FRENCH PAPERS. (From the itioniteur of Monday.) [OFFICIAL PART.] SAINT CLOUD, AUG. 14. To-day, before mass, his Excellency the Count de Puebla del Maestre, Ambassador from his Catholic Majesty, prosented to the King, in a private audience, his letters of recal. hlis Excellency the Duke of Villa Hermosa, Ambassador Extraordinary from his Catholic Ma jesty, presented to the King, in a private audi ence, letters from his Sovereign, appointing him Minister Resident at this Court. Count de Bray, the Bavarian Ambassador, pre sented a letter from his ,Sovereign, notifying the birth of a Princess ; daughter of the Crown Prince of Bavaria. A Royal Ordinance prescribes, that from the year 1825, the accounts to be rendered by the Treasurer-General of the Invalids of the Navy, shall be made up annually. [NON -OFFICIAL PAIIT.] - • PARIS, AUGUST 14. The Journals have spoken in divers mariners respecting the issue of the affairs of St. Domingo. The Ordinance of the 17th of April was calcu lated to displease, and it has displeased all those who, independently of all reason, have vowed to throw obstacles in the way of all good that the Government undertakes, and to censure all that which it effects. Their diatribes have excited no astonishment, they were bound to make them, and they were expected. The same Ordinance has been commented upon in the most unreasonable manner by other Jour nals, which have supposed to be in harmony with the Government, though they often differ from it, and sometimes on most important points. We are authorised to deny all that has been inserted in these Journals, especially in the Drapeau Blanc of the 13th of this month, con trary to the sincerity and the plenitude of the concession made by the Ordinance of the 17th April to the actual inhabitants of the French part of the Island of St. Domingo. This act, granted with probity (per loNaute), and accepted with respect and with gratitude, will be frankly and fully executed. The word of Charles X. is sacred as -honour itself. (From the Constitutionnel of Monday.) We copy the following article from the 'Journal de Rouen of the 13th : " The news of the arrangement concluded with St. Domingo .has been received by the commercial classes of Rouen with all the interest its importance_tleserved. By the care- of. Chevalier Seiin, Commissary of Illarine at this port, it was placarded all .over the town early in the morning ; it was proclaimed at the Town-hall, where it. was received with the most lively testi_ monies of satisfaction. Several speculators entered into engage ments for the sale of articles of our manufactures. 'proper for that market, with merchants of the colony itself. The happy . results which this event will produce on our manufacturing industry have been instantaneously felt, and. business has assumed a visible activity. Every thing promises the prompt re-establishment of the direct commercial relations which existed heretofore between the port ofßouen and St. Domingo." ' ( From the Journal des .Debuts of Monday.) ..ILEGIIORN, AUG. 3. The Captain of a Greek vessel, carrying the lonian Island* flag, just arrived in this port, in forms us that on the 13th 'July, at his departure from Marathonis (a small commercial town in the eastern part of the Magne), he had himself read a letter of Colocotroni's, addressed to the muni, cipality of the town, giving the details of the march of Ibrahim Pacha's troops upon Napoli, and their retreat to Tripolitza, after the check they received at the post of the Mills by the • Greek troops, commanded by the brave Cara 'rasso and 1). Ypsilanti. From Tripolitza Ibra him took the road to Patras, thinking it was evacuated by the -Greeks, but , he was repulsed with loss by Londos and Zaimis,and obliged to return to Trip°litza. On seeing the impossibility • of advancing by that route, Ibrahim determined to return to Navarino, but found he was unable, as Colocotroni and Petimeza, who had occupied the defiles, repulsed -him with considerable loss. _ Ibrahim then offered to capitulate, promising not to make war upon the Greeks :or ten years if he were freely permitted to depart from the Morea. Colocotroni,however, refused to agree to any manner of capitulation, insisting that he should surrender at discretion. The captain of the vessel adds, that the. Greek troops which surrounded Ibrahim amounted to 40,000 men. Prince Mavrontiehalis had depart ed from the Magne with numerous troops in -or . der to reinforce Colocotroni's army. !Elle whole of the Peloponnesus is under-arms, atal a chief, in whom all parties could place an equal. coat- .fence, was only wanted to direct them. in the rencontres which have taken place, rahim has lost 3000 men, and has been himself wounded in the right hand. On our side the brave Col. 'lasso has been dangerously wounded in the arm. lie has been transported to Spezzia, •in order to be taken care of. Three hundred mules, loaded with provisions sent to Ibrahim from Navarin, have fallen into the (►ands of Colo votroni. All the enemy's communications are. intercepted, and he himself must • soon be in our - hands. The isthmus of Corinth is well fortified; a great number of Greek troops are.assembled there, and are preparing to join the army of Gou ---ras, who is making head against another body of Turkish troops, which has penetrated to Salona, by the way •Zeitouni. It was said at Marathonisi that the Turkish fleet had effected the landing of 3000 Albanians, sent from Candia to Navarino. We'have to-day received ,letters from Napoli di Romania, which reach to the 2d July, and .• there is also one of the same date from Colocotroni's - corps,-sent by way of Missolonghi, which con- Confirms the intell►gence that Ibrahim 'Pacha was closely blockaded at Tripolitza, and also of his being wounded, as we have already related. Baron LANGSDORFF, late Russian Consul-Ge neral in Brazil, has, since his return 4o Germany in April last, been employed in preparing for the press an account of a journey into the interior of Brazil, which he undertook by order of the Em peror. ALEXANDER. TO THE RIGHT HONOURABLE Til E EARL OF SHAFTESBURY. M Y LORD—Having read the Act of Parlia ment commonly called the English and Bristol Channel Ship Canal Act, I think I have a right as a , Landholder on the line of such intended Canal, to make a few observations Telating to it, and that they cannot be addressed with so much propriety to any person as to your Lordship, be cause you fill the high and responsiblf- situation of Chairman of Committees of the House of Peers upon all private Bills, and because that, House looks to your Lordship in all matters re specting, such Bills, and places the fullest con fidence in your Lordships' wisdom and constitu tional knowledge, that nothing contained in them shall be of a partial or inequitable nature. In that situation, I presume it to be the duty of your Lordship •to protect the interest and the property -of every 'individual in the realm, as well as those of the public in ge neral; I presume it to be also the duty of your Lordship, to see that the Standing Orders of the house-of Peers be strictly complied with. By one of these orders, I think it is required that four-fifths of the estimated e , :pence of mak ing every Canal, &c. shall be actually subscrib ed, and secured in such a way, as to oblige the Subscribers to .pay the money agreed _to be subscribed.. On this latter head I have very few observa tions to make, butJi ask, whether, it was not well known to your Lordship, that within three days previous to the third reading of the • Bill, the sum agreed to be subscribed did not amount to 800,000/. and whether or not when it appeared that within the short space of three days, that sum was increased to :1,400,0001. it was your Lordship's duty to have examined the subscription list, and to have inquired who the persons were that subscribed so large a sum, and by what means they were induced to set down their names as subscribers ? If your Lord ship had done this, you would have found that many persons were persuaded to affix their names to the contract upon promises by the pro moters of this scheme, of perfect indemnity against every loss for money, and you might have deemed it an imposition upon the Com mittee, and &serving the severest punishment which the House of Peers could inflict. The expellee of completing this Canal, with two harbours and various other works, and of purchasing lands, end making compensation for damages, was estimated by Mr. Telford at 1,712,8441. Mr. Telford is doubtless a most skil- ful engineer, hut was it right, or prudent, to trust to the judgment of one man only, and was it not a duty you owed to every landholder on the line of the Canal, to have had the opinion of other engineers, before you recommended that this Bill should pass into a law ? If your Lord. ship had done this, you would have been told by those whose judgment was equal, to Mr. Telford's, that this stupendous work could not be comp. pleted for a less sum than 2,500,000/., and I think you would not have consented to give power to any set of men, to cut up very fine land, and destroy the comforts and conveniences of the owners of estates, by beginning and partly ex ecuting a work, without a chance of its being finished, and without a possibility of its ever be coming, as it professes to be, any benefit to the public. So much for the Preamble, I now come to the Act itself. -In page 12 it is enacted, that compensation shall be made to Mr. Hallett for any damage or injury that may be sustained by him, to his lands and harbour at Axmouth. This is fair and equitable, for there could be no reason why Mr. Hallett should not have a compensation for his rights at Axmouth, as well as Lord Rolle for his harbour at Beer ; but why, as stated in pages 24 and 25, Mr. Gray should be favoured beyond any other person, by not having -any wharfs or other works near his land, or why the line of canal through his estate should be so positively' defined as not to permit a deviation, which is allowed on all the rest of `his line? Or why the owner of Manst,ll-house (who this individual is I -know not) should be so particularly favoured, as not to have any dock, wharf, erection, or other building made within sight of that house, are points which I cannot understand, and appear so very partial as to require explanation. In pages 35 and .36 it is enacted, that the Canal Company shall purchase the whole of Sir VVm. Oglander's, ~Lord Sidmouth's, and Mr. Manning's estates, if they take any part of them for the purposes of the Canal. Allow me to ask, why such. favour is shewn to those individuals, and whether it was right or equitable so to do, without granting the same to all others whose lands will be as much injured by the Canal ? Some of considerable property, others scarcely possessing any other, who will be robbed of their small .allotments. Your Lordship is not to be told that the humblest individual has •a full equal right to the law's protection of his little all as the greatest landholder. But the most astonishing part-of this most ex traordinary Act is in page 131 and 133, where it is enacted, that nothing therein contained shall authorize the Company to take or use any land or ground,house,or building,belongingto EDWARD BERKELEY PQItTMAN, Esq.in the parish of North Pettenton ; or to HENRY POWELL COLLINS, Esq. in the parish of North Carry, without their .con_ sent in writing. Is it possible that your Lordship, knowing Mr. COLLINS to he one of the most strenuous opposers of this wild scheme, would permit an Act to pass, which might, and in all probability ►would be come perfectly useless and nugatory by the re fusal of that g , ,, , ntleman to give his consent. Is t pos2ible t}►at your Lordship would be aware of .he consequence of such a refusal. With regard to the public, there are many ,hings whicl► must strike the attention of every person who made this Act. I %s ill notice one only, viz, the immense reservoirs which are to be made for supplying the Canal with water, and I would ask whether, or not, such extensive bodies of_ stagnant waters will not be unwholesome, whether or not some regard should have been felt for the comfort, the health, and even the. lives of his Majesty's subjects, whose habitations are fixed near them, and whose confined circum stances will not allow them to seek any other, and whether the country might not be liable to be overflown for miles, and property of a vast amount destroyed, if the banks of either of these reservoirs should give way ? I have addressed these Observations to your Lordship, because you must have been misled by erroneous 'statements and calculations, and may not have given that consideration to the va rious clauses contained in the Act, which the mag nitude of the subject, and time interests of the public required. In the hope that your Lordship will never re commend such another Act to the sanction of the Legislature, I r ema i n , AlguEt 16, 1825. A LANDHOLDER. *** Having inserted many articles in favour of the stupendous Plan to which the foregoing. letter relates, we cannot 4'efuse to admit that letter as an appeal to our candour and justice on the other side of the question. HAY 'l' I. [From the Philadelphia Gazetk.l A gentleman has furnished us with a statement of the trade of Port-au-Prince during the last year, from which an idea may be formed of the great and growing importance of the commerce of this island. It will be recollected that there are 12 or 13 other ports at which foreign vessels are . permitted to enter. The statement is by no means full, as no account is taken of lumber, India and European goods, and other articles shipped from America. If these were added together, the total would be 1,200,000 dollars, and it would be found that one-third of tht receipts into the Treasury are paid by citizens of the United States. It is proper to observe. that much of the coffee exported to France is on American account, .and that the Americans are customers of the Ilaytians for full one-third of the exportable produce. Even when there was a discriminating duty of 5 per cent. in favour of' the English, our merchants found a vent in Hayti for some European and Indian goods, and during the last year for domestic cottons. How import ant must this trade become to both countries now] that the duties are equalized.

In 23 years, the number of inhabited houses in Eng land and Wales alone have advanced one-half. Fifty years ago, the very existence of canals was a matter of incredulity. Fifteen millions of public wealth have now been profitably ab sorbed by these mi g h ty d ucts; and at least half as much more is at this hour destined for their formation. Fifty years ago, there wag' hardly a steam-engine in the kingdom. There can not now he less than twelve thousand—a creation of power equal to at least a quarter of a million of horses; an ener g y which, in a single day, would have raised u p t h e great pyra mid of Egypt. Fifty years ago, our annual export of manu factured cotton did not amount to a quarter o f a m illi on in value: it has no w swo ll en to near l y th i rty millions. In the same period, ou r exporte d woo ll ens, in defiance of Saxon, Prussian, Spanish, and American competition, have advanced more than two millions. Fifty-years ago, our imports of raw silk were only three hundred thousand pounds in weight : they are now nearly three millions. Fifty years ago, our export of iron was hardly twelve thousand tons : it is now about ten times as much. Fifty years ago, our exports of linens were about four millions of yards: they are now nearly forty millions. Fifty years ago, the whole value of our exported produce, both native and foreign, was just fifteen millions of money : the value . of B r i t i s h pro d uce exported, alone, is now more than fifty millions. A hundred and twenty years ago, says old Tucker, there were only two or three vessels in Scotland above two hundred tons ; our whole tonnage is row more than a quarter of a million, employing twenty thousand souls. A hundred and fifty years ago, says Chalmers, the whole navy of Britain did not amount to a hundred thousand tons : it is now at least three millions of tons, employing about two hundred thousand souls.—(Edinburgh Observer.)

The French Papers of Monday arrived last night, and contain some intelligence from the Morea, under date of Leghorn, August 3 ; ex tracts, however, will be found in another column. The KING'S Ordinance, relative to St. Domingo, has imparted unmixed satisfaction to the people of Rouen, who begin already to look for the re establishment of the ancient commercial relations with that Island.—The Pilot says, that the troops destined for the Expedition to the Ha vannah are still confined in their caserns, and disarmed ; their Officers have been obliged to inform the Government of the danger of forcing them US sea. The Council of Castile is occupied on the affairs of re-establishing the Inquisition. An Express, with the Etoile of Tuesday and Wednesday, arrived from Paris at a very late hour this morning. There is, however, no news of any moment in it, except the account from Constantinople, which we had previously ex tracted from the Allgemeine Zeitung, and which will be found below. The Duke of W ELLINGTON, his son, and suite, are arrived in Paris. FRENCH FuNns.—Rentes, for money, 102 f. 10c. ; for the end of the month, at three o'clock, 102 f. 15c.

It has accounts from C o nstantinople up to the 21st July, extracted from the Austridn Observer of the 6th August, but they contain nothing new. By them, how ever, our previous intelligence of the repulse of IBRAHIM PAcuA. before Napoli di Romania, and his retreat upon Tripolizza is confirmed. These letters say nothing relative to the capture of the Turkish General ; indeed, this inform'ation clearly appears to have been incorrect. This account says, " On the 25th of June, Ibrahim, with an escort of 80 horse, advanced to the gates of Napoli-di-Romania, whether merely to reconnoitre, or depending on some secret understanding in the town is not known. A part of his van-guard appeared about the same time before the Mills to make them_ •elves master, of that position, or perhaps the Maga- I f 0 zinc there.
