. FRENCH PAPBRS. PARIS, SEPTEMBER 4. There was, on the Ist instant, at Calais, a desad fnl hurricane, which threatened destruction to many vessels within sight of that port. A Danish vessel ran aground near Gravelines, and the crew, with the exception of one man, perished.. NAPLES, AUGUST 18. On the &Mit. a Royal Ordinance was published, prohibiting under severe penalties of banishment, fine and imprisonment, all secret associations, including of course masonic institutions. The extraordinary mission of Mr. Pinckney, the' American Plenipotentiary, occupies much public at tention here. The following is a brief history of the confiscation of the American vessels by Murat, and for which compensation is now claimed. The American schooner Rait, Captain Thomson, of Baltimore, catered the port of Naples with coffee in 18t10. It was sequestrated, but soon after released on the representations of the American Consul," Mr. F. Dcgen. The Marquis de Gallo, Minister for Foreign Affairs, on this occasion wrote the following letter to Mr. Degep : " Nimes, JOLT 9,1809. • " San—The King having taken into conaideration your note tittle 28th of May, relative to the American schooner Rait, Captain Thomson, which sailed from Baltimore for Naples with a cargo of coffee, and provided with the necessary papecs in'due form, has decidid that the said vessel shall brrestomditicaptata Thomson, who may make free use of the merchandise sad pro perty it contains. At the'same time his Majesty his decided as a general mean" that an American vessels arriving In this kingdom, directly loaded and destined for itsportsishall be freely admitted therein, vrovUed they are furnished with the necessary certificates of origin, and sailing pipers ; and provided they are lot in contravention of the Royal Decrees of the 20th Rearnaber, 3806, end 9tl fanuary, 181;8, relative to English Commerce and that of Neutral Power!. which Decrees must be maintained is fall force. (Sigma) " TO& 1411aQ0IS Da iIALLO. " This letter was sent to America, profusely distri. buted there , and was the cause hat, in 1810 and 1811, many American vessels with rich cargoes suc cessively entered the port of Naples. They were obliged to unload at the eipense of the consignees, cud deposit their merchandise in the public ware bouses, under pretence that they would not be re. ceived in quarantine with Out this formality. The customs kept one key, and gave the other to the Consignees. When the number of American vessels bad increased to SO, the consignees bad their keys taken from them under pretence of an order from Bonaparte at Paris, and the merchandise Was sold by .auction. The Minister of Finance caused even the . weasels be sold, with the exception of some which were kept to be equipped for the service of Murat.-- The Rait, for instance, still forms part at this !no spent of the fleet of Ferdinand IV. The sum prci. diced by these sales amounted to between four and five millions of Naples ducats, and was applied chiefly to the abortive expedition against Sicily.-- The consignees bad even difficulty in recovering payment for their expenses and disbursements. The ship Hercules, Captain West, was the only one.which bad the good fortune to be released : it was dispatch. ed to Civita•Vecchia, to take on board Lucien 80. • naparte and his family, and convey them to America; but, as is well known, he was taken on his route by the English, and conducted to Malta, uid from thence to England. It is rather remarkable, that the Government of the United States never claimed indemnity, at least ostensibly, for these vessels, while Murat occupied the throne of Naples. PRIVATE LETTER. " PARIS, SZTIIOIIIIIII S. " I give - you the following lttwr o extract of a the 13th ult. from Algiers . via Marseilles s—"the city is in the finest state of defence: On the land side, a strongly entrenched camp surrounds it. Its arsenals are filly provided. Government have armed the Sieves, and promised them liberty after the de feat of the invaders. The Dry continues to be the object of the love and admiration of his people. He daily reviews his troops, and superintends himself all preparations for defence. Such is his activity, that he seems present every where.' ,* M. de Talleyrand quitted Paris on the 2d for Bourbon-Archambauld. 44 The return to Paris of M. de Trogoff. one of Monsieur's Aid-de-camps. lately exiled trot, Court, is publicly announced. The liberation of Colonel Bernard, the manager of a false correspondence some time since detected, and the Director of the Police of the Princes, has not been thus publicly announced, though the fact be certain t this, with other circum dances, she's the triumph of the Ultras to be com plete. The Party are now busily engaged in new modelling the Ministry. The King gibes op at length M. Leine to the Princes ; the latter, in return for this concession, kindly allow his Majesty to retain M. de Cues, obi is it great object of Royal-predi lection, chiefly on accouni of his companiolde quali ties; this Minister has also a useful auxiliary at Court in his sister, Mde. P.whose attractions operate powerfully on the King. * M. Lafitte's plan of finance, adopted by the Cominissi , at of the Budget , is'ssid to offer 'an inva gable nine to the new Ministry sit meets all pm . eat gencies, and is adequate to every future purpose of the State t but it takes Oldie - credit Wiry • and consequently pre=supposes a fair representation, a popular Government„ and the repeal of all urrelm ststutional laws, such as the hi is, cusitairi the 41 its wit sedisieuss, the law restricting the liberty of the press, and such measures as portend , desiens upon the national property ; which system isnot - likely to be that of the party taming into power. ; The finances, however, Ammo to give but little concern to the Minister of filet department; for since ' his return from the waters , M. eareeti,on, * i dly spent his time at his country house, where, instead of plans of finance, he is busied in drawing op plus for his gardens; the Minist er for Foreign Affairs , has little to do, except when he reeeivesinetiactions from St. Petersburgh ; the Marine Department has long been a sinecure ; the War Office alone gives full ein floyment to its chief, in raising men, in keeping others in subordination, .and in restoring the military re sources of the country. Frequent desertions take place in the Royal Guard ; the old soldiers corrupt the new, and propagate the milk of disaffection; they are deeply affected by the trials of their former leaders.

The wishes and hopes which we have been led t o cherish by the accession of. our Sovereign, the King. of Denmark, to the German Confederation, are on the point of being accomplished. His Majesty has by a decree of the 19th instant, named a Committee, which is to meet on the 4th of November, this year, At Copenhagen, in order to deliberate on the C o n s ti. union to be given to the Duchy, and to lay before his Majesty the result of the deliberations for his de. cision. The Committee consists of nine Members. • COPENHAGEN, AUGUST 24.. A West Indiaman has lately arrived here, which performed the voyage in 35 days. It is said there is no example on record of a ship having made the voyage in so short a time. We hear that two Depu ties have arrived here from the inhabitants (nut Eu ropeans) of our West India colonies, to make repre sentations concerning their patinas. VIENNA, AUGUST at. The son of the English Ambassador, Lord Stew art, who was on his way from London to join his father here, was detained on the frontiers, because he . neglected the.necessary foinsality of having his piss ports signed by an Ambasiador in London, the dif ficulty was, however, soon removed, and orders Seat to the officers on the frontiers to allow the young man to continue his journey hither. Since the arrival of a courier the day before yester day at. the English Ambassador's, it is reported that Lord Exmouth has received the most positive in structions, which have been long and ardently de sired, to suppress the excesses of the Corsairs, and that he is to demand irons *the Government at Al giers, besides the mere abolition of slavery, the de him of the whble marine, and re-payosent of all sums received for the ransom of Christian slaves, since the last Treaty concluded oa that subject, and in ease of " refusal to employ force. FRANKFORT, AUGUST 25. We flatter ourselves with the hope of seeing the Duke of Wellington here for some days during the fair, wben his Highness will visit the headquarters in Alsace. The Pitt will hardly be opened before or during the fair, but after this time it will nut be longer delayed. The Es-Queen of Spain is still here, but lives so retired that nobody would guess her abode. Hamburgh—Excbange on London, 27th ;ad 30th August, 35. 9. AMERICA. New York Papers reached town yesterday to the 29th July, and Washington Papers to the 25th ditto. • We subjoin a summary of their contents : The books for subscriptions to the National Bank closed in all parts of the Union on the 23d of July. There had not been sufficient time to ascertain the amount of the subscription ; but the National Intel/ :tsar ventures an opinion, that they will considerably exceed twenty-eight millions, the sum authorized by the Act ; in which ease the largest subscriptions were to be reduced. Another Paper, however, estimates the amount subscribed at twenty millions, making a deficiency of eight aillions. Complaints are made of further instances of the exercise of the tight of search by the British cruisers on Lake Erie. A man of the name of Shadrach Penn Jar has made an affi davit about his vessel , hiving been boarded from the 'Tecumseh, and his having been asked, in a peremp tory style, What*was his cargo ? and where he was bound to ? The . Master of the Firebrand United States schooner, who had been sent to St. Domingo to procure the release of Mr. Duplessis, an American citizen, confined by order of Christoplie. had sec ceeded in his mission. The Creek Indians were pre paring an expedition of from 500 to 1001) men, un der their Chief, Wintosh, against the Seminoles of Florida, who recently took possession of the fort in Appalschicola Bay. The Indians on the western banks of the Mississippi express great dissatisfaction at the encroachments made on their hunting twit°. ries by the white settlers in that qoaner,-and at the extensive havock made among the buffaloes by the American hunters. There was an embargo in the ports of Cuba from the 21st to the 28th, on which latter day six armed merchantmen sailed from St. Jago de Cuba for Africa and Spain. The object of the embirgo was to prevent information of their in tended departure from reaching the numerous Car. thagenian privateers in those seas, which, by uniting their force, might have intercepted the merchantmen. According to reports from St. Bartholomew's, the Patriots under Bolivar had regained possession of the whole of Venezuela. This intelligence, however, seems doubtful. From the latest authentic accounts, he had not, up to the latter end Of June, advanced beyond Cambona about twelve leagues South - east of Margarita. He had about five thousand effective troops, and war waiting for a reinforcenient of .500 men from Goer°, Under General Marino, upon wham junction he intended to prosiest to the intact of Cu mans. The meet of Mr. Mead, the ActingA.nae., rican Vice-Consul at Casks, has excited a amid,. :able sensation in the United States, wherv i .however, the cause of that proceeding does not appear to have. transpired. Mr. Mead, we learn, was a very eras. sive contractor in the time of the Patriotic Golfe* ' meat of Spain,which, at the period of its overthrow by Ferdinand VII. was indebted to him in the sum of 1100,000'ilollan. /laving in vain for a length of tisni solicited payment of Ferdinand's Ministers, he ven. tared, as his last Mount, to publish a pamphlet en the subject of his claims, couched in language not very palatable to Ferdinand and his mimons. For this offence / he was put in durance vile. We under stand, however, that upon the return of Mr. Cash. cart, the American Consul, to Cadiz, be transmitted a remonstrance to Madrid, which had the effect of procuring the liberation of Mr. -Mead, who is further said to have received payment of a small pan of his demand, and fair promises for the remainder. The exports from Savannah for nine months, ending the' 30th June last, are stated at 94,147 bales of cotton, 21,942 whole and 3744 half tierces of rice, and 1904, hogsheads of tobacco, of Which there were exported to this country 49,296 bales of cotton, 6828 whole , and 696 ball tierces of Sit% 597 hogsheads of to. beam; nand to France, 11,572 bales of cotton, .2989 whole and 677 half times of rice, and 79 hogsheads of tobacco. 1E EVENING STAR.

An article by the latter, under the head of Vienna, states that shortly after the arrival of a con. tier from London with dispatches for the English Ambassador, it was reported that Lord EXMOUTH is instructed to demand from Algiers the surrender of its marine, the abolition of slavery, and the r•-pay meat of all sums received for the ransom of Christian slaves since the date of the last Treaty concluded upon that subject. A private letter from Paris quotes one from Al giers (via Marseilles) which speaks highly of its state of defence. The slaves have been armed and pro mised liberty; and the Day (who can believe it ?) is highly beloved by hii people Some extracts from letters written by Officers serving in Lord Ex►souTas's Expedition, will also be found in our columns this day.—We may soon look fdr important intelligence respecting his Lordship's operations.

We are sorry to learn that an affray, attended with bloodshed, has occurred among the military quar tered at Namur. No English troops, happily, were there the Prussians, we believe, occupy Namur, and they are not famous for gi bearing their faculties too meekly about them." • STUTGARD, AUGUST 19. His Majesty the Emperor of Russia having pro. posed to the King to accede to the alliance contracted at Paris on the 26th a September, 1815, his Majesty signed, on the 18th of this month, his Act of Acces sion, and caused it to be delivered to Count Goiosv. kin, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipoten• tiary of Russia to our Court. OSTEND, SEPTEMBER S. This town has just been thrown into the greatest consternation. Yesterday evening, about half-past . eight o'clock, the English sloop the Britannia, Cap tain Sumach, coming from London, having on board divers goods, and 51 passengers, among whom were a lady with six children, was driven by the sea over the piles on the coast at the entrance of our port. The shock was so violent that above thirty of the piles were carried away. By extraordinary good fortune nobody perished. BRUSSELS, SEPTEMBER 5. An affray, attended with bloodshed, of which all the details are not yet known, has taken place among the troops that compose the garrison of Namur : A quarrel that arose in a public house, between some Light Horse and some Sappers, led to this sad event; some men have been killed or wounded. Order is entirely restored, thanks to the energy employed by the officers on this occasion. Monsieur Simon, who has made some noise in the kingdom of the Netherlands, through the discussions, of which he was the subject, in the Second Chamber of the States General, was delivered up, on the 21st of August, to the French Authorities. A Journal of Liege contains the Protest which he signed before , his departure. It is dated on the 18th. The fol lowing is an extract I denounce this act, equally contrary to the law of nations, and to the fundamental law of 'the king dom—to the animadversion of those among my new fellow-citizens who still cherish the liberty which their ancestors enjoyed. I have applied to the Tribunal of Luxemburg: it declared itself incompetent to hear my complaints. I applied to the States-General ; but while they are deliberating, I receive a notifica tion of the order, issuing from the AttorneyGener.il, !), which I am going to. be delivered up -to France, I had applied to the States `of the Province toobi:lin suspension - of this, order till the .States-General should have- come to a decisient they. answered, that it did not regal(' them." .
