PARIS PAPERS.

PARIS. serr. 7.
Prince Leopold of Saze-Coburg, consort of the
late Princes* Charlotte of Wales, arrived at Lae-
sanne on the 30th of A .gust. on his way from Geneva.
Having dined at the hotel du Faucon. he continued
his route for Berne. where he will visit his sister the
Grand Duchess Constantine of Russia.

The Constitetioo of the Grand Duchy of Baden,
which we have announced as having appeared, is
now published. It establishes a system of natioual
representation, very similar to that contained in the
Hanoverian Charter. The State) 'Grimm) of the
Country (Landsionrie) are divided into two China.
ben,. The first Chambe► is composed—lse, 'Of the
Princes of t he Grand Ducal House; *d, Of the heads
if houses formerly immediate; 3d, of the territorial
Bishop and a superior ecclesiastic, who shall be no.
initiated for life by the Grand Duke, with the rank
of o Mime; 4th, of right deputies from the pat
amnia! Nubility ; 3th, of Iwo deputies from the Usti•
versifies of the Grand Dechy; 6tb, of sock other
Persons as shell be nominated members of this
Chamber, without distinction of bict hor rank. The
number of these persons shall never surplus right.

The second Chamber is fanned of silty-ti►rea re.
preventatives et towns and bsiliwicks, according to
A schedule of division annexed to the Charter. These
representatives shell be chosen by certain electors.
Those who are members of the first Chamber or
eligibly for this Chamber, or those who have the
right of electing the deputies from the patrimonial
Nobility, can neith►.r be Onion for the nomination
of members for the second Chamber, nor be nomi.
nated representative,. Independent of this restric-
tion, none can be a representative in the second
Chamber who is not of some Christian persuasion,
who is not aged thirty years, who does not possess a
capital at least 10,000 Burins, or an annual revenue
of 1,500 florins, and who does not also pay direct
taxer.

The public functionaries, ecclesiastics, and per-
eons engaged in public employment, are not eligi..
tile within there bailiwicks where they exercise
their functions. The representatives of the towns
and bailiwicks are nwiniustrel for eight years, in
such a manner as that the second Chamber shall be
rescued by goarters every two years.
The Provincial States shall be assembled et least
t►ery two years. No as shell be levied without
the consent of the States. The budget shall be
framed every two years. The Constitution recog-
nises individual liberty, and the responsibility of
Ministers. The principle of the freedom of the
Press is admitted, but the deeisionsof the German
Diet will be followed with respect to the means of
carrying it into rffrct. The Constitution proclaims
solemnly 'the indivisibility of she Grand Duchy,
.sud confirms the seeds of succession established by
the family asstetes.

A Protocol has been peblished 'here rotative 4o
the Stodents of our University. many of whom have
been travelling through the country to obtain sig-
natures to a petition, the object of whicit is the
establishment of the States. This °Skint docu-
ment announces. that it is far from the intention of
his Royal Highness the Grand Doke to restrain
his subjects from the expression of their views; lout
oily to suppress so palpable an assumption of au-
thority on the part of the Student% whoo neglecting
their own interests. aliment themselves from their
audits to interfere with public Omits. In couse•

rest such of the Students as may persist iu their
projects, and to escort them to Giessen.

TRINIDAD. JULY 30, IBM

DWI --, Since your departure we have had
several arrivals from Angostura, and the most
agreeable tidings we have from thence is the arri-
val of Bnon and his squadron, is the Oros*lto,
wish oboes 400 troops, 8,000 stand of arms,
and 300 barrels of powder. This has placed Boli-
var in a situation to recommence hostilities, and by

au arrival yesterday, we leant that he is proceeding
to the province of Cantina, to s►sist Marino in the
attack by land, whilst Brion proceeds round to at-
tack it by sea. Thus, in a few days, we may
expect to hear of the reduction of the town and
fortifications of Capons. I saw a letter hymn
liforiato, dated the 15th instant, in which be men-
tions having gained three signal victories over the
Royalists, near Cumin ; that the supply of arms
and emetunition had enabled him to increase his
army considerably ; and that his prospects were
never more brillient than at the present moment.
One division of his army is now on its march for
Guiria. in this Golf, which will ►educe that place
immediately. and thereby deprive the Royaliots of
p place of reticle:roue fur their cursed piratical gun-
boats, which have lately committed every species
of barbarity. plunder. and murder. on British sub-
Jetts trading to the Main. Encloard l send you
two pffidavits of two persons who have been
captured by them. in which you will see the
horrid manner in which two di.tiuguid►ed Bri-
tish Clificers (Lieutenants Harris and Watson),
were murdered, by the Captain of one of these
armed beats. The circumstances are enough to
rouse the whole nation, yet our Governor has
taken no notice whatever of the matter. A numbee
of our vessels have been lately captured on our
shore. at anchor. and carried away by these law.
less rascals. Were Independent cruisers to com-
mit sue-teeth part of the crimes that these Royal-
ists do, the Governor would have interdicted all
communication with them ; but such is his preju-
dice in favour of the latter, that the other day he

actually sent the harbour-master in an armed
hunch to convoy two boots with ammunition for
the garrison of Custom ; and this he will tell you
is strict neutrality, when at the same time he will
not allow a pound of powder, or any kind of war-
like stores, to be takru (ruin hence, by any one
connected with the Patriot commerce. These

nett ens 'cannot be known at home. We learn yes-
terday, by au arrival from Angostura, that Pres

LONDON,
FRIDAY. SEPTEMIIIII II ISIS.

We have been favoured by a Gentleman just ar-
rived from Venezuela with the perusal of the
Second Number or a Paper. entitled the Correa
del Orinoco, published at Angostura. It bears
date the ed of Jaly, 1818. The increase of news-
papers in countries circumstanced as the venni

provinces of South America are at present, is equi-
valent, in our opinion, to the increase of strength
in the people; for nothing contributes so essentially
to the developeineut of their inherelit powers, and
to the successful assertion of their rights, as hav-
ing the means of communicating and understatsi-
ing individual and general opinions. The particu-
lar Number of the Correa elol Qriaoco .tow before
us, contains no intelligence respecting military
operstions, and is, therefore, in the present uncer-
tainty that prevails in this country with regard to
Trans-Atlantic affsirs, so far devoid of interest.
The Editor. however, endeavour. to compensate for
this deficiency, by publishing his own notes upon an
extract of one of General MORILLO.II dispatches
to the Court of Madrid, which had in the year
11116 been intercepted by the Buenos Ayres
cruisers. ■nd published in the Gazelle E.rtraor-
denary of that city. The length of time that has
elapsed since the original publication of the die.
patch, deprives it of any interest at the present mo.
meat ; we shall, therefore, content ourselves kith
making a few extracts from the notes that have
bees lately attached to it. Mostm.o is designated
by the title of Cabeeilla, or Shallow Brains, and
upon this the Editor observes-

Amidst sometimes give them tides siitilar t 6 those
which they, either its conteSopt or derisiiiris frr-
greedy latish upon oars. Bat independent of thin
coosideritions the title of C'sbeeilla, in the usual
acceptation of the word, is singularly suited to
Moiti.Lo, as one of the principal traitors who eold
their country, already free, already possessed of en
excellent Constitution, full of glory, and elevated
to its ancient dignity. Sold it, I say, and sacri-
ficed it to a despot, although they had a short time
before sworn in the presenCe of the nation not to
admit him into their territory, unless he at the
some time wrote to renounce every pretension to
arbitrary power. Were it not for bloat TAO, Emo.
O'Ddi oat., and the other Winnow-brained block-
heads. Spain hid not loot the fruit oleo many /seri.
(ices, so much constancy, and ao many noble and

la another note the Editor soya—'• The cla
niency of FSIDINAND VII. is as well known as
that of Naao and CALIGULA. This 11.10111LLO
gave us a brilliant proof of it ; when proclaiming it

dially invited the emigrants born the main land to
return to ffieir homes, promised them restitution of
their properties, and ere', offered them a peonage on
Ward his squadron. But ar only fifteen persons
ercepted this favour, Only jtyleen were watutinated.
The deed was perpetrated in secret, tin the (lowa
coast, not frr born the harbour of Brreelone.
Will Mont Lt,o deny that lie pee promises the
mow perfidious, in terms the most solemn and posi-
tive ? Will he deny that, relying on these, the ton.
happy persons embarked on board his squadron for
Bai velum., on the clOth of April. 1815, in sight of the
people of itlergarite ? Will he deny that, though he.
looging to the principal famifirr, and bring them-
belies well known. none of them were ever teen to
disembark at Barcelona, nir were ever met with in
any other place ? There being then sufficient evidence
that he took them on board liir fleet. dirt on hid
passrge he experienced tio acciticia, and that all of
them have disappeared, he cannot deity that he
esassainoted them. The only point on which a &Add
could be entertnined would lie upon the mode of
perpetrating the crime, if many of those who had
participated bp the murder, horror-struck at its
atrocity, had not revealed the secret iu many places.
The following are the names of those unfortunate
men, whose infamous astersiontiou roused these Pro-
vinces anew, and successively all Venezuela:—

SIIION BOLIVAR.

With the sincerest sutisfection we have to state,
that tranquillity is at length effectustly.restored to
the town of Manchester, by the return of all the
spinners, weavers, and colliers to their usual em.
ployments. This we had anticipated, and the re.
stilt proves that our coufidenee in the good sense,
generosity, and judgment, of the great body of the
working people, was not misplaced. It affords a
practical comment upon the rules of good govern.
ment, and witches the propriety of•influencing the
people by means of their reason, rather than of at.
tempting to control them by military violence. It
is ii,t. aided. we understand, by the mate► mann-
.facturers, in admitting the men to their former em.
ploymeut, to draw a line of distinction between
those who are supposed to have been the ringleada
era iu the tetra-owt, and others who merely followed
in their train. The former are to be excluded from
the factories, while the latter are admitted—merely

because the masters cannot avoid it. The difference
to these ringleaders will bo, that they must be sup.
ported from the poor-rates in idleness, while the
less crimival are indulged with hard labour for six.
teen hours in the four-and.tweiny. If such a reso.
lotion were dictated by any other feeling than a
short-sighted &lire of revenge, we should be our.

prised at it; but the WeAtnesa of the m:,ti►e sc.
counts for the absurdity of the action.
We understand that Bartel!. Johnstm, and
D►awatottd, accused of exciting the refractory
work-people to violence, by inflammatory 114.
tongues, have postponed their trials at Chester to
the ensuing Assizes. They have been wpm-NI to
find bail, two sureties in tOO/. each, and Ilirmselved
in 6001. on the several said joint indictments pre-
fea red against them.

A Flanders Mail arrived last night, with Pi. erg
from brussels to the Bth instant. Part of thr
equipage of the Emperor or AUSTRIA arrived ut
Aix-la-Chapelle on the ZI inst. The King of
Penni* is expected on the 24th. The following
are extracts :

drawn by two and four hones, and eighty saddle horsrs.
Prince Hardemberg will make but a short stay in this city.
His Highness is going to the Rhine, where he will have KO
Interview with Prince Metterakb.

It seems to be certain that the King of Prussia will be
here on the 241 h or 25th of this month, and that the Suer.
reigns will make their solemn entry oil the 27th. Persons
who appear to be well informed, affirm that the stay of the
Sovereigns at Aix-la-Chapelle will hardly exceed three week,.

Thei► Royal Highnesses the Prince snit Prince's of
Orange arri►ed lure yesterday afternoon, and will rennou
here a few days before they go to Spa. The desire of see-
ing this illartriouo pair attracted a great concourse of pr-
awns to the theatre, where the Prince in (set appeared; ton
the public was disappointed of seeing the Prioress, •ha
was probably fatigued front the journey. Ai soon as Ilia
Ptinceappeared ra his box he was recei►ed with loud accla-
mations, which seemed sensibly to affect bits.

We have received Paris Papers of Monday last.
The Grand Duke of BADEN ham given his soh-
jects a Constitution founded upon the mil% jii.t
principle—that of representation, A sketch of it
will be found in the extracts we have made from
the French Pa;,erti, by which it will he seen, that it
smiles civil sod religious liberty to all I
the State, merely requiring that the Represetitaiive
Body should be formed of Christians. It is re-
markable that this principle of univerod toler-
ation prevails in the several forme of Cons nations
we have lately seen emanating frnm the heads of
foreign governments for the bentfii of their sub-
jects. Even in Bavaria, which had (nog been d:s.
anguished by the intolerant spirit of its govt. no.
Went, individuals are not prevented from sr.,
their county by every possible means, in c011.,
quence of their religious opinions. How long will
the Parliament of Great Britain refuse, in this re-
spect, to acknowledge the light of reason, and the
wholesome principles of a sound policy ?

A very interesting private communication
'petting the affairs of the South American Patriot*
will be found in another part of our Paper. Bat
however gratifying may be the detail it contains of
victories obtained in the cause of independence, se
must more particularly direct the attention of tle
British public to the authentic statement it ofkrs
of the cruelties practised by the Spanish 1103111i:4s
upon British subjects, and especially of the hor-
rid murder of Lieutenants HARRIS and WA f-
SON. it seems that the wretches commanding
the Spanish verse!, of war on the coast of S ran
America, conceive themselves bound to CM-
der every Englishman who has the •: tll. i•I
ifiture
to fall into their hands. Were our nation at s.r
with Simi'', we should not be surprised ht ti n
conduct from the characteristic brot.,lity of 51.4.
niards ; but it is indeed a matter of
the government of Madrid should have if.hileihisi.4
orders at a time when the Cabinet of St. ./.1111r,4.4
appears ready to undergo the obloquy abroad, and
the danger at home, of supporting the c.ti‘e of
FERDINAND'S despotism against men who had lout
laboured under oppression, and are How t.tiogglo,g
to obtain their freedom. Such conduct on tie
part of Spain is the sure mode of excitiog all the
indignation of this country against her, and a
arming iu favour of the Colonies all the I;iiti•li
subjects who for commercial or any other note
may desire to visit the South American sea,. We
consider every Englishman in a state of aii.• aerlo
Spaniatds, at least on the other ride of the
Atlantic, and so placed, that he has no chance for
his life, but by incapacitating his antagonist hoot
attempting it.
