FRE,VCII PAPERS. ........... PARIS, Nov. 16. The King yesterday heard mass in his apart ments, and subsequently transacted business with the Minister for Foreign Affairs. The Count De Cazes waited on. Monsieur and the Duke of Angouleme i n . the day before yesterday, but it was remarked that his interview with their Royal Highnesses was but for a moment. The audience which he had of the King was, if possible, even shorter. . A little pamphlet has been puLlisbod; entitled, " Project of an Act of Accusation against M. De l'azes." It is a compilation of all the charges that have been urged by all parties against this4linister. The sum of grievances is very heavy, but we shall abstain from noticing them, lest we might expose ourselves to• a charge of wanting generosity. We should much rather find them justified, but on thin point we have some regrets to offer. To justify this Minister for his-past actions is a task NO difficult, that we know not whether there be five or six men is all prance so hardy as to undertake to do it. We arc assured that the Ministers have caused some writers of the Minerve and Constilutionel to be proceeded against according. to law, fur having en deavoured to excite alarms respecting the stability of the property cilled national, by publishing that this species of property was threatened by a change of 'Ministry, which, depends upon the constitutional rights of his Majesty. _ _ _ MENTZ, Nov. 10. _ _ _ In the first sitting of the Central Commission of Investigation, the documents•relative to the affair of Satoh were submitted ; as also different papers re.- lative to invcstietions which have taken place in several states of the Germanic Confederation. ROME; Nov. 1. For some weeks.. a. sp e cial commission has been occupied in making inquiries into the financial con dition of the state of the church, and into the abuses which may occur in it. Notwithstanding the high integrity of Cardinal Guerrieri, former treasurer, some of the persons employed: under him have oo cnsed him of having defrauded•the State in au extra ordinary. manner.. Cardinal Gaspari has been provisionally intrusted. with the Department of Finance.. The Jesuits, in pursuance. of the statutes of their order, declare themselves heirs to the late King Charles Emmanuel. who died a member of their order; but the Sardinian Minister has despatched a courier to his Court to request instructions upon this matter. In the mean time, t 1..; property }MO Iseq placed under seal. DRESDEN. Nov. 4.

INSURRECTION AT SANTA ALIUII.4. Extract of a lettcr.d.t'ctl Corfu, October 7 " The systeils of taxation which now prevails in these islands, and which is becoming daily more burdensome, has for some time been a subject of serious aprreii , nsion with those w'm are acquainted 1 . • ith their atl:tirs, aod know :he nature and extent of their resource.. The extraordinary expences at tending various *mkt-takings, such as tha election of a new u•;: t;n. the Lord High Commissioner, the exo:ldtant salaries I. , ,ranted to the munbers of the sets,te and the legislative body, together with the new appointments created by Sir Thomas so greatly exceed the regular revenues of these buttes, tittt it has become neccssiry to devise extra ordinary i»eastires for supplying the deficiency. The new conhtit talon having given Sir 'FhoinaA Niaithind n direA influence and control in the nomination of ;he print rtl foncticriaries, the propositions emana tmg from his Excellency exix.rience but little re f:stance on the part of the legislative assembly, dim imsed; WI the deputies obvionkly arc, to .support all jarojeets tendi.g to fill the public chest from whence tileir ivilaries are derived. " Iv . addition to the ordinary sources of revenue, the Government daily resort to new taxis. In Sep- tetuber last, an impost was laid on the flocks and herds, which are very numerous in the mountain ous parts of Santa MAIIII, Cephalonia, anti Zante. 'Fite experiment of. this finoocial. measure having becn mule on the 4 .1 rs t of these islands, the country people remonstrated with the local authorities; but before redress could be obtained, an insurrection began in the village of Sfachiotes, and soon spread through the rest of the island ; the people opposed the collectors of customs, whose chief, Sig. Siciliano, was.killed.: Military force having been sent from the garrison, the non contents on the 3d inst. pro ceeded towartl3 the city. Major Stovin, the M ush Commandant, with part of the garrison. took up a position on th e hill th a t commands u the main road, with a view to protect the town ; and on the approach of the enemy, a regulars action took place, in which it is said that 13 men were killed, and several wounded on both sides. Major Stovin having . retired with his detachment to the fortress, in order to secure it, the country-people entered the town, and assailed and burnt- the houses of those persons who were known to have supported the new tax. Sir Thomas Maitland being absent fri.m the islands when the news of the affair reached Cor fu, Sir Frederick Adam sent 330 men, with artil lery, to Santa Maura. This reinforcement not proving sufficient, a second was sent in haste, and hopes are entertained that with its-assistance the insurrection will be:quelled. • There- are some apprehensions that the same spirit may manifest itself in other islands, particu larly in Zante and Cephalonia, the inhabitants -of which might make a stand in their mountains for a• long titre. 16 that case our situation-would become very critical, as the British forces are as present hardly adequate to the garrison duty of this and the other fortified places in the island: and .in conse quence•of the existing system of administratitin in this country the majority of the natives can no lon ger be-depended on."

LOlOOll. - SUNDAY, 'NOVEMBER 21. German Papers arrived last nighs. The persc. cutions against the Jews seem not to have yet ter. minted.' Accounts from Copenhagen- say, tgat very serious disturbances brote out at Elsineur eIL the same day as at Copenhagen, and that the pope law-threatened .to exterminate all the Jews if they did not hasten their ticiparture as soon as possible. • Russia is said to be mak i ng rapi.l 'strides towards the estabiishinent of a liavul power. The number of her ships of war• is.conrinually increasing. The Paris Papers convey the satisfactory assur ance, that the epidemic malady which ravages -An dalusia begins at length to decrease. It appears by the extracts they communicate faint . the Madrid Papers of the 4th of November, that the mortality in Cadiz had. diminished iu the proportion. of one fourth within the space of ten days, Sod that the • number of sick, which amounted on the 18th el October to no less than 13,338 persons, did not at the 28th exceed 6,960. In Seville the malady seemed also to have abated some of its virulence, and although its ravages had somewhat extended themselves in Puerto Santa Maria and Xeres de la Funtera, hopes are entertained that the fever has passed itserisis, and that the.province of Andalusia wil? soon be-restored to its usual health. The King .of France appears to have happily overcome his late indisposition, but it is not inti meted whether his Majesty will open the Session of the Legislative Chambers in person or by Commit-. shin. The Society called th•,2 Friends to the Liberty of the Press, appear to have excited in an extreme degree the hostility of the Ministers. They are no longer permitted to hold their meetings in a publi,;•numner,..and the Ministers seem resolved to invade the sacredness of private residence to complete their destruction. For this purpose they caused General Tarayec, at whose house the Society occa sionally held their meetings, to be summoned before the Age d'lA.siruction, Freparatory to a criminal process against the members of the Society ; but the General reposed 'upon the Charter, and he refused to answer questions which were not authorised by its provsions. No intimation is given that. the members of the Society have in any respect forgotten the duty they owe to their Sovereign and country. It is, therefore, strange, that the present Ministers of France, to whose exertions liberty is much in debted, should wish to persecute any individuals merely for their attachment to a free Press. Citems the bookseller on Tuesday received the_ judgment of the Court of King's Bencb, after an ineflectual exertion on he part - of his Counsel, Mr. Denman, to extend to , him the benefits of the sta tute of the 9th and 10th of William If F. enacted fin the protection and benefit of Laitarians. The sentence of the • Court was promince.l severally upon the two offences of which he has been con victed. For the first offence, the publication of " The Age of Reason" he was sentenced to pay a fine of 1,0001. and to be imprisoned in Dorchester gaol fur the space of two years ; for the second of. fence, the publication of " Pahner's Principles of Nalure," he was sentenced to pay a fine of 500 1 ... and to be imprisoned in the swot gaol tior the space of one year, and. at the expiration of th:se three years, to give securities for his good behaviour for life, himself in 1,0001. and two sureties in 1001. each. The moderate nature of this sentence enhances in our estimatims the character of the Judges who de liberated tlult it ; although the grossly oirendcd NOT 9:1 ,~
