The Paris Papers of Saturday contain but little intelli gence of moment, either foreign or domestic. The pro ceedings of the Chambers, the day before, were wholly uninter,sting. Merely some reports of committees bail been received. The journals belonging to the Opposition, especially the Royalist Opposition, continue to attack M. de Vittc Li for his indecisive conduct with respect to South America. He cares not, say they, whether King Geoac e • IV. makes treaties or not with BOLIVAR and VITTORIA, provided he can manage the French Sinking Fund, and re duce the rentes. " What does it signify," they exclaim, with bitter irony, " if the English do get possession of the mines of the new world? our vines will still grow, and M. de Vitt.m.x will remain President of the Council. These are blessings worth all the treasures of the Americans." Cr:ARLES X. visited the Museum of the Louvre on Fri day. He was received with boundless enthusiasm. An Address was read to his MAJESTY, in which he was Stle ctuively compared to Louts XIV., HANAT IV., and PIANOS I. In his reply, the Kixo said the protection of the arts would always be one of the objects most dear to him. He then distributed a great many decorations of the Legion of Hosteur among the painters, sculptors, and en gravers, wbo;wiae present. M. CARL!, VERNET and M. Ca.arettiott were created Knights of :31.. MICHAEL ; and in order to show that, like his ancestor Louts XIV. he wished to extend his patronage beyond his kingdom, our countryman Sir THOMAS LAWRENCE was nominated a Knight of the Legion of 'Lamour. The Journul des De bas concludes its account of the proceedings 'in these words:- - Thus terminated a day ever memorable, in consequence of the forms, as unusual as charming, by which have been manifested the &sour and protection which the successor of Francis I. and Louts XIV. grants to the tine arts, in the brilliancy of the rewards, a-lit the extraordinary abundance of the benefits, which the King of Franca showers on the artists. What other agc, what other country, what other school, can thus annually produce 1113 :artists, gsintets, or sculptors, at once worthy and sure of rec:iving soca ftwirent rewards and such useful eneunragement ?"

By an Express from Paris yesterday the French Rentes were quoted at 103 f. on Saturday. They were dune on our Exchange at 103 f. 50 c. Despatches were yesterday received at the Colonial Office, from St. Frederic Adam, Lord High Commissioner at Corfu, dated the 26th of November: from the Marquis of Hastings, at Malta, dated the 7th December : and from the Earl of Chatham, at Gibraltar, dated the 30th Dec. — They bring intelligence that the Emperor of Morocco was fitting out an expedition against the Sardinians. Sunday morning Mr. liardenherg, the King's messenger, arrived at the Foreign Office, Downing-street, with des patches from our Ambassador at Vienna. Mr. Kaye, junior, the King's Messenger, arrived at the Foreigh Office with despatches from Paris. Letters are in town from Bahia, dated the 28th Nov. from Pernambuco, of the 27th Nov. and from Maranham, of the 4th Dec. The latter state that all mercantile trans actions were suspended on the 9th Nov. in consequence of the state of political affairs there, and continued unsettled until the arrival of Lord Cochrane, whose presence caused the violence of party spirit to subside. Letters froni Lisbon, of the sth instant, report that capital to be in a state of per fect tranquillity. Advice. from Truxillo of the Ist October, awn that the faeces% of Bolivar, iu Upper Peru, was uninter rupted. The flight of the Royalists confirmed to be rapid; and from these accounts it would appear that the greater part of the forces under Camerae had dispersed.— A strong detachment bad sailed from from Panama to join Bolivar. Previously to their leaving that place, the Com inandant-Geneaatl, Carrene, publithed an address to the in habitants, thinking them for the great attention paid to the accommodation of the Liberating Army, and stating the certain rotten of the Colombian army in Peru. Letters from Carthagena of the 90th of November, men tion the appointment of Soublet as Minister of War. Can terac*s torte is wetted to have been reduced by losses in different actions, disease. and desertion, to little more than 1600 effectives, with which he had retired to the mountains in Upper Peru, We have received Bahia I'apers to the 21st November. From them it appears the Brazilian Emperor had foetid it nec asary to have recourse to strong measures with respect to the province of Ceara ; in fact. " to supersede all the forms that guarrantee civil liberty," and to place that pro vince under Military Commission. An Imperial Letter orders proceedings to he commenced "against %latx! Car- Pat's da Andrade, the head of the atrocious rebel:ion of that province, who, with some of his partisans, escaped from prison on the entrance of the Imperial troops." Other steps bad been taken to punish sedition, check desertion, and preserve the public tranquillity. The Baltimore Papers state that the Agent of the Go vernment of Mexico had contracted with two shipwrights in that city, for the building of two frigate. Letters have been received from Alvarado, dated the 26th Nov. The castle of St. John d'Ulloa had offered to surrender, if a safe convoy was assured to the garrison. Letters from Cadiz state that the Guadalquiver Com pany have established a steam packet to sail between Cadiz and Barcelona, touching on her passage at the intermediate ports of Gibraltar, Malaga, and Alicant. In the /Norio of Rio of 19th Oct. we find the following notice :—" Mr. Norton, commanding our frigate Nitheroy, who entered this port on the 13th, states, that he spoke a ship 33 days from Lisbon, the Captain of which informed him that an English frigate had arrived at Lisbon with Commissioners from England and Austria, who, together with Commissioners from Portugal, w!re to proceed to this capital, to treat on the arrangements for the recognition of our independence. If this is true, the Commissioners may soon be expected, and we have no doubt, that, under the auspices of two such respectable nations as England and Austria, our differences with Portugal will be adjusted, and our independence realised?' SOUTH•3II.TON, JAN. 15.—Lord Palmerston has a large and distinguished party of visitors at Broadlands, including his Royal Highness the Duke of York, Lord Maltnesleury, Sir John Shelley, Eight lion.

P1 , 1)101;111, JAN. 15.—The Royal Hotel has, dnring the last two days, been the scene of great bustle. The South American and Canada Commissioners, with their respective suites, are staying there for a change of wind. The former embark in the Eger.a corvette, and the latter in the Romney man of war. It has been observed, that these two sets of Commissioners are rather singularly con trasted : the South Americans have a numerous retinue of bull-dogs and fighting-cocks in their suite—the Canadians have been indefatigable in seeing all the objects of interest about the Dock-yards and the Breakwater, and have been attended by the Port Admiral in person, by whom they were last night splendidly entertained.

The fund is to be formed of a deduction of 5 per cent. on the salaries, &c. as well as of other sums particularly specified. The clerks are en titled to a pension when they are 60 yearn of age, or have served at least 30 years, of which 20 years must have been in the office of the Minister of Finance, or in one of six other otfces, which are emone rated in the Ist article. Twenty-five years are sufficient for certain officers, of whom a list is annexed to the urdi ,anee. Officers on active service, who have been made incapable of duty in conse quence of an engagement with smugglers or rioters, or of any combat in the exercise of their functions, or by any accident rela tive to then: functions, are entitled to a pension, whatever are their age or number of years they have served. One chapter fixes the pensions and allowances to the widows and children. The msi mum of the pension is fixed according to the salary; below 1,000 francs, at 750; above 3.200 to 11,000, half the salary ; 6,000 francs is the highest, which is nn all salaries above 12,000 francs. - - (From the C'aiiirritr Francais of Saturday.] FRANKFORT JAN. 10. {Pe hear from Vienna that the Catholic conirminityof en Kerchew, in the circle of Usitermuhl, have obtained permission from the Emperor of Austria to pass over to the Protestant Evan gelical Church. .after receiving this formal permission, they have been incorporated in the parish of the neighbouring village.

The sessions has been opened scarcely three weeks, and it has already exhibited a spectacle, such as no other session has presented, a melancholy spectacle, which no person, whatever his apprehen sions may he. could tbresee. The 9th Article of the Charter, which declared the inviolahqity of the national domains, has been openly violated and trampled tinder foot. The words " robbery" and " robber" have been heard within the walls of the Legislative As. sembly. They have been applied by M. de Puyntaurin to seven millions of citizens. We ask, and will continue to ask, if such audacity has been the subject of that severe animadversion of which we have had examples in less important cases ? We ask if the controlling officers of the Assembly, who have all sworn to respect the Charter, have censured, and with severity, the orator? No, there is no such thing. We ask if the President of the Chamber, who for seven successive years has shown himself so severe with respect to the words which escape the lip, of plebeian Deputies, we ask if he ever pronounced the call " lo order," according to the powers lately conferred upon him by the taw We answer no. The law of the sacrificed State has cried out in vain. The Presi dent has observed silence. AU is explained—the orator is )linis terial ; he is pensioned, he may be removed. The President is appointed by the Minister ; he is bound to support the opinions of that 31inister. The Minister himself is present ; be remained silent. The King ♦isited the 31useum to-day. All the paintings in the exhibition were collected. Before the distribution of the crosses, his Majesty inspected the different chambers, and paid marked attention to several paintings lately exhibited, upon which he be. stowed praise. He noticed particularly the portrait of M. Souls, by Gerard ; the Monks of 3lount Bernard, by liersent ; a Sea-picce by AI. Gurdin ; and a representation of the war in Spain, by M. C. Vernet. His Majesty then distributed the crosses. "I am going," said he," to distribute these rather as an enamrsgement than es re wards, for I should have too much to dr, if I were to bestow re wards upon all who deserve them. These words wen: uttered amidst cries of " Vive k Roi." After the distribution, the King said.—" I regret that M. Ge rald is not here ; if he were, I would request from him a picture of the Coronation-1 have nut the least doubt that he would undertake it with pleasure." M. Gerard, who was present, but who was mingled with the crowd, advanced to his Majesty to testify his respectful gratitude. GERMAN PAPERS.

BALTIKOTIE, DEC. 15. COLOMNIAN CAPTUIES.—The cruises Oillttii4icni; - bia public continue to cut up the trade of Old Spain. We learn, that on the Ist of November the Colombian brig of war Aguila, cap. tured, in sight of the Moro Cattle, the Spanish ship Alvear from Corunna bound to the Havannalt, with a full and very rich cargo. The Alveet is a superb ship, American built, in excellent condi tion, measures 120 test on deck, and bad a large crew ; 40 of her crew had been landed at Matanzas, and 11 more of her hands were put on board a schooner bound to flavannah. She is reported in every respect as a very valuable prize. She WAS put in charge of Capt. Edward Num:Union, ar.d onlered to Porto Caren°, the Aguila hsving first convoyed her safely through theUulf, and part. in g with her iu lu. 27. long. 62. Three days previous to the capture of this corvette, the Aguila took a Spanish schooner of about one hundred and twenty tons, with a full cargo of dry goods. The Aguila is at present corn. mended by Captain W. Anderson, who is represented as remarkably saecessftil in cuffing up the Spanish trade, having captured within a few days after he sailed from Purto Covello three very rich prizes. PIirLADELPHIA.

A salute was tired on the day previous to the sailing of the Georgian, ou the receipt of the news of the victory of Junin, gained by the cavalry of General Bolivar. The country was comiiderably disturbed by the Pampos Indians. in consequence of which travelling in the interior sat ren dered extremely dangerous ; bat the Government was making ae tin preparations to send a somewhat formidable expedition against them, notwitlntruxling they had been unfortunate in two former ones. News had been received of some trifling advantages having been gained over the Indians. A revolution took place at Metislitea in favour of the republican party in July ; previous to that, the partisans of monarchy had united in deceiving the ignorant, under the pretext that their religion v•as in danger, and they had suc ceeded so far as to put a stop to schools and every thing connected with the improvement of the mind, when the fortunate revolution took place, through the exertions of the young teen, and some of the aged -who were of niore liberal views. 'I he only unfortunate event was the surrendering of the Ex-Cksvernor, who has been despotically placed in power. In Chili things had taken a favour- I able turn. The liberal party are decidedly triumphant. The Bishop, who had always been opposed to the revolution, has been banished, and even the Pope's Nuncio has become a liberal, having been gained over to the popular party. In consequence of this, be is making great refomtations in the church on both sides of the Andes, curtailing the number of least days, and secularising the friars, as fast as possible. ilesext.—The last intelligence front this Island represents the state of the times there as such that an able-bodied man and his wife, by conducting a coffee plantation, earn only 6itj dollars a year. ender such circumstances, it might be well supposed that I man) of the emigrants from this country would be anxious to re- turn ; but this liberty is not allowed them, istscial notice having been given that the moat vigorous measures will be Ina in force against vessels detected in carrying away Haytiena or emigrants from the Ward, and that, its the event of the fact not being disco vered until after the departure of the vessel, the consignees will be held responsible.

General Olaneta is collecting all hi■ forces to give a warm re ceptioa (to remise with bullets. as I)om Gaspar himself said) to La terna and the other constitutional Spaniards. The situation of the latter in Peru is certainly very arduous. In the north, Genera' Bolivar, at the head of a respectable and victorious amiss. nnnturs and annihilates them ; while, in the south, the army of General Ilaneta deprives them of all resources. and prepares to receive them with bullets.

MEETING OF BRITISH CATHOLICS. A Meeting of the Ilritish Catholics was held yesterday, at th Crown and Anchor Tavern, in pursuance of public advertise-mu; tar the purpose of considering and agreeing to a Petition to but !louses of Parliament. praying for Catholic Emancipation. A: one o'clock, Charles Butler Esq., of Lincoln's Inn. florid t h e the limn Ilugh Clifford be Called to the Chair, which was unau. 'musty agreed to. Mr. Qetx rose to move a Resolution, in which he wan sore the the meeting would be of one opinion, via.: that Edward Ulcer, Esq. be invited to act as Secretary to the Meeting of the Brim: Catholics; the whole of' the Gendenien assembled could bear test.. mony to the talent, the zest. and the perseverance, with which In had discharged the duties of Secretary to rite Catholic Association, and for which the whole of the (:adiolic Body owed him the Caw: ample gratitude, and to which the unanimity of that llody was present mainly uttributable ; that unanimity was at no one pern4 since the Reformation greater than at the present moment, an: much of it as he had berme said was owing to die exertions of Mt Blount, who imparted so much weight to his office by the autiquil of his family, and their unsullied fame. (applause.), Mr. ROBINSON seconded the motion. Mr. Bt.ot NT begged to return his most heartfelt acknowlede. menses for the marked manner in 'which lois poor services had bee approved of; he assured the illenting that he was, and ever should he, devoted to the Cause of the Catholics of England. Ile was ;dal at length to sic them as one family possessing one soul, and he fen thinly convinced, that the day had now arrived in which they could no longer be shut nut from the full enjoyment of the privileges en tended to their Protestant fellow-subjeels, through he felt that le was entitled to a very small portion of the praise which had hell livishcd on him. (Hear.) Rev. Mr. :II'D said, that a motion had been put it his hands, which he felt no small pleasure in reading to the as. seinbly, via.: a vote of thanks to the Irish Catholic Association; it had been his wish to have taken no part in the proceedings oldie day, from a con vici ion that there wereo:hers present • ho were en much better fitted to advance the important question then under delibera. Lion ; but he had been selected as having the honour to be a mew. ber of the Catholic Association in the country, and supposed to speak the sentiments of their Catholic Brethren at a distance • their lion. Secretary who had just addressed them had conieretulat . ed the ,hating on the arrival (den era of tonanimi:y in the Catholic !hely. He took that opportunity, as a distant member of that body, to re turn his thanks to the British Catholics. in whom die Irish Associ. ated Catholics had the most unlimitisi confidence. 'l'licy woe daily in the habit of expressing those sentiments, and therefoie it was unnecessary for him to enter into a detail of them, lion, as fain his acquaintance extended, the Irish Catholics were loud in ohs expression of their approbation of the British Association. Ile admitted that a general spirit of harmony and union had been tenting to their cause ever since the time of the Reibituation; that spirit had now been brought about :it wits ,usele s s for him to enlarge on the topic further ; he would, therefore, make but era more observation, which was, that the Irish Catholics would co operate heart and hand to bring about the desired event. Mr. H. \l'iTtiait said that he rose to secood the motion with the meat unfeigned pleasure; the time had been when to have carried on proceeding like the present, they must have met in a corner, is winch he never would have consented ; but as their meetings was now conducted with publicity, he noost cheerfully became a menthe of the Association, and be would always devote the little talent the he possessed to the funherim re of the just pursuits of that body. Mr. E. BLouxr wished to make • few observations to the meet ing on the subject of the preceding Resolution. It was well know) that Mr. 111• Donnell was the life of the Catholics in the midland counties, and that he inspired the whole of them wall energy and vigour. The committee had engaged in a task of importance, .n which they would labour through evil report and threugh good re. port, wail they had wiped our the aspersions which their enenno had heaped upon thern ; to do which. they must watch with that most indefatigable perseverance. The Catholics load been for tie long a time the butt of malignant feeling and false representation. and then it was that their cause had been injured by virulence art invective. But a brighter day now dawned up( i them, and if the Catholic body had rot before assumed a powerful tone, they ough now to do it, as their weight and importance in the State entitlel them to do an. An association had sprung up, of which the effect would speedily be felt and acknowledged throughout the countri: their first business was to w ipe off the foul imputations which Ili been thrust upon them. (Hear, hear). 1)r. Com:tits called the attention of the meeting to a form of ei declaratory principles of their Institution, and as to the mode a which they ought to conduct themselves in seeking to obtain dor tights ; the Petition which was to be presented to Parliament pad been drawn up with great care and caution, but it was necesin . r that it should be concise, and all that was essential to be said coal not, therefore, be embodied in it ; therefore it was thought fitting that a declaration should be prepared, which might circulate wall , the Petition • it was framed in a language that required uo coy ' resent ; it hat; for its objects the most fervent attachment to di &uveveign and the Constitutionaind an earnest desire for the maintson ance of die laws and the Support of order. lie might say that such Pete the sentiments pseimilinsbdia bosom of every CatbolioClo. gyman, and he could protest before his God that they tweeted sway in his. . Air. LYSTOX congratu'ated the meeting on its number and Tr spectability, which were by far greater than his warmest winos could have anticipated, considering that it was at a season at 'MA most of the nobility and gentry were absent from the metropolis it their country seats. The people of England had at length opecel their eyes to the 'offerings under which the Catholics had so long submitted, and which had produced among them so many discon tents and [tenet-horning% The British people were ever rernar.- able for the support wliielt they always gave to the cause of humanity and justice, and he did not think that they would be found wantil on the present occasion. Mr. Wilberforce could attest this in the es forts which he hail made for the amelioration of site condition of the negro slave. The lamented Sir Samuel Hominy experienced 0 also in los exertions for softening the a-perkiest of the Penal Code, and he did not see why those who aidetl these great philanthroputs should withdraw their support from a cause not inferior to either , df them in humanity and imp ortance. lie trusted the members of die Established (lintels would at length be alive to truth, and to lam t perpetuate error and schism.
