FRENCH PAPERS. /Prom the Ztoik, dated Saturday, Nov. 12.) We learn from Marseilles, that the extraordi nary precautions employed with respect to the ships of Captains Audibert and Barron, from Alexandria, have been perfectly successful. Ac cording to the Circular of the Board of Health of the 30th of July, the plague was happily extin guished in the lazaretto : no new case has oc curred. The two infected persons completely cured, and who have been long separated from their •ship, had just been admitted to free pralique, as well as the surgeon and nurses who attended Ahem. Captain Barron's ship is also at liberty ; -that of Captain Audibert, which has a longer .quarantine to perform, will likewise be soon free. The crews of various ships, which were men tioned as having had cases of plague while at Alexandria, have been in a very satisfactory state of health since their arrival. Several of these ships have been already admitted into the port. It may therefore, be affirmed that there is now no danger of contag'on, and Te Dean; has been ce . lebrated in the chapel of the Lazaretto. Lord Stanhope is expected at Paris from Vi -enna. Mademoiselle Louisa Carden Julia Murat, second daughter of Madame Murat, was married at Trieste on the 17th of October, to Count Rasponoi, of Ravenna. The marriage ceremony was performed, with the consent of his Eminence the Archbishop of Trieste, in the house of Ma dame Murat. Count Rnsponoi is said to possess a considerable fortune. • The Parisian •Company for Iron Steam-boats launched its first boat on the sth instant, which was manufactured in the establishment of Messrs. Manby and Wilson, at Chareoton. A great num- her of spectators from Charenton, the villages oa the Seine, and Paris, were attracted by this sight. (From the Quotidienne of Friday.)

(From the 'Courier :Francais) MADRID, Nov. I.—The first step taken by the Duke de l'lnfentado has been to examine the proceedings relative to the affair of Bessieres : he read attentively all the papers, and found among them an order from the Krug fur the arrest of 14 other-persons., four of whom are Bishops, whi c h Messrs. and Recacho did not carry into effect on the pretext that great moderation was n....cessary in such moderate circumstances. His Excellency having seen how the conspiracy was , -oegrtaised, has begun to think the matter more -serious than it was represented to him. lie found that the first Minister and the Superintendaut of :Police had acted with great circumspection, and -earth! not do less than confess it. This discovery and some others must have shewn him that he himself was not initiated, in the high mys Aeries of the apostolic party and that he might be only their dupe. At least it is to reflections .of this nature that people ascribe the delay of the new Minister to strike the great blows which are so impatiently expected by those who. have raised hi m to the Ministry. It is not a little singular that since the change of Ministry the Duke should have had a long conference with M. de-Zea. A [armed at what he found in the documents respecting Bessieres, he wrote to the Ex-Minister for information. M. Zea replied that he would wait upon him, which he did, and they parted well satisfied with the explanation that has taken place. The Duke aftewards sent for M. Recacho, and spoke to him of the same affair: the latter assured him -that not only that what he had seen was caortain, but that the Captain-General of Catalonia had since informed him of two conspiracies in that province —teat the King was acquainted with these details, as his Majesty had given an express order to send him a daily report of all he heard -relative to the conspirators ; which order he -strictly obeyed. The Duke requested him to communicate the same information to him. It seems certain that several Ambassadors have' spoken with much energy to the Duke de l'infantado, and told him they were resolved to -oppose all kind of re-action or persecution,which has produced some sensation among the apostolic -patty.

VLF': HOUSE 'OF AUSTRIA. -[FROM TILE TIMES.I • The'following -is the copy of an Address re .ceutly firesetited to the Emperor 91 A usTAIA, by the—Archbishop , VEmicc, on the wretched state into which -that once mighty city has fallen under the " paternal" sway of the 'Douse of Austria. No doubt can be entertained of -the genuineness of -this very curious document, for .the preservation of which we are indebted to a Gentleman -of high honour and respectability, who is' now making the tour of Italy. Its publi cation, of course, in any part of the Continent, would not be permitted. The Archbishop is, we believe, natural brother to the Emperor whom he atdresses TO HIS MAJESTY FRANCIS THE SECOND, EMPEROR AND ICING, &c. &C. " Si az— Fourteen centuries of existence as the capital of a flourishing state and of an active and extensive commerce had rendered the city of Venice (in its origin without territory, and wanting the first elements of existence) the asylum of 118,000 • inhabitants; a wealthy aristocracy, that consumed the rich produce of the neighbouring districts, and which, aspiring at honourable employments, diffused its riches among the people an arsenal, which with its activity maintained 3,000 families, -more than sixty magistracies, sundry representative bodies, and sixty religious companies, which with their ramifications afforded the means of decent and comfortable existence to iinany hundreds of families of various ranks ; finally, a court of judi cature, which from the celebrity of its extemporaneous elo7 • The population of Venice in 1797 was 137,240 inhabitants. In this number were comprised the districts of Burano, Mu -, rano, Torcello, and Malamocco, now separated, and which • formed they a total of 00,Q00 souls, This number contains the population of Venice, alone, taken from the census of 1824, the districts of Burano, Murano, and Malamocco being separated. Hence the real decline in the population of Venice alone, from 1797 to 1824, amounts to 18,000 souls. - : . . . quence attracted a multitude of clients from the provinces of the terra firma, and procured for nearly 1,000 families comfort and riches;—all these were resources which ceased on a sudden with the changes in our political existence. " All these families from that moment saw their fortunes change, and from being able, with their superfluities, to relieve the poor, always numerous is a city celebrated for its charities, they were at once precipitated into the class of the indigent, and were numbered with those reduced to implore succour. This real and unexaggerated picture, which, as President of the General Commission of •Benevolence, I presume to lay before your Majesty, a'. the same time that, according to the commands contained in your royal order of the 22d of De cember, 1823, I lay at your Majesty's feet the general state ment of the accounts to the 31st of Deceraber, 1823, has no other object than that of supplicating your merciful considera tion in favour of our unhappy but virtuous people, who at the first view may appear slothful and idle, bat who, in reality, can be accused of nothing but misfortune, arising from a most rapid change in circumstances. Should your Majesty, on the representation of these too real and unvarnished facts, desiam to give them consideration, your Majesty will cease to be surprised how this population, once so flourishing from commerce and manufactures, should he at this day reduced to 100,000 souls, t of which barely one third part can be considered, I will not say affluent, but pos sessing a sufficiency—calculating that in this third part are included those individuals in your Majesty's service, or those enjoying pensions (both forming a principal branch of re source), while the remainder is reduced to the necessity of im ploring from the munificence of your :',lajesty, and from the charity of others, precarious means of subsistence. Far from describing to your Majesty with fallacious and ex aggerated expressions the daily decay of the population, I feel it my duty to submit to your Ma iesty, sitting daily as Pre sident of the General Com m i ss i on o'd Benevolence, and there by having the means of seeing closely, and in all their reality, the urgent and re a l W an t s o f the population, that indigence increases as rapidly as commercial activity diminishes, and that many of those meritorious individuals, originally contributors to, and supporters of, the above charitable institution, have been reduced to the necessity of imploring and receiving as sictance from it. Such, Sire, and so great is the want Of resources and of occu pation in this city, once so prosperous, that every day that the charitable society co-operates with the ministry of the police, (which has always displayed the greatest activity and desire to do good), nothing is heard but the lamentations of merchants fallen into extreme indigence—of mercantile captains com plaining of want of employment—of seamen, manufacturers, artists, and boatmen, dismissed by their employers, without knowing where to apply, or what employment to seek, to pro vide for the wants of their numerous families. If, in the midst of these afflictions, the General Commis sion has been able, in the space of the last seven years and a half, to extract from the few prosperous inhabitants a sum of 1,600,000 Austrian livres (about 55,0001. sterling) for the re lief of the indigent, (as your Majesty may observe from the accounts of the administration of the funds of this Society, without including other numerous and unavoidable contribu tions to support the orphan asylums and religious institutions, and to keep the churches in a state of repair), this is attribu table only tolhe naturally charitable character of the Venetian, who has always shewn himself more ready to restrain his own wants, than to deprive his unfortunate fellow-citizens of succe ur • But the inclination to do good, Sir, yields to the imperious necessity of circumstances ; and I should be wanting in justica to myself and to the duties imposed upon me by my office of President, if, after having tried every resource, and exhausted every mode of meeting the demand's on the institution (in creased of late by the applications of those persons, until lately employed in the printing and Chancery offices, lately abolish ed for the sake of retrenchment), I did not submit to the gra cious consideration of your Majesty, the urgent situation of our pious institutions, and the means of preserving it. The late Italian Government, in the decree of the 18th of June, 1807, vol. 1, article 26, page 312, declared the property of the religious societies to tie forfeited to the Board of Revenue, assigning at the same time an annuity on the Mont dc Piete, in compensation of the capital at that time remaining in the Mint and the Bank of Venice. This measure, whicli stripped the religious societies of their capitals, the united interest of which very touch exceeded the sum assigned, by a decree of the 7th of December, 1807, vol. 3, article 43, page 1197, published the system of spoliation still further, by assuming the right of superseding those testamen tary dispositions made anterior to the publication of the said decree where the parties have not established their claim, re serving to the Mont de Fide the exclusive privilege of assum ing the rights of the religious fraternities, for the purposes con templated by the first decree of the 28th of July, 1806, vol. 2, page 821. Nor did the operations of the Board of Revenue stop here ; for after carrying away the books and papers belonging to the religious fraternities, it possessed itself of much property, which, according to the strict interpretation of the law, they were not authorized to possess themselves of. The administration of the religious fraternities being after wards confided to the society, called the New Congregation of Charity, it did not possess the' means, or perhaps the ne cessary vigour to resist this spoliation, and to re-establish the rights of the fraternities, which were allowed to exist accord ing to their ancient regulations, even under the late Govern ment. In 1817, the claim on the part of the poor of St. Lucia (now the diltrict of St. Geremia) to an annuity of 918.97. (Austrian livres), left by an Albanese, named Dante, secured upon a paper-manufactory at Frenza, was recognized and admitted. The Voard of Revenue endeavoured to take this sum under its controul, but the General Commission of Benevolence opposed the attempt, on the ground of this sum being derived from the Papal States. The_Poard of Revenue was obliged to yield, and on a representation made to his Holiness of the right of the poor to this sum, the possession of it was fully confirmed to them by a Decree of Nov. 22, 1823. The poor of the religious fraternity of St. Cassan, in whose favour the interest of a capital standing in the books of the Mont de Picte was Inscribed after the death of the annuitant Astori, were not equally fortunate, for the Prefect of the Mont refused to accept the transfer of the annuity of 902. 30. (Aus trian livres), with the intentionof annulling the capital under the authority of the aforesaid article No. 43, although the title of the poor attached to the said fraternity was only made good after the death of the annuitant Astori, which occurred in 1822 and without the said capital having been included in the gene ral sequestration of 1807. The Board of Revenue has never given this fraternity any compensation. - Your Majesty will perceive from this statement, that it is in tended to deprive tire poor of the religious fraternities of this city of that property which has been bequeathed for their bene fit by certain pious and charitable individuals, under the pre tence that the original dispositions in their favour were made before the , decree of the 7th of December, 1807, although the right of possession did not come to them till long after they came under the religidus and pious guardianship of your Ma , jesty. I , or the relief of the wretched inhabitants of this city, and for the maintenance and support of the charitable institution upon. which devolves the duty of succouring so many indigent indi viduals, I invoke your Majesty's attention and clemency to the -.following objects :- Ist. That all capitals and annuities, arising from testamen tary dispositions, the claims to which have been verified since the decree of the Bth of December, 1807, and which have not been seized by the late Covernment up to the 20th of April, 1814, the day on which the late Government ceased to exist, as in the above cited cases of Dante and Astori, should he placed at the disposition of the respective religiods rateraities, as , in tended by the pious testators. 2. That as regards the compensations for the .property un jUstly.confisCated by the Board of Revenue under the late Go-' .vernment, and which was alienated by it during its existence, they may be considered as coming within the operation of the article No. 20, of the regulation of the 26th of June, 1822, made by the Diplomatic Commission at Milan: But for that portion which still exists under the controul of the Board of Revenue, represented'as legal seizure, that it may be restored in virtue of the dispatch of .the Aulic-Chamber, No. 32,612, addressed to the legate Tani, in favour of the poor of St. Ger vasio and St. Protasio. 3. That this restitution, in consequence of the books and papers of the religious fraternities having been seized, should be made through a commission or committee united to the ge neral commission of benevolence which represents the poor of all_the religious fraternities. This is what I supplicate from the justice of your Majesty, for the benefit of the indigent portion of this miserable popula tion, which asks nothing but the restitution of its own property, of Which it never could have been deprived but by the effect of the late political vicissitudes. Should it please your Majesty, by this concession, to en courage the pious labours of the Society over which I preside, aid which, by its indefatigable exertions and pecuniary &len fices, has repeatedly received your Majesty's approbation, and also to grant it some permanent succour, then I may not only be able courageously to re-animate its exertions, but also to.preit serve 11 those advantages which this provident Institution se cures to morality and religion. LADISLAUS PIJAKER, Patriarch, President. Venice, July 1, 1£125. BRUSSELS AND GERMAN PAPERS. [Received last Night.] SMY RNA, OCT. s.—(Frorn the Oriental Spectator.)—Yes terday the fete of the Emperor of Austria was celebrated with great pomp. The city continues to enjoy perfect tranquillity. The last tire broke out in the night of the 19th ult. at 11 o'clock, in the kitchen of a house inhabited by Moreote Turks, and the narrow streets of the upper city, where the house was situated, favoured the progress of the flames, the wind being high at the time. The sailors of the FrenCh squadron hastened to the spot with laudable zeal, but the violence of the wind, the remoteness of the spot to the locality itself, necessarily delayed the appli cation of means to check the conflagration, which rapidly spread in all directions. Above 2,000 Turkish, (reek, and Jewish houses were destroyed, and 10,000 persons rendered houseless. The Paella provided for them by disposing of them in various villages, and especially in the forsaken Greek houses. Perfect order prevailed during the tire, which lasted 14 hours. CONSTANTINOPLE, OcT. 10.—Baron Ottenfele, the Aus trian Internuncio, and General Guilleminot, the French Am bassador, have lately had frequent conferences with the Reis Effendi. The policy of France appears to be decidedly against the Greeks, and the conduct of the French agents all over the Levant • undoubtedly confirms this opinion. Meantime the two Ambassadors have, by their efthrts, obtained a new order from the Porte, by which every thing in the principalities of Moldavia and Wallachia is to be restored to the former status quo, the Berchli Agas to cease their functions, anti the last Turkish troops to be withdrawn. The order to this effect was made on the 4th, and it is believed that a Russian Ambassador will soon arrive here in clue • form.—(Allgeineine Zeitung, Nov. 6.) ALEXANDRIA, SEPT. 3.—As soon as the fleets of the Capi tan Pacha and Mehmet Ali are sufficiently stored with provi sions, they will take the troops on board, which are estimated at 12,000 infantry and cavalry. A Mameluke, who distin guished himself in the French service, will, it is said, command them. General Livron has arrived he brought cannon, &c. ordered by the Viceroy. It is said that he will be soon fol lowed by several officers of artillery and engineers. VIENNA, OCT. 31.—The latest accounts from Presburg, respecting the health of the Emperor, are quite satisfactory. The fever entirely ceased the day before yesterday, being the eighth day, and yesterday, the ninth day since the commence ment of the indisposition, his Majesty was perfectly conva lescent. FR INRFOR T, OCT. 7.—A union of men of letters, said to be placed under very powerful influence, excites at present general attention in Germany. The object of the association aprears to be gradually to prepare people's minds witty those the on-atic ideas which disturb at this present moment the western pa. t of Europe. BRUSSELS, Nov. 9.—The number of children subscribed for the scl oils for the poor at Liege, is already 871, which is a much greater number than that of the pupils in the same schools directed by the brethren de la doctrine Chretiene. There are at present 611 students in the University of Louvain, and 167 in the Philosophical College. THE ARMY.

PORTSMOUTH, Nov. 1.i.,•.-Yesterday morning the South worth and Layton transports, with the remainder of the 99th Regiment, and all the outward-bound merchantmen, (about 30 sail), which had been detained the last fortnight by strong westerly gales, proceeded on their respective voyages, with a steady wind from the N.N.E., except the Exmouth, Captain Owen, for Bombay, which ship will sail to-morrow morning, with General Sir Thomas( and Lady Bradford, and suite. The Rainbow, 21, Captain lion. Henry J. Rouse, arrived this morning from Chatham, fitted for the East India station.

The Harlequin and-Pandora are fitted alike, as to the position of their masts and sails, and the Victor anti Dispatch alike, but different froC the two former. The Harlequin and Pandora have proved the superior vessels in sailing ; and of these the Harlequin is the best. The trials have been confined to sailing on a wind; no trial having taken place off, or before the wind.— ( Hampshire Telegraph.) LONDON AND MANCHESTER EQUITABLE LOAN CUMPANY. On Saturday a Meeting of the Subscribers to Ibis Company assembled at the North and South American Coffee-house, behind the Royal Exchange, for the purpose of determining upon future proceedings. Davin POLLOCK, Esq. the barrister, one of the Directors, was called to the Chair. He said he believed the object of call ing the meeting was, that the present position of the Company might be ascertained, and that it might be determined whether the appearances of success would justify the application of the funds to the purpose of obtaining a Charter, or whether it would be advisable to proceed in the operations of the Company with out a Charter. A Shareholder.—There is another question for our considera tion"—the propriety of breaking up the Company altogether._ (Hear !) Mra KAY - p, Solicitor to the Company, stated, that ever since the Lord Chancellor had delivered his opinion on the subject of Joint Stock Companies, it was thought necessary to wait the result of the Bill brought into Parliament for the establishment of an Equitable Loan Company in the metropolis. There existed a strong prejudice against the latter; but the moment it was shewn to those who oljected to it that there was an inhe rent discrepancy between the Manchester till and the London Bill, they became its warmest supporters. The object i of the Company was to raise money to lend upon Manchester goods, and that such loans would prevent the destruction of many of the mall manufacturers, who often, when they wanted money, were obliged to make a ruinous sacrifice of their property. The CIJAIRMAN thought it would he imprudent, after such ' heavy expences as had been already incurred, to proceed with • the objects of the company, with so small a capital as 2,000/., the whole amount in the hands of the bankers. Considerably less than that sum would suffice in procuring the necessary security alluded to ; they had strong assurances of success. The expences incurred were indispensable. Independently of those arising from law proceedings, the purchase of a ware house, and the employment of a superintendent, were necessary to shew an existence, and a right to sue and be sued, otherwise there could have been nothing to testify their responsibility, hut parole, which was not exactly the sort of security to be wished for in a large body of Proprietors ; 6,0001. had been subscribed, and 4,0001. spent.—(Cries of " Shame ! shame.!") Mr. KAYE said, that every one knew the enormousexpetices attending an application to Parliament; 4,0001. has been spent, but the greater part of that had been expended before he was appointed solicitor. A Subscriber—Yes, Mr; Bennett, of Manchester, took care of us. He kindly undertook the business, and his bill amounted to no less than 2,300/.—(Cries of " Abominable.") Mr. KAYE said, that immense expences were necessarily incurred by bringing up witnesses from Manchester, and sup porting them here. He argued strongly in favour of obtaining a charter. But the subscribers turned their backs upon the proposal. They declared that every thing ran to a discount : that the mis managernemt and dishonesty of those who had the direction of most of the companies threw a depression upon the money market, from which it could never recover : that the more mony there was paid upon shares, the more deeply they would run to a discount. A Subscriber—The Time: newspapyr has bothered 'em all. It is better that all the humbug things should be put an end to at once, even though a few good ones are swept away at the same time. " The Colonial Silk Company" is a proof of the general dread of imposition. The highest names in the country could not prevent that from falling to a discount the moment it saw the light. The subscribers generally bore testimony, in the course of the discussion, to the praiieworthy conduct of Mr. Kaye. One of then' said, amidst cheers, " I move that the Com pany be dissolved, and that the Directors be instructed to make an equitable division of what remains in hand." Mr. KAYE here begged to state, that they could not, by a clause in the deed of settlement, dissolve the Company without the consent of two meeting of the proprietors, to be held at the distance of six months from each other. The clause was read, and seemed to throw a great damper upon the meeting, but The CitiLliMAN said he considered the authority of the clause nothing in the present condition of the company, which had not as yet commenced operations.—(Applause.) The question was then put, and it was determined, almost without a single exception, to dissolve the company. A motion was then carried to instruct the directors as to the payment of all claims, and the subsequent speedy arrangement with the subscribers.—The meeting then separated. THE COTTON TRADE.—We are sorry to an nounce that the present stagnation in the cotton trade is extend ing its effects to other branches of business connected with it. One of the most extensive machine makers in this town has been under the necessity of discharging a number of his work men, and the example must be followed by others, unless a speedy change take place in the trade, of which there* at pre sent no liklihood.—(Stockport Advertiser.) ACCIDENT IN PICCADILLY.-This morning, be tween five and six, a distressing accident happened through the denseness of the fog in Piccadilly. One of the market carts from Windsor was passing along near Hyde Park Corner, the carter holding the leading horse by the head, when suddenly another cart, going in a contrary direction, came in contact with the wheels of the market cart and upset, precipitating 'a woman and child to the ground; the child was taken up life less, the skull being fractured ; and the woman, in addition to severe bodily bruises, had her left thigh broken b 7 the fall.
