FRENCH PAPERS.

(From the Messaffer des Chanibres of Saturday.)
MADRID, Ocx. 31.—The Qo•en continues in good
health, many favours and acts cf elemancy are announced,
in case the expected infant should be a son.
The attention of our cabinet is much eng wed by the
reports respectinz Portugal and D.in Pedro's expedition.
The politicians pr tend that, but for this circumstance, the
Ministry would have been modified in the spirit of the party
which has never opposed the anti-ralique law.
For some days past it has been reported, that the Go-
vernment has received the news that the cholera tnorbus
has appeared at Gibraltar.
The Supreme Board of Health sits almost permanently,
to consider of the means of preserving us from this scourges

A letter which I have just received from C.idis an-
nounces, that the authorities of that city having obtained
positive evidence that Gibraltar is perfectly healthy, order
the sanatory measures which •ere before ordered shall
cease from the Ist of November. The communications
between our C.:art and that of LLbon continue to he Very
frequent.

FROM A LETTER.)
ALGIERS, OCT. 30 —Four or five hundred copies of a
printed notice, brought from Toulon. have lately been dis-
tributed in the streets of Algiers, and cried under the title
of " A great Revolution in England." The et irr was ar-
rested, and the reading-rooms where this Pap•r was re-
eeivrd, and from which it was circulated, are cloyed.
We have news of General Boyer. El flamm.ry, Lieu-
tenant of the Emperor of Morocco, has attacked him for
eight days together, and during this whole tune the troops
were under arms from four in the morning till half•past
nine in the evening. This Scheriff has ❑cts• retired to
Mascara. General Boyer is threa cued with a fresh at-
tack with the cannon of that place. Mist:aril has been de-
livered up to El Hammer!. by the two hundred Turks
who defended that place ; nevertheless he has caused them
all to he cruelly massacred. This example will induce
those who still hold Tremezon and Mustaganint to defend
hemselves-

Two Marequins, spies of El Ilamiccry, have been stint
their effects, which have been sold, produced 20,164 francs.
Four sailors of Orzeu who sold provisions to the Arabs have
bad the same fate.

The 30th regiment is going to embark on board the
Arternise and Galathee. We continue to eajoy tranquillity.
Alomm, Ocr. 20.—Since the deplorable events of the
9tb of October, tranquillity has not been interrupted at
Napoli. This state of things is s'altly owing to the rigo-
rous measures adopted by the commission of administra-
tion, which, however, will have some difficulty in main-
taining its ground, till the trial of Georpkiet, on the
meeting of the National Assembly.
It seems that the inhabitants of hlaina arc preparing to
march against Napoli, to deliver the members of the family
of hfavromichalis.

It is evident that the state of affairs in this country is
rather critical : indeed, so much so, that it is impossible to
see the result.

(From the Gazet!ede France, dated Nov. 12.)

PARfq, Nov. 11.—The Minister of the Marine has just
sent a telegraph despatch to several sea-ports to require a
rigotous quarantine for all vessels coming from England.
These measures are taken in consequence of she news of
the cholera having broken out at Sunderland.

In Prussia and Russia the cholera has spared all per-
sons employed in the manufactories of tobacco or snuff, the
tan-yards, and medical laboratories. The smoke of to-
bacco seems to neutralize most animal miasmata, awl it
generally considered as a preservative against the cholera,
accordingly the Prussian, Austrian, and Rus,ian Magi-
strates have given permission to •muke in the stmets.

SIGNS OF THE TIMES!

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

'file following is a copy of a hand-bill, which has been
extensively circulated in Gateshead and Newcastle this af-
ternoon ; as it contains a moral which may not be lost
upon " Clerical Rapacity," your insertion of it will oblige,
Your's respectfully,
A CONSTANT READER.
Saturday, Nov. 12, 1831.

" SEIZURE FOR CHURCH RATE."

" A hand-bill, printed by John Lowthin, announces
that two sacks of superfine flour, an excellent brass fender,
an 4 fire-irons, and a I,rge quantity of soda, are to be sold
by auction, at the Goat Inn, Bottle Bank, Gateshead, on
Monday, the 14th day of Nov. at eleven o'clock precisely."
These goods have been taken (under sanction of the law
as it now exists, by a warrant from the Magistrates, granted
upon the demand of the Churchwardens), from several of
your neiehbaurs, for church rate, which they cannot con-
scientiously pay, because, by so doing, they would be con-
tributing to the support of a State Religion, which they
believe to be in many respects directly opposed to the pre-
cepts and example of Jesus Christ and his Apostles.
" The time is not far distant, when the people will see
the injustice of compelling those who have separated them-
selves from this wealthy and domineering Church, to c-,n-
-tribute towards its maintenance. Let t: e inhabitants of
Gateshead, (always zealous in the cause of Reform) take
the lead, and chew to their fellow-countrymen that they
disapprove of such unjust procredines by refusing to pur-
chase there goods ; recollecting, that if there were no pur-
chasers of stolen goods, there would be very few th;rvet,;
and if Dissenters generally would follow the example thus
set them, and refuse to pay this unprincipled and unjust
rate. we should soon find there would be no purchasers of
this legal plunder. In order that you may duly estimate
the moderation with which those who will not, because
they cannot conscientiously pay these demands, ate treated,
you must he informed, that one sack of flour, value 455.
was taken for a demand cf 1 Is. 4d., with law charges
11s. 4d., together 225. Sd., and the fender and fire-irons,
which lately cost 445., were taken for a demand of 9s. 4.1.,
with law charges, 11s. 4d., making a total of 20s. Sd.
Another sack of flour, value ISs. 61., was taken from
Thomas Glaholm, for a demand of 9s. for church rate,
law expenses same as the other cases, making a total of
20s. Sd. Therefore, in all these cases, four timea the ori-
ginal demand was taken by these satellites of clerical
rapacity !

Fellow townsmen, touch not, taste not the nnhalloxed
thing.

The county of Inverness meets to-morrow on
the subject of Reform.

Cumberland meets on Tuesday next at Wig-
ton ; and we are sure it will not be the first to give the
norouglanongers an opportunity of crying cut "
action." nom all we hear it will be the most numer-
ously attended meeting ever hild in this county. Sir
WILFRED LA WSON, we believe, will none the address to
the KING ; and it is expected he will be secondtd by
HENRY How.aan, Eq. of Corby Castle. Several other
of the most influential eetylemen of the county are ex
peted to take part in the proceedings. It has been said
by some of Lord LoNsua LE'S scribes that the requisition
is the work of the commercial men, anti that the yeomen
and freeholders have had Flee to do with it. We should
not have thought the worse of the requisition had such
been the fact. But the truth is, that upon searce!y any
former occasion did the commercial men hear so small a
proportion to the number of yeomen. The head of every
family of distinction in the county signed the requisition;
and we happen to know that every yeoman who was ap-
plied to upon the subject at once cheerfully signed his
name; and we have now before us a list of upwards of a
bundred yeomen who signed, but whose names arrived too
late to he published in the advertisement. We have, in a
previous article, exposed the attempt to sow disunion be-
tween the agricultural and commercial interests. Lord
LOWTHSR attempted the same game, en behalf of his
friend Captain YORKE at Cambridge, and most signally
failed. It will prove equally abortive in this county,
whose honest yeomanry are not to be humbugged by bo.
roughmongers and blacklegs : and of this fact we thought
his Lordship had had sufficient proof at the last election,
without againg venturing to obtrude his opinions.—Cur.

PHOGREsS 01 THE CLIOLEILI.-111 the Li-
lerary Gazette of Saturday is a curious " map of the
,hojeta." It appeared at Jessore in 1817, a little from
Calcutta, on the Ilimghley ; it has rambled since some-
times in a straight-for and oirection, with occasional
divergencies in a line nortb-west ; it is stated as a
e curious fact, and a curious one it is, that a very abl
teacher at cue of our public institutions, who had bestowed
much pains in ascertaining the advance of cholera, two
Aikonths ago declared, from his observation of the north-
western direction in which it appeared to him generally to
more, "that if it reached oar shot es,,it would strike some-
where to the north of Flull."
A reward of 600 guineas is ofrered for the
discovery and punishment of the incendiary who bred the
