FRENCH PAPERS. PARIS, JULY Is. The state of health of her Royal Highness the Puchess of Berry is very satisfactory. She is now completely recovered. The funeral procession which yesterday accompanied the precious remains of the august Princess Louisa Isabella d'Artois, arrived at eleven o'clock at night at St. Denis. The body of her Royal Highness was afterwards presented in the church, and the Abbe de Bombelles, First Almoner of the Duchess of Berry, accompanied by the curate of the parish of Assumption, as well as the Ladies of the Court, and the different personages whom we - mentioned yesterday. pronounced the following discourse :—" In presenting here, by the express commands of the King, the body of her Royal Highness Mademoiselle, about to be laid in those sacred vaults, the last abode of Kings, her ancestors, we shall say, in the words of Ecclesiastes, She ap peared like the rainbow, which shines in a luminous sky, and like the rose which appears in spring.'— A few days have passed since the instant that this rose svai produced amid all that is great on the earth, and announced, by its beauty and freshness, every thing that appeared to promise a long exeistence.— Alas ! in less than .twelve hours she passed from a state of the most perfect health to sufferings which hastened her death. An end so unexpected over whelms with sorrow the authors of her being, and loads as with sadness. But let us partake likewise the consolations which Religion insrires into the be loved race who are penetrated with it. Mademoi selle, regenerated by the waters of baptism, and never touched by any imperfection, is henceforth the Angel of our country—an Angel who, united in Heaven with the Saints of her family, will gain for herselt, and draw duwn upon us, the benediction, of the LORD !" The body of the young Princess was opened, and no organic defect, or accidental injury could be dis covered as the cattse of her malady, or the occasion of her death. The diligence going between Bourdeaux and Ton. louse was stops on the night of the 9th inst. at the descent of the Malouse, and robbed. The robbers used great violence towards the travellers, and rifled them of 10,000 francs. They had used thaiprecau tion of placing on the highway figures of straw, to cause an illusion with regard. to their numbers. The Police is in pursuit of the brigands. The following article in the Coorritutiaand, was the cause of the suppression of that Journal a " We remark amongst his fittest pictures (Isabey) the whole length figure of a chill. holding iu its two bands an enormous bouquet of roses. This association of the colours of spring and dee graces of lofaney, recalls and embodies ideas of hope. In the Mtiddie ot the bouquet the author has placed some beautiful blue Rowers. The tamable of this composition has the must pleasing Iffect. These Bowers are called in German Wergiu (it should be wares) wiria sight, forget me not." FROM THE MAINE. (Extracted from a Genuaa Paper.) We look iorward to serious measures for the pur pose of chastising the insolence of the Barbary Pi rates. In the discussing this subject at the Diet, a singular light seems to have been thrown on the pro feedings of the English Cabinet, a light which cer tainly must hurt the pride of every noble Briton. But the aid of English ships of war is not indispen sibly necessary to put a stop to this abuse : if the Rulers of the Sea do not of themselves tale those oteasures, which above all others, they seem called on to take, and if they stand by as indiffertnt spec tators, and allow the burden to fall on our shoulders, it will not certainly be found too heavy for us. To the German federation belong Austria, Denmark, and the Netherlands, whose united naval forces are more than able to bid defiance to the African Pirates. The Germans were once powerful at sea, they may be so again, and such circumstances as the present, are precisely those which are calculated to make them so. For as the Plenipotentiary from the tree towns jadicionsly observes in his proposal to the Diet, though the German federation as such has no naval force, neither the means nor the power will be awanting to enable it in an efficacious manner to provide for the safety of the German navigation. And we may add, the German Rinse Towns alone acting under the authority of, and supported by the federation. are in a condition to equip a sufficiency of vessels for the punishment of a set of thieves, who have often b een put to flight by the slender forces of the Maltese.

A Mail arrived this morning from Holland, and brought printed Journals and Letters to the t Oth in- stant, but their contents are of little importance. The Ambassador of the Netherlands, on his arrival at Cambray from Paris, had a long interview with the Duke of WELLINOTON. The Prince of Hmt, and other Officers of high rank, were also there. After harvest, two-thirds of the Allied Troops on the French frontier will be assembled for a grand review. His Majesty the KING of PRUSSIA, when he visits France, will pass through Luxemburg, and then go to Thionville, after which he will proceed to Sedan, Long wy, and Montmede. The Spanish Consul has cfficially signified, by an advertisement in the Atasterdara Courant, that by a Royal Ordinance of the Ibth May, the importation of foreign Soap into the Spanish Peninsula and the neighbouring Islands is prohibited. The Paris Papers of Friday arrived last night, and those of Saturday this morning. Some pathetic nonsense on the life, death, and in terment of the little August Princess, who died of the cl►olic at the age of forty-eight hours and a quar ter, we have extracted for the amusement of our Readers in another column. The Moniieur, under the head of Portugal, contains the !Pal announcement of .the news brought by the Novo Porde from Pernambuco. It states, that on the 20th May the Royal flag had been hoisted on the fortresses of Alinda and Recife - by the inhabitants of the town, the Rebels having been put entirely to the route in the neighbourhood of Cape St. Augustine by the troops from Bahia : and that some of the In. surgent Chiefs, who had fled into the interior, were so closely pursued that there was no doubt of their being taken. A private Letter from Lisbon, of date the 2d in. slant, adds, that the Insurgents fought with great obstinacy ; that it was not till after two bloody bat des, which took place on the 18th and 19th of May, that the Bahian forces, under Count D'Anoos, had been able to push their way to Pernambuco; and that the principal leaders had fallen sword in hand, excepting the Chief, MARTINS * who had fled into the woods. While the King of PORTLOAL has been thus suc cessful in quelling the spirit of insurrection in his own dominions, it would appear from some other ex tracts from the Official Gazette of Rio de Janeiro of the Ist of May, that he has not seen without concern, the very different fortune attending the efforts of hit well beloved Brother of Spain. First, there is a let ter from his Minister Plenipotentiary at the United States, to Mr. Secretary Murano, in which he corn plains that most of the privateers which infest the American seas, under the Independent Flag of Buenos Ayres, have been actually fitted out in ports of the United States, and are the property of American Citi zens, who, forgetful of their national honour, are not ashamed of becoming pirates in order to amass riches. —lt is true, indeed, the Minister Plenipotentiary ad mits that none of these marauders have as yet made capture of any Pernquese ship ; but it is a fact, he sap, that all of them have instructions to act against the Portuguese as well as the Spanish flag, the moment his Majesty of Portugal may take it into his head to make war against the Government of Buenos Ayres; and on this conditional declara tion of hostility he founds the right of Portugal to interfere in the matter, and to require that the Go vernment of the United States shall take such mea sures as may put an end to such an abuse, by its citi zens, of all the laws of nation,. An answer from Mr. blostaoz then follows, inclosing the copy of a Message which the PiILUDENT had sent to the Senate sad House of Representatives on the subject, in con sequence of which, as our Readers may be already aware, an Act of Congress did pass, on the 3d of March last, istterdicting by the strictest provisions the citizens of the Republic from interfering in the con test between Spain and its Colonies.— So tar then as regards Spain, the representation of the Portuguese Government appears to have had a very proper ef fect ; but as to Portugal herself, we should like to know what there is unfair in the Government of Buenos Ayres instructing its cruizers to act against the , Portuguese whenever the Portuguese begin to act against them ? The declaration, we think, is in every respect most prudent, most just—and if it is to get quit of the restraining effect it must have upon the Portuguese Government, and enable it to lend assist ance to Spain in the contest with her suffering Colo nies, this representation has been made to the Government of the United States, we have only to say, that, however much we may approve of the course that Government has taken, we trust the In dependent Bag may continue to By, as dreaded and puissant as ever. raw,la Funds, 18th July, 66E. 60 c. EMT INDIES. We have this day received a file of Calcutta Pa. pers. The following is from the Caksitia Jouraal, February 10 :—" We learn that a French Governor had arrived and received possession of Cheenan dagore, the former French settlement, 30 miles above Calcutta ; Pondicherry, 100 miles below Madrass, on the Coromandel. had also been delivered to the French Authorities ; but the territory ceded with those places scarcely surpassed the diameter of .three miles around which the British had such a line of bounda- ries that the French possessions of the East are merely nominal, every article imported into them and ex ported from them, being subject to the English Co mpany's duties." • Articles at Calcutta appear to have risen to nearly double their former prices. In another column we have given, from tee Ghent Journal of the 18th, another German diatribe against England. From a perusal of this article, could any one be found ignorant of the history cf Europe for ' the last quarter of a century, or of its present state, he would be induced to believe, that at this moment Britain is at war with all the world ; spreading the havoc and desolation of war over the face of the earth ; oppressing the weak, and tyrannizing over the help. less; rubbing the defenceless, and setting the dictates of justice at defiance. ' g , Europe (says this writer) is under this yoke of England—a yoke more real than that of NAPOLEON, though invested with less humiliating forms." Poor man ! has he forgot the fate of Plush the German bookseller ? Is he not afraid to utter such truths, under 44 a yoke more real than that of NoroczoN ?" Or rather, does not his own personal safety, while he utters such slanders, belie his assertions ?—. Eng. land went to war to enrich herself with the spoils of other countries, whose colonies she seized—but for this the Continental system would have ruined hero What would now have been the state of thesecountries had England not gone to war ? In whose hands would their colonies have now been ?—Who has now got the greater part of the very colonies conquered by England ? Would these now have had them, had they once fallen under the ken real yule of Napo leon 7—But so England would haw bens ruined by the continental system, but for these conquests l" lizre the author exposes his sore. The ruin of England has ever been the prim:son evoke of all the actions of NAPOLEON and his adherents. ,$ The ruin of Eng land would have been accomplished 1" and was this necessary for the welfare of Europe ? Who was to have been benefited by this ruin ? Only 'NAPOLEON, and those whose hopes have been blasted by his overthrow. This scribbler has all the will, but not the talent, to excite re;rets for the subversion of the Corsican dynasty. He might have had more discretion than to pit NAPOLEON against England. The Continental Powers know well the difference between the two. They have not yet forgot his military executions, his robberies, confiscations, requisitions, and exactions. Nor will they ever forget his daring insolence in com pelling their Sovereigns and Nobles to dance atten dance on His Greatness like so many lacqueys. But England braved all his threats, all his assaults, all his efforts to ruin and subjugate her. Nay morel she had the temerity to interpose her mighty fortitude And perseverance for the emancipation of Europe— and, what is more galling to this writer, she suc ceeded This is an act never to be forgiven by the vagabond Napoleonists who, spewed out from the soil of France, vent their impotent spleen against the country and people by whom their idol has been overthrown, and themselves bafßed, defeated, and covered with contempt. Scold away, ye despicable reptiles—nod by your abuse of the liberty of the Press—a liberty for which you are indebted to the enlightened policy of Eng land, give more evidence daily, how greatly ye are fallen—how completely ye are mortified ! You talk of the rights of Nations ! What would you substitute for the practical illustration which Englind has given of the respect that is due to than 3—Your Milan and Berlin Decrees 3—Do you hope to persuade the world that military subjugation is preferable to commercial enterprize and the bles sings of social intercourse, accompanied with the mu tual benefits of protected industry.—Yes, for we like to vex you, by reminding you of truth.—England has beaten and foiled you and your idol in arms— she surpasses you in ingenuity and industry. ;t is for the interest of other nations to trade with her, and while it is for their interest to do so they will do it whether the NAPOLXON scribblers like it or not. Excel us in manufactures—undersell us in the markets of Europe, and those who cannot, by all your elo quence, be persuaded to give you fifteen-pence for what the English are willing to sell for st shilling, will then become your customers, in spite of their net spread from Heligoland to Jersey —from Gibral tar to Malta, and the lonian Isles—from the Cape to India—over New Holland, Asia, and America. At the usual hour yesterday at which we get our returns from the Corn Exchange, Wheat, as we , stated, had risen two shillings per quarter, but at the close of the day, we find that Flour bad fallen five shillings per sack.

BRIGHTON, JULY 20. From the lit of May last to the 30th June, no less than 1030 families have embarked of board the dif ferent packets, which sail from this place to Dieppe, whilst only 409 individuals have returned. This town has become more metamorphosed than any watering place in England for the last 17 years. Instead of the cottages, and the huts and habitations of fishermen, an incessant increase of new edifices are raising in every direction. On the Marine parade no less than fifty large houses are erecting for addi tional visitors. In other quarters of thy town we have calculated eighty-four small tenements. I: is impossible to foresee the consequences of these un wieldy speculations, which chiefly depend upon Royal patronage ; but the truth is more authenticated, whim we are acquainted, that from the Ist of J anuary, 181.5, to July 15, 1817, there have been 420 addi tional houses rated in the books for Poor's rates, in dependent of innumerable dwellings that have ac tually been built for 425 each, and afterwards rented to poor people at 4s. per week. A piece of ground to the northeast of the Pavilion offered to the Prince of VALES in 1795 for £l6OO, has, within the tour last years, fetched £56,200 on building leases. If the moralist was to contemplate en the present rate of purchasing amusements here, the calculiltiln would astound all believers. It is supposed that the average of one-card loos, of eight !shillings eact:, a:: DONALDSON'S, WAL/CER'S t WRIGHT'S libraries, an.ii at the musical bazaar, at the most moderate es.tirn.:- don, does not fall short of £5O every trenr.F. taking the average at thirty loos at each of - tablishanents. Yesterday, about two o'clock, the CHANCELLC;I: of the EXCHEQUER left town for Harwich, to be present this day at a grand entertainment to be given by the Right Hon. Gentleman to his Confiltionzs, se;: s 'have lately re-elected him, on his new aripointmen: of Chancellor of the Exchequer of Ireland. The DaY of TRIPOLI has presented the rttiNcE P. F.- ' GENT with such remains of antiquity as are movea . .):. at Lebyda, which is famous for being the site Carthage. The Weymouth storeship, Mr. TuaNtm commanding, is now on her voyage thither, tcr the. purpose of receiving and carrying to England those ancient monuments, which are represented ss highly curious, and illustrative of that once splendid capital. It is stated that the Mx has offered protection, as far as his authority extends, to any European who is wil ling to attempt to journey from Tripoli to Tom'Ac• too. This, however, will prove but trilling, as OA: greatest danger exists after quitting his kr: it.ries, as the road lies then directly across the Great Desart and, which is by far the most perilous, through a Era of sand, and the scarcity of watc, bcitles ai.tw - ks waudsjing tquots.
