Tie favour of our Country Correspondent who signs himself " A ER r TON,' is received, and we shall be happy occasionally to hear from him, agreeably to the intention which be is pleased to Express. `THE SUN. 4 VOLIM QUIS DICARZ FALSIJM AUDIAV ? LONDON, OCTOBER 24, WE this morning received Paris Papers to the Its% inst. - . They were brought over in a Vessel, which was shortly followed by another. In one of these vessels came Mr. HUNTER, the King's• Me ssenger, with DiSpatches from Paris, and a Russian and Fiendh. Messenger also, with Dispatches for their rtTeaive Ministers here. The Journals having now' exhausted !the Treaties concluded be tween France and the' different Powers of the Con tinent, contain littlethat . is important.—Among the consequences of the Preliminaries with this Country, is an order for the restoration of all English Prisoners. The Minister of General Po lice has, by an order prohibiting the Sea of Theo,: philanthropists to meet_ in any of the National Edifices, 'virtually withdrawn the v proteaion of the French Government front this- gang of Atheists. THE Hamburg?, gails dOe on Sunday and Wednesday arrived this morning. They have brought us no intelligence which has .not been anti. cipated. The eleElion of the ARCHDUKE ANTHO NY to the Elcecorate of Cologne has been officially announced. The I3atavian and Helvetic Republics are busily employed in settling their Constitutions. The former Republic looks, however, with more anxiety to an augmentation of its Commerce, in consequence of the Peace "with England, than to the work of Constitution-making, for little more than tzoo voted pro or can an the Political Question, IT is now certain that something to the effeft of the Third Article of the Treaty between the French Republic and the EMPEROR of RUSSIA, will be proposed to be inserted in the Definitive Treaty with this Country—We have reason also to believe that no difficulty will be made respefting it on the part of the Chief Consul.-L-We shall look upon such an ; Article in our Treaty as very satisfactory--as a proof that the wish to disturb dur Government, one of the principal causes of the War, is totally relinquished, and it will enable us to take those steps of precaution, without exciting jealousy, which we think highly adviseable for the safety and happiness of. the Country. Approving most sin cerely of the Peace, but :differing as essentially as • we do from some of those who approve it as to the grounds of that approbation, we shall have to coUL: bat many points with them, and in whiCh we shall probably Coi.;cide with those who express the strongest dissatisfaßion at that measure. We shall contend that it is no proof of any unfair distrust of the sincerity of - France, that our Naval and Mill i tary Establishments should be considerably higher. • • than they were previous to the War--that the use:: fel and salutary ,institutions of VolunkerCivalry . and Infantry should not be Suffered to be,discOn: tinned ; and that measures shour t he adopted , which may guard against the .danger of principles hbstile to the British Constitution, These measures would . argue no suspicion Of de ceit on the part 'of the:French Oovermnent---,they .arise out of the state of.-things--rout Of the changes which have taken place in the relative situation of the Countrp—and they Will. he necessary for our proteefion:—Great Britain 'and France may continue to- be rivals,. but it is our, wish that the rivilship should not be kept up in the, spirit of jealousy. and distrust,—We hope they will emulate each other in the cultivation of the Arts of Peace---,in the im- rrovement and extension of Commerce," and in all those pursuits which have a tendency to render human life more contented and hapry,—Buf, the extended influence of. France renders it necessary that we should, be upon our guard ; and the prin.," ciples which have sprung',froin the Revolution, make it indispeUsible to our safety that our Consti tution should be fenced with, and guarded by pre. Cautions, which would .have been wholly , useless had not that Retolution, we ertainly do not say. , established, • but set zfloat opinion:, the most perni, cious to the welfare of every, well-constituted Go. vernment. . It is true; bovOver, that we haVe not the same fear of those,principles wilieh we felt-hoae time Tago. Time and experience have rendered the Othavagant folly and the danger of them pretty clear to the,l6,_ habititnt& of this country—and, by wise prceaution,, tliat experience hzs' been obtained without any of the hortor3 to which r11e4531T5 3 founded CM such principles, too certainly lead.—We have had no Noyad,es, Mitraillades, Fusillades, or Guillotines ;' and ii any persons in. this . CoUnt-ty. adopted the principles to which we allude,- from convidion, we' believe they have seen enough of their effeas to in: them to abandon them, and they are left to the small band of•the disaffeCied or treacherous part'of • the Commun ty .—Whe the r Jacobinism is, or is., not, extinft in France, this is not atiint for us to dis cuss ; but certain we are that its doftrines are neither aeted upon, nor encouraged, by its present Govern ment. These are reasons for dreading them less than formerly, but they are no reasons for not adopt ing precautions which, while they .effeaually secure us from danger, do not infringe upon the invaluable liberties and privileges of Britons. We speak the sentiments of some of the best disposed men in the Country, in recommending to the attention of Government these considerations. We are prepared to heac the objedions of Mr. Fox to any precautions, but we eneft also to find; that the effect of his opposition will be, the more certain adoption of the measures which are the subject of his diSahAprobation.

Those who are in France upon their Parole, or separated from their Countrymen by any motive whatever, may address the Maritime Authorities, or, if in the Interior, the Civil Authorities, in order to obtain the Passports necessary for repairing to the Ports whence they are to return home. These Ports are Calais and Idarteilles. - The.
