seer, which was numerously attended, and never were cor-
diality and good humour known more to prevail than on
this occasion: Lord Castlereagh is preparing for his return
to London, anti %%ill probably be the first of the diplomatic
corps to quit Paris.—The latest English travellers repre.
tent that capital as to all appearance perfectly tranquil. It
is stated that the firmness and expedition with which the
French Ministers are carrying the new law for punishing
.sedition, through the two chambers, has already had the
effect of making people more cautious in their observations
vn public measures.
The Duke of Wellington was not present at the last re-
'view of the National Guard in Paris. —At a previous review
of this body, the Hues ►•ere directed not to present arms to
his Grace, which he of course resents as a premeditated in-
sult.

Several of the proscribed partisans of Napoleon have
been arrested and brought to Paris. The most distinguish-
ed of them is General Jiulliu, who presided at the murder
of the Duke D'Eughein, and was also Governor of Paris.
The trial of Ney is at last likely to come on. The Coun-
cil of War, appointed to try him, has declared itself satisfied
of its competency.
Brussels and Frankfort Papers arrived yesterday. The
former speak of a great ferment in France, and of numer-
ous i:rrestc having taken place. Carnot and fifteen offi-
cers of rank are said to have been arrested.

A contradiction has been given by the French papers to
the report, that the Emperor of Austria had given Bona-
parte's son a regiment. 'rite Emperor and Empress of
Austria are to meet at Insprnek, from whence they will
proceed to their Italian dominions, which are distinguish-
ed in the Vienna Court Gazette, by the title of the Veneto
Lombard Kingdom. Some negotiations are on foot, for
the cession of the harbour of Spezzia, iu the Genoese
Gulp'', to Austria, by the King of Sardinia.

Two Hamburgh malls reached town on Tuesday, the papers
by which contain the substance of the speech of Count
Munster on opening the Session of the Hanoverian States on
the 16th ult, in which he announced that the Pt ince Regent
does not intend to give the country a new Constitution ; he
will hold sacred the ancient original rights of thiStates, but
his Royal Highness is convinced that the changed situation
of Germany, and particularly of the kingdom of Hanover,
akes several modifications necessary in the exercise of these
rights.—The anniversary of the battle of Leipsic was cele-
brate? at Beilin, as it was by the German troops at Paris,
with religious solemnities. The King of Prussia was present
en the occasion. It is said, that his Majesty has made large
pecuniary and other presents to Prince Blucher, and all the
Genetals present at the great battle of Waterloo. The Em
percr Alexander and the King of Prussia entered the capital
of the latter together on the 24th, amidst the greatest re-
joicinp and the thunder of artillery ; and it is stated that a
Treaty of Alliance, ofiensive and defensive, has been con-
cluded betwec ti Austria and Prussia. This latter event is of
the highest importance to the future tranquillity of Europe,
a id seems to contradict rumours prevalent of late of differ-
ences or coolness subsisting between the great Monarchs of
It.:ssia, Prussia, and Austria. The Emperor Alexander. it
is expected, will reach St. Petersburgh in the course of No-
vi:oilier. Ilis Imperial Majesty, it appears, will extend very
vlciely the connections of his family. His cousin the Duke
Oldenburgli is spoken of for a marriage with a Danish
PrincLts. It said that the 700 millions contribution. arm to

Nov. 51

be paid by France at the rate of 140 millions yearly. One
hundred and thirty millions are to be paid for the mainte-
nance of the 150,000 foreign troops for three years. 'The
claims of the different Powers upon France, in consequence
of the non-execution of the Treaty of Paris, are to be satis-
fied at the expiration of the five years. In the mean time,
interest is to be paid upon them at the rate of three per
cent.

Letters have been received from Panama, giving an ac-
count of operations in that neighbourhood subsequent to the
details received by the Jamaica Gazettes, of a most important
nature. It is said that the Commander in Chief, General
Morillo, conducting the expedition in that quarter, having
accomplished his purposes in Venezuela, has re•embarked his
troops to the number of ten thousand men, and has actually
set sail, to proceed by the Atlantic, to double' Cape Horn,
and to terminate his voyage at Lima, on the Pacific Ocean.
—During his stay on the shores of the Gulpb, a Spanish fri-
gate had arrived from the Parent Country, the dispatches by
which, it is supposed, occasioned the alteration of all the pro-
jects of General Morill• towards Vera Cruz and Mexico, and
compelled him to undertake this new and remote enterprise,
which, it is assumed, the critical state of the Peruvian coun-
try had rendered expedient.—Although it is.asserted that the
people of Terra Firma had submitted, yet it was presumed,
that as soon as might be convenient after the disappearance
of Morjllo, the Patriots would resist and overcome the feeble
authority which remained to controul them.--Some well-in-
formed persons entertain the opinion, that the direction of
Morillo would be totally different from that which was pre-
tended, and that be would proceed to Vera Crux to reserve
Mexico and its treasures from danger; but it was naturally
and confider.tly believed, that should be take the opposite
rente,.he would enter the river Plate on his way, and reduce
Buenos Ayres to submission, placing that Viceroyalty under
the immediate superintendence and protection of Artigas, for
the Spanish crown.

Vet), superb dressts for the Queen and Princesses of Hayti
have just been finished by one of our fashionable dress•
makers. coachmaker is also building a magnificent coach
for his Black Majesty, king Christophe.—Our brethren of
a different colour seem to be asserting their natural equality
in St. Domingo, where it has been triumphantly proved that
blacks are men !

Lord Amherst, in his embassy to China, takes with him a
number of choice presents of the English manufacture. The
East India Company send among the presents a most magni-
ficent chandelier, capable of holding thirty-six candles or
lamps, of the most exquisite workmanship and decoration.

Jamaica Papers have reached us to the 17th ult. They
contain various statements relative to MoriHo's expedition,
which amount to this, that the Spanish troops under that
General had arrived oft' the coast of Carthagena, and threat-
ened a landing; nn the other hand, it is rept esented; that the
natives of Carthagena, as well as the foreigners, were prepared
to make the government troops repent of their intended at-
tack, or perish under the walk—A private letter com-
municates further and later intelligence from the Spanish ex-
pedition. It states, that the Spanish force under Morino had
attacked Bocachica, but failed in the attempt; they were like-
wise unsuccessful in their attack of San Felippe, in both of
which they bad lost upwards of 1600 men. la this state of
things the Carthaginians were determined in The most obsti-
nate defence.

A Mail from Holland arrived yesterday. The Command-
ants of the French garrisons are beginning to make the ae.
cessary preparations for their arrival.
