We have Brussels dud Paris papers to the 17th, and from both select what appears Most. worthy of the public attention. SAVARY and LALLEMAND have, it seems, bent their course into Persia. The Princess of WaLas has arrived it Con stantinople from Athens on hoard an ..'nglish merchantman. The Turks are puzzl i ed to know the purport of 11. It. Ws visit. The accounts from Spain are very contradic tory, and istdeed we may offer the remark as be coming every day more generally applicable to Continental news, that so much of partial views mingle in almost every thing that issues frotn the public press, as well as in most private letters, it is extremely difficult, if not impossible, to ascer tain the true bearing of any one question, or. the truth of a single statement. A letter from France states accounts to have been received by the Spaniih Ministers, which gives them great uneasiness, that an ancient French General, followed by 40 or 50 Officers of the same nation, and by a hundred deserters, have joined from New Orleans the Independents of Mexico., by whom they have been received with great joy." The letter adds, " These officers, who have quitted France in consequence of the distraction tlo Government Or BUONAPARTN, are all brave men, well versed in the art of war. It is easy to conceive what consequences to the mother coun try may result from the accession ()Ouch Auxilia ries in those distant countries.',' The Hamburgh letters represent the state of Sweden and Norway NS far from tranquil. The Diet at Christiania (technically called the &orat ing) had been prorogued six or seven times, and was finally dissolved; but the result of its aelibe. rations is studiously kept secret. it is not even known whether the financial plan discussed in the Diet will be adopted or not. Great dis tress is experienced in Norway : the manufac turing of iron - in that emsnrry has of late greatly decreased, which hitherto was one of the prin cipal sopports of the libonring Norwegians.— The King of Switbmv, Who has been long ailing, is now seriously indisposed.

Sw'eden at the.eothL mencement of the year, and thatharthony had not until recently been restored, it seems to have been well understood that the Russian GO vernment had it in contemplation to interfere with the snccessiou.of the Swedish Crown, by no means favourably to the elainis 'of the CitOwk - PRINCE ; but further enquiry seems to have re moved the supposed grouuds of 'llse commercial situation of Sweden; like that of other nations, is by no means flourishing, not withstanding the endeavours of their Journals to demonstrate tfie contrary ; but the want of money is perhaps greater there than in any other kingdom, on which account the Swedish Marine is almost entirely neglected. During a lapse of 20 years no man of war has been built in Sweden, and only the Scheeren fleet is maintained in a to lerable condition. Sweden still continues to ne gociate for the purchase of the Danish brigs in. Norway; but the King of MN/4mm is so much in want of rash, that he is not willing to dispose of them otherwise than for ready money, and this is what Sweden finds equal difficulty in raising. .The first Sessions - of the Commission at Schles wig has• been stormy ; the Members Of the Kni i ghthood being determinett nut to listen to the propositions of the King before the basis of ti representative constitution for the duchies had. been settled. For the present the Commission has been ,dissolsed ; and when the Sessions will he resumed, no one with certainty can pronounce. In our last page we insert from the Jamaica Ga zette a charge brought against us at illiberality and prejudice towards the %Vest India Colonists. We were a good deal startled at this, having, within the last mouth, been repeatedly and ve. !leniently charged with the chine of too strongly advocating their'interest I This we fear is the re ward of impartiality.' Put the insignificant paragraph which has ex cited this feeling in the Jamaica Editor is really so weak a ground for the argument of malevolent in tentions, that even were THE Sut h6stile to the Colonial Interests, as it has been strenuously the reverse, we should, without reply, consider our st front an imputAtiou, which in any rise we repel with tht: scorn it 1110'itS. To the writer of this diatribe we venture to gives two pieces of advice-I , t, not to tight - in the datk where he i, a, apt to wound friends as foes—and, 2dly, not to throw stones till his own windows cease to he made Of glass. The angry and ill mannered personal attack on Mr. STEPHENS, which we insert front the same sheet with the assault upon THU SUN, gives the friends to the Registry Bill an advantage which we ate sorry they should possess ; but the public always think that a bad cause Which is so improperly sup. ported as the Non-Registry is in the present instance. We have differed from Mr. STEPHEN entirely upon the sall►e question, but that should never in duce us to libel the charactei of an individual, who in public and in private life so conducts himself as justly to obtain the general esteem. Yesterday morning dispatches Were received at Viscount CASTLEREAGH'S thrice from Sir STUART at Paris. Late on.Wednestlay evening Lord EXMOUTH left town for Portsmouth.

A letter tram NaPles, dated June 30, says " We feet pleasure in reporting to you the official intelligence of the plague being considered at an end ; the total niort alit y amoutits to 771 persons." Mr. Bacii;cn Am has left Paris for Switzerland, and_ if Itionour doe, not speak:falsely, he has not gone to rusticate a t one. To keep us his talent for debate, the : Hon, and Learned : Gentleman 'could not do better than take a female: canpanion, for the Sex, 'though mild at Lambs, will still keep up so tftnch of contradiction as to exercise the ; n Niolroin 'Vera:Cruz and two from tiavannah, were captured by two armed strops, bearing the flag of 'tbeibdependairt provinees of Montevideo.

Hitherto not a tingle shallop bas been armed agaltist them. 'lChe foer ships had on hoard, it is said, 400,000 dollars in Piasters, and some colonial goods. This 'event has thrown all The commercial places of Andahisia 'into 'consternation. These uphappy colonists, who hail set Sail froth the new world to fly from a country. delivered up to all the horrors 'of anarchy, are also robbed of the little they lied been able to bring with them, even at the mo ment when they had.. arrived in port. The crews of 'the ships have been set On shore. FRENCH FUNDS. 5 per Cents.. Bank Actions 1062 f. 60c. FLANDERS MAIL.

The enemy attempted in vain to hinder him reconnoitring, by a brisk fire from his bat- Series and"gun-boats, but the Dutch vessels sus tained ro damage, either to the men oz' the rig ging. No movement was oh,rreed among the Algerine vessels which were in the channel that seemed to indicate that' they would soon put to sea ; the Vice-Admiral therefore sailed again, and arrived on the 15th of June aiGibraltar, to join to his squadron the 'vessels - destined to rein force it.
