EXTRACT OF A LETTER PROM A GENTLEMAN, DATED PASSY, NEAR PARIS, DECEMBER 8. 64 Some disturbance is dreaded here. Troops of soldiers are placed in every village round Paris. About twenty-one cavalry came to this house to-day to live, and every Bourgeois in Passy is obliged to keep a proportionate number. About twenty Con scripts were imprisoned at Versailles yesterday for crying " Vive l'Emorreur!" and such like. The Place Vendome and Rue de la Paix were quite full of men today crying the same things." PARIS, NOVEMBER 9. gg The day that the King was to go to the Odeon the alarm of Government was greater than is ima gined. The garrison of Paris was reinforCed with three regiments, which were ordered into the city from the environs. Three Marshals, and especially Marshal Marmont, strongly urged the King not to attend the spectacle. All the agents of the police were abroad to watch over the public safety. But the King braved every report and every alarm. He went to the spectacle, and nothing occurred. 66 There were the same alarms last Sunday. They produced no more results than the preceding ones. We are lest in conjectures upon all these circumstances. " A regiment of light infantry, which was at St. Denys,. having received orders to set off for another destination, began to exclaim, 44 Visre Bonaparte ;" and it was with much difficulty that they were re duced to order. . 4 , The conscripts which are ordered back to their colours, display the greatest discontent. They say that the conscription being abolished, they can no longer be compelled to serve ; they are treated with the greatestcantion and management, in order not to augment the number of malcontents, which is already too large. " - Every body scam that the political Note which appeared within these few days in the Moniteur, was written by the sing himself. " The affair of Lord Oxford has not been the only one of that description. A Frenchman, the physi ciao of Mural, has, been arrested at Fontainebleau. He was going to Naples, and was the bearer of many letters for his master. It appears that nothing very important, was discovered in those letters, as he was set atliberty some days after. " If we may believe persons who arrive from Milan, the two great personages whom the Gazettes de scribed lately as having been upon the point of fight ing at Vienna, were Prince Constantine and Eugene Beauharnois. They were dining together, accord ing to the account, at the table of a great Lord, where they were discoursing of the events of the last campaign. Prince Constantine spoke with great warmth against Bonaparte, whose military ta e 7 t ts even he greatly depreciated. Beauharnois was indignant at this, and addressing himself to the Prince, said, that he should not, in his presence, speak with contempt of his adopted father, and the less so, because be (Prince Constantine) would never be able to conceive even a single plan of so many mili tary operations as Napoleon had executed. Beanhar. "Lois concluded with saying, thatbe was always ready to answer with his sword whatever he said. Prince Constantine accepted the challenge, and next day they met at an appointed rendezvous to fight. But shaded did not take place in consequence of the in impossition of tome General& who were present. -The samepersoesfrom Milan say, likewise, that the second of Beanharnoix wavPrinee Charles.

Zi7; This inorbing we received, a supply of Brussels and Frankfort Papers : the following, which relates 7 io ileConziess at Vienna, is the only article of in ., • • bra o t they contain : , - FRANKFORT, NOVEMBER 5. .0 UaboMmon activity prevails in the conferences and'in the boreanx : tie greater this activity, the snore profound is the secrecy with which all is ma naged. The best founded Opinion, but which grafi ' four country as little as that hitherto rntertained. is; that at this moment most highly important, and as some say, new subjects are in debate, or unex-' peoted weighty differences of opinion upon certain points must have arisen ; for there is really, in the external forms of the negotiations, and in the ma n ner with which it is endeavoured to keep everything secret, a higher dey,ree of earnestness than before., But this is nearly all we can say here s the reports that Russia has, within a few days, given in a strong declaration, which is as good as a definitive resolu tion or ultimatum—that a certain Ambassador bas desired his passports—and that the business of the Congress had therefore assumed a character less pro mising for a favourable result—are fables. The mo ment is in every case pregnant with events, the pro gress of the negotiations more earnest, the grand en i.=xtainments more rare, which at the commencement followed close upon each other; but nothing more fol. 7ows frcm this, than that the objects of deliberation are treated with the mature attention that their importance demands, and that i diffictilt points are not to be settled Without pains. It is therefore not to be wondered at, those days on which important cOmmunica teas bad beets promised, passed over without distinc • - 6 014. , i esis affais id such immense importance, ..which besides Wu* every day another form, one property say before-band when they will be r ;Mr". • " The maturing and perfecting of what depends on so many thousand circumstances, and is in itself • • so highly . important hn Aated, admits ao limi- cation in time. What in the beginning was very clear, may become troubled by much stirring; and perhaps this is one of the justest points of view in which the state of things here may be contemplated. At the Congress of Vienna a new (and HEAVEN grant a golden) age is to be created and begun. All kingdoms, all ranks, all religions, all men are to be satisfied, and to reap for ages fruits upon the soil which has been manured by their blood, consecrated and entitled by their valour to become a paradise. " The question is to give permanent forms to a quarter of the globe, to establish a Law of Nations,' which shall give equal rights to all ; shall maintain Sovereigns in Union among each other, and Nations in prosperity and repose. The problem is too vast and too difficult of solution, and requires more than a few weeks to be brought to maturity. All that in 'such a span of time could be done for the system of a world has been done, and he is unjust who demands more than possibility. The principal Monarchs are as Brothers—let this suffice for every expectation. They do not become estranged for a Province, and if their Counsellors and Ministers are sometimes of different opinions, still their own unanimity and sin cerity are pledges that these 'opinions will be re conciled. 44 That no results have yet appeared concerning Poland, Saxony and Italy - , is most certainly net to be imputed to the chief Powers. They were already agreed on these points at Chaumont, at Paris, and at London. Only the interference of a Power, whom they chose should be great, strong, and powerful, obstructs the decision and the publication of it. This Power has formed a party of all the discontented, but the four greatest Powers ( Russia, England, Austria, and Pr ussia) are most indubitably agreed." Another day's Paris Papers have reached us since yesterday. All the accounts from Vienna now agree in stating, that the Allied Sovereigns are about to take their departure, the great matters on which they were assembled being now nearly brought to a close. On the subject, however, of the final arrangements which have been determined on, we have but scanty information. King FERDINAND, of Spain, has pub lished a Manifesto, in which he endeavours to justify his late severities. It will be seen from the continuation of our ex tracts from the American Papers (which we received yesterday exclusively) that there is rottenness not only in the Councils at Washington, but in the hearts of their Naval and Military Commanders. General Bitows, (who, by the way, seems to be one of their most sober and skilful Captains,) quaintly informs Commodore eIIetUNCNY that he has too long considered the fleet under his command as his personal proptrty, and impeaches him for misconduct to " the nation." will, doubtless, in his turn, appeal to y the same respectable tribunal, and while these logger. heads are thus at war with each other, General Daum- MOND has been daily getting reinforcements and sup plies from Sir him YEO : nay, so completely have the tables been turned on the •• gallant little army" of the Great nation, that Bitowri confesses that his retreat from Fort Erie has become hazardous in the extreme: so much for the truth of the report of Ge neral DRUMMOND'S army having been cut off General BROWN concludes with threatening an at. tack on Kingston.—Of the probability of his success we have now ample means of judging. The strength of Kingston would at all times •• laugh a siege to 'scorn," independently of our decided superiority on the Lake Ontario, and the ample supplies and rein forcements which it is now in the power of the British Commander to furnish. 'The National Intelfigencer, that organ of bad faith and bad morals, takes great pains to prove the great integrity of MADISON'S wretched faction, in punctually paying off the national debt, contracted by his jideral predecessors in office ! With what grace could, an English writer praise any administration for paying off the interest of the National debt, contracted by their predecessors, who were of opposite political prin ciples ? Who, but a man of depraved morals, would , take credit to himself for the performance of a simple act of justice and common honesty ? and yet this is the pledge which MADISON'S writers hold out to the bidders for his new Loans ! .The following are some further interesting extracts: NEW-YORK, NOVEMBER 9. By the Sally, which has arrived from China, we have received the following information : The Captain saw only one vessel of war on his pas. sage, and spoke no vessels. Passenger in the Sally' Captain Rogers, of the ship Hunter, of Boston. The Hunter sailed from Canton on the 18th of March last, with a full cargo of teas, bound to Bos. ton. belonging to Messrs. Dors, of Boston, and was captured, 24 hours out, by the Doris frigate. The Brutus and Tansahamaha. of Boston, and several other armed vessels, were at Canton, hauled up. The catharine, of Boston, has been condemned as unseaworthy. The Sally sailed June 11th from Canton. When the Sally sailed from Canton, the ship Jacob Jones of Boston, and the schoOners Spirez and Rus sell, had arrived at that place. The ship Pennsylvania, packet, and schooner Cin. tra, from New York, had been chaced off, and bad not since been heard from. The ship Lark, of New York, had been upset, the crew being saved. The ship Athualpa had been condemned as unseaworthy . ) at the Sandwich Islands, and sold, and Captain Su tre had arrived at Canton. The brig PedLsr and ship Catherine, of Boston, had been sold—the former at the North-West, and the latter at Canton. DEAD CREEK, UPPER CANADA, ocro BER 19. The army under command of Major. Gen. Izard s advanced as far as Chippawa Plains on the 14th inst. having to replace the bridges which the enemy de stroyed, and driving in his out-posts, after some sharp skirmishing with our light corps is the afternoon of that day. On the 15th, the enemy appeared in force at the village of Chippawa, but shew no disposition to give as battle. The bridge had also been destroyed, and no means were then possessed •f reaching him but by our artil lery, which was brought up and ably directed by Captains Towson and Archen, disabling his batteries and almost silencing his field artillery, before night, when we returned to the encampment. On the 15th, we again shewed him our front, in order of battle, and although reinforced he could not be drawn into the contest. On the 17th, the army changed position, and mired seven miles up the Niagara. General Bissall was detached with his brigade on the morning of the 18th, to watch the effect of this movement, while the main body continued on its ground, in the hope of drawing the enemy from his position. The brigade of General Bissall had, by a circuitous route through the woods, gained the vici nity of a draw-bridge, about three miles above the mouth of Chippawa River, and allowing but a part of his force to be discovered. At day-break the enemy threw over a strong co• lumn to destroy what he conceived a reconnoitring party, and was instantly received by the brigade, and though far superior in numbers, tie was beaten with great slaughter, driven over his bridge, and pursued so closely, as to have no time for its removal the battery which defended the passage was gallantly carried, giving time only to discharge two rounds before it was occupied by our troops. The enemy was reinforced, but obliged to give ground, and retired with a loss estimated at nearly 200 in killed, wounded, and prisoners—ours is stated at 14 killed and 54 wounded. The main body will march immediately, and reinforcements are already gone to support him, but the enemy has probably re treated beyond a prospect of successful pursuit. The action lasted three quarters of an hour, and was prin cipally fought beyond the River. LATEST FROM THE UNITED STATES SLOOP PEACOCK By the private armed brig Grampus, lately arrived at New York, from a cruise, we learn that the United States sloop of war Peacock put into Puerto de Naas, in the Island of Lanzarote, on the 2d Septem ber, for water, but not getting any, she landed twelve prisoners, and sailed the same day for Puerto Ven tura. The prisoners informed, that during a cruise the Peacock had sunk two British sloops of war. The Duke of WsurN. Gxotr gave a grand Ball on , Saturday last to the Paris fashionables. Since the army of RuNGErr SING bas been with drawn from the north-west frontier of the Punjab, it appears by the Ukbars that the forces of MANHOOD SHAH and FLITTER KHAN, had begun to spew them selves in considerable strength upon the Attock, and were seriously meditating the invasion of Mooltan. The people of that country, we are told, were flying in all directions; and MOEUFFER KHAN, the Nawaub of Moolan, had thrown himseif on KUNGEET SING for protection, and solicited the aid of a Seik army. When last heard of, FUTTER KHAN was preparing to cross the Attcck : on his march he had encoun tered some resistance from the Nawaub of MUN EMMA, who attempted to oppose the passage of th Dowaunee troops through his territory, but was dis comfited, and obliged to take refuge in his principal fortress. This man had subsequently made terms for himself with Form Kuala, and agreed to sup-' ply him with a body of troops, 20 guns, and a sum of money, as the price of exemption from further annoyance. FUTTEII SING, a powerful Seik Chieftain, and lately one of RUNGEET'S principal adherents, appears to'be in disgrace ; and welearn from the Ukbars, that his. son, BHUDDA SING, had been thrown into confinement by the Rajah. RUNGEET SING, .we are told, at the suggestion of some of his Courtiers, had sent a sum of 15,000 ru pees tO.SHAR SOOGAH, at Moolk, by way of compen sation for the jewels of which he had plundered him. The Ukbars mention, that SCINDEA had recently set out in person from his camp, for the purpose of conducting the Bala Bhae from Gwaleer ; and that SHUMSHEER KHAN and DULLZEL - KHAN, two Chiefs in AMEERA KHAN'S service, are stated to have beiaed the person of the Rajah of Odeypoor, whom they carried off to their camp, and_ detained there in durance. The American privateer Ityder ttlly has been cap tured on the East India station. We understand, that she had been previously chased for 60 hours by two British ships of war, from whom she escaped; but she was afterwards fallen in with by the Oven Glendower frigate, and captured, and carried into Pulo Penang. She is said to carry 20 guns, with a large crew. The capture of a large American privateer has been known some time ; but her name has not yet been stated. EXECUTION OF THE Malwi—This morning Pawl, Sootoe, and Caden, were taken from New gate at nine o'clock in a cart, in which they were accompanied by two of their countrymen, the execu- ' tioner, and his assistant—there was also the usual at tendance on such occasions, and were followed by a large concourse of persons. A little after ten o'clock, they arrived at Execution Dock, where shortly after wards they underwent the sentence of the law, and their bodies, after being suspended the usual time, were then taken down and delivered over to the at tendants from the several public hospitals for dissec tion. • tlia - litter.

THE LATE GALL PITMOUTIT, DECEMBER 13.—During the whole of last night and this morning it blew a tremendous gale from the S. S. W. and S. W. which occasioned the outward-bound fleets in 'this harbour to ride very hard. About four this morning the brig Providentia, of London, CRAIG master, with a valuable cargo for Cadiz, parted her cable in the mouth of Catw..ter, and went on shore at Teal's Hill, on the rocks near Queen Anne's Battery, where she now lies with little prospect of being got off—her rudder and sternp3st are gone, and it is expected from her position that she is bilged, with rocks through the bottom.. The weather having moderated about ten o'clock, and upon the whole, favourable during the day, by great - exertion, about one o'clock, half the cargo was landed, some part of it with little or no damage. Should the weather continue moderate there is every prospect the whole cargo will be saved. The brig Wilding, Gut. sow, from London, cut her cable ang ran into C tt• water. The brig Georgina, GROTHERGUZST, parted in the Sound, - and got on board another vessel, by which she lost her foretopmast and bowsprit, and afterwards got into the Pool without further damage. A vessel, name unknown, was wrecked near the Newstone, about five miles to the Eastward ; crew t supposed to be lost, except three men, who are dis covered on that island, but no boat has yet been able to go off to them : she is supposed to be from St. Michael's, from the great quantity of fruit floating about. The vessel is entirely to pieces. A galliot. under Swedish colours, is in Whitsaad Bay with sq - nal of distress and dismasted, said to be laden wi h sugar and cotton, from Liverpool for Stralsund— Pilots have been sent off to her, and it is hoped she will be brought in.—The weather is more moderate, and the wind veered more to the westsitard. FALMOUTH, DECEMBER 12. Arrived his Majesty's ship BASILISK * Lieutenant PIK; from Plymouth, bound to Bristol. Wind SW. The whole of the outward-bound West India fleet under convoy of his Majesty's ships SWIFTSURS and Aa*xas, are safe. They are accounted for as fol lows :—At Falmouth, names sent up 189 ; at ditu,, names not known, 7 ; at Portsmouth, 1; at Ply mouth, as per letter received at Falmouth from Ad miral MARTIN, 25. The exact number that received instructions, 229. PORTSMOUTH, DECEMBER 14. Arriied the ARGO frigate and ARACHNE sloop of war, from Jamaica, sailed about seven weeks since with 27 vessels under convoy, and parted from them in gales which had continued during the whole pas sage. Came in the GstowLEn gan-brig, from a cruize.—Wind W. DEAL, DECEMBER 14. Arrived the William and Mary, from Hull for Cadiz.—Remain in the Downs his Majesty's ships Bombay, Penelope, Acteon, and Mercurius, and se veral sail of outward-bound ; several sail arrived from the River since yesterday.—Wind S. W. CORK, Put back yesterday the Star transport No. 567, with troops on board for Bermuda, parted from the fleet on the 6th instant, at night. Sailed yesterday his Majesty's ships Tiva, BONNB CITOYENNE, and Cairmatax, oa a craze ; and the Twist and Pao. Tama, with a convoy, for England. Arrived today the Grand Lord, —, from Lisbon in 12 days, was boarded last night, off Kinsale, by an American pri vateer, but two of his Majesty's ships appearing, the privateer suffered her to depart. Yesterday a Court of Directors was held at the East India House, when Captain J. B. CRAIII3 was sworn into the command of the ship Lord Mxt.vitur, consigned to Madras and Bengal. LYNI..-.• Friday evening, about 7 o'clock, this city was thrown into alarm bythe sudden appearance of the Brunswick Hussars, fully accoutred, marching into our Market-place from the Horse Barracks, under a supposition, from orders they had received, that there was a riot in the city, but on inquiry it appeared that an express had arrived from the Mayer of Lynn, re questing the assistance of a detachment of Dragoons, as a disturbance had broken out amongst the sailors in the merchants' service at that place ; after this ex planation the military were marched off in that direc tion. It is reported here that the merchants signified on Thursday their intention of reducing the wages of the seamen from sgs to a+ the voyage, and on the refusal of some of them to comply with those terms, and using strong language, two were committed to the gaol. On Friday morning several hundreds as sembled, and proceeded to the gaol, and after assault ing the Mayor and constables, forced the door with the boom of a vessel, and released the prisoners. They also stopped all vessels from proceeding to sea, and obliged the crews to leave the ships.—(Norwi c h Paper.) Sunday last twotroops of the sth Dragoons marched from Ipswich, on their route through Stow-market and Thetford, for Lynn. And on Monday last about 50 of the Bedford Militia passed through here in waggons, on their route from Colchester to the sam e place, for the purpose of suppressing the riot among the sailors there, but which has happily su b s id e d without bloodshed.—.
