We received this morning the Paris Papers of Tuesday last. The following are extracts : " Paats, AUG. 26.—Yesterday the Ambassa dors and Foreign Ministers paid their Court to the King and the Royal Family, on the occasion of the fete of his Majesty. " His ExCellency the Margois - Alfieri de Sos tegno, the Sardinian Anibassadcr, speaking in the name of the Ambassadors, offered to the King their wishes and their felicitations. " The Duke of. Wellington, attended by his Staff, and a considerable number of foreigners of distinction, a'ssembled with the Corps Diploma tique to proceed to the audience of the King. " There was a grand dinner afterward 3 given by his Majzsty in the Gallery de Diana. In the evening the King and Royal Family sheaved them selves to tie people at a window, and were re ceived with loud testimonies of loyalty and affec tion. " At the dinner given on Saturday by the . Duke de Richelieu to the Count de Ruppin (King of Prussia) all the Ministers were present. " /Mo l e mass yesterday the King received a visit from the Count de Ruppin. " Mr. Lamb, English Minister and Plenipoten tiary, arrived a few days sin.7r: at Baden. " Replanlt de St. Jean d'Angely has arrived from New York at Brussels, front whence he is abotit - to set but for Aix-la-Chapelle.. " In the night of the 20th inst. the lightning struck the church of Notre Dame de Dijon, one of the finest monuments of that town. Fortunatly but little damage was done. "-We • learn from Nismes, that a second bull fight took place there on the 17th instant, in the presence of from eight to nine thousand spectators. The greatest tranquillity prevailed. There were -present men who have not always marched under the same banners, but not only did they manilcst no resentment against each other, but they spewed a perfect agreement, thinking only of aTinsing themselves. " The Prince Matthew de Radzivil, Councillor of State of the Emperor of Russia, has arrived ftom Carlsbad at Paris, with his family. • • " The Dowager Princess dTEttingen-CEttin gen, Princess of Wurtemberg, died of apoplexy, the 9th instant, at IVallerstein. • " COPENHAGEN, AUG. 2.—A1l the principal Au thorities have been requested to send to the Chan cellery their opinions as to the means of diminish ing tile number of poor, who have so much aug mented that it will soon become impossible fur the parishes to provide fur their subsistence. " BERLIN, AUG. 13.—The most absurd and contradictory reports have been for some days cir culated here. It was stated that the Netherland Minister b ad received alarming news. It appears that the whole has been a stock-jabbing ma n ceuvt e. " MANHEIM, Avo.l7.—The tumult which took place in the market of Mayence on the 14th, in consequence of some speculator's. offering higher prices for the new wheat than were asked by the holders, was of a serious nature. Several per sons were much hurt. All the Prussian and Aus trian troops in garrison at 3.llayence were under armi. A number of individuals were arrested. " BEUSSbLS, AUG. 22.—A Russian Courier ar lived here yesterday, coming through France. " ANTWERP, Ave;. 21.—This morning a domici liary visit was made by the Police at the hoos'e of Sieur Ronan, a printer, Editor of the Journal of the Province of Antwerp. The object was to search for a pamphlet, written by M. Dony, now detained at Brussels on a charge of High Treason. LEGBORN, AUG. 9.—We learn from Fcren tino, that the Lake of Canterno; called also'dc l'orciano, totally disappeared on the 24th ult. THE SUN. RULES QUIS DICERS FALSCIM AUDEA LONDON, FRIDAY, AUGUST 29, 1517. after a violent tletotiatiOn, A large Opening it:ts been discovered at the . bottom, through which probably the .water tan into the sinuotities of the adjacent mountains. " ROME ) AUG: 9.-- , -Sariria is negotiating a, new Concordat with the Holy See, having for its object to render the Er!clesiastical Constitution uniform throughout the Sardinian dominions. A Nuncio of the first rank is in future to reside at Tttritl." is,re,v Yolk I'Jpers to the c s ,l of August arrived this morning : (from the New r",,rk Commercial -Itlyerti.ser of ell , 'll '27) FROM AMELIA ISLAND.--Our advices from that place come down as late as the 12th inst. At that time the individuals who had left the island previous to the arrival of the Patriots bad mostly returned, and appeared quite contented with the new order of things. General M‘GREGoa was busily engaged in sending off his troops to St. John's, which place he was expected to reach about the 18th inst. St. Augustine was strictly blockaded by a Patriotid frigate, and the True- Blaoded sloop of war is more than a match for any naval force which Spain has in the Western hemisphere. PaTnionc PRIVATEERS.—There are, it is said, aboui 20 of these privateers now cruising in the Gulf of Mexico and along the coast of Cuba. A prize to one of the privateers was lately lo s t on Passearalos, and 9 out of a prize-crew of 13, on reaching the shore, were murdered by the Indiana. BALTIMORE, JULY 25.—1 t is reported that the Secretary of the Navy. has appointed Lieutenants M'CALL and Mora; to make a critical survey of the Southern coast, from Beaufort to St. Mary's River. Lieutenant M'CALL distinguished himself . in the contest between the Enterprize and the Boxer, and tlsebrave; . y of Lieutenant MONK was particularly evint ed in the glorious and successful rencontre of Like Die. NEW DIPLOMATIC ARRANGEMENT.--The Wash ington City Gazette of Saturday announces, that • Mr. PINCKNEY is to supply the place of Mr. ADAMS, at the Court of St. James's; and that Mr. - Rossi, the present Attorney-General, is to succeed Mr. PINCKNEY at the Court of St. Peters burgh. - . . (From the New Yorh Commercial iltivertizer of fitly 31.) BOSToN, JULY 28.—We have received the Port-au-Prince Telegraph of June 28, which is filled with a variety of Official Paper, of the Go vernment of the United States of Venezuela.— The first of these is a Proclamation of SANTIA.GO MARINO, Captain-General and First Chief of the Armies of the Republic,. to the people of Vene zuela, dated - June 11, 1817. The second is an Act of the Government, confirming Bocivatt's Decree proclaiming Freedom to Slaves, and en acting a penalty for its violation. The third is a commission to the Honourable Citizen LOUIS BRION, appointing bins Admiral of the Venezuela Squadron, and Captain-General of the Armies by land and sea. The fourth is a Military Law for the protection of the liberties of the Venezne , flans, declaring every individual from 14 to 60 years of age soldiers of the Republic, and re quiring them to present themselves in twenty four hours to the several Military Commanders.• Next follows an Act of the Supreme Executive Power of the United States of Veneinela, passed May 17, of the year 7, which, after a preamble, expresses the desire of the Republic to show its gratitude to Great Britain and the United States of North America, for the hospitality shown to Emigrants of the Republic, and for admitting her ships into their Ports, and respecting her flag of the High Seas ; it also decrees that all produce of the country to which the vessel belongs to pay no more duty than is exacted of Citizens; all arms and military stores are free of duty, as well as the returned cargoes purchased for them ; this decree is to extend during the war. Then follows a Bulletin, dated May 29, giving an account of a battle fought by General Platt in Guiana, in which be claims to have routed the Royalists, taken 586 prisoners, including in the number CERUTI, Governor of. Guiana, and 17 Officers. The next article is a decree of the Executive Government, in which it is declared that the stile of the Sovereign Congress of Venezuela shall be The Honourable Congress. , The next, and last article, is a decree, that the flag of the Venezuelean ships of war shall bear 7 stars, representing the 7 provinces, ,but merchant vessels shall carry only the Ui-coloured flag. SAVANNAII, JULY 16.—General M 4 GBEGor. has pledged the honour of a Soldier, that no fugitive (Negro) shall find an asylum in his camp i• but every person of that description whom his troops may meet shall be arrested and sent to St. Mary's. The accounts from all parts of the United States, received in town this morning, State thrit there nerer was known so fine a harvest as the.present. ConUeutiy as we may rely on the correchieSS of our Mercantile sources of information in re gard to Spain and Spanish affairs, and pretty cerL tain, therefore, that no negociation for a Treaty of Commerce with that Country has been on the carpet at any time since the return of the King, and that no positive engagement to that effect exists in any existing Treaty of Peace, we were willing to ascertain the fact still more by a reference to the Treaty itself,: taking it for granted that The Chronicle quoted from authentic docu ments. We will not even now take upon us to ,ay that it did not, but we have found nothing in the shape of a formal Treaty in the Journals we have taken the trouble to peruse since the arrival of FERDINAND to tlik day, or during the Government of the JUNTAS during his absence. If, instead of quoting the words of GoooY's Letter to Lord GREN VILLE, of the sth February 1797, a period of war withspain, which has no reference to the subject in hand, The Chronicle had condescended to give us the words of the Treaties he alludes to, it would have been more to the purpose. NVe cannot subscribe to the opinion of The Chronicle, - that the existence of the Tribunal of the IN QUISITION is incompatible with the residence of British subjects in Spain. We have the authority of The Chronicle itself for a proof - to the contrary, for it is but the other day that it spoke Of the British Factories which - existed in Spain during the reign of CiIARLES 11, of Spain, a period when the Inquisifion was much • more formidable than it is now. The hiqUisition has always existed in Portugal, and we have never found any inconve nience arisi:lg from it. to our commerce with that country. The Pans de seda, which the Inquisitors of the regular clergy wear on grand days, is the texture of Valencia, not of France ; the Alepine . gown, worn in common, as well as the serge frock of the Inquisitors belonging to religious orders, and of the inferior members of the Tribunal, are of English manufacture. We meant no disrespect to the Marquis DEL ,CAmPo ; in • what we said of him, we ridiculed the sup position that his diplomatic talents were ne cessary in the arrangements of packets between Falmouth and Cortmna. WeSTMINSTER REPRESINTATION.—It iS said, in a Morning Paper or this day, that in case Lord COCHRANE should be induced to res.ign his seat for the City of Westminster, that ROGER O'CON NOR 15 to be proposed as his successor. There are no doubt many intrepid followers of Party in that City,. but ve believe it will be difficult to find one hardy enough to propose such a Candidate. Yesterday Lord AAItIERST and Count 'MUNSTER had audknees of the PRINCE REGENT at Carlton house. Letters from Havannalv, of the Bth July, state, that the vessels that trade to the coast of Africa are increasing fast in number ; one is now fitting out calculated to bring 1000 slaves : a fleet of those vessels were expected to sail for Africa daily. We understand that it is positively settled, that • the young Prince of PoETuGar. is to come to Eu rope with his Princess immediately after the mar riage, and the royal couple are to take up their residence and hold a Court at Lisbon; while the King, his father, continues in the Brazils. Mr. THORNTON'S mission is expressly to compliment the Prince and Princess' on their marriage, and to accompany them to Europe.—(3lorning Chro nicle.) The Congress frigate, with the Commissioners on board to settle the disputes between the United States and the Black Emperors of HAYTI,' was spoken with in lat. 25. 30. long. 72. 30. A private Letter, dated Gibraltar, 7ih Angnst, says :—A ship of war arrived here this morning from off Algiers, confirms the news of the plague having bro.kcn out in that city. The deaths are about 17 or 18 daily. There is no danger here, as not even a boat is admitted into the Bay front any of the Barb4ry States." At a Slave Court at Jamaica, in June, Harriet, belonging to Dr. E. MELHADO, was two guilty of an attempt to poison her owner's family, by mixing verdigrise with ground coffee. Her sen tence of - death was commuted to transpoitatHt for life. Several Negroes had been convicted of Obeah practices. • The Earl of-DowoucomonE is now so far remo - from his late severe indisposition, as to be able to have his chamber and dine with his family. ate - mocit concerned to state the death of WALTER CHOKER, &g. of Corrabella, county Tipperary, brother of Joux IV4sotc Cm:ix R , Esq. Secretary of the AdniiriAity. Ile wa:i seized with an apoplectic fit, at his country seat, as he was ptcparing to get'on hor&ehack, on Thursday sennight, at two o'clock in the afternoon ; itod continued in the fit untii four o'clock the follow ing morning, when lie breathed his last. Mr. CROKER had returned to Ireland only the preced ing Saturday-from London, where he tail been some weeks•on a visit to his brother. • On Monday a tornado visited the Ridge-hill, near Hereford, which did considerable damage ; it completely stripped the roof from a co` tkv4e) tore up or broke the trees in a small orchard near the spot, and carried up the sheaves of %Omit which had been cut on about half an acre of land, breaking the bands, and dispersing the corn in all directions. Another slight shock of an earthquake was felt at Inverness on Sunday, the 17th instant, at 20 minutes past eight A. M. ; like some of the others latterly telt, the concussion was more violent in the distrits of Urquhart, Aird, &c. to the west.- ward of lovaness. •81IIP Auo. 23.—Put bark the CosSaC'a, 10:` the Cape of Good Hope.

The schooner Rosalie, armed and well manned,. has been taken near ,Iladeira, as a pirate, by cit.: Chad°, ta,l')l. Lisbon, and was can led into Bahia► on the 17th• of June. The Portuguese ludiamen lately captured arc extremely valuAble; but we are happy to h e ,:r that the loss will fall much more li litiy oO Lt.ovv!s than hid been antidpated, the greater proportion of the insurance by these vessels he ing effected •at Lisbon ; and we understand also, that it is not an onco7mnon case for Portuguese fuercarvile houses to be without any iusurano whatever. The survey of the several men of war at all 'the ports is in a state of forwardness, 'Many ships are ordered to be said or broken no, and others, which admit of it, to he repaireti. Among the former are the Chatham, 74, Cormorant stew ship, and some shops. The Fame iS very detective state, and is to be taken to pieces at Chatham. The improvements of the Dock-yard at Slter miss arc rapidly proceeding. An excavation of some hundred feet in length, and proportionably deep, is 'wally , tecomplished, for the tormation o f ugly doc,k. Nearly 1000 convicts are employe4 on the works, which, it is supposed, will occupy several .years in completing.
