The Paris Papers of Wed"esday confirm the -intelligence w e announced yesterday of the death of the king of NAPLES. His son, FRANCIS I. on aiceading the throne issued a decree confirming all the existing authorities. Thine Journals contain some curious and im- Portant documrilts detailing the progress and con rhisiou of the late fruitless negotiation between Fl'ance and Hayti, for the acknowledgment by the former of the independence of the latter. We h ave Inserted the Proclamation of President 13 °'rElt, which gives a simple and apparently faithful account of these transactions, and also a s3 oonary of the proceedings of the llaytian Peputles with M. ESMANGART, the Prefect of the Lower Rhine, who was appointed to conduct l b" negociation on the part of France. The Punic faith of the French Government is con 'Picuous throughout the whole of the transac "blis ; while the conduct of the Hay tian Pre *lent and his agents is marked by the greatest frankness, honour, and good faith. The South American question is still the sub .l,!ct of earliest discussion with the French Jour "lists, but it is treated in a more reasonable and niollerate tone by the Royalist Papers. The Joigrnal dcs Debals sets forth, In an eloquent article from the pen of M. de CHATEAUDRIAND, the advantages of the conduct adopted by this e ""try, and contends that it would have been the best policy of France to have become the rival of England in the new States of South Ame ric•a) by gainin g Lion O f a march u p on us i n th e recogni their independence, and that her wisest course, even now, would be to follow our ex "'Pk, rattler than to embark her resources I " a hopeless struggle to maintain the Mo archical principle in the Americas. It seems, mwever, that such designs are not entirely 4balldoDed, for, accordi ng to t h e f o ll ow i ng ex tract from the Constitutionnel, FERDINAND of • pain intends to make one ,more effort for the re ostablisbment of his authority in his former king dom of the Indies. ( From the Constitutionnel of Tuesday.) the affair o f the disputes between the Generals Ol a n e ta and B erna has latterly occupied our Government almost exclu 'itelY% its chief care being now directed to the preservation of our Colonies in the Pacific. Many Councils have been held to decide the knotty point as to which of the Generals the Govern- Inent shall support ; it was still undecided yesterday ; but to -4% fearing that a continuance of these disputes may give a , dea th -blow to the cause of the Mother Country in Peru, a step still has been decided In upon, whi c h may tend to exasperate them ore, Wit 3 determined that the delegates of those Generals should convey fresh orders and decorations to the respective Chiefs, and assurances of the entire confidence which his Majesty had in their courage and loyalty, and of the ap probation which their conduct and services had produced. We are also assured, that it was this day decided to send 1:2,000 fresh troops to Peru ; that the Minister of the Indies should be established on the same footing as at the time of the Count de Galvez ; that General Apodaca, Viceroy of Na varre, and fin-in.:fly of Mexico, should take the portfolio of Minister of the Indies; that the Supreme Council of the Indies should immediately name two Intendant Generals, for the purpose of hastening the expedition ; and that they should select some of the officers of Artillery now in Spain, who had formed part of the expedition commanded by General 3lorillo, and send them out in the first ships quitting our ports. As to the sources from whence the heavy expences of this expedition are to be defrayed, thee rely on the Church Re venues which the Clergy propose temporarily to give up, and on the receipts arising from the seventh of the property of the Monastic Orders, the sale of which was granted to Charles the Fourth, by a hill of the Sovereign Pontiff; and which has only been in part executed. Pants, .JAY. The Commissioners of the Marine in our ports have been directed by his Excellency the Minister of Marine and the Colonies to apprise the merchants who may have vessels in the roads of Ilavannah, that a frigate, a brig, and a corvette, on the Antilles station, will form a subdivision to be stationed otr the Ilavannah, to he specially employed in the protection of French merchantmen against the pirates, with which those roads a warn] , and to act in obedience to the orders of M. Angelucci, the Inspector-General of French Commerce in the island of (:üba. The command of this division will be entrusted to M. Cuvillier, the Captain of the Nymphe frigate. FRENCIt FUN'TYS.

We have received the Allgernehza Zeilang dated the Bth instant. It will be seen by the following article from Berlin that the experi mental expe►!ition of the Prussian Company o' Merchants trading to China has nut realised the erpcctations of its projectors : Dcc. 29. The Prussian China ship, the Mentor, brought, as part of its return cargo, a consideraL le quantity of tea, which was adver tised by the Society of Marhime Commerce to be sold by auc tion on the 20th of last month ; but the result of the auction did not answer the expectations conceived. The biddings were so low that the Society was obliged to buy in the whole cargo, except a small parcel of Cassia. This circumstance fortunately proves that the Society cannot enter into a competition in this trade with the mercantile world in general, which is the more to be regretted as the expedition of the Mentor was made as an experiment, whether the former trade to China by land might not he replaced by an intercourse by sea. Before the publication of the last Russian tariff; the Prussian transit trade to China amounted to 10 or 12 millions, but it has now wholly ceased, which is a great loss to Prussia, and we do not know how to open new channels for our manufactures.— It might be imagined that the conveyance to Canton by sea would be preferable to the land carriage through the Russian empire; but this seems to be an exception to the general rule-- land carriage being extremely cheap in Russia ; besides, an established mode of communication is generally preferable to a new one, as it is not so easy, as some may believe, to form new and safe mercantile connections. The Nuremberg Correspondent of the 7th in stant, which arrived this mornituz, does not con tain any article of interest to the English Reader, except the following : DRESDEN, JAN. 8. • On the 30th Dec. W. Chad, Esq. British Minister, resident at our Court, presented his credentials in a private audience, and had the honour of dining at his Majesty's table. The Bishop has caused a notice to be affixed to the Catholic Church, ordering a kind of pilgrimage to Rome, declaring that only such of the faithful as had chiefly followed the religious observances enumerated by hint are exempted from it. The language employed in this notice has made a disagreeable im pression on the inhabitants of this city, who have presented an Address to the Government, expressing their apprehensions for their religion. The reception which the Earl of Ltvettroor, and Mr. CANNING experienced at Bristol, an account of which we have given in another part of our paper this day, is highly honourable to that City. The Address to these distinguish ed Visitors, delivered by Mr. Town Clerk Len- Low, though it evidently must have been com posed in haste, is characterized by such spirit, elegance, and oratorical power, as could hardly have been improved by the most mature delibera tion. It is a proof that the Corporation and Ma gistracy of Bristol possess high talents, as well as loyal and Constitution a l vrinciples. Consider jog the suddenness of the occasion, we cannot but view the , A hole of the proceedings on this inte resting visitation, as a subject highly gratifying to the country at large. The Noble Lord and the enlightened Secretary, as might be expected, conducted themselves with ease, diguity, and impressive energy, and the intimations they gave of the probability that we shall long enjoy the blessings of peace, with all the advantages of an extended commerce, must afford universal antis. faction. But we need not dwell on a subject which is so fully detailed in the Report to which we refer our Readers, convinced that it will give increased lustre to the City of Bristol, and afford a cheering view of the situation and prospects of the Empire, as stated by two of the most able and eminent of his M;JESTVE Ministers. • MUNICIT, JAN.3.-Yesterday evening the new Theatre Royal was opened for the first time. Their Majesties and the whole Court were pre sent on the occasion, and were received with transport by the audience, who were deli ghted with the spl en d our o f t hi s new e difi ce, which has !o soon replaced that. which was so unfortunately destroyed by fire. This new edifice is securrd against such an accident ; not only all the tim bers of which it is composed, but even the lighter parts, the machinery, &c. being covered with a composition which resists the action of fire, as has beets satisfactorily proved by repeated experiment!. It. is reported in the Court Circle that his MA JESTY intends to visit each of the Metropolitan heatres in the course of the ensuing week. The Princess Sorms Went to visit the KING yesterday. Earl BATnuasT arrived in town ou Thursday night from Cirencester. The Noble Earl trans acted business at the Colonial Office, Dowuing street,.yesterday. SHIP CANAL TO PORTSMOUTH. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sta.—Perceiving that a Mr. CUNny has notified that he is about to bring forward a plan for a Ship Canal from " London to Arundel 13a y and Ports mouth !" I cannot refrain from referring, to my Prospectus for such a work, from Deptford to Portsmouth by Arundel, printed an•l distributed on the Ist of November last, with a map of the proposed line, and remarking that Mr. CuNnv roust -idler suggest a different line, or acknow ledge his to be a copy from mine, which ever he does is a matter of indifference to me. The full de tails of toy plan will be very shortly before the public. I am, Sir, your very obedient servant, 3, Walbrook Buildings, JAM ES E 1431 ES. Jan. hi, 1825. THE Tll E It E. Da U T-LAY E.—The Meow If of Windier last night atlorded Mr. TERRY an opportunity of displaying the variety of his talents in thecharac ter Of Falstaff. We remember to have read some years ago, in the Edinburgh Courant, some com ments on Mr. TERRY 'S performance of this cha racter, which were marked by judicious and en lightened criticism, and were highly favourable to this respectable Actor. The truth is that Mr. TERRI- views the character of Puistulf . with criticnl discernment. Fa/staff is not a character of flowing hilarity, but of shrewd sarcasm and satire. QUIN was distinguished for his excellence in this part, and, from all that is known of his character and talents, he must have been of too stern and churlish a temper to be capable of luxuriant humour. If, t lerefore, he was deemed by the critics of his Gays an admirable representative of the part, he must have considered it in the same light Its it appears to Mr. TERRI.. Mr. T. gave the points with precision and force, and altogether his performance was a proof of his knowledge of the A uthor, and of the true features of the cha racter delineated with such exquisite skill and consistency. The only objection we have to the Pastulfof last night is, that he was not rendered sufficiently corpulent, and that he was too nimble for such a weight of obesity as the author has described. The house was full, and the applause abundant. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE.

THE PROFESSIONAL SOCIETY'S FIRST SUBSCRIPTION CoNrcE wr took place in the Assembly Rooms, George-street, on Friday. It was truly gratifying to see it so numerously and splendidly attended. A considerable and highly judicious al teration had been effected in the arrangement of the seats and orchestra. The latter was occupied by a very powerful body of pertbrmers, led by .11r. Pearson ; and their exertions met with great and deserved applause. The vocal part of the perform ance, by Mins Noel, All r. Thorne, and Mr. Swift, though of a superior description, was surpassed in effect by the instru mental. Weber's magnificent overture to the " Ruler of the Spirits," was executed with singular brilliancy. It possesses, in a remarkable degree, that mysterious subli mity of character, which is the great charm of his compo sitions ; and the etrect on the audience was strikingly apparent. It was one of those pieces which met with an enthusiastic encore. An, exquisite quartett by Mo zart, was played by Messrs. Yaniewicz, Murray, Stewart, and Simpson, to which the former ably supported the celebrity he has acquired, of being the first performer on the violin on this side of Tweed, if not one of the first in Britain. Several persons preferred this piece even to the overture by Weber.— From this successful beg4ining, we predict that the whole of the Society's Concerts will go off with great eclat.—( Edinburgh Observer, Jan. 11.)

The Leeds Intelligencer, dated Thursday, gives the follow lug account of a dreadful accident which happened at Middleton Colliery, near Leeds : SECOND E , D T I h T u I r O s d N a Three o'Clock. One of theinnitoelsitigtreenneleernrusceexplosions took place at 'diddle- ton Colliery, near this town, the property of C. J. Brandling, Esq. M.P., about seven o'clock last evening, th at h as ever b een known to occur in this neighbourhood. The report was as loud as that of a cannon, and produced such an eflixt upon the various parts of the pit, seemingly to one of the persons who was employed in it at the time, as though the whole was falling in with a dreadful crash. Of course, as the whole of the men who were employed in the immediate vicinity where it happened have fallen a prey to its violence, except the few who were taken to our infirmary about two o'clock this morn ing (and they were in such a state as not to give any precise ac count of the circumstance), it cannot be ascertained, with any degree of absolute certainty, how it was occasioned ; but we have collected the tbllowing particulars from the spot, which develope the only rational means that can be imagined as the cause of its occurrence. It is customary, after ex cavating a part of the pit, about fifteen yr.rds In length, to prop the roof by supporters till they perfoiut the like opera tion on a similar quantity of coal adjoining ; then to rearre the props from the first allotment, securing only that part of the pit nearest the place where labourers are employed. In the space left by the excavation the foul air collects, and it is supposed that this old strata has fallen in and driven the com bustible element with such force towards the spot where the men were employed, as to cause it to take tire and explode. Had this event taken place when the necessary precaution of having the safety guards upon the lamps was in operation, it would have produced no such effect; but it was entirely owing to the imprudent conduct of some of the unfortunate individuals themselves, in keeping their lamps exposed to the air, which was known to be the case yesterday. The truth of this remark is confirmed by the fact that the lamps have since been used in the pit with the wire-guards, and are found perfectly secure. It is said that there were two shocks, and that more injury was sustained from what is called the black damp or after-damp, than was received from the ore which immediately preceded it. The men by the former were burnt, and by the latter suffocated. The pit is one of those which is entered by what is called a day-hole, and proceeds under a hill on a level with the surface of the ground at its entrance for nearly a mile, where there is a perpendicular descent of seventy-five pods, at the bottom of which the pit branches off in ditnrent directions. In one of these branch roads the accident happened, and some of the Well were found laid in groups of five or six one upon another, and in other places more, at about 40 yards from the pit bottom, or the place where they would have to ascend to make their escape ; some were two hundred and others three hundred yards from this point. There were ten men in more distant parts of the pit, who, though they felt the effects of the shock, received no further injury than that of being knocked down by the violence of the explosion. The number of men who were killed on the occasion is twenty-four, and we have endeavoured to collect their names and ages with as much precision as the present confused state of things would permit. The following are their names, and what other circumstances we could learn respecting their families : John Procktor, (aged 60); wife and three childen ; James Wood, (23) ; his wife was brought to bed yesterday; Benja min Wood, jun. (13) ; Benjamin Wood, sen. (45), father of tho two former ; wife and three children ; Joshua Liversedge; (45) ; wife and 10 children ; Samuel Rannalen, (12) ; Calita Ramsdell; (14) ; John Hamsden, (20); William Heald, (18) ; Win. Wood (36), wife and child ; Joseph Dixon (8); San derson Handford ; this young man would have completed his 18th year to-morrow ; Samuel Cromack (10); Benjamin Broad head (40), wife and one child ; George Wright (27), wife and three children ; Luke Norminton (27), wife and two children ; James Drury (18) ; Richard Foster (5) ; this poor little fellow was taken out alive in a mangled state, and expired tit three o'clock this morning; James Heald (14) ; George Ambler (8) ; P. Hamel (33), wife; .1. Foster (8) ; J. Haigh (40), wife and child, anti .1. Ramsden (20), are yet in the pit, and supposed to be dead; 0. Ambler (8), both his thighs broke; John Liversedge (20), much burnt; Samuel Hewitt (15), skull fractured ; George Hewitt (22), much bruised ; were taken to the Infir mary about two o'clock this morning, and there are some hoped entertained of their recovery. The distress that prevails throughout the neighbourhood cannot be conceived. In sonic families two, and in others three have fallen in the general wreck ; and while the friends of the deceased were waiting at the pit's mouth with breathless anxie:y, to krow the fate of their relatives, the heart-rending cries of wid( wi and fatherless children presented such a scene as beg.. gars all description Nor has the appearance of things much changed fur the better ; sorrow appears depict in every ceura tenance, and the whole neighbourhood seems tojoin in the coal. mon grief. _ The friends of Haigh and Ramsdell, who are yet in the pit, are labouring under the most poignant feelings of despair, sometimes but slightly relieved by a faintly glimmering ray of hope that their destiny may possibly not be eternally fixed. The utmost exertions were used to rescue them ; and ),Ir. Blenkinop, .Alr. Nicholson, and a number of others connected with the colliery, were incessantly employed till five o'clock this morning, when the fire reached such a pitch as to render it un safe to proceed any further. Since then the pit has been, in a great degree, in a burning state, and they are adopting mea sures to put a stop to its progress, which may be effected in a day or two, or may continue a much longer time. It is almost impossible to describe the appearance of the un fortunate sufferers ; several of them have broken limbs ; such as were most affected by the first blast, have all the skin burnt off their faces, and the bodies of others are perfectly black. One young man appears to have been fighting against the flames upon his body, as, at the time he was found, his hand was full of flesh. Before we dismiss the narration of this melancholy event, we. venture to ►uggest the propriety of some of oar more opulent fellow-townsmen, immediately setting on foot a subscription tzr the relief of the bereaved widows and fatherless children ; of whom there are ten of the former, and twenty-five of the later.
