We received, this morning, the Paris Papers of Wed-
nesday. . .
Don JosErst na HEREDth, brother to the present 111i-
nister for Foreign Affairs in Spain, is said to be coming
to our Court with a mission relative to the liquid.ation of
the claims of our merchants. The arrangement made
•on this subject with the Cortes, and sanctioned by Falt•
DISIAND himself, was annulled by his cetebrated Decree
of Port St. Mary's, together with all the other acts done
tinder the Constitutional system. It was, however, so
consonant With justice, that it must form the basis, if
net the whole, of any future settlement.
in the Journal des Dedats we meet with the following
observations err the present state of the French Funds:
"The Items for money have to:day (/15th) exceeded
par. ;It is am event which will be marked in the history
of our fillances. In the antient regime the rentes never
were beyond 64 and under Bonaparte, they were not
higher than 91.. It has been reserved for•the Constitu.
tional regime, and to a Royalist Minister, to see theM
at par. The Opposition Journais do not cease to state,
that France will be crushed by loans. It is true that we
oN e one hundred and ninety-seven millions of rentes ;
sixty-three are anterior to the Restoration, and arise
from 4.1 debts to tae S;atz. One hundred and thirty
were created to pay the arrears of the Revolution, and
the charges imposed on us during the Hundred Days.
Four millions went to pay for the war in Spain ;and these
tour millions alone belong to the King and Government."

DECREE OF TILE KING OF. SPAIN.
- By an Express from Paris we have received, this
ndbrr, the Eloik of yestet day, which furnishes us with
a copy, or rather abstract of the Decree itself, by which
the KING of Seale has laid open the trade to the Mae-
rican.Colonies. The Decree, which is dated the 9th inst.
begins by abolishing, in his" Maartsvy's estates beyond,,
sea, the constitutional regime, and declaring the re--
establishment of Lis Government on the same footing
as before the 7th of Marcl, 1820.
• Article first then declares, « that a direct commerce
shall be maintained in my American States with
strangers, subjects of my Allies, and friends to Spain:
and the merchant vessels s,f the said Allies shall be ad-
shitted to.trade sail ports, as they are in the
ports of my European dominions."
Article second ordains, that there shall be a Decree'
er Law to regulate the said commerce, and to irnt we the
ports-where k will be permitted, as well in the Northern
Seas and Islands, as in the Pacific rOcean. Custom-
houses are to be established, where duties fur importa.
rims end exportatior shall he received, ou au equal foot-
ing, from the subjects of the said Powers.
Article third provides, that it shall also be deter-
mined by regulations, what advantage and preference
shall be given to the commerce, navigation, agriculture,
and industry albs Spaniards.
Article fourth declares that, until the two preceding
Articles are perfeetty executed, there shall be no innova-
tions in the existing state of the commerce of America,
but that the Decree shall be carried into effect as seen
as possible.la all ether pill's. The Decree is also de-
• dared to extend to Cuba.
''The King of SPAIN is stated to have alsoratified, by
a Decree of the it of-this month, the Treaty concluded
en the sth of January between Count OFALIA, Fiat
Secretary of State, and the Marquis TALARU, relative
to the prizes made by the two nations during the war.

2Cm York Paper's have arrived to the 25th January,
tut they are very barren of information. The follow•
kg is from the Commereisi Advertiser of January 23:
" We learn that some Spanish Constitutionalists of
'distinguished merit have arrived at Baltimore from
Tenerife, white they bad fled from Spain. One of
them is Mr. Mesia, another is the late Editor of the
Cadiz Garette, the third is Perrito. Orders bad been
received at Tenerife, that they should be imnwdiately
seized, and sent back to Spain to be tried. They es-
caped with difficulty ea board of ship from a troop
of horse."

eeived at Glasgow by the last Jamaica Mail, are not of

° EXECUTION OF THE REBELS.
" DW. 50.—The eight culprits were executed at Port Marla, In
the most solemn and impressive manner, on Wednesday, in pursu-
ance of his Grace's warrant. Richard Cowley acknowledged his
guilt to the Rev. Messrs. Girod and Coolie. They were unremitting
in their attendance on the wretched and deluded beings.
" From the evidence it appeared, beyond'the shadow of a dosht,
that they designed to set are to Frontier Works, adjoining Pert I
Maria, and to butcher the whites and free persons of colour, as
they came to extinguish she ire, then to come down en the towns
and rake possession of la, while a detachment seised the fort."
