feed hien ; he sees the necessity of giving up the
further idea of divine right and liassive obedience;
hr finds that his strength lies in their affections.

—Their feelings anti their Constitution assimi-
Lae to those of Spain, and, in short, we feel coufi.lent
that the wise men of both countries will farm an al.
liance to enable them to subtitle their enemies, under

evert• folio, and bid defiance to the intrigues of the Ca.

holy Alliance. The French BOURBON has pressed tha
litxu of England toquit the Ilanoverian elysiam sal
visit Paris. "l'is said, he has made great preparations
for his Britannic MansTv's reception; that he bas
procured a large glass table, wherein they can admire
their !loyal countenances, and compliment each other
upon the happy issue of •37 years war and bloodshed
for the restoration of the Bourbon dynasty in France.
Notwithstanding which, we do not suppose his Ma-
jesty, KING GEO:IGE IV., whose councils have bred ia
France .10 touch hatred to any thing English, except
English money, will venture amongst them, for it is
not to he supposed, that a KING, who contributed ss
material:y to their political subjugation, could become
a welcome visitor to the French people.

By the Paris papers we leant that the renewal sf
one-fifth of the French Chamber of Deputies is cow
completed. The Monitrur, in noticing the results of
the election, boasts that the Revolutionary or " Libe.
ral" candidates have been universally rejected; bat
thinks it necessary soon to suggest, what tends is
bring this assertion into total discredit, that the
aisterial and Ultras of the Chamber ought to unite,
e;se the compact minority of the Liberals could outvote
each separately. By letters from the Hague it is
stated that there will be submitted to the Second
Chamber of the States General, i tttttt ediatelv after the
formation of the Sessi.'n, a proposition of the highest
importance. It is alleged that it will be proposed to
suspend until the next Session, the execution of the
-system of imports of which she bases had been adopted
in the last. In the interval a new system of tinancesA•
be created more in harmony with the acknowledge)
interests of the two grand divisions of the kingdom.
It is in a word affirmed that this change, if it take
place, will be particularly owing to the solicitude of
the Minister of Receipts, M. Appelius. In the speech
of the King of the Netherlands on opening the State
General there is one point which cannot fail to gain
attention, especially at a period when such doubts pre-
vail upon the subject. " The disturbances in the
Levant have," his Majesty says " caused anxiety, Lit
still there was a well founded hope that peace would
be preserved." The accounts received a the proceed-
ings of the Cortes of Furthest will be found in another
column, and will be read with peculiar interest. The
alarm excited by the ravages of the yellow fever, at
Barcelona, seem to have extended over the whole
Continent. Measures of precaution are adopted see•
evasively by the Southern States ; and if the contagioe
continue any length of time unsubdued in Spain, the
intercourse between nations will probably he subjected
to considerable restrictions in the other parts of
Europe. A Proclamation has been issued at Tuna
to protect the States of Piedmont from the fever,kt
which it is ordered, that no traveller shall enter
thst country from France, unlees he is provided with
a certificate of health from the French Authorities

Jars there had been again several arrivals from Con-

tip to the 16th bad been received. The same un-
certsiety rtill prevailed reputing the declaration of
the Court of Petersburg, but the Turks appeared to en-
wain some hopes of peace. " Our situation,"
or the writer of the article, " becomes every
by more singular. All that we saw for some
time back gave vs reason to infer that a speedy cons-
ommement of hostilities was probable; we are now more
avel more convinced every day that we were before
mistaken. We are in some measure on hostile terms
with Turkey, as all commercial intercourse is suspend-
.l, bat the hopes of peace become more confirmed.
_Avery body joins in the wish that this anplea-

article from Berlin gives a carious account of the
number of causes pending last year before all the tri-
banals in the Provinces on that side of the Rhine in
which the Prussian general system of the adminis.
math* of justice is introduced. 1. Civil Suits,
345,811. 2. Suits relative to Bankruptcies, Liqui-
dation, and Auctions, 13,825. 3. Guardianships,
372,208. Of those under Ist and 2d beads there
were terminated by judicial Sentences, 122,294 ;
by compromise, 80,543 ; by renunciation, 57,567.
The bookseller Brockhans, who bad lately ob-
tained the revocation of the prohibition imposed on
liar to sell and distribute his publications in the
Prussian dominions as formerly, without undergo-
ing a second censorship, has been suddenly de•
priced by the Prussian Government of the bene-
fit of this concession. Many persons think that M.
Brockans hes drawn upon himself this unexpected
measure, by a printed circular letter to all the Prus-
sian booksellers, in which be permitted himself some
very unbecoming an 4 offensive remarks against the
subordinate Prussian Authorities.

Extract of a letter from Jamaica, dated August 28 :
—The Kingston passed close inshore off Carthagena
on the 27th inst., in sight of the Popa. Every thing ap-
rued quiet, and only a schooner cruizing off and on.
His Honour, the Lieut. Governor, has been pleased to
issue a proclamation prohibiting the exportation of
sour, bread, biscuit, rice, corn-meal, corn, or pease.
The proclamation of the 27d of July only extending
to flour. Fur these last ten days the weather has been
very hot and oppressive, with little wind, nor has there
been any heavy thunder during the season, until the
?sth inst., when the wind came on moderately from
the north west, with heavy rain, and, during its con-
tinuance, several severe claps of thunder succeeded
each other.

AloNvarat., SErr. I3.—A letter from ('Assumption
mentions, that about three o'clock in the afternoon of
last Sunday, there was experienced in that place a
hurricane, by which three houses and thirteen barns
were disman.led, but no lives lost, although the fa-
milies were within them when the roofs were torn off.

A paragraph has appeared in some of the papers,evi-
neatly levelled at the Duke de Frias, the late Spanish
kubasqador, in which it is insinuated that his Excel-
bery, at the sale of his wines, which took place on his
quitting this country, and which had been imported
free ander his priiilegr as Ambassador, did not pay
the duties. We are desired to state that this is
Wholly untrne. Ills Excellency, through his agent
here, punctually paid the duties. To give higher im-
portance to this insinuation against the honour of the
Duke de Pries, the value of his stock of wines has
been stated at 9,oool.—(Tiates.)

Letters were yesterday received from Jamaica dated
3J September, which mention, that by a sloop arrived
from Chsgre, information bad been obtained, confirm-
ing the report of the defeat of General San Martin at
Chorille•, in an action which, it was understood. took
place in June, consequently subsequent to the signing
of the Armistice.
