the vote this motion was rejected, and the original
motion for theitemit to the Minister for Foreign Af-
fairs, w.as carried by a large majority.
After some other unimportant matters of form, the
Proclamation for the prorogation was then read, and
the Chamber separated.
An article under the head of Constantinople, states,
that the negociations between the Sublime Porte and
Russia have experienced an entire stagnation. At the
departure of the last Courier, Baron STROGONOTI
had not yet received the instructions which he ex-
pected from Ratisbon. The Minister of Spain has.
been equally unsuccessful in obtaining the satisfaction
which he demands, and which has been supported by
the concurrence of all the other European Ministers.

This sort of indifference on the part of the Ottoman
Court to the European Ambassadors, presents a sin-
gular contrast to the favour shown to the Ambas-
sador from Persia, whose mission, according to report,
has for its object to establish between the two Courts,
a kind of federation, which may guarantee them from
any attack from European Powers.

We have received this morning American Papers
to the 25th ultimo.

Congress rose on the 20th April, and adjourned
till December. Before rising, they resolved that the
PRIAIDINT of the United States be requested to ob-
tain from the Spanish Authorities all the records and
official documents appertaining to the Government
of Louisiana, particularly such as concerns grants
and titles to land which may have been taken out of
that country at the period of its cession to the Unit-
ed States.

The following Extract from the Aurora not only
confirms the report of a victory having been gained
by MORILLO over the Independents, but adds an
account of some farther successes said to have been
gained by that. General:—

" PHILADELPHIA, APRIL SO.

" We have received Caraccas Gazettes to the 16th
and 18th of March, containing the official dispatches
from the Commander in Chief MoatLLo to the Cap-
tain General, pro kmpore, of Venezuela, giving an
account of his great success against the Insurgents.
He claims a series of victories.

" The detail of the battle of the 15th March is of
interest. It was fought at La Cabrera. BOLIVAR
lost 250 men slain, 40 loads of ammunition, and
about 2200 horses and mules. Monza.° continued
the pursuit, and mentions in his dispatches that he
would follow them to the Orinoko. His head-quar-
ters were at Caquira on the 15th March, and at
Villa de Cura on the 16th."

" In addition is what I have already said, I have it further
to state, that the movements of the inhabitants, situated between
the Llanos and Santa-Fe. every day become more serious, not-
with.tanding the absolute want of arms, a few miserable lar.ces
being the only weapons they are able to obtain. Two letters
from the capital Of Santa-Fe, and dated the latter end of Fe-
bruary, the one from a Creole and the other from a Spaniard,
concur in stating, that Colonel Torres, in the entire confidence
of the Spanish Viceroy Samano, had gone out about the be-
ginning of the same month with 500 or 600 soldiers, and in
a few days 80 wounded returned, stating that they had lost 150
by deserti . Of the Commander and the remainder of the
troops nothing is said, so that here we are anxiously looking out
for the next news from Carthagena. It is reported that Santan-
der, a Patriotic Chief, has formed a junction with Colonel No-
nato Perez. Br the last accounts from Panama, we understand
the Spanish trade in that quarter is completely cut up."
"SANTIAGO DE CHILI, DEC. 24, 1817.

" The army has left this, and the tc.wn is in charge of the
Micas (volunteers). Sra I►laerus's head-quarters are twelve
leagues from the coast, towards Valparaiso, where he himself
is. O'llmoms has the remainder of the army, about 4,000
men, under him to the southward. SAN Deanne has about the
same number. The Spanish expedition of 4,000 men from Lima
was daily expected to land. The army under Saa Rearm look-
ing for their arrival with impatience, and all ranks in the highest
spirits at the prospect of having another opportunity of meet-
ing the Spaniards. At all events, come what may, we have
not (the British) the least apprehension of the reinstatement of
the Spanish Government.

44 We expect two ships of 30 guns each from the United States
in about a month, if they arrive the fate of thewhole coast of
the Pacific will be soon decided in favour of the Patriots. At
Valparaiso there are the Perla and Minerva, of 450 tons each,
taken from the Spaniards, with valuable cargoes; the Jesus
Maria also prize, bound to Talcaguano with supplies for the
Royalists, together with the following vessels :
" British—Bengal, 300 tons • Hyver, 400 ; Packet, 300; Ca-
talina Schooner; Wane! Min:, 300; Portsea, 450.
" Amenican--Lion, 410 tom.
" The Eqseranza of 40guna, expected from Buenos Ayres a,
Valparaiso. The Aquila, Chill Government brig, out cruising."
EXTRACT OP A LETTER PROW BUENOS AYRES, JAN. i 5
" Since my last nothing material has transpired, excepting the
intelligence of an unsuccessful attack on Talcakuna by General
O'llicours, who, after carrying two redoubts, was obliged to
return with considerable loss."

The PRINCE REGENT had a Grand Dress Party at
Carlton-House last night, consisting of a great num-
ber of the Nobility and Gentry. The company began
to assemble between nine and ten o'clock, and did
not break up till a late hour.

terday evening for Pans, with dispatches.
Mr. LATCHFORD, King's Messenger, left town yes-
terday evening, with dispatches for the Earl of CLAN-
CARTY, at the Hague.

Quint from the House of Commons, last night, was
occasioned by the death of his mother-in-law, Lady
AUCKLAND.

A Bill of considerable importance was last night
brought into the House of Peers by the LORD CHAN-
CELLOR, rendered necessary by the declining health
of the Queen.. The object of the Bill is to provide
. i for the care of the KING's person in such a manner
as Inay meet the impaired health .of her MAJESTY
1 .
and the event of her demise.
i The Alien Bill passed the House of Commons last
1 night. It is rather a curious coincidence, that while
, .
this Bill is in progress through Parliament, the French
Chamber of Deputies should have been occupied with
the consideration of a Petition from the celebrated
Count d'Anort.y, complaining of the treatment
which himself and other French Exiles have expe-
rienced from Foreign Powers, in hunting them from
State to State. The Reporter, (in the name of the
Committee to whom the Petition had been referred,)
remarks, that these Exiles " are not the less French-
.l .
men, and, as such, are entitled to enjoy, in the coun-
tries in which they reside, the civil rights attached
to that quality."—This Report, if it means any thing,
holds, that though as Frenchmen they cannot enjoy,
in their own country, residence or the advantages of
1 i civil protection, yet they have a right to them every
where else. We are not advocates for severities
against Aliens, especially such as need protection, by
being expelled from their natural homes by their
own national kindred ; but we cannot subscribe to a
I doctrine which would establish it as a principle, that
other nations are bound to furnish shelter to every
miscreant that may be banished from France.
The Paris Papers of Sunday arrived this morning.
The Chamber of Peers met on Saturday, when
the Duke of RICHELIEU, and the KEEPER of the
SEALS, presented a Royal Proclamation, ordaining
the closing of the Session of 1817, and the Chamber
separated amid cries of Vive le Roi.
. The Chamber of Deputies also met on the same
. ,
day ; but previous to the reading of the Royal Pro-
clamation for the closing of the Session, M. KIVIERE,
Reporter of the Committee of Petitions, made a Re-
port on a Petition of the exile Count REONAUD De
1.1 . SAINT JEAN D'ANGELY, which, as contrasted with
the proceedings in otir own Parliament on the Alien
Bill, merits notice. Count D'ANGELY, said the Re-
porter, solicits the intervention of the Chamber, in
order that the Diplomatic Agents of France may ob-
tain for French Exiles in foreign countries, that pro-
tection which the laws of nations, misinterpreted to
their prejudice, ought to secure to them. " If, as I
dare hope from your justice," says the Petitioner,
6, you will remit my Petition to a Committee, the
facts which it will be easily able to ascertain, will
furnish the detail and the proofs of all the grievances
which my companions in exile and myself have
experienced, and which, till now, we have sup-
ported with courage and resignation. But their
duration, the appeal ante of a prolongation without
end, have at last exhausted our physical as well
i as moral strength ; indignation against injustice
has succeeded to patience ; the pride of a French
; .
soul, faithful to a country which misfortune and exile
have only made dearer to it than ever, revolts against
the absolute subjection in which an inexorable foreign
I • police would hold it, and the humiliation of which
seems to reflect upon the nation to which it belongs.
It is not the termination of my exile that I solicit;—
time will ere long bring round the return of justice,
and the cessation of unfounded resentments ; the ne-
cessity of banishing party divisions, of forgetting the
past, and of effecting a general reunion of sentiment
and will, will be felt by all hearts truly French. But
until this happy epoch an ive, the exiles have need
of powerful protection against the rigorous treatment
which they experience, and which as such is scarcely
1; to be equalled in the annals of history."
After giving an abstract of the remainder of the
I Petition, the Reporter added—" Considering that the
individuals comprehended in the punishment of exile
i inflicted by the Ordinance of the 24th of July, 1815,
and 1?y the law of the month of January following,
• r are not the less Frenchmen enjoying the civil rights
attached to that quality ; and on that account, and
4 as long as they observe the laws of the country in
1 '''' 1 which they may reside, they ought to enjoy the ad-
? 1 vantages which the laws of nature and of nations
assure to every individual, the Commission propose
the remit of the petition to the Minister for Foreign
, Affairs."
M. SAULNIER supported the proposition for the re-
mit, conceiving it just that the Chamber should shield
with its protection, those exiles, who, seeking an
asylum abroad, respect the laws of the country which
receives them, since, especially, foreign governments
• 1 ) can have nothing to gain by accumulating needless
rigours upon men who only ask to enjoy the rights of
1 t ,
hospitality.
M. CORNET D'INCOURT opposed the Report, and
moved the Order of the Day, but upon being put to,
