The Paris Papers of Frii'ly reached us last
by express. Tiw li,lb wing arc extracts:—

'2o:h Ult. announce, tli t the 'fluts have taken Co-

tinning them Prince Cantueozene. This I,CW.i 1111

•Lene hat been these s'A weeks at Dreglen.

For wine days past (says our torrespondent at
•Franktint) commercial letters from Vienna Svcal:
positively of u new loan li)r Angstria. On the tOth
August, the report on the change of Fratiki;)rt was,
that negociations were already begun, and that seve-
ral rich hanlers had made their proposals. The
Austrian Minister of Finance, M. Stadion, will not
Lave recoutse to a loan without sonic pressing neves •
sity. In the- Tireittitmate of the country, there
seems no motive fir this measure, andonly the future
therefore can inform us for what purpose it is
adopted.
The trial for the Rochelle conrpiracy was brought
to a close on the sth. Four individuals were con-
eetaned to death; three were condemned to five
years' imprisonment, one to three years' imprison-
ment, and three to two years' imprisonment. The
rest were eel:pitted.

ders of the Danube, of the date of the :25111, that
new orders have been sent from Constantinople to
Bulgaria, to send ae.e.y the second division cf troops
from Macelonia and Thessaly ; a disposition which
may be more easily excused, since one part of the
Russian army remains quiet in its cautonmen:s, and
the other is to return into the interior. This retro-
grade movemeut has been officially unnunneed to
the Porte by the Minister of Austria. 'I he Divan
in doing, as it pretends, what was required of it, has
insisted, on two points with the Ministers of th.;
mediating Powers, viz.—the dissolution of the Rus-
sian troops stationed cn the irole Tu r!:ey, and
that a ItUSSIIII ambassador be immediateiy sent to
Constantinople. The two Courts, it is said, have
promised to transmit these two demands to tile Court
of St. Petersburg!), and they have Oval the Porte
hopes of succeeding.
Letters from Vienna of the 24th remark, that
there is no longer any question of war between the
Porte and Russia. It is even said that the affairs of
the Creels, by the wise dispositions of the Austrian
eebioct, wi.l be arranged to their advantage.

At:OHM:MB, AUG. 3J.—A letter from Marseilles
of the 16th of this month says—" We have news
eat Missolonglii of the 21st July, whiel aNsures us
that the affairs of the Gce,..- are going on wcll, in

Nothing of importance has taken place in Con-

A Lisbon trail has artired with letters and papers
to the 9.5 th ult inclusive. Nu mention is made of
the state of the negotiation fur the loan contract.—
The troops, known by the last mail to have been
embarked fin. Bahia, remained on board, where they
have continued eleven days, and were still without
orders for proceeding to their destination. It was
inferred front thence by some, that tit: object of the
expedition was about to be abandoned ;,but the tone
of the ministry, who were constantly urging deci-
sive measures, furnished, with others, a conclusive
argument against that supposition, and led to the
belief that tile delay arose solely from theintention
of strengthening the armament. The neve bank of
Lisbon commenced its transaction on the 25th ult.
On the 17th there was read in the Cortes a letter
front the Minister for Foreign Ail:4s. containing
a note from the British Charge d'Affaires, &mind-
ing the suspension of the additional duty of 15 per
cent. on British woollens. It was refiared to the
Special Committee on that subject. At the same
sitting it was stated that the accounts brought by a
Portuguese brig, in 64 days, from the province of
Alagoas, in Brazil, showed that province to be per,
fictly tranquil. The despatch front the Provincial
Junta of Para, and those from the Government of
Alviits, expressed the perfect adherence tit the in-
habitants to the mother country, and their firm
resolution to preserve nisi:date their oath to the
constitution of the Cartes.

Some measures, it appears,. are in contemplation
at the Bank, for reducing their capital, or the an-
nual amount paid fimr interest. Different plans
have been proposed fur the consideration of the Di-
rectors. One of them• is, to reduce the interest at
once from ten to seven and a half per cent. and •to
tender to the proprietors in return Jim their accept-
ance of that diminished rate, a bonus of 25 per cent.
on the capital. The other is to employ the surplus
capital of the establishment in buying and cancel-
ing Bank Stock, until its total amount is brought
within the preseribad limits. Whether thase or any
others will be in reality acted on, time alone will
determine. That something of the sort must be
attempted is pretty certain, un account of the ina-
bility of the Bank, in the present state of the plu-
my market and of commercial affairs, to find etu-
ployment for their capital. This has proved to be
equally the case. notwithstanding the diminution of
the rate of discounting front Hve to four yor cent.
ut before that measure was adopted.
Orders and regulations fur the observance of the
Lard Bishop of Bath and %Veils, for the inure effectual
perflamanee of their duties under new Marriage
Act, have been issued from the Ecclesia►tical Calm

ter of Lord H orris (the General who so distinguisoed
himsslf at the taking of Seringspatam) was united,
on Tuesday last, to Mr. Bradley, tt gentleman of

tinnily mansion, in Great George-street, IVestmin-
