and conjectures will not be spared, meantime the
fact is as tollowst “ Some yowl Officers lately ca tie
cut w the Theatre, with weir heads rather warm,
and qu melted in the street with some of the citizens
who were quietly returning home. The ff was
going to beam& lesions, when an Officer 01 rank
passing accidentally 'hat way, came up to the Offi-
cers and inquired the subject of the quarrel. One ut
the ',mei pushed him viol idly. using abusive lan-
guage, the;. Lieutenant-General the Marquis de .14..

rash yi.olix man, and broke it to pieces. At this mo-

KING GS01011111:1 Catowatetam.—Holiklay at ah the Public

:This being the Anniversary of the Coronation of
their presetit Nansrlea, in 1761, the bells in Lon-
don and Westminc‘r rang a merry peal in the morn-
ing, at noon, and occasionally throughout the day.
It was also observed Ail a holiday at the Stock Ez-
change, the Public Offices, &c., and at; Weymouth
the Duke and Ductless of GeOUCEITEA are to give a
grand Regatta in commemoration of this event.

II we may credit letters which have been received
in town from Pernambuco, the integrity of the Bra-
zilian territories is once more endangeped. ,An in
surrectton t►f some magnitude is stated to have broken
“ut at Paraiba, the Capital of the most northern
Captaincy of the Brazils. A vessel, it appears, with
three thousand stand of arms and military stores,
which had been ordered by the insurgents of Pernam-
buco, had received notice, on their discomfiture, to
proceed to Paraiba, where a• number of them
.had
taken refuge ; and on its arrival there, she -was paid
in specie for her cargo, and the standard of rebellion
immediately hoisted.
F. •

According to advice. which have been received
titp Mrxico, the Insuigents..since the death of Mo.
&syn. and the defection of RYAW, exist only in the
form of guerilla parties. It was, however, repotted
at Vera Crux, about the latter end of June, that Mow
rec./ALLA, a man of great wealth and influence, had
raised the standard ut revolt, in,company with a dig-
nitary of the church, named Paulo, at a place called
Aunequat, some distance to the north-west of the city
of Mexico. The Spanish troops in New Spain were
estimated at 10.000 men :. at Vera Crux, the people
eithervere. or pretended to be, ignorant of the ope-
t4tiont of MINA. On the 3d of June, the Insurgent
General Vierostui still held the Fort of Palmii, about
SO miles south-west of Vera Crow, whirh he de-
fended with 450 men against 2,000 of the Royalists,
who had been then besieging it some weeks.
The Island of Margaritas is also stated to be now
entirely in possession of the Royalists, who with a
force of 6000 men, are represented as preparing to
commence operations against the Insurgents on an
extensive scale.

Jamaica Papers have arrived to the 31st of July.
The most important article they contain, is a tom-
plaint, which we conceive not a little unreasonable,
against a law which the Legi►lature of that island has
passed for enforting regular returns of the Slave Po-
pulation, It is said that the task of making the re-
turns is so difficult, that even, with every precaution,
a 'fase years will throw the whole into inextricable
confusion, from the many inereated difficulties of
such an arduous and endless measure. In what the
difficulty consists, however, we are not exactly told,
nor are we able of ourselves to di►ine. It must be a
mere trifle, we feel well assured, to the returns which
almost every body in England, except mere paupers,
is compelled to make under the Acts imposing the
Assessed Taxes. 4, A few years," it is said, it will
throw the whole into inextricable confusion." It it
does, we can only.say it must be from a gross negli.
Bence on the part.of the island authorities, and will
certair ly prove, beyond all dispute, the necessity of
an interference on the part of a Government at home
whiCh notbe trifled with, and in whose eyes the
rights of a slave are as sacred as those of a free man.

A Flanders Mail arri►ed last night ; from the
Journals brought by which, to the 18th inst. we ha►e
gi►en some extracts in another part of ocr Paper,
which do not, howe►er, require any partici:lAT notice.

A series of German Papers has also come to hand,
but bring nothing additional of importance, if we
except a long article in the Gazette of Mayence, "on
the State of the Cnnunittee of Liquidation for the
Claims upon France." The Commencement and the
end of this important piece will suffice to give our
Readers an idea of its whole contents; they are as
follow : •

11 The French Government has shewn, for some
months put, very clearly, that it is not its intention
to discharge towards its foreign creditors the obliga-
tiuns• which were imposed upon it, by the Treaty of
Pais and the Convention of the 20th Nov. 1815.
•, Every thing is interpreted in favour of France,
in order to invalidate three-fourths of the claims of
the Allies,, by the aid of general principles, falsely
assumed ; it is said, for example, that they alledge

iertMlMMinfinrW nirliiiir(ditkaste) of the 1
ex-Emperor, of February 1808, in regard to all
the claims coming from the countries hitherto united
to France, and that they demonstrate that all those
.which are anterior to the said Decree, are extin-
guished and inadmissible in the liquidation. This
Deese', w hich is not binding even for France, Wean*,
contrary to the Constitution, it was neither approved
nor promulgated as a law by the Constitutional Au-
thorities, is the cause that all the claims dated before
that epoch have noC been liquidated. •
N -It is true this arbitrary proceeding of the Freach
GovernMent is still the subject of diplomatic Dego-
citations; but in the mean time, the liqUidation of
all the claims of this nature remain suspended, and
will probab'y for ever remain so, because the affair
regarding only private creditors, it is likely that no
energetic measure will be taken. • • • •
The Treaties of Peace of 1814 and 1815, make hi.
(hello almost the only indemnity of the people, who,
in the time of danger, sacrificed every thing to
strengthen the thrones of their Princes, and forced
France, at the price of their blood, to accede to these
Treaties. If we reflect for the rest, that the loss of
these just claims ( which in the countries previously
subject to the French dominion, would in all proba-
bility have been satibfied in the Case of a prolonga-
tion) falls, in a great measure, on the middling class,
who are already sufficiently ezhaus,ed, it would be
very deplorable if our good-natured diplomacy should
fall int,. a new snare laid by French cunning, to the
detriment of German citizens."

Since our last we have received the Park Papers
of the 18th and 19th. The following are extucts s

PARIS, SEPTEMBER is.

Yesterday his Majesty received a visit from the
Duke, the Duchess, and Mademoiselle d'Orleans.

Paris, has prohibited all the persons comprised in the
Royal Ordinance of the 24th of July, in. the same

Oae Raphael Tritaldi, had been condemned to be
hanged; and two of his principal accomplices to be
imprisoned, the one for life. and the other for 25
years, in a State Prison. Different punishments of
imprisonment and pubic labour had been pronounced
against the other prisoners, among whom was one
woman condemned to two years' imprisonment in a
Wm* of Correction. The judgment received the
approbation of his Royal Highness the Viceroy ;
