'The Paris Papers of Wednesday and the Eloi le dated Thursday arrived last night, and in ano ther column will be found extracts from them. '1 he Journal de Toulouse, in its Spanish corre spondence, confirms the news of the evacuation of Madrid by the French troops on the Ist instant, sad adds some details which are little known, siiiriihich are deserving of notice. We stated some few days ago, that since the occupation of Spain by France almost the whole trade of that Country had passed into the hands of French mer chants ; and it would seem by the following ex tract, that the collection of the customs, and other dues in Cadiz, Barcelona,and the other ports of Spain which are still to be garrisoned by the French troops, are now to be placed under the direction of the French, thus affording them additional facilities of monopolizing the entire commerce of that country. (From the Courier Francais.) PARIS, DEC. 7. l'he Spanish Correspondence of the Journal de Toulouse, to confirming the news of the evacuation of the French troops an the Ist December, adds some details which are very little 4 2 1 vn, but which deserve to be recorded. It seems , say s this "Per, that all financial matters between the two Governments a re satisfactorily arranged, and that France, in order to reini bttrae herself for the enormous expellees of the last war, will 1 " 7 the customs and other dues at Cadiz, Barcelona, and other P l aces garrisoned by the French. This has been decided on. We have received Frankfort Papers to the 4th inst., from which the following are extracts. An article from St. Petersburgh which communi cates the intention to enlarge the Port of Odessa, hi order to give greater accommodation to its increasing commerce, is proof of the laudable a nxiety of the Russian Cabinet, to advance by eery means the trade of the Crimea with the A rchipelago and the Mediterranean. By the Berlin article it seems that the king of PRUSSIA ; equally att en ti ve t o th e i n t eres ts o f com merce, ° r Ibs MAJESTY has recently passed two edicts, ° lle modifying the tariff of duties, and the other "Oferring certain privileges on the port of Stet t,ill) in order to restore it to its former commercial n) porton ce. PETERSBURGII, N0v.16. The present st a t e o f th e port of Odessa renders i t necessary to add to its extent, and to make sc leral expensive improvements in it ; it will be le g ui site to atter the lazaretto and the dock-yard t 0 make canals, &c. In order to accomplish these Ivorks means have been considered of to increase I "eral branches of the revenue already existing, 4 " to create new ones. For example, every easel under a foreign flag which enters the port to Y to the city ho copics (half a rouble) per eat, Russian vessels to pay only the half; but all vessels, without exception, are to pay 25 copies, for the support of the light-house. The Emperor has approved of a plan laid be fore him by General Balacheff, to form an asylum for a certain number of wounded soldiers, near a monument which is to be erected on the plain Koulikoff to the Grand Duke Demitri Deuskoi. A subscription is to be opened through the whole empire for this national establishment. The Em peror has assigned '20,000 Rubles for the purpose. The General is to arrange with the Academy of St. Petersburgh respecting the plan and elevation of the Church, and the houses intended for the soldiers. BERLIN, Nor. V. A new Tariff of Duties has been published, in which there are some modifications of the old rates. The Government has issued a decree in favour of the port of Stettin. In order to restore to that city a part of the activity which it once had, and which it has partly lost by the naviga tion of the Elbe, it is resolved, Ist, Stettin is to be a free port for importations of every kind ; 2. Those who import goods ou the Oder shall enjoy a bounty or a diminution of two and a half per cent. on the duties; 3. Goods imported on the river Havel shall pay 4 groschen per cent.; 4. There shall be a Wool Fair at Stettin every year in the month of June ; 5. The Government will negociate with that of Den mark, to obtain a reduction in the Sound duties for articles which are objects of the trade of Stettin. Though the arrest of M. COUSIN, by the Prus sian Government, has been ably treated and duly reprobated in a respectable Morning Paper this day, yet we should deem ourselves deserving of the reproach of being indifferent to the wel fare of our countrymen, if we did not also enter our Protest against such an invasion of the rights of Nations. The Prussian State Gazelle at tempts to justify this violation of national rights, alledging that, as M. COUSINS' offence involved a general attack on all the institutions of Germany, he was properly transferred by the Saxon to the Prussian Government.— This is not even a specious justification, but a miserable sophistry. Even admitting that M. CouslN had been guilty of the offences charged against him, the trial to prove his guilt or innocence ought surely to have taken place in the particular State where the imputed crime was committed, and where consequently the pri soner might have procured evidence in refutation of the charge, and credible witnesses in support of his character and general conduct. He cannot now enjoy the same advantages without great inconve. nience and expence, and perhaps various circum. stances may prevent those who are disposed to appear in his favour from attending in Court. But the subject is very important. in a national point of view, as every other State in Europe is interested in the question, for all travellers are liable to the same treatment, but more particularly the natives of this Country. Our free Constitution and Public Press, which enable our countrymen to express their thoughts openly, must attract the attention of all Continental States, and those persons who have taken a prominent part in po litical discussions, and perhaps have been severe in their comments upon the conduct of other Go. vernment, may be marked characters in those Go vernments, and, like M. Consist, be called upon to account under some of them for the opinions which they have vented here. Shall then the British Government be aware of the danger to which our countrymen are liable, and not enter a protest against this daring and indefensible violation of national rights, which expose them to the danger of imprisonment or death for words or actions that took place here ? It is of little importance that M. COUSIN is a foreigner, for a British subject, whose opinions, of course, must be more open and avowed, will be equally ob noxious to the same violation of national inde pendence. THE MARQUIS OF HUNTLEY.-It is understood that this noble and gallant Officer is to be ap pointed to the Government of the Cape of Good Hope. Yesterday afternoon, at two o'clock, the Ca binet Ministers assembled at the Foreign Office, Downing-street. Among them were—the Lord Chancellor, the Earls of Liverpool, Westmorland, and Bathurst, Mr. Secretary Peel, Mr. Secretary Canning, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and Viscount Melville. The Cabinet continued in deliberation till half-past five o'clock. Yesterday the Chairman of the Court of Di rectors of the East India Company had an inter view, it is said, with Mr. llERtur.s, at the Trea sury, on business of great importance. Yesterday morning, about eleven o'clock, the Duke of CLARENCE arrived at his residence in Stable Yard, St. James's, from Bushy. The Royal Duke returned to Bushy in the afternoon. Sir EDMUND NAGLE, Sir ANDREW BARNARD, and Col. THORNTON, proceeded on Thursday to Windsor, for the purpose of attending upon his MAJ-ESTY. THE THEATRES. • DRURY LA.NE:-The Comedy of The School' for Scandal was represented last night at this, Theatre. Mr. ELLISTON was to have performod the part of Charles Surface, but an apology was made for his absence, on account of severe indis position, and Mr. WALLAcx was a spirited substitute.—A Mr. DOWNE appeared, for the first time, as Sir Peter Teazle. He was received with liberal toleration for some time, but at length symptoms of censure began • to appear. lie then came forward, and plead ing indisposition, requested a suspension of judgment until he appeared on some• future occasion. The audience assented, and he pro ceeded without further annoyance. \Ve also shall comply with his request, and withhold our opinion till we see him again. Mrs. YATES gave a correct and spirited representation of Lady Teuz/e. The Play was f o ll owe d by a new Operatic Farce, entitled My Uncle Gabriel. We have not room to detail the Plot, and must then e fore only add, that it is whimsical and diverting intrinsically, but was also much indebted for Success to TERRY, BEDFORD, HORN, KNIGHT, HARLEY, Miss Povey, and Mrs. OiteEtt. The Piece was completely successful. _ COVENT GARDEN.— We lately entered our pro test against the interpolation of new songs in the Plays of our great Dramatic Bard, but it seems that Managers are determined to proceed in the same course. The delightful Comedy of As You. Like It was last night subjected to the same violation. The songs of Amiens, the Cuckoo Song, and that of Hymen, in the last scene, all com posed by ARNE, one of the best musicians which this country has produced, and of %Odell any other might be proud, were surely sufficient for a Comedy recommended by the inherent excel lencies of character, plot, incident, and dialogue.. The Managers think otherwise, and therefore the public must, of course, submit to see K SP EARE stretched on the bed of PitocausTcss, and the progress or the Fable interrupted by needless interpolations. But this is a sing-song age, and Managers must get large audiences as well as they can. The Play was admirably sup ported. Miss M. 'TEE, in addition to her musical excellence, gave a pleasant support to Rosalind, but there was more of gentle delicacy than of that robust 'vivacity which the part demands. Mr. YOUNG'S Japes may rank with some of Ins best achievements. It was marked by that shrewd though glooMy air which befits the philosophic satirist. The Seven Ages . were given with skill and humorous effect. Orlando was so well performed by Mr. C. KEMULE that, even malice could start no plausible objectioti. --Miss HENRY'S Celia was sportive awl easy ; EGERTON'S Duke was impressive ; anti CONNOR rendered the part of Oliver more than ordinarily prominent. CHArNIAN's Adam is perhaps the best that, has been seen since the days of MunttAY. The Comedy . was highly applauded by a numerous 'audi'en'Ce. .„ . TuE Alt/itY.—lt is very generally .believ ed , the Military circles, that an augmentation 'of the . Army is about to take place. THE NA"-----The riggers .q.,the dock-Yard have lately been, an d still -continue to be, employed very late hours, 'on account of an un usual press of work.- , —(p/ Nnin dli PorEaY.—Sunday last,at the Roman Catholic Chapel, Shepton Mallet, ninapers' ons made their recantation of the Protestantfai thHis Royal Highness the p CLn did the owners of the C o l um b us t h e honour c :f visiting, yesterday, their stupendous vessel at Blackwall, and examined her solidity and Con struction with all the attention of an experienced seaman, expressing, at the same time, his entire approbation of the simplicity and strength of this astonishing vessel. His Royal Highness was as sured that she would return for another cargo early in the Spring, for which purpose a steam engine for working the pumps will be fitted in her. His Royal Highness partook of a cold col lation, which was prepared in the great cabin, and seemed in good health and excellent humour with every one of the numerous spectators who were present, and who, after he had embarked in his boat, and the Royal standard lowered, greet ed his departure with three hearty British cheers. Thursday next, the 16th instant, is appointed for the consecration and opening Of TRINITY CHURCH, in the parish of Saint Mary, Newing ton. His. Grace the Archbishop of CANTERBURY will attend, at eleven o'clock, with his Officers and suite, when the ceremony will begin. This is one of the additional churches built under the late Act of Parliament, &c. situated in Suffolk street, East, near the Kent Road. The Architect was J OUN SOANE, Esq. Another church is build ing near East-lane, in this parish. The Archi tect Mr. BEDFORD. The Lords of the Treasury have been pleased to approve of the ports of Dublin, Cork, and Bel fast, for the warehousing of East India goods. The widows of artisans killed in his Majesty's Dock-yards, who have for many years received pensions frank Uovernment during their widowhood, are now permitted to en. joy them during life, although they may again marry.

Mr. CHITTY stated the case.—This was en action, brought by the plaintiff, the well-known Captain Johnson, to recover from the defen dant the sum of 250/., on a bill of exchange, payable six weeks after date, drawn by the .defendant on his brother John and accepted by him. It appeared from the testimony ad duced, that there had been various transac tions between the parties. On the part of the defence it was contended, first, that the bill in question was to have been discounted at ten per cent. interest, which was usurious ; and, secondly, that the plaintiff had no claim whatever on the defendant, as the bill now sued for had been paid by the renewal of other bill transactions.—The Loan CHIEF JUSTICE recapi tulated the whole of the evidence to the Jury, who retired for ten minutes, and on their return they found a verdict - for the defendant. BOW-STREET.—(TuIS DAY.) Two gentlemen, dressed in the height of fashion, were charged with riot in the street and assault, by two watchmen. They were ordered by Mr. MINSIIULL, the Magistrate, to find bail ; but soon after they had left the Office, one of the watchmen returned, and expressed his willingness to withdraw the charge, as the gentlemen had settled with him. The Worthy Magistrates, in terms of indignation, reprimanded the Watchman, and said, that suffering such compromises to take place was not only evading justice, but. opening a breach to encourage imposition, and, in the course of time no respectable individuals could walk through the street with safety, as the watch man would take them into custody to make money of them. The worthy Magistrate would not consent to any reward to the watchman.— Mr. George Kent, a gentleman well knovi n in the sporting world, was ordered to find bail for an assault. MERCANTILE SHIPPING.

Yesterday an Inquest was held at the Red Lion Tavern, Red Lion -street, Holborn, before I'. STIRLING, Esq., Coroner, on the body of Mrs. Susannah Kelmair, aged 40, who resided in the above street. Slater Blake deposed, that he is a waiter at the Blue Boar Inn, Holborn. Yesterday, while standing at the door, he ob served the deceased walking along the street, apparently intoxi cated, and at length she fell down. Witnces proceeded to her assistance, and on ascertaining who she was, be had her con veyed home, when medical aid was procured. Mr. William Wright, surgeon, of Grenville-etreet, Bruns. wick-square, deposed, that he had been acquainted with the deceased for the last 17 or 18 years, part of which time he had attended her professionally. She was a person of sober habits. He was called on to attend the deceased, whom he ftmnd at her house, labouring under symptoms of apoplexy. Ile rendered her every assistance, but she died shortly after. The Jury returned a verdict of " Died by the visitation of God." Mr. Wright here related to the Jury a most extraordinary instance of sudden death, the result of a lit of apoplexy, which had recently come under his immediate attention. He said, that the other evening he was called upon to :mead a gentleman, a friend of his own, who resided in Brunswick square, who, he was informed, was supposed to be dead. Witness instantly repaired to the house, and on entering the drawing-room, he found the deceased gentleman sitting in his arm chair, leaning back, with ' his hands in his breeches pockets, and had all the appearance of being in a comfortable and serene sleep. On examination, he discovered him to be quite dead from apoplexy. Ile had dined with good appetite and much cheerfulness, and after dinner he sat down with his wife to reading.
