We received this morning the Paris Papers to the 25th inst. The Diet at Ratisbon having nearly terminated their labours upon the,subjed of the Indemnities, seem now likely to be' involved in a discussion upon another question, which, though it probably will not occupy so much time as the former one, will nevertheless be disputed with great pertinacity. The EMPEROR of GERMANY, through ,the medium of ills Minister to the Diet of Ratisbon, has made a very important proposition to that Assembly respeffing the future composition of the College of Princes, 'as far as relatei to Religion.— , His IMPERIAL MAIEsTr proposes that the num. her of Catholic Votes shall amount to Seventy, and the Protestant Votes to. Sixty-eight. The Diet have not yet taken this proposition into consideration, and it is probable that it will meet with very strong opposition from the Prussian Party, The Intelligence which is taken frOm the Ger. man Papers respeeling nide), are, as usual, ex tremely contradictory. Some Accounts state, that the defeat of the PACHA of CAtao was not so cam plete as has been represented, though it is admitted that he cannot advance against the Beys withou t very considerable reinforcements; and that the English have observed the strictest neutrality dur ing the whole of the contest. Other letters say, that the English pi ivately supplied the Beys with Light *Artillery and Ammunition, and thereby enabled them to defeat the_ Turkish Troops.— , The Porte, it is said, has applied to France and Russia, to prevail upon the English Government to evacuate Egypt. Some very incorrea accounts of the disturbances at Gii)raPar have reached Paris; they are inserted in the Mon;var. Letters froni Gentiti state, that three Vrench Sail ,F the Line had arrived in that Port, for the pur pose of conveying the Polish Troops to Si, Dooiago. The Funds are 56. 95.

At five o'clock the ROYAL FAMILY left the Pa4ace for Buckingham-House "for dinner. The PRINCE*S AUnUhTA and Sot , LtT A were not present, the Faculty not deeming it prudent for them to leave the house so early after their indisposition. His MAIEsTy will hold a Levee next 'Wednes day, after which the ROYAL. FAMItor will honour the Concert of AnCient Music with their presence in the evening. The Loan MAYOR wore the same superb dress as he did on the Birth.day. On Wednesday Captain Bui-i• and Captain HoL- L is, of the Royal Navy, wete'presented to His MA. g JETY at the Levee, by the Eitl'of Nroiuroti. Sir THOMAS Tatocc, K. 13. is going out to Gibraltar immediately. The •Ainazon• Frigate is preparing at Portsmouth to carry him to that place. Ve rejoice to learn, that it is4n contemplation to make the stipend of that deserving class of men, Half-pay Officer's, payable without expense, in their own. distrids. . By the regulation intended, an rialf-pay Officer will have but to transmit his cer tificate, properly attested, to the War Office, anti -in return . he will receive an order on the nearest colledor of taxes for his money. This will save the individual ten per cent, on his whole yearly pay : and the Army Board. that is to be established,, will, it is pres Urned, diminish the number of Army Agents, at the same time that lit will simplify and expedite the payments to . . tary men, The Dutdbess of DORSET . has ordered her annual bounty of coals and meat, distributed byffer Grace's order every winter to the pbor inhabitants of Seven. oaks,. East Grinstead, and Wythyham, to be doubled this year, on account of her absence in France. We have reason to hope and believe that it was not Dr. BLAIR, Physician to the Fleet at Jamaica, that was drowned there same time ago, as mention. ed in the Papers a few days ago, but that the report applies to an accident which happened some weeks before, of a Mr. BLAIA, a Surgeon of Port Royal, and two other Gentlemen being drowned by their boat being run down by a rice barge. I3:y the late Packet from Jamaica, weore given to understand that the system .of Robbery so loudly complained of, amongst the Merchants of this Country, is daily spreading to a degree which if not timely suppressed,. bids fair to sap the very foundation of its Commerce.—Amongst other Merchants who have recently suffered by this species of depredation, the eespeaable house of Messrs. Aoutt.4tt, Dt As, and Son, of this City, have received information from one of their'Corre. spondents in Kingston, stating thatrsundry ,packages shipped by them per the Ship Matibew, from Lon. don in September last, have come to hand in apparent good order, but upon being ..opened, were found to have been robbed of their contents, Silks, Muslios, and Laces, .to the amount of poi. and in the lieu thereof, billets of wood, rope yarn, paper, &c. were found substituted for the purpose of filling up the packages. Grievances like these, at once so serious and Oa rtnint , • 4 to . all branches .of the community, call eland for t he s strenuous .exertions of every hottesi member of which itis,composed, in order to pursue, convia aid punish the perpetrators thereof.—it is with'pain we learn that the late reward offered by the Committee of Merchants, ands sanctioned by the Lord Mayor, for bringing to justice the nest of secret villains who have commitred those roliberies, haS not yet had its desired effea.—We however trust that every new ad of hostility corn. mitred on the property of the industrious Merchants of this Country, will stimulate them to unite and rcdouh!e their efforts for the purpose of couriteratt. ing so dreadful an evil. YeSterday morning a mceting.look place . in Elyde Park, 'between a Mr. B. Lieutenant, and Mr. A. Surgeon, both of the Royal Navy. They stood at ten paces, and fired by signal. ldr. A.'6 ball en. tered Mr. IL's right breast, and passed out near the left, without entering the inside. The Seconds then interfered, and the business was adjusted. Mr. A. declares Mr. B. is in no danger, - and proceeded home with him to dress him. The quiirrel arose at a billiard table, at Cape Nichola Mk, in the Island of St. Domingo, in December 4757. • Three interesting Bulls are said to have been de., manded from the PONTIFF by the• Court of Ma drid ; the first to nominate the FRINCE of PiAcgi Visitor General of all the Orders and Cloisters in the Monarchy ; the second, to secure to Go vernment the income of all, vacant Livings fOr twent, years ; and the third to invest the Arch bishop of To4apo, brother to. the prince, with full 'lowers to dissolve as many cloisters as be thinks proper. -Yesterday the LORD MAYOR nolo a court of Common Council at Guildhall, at which were .piesent 18 Aldermen, 014 RE CORlnft ) COMMON SaajenNT, Surat Evs, and nearly all the Members of .the Com. mon Council.

THE gale of wind on Monday and Tuesday has done touch da►uage. The Ships in ordinary ,in this Harbour, which lie two abreast, in consequence of the heavy sea, rub against each other very much.

The snow has been very considerable all last night and this day. The Mallard Gun-brig went out 'of Dock this day. Last night the persons who were watching the_ shore, to see if any part of the ilindostan's wreck floated there, heard the cries of persons in distress, and discovered a small Sloop (supposed a Smug gler) near the shore.
