SAVAXXAH, TUESDJr .VOR.VI.YC, Dec. 2. By the politeness of capt. Dwyer, of the brig Gen. Broclc, from Barbadoe3, we have been favored with Barbadoes papers up to the 11th noveniber. The governor of Dominica on the 29th Octo ber, issued his proclamation, permitting the importation for six months, in vessels of all na tions, of all kinds of provisions; with the privi lege of a return cargo, consisting of one third, Value, sugar and coffee, and the remainder rum and molasses. rnOM THF CHARLESTON COTTRIEII, NOV. 29. FROM LONDON. By the brig Henry-Clay, capt. Thomas, arrived yesterday in 46 days from London, we have received the papers of that city to the 11th ult. four or five days later than before received ; but on an attentive peru sal, find nothing in them of much public interest. < The editor of the Ghent Journal, lately prosecuted for a libel on the duke of W el lington, tells his readers that he is again *o be brought before a court of justice for opposing the measures of the royal govern ment, and for spreading alarming reports relative to the. high price of grain. In and that part of France bordering upon the German empire, ex cesses have been committed by the popu lace, in consequence of the attempts of speculators to raise the price of corn, &c. The opening of the new French legisla ture is fixed for the sth of November. The ministers have a majority, but they are still making advances to the ultra-royalists, in order to join them to their party. A mutiny had taken place on board the Chapman, convict ship, bound to Botany Say, but was frustrated by the early dis covery of the designs of the mutineers.— Their intention was to murder the whole ihips company, and carry the vessel to America. The same arrangements had been made on board the pilot, a transport which sailed in company ; and it was fear ed the mutineers on board her had succeed ed in their attempt. London*, oct. 9. Yesterday viscount Castlereagh and the earl of Liverpool had audience of the prince regent at Carleton-house. The accouchement of the princess Char lotte is expected to take place within 10 or 1! day.; —that is about Saturday or Sunday se’nnight. OCTOBER 10. The French papers of Monday have brought us an ofiicbd statement of the pe riodical administration of the sinking fund, down to the 30th ult, whence it appears that the sum in the purchase of French stock from June 1816 to the day above mentioned, v.” 51,257,123 francs, or about 2,135,713 pounds sterling; and that the interest thereby redeemed, amounts to 4,1 56,3(10 francs—l73,lßl pounds sterling. The funds, of which we on Wednesday noticed f!. gradual rise, experienced some fall TCsterday. Soon after the opening of the market, the consols were as high as 83, after which they sunk to 82. We have heard no worthy causd assigned for this fall,arid being uncertain of the reality of the unworthy one spoken of, we merely state the fact of their decline about one pfr cent. Jt appears, from accounts from Ireland, that the fever is abating in all parts of that country. PARIS, oct. 4. The result of examination into the im ports and exports of the various ports of France for the year 1816,i5, that their com merce increased, and particularly in the town of Dunkirk, Chesbourg, Havre, Brest, L’Orient, Rochefort and Toulon. The ba lance between the imports, valued at 42 151, 511 fi lines, and the exports amounting to 20 10*1 923 iiancs, gives the sum of 22,046, 535 fianCS in favor of the iinports. ocronF.it 6.

De Median j put to sea, not since heard of. The King’s schr. Papillon, capt. Thebo dere; drifted to sea, and not heard of yet. The Portuguese schr St. Andre, capt. Rc mez, (missing); not known if put to sea. Brig Csesar, of Boston, (missing); not known if put to £ca or not. Schr. Mary, of Newburyport, captain C. Davenport —7ooo gall’s molasses on board: parted her cables, and seen lying on her side—fearful her cargo shifted. Brig Montgomery, of Rhode Island, capt. S. Peck—a few bbls. fish on board ; parted her cables ; gone on shore to windward of Pigeon Island—vessel bilged, crew saved. Brig Dispatch, of Duxbury,capt. J Smith, parted cables, cut away her masts, drifted on shore to windward of Pigeon Island-had about 4000 gallons molasses on board. Margarita, king’s gabane; stranded at Pigeon Island. In the Carnage, 2 drogers, 3 ships and a brig on shore. Two other vessels have struck the ground and proba bly injured. In St. Ann’s, Marin and Vauclin ; the damage is incalculable; nothing remains but toe Soil, the negroes and the cattle; many lives have been lost. Besides the vessels mentioned in the above letter, the brig Johanna, Caldwell, of Newburyport, and schooner Mary, El well, of Gloucester, are both Stranded at Morent Bay. From Trinity I have received no partic ular account, but every vessel there is on shore. Here the schr Mentor, Biglow, ofN.Car olina, went on shore after parting her ca-l bles, and is lost; crew saved. About thirty French vessels were blown to sea, and three Americans ; nothingheard of any of them since. Capt. Cully, of schr Union, was left on shore sick; capt. Glud ding of brig Nancy, was at Fort Royal; capt. Wilson, of brig Alice is on board the brig Edganora, Lemuel Crabtree, master, of Sul livan, upset about 60 miles to windward of the Island. He and four men were taken off the wreck by boats sent out from this.— Three men were drowned, the captain and the others are under my care. A French frigate went on shore to wind ward, and upwards of one hundred persons were drowned.” Societies for the support of the national interest have been recently formed at Brussels, Ghent, Louvain, &c. Their ob ject is to give a preference to their own manufactures in opposition to those of Great Britain. Solomon and queen Sheba. —The follow ing well pointed story is taken by D’lsraeli from the Talmud : “The power of Solo mon had spread his wisdom to the remotest parts of the known world. Queen Sheba, attracted by the splendor of his reputation, visited this poetical kinjr at his own court. There, one day, to execise the sagacity of the monarch, Sheba presented herself at the foot of the throne, in each of her hands she he'd a wreath of flowers ; one composed of natural, the other of artificial flowers. Art, in the labor of the mimic wreath, had ex quisitely emulated the lively lines of nature —so that at the distance it was held by the Queen for the inspection of the king, it was deemed impossible for him to decide, as her question imported, which wreath was the production of nature, and which the work of art. The sagacity of Solomon seemed perplexed ; yet to be vanquished, though in a trifle, by a trifling woman,irritated his pride. The son of David, he who had writ , ten treatises on the vegifable p: /auctions “from the cedar to the hyssop,” to ac knowledge himself outwitted by a woman, with shreds of paper and glazed paintings ! I'he honor of the monarches reputation for divine sagacity seemed diminished, and the whole Jewish court looked solemn and melancholy. At length an expedient pre sented itself to the king, and it must be con . fessed worthy of the natural philosopher. Observin'; a cluster of bees hovering about a window, he commanded that if should be opened; it was 1 rvned—the bees rushed into the court and alighted iinmediatelyon one of the wreaths, whilst not a single one fixed one or the other. The baffled Sheba had one more reason <0 be astonished at the wisdom of Solomon. Sueh is the story. Mr. D’lsrmli thus turns its moral : “T his would nvike a pret lv poetical tale. It would yield an elegant desn ipfion, and a pleasing moral; that the hoe only rests on the natural beauties, and never slops on the painted tlowers, howev er inimitable the color may lie laid on. I Applied to ladies, this would give it pun- I v.” I “ J OFFICIAL. Members of the Fifteenth Congress, convened on the first Monday in December• SENATE,. New-Uampsh ire — David L.
