PARIS PAPERS.

PARIS. NOVEMBER 25.

The King heart! Mos yesterday iu his apart-
and afterwards presided at a Council of his
Alimstero.

His Royal Highness Monsieur, on the day before
Ye,terd:,y, announced to Colonel Grouchy, that his
lather, the Marshal, should be comprised in the
ariine.ty pronounced in pursuance of the first Arti-
cle of the Law of January 1816.
Accusations for seditious cries multiply in the
depa►tment of the Sarthe. Five young men of
Hecht were in the last month taken before the
Ar,ize Court of Mans, accused of having. in •
state of intoxication, and iu the midst of their revels,
invoked the natue of Bonaparte and of his sun.

A report prevailed yesterday that George 111.
King of England, is dead. The English Papers
did nut anise yesterday in Paris.

Lette►s from Cbanspoigne say, that the abuse of
the new wine this year has been attended with bad
consequences. It has preserved a great sweetness,
i•i consequence of which it ferments in the stomach
"rut, greater activity than usual, and operates upon
the animal economy in a deceitful manner.

GERMAN PAPERS.

MONDAY. NOVEMBER 49. 1819•

The several meetings of the Dake of Voat's
Council, as Custos of the KING, litiVe naturally
excited the alarm of the nation for the health of
our venerable and afflicted Sovereign. ‘Ve do not
profess to be accurately informed on this subject,
but we have reason to believe that his MAJESTY is
seriously indisposed beyond the ordinary infirmities
of his advanced age. It has been stated that the
KING IS this day somewhat better than GI the
earlier part of the week.—( Windsor Express.)

We have received Paris Papers of Thursday
last. One of them states, that a rumour prevailed
in Paris on Wednesday, that our venerable So-
vereign had closed his long and virtuous life.
We rear from his great age and close confinement,
■ud from the character of the last monthly Bulle-
tin, that such a report will, at no very distant pe-
riod, be resulted. With respect to the Royal Suf-
ferer himself; the enjoyment of life' has lung since
passed away ; and when to the bitterness of his
present malady are soperadded the evils that
necessarily accompany old age, the interruption of
mere human existence must be considered a happy
release to. him from accumulated affliction; but
his people cherish the memory of his virtuous qua-
lities with. suck sincere affection, that they will
learn with unfeigned sorrow the arrival of the fatal
augment that will deprive them fur ever of their
'• Good .M King."
The. most &portant effect which would result

. .
fiont hi• MAJWITY's demise, would he the dissnin-
tion of the present Parliament within six months
after that event.
The yellow fever has, we are happy to learn,
Mitigated its violence at Cadiz. On the et'
instant, the number of sick was reduced to 3.793.
and hopes were entertained that in a short lime the
town would be quite freed front its ravages.

We have extracted from a Dublin Newspaper
the concluding part of an hirtoricel ►eview of the '
political state of Ireland. The article is entitled
Ara Address to Constitutional Engtislarnen, to whom
it is recommended at the present momentous crisis
■s un example replete with warning and instruction.
In its detail of the inroads mule upon the newly-
acquired Constitution of Ireland down to its final
overthrow, the following passages derive peculiar
inte►est from the circumstances of the present times.
" Public meetings of the people," says the writer,
" constitutionally convened to deliberate upon
grievances the most notorious and intolerable, were
held to be high treason in disguise, and were
dispersed or overawed by military force. To
be the friend of freedom, was to he marked fur
public dishonour—no rank nor integrity could
save the victim :—for instance, two popular Noble-
men, the Duke of LetsisTEß and the Earl of
CII•RLEMONT, both of them venerable from their
exalted station, their years, and their tried virtues,
were degraded from their offices of Lords Lieute-
nant of counties : the first was dismissed, the other
insulted into a resignation. Upon the subject of
military violence, I can mention one or two examples,
which at the present anoment may seem worthy of
your attention.

" The town of Belfast had lung taken an ho-
nourable part in the cause of national reform, and
was regarded as our great northern emporium of
public spirit; it therefore became expedient to ter-
rify and humiliate it. In looking over the records
of those tunes, 1 find that ' on the 15th of Match,
*793 (at a season of prolouud local tranquillity),
four troops of dragoons having arrived in the vici-
nity by clitferent routes, gallopped into the centre of
the town by its two opposite extremities with their
s•brts draw,,, as if in full charge.' fhe account
goes on to say, that ' they proceeded, to attack
erery person of erery age and sex, who happened
to he in the streets, end wounded many very se-
rerrly.'—Would you nut have supposed (without
the date) that the writer was here descriliing your
16&1► of August ? This o/►trage was never brought
before the Parliament. It was w/wIl kuowo that
any demand of inquiry haw it w uld have been
answered by ' referring Ms vicar s to the ordinary
tribunals of the country.'
g,
"At a subsequent period eeting at which the
sla
Duke of ',MATER was to preside, was publicly
announced to take place in the county of Kildare,
to consider of • Petition to the Throne on the re-
dress of grievances. The evening before the day of
the intended assembly, • military force with field-
pieces, &c. appeared iii the neighbourhood : the
Commanding Officer, on being questioned, can-
didly admitted that he had positive orders to fire
upon the people, if they should persist in their
design of assembling. No politic caution to that
effect having been given, a Nobleman now in Ire-
land, who was to have taken a part in the proceed-
ings of the following cloy, waited upon Mr. PEL-
HAM, the Secretary, to ascertain the truth of so
extraordinary a tneasure. Ile found the Secretary
as candid as the Officer, and, in consequence, an-
nouncing without loss of time to the public the
violence which awaited them, fortunately prevented
an incalculable effusion of human blood. If my
memory is correct, it was for his intention of pre-
siding on this occasion that the Duke of LElNsme
wi-: degraded from the Lord Lieutenancy of the
county.

" These are a few specimens of the workings of
the Purr system in Ireland. The limits of a News.
paper do not enable me to dwell on all its parts ;
upon its mischievous and unnecessary suspensions
of the Constitution; the enormous powers granted
to Magistrates, and (the inevitable consequence)
their enormous abuses, followed up in doe order
with acts of indemnity ; its measures of summary
vengeance on the popular Press; its corrupt info-
cote on the administration of justice; its open en-
couragement of venal Sheriffs, packed Jerks, spies,
and informers. This could not last without produc-
ing consequences which a child might have predicted.
The people, wearied and baffled in their constitu-
tional efforts, became impressed with the conviction
that revolution was more attainable than reform,
and resorted to violence. You know the issue."

The conclusion of this article is given in another
port of our Psper.

We have received German Papers to the 21st
instant, from which we have made extracts. The
unfortunate SAND, who assassinated KOTZEBUE,
has. according In report, been transferred to Meutz,
for tnal, before the tiew-fougled tribunal esta-
blished by the legitimate Sovereigns of Europe in
that city.

lena station, where she had continued upwards of
three years. She was relieved by the Menai, 1.
Captain F. MotesßY, C.B. which ship havin•
landed part of the specie at St. Helens, which
she took out from England. had sailed for the
Cape with the remainder. The Eurydice left the
Island on the 3d of October. BONAPARTE was
then living, anal continued in safe custody. This
is the full extent of the information brrinv,ht
concerning him. The French physician and Clotho.
lie priest, appointed to constitute a part of his
household, had arrived. It appears they took their
passage in a small English brig. The ships left at
St. Helena were—Conqueror, 74, Capt. STANraLL
(flag-ship) ; Tees, Capt. BENNIE; Sophia, Sir
WM. WISEMAN ; and Sappho, Capt. PLUMRIDGE.
The Menai, Nautilis, and Redwing were at the
Caere; the I eterel at A'crnsion. The crew of the
Sophia had been very sickly, produced by the ha-
rassing nature of the service, i. r. the blockade of
the Island, and the want of fresh supplies. Every
article of domestic consumption is very scarce, and
exorbitantly dear at St. Helena ; pigs, which is the
only animal food the island affords, are sold at Is.
per lb. alive ; a goose of 41b. weight cost, two
days before the Eurydice sailed, one guinea, and
fowls eight shillings each. Our Officers feel the
station as a banishment from every social com-
fort, attended, too, by the deprivation of most
all of their necessary wants. The Hyerna sailed
from St. Helena for Englund about the 20th of
September. Mr. STOKOE, late Surgeon of the
Conqueror, and medical attendant on BONAPARTE,
is cowing home passenger in that ship. The
Court Martial on this Gentleman lasted four
days, alien the Court determined that the
whole of the ten charges had been proved against
him, and did, therefore, sentence him to be dis-
missed from his Majesty's service. The first
charge, we understand, was, for having held cont•
munications with BONAPARTE otherwise than in his
professional capacity ; sad the last, for having in
his official documents designated or described Bo-
NAPARTE: as " NAPOLEON," and the I, Patient,"
mid not as " Genera/ BONAPARTE." Mr. STOKOE
wished only to have examined two witnesses, namely,
the Count BERTRAND and General MONTHOLON,
but these persons positively refused to attend to the
mandute of the Court, and appear as witnesses.

On Tuesday the Meduca transport, Lieutenant
PRITCHARD, agent, arrived at Portsmouth from
Bermuda. The accounts she brings of the fever
which has been known to prevail there during the
mouths of August, September, October, and part
of November, prove its destructive influence, par-
ticularly to die troop. and Europeans; the native
islandera not having sutil•red in any proportion to
these ; but, we are happy to hear, that there was not
a single case among the troops when the Aledmsa
sailed. The 15th regiment, during its prevalence,
lost 100 men, and the Sappers and Miners, twelve
men out of fourteen, who arrived there in May
lust. Copt. MEacs:a, Royal Engineers, and Mr.
LEWIB, Comptroller of the Customs, were among
the victims. Their widows have returned to Eng-
land in the Medusa, with many widows of deceased
soldiers, and their children. Various were the con-
jectures as to the origin of the fever; some of which
attributed it to the peculiarity of the atmosphere,
this season, others to the arrival of, and communi-
cation with, a vessel from Jamaica. The Media.
left the Island on the 16th of October, when the
Earyalais, Captain HUSKISSON, was lying there.
She had lost two Midshipmen by the fever. The
Second Mate of the Medusa died ou the passage,
and she lost two men in the Hospital. She was put
under strict quarantine on her arrival here.

The LORD CHANCELLOR sod the VICR•CHAN.

REGENT at Calton-house•

On Saturday, at half-past twelve o'clock, a Ca-
binet Council was held at the Secretary of State's
office for the Home Department, which was folly
attended. At half-past two o'clock the Members
of the Cabinet who are Members of the House of
Commons left the Council to attended the Douse
of common., to accompany the Sreasaa in pre-
senting the Address to the Pomo MOM.

But little doubt is now entertained that the
health of our venerable Monarch is in a very pre-
carious state. Among the most fatal symptoms are,
'mho" to be numbered the roaming gleam of
reason with which he is said to have been lately
visited, and which are but too commonly the indica-
tions, in similar cases, of approaching dissolution.
The altered state of his MAJESTY, which hes for
some drys been currently believed in the city, was
talked of very freely at the Levee on Friday. It
was reported yestriday, that daring the late visits
to Windier of the different branches-of the Royal
Family, they were admitted to see his Msiawrir.
The public anxiety on this interesting subject is so
great. that it is hoped the daily bulletins will be re-.
newed.--t Saadi, Asper.)
