The Parjs Papers of Wednesday arrived this morn ing.—The Duke of BovapoN is rapidly recovering from the consequences a his late accident, and pro poses immediately returning from Chantilly to his own Palace. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of BERRY is also in a state of progressive convalescence. Oa Monday several new witnesses were examined in the affair of General CANUEL. At one o'clock same day there was a meeting at the house of Sir CHARLES STEWART of several Members of the Diplomatic Body, which was also attended by the Duke of Rico E- Liao. Colonel DUSAY is now out of danger, and is able to receive the visits Of his friends. Five per Cents. Tuesday, 75 fr. We have received to-day Baltimore Papers to the 17th, and Philadelphia to the 24th ultinio, from which we subjoin some interesting extracts: • PHILADELPHIA, AUGUST 14. • The Mobile Gazette of the 14th ultimo states, information was received, by a gentleman just f'ro m' l Pensacola, that a body of hostile Indians had appeared on the Escambia, against whom Colonel King had dispatched a detachment of 150 men. A letter received in town this morning'from Rich mond mentions that Gallego's.mills, in the vicinity cf that .place, have just been consumed by fire, toge ther with 1000 barrels of flour and 14,000 bushels of wheat. Loss estinrated at above-50,000 dollars. NAVAL.— the frigate Congress, we hear, is soon to proAeed to the Indian Ocean, under the command of Captain. Elliott. The Ontario, Captain Biddle, we suppose, may by this time have taken possession of the mouth of Columbia River; and the Macedo nian, under Captain Downes, will depart for the Pa cific Ocean in a short time. lIA VANNAII.—A gentleman who left Ha vanuall on the 25th of last month, in the schooner Ge nge Washington, and who having left that vessel off the Cars (she being bound to New York) arrived here on Saturday night, in a Baltimore pilot-boat, has aatlica ised the lt:eper of the Reading-room Books to say, that the report received at Baltimore from Captain Wzaa, of the ship Benjamin, respecting a new duty of four dollars being exacted from every vessel arriving at Havana* for tLe support of the In luisitian, or for any other- purpose whatever, is noz correct, no such duty having been laid. From a q long residence at Havannah, his commercial pur suits, and, sources of information, he presumes that if such bad beett,the case, he must 1 - ,ave known it.— The tonnage duty of 2 dollars 50 cents. on all vessels to take effect front the Ist of July, is correct. This gentleman farther states, that seve:•al private letters had been* received at Havannah from Cadiz, stating that thg Floridas had bxtr ceded to the United States, but that little or no credit was attached to them ; the public attention was directed to the United States for a confirmation of the report. Havannah was not more sickly than usual at. this season of the year. EMIGRANTS.—Some mistake appears to prevail in relation to the French emigrants settled in the Ala bama territory. A portion of them, at the head of which General Lallemand is placed, have occupied part of the province of Texas, and have issued a Manifesto, declaring their intention to hold that pro vince. It was at first supposed, that these were the Emigrants to whom Congress SU liberally had exten ded its protection, and who, in a spirit of speculation and ingratitude, had sold the land and gone into the Spanish territory. We are however informed, that this company, at the head of which we find Joseph Bonaparte, Marshal Grouchy, Lefebvre I)esnouettes, Clause', and other respectable emigrants, hive no intention to vacate their lands, to speculate on the bounty of Congress, or give any cause of regret to the American people that they have extended to them the hand of protection and assistance ; on the con trary, we learn that the conduct of those who have gone into Texas meets with their decided disappro and that they have deprived them of the rights which they possessed by the original articles of asso ciation. We trust this may turn out to be the case. FROM THE ISLAND OF ST. DON!, mao.—Captain Bird, of the schooner Diana, who arrived this morn ing, in 18 days from Aux Cayes, informs us, that Christophe, with his forces, remained quietly about fourteen leagues from Port-au-Prince. The troops which had been ordered from Aux Cayes to Port-an- Prince, had returned to their former station, there bean no longer any apprehension of an attack from Christophe, and the force remaining at the port being deemed sufficient for its protection. LATE PROM CAPE Hesny.--We learn by the schooner Henry, Captain Williams, 13 days from Cape Henry, that all was tranquil at that Island when he sailed. BansAnoEs, JULY 16.—8 y a late arrival from De suctitra we learn that the head of the Insurgents in the late Ihish insurrection, distinguished by the title of General Faulk, had boas brought in, and will no V oubileceive the punishment due to his crime.

Our accounts this morning represent matters as less tranquil, in this district, than we were led to ex- from former letters. At Blackburn the weavers have struck work, and have, for some days, been parading the streets in great bodies, but without committing any acts of 'violence. However it has been found necessary to send some of the Manchester Yeomanry Cavalry to that place to protect the inhabitants, and repress any disposition to tumult. We learn also by a private letter, that on Thurs day the weavers at Bolton-le-Moor shelved some dis position to strike for an advance of wages. Nothing, however, had occurred of an alarming nature. The masters there mean, it is said, entirely to resist the demand. It appears also by letters of the date of Wednesday last from Preston, that some of the Weavers there had again struck, whilst others continued their labour : whereupon, the former visited the latter at their houses, and marking the work which they had in hand, gave them notice, that if they wove beyond that mark, they, the turn-outs, would come and de stroy the whole. This certainly is not to be suffered ; as One party has at least as much right to work as the other to be idle, even if a combination were out of the craestion. In the mean time it is said, that their present rate of wages produces, with great in dustry, only nine shillings weekly, and that they ask no more than twelve shillings. The Country Papers state, that the number of the proscribed men.at Manchester amounts to about two hundred. They wished to return to their factories like the rest, but have been absolutely refused per mission : they are, it is said,.now maintained by those who are employed. Several of the Master Spinners, before they would consent to employ their hands again, obliged them to sign an engagement never to be parties to any future combination, as well as to pledge themselves never to support so illegal a measure. PRIVATE LETTERS. " MANCHESTER, SEPT. 17, 'fix P.M. " This morning an express arrived here from Burn ley, in this county, (about 24 miles from this town) stating that serious disturbances have broken out among the Weavers and Spinners of that place.— They have turned-wit for an increase of wages, and were, when the accounts came away, proceeding to acts of violence. That fine body of men, the Man chester and Salford Yeomanry Cavalry, were imme diately called out, and were quickly ready, in com plete marching order, and set off at full speed for the scene of tumult—preceded and followed by detach• meats of regulars. " No authentic accounts have been received up to this hour . ; and as the various rumours are vague, contradictory, and even alarming, it may be as well not to particularise them, until more definitive ac counts arrive. I will write again, the instant any au thentic information comes to hand. " In the mean time I am happy to inform you, that we are all quiet here, at present ; and most sin cerely do I wish we may continue so ; but it should not be concealed that many here are firmly con vinced, that unless the situation of the Spinners, Bcc.'. be taken int.) the early cansideration of the Masters, and something liberally done to meet their expecta- dons, the winter will not pass over withm:: another ferment ; for, noty.i:liitandlig whit may be s.til by linterested persons to the contrary. the greatL l part of the mil have gone in o:: an ir!iiii undemanding that theia wags were to be speedily raised." ANOTHER LETTER. MANCHESTER, SEPT. 17. " We have just received intelligence of the weavers and spinners t•f Burnley having turned out in great numbers, and proceeded to acts of rioting and di)tnrbance. There is a report that they have palled down the prison, and done damage to several other buildings. " The Yeomanry Cavalry have gone off from this place to quell the riot, and are to be followed, it is said, by part of the regulars now stationed here. " At Bolton-le-Moor and Wigan they have also turned out to the number, it is said, of from . 20,000 to 30,000, but as yet the turn-out there has not been attended with any tumult. Great apprehensions are entertained that the Spinners who have lately returned to their work here, may be induced by these breakings out in other parts to turn out of new, unless the rise of wages which they have been led to expect is con ceded to them on Saturday night." FROM THE BLACKBURN MAIL, SEPTEMBER 16. We are sorry to stato that matters are not as yet adjusted between the Weavers and Manufacturers of this town and neighbourhood. The former, although they have several times paraded the streets since our last publication, yet have evinced no disposition to riot. We entertain strong hopes that these unfortu nate disagreements will be terminated this week. " The Weavers of Manchester, Chadderton, Mid dleton, and Failsworth, have pretty generally re stinted their employment at an advance of about 4s. in the posund on their former wages, i. e. before the turn-out ; but with this farther understanding, that the full demand of the Weavers of 7s. in the pound shall be complied with in one month from this time. 44 At Oldham and the neighbourhood the Fustian Weavers have obtained the advance, and are now re ceiving 2s. 6d. per lb. for what they very recently only received Is. At the lowest ebb a fustian weaver could not earn above 6s. per week, but at present they are considered the best paid." PRIVATE LETTER. " BLACKBURN, SEPTEMBER 17. " I am sorry to inform you that the differences between the operative weavers 'and thsis employers in this neighbourhood, so far from being settled, have assumed a more alarming appearance. The men have, as a body, struck work, and are following the example that was set them by the Manchester Spin ners—parading the streets in great numbers. Up to this period they have not committed any real acts of violence, and they declare that they will not; hut, that they are determined to have an in crease, otherwise the work must remain undone.— Of course all business is entirely at a stand, and we arc under some apprehensions that serious mischief .may follow—a natural consequence of working people going idle and parading in large bodies; especially when goaded on by real or supposed grievances ; and perhaps stimulated by turbulent individuals. It is strongly hoped that an amicable arrangement will 'be effected before long, but, in the mean time, for the maintenance of public peace, a message has been sent to Manchester, entreating that an armed force may be sent to this place without delay." “ CHESTER, SEPT. 18. " Baguley, Drummond, and Johnson, still remain in our county jail, not one of them having sufficient interest to raise the bail required by the Court. Drum mond and Johnson are from Manchester ; the former a reed-maker, the latter a tailor. This county has the honour of having within its limits the domicile of Baguley—he formerly taught the young idea how to shoot,' at Stockport." " This week were received into custody at our Castle, Thomas Bibby, from Stockport, charged with swearing to a felony committed by Robert Fox (for throwing stones at Mr. HARRISON, the Magistrate), and afterwards absenting himself at Fox's trial, and assisting him with information, which is a misprision of felony and contrary to law. Bibby is committed, for want of bail, to answer the charge nett Assize. "Thomas Barnett, from Stockport, has also been corn mitted for want of bail, for conspiracy. He is one of the dealers and copartners with Temple, Gough, Swindells, and Boulton, who, like the other friends of the people,' Baguley, Drummond, and Johnson, are still languishing in prison.—(Since writing the above, we hear that Swindells has obtained bail, him self in £2OO, and two sureties in £lOO each.") A Mail from Hamburgh arrived last night with Papers to the Bth instant. The principal contents of them will be found in a preceding column. In the interior provinces of New Grenada, a num ber of parties of Patriots have sprung up in formi dable bodies, who have penetrated to the out-skirts of the capital of Santa Fe de Bogota. The Royalists discovtired and seized a number of emissaries or spies, who communicated with the Patriots, and among them a woman named POLICARPA SELARARRIET, born in the town of Gmachias by means of whom plans and instructions to invade the capital were transmitted to the Patriots. In spite of all the threats and tortures which were inflicted on her, to make her reveal the authors of these documents, found in het possession, she persisted in secrecy to the 11+4 and this heroic woman died with the'greate‘t fortitUde, execution=" to the moment of her execUtion" You • shall not hear it from my mouth : I will die ;.and . may those live who can free. the Country - I" - 7 • t THE !NI:HAN Ciffelfr TEcuassEir.-;--At aaieeting.bt British Officers, .which was atterrded - b* thiS late gal lant, hut unfortunate Chiettain, it was intimated to him, that " his Father (the General) requested him to sit clown:;' on which lie instantly exclaimed," He, my Father!

PERRYMAN still remains on board the SE ' MIRAMIS, not having been suffczed to go on shore since his arrival. _ _ Wednesday, a beautiful vessel of 318 tons, intended for the West India trade, and to make her first voyage to the Island of Demerara, was launcl ed from nr.
