Letters have been received from Madrid of the
90th at. and from Biscay of the 22d of the same
month. From these it appears, that all the fond ex-
pectations indulged by the Spaniards of the assistance
from some of the Allied Powers, for the reduction of
the revolted Colonies, have vanished, and the Mother
Country must depend entirely upon herself for the
maintenance of her power in South America. The
utmost endeavcurs were making to raise money for
the-Expedition preparing at Cadiz, for it was this
which was the real cause of its detention. The
number of vessels of war already collected at Cadiz;
amounted to six vessels of the rase of 74 guns each,
three frigates of 44 guns, and four of SO guns, seven
or eight corvettos, carrying 26 guns, and others of
less tonnage.
All the regiments to be embarktd on board these
vessels are collected on the Island of Leon, in the
little towns and villages near Cadiz, and also in the
neighbourhood of Seville and Cordova. The train
of artillery for the same purpose is extremely exten-
sive'r the arms and other implements of war in the
arsenals are very numerous; in short, it is said no-
thing is spared by FERDINAND to ensure success to
his last effort to overcome the Patriots.
Other letters from Cadiz mention. that as a relief
ur..ler the present exigencies, the Spanish Government
determined to carry into effect a loan 0f80,000,000
of riLls, or 850,0001. sterling, but in a very curious
inanacr. This Loan is portioned out and allotted to
the maritime towns, such as Cadiz, Alicant, Malaga,
Barcelona, St. Andre, Bilboa, &c. &c. where it is to
be raised in certain ratios. To Cadiz four millions
of rials, or 400,0001. have been assigned, and the rest
in proportion to their size and commercial importance.
, But it will be proper to convey some idea how
these Loans are raised in Spain, as our Readers may
then judge if that is the term to be applied to them.
An order comes down to the Cadiz Consulado, or
Board' of Trade, for example, purporting that a
Loan of four millions of rials must be effected in the
Oty, for a special purpose. The President convenes
the Merchants, and the order is laid before them.—
Warm debates take place, and the Council separates
without any thing being done. The Military Gover.
nor urges for the execution of the Royal Order, and
'a list of merchants is made out ; and, according to
their supposed wealth and traffic, a division of the
whole sum takes place among them. The amount
that falls on each is notified to him ; and woe to him
if he does not soon carry the money to the Governor.
So much for a Spanish Loan in the present day.
A steam-packet has been established between Se-
ville and St. Lucar and Cadiz.

It is reported that the French General Gotraostr*
was this morning arrested, by a warrant from the
Secretary of State, and the whole of his papers seized.
The arrest of the General is said to be in consequence'
of the late dispatches from St. Helena, respecting a
plot for the liberation of BovAPARTZ.

The Paris Papers of Wednesday arrived this
morning.
The Funds maintained on Tuesday the closing
price of the preceding day, 69 fr. 10 cents, the only
fluctuation being between that "price and 69 fr.
We learn from private accounts that a confident
expectation exists in the French money market that
the price will now gradually rise. The Allied
Powers have, as our Readers will see from the offi-
cial proceedings under the head of Aix-la-Chapelle,
agreed to the application made by the French Go-,
vernment for a prolongation of the time in which its
pecuniary obligations were to be finally discharged ;
and this application being grounded on the assump-
tion that the rapid exportation of specie, occasioned
by the rapidity with which the terms of the payment,
as originally fixed, followed each other, was the chief
cause of th€ late depression of the Funds, a corre•
sponding reaction may naturally enough be expected.
In the Protocol pi thexenferences on this subject
bet Ween the Allied Pleniptitentiaries and the Duke of
Rtcstestev, it is stated, `most truly, that a deprecia-
tion in the value of inscriptions of rentes must be

equally injurious to all the contracting parties—not
so much, we conceive, because the Allied Powers
have agreed to take part of their payments in renter,
but because the maintenance of the pu%lic credit of

'France is essential to the maintenance of its present
amicable relations with the rest of Europe.

The Monist-vs quotes a long article from the Nu-
remhergh Gezette, the object of which is to dispel the
fears which many people it Germany entertain, now
that France is about to resume her proper and power-
fal rank among the nations in Europe. Among a
variety of observations, which have no other demerit
than that they are too general to be fraught with
Winch meaning, we meet with one which possesses,
we think, a considerable degree of force, namely,
that the neighbouring example of a great nation like
France, united under a Representative Lonstitution,
must have a favourable effect in obtaining for the
Southern and Western Statespf Germany the advan;
tages of a similar system of Government, so often
promised, but still unfairly and impolitically with-
held from them.

Among the foreign notices in these papers, the
only one of any interest which we meet with is an'
article from Vienna, which states that letters have
been received from Buckarest, in Wallachia, an-
nouncing that the reigning Prince of that country,
'IRAN KA RATZA, had secretly eloped with his whole
family and Cont. This Prince hid acquired in Wal-
lachia an immense fortune in a very short time. He
became so powerful that he exiled many boyards of
the first rank who attempted to set bounds to his am-
bition. It appears certain that the GRAND SRIGNIOR
bad an intention of displacing the Prince in order to
possess himself of is treasures ; but the latter had
got warn;ng time enough to imitate the conduct of
his predecessor, Prince YPSILANTI. After the flight.
of KARATZA, a Provisionary Government •was esta-
blished, but great fears were entertained that the
event would be the occasion of fresh troubles.

We have received letters from Gibraltar to the 17th
October.—According to the latest intelligence re-
ceived there from Tangiers, the deaths at that place,
between the 2'2.d of September and Bth of October,
amounted to 181. The plague prevailed mere or less
in all the circumjacent villages. It had also extended
to the district of El Garb, in which a number of vil-
lages have been wholly depopulated ; and to Tetuam,
where the deaths are from ten to twelve daily. Fez-'
Larache and Flemuen were reported healthy ; and the
destructive distemper which prevailed at Mequinez,
was supposed to be merely a very virulent fever.--
The plague, however, still cbntinued its ravages at
Azda, and, according to advices from the Supreme
Magistracy of Health at Palermo, had broken out at
Tunis on the 28th of August last.

Halifax Papers to the 25th of October, and Bos-
ton to the 19th, arrived this morning :

An express was said to have reached London yes-1
terday from Paris, with a proposal to the monied in-'
of our Capital, which, if acceded to, is likely'
Ito produce a very unfavourable effect for a time on
the British Funds. The great scarcity of money at
Paris had created so much inconvenience to the ban-

MONTREAL, SEPTEMBER cc.
Arrived at the Mansion-house Hotel, I. Buchanan,
Esq. his Majesty's Consul at New York, who, we un-
derstand has been at York (Upper Canada), to meet
his Excellency Sir Peregrine Maitland, on the sub-
ject of receiving such British subjects as have landed
in the United States, and are desirous of obtaining
lands in Upper Canada. We are happy to learn that
Mr. Buchanan has succeeded in the objet of his jour-
ney. He has been assured by his Excellency, that
every facility will be promptly afforded to all his
Majesty's loyal and industrious subjects who may
wish to proceed to the Upper Province ; and that
large districts of the most favourably situated lands
will be imnaecliately surveyed,'for the accommoda-
tion of the vast numbers who are directing their steps
to those fruitful regions.
We are also informed, the delays which have hi-
therto attended the locating the Settlers, will be in

kers, merchants, and others at Paris, that they had
called, it is said, a meeting, when a resolution was
passed, stating the determination of these persons im.
mediately to make application to the monied interest in
London, on their own security, for a loan of 80,000,00 C '
of francs, or between £3,000,000 and £4,000,000',
stcrling. It is added further, that so great had been
the demand for money on the other side, that the
contractors to the former French Loan, have not yet
been able to complete the instalments which hare
bccome due on it.
