s TilE 1311ITISLI PRESS. LON DON, TUESDAY. Su menu' ♦. Yesterday weteceived a series of the Paris Papers, oTicial and unoffici ti, to the 24th, from which we h..ve extraded every article of any import.tnce; hut vetwever interest they possessed is entirely ;tb s. rb.:3 bF the important intelligence in the Dutch Papers up to the 29th, which we received at a late hour last night, we believe erelurivetn. The Hague Courant of the 27th announces nothing less than 3 IREsot UTIOM IN TUC GERMAN ENIFIRE..—.I g., t: t . nuncil of State has been held at Vienna, at which the Esarr.nna presided, when it was deermined to publish a patent, making all his titles hereditary in his family, tinder the en pc:jar title of ENIPSROR or AUSTRIA. It was also agreed in the same Council, that new cseden ti sllouicl be sent to his Minister. Count Co lossi zet. at Paris, acknowledging BON AP ART eS nt.‘ title of EMrasos of the Fatten. •The Hague C ~not quotes the Vienna Court Vi:ette as its au. thotity for extraordinary news, of the truth of which we have not the least doubt. Indeed, our readers will recoiled, that we stated some time ago, from our private correspondence, that a proposal to that efred had been made to the Emperor of GER MANY by therevolittionary Corsican, whose Mi sisters, however, thought St to contradid it ; no doubt to please Prussia. and to facilitate its completion.— Where now is that immense system, the Germanic Constitution, of which France and Russia were the guarantees ? Where now are the treaties of Westpha- ha, of Ratisbon ; in short, all those solemn and public bow's by w: ich its various parts have been held to wther in one slid, connected mass? Where are now G ElvCiors, who hitherto looked to the Eurrson as only their representative, and an emanrion from their will? They are ail swept away by this revolutionary patent, which de clares the ele bye Linperor of Gaud ANY an hereditary Emetsoa of AUSTRIA ; and thus the rnit,t v.•••enthle, and the most extensive fabric in the political world vanishes front the face of Europe. it is impossible to conceive a revolutionary ad more estens•ve in its effe is, and which would violate so many estab 'shed corms, bonds, and conn..Etinns a. 1.1 invulving so many variou- and complica . ed in terests and concerns. And yet it is obviously only the first part of a new system of changes is Europe. The King of PeIIISIA, no doubt, will next be dubbed an hereditary Etc sang ; and thus the Corsican _Roll of the French will have still newer Em. per. , rs than himself of the revolutioaary mann factAre, to k-ep him in counters race, while lerziti in 1:e Slvereigns are cnnverted into his puppets, and every thing sacre by custom and usage is rudde the subject of' ridicule an I contem i t. A letter from Holstein, received yesterday, states the arrival in that country. of 15.000 Russian troops, th rr is many more were expeded Cain tin HA RD Noe, who so gallantly cut nut of the Texel, the Atalanta sloop of war, is appointed to the Pro.s'ets frigate.

The Estrum" of GLIMANY gives 100 rix-dol hrs (about 221. 10s. step mg) bounty for a recruit.— The usual bounty has been front 40 to 50 tit-dol l:1.s, or about ten gitioeas. This increase shews ex tra, vinery ette tinn on the part of the Eta r Enos. A letter from Quebec states, that the whole of tl.a fleet from E 'gland had arrived there, except the ship Willione dud Jo* which vessel parted the acct off Ireland. The Tit Pe/IMT, SING!.

The *dole of the French flotilla have returnsd into the inner harbour, with the exception of about thirty sail. A Letter from Antwerp, of the 10:h of August. received with the Gottenburgh Mail of Saturday, by a respetahle house in town, gives a splendid account of the progressive increase of trade in that cue, which, no doubt, our late blockade of all the ports upon the coast of Flanders, to the Eastward, has r,,r.itty augmented. An erred of a letter from Madeira. dated SOth July, says --4* Yesterday morning appeared off the West end of this Island, lour large ships. apparently frigates, and 'hewed American colours t first they *Wort to the Southward, and then made for the land ; afterwards they stood to the South East, and this icy none appear.

A number of flying artillery yesterday arrived in this town, under a strong escort ; its de.tination was vaiionsly reported to be fox Weymouth, and for the Islands of Alderney and Sark.

Itid. and 15.1. per gallon, at which price it continued to be somewhat perma nently sold. A large quantity both of bread and Hour was of course in speedy demand. The market of this town is equally &serving of commendatory report and of imitation in other parts of this county. Fish has been plentiful and very reasonable; red mullets sold at 83. per dozen; bacon by the half flitch 61 single pound tild. ; poultry has been abundant, and at easy prices; new butter 12d. per pound.
