THE SUN. lifiLEM QV'S DICERE FALSCIM AUDEAT, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST2O, 1817. The Paris Papers of Sunday last, which were due this morning, have nut come to band. It is somewhat hard in The British Press, after we have so positively stated that there was no foundation for the reports of a thisunderitanding between Great Britain and the Continental Pow ers, to require us to develope the secrets of other Governments. We are told by that Paper to-day, that while " we affect to discredit the possibility of a rupture between this country and Russia or Spain, we do not even pretend to deny that an Alliance may have been formed between these two Powers, which might seriously affect the in terests of this country and the safety of Eu rope."' Here The British Press ingeniously attempts to. put the change upon , ,tis, and imputes to us sentiments that we never uttered. We did not deny the possibility of alliances that might be hereafter injurious to this Country and Europe--e-for we never shall be so absurd as to attempt to measore.the pro.iett3 of ambition; we only _denied that unumicable negociations Ketailed at the present moment, or that it was fike/v that the general harniony . of the European Powers would be disturbed.- : :hut üby should we be called On to deny.that an Alliance may have really been formed between Spain and Russia. We never pretended . to that deep knowledge of the secrets of other Cabinets which has been so often professed by the Opposition Writers, and therefore, with so much knowledge and so much political sagacity, we ought rather to call upon them to tell us whether there is actually such an Alliance, and so, what are its objects, for surely nothing can be concealed from opposition übiquity. The Parliamentary Report on the SALT Du- TICS, which we commenced yesterday, is of so much interest and importance to Various classes of the Community, that we shall insert it, by de.- grecs, at length. The death if the Count de BARCA, first Mink ter of the King of PowruGAL, appears to have been followed by the appointment of a new Ad , ministration, the names or ,vhose Members we -here subjoin :—Thomas inthonio de Villa Nova, Prime Minister; Count Pawella, now Ambassa dor tst the Court of London,,Min ister for the Fo reign and War Department ; Count Dos Atcos (Governor of Bahia), Minister of Marine; M. Bezerro, the. department of the Treasury.—lt is reported.that the liew Ministry nre talitiltb the operations on the ltio la Plata with !wire vigour than was at any time displayed by their prede- CCS3OrS. A letter from St. Omer, in France, dated Aug. irtth, says :—" Two divisions of Infantry, about 9,000 strong, were reviewed by Sir 11. CLINTON On Thursday ; the sight was uncommonly grand, from the admirable state of discipline and equip ment. The 3d Brigade (Sic C. GRANT'S) of Ca valry, were reviewed op Friday last, consistin g 01 the 7th Hussars and 1 I th Light Dragoons, by Sir HENRY FAMIi, commanding the Cavalry in France. He was highly pleased with the excellent appear ance of both men and horses. - The Russian Ambassador and Suite have arrived in the Sandwich packet at Fahnouth, front the Court of Rio Janeiro. Ilia return is said to be in consequence of a misunderstanding between him and the Portuguese Government. A letter from Washington, of the 7th nit, po sitively antic/mimes the appointment of !fiction]) Rust], Esq. to succeed Mr. ADAMS, as Minister to the Court of London.

John he Negro, convicted of a rape, and who was to suffer with them, received a respite last night. An article from Lausanne, in a Fraud, Journal, quotes a letter from Geneva, asserting that there are in the latter city several English Methodists of high rank, who hold religious conferences, and circulate writings tending to render suspected the, doctrine' --preached- in• the. - templek ~of Genera they ate also charged with contributing to. lead astray the minds of those who have access to them. This carious statement is mixed up with another. mentioning the existence of a sect of ',Mystics' at Geneva, and of religious differences and disputes, which had led to the silencing, by authority, of some young Ecclesiastics ; but this part of the nar- • ratiye is so obscurely given, that the points which Inurcaused these altercations ate not in any_ man ner ,defined. stree It is stared from Berne, in a Paris Paper, that new Political German Journal, edited by Pro fessor 1-IELDNIANN,of Aran, had been established at Berne ; but after some nurrbers of it had been pit Wished, W the circulation o f it as suspended, at the desire of the Ministet of a Foreign Power.

WATERLOO BEILIGE.—A General Assembly of the Proprietors and Annuitants of this magnifi cent and useful Work•was.held on Thursday last, a r the Clown and Anchor, for the purpose of raising a sum of money to complete the grand rpmd to the Obelisk, and the smaller ones through Oakley-Street and toi - Stamford-street. Although much regret was expressed on account of th e unne cessary expence incurred with • a view to elegance and stability, the Company received some agree able information from the Chairman, Mr. SwANN. He assured them, • that after the road should be made, if the revenue from the tolls amounted to 23,0004 a year, the 500,000/. borrowed on an nuities, should be paid off. By this measure the Aundertaking will be entirely in the hatids of the Proprietors of the 1001. shares. Anti as, according toA moderate calculation, an income may be ex, ;fleeted of 4,000/. normally, or treble the present Amount, the Owners will he well remunerated.— The Assembly almost unanimously accepted the pr.Oposalof a loan of 60,0004 from Government, on,snortgage of the present toll. It , is expected that the. , t*iad& in question will be completed itz se4eln n or. eight months, if not sooner. fA,fpRocEMENT ON SHooTER'S HILL.—The culty xillia-carriages have continually_experien— ced in ascending this great elevation has long , been complained of.

The work is going forward on the eastern side of the hill, and is expected to befinished hi a few weeks. The - workmen take one half of the road longitu dinally, leaving the other half for passengers, until . the new half-shall - be convicted, after which the - completion of the next will follow. This part has been separated _by a railing, which has been put up for the protection' of travellers. The sailing and proceeding to Brighton, of the- Oyal, Sovereign ,yacht bas been countermanded.

[EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM AN ENGLISH' GEN- TLEIVIAN IN PARIS.] " A short time back the Allied Ministers here were called together to consider another applica tion from the French Government for a further reduction of the Army of Occupation. The re presentation was so strong as to cause consider able difference of opinion among the Ministers - present. The Duke of WELLINGToN did not at tend ; but, after the meeting terminated, he was consulted as to the propriety of acceding to the request. The answer of his Grace was, I am assured, in substance this :—That he wont(' not be responsible for .the withdrawing any of the troops then in France ; but that if a reduction was in tended, it would be better to withdra w the whole at once, than leave a force Which wonld cease to he imposing if further diminished. This answer was considered decisive, and the application of the French Government was for the present refused.-- 'The Day and New•7'imes ) Bur
