We received yesterday the Paris Papers of Thursday Lst. Those of Friday, which, were due this morniug, have not conle to hand. The ac count s from time interior of France relate only to the price of grain, which has again fallen, and to the cmms►ling harvest; respecting the abundance of which time most confident anticipations are made. The Pienna Court Gantlet of the 14th instant, contains the detail of the late events in the Brazils ; but without any other remark, than that the in surrection did not appear to have extended beyond Pernambuco. The Princess Royal of l'ortugul iir.rived at Florence . 001 the 13th instant, Th'i V'ertnguese squadron s which is to take her Highness on board, bad not at that period ►ar tiveilat Leghorn. One of the Journals quotes a letter front Bayonne,staiing, on the authority of a travelkr from Poittigal, that the tonspirary discovered at Lisbon had ramifications in several Provinces of Portugal, and that there had been some arrests at Coimbra atter a setionS tumult. It Is added, that several English Ofticeri, who served in the Portu guese army,bad been assasitinited s but this report there is every reason to believe it tinfootitleil. The Puerta of the Emperor of Austria has been published in Gallicia, for the establishment of a representetive Constitution in Gallicia, Lodomeria, and the Bukowine. This Constitution is stated to be the result of an agreement between the Powers iutercs:cd in the affairs of Poland, and wider which also, all the States and Provinces hereto fore forming part of that Kingdom, are to have representative Constitutions. The Diet of Frankfort have unanimously agreed upon a Resolution declaring the Confederation of Germany a free and independent Power, having authority to send to and receive from other States, Ministers in the usual form ; and by subsequent artieks it is reiolved to notify to all the Powers of Europe, and to the United States of America, that the Diet is constituted as above stated, with the following form of 'annunciation :—" The Germanic Confederation, and its name the Minister of Aut. tile, President of the Diet."

Neither of thin get round, but arc expected this tide.-- There have been several arrivals from the States since my last. " Ten o'clock.--The Pacific has arrived in 22 days from Nov Furl:." The Amendment made by the House of Com mons to the Habeas Corpus Suspension BtH will be taken into consideration by the House of Lords this day; and it is expected that the Bill will im mediately after receive the Royal Assent by Com mission.—The present Suspension Act expires to morrow, the Ist of July. Upon the recent discussion of the Suspension Bill, certain considerations force themselves powetfolly on our mind. Its continuance was proposed by the Ministers to be fixed until six weeks after the meeting of the next Session. The opposition required it to be fixed for the first day of December. And, rather curiously, they urged for this positive period the very reasons which justified a contingent limitation. These jealous protectors of our Constitution forget, in their watching and warding for the People, 'the at least eqUal rights of the Sovereign. Constitutionally, liberty and prerogative are co-ordinate. In sea -30118 of tranquillity their balance should be main tained ; in seasons of danger it must be reduced, and the reduction must be on that side whence the danger arises. Are we endangered now by the licentiousness of the People, or by the tyranny of the Crown By the firmer certainly. Two 'branches of the Legislaturchave recogiiiss this fact. Yet, to disable this popular danger, our Patriots would limit the regal power ! They desired that the Sovereign should be ob liged to do those acts at a particular time which the law has left in his own will : to accelerate the Session of Parliament, or to postpone its dis solution. Or they would, and perhaps rather, that the legal restriction upon popular mischief might have expired, while no power was in ex istence which could continue it. And this, no mutter how essential its continuance to the safety of the State. Only a small share of 'wisdom is needed to detect anti to defeat this manoeuvre. Yet many subordinate experiments were also to be guarded against. The Suspension was desired to be us imperfect as the Marriage Act ; whose efficacy, like a wizard's power, is lust by cross ing a stream. And, as love-sick minors may ruits theniselVes on t'ot lie; side the Tweed, so desperate demagogues wished to overturn the State-by passing Berwick bridge. It would have been wise indeed, to leave one clear spot for the lever of sedition to be worked upon / Z,---to transfer the machination from England to Sentient!, until its completion should be able to destroy both I-- Wheresoever Treason may contrive its mischief, •thither it most be pursued, and there it must be extinguished', The Opposition love a dilemma' clearly.--If many persons had been iiiiprisoned under the Suspension Act, it Lsoald have been denounced as cruel : since its operation affected only afew, it is censured as unnecessary. These Gentlemen are nut to be pleased anyhow. Or we would put the dilemma thuS :-;.-The ex; tent of the Suspension would prove its necessity while the (infrequency of its exercise has proved its safety. And as for the precedent whtreof they are so afraid for other - times and ministers--,sore ly the Empire is not to be ruined now for fear of the remote possibility of future ruin. The argument lies in a nutshell.--The Suspen sion, while limited to particular cases, and con fided to particular hands, cannot affect the general liberty, Where it is not exercised, it will oot be Mt :—and where it is•exereised, it will be wanted. Therefore,. we shall rejoice when this salutary measure 'has received the sanction 9f the two Houses and to find that it is continued to a time which will neither - controul the prerogatives of the Crown, nor render its avowed purpose Una* SIERRA LEONE, MAY 12. . Accounts of rather all unpleasant nature have lust reached us - rrom CaptairrCAMSBELL:, cam triandtng the Expedition in the interior : he has t• been stopped tame time past, about 200 miles srli .the river Rio Noonez, by the natives, in copse (pence ot, the country he wishes to pass throng') being at %val., with those he is now with ; be has lost nearly all cattle, And a great number of men, and is afraid they will be obliged to return, HS it is now almost impossible they will be able to reach any place of shelter before the rainy sea son Sets in. lam afraid, also, that all comMuni- Cation between Captain C. and Sierra Leone is cut eft by the following circumstance :—Colonel AllCatrenv, Governor of Sierra Leone, having received intelligence of two.. vessels, supposed Aniericans, under Spanish colours, taking in . slaves; dp the . river Rio Noonez, at the town, whOse Chief has always been considered as a staunch friedd of the English and the Abolition, and the very Maki by whose means all correspond ence between - us and the Eapedition has hitherto been kept up. 11e is a powerful, Chief and a well informed man, having been educated in Eeglatid, and, I may say; alWays been in.the Etigliih pay ; that is, receiving valuable presents from tithe to time front the Governor. The Colonial brig was sent to ascertain whether it was so. On liet rival, finding it was the case, a message was sent to this Chief, requesting his assistance, if neces sary, in capturing these vessels (a brig and schooner, well manned cod armed), who appa rently seemed determined to make 4 desperate .resistance ; he not only refused, but sent word to say, that if attacked he would protect them to the utmost of his power ; notwithstanding they were attacked the same evening, and carried in the most gallant manner. On.gaining possession, the vessels lying nearly alongside the hank of the river, the Commander of the Colonial brig, find-• ing himself completely exposed to the liatiVg2, , who assailed him on all sides with musquetry, arrows, &c. was obliged, in his own defence, to turn the guns of the vessels upon them ; the con sequence was, that in. the morning the banks of the river were .covered with dead. The vessels have since arrived at Sierra Leone. This unfor tunate occurrence taking place before the Expe dition are out of his territories, 'he no doubt will revenge himself by annoying them—we are all afraid so. .. The Colony of Sierra Leone is improving. Won dertnlly ;'dings are seen rising 'in all direc• dons (thzruks to the indefatigable exertions of the present Governor) ; but 1 am sorry to add, the Slave Trade is still carried on all around us as bad as ever, even worse. We are informed that the French carry it on openly, both at Senegal and Gem. Our harbour is crowded with prizes taken carrying on this horrible traffic : a large ship arrived a few days back, prize to his Ma jesty's ship Cherub, Captain Ftsuca, with 500 slaves on board. The Cherub had also taken u French schoner, after a sharp contest, in which she, lost several Officers and men. The schooner was, I am sorry to state, wrecked on the Island of Annabona, on her passage to Sierra Leone, and the whole of the crew, consisting of two Of ficers and several seamen and marines of the Che rub (besides some prisoners that remained on board), were poisoned by the Natives. Three transports arrived at Sierra Leone on the 9th May, and sailed on the 13th, with detach ments of the African Corps on board, for the Cape,' under the agency of Lient. PRITCHARD, R. N. All communications grotti various parts of the kingdom concur in giving• the most cheering ex pectations of a bountiful 14reest. From the re cent iniprovement . in the weather, grain of all de scriptions has consequently fallen, in price during the last week '•. Wheat from 18 tO , 2o , lW,llings.---. We therefore look to the favourable Operation of comparative plenty and lower prices, to appease much of the dissatisfaction prevailing in the.coun, try. With a good season we may expect the same good effects on the Continent, Some of the private accounts received from Sp, t,in state, that the grants finance plan, projected by .the Minister GattAY, is not to be carried into exe cution till January 1818: This delay, it - is' said, originates in the opposition of the igoblei and High Churchmen, , who, will be most affected by its being put into execution ; and, in the mean time, it is .expected that the Minster himself will lose hi,s place.
