'PARIS PAPERS.
PARIS, lIRPTIMBER 5.
The King transacted business with the Minnie,
et Wit,, and the Duke of Richelieu.

A rrrort was comet- in the eveniwg of the 3d
that a courier est►aorrlinary. who arrived in the
course of the day, had brought intelligence of the
passage of the Pratt' by the Russian army, and of
the commencement of hostilities between Russia
aipd Turkey.—(Consiliugionnel.)

The widow of Marshal Morean died at Boor-
Beaux on the night between the 31st of August told
lit of September. M. Decazes, who had gone to
Bourdeaux to see that lady, kit it on the day after
her death.

Private intelligence has been received of
co late it date as the 9th of August. from
Constantinople. In the evening of that day
Baron Strogonoff, who had been detained in the
ruadsted near Bujiikdere, by contrary winds, set
sail, the weather having become more favourable.
The Ambassador and sore were on board a French
frigate. During the thirteen days the vessel was
laying to, a constant correspondence had been
kept up between the Ministers of England. Anse
trio, and Russia. It gave rise to expectations fa-
vuurable to peace, and it was thought that if Baron
Strogotioff had not continued the negotiation with
;which he was intrusted Ma direct way, it was merely
in obedience to the letter of the instructions which
he received from his Sovereign, as far as he was per-
_ soosilly concerned, and with regard to the differ.
daces he had had with the hlinisters of the Otto.
luau empire.
It appears certain that all the measures ndopted
at Constantinople (hitherto at least) have been on
an understanding between France, Russia. Austria,
England, Prussia, Sweden, and the Netherlands,.
There may be some particular objects of nego-
ciation between the several Powers and the Porte ;
for instance. the free passage of the Dardanelles,
the 'wan, or letters of protection given to natives
of Turkey, &c. ; but the mediation in favour of the
Greeks, is stated in letters must worthy of credit,
to be a measure of common concern. The depar-
ture of Baron Stroganoff, will not prevent the tiego-
ciasi.io on that point.—(Joureal des Debars )
M. Caravan, sou of the French Ambassador
at Vienna, is appointed Minister Plenipotentiary
to %he Court of Stutgsrd.

LON DON,

MONDAY. Sarnmesa 10, 1821.

The royal squadron sailed from Donleery on
Wednesday, and proceeded within the banks to
near Wicklow. when the wind came directly round
and headed them, so that they could not possibly
get through the Swash—this is the name of the
deep water between the Kish bank and Arklow
bank, and is so narrow, that. to guide mariners,
there are two light-houses built on Wicklow Head.;
which must be both brought in a line to the eye of
the helmsman, in order to give • right direction'
to the vessel, lest she might touch on either of the
bunks. The squadron, therefore, was obliged to
put about, and at five p. m. on Wednesday came
to its old moorings in Dunleary Harbour. after
having been at sea
that the royal squadron Sidled again on Thursday,
and proceeded direct to Holyhead. A part of the
royal household arrived at Carlton Palace on
Fe ids). night.

The Paris Papers of Wednesday and Thursday
have arrived at our Office. They announce the
departure of Baron STROGONOFF from Constanti-
nople. Ile sailed in a French frigate from that
port in the night of the 9th of August. It
wus reported at Paris that the Russian army bad
trussed the Prod', and that hostilities had com-
menced; but the report probably originated in the
departure of Baron STROGONOFF. Much as war
is at present uut of fashion, we do not content-

that up to that date Madrid eojoyed a state of per-
fect tranquillity.

Bermuda Papers to the 42cl July have been re-
ceived. It appears from one of them that • new
source of commerce has arisen in the West India
islands. of much importance as regards their pri-
vation of intercourse with the United States, under
the operation or the Navigation Act. Cargoes ad
corn have arrived from the road of Africa, which
will atnply repay the importer at the low price or
one quarter of a dollar the bushel. It is described
to be of • good quality, and similar to the flat corn
of the northern States of America, but of a kernel
smaller and whiter. It is added, that a petition
has been forwarded to England by the West podia
planters and merchants, praying that u direct
trade may be allowed, in British ships, to and from
the Baltic. By this means, it is said that our
West Indio islands will obtain their needful sop-
plies of lumber and staves on better terms than
they have done lately ; Lod, among other advan-
tages, the ships will not incur a risk of losiog
their sailors by desertion, which woos too often the
case formerly, when trading to the American
port.. Should the wishes of the West India mer-
chants and phioters be realized, it follows that
their great commercial competitor, the United
States, by its restrictive policy, will only have
forced them into a more lucrative way of disp sing
of West India produce, and of obtaining requisite
supplies for the Colonies. The chsagreeineut be-
tween Governor Loratev and die inhabitants of
Bermuda still exists to UT great Sus extent is ever.
Au itistance of his made of proceeding is given in
these Papers, wind), if faithfully related, proves
him to be very deficient in that temper and dis-
cretion which should actuate laW who hold the feint
,of government. A claim having bees, made by the
Pastor of Hamilton on some or the inhabitants fur
the payment of ecclesiastical dues, it was resisted
by them with much pertinacity, on the ground of
illegality, and two years had elapsed without any
prospect of bringing the affair to an issue. The
Pastor on this appealed to the Governor, who, on
hearing his statement, ordered instant payment of
the dues claimed ; but the parties proving refrac-
tory, were arrested by some of the soldiery, acting,
as presumed, under his Excellency's orders, and
confined in their church, and from thence, still re-
fusing payment, were earned, under military escort,
to prison.

Port Royal (*loin Curacos, with accounts of the
successful operations of the Independents ou the

that the Royalists were obliged to abandon Puerto

pendents would soon make au attack on that place.

A letter from Tortola, dated ‘nst of July, says—
" The Independents on the Main are evidently

sailed from that islaad with two females on board,
and were reported to have with them two millions

lugger, and all on board, except one, were tutu-
dered.

Accounts from Madeira of the middle of July
state, that the people in that colony seemed toesijoy
the privileges afforded by the new Constitution.—
It was supposed that some fresh regulations would
be adopted, imposing a duty on foreign flour.
wheat, and other grain, hitherto imported duty
free. The three deputies, who had beet. elected,
at Madeira trotter the new Constitution, had sailed
for Lisbon, and carried with them the remonstrances
of the people against the enormous duties Unposed
by the United States on Madeira wines. It was
supposed that a countervailing duty would be laid.
on certain articles, the produce of the United.
State'. Accounts had arrived at St. Michael's,
that the Governor of Terceira (alto had been under
confinement kr refusing to consent to the new order
of things) had been publicly murdered in the
streets, with several others. The British ship Royal
George, with a Governor for New South Water,
