' FRENCH PAPERS, ERSCBIVBII LAST 111011T4 'PARIS, AUG. 5.--.Atuong the laws which are to be submitted to the two Chambers on their meet ing, there is one of .great importance, %%hick has been prepared by the. Government. It tends to ftx the whole legislation on the subject of divorce. An Order of the Day of the National Guard of Paris prohibits acclamations on the part of the troops when under arms. It is equally'applicable to the National Guards of the Kingdom. By a Royal Ordinance of 31st August, his Ma jesty was pleased to confer letters of Nobility on Bachelier de Monchaux, fot werly a Royal Mtn (pacer, in recotnpense of his goo(' and loyal ser vices.

NAPLES, AUG. 18.—On the Bth instant a royal ordinance was published, prohibiting under severe penalties of punishment, fine, and imprisonment, all secret associations, including of course masonic institutions. The extrordinftry nsisbion of Mr. Piukncy, the American Plenipotentiary, occupies much public attention here. The following is a brief history of the confiscation of the American vessels by Murat, and fur which compensation is now claimed : The American schooner Rait, Captain Thom son, of Baltimore, entered the port of Naples with coffee, in 1809. It was sequestrated, but soon al-, ter released on the representations of the Ameris can Consul, Mr. F. Degen. The Marquis De Gallo, Minister for Foreign Afrairs, -, on this wee:, sion wrote the following letter to Mr. Degen " Naples, Aly 9, !goo. " SlR,—The King having taken into cousidcration your note of the 18th of May, relative to the Anterican schooner Ihilt, Captain Thomson, which sailed from Unwire for Naples with a cargo of coffee, and provided with the nrcegsitel papers in due form, has decided that the !odd vessel shall be restored to Captain Thomson, who may make tree use of the merchandise and property it contains At the same time his Majesty has decided 43 4 general measure, that' all American vessels arriving in this kingdom, directly loaded and destined fur its ports, shall be freely admiti,l therein, provided they arc furnished with the necessary certificates of origin, and veiling papers, and provided they are net in contravent km of the Royal Decrees of the 20th December, 10108 . , and 9th January, Wu, retails, to English commerce and that of neutral powers, which deerecs must be maintained in full farce. (Signed) " The Marquis DE OALLO." This letter Was sent to America ; profusely (Hs tr:buted there ; and was the cause that, in .1810 and 1811, many American vessels with rich car - g oes successively entered the port of Naples. They were obliged to miload at the expence of the con signees, and deposit their merchandise in thepublic warehouses, under pretence that they would not be received in quarantine without this formality. The c ustoms kept one key, and gave the other to the consignees. ‘Vhen the number of American vends had increased to 30, the consignees had their keys taken from them under pretence of an order from Bnonaparte at Paris, and the mer chandise was sold by auction. The Minister of Finance caused even the vessels to be sold, with the exception of some which were kept to be equipped for the service of Montt. 7,m Rait, for instance, still forms part at this moment of the fleet of Ferdinand IV. The sum produced by these sales amounted to between four and five millions of Naples ducats, and was applied chiefly to the abortive expedition against Sicily.—The con signees had even difficulty iu recovering pay ment for their expellees and d:sborsements.— The ship Hercules, Capt. West, was the only one which had the good fortune to be released: it was dispatched to Civita Vecchia, to take on board Lucien Iltionaparte' anal his family, and convey theta to America ; hut, as is well known, ha was taken onhis route by the English., and Conducted to Malta, and front thence to England. It is rather remarkable that the Government of the United States never claimed indemnity,et least ostensibly, for these vessels, while Murat occu pied the throne of Naples.

The books for lubscriptiotts to . the National Bank closed in all parts of the' Union on the 23t1 of July. There had not been sufficient time to ascertain the amount of the subscriptions ; but the Notional Intelligencer ventures an opinion that they Will considerably exceed 2e- mittions;• the sum authorized by the act, in which case the largest subscriptions were to be reduced. Another paper, however, estimates the amount subscribed at twenty millions, nicking a deficiency of 8 imillious. CoMplaints are made of further instances of the exercise of the right of search by • the British cruizers on Lake Etie• file cases men dotted, however, do nut seem to justify the' charges of insolence and arrogance brought against the British officers. A Mil() of the name of .sh a d. rack Penn Jar has made an angry affidavit about his vessel having been hu.irtled from the Tectimyeh, and his having heelr asked" iuu peremptory style," what was his cargo, and where he bm w d There are not a few of all coontries - who feel equally thssatisfied with this Shadrach Penn Jar, that they catinot do joist what they lil;e without beingrespon sible to any one for their conduct. The Master of tie Firehatul United States schooner sent to St. Domingo to procure the release of Mr. Daplessis, an American citizen, confined by order of .Chris tophe, had succeeded in his mission.

The Indians on the western batiks of the Misstisippi express great dissatisfaction at the encroachments made on their hunting territories by the white Settlers iii that quarter, and a t th e extensive ha -cock made among the buffaloes by the Atherican htinters.. There was an embargo in the ports of Cuba from the 21st to the 28th of June, on which latter day six armed nicreltuntment sailed froin Jago de Cuba for AfriCa aid Spain. The abject. of the embargo was to prevent information of their intended departure from reaching the nu merous Carthagenian privateers those .seas, which, by uniting their force, might have inter cepted the merchantmen.
