The Paris Papers of Saturday arrived this fore noon.4--The Provisional Bureau -of the Chamber of Deputies had an auditing of the Kum on' Friday morning, when they presented to his MAJWITY the list of fire Candidates for the Ace of President. • The 'Chamber met in the afterridOn of the same day, when M. Awq&ni the Pre'sidentfrom seniorityA naliollaiced that he had 'received a letter from the • Minister of the Interior, enclosing an Ordinance of the girth, by whith his MiirsaT nominated M. RAVEZ; who stood at 'the head or Ole list of Candi dates, to be President. M. RAvzz not being present at this Sitting, his installation into the Chair was deferred till the fol- lowing day. , -- The Chamber then priteecled to the nomination of. four Secretaries, when the following Members were elected :—M M. DE ST. AULAIRM, BOIN, PAIL LOT DE LOYNES, andAtrotat (General). The Chamber of Peers had not, as was expected. any meeting on Saturday. The Budget of this year will, it h said, be pre sented in different pets, forming so many distinct projects of Law—such as the Receipt, Expenditure, and particular Budget of each Minister. This ar rangeulent will tend to facilitate the discussion, and obviate anycomplication of questions which may arise. The proceedings against the Sieur Cantillon, ac cused of having fired a. pistol at the voiture of the D . :4l:e of WEL Li wrow, and against the Sieur Marinet, implicated in the same affair, are said to be ap proaching a termination. Cantillon underwent, on Saturday, a second examination before the Judge of Instruction. The Florence Gazette contains the following ex tract from a. dispatch received from Cairo by his Eicellency OsstAn Ada, General in the service of the Viceroy of Egypt : " CAIRO, OCTOBER 14. “ In spite of the fall of their capital, and the de feat of — their army, the Wachabites had again as : . sembled in sufficient numbers to tempt of new the fate of arms. The battle took place in the environs of the town of Deryoh. The Wachabites fought with fury, but were forced to yield to the talents of Ibra him Pacba, and the disciplined valour of his troops. The field of battle was covered with their dead. By a stratagem worthy of a great General, Ibrahim 1 Dacha got possession of the person of Abdallah him self, the Prince of the Wachabites, with all his family, composed of more than forty individuals. This blew appears for ever to have put an end to the power of theWachabites. Prince Abdallah, with the Princes and Princesses of his family, are expect ed at Cairo, where grand triumphal fetes are prepar ing for their arrival. They will be conveyed to Con stantinople trader a good guard.” The Black Sea has been greatly disturbed by tem pests for some time past, which have occasioned a number of shipwrecks. Among the vessels which have perished, mention is made of a Russian brig of war, and a Danish ship, which had on board M. MOSTEIRO, Portuguese Consul-General at Odessa who perished with the whole of his family. The Funds experienced no variation on Friday but left off at the same price as on Thursday, 63f.60c. Last night we received German Papers to a late date. In a Frankfort Journal of the 15th, we find an article from-Berlin, according to which 'the Coun cil of State, to whom the task of flaming a new system of Government was confided, are said to have brought their labours to a close ; and the most con fident expectations are entertained, that in its general outline the plan which they have proposel will meet with the approbation of the majority of the Council. though discussions may arise, leading Co some al terations in its details. It differs from the British model of Government, in having only one Legislsla. Live Assembly ; but there may be reasons, of which we are not at present aware, for giving the preference in Prussia, to such an arrangement, though not adapted to the habits nor circumstances of the people of this country. At all events, this is a minor consi deration, compared with the great and invaluable, privileges which the Prussian nation will obtain un der the new system. A military road is, it is said, to be granted to Prussia for a pecuniary indemnifica tion, through the several petty States which se parate her old territories from the Grand Duchy of the Rhine. The squabbles between the Go vernments of the petty Cantons of Switzerland and the Papal Clergy still continue. The Grand Seignior is said to have given the son of the Ex- Hospodar of Wallachia assurances of his protection, notwithstanding his displeasure at the Right of the father, whose fears he. affects to consider as entirely unfounded : • • • " AUGSBURG, DEC. is. is A letterrl44 we have received from Berlin (bat not from eisy of oar anal correspoodeats), says-wlt is well kaevrwebat tea months ego, Prussia promlo4,, in dig German Diet, during the debates es the 13th Article Odle Acts of Confedontion, to prepar*lnd draw up is Constitution in one year.

According to this the Prussian Constitution would be use of the most libe ral in Europe—and to whom are we indebted for it? To mm who organised the Conseil of State so and not othetwia- •tA Privy Ceencillor Eteatuoar—to a Sawawr—a ones, the warns advocate of the publicity of judicial proceedings—and to others whom I need not name. It can hardly be doubted but that the Kim wig give his entire approbation to a Constitution proposed to him by the *hole Council of State." A Much Mail arrived this mornir.g. As might be expected, it is occupied with details respect ing the re-occupation of the frontier fortresses by the French ; who are also remounting their cavalry, and adopting other arrangements suitable to the character of a Military Power. We are sorry to see this anxiety. Let what name there may be given to such measures, they are neither more nor less than priparations for war. We mean not, however, to in sinuate that war is at present contemplated, but this anxiety to be ready for it, actually tends to hasten its approach; for preparations on one side produce jealousy and counter preparation on the other: and the immediate effect is expense, and consequently complaints of the pressure of taxes. We would be lieve that the Monarchs of Europe gave full confi dence to the pacific declarations of each other, if we saw them dismantling, instead of strengthening their frontier fortresses—disbanding, instead of increasing their armies. A contrary Conduct outweighs all their other professions, and proves but too plainly, that they respectively place no confidence in their mutual professions of friendship and peace. BRUSSELS, We learn from France that the first 20,000 of the levy wilt be immediately incorporated into the De partmental Legions, and the second 20,000 in the course of January. It is supposed, that. in the course of next year, 40,000 men more will be added to the Standing Army. Meantime the voluntary enrol. ments continue, particularly for the Guard. Within these few days, several Half-pay Officers belonging to the Cavalry and Artillery have been placed on active service, and as soon as the Cadres for the 3d battalion are formed, it is supposed that a much larger number will be engaged. The departure of the foreign troops has had a very favourable effect on the public mind with respect to the order_ of things now prevailing in France, and perfect tranquillity reigns throughout the kingdom. The Government is zealously engaged in the fur ther organization of the Army. Orders have been given to arm all the fortresses evacuated by the Bri tish and Russian troops in the same manner as they were previous to the occupation: they are already beginning to place Artillery on the ramparts. The Minister has also given orders to Make three Legions quite complete, as the Ordinances prescribe. The Legion of the North is one of them, which is the reason of its being aligmented by a company of At tillery and a company of Erlaireurs a Cheval ; every Legion will be composed of troops of all arms. A great number of volunteers are wanted, and great purchases of horses have been made for the Cavalry. France endeavours gradually to resume the military attitude which becomes her as one of the first Euro . - pean Powers. The last letters from Paris positively state, that it is intended to recal many of the persons banished by the Royal Ordinance ; but the names of those to whom this favour is intended, are not certainly known. As soon as they return to France, they will be released from all surveillance, and allowed to reside in whatever part of the kingdom they may think fit. FRANKFORT. DECEMBER 12. The accounts from a great number of towns in Germany speak only of the passage of the troops re turning from France. The strictest discipline is observed. BRUSSELS, .DBCEDIBER If. His Majesty has ordered that the bounties for the encouragement of the whale►fishery shall be conti nued from the Ist of January, 1819, to the Ist of January, 1822—half to be paid on the sailing of the vessel, to be restored if the conditions are not com plied with, the . other half on the return of the vessels. BERLIN, DECEMBER ig. The Minister of State, Baron Stein, of Altenstein, is arrived here from Aix-la-Chapelle; and Prince Adam, of Wurtemburg, Major-General in the Rus sian service, from Stuttgard. We learn from Hamburgh, that the young men lately arrested there upon the requisition of the Spanish Minister, when about- ta embark' for South America, have been set at liberty. Shortly after- wards they assembled to the number of 800, and re paired to the Danish territory, where they have been allowed to embark without any molestation. The New Yotk Papers received yesterday confirm the intelligence, received by previous arrivals, of the cession, by the Chickasaws, of all their lands in the States of Tennesse and Kentucky, for an annuity of 50,000 dollars for fifteen years. The various tracks of ceded territority contain about 7,000,000 of acres. We have this morning received Ph iladelphia Pa pers to the 17th November, from which we extract the following articles : FROM " THE FREEMAN'S JOURNAL" OF NOV. is. PaNsAcor.a.—We learn from a Gentleman who lately arrived from Pensacola, (says the Mobile Go odie of October 29,) that Captain Baylis, to whom General Jackson gave the command of a company of Rangers, has had another brush with the Indians, and has been wounded and brought to Pensacola, although his party had the advantage of the Indians. We learn further, that part of the troops stationed at Pensacola had commenced their march for Appala cEicola, but on the arrival of a messenger, with dis patches for the Commander at Pensacola, they were ordered to return to that place. BALTIMORE, NOVEMBER 16. Captain. Willis, of the schooner James, H. M'Cul loch, arrived at this port last evening, in 16 days from Aux Cayes; left at that place the schooner Venus, Samson, of New York, which had arrived in seven days from SI. Thomas's. Captain Samton states, that while in sight, and within four leagues ofl Aux Cayes, on the 14th October, at ten, A.M. was boarded by a small sloop, manned with 20 men, all Blacks except the Captain. They were all armed with muskets, swords, and pistols. They without any hesitation boarded, robbed, and plundered the said schooner of her cargo, also her cabin and ship stores• —They also commenced to commit the same der e dations on the clew, by stripping them of the wear ing apparel that they stood in. When Captain Sam son remonstrated with them, they drew their poig nards and threatened his life. His crew being un• armed, it was in vain to resist. After detaining the schooner four hours, they let her to proceed to her place of destination, where she arrived next morning. MOBILE, OCTOBER 12. Prtssacoxa.—The situation of this town is very singular. By the Articles of Capitulation, the Spa nish law is in force. Under the Spanish Government all sums in'Controversy over 100 dollars, had to be decided by the Governor. We understand that no oncsince our troops have taken possession has ewer. cised the jurisdiction formerly exercised by the Spa." nich Governor, and that all sums due over 100 dol lars by any persons there, cannot now be collected. It is time that something definitive should be done in reference to this place. Extract from a private letter, dated Copenhagen, the Ist of December:—" Our City still exhibits in many parts a sorrowful spectacle. The marks of the English bombardment in 1807, are but too visible, and the houses then destroyed by the flames have only been in part rebuilt. " The expense of buildings, and of all sorts of ma- 1 aerials, as well as the general scarcity of money in 'this country, will probably prevent, for years to come, ,the reparation of the injury which our shipping and marine suffered at that disastrous epoch. " The King does what he can toefface every trace of these devastations ; but notwithstanding his laudable efforts, the inhabitants of Copenhagen can scarcely move a step in their streets, nor approach the port, without having occasion to sigh over the melancholy consequences of the orders given by the English Ministry to carry off our fleet and bombard our capital." Yesterday evening at half-past five o'clock, the Patxcle ItEcrxr arrived at Carlton House from Brighton. There is no truth in the assertion, put forth in a Manchester Paper, that SIT CHAR LES Woo LESLEY and Sif FRANCLS BURDETT, had agreed to become bail rfor Drummond, Baguley, and Johnson, confined in' I Chester Castle, for Sedition ; the subscription that was raised at the Liverpool Dinner, though it will afford considerable relief to these men and their fa milies, was by no means sufficient to procure their release ; nor is there any probability of their being liberated before the day of trial. The fog was again ancommotly intense in and round the Metropolis this morning. In the White chapebroad, several carts from Essex, coming to market, were overturned : one of these, bringing mis tletoe, icc. to town, was met near Stratford by a post chaise and pair, the pole of which run into the cart horse's chest sad hurt it so much, that the poor animal died in about half an hour afterwards. Letters have been received from Mr. BEVAN and Mr. JoEss, the Missionaries to Madagascar, dated at Port Louis, Isle of France, July 9th, 1818, where they arrived' on the Sd of that month. His Excellency Governor HALL received them very courteously, but discouraged their proceeding to Madagascar at pre sent, chiefly on account of the . Slave-trade, in which almost all the Europeans there engage, notwithstand ing the treaty entered into with the King of POA. So little is that treaty regarded, that since the date of it 1,700 Slaves have been imported into the Mauritius, &c, Our Readers will be fled in hearing that a New Volume of HORACE IT ILLIteLe CORRESPONDENCE is just published. -t• ''. • 2 • NAVAL I.': TELL) PORTSMOUTH, DEC Wind N.—Came into harbor RosAnt°, to be paid off.
