The Paris Papers of Sunday arrived this morning. The King of Prtirs.tA left Paris, as expected, on .Saturday morning. The Duke of Renato, who had the honour of receiving . his Mansvx on his entrance into France, has been also commissioned to attend • him on his return to the frontiers. - On the day before the Duke of WzrAtteoron's de parture from Paris, he had a long confesenie. at his fittel with the Duke of RICUELIIV ) the Austrian, PrussiAn, and Russian Ambassadors. Nothing of the result has transpired ; but there can be no doubt ii:at the Army of Occupation has been the subject of deliberation, since the Duke of Wacussoross could not be the Representative of England or have any political chaiacter at such a meeting, except as Ge neralissimo of that army. That some decision has been to upon the intended amount of the Allied Forces during the ensuing year, we think highly prob Able. The French Ministers would of course press for a decision in time to aireet thfir "choice of measures to be proposed to the Councils, and no fairet opportunity could certainly occur of acceding to their desire, than, when two such ruling personages in Coalition as the King of Paussm and Duke of ;Wt.: mummy, were at Paris. Whatever the decision : is, we should conjecture it to be of a nature which has kit the French Ministers in no difficulty on the *object; for we observe. that within a few hours • after the King of Faust's!' departure on Saturday, a meeting of the two Committees of the Council of State. intrusted with the Departments of the Interior !and of War; was specially convened by the Keeper of the Seals, for the purpose, no doubt, of commu nicating the result of this Ministerial conference, and digesting the measures consequent upon it. It may be considered as in some degree strengthen ing the probability of a reduction in the Army of Occupation, that no pOssible means appears to be spored on the part of the French Go - velment, to Saleciliate the good-will and attachment of its own military —that imiirary, the dread of whichip alone 'the cause of a foreign force being retained in the -ewustry. The Journals received this day, mention Iwo acts of this description, which can scarcely fail to have a strong effect on the minds of the French soldiery. Marshal Iltsvousr, Prince of Eckmuhl, has been presented to the Sato, and, k Is said, will shortly receive a Marshal's baton : and Ge seal Discus, who was condemned for his cod- duct. during the second usurpation, to death, bet teoeived a commutation of his sentence into ten years imprisonment, and has since been confined is the citadel of Besancon, has now received a full par don. and been restored to liberty and to his cottony. The two soldier:, Desbsus and Chayoax, who have been condemned for a conspiracy against the lives of the Princes, have appealed against the judgment, The Repairer who was directed to communicate the sentence to the prisoners, went to the Abbey, for that purpose between two and three of the morning. /Albans was in bed and in a sound sleep. It re. sittired some efforts to rouse him sad make him go dorcito'the gaoler's offir.e, where the sentence was to lie read. *During and after the reading of it, be pre served all his original boldness. 64 Deith," be re.

The differences which have kubsisted between the Turks and Russians are likely to be soon composed; and a negotiation of great importance is spoken of as being on foot at Constantinople, for engaging the Porte to suffer the free navigation of the Dardanelles to ships paying a moderate toll. This permission,' if ,granted by the Turkish Government, will not, we trust, be confined to Russian vesst Is. The commercial nations of Europe, in general, ought to have deeply at heart an object so important to the universal interest of the trading world; and Turkey must surely be alive to the ad vantage of encouraging by all fair means s commer i • cial i n tercourse, of which her position mast necessa rily place the key in her own hands. The Emperor ALaXANDER is on the eve of quittirig Petersburgb for the long period of eighteen months. His Imperial Majesty will pass his winter between the two capitals of Moscow and Warsaw ; after which he proposes to inspect or traverse the southern pro vinces of his immense dominion. French Funds. August 30, 68 1. 45 c. HAMPURGH MAIL. By the Mail of this morning we have received ac-- counts from St. Petersburgh, Vienna, Berlin. West phalia, and other places, from which we shall select the more prominent articles. The system of drawing upon futurity for the re lief of present exigencies is becoming every - obi,' mere general among the Governments of the world.. and will, one day or other, produce mighty consequences. If. States cannot find their resources within the year; it must be owing to,one of two causes .I—either they are pursuing objects from which they ought to de. silt, being beyond their means—or some unfair ten derness is excercised towards those whose income should furnish the expenditure which is either in• curred for the benefit or for the protection of their property, or ought not to be incurred at all. The Russian loan yields the subscribers about in per cent. for their money. Religious persecution, under the pretest of sup. pressing fanaticism, has not yet ceased on the Con. tinent :—we are always slow to believe the chauel; exhibited in the foreign journals against sectarians, for when one side alone is allowed the right of public statement; there can never be a want of charges. The secular festival of the Reformation, which is about to be celebrated on the Continent excites con• siderable interest. The appellations of Prokstasst and Losfuror, are in future to be dimped in the Prussiai dominions. It is recommended to the Clergy to employ in their sermons and writings the terms Evairfical Ciarch—Evaaideal atistiesu," sad to speak with tenderness of" their sionvirairgelital irethree." ' Will this answer the end intended by Rulers f We very much doubt it. Sooner or later they will •id that the recognkion of any sect or sects whatetet tli‘6 l matter by what dime they may be designated), as, entitled to greatey favours or proteejion from** State than others, alWays brings with it a certain poe tion of political evil. If they wish to put an end to all religious feuds arnong their subjects, let them treat them all with equal inspartiality, and know them only as civil 'members of the community. • T. PETFRSSURGH, AUGUST Is. Large sums continue to be subscribed to the new loan. It yields seven and a half per cent. interest, because, fur a hundred rubles. which the subscribers pay, they receive an inscription for 120, which bear six per cent. interest. The billets which are given to the subscribers are signed by Count Lumbest, as President, and Mr. Nicolay Stieglite, as Director. VIENNA, AUGUST if. A few days ago there was discovered, some leagues from this place, a sect of the nature of the adherents Of Poeschel. These sectaries met in the neighbour- hood of Wiedling, on an eminence in the forest, where there has bees for many years a small image of the Virgin Mary upon an old oak. The bead of this sect is said to be a Countess. Their exalted fancy led them to consider this place as their church, and they . wanted to compel the clergyman of the neigh bouring village of Suffering, to read mass there ; and upon, his refusal the Countess is said to have threat ened to do it herself, if be would not agree to it. —The Government has been informed in time, by ,_the Clergy of the surraboding villages, of they dim.. den, so that by the employment of energetic . matte,, sures, this unspond excrescence has also been de- Strayed hi thaleginning. f Tbe Doke de Sao Carlos, hitherto Spanish Atubas- Atador at this Court, set out yesterday for his new destination at the Court of London. His successor, Don Pe4ro Cavallos, is not expected in less than a month, during which time the Secretary of Legatiea, de Los Rios, is Charge d'Aff.ires. • WESTPHALIA, AUGUST as. 1 The Minden Sunday Paper contains a remarkable 1 circular letter to the Evangelic Clergy of both Con fessions in the Prussian Monarchy, on occasion of the intended celebration of the seeular•festival of the Re formation, in which there is the following passage : “ The representation of the occasion, and the object of the Reformation, will afford the Clergy ample materials for edifying reflections and discourses, cal culated to aficet the thinds of their hearers, without their being tempted to give their sermons a ten dency hostile to their Noo•Evangclie brethren.—H The spirit of truth which animated the Reformers, and in whose energy they began and accomplished the great teprk, is also a spirit of peace and of lure•' The fruits of this spirit, according to the exhortatoll of the Apostles, should •be kir:Nines:, justice, and truth. Only on account of the few Clergymen who might perhaps forget this, it must be mentioned, that Sermons to be delivered on the festival of the Refor mation, ought to avoid every expression of bitterness or contempt towards the adherents of another mode of belief, as it would be wholly incompatible with the dignity of the Evangelical Church, and would likewise be directly opposed to the expressly declared will of his Majesty the King, it being his desire that the pure representation of the spirit of the Reforma tion, without any mixture of unfriendly expressions towards other Confessions, be the general theme or. which the Clergy in his Mejesty's dominions shall uniformly preach, upon the prescribed choice of texts. • " The Ministry farther observe, that the name of Pride:lash significant as it was at the time of its in troduction, though it is more adapted to indicate the defence made at that time of the external rights of the Evangelical Princes and States in the concerns of Religion and Church Government, than the pecu liar spirit and meaning of the Evangelic Church, yet even this last sense occasions various misconceptions, and has in fact been here and there misemployed in this manner in these latter times. " It seems therefore advisable, on more accounts than one, to leave these denominations, Protettant, Prokttani Chinch, to history, to which they belong, and henceforward universal* to rooky in their stead, especially to religious writings and discourses, the more proper and more generally intelligible terms, Allays& Church, Ilwastgefic Christian. Luther him. self disapproved of all party names : he remonstrates in his writings against the professors of the Evangelic Faith calling themselves after his name Lutheran, and refers them to die sole foundation of the Chris tian Faith, the doctrine of CHRIST—the Evangelist.. In the celebration of the approaching high festival if the Church, may the spirit of their DIVING Maslen repose on all faithful labourers in the vineyard of the LORD, and crown their endeavours with success! " The MiSiotry of die Interior, (Signed) u V. oil UCKIIANII." a Berlin, luxe 10, 1117." According to this official declaration, the names, Protestant and Lutheran, will for the future be disused in the Prussian dominions. WARSAW. AUGUST IS. A few days ago a great storm, accompanied with thunder, rain, and hail, caused dreadful devastations At Kishe and the environs, over an extent of country five German miles long and 1 broad—thirty villages in particular have buffered. In some parts of Gal. lieia the hail has wounded a great number of cattle , killed birds, &c. SOUTH AMERICA.. " LWOW /ROM AWILL4. +Our latest advice: from that place are of the ilUth inst. In consequence of expected reinforcements not having arrived, General McGregor still remains on the Island, placing it in a posture of defence that will warrant its security against any contingency which may hereafter happen. The complete apparatus for a printing establishment has been received, and a newspaper is about to be issued. The General is likewise seaboubly engaged .in organizing the Executive and Judiciary Depart. menu, and enforcing salutary regulations for the preservation of good order throughout the territories occupied by his troops. - ca The Provincialists. residing on what may be considered the boundary line between the Spaniards and Independents, appear somewhat apprehensive that their property may sustain injury from the con flicts of the contending parties $ and. as might have been reason* expected, are anxious to be relieved from their apprebenstons, by being taken under the. protection of the United States; of which event they believe the present expedition to be the precursor. In other respects, the people of the Province, with very o f., exceptions, are apparently contented, as the new Authorities have abstained from persecutions of every kind, and have maintained a religious regard for the rights of every individual within their jurisdiction. No man's property has been seized, as had been falsely] l'etated, since the arrival of the Patriots. The only, negroes who have been confiscated under the existing Government, were captured in a slave ship in the, l'hiwbour of Fernandina. Neither is the report of se- Hiiehl Officers having abandoned the expedition enti ded to credit. Every one remains firm in his allegiance to the cause of liberty, and the whole army, with the exception of three or four dean. dons, (occurrences to be looked for and which will happen in every military enterprise) remain faithful and determined to complete the undertaking in which they have embarked. So far is the expedi tion from having already arrived at it: acme, that we are warranted in saying, ample reinforcements and supplies are now on their way, and that Ahe reduc tion of the Floridas is inevitable, unless Spain should render it unnecessary, by seedily relinquishing her cliims to them in favour or the United States."— (Savannah .Retualolican, July 24.) The contagious fever continues to spread desola tion through Ireland. Originating in filth, want. and confinement, it tagea with greatest fury in gaols and circuit towns. Mr. Wm.

On this subject an Evening Paper has given the following statement The opinion of his Royal Highness the Commander-in Chief, on certain receat applications for leave of absence by several British Officers, hasgiven rise to a very great misconception lon the part of a number of Officers on half-pay. In the instances to which we allude, leave of absence !or a considerable time from the country, was requested by a number of Officers on halipay ; the answer to which, as we understand, was, that a leave of absence for three year: would be given to any Officer on half pay, but only to the Contsnent of Europe, the West Indies, or North America. The silence which was &served in this answer with regard to South America (none having directly solicited for leuve to go thither). was the cause of the general mistake—th it his Royal Highness had not dirtaly prohibited any Officers from going thither and joining the Independent Standard. This mistake is now rectified. An Officer, a Captain of Engineers, made application. a short time back, at the Office of the Commander in Chief, for leave to join the South American Army for a limited time. The answer contained—what we hope oil; set this question with respec' to our Officers at rest —nrt only a direct refusal, bnz also an expression cf his Royil Highness the Cuairnander in Chief's extreme sur prize and slispleascie that any British Officer should have made such a proposal; and an intimation, that should much a request be repeated, the individual would do it at his own peril." We adJ, that his Koval. Hionnwts.could not with propriety give any other kind of answer to such an application. What I ask the Comnlantles.k.Chief to give direct permission to British alicets to join in arms the subjects of an ally fighting against the pa rent Government ! How. is the name of common sense, could his ROYAL HIGHNESS grant such a per mission ? His answer was most correct—" Those who embark in such an enterprise must do it at their own peril. They must not ask the Government or its public officers to become parties in the transaction." This appears to us to be plainly all that was meant by the answer of the Commander in Chief. la one Word, those who choose to go to South America must Dot declare their intention ; !or by doing sn they ten. der it almost imper /titre on his Royal Highness to issue his prohibition quo ad the individual who makes the application. Yesterday about a quarter pan four o'clock the Panics litrormv and General BoULTON left Carlton House for Windsor, and dined with her MAJESTY. Yesterday the Loup CHANCELLOR and Count Mulll• TER had audiencts of the PRINCE REGENT, at Calton House. . Lord AMHERST has duly delivered to the PRINCE Ritcr.wr the letter from BONAPARTE to his Royal Highness, of which his Lordship was the bearer (rout St. Helena. The Palace REGENT has wholly abandoned the in tention of going on a cruize in his splendid yacht ; it will return to Woolwich, and be laid up in ordinary. The equinoctial gales having so early set in with greet violence on the coast, is one reason why hit Royal Highness declines encountering sea tisk. It was the Marquis of Araotzszy who strongly recommended the building of the Vessels his Lordship is passion. ately fond of the water.
