PARIS PAPERS. [l' Monitenr of Friday, Jan. 9.] The last letters from Gibraltar say, that the British G overnmen t h as f or bidd en all Spaniards, 'without exception, to enter that place, who have belonged to the revolutionary Government ; and that in consequence one of the leaders of that party, %% ho was repairing thither, could not enter. it is said also, that Lopez Banos had been pub licly insulted by officers of the garrison. 13y a royal dacision all articles of consumption for the French troops are to he exempt from duty, .only subject to the same formalities as if they had paid the duties. [From the Courier Francais.] PARIS, JAN. o. —The Emperor Alexander leas been pleased to give his noblest ribbon of Knighthood to 31. de Chateaubriand, and nothing to M. de Villele. What a check to the President of the Council of Ministers. He could not leave such a mark of disfavour without answer. The answer has not been delayed. M. de Villele received the blue ribbon from the King. In his turn M. de Chateaubriand found him self in arrears the ribbons of the North are handsome, but to French Gentleman, what is comparable to the bine ribbon ? N. de Chateaubriand could not dispense with it; he has just cbtained it, but by a true tour de Jarnac of dreadful atrocity ; he. has not obtained it singly, nor as a mark of rare and spe civ.l favour. The Duke de Doudeauville and the Duke de Daman received it at the same time. These two Gentlemen, we know, are not of such a political importance, that the fa- • veurs shed on them can be considered as the approbation and regard of a system. Among such pale associates, the blue ribbon of M. de Chateaubriand loses something of its lustre; it is not like that of M. de Villele, simple and significative.— Dtcidedly in this war of ribbons, M. de Chsteaubriand has the worst; he will undoubtedly make some great effort to regain the sv.perior position which the Emperor Alexander intended to give him. But he must take his measures well, not to find, as it happens now, a check in success itself. 31. de Villele is very malicious. ( From the Etoile of Fr:clay.) PAttrs, JAN. B.—lt is affirmed that the King, in the Council held on Wednesday last, nomi nated K nights-Commanders of his Orders, the Archduk e Francis Charles Joseph, second son of the Emperor of Austria, the Prince Royal of Prussia, Frederick William, the Grand Duke Constantine Paulowitch, brother of the Emperor of Russia, and Count Nesselrode, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Isis Majesty the Emperor Alexander. His Royal Highness the Duke d'Angoulerno has authorised numerous naval officers of all ranks to accept and wear decorations of the se veral Spanish Orders of Merit, in token of his satisfaction for the services rendered by the navy, and the active manner in which the squad ron seconded the operations of the army in the glorious campaign which has just been ended.

The first nominates the Viscount de Chateambriasul " Knight Commander of our Orders ;" the second confers the same distinction upon the Dukes de Doudeauville and de Damas ; and the third appoints the Baron de Vitrolles a Minister of State, and member of the Privy Council. The appeal of the widow Lecouffe and her son, against their conviction fur the murder of Madame Jerome, has been rejected by the Court of Cassatioa. AIADRID, PEc. 30.

NUREMBURG, JAN. 3.—lt has not yet been possible to come to a formal arrangement at Con stantinople respecting the unloading of European merchandize intended for the Russian ports in the Black Sea. The Turkishauthorities require so many formalities for those ships which are b vposed to have a right of exemption from unloading, that the Captains rather sell their cargoes than wait for whole months for leave to prosecute their voyage to the Black Sea. it is notorious that the Porte does its ut most to impede the trade of Europe with the European ports in the Euxine. Persons who pretend to be well informed assert, that the Ottoman Government has been secretly advised to follow this line of conduct by foreign agents hostile to Russia. The right of visiting all foreign vessels that arrive in Turkish ports is still exercised in the most arbitrary manner, under the pretext that it is necessary to ascertain that there are no Greek rebels, or Greek property on hoard.— Allany complaints have lately been made to the Foreign Ministers at Constantinople, who have not failed to apply, in the most energetic terms, to the Reis Effendi, but the answers have been vague and ambiguous, without any positive pro mise that justice shall be done. Mitottin,Eocc.2B.—lt is still affirmed that the decrees of the provincial Junta and the Regency, relative to the re-installation of the Royalist municipalities, will be executed till his Majesty shall have decided on the mode of making the I ePCtionS. (From the Etoile of Saturday.) MADRID, DEC, 3 1.-The Marquis of Casa frujo is still indisposed. M. lieredia has the poi - Well/lie in the interim. Don Victor Saez is still at 'Madrid, and has not gone to Toledo, as was expected. The disbanding of the Constitutional troops continues. The re-organization of the royal army proceeds with activity. General Sylveira, it is said, will succeed tl:e Count of Porto Santo. CIRCULAR OF TIIE MINISTER OF WAR. Conformably to the report of the Duke de l'lnfantado, Lieu tenant-General of the royal armies, on the mode to be followed speedily to e ff ect t h e re-organization and co mpletion of the Royal Guard, the Ki ng h as reso l ved as follows :—_ " 1. Before proceeding to a general enrolment for my army, those men shall be admitted to serve in my R oya l Guard who shall volunteer for that purpose, and who shall possess the qualifications bare below enumerated. "2. The recruit who shall volunteer to serv e in m y Royal Guard shall not be under 18, nor above 30 years of age; his stature at least five feet three inches, his constitution healthy and robust, and without any bodily defect. " 3. No one can be admitted who has been proceeded against by justice, if he is of infamous extraction, and if he has volun_ tarily served, in any quality whatever, under the pretended Constitutional system. " 4. Individuals may be admitted into my Guard, who, hav ing served in my Armies, before the establishment of the Con stitution, have continued to serve under the illegal Govern ment ; provided however, and on the express condition, that they have not borne arms against the Royalist and allied troops, that they have not taken part in any public disorder, that they have given proofs of good conduct, and that they an swer to the condition in No. 2. " 5. Soldiers now serving in my armies, including the pro vincial militia, and who wish to enter my guard, may make application according to my ordinances, and to the terms of the present resolution. " G. The Commanders, Officers, and all others who shall be applied to for information, for the admission of individuals into my Guard, and who shall omit any important circumstances, shall be responsible for the consequences of such omissions. " 7. That those who wish to enter my Guard may be able to make their application without being obliged to come to my capital, the Commandant -General of my Guard shall form corps of recruits where he shall think fit, and shall give them the necessary instructions. " 8. The individuals of my Guard shall enjoy the advan ages of the high pay, and of serving only three-fourths of the ime that I have fixed for the service of the other troops." PARIS, JAN. B.—A. horrible event took place this morning, betwaen seven and eight o'clock. M. Laurent Bernard, banker, rue Cadet; No. 14, and his mother, have been found both shot to death, and bathed in blood. Two pistols were discharged, one in the hand of the son, the traces of the priming were on his fingers; in fine, the circumstances related the report of the Doctor, Louyer Nillermay, seem to prove that this double crime had been committed by M. Laurent Ber nard himself. It is said that he had ruined himself by stock jobbing. This catastrophe passed in the chamber of the son.— (Consithitionnel.) HATCHING FISII.—The newspapers during the past week have been describing, as a matter of wonderment, the process adopted by a Mr. Barlow for hatching eggs, but in which there is in reality nothing either new or surprising, the process having been lung known and practised in the East. The fol lowing account of a mode of hatching fish will be allowed, per haps, to be a little more extraordinary :—The Chinese fisher men coliect with care, on the margin and surface of the water, all those gelatinous matters which contain the spawn of fish._ After they have found a suificient quantity, they fill with it the sell of a fresh hen-egg, which they have previously emptied, stop up the hole, and put it under a sitting fowl. At the ex piration of a certain number of days, they break the shell in water warmed by the sun. The young fish are presently hatch ed, and are kept in pure fresh water till they are large enough t , ) be thrown into the pond with the old fish. The sale of spawn tOr this purpose forms an important branch of trade in China. In this, as in some other matters, we may perhaps take some useful lessons from the Chinese. The destruction of the spawn of fish by troll-nets, threatens, in many parts, the utter ex tinction of fisheries that were f ormerly very productive_ ( Mechanics Magazine.) delivery up of the said prisoners. We do not yet know the result.—( Restaurador.) Immediately after the promulgation of the am nesty, it appears that there will be another de cree respecting ;:the fate of the officers of the Constitutional -army, - who are not classed with the authors of the revolution. They will be di vided into several series. The first will include all the officers of the Royal Guard who aban cloned their corps to enrol themselves with the revolutionary party, as some of them did on the 7th of July, 1822. The second will include the officers who became Revolutionists after the pro mulgation of the constitution, in consequence of the oath which the King was compelled to take. Finally, the last will include the officers who only followed the torrent, but who have conduct. ed themselves with moderation, order, and dis cipline. The above are the three classes which merit especial attention. It is said also, that there will be no distinction between the military who have preferred pro ceeding to France as prisoners of war, and those who remained in their cantonments, hav ing made their submission to the King; for amongst the former are many who, influenced by a false point of honour, would not take the oath of submission to his Majesty, and amongst the others there are some whose conduct does not indicate a very sincere conversion ; therefore, it is added, the conduct which they have mani fested during and since the revolution, will serve as a basis for the fate which will be assigned to them. Filially, the army is dissolved, and the military junta charged with its new organization will create one which may afford every pledgeof fidelity and attachment to our Sovereign, because care will be taken to place at its head those who have taken up arms for the King, and sacrificed themselves to the good cause. ( From the Journal des Data; of Friday. ) P.Aiu JAN. B.—We read In the American Papers that England is understood to have pro posed to them United States to join her in repelling all the attempts which the Continental Powers may think fit to undertake against the independence of the American colonies. We are not in the secrets of Cabinets, and we know not how far this news may be false or true ; but we do know that in waging war, there must be at least two belligerent parties. Now, as we perceive the Continent perfectly tranquil, and call find nobody who thinks of warlike ex ploits, the United States may have the trifling pleasure, if they desire it, of parading their fleets in triumph over seas in which they will meet with none hut friends. RUSSIA AND TURKEY. FRANKFORT, JAN.2.—Letters from Constan tinople of the Ist December say—" It is report ed in Pera, that, the Reis-Effendi has had a con ference with the Austrian Internuncio, in which the latter urgently.. demanded the evacuation of Moldavia and Wallachia, when the Ottoman Minister is stated to have declared that the Porte weuld not withdraw its troops till the Russian army stationed on the frontiers shall be removed to the interior of Russia." VIENNA, DEC. 27.—The complaints made by the Foreign Ministers at Constantinople, respect ing the negooiation of the Euxine, have been favourably decided ; but we learn that fresh dif ficulties have arisen between our Internuncio and the Turkish Ministers about the troops that are still in Moldavia and Wallachia. The Internuncio, in consequence of orders sent to him from Czernowitz and Lemberg, made a formal demand to the Porte, that conformably to its declaration, it should give positive orders for the entire retreat of all its troops from the left bank of the Danube. It was expected that the Divan would have made no difficulties on this head, especially as every thing seemed to be settled between Lord Strangford and the Reis Effendi. We could not, ther e f ore , g i ve cre di t to letters fromJassy and BuchareJlt; which announced that the Turks were to remain in the Princi palities. But we have just been undeceived in this respect by a new Note of the Reis Effendi, who has entirely eluded the demand of the In ternuncio. This Note has arrived here by an extraordinary courier, and has been transmitted without delay to St. Petersburgh. We must now wait to see what effect it will produce on:the Russian Cabinet. To these circumstances, and occording to the formal orders of the Emperor Alexander, the Russian armies, it is said, will remain in their present positions. Not a man will be detached from them till the differences s►ith the Porte shall he llually adjusted. On the other hand, the Sultan is said to have declared that the Turkish troops shall not evacuate Moldavia and Wallachia till the Russian (Southern) army shall have quitted the cantonments which it occupies on the very frontier of the Ottoman territory._._. (I the Vienn a Gazette.) 'We (the Journal de la Belgique) gave the sub stance of this article in our Journal of the 7th, but the details We now insert appear so import. ant, on account of the quarter from which they come, that we think it our duty to communicate them at length.—(Journul de la Belgique, Dec. g.) BAYONNE INTELLIGENCE. BATONS 1:, JAN. 2.—Our letters from Madrid are of the 29th ult. The Journals contain but little. The Ki ng has decided that all those °freers who have voluntarily entered the:local national teillitia are deprived of their employments. — This measure seems rigorous. It is well known that most of th e officers not in active service were forced by circumstances to enrol themselves in the battalions of the militia, because they were wanted, or because'th . ey were afr a id of b e i ng marked out as Serviles. It is still Positi ve l y af fi rme d that there has been a military movement at Lisbon, but the result is not certainly known. General Silveira is at Madrid as Charge d'.:iffaires from his Most Faithful Majesty. It is affirmed that final orders have been given to all the Bi shops and Archbishops to quit At and repair to their re spective dioceses, at which they are by mo means satisfied. If we might believe some persoui who are impatient to see a great army on foot, that of Spain ,„ Would be alre a dy orga nized and complete to th e nu mb er of uu ,000 men.

Hi s M a j esty, they say, far f rom recompensing; them for the sacrifices they have made, keeps them at a distance, and disposes of the public employments in favour of his ene m i es . The conduct of the King, according to their account, must incense the na tion against him, and end in his ruin. People still speak of the warm altercation between the King and the Infant I)on Francis ; after which the King is reported to have said, that if the French should withdraw he would go with them. Nothing is now said of the banishment of the Prince. Among the Royalists who boast of being pure, there are doubtless num hers who would be capable of forsaking the King at the moment of danger. Men are every where the same. The capital enjoys tranquillity, thank s to the numerous pa trols who traverse every quarter night and day. The 24th Regiment, which is to remain in garrison, ar rived yesterday in most terrible weather; it is not above 1,200 strong. The 39th also arrived y ester d a y ; th e 4 t h will ; come to-day.

GOSPORT ORiERVATOItY JAN. 10.--This un expected visitor is conspicuous towards the East on bright mornings, from five till half-past six o'clock ; and its motion is retrograde, or contrary to the order of the Zodiacal Signs. It has moved out of the constellation Serpentarius, and is advancing rapidly along the back of Hercules, towards the contortion in the body of the Dragon. Its mean motion through, or under the Fixed Stars, during the last fortnight was, 1 deg. 40 min. per day. This astonishing velocity, however, is not uniform, but increases as the Comet recedes from the Sun. Its present right ascension is 2-45 deg. and its declination 26 deg. 30 min. North. The tail last Sunday morning, which was remarkably clear, was nearly five degrees long, and taper at the end. Its nucleus is still defined, and no larger than a Star of the third magnitude; but the coma around it is close and very thick, and the coruscations unbroken. The Comet's distance from the Sun-is about 65 degrees, and its motion being from that luminary, it will be seen to have a long range in the Heavens ; and, therefore, he interesting to those who arc en gaged in the science of Astronomy. The Grow-IVoitm.—Mr. JOHN MunRAY, in a communication recently made to the Royal Society, on the linninous matter of the glow-worm, states sonic curious facts as the result of his own observations and experiments. Ile shows that this light is not connected with the•respiration, nor derived from the solar light; that it is not affected by cold, nor by magnetism, nor by submersion in water. Trials of submer. sion in water, in various temperatures, and in oxygen are de tailed. When a glow-worm was immersed in carbonic acid gas, it died, shining brilliantly; in hydrogen, it continued to shine, and did not seem to suffer. Mr. Murray infers, that the luminousness is independent, not only of the respiration, but of the volition and vital principle. Some of the luminous mat ter obtained in a detached state, was also subjected to various experiments, from which it appears to be a gummo-albuminous substance, mixed with muriate of soda, and sulphate ofalumine and potash, and to be composed of spherules. The light is considered to be permanent, its eclipses being caused by the in terposition of an opaque medium.—(lttethanic's Magazine.) THE ARMY. REVIEW AT BARRACKPORE. ( From the Bengal Ilurkan.) His Excellency the Commander-in-Chief reviewed the troops under the command of Major-General DALzEr.r., stationed at liarrackpore. When the review was over, the European Offi cers of the respective corps were introduced to his Excellency, and afterwards the Native Officers received the like honour, with which they seemed much gratified.

COMMODORE SIR ROBERT MENDS. Extract of a Letter from an Officer of his Majesty's ship Owen Glendower, dated Cape Coast Castle, Sept. 26, 1823. The death of our revered and lamented Commodore, Sir Robert Mends, has perhaps produced sensations more poignant than usually occur on similar occasions. His benevolent feel ings and amiable conduct had endeared him to every officer and man in the ship. It may not be generally known that this distinguished officer lost his right arm, when a Midshipman, during the American war, and the wound was of such a complicated nature, that amputation was twice performed before his life could he hoped for. He narrowly escaned death on a subsequent occasion, when, as Lieutenant of the Colossus, at the battle of L'Orient, he cou rageously applied the match to a gun which lagged fire, and he was by the explosion so dreadfully burnt as scarcely to have preserved any skin on his body. In . the action with the Niemen French frigate and the Are thusa, then commanded by our worthy friend Sir Robert, a blow struck the back of his head, which knocked him down and deprived him of his senses. The effects of the blow he felt and complained of the remainder of his life. Although he was thus dismembered and shattered, his ap pearance was noble and commanding, and his tine soul beamed from his eyes, and produced an expression never to be forgotten by those who had beheld his countenance. bong, very long, will it be before we " shall look upon his like again." To you, my friend, who knew him well,-1 need not dwell upon his vir tues and merits,— his family,—his friends,—his deplore the loss of the best of husbands and parents, the most sincere and amiable companion, and one of the finest offi cers that has graced th e age i n which we have lived. His death, produced by ardent and unremitting zeal in his duty in this malignant climate, was as affecting as his life had been interesting. An attack of cholera morbus had for the two preceding days highly incapacitated him from his usual active attention to his duty, and on his partial recovery, he was about proceeding from his cabin on deck, in conversation with his eldest son , when he was seized with an apoplectic fit, from which he never recovered. The scene is beyond my descrip tion ; but the deepest sentiments of respect and love pervade every heart, and remain with the hopeless expectation that we shall ever in this world meet with such another man.
