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

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 !

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

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.

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.

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.

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
