Two days' Paris Papers became due this morn-
ing, bat we have no arrivals of any kind from the
Coutineut. What has been dooe.in Nay's Trial?
I,r„ what is still more momentous, how stands the
Treaty ? are therefore questions which we are
imw as little competent to answer as we were yes-
tereay. We have all along taught the Public not
exreet the Treaty so soon as others, pretend-
i;:g to speak from authority, said it would arrive.
IN' course we cannot subscribe to there being any
foundation for the feelings of disappointment
which as e now experienced, as these feelings arise
out of hopes that ought never to have been en-
tekaned, and not out of any change in the poli-
ticid world. We have only again to assure our
ilearieTs, -that no accounts have been received

•within the last two or tbror days, or this day,
Nvhich can give to the rumours hi chnatation any

11(1c:ices. from 1,,,,rd EI•INIOVT14, on board the
Boyne, off 'Marseilles, were, we understand, re-

We have condensed horn the Ceylon Gazette a
State Paper of con,,iderable interest, it rkvelopcs
the falai) upon which The Government 91- 'Candy
has been re-organized. The importance of the
change which has :nen produerd in this Island
cannot yet he hilly appreciated ; bur those Min are
bust informed on the subject (rf our Eastern l'us-

sessions have no hesitation in estimating; the en-
tire and wiresisted dominion over Ceylon, as one
.of the greatest acquisitions That has been made
since the British Flag first waved on the Ganges.
A very long Supplement to the Londoii Gazette
was published last night, with the official dis-
patches relative to the late war in Ndp:l6l. As
we have aireatly submitted the intelligence on this
subject to the public from other sourges, we have
only selected what was new from the Gazette.-7-
The value of this war appears to us to have heen
excessively under-rated
,by some, as it has been
over-rated by others of our Contempoeiries. Some
of them have spoken of Napaul, a large country
in Ilindostan proper, as a district scarcely known!
A very little enquiry might have satisfied these
writers, that their peculiar want of information
wis not, as they imagined, universal ignotance.
Those, onthe other hand, who scent to have attach-
ed somewhat too much importance to theNapaulese
contest were misled rather by the difficult nature
of the territory and the hardy and enterprising
spirit of its population, than by the extent of the
former and multitude of the latter. it is, ne-
vertheless, in a geographical point of view, of
much worth to our Indian 'Empire, -which it not
onl3-consolidates on a vulnerable side, but to which
it opens lICW sources of commercial wealth and
prosperity. As our knowledge of these countries
is increased, we shall be better able to wield their
energies, and we cannot close these remarks;
without referring to a recent publication, from
which we have derived tire utmost satisfaction as
connected with India affairs, ." The Account of
the Kingdom of Caubul," by the Hon. Mr. EL-
Tql:NsToNa : we are not acquainted with a work
every way more agreeable, full 'of novelty, and
iatalliteut.

The illooting' Chronicle, a Journal boasting it-
elf to he the organ of the Whigs of England, and
the assentor of their doctrines, has this inornirsg
the following observations upon the conduct of
DIC:e of Ittcueugu, and the French Mini-
stry in general, with reference to tbeith proceed-
i agAinst Marshal Nay

'• Ft ,vas reserved for them to exhibit the spectacle of a i;io-
lation'Of first principles of justice, in the same individual
-uxercisiux the offices of Public Accuser and Judge. • Such is
the Duke tie ittcnriazu, who not only accuses Ney, but calls
for his punishment, before soy evidence is heard, and who is
himself; as a Peer of France, to sit in ;judgment on the se-
elscd. No wonder that public feeling is wrought upon, or
that the Government Ends the number of its opponents ang-
Timit." •

Now thong!! we arc not of those who look for
much intelligence from this Nevisriaper—though
e -calik its historical infortuatiaV.the sarttc

low scale with its geogtaailical knowledge or its
political sagacity, yet we did suppose that
might have some .confused ideas of the annals of
its own Party. 13ut we were mistaken. The *Chro-
nicle is as ignorant 'of the history of its Patron
Whigs-as it is on other subjects otherwise it would,
never have so loudly clamoured against the French
Cabinet—for doing what)—precisely what the
strongest Whig Ministry that ever existed in Eng-
land did in the feign of GEORGE the First.—
We strongly advise this partizan to read a little
more and to, write a little less. Should he turn
to the reign we have just mentioned he will dis-
cover that this Whig Administration set a decided.
example to the French Ministers. They impeach..
esi the Earl of OXFORD, and dragged • him to
the Tower against the affidavit of the ce-
lebrated Doctor MEAD that such procedure
wonlil endanger his life, and the declared opinion
of Sir JOSEPH JEKYL, a staunch Whig and the
best Lawyer of the day, that the offence did not
amount to treason. They also impeached the
gallant Duke of ORMOND, Lord BOLTN6BROKE,
and others. But, as if to complete the parallel,
these Whigs !--the friends of liberty !! passed an
Act, declaring, that if any persons, to the
number of twelve, unlawfully assembled, shOuld
continue together one. hour, after being required
to disperse by a Justice of the-Peace, or other
Officer, and after hearing the Act against Riots
read in public, they should be deemed guilty of
felony, without benefit of Clergy! ! ! What have
the despotic Ministers of Louis XVIII. done equal
to this ? What is their law.against seditious cries
and acts, to this law againSt the mere assenNing
of the people ? Well might the historian remark,
" This is a very severe Act, and one of the
greatest restrictions on the liberty of the subject
that passed during this century. By this, all
Meetings of the People, either for the purpose
of Amusement or redress, are rendered criminal,
if it shall please any Magistrate to consider them
as such. It is, indeed, very remarkable- , that all
the severe and most restrictive laws were enacted
th'it Party that are continually stunning mankind
with the cry of Freedom ! !"
Need we add to this Whig Precedent that the
charges against Lord Oxroap were malignant
and ft ivolous, and he was acquitted accordingly :
while of the manifest guilt and treason of Marshal
Nay, alter his own confessions, it would be mad-
ness to entertain a doubt.

We are very sorry to learn from the provincial
papers, that there has been a riot at Woolver-
baribpton, 00 •cv+ouo 03 to render it necessary to
call in the Military to suppress it.

Tile PRINCE REGENT is expected in town on
the 221 instant,. and will hold a Council on the
following day.
Yesterday the Earls of Liveapoot., llAxmow, -
lay, and BA-riiuesT, transacted ha►siness at the
Secretaries of States' Offices, in Down;ng-street.
A Corunna mail, conveyed by the Frederick
packet, arrived yesterday. A frigate had arrived
from Vera Cruz at Cadiz, ivttli dispatches to the
Court. Also 2,372,1,12 dollars, and 191,20
mares of silver, in ingots, with 1491 ounces of
gold, and 64,875 pounds of cochineal.
Letters from Buenos Ayres to the 21st of Au-
gust, are extremely barren of political intelligence.
They merely state that preparations were making
for a co-operating armament of .1000 men, in-
tended to proceed to Chili, for tlict passage of
which over the Andes Mountains, the season was
propitious.
It is said that the wire of Marshal SouLTde-
livered to the KING on Sunday last a memorial
explanatory of the conduct of ha husband. •

Prince IkUCHER'S fall from his horse only oc-
•casione(fa slight excoriation of the shoulder. He
set off on his return home within these few days,
stating that I had received new favours front his
Sovereign and permission to retire definitivety
from the service.

Next to the want of eoldiers (says a Morning
Paper, speaking of the present ,tote of France),
is the want of money ; but in this respect the'
French Government is at least as %yell off as its
traitorous opponents ; although among the latter
are many who have amassed large fortunes by the
plunder of their fellow citizens in the Revolution.
The contributions to the Allies, no doubt, hang
heavily upon the Treasury; but their immediate
pressure may perhaps be relieved by loans. We
have reason to believe, that the French Govern-
ment, not long since, made overtures to two or
three eminent mercantile houses in London, for
an arrangement of this kind, which was broken
off, because the latter rewired the guarantee of
the British Government, which, under the exist-
ing circumstances, it was not thought proper to
grant. New proposals, it was whispered yester-
day, had been made ; but with what prospect of
success we have not yet been able to learn..

-Advices front Gibraltar to the 21st ult. were
received in town yesterday, btoughc -by the An-
dromeda man of war, arrived at Portsmouth.—
We are happy to state, that the epidemic disorder
which has for many years past taken place at this
season of the year, had not made its appearance
at the above date. The following is an extract
of a letter from the Agent to Lloyd's, . dated Gi-
braltar, Oct. -18,

" The Algeriue squaaron which passed through
these Straits to the westward oo the 4th inst. re-
nt:rued up the Mediterranean on the 14th ; it is
not known whether the squadron has made any
captures,_ but its uu►uber tut return was not in-,
=and."
