Among other sterling English news with which they favour us, we are told that Lord CATHCART, who has been so long our Ambassador at an Imperial Court, is going to be Ambassador to the Swiss Cantons.—Five per Cents. Friday, 75fr. 15c. FROM OUR PRIT'ATE CORRESPONDENT. " PARIS, SEPT. 16. " The Ministry have been - hard run in the Elections by the Independants—the Ultras' are distanced. The ex-Bishop GREGOIRE, is elected for Grenoble, in spite of the gigantic efforts made to prevent it. Thus the parts of France most accused of Ultra-Royalism, have all chosen Patriotic Decuties—LAFAYETTB, for La tiarihe; MANCEL, for Le Vendee ; Gaecoute, for L' Isere, Etc. Another year's Elections, and there will not be twenty Ultras in the Chamber. All the rumours about changes in the Ministry are unfounded. M. ROYER COLLARD is going to be created Minister of Public Instruction—this system is bad. Educa tion ought not to be in the hands of Government, for it abuses its powers. M. Rovan COLLARD is an ex cellent man ; but if he suffers the influence of a bi goted Clergy to preponderate, as it does at present— if no school can be opened but by the authority of the University, nor any thing taught but froM the books it authorises, the spirit of a free and liberal education is nipped in the bud. " The cause of Reform in England is much che rished here, by both the Independants and the Ultras, but from different motives: the former hope that England will free herself from the trammels of a decrepid system, and that the Nation will repossess its rights—they wish a good understanding to exist between the two Nations, which they conceive to be impossible while the Government acts en the present system. The Ultras rejoice in the troubles, because they regard them as the forerunners of a Revolution, which will destroy the English power. 4 Of what use was it,' say they, to cherish us for twenty-five years with the idea of restoring our property to us, and now abandoning us to the Jacobins, who turn . us into ridicule—those upstarts who were made to be our slaves. Perish such a Government, and such a Nation r The Doke de RSGGIO (Marshal OUDINOT) was I told the other day that a certain Marquis called him an upstart, and thought he ought to notice it. lam no Don Quizotte; said the Marshal ; I cannot draw my sword against x Rock of sheep, besideek if II l t me that the poor devil calumniates, it is his ancestor who first ennobled his family.' to It is peculiarly gratifying to find that official documents, intended to be private, will bear the scru tiny of criticism when made known. DONNADIEU, General and Viscount, who had his coat beaten with the cane and his face washed with the saliva of Colo nel Desctiestrs, on the Boulevards, in presence of thousands of spectators.—DONNADlZU, to justify his conduct at Grenoble, has printed a Pamphlet, in which he gives a letter of the Minister of Police, M. DICAZIIS, in which the latter applauds him for his severity ; but this applause, like the Plume Racnwr's on the Magistrates at Manchester, was only founded on the General's own statement ; in a few days its falsity was discovered, when M. Dzomeas did, what his Royal Highness will no doubt do, when his tta. reds by land and by water will allow him time to ezamine the facts ; he revoked his praises, and cen sured the General ; and it is to justify himself from having any share in the horrors committed by the lion-hearted DONNADIEU on harmless and unarmed, but suspected citizens, that the Minister has published, in The Moniteur, his Correspondence with DONNA- Dim,/ and the Prefects, , 4 The exigency of the moment required that these letters should be hastily written, yet they betray no symptoms of precipitation—they are elegant and Constitutional : he reminds the General, that.' under "a free Government like that of France, to repress illegal acts illegally, is a greater grime than the com mission of the acts—.the duty of public officers being to reduce all to the obedience of the laws, and not to infringe them themselves. DON wAntsu's attacks Were not worth answering ; but the publication of the Minister's letters are peculiarly important, as they iiiew a steady determination to abide by Constitu tional principles, at a time when he was openly ac- cused of favouring the abuses he was striving to re press. Such we have always conceived the Minister of the Interior to be, and such he proves to be, when be condescends to justify himself," A Dutch Mail arrived this forenoon. from the r u pers brought by which the following ape eatracu; FRANKVORT, SEPTEMBER 12. N o w that the Congress at Carlsbad is broken up, there is a report of a. tiew Congress to be held at Vienta, for the purpose of finally confirming what was previously discussed at Carlsbad, M. Schenell, rresideiit of the Society of German Merchants, has invited all the foreign merchants who are at the fair, to assemble on the 14th of this month, in order to re ceive a communication of great importance to the trade of Germany. Some of the Students at Jena insulted the Hanoverian Minister, Count Munster, on his passage through that town, upon his return from Carlsbad. Many others, however,• have expiessed their indignation of this proceeding, and have pub lished their sentiments in the Newspapers. BRUSSELS, SEPT. Is. The Countess de Montholon is expected here shortly with her children, on her return to France. Her husband would not quit Bonaparte. The state of affairs at St. Helena is still the same: a very strict watch is kept both by land and sea. The health of Bonaparte is not in so unfavourable a situation as some perionr have attempted to represent it, and his chief occupation consists in composing Memoirs, in which he is assisted both by General Bertrand and Count Montholon. It is affirmed that these Memoirs are very voluminous, and that several copies of them are made, by way of precaution, that they may not be lost. We are informed, that the reasons which induced the PRINCESS of WALES to think of returning to this Country, had no relation to the suit in Chaeceryl respecting the doubtful Bond of her brother, the late Duke of Bauriswrox, but ins in conseqoence ofee* tain legal investigations which are said io hal/oboes gone into in Italy. Some, allege, that her promised return has had the effect of suipendingthe -proceed ings, and that the familrexcursion of &certain Rigbt Honourable Gentleman to the Continent, is connected with this delicate subject. DUKE OF CLARENCE:: DUNKIRK, SEPTIIMBIR 10.--The Royal Sovereign yacht arrived this day in our harbour. This superb vessel has come to receive on board the Duke of CIARRNCR, brother of the Patties Reoswr of Eng land, who arrived here two days since. His Royal Highness comes from Hanover, and is accompanied by the Princess, his consort. The Royal Sovereign was a short time since at Calais awaiting these illus trious travellers but the Princess, whose pregnancy is far advanced, being indisposed, their Royal High nesses preferred embarking here, for the purpose of proceeding directly to the Thames. The Prince has hitherto observed the strictest incognito. He goes about alone and on foot. He travels under the name of the Earl of MuNsrza.—French Paper. PAISLEY. - 'ZXTRACT FROM A PRIVATE LETTER. " Thursday Evening. " The Military are still with us, and to their pre sence, more than to any thing else, may we attribute ,the state of tranquillity which we again enjoy. The bad spirit displayed by the people is far from being subdued. For a long time it has been only wanting a plausible opportunity of giving itself vent ; and it is much to be regretted that it should owe that op portunity to any questionable act of power on the part of the Magistracy. " You know what an opinionative, pertinacious set of fellows our Scotch Weavers are, and will scarcely be surprised when I inform you that it is a question seriously mooted among them—whether they shall not bring an action against the PROVOST for the seizure of the flags, which they persist in maintain ing, notwithstanding the Sheriff's Proclamation, was a most illegal and unjustifiable act? Any effort to convince them that they are in the wrong, is only :thrown away ; ene and all are obstinately agreed that they have been extremely ill used, and &at thoufh breaking heals and breaking windows are verb , itta things, that the Magistrates have only brouglaais themselves and their friends what they destreett, I I tremble to think what this state of opinion will • to, worked upon as it daily is, iby . oz-btatly. other causes—by want of employreent—by-low wages-- and, above all, by incendiary writings, about what they call their Rights. " Probably the trials that must soon come on of those who have been busy in the late scenes, may serve to cool their *rdour ; and no well-wisher to his country can desire otherwise than that the law should take its course promptly— and, if guilt is to be punished, fearfully. I understand it is the inten tion of the Crown Advocates to indict several of the individuals who are in custody, for the capital of fence of remaining riotously assembled, beyond the time limited, after reading the Riot Act. 4 , A precognition has been going on ever since Monday, and a body of evidence has been collected, which I doubt not will fully bear out the Public Prosecutor in adopting such a proceeding, howei , er lamentable may be its consequences. " Two of the most prominent offenders are said to be persons from the country ; one from Kilbarchan, the other from Linwood. The country people were certainly the most active in the mischief ; not being individually known to the Constables or the people in the town, they seemed to be bolder, from the cer taintT of not being recognized, than our own towns men could venture to be. 4 ' The apathy with which some of the more re spectable part of our townsfolks have looked on the late scenes, his been much talked of—and, I need scarcely add, as much censured. They, too, have got a good deal tinctured with the disease of reasoning too much—and, because they think the PROVOST did unwisely, in the first instance, in vindicating the au thority of the laws by seizing the flags, they draw this most logical conclusion, that it was well in them to leave the PaovosT single-handed to fight out the battle of the laws as he best could. ( 0 A thousand such lake-warm bye-standers are, however, not kalf so dangerous as one reputable madman, openly siding with such a mob. A person of this description, who shall, for the present, be name less, made himself very conspicuous during the riot, and, I am convinced, contributed not a little to en. flame the popular fury. He actually served out glasses of whiskey to the rioters, and spirited them on by language which nothing but madness could ac count for. It would be well that, such political mad dogs as this were chained up, or Muzzled, in times like the present. 4 , A Meeting of the Deputy-Lieinenants of the County was held here on Tuesday forenoon, when they came to the following Resolution " Resolved, That the Lieutenancy approve of the active mea sures taken by the Sheriff of the County and Magistrates of Paisley, to put a mop to the outrageous proceedings of the mob, which have occurred here since Saturday last ; and they ogler their thanks to them for their activity in suppressing the tumults, and for their temperate conduct in preventing the effusion of blood. The Lieutenancy also request, in a particular tisane/se, the Special Constables of Paisley and the Abbey Parish, who acted no the occasion, to accept their thanks foe their activity and good behaviour in aid of the Sheriff and Magistrates. µ The Lieutenancy beg leave to give their thanks to Major gbagdon, and the Officen, Non-cosunissioned Officers, and Tsittates of the two Companies of the POth Regiment, and to 1411111otant Hodgson, and the ,Nen-commissloned Officers and vit the detachment of the 10th Hussars, for their excellent imodoet on the maxim of the disturbances that have otcutted." . • A Requisition has been sent to the MAYOR of Li- YaRPOOL, signed by some of the leading men in that town,, who profess Whig principles, praying that he Would.

On Monday night, shortly after the patty assembled in the Green, denominating therm Radicals, they broke off in two columns, one ti. 4 the east, the other the west. The eastern wing, leaving the Green, immediately commenced their 4e. predations on the first shop in Great Hamilton-sets that lay in their way, and after breaking lamps. * tempting to force shop-windows, Sze. they at lag came to the shop of Mr. H.

The family fled, seeing the mub armee , srilk bludgeons, stakes, &c. and left the shop to the who carried off ten small casks, containing :bout gallons of spirits, besides many other ankles. Abel 30 of the villains were seen, in an entry, about ?), yards from the shop, sitting round one of the rash and drinking the spirits. In breaking into the sbli the gas pipe was broken, which left the shop in e;te darkness, and made the destruction the ~ , re.ster, which was the more lamentable, as awe of the lains could be recognized. Thursday night a Weaver's shop or e i gh t I°rrb was broken into in Monereiff-street, four of the looms stripped of the cloth.

He was received with three distinct sounds of unanimous applause, which he politely returned, by bowing to the different parts of the House. The audience immediately stopped the performance, and called for Rule Britannia. The Malag er came forward and hated , that, from the cast of the cha racters, it was impossible to have God save the King. There was a universal cry of; " Art w as not calla for, and he was hissed off.

It is but justice to say that Mr. HUNTLEY, consi dering his late severe indisposition, played his part with a degree of talent worthy of a superior stage. On Mr. HUNT retiring, he was again loudly cheered by the audience, as well as the people who had collected round the doors. Mr. and Mrs. W. S.
