The Paris Papers of Tuesday, the 7th instant, have arrived. Sir SIDNEY SMITH'S project against the Bnibary Powers is prosecuted with activity in Paris. We have copied from the Moxitear the substance or a revert of the proceedings upon it, made at a public meeting, on the 15th last, iii which it is stated, that upon a full representa tion of the case his Majesty expressed his indigna tion against the outrages which it detailed, but it does not appear that he intimated his intention to take any active and immediate steps for carrying the project into effect. In this Report it will be seen, the Address of the British house or Peers in 1814, is misrepresented. That Address applied exclusively to the Negro Slave Trade, and did not cuatesuidate the European subjects held in captivity by the Bulb:try Powers in Africa. The poor feeble little States on the 'Owes of the Mediterranean, which are unable to punish these barbarous pirate', claiin our pity. Those powerful States, including France, shecli tolerate them, deserve none. Tiie PRINCE RECENT will hold a Levee on 'Moodily, rt Carlton-house.
