The Paris Papers of Wednesday arrived this fore room—The Emperor ALEXANDIR and King of Pays am left Valenciennes on the night of the 24th, and after visiting Maubeuge and Sedan, they were ex pected to arrive in Paris on the morning of the 28th. The King of PRUSSIA, it is said, was to pass the 29th and SOth at Paris, and to leave it on the Slst. It was not supposed that the Emperor of RUSSIA would stop longer than one day, but depart on the night of the 28th and 29th. Prince DOLGOROUKI, attached to the service of the EMPEROR, and M. BOTOVRLIN, his bl AJZSTY'S Aid-de-Camp, had already arrived on the afternoon of the 27th. Count URBNA, the Chamberlain to the Emperor of AUSTRIA, had, on Tuesday, an audience of Loris, when he presented a letter to his MAssszy, from his Imperial Master. The French funds continue in rather a depressed state. On Tuesday the 5 per cents. left off at 71t. 95c. A Dutch Mail azrived this forenoon with Papers to the 28th instant. We find under the head of Valen ciennes a farther account, in addition to that we have already received, of the military manoeuvres on the field of Ptrcars, on the 23d instant, which, as pos sessed of some features of novelty, we subjoin; VALENCIENVES, OCTOBER 94. Yesterday the grand review and the military ma nceuvres that succeeded it, tool: place near this city ; it was a most magnificent sight. An immense crowd of strangers, from the frontiers of ' Belgium and all the neighbouring towns, were present. At day-break the Saxon, Danish, and Hanoverian troops, were in motion, and joined the English army in the plain of Denain. The latter represented a retreat towards the camp of Famars. These immense forces developed themselves. Above sixty thousand infantry, six thou sand cavalry, and 130 pieces of cannon, manoeuvred till six o'clock in the afternoon. The heights of Famars, crowned with an immense crowd of spectators, were several times carried at the point of the bayonet, and the prisoners taken in these sham combats restored without exchange. The finest weather favoured these manoeuvres, which were commanded by his Grace the Duke of Wellington. The Emperor Alexander and the King of Prussia remained constantly on horseback, followed by a numerous and brilliant suite, and by some hundreds of spectators on horseback. Fear Famars the Emperor Alexander was seen suddenly to quit his suite and gallop towards the astonished crowd—it was to take a pinch of snuff from the snuff-box of a peasant.— Some time after the latter, still holding his box open, seemed to solicit the attention of the Emperor. The Emperor had the extreme condescension to accept the invitation. " Sire," said the villager, " it is only common snuff."—' Friend," replied Alexander, " I never took any which I thought betterT The pre- 1 sence of this Monarch excites every where joy and enthdsiasm. The Emperor of Russia and the King of Piustia arc gone to-day to the head-quarters of the Russian Army at Maubeage, where Lie tenar.t-General Count Woron7.ow will give them. a splendid Fete and Ball. The most distinguished Ladies of the neighbour% - g . cities and environs ha-.e received invitaticas. To morrow the Monarchs go to Sedan." An article from Aix-la-Chapelle of the 25th, states,l that the Ministers are engaged in drawing up several new Treaties of Alliance, which will be signed by the Russian and Prussian Monarchs immediately after their return to that city ; and that no doubt is enter tained but that before the close of the Congress, an cificial declaration. of its result will be published. Private letters from Paris are mentioned as having been received, which say, " That 6e ;oral Boyer, President of the Republic of St. Domingo, has pro posed to the French Government to recognize the Independence of that Republic, in return for which., he would engage to pay a considerable annual tri bute, and would consent to stipulations which would secure to France great commercial advantages." We can scarcely conceive any thing more unlikely—.in as far at least as regards the matter of tribute. In consequence of the favourable wind prevailing on Monday, we understand that two out of the four ships chartered by General M , Gstaooß, andfreighted with recruits for South America, left the River Thames. They have also arms on board, not only for the troops in the ships, but for the Insurgents on the other side of the Atlantic ; and we believe that the same agent has made large purchases from the manufacturers of muskets at Birmingham, &c. within the last fortnight, and has given some extensive or ders yet remaining to be completed. The Patriot Envoys appear to be in no want of money. This forms a striking contrast to the penury of the Agents of the Mother Country, who have been dis patched to Great Britain not merely to procure arms, but to hire shipping for their transport, as well as for the conveyance of militlTy forces: They have yet produced no money, but offer promises of payment as soon as the Spanish Treasury shall have been re. plenisbed 1 This kind of payment is, of course, by no means so acceptable ; and although some military accoutrements have been obtained upon credit, not one of our ship-owners has come forward, partly de terred by a want of faith in the inducements held out, and partly, we may say, by some reluctance to aid the opponents of the cause of liberty. From a source of unquestionable authority we learn, that the Patriotic army in Chili, is much lar ger than we had reason to suppose. It is tinder th superior command of SAW MARTIN, who enjoys the complete confidence of his troops. It is not true that he remains stationary at Santiago, as he has pushed forward a body of more than 1000 men to St. Luis, in the neighbourhood of which the Royalists have no power to oppose them. It is stated, that the tone , of SAN MARTIN, by the last accounts from him, was thus posted :—At Santiago, 3000 men ; at St. Juan, 1500 men; at Riocha, 1000 men; and at St. Luis, 1000 men ; making a total force of between 6 and 7000 mer.. On the other hand the Royalist Ossonro, has not more than '2OOO equipped soldiers under hi; cyders, and while the Patriots are daily gaining strength, he is losing it, in consequence of frequent desertions. On the subject of the Expedition which has been so long said to be preparing at Cadiz, the following is an extract of a letter from Madrid of the 16th of October : " The threats held out by our new Ministry, ofl extinguishing the Insurgents in South America, are' as little likely to be fulfilled as ever. The boasted expeditiOn from Cadiz positively stands still for want of funds to carry it on. Troops cannot be obtained without money, or if they could, they cannot be con veyed across the Atlantic without shipping. The body of inn at present collected on the Isla of Leon and its vicinity is very far below the number neces sary for the purpose, and among them great discon teas prevail, which almost have amounted to mu- tiny. Besides this, the shipping, by which I mean the ships of war, are in a very unprovided state: they have neither crews nor stores, so that little hope can' be indulged that it will be ready to sail even at the most distant date yet assigned. All the money that can be afforded from the Treasury is devoted to the pay of the army and navy, but it is by no means suf ficient ; and though the members of our Cabinet may talk of retrenchment, and of undergoing personal privations, it will not produce present money, or sup ply immediate necessities." Another letter from the Agents to Lloyd's at Bue nos Arcs, dated the 15th of August, 181 S, states, " The Patriot Government brig of war Oalvareno (formerly the British brig Lucy), sailed on the 13th instant, for Valparaiso and Pallao,- to cruize off the latter place for the convey from Cadiz to Lima, row at sea. The Galvaren*o mounts sixteen 21-pound carronades, and two long eighteens, and has on board 150 seamen and '25 marines ; and the National vessel the Maypo, will sail in a few days to join her. The Maypo privateer (formerly an Amtnican brig), Capt. DANIELS, has captured three Portuguese ves sels from Rio Janeiro to this place, and is likely to do great mischief to that flag. It is pretty well as certained that ARTIGAS has granted one hundred commissions against the Portuguese, and that nearly all of them hare gone to the United States." We are happy to learn, that by advices received flom Smyrna, of date the 23d of September, that place was then perfectly free from any symptoms of plague or contagion. Yesterd ty the LORD CHANCELLOR paid his respects to the PRINCE REGLNT at Carlton-klouse, upon his arriyal in town. Yesterday the Earl of LIVERPOOL had itn audience of the PRINCE E EC:ENT. _ The Duke of YoKK visited the PRINCE Itscrxr yesterday. Earl BATHURST left Town this day to meet t'. - :e Countess, at her mother', Lady LesoZs scat, Wood end, near Chichester. A very large seizure was made last week at Dover by the Custom-House officers, of contraband goods. which were discovered amongst some baggage of one of the regiments in France, on its being lauded at Dover. _ _ . A few days since, one of the packets tradirg be.; tween Brighton and Dieppe, arrived at the pert of ; Shoreham from Dieppe, with a cargo of eggs, onions. i chesnots, &c. several of which goods were carefully I packed in cases, and to the eye every thing appeared regular and correct; but in removing one of the cases, it by some accident fell and burst, when a par tition in the case split, and out popped a piece of plate glass : this led to suspicion or. the part of the Officers of the Revenue, who immediately caused strict search to be made in every case ; when to their surprize, the greatest part of the partitions were found to be hollow, and contained a variety of prohibited articles, such as silks, gloves, plate glass, &c. BONAPARTE'S RETURN!—The prophet MULLER, more celebrated in Germany than even Mademoiselle TANORMAND is in France, arrived lately at Aix-la- Chapelle, and thought it n ecessary to inform the Regency of the motives of his journey. As the Conn senor, shelved very little respect for the oracle of . German magic, and charitably admonished him that unless he was very cautious in his predictions they would send him out of the city, he took the advice in dudgeon, and replied that they would not long ' enjoy such a power, for in six months NAPOLEON , would return. The Regency ordered him to be , im . prisoned, and his sorcery has not yet enabled him to I eEcct his liberation. THE QUEEN. 1 . Kew, Fast night. gg The QUEEN was evidently worse on Thursday evening, after our account was sent off, than she had been in the early part of the day. Though, from her great exhaustion, her MAissty's complaints are not made audibly, yet it was very apparent that she suffered considerable pain. Her cough, too, was more frequent, and her restlessness produced much fever. In consequence, Sir FRANCIS MILLMAN (the only Physician in attendance) did not retire from the Royal chamber till near midnight ; when her MA JESTY, if possible still more exhausted, sunk into her usual torpor. 44 Her MAJESTY remains much in the same en feebled state as she has done for the last eight or nine days, and at seven o'clock this evening there was no perceptible amendment. • "The PRINCE REGENT arrived at the Palace from Carlton House, about six o'clock. His Royal High ness, after receiving the report of the Physicians, re mained to dinrer with the Patscnson, and probably will not leave them before eleven o'clock. General TAYLOR, Sir ER %NCB MILLMAN, Colonel Si etirN SON, and Sir HENRY HALFORO (Wl.O returned fr.rn .Windsor this afternoon), had the honour of twing of the dinner party. " The PRINCESSES walked out repeatealy in the course of the day, according to their constant prac tice. Their Royal Highnesses received visits from the Dowager Countess of CARDWAN, Countess HAR couur, MIS. FREENIANTLE, Miss BEST, and several others of the neighbouring Geittry." The following Bull e tin was issued this day : sew Pat.ee, Ortubez 34. " The Qum has had several hours sleep, but the symptoms of her MAJEsTv's disease remain un changed. (Signed) U. it I. F.° ma." " 7. MILLMAN. MANCHESTER, OCTOBER 29. PRIVATE LETTER. I learn, with regret, that the Masters have been under the necessity of making a further reduction in the wages of the Weavers.—i am informed that the seduction amounts to the whole of what they so lately o'Jt.ained in advance. It was stated, some time ago, drat they had held meetings to considet of the pro priety of giving in their reeds to such house's as had given notice of their intention to reduce their pricer. This measure, I understand, they afterwards carried into effect ; and have since wished to take them out again, but have been refused, and are under the ne cessity of seeking for new employers, at the reduced prices, which they have been compelled either to ac cept or starve. The resignation and patience with whieh this long-suffering and peaceable body of men ler.,'.nto privations and disappointment, entitle them to universal commiseration ; but I much fear there is no great: probability of any amelioration in their condition. Many of the Masters are men of the most humane and liberal feelings, and would gladly do all in their power to promote the welfare of those they employ ; but they cannot counteract the current of events, which sets so strongly against this once flats ! rishing and well-paid branch of industry. If the weaving trade, however, be depressed, that of the Spinners was never known to be so brisk. The immense foreign orders for cotton twist, particularly from the Northern nations, continue unabated. Two respectable houses here have been busily employed, until a late hoar at night, for some weeks past, in packing and sending off this atticle. lam given to understand, that the immense exportations of twist arc injurious to the trade of the Weaver, and that a duty ought to be laid on it, in order to keep it for working up at home. There is not, however, any possibility of doing this without a legislative enact . - meat ; and were any interference of this End made, to protect the Wearers, it must necessarily, for a time at least, prove irai.ice to the Spinrics. Ilow far it is matter of sound 'volley to allow the exporta tion of twist, duty free, and thereby enable foreigners to compete with in the most important branch of our staple manufactures, must be left to the conside ration of those %chose peculiar province it is to watch over the national interest and prosperity. Thursday se'nnight the calico and muslin wearers of B?lfast :1,•?.):dou:, as it is termed, for an advance of wages. About three thousand of them assembled in. SmithEeld, and afterwards formed into processsion, and marched in a peaceable manner through Belfast, pt•ce:ding acrecs the Long Bridge, towards Bally i macarrett, were they separated. At the Old Bailey Sessions this morning, the first , persons pr: on trial were, William Rayner and John Fuller, for the murder of James Wakeiy, in a boxing match. The witnesses called proved that the de ceased had been the aggressor, had given the chal lenge to fight, and had otherwise acted in a most improper manner : and the Jury, under the direction of the Judge, acquitted the prisoners. Wakely had fought several pitched•battles previous to the casual encounter in which he thus lost his life : The Bank of England prosecutions for Forgeries next came on, when John Lennard, an old man, nearly 70 years of age, was put to the bar, charged with passing a £1 forged note, with intent to defraud, &c. The trial was proceeding when our Reporter came away. At the Clerkenwell Sessions, yesterday, T. Cotcrlery, who had been unlawfully gathering walnuts in Lord RANkLAGH ' S grounds, at Putney, and even break ing the walnut -trees, was sentenced to three months' imprisonment in the House of Correction, for an as sault upon his Lordship's butler. The prisoner was one of a gang . of fifteen, who refuscxl to leave the grounds when desired to do so. He offered.to fight the butler, and when taken called upon his fellows to release him. THE ARMY.
