I °MOIL SUNDAY, nEPTEMBER 26. We have received Paris Papers to the 22d inst. The aceouchenient of thelluchess of Berry took place the preceding day: her Royal Highness was deli vcr4.4 of a daughter, so that, by the Saliquc law, the SEPT. Ca. French throne is without a .3uccessur us yet in the reigning branch. The King is sufficiently recovered to be ena. bled to resume his daily rides for the benefit of his health. It is announced in the Lenseur, that the celebrated Madame Manson has obtained, through the interest of Count Decazes, a pension of 1,000 francs for herself, and a. fellowship fur her son in a College ! We never heard of a pension so ill be. stowed, or so great a misapplication of the public money.—An article from Genoa intimates, that some unpleasant circumstances had taken place be.. tween some English and Spanish ships cruising on the Valencia coasts, which required the interposition of the English Consul in the first instance, and in consequence of their recurrence, had induced the British Minister to dispatch his Secretary to the Spanish Court. The existence of the yellow fever in the Isle of Leon is now officially admitted by the Spanish Government, but its effects are denied to have been serious at Cadiz, while Seville was exempt from it, and the army arc stated to be in excelleat health. The pestilence, from various accounts, seems to be even of a worse description than the yellow fever. The King of Sp:tin has granted to General Ilore, who destroyed M'Gregor's expedition at Porto Bello, the Grand Cross of the Royal American I Order of Isabella the Catholic. General Bore is an Irishman. llamburgh and' Dutch mails arrived on Frida::, with iettelligence to a recent date. The King of Prussia, on the fith instant, visited Prince Blucher at Kriblowitz, whither he had sent his Physician, Dr. Wiebel, to prescribe for the illustrious warrior. His Majesty passed some time by the sick bed of the Prince, and in the most cordial manner expressed his sorrow at his illness, and his hopes of a speedy recovery ; to which the venerable hero. though ex.. pressing some doubts of his recovery, replied with every sign demotion and gratitude. The Duke of Cumberland on the 13th arrived at Hanover...— Tranquillity has been restored at Copenhagen: Unlike certain would-be soldiers, whom we could name, it is stated, that " not to shed uselessly the blood of Danish subjects, who were for a moment misled, the troops fired upon the rioters with blank cartridges " Four of the ringleaders have been con. demned to the Bridewell of the House of Correc tion. The examination of sotne others arrested still continued. There have- been similar excesses at Odense, the principal town of Fuhem, which were suppressed by the well disposed citizens, with the aid of the military, and the ringleaders were arrest ed. Accounts from Constantinople state, that up to the 10th ult. numerous executions of mutinous Janissaries still continued. Some fled, and others had concealed themselves. The severity of the Cap. tale Paella had several times placed his lice in jeopardy. once he was fired nt on a landing place, hut the two persons were immediately seized and strangled on the spot. The plague was raging at Constantinople, and was said to be of the most ma lignant kind. The Dotterel, of 18 guns, Captain:John Gore, is arrived front the St Helena station.

Front thoday he heisted his flag as Commander-in-chief of the Chilian navy, till the day of his sailing, he not only abstained from eyery.act for which the difficulty of manning his 'night have a/Eh:tied a pretence, but actually rendered every possible assistance whiclicould have been expected funn our own ships of war; and we know of no instance where any seamen were allowed to enter for his squadron, contrary to the wishes of their employers; but, in several cases, men who had volunteered, and actually received a bounty, were given up on •the first appli cation.
