At length the woman voluntarily confessed that she bad !wallowed the toad to excite public curiosity and get iconey. She was taken up, and sentenced to im prisonment, but the punishment was afterwards mo dified, and she was sent to a mad-house. To-morrow the Sovereigns are engaged to a hunt ing pa t ty, which his Royal Highness Duke Albert, of Saxe Teschen, will give at his estate of Althurn, on the frontiers of Austria and Hungary. . This Prince is daily expecting a stud of fifty English and Persian horses, of the best breeds, for the purchase of which his agent has received unlimited powers. It has been officially notified, that Mr. Stratford Canning, the English Plenipotentiary for the Swiss Cantons, and the Russian Colonel, Baron Crosaro, have arrived here. NEW FRENCH TARIFF. CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES. The following are the most interesting articles in the New Tariff presented by the Committee, and founded on the principle , that goods importe d : by French ships should be subjected to a less duty than those imported in foreign bottoms : Coffee from the French Colonies, imported by French • yevsels, per metrical iplintal 60 fronts.

The prohibition of reffned sugar was advised, on the ground that it was necessary-to give every encourage ment to home manufactures. The duty of 120 francs per quintal, proposed by the projet of the law, ap peared to the Committee to be insufficient. . SO cents. 8$ • 2 francs. • 3 EVENING STAR..

To the extracts which we gave yesterday, exclu s?rely, from the Canadian Papers, we can this day add but little.

No new tifAir had taken Vice .on the Lakes; but Sir James Tao had been reinforced, and had sailed from Kingston with the whole of his fleet, including the 102-gun ship lately launched; and as CHAUNCEY was known to have left sackett's Harbour some time before, no doubt Was entertained of a rencontre taking place, from which the most complete success was anticipated, as Yso was greatly superior in force. It was also reported that General IzAnn had landed 3000 men in the rear of General DatnamoNo." The new ship alluded to above is called the ST. LAURENCE. She is a remarkably fine vessel, built in his Majesty's Dock-yard at Kingston, and was hunched on the 25th of September. CHAUNCEY, who for some time has been very cautious, will be more -so, now that Sir James Yrs has been reinforced.— The ST. LAURENCE, shnuld she come in contact with the enemy's vessels, will be able to blow them out of the water. Izaan's troops would therefore have no alternative but to march by land ; and it is very pos. sible that they may have proceeded to reinforce the enemy on the Niagara frontier. As the winter sets in very early in Canada, It seems probable that but little more will be at tempted on either side during the present campaign. —ln the mean title, Government continues extremely active in every department to hasten the equipment of a mighty and overwhelming force, which will have reached the scene of action before the spring, and it may be hoped will bring the contest to a speedy issue, should the American Commissioners in the mean time persist in refusing reasonable terms of pacification. We have received Paris Papers of the 13th. Their contents are not so remarkable as those of private ±etters which we have seen of the same date : these, •ee are sorry to learn, repeat the intelligence to which we have already with pain alluded, of the personal safety of our immortal Hero, the Duke of WELLING. roar, being in danger. At a recent review several balls fired from the ranks whizzed around his Grace and the Duc de Bents, who were in front with their respective suites. An enquiry was privately set on foot into this most atrocious affair, and the conse quence was, that Osumi Dvrona and four Officers were arrested within a few days. Subsequently, up. wards of thirty more, accused of participation in the same crimes, wert arrested. For the sake of huma nity, and the repose of Europe, we trust that prompt and signal punishment will be inflicted on the guilty. —it is diet, hi iiiirey to the tin Or Mankind, the mild and benevolent Louts should unsheath the sword of justice, and cut short all intermission to the tranquillity of his country, which the continued exis tence of such diabolical wretches must interpose. No amnesty—no pardon, can cleanse some foul malig nant spirits from that " perilous stuff" which they imbibed under the regime of BONAPARTE ; and sorry we are to add, that this vile disposition to restore the reign of terror is not confined to those who are covered with the blood and dirt (falsely ycleped glory) of his destructive and worse than unprofitable campaigns : many miserable authors, booksellers, and printers, partaking of a fellow-feeling with those illegiti mate abortions in point of intellect and morals, who call themselves soldiers, have incurred the penal ties of the law for publications tending to recal to power the scourge of his fellow creatures. The latter have been most wisely, but perhaps too leniently, punished by imprisonment. Not a few of our Readers will probably be of opinion, that some brand of in famy ought to be inflicted on their persons. It is fitting that the admirers of such a monster as BONA PARTE should bear about them some prominent token of their zeal and attachment, if it were only as a beacon by which such of their fellow men as wish Au die the dpatik-eg_iwure a , *sox itosy„.* Itlfafo assassination ! EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM PARIS, DATED NOV. 10. " It will appear extraordinary to you, that no decided steps have yet been taken to settle the claims of Englishmen on the Government or individuals of this country; but your Ministry have restored the Islands, without any reference, as we suppose, to the Duke of Wellington, who, though equally great in the ca binet as in the field, is left to contend with the unprincipled Ad. mialstrators of the late Government, without an equivalent to offer, and he is thus deprived of perhaps the only means of deal ing with such people. Most of the members of the Bourbon Family have lived too long in England not to be aware of the value of credit and honour in an their transactions. If it is true that your Government have paid one million to Sweden for the right of restoring the Island of Guadaloupe to the French, it ag gravates the hardship of the case,and heightens the ingratitude of France. In short, her conduct on this occasion, with some arbi trary proceedings in the Minister of Finance, in reducing the in terest of money, has lowered their funds considerably, and a con tinuance of this plan must ultimately involve them in ruin." EXTRACT OF ANOTHER LETTER, DATED NOVs 12: is I have just heard that the Courts of the Thuille ries of Madrid, and of Palermo, comprising the three branches of the House of Bourbon, have delivered to the Congress a solemn protest against the settlement of the Crown of Naples on Murat; as likewise against the intended annexation of Saxony to. Prussia ; of Po land to the Russiaeempire, under a nominal King; and of the Belgic provinces to Holland, or Holland to them. The professed object of this commu nication is to bring back Europe to the literal state in which she stood previously to the year 1792; without it being recollected, that the spirit of the Treaty of Paris was so -mstore P.Lumitgsuoll Ap rarrangement of territory, as should secure - the most perfect attainable balance of power ; and that to leave a number of feeble States open either to the arms or intrigues of an ambitious and preponderating oeigibour, would be a sacrifice of the spirit to the letter of the Treaty—a sacrifice of the end to the means. Connected with this intelligence, which, though it comes from a respectable quarter, I give you rather as matter of probability than of fact, is a rumour—the former part of which is not very pro bable, that M. Talleyrand returned two days ago to Paris ; and it is further apprehended by the public here, that he has been foiled by the union and steadi ness of the Allied Courts, in the principal purposes of his mission." It is now precisely one year since the Counter-Re volution, which ended in the emancipation of the whole Continent, broke out in Holland. It was hardly then to have been hoped that in twelve short months so much should have been effected—" 0 that men would praise Goo for his goodness !" The Coronation of the KING of FRANCE, it is now said, will not take place till next May. Yesterday morning a deputation, consisting of se veral Members of the Committee of the Magdalen, with the Chaplain, Mr. PRINCE, waited upon the Earl of LIVERPOOL, at Fife-House, to constitute his Lord ship a Vice-President of the Charity, in the room of the late Earl of WILTON. The Noble Earl received the Gentlemen of the Deputation very graciously, and after they had partaken of a cold collation, ex pressed on their departure the warmest attachment to the interests of the excellent Institution, of which he had now become, in so especial a manner, a patron. The Bill for the encouragement and rewar d of petty officers, seamen, and marines, for long and faithful services, enables the Commissioners and Go vernors of Greenwich Hospital, nut of their present or future funds, to grant pensions, remunerations, or allowances to petty officers, seamen, and ma rines, for length of service or good conduct, on the same principle as pensions are granted to the wounded and disabled, but subject to the regulations of Orders in Council. The body politic and cor. porate of the chest' at Greenwich is to be extin guished, and its powers transferred to the Hospital Commissioners, and all f. nds of the said chest are to belong hereafter-to the said Commissioners, in aid of the objects of the Act. The Commissioners are ena bled to make compensations to such persons as lose their employments by this change. A paymaster and accountant is to be appointed, whose letters and packets are to be free of postage. BETTING ON THE DERBY, IRIS. 101 to / apt. Mr. Watson's b. c. Walton, out of Dodoes. IS to i apt.

Friday se'nnight Major General HOWARD reviewed Major WILNIOTH'S Troop of Royal Horse Artillery, on St. Catherine's Hill, Portsmouth, it forming to gether a remarkable fine body of Officers, men, and horses, most of which have seen considerable service in the late Continental war. The whole are in Bar racks, which have lately been considerably enlarged, with additional gun-sheds, for their reception. A detachment of the Royal Waggon Train of Ar tillery, consisting of about 60 men, 100 horses,' and ,five guns, together with waggons, &c. are arrived at 'Christchurch Barracks, where they are to be stationed for some tir.e.

Some are all black, but the turn-up of spangled velvet is a good contrast to the plain black. Others are trimmed with a white tulle plaited in round plaits. There are also round the black bonnets roses and feathers. When a hat is turned up it is generally in the front, but not in the middle of the front. The feathers are worn flat, and rather pliant than crisped. Some bonnets of deep blue have, for trimming, bands of black velvet. Some Modestes make hats of Merino, coquelicot colour, and trim them with round plaited tulle. The silk' stuffs, with which they make striped bonnets, have, rather than bands, small fillets, green, orange, sky blue, ros e, or white. Almost all th e spencers of bl ac k velvet are trimmed with blond or black lace. We have lately seen on the collar rvari (stretching-out collar) of Merino riding coats, amaranth, green, or carmelite, simple fillets of black velvet to the number of eight or ten, instead of capes. There are riding coats of which the pelerine is in velvet, of a colour dif ferent from the robe, but the doubleue is of Merino.
