OCT. 14.—The article from Stock tofu), 23d September, which we copied in to our Journal of yesterday (Oct. 13), is not . conformable to truth, since, as we are now posi tively informed from respectable authori:y, there never could have been any conferences between the Swedish Minister of Foreign Aittirs, and the French Minister, about the recognizing of the Crown Prince by the Count of Frattce„ as there. never was any question of it ; and he was -tacitly reec;gnisetf, as %veh as all, the other Sovereigns of •Europe, or their presumptive successors, .on the restoration of Loins XVI 11. to the throne. The rest of article is no less inaccurate: we thus consider the ‘vhole article as nitll. Among the persons of rank lately arrived here Is Prince Christian of Hesse Darmstadt. As the maintaining. of a Dutch settlemekt on the coast of Goitiea, has 'for its object not only directly to benefit made, but also to derive all possible advantage from the fruitful soil of Africa . , .for time cultivation of Colonial produce, and to make use of it for time benefit of time mother couir try, it may not be unimportant to the public to . be informed, as the tWO sons of tie G o v ernor o f that mail are going thither, particularly, in.Jhe last mentioned view, that all persons o'r larnilies ,who are not wholly Without resources of their owu , anti who . may be inelineil to settle 01) mire Gold Coast, in the neighboomhood of D'aumina,. trill receive every possible facility ott the part of the Government. • The European Colonists may advantageou3ly employ their kno‘vledge And .their industry in the e n hi vt i on of that fertile country ; and the Colo nization of this Netherland__pos,t•ssion, as ►well as the trade to-those partS, ►vill receive every eneou ,ragentent from the state.

PETERSBURGI-1, SEPT. 20.—The invitation from 9ur Cabinet to all the Powers of Europe, to join in measures against pirates of all descriptions, is said to have been signed by the Blur ror before his departure; and . to have been immediately for warded to our Ministers at foreign Courts. r'REJUDICES OF THE FRENCH SOLDIERY AGAINsT ENGLISH TRAVELLERS. I'Ve have received'the following account of a recent affair at Dieppe : " Among the many disagreeable circumstances to which Englishmen • are exposed, in travelling through France, is the rude behaviour of the mi litary, which is not confined to the common sol dier, but characterizes a great portion of the subordinate officers ; and it, requires great for -bearance to void the unpleasant, and even clan gerous, consequences which might ensue from resenting their unprovoked and gratuitous inso. - • lence. As an instance of the truth of this remark, ~.and of the brutal conduct of the soldiery, we are desired by some of our countrymen just returned from that country to state the following fact : As three English Gintlemen were walking on Sunday last under the Piazza at Dieppe, which leads to Taylor's hotel, a sentinel on duty before the Colonel de Jouilli's horse was observed to be in a violent dispute with two English females, baying the appearance of servants, who complained of being struck by the sentinel with th'e butt-end .alf his musket, as they were passing peaceably by - the front of the Colonel's house. As the Gentlemen , *walked past them to the hotel, the females were appealing to Alr.Taylor, the hotel-keeper, for pro tection, who was heard to advise thew to walk on an d not notice the assault, there being Ito redress • for theth in France.. About an hour atter this at fair, these gentlemen were returning to the quay, ..when the sentinel on duty tusked soddenly to wards them, and giving them mitt , nOt ice of , hi s in tention, and iii the most menacing manner, with his fixed bayonet drove them front the piazza into the street, ejaculating the foulest oaths and in sults upon the English. The ‘vidth of this pi azza, which fronts the Exchange, is „ ea rly 20 feet—, When these gentlemen observed that all e xcept Englishmen were allowed to pass and repass with_ Out any kind of molestation, they ventured to ask the sentinel if he had orders to make this distinction ? '' Point de reflexion," and a thurst at them with the bayonet, was the answer ; the consequences of which they narrowly escaped by a precipitate re treat into the street. A gens.d'arme passing by at, the time, the gentlemen applied to him for 'pro tection He directed theta to apply to Colo nel de Touilli, before whose house the soldier stood sentinel. this tittle a considerable crowd had collected to vindicate the conduct of the soldier, but our countrymen were not thus "I to be :from . redress ; presented themselvei . ,before the Colonel's house, as the 'gene-Wart/le-had instructed then:, and halt concealed in 'the crowd rad veached the gain, and were on the point of etttering the court-yard of the house, wilen the soldier perceiving them, they were.again driven back into ale street a third time at the point of the bayonet. A •Coptaitt of 'the Regiment was next observed .. by them to Kaye mixed with the crowd witnessing 11. e affair ; "to hitt) 'they immediately rept esented the conduct of the sentinel, iii a lOnd andperemptury tone, that the people might htdr.; he replied. that the soldier wa s justified in his conduct toWardS the English, be having hero i nsu lt e d by two English tern tits whilst on eluty ; atid that onless the gentlemen imme diately dis6uvered who the females were, he would ins'antly order the atiest "of all three. In vain did they urge that they were total strangers in Dieppe; that they had artived by the diligence hilt a few horns before, and were, wholly igno-: rant of the affair. No matter ; they were Eng lishmen, and this of itself seems au - offence in France wh4ch admits of no extenuation. The Commissaire of Police was sent for, and the gen tlemen retired to Taylor's hotel, there to await the result of those proceedings which were meditated against them. On representing their situation to the English, who had arrived there that morning from Brighton, it appeared that all of them had been sitnila;ly insulted on their way 'l6 the hotel; and amongst those whose lives had been exposed to the brutal• violence of the sentinel, were a Lady and two Anierican Gentlemen who had been mis taken for English. Upon which it was immediately rewired to make common cause with each other, and to address a letter to the Colonel, of which the following is a translation : "TO COLONEL DE JOUILLI ,MEMBER OF THE LEGION uF 1-10VOUII, " Dieppe, Oct. 12. ". 'We, the undersigned Englishmen. are extremely sorry that we hare occasi o n t o c o mplain to you of tile misconduct of the sentinel on guard before you house. W shall lie glad to• know at what hour you will allow us the honour of seeing you upon the subject. " We arc, with muchr/spect, &c." To which the Colonel replied as follows !-- " The Colonel of the legion is extremely sorry that he was not at home when Mr. and his friends %mded upon him; he will have the honour to see them at whatever hour it may suit them to call ukil four o'clock to-day, or tc-worrow front eight o'clock to ten, or at twelve. " Dieppe, k=2.Bre, 1617. (Signed) " C. ueJoutt.t.t." " Accordingly. at 4 o'clock, the English Gen tlemen at Taylor's Hotel waited upon the Co lonel, and stated their complaint, .requiring, at the same time, the punishment of the sentinel, as a disavowal of the insult and tissult. ‘lre have much pleasure in adding, that their reception by Col. Jouilli was highly - .Satisfactory. lie most distinctly denied any knondedge'of the insult hitn self', much less of any onto given to the sentinel to moke this arbitrary distinction amongst Horse who passed • before hii house; but he also gave repeated assurances that. the 4oldier sitoultl he punished for his conduct ,in the most txvmplary manner." 1 , ,* For PaovisciAL Jouaxat,a, see the Last Page-,—For,the TEtiaar ItEvlEw, see the Fits!.

We received this morning the Paris Papers of Wednesday last. The following are extracts : " PARIS, OCT. 15.—A fire broke out yesterday morning at the I'huilleries, in the apartments of the Count de la Bouillerie, Under Secretary of State in'the Finance Department, and Treasurer of the Ciown. It appears that the floor caught fire in consequence of a detective flue. Thanks to the zeal of tl►e firemen, and the activity of the persons.of the King's Household,the fire was soon got under.

It is understood that in 'this declaration there was no question as to the Paella of Belgrade, although there is no' dOubt that it was by-his orders . the Servian Knese put Czerny to death.' " The German Journals contain articles more or less long respecting- the Congress which they say will assemble next Spring, - in a town on the banks of the. Rhine. It . is understood that all the Sovereigns who were present at the Congress of Vienna will assemble in person, and that there will be questions discussed by them, respecting ti.e establishing one or two protectorates of the. Germanic Confederation, the fixing the amount of. the force which each State of Germany is to furnish for the Army of the Confederation, &c. This intelligence requires confirmation. MADLUD, OCT. 2.—There are still reports here of a war with Portugal, but they are very vague, and the march of tromps annimitees rather the want of better cantonments than military movements." . The same Evening Paper which, according to The Morning Chronicle, was ordered by Ministers to cast " unqualified censure' on Russia, re.spect ing.its conduct on the fate of CZnRNY GEouGcs, last night stated that the Russian ships, at Revel, had been sold t o Spain.
