370 Vl)4l)tatig. LONDON, MONDAY, NOV. 2G. Three o'clock, p.m. Five days' Paris Papers arrived last night—viz. fr.an the 18th, to Thursday the 22d instant. Th e taming are extracts:— PARIS, Nov. 21.—This (lay the King remained one hour with the Council of Ministers. Laid Lowther, one of the Lords of the English Treasury, and bard Stair, ate just arrived in Paris. Count Lagunie, Minister of the King in Spain, has transmitted to the Municipality of Madrid '2OOO reals, towards the subscription open in that capital ca. the sick at Barcelona. The young Prince Ypsilanti arrived in Paris some days since, to continue his studies. An individual has been several times before the Police Tribunal, charged with an offence which ex ceeds in boldncss any perhaps known of late years. He entered, during the night, the chamber of a lady, who was sleeping alone. Slut• took him fiir her husband, and did not discover her error until she heard the robber make a noise in the act of removing a gold watch from n hook near the bed. The cries of the lady soon brought the neighbours to her as sistance, and the offender was secured. He stated, in his defence before the police, that during the commencement of the Revolution, he became so im moral and depraved, that he had never been able to act upon the rules of honesty, or distinguish right from wrung. The tribunal, without regarding his extraordinary sxcuse, sentenced hint to two years imprisonment. g The Chamber of Peers is occupied daily with the trial of Marian, charged with being one of the con spirators of the 19th of August. The Committee of Health, at Perpignan, have ordered four individuals who were taken in the act of breaking through the cordon, in order to return to France from Spain, to undergo a rigorous quaran tine of forty days, in the laxaret of Arles, and when they are pronounced free front infection, they are to be tried fin the Aimee by the tribunals. A most atrocious murder was recently committed in the commune of Disse sur Soureilion (Senile.) At nine iu the evening two individuals presented themselves at the door of an isolated cottage, and prevailed upon those within to open it, pretending to be overcome by want and fatigue. The young son went into the kitchen to get some wine. The tno strangers followed, and nearly cut off his head with a knife. The father, aged 50, hearing groans, armed himself with a gun, and went into the court yard, where the assassins suddenly attacked him with swords, and finally cut throat. Two daughters, who remained in the house, run out, on hearing the cry of their father, and threw themselves upon his body. One of them was dreadfully wounded, and left for dead ; the other contrived to escape. One of the wretches pointed a gun at the unfortunate fugitive, but happily it flashed in the pan. She soon contrived to ularm a few neighbours, who proceeded to the cottage, and found every thing plundered. Fifteen hundred francs, produced by the sale of 12 pipes of brandy, were carried off. The police are it, search of the murderers. The city of Metz has been for some time afflicted by one of the plagues of Egypt—frogs. Several streets were found covered with these animsls, and no one could imagine from whence they came, until n Marchandc dc Grater&les explained the mystery by applying to the tribunals, and claiming his pm perty. I-Ic had shut up GOOO frogs in the troughs and buckets of the fish-market, and several children, who discovered his depot, set every one at liberty. The frogs, delighted with freeAlom, spread themselves in every direction. They entered the houses, and the inhabitants could not relieve themselves from their visitors, without considerable trouble and difficulty. Extract of a letter of the 17th November, written from Barcelona, by Sister Saint Vincent, to the Su perior of the convent of St. Camilla:—" What a horrible pest ! More than 16,000 persons have pe rished, and 100 die daily. The French physicians arc not spared, fur at this moment only one is able to walk (NI. Francois). M. Bally expects to be able to renew his labours in three or four days. They have courage and devotion that religion only could inspire. We hope to quit this place shout the 15th or 20th of this mouth, and undergo quarantine at the Abbey of St. Jerom, two leagues front the city, there we shall remain twelve days before we can reenter France. The country is magnificent. The beat is nearly the same. The fields arc covered with orange and pomegranate trees, bearing delicious fruit ; but the cities offer a spectacle of horror and desolation. You must see it to judge of the terrible effect. We meet nothing in the streets but coffins, and the Saint Viatique that they carry to the dying. The shops are closed, and all work suspended. It is piteous to see so much distress. We distribute to the utmost of our power the produce of a subscrip tion sent time France, which dues much good. Mi- TIIE :s:ATIONAL REGISTER,. wry of every-dekription is so prevalent, that the place is a valley of team" VIENNA, Nov. 11.—Extract from a private let ter.—The government seem to he without any authentic news front Greece. That which the Greek merchants of this city have received is quite uncertain. A letter from Skuleny (a frontier in Russian Res sarabil) of the 26th of October, relates an event rather doubtful. Captain J.)rolaica, said to have killed himself when they were conveying him pri soner to Constantinople, is arrived after a thousand dangers. The Russian troops and authorities have tweived hint with transports of joy. They add, that he was concealed in a village in the neighbour haul of the convent of Sacka, during the assault made by the Turks. On the other hanl we every day sec Turkish troops arrive in the principalities of Moldavia and Wallachia. The Russian troops upon the Pruth are estimated at 120,001) men, and the army of reserve, eantoned in Ukrania, at 200,000. This statement must he exaggerated--•why keep 320,000 men in a state of inactivity ? The official journal of the government of Kalinata (\lotcu) contains the following inlimuation : " Authentic letters from Galuxidi, of the 10th of September, confirm the defeat of the Turkish army marching against Bwtia and the l'elepenessus. 1 he defeat was near Thermhpyle. Four chas com manded the army." Nu RE II MIE no, Nov. 15.—The Correspondent of this day contains a letter from Prague, of which the following is the substance— " The hope lung cherished of seeing the Christian Powers of Europe sustain the cause of the unfortu nate Greeks, by other means than political measure:, has been considenibly weakened during some weeks. It is, however, thought by sonic, that the Secreta ries of Mahomet will not keep their faith with in fidels and that Russia will act in aid of the Greek Cause. According to letters from Patersburgb, the Rus sian government has strong reasons }Ur not entering into war with the Turks. BARCELONA, Nov. 7.—The Cordon established upon the road to France,at the village s of St. Andrew, about a league and a half from 13areclona, has been one scene of tumult and disorder, up to the present day; but the authorities have wade arrangements to stop it in future. The disturbance was 'occasioned by a vile medical man, nominated to attend at the cordon, This abo minable man, for gold, gave passports of health to infected persons. Ha has been arrested and thrown into prison, where he will meet the punishment due to his crime. The number of deaths in Barcelona have diminished. A mail arrived on Saturday from Rio Janeiro. with letters to the Rah of last month. One of the letters is dated on the day of the sailing of the packet, and announces that a conspiracy had been discovered in that city to separate the Brazils from Portugal, and to establish an Independent Government, at the head which the Prince Regent, with the title of King of Brazil, was to be placed. No other letters by the mail notice such an occurrence, neither as it credited by the merchants connected with Brazil.— The report is probably unfounded, though it is well known that the Brazilians have long been anxious to establish their independence, and the present they may conceive a favourable opportunity, as they have been deprived ut tie splendour of the court since it has been transferred to Lisbon, and the people are displeased at the circumstance. The Rio Janeiro bank still continued to experience the pressure caused by the departure of the King, and the Wl ure of their pr o jected lean in Europe, and, as a measure of expediency, they had issued two mil lions of reis in copper tokens, which they were making payments, often in whole bags of copper, without any proportion of gold and silver. No later account: relative to the state of affairs in Peru had been received ut Rio, than what have reached this country by way of Chili and Buenos Ayres. The fall of Lima was considered as certain, but it was reported that hostilities had not terminated with that event, Lucerne, the Viceroy, having retired into the interior with all the Spanish troops he could collect. An application is said to have been made by Monte Video and its dependencies, to be incorpo rated with the Brazils, under the name of the Pro vince of Cis-Plata. It is in vain for the Royalists to persist. The whole of South America must soon Le free, as the people are united, and the spirit of liberty has penetrated throughout the whole of the Southern Hemisphere. Sharp Practice.—We understand the collectors of the assessed taxes, have been instructed by the Board of Commissioners to distrait) upon all persons in arrcur lin taxes up to the last half year: and that it is the determivatill of the commissioners to en force the penalty of 201. against any collector that shall neglect to di charge his duty."

Kent, and Scotch coasts, besides which there was a great quantity left over from the markets of last week ; a great portion of what appeared was of an inferior quality, and which was only purchased for the purpose of mixing with the better qualities. There was but little demand, and the supply being so very large, the finc,t descriptions were from ls. ur xs., per quarter lower, and the interim., although offered at 3a. to 43. per quarter cheaper, obtained but few purchasers. The supply of Barley and Oats was also very large, the demand for each article was dull at u reduction of Is. per quarter. Beans and Peas, were dull, but not cheaper. The supply of Flour was very abundant, but the demand was not proportionate, and the price of the finest was Gus. CURKENT PILIC Per Winch(' :E8 OF Glt •Ater Measure MONDAY. S.
