PARIS PAPERS. ( From Me Constildionnel. ) PERPIONAIY, Aua. 19.—(Private correspond e have received intelligence from Cer (fugue, dated the 18th, at nine in the morning. At was said the enemy were at Berga and at Bag°, bat it was not believed that they intended 'to march upon French Cerdagne. Nevertheless, the Royalists of Puycerda and of Spanish Cer dagne were removing their effects upon Mont Louis, and the Authorities of Puycerda had taken -refuge at la Cabanasse, under Mont Louis. Our troops, however, occupy Puycerda, and the con voys for the army blockading la Seu went as usual. The same accounts -state, that on the 12th -the forts of ht Seu ceased to fire, that they had 'communications with the town, and that the Go• -vernor was permitted to purchase sugar, coffee, and other articles for the sick, but the next day, the 13th, the fire re-commenced, and it continued every day as usual.—Five hundred prisoners taken by Milans, belonging to the Army of the Faith at Calaf, have been marched upon Lerida. PARIS, AUG. 9,7.—M. Biaquiere, whose de parture from Greece was stated in the Constitu- Hound, has returned from that country, where he was received by the Government of the Pelo-] ponnesus as furnished with powers from the Hellenic Committee of 'London. He has- col lected the most interesting materials for the History of the Greek Revolution, which he in tends to publish. We propose to lay before our readers the information which he has communi cated tows respecting the present situation of a country Which still fixes the attention of Europe, and respecting the advantages offered by the loan which the 'Greek Government proposes to contract.

BAN 0 N 1 7 , AUG, 21.- . --The news received 115 y hy . the'army courier ix not of much importance in itself; IMt it is, however,. ein duty to say, that nothing extraordinary has occurred. The capital is extremely tranquil, French troops continue to arrive there, in consequence of orders given seine time since. An arrangement is more spoken of than ever,as hav ing been concluded nearly 'on the basis which we have already awed ; by virtue of w bleb mi' for its accomplishmen t , the French troops would withdraw to theleffhanicof the Ebro, which opera. tion it is presumed would be etfected:iwas short a time as pos. bible; for, it' the Royal Fondly and the Cortes are impati e nt t o leaveCatliz, an army may be glad to retire front a country which is not healthy this season of the year. Preparatitins,however, are still making thr the siege of Pampeluna, as it' no arrange.. went was thought of, and, to judge from die immense quart. tiny 4f heavy cannon which will be employed aping the place, it seems impossible that, it should hold out. Private letters from the South allude to it 1710*.ITICIlt Of eight thousand Con. stitutional troops under the command of Generals; Milans and Lloberas, by which they live entered, or, at least approached, the French territory near Puycerda, after a severe action with Baron d'Eroles in the environs of Calaf. It is said that the Monks, and, in general, the Clop in Spain', are much dissa. tidied with the prospect of a termination of the war without the restoration of tlleir estates and their 'power; and, it is added, that should an arrangement unfavourable to them be conclud ed, ugreat many of them mean to leave the country. A per. sop, from Tolosa, affirms that the Marshal is going to remove bis: head-quarters nearer to Pampuluna. News has this mu. anent arrived that Corunna has opened its gates to the French .4tioys ; we have no bullain, THE LATE POPE. The deceased Pontiff was named BARNAHT CHIARAMONTI, born at Cesena, in the Romagna, lon the 14th of August, 1742, and elected Pope, at Venice, on the 14th of March, 1800; he was therefore, at the time of his decease, in the Std year of his age, and in the 24th of his Pontifi cate. This venerable personage was Bishop of Imola in 1796, when Buonaparte entered that town with his army; and the. reception which the French experienced from the Prelate was so charitable and mild as to secure the, latter the favour of the Repo:1)11ton General, whose influence was supposed to Lave been after wards employed in promoting him to the Car dinal's purple, and finally to the Popedome— Pius VI. died in captivity at Valence, in 1798, at the advanced age of 82 ; but it was not till March, 1800, that it was found possible to pro ceed to the election of' his successor, when Car dinal Chiaramonti being chosen, assumed the name of Pius VII. Ile did not take possession of Rome itself till November, 1801, when a me dal was struck there with the inscription, Sol re fidget. His occupation of the throne was marked by an act of liberality, in remitting to the dis tressed inhabitants of Pesaro their taxes. ' lie also made many promotions, particularly con. (erring the honour of knighthood on the cele brated Canova. In the - years 1800 and 1801 he caused no less than ten vacancies in the College of Cardinals to be filled sip, among which was the nomination of his Private Secretary, Hercules Consalvi, whom he also appointed Secretary of State. In February, 1802, he re ceived at Rome with great pomp the body of his venerahle.pretlt'cessor, which Buonaparte caused to be transported thither, wishing to conciliate the good opinion of the Catholics. Steps indeed had already been taken by the First Consul to reconcile France to the Church of [tome, and with this view a Concordat was signed on the 25th of July, 1801,and Pius V I I.,in September follow ing, sent Cardinal Caprura as a Legate to Paris ; together with the Bull of ratification of the Con cordat. A new circumscription of Dioceses was agreed upon, and the Legate was authorized to institute the new Archbishops and Bkhops. On the 24th May, 1802, his Holiness delivered a re nurrkable allocution on this subject in a secret Consistory. When Buonaparte assumed the Int pole! title, he persuaded Pius VII. to come to Paris to Crown 'him. The latter delivered an al locution on this subject on the 29th of October, 1801 ; left Route on the 2d of November, and reached Fontaiuebleau, w here Buona parte received him in great state, on the 29th of that month.— On the 2d of December the Coronation took place, and from this time, Buonaparte having ob tained all that , he wanted of the Pope, began to prepare for depriving him of all his power. At one time," says he to Mr. O'Meara, 44 had it in contemplation to take away all his temporal power, and make him mg Al moner." to the 3d volume of Las Cases' Jour nal, Buonaparte is described as speaking in the most contemptuous terms of the discussion which teak place on the part of the Pope with Win at this period. Ile does not, however, state whe ther he gratified the Holy Father by solemnizing a regular marriage with the Empress Josephine. It is probable that he did, and that his subse quent marriage was consequently invalid, and his son illegitimate, though the mistaken pride of the House of Austria would never suffer this point to be fully investigated. On the 16th of May, 1805, the Pope reached Rome on his return, and was received with great joy by his subjects. In the course of 1807, Buo naparte having made many demands on Pius VII. with a threat of occupying his capital on non-compliance, the latter, on the 2d of February, 1808, published a solemn protest against such occupation. This was answered on the 2d of April following by a Decree, in which Buonaparte said " considering that the Pope had constantly refused to make war on the English, the provinces of Ancona, Urbino, and Mace rata should be annexed to the kingdom of Italy." His Holiness sent a deputation to pray the ri gour of this Decree might softened, but Bounaparte 'replied to them, " Your Bishop is the Spiritual Chief of the Church, hut I am its Emperor ;" and on the 17th of May, 1809, Ire issued a Decree, annexing the Pon tifical States to the French Empire. Pius VII. opposed to all these violences nothing but the purest Christian humility, hut lie combined with it the most unbending firmness. He never would anathematize the English nation—he never would make war on them—he never would declare that they were the enemies of the Church. Buono parte caused him to be seized by night, and drag ged, at nearly 70 years of age, from Rome to Fon tainebleau, where lie was kept as a State Prisoner until the downfal of the tyrant in 1814, when he was immediately restored,to his dominions, and proceeded to revisit them without delay. His Proclamation at Cesena, on the 24th of May, on his return, is highly interesting, and exhibits a mind of great strength at so late a period of life. The same day he once snore re-enter ed Rome, in the midst of a population enthusi astically delighted at his restoration. He imme diately employed himself in re-organizing all the public institutions, and has ever since devoted himself unceasingly to the affairs of the Church, leaving the.direction.of Civil and tem• porn' affairs almost wholly to isis Minister, Car dinal Consalvi. Pius VII. wns'admitted by Buo naparte himself to 'be -mild and amiable ; he abounded in real Christian charity ; and though so long subjected to the most unjust persecu tions, never evinced the least symptom of a vin dictive rpirit towards his enemies ; whilst towards his friends or benefactors, and particularly to the English Nation and Government, he always testi , lied the warmest gratitude.

Notwithstanding, t h e whole must be accomplished within the time spe cified, viz. four years, or the cadet cannot be graduated with his class; he will be turned back and allowed one year more, and if then found deficient at the ensuing examination, he retires from the institution without a diploma, and con sequently cannot obtain a commission in the army. Besides these requisites, in order to pas s through the Military Academy, gOod conduct must attend the pupil in his whole course ; minor ,offences are punished in the scale of merit, and the greater by confinement to quarters or by dis mission, as the'cuse may merit. Rolls of merit are kept, by which the standing of each cadet in his class is determined. Each particular branch of studies in each class is kept separate ; by a comparison of the rolls, and attending• to the weight and importance of each of 11w several branches, this Academic Board de termine, at the examinatio n in Jnne, an order of general and aggregate merit in each class ; ac cording to which, the members of the class are arranged and enrolled 'from first to last. The relative importance of the studies in each class is as follows :—Engineering and the art of war, 3 ; Natural Philosophy, 3 ; Mathematics, 3 ; Practical Military Instruction,2; Geography, History, and Moral Science, 2 ; Chymistry and Mineralogy, 2; French, 1 ; Drawing, 1. To which is added conduct, estimated as •highly•as any of the studies, and, without which, all the information gained in the course would be of little avail in the public service ; it therefore ranks as first on the list, and is estimated at 3. After the examination is completed, a merit roll is made out, and sent by the Superintendent, to the IVar Department. The five. first of each cluss,as an honorary distinction, have their names inscribed in the Army Register, which is pub lished annually, specifying the studies in Which each excels. _ The academic honours are announced by n re commendation from the Academic hoard, up. proved by the Superintendent in a diploma, stating that such are qualified and recommended for, Ist, the engineer ; 9.d, the artillery ; 3d, the line of the army, infantry or cavalry, as the case may be. The establishment at West Point is every way worthy of th e fe public—it is on a scale propor tionate to the exigencies of the service. The government and interior regulation are admirably calculated to produce the best results ; and the whole is conducted with a degree of precision, order, regularity, and impartiality, that reflects the highest credit on all concerned. Yesterday, a t one o'clock, as a gig, in which were two gen tl emen , w as passing along Bridge street, Blackfriars, a hackney chariot ran vio lentlY against it, threw clown the horse, and snapped th e s h a ft e lf close to the steps.— The gentlemen w ere placed in a most peril ous situation beneath the body of the chaise, as the horse in 'endeavouring to extricate himself kicked with great violence, and ran off at full speed towards the bridge, with the broken shafts at his heels. He took to the pavement to avoid u coal wagoon and fell down. O n risin g he made for the road, but was fortunately secured by some part of the itarness having caught the tail of the waggon . O ne o f the Gentlemen was taken up w ith a seve re contusion on the fore head, a n d his face streaming with blood. His compauion miraculously escaped mama. LIBERTY OF TIIE PRESS IN INDIA. We have received the Bombay courier of the 19th of April, containing Calcutta intelligence to the end of March last. In the report of the pro ceedings in the Supreme Court of Calcutta on the 30th, an argument was maintained by coun sel in behalf of some of the principal inhabitants, against the registry by the Judge, of the late rule. - 0f.444, b. whit i Governor-General :. for imposing re straints on the press, and win s t raquisite, we believe, by the constitution of our Indian Go vernment, to give it validity. The principal points of the Governor-General's rule appear to be, that no Journal can be carried on without a license from the Government, and that this license may be withdrawn at pleasure in case of misconduct, of which the Government of course' is to be sole judge. We have published. the de cision of Sir F. Macnaghten on this subject, which is given in a tone in some degree favourable to his character for independence, since he appears to have resisted one most obnoxious clause in the proposed rule, by which it was left optional hi the Government to refuse or to grant licenses to journals already established, thus conferring the power, by withholding it, to punish for past offences. In the spirit of such restraints the Judge concurs, as essential in his opinion to the preservation of our Indian possessions, though he declines giving the power to punish by an ex post facto law. Sir F. MAGNAGIITEN then proceeded tadeliver his opinion on the question. • His Lordship said that it was a great satis faction to him to be thus called - upon publicly to deliver his sentiments upon this occasion. He was sorry that any one who knew him should think him such an impostor as to wish to conceal his opinion on this subject. Every one knew his Lordship's connexion with the Government. His Lordship .amid that he had nothing to do with the formation of the rule now before the Court. It had certainly on former occasions been the custom to consult. the Judges on any rule of Council which was about to be passed into a by-law, and accordingly his Lordship observed that he was applied to, but refused to have any concern in the framing of it. He was applied to a second time, and asked if he saw any objection to it. To this," said his Lordship, `'l replied, as I think, without "compro mising my formal refusal, that there had been an oversight in those who drew it up relating, to the fines to be imposed upon individuals who may unintentionally offend, and at my suggestion six words were added to the rule, and thus it now stands. It appears to me to be assumed in the argument.. that Calcutta is as tree a land as England. Whether it be advisa ble for the liberties of Englishmen, or for the inhabitants of Calcutta, to grant a free constitution to India, I shall never in quire; but I shall always rejoice at the spread of liberty. I know that many are of opinion that India is a proper country for the introduction of the same liberties as those enjoyed by Englishmen at home; but I also know that others are of quite a different opinion. Among' these, Sir William Jones, a zealous and ardent lover of liberty, is one : and he says, that the introduction of liberty into India would be worse than the most odious tyranny. "-If we are to have a (reel constitution in India, I shall be glad if any one who can do so, will tell me upon what principle we can found our right to it. I must own Ido not know the text or the comment. I must execute the laws as I find them. I confess I am at a loss whence the ides, that a British subject, or any one else, has right to the liberties of England in this country, i u s L ca t t l yile: l etwy: ,r n e has arisen. I really . know of' no place where there is more rational liberty than in Calcutta. Industry is encouraged there, ever knew f a want of ;: ll be, where tklitiilrioiltn:n.ldahvigwvyaevie:earlitleinanaliztlinnaowhatritiefnelorgnferiheetao,e;dna. press coming in oo ntlhiengexinv,,,,ilonn aasmilntahneyy tact with such a Government as this is, is quite inconsistent and incompatible, and th ey cannot stand together. What have been the consequences of Air. Buckingham's transmission ? A gentleman has conic forward, has taken the charge of the paper, and has told the Government that they cannot send him out of the country do what be will. But may not a rule be established to meet such a case ? It is very true he cannot be sent nut of the country; but where is the repugnance to the British law ? I repeat again, that this Government and a free press are incompatible, and cannot be co-existent. I say, that the ground upon which ' he claims any exemption to that to which an Englishman is liable (I solemnly declare that I mean no offence), is the ground which every sircar. every bearer, every colt', nay, even every mihter in Calcutta, can urge for the same purpose. nadniYfnetael,Nal.eienr:w,to it corn " With respect to the property which any gentleman may have in this paper, I believe there is no intention to refuse it a license. I speak from conjecture, but I would not register the act, if retrospective objects were contemplated ; and if any one will tell me that he has such a fear, I will engage that he shall have a license, because I will not register the rule unless it be granted to him. If the papers are to be like the prices of stocks, to depend for their value upon the defeat of the enemy, 1 would put an end to such stocks and such stockjobbing.' With respect to Mr. Buckingham ' his Lordship observed, that after having been openly bearded by hint, after every means of defiance hail been made use of by him, the Govern ment had acted very leniently towards him. " Now, had I," said his Lordship, " been in the situation of Government, I would not Have allowed a copy of that paper to have left Cal. cutta by my dawk. But such outages as those contained in Mr. Buckingham's paper rendered it the bounden duty of Government to send. him home. " But is this regulation according to the laws of England ? Ido not know the repugnance. By the 13th Geo. 111., power is given to the Government to establish laws for the admini stration of justice in the Factory of Fort William in Bengal.— That of the 21st, gives them power to make regulations for all their possessions ; and the 33d gives them power to send home unlicensed persons, or to forfeit the licenses or such per sons as may behave improperly ; 53d recognizes and continua this power ; and these acts protect the Government front any thing that British subjects can do. In England, a power masts equivalent to that of granting a license; for if a man carries on die business of a printer there, without giving notice to the Clerk of the Peace, any Magistrates may issue his war rant to a constable, or other person, and order the house of the ,offending individual to be broken open, and seizure to be made of his presses, types, and all his papers." This, although not strictly a license, his Lordship contended was equivalent to one. His Lordship concluded by saying—" I have before said all that I can say. I had nothing todo meth the framing of this regu lation, but now I will take the whole blame of it upon myself, though whatever merit it may possess 1 have no claim to it. I do really think that some such regulation is absolutely neces sary, and that it would be quite absurd to refuse to register this act. If the Government abuse the power it vests in them, they are responsible for It. I once more assert that I make this one of the conditions of registering► itthat a license shall not be refused to any paper now in existence. Taking the view which I have already explained of this Act, I shall feel it my duty to order it to be registered."—( Times.) On Thursday night, about ten o'clock, a gen tleman, in crossing New Palace-yard, observed a young man, genteelly dressed, in a melancholy mood, surveying the River Thames in a wistful manner from the stairs at Westminster-bridge, till at lust he entered to the water's edge, took off his hat and coat, and was about to plunge into the stream. The gentleman culled out to him, but he got into a shallow part, and seemed not to notice that he had been called to. pro ceeded on till he sunk ; but by this time the gentle man, who was a swimmer, had his clothes off, and having followed, got hold of him, and saved him from a watery grave. The account he gave of himself was, that lie had been beat and treated by strange men at an adjoining public. house ; and, as he could get no redress, he did not care for his life. Ile said he was a surgeon, and lodged in King -street. The gentleman was taking film home, but h e was m et on the way by an acquaintance of the y o ung man, who describ ed him as addicted to drinking, and when drunk, as mad.

LONDON, SATURDAY, AUGUST 30, 1823. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. We have !.received by Express the .Pilote of yesterday and the Etoile of Thursday. Their contents are of considerable importance. The intelligence from the Head-quarters of the Duke of ANCOULEME, at length completely establishes The accuracy of the opinion which we have for some time past expressed,viz. that no negociations for peace had actually been commenced. On the contrary, the Prince had sent in a flag of truce, for what purpose is not explicitly stat ed, but making a demand of some kind, non compliance with which, after a prescribed period of time, was to be followed by an attack upon Cadiz at all points. A party within Cadiz would of course propose hninediate submisiion, and upon the decision of that proposition probably depends the fate of Spain, or at least its national inde pendence, and its enjoyment or privation of free institutions. As to the threats of the Duke of ANGOULEME, we do not attach to them any great importance. if he cannot obtain possession of Cadiz, without entering into a treaty, it is our fixed belief that he will and must treat. The experiment of an attack may indeed be made, in order to afford an opportunity for trea chery to develope itself; but if that fail, it will be the last attempt of the French to effect their objects by force, unless they are compelled to continue a defensive and retreating warfare, by what is not very probable, an obstinate re solution on the part of the Constitutional Go vernment, not to treat on any terms.

According to the Repo! t of the Duke of REooto, it might seem to be p ro b a ble that Corunna has received a French garrison• There is, however, something so obscure ona unintelligible in the Marshal's accounts of t he operations before that place, as to warrant the suspicion that the French are practisioF some deception respecting it. The present D l5. patch, for instance, says that General louacl' has informed the Duke of REGGIO that the Count of CAItTIIAGENA (MORILLO) has announco ed to the Regency that the garrison of Co,. i
