THE intelligence received this week, relative to aflitirs in South America, is as contradictory as at any former period. The information communicated from St. Thomas's, describes the cause of the Insurgents, as far from being in that flourishing condition, which pre vious accounts had represented. Dissections are fast multiplying among the leaders, who arc united by none of those ties, which usually bind men embarked in cntcrprizes, of "great pith and moment." (hi the other hand the intelligence from Trinidad, both of a public and private nature, represent the efforts of Brion on the Orinoko, against the Royal fleet, as havieg been crowned with the most complete success. If we believe all he says in his dispatches to Bolivar, the courage of the Royalists has forsaken them, and he has but" to .erne, see and overcome." He claims a victory on the . 1 1 of Illy, where five Insurgent gun boats, comman i Cspt. Dias, encountered nineteen vessels of TflP NATIONAL REGISTER. the Royalists and beat them all ! Indeed the whole of the dispatches are so over-done that we cannot but suspect the veracity of their stateuaects. Parlia'.neut meets for the dispatch of businers on Wednesday the 517th of January. The Proclamation for assembling it on that day appeared in the Gazette of lest night. The Duke of York has, it is said, expressed a deter mination to resign his situation of Commander in Chief. It is believed that at the last Council which was held, this important change was finally settled. His Grace's, nearer proximity to the throne by the lamented death of her Royal Highness the Princess Charlotte has ren dered this measure one of great propriAy. The Prussians are still labouring or the difficult work of forming a constitution. The Cammission which was sonic time ago appointed to enquire into, and re port on the subject, have recommended that, except in the Rhenish provinces, the Old l'ivincial States should be re-established in their old rights ; and then, that modifications suited to the age, should be made in them with their own consent, and by their own ad vice. This is a whimsical mode of proceeding, and leads one strongly to suspect the sincerity of those who recommend it. Those " old rights" which they speak of; wholly excluded from the assemblies of the State all persons except Nobles, l'relatcs and Magistrates ; the convulsions which the country has sustained have been insensibly producing a change in this system by which (as they are designated in an article in the Berlin pa pers) " philosophers, profi•ssors, advocates and boors" have been permitted to participate in the administration of affairs. This change, however irregularly made. must undoubtedly been more favourable to general liberty than the old system ; and we cannot but look suspicious ly on those men who express an opinion favourable to liberty, and vet recommend, as a preliminary step to throw the States back into that state of comparative slavery from which accidental circumstances had re lieved them. The Brussels Papers of the 21st. contain the follow ing particulars of a disagreement between the King of the Netherlands and the Prince of Orange, his son : " Every one knows that his Royal Highness is charg ed with the direction of the War department. M. Colts was placed under him with the title of Commissary General. It is said, that M. Goltz submitted to the King a plan concerning the officers on half-pay, that the result of this plan was, that 42 of those officers who were worthy of recommendation from their distinguish ed services, and who, on that amount, had been parti cularly recommended by his Royal Highness, were placed at the disposition of the Colonial Minister, to be sent to Batavia. That the Prince considered this mode of placing them on active service inconsistent with the protection and kindness he had manifested towards them. That it appeared to him, if he had the supreme direction of the War Department, it was but common decorum to ask his opinion, and that M. Goltz had entirely failed in that respect. It is said that in con sequence, he has entreated the King, as a &your, that he may have no more intercourse with M. Goltz, by his Majesty giving a dismissal to one or the other. II is added, that the King desired to rye the Prince, to give a verbal explanation upon the subject ; but that the latter, fearing he should hesitate between the dic tates of honour and his respectful affection for his Ma jesty, entreated that he would take his request into consideration, and signify his sovereign will previously. It is certain that the King has accepted the resigna tion of all the offices held by the Prince his son. We arc assured, however, that after this, these august per. sons had an interview at the residence of our beloved Princess, who shares with the house of Nassau the love and the respect of the inhabitants of the kingdom"— Journal de La Belgique. Paris Papers of Tuesday and Wednesday List, were received yesterday ; their contents are not very impor tant. No public business has taken place in the Chamber of Deputies, except the appointment of a Central Committee, to examine the Prgjet of the Law respecting the Press. Apprehensions are felt along the coasts of France, as well as those of Spain and Por tugal, lest the Algerine fleet, now at sea, should com municate the plague. The Board of Health at Mar seilles has issued orders for enforcing a most rigorous quarantine in teat port towards vessels, coming from whatever quarter they mar ; and similar precautions arc to be forthwith adopted in every French port. It appears by a letter from the French Consul at Cadiz, that these pestiferous freebooters board every yeesel they meet, and make prize all that suits them. Letters from Gibraltar of the 10th instant, state that the Algerine plague squadron had made its ap pearance in the Bay, but was not permitted to anchor within leech of the guns of the fi,rtress, and theta guard • ship had been dispatched to keep it at a proper distance. The ruck continues very healthy, abundant showers of rain have &lien rather earlier than usual, and been succeeded by a course of very fine weather.

Part of the 35th Regiment arrived from. Malta, in the Issabella trans port, on the 4th inst. and being put under quarantine, had not landed at the date of our letters. On the suliject of South American affairs, the 3lorn- Lag Chronicle seems to imagine, that a spirit of avarice pervades this nation, sufficiently powerful to overcome principles of justice, when brought into a compe tition with commercial advantages. That Journal labours to establish in the breasts of Englishmen, a thirst after the trade of South America. without any regard to the dishonour of injuring an ally or friend.— It is not denied, and never has been denied, that a greater degree of commerce exists between this country and the Sranish colonies, than was formerly the case, because it is known that a trade has been opened be tween some of the British ports, and those under the dominion of the Court of Spain. Bat although Great Britain enjoys a greater intercourse with South Ame rica at present than formerly, it is far from being cer tain that this would continue to be the ease if Spanish America was emancipated and thrown open to the Con. tinent of Europe and ports of North America. We have accounts from the North-west country of Canada Lord Selkirk has been held to bail, by the Government Commissioners, in the sum of 6,0001. to appear in Montreal on the Ist of next March. The North-west Partners however,refitsed to become bound to prosecute. They assign as a reason for this, that his Lordship ought to have been sent down a prisoner, upon the heavy charges alledged against him. The prosecution, therefore, if carried on at all, must be ut the suit and expense of Government. Captains Ma they and D'Orsonnes, and Messrs. Allen, WDonell, Pampluin, M'Leod, and Bruce, in the service of Lord SELKIRK, were also held to bail, in different sums, front 4001. to 3,5001. It was expected Lord Selkirk would return to Canada before the end of the season. The following letter is from a British Officer, who left town last spring to join the South American Insur gents. Such letters, we believe, might be written by every one who has been deluded into the notion that the service of the revolters is one of comfort cm; wealth.— SOUTH AMERICA-ON TIIF BANKS OF THE OHARA. PICKS MATURIN, 6TII SEPT. 1817. " I arrived among the Patriots at Yrapa about the latter end of July. While we remained there we got nothing but salt fish for our rations, and a bottle of rum a day. From Yrapa we were sent in an open lent to La Pica de Maturin. From thence we walked to this place, where we arrived after a most fatiguing journey. For three days, the half of each day's march was through mud, often through water up to the waist, and obliged to carry our knapsacks. At night we were gem:sally annoyed by wild beasts, and always by mus quitoes. On our arrival here we had no reason to complain of the way in which were received. Indeed, for the first week we were treated well enough ; but it did not last long : they soon seemed to get tired of us, and at last we got nothing to eat but what we could buy for ourselves, and we get no pay, for they have none to give. Beef is plenty enough here, but no money to buy it nor cooking pots, and we cannot cook it for our selves. There is no such thing as salt or spices of any kind to be had. Owing to the uncleanliness occae sinned by all kinds of filth being thrown about, what with the bad living and constant rains, we had not been long here before we were all attacked by the fiver. I was so ill for ten days that I could hardly move, and had nearly given way to it; but I roused myself, and have almost recovered. One of our com panions is still so ill, that he can hardly move across the room, hut I hope to be able to send him away. Ano ther, after being seine time ill of the fever, broke out in sores like a Lazarus. In short, it is impossible in a letter to describe all the misery we have suffered. There is no regular force throughout the country, nor have we any disciplined soldiers, and the mo& of fighting is always in ambuscades. Indeed the Patriot force never ventures into the plains, unless when they think they can surprise their enemies, Of the eight of us who left St. Thomas's, in two days, I shall, probably be the only one left to fight for the cause of the Patriots, and as soon as I can get a passage to Trinidad, I shall be off too. " Whoever lives a few months among the people of this country, will try to get away from them as soon as he can. They ilo not want any assistance from threign ers, and look with a jealous eye on every one who comes among them."... _ _ _ Th — e Prince Leopold, after the funeral, being pressed to sleep at Windsor by the Royal Family, declined, saying, "I must return to-night, or I shall never re-. turn 1' Timm.
