AU DEAT LONDON, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1817. We received this 'morning the Paris Papers of Tuesday last. They state that neither in the Jour pals of Marseilles, nor in the Letters from thence, received at Paris, was there any mention made of the reported Revolution at Algiers. The follow ing are extracts : " I'Aazs, OCT. 14.—The King received yester •day, after mass, several Lieutenant-Generals, and lareehaux de Camp on hall-pay. The Duke de Richelieu then transacted hitiness with his Ma jesty. In the evening the King received Ladies. " The Count de Kotschoubey, Privy Coun cillor of the Emperor of-Russia who is at pre sent at Rome, has been presented to his Holiness, who received him very graciously. " The accounts from Rome of the 27th ult. state, that a Courier Extraordinary had arrived there from Paris, with 32 Proces-verbaux d'infur vations, respecting that number of French Bishops who were to be promoted at the Cousistory of the Ist instant. " The Count de Rostopschin, after passing some time in Germany, is returned to Paris. " It is said that Lieutenant-General the Baron -Ledrti Desessart succeeds Lieutenant-General Ca noel at Lyons. " Madame de Rottener has not arrived at Paris, Is reported, nor is she coming. We learn ft orn the Journal de 'Colmar that this prophetess ar 'rived on the 30th ult. at Biesheim, a Commune in the Arrondissement of Colmar, on the bank of - the Rhine. She came from Old Brisach, in the Duchy of Baden. She was accompanied by her daughter, two other women, the son of one of them, and a young man, who acts as her 'Secretary, and followed by fifty-five paupers of both sexes, and different ages, natives of -Germany and Switzerland, who are proselytes to -the new Missionary. Madame de Krudener and the persons accompanying her were furnished with Russian passports, purporting that, by order of the Emperor, they might proceed where -ever they thought proper. These passports were delivered the 16th (28th) June, 1815, at Spire, ci-devant department of Mont Tounerre. The 55 paupers hada collective passport, without designa ting their names or descriptions, delivered the nay of their journey by the Grand Bailiff of Old Bri sach, in the • form of an invitation to let them pass with Maclaine de Krudener and her suite through the department of Haut Rhin, in order to proceed to Porentrny, in Switzerland. Ma dame de Krudener arrived at Colmar the 3d in stant, but her passports not being legally avail able, she was enjoined by the Prefect to quit the French territory in twenty-four hours. The prophetess repassed the Rhine on the 4th, and returned to Old Brisath, in order to proceed by another route to Porentruy, but by orders of the Badese Ministry, which arrived by estatette at Old Brisach, she is provisionally detained in that town, under the surveillance of the Authorities, separated from her suite, and even from her domestics, and is not suffered to have any communication with the inhabitants of the country. " A Letter from Riiodez states, that Madame Constant Rabot, who was called as a witness re specting the assassination of M. Fnaldes, now says, that both Madamoiselle Rose rierret, an d iNiadatne Manson, were.at the house of Baileel when the murder was committed. The for mer; on the arrival of the assassins, hid her self under a bed in the kitchen, and went e-,Vay when they had left the house. Madame Manson, in male attire, was, according to the 3ame statement, pushed into a eh:Set. After the murder, Bastide proposed tO pla c e the c o rpse in the closet, and entering it he found Madame j Manson, whom he at first supposed to be a man. He dragged her into the kitchen, and was about to stab her, when she declared who she was.— Jausion, who had been sentinel at the door, re turning, took her under his protection. A slip of paper was delivered to her with these words, It you speak, you will perish either by the sword or poison.' He then topk her by the arm and led her away. FRENCH FIVE PER CENTS. Monday . 6:5 f. 30 c. " VIENNA, OCT. 3.—According to . the last in telligence from Semlin, the Servian Commandant, Biacbta, who caused to be beheaded Czerny Georges, a General in the service of Russia, is to be delivered over to that Lower by order of the Sublime Porte, in compliance with the demand which has been made. It is thought, however, that the Commandant will find means to make his escape into the interior of Turkey. " Great preparations were making at Semlin for the reception of the Emperot' and Empress of Austria. " HANOVER, SEPT. 30.—The Duke of Cam bridge will set out in a few days for East Fries land and Osnaburg, with M. de Bremer, Minister of Justice, and the Supreme Councillor of Justice, Roscher, to receive, in the name of the Prince Regent, the oaths of fidelity and homage of those Provinces. " FRANKFORT, OCT. B.—The Emperor of Aus tria lately invited the Senate of this free city to accede to the Treaty of Holy Alliance. The act of accession has, in consequence, been this day delivered to M. de Handel, Aulic-Councillor. " FLORENCE, SEPT. Dd.—They write from Vi terbo, the 26th instant, that on the Monday pre ceding, which was the day of the Fair of St. Mat thew, there was a violent storm there : thelightning struck in the fair, and killed an ox and a horse." A Letter received from Baltimore this morning, by way of Havre, dated Sept. 10, states, that the crops of Cotton are very bad, owing to the freshet, which had been so destructive to that article in Georgia and South Carolina. The in jury done in all parts of the States where this article grows is considered immense, and great fears were entertained that there wonhl not he a quarter of au average crop. The Wheat Harvest was a most abundant one : Flour was at Sf i - dol lars per barrel. It is added ; that there remained but a few bales of this year's crop of Cotton on hand, and for which 33 cents pci pound were rc fused by the holders, the Cotton Planters baying become so rich that they will not sell but at their own prices. It has been said, and perhaps truly said, tha t " nothing hut the Army of Occupation has, for the last thirteen months, prexented a civil war in France, as bloody as that of La Vendee." The Chronicle, adverting to this assertion, says, " We trust France is not always to be held under by an Army of Occupation." No ; but as long as such' au army is necessary for the security of other States, and the general peace . ,of Europe.—From what we bear, and we do not speak upon light authority, the Army of Occupation is likely to remain ouit3 post for a considerable period be yond the 61114: generally understood to fix the ter mination of its service ; and, indeed, when we see what men hare been exalted into power in France, and consider the characters of those worthless wretches, such as BENJAMIN CONSTANT, LA FAYETTE, and others, who aspire after power, and who became Traitors to- their lawful Mo narch when the Usurper returned, must it not be supposed that the state of France renders it ne cessary for other Governments to guard against danger, and what can so effectually guard them as the army which restrains Innovators, Traitors, and Rebels, from spreading mischief, disordering the public mind in all countries, and tending to the subversion of all legitimate'authority ? The paragraph in our Paper of yesterday, re specting THE TEST intended to be imposed by THE PAPISTS on the Candidates at the next General Election, has drawn forth an elaborate comment from The British Press of this day, ivhich we have not room to answer At present, but shall resume the subject. The British Press asks, '' What is the expedient which the Editor Ot . THE SUN pro poses in opposition to the Test ?" Why simply this—a Counter Test from all the Protestant Elec tors Of every sect and denomination, if THE PAPISTS have the hardihood to propose, THEIR TEST. The British Press says, our paragraph l . ` ex presses the determination of the ANTI-CATHOLIC part of the Cabinet, which, we regret to find, i s the influential part of that Council, upon the sub- ject atilt ensuing General Election." We believe that the people in general, who, we trust, are staunch Protestants, differ from The British Press, and not only rejoice to find that such is the determination of the ANTI-CATHOLIC part of the Cabinet, but feel much disappointed if they do nut find the whole of the Cabinet determined to respect THE FEELINGS of the House of BauNs- WICK, in a firm resistance of all further Catholic pretensions, and a resolute support of our happy Establishment In CHURCH and State. If it were possible to give credit to the insinua tions of The Morning Chronicle, Ministers have directed The Courier to cast " unqualified censure" on the conduct of, RusSia, respecting the fate of CZERNY GEORGES,' for The Chrolliele says it sus pects, " from the manner in which The Courier has thought proper to take up this subject, that Government have their own suspicions with re spect to the intentions of Russia," People who do not understand Newspaper Policy, may be simple enough to believe, that there is some fowl-. dation for this charge against Government,which, in fact, has probably no other object than, for reasons not difficult. to understand, to pug' 74,he Courier, and to make the Public believe that it en joys so much of the confidence of Ministers, as to be entrusted with their wishes to abuse a Government with which this Country is upon the most amicable footing. None but an idiot, one would think, could believe that Ministers would so far commit themselves, particularly too as the present Conductors of The Courier, whatever may be their abilities, are but new in their office,' so that Ministers can know little, if any thing, of them, and would hardly be rash enough to confide such a.trencherous mission to strangers. Yet, as Ministers can never condescend to contradict the infamous insinuated charge against them of giving directions tp Newspaper Writers: to abuse a friendly Government, the charge may possibly gain some Believers. We cautioned The Courier against giving encouragement to the of en 2»ity of The Chronicle, lest it might- be supposed that there exists a secret connexion between two Public Prints apparently " wide as the Poles asunder" in their political principles and purposes. The Courier must now see the propriety of our caution, for if it remains silent on The Chronicle's insinuated charge, it twill seem to give sanction to a heavy accusation against the British Govern ment, and though our Rulers cannot themselves be expected to stoop to a denialof having acted in such a manner towards Russia, yet it the accusation should reach the Russian Cabinet, it might have an unfavourable operation, and tend to disturb the harmony between the two Countries. our part, we are persuaded, that if Ministers saw any reason for alarm or jealousy, as to the move ments or designs of Russia, they would act upon principles of a more dignified policy than to direct a Newspaper to open the flood-gates of-ahnse against the Government of that country. Such is the effect of injudicious friendship. The Morning Chronicle, in thus attempting to make the world suppose that Government would stoop so low as to dfrect The Courier to defame an Allied Power, and thereby induce a belief that The Courier is peculiarly intrusted with Ministerial confidence, may rather excite a doubt whether it possesses any confidence at all. But to make the matter still more perplexing to The Courier, a day or two ago it asserted, that notwithstantl- For ing the naval armament at Revel, and the report ed alarming dispatch from Lord CiSTEICART, we are upon the best terms with Russia. Nothing has occurred since to prove that the assertion is it}-founded. The Courier either bad authority for that statement, or it had not.. Now then, if it had authority, is it to he supposed, that in a day or two after Ministers would order it to abuse the very Power which it had just before been directed to affirm was in the most perfect harmony with this country. If it had not authority, what must be thought of the attempts of The Chronicle to insinuate The Courier into such a reputation for Ministerial confidence Again, if it had autho rity, what must be thought of a Ministry that could thus blow hot oad cold, committing its . reputa tion, and hazarding the. peace of li.urope? . Thedig- nificd characters who compose the present Admi nistration preclude the possibility of supposing that the whole of this matter is the result of any thing but IVewspaper artifice, at once insidious, ridiculous, and contemptible, PROVINCIAL JOURESALS.-it is highly gratifying to us to find that our plan of transferring the sentiments of the public Journals throughout the country is universally approved. The Empire at large is, by these weans, informed of the princi ples and feelings which prevail in all its various dirtriets, and it thereby enabled to form a gene ral estimate of the opinions of the great body of the People. The Journals themselves could only have a limited operation, within the immediate circle of their publication but the respectivC Conductors now find, that, by means of THE SUN, their sentimms and views are diffused all over the Country. Ti►is plan must be particularli gratifying► to Lrattlon Readers, who rarely had an opportunity of seeing Provincial Journal, btlf now are able, by perusing THR SUN, to know thc political contents of all. We can assure oid . Readers, that many Conductors of Country re pens have been so struck with the utility of the plan, that they have sent to us their Journak it the hope of having their sentiments known to the community at large. Another very important ad' vantage results from this plan, for it will discoti' rage factious Reformers from , the hope of being able to spread their baneful d'i;etrines, shake 'thf foundation of our happy Establishment, and turb the tranquillity of the Empire, ilut though we certainly never shall take extracts frotli seditious Journals, of which we rejoice to sal that there are comparatively very few in the Em' pire, yet we shall not hesitate to notice the nions of those Provincial Papers which maintain $ spirit of manly independence, and are loyal to the Constitution, but not slavishly devoted to Ministers , Such, we presume to say, is the character of TH$ SUN, and such it shall remain, giving a firm sup' port to Government, but not degrading itself in the estimation of - our countrymen by mean sub' mission and servile acquiescence. Extract of a Private Letter just received from Lisbon, Sept. 26, 1817. In addition to the account of the Condemnatioll of General GOMEN FRIERE DE A NDRADE i it stated that the Charges against Baron EARN have not been fully substantiated, and that his punish° ment will not be capital. The Proceedings at Derby yesterday, and the conclusion of those of Wednesday, are inserted iv our Last Page.

The Cabinet Ministers appear to have some itn. portant and urgent State business under couside" ration, which has prevented Lord CAsat.saaAGEl from going to Dover Castle, as he had arrange A Cabinet Council was summoned to meet 0 0 Wednesday by Lord CASTLEREAGH, which assetw bled at half-past • two o'cldek, and continued deliberation till • half-past four. it was attentie t by Lord CASTLEREAGH, the Earl of LivEttro o " the CHANCELLOR of the EXCH . ECIVRI4, Viscount SZITMOUTH, Earl BATHURST, and Mr. Cmksurrc• —Another Cabinet Council was summoned by Lord CASTLEREAGH to meet yesterday at two o'clock at the Foreign Office. The Earl of Lwow . POOL, previous to his attending the Council, bats an audience of the PRINCE REGENT at Carlton. house, at one, which lasted .near an hour ; the Noble Earl then proceeded to the Foreign Office. The Council was attended by the same Ministers as that held on Wednesday, except Viscount Sio- D7OLTTII, who was prevented from attendin!,./ by indisposition. The C ounc il sa t till fi ve , arid after it broke up the result was communicated to the PRINCE REGENT at Carlton-house.—(Morning Chronicle.) • The Panicc REGENT returned to town on Wea. nesday, evening from Claremont, from his visit to the Princess CHARLOTTE and Prince LEOPOLD. We are extremely sorry to learn, that the Rev , Dr. PERNEY, Domestic Chaptain to the Eati of COVENTRY, was seized with a ,fit of apoplexy on Sunday, the sth instant, while he was in church. He now lies at Croome, his Lordship's seat, near Worcester, in the most alarming state, receiving all possible attentiou from the family of-the noble and hospitable Earl, to whotn he has long bey endeared by his talents, his virtues, his faithful and unintermitted - atieution and attachment. - On Sunday afternoon, the Earl of WulTwoaTlf and . the Duchess of DoaseT arrived at Downshirc-' House, Hillsborough, the seat of the Marquis of bowNsuitte, on their way to Donaghadee, whert they were most splendidly and hospitably enter tained ; and on Monday the truly amiable and noble pair proceeded on their journey.—(Dublifs Correspondent, Oct. 14.) - We have recei ve d information from Plymouth, which may be implici:ly relied on, that the mer cantile and trading interest of that port, after s full investigation and tine consideration -of the merits of the proposed Canal between Arundel and Ports-mouth, - have been- so perfectly - con vinced of its great utility in a national point of view, and of the facility which it will afford to ' their own intercourse with the metropolis, as well as to the other western ports, that three hundred shares were almost immediately snbscrib. ed for and taken, and others wet e hourly applied for. We heartily congratulate the subscribers OM this very prosperous state of their affairs, for there can he no. doubt that when fully explained and duly understood, that an undertaking which af fords so many commercial facilities with the metropolis will meet with liberal encouragement, and, consequently, that the shares will in all prd liability soon bear a considerable . premium. We also congratulate the public at large on the more than probable expectation which ay now be rea sonably entertained of the speedy completion . of this great national undertaking, and that we do not over-rate its advantages will be allowed by all who were acquainted with thealangers, the dill' ctrlties, and the delays of a sea- -communication. between the metropolis and the Channel ports, and of the infinite importance, in.war time, of a safe, speedy, anti certain conveyance. of military and naval stores, from the great depto on the 'Thames, to the must important naval arsenals in the Empire.—(Hampshire Chronicle) i ~ ' DI ti 1► tt
