NS2 FRENCH PAPERS. ✓.— PARIS. Nov. 16. The King ycitcrday . heard mass in his apart ments, a:id subsequently transacted business with the Minister for Foreign Affairs. 'The Count De Cazes waited on Monsieur and the Duke of Angouletne on the day .before yesterday, but it was remarked that his interview with their Royal Iliglincsws was but for a moment. The audience which he had of the King was, if possible-, even shorter. A little pamphlet has been publiihed; entitled, " Projoet of an Act of Accusation against M. Dc Cans." It is a compilation of all.the charges that Lave been urged by all parties against this Minister. The sum of grkvances is very heavy, but we shall ;:hseain from noticing them, lest we might expose ourselves to a charge of wanting generosity. We ld much. rather find them justified, but on this point we have some regrets to offer. To justify this Minister far his past actions is u task so difficult, that we know not whether there-be five or six men in all '2rance so loady as to undertake to do it. We arc assured that the Ministers have caused smite writers of the Mace ve and Courtilutionel to be proceeded against according to law, for having en. eeavoured to excite alarms respecting the stability of the prorrey etUed national, by publishing that this species of property was threatened by a change of I%finistry, which depends upon that constitutional ri;;hts ot his Majesty.

Siciliano, was killed.. Military fbree having been sent from the garrison, the non•contents on the 3d inst. pro ceeded towards the city. Major Stovin, the Bri tish. Commandant, with part of the garrison. took up a position on the hill that commands the main road, with a view to protect the town ; and on the approach of the enemy, a regular 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.pcople entered the town,. and assailed and burnt the houses of. those persons who were known to have supported the new tax. fir Thomas Maitland being absent from the islands when the news of the affair reached Cor fu, Sir Frederick Adam sent 050 men, with artil lery, to Santa Munro. ' This reinforcement nut 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 islat.ds, particu larly in Zante and Cephalonia, the inhabitants of which mitt make a stand in their mountains for a long time. In that case our situation would become very critical—as the British fures are at present hardly adequate to the garrison duty of this and the other furti:icd places in the island: and in conse quence of the existing system of administration in this country. the. majority of the natives can no lon ger be depended on."

The persc. onions against the Jews-secarnut to have yet ter. minuted. Accounts front Copenhagen say, that very serious ilisturbances brole out at Elsineur on the same day as at Copenhagen, and that the popu lace threatenato exterminate all the Jews if they did nut hasten their departure as soon as possible. Russia is said to be mak'ngrapil strides towards the establishment of a naval power. The number alter ships of war h. continually increasing. The Paris Papers ceuvey the satisfactory assort ance, that the epidemic malady which ravages An dalusia begins at length to decrease. It appears by the extracts they, communicate from the Madrid Papers of the 4th of November, that the mortality in Cadiz had diminished in the proportion of one. fourth within the space of ten days, and that the number of sick, which amounted on the 18th of October to no less than 13,338 persons, did not on 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 dela Fontera, hopes are entertained that the fever has passed its crisis, and that Ow province of Andalusia will soon be restored to its usual health. The King of France appears to have happily overcome his late indisposition, but it is not inti mated whether his Majesty will open the Session of the Legislative Chambers in person or by Commis sion. The Society called the Frien.ls to the- Liberty of the Press, appear to have excited in an extreme degree the hostility of the Min.stcrs. They are no.lunger pmnit.ed to hold their meetings in a public manner, and the Ministers seem resolved to invade the sacredness of private resid e n ce to complete timir destruction. For this purpose they caused General Tarayee, at whose house the Satiety occa siona!ly held t.:eir meetings, to be summoned before the Jage d'lmAirmelion, preparatory 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 S(wiety 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 whnse exertions liberty is much in debted, should wish to persecute any individuals merely fur their attachment to a free Press. CARLILE the bookseller on Tuesday - received the judgment of the Court of King's Bench, after an ineffectual exertion on the part of hi.. Counsel, Mr. Denman, to extend to him the benefits of the, sta tute of the 9th and 10th of William 111. enitcted • fot the protection and benefit of U iitarians. The sentence of the Court was pronounce ! severally Nam the two offences of whirl•, he has been con victed. For the first oflimee, the publication of " Thc Age of Reason" he was sentenced to pay a fine of I,oool_ and• to be imprisoned in Dorchester gaol for the space of two years ; for the second of. fence, the publication of " Palmer's Principles of Nature," he was sentenced to pay a fine of 5001. and to be imprisoned in the same gaol for the space of one year, and at the expiration of these three years, to give securities f►r his good behaviour for life, himself in 1,0001. and two sureties in 1001. each. The moderate nature of this sentence enhances in our estimation the character of the Judges who de liberated upon it ; although the grossly Andel
