The ceremony was performed by M. Steinde, Bishop of Antinopolis, and Vicar General. The Empress stood God-mother, and gave the young Princess the name of Maria Caroline Christina. _ _ The Hungarian crown and regalia, which are preserved in the castle of Pest, were removed on the 7th, and sent in sealed boxes .to Presburg, where they were to arrive ou the 9th. The car riage in which they were conveyed was accompa nied by several Officers of the Crown, and es corted from stage. to stage by the Nobility of the countries, on horseback, from Pest to Presburg. The Prince of Hesse-flomburg arrived here on the- 9th, from Naples. FRENCH PAPERS. ( Front the Einik, dated Sunday, Sept. 24.) ST. ILDEFONSO, SEPT. 12. Since the return of the General Count d'Espagne to Madrid, he and the officers who accompanied him, arc eagerly question ed respecting the details of the last moments of Bessieree and his companions. Bessiers and the 7 officers who were shot with him died with the greatest fortitude. He did not make any disclosures. Two other officers who were taken with Bessieres have been pardoned, upon the declaration of Gomez, that he induced them to afeompany him without acquainting them with. is designs. Tlie soldiers have been sent to Madrid. At Sequenza, the Counts'Espagne had a remarkable con versation with some person; who were pointed out as belong ing to the party Of Bessieres : "We have felt much (said they) for what so sensible a heart as yours must have suffered in car rying into execution orders which were doubtless just, but very rigorous." " Yes, (answered the General), hut at that mo ment I was thinking of the officers of Charles the Fifth, who had orders to put to death the Bishop of Zamora, for the con spiracy of the Communes, and I congratulate myself that I had to have a soldier .shot instead of a Bishop." The troubles which had been proposed in the provinces for the moment when the conspiracy of Bessieres should break out, have been promptly suppressed, and most of the projects conceived have been defeated before they had. manifested themselves by open rebellion ; but at Tortosa, things went further.— il'he Chief of the conspiracy was a Catalonian named Wach, commanding a battalion in garrison in that city. By an insur rection of the inhabitants of the country, and part of the popu iation of Tortosa, it was intended to depose the Governor, to seize the Citadel, to fall upon the Negroes, and t 0 pillage the - houses. The Captain who commanded the fort, having caused the bridge to be drawn np instead of favouring the projects of the conspirators, their accomplices in the city did not venture j to make any attempt, and the country people, who were already arriving at the gates, thought it the most prudent to retire.— "Then Wach, with two other officers, fled, and in the evening two battalions sent by the Marquis de Campo Lagrado, inscon sequence of previous infOrmation, entered Tortosa. The cele brated Bishop Victor Saez oKred to the Municipality, which had an extraordinary meeting; money and every kind of as sistance which could contribute to preserve order A junta was next composed of the Bishop, Canons, Monks, and public officers, but it was dissolved soon after by superior orders. The Chevalier Anduago, brother-in-law to, M. /ea, has heen enjoined to proceed' immediately to Barcelona, there to • wait for further orders. PARIS, SEPT. 23. Prince William of Brunswick arrived at Paris yesterday.— 'Lord and Lady Holland, with a numerous suite, have arrived in this city, and have put up at Meurice's Hotel. The three Deputies for St. Domingo, and M. de 3lackau, are expected at Parit to-day. - Last flight Madame honoured with her presence the first re presentation of Il Crociato in Egitto, at the Theatre Italien, which obtained the most brillian success. The Augzburg Gazette, of the 19th, has the following news from Constantinople, dated Aug. 22, by way of Bucharest : " Accounts received from Smyrna, dated Aug. 18, if credit can be attached to them, are not a little important. Ibrahim Pacha, after being joined by the corps brought him by Hussein Bev, undertook a second expedition against Napoli de Romania, and had already arrived before the walls of that fortress. On his approach the Greeks, wbo were in a most critical situation, de clared by a formal act, and, as is generallybelieved have, at the instigation of Commodore Hamilton, that they implored the pro tection of England. Ibrahim Pacha, disconcerted by this event, applied to Commodore Hamilton for an explanation ; but in stead of any answer being given him, the Greeks, impelled by despair, made an unexpected attack on the Arabs, who were al ready dispirited. After several partial but sanguinary combats , Ibrahim - Paella hastily retreated to Tripollizza. This news. and the reverses at Missolonghi, have produced a very great sensation here." (From the Courier Francais.) PARIS, SEPT. 23,--The great importance of the events in the East will no longer allow our Ministers to regard them with indiffeience. The Greeks have implored the aid of England, and are now going to seed Deputies to that country. The son of hliaulis is to proceed on that miOon. At the same time the report is confirmed of an American squadron being in the Ar chipelar, and it appears that these new allies have already establisned themselves in one pf the islands of the Archipe lago. France would have done well to have preceded the others in this career, and she would then have avoided many diffictilties. Though the Alinisters have scouted the ad vice of the liberal part of the opposition, in fact they are now obliged to follow it, but tlfey are too late; and though the self _ loye or the 3linistets may have been satisfied, France has been sacrificed.. • PREI.ICII FtINDS.—PARIS, SEPT..23.—Five per Cents. opened at 81/I`. 25c. ; closed at 99f. 30c.—Three per Cents. opened at 71f. 30c:: closed' at 71f. 25c.—Bank Stock, 2,152 f. 50c.—Rente de Naples 86f. 15c.—Rente de Espagne, 16if.- -.Exchange on London, one month, 25f. 20c. ; three months, :224f. 95c.—(Cours Authentique.) GERMAN PAPERS. [Received last Nig.:ht.l CONSTANTINOPLE, AUG. 22.—The Porte has received very alarming news from the Archipelago, which, being most inti mately connected with the affairs of Greece, may have more serious political consequences than was at first believed. The Government at Napoli has, in its despair, applied for English protection, and sent Deputies to implore the King of Great Bri tain to give them succour. As Commodore Hamilton, who is at anchor befol Napoli di Ramana, has several •times openly taken the part of the Greeks, the intelligence has excited a sen sation here that it would be difficult to describe. This was still more increased by the information which was received at the same time, that the North American squadron, so long an nounced by the Greeks, has arrived off Hydra, and has taken possession of the island of Porros (?), situated opposite to Hy dra. The Divan has since had several extraordinary Sittings, and the consternation that has been excited is evident. The French Ambassador, Count Guilleminot, and the Russian Charge d'Affaires, M. Minziacky, sent expresses to their Courts. At Missolonghi the Turks have been defeated both by sea and land. TRIESTE, SEPT. 10.-A ship which sailed from Syra, on the 18th of August, confirms the re-taking of Calamata by a detachment of Mainotee, under Pietro Bey, as well as the en tire reconciliation of the Mainotes with the Central Govern ment at Napoli. Ibrahim Pacha made a second advance to wards Di Romania, but things had already taken a decisive turn there by the declaration of the Executive Power, that it would place itself under the protection of England. This ex traordinary step, in consequence .of which the younger Miauli was dispatched as deputy to Lomfen, had inspired the Greeks with fresh courage. They attacked the Arabs under the walls of Napoli, and drove them back to Tripolizza, with the loss of 1,600 men. It was -reported in Syra that Ibrahim Pacha had since retreated on Navarin, but this latter circumstanc seems to require further confirmation. Admiral Sachtury was preparing at Hydra to sail to Alex andria, to watch the motions of the new expedition fitted out there. It was said that an American ship of the line was to accompany him. The heroic defence of Missolonghi seems to have had great influence on this favourable turn of affairs in the Morea. SEPT. 11.—According to accounts from Zante of the 25th of August, Deputies from Greece, one of whom is the son of Ad miral Miaulis, had arrived ;here. They are going with pass ports from Commodore Hamilton, and from the Lord High Commissioner, Sir William Adams, to England, in order to solicit its protection. Commodore Hamilton is said to have ad vised the Greeks, previously to this, in case of extreme neces sity, to hoist the English or the lonian flag.—( Allgerneine Zeitung, Sept. 18.) ( From the Coast of the Mediterranean, Sept 4.) The Turks and their Agents continue to complain of the fre quent assistance which the English ships of war and merchant men give to the Greeks in the lonian sea and the Archipelago. After the late defeat at Missolonghi, the Capitan Pacha and Redschid applied to Sir F. Adams, complaining of the conduct of the English Authorities at Corfu, and particularly at Zante, as well as of the inhabitants of the lonian Islands in general, because they had on various occasions, some of which are stated, violated the laws of neutrality, and the previous ordi nances of the Lord High Commissioner. It is said that they received an immediate answer, but were not satisfied with it, because they found it quite evasive. The events which took place at the beginning of August put an end to this diplo matic correspondence. While it was going on, Commodore Hamilton negociated with the Admiralty, and Hydra, and the Government at Napoli, and succeeded in getting them to issue an act declaring their submission to England. We are not yet informed of the actual terms of this act, but all those negocia tions prove that the English party has a complete preponder ance in Greece, and that the Russian party, as it is called, has quite lost its influence. The instructions of the English were expected on this important affair, which excites an extraordi nary sensation throughout the Archipelago, and especially among the squadrons of the other European Powers, and will also not fail to attract the serious attention of their Govern ments.—(Nuremberg Correspondent, Sept. 17.)

The French Papers of Friday give some fur ther details o the conspiracy of BESSIERES in Spain, which would lead us to conclude it had deeper ramifications than was at first supposed. Letters printed in the Journal des DAats state, that an insurrection had taken place in Valeutia, headed by Genera! CIIAMBO, and that General Locno had also headed another in the Province of La Mancha, whilst OaTIGUELA, in the Province of Burgos, and another Chief whose name was unknown in the province of Grenada, had fol lowed this example. Neither of these insurrec tions individually appear of much consequence, as Gen. Loot() the chief who causes the most apprehension 'to the Government has but fifty men under him, but nevertheless, altogether they must excite alarm in the Ministers, w hose attention is thus drawn to so many different parts of the kingdom. It seems also that the fidelity of the detachment sent in pursuit of Locno 'is much questioned, as it has not yet made any report, although four days had elapsed since it had set out. Extracts will be found elsewhere. The German Papers received last night con tain some very interesting and highly satisfactory intelligence from the seat of war in Greece, in letters dated respectively from Constantinople, Trieste, and the Coast of the Mediterranean. By these letters it appears that the Divan hat been thrown into considerable alarm by some un favourable accounts which have been received from the Archipelago, and by the fact that the Govern ment of Napoli had solicited the protection of this country. News of this nature, it will be rea. lily perceived, could not but excite the most lively apprehensions of the Divan, the more espe cially as it appears the submission has obtained the full approbation of the Greeks, and 'in- 1 spired them with fresh courage to resist their invaders. ,The younger MIAULIS is re presented to have been sent as a Deputy to London. This intelligence has been followed by accounts of the arrival of the American squadron off Hydra. Report now states the recapture of Calamato by the Mainotes under Pietro Bey, and the defeat of th , Arabs under the walls of Napoli, with a loss of 1600 men. The Frankfort Papers received this morning contain but very little interesting news. They, are chiefly filled with the details of the prepara tions making at Presburg for the Coronation of the Emperor as King of 1-lulic-Atty-,,which took place yesterday. Extracts from these Papers will be found in another column. Rio Papers to the 26th July came .to hand s this day. They contain details of t he prosper nu and happy condition of the Br azilian Em- Pi', and the success which has hitherto attended their arms in the Banda Oriental. The a ccou!i.ts last published come up to the 10th of July, and represented the success to be all on the side of the insurgents ; those which are subjoined come up to the 29th, and give a very opposite colour ing to the war there. RIO DE JANEIRO, JULY 18. Yesterday, the 17th, his Majesty reviewed a pait of the gar rison of this city in the plain of St. Christovoa. To-day, at half-past eleven o'clock, his Excellency Sir Charles Stewart landed from the Wellesley man-of-war; he was landed on the plain of St. Christovoa, to be nearer to his residence. We hear that his Excellency had the honour to meet the Em peror, who was returning to the Palace of Boa Vista, after having been to examine the works carrying on at the Custom house, and the new bridge off the Custom-house, which is finished. By this bridge the great inconvenience is removed which the merchants experienced by the tedious unloading of their ships, which besides will not be stopped at two o'clock in the afternoon as was the custom. It is difficult to imagine how the Government, which is compelled to extraordinary and enor mous expences, by repeated expeditions, by succours to all the pro v inces of the empire, paying the troops and public officers, building ships 'of war, &c. can undertake works of this nature, which cost large sums ; but a good administration can effect much, as may be seen by comparing the present and the former Govern ment. Formerly there was no war, no dissensions in the pro vinces, agriculture and commerce were not injured by civil war ; there was no army, no navy, and yet noting prospered, and an enormous national debt was augmented. Now that Brazil has an army, a navy, and has suffered all the above-mentioned evils, every thing prospers—there is money for every thing. J u LY 19.—We have received very favourable news from the province of Cisplatina ; every thing promises the speedy and happy termination of the disorders excited by rebellion and am bition. We know fur certain that the battalion of the Emperor and of the Grenadiers, which went to that province, have al ready taken the field, without getting sight of the enemy ; that on the 22d of last month Colonel Bomba, with his sons, two Officers, and six soldiers, entered Monte Video, who were de tained by Fructuoso Rivera, and had eluded his vigilance ; that Lieutenant-Colonel Queiros, who had followed Rivera, and was besieging Colonia with 200 men, recognizing his error, had re. turned to Monte Video with most of his people and a quantity of arms and amrnunitllso ; that our squadron had greatly con tributed to the happy resultby taking from the enemy a quantity of stores, a good schooner which had them on board, and various other vessels : that the peoplb's minds were much encouraged by the arrival of the squadron, and the pecuniary assistance sent by his Majesty,thatprovisions were cheap, and so abundant,that the Authorities had requested that no more might be sent. We have seen many letters which confirm . these statements ; one of them says—l think that this disorder, excited by the revolu tionists, will be soon put an end to : the rapidity of the expedi tion has astonished and confounded them, as they themselves confess, and the troops are very goo-',." JuL 25.—A dispatch from the ViScount Laguira, dated Monte Video, 26th .June, announces the arrival of the troops from Rio on 'the 11th and following days, and expresses his confidence in the speedy restoration of order. - The following article appears verbatim in The Morning Post and The New Times of, this day, and as those Papers are distinguished for loyalty, it may he inferred that they are equally favoured with the confidence of Government " We were astonished to see in the Courier of Sattirday, a paragraph intimating that a portion of his Majesty's Mini sters were strongly in favour of a dissolution of Parliament; bat, that ultimately, though not without considerable discus sion, the views of nix. CANNING and his friends prevailed,' and that the resolution not to dissolve the Parliament was taken before the . meeting of the Cabinet on Thursday.'—We have reason to know that the whOle of this statement is as false as it is mischievous ; and that there never was a question con sidering its importance, upon which there was less difference of opinion.—lt is notorious that the Ministers composing the-Ca binet were not even, assembled in town before Thursday. On Friday morning Lord .LIVERPOOL went to Windsor to lay before the KING the opinion of the Cabinet, and that opinion being adopted by his ,MAJESTY, was communicated to the friends of Government on the evening of that day." DREADFUL FIRE AT BATH. UATII, Saturday Night, Sept. '24.—This even ing, about half-past eight o'clock, the inhabi tan ts . of the Orange Grove, and its vicinity, were alarmed by a cry of " Fire !" and it was soon ascertained that the upper part of a house belonging to 51r. Paisey, tailor, Wade's-passage, was in flames. The bell of the Abbey was immediately tolled, and an immense concourse of persons haitened to the spot. The alarm was dreadful—several women were seen running about in a state of distraction, while the inhabitants of the neighbouring houses were busy removingtheir goods : the confusion has never been equalled fn this city since the memorable 21st of December, 1820, when the Lower Rooms, which were situated near the same spot, were entirely consumed. On the present occasion, the flames burst through the windows with resistless violence ; and although the engines speedily arrived, the supply of water was so small, that all attempts to check them proved unavail ing. The scene, at this moment, was terrific beyond descrip tion. The moon shone with uncommon brilliancy, and its rays combined with those from the fire, gave the trees in the Grove a green sulphurous appearance, while the countenances of the spectators appeared of a bright red. The flames continued raging for some time, and serious apprehensions were entertained that they would extend to the Abbey Church, a fine gothic building to which the house immediately adjoined. These fears were rendered the more intense, as the organ, and other valuable articles, had, on 'account of some important alterations now going on in the Church, been placed on that side of it. All these, however, fortunately escaped injury, and about half-past nine o'clock it was evident that the flames had been partly got under. Several firemen, -With the utmost promptitude and intrepidity, mounted the roof of an adjoining house, and suc ceeded in hewing down the windows, &c., when, at length, the roof fell in with a tremendous crash. A better supply of water was now procured, and soon after 10 o'clock the flames were so far got under, as to do away with• all idea of further danger.—. This is the third fire which has happened near the same spot within the last 12 months.. Sept. 25.—1 t is now ascertained that the damage is not so great as was at first apprehended. The flames, it appears, have extended no farther than to the' upper part of the adjoining houses. Had they not, however, been restrained by a party wall, or had the tire taken place two hours later, when'the wind was somewhat rough, the whole crowded pile of buildings in that quarter must have been consumed ! NVe understand that the fire originated in the work-shop of Mr. Paisey, the men, it is supposed, having accidentally dropped a spark, which smoul dered for some time, and did not burst forth till after they had left work. A Cabinet Council was held at one o'clock on Saturday afternoon, at the Secretary of State's office for. Foreign Affair:, at which the Duke of Wellington, the Earls of Liverpool, Uarrowby, ‘Vestmereland, Bathurst, Mr. Secretary Peel, Mr. Secretary Canning, the Chancellor of the Exchequer,- Viscount Melville, Lord Bexley, the Right Hon. W. Wynn, Sce. attended. The Ca binet did not break up till past four o'clock. AFILICA--We believe it is not generally known that an English estab lishment.h:e; been formed in the island of Mombass, on th e east coast of A frica , where a trade in ivory and gum copa l is extensivel y carried on. It appears that Captain W. F. OWEN, of the Lem* who has two sur veying ships under his orders, put in here, in February 1824, for water, when he found the place under a strict blockade, by the Itnaum of Muscat's vessels. On his landing, the Chiefs and principal inhabitants of the place escorted him to the Castle, when they solicited from him permission to put themselves under the flag and paternal Government of his Majesty George the Fourth, with which request Capt. Owen complied (until his Majesty's pleasure should be known), as a measure most likely to conduce to the total sup pression -of the Slave Trade on the Coast, where it had been carried on to a most lamentable excess. Lieutenant Emery, 11. N., with a party of men, was left in command, since which several Dows have been captured ; the poor slaves released, and the cargoes of the vessels, consisting of grain, cocoa nuts, and - ivory, restored .to the owners. - The following ac count of this new establishment (eXtracted from a private letter just received), must prove acceptable to our readers : " Mombussa is an island in 4. 3. S. latitude, and 39.,41. E. longitude, about 14 miles in circumference, situate at the - mouth of two rivers distance from the nearest part of the Main, about two hundred yards; at low water you -are able to walk across; it is very fertile and rather high. It was at one time in possession of the Portuguese, who fortified the place very strongly, but now the fortifications are going : last to decay ; they having been driven out by the Arabs, in the year 17 o ; and 1 firmly believe nothing has been done to the battlements since that time. The Arabs are now intermarried with the Sochilles, the native tribe of the place.
