Some Paris-Paiwra of the 4th were received yes-
terday. We a Ere Area* in possession of the Paris
news to the loth. Their contests, of course, are of
lot importance. The preparations for the reception of
Ar 4 RTE. at Bayonne, are said to be completed,
and StirrittEit is appointed Major-Geweral of the
French army iii Spain. From these circurnstancts,
it way be inferred, that Box APARTE will shortly set
out fur that en irter. King Jostrit advances iu his
system of reform. Ile lately issued a decree abo-
lishing the power of the Clergy in all secular oases.

A Courier arrived at i'risice STADREIIIICRWA. OD
Tuesday night, aith dispatcheilrom the Austrian
Ambassador at l'..riv. They are in answe•, we
suppose, to those sent by Martyr 1, and His Ex-
cellency's Secretary, M. rasvose, which contained
the reply of our Government to the overture male
to us fro-a the French, through the Austrian Ain-
biessador.—All expectations of its leading to a Ise-
gociation, we understand, are at en end.—France
will not accede to the terms which we suggested as
the necessary preliminary to may negociation, vim
that we should negotiate in concert with our allies,
FERDINAND VII. and the Queen of PORTUGAL.
II is reported that BONAPARTE has written a
letter to the KING Ott the subject of peace, in which
he expresses a wish that " His Majesty will deiga
to return an answer from himself." With this
wish, it is added, Ministers have advised His MA-
JESTY to comply.

In our report of the Berkshire Meeting, the speech
of the Rev. Mr. BARRY, who seconded the Amend-
ment, and oppolisfi the Address, was accidenltllly
omitted. The Rev.•Gentletnan pronounced a warm
panegyric on Minister*. for their forbearance in not
impending the Habeas Carpus Act, and for per-
muting the litninished exerci-e of the liberty of
the press. With respect to those expeditions which
had been called rash, it ought to he recollected.
that rash enterprises were sometimes successlbl.
Their system of taxation was very considerate ;
and, with respect to Ireland, he contended, that the
people of that country wanted nothing. not even re-
ligious ; that they enjoyed it in the most
perfect degree ; and that, if some persons were dis-
suti46ed, it was because they had not power to coo-
troul the State.

A Messenger was di■patched, on Tuesctay, from

It was reported on Tuesday night in the city, that

tween the United States and France.

The Master of a vessel, arrived, on Tuesday, from
Walcheren, mates, that the French, in re-taking pos-
erosion of the island, had hitherto not molested the
inhabitants or their property, and no fears were en-
tertained of the general seizure and coafiscetion of
merchandise, which was at first apprehended.
The following is, we understand, a tolerably cor-
rect account of a case which appeared in a morning
paper of Tuesday, bat which we declined to no-
tice, conceiving, from its affectation of ►mystery, and
obvious anxiety to attract public notice, that, al-
though there might be some foundatio►► in the state-
meut,the facts were greatly ea aggerated,or perverted:
" The accounts of Mr. Geo nos VI Luting, Paymas-
ter of Marines, having been for some time coosider-
ably in smear, attracted the particular attention of
the Noy Board ; the examinatiort being completed
to the end of the year 1004. a balance or 280,0001
appeared upon the face of the account to be due to
the Public. This balance, arising upon an Acemoust
Carrera only, affo►ded no means of judging co►-
rectly of the actual amount ; hut as the sum was
so large, and as it was still probable that there must
be a considerable sum in the Accountant's hands,
he was called upou to give in the remainder of his
accounts without delay, and to account for whale% er
might be due from him to the Public. With this
demand Mr. V11.1.11i111 was unable, as he stated, to
comply, by reason of the extent sod intricacy of his
accouuts, and the number of his Sub-Accountants;
and he therefore requested that seine time might be
allowed far this purpose; but iii order to obviate the
possibility of his increasing or employing in the mean
time the balance in his hands,- he tendered, at the
same time, the resignation of his office,and offered to
put into the bands ofGoverument his estates and pro-
perty of every description, as a set unity to the public
for any balance that might finally he declared against
him. Upon this ground, and acco►npenied by these
securities, his resignation was accepted, and an ar-
rangement has, as we understand, been made for
the speedy examination and nil liquidation of the
accounts. We hear that the office of Pay mover
of Minors is in future to be conducted upon a dif-
ferent plan, by which, in conformity with the pre-
sent practice of other public offices, the Lalaiii es
will no longer remain its the hands of the account-
ant, but will be deposited in the Bank of England."
