FRLNCII PAPER§. l'xiets, 'Oct. 12.—The King bas ordered kwu set ice to be performed on the 16th, in com inemot alio!' of the death of the Queen Marie -Aw toinette. Ater the 'service, the Queen's letter to I‘ladame Elizabeth is to be read ill sH the churches of the kitig4iom. Lettert from Staitari!'atate, ttiat tile Princess Augusta-, spouse of Pi ince Eugene, was delivered on the 2d instant 'of a Prince. The affair 'of Rhoden is, by the decision 'of the Conned ofthe Court of Caseation, referred to the Assize Court of Alhy, in the department of the 'ram, and within the jurisdiction of the Ittlyal Court of Thoulouse. Several corsairs from Tripoli have appeared off . the coast of Tuscany. It is currently reported in Italy, that the Ame ricans have taken measures for obtaining an island in the Mediterranean, for the purpose of forming an entrepor for their commerce. This report, which has already been circulated by the English papers ) is probably occasioned by the prolonged stay of the American squadron in the Mediter ranean. Letters from Malta announce, that the English Government has given orders for coatiniting the basin already commenced in that island, notwith standing ti►e obstacles which oppose the progress of the ‘vork. Private lettets front Rome announce, that the Consistot y xvhich was to h Av.: been hell, hi his Holiness at the end of Septetnber, for the pro motion of Bi-hops in France and other countries; had been postponed to sth instant. The Abbe de Riencourt, appointed Bishop of Boulogne, and who, it was said, had refused that See, has defi nitively accepted it. 'the Abbe de Chieze has le fused the See of Montpelier, and the Abbe Dubois that of ,•lire. The diligence from Bayonne has been ariteked in the conitiothe of St. Paul Ocpartinent of Pyrenees Orientales), by eight igands, and robbed of two packages containing :40,000 ItatiC9. It is said that the Court of Assizes at lionen has declared itself inconiFetent in the affair of the individual (the pretended Dauphin) who has the audacity to call himself Charles of Navarre. The i'revotal Court of Lyons will commence on the 13th the trial of certain individuals ac cused of conspiring in that city against thelegiti mate Government. A Madame Lavalette, charged with having an understanding with them, has been brought to Lyons. Site has alrea►ly un►lergone n an interrogatory. The Duke d'Angouleme is expected to be at Havre to-morrow. The Diike of Richelieu returned to Paris on Friday evening ; and yesterday, alter mass, he transacted business with the King., The engineer Chevalier, in a letter on tl►e sub ject of tl►e too eatly cold evhich is now experienced, states conjectures as to tl►e probability of a very sevare winter—conjectures which, wt! hope, the event will contradict. Ile Says, Whether we adopt the period of the Lunar Nodes of about 19 years, or admit that memorable winters corre ' spoud in different ages, according to the periods of 100 years, and 101 years, or their multimes, ac cording to the observation of M. LA Sall6 in either case a rigorous winter is to he anticipated. In Net, the period of 19 years will to,ke the present year correspondent with the winter of 193; and if we refer to the pet iods of 100 or 101 years, then the whiter of tltis year tv.ill correspond with those of 1615 and 1716. MINISTRY or THE INTERIOR.-officiat advices having notified, that the yellow fever has re-ap peared at Guadaloupe and the liavannah, and that its ravages ate also experienced in Charleston, the Minister for the Home Department has has tened to recommend fresh precautions against all tstrivals from America and he has fixed the du ration of the quarantines to which vessels front that quarter of the world ought to be subject ac cording to the particular circumstances of each vessel. Some doubts having arisen respecting the contagious character of the yellow lever, the Mi nister has thought proper, in order to settle these doubtS, to consult- the Faculty of Physicians of Paris on the subject. The report presented by the Faculty (which is inserted in the Moniteur) demonstrates the necessity of the measures of pre caution which have been ordered. Five per Cents. (Saturday) 64f. 83c. MADRID, SEPT. 30.-- The movement of the troops which are marching from Andalusia to Es tremadura continues to furnish Matter for conjec tures among our drawing-room pcpliticiatts. It is now reported that the militia is to he called out, which will add to the army an effective force of 35,000 men ; for the militia corps are always com,- ,plete. They are raised by a cot t of conscription ; the regiments being filled up as soon as the order is given. The militia is an army of reserve which Spain has always ready. Still, however, we doubt the truth. of this report. Our discussions ‘•rith Portugal cannot require a measure so serious, and which would at once derange all our financial plans ; and in the present 'state of Europe, just escaped from tire evils of an unexampled war, what Power would wish to fire the first gun ? That painful . precedency, we trust, is not.reserved for us. —The rep or t re l at i ve to the BERLIN, SETT. 30 ditty of 30 per cent. to be imposed up o n E ng li s h chandise and manufactures imported into the Prussian States, still prevails but we k now f rom good authority, that there is, as yet, n o thi ng de termined on that subject. The report is founded on the proposition of, the Finance Committee of the Council of State, which is to undergo a more complete deliberation on the next meeting o f t h at assembly. The reduction of our army of the line is more than ever spoken of ; its maintenance consumes a great part of our revenue. We are assured that a plan for the reduction has been presented to his Majesty. VIENNA, OCT. have just received intel ligence that the t tvo Portuguese ships of the line passed the Straits ot Gibraltar on the Ist of Sep tember. The Austrian frigate the Augusta, which bad been lying for seine - weelis at Gibraltar, im mediately put to sea alter the Portuguese squa- THE SUN. SULt:,I t , 13 DICE F.d,:if,.l A U DEVI ? LONDON, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 16, 18I;7. We received last night the Paris Papers of Sunday last. Those of Monday, which were clue this morning, have not come to hand. These Journals put an end to the speculations respecting the absence of the Duke de RICH ELLIEU, by announcing his return to Paris, and his trans acting business as usual with the King. The Court of Assizes, at Rouen, is said (but neon what ground is not mentioned) to have de clared itself incompetent with respect ta the case of the pretended Dauphin. - Respecting another affair width has excited considerable interest in France, the assassination FUALDES, the new trial of the persons charged with the mimic, is appointed t. be had before the Comm of Assizes at Mby. The report is revived in these Journals, that the Government of the United States of America ii endeavouring to obtain a naval station in the Mediterranean, and it may be tine that some pro positions to that effect have been made, but if so there is every reason to believe they have been entirely unsuccessful. In the Madrid articles rumours of a war bet ween Spain and Portugal are again brought forward, but they seem chiefly; if not entirely, to have arisen from the remov,l of ,the Spanish troops which were stationed in Andalusia, and destined for an expedition to South America, into Estramadura. This measure, it has been already explained, arose from the necessity of relieving Andalusia from the burden of their subsistence. Another report is now added, that a considerable body of Spani s h Militia are to be called out into actual service. This, however, is merely a rumour, but if true, it may probably be capable of as eusy:an explanation as the march of a corps of regular troops towards the frontiers of Portugal. From these Madrid accounts we learn that whilst the produce of the harvest is so abundant in Castile, that, there being no means of export, the price of grain is ruinously low. There has been a very indiiietetif harreit' in Catalonia, where the pike has risen con side' ably. The people of Castile want a mar ket for their Grain, which the people of Ca talooia would be glad to buy, but there is no means of conveying it from one to the other. It seems, however, that at length, in conseque»ce of the urgent demands of the people of Castile, the King has ordered the Counci) of Castile to take the subject into consideration and report upon it. The fortnguese squadron, with the Princess Royal of PORTUGAL on board, passed the Straits of Gibraltar on the Ist ult. New precautions with regard to quarantine have been ordered by the French Minister of the Interior, "in constquenCe of official intelligence havin g been received of the prevaleticg of the yellow fever at Guadaloope, the Havant/011i and Charlestown.

It is a proof of tl►e nourishing state of the Country that the applications for Mediterranean Plisses have been greater at ti►e Admiralry than ever was known'.

'rl►e Resolution urianitiiiiitaly adopted by the Papists at one of tl►e recent Aggregate Mectino in Dublin, to impoSe a TEST on the Catvlidate3 at tl►e ensuing General Election, viz. " that if they would tr ot give a pledie to support the Claims of the Roman Catholi c s for Admission to Seats in the Legislature, &c., that they would be opposed b'y all the Papists Iheonghout the United King dam," has given great offence to the Protestant Community, and created a general dcterinination uniongstthern to use every means in their power to put this vexations question et rest in the sExt Parliament. To achieve witich it is expected, that, in Many places, at present repte§euted by the ►►dvocates of the Catholic Cfaims, persons of op.; polite sentiments will be proposedi and there i 3 little doubt, from the good understanding which prevails on this subject, between the .Alernhers of the Establishment and the great Body of Pro testant Dissenters, that they will succeed, secure in the NEw Parliament that commundiug influence to %Thiel), from their numbers, property; and principles, they are so pre-eminently enti tled. It appears, that in the late contest for Norfolk Mr. Pharr wrote to the Rev. Mr. 11--, nd to other Dissenting Ministers in that County, that he would, on all occasions, oppose the Ca tholic Claims, and WC Lace 110 doubt hut others of his Party will, at the next Election, fol low his example, if they cannot otl,erwise se cure their return to Parliament.
