MISCELLANEOUS FOKRICN EXTRACTS.
London, Dar. 4.—We received this morning
Mouiteurs and oilier Paris papers to the 23d
last, extracts from which are given in our pre
ceding columns. The enemy appear much pleas
ed with the Covcnt-Garden riots. They are
carefully detailed from day to day in the Moni
teur. Bonaparte’s kings, princes and dukes,
continue to crowd to Paris. The grand fete was
deferred until the 2.1 ii:st. we presume to allow
time for the arrival of all the company expected.
Meanwhile the Emperor was employed in hold
ing levees and councils, and receiving deputations
and addresses. That from the Senate talks of a
league for the emancipation ofthe commerce and
the independence of nations, and into which it
says, the States of both hemispheres :*re eager to
enter; meaning no doubt, Fiance and America.
The grand fete being over, lie will probably turn
his attention to Spain.
December 6.— We have received French pa
pers'to ihe 29lli Nov. and Dutch to the 2d inst.
The Empress of Austria is recovered from her
severe indisposition. Th? Emperor was expect
ed at Vienna on the 22d last, the French hav
ing undertaken to evacuate it on the 19th. Some
disturbances have broken out in Bosnia, Garni-j
loa, and Austrian Gallicia, hut the causa is not
mentioned. Troops were marching in those di
rection i to repress them. That in Camuila, is
stated to have been quelled. The intelligence
from Madrid is to the 7th last, at which lime
Bonaparte was expected to appear shortly in
Spain, at the head of a large force—Soult had
arrived In that capital. The peace between
France and Austria was known there on the 2d.
These papers also contain Holler’s Proclamation,
recommending submission to the Tyrolean# ;'
but it bears evident marks of French fabrications.
The king has been pleased to constitute and
appoint the Bight Honorable Spencer Perceval;
the Right Honorable John Foster, Chancellor of
His Majesty’s Exchequer of Ireland.
Private letters from Holland state, that king
Louis, being unfriendly to the anti-commercial
system, which Napoleon wishes to enforce in
that country, is to be transferred to Westphalia,
tmd that King Jerome is to receive the crown of
Holland in exchange.
It is said, that Mr. Perceval is not to vacate his
seat for Northampton, in consequence of his
new commission as First Lord of the Treasury,
because he who stood second in the former com
mission now happens, only by the event of the
death of the duke of Portland, to stand first.
This evasion of the spirit of a positive ami
wholesome law, we trust will not be tacitlvsub
mitted to. ” .
Hamburgh, Nov. 21. 1
The French Consul in Denmark has giv
en public notice, that Peruvian bark is no
longer to be classed among the East India
commodities which are not permitted to
pass the line of the French Officers of Cus
toms.
Portsmouth, Dec. .2.
Yesterday the Recruit, capt. Murrav, and
the Wolverene, capt. Carr, arrived at this
port, from Vera Cruz, having on board up
i wards of three millions of dollars, on Gov
ernment and private account. The Spanish
! line of battle ships San Ander, and San Dra- j
j rnon, had sailed with 12,000.000 of dollars
for Cadiz ,- the latter ship was accompani-j
ed by the Undaunted, capt. Maling, she not
being deemed sea worthy ; and a lew days
after she sailed, she sprang a-lcak, which
obliged her put into Porto Rico.
GRECIAN ISLANDS.
Cor fu, Oct. 15.
The English are about to menace our Is
lands. The following proclamation has been
published. All the citizens have flown to
arms :
In the name of the Emperor of the French,
King ot Italy, and piotector ot the Confe
deration of the Khinei
Inhabitants of die Ionian Islands,
" Flic enemies of the human race—the
English-whose ambition has for twenty
years kept Europe plunged in all the hor
rors ot war, arc now turning their arms a
gainst you. After having for two ycarscon
hned their efforts to the seizure of a few
ships, and the pillaging of seamen and pas
sengers, like pirates, they have the audaci
ty to approach your shores. What do these
enemies of all nations warn ? Do they come
as generous conquerors to bring you good
laws, a wise administration, to check the
vices and the crimes which have for so long
a time polluted your happy country ; to tlrs
troy the spirit of party among you—to pre
vent one class being oppressed by another
—to vender ali the citizens equal in the eye
of the law i
“ No; all these bbenefits which you have be
gun to experience under the government of
Napoleon, il»e protector of your religion—
who is preparing for you still greater bles
sings, they are coining to take away from
you. To that amity, which, with perfidious
hand they • ffer you, are attached tne venali
ty of tribunals-the abuse of public power;
assassinations and intestine division-the
despotism of a few and die oppressions of
the. greater number-with all the evils
which have only ceased to afflict you for
the Ir.’t two yi ars. But what docs it signi
fy to them, whether you are happy ot mise
rable i
‘Are tney concerned alirut votir fate i To
turn toward:; oilier countries the storm which
is about to fall upon themselves—to retard
their own inevitable destruction by that of
ail the kings and all the Nations they can
scdnee-inis is the whole of the object
which they have in view. Hut listen to the
follow ing ten idle lesson and experience :—
1’hcy Lave seduced the King of Sardinia, 2c
that sovereign has been erased from the list
of European Powers. They seduced the
King «>f Naples, and he has lost his crown.
They seduced the King of Prussia, and he
has lost half his dominions. They seduced
the Emperor of Germany, who fs about to
losv* a considerable portion of those which re
mained to him. They soduced the Nobles
2c Monks of tip tin ; £c in a short tin." these
Ni blcs 2c Monks v/iil be no more. And in this
manner, according in the Decree pronounced
by Napoleon, wdi |>cmh all the blind par
tizahK of a nation which Europe ha.* pres
et iin d.
" Inhabitan*s of the Ionian Islands ! re

governs you era < 1 then to rule over you —
and in them behold the sufferings to which
ike Er.mi.di wish again to subject you
i Slink, of the fate of so many kings and so
many nations whom they deceived-and
there see the late which thev are prepar
ing for you. Oh ! drive far from vour shores
those enemies of die human race, and of our
religion, whom France, Russia. Denmark,
l’russia, Spain, Italy, all the powers and all
the countries with which you are connected
hy commercial intercourse, have driven
from their ports. The names of those who
will, iu this instance, signalize their fideli
ty and their attachment, shall be inserted
in a list and presented to the Great Napo
leon, who rewards those virtues with so
much m agnif ccnce. n>e names of cowards
and traitors snail also he inserted in a list, cc
they shall be devoted to rigorous chastise
tnent and eternal infamy.
“ lie calm and confident in the measures
that have been taken to secure for vou the
necessary supplies. Every thing i.iis been
provided for your safety. Our enemies are
powerful only by intrigue and corruption._
You are defended by a brave army, com
manded by a skilful general. If you resist
the seductions of our enemies, you have no

“ 1 be people here ure very much alarmed,

“ Flie present ruling powers have declar

prevailing opinion is the present ministry of
England are less favorable to America than
the former—so says the information from
thence, and that lord Wellesley has accepted
the ofpee of Secretary for foreign affairs.—
It is reported here, that the Spanish minis
ter to America has not been received, but
the news seems to create no uneasiness here,
especially among the trading people.
“It is my opinion, that the Spanish will
not possess a single foot of Spain six nu.

Yesterday arrived (ion vessil No. 65,
I from Jamaica, via liavunna—Wc are in
debted to Captain Curtcr for the following
|communication :
On the arrival of Gun Vessel No. 65, at
Port Royal, Brown was at Kingston, lie
1 had deposited about 10t),OCO dollars in fjohl
in the han*?.» of Messrs. Dirks, Orr and
('.lark. The vessel arrived Sate in th- c~
veiling, and early next iiKirnii)" lie applied
to tho->e gentlemen audr.'itaine l bills drawn
by them in their own favar and blank en
dorsed by them on David Dicks. Esquire,
Church Street, Condon, f»r the amount. On
application to the Duke of Manchester for
the arrest and delivery of Brown, he stated
the case to be “one in which he did not
think lie couhl interfere with pronri
! ety.:’
j A warrant was obtained from the Mayor
J to apprehend aucl bring Brown before him ;
i but it was not of authority sufficient to
j search for him, nor could one of that des
joriptionh- obtained. The hills arc adver
i tised, and information has been transmitted
■ to nut* minister at the court of St. James, to 1
J endeavor to stop the payment of them. In this, !
!nur agent at Jamaica seems inclined to lie- i
J lievc, he will succeed. A few days lie fore |
• ti'.e departure of 65 from Jamaica, Brown
I tent word to tile Commercial agent of the
! United States, that lie should prosecute him
Dor defaming his character bv the adver
tisement he inserted in the newspaper.
Messrs. Dicks, Orr and Claik, a house
of grevt respectability in Jamaica, seem anx
ious to do every tiling to s <>p the payment
of the hills, in oi tier that lie maybe enabled
to refund the money now in their hands.
The commander of the Felucca, Watson,
claimed.protect.ioii as a British subject, lie
was taken before the assistant jn !ge of the
supreme court and tried. The Judge, John
[Jacques, Esq. after hearing the causa of his
detention, ordered the Martial on the buck
of the writ of habeas corpus, to remand
[him. The officer who had charge of him
[could not immediately convey him on board,
i because he had to attend an election. lie
'Confined him in prison, 6c Watson attempt
ed to escape. He then put him in the stocks.
[ Unfortunately Judge Jacques was a candid > 'e
fertile Assembly, and the adverse partv I
seized the opportunity of exciting the cl i- :
mol* of the mob, by representing a British ’
subject confined to be sent for trial to a I
foreign government. This placed she Judge ;
in a singular dilemma. He must either re-I
lease Watson or lose his election—he chose ;
the former.
A villain named Alien Kennedy, who
owned the Felucca previous to her arrest
by this vessel, has received from Brown a
bout 2,7*00 pounds sterling, which he says
is to indemnity him forth: v?ssel and car
go—yet it is pretty weU known the latter
bid not belong to him.
He told me that Brown was at a private
boarding house in the West end of the town ;
but he would not inform sne what house ;
aiuladded, that as they were countrymen,
lie would not inform against him. This
fellow offered the bills after they were ad
vertised, at a discount to the drawers, which
was rejected with indignation.
No doubt Brown was in Jamaica when I
sailed.
