FRENCH PATERS. tFrorn the Afoniteur. PARIS OCT. 20.—His Excellency the Minister of Finance gave to-day a grand dinner, at which M. Huskisson, one of the Ministers of the King of England, President of the Board of Trade, was present, and also several Ministers, and many members of the Chamber of Commerce. The Austrian Official Journal contains the following article : The Journals of the liberal opposition in France, of 30th September, give the news that Austria and Russia are going to form a anion sanitaire on the frontiers of Turkey : in this measure they see, as is natural, the much-desired precursor of a cessation of that peace which is so hateful to them. It is not worth while to lose a word upon their remarks, since the pre tended fact which 'serves as a foundation for them is a pure falsehood, and one of those-falsehoods which have not even a shadow of truth in their favour. No Austrian soldier has quitted.his garrison, nor has there been any talk, either among us, or in neighbouring countries, of a cordon sanitaire, for which no cause existed. Some weeks hence the same journals, according to their usual tactics, will announce the dissolution of this cordon sanitaire ; they will affirm that the Court!of Austria certainly had such a measure in view, but that it did not dare to carry it into execution ; and lastly, as at the time of the I t a lian Congresses, they will say again, that we ourselves were the first who spoke of it. We therefore request that this little note may be considered as an answer to all the articles which the Consti tutionnel, the Courier Francais, &c. will not fail to publish on the subject." ( From the Journal de. Paris.) MuNrcii, OcT. 15.—The new King Louis Augustus is expected every moment. Meantime the Ministers have taken all the measures that the circumstances require. Expresses were dispatched yesterday morning to Vienna, Petersburgh, Dresden, Carlsruhe, and Berlin, whose Sovereigns are allied to the family of the King. The Fre nch Minister Plenipotentiary dispatched a courier to his. Government on the day of his 51a jesty's death (the 13th). This event has excited the profoundest sorrow in all classes of the people. The Queen, Prince Charles, his son, and the Princesses, are inconsolable, and their afflic tion is shared by the Queen Frederica of Sweden and her son Prince Gustavus, who have not quitted the Royal Family a moment since the fatal event. FRANKFORT, OCT. 15.—The Grand Duke of Baden and his Court have gone into mourning for six weeks for the King of Bavaria. The Munich Gazette announces, that yesterday (the 14th) the Royal Guards, and the troops of the line com posing the garrison of that city, were assembled at two o'clock to take the oath of allegiance to the new King. The day be fore the'Herald of the kingdom, in deep mourning, escorted by a squadron of cuirassiers, announced in the'principal squares of the city the death of the King, and read a proclamation signed by the eight Ministers of State. The late King, who com pleted his 69th year on the 2 7th of May, had always enjoyed excellent health. Accounts from Dresden say, that the negociations commenced to arrange the differences which have arisen to the succession to the Duchy of Saxe Gotha, have taken a favourable turn, in consequence of the mediation of his Majesty the King of Saxony. (Front the Courier Francais.) PARIS, OCT. 21.—N Society for mutual assistance was esta blished in Paris, in 18!5, by some Protestants of the capital. The object of the Society is to give succour to its 'members, or aged. To this Society the King of Prussia has made a pre sent of 1,000 francs. Since his return to Lagrange, General Lafayette has con tinually received the homage of the inhabitants. To U. Vignt, who had on occasion of a fete, addressed him in a touching strain, he expressed the satisfaction he had felt at being again in the midst of his family, and the pleasure he has felt at thinking the voice of the people of the United States would reach to his own valley.

GUATEMALA PAPERS. • FroLu the Geceta del Gobierno of July 22.) On the 16th inst. Dr. Pedro Molina, our Envoy to the Re public of Colombia, presented to the Suprdne Government the original treaty which, in conformity with his instructions, has been concluded with that Government. This is the first treaty which has been made in the name, of the Supreme Govern ment, and is also the first compact of the republic of the Centre with one of those of South America. The Government, de- sirous of learning the sentiments of enlightened men on those points, requests that the sons of the repub l forth their bser ic who render it illustrious by their literary works , may put o vations on the first treaty of the new association of Central America. TILZATY CONCLUDED BETWEEN COL * O3IBIA. AND THE UNITED PROVINCES OF CENTRAL . A3IERICA. The Republic of Colombia and the united provinces of the centre of America, being animated by the most sincere desire of putting a speedy termination to the calamities of the present war, in which they are engaged with the King of Spain, and both contracting Powers being disposed to unite all these resources, and all their forces both by sea and land, and to identify their principles and interests both in peace and war, have resolved to enter into a treaty of perpetual union, league, and confedera tion, which may assure to them for ever the advantages of li berty and independence. ' With this laudable object, the Vice-President, charged with the executive power of the Republic of Colombia, has conferred full powers on Pedro Gual, Secretary of State for the Foreign Affairs of the same ; and the Supreme Executive Power of the United States of the centre of America, to Dr. Pedro Molina. their Envoy to the said Republic, who having ex changed their respective p owers, have a; reed to the following articles :- 1. The contracting Powers unite, league, and confederate for ever, in peace and war, to sustain with their influence and .disposable force, their independence of the Spanish nation, and of any other foreign dominion ; to assure in this manner their mutual prosperity, and the best harmony and intelli gence, as well between the people and citizens of both cotmtriea, ae with the other powers with whom they may enter into rela- tions. 2. The contracting Powers spontaneously promise to agree to a firm and constant friendship and a perpetual close and intimate alliance, for the security of their liberty and inde pendence, and for their mutual and general good, obliging themselves mutually to succour and to repel in common any attack or invasion of the enemies of both which may in any manner threaten their political existence. 3. For the purpose of assisting in the objects pointed out in the preceding articles, the Republic of Colombia promises to assist the united provinces of the centre of America with its disposable sea and land forces, to the extent that may be de .terrnined at the Assembly of Plenipotentiaries, of which men tion will be made hereafter. 4, (This Article contains a similar stipulation on the part of the united provinces of the centre of America.) 5. Both contracting parties mutually guarantee the integrity of their respective territory against the attempts of the King of Spain, his subjects, or adherents, on the same footing as pre vious to the present war of independence. 6. In case, however, of sudden invasion, both parties may com mence hostile operations in the territory either of the - one or the other, whenever circumstances do not allow sufficient time to communicate with the Government to whom the in vaded territory belongs. The expences which may be incurred in these operations, and in others arising out of articlet 3 and 4, shall be liquidated by a separate convention, and shall be discharged within a year from the conclusion of the war. 7.11. (These Articles relate to arrangements for fixing the exact boundaries of the territory of each of the contracting parties.) 9. Both contracting . parties, desirous of providing a remedy, against the evils which may be occasioned by unauthorized ad venturers for the purpose of colonization on any part of the coast from the Mosquito shore, including Cape Gracios a Dios to the river Chagres, oblige themselves to employ their forces by sea and kind against any individuals who attempt to form esta blishments on those coasts, without first obtaining the permit- sion of the Government to which they belong. 10. In.order to draw closer the union and alliance agreed to by the present convention, the citizens and inhabitants of each shall have free entry and egress to and from their respective ports and territories, and shall enjoy in them all the civil rights and privileges of commerce, subject only to the duties and re strictions to which the people and citizens of each of the con traction. parties are liable. 11. Relates to the same subject. 12. Provides for the r ep air of merchant-vessels, or ships of war, in the respective ports of the contracting parties. 13. In order to prevent the scandalous abuses which may arise on the high seas from privateering vessels, to the preju dice as well of the national commerce as of that with neutrals, both parties agree to proceed judicially, on their respective ma ritime coasts, against the corsairs, who navigate under the flag .of either, or who may have committed outrages against the com merce of neutral nations, with whom both Powers are desirous of -cultivating harmony and good intelligence. 14. (Stipulates for the surrender of de serters from the sea arid land-forces of either power. This extends to the seamen of merchant vessels.) 15. (Agrees to refer any disputes which may hereafter arise between the two countries to the arbitration of plenipotentiaries appointed by each for that purpose.) 16. Both contracting parties agree to interpose their good of- fices to induce the Governments of the other States of America, formerly Spanish, to enter into a treaty of union, league, and confederation. 17. As soon as this important object shall have been attain ed, there shall be united a general assembly, composed of the plenipotentiaries of the American States, whose functions it shall be to cement in the most solid and stable manner the friendship which ought to exist between each and all of them— to assist by their counsel in all great emergencies—to form a point of support in all common dangers—to be the faithful in terpreters of their public treaties whenever difficulties arise re , specting them—and to become arbiters and conciliators in all their disputes and differences. 18. This convention sh 'I not in any manner interfere with the exercise of the national sovereignty of either of the contract ing parties, whether as regards its internal government, or its relations with foreign powers. Nevertheless, they expressly and irrevocably bind themselves not to accede to any demands for indemnity, which may be set up by Spain, or any other nation on her behalf, for the loss of her former supremacy over these countries; neither to enter into any treaty with Spam, or any other nation, to the prejudice of their independence, but to sustain on all occasions, and in all places, their mutual interests, with the dignity and energy of free, independent, friendly, fra ternal, and confederated nations. 19. The Isthmus of Panama being an integral . part of the Republic of Colombia, and the most convenient spot for the meeting of this august assembly, this Republic cordially pro mises to - afford to the Plenipotentiaries of whom it may be composed, all the good offices demanded by hospitality between fraternal nations, and by the sacred and inviolable character of their persons. 20. (Contains a similar stipulation with Art. 19, on the part of the united provinces of the centre of America.) 21. (Provides in cases of dispute for that interpretation which may be most conformable to the spirit of the treaty.) 22. (Requires the ratification witiiin 30 days of the Vice-Pre sident of Colombia, and within six months that of the Govern ment of the United Provinces of the centre of America.) GUATEMALA, .IDLY 22. On the 29th of April the President of the Republic ap pointed an interim C. Juan Francisco de Sosa, Envoy Extra ordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to the Government of (great Britain, to be Secretary of State for the general affairs of the Republic. He took possession of his office on the following day.

Sosa remains charged with the ministry of justice and ecclesiastical affairs, and also that of war and marine. In consequence of the resig nation of C. Sosa, C. Jose del Valle has been appointed, by order of the Senate, to the legation to the British Court ; in the event of his decling it, C. Dionicio Herrera, on the order of the senate, has been appointed to the same.

GLASGOW, OCT._ 22.—1 t is with feelings of deep regret and sorrow that we have to communicate to our readers the account of an atcident of the Moat melancholy kind. The details are as yet few—►the result most fatal. During the whole of yesterday the anmiety and sensation created in this city by the intelligence was very great. The alarm was greatly heightened by the knowledge of the fact, that another Stead' Boat was to leave the same quarter about the same time, and many individuals remained.ignorant in which of the boats the friends whom they expected might have taken their passage. Yesterday morning, the steam-boat Comet, with passengers from Inverness and Fort 'William, was run down off Kempock -Point, between Gourock and the Clough Light-house, by the steam-boat Ayr, outward bound. In rounding the point the vessels came in contact with such force and violence, that the Comet went down almost instantaneously, when above SEVENTY PEILSONs were, in a moment, precipitated into the deep—into ETERNIT ! Ten only are saved, out of above eighty, which were believed to be on board. Amongst those escaped is the Master, who was got on shore, but in such an exhausted state, that at the date of our latest accounts, he was unable to give any account of what had taken place, or of the passengers on board. There is too much reason to dread that the greater number of those who have perished are persons in the superior ranks of life. _ . The Ayr, we learn, had a light out upon her bow, but the Comet had none. As the night, however, was clear it is ob vious that a bad look out had been kept up, and most repre hensible neglect shorn on both sides. The Ayr received such a shock and was so mach damaged that she reached Greenock with much difficulty, in a sinking state. It was blowing fresh, with a heavy sea. It was also exceedingly cold, and at the moment the accident took place, those on the deck of the Comet were, it is said; engaged in dancing, to which amusement they were probably induced to resort in order to keep themselves warm, there not being sufficient accommodation below for the number of passengers on board. Much valuable property had floated ashore yesterday morn ing. Every exertion was making to save and lodge it in a place of security. Our respected townsman, Mr. Andrew Ran kine, was particularly active on the occasion, and, at an early hour in the morning, Mr. Marshall, Sheriff, from Greenock, had reached the spot, to give his advice and assistance on this distressing occasion. Twelve dead bodies had been washed ashore by an early hour yesterday morning ; amongst these were two genteely dressed females, two black servants, - and Mrs. 'Wright, the widow of the late Archibald Wright, drug gist, of this city. In the pockets of the body ofa gentleman washed ashore 701. was found. Amongst those who perished, and whose names we can state from good authority, is Mr. Graham of Corpach, Mr. Macallister, W.S., Edinburgh, and Capt. Sutherland, of the 33d Regiment, and his lady, who were only five days married. The body of Captain Sutherland and another passenger were found in the yawl this Morning. It is supposed she upset after they had got into her. Mrs. Suther land caught hold of Mr. Colin Alex. Anderson, from Appin (the only cabin passenger who is saved), and for some time clung round him, but in the struggle with the waves she lost her hold and perished. While swimming, much exhausted, and not knowing well in which direction the shore lay, Mr. Anderson was seized closely by the engine-man, from whom he found it impossible to 'disengage himself, and just as they were upon the point of sinking, they fortunately came in contact with the boat's yairl, which they immediately caught hold of, and; in doing so, she fortunately righted, when they both clung to her, and reached the shore in safety, but much exhausted. It is reported that amongst the sufferers is the Lady of a Colonel of the army, with a family of seven children, from Inverness; a Mr. Campbell of this city ; with a young gentleman, the only son of Mr. M'Braine, also of this city.— ' We forbear to state further the reports which we have heard of the names of the sufferers, least we make mistakes, and wound, without reason, the feelings of friends at a distance. Besides Mr. Anderson and the engine-man, already men tioned, there were saved, viz. Capt. M'lnnes, the Pilot, the car penter, a man a steerage passenger, from Fort George, a young girl, and a woman who was floated ashore safely betwixt two tables, but who unfortunately lost her child by the way. The poor man from Fort George, and who is arrived in Glasgow, is in a state bordering on delirium. To him Mr. Campbell of Corpach clung for ti; considerable time, when a wave threw the great coat of the latter over the head of the former, which com pelled him to throw Mr. Campbell off, just as both were upon the point of sinking. 'At the moment the fatal accident took place, we are in formed, upon the authority of Mr. Anderson, just arrived in Glasgow. that the passengers who were below were in high spirits, amusing themselves, telling and listening to diverting tales. The first stroke hit about the paddle of the Comet. The Captain and passengers immediately run upon deck to see what was wrong, when the next fatal stroke took place with such force, that the Comet filled, and in two minutes went down head foremost Mr. Anderson, we regret to add, states, that the moment this took place the Ayr, instead of lending them any assistance, gave her paddles a back stroke, turned round anti went off to Greenock, leaving them to their fate. If assistance had been rendered, he thinks many of the sufferers might have been saved ; but in the state of alarm in which he was, he may have been mistaken.—( Glasgow Courier.) THE ROYAL NAVY. PORT/MOUTH, OCT. 22.—Yesterday afternoon the Pyra mus frigate, Captain Robert Gambier, sailed for Vera Cruz, with Mr. Morrier, his Majesty's Commissioner to the Republic of Mexico, resident in that city, and Sir Robert Ker Porter, Consul-General to Colombia, resident at La Guyra.

BIRDS MISTAKEN FOR METEOItS.-All account recently published by Professor Hanstein, of a shooting star seen In the day-time, has excited a good deal of speculation among astronomers. Mr. Dick, a writer in the Quarterly Jour nal, has now shown, however, pretty clearly, that it could be nothing else than a bird. Whilst making these observations 12 years ago, on Venus, when close to the sun, he, whilst look ing for the planet, remarked a body passing across the field of the telescope, apparently - of the size of Venus, but varying a little in this respect ; at first it was mistaken far the planet, but its rapid motion corrected the error. In some instances four or five of these bodies appeared to cross the field of view, some times in a perpendicular, and at other times in a horizontal direction.. They appeared to be luminous bodies, somewhat resembling the appearance of a planet, when viewed in the day-time with a telescope of a moderate power. Their motion was rapid, and inclined to a waving or serpentine form. After 12 months' observation, Mr. Dick was enabled, by observation of some which were larger than' others, to decide they were birds, whose bodies, illuminated by the sola r ra y s, reflected light enough to produce the appearance. In a hot summer's day, when a similar phenomenon has been observed, there was every reason to attribute it to a number of winged insects flying r a t no great distance from the telescope. Mr. Dick iobserves, that Professor Hanstein's account of the kind of motion as being unequal, and resembling that of a rocket, corresponds to the motion of birds through the air. He remarks, too, that an appearance observed by the bate Mr. B. Martin, of certain bright round bodies running towqeds the sun, when viewed in particular circumstances, may be explained in the same manner. A BOOK is said to have just appeared without title-page, designation, or printer's name, consisting entirely of a list of men notorious about town for running in debt and not paying ; or, as the phrase among. them is, not caring who auifers. The first number contains 4,000 of such names, greatly to the annoyance of many, who may perhaps be thus shamed into honesty. It is threatened to be continued pe piodically. A CAUTION.-Three men have lately been tra velling in differenr parts of the country, offtring for sale shawls and .handkerchiefs, stating them to be manu factured from camel's hair. They sell them from l bs. to 20s. each, though not worth more than Au order'` was sent on Saturday from the Home Department to Newgate, for the immediate conveyance of WILLIAM CunesTreas, who was tried and convicted at the last Old Bailey Sessions, for embezzling m oney belonging to Messrs.

The Quarter Session of the Peace commenced this day, at Ilicks's Hall, before FRANCIS CONST, Esq. and a Bench of Magistrates. The Grand Jury having been sworn, retired to their - room, and the usual routine business of the Court was proceeded in. AeSAULT.—Williana Jones was indicted for beating Leda it a ppe Pa e r d is , il wasof St, James, Clerkenwell.

It appearing, however, that the prosecutrix was giving her testimony " more in sorrow than in anger," a compromise was proposed, gladly accepted, and the parties quitted the Court in good humour together. A battle royal took place in the Mall of the Court between two w omen, wives of one black man, against whom they had assembled to prefer a bill of indictment for bigamy. They were separated by the bystanders. DROWNlNG.—Yesterday evening two boys in a skiff were rowing up the river, when one of them having suddenly stood up, the boat upset, and both were immersed ; one of them clung to the boat and was saved ; the other, named James Isaacs, sunk, and although he arose to the surface once or twice could not' be saved. Ills father, who resides on Millbank, saw the acci. dent, and cou ld ren d er no assistance—his agony of mind ma y b e more easily imagined than de. scribed. * 6 41 Far London Markets ' see the Thir d ' ! ll' for Country Markets, see the Fourth flag" -4.
