PARIS, FEB. 3.—On Sunday, when Prince Carignan went to take leave of 'the King, his Majesty decorated him with the cordon bleu, and invited him to dinner, The Prince ap peared at dinner the same day decorated with the cordon, which he bad received in the morning, and the epaulets of a French grenadier. His Royal Highness set out yesterday morning, and will arrive at Turin on Saturday. The Moniteur in its non-official part contains the follow ing paragraphs : MADRID, January 22.—The Gazette of to-day contains the royal decree,granting a pension of I,SOO reals per inmth to the mother of Theodore (ioilleu, with the reversion to her daughters. The same journal contains also various promotions of different persons who have given proofs of their attachment to the Royal cause. The Royalist General, known by the name of Loch°, before returning to his home, addressed to the soldiers of his division a proclamation, in which he recommends them. when they return to the bosom of their families, to show themselves always faithful to the Monarch. and to be on their guard against the intrigues of the faction which they have conquered ; and at the same time to be obedient to the authorities lawfully established. The Restaurador of to-day contains a letter froin my° (Old Castile) which states that the commander-in chief of the Royalist volunteers in that little town has already succeeded in organizing, as well as in the other communes of his arrondissement, 3,000 of those volunteers, armed and equipped, who will shortly be the firmest trip port of the 'I Irrone and tl.e Altar, as they are already the terror of Jacobinism. All the Royalist soldier', who, in consequence of the decree of the 14th of Deceniber, have asked for their discharge, have received a months pay; and those who have not asked their discharge arc sent to the depots, to form the skeletons of the new regiments which to be or , sized . are to organ..

Several good purchases were made, and it now seems that the fear which prevailed that Consols would have a great fall Las in a great measure subsided, as scarcely any persons are at the Bank this morning to make transfers.

By a decree of his Majesty, Don Ignacio d e Erpiala has been appointed Intendant of the province of Salamanca. New York Papers to the 13th of January, with files of others from various parts of the United States, have reach ed us this morning, of which the following are extracts : (FROM TIIE RICHMOND PAPER OP JAN.S.) From Demerara, we are informed, says the Norfolk Herald of 2d Jan., by Captain Bell, that the commotion which had been excited in Demerara, had not been entirely allayed, but considerably subsided. The Flag denoting that Martial Law still prevailed, was yet flying when he sailed, Dee. 5.

THE KING. BRIGHTON, THURSDAY, Fen. 5. The answer to enquiries at the Palace to-day is a pleasing repetition of that of yesterday:— " His Majesty continues better." CLERICAL PREEERSIENTS.—The Deanery of Christ Church, Oxford, has just been conferred on T)r. Smith, the late Canon of Christ Church, in that University. The Rev. Stephen Slade has received the appointment of Dean of Chiches•er, in Sussex; and we understand that the Dean of Chichester is to be removed' to Gloucester. The Bishop of Uloacester, probably, therefore goes to Lichfield. The Dean of Chichester, Dr. Bethel, was tutor of the Duke of Northumberland. We rejoice to learn (says the Brighton Gazette), that it is in contemplation to send out a large Rcclesiastical Establish ment to the West Indies, with two Bishops at its head, whose Sees will be named from ►he Islands of Barhadoes and Jamaica. The plan, we have reason to believe, will be subtuitted to Parliament in the course of the ensuing week, and if (of thick there can be no clonlit) it FIIOUIII meet with the concurrence of the Legislature, steps will be immediately taken to carry it into effect. Sir John Si neon, one of the Masters in the Court of Chan eery, died on Wednesday mornirg; this. therefore, has created a vacancy ; and another vacancy was created by the appoint ment of Nit-. Alexander to be Chief Baron. The Office of Receiver-General in the different Revenue Departments in I reland is in he dispensed with, and all remittances made to the Bank of Ireland. A paragraph having appeared in several of the Papers, under the head of " Havre," purporting to be a letter from that place, and stating that a Culotiel O'Cal'agban, first aidede-Carnp to General Mina, was there, and chartering a vessel, whicli was to proceed with the General to America, we are desired to say that the whole is a wanton and ridi culous fabrication. We are further authorized to add, that General Mina does not even know, by name, the individual who has thus obtruded himself on the public notice.— (Morning Chronicle.) On Thursday last (29th ult.) at the animal dialler of the Society for the benefit of the Sons of the Clergy, Lord Measlownank, in proposing from the chair the health of the King, at the same time communicated to the Society, that he had received authority from Mr. Secretary Peel, to declare his Majesty's royal intsgition to give 1001. in aid of the fends of that most excellent institution.—(Edin burgh paper) A circumstance occurred lately in Paris which merits notice, inasmuch as it shows the anxiety of at least one branch of the French Royal Family to preserve something like respect for this country. The Heelless de Berri gave a soiree, which was concluded by a dramatic piece called " Les Anglaise' pour sire," which is a sharp satire upon the customs and manners of the English. When the King heard of this circumstance, he sent for the Duchess tie Berri, and insisted upon her malting an apology to Sir Charles Stewart, for the insult which she hail put upon the English character. The Duchess unionstrated, but was obliged to yield, and the apology was niade accord ingly. Sir Charles, on receiving it, said her Royal Highness was unnecessarily concerned on this subject, fur that neither personally nor as the Representative of a great nation, slid such trifles ever dwell in his mind. A story is current that a forgery of a power of attorney to sell stuck to the amount of twenty-six thousand pounds, has been committed at the Bank, but it is untrue. The mistake arose from the circumstance of a stockholder hav ing granted two powers of attorney to sell stock for dif ferent amounts to two different individuals, one of which was at first suspend to lie a forgery, but on inquiry proved to be peat.. tly regular.—(Moraieg Paper.) It is a curious fact, that in consequence of orders re ceived from Madrid, the officer in Estretnadura entrusted with the organisation of the new army, in a placard which he posted up on the walls in Badsjoz, stated, that as his Majesty could no langer trust to Ilse existing army, he was induced to invite his faithful subjects to enlist in the new corps about to be formed. As soon as the con'ents of these placards were known to the French Commander, he ordered one of his Officers to pull them all down. Letters from Estreinadnra mention that there is a Guerilla party of 100 men in the Province, which lately entered Zafra, a rich town of about 1,000 inhabitants, where they levied a contribution, and remained for several days. The Commander's name is Coello, formerly a superior Officer of Cuirassiers. In the neighbourhood of Badsjoz there is also another Guerilla party of tao men, costirnavd d by Seller, a well known personage. The French have been unable to pursue these parties in consequence of the want of cavalry, as they have only with them in Bad sjoz the 35th regiment and a company of cavalry. In several parts of Spain there are also other Guerilla parties moving shout, which bid defiance to all authority emanating from the King. All of them are well mounted, and their paitisans increase. • The Right Honourable the Lady Mayoress gave, last night, a Dail and Supper at the 'Mansion House, to a party of two hundred ladies and gentlemen. The supper was served up in the first style of elezance,and the company did not separate till an early hour this morning. The Court of the Worshipful Company of Fishmongers gave, yesterday, an elegant dinner to upwards of fifty per sons of distinction, amongst whom were Aldermen Wood, and Thompson, Joseph ittler, M. P., &c. &c. The first course consisted of soup and fish only, but the fish was of every description in season. The greatest conviviality prevailed among the party on the occasion, nor dig they seperate till near twelve at night. rile ARMV.—It is said, that Lieut.-General Sir G.

SIR FREDERICK FLOOD, BART. (PROM[ TOE DUBLIN EVENING POST.) We lament to state that this distinguished charader is no more. At six o'clock on Sunday evening, the first in stant, terminated the long and useful life of this wort! y Baronet, not more known than lamented. Sir Fred.rilk Flood was Custoe Rotaloran of the County of Wexford, which County he represented in the Imperial Parka. men', as long as he found it convenient, at his advan ced period of life, to engage in the arduous duties of a Statesman. He also sat in the Irish House of Com mons during three successive Parliaments. In each house lie maintained that dignity and independence of cha racter, which he was so remarkable for in every station of life. As a grand Juror of the Counties of Wezfor I and Kilkenny, he evinced that integrity, honor, and lioneity which so much belong to that important office. In att'fiis intercourse with the wxrld, which was indeed extensive, his great ambition was to benefit mankind. Wine sound Lawyer, and of strongly gifted understanding his advice was courted by all who had the pl.asure of acquaintance, and teed) , given, which will cause his d. si to be severely felt, even by those who were not connec e d by the ties of consanguinity. In all the relati.ns o f private life he was exemplary in fultiling the sever,) that devolved upon him. As a landlord, lie was kind and indulgent ;as a friend, warm and zealously attached. In 6 ne, he was charitable and benevolent to all, and will ht regretted by all. SirFr.dericit Flood was the descendant of John Flood. F.: q. of Flood Hall, County of Kilkenny. He married, first, Lady Juliana Annesley, sister of 'he late Earl of Mountnorris, who died without issue; he afterwards married Frances, daughter of the Right Hon. Sir Henry Cavendish, Bart., of Doteridge HMI, Derbyshire, by whom he has left one child, (Frances, wife of John Herward -lesson, Esq. of Doory Hall, County of Longford, and York Place, Portman Square, London), to whom he has bequeathed the whole of his real and pascals! property. ALLIANCE WITH AMERICA. (FROM THE BALTIMORE PAPER OP JAN. 6.) We wait with more than curiosity the disposal of that motion in Congress, calling on the President to lay befure that body any information in his possession relative to an overture made by the British Government to form an of fensive and defensive Treaty with our own, against the ambitious deidgns of the Holy Alliance. It is time that this rumour, if not founded on fact, should be put to rest; but that there has been some intimation given, if not a regular overture made, we should Judge from the com plexion of the President's Message itself. l i (twat Pile MERCANTILE ADVERTISER.) A rumour has reached us from Washington, not unwor thy of notice. The rumour is, that several intervieus between Mr. C..nning and Mr. Rush has taken place, on the subject of an offensive and defensive alliance ; but nothing htd passed in the shape of formal and specific propositions. It is said, Mr. Canning wished to sound Mr. Rush, to as certain what were the precise sentiments of the American Liovernment, and that the answer of our minister was, that he could not speak decidedly, hot be was ready to transmit any proposal made by the English Ministry to his Go vernment.Thinzs remained in this state to the last advices. —(liallinsorc Morning Chronicle.) The doubts we have always entertained of the sincerity of that Ministerial neutrality, now so much the boast of th• thy, are far, it seems, from being conned to ourselves.— In the debaie of Wednesday, Colonel Palmer delivered an opinion in the House of Commons, directly accusing the Ministers of insincerity in their professions of neutrality. " What," said the Hon. Member, " had been the measures " of the Right Honourable Gentleman to oppose France " and the holy Alliance, up to the total destruction of " Spanish Liberty, by the fell of Cadiz? Nothing what• 1" ever bat intemperve abuse of their conduct, and a posi- " tive declaration of strict neutrality. This was cot a 4; lanixotistn most certainly, nor did he (Colonel Palmer) " know a parallel to such conduct in history or romance; the only resemblance he could find to it was in " the case of the bite atrocious murder, wherein " the Holy Alliance was the bald villain who went " straight to his purpose, s bilst the Right lion. Gent. was " the humane and consistent accomplice, who, after " furnishing the rope and sick, resolved, come what may, " to have no share in the transaction ; for precisely with 44 the same feelings that this miscreant had hung hack, " whilst the deed was prrpetr sting, so the Ministers of Eng " land who had gone hand in hand with their accomplices " in their plot against liberty for the last thirty years, now "stood aloof, while their victim was expiring under the "blows of his assassins," Such are the views of Colonel Palmer on the suhject of Slinisterial neutrality, and we believe of a vast majority of the people of these kingdoms. Nor, indeed, can it be otherwise ; for what despot for the last thirty years, whose insolence and power have been in the l e ast jeopardy from the awakened spirit of liberty in Europe, who has not been succoured and subsidised by the •English Government ? On the other hand, what people, during the same period, have made any attempt to reduce the despotic power of their op. pressive rulers, that ever once received the least countenance or support from the English Ministry ? The case of Spain is exactly in point, and may be taken as a fair specimen of Mi nisterial neutrality. When Buonaparte attempted the subju gation of that country to his power, England appeared in the van to oppose his career, and by an immense expenditure of blood and treasure, saved the Spaniards from his yoke.— Here was active, spirited, acd resolute assistance rendered to .Spill In, which terminated in placing the Beloved•Ferdinatiel in the possession of absolute power. This non-deseript being, who seems to be in himself a singular epitome of all that is weak, worthless awl base, soon set up a tyranny, compared with which, the sway of Napoleon was n ad, free, and rational. The Cortes were at last obliged to clip their beloved's wings, and establish a free constitution. To this settlement England assented, and was therefore, bound in honour to prevent its violation. What was the result? A new struggle arose, to restore once more the legitimate Fer dinand todespotic power, and in this, the day of their trial, the Spaniards appealed to England, expecting her aid in the sacred cause of freedom and justice. What was the answer of the English Cabinet to the urgent supplications of Spain ? Why, though we think tl:e armed interference of France, a most unjustifiable aggression—though our revenue is flourishing and our wealth overflowing, we are determined for the first time these thirty years, to remain neutral, and leave you to fight it out yourselves.
