PARIS, OCTOBER 25. The Municipal Council of Avignon says, in its ad dress to the Empress and Queen, as follows: a Who is he among Frenchmen who would not be profoundly moved and disposed to make every sacri fice when your Majesty calls upon them in the name of the Emperor—of the country—and of honour ! The great name of the Emperor produces all the re spect due to the Sovereign, and all the transports of admiration to which he has acquired immortal rights. The country!—lt was Napoleon who restored it to, us by putting an end to all the storms of the Revo lution, and repelling foreigners who threatened our territory. National honour itself owes a new eclat to that powerful genius, who revealed to France the secret of her forces, and raised her to a degree of glory which he knows how to maintain. Madame,' the inhabitants of the town of Avignon, in common' with all Frenchmen, dare assure your Majesty, that' they will shew themselves worthy of the confidence you have placed in them ; they swear to the august companion of Napoleon the Great, to the mother of the King of Rome, that no effort will appal their zeal and their fidelity, when the object is to defend the throne, which your virtues ornament, and towards which we every day raise our homages, our wishes, and our hopes." MILAN, OCTOBER 19. The speech-delivered in the Senate of the Empire, by the Enipreos Queen and Regent, is well worthy of being considered by all Italians : her Majesty, among others, repeated these memorable words :—" I know better than any one what our people will have to, dread if they ever-suffer themselves to be conquered." ig Italians ! it is to us, to us principally, that it be- 1 longs to reflect upon these words ; which evidently came from the Empress's heart. She passed her first youth in the midst of the very individuals who have just now engaged her father to make war on us. She said, that she knew better than any one the sentiments with 'which they are animated, and the fate they would male us I suffer if they succeeded in cm:qua-in: us. 46 Italians ! if the sentiments with which Our ene mies ale animated ought to excite the courage and resistance of Frenchmen, how much more ought they to inflame our patriotism and our valour ? French men have, never been subjects of our enemies. The latter have nothing to reproach the French with, but that of being stronger and better commanded than themselves. But we—we who have changed Sove reigns, and who are attached to our King by so many ties of gratitude and love —we, who have placed our • glory and ambition in serving him, let us-form, if it is possible, an idea of the resentment and pi ivate ven geance of which we will quickly be the object and the victims. " There is no doubt but that the efforts of our enemies will turn to their shame, and will fall before • the genius and power of the Emperor. The days of Lutzen and Dresden otyht to convince them of the absurdity of their hopes, and prove to , them, that the Empei or is now more strong and more great than over. " Suppose that the enemy should for a moment penar.,te to us, he would not, at first, fail to hold forth - to us a paternal language, and promise us to forget the past. But who among us would be the dupe of his artful promises? We know him. We have Lot yet forgotten the day of the 13th Messidor, which pit ceded the intim' ta day of Marengo. Can we believe that the Empetor woald ever pardon the functitnaTies, of all classes—the Generals; the Offi cers, the Soldiers, who have so often conquered'him Would he pardon• the Lomhardians their first en. thusiasm, and the fidelity of which they have given. so many proofs ? Would he pardon the Batonais, the Brisceans—the sentiments of admiration and devotion with which they have been constantly- ani. mated towards the Emperor ? Would he pardon the Venetians' the profound grief which the treaty of Campo Formio .caused them, and the joy they exl , ibited on healicg of the treaty of Presburg —Wo.4ld he pardon Vie Miiain , ci the servic e s of ail kinds which they have rendered the Sovereign in the • administrations and-in the armies ? 'Would he pardon the Tyroleans the sentiments of fidelity which' they have evinced since the late treaty of Vienna ? %Arid he pardon the Pre:es:ors of our Universities, of our Lyceums, the Viegepts, the examples of patriotism arhith th, y have .even to our youth? " Ah ! ask it— ask it of her Majesty the Empress I she will deign to inform you, that those strangely deceive themselves, who think they can obtain peace by weabeere, and the forgetting of tleir fret duties. " Italians! We all know our duties, and we cannot too frequently repeat, that onr most pressing interest commands us to fulfil them." . 1.. ' THE EVENING STAR. LONDON. TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1813.

The Arabella packet, Captain PORTEOCS, arrived at Cork on Wednesday the 28th ult. with mails and dispatches from Passage, having been obliged to put into Cork in consequence of contrary winds, which did not permit her to make Falmouth. Captain CLE' 'VENTS ) who was the baater of Lord WELLINGTON'S dispatches, set off immediately for London, where he arrived on Sunday. We gave the substance of the dispatches yesterday. The Arabella sailed on the 22d. Private letters state, that it was understood in the army, that the noble Marquis would not advance to any considerable distance into France. The troops had suffered from the inclemency of the weather, but. the army was now well hutted, and wanted nothing. The French garrison of Santona was strong. Some letters from SOL'LT to the Commander had been in , tercepted by the British posts. • The EMPEROR (says one of the letters) expected that the Commander would equally immortalize himself with General REY, so distinguished for his defence of St. Sebastian.-s. The Marshal then desires him to husband his re sources—says the winter is coming on—that the Eng lish could not long remain before the town—and that relief would soon be afforded him. Marshal SOULT was fortifying his position in frOnt of the British lines. The pacEet has brought about fifty Officers pas sengers, mostly wounded. Among them is Colonel FENWICK, who lost his right leg, and Colonel A. and Colonel GUY CAMPBELL. The following are extracts from the Spanish Pa pers, brought by the above packet : " PASSAGE, OCTOBER .18. " Nothing of consequence has occurred since the 7th, when the enemy was !riven from his posi tions. He is now entrenching himself on the ridge behind La Rhnne, Si. Jean de Luz, &c. for the pur. pose of retarding our advance. Soult is said to be actively employed in the erec ting *of most formidable entrenchments, which he personally superintends. Pamplona still holds out, but it is suiiposed that the utmost period of its resis. tance cannot extend beyond the latter end of this month. On the 17th Head-quarters were at Vera." FROM THE SUPPLEMENT TO THE MADRID GA 'LB rl E, OF OCTOBER 12. 46 The Regency of the Kingdom has been pleased to issue following Decree : Don Ferdinand, by the Grace of GOD, &c. &c. and in his captivity and absence, the Regency of the Kingdom, appointed by the General and Extraordi nary Cortes, to all those by whom these presents shall be seen or heard, make known ; that the Cortes have decreed the following : 6 The Cortes have decreed, that the Congress and Government shall immediately leave Cadiz, proceed. ing to the Isla of Leon, and that they shall be re moved ace Madrid as soon as they shall be informed that every thing is prepared in that city to enable them to begin their Sessions, unless the political cir cumstances of Spain, and of Europe should greatly change. The Regency of the Kingdom shall make this known for its fulfilment, and shall cause it to be printed, published, and circulated. Givtn at Cadiz, the 4th October, 1813. (Signed) ' F. R. DC LtiIIISMA, President. • R. FELtru, Deputy Secretary. 4 To the Regency of the Kingdom:- " We, therefore, command all Tribunals, Justices, Chiefs, Gcvcrnors, and other Authorities, Civil as well as Military, and Ecclesiastical, of whatever class and dignity, that they guard and cause to be guarded, fulfil and execute the present Decree in all its parts. " L. DE BORBON ' Cardinal DE SCALA, • Archbishop of Toledo, President. " Cadiz, October 4." We continue our extracts from the Paris Papers, which we noticed yesterday, but they relate entirely to the domestic occurrences of France. Nothing almost from the seat of war is suffer to transpire.— Addresscs conti:me to pour in with assurances of the loyalty of the French nation, and their determination to support the glory of the Emperor. Private accounts from the Coast sufte, that BONA • PA lIT r had occupied the time between the 10th . and, 14th at Duben, in concentrating his forces. He then commenced his retreat towards the Rhine, and had reached Weissenfels, a distance of 70 miles, on the 19th, having fought a sanguinary action every day. At Wei,senfels he is undeistood to have remained only 24 hours, and having suffered a dreadful loss in artillery from, the rapidity of his movement•, he was compelled to continue his retreat upon Erfurt. Here he would, in all probability, be stopped again by the Bavarian army, or at least by the light troops in ad vance, for in this direction they moved immediately after the signature of the Treaty with Austria. The private advices to which we have just alluded' are filled with lamentations on the distressed state of pub lic credit in France, and her dependencies. No less than. twelve houses of the first respectability have lately stopped payment in Holland: Among these are chi Bankers Cultic, VAN Mwior, TErTERODE, CHAUSJI I and Da Roy. -:' JAMAICA PAPERS. JaMaica Papers to the 20th Septeniber arrived this morning; the following are extracts t " JAMAICA, AUGUST at. At length we have received accounts of the United States frigate Essex, Captain PORTER, which has been so long considered missing. She anchored' at Lima on the sth of April, having in charge two Southseamen, her prizes, and shortly after proceeded on a cruize off Gallapagos Islands. On the 28th of April sloe captured the British ships Georgiana.Pirrs; Policy, BOWMAN ; and the Montezamer t BAXTER, on the 28th of May ; she also made prize of the ships Atlantic, WYBR ; 'and Greenwich, SHUTTLZWORTR. " Shortly after, Captain Porter had the Georgiana fitted out as a vessel of war, with 16 guns, and gave the command of her to his First Lieutenant, Downs, when she also captured the following ships :—the Rose, Munro; Hector, Richards ; and Catherine, Tolger ; which vessels were all taken to Tambres, when Captain Porter sent a letter to the Spanish Go vernor of Yakile, to know if he would sanction the prizes being disposed of there, which he refused. 4 , The crews of the Hector, Rose, and the Cathe rine, were put on board the Rose, and ordered as a cartel for England, but as the vessel was unable to perform the voyage, they intended to proceed to'Lima. The crews of the other vessels were landed on the coast of Chili. the Essex also fell in with a Spanish sloop of war, having with her an American South Seaman, detained for smuggling, which she liberated, and threw the Spanish vessel's guns overboard. " We hear that, as soon as Captain Porter makes prize of any British vessel, he seduces the seamen from their allegiance, by intoxicating them with spi rits, and hoisting a white flag, written on it, ' Sea men's Liberty, and Independence';' many of whom, we lament to say, had entered the American service. " We are also informed that the Chilians at Val davi, Conception, Valperaes, and ,Kokinba, have de clared themselves independent, and have opened their ports to all nations ; and that the Essex frigate re ceives supplies from them, and an American Agent has been appointed to reside at St. laga, an inland town at one of those places." . EXTRAODINARY GAZETTE OF CARTHAGENA, FRIDAY, SLPT. 6. " IMPOILTANT NEWS. 6 , The Government has just received, by an extra ordinary courier, the following information relating to the momentous events— " VALENCIA FREE, AND FLIGHT OF MONTIVEEDE. Yequierdo, who, at the head of 1500 men, was entrusted with the defence of San Carlos, evacuated it as soon as he saw our troops : being closely pur sued by our General, he was completely routed at Tiraquells, leaving many of his men dead, wounded , and prisoners. The remainder of Monteverde's forces disappeared, on being attacked by our cavalry ; and Bolivar took possession of Valencia on the 2d inst. intending to proceed on, and enter Caraccas on the 4th or sth.—Monteverde flew for Porto Cabello ; but he is likely not to go further, because a brisk can nonade was heard for two days back there, by which it is inferred that another action has taken place with the Patriots.—All the Europeans lately arrived at Venezuela have been put to the sword by the Union Army. 6 VILLAVICENIO.P 46 Another ,dispatch from General B3livar, under date of Valencia, August 2, states his having entered that city the preceding night without the least oppo sition, having been, abandoned by the enemy. He found there an immense park of artillery, with a great quantity of ammunition, guns, and muskets." The Argo, 41 guns, was to sail from Jamaica for Bermuda, and take charge of a small convoy to that Island, the day after the Packet (21st Septem ber) several vessels were bound to England. The last accounts from Hamburgh, received via Heligoland, state, that the French had recently evinced a determination to hold the former place to the last extremity. Six hundred head of oxen had been recently slaughtered, and the meat salted for the use of the troops during the winter, by order of DAVOCST. BREAD.—This day the LORD MAYOR, having spected the Mealweigher's returns, ordered the price of Bread to fall Three.pence, or an assize and a half, the Peck Loaf.—The Quartern Loaf will be Is. 2d. on Thursday next.

She lelt to twenty widows of that parish 40s. per annum, for evert 20s. for a sermon ; 20s. to the Officers of the Parish, for a treat, and one of the diShes at the entertainment, in memory of her, is al ways an oatmeal pudding ; and 2s. 6d, to the Clerk and Sexton.

MELANCHOLY ACClDENT.—Saturday evening, the Rose in June lugger sailed fr'm Dover harbour, with a crew consisting of eight persons, viz. Captain HAY WARD, and Messrs. SMITH, SAMUELSON, GILMAN, HOILE, TENNY, GRIGGS, and SitamoNns, for the pur pose of procuring. herrings, hut in the dreadful storm which came on, there is too much reason to fear the whole of these unfortunate men perished ? the nets and boat having been found on the . Break bottom upwards. What adds to the calamity, six out of the eight of these poor fellows have left wives to bewail their untimely end,. N4V4IL INTELLIGENCE. FALMOUTH, OCTOBER If.
