PARIS PAPERS. [From the Elate.] Pants, AUG- 22.—The Madrid Gazelle of - the' 16th instant contains in its official division the Decree of the Regency relative to persons con fined, which, has been forwarded to all the tribu nals and judicial officers of the kingdom. It has the folloiving preamble:— " The continually increasing number of streets Whict the people, in the excess of their zeal and love for the sacred per son of the King, cause to be made of the persons of different individuals, under pretext of their adhesion to the Constitu; tional System, has mete 'particularly claimed the attention of she Regency of the Kingdom, the members of which, impressed with the necessity of remedying these evils, and of the general 'disorder which might result therefrom, bare deemed it ifkum tient upon them to renew the enactment of the Royal Decree of the Ist June, 1814, by which the King, Our Sovereign, pie vented similar disorders at the period of his return to Spain from France." Mere follows the Decree of the King which iriterdicta abb. tr.ry arrests on the pretext of political opinions.l • lII* . Au rx.TnitonistatAstY CONVEYANCE.] " iqatonsp, An c. 16.—The Government has received news from Cadiz, dated lath'inst. The King and his august 'tardily were in good health. " The discontent of the tr66ps Of ilie Ude aild *of the inha bitants is loudly manifested, in consequente of *bleb, the /loyalists no longer - restrain the expression of their sentiments of fidelity. " On the 3d of August, Riego left Cadiz *ith g,OOO men, with the design of gaining Malaga ; but the fire of the batteries, and soon after the musketry of the French and Spanish Allied Army, promptly made him repent his temerity. This f.silltre has substituted discouragement for the enthusiasm which this rebel had endeavoured to excite amongst his troops. " We have learned from deserters, some of whom are offi= ters, that the Cortex had circulated a rumour, and even given details of a pretended decisive victory obtained 1))i Rallastefos on the very eve of the day on which he made his submission. This General, said these *evolutionary °facies, bad driven the i'rench troops, sword. in hand, from Carmona. In order to punish the Royalism of this great city, he had imposed tipdn its inhabitants a contribution of thirty millions of reals. This was Dot, howeVer, all the vanquisher bad marched on 'as far as Terre del Ore, and razed that post to the gtrdtitid, for having Afforded an asyhun to monks and religious fraternities; finally, that all was over, itnd that the corps of Zayas, united to that of Hallasteros, was going to compel tint troops to raise the siege of Cadiz. How terrible must havebeen the disappointment When they learned that, far *OM beating the Frencit troops, Balks. teroshad submitted to the Regency of Madrid. " Throe day's before this sortie by lAhd, Riego had Attempted cue by sea, which was equally unsuccessful. He had embarked 1,300 ittell hi about fifty boats. The French naval force cap tured several, and amongit those citi board were several officer*, who are deeply compromised by theft' revohttionary conthict. The other boats preelpitateo regained the port. The troops or the line inspire a just mistrust in the rebels, they now only em: ploy the militia of Madrid. • _ " The preparations for the ,irmnettate bombardment of Cadiz have been so ncticely forwarded under the superintendence of the General Count tie Ilourinont at Seville; that already lb gun boats, bomb-vessels, and other cructi have descended the Guadel , quiver, and 17 others will ihno`w in ;► few days. " General La Reetiejaquelin has taken Ilayofina. " Corwin* has been act on fire in lice of six different places. At the departure of the courier it was not extinguished. it The Duke San Carlos has transmitted the following letter' from the Minister of Foreign Affairs at Madtid, to 31. the Duke de Doudeanville, a Grandee of Spain of the first class, anti Peer of Prance:— " TO Tiff: MACE liE notnrAurlLLE, " VERY EXCELLENT Slit—The Regency of the kingdortt hits received, with the greatest joy, the letter which your Excel. lency has addressed them, and which accompanied the act of adhesion to the principles of fidelity and love tatrards the legitimate Throne which the rrench Grandees of Spain have strengthened, by uniting their sentiments - to' those which haite inert expressed by the Spanish Grandees in their address of the' 3 . 0111 of May, and that of the 20th of June.

" [Prom the journal de belntts of Saturday.] PAWS, AUGUST 23,—Some Journals to-day publish very strange news. They wished to diseover at first, in the Ortli.i rdinee of the Duke of ,Angoulerne, the germ of a division be- . tivetin the French troops and the 110yAlitit population of Spain: —bet them not deceive themselves with this hope t if the Prince Generalissimo, alive to the maintenance of his word,- and the honour of our arms, has published the order of An.: ditjar on his aide, the Regency has issued a decree at Madrid to release the detenus who had not been arrested by viritte• of orders issuing from the regular tribunal. These two decrees have caused great joy . to the friends of order and justice, and the agreement of the mu and military authorities to produce a cessation of deplorable excesses has begun to re-establish con: lidenee and disarm the spirit of party. It was observed; that die arbitrary arrests which took place in various places, in disobedience to the orders of the Regency. had been made by fiery Revolutionists, who had all of a sudden become ardent Royalists. It is impossible to say to what a degree the Doke of Angouleme is revered : his religion, his integrity, his pa dente, his humanity, his courage, are praised to the skies by the S'panisli Royalists, and his word is as powerful In Spain as his army. f..)h the other side. it is- not true that General Molitor ha* reviewed the army of liallasteros, or that Ballasteros had 12,000 men. Ile had only 7,000 tit the time of the capitulation, anti they are now reduced to 4,000, the remainder having returned home. These 4,00 men are now in our pay, like the army of Morino, and they will march against the Cortes like the army of Morillo,, if the Duke of Angnuleine should order theni. L ast ly, ro 1) 01' 3 44 constitution has been nor will be pro. patil to tale Cortes. But in all times and places personal capitulations hat% been agreed tai in order to terminate revo. lotions. The King declared in his Speech at the opening of the last Seasiou Let Ferdiniu VII, be free to give to his people institu tions which they can hold onlyfrom him, and which, by se curing their repose, wold dissipate the just inquietude of Fiance—from that 1T101141,1t I solemnly pledge myself to you, Gentleitien, that Inistilities will cease." Neither the Duke of Angoulerne nor his 3lajesty's Govern. mint have forgot the Royal words;` never will the yeapitulate w i t h Trvi d u tiogisfy, never will they treat With the Cortes as a political Ludy. They desire, without doubt, that Spain should be free, and - that she May prosper tinder die shadow of Institu tions equally distant froth despotism and anarchy, but they pretend not to impose laws ais for King Ferdinand to decide with Ida 'Councils that which ought to be done for the happi ness of hit people. Attending hrthe &tides pUblishetfollicially in London, it may appear as if the Roncli (Merriment had thought the most proper means of terminating the disorders of Spain would be to grant an amnesty, and to re-establish the indent Constitution of the State--that is to my, to revoke the ancient Cortes. That idea seems At once generons a'nd rea sonable. However, let us await events at Cadiz; a few days moreof patience, and we shall know whit to think on the au kieet. Ittissa MO lin PORTE. PARTS, AvonsT,23. The following is the Copy of a Note addressed by the Russian Minister,. Cognt N'tssEt.nonr, to the. .EIS EFFENDI of. the POILTE, in.teference to a Note of Lord STnANQFottD, lately published PETURSBUnH, MAi 18. I hairy ketelved the letter which your Excellency has done me the honour to *rite me through the meditiM of Lord Strang ford, and I hastened to lay it before the Emperor. nis Imperial Majesty has ordered me to return the following answer :—lle sincerely congratulates himself on seeing express ed In it the profound conVictiOn that the maintenance and con tinuation df peace between the t*o empires have always been the objects of his wishes. The Ottoman Porte must hale long ago been assured of this. .The Emperor; ha! claimed rights ithich are secured to him by treaties; lie has pointed out the dangers to which the violation of these treaties would expose the Ottoman empire; Nit be hat; never been actuated ,by, hostile views ; and even when, in the midst of a deplorable complication, his warnings and counsels have been disregarded, he has never, through the. intervention of his Ministry or of his Allies, addressed to the Porte any other representations or propositions than such as still aitested a real solicitude the the interests of the Porte. It is therefore with justice that the Atnbassador of his Ma jesty the.king of Great Britain has assured dl►e Turkish Go. vernment of the amicable dispositions of' the Emperor, and of the moderation Which directs his policy. The sentiments of his Imperial Majesty are not changed.— He has learnt with satisfaction by the letter of you , / Excellency, that the Ottonian Porte adheres to the execution of treaties ; that, faithful to the usage and reitpecting the rishts.pf Russia, it notifies to him the nomination of the Hospodars in,.the two principalities; that it had given orders to the Turkish troops Of evacuate the provinces, and that it would alb)* them to enjoy the privileges which are conferred upon them by treaties. The first step of tire Porte towards the definite adjustment Of the differences which have arisen between the. two empires could not belt be agreeable to his Majesty. It permits him to hope that the other points which remain to be regulated will scion lie arranged in a manner conformable to the interests of his empire, and to the rights which treaties secure to hint--; The continued progress of Lord Strangford in the negotiation which is intrusted to him, joined to the evidence of facts, and ttl the scrupulous eictUtion of the orders given by the Porte for the entire evacuation of Walachia and Moldavia, will thus offer to the Erripefor the possibility of renewing lig ancient relations with the Turkixl► Government. It is only then that the esta blishment of a Russian legation at Constantinople can take place. this Attssian legation Will then he charged with the care of the generat negotiation; Which bad Veen opened before the events of Itl2l, and will pursue it on the same base, and after the same manner ; for this negotiation having nothing to do - with the existing differences, can only be resumed *hen they are entirely arranged ; but this is the result which it is chiefly intended to bring about. The true interests of the Ottoman Porfe demand it and to prove how much it enters into the views of the Emperor, his Imperial Majesty has authorized me not to express, in the pre sent letter, observations which several passages of the dispatch of your Excellency, and more than one of the late measures of the Turks Governtnent, might give rise to. Lord Stra,ngford will main inoWn to the Divan the opinion of his Majesty on this subject. My august master tiattets himself, that Such a proceeding on his part, and the object of the new communications of Lord Strangford, will be appre, elated by the Porte. I have the honour, &c. (aligned) Colint MESNELRODE. THE GREEKS AND TURKS. Tat ESTE, AUG USV 4.—Several vessels from the Archipelago bring news that the' Gteek Admi ralty is at present engaged in preparing for the etecution of a very bold;project, which may be pfoductive of the grerttest advantage to their cause,- if it succeeds, but may also be 'very fatal to the Greek. It is nothing less than to transfer the theatre of war to Asia Minor, and to make themselves masters of Smyrna. It is affirmed, that for the execution of this project the Greeks hate assembled a flotilla, with a body of 1'2,000 troops, collected from the several islands of the Archipelago, which have shewn the greatest eagerness in the cause of independence. We ex pect with great impatience the further details of this plan, the execution of which mgt now have commenced. The Greek Admirafty has chosen the dioment when the Captain Mucha is in the , lonian Sea,and on the Coast of Candia, where the Greeks do not think he can tthdertake any thing important, because they have been able to prepare for a vi gorous defence ott all the points that are threat: cued. The Divan had received positive information of this expedition, and for this reason it sent Ibrahim Pacha with some thousand Amen troops to Natolia. He is to assume the chief com mand of a new army that is orgatiiiing there, of which the troops he has taken from Constanti nople will form the vanguard. The success of the expedition' Will principally depend on the part that the numerous Greeks of Asia take. If they do not come to assist the landed troops, the latter may be considered as lost, for we must expect that the Turks will do their utmost to expel the Greeks from that iin portant province. A report is likewise spread that tho' Captain Paella has received orders from Constantireuple to return, with all his fleet, to the coast of Asia Mi nor, to attack the Greek fleet. The expedition projected by the Admiralty' will thus far, at least, have the' advantage of acting as a poWerful di version to induce the Captain Pacha to leave the lonian Sea and the coasts of Greece. He has not yet, however, quitted tire neighbourhood of Pa , tras. It is not known what he intended doinv, on that conist, , for there is no opportunity to strike a great blow there, and his land force is besides too small to attempt it. It is certain' that the Egyptian squadron is still at Alexandria. The plague, it is said, has ceased, but the Paella of Egypt does not think it prudent to let his fleet depart.--(Brussels paper.) . _ Thursday afternoon, at the Grove House, dington, a gentleman, for a , wager of a sovereign, Mtn penny►piece seven times in succession with a musket loaded with shot. The penny was thrown up at a distance of 15 paces: If the article from the Journal (h's Debuts (see a preceding column) is official, it is, at the pre sent juncture, of great importance. It fur nishes tl solution of the question respecting the nature of the alleged negociations at Cadiz, and unfolds, at- the same time, the real views and expectattons of the French Government, in the efforts which they are now making to bring the war td a close. Our readers ate aware that we have for some. time past express. ed our conviction, that the French entertained the confident hope that the possession of Cadiz and of the li t N o 's person would be delivered into . their hands ; soon after the arrival of the Duke d'ANdOui.ENt E a t p'ott St. Mary, and that they wetild only resort to the last expedient for obt a i n i ng peace, by t r eating with th e Constitution a l G o vernment, in the. event of those hop es b e i ng f rus t ra t e d which' they h ave ° founded upon the ascertained treachery of a powerful p arty within the Walls of Cadiz.— Everr the D ecree o f t he Dale d'Agobtmum which has left to' the Madrid Reg e ncy no thing but its Hume , a ppeared to us to be an unequivocal indicatbah of the policy to which , we have just adverted. In confirmation of the accuracy of that conclusion, the Journal des Debais now thiorms us tiiat ctlid jibiitical Con: stitution has been, nor will be proposed to the Cortes. Btiti in all times and places, personal capitulatiods have been - agreed to in order to ter minate revolution: 4 ' " Never will the Duke d'ANoourAstE nor his MhiEsTY's Government capitulate with Revolutionists! Never will they treat with the Cortes' iii a political body!"-- Now, the first remark. which we shall make upon all this, is one which cannot always be applied, to French declarations, vii. that it 'is explicit and intelligible. That even this declaration, howevers is by no means remarkable for...sincerity, or Caliddiir, or con sistency, can be inade apparent with very little' difficulty. 'ln the same `breath in which it is haughtily proclaimed that the French "never i will capitulate with revolutionists," it is admitted that " in all timer and places, personal capitula lions- (with these persons styled revolutionists; have been agreed to!" According to the notions of dignity entertained by the French Govern-H ment, - thtirefore, there is neither improptiety nor dishonour in treating with ithliCiduals, who hOe the baseness to betray their principlesi to violate their oaths, and to desert the cause of their friends and of theit country, whilst they re' coil with affected horrot from the proposition of coming to' an arrangentent with the very same persons itt 'a collediVe capacity. According! to thisnest principle of political indr4lityi it is honourable to conclude a treaty of amity with every "' revolutionist" who stipulates, as the ' 1 priCe Of his treachery, that he himself shall be ' continued in hii rank and employment's, and shall continue 'to rtneive his accustomed emoluments . from the coffers of France, whilst it would be dishonourable to treat with the Corteri as a body, although they should stipulate (not for the pH ! vote advantage of their individual Members), but ! ! for the and independence of their country! The French have done, and are continuing to do, that very thing, (treating with revolutionists,) %ilicit, in the delUsion of their own arrogance and vanity they pretend to disclaim ; and, of the two modes in which the accomplishment of the thing was possible, they have, by their own acknow ledgments, chosen the one by which alone the re proach of baseness could be Cast upon them, and from %thich alone they could receive the con taminationof dishonour !—Sitch is the 46 false po sition" into which tho se are necessar il y l e d w h o with to retain a character for principle,after having proceeded far in a career by the very commence ment of which every principle of justice and good faith was anttageously and wantonly violated ! Dia the, assertion of the Journal des Debuts that the. French will never treat with the Cortes, as a political bedb can only be considered as by. perbolical. If the French army Should encounter a serious disaster,--if it should even be driven out of Spain,--w ill France never treat with the Spanish Government !—lt is all very well to threaten, in the confidence of success, that they wiU never treat ; bat that threat would be for gotten in the depression of adversity !—Let the French recollect that their success is not yet cumplete,—that their triumph is not yet sure! We will add, that if the plot for giving up the KING should fail, they shoed recollect that their own discomfitdre is almost certain ! If is admitted by the Journal des Debate itselfi that only 4000 of BAI.LAsTEnos's army have remained with him after his defection t The rest are said to 'have rettitited . to their homes ! --;-. If the war should continire, ire shall perhaps soon hear that their' homes are the camps of the Constitutionalists, and that their occupation is the mountahrand Guerilla warfare which has already been felt so annoying to the invaders 1 CITY, Ttielie &Clucks—Consols opened this morning at 824-4, at which they remained steady.

TATERAitt NOTICE. ME3iOIRS of a YOUNG GREEK LADY; or, Madame PAULINE ADELAIDE ALEXANDRE PANA:II, versus' His Most Serene Highness the REIgNiNor 'PRINCE Of SAXE- COBOCIIG. [Continued.] We yesterday bfielly noticed this- work,',and should not have resumed our attention to it, if we had not observed that-a tespeetable Morning Paper - treats it us " scandalously libellous," and adds, that" no one can read the, whole Carefully without discovering that' there is much of false hood, and still more of exaggeration;" We are as little inclined to give currency to " scandal" and" falsehood" as our respectable contemporary, but we have read the work "carefully," and have no interest in its truth or falsehood, except what relates to justice and humanity. We respect high station because it is conducive to the order and permanence of- society, and we are ready to acknowledge that tine distingnished characters who are introduced in this work, are, as th e preface says, " treated with very little ceremony -;" but the•question is, have they de served such treatment ? When we see that the fair heroine supports her cause by letters from Lord STEWART, our Ambassador at Vienna, Prince METTERNICH, the. Grand Duke CoNsTAN TINE, Count de Titonorr, the Duke de RIcHE-_ ElEu, Baton tie MOHRENHEINI, and many other Personages,. now who took an in terest in her sufferings , atid endeavoured to relieve then, and Whet' no misconduct is im puted to hor beydnd that Of Original trans.: gression in being the victim of seduction, as she statesi at the age of fifteen, .we do not think that we have shown too credulous a ciiSpotitjoi) in considering tile work altogether as something more than that of " a' discarded mistress relating the story of her own wrongs." As this produc tion has excited so Pinch noise abroad, it will probably not remain unanswered, and most ready shall we be to render justice to every individual whose character may . have been defamed, and: whose conduct risisrepresetited. After all, if the work should really prove to be a Mere tissue' of falsehood or exaggeration, which may be deemed almost impossible, supported as it is by document apparently so strong, the heroine can only draw do her own head that mass of infamy which site has endeavoured to heap Hpoil others, particularly as they are of id() high rank in Europe to suffer it to pass without notice., PRICE 0 TUIS ()AY AT STOCKS NI , : O'CLOCK. flank Stock . . lntlia Stock 3 per Cent.

The following important Circular has been nd4 dressed to the beneficed Clergy. of Ireland, and k certainly the best commentary for explanation that can be offered on the recent Act , fur did composition of Tithes : • • (CI RULA R.) Dublin Castle.— August, 1823. " Stn.—ln transmitting to you the enclosed copy of an Act, which has been passed for the establishment of a composition for Tithes in Ireland, I think, that it may be convenient to bring before you, in a more compendious shape, the several provisions which prescribe the measures to 'be taken by the in cumbent or owner of Tithes, in order to give operation and effect to the law. " You will observe, from the Ist section, that, in order to bring the Act into operation in any parish, it will be necessary that an application should be made to the Lord Lieutenant, either by the Incumbent, or some five owners or occupiers of land in the parish to the annual value of .201., and, upon that application, the Lord Lieutenant will have it in his power to, direct the assembly of a special Vestry, the business of which Vestry will, in the first instance be, to discuss with the Incum bent, the propiiety ofeompounding, for 21 years, for the Tithes of the whole parish. "If the Lord-Lieutenant directs the Vestry to assemble, it will be the duty of die incumbent, or of the five owners of, occupiers of land, as already described, (accordin g as th e ap plication for the Vestry may have been made by one or by the other), to require the High Constable, or other Collector of Grand Jury,rates or county cess within' the parish, to deliver the lists of vestrymen required in the 3d section of the Act. 'tlf the Incumbent rind the Vestry do not agree in the pro.; prtety of making a composition, no furtherproceeding can then be had upon the subject; and it will only remain for the In ctimbent to certify such result to the office of the Chief Secre tary, as directed in the 10th section. _ " 'But, if the Vestry and Incumbent shall agree that a com position is deniable It *ill be necessary that a memo ran d um of that agreement should be made, at the time, and signed by both parties, as directed in the nth section, upon which the In• cumbent on his own behalf, and the Vestry, on behalf of the parish, %fill each p:tocced to zioininate a Commissioner, quali. tied as required in the 14th section, to fix the amount of annual composition: " It will be requisite for the Incumbent, within seven days after the appointment by him of a Commissioner, to give notice to the Bishop of the, diocese, to the Churchw a rd ens o f t h e pirish, and to the office of the Chief Secretary, of the name and place of abode of the person so appointed by him t and,' in case any other persona, besides himself, are enti t l e d to any portion of tithe within the parish, it will be necessary that a sim filar notice should also be transmitted by him to each of those persons. The particular trovisions on this s u bj ect are contained in the 13th section of the Act.' " The duty of the Commissioners, when appointed, will be, t 6 ateettliin and file the atriotiift of annAld toitipensatlon, in the manner, and according to the rules laid down in the ltitit section. " This they, under particular tircinStanees, be an opera tion of some difficulty and delay; a provision has therefore been introduced in the 27th section, for sanctioning a previous. agreement between the Incumbent and his . parishioners ;. and I am particularly anxious to call your attention to this clause, as affording the readiest, the least expensive, and the most ami cable mode ofsubstituting a fixed composition for the uncertain payment of Tithes. " That section enacts that, if the Incumbent shall have been able to make an agreement with the Vestry, for the payment of a specific sum, and such agreement shall have been sanctioned by the Bishop of the diocese, and the patron of the living, the duty of the Commissioner; shall in that case be limited to an a a p t p i3 ro ti ve thatd of'the h a e h s rr t e u ei n u a en gt t e e s 3 t o ri n ad is e i , provided lotlessthan that t they the e ave r a g eshall b an o .. nual receipt on account of Tithes during seven years preceding 1821. • " It will, I am confident, be obvious to you, that, under this section, an Incumbent, who shall be able to come to an amic:a.' b'e understanding with his parishioners, 'on the subject of an annual composition, (which understanding may, and, probably will, be preliminary to any proceeding whatever under the Act ) will be relieved from much subsequent vexation, from much delay, and from the expellee of defraying the salary of a Com. missioner, for the long period which may, under some circum• stances, be necessary, for otherwise ascertaining the value of the . Tithes. " Should the Commissioners fail in making a new applot. - meat of the Commission on the lands within the parish, tic.' cording to the 34th s ec ti on . t h e 40 t h section has provided s' remedy, in such case, for the Incumbent, who will then require from the Collector of the Parish Cess a copy of the last ap plotment, according to which the composition will then be to be levied. " I sin not aware that it can, in the first instance, be neces." sary to enter - into more details as to the several provisions of the Bill; but I have to add that, should there be any points' on which you 14. e desirous of infotmation or explanation, I shall at all timers be happy to afford it, and to contribute, as far as lies in my power, to the due execution of the views and objects of Parliament, in the enactment of the law. " I have the honour to be, Sir, your most humble servant, " HENRY GOULBURN." Drt EA L VOLCANIC MILIPTION.—Batariai March 22.—The Government has received a de tailed account of the eruption of the volcano Ga loengoeng, in October last. In this terriLle visitation (one of the greatest that has befallen Java within the memory of man) 4,011 p.rsons perished,- and 114 campongs were destroyed ; 2,983 lice plantations were totally destroyed, and 5,361 injured. The number of coffee trees destroyed amounts to - 775;793 ;. that of those which have suffered more or less, to 3,871,74 e.— Accoiints froth 'Canton in ,Ohina, via Ea'avia, of January 12, received this morning, state that they have begmeto re-huild most of the factories destroyed by the fire in November last . ; and that this work goes on rapidly, notwithst anding the high price of materiels and of wages.
