French Papers arrived late last night, but they
are totally destitute of interest. The accounts from
Naples continue satisfactory, A ereat portion Of
the Paris papers is occupied with an account of the
Queen's trial. The late storms have done much
damage on the French Coast
PARIS, OCT. 23.—There is at present a consi,
&ruble change taking place ia the twiny, thinigh
little is said about it. There have been one hundred
officers dienissed, or put upon half-pay—indeed, it
is confide:loy reported, that the tuneletr first pro.
eeeed was six thousand, but ehe illustrious personiree
whese final decision it ley, drew back in afFrieht

consent to a lesser nuinher—probehly the thins; is

next, the uniform of the infantry is is to be ebaneed
fenn white to blue, and the denonntion of de-
pertmental legions is to he changed into the simple
one of reghnents, solely distinguished by their num.
ber. It does not require a very sagocious look-out

Private letters from Madrid meetion that the
King h.ul given his senction to the law respecting
fiyoresges, which had peseed the Cortes. This,
added to the degree for the suppression of monastic
orders, the law regarding the fieedont of the press,
eke. proven the liberality of the prieciples on which
the Government and Cortes of Spain are acting, •
and that the Dew men in power, by their firm and
eelightened conduct, fuily mower the expectations
-formed of theta by their countrymen. The new
arrangements respecting Custont-houses were car-
rying into execution, an.l they will extend in a
unifirm manner to the Biscayao provinces. The.
interior Custom-lneies are to be suppressed, so that
no others arc to be left hut thoec establis!xl on the
coast and frontiers. As it tax for the service of the
state, lit- millions of rials elute' to 150,0001., and
150 millions of rials on the other classes of t:te
community.

An article from Lerida, of the sth inst. says—

" The publicity of the discuss:on respecting the
Monks has occasioned a loss to au immense. amount
in the monasteries which we have in our view,
namely, those of Tablet, Scat.: Dei, and Esewrpe;
from all innumerable waggon loads of effects have
ben carrying off for sonic days past. At Publet
the Monks are not able to cl,rry off any thing for
• their use ; flx the inhabitants of the ncighboorhood,
seeing the piliagte that was goin:; on, came up for
fteir share of the booty, and spoiled all those who
e 310,: laded out of the numas:ry, besides gathering
their vintage, cutting clown their woods, mid doing
a:her considerable damage. At Scala Dei they have
sold the flocks of sheep, the wool, the mules, corn,
&c. The goad monks, dedicated to a contemplative
life, and not accustomed to labour, have beer. hard
at work for some days to effect this hasty and per-
emptory trmsfer of property. Nobody has said any
thing to them ; and the consequence is, that the
public treasury will obtain only the real property,
while the moveable proferty of various descriittions
was worth many millions."
We have reteived Demerara papers to the 7th of
August, which contain advice's ft-on several other
eulonics in the West Indies. The Governor of
Trinidad had been absent fm about 10 weeks, on a
crttisu for the heodit of his health, but had returned;
and several addresses had been presented to him,
one of which was to request his excellency to advise
his Majesty's mini,ters to extend to that colony the
inestimable benats of the British Cons:itutiou anti
Trial by J nry. Ihe accounts ffutn Tobago mention,
that the 4th regiment has suKred very severely in
racers and tato, by a malignant foier, which raged
in the garrison with gala violence, and is not yet
totally subtitled His Excellency, Nlajor•General
Sir F. Robinson, took every precaution, 00 its firAt
appearance, to prevent its spreading. The Legis-
lature having been applied to, also took measures to
prevent its introe.uoion in the town mil anutti;;st
the shipping. both of which are in it healthy state.
An article from Minorca, on the twit ult. wor-
th/us the arrival of a Dutch fsigate there from Al-
giers' bringing intelligence, that a plot against the
Dey Lad been discovered, uud that the conspirators
were in custody. At the departure of the frigate,
the Algcrine squadrun Witt about to put to sea; on
what destination laol not tr.ospired.
At Chepowea, in Upper Canada, where the land
expedition to penetrate to the Bed Hirer, under
