Paris Papers tolhe 13th, being one day later than those of yesterday, were received this morning. With the exception of the return of NAPOLEON and his Con. sort to Paris, there is little of political interest in the extracts, which we have given hi our columns of to-day. • Letters and Pape: s to the 2lth Sttember from Jamaica have arrived in town. They comprise in telligence from the Caraccas to the beginning of the same month, according to which it appears tl'at the dispatches sent by General MIRANDA to the Congress of Venezuela, and the subsequent pro ceedings of that body, were calculated to give a false colour to the intentions a ad proceedings of the revolu tionary party. It is stated, that on entering Valencia, after its surrender, when the troops composing the garrison were willing to lay down their arms, General MrRANDA erdered his army to put them to the sword, and some thousands are said to have perished. , Regu lar possession having been given to the army of Ca raccas, the inhabitants of Valencia, irritated by repeat ed cruelties, rose upon their oppressors. They were however unsuccessful, and many public executions were the consequence. On the 22d August, 1200 men, under the com mild of an Aid•de•Camp of General TV --IitANDA, at tacked a strong fort adjacent to Valenci.t, which had not surrendered with the city, and after a severe con flict it was taken. On the 30th August, the ComMander in Chief of the Revolutionary troops marched, with about 7000 'I men, against the provinces of Coro and Maracaybo.— Ic left a garrison of more than 2000 men in Valen_ cia, to preserve subordination there.' The natives of these two districts are represented to be much alarmed at the advance of the overwhelming force under Ge neral MIRANDA, as their whole strength did not ex ceed 3000 men, who were ill provided, and greatly disheartened. Under these circumstances, it is sup posed that they will fall an easy conquest to the friends f the new order of things. The intelligmee from Jamaica itself is rather im portant. Several individuals, besides those noticed on former arrivals, had been arrested there, upon some of whom were found proclamations arid letters from CinuslOVllE, Emperor of Hayti. In this 'situ ttion General MotuusoN, Lieutenant_ Governor, dating the absence of the Duke of MAW. (.tIE.STEn, had thought it necessary to issue public no tices on the subject. Suspicions were entertained that . large exports of arms front Jamaica to St. Domingo had lately been made, and against this practice like wise an Official Order had been issued, and art csts had been made under its authority. The Jamaica papers are f►lled with the names of vessels captured in the Gulph of Mexico by French privateers, particularly in the Mona Passage. No less than fifteen Vessels wore taken in the short space cf a fortnight. The idarengo and Duke of Dantaic ,Ere particularly successful ;-and the former, besides capturing th'e Pelican, had ransacked a Spanish schooner to the value of 5E14,000 sterling in dollars. The enemy's ships in general were so admirably cal culated for this service, that by their swift sailn they had hitherto.eluded the British cruizers. TEE ARMY. This diy the London and Edinburgh Shipping Company's smack Pilot, Captain SANDERSON, sailed from Miller's Wharf for Leith, hating on board a party of the 75th regiment, for Edinburgh, and up wards of 20 volunteers, for different regiments in Scotland. It was the 75th regiment, and not the 1.5 h (as in serted by mistake in a farmer paper) that are form ing a 2d Battalion.—The Ist Battalion of this fine regiment, 800 strong, is now on its way to Sicily. Major-General Titsox relinquished the command of the Garrison at Dover yesterday.--General 13ne- Low is expected to succeed him in the command at that place. The 3d and last division of the King's County Militia marched on Wednesday from Plymouth for Maidstone, in Kent. BoxitrAnTE begins to writhe under the effects of the numerous desertions which are daily taking place among his hireling troops. The clumsy fabrication of a discharge of a foreign soldier from our service, given in the STAR of yesterday, will no doubt be re echoed throughout Europe ; but to those in the least acquainted with the Government of this country, the absurdity of enrolling a soldier's discharge in the Court of Chancery, will speak for itself. The Kt go continues much the same. THE PRINCE REOENT.—We are happy to say, the account from Oatlands yesterday was, that his Royal Highness had a tolerably-good night, was freer from pain, and had less inflammation than on Tuesday. The LORD CHANCELLOR is still so severely indis posed, that he is unable to attend the business of the Court. Lord ERSKINE is also indisposed, and, we are sorry to add, considered in some danger. Mr. WELLESLEY Pore met with an accident last Sa turday. While in the Board-room of the Commis sioners (4 . Compensation in Dublin, a book-case, tilled with book, fell on his head, and cut him very severely. He was likely, however, to recover soon. A pirate letter from Lisbon, of the 30th ult. says, that Marshal BEttisronn is much improved in hcahh, and was going up to the grand army from Cintra. Lord KING, it is said, has refused to receive Bank notes in payment of his rent, from a Bank Director, who is his Lordship's tenant, and has brought an ac tion against him. A reconciliation has taken place between the Duchess of MARLBOROUGH and her son the Marquis of BLANDFORD, after a lapse of 18 years. Her Grace, when languishing on a bed of sickness, and in ex treme danger, sent off an express to White Knights, the Noble Lord's Hunting Lodge, in Berkshire, re quiring his immediate attendance at Blenheim. The meeting took place a few days since, when a most interesting scene ensued, and all parties were ren dered happy. . . . . . . Prince - - D'AnEstaxne, taken in the late action by General HILL, is brother-in-law to Prince STAHREM BRIM, late Ambassador from the Emperor of Austria to this country, who married his sister. He had a Dukedom from inheritance in the Austrian Nether lands, and is a Prince of the late German Empire. The romour of an embargo in the American ports was again revived yesterday on the Royal Exchange, but it rested on no better foundation than former re ports on the same subject. A copy of a dispatch from General BALLASTEROS has been received in town, in which that Commander particularly adverts to the state of affairs in the im mediate neighbourhood of Cadiz. A Guerilla party had entered Puerto Real, had destroyed the battery at that place, and had taken twelve prisoners. The French were wholly inactive in the same neighbour hood. A letter from a French gentleman at Xerez, mentions, that the Patriots not only approached the walls, but actually entered the place, so that his coun trymen consider themselves not only besieged in the town, but assailed even in their own houses by the disaffected inhabitants, who, he adds, had hitherto escaped the vigilance of the police. A Guerilla party under D. CAMILLO GOMEZ, con sisting of 110 cavalry, were surprised in the town of Pedroneres,by a party of 200 of the enemy who art ived after a march of seven leagues. The Spaniardslost abour qo men in killed and prisoners. It is said that Sou= in the different actions sinet he has entered Valencia, has lost.about 500 men, and that the utmost zeal and enthusiasm prevailed throughout the whole province for the extirpation of this sanguinary foe. COVENT-GARDEN 'filEATite.—After another' in teresting representation of Measure for Measure, at this Theatre a new vocal performer made his appearance l in the Musical Drama of Paul and Virginia. His name !is BROADHURST. He played the part of Paul, and his voice is, in cinality, a counter-tenor, but it cloth not involve sufficient body to fill this Theatre. 1-le is not destitute of feeling, but nature hath denied him isufficient ability to succeed IsicLznotr, the lost favou rite, and especially in this pa:4 where the invocatory song is• so materially dependent upon the fullness of I I expression. Of the commanding energy and powerful melody of INCLEDON, Mr. BROADHURST is incapable of giving even a tolerable imitation. LYCEUM-THEATRE.—The popular Farce of Raisins the Wind was last night performed at this Theatre, the new piece of the Rejection, although announced for repetition in the bills of the day, having been most properly withdrawn in deference to the Public opi nion. Mr. LEWIS bustled through Jeremy Did/er with astonishing ease and gaiety, the character b e ing better fitted to his powers than most of those which to has hitherto attempted. Mrs. ORDER in Miss Plainway was playful and correct, and all the other characters were supported in a superior manner. Mr. Monk Lawn is Nothing a grand Opera for the introduction of the new quadruped performer of Co vent-garden Theatre. It is to be called the Zlethant and Castle ! 13y letters from Nottingham of the 20th instant, it appears that the workmen, being kept in awe by the Local Militia and a strong military force, have altered their mode of proceedings. Instead of their former boldness, they commit their depreda tions by stealth. On the Isth, they suddenly ap peared at Old Retford and New Retfird, where they broke some frames, and instantly retned. , On the 19th they set fire to some baystads near Sneuton, one of which was consumed. The premises, which it was also their intention to destroy, were preserved. NAVAL INDELLICEIVCI. FALMOUTH. NOVEMBER 11/.

B. Mr. Richards, legally and publicly alvsointed by a general flower of Attorney] —a document containing projects for changing the system of Government authorized by his Majesty—[the Maltese deny this authorization] ought to he considered highly culpable; and because it regards the Representative of your Sovereign, and tends to disturb the public tranquillity. It is tree, you try to screen yourself and your associates under the cloak of ignorance ; but, were that even admis sible, you must at least confess, that persons, who profess ignorance of the first and most generally known principles of politics, ought to be considered As very incapable of forming laws for their country. 6, With respect to the second petition by you, Sir, hinted at, and which seems likewise to have been clandestinely circulated and signed, as its contents have been industriously hidden from the knowledge of Go vernment— [N.B. The same as that printed and palish ed, as was old him.]—and may contain prinuples of a very inflammable and seditious tendency, it becomes necessary to call to your mind the jealousy with which it is the duty of every Government to regard the clandestine circulation of papers upon subjects (f such extreme delicacy and importance, whoever may be the individuals therein implicated. .His Excellency therefore charge: me to add, that, whenever lie shall be fully informed of the nature of the demands in ques tion, of their contents, and the parts to which you, Sir, refer, he will know what measures are proper to' adopt. In the mean-time, the Civil Commissioner is persuaded that it would be equally unseasonable to ,answer the insidious demands of an individual, as it is indecent in you to interrogate him. 6, I have the honour to be, Most Illustrious Sir, &c. " F. LAING, Acting Public Secretary." PORTSMOUTII, NOVEMBER 21. Sailed the AurritusA, Captain COFFIN, with Ad miral STIRLING on board.—The BARBADOES with the West India convoy is still here, waiting for some' ships from the Downs; it is supposed she wiil not sail before Sunday.—The following convoys have sailed from Spithead, Cowes, and Yarmouth Roads, this week, viz. the ORLANDO, Captain CLAVELL, for the Mediterranean ; the NYADEN, Captain EPWORTU, for Lisbcn and Cadiz ; 'and the KANGAROO, Captain LLOYD, for the coast of Africa.

DOVER, NOVEMBER 21. Arrived here this day the brig Lord Duncan ; she was picked up at sea on Tuesday last, within four miles of Dieppe, without a person on board, by his Majesty's slip BERSIUDA.

She was on the 18th taken charge of by his Majesty's sloop Co qur:•rre, and sent, it is supposed, fur Leith. HULL, NOVEMBER 19.
