This arrangement, inge nious as it may appear to Ls aut or, wants one quality, which however is not always necessary to tlie construction of a good story. It has no foundation in fact, with the exception of the re tirement of lord Mulgrave from the master-ge ne, aiship of the ordinance, which is to he filled by the uke of Wellington. We dismiss this subject of moves and changes with asserting, that there is no foundation for a nother report,that sir Hudson Lowe is to he re moved from the government of St. Helena. Sir Hudson is to continue governor. The duke of Wellington is expected at Ho ver from Calias to-morrow. The Lord Dun can sailed on Tuesday for that port, to he in readiness to receive his grace. Lord Caslle rcagh, who was to precede the duke by one day, was expected last night at Dover. A private letter from Madrid, dated the 3d instant, says—‘-We liave no news here of any importance that I can learn, but we are in such a state of ignorance upon political matters, that we hardly know what is going forward in the pro vinces.

Morn. Chron. LATE FROM FRANCE. Charleston, February 6. By the Duguay-Trouin, arrived here on Thursday, 40 days from Havre, we have been put in possession of a file of Paris papers to the 21st of December, and of commercial extracts from Havre of the 23d. The latter furnish us with gloomy prospects for the shippers of our staple commodities; rice and cotton being on the decline, and the former nearly unsaleable. The French funds had suffered a very serious de pression, but were again on the rise. The de pression was occasioned by the allies and parti cularly the Russians throwing their stock into the market nearly at the same moment, as they were leaving France. Private letters also state, that there had been a great number of failures in France, Holland and other parts of the continent.

Calcutta, August 8. We are happy in being enabled to present our readers with the following articles of intelligence received from an authentic source per his ma jesty’s ship Comvay, which arrived from the Persian gulf on the 2d August. The prov ince ofKhorasan has thrown off the allegiance of the king of Persia, who is prepar ing to advance against it. Tne accounts of the fall of Deriyah, the Wa liabee capilai, were premature; ihcir chieftain, however, Abdallah, is cioseiy besieged by tne Turks now before that piace. Overtures of a pacific nature have at length been made by the pirate tribes to the Imaum of Muscat; but without success. He is again on Ins way accompanied by his whole fleet to un dertake the blockade of Bahrein. Eikander Kuan, a Persian nobleman of the court ot the prince of Ears, attended by an Arab Shaikh, of some influence, hearing an honorary dress and sword, from his royal highness to the Shaikh of Banrein, lately returned disguised with their reception and wholly unsucctsslui in the objects of their mission. The Shaikh ac cepted the dress and its accompaniment, but de clined acknowledging tne supremacy of Persia, by either paying tne most trifling tribute, or al lowing the coin of the island to hear tne titles or legend of his Persian majesty. No gift was made in return for tiie royal donation, nor were tne hearers of it, as it is usuai, led during tne pe riod of their residence, at tne public expence. Tne prince, enraged al this spirited rejection of iiis intrusive and iii-tim and demands, breathes vengeance against these islanders; and is endea voring to bring about a request, on the part of the Imaum of Muscat, to be aided in his hostile views by a Persian force. But tlie Imaum, who lias already paid too dearly by their hoiiow ii iend ship, has hitherto prudently rejected their ofl'eis- FROM THE ISLE OF MAY. New-York, January 27. We learn from captain J ocean, of the brig Bclvidere, that on tne 24th of December, a Por tuguese scli’r arrived at the Isle of May from Port Praya, St. Jago, with officers, troops and guns, to erect fortifications, and put the place in a state of defence against any furthei depreda tions from the piratical patriot privateers. A new genei al had recently arrived at Port Praya from Lisbon, to succeed the former one. FROM BUENOS AYRES. Official information lias been received by the government of Buenos Ayres, of the outrageous conduct of the privateer brig Maipo, capt. Jonn Daniels, of Baltimore. They have passed a de cree declaring him a pirate and outlaw, and compelled a Mr. Ford, who was his security in the sum of ten thousand dollars, to pay tne mo ney into court. They iiave also published a de cree stating their determination to render justice to all nations, and disavow ing the many disgrace ful acts done by privateers under their flag. The government are giving grants of land to persons who are disposed to settle at Quilmes, about eight miles below Buenos Ayres, on the southwest hank of the river, for the purpose of building a town. A private letter states that a bank was about to be established at Buenos Ayres. By the iast accounts received, it tvas reported that Talcuhuana in Chili had been evacuated by the royalists. A paper of the 16tii October gives the official account of the evacuation and of the taking possession by the Chilian army. From the Boston Palladium, January 22. w e learn by the Persia, that a South Ameri can privateer, which had been cruiziug in the Straights of Macassar, had been attacked by a fleet of Maly pirates, (they supposing Her to be a merchantman) and the whole of them captured— their crews were compelled to walk the plank. She had also captur ed a Chinese junk, and mann ed her. The Persia was boarded Dec. 10th, off St. He lena, from one of the British men of war look out ships, and was informed that Bonaparte was in good health, but daily getting more illnatured and surly. .The squadron stationed off there had been much affected with tne dysentery, and had lest more than one man in fifteen. The flag ship had lost about 90 men. Upwards of 200 vessels, principally French, were, it is said, at Odessa, on the Black Sea, at the last dates thence, loading with grain for the Mcditerrrncan. The produce of the vintage of last year, for the kingdom of Wurtemburg, is estimated at 15 millions of florins, and that of Baden at 20 millions. The produce of the last vintage was so abundant in some parts of Italy, that the quin tal of grapes has paid but 16 sous. Great quan tities of wine have been put in cisterns for want of casks. From the Boston JJuily Advertiser. A letter from Mr. G. G. Barrell, our consul af Malaga, dated Oct. 24, mentions that captain Sears of Boston, Thomas C. Conckling of Balti more, and William Thompson, who have been confined in prison at Ceuta, had just arrived at Malaga, where they w r ere brought for trial. He observes that nothing which can be done to as sist them w ill be neglected, and that neither they nor the five other Americans who have been in the prison of that city for more than a year are permitted to suffer from any thing but the loss of their liberty. It was expected that their trial would take place in a few months. Extract of a letter from (iibraltar, dated December 7. The United States’ ships Frar.Jin, United States and Erie were, at the last aC ounts, at Sy racuse—-the Spark had gone to Tripoli—the U nited States was expected to Follow the Peacock on ner way to America, and may he expected shortly. The Guerrieve had not arrived at Sy racuse when the Peacock left. Captain Baliard commands tiie sioop of war Erie. Capt. Soper, of tiie senooner Price, informs that com.

IC. We are informed, from undisputed authority, that the regiment stationed at tnis post, with the exception of two or three companies, will be re moved next spring. The companies which re main wm undoubtedly be employed on the Cha teaugay road. The extension ol military posts totne southwest, where a considerable force is required to secure them against any hostilities of the Indians, is the reason assigned for drawing off - me ti oops from tnose piaces wheie a small force only is required to protect the public works. ■ BANISHMENT or ROBERT GOURLAY. Under tnis head, the Niagara Spectator gives a long order, under the signatures of William Dickson and William Claus, membeisof the legislative council, and dated the 21stoi Decem ber, IBIS, requiring Robert Gouriay to depart tne province of Upper Canada, on or before the first day of January next ensuing, on the penal ty of imprisonment without the benefit of bail. This order is followed by an articie fiom the pen of Mr. Gounay, which closes with the ioi lowing paragraph: “l have written to England a month ago, that about Chnstinas I should set ott from Canada on my way thi ther. 1 have now written that 1 cannot perform my purpose. An anxious wife ana family have within the last fifteen months, a dozen times received such mes sages—a dozen tunes have they felt the pangs of disap pointed hope, v\ lnle month after month 1 have been de tained here, either by some powerful feeling of duty or by some cruel necessity. Thus it is now. Were I to depart the province at this time it would be ycilding to the slander of interested, selfish, and debased charac ters —it would be a surrender of the most valuable pub lic rights—it would be degrading to the British consti tution: —No, gentlemen, 1 shall rather rot in Niagara gaol than depart from the province at this time:—rather snail I forego all the joys of life than possess them with abandoned principle and subjugated honor.” IMPORTANT DECISION. The suits which were instituted by this com monwealth against the directors and officers of the United States’ Branch Bank in Lexington, respectively, for tne recovery of the fines and ! penalties incurred by the refusal of the branch to pay the state tax, came on for trial before the general court, sitting at Frankfort, on Friday last, ‘l’lie one against tlie poiter of the office was sc i lected for trial. After a hearing of three days, : the cause was decided in his favor. The council for the officer of the U. States’ Bank demurred to the declaration on two grounds; first the deficiency ol the declaration, and mainly the unconsiitutionality of the suite , law. The court sustained the demurrer, and ! gave an opinion that a state has no right to im pose a penalty on a person acting under a law of i the United States. —Kentucky Gazette. The bill to tax the United States’ Branch Banks sixty thousand dollars per annum, with a j view to expel them from the state, is still under discussion in the house of representatives of Ken tucky. It has been supported by Mr. Sharp, Mr. M‘Kee, Mr. J. Logan and others, and op posed with ability by general Hardin, Mr. Breck enridge, Mr. Crittenden and otheis. The bill is so outrageously voiicnt in its provisions, and the temper of its members is becoming so myt h more rational than it was, that we entertain a confident nope that the meaure will be rejected, in one or the other branch. We really hope for the honor of Kentucky, that some little show of moderation and good sense will be preserved by the majority at Frankfort.— ib. INTOLERANCE. The bill, introduced some time ago into the ; house of delegates of Maryland, to alter the com stitution so as to place the Jews on an equal footing with the Christians, as to political rights, has been rejected by a large majority of that house. This result w ill be a matter of regret to every liberal minded Christian whose sincere confidence in the correctness of his own religi ous principles would prevent £UiA*Y in-
