FRENCEI PAPERS. PARIS, DEc. s.—Yesterday the King heard mass in bis apartment.—His Majesty afterwards received in a private audience his Royal Highness the Prince de Carignan and Lieutenant-General Count Bourdesoult. On Wednesday morning at ten o'clock pre cisely, his Royal Highnels the Duke d'Angou lame arrived at the Metropolitan Church, to re turn thanks to the 111ost High, for the success of the French arms in the Peninsula, and to the Holy Virgin for her protection. His Royal Highness was received at the entrance of the chapel by the Archbishop, at the head of his chapter, who addressed to him a short congratu tory speech on the part of the Clergy of Paris. Major-General Count Guilletninot remains at Madrid a few days to regulate. the occupation of pain by the French army. Marshal Molitor and Gen. Bourck arrived at Bayonne on the 26th ult. (Prow the Moriiiettr, Nwp.Oficial Part.l 11 , 1Anatn, Nov. 9.4.--,Though a change of some Ministers 'is spoken of, nothing is yet cer tain,lbecause the Royal decree on the formation of the Council of Ministers makes no change in the members composing It. The Council meets shiny, and we expect with impatience the happy results of its sittings. A good plan of finance is highly necessary to strengthen the restoration. The only object that the Government should propose is to regulate the expenditure by the re yeipts, and not the resources by the expellees ; to observe the greatest economy in the salaries of public officers, now that the revolution has impo i,erished Spain and lost our colonies. The King has given the example of economy, and it is proved that since his accession he has not spent ; one year with another, the moderate civil list as signed him by the Cartes---a fact which should confound the calumniators of our monarch. WV have more Generals than soldiers, and an army of officers in the finance department who con sume all thejevenue. Those two branches re quire the greatest economy. lt is this moment reported that the Marquis of Matallorida is ar. 'rived at Madrid. Novi:Aim-At 'M.—General I3ourmont has ar rived at Madrid, and taken the command of the troops ; he has immediately opened a corres pondence with the Spanish civil and military dimities and the French commanders of the for- tresses. The Count de Fuentes, though very young, has sunk and on inflammation of the chest.— The Italian actress Sala, his widow, is pregnant ; the child will inherit all his estates and titles. Nov. 27.—The Government is seriously occu -pied in the decree of amnesty. It is allirtned that it was proposed to the King to except the Afrancesados, but his Majesty answered, that as, to his knowledge, there were many sincere friends of legitimacy among them, he ought to forget the unhappy times when they had incurred his dis pleasure. Al.Pozzo Horgo will depart, it is said, in four or five drays. His conferences with his Ma- Pity have ;ately been longer and more frequent, but nothing transpires. We hear no more of the journey to the Escurial. Nov. dispatch from Baron d'Eroles of the 18th says, that after a conference with Gen. Idobera, the division of that General, 5,000 strong, submitted to the King, and the Baron, haring drawn them up in order of battle, received their oath of allegiance to his Majesty. PAuts, Dec.

General Quesada hus been appointed to replace him as Cap tain-General of Galicia ; but it is said that he has not accepted the appointment. The police yesterday arrested a man named Paulin() la Calle, 'who is hUiLI to be one of the assassins of the unfortunate Canon Vinuesa. The same force have also arrested Manuel Santorio, sou of the itevtilutionist of that name, and Member of the Madrid Tribunal. lie had been in Madrid only one day pre vious to his 'arrest. We learn from Cadiz, under the date of the 19th instant, 'that there arc at Gibraltar nearly 1,269 Constitutional refugees. The English Governor having refused to tolerate the residence of these fu3itives, they have resolved to proceed to Africa, -where the t.;overnor of Tangiers has -undertaken -to give them a favourable reception, in return for certain rich presents made to bins by two HAI Merchants.

The Greeks of the Conti nent and the Islands have resolved to erect a Monument of Carrara Marble to the hero Marco Bozzaris ; 400 Veneitan se quins have already bctp- sent for this purpose to a 'Hanker ,at Leghorn. It is said, Icts Impel ill Matt sty will shorty make a promotion in the order of the tiulcen GREECE, TURKEY, &c. -~ (Irma the German Papers.) FRANX FORT, Nov. 25.—Accounts from the lonian islands say that dispatches sent from London to Malta have given cc mann to very active communications between that Island and Corfu. The lonian•Oovernment is stated to have sent an agent to Greece, who is commissioned to inquire into the opinions of the Chiefs of that country an certain circumstances. These re ports, though rather vague,:haVe caused great sensation in the lonian islands. Letters from Constantinople of the 25th October say " Though the Franks in general will not believe it to be the fact, it is asserted on good authority that a Russian Diplomatic Agent will soon arrive here. For some days past it has been generally reported that the Turks are besieging Missolnnghi by Rea and land. But as the Capitan Paella was seen on the 16th of October near Salonichi with only 23 sail and two trans ports, the truth of this news is th:abted. At the same time people ask what may have become of the other vessels of. the Capuan Pacha'a fleet. ' TilltrrE, Nov. 16.—Direet accounts from Alissolunghi of the 22d October - relate that the Paella of Setttari and Omer Vrione with 12 or lii,ooo men were at that time five leagues froth Missolunghi, which is in the best state of defence. Andre Metaro was the . Civil Governor, and Constantine liozzaris with 5,000 men had gone front Missalunghi to observe the Turks, who had not yet made any attack. These reports add that Maurocordato was expected at Hydra with 12 vessels and some troops, and that Pietro, Bey of the Mainotes, was coming front the Illorea with 6,000 men. It may, therefore, be pre sumed that decisive events will shortly take plate in these parts. A ship_ front. Calamata brings news from Missolunghi to the 27th October, by which. we had that au rocord ato really arrived in the.Merea on the 24th. Private letters from Corfu say that the Turks have entrenched themselves near Mis solunghi. Lord Strangford signed on the 25th of Oettober, at the Pa lace of the Reis Effendi, a treaty of friendship and commerce tier the Court of Sardinia, by which the Genoese vessels are to have the free navigation of the Block Sea. The Porte has not yet ratified this treaty in the usual form; a Sardinian vessel was preparing to sail in a faw days for the Black Sea. sAN'KFoit r, Nov. 30.—The actual Government of Greece is said to have been informed, by secret agents who have come from the lonian Islands, that the Minister of a Great. Power had caused a very circumstantial memorial to be laid before the Emperors of Austria and Russia at their interview at Czerno. wits, the object of which was to prove that in the present state of things it would be advisable to form at St. Petersburgh an European Committee, composed of Plenipotentiaries from the Sovereigns:- of the Holy Alliance, which should be coal.; missioned to discuss the affairs of Greece, and propose plans for the future settlement of that country. It is affirmed that this Committee will certainly take place under the in fluence of Russia'; and it is said that Count Nesselrode is to be President. Our last letters from Vienna speak of new alarms among the rest merchants on account of the affairs of the East, the issue of which is considered very problematical. This opinion is the more credited, no the Austrian Funds con tinue to decline. [Front the Conetitutionneq Rants, Dec. It is reported that. the Duke del Infantado has been compelled to quit Madrid. Tutkotrrzi, OCT. 28.—Among the If eterists, of whom so much has been said in Europe, there are many no doubt of noble sentiments, and who desire tho true liberty of Greece; but the others have been accused by their countrymen of wish.' ing to get rid of the Pachas only to take their places as Princes, in imitation of the Nobles of Russia, where most of the ilete rista have been educated. The Greek Government, however, soon discovered this tendency ; and, shortly after its establish ment, abolished the emblems of the Ileterists, and substituted national emblems in their place. The Chiefs of this party, however,_ did not So soon forget their ambition ; they grew dis contented, anti encouraged discontent. Negris was one of the most ambitious, and at the same time the most incapable—and the Government has recently found it necessary to turn him out of his employment. Colocotroni lately joined this party, and. thought by his intrigues to disconcert the Patriot Illaurocordato. They attacked him on the ground of wishing to place Greece under the protection of - Tihtghtnd, but their efforts have failed. In general the Greeks are qUits at ease as to the protection of England, because they think the true policy of that country is opposed to this line of proceeding. The object of England is to prevent the aggrandisement of Russia in the East; but if England should take Greece under her protection, that would be untnediately a motive for Russia to make herself mistress of the North of Turkey, and to seize on Constantinople. Mauro cordato, however, disgusted with these intrigues, left Tripo-, lltza at the end of July to go to Idra ; and then the discontent of the people operated so on Colcotroni, that he united his efforts to those of the Government to persuade him to return. In the mean time, Maurocordato has not been idle ; but has distinguished himself by his exertions at Idra and other places. . •(Fi•am the Pilate.) ' CONSTANTIN'OPLU, 25.--Whilst the journals of Smythe, and their contemporaries were announcing the defeat of the Greeks, the latter gamed a signal victory at Lapsi on the Ist of October and following days, over the Schapetais-Al baneso of Skodra. The loss of the Turks was 2,0011 men.— The Greeks had 200 men Idled and 15 *omen ; for the Eto., lien females have formed corps, which do not yield in valour to their husbands and brothers. They have also to deplore the loss of one of their best Captains, Starnaris 'hatches, who died with 'Ms arms in his hands. It is said, that after this combat the Albanese commenced their retreat; and indeed the thing seems so certain, that we may regard the campaign as terniinated. DEMERARY, OcT. 17. [EXTRACT ter A. LETTER.] On alp 2411 i and 28th of August 1 wrote you. By these eceninunications you would see the state of these fine Colonies brought to the brink of ruin by the mad fanaticism of the Mitt:denary SOcieties in England, interfering with materials they did not nor cannot understand. They have succeeded in unhinging the old feelings of affec tion and obedience between Master and Slave; both now look upon each other as natural enemies, and we trust to the bayonet only ter our rights, and in this awful state of things must re. mum until the Mother Government do away with the delusion that yet possesses the Negro mind. Besides the discussions in Parliainent and at the African I nsti. nation, they, in their zealous malevolence, have been for a long time circulating pamphlets and caricatures among the Negroes clandesinely,and preaching doctrines by theirMissionaries,total: ly subversive of all government and resteeint. The Nth chapter of .1 °shun was pointed out to them by one of these Missionaries (now on his triel) as the order of attack on this town ; but by the hand of l'ro valence this awful denunciation of God's wrath against the city of Ar, was frustrated by the complete check given the re bels, within mileteof town. At oil periods, such conductcannot he contemplated without horror and strong resentment, by good men, even out of the reach of the probable evil judge then of our feelings for the last two months, trusting only to the arms in our hands and to Clod, for our honour, our pro:. perty, and our lives. But what will posterity say when it is clearly established, that this undue interference took place at a period when the whole Indian proprietary have been ac tively employed In the improvement of the moral and reli. gious condition of their Slaves—yet it is at such a petiod that these visionaries have been tampering with the comfort and happinese of 700,000 of the happiest peasantry in the world, blaming the prospects of 100,000 loyal eubjects, and jeoparding 140 millions sterling of British capital. These circumstances we foresaw as likely to follow the die. eussions in Parliament, and at the African Institution—we were not, however,.aware of the sinister means taken to hurry it. We now feel all the horrors we anticipated, and but a little time more and the whole resources of the British Empire (mighty as it is) will not be able to prevent the dire calamity to its extreme paint. The soil the Empire may recover, but the lives (of bond and free) and the entire other property will erase to 'extee; besides, the shock of such a calamity to the national Wealth, must be fatal to the 'Government and td indivieuals holding property. We will antler first, but the vengeance of God must (Mr take the Government and people who dare, by falsehoods and calumnies, assume to. 'themselves his Divine attributee, in defiance to their own sacred engagements and guarantees to these unhappy Colonies, to }tinted them since their first establishment. Let the people in England weigh well the stake they have at issue; the well Intentioned of them will surely stop short and try to retrace their steps=-the daring and wicked will only prepare themselves for the spoil of the ample. field that must offer itself to their plunder. It is to he hoped, however,. that moderate counsel will pre vail in his Majesty's Cabinet When the accounts get to Eng land, and that altered. and efficient measures will be taken to meet the evil, before it is too late.—( Glasgow Courier, Dec. 4.) • [FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT AT PARIS.I PA RIV, Dtc. 3.—ftitle - petident of the event which has given rise to the present apparent rejoicing, the Parisians are known to exult on Occasion of riny fête, and in' a degree beyond what is observed in any other 11 - Won. In fact a fête or holiday, as must be apparent to the slightest observa tion of any foreigner, is held in greater reference and respect, than even that day commanded by the great Author of our Faith to be pre-eminently sanctified. No tradesmen work on the days set apart 'for fetes, though they will be found eau' cising their trades on the Sabbath day. Yesterday, at an early hour, more of the shops were shut; greater tranquillity wevailed, and fewer people were observed on the public streets in general, than on any Sabbath through out the year. About one o'clock the crowds about the Tuileries and Champs Elizees were immense, to witness the arrival of thak Prince, who has been an instrument in the hands of a French army in counteracting the efforts of that class of persons in ,Spain who had struggled for a Constitution on just and liberal principles, and restoring Ferdinand to the plenitude of his power, as an absolute and uncontrouled Monarch. The Due d'Angouleme, attended by his Aides.de-camps, en tered the gate of the Champs Eliges i between one and two o'clock, upon horseback, where an Address was presented to him by the Prefect, full of fulsome flattery, in which he is denominated the " Fearless Warrior, a Conqueror without vengeance, and whose sword has consecrated the legitimate employment of valour and arms." To this an answer was given that " any thing might be done at the head of a French Army !" " Hear this, ye Foreign Powers !!" He rode down afterwards the 'Champs Miles, which was lined with spectators, and a party of young girls were stationed atone part to present him with flowers. Al discharge of Artil lery then announced his arrival in the Tuileries gardens, where several thousand men, under arms, were stationed, composed of the National Guards, and some of the troops which had disembarked at Brest from Spain. The King, Monsieur, the Duchess of Angoulemeoind Duchess of Berry, appeared at the centre window of the Tuileries, and remained sometime to see the different troops pass before them. The Duke of Boor deanx did not honour the ceremony with hie presence. The Duke of Angouleme then joined the Royal group, when the spectators shouted " Vive le Roi et le Due d'Angouleme." The walls of the houses of Paris were covered with large hills, addressed " To the Inhabitants of Paris," calling on them to receife the Prince in a becoming manner, and pointing out the great objects he had accomplished in Spain. On many places were boards exposed with lines full of flattery, and com plimentary to the Duke, " Sprung from our Kings." The Authorities recommended the City to be illuminated.— If the opinions of the Parisians, with regard to the ex pediency of the war to extinguish the flame of liberty in Spain, are to he ascertained according to the number of houses lighted up, on this occasion, there will appear a most woeful minority in favour of the justness of this contest. Not one-third of the city was illuminated. The most distin guished were the Chambers of Deputies, the Hotel of the Mi ulster of Finance, and some public offices. In some of the principal streets, such as the Rue St. Honare, many of the shutters of houses were entirely closed, and others did not ex hibit a single light. In short, thousands of houses were not illuminated. The gate of the British Ambassador I observed was shut, and en each side of it, fronting the street, was erected a pole, 12 feet in height, with a wooden frame in the shape of hid( a diamond,with the letter A surmounted by a Crown, anti in small variegated lamps. The whole of this illumination was as paltry and miserable an exhibitionets can be figured, andmust appear in that light to any one who has observed the most com mon illumination in the provincial towns in England. The mode here is to place oil in a circular hollow earthen vessel the size of a biscuit, with a wick in the centre, and tolay it in a direct line on a shelf along a black board. There are no devices, such as you see in London—no brilliancy. On this occasion, though the' Tuileries, as may be supposed, was illuminated, yet not a single light was seen in the apartments of the King, Monsieur, or Madtne. Telleyrand's house was completely in gloom. A number of strangers have flocked to Paris to see these exhibitions, which are denominated " Superb and Alag nifique." The sime-blacks, which were planted along the streets, had an excellent harvest from the rain which fell, and the mud collected from the crowds that moved to and fro. Every hackney-coach and cabriolet was in a state of requisition. The fête to be given by the city at the Hotel de Ville com mences next Tuesday, and will be followed by others, which are to continue a week. ... _ I should have observed, 'in reference to the public entry of the Duke, and, es it were, to keep up the interest of the piece, some of the military who had come troth Spain carried stands of colours, which appeared as if perforated with shot, and to shew the Patislerts thatttlevedfut rencontre the French lira sus tained to restore the beloved Ferdinand to his just rights Illadame 'lousier, on her acquittal, returned to her shop in the Rue de Is Paix, under the sign board " Maisel: de Com. merce." I see her behind the counter, and the place daily at tracts a crowd of people : Kostolo, her chere amie, is to be sent directly out of the kingdom. I perceive you have inserted the advertisement as to my poor friend, the Greek Bishop. Never was there absolutely so real an object of compassion. Nine thousand eight hundred and twenty-three Bibles have been circulated in Ft•ance, by the activity of a Bible Society established in Paris. The weather is extremely mild to-day, and the thermometer, at 8 in the morning, stood at M. The addition made to the Post. Office esta blishment, by the appoiutment of a Packet to sail regularly for Buenos Ayres, which will also convey letters for Chile and Peru, hi a groat point gained for the mercantile interest. Th. first of the series will sail early in January next, and others in the first week of every succeeding month. Some inconveniences, how ever, are likely to attend the present arrange ment, incidental, indeed, to the packet system generally as now conducted, and the remedy of which is so obvious and easy, that it need only we conceive, be pointed out to be immediately applied. The packets for Brazil, which convey letters to Madeira and Teneriffe, as well as to the different provinces of that rich and ht proving country, are also appointed to sail in the first week of every month, and as many of the merchants who correspond with Brazil have establishments likewise in Buenos Ayres, Chile, or Peru, they will be under the necessity of pre paring all their letters for those places in the sante week, which, if detailed instructions a re required in any mercantile operation, will ho, wholly impracticable. Independently of the in convenience to the merchants, a loss will arise to the Post.otliCe itself, as the greater part of the let ters will of necessity be• intrusted to private ships from the impossibility of getting ready for the packet. The early part of the month is also fixed for departure of the packets for the Mediterranean, so that nearly the whole correspondence in which a general merchant can be engaged is compressed into the short period of one week, leaving the re mainder of the month comparatively idle. All that is wished by the merchants, and no request can be more reasonable, is that the sailing of the packets may be distributed over the whole month, leave it to the Post.otfice to deter mine what packet or packets shall sail in the Ist, 2.d, 3d, or 4th week. If the system of dispatch ing nearly the whole in the first week is perse vered in, when additional packets are establish ed, as they shortly will be, to Columbia and Mexico, the inconvenience will be intolerable.— (Times.) By an Address by the Governor of Cuba to the Inhabitants of that Island, dated August 20, we learn, that the late contemplated insurrection was of the most formidable description.

ROYAL NAVY, &c. l'onTssrounr, DEC. 6.—On Wednesday arrived his jetty's sloop of war Clrasshopper, Captain J.

She sailed from St. John's on the itch ult, and from 11:trin (where she deposited housing and provi sions for the winter consumption of the Clinkz.r). on the :MI; touched, at royal 7th, and Saint Michael's the oth of No vetnber. Some of Lord Cochrane's cruisers had burn oft the Azores, and cut up the Portuguese trade 'a good tienl. She also touched at Lisbon, where she lay a week, and sailed on the 6th instant; left in the Tagus our squadron of obser vation and Protection, consisting of the Revenge, 78, Vice- Admiral Sir Harry Neale, K.C.B„ Seringapatem, Captain S.

The Revenge was awaiting the arrival of the Windsor Castle, 74, Captain Charles Dash wood, front Plymouth, when she would proceed to her ultimate destination—the Mediterra nean, touching at Marseilles ' to embark Lady Neale, and thence to 11ralta. The squadron In the Tagus appeared In high order, and healthy. The King of Portugal was highly pleased with the presence of the ships, and the ele gant attentions and hospitality of Sir Henry Neale. The Portuguese Fleet, of which two or three frigates only are in commission, were in a wretched condition. The Portu guese talked of fitting out an expedition to recover possession of' the Brazils, but there were no evident symptomi of prepara tion. The Portuguese (even the better order of them), are very ignorant of public affairs : they were silly enough to believe, that the assembling of the British ships in the Tagus, was with the object of assisting them to reconquer their South American pos sessions. The Grasshopper fell in with, on the 9th ult., a Portu guese frigate and a corvette, with a new Governor on board for the Azores. The old order of things is said to be contrary to the taste of the people there, among whom some ebullition of feeling might be expected to develope itself. Lady Thornton arrived at Lisbon on the 23d ult. The Pandora may be daily expee - ted from St. John's.
