PARIS PAPERS.

PARIS, JULY 30.
They have been busied for some days at the
grand hunting esiabh.ho►ent of the King, in pre-
pond for a stag-chase, in which his Majesty was
to assist This fleas, which had been spread
abroad, had attracted t• Ra►ulroaillet a great part
of the inhab►tants of the department of the Seine
mid Oise, and of the neighbouring departments.
Never was there seers such a concourse of people.

At two o'clo.•k in the morning the Duke de
Berry was on horseback, accompanied by the Offi-
cers of the great hunting establishment, to go to
recessooitre the part of the Forest called Le Fond
du Bullion, where the stag was to be let loo►e.
His Royal Highness, in riding through the wood,
discovered two deserters, whom he himself stopped
and interrogated. They were two soldiers of the
legion of the coasts of the north. and who had
escaped from Caen, where they had been in garri-
son. They threw themselves at the feet of the
Prince, and invoked his special protection with his
Majesty to obtain their pardon. His Royal High-
ness, without giving them arty ground fur hope,
ordered them to attend at three o'clock at the fen-
demos for the chase. The Prince then returned
to the Chateau.
The ram, which fell in sufficient abundance from
seven o'clock, made it be apprehended that the
hunting party would be countermanded. But
happily at twelve the clouds disappeared. the sky
became clear, and every body prepared themselves
for the pleasure of the fete.
The rendezvous, where the King, the Princes,
and Madame were to assemble, is its a situation the
most picturesque. It is adorned with two peel.

lions of an elegant form, destined to receive the
persons of the Court invited to the chase.
At three o'clock the King, accompanied by the
Duke de Gramninnt, the Captain of his Guard,
the Duke de Ch.itre, the first Gentleman of his
Suite. and the Duke d'Avisray, set nut for the ren-
dezvous. Hs Majesty crossed the great court of
the chateau amid the royal street amidst an immense
crowd of inhabitant., who pressed against his car.
riage, and made the air resound with cries of
joy.
. .

_
Dis Majesty arrived at half-past three o'clock at
the rendevous, where lie found assembled their
Royal Highiorsors Nlousieur, the Duke d'Angou•
leaw, the Duke ole Berry, and Madame.
The arrival of his Majesty WV* a signal for the
most lively acelaihations, which were renewed when
his Majesty descended fawn his carriage to mount
his chaise.

A considerable snubber of spettaitora lined the
circular part of the rendetrous. his Majesty wore
a magnificent hunting-dress—he ausweredl the de-
inoisairaiimis of public joy, by the most affection-
ate iniluiations.

The Duke de Perry presented to his Majesty
the two deserters that his Royal Highness had found
in the forest is. the mottling. His Majesty, who
wished that this day of fete should be one for all
his subjects, granted theta his pardon, on the
prayer of his august irephew—" Rise," said the
king, " and serve henceforth with fidelity."
The setting out for the chore had a fine effect.
Tile three Princes were on horseback„sccousipanied
by their Aides-de-Camp, mud the Officers of their
Household, iu hunting dresses, and preceded by
the lichitsmen.
The King mud Mad one followed the chase
separately, and in art open chaise ; the chase lasted
mar four hqurs, three stags were attacked, and
pursued in torn. His Majesty appeared to take
much plea►ure in this exercise.

The King set out

seizure of Amelia Island, is a parallel on a smaller
theatre to the entry of Bottaparte4s troops into Spain,
under pretence of intestine divisions. The seizure
on neutral territory, and execution of Arbutl t
and Ambri,tie, is fully as unjustifiable as the seiztne
and execution of the Duke of Enghien, slid the
storming of Pensacola is at least equally atrocious
us the massacres of Madrid."

THE BRITI S II PRE S S .

LONDON,

MONDAY. AUGUST 3, 1818.

IS was reported at the close of. last week that her
MAJESTY'S life was in immediate danger. It was
also reported that her MAJESTY had suffered
paralytic affection. We are happy to find these
rumours contradicted by the Couit circular of
yesterday. We find also that to the number of the
branches of the Royal Family • proposing to pass
some time 011 the Continent is to be added their
Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of
itieNcs:. We do not, therefore, conceive that in the
bosom of her own family her MAJESTY'S life is
considered tube iu immediate danger.

We have received Paris Papers to the 31st last,
from which we have made extracts. They contain
nothing of import:nice.

The Duke of WEt.r.iscrulti, accompanied by
his Aide.de-Canip, Colonel HARVEY, arrived yes-
terday morning, between seven and eight o'clock,
at Ansley House, from France.

The great curiosity excited in this Country to
learn the grounds upon which the American Go-
vernment meant to justify the capture of Pensacola,
will be gratified by the arrival of New York Pa-
pers to the gib ult. We hare copied from them
General JACKSON'S reasons for having recourse to
this aggression against Spain, in a moment of pro-
found peace, friendship, and amity between her
and the United States of America. They are the
moot barefaced, impudent, and unqualified pre-
tences to cover lawless violence and cupidity,
in the history of modern nations. General Jack-
SON complains that Pensacola, in the hands of
the King of SPAIN, its rightful owner, affinded
facilities to the Indians in hostility with the
United States—that the friendship of the King
of SPAIN was not as beneficial as it might
be to these States—and that their Government
is therefore justified in taking possession of it as
a measure of self-defence. In this we recognise the
common-place plea of every tyraut and violator of
the rights of natiour. The strongest nation is, in
every respect, tllls strongest protector; and if thii
plea of Gen. JACKSON he admissible, all the nations
of the world would be under the rule of one great
head. Whets the ore and same plank was not
sufficient to sustain two drowning persons, there
it hied been held one was justified in pushing
his coMpanion off, and taking possession of the whole
piece of timber to save his own life. It is only in
an extreme case of this kind we would allow one
nation to dispose*, another, on the plea of this act
of crifpossersion being absolutely and immediately
necesiory to its own existeuce; but there is no plea
of this description attempted to be made out in
the present case. The evil complained of amounts
oliq to a disadvantage, an incontenieuce. Ge-
neral JACKSON sit”, It is trite that Pensa-
cola, from acknowledged weakness, dare riot
refuse to VI pp Iy the Indian eileurieo of the

United States with provisions, but that will
not justify so violent • turnout, and iu 'ettl it
was idle to advance so plight a pretence the

mesa. It is an act done is concurience iiittt the
American Government, in perfect unison with their
sentiments and pnbey, and, tin doubt, in pur-
suance of their secret instructions. The viola-
tion is the more palpable and ro prehensible, as
the possession of the Floridas has been long
a favourite abject of the Government of the
United States—a question of Laigaiii and sale, of
anxious and unremitting negninition. The ca.e,
tlierefine, is perfectly clear. The Government of
the United States having long turd in vain to ob-
tain possession of West Flutidii ft) fair 111t1111,, iu
its despair and impatience hiss had recourse to foul.
and thinks the present tniauent u fiviiiirable one
to take advantage of the embarrassment and weak-
ness of the Court ol Spam to COMMA the lawless
aggression. The Quebec Gitzeite has made some
strong remarks 01/ this subject, Lich we onljotii;
the event has also made a considerahle sensation
at the 1-Invimmili, where it
was expected si,nur Arne_
rican vessels would be detained, as a stilts t ad lietib
put to their loading. It is indeed an attack upon
the independence of nat ))))) can, lated to excite
the deepest and strongest indignation.
