FRENCH PAPERS. ( From the Journal de Paris of Monday, May 16.) PARIS, MAY 15. Eta Majesty arrrived this morning from St. Cloud, before eleven o'clock, and gave audience to Cardinal de Clermont - lonnere, after which he attended mass in the chapel of the Palace. Daring masa, Baron de Lalive went with a carriage, belong trg to her 'Royal Highness the Dauphines.% to fetch from the (seta the Duchess of Northumberland, Ambassadress Extra erstinary.Of England. On their arrival at the Palace, the Duchess rested herself in the Salon of the Ambassadors, wait tag for her reception, which took place after mass,. in the fel. lowing manner :—The Ambassadress was conducted in the same cStriage to the Pavilion of Flora, to the bottom of the rand staircase, and entered the apartments of the Dsuphiness, wheraliatly Granville, Lady of the British Ambassador, was waiting her-arrival. The a uphiness, who, on this occasion, represented the .D Queen, having arrived, sat down in an armed chair, surrounded by a brilliant circle of the Ladies of the Court, most distin guishsd. for their rank and birth. Her Royal Highness com manded the Duchess de Damas, her first Lady of Honour, to introduce the Ambassadress. She was then conducted into the grand audience chamber of the Princess, to whom she was pre sented, with all the ceremony usual at Court. Her Royal Highness rose, and having embraced the Ambas saebess, invited her to sit down in the circle, and immediately after, the, King, accompanied by the Dauphin, arrived. His Majesty spoke in the most flattering manner to the Ambassa dress, and soon after his Majesty and his august son retired. The Ambassadress, having t a ken leave of her Royal Highness, • paid bar visit to Madame the Duchess of Berry. She was in troduced by the Countess de Noailles, in the absence of the Dustless of Reggio, her Lady of Honour, and presented to her Royal Highness, who received her standing, and afterwards in shid her to sit down on a folding chair (un pleant), opposite the arm chair; all the Ladies surrounding her Royal High ness remained standing. The Ambassadress, having retired, paid a visit to the Duchess de Darnas, Lady of Honour to the llPlauphiness,• and immediately after was re-conducted to her hotel with the same ceremony as on her arrival. The Duchess of Northumberland had two carriages following her. The costume of the Ambassadress was rich and brilliant in the extreme; she was covered with diamonds ; the mantua, in particular; was of extraordinary richness, and so covered with. embroidery that two bearers coul d hardly carry it. On occasiorrof the reception of her Grace, there was a grand dinner .in the apartments of the Dauphin, at which the Count . de Dose Bussac presided, at which both the Duchess of Northumberland and Lady Granville were present. Athalf-past one there was a Council of Ministers, at which his Majesty presided. It sat till a quarter past four. His.lilajeaty will return to Paris on Thursday, and there re main till his departure from Rheims. It is declared that the return of the King to the capital shall take place on the 6th June, and not on the 4th, as was at first said. The King intends to give the army a striking proof of his satisfaction ; he grants it on his Coronation 800 crosses of the Legion of Honour, of which 60 are for officers. (The official part of the Moniteur contains only a short no tice of the presentation of the Duke of Northumberland.) ( From the Journal des Debate of Monday.) CADIZ, APRIL 29. (PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.) The Zea, a corvette of the Spanish Royal Navy, commanded by I'd. Hall, arrived the day before yesterday from Quilca, in Peru, after a voyage of 118 days. Captain Hall has landed alone, and the corvette has had no coinmunication with the pert. It has orders to fire upon any boats which may approach within a certain distance, and the owner of the boat is to pay a tine of 100 francs. Two hours after his landing, Captain Hall set out for Madrid, with dispatches for the Yesterday, arrived the St. Lawrence, merchantman, in 47 days from Porto Rico ; no communication is allowed with the port, and the Captain has been fined 130 piastres, for having communicated with a.fishing boat. Notwithstanding all these precautions, we have, however, heard at C adiz, that there were en board the Zea several officers of the armies of Canterac and La Serna ; that the Pezula sailed from Quilca for Spain four days before the Zea, likewlse with some officers of the Viceroy's army ; and lastly, that the Saint Francis d'Assise, ship of the line, and the Achilles, brig, had sailed from Lima for Manilla, to endeavour to check the spirit of opposition to the Govern ment of the Peninsula, which shoved itself in the island. (From the Constitutionnel.) MADRID MAY 5. An express from Cadiz, that arrived on the 3d, has given rise to a report that a vessel from the coast of Peru had arrived in that port, with a great many officers of La Serna's army, sod a dozen monks who seek refuge in Spain. While vessels arrive in all the portsmf Europe with the me lancholy recital of our irreparable disasters in Peru, and others being to Cadiz the remnants of our arm ies. it is curious to see our Government loudly proclaim an expedition of two regi ments fitting out at Corunna, to go, it is said, to re-conquer Peru, where the armies of Canterac and La Serna have tailed. But we must not be deceived respecting the object of this ex pedition; for it - is not to Peru, on which our Ministers think no longer, but to the Havannah that they mean to send it, to prevent, if possible, the emancipation of that rich colony.— iome young Frenchmen have lately arrived, to enlist in the squadron of foreign Gerdes du Corps. General Santos Ladron has lately sent a a column of Spanish troops in pursuit of a band of malefactors who traverse the valley of Roncal. and have even advanced to Bena. The greatest excesses they commit are against the monks. FRENCH FUND3.—PARIS, MAY 16.

THE LATE BISHOP OF SNLISBURY. The exemplary Prelate was the eldest son o -the Rev. Joust . FISHEU, Prebendary of Salisbury, and Recto -of Calbourn in the Isle of Wight. He was born in 1748. The earlier part of his education was derived partly under his pa rental roof, and partly at St. Paul's School, London. anti it was completed at St. Peter's College. Cambridge. In 1773 he was elected a Fellow of St. John's Collage in the same University. In 1781) he was appointed Preceptor to his. Royal Highness Prince Edward, afterwards Duke of !Cent. In 1781 he was made a Chaplain to the King, and in 1786 a Canon of W indsor. This preferment he resigned in 1803, on being made Bishop of Meter. In .1805 he was appointed Preceptor to her Royal Highness the Princess Charlotte of Wales ; and in 1807 he was translated from the See of Exeter to that of Salisbury.— Sincere and unostentatious in his piety, he was at all times de sirious to promote, to the best of his judgment and the utmost of his ability, the cause of true religion and prae.ical benevolence. Ever the firm and steady friend of all that was valuable in so. ciety, his anxious wishes and active services were uncea Es tablisingly devoted to the secur it y and prosperity of our shde Church. He was an accomplished scholar and a sound divine ; but the ordinary laborious duties of an extensive diocese, and the extraordinary and important avocations to which his atten tion was imperatively ealled for a considerae per itsiod, l B eft ut h his im little leisure to employ his pen in 'literary bl pursu. superior merit, both as to, ability and integrity, was ad mitted and proclaimed by. the flattering attention he at all times received from his Majesty King George the Third ; than whom no one was better able to discern, or more willing to appreciate, what was truly and intrinsically valuable. Of the good opinion his Majesty entertained of the Bishop,no stronger proof could be given than that he was selected 4 ' to superintend the edcation of the Princess Charlotte of Wales, the presumptive heir to the throne of these realists. With how much credit he conducted himself in that arduous and import ant office, and how deeply the country was indebted to him for the promising prospect of future public benefits, which the acquirements of that amiable and illustrious Princes held forth to the nation (although it pleased Providence to with draw her from us prematurely), is already sufficiently known, .and will ever be gratefully remembered. .In the peculiar duties of his diocese, the Bishop was most exemplary and at tentive. Anxious, not only to correct abuses, but to promote what was beneficial to the general and local interests of the Church, he was at all times most readily accessible to his clergy. He was not merely their diocesan, but their father and their friend. To every thing suggested to hint, he gave a most willing attention and serious consideration, and his warmest support and co-operation to all that was praiseworthy, and tended to a laudable object. In the relations of private life, they who experienced his excellent qualities, will bear testi mony in the poignancy of their feelings, to what i.. language, they would find it impossible to express. Sufficeit to say, titat with all that cheerful vivacity and engaging urbanity of man ners—theoverflow of a truly amiable and well-ordered mind—he was invariably modest, humble, kind, benevolent, and charitable, even to an extreme. In short,' in' the death of •the Bishop of Salisbury, the Church has lost a zealous and firm support, so ciety a distinguished ornament, and his friends a blessing, which none but themselves can adequately appreciate.—(Berk-, Citronick.)
