s Notting has transpired resipetting the,subjects for
whiefrdscf-abinet Cwinci fiatminoned, the
arrival of the Duke of Wet.thiarcot. The general
belief is, as we stated before, that the French Go-
-tertiment, unable to raise a loan, finds it impossible,
to continue the regular payment of the contributions,
and has asked for delay—some say, to be allowed
eight in place of five years, to pay the stipulated
'amount. It is also rumoured -that they requested a
part of" the Army of Occupation to be withdrawn.
Nothing, however, is positively known, but only that
it was neither pleasure nor athusement that brought
Isis Grace to London, but business of importance.
The-Dose having left London en Saturday, as we
intimated in our last, for the purpose of waiting on
the Prusca agouti., reached Brighton the same
eveiking at six o'clock. He was accompanied by his
Aid.de-Camp, Colonel FREMANTLE, and by the
Spanish Ambassador, General ALVA. On reaching
the Pavilion he was received by Sir B. BLootarist.n,
and shortly afterwards had a most gracious reception
From the PRINCE REGENT, with whom he had a pri-
vate audience, which continued tor seine time.
. The Duke of WELLINGTON, General At.va, the
Spanish Ambassador, Colonel FREMANTLE, Mar-
quis of SALIsBURY, Count MUNSTER, Count HARDEN-
szao, it'd several Noblemen, dined with the PRINCE
REGENT. _ _

In the evening a numerous assemblage of conz:
patsy were invited to meet the Illustrious guests at
the Pavilion, including the Officers of the 10th Royal
Hussars and the 51st Regiment of Light Infantry,
General Sir • DAVID BAIRD, Colonel PaactvAL, and
seve;al distinguished Military Gentlemen, besides the
families who had previously the honour of joining
the concert and conversation parties at the pavilion.

It was thought that his Gaavg would proceed to
Paris direct from Brighton by Dieppe, but the face
proved otherwise. Yesterday morning at seven
o'clock the Duxe left Brighton for Daver, where be
intended to embark the same evening for Calais.
He was accompanied by the same Gentlemen who
attended him from London to Brighton.

New-York Papers to the 4th instant reached es
this morning. Though they have not brought the
PRILSIDENT'S SpLech on the opening of the Session of
Congress, which was to be delivered en the 3&I, their
contents possess considerable interest. The following
are extracts

delivered his letters of credence, as Minister Plenipo-
tentiary .4 his Most Faithful Majesty the King of Pori

The second Session of the 14th Congress com-
mences in this city on Monday next, being the first
Monday in December. Already the Members begin
to arrive at the seat of Government.
As this Session must terminate on the 3d day of
next March, it will necessarily be a very short one ;
but it will therefore be more than usually interesting,
since business will proceed with more spirit i and the
minds of the members, as well as the attention of
the public, be less relaxed than at the close of a long
Session.
It is not easy to say wl:at subjects will obtain the
attention of Congress, though many may be.enume-
rated, that will present themselves for their conside-
ration. It does not at this moment strike us, that
our relations with any foreign Power are in such a
state as to be necessarily brought into discus:km.—
The trivial misunderstanding with Russia is so cer-
tain of being adjusted, when brought in a correct
light before her enlightened sovereign, that it is not
probable Congress will have occasion to act on it.
—Mir is it any more probable, we trust, that the.
reported French Minister will be suffered to violate
the peace between the two nations, who have at pre-
sent no real cause fir enmity, and whose Govern-
ments will not suffer an imaginary one to disturb
their tranquillity. Of the present state of oar rela-
tions with Spain, we are not advised, but as. tussles,

• The objects of a dorm& nature which offertheta-
selves to the conlideration of Congress are numerous
and important. First, in the public ♦iew, though
far from orstin importance of all these, is the act of
the last Congress,wbich prescribes the mode in which
Members. of Cobg►eseslrall b compensated. that Act
will doubtless itie repeated, in obedience to the public
will, . almost unanimously expressed, sod in ►ieu
thereof an increased (per diem) compensation will be
established.
The nett question in' the public eye; is the expe-
diency of continuing for a longer time the direct tax,
which by the law of the last Sesaioin was limited to
the present year.
The passage of a Navigation Act, the establish-
ment of a National University, the extension of the.
Military Academy, the establishment of a corps of
Invalids, the classification and organization of the
Militia, the important question respecting the expe-
diency of employing a part of the National Funds in
making Roads and Canals--these; and many other
great questions, must pan under review daring the
ensuing Session, and as many of them be finally acted'
on as time will permit.
A glance over the wide field before them, is see-.
cient to :hew that the time of Congress would be
fully employed for a much longer Session than that
which is at hand. Let us hope that the Session TM-
be productive of as much benefit to the country. as
the adeptiiin of the wiiest measures can ensure.
FROM THE NEW-YORE GAZETTE, GICIIMBIR 4.
We learn from Captain Porten, of the United States
brig of war Boxer, that his Britannic Majesty's b►ig
Briseis, on her passage from Jamaica to Nassau,
(N. P.) was wrecked on the night of the 4th Novem-
ber last, on Point Pedro; the Captain, Officers, and
crew were safe ; and it was expected that most of her
armament would also be saved.

Extract of a Letter from Captain George Dorsett,
of his Britannic Majesty's sloop of war Briseis, dated
Point Pedro, November 8: _ _

knowledgements to Captain Porter, for his very ready
and prompt offers of assistance, but having succeeded
in getting all his people from the wreck, he is deter-

ST. BARTHOLOMEW'S, NOVEMBER 11.
Accounts were received a few days since, via St.
Thomas, stating, that a severe engagement was
fought on the 28th of October, on the plains of Bar-
celona. sit miles distant from the town, between the
Royal and Patriot armies. Sir Gregory M,Gregor
komrnanded on the part of the Patriots, and General
Morales for the Royalists. The forces were about
equal, 7,000 strong. M•Gregor succeeded in taking
2,500 prisoner'', and killing eight to 900, and got
possession of the town. General Morales had escaped
into the mountains,.leaving behind him his horse,
baggage, &c.
The Patriots were in possession of several other
ports of the Main. Their 'fleet was said to be at
Margaretta. The Patriot privateers are cruising in
great numbers between St. Thomas and Porto Rico. '
Several American and English vessels have been
boardeg by them, and treated with the greatest po-
liteness. They have recently captured several Spanish
vessels with valuable cargos.

By gse Fair American, arrived this morning from
St. Thomas, we have received the following impor-

FUNERAL Pnocestuota..—A few minutes before the
arrival of the Duke of Wauaucrron at Brighton, on
Saturday, the corpse of Lieutenant-Colonel Sir
HENRY BRADFORD, of the First Grenadier Guards,
and Assistant-Quarter-Master-General of the British
Army in France, were carried into the town, escorted
by the 51st regiment of Light Infantry. This gallant
and distinguished Officer died at Lillers, ja the can-
tonments of his brother's brigade, Major-General Sir
T. BRADFORD, on the 17th inst. after a short illness.
His remains were brought to England, to be interred
ip the family mausoleum at Storriagton, Sussex.—
The body was landed at Dover, and the mournful
procession was met at the entrance to Brighton by
the 51st Regiment of Light Infantry, with their mi-
litary band and bugles, drums muffled, &c. playing
solemn dirges. The Regiment marched at a slow
pace, and conveyed the body to the Castle Tavern,
where it was deposited for the night. The Regiment
formed two open lines, and presented arms as the
hearse passed. The Officers of the 10th Royal
Hussars, and several military characters, followed as
mourners. Major-General Sir THOMAS BRADFORD
and Major Rams, brother-in-law to the deceased,'
accompanied in a mourning coach. Lieutenaot-Coil
lonel BRADFORD was in the 3k year of his age, and'
as an Officer he was universally beloved by the whole
army, and sincerely respected by the Duke of Was-
LINOTON, whose friendship he enjoyed throughout
the arduous campaigns in the Peninsula and From.
He was distinguished for gallant exploits and cou-
rage in the battles of Salamanca, Vittoria, Pampe.

morning the body was removed for interment at
Storriagton. and the same military honours wore
paid in conducting the procession out of Brightest, as
the preceding evening. Macaw. and the
Colonel of the 10th Hussars followed the corpse.

Slit GREGOR M'GREGOR.

Sir GREGoIt M.Gaxclort, who has recently so distin-
guished himself in tne cause of South American
Independencl, is the representative of a respectable
and ancient Scotch Family. He served As Captain
with the British army in Spain, became Colonel in
the Spanish service, had a Spanish order of Knight-
hood conferred upon him, and was allowed by the
Pais RitaaNT to assume the tit'e in this country.
In Spain he fought to free a patriotic people from a
tyrannical usurpation ; but when he saw the belosed
Monarch, whom his courage had assisted to reuore
to the Spanish throne, reward the friends of liberty
with dungeons and death. he indignantly resolved to
join the party in 'America, who are endeavouring to
emancipate themselves from the oppressions of the
mother country.
From Scotland he set out on his chivalrous expedi-
tion with a retinue in every respect suited to a Chief-
tain's state: Sir GRUM, to considerable talent, and per-
haps more enthusiasm, adds rather superior literary
attainments; and among his camp equipments has
not forgotten to include a library of the most choice
and valuable books.

Whatever turn affairs may take in South America,
it must always be a proud consideration for Scotland
that Americans fought for liberty under the banner
of a Scottish Chieftain.

By advices received from India, we learn that the
camp of Rum= SINGH continued on the bank of the
river Numoor, but that Chieftain had returned to L.
bore. The fort and country of Nhatimoon Kors had
been taken possession of by two of his principal Offi-
eers. The fort of Noorpoor was occupied by Rajah
BEAR SINGH. RUN.ISILT Simi had detectca a tlea-
amiable correspondence between the Nabob of Mote
'num acid ARUN= KHAN, of Chok, and had .laced
the latter in confinement, and confiscated his property.
By the Jaypore Ukbars, we learn, that AM Eta KHAN
had burnt and plundered the villages of Govidpoor,
Jetwarrah, and the other villages dependant on Jay.
pore ; rind that Jusnuirsa KHAN witlitis dtt4chment
had encamped at Joysingpore, distant only six cuss
from the capital. The 'Rajah, pressed with the dan-1
er, had employed a great naniner of workmen to
anErease the outworks and deepen the ditch of the city.
Rajah Lou. SINGH had moved to form a junction with
Assert KHAN, and the latter, when the. Ukbar was,
dispatched, was encamped on the bank of the River
Yandee, within(eight toss of the Jappore capital.
The troops under Colonel DovaruN, had been or-
dered to hold themselves in readiness to march. Their
destination, it is supposed, will be Nagpoor, in con.
sequence of stipurations concludtd in the late treaty
with that Government.
The Resident at the Nepaulese Court, the Hun.
E. GARDINER, arrived at Gorruckpore, on the Sd of
Jute. It was expected that he would reach Khat-
mandol about the end of the month. His escort con-
sisted of a,comp +ay of Native troops, and the escort
to be perommusli attacbed.to the Residency would
be three Officers and about 200 men.
