FRENCH PAPERS. PARIS, JANUARY 4. . On Ncw-year's day the Municipal Body of Paris,. .headed•by Count Chabrol, the prefect of the depart- Vnent of the Seine, presented their homage to the King ; on which occasion the Prefect pronounted an Address, to which his Majesty replied-as follows 1— " I could not commence the year better than by receiving the Mick! Cons of my good city of Paris. !accept, with die great.; iitemtisfaition the expreulon of its sentiments t itaoot doubt with ralard to mine." Yesterday the Martinis of France, the Lieutenant- Gener.e!s, and other officers of rank, paid their re-, 7apects to his Majesty. The King observed to the -Marshals, " that it was with pleasure he saw himself tairrtiunded by those who had so often led the Freach to victory : he was very sure they would do so again, if he had need of their courage." To the officers of the Swiss Guards, his Majesty temitiked, " Switx2rland had always been the friend of France; it ought always'to be so. He placed en tire confidence in their zeal and attachment to his service." Belgium is now become an entrepot of English commerce. Engls!i mes'chandise alone is circulated fated in the different parts of that country. It is even said that the Milian merchants, who found it more profitable to obtam good:. from France, find it tecesiary, for the purpose of sale, to affix to them thanglish mark. The Belgians, on the whole, ap pear dissatisfied with their present system of p,overn inetst. They are anxious to know what final fate gialts them. Lord Wm. Bentinck arrived at Florence on the Ml* of December, with his family. Count Narbonne, Freda) Minister to the Court of Palermo, has departed on his destination. Count de la Vauguyon has arrived at Paris from Naples, having left the service of King Joachim. VIENNA, DECEMBER 24. ' The Plenipotentiaries of the Princes and States of the second rank sent on the 21st instant another note, in reply to the answer of Count Munster, the Hano verian Minister. It is hoped that this note will have the effect of removing some of the objections which the Emperor Frannis had to resuming the title of Chief of the Germanic Confederation. • A report is current that a Prince of the House of Austria will espouse the Princess Royal of Denmark. There is talk of a new and vexy important note Prince Metternich to the Ministers ot Russia and Pius- Me, relative to Saxony. It is now certain that Austria is augmenting the nistriber of troops cantoned in Gsllicia and . theßucko." wine. Several regiment; are on their march thither. The Government of Genoa has protested against its annexation to Sardinia. r., Oa the 22d and 23d the Swiss Deputies had long conferences with Prince Metternich, to which Prince Talleyrand and Lord Castlereagh were invited. After they closed, two CabinerCouriers were dispatched. , The King.of Wurtemberg, on his departure, which takes place on the 26th, leaves full pours with his Ministers. He has made several handsome presents to the imperial officers placed about his person. It is remarked that Prince Talleyrand now more frequently attends ihe Court entertainment's, and those of the different Ministers. His society is Much courted for the graces of his mind ; and the Princes Of Germany, who see that on this occasion the policy of France is noble and disinterested, wish to obtain her Minister as a support to, their claims. TURIN, DECEMBER 2.5. 'lt is said, that the Court of London has notified a demand to the King of Naples, that he reduce his army to a peace establishment,—about 25,000 men. BERLIN, DECEMBER 20. - The evening before last, a tumultuous smmetook Asce at our Theatre. The Luther of Werner (who wined Catholic at Rome last year) was performed. 41ovue. people ? who chose to think this u odd con. tract, gave on that she piece would consequence of which the police distnbUted' 60 of their officers in the pit, dressed like citizens. Sca t rcel had the curtain risen, when universal hisses burs forth, with shouts damning the play ; but the polic officers arrested 17 of the most turbulent, arid the piece was concluded without interruption. MUNICH, DECEMBER M. The return of our King appears again indefinitely postponed: the treaty of alliance which be has just signed with Austria is assigned as the reason of this. In consequence of orders which the King has just sent from Vienna, and which will be insmediately executed, the disposable part of the Bavarian army, namely, the four divisions which made the campaign in France, and which are still on the war footing, will be consi. derably reinforced by the incorporation of a part of the reserves. These measures are calculated to augment the Ba varian army, cantoned on the left bank of the Rhine, in Franconia and Bavaria, by from 15 to 20,0(X) men ; its total amount will then be from 50 to 60,000. • BOLOGNA, DECEMBER 21. Our city continues in a ferment. The people seem to grumble without object, and to be agitated without any precise motive. 'l'hie state of things, which is in fluenced by the uncertainty as to the decisions of the Congress, is a very disagreeable one, and paralyses Commerce. A private letter from Leghorn, 2d December, has the following passage " I suppose you know that we have had here for a fortnight or three weeks the Duke and Duchess of BEDFORD, who were confined in the Lazaretto, where they were obliged to perform quarantine : they were liberated last week, and nest day they set out for Florence. Ere this you will have heard something relative to NAPOLEON'S going to the island of St. He lena ; it is reported here very currently indeed. To ' day I learn that some ordnance has arrived from Porto Ferrajo to be sold prior to his departure." . DUTCH MAIL. DapaSELS, JANUARY S. A Decree of his Royal Highness of the 19th ult• contains the following regulations : . . si Considering our Decree of the 22d September, relative to the demands for Letters of naturalization considering that by a false interpretation of the said Decree, many persons have imagined that it obliged them to. obtain letters of naturalization, whether they filled any office or not ; considering , that the • said Decree had in view none but persons filling em ployments, and that it is not necessary to have letters of naturalization to continue to reside in Belgium, and to enjoy the protection of the laws, Stc..Btc. " The obligation of obtaining letters of naturaliza tion, in order to preserve public functions in Belgium, concerns only the functionaries, on whom our decree of the 22d September imposes it as a duty to demand lete•rs of naturalizatinn. From this obligation the Occles , astics and military are excepted. Tho..e indi vid...tls ::1 likewise exempt from this formality, who,. without tiding any public employment, shall desire to continue to reside in Belgium." Thy tragic end of Baron Schall, the Austrian Mi• fluter to the Court of Wurtemberg, is supposed to have been occasioned by an abuse of Confidence, which exposed M. de Schall to the mortification of heir , * ..upposed to have betrayed some secrets of State. JCGerman Paper, under the head of Vienna, says, 'Es It has not passed without notice here, that in the translation, and even in the Monitor of the note of the Pienipotentiaries of the minor German Princes and • free Cities, if the 16th of November, the pas sage is omitted in which the conviction is expressed, that the German Constitution cannot be complete or durable unless the dignity of a supreme head of the 'Empire be re-established. There are various opi nions on this omission, whether it be accidental or designed ; people are likewise not at all agreed whether the question of the re-establishment of the Imperial dignity, which is universally expected to become sooner or later a subject of deliberation at the Congreig, be a matter adapted for the consideration *.of the European Powers here assembled, or whether It ought not rather to be discussed, as a purely na iional concern of Germany, only by the members of 'the future German Confederation." • • • • • St MILAN, DECEMBER W. We have here recovered a little from the impres sions caused by the numerous arrests that have taken place. It is understood that many of those who have withdrawn themselves have - gone to Vienna, to de mand justice from the Emperor. It is to be hoped that his Majesty will give an example of moderation and impartiality which his agents have not always ' displayed. Preparations are making at the palate fir the arrival of the Emperor. • MADRID, DECEMBER 21. The Government has published a Gazette Ewa. , ordinary, containing a dispatch from Don Felix Cal lejas, Viceroy of Mexico, in which the following par ticulars are stated t The important fortress of Acapulco has been re taken, and the last retrenchment occupied by the rebel priest Moceloshas been destroyed. The insur gents are driven from every point, with : le exception of the Lake (Laguna) of Capala, in New Galicia, where they have had some advantages over our party. 1 have been compelled to give orders to Don Josephs de la Cruz to rally all his forces, abandon the least important points, and attempt a fresh attack on the fortified island where the rebels are entrenched. _ _ DEMMER 22. The Extraordinary Gazette which has just given us news from Mexico, by no tams dissipates our alarms with regard to that noble por tion of our colonial possessions. The English papers, which give much more recent accounts from Mexico than those contained in our Extraordinary Gazette, renew our anxiety. A report wa - s circulated here of the arrival of some galleons from Cuba ; but the Government has said nothing of it, and this official silence undeceives the most credulous. Our double expedition has not yet left our ports ; and the expressions used by the Vice roy Calleja, are by no means cheering. We know that the tactics of insurgent nations are always the same, and that the war of regular troops is far from being the most dangerous. 11AMBU1WH, DECEMBER SO. In rel ition to Saxony and Poland, every thing has undergone a chltige at Vienna. Prussia will have other compensations in lieu of Saxony, and the Con gress will still last a long time. • r• • THE Elt.tb/STAR. • '7 - J0g1)01;1. ~~ MONDAY, JANUARY 9, 1815. • • , PRICE OF S COCKS THIS DAY AT TWELVE O'CLOCK : keduced 63j11-4 per Ct. 821-5 . per Cr .

French Papers to the 6th inst. also a Dutch, and two Hamburgh Mails, have arrived since our last.— The accounts which they present from Vienna reach to the 25th ult. inclusive ; but they throw no new light on the proceedings of the Congress. The Mo. narchs themselves seem to be getting tired of the de• lays that have taki:n place in making the various ar rangements that are neczssary. We infer this from the circumstance of their having, about three weeks ago, bad a personal conference for the purpose of set tling some of the points on which their Ministers had not been able to come to any satisfactory result. The accounts state that, in consequence, there is a pro spect of a speedy adjustment; but none of the parti culars have been suffered to transpire. Respecting Poland nothing new is mentioned in these Papers. The fate of Saxony too is still left un decided; but it appears obvious that Prussia will not easily be induced to give up its claims tothat kingdom. It is stated that some of the principal inhabitants, with the Judge of the Court of Appeals, acting as their President, had assembled for the purpose of pe titioning the Congress in favour of the old dynasty, but the President was arrested by the Prussian Au thorities, and the printed papers circulated by the Meeting were ordered to be seized wherever they could be found. Among other means of negociation, some of the Powers have recourse to intimidating measures at least, though language of that quality may hitherto not have been usvd. Witness the strong Russian force which occupies Poland, and the Prussian armies jin Saxony, and to these circumstances add that of a Treaty of Alliance between the, King of BAVARIA, and the Emperor of Aurrata, in consequence of which the former has ordered his disposable force to be put on the war establishment—increasing his army from fifteen or twenty thousand to fifty or sixty thou. sand men. The movements of the Austrian troops in Italy also puzzle the continental politicians, who are anxious to dive into the state of relations between that Power and MURAT. Bewildered in speculations, some of the Continental Journals anticipate a rupture of the present Peace; but though we cannot doubt that it is the aim of some Powers to excite a fear that hostilities may be the re sult t f a refusal of their claims, we are persuaded drat nothing can at this moment be farther from their views than a renewal of the war. Let us hope that their intimidating demOnstrations may not drive some of the others to a line of conduct not in the contem plation of auy at the present moment. It is sound policy every State to prepare to repel insult. AU acts of intimidation are of this quality, and ought to be carefully avoided by every Power solicitous of the peace and welfare of Europe. The German Princes are reiterating their endea vours to induce the Emperor FRANCIS again to become the Chief of the German Confederation, and this pro. ject is even said to be supported by Wurtemberg in opposition to Prussia, and to have a warm friend in the King of DENMARK. Another Note is stated to have been presented by Prince METTERNICH to Russia and Prussia, to which their early attention was re quired. Of its =tents nothing is mentioned. The removal of BONAPARTE from Elba to the island of St. Helena is again talked of. If this be really intended, it is probable that a sentence of di vorce from a second wife, married while his first wal in life, is intended to be pronounced. The people of Parma are said to be much discontented at being con signed over as subjects to the progeny of this marriage. On Saturday the Members of the Quzzaes Council met at Windsor, for the purpose of snaking their quarterly report on the state of his Ma.resry's - health.

There is no truth in the report propagated in vari ous papers, that .the dispute about precedency be. tween the King of Wurtemberg and the new King of Hanover was the cause of a suspension of business in the Committee to which the affairs of Germany are referred. The dispute was settled in the first sitting, by an unanimous declaration from all the Powers forming the Committee, that in such an assembly no consideration about rank or precedence should throw Any obstacle in the way of the progress of the affairs of Germany. DRESDEN, DECEMBER 20. In despite of the efforts of the Prussian Authorities entrusted with the administration of Saxony, no class of the Saxon nation will listen with any patience to a change of Go.c.nment ; altranks give theinosr affecting proofs of devotedness to their Sovereign. / This attachment, loudly proclaimed throughout the kingdom, is regarded as criminal by some Prussians who are here ; and the arrest of Counsellor Fleck, by superior orders. evidently proves that it is meant to punish the fidelity of the Saxons to their Prince. The following are the particulars of this affair:— In November, a great number of the inhabitants of Dresden had invited the representatives and heads of classes and public bodies in the city, to become the channel of communicating to the Ministers assembled at Vienna, the inviolable attachment of the inhabi tants to t he sacred person of their King, and to beg them to accelerate his return to his States. In eon sequence, 18 representatives of Dresden met and signed, on the 9th instant, a peados' to Congress.— .111 e Prussian secret police, which is not suppressed as was announced in some of the journals, . informed of what had passed, caused Mr. Fleck, a Judge in the Supreme Court of Appeal, to be arrested as having . presided at the meeting of the representatwas. The original of a memorial was also seized, with several copies and addresses. Some oft currents, however, escaped the vigilance of the Prus sian police, and have arrived at their destination.— Mr. Fleck has not been sent to the common prison, bat is confined et his owi house. The affair of Saxony is by no mesas leaded. • ifiaibieti 4 aftfsAvtoA(4 4 44l**Of - te‘ , 44tot , iii+tiA*Ntit.i;zi , ort.two , •.k&.. ,. . - THE ARMY.

Sleeves of tulle are worn with figured dresses, which, instead of being drawn, are orna mented with small rouleaus, at regular distances. The top of the sleeves is made of stuff, and forms .a large puckering, which is terminated with a rouleau of satin. - . , We have received Dominica , Barbadoes, Antigua, Sr. Vincent, and other West-India Journals to the sth of November. We learn by these from Dominica. 'that Governor Amnia had announced the recgiptiof dispatches froth England requiring his retails to giTe the Secretary of State some explanation reepecifoir the Proclamation issued by him for ealtlissMilaing the wives and families of the refractory hiarcapa— He had appointed to quit the island on the Stil of November, and states his expectation of returning in about six months. Extract of a Letter, dated Negril Bay, Jamaica, November 6, 1814,--u Not having heard any thing of our squadron for some time, I presume the people of England wonder what we are about—but we hope soon to convince them that we have not been idle, and though the season for operations is past in the Chesa peake, and along the coasts of the middle and 1101 , - them States of America, yet we mean not to let them remain quiet in those places where we can possibly come at them. Sir Alexander Cochrane quitted us in the Chesapeake, soon after the attack on Bald more, and repaired to Halifax, in the Tennant, Captain Kerr, accompanied by the Surprise, Cap tain Sir T. J. Cochrane. Rear-Admiral Cockburn also quitted us about the same time, for Bermuda. taking with him the Hebrus frigate, Captain Palmer. —.The Commander-in-Chief remained at Halifax only while he procured a few necessaries, and then sailed to the West Indies, for the purpose of beating up. die Islands, and collecting all the disposeable troops, with which he designs to tease the enemy in the Mississipi s in conjunction with the troops who served in the Cbe7 sapeake, under the lamented General Ross. Before Sir Alexander left the river, 'Sear -Admiral Malcolm, as Commanding Officer, received orders to leave a sofficient force before Baltimore, and then sail, with the greater part of his squadron, for this Bay. The Dragon, Captain Barrie, and some smaller vejele, were fixed on to remain in the Chesapeake, and out squadron sailed from that river having an board all that remain of the 4th, 21st, 4.44, and 85th egimeats, a strong party of Royal Marines, and thre e brigades of Royal Artillery (having six field guns attached 04 each brigade), under the orders of Captains Mitchell, Carmichael, and Crawford, the whole under the orders of Colonel Brooke, who so nobly seconded General Ross, at Baltimore, before he fell, and who has eminently supplied his place ever since."
