Foreign . NEW-YORK, OCT. #5. I..1 TEST FROM E A GLA.\ D. The London Packet brings. pa pers to the lJlh ult. but they are on ly filled with localities uninteresting to the American reader. The vintage has been very abun dant throughout France, and an im mediate reduction of 50 per cent, on wines was expected at Bordeaux. Sir Thomas Hardy's squadron had sailed from Plymouth. Mr. Thornton, the new British minister to the Brazils, emharter on board the commodore's ship, the Superb. Sir Thomas, it is said, has sealed or ders, which are not to be opened till ? he reaches a certain latitude. Each ship is in tine fighting trim, being put upon the full* war establishment,; both as to seamen and marines, with an extra supply of stores. This (a London papers remarks) at a period of profound peace, bespeaks not on ly a Ions; and active service, but a distant station. PARIS, sr,FT. 9. A tetter from Brussels savs, that 7 the armament now preparing in the ports of Kngland, has caused some movement among the American ships in the ports the Netherlands. In consequence of intelligence they huve received from London, they are either sailing or preparing in all haste for their departure. The Phaeton frigate had arrived in 15 weeks from St. Helena. Bo naparte continued to live in the same secluded manner as he had done for Home time. From the JV. T. Evening Pott, Oct. S 5. By the arrival of the London Packet, in 39 days from London, we have received papers of that city to the 15th September, inclusive. ? They contain very little of interest ? no news, nothing doing, or offer ing. ? The Time 8 of thv 14th, con tains a long account of Hunt's entry into London, and the dinner given on the occasion ; at which, about 400 persons sat down to the table. ? J Among the toasts drank, were the following ^ ? Mr. Hunt gave h i togst a ? "The only sqoufte of all legitimate power ? tin people." ? Tune : " See the conquering hero comes." " The next toast was: "Univ$r-j sal suffrage, annual parliaments, and vote by baliot ? the undoubted right: of every Briton." uIt w&t received ; with three times three, and was fol towed hy f o tune of u Ca ircr. **< Toast ? " The immortal memo ry of Reformers, men, women and children, who were massacred at Manchester on the 10th of August" Tune : " The Land of the Leal." "Toast ? "May arms be taken from those who abuse them, and given to those who have the courage to use them."' Tune: "The Marseillois Hymn." Hunt made his triumphal entry into London on the 13th. It is stat ' ed that 200,000 people were present : the roads, for nine miles from town, were completely bio wed up by those who went out to meet him. He ar rived in a landau, preceded by a flag* inscribed " Hunt, the heroic! champion of Liberty." Ilealijghted at the Crown and Anchor, where he partook of a public dinner, attended by three or four hundred persons.? The description of this scene occn IViea several columns of the papers, Loifdon has seldom witnessed such t bustle on any occasion ; and 1he day ended without any riot. The troops in Denmark were in motion,, in consequent*, it is said in the London papers, of bloody and . revolutionary scenes in Sweden : The Dublin Commercial Gazette, of Wednesday last, says, "On Sun day night the guards at ' the castle were trebled, the pieces of artillery on the spot were prepared for any 'emergency, and a strong body of liors* was ordered to patrole on the Nan s lload. Similar precautions were taken nt the last mentioned town. The Guards were there doub led, and the staff of the ftv i U I ;\i * tyiJilifV wa.s ordered on duty. It U also assserted, in letters from Queen's county, that several nightly meeting have taken place in the neighborhood of Mount Mellick, of persons in I arms." It is said that our ships of war, on the peace establishment, are in future to shift their stations, so as not to re main more than a year ou one sta tion. Thus, if they begin in the Channel, they are to serve one year in the Vf^est- Indies, and one year at St Helena ; or one year in the Mediter ranean, and one year in South Ame rica. By this regulation our officers and Seamen will be more inured to the different climates, and obtain a more perfect knowledge of mari time geography. Extract of a letter received in Lon* don dated Madrid, Sept. 1. The affair of the Floridas must necessarily # draw upon our cabinet the attention of all the powers who have any thing to gain or lose in the revolutions of which Spanish Ame rica is at this moment the theatre, or may so become on the slightest signal from Washington. This af fair is inexplicable, even here, where the principal actob* of the piece per form their parts before ouf eyes. It is said, Sir H. Wellesey declares that England has nothing to do with the refusal to ratify this treaty ; at least, that Ambassador pretty openly disavows the part which his court was apposed to have taken in this strange negotiation, which has Ire come abortive almost as soon as it was concluded. It is added, that the French Ambassador, in the name of his Christian Majesty, charitably advises the Spanish Cabinet not to hazard a rupture, the consequences of which may - gradually produce a general war* The opinion of all sensible men in this country is, that, by refusing the ratification, and there by furnishing a legitimate pretext for the ambitious policy of the United States, his majesty is about to sign the loss, or, in other words, the emancipation of all his colonies. The departure of the ex|>edition, the preparations for which have for a long time cost 4,000,000 of francs per month is a thing no longer thought of. Letters from Andalusia state, that the troops are marched off in haste tow ards j?stremadura. Such is the obstin ite determination to com* mit to the waves a multitude of un* fortunate beings, that it is still hoped to re-organize this armament, already perhaps afflicted with the plague, in the port of Lisbon, if the Portuguese consent! Senseless reports which merely prove that here it is believed that evtery thing ought to yield to the infallibility of absolute power ! CHARLESTON, NOVEMBER 8.

Serious riots had occurred at Glas cow and Paisley, which bad been quelled, however, without the loss of any lives. LONDON, SEPTEMBER If. A letter from Madrid, dated as late as the 88th ult. states as follows : "It is generally understood that there is a schism in the Spanteh Ca binet on the subject of the Florida Treaty. The majority of the Minis ters are said to be in favor of the rati fication ; but that two or three iwfi-, viduals, possessing the greatest in fluence with the King, are opposed to it, and have persuaded him not to give the Treaty his ultimate appro bation*^ Other accounts re-assert, that Mr. Forsyth the American Minister, had actually quitted Madrid, and was on his road to Cadiz* from whence, it is said, he will take shipping. for ' the United States* We do not place I any reliance upon this part of the intelligence. ? It is stated that 4000 English are expected at Genoa, to form the gar rison of that town. By this it ap pears, that all the maritime arrange ments of various Governments are directed against the Barharv Po^ ers. ? r NOVEMBER t5. Tbe Hamburgh papers of the 10th instant, 4tate, that the Treaty finally arranging all the differences that subsisted betw?*n Sweden and Denmark, under the mediation of Great-Britain, was signed at Stock holm on the 1st of this month, at) the house of Lord Strangford, the: British Ambassador. The King cf| Sweden is to pay to Denmark,! Three Millions of Dollars, (Ham-, burgh Bank) in ten annual payments ; and also 4 per cent, interest, to be paid , quarterly, for the principal sums remaining unpaid. The con duct of Great- Britain, in this deli-> cate negotiation, seems to have met* with the concurrent approbation of the contacting parties. This morning we received t*arir paper srof Monday last. The King's health is^aid to be perfectly re-esta blished frofn bis recent alight indis position. Ah article from Frankfort notices * report which prevailed On the Ex change of that town, that the King of Swtedeti; (Dernadotte) had beeii shokjr The same mmor is reported in a Bremen paper ? but in neither is any circumstance of time or place assigned to give it consistency.?.' The Quotidienne ami the Gazette de France, throw doubts upon the truth of the story; and the Hamburgh papers which arrived this morning to the 10th inst. contain articles of in telligence from Btockholm, of sore cert a date as the 8d inst. on which day the King of Sweden, accompani ed by his son Prince Oscar, and suite, set out in good health from his Capital on his projected tour into the interior of the Kingdom. We should hope, therefore, that the rumor which prevailed at Frankfort, of the ansa* sination of the King was unfounded. The persecutions of the Jews seems to increase in Germany, and have even extended to Denmark* Several Jewish families hate wisely determined to transfer their wealth! and industry from Germany to France! and othef countries, where, thank! God, religion .is no lodger made a, cloak for gratifying the worst pas , sions of the most depraved hearts l I Jews born in France are .entitled to f all the privileges of citizenship, on* der the present Charter of the Flench Monarchy. A letter from St. Helena quotes the prices of certain articles, in the month of July last, $s follows, viz. "Beef, Mutton and Veal, Is. Sd. a pound; a Turkey, 80s.; a Goose, 81s. ; a gown Fowl, 10. ? a Chicken, 9s. ; ami a Duck, 10s.? Eggs might he had so low as 9s. per dozen ; Cabbages (in abundance, we must suppose) at nine pence s piece; and I'urnips and Carrots, la. per dozen, bread was 3d. per pound, and verj ?;ood Cape Madeira Wine 7s. fid. per gallon. Konaparte was yen well, and his Palace nearly finished Domestic. CHUJCOTRK, (OHIO,) OCT. -30. The United Suites Bank vs? rlVie < State Officers. ? Messrs. John L. Harper anil Thomas Orr, two of the officers who executed the warrant of the Auditor, for the collection of tlie tax imposed by the legislature on the Offices of Discount and Dejiosite of the Bank of the United States located in this State, were, on Monday last, taken into custody, by the deputy marshal,. ~oo a capias, Jc/v a trespas vi et avmis, in taking said tax out of the hanking house established here. Bail was required of thetn to the amount of 8$i0,850 each ; but they, not willing to involve their friends in any trouble reftised giving any. They w ere then takeu to the prison in this place, J where they are now in | close confinement. We are inform^ ed that a writ has also been issued against Ralph Osborn, auditor of the State, which was probably executed yesterday. ?> The overplus of $20,355, of which notice has been taken in some of the papers, and which appears not to liave been considered in requiring the. amount of bail, w as returned to the Branch and by them received, on the tetmn of the officers from Columbia. Washington, oct. 27. The question has been taken in several states "recently, by 4the true democratic test of universal popular suffrage, on tine subject of authoriz ing Conventions of the people to ?mend or revise their respective con stitutions : and t lie question has been uniformly decided 'in the. negative. ? In general, there already appears among the People an attachment to* their Institutions as they stand, and an objection to laying hands upon them, even to improve them. FROM GIBRALTAR. The BrigOlympia, Captain Ruth* j eVford, arrived yesterday from Gib- j rnUnr. ? Capt Rutherford has polite* ly furnished us with the following particulars for publication : " A Spanish frigate had imported the Yellow Fever into Cadiz, from the j Havana, which Was spreading ra pidly over Spain, aqd made its ap pearance within 8 miles of the gates of Gibraltar, which WewJ closed on the ist of September, against all communication with Spain; the plague was also raging on the coast of Bail wry, with which the commu nication was stopped. Our treaty with Spain was not ratified. A great personage was coming over to the U? States, as Ambassador Extraor dinary. The Olympia has Dis patches on board from Spain to our government $ also about MO letters from our squadron, merchants, and others, in tl* Mediterranean." \ OCTOBER *8. For the information of those who have forwarded to the General Land Office claims for Military Bounty Lands, we ate authorised to state, that the lands appropriated for that purposn in Illinois and Missouri (north) having been distrilmted sev eral months ago, no more Patetits can be issued until the Lottery for Military Lands in Arkansas shall be prepared; and that, probably, that Ijottery will not be drawn nntil after the next Session of Congress.

A constitution lias been repotted to the Convention of Maine l> v their committee. The Boston Ceutinel observes that the draft reported i* modelled on the salutary provisions of the Constitutions of the U. States and Massachusetts, and that whom it deviates from them, the bi^s is democratic. In one particular, this bias is perhaps carried too far ? wo mean in that feature which requires in candidate #, for public offices, as well as in those who elect tliem, no other property qualification than that J hey shall not be paupers. The men selected *by the people of M*ane to frame a Constitution, are doubtless enlightened and virtue us, and, fit m our knowledge of some of them, vo have every reason to expect a sound republican charter from theii hand- ; and if a provision such as the one Stated above has been repotted, wo hope it will undergo some modiii* - * tion; for, iu its present unbounded extent, it would bfc stretching the democratic principle* beyond a just and salutary point. It is stated in the New York pa pers, that Mr. dc Neuville, the Minister of Frauce, had received despatches from his government, which altered his intention of em barking io tire Stephanie, for his own couutryi NOVENBER 1. Interesting to adthurs oj Hooks, ?'c. in the United States. ? ?$ * we have reason to believe that the 4th section of the Act of Congress of 81 st May, 1790, " for t ho encourage - " ment of learning, by securing the ''copies of maps, charts, and book*, " to the authors and proprietors' of " such copies, during the times there* " in motioned," is but in few casesj complied with, and a full compliance is rendered indispensihle for securing copy rights by the first ami second sections of an act of the Syth of Ap?il, 1808, supplementary to the above, the section of the act lirst re ferred to, ia here published, for the benefit of authors, &c. , See.

Commodore Rodgers left New York on Tuesday last for the Lakes. It is, we understand, the purpose of this able officer to visit all the Navy Yards and depots on the several Lakes, and by personal inspection to make himself acquainted with their condition and management, as he is already, by a similar examination, with the state and operations of the naval establishments on the Northern sea hoard. The commanders of the .Navy Yards were unapprised of this visit, and the public service cannot fail to derive benefit from the obser vations of an officer so well qualified to judge correctly, and who occupies a station which will enable him, with his experienced colleagues, to apply to thti public advantage the knowl* edge acquired in his tour.
