Dividends ire now, paying at tbi Banta On Thursday the Lotter* draws. Paris Papers to the sth instant arrived last night. They are wholly silent as to the present state and condition of the Grand Army in .the North. A Ca-, ' m a r month has now elapsed since, if we can believe their former statements, the survivors of the inirading ar my were left at Smorgonie, quietly proceeding into winter quarters. The King of NaPLEs (Myna?), the Vice-Roy of ITALY (BEAUHASNOIS), with Mar shah NEY, DAVOUST, LEFIEVRE, and MORTISE', all M e n of great consideration, were left in charger f t h e ar my on the sth of December ; and yet nothing is publicly known of their fate in Franr. Several couriers, however, have passed through Dresden and Frankfort from the Grand Army, but ) strange to tell, not a syllable is suffered to transpire as tto the object of their jourales. In this absence of all intelligence from France, we are left to conjecture, and most assuredly, upon re. (erring to the last Russian dispatches, we are fully warranted in holding out an expectation to our readers, that at "the date of the 29th French Bulletin, the miserable FrenCh army bad not exhausted the measure of its sufferings. The Russian army ) wide: Admiral TTSICHAOOFF, would, in all likelihood, pro .' teed from Minsk in the direction ) not of Wilna, but of Grodno ; where it would fall iti with large maga. zines of stores and provisions, and thus cut off all communication between Wilna and the Duchy of Warsaw. In this case, the only remedy which the French Generals could apply to their desperate circumstances would be to fall back upon Courland, and the Prus sian States, where we have reason to believe Mar shal MACDONA•LD was in sufficient force to afford them protection. This is the Most favourable view we can take of the present posture of affairs with the French troops in the North, on the supposition that the Rus sians ban hot been able, from the severity of the weather, to press, so closely upon their adversaries as to encompass them at Wilna—but the silence of the French Papers augurs forcibly a different result.— The communications of the remaining corps with Poland (if they are not. actually ham di combat) have been cut off,. and they are this moment at the mercy of the Russians. NW eagerly, therefore, do we turn our eyes towards the Baltic for the arrival of another Gottenburgh Mail. It will, no doubt, be the har binger of the filfilment of that awful destruction Whitt! has been decreed against the French invading army. The Paris Papers, amid . a profusion of similar ri. taldry, seek to amuse their Readers with the ifolusn. tary offers made to the Emperor, by softie Dula troops, to share the dangers of the Grand Arley in the North. We could believe that such an offer Might have been extorted at any time; butt when we are gravely told that the perusal of the Twentrnintl Bulletin was the exciting cause of this burst of mili tary enthusiasm, we are at a loss to coneeive of what heterogeneous matetials a modern Dutchman is com posed. Their request was not the result of a delibe ration; but a spontaneous effusion of 44 lore.and devo tion to the Emperor !!"sh-How great Must be his con tempt for the understanding of mankind, when ht hopes to impose Upon them by such nonsense! • A strained attempt is made to convince Europe that Austria is firm in her alliance to Prance; for the Emperor FRANCIS has sent a new diplomatist to Paris, to rivet more strongly his chains. Time will shew how far Austria is to be relied on for as adherence to the Continental System. While the inquirers after the health of the King of NAPLES and the Viceroy are left in doubt and apprcr, pension, it is some consolation for them to know that the King of Roan is in good health, and takes occasionally in his can iage ! His august also well; and, in order to shew himself in inspected some buildings in Paris on the 8d ;tla the America' Government is destined tence some of the effects of the war in which so wantonly, plunged their country.

It seems certain that, from the measures concerted by the Marquis of WELLING-rot; with the Regency and the Cortes at Cadiz, the next campaign will open in about a month with a vigour even- far beyond the last. Ministers are now sending out liberal supplies of money and men, who will be immediatelpern birked. In addition to the Hussar brigade, and the other cavalry and infantry regiments already men tioned- in the STAR, the 14th and 70th Foot, with several other battalions, will be sent out. The Horse Guards and Blues are doing Lisbon duty, greatly to the admiration and amusement of the Portuguese. When our letters left the army, the . 9lst High landers had but just joined. •It will be remembered, that this Regiment sailed at the same time as the Guards, and they and the Guards, we are informed, are the only corps which have joined the army since the glorious 22ti of July.

The accounts from Vienna, respecting the state of affairs in Turkey, which we gave yesterday from the Paris Papers, are interesting at the ptesent crisis.— They shew In a striking point of view, the restless and watchful policy of the French diplomatists, while they exhibit the versatility of the Turkish Divan, and that time-serving disposition which ever accompanies the dotage of Empires. It would appear, that no sooner Were accounts re ceived in Turkey of the facility with Which the French entered Russia and gained possession of Mos cow, than the moment Was seized upon to strengthen the French interest in Turkey. This is lippareht from the consequences. On the 7th of Novembet , Prince DEMETRI MoaAusE, Hospodar of Moldavia, one of the Ottoman Plenipotentiaties, who signed the last treaty of peace at Bucharest, was decapitated by orders transmitted by the Grand Seignior. MANuti Bar, accused of being in the Russian interest, was Also executed at Schulmth Facts like these, require no comment ) and We ,hould only like to know what sensations were pro duced at Constantinople by the snbsequetit accounts of the disasters whieh have befallen the Grind Army. •A few heads would prokably grace the Seraglio, by way of set-off against the previous decapitations.

In consequence of= Advertisement, giving notice eta Meeting of Merchants, Ship-owners, and others, ipterested in confining the India Trade to the Pert of London, being to be held at the, City of London Ta _Tern yesterday, a very numerous and respectable Meeting took place, when the LORD MAYOR ' in com pliance with the request made tb him by a Deputation of the Merchants,. who waited on him for that pur pose, took the Chair. His Lordship said. it would be unnecessary for hitn to state for what purpose the present Meeting hack been convened, since notice had been given of its object in a public advertisement. It was with some difficulty he had prevailed on himself to take the Chair, since he had not been able to read with ' sufficient care and attention, all the documents ne cessary to put him in possession of the subject. Alderman ATKINS assured the meeting, that, in whatever situation he might be placed, they should ever find him a firm supporter of the interests of the East India Company, with which he considered the true interests of the Public to be closely connected. He entreated them, however, not to relax their own indi vidual exertions. Much predice had been created in the minds of his Majesty's Ministers, and also of the ' Public, by misrepresentation, to the disadvantage of the Company's exclusive Trade. Prejudices, founded on most complete misconception, namely, that throw ing open the trade to India would benefit the country at large. Whereas the filet was, that the India Mar ket could ndt take from the hands of our merchants even manufactures equal in amount to the tonnage allowed atpresent td the general traders by the Com pany. The worthy Alderman then entered into a detail, :hewing that even during the last 18 years, in which the allowance to the general trader made by the Company was 54,000 tons, no tbore than 21,000. had been shipped by the merchants, This was a fact which it was material should be made known to the country, since it would expose the fallacy of the argu ment, that an open trade would benefit the whole empire, when even half the tonnage allowed at pre sent was found more than sufficient to answer all the wants of the general merchant. How thee, he would ask, could the throwing open the trade benefit the whole empire ? If, hciwever, it could be proved, that taking the trade from the port of London would be nefit the empire, the citizens of London must submit to the loss, and they would submit as became good subjects ; but till that 'a as proved, he called on every one to support those rights, which they had so long enjoyed, and to which they were entitled. The LORD MAYOR then stated, that a meeting of the Corporation of London should be convened as sopn as possible; that they were alive to the views of the East India Company. The first Resolution proposed by Mr. GORDON, end seconded by Mr. NASH, was agreed to unani mously. The second was proposed and seconded by the same Gentlemen. ROWCROFT proposed an amendment, gi That the removal of the trade would be attended, at no great distance, with the danger of the loss of the In dian Empire." Agreed to. On the reading of the third, Mr. HUME rose to make some observations on the circumstance Li the small quantity of tonnage exported by private adven turers, He said, that the East India Company, aware that politics and commerce should not be mingled together, had stipulated that the vessel of private THE ACASTA FmcarE.—Though we ate sorry , - sofa that we cannot confirm the report of the capture of merchants should be free from all detention, except an American frigate by the ACASTA, we entertain that of weather, and should sail in the fair weather strong hopes of being enabled shortly to do so.
