The file of the Vosttin Gazette gives vutiouts and contradictory accounts of an attack on lb* Altle. i:can schooner Firebrand by a Spanish squadron. One report was, that the vessel had been captur ed and mile a prize of; another, that the schooner escaped after anection ; and, lastly, it was ` stated, that the ship had beaten off the enemy. The Patriot Morning Advertiser of Boston, put to press after all the statements haul been published, ventures to commollicate the following particulars on the subject as those on which the public may most confidently rely : " Speaking of the above transaction the New Orlean s papers say.- 4 It is an saitrpge which leaves nu alternative bet wevis immediate and toople rtirwes. or disgrace. • 4 " It lets ennouticed some time since that a small squadron was fitting tint at llivannah, to. go against the Curthageolan privateers crising * off that port and in the:Gulf.

PARIS, Nov. 7.—The Ministerial party arc ex semely. dissatisfied with the Ki►►g's Speech : they sad announced so boldly that the Speech would prove that all the measures to 'influence the elec tions had been taken by the positive orders of his Majesty ; they are quite disappointed at seeing that the King does not: comprimise his personal authority, nor take any positive engagethent. The Royalists, on the whfile, are pleased with the Speech the last paragraph alone meets with some animadversion from them, not so much frton what it says ) as on account Of the manner in which it m ay be interpreted. The revolutionary system persevered in by the Ministry ►s the only cans° of tl►rse criticisms. The set who are I lie most angry with the Bpecch are the monied men of Paris ; mitt bnt of ten Revolutionists, and • ninety-nine nut of a hundred without religion. 'they regret that in a Speech known to be writ e 14: the King hinutelf lie has not pledged to support The th 6 asores of the. present Mi nistry ; bat 'they are quite indignant at the idea of any stfecoor being afforded to the unfortunate Fretich,Clergy ; and their complaints about ing witis.the l'opc, and the pre-eminence of tile RomanCstbolio.religion, arc quite ludicrous, from their Childishness and violence. . Among the Many facts which the public learn eery day horn the I)cputies who arrive, of the extraordinary measures taitee to influenectlie dee- dont, there pie •same which seem to prove the incapacity of Miiiistcra as well as their contempt of aTheonstitutinoal principles.

Segnier, a Peer and President of the Cour Royale, on the opening of his' Court yesterday, made a speech, in which, among other subjects, he spoke warmly on the necessity of submitting the police to the judiciary, authorities.
