The French Papers of Monday have reached es. The preceding day being the bitth•day of the Duc de' Bono4Atrx, it was kept with great state at Court, and great rejoicings in the city. The Prefect of the Seine presented the Rofel Infant, Harms DIEUDONNE, with a medal struck on the happy occa- sion. In the course of the day the KING gave au- ... _ diences to the Royal Family and Foreign Ambassadors. The French Journalists are at issue on the Decree of Lows XVIII. which has converted the Sanitary Cordon into an Army of Observation. The Quoti- dienne, a flaming Ultra Paper. does not hesitate to maintain that it is a measure having for object the seconding the intentions of ,the Holy Alliance the moment the decision at Verona shall be pro nounced; and it complains bitterly of the Journal des Deltas, the most moderate Ministerial paper, be tween which and the Constitutions:el, it says, there is a wonderful similarity. This similarity, has, we are told, filled the Loyalists with the greatest affliction. The Austrian Observer says—" Although the con ferences between the Representatives of the Powers at present in Vienna succeed each other with rapidity, yet affairs are conducted with so mach mystery, that as yet nothing has transpired. We may, however, state as certain, that the opening of the Congress of Ve rona, which ought to have taken place on the Ist of October, has been delayed until the 15th of that month. It appears that the only cause of this delay is the unexpected change in the British Ministry. It is, without doubt, for the same reason, that the Ministe rial conferences which have taken place were not so decisive as they would have been if the late Marquis of Londonderry had come to Vienna." The change in the British Ministry would have been of little consequence, had it not produced a cor responding alteration in the policy of our Court; and we feel persuaded that the Holy Alliance Junto will not find Mr. CANNING so accommodating as his predecessor. These Papers contain intelligence from Madrid to the 20th ultimo, one day later than the news direct from Madrid. The reports respecting the insurgents' are either repetitions or of no importance. The Cent ier Francais gives the following as an extract from a Note of the Portuguese Ambassador to the Spanish Minister of Foreign Affairs, and which is said to have occasioned a coolness between the two Governments: 44 Ought we to restore M - onte Video? To whom ought it to be restored? Ought it to be given up to Auriga.? No; for he has no public character. Ought it to be given up to the people of the Province Certainly not; because the inhabitants, after being subject to the right of conquest, have of their own accord incorporated themselves with Portugal. Ought it to be given to Buenos Ayres? Still less so, foe Buenos Ayres is incapable either of subduing or defending Monte Video. Ought it to be deli vered to Famous, VII. 7 By oo means; because the inhabit ants of the Province are against such an arrangement—because the King of SPAIN does Dot possess an inch of territory in the Province of Rio de b Plata—because the United States have acknowledged the Saab American Government—because Fatty ' smarm Vri. gave occasion to the war by taking no measures to prevent the hunks given to es by Amiss% in Rio-Grande—and because be failed to MAI the Treaty by which he engaged to de liver Cilivensa to Portugal, according to the settlement made by the Congress of Violins.* Another Paper says—' The negociations relative so the alliance with Portugal are nearly concluded. --j A Portuguese of distinction left Madrid for Lisbon on the 13th, as a courier. It is reported that he is the bearepof an ultimatum drawn up in that spirit of sin cerity which belongs to free Government' The reci procal interests of the two nations have been attended to with great wisdom, and it is expected that the de cision of the Portuguese Ministry will be known in the course of ten days in Madrid. A strong Portu guese division win then march without delay to the frontiers of Spain, leaving it to the Cortes of the two, countries to sanction, according to the terms of the Constitution, the treaty of alliance, which we hope to see signed without further difficulty by both Cabinets."-- The following are extracts : PARIS, SEPTEMBER 30. Our letters fromPliayenne are silent upon the pre tended victories borrowed by the Paris Journals from the Joined of Tooloose. They state that Zabala had found means to embark for Franci Letters from Gironne state, that eighty men, of the company formed by the Italian refugees, were at.' tacked by 400 of the Insurgents, in the environs of Casa de la Silva, where they bad been posted to re. ceive the C and that freemen, raw.. enemies of liberty. These brave Italians were soon succoured and delivered, and thus the affair of 4313: ronne was decided in favour of the sacred cause of the country. A letter from Rocroy, of the 27th of September, says—" A fire, which broke out here last night, his spread the greatest consternation. Towards midnight the flames burst oat with great violence in a brewery of considerable extent, which in -an instant it con mimed, es well as two neighbouring boilJings. The [Preservation of the finest street of the city is owing to the devotion which the - inhabitants, the Authorities, and a detachment of the 47th regiment of the line exhibited. A heavy shower of rain, svlth happily fell at the time, served to check the Barnes, which it would otherwise have been dNficult to get under, from the scarcity of water. The amount otloss cannot be yet guessed at. It must have been very great. Most of the buildings, however, were insured.' The tribunal of Correctional Police at Metz has given judgment upon the prosecution of the Public Ministers against Lamort and Bouquillon, Editors of the Abbeille de la Moak, for an article in that Paper of the Sd of September, entitled " An historical rela tion of the events which took place at Colmar." The li article was charged to be written with a view to excite the people to a hatred of the King's Government.—i The sentence of the Court was—a month's imprison ment, and a fine of 150 francs upon Lamort, and 40 days and 200 francs upon Bouquillen. A frightful storm was experienced on the 20th of this month at Marseilles. For a whole hour thunder, wind, rain, and hail, prevailed to such a degree as to put. an end to all laboun The streets were covered with hail-stones of an immense size, and two-thirds of the windows were broken. FRANKFORT, SEPTEMBER 24. During the first weeks of the fair, nothing was heard but complaints of the bad tern of affairs. In the se cond week these •complaints ceased, and at present the fair is very good. What has contributed to this change are precisely the circumstances which ap peared to prejudice the sale of merchandize. They expected to see restrictions applied in other parts of Germany, and increase the Customs. The buyers coming from different parts of 'Germany, in which, although forming part of the association of Darm stadt, no Ordonnances have yet appeared as in Ba vaiia and Wirtemberg, and the Great Dukedom of Baden, against the importation of foreign merchan -clize, are in haste to 611 their stores before the prohi bition is given, which has favoured very much the sale of both French and English goods. , Sir York Papers anfited this morning to the 25th August. 'The Paper of the 22d August contains au account of the fire at s New York, which is far from being of that magnitude reported yesterday : FROM Txa NZW YORK GA.ZZIVE ON VIZ 220 MIGPIT. 41 Alvin eight o'clock last evening a fire broke out at the great depot of naval stores opposite the Coffee house Slip, on Long Island. In a few minutes several stores, and sheds filled with naval stores, &c. were in a vivid blase. The illnminition was sublimely grand, and on the city side attracted asi assemblage of thousands of spectators, who filled our wharfs and stores on the river side, and hundreds were seen on the hills in the rear of the flames. The wind was very light from the S.S.W. and the flames received but little aid which was not derived from the com bustibility of several thousand barrels of naval stores, which, like the lava of Mount Vesuvius, spread a most interesting sheet of fire over an extensive wharf to the river, and presenting a most splendid blaze to the surface of the water: The stores were princl-• pally owned by Mr. Henry Warning, and were rented by Captains Waite and Merry, who. had in stowage the property of numerous individuals. " Since the above was in type, we learn that the property destroyed includes Thomas Armstrong's porter-house and store-yard, Messrs.Vandever's porter house, J. Tuttle's dwelling-house, and the stores of Warning. It is supposed that the buildings contained about 1400 bales of cotton, and 12,000 barrels of naval stores. The naval stores may be estimated at about 24,000 dollars, and the cotton at about .56,000 dollars, making a loss (including the buildings) of about 100,0(X) dollars. The brick store of Messrs- Warning and Hemberly, full of cotton, is the only building which was not laid in ashes. It is not known how the fire originated, but it is presumed to be the work of an incendiary." Fevaa.—The following Notice has been issued Nzw Yeas, Au 0.23. " To MO PII.IIOIIDINT OF TIM BOA 111) OF MULTI& • The case of the Fever at the corner of Wall and New-street' having excited unusual apprehensions in the public mind, from the fast of the patients not having been in, or probably near, the infected district, I think it proper to state, that the disease, though attended with sane suspicious symptoms, has not yet exhibited any unequivocal evidence of malignity. ".1. D. BLISS." PROM THE MERCANTILE ADVERTISER Or AUGUST 23. The Board of Health at Baltimore has resolved that no vessel (craft excepted) from any port or place, particularly from New York, shall be permit ted to come into any dock to unload north of Cam den-street, until the 15th of October, without first being examined by a Commissioner of'Health. NORTH-WEST LAND EXPEDITION. MONTREAL, AUGUST 17. Through the politeness of a Gentleman who has just arrived in this city from a distant port in the North-west territory, we have received intelligence that the Expedition which was fitted out by direction of the Admiralty in the summer of 1819, under the orders of Lieutenant Franklin, was on its return to Hudson's Bay. The Expedition advanced as near to the Copper Mine River in the following year as the approaching winter would permit ; and in the spring of the last year, having embarked the canoes which they had carried overland with them, they descended that river until it discharged itself into the Hyper borean or Frozen Ocean. - The Expedition then proceeded in the execution of its ulterior object, namely, to explore the coast of the Polar Sea, from the mouth of the Copper Mine River round to Hudson's Bay. This, however, it would appear from the information we hive been able to collect, it could no further effect than by, surveying a few hundred miles of the coast to the northward and eastward, the winter having set in towards the end of August with such severity that it obliged the party to return. It does not appear fi om the arrange ment that was made, that land marks should be placed by either Captain Parry or Lieutenant ank lin when they should first arrive at certain-points a' they proceeded, that the former had reached so far as the party of the latter. Several deaths had occurred, among whom Mr Wood, nine Canadians, and one Esquimaur. It i; stated that, from the observations made in this expe dition, the mouth of the Copper Mine River differs by several degrees of latitude from that laid down by Hearn. The United States Papers do not contain much in telligence relative to South America. An article from Caraccas, dated August 1, states that it was the intention of General PAEZ to retire to Valencia during the rainy season. Accounts from Rio Janeiro to the 10th July, state that an expedition, consisting of two frigates, three sloops of war, and two gun brigs, had been fitted out at Rio, and were on the point of sailing against Bahiamhere General MADEIRA had 3,000 Portuguese troops. The Americans have revised and made great its provemenu in their Criminal Code. With the me lancholy conviction before their eyes, in the uniformly sanguinary instances of British justice, that the great frequency of capital punishment does not prove the most effectual or moral remedy against the commis- smimilm.0•0•••• *NAVE been received from Bahia to the ?f,th of July, by wheels it appear. that the expedition which railed from Lisbon early in Jelne, and which was re• ported in the advises brought by the last packet to have leached its destination safely, had not arrived at Babia 6y 'the date abovementioned. The expedi• tion from Rio de Janeiro, dispatched to the assist• ante of the party contending for independence, had also not arrived. General MADIRIA, the Mili:ary Governor at Bahia, had intelligence of the sailing of the expedition from Lisbon, and had in consequence equipped sit vessels of war, to cruise off the port of St. Salvador, in order to facilitate the entrance of the expedition from Portugal, in the event of its being at• tacked by the R ioJaneiro squadron. At Bahia, no event of importance had occurred, but the situation of affairs denoted the approach of an important crisis. The Go vernor was proceeding to strengthen himself in his po sitions, and to guard against surprize on the part of the inhabitants. The communication with the inte rior was wholly cut off, and all business suspended. It was greatly feared that the inhabitants of Bahia, in the difficulty of accomplishing by any other means the independence they desired,would emancipate and put arms into the hands of the black population—a measure that might be followed by the most dis astrous consequences to the province. It forms a striking feature of the contest for ascendency at Bahia between the Portuguese and the Brazilian interests, that while two armies, the subjects of the same Power, were on the point of encountering on shore, there were two fleets at sea, nearly equal in point of strength, in the same predicament. The squadron of the PaniClt REGENT is dispatched for the purpose of intercepting that fitted out by the Cortes and his father, the King of PORTUGAL ; and should the fleets come to an action, Brazil being nominally, at least, still under the domi nion of Portugal, they would actually engage under the same flag. The Duke and Duchess of CL A RENCF. are expected to arrive on Saturday or Sunday next at Bushy Park, from the Continent. The Dowager Marchioness of Loma°NoEnny hns left Sir WILLIAM JAMES'S seat in Wilts, for Bolder Wood Lodge, Hants. Sir FRANCIS BURDETT was in Exeter on Friday last, and viewed the antiquities and beauties of the Cathedral, with which he expressed himself much delighted, The Duke of MaNtata.tat arrived yesterday evening at the Clarendon Hotel, Bond-street, from his seat, Kimbolton Casee, Huntingdonshire. The Duchess of KENT, and the Princess her daugh ter, were present last week at the Isle of Thanet Races, and seemed much amused. On her Royal Highne s s arriving en the Course, she was waited upon by the Stewards, Sir E. KNATCHBULL and Mr. WA RRE, and her carriage placed near the winning-post. Thursday last, the tenantry of the Rev. Sir ABRA HAM ELTON, Bart. met his agent at Goodman's Hotel, the Hope and Anchor, Redcliff-hill, Bristol, where the agent expressed the determination of his worthy patron to make the abatement of his rents £4O per cent. when the tenantry cheerfully paid the amount of his demands. A Correspondent at Portsmouth says As'a proof of the estimation the new Marriage Act is held in tl:ii place, there has not been one mechanic, tradesman, or independent person, mariied there since its pass ing. The only persons that have consented to no dergo its fiery ordeal, are three sailors, two soldiers, and two marines." COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE.-.—LaSt night the Co medy of Speed the Plough was performed at this Theatre, when a Gentleman, named EVANS, from the Bath Theatre, made his first appearance before a London audience, in the - character of Farmer Ash field. The attempt was an arduous one; the merits of our regretted favourite EMERY in this, and other characters of the same cast, are too fresh in our re collection for us to avoid drawing comparisons, and his death has left a void which we fear will long re main unfilled. Mr. EVANS, as far as we could judge, under the disguise of stage costume and deception, is very young. His face and figure recalled to our mind poor TOKELRY. He appears to be thoroughly versed in the whole business of the Stage. In the se rious parts of the character he was very successful. The expression of shame for having attempted clan destinely to get possession of Young Handy's letter to his daughter—of fear lest he should be di.covered whilst attempting to open the box—and of satisFac don and self-gratulation at having resisted the temp tation to read the letter when in his possession—dis played much feeling, and called down loud applause. On the whole, though falling short of his predecessm-, the attempt may be deemed a successful one, and Iris reception favourable. W. FA trnEN played Sir uric! Handy, and gave a rich picture Of the scheming re jector, the fond father, and the hen.pecked husband. Mrs. DAVZNPORT played Dame Aslyiell with all her usual excellence. Her fears of Mrs. Grand', and !icy anticipated triumph over that formidable rival, were expressed with all her accustomed force and point; and her fair daughter, Susan, was prettily supported by Miss Focrra, the interesting languor of whom: features, occasioned by her recent indisposition, w.rs perfectly in unison with the char actor.—The even ing's entertainments closed with the Musical Farce of Rosina.

AUGSBURG, SEPTEMBRR S 4. The news from Semlin of the 12th of September bears, that Chourschid Pacha was at Larissa, assem bling new troops. He caused all the Bishops and Primates, whom he had taken away as hostages, to be brought to him, and told them they might go into the Morea as mediators, and might promise to the in habitants, in the name of the Sultan, great privileges, similar to those of the Servians, if they would volun tarily submit ; and he, moreover, told them the Greeks had no longer anything to hope from the Christian Powers. The Bishops set out on the 22d for Corinth, accom panied by an escort. The Greeks say there is a very different motive for this journey; they say that Chourschid only wants to treat for the ransom of the Beys taken by the Greeks during his march into the Morea. FUNDS AT PM" glirnadia 50. -.Flu per Cents. opened at 931. 10e. highest 93t. 110 e. clued at 93i. se. This forenoon we received German Papers to the 27th ult. An article from Constantinople in the Algenteine Zama:, dated the 26th August, states that 15 Tartars, as extraordinary couriers, had arrived from Thessaly, Epirus, Levidia, and the Morea, bringing favourable intelligence respecting the sup. pression of the insurrection, which is represented to be near at hand. It adds, that no less than five Pachas are advancing on the Morea, but does not state any specific victory, or even give the date of this favourable intelligence. Another article from the Maine states, that the re ports of the reverses of the Greeks have been con firmed by private letters from Ancona, written by Greeks residing there, to their friends in Germany. They however add, that they must not on that ac• count lose their courage, since it would by no means be right to infer from these facts that all is lost, but that, on the contrary, those who had experienced these revesses would be taught by them the whole some lesson, that nothing but unanimity, strict subordination, and obedience to the lawful Authori ties, can preserve them from the occurrence of similar misfoi tunes." The King of PRUSSIA arrived at Frankfort on the 25th ult. on his way to Carlsruhe. The following is the only extract from these Papers worth making s VIENNA, SEPTEMBER 19.
