The following are some additional paragraphs relating to the Conspiracy : PARIS, JULY 18. •Some hawkers went about the streets bawling out arand Conspiracy ! ! Ecc. and offering to the passers by, for one sous, a paper which was nothing tl,se than the article we published the day before yesterday, respecting the arrest of the Sieurs Romi 1„ Stingy, Btc. but somewhat lengthened and disfigured. The Police seized a great number of these criers, of whom Paris has for some time been happily de- livered, and who, during the period of the Revciu tion, assailed our ears with the recital of all sort.: of events, true or false, by which they deceived credu lous people, and which they ordinarily proclaimed in a manner quite different from the writing which they offered to sell. General Cannel does not yet appear to have pre sented himself to justice. It was on the 2d that Sieur Songy was arrested, in the hotel where he re sided with this General, who absented himself on the same day. It was not till the following week, how ever, that he was cited before the Juge d'lnstruction, and that, in consequence of his not appearing, a war rant was issued against him, and his papers seized.— Journal de Paris. To the details which we have published respecting the proceedings instituted against the Sieur Romilly and his associates, we have to add, that on the 2d instant General Cannel quitted his house a few mo ments after the arrest of Sieur Songy, who is said to be his Under Secretary, and has never since returned. Cited some days after before the Juge d'lnstructipn, it appears that he did not present himself, and that he has paid as little obedience to the warrant which was in consequence issued against him. The Officers of Justice proceeded accordingly to his house, and put all his papers under seal.—(Gazette de France.) French Five per Cents. Friday-77 fr. 90 c. A ccntemporary Evening Paper states, that the Emperor of AUSTRIA is new in the capital of the Grand Duke of BADEN, and a hope is expressed that his MAse.rx may, by his personal influence, be able to bring about an arrangement of the existing dif ference between the Grand Duke and his cousin, the King of BAVARIA. It is a pity, for the sake of so good au object, th4r, there should be any error in thz Geography of this statement. But so it is ; the Baden at which the Emperor now is, is not the Capital of the Grand Duchy, but a place of the same name, famous for its hot baths, distant only about six leagues from Vienna. A Gentleman who has arrived from Grenada, in the ARUNDEL, after an extraordinary quick passage, reports, that on the 14th of May a schooner cleared out there for the Spanish Main, has ing on board the following Gentlemen, who had arrived from England at Grenada in the ship Grace, and were proceeding to join the Patriots :---Messrs. FERRIES, M'tRRAY, Bowtx, MENNETT, MUSASICEY, CHILD, BROOKER, BURRY, SIMPSON, Huj.rv, and SEWARD—that the schooner had not gone more than a league out to sea, when a Spanish Royalist brig, mounting four teen guns, with a full complement of officers and men, which was lying off the island, immediately cut her cables and gave chase ; that, in a short time she came within gun-got of the schooner, and that, after exchanging a few shots, the latter struck her colours. Our informant adds, what we feel great difficulty in believing, that after the cap ture every person on board the'seltooeuer leas put to death! The following morning - chi Spanish brig at tempted to return back to Grenada, but the Governor ordered the Major of the Fort not to permit her to anchor, and several shots were fired at her before she sheered off, and proceeded to sea. It will be observed from the account of the pro ceedings of the Convention of Burghs, contained in another page, that on the petition and concurrence of the different parties interested, various important alterations have been made in the set of the Burgh of Dundee, and it seems to be the general opinion, that where all the parties interested agree, the Con vention possesses the power of making alterations and improvements in the constitution of the Burghs. This is certainly a most important and valuable privilege, and gives the Burghs an easier access to reformation, than when they are either obliged to apply to Parliament or the Privy Council. A jealousy of any change in the present defective constitution of the Scotch Burghs has most unac countably arisen, and there appears a reluctance to extend the privilege of Election to the Burgesses, from some apprehension of danger to the Constitu tion, as if it could ever be dangcrotik to give the Burgases , a eositroul over the local administration of their respective towns, by allowing them to choose their own Magistrates. There can, we are convinced, be no danger in acceding, and with a good grace, to so reasonable a request. The Constitution granted to Montrose, is a fair and liberal precedent; and, though this has been very freely censured, as too great a concession, it would be difficult to show that it has been of any ill consequence to the local inte• rests of that Burgh. If the different parties then, who are interested in the administration of the Scotch Burghs, influenced by plain experience, can be brought to agree in any plan for redressing evils which all acknowledge, they have now only to apply to the Annual Convention, where there can be little doubt that their petitions will be granted. This mode of proceeding will supersede all application to higher authorities, and thus both time and trouble, and no little dissatisfaction, will be .saved.—Coledo nian Meicury. . Our Readers will observe, with concern, from the accounts given in another part of our Paper, that the system of Combination among the Manufactu ring Labourers of Manchester, Stockport, and other towns in the North, has begun to assume an orga nized and formidable aspect. It were as idle to think i of reasoning with men who have assumed an attitude of force like this, as it would be pusillanimous to indulge in whining complaints about any presumed folly and ingratitude in their conduct. We have no reason, a priori, to conclude (whatever our own pri vate impressions may be) that their demand for an increase of wages is wrong ; but we are entitled to say, that the mode they have chosen to determine the point is wrong—because it is a mode proscribed and punishable by law—a mode which is at variance with all good order and all fair dealing between man and man—and a mode, which, though often resorted to, has never yet been productive of the least good to its abettors; but has, on the contrary, only served to make matters worse for the labouring manufacturer, than they would otherwise have been. If the labour ing manufacturers have a just claim for an increase of wages, the law has provided them with a means of establishing it, by an appeal to the judicial authori ties of their district. When instead of this they think proper to appeal to means of conspiracy, in timidation, and force, there can be no other alterna tive, than that the law, just to itself, and faithful to the whole social body whose interests are under its pro tection, should instantly exert its utmost vigour in put ting them down, and visiting them with that plmish ment which their treason to it so richly deserves. In doing so, as a contemporary justly observes, the Ju dicial Authorities of the country will be fcllowing, what 4$ to the Nation at large is the only wise policy, and to the offenders themselves, will at last be the only real humanity." The account of the state of the Qualm yesterday from Kew was—' Her Mamma , has not had a good night, and is not so well as she was yesterday." Yesterday morning the Duke of CLARENCE con ducted his Duchess to the apartments of the Duke and Duchess of CUMBERLAND, and afterwards pro ceeded over the spacious suite of rooms for holding levees and drawing-rooms. In the afternoon, the Duke and Duchess left town for Combe-wood, on a visit to the Earl and Countess of Ltvaaroot., where their Royal Highnesses dined, and were met by the PRINCE REGENT, &C. _ _ Lord BvnouEnsu, Envoy Eztraordinary and Mi nister Plenipotentiary of his MAJESTY to several of the Italian Courts, and now actually accredited to that of Parma, was presented to the Archduchess MARIA LOUISA. (BONAPARTE'S wife), on the llth of last month, a public audience. He delivered his Majesty's Credentials into the Archduchess's hands, and notified to her the marriage of the Princess Et,t zAsErn and the Prince of HEsse-Homaoueo. The Cit.txtettot of the EitaisquErt has granted a sum of .f 2560 for the Relief Of the Inhabitants of Scilly and Islands. It is stated, however, by the Cornwall Gazette, that £lOOO at least are necessary to satisfy their present necessities and from £2OOO to £3OOO to establish mackerel aad pilchard fisheries, as the only measure of permanent support. The same Paper strongly recommends the opening of subscriptions for that charitable purpose. . . . EXTRACT 0? A PRIVATE LETTER PROM CUARLESTON, DATED JUNE 5. " JACTIOI4, in his progress through the Florida., has dispos sessed the Spaninds of the Fortress of St. Mark's, on the flay of Appaloche, and, it is said, has sent a detachment aga:nst Pensacola. They have not, as yet, made any advance beyond Amelia Island, on the Atlantic sine of Fast Florida ; but the Ge.nunandte of that Island, with whom I am well acquainted, informs al:, that he daily expects order. to march upon St. Au gustine. Were the Governor properly supported, there is no doubt but he would give his ass:'-ilants a warm reception. There are, however, strong reasons to conclude that his garrison can not be depended upon. a You may rely upon it, that if the United . Sfates occupy the Florida., the whole Navy of England, in the event of a war, could not protect the trade of the Gulph Stream. Such is the importance of the position to the American Union, that I be lieve they would even hazard a war with all the Powers of F.urope rather than see these Provinces in the hands of Great Britain ; for in that event the Western and Atlantic State. would soon be compelled to separate them from the rest. " The American people, In their political capacity, have ad vanced more rapidly than any community tither in ancient or modern history, and, if unchecked a fcw years longer, they will be more powerful than any European Nation. Every nerve is strained to realize all the anvantages they possess. Their inter nal improvements are rapid, and well planned. The division of the legislative power among the States, in all matters inte resting to their local character, is of immense advantage, and relieves the general Government of a mass of business through which they could not hope to wade during a session. and I con ceive this to be the main support of this federative system, which is no longer probiematical, but certain, In the utility of its ope rations. Althounh I admire the system, and accord with mar, of the results, 'which are peculiar to itself, yet there are, in the present state of things, many defects to be observed, which ° remain for future time and wisdom to remove. But on the whole ' the perfection to which the political institutions of those people have attired does them tthute credit, and vc vises to place them one thy at the head of 'the most glorious nations of the earl." THE ARMY. The several Regiments of Cavalry are removing into new quarters. The Ist Royal Dragoons are leaving York for Scotland, and are to be replaced by Prince - Igoe° es Regiment, the sth Dragoon Guards, which Corps will be relieved at Ipswich, Norwich, and -Ely, by the 15th Hussars. As the Scots Greys passed through Gatehouse (North Britain) last week, on their way to Ireland, each soldier was presented with a glass of whiskey, as a small mark of the veneration and esteem in which these gallant heroes of Waterloo are held by the inhabitants of that Burgh. Friday last the Officers of the Royal Horse Guards Cgave an elegant dejeune, at that deligli.tt ul retreat, liefden Spring, at which were present upwards of 200 persons, consisting of the principal families in the neighbourhood, and the Officers of the Royal Foot Guards. Four tables, spread with the choicest viands, fruits, ices, &c. were laid under marquees, and one in the room. The company went in carriages to Maidenhead-bridge, where they embai ked on board a barge, tastefully fitted up for the occasion, which conveyed them to the Spring. Dancing commenced about six o'clock, and continued with great spirit till a late hour, when the numerous and elegant assem blage retired from the festive scene, highly delighted wits their entertabunent.

Mr. BULLOCK, of the bfusenna, with a part of h 4 family, lately sailed in the cutter Elizabeth on a voyage of investigation to the unfrequented Isles is !the - llorth of Europe. In Sands, one of the Or:ncr Wes he visited, the sand has lately been blown a•r:.r to the depth of nearly 20 feet, and has discovered the remains of buildings of vast antiquity, enclosed by stone walls nearly half a mile in extent ; some of the houses are very large , and roofed with stones of pro digious size. They are several circular annuli, each containing three graves, none of which are name than four feet six inches long. There is not the slightest tradition that can throw any light on these very in- Wresting and curious remains, which have yet bets very slightly investigated. Letters from Gap (Upper Alps) state. that an in. Mense mass of earth has fal:en from thk sturazl: c the mmentains upon the CoMmunes of Sigover, louse; and Pardier, and covered or devastated era portion of those districts. The mass, covering altar. extent, bore away with it nearly all the vegetsb.e earth ; crops, vineyzrds, and large blocks of woc2f.l disappeared ; the idhabitants, in danger of thir had scarcely time to quit their houses.
