deals who were anzions to ihtablish a new Company;

THE STATESMAN.

LONDON:

lATIIIPAT• NOVEMBER 28, 1818.

New York and other American Papers to the Ist
inst. reached us this forenoon. Congress was to
meet on the 16th lost. The American hatelligetsce
may be expected speedily to become of a very inte-
nding character. The Papers are still speculating
iu anticipation upon the subjects of the Patti DENT'S
Message, which, it appears, has many topics of im-
portance to include. The following extract relates
to other again:—

[YEW YORK DAILY ADVERTISER, OCT. 31.1
Extract of a letter communicated to the Baltimore
Cantor, dated Island of Margaretts, Sept. G:—
Oer military exertions are now
,paralysed by the
swell of waters, but oar armies and those of the ens•
my are streegthestios themselves for tbeensalag cam-
pers. In the mein time there has entered is Guiana
*ad this Island a great number of armed vessels..
The inhabitants here wry on the war with the
greatest terror, notwithstanding the resistance of the
Royalists. This moment we have io our port eleven
prises captered by the islanders. Our forces are Ah-
ployfid es follows t.General Pees, in Apure, with
3500 cavalry and 700 infantry--General Zarttaa
and Ildonap in Pat and St. Diego, with 2500 horse-
men. Gea. Sedepo in Chargnavaana with 1000 ca-
valry—Generals !Marino and Bermudas, in Comm,

1000.—‘411 the Sepreme Chief in Golan., with 4000

oar fate will be earned, sad our liberties achieved
before the year expires. All these divisions, wept
those at Cases. and Delicate's*, will act tgaisst the

responding artillery lately arriVed frow England.

who have to give and receive, the accounts from Aix-
Ja-Cgspelle have now only en expiring littered. We
give Rasiiter letter to-darfrour 'that plat% which
chiefly relates to the prolongation of time Awed to

It seems, from doeoments drawn up en this %ob-
ject for he convenience of France end the bankers
oafy, bet for the general accommodation of
the other European States, and great commercial in-
terests, ail of which would oo doubt be affected by a
too rapid absorption of money from France. Hence
springs the second article of the new arrangemeot,
which allows the Banking-hoases to make good their
engagements, not in or through Frannie only, (which'
I would draw much of the specie of Lerope to Paris,
11 as a centre, merely to be from abeam dispersed
again,) but by bills of exchange upon ether cities
and large towns. The prolongation, however, of
the term of payment by France, from nine to 18
months, seems • prospect which might excite cons'.
durable speculation. In that time what events may
happen !' what changes may come to pass! what re-
verses may take place ! In 18 months the debtor may
become the creditor; and they whosow reckons their
thrones as stable*. the Alps, may be fugitives in fo-
reign ceentries, begging tango sod sobiletione boo
ILP t`eople they have trodden down and disperied. •
The letter which we Insert from Aix-la-Chspelle
concludes with the mention of o report which had
reached that place of Brussels having been thrown
into a tumult, by some pretty strong expressions of
the dissatisfaction of the People at conduct of the
Members of the Holy Alliance, who lied thought
proper to show themselves in the capital of the No.
theriends. Except the account we had two days"
ago, of some persons having been arrested and exa-
mined at Brussels, charged with an intention to
blow up the Town Hall in which the Royal Family
of the NxTnxßLssDs, the Emper. or And Empress
Dowager of RUSSIA) the Doke of WaranGTon,
the British Ambassador, and many other English
Nobility were assembled at a ball, there is no men-
tion in the Flanders Papers of any each event.

L

The Paris Papers have reached us to Thursday
last. The Five per Cents. were on Wednesday at
69, and the Coarse of Ea:hinge on London, at
three months, 23, 15. The Doke of WaLtISOTOII
was espeeted to arrive in Paris on Thenday and it
was added that Lord CAtTLERZAOU might probably
take that capital in his way from Aiz-la.Chapelle.
The official part of the Moniteor contains to Ordi-
nance, fixing the rate of the pensions granted to
retired teachers of the Royal Military Schools. The
Moniteur of the 24th contains the 011cial Doe*.
ments of the Congress of Aix-la-Chapelle, which
we have already laid before our Readers : they
are simply given to the French Public in an
°Mehl form, widest a single lino of rannairk..
Tbe French Minister at War is busily employed la
establishing echos!. of mutual instruction throughout
the Army. It is said, that before the Ist of February
each corps dames will have one of these schools.—
The Doke of ANGOULEIE was expected at WIZ on
the 23d instant. Immediately on his arrival under
the walls of the citadel, he was to be p►esent at a
feigned attack on that tomes,. The next day, he
,was to proceed to Thionville. The Russian General
OUDOIS passed through Metz on the 20th, and
Rained the head of his colamu of troops, which had
thee reached Saarebreck.

Mails from Holland and liamborgli have arrived,
the contents of which are in some degree of im•
perfume. The advice. from Rolland have lately
been of a very unpleasant description. The embar-
rassment and confusion in money concerns. created
at Amsterdam and Rotterdam, by the speculations of
the Merchants and Bankers in foreign securities,
have bad serious consequences upon the prosperity and
credit of smseral houses of respectability. Two more
Bassking.heeses in Amsterdam are stated to have failed
for large sums. The etching@ had fallen one and a
half per cent. hi one day, and monied concerns are
described as having suffered a complete stagnation.
The private advice., however, represent matters as
wearing an improving aspect. By the help of the
Government and the grist Capitalists, coafideocn was
beginning generally to revive; though with regard
to commerce, it was deemed probable that the stag-
nation in the Markets would not be altogether re-
moved before the beginning of the. nest year, the pe-
riod when the spring orders usually arrive from Ger-
many. A letter tromp( otterdern, of the 24th instant,
states, that by the timely interference of the Go-
vernment, and some of the principal Capitalists, the
embarrassments lately felt in the money-market at
Amsterdam have nearly subsided, without any other
consequences than the failure of a few secondary
houses, that have been dealing largely in those fo-
reign Government securities which have lately under-
gone so remarkable a depression. The accounts
from Amsterdam itself are less flattering, as they
announce one Mere to a considerable extent,
though not perhaps in an establishment of the
kit consequence. The house named is that of
De JONG; VAN DER Zoo, end Co., Bankers,
who had become involved by the accommodations
afforded to speculators in the fonds, end the late
unexpected scarcity of money, which produced a ge.

, knottily has seriously affected the commerce of the

The rumour which we mentioned yesterday, of
Lord hitmonAva's intention to refits from tiro Ord.
since Department, is father con*rmed. Tio
certain state of his Lordship's health is assigned N
the cause, but it is more p►obable that this *map,
intuit is deemed necessary to provide a good place for
the Duke of WELLINGTON. We have out heard
whether Lord MULGIAYI retires upon a posies
ikaal to his 'Wary, as is sow the custom when 4 Ma
Bites up an office for which be has been 1414 well
paid, and when the duties of that office had become
a sinecure. One of our Morning Catersporaries
says, " We are not without hopes, that the salary of
this office may, at least in time of peace, be sand to
the Public, by the atnalpmetion of the dirties with
those of some other bn►eau." Opt* *hat groands
these hopes are founded, wear@ at alias to conceive.

A very numerous and respectable Meeting of the
East London District, was held yesterday at ,11.
City of London Tavern, to receive the Report of the
Committee appointed to investigate the alleged coo.
impel', of the East London and New River Water- '
works Companies. A full report of the proceedings
at the Meeting, which will be found in our Paper,
of this day, is highly interesting to the Public. The
evils so justly complained of, we are glad to
ceire, are likely to meet with a salotary check, by.
the measures intended to be adopted for this pupa,'
and few subjects are more entitled to Legislative at.
teation than the abases to which the Pablic are sob.
joeted by these Monopolies.
