PARIS PAPERS. PARIS, JULY 26. The King did not go out yesterday, but his Majesty's health is good. Ile transacted business witb the Marquis Dessolles, President of the Coun cil. and admitted seweral persons to pay court to Msjesty, to all of whom lie spoke with much gaiety and General Sarrazin transmitted to the Jory of the department of the Seine, at ten o'clock on the night r.f the 23d July, the following declaration : " GENTLEMEN OE THE JILJET-1 declare to you, iN the ',restore of heaven and earth, as if I were about I. sink tutu my grave, that I mere signed any contract of carriage tut that with Madsme Sarras'n, previously Mademoiselle Ward, on the 11th of May, 1817.

But sooner or later 1 shall be avenged by the Mendels of truth, justice, sod loyalty" A pamphlet, entitled " The tenet of M. Big von." was seized on Saturday, at the request of the Attorney-General, at the house of Delo:may tie , l Mongie, booksellers. Letters from Wi.baden state, that the man named Lnening, who hurl attempted to *mate M. 14-li, the Nlagivtrate, and who was supposed to Here been it.ilueticed by a fanaticism similar to that of Saudt, died on the 18th, in consequence of Mounds inflicted by himself. The Countess De Peralada, who towards the end of List month was proceeding to Perpignan, with the ihtention of parsing some days there, suddenly received frctn the Count Dr Peralada, her husband, Ca-Ambassador of Spain at Paris, • notice which Itametied her departure. it appears that the Count, who resides in Catalonia, had himself received orders to proceed without delay to Madrid. CAItJIU I , JULY 19. Two important notifications were made this day in the name of the Grand Duke, by the Minister Baron de Berstett, to the Fint Chamber. The first notification concerns the approaching marriage of the Margrave Leopold with the Princess Sophia of Sweden. The second apprises the Assembly, in no omelet manner, of the conclusion of a Treaty at Frankfort, between the Ministers of Austria, Eng land, Prussia, and Russia, on the one part, and the Baron de Berkheini, Minister of Baden at the Diet, on the other part. By this Tresty, signed o►► the 10th of July, the integrity of the Grand Duchy, in its present extent, is formally recognised, with the succession of the present reigning family, unaccompanied by tiny burdensome or injurious coodition. The Fir►t Chamber heard these coin inutoications with the liveliest pleasure, and an Ad stress to that effect was ordered to be presented to the Grand Duke. FLANDERS MAIL !RUN, JULY 12. The Government has published some extracts of diptitches which it has received from Mexico, bnt they furnish little information.. They speak of she pursuit of various bands of robbers, of their dispersion, and the re-establishment of tranquillity in one province. However, mercantile letters re. eeired from Vera Cruz, dated a fortnight later than the above accounts, contain some circumstances which are not without interest. They say, that the soyal troops having taken prisoners on different oc casions, those unfortunate persons were immediately shut. Father Terre., whole band is pretty name- Tom, having I.►tely takes eight timpani of the , regiment of Mexico, had seven if them shot in his presence, and sent hock the eighth to the Spa niards, with this message, " Tell your Genetsl what you have seen—if he persists in treating his prisoners with such inhumanity, tell him that I am resolved to use reprisal*, and to revenge the blood of the innocent by sacrificing all the ene mies who shall fell into my hands." These let ters a that the communications between Vera Cum and Mexico are slot perfectly free. and that the convoys coming to that port are always escorted by numerous detachments of troops to protect them. The corsairs of the Indepen dents had hitherto contented themselves with in festing the ocean, hot it appears that they now intend to extend their pillage to the hlediternmean, into which ee lof them have entered to cruise. IF this see is threatened, as is reported, with fresh depredations of the Barbary pirates, we shall have no trade left us—und in the present state of our Monarchy we have not means to revenge so many insults, and to make our flag respected. At the beginning of next month there will be a general review of the troops conspri.ing the army of the expedition at Cadiz. It is believed, that immediately after they will be embarked on hoard the transports which are to convey them to South America. This army has la►ely beets reinforced by 4,000 chosen troops. There has also arrived at Cadiz a great number of sailor., levied on the coasts of the ocean and the Mediterranean), to complete the crews of the most formidable arma ment that ever sailed from the ports of Spain ou so distant an expedition. This year will be one of the most remarkable mentioned in the annals of Spain. The harvest will be every where extremely abundant, and it is calculated that iii the two Castiles will he sufficient for the supply of the whole kingdom for a year.— The vintage of the most delicate and costly wine will he double what it is in ordinary years, and the quality superior. This is a compensation fur our sufferings. FRANKFORT, JULY 20. Their Excellencies the Ministers composing the territorial Committee, met to-day at the hotel of his Excellency Baron Austell, Minister Plenipo tentiary of Russia, where they signed the conclu sion of the negociations at the Committee; tiller this was finished, there was a grand enter's . ' ttttt ent. Lord Chnicarty sets out this evening for lirt..o„ to resume his functions as Ambassador from Eng land to the Court of the Netherlmds. We learn from Bonn, that there have arrived from Berlin some officers and an agent Dl' the police, and several gendarmes. and that they have arrested three Professors of the University, Messrs. H. H. Arndt, and the two brothers Welke►, and that their papers have been sealed up, the Professors leave the city for their prison. At Cologne an author has been arrested, and an officer of justice at Elberfeld ; several arrests that have been made in other places are spoken of. Two individuals are said also to have been arrested in the Duchy of Nassau. IBEILLIN, JULY 17. The papers of Mr. K. bookseller of this city, are sequestrated. CARLIIRUHI. JULY 18. His Highness the Mergrave of Baden was ye.- terday solemnly betrothed to her Royal Fligline6s the Paulen. Sophia %Vilhelmins. (laughter of his Majesty King Gustavus IV. late King of Sweden, and her Majesty Queen Frederic*. VIENNA, JULY 13. A courier sent from Perugia on the 3d inst. has brought the news that the Archduchess Caroline, whose health is pretty well wavered, is to return hither by short stages, under the care of the Coun tess Lascsansky. Her Imperial Highness will ur. rive at Schoenbrunn on the 29th. The marriage of the Archduchess to the Prince Frederick of Saxony, is deferred till the end of the yezir. Except Count Caraman, the French Anibassint,r, wbo will remain in Italy till September, the greater part of the Ministers to our Court will frhorily meet at Carlsbad, where Prince Metternich is also expected. The Aulic Counsellor Gentz, will go there next week. The Prince Royal will go as far as Bolgano, to meet the Emperor his father. We have had here for some time such an exces sive degree of heat, that several persons hare dropped down dead in the country ; near the city, several horses have also perished front the effects of the burning atmosphere. The heat has hem as high us 30 degrees of Resumur in the shade. In the last century the heat never rose at Vienna hut once to 291, sad that was in the year 1748. — (Brawls Papers, July 17.) Letters from Madrid, dated the 10th instant, mention, that Don Luis Owls, the late Spanish Envoy in the United States, the iiegociaior of the Florida Treaty, and the expected siscces.or of CASA laujo, had been arrested in Valladolid, where, tt will be remembered, he had received orders to atop, on his wry from Paris to the capital. CASA lauJo had been conveyed a prisoner from Avila to the con vent of Miravel, which, we believe, is situated in a secluded spot, not far from Avila. Three Judges, under the immediate superintendence of the KING, have been commissioned to investigate the charges brought against both lima° and Owls. King FER DINAND seems determined to make an attempt to exculpate himself. at least as far as the public is concerned, from any blame in the Florida transac‘ tiou. 'THE BRITI SH . PRESS. LONDON, FRIDAY. JULY SO. 1810. Private letters from Gibraltar, which ►eached towu yesterday, state, that General DoN had re ceived by express from Cadiz the important intel ligence that the Spanish troops assembled there refused to embark for South America, and had actually commenced their march upon Madrid. lit a State circumstanced as Spain now is, suffering under the aggravated calamity of a despotic, ■nd yet an imbecile Government—where the military and the priesthood are at once the pillars and the oppressors of the throne—where the nominal depo sitary of the Executive Power can boast no solitary virtue to command reverence and loyalty to his person, and yet unfortunately has no resources by which he might purchase fidelity, a military con. vulsion is an event which might at ally moment necnr without exciting either surprise or regret. But there is one circumstance in the present cum municstion which diminishes, if it doe. not altoge ther destroy the credit which might otherwise belong to it. The letters say that O'DONNEL, the Commander-in-Chief, is at the head of the insurrection. This part of the story it is impossi ble to credit, for, trusted us this General has been by his KING, and having hitherto evinced a very steady adherence to the interests of FERDINAND, II is not probable that lie would thus suddenly assume the character of his most determined enemy. Rumours hail previously reached this country that the troops collected at Catliz were extremely dissa- Ithat they were several months in arrear in pay, and were disgusted at the severity of O'DoNNEL's discipline. The war in South America, like any I other war that may be unsuccessful, is said to be very unpopular, both with the army and the people of Spain—mid as it bears, in many respects, the elms racier of a civil war, it suggests many excuses tai the mind of the soldier to justify an unwillingness to enter upon • contest where uo principle of nos tional honour can excite his patriotism, and no prospect of glory stimulate his courage. Coder' suth circumstances, he catches at uny pretence by which lie affects to conceal frog► himself, or hopes he can conceal from others, the sense of danger which really deters him. The people d• test the war, because it drains off their property iti unavail ing expeditious; but, from the best accounts which we hove received of the kelings and intellectual habits of the great mass of the coininunity in Sitsiii, they seldom raise their thoughts to consider of C. , nature of their Government, or even of the character of the individuals who exercise it. No thing could afford a stronger proof of their indif ference on such subjects, than the apathy they dos. played when FERDINAND, on his return from cap ' I tivity, flung into dungeons and chains the illus. trious individuals who had contributed so nobly and so effectually to unbar the gates of his prison, and at the same time t. restore the nation to the ersjoyrneut of her ancient and once proudly valued rights. Indeed political science has fur three cen turies shed in Spain a light so glimmering and un certain, that should a revolution be effected there by the sudden burst of national i n di gna tio n , w e fear the people would nut be found sufficieutly en lightened to be enabled to turn the event to their general udvantage. We hope, however, that the intelligence communicated in these private letters front Gibraltar may prove substantially correct, fur a. least one great and permanent good must be derived from it to the cause of humanity, in the immediate cessation of hostilities in South America. EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM GIBRALTAR, DATED JULY 10. " A revolution at Cadiz is confidently spoken of. The troops to a man have declared their in tention of resisting any attempt to embark them ; and as an order had been received to embark yes terday 8,000 men for Laguna, it was expected to break out on that occasion. We have had rumours for some days back to this effect, but have paid no attention to them. A person, however, aho arrived yesterday from Cadiz, in whum we can place confi dence, confirms the ititilligelier, which, if true, will be much in favour of the trade of this place, which the Spaniards seem determined to ruin, if possible. Boats going round to Seville with legal goods front hence, are obliged to go to Cadiz sod perform a quarantine of /fry dais, during which the goods, under pretence of fumigat ttttt . are taken out, and either very much spoiled, or totally destroyed." Mr. lissx, from the Bank of England. yester day communicated to the Gentlemen of the Shit k Exchange, in answer to their request, that the Bank declined taking in the Omnium (that that they will not pay the future instalments on being allowed 5 per criit. interest for the advance). This communication produced the immediate effect of reducing the prices of stork one half per cent.; but, considering how large ti portion of the instal ments has already been paid, and that in the future payments of the loan, whatever sums of money may be drawn out of the market, a diminution to an equal amount must be effected in the un funded debt, we cannot suppose that any fall N 'ethich thi4 take iihice on the instant of t h is emu• munication, will be of beg contiouocce. deed., there never Was a moureiet since the return 'of peace at which the Governtnerst 'eremitic* Ought to have been considered so trainable as they are at present. The revenue is increasing--the assurance is held out by the Lords of the Treasury that, with the exception of a trifling lom next year of live millions, fur paying off so much of the debt to the Bank, the 'vein of borrowing has ceased— there is certainfyst Mear exerts of reventie'over the expentlituro of two millions, orpplicalile steadily as at sinkslag food to the duninntiun of the debt—and adalitiotial taxes to the estimated amount of three millions have been imposed, avowedly fur the sole purpose of satisfying the public credits:us, anal which, if the receipts equal the estimates, will constitute an absolute bona fide sinking fund of more than 5,000,000/. which must, from its uature, be annually iticreasing. There is nu good reason for imagining (as the Editor of a respectable Sunday Paper has dont) that Wither reduction must take place its the prices of stock, in conse quence of the future operation of the plan fur the Filial resumption of cash payments ; became the !wee of gold being the crates tort fur abut twining the proper amount of the circulating inealintsi within the country, the present price of 31. ISM. ass ounce skews that the issues of the Bank of &igloos' need he reduced no further. Cut indepesident of this cousideratioo, if by troy farther reduction in the circulating medium the rummy price of all commodities be dii ll ill islitd. in proportion as the actual value of the currency is increased, it most be remembered that the value of the interest derived from stock must be increased also, and will consequently uphold the value of its We s therefore. can perceive no well. founded reasons fair anticipating any permanent fell in the funds below their present price; but, on the cootrary s look fur an additional rise even within the current quarter. Paris Papers of Monday have arrived, but they glued uo corroboration of the report respecting the insult said to have been offered to the King of Win . 1,411111111111. His Majesty still resides at Schwalbach, iihere be lives very retirrtl. It would treat from an article contained in one of the French Papers, that Don ONIS, the late Minister of Spain to the United States, has fallen into di.arace with King FERDINAND, even at the .rery moment when he plumed himself most on the favour of his master. An argument is drawn from this circumstance, that the Treaty whereby the Florida. were ceded to the United States, and a hich was altogether the work of ON will not receive the *auction of the Court of Madrid. The troops of the United States are, however, in pos session of Pensacola and Saint Marks, and we fear that the King of SPAIN, in his tire/it-tit state of im becility, would find some difficulty in rescuing them front the talons of the republicau eagle. Yesterday the Duke of WELLINGTON sod Vis count Illsmitt.t.r. had audiences of the PRINCE REGENT, at Carlton house.

Letters from Stockport state, BIRCH, the con. stable, to be bull alive, and mention that the Ma gistrates, who have with laudable activity investi gated the circumstances of his assassination, have committed to Chester Castle for trial one Bruce, as being present, aiding and whetting the man who fired the pistol. Brute is wsher to Harrison the schoolmaster, and resides in his house. The pistol was fired over his shoulder, and he stood so near that his hair was singed by the flash. ‘Ve hope that this mass may be induced to confess the names of the principal and the other accessary. Friday morning the trial of the persons concerned in the riot which lately occur►ed at Liverpool, during the procession of the Orange Societies. came on at the Town Hill. The trial occupied the Court from ten till half-past two o'clock. The Jury retired for a few minutes. and returned with a verdict of Guilty against all the Prisoners (eleven in number). After a short consultation, the Court sentenced all of them to three mouths imprison ment in the House of Correction. We learn from Paisley, that a meeting or the krritors of the Abbey parish was held there on Thursday se'imight, to take into c-tisideration a memorial from the operative weavers nt the parish, ►toting the great distress undtr which marry of their smother at present labour from wiiiit of employ merit, and requesting that relief which their present circunistaticts an urgently r' quire. The meeting named a Committee, who, with • Committee of the memorialist*. should prepare and present to a meeting to he held on Thursday. sth August, a statement or the number anti circumstances of per sons in the parish who at present retptire relief on account of t h eir want of employment ; together with their (minim) as to tlie ma sinner in which that relief flinty most prudently and most effectually he given. They placed the sum of one hundred pounds at the disposal of the Minister and Kirk Session, for the immediate relief of the most necessitous of the above description. And by their t'rese•, JOHN MAXWELL, E.g. ftlember for the county, they expressed to the memorialists their high approbation of their prudent, peaceable, and exemplary c luct on this occasion, earnestly re commending to them • continuance of such con duct, as the most effectual means of interesting the public in their favour, and of obtaining the sympathy sail aid of those who have it to their power to contribute to their relief.—(Ediaburgh Paper.)
