Trz Paris Papers of Wcaoesday hut have come to In the Chamber of Peers, the pooposition of the Mar quis de Barthelemy was adopted by a majority of 43. It roiv remains to see what the Ministers will do; whether t::cy will advise the creation of new Peers hostile to the a:.,lct of the measnre, or leave it to be extinguished by t:.c Deputies. The latter would certainly be the more cor—titutional course. it is a violent remedy, and a caagc:aus precedent, to augment a permanent body for tan take of a temporary object. Soue persons infer that there exists no intention of the Deputies; fur the Monilcur contains a 1'.(7a1 Ordinance convoking for the 25th instant, the I.:‘:;:toral Colleges of the Slur Departments whose rc. pc:.entation is imperfect. P We have just received New York Papers of the 3d tlt. They do not supply any very important intelli gence. In the Congrea, they were still occupied with the debate upon General Jackson's conduct. The General himself is at Washington ; where, it a2pears, 11017.0 discreet citizens wished to bestow upon him a public testimony of their admiration and approval of his proceedings. General Jackson, a little more discreet then his friends, declined this darinv, homage at a mo ment when the Legislature of his country was debating hcthcr he should W 4 be N . i.)/tci w i th p.uzialoactit. Tur, ISIVIIONAL REGISTLIt._ ' A Message has been received (rum the President, transmitting to Congress, the answer of the Treasury and War Departments, in reply to a Resolution re questing information respecting the laws in force in Amelia Island, St. Mark's and Pensacola, the revenue collected there, and its disposition. The Secreary of the Treasury says there has beca no revenue received from either of those places. 'cite Secretary at IVar says, that those ports are yet held, and gives en extract of a letter from A:ajor Bank head, commanding at Amelia, in which the Major states that he has appointed two Justices of the Peace, and has exacted imposts on importations, in order to prevent smuggling. These papers arc referred to the Com mittee on Foreign relations. Another Message was transmitted, in answer to a Resolution of the House, inquiring whether any agents of the Independent Provinces of South America bad been refused to be recognised by the Eseeutive ? The Secretary of State says, that Don Pains applied to be recognized as a public agent ; but his commission was signed by Mr. Clementini, in Philadelphia, and the Government could not sanction such a commission issued within its jurisdiction. Mr. Defutrest applied to be recognised as Consul General ; but the Govern ment could not receive him, as such an net would ac- Intewledge the independence of the Government of which Puerreydon was Supreme Director. A Dutch Mail brings an article from Brussels, dated the 27th nit. states, that the persons sent betbre the Supreme Court, on a charge of conspiring to carry off the Emperor of Russia, us a hostage for Bonaparte, in tended to effect their purposz by the assistance of a body of 500 French military men on half-pay; and it is added that the lunatic plot was di. covered by the number of circular letters sent to assemble the party. The King of Wirteroberg, it it said, has consented to invoke the States of the Kingdom. The intelligence from Tanis is most alarming; 300 penults are carried off daily by the plague, which prevails in every quarter of that Regency. All Swedish vessels, arriving from Spain, Portugal, and the parts of the Mediterranean, must sail with black flags until they have performed quarrantine. Com plaints are loud at Aiz.ia-Chapele, on account of the decline of commerce, occasioned by the prohibition of importation into Brabant, France, and Italy. The little manufacture that is carried on, is done by ma chinery ; which, it is said, has reduced a thousand fa milks to usisay, and in consequence of which robberies have increased to an alarming degree The impnrts of Bullion lately from tho Continent are most extensive : a week, nine casks of specie from Holland, and two from Ostend, are reported at the Custom house ; a great proportion is reported to be Gold. It is stated, that, from the late high price of Bullion in England, the Jews have found it very lucre• tive to import the coin of the Continent, and melt it in England. Dollars, which lately were Ss. Sid, per mince, have fallen to ss. 61 ; Gold from 41. Ss. per ounce to 41. Is. 63. A letter from Madrid contradicts the rumour of Can. Elio having been disgraced by the Spanish Government; which is said, on the other hand, to have loaded him with honours; Ferdinand himself acknowledging to this General, that he has ken twice indebted to him for his Crown. Eighty individuals, many of them dis tinguished by rank and services, had been seized at Valencia when tlic post came away; and the number liable to arrest througloat Spain, from a supposed con flexion \vial the :,r..ae plot, amounted to the claming number of 4700 pen.ons. A letter from Dzintlies says i—We are sorry to state, tliat so • great is the mortality at :present in this town from the prevailing fever, and otbcr causes, that no leis than 70 funerals have taken place since the commence ment of the present year—a number truly alarming and unprecedented." An Ambassador from the Dcy of Algiers to the Court of Great Britein, limiag performed the necessary quarrantine at a port it the Mediterranean, is now on his way to this country. his arrival is daily expected. Sir G. Cockburn dots tint retire from the Admiralty. The appointment of Sir G. Clerk takes place in the room of the Marquis of Worcester, a Lieutenant of the army on half-pay. The Lord 11111, Op'ey, of Dover, was lost on Wed nesday morning, at two o'clock, off Boulogne, and the whole on hoard drowned.

Mr. Ju•tice Park addressed the Grand Jnituca at great length, and nearly in the follow.u. , terms : " Gentlemen of the Grand Jury,—We iL.Zhere bled his (ley to discharge one of the most important duties which pertains to civilised society, by the nistratien of justice. It is, in fact, a duty which, il• impartially and Li:litany performed, will have the due effect of proving a tenor to wicked doers while it tviil also be a security to the upright and the inn cent, as subject matter ofesarnple and p:utection. In appear ing beforeyou, however. thr the fiat time in ►his cutout y, I lament tint, I ,hearld have presented to my nutica, so henry a calen tar of prisoners; I tuft in a couati too which has hitherto been disti.i,ol4l , .t.l tiT its m:rals, and the gmteral correctness et arid po pulation. Ido nut mean to say LIU tile careadar pre sents any thing shocking even now; bat recol,ect, ail crimes are serious, and we who, ore entrusted with the exercisa of jurisprudence, must lum.nt even the must trifling addition to offence There;is one crone, howevcr upon which I wish to animadvert, and I do not du it in order to influence you, t God forbid') bat rather to ad. dress it to the It-altitude who hear mc. I allude to the crime of sheep-stealing, practised of late kit) 6 enerally, and indeed almost wholesale, thretN;liout the county. This is a crime which in my opinion, demands the most exemplary punishment of the law, because such pee. perty from its nature must be exp,rsod ; a .d the law, therefore, is the protection of that property, to when:- sourer it belongs. In counties where 1 have had the honour to preside as I now do here, I found the offence of sheep stealing to have been carried, on as I before and, almost wholesale, and in several instances the law took its dreadful course upon the oanders In this place the same effect must pursue the crime, fur toe law still continues to inflict its desperate extremity, until the offence of which I am speaking is eradicate - .!. I have not, Gentlemen, gone so minutely into a acted of all the offences in the calendar, because in some in. stances there have been wit , .ting the depositions taken before the Magistrates. This inconvenience, however, if time would' permit, might readily be obviated, by ti:e ample attendance of the Magistrates themselves here this day.; There is a circumstance, however, cotinectrsl with the business of the Magistracy, which I feel my self bound to advert to, and that is, that in making out the commitment of prismters, by the Clerks of the Ma gistrates, it is done in too general a way. I will not point out a particular instance of this nature in the ca. landar now before rue, but merely state, that the cm• mitrnut of prisoners et all times should be clear and specific. I should dismiss you, Gentlemen, with these few observations, but a subject presses itself upon are, which I feel it my bounden duty to present to your se rious notice. It is a subject which at present engages much of the public attention, and of ilia Le-islatire in particular. I allude to the State of and of tours: to the prison of Hartford more particularly. Unfortu nately for you, I understand this is crowded at the prr; sent moment to a dreadful state, and ineupolde of ai fording that room and accommodation - which are so es sentially no. - essary in a prison. This, however, can be no fault vith the Magistracy, or the county generall:', who could never have fbreseen or expected that increase of crime which would have thus hided the gaol wits wretebed inhabitants. The subject of gaols, Geatle mea, as I said before, has matte u considerable noise. but I must confess, that having read, heard, and consi. sidered all which has yet been adduced, or winch eve could be thought of by the philanthropist upon the r.r..2. Oct, I do think that the Legislature has most s ew provided is remedy for alrucst, every c :11 which I
