- FRENCII PAPERS. STOCKHOLM, AUGUST S. e l. The Diet of Nor Way has allotted an annual sum of 1,407,100 crowns for the expenses of the yearn 1816, 1617, 1818 Out of this sum the - King' will have 64,000 crowns, the Prince Royal 8‘2,000, and Prince' Oscar 16,000. During the time of the stay: of the Prince Royal in Norway, all Isis discourses in fublie were eery flaunting for the Norwegians, and particularly for the representatives of the people. It was remarked that, 'during his discourse at the Diet, he made use of the term Scandinavian Peninsula, the ancient denomination, which . also included Denmark. The BaillieChriitie, President tithe Diet, employed in his answer - the expression Rwthern Peninsula.— 'Prince Oscar has been arpointed Vicrroy of Norway. Whilst Nor Way was United to Den Mark, the expenses of the first of these lauschims amounted to only 900,000 crowns, but lit, present they are 1400,000 crowns. An Ordinance has appeared•. at Christiania, con. ' taming modifications and dispOsitiolis relative to the armed force of the kingdom of Norway. The armed force of the kingdom is composed of forces by land and sea : the land force consists of .troops of the line and militia. The number of the troops of the line is fixed at 12,000, but only 2000 are enlisted. On the Ist of this month two Russian brigs passed the S mind, coming from Cronstadt for Archang4 with a.tillery and other necessaries for the equipping ot,oz frigates. MADRID, AUGUST Is. His Maj-sty will arrive to-day at this capital. We are assured positively by advices from Brazil, that the departure (4 the Princesses for spain is fixed for the end of July, immediately after the coronation of their fathcr,•the new King of Portugal. A circular of the Minister of the Finances explains again the means to be employed in reclaiming debts by the Spanish subjects against the French Govern ment. His Majesty declares, that he will protect with all his power demands f•nunded upon the treaties. A detailed instruction upon this subject has been pub lished, for the purpose, of destroying every pretension which should not be conformable to the tenour tit these treaties and of the Convention of Paris. LAUSANNE, AUGUST 20. The Emperor of Austria is preparing for ajontney to Dresden. The conjecture that therd may thence arise new family ties between the houses of Austria and SAsony, is daily acquiring more probability. PARIS, AUGUST sO. Saturday the capital presented to the King only the firstlings of the homage it owed him; but yester day, the august Monarch's birthday was celebrated with a perfection, a unanimity, a spirit of concord, a sentiment of happiness, and an aspect of pleasure and seem icy, which gave it an inexpressible charm. Thefek of the King was announced at six o'clock in the morning by discharges of artillery, which were r.pta!ed :t eight o'clock. Before mass the King received the Diplomatic Body, the Mayors of Paris, the Marshals, and other persona;;es of distinction. Atter mass his Majesty appeared on the balcony of the Glass Gallery, sur-1 reunded by the Royal Family, in the midst of the acclamations of au immense crowd, who did not cease to assemble about the Thuilleries during the whole day. Tile concourse of distinguished persons who carne to pay. their respects to the King was so great, that they could hardly enter 'he apartments. At six o'clock precisely the grand dinner com menced. The King, Monsieur, Madame the Duchess of Angouleme, the Duchess of Berri, the Dikes of Angouleme and Berri, were present. The persons admitted entered successively at one door, and atter saluting the Royal Family went out by another. In the evening the Thuilleries, the public edifices, and all other piaces, were illuminated. The 'Elba bitants of the Foubourg St. Antoine celebrated the King's fete this year in the same manner as in 1814 and 1815. They danced in the open streets or under decorated tents in the squares and crossways. there Mere colours at every window. They write from Reihel, that the Russian troops garrisoned in the department of Ardennes offered to assist gratuitously with their waggons and hones at the harvest, which is very rich in those parts. PRIVATE LETTER. 6 PARIS, AVOISIT 66 I have recently had many opportunities of wit nesslng the extraordinary incivility to which English visitors are at present exposed in Paris. The baba. eiour of the military has in many instances become almost insupportable; and I am sorry to add, that their are encouraged apparently by many of their su pertors in offering every insult to the natives of Great Britain. Nor can one fail to remark the countenance which this conduct receives Irom the subordinate agents of the Police; but knowing. as I.do that it is the wish of the Royal Family of Franco that every attention should be paid to British subjects, I have been most aaxious to trace the motive of the system complained of, especially as it evidently flows from a different source than that of mere national preju. dice. The result of my inquiries is, that there exists a party about the throne hostile to its interests, and extremely active in privately counteracting the wishes and will of the King. This party seems formi dable from the influence it appears to. possess in the subordinate departments of the state and military service. As long as the Bourbons continuaktaretain so large a portion of the Bonapartean school about them, the difficulties with which his Majesty has to struggle w ill necessarily increase. 64 If any proo{.were wanting of what I have stated it will be found in the following narrative of a scene which occurred on Sunday evening last, at the en trance of the Palace : a , It has been an ancient custom with the French Kings to grant admission to the public, under certain limitations, on days of great public rejoicing. Last Sunday being the day fixed for celebrating the birth day of his Majesty, the King was pleased to notify ids wish that this indulgence should be revived, and an official notice was given that ,the Royal Fathily would dine in public. 14 The Deke de la Chatre, who is the Minister of the Palace, invited those who might be desirous of availing themselves of this favour to make applica tion within a certain time at his office. The applica tions, you may suppose, were very numerous; and. as the number to * itdmiuetwas of necessity ted, a report got abroad thit the Ella had been particularly favoured in the distribution. • His MAjeity had, however, given directions that a certain dumber of admissions should be placed at the disposal of •the chiefs of battalions, so that the military might partake of the indulgence alluded to. ft is evident, however, from what followed; that great pains had been taken by some persons to impre ss upon the minds of the common soldiers that an im proper partiality had been shewn to strangers. The tickets invited the company that arrived in carriages to be set down at the Centre gate of the Palace, in the Court of the Carrousel, by half.past five o'clock : those who arrived on foot were direeted to a different gate. .-This arrangement was extremely proper; but you will observe how it was carried intoegecution. " By five o'clock the company . hegan to arrive; the gates, however, not being open, the ladies in par ticular were desirous of remaining in their carriages until they could draw up t this, however, was refused on the part of the Police and other Officers stationed upon the spot, add the company were obliged to alight and place themselves opposite the iron grating, at which it was stated they would be admitted as soon as the King was seated. By half-past five there were about 200 ladies and gentlemen assembled at this gate, exposed to the weather; and the pressure had already created much alarm and inconvenience to the female visitors. 44 It was understood that his Majesty's taking his seat at table would be announced 4y a discharge of artillery. This took place at twenty minutes before six. The public expecting the gates would be imme diately thrown open, the presume increased, and the situation of about 150 well-dressed ladies may be better conceived than described. Shrieks were heard on all sides, and many supplicated to be released Iron the crowd, which, however, had become impos. sible. It would really appear as if the military had been waiting for this moment in order to increase the difficulties to which the visitors were exportd, as an officer of the royal grenadiers rushed out of the gate, fought his way through the crowd, and in less than ten minutes returned with a file of grenadiers, who were marched through the centre of the visitors, and after arriving at the gate were ordered to make the crowd retire. This order they proceeded to carry into effect with the butt-ends of their muskets, not. withstanding prayers, remonstrances, and entreaties. Many ladies lost part of their dresses, their jewels, and ornaments; and the soldiers appeared to delight in their situation, observing to each other with a fero cious smile, 4 ler Areas tour rim' alluding to the af. terpiece which was got up at the Theatre des VA. rtet•_s as a ridicule of the British; one of them 1 heard threaten, that if the crowd did not retire, he would run his bayonet through them. " As soon as the soldiers had succeeded in obtain ing access to the gate, all the military who were in possession of tickets rushed forward with their ladies, and were immediately admitted ; the number so intro duced was, as far as I can recollect, about 200. The English remonstrated, but to no purpose, with the military guard at this shameful partiality. It was now half-past six ; when, to increase the confusion, the picquet guard which was to relieve that stationed inside the Palace-yard chose to present itself at the gate where we were waiting, insisting upcwadniission that way ; in vain did the ladies and gentlemen re monstrate. and request them to seek admission by some other gate, of which there were many. The guard pressed through the crowd. and in about ten minutes after, the relieved picquet forced its way out in the same manner. I have omitted to mention, that during the period the company was detained. a great number of officers kept forcing their way in and out of the gate the only answer from whom chat could be obtained was, that they were upon duty. At last, as near seven o'clock as possible, the officers inside the iron grate began to admit the company the impatience which prevailed to be relieved from the pressure induced many to increase it by endea vouring to obtain preferable admission, and the scene which was now exhibited was truly distressing. The officers refused to admit mere than one person at a time, and the iron gratirg was successively closed, so that many ladies aho had hold of the arms of their husbands. and others under the protectibn of their friends, were by main strength separated and pressed back into the crowd, many having their arms and legs dreadfully bruised. I saw the hand of one lady streaming with blood, and nearly cut through by the iron grate, which the officers had closed upon her.— About thirty at most, therefore, of those who were so admitted were introduced into the dinner-room, the remainder were told that the King had risen from table, and that they were too late, and must return. 's The pressure, however, at the door of the saloon into which the visitors were admitted before they passed into the dining-room, made it impossible for them to withdraw ; and one of the King's household, observing their situation, very kindly interfered, and the military at the door were ordered to let the com pany into. the saloon, where they were able to obtain breathing room. D uring/ my progress from the iron - grating to the saloon, I addressed myself to many of ficers and others, complaining of the treatment we had received : the only answer I could obtain was, that it was of no avail to complain to them, as they. were not the cause of it: not one of them, however, attempted to justify it. The number in he saloon, I suppose, could.not be less than about 200 persons; the ladies suffering much from the heat occasioned by the pressure, and the bruises many had received. 'We had not, however, been more than five minutes in this saloon before orders came to clear it, and tl e company were immediately thrust out into the open air upon a large balcony and terrace that look into the Thuillerie gardens. The insults of the military were not confined to the palace -gates; for, upon tak. ing my family in an open carriage to see the illumi nations, our ears were frequently assailed by parties of unarmed soldiers who were parading the streets with offensive language, and the epithet of Gsdtins."

VG suspect strongly, by an article from Strasburg!), that the recent commotion between the Prussians and Austrians was a little snore serious than the German Papers gave out, although perhaps not quite so san guinary as the Parisian accounts of it. The Mayor of Strasburgh is authorized to take very summary steps to bring all future agitators to punishment. An article from Naples, dated August Sd, men tions the presence of the American Squadron in that harbour, having on board Mr. PINCKNEY. the new American Minister to Constaztin,ple ; but nothing like a hostile disposition on their parts towards the Neapolitans is alluded to. .. By another letter from Naples. however, dated on the 6th August, which will be found in another part of our Paper, it appears as if the Americans were seriously threatening to enforce restitution of an im mense sum of money of which they were plundered in the reign of Musia, of thieving memory. We apprehend that Madame MURAT ought to pay at least a share of this claim ; and then Joni% BONA ?Mtn, now in America, who was some time King of Naples, must be set down for his quota. Apropos of this worthless family: we find tilAt JEROME BONA palm is travelling through Europe as the Prince de Montfort. This is a mere we de perry, we presume, and not recognized by any person beyond the rank of his own valet. STRASBURG, AUGUST 17. The Prefect has addresso the following circular letter to the Mayors of the Department : " Ma. MAvoa—l am informed that the soldiers who are re called, as well to make a part of the legion as to be Incorporated in the other regiments which are organizing at Strasburgh, do not repair to their destination, and in general do not join tiU they have been compelled by the gees Warmed.. Tufa repugnance, It is said, must be attributed to the absurd reports spread by some foreign journals, and that circulated in the country by some vile and obscure enemies of public tranquillity, that fresh troubles are about to break out In Europe, and that France is raising troops only to place them it the disposal of a foreign Power. You must neglect nothing, Mr. Mayor, to remove from the minds of those under your jurisdiction, impressions which are as unreasonable as hurtful. 4, Make them perfectly understand that the organisation of the army can have no convection with the fear of a war, the impro bability of which is *hewn by all the'ealeulatious of polities, but that it wholly arises from the Lecessity of forming a military force which may one day replace the allied troops, whose abode on the frostier, of the kingdom has been rendered necessary, for vitae time, by the misfortunes of the times; and that the pru dent slowness with which this organisation is effected, ought suf ficiently to prove bow ill•founded such reports are. But it is print pally, Mr. Mayor, towards the individuals who propagate and spread them, that you must d:reet all your attention. Em play to discover them all the means of INI voila/Ito which are In your power, to check them with severe and laflexible rigours.— Do not fear to employ too much firmness. I approve, before hand, all the measures that you may take. " It is same at length to stop this torrent of absurd reports of alarming new., by which some ' , retches pretend to excite new troubles, and span with impunity, with the police and with the dignity of Governments. You wW please to give to this letter the greatest publicity, and to have It read two Sundays follow/nig, after divine service." ROME. AUGUST S. An - Edict of his Holiness ordains that confiscations shall no longer take place to the profit of the Holy Office in matters which concern the faith. This measure, which is useless for the States of his Holi ness where the Inquisition no longer presents the scandalous process of confiscation, is more partial. larly claimed for Spain and Portugal. It is to the enlightened mind of bis Excellency Count Funchal, the Minister of Portugal, that the honour is due of having induced this important decision of his Ho liness:. NAPLES, AUGUST s. We have In our port an AMerican vessel, and two other ships of war, of the same nation. On board the vessel is the Ambassador of the Uaited States, who is going to Constantinople. it is said that the two ships of war will join the forces destined against the Barbary States. • MUNICH, AUGUST 17. Since the conclusion of the peace this capital his considerably increased in extent and population.— The late Viceroy of Italy is building a palace, which will cost above a million and a half of francs. The French refugees who reside here, under borrowed names, particularly add to the population. HAGUE, AUGUST 23.
