The Boman Pas's commenced publishing yesterday mooing st five o'clock. LONDON, SATURDAY, Novsmasa 19, Mi. We have received the Paris Papers of Wednesday. The Ministerial Journals boast, and we hope and believe that they boast justly, of the progress made by France In in ternal improvements and general prosperity since the peace. It is the interest of every nation, and especially of Great Britain, as the wealthiest and most commercial of nations, that the whole world, and every part of it, in particular, should thrive and flourish. The richer all other people may be, the more they will contribute to the growth of ourcapital. We read, therefore, without repining, the declaration, that " industry has for several years in France been receiving an extension which becomes daily more and more important. Roads are opened in all parts of the kingdom ; canals are dug, bridges built, manufactories erected, mines of coal and metals are opened ; and France is covered with more commodious and more elegant dwellings; the number of which built annually for five and six years is ten fold that of any period for more than a century before." It is by results such as these that the blessings of peace become palpable to all countries, and that in these days the longer it continues the more powerful are the interests con cerned in prolonging it. The genuine principles of com mercial intercourse between nations begin to be understood and admitted by all. By the subjoined extracts from the Quotielienne, it appears that the absurd and mischievous custom-house war between France and Sweden is at end, and that the two kingdoms are about to adjust their com mercial relations on sound principles. The Echo du Midi annOunces that the Session of the Chambers will open between the 15th and 25th of February. The private correspondence of the French papers from Spain would dispose us to expect after all that the Duke del INFANTevo will prove the devoted instrument of the apostolic party. There is a great masa of pretended news from Greece in these papers, but it supplies us with few additional facts worthy of credit. REDSCH ID PAC it A still remained before Missolonghi, but there was no reason to apprehend that he could be successful at this season of the year. The Alba nians have deserted him, and famine and fatigue daily increased the general discontent of his army. IBRAHIM PACHA is stated to have summoned the Greek Government to evacuate Napoli di Romania before the arrival of his reinforcements from Egypt. If they do not capitulate before that period, he threatens to storm the town and put all the inhabitants to the sword. In consequence of this menace, it was supposed the Greek Government had re solved to withdraw to the islands of Salimino or Egina. We must not forget, however, that all this intelligence comes to us through those German papers which are avowedly hostile to the Greek cause. The French Funds are improving as well as our own• The Five per Cents. advanced on Wednesday 40c., and the Three per Cents. SOc. During the late panic on the Paris Exchange, it is said the sellers were principally small holders, whose lesecr have consequently been felt very se verely. The alarm was at one time quite as great as any thing that has lately been witnessed in Capel-court. (From the Q - sooridicone of Wechtroday. - Nov. 16.) PARIS, Nov. 15. . - It appears that the kind of custom-house war which has arisen since the peace between France and Sweden, is on the point of being terminated. It is said that from the lot January next the Swedish Government will moderate the heavy duties, amounting to a pro. hibition, which it had laid on the French productions, particularly the wines of Bordeaux. The French Government will, on the other hand, adopt a more moderate tariff on goods coming from Sweden and Norway. All parties will gain by this reduction, espe cially the public Exchequer, it being notorious that in taxation 2 and 2 do not always make four. Plessis, who was condemned to death yesterday by the Court of Assizes of Paris, as guilty of an attempt to poison, has this morn ing appealed to the Court of Cana:ion. We borrow the following article from the Echo du Midi, pub. Fished at Toulouse : " Though we are not yet acquainted with any official art of the new Spanish Ministry, we may easily conjecture, from the letters of our correspondents in the Peninsula, the new direction which will soon he given to the affairs of that kingdom. Several private let ten which have mentioned the arrival of M. Zea, and the pension granted the widow of the unfortunate Bessieres, have likewise an nounced the intended rehabilitation of the memory of that General, and the prosecution of several eminent persons, who had more or leas favoured the violent measures adopted by the late Minister against the unfortunate Bessierea and his adherents. It is still be lieved that the whole of the Spanish Ministry will be changed, with the exception of M. Colatitude." (From the Constitntionnell We learn, says the Indicateuv of Bordeaux, of the 12th of this month, by a letter from Madrid, that the Professors of the French and English languages have received orders to cease giving lessons. The drawing-masters, under pain of a similar order, assemble their pupils once or twice a week as they have been used to do, The writer of the letter adds, that we need not, however, be under any apprehension about the progress of the Arts and Sciences, since the Jesuits, who insinuate themselves everywhere, are ex clusively in possession of public instruction.

The aggregate averages for regulating the importation of Foreign Grain were struck yesterday, and the result was as follows :—Wheat 645. 9d. ; Barley 41s. 4d. ; Oats 265. 3d ; Rye 41s. 11.1. ; Beans 465. 3d. ; Pease, 545. 10d. per quarter. The official statement will appear in the Gazette of this evening. Foreign Barley is now admissible into our ports on pay ment of a duty of five shillings per quarter, and Pease on payment of a duty of seven shillings per quarter. This regulation, both as to duty and import, will remain in force during six weeks at the near ports, and three weeks at the distant foreign ports. Foreign Grain of every other kind continues prohibited. CITY, SATURDAY Evzxrxo. Another very important and heavy day of business has passed upon the Stock Exchange, but, unlike the pre ceding ones of this week, it has closed with improving prices,and consequently with a portion of restored confidence, although we fear that the improvement does not indicate a speedy termination of the alarm which has more or less affected the money market during the last four months. However, if the report he correct which has had the effect of raising the price of Consols to-day, confidence will re turn rapidly, and we shall see an immediate and progressive advance in every description of British and Foreign Se curities. The rumour to which we allude is, that in telligence has been received from Paris that a commercial treaty between England and France, much in favour of this country, the formation of which was intrusted to Mr. Huskisson, has been formally agreed upon between the British and French Cabinets. Consols, which opened at THE.. 11-1 'RFAS S. S.Si for this account, and at 86 for January, left oiFat ' 8.54 6 for the former, and at 861 i for the latter. The Foreign market in like manner was, as it were, re animated ; Spanish gonifs — , in WWI some extensive transactions took place, rose to 17 17i, being an increase of 2 per cent. since yesterday. But it was in Colombian Bonds that the improvement was greatest: at the close of the market to-day they were quoted at 633 . 6, which is an advance of 6 per cent. in four-and-twenty hours. Mexican Bonds were 70/ l ; Greek ditto, 22i 3 ; Danish ditto, 63 61; Brazilian Scrip, 12i is.; and Guate mala ditto, 7 6 dia. In Shares, the only bargains of any consequence were in Anglo-Mexican Shares, at 25 47i ; and in those of the United Mexican Company at 10 11. Exchequer Bills were 9s. premium, The Colonial market was in a languid state, the in quiries for Sugar being very trifling; and the Coffee sales, although prices cannot be said to ye given way, were by no means brisk. There was a fair supply of Barley and Pease at Mark lane; but of Oats. and Wheat it was,soodetate, and the prices rather going up. FRENCH PAPERS. [Prom the Etoile. dated Thurnday.l The crisis which is taking place at the Exchange does not in any way affect either the maritime or internal conamerce, or agricultural and manufacturing industry ; all these branches, on the contrary, are in the road of sensible improvement, and prepare collectively an increase of public wealth, which must, in the result, have a very favourable effect upon every species of productive value. The exports of articles manufactured in Paris, which appeared so extraordinary in 1324, are still more so in 1023, since , in the first ten months of the year, according to the information that has been obtained at the Custom-house, the value of these exports exceeded that of the entice preceding year. The momentary embarrassment which is experienced in Pavia may be attributed to the seventy or eighty millions which have been suddenly drawn out for the pur. chase of wines in Bordeaux, Burgundy, and the South, the quality of wltizli is declared this year excellent. And who can say that this wealth, spread through the country, may not again increase production, or be partly distributed in the public funds 2 The thirty or forty millions which the bank advanced upon the certificate of the last loan, converted into four per cents. and which, it' if at this moment withdraws frotn circulation, increases the embarrass ment, and has screed for food to the speculators for a fall, as well as for a pretext to capitalists to augment their pretensions ; bat these thirty or forty millions may again come out of the bank upon the deposit of Bente'', or of good signatures, and the forty millions of sovereigns of which we have spoken, and which the 31int may meet in ten days, may enable it to assist by more than eight.- mil. lions the liquidation of the month, without in the least weakening the solidity of its position. We repeat that every branch of commerce and industry is in a satisfactory state, and this result of a few acts of the Government clearly points out to it the route which it has to follow. Why, then, does the Bank of France, by a narrows and unnecessary precedence, contribute to create an evil, which did not really exist, instead of preserving commerce, as in duty bound, from the evil which threat ened it ? No, the Bank. we are persuaded, will not act so, and we have already a gttsrantee of our opinion in the facility with which, during the last few days, it has discounted the paper which has been presented. As every one exaggerates his fears, we should not be surprised If abundance were to succeed in a few days to ember easement, and if persona were to be embarrassed by those very funds which they now far will fail them. TRIESTE, Nor. I. Letters from Syra inform na. that 3lnhamed Ali has sent word to the fiydriote, that since they dared to attempt the burning of his fleet tinder his own eyes, he had sworn to ruin their island. In consequence of this menace, great preparations were made at Ily dra, and 40 fire-ships had been put in requisition. The Greek squadrons before Prevesa and the entrance of the Gulf of I.epanto continue to keep a vigormia look-out. and turn back all the Austrian vessels which attempt to enter. There have been severe discussions between the Greek Commandants and the Captains of the Austrian vessels, who have protested formally against the blockade. Notwithstanding all that has been said as to the retreat of Red. achid Pacha, we know positively that he is still In Etolia, although abandoned by most of the Albanian Chiek It is even said that he intends to winter in Etolia and in the neighbourhood of 31isso longhi, so as to be able to attack that place again with the first fa vourable opportunity. NovrinErn According to the accounts from ?ifissolonghl of the sth of Octo. ber. the Turks were still before that place. lbrahint Pacha appears to be awaiting reinforcements at Tripolizza. DUTCH PAPERS. FIAGus, Nov. 1.5. The King and Queen. and thelt Royal Highnesses Prince and Princess Frederick, and Princess Marianne, returned yesterday af ternoon to this town, from Amsterdam. _ _ _ In the sitting of the Second Chamber of the States-Gcneral yester day, a Royal Message, dated Amsterdam, N0v.12, was prescn ted, to gether with a Project of Law to provide for the pecuniary wams of our foreign possessions. It was resolved to send the project of law, and the explanatory memorial accompanying it, to the sections, for examination. AMSTERDAM, Now. 13. The Amsterdam Journal continues to give very long extracts from the Batavia Papers, containing numerous details of the ope. rations of the Dutch troops in Celebes, the results of which hare already been stated. An account from Borneo gives the particulars of the murder of several persons by pirates. 31. Van Grave, Resident at Sambos, having arrived from Java on board the Thalia, and being desirous to reach his post as soon as possible, embarked in a small vessel for Sambos. He was accompanied by Monsieur Pelletier, lately arrived from Europe. They sailed on the Ist of April, and in the morning discovered eight proas, which they recognised to be pirates. The Captain desired the two Europeans to keep below, that the pirates might not be rendered more desperate by the hopes of a large booty. After an hour's firing, M. Pelletier was mortally wounded in the cabin M. Grave then leaped on deck, discharged his two pistols, and then, with his arms crossed, awaited his fate, which seemed inevitable: he was soon struck by a ball, which put an end to his life, and the distressing situation in which he had been for some hours. About noon the vessel received a shot between wind and water, and sunk. Four of the crew escaped in the boat to the river of Pentianaka, where they related these me lancholy particulars. Besides the crew, there were on board four native servants of the Resident, and one of 3! Pelletier, so that no fewer than sixteen persons have lost their lit-e s . M. Van Grave, who had gained general esteem by his conduct, during three years' residence at Sambas, is generally lamented by the Government of the west coast of Borneo. He was formerly in the army, and made severalicampaigns in Russia rid Spain, where he greatly distin guished himself. and had the [TOSS of Ate Legion of Honour.

The President of Hayti has ordered many steam-boats to be built for him both in France and England.--Etolle. A private letter from the Hague, in the Journal de la Beigi(pre, says, that the Sections of the States-General arc busy in examining the first two books of the Code of Com merce. This examination will be concluded this week ; they will then discuss the Budget, the debates on which will probably take place towards the end of the month. As for the Code de Prneedure, it is not certain that it will be presented this year; in case it should not the Session will be short. Count d'Eyher, Minister Plenipotentiary or Denmark to the German Diet, died on the 6th instant at llatzburg, in the house of his sister. His Excellency had long been in a precarious state of health. 'TOE WOLTER Or CROATIA.—LOtterRfrOM Agram, in Croatia, say that the wolves have increased in a dreadful manner in the beginning of August, and seem to pursue the human species rather than cattle. The magistrates of the district have sent above 4000 men with muskets, hay forks, &c. against them ; So florins reward are offered for every female wolf, and only 1 florin for every male ; the people searched the woods a long time in vain, at length they made use of the following shocking ,stratagem : They sought out an eminence in the wood, on which some children were placed; marksmen, with loaded muskets, placed themselves in ambush close by. Five wolves ap peared from different parts of the forest, and advanced cautiously towards the eminence ; two of the beasts were shot dead, the others escaped.—Yienno Paper, Oct. SO.

Captain Mitchell, of the Mint, says, that one hundred people lay maimed in the house of Gilmour, Ranker, and Co. FIRE IN NEW RRIINSIVICK. We extract the following additional particulars of the late dreadful conflagrations at New Brunswick, from a paper of the 13th ultimo, received yesterday : ST. JOHN'S, NEW 1311117iSIVICt, 0cx.13. For some days past the minds of the inhabitants of this city have been kept in a painful degree of agitation, from the atmosphere being obscured by an unusual quantity of smoke, accompanied by clouds of ashes and burnt leaves, bearing evidence of the existence of some alarming con flagration. Unhappily, the fears thus excited have been lamentably realised, and we have now the painful duty of laying before the public an authenticated account of the calamity, which took place at the seat of Government, last Friday afternoon, and continued raging for some time v:ith the utmost fury, destroying the property of private indivi duals, to the extent of nearly 33,0001., besides the provi sion store, straw store, barrack store, long store, the whole of the fuel yard, and all the provisions belonging to Government. In addition to the above calamity at the seat of Govern ment, we learn that dreadful tires ate ravaging the forests around Fredericton, and the settlements of New Ireland and New Jerusalem, in the rear of Gage Town. The mills at the Oromocto and several houses have also been burned up. Many of our poorer fellow-subjects are thus, by the visitation of the Almighty, driven from their homes; merchants and mechanics deprived of the produce of their industrious labours, and many other individuals suffer extensive losses. Amid these scenes of affliction, we turn to the active and benevolent steps immediately re sorted to for the relief of suffering humanity ; and ever foremost in a good and christianlike cause, we rank, with feelings of admiration, the beneficence of his Excellency the Lieutenant-Governor, and the other charitable indi viduals who met at Fredericton, on Saturday, to take into consideration means for ascertaining and alleviating the distresses occasioned by the melancholy event. • His Ex cellency was pleased to open the business of the meeting I by a very feeling and appropriate address, after which his Excellency recommended the formation of a committee, and the opening of a subscription for the relief of the suf ferers, at the head of which his Excellency directed the following sums to be placed : From his Majesty's casual revenue From his Excellency's private funds - th) The inhabitants of this city have not been slow to follow the example for their suffering fellow-subjects ; accordingly, a meeting was on Tuesday last convened, at the City Hall, for the purpose of adopting the best means for alleviating the distress of the poorer classes of sufferers from the late fires throughout the province. His worship the Mayor being called to the Chair, thc following gentlemen•wete appointed a Committee to conduct the business and receive subscriptions :—His Worship the Mayor, Mr. Millidge, Mr. H. Johnston, jun., Mr. Simonds, Mr. J. R. Partclow, the Reenrder, Rev. Mr. Coster, Mr. H. Gilbert, Mr. J. Ward, jdn., Mr. J. Ewing. A subscription list was then opened, at the head of which stood the Corporation, 2501 Amount of subscriptions from individuals, not yet cor rectly ascertained, but supposed to he shout 1,2301. The amount of the total loss of the sufferers, in houses, furniture, goods, &c. at Fredericton, is estimated at 32,522/. WRECK of the CIMONR, GREEK BRIG of WAR. EXTRACTS OF PRIVATE LETTERS FROM ALDERNEY. FRMAY. Nov. 11. This morning, at Ave o'clock, the Grecian brig of war the Cimone, Captain Miaulis, whilst standing to the west ward in a heavy gale at N.E. and sometimes N., ran on the eastern part of this island before they discovered land. Al though a heavy sea was running at the time, the whole of the crew was landed in safety. Five. O'CLOCK IN THE EVENING. I have just returned from the wreck of the brig, where I have been the whole of the day. She had on board many valuables, and in fact a rich cargo, but I regret to state that a scene of much plunder was witnessed ; at least two-thirds of the valuable articles were carried off to the town, or secreted in the sand till an opportunity should occur for removing them. Even a young man of great respectability carried off a pocket-full of table-spoons; others, sabres, silver-mounted; women took whole pieces of muslin or cambric, in picees of S. yards each ; and other articles were carried off by children. Surely this ought not to have been permitted by those who were placed to protect the property. . . . SATURDAY, 12. The vessel still holds together; most of bee cargo is washed out or landed, her cannon are still on her deck, but if she parts, which is expected, they will be all lost, as no effort is made to save them, for plunder seems now to be the order of the day. The crew bad property on board, which they attempted to save, but they have had indifferent success. NVell may they all exclaim, as one did this morning, " Oh ! that I had been cast on some place among the Turks ; I then should have expected death, and met it ; but here, among Christians, I expected charity and protection, and have met with plunder and abuse." Such must be the fate of individuals who are wrecked on our coast, if Government do no examine into the character of the persons who are placed in situations which require integrity. THE COMET STEAM-BOAT. [From the Greenock Adcerticer of Tuesday.] Since our last publication, although the endeavours to raise the Comet have been unrclaxed, yet nothing has been effected in the desirable accomplishment of the enterprise. Indeed we should have scarcely considered it necessary to recur to the subject, but to afford a contradiction to the many vague reports which have gained circulation. It has been stated that the ill-fated vessel had been moved nearer the shore, that her funnel was at one time above the water, &c. These reports are all without foundation; she remains in the spot she first occupied, firmly (and we fear too firmly to be removed) embedded in the sand. An additional lighter has been provided to co-operate with the others, but their attempts still continue abortive. The hold the chains have of her by the stern is a good one, but that at the how, from the fractured state of that extremity, is very indifferent; and although it frequently encourages a hope that she ix fairly slung, yet when the full pur chase is applied, the failure of a plank or some of the splintered fragments, generally disappoints those hopes, I and renders all the previous labours vain.

On Tuesday the King's huntaman and hounds, to-gethe! with a cart, in which was a fine deer, left Illindior Forest, to proceed twenty-eight miles from the kennel, to be i i , readiness for the ensuing day's diversion. Prince's Ihs• borough, which is twenty- e ight m il es di stant, was the place fixed on for the deer to be turned out, at which pisce a numerous field of sportsmen, of whom a large proportion were gentlemen fanners, from great distances in the tor. rounding country, were assembled, on Wednesday morn. ing, to partake of the day's sport. The deer was turned out of the cart at the usual time at Prince's Risborough ; the deer showed great sport at starting, not running many miles a-head, but making a number of doubles. There was a deal of hard running. The deer was at last over. taken, after a hard chase of two hours. Mr. Davis, the King's huntsman, was the only person up at the time, all the other sportsmen being knocked up. The deer we; killed by the dogs. THE MARCHIONESS WELLESLEY. This lady's grandfather, Mr. Carroll, of Carrollton, the descendant and representative of a highly respectstie Irish family who accompanied Lord Baltimore to Mary. land in the first settlement of that province. He finished his education, as most young men of family and great ex. pectations at that period usually did, in Europe. Return. mg to America while yet a youth, he espoused the cause of independence. With other illustrious individuals he sigrsd the "Declaration of Independence," by which act, in a time of awful' uncertainty and frightful peril, be devoted his life and fortune to his country. Of the great characters associated on that occasion only three are living. viz. th ex-presidents Adams and Jefferson, and Mr. Carroll. Although upwards of eighty, Mr. C. pos sesses all the vivacity and activity of the prime of life; at once an accomplished scholar and a Flelisbeigentleman, less known for his large estates and groat wealth than for his noble hospitality, his simplicity and waamth of heart, his beneficence and active charity, crowned with aspnders honour, and all the chivalry and gallantry of a successful patriot. Free from bigotry himself, he does not appear suspect it in others, and at his board are always found eno-t intelligent Americans, as well as strangers, wl• ti e'r f dth may be. Of two daughters, cue married t. amiable and excellent General Harper, of Maryland, the other (Lady Wellesley . ; mother), Mr. Caton, an lish gentleman, who possesses a good estate in the diate neighbourhood of Baltimore : he is a very handsome, elegant man, and Isis kindness can never be forgotten the stranger reared at his feet. Mrs. Paterson was erei way worthy of her noble grandfather, beautiful, amiable, and accomplished; possessing all the refinements andi. natiors of her charming sex, with a noble and generous heart—adored by her own family, and esteemed and spected by the state of Maryland, the noble Viceroy , welt glory in his bride, and Ireland be proud of his choice. —Glasgow Herald.

St. James's, will include the site of some of tbe premises at the bai the late building. The front of the new building be stuccoed. There will be a portico at the prr entrance. Mr. IVarren, the King's messenger, was sent Thursday evening, from the Secretary of Statz's Ofli Foreign Affairs, Downing -street, with despatches for Continent, supposed to be for the British Ambassador Vienna. Mrs. Peel has been indisposed for some days past, residence in Privy-gardens. It is reported that Mr. 51ytton, oflaton, intends offer himself for Shrewsbury. SUPERSTITION—It appears that Madame Stories sacrifice to superstition. She was taken suddenly Mr. Kelly's, in the presence of a medical gentlimar adviaed her to be bled. The next day . , Dr. Hooper to bleed her, but she refused, because it was Friday in consequence of the delay lost her life.

CAUTION TO BANKERS AND TRADESHEN. — Sane' more than a year ago, a parcel of Bank of England was stolen from the porter of Messrs. Snow and Pal London, and the particulars of the notes were at tht made public; but an interval of so many months h thrown even cautious people of their guard, some pc' no doubt directly or indirectly concerned in the rol have taken advantage of the bustle of the Doncaster and the Yorkshire Festival, to push the stolen prort' circulation to a considerable amount. At Doncaster I 1,0001., at York SOOl., and at Scarborough 3001., have paid; and the holders of the notes have no clue rrli to the persons of whom they were received. Messrs.. and Co. have commenced actions against some, if not* all the unfortunate bottlers of these notes, and it is probable that they will recover the value of the not each case, as they are supported by decisions on cases similar nature.—Leeds Intelligeßcer.
