The Swiss Diet and , the Directorial Government have invited all the Cantons in consequence to order all the French ' exiles to quit the Swiss territories.

The state of p eace and tranquillity which prevails at this motnent in all France,where the public spirit daily improves, calls for a measure so wise and so politic.— The. visit of the King of Prussia to Paris, wh er e the Duke of Welliugton also is, gives rise to va rious Conjectures ; but as the true reasons are wholly unknown, it wou ld b e useless, and even unimportant, to state the reports on the sub ject ; numeroes furloughs continue to he given in the English Army ; the subalt erns and privates daily tinbark at Calais ; th e few recruits scarcely make a fourth part of those who go away; all those circumstances prove the harmony and good understanding that subsist between France and En;:tlttml, et,cl It OW tiemly believed peace an d oyd er are ectabli s h e d oil a solid bAstl. linussELs, AttG. 16.—The taking into active service the Officers on half-pay has had so favoni•- able an Effect titi the mincls of the military, tb:it those who tkvo years ago obstinately relmsed tit serve under the prts.mt 'Government are now very hippy to be engaged.

Yesterday and this morning we received the Paris Papers of Thursday am: Friday last. From the former we give Extracts in.ano:ber column.— Amongst them is a paragraph from the Gazette de France, stating, a 4 a report, that the Count de CAPo D' IsTaxa, Mr. LAMB, the Count tle CARA MAU, the Prince de METTattNICW, and the Prince de HARDENBEIZG, are about to assen►hle at Carls had, and that they will be occupied with the atfiits of the Spanish Colonies, and the - discussions he. tween Spain and Portugal. This stateme , lt is proba bly little more than an echo ofthe rumours which have been for some time past circulating here. If, however, there is any foundation for the report, it will be seen with great satisfaction, that it is coupled with an assurance, that all the power: are actuated by the desire of maintaining tranquil following are extracts from the Jour nals of Friday : " PAttts, AuG. 22.—T0-morrow being the day of St. Lads, Leis ?blajesty will 'review tlie different Corps of the Royal Guards at Paris, and in the surrounding garrisons. " The Electors of Paris are to be divided into 20 Electoral Assemblies. It is understood that some days before the elections, instructions will be given for the recapitulation of the operations of these different sections, in order to arrive at a definitive result, which is the nomination of eight deputies. Amongst the Presidents of these sections are men tioned, MM. Roi, Breton, Bellart, Try, Lafitte, and. Raymond Delaitre, all members of the Cham ber of 1816, for the department of the Seirte. " A letter from Dole (Jura) states a new in stance of the audacity of the wolves this year : one of these animals, on the llth instant, seized and devoured a girl of seven years of age, who W2S keeping sheep in a ►wood in the Canton of Chansin. " Yesterday the King received, after - MSS, M. Brancadoro, the Euv9y of the Pope. There are two other Envoys.

" Wednesday " Thursday " VIENNA, AUG. 10.—Their Imperial Majes ties will retun► here sooner than was expected, on account of the pregnancy of the Empress. " burg, JULY s.—The departure front Madrid of two battalions of Spanish and Walloon Guards, and their march towards the frontiers of. Portugal, has given Ilse to all kinds of reports. The in vasion of Portugal is confidently talked of. It appears, however, that Gallicia and the Kingdom of Leon are filled - with banditti, accustomed to ii:e fiill44e n'lite!' in 'the desolated the cciontry - , and it is intended by means of vigo,.oos ulerthires to destroy I heni:' .3ani pica I ; Ai)ers t o th e 15th Jt4 arrived this inoinin t , T : the . ) , contain no newi liatevtr the Spanish The following are extracts [Pivot the Royal Gazelle] " KINGsI OV, 'JAMAICA, JUNE 2s.—The schooner Eugenio, Tamnbo, which salted from Port-Royal on Saturday- far the City of Santo-Domin 20, we are sorry to state, ❑nfortti.nately upset in a squall on Sunday tArtiing, off Mw ant Buy. her crew were picked up by a boat from the ship RuO, Captain G.sr, and taken on board that Vessel, from Whence they ar virtud in this city on Tuesday afternoon. • ' 6 KIXOSTUS:, JAMAICA, JULY 5.—S . Ve Were m!sinfdrined when we stated in our last that the Tyrian brig, of 10 gtins, Captain Polutsm, had arrived on Friday se'nnight, after seeing the Venezuelian schooner Condor clear of the coast. It was the Beaver, of 10 gtins, Captain DUFF, from Santa- Martha, but the"Tyrian also canoe into port on Saturday. " The Esk post-sloop, of 20 guns, Captain LENNoes, sailed fraut Port-Royal on Monday morning for Carthagena, in search of a person who has committed some criminal act in this city, and afterwards proceeded to that place. " The ship Fame, Smyth, for London ; brig Dille of Wel lington, Chancellor, for Bermuda; sloop New-Loudon, Pratt, for . Pritteipi ; Carvd, Anderson, for the Turtling• Keys; Ro bert,, Levy, for Falmouth; Friends, M'Lean, for Salt-Marsh; Caroline, Randall, for Lucca ; and Thomas, James, fur Black River, have•sailed•front Montego Bay. " KINGSTON; .WiAte.l ; JULY' t2.—On 9 aturday the Endea t;our feil in with the brigantine Deco4verte, bound for Car thßgena, and, about fifty miles astern, spoke the Ey.4 post sloop, of 20 guns, under a heavy press of sail, in Chace of her. The Endeavour informed Captain LENNocri of then hating spoken her, and it was most probable she would overtake her before getting into the above port. The Decouverte is the vessel which we wentioned in our last the Eak had been sent in pursuit of. " By the passengers in the Velo: we learn, that the %Wire frigate of 4t guns, Captain CARTERET, with 8 Spanish user cl:antinem.o uder her protection, anchored - off th'e Moro Castle, riaraimab, on the 13th ult., and that the frigate sailed the same afternoon for Port-Royal." Eitedri the Jars air;: Courant of Jltly B.] " We understand that the Commandant at Santa-Martha intimated to Captain Dupe, of Majesty's brig Beaver, Atilt!) , after he had anchored, his wish that he would leare that port.immediately, in consequence of an order lately issued by the Viceroy of New Granada, prohibiting the entrance of British men of war into the harbours of that Viceroyalty." We are honoured, we perceive, with a tong tirade in The Morning Chronicle of this day on the subject of Spai►►, but as The Chronicle has not ven-_ tured to deny any of our facts, and has founded its reasoning Oil its own misconceptions, it is not neces sary that we shot!(( it this moment enter into any elaborate comment. The fact is, that what we said was in answer to the erroneou s statem en t s of The Chronicle, and as what we said did not admit of contradiction, The Chronicle was thrown off its guard, and was somewhat ruffled in its temper. The Chronicle, contrary to all practice between s'ates, seems to consider the preliminary Lases of a treaty, which bbd never gone any further, as binding as a treaty itself. Where it learned such national policy we know not. Certainly not ip any book or in any national practice. Instead of entering into the state of thing* at the present moment, Tice Chronicle goes some years back, and refers to what passed between Mr. CANNING and Admiral APODACA, which has nothing to do with the subject in hand. As to the confiscation of the three Spanish frigates, The Chronicle does not seem to be at all conver sant with the history of that business. It had been agreed upon between this Country . and Spain that the property belonging to both shouid be mutually restored. Spain had confiscated the property of British Merchants, as it always does of property belonging to any other State, the moment a War has commenced. Sppin did not restore the property in questitin after repeated applications, and therefore the three frigates were• seized, RF some indemnity, and but a small one, for the British Merchants. But we shall mosi probably resume this subject to-morrow, and hi . ' the menu time we would advise The Chronicle to keep its temper; and to acquire 'better :Igor mation. We must make one remark, how-, ever, before we close the- matter for to-day. The ChrOnitle says, " to the remarks we made - on Thursday, respecting the present state of' our relations with Spain, The Courier pleased "tri etr7. saver by a ridiculous attempt at a quiz, but on Sa turday he returns to the charge in a graver tone, aided by THE Sus," eic. Now, not having ;teen T of the d a y s a ll u d e d to . b y Tire e Chronicle,rieron ev %ile e l' kt r iove not how pleasant was itA . quiz, Nor what it said in '' a gr'wer tone," but this we know, that TIL E SUN had no intention of aiding it, nor was it possible that .The Courier could derive its information or its reasoning frOM the same quarter as THE SUN, which we may ven ture to say has its own resources, von, which it can fully depend for authentic intelligence,. e nd upon which its obsertions are substantially found ed.
