FRENCH PAPERS. ( From the Etoile, dated Tuesday.] VIENNA, JAN. 8. The Austrian Observer of this date contains the ioliowing article : COnsta raiittopk, 11th an&l4th Dec. When the Councillor of State, 31inziacky, received certain - information of the total evacuation of Moldavia, he declared his - intention df assuming his character of Charge d'Affaitv of Rwsia. In cen.egnence, the Reis Effendi-invited him to a veriference on the 11th, in which this Envoy delivered his cre dentials to him. On the 7th the Di tan held an Extraordinary Council, the result of which was great changes in the administration of the rtimy • The government of Romania, and the command of the land iOlOll, are given to Mehemet Redschib, late Pacha of Wid'din. Omer Vrione, late Pacha of Joannina, is named Governor of Salonichi. Other nominations in Epirus and Albania give reason to b a better order of things in those countries. The following details of the operations of the Egyptian fleet stay be considered as authentic This fleet sailed, in fact, from Boudroun on the Bth Novem ber, and appeared on the 10th in the Candian Sea, where a theek fleet of forty sail was waiting for it, An attack by fire ships took place the same day, but without success. On the 12th the two fleets were in sight of each other, but the variable winds did not permit them to nianceuvre. On the 13th four Greek vessels or fire-ships pursued, during the whole day, an Egyptian frigate, which escaped, after having 'ad some sails burnt. On the 14th the tempest became so violent, that each vessel, *ft to itself, took its own course. In this confusion the Egyp tians lost five transports, commanded by Europeans, which fell to the power of the Greeks. The Greeks had already taken, in the night of the 9th, a Spanish vessel belonging to the Egyptian expedition. Twelve Egyptian vessels took refuge during the tempest in t:•41 port of Spina Longa, to the east of Candle. The remain_ der retired to the Bay of Marmarissa. It is affirmed that orders have been dispatched to Ibrahim Pacha to go and join his division in Candia, as soon as the wind and sea will permit him, and to undertake, on the first opportunity, a landing in the Mores. The plague, notwithstanding the winter season, continues its ravages in different quarters of Constantinople. The whole Persian Legation has been carried off."

The report is this day spread that the .King of Spain, yielding at length to the system establish ed on the continent, has consented to form a Mi nistry, at the head of which will be placed M. Zea Bermudez : we may then expect a more wise and moderate system of Government. We 'hear -- from Spain that some crisis is near. - The Memorial Bordelais also announces, >that the activity which for the last few days is exhi bited at the telegraph at Bayonne, proves Madrid to be at this moment the theatre of some import ant event*. If the chnnze alluded to has taken place in the Spanish Ministry, we many ,presume • that the resolution of the English Cabinet re specting South America has had no inconsider— able share in causing the event.

THE FIFTH OF NOVEMBER. Mit. EDlTOlt—f 14 thP Chronicle of Wednesday, Jan. 19, is the following paragraph : _ _ _ " At some of the villages hi Sussex the inha . Wants have agreed to abolish the old GUY FAUX FESTIVAL on the sth of November, as being a " Great Gunpowder Lie, and tending to asperse falsely the character of Catholics. The children are to be kept closely to school on the sth Nov., _and to have a holiday on the King's Birth-day - instead." In answer to this ; I have to say, that, although livingin the heart of Sussex, and travelling about -the county, I have heard of nothing of the kind, -and, en the contrary, know that in many villages -the inhabitants son..cribed a certain quantity of faggots, to keep up, with unabated spirit, • this memorable , day and festival in the last year, . and, it is the intention of most of them, this -year to continue the celebration with renewed vigour. To show that the above paragraph is a falsehood, it is only needful to state, that the urajority of the village schools, of which, too, there are not many in number, are Day or Sun day Schools, and, consequently, the chiLdren cannot be confined to them in the evenings of the .sth of November. had not seen the above,pa . ragraph, had not theLhronicle been forwarded to m? purposely with that In it, as there ar e one or two other papers I should read before that. paper.

By the Leeward•lsland Mail we•have received Barbadoes Papers to the 7th of December, by which it appears that there have been severe inundations in that part of the world. The fol lowing are extracts : (From the Globe qf Dee. 6.) The unusually heavy rains which have fallen for three or four days past, although of essential service to the crops throughout the island generally, have been very injurious to some of the estates in the parishes of St. Joseph and St. An drew. The rain commended on Thursday morning, and con tinued during that night without intermission, accompanied by heavy thunder and lightning, and on the following day the ground in the rear of die buildings, on the estate of W. Hall , Esq., of the parish of St. Andrew, gave way, nearly carried away the boiling house and mill, and has done considerable damage otherwise to the property. The road from Bissecks Hill to Sugar Hill has been rendered nearly impassable, and some cattle in different parts of the island have either been car ried off by the deluge, or killed by the lightning. We much fear the accounts from the above parishes generally when col lected will be rather of an unpleasant nature. (Pram the same Paper of Der. 2.) • On Tuesday last the House of Assembly met pursuant to adjournment, when, in consequence of a motion from Mr. Hinds, at its last meeting, the Editor of this Paper was cited before it for some remarks contained on the Globe Paper of the 11th Oct. ; and which the House received with " disgust," and deemed libellous and scandalous. ( From the St. Christopher Advertiser of Dec 7.) I The Assembly Elections have been continued since our last, and Thursday next, we understand, is the day appointed for the meeting of the House. Barbadoes Papers have for some time mentioned the fre quent recurrence of nocturnal riots and disturbances in the -town of Bridgetown ; and, by the following Proclamation of Sir Henry Warde, it will be seen, that another flagitious out rage has been very recently committed : " Whereas, the peace and tranquillity of Bridgetown hare of late been greatly disturbed by certain evil-disposed persons, who hare, with lawless audacity, assailed the persons and de stroyed the properties of the peaceable inhabitants of Bridge town, and have committed acts of violence which tend to de stroy the best institutions of society, to bring the administration of justice into contempt, and to strip it of that reverence which every good subject is interested in preserving : And whereas, the said disturbers of the public peace, encouraged by impu nity, did, on the night of the 13th instant, pull down and de stroy a scale beam and house, belonging to his Majesty, lately erected on the public wharf for the purpose of weighing sugars : And whereas, it is highly expedient, for the preservation of property anti the maintenance of good order, that such mis chievous offenders, who- disquiet and disgrace the country, should be made examples of public justice, and should suffer punishment adequate to their guilt— " A Reward of One Hundred Pounds, current money of this Island, is hereby offered to any person or persona who shall give evidence against, and prosecute to conviction, at the Court of Grand Sessions, any offender or offenders who have been guilty of pulling.down and destroying the House and Scale-beam, or of aiding and abetting therein.' —(Dated NOV. 18, 1824.) NOTICE !—The Printer, Editor, and Proprietor of the Do minica Chronicle, William F. Stewart, presents his humble respects to his various Friends and kind • Subscribers, and begs to apologise for not printing this week's paper, being confined since Tuesday, the 6th instant, by a Warrant from the Speaker of the House of Assembly, in the common and God knows -wretched gaol of ltoseau (which is in such ii" miserable state as to be totally unfit to contain any human creature, the roof being absolutely like a sive, th e p r i soners are exposed to every.shower of rain and the inclemency of the weather). NoTerson; is allowed to visit him, and he is pre .vented from communicating with hi s own workmen belonging to his printing-office, so as to enable him to carry on his busi ness. The cause of, his incarceration will be fully laid before .the public in a short time. Nearly twelve years- has he con ducted the Chronicle, and little expected such treatment from the Representatives of the people, whose interests he has always studied to promote, through the medium of his Paper. He is a British subject, and trusts that those laws, which he has ever respected and admired, will hereafter render him justice. —As he -.owes nothing but what he can pay, he hopes this total impediment to carrying on his business will have no ill effect on his credit. To kis character he is consoled to say—impri sonment under present circumstances is no stain ! Common Jail,..Roseau, Nov. 24, 1824. The following is ,a copy of the Address of the Committee of the House of Assembly of Jamaica, to his Excellency the Go vernor : " May it please your Grace—We are desired by the House .to wait on your Grace, to inform you that they have taken into their consideration your Grace's Message of the -tali instant, together with the copy of hia Majesty's Order in Council fir improving the condition of the slaves in Trinidad, which accompanied the said Message. The !louse consider the present season of alarm and agitation, when the negro mind is peculiarly liable to false impres sions, unfavourably fir the adoption of any measure inter .fering with long-established institutions, and therefore can not but regret that those motives of prudence whi c h influenced the British Government in delay ing to carry the Order in Council into execution at Demarara, should not have restrained it from pressing the immediate consideration of this subject on one of the oldest and most valuable possessions of the British Crown, under circumstances infinitely more critical than those which apply to that conquered colony. The House, however, assure your Grace, that they will, notwithstanding, continue to bestow their most serious consideration on all subjects connect ed with the welfare of the slave population in this island, and will embrace every favourable opportunity to make such enact rants as may be deemed prudent and advisable." AMERICAN PAPERS. ( From the New York Commercial Advertiser of Dec. 24.) CONGRESS.-1N SENATE. On Monday, 111 r. HAYNE, from- the C omm i t t ee to w h om was referred the subject of making provision for General La Fayette, reported the following Bill : " Be it enacted, &c. That the sum of Two Hundred Thou sand Dollars be, and the same is hereby, granted to Major_ General La Fayette, in compensation for his important services and expenditures during the AMerican Revolution, and that, for this purpose, a stock to that amount he issued in his fa vour dated the 4th of Jnly, 1824, b ear i ng an annua l i nterest of Six per Cent., payable quarterly, and redeemable o n th e 3ist December, 834. " Sec. 2. And be it further enacted, That one complete and entire Township of land he, and the same is hereby, granted to the said Major-General La Fayette, and that the President of the United States be authorised to cause the said Township to be located, on any of the public lands which remain unsold, and that Patents be issued to Gen. La Fayette for the same.-" The Bill was twice read, by geniTal consent, and Mr. Rayne gave notice that he should move its third reading to-morrow. A Resolution was offered by Mr. Whipple, of N. H. that the President of the United States be requested to communi cate to this House any information which he may possess, and which, in his opinion, it may not be improper to make public, relative to the intentions of the Allied Powers of Europe to aid Spain in the subjugation and recovery of her former Colonies in America. CO LOMB! A RIVER. The House went into Committee on the Bill for the occupa tion of the Colombia, or Oregon River. Mr. FLO VD, of Va., in advocating the Bill, said that only one intermediate post was necessary to he established at the Ilan Oan Villages. H e alluded to the fur trade, and the advantages which the British merchants possessed over those of America, because they made direct shipments to the Colombia river, and obtain supplies in an equally direct manner. The Colombia river is so situated, that there can be no danger of any separation from the United States ; because, by such an act, its popula tion would be exposed to the greatest danger from the Russian Government, as well as from the vast empire growing up in Mexico. The country lie described as healthy, and though much further north than the spot where we now are, it was known to be equally mild. During all the European wars, it.was notorious that Great Britain always had her manufac tures peaceably going on ; and Buonaparte had acknowledged, that in all his schemes against Great Britain he had been uni formly foiled. Now, if we had the command of this great river, it would give us equal strength. After the occupation of this -river, no nation of the earth could come in competition with us in that quarter. It is, therefore, the most secure point for us. 1 Russia is too much engaged in her European politics. China will not interfere. Britain will find herself too weak. Mexico, Peru, and Chili, have not the timber. We should have, also, a port of refuge for our ships; and if, by commanding the pro duce of the interior, the ginseng and the fur, we could contri bute, from the Oregon, these products through the world, our. situation would be , most advantageous. He read from several papers a statement of our trade with Canton, giving the num ber of vessels annually employed, and the value of the trade, particularizing the different articles of merchandize, and sliew mg the relative value in which they stood to each other. From these data he argued that the trade with China was of the highest importance, not only with respect to the actual value of the exports and imports, but in consequence, also, of the em ployment which it gives to a great number of American citi zens, and its creation of the best sailors which manned our navy. By the fur trade, we not only controul the power of Ru►sia and England, but give employment to several thousand seamen. lie went on to spew that the river and country were rich in the means of subsistence. Salmon was abundant, and the means of life were ample. The intercourse was also easy : waggons go frequently from Franklin to Missouri, and many other parts. Mr. Farnham and Mr. Crooks, who are em ployed by J. .1. Astor, represent the travelling from this country as freed from those difficulties which had been re presented as so terrible and insuperable; and were ready to invest large sums in merchandize, whenever the territory should be occupied. For this purpose the sum now asked for would be sufficient. He had information from a gentleman who had travelled from Franklin to the mouth of Colombia river in fifty days, and had done t:iis frequently; that civili zation had penetrated to the Rio Colorado, and Rio del Norte, and the cast of California, where flocks and herds, and all the benefits of civilization, were to be found. He next proceeded *to show the facility of transportation by water to Mexico, to Pensacola, the Gnlph of Panama, &c. He referred to the statements of an Honourable Member from New York, at the last Congress, that England would also send her merchandize to New York, and by the Assinibria river to Colombia, and thence by ferries to Canton ; and althou:rh lie did not go exactly with that gentleman to the full extent of his speculation, he thought it deserved consideration. He then stated the market prices of the furs which were to be found in that district of country. .Witk regard to the military occupation of the coon. try, he thought more was to be done by a judicious arrange ment of posts, than by numerical power. He remarked upon the judicious regulations by which Great Britain keeps the European Powers in check, by having her force so distributed as to guard every part where her commercial interests could possibly be endangered or attacked. The opinions which had prevailed as to the impossibility of navigating the Missouri, in consequence of the sand bars, had now been exploded. He had authority (as we understood him) from General .Jesup, the Quarter-Master-General, to say, that a boat could now ascend this river, not only without danger, but without difficulty ; and concluded with expressing his desire that an experiment, which promised so much benefit to the country, should now be tried. /qr. POINSETT moved an Amendment to the second section leaving it discretionary with the President to strike out Co lombia river, and insert any other place where the establish ment of a post might appear to him to be mere expedient. In introducing his amendment, he stated that he considered a survey necessary, in order to arrive at some correct opinion on the subject, as he had, from every information which it had been in his power to obtain, come to conclusions entirely dif ferent from those entertain e d by the Gentleman from Virginia. Ile might be wrong, and the Gentleman from Virginia might be right, but this could only be determined on better confirma tion than the reports of traders. The Committee then rose, and reported the Bill with its Amendments. Mr. CooK suggested that the Bill should he committed to the Committee on that part of the President's Message which referred to the subject, as then the House would be enabled to take a proper and broad view of the subject. Mr. FLo I'D objected. It was not his wish to have this an exclusively military post ; he desired that the American citizen should be able to have some protection front his Government independent of a military defence. Mr. Cool( thought the present Bill went to delude citizens by the offer of large grants of lands to this distant country, be fore any prpper information as to the situation and means of the country to support its population. He wished that people should not be deceived, but that information should he first obtained, and for this purpose that engineers should be em ployed to - make an accurate topographical survey of the coun try. It was with this view that he wished the reference of the Bill to the Committee on that part of the Presidents Message which related to it. He moved to discharge the Committee from the further consideration of the bill, and to refer it to the Committee which he had named. Mr. Trrr arnl.E thought though the objects of the gentleman who had last spoke, might be obtained, by striking out all that part of the bill which went to establish a Civil Government.— He took a view of the state of this part of the country when the Treaty of Ghent was negociated, at which time it was in the possession of England ; and he thought that to refrain from passing some bill Upon the subject of its occupation, would be to leave it open to future disputes, as to which country should have the right to occupy it. He hoped the bill would not be recounnitted, as the object would be obtained by striking out that part of the bill which established a Civil Government. The question of Mr. Cook was then put and negatived, and t he House adjourned. (From the Tfrashiv'ton Gazette of the 18th Dee.) SOUTH A ME RICA. —Caracas Papers of the 24th ult. contain a detailed account of a dinner giv2n at Mr. Forsyth's on the 19th October, by the American citizens, in honour of the ar rival of Gen. La Fayette in the United States, which was at tended by a number of distinguished guests. A letter from Bogota, of the - 7th October, published in the Colombiano, states, that two vessels of war and a transport filled with mu nitions of war, had been captured by the Patriots in front of Callao, and confirms former accounts that that pl ace a nd Lima had been abandoned by the Spanish troops. St.' Martha Papers of the Ist Nov. received at Boston, mention the arrival of Bolivar at Huangaco on the 31st Aug. with the first divi sion of the patriot army, and that Canterac, with the remnant of his army, from which there were daily dissertions of great numbers, was returning towards Cuzco. Gen. Lafuente, Col. Perez an other officers left Truxillo, Sept. I, for Lima. Uanne was appointed to the civil command of the capital. Official documents were published towards the end of Oct., with a prefatory address from the President Buyer, in which the inflexible resolution of resisting all attempts upon the indepen dence of this island is very strongly expressed. fie states that the most pressing instances were repeatedly made to him by the French Government to send Commissioners to negotiate ; that the first mission that he dispatched was frustrated by chi cane on'the part of the French Ministry ; and that the last mis carried "by an-incomprehensible fatality which always diverts the French Cabinet from that adjustment which it appears al ways so desirousli) effect ; by a te7 l givertation, which does not allow it, at the moment of concluding, to sanction propositions already admitted 1 -or whiclicauses it to renew pretentious which it had abandoned." The scheme of the French Government appears to have been one of espionage and delusion. (From the Baltimore Patriot of Dec. 21.) In addition to the stews from La Guayra ' published in the Patriot on Saturday, the Gazelle has learned from a Gentleman who came home in.the Aliceanna, that the authorities at La Guayra and Caracas refused to give the satisfaction de manded by the .eaption of the French brig of war, and that he had sailed froni La Guayra, declaring that he would bring a fleet to enforee - the demand. The Colombian Authorities al leged" that - CatotitinChitty had made a sufficient apology when he said to the . Captain of .the " Gezelle"—` now that I see who you are,. I regret having subjected you to this in convenience." VaLPARAISO..-The following extracts of letters from Val paraiso are interesting to commercial men (From the Now York American.) Messes. EDITORS—If you think the following extracts of letters from Valparaiso and the interior of Chili suf f iciently , interesting for publication, they are at your service. The lat ter satisfactorily accounts for the vent of American flour in the Pacific. Formerly Chili supplied Lima (the only market) with an immense quantity of wheat, at a very low rate. I have seen that article sold in Valparaiso at 94 cents per fanega, of 1401b5., after being brought on mules from 30 to 40 leagues distance. Yours, &c. &c. " Valparaiso, 24th August, 1824. " You can scarce form an idea of the state of business on this whole coast. Markets glutted with almost every thing, and no probability of selling, except for promises, which are never intended to be fulfilled. OF more than forty thousand dollars, which are still outstanding here, I have not for the last four months collected 1,000. I went about two months since to St. J3'T ' O, in order to collect a b ou t 25,000 dollars due there, and was obliged to borrow money to pay my expenses while I was there. " As respects the political state of things, we have changes enough, but not all improvements. We have had two or three quiet revolutiwu, the last of which was effected the other day in St. Jago 'by a few dozen people calling themselves Liberals, by which they upset the Senate and the Constitution, and made -Freyre Absolute Director for 3 months, to be responsible to the [those] soverei,gn people for hi s ac tions , and at the expira tion of that time, he might call another Congress to make ano ther constitution, if he pleased. " Blanco is appointed Admiral again of the, squadron, and his band of music (which is the only thing) is in perfect readi ness for sea. Wooster is among the outs, where I think he had better remain ; but i believe that is not his opinion." 7 3 MECHANICS' INSTITUTION. Last night Dr. BIREBECK, the worthy Presi dent of the above Institution, delivered to a crowded audience his promised Lecture on the Theory of the Winds. The Learned Gentleman divided them into three classes, viz.:---The Perennial,. Periodical, •and Variable ; the first blowing con stantly in an opposite direction to the motion of the earth, and including the whole space between the tropics of Cancer and Capricorn, with the exception of a certain portion of the Indian seas, which are subject to the action of the se cond class of winds, blowing from the North-west and South east in regular succession. The above subjects were illustrated most admirably by diagrams and convincing experiments. The third class, or VariablelVinds, he also dilated largely upon ; and concluded by stating it to be his opinion, that although at present these phenomena were considered as arising from fortuitous circumstances, he had no doubt but that in the course of time (although he would not venture to limit the period) we should by strict attention to, and accurate registry of each event as it occurred, find that they were not in fact variable, but fixed and determined by the same Divine and governing Intelligence, which riding upon the winds said to the waters—" Thus far proud wave ahalt thou go, and no farther ;" and that we should he as capable of ascertaining and predetermining the successive changes which would occur as we are of any mathematical fact: and like the poor Indian alluded to by Pope-- " See God in clouds and hear ifini in the wind." After the Lecture, Dr. IliaknEcx read to the audience the following Correspondence between Sir FRANCIS BunDETT, and Mr. PLACE, of Charing-cross : (Corir.) " Kirby, Jan. 18, 1825. " DEAR SIR—On my return home from a hunting excur sion, I found your last, giving me all the information respect ing the Mechanics' Institution necessary, and 311 the advice in your power; for -both, my thanks. As, however, it amounts to little, I must take my own way. " The Institution I consider as holding out the prospect of the greatest benefit to the people—the working people—of any that has been hit upon up to this time. I have it, therefore, much at heart; put me down for a thousand pounds. " In haste, yours, very sincerely, " F. BURDETT. " Mr. Place, Charing-cross, London." It is quite impossible to describe the enthusiasm which this cowmanication excited; the cheering lasted some minutes.

SHIP CANAL. Ma. EDlTOR—Having seen in the Sherborne Mercury of Monday last that a Meeting had been held at Axminster, of Land-owners and others, for the purpose of taking into consideration this Canal, I was induced, in passing through the town, to inquire what number attended, and, to my great surprise, learnt that the worthy Chair man and two or three others were the only Land owners on the line, and that he and a Solicitor in London had either purchased, or contracted for their purchase, long since the measure was before the Public. The others that attended might amount to about half a score, and two of those cubit and coal merchants, who admit that their trade would be thrown open, if this measure were car ried. I could not ascertain who the other angry Gentleman were, except the Worthy Knight who moved the thanks, and who, living near Lyme, must, I conceive, not be underany great apprehen sions of this wild and visionary scheme being so great a nuisance to him. Rut, Mr. Editor, can it be supposed that a hundred such meetings as this can possibly do any injury to the concern ? or that the Land-owners or Merchants of the United Empire, with their overflowing subscriptions, are thus to be duped, convinced as they are of the benefit that will arise to the trade of the country, and of its great national importance ? Crewkerne, Jan. 18. A WELLWISHER. TO THE EDITOR. SIR-Certain insinuations which have lately appeared in some of the newspapers, with refe rence to a recent correspondence between Col. BERKELEY and Mr. CLAGGET, induce me to state, that I was the person selected by Col. BERKELEY to act for him on the occasion ; that the letter then written by him was advised and sanction ed by me ; and that, in the line of conduct I adopted, I had the satisfaction of meeting with the concurrence of Colonel O'MALLEY, the mutual friend of Colonel BEnKEr.rir and myself, who happened to be on a visit at Berkeley Castle at the time.

A few days since, the Royal York Lodge of Free and Ac cepted Masons dined together in their Lodge hall, St..lam:,' street, Brighton, and were in the enjoyment of uninterrupted sociability for several hours. The dinner and wines, Whie.ii were sumptuous and excellent, were provided by Brother Elm', of the Tierney Arms : about 40 persons, attached to the partook of the entertainment, besides visitors, some from 0:e Grand Steward's Lodge, anti others from Boston, in A nietiets. " The King," as the Grand Patron of the Order, was the tirst toast, four times four followed, with Masonic honours and cere monies, and with which enthusiasm was in very close alliance. Glee, " The King and the Church."—" The immediate Pre tector and Patron of the Lodge, the Commander-in-Chief," was the next toast, which again set the table in a roar.
