:' FRENCH PAPERS, PARIS, NOVEMBER 21. Wednesday being the day appointed for the fune ral of her Royal' Highness the Princess Charlotte of Wales, the blinds of the boxes belonging to the Eng lish Embassy hi the different Theatres of the capital, were closed ; and it was remarked that no English. man appeared ether at the spectacles, or even on any of the promenades, which the fineness of the day caused to be otherwise much crowded. A letter from Marseilles apprises us,' that a Cap tain, who had sailed from Tunis at the beginning of September last, had learned from travellers, who had fled from Algiers, that there died in that town from l i seven to eight hundred persons daily. Precautions have been taken at Tunis to prevent the contagion fiotn communicating. Every thing is tranquil there, and commerce has resumed its activity. In the mean time, persons eorthy of credit, who are in correspon dence with some mercantile houses in that 'Own, assure us, that there exists a very great discontent against the reigning Bey. The conduct of his two sons excites indignation every where. Bassein, the elder, carries off wives and daughters, and shuts them ep ili s his own house, and dues nut release them until Niter having •gratified his passion. Mustapha, the younger, maltreats and brats, according to his ca . price, every person be meets, or who displeases him. The people murmur exceedingly, and apprehensions are entertained of a catastrophe similar to those that so frequently occur in Algiers. The following is the latest intelligence from Rliodez :•—" The Judge of Instruction has again in terrogated Madame Manson : she constantly denies having entered the kitchen cf Madame Bancal ; but she confesses having been in the passage leaeing to it. She was there, she says, in consequence of an ap pointment upon isuitsers. Hardly had she entered, when, being seized by some unknown person, she was dragged to the Annonciade. This unknown person having tetired, she came nut again, and met, in the square of the city, the individual with whOm shi,had an appointment, but whose name she will never disclose, because it is certain, notwithstanding his innocence, he would be suspected as an accom plice in the assassination." Tbs. Jut/real if:lasi:Rs gives the following extract from the indictment against Frederic, the German, who is accused of having murdered- Mr. Phillips. ' " Phillips, a fruit merchant of London, had, for several years, employed as an agent at Dieppe the above-named Frederic Freihangen ; Phillips landed at Calais towards the latter end of last September, with money for his commercial transactions, and had appointed Frederic Freihangen to meet him at the hotel of the 'fete-de-Eccuf, at Abbeville, on the 7th October. There they met accordingly, and set off • together the same day, between seven and eight o'clock in tile evening, to go to Dieppe. They tra veiled in a cabriolet, drawn by one horse, with which Freihangen Lad come from Dieppe to Abbeville.— Arrived a little be) and the village et Miauny, they , alighted, and it was there that Freiliangen, having 1 armed himselt with some large dints that were lying about, struck Phillips on the Lead, and traettsred his skull. lie then dragged the body into the fields, about fitly paces from the road-side, and tided it 01 mosey and a watch. This double crime being thus pet petratcd, he remounted the cabriolet, and arrived f at the town of Eu, about two o'clock in the morning, I shire he alighted at the inn of Sieur -Downy. The next day, between seven and eight o'clock, he order. ed some water to be brought him to wash his hands, still dyed with blond, and to cleanse some parts of his clothes which wen: also bloody. Not having suffi cient water to wash his riding coat, he went into a neighbouring park, and washed it in the water. On Friday, the lush of October, Freihangen was arrest • ed, while returning to Abbeville. They found upon Lis person a sum amounting to about 157 francs, SLUMS all in gold, a watch, and some papers. Them were many spots of blued in the interior of the Ca. briolet ; they found also three gloves, all bloody, one of which belonged to Freihangen, and two to Phillips. Since his arrest, the accused has endeavoured to de stroy himself, by inflicting, with a razor, three large wounds, or* upon his throat, and two upon his left arm. In consequence of these facts, the Prettiest Court has declared itself competent, as there are sufficient grounds of suspicion against Freihangen, of homicide voluntarily committed, followed by rob bery, in a public place." A harvest of extraordinary abundance had grati fied the wishes of the inhabitants of the Mores, and the plastic had at length ceased its ravages, . When a new misfortune came to desolate it. Oa the 23d of ' August. about eiglit o'clock in the morning, there was heard near Vostissa a loud detonation similar to a discharge of artillery ; it was followed almost im meal/0y by a violent agitation of the earth, which Misted about a minute and a halt. At the came time the sea retired to a considerable distance, leaving the vessels dry that were in the harbour. It then return ed with fury, ruse fifteen feet above its ordinary level, ard covered with.ite waver an extent of land o, al-, • most a hundred feet. It then resumed its accustom ed situation. But the Cape, which formed a part of ti•e sarLour of Vostissa, and ass at the mouth of a river named Gaidon.roup Meeti, after baying cast "up a very thick srnthe, seek into the sea, which at that point was very deep. The town; which contained tit.n) houses, and some public buildings, a mosque, and several churches, was almost entirely destroyed, and sixty five of the inhabitants perished in the mina. Tile villages of Mourla, Dimitropoulo, Loumari, and Muesli, near Vostisse, were alsO destroyed. During eight clays shocks less violent, but very frequent, sue ereded this earthquake. There is still seen, half a league from Vostissa, a great space of earth cowed wit yellowish water, and deeply farrowed.

'National Seminaries have been formed at Cape Henry, Port de Pal:, Sans Souci, and Gonaives, which contained 420 scholars, and the first of which has furnished monitors to all the rest. Another school is about to be opened at St. Mare's, and a new school-room is erecting at Sans Snuci, to contain 1000 scholars Besides these national schools, where instruction is gratuitous, and which are wholly founded and maintained by King Henry, the town of Cape Henry is filled with small elementary school:: for the poorer classes, nho cannot as yet be all ac commodated in the national schools, where the chil dren are taught, at a very moderate rate, to read, write, and cipher. Indeed all the inhabitants are obliged, under a penalty, to send their children to school as soon as they attain a sufficient age. One of the scholars in the national school at Cape Henry. a son of Baron Ferrier, has formed a little elementary school at his father's house, , vhere a room has been allotted to him, in which he instructs several of his young companions in the intervals between school' hours. At the national school-room at Cape Hcnry, Divine Service is performed according to the forms of the Church of England every Sunday morning. by Mr. Gulliver, the teacher, or eno of the strangers resident at the Cape. The congregation of boys is respectable. The strangers occasionally attend, especially the Ladies of the family of ar. American Merchant, who are. in general, very regular. A Chaplain of the Church of 'England would be a very desirable acquisition." - • -- - THE EVENING STAR. LONDON. TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 1817. 3 HE FUNDS.

Letters from St: Thomas's, dated October 10, have been received this morning, which state the arrival of a great number of French officers there, is order to join the Sou►h American Patriots. A vessel had also arrived from France, loaded with arms and am munition of every kind ; as well as several ships from England, full of officers, embarked in the same cause. The letters further state, that all the accounts which have appeared in this country relative to the success of the Patriots, are perfectly correct, and that there was no doubt but that the Independence of the Co• lonics would soon be fully established. Saturday summonses were issued for the assemb bling of a Cabinet Council yesterday, which tnok place at two o'clock, at the Foreign Office.

" A political event has just occurred here, which, perhaps, may make some noise in the world, and 1 I have thought that a short account of it might be ac teptable to ycu, and you may depend on its anthem ticity It appears that some jealousies have existed for some time past between the K— and the P— of o—, and that the latter has a decided eversion (as well as his Sposa ) to the Hague, to which place the Court lately removed for a year s last week the K— made Ms re-entry here unexpectedly, and various rumours were circulated is consequence of this visit (a 1 int/traits), among others that the ',— had been placed in arrest, &c. &c. He certainly did not snake his appearance in public for some days; be that a; it may, the K— tonic his departure for Holland on the 17th, in the middle of the night. It now comes out, that this Royal fracas has been occa sioned by sonic manceuvres of the Count GrAtz, (the under Minister of War) who had acted contrary to the intentions of the P---, in transporting a certain number of Officer! whim H. R. H. had recommen ded, in his capacity of Commmsder in Chief, to be taken from the half pay, and placed on home service. An appeal was made thereon to ;he K—, who, it seems. supports his Minister, and the P— has ir consevence resigned all his military appointments; and on the 18th, (the Anniversary of the Q —'s Birth) assumed the dress of a licurgivirlll Last night he appeared at the Sytertarle in this reffinar, and was received by a crowded hawse with great acclamations, particularly by the military, who tornaed a large part of the audience! It is rather singular, that atter hav ing been Present at a funeral sermon preached at the Eqglish Chapel on Wednesday, on a late melancholy event, he threw off his sable dress, and now appears in a blue coat! The P—ss has also assumed colours in her morning earrarise. The former assisted at a concert of amateurs (Boar:reit) on Thursday, and seemed in high spirits, in tripping on the light fantastic toe.' ...- H. R. H. is extremely popular here, as is the Grand D—ss, whose manners are very mild and amiable. I She has been indisposed during the last week; but 'yesterday again made her appearance in the Park, with her beautiful little boy, who is universally ad mired and caressed. It is given out, that the P-- declared to the K.-- ) he never would again servel las long as the Count G. remained hi Office.—' H. R. H. was Chief Minister of War and Common ['der in Chief, the emoluments of which were 40,000 Rains per annum. He is very popular, especially with the Army. It seems now doubtful if be, will winter at the Hague, though it is generally bail - that he sets out for that place in a few days. • • 44 All the English here are in deep mourning, and deeper affliction, for the sad and melancholy event of the death of our amiable Princess.—Adieu I" DRURrLANE THEATRE. In consequence of the sudden indisposition of Mr. Kctw, the part of Richa•d the Third, in which he was announced to appear last night, was undertaken at a short notice by Mr. MAlivooD—a notice so very short indeed, as to preclude him from the advantage even of a rehearsal. The communication of this sub stitution was made, in the name of the Manager, by Mr. WALLACX, and received by the audience in a manner highly encouraging to the Gentleman who had ventured on this hazardous act of accommoda tion for the benefit and amusement. To presume to criticise with any degree of strictness a performance attempted under such disadvantages, would be un generous ; but generally, we may venture to affirm, that in point of just conception, and of powerful re presentation, it was a performance which did infinite credi! to the talents of Mr. MAYWOOD, and 'such as in every respect to confirm the confidence we have before expressed of his soon vindicating to himself a place in the highest walks of his profession. His present instance of theatrical couraee we hail a itit peculiar pleasure, as it offers something like a pledge that he will conquer that timidity which has, in truth, been hitherto his greatest foe. The Play was through out extremely well received by the audience—al though attempts were not wanting, particularly after half-price had commenced, to mar the performance. The intentions of the liheral-minded Gentlemtn who exerted themselves for this generous purpose, had un forunattly for them much to contend with in the Roost sense, good taste, and good feeling cf the au dience, and the result of all their efforts was only to provoke a more triumphant ncinifestation of the general approval of the audience. COVE..N I' CiRDLN. Last night Ream mod Juliet was performed, in which Miss O'NEILL played Juliet with her usual and well-known ability. Mr. CHARLES liciaete deserves considerable commendation fur his representation of Home.. if there were any fault in his acting, it was that lie was somewhat wanting in tenderness, and in the expression of the passion of love. The Play is altogether beautifully got up. Some improvements have been made in the grand central gas-light lustre. The removal of the gas chandeliers from the front of the dress boles is not objectionable; but the dull ground glass lamps, or lanterns. that have been sub stituted, have a heavy and sombre effect. The Duke of Sussex returned to town on Friday, from Windsor. On Saturday morning, his ROYAL Him sess left Kensington Palace for Tnnbridge Wells. The exterior of the New Military Club house is nearly completed : it is to be opened with a grand dinner, on St. George's Day, which in future is to be kepr as the anniversary of the Prune It WENT'S birth. This is in imitation of the usage of the Continent, where the Birth-day of the reigning Monarch is al ways celebrated according to the place which his name Saint occupies in the Calendar. The galls of the new gaol, building at Bristol have, it is said, (owing, doubtless, to some mistake) been seized by the Custom-house officers of that port, for the duty on the stones, which were conveyed by water from the Black Rock, Hotwells The Work which we this day announce, . 1 Peaks( Cogeneration: on the Afair: of Frames mad 114," is attributed, we understand, to M.

The following is an extract of a letter from Genoa, respecting the Polish Officer PIONTOWSKY, who fol lowed BONAPARTE to St. Helena, but lately left bins and returned to Europe The faithful CNA nuts PIONTOWSEY was, on the morning of the SOth of October, conducted by the Sardinian gendarmes into use Lazaretto of Genoa, and on the Yal of November carried from there to a tower near Genoa. On land ing at Gibraltar, it appears this unfortunate Officer had waited ten days fur an occasion to go to Leghorn, and at length finding no vessel going there but a Sar simian, he went before the Sardinian Consul, and made an agreement with the Captain, that although the vessel was in the ° first instance bound to Genoa, with passengers, he, Proarrowsav, was not to land or be landed in any part of his Sardinian Majesty's dominions. Notwithstanding this engagement, sanc tioned by the Consul, :tad which afforded proof that ProNvowsxv had no intention to trespass on the ter ritory of the King of SARDINIA, 011014Vakaaldati a itaultorl . frGne Lord CASTLERFAatI, atahlWiNial Iris depar ture for Maly, he was seized in tbrnight of the vessel's arrival at Genoa, all his papers and effects were to ken possession of, and he now, as before stated,is pining in a dungeon, for having been guilty of the virtue of attachment to his benefactor." A letter from Ceylon, dated June 18, says : " The Native Schools have now become very numerous, and for a few cents per month, without the expense of books or stationery, the boys can learn to read most fluently on the ola leaf ; and with astonishing rapi dity they learn a kind of short-hand, so that they will take down a whole sermon, without missing scarcely a word. Little boys, about ten years old, write as fast as they can move their pen. So far we can as sert, that one Spanish dollar will support a boy of ten years of age with food and clothing one month. Females never learn even to write, as it would be thought a disgrace for them even to learn to read." EA IiTILQUAKE.—On Sunday morning week, exactly three minutes past eleven o'clock, a slight shock. of an earthquake, which was accompanied by a hollow subterraceons sound, was perceptibly felt by numbers of persons in the different places of worship. The same alarming sensation was experienced in Dent, on the banks of Windermere, as well as at Coniston ; and it is to be hoped that the concussion w as con fi ne d to narrow limits, because we have not been able to trace the pro;ress.of it to any other places than those' already mentioned.

The manner in which Wednesday, the burial day of the PRINCESS CHARLOTTE, WAS observed, • strongly displayed the intensity t.f the public feennt'• Business, both public and private, was susprnde , !; the shops were closed ; every person appeAr , cl in mourning. 'rho whole City wore the livery rat set. row. The Churches were open, and in most of them a service suitabk to the occasion was perfumed. — The effect produced by this universal expression of sorrow was more powerful, as it was. wholly %cm neous. No intimation of a wish to that effect was given by the Constituted Authorities. In conformity with this determination, it Was in* tended that the Castle Chap I should not be nper,ed for the public pertoimance of Divine Service en day. On the preceding evening, his Exceliency the Lord Lieutenant intimated his intention el l'e4tv Prayers there in private, attended only by tl;nt , c immediately about his person ; but, notwitlistArdisg the care taken to prevent publicity, such was tine gc• neral anxiety to testily their condolence, that long he• tort the usual hour for opening the Chapel Gates numbers had collected in all the avenues to it, a"= - before the commencement of the Service, the inter 1. was crowded to excess. The appearance it e::lebi" was peculiarly affecting.
