On Friday we received the Paris Papers of Tues day last, from which we give the following ex tracts:— PARIS, JUNE 15.—Tke Journal (.14.s Drles, itt allud ing to the arrival of Savary (the Dule of Ruvigii) iu Englatnl,•asks, why he does not come to France, as the present Ministers would give him a welcome and a peerage. It is said that the Princess of "%Vales is to leave Pee eln, for Rome, and that she will there occupy the palace MADRID, ; iO,ll 3.-I'he greatest activity prevails at Cadiz in equipping the fleet. Already 124 transport vessels have collected in that port, and they are laying its previsions. On St. Ferdinand's day, the edict on the Prohibition of books was published in all the churches of Madrid. The works prohibited by this decree are to the number of 40, and are divided into three classes. In the first class are included those prohibited even so be real by persons to whom the Holy Office grants private license or permission to read prohibited books. They amount to ten, among which are an " Essay on In s:ruction in general, and on the Study of Islithesuatics in particular ;" " The History of the Inquisitions of tipaitt and Portugal," by Joieph Leveller, be. The second class • comprehends those prohibited in tam to all who lisve not a license, among which are the "An nals of the Inquisition," by I.lorente, Scc. In the third elm. are three works whose revision is ordered. Tll4 NATIONAL IU4GJOTAR, We insert from the German Papers an interesting artlcle'on the progressive decay and actual ruin of the establishments of the Spanish monarchy : :MADRID, JUNE Since the time when Ferdi nand anti Isabella began n• create in Spain a military marine, it never has been in so deplorable a slate as it is, at this moment. lit order to form an exact idea of the state of things, we must go back to the year 1796, when King Charts' IV. had the inconceivable weakness to conclude an offensive and defensive alliance with the French Republic ; it is from that instant that all the misfortunes of our navy are to he dated. It was then composed of 85 ships of the line, 01 which 20 carried float 80 to 130 guns. Sixty were actually in commis sion, and most of the rest capable of being repaired. The infantry of the marine consisted of Is battalions, each of 1,000 men ; and the artillery of 20 brigades, making 3,000 men effective. The 3 military posts of Cadiz, Carthagena, and Ferrol, had immense docks, ar senals, and maga:it:es, amply furnished with every thing necessary for the service of the navy. Those of La Car. rata, in particular, were admired by all strangers who visited them. Our alliance with France, and the unjust invasion, which was one of the fatal cousequenees of it, have destroyed every thing. Our luny has been annihi lated, our aricuals are empty, and' there is not timber sufficient iii the arsenal to build four ships of war. The infantry and artillery of the marine have been employed in the defence of the country, and no thing remains of those tine corps but the miserable wrecks. The department of Ferrol received front Na varre excellent oak timber for die oat y ;• those of Cadiz and Carthage•na found the same resource in the four kingdoms of Andalusia : now those fine forests may he said to be annihilated. The island of Cuba furnished a great quantity of cedar, which was employed at La Carraca. This resource has now failed, because we have not the means of conveyance: and the privateers who infest the seas render it still more difficult. On the other hand, the Dutch brought us from the North, masts, hemp, and other articles. These arriials have become very rare. Thus, by a series of unhappy cir cumstances, the Spanish navy is in a state of ruin, which .it will be very difficult to repair. Hence the Govern ment has been obliged to apply to Russia for some ves sels for the great expedition. Unhappily this assistance has nut answered the expectations that were formed of it : these vessels, in spite of all the rep.lirs they have undergone, are very ill built. Such are the causes which have delayed fur above a year the departure of thf grand expedition for South America. Posterity will hardly believe, that the armament of a squadron has cod more trouble, labour, and embarrassment, than would base sufficed, 20 years ago, to send fifty ships of the line and thirty frigates from our ports." Thursday being appointed for the celebration of the Birth day of His Royal Highness the Prince Regent, a Drawing Room was held at Buckingham house by Her Royal Highness the Princess Augusta, assisted by her Royal Brothers and Sisters.—This being the first Drawing Room since the death of her late Majesty, it was more numerously attended than usual. Among the company at the Drawing room were, the Duke of Bcdfinll, the Duke of Grafton, the Mar quis of Lansdowne, Earl Grosvenor, and Sir Francis ISurdett. The utility of Drawing-roems, in giving encou ragement to our manufactures, will induce the Prince Regent, we hope, to hold them as often as convenient, particularly at a period when our trade is so much depressed, and many industrious indivi duals are in want of employment. On Friday Baron Fogel, the Ambassador from the Court of the Netherlands, had an audience of the Princeßegent at Carlton-house. Count Woronzoff was introduced to the Regent, by the Russian Ambassador, upon his arrival in England. The Hon. Charles Begot was also introduced to His Royal Highness, upon his arrival in Englund. Advises from Jamaica, of the 21st April, men tion, that Lord Cochrane's force in the south Seas, consists of 4(1 armed vessels of different descriptions. The Andromache frigate, Captain Sheriff, has sailed from Lima, with u considerable freight fir the Brazils. Neither I louse of Parliament met on Thursday, in consequence of the Drawing-room at Bucking ham Parliament is expected to be prorogued the third week in July, by the Prince Regent in person. Marshal Soult, whose name is erased from the list of n miles, arrived on Thursday se'nnight at Paris. It is aid its Wands to return to his country JUNE 20. sent, situated between Versailles and St. Cloud, and !to live very retired A requisition has, it is said, been signed and pre_ rented to the Lord Mayor, for calling a Common► hall, to petition Parliament to adopt such measures of retrencluneitt as will prevent the necessity of im posing new taxes. The Rev. W. Gurney, M.A. Rector of St. Cle ment Dane's, in the Strand, is appointed a Domestic Chaplain to his Royal Highness the Duke of Kent. On Sunday last Sir Si;mucl Shepherd, the Lac Attorney-General, left town to enter upon the du ties of his new appointment as Lord Chief Baron of Scotland. The Bamnetage of the late Sir Edward Yate, of Kent, which has long remained in abeyance, is now claimed by Walter Honywood Yate, esq. of Gloms tershire, us the lineal heir of the Yate family.

It appears that the Ex-Empress Maria Louisa approached the gates of Rome with the Emperor of Austria, but did not enter the city. She was pre vented, it is stated, by some " scandalous occur. rences contrived by the Liberals" at Bologna, when ske was there with the Emperor. WYtat the scan &lolls occurrences were is not explained. The Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty have given directions fur an 84 gun ship, to be called the Goliath, and also a 28 gun ship, to be named the Success, to be built at the new Dock-yard, Pem broke. A gentleman has, we understand, arrived in Lon don, with a commission from Lord Cochrane, to raise an aid of four hundred seamen. In this we arc persuaded he will find no difficulty. The Foreign Enlistment Bill, even if passed, is not to take effect till the Ist of August; so that there will be time enough to complete the levy without coming under its operation. We understand that Mr. Charles Warren is to be appointed to the Chief•Justiceship of Cheater, which will be resigned by Mr. Sergeant Copley, upon suc ceeding to th.: Office of Solicitor-General. The Lord Advocate of Scotland is to be made a Lord of Session and Justiciary, in the room of the late Lord Reston, and to be succeeded by Sir William Rae, Baronet. Our readers may depend on the accuracy of these appointments. There are four Candidates for Barnstaple, the present Lord Mayor of London, Mr. Nolan, the barrister, Bourchier Palk Wrey, and J. 1). Bassett, Esqrs. Accommodations are preparing on board a vessel at Gravesend for conveying to St. I Iclena a surgeon anti a priest, to attend on Bonaparte. Two or three domestics, among whom is a cook, proceed thither also, to be added to the establishment at Longwood. We understand that a matrimonial union is on the tapis between Mr. Henry Ball and Lady Jane Paget. It is known that the gentleman is possessed of a large fortune. His annual income is splendid; in addition to which, he became entitled to the pos session of between two and three hundred thousand pounds in the funds, on Wednesday se'nnight, the day he was of age. An elopement, we understand, took place from the west end of the town on Tuesday. The lady is a married woman, young, beautiful, and accomplish ed : the gallant au officer in the artily. It is sup posed they have directed their steps to Paris. On Wednesday night, soon after ten o'clock, a chariot and four arrived at Mr. Belcher's, the Angel Inn, in Doncaster, with a lady and gentleman, on an expedition to Gretna-green. Relays of horses had been previously engaged, and drove at the rate of 12 miles an hour. LI the Consistory Court on Saturday last, sen tence of divorce was pronounced in the cause of Temple v. Temple, by the learned Judge, Sir W. Scott. Our readers will remember that there was an action at common law, some time since, for cri minal conversation, Temple v. Ponlett, in which the plaintiff, Edward Dalby Temple, Esq. obtained a verdict by default against the defendant, John lett, Esq. of Addington-house, Bucks, to the amount of 50001. Norbury Park, Surrey.—This beautiful estate, which comprises .5i7 acres, was knocked down by Mr. Robins, on Wednewlay, at 19,600 guineas. F. Robinson, esq. is the purchaser. Belmont, late the residence of T. Harris, esq of Covent Garden Theatre, was also knocked down for 10,400 guineas. The sale was numerously attended; several persons of distinction were present. The New York Papers state, that the mansion• house, called Hyde Park, at Hempstead Plains, occupied by «illium Cabot, was burnt to the ground on Thursday, the 20th :Vey.
