'Die Paris Papers of Saturday last, which were due this morning; have not come to hand. New Volk Papers to, the 4th instant arrived this morning. The following are extracts : " New YoaK, JULY I.—The British ship Vit toria has arrived at Charleston from Kingston, with 100,000 dollars ih specie. We learn by the ketch Maria, that the Pa triots had evacuated the Island of Marearetta, for the purpose of forming a junction with the toms on the River Oronoko. New Volt K, JUNE 24.—( Barcelona retaken by the Patriuts.)—Capt. SMITH, of the schooner Young Spartan, who arrived at Baltimore on Fri— day, in IG days from Margaretta,-informs, that shortly after sailing accounts were received of the Patriots haying retaken Barcelona, and were in possession of Lagnira and Caraccas. All the Vatriot fleet had left Margaretta for the Ororsrko, Avbere BotAvatt was concentrating his forced.— The Patriots had little doubt of driving the Royalists before them. " CHAIMISSTON, JUNE 21.—Extract of a Letter from Fernandina, received in this city, dated 14'h We are all in confusion here—as some days figo we received an express from Savannah, inform jug .us to a certainty that Sir GREGOR M`GBEG(bH ivoidt: be here in H few deys to co-operate with tnoveil off all my calulible goods. We have boats ready. to carry otr our lainilks, as we expect BRIoN every moment. I am sorry to say we cithuot amake any resistance if a large force come., in.' Extract of a Letter from St. Mary's, dated the 14th inst. " There are f.ur large Carthageoian vessels now lying oil Amelia. The inhabiLanzs are re- moving to St. i‘lkiry's in const quence." Extract of a Letter from St. Thomas's, dated June 25. " Business is not brisk here ; Flour is selling at 163.—We have not beard lately from ('a t► lot Privateers, but suppose then► to be cruiziug about the Main. Tbe Spanish squadipn is .at L3giiira." As %ye find that what we said respecting the reported influence of the RUSSIAN CABINET over the PUBLIC PIALSS of the NETHERLANDS has becu thought to have been communicated to us by ont n Government, we deem it necessary to declare, that we did not deriVe our intelligence from that The .report Russia had this Inf.lti 'epee has for sante time prevailed on the Continent, source. and is by no weans supposed to be contiued to the journals of the Netherlands. It has teen been in,inuat edabroad that, tinder cover of the roinutfr-, ed attempts of the IIouNAPARTISTS dispersed over various parts of Europe,' to regain their power, the Russian .Cabinet has endeavoured to sow divisions Among the several Governments of Eu- tope, and, in particular, to excite jealousy against the eottonnter ci iI iu►portance of Great Britain. As a proof that the report alluded to respecting this supposed Russian Hlicy really existed, we hare only to refer to The Anti- Galilean Monitor, which noticed this report so►ne months ago, and has adverted to it in, screral succeeding numbers. We must, however, though we conceive that the Edi tor of ►hat Paper knows more of the real state of the Continent, and is more likely to be better informed of the operations and aims of the respective Governments, than the Conductors of any other Journals of this Country, vet we must repeat-, not-only our doubts, but our belief that the tnag►►animous ALEXANDER would never tele ' rate such insidiows practices, but would endeavour to advance the in►erests of hi! vast Empire by a more liberal at►d en;ight coed policy. We resume the Legal Proceedings in Yorkshire of Saturday last, the subntance of which was ex clusively given in this rapvr of yesterday. - As we yesterday observed, the facts were decisively proved, though the pritoncts were acquitted. 1. appeared iu evidence, that shots were fired, and consequently that the lives of loyal and innocent Wien De ere endati L erei by a Band of Rioters, who, it they nal not_ been opposed by a part of the Yeomanry Cavalry, might have gathered,stiength, and have excited disturbances of a More alarming The Tilies of this day has nature and tendency. the following pissage in relation to this subject : " It will now be perceived that the h'ire•and carnage Itiot, about which so much talk was made, though certainly most illegal and reprehen sible, wxs a thing so little calculated w overthrow the Commonwealth, that it was appeased by the bare apprehension of a patrole of six men retiring to fetch up a greater force."—Not to stop at. the delicate words illegal and reprehensible, as applied to a band of Ruffians latent upon the most atro•- eions deeds, we are surprised at the narrow, or specious view, %shieh the Times thus takes of the matter. It is to be observed, that the time of actio►► was so dark, that it was difficult to see Lave distinctly the state of. affairs. The six loyal r►eJ could not estimate the number of the Rioters, 1 1 and one or tNV 0 of them could only forth a rough guess. The same darkness Must have prevented theltioters from forming a just conception of -the party that opposed them, and consequently they might apprehend that this was only the advanced guard of a large body. But it was reason enough for them to disperse, if, to adopt the words of the Times, they apprehended that the six men were '• retiring to fetch up a greater force." It is evident t hat the Rioters were not duly prepared, and sufficiently armed, to encounter a regular mi litary force, and they had been besides, as appears in evidence, obliged to increase their own body by men reluctantly brought into the service under the menace of being shot in case of refusal.— But what is the manner in which the Times states the dispersion of the Rioters ? It says, the riot " was oppeaced by the bare appre hension of a P.role of six men retiring to fetch up .a greater force." This is a most extraordinat y use of the word appeased. A dispersion, from dis. may, is called an uppeciA , mcnt, if We may presume to coin a word—mill the• Appeasers accomplished their woik by retiring. Mit the conclusion of the Article alluded to the Times is lament able, considering that the Paper iu question t'S'At ones fl determined advocate,. we will not say for Ministers but for good Government, and we are sorry to see a Paver once so respectable 'abandoning its own principles, tbros ing a specious" varnish over the n►ost 'desperate designs, and abusing Government for adopting measures abso lutely necessary fur the safety of the State.— " Such (says the nines) is that disturbance, upon the ground of which it is attempted to justify or excuse the Suspension of the Liberties of all Englishmen." On the contrary, the mea sures thus traduced were to guard '' the Liberties of all Englishmen" from the attempts of wicked men, countenanced by ►mischievous Writers and in flamnn►atory Orators, to bury all rational li berty, all social rights, and all substantial Govern ment, in anarchy, misery, and ruin. The Times ad mits one fact, which deserves particular notice : it says, " it does not appear that a single musket was fired by the Soldiers or Constables who %vete sent out to reconnoitre the mob. — This moderate deportment of the loyal Party spews how little they were influenced by the sanguinary spirit which urged the rebel herd, since the former, though they were provoked, and might justly have returned the firing by which they had been assailed, were only anxious to quell the distur bailee by pacific means, under circumstances that would fully have Warranted them in resorting to military retaliation.—We shall conclude with the following Address from the Judge, after the ver dict of NOT UUILTY had been given, a proof of what he thought of their conduct, and tie an swer to which by the prisoners, plainly implied conviction of their guilt :-- JuDGE.—" Prisoners at the bar, takeCtlre Of yourselves 'or the haul e. You have now had a very narrow• escape, and if yuu persist in such practices as these, yon may drpend upon it you will bring yourselves to an . Untinielyend.—llave a care of your future conduct." PRISONERS (simultaneously) —" We will, incited, Slr." A Dutch Mail arrived last night, with Papers to the '27th .instant. They still keep up the re port that the late visit of the Duke of WELLING TON to Paris had reference to a negociation for a further diminution of the Army of Occnpation . in France. The following are extracts : " BRUSSELS, JULY 21.—h is affirmed that the journey of - the Duke of WELLINGTON to Paris connected with the continued negociations of the French Government to effect a further diminution of the Army of Occupation, which that Govern ment still hopes to Ining.to a favourable issue. " BERLIN, JULY 18.---;By accounts from St. Pe tersburg'', we learn that her Royal Highness the Princess CUARLOTTR made her confession of faith on the 7th July (24th June 0. S.) in the great church of the Imperial Palace, according to the custom of the Greek Church, and having been thereupon confirmed, received the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper. Next day her Royal High ness was solemnly betrothed tr'.th extraordinary Pomp to his Imperial Highness the Grand Duke NiciroLAs, according to the rites of the Greek Church."
