We received this - morning the Paris Papers of Wednesday. The Constitutionnel contains a long extract from the Nuremberg gazette, which gives an account of the course of the negociations at Constantinople, from Decernber to March.--- This account only .repeats what we knew before, . . that both the British and Austrian Cabinets did all in their power to impress upon the Emperor ALEXANDER the danger which menaced Europe if once war was kindled, and that their efforts seemed likely to prove successful, when, in Febru ary last, the celebrated note of the Reis-Effendi nearly destroyed all theirhopes. liaise addsovhat we have before stated, that the 'Emper'or A LEX-. • ANDER had consented to modify his demands, as far as it would be compatible with the honour of his Crown, in order.to avert the evils of war and the article continues to say . that M. de ,TATISCHEFF, who left Vienna on the 20th of April, was expected to return in six weeks, by which time it was hoped that the negociations at Constantinople will have taken a favourable - turn. We trust these hopes may be realized, but it appeais that the Divan petsists in its declaration of the 28th of February, and , judging from the arrogance and haughty character of the Sultan, as well as the wish for - war which prevails among his troops 'and the Mussulmans in general, we fear the very anxiety displayed by the Christian Powers to preserve peace will operate, to con firinthe Divan : in_ its resolution.—The foll ow i ng . are ' entracte • PARIS, MAY.22.—The King gave a private - audience yester day to' the English Ambassador.

' Accounts from Smyrna of the 24th of April, confirm the re capture of the island of Scio by the troops of the Capitan who, notwithstanding his authority, was unable to restrain the fury of the Turkish soldiers towards the unfortunate Greeks. The Gazette Univertelle of Lyons of the 18th, received yes. terday, contains the following OUDONNANCE OF POLICE. " We, the Mayor of the City of Lyons, " Considering, that notwithstanding the regulations of our Ordonnance of Police of the 14th instant, new disturbances broke out last night, that a military post was attacked, that three soldiers were woundea by stones, and that the post was under the melancholy necessity of defending itself, and of firing, though, happily, no person was hurt ; " Considering that new disorders will not fail to occasion ir reparable catastrophes, and that if the disastrous scenes which took place on the evening of the 10th, and th e n i g h t o f t h e 1 6t h instant, are prolon ge d, the safety.of persons and property will be infallibly compromised, which would compel the 'Govern ment to take measures of severity for the re-establishment of the , publie tranquillity ; Considering that such measures, by drying up the sources of industry, and paralysing the activity of our manufactures, which can only flourish in the midst of order and peace, would injure our commerce, and deprive the workmen of the Weans of subsistence, &c." ORDER--[Here follow the regulations for preventing riotous assemblages.] It was apprehended that there would be fresh disturbances yesterday, but from the' precautions taken, the greatest order prevailed. At night-fall piquets were stationed in different places, and numerous patrols were about during the night. The Serjeant of the 2d regiment of the Able has been ap pointed a Sub-Lieutenant for his exertions in opposing the fac tious on the 10th. FRENCH FUNDS.-PARIS MAY 22. Five per Cents. Opened at Closed at BB f. 75 c. 'Exchange on London—One Month 25 f. 25 c. Three Months 25 f. sc. VIENNA, MAY 11.—There is a talk here of the approach ing journey pf one of our Archdukes to London, for the pur r pose of nesociating respecting objects of the highest import ance. It is said he will be empowered to establish new bases for, a treaty between A us t r i a an d E ngland, and to concert mea sures to be taken by these two Powers in concert, in the event ' of the Porte persisting, which is probable, in rejecting all the modes of conciliation proposed by the Mediating Powers. FRONTIERS OF MOL DAVIA , MAY 2.—Accounts from Bucharest of .the 26th of April state that the' excesses of the Turks had spread a general alarm in that town ; the foreigners, amongst whom were several Austrians, had found themselves compelled to request passports, but the Kiaja Bey had refused them. The greatest part of them had placed their merchandise in the cloisters. Fresh troops every day cross the Danube, and replace the Asiatics, who have hitherto been only occupied in pillaging. CONSTANTINOPLE, APRIL 20.—(Extract of a Private Letter.)—The note of the Austrian Cabinet, delivered to the Porte on the Bth April, has made the Ministers of his High ness reflect seriously on their situation ; their language is more fonciliatory, and on the 18th April the Reis-Effendi dispatch ed a note to the Ambassadors of England and Austria. In this note, the Divan recognizes again its obligation to' conform to treaties, and to evacuate the Principalities and States, that the Turks have already commenced evacuating the Principalities, and that the Porte will give the most positive orders for the execution and completion of the measure in a short time. N.B. This disposition on the part of the Porte cannot be known at Petersburgh until the beginning of May, and will have no doubt a great influence on the determination of the Russian Cabinet.—(L'Etoi/c.? • FRANKFORT, MAY 16.—The Austrian Observer is still silent respecting the negociations at Constantinople. The provisional seat of the Central Greek Government is about•to be transferred to Athens. Commercial letters announce, that all the island of Negro pont is now in the power s of the Greeks, and that the small isles adjoining make common cause with them. The Russian troops. in Bessarabia make many movements. General Sabanieff, who commands the advanced guard of the Army of Cie South, has rstnoved his. head quarters Ta. marona. It is this moment reported 'that a battle has been fought in Armenia between the Turks and the Persians; without any decisive success to either party. The CHANCELLOR of the 'ExcifEouch. deve loped his new plan last night for the conversion .of the Half-pay . and Military Pensions. The • propositions of the. Right Honourable Gentleman, : particularly as regarded the 'intended remission of two millions of taxes, gave very general sa tisfaction to the House, :arid will doubtless be equally acceptable. to ,the Public. One or two of the Opposition made a feeble attempt to give an injurious change to the character of the scheme ; but the 'sense of the liouse was almost universally in its favour. Our sentiments respecting this wise and salutary financial mea sure are already so well known to our readers, that it would be useless to re-state them. If possible, we approve of it.still more in its new shape, than in, that form which failed to in duce the great 'capitalists of the .country to take the contract,since now it is divested of every thing :calculated.., to give- it The appearance of a gambling .transaction. If there be any be nefieial results, of a purely_ peCuniary nature, from the calculations of those results, the Public will reap the whole of the. advantag e .. If, on the' - other hand, th e - li ves should prove to' ' be . of greater duration than was originally estimated, a public benefit -will not be ob , tained through the loss or ruin of indivi duals.—Finally, as •we have before pointed out,' the eipenditure. of the- country will not be diminished, notwithstanding a diMinution of taxes to the amount of two millions !—lt is diffi 'cult, perhaps impossible, to calculate 'the im, mense advantages which may spring from such a conjuncture, so favOurable to the industry of the country, and to its powers of produc lion and consumption.. The annual sales of the annuities. also will, periodically take up a large portion of the surplus capital of the nation, which is frequently driven to seek -in vestment in foreign securities, or is embarked in 'precarious and desperate speculations, not more injurious to the individual speculators, than to the general interest of those classes of the people who are already exposed to the of over-competition.—The taxes . intended to be reduced are 13 shillings out of Iss. per bushel of the Salt . Tax,--the Irish 'Window Tax and Ilearth,-7a , part of the. Leather Tax,—and the War Tonnage Duty on Shipping We have. received Sierra Leone Gazettes to the 28th. February. They confirm the report that the Slave-trade is .still carried on to ,a shameful extent on the westward coast of Africa :—a Por tuguese Brig, with 140 Slaves on board,. had been carried into Sien7a. Leone ; another Brig, 'under . the same colo urs , was . b roug h t in . with 175 Slaves. The British have a force stationed at Sierra Leone, consisting' of the Iphiginia..Frigate ; Sloops of war Morgina and -Pheasant ; Corvette Myrmion; and Brigs Snapper and Thistle.. From the re-. port of the Collector of Customs, the trade of that place is rflourishing,—the amount of duties h the year ending On the 31st December last, was, 105.060, being an increase. of 38. 385 Sterling in the revenue of the preceding year. AMERICAN BOUNDARIES.—By recent letteri 'mem New York we learn that considerable time must elapse before the Commisiioners for' settling the Boundaries can terminate their labours, as serious differences of opinion have arisen respect ing the Isles before Malden, which there is reason to apprehend it will be extremely difficult to adjust. The British Commissioner, it is un ddrstoocl, had e onditionagy arranged,a II the other parts of the boundary line, not contemplating that a demand so unprincipled and so , manifestly unjust as that for the Islands in question could be persisted in by the American Commissioner. We are inclined to think he must have been in fluenced by those who were about him. A re ference it seems was made to the authorities at Washington, but without success, as Mr. CAN NING and Mr. ADAMS could not agree upon it. The British Commissioner., it is said, steadily adheres to the principles of the middle of the waters, and will•not consent to the surrender to the Americans of either Sugar, Fox, or Stony Islands, much less Boes Blanc. These dif ferences, we believe, have been referred to the Government at home, whose mild and concilia tory disposition leads us to expect that they will be adjusted, like the question respecting the Columbia River, by the concession of every point in dispute. However amiable this disposition may be, we confess that it seems to us highly impolitic, and little calculated to support the National Character or to maintain the Rights of British subjects. The American demand 'should, in our opinion, be decidedly resisted; but if that can not be, consistently with the policy of the pre 7 sent Administration, and our amicable relations with the United States, we think the Govern ment should at least insist, as a sine qua non, upon having all the Islands in Lake Saint Clair. Throughout the whole of these proceedings the American character has developed itself. Every point has been pertinaciously litigated, and great trouble given, especially on the sth article, in which the Americans claim territory• within fifty miles of Quebec. These questions are very freely discussed in New York, and we expect that our correspondent may enable us to present our readers with further information upon them, as they are highly important to the British Interests in America, and materially affect our National Reputation. 'STEW YORK, MAY I.—ln the Senate on Wed nesday the Committee on Commerce and Manufactures made a Report on the subject of prohibiting foreign spirits. The Committee think the United States would be, romoted bypro hibiting the importation o f f ore i gn sp i r i ts; hi t were of opinion that its immediate prohibition would diminish the revenue, and that it would be best to arrive gradually at the object in view, by, increasing the duties on foreign Spirits. They were of opinion that the Bill must originate in the House,• and the Committee were discharged from any further consideration on the subject. NAVIGATION BILL.—The apathy' shewn on this vital subject by the Members for the Ma ritime Counties and Out-Ports, :with the excep tion of the FOURTEEN MEMBERS who voted against '•this impolitic measure on the 20th instant, has excited a very strong sensation in the trading world, and there is little doubt but that it will give rise to strong remonstrances, and will pro duce results at no distant' period, which will not"be very agreeable to'the Representatives in Parliament of these districts and places. It was naturally to have been exc4cted, after the public declarations of Sir WILLIAM CURTIS and o th er individuals against this Bill, that they would have availed themselves of every opportunity of dividing against it, and, therefore, it is to be pre sumed that their absence on the last division was unavoidable: The third reading is, however, fixed for Thursday next, and it is to be hoped that this Bill will be withdrawn or thrown out—from the ruinous effect it will produce on the Shipping, Manufacturing, and Landed Interests--and by being in the opinion of all practical men alto gether uncalled for I .—The adoption of the Bill will weaken, and ultimately annihilate, our Naval powers, and shew the world our disregard of that ancient maxim which was cherished by our ancestors,-- Qui mare teneat, cum necesse ?Trim poterV' • As we are not guilty of A,hat indifference to ' Religion mentioned by our intelligent corres pondent SIDNEY; we would advise Mr. CANNING, and all who support his alarming `Bill for the ad mission of Catholic .Peers into the House of Lords, to read - the whole series of SIDNEY'S letters on this important - subject. The late Sir War. MUSGRAVE was a. zealous Protestant advocate, and, thrOugh the medium of .this Paper, with great learning .and judgment pointed out the dangers of POpERY, till death put a period to his valuable - laboUrs. Sir ILtacounT LEES has re solutely followed in the same course, and we have been indebted • to the active, learned, loyal, 'and indefatigable Baronet for some admirable articles on the same subject. STONEY is pursuing the same course, and his letters are characterized by extensive research, irrefragable authorities; and unanswerable reasoning. The time demands the utmost attention from all who are, 'attached to the Safety of the Protestant Church, for it cannot be too often observed, that the•PAParrs affirm that their Religion has never been changed, that it is unchangeable ; and Mr. PLOWDEN, the "last writer in support of_ Po pery, and whom .the Papists hold to be a comp tent authority, affirms, " that they deceive. them selves who think that the Roman Catholic Reli gion has been altered or admits of alteration."--= , Can we then doubt that if the Roman Catholic Creed is precisely the same, and. there can be no doubt on the subject, that the conduct of Papists would be the same if they were again to be invested with political power, and• that the_ same- horrible massacre of Pro testants would follow -in due time? The end with Papists justifies the means, and the latest posterity of Mr. CANNING may have reason to deplore his proposed measures, unless indeed, by .becoming Roman Catholics themselves, they exult in his ,successful triumph over . our present Establishment . in Church and State ; or, in other words, that GLoßious CONSTITUTION, which has rendered us the freest and most powerful people nn MERCANTILE SHIPPING, &c.

THE THEATRE.---MiSS STEPHENS took for her benefit last night, at Covent Garden Theatre, the Play of Don John, and the Afterpiece of Cymon. She gratified her friends besides with a Concert, at the end of the play, which «•as supported by herself, Miss M. TREE, Miss lIALLANDE, and Mrs. SALMON, as well as by SAPIO and AN GRISANI, and the instrumental exertions of BocnsA on the harp, and Puzzr on the French horn.: The whole was a rich treat, and it is with pleasure we add, that so excellent a singer and so meritorious • a character in private life as Miss STEPHENS, had, on this-eccasion, as ample a proof of public patronage as could be mani fested to the utmost extent of the Theatre.

The second course was served up on the former; and the whole of the preparations were as superb as any thatlare . ' been given by his Majesty for a considerable time. 'The whole of the state rows were set apart for the evening party, with the exception of the grand drawing room appro,. priated to the dinner party and the room l ea di ng ' to it. They. were brilliantly illuminated with wax lights, Most tastefully decorated with growing plants and blown flowers from die' Royal Gardens of Kensington and Kew. - • A. little before ten o'clock a detachment of the Royal Horse" Guards arrived in Pall-mall to regulate the carriages of those who had the honour of being invited. • Townsend; Sayer, and a numerous assemblage of the Bo*•::, street officers and patroles, were in attendance to preserve order: The private entrance, opened on Levee and other public days,' was opened on this occasion for the reception of chairs into the Palace-yard. The company began to arrive a little before ten o'clock, and were conducted by the pages in waiting across the grand hall, , through the octagon hall, to the state apartments. The band.played occasionally as the company arrived, who appeared all in hill court dresses. His Majesty was dressed in a Field Marshal's uniform, wear= ing several foreign orders, with which he has been invested, in compliment to the Royal strangers, including that of the Danish order, which'lVe understand is of the Elephant. The Duchess of Kent,. attended by General - Wetherell and • the Baroness de Spaedth, was among the first who arrived. The Duke of Devonshire also arrived early, and after making his obeisance to his Majesty, left the Royal Palace, having a numerous party to entertain at Devonshire House. The company were supplied with a profusion of choice fruits • and confectionary by the R.oyal Pages and other attendants in the octagon room. Card-Tables were provided for the company, but they did not appear to have any attraction. At twelve o'clock the Prince and Princess of Denmark took leave of his Majesty, and left the Palace ; they were again sa luted by the band of the Ist Regiment of Foot Guards, with our loyal national anthem " God save the King." The Princess Augusta and the Duchess of Kent followed • directly after, and the general company departed as soon' as their carriages could be brought up. They consisted of Count Ludoff; the Neapolitan Minister and his Countess, the Ameri can.

There has, it seems, been an important feud in the higher circles respect ng a magnificent Ball, which has excited the most anxious expectation of the fashionable world. Accord.. ing to report the selection of visitors was left to two Ladies distinguished rank, who in their invitation list had omitted the-, name of a certain Marchioness who has been the subject of, much comment.—This omission, it is said, gave such offence to thc• great character who was to be the patron of the Ball, that: he therefore made a new list, in which the aforesaid Marchio nes was enrolled, and the other two Ladies excluded. The Duke of Devonshire gave an elegant banquet on Thurs. • day at Devonshire House, to the Earl and Countess of Morley, Lord and Lady Normanby, Lord Morpeth, Mr. and Mrs. Ellis, Mr. Wm. Banks, Mr. Luttrell, Sir. S. Smith, &c.—ln • the evening his Grace gave a grand Concert ; the whole suite of apartments were thrown open, and were illuminated with its usual brilliancy.
