Igs. pr. Ornnium ij dis.—Eichequer Bills par, 4s. pre. We have. received Flanders Papers to the 10th September. They state, that the suspension of the nagnciations at Ghent is attributed to the demand re:. de by Great Britain - of a new lk-undary for Caz,tda. The report that the King of SAXONY has abdicated his Throne, and that anew Co»st4ntion will be given to that Kingdom, is revived. Seventy-two French Officers of rank have sailed for America to offs their services to the American Preident. We have received P.tris Papers of three days in succession, namely, of the Bth, 9th, and 10th instant. They teem with intelligence of interest. An ar purporting to be from Frankfort, but evidently of Paris manilfacture, gives the most gloomy presages respe: tin the issue of the Congress at Vienna. The just preponderance Vila Great Britain has acquired , _ • is the cause of much jealousy and envy. Another ar. • tide from Vienna, hints, that our possessions in the East, may, sooner or later, be attacked by an alli an:e of all the Mahometan Princes. Venice and the Tyrol have been formally taten possession or by Aus tria, and the King of Sicily has resumed all his func tions as Sovereign of that Island. The Precursors of th; Allied, Sovereigns and their Ministers, begin to arrive at Vienna. Sir IsAA.c HIARD and Sir Tuos. Tynwpirt have arrived there for the purpose, we believe, of investing the Emperor of AusTßt♦ with the Order of the Bath, and not, as supposed by the foreign Journalists, as diplomatists. The intelligence from France itself is pot quite so , Ipteresting. We are sorry to announce the death of BaronlM4Lourr, the Vrench Minister for the Marine and Colonies. He was an upright Statesman and a good man, He was a Member of the Constituent Assembly, and warmly opposed the Regicide and Jacobin parties in that heterogeneous meeting. He emir rte•! At the Revolution to this country, where was long and much esteemed. He afterwards re , turned to France, And was summoned to the Council of State by BONAPARTZ, who soon found him ton in trac:able ..nd too candc. .or his per)osts, and exiled him to Touts; nni from this place he was recalled to ?iris b) the 130URBONS. Sonie incendiaries recently, of the Bowie Ante school, wilfully set fire to a triunyhal .Irch erected in honour of the Bocano:;s, Nistnes, which, together . with s Zse huusei, was consumed. In the Chamber of Deputies, the proceedings, ct It* have related merely to matters of internal asd Minor legulations. We find a M. Levessuy, a blind Member, claimin g ; tie indulgence of speaking ex-tem pore ! This sounds oddly in the ears of a person ac eustomed to witness the sittings of a British Parlia ment. AM. FEYDEL, anions Royally!, we presume,) made a motion that i.o Petition should be received unless it was indorsed by the Mayor or Prefect of the place from which it came. This was rcg4rded as an attempt at erecting a Censorship over the right to petitio% aad was unanimously rejected. VIENNA, AUGUST Cr. Deputation of the States of Venice having waited upon his Majesty, to express their joy at being • united to Austria, his Majesty was pleased to make them a most gracious aniwer : 46 Your Provinces," he observed, 44 will always be among the fairest *owers in my crown ; they shall recover their an cient prosperity : commerce, in resuming its rights, shall be re-established in its ancient channels; the industry of a good people shall be encouraged and sustained by mild and protecting laws : Venice shall resume its rank among the first Cities of the . world." The Tyrolese have been receive in a similar manner. _ _ Some Armenian merchants from Constantinople, who trade with Persia, say, that the league of the Eurvean Powers and the fortunate result of the war has. produced a great sensation in all the 4siatic Courts. Immediately several Mahometan Princes proposed to adjourn tle.:r disputes, ansl to act in con cert if a certain G-eat European Power shall seek to aggrandize itself at tiiP;r . expense : the instant a Mus ! aolman Prince is attacked, all the rest will fly to arms. STOCKHOLM, AUGUST 12. The following is an extract from the Report of . Captain Bundquist, who was entrusted to deliver the Inc , 2nts from the Swedish Government to the Deys of Algiers and Tunis, dated Malaga, July 7, 1814: On my arrival in those seas, I was informed that three Swedish vessels had been captured and carried into Algiers, and would be speedily sold. I shall leave at Cagliari the vessel which conveys the present to the 41gerine Government, and demand !sick the clips which have been captured, promising to send she pa:soots the instant they are released.'! PALERMO, AUGUST s. 71 King has resumed the lull exercise pf the Royal authority, amidst the greatest demonstintions wf joy. His Majesty has annulled the fenctions of . Vicsc-General, which were given to his son: The Duke de Bucehesi Fanli has been appointed Ninister • for Pateign Affairs instead of the Prince Villa ranee. 'mere stare been illuminations nd fest#o4 for xrc- ral clays, and the King has received addresses from all the constituted Authorites. BAYONNE, AUGUST 31. Letters from Madrid announce that Bing Charles V. will abdicate a second time in favour of his son, Ferdinand VII. and will afterwards retire to the Royal Castle of Arena. The Infant Don Francisco, recently promoted to the dignity of a Cardinal, and the P, ince of the Peace, are on their return to Rome. The peace between France and Spain has been pro claimed. The limits of the two kingdoms are the same as in 1792. This was the pretext for destroying the bridge over the Bidassoa, at Irun. Thus it is consi dered more convenient to pass the river in boats, at the risk of being drouned. FRONTIERS OF AUSTRIA, AUGUST 20. All the intelligence whica we receive from Italy agree in stating, that the people's minds are in a state of great fermentation. The general discons‘ts would Lave taken a serious turn at Milan but for the pre- sence of 20,000 troops. The Italians sigh for inde• pendence—they have been oppressed by Bonaparte, but they think that it is very hard to deprive them of some useful institutions, merely because tiler were indebted for them to the French. AUGSBURG, SEPTEMBER 2, We learn the following circumstances respecting the kind of life which Bonaparte leads in Elba, on the authority of private letters from Tuscany :—He endeavours, in a particular manner, to gain the esteem of the Engli►h—he has acquired the English and Ger man languages, and now speaks both with tolerable fluency—he sleeps but little, and rides about much, inspecting the various buildings which he has ordered Every day he goes to mass, and appears to be very devout : afterwards he retires to his apartments, where he reads and writes for the greater part of the day. —He is in a good humour for several days, but suddenly he becomes so peevish that no person dares to approach him. He takes an airing frequently in a carriage, with the daughter of President Valuing. Every Sunday he holds a Court. FRANKFORT, SEPTEMBER 4. The Princess of Wales set out today for Mentz, on her way to Italy. Every thing is ready for the Congress at Vienna : and it is in the midst of projects of ambition and plans of aggrandisement from all descriptions of powers, that the negotiations for the pacification of Europe 4;e to commence. We are even assured that the dis content of some Cabinets is no longer a secret, and that the pion of the Allied Powers is held together' b 1 slender threads. In fact, if we take a slight view of the prawn*. situation of Europe, never were dispo si:ions less pacific. All are still under arms, with the exception of sonar militia and landwelirs. In the North they affect to spread rumours as to the preten eons which a great power makes upon certain pro vinces. Thy Poles, suspended `between /14s acid fear, will not be tranquil until they know what is to be the C institution promised them. The declaration of the °dicers of this nation, addressed to General Dombtowsky, who enjoys their esteem and confidence, shews the dispositions which prevail in Poland. The Poles, who are humbled without being dejected, wish to recover from the divisions which have been made of their country, and will not be satisfied until this Kingdom shall be restored to its integrity. The most moderate have only one wish on this subject in com mon with the most decided patriots. They are ready, on this condition, to submit to any King who shall be given them, whether he is a foreigner or not. The Russian troops are reinforced considerably in Holstein, under the pretext that the affairs of Nor way are not yet terminated, and that the treaty be tween Norway and Sweden is only provisory. The Russian General Beningsen is at the head of this corps d'arn4e. Holstein is perhaps the richest country in Germany at the present day. The Hanoverian troops are recruiting, and are in motion by echelons for the Rhine and Belgium. We are assured that they will be replaced in Hanover by English troops, which will enable the British Cabi net to send troops at all times into the low countries and Germany. But is it not remarkable that England, being at peace with all the people of the Contineht of Europe, and being seriously attacked in Canada, should send twice as many troops to the Continent as to Ame rical Holland at present follows every movement of England t- the HESEDITEET PRINCR has not re nounced the hand of the Princess CHARLOTTE: Hol. land requites the support of England to recover her Islands: thus she is completely in the interests of Great Britain. Some German Princes on the right bank of the Rhine have already, according to for. mer custom, placed corps in the pay of England. i . The English Generals, therefore, see themselves At the head of numerous troops; they send corps On the side of the Meuse, stid,...their partizans give out that Belgium will he - agrindiaed at the Congress of Vienna, and, if we can believe them, will extend en die barks of the Rhine. A numerous Prussian corps d'armee has taken pose' between the Meuse and Mozelle, and will remain until the fate of these countries are decided. It is said that the country between the Rhine and Mozelle will be stared among three Princes, whose napes are even mentio44, but this is mere conjecture. France and Russia will, necessarily, have great in flume at the Coupess at Vienna. It is difficult to foresee what will be the result of the shock of so men? . . interests. eoNvoys. The Ship-owners and Merchants throughout the Island seem far from satisfied with the assurances that have been given them by Mr. CIOKER, that their in, terests are fully protected. /at a Meeting held at Glasgow a few days ago, it was resolved that a Me. morial should be presented to the PRINCE REGENT on this subject. A Meeting of the Merchants, Ship owners, and Underwriters at Greenock was held on Saturday, to consider of the propriety of petitioning his ROYAL HIGHNESS respecting adequate protection to their property—the result has not yet reached us. The principal Merchants and Ship-owners of Bristol, so Lir from being satisfied with the letter last issued by Mr. Caonsit, have (fifty-five in number) signed a Requisition to the Mayor to convene a General Meet ing 4 , to take into consideration the present unpro tected state of our Maritime Trade," *c. In conse quence of which Requisition the Mayor appointed 'ruesday (this day) for such Meeting. The result shall be laid before our Readers. rbir.4l: INTALLIGENIM FALMOUTH, SIPTEMBER to.

Friday, a schooner was seen cruising below Lundy, supposed to be an enemy, as she was seen to chase several vessels.—The Cam., LIAN has recaptured the Atalante, PATTERSON master, from BuenosAyres, which has arrived in our harbour. Loss OF HIS MAJESTY'S SHIP Avote—Thursday last, his Majesty's ship CASTILIAN, Lieutenant LLOYD, (Acting) and Avow, Honourable Captain An- BUTUNOT, having sailed hence about a month ago, gave chace to an American schooner privateer, (having previously recaptured a vessel taken by her) but owing to the superior sailing of the Cas TILIAN, she left the Avow a considerable distance be hind, who, after a short time, found herself in sight of a vessel, which she hailed and Lf , manded wh , she was ?—upon which she replied, heave to, and I'll let you know who I am" this was about nine o'clock at night* and fired a gun at the Avon, when a most sanguinary action commenced, which continee3 until eleven o'clock ; she then sheere ! aid said, " this is the Wasp." 'She appea!eL a sink. ing state, and glad to get off. The AVON then fired signal guns to the CA , it LAN. Upon the CAS. newt coming to 'he Avow, she 'fell h with the Wasp, and demanded who sae was which she made no answer. The Cas.tetax lufied under her lee quarter and gave her is hreadside, and then hail ed again—but no answer, nor yet a single musket fired. The CASTILIA* finding the sinking state of the Aver, made every effort :o save the lives of her brave crew ; fortunately the whole were saved.— ' As the last boat with the wounded had got about half way to the CASTILIAN, the AVON went down head foremost. We lament to say that between the second and third broadside, Lieut. PRENDEROAsT, the gallant First Lieutenant of the AVON. received a mortal wound across he belly, from a grape shot, while in the act of cheering the crew. The Avow lost nine killed and SS wounded. Asloon as theCiturteete had diseharr ed the duties of humanity, in taking on board the AvoX's crew, she made all sail for the Wasit. who appeared so cut up as to be in a sinking state, but could not make out any trace whatever of her. The Louie Family sailed from St. Helena two days previous to the ,Samarang and Labelle, and fant on the 6th May, as stated in all the papers yestesdey evening. The Isabella parted from the Semarang shortly after leaving St. Helena, being a bad sailer. PASICNOIRS PLR SiiIIARANO•-•From Bombay, Mrs. Bow. shut. and family, Ensign Dunlop, Mr.Wilkarns.

CO YRN T-GARDEN maims. Last night this Theatre, having got the start •ef Drury-lane, was opened, for the first time this season, with the Tragic Play of Pizarro, and the popular Melo.drame of Me Miller mod kis Men: on which ecca sion the principal Performers were cheerfully wel comed by the audience, but particularly Mr. YOUNG. who reflects so much credit upon his profusion, by making his private worth correspond with his public mutts. Of a play like Pizarro, which bas been for years so deservedly well-known to the public, we need say nothing, but, in our opinieo, the performance 4 ot• Mr. YOUNG, in Redia. Mn. Rittarm (late Mrs. Powsu.) in Moira, and especially of Mrs. H, Jotter. :trots, in Gra, eiceeded every exertion that we hays formerly sem tbes make in thaw respective characters: The magnenimoui Re& found a powerful yid most minasl representative in Mr. Yettno, who se nu to be recollecting and athurnonizi e sp' all Ilia innate eigourand abiliues, in order to a success! ul cora petion with his powerful rival at the other hpuse. The inward wothings between natitralptide and cue. scions shame in the breast of the haughty, but guilty, Moira, were admirably pourtrayed in the ret fo, tnance of Mrs. PZNAUD• But, above all, the loves and the .sorrows of the amiable and virtu() s tere, were dis played withunconunou pathos by Mrs, H t Jour: 'IONS Mr. BAEGYMORE. in Pizarro, was, as um. I, v.ry re spectable, and on the whole, the Play re - eived a fait representation, and was throughout warmly -ppland. ed. The Afterpifte was greeted 4: a similur maw ner. The house was very full. Among the more datingpithed persons present, we remarked her Grace tboDs4tieleaSfinahanores Lads U. H mitt:row. I Upon the Theatre being completely lighted, it f ir& ililted to the eye the same *chaste brilliancy for which it has heretofore been conspicuous. The whole in.erior of the building has been thoroughly de tne ,4 , and all those parts which had sustained injury wete rost-led Ito their original beauty. In addition to this, a beau. tiful light curtain has been adopted, in the room of the old heavy green draperl, which has heretqlr,re been adopted in every Theatre. Tii: new curtßip is completely a la•Franfair. The ground is a light blue, painted so as to present an appearance of luxuriant folds—and on this is di-played a profusion of roses, thistles, and shamrocks, in unison with the other dc. corations of the huuse. In the centre are the arms of the PRINCE g CORN Ty and at the base is a deep r Idea fringe. The seats in the Orchestra also have under gone altern . ' , n, b :in7 divided into a succession' of be.iChes, on which tha inti,kians are placed with their tasks towards the leader of the band, and their sides to the audience; and not as heretofore, one-half of them with their backs to the pit. Two light and, elegant staircases have been constructed for the ac commodation of the public, which connect the S.. loons, and render the pa:sager more commodious r especially for that part of the company, who mingle their put suits of beauty, with their love of the Drama, " 6 A set of jovial Bucks, who there resort, Fiusb'd from the tavern, reeling ripe for sport I" Upon the appessranee of the orchestral corps, the an. (hence demonstrated their loyalty by loud calls for the favourite' air, " GOD Save the Kink." This was played instrumentally, but didnot satisfy the wishes of the clamorous multititude, and repeated.cries for the vocal pertorme's came from all parts of the house. The tumult was at length appeased' by the appearance of Mr. BAREYDACIEE, who came forward. and apolo. gized for the absence of the singers. He assured the audience, however, that at the end of the play, their wishes should be gratified ! This apology wi t s deemed satisfactory, and the play of Pizarro proceeded. On the conclusion of the performance, ".Goo Save the 'King" was sung by the whole corps, and warmly cheered, . Adviees have been received from Sr. Domingo to the Stith of July, by which we are enabled absolinelY to contradict the statement in the Juunal du Detau, that Partom had hoisted the white flag, and that in the cause or Trance be was pnceeding to exterminate Csnmorita and his adherews. Neither the President it Port-au-Prince, not the seif.created Sovereign at Cape Henry, were at all inchind tA restore the island to France.
