KINGBTON, DECEMBER 18.

(korai Simon Belivars has published a manna-
*, for the purpose of inviting all foreigners, of
J.teeee nation or profession they may be, to esta.
iTh themselves in these provinces under the imme-
(liAte protection of Government, who wilt dispense
to. oce to them openly and frankly. He gives this
,Matt„ n, fully poluaded that the fertility of the soil,
its varinus and precious productions, the mildness of
die climate, and the prudent administration which
„wow personal security, and preserve the sacted
:lets of property, will confer upon emigrants all the
advantages and comforts that they could enjoy in
their own countries.
Action has laid an embargo on all vessels in the
vas of Hayti under his authortity, in consequence of
the late detentions in this island (Jamaica).
It now appears that the Government of Carla-
.6a is disposed to Check, as much as possible, priva-
ering, as it has latterly demanded a considirable
increase of securities before it will permit any vessel
of this description to proceed to sea.
privateers, under different colours, it seems, abound
e the coast of Cuba ; and Puente Escondido is their
bead quarters.
By private letters from Curacoa, swe Warn that
Puente Cavelle still holds out against the independent
array. The latter has possession of the adjacent
country.. The Royalists, we understand, lost, in lan-
ding at Laguira, 200 men, and nearly 2004nore have
died since in garrison there.
Latterly there has not been any intercourse be.
tween the island of Trinidad and the insurgents on
the Spanish Main, in the neighbourhood of that co-
lony, in consequence of a coolyeception having been
given to an Embassy of the Revolutionists. he
trade, therefore, which Vas formerly carried on with
Trinidad, by means of these branches, has been trans.
' fared to the island of Granada.

46 However difficult it appears to settle a solid
peace whilst Bonaparte is in existence, it appears in-
dubitable that they are treating about it. In respect.
to the intelligence from France, it is said that Bona—
parte has stated, in a Message to the Senate, that it
was necessary to admit the propositions which the
Allies had . presented for peace. .With regard to
England, we are assured that Lord Castlereagh was
to set out for the head-quarters of the Attie% furnish.
ed with full powers to enter into negociations. -At
Passage there has lately arrived a Spanish Officer,
who is said to be brother to the Conde deFernanunez.
and tifit he brings dispatches for Government ; and
at Madrid there has arrived the Duke of San Carlos,
who came asiaras Vich, escorted by Frebchmete-.-
and brings, we are assured, dispatches relative to
peace. We have before us a letter, from that ciipital,l
in which it is stated that the Council of State was
going to have an extraordinary meeting, at which
the said Duke and the English Ambassador would
assist. It adds, we are easy, because nothing'can be
concluded without the approbation of the Cortes.—
At what other period could oppressed Sppiards say
as much ?" , •
The Vittoria Paper of the 15th of January, atter
_giving the Decree of the Ist of January, 1811, de.
Oaring void all acts and agreements of the King,
during his oppression, without or within Spain,. con-
tains tile following remarks:—" in the state in which
Bonaparte now finds himself, with hi's infamous and
perfidious dispositions, a new intrigue would not be
extraordinary. We all know the man, although he
considers himself so great : hi does not fail to have
recourse to the most, abject knd humiliating means,
when they lead to that end which he proposes. On
the other side, the candour of our beloved Ferdinand
his inexperience, the want of Counsel, of guide; what
wonder would .it be, should the Corsican seduce, him,
and by deceit or by violence, oblige him' to sign a,
contract ?—Spaniards ! let us be on our, guard; there
is scarcely one among us who dues not understand
the value of the treaties and promises of 'Bonaparte-r-
-ich° does not comprehend his views; which are, to
separate et, at any expence, from our Allies, in order
to smooth his difficulties in this part, proceed, with all
his forces. to tar Rhine, and afters ards return with
the same to oppress us. - Should he succeed in em-
broiling us among ourselves, so much the better for
him. Let us be on our guard, gpaniardr. . This is'
all the comment we shall make at present upon the
Decree, to which the mystericus and sudden arrival
of the Duke of San Carlos at Madrid has given rise:"
PRINCESt OF PORTUGAL INVI rED TO SPAIN.
" LissoN, 74N. 10, 1814.
" It is stated, with the utmost cnidiAeace, in the
best informed circles here, that the Cortes, uoder the
impression that the release of Ferdinand VII. was
ler), distant, if not hopeless, sent. a short tune since,
au invitat,-an to the Princess of Portugal, Who is in!
the Brazils, to re-tiara to Europe, and Assume. the
sceptre of the Spapish Monarchy. This Princess',
who is the consort of the Prince Regent, is in her
owti right heir to the throw. in' the event of the
I death of the captive family in France_ Ihe fact or.
the invitation having transpired, mated much alarm
in this capital. It vat urged by the polititians,th*
as it could not- be supposed that the Prince would
live separate frogs his wife, and as their offspring
would inherit both Crows, it seas probable that dse
two countries might be relied immediately, in whiek
case Machid would be the capital, and Portugal
would be reduced to the degraded situation of a pop-
virce of Spain. History might be quetea to demon-
orate the anspoliey of Such an-union, which will never
obtain the cordial Concurrence of-the Portuguese.—
The attempt will certainly endanger the succession
of the reigning family.
" The Brio* Government, it is known, are not
anigos to facilitate the threatened union of the two
• countries. It is even rumoured, chit if they cannot
Prevent the Princess from coming over, they will en-
deavour that she shall be accompanied by-the Prince,
. her consort, and trust to his good sense and affection
for gill continuing to his countrymen the blessings•of
hadependent Government."
