PAIUS, MAY N.—While a few factious men were eutleavouting , to corrupt the inlatbitants of Grenoble and its villages, there were men not less Ak and culpable employed in the same way at Paris.; The Police, however, narrowly watched their movements. They, had spread among the Brothen anti I''riends a printed Proclamation. In order to give - some confidence to their project they 'died on the most absurd and extroardi ttary reports. ' 'I he Printer ache Proclamation, and those who assisted by any means in furthering the de sigp of these ill disposed persona, were arrested. The greater part have already made a confes sion ,of their machinations, and will be delivered over to the tribunals: • The persons concerned in these cqnspiractes Are most Of them men of the lower class.

The Paris Papers of Saturday received this morning, thole of Finlay being still deficient, are important. They contain accounts of the actual, breaking out of Rebellion in the Department of the here. A parson of the name of DimEit is said to be the instigator of this insurrection, which was, however, led by an 11x-LiLttquant called Gtrit.t.etr. After 3preading reports that Languedoc was in a state of revolt, and Paris re volutionized, these incendiaries, being joined by a number of disbanded Officers and soldiers, and mis guided peasants, made an attempt upon Grenoble, on the night of the 4th instant ; but were at tacked by General DONNADXEU and the troops un der his command, defeated, snd dispersed, They lost 'l6O killed, and about 500 wounded - and pri soners : the !Loyalist loss was 15 killed. It is said that many of the Rebels taken with arms in their hands were immediately executed ; and the Prevotal Court assembled to try others. Part of the National Guard of Lyons base marched to as sist the force at Grenoble. The fugitives are, however, represeuted as scat tered in the mountains, and the rush enterprize as conipletely The: Police or, Paris has been very vigilant, and mportant discoveries are reported to have been made. A Hamburgb Mail hits arrived, but we ,mus, postpone its news, WI to-morrow. We give a few extr ac t s f rom A mer i can P apers to the beginning of April, received this morning. The. Spirit of Party rims very high in that Coun try on the Election of a President. Ina sobsequent column will be found a Letter from a British Naval Officer, miring oft the Coast of Africa. It is extremely interesting, and throws great 1441 it on the subject of the horrid Slave Traffic still carrying on under false colours. Don Quiivtle, the Righter of Wrongs and Re dresser of Grievances, sallied fort as Cervantes assures us, to clear his country of ginnts, necro mancer's, and false knights. He met with as many adVentures as be could desire, for his imagination was strongly heated, and Ids valour became .as conspicuous in the overthrow of phantoms, as if his quest had really led him to encounter enchanted castles, dragons, and all the monsters of chivalric romance. On e like career it should seem the Earl of ESSEX has entered. lie goes forth in behalf of that Sleeping Beauty the British Constitution, to destroy the Beast, - and mimic the land from the thraldom of tvilitary bondage. In this tlisposi tit;ti, it is astonishing how adventures grow upon him. He cannot turn a scorner without bting :.;y a dreadful Dragon, or, as it is Other. . There is an insidious and mischievous paragraph in the chief Opposition Paper of this day,. which we contradict front the best information. The paragraph states, that " of the most, useful and ingtniolts mechanics and manufacturers" of France, &c. are actually at this time waiting to leam 'whether .the Alien Act is to be re vived, to determine whether they shall retire to this kingdom with their skill and capital, or wile= titer they shall bedri yen to seek security► in Ame rica from persecution. The Alien Act simply requires that foreigners should enter their names uti landing in this count ry,and then, if they - condnct (144w:elves properly, they may avail tliemseli•es of all, their useful and ingenions":talents. is this measure of national safety an oppi * esion? Bnt we beg to ask the Editor, as the Condoctor of a Br' , tish Journal, if there is a -want of nieful and , ingenious Mechanics and Maniifacturers in this Country, and if.not lAty . are they to be over .whehned by_a. race of Foreigners trot a whit more able than themselves, who, front the ►ery eircivit- ! stance of wishing to \ leave their out► Coimtry,- may, many ()Wien', at least, be objects of teason able suspicion • !' • . . . Previous to the visit from the Corporation .of London, whose A'ddreisei are give» in another part of our Paper, the'PeptitatiOnS front the Lords and the Coinmons attended mt. Catnelford.house with their respective Addresses. The following Answer was given to the Lords : . , We are much Orating(' by the proof of attention and •re— gard which we have received upon this occasion from the House of Lords, and we return. thew mail thanks for their congratulations." To the Address of the Commons the Princess CUARLOTTE " We receive with great satisfaction this proof of the at-. tentiotx and regard of the House of Commons, and rvturit thetn than); thanks for their congratolationi," The Answer ot the Prince Leorott, of SAXe c cznoßG t o the House of Cuoutton"was as fol lows " Gentlemen,-.4 rejoice at the share thi House .of. Com mons take in my happiness, and our sensible of their atten tion in making these congratulations. I am very much ohligesi to them far their good wishes, llOti thank them for the assurances of their fritinilship, which Ibball always try to s 9.deserve." The Princess and Prince, as ••soon as the cere mony of the Addresses was over, took an airing in an open carriage: they were received with t i c 7 clamations,.and paid in turn the proper aeknow. ledgthent . to the friendly greetings of the mul titude. BARRINGTON POPE BLAC/IFORD. EsQ, M.P. and one of the Lords Commissioners of the Adruiralty , died this morning at his house in Curzon street, May Fair. This Gentleman the pritne'of life, and bighly, respected fox talents and private virtues, as well n 3 for a zealous discharge of his public duty. He was married' to the Danghtcr of the late, and . Sister of the present DulteHof G GLAPTON. Among the strangers in London (says the Jour. nal des Debuts) the French Generals SaaAsTtAGt and Ft . IHAUT are remarked. It is observed, that the lamer visits only the Ministerial party, and the latter those belonging to the Opposition. Letters from France mention, that the price of corn i 3 rapidly falling in that country, in come (pence of the immense itnportations which h ad taken Place of late, both from Engl,thil antlfrom Italy. Toulon, IVlars.eilles, and other ports in the South of France, were crowded with vessels laden with grain from the upper part of the Mediterra. nem'. Many of the British vessel'', it is said, would rnme to so had a market, that they would deem it most advantageous to return to t . igland without breaking hulk. The whole of the Veteran Battalions are to be, disembodied on the 2.1t4. DUEL Prt EvENTED.—This morning, between six and seven o'clock, two Gentlemen, each accom panied hy it friend, were observed to have met in the.Regepiey Park-, with the intention of fighting a duel, but were.. prevented (on their seconds at tempting to measure the ground), by the inter ference of three Police Officers, who bad been waiting their arrival for sometime. They were taken into custody, it is stipposed, forthe purpose of being bound over to keep the peace. LIBEL.—On the II th of May, the Court of King's Bench, Dublin, passed sentence upon Jr.N M‘DoNtgEL,registered Proprietor of the Dublin Chronicle, for the libel of which he had been found G u ilty ; which was six months' imprisonment in' Newgate, and to pay a fine to the King of One Hundred Pounds. Late on saturday evening, John Kirby, a pub licrin ut Blackwaii, and John Brown, a watermart, two notorious charinterS;s were committed from Lambeth-street ()ince, on suspicion of being con-; cer ned itt the Thames robbery-, They were ap prehended a little below Blackwall;aml a y iaot i ty Or dollars found upon each.

Other people go quietly about their bus;bess Mid meet with no obstructions ; but yourßnight lirrauts of the Opposition ! the Military seem to have a sort of mortal antipathy to them, and they never see each other but they quarrel. Parliament, by its votes last night, seems . tired of these absurdities. The second part of Don Quixotte slid not succeed so well as the Rat. The Report of the Alien Bill is fixed far Thurs day, when another Debate is expected upon the principle of it. SLAVE TILIMI, (PRIVATE LETTER.) " boart(the Siyanisik : Slave Schooner Riuna, to H. M.
