The following is the current report which prevails:
it is pretended that the Minister does not find support

which are the removing of the custom-houses to the

clergy.

FROM TILE CONSTITUTIONNEL, JAN. S.

A report has prevailed for several days that there
will be held at Paris a Congress to discuss the affairs
of South America. It is said that France and Spain
are dispO.ed to acinouledge *the independence of the
new Republics; on condition that they will give to Spain
a large sum of money by which she can indemnify
France with a certain part for her expenses.
The Paris Journals contain an ordonnaace appointing
the Count de VI LLELE Knight Commander of the Royal
Orders. The" Journals of Friday are chiefly occupied
with addresses of congratulation Yo the KING. and Royal
Family by different public bodies. According to a let-
ter from Madrid, FERDINAND has ordered the Directors,
of the Public Credit to desist• froth recoveries on the
property of the Jesuits, of whiCk they have the tempo
nary administration, and which is to be restored to that
society. On Tuesday •Pozzo DI BORGO, accompanied

40 CIRCULAR Of TIM FINANCE MINISTER.
ff I have written to the Intendant of Zamora, under
date of the Ist of December, the following letter:
" < I have submitted to the King,- my master, your
Excellency's Report on the open refusal of the Munici-
pality of Zamora to furnish rations to the auxiliary
troops. His Majesty, after taking cognizance of this
frct, bas resolved, that, hi conformity with the decision
of the Regency of the Kingdom, dated July 19, the
said Municipality,,and every other in the Kingdom, are
to furnish rations to ‘the French troops, wherever they
may be, in preferenee'eren to the Spanish troop's: be-
sides, independently of eihatlis'eVpresserl in this resolu-
tion on the means of reimbursement, it is shocking that

It appears by letters from Canton, which haire been
brought by the Themes East Indiasnan,- b the sth a
August, that 'there is some fears of a new misunder.
standing with the Chinese Authorities. It appears that
the affair of the TOPAYE* frigate has by no means been
forgotten, though generally understood to have been ar-
ranged in a satisfadtory manner. On the arrival of the
Thames in the river of Canton, uhich took place early in
June, a perso'n was sent on board by the VICRROY.tO in-
quire whether they had brought out with them the mut.
'hems of those persons who fell in the affair erthe-Tnear.f-,
and were prepared to deliver them uP tia beiratiOdiraz':

in th 4 usual manner,' triat the nrisnndei tandhig shoe'
undergo a strict investigation by-the ove.i ['
incur, and that the offendert tad 'be brought to Can-
on by the first ship of the present season. The Corr_
manner of theThanies evaded the rertis:ition,hy
as was the fact, that his sliip.was 'not the first of 01::
new season, but the last of the preceding one, having
been detained alt unusual time on the voyage; and,
with this pica the VICF.IIOV professed himself satisfied.
In the beginning of August, however, before the Thames
had cleated with her cargo, the Bombay, which was in
reality the first ship 'of the new season, arrived in the
river at Canton, when,theapplicatiou was repeated, aed
met with a reply so little satisfactory; that there iv:lino
probability, that the Bombay would be permitted to tae
in her cargo. I tCloes not appear that the trade nits actually
stopped, the Bombay having proceeded from Macao
to make the experiment, and the result not baps known.
The other ships which had arrived subseeventll to. the
Bombay, were waiting at Macao until itsvas- ascer-
tained what course was adopted by the VICEROY,
respect to that sbi.p. Theanost. violent ciaudoct on.bis
part was apprehended,' and it was reported that. the
whole-or the Hong, or security merchants, had 'been
sent to Pekin to answer for the onsission.of.the expected
redress by the British Government. TMs intelligence
caused some sensatide in-the City on Saturday, and
India Stock fell' hew:la:tete atd three peicent.
Without inquiring whether there is aoy ground fc-
the irritation and alarm which. pervallei out West India
Colonies, it is necessary to receive the accounts-trans-
mitted from them with caution: for men do 'not always
reason correctly where their feats or their inters is ii:-
terPose. In Demerara there certainly bas been an 1:1-
surrettion which, though apparently formidable; was
soon suppressed. In 'Fiinidad, the chief df the Leo.
Vird Islands, a conspiracy has also been detected, and
the,last accounts state that considerable alarm prevailed

to crush at once -any attempt at insurrection; but i 3
Jamaica, where the Colonists have' been the most ii:-
temperate, there has not been the - slightest attempt

unnecessary the alarm is that prevails in that Island at
least. -The good order that exists in Jamaica is not only
proved negatively but positively, and that on the snov:
incontrovertible evidence; the statement of the Colo-
nists themselves.

The Glasgow. Courier, which has always been one of
the warmest advocates of the Planters, says." We have
before us a letter from-a Gestlemaa in Jamaica, a Mem-
ber of the Assembly, which states, that .the slaves in
Jamaica had as yet evinced no bad disposition, though
what had passed in the mother country was perfectly
known to them all. They conversed freely about it, and
several of the more intelligent made inquiries of the
white people about the troth-of the reports, and expressed
their astonishment that vetch measures should be agi-
tated and recommended in Great Britain as these, which,
if carried into effect, would be ruin to them all. They
unequivocally declare that they would rather remain a;
they are, convinced that their situation and condition
are much better than they would then be. One half of
the number, they assert, would certainly not 'work, and
consequently that portion must, they say, live by robbing,
plundering, and murdering the more wealthy aad in-
dustrious. These negroes are right."
The same Paper adds, that " the appearances of the
crops in several of the islands were favourable, but the
Coloinies were in the greatest distress for American sup-
plies. In some they had neither staves nor lumber to
meet the approaching crop. The mon norm had
