FRENCH PAP)MS. ?Ants, MAY 18.—Aceortliiig to intelligence flotn Barcelona of the sth inst. the fate of the Conspirator Lacy was not then decided ; orders from the Court were waited for. They were still in pursuit of Milans. Marshal Sourdan is recovered. It is said the Infant of Spain, Don Francis Paul, will pass the summer at Paris. On the 27th ult. at midnight, a Meteor, con sisting of a mass of fire, was seen at Biedenkopf, in nesse, which , descended slowly towards the earth in a South Easterly direction. On its ap• preaching the earth it broke into pieces, and at the moment a long train of fire rose in the air, with a detonation similar to distant discharges of cannon, which was repeated five minutes after wards. The obsetrets at the same time felt a commotion similar to a slight shock of an earth lueke. The King of Prussia sets out from Berlin the Ist of July for the waters of Carlsbad, and pro. reeds about the Ist of August to the Rhenish Provinces. ' FIVE PER CEnTs.,—Saturtlay, 68 f. 40 0.

THE SUN. engm ,jli►b mime rALaug AUEIcAT e LONDON, THURSDAY, MAY 22, 1817, We received last night the Paris Papers of Sunday last, and this morning the Journals of I*.lontlay. The former contain very little of im. purtance. They mention the intended journey of the King of PrtusstA to his /1116nish Provinces, but 401 not renew the report of his expcted visit to Paris. The five per cents. on Saturday were -68 f. 40 r. Thue following are extracts from Monday's Papers " PAIUS, MAY JD.— `!'fie King yesterday heard muss its the chapel of the Tltil;eries, and af!tr warcis Itclti a Ci.urt, was nkittari,usly et tenactl.

" STOCKHOLM, Mnv s.—The events in Gothia are to be determined upon by the superior Court of Justice. Besides the Provincial Doctor Berge n)), a Professor is also accused as the author of some couplets which were sung. • Lieutenant Lincisfelt, uho uttered reprehensible menaces against a high personage in Eastern Gothia, the place of his residence, has been brought here and delivered over to the superior Court of Justice. The Denunciator of the 14th of March, Lind holm, who has proved nothing of what he ad vanced, and all whose allegations are false, will be soon tried. " The repressive measures againit contraband goods are more active and severe than ever. " VIENNA, MAY S.---Two dreadful fires °cent.- red (luring last month in Hungary. The first on the 12th, nt Khesteln, destroyed 126 houses and five stables ; and the second at Stein-Am-Arger (Saborie), reduced to atbc3 230 houses; five indi viduals perished, and the remaining inhabitants are in the greatest distress." We understand that there was more " metint than met the ear" in the Count Da BLAC.%s's hasty journey from Rome to Paris. The fact, we learn, was, that a General D-- having dis covered the existence of a deep-laid plot against the BOURBONS, wrote to the Minister of the Po lice at Paris, and not receiving an answer, he thought the circumstance of this silence gave more interest to the subject, and he therefore deemed it his duty to write to the Count Da &ACAS, then at Rome, the whole particulars of his discovery. The Count proceeded in conse quence to trace the matter through several towns in Italy; and considering the whole affair as well founded, conceived that it was his duty to hasten with the intelligence to his Royal Master at Paris. The sudden journey of the Count to Paris has been ascribed to other causes ; but we are assured that the fact really is as above stated. EXTRACTS OF LETTERS FROM THE AGENTS TO LLOYD'S, AT FAYAL, DATED TUB 18TH AND 19TH OF Arm. 1817. " Ariut. 18.—We have intelligence of three Insurgent privarcers having been in the latitude of Flores ; they consisted of two schooners and a brig, and were occasionally in company. Mr. Wt.t. Mum, master of the Ann, from London, acquaints me he fell in with three vessels on the let instant, which answered the description of the above privateers;---he hoisted his colours, but it being near dusk, and blowing fresh, they did not molest him. They were steering Eastward. " AMT. l9.—Yesterday evening an American brig from New Yolk, hownd to Gibraltar, came into onr Bay and landed the Master and crew of the Portuguese ship Marquez do Pomba!, Captain GONSALVEs DA COSTA, from Pernambuco to Oporto, captured on the 26th ult. in lat. 38. 50. long. 36. The Captain and crew of the privateer were nearly all Americans, and the Master of the vessel bound to Gibraltar has given the Portuguese Captain a certificate that the Commander of the Privateer is JoSP,P6I STAFFORD, sin American, and native of Baltitnore. The privateer captured'the Portuguese brig St. jaw) Protector, CARDOZA master, from Bahia to Lisbon, and a Spanish ship from Havannah to Cadiz. She manned her 3 prizes and sent them, it is supposed, either for Carthagena or St. llotningo. The privateer is called the Patriota de Buenos :lyres, and it does not appear that she has been in concert with two schooners." The Ganymerte frigate returned to the Downs yesterday : she fell in with the Moorish corvette on Monday, off Beaehy Iltaa; and ckateither to the kVestward.

Notwltiwantling the ze3l and perseverance of Oppoiition in support of the measures which they brie forward themselves, or the activity anti rescl{t►tion with xhich they endeavour to thwart t hose proposed by Government, we believe :hat ;I they were fully aware tlf 'the mittetligvons, or rather 11,gitions designs of tinnier Pe!Weal Societies in this Country, they would pause its their career. We have good authority for stating that nothing short of an intention to poison the public mind in all directions, and a consequent attempt to overthrow th e w h o l e o f our Establish ment in Church and State, was the real object in view among the artful Leaders and Instigators of those Societies. The French Revolution, and its horrible success iu elevating the most worthless characters into the highest degrees of political power, operated as a strong incitement to the Demagogues of this Country to aim at the same ascendancy. A Society in Manchester about the years 1793 and 1 . 794, at the head of which was a man well-known, of the name of COOPER, we are assured bad Methodized the following plan for the perpetration of their pernicious purposes.. Their first object was to, effect the abolition of the Slave Trade, not from any motives of pity to wards the Negroes, but as a means for diffusing among all ranks enthusiastic notions of Liberty, the more effectually to smooth the way to ulterior designs. H a ving ,as they hopcd,obtained possession of the public mind, so far as the inferior and more numerous orders were concerned, they were to proceed in the next place to propose to put a stop to the Pressing' of Seamen, and to make the Sailors join with the lower classes in wild cla mours for Liberty. Thus having, as they ex pected, seasoned the public mind, their nextmea sure was, to effect a Reform in Parliament, a measure which the remains of those Societies still hold in view', as we have recently seen, and which the Opposition in Parliament un wearily aid. Alter the achievement of these patriotic measures, the destruction of the Este, blished Church would, in their opinion, have been a matter of ,consequent and easy accomplish mem. The late Mr. SAMUEL TAYLOA. a most re spectable manufacturer of Manchester, was trusted with all these designs, but partly from his exhor tations to those Members or the Societies, who were misled by visionary notions, but who really had the welfare of the State in view, partly by the treachery of some, the terrors of others, end the timely and vigorous measures of Government, the schemes were frustrated, and the Reforming Zealots were scattered and .sunk into stingles's insignificance. The efficacy of the Suspension Act being now confirmed by the rare necessity of its enforcement, the Party are of course growing impatient under . its continuance. We re joi ce. i n t h e possible prospect of their impatience suffering a prolfogil though truly we confess oarselvois sasaast igually impatient to learn the sew arguments which the tranquillity of the country is 'still -to be resisted, Their apprehension of rigour, • and tyranny, and incarceration, having proved itself wholly groundless, they cannot, with arty great hope of success, go over again the old rhodomon lade. Perhaps they will now contend, that the continuance of the Suspension is useless, because it has not emptied the streets and filled the prisons; and Ministers, perhaps, will be hooked upon this curious dilemma ; that the power, which was lately denounced as dangerously severe, is now to be refused to them as needlessly lenient. Thos, between the rigour which liar; not been shown, and the mildness which has, the public safety is to be neutralized; and all those mischiefs which the Suspension Act prevented arc to be brought back upon the country in their toll operation. It is vexatious too, that Ministers, in proposing the continuance of this preventive remedy, should follow the constitutional course by which it was created. Would the Party he kind enough to de velope n mode tvbeteby it can be move constitu tionally discussed and effected, we shall thank fully attend the instruction. Their dislike, how ever, is to the measure itself ; and in quarrelling with that, they will object to tiny means—no matter how open, how regular, or bow consti tutional. The more vehemently, perhaps, for these uncotntatable chiraeteriStici. k wilt be somewhat difficult for our Patriots to verify their prognostications. The speculative ()huger of practical confidence in the Miniitcrs is now at an end :—it can no longer even sound a period, or , flourish a peroration. The country has seen and felt the benefit of that prevention of crime which is so much. more desirable than its punishment; Rs combining individual freedom with general security. In the embairassment of retracting all their old Arguments, and of dressing up their new ones with some small guise of consistency, the Party may he forgiven the mare-temps which they ran into about the Committee. One objects to ti►e measure depending on the Committee's :Report ; while another insists on its being carried without their Ranction. But no ►natter. A measure so extremely inconvenient, which has kept the mis• ehievolis iiniet hitherto, and threatens to keep CLer. Stl 0 Rule longer, must be put in— , ther by old arguments , o r b y Dew argunteals, of by no arguments at all. Respecting, as ne sincerely do, the painfulte. luctance of Lord CASTLERKAGO in proposing ill, prolongation of this measure, we think that deed, return his Lordship may derive much" confidence cad consolation front its proved efficacy. If' ids the Westminster Baronet's motion for (11 4 have been seen how few persons have art% ed under its enictment that temporary On of names had been cortied, it was,lii (ion of liberty which has possibly kept thel! out of far worser mischiefs.
