It was, we are informed, the design of General ARMSTRONG to leave Paris before the usual time of the prevalence of the north-westerly winds; but his application for passports to fulfil his intention had, upon some 'pretence or other, been hitherto ineffectual. No American could quit the limits of Trance, unless he proceeded directly from thence to America ; and leave was not even granted to enable him to visit the dependencies of the Empire. In another column we have given extracts from Paris papers to the 3d inst. but the accounts brought It is not without good reason that numbers of young men (as mentioned in a former STAR) are quitting Holland and seeking refuge in this country. The master of a vessel which sailed from the Texel on Friday, states, that a Conscription, comprehending all young men from the age of fifteen to eighteen in. elusive, was ordered, by the French Commander-in- Chief, to be immediately levied. All the French pri vateers had quitted the Texel, and several vessels have lately arrived in that river without molestation. by the above cartel are from Paris to the stia and from Private letters from Buenos Ayres speak of some unpleasant cccurrences having taken place at Lima, with which we were before unacquainted.

The Emperor of AUSTRIA has effected an almost total change in his Cabinet Council. The alteration is said to afford great satisfaction. We are not suffi ciently acquainted with Austrian politics to decide upon the merit of this change. Some of the new Mi- alum are hardly known as statesmen. A Gentleman who came from Paris in the above cartel, states, that a rumour of another battle between the Turks and Russians was mentioned, and certain regulations were suggested regarding the foreign de yartment Holland, but nothing of any public in terest was adverted to. It is generally believed in France, that the meet ing of the Diet of Sweden _svas a fruitless ceremony, NAPOLEON having, it is said, declared that he should require the feeble hmumbent'of the throne to resign his sceptre, that the Crown might be placed i .1 the head of another who would be more disposed to pro mote the purposes of France. The name of this ad dendum to the Royal fraternity had not been an nounced. The Ktuo came to town yesterday from Windsor, escorted by a party of light horse.

The subject has been indirectly sub 'slued to the French Government, which has ex• pressed its readiness to sanction a commercial i..ter. course, by means of neutral flags, upon principles of reciprocity. Some regulations in this sprit, we are informed, have, within these few J iys, been pro. mulgated by the Prefect of the district of Ostend•—• Instead of compelling vessels to take One-half of their cargoes in wines or brandies, the new regulations di minish the quantity of these article; very considerably. As the British Government has pr ofess,-d an inclina. - tion oa its part to accede to the principle of this ar rangement, and there is no material di:P.-once in the terms, great hopes are entertained that it might be brought to bear. The conduct of the nerci otion, however, as we have already stated, is to be wholly left to the tnanagcmcnt ,of the Merchants. • To forward this important measure, a gentleman, who enjoys the confidence tithe newly appointed &bard of Commerce in France, and was selected by them for the purpose, we understandhas been some el.oys in town. He is authorised to communicate with our Board of Trade on the subject; but whether directly or through the channel of the merchants, who have taken the lead in this business, we are not informed. In the event of the intercourse taking place, it is understood that the tratie will be carried oil through the medium of neutral vessels, sailing under licences granted by either Government. Particular ports, among which are Ostend, Dunkirk, and Havre, are to be assigned for the reception of these vessels. BURGLARY. --Thomas Jones, alias Hugier, and /G. chard Francis, were indicted it r a burglary in the shop of Mr. Bennett, a silversmith and jeweller, in the market-place of Salisbury,and stealing therefrom gold and silver watches, rings, chains, seals, and other ar ticles of jewellery, to the amount of £lOOO and up. wards, as mentioned a few days since. It Appeared in evidence, that the house had been made fast, as usual, on Thursday eveni.:g, and at flue o'clock in the morning cf Friday, it w:ts discovered that a pannel had been taken out of the shutter of the shop-door, and that a pane of glass had been taken out, by which means an aperture was made, sufficient to have admitted either of the prisoners. There was also a pannel forced out of one of the slop shutters, and the two pannels were fastened in again with brads. It was proved that the two prisoners hailed Richardson, the driver of the Taunton coach, which was on its way to London, twenty-five miles horn Salisbury, at one o'clock in the morning ; they want. ed inside places, but they were accommodated on the roof. Richardson had heard of the robbery com mitted at Salisbury as he passed through, and he sus. pected the prisoners. They had with them a bag, and the coachman having communicated his suspi cions to Mr. Manning, a passenger, the latter took an opportunity to feel the bag, and he wa . s satisfied that it contained rings, watches, &c. The coachman was relieved previous to the arrival of the coac:i to B sing stoke, but Mr. Manning rode outside with the pri soners until the coach arrived at Egharn, when he caused them to be secured. On them were fop ad several of the stolen articles, which were; !entified by the prosecutor.
