F FRENCH PA PERS. PARIS, NOVEMBER VI. - - . The King yesterday admitted to a private audi ence Baron Vincent, who notified to his Majesty the de rah of Princess lierinione, of Anhalt, the sponse of his Imperial and Royal Highness the Archduke Joseph Palatine ni Hungary, brother to the Empertir of Austria. 1 he French Court are going into mourn. irg eleven days for this Princess. The bureaux of the Chamber of Deputies did not meet yesterday. The ceder oF the day announces simply s meeting of the bureaux for Saturday. At the same time it is believed dist there will be a public suing for the purpose of receiving a communication from the Ministers of the project of law foraecru;;lng, The Spanish Journals mention, that on the 13th of last October there was so strong atharricane at Ali cant that the waves raked by it carried off the pieces of artAlery from out of the bastions, and dashed them so violently against the ne4,hbouring houses, that four of them were thrown down. In a quarter of an hour the city was inundated, a:d presented the appearance of a great shipwre ck. We read in the Journal of Toulouse the following notice We are authorised to make it known, that in consequence of new communications which have taken placehetween the Ministers of his 13titannic Majesty and the French Ambassador in London, the English Government has declared its intention not to receive into its ports the Spanish refugees who may there present themselves in future." Le Pere Elysee, first surgeon to the King and Monsieur, died on the 27th at midnight, in the 65:h year of his age, of the consequences of a gangtenots affection in fits hgs, which terminated a lung series of indisposition. The concourse and zeal of projes aioual ineture.), among whom were remarked several of the most distinguished, and the failure of their efforts. dicey that the malady was not curable. Fa ther Elysee is the last et the Fraternity of Chorite whom we have seen devoting themselves to the exer cise of the surgical profession ; and particularly to the practice of the art of lithotoiny, the methods of operating in which they had either interned or im proved. He exercised his profession with the most brilliant success at Go noble fir &teen years, when he was called to the Royal army commanded by the hince ot Conde. There is 11-1 one of that army who does not recount some wonderiul cures he performed. or some trait of diontereateeliitsa by which he was dis tinguished. The reputation of his successes procured for him the esteem and even the friendship of almost all tic Sovereign, of Europe. Several of them made him flattering offers to settle in their dominions, but his existence was devoted to the French Princes. He followed them to England—his talents and his cha racter made him soon be received by the most august persons, and he was seen immediately employing his credit and his fortune in assisting the companions of his exile. When at last happier days began to beam on France. be accompanied his Majesty on his restoration, sad received from him the tide of his first Surgeon, as a just and woetby recompence of his fidelity. He saw death approaching, and re eel/red his summons with that pious Christian resig nation which becomes a man of his character and state. His funeral will take place to-morrow, at four o'clock in the afternoon, at the parish church of 8:. Germain Amami'. The Bourdeaux paper publishes an extract from the official Gazette of the Isle of France, for the pur pose of destroying the absurd and exaggerated reports that bad spread on the causes and the extent of the late fire which afflicted that colony. The fire took place on the Ist of July, and the article is dated Port Louis, the sth of July. The fire was dreadful, and destroyed much property in Port Louis, but no lives were lost. All the vessels in the harbour were con sumed. Though nobody petished in the flames, a' eerjtant of the 12th regiment, called Mackenzie, bad a limb broken by the falling of a piece of wood, while attempting to extinguish the fire, and a subscription was immediately raised for the relief of this victim of so laudable a zeal. The fruits of 25 years of labour and industry were lost to some of the settlers. PRIVATE LETTER& " PARIS. NOVEMBER in. " The violent language of Prussia is certainly a species of lese•majtio against legitimacy ; and if there was any serious respect for the doctrine, we think the Holy Alliance would issue a writ of correction against t se Minister Hardenberg. a Prussia would certainly wish to drain France of 11101 t treasure; but the true motive of her present exaction dots not originate in a spirit of avarice, but in the She of her fears. She feels conscious that she has wounded the pride and excited the animosity of the French nation collectively, by injudicious insults and an ungene r sus abuse of victory. She sees the moment ap proach when the cords which bound France to the tack must be cut—when she will be released, lacera ted, but not mutilated—momentarily weakened, but idtb ail the vital faculties unimpaired. •' This image of renovated power scares Prussia out of all respect for justice and the Bourbon Dy nasty. She sees no salvation unless she can consum mate her oppression by the dismemberment of France; sad the policy urged in her famous Note, when the Treaty of Paris was negociating, has received an ad ditional incitement from she councils of her present ter ra. The enchainment of France, until circumstances may permit other powers to co-operate in her parti tion. is the true key to those extravagant demands of, which the Treaty never proposed to tale cognizance; demands which the keows cannot be paid. and which art turd only to afford a pretext for protracted bond age. lrettenately . for France, those Powers which might wish to assist the scheme of dismemberment are paralyzed by their own internal difficulties. Still France now feels that her danger increase, as the moment of her realemption appenathestbat oppor, tunities will be industriously ported *involve her in hostile discueions, which may retard Abe period of ostsancipation--and that an unio4t of wisdom and energy can en• save her from . ihe toils whichthe itrusseas Cabt is eedeavouring to throw over her." j' VARIS, NOVEMBER es. The Chamber of ties soatiaue to meet in their Bureaux on diet: Projets before them.— They are much divided flit that on the Liberty of the p ress ; four of the Cosesiiiteloo vote for the Trial by Jury in all cases—five Sete spinet it. To mend surpvise, &said is among the former. 'l'be Chamber of Peers have as yet no butiness to meet upon...—The differences betweeh France and Prussia, respecting the-pecuniary claims of the latter, may be considered as adjusted. A fresh fund of fifteen mil lions of renter will be created for the final extinction of these claims, and a compiny is already formed to purchase them of the Prussian Government. The penury of its treasury. and the necessity of maintain ing a considerable force to keep its people in subjec tion, are said to have obliged this Government to urge its claims on France with sir much rigour at this moment. The present pecuniary transactions with France are connected a ith a negotiation for the remo val of another part of the army of occupation, in the course of next Spring. 44 Little transpires as yet of M. Corvetto's plan of I finance for the ensuing year. It is presumed, how ever, that another k i n of fifteen millions will be re sorted to for the extraordinary exigencies, in which case the general increase of stock will be precisely the same this year with that effected the last, thirty mil lions. The public impression on these matters will account for the declining state of the French Funds, which in a very few days have gone down from 66 1 to 63 and a fraction. The Recolorriiances de Liquida- tic*, the best accredited Fund of any, have fallen from. 72 to 63. Some attribute this depression to a macerilivre of the Loan Contractors, at a moment when a fresh Loan is in agitation. " The Law Projet on the Concordat may have had its share also in effecting this fall, less perhaps, however, from the additional charges it brings with it, than from an idea of the instability of such a state of things as this Concordat establishes and forbodes. " A narrative of the melanch•ly shipwreck of the Medusa frigate, belonging to the Senegal expedition of 1816, makes some sensation here. It reflects bit terly, but justly, on the Minister of Marine at that period. A bub.criptio:k has been opened in favour of the few individuals, fifteen in all, saved from timer'. tastruphe, and who have been dismissed the service for giviag an account thereof on their return."

Exchequer if is 28 pa Last night we received some German Papers, in addition to those which reached us in the morning; and this day we have received Hamburgh Papers to the 22d ultimo. The most important articl3 for the immediate con sideration of those who superintend the maritime forces of the Civilized World, is *hat relates to the Algerine corsairs. A letter from Algiers, dated the sth October, has reached Hansborgh, via Marseilles, which, speaking of the Hamburgh ship Reiherstieg, of which the new Dey bad made a present to the British Consul, (as stated some time ago in the STAN) the writer, after mentioning that the vessel had sailed on the 28th of September, adds 4-44 but, unhappily, the ship has the plague on board, of which two men had already died." The Russians belonging to the ship taken near Lisbon, who, (after riiing on.the prize-master and hie hands, and throwing them into the sea,) were again captured and carried into Algiers, are obliged to work there in the Marine, with wretched diet, and . . are treated exactly like slaves, except that they are not in chains. One thousand piastres per man are demanded as ransom. On the SOth September a squadron of six corsairs put to sea to cruize against Prussian, Oldenburg, and Hanseatic vessels. 44 They are not," says the writer, " to go farther than to the English Channel;" and he expresses a hope 4 4 that all the Northern ves sels will provide themselves with Turkish passes."— But will these passes be of any use io preventing in- fection being communicated to such vessels as these thieves choose to have intercourse with ? Among our shipping intelligence this day, we have an instance of a British vessel having been very re cently boarded by this squadron of pestilence. According to accounts from Tangiers of the 20th October, two Algerine corsairs, a brigantine of 14 'guns, and a plata, of sixteen,- which anchored in that road, said, that about twenty-five clays before, they had taken in the ocean, on the cnast of Biscay, a Hamburgh ship, and sent it to Algiers. They proceeded from Tangiers, after• taking in water, into the ocean, to complete their cruise, which was to last three months. According to other accounts the curtains are to cruize principally against Prussian and Hamburgh ships. To these particulars we have ter add a report, brought by the Elizabeth Hill, Captain &terra's, which arrived yesterday in Margate Roads from Smyrna, last from Gibraltar, in ten days—" spoke off Cape de Gatt the Mary, from Tanis, bound to Barcelona, and was informed that the Dal of A Lotus (meaning, we think, the new one) bad been shot, and that war was declared against the Sicilians, panes and Swedes." An article from Rome mentions a recent attempt at robbery followed with this curious fact, that the Wages who by mistake stole LUCID/ BONAPARTeII Secretary instead of himself, afterwards sent word that they were willing to ransom him for SAO Ron man uowas I 1 We know not whether a State that can suffer such outrages to be pe: rimed within its jurisdietinu, or the lawless Algerines, are the most intolerable—yet, with We former, notwithstanding the robberies and assassinations which daily occur, some men, who would be deemed wise 'Rulers, are actually negociating what they call Concordat:— miserable folly and stupidity. ST. PETERSBURGH, OCTOBER SI. The Festival of the Reformation was celebrated to-day in all the Evangelical Churches. There is doubtless no place in the whole world which contains in so narrow a space so many Temples of the various Christian persuasions. as the spot where the Lu.- theran Church of St. Peter in this tit) , stands. Near it, that is in the space of a square went, there stand the Greek Russian Cathedral of the Mother of Goo, of Casan, the Armenian Church, the Roman Catholic Church, the German, French, and Dutch Ref ornvd Churches. There are besides'in this space the Swe dish and Finland Lutheran Churches. The Chris tians of these various persuasions visit their church every Sunday in amity with each other, and no one interferes with the other. The celebration of the third Secular Festival of the Reformation. which is in itself so remarkable, is ren dered more interesting on this spot, by the reflection that the Reformation, and the spirit of toleration pro. doted by it, were a principal cause that the Chris , flans, of various persuasions, could venture to place their churches close to each other without enmity or fear, under the protection of a Government, which in every one of them honours Christianity. WARSAW, NOVEMBER 10. The present fair goes on favourably, and is much better than the last. According to the list pulllished, 96 foreign merchants have arrived here with goods; some of those merchants are from France, and some from Moldavia. HAMBURGH, NOVEMBER 21. Exchange on London-14th Nov. 33. 4.-33. 7. 18th Nov. 33. 4-31 Bi. From the Paris Asper: of Friday, which arrived last night, we have given some extracts in a preceding column, but which do not call for any particular notice : the private letters which we have added, are of a nature somewhat more important. Of the dif ference between France and Prussia, respecting the indemnity claims of the latter, our Readers are al ready aware. One of the private letters which we have quoted goes the length of affirming that the difference may be considered as adjusted ; but the fact, we believe, is very much otherwise. From au• thority on which reliance may be placed, we learn that the Prussian Minister at Paris has delivered in another Official Note, expressing the serious alarm which his Cowt have conceived at that part of the King of FRANCE'S Speech to the Chambers, where his MAJESTY announceshis intentionof recruitinghisarmys and at the more than formal approval which it re ceived in the responding Addresses of the Chambers. It recalls to the attention of the French Ministry, the intimation so lately given by the Court of Berlin that it would insist on the payment of the liquidations stipu• hated by treaty, and complains of the measure proposed of augmenting, at a vast expense and without any reasonable cause, the military power of France, as , well as of other equally unnecessary and burdensome measures, instead of applying the resources of Fiance in the first instance to the payment of its debts. The convellation between the Duke de RICHELIEU and M. de Got.Tzon the presentation of this note, is stated to have been of rather a warm description, and, as might be expected, not a little of this warmth has extended it self to the French public at large in relation to the sub ject. "Pars lee 'muggers avec defer," has become a cur_ rent expression among them, and it is certain that the preparations in the military department, under the new Minister of War, GOUVION Sr. Can, are upon a scale of magnitude and vigour sufficiently calcu_ lated to induce an apprehension that the sentiments of the people are not without the sanction of a kin dred feeling in the Government. The French funds still keep low. On Thursday the .5 per cents were at 63 f. 95 c. The mourning of the French Court for the Anew DUCHESS PAGATINI is exactly the same as fur our Princess CHARLoTTIC—six days and five. The Theatres and Concert Rooms throughout Ha. noverm i tre shut upon the arrival there of intelligence of the death of the Princess CIIMILOTTE. The private letters yesterday by the Dutch Mail, state the failure of a very respectable house at Ham_ burgh, to the amount of upwards of 400,000 marks. Recent advices from Malta state, that there has been a severe storm at Odessa, which had driven a rumber of vessels on shore, several of which had been considerably injpred. A person intimate with LAS CAMS, mentions that he acquainted him that previous to his leaving St. Helena, his baggage was strictly examined by order of the Governor, and that a packet, containing the history of BONAPARTI, written by LAS CAEAs by the immediate desire of BONAPARTI, and under his di• reetion, was taken from him ; he made pressing ap. plications, that it might be returned, which the Go vernor pointedly refused : at length it was agreed, that this most extraordinary document should remain in the possession of General Lows, slid with his sane. tion LAII CAMS affixed his seal, that the packet should not be opened without his consent.
