GERMAN PAPERS. EXTRACT or A LETTER IMOD PARIS, DATED JUIN 2. 66 Sir Sidney Smith prosecutes here his humanel esertions for the abolition of the slavery of the Chris.' tians in Africa. He ha% had another letter printed from a correspondent atAlgiers, which, among other particulars, states, that the first negotiations with the Commander or the Dutch squadron had failed, be. cause the Dey demanded all the arrears of tribute for the time that Holland was incorporated with France; that the Dey is preparing rich presents for the Porte ; that the- whole military force of Algiers is at most SOW men," &c. NUREMBERG, JULY s. The celebrated Sacro Casino, or the Holy Vessel which CrtinsT is said to have used at the last Supper, and which was brought to Genoa in 101, is come back from France to Genoa, with other curiosities. The King designed to give it back to the church of Sr. Lorenzo, where it was always kept. On the 13th of June, the case in which it was packed was opened in the presence of the Magistrates and the Clergy ; when, to the grief of all the persons present, the ves sel *as found to be broken. On this occasion Ge noa has recovered several valuable manuscripts, and the celebrated painting by Julio Romauo, represent ing the martyrdom of St. Stephen. BRUSSELS, JULY IS. The French Government continues to Increase and organise its army. On the Bth of this month it was airaonneed to the troops assembled at Lille, that the regiments of cuirassiers, dragoons, and gagers, in the northern department, should be augmented With one squadron, and the regiments of hussars and lancers with two. Every departmental legion is to have another battalion added to it. The corps which were at Lille tr , ve returned to their respective garrisons. The magazines for the Army of Occupation are con stantly filled, and the measures fur this purpose are put in force with extraordinary punctuality. A great entertainment was lately given at Mau beuge on account of the inauguration of the King's bust, at which General Woronzow was present with his whole staff. • The affair between some young men at Cambray and some English Officers is nut settled. It is thought, however, that .in order to avoid giving grounds for farther disputes, it will be arranged amicahly. The commands of the Field-Marshal ate expected. Jute 17.—Letters from Lille say, that General Jumilliac, Commandant of the 16th Military Divi. won, has given orders to double the guards on that fortress and citadel. Tee garrison of Lille is now as large as the stipulations of the Treaty of Paris allow, vi.:. three thousand troops of the line. The National Guard, whose attachment to the existing Govern. went is not douhtfol, is from 11 to BMX/ strung. Many fine young men have formed a cusps of cavalry of the National Guard, and many compan;es of ar• ot. the same Guard rival old eannoniers. On the other hand, the measures for the increase of the army are cantintied in all that part of France. Many Officers of the old army in these provinces have been called into active service. The departmental kgioas, as soon as these two battalions are. complete, have three battalions added to them. Every department has been called u?on to furnish, if possible, a detach.. ment for the Royal Guard, and the foreign legions srM •teu 1-d. These preparations, under present give rise to various conjectures. Many the General St.i ff have arrived at Cambray c.ogland, who say that the Field Marshal may edily expected. Several Officers of high rank, natrv , :s ot the Netherlands, who have served with distinction in Austria, desire to be employed in our national army. JeLY 18.—Researches have been made in this city by orders from superior authority, to discover and arrest the two Generals Escelmans and Fressinet, who, it was pretended, bad arrived here. All the researches have been hitherto ineffectual. LAUSANNE, JULY t. The Great Council of the Canton of Vaud, to ex press its gratitude to Colonel La Harpe, has just presented to him a snuff-box, enriched with diamonds, m which are the words 66 Liberty and Country"— Likrti n Patric." The accounts from Spain say, that Yandiola and Odonojou, who are condemned to the most cruel tortures, are still extremely ill. The horrors of the torture has not been able to extort any confession from the% Awns the Lileraks who Were arrested at Paris, O'Connor has been rat at liberty. The roads from Spain to Portugal are crowded with fugitives* FRANKFORT, JULY 9. They write from Carlsbad, that the Emperor of Rosin will arrive there on the 16th of this month, and that his Majesty the Emperor of Austria is also upected there. FRANKFORT, JULY is. Continual rains, torrents the like of which we have never before seen; storms followed by hail, lay waote. 'Upper Franconia. Whole villages are under water. The environs of Manheim are inundated. The Rhine and the N.ckar have risen 9 feet 6 inches above their medium height. and the hopes pf a very fine harvest lave been almost ruined. The loss in hay, corn, tobacco, and pulse is incalculable. HAGUE, JULY 16. The accounts of the state of our rivers are be coming more favourable, and it is generally hoped that the waters will soon fall sensibly. ' MLNTZ, JULY 12. This city has been given up to-day by the Austrian end Prussi .n Commissioners to the Commissioners of the Grand Duke of Hesse Darmstadt. The fortress remains, however, still a fortress of the German entlederatiun, and remains, at least for the present, garri.oned by Austrian and Prussian troops. The numerous applicants who fail in obtaining particular numbers, by deferring their orders in the Lottery to a late period, and the attractions of the resent Scheme (in which there are Two Prizes of £&o,000, one of which must be draws the First Day, Two Prizes of £30,000, &c. ice•), having already created in unusual demand for Tickets and Shares, dune persons whose intention it may be to purchase pasucular numbers should lose so time. FRENCH PAPERS. PAWS, JULY ss. General Lagers* ottnaandant of the Depart- Meat of ttas Garde, is appointed Envoy Extraordi nary and Minister Plenipotentiary of the King at Munich. This high mark of confidence proves that the King has not forgotten the firm and courageous conduct of the General in the Department entrusted to his command. The Grand Vicars of the Diocese of . Paris have just issued an order for public prayers of forty hours, with exposition of the Holy Sacrament, to entreat the ALMIGHTY for weather more favourable to the bruits of the earth. The Duchess of Frioul, widow of General Dorm, passed through Stnttgard on the ith instant, on her way to Vienna. The Duchess of Istria. widow of Marshal Besskres, had already been for some days in the latter capital. It is believed that the object of these Ladies is to prosecute their claims to the data dons which their husbands possessed in Italy. Claims of a like sort were brought forward by several French Generals at the time of the Congress of Vienna. The King of Naples has prohibited the introduc tion of the Sicilian Journals into his continental' terri tories. The liberty of the press is established by the constitution of Sicily. The crops have the finest appearance in all parts of the kingdom of Naples, but the roads are infested by banditti. The whole of the Russian corps in France, com manded by Count Woronzoff, are to be replaced by other Russian troops, of which 5 or 6000 men are ex pected at Maubeuge by the end of August. The Seine has risen eight feet within these few days. The following is a copy . of a Circular from the Director of the Customs at Grenoble, addressed to the persons employed under him, and transmitted by the Prefect of the here to the Mayors of the I Communes : le GRIMOLLE, JULY 2, 1816• •" There exists a class of men, who, unable to find within themselves that peace from which they have been banished by the csimes that stain them, view with envy the security enjoyed by the well-disposed, which they endeavour to disturb, by circulating re ports tending to revolt, or to weaken the sentiment of love and respect due by so many titles to our beloved Monarch. There is also another class of persons who cannot fail to incur the blame of all good Frenchmen—l mean those men whom nothing affects, wino allow every thing to be said or done, though they might frequently, with a single word, prevent the evil w:)ich their insensibility allows to be committed. I flatter myself that the persons em ployed in your division are animated by more just aad legitimate sentiments; but as there may be some who do not feel the full extent of their duty, the In spectors-General have expressly charged me to direct you to notify to all under your orders, that, as citi. zees and persons paid by the Government, they are bound individually, mid without distinction of rank, to inform, not only their superiors in the Customs, but also the local Magistrates, of every thing coming to their knowledge which may be contrary to the safety of the State, and to the respect due to Li: Majesty intimate to them that their conduct should be such as to render them a tenor to agitators ; and that the least delay, the least hesitation on their part, will be a great offence, which I shall be obliged to bring under the cognizance of the law. " Remind then, also, without ceasing, that every officer of the Government ought to proclaim loudly his devotion to the King, for whose person and for his country he should be prepared to make every , sacrifice, even that of life. The good sentiments by which you are guided afford me a sure pledge that you will neglect no means in your power of impress. ing the same sentiments on the subordinate officers of your department, and to make them conform as punctually as promptly to the regulations herewith pointed out, and the execution of which I place under your responsibility. I pray you to acknowledge the receipt of this. I have the honour to salute you, &c. (Signed) " BAnow, Director of the Customs." THE EVENING STAR. LONDON. MONDAY, JULY 22, 1816.

We have received letters from Barbados: of the I Sth ult. containing some interesting details respec ting the war in South America. The late hour at which they reached us prevents our entering into par ticulars :--In the mean time we have to state that on both sides the war has assumed the most horrid cha racter—Exterssiamion seems to be the ruling aim of both Royalists and Independents i and if the strugglel be long continued not a White man will be left in the Southern Continent to contend for the dominion. With great grief we state that in the beginning of last month several row-boats, manned by Royalists, lauded on the little island of Pato, near the northern Boca:, in the entrance into the Gulph of Paria, and which belongs to England, and robbed, plundered, and murdered a peat part of the inhabitants cm the charge of being Patriots. Among other refinements of the high minded, dignified, and generous Spa niards, in their treatment of these unfortunate people, they put seven "of them to death by crucifixion—Yes, crucified *rum British allied:, and by other means put to death all that fell into their hands ! We shall give other particulars to-morrow. In the mean time we subjoin a letter from onr country man, WELLwooD HYSLOP* Esq. one of the British subjects who unfortunately fell into the hands of the Royalists on the capture of Carthagena. This gen tleman is now at Kingston, Jamaica ; " Yon base beard, no doubt, of my arrest and im prisonment at Cartbagena by Monica.° ; but you can have no idea of the treatment I received. I was un fortunate in being too late in getting on board at the evacuation, awl oa the 7th of Dccembor i was thrown [tom thelnquisition. aster* k remained . tin months I without communication at ail, and two moo in a miserable state of suspense. Poor Stuart was shot, with Anguiana, Tolled°, M. Amador, Portocairero, Ribbon, Castillo, Ayos, and Dr. Grinados, on the 24th of February : and, but for the intercession of the Admiral, I was to have been the tenth victim on that day. So that, instead of being tried by a mock Court Martial, I was tried by a civil process and mi raculously acquitted. " I left Carthagena on the 27th of April, at which date Mottn.Lo had got no further than Ocana, and though there was a general silence in town, it was whispered that his progress was not so rapid as he expected. St. Fe of course had not fallen. The Ge• neral Congress was at Tunja. and since the execution of AMADOR and RIBBON, who had surrendered under a promised pardon, the interior spirit had resolved to defend itselt to the last. MORALES, with two battalions of Caraccas troops, had marched tor Ve nezuela, where matters were changing much against FE.ROINAND ; su that MODULO has an more than about 3,000 men with him. Carthagena is garrisoned by the tegiment of Leon, about 650 effective and non effective, (and I may add, disaffected men, from the want of clothing and pay,) and a battalion of Lianoes, composed of about 550. I was a month in town before I sailed, and I assure you those who remained, in hopes of a better Government under Ferdinand, find themselves miserably mistaken. I believe I may say with truth, the spirit of the people is now more elevated than ever it was at any previous period." We have this day received New York and other American Papers to the 22d June. They contain some interesting intelligence. It appears that the Americans have a strong squadron in the Mediterra. neap, which will of course co operate in the destruc tion of the piratical establishmeuts on these shores. The AmericAns have hitherto acted with great spirit in that quarter. NEW YORK, It7NE 20. not TDB AMERICAN SQUADRON IN ME MEDITIII RANZAN...-AVe learn from Captain Summers, of the brig Alexander, from Gibraltar, that the Dey of Al giers had threatened to commence hostilities against the United States, in consequence of our not deliver. ing up the brig, according to stipulation in the treaty with Commodore Decatur; which vessel, it be recollected, was detained by the Spaniards, and for which, we believe, compensation was made by them co the Dey. Commodore Shaw, hearing of the Dey's threat, immediately sailed to Algiers with the whole of the squadron, (except the Ontario, which was at Mar seilles), and a number of fire-ships, with a determi nation to bombard the town and destroy the fleet. Mr. Sheler, the Consul, went with the squadron; and on its coming before Algiers, the Dey, with his troops, immediately retired nut of danger. and mag nanimously sued for peace, which was granted, on certain conditions. Consular notices were stuck up at Gibraltar before Captain Summers sailed, stating that it was again safe fcr the American trade to proceed up the Me diterranean. The corvette John Adams, Lieutenant Trenchard, left Algiers on the 17th of April, in company with the squadron, bound on a cruise. Mr. Murray, who came passenger in her, has dispatches from Commo dore Shaw, containing the particulars of the above affair with the Dey. SAViesiNAH, JUNE 8. Again we have to take notice of fraud and •illainy —again we have to blush for the character of Georgia. A respectable mercantile house in this place has shewn us account sales of 66 bales of Upland Cotton, sold in Liverpool, by which it appears that 3108 pounds of stones, dirty and damaged Cotton, and other rub bish, were found in the 66 bales, packed in their centre. What a shameful imposition ! The wretch who could be guilty of it, deserves the gibbet or the gallows. We are assured that proper steps will be taken to bring to punishment the swindlers.—Let an example be made, and we shall hear no more of such base transactions. A Mail from Hambargh arrived to-day, but it I has brought no intelligence of interest. A supply of German Papers reached ns this mor ning. We regret to learn from them that the spirit of hostility. against the Christian residents an the shores of the Mediterranean, or Franks, as they are salted, spreads rapidly. At Cairo there has been a barbarous display of this spirit. The daughter of the Swedish Resident has been assasinated by a grnup of licentious Turkish soldiers. in open day ! Let us hope that this state of things is drawing to a close. VIENNA, JULY 7. The last accounts from Egypt mention a melan choly event which was occasioned by the savageness and cruelty of the licentious soldiery in that country, and furnishes, unhappily, a new proof of the danger to which the Europeans are but too often exposed in the Ottoman States : —As the wife and the two daughters of the Swedish Vice-Consul, M. Boehty, were returning, in broad daylight, from the- bath, a shot was fired at them by a soldier, which uufortu nately wounded the eldest daughter (a girl of four. teen, and of extraordinary beauty) so desperately, that she expired a few hours after in great agonies. Thoggh the perpetrator was instantly seized, and by ,command of the Cloveroor, wt u toak thc most "'' lively interest ib the grief of the afflicted par`; executed on the spot as a warning to others ; nth though Mehmed Aly Paeha had promised to re rni ,, t , the several corps of troops from Cairo, and the ru ff strict measures were ordered for future security, ti terrible event has made such a deep impressio n on the thin& of the FrAnks that they carefully far as possible, gCing beyond the quarters of thecity which they The Beys and Mamilukes, who have takeh refuge at Dougaiati, in have expressed to the Governor a wish that hi would assign them a Province, where they mi g h t live peaceably ; but received for answer that Mehm e d Aly PAclia was resolved to govern in Egypt a !, re but that they were at liberty, in order to live quietly in the bosom of their families, to return to Cairo, where he would give those who are advanced in year a pension, and find employment in the service f or the strong and able. This corps of the Beys an d Mamelukes, once so powerful, is now reditced, a c . cording to credible accounts, to 500 men. Since our last we have received the Paris N trs of i'lmrsday and Friday. They really contain Aut little intelligence of interest. It wo.lid apre:it,f:vin an article from Grenoble. that all is Lot yet troc ej it in that district. COURIER EXTRAORDINARY OP PitIDAY NI3RNING. The criminal proceedings are going on againsi Gachard and his wilt. traileurt, f6r poisoning Dr. Mermet and three other indivi..uals. One Combes, a Curate of Lune Montastrue, has been interdicted and dismissed, by the Archbishop of Thoulouse, fur political and religious misconduct, besides a failure in ecclesiastical discipline. The incessant rains have caused inundations in various parts of Switzerland. Some days ago the Rhine at Bat•le was, covered with the rafter: and othtr timbers of houses carried away. By the list: of the Aar various dests uctive inundations have been caused: A part of the Frickthal has suill•red remarkable de. vastations.
