We request the attention of our Readers to a letter
on the affairs of Upper Canada, which they will find
in our preceding columns, under the signature of
" Canadiensis." We are obliged to our intelligent
Correspondent for putting us right in some particu-
lars of which we had been only partially informed,
as to the distracted state of that Province; and feel
muck pleasure in being able to remedy the deficiency
of our intelligence, by the very distinct, luminous,
and complete exposition which his letter contains of
the grievances complained of by this important part
of our colonial possessions.

The Paris Papers of Saturday arrived this forer.oor, :

The Moniteur gives, in its unofficial part, a copy
of the Convention concluded with the Allied Powers
for the Occupation of France. It is an e-cact tran-
script of the copy already published in this country ;
but, instead of one Treaty, to which all the Pleni-
potentiaries were parties, it appears that there were
four separate Treaties, all of the same tenor, signed
on the same day, at the same place, and at thc same
moment, between France on the one hand, and Aus-
tria, Great Britain, Prussia and Russia, on the other.
The Duke of WELLtaoros and Lord Casrttaraton
signed as the Plenipotentiaries for Great Britain.
It is announced, in a demi-official manner, to be
the intention of the French Ministry to present, in
the ensuing session of the Legislature, a project of law
on the composition of Juries. All Electors arc to be
Jurymen of right ; so that there will be about one
hundred thousand Jurymen for the whole of France,
and not less than ten thousand for Paris. In making
a greater number of the citizens thus participate in
the honourable functions of Jurymen, it is justly ima-
gined, that the obligations which the office imposes
will become less burdensome, and the institution be
rendered more favourable to the accused, since the
right of challenge will be more extended.
The Ministry are said to be also occupied with the
preparatiOn of a general Law upon the Press ; but
some doubt is expressed as to whether delicts con.'
netted with it are intended to be admitted to the
benefit of trial by Jury. " Let us hope," says the
Journal de Paris, with a freedom of sentiment which
we like to recognize, " that the Government, fall of
confidence in the patriotism and intelligence of the
Electors, will be the first to propose to the Chamber
to confide to them the important trust of dec'.dirg
on the abuses of the Press. Who can suppose that
Citiaens invested 'with the right of choosing the De-
puties of France, the defenders of public and private
interests, the ozgans of the national opinion—men
who every day pronounce upon the liberty, the ho-
nour, and the life of citizens—have not sense enough
to determine whether a work of the Press is or is not
dangerous ?"
The Elections throughout the Provinces are pro-
ceeding with a degree of celerity which does not
seem indicative of much party contention. X Ca-
mit.La JOURDAY has been again returned as one of
the Deputies for the Department of Ain; as have
also MOM. MENAGER, CRICQ, ar.d DESPATY, for the
Department of the Seine and Marne, which was un-
successfully contested against them by M. de la
FAYETTE and his friends. The popular favour seems
generally to incline towards the old Members.
The news contained in these Papers from the quar-
ters of the Allied troops, is not of later date than
that which we communicated yesterday, and does not
present any feature of importance.

The latest accounts from Rio Janeiro both as re-
lating to mercantile concerns and the progress of the
Independent cause in Spanish America, are highly
satisfactory. We subjoin an extract from a letter re-1
ceived by the last packet (the Lord Hobart) from the
Agent of a respectable House, which may be of some
service to our commercial Readers:
RIO JANEIRO, AUGUST 22, lel&

GEVTLEUTX—I am happy to inform you that
the whole of your ertensive consignment has been
disposed of, at prices beyond my expectations, and
much above what you had commissioned me to ac-
cept. I hope my letter of the 18th ult. would reach
you in safety, and that by the time this comes to
hand, you will have dispatched me the goods therein
named, together with any others you may deem cal-
culated for this market. With this you will get a
remittance, covering the amount of your former con-
signment. It would have been sent sooner, but I
waited the sailing of the packet, as affording a more
safe conveyance than could be relied on by a pri-
vate vessel.

" Trade has been very brisk here for some time
past, and is daily acquiring new v7kour frQsn the

success of the Independent cause. I shall not, holi
e►er, presume to give you any account of the mili-
tary operations going on in the Spanish Provinces,

:convinced that you will get more early and ample
details through the medium of your own Newspapers.
It is, however, pleasing to learn the high estimation
in which Englishmen, and English manufactures,
are every where held in this delightful quarter of
the globe.
" Whatever may be the result a the struggle is
the more distant Provinces, it is next to impossible
that the banks of la Plata can ever revert under the
bigotted Government of Old Spain; matters are too
irrevocably fixed for this. The times have totally
changed, and the events of the few past years have
wrought a complete revolution in mind as well as
matter. No doubts whatever are entertained here of
the complete and speedy triumph of the cause of In-
dependence through the whole of these fertile and
valuable Provinces; and as soon as affairs become
more tranquillized, they will open a rich field for
European commerce and speculation—the extensive
advantages of which, particularly as it regards our
own manufactures, it is impossible to calculate. Thu•
English goods, as I have already said, are preferred
here to those at. any other country ; and British
jects are treated with the greatest personal recpcct by
all ranks. If our Ci,w,:rnment prudently perses ere
in the line of conduct they have hitherto adopted,
by abstaining from all interference between Spain
and her Colonies, there is not the least doubt but the
ascendency our commerce has already attained, will
be much extended, and secured on too firm a basis
to be shaken by any rival—if indeed it were possible
for any other nation to enter the lists with us in this
respect.

am, however, d:gessing from my Purpose, by
blending warlike and political observations, in a com-
munication intended to be purely commercial.---1
[llere the writer specifies the various descriptions of
goods that are best calculated for the South Ameri li
-
can market.]
" It has been a mistaken notion with many mer-
chants and manufacturers in England, that goods of

arty fabric, however inferior their quality, would find
purchasers here: this is quite erroneous, and has
proved highly detrimental in a general view. None
but such as are firmly manufactured, and will bear
the test of examination, find a ready market. The
country was so completely deluged with inferior
goods of every description, about two years ago, that
the dealers will not now look at any thing of that
description ; and those who have impr•.nlently specu-
lated in this respect will mzet the reward of their cu-
pidity. in the return of the grzater part of their.con-
signments."

It is ascertan:s,l that A !;T:CA has now under his

are entered in cur ports from S:. Thomas, St. Bartho-
lomew's, St. Croix, &c. It is supposed that the Por-
tuguese.have been robbed by these pirates of between
four and five millions of dollars.

Claremont, ♦s Lich has, by command of Prince Lro
POLD, been on view between two and three months,
five days a week, will, at the close of this month, be
discontinued, and will in future only be shown three
days a week, viz. Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Satur-
days. Such tickets as arc still out for the five days
a week will admit on those days.

The Bishop of WATERFORD has, at this time, a
large party of friends with him at the Palace in IVa-
terford ; amongst whom are the Earl and Countess
of Mayo, the Bishop and Dean of OSSORY, and Miss
FITZCLARE:SCE. The whole party, a few days ago,
viited Dunmore, when Miss FITZCLARENCE and
Miss FOWLER went dev..n in the diving-bell, 120 feet
below the surface of the sea, accompanied by two
young Gentlemen, where they continued 25 minutes,
in the course of which time they sang several popu-
lar airs.
