FRENCH PAPERS. PARIS, FEB. 21.—The report that Gen. Quesnel disappeared from his -hotel on the 10th of . this month, is unfounded, for he was seen on the same evening at the Opera. The state in which his papers and his lodgings were lett, prove that he imended to return home as usual. His relations have ascertained that he bad not made any .prepa rations for his departure. Hitherto every effort to discover what has become of hiM has been in effectual. BAYOtINE, FEB. 30.—We are assured that the Dry of Algiers has declared war against Spain.-- Letters from Andalusia state, that the Algerines have landed . on the coast of Malaga, and have c4rried off several of the inhabitants. The troops that Were at Seville immediately began their march fur Sr. loch, and a camp will be formed there, from which troops can be sent,. to any quarter where they may be wanted. VIENNA, FEB. 10.—The Congress are now en gaged in considering what compensations shall be given to the Viceroy. of Italy, according to the ar rangements of the Treaty of Paris. FRONTIERS OF AUSTRIA, FEB. 10.- We are as ' fired that Lord Castlereagh has at length suc -ceeded in prevailing upon the Maritime Powers to abolish the Slave Trade, which will entitle him to the thanks of Parliament upon his return to London. Spain and Portugal have; it is said, en gaged to abolish it in six years. We do not know whether it be•trne, as reported, that France •has,, engaged to abolish the, Trade in•two yeltrs - instead of five, as. was stipulated in the Treaty of Paris. A negotiation was, it is said, entered into with Buonaparte, to induce him to give up the Isle of .Elba, and to reside in Scotland. He rejected all, the propositions made to him. Upon the subject being brought under the consideration of't'Con gress, the Russian Plenipotentiary declared that the treaty concluded! with Buonaparte on the April could not be altered without his . consent. 7 Thus the matter now stands. MADRID, FEB. 12.—The Duke de San Carlos is going to Vienna as Ambassador. The Duke .D'lnfantado succeeds him as Mayordouzo Mayor. Moyano is definitively . appointed INlinister of Mercy and Justice. The Duke D'lnfantado quits the Presidency of the Supreme Council of Castile, where be succeeded the Duke de Ilijar. PARIS, FEB. 21.—The Austrian army will be put upon the peace establishment in March. We are assured that the King of Saxony trill go to the confines of Moravia to sign the Treaty which restores him his States. SCANIA, JAN'. 30. General Aldercrcutz has given in his resignation as Quarter-Master-Gene ral of the Army : 'he is succeeded by General Biorsterna. AUSTRIA, FEB. 10.—The territory which Prus sia will acquire consists of 300 square leagues. = it is thought that Lord Castlereagh has contri buted very much to the arrangement of, this af fair, which was likely to be protracted for several weeks. He would not quit' Vienna till the discus si-ou was terminated. •ile thought . that the best way to answer the attacks of Opposition. it is said that Lord Castlereagh' has expre§sed r.h anxious desire to have the affairs of ,the left bank of the Rhine settled before he quitted Vienna, p.tirl it is thought that be will stop till this great affair is terminated. The Congress is now occupied about the affairs °Maly, and particularly about Naples. .The Exchange with Augsburg continues be tiveen 290 and 300. FUNDI, FEB. 7.—Numbers of banditti have associated together in our country, and have even. "become so bold that they came to our town and demanded a contribution in money and clothes, Nvhieh they were on the point o( receiving, when fortunately a party of the 3d regiment of lancers arrived, who attacked the banditti, killed 11, and took 17 prisoners. They consisted principally of Romans and Neapolitans.. • FUN DS. Oenti # • • Bunk Actin:l!: '9f. c, . .11£il f. —c. BRUSSELS AND PRA "K FORT PAPERS.

The authors of this last Journal refute to-day this scandalous proceeding, and conclude thui—" The lesson which the Journal de Paris received for having misrepre-' sented the speech of the Duke of Tarenttun, ought to have made it avoid a second trick, which deserves a more dishonourable name than tht first." m,\tLs.

LONDON, F D_4l", FEBR Ud RY 21, 1815. • Fi'ench Papers of the 21st, and Dutch Papers of the 20th, have reached us this morning, but they add little to our authentic info! mation , though they venture on a few variations in the details re specting Saxony, the Slave Trade, and other sub jects which have been so long and uncertainly dis cussed. The . Barbary States have, i✓ is said, declared war against, at :any rate they have com menced depredations upon, Spain: Our extracts are in preceding columns. Lord WHITWORTII io cerzait4 coming to .Eng land, but,_ me uoderstand, will, if his health per mits, return to his Viceroyalty in:lreland, the functions of which important o. ire will, of course, he discharged, during hisrabsence, by Lords Jus tices, created for the occasion. The AdjOurned Debate on the Corn Laws was resumed last night, in the House of Commons, and did not terminate till hear four o'clock this morning. Mr. BAntsG's.proposition for "a tem porary measure'' was negatived, without . a divi sion.—Mr. Pao-rnr:noc moved to substitute 765, instead of 80s. as ;he protecting price-which amendment was negatived ; as was also that of Mr. BARING (made while the doors were closed) to reduce it to seventy-two shillings. The main question, that the price should be 80s. per quarter, was carried on a division-209 for it—Gs against it. While strangers, were ex eluded, liet Teen three and four o'clock this morn ing, we understand M'i% WHITBREAn remarked to the Committee, the inutility of the discussion then pending, relative to the standard price, and (upon which Mr. BARING w:rs delivering his opi nion), as there was no channel through which the public were likely to- obtain information on • this important xinestion.

The Lady Louisa packet had also arrived safe at Rio Janeiro, and sailed on the 7th Dec. for Bahia.

His Royal Highness the PRINCE REGENT yester day, at Carlton-house, held a Levee, previous to which Lord ERSKINE was invested with the Order of the Thistle, with the usual forms and ceremonies. The LeVee was very numerously at .tended. Among those present were--- The Dukes of Yell, Clarence, and Kent ; the Archbishop of Canterbury, the First Lord of the Treasury, the Lord Privy Seal, the Lord President of the Council, the Secretaries of State for the Home and War Departments, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the First Lord of time Admiralty, the Master- General of the Ordnance, the Piesident of the Board of Con trol, the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, the Master of the Mint; Earl Marshal •of England, with his Staff of Otlice; the Lord Steward, the Lord Chamberlain, the glt f t er of the Horse, the Secretary at War, the Treasurer of the Navy, the Attorney General, the Chancellor of the Exche quer of Ireland,. the Dean of Windsor, the Lord Chief Justice of the Court of Kibg's Bench; the Judge of the Admiralty, the Judge Advocate, the Vice Chamberlain;. Foreign Ambas sadors and Nlinisters, Russian, Austrian, French, Spanish, 'Prussian, Turkish, Swedish, Danishy Portuguese, Sardinian, ,Sicilian, Bavarian, Wurtemberg, tscc.• There was an immense number of presenta tions ; but we are precluded from giving the names by the urgency of more important matter. Ad miral HALEOWELL, General Sir J. MURRAY, and Sir hI. C. CA RR, were among the persons pre sented. IMPORiANT CH F, AL DISCOVERY.—We: un derstand that Mr,lioniylg, to whom the Public are indebted for several useful discoveries in mechanics, chemistry; &c. has, in the cOune of his Chemical Experiments, recently disco vered the existence of tannin in the fibres of th e oak root, and that tl, hitherto unnoticed pro duction may be Very successfully employed in the manutacture of leather, as it contains within an eighth as much of the principle in question as the common o 4 bark. Jr, may be very advanta geously employed also as a mordant in dyeing, where a powerful astringent is required. NEW PosT-OmcE..---We are assured that what Mr. GRE - sIFF.t.t. said in the house of Commons on Tuesday last, on the subject of the - intended New Post Office, was not correctly given in aMorning Paper, and thence- copied into Ti ft: Sow on 'the following day. My. GuEs:FELL, we understand, said,'" that the amount of the sum required, in- 1 stead of being, as erroneously stated, 800;000/..1 was not one half of that % sum, and that h e was I perfectly satisfied, from authentic information which he had obtained, that a new Post-Office would be erected on the' proposed scite for a less sum than that for which the necessary accommo dation could be afforded in the present situation." We feel much pleasure in stating this matter as it is, because, independently of other considera tions, the enereased accommodation to all classes of people throughout the Empire renders, thZ pro- • posed removal and nelfr building one .of.the most desirable national improvements: Letters from Cadiz of the .3 I sth of January state, that the British Ambassador has not , suc ceeded in obtaining the demands of the British merchants resident in. the trading parts of Spain.- The British have been called upon to pay contri butions equally with the Spaniards, and notwith- • standing the several representations of Sir HENRY WELLESLEY on the subject, the demand continues to be enforced. There is also some misunder standing about the introduction of British manu factured goods into Spain. _ _ .COURT-AkiaTIAL.-- - -A General Court-Martial was held at the Horse-Guards, Whitehall, on the 20th of December, 1814, on:. Serjeant THOMAS SANDALS, of the Ist Regiment of Foot Guards, for desertion, and embezzling the .sum of 2521. 16s. with which he was intrusted to settle the arrears of pay due to the company to which he belonged.— lie was found guilty, and sentenced to be trans ported for seven years, as a Felon. The sentence has been confirmed by the PRINCE REGENT. SINGULAR ROEBERY.—As GRIMALDI, the cele brated Clown, was returning on Mond a y n i g h t from. the - Theatre, - to his house near the New River Head, he was stopped in the Spa Fields by a fellow.in the dress of a sailor, who clapped a pistol to his head, and robbed him of a two-. pound Note. The moment the footpad left . him, he had recourse to a Pantornimical trick, and immediately following him. on his hands and knees, saw him take up and put on a watchman's coat, and, fact, he was the guardian of the night. GRIMALDI then applied to another knight of the rattle, but who.declinod to set it agoing ; the enraged Clown then snatched it from him, and sp ) ruit himself, an d t h e t hi e f i n masquera d e was son taken taken from his beat, and placed in the neigh bouring watch-house. Yesterdli he was examined and committed for trial, . NATIONAL SCHOOL. ST. T►IARTIN'S PARISH. On Tuesday, a most respectable Meeting of the friends of thi s I ns tit ut i on , amount i ng to about 200 pe z rsons, dined together at, the Freemasons Tavern, Mr. HENRY DaumaoND, in the Chair' In 'the anti-room, were stationed nearly tive-h ull i , dred Children, who are :ready enjoying, tiir" its means, the blessing of an honest and oso u 'education. Troia so gratifying an introductio n, the company might truly sit down to dinner virit. l e an appetite to relish th e i r entertaiMent, which , is but justice 'to the rewards and the !louse; to say, was in everyrespect excellent and we ll ' conducted.' After the - customary loyal toasts, Arch . deacon POTT (Vicar o f St.lllartin's) proposed " Success to the Institution," which was duly h°' n,oured. lie ,then, as Treasurer to the CharitY;' made a report of its state and progress, ‘yhich be. prefaced with some excellent remarks on t h e inestimable adv'antages to • the rising 'genera' tion, whom it was the object of the Establish" went to protect and educate in the paths.of virtue. Ite dwelt with fervour and energy on the benevo: levee of the design, and detailed the encouragemen t which had attended it, and' especially from the Female sex, who in this, as on every other tender relation otlife, had s e t an exam pl e o f un i versa l zea'• and assiduity in promoting the cause of humanitY . After this address, which was alike honourable t ° the speaker as a man and a Christian, the Secre . " tary received the voluntary .subscriptions of t he company, - which amounted to upwards of :220; included in which liberal benefaction we notice' with pleasure a collection made by the Ladies the gallery, and five guineas from th e musieg' Gentlemen present, in addition to the gratulto° s exertion of their talents. The health of the Chairman, of Mr.Archdeaco ll Potty and of the Rev. Mr. Embry, of St. Pdar s Covent-garden, Were severally drank with grea t ' applause, from their having taken so earnest 33 intetest in behalf of the'Charity, to which the se Gentlemen returned•snitable thanks. The health' of Messrs. Fyntnore and Clarke, who had giv er ' their professional assistance, and filled the offic e of Secretaries, without remuneration, was al' ° drunk, with a handsome com pli ment to them fo r their assiduous and-constant attention in advalW ing the prosperity of the Schobl. After a day spent in the utmost harmony, an enlivened by some delightful glees by Aless r ,v ; Leets, Hawes-, Goss, Parry, Master Turk, &c. Chairman retired, and was succeeded by Mr. 1 331 gleish, who rallied a number of the most conv y vial of the Company, and kept up the social Cf r. joynient to a late hour. • We cannot take- leave of this subject without again adding our tribute in favour of an institutia: which is calculated so essentially to promote ti l l cause of morality and virtue : and, indeed, Wh et we glanced our eye over the assembled m ultitud e of Children at th e Meet e ing, we could not heat being most forcibly impressed with the deliglitf l 4 idea that all of them thus rescued from't he Mainl of ignorance', many of them from the snares of vie r ' • and some of them f rom th e h orrors o f cr i me , svfr likely to -be led through a youth of religious 111 ,1 Struction, to n life of rectitude in this w h rld,. 4° of immortal beatitude in the next.
