NOVEMBER 17,111.32- ~ % ~~ Two days' Paris Papers became due this morn ing, bat we have no arrivals of any kind from the Coutineut. What has been dooe.in Nay's Trial? I,r„ what is still more momentous, how stands the Treaty ? are therefore questions which we are imw as little competent to answer as we were yes tereay. We have all along taught the Public not exreet the Treaty so soon as others, pretend i;:g to speak from authority, said it would arrive. IN' course we cannot subscribe to there being any foundation for the feelings of disappointment which as e now experienced, as these feelings arise out of hopes that ought never to have been en tekaned, and not out of any change in the poli ticid world. We have only again to assure our ilearieTs, -that no accounts have been received •within the last two or tbror days, or this day, Nvhich can give to the rumours hi chnatation any slieport-. 11(1c:ices. from 1,, , ,rd EI•INIOVT14, on board the Boyne, off 'Marseilles, were, we understand, re- Teired this day, but we do not learn that, they r,,re of any importh n We have condensed horn the Ceylon Gazette a State Paper of con,,iderable interest, it rkvelopcs the falai) upon which The Government 91- 'Candy has been re-organized. The importance of the change which has :nen produerd in this Island cannot yet he hilly appreciated ; bur those Min are bust informed on the subject (rf our Eastern l'us- sessions have no hesitation in estimatin g ; the en tire and wiresisted dominion over Ceylon, as one .of the greatest acquisitions That has been made since the British Flag first waved on the Ganges. A very long Supplement to the Londoii Gazette was published last night, with the official dis patches relative to the late war in Ndp:l6l. As we have aireatly submitted the intelligence on this subject to the public from other sourges, we have only selected what was new from the Gazette.- 7 - The value of this war appears to us to have heen excessively under-rated ,by some, as it has been over-rated by others of our Contempoeiries. Some of them have spoken of Napaul, a large country in Ilindostan proper, as a district scarcely known! A very little enquiry might have satisfied these writers, that their peculiar want of information wis not, as they imagined, universal ignotance. Those, onthe other hand, who scent to have attach ed somewhat too much importance to theNapaulese contest were misled rather by the difficult nature of the territory and the hardy and enterprising spirit of its population, than by the extent of the former and multitude of the latter. it is, ne vertheless, in a geographical point of view, of much worth to our Indian 'Empire, - which it not onl3-consolidates on a vulnerable side, but to which it opens lICW sources of commercial wealth and prosperity. As our knowledge of these countries is increased, we shall be better able to wield their energies, and we cannot close these remarks ; without referring to a recent publication, from which we have derived tire utmost satisfaction as connected with India affairs, ." The Account of the Kingdom of Caubul," by the Hon. Mr. EL- Tql:NsToNa : we are not acquainted with a work every way more agreeable, full 'of novelty, and iatalliteut. The illooting' Chronicle, a Journal boasting it elf to he the organ of the Whigs of England, and the assentor of their doctrines, has this inornirsg the following observations upon the conduct of DIC:e of Ittcueugu, and the French Mini stry in general, with reference to tbeith proceed i agAinst Marshal Nay '• Ft ,vas reserved for them to exhibit the spectacle of a i;io lation'Of first principles of justice, in the same individual -uxercisiux the offices of Public Accuser and Judge. • Such is the Duke tie ittcnriazu, who not only accuses Ney, but calls for his punishment, before soy evidence is heard, and who is himself; as a Peer of France, to sit in ; judgment on the se elscd. No wonder that public feeling is wrought upon, or that the Government Ends the number of its opponents ang- Timit." • Now thong!! we arc not of those who look for much intelligence from this Nevisriaper—though e -calik its historical infortuatiaV.the sarttc low scale with its geogtaailical knowledge or its political sagacity, yet we did suppose that might have some .confused ideas of the annals of its own Party. 13ut we were mistaken. The *Chro nicle is as ignorant 'of the history of its Patron Whigs-as it is on other subjects otherwise it would, never have so loudly clamoured against the French Cabinet—for doing what)—precisely what the strongest Whig Ministry that ever existed in Eng land did in the feign of GEORGE the First.— We strongly advise this partizan to read a little more and to, write a little less. Should he turn to the reign we have just mentioned he will dis cover that this Whig Administration set a decided . example to the French Ministers. They impeach.. esi the Earl of OXFORD, and dragged • him to the Tower against the affidavit of the ce lebrated Doctor MEAD that such procedure wonlil endanger his life, and the declared opinion of Sir JOSEPH JEKYL, a staunch Whig and the best Lawyer of the day, that the offence did not amount to treason. They also impeached the gallant Duke of ORMOND, Lord BOLTN6BROKE, and others. But, as if to complete the parallel, these Whigs !--the friends of liberty !! passed an Act, declaring, that if any persons, to the number of twelve, unlawfully assembled, shOuld continue together one. hour, after being required to disperse by a Justice of the-Peace, or other Officer, and after hearing the Act against Riots read in public, they should be deemed guilty of felony, without benefit of Clergy! ! ! What have the despotic Ministers of Louis XVIII. done equal to this ? What is their law.against seditious cries and acts, to this law againSt the mere assenNing of the people ? Well might the historian remark, " This is a very severe Act, and one of the greatest restrictions on the liberty of the subject that passed during this century. By this, all Meetings of the People, either for the purpose of Amusement or redress, are rendered criminal, if it shall please any Magistrate to consider them as such. It is, indeed, very remarkable - , that all the severe and most restrictive laws were enacted th'it Party that are continually stunning mankind with the cry of Freedom ! !" Need we add to this Whig Precedent that the charges against Lord Oxroap were malignant and ft ivolous, and he was acquitted accordingly : while of the manifest guilt and treason of Marshal Nay, alter his own confessions, it would be mad ness to entertain a doubt. We are very sorry to learn from the provincial papers, that there has been a riot at Woolver baribpton, 00 •cv+ouo 03 to render it necessary to call in the Military to suppress it. Tile PRINCE REGENT is expected in town on the 221 instant,. and will hold a Council on the following day. Yesterday the Earls of Liveapoot., llAxmow, - lay, and BA - riiuesT, transacted ha►siness at the Secretaries of States' Offices, in Down;ng-street. A Corunna mail, conveyed by the Frederick packet, arrived yesterday. A frigate had arrived from Vera Cruz at Cadiz, ivttli dispatches to the Court. Also 2,372,1,12 dollars, and 191,20 mares of silver, in ingots, with 1491 ounces of gold, and 64,875 pounds of cochineal. Letters from Buenos Ayres to the 21st of Au gust, are extremely barren of political intelligence. They merely state that preparations were making for a co-operating armament of .1000 men, in tended to proceed to Chili, for tlict passage of which over the Andes Mountains, the season was propitious. It is said that the wire of Marshal SouLTde livered to the KING on Sunday last a memorial explanatory of the conduct of ha husband. • Prince IkUCHER'S fall from his horse only oc •casione(fa slight excoriation of the shoulder. He set off on his return home within these few days, stating that I had received new favours front his Sovereign and permission to retire definitivety from the service. Next to the want of eoldiers (says a Morning Paper, speaking of the present , tote of France), is the want of money ; but in this respect the' French Government is at least as %yell off as its traitorous opponents ; although among the latter are many who have amassed large fortunes by the plunder of their fellow citizens in the Revolution. The contributions to the Allies, no doubt, hang heavily upon the Treasury; but their immediate pressure may perhaps be relieved by loans. We have reason to believe, that the French Govern ment, not long since, made overtures to two or three eminent mercantile houses in London, for an arrangement of this kind, which was broken off, because the latter rewired the guarantee of the British Government, which, under the exist ing circumstances, it was not thought proper to grant. New proposals, it was whispered yester day, had been made ; but with what prospect of success we have not yet been able to learn.. - Advices front Gibraltar to the 21st ult. were received in town yesterday, btoughc -by the An dromeda man of war, arrived at Portsmouth.— We are happy to state, that the epidemic disorder which has for many years past taken place at this season of the year, had not made its appearance at the above date. The following is an extract of a letter from the Agent to Lloyd's, . dated Gi braltar, Oct. -18, " The Algeriue squaaron which passed through these Straits to the westward oo the 4th inst. re nt:rued up the Mediterranean on the 14th ; it is not known whether the squadron has made any captures,_ but its uu►uber tut return was not in-, =and."

It was this packet :hat the boat put off for and attempted to reach on Sunday night, fks before mentioned. When the increasing violence of the gale compelled the boat to return to land, the vessel stood out to sea, and during the whole progress of the storm was in no essential danger. Tke head of Beachy was weathered without iliffi culty, and the packet made a rapid cour.be for Do ver, where she landed her passengers, 22 in num ber, in perfect salety, yesterday morning. Seve ral of the packages brought by the Thomas, from Dieppe, contain some valuable French china, re fined soaps, oils, Eitc. destined for St. Helena, and doulatlessly for BuoNAPAETe.

The remains of Lord and Lady MoLEswouTif, it is added, had been also discovered, and were found closely locked in each other's arms. RIOTS AT WOLVERHAMPTON. This Town was thrown into considerable con fusion on Monday, by a number of miners arid men employed in the ironworks,amounting to about 300 or 400, who came armed with bludgeons and sticks, and seemed bent upon riot and depreda- • tion. Mr. Fereday, whom it appears they had followed from Bilston, addressed them from the window of the Swan Hotel, and at the Angel Inn, after which, by degrees they dispersed, upon his engaging to meet them on the following morn ing. We hear that some of them were without work, but that the greatest part struck from a iletermivation not to have their wages lowered. A nuniber of special constables were sworn in on Monday night, and two troops of the Stafford shire Yeomanry at rived there yesterday morn ing : we hope their interference trill be finite ccssarv. The Staffordshire Yeomanry Cavalry were about three o'clock yesterday afternoon called into the neighbourhood of Coseley, where a great number of miners and others had collected, who assailed them with showers of brick-bats and stones but although several were hit, we are happy to say none received any serious injury. They charged the mob twice, but from the nature of the grounk they could only secure one of the most active. All was quiet when our account lei t, but-there were a great many ill disposed per Sons about. A troop of the 2d Dragoon Guards, and a body of the Middlesex Militia, marched early this morn ing from our barracks for the above neighbour- - hood.—Llirminivka PI Parer, Non. 1 5. The Magistrates of Glasgow, intend to invite the Austrian Princes to a grand dinner in that City. The 20th regiment of Light Dragoons, marched this week to join the depot in itadipoic barracksil , where horses are ready to remount the whole. N E V. Private letters from l'aris notice the following particulars respecting Marshal NEi-, which were not mentioned by the Journals : ",T4ere has been a marked curious change ill the tone of the Jacob-in party respecting him late' ly : When it was supposed that his life would be spired by the clemenCy of the Kill, they `wer e clamorous for his blood ; and now that it is pro' posed to let justice take its course, they talk c l nothing but his valour, his services, and his de. votiou to France. When he made his appearanco in the Military Court, almost the whole a udiene rose from their seats ; his presence produced st lively sensation, and a short pause . followed. The President invited him to sit down in ari arm chair, placed on a small platform, opposite to the Members of the Court ; he made a s light inclination of his body when invited to sit atol l ' lie wore a simple military frock without facings; he had a piece of crape round his arm, and also something in the form of a cockade in his coded hat ; he, of course, had not the white cockade lie appeared in good health, and not depressed, though occasionally agitated. lie had to cross a part of the Court to reach the place allotted for hint, where the guards pre sented arms to bhn as be passed.
