PARIS PAPERS. tMoniteur of Friday, 23d April. ) NON-OFFICIAL P %RT. MODENA, MARCH 25.—(Extracted from the piario di Roma, of the 7th April).—" Francis iV., by the Grace of God, Duke of Modena, *c. The profound knowledge which we have acquired of the origin, the ramifications, and the tendency of the plots contrived by the sects which infested our States, and so many others, have perfectly convinced us " I. That all these sects are but emanations of the previ ously existing sect of the Freemasons, which, judging that t ' she., world was sufficiently imbued with the Anti-Christiao and Anti-Social poison which it had - so long been instilling into people's minds,' thought that the. arrant was come when it . . ;night at length accomplish its. grand project of. overthrowing r. e all ecclesiastical ~and secular authority, and for this purpose ei.esolved " to "give 'them various niMes, signs, and emblems dif_ .. r i,ferent from those of the affiliated Sects depending on it, which it, 3.,:destitedtb a degree of activity that might endanger its secret; thaiir one of them failing in its enteepriee, should call down e the severity of the laws and the indignation -of honeet men, -it might be struck alone without affecting the principal:erect, concealed in the most profound darkness, - whereimpos' ture and crime always take refuge. " 2. Thht, in fact., in these latter times, the ramifications of this „Sect—the . Carbonari, the. ildelphi, the Sublime Perfect Waiters, the Eke:, 4e. having bee:l . -reached by the Sword of Justice, die Mother Sect of the Treemasonsimmediately broke stlf all connection with those Societies, and enjoined its affiiliatd Societies openly to disiPprove them in order to Conceal from 'the world that they belonged to it, and that their tendency and their actions were but the development of itsprojecee. " 3. That the Mother Sect however still pursues its plans, and rencealing them under the cover of laudable intentions, seereeAy makes proselytes to obtain its wicket' endS, and it -being- OUT duty to preserve car well-befoved - subjects from such . snares, :we have resolvid that the extracts of-the instructions and eittutee or the Sublime Perfect ;Wasters lately discovered • in Our States shall be printed and pulllished, with a supple ment, containing what has been lately published at Milan, on . the same subject, by which oar well-beloved subjects will -learn - enreellgreige important to be known:— : . • • " VTI - ott all these sects are intimately connected, hve one • -origin, -and a common centre which directs then:, namely, the .`reemaeone ; that they have been anathematized by Popes, Clement XII. in Eminenti, 28th April, 1738; Benedict XIV": Proridn3. 18th May, 17.51 ; and latterly, in the Constitution - of Pius VII. lEectesiania Jens Chrlyto. ." 2. "That the statutes of this sect bear so evidently the stamp -of seduction and perfidy, that its infernal views require noother -proof ; - the bare reading -of- them -being suificient"-to inspire horror :•to chew that the unfortunate young men who are eirawninto their snares, having first had their vanity flattered, are plunged afterwards into remorse, or seeing themselves bur ried to- en object which they cannot see, but which their con - ecience . warns them cannot be innocent, because it is carefully involved in darkness ; -yet; b oun d by frightful oaths and-me naces,;they'eannot throw of the chain of a cruel servitude which renders them absolutely dependent on masters whom they do not know. " S. That all Secret Societies of' the samelind are prohibited by our rescript of 20th September, 1320." 11. R. 11. in conclusion, hopes that his well beloved subjects will see in these measures a yroof of his soliditude for their welfare,- which is the sole object of his-care.

It seems that Colonel Stanhope has not found it so easy to make him self master of the castle of Lepanto as he ex vocte'd ; he is therefore gone to Salm, in his way to Tripolitzi, where he intends to organize a regular series of military posts in the interior of the Peninsula. A very tragical event has happened at Misso longhi. The English Philhellenians, who had sarrived there, had a number of skilful artisans with them, and Maurocordato wished to-employ them in making them muskets of diff-rent kinds in a building which had been prepared for an arsenal. This was actually done, and a guard established to prevent the entrance of idle people. Two Suliots were displeased at this, and began a quarrel with the guard ; the officer, who was a German, interposed ; one of the Suliots firedat him with a pistol, and killed him on the spot.

I.—A gold mine has been happily aiscover •ed in our island, of which, it is true little advantage can be taken at present amidst- the bustle of military arnta.ment. We, -however, continue to enjoy undisturbed tranquillity and sea t _ rity. Out fate depends err ourselves, that is, on 10 or 12,000 men well-armed and well-distiplined, who arc ready to die for the liberty of their country. Batteries are erected wherever there is any occasion for them, and wherever the enemy m ay land the main force can be immediately collected. The plan for the' defence of the island, laid down by able officers, is good, and in the exe,:ution of it the necessity of conquering or perishing .will 'supply our want of experience. We have 'had full time to fortify the island by art, where it is naturally too much expo;:ed to attack. Samos is, in miniature, like the Tdorea, with its mountains and defiles, and the fruitful valleys between. A Mountain, which commands= tl!e sea, is accessible - Only on one-side, and this place is more easy to defend than Thermrspylte. On the summit of this mountain there is a con vent dedicated to the Virgin, to which the women, children, and aged, will be brought, if the Turks should land. • ,FnAirnroaT, APRIL 16.—Bfa decree of his Royal High ness the Elector of Hesse, of the 10th of this month, the Neckar .Gazette is prohibited in his dominions.

LETTER from Mr. HIBBERT, Agent in London for Ja maica, to the COMMITTEE of CORRESPONDENCE. " I liad lately an interview with Lord Bathurst, in the course of which it was my endeavour to impress upon his Lord ship my conviction of the danger and impropriety of the con tinued efforts making-all over the country by the advocates for the emancipation of the negroes, pressing forward petitions for expediting that object, and more especially in districts where the question cannot be understood—such proceedings seemed to me to merit, on the part of his Majesty's Ministers, some thing more marked than disregard ; and I respectfully sug gested that they ought to be met in the House of Commons by a decisive declaration that, if the British public should persist in demands, by which the lawful property of the Colonists must be injured, compensation must in the first instance be not only pledged, but provided. Such a declaration was, indeed, beiome necessary, since, it would not be difficult for me, to prove to his Lordship that eases for compensation, upon the clearest principles of equity, had already occurred, and that our properties altogether had becomeof little or no avail, whether for purposes of sale or transfer. " His Lordship said he could not undertake to say now in what manner these new petitions might be met in Parliament, - or what might be the language of Ministers regarding them, but, in his own opinion, they would not be considered as worthy of much regard. His Lordship did not seem willing to enter upon. the discussion of a provision for compensation, nor was this perhaps the fittest time for my pressing that subject. " P.S.--I last night received a letter from Mr. Horton, writ ten by direction of Lord Bathurst, a copy of which, together with a copy of what I have just written to his I.ordship in reply, I now transmit to you, and I have not any observation at this moment to.malte to you on the subject, excepting , such as you will : gather frOm my -letter to his - Lordship : 'I ou may rest assured, that in the couzst of any communications -with his Lordship, the interests of Jamaica shall not suffer by want of zeal and exertiOn on my part, be the mode of that conanmui, cation. what it may." The consequence of publishing in the Papers of this Island the confidential personal c ommunications betwt en Lod Path urst and lie. flibbert has be e n, that .his' Lordship has decFned all personal interviews with him, as will be seen by the following letters above alluded. to : COPY of .a lirT TER from R. WfilitoT llonTog, Esq., to GEO. 11 1.1311 E tT, Esq., dated Downing -street, Jan. 9, 1824. Si am directed by Lord Bathurst to inform you, that, as the Committee of Correspondence in Jamaica have thought pro per to publish a report of the. communications which took place in the personal interviews which he had with yi:u, his Lordship desires that, in future,. his communications with .you may be confined to written documents, as records of verbal conversa tions are naturally liable to incorrectness. 1 am also directed to inform you, that in making this com munication, his Lordship does 'not give any ( - pinion of the accuracy or inaccuracy of the report of his conversation with you in question, which, in point of fact, he has never seen. • . his Lordship regrets that,lunder these circumstances, the in. tercourse which has -hitherto subsisted between his Lordship, and yourself, as Agent for the island of Jamaica, must cease to be so confidential as the interests of that island seemed hitherto to require. I have the honour to remain, your obedient hunible Servant, (Signed) R. WIL3IOT HORTON. COPY of Mr. GEORGE flinitEnT's LETTER, in reply to the Right Hon. the Earl BAT fluitsT, dated Miter -court, Jan. 10, 11324. ZiY Loan,--I received last night the letter of Mr. Horton, dated the 9th instant, written by diretions from your Lordship, which informs me, " that as the Committee of CorrespndenCe ia.Jamaica have thought proper to publish a report of the com munications which took place in the personal iutervEws which your Lordship's desire that, in future, such commu&cations May be confined to written documents," for reasons which your Lordship go2s on to state. I shall, by the mail of this day, transmit a copy of Mr. Hor ton's letter to the Committee of Correspondence ; and your Lordship will, I trust, receive through me such explanations as they may offer on the subject. _ Meantime I venture to assure your Lordship that the publi cation of any part of the letters of their Agent, which relate to personal conferences with your Lordship, or any of his Majesty's Alinisters, has in no instance been authorized, much less di rected, by the Committee of Correspondence; although it has recently once or twice happened by means of the access which each individual of the Committee must have to the letters of the Agent, whether the assembly be or be not sitting. Your Lordship's commands, that in future your coutmunica tions with me may be confined to written documents only, I receive with regret, not only from the loss I must tl - ereby r of the facilities which your Lordship has ofteo so kindly afforded me for the discharge of my important duties, but from the additional trouble which 1 foresee I must be compelled to give your Lordship, in the course of performing those indispen sable duties in future. These considerations, however, are merely personal ; and as to what regard the interests of Jamaica, a colony in all respects so instrumental to the wellfare of Great Britain, I do not in.. dulge an apprehenion that they will be permitted. to suffer through the want of any necessary or useful means of commu nication betwixt his Majesty's Secretary of State for . the Co.. lonia! Department and the agent for that island. • I have the honour to be, very respectfully, my Lord, your Lordship's obliged and faithful servant, (Signed) GEORGE II I BBER T. LETTER from MR. 11 US K ISSO N to Mn.G LA DS TO NE. (COPY.) " Eastliani, Nov. 23, 1823. " Ma near Stit—l now return you the letters from your principal attorney at Demerara, which you have been so kind as to send for my perusal and information. lam very sorry that the forebodings of those who deprecated in vain the agita tion of the Slave question by the House of Commons, have been so soon realized ; and that this alarming insurrection in Deme rara, and not any of the improvements which were anticipated by the promoters of that discussion, is the first practical issue of it. lam sure I need not tell you (though I. believe we have not the credit of it with many of the West Indians) that the Government did every thing in its power to prevent Buxton's motion altogether, and that 11Ir. Canning in particu, lar exerted all his personal influence with Mr. Wilberforce and others for that purpose. I perfectly agree with you, that in a :rnter of this portentous difficulty, it is only by gradual amelio ration—by moral and religious improvement—by humanity and kindness—by- imperceptibly creating better domestic habits and feelings among the slaves—by countenancing and ' encouraging are that can have that tendency in the conduct of the 'owners and white people—by repressing with the strong arm of the.law, and stigmatising with the moral power of oppro brium and disgrace, wnatever leads to an opposite result—that we have a chance of ultimately and even then remotely, provid ing for the termination of so great an evil, moral and political, as the existence of a large population in a state of chattel possession and personal slavery. In principle, this is the end which every good ,man ought to wish for, perhaps to look to, but it is au end, which, so far from publishing or proelahning, at the out set, he ought almost to conceal even front himself. It is the fault, and a heavy one it is, of Wilberforce and his associates, that by agitating the question, and proclaiming their object, they have rendered the application of the means hoth hazardous and more difficult, instead of feeling that every step towards their own ultimate object was in itself so cinch of real and substantial improvement, that it ought to have been enough to have satisfied their feelings for the present, whilstit would leave them. this assurance for the future, that, in doing an immediate good, they had made a safe step in advance towards the attainment of their kind wishes. I hope, rather than expect, that what has. happened at Demerara, may teach this party more discretion, and that we shall not witness a repetition of those inconsiderate petitions and provocations to. debate the question of emancipation, which formed a part of their tactics in the last session. On the other hand, I trust that, whilst the Government provides adequate means of increasing the internal security of the Colonies, they will not, from temper, or mis taken confidence that the danger is at an end, lose sight of those measures of emprovement which are within their power. Among those measures must be a greater encouragement and provision for Ministers of the Established Church, either of England or of Scotland. I think the example of Smith, of whom it is difficult to presume lie was altogether inno ' cent of the late conspiracy, proves .that the Colonies and the Government must look for the religious instruction of .the Negroes to men, whose situation and tenure will afford better security that they will not overstep the views and inten tions of their employers, than car. be found in the voluntary zeal, even if always honest and sincere, of the Missionaries, for the interests of religion. lam sorry that the vicinity of Smith to your estate, and his connection with some of your slaves, has involved you in some loss of property; but, looking to the immense stake you have in this colony, you may console your self, if the result of this formidable conspiracy should be, that its premature explosion affords the chance of a bettor insurance against the repetition of a similar danger. • • " I remain, &c. fcc. &c. • (Signed) " W. EILISZISSON. " Jahn Gladstone, Esq., Liverpool." TRIAL AND EXECUTION OF REBEL NEGROES IN JAMAICA. KINGSTON', FEn."l4. Extract of a letter from Buff Bay, dated the 10th instant : Henry _Oliver was executed pursuant to the second warpgit on Wednesday last; he died without making any confession, but earnestly implored forgiveness from his Maker and Jesus.— George was executed on Friday ; he also refused to make any confession, and on the platform he held up his head, and de sired all to look on his countenance, and say, whether he ap peared to be a bad Negro. Of the four. condemned to death by the last Slave Conn, the Sentence of three has been commuted to transportation. Samedi and George Taylor, who were sen tenced by the same Court to transportation, have been pardAed by his Grace the Governor. Accounts from Demerara, dated the 16th of January, state the arrival:of =the 27th,. - or Enniskillen regiment, about 500 strong. Martial 'law was still continued, the red flag was flying, and the militia were kept under arms. The negroes found guilty of being concerned in the rebellion were sentenced to different punisliments=from one thousand to two hundred lashes, wnich were all inflicted. Qobino and Sammy, who re ceived one thousand lashes each, were further sentenced to be worked in chains—the former for life, the latter for seven years. EXPRESS FRO3I PARIS. We received this forenoon the Etoile of yes, terday, from which we extract the following articles [From the Moils of Sunday the 25th April.] The King of Spain has sent to General Don nadieu as a mark of his esteem, the Cordon of the Royal Order of Charles Lieutenant-General Guillemenot, who is go ing to embark at Toulon for Constantinople, svill take with him three Aids-de-Camp ; also a beautiful choice of Sevres rases for the Grand Seignor. Several Journals have spoken of an interview between the Emperors Alexander, Austria, and the King of Prussia at Prague. This interview will be concerning the affairs of the East, and the spirit of which will be opposite to that of other Cabinets. Our correspondence informs us that there is not the least fear of the Sovereigns being divided, as they all agree in perfect harmony, at the pre sent moment, for a peace, and reconciliation in the East. CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES. SITTINGS OF THE 24TH APRIL. The discussion which was to occupy this Sitting drew a great number of the curious : the whole of the Public Tribune was filled before twelve o'clock ; that of the Peers was occupied by more than forty Members of that Chamber. Lally Tolehda l arrived a few minutes after the opening of the . Sitting, and could scarce obtain a seat. • After the reports, they occupied themselves with the discus sion of the Law on the Rentes. M. de Labourdonnay inscribed against the project, which occupied a great part of the Sitting ; the Minister of Finance was at the tribune.—The Sitting not finished. M. de Lastours is named President of the Commission cf the Bridges, and Bourienne as Secretary. In a preceding column we have given extracts from the Foreign Journals. The intelligence from Constantinople is rather unfavourable for the Greeks ; but fortunately very little reliance can be placed on the accuracy of news from that quarter, particularly when it reaches us through such a channel as the Austrian Observer, a Paper that has uniformly been distinguished for its in veterate hostility to the Greeks, and its base subserviency to their barbarous oppressors.— The Duke of MODENA has issued a fulminating Decree against Secret Societies, the origin of all of which he ascribes to the " Mother Sect, Free masonry." Whatever may be the political views of some of the Secret Societies which have given so much uneasiness to the Continental Sovereigns, it is a calumny on Freemasonry to assert that its spirit is otherwise characterised than by benevo lence, or its conduct and proceedings governed by any other than the principles of good order, and of due respect and submission to all re gularly and legally constituted authorities —lt is a curious circumstance, that in the very Decree in which the Duke of MODENA anathematizes Freemasonry, he states that the Masonic Body, immediately on the other Secret Societies becom ing obnoxious to the laws, broke off all connec tion with those Socities, and en i joined its different Lodges openly to disapprove of them ! This act,/ ought to have been received as a convincing proof of the pacific views of the Freemasons ; and it was certainly calculated to throw more discredit on the other Societies than the angry Decrees of jealous and offended despOtic Governments, and yet this very manifestation of its sincere obe dience to the laws is converted by the Duke of MODENA into a fresh ground of charge against the Masonic Institution. CITY, Twelve o'Clock.—Consols opened this morning at 961 afterwards got up to OH, with little or no business doing up to this hour.

'1 he Court was quiet; and since the cap ture of Porto Cavello, merchants feel themselves more 'secure in. their persons and property. General Rodriguez Torro tilled the office of Intendant of Yenezeula. General Soublette was in Cnraccas, and continued - to have the direction of the war in the department of Zulia. General Paez was in the Apune, and was not expected back till next May. FROM JAMAICA.—We have received by the schooner Allen. Kingston Papers to the Ilth inst. ; very violent gales have been experienced in the Island, attended with heavy rain, which it was expected would injure the Island crops. Our present Paper contains a Correspondence between the Colonial Office and Mr. GEoROt • . HIBBERT, the Agent for the Island of Jamaica, from whiCh it appears that Lord BATHURST ha; thought it necessary to discontinue admitting r. HIBBERT to personal conferences on tlhe affairs of the Island, in consequence of Mr. HIBBERT'S Con fidential reports of the Conversations having been imprudently and surreptitiously published in the • Jamaica Papers. Subjoined to these documents is a letter from Mr. HUSKISSON to .Mr. GLAD 'STONE, on the state of the West India Colonies, , and expressive of the sentiments and feelings of, the Right Honourable Gentleman and his Col leagues on the question of Negro Emancipation. This letter has evidently been published, like the minutes transmitted to Jamaica by Mr. IlinaE7T, in breach of confidence, or in' consequence of st copy of it having been, by some nouns or other, improperly obtained ; and it cannot but be pain fttl. to Mr. BusnissoN that the private and confidential expression alas sentiments, written in a manner in which he could never have intended them to reach the public eye, has thus been communicated to the Public.— Mr. WILBERFORCE and his friends will also, of course, feel somewhat sore at the uncere monious though just and necessary terms of cen-.. sure in which Mr. Ifusx.rssoN speaks of theirl rash and intemperate proceedings. But though: . we reprobate the unfair means which must have been resorted to in order to lay Mr. HusKissoN's letter before the Public, we cannot but .rejoice' at the beneficial consequences which m ust flow from its .publication ; for at the Sarue, time that the violent abolitionists stand rebUked ; for their ill-judged proceedings, Ministers then selves are so clearly proved to be sincerely revs of protecting the interests of the. Colonists from all unnecessary hazard or premature injury, that the best possible effects must be prodnced7 • respects -both the white. and the k t h i e n bl t a h c e k i p sl o a p n u d l s L asion r .
