FR 7'llE FRANCII PAPERS. Co IMP NTZ, Nov. 4.—The Commercial advan. taps which the Emperor has granted to our City ate not merely complimeitaly. A great number of merchants have already speculated deeply in the articles of muslin% cotton,, and what is more &retying of approbation, they have unanimously determined to relinquish the contraband trade,' the consequences of which are anxiety, inconvenience, and vice, GENOA / OCT. 27.—0 n Sunday hot an extraor.

Six Sail of the Line and some Frigates belonging to Admiral NCLI.ON'S Squadron, are repairing the Port of Valetta, at Malta. . - It is positively asserted, that the ;KING, of SaximitA, who is still at Gaeta, in the king. dom of Naples, will embark in a few days . for Cagliari. The Court of Naples appears to he extremely anxious that he should quit that State. All the Ports on the South of the Adriatic Gulf are at present occupied by the French Troops, the 4sumber of which is continually increasing -in the Neapolitan State. General ST. CYR causes the. Troops, which he has lately reviewed, to be cnnti. ttaally exercised. Ile has ordered that all such Regi. hunts as come from Upper Italy should be so guar. feted • ti% to produce the least possible inconvenience to the inhabitants. PARth Nov. is said, that the Senate are this day to present to His Imperial Majesty the result of the examination into the votes on the here. ditability of the Regal Power. The. Anniversary of this day was not kept ; all the brilliant ceremonies 'by which it was to be cntumemorated are reserved for the day of the Coronation, when their splendour will receive ten. fold increase. That august ceremony, which is to otisolidate the interests, and irrevocably deter. itiline the fate of France, is said to be deferred to the 9th of December ; and those who are to attend on that day, have received orders to pre. Bent themselves at Paris on the zd of that month. It is reported that his Imperial Highness Prince Louts has lodged 100,000 byres in the hands of a Notary, to he applied to the relief of decent families tediSted to distress ; The Pretift of Upper Garonne has ordered a Spanish merchant, who entered the French twitory, and penetrated as far as Thnulouse, with a false Notion, to be enntintled to the other side of the l'Y'ennean IVlnuntains.

The proofs agdinst them are said to have been found hi the wainscot of a Lady' s nressitig-room at Abbe- Valle. The following Article. giving an account of the termination of L11%1.11144 is from the Paris Papers ;) The great affair that, occupied the Special Mili. tary Commission at Rouen was terminated yester day, The Government Reporter recapitulated all the fags, and drew his conclusions, in a Speech of Which the following are some fragment.: " We have a great but salutary example to set. On the one hand you see guilt with all its audacity; on the other, innocence with all its candour ; the 4pressed, who holds out his supplicating hands to 3 °4 ---the wicked, who meditates new crimes. In rile earliest which is about to take place, the ad. dress of a villain may sometimes produce emhar. foment ; but lead i n hi s eyes , b ut f ollow his discourse, and the confusion of both, as much as the evidence of the fads, will soon :thew you, his guilt, "Of these fifteen, three only have escaped ; the other twelve are b:fore you. Doubtless the 4IC. to t ed were the original authors of a plot so detest. able, anti that they had demanded the price of it from that atrocious GLlvernment, which, fur such a length of time . , has pensioned all traitors, and at. warded all crimes. "There is no doubt that the great majority of the present culprits ate not less to be blamed than pitied in this important proceeding, and that their credulity with 'esprit to the guilty principles, is at bottom the only clime which they have. in reality committed. But it is also to he believed, that in this latter number there may be found men, go- Ironed by the vilest motives, who could not justify 'tornselves from the crime which is imputed toThem. 1 1% renewal of the w a r w i t h t h at nat i on essentially "e enemies, and deeply jealous of the French nation, Presented them with a new occasion for developing Maim s the most easy to combat ; they accordingly tailetied together ail the villains whom the sword of the law pursued, and to whom th e i r G overn ment k~pints a special protection, more pa r ti cu l ar ly when their Country." tThe Reporter finished thus : i‘ Here, Gentlemen, he duty of th e R eporter ceases, and that if the gea commence.

The other nine were acquitted. The three condemned persons were shot next day. They behaved, say the French Papers, with great courage. Letters of a very late date from Leghorn, state, that an Epidemic Disorder had found its way to that place, and that great numbers of the inhabitants had &lien a sacrifice to it. On the first appearance of the disorder a consultation was held of all the Facul ty, to inquire into the nature of it. Two only of the number pronounced the complaint to be the Yel low Fever, and were unfortunately among the first who experienced its fatal effeas. The remains of Sr. APRA were lately found at Augsburgh ; she had been a Priestess of VIINU, in the ages of Pagan idolatry, but embraced the Christian Religion, with her three maids. A fes tival was instituted at Augsburgh, on the discovery her remains, which lasted eight days, and ended on Sunday, the 20 of last month. During that celebration, the skeleton of the Saint was publicly exposed in a glass.case, for the veneration of the Roman Catholic believers. Some devout Ladies of Augsburgh have presented the Saint. with large diamond rings, golden chains for her neck, and a silver crown of laurel covered with pearls, for which they took receipts, enabling them to re claim their presents in case that Patroness of the Bishoprick of Augsburgh should be at any time secularized. During the feast there was an im. menu concourse of people from the neighbour. hood, particularly from Bavaria ; et least one hundred thousand people came from ten io twenty hours journey. The great silver offering-dish, which was placed before the glass.case of the Saint, filled so rapidly with the donations of the devotees, that the Monks were obliged to empty it several times in a day. A sermon was preached every day, painting, in the must glowing colours,' the heroic martyrdom of that great sinner, (she was a Priestess of Venus before her conversion), the miracles she had hitherto performed, and the great benefits she had conferred, for these t coo years, upon the City and Bishoprick of Augsburgh ; menting, at the same, that the Protestant Inhebi. tants could not enjoy her efficacious intercession with the Almighty. A Papal indulgence was affixed to the porch of the Church, promising forgiveness of 'sins out of the treasure of grace of the Church, for two hundred days, to all the faithful who should confess their sins, take the sacrament, andearnestly pray to God for the eradication of all heresies. A very produaivi collation was made among the Roman Catholic Citizens, to defray the expences of the Yeast ; and a superb sarcophagus is prepar. ing to preserve the bones of Sr. AFRA next year. Father PLACIDUS BRAUN has omitted, in the 2d edition of his Treatise on the Life and Atis of ST. ATKA, the passages which were offensive to the Palatino-Bavarian Government, and to the Protes tent Citizens of Augsburgh. The Lutheran bitants of that City fared very well by the feats, since the assemblage of so many people employed every trade. Letters from St.Petersburgh, of she 20th ult. men. lion, that near the southern angle of toe Fortress of Fanagorji, a hill on the summit of % mountain, si. tuated contiguous to a lake of Soo fathoms in cir cuit, began to swell on the 4111 of July last, be. tween twelve and one o'clock at night. The hill rose about twelve fathoms, and then burst with lightning and a rumbling noise like thunder, emir. sing burning clods and ignited stones, which were thrown a considerable height, and to a. distance of M O fathoms. Next a clear flame made its appear ance, which spread a disagreeable smell, and blazed for an hour and a half. The eruption occupied one half of the lake, forming a hill of ten fathoms in height, and joo in circumference. Esc ar E or FRSNCH PR ISONS te.—The Prisoners et Norman Crois continue in the incesrant employ of their ingenuity to died their escape. Sixteen of them a few nights ago accomplished their end, and notwithstanding the most diligent search, five only have been re.taken. Yesterday the Barnet Volunteers were inspected by General BALPOUIt, in Greenhill Grove Park. They are a fine body of men, in the highest disci. pline, and were highly complimented upon their steady and soldier.like appearance. Tuesday se'nnight as John Smith, a carpenter, was going to his work, near Wetheral, Lancashire, having his side pocket filled with edge.tools, his foot slipped, and, falling upon one of his chissels, it unfortunately entered his body under the left arm. The effusion of blood was so &teat as to occasion almost immediate death. DECOIUTIONS FOR DR 4 lIING ROO ifS. The hangings or decorations for the two prin. cilol stories in magnificent mansions art about to undergo a complete revolution. The Egyptian style attaches itself solely to eating rooms and libraries, tl►e walls of which are painted and ornamented after the elegant rem►ins. of ancient sculpture found .in Tuscany in the coast of the two last centuries. The style consists of ornaments in the primitive colours, namely, red, yellow, and blue; they are principally drawn from the painted tombs of the King of Tint:Rs, and the exquls►tely decorated walls of ancient Herculaneum. The Drawing-rooms are entirely 4.la.Grec, the body of the walls is of a plain colour, consisting chiefly of a pearl or peach blossom ; the pannels made out with antique Grecian borders, finished with rich carved and gilt moldings. In the .more superb mansions, silk occupies the place of plain co. lours : the borders arc executed in carved work, partly drawings ani partly gilding. The shim. ney.pieces of these mansions are very low, and made of the purest statuary marble, the enrichments of which consist of bronze or or.molu. The expence of many of these chimney-pieces amount to Soo guineas, over which a gla►s occupies the space up to the cornice of the room, in one entire . chrysial plate, sunk in the wall, without a frame, being hung in a bold gilt molding. These plates run near nine feet high, by four and a half. The hangings of these apartments are very expensive ; thost executed in plain c►►lours, for a room thirty feet by twenty, could not be finished in the manner above described for a less bum than Soo guineas ; but if they are chine in silk, the expence would be little short of moo guineas. NAVAL ANECDOTE.—In the reign of Queen ANNt s Captain HARDY, whose Ship was s t at i one d at Lagos Bay, happened to receive undoubted i nt ei. ligence of the arrival of the Spanish Galleons, under the convoy of seventeen Men of War, in the hat. bouts of Vigo ; and, without any warrant for so doing, set sail and came up with Sir GtOßCit Roox a, who veal then Admiral, and Commander in Chief in the Mediterranean, and gave him such in. telligence as induced him to make the hest of his way to Vigo, where all the before mentione►l Gal. Icons, or Men of War, were either token or de. strayed. Sir Gsokatt was sensible of the import. ance of the ads ice, and the successful expedition of the Captain ; but after the fight was over, the vielnry obtained, and the proper advantages made of it, the Admiral ordered Captain HARDY on board, and, with' a stern countenance, said, " You have done, Sir, a very important piece of service to the Throne : you have a►lded to the honour and riches of your country by your diligence ; hut don't you know, that you are liable at this in,tans to he shot for quitting your station ?" " is unworthy of bearing a commission under !fee Nln t EVrY, (replied the Captain) who holds hi, tile at aught, when the glory and interest of his QuFFN and Country re. quire him to hazard it !" Go this heroic answer, lie was dispatched home with the first news of the victory, and letters of recommendation to the QUERN, who instantly Knighted him, and after. wards made him a Rear. Admiral. The fair at Lastwithicl, on Tuesday •se'nnight, was very large and very brisk. Several bargains were made. In the evening several men of St. Winnow, being intoxicated, had a fracas with the inhabitants of Lostwithiel, who proving viaorious, severely thrashed their opponents. A very unfortunate accident befel Mr. TYLeR, of Leatienliall-Markct, on Monday last, on his return from hunting on Epping Forest ; it is sop. p os ed the animal on which he rode ran away with him, and threw him with such violence against a tree, that he fell senseless on the ground. Two Dravmen, who saw Mr. TYL/R nut two minutes before the accident, missing him off the horse, went in switch of him, when they found him wel. tering In his blood, apparently dead ; and the tree against which he had been forced, was much sprin. Weil with blood. The men took the unfortunate Gentleman to Chingford.green, where he ha►l the benefit of medical assistance. Mr. TYLIIR'S bro ther happened, the Sallie evening, to be in t h e neighbourhood, and hearing that a Gentleman of his name hid met with a very alarming accident, went to see him, anti found it was his brother. He rode immediately to town, and returned with Mr. B4IZARD to Chingiord, when they found Mr. TY LBR in the sante torpid state in which he had been left. Mr. lILIZARD, on examining the wound, gave very little hopes ut his recovery. The opera. l ion of trepanning was, however, performed, and Mr. TYLZR is still alive, hot has never been able to speak s nor aloes he know any of hit friends, who'have entirely given up all hope of his recovery. Mrs. 'IYLEit is far advanced in pregnancy, and has been confined to her bed ever since she heard of the teal accident. 'Oa Monday' se'nnight Thomas Jeiviinsov was committed to Grantham gaol, ehargeti with having stolen and slaughtered Six fine ,hasses. The hides of some of than, with various parts of their car. cases, were found deposited in his house ; some of which he had disposed of for doggy, bat the greater part he had privately appropriated for the support of swine. Mond») , morning about eleven o'clock, a tall genteel-dressed man, about 35 years of age, threw himself from the hallustrades over the middle arch of Blackftiars.bridge. He was taken up immediate. ly, when he bled much at the nose, and appeared to have received a violent blow o►. the forehead; his speedy recovery, however, was not doubted. He struggled violently to get away from the people whi) brought' him on shale. Yesterday morning, at eight o'clock, the follow. ing widefattors were executed in, the ad ley, pursuant to their sentence, viz.-7ohm Lloyd, for uttering as true, a forged Bank of England Note, of the value of al. knowing the same to be forged and counterfeited,' with intent to defraud the Governor and Company of the Rink of England ; John Brim* Prnetier, Alias Brow'', for burst...stealing ; and Wehh, alias Dean., for a like offeilc.«, They came out of Newgate and ascended the pidt. form, and after having spent a, few minutes in fir. vent prayer, they were launched into eternity.— They were very,decently dressed, and behaved with a PrarletY becoming their situation. IA'QUESTS: A Coroner's Inquest was held yesterdiyl, at 'three o'clock, at the 11,,rley.Mow, tvl , ,unt.sticer, Gros. venor.square, before ANTHONY CELL, E q. Coro:. ner for Weitminster, On the body of a Mr,. Sower by, wife of a very eminent and respeCtable broker at the corner of Cannon.stteet and the Commercial Road, Shadwell. It appeared in evidence, that atinnt r r o'clock on Tuesday the deceased was noticed by several . per. sons, walking in a state of great agitation, on the bank of the Queen's Bason, in the Green Palk, near Piccadilly. A nurserymaid observed her to take ti phial from her pocket, and, after uncorking it; drink the contents. His Excellency Baron De Roe. beck, being at the same time at his drawing.roodi window, in his house at the corner of Clarges. street, observed &female, elegantly dressed in svhite; jump into the Baum. His Excellency immediately rang his hell with violence, ran down stairs with: out his hat, dented his domestics to follow him; crossed Piccadilly, through the private gate, imme., diately to the Bason, where he pinged into the water ; after swimming with his clothes on for some considerable time, he perceived the Lady ril l . ing to the surface of the water ; but, before he could reach her, she sunk again. His Excellency, being an excellent swimmer, succeeded at length in bring. ing the Lady ashore, but quite senseless. She wO immediately conveyed to Mr. Lawler's, a public► house, at the corner of Clarges.street and Curaton r street. Medical assistance was immediately called in, and, in a short time, animation was restored The first words which the uttered, were, "Oh my children ! my children ! my mother ! I have poi. toned myself by the contents of the bottle !" She soon after fell into convulsions, which lasted for some time. Upon examining her pockets, a 4.. ounce phial was found in one of them, with some ofitier. forts:, supposed to be the phial the servant saw hec drink of; a handsome pocket.book, with a silver. pencil, with a memorandum of the death of two of her children, and also the date and agreement of the hiring of a servant, with a blank duplicate, iii which was printed her husband's address. Between film and six o'clock, not finding het better, it wag thought proper to remove her to Mount.street Workhouse; a messenger being previously dis. patched to acquaint her husband with t he n i e f an .; chuly event. Two medical men attended from the neighbourhood of Shadwell, who soon found that their aid could nut be of any use. The violence of het convulsions increased, and she foamed shuck. ingly at the mouth. These symptoms convinced them of her having taken the fatal draught before she jumped into the water ; and at eight o'clock at night she expired in great agony. The Jury being impannelled, on a view of tha body, found under her left breast a large wnund s , as if perpet rated by a sharp instrument ; also another upon the left thigh, with some violent hruises oti the breast, apparently occasioned by blows. The fi r st witn e ss was an apprentice to her husband, wi l d depoied, that his mistress and master (lid nut live happily; that she had been of a very indifrerynt tem. per, anti was addiaed to drink, and very often in a state of dAirintn. The brother of Mt. Son erby dr. posed neatly to the same tfiltet. He s aid, th at oft Saturday last he visited his brother and the de. ceased ; that they were then at words, and that they lived unhappily ; he attributed it to her unsettled state of mind, being of a jealous turn, and some. times betraying symptoms of phrensy, as well as of liquor. Upon the examination of a Surgeon s he proved, that she had no wound or bruise such 4 as coald occasion her death, and he was clearly of opinion that it was produced by drinking the con. tents of the phial, being aquafurtis, which brought on suffneation. The Jury, after a short &littera. tion, returned their verdi&—Luvaey. This unfortunate Lady appeared to be about z 6 years of age, of a middle stature, and a mosi beau. tiful woman ; she was elegantly dressed in the first style, and has left three children. Mr. Sowerhy, her husband, was at the Workhouse, but did not at. tend the Jury., Another Inquest was held, at the same place, be. fore t'lr. Ca LL, at four o'clock yesterday evening, upon the body of another Lady. It appeared by the evidence of a baker, that as he was passing, between eleven and twelve o'clock on Tuesday morning last, near the basi) or reservoir of water in . Hyde Park, he observed a bonnet suspended from the rails of the bacon; curiosity led him to approach the bison, and he perceived • something floating upon the water. On giving the alarm, a labouring man, passing by, tan to his assistance, and, on getting over the rails, perceived it was a woman. With difficulty they succeeded in taking her out, when she chewed symptoms of life by the moving of a leg and an arm. A crowd were 400 r) collated, and a window shutter being p rocure d, s he was immediately' conveyed to the house appointed by the Humane &witty, near the Serpenttne River, where every meato were used to restore animation, but without tire% The body was removed in the afternoon to the workhouse. Sh e appeared to be between 30 and 4.0 years of age, and must have been a very fine woman both in features and stature. Her skin appeared as white He alabaster, and, though dead, and lying in that situation, her countenance shelved a vermillinq bloom. Her dress was very shabby. It was said that duplicates of goods pawned at a pawnbroker** office, in Westminster, ‘,sere . tbuod in her rcitet. As these, however, were not produced to the Jury, there were no means of ascertaining her name, or to whoM she belonged. Verdift, pima' drowned ix the Bann of H)dr Park.
