mid ■hlVhl>.li«Hii LAtE FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. Boston-, October 26. Talleyrand is said to have joined the ultras, 'Vho are violently opposed to the new Urganiia- *ion of the government, as approved by the king. The Austrian government is augmenting the 'Strength of all the frontiers of Illyria, which are Vo be pot in a state of defence. The Russian squadron in the Black sea is to pass into the Mediterranean. The Paris papers of Saturday last, which we ■have received along with those of Friday, con- jtain the official confirmation of a most unex pected piece of intelligence. The chamber of deputies is dissolved—the ultras are scattered And reduced into contemptible nothings, at the moment they were singing the song of victory, And about to place their own ministry in the seat t)f administration. The Monitetir of Saturday 'Contains an ordinance of the king, dated 5th ’inst. and signed by M. Laine, minister of the interior, dissolving the chamber ot deputies, and .convoking the electoral colleges for the purpos es of re-election. This unexpected triumph of "the constitutionalistsV at the ms^uit almost when they seemed to no other^^prnative than resigning their places or abandoning their principles, is as gratifying as it is surprising.— The king has acted wisely in this particular. He can lose nothing by acting in conformity 'with the constitution, and the assurances which preserved inviolate, and France expects to see pre is doubtless the eVideht security and increas ed strength to the government, resulting from wi adherence to thqjpjrinciplcs p£ liberality and .Jjustiefe and the wishes of the majority of the na tion, which ha*e induced the head of the Bour bons to adopt this'^udtlen detemnination. A gentleman, who left Eastport the lbth inst. informs us, that tnp-laL* re;»ort of a battle hear that place, betwe<yi^oij>e American fishermen and the British, is quite incon^fcf.' Tlie-Wact?* 2ve says, were, that the British cutter did order e fishing boat off, and they retieeiLuccor l y, without resistance. No things farmer had pVinees, wtiicVi tYrVal.eh to break out into new violence. The Rajah, Holkur, in order to ex tricate himself from his pressing difficulties, and relieve the distressed of his army, called together his landholders, and told them they must either set apart one fourth of their annual reVehues, as a fund for discharging the arrears of his troops or at once quit their fees. They, of course, pre ferred the former branch of the alternative. Hordes of those lawless freebooters the Pin darees, had frustrated the vigilance of our troops ^and effected their escape. In Sackny (Puntoor and other intermediate villages, they commit ted the most enormous cruelties; every where desolation and rapine marked their track—they spared neither age nor sex—the father was sac rificed after witnessing the violation of his daughter, and the mother aud infant were fre quently dispatched by the same blow. The plunder carried offby these marauders is es timated at seven lacks and a half of pajodas. April 25. In the unhappy country of Jypaot, where these excesses prevail, there is no prospect of joyful days to the voutnful ruler. All is disturbance, poverty and distress. The prince, poverty struck and broken heart ed, his ministry feeble, disjointed, inert; and his people pressed and broken down by the grip ing insolence and insatiable rapacity of numer ous foreign and domestic enemies. The utter extiuctiomof the' Piudaree system and of its great head Aieer Khan can alone bring back prosperity to Jypoor—an event which must be anxiously prayed for by every admirer of fhe noble qualities of the- Rajpoot character. May 6. Communicated.—It is expected that eighteen ships, with cargpes of (65,000bales) cotton, will sail from this port for Cfiiqa, during the present season.. ■ '■‘S' -transpired on the subject; and it is believed the .*tory of the battle is groundless. News from Rio Janeiro was to the 21st Jfily. The projected descent of the Brazil troops on the territory of La Plata, to assist the royal Spanish cause, had been given up (even after the expedition had sailed.) in consequence of a remonstrance from the British government. It stated that Portugal had m ust probably en gaged to re-conquer Buenos Ayres for Spain, as an equivalent for the dowries which the two ^princesses were to carry with them on their marriage to Ferdinand and his brother. By an ordinance of the 5th of September, the .French chamber of deputies were dissolved, and .it new chamber directed to be formed according to the regulations established by the chambers. Among the number of eighty-six presidents of -3epartmental colleges, who have been appoint ed by the king, there are but forty-seven who were members o# the dissolved chamber.—This yffhange, however important, excited scarcely any Remarks in the Parisian editors. The change is calculated will give permanent stability to the present government. It is again stated that the emperors of Russia ijfnd Austria, and the king of Prussia, are to Ifieet at Warsaw. The censors of two of the Paris papers have Ken removed from office, for admitting impro- >r political remarks to be inserted, and one of .••the ministers to the king had been removed /from office for having issued from his press some improper political works.

A new* cause is now assigned fur the late in crease of the French army; it is said that France has agreed to lend an array to Spain for the purpose of recovering South-Aineric-u. An elegant m ‘dal has been struck and pre sented by Mr. West, the venerable president of ■the royal academy, to the directors of the Bri tish institution, who subscribed to purchase his .celebrated picture of Christ in the temple, for their gallery.

QUAKER CANT. Some time ago, we took occasion to animad vert on the encouragement given, by the Spanish authorities at Feruardina, to the clandestine in troduction of African and Spanish qegroes into this state, and recommended to the executive the equipping two national vessels—one to cruise off Amelia bar. the other to be stationed at Point. Petre, for the purpose of scouring, with boat6, the St. Mary’s river. A Philadelphia Quaker, in a communication, dated the 18th ult. addressed to his * friend Poulson.” deprecates the use of an armed force in suppressing that nefarious traffic, and affects to “believe, much of the evil, if not all, might be prevented by the government enjoining on the civil authority and the citizens to ^particularly vigilant in bringing to justice any who might be detected."’ To tins invidious insinuation, that government secretly^xtC es the slave trade, by relaxing tiie laws agains : it, it may be remarked, that the civil authority in Georgia need no admonition from the jqa;si dent to do their duty—indee^ such a recommen dation would be answet^d with disdain and ab- iorrence. To suppose Ihem guilty of negiect ng to punish infractions of every illicit trade, esneciairy-of one inimical to sound policy and humanity, such an attack on their honor and. noral'ty that, had it proceeded from any source other than tha^of deceptive aud malicious Qua kerism, the prolongation of life would to them lave been matter of regret.

Twenty-eight sail of vessels, principally .Ame ricans,- went ashore at St. Pie-res, (Mart.) ; a French frigate, which lately brought out the new Intendaut, made a harbor with others among the Saints,^and Was obliged to rut away all her masts ; some small craft, among winch was a fine coppered schooner, belonging to Mr. King, of Guadaloupe, went ashore and was dashed to atoms. The wrecks of small houses were float ing down the streets at llassaterre. the whole of Sunday night and the following Monday, when the gale abated. Some considerable loss has been sustained by those who held perishable ar ticles in those stores, which were mostly expos ed. The schooner Highflyer, of and from Bal timore, with flour, soid for cash, aud the captain demanded his clearance ; but he was refused after repeated applications ; the did! uit v arose from the presumption that he had the proceeds of her cargo in cash on board. This island (say Guadaloupe) is in wretched state of stagnation in business, and is not likely to improve as long as heavy duties on import and export, with the other embarrassments in trade exists. The po verty and greedy disposition of the petty officers of government, throws a stianger uudsr a thou sand impositions. Among the passengers who arrived at Nor folk -last week, in the British ship Lady M 4 Worth, from London, is Madame Maria Lou isa Josephine Vauthier,a relation of the celebrat ed Madame Lavalette. Madame Vauthier, we understand, will proceed immediately to New- York, at which place she expects to meet Ma dame Lavalette, who was to sail from France for New-York, about the last of August. From late Calcutta paper*. Calcutta, March 28. During the neguciation of the treaty of peace between the Rajah of N&paul and the British gov ernment, it appeared the former had lost about 1000 of his best troops, in the different actions with the English army. Thq ships lately arrived from America have imported bullion to the amount of live lacks of dollars. The re-establishment of peace having render ed the presence of the British troops, in the drea ry and unwholesome positions lately occupied i>v then: in the hills, no longer necessary, th$ various divisions of the army, serving on the north-east frontier, ha,ve broken up, and re turned within the healthful limits of the com pany’s provinces.

Paris, 9th August, 1816, (Faxbourg St. Ger main, place dc L’Abbape^ or Rue de Funttr- berg, wYo. 8 tenj government, a branch of trade, which, ac cording to Quakerism, their conscieiiftejtpproves and practice. i«a> rendered familiar, is placing' them in the odious light of obsequious sycophants of an infamous administration, ffe who can ap ply sucli reflections to an enlightened and high- minded people, besides evincing a total ignor ance of human nature, discovers an illiberaiitv bordering on malice. But this is not the only point on which his uconsistency is apparent. At the same time that he represents the pliancy with which the inhabitants of this state might be induced to put a perpetual interruption to the traffic above men tioned, he accuses them of employing proctors, n the northern states, for tiie purpose of kidnap ping free persons of color! Indeed, in his par oxism of rancor, he appears to have lost sight of reason, and to be wandering in a chaos ot un- concucted ideas. He shews an absolute unac- quaiutance with every trait that distinguishes the southern characf. . It is not pretended that tve have not our foibles as well as other people, and a number of profligate individuals, scattered throughout our society; but that penurious economy, which dis tinguishes, and, in many countries, has render ed our more northern brethren proverbial, is totally unknown in the southern states; where the generosity anil openness of the human heart ire co-equal with the fertility of the soil and mildness of the climate. The southern people are in no want of slaves, and are especiailv averse to these of the north; but, were they otherwise, the difficulty of a common trading vessel entering kidnapped individuals into our ports, must not only render such a traific hazard ous but impracticable. The persons whose fate humanity deplores, and Quakerism carps at, are not disposed of in the United States, but traf ficker! away ..either at the Danish and Dutch "West-Indies or the Spanish ports iu.South Ame rica, where the scarcity of handicraft men en hances the value of American negroes. The truth of this circumstance is no secret in the north, and of if r-he subject of these remarks could not be ignorant. But Quakerism breathes a sanguinary spirit of hostility towards us; and, far different from the beneficent and useful en deavors of the Moravians, their iabors tend to make the objects of their false commisseration unhappy, and augment their native ferocity. No invention has been left unemployed to accom plish, under the cloak of sanctity, this purpose. Quakers, professing themselves heralds ol the A1 mig| 1 tVvriiave, at different times, been sent amongstuson inissionsof blood. It is not eight months since one, declaring himself inspired, was committed to the prison of this city, for se- ditionary practices. All their attempts howev er, are unavailing—we are at present sufficient ly fortified against them—anu no danger is en tertained fer the future; as the principles of Quakerism can never be extended beyond the existing paucity of its followers. We will conclude by merely observing, that no recommendation from the executive to the public authorities and citizens of this state is necessary for the enforcement of the abolition act; but, as our seacoast, at several points, is de-. ficient in inhabitants, and there are bad men in this as well as every other community who would hesitate little to execute any lucrative project when there is the least prospect of impunity, what, we before we recommended to government, we now repeat, is the best calculated to frustrate the exertions and expectations of. the neighbor ing Spaniards. have been made.—ib.
