PARIS PAPERS. (From l'Etoile of Tue:day.) M. Amun,Nov.2s.—On the (2'2d of this month the first Council took place of the Ministers ap pointed b y the Royal Decree of the 19th. It opened under the Presidency of his Majesty lihnself. It lasted from midnight ' until two o'clock. The King, by an order dated A ranjuez, the 12th Of this Month, and which has just been pub lished by the Minister of War, declares that his 'Decree of the Ist of November, which suspends the epurations in all classes, does not apply to the individuals composing the Royal Guard. They will, on the contrary, submit to the purl& cation prescribed by the speCial Ordinance of his Majesty addressed to the Commandant-General of the Royal Guard. PArrs, DEc. 1.----The Official Gazelle of Madrid of the 25th contains au article in reply to the extravagant declamation of the Jacobin Journals of Paris and London, upon the inde pendence of the Spanish Colonies. This article is in some sort a repetition of those which we have already published on the same'subject. The Spanish writer observes, that when the Revolutionists of the Seine and of the Thames ' speak of the independent nations of Peru, Alexico, Colombia, & c ., they hol d t h e same lan gnage ;;s they were desirous of applying independ en t nations of Naples,' to the Piedmont, and Spain. When a respectable force approaches to take cognizance of the places subject to these ,`.jevereignties of the people, nothing is to be und but a mass of factious persons who are dis sipated like smoke. It will be the same in the ‘ ry World. T he faithful offspring of the '‘lo World. Country, the devoted subjects of the ourbons, are ti iere as in their European domi 16'", a vast majority--a fact which the future tti : demonstrate. One of the grand arguments 6 1 1. the partisans o f A mer i can i n d e pende nce is, ( t,lat it is found e d i n r i g ht, the Mother ,ountry can no longer p ro t ec t it.

We can r e member very r' 1 t' " some time p rev i ous t o th e unprtn 4vi 1 .o an - 4, on of th e S pan i sh territory b y t h e 14 'la J 4 " the Ilidassoa, it was argued, even by "olo tka d f Army o f obser- Itio n e s liebals, that an 3 or q o 't p - iOOO or 30,000 men, if kept up on ‘li t lirelit)ellu frontier, would be amply suir i or enectually protecting France against. any eruption of the moral contagion, the pretended existence of which was put forth as a feeble justification of one of the most iniquitous and unprovoked outrages ever in flicted on an independent and unoffending people. To the proposition of keeping up an Army of Observation, however, instead of resor big to the dreadful alternative of war, haughtily replied, that France would neither submit to the expence of a long-continued pre cautionary measure of this nature, nor would she condescend to remain in a posture of defence against the consequences of those internal coin motions which, as she alleged, had existence in a neighbouring state, and which she possessed the power of at once quelling by the exertion of her military superiority ! We were told that it was even a duty which France owed to humanity, to send her arms across the Pyrennees, for the pur pose of putting an end to the calamities which de solated the soil of Spain, and of reconciling those contending parties of Spaniards who were occupied in staining it with the blood of each other, spilt in the petty conflicts of party Corn motions and of civil war !—The Bidussoa, there fore, was passed. The French army, touching the coasts of Gallicia and of Catalonia, and of Valencia and the confines of Portugal, with its wings, and pushing its advance from the Pyrenees toSeville, Cadiz, Tnritia, Malaga, and Carthagena, has overrun all Spain,—has overthrown the Consti tutional Government and all the institutions to which it had given birth,—and has placed Fmt. DINAND VIE. on an arbitrary throne, where, being solely supported by the bayonets of France, he can only be considered as the puppet of her will, whatever may be pretended to the contrary by French finesse. And having accom plished all this,—having succeeded in completing the work of demolition and destruction,—in ef fecting all that mere violence and brute force can perpetrate, how stands the account at the close of that career of aggression, which has' obtained for a French Bourbon Prince, from his flatterers, the appellations of "the Hero, the Liberator, and the Pacificator of Spain !" Thousands of the best and bravest Spaniards have been slain in the de fence of their country against the foreign violence and domestic treason by which it was assailed , — thousands have been thrown into dungeons to glut the vengeance of their fanatic and blood-thirsty oppressori,—rind thousands more have been driven from their homes, and forced to seek an ayslurn in foreign lands ! French phi lanthronj has proved a most pestilential curse for unhappy Spain, which is even less tranquil than during any one period in the progress of the Revolution ! And, as for France herself, she is still obliged, after all the enormous expences and sacrifices of a successful campaign,— qfter having obtained possession of all the places of strength in Spain,—she is still obliged, after all this, to keep an Array qf Observation on her PNrennean frontier,—to endure the ex pense of guarding against a moral contagion which she boasted her power to eradicate,—and to sub mit to the humiliation of protecting herself against the consequences of a re-action from that very nation upon which she has trampled, and wliich she vainly hoped she might be able permanently to enslave ! CITY, One o'Ciock.—Consols opened this morning at 841-1-, at which price they remain steady up to this hour.—We do not hear as yet of any Express having arrived from Paris, which is supposed to be owing to the late boisterous weather. We have no news or reports in the City. The public attention is mostly engaged with the, trials at Hertford. FottmoN MA►zxE'.—Very little it doing this ,morning in the above Market, except in Spankh Bonds, rf hich opened at 264 to .27. In all other Foreign Securities scarce a bargain has been done. THE ltoyat, FAMILY.--Yeaterday the Prin. is SOPHIA visited the KING At Carlton Palace The Duke of CLARENCE, after accompanying his MAJ Esry to Covent-garden Theatre on Wednes. day night, left town for Bushy Park. The Duke of YORK arrived in town yesterday morn- ing, from a visit to the Earl of VERULAM, at his seat in Hertfordshire, where his Royal Highness had been since Monday, with a shooting party of distinguished personages. The Royal Duke transacted military business with his MAJ Y yesterday after his arrival in London. Yesterday the Lout) CHANCELLOa and the Earl of LIVERPOOL had audiences of the KING. Ibis highness Prince ESTERHAZY, the Austrian Ambassador, it is said, will be removed from the Court of London to that of Paris. A more fierce gale than that which prevailed during the whole of yesterday morning, has rarely been experienced, and we dread to hear of its consequences on the coast. In various parts of the Metropolis considerable damage has been done to buildings, but happily we have not heard of any fatal personal accidents. In the. Green I:athe large tree, near the fountain, at the of the basalt, was blown down ; and in ,e r s k t end St. James's Park some of the trees were stripped of their larger branches. S UN-OFFIC E, Two o'CLocK. HERTFORD.- . --(THIS DAY, TwEI.vE o'CLocs . . (BY tXPit FAS.) This morning,. at five o'clock, Thu:Yell ith Ilunt were removrd frotit the gaol to the Cour They were both in irons, and appeared very corn. posed and collected. The Court is so extremely small, that hundreds ,vho endeavoured to gala admission could not. Shortly after eight o'clock, Mr. Justice PARK entered the Court, which, before six in the morn ing, was crowded to excess. As soon as his Lordship had taken his seat, the prisoners were placed at the bar in the following order :—Hunt, dressed in a suit of black ; I'ro. bent next, also in black ; and Thurtell, in a blue surtout coat. Hunt and Thurtell seemed re markably firm, and appeared to possess more confidence than Probert, who stared about him, and was evidently much agitated. Probert was arraigned on the Coroner's In quest, as an accessary, although he is admitted a witness. On the Clerk of the'Court putting the plea to Hunt, he replied, loud and distinctly, Not Guilty, my Lord."----Thurtell calmly said, 44 I am Not Guilty," and answered the second question in the usual manner.----Hunt said " I will be tried by Cod and by my Country my Lord." They were first arraigned on the Coroner's Inquest, and then, with the exception of Probert, on the bill of indictment. Mr. ANDREWS then said he had a motion to make, founded on some affidavits which he re quested to be read. The affidavits of Mr. Fenton, Mr. Jay, and other Solicitors for the prisoners, which were of great length, were then read. They commenced by complaining that, in the first instance, the prisoners had been deprived of the benefit of their legal adviser, Mr. Williams, by that Gen tleman's arrest, althouglka bail bond bud been of fered for the amount of the debt ; secondly, that the whole of their advisers, except one, had been refused admission to them until mandamus had been obtained iu the Court of King's Bench, coin pelling the Magistrates to admit them; that from the great odium cast upon them from the statements in the public prints, it was , impossible they could expect a fair trial ; that The Times and Chronicle bad teemed with statements (which were read at full length) purporting to he cor rect, relative to the murder of Mr. Weare, particularly that relating to ilunt's confession; that the late horrid transaction had been a sub ject of dramatic representation performed at the Garrey Theatre, fOr which a criminal information had been issued against the Manager : the affi davits then at length adverted to the sale of the papers publishing such statements ; and, after adverting to the state of the publiC mind, prayed that the trial of the prisoners might be postponed. Mr. A.snacws, for the prisoners, then rose, and called the attention of their Lordships to the matter contained in the a (lid!' vits and publications read, and put it to him, as an impartial, just, and enlightened British Judge whether the unfortu nate men at the bar could have a fair trial in the county of Hertford et this moment. It was very improbable, nay, it was impossible, considering all the circumstances, after what had been said and published, connecting the prison ers with the murder of Mr. Wean., that It men of the County could be found who would be wholly unbiassed and unprejudiced against the prisoners. The fact of their professional litdvisers being denied admission to them, to make the necessary arrangements for their de / fenoe, was in itself a strong argument in favour of the postponement. Ile did not mean to impugn the character of the Magistracy of Hertford, for of them he knew nettling, and he would suppose that they of course had good and efficient reasons for denying the Gentlemen ; still the legal advisers were denied their privilege, until a mandamus arrived which com pelled them to . do that which was before sought. lie hoped that he had shewn sufficient cause why the trial of t h ese un h app y men should b e p os t. honed. Mr. Justice PAnK.--Till when ? Mr. ANDREWS said, he hoped his Lordship would not think it too long to postpone it until the next Assizes; but if n►ot until Own, a shorter [e might be uppointed. When our Express left Hertford, Mr. Ax nnEws was still speaking. Mr. Pumr.ips Was to follow on th e same side. The discussion will last the entire clay. Counsel for the Prisoners—Messrs.

There was much good sport on the Laprairic Course, on Wednesday the 11th of Oct. last, being the first day of the Races, and a large concoure of people was collected :—About three o'clock the contest for the Maiden Plate took place, between Mr. Baker's black horse, Mr. Nathaniel Jones's bay mare, and a bay horse belonging to Joseph Odell, lisq. During the first beat, the black led the way, the bay horse followed next, and although not a match for him, run a very respectable race. In the second, heat, the black still kept his superiority, the bay horse kept next, until nearly two thirds of the course had been passed, when Mr. Jones' mare shot by him, and followed the black very closely tp the winning post.—The black won the plate. The second race was for the Steani.boat Purse, and was con tested by Mr. Kauntz's horses, Sir Walter and Listnahago, both vrry fine hones —and the Bedford. The rac e being de clared a dead heat between Sir Walter and Lismaliago, it was decided that they should repeat the race. This last was a great display of power, which seldom has been observed so egnal be. tween two animals. Sir Walter came out best, •althotigh the race was finely' contested by I.isma!w..v.—( The Canadiim Timm ) • Accounts from St. Petersburgh, dated the 4th alt. state that Messrs. ANJOU and %YuANGEL, Lieutemints in the Imperial Russian Navy, who during the last three years have been busied in Astronomical AdmeaSurements on the Northern coast of Siberia, are expected home this winter. Science, it is anticipated, will be much indebted to these indefatigable travellers for many important results flowing from their unremitted labours : The Lamas brought hither by Capt. LASAUEW, from Peru some years ago, and which were play ed the Menagerie at Zarskojesilo, thrive amaz• ingly well. Their numbers are considerably in. creased; which is a decisive proof that the climate and their diet agree with them. After experi. encing a slight frost, unaccompanied by any snow, the weather has again' set in very mild. This will be of importance in .enabling the remainder of the ships to get away. The public will be gratified in learning that our gallant countryman, Captain PAanx, has been appointed Hydrographer to the Admiralty. On. Thuriiday the' Officers of the. Consistorial Court of the Diocese of St. Asaph (of which Court the vener able Dean of St. Asaph is Chancellor), celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of their respected Chancellor's judicial administra tion, by dining together at the White Lion Inn, St. Asaph.— The i)ean was invited, but circumstances connected with his health obliged hint to be absent the mark of resp ect was, h o w . ever, most feelingly and ,politely acknowledged. Mr. MAC2EAUY plays for the last time on Sa• turday, till after Easter. Mr. KEAN plays for the first time on Monday, being now quite well. ACCIDENT AT COVENT GARDEN* THEATIIE.---, On Wednesday night, as the throng at the door of the pit was struggling to get in first, to get a sight of his 31AJEsTv, a young luau of the name of H enry Th omson (a clerk at one of the mercantile houses in the city), was unfortunately pushed down and severely trampled upon. lie was carried to the tavern at the corner of the Piazza, much hurt. 01.0 BAILEY (Tins illy).—Cathcrine Smart was this day put upon her trial, charged with the wilful murder of her male child. The horrid particulars of this case have already been laid before our Readers in the report from Lambeth. street Police-Office, and consequently we are spared the repetition.--Th e witnesses called, particularly the Medical Gentlemen and Dr. Cotton, gave it as their decided opinion that the miserable being was insane, and the Jury, after an able summing Up by Mr. Justice BAILEY ) brought in a verdict accordingly.
