In those of Ftiday, which have llso come to hand this morning, we find little addi tional which is of much interest. The Duke of Was, manta and suite left Paris on Friday morning, for Mont Saint Martin, a chateau in the neigLbourhood of Cambray, where the Duchess and family reside. Mr. BARING had had a long interview with the Duke previous to his depatture. The Funds rose on Thurs day to 68 francs, and closed at 67 francs 85 cents. A Mail from Hamburgh arrived yesterday, given in a preceding column ; and this morning we teccived a farther supply of German Papers, from which we subjoin some extracts ; An article from the Maine, of the 19th instant, states, that among the effects lett by the celeb: aced Werner, there are several MSS. nearly ready f..r ' the press. This great man had p; inted nothing siace 17;4.—his labours always appeared to hint nut suf ficiently matured; but his instructions were spread over the world by thousands of scholars. His cabinet of Minerals, consisting of 100,000 specimens, hms not become the priperty of the King of Saxony, as has been reported, but of the Mineralogical Academy at Freiberg. . The famous Madame Krudener is said to intend to found a colony and a community in her peculiar religious principles, upon Mount Caucasus. A new novel of her writing, called" le Solitaire converii," will acquaint the world with the history of her co - version, and the whole system of the moral rem. lotion which she projects. VIENNA, JULY IL A circular -letter, published by the Government of Lower Austria on the 2d, to annul the prohibition to export warlike stores, concludes thus : " For the rest, it fellows, of course, that, in send. ng abroad these articles, the exportation of which is ' now permitted, regard must be had to the exceptions pointed out by public law and the law of nations ; and that therefore this general perm;ssion of the ex portation k watlike ammunition does not include the liberty ro send such articles directly to countries which are in ►state of insurrectiodagainiit their law. ful Government." COBOURG, JULY 13. The Government Journal of yesterday contains an article stating, that his Serene Highness, having been informed that the inhabitants intend to illuminate the t o wn on occasion of the marriage of his Highness with the Princess Louisa of Saxe Gotha, is highly sensible to this intended mark of his subjects' affec tiop bat being, without this, sufficiently convinced of their attachment, he thinks it his duty, in times of distress like the present especially, to request tli.it every one employ what he intended to spend, rather in giving work and bread to the poor, than in so mo mentary a sign of joy. These sentiments, says his those of the future Duchess.— Highness, are equally A prudent distribution of benefits is at all times th e best proof of the feefings'of tip heart. dows are broken, that there is not Blau enough in the town to repair them.

STOCKHOLM, JULY IL Hitherto the post in Sweden has been confined to the conveyance of letters ; there was no accommoda tion for travellers, only the farmers were obliged to convey travellers from stage to stage, at the rate of twelve pence per mile (a Swedish mile is six English) for each horse. This regulation is injurious to agri culture, and there having been no conveyance what- ever for goods and parcels, very desirable to trade, industry, and the sciences, the Government has re solved to remedy this defect, and by way of a begin ning, to establish regular post-coaches for passengers and goods between this city and Gottenburgh ; and j also between this and Helstugburgh, on the Sound. The commercial relations between Sweden and Rus sia are farther prolonged to the end of the year, ac cording to the stipulations of the Treaties t 4 1801 and 1809. AMERICA. New York papers, to the lit oftinly, Boston to the 29th June. and Jamaica . to the 24th do. arrived this morning. The Jamie's.

"The vessels that wee' seen off Trinidad on the 11th ultimo, (as mentioned under the Barbadoes bead in yesterday's Paper) passed Margaritta on the 15th, steering N.W. supposed bound for the HavAnnah, anti we learn had escaped from Augustura, on its falling into the bands of the Insurgents. BOLIVAR, after taking the above place, proceeded for Caraccas, and, it appears by letters received in the city by the Lame, was within one day's march of it, which city was expected to surrender without the slightest re sistance." By the Lion, Captain WiLsorc, arrived at Liver pool, and which sailed front Bahia on the Gth of Jane, a confirmation has been received of the sur render of Pernambuco to the Royal Portuguese troops. MARTINS was taken in the woods, to which he had retired, after being defeated and wounded in an action with the Royalists.—The Lion brought dis patches for Government. The Alice from Charleston, which she left on the ht of July, has also reached Liverpool. Accounts reached Charleston on the day the Alice sailed, that Sir GREGOR M‘GREGOR had taken possession of Amelia I►land, St. Mary's, &c. We expect fuller accounts by to-morrow's post, as the Mail was on the point of departure from Liverpool when these vessels arrived. Since writing the foregoing, accounts from Bahia to the 7th June, have reached us by the Walsing. barn packet. Our Correspondent states, that on the 4th of June he received a letter from Pernam buco, stating, 44 that every thing was restored there to its former state of peace." The troops from Bahia had an engagement with the Pernambuccans about twelve leagues to the southward, in which the latter were completely defeated, and the greater part of their leaders taken prisoners.—Those who effected their escape, fled into the woods, where they were completely surrounded, sad some are daily brought in."

The Duke of YORK artivrd at the Castle, and returned to London.—This being Elec tiros-day, the young Gentlemen of Eton College had their annual excursion on the River.

Y-sterday evening a pleasure-boat was upset in Sion Reach, near Brentford, and four, out of a party of severs young men, were drowned. The Sale of Lord CoctinaNE's estate and effects, at Holly-hill, on Monday last, was numerously and respectably attended. The lawn before the house, and the roads leading to it, were thronged wide elm barouches, and other carriages. The mansion and lands were knocked down to Mr. }lawman, of Bath, at £d0,220. The furniture, which was ele gant, also sold at high prices. Lord Committee - was present, and publicly gave several bidding: for the estate, till upwards of £lO,OOO had been offered. EXTRAORDINARY INSTANCE OF ANIMAL KINDNESS.... In the menagerie of Brussels there is a Lion called Dance, whose cell was lately in want of some repairs. His keeper desired a carpenter to set about them ; but when the workman came and saw the lion he drew back with terror. The keeper entered the ani mal's cell, and led him to the upper part of it while the lower was refitting. He there amused himself for some time playing with the lion, and being weari: ed be soon tell asleep. The carpenter, Sully relying upon the vigilance of the keeper, pursued his work, anxious, it may be supposed, to have done with it as soon as possible. When he had finished he called William, the keeper, to see what he had done, but William made no answer. Having repeatedly called in vain, he began to feel alarmed at his silence, and he determined to go to the upper pert of the cell, where, looking through the railing, he saw the liras and the keeper sleeping, side by side, and immedi ately he uttered a loud cry. The lion, awaked by the noise, started up, and stared at the carpenter with an eye .of fury, and then placing his paw on the breast of his keeper, he lay down to sleep again.— The poor carpenter was dreadfully frightened, and not knowing how he could rouse up William, he ran out and related what he saw. Some of the attendants of the house came and opened the door, which the carpenter had secured with several bars, and con trived to awake the keeper, who upon opening his 'eyes did not appear in the least apprehensive, on ac count of the situation in which be found himself.— He took the paw of the lion, and shook it gently in token ct regard, and the animal quietly returned with him to Its former residence.

JAMAICA, JUNE 19. Thy interruption given by the Spanish Patriots, as they are termed, to our commerce, is severely felt. No vessel can navigate those seas under whatever Rig. in safety. It appears, however, nearly certain, that the vessels thus plundering are a band of pirates at tached to neither party, but renqadoes who are at open war with all the Powers who navigate in those Was.
