The Paris Papers of Monday arrived this morning. The opening of the Electoral Colleges of the Depart ment of the Seine has attracted a great confluence of voters. The invitation of the Ministers appears to * have produced all the stirring effect at which it aimed. A general and powerful interest hrs been excited, to exercise that noblest of privileges which can tall to the lot of free citizens—the choice of those who are to legislate for their security and happiness. At all the Sections nearly the whole of the Electors are computed to have assembled on the first day, and, we are happy to add, as a proof of no small im provement in the bum of political feeling in France, that great order and decorum universally prevailed. From the following state of the votes on Sunday fur one of the Sections, (the 19th). some opinion may be formed (It the probable result of the whole: l'or M. M.

Four Heads of Direction have been substituted in place of ten divisions of which it formerly consisted. and various other subordinate im provements introduced. The number of individbals employed, will, it is said, be thus reduced from 900 to 400. The Minister, Marshal Gouvton Sr. Cr; received on Monday the felicitations of all the General and Field Officers now in Paris. Circumstances of peculiar atrocity marked the dis turbances which took place near Lyons.—Captain Houma!, and a des of iixtees, were condemned to death as guilty of High Treason. Some ream, soldiers Imre on duty at the execution I at its termination they seised the bodies, which were dragged about and Mangled in a style that recalled the most disastretus apousents of the . Revolution. The seal of these men being now animated, they pillaged the neighbouring holism and committed every- species of. emu.— We are happpy, however, to state, that the Ministers have made several of these persons feel the severest effects of their diiple-asure. atumsaiattiotror N. ?muss. At last this bocrible tri al, which for nearly a Ilbootb has almost eiclusively occupied the public aeration, bas terminated, and the guilt of the accused is determined. Oa the lt.th inst. at the opening of the Sitting, at half-past nine o'clock in the mornin* tint President of the Court pronounced the debates awed, and pro eeeSed to sum up the case in a sitant# alike remark. Ole for its metbod, exactness, and precision, as for the great moral lessons which he drew from the subject. He concluded by reading the questions which he had to seismic to the Jury ; they were in number Afty.one. ';Oa the same 414, at six o'clock at night, the Jury ltaeing finitsed their deliberations, returned into Ginn, whesithe President announced that the women Sauslon and Guiltier, as well as the girl Bsncal, wire so seriously indisposed that they were not in a Collatioll to make *eir appearance. With the con. Nit of all parties, their presence was dispensed with.

Gummi. then required the ap. The Pnocvakroa plication of the law. The PINIUMBIT of the Court first pronounced, in *trite of the power confided to him by the I.aw, t h e Squittal Of the woolen illusion and Guider, and the girl Bancal, and ordained that they should be immrdiateiy art at liberty. The Court gfterwards retired into the Council Chamber to deliberate, and returned into Court at eight o'clock precisely. The PRESIDENT then, in presence of the minds, pronounced the judgment of the Court, which con demned Battide, JJeutosi, Bait, Caul!, and the widow Bancal, to death ; Minonier, to perpetual imprison ment in irons ; Benoit, to perpetual seclusion ; and Bong:tier, to one year's imprisonment. The Court, before deciding on the demand for damsges, appointed a Commissioner to inquire and report, and deferied till the 13th giving judgment on this point. The criminals still persist in their denial, and have appvaled against the judgment. l'.S. Tu these details the private correspondence adds a fact which appears certain—that a warrant of Arrest has been issued against Madaine Manson. it has been already stated, that in the sitting of the I I th, this lady, on being told that she had nothing to fear from the culprits, since they were in irons, ex claimed, that " all his guilty are not in irons!" We have now to add, that the Paestore'r having upon this insisted that she should name the other guiltp , who were still concealed, she replied, " The truth shall never escape from my mouth." If it be true that some of the authors of this horrible crime have after all escaped the vengeance of the laws, one can. not too much applaud a measure, which, by forcing Madame Manson to speak, the whole truth will ulti mately bring totem to the puniAment they merit. It is asserted positively, in letters from Rio Janeiro, that there is no intention whatever in the mind of the King of PORTUGAL to revisit his native country ; but some alterations, we understand, are to be imme diately adopted, on account of the inconvedlence of the situation of Rio Janeiro as a Royal Court. The capital is to be removed to St. Paulo, where there is already a small Palace for the accommodation of the family. This town is in the Captainship of St. Vicente, and is immediately south of the Captainship of Rio Janeiro. The fine port of Rig will still remain the harbour of trade, but its connection with the adjacent province is not sufficiently intimate to reader it a fit situation for the Imperial •city, under the magnificent scheme of Government contemplated in the nine- Atlantic settlements. The Count de PALMILLA is certainly to be Minister fur Foreign Affairs; he has conducted himself with so much ability in Europe, that, although young, he is looked op to with consi derable expectation, and as far u any conclusions may be drawn from bis conduct at the Congress of Vienna and at this Cdurt, very faveurabk opinions are entertained of his official deportment in the lofty post assigned to him ; and it seems that the appoint ment is likely to give general satisfaction to all the Members of the Greed Mamma We learn dome& the same chiliad to which we are indebted for the preceding particulars, that the Patna ROYAL of PORTUGAL is likely 10.111RGTII to Europe, to undertake the important duties of Viceroy, and to hold his Court fur that purpose at Lisboa. The Government of Gibraltar has learnt with cer-' tainty, that the plague bag manifested itself in the island of Negropost, and on the coast of Dalmatia.' in the district of Moracasa ; and that another dan gerous malady has manifested itself at Messina. Is consequence of this intelligence, the ports of Corfu, Malta, and Gibraltar, have bees shut against vessels' coming from these places or their neighbourhood ; and all those coming from other pointroftbe coast of Italy, are to be subjected to a quarantine of observation. Reports having been &twisted of the eminence of a contagions malady at Comma, the Supreme Junta of Health wrote to the Captala-general of Galicia to learn the state of health in that quarter. His Ex cellency Den Pease Di Sr. MAR, sent, in reply, to Madrid, reports from phyliciaas, from which it re sults that the state of beans at Catnaps is similar to what it ha's been for several years at this period of the year, sad that there emits no dangerous malady. The Africureorsain are again beginning so spread alarm throughout the Mediterranean by their depre dations. The following is an amide from Rome on the subject, at the e7dr ultimo s * Wi hive reeelved advice from Planddeo, et the aid ultimo whirls states, dim a lierbary pirate had chased an Italian lad, mod had at Mark cease op with her.

Authentic intelligence has also been received at liamburgh. from Cerogne, stating that a Bremen vessel, called the Leda, bad been captured by a Tu. nisi., galley, and carried into that port, but that, owing to the efforts of the French Coosa! at 'that port, M. BARNUM, and the Prussian Consul, M. DAIJS, she had been liberated after her arrival. .4 Littera from Strasburg of the 16th state, tharthe review. near Colmar. had terminated, and that all the Austrian troops were retttiniiig to their fernier quarters. The Doke of WesAtli:riffs had left Colmar to proceed by St. Dies to Nancy. and would retort from thence to his htad-quarters at Cambray. By erret of the 15th inst. the Prevotal Court of Versailles has condemned M.

Succession. tg the Throne. . TXE ARMY. Friday, the first di•isinn of the Is►, or Royal Dra goons, arrived in Berwick, on their route to Hamilton Barracks. Friday the 78th Regiment were reviewed at Aber deen, by Major:General HOPS., Commander of the Forces, who expressed his highest approbation of the military appearance and discipliue of that fine regi ment, and the accuracy and precision %kith which they performed their various evolutions. The first division of the 103 J regiment, recently landed from Canada, under the command of Major Eutov, have marched into Chelmsford Barracks, where the remainder of the corps are shortly expected to j :in it. Lieutenant TRANT, of the 80th regiment, hai been obliged to suffer amputation of his leg, in c msequence of a severe butt while on duty in India. The ope ration was performed on Thursday last at Chatham. He bore it with uncommon fortitude, never uttering a word until completed, when he said—""'Thank GoD!" In re:ating in the STAR of the sth September last the accident which occurred to the Integrity trans port, which struck on a reef of rocks on the 20th of August when beating op for Cork Harbour with a detachment of the 80th Regiment and discharged soldiers on board, we find we committed a misnomer. The Officer who displayed so much gallantry and coolness on that trying occasion, and•to whose exer tions the safety of the crew and vessel was in a great measure to be attributed, was Ensign JAWS CALI/- W= 2 of the 80th Regiment.

A twelvemonth ago More than half of the ship wrights of Liverpool - were out of work : at present there is scarcely a single good workman unemployed. The same may be said of most of the other classes of Mechanics and artificers connected with shipping. Liverpool letters furnish no farther particulars that pare interesting with regard to the late fraud on the revenue. The vessel was cleared out for Hamburgh. The extent of the fraud is not yet ascertained ; several more people are stated to be implicated. The search after the goods in London continues with great acti. why, and several farther seizures have been made. Tranquillity continues to prevail at Breslau, nor has there been Any disturbance in any other quarter of Silesia. Precautions are, however, still observed at Breslau, and the garrison has been reinforced by two regiments A private letter from Dresden, dated September 9, says—" There is a great influx of strangers here, at present, whn are chiefly Russians, Prussians. or Poles, returning from Carlsbad, or Toplitz. The English are not numerous ; amongst them are the Earl of AWCRAM, Lnrd WM. RUSSILL, and Sir HUGH DM.- ItYMPLI. Of those who are here, very few were ab- sent from the Theatre, the other night. when Marleth, well translated by SCHLZOIL, was performed.
