The news from Madrid .% rich has beilt last received,
reaches to the 10th of November. The embarrass-
ment of the Treasury continues to be extreme, and M.
Peralta, who has replaced, ad interim, the Tieasurer-
General, M. Soret, will not probably be ab'e to find the
means of meeting the first instalment of fifteen millions,
which the French Government seems resolve I to insist
upon in re-imbursement of its advances. 'lhere was
much talk in Madrid of a No ewhich had been ad-
dressed to Fortign Powers, informing them that the
change which has taken place in the Minittry will have
no effect upon the system of government, which will
continue to be always the same. This information is
indeed very consolatory.
We stated yesterday, upon the authority of tl:e
Memorial Bordelais, that the ship the Guardian Angel
and its cargo have been confiscated by the Government
of Peru. From advises received by the Louisa, we

AuuusT 20.—it is now certain-that a Commission
of Inquiry into the state of this Ciilony has been deter-
mined upon by the B-itish rverrimenr, and that the
Commissioners may shortly be expected here. We have
heard the name of one among those appoin. ed, and that
is Colonel young, who administered the Government,
of Trinidad during Sir R. Woodford's abstnice.—Al-
though we cannot see the necessity of setiding C mmis-
sioners here, under existing circumstances, we stall still
be most happy to see them, as we feel assured that
their report must eventually benefit this Colony in an -
eminent degr. e. We do not look back to the past, nor
will we attempt to discuss the propriety of those inea-
sums which have been formerly adopted on behalf of
this Colony. Of this, at least, we feel assured, that the
capabilities and natural advantap.es of Sierra Leone are
equal to all, and superior to many of his Majesty's..
tropical possessions. It req.uires 01115 a skilful guide,
with rutlicieat support. from hometor a few years, to
render it one of the most valuable jewels of the British
Crown ; and calmly and conscientiously we declare our
firm belief, that, it left to the operation of those plans,
which are. now formed .for its welfare, it will yet realize
the best wishes of its warmest friends. It is with this
conviction, therefore, we bail the arrival of we:l in-
formed, unprejudiced men, as a happy omen of the
future prosperity of this hitherto unfortunate Colony;
feeling well assured that it requres only to be beater
known to be duly appreciated.
AUGUST 13.-04 Thursday week ar iverl his Ma-
jesty's ship Redwing, Captain Clavering, from Eng-
land, last from the Cape de V: rd Islands, having had
the misfortune to strike on the S.W. feet of the Island
of Boriavista, during the night, in endeavouring to avoid
the Leton Rock. She has, fortunately, satoored little
damage, and that :n the fal.e keel oak. Captain
Clavering left Portsm :uth on the 4:h of June list, and,
on the same day, the Bann, with our highly atceined
friend Captain Courtenay, anived at Spithead. The
Redwing has brought out the British silver money
which has been so long looked for, and which we feel
will ultimately prove of thegteatestbenefit to the com-
merci ii intere.t of ibis Colony. The portion intended
for this station has been alleit.iy Landed, and as soon as
the Red w ing has completed her wood and way r she
will proceed to Cape Coast, where the remainder will
be given in charge to the senior Commissar iat Offi:er of
that station. Captain Clavering will then endeavour to •
join the Commodore, wt.° ktends remaining to lees and
until November next.

Thursday cattle into this harbour the schooner
Belvidere, New by master, from Liverpool, having
called in the Gambia, whither she returns immediately,
for the purpose of loading a cargo of the valu, ble timber
of that river. She has brought letters from St. Mary's,
which decribe that settlement as generally healthy,
but that the rains were about setting in regularly. We
regret to le ut n that the gum trade has completely failed .
this season; the brig Hambletonian- having only ob-
tained S 6 tons of gum, while the Sarah has not been
able to trade for any, and has, theiefore, returned to St.
►Mary's, where she will take in a cargo of wax and
hides ; it is said she will sail for England about the
middle of this month.

Ills Majesty the King of Barra seems to have pro-
fitted by the useful lesson he received from his Excel-
lency the Governor-General, and remains perfectly
tranquil under his losses. The general trade of the river
was going on in the usual course.

Advices have been received from Batavia to the 20th
of August. The ProcLunation of the Government,
published on the 14th of July, for establishing a gene-
ral system of entrepot, was considered by the merchants
to be founJed on sound principles of trade, and likely
to prove beneficial to the industry and commerce ofJava.
A private letter, dated Ostend, Nov. 19, says, that
it was currently reported that the Pope had excommu-
nicated the King of the NETHERLANDS, and that the
instrument of excommunication had arrived, although
it was not openly published.
Letters from Riga of the sth instant, mention that
the weather has unexpectedly turned to rain, with every
appearance of long continuance.
The number of pupils admitted into the schools
which have succeeded to those that are suppressed in
the Netherlands is two hundred and silty, and at Liege
eight hundred and seventy-one.
A letter from Gibraltar, dated Slit October, men-
' tions that grain is in great demand for the States of
Barbary ; and Spain is also expected to require consi-
derable further imports before a ext harvest.

It is confidently stated, that the Governor and De-
puty Governor of the Bank have requested and obtained
ar. interview with the CHANCELL^R of the EXCHSQUILItt
at which they represented the difficulty which the Bank
would find to supply money to pay off the Exchequer
Bills, which would probably be in course of payment
at the end of the Quarter :—That while those Bills were,
from the g►eat scarcity of money, likely to fall below
p •r, it WAS unlikely that the holders of them would,
when they are called in, be content to exchange them
fur other Exchequer Bills in preference to money ; and
that such a large demand for money was, therefore, to
be foreseen, as would render it impossible for the Bank
to meet without inconvenience to its own interests.

What truth there may be in the statement that this
representation has taken place we know not, but we
deny the consequence asserted to be the necessary result,
namely, that the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER bas
no other remedy than to fund a large proportion of
Exchequer Bills. We should think the more obvious
remedy would be, first to issue a new set of Exchequer
Bills at higher interests and this we conceive is necessary
to prevent those now in the market from falling to a very
heavy discount. When the ordinary rent of money in the
funded securities is better than 3a per cent. it is not tube
expected that Exchequer Bills, on unfunded stock, how-
ever convenient as a ready money security, will main-1
taln their ground at less than 21 per cent. On a pledge
being given to the Bank that such an arrangement
would be proposed to Parliament, it is not to be sup-
posed that the money to pay off the Exchequer Bills re.
tuned, ss ould be withheld. And this measure would, no
doubt, tend to repair the temporary evil resulting from
a scarcity of money, which it cannot be denied prevails
at present to an alarming eattllt.

At a late hour we received the Etoile of yesterday by
Express. It contains no domestic or foreign intelli-
gence importance, unless a long account t f the cere-
monial of the nuptials of Prince MAXIMILIAN of Saxony
to the Princess of Lucca, or the report that Prince WIL-
LIAM of Prussia will:not depart for his Government at
Ma)ence until spring, may be considered such. M. De
LEIDIRMANN has been appointed Minister Plenipoten-
tiat y from Prussia to the Court of Spain.

The King and Qu• en of SARDINIA arrived at Genoa
on the 6th instant. A Sardinian vessel from Lisbon,
richly laden, had been driven on the coast.
The Atoik contains a very long article, of more than
page, on Spain and America, in which it seems to at
ttibute all the political changes that have taken
place in the Old and New World, to the French
Revolution, which, it states, entirely altered the a,-
pect of society. Spain is accused .of committing two.
great faults, in joining France in acknowledging the
independence of the United States, and in ceding Lc uisi
ana to BONAPARTE, which led in its being transferred
tithe United States. The war in Portugal, which drove
the House of BRAGANZA to Brasil, is another fault;
abet thl institution of Juntas and popular Governments

In Spain, is remarked a, is.dangerous example to the
American provinces.
In discussing the means left to Spain, in her present situation,
the Etoili thinks the Colonies might have been brought again
under Spanish dominion. had not England and the United States
recognised their tridependence, but that to reconquer them is in(
practicable ;in this we perfectly agree. The Editor cannot make
up his mind to the recognition of those States by Spain, at pre-
sent, but as he promises another article, in which he will shew the
way for Spain to conciliate her own interests and those of the rest
of Europe and America, we hope it will be by recommending a
speedy recognition of every colony that has established its inde-
pendence, since to this complexion Spain must come at last, and
every delay increases the animosities and strengthens the power of
the sew Republics.

The Dutch are very unfortunate in securing the
friendship or subordination of their Colonies, which are
and have almost invariably been discontented. This is
extraordinary, as there is nothing in the national chaiac-
ter of the Dutch, as exhibited at home, to justifiat sus-
picion that they are a more tyrannical people than the,
rest of Europe, In former times the Dutch Governors
played sad- antics in their colonial possessions, but
whether it is to a continuance of ill-treatment or mis-
management, or to a prejudice founded on former op-
pressions, that we the to attribute the insurrections
which we learn have broken out in the Dutch East
India Colonies, we know not.

It appears by the Datarian newspapers and private
letters which have been received to the 3d of August,
that an unexpected disturbance had broken out in
the Residency of Djocjokarta. It had been observed
by the Resident, that a Prince, called Di e° Neoax°,
one of the tutors of the young Sultan, who is a minor,.
had assembled a great number of people at his resi•
dente, and it was suspected that some insurrectionary)
movement was in contemplation, particularly as the
Prince refused to explain the motives of this proceeding.
At last, on the 21st of July, the Resident haring
thought it his duty to order his appearance, he opposed
the armed force sent against him, and made his escap-,
along with another Pangerang, called ?el ANIEOE BOEMlE,
with whom he was in league:
....The two Princes, along
w!th their troops, took up a positiOn at a little distance
from the residence of the Sultan, where they.were at-
tacked by a detachment of Dutch troops on the 27th
of July, s ithout any decisive result. The insurgents
were for the time dispersed, and fled whenever the
Dutch forces made. a demonstration of attacking thens
On the receipt of this intelligence, the Lieutenant• Go-,
vernor sent order. to the Governor of Samarang (the
capital of the eastern district), to take all necessary
precautions to prevent the evils which might arise from
this incipient rebellion. On the. 29th, his Excellency
himself reached Samarang, and immediately set out
for Sourakarta, the capital of what is called the em-
pire or dominions of the Su-su-bunang cf Java.—
There he is said to have found all friendly, and to
have procured a reinforcement of Imperial troops to
join his own against those of the rebellious Governors
of the Sultan. Detachments of the garrisons of Sa-
marang and Wittev cede had likewise marched towards
the seat of the insurrection. Even at Djocjokarta tran-
quillity was said to be re-established s hen the last ac-
counts came away, but this seems doubtful, from the
parade that is made of the circumstance, that the
mother of the Sultan, and one of his remaining guar-
dians, had remained true to their Dutch alliance.

The insurgents are said to have spread themselves
over the Dutch Province of Kadoe, and to have been
successfully attacked and dispersed whereVer they could
be met by a Dutch detachment.
In addition to these native risings, the Sdltan of Soo-
loo had declared war, and his army had approached
within thirty miles of Samarang. General Ds Koca
had immediately quitted the capital with a strong force
to meet the enemy. The Sooloo Islands are a chain of
islands extended in a northeast and south-west direction
from the north-eastern extremity of Borneo to the west-
ern extremity of Magindana. The natives are stated to
be a warlike race. Various other native tribes had de-
clared against the Dutch power, and it appeared that a
general rising against the Europeans had been planned.
The Chinese of Ponkeina, a Duch settlement on the
west coast of Borneo, had also rebelled and murdered
the Europeans, and various other districts were also in a
state of revolt. The following is an extract of a letter :

“ Bavavta, Aunerr I.
” The Sultan of Soolo has declared war against the Dutch, and
by the last accounts his armiai,were only 20 miles from Samarang.
It is supposed the Emperor of Jug-Jug-Jarta would join him.
Everything is confusion here. General De Kock, the Lieutenant.
Governor, has set off express to join the forces. The Buggeese, at
Macassar, are in revolt. The Chinese, and inhabitants of Pontianna
and Bangennassin, are also in rebellion, and have massacred their
respective Residents. It appears the Government of this place are
most peculiarly unfortunate."

Tbis forenoon New York papers to the Ist instant,
and Boston papers to the 29th ult. v ere received at
the North and South American Coffee-house. One of
these, the Boston Daily American 'statesman of the 28th
of October, states that all the cedar and spruce swamps,
together with all the prairies and marshes, from the
Cascades in Lower Canada, to Glengarry in Upper
Canada, are on fire. The fire is said to extend back
nearly fifty miles from St. Lawrence, about the same
distance up, making 2,500 square miles of land bn fire•
In swamps it burns from two to five feet. It affects
both man and beast—cattle are said to be dying off in
droves, and it so affects the eyes and lungs of people,
that business of all kinds is nearly suspended.
Fires are also said to have been lately raging in New
Ireland and New Jerusalem, In New Brunswick. Th.!
back settlements had all been destroyed—thoae at Bar-
tibog and Nappau, and many cottages between Nel-
son and Chatham ; the towns of Newcastle and
fionglas, leaving not more than twenty houses stand-
ing on that side of the river. The lives that were lost
it was impossible to ascertain. The wild beasts from

the woods were seen dead upon the shore, and thou.,
sands of fish were floating about. Many lelple were
compelled to fly into the water to escape the flames,
and perished in the attempt. There were no less in the
whole than 1.500 persons in want of shelter, food, and
clothing. The fire had ran over an extent of 100 miles
in length, and 40 in breadth. The loss sustained at
Fredericton, was estimated at 130,000 dollars. Sub-
scriptions were raising in New York for the sufferers
by the fire at Miramichi—a calamity truly calculated
to excite the sympathy of the whole civilized world.

Governor Tame, who lately distinguished himself by his threat-
ening a dissolution of the Union, has been re-elected in Georgia.
These Papers contain intelligence of a late date from se-
veral part. of South America, including accounts from Lima
of the 51st July. At that period, Gen. Roast. still held the Castle
of Callao. The English frigates Toasts and Barrow visited that
fortress ou :be 29th July, when their Commanders,Capt. Blows and
Sir M. Marwatt,were permitted to go on shore by the Governor,
who got up a splendid entertainment for them, probably with the
view of creating an impression that his garrison was able to sustain
a much longer siege. Roan. had positively rejected all offers to
treat on the pan of the Colombian General, and continued to keep
np the spirits of his troops by propagating stories of the successes of
the Royal arms in Upper Peru.
A letter from Callan, of a less recent date, states, that tbe gar-
rison had several times attempted to revolt, and it is asserted
that in one of these attempts, the Colonel of the battalion of Are-
quipa had been shot. It is stated that the army of Roam loses at least
ten men daily, by disease, execution, and desertion to the besieging
army. On the 7th of July, two boats, with twelve men each, made
their escape from the Castles and surrendered to the national frigate
Protector. The works against the Castles were in forwardness.
Bogota Papers to the 18th September, announce that Dr. Goat.
' Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs in the Republic of Colombia,
was to leave Bogota on the loth of October, for Panama,
and that two representatives from the Republic of Peru sailed from
Chorillos on the sth of June, to assist at the General Congress.
Bottva R himself was expected to reach Panama by the middle of
December. Caraccas Papers to the sth of October had been re-
ceived at Baltimore, stating that the canvass in that State for the
Presidency of the Republic of Colombia, closed on the 4th, when
BoLnaa was unanimously chosen President, Dr. Comma. Motu-
DO2A Vice-('resident.

The brig Plicebe, arrived at Baltimore, in thirty-four days from
Bahia, and twenty-four from Pernambuc►, had brought intelligence
that a few days before she sailed, great rejoicings took place at
Bahia, in consequence of the acknowledgment of the independence
of Brazil by Portugal.

THE KING.

WINDSOR, NOVEMBER O.—Yesterday afternoon his
