LONDON, MONDAY, DECEMBER 4
Three d Chick, p. m.
Paris Papers to the tat instant. have arrived.
The Monitenr contains various Ordinances, order.
ing new regulations, and pmling new appointments
in the King's Household, Count Blacas is ap-
pointed First Gentleman of the Chamber to his
Majesty in the room of the Duke of Richelieu, who
has resigned. This circumstance has given rise to
various vague rumours in the French Journals of
en intended change of Ministers. The accounts are
contradictory with respect to the affairs of Austria
and Naples. Those from Frankfort particularly
are pronounced unworthy of credit. They specu-
late on an immediate war, while letters from Na-
ples, of the Intl ult. are bold and threatening, and
affirm, that if Austria dare violate the Neapolitan
territory, there is an opposing force ready to take
the field of 130,000 men, inspired with the irresist-
ible spirit of liberty, who are determined to die or
maintain their independence. The King of Sweden
has come forward in a manner the most becoming
and praiseworthy, and has acknowledged the new
Government of Naples in a letter to the King. In-
telligence from Spain says, that King Ferdinand was
to return to Madrid from the Escurial, on the 21st
ult. It was rumoured that Riego was to be made
Captain General of Catalonia. There was also a
report that Count des Arisbal bad been ordeted to
Valladolid in a state of arrest. The armed banditti
who lately robbed the mail in the vicinity of Vittoria
had been overtaken by the National Guards sent in
pursuit of them, on the banks of a river, when ten
of them were taken, and six killed or drowned.
The rest effected their escape for the moment, but
the most confident hopes were entertained of their
being speedily captured. Among the prisoners were
several persons employed in the department of the
Customs.

The Papers which have reached us contain nothing
of importance from Naples, Vienna, or Troppau.

Brother. Cousin. and very dear Friend. Ferdinand I. King of

For some days past no material change has taken
place in the quotations at the Stock Exchange ; but
large purchases have been made, and great confi-
dence exists in the maintenance of the present
prices. Several additional defitulters have been de-
clared publicly, and a resolution is under consider-
ation by the Committee, that the names of all those
who have compounded privately shall also be exhi-
bited on the board, in order that persons out of the
house may not in future be deceived by trusting
persons whose credit has been impeached; or if they
do so, that it may be at their own peril.
A melancholy occurrence took place at Beacons-
field, on the 27th tilt. The infant of a respectable
tradesman drank a quantity of vitriol, which had
been fetched by a servant boy to be used for some
domestic purpose, whereby almost immediate death
was occasioned.—lt would be a salutary law that
would prohibit the venders of such articles fr.m fur-
nishing them to voting persons, and otherwise than
in a phial, corked, tied down. and labelled.
A few days siacc the Hon. George Winn, of
Worley Lodge, Essex, whilst wood shooting, when in
the act of running his hand up the barrel to remove
the wet, at the instant he reached the muzzle, the

gun by some accichnt went off; and the contents
struck his thumb, which was so dreadfully injured,
that it was found necessary to take it off at the se-
cent] joint. We are happy to learn that the Hon.
Crentletuan is doing weLl.
