quit) and injustice.
Coerce, eisr DVir.
In consequence of an official dispatch from the
Secretary of Marino having been read, and various
ether documents, stating that General Monteverde
had pacified all the province of Caraccas, and taken
the rebel Miranda, and all the other Insurgent
Ciders prisoners. Senior Calatrava proposed, that
the Regency should be instructed to inform Don
Domingo Monteverde, that the Cortes had seen with
gi eat satisfaction the happy results of his operatious,
as likewise the important services which he, and the
troops under his command, had performed in the pa-
eiiicatiou and re-conquest of the Caraccas. This
proposition was approved, with the suppression of
the word '6 re-conquest," on the proposal of Senor
Meadiola.
The Cortes then proceeded to the consideration
of the Uleamarine Commission (see the sitting of
the Pith A•ti;ust last) relative to the abolition of
the Mites (I), and the other propositions of Senor
Castello. Tois Seeor made a long and learned dis-
course, in which, with the most solid reasons he
prnvtd the inhumanity, injustice, and barbarity of
such an establishment. Having concluded, he
begged of Senor Conde de Toreno that they should'
innediately proceed to vote, as the point did not re-
quire greater illustration, and all the deputies being
convinced (except, perhaps, Senor Astolza, who
had made a proposition in favour of Las Mites)
of the necessity of abolishing an establishment
which opposed the principles of equality established
between the !tram rule Spaiiiards and those of the
Peninsula. Aft..e some discussion, in which Senors
Astoleza and Larrazabel took a part, the report of
the commission was put to the vote and unanimously
approved.
Ist, That Las Miles should be for ever abolished.
2d, That the Indians should be exempted from
the personal service they gave the Clergy er any other
public functionary whatever, obliging them, how-
ever, to satisfy the parochial rights the same as the
other classes.
3d. That the public charges, such as the building
churches, making roads, &e. should be equally borne
hv all the inhabitants indiscriminately.
4th. That divisions of land should be made to the
Indians, leaving to the Provincial Deputies the care
of assigning time quotas, &c. &c.
sth. That in all the territories of America some of
the dignities should necessarily remain with the In-
dians :
(I.) A certaitt contribution of men which the people
wore obliged to give for time cultivation of the land,
'working the mines, &c.—(2.) People of the vast
Spanish monarchy, you have iu these wise and be-
noicent regulations of the National Congress, fresh
proofs of the advantages you may promise yourselves
from your Cortes.

A private letter from Boston, dated October 2,
observes, that the Americans hare no great reason
to exult in the case of the Guarder*, for the truth
is, there is not a single British frigate on the station
that will capture an American frigate. The Coma.
tatinn IS within six feet as long as the English seven.
ty-fours. Sae has broad gangways, and has gums
on them, three on each side. In the tops
are hackwood-men, Irishmen, who will hit a small
bird on the wing with ball. The greater part of the
...ma's are bona fide English, who came over during
the short Face, and they have good reason for not
being taken, and while the English Commanders were
weakening their crews by sending them away in
prize vessels, the Americans took no prizes, hut
learnt all, keeping their ship full manned. In fact,
England must send out stouter frigates, and better
scanned, to have any success here. There is but one
good frigate on this station, the .4casta, and she
will be taken for the reasons mentioned. " I know,"
Continues the writer, from a long residence at Ply-
mouth, the English ships are manned with difficulty ;
that u frigate, whose complement may be 350 men,
does tint get above thirty prime seamen. If he
takes fire or six prizes, her complement is reduced
toe number hardly sufficient to work the guns, and
of these more than one half are landStneu. The
Americans are all prime seaman; and are strongly
=tuned."

THE STA TE SAL IN.

LONDON:
MONDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 18141.

A Gottenburgh Mail. arrived this morning, with
letters and papers to• the teth ultimo, inclusive.—
they contain the very IssroterAxt lwrrt.t.tosmee of
Boxarawrs having left Moscow, and being. at
Kouigsberg on his way to Paris, where he has or-
dered quarters for 17,000 men ; and has issued. a
Proclamation, signifying his intention of immediate-
ly returning to Berlin, as soon as he has complied
with the wishes of FIFTY-TWO MILLIONS of his
paople, who entreated him to Spare the Russians,
and return to the bosom of his country, where he is
so much adored. The above ambiguous information
might give rise to considerable spaculation, if we
had time to indulge in it. Circumstances like these
have almost always been the forerunner of some great
political, er warlike event. Many of our Readers
will infer, that a Treaty between Napeczotr and
LEX A N DER has been concluded, Of the former would
' not have left Moscow so abruptly. Others will as
readily conclude, that the disturbances in Paris have
more extended ramifications than we have been led to
believe, and that his return home is desired from si-
milar causes to those which so suddenly retailed him
from Egypt. This news, whether the manoeuvre of
Icertain political writers, or a rase of the wily Em-
peror himself, ;nust be explained by our next direct
intelligence from the Seat of the northern war ; and
therefore our Readers may confidently look to the
STATESMAN for the unriddling of this mystery.

These Papers likewise contain an official account
of the operations of Gen. Ku ruso w, as reported to
the Emperor Am:Annan, dated Bogovodisko, Oct.
1, and likewise a Supplement of the 16th ult. For the
particulars we must refer to the extracts.

CARLSKAM, OCT. 26.—The latest accounts from
the other side, inform us, that BONAPARTE is on his
way to Paris, and is now at Ko9igsberg, e here he
has ordered quarters for 17,000 men. He has issued
a Proclamation, signifying his intention of immedi-
ately returning to Berlin as soon as he has complied
with the wishes of 52,000,003 of his people, who en-
treat him to spare the Russians, and return to the
bosom of his country, where he is so much adored.
The Egmont, of 74 guns, arrived on Thursday
with Admiral Hors:.

liamnuactt, Oct. 29.—Private letters from dui
G rand Army are most satisfactory.
The French soldier only requires a moment's re-
pose and enjoyment, to forgot all past pains and pri-
vations.

The inhabitants of Moscow are filled with asto-
nishment at seeing these men, transported as by ma-
gic, into the middle of them, wot thinking of the
past, but gaily enjoying the present.
Letters of the 6th Oct. state, that the King of NA-
PLES and Prince PoNtaTowswi, are following the
enemy in the direction of Kalongs,.
ST. PETrItSPURGII, Syn. 25 (Om 9).—For the
satisfaction of the Public, we have now the satisfac-
tion to inform them, that on the 12th of September
the Manifesto of his Imperial Majesty appeared,
concerning the mutual exchange of the ratifications
of the treats made between Russia end England,
with regard to the restoration and confirmati•nn of
the peace between both these Empires on a solid
basis. in consequence thereof, it is permitted all
Russian subjects to enter, according to the existing
fundamental laws, without any risk, into the like
commercial connections with the subjects of Great
Britain, as have heretofore been usual with a Power
which has for ages been allied to and steady in friendly
relations with no. _ _

TW ER, SEPT. 18 (30).--The Emigrants who have I
fled from Moscow, have inserted her that several
Commanders of the French troops examined the line
of shops where carriages are sold, and finding a num•
bcr of equipages, made preparations for carrying
them off to their camp on the following morning, in
order to distribute them among theirOilicers ; but the
owners of these shops preferred rather loosing them
and all the property they contained, than to see their
goods disgraced and in the hands of the enemy.—
They therefore, in the course of the night, set are to
their shops is different places, and suffered them all
to become a prey to the flames.
