The Paris Papers of Tuesday arrived this morn ing, but furnish nothing worth extracting,--Five per Cents. Monday, 78 fr. 10 c. It is with some astonishmeat we have read an at tempt in a contemporary Journal of this morning to vindicate the barbarous Order issued by General JACKSON, for "plating to death every hostile ( Indian) warrior that may be found" within a certain ranz,e of the territory of West Florida. • The Indians, it is said, " spare neither man, wo man, nor child ;" but the Americas do spare the women and children, and only massacre the men, so that the Americans are, to the amount of two-thirds,' less barbarous than the Indians. Again, the Ameri cans " know that if they do not destroy the Indians, the Indians will destroy them." Nay more, " a long expet ience has convinced the Americans that the in dependent existence of the IndiaLs is perfectly i:!con sisteot with the progress of civilization." Now first a word or two, as to the matter of fact. It is oily very palti illy true that the Indians spare neither man, woman, nor child—women and children they spare generally, their male prisoners very fre quently; and in many instances they have shess n ex amples of humanity and kindness, from whi;:h their more civilized neighbours need not disdain to take • example. Neither is it true, that if the Americans " do trot destroy the Indians, the Indians wiil desliey them." The assertion is palpably false—the Indians have every thing to fear horn the encroaching ra ) ::- -,ity cf the whites, but if the whites will be content with the territory which they have already usurped rroin its aboriginal owners, and not seek to press any /archer upon a brave, persecuted race, they have no thing whatever to fear from the Indians. The Ame ricans—the great Yankee Nation destropd by a tribe of wandering Indians! The assertion must look redi -,ulaus even to the Yankees themselves. So perfectly untenable indeed, are these grounds of exculpate es, that immediately afterwards we find it is not the existence of the Indians, but their " ilvenzlent existence" which is quarrelled with as in consistent with the progress of civilization. It will he observed, however, that the present is not a question as to the independent existence of the Indians—but a question as to their existence at all in any shape. The order of General JACKSON is not .one of subjugation—of conquest—but one of utter itermination—Every hostile sunrrior is to be put to dm:A—their wives and children alone are to be spar :J. And were it even a question as to the independent existence of these people, by what principle, it may be asked, of reason or justice are the Americans entitled to assume to themselves the power of deter mining that such indopendcla existence is " perfectly inconsistent v. kir tl:e progress of ?" The Americans, we pre..unie, mean to favour the world with another new law of nations on this sub ject, to place by the side of that which they have so tugeniously devised to justify their seizure of the Fanidas. Were the conduct of the Indians even as bar barous as it is represented to be, it can be no jus tification of a nation pretending to be champions .of the " progress of civilization," that they have only done what savages are in the practice of doing. It is not necessary to exterminate in order to subdue ; and it is against the practice of all civilized nations to carry the horrors of war further than the principle of r.ecessity can excuse. Theorder of General JACK son appears to us altogether indefensible on any principle of justice, equity, or buminity. It is a barbarous, inhuman act of proscription, against an unfortunate and persecuted race of people.- It, is an edict of massacre, and, next to issuing such a mandate, we know nothing worse than the act of sittir.g down in cold blood to defend it. • Mails from Holland and liamburgh arrived this forcnoon.

At the same time it is ordered, that all sugar refined in the kingdom, shall receive, on ex portation, a bounty of '2l Schilling Banco in silver. The heat incre.:ces here, and the Thermometer is generally at noon '2l of ReAumur, in the shade. _ _ On the 21st tic lightning struck a ncighbctning village, and in a short time the buildings of three farms . wcte reduced to ashes. ST, PETERSBURGH, JULY io. On the 17th July his Majesty the. King of Prussia will leave this city to retwa to his dominions. This morning these was a grand review of infantry and artillery, in the presence of the Emperor of Russia and Kind of Prussia. His Imperial Highness the Grand Duke Nicholas i., prevented from taking any share in the numerous and brilliant fetes given to his father-in-law, the King of Prussia, on account of the measles, with which he is now ill. It is however ,hoped that he will soon recover. SiocK:foLlf, JULY 21. For this fortnight past we have hal the heat gene rally between '29 and .30 of. tae Thcrrnameter of Celsu3. Old people cannot remember such a long continuance of hot weather. ~llowever, the Harvest in the Provinces is likely to be better than was at Gast expected, there having bzen frequent thunder showers. I The Diet, which was rroclaimed here on the 21st of November last year, and by she memorable acces sion of the New Dynisty has been prolonged -to double the period fixed by the Constitution, was this day terminated. At noon his Majesty, in the Royal costume, attended by his Guard, the Royal House hold, and the Four Estates, proceeded between a double line of the Guards to the great Church, and after the Sermon, preached by the Bishop (Baron loennci), to tilt,. Ilall of the Diet, where, after the ( - reecho of the Land Marshal and the three Speakers, the 'Yet was fortually'closed by a discourse from the Tho ne. :' , :ajesty's speech was delivered by the Crown Prince at his M tjesty's side, in the Swedish language. In all there are three ships going to the African Coasts. That which is bound to Al!;iers takes in its :argo here, but that which goes with 30 cannon (24- pounders) and 90t.,4 bails to Tripoli, and that with 24 cannon of the same size, and a quantity of am munition to Tunis, are loaded at Norkoping and Rykopings The English Ambassador, Lord Strangford, resides this summer at the beautiful country seat of Bellevue, which belongs to the King. The Minister of State, Count Engestrorn, and the Chancellor. Baron Wel lerstedr, will be. present at the King's Coronation at Drontheim. FIANOVETt, JUL? sa. Public accounts say that the disputes with a part of the students have become more serious. It is said there have been affrays with the military sent thither and the students, in which several persons hare been wounded, and two killed. A great part of th.. stu- I dents went upon this to the little Hessian town of Witzenhauzen. We must wait fo'r more particular ' and authentic accounts of these event; It is not to be doubted but tranquillity and order will scor. be !restored. LIX-LA-CIIAPELIF, JULY 30. His I lighness Prince IlArdenberg, the Grand Chan cellor of State, arrived'here yesterday, with the Prin cess, his consort. To-day, after having viewed the Hotel of Bellendorff, which is preparing for his High ness's residence during the Congress, they proceeded to Spa, where they will make some stay. The number of visitors who resort hither continues to increase ;,we remark a great many Officers of rank, of various nations. The numbs.: of strangers iascribed on the list, up to 30th July, is 1491. Prince Hardenberg has placed a sum of 13,000 francs at the disposition of the President of the Re gency, with the promise of a farther sum, if it should be necessary, to continue the works that are begun in this.city, and put it in a condition to receive the il lustrious guests who are expected. There are very different opinions respecting the duration of the Congress. The fact is, that the ho- 1 tels have been hired for two months, with a stipula tion for a sum in proportion, in case the stay of our illustrious guests should be prolonged. HAGUE, AUGLTBT e. This morning a courier arrived from Soestdyk, bringing the agreeable news that her Royal Highness the Princess of Orange was safely delivered of a Prince this morning, between ten and half-past ten o'clock, and that both her Royal 1 - 14bness and the leis understood that Lord C.Asy.tazacii will al young Prince were well at the departure of the cou.. most immediately leaie London for Aix-la-Chapelle, rier.

Kew, A e'ovsr G.—Yesterday morningthe Duchess of GLOUCESTER and the Duke of CAMBRIDGE left here for Windsor, on a visit to the Princess SOPIIIA. Their Royal Highnesses returned hereto dinner.— Prince LEOPOLD, attended by Sit ROBERT Manx- NErl, arrived here yesterday (on his way from Lon don to Claremont), about half-past two o'clock, on a visit to the QC:.6S and the Princess AUGUSTA. The Prince .afterwards proceeded on to Claremont, to dinner. The Dalte and Duchess of CAMBRIDGE spent yesterday evening at the Palace. Weinesday, Mince I..pairotts paid a visit to the ()vette, and afterwards called on Princess Auousr*. He reached Kew about half-past two o'clock. Not withstani.lirin_ the peripd that has elapsed since the decease of tl:e Princess CHARLOTTE of WALES, his beloved .wig - e, his Royal Highness and servanis still continue in deep mourning. Tim Mite or GLiii;cesiFf:,—..l letter from Brest, dated the 29th tilt. states. that on the 27th a frigate entered the Roads, having on board his Royal High ne,s the Duke of Gt.ovceseen. After a salute from the batteries this Prince landed, and was received, with acclamations by a numerous assemblage. He was escorted to the Hotel of the Commandant of the Naval Forces. Next morning, the Officers of the garrison, at the head of whom were the Generals Count d'lllovEttse and Baron de Goour.LAr, with the Civil and Administrative Authorities, were pre sented to his Royal Highness, who conversed with them in the most affable manner. In the course of the day, the Prince reviewed the troops and artillery of the marine, and expressed his satisfaction at their fine appearance; and the precision of their =tutu . vres. A sumptuous dinner was given by Count Goya , DON, at whicl‘were present all the distinguished per sonages of the place. In the evening his Royal High ' ness went to the Theatre, accompanied by the Mayor and Chiefs of the different Authorities. The orches tra played the English air of " Gan save the Kin," and immediately after, e Vise Henri IV." The august traveller, on every occasion, expressed his lively sense of the kind reception he met with in this town. ENGLISH OPERA.—Last night, after the Opera of The Americans, that of The Drq.rter f Naples was pel formed for the first time this season. Mr. T. P. Coosce undertook the part of Henry, in which he was extremely well received. He particularly dis tintorished himself in the combat scene, which con cludes the first act. Mr. W. S. CrIATTERLEY ap peared as Skirmish, the drunken character of which Musnats used to make so much. Under all the dis advantages of such a recollection he acquitted him self in a very respectable manner. NIT. Waxixsos's Simplissafforded great amusement, and Miss KitaLises Lass . isa possessed all the energy and feeling which this admit able actress possesses an so eminent a degree, and exercises upon all occasions when she is presented nith an opportunity. Thehouse was well attended. Miss Pors.-.-It is a - remarkable circumstance in the theatrical career of the late' celebrated MisrPops, that during a period of more than half a centurl 4w remained constant to the boards of Drury-lane, and, with the exception of a season at Dublin. and one at Liverpool, never performed at any other theatre.—As a child, she was distinguished by Gmister, and we believe she may with truth be considered as the last of his school. Tuesday evening, a large assemblage of persons took place in Catherine -street, Strand, for upwards of four hours, nearly preventing the passing of car riages, &c. It seems that a private Theatre is there situated, known by the name or the Minor Theatre, in which apprentice boys and girls idle away the time of their masters and mistresses, to the- injury of their morals, and the great annoyance of the neighbour hood. On the evening mentioned, a performance took place, when, as is said to be usual, more tickets were issued than the building could possibly contain. Those who were so fortunate as to arrive early pro cured seats, leaving those who did not take that pre caution destitute of accommodation. The number thus disappointed w•ac great ; and, to prevent their admission, all the entrances were made fast, which served to irritate the rabble. A violent attack on the doors took place with stones, which were ready to the assailants hands in consequence of the Saviors being at work in the street, accompanied by loud shouts, and which continued at intervals till past twelve o'clock. Several boxing-matches occurred, at which the, faits Guardians of the Night looked on with a cool and determined composure, apparently consider , ing it improper to interfere. PARISIAN FA suloms.—Gauze hats are very pre valent ; they are generally bordered either with woke; ,noaths or plaits. Instead of chased flowers at the borders, there are often ordinary wreaths. Some mot/ides make their bonnets of citron crape, trimmed. with Scots or plaid ribbon. The flower of the service tree is one of those in most general use. They shape the long hair into several folds in order to abridge its length, and place light weights at the end of each ringlet, to make it lie close, enlarging the toupet at the same time ; by which means, the bottom of hats appear narrotrer, without their set or direction being the more vertical, because the hair is fastened toge ther at the back part, instead of the top of the head. The cornets are now made to come very low. The trains of robes are also made longer than ordinary, and the ends of the girdles are made very broad. FLORID:CR, JULY ls.—At the great Exhibition of the Fine Arts, at this Court, were displayed the casts of the marbles which Lord ELGIN brought from the Temple of MINRRVA, at Athens, called the Pantile- , non, and which now form the principal ornaments of the National Museum of England. These casts are a present from the Patna RISGENT of ESGLAND, to our Sovereign ; in return for which, several of the' finest Statues of our celebrated Gallery, are to be modelled, and sent to his Royal Highr.ess the Pa sc E Rzoasrr of Great Britain. • Among them is the cele brated pof thong and her children.
