below• the terms they could afford. few tenders were
made, and it does not appear that any were accepted.
One ship-owner proposed five shillings and sixpence
per head for men, women, children, and horses, whirls
of course was not agreed to, an offer from Dover
having been made to perform the service at a rate
' considerably cheaper.--. The following is an extract
of a letter on this subject from Margate :

" You may place implidt con.fuience in the report of an ar-
rangement for the bringing over our invincible legions at four
shillings and sixpence a man. Captain Isaac RIM, one of the
proprietors of the. Margate pockets, has had several conferences
with Government upon the subject ; and has actually entered
into an engagement to furnish the following fast-sailing vessels,
manned by competent *Amen, oamely:—The Duke of York,
Duke of Gloucester, Princess of Wales. Britannia, and Grand
Fawner. These yachts are to be in Calais harbour on the 45th
instant. Captain Raze returned here on Saturday, and yen's._
day he received a mandatory order, requiring lits attendance at
the Foreign Office without delay : he set off instantor. It is hid
he will receive his uhintorsun to-morrow. The owners of the
Majestic. Thames, and Victory, steam-boats, are also in treaty •
for the conveyance of troops at the same price."

The Paris Papers of Sunday arrived this morning'',

Count GEOROIS de CARAstert, who was the bearer
of the dispatches from the Duke of Meatus% sun-'
nouncing the consent Of the Allied Powers to the
evacuation of France, has received front the King the
decoration of Chevalier of the Legion of Honour.—
Count GEORGES is the son of the Marquis de CAaa-
MAN, Ambassador at Vienna, and first Secretary to
the French Embassy at London.
The Duke of &tons* has, as was annonnced, re-
sumed the command of the Royal Guard.
The Funds continue on the decline. On Sawa"
they left off at 751 r. 70c.

Some further letters from Madrid, but not of later
date than those last obtained, viz. the 4th instaitt,
mention that the Duke of SAN CARLOS, Ambassador
at London, was about to be withdrawn from that
Court, for the purpose of forming one of the new
Spanish Ministry.
In the mean time a notice has been promulgated
in the City, from his Excellency, that he will gua-
rantee the payment of freight to the owners of any
British vessels, who will engage in carrying troops
across the Atlantic, on the arrival of the ships at
some port of South America, not in possossion of the
Insurgents.

The guarantee offered by his Excellency is the
more necessary, that according to the last letters from
Cadiz, public csedir was never at a lower ebb. The
failure of the mercantile house of Trany and Com.-
pany has been (allowed by that of several other prin-
cipal houses, both at Cadiz and Madrid; the :most
distressing want of money is every where experi-
enced ;--..and the Government Obligations (yaks
royauz) are now refused to be taken in trade4say-
menu, at any price. A ,loan of 80 millions of molt
is affirmed to be absolutely necessary, in order to
meet the wants of the current service, and the expense
of the expedition fitting out fat America ; and the
rOspect.of raising §o large a sum, at a time of so
Much general embarrassment, is regarded as almost
hOpeless.
A number of American subjects who had served
in the Patriotic Armies, and who had been taken-pri-
soners with MINA, and have ever since been in con-
finement at the klavannab, were to have been lately
dispatched thence to Cadiz, in order to. be tried by
the European Spanish Authorities.

We have received to-day Papers froni Philadelphia,
to the 21th, from New. York to the 26th, and from
Boston to the 27th September.
The National Intelligencer corroborates the report
that the Spanish fort of St. Mart's will not be given
up but to a force competent to cold it. The reason
giver. for this is, that it is a military post, remote from
aay population, surrounded by hordes of desperate
Indians and Negroes, the only barrier against their
ravages and incursions; -and that to evacuate it on
the mere den:and of any Spanish Agent deputed to
receive, or to a fore: incompetent to hold it, would
be to evacuate it to the Indians: With respect to
Pensacola, on the other hand, that pest is said to
stand on a different footing. •
There are not 50 warriors," it is Said, 4, west of
'the App4lachicola; :did the poptilation of the frontier
is sufficient to keep them in awe- The population of
Pensacola alone is abundantly comvetent to preservi
it from falling into the hands of the Indians. That
post, therefore, will, be snntrufired, without condi-
tion, to any.Agelat of Spain !•duly authorised to
re-
ceive it."—Could there be any better conarneatary
-than this on the necessity of General JACKSON'S con-
duct in seizing on Pensacola?
It is affirmed in accounts from Savannah, of Sep-
tember 10th, that nearly 2000 Indians are now en-
camped in detached squadrons on the St. John's
river, for the purpose of waging war on the Ameri-
can frontier inhabitants, as Soon as they can make
the necessary preparations—such as procuring arms
and ammunition. They are soliciting aid, it is said,
from the Governor at St: Augustine ; but how far
they have succeeded is not known.

The Washington Papers mention that the Pans'.
DENT has interposed his good offices with the Spa-
nish Government for the liberation of Mr. D. Roam-
son, who was connected with Mnra'a expedition, and
is now confined as a prisoner in Havanaah ; but the
Philadelphia Aurora, apparently better informed,
states, that Mr. Rossasox was not connected with
MINA, a& has been reclaimed for reasons which

the following statement will explain t--" Mr. Ro-
sixsole, who is a native of Philadelphia, had en-
tered into commercial speculations, on the Isthmus
of Darien, and was returning thence by land to the
north coast, when a body of freebooters, whose oc-
cupation is the interception of travellers, overtook
and seized him and his property, and compelled him
to proceed with them : a body of the royal troops
who were in pursuit of those depredators, fell in
with them ; Mr. ROBINSON stood aloof from the con-
flict, and the freebooters being dispersed, he claimed
the protection of the Commanding Officer, and his
property; but the Royal Officer took a liking to his
property, as the Hessians were accustomed to do du-
ring our Revolution: every hog or ox they met, was
a rebel hog or ox, and Mr. Robinson's property was,
in the Royal vocabulary, rebel property was
necessary to the triumph of the Royal Officer, that
he should have some prisoners, and in the true legi-
timate style, he declared that Mr. R. was a rebel and
a Colonel, and that the money he had was the rebel
chest of the rebel army. Mr. Robinson, who threw
himself upon the Spanish honour for protection, found
himself to have mistaken the Spanish meaning of the
term, and foUnd himself a prisoner, confined to a
dungeon in the castle of St. Juan 'd'Ulloa"
Mr. Rostxsox is said to be not the only Ameri-
cait incarcerated by Spanish honour, notwithstandii.g
the amicable underitanding between the Spanish
gation and.the American Executive. The seizure of
Mr. Witcocts on the North Coast, another Citizen
of Philadelphia, with several of his comrades, after
saving a Spanish Colony from famine, is mentioned
as another example of Spanish honour and humanity..

Jamaica Papers have also arrived to-day to the 6th
ult. The bnly important fact which we observe-in
them is, that the Revolutionary Commodore AURY,
who was at Amelia, has taken possession of the
Islands of Old Providence and St. Catharine, in the
name of the Mexican Republic, and has garrisoned
the former with a body of 350 troops.

We mentioned a few days ago the successful at-
tempts which have been lately making by the Ame-
ricans to obtain a settlement in the Mediterranean.
We learn farther, from the advice: of to-day, that
the Franklin, of 74 guns, has been for some time past
in the 31editerranean with a view to further the object,
and that they Wave actually landed a part of her crew
at Pize, near Leghorn. The ground for this pro-
ceeding is stated to be the sickness of the men, but
they have proceeded so far as to erect a permanent
establishment, under the name of an hospital, at that
port.

The Docs or KENT Packet has arrived from
Lisbon in scrertclays, and brings letters and papers
from thence so late as the 10th instant. The former
'complain bitterly of the very impoverished state of
the country, in consequence of the enormous sums
required by the Court of Rio Janeiro for payment of
the forces which the KING feels it necessary to ern-1

ploy, to overawe all attempts at insurrection. For
this purpose the standing army has of late been con-
siderably augmented.—lt was not believed at Lisbon
that the differences subsisting between Spain and
Portugal had been arranged.
