The BRITIIIIII Ps Ess — etunn - len — e — e , l publishing yesterday oseraia: The Paris Papers of Tuesday, which arrived last night, tlo not contain any intelligence of much interest. We are g:a.l to observe, that the continued exclusion of M. de Ca A T AVBIITAND from office, has the effect of turning the atfamtion of the Paper immediately under his influence, to stil• ects in the highest degree entitled to public consider ation. The Journal dcs Debuts, accordingly, has an ably written article on the infamous system of secret police, which, on the Continent, is everywhere substituted for the c?e:s and re2.ular proceedings of the Government. This ";:iiiitical inquisition," as it is very properly styled, is eaergetisally condemned as calculated only to renew the s.:tsadals and mischiefs of the Roman Empire, during its frost degenerate ages. But the French journalist remads that the evil does not rest here. This police, hitherto the Lou:blest and basest slave of power, now aspires to guide aid direct it: it has become the jacobinism of despotism. 'l":.e public authorities are sAuced to the alternative either of not existing at all, or of existing by and Csrough its means. Its triumph is complete. Under presence of defending the Sceptre and Tiara, it has seized tir.m both, and wields them for its own pur poses alone. The arrest of 31. Cousta, by the Central C..:7-.mission of itlayence, was an instance of the monstrous ja7sidietion claimed by that body. More recently, a son M. De veect en tie li•en•NNE, a royalist deputy, of ulcderate principles, has beets denounced as a secret agent c: the liensparCsts, because he was travelling in company with Count de MI. RAT, the French Secretary of :.;m -I.l:sy at Rome. The itle:•tity of the name with that of N •I..)LEON'S brother-its-law, had induced some ignorant ssy to give hifermation to the Central Commission, that use of the emissaries of the political clubs at Paris v.us etapioyed in forwarding the revolutionary intrigues of Isis T.sriy ! If M. de II AVRANNE had been a person of less :u.:equentce, be would probably have been seized, and . unsigned to some secret dungeon, in which the best years his life would have been wasted. Oa Ilundnt the llat nnx visited the Military Prison Montaigtt. It was expected that his Royal Highness )ultllisve otatitineil all the gaols of the capital, but the 1.-Iluence of the /2111111 to have thwarted his in _ rent Spa in we learn, by a proclamation of the Captain ter:eral el Valencia and Alurcia, that on the 9th instant u.'

The Captain-I: , neral considers that nothing 1,3.; than the spec:Al interfirenca e Ibvine Providence save tile two tl IrOnei fn In so formidable an invasion ! .!;.; whomsoever mar bo tqn pt..: and furnished, it thst the Constitutionalists r t hover round the oasts in I umbors sur cat ut to 11:114.1e terror into the ulLerents of the abso:ute system. IVii.tt would be the :•.:(ts of things if the country wore ytthe cleared of the . :!!!;;:h troops? There appears to be a mistake generally current with re ct to the supposed necessity tor dissolving Parliament the close of the next Szssion. As the general elections ~sally take place in the autumn, there can, under the :-.-ptennial Act, only be six Sessions, unless the Crown was kl :;ut7er the leol duration of Parliament to be exhaust ( ; hut as the last general election, that on the Ktere's ss on, occurred in the spring, titer.? may lx seven corn y: •to SL . Esievs of the present Parliament, and almost an (.0 tit. Its legal right of existence will trot expire till the 1314:ith of March, ls'27. We may therefore, without the risk of it:convenience, have two more Sessions; and tr:;der all the oircumeances it is, we think, very probable t!.at flue duration of Parliament will not b.: unnecessarily it'ir:dged of eighteen or twenty months. Ily our advertisements it will be seen that a meeting will b. ituld on T tic3.l3 y neNt, under the presidency of the Idiot) M ATOM, " ti tal..e in..° consideration the best nicatis ct T.reserving the view which has beet accidentally opened t ) public, of th.it beautiful edifice, the tower and spire of S. church." W e are glad to see the disrosition that (-xists to take advaLtsge every opportunity that presents itself for pur pa,:es of pablic improreinem, and we therefore wish well to this project, and are lliiposel to give our aid to its accomplishment. The metropolis has, without truth, leen said to be deficient in public edifices suitable to its wealth and magnificence. The fact is, not that London is destitute of buildings worthy of the taste and splendor of its citizens, but that the pressure and importunity of individual interests bare succeeded in too many instances in biding from public view the structures which would so much have contributed to its ornament. At this day, however, it is gratifying to ob serve, that every occasion is scizei with avidity to restore to general admiration the works with which the genius of our native architects has endowed us. We know no national monument snore worthy of being again introduced to the notice and applause of the public than the spire of St. Bride's church, Fleet-street, the acknowledged masterpiece of Sir Cr tits lor ta W its N. Its position, in the greatest thoroughfare of the City, seems to ;;ire it peculiar claims upon those who are justly and proudly anxious to renda the British metropolis worthy of the eminence it should enjoy, as the capital of the most powerful and enlightened empire of the world. Mr. Canning, we arc happy to say, was much better yesterday. lielvoir Castle, the seat of the Puke and Duchess of Rutland, will be a scene of great festivity during the holi days. Among the numerous distinguished personages in vited are, the Puke of York, the Duke of n ellivon, the Marquis of Anglesey, eke. Althorp, the seat of Earl Spencer, is at present the scene of much conviviality. Among the distinguished visitors are, Lord liesborough, Lord Duncannon, the lion. Colo nel Ponsonby, Mr. Campbell (the Poet), Mr. Littleton, M.P. Ste. Lord G. H. Cavendish has given SOW. towards the esta blishment of a county hospital at Brighton. The remains of Lord Eardley are to be removed on Monday next, from Brighton, for interment in the family vault, Belvidere, Kent, which is to take place on Thursday. By the death of Lord Eardley the title becomes ex tinct, his Lordship's only son having died last year. A large portion of the Noble Lord's fortune, we understand, gees to Lord Say-and-Sele. Tits tare Luny East)! vv.—The Br ig,hten Gowtte, after noticing the death of this Nobleman, says—" His Lordship's death will be generally lamented, not only by his family and friends, but by the public in general ; lie was kind, affectionate, end his benevolence was absolutely unbounded. One trait of his character, which we know to he authentic, we cannot forbear relating. Some years aga a regiment was lying in the neighbourhood of Belvidere, his Lordship's scat in Kent. It having come to his know ledge that the senior Lieutenant, a most deserving young man, though without fortune, had not the means to pur chase a company then vacant; without any previous know ledge of the gentleman, except what he gained from the Commanding and his brother Officers, his Lordship wrote him a letter of apology for taking the liberty of enclosing a check for 1,300 guinns, which was the purchase-money of the company. This and many similar instances of his Lordships kindness and generosity are within the recolice tion of our informant, who knew intimately a brother of the above officer. We are happy to state that Stratford Best, Esq. son of Thomas Best. Esq. has arrived at Longs Hotel, Bond street, from Paris, perfectly recovered from his late acci dent. On Wednesday evening last (Dec. 2 2), Sir Charles Vernon gave a splendid assembly and ball to her Grace the Duchess of Richmond, at his residence in Lower Mount street, Dublin, to which 200 fashionable& were invited. Amongst the company present were— Her Grace the Duchess of Richmond ; Lady Louisa Lennox and Lad y Sophia Lennox ; lion. Captain and Lady Georgina de nous; the Earl and Countess of Meath, and lion. Mr. Brabszon. the Earl and Countess of Charlernont, and Lady L. Caulfield ; lady Mary and Miss Saurin ; lard Loughborough , Lord an d Lady ('aatlecoote, Lord and Lady Rossmore, Lady Dowager Itossmore, Lady Dowager Hartland, and Baron and Baroness Robeck, and a long list of fashionable,. We believe no fewer than four Irish Peerages have be come extinct during the present short reign. Sia ll•acooirr Lees.—The rumour runs that Sir Harcourt is also to be prosecuted for sedition. Ile has only published in a paper supported by the Government, proclamations, that there is to be an attempt to massacre all the Protestants; that the " ignorant cabal in his Ma jesty's Cabinet" are aware of this, but will take no measures to protect the lives of the Protestants; that it is, therefore, his advice, that all the Protestants shall immediately take muskets and bayonets in their hands, and form " a military confederation ;' and that be is fully determined, should the " despicable Cabinet system be persevered in two months longer, to pass in review, as the acknowledged Protector of the Protestant population, the entire Protestant force of Ulster, by which period he shall arrange even • ultt- TAaT ORGANIZATION TOR Tilt PRI:MINI:LOS will tender it a perfect matter of indifference whether Mr. George Canning and the Grenville' choose to protect the Protes tants, or to juin the Priests."—This is all that the doughty Baronet has recently published. We cannot think that the authorities consider it worthy of cognizance. It is not at least as bad as saying that " the King shall be pulled from his throne in six months, unless he alters his system of Government"—and we know that such kflow of rhetoric has been heard, at a City feast, from the lips of an Alderman, without exciting more than transitory asto nishment.—Dublin Morning Register. The Lord Lieutenant of Ireland has appointed Mr. Alderman Darley, in addition to his situation of First Ma. gistrate of Police, Inspectot of the County Dublin Police, under the Constabulary Act, at a salary of NUL per annum. Sir J. C. Mortlock, Cliairman of the Irish Excise Board, was to leave Dublin fur London on Thursday, to take his place at the I :cneral Hoard. Ile is to be succeeded by Mr. Trefusis. This interchange of Commissioners is one of the results of the new system. The old College of Physicians, in Warwick-lane, is to be pulled down, and a street made from Newgate street to Ludgate-hill. The new College, at Clearing cross, begins to assume a handsome appearance. The pe diment and Greek pillars arc much admired. SALE or Ma.

METH ODISTS.—We have received a statement; properly ' authenticated, by four respectable inhabitants of Beverley, (who, from their situation, may be presumed to have equal facilities of knowing the state of the Methodist Society there with the correspondent alluded to in cur list), assur ing us that the original paragraph respecting all the local preachers in the Methodist Society, at that place, having withdrawn front the connexion, is quite correct, as well as the reason that was assigned for their having so done, viz. that the Confi rence Preachers had, in their opinion. be haved unjustly towards one of their body. We also learn that not only have all the local preachers left, but more than thirty members in Beverley alone—one whole society in tile circuit—about fifty members in liolderness—and several in Hull and other parts, all in consequence of this business.

Yesterday, and to-day, the Chamber disc:lased the project of law, relative to what is called the " Deferred Debt ;" which, after a very animated debate, was adopted by a majority of 64 votes to 36. The debt in question was to be paid in Instalments in 25 years, lots being drawn every year to decide which of the bonds should be paid. At the uncertainty with respect to the fate of the bonds al lowed considerable room for speculation, it was proposed, and is now decided by the new plan, to have the lotteries for all the 25 kears drawn in the first year, by which it will be determined and nown at once in what year any particular number will be paid ME The Central Section has made its report on the project of law proposing changes in the tariff of import and export duties. The Prnident proposed to dx the 4th January for the debate of this law, which was agreed to. The Prince of Orange, who was to leave It.

This coincidence has mad.: a profound Impression on the minds of the Russians, who look on this catastrophe as a judgment on Russia for having abandoned the system of Catherine, which was to expel the Turks front Europe, and reestablish the independ ence of the Greeks, who are closely united to the Russians by the community of their religion. " Sir.ce the fatal 19th November the churches are constantly crowded with the inhabitants of the city and country, who repair to them, not so much to thank Ileaven for their escape, as to disarm its anger, and implore it not to inflict more dreadful chastisements on the Russians as a punishment for the indifference they have shown towards their fellow-Christians.

The rlvices received from Lieutenant-Colonel de Steurs continue to be of a very favourable nature. Tranquillity and confidence had been restored amongst the inhabitants, and the Queen recently chosen, to whose courageous presence at the moment of danger the preservation of the capital is to be ascribed, is universally held in the highest esteem. She is shortly expected at 3lucassar, whither she is coming to do homage to the Ginisrimient. The Lieutenant-Colonel, whose intention originally was to de tach part of his troops only, fur the purpose of retaking possession of the northern provinces of the residence of Monis, has since adopted the determination of personally lculing the major part of his force on that expedition, and has marched accordingly. The only rebellious Chiefs on this road (Crain Trinrapolie and Crain Lebakkan) front whom any resistance might he apprehended, have (as we have been infomwd) alwatly taken flight. after having been abandoned by the population of rtnkajene unit Labekkan. The other chiefs of those districts came forward to meet the Com. mandant, for the purpose of professing their submissi o n and obe dience to the Government: those of Labakkan hat! already arrived at Macassar for the 'same purpose. So :e hopes arc entertained of conquering Crain Tzinrapolie and tahalckan. On the 24th the Commandant of the ettpcilitim had arrived tot Labakkan. It was nut apprehended he would have any ddaculty to encounter prior to reaching ]lotus, and thus returning to the territory of the Government The last advice!: from Lisbon are of some interest. It appears that the French Ambassador, 31. Ilyde de Neu ydle, had quitted that city, on his return to Paris, where, as it is alleged, his pre:=cucc would he required at the open ing of the Chambers. This, Iwwever, is not believed to be the real cause of his Excellency's absence front Lisbon. Private letters would rather lead us to the conclusion, that since the residence of Sir W. A'Court, the services which M. Hyde de Neuville could render have been of less int poitance. It was rumoured that a total change of the Por tuguese Ministry would take place. By a letter from Bilboa, dated the 19th December, we learn, thst most of those who possess property are pre paring to retire from the place. The Royalists attack the Constitutionalists wherever they can take them at a disad vantage—nor are the Constitutionalists idle in retaliating. Bands of independent freebooters assail both parties in discriminately, their only object being plunder. In this state of timings it cannot excite surprise that those pos sessing means of escape and subsistence should abandon even their native place. Extract of a letter from the Agent to Lloyd's, dated Con stantinople, Nov. tIG:—" The Capitan Paella has arrived here from the Dardanelles, In a mu-decker, accompanied by a few more Greek prizes.

Extract of a letter dated Zante, Nov. 13 :—" The Hind, sloop of war, passed this yesterday for Corfu front Napoli di Romania, where she hail been sent to receive the money claimed by the lonian Government, on account of the affair off Ithaca ; but I was inftwined that they could recover nothing, and this I am afraid will cause some unpleasant and further hostile measures on the part of our navy." Colonel Gustavus Gustafson, the ex-King of Sweden, has left Aix-la-Chapelle, and now resides at Cassel, op posite to Mayence. His income, we understand, is but scanty. Yesterday the despatches for Bombay and China, by the ship Windsor, were closed at the East India House, and delivered to the Purser of that ship. independent of the literary w u •rits of " The British Ma gazine, the first Number of which is this day published, we were struck with the spirited and highly-finished style in which the female flpircs are given, and the force of co louring, which so well sets oil the fashionable " carriage dress, and " evening dress." The engraved frontispiece of " The Maid of Queenston," displays also an embellish ment of poetical fancy rarely found in periodical works of this class. Ei.o ram a NT.—On Monday last an elopement of rather an extraordinary nature took place in this town. A Miss W—, the daughter of Henry W—, late of Tiverton, Devon, Esq. deceased, not 2 ' years of age, residing with her mother at Taunton, had for some time put been paid great attention to by her cousin, who was likewise her guardian, about Yo years of age. From prudential motives, the mother constantly objected to their union ; but finding them determined on being maniid, a settlement was talked of, but uone was made. The young lady's fortune is cousideralde. On Monday be took her off in a curricle, to pay a visit to a relation in the neighbourhood: on the turnpike road leading to Bridgewater he had a chaise and four in waiting, into which they got ; and it is supposed Gretna-green is the point of their dcatination.—Taunton Courier. Ecors x v.—We observe, by a London Paper of Sa turday, that the recent elopement of a young lady from tie vicinity of Ludlow had c - :eated a sensation in that part of the country where the gentleman bail been fur some time rusticating ; and possessing a handsome person, with the military addition of Captain (whether assumed or real does not appear), he succeeded in captivating the daughter of the family where he resided, who being of the delightfully romantic age of eighteen. could not resist the temptation of venturing "all for love." A clue being obtained, a person arrived in Liverpool, and arrangements being made by the police, the gentleman was spoken to upon a subject, iu whi,th some eminent goldsmiths in London were materially interested ; and about the same time, the fair fugitive ' in another part of the town, was also visited by a friend, but remonstrances were vain. A magisterial investigation took place, and a prompt measure having secured the valuable objects of the goldsmith's anxiety, the gay Lothario was left at liberty to join the devoted heroine.—Liverpool Vreetiser. A IlaotwtoNAGlAN Pr a.—A correspondent, a lover of good cheer, says, that he has just GCCII, at Mr. Roberts, in Fargate, a famous Christmas Pie, which bad arrived in good condition from the oven, and is intended to be at the command of all his friends at the usual hour on New Year's Day.

The celebrated John Ilenlcy, we'll known in Lis d r , by the name of ()kayos HENLEY, was a cletl.7inan is priest's orders, and was frequently mentioned in the news papers of the year 1724, exactly a century ago, as bein4 appointed to preath Charity Sermon s at diff erent c h urches ' , and on different occasions. lie appears, however, in the year 1726, to have entered into the true spirit of eectte. tricity, and advertised frequently in the following stele:— b.
