We announced yesterday that his Royal Highness
the PRINCE REGENT bad ordered £3OOO to be issued
to the Association for the Relief of the Poor in Spital-
fields and its vicinity. The following is the commu-
nication which was sent on this occasion :

" WHITZUALL, NOV EIA It t 27, 1816.
" Lord LtvserooL, Lord SIDMOU I it, and toe Cu.s NC k: LLOR
of the Excuriautß, have the satisfact Mr, to actittaint Mr. IiONY •
MAN and Mr. BUXTON, that the INCX RE(ILN .1 will be gra-
ciously pit-astd to give directions that the Sum of Five Thousand
Pounds should be issue..l to the Associarton for the itelief of the
Poor in Spitalfitids and us vicinity, at the rate of one thousand
peuods a fortnight, out et Wilds at I the t..sposa_ of his MAJ E S*l V."
4"l'he funds at the disposal of his MAJESTY,"
from which this issue has been ordered to be made,
are, we doubt not, the Droits of Admiralty. It is
sun* some time since such an appropriation tif these
funds was recommeodtel in the bran ; nor would it
be easy to point out any better use for them than
their application to lessen tile distresses of the nation.
This donation will be productive of the most be.
nefici ti results. It will serve as an example to
stimulate those who derive their chief incline from
Taxes levied on the people, and to induce an effort
on their part, by frugality and economy, to lessen
their expenses, that they may be enabled to contribute
to the relief so much needed by many of those who
are taxed for their support : and at tie same time
will give a practical contradiction to the false, and
We may add, cruel, statements made to the lower
orders, by those 'demagogues who would clamour
themselves into notice and consequence by unmeaning
and useless declamations, while they themselves,
tender hearted creatures, will bestow only a tear for
their relief.

- The Common Council of yesterday was nume-
rously attended. The • full Report which we have
given of the proceedings renders any particular notice
of them in this place unnecessary. We were happy
to observe, that on all sides the indiscretion of those
clamorous dem:lopes who endeavour to take ad-
vantage of the distress under which the country suffers,
to inflame the minds of the ignorant and render them
disaffected, was scouted and reprobated.

Accounts were yesterday received from Cadiz to
the 9th instant, and from Bilboa and Corunna to
still more recent dates. The South American pri-
vateers are represented as committing great ravages
on the whole coast. I'en more vessels have been cap-
tured near Cadiz, and such is the state of the Royal
Spanish Navy and Treasury, that not a vessel of war
is ready to protect the trade, much less to revenge
the insults on the national sag. Several vessels loaded
and loading in Cadia, bound to Vera Cruz, Havan-
nah; &c. have been waiting for convoy, and the Go-
vernment has at length consented to grant the frigate
Sabina, for the use of the merchants, but they have
to caulk, victual, and navigate her at their own ex•
pense. The greatest fears were entertained fur a
vessel from Vera Cruz with half a million of dollars
on board : she had been missing for several weeks.
The late prohibitory measure of is our Beloved
FEUDINAND" against our Commerce, will prove more
vexatious and injurious tharfiss at first expected..—

Besides British Cotton Goods, ft • now appears that
Ili East India Cott2rio are also comprehended in the
order, such as tankeens, &c. of which a large quan-
tity bad been shipped to Spain from this country,
and most exorbitaK duties paid upon them. The
entire monopoly of supplying Spain having been
granted to the Philipino Company, who receive their
stock irom Manilla, the above description of mer-
chandise is rendered of no value, since sales cannot
be effected within the time prefixed, and the mono-
polists will not purchase theta, not to interfere with
their own privileged supplies.

Yesterdily the Earl of laviopoot. had a long au-
dience of the PRItiCE REatur at Carlton House.—
Cou,ut boluNsTaa. the Hantiv,erian Minister, had also
ia audience of his Royal Hithucu.

Fltft)lVeyEßS.
We have received? t(se,Paris Papers or Tuesday.
They contain nothing of interest from either of AO
ditembers. Some priltate letters from Paris, received
a few days ago, mentioned riots and disturbances as
having taken place at Rouen. There was probably
son;ie mistake in this, although there has been a serious .
fire at the house of correction there, containing 600
perssns: we are unable, however, to say whether the
tire was wilful or not. The French Journals, be it
always remembered, never speak out on such subjects ,
until all the Journals of Europe make known the
occurrences from other sources.
Generals DECAEN and SAVANT are about to be
tried capitally for the rebellion of 1815—the former
is in custody, the latter is in Egypt. The punish-
ment of the former, be his guilt what it may, will be
regarded, at this distant period, as an uncalled-for
act of cruelty; and we trust that our indignation will
not be excited by recording it. The character of
DECAEN, however, can never be highly estimated s it
was be who wantonly and barbarously detained poor
Captain FidaDetts as a prisoner at the Isle of France,
where he died of consumption, brought on by chagrin
and disappointment. FLINDERS had been employed
on a voyage of discovery, and the flag of his little
bark (the Investigator) was respected on that account
by all nations with whom we were at war, until he
tell under the merciless fangs of Monsieur DECAEN,
who tried to rob him of the glory of his discoveries,
and Humanity of the benefit of them. Phis DECAEN
was also cue of the worthies who swore allegiance to
Louis XVIII. and next day took a similar oath to
BON APARTE.

The Cour Royale, or French Court of King's Bench,
was occupied nine hours opt Monday in hearing the
pleadings in a cause which originated out of one of
the last acts of BONAPARTIet administration after the
battle of Vsraterloo : on the arrival of the fugitive in
he laid his hands on 710,000 francs (about
.c 30,000) •Altich was in the hands of the Treasurer
of the Civil List as part of the proceeds of the sale of
iritional property. It appears that BONAPARTE, or
sonic of his family, immediately purchased Wits en
London to this amount, drawn on the House of
BARANDON and Co. The existing French Gi,vern-1
ment have brought actions against the Public Trea-
surer and IMEANDON and Co. for the recovery of this
mcney. One decision of an Inferior Court has been
already given in favour. of the Defendants, and
the Cour Royale now takes it up on an appeal in be.
hall of the French Government. The case will be
argued again on the Vci of December.
