PARIS PAPERS. PARIS, Mancn 31.—1 t is believed, says the Ruche &Aquitaine, that Berton is in some measure concerned in the plot at La Rochelle. What is certain is, that he has shewn himself at a fair with seven others well armed, and endeavouring to get new recruits. - Telegraphic despatches from Toulon of the 26th and 28th of March announce the sailing from that port of the Medea frigate, and the schooner La Torche. The Medea, commanded by Cap tain Rigny, is going to the Levant to reinforce his Majesty's squadron, after having cruised off vari ous parts of the coast of the Mediterranean. The Torche l commanded by M. Dupelit Thouars, is gone to Algiers and Bona, to protect the coral fishery in those parts, where treaties give the French vessels the right of pursuing that fishery. The Echo de l'Orient complains, that in con travention of the concordat of 1801, attempts have been made in the diocese of Rennes to re store the suppressed fetes, and instances those of the Virgin Mary which were before united with the Sunday, but during this year have been cele brated in the diocese on the day when they fall. The clergy publicly announce them, the parish ,priests especially recommended the observance of them to their flocks who are very docile, labour is interrupted, and the silence of the civil authorities induces new infringements of the law.. The name of the bishop is put forward to autho rize those innovations-; and it seems not to be known that he alone has no right to change what his supreme head has thought fit to establish, which the rest of the French clergy observe, probably, without resistance, and to which he is 'bound by a law of his country to submit. The same journal mentions the still more blameable conduct of an ecclesiastic at the head of a college,` who suspends the studies of the youth on le holidays thus illegally restored. FRANKFORT, MARCH 26.—Prince Suzzo is still under surveillance at Lemberg, the Austrian go vernment not having allowed him to prosecute his journey. He has applied to the Court of St. Petersburgh for'leave to return to Russia. Private letters state that the late naval action between the Turks and the Greeks, at the en trance of the Gulf of Lepanto, was very bloody, and that the loss on both sides was immense. The loss of the Turks is estimated at 25 ships of war; but the'Greeks are said likewise to have lost 16 ships of war. The Vienna Court Gazette has just published a numerous promotion in the Austrian army. It is observed, that such promotions are generally made on the eve of a war. It is reported, that an important negotiation is 'on foot between the Courts of Berlin and Munich; but this news needs confirmation. AIX-LA•CHAPELLE, MARCH 27.--(From a .Letter.)—A person worthy of credit sends us by express from Frankfort the following details : On the 25th, in the morning, the house of 'Rothschild, jun., received an express. An ex 'iraordinary bustle was noticed in the trans 7 'actions with paper currency; the tickets of the' •lottery of Rothschild immediately fell 3 per 'cent.: the other Austrian paper fell in pro- portion. ; The house of Rothschild having, contrary to its usual custom, observed profound silence on 'the contents of the despatches which it has re. ceived, the most singular reports were in circu lation on 'Change ; and, the Magistrates of Frankfort not having contradicted them, it was generally believed by the merchants that the courier bad brought news of the commencement of hostilities between the Russians and the Turks. 'On the same day (the 25th) the house of Rothschild despatched couriers to different capitals. Letters from Odessa, from a respectable quer , ter, which we have also. received express, state, that in consequence of orders from St. Peters ,burgh, great preparations were making at Odessa to receive the Emperor and Empress Dowager. These 'letters give no further information of ulte rior movements of the Russian armies ; only 'they say that the Generals-in-Chief have lately received sealed orders, the contents of which will probably be known when the Emperor arrives. VIENNA, MARCH 23.—After the arrival of the courier from Constantinople, the conferences. with M. de Tatischef ended in the dispatching .of another courier for the Turkish capital, with •a note, it is said, in which Austria insists for the last time on the necessity of a decisive answer. IL de Tatischef will wait here for the answer, which may be expected about the 20th of April. :The noted Sir GREGOR MACGREGOR, having failed to establish himself as an Inca in New Granada, has started a new scheme, and ,put forth a flaniim.Proclamation,- in which he states that the King of the Mosquito nation has be stowed upon him and his heirs the territory of •Poyais, adjoining to the provinces of Honduras and Nicaragua, of which he styles himself his highness the Cacique, and forms a plan for its settlement and cultivation, " intending there to spend the remainder of his days;" This sym pathy for a secluded portion of the American continent is certainly highly ,praiseworthy in the enterprising Cacique, and as long as the object in view was merely to bestow the benefits of civilizatio►► on the aborigines of Poyais, no one would ever have questioned the (right of the Mosquito Chief to bestow principalities on whom he thought proper ; but, unfortunately, the Pro clamation is followed by the, printed -" Regula tions of the Poyais Land Office, in Edinburgh," In which the public are told that the price of -these lands is now one shilling per acre ; but if ,people do not hasten to make purchases, it will be advanced, " particularly, if certain circum -,,stances, now in a state of progress, take place." 1321. Jan. 1. June SO. Dec. 31. FOR THE SUN. STORIES FOR GROWN OENTLESIEN• Mn. Enrroa-,—Some years ago, in the Island of Antigua, there was a Society of Odd Fellows, , called the QUIZMENOGS, who not only assumed nicknames for themselves, but also bestowed them upon every body else. An American Timber Merchant, residing in St. John's, was very much dissatisfied with his sobriquet, and came to the wise resolution of riding out, one day, to the house of a Planter in the vicinity, who was a very active member of this Quizzical Society, in hopes of getting rid of it. He was received on the plantation with much kind ness ; and, whilst walking over the grounds, made some observations on a large building, newly erected, but only roofed in part. " Why do not you complete this ?" said the Timber man. " Because," replied the Planter, " I can not find any good SIIINGLES in the Market."— " Oh ! my dear friend, you shall not wait for that. I have just imported a cargo of the best New England Pitch-pine, and to-morrow I shall send you enough to finish it."—" Much obliged ; but the price?"—" Oh! nothing to a friend."— " Indeed ! how then can I repay you ?"—" My dear fellow, you have great influence with the Quizmenogs! Can't I have my name changed ?" —" Undoubtedly ! we meet in a week. Consi der it done !" Ten days after, the planter having rode into St. John's, the friends met. " Well ! my dear fellow," said the Timber man, 44 is my name changed ?" It is—and the Shingles were excel lent !"—" Ten thousand thanks ! Well ! and what is my name now ?"—" :JACKY PITCHPINE !"

W. HILL. FOR THE SUN. MR. EDlTOR—Having observed in your Paper of Friday last (under the head " Singular Occur rence") a circumstance of a gentleman having .vomitted a worm from the stomach, 1 beg leave to'hand you an account of a similar occurrence which affected a friend of mine. He is a young man of general serious habits, but about six weeks since was induced to indulge too freely in the juice of the Grape, when be was suddenly seized with vertega and nausea that caused a violent retching and vomiting which brought up a worm of the length of six inches ; it died in about ten minutes after expulsion. It is somewhat curious that it bears no similarity to those worms which generally come from the sto mach, but is more like the chrysalis of a cater pillar upon an enlarged scale. It is now in the collection of a scientific gentleman of this city. I have been induced to forward to you these particulars, as they may be productive of useful medical inquiry.—l am, Sir, your's, &c. Norwich, March: 31. WILLIAM BROWN. MRS. DONATTY'S MURDER.-Although some days have elapsed, and nothing has been publicly done relative to the above atrocious transaction, yet Mr. TAYLOR, the Vestry Clerk, has been unremitting in his exertions to cor. respond with the different Magistrates all over the country, from whom he has received various communications. He has been informed that a very strong suspicion is thrown, on a no torious character now in confinement in Bedford gaol for a burglary. William Head, sen. the officer of Hatton-garden„ yesterday had a long interview with Mr. Taylor, and vari ous plans were suggested, which will be laid before the Magi strates this day. \iih. .....* Iti . • 1 .,,,1,‘,„ „ k * ,' ,‘,. ~,, lk \OV i.." , I ~„ i.',7 ‘ , •„/ MASONIC NOTICES FOR NEXT WEEK.

The intelligence respecting the question of peace or war between Turkey and Russia, brought by the French Papers of Monday, is decidedly warlike. The Monileur states, that letters received at Paris from Constantinople, dated the 28th of February, announce that a grand Council was held by the Ottoman Go vernment on the 25th, at which the commanding officers of the Janissaries, and the heads of the corporations of the town, were present. The subject of their deliberations is not stated by the French Journalist, but private letters received in this country from Constantinople, dated the 25th, mention that at this Council it was de termined to accept the Ultimatum, not without considerable opposition and great difficulty. The news of the acceptance was made public the next day, when, continues the Illoniteur, some disturbances occurred in the Turkish capital, which could only be appeased by the most severe measures. It would appear, however, that the most efficacious made resorted to by the Govern ment of restoring order was to rescind their re solution of the previous day, accepting the Ulti matum ; and we are assured by the French Official Journal, that after these commotions had been appeased, the REIS EFFENDI trans mitted to the Ambassadors of the Allied Courts a note, which is not so satisfactory as was expected, and which does not justify the hopes given by the preceding communication. We have private letters from Constantinople as late as the 3d of March, which say, that the nego ciations between the Ottonian Porte and the Fo reign Ambasadors are still going on, but it is feared more than ever that the SULTAN will adopt a warlike course, and commence hostilities. The recent successes of the Turks in Epirus, the pos session of the treasures of ALI PADUA, and the flattering hopes they entertain from the expedition just dispatched to the Morea, have so inflamed the courage of the Musselmans, that we think it scarcely probable they will be re strained from beginning the war. Indeed, vari ous reports are given of the Janissaries at Jassy being in open mutiny, and insisting on march ing against the Russians ; and so little able is the Government to control the tumultuous spirit of its soldiery, that it is asserted a strong column of Janissaries has been sent forward to the Danube by the Commander-in-Chief of the Army. The probability !of hostilities receives great weight from the Army Promo tions in the Court Gazelle of Vienna, which are usually made on the eve of a war, and from the fall of the Austrian paper, and the French Five per Cents ; the latter having on Monday suffered a depreciation of from 12 to 2 per cent., and the former having declined 3 per cent. Ad ditional confirmation is derived from the fact of the Aulic Council of War at Vienna having just contracted in Moravia for large supplies of cloth and leather for the Austrian army ; as also from the assurance that the Ottoman commanders in Moldavia and Walachia have received orders from Constantinople to hold their troops in readi ness to defend the two principalities to the last extremity.

Private letters are in town from Genoa, stating, that an Ambassador had arrived from Lisbon to the King of SARDINIA, who refused him an audience, and would not accept the new Consti tution ; in consequence of which the Portuguese Ambassador departed immediately. liostilitie are expected to take place between the two Go vernments. The above circumstance may account for the reinforcement of the Austrian army, as well as the French sending a large force on their frontiers. [Extract of a Letter from Valparaiso, Nov. B.] " The Sacramento has arrived, and it appears that Lord COCHRANE has gone for Callao; but it is stated by the well-informed he has sailed for Acapulco, and his object is to look after the ship Emperor Alexander, in which, I believe, he is interested. The army at Guayaquil has suf fered considerably, and Gen. SUCRE, after having routed the Spaniards, has been completely de feated, and it is expected the Spaniards will be masters again of Guayaquil." TIIE AGRICULTURAL REPORT.-We rejoice to find that our respectable brother Journalist The Courier, in treating of the Agricultural Report, observes, " With our views of this vital question, we confess we could have wished the Report had spoken out boldly on the subject of reduc tions in the Army, Navy," &c. The last Report added considerably to existing evils, by point ing public attention to a remedy, serving only to increase the evil. Although the present Report says nothing to continue the delusion, it too cau tiously avoids an opinion tending to oppose it. At. the present day, with the voice of Parliament and the Public so powerful, we cannot think any prat.- tical inconvenience would have resulted fr om a candid avowal that reductions in the army, navy, &c. must lower the wages of labour, deteriorate the condition of the great class of consumers, and by consequence injure, or in other words an nihilate, the profits of all those who had pre viously cultivated the soil to supply them with ne cessaries. The Morning Chronicle also says, that, had the labours of the Committee been directed among other things "to the wages of the labour., ing classes," they « would probably have found out that the Agricultural Interest is suffering, not from superabundance of production (of which, to do the Committee justice, they expresi their doubts), but by a diminished consumption, arising chiefly from the low rate of wages paid to the productive classes," &c.—These two publica tions, therefore, which differ upon almost every thing else, are agreed on this most important point. Since the publication of the Agricultural Report in June last year, we have repeatedly advanced the same doctrine ; and we see that i t has also been strenuously insisted on in the British Monitor. The restrained consumption of the labouring classes, now that our powers of pro duction are almost unlimited, is in fact the rea I source of the difficulties of all classes ; and until this great truth be distinctly recognized, it is vain to look for any efficacious measure of relief either for the agriculturists or any other class of the peo ple. It is at all events quite obvious that the consumption of agricultural produce can never he increased by raising the price, unless the prices of labour and of other commodities be raised in proportion ; and it is equally ob vious that the prices of labour cannot be elevated by throwing additional numbers of la bourers upon the already,over-burthened market, either by reducing taxes, or curtailing•the sums paid to the poor from the poor's rates. The great problem is, How are the now opposite and opposing interests of the agriculturists and manu facturers, (including the populations' of towns), with their respective classes of labourers, to be reconciled and amalgamated ? If this can be effected (and we see nothing to pre vent it), distress must immediately disappear, and for ever. They can produce, it is acknow ledged on all hands, much more than the country can consume. The industry of the unemployed or partially employed labourers, and of the pau pers, would be brought beneficially into action, together with increased scientific ancl_mechanical power, adding immensely to the groSs amount of annual wealth produced by the country—greatly enlarging rents, profits upon capital, and the na tional revenue ; and leaving such a surplus of clear national gain as would enable us to carry our foreign and colonial commerce to an extent unprecedented in the annals of the empire. THE PITT CLUB.—We always feel great plea sure in availing ourselves of any opportunity to testify our respect for the memory of WILLIAM PITT; and every true friend to this country and mankind, we'are sure, will share with us in the gratification of hearing that the Members of the PITT CLUBS are daily increasing.—We need not refer to the late ridiculous prophecy of Fac tion, that " there will be no more PITT DIN NERS." The second Monthly Dinner for this season is to be held on the 15th inst., and we find that there are eleven Candidates for election as Members on that clay, recommended by some of the most respectable Characters in the coun try. The Provincial PITT CLUBS are not less zealous to do honour to his memory, and nu merous Candidates are solicitous to be enrolled among their Patriotic Bands. Such is the declin ing state of the PITT CLUBS. To the malignant and ignorant enemies of this disinterested, wise, illustrious, and unrivalled Minister, the words of our great poetical Moralist may be aptly ap plied : . _ " When Statesmen, Heroes, Kings, in dust repose, " Their sons shall blush their fathers were his foes."
