His Most Christian Majesty having learnt with n treme pain, that certain Articles in the Constitutional Charter which he bas granted to his people have ap peared to his Holiness contrary to the laws of the Church, and to the religious opinions which his Ma jesty has never ceased to Profess—penetrated with re gret at such an interpretation of his views, and desi rous of dissipating all doubts upon this subject—be pas charged the undersigned to explain his intentions to his Holiness ; and to avow, in his name, with those feelings which belong to the eldest Son of the Church, that, after having declared the Catbitic, • Apostblic, end Roman religion to be tin religion of the State, he has confirmed to all those of his subjects profes: siog other persuasions, which be found established in France, the free exercise of their religion, and has, consequently, guaranteed it to them by the Charter snd by the Oath,which his Majesty has taken. But this oath cattle no wise impugn either the dogmas or the laws of the Church ; the undersigned being au thorised to declare, that it relatesoolp to the civil order. --aSoch is the engagement which the King has entered into, and which he is bound to maintain.

There never was such a Settling Day in the Stock Exchange as yesterday proved to be. The Bolls, who had made heavy pur chases in the hope of a rise, which the Market of Monday and Tuesday fully warranted, were obstinate to the last, and would not sell until the lateness of the hour compelled them. At this time they could and but few pot-chasers, as those who bad sold Stock, and who writ anxious to deliver it on settling the account, gave (as usual in Fueh cases) orders to several Brokers I to sell ►t out publicly from the Commissioners' box ; and we arc informed that at leau £300,000 was disposed of In this way. This produced such distress, that the price, fur Money. was 80 whilst for Friday they were buyers at 80i : the account can hardly be said to be wholly settled yet.—Prices this morning, for Mosey, were 1101, and for October Account, 81. The Paris Papers of Sunday arrived last night, and in cur preceding columns we have given some eatracts from them. • fie most important +rude in these Papers, is the Official Circular, which we have quoted at length, of the Spanish Minister of War, classifying the favourers and supporters of revolotion in America, and regulating the mode of proceeding against such of them as may chance to fall into Royalist hands.— It breathes, we regret to say, a most ferocious and exterminating spirit. Eight classes of criminals, as they are called, are designated to be punished capi. tally, and repeated injunctions are given to execute the punishment with the utmost promptness. ..a% It is truly painful to contemplate the consequences of so sanguinary a Manifesto ; the Patriot* will doubtless in their own defence, resort to some similar act of retaliation, and what must then be the charac- ter of horror and desperation which this unhappy contest will assume! Humanity sbuddess at the pro. spect. Nothing, we apprehend, could be so likely as this Proclamation to draw forth some generous and powerful European Sovereign from his neutrality, and induce him to interfere is the name of humanity in behalf of a Christian population thus doomed, though we trust impotently doomed, to indiscrimi nate butchery. It is in fact a war of extermination, and therefore at variance with all the laws of natiosts. The Princess Royal of PORTUGAL. our Readers will observe, has at length embarked at Leghorn on board the Portuguese squadron for Rio Janeiro. French Funds, 23d August, 68 fr. 45 e. The Paris Papers of a day later than the preceding have arrived this forenoon. The 25th being the day of the Fete of St. Louis, the journals are almost wholly occupied with fulsome details of its solemaisation. Lu Z ERNS, another of the new Cardinals, received on Sunday his asp, from the KING. The Count de RIMPAI (King of Payssta) dined on 'Sunday with the Duke de Ricatectsy, and after wards attended a concert at the Duke D'Aussowr's, at which the Duke of Wzu.snteron, the Ministers of Russia, Prussia, and Austria, were also present. The Doke de'GavolowT. Captain in the Garde; des Corps, is said to have received the appointment of Grand Equerry to the Kum. The negotiations between the KING of FIANCE and the Pore have terminated in a new Concordat to regulate the affairs of the Gallican Church, of which we have given a translation in another column.. By this Convention a suitable provision is to be made by the French Government for the different Roman Sees, &c.—not in lands, however, as some of our contemporaries have translated the document, but in State Annuities (ea renta tar ?Etat) as far as circum stances will permit. It is avowed to be the intention of the parties to restore the Religion in France to isr ancient sitlesidour—that is, as such language ever im ports, to revive all the mummeries of superstition and ignorance. To call such an undertaking the re establishment of Religion is to employ a misnomer. They may thus give a national establishment to irrc lizion, but they will not thereby add to the perma nence of the State : on the contrary, its fall will ke accelerated by daubing it with this untempered mor tar. A State, to secure the affections of its childrtn, ought to have no favouritta of any description what cvis. It ought to protect all of them alike ; no ' should the whole be burthened for the soppott of any particular sect. Where there are old establishments it would be difficult to return to the first dictates of justice and sound policy; but where exclusive sys tems have once been subverted, no wise Government will re-establish them; its best security in such cir cumstances would arise from giving equal privileges to all ; for all would then have an equal interest in 1 supporting the State.—We have yet seen nothing, since the return of the Bovnaots, which, in our oj,inion, gives stronger indications of the precarious foundation on which the present French Government rests, than this attempt to bolster it up by the breath of the hierarchy. Governments require better sup ports now a-days. GIBRALTAR. EXTRACT or A LETTER, DATED ACCUST 7. (g We have to notify the opening of the commu nication this day with Spain by land. The Satellite brig of war, Captain MURRAY, arrived last night horn Tads and Algiers. No news has yet trans pired b) her. The garrison remains very healthy— never was more so." PERNAMBUCO-MARTINEZ. The Joirsal Gassral of Paris gives the following Anecdote concerning the trial of Martinez, the leader o. the Pernambuccan Insurrection, from a private letter which it states to have been received from Rio Janeiro : " Martinez has undergone repeated interrogations. At one of the examinations to which he was subjected the President d •sanded of him, from what motive he had arrogated to himself the title of Prince of Li &►ty ? when Martinez answered, 4 I exacted nothing from the people ; they wish to be free and they will be so. I could not permit myself an inconsistency equal to that by which you unite the word of Prince with that of Liberty. If my pretended friends of Rio and Bahia had kept their word as I have kept mine, yen, Gentlemen of the Commission, would have been acting before me, the part which has now fallen to my lot. You ask for my accomplices ;—examine, look among yourselves, and perhaps man? of my judges will quit their seats to place themselves at the bar of •.he accused.' " AMERICAN PAPERS. We have received Charlestown Papers to the 20th. and New.Yorb to the 27th ult. from which the fol lowing are extracts : NEW-YORK, JULY 24. We have seen several letters from St. Mary's and Amelia Islands, receive d by yesterday's Mail, which confirm the verbal accounts received here a few days since, from the same quarter, that the prospects of the Patriots were by no means so Battering as wire first rept eented. Had M'Gregor pushed for St. Augustine immediately on his landing at Amelia, while the Spaniards were pAnic.struck and flying be fore him, he might perhaps have gained possession of that fortress t but he his lost that opportunity by ' delay. His followers are becoming dissatisfied, while the inhabitants of Florida are taking the alarm at the misconduct of his outposts, and the Planters are petitioniog the Officers of the American Government on the frontier, for permission to bring their negroes into our territory for safety. IrtTRACT OF ♦ LETTER. DATED 11112WANDINA, JULY 12. is I cannot form any opinion as to the future ope. rations of the Patriots: they are at present limited to the Island. I fear they will fail in their laudable scheme. They have no force. Every thing favoured their occupation and march to St. Augustine. The Dons were panic-struck. There is at present a rest leuness among the people under their flag. Some outtages have been committed by their out-parties. There was a sale here to-day of thirty-one slaves, seized four days ago: they were seized, tried, con. demned. and sold in that time. These proceedings injured the cause, and should they not receive large reinforcements, I fear they will have to abandon the place.. The esti:sequences of such an event are much. to be dreaded." NEW YORK, JULY 25. In addition to the news given in yesterday's Ga.' tette, we learn, by the Ellen Tooker, from the Gulf of Mexico, that the Patriot General Tetrand, with about 2000 men, bad gone over to the Royaliits, having previously been assured of the King's pardon; that General Guadaloupe, with about 300 men, was within 100 miles of La Vera Cruz, hemmed in by .the Royalists ; that General Mina's head-quarters. were at Santa Masine, which place he had fortified, and left a garrison of about 80 men, and proceeded against St. Lewis Petosa. His communication on the sea coast was cut off by the Royalists. An army of about 5000 men was marching against him from La Vera Cruz, and his situation was considered perilous.

Further particulars, from 711 e Ceylon Government Gamette, of the loss of the boat of the iiIIIGEVM frigate : " It is our painful duty to communicate to the public an account of the most lamentable accident that has ever within our remembrance happened at Colombo. On Monday the 27th, about eight o'clock in the evening, a cutter from the IriIwI.NIA frigate was upset at a little distance from the Ztburgh bat tery. There were on board Lieutenant SAUN9ERI of the IPHIGENIA t Mr. %Tn.:won, a Midshipman, eight seamen, and a boy, with Lieutenant Fons Ten of his Majesty's 2d Ceylon, and 'Ensigns CAMPBELL, HAS wait.. and COAN6 4 of the 73c1 regiment. L:?utenant FORSTER, the Midshipman, and six wail...a, were saved; but Lieutenant SAUNDERS, all the 01:ee Or .cers of the 73d, two seamen. and the b y, et,iforta stately perished. The night was char, and the moon shone bright; but the wind was blowing fresh, and {he sea was running high. There does act appear to have been the least reason to attribute this calamitous event to t.ny fault whatever of the Con-minding C ger or the boat's crew it was a mi,fortene that could Amither be foreseen aor prevented ; a great sea brcke over the boat's quarter, and she was insta lit!) , filled and turned keel upwards.
