Paris Papers of Tuesday arrived last night. t'GNOT, the Second Reporter of the Committee .once, made on Monday his Report to the dyer of Deputies on the Ways and Means for the year. The substance of it we haie given at ingth in our preceding columns. The expendi -151.5, is estimated at 975 millions, and the le at 795,49,000 francs, leaving a deficit of ds of 221 reillions, to be provided for by )ans. Alluding to the three loans of last contracted for by Messrs. BARING, Hort, ; the Reporter stated, that by the first ans the Contractcrs had realized a profit cf !r cent. or more properly speaking, that the lad cost the county a discount to - that extent, is afterwards admitted, that taking into account :ole of the ri.ks and tiouble which the original 'rs were put to to make good their engagements, fits were not more than 9i per cent. which not, M. Beeusoz conceived, be under all cir ances regarded as exorbitant. persons last charged as accomplices in the vi FUALDES, have been sent for trial to the t cf Assize at Albi, but they are not to be tried Bastide, Jausion, Bax, &c. The Assize will .mmence till the 25th, as is decided by an ordi c the first Presi,leat of the Cour Royale of ;1.,1he. The Authorities at Albi, wishing to turn 7:fit c,f the poor of the department the cuii- I: t , s-.1..e.1 by the ill pending trials, have issued an each person trout pay 25 francs for the ngn: of e: - ,t7 during the A, Liaes, and a franc per day a seat be wanted. According to the last letters from Paris, the hopes cia free transit for colon". tl goods coming from Hol lod, and L,tined for Swil..2rlancl, :17C much abated. is known that several Members of tae (,:harnber of Dtputies have declared agaiast the ~d:nis, , ion of this tunsit. It is even said, that the majority of the Committee, which is charged with the examira,tion the proposal of the Government to this effect, has a similar opinion, :s said to have been effected by the Deputies ref Rouen. Mr. MottonN, a great marolfivturer, of Amiens, is 2.1,1 to 1-e named Reporter of the Committee of the Customs; and it is exprcl , d in conformity with ce opinion of the ma;nrity of the Committee, he, prcposo to reject the prmpnsal to qllow the transit. is supp.. , ed that the Deputies of the two Depart cf the Province of Alsace will exert themselves ae utmost in the Chamber of Deputies to get the I'mi.:osal accepted, and will 111 speak upon it. Tt is, 4" ever, aot believed that th..:y v. ill succeed. The letters from St. Y;tt's of tl7e ` ?d state, 6 -at sevol er eigllt vessels had been seized there ; two t ',reach of the N IV igaticn Laws, and the others for hiring gar,pc.wder on heard without being pro ‘vith the prrper (-Jr:- in Ceuncil, stating the 1 747 41:7 embarked, and the port of destination. It is presumed that these ships so detained, were in the act of conveying warlike stores fot • the use of the Insurgents on the Spanish Main: • The British Ad.. miral on the station was employing the greatest iri f:our to preveht such. infractions of the system of neu:rality adopted hy the Briti•li Government, under, which no assistance is to be afforded directly or indi rectly, either to the ltoyalists, or to their opponents• The consequence of these seizures will be very seri ous to the ship-owners, and other persons concerned, as the vessels will be under the necessity of remaining at St. Kitt's for some months, the British Comman der being determined not to act definitively with re •poct to them until he shall have received instructions iron' England. Letters have been received from Gibraltar, dated the sth instant, which contain nothing to confirm or contradict the statement received through France, of the assassination or sudden death of the Dey of AL GIERS. The truth is. that for some time there had been no recent arrivals at the Rock, either from Mo gadore or • any other situation on the African coast, from whence intelligence as to such an event might be expected. The following is an extract of a letter from St. Mary's, dated the ICth February, 1818:—" I have• no; much to communicate at present, only to inform you that AURY is making all possible haste to quit the place. Our troops are all apparently employed in the necessary avocations of a cantonment. All is quiet at Amelia. The United States' ship Adams, Commodore HEN*LET, and the brig Enterprize, Cap tain CARNET, are at anchor in Amelia -harbour. The United States' brig Saranac, Captain ELTON, and the schooners Lynx and Tartar, with the revenue cutter from Savannah, are all lying at the mouth of the River; likewise the United States brig Prometheus. An English brig, called the Neptune, -arrived here a few days ago with eight slaves on board : she was seized by the Enterprize, and is now at anchor in Amelia harbour. Another small Spanish brig like wise arrived, but of little value: she is now at Amelia discharging. The markets in this place are quite short of provisions, and every thing is very dear."

A letter in the Gazette of Nuremberg contains some account of Hayti, the situation of which is represent ed by the writer, from Eersonal knowledge, in a more favourable light than some of the 'foreign Journals would have us believe. The following is the conclu sion of the letter • " The Army consists at present of 40,000 troops, well armed and clothed ; with excellent cavalry and a good corps of artillery. The country is in"s-uch a state of defence, that no attack could be made with any hope of success. Even the English, nctwith.' standing their superiority at sea, would not now be dile'toobtain firm footing in St. Domingo. Reidy. money is in abundance in Hayti. The smallest coin is in our (German) money nine good groschen. The very advantageous commerce of the Island is almost wholly in the hands of the United States of America, which supply the inhabitants with all they want.— l American ships are constantly seen in the ports. " No Government enjoys such esteem at the Court of Hayti as the American. It is, according to the King's own expression, the best in the world, and the only one which respects the rights and independence of Nations, not out of interest, but upon principle.— But the American Government, though nothing is equal or even comparable to it for its excellence, is, he says, not adapted for Hayti, because the different degree of civilization makes a difference in the Con stitution necessary.—' Should the Haytiam,' he often says, one day spew that they can take an honour able place among nations, and be then worthy of freedom, my successors, if they are wise, as I hope they will be and act accordingly, will be sensible of the necessity of restoring to the People those rights which I have attaLhed . to the Throne, for the better maintenance of order, peace, act; concord.'" Yestei clay evening. the Prince of HESSE HOMBFRG returned to St. James's Palace, from Windsor; when MaiSllal KHAN and Marshal GRIMING, who have lately arrived from Hesse Homburg, and Baron UNACINTIVN, dined with his Serene Highness.

His Serene Highness visits the Continent in the course of the Summer. Private Letters from Italy state, that her Royal Highness the Princess of WALES is in a very declin ing state of health—brought on by excessive grief for the loss of her beloved daughter. Mrs. (GRIFFITHS, the nurse, who attended her Royal Highness the Princess CHARLOTTE in her fatal arern , chement, died within these few days. The late Captain HENRY FITZCLARENCE (son of the Duke of CLARENCE) died of a fever brought on in consequence of a fall into the river Ganges, and imprudently continuing on a journey without change ing his wet clothes.

The parties tired at-the distance of nine paces. Thusday morning, a Meeting of the Electors of Southwark took place at the Nag's Held Inn, for the purpose of proposing Sir R. WI LSON, to be a •Candi date at the approaching Election. Mr. Ham., the Chairman, obs.frved, that it was by no means their wish to oppose the re-election of Mr. CaLvraer ; on the contrary,-they would he happy to see that Gen tleman returned, in conjunction with Sir Itosmr.— He hoped they would follow the glorious example of Westminster, by electing Sir Itoapiar, free of ex pense: Ile then proposed several Resolutions, the .substance of which was, that the Meeting do pledge themselves to support Sir ItoisexT at the next Gene ral Election, provided he accepts the present invita tion, and pledges himself to support Parliamentary Reform ; that it is the incumbent duty of all free and independent Electors to return their Repres:enta tives free of expense ; and that this Meeting do ie. commend subscriptions to be opened iOr the purpme of defraying the expense attending the election of Sir R. WILSON. The Resolutions were unaniniomly agreed to ; and five Gentlemen were appointed, who yesterday morning waited on Sir Rotieer with the same, when he agreed to accept the invitation, and a spirited canvass is immediately to take place. Mr. Hatt., in the course of his observations, said, that having conversed with Sir FHA NCIS BURDETT on the subject, that Gentleman had highly approved of bringing Sir Roasur in, free of expense, observing, ' that one of his own contests for Middlesex, in which he meant to confine his expenses to 15001. hid cost • him Sixty Thousand ! A number of persons enrolled themselves in Committees, merely to serve their ' friends by giving order: He had paid for post-chaise' 60001. :laid also for riltbands, IWO/. to cortect this evil, was highly neces7,ary. rib Anhiv.

JOHN DAIII.EYCOR4 RAKERS' BREAD. Some Cheirfical gentlemen, who have lately taken the trouble to analyze Bakers' Bread, have found ig the greatest number of loaves a quantity cf"Al...e, ,and other ibrbidden substances; and we believe the practice of using it is much more common among the regular Bakers than is usually thought, and which accounts for the fact, that many weak 4nd nervous patients find their . stomachs better when they live on home-baked, than when they live on Bakers bread. It is hoped that this subject will meet v:ith that share of public attention which it so ju,tiy de. serves, The peculiar smell of most 13akers' bread, compared with the home-1311;e.] bread, will, in scrne measure, form a criterion, and point out the pro priety of a further analysis. The following mode of detecting the alum and rt ash, is recommended by a respectai:le (*hernia : Dissolve some bread• in distilled watn, and filt , r it ; then pour in a solution of Baryirc: it a wl.ith.it cloud appears, it indicates adulterated bread.
