LONDON: MONDAY, DECEMBER L 5,1817. Ttis Paris Journals of Tuesday and Wednesday, Oast were received on Saturday. The following arc the the only articles of the slightest interest. PARp; Dec. 9.—" The Royal Coins (of Justice) has met, and its first act was to register the tide of Duke conferred upon Crilion, in consideration of Ilia services of his ancestors, and especially of the celebrated Craton, who was the friend and companion of Henry IV. " I'he•Caurl also registered the mitigated sentenee of Du val, Dnche, Foischer, and Dumont, condemned to death for treason, in April last. They're mite imprisoned tO year% and to be under surveillance all tire* lives. 4 ' A letter from MI'SCOW, Nov. 14, says, that on the 30thasf the preceding month the Emperor Alexander visited all the prisons which have been rebuilt. " The four nirshals on duty at th palace (Thicdonald, Oudinot, Moment, and Victor) breakfasted on Sunday with the King. " It appears 'by 'letters from Constantinople of the 27th of September, that there was launched from the arsenal of that pert, a 59 gun ship, the largest in the Ottoman navy. The plague still continued, but with abated violence. The hur ts vitals of the French dad Armenians had been empty for e month before the last accounts came :sway. Towards th ?middle of the month of October, the plague had made such progress at Belgrade, that Baron Stormer, the Austrian Ambas.ador, who had gone thither after the loss of his son, was under the necessity of returning quickly to Pera, where according to custom, he will pass the winter. A letter from Vienna of the 29th Nov. says— " The negociations which Prince Nletternich was car rvin,,° on with Spain, being terminated, the Emperor has bestowed the Grand Cross of the Order of St. 'Stephen of Hungary, upon his Royal Higness the In fant Charles Loui3, upon the Chevalier Pizarro, the Spanish Minister for Foreign Affairs, end the Dok e d e San Carlos, lately Minister here, and now oared:fed to the Court of London,' The same letter adds," that a list had been published a' Vienna of the Gazettes and forei g n Journals whose introduction and circulation will be permitted in the Austrian States. Their number is very limited. T!!e Gazettes of Weimar, Bremen, Mentz, WishAen, Nu remberg, Stutgard, &c. are prohibited." It is by an Ordonnance of the 4th Dec. that the Chamber of Council of the second civil section at Rouen, ha 3 sent before the Correctional Tribunal of that city. rcla.florin Bruneau, stylng Itimulf Charles of Navarre, 31 Louis the XVI, IRIt NATIONAL REGISTIIIt. A letter from Milan of the 26th Nov given in the Brussels papers of the 9th contains the following pas sage The Prinessa of Wales received ) estcrday, by a courier despatched from London, the deplorable news of the death of her beloved daughter, the Princess Charlotte. This cruel. event has made such a profound impression upon her, that she fainted away several times successively." B RU ssrt.s, DEC 43 —One of our journals has pablish a some letters of Count Las Cases. The firstis addressed to Lord Sidnaouth, and a second to Lord Holland. These letters arc concluded by the following piece : " All the public papers gave at the time erroneous ac munts of the reason of my departure from Longwood. The following will re-establish the truth:"— ~ My dear Count Las Cases.—My heart sensibly feels what you experience. Torn from me sixteen or seventeen days ! ago, von have been confined as secret, without being permit ' tcd to receive any information about ate, or to communicate with any person whatever, either French or English, and even destitute of a servantof your own choice. " Your conduct at St. Helena has been, like your life, lin. notwable and without reproach ; I take pleas's' e in telling )011 so. (Here threg font ths of a letter are wanting. ) " Your company was necessary to me t You alone, read, speak, and nutlet stand English. Howniativ nights have you passed with one in my illness ! However, l advise you, and if needn't I order you to require the Governor of this island to send you to the Continent. He cannot refuse this, having no power over you but by your voluntary consent, which has placed you under his antlior;ty. My heat t a ill rejoice to know that you use on the way to happier countries. Whether you go to England, or whether you return to your country, forget the recollections of the ills which you have been made to stiffer. Roast et' the fidellity which you have shown to me, and of the entire affection which I bear you. '• If yon should one day see my wife and my sort, salute them (erarassez.les); for more than two years I have had no no news of them, either directly or indirectly. ('three lints are here wantiug.j " However, comfort yourself, and console my friends. My body, it is true, is in the fusser of our enemies; their rage forgets nothing that can satiate their revenge. Th e y kill me by inches, Luis me font mourir a coups trepingle but Providence is too just, I ant sensible of it, to permit this to continue long : in tie midst of this eousiimingclimate, de prived of every thing that supports life [Here three lines are wanting.] " As there is every reason to believe that you will not be permitted to come before your departure, receive Illy tlilbraCt a the assurances of my esteem and of my friendship. Be happy. " Your affectionate *" Longwood, Dec. 1818. "NAPOLEON.,' Accounts inserted in a recently-received Curare's Gazette, describe the Spanish Patriot General Paez, to have been beaten by the Royalist CaUeda. The Ja maica Papers, however, give quite a different story:— They state, on the contrary, that Calzada, wit}. a corps of 700 Creoles, had gone over to the Independents, and joined General Paez ; and that, with their united force, they had defeated the Spaniards, Corcen, and Curtin According to an article in the Jamaica Courant, a pow erful and scarcely interrupted tide of success had favour ed the Patriots in all directions, and Alorillo himself was in Caraceas preparing to carry off every thing valuable, and to proceed to the westward towards Porto Cabello. On the other hand accounts from the Havan nah state, that the Royalists have been successful in N ew Spain ; having taken the fort of Comanja, defend ed by General Mena and 700 men. Mena himself,and the major part of his followers escaped but he left be hind upwards of 300 of his troops, and the greatest part of his artillery and ,munition. A vessel, named the Eliza, is recently arrived from India, which on her voyage to England, off Madagas car, spoke the Palladium, a country ship, also on her way homewards. The Palladium left Bengal on the Gth of July, and had on board a Government Gazette, wherein was announced the agreeable tidings of a peace with all the Mahratta powers. A territory producing a a revenue of one million and a half had been ceded to the 'Company, to indemnify it for the expenses of the war. Lord Hastings had left Calcutta to see the treaty executed. The American Papers contain a laughable specimen, of Republican Quixotism. The Government of Ame lia Island, has decreed, that all the individuals com posing its army, (we have heard they amount to above a hundred, from the drummer to the Brigadier-Gene ral) shall have certain portions of land according to their respective ranks and length of service, in the Flo ridas, when—(this is a very awkward condition of the grant)—they have conquered them. The graduated scale of the donations is actually given, and we find that a private, who has served six months, is to have 120 acres; nine months, 440 acres ; twelve months, 800 acres. The officers are to obtain these endowments in the ratio of their rank, thus an Ensign is to have 1,600 acres, a Captain :1,200 acres; and so an till we arrive at 13rigadier-Genentl, to whom arc assigned 10,000 acres. This is really incredibly tiiolish. The American Government might just as rationality partition Ireland or England. It shews, however, that plun ler and spoliation are the prime motives of these assertors of liberty, and than they only want the power to do all they promise. Thursday evening summonses were issued for the as sembling of a Cabinet Council on Friday at two o'cl „ which was attended by all the Cabinet Ministers now in Lt ndun. Are. 1!J• Of the Jamsit►r intelligence we entertain the great est doubts, more particularly from the circumstance being stated of 700 Creoles havin g ► gone over to the !ndependents. The devotion of that class of inhubitants to the royal cause has been long tried and acknowledged, and we an convinced no slight event would have the effect of producing so serious a defection. The Russian squadron consisting of five sail of the line and two frigates, under the command of Rear-Ad miral Muller, bound to Cadis, arrived at Deal on the 9th inst.

A letter from Vienna sAys, "The Princess of Wales gave a fete in celebration of her name dt.y, on the of Nove:nber (the thLy of St. Charles), at Pesaro. A comic ballet was represented, in which the Princes danced the principal character !" Mr. Leach is appointed Vice-Chancellor, and Sir Thomas Plumber quits the Vice-Chancellorship to suc ceed Sir William Grant as Master of the Rolls, who re tires not only with the universal regret, but with the gratitude of his Profession and of his Country. Mr. Scr. geant Best is spoken of fur the Chief Justice-ship of Chester. In the Court of King's Bench, Wednesday, Mr. Ar. nold, proprietor of the Lyceum Theatre, brought an action to recover damages from Harley, the comic actor, f►►r breach of an agreement. It appeared that Harley regularly entered into articles with the plaintiff to per form at his Theatre f►r five years, at a rising salary, but after acting one season, lie refused to continue longer, urging that he had entered into an engagement with the Managers of I)retry Lane. Lord Ellenborough having advised a reference, Mr. Gurney, for defendant, admitted he mild not resist the verdict, but he was quite persuaded, from his instructions, that his client had a most satisfactory moral defence.—Mr. Scarlett said, the oliject of Mr. Arnold was only to try the legal question. After some further conversa►ion, it was agreed that the plaintiff should have a verdict for 10001. sub.. ject to a reference to Mr. Ga:tlee. It is no uncommon event for both parties in a Chan cery suit to die before the cause is finally decided—but when we hear the Lord Chancellor declare, as he did lately, that lie had been obliged to read a wheel barrow ,full of papers in one case only, it is not surprising that the march of a Court of Equity is stoic ANECDOTE Or 'THY LATE: DUKE OF NOItTNUMBER. LAND.—The Abbe de Percio, some time after the commencement of the revolution in France, was obliged to fly from his living in Normandy to this country. Soon after his arrival in London, he was hUstled in New-strcet, Covent Garden, and robbed of twenty guineas, which he had received but u few mi nutes before, at Sir Robert Herrics'. With the re mainder of his little property he went to Bath, where it was soon expended. In this dilemma, his country, men there reminded him, that lie was related to the English Percy's, and, as the Duke•of Northumberland was at that time there, they advised him to apply to his Grace for relief. The Abbe immediately wrote to the Duke, who returned a polite answer, and requested a few days for investigation. In the mean time, his Grace wrote to Lord Harcourt, at whose house the Due D'Harcourt resided, and enquired whether the Abbe was one of the De Peroics of Normandy ; soot► after which he transmitted to his uetv cousin a gold box, with a bank note inclosed in it, for one thousand pounds, and a general invitation to his table, which was isom that day open to him. ARE AT DOTHERHITHE —Yesterday morning a dreadful fire broke out at the King's Mills, Rotherhithe belonging to Mr. Surry, a contractor for the Govern ment troops. It broke out ab ut a quarter past o'clock in the morning, at which time one of the watchmen, then on the promises, first dsseovered the smoke issu ing from the steam-engine, when he gave the alarm. By the prompt arrival of a number of engines, and a plentiful supply of water, the fire was confined to the mills, and Mr. Surry's dwelling-house, which, with its contents, were burnt to the ground. It is not known how the fire originated, but we arc happy to add that no lives were lust. The premises were fdily ensured. The machinery alone, it is said, was insured at the Sun Office for 12,0001. Owing to the timber, bricks, &c. falling into the dock, it is t e asel that the water will be stopped in its course. HOP PLArrrEtts.—ln consequence of a memorial to the Lords of the Treasury, and of a subsequent appli cation to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, for a De putation to be allowed to wait on him ou the part of the Hop Planters, .the following letter has bccri re. ceivetl:-- " T 1 easm y Chambers, November, 181..
