THE NATIONAL TtEGISTER. of the !theme% of Europe %err broken by the unshaken resolution of the brave Germans. .FRENCH PAPERS. French Papers to the 19th instant were received yesterday. They contain the following speculations on the objects which now occupy the attention of the Congress at Vienna, and betray, the jealousy which the French, even under their present Government, still entertain against our naval supe riority " PA a is, OCT• 13.—Aecording to all accounts, one of the priacipal stipulations Much will be wade at ihe rotwress, will have for its abject the guarantee of public liberty in each tit the States of German;. With this view States-Gcn , ral Mill be organised, as well in those doutaite‘ which, aecordiog to their out constitutimi, ought to possess them, as in those which have never had them until now. The negociations art still enveloped in the most pr.( found tuptery ; it is however supposed, that in a tew days the public will be made acquainted with several iin• portent objects, which, it is saiii, are jolt decidrd. Ocr. 19 --It io sopposed that the basis of the law of nation', mbich aias de , troyed by Napol?on, will be established at the Congress ; Ilse principles which in time of war ought to regulate the conduct of the powers, relative to the safety of commerce and navigation, will be part;culi , ily determined on." By the laws of nations " which Napoleon had destroyed," and which we ate told the,Congiess will restore, it is not difficult to understand what the wrier means. Indeed, it is 3 evealett at the very close of the paragraph, where it is as serted that the nege&ators will settle the principles that are to regulate in time of war the conduct of Powers relative to the .woolty glcomnirree and aina•ciaalion." If any doubt rell1Rifl«1 respec?ine the applica it of this statement to our naval superiority, it would be entirely dispelled by the fol lowing paragraph, given, by way of elucidation, in another Paper : lr i• !.oped Ergtenti, having no longer to combat the man svho d a eaatineloal despotism, will ienoutice, on . er part, the iimeapok or maritime commerce." As it is to the unimpaired existence of our naval supre Tnaey that Europe owes her safety, and the power which she now possesses of fixing her own liberties and happiness, these is rip fear that her monatclis should he so blind to their own interests as to shake and overthrow their Palladium. Should the attempt be made, we must resist it, and as we have alteady done, disarm the hostility of the world by our rerseveranee and our courage. But we repeat it, the arts and jealousy of France will fail, and it is even doubtful whether she will be allowed to have a voice in the Congress, for the declination of the Einiet or of Russia " that no change shall be made in the Treaty of Pal is, which shall be executed .•ccordin2. - , to its form anti teno , ," seems to have been issued for the purrose of rendering the pi esence of a French negociator at the Congress useless. The Commission to which the proposed Law relative to the restitution Of Emigrant Property not sold, has been re ferred, have preseie ed their Report. Some amendments are proposed, and the discussion is to take place three days after the Report is presen!ed. The Gaeite Se France contains another of those articles which tend to prove that there arc parties, and by no means feeb!e ones, against the French Government. Paris Papers al rived Tuesday of the 14th instant. The principal article which they contain is a proclatnation, dattd BLlthid, the :;titli of I st month, authorising the Viceroy of Navarre, Count Espeleta, to cause ail the troops in the line of that province, and those adjoining, to march against Nina and his adherents.—There is a curious circular order Tiotieeel under the head of Madrid, by which all Archbishop* and Bishops are orderer: to retire from Court as speedily as possible. This looks as if even among the Clergy there were some N‘liose presence occasioned Ferdinand a little trouble. OCT. 23, The war or accusation and recrimination between the dif. ferent patties in France, begins to assume an acrimonius character. References are had to the former actions of the Revolutionists. Carnot's Memorial to the King h as prAuced a great sensation, though it is not allowed to be sold publicly copies of it. however, get into circulation, and the emigrants are represented to be particularly enraged against it. Carnot accuses them of haying produced much of the misery and mischief of the Revolution ; that their extravagance before the Revolution drained the finances and impaired the ',opt]. larity of the Government; that they were the•first to set the example of breaking down all respect for the king, by culing his simple and moral habits; that when he was sur rounded by difficulties and dangers which they had in a great measure produced, they left him to his fate, instead of rally. ing round his Throne, and perishing if necessary, in its ruins. Carnot complains too that the promises held out by the con stitutional charter have not been fulfilled, and that there has been nothing like oblivion of the past. The - consequence has been, that parties have again become active, bitter, and revengeful.—Whatever hay been the cause, it is but too true that a party spirit has again shewn itself in Paris, and with considerable virulence and force. Private letters assign as one cause of the revival of this spirit, the great quantity of religious ceremonies for events connected with the Revolu tion. These, by conveying an indirect censure, have given great offence to those who have played principal parts in the Revolution. The king of France has published an ordnance, founded upon the difficulties of the church," empowering Arch bishops and Bishops to establish seminaries in their respec tive dincees for the education of young men destined for the ecclesLatical state. The growing irreligion of France is, ac cording to all concurrent testimony, most fatal in its effects.— Suicide, which used to he considered as peculiarly the vice of Englishmen, has become in a much more marked degree that of the Ft ench ; and it is repo: ted, that scarce a night passes at Paris in which some miserable creature does not put an end to his mortal existence by drowning. himself in Cie Seine. The public are aware of the hal hour succours which the American ships of war obtain ft om the neutrality of the French pmts. We have one remedy wi!hin our reach, and we hope it will speedily he adopted. The po:ts of France ate open to us as well as the Americans. Let a Bri!ish ship of adequate forc be placed almonie of every American armed vessel in the harbours and waters of France, to sail when she shall sail, or as soon alter as the establ!shed regula tions will admit, and to attack her when she gets beyond the neutral bounds. A mail has arrived from Malta, which has brought letters from thence of Sist August, and we have advices through another channel from the Island to the 4th of last month but those are not so late by a week as those previously ob tained. There was some direct trade with the Ilavannah, and a much more extensive intercourse than was expected with Marseilles. Advices have reached us both from Smyrna and Con• stantinople, the da!es flom the fin - met to the 56, and from the latter to the 11th ult. The Exchange at Smyrna was and the place was free from all pestilential infection. The following is an extract of a letter fi om the Ottoman ca pital:— CONSTANTINOPLE, SEPT. 10.--No epidemic disease at present prevails in this city or its neighbourhood. A great mituy ships Wive arrived Item Russia (Odissa), with which the intercourse is now entirely open. A large quantity of iron has arrived, but very little corn.
