The Grand Presidents ate required to address to Government the result of their con sultations in circumstantial reports.

Their influence will be greater in the existing circumstances, as the Grand Presidents belong al most always to the class of proprietors, and con sequani ly have the same interests. f'he Government has permitted the proprietors of Noble property to condemn to imprisonment those of the old militia who returned to their homes, and refused the services to which they 'were bound as peasants. GERMAN PAPERS. TUBMGEN, AUG. 5.--In the literary Journal, The Morgertblan, of the above date, is a letter from Paris, in which is the following passage : " Paris, July 2. " The Commissioners for the liquidation of the claims of flee Foreign Powers, make upon France a demand of one thousand five hundred millions of francs (above 62,000,0001. sterling) ; an enormous sum, which tht tatens to render the next Sitting of the Chambers very stormy, and which, if this pq}uunt must he made without any remission, is likely to ne:klie upon all classes of the people an impression which it would be difficult to estimate." CONSTANCE, JULY 23.—Madame Hortensia 31.10napaite has set out for Augsburg, where she hos purchased a very fine mansion. FRANKFORT, Ave. S.—The residence of the Duchess of St. Lti, and her purchase of estates in Thurgovia, drew The at + ention of the Swiss Diet, which in its Resolution of the 29th + 7III Y, 1816, decreed that the Memlers of Me Bonaparte Fa mily should entirery be excluded frays the• territories of Me Cusyrderalii , n. The Ambassador trout Thurgovia defended +he indulgence shown by- his Canton to the 10achess-first, because th a t R,,tolutiot, b:al been taken only for the moment a4;l atlhunt inst ruc ti o ns f rom th e States (or Cantons;, and ::'.is made by the Deputies as a passing regulation, and so coosidereth—secondly, because, according. to the Protocol of the High .Allied Powers of October, 1815, they no longer thought the abode of the banished Frew:4 in Switzerland to tee daogerous ;—and thirdly, because the Duchess led a quiet aml retired life, and was very charitable. The Deputy there fore added, that if the removal of that Lady were constitu tionally required, his Canton.reservid its rights of Sovereign ty, hut was willing, if all the co-estates thought such remoVal iit,tvanta i eetins and necessary to the common iftterest, to thew i,s invariable attachment by proper regulations. Long dis . • • eussions ensiled, in which it was -eptied, that the Revilution of 1815 had been not only justified, but coofirmed by the circumstances of the times, none of t'Ae estates having since then objected to •it. That things were in the same state now as then, the faction driven from France still continuing from their abode in other countries to disturb its tranquillity, and thns'to endanger the general peace and security. Thirdly, that it was more honourable for the Nation to do with pru dence and caption what is for its good, than to be led to it by new misfortunes. It was therefore resolved, by a majority of 17 votes, to consider the Resolution of 1815 as still in force, and to invite the Government of Thurgovia to remove the Duchess from the Canton. The affair being wholly decided, the President produced a letter from the Swiss Envoy at Paris, containing a circular Note from the Ministers of the four Al lied Powers assembled at Paris, to the States adjoining to France, according to which all persons exiled from France have to declare by the 16th of August next, in which of the three great Continental States, Russia, Austria, or Prussia they will chase their future abode. It was resolved to cotn municate this letter in the usual manner to the Governments of the Cantons. GEN. APGREGOR's PROCLAMATIONS. The following Procla►nations were publishe►l by General GREGOR M`GREGOR on taking possession of Amelia Island PROCLAMATION OF THE LIBERATING ARMY. GREGOR NPGaunort, Brigadier-General of the Armies of the United Provinces of New Granada .and Venezuela, and General in Chief of the Armies for the Two Floridas, com missioned by the Supreme Director of Mexico, South America, &c. To the Inhabitants of the Island of Amelia! Your brethren of Mexico, Buenos Ayres, New Granada, and Venezuela, who are so glorionsly ,engaged in fighting for that inestimable gift which nature has bestowed upon her children, and which all civilized nations have endeavoured to secure by social compacts, desirous that all the Suns of Co lumbia should participate in that imprescriptible right, have confided to me the command of the land and naval forces. Peaceable inhabitants of Amelia, do nut apprehend any danger or oppression from the troops which are now in pos session of your Island, either for your persons, property, or religion; however various the clime in which they have re ceived their birth, they are nevertheless your brethern and friends. Their first object will he to protect your rights ; your property will be held sacred and inviolable, and every thing done to promote your real interests, by co-operating with you in carrying into effect the virtuous desires of 'Our constitu ents, thereby becoming the instruments for the commence ment , of a national emancipation. Unite your' forces with ours; America shall he placed by her destinies to that rank among the nations that the most high has appointedto a coun try, by its extent and fertility, offering the greatest sources of wealth and happiness. The moment is important. Let it not escape without hav ing completed the great work of delivering Columbia from that tyranny which has been excrcised in all parts, and which to continue its power has kept the people in the most degrad ing ignorance, depriving them of the advantages resulting from a free intercourse with other nations, and of that pros perity which the arts and sciences produce when under the protection of wholesome laws, which you will be enabled properly to appreciate only when you shall have become a free people. You who, ill-advised, have abandoned your homes, what ever may he the place of your birth, your political or religious opinions, return without delay, and resume your wonted oc cupations. Deprecate the evil councils your enemies may disseminate among yon. Listen to the voice of honour, to the promises of a sincere and disinterested friend„ and i-e- turn to the fulfilment of those dirties which nature has im posed upon you. He who will not swear to maintain that independence which has been declared, will be allowed six mouths to settle his affairs, to sell or remove his property I without molestation, and enjoy all the advantages which the laws grant in such cases. Friends or enemies of our present system of emancipation, whoever you be, what I say s unto you is the language of truth, it is the only language becoming a man of honour, and as such I swear to adhere religiously to the tenor of this Pro clamation (Signed) GREGOR M'GREGOR. Dated at Head-quarters, Amelia Island, July 1, 1817. SECOND PROCLAMATION:' Gregor M'Gregor, General of Brigade to the United Pro vince* of New Granada and Venezuela, and General in Chief of that destined to both the Floridas, with Commis sion from the Supreme Government of Mexico and South America, &c. Soldiers and Sailors ! The 29th June will be for ever memorable in the annals of independence of South America. On that day a body of brave men, animated by a noble zeal fur the happiness of maokind, advanced within musket. shot of the guns of Fer mondina, and awed the enemy into immediate capitulation, notwiths'amding his very favourable position. This will be an everlasting proof of what the SODS of freedom can achieve, when lighting in a great and glorious cause against a Go vernment which has trampled on all the maternal and 'es sential rights which descended from God to man. In the names of the Independent Governments of South America, which I have the honour to represent, I thank you for the first proof of your ardour and devotion to her cause; and I trust that, impelled by the same noble principles, you will soon he able to free the whole of the Floridas from tyranny and oppression; then shall I hope to lead you to the Continent of South America, to gather fresh. laurels 'n Freedom's cause. Your names will be transmitted to the latest posterity, as the first who formed a solid basis for the emancipation of those delightful arid fruitful regions, now in a great part groaning under the oppressive hand of Spanish despotism. The children of South America will re-echo your names in their songs. Your heroiC deeds will be handed down to succeeding generations, and will cover yourselves and your latest posterity with a never-fading wreath of glory. The path of honour is now open before you. Let those who distinguish themselves look forward with confidence to pro motion and preferment, to perpetuate the memory of your valour. I have decreed and do decree Shield of Honour, to be worn on the left arm, by every individual who assisted or 0-operated in the reduction of the Island of Amelia. The shield will be round, of the diameter of four inchei . , made of red cloth, with this device, " Vencedores de Amelia, 29 June, de 1817."—surrounded by a wreath of laurel and oak-leaves, embroidered in gold for the officers—in yellow silk for the men, the colours of the corps of National Artillery, the first squadron of Cavalry, and the regiment of Columbia ; and will lime the same device embroidered on the right angle of their colours.

We received last night the Paris Papers of Tuesday last, and this morning those of Wednesday. The third French Cardinal, de BAUSSET, received his hat from the King on Monday.' Orders have been given to pay the same military honours at Court to the Cardinals as to the Marshals of France. The Duke of WELLINGTON is expected at Paris on Monday next, after the review of the Prussian troops by their Sovereign, at which his Grace was to assist. The Emperor and Empress of AUSTRIA quitted Lemberg the 16th ult. to proceed to Csernouritz and Hermanstadt; The following are extracts from Wednesday's Journals : " PARIS, AUG. 13.—The affair of Messrs. Comte and Dunoyer (Editors of the Censeur) was again on yesterday before the Tribunal of Correctional Police. The pleadings were finished, and the cause was postponed for eight days for judgment. " An Apostolic Nuncio is expected at Paris very shortly. " The Prussian Minister at Paris, the Count (le Goltz, set out some days since to meet his Sovereign. The Abh Mary, Director of the Seminary of foreign Missions, at Paris, died here the 441) inst. in the 27th year of his age. " Mademoiselle de Cosse Brissac, aged 28, has taken the veil at Orleans, amongst the religieux of Calvary, a severe order, which is for women what la Trappe is for men. " The widow of the celebrated Black General Toussaint Louverture has died at 'lgen, aged 50 ; she has left two sons, Placide Louverture, a young man between 28 and 30, who has not quit ted his mother, and Jean Louverture, who is edu cating at the expence of the British Government at an English College, where be was placed in 1814. A third son of Toussaint Louverture, Captain in the French service, died about twelve years ago at Belle-Isle-en-Mer, where he was exiled. The catastrophe of the father will of course be recollected, wh6 fell a' victim, like many others-, to the perfidy of the Usurper. FIVE PER CENTS. Monday - -68 f. 60c. Tuesd.►y - -68 f. 50c. RASTAIIT, AUG. S.—Letters direct from Carlsbad announce the arrival there of the Rus sian Minister the Count Capo d'lstria. There was a talk of conferences between that Minister and the Prussian Ministers at Carlsbad, the Prince de Schwarzenberg and the English Minister, Lamb. The object of these negociations is not known : there are several conjectures respecting them. The Prince de Metternich is impatiently expected at Carlsbad, and M. de Hardenberg pro poses to remain there till he arrives. " VIENNA, AVG. 2.—Tile pregnancy of the Em press is positively stated.—The Emperor and Em press are expected to arrive at Cfaussenbourg, in Transylvania, the 18th August. " MADRID, AUG. 2.—lt is reported that our Government has received a Bull from the Pope, granting the Monks the power of becoming secu lars ; of which power it is thought many will avail themselves. 'The Holy Father has also granted permission to the minor orders to unite, in order 'to diminish the number of convents. " INSPRUCK, AUG. 2.—By letters from Milan we learn the arrival of the Portuguese squadron at Leghorn, on the 25th of July. " The solemn surrender of the Princess Royal of Brazil, who was to leave the Castle of Poggio- Itnperiale on the 29th July, to continue her jour ney to Leghorn, was fixed for the 31st July. The Prince of Metternich was to accompany her,' and exercise his functions ES Austrian Plenipotentiary On this occasion. " It appears by letters from the South of Italy, that the evacuation by the Austrian troops of the kingdom of Naples is continued with the greatest order. The time originally fixed for this evacua tion has even been anticipated, for on the sth of August all the troops will have left the kingdom. This measure has been accelerated by the declara tion of his Majesty the King of the Two Sicilies, made at the Court of Vienna, stating that the presence of the Austrian troops in his kingdom was no longer necessary for the maintenance of public order, as the Neapolitan National At my, well organised by the new Generalissimo, Prince Nugent, was quite sufficient for this purpose. " We also learn, front good authority, that no army of observation of Austiian troops will be formed in Lombardy. The troops returning from the kingdom of Naples will rettnn into the inte rior of the Hereditary Austrian Provinces. " It is confirmed ►hat there is a project for forming a leag►►e of the Italian Coitus against the Barbary Powers, and which it is stated will soon be executed. England protects this league, and has proposed a scheme for that purpose. There are, however, many persons who doubt whether this confederacy can be realised." The following is an extract of a letter from Charleston, dated July 14, received this Intim. ing : " Captain DIXON, of the schooner Eliza Ann, arrived here last evening, in 5 days, from the liavannah, informs us, that two days before he sailed, a brig belonging to the Consulado Fleet (formerly the Chasseur, of Baltimore) arrived at Havannah in a very crippled state, in company with another brig attached to the same fleet. They had sailed a short time previous as convoy to a large fleet destined for Europe, Africa, &c., anti soon after sailing fell in with a large Carthagenian cruizer, who laid the Chasseur on board, and poured so destructive a fire into her as killed and wounded 60 of her crew. The other brig kept at a respectful distance, and only united with her in her endeavours to escape, " We have seen several other letters from Amelia Island and St. Mary's. One of them states, that a Spanish prize brig had arrived at Amelia ; and another, that preparations were making for an immediate attack on St. Augustine." The Ccisar, from Batavia, arrived at St. Helena the 27th June, and sailed for England the 2d of July. We observe that the Moniteur, the Journal de France, and other Paris Papers, have quoted THE SUN, on the subject of the Yellow Fever at Mar• tinique, but they do not give us any further parti culars on a matter so important in relation to Commercial interests throughout Europe. MELANCHOLY ACClDENT.—Lymilgton, Aug. 15. —Yesterday afternoon, a seaman of the name of BENGRR went off to the ship Mary Ann,,bound to New York, with about 250 passengers, and took into his boat about 20 persons, whom he landed at Yarmouth, where they remained some time, and then returned into the boat, to proceed on board their ship ; but owing to a strong wind and tide, the boat was forced under the bows of the ship and upset, whereby 17 persons, induct. , ing the boatman, were unfortunately drowned. Some of the passengers are, in consequence of this accident, about to relinquish the voyage.

Part the Secoml relates to the Administration of the Committee. SIR ROBERT STEB.C.—WC stated that this Gen.. tleman was amono . {hose who objected to Mr. OwEN's Plan at, the late Meeting. We deem it right, however, to observe, that his reasons were very different from those of 'modern Reformers, and in unison with his well-known attachment to Government. Sir ROBERT, we understand, means to state the grounds of his opposition to Mr. OwEN's Plan in a general review of the subject. Yesterday, oantst one o' c l oc k, h er MAJESTY ants the cus: b sleft the Queen's Palace for Wind sor. FARKER had an audience of the PRINCE REGENT yesterday at Carlton-house, to which be was introduced by Count MUNSTER. Yesterday evening the PRINCE REGENT,attend ed by Sir BEN/AMIN BLOOMFIELD, left Carlton house for Brighton. Mr. SMITH, Secretary to the Navy Board, is about to depart for Fiume, accompanied by a scientific person belonging to Deptford Dock yard, to examine a quantity of timber obtained in the Adriatic in 1802 and 1803, and which, from the hostilities that took place, could never be sent to England. The Dowager Marchioness of LANSDOWNE, we are sorry to learn, is much indisposed, at her house in Albemarle-street.
