Exchequer bid, Zs. to .ss. prem. ,Taday we received Paris Papers of Friday and Saturday last. : -.The Gazette Feeince contains a laboured but well-written article, to prove, shat, not withstanding any insinuations to the contrary, the utmost possible harmony prevails, between the three great public functionaries of France, viz. the King, the Chamber of Peers, and that of the Deputies.— The Journaar Debatt has also a temperate article on the subject of the best means of maintaining the tran quillity of Europe. We have selected - some articles from Spain, but they have been evidently over:charged : in passing throygh the hands of the Frendt Editors. No person ac Madrid or Burgos surely would be permitted to indulge in the ironical insinuations which are thrOwn out (perhaps at random) against the meabures'of the existing Spanish Government. We are glad to see it stated, that the great points under discussion at the Congress of Vienna, have been settled, ant that the result of their labours will speedily be laid before the public throughout Europe. Not a, word is now whispered of any interference with our Maritime Rights. The Americans at Ghent will probably, therefore, patch up a peace as quickly as they can, if they are clothed with powers to that effect—a circumstance which thosewho know the character of the faction in whose employment they are, will be scrupulous of believing. _ .• _ In the Chamber of Deputies the debate on the POVisions in favour of Emigrants, was continued on Thursday and Friday.— Oa Saturday they were to vote formally upon, them. PARIS, NOVEIVMER 5. The Pr i ncess of Wales arrived on the 20th of Oc tober at Parma, and continued her route for Bologna the same d.ty. Count Gottnrp (ti-devint Gustavus IV. of Sweden) is at present at Geneva. ' From Leghorn we learn, that the Dey of Tunis is dead. • The King of the Two Sicilies has set out for the Congress at Vienna, to demand in person the king dom of Naples. The King of Saxony continues to reside at Frede icksfekle, one league from Berlin. 'l'l:ere is a report at Vienna, that the Emperors Fr:mcis and Alexander are to proceed to Italy about tlic. end el November. IV . c are izformed by a public Journal, that Prince Eugene (Beauharnois) leads •a very reCred life at . Vienna, and that it dues not appear that he is likely to obtain any sovereign principality. The 4 , Chro nicle of the Congress at Vientragives the following ' explanation on this subject : 46 The public 'regards with much interest the ci-krant Viceroy I Italy ; he is considered as a valiant and Unfortunate Prince, whd has been constrained to fight in an unjust cause." • —lt is quite natural that his, Highness should not present himself at the public festivals, but it is never theless' highly probable that he will obtain a princi. polity in Germany. The vintage on both banks of the Rhine has been destroyed by the hasp. The vintage has been also • very unproductive in Hungary. At Buda and the • envieans the price of senses, and every thing else, is • very high. Two English smugglers were wrecked near Calais is le drelaiill gale in the night between the 31st Oc tober and the Ist November. VIENNA, OCTOBER 24. The Emperor of Austria set out this morning for Hungary ; the King of Prussia, accompanied by Princes William and Frederick, set out a little after . wards ; and the Emperor of Russia, accompanied by the grand Duchess of Oldenburgh, will soon follow. It is said that the plan of referring every thing regarding the affairs of Germany to a Commission composed of the Ministers of the (re Powers of Germany, experiences many obstacles. In fact these Powers are thereby made at once Judges and parties, since frequently complaints must be made against those very Powers, Besides, if they insist on a par ticular Committee for every thing which regards Ger many, this Committee will soon beiome general, for the great po itical interests will always end by attach, ing themselves to those countries. The fetes will be resumed when the Sovereigns return. It seems that the chief points to be discussed at the Congress are terminated. Prussia gets the greater part of Saxony, and the King of Saxony is to have a _rich Austria takes Lusatia. The Duke of S.lre WSinaar will get an increase of territory, sad it is said that this Prince will estahlisb his residen4e at Leipsie.. Auitria ccles Out at Gaillcia, which, with the llutityof Warsaw, will he united .to Poland Proper, Qa lite of Bavaria, Austria gets the Inverdlig and the countly of Sitlibourgb, ft is • added, that Prince Fry:', , :rieblOnarni'brotiter la* of Prussia, will be Vice-Roy of &awl; the Grand Duke Constanthla, Vice-roy er relandi Archduke Charles, Vice-roy of Italy. )3y r. an official note from Count Munster, the rmee Regent's Hanoverian Minister at Vienna, it appears that his Royal Highness has created his Electorate into a Kingdom. • TURIN, OCTOBER 24. The report gains ground, on the faith of letters from Vienna, that the frontiers established by the Treaty of the month of May, between Piedmont and France, will undergo some changes. They say that Austria, the better to secure her possessions in Italy, has signified her intention, that there shall be between Italy and France a Power absOlutely neutral. Con sequently she purposes to code the portion of Savoy which fell to the lot of France, with some of our dis tricts, to Switzerland. This line of polity does not appear to us to be in unison' with the inclinations of the inhabitants of Savoy. This country has always been very much attiched to France, and to the House of Bourbon.— The Savoyard: have from time immemorial gained a livelihood in France, where they have been always well treated, and have shewn their gratitude. It is said that indemnities will be proposed to the French indemnities in Flanders or Belgium. But it is not sufficient that these arrangements should be agree able to Austria : they must also meet the views or France. MADRID, OCTOBER 23. An extensive promotion has taken place in the naval service : eight Chefs d'Escadre are made Lieu tenant-Generals, and fourteen Brigadiers of the navy are made Chefs d'Escadre. • We are assured that the Regiment of Walloon Guards, and all the other Corps of foreigners in the pay of Spain, are to be reduced. This measure may at first sight flatter the national vanity, although it will deprive the army of a number of persons who have been distinguished in all the wars which we have sustained for upwards of a century. The Wal loon Guards have at all times given proofs of a rare fidelity to our Sovereigns ; but it should seem that in future we must depend upon ourselves only. 1 he King has permitted the Sub Lieutenant of A.r. tillery, Don Manuel Zacares, (who had deserted from the depot of Spanish prisoners of war at Nancy, in order to join a division of the advanced guard of the Rossian'General Platoff) to wear the decoration oi the iword of St. Anne of the 3d Class, which had been granted hint by the Emperor Alexander. His Majesty also permits this officer to bear the title of Nota3le of the City of Toul, in Lorraine, a title which was conferred on him by the inhabitants of that City, as a memorial of the services which he rendered when it was declared in a state of siege. The church preferment given to M. Blaize Qsta lazza produces 70000 francs per aruuruz s and ip one of the richest in Spain. The epidemy which rages at Gibraltar, has not reached Cadiz with any virulence : this city is now tranquil also in a political Fin; of view. We expect, with impatience, news from Americ t. The expeslitions intended for our colonies are not ready : every day difficulties increase from the want of money and the disaffection of the soldiery. BURGOS, OCTOBEit es. The intelligence which we receive here from Ma drid is not pleasant. Although the public trancriil lity has not been disturbed in that capital, yet the ri goorous measures which are constantly taking against all those who are designated as liberales, freemaront, afrencuador (frenchifled).excite fear and alarm. At Madrid the report gains ground that the Ha vannah had declared itself independent : that the troops in the garrison had made common cause with the insurgents, who had sent Deputies to London to demand the protection of the English Government. It is generally thought, however, that this report is false, and that it has only been spread by the Iriends of the Deputies of the Cortes, some of whom have retired to our Colonies, %here, most assuredly, they will not preach obedience to the present Government. They speak also of the approaching retreat of the Duke of San Carlos from the Ministry. Two divisions of troops who occupied Old Castile, have received orders to proceed towards Navarre and Aragon. We received a supply of Frankfort and Brussels Papers., by a Kaii 3 Ocia ;irrived from lio4an d this morning ; we hrienhbreceived an interesti4itivatel communication. —We subjoin the following.extteets : ITALY, OCTOBER Is. According to letters from Florence, there is a very constant exchange of couriers between the Isle of Elba and Vienna. They say that Napoleon gain in sists upon having the society of his wife, and on being himself entrusted with the education of his son. VIENNA, OCTOBER 22. The spirit that animates the Austrian Government is shewn in an Ordinance such a s no other German Government has yet given an example of : f{ The 18th October shall henceforward be cele brated as a holiday every hundred years in the Start.; of Ow Austrian Empire." Does not this great example of a State which has always been independent, deserve the imitation of those St.:tcs whtise independence wits effected by the ever-memorable battle of Leipsic ? The Sovereigns, our august visitors, have ez pre4fed to our Emperor how unwillingly they thought of their departure, wit;- . :11 is, however, very !leo, *se hand. Alexander has invited our Emperor, and the wing of Prussia, to Petersburgh, where they will meet in June. AUGSBURGH, OCTOBER 29. A letter from Paris, inserted in the Arau Gazette, relates- 0 A few days since a pamphlet was exposed to sale at the bookseller Bacols, in the Palais Royal, entitled 6 To the magnanimous confederated Princes assembled at the Congress at Vienna : a Discourse on the necessity of restoring to his M..jesty Ferdinand IV. the Kingdom of Sicily, unjustly occupied by a stran ger." The Editor, Neapolitan, of thename of Bap tiste de Roeca, thinks the Allied Powers, particularly France, should unite to expel King Joachim by force of arms, and reinstate the lawful Monarch. The Sovereigns, says he, cannot support an usurper who profanes the dignity of the throne. . It seems that a clamour is also raised against the Crown Prince of Sweden. It is affirmed that the Swedish Ambassador at Paris has loudly complained of an article directed against the Crown Prince in the' Journal des Debats. The Gazette de France and the Quotidienne frequently contain such articles against King Joachim and the Crown Prince. Wagers are laid that both these Princes will be deposed before the end of six months. BEILLIN.—Chr merchants who are come back from the fair at Leipzic say, that it turned out well, not indeed in general, but in regard to some articles, for which there was great demand, such as middling and fine cloths, which were particularly sought after by the Russian merchants. There were also many Turks and Greeks, which had not been tilt case for many years. _ _ . . Well informed persons affirm, that although the Swiss and Saxon printed calicoes surpass the Engl4 l .l in fineness, and in the tastefulness of the patterns, the English are, however, superior in the durability and excellence of the colours. Letters from the Rhine, which we however can ,, ,ot warrant as authentic, states, that opposite to the army of General Kleist, of 80,00 G men, a French ..r:ny of 120,000 is posted. They add, that the French pri soners who return from Russia, are, as soon as they arrive in those parts, incorporated with the army there assembled. GIiENT, NOVEMBER 11. PRIVATE LETTER. " it is very currently reported here that the nego tiations with America will speedily terminate in an amicable adjustment of all the misunderstandings which have arisen betwee,, the two countries. A car tel has been in attendance, at Ostend, for forty days, for the purpose carrying dispatches to America. — These dispatches were made up and given to the Cap tain several days ago ; bn: when he was on the eve of pntting►'to sea,•tle received counter orders, and-was ' desired to wait f,:r further dispatches, which are ex pected hourly by him." Intelligence is said to have been obtained in the City from America up to the Ist October. Debates, it seems, in Congress, are carried on with remarkable virulence by the different parties, and on a division respecting the war with this country, MADISON'S party were left upon one laccasion, in a trintrity of three. What may be the consequence is uncertain, but a change of Administration is the first thing looked fur. THE AR il7? (Ciecui.mt.) " Hume Guards, October in, 1814. " The Commander-In-Chie., in reference to tkc Orders rela tive to the Re-enlistment of Suniers whose period of service has expired, has directed it to be notified, that Officer, com- I manding regiments or depots, will be at liberty to Oise their dis cretion in re-enlisting such Non-commissiened Officers as they may consider it beneficial to the service to retain, alrhnugh, in point of age and height, they should not be strictly conformable to the regulations; ta king care, however, that the individuals so retained are in every respect efficient for service in the and well qualified for their respective stations.—By command of his Royal Highness the Commacder in Chief, (Signed) Han R v CA MISR r, Adjutant-General. The 44th Regiment, a company of British Artil lery, and a regiment of Germans, are stationed at Ostend. Yesterday his Royal Highness the PRINCE REGENT held a Court at Calton-House. His Royal High ness gave audiences to the Duke of YORK, General CALVERT, the Adjotant-General, and Mr. MANNERS SUTTON, the Judge. Advocate. • The latter laid before his Royal Highness the proceedings of sonv. , Crurts Martial, in which the late prow. e4ngs against Colo.' rid Quicyris were iLOIAIdO.... A Proclamation WaS aLt,reed upon to be issued for releasing the Marines who have served the limited time for which they entered into the service. Friday night, Mr. BUNTER, the King's Messenger, arrived at the Foreign Office, with dispatches from Viscount CASTLIREAGLI. Mr. HUNTER performed his journey with extraordinary speed. Although he stop ped at Stuteard and Paris, he came in five hours less than eight days and nights. • Sir GODFREY Wrassrrt, who was present at the Theatre dclla Scala, in Milan, on the night of the 4th of October, being the anniversary of the Emperor of AUSTRIA'S birthday, declares that not the slightest disturbance took place on that occasion ; but on the contrary, that the audience were extremely peaceable and quiet. Sir .I.scoe Ames-, Bart. has recently come into. pos4ecsion of all the Delaval estates in the North, by the death of the late L ncl, amounting to £17.000 per annum, and capable of an increase to that• £22,000. Not long since, this fortunate Baronet de ► , rived a legacy from another branch of that family to the time of £.c4,06000.

SECOND EDIT OPENING OF PARLIAM His Royal Hignness the PRINCE Rsosurr day in state to the House of Peers, an, present Scssion of Parliament with the fol gracious Speech from the Throne : " lily Lord:, and Gentlemen, " It is with deep regret that I am again ;$3 announce the continuance of his ' mented indisposition. It would have given me great satisfaction have been enabled to communicate to you the termi nation of the war between this country and the lln;ted States of America. " Although this war originated in the runt ut provoked aggression on the part of the Covermnent of the United States, and was calculated to promo the designs of the common enemy of Europe against the rights ,and independence of all otzcr nationsp I never have ceased to entertain a sincere desire to bring it to a conclusion on j ust and honourable terms. ~ " I am still engaged in negotiations for this purpose; The success of them most, however,.depend on.my disposition being met with such corresponding testi; ments on the pact of the cnerny. " The operations of his taajcity's forras land in the Chesapeake, in the course of the present year, have been attended with the most brilliant ar..i successful results. 16 The flotilla of the enemy in the Patuxent 1..;t. been destroyed. The signal defeat of their land forces enabled a detachment of his Majesty's army to take possession of the city . of Washington, and the spirit of enterprise which has characterized all the movements in that quarter, has produced on the in. habitants a deep and sensible impression of the eala. mities of a war in which they have been so wantonly involved. 4 , The expedition directed from Halifax to the Nor thern coast of the United States has terminated in a manner not less satisfactory. the successful course of this operation has been followed by the immediate submissian of the extensive' and important district east of the Penobscot river to his Majesty's arms. 66 In adverting to these events I am confident you will be disposed to render full justice to the valour and discipline which have distinguished his Majesty's land and sea forces, and you will regret with me the severe loss the country has sustained by the fall of the zailant commander of his Majesty's troops in the ad vance upon Baltimore. 4' I availed myself of the earliest opportunity af forded by the state of affairs in Europe, to detach a considerable military force to the river St. Lawrence, but its arrival could not possibly take place till an advanced rltiod of the campaign. . • 66 Notwithstanding the reverse which vile*: to have occurred on Lac Champlain, I entertain th,l most confident expectation, as well "rum the amount as from the description of the British torce now sell iog in Canada, that the as:endancy of his Majesty's arms throughout that part of Nurth America, will .be effectually established. 66 The opening of the Congress at Vienna has been retarded, from unavoidable cause;, to a later period than had been expected. It will be my ear. nest endeavour, in the negotiations which are now in progress, to promote such arrangements as may tsni to consolidate that peace, which, in conjunction with his Majesty's Allies, I have had the happiness .4 concluding; and to re-establish that just equilibrium . amongst the different Powers which will afford 6,e best prospect of permanent tranquillity to Europe. 64 Gattlemen ofthe Howe of Commons, 44 I have directed the estimates for the ensuing year to be laid betore you. 0 , I am happy to be able to inform you, art t,:e revenue and commerce of the United Kingdom are in the most flourishing condition. 1 .., 4 I regret the necessity of the lar;,- cspenditare '"which we must be prepared to meet in the ..tune of the ensuing year; but the circumstances uni.ns which the long and arduous contest in Europe has been car. ried on and concluded have unavoidably lcd to large arrears, for which you wil. see the necessity of pre viding ; and the war still subsisting wi h Amerce, renders the continuance of great ezertons and () sable. 44 My Lon/I,lnd Grsideniag, 44 The peculiar character -t the late war, as writ as the extraordinary length of its duration, nuts: .•• materially affected the intertiat squation (.t a:1 ti countries engaged in it, as w,•11 as the conatierc.l relations which formerly subsi,ted Irtwzen 44 Under these circumstance, 1 act conll. l .eat y , will see the expediency to proLeediag with due caution in the adoption of such re l olations as usli be necessary for the purpose of extending our trade land securing our present advantages : and you may rely on my cordial co-o;neation 411,1 assistance in every measure which is calculated to contribute to the prosperity and welfare of his Majesty's 4komaisli9as."
