We have received the Paris Papers of Wed-
nesday, the'contents of which are of little inte-
rest. The Port:, it seems, has thought proper
to imitate the GRAND SEIGNIOR, and has issued a
decree against the indecent dresses of the Roman
Ladies, both in, the streets and in their own
houses. It is not a' little remarkable that
the Ordinance of the GRAND Sl:mxiolt on the
length and thickness of the
.fcredgis of the
Turkish ladies should first have been translated
in the Roman Journal (Mario di Roma) that
contains the Papal Decree respecting the dresses
of the Roman ladies, which are reprehended as
being too thin and adherent to the body. The
following are extracts :

vocation of the Estates of the Kingdom.

PARIS, DEC. 20.

,
The French Government leaves in Spain 6,000 men, besides
the 25,000 at first proposed. The Spanish Cabinet has ratified
the convention, by which it pays to France a credit of 60,000,000,
procuring 3,000,000 of Itentes at 5 per cent. A treaty has
moreover been concluded, which sizes that 14 or 15,0011,000
shall be annually paid to France for the maintenance of the 31,000
men who remain in the Peninsula. This sum amounts to what
the keep of so many men in Spain would cost.

Brussels Papers to the 30th instant were re-
ceived this morning. We are happy to observe
that the King of the NETHERLANDS is recovering
from the indisposition which has for some time in-
terrupted the public audiences ; and that his
MAJESTY has issued a Decree, by which arrange-
ments are to be made at the Post Offices for faci-
litating and expediting the delivery of all Foreign
Newspapers, Periodical Publications, Prices
Current, &c. The waters of the Ourthe and the
Meuse have again risen to the same height that
they had reached a short time ago ; in conse-
quence of which, the whole quarter called the
Boverie, at Liege, had been under water for three
days, and many of the inhabitants were in the
greatest distress and penury.

From the Allgemeine Zeitung of the 24th inst.
which arrived this morning, we have news from
Constantinople of the 25th November, which
states that the ships with which the CAPITAN
PACHA returned to that capital were in
the most deplorable condition, and that the
crews were in a very wretched and despond.
big state, notwithstanding they had been in
the Dardanelles five weeks, during which time
it was to be expected they would have
recruited their health and recovered their spirits.
Innmum PACHA, the new Capitan Pacha, is
said to have returned to his former anchorage at
Boudroun after his defeat off Candia ; but ano-
ther account states that he has taken shelter with
the remnant of his fleet in the port of Candia.—
However this may be, there can no longer he
any doubt that the last victory obtained by the
Egyptian fleet is most im-

portant, and has completely discomfited the pro-
jected plan of invading the Morea by the arma-
ments of Egypt. The Turkish treasury is so
exhausted that a further deterioration of the cur-
rency is considered to be inevitable, and great
alarm has in consequence prevailed among the
merchants in the Ottoman capital.

We have received the Austrian Observer of the
18th inst., from which it seems, that on the even-
ing of the 17th the inhabitants of Vienna were sur-
prised by several very vivid flashes of lightning,
with loud and very near thunder. During the
ten minutes that the storm continued, it snowed
in abundance, and the thermometer fell to the
freezing point. It appears that the same natural
phenomena occurred at Berlin on the 16th. For
several weeks previous a report had been spread
among the common people that Berlin was to be
destroyed by an earthquake between the 15th
and 18th December, and a general alarm is said
to have taken place when, on the 16th, at nine
o'clock i❑ the morning, violent thunder claps
were heard. There was no earthquake, however,
but an abundant fall of snow.

By the Silas packet from New York we have
received papers to tho Bth ult. inclusive. The
speech of the PRESIDENT on the opening of the
Session of Congress, which was to have assembled
on the 6th at Washington, had not reached New
York when the packet sailed. The only topic
of interest in these papers is the progress made in
the election of the new PRESIDENT. The con-
test for this important office appears to lie between
Gen. JACKSON and Mr. ADAMS; and as far as the
present returns go, there is a majority in favour of
Mr. ADAMS ; but, according to a calculation made
of what the returns would be from the South-
ern States, where a decided preponderance
existed in favour of General JAcxsoN, there was
a great probability of the General being ulti-
mately elected. At a meeting of the merchants
of New York, held on' the 3d of December, a
memorial was drawn up to be presented to the
Congress, on the piracies in the vicinity of Cuba,

and the unprotected state of the trade with that
island. According to letters of the c24th of Sep-
tember from Guayaquil, received in New York,
the Asia and Achilles, Spanish ships of war, ar-
rived at Callao on the 14th of that month. Ad-
miral Guist:, the Peruvian Commander, offered
them battle, which they declined, and ran into
the harbour. It was believed they never would
leave Callao under the Spanish flag. We subjoin
a few extracts :

[From the New York Gazette, -Dec. 31
NEWS EXTRA.-Captain Cook, who arrived here last
evening, in 17 days from St. Thomas's, informs us that the brig
Valiant, of Boston, from Saint Pierre, Martinique, stated to
our informant, that a French fleet of 17 sail of men of war
had, at the end of October, taken on board troops at Marti-
nique, and had sailed for St. Domingo. Captain Cook adds,
that a French frigate and a man of war schooner had also sailed
from St. Thomas's for the same island.
[From the New York Gazette, Dec. IL]
We have seen a letter from Port-au-Prince, dated the 15th
ult.., whicfl says all is tranquil, and Government is nut making
any preparations of defence, as many .foreign journals have
been pleased to represent.
The American ship Franklin was detained at Batavia in June
last, in consequence of having 90 stand of arms on board. The
vessel was afterwards released, but the arms confiscated. All
vessels with arms passing through the Straits of Sunda are
liable to have them seized and conficated. This order was
issued by the Governor of Batavia, to prevent the Burmese
from being supplied with arms.

We have received from Demerara a regular
file of the Guiana Chronicle to the 6th ultimo.
Previous arrivals from the West Indies stated,
that a large French fleet had been seen in those
latitudes. A similar report was circulated in the
American papers, and we have now the follow-
ing corroboration of the fact from the Demerara
Chronicle : .

" DEMEII.IItA, OCT. 25.—8 y an arrival from Martinique
this morning, we learn that the French fleet lately seen in the
West India seas, had raised that Island to leeward, without
coming to anchor, but only sending a boat with letters on
shore."
