The Paris Papers of Saturday, Sunday, and Mon day, arrived at a late hour last eight. • The Hanoverian Ambassador, Count de GROTE (end not the British Ambassador), delivered a letter to the KIND of FRANCE from hir Sovereign, an nouncing the birth of the daughter of the Duke of CLARENCE. _ _ The Moniteur contains a Royal Ordinance for the establishment of an Academy of Medicine, to con sist of eighty Members. The Chamber of Peers on Friday did nothing but receive a Petition from the Duke of VALMY to be admitted to the privileges of the Peerage, which was referred to a Committee. The Chamber of Deputies were occupied on Fri day and Saturday with the Reports of the Commit tees respecting the verification of the powers of the newly-elected Deputies, which, chiefly turning on points of form, present little of any general interest. Some discussions arose in the course of this tedious proceeding, which served to develope the existence of a very acrimonious feeling, and of an increased portion of that disposition to tumult which was so often displayed in the last Qbamber. Amongst other things, the Assembly was thrown into extreme agi tation on Saturday, when, after some contest as to the right of M. MANUEL to be heard, it was asked by M. FOY, " Do you wish to stifle the voice of the mi nority, as in 1815 ?" One of the most amusing scenes in the course of the proceedings, was a grave discus sion whether a Deputy (M. DE Sr. Calm), already seated, could be legally elected a Deputy for another Department. It was at length decided, in due form, that the election was invalid. The Chamber, on Saturday, by sitting till six o'clock, an hour unusually late, got through nearly the whole of the Elections. The remainder were postponed till Tuesday, to which day the Chamber adjourned. The entire of these questions must be disposed of, and a President be appointed, before the Chamber could proceed to the preliminary busi ness of addressing the KING. Among the recent Clerical Ordinations in Paris, we find that the Duke de RoRAN-CHABOT, a Peer of France, has been made a Sub• Deacon ; and Count de MALLET; formerly a Colonel, has been ordained a Deacon. Rear-Admiral LtNots has obtained from his MA-. JEillf 400,000 francs, to indemnify him for a like sum seized by us when we took possession of the Isle of France. He has also, as being formerly Gover nor of Guadaloupe, obtained a pension for one of his daughters, out of the Privy Purse. The responsible Editor of the Journal of Commerce' has been condemned by the Tribunal of Correctional Police to one month's imprisonment, and a fine of 400 francs for a breach of the laws respecting the Ccnsorship. If we may give credit to these Papers, they con firm the strange report which was prevalent yester day that the King of NAPLES had quitted hls do minions to meet the Allied Sovereigns. The fol lowing is the account which the Journal des Debars gives of this step on the part of his Neapolitan Majesty The King bieldavuts has embarked oa board the English ship, l tae Vongeur, of 74 guns ; and the people of his suite on board the Fred& fri gate, th e Duchess de Berri. His MAJESTIC I goes to Trieste, and from thence to Laybach. The Prince, Vicar-General, has taken the title of Regent, during the absence of the KING his father." The Madrid news in these Papers is to the 14th inst. but they contain nothing of importance. The conspiracy at Granada is found to have resulted from some local disputes about the colours in cockades.— The trial of General ELK) is said to have terminated; and that he has been sentenced to death. Three millions of reals have been granted for arming the Militia of Biscay, Navarre, and the Asturias. An article from Frankfort mentions, that the De claration of the Congress at Troppau, relative to the affairs of Naples, has already been transmitted to the different Powers. The following ameliorations, among others, have been proposed by the Hanoverian Government, to dimish the imposts laid on by the King of Westpha lia (Jerome Bonaparte); to render the Administration less expensive; to re-establish the University of Helm stedt ; and to introduce a law fophe more effectually punishing fraudulent bankruptcils. The French Five per Cents. left (eon Saturday, at 78f. 60c. A Flanders Mail, with accounts to the 27th, has anited. The following are its chief contents: VIENNA, DECEMBER 13. Among the reports most in credit, is that of a Avirriage having been agreed upon between the lin- - 4 • .1 4 t e :a perial Prince, eldest son of his Majesty dittlilispbror, and the Princess Alexandrine of Prassia, was born in 180$. An extraordinary courier has brought to our Court the reply of his Majesty the King of the Two Sicilies to the overtures which have been made to him. It is affirmed, that this answer is couched in general and evasive terms ; that, nevertheless, another courier bas been immediately dispatched to Naples, and no _ father decision will be made till the receipt of the t . the perk which he has sanctioned ?—lf this be the aim war is resolved on by the Holy Allies, and the possession of the Knto'ss person (like that of the KING of Seam in the hands of N f iros.aoN) is one of the master springs which they use= to employ to keep the new Avar machinery in operation. Europe has but one hope left, and it .is suspended on a slender thread. France and England have not, it is said, fully concurred in the aims and objects of the Continental Powers respetting Naples. So it is said ; but both France and England are, in fact, more deeply embarked than many may be willing to be lieve. They have lent themselves to_the transfer of the KING'S person, by furnishing the ships for his conveyance. Let others view this as they may, we cannot conceal our own conviction that the Ultras in both of these kingdoms augur the downfal of the new Neapolitan Constitution from this measure, and congratulate themselves on the results expected from it. But they will be disappointed. Were the King of NAPLES to issue to-morrow, from Laybach, a ful mination against his subjects as rebels, &c. &c. &c. instead of averting, the measure would only tend to hasten on the desolations of war ; for the Neapolitans, if they have been blinded, will then have the veil removed from their eyes, and will see that they have no choice left but to submit to slavery, or, by victory, to establish Independence and Freedom. But what can the poor Neapolitans do, alone and without Allies, against such mighty Potentates?— This is the kind of question put by those who would persuade themselves that they monopolise all wisdom; but it is dictated by consummate folly. The Neapolitans will not be left without Allies. Spain and Portugal have a direct interest in the question ; but this will constitute but a small portion of the real strength of the Neapo litans. Where did France find Allies when all the Potentates of Europe were leagued against her ? She found them in the weaned affections of the People of the very Allies combined for her over throw 1 How stand these Allies at this moment? are they of one mind with their masters in this isoill enterprise ?—Let time answer this question. The weather has set in with great severity, the thermometer sinking, during the night, as low as 27 of Fahrenheit Last night it blew a very strong gale. Consider able damage was done to a number of houses, parti- , cularly at Poplar, Limehouse, and in several parts of the Borough. The shipping in the River has also sustained much damage from barges breaking from their moorings, floating up with the tide and coming in contact with the different tiers of shipping. Two brats were stove to pieces off Rotherhithe, by being inclosed between some barges. The Loyal Address which the friends of the 'tub's Ministers at Lincoln expected to have sent as the Ad dress of the City at a Public Meeting, now in the character of the Address of those who choose to sign' it, lies at the Guildhall there for signatures: about 150 have signed it during the last five days.— Another Address, which, with the Resolutions, may be seen in the front of this Paper, praying for the dis missal of Ministers, though it did not start till the day after the loyal one, has already received about five times the number of signatures. A most liberal subscription has been entered into 'for the late unfortunate sufferers by the late destruc tive fire at Wyley, near Bath, to which the Rector, the Rev. JOHN DAMPIER (brother to the late Bishop of ELY and the late Judge DASIPIRR) is a principal contributor; and has also remitted the whole of their tithe-rents. Sir GEORGE PICOT, Bart. of Patshull, in Stafford shire, gave, in celebration of the birth of the Princess ELIZABETH of CLARENCE, a fine ox, to be roasted at Burnell-green, on Saturday last, which was after wards distributed among the poor of the surrpund ing neighbourhood, who expressed their most grate- I ful acknowledgments for the kindness-conferred-upon them. At the same time they partook of an hogs head of ale, and drank several .appropriate patriotic toasts with the greatest enthusiasm, displaying every mark of loyalty to their KING, and gratitude to their benefactor. Tuesday, a splendid Ball and a sumptuous Supper were gives at the superb and ancient seat of the SACKVILLE family, called the Palace of Knole, in Kent, to which were invited all the Nobility and Gentry around, including the residents at Wester ham and Tunbridge. The park and the roads were illuminated ; the grand Gothic Hall, that pure spe cimen of the florid Gothic, "was brilliantly lighted up. This apartment is seventy-four feet in length, and in the music gallery, at the upper end, was sta tioned a chosen band of musicians. The grand stair case was appropriately decorated, as also the ball room. In the colonnade the refreshments were laid out; and the supper in the Cartoons gallery. The tables, sideboards, and recesses, groaned under the weight of massive plate, the united collections of several generations, including the services presented to those branches of the family who have filled diplo matic situations as Lord Lienonants in Ireland, and Embassies abroad. The dancing commenced soon after nine o'clock, and continued till a late hour. extract of a letter from Batavia, dated September :—" Although this Government is under the best of men, it is the most unfortunate. The merchants here within the last year have experienced immense losses. Several shipments to Europe, of nearly 16 millions of rupees, have been lost by wrecks, and in these last two months; in two shipments to the Eastern Islands a loss of 160,000 dollars has been [ sustained, by Pirates. The Pirates have now be come so numerous and daring, that even cargo boats going up and down the harbour are very often captured by them ; they seem to pay no distinction to any; one. Our markets are low, though mer chandize is somewhat scarce. Our inancialplans, assure you,are in a deplorable state. The Government of this country hive lost a most able man, M. Van Bream, a Member of the CoUncil, who died a short time ago, od whose' deb will be wadi felt." BRIGHTO2+4 DECEICEII 27. The Weather here, for outdoor exercises, continues remarkably severe,• that is, from the extraordinary sharpnesrof the Northern blast; but it has hitherto been unattended by any fall of rain, hail, snow, or sleet. Our beloved SovEttatoN appears to enjoy i:, and makes these happy about him, by declating, that his health and spirits have continued to improve since the first hour of his arrival here. His MAJESTY, after a brisk promenade on the enclosed Palace grounds, took exercise on horseback in the covered ridino-school for some time before dinner to-day. It is said, that as soon as the Palace can be got in readiness, the Princesses AUGUSTA and &Pula will honour this town with a visit. The MAYOR of CORK arrived at the York Hotel this afternoon. He is the bearer of a Loyal Address from that great and populous city. His MaiEspt* has been graciously pleased to appoint to-morrow morning, at eleven o'clock, to receive him. Owing to the intense coldness of the weather, neither the rides nor walks have had many fashion able visitors on them. answer to these new communications. Meantime everything here looks like war. 'Orders have just been given to organize a new Regiment of Chasseurs, the Battalions of Chasseurs now existing are to remain entire. To compose this new Corpv soldiers are to be taken from the Regiments of the line, which receive the necessary reinforcements to keep up their full compliment. In this state at things, the appearance of hostilities takes a more decisive direction ; already we are given to no. derstand that the late events at Madrid, have) greatly contributed to darken the political horizon. It is asserted that the Austrian Ministry has made great use of them, to strengthen their system, and that they have successfully urged to the Russian Mi nisters the principle, that the Spanish Constitution, in the combination of the powers of the three different branches of the Government, leaves so little influence to the Monarchical element, that the introduction of such a regime into Italy would not be compatible with the interests of the Austrian Monarchy. The late accounts from Spain have excited the more sen sation here, because they have been accompanied with remarkable notes, both in the Austrian Gbseroer and the Court Gazettes. .The ultimatum now sent to Naples, contained a repetition of the invitation to King FaRDINA ND, either to have a personal interview or to send a Plenipo tentiary to treat with the Ministers of the Great Powers on the means of making the basis of the Con stitution of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies harmo nise with the principles of the Monarchical System. The outlines of the Negotiation have likewise been communicated to the Court of Naples, and Laybach still proposed as the place of meeting. In case the Government of Naples refuses to con form to the wishes of the Congress of Troppau, Aus tria, Russia, and Prussia, will openly declare their intention to have recourse to arms, to re-establish in the kingdom of the Two Sicilies an order of things which may guarantee the maintenance of peace and of the stability of the essentially monarchial social institutions of Europe. France and Great Britain have observed an entirely passive policy, with respect to this definitive step. The final answer of the Neapolitan Government is impatiently expected; and as it is anticipated that it will not be satisfactory, preparations are made to carry on the measures for the prosecution or hostili ties. The Austrian army in Upper Italy will be in creased to 100,000 men, and will be considered as the Army of Execution of the Holy Alliance. The aspect of the political horizon becomes every day more dark and perplexing. We consider a war in Europe—a general war—as now inevitable, and its commencement as at no great distance ; and we do so from the very circumstances which make many count upon•a long-continued peace. We stated yesterday our disbelief of the possibility of the Neapolitans being brought to agree, that their Monarch should comply with the mandate of the Con gress at Troppau, to give the Allied Sovereigns a meeting at Laybach. The report, as we then stated, rested on the authority of private letters from Paris ; and it now appears from the French Journals (received last night), that it was current, and fully credited at Paris. The accounts go so far as to mention, "that the King of NAPLES has embarked on board the Eng lish ship the Vengeur, of 74 guns, and his suite on board the French frigate La Duchess de Berri, and are to land at Trieste, whence his MAJESTY will proceed to Laybach, to meet the Allied Sovereigns." Singular—unaccountable—as this fact may appear, we must, for the present, consider it as true; and for this very reason we consider war as being deter mined upon. How, in the name of common sense, can the presence of the Kix° of NAPLES at Laybach —his putting himself in the hands of those who have already prejudged the question, declared in public documents that the Neapolitan Revolution is sub versive of the principles of legitimacy, refused to re- - - ceive the accredited Ambassadors of the Kingdom of Naples, threatened the KING and the Nation with war should he refuse to quit his Kingdom by their man date, and trait on them at Laybach!—how can com pliance, under such circumstances, avert hostilities ? The KING of NAPLES, a man of seventy years of age, in a great measure retired from the business of active life, but little qualified to wriggle, personally, through the quirks, quibbles, and chicanery of dipl matic artifice, quits his kingdom, .at the command of other Potentates, to tell them by mouth what had been over and over offered through his Ambassadors, insulted by these very kgitimates, and refused admis sion to their Courts! and all this, that the miseries of a threatened war. may be avoided I—By the Holy Allies acknowledging the independence of Naples— the right of that Kingdom to make a new Constitu tion for itself ?—No such 'thing. They have already denounced the conduct of the Neapolitans as having put them out of the pale of the domicile of Europe ! —By making the captive Kula consent to. destroy THE ARMY. Lieut.-Colonel S.
