DUTCH PAPERS. PARIS, DECEMBER so. The English papers are filled with accounts of the festivals given to the Persian Ambassador, who, however he is styled, is neither more or less thatt an officer of the household of the Governor of Ispahan. His name is Mahomed Hussein and he is not in vested with any public character? He was merely sent to England by the Governor on account of some commercial relations which he entertains with respect to the English East-India Company. Mr. Adair, however, received him in Constantinople as a man of vast importance, and in London he met with distinc tion for which he must himself be at a loss to ac count. The day before yesterday the Legislative Body held an extraordinary sitting, when the projet of a Senatus Consultum came under consideration, by which it is intended to prolong the present session to the 31st of December. M. Ottn, French Minister at the Court of Bavaria, has received his appointment as French Ambassador at Vienna, and is already making the necessary ar rangements for his departure to the Austrian capital. ROTTERDAM, JAN. 4. Letters from Hamburgh of tle 26th of last month state, that all goods which are dispatched frum Ton ningen must be furnished with certificates of origin. The Paris letter, of the 31st December, contains no news of any description. BGTSEN, DECEMBER 12. The publican Hofer is still alive, and keeps him self concealed in the valley of Passeyr. He has de signedly caused the rumour of his death to be circulated to save his life : he was obliged to publish the proclamation, by which he calls the Tyrolians to arms again. His most faithful accomplices forced him to this step with daggers and clubs. This is usually the fate of those who attempt to acts° perilous a part. Our fertile fine country, on the Adige, resembles, in many places, La Vendee. General Baraguay d'Hilliers has, in other respects, given strict orders to his soldiers so use rigour only where clemency finds no admission. His spouse, formerly Countess of Hardenberg, born at Vienna, is also here. The French keep the whole high road between this place and Inspruck strongly occupied, and it is now quite covered with waggons with goods. Single travellers may pass on without danger. INSPRUCK, DEC. 14. By official advices, says our Gazette, order and tranquility are entirely restored to the distetts of Blixen and Botzen, after the banditti, who had for some time rendered the roads unsafe had suffered a total defeat. Many of these hordes, abandoned by their Chiefs, and detested by their own country men, now come to crave the clemency of the military Commanders. Those Chiefs of the Insurgents, who escaped with the outcast of all nations, went to the Pfasterthal, but here they were again defeated near Sonnenburg ; and there is no doubt but they will fall into the handset the troops who pursue them. A reward of .2QO florins is offered for the appre hension of Haser and Moos, who try again to kindle the fire of rebellion. The Prince Bishop of Brixen has published a pastoral ktter to restore and maintain order and tranquillity'. DEC. 20.—The Northern Tyrol is now covered with snow six feet deep, so that it is impossible for any one to remain on the mountains. The banditti who had taken refuge in them, are obliged to come down into the valleys, where they are taken up by the French troops and conveyed to the depots. Public tranquillity is re-established; the Public Functionaries return to resume their office ; and the troops behave with great moderatto►i towards the inhabitants. ST. PETERSBURC;H, DEC. 2. RUSSIANFRONTIERS, DEC. 10. By an Ukase of the '29th OctOber, the prohibition of the expo i cation of corn from the ports of the Bal tic and the White Sea, is withdrawn, and corn may be exported at certain fixed taxes. The rumour that his Excellency the Chancellor of the Empire, Count Romanzow, will again make a journey to Paris, needs further confirmation. VIENNA, DECEMBER ls. (FROM THE COURT GAZETTE.) The followint! publication has appeared here : cs With grief I see the stand of the circulation of the bank notes on the Exchange of Vienna. Indeed, the influx of copper money, since the conclusion of the peace, and the great and sudden circumstances of the tirzes, could not but add much'to this stand ; but there it not less a certainty, that the extravagant anxiety of some, :13 well as the love of lucre of a few, has, in a great measure, occasioned the d'spropor tioned diminution of its value. The soul of the credit of the State is the confi dence of the Nation in its strength. This confidence in the Austrian Monarchy is firmly founded on the multitude of the mortgages of State, free from all burdens on the fertility of this soil, or the riches of its natural products, on the flourishing state of its indus try, which, notwithstanding so many years war, has uncommonly risen, and still continues to rise. 41 The question now is, the nature of the choice of means to revive the credit of the State . ; the fixing of those, as well as the firm foundation of the finances, is the chief end of my most strenuous efforts; but it ;s clear that this choice requires time, since not all measures, but only serviceable ones, are to be taken. My nations know that forcible measures, which' perate destructively on private property, are foreign o me, and that it is my most solicitous wish to unite the general good with individual prosperity. I depend that my subjects will not listen to the insinuation of fear and distrust, and will really bring forth the dangers which they only fear by an incon siderable application of paper money, which would be immediately ruinous to them ; in order to procure heavier value ; but that they build strongly on my efforts and the resources of the country, and thus wait the pet iod of amelioration with firmness. 44 Only to efforts indispensably necessary, and not exceeding their strength, I shall summon my sub jects ;—confidence in the Government—active cc operation in the measures proposed by the latter.— After mature deliberation, these qualities, which my faithful people have always proved, will surely bring on that period.

Both armies fought principally with the sword, and the fortune of the day was decided by the coming up of Muctar Pacha, in the critical moment, with his Albanian cavalry. The Russians, after the battle, retired to their in trenched: camp before Silistria.—Two days before, the garrison had made a sally, and killed about 1000 men of the besiegers. On the Bth of November the Porte received from the Grand Vizier a more circumstantial account of a general action which took place between the two ar mies, in which the Russians suffered a defeat, and were obliged entirely to evacuate the right bank of the Danube, that is to say, with their infantry, which passed that river at Hirsora, while the cavalry, which covered the retreat, had no other way, as the Turks had taken down the bridge, but the road to Baba dag, and to pass the Danube near Uatschien. This cavalry was, however, elosely pursued by the Turks, who at the time the dispatches of the Grand Vizier came away, had already taken many prisoners. TRIESTE, DEC. 28. All the letters received here from Turkey mention a great battle which was fought towards the end of the preceding month, near Silistria, between the Rus sian army under the command of Prince Bagration,' and the Turkish army under Jussuf Pacha, the Grand Vizier. The result of this engagement is not yet known, but it appears certain, that uncommon bra very and firmness were displayed on both sides, and that both armies sustained a very considerable loss. announced, Majesty's in tention gas, that Neutrals might trade freely with Fiance, and France with Neutral countries: that the abeve-mentioned decrees had been pointed against the commerce of England only; and that if they have been misinterpreted and a false meaning given is them, the merchants should make representations which would be favourably heard. it already appears to be agreed, that the visit at sea, a measure of policy adopted by ill nations, is not a violation of neutral rights, and that the decree of Milan was intended only to prevent the visit di. rected by the Orders of Council of November 1807 ; by which Neutrals were obliged to go to England, and there pay a tribute. It is also understood, that the embargo and provi sional - sequestration of American vessels in France, were in consequence of the embargo law of America, followed by the Non-intercourse Act; that we there fore considered the Americans, who came into our ports, as disguised Englishmen ; and that since America has repealed her laws, ours shall fall of themselves. The Merchants flatter themselves front these com munications, and from the news lately received, that America was not disposed to yield to England, that the political relations between the two countries, for the establishment of perfect harmony. will become active ; and - as it seems that both nations have a well pronounced intent in their success, they will probably agree on some provisional basis, and per mit trade to resume its relations, reserving the ul terior discussion on the great question of maritime rights. tranquittity is re-escao,ns:: return to resume their o with great moderatton t • ST.

From the accounts which we have received from the Voralberg, it appears, that the inhabitants of that dis trict conduct themselves extremely well ; and that they are in all respects equally submissive and peace able as the inhabitants of those parts of the kingdom in which no disturbances had taken place. The only troops in the Voralberg are Bavarians, and they are so distributed as to render them as little burdensome as possible to the country. There is still - a scare y of grain, which the Bavarian Government is taking measups to relieve. A considerable supply is now forwarding from the Bavarian possessions in Suabia. Airthe former Magistrates have resumed their func tions. Count Von Reissach, Provisional Commis. sary of the Circle of Hiller, of which the Voralberg forms a part, has taken a tour through the different parishes, to collect materials for a detailed report to his Majesty upon the state of that country, which has experienced most signal proofs of his Majesty's clemency. Botzen, it should be observed, had the great feli city of maintaining a sort of neutrality during the late disturbances, and of thereby escaping those hor rid scenes to which the other parts of the Tyrol were exposed.

It is certain that the Insurgents had taken 1 possession of Seringapatam, where they established their head-quarters, and began to provide and orga nize the means of resistance. The dissatisfaction, however, is said to be principally confined to the Eu ropean O ffi cers in the native regiments, the men tak ing no further part in the insurrection than what arises from their obedience to the orders ofthose from whom they were accustomed to receive command. It is therefore hoped the vigorous measures adopted by die Government will provide an expeditious and effectual remedy for the evil. Thirteen thousand of the King's troops, besides several Sepoy regiments, were march ing against the insurgents, and expected to be joined by a considerable force from Ceylon.
