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.

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.

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

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

for New-York, about the last of August.

During the neguciation of the treaty of peace
between the Rajah of N&paul and the British gov

1000 of his best troops, in the different actions
with the English army.

Gentlf.mkn—Mv former situation as consul-
general of the United States at Paris, having
made me thoroughly acquainted with all the
American prize cases brought before the courts
of this city from the countries lately under the
control of France ; arid there being now a pros
pect that the different powers by which this pro
perty was seized and sequestered, will enter in
to some arrangements with the United States for
the settlement of those claims, I beg leave to of
fer my services as your agent for their adjust
ment and recovery, sale and transfer. For this
purpose it will be necessary to send nie yom
powers of attorney, legalized in due form. It
is also my intention to take charge of any other
American commercial interests in relation to
this government, or its subjects—of affairs of li
tigation existing between them and American
citizens, and oi claims against the latter resid
ing in France., You may rely on my exertions
to promote your interests by every means in my
power ; and 1 ask no more for my services than
a very moderate commission or recompence.
I am, gentlemen, very respectfully, your most
obedient servant. D. B. \Varden.

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.
