AMERICAN PAPERS.

Fit= Mexico.— Mexican Papers to the 20th of
November, and Vera Cruz Papers to the 4th of Dec.
are received by the Eliza, Captain Bukup.
The Spaniards, it appears, can hardly expect to be
longer tolerated in Mexico. Several of the Legislatures
of the States have recently passed Resolutions for their
expulsion—some demanding the banishment of them
all, others of the unmarried, and those who have not
long lived in the country. At Oaxaca,
hlicoachan, &c. the demands are the same. At Vera
Crux. on the Ist of December, there was a popular com•
motion excited against the Spaniards, but without any
act of violence or impropriety. The whole town ap-
pears to have been for a time in confusion. The Muni-
cipality assembled, and passed an Act fully accordant
with the public voice ; after which the inhabitants to
tiled peaceably to their houses.
In Acapulco, and part of Valladolid, disturbances
are spoken of ; but a letter from Tialpam, of Nov. 20,
says, the whole southern coast is perfectly quiet.
Commodore Porter advertises that he has on hand
several licenses for those who may wish to arm private
vessels against the Spaniards.
He also gives a public notice, dated on board the fri-
ate Libertad, Noit.l6th, that, in conformity with the
laws, every vessel on beard of which enemy's property
is found, will be taken to Vete Ctuz for adjudication.
The same course will be pursued with every vessel con
laining\ contraband articles of w ar,coortar sscannon, inns•
loots, pistols or other fire arm., swurds, bayonets, gun•
frowderAc.alsn ship timber,cor dage,and all articles used
in equipping ships of a ar,arming aad clothing troopsotc.
and in general all things used in wee by land or sea.
The Supreme Congress have agreed, its both Chant
bets. to authorise contracting for a luau of four millions.
'lh- Treaty between the United State of Mexico and
the King of Great Brit tin. signed and sealed in London
last year by the Plettirtentiaiies, was published by
a ithowity on the 21st ot N ivember.
Accounts from Central America to the sth of Nov.
state, that a band of 400 of the insurgel is in that county y,
who were on the way to invade the province of Hon-
duras, bad been overthrown.
Maxrco.—lt appears by the news under the Mexican
head. that Commodore Porter contemplates executing
his doges to his new country with a high hand. All
vessels with Spanish property ate to be captured and
sent into Vera Cruz for adjudication. Has the Com-
modore so soon forgotten the battles he has fought,
before in a fit of rage he transferred his allegiance. in
vindication of the Aoneric m doctrine, that "free ships
snake free goods"—that " the flog protects the cargo r
We would advise the Mexican Admiral to be a little
cautious how he meddles with matters and things be-
neath the stars and stripes. As to his invitation for
Americans to turn half pirates in the shape of Mexican
privateers, he will probably be more successful than
we could wish.—Cononercial Advertiser.
Faom Tax PLATA.—The Delaware Weekly Adver-
tiser contains intelligence from Buenos Ayres to the 4th
of September t
The Government of that province, understanding
that the small vessels that cruise in the River Plata, not
only against the commerce of the country, but also
against the Bag of , friendly and neutral nations, have
decreed, that no ptivateer licenses shall hereafter be
_granted to any vestal smaller than 25 tons; and that
-those licenses now *t for vessels of less tonnage shall
be returned—those„ within the line N.E., from Point
Lara to Montevide4 within thirty days; those without
the line, mentionedin the preceding paragraph, 60 days.
The securities &fen shall be held responsible. for the
fulfilment of the preceding article, and those who shah
.not present themselves within the time fixed, shall be
judged with all the tigour of the laws, according to the
greater or less culpabWay that shall appear in the delay.
The province of Cordova determined, on the 24th col
July, to suspend the consideration of affairs pending
between it and Buenos Ayres for the present, on condi-
tion that the latter would return to its former condition
of a province, and consent to hold a Congress in Sep-
tember, at the place which was to be chosen by all the
ptovinces.—Neto York Dail/ Advertiser.
Psay.—Our Charleston Correspondent:have receiv
ed advice. from Lima to the 27th of August. Gen.
Max had arrived at Lima on the 19th August, in
the Peruvian brig of war Congressa, from Guayaquil.
and was on the 24th inaugurated President of Peru.—
t reat rejoicings took place on the occasiunv—Franklin
Gersolter.
Noaru EASTERN BM:MCA RY.—Mr.Davies, the mes-
senger sent by the Governor of Maine to New Bruns-
wick, on the subject of the disturbances at Madawaska,
has been well received at St. John's' with marks ot
attention He has not, however. been recognised in an
official capacity, as the question is one between the two
Diuvernments.—New York Deily Advertiser.
DIQNTREAL, Dec. 19.
Yesterday a Meeting of the Canadian parry eru held

in a stole belonging la Mr. Quesnel. The object of the'
meeting, we underssiTd, was to proent an Address t"
the Throne, praying the removal of his Excellency the
earl pf Dalhonsie from the office of Governor• in-Chief,
of kitislOsiklorth America. Twenty-one Resolutions,
and .40 Adagio to his Majesty, founded thereon, were
eatried. The 'Meeting, in the opinion of our informant,
might consist of 250 persons, who, with twenty or thirty
exceptions, were of the same class with those who com-
mitted the assault on the voters at the last election.—
The Resolutions and Address were read in English, by
Mr. Waller ; but the Canadians kept up such an in-
cessant noise, that very few words could be heard.

Our readers are pretty well aware that the Grand
Jury, at the Court of Oyer and Terminer, found bills
against Jocelyn Waller, Editor, and Ludgar lluvernay,
printer of the Cassadiaa Spectator, for alleged libels
printed in that Journal against the Executive Govern-
ment df that province. We regret to state that this
circumstance has not taught the former Gentleman tem-
' perance, sit, since that period, his pages have teemed
with articles of increased bitterness. The consequence
has been, that yesterday a warrant for another libel
was executed upon him, and he was, along with the
printer, brought before the Court of Weekly Sessions,
where Samuel Gale, Esquire; presided.
_ _ _

- _
On entering the Court, Mr. Waller complained that the
constable had compelled him to come thither, refusing
to go with him to any other Magistrate than the one
who granted the warrant. Mr. Gale then informed
Mr. Waller that the officer had acted by h's directions,
He (Mr. Gale) had received special instructions with
regard to the mode in which bail was to be accepted;
and from the aggravated character of the libel, he
said he could not feel it to be his duty to discharge him,
unless he entered into security, himself in 5001 and two
sureties in 2501. each, to appear before the Court of King's
Bench, at the Crimin3l Term, on the Ist March next, to
answer to the charges to be brought against him; and
also that the said sureties were to be hound for his good
behaviour until that period. Mr.Vs'aller, we unsierstand,
objected strongly to the latter part of the terms of
surety, contending that as he was not convicted of any
crime, no one had any right to make him find security
for his good behaviour. His objections were overruled,
when Mr. Roy, Advoc rte, and Mr. Demnuchelle, took
the oaths. and subscribed the necessary bonds on his
behalf. For Mr. Duvernay, Messrs. De Bleury and
Demouchelle came forward as sureies.. In this stage

of the business we do sot think it would be proper to
make any rematk upon the affair. We cannot, however,
avoid expressing regret, that a Gentleman of such ac-
knowledged talent as Mr. Waller should act in such a
manner as to place himself in so disagreeable a situa-
tion.

The Editor of a Halifax Paper, in reference to the
report in a London Paper, that the Ein of Dalhousie
was to be recalled from the Government of Canada,
says—We trust the news may be correct, as to the recal
of Lord Dalhousie; and we doubt not that it will be
;)ailed with pleasure by the majority of the Canadian
people, as the surest method of restoring quiet in the
country. We see much reason to regret the pertina.
cious adherence of his Lordship to ilk refusal of the
Speaker appointed by the House (especially as his right
is questionable), if, as the Antra Scotian remarks, he
could ae have instantly laid before the House a series of
instructions from the y, in which the most liberal
concessions have beensmade to their pretensions, and a
compromise offered which the s:aunchest patriot would
scarce have condemned or rejected:' It was scarcely
worth his Excellency's trouble to do an act, under those
circumstances, which, even by the clearest precedents,
he must have been aware would set in array against
him the whole host of Canadian opposition, and excite
to a tenfold degree the popular prejudice against him.
In the government of Cana.la, we tear, his Excellency
has not followed the dictates of his own judgment,
which must have stet ed him clear of trouble, but has
rather been directed by those interested by political or
pecuniary motives to mislead him in his government.
BUENOS AYRES, Sm. 4.
PRIVATURS.—N twithstanding the Government
having taken every precaution to repress the abuses
which might result from the privateers authorised to
cruise in defence of the honour and independence of
the republic, the authori ies have been informed of ex-
cesses committed by the small vessels that cruise in the
River Plate, not only against the commerce of the coun-
try, but also against the lag of friendly and n utral
nations. In con equence, with the object of ptiveAting
Ithese esils, and giving at the same time a greater
giUIUS to the vessels of the national squadron operating
in the river, the Governor and Captain General of the
Province of lluenes Ayres, charged by the law of the
27th August last, of the Honourable Sala of Repre-
sentatives, with the direction of war, has decteed :
Ai ticle 1. No privateer license shell in future be
granted for any vessel measuring less than '25 tons.
2. Every individual who may have received a prii,
vateer license for vessels of leas tonnage than is expressed
in the preceding article, shall return it to the Ministt y
of the Marine within the following time from the date
'of this Decree :-11-t, Those now in the ports of this
province, within fifteen days. 2J, Those within the
line North East Itom Point Lara to Montevideo, within
30 days. 3d, Those %idiom the line mentioned in the
preceding paragraphs within 60 days.
3. The Committee shall be held responsible for the
fulfilment of the preceding article; and those who shall
not present themselves within the time fixed shall be
judged with all the rigour of the laws, according to the
greater or lesser culpability that shall appear in the delay.
4. The Minister Secretary of War and Marine is
charged with the execution of this decree ; communi-
cating it to all whom it may concern, kr.

July and 2J October of last year, especially with regard

" 2. The Province of Cordova abstains for the pre-
sent from treating of the events recently occurred at
Buenos Ayres, the law of the 3d of July, and the es-
tablishment of the Provisional National Executive, until

CobiIISSCIALLT IsrPostranw.—The Editor of the

extract of a letter, dated Rio Janeiro, Oct. 27, 1827 :
" The Cortes have passed a law, which has received
the Imperial sanction, placing the daties on imports from
all MOUS at 15 per cent. without regard to matins"

Yesterday Lord SruAlrT DR Rol-Harr and Mr
HUSKISSON had a long interview with the Duke of
WELLINGTON, at the Commander-in•Chiers Office in
the Horse Guards; and it is rumoured that Lord STUART
is to proceed shortly to Constantinople, on a mission of
great importance.
This day, day, at two o'clock, the first Cabinet Council of
the present Ministry was held at the Foreign Office, in
Downing-street, and was attended by—
The LORD CHANCELLOR,
Earl BATHURST,
Lord Viscount MeLsrmcs,
Lord ELLRNIOROUOII,
Earl DUDLEY,
The Earl of SERDIZEN,
The Right Hon. R. PEEL, &c. &c.
The Council continued in deliberation for a consi-
derable time.

We received last night the Monitear and other Paris
Papers of Monday, extracts from which appear in out
preceding columns. The Gazette de France was not
published on account of the anniversary of the death of
Lows XVL The official part of the Aloniteur contains
a Royal Ordinance, determining the functions of the
Minister for the affairs of Commerce and Manufactures
appointed on the 4th of the present month.
The Constitutionnet rules, that under the influence
of the Jesuits, and with tUe countenance of the authori-
ties, the most brutifying tales of superstition and lam'-
, icism are [minted and circulated in the provinces of
France. One of the ridiculous narratives to which it
alludes, details the fate of a blaspheming baker, and in
another we are told of the discovery of a miraculous
image, which will be a permanent source of ecclesias-
tical revenue.

Accounts from Spain chew that the Carlists are not
yet Wholly subdued in Catalonia; and even intimate
that they lately obtained some advantages over the
Royal troops.

By the G-rman Mail we have received the Algente;ne
Zeilung to the 18th, and Nurem6urg Correspondent to
the 16th inst. It appeals by an article in the former,
under the head of Trie,te. that Mr. S. CANNING had
arrived at Corfu from Vowla, to which place he had
proceeded in company with the French Ambassador,
on their departure from Constantinople.
The preparations for war on the part of Russia, do
not appear to be confined to the Army. In the Black
Sea the Naval department is also in great activity,
floating batteries and pontoons are arriving b the
Danube, towed by steam-boats, and a number of ships
of war have been sent to the same place.
These Papers contain the Circular Note of Count
Nes:metope, addressed to the Powers of Europe, re-
lative to the affairs of Turkey, the substance of which
has been given, through the medium of the Foreign
Journals, sou time since. The following are extracts:
