To-day we have received Paris Papers of Monday, from which we subjoin some extracts. The Pore seems to regard his neighbour Mutual- with a jealous .eye.: a 1. rural demand has been made at Vienna for the restitutten vf the Marche of Ancona, and the .Datchy of Urbino, both being withheld from the Papal States by MURAT, as King of Naples. His HoLiNe.s also demands restitution of the three Lega tions of 80l gna, Ferrara, and Romagna ; besides the restitution of the Patriarchate of Venice. All thcse requests are said to have been refused ; but we pr. some they will be again made at the ensuing Con gress.• In the mean time, disturbances occasionally break out between the Neapolitan and Roman troops, which wal perhaps lead to semething more serious. In pissing through a small village called Bavai i near •Maubenge, the Duke de Bennt alighted from Isis eariiage, and received in the Market-place a De ' pittation of the Vllagcrs, headed by their Priest or -.Cure, who was S 2 years of age. There was some thin' rather unccurtly in the old man's address; al lading to the Duke's diminutive stature, the venerable Pri'.st reminded his Prince, that IkraL-nu: 4:xander torrne parvus tract I PARIS, AUGUST 15. Yesterday Monsieur reviewed, in the Champ-de- Mars, the elite companies, Infantry and Cavalry, of the twelve legions of the Nation..l Guards of Paris. He was accompanied by the Duke D'Angouleme, and the Duchess D'Angouleme was also present, in an open carriage. The crowd, which was immense, rent the air with shouts of Vivent les Bourbopj. Several soldiers in the Garrison of Toulouse, after having expressed th.:ir discontent at the Ecclesiastics being dec"rated with the lily, proceeded to acts of open outrage. Complaints having been made, the military Commandant of the place has published an Order of the Day, stating, Oat such conduct will be severely ptimbhed in tutuie ; the dec'ration in ques tion bein a rallying sign for all classes of his Ma- kale* sit .jects. Ceptain Vailhen, Commanding the French Polacre Ziria, which has arrised at Marseilles from Algiers, rep..rts, that on the 4th inst. five Algerine cruizers .IaAJ. brought into the latter port 14 vessels which they hid captured; eight of which were Swedish, one Danish, two nutch,.and three Spanish. He also re ports, that two Algerine frigates were cruizing off tape Gt.Vii:cerit, and that three of the above cruizers *ere prepatnig for sea again. ~ Zee following is the letter addreslcd by the sing tb the Grand Vicar of •Paris, relative to the festival of the Af>suMp!ion: • . s e Wr hay:: ord. red you, in two memorable ciretanstaneee, to return tl•arks .o that Surge:se Baps° by whom King's reign.

COPENHAGEN, JULY 3o The Danish Commissioners sent from hence to persuade Prince Christian to give up Norway have returned without success. We are assured that the Prince Royal of Sweden has declared to the Allied Commissioners, that if their Sovereigns will not assist him in the struggle with Norway, conformably to their engagements, he will conquer it single•handed. The Norwegians still flatter themselves that the Eng lish will raise the blockade of their ports. It is cer tain that they have many powerful partizans in Eng land, and that the Prince Royal of Sweden has very few friends there. MADRID, AUGUST S. This capital enjoys the most perfect tranquillity. Conjectures are afloat, as to what may be the condi tions of our Treaty with France. There can be no doubt of the natural limits between the two countries; but it is difficult to say what may be their commer cial relations. The condition of our Colonies renders our connection with France and Europe much less advantageous : the military siory we have achieved will not be disputed ; we have nought, and paid dearly for it. The•same ignorlnce still prevails as to the authors of the forged La ars which doomed to death the three Milita:-:; Governors, Elio, O'Donnel, and Villavi ci:otio : it is merely said, that they were sent by the ordinary courier, which makes the affair the more difficult of discovery. General Villavicentio has issued a Proclamation at Cadiz, the object of which is to put down the scan dalous reports which are daily circulated along the coasts of the Mediterranean.— [This is the Procla mation which we gave some time back.] —The resi dence of the Cortes at Cadiz left in the minds of the people a tendency to politics, which the Government endeavours to repress. It were to be wished that the Governor's Proclamation had the effect of imposing silence on the propagators of these rumours. A letter from Bristol, of yesterday's date, reports, l Out the Prince of Neufchatel privateer, which was off that port on Sunday, the 14th instant, is a vessel that bore a French commission, under the same name, before the termination of the war with that nation ; that her Captain is a Frenchman ; and that she sailed from Cherbourg only three weeks since, and will re turn to the same port as soon as she has collected suf ficient plunder at the expense of the English. Those who have studied Vaud! will be able to inform us whether this mode of depredation comes under the denomination of " war it disguise," or by what other name it should be called.—The following is a copy of the letter above alluded to : " BRISTOL, AOGOST_I7. " It is reported, that the Prince of Neufchatel pri vateer, which was off this port On Sunday, the 14th instant, is a vessel that here a French commizsion, under the same name, before ele termination of the war with that nation ; that her owners are resident in France—her Captain a Ficnchman ; that she sailed from Cherbourg only three weeks since, and vould return toFrince as soon as she was filled with plunder." Two Harnburgh Mails which arrived this morn. ing, have brought us the following intelligence : GOITENBURGH, JULY 18. Some days ago, being on board one of our frigates near 016 nod, on the Norwegian Coast, I saw several Norwegian fishermen come to beg for a little bread. They reported that large quantities of flour and corn were arrived iu Norway, but that the whole was kept for the sole us cf the army, and that the people all over tic country were in the greatest distress for want Gt food. The poor people received some bread and left us. Seventeen ships have been lately captured oil the Coast of Norway, in consequence of the blockade, 12 by the Swedes, and five by the English. FROM THE MAYNE, JULY 28. It is said that the coffin of Queen Caroline Matilda is to be removed from Zell to &stand, and solemnly interred at goeskelde. Sr. PETERSBUROH, JULY 10, On the 19th instant his Imperial Highness the Grand Duke Constantine left this city to return to Warsaw ; our White Russia exchange on Hamburgh is down at 9 :chill. banco. DEUTSCH KRONE, JULY 19. Yesterday evening the Emperor Alexander arrived here; the axletree of the carriage having broken dowq, his Majesty was forced to pan the night here. HAMBURQH, AUGUST I. Several of onr patriotic citizens have formed a Committee to afford rdief to the poorer classes of our Community, by purchasing beds, and tools, redeem ing their pawned effects, &c. They have spared no pains in txantining with their own eyes, and have already distributed 80,000 marks, and hope that the new Contributions, which they expect from England, will enable them to extend their aid. --(Alton Mer. csary, Abut 2.) Them- Papers contain no biter intelligence foil NorWaY and Sweden. The flmation, of a Plc* army of 90,000 men in Alsace, is formally fir dieted id All the German Parrs. . • . NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. The Leith Packet, WATSON, from Teneriffe to Dublin ; the William and Ann, MiPIE, frem Glas gow to Clare ; and the Peggy and Ann, DuNcAn, from Liverpool to Limerick, were taken and sunk previous to 15th instant, by the Peacock American sloop of war. The Catharine, SOSPHERD, of London, sailed from Gaboon on the 15th May, in company with the Ad venture, DUGDALE, of Liverpool, and parted from her on the 19th for Cape Coast Castle. The Adven ture was taken on the 21st by the Syren American sloop of war, and the crew landed by her at St. Thomas's two days after. Captain DUGDALE states, that he is of opinion, that the account of the capture of the Catharine is unfounded. PLYMOUTH, AUGUST 16. Came in the CALEDONIA, 120 guns. Admit's' Lord EXMOUTH, from the Mediterranean ; 74 guns, from the Westward ; and the EHDAMUS frigate, from Portsmouth. Sailed the ORESTES sloop of war for Bourdeaux. PORTSMOUTH, AUGUST 17. Arrived his Majesty's sloops BovNE and REVENGE, from the Mediterranean, and are put under quaran tine ; and A LPHLUS from the Downs. Sailed his Ma jesty's ship HANNIBAL for Plym( uth. The Sterling, ADKINSON, has passed by from Quebec; parted from the convoy of 86 sail on the Banks of Newfoundland, protected by his Majesty's ships CENTAUR. and CvAwn on the 30th ult. It is supposed the convoy must be in the Channel.—Wind W. DEAL, AUGUST 17. Arrived his Majesty's ship BERMUDA, from Calai , , and the Sterling, ADKINSON,fmm Quebec. The latter has sailed for the River.—Wind W. THE ARmr. A very large Medical Staff is under orders for America, to be attached, it is understood, to the forces at present in c9urse of outfit. Monday se'nnight the 79th Regiment, which landed at Cork a few days ago, and were ordered for Gal way, were counter-ordered, and are to embark imme diately for foreign service. The following Regiments are likewise ordered fcr foreigft service : - their destination is America, viz. 11th Foot, from Wexford ; '2Bth, from Birr ; 40th, from Athlone ; and 48th, from Clonmel. Several smacks arrived in Leith Roads, on Satur day, with the Fites!iiry Regiment of Militia, who will be immediately landed in their own County and dis embodied. On the 6th and Sth inst. thl Durham Militia ar rived at B.trnardcastle, from Glasgow, and were re ceived witn cheers and ringing of bells. In the even ing there was a grand doplay of fire-works. On Thursday they were disembodied. The ma drew the Colonel, Major, and several other Oaicers, in two carriages, round the market place, an a chaired others, for their kind 'behaviour towards them. The 2d Battalion of the 27th Regiment has em barked at Cork for Scotland. It is to be stationed in Edinburgh Castle, and, with the depot, will form a Battalion of nearly 1000 strong. By a letter from one of the 61st Regiment of foot, now lying at Fermoy, Ireland, it appears that of the 14.00 meri, of which the Regiment was composed just previous to the battle of Corunna, only tea veterans are now left, three of whom are Commissioned Offi cers, the others privates ; among the latter it is re mat 'cable there are two brothers—their name is Hogg. We stated yesterday the purport of the Duke de BERRI'S mission to have been to invite the Pui Noe RE GENT to Paris. A report is, however, in circula•inn, that beneath the ostensit , le object of the Duke de Bzunt's visit, another purpose was concealed, namely, to propose some new arrangement regarding the Ne therlands, the surrender of Belgium having, it is said, excited considerable dissatisfaction in France. By accounts from Archangel of the 17th of June, we learn, that the last winter had made greater in roads into the summer of that northern latitude than ever had been known in the memory of man. The ice of the Dwina had not broke up till the 24th of May, and even in the middle of June the White Sea was full of drift ice. No ships had then arrived at Archangel from foreign parts, but immense quan tities of flax, hemp, tallow, and grain were expected from the interior of Russia. The annexed is taken from a communication dated Calcutta, December 90:— ' By the latest native advices from the North-west frontier it appears, that the Seik forces were pouring from every quarter in the direction of Cashmire : RUNJEIT SING Whims-If proceeded to the banks of the Helun, where, it is said, he has assembled an army of nearly 50,000 horse and foot, in the neighbourhood of Aurungabad. It was thought the march of that army might be delayed until after the winter, as the mountains were, in many places, impassable from snow. The HAKIM. of Cashmire, has taken the pre caution to block up and fortify the passes. MAH MOOD SHAH, the Sultan of Cabo!, has set out, we are told, from that Capital to Puhour, which was also threatei ed by the Seiks; and, it was reported, that his Vizier, FUTTSH KHAN, had followed him with all the force he could collect. Our Indian readers will view, with no small concern, the active and pow. erful military operations of the Selk Chiet, Ittninier SING, whose power, already considerable, will, in event of success over the King of CABUL, become formidable as a neighbour of the Company in that quarter; and, from the hardihood, warlike disposi tion, and the peculiar kind of force of which the Seik consist, we think the Government in this coun try should watch, with an attentive and jeal ,, u., eye, over the operations of those Seik Chiefs; and discourage, if possible, the martial spirit which,of fait., has been manifested against their northern and west. ern neighbours ; and which, if much increased, may soon be directed towards the South and East into the Company's possessions. Rummy SING himself re mained stationary on the banks of the Helun, where he liad apembled an imm ense A rm y o f S e ik s , and was joined by all the Rajahs of the Kohistun. He had been joined by Furreu SING, one of his prin. Sirdars, whom he talked of detaching again:. MOOLTAN. The camp of MULHAa RAO HOLICAA was at Rampooial." WINDSOA, AtiCl:47 It Yesterday the Duke of Yoftc's birth-day was eele,, brated by ber MaissYY, at Frogmore Lodge, but not upon such a grand or extensive scale as the PRINCE REGENT'S on Friday. The company did not dine in the tents and marquees as on that occasion, but in the house, where upwards of one bundled dined. The PRINCE REGENT, attended by the Earl of Yiastotrru, arrived about six o'clock from London ; his Royal Highness was received at the door by the Princess CHARLOTTE, who had previously errivpd from Cm-- bourn Lodge, attended by the Dowager Countess of ROSSLTN and General GARTH. The bands of the Royal Horse Guards, and of the .sth Regiment, who are quartered here, played alter nately during the entertainment. The dinner consisted of every delicacy, and in greet abundance. After dinner the company retired to tie rlom adjoining the Library, where her Majesty': band, dressed in their uniform, performed a cuncert. at the close of which, the QUEEN and the Royal party sat down to a sumptuous supper. The Duke of Yonx left noun after nine o'ci.o.k, for London. Her NIAMTT, With much to the Duke of YORK, invited all his private and particular friends, together with those of the Duchess, who used to be present at Oatlands when his birth.d.ty was ce4- brated there. ']'he Quakx, the PRINCE REGENT, and all the Royal Family went to the Cistle to sleep, except the Prin cess CitAnLarre, who returned to Cranbourn Lodge. This morning the Pittsca REGENT left Windsor, and the Duchess of YORK left for ()Aland:. The Earls of MAcCr E'rIELD and ARRAN, and Lord ST. HELENS, left for London, as did Count MuNsrsp, Sir THOMAS STEPNEY, Generals MANNIIRS, CAMP CELL. and GWYNNE Colonels Howitan awl UPTON, and Mr. and Mrs. STANHOPE. On the Birth-day of the Putsce Realm the Duke of YORK, whose kindness to the children of the Mai. tary Asylum at Chelsea is well known, sent them a present of Fire-works, which were exhibited under the care of proper persons, from Woolwich. The children were drawn out in the inclosure ; the boys superintended by Serjeants, the girls by their M's tresses and Nurses. It was a cheering thing to hear the huzzas of the former, upon the sight of the splendid curiosities ; and to witness the admirable neatness and decorum of the latter. Dispatches from Quebec have been received by the Eocus frigate, but which do not detail any fresh orerations. All the men of war, as they arrive from the Medi terranean, are to be paid off without delay. The ORLANDO, and several other frigates, have been sent from thence to the coast of America. Letters from St. Petersburgh of the Sd of July mention that the tariff of 1811, with . the alterations made in 1812, was to be in force during the ptesent year. The number of sick and disabled soldiers lately ar rived horn France, and remaining in the Isle of Wight, amounts to upwards of 500 men. A notice was received at LLOYD'S on Tuesday morn ing, from the Transport Board, stating, that they were not in want of any mere transports. The POPE, with great propriety, has forgiven all his subjects their dereliction of prinziple during the late troubles. The Bishop of SPoutro, appointed such by BoisiAPAstsr, has published a recp.ntatino, begging pardon for having accepted an appointment from a tn.in who had rto right to give it, and expressing great contrition for his conduct, which he declares to have been the effect of fear. Now, if such is the case, how could he be sure that he should not be frightened into similar offences again, if any other powerful tyrant should oppress the See, or even Bo- NA PA RTE raise his head again ? We understand, that in consequence of the extreme difficulty of finding an appropriate mansion for the NELSON family, after so many years of research, the project of purchasing one for the Duke of WELLING TON is abandoned, and a new one is to be built for his Grace, on a design of his own selection ; the funds to be furnished from the grants voted by Parliament, as a national remuneration for his Grace's services, and as a provision for maintaining the dignity of the dukedom. Mercer's Hall, in Cheapside, having undergone repair, presents once more a fine ornament in the city. The figures of Faith, Hope, and Charity, with the surrounding architecture, are generally admired, and in their present improved state are seen to great advantage. THE NEW Ommixo.—The workmen employed to pull down the houses in the Haymarket proceed with great rapidity. A passage is now open a short dia. tance above the Opera House, which leads into St. James's square, through Charles-street. A publican, in one of the houses now pulling down, who had paid but little attention to repeated notices to quit, was disturbed on Monday m inning white he was in bed. on the attic, by several blows on the roof, and belore he could rise, two pick axes came through the ceiling. He found, on inquiry, that the men were pulling down his house, and then, for the first time, he thought of removing. Before his goods were all out, two stories were thrown off the house. A Liverpool Paper contains two advertisements for the sale of plantations and estates in the West Indies; at the foot of one it is stated, that there are upwards of 100 Negro Slaves, 40 children, and a 'stock of cattle! all to be taken together II ! The other enu merates 65 healthy and well-disposed Negroes, 1:5 mules, oxen, bulls, cows, calves, &c. !—The Slave Trade, and Wert India Slavery, are two distinct thing , . The Abolitionists have but half dote their work.— The latter enormity exists still with all its horrors. — On this subject we would recommend to the atteation of the friends of humanity, a recent work by Dr. Dlocsox, in which are many useful details furnishing 7ractical evidence that, only by emancipation of the ;laves, can the West India Colonies ever be brought to a state of prosperity and safety. The wife of a respectable citizen has excited a good deal of curiosity at Margate. She bathes in a green dress. without a cap ; and, attached to she shoulders of the dress is something resembling fins. She swims remarkably well, and the peculiarity of her parapher nalia, together with her long black hair, have occa sioned many to believe, who saw her bathe, that it was a oistroaid, and they have actu a lly written b o rne to their fr i end s , assuring them of the fact. • I 1 ~~
