The follow ing are extracts : PARIS, JULY The Princes are to spend someday, during this week at Compeigne. The Duke of Wellington, we are assured, was to set out irons Cambray yesterday for Belgium. A piece brought out at the Varian, in which there is the pleasant caricature of A merchant's clerk with • mustachios, has proved that the ridicule was felt by more persons thin were, perhaps, at first imagined. The clerks of certain warehouses thought they recog. nised themselves in this character. They, therefore, determined to skew that their mustachios were not the only thing military about them, and, that they were no the men who would pocket such an insult. A plan of campaign was consequently agreed upon. teal the Theatre of the rarider was to be taken by storm. But will it be believed, that their operations _were to be directed chie . flyagainst Brunet ? Their vengeance was to fall utk i that respectable performer, who, both as manager old actor, had doubly offend ed them. On Sunday the attack was to have been tuade. Gendarmes were,hbireter, placed insufficient number in the Theatre, and every precaution was taken. The number of gallant youths who had en gaged in this exhibition amounted to there or four hundrei ; and the appearance of C'alirot was the signal f. , r nimencing hostilities. Cries of fury were sent forth from Ole pit; the occhestra was scaleJ,l and the stage attacked; but the gendarmes did their duty al' II till'ir ..ccustomed coolness, and succeeded, withouteffission of blood, to repulse the assailants, a dozen or two of whom were made prisoners. The discussion respecting the finances of Prussia, which took place at Berlin, in the Council a State, has ended without any satisfactory result. It is on sieratoodihat the majority of that Assembly intend to request tbat tl e King will convoke the Represen tative Assemblies of the different Prussian Provinces, in order to lay the new budget before them. The, Italian Papers state, that the Queen of Etru ria is preparing to take pouession of the Principality of Lucca. PARIS. JULY 30. A great multitude was again drawn last night to the Pa►kes, and the Boulevard of Montmartre was quite covered with persons whom curiosity had hi ought thither. Such were the measures taken, however, to preierve order, that none of the audience attempted to ruse any dis e tgrissncei; the represent*. tint of the Coslmo du illoahszuss passed off vtry peaceably*, and she gcietrohith this pleasantry e 4. cited met with no interrbilgon from the apposition: patty. The grand review, which ought to have been held en the day of St. Henry, the patron of the Royal Older ot the Legion of Honour, but which a sor rowful circumstance bad caused to be postponed, took place yisterday. It was one of the most bril liant Spectacles we have seen for a long time. The crowd which it attracted was immense, and 04 wea ther delightful. _ _ _ About the end of last month six wolves made an irruption into the Commune of Lesturi, in the De pt:talent of Arriege, and attacked several indivi. dash. of whom seven have been wounded, one in dangerously tbat his life is despaired of. Aud iA dif.

PETERSBURGH, rCLY 1. The nuptials of the Grand Duke Nicholas with the Princess Charlotte of Prussia, were celebrated this day in the Chapel of the Palace.' After the cere mony n Deana was sung, which . was followeJ with Duntine salvmm fat Imperworem, accompanied by a idillie of S I guns. A grand dinner was afterwards served up in the Great Marble Hall, to which the three first classes of the State were invited. During dinner, the com pany were entertained with all sorts of vocal and in strumental music, and the four following toasts were given to the sound of trumpets and of cymbals— •' His Maje•ry the King of Prussia," announced by a salute of ,5l gu is. The Grand Duke Nicholas and his august &ide. a The Imperial Family."— ' 4 The Clergy, and all faithful subjects." The three Lost toasts were announced by a salute of 31 guns each.—At night there was a Court Ball in the Great Hall of Saint George. The bells of all the churches were rung during the day, and at night the fortress and every part of the capital were ollun:inated. French Funds, '29th July, 6sf. 60c. Our Readers have already been informed that a negociation has been for ante time going on for the removal of another fifth of the Army of Occupation from France. England and Russia incline to the proposal; but some of the Allies, (Prussia aid Aus tria, it is believed,) object to it. By private letters from Paris, we learn that 'the boon held out to Eng land (and probably to Russia also) is a Commercial Treaty, which shall 'give a reciprocal spur to the en terpr3se and industry of the two countries. No such Treaty can be entered upon by France, consistently with her honour, while the Allied Armies occupy her soil ; and, according to the same authority, the King has given this pledge to all parties at home. Most joyfully will every sincere friend to his country, on both sides of the Channel, hail the era of this Com - mercial Treaty. There is, nevertheless, something suspicious in the postponement on the past of the French Governmen t of the commencement of Negociations ; and in the mean time they are getting deeper and deeper into oar debt: Whether their pecuniary embarrassments are real or pretended, it is not for us to say; but certain it is, that they were two months behind in paying the last dividends on their Funds—a circum stance which has been publicly known within these few days only. In short, there is the usual veil of intrigue and mysticism thrown over all their entree. ments ; and we have no reason to expect any thing else than a repetition of the same crooked policy which has o often made and unmade France. Intricate discussions occupy at this .moment the Cabinets of London, St. Petersburgh, and Madrid. Report says, that FIRDINAND has demanded oar ac tive assistance, by a marine force, to put an end to the depredations of the Insurgent privateers, and also to afford the means of an armament for bringing back the revoked Provinces of South America to subjection; that intermediation is mere trifling, and that it is now. to, late for neutrality—that the Reve lation is so far advanced, that, without active aid in AV:, men, and money, the whole.of-South America must be lost to the Mother Country—aand that Spain cannot contemplate this nil without looking else where for assistance, if denied it by England. Sbe is offered it by the Emperor ALEXAADER, upon con ditions, with which FERDINAND says he must comply; and the ?Luxus Rrarwr must not therefore be sur prised if he shall learn that the two Californias and Niinurca will be ceded to Russia in full sovereignty, ill return for the aid in ships, seamer, and troops, to reduce the Insurgent Americans. Such is the rumour in circulation ; and the many Councils lately held, as well as the 'conferences with the Ministers of those Powers, and the remonstrances made by the Spanish Ambassador against the late embarkation of officers, arms, and ammunition, ultimately destined folfiouth America, though nominally fitted out for Wig fa• dian ports, give strong-countenance to the antrib; We have received Bahama Gazettes to the Ist of June. They contain a most singular article, chargirg some person or persons, residing at New Providence, with committing a daring and unpardonable forgery. with the view, it seems, of bringing the House of As sembly into disrepute, with his Majesty's Ministers.— We stated, some months since, it will be recollected. that the King's Officers, Civil and Military, of the Ba hamas, had taken great offence at the House of As sembly, for their conduct respecting the Slave Regis itht t ~tip.. We stated also, that the s ubj ec t h a d un d er . g -this consideration of Ministers, and it now ti peals that the impression made uppn them by the 'd :iiineats transmitted was highly unfavourabl e to . ifisuse of Assembly. We most be here allowed to remark, that we have no other evidence of the forgery thus charged against some nameless indivi duals, than the assertion of the Bahama Casette; and our frith in that assertion is not strengthened by the scurrilous and intemperate language with which ail Gazette bespatters the *HATO cffenders.. After calling tl•em " infamous •illains," &c. se:'. I rat times, he informs his readrrsthat--" lie thi► pre tended copy were two clauses in relation to the free blacks An.; people of colour, the particulars of which we forbear to mention, their tenor !sting as odious as their tendency is alarming ; but we owe it to ow Legi.•!ainr: to say, that no such clauses were in Any part of the Bi:I in question, or in any of the stages of its progtess." Tire Paper then states, alit as inhabitants of a B& iris!) colony, they call for justice, and for the im mediate exposure of the" daring wretches^ who have iOren the fabricators of the forgery. We extra& part t of the elegant language used on the occasion. s When so m4try felonious robbers of the colonial repuiatinn are suffered to perpetrate their villanies in day kileSS and security, in the very bosom of our set tlement, conjecture is almost at a loss there in par ticular to Is a suspicion of the origin of the present guilty attempt." Our Readers will see front the above extract. that much ill will still prevails in the Bahamas. and that the late Clouse of Assembly (fur it was long since dissolved) I.as not been animated by the most chari table spirit in their intercourse with his Majesty's Officers. By the latest accounts from China. some recent information has been received respecting Cochin china, where, it seems, much discontent prevails among t►,e people, occasioned by the KING having nominated for his successor a son of one of his•concn bines. The EhiPaltOß of Com. who pretends to have a right to interfere in the appointment of the Kqlgs of that country, has expressed I is displeasure at the nomination. The King of CoonNcualis expressed a great dislike to the Roman Catholic Mistaking this for Christianity, be has declared his wish that in future Paganism alone shall be tole rated in his dominions.

A letter from New York, dated July 2, says— For these many years we have not known so fine a season : from all parts of this, and Essex county, there is abundant crops of wheat, rye, oats, &c. It is computed that the quantity of wheat and rye, now on the g'ouad, is two or three times greater than it was ever known."
