We have this day received, by Express from
Paris, the &alit: dated yesterday, which does
not contain the least intelligence of any political
'lmportance. According to a recent decision of
the Sanitary Intendance of Marseilles, vessels
(*fling from Andalusia, from the ports of Malaga,
Alicant, Carthagena, and Barcelona, are to be
In) on their arrival in a French port, under
fifteen days quarantine. Vessels arriving from
11°37 other ports of Spain arid the Balearic
Isles are to perform ten days quarantine.

4.—ltentes opened at 101 f. 60c.,
The., 65c., 70c., 60c., 70c., 60c., for money. At
half past three o'clock the price for the end of
tho month was mu. 60c., and according to
private letters they afterwards rose to 1021. 10c.

Two Dutch Mails arrived this morning, bring-
lag Hamburgh. Papers to the 27th ultimo, and
Dutch Papers to the sth instant. We are glad
to announce that the accounts from various parts
of Germany respecting the state of the rivers
Continue to be favourable, the waters having
gradually fallen. The following are extracts ;
COBLENTZ, Nov. N.
The General Diet was opened on the 11th of this month. It
is but thinly attended, and is expected not to sit above three
wedcs.

According to the second proposal laid before the Diet, it is the
Qrand Duke's intention to levy for the year 11125 one Extraordi-
nary less, and in order to make good the deficiency that will be
thus caused in the feceipt by indirect taxes, it is intended, it
leems, to impose an import-duty on many articles, for instance
wi3e, salt, wood for fuel, planks, linen, woollen cloths and
Woollen goods in general, cattle, horses, glass, tar, &c. We
'hall see how the States will. receive this proposal of the
Government.
I.'he intended causeway of Boitaenhurg, &c. to the Prussian
itoraiers is to be made entirely st the expence of the Prince,
aria completed in five years. The States arc only applied to in
order to fix the toll, and the indemnity to he given to the hand-
%/tiers, through whose ground the road will puss. There is no
doubt that the States wiU decide conformably to the wish of
the Qovernment, especially as the Prussian Government is said
113 have declared its resolution to send the Prussian Mail to
iittnLurg through Hanover, unless a new road is made.
/jt lucre report that the tolls and duties arc to be levied in
enburgh with more strictness, has induced of late many
Drh7,erti of goods from Prussia to llamburgh,
.or back, to de-
of the real prtfit of toll and consumption by the Elbe,
tirriksity at the frontier, and so avoiding our territory en-
1--They indeed go 3 or 4 miles out of their way (12 or
11..;1glish), but thus have only one toll to pay ; whereas in
a_cutlenburg they would have four to puss. Though they take a
,14;ye longer in this journey, they must find their account in it.
bad state of our nut& may be another cause.

POLITICAL RUMOURS.—Whe peculiar state of
Ireland occupies at the present moment, it is
Bald, the principal attention of His Majesty's
Government. It is likewise mentioned, that the
Marquis of WELLESLEY is to retire from the Lord
Lieutenancy of the Sister Kingdora,and to succeed
to the Presidency of His Majesty's Council,
Wee the Earl of lIATIROWBY, who resigns and
quits C 11;
-,Ce altogether. Another rumour is, that
eIIN Du
ke of WELLINGWON is to he the New
fiord Lieutenant of Ireland, though it has been
//hisPered that the Earl of BittsTor. is to succeed
the Marquis WELLESLEY, and that Mr. %VILMOT
1101ITOM is to be his Secretary.

In consequence of a heavy fall of snow in
Aberdeenshire, and in other parts from thence to
Edinburgh, the North Mail did not reach that
city on the 2d instant till nine o'clock at night,
too late for the Mail to London. On the 3d it
was many hours out of course. The Mail Coach
from London, and also from Carlisle to Edin.
burgh, were likewise delayed by the storm on

the 2d.
Private advices from Nuremberginform us that
several Governments belonging to the Germanic
confederation have resolved to follow the example
of Wurtembera, and no longer to comply with
the demands of the Prussian Cabinet, for the
delivery into their power of persons, subjects
of the Governments first alluded to, who may be
suspected of being parties to Secret Associations,

but to bring them to trial before their own tri-
burials, whether the accusation against•them pro-
ceeds from the Commission of Inquiry at Mentz,
or from the intermediite Prussian Commission
which holds its sittings at the Cantle of Kcepenick.

TEA TRADE.--The COPENHAGEN ASIATIC COM-
PANY have determined not to send any ship to
China in the spring, as it was generally supposed
they would have done..
RY E.-By recent accounts from Coblentz it ap-
pears that rye has never been so cheap there for
the last 84 years as it now is, the present average
price being two rix dollars five groschen for the
Coblentz bushel. The highest price ever known
at Coblentz was in 1816, when rye was 11 rix
dollars 15 groschen per bushel Malchin.
At Odensee and Nyborg in Denmark, there
was a dreadful storm on the night of the 14th of
last month, and some persons thought they felt a
shock of an earthquake at half past live, p.m. on
the 15th.

ListioN, Nov. 11.—Lord COCHRANE has been
admitted, on the 28th of July last, to take the
oath of fidelity to the Emperor of Brazil, DON
PEDao. By a Decree of the Bth preceding, he
was to have the pay of a first Admiral, or Com-
mander of the naval forces of Brazil, as long as
he continued in the service of that country ; aml
when he may think proper to retire, he 'will re-
ceive half-pay, with the reversion of it to his
wife.—(French Paper.)
Yesterday the LORD CuANcELLoIt had an au-
dience of the KING.

Prince ESTERIIAZY, the Austrian Ambassador,
transacted business on Saturday, at the Foreign-
office Downing-street, with Mr. Secretary CAN•
NING.

On Saturday Mr. KROUSE, the King's Mes-
senger, left town for the Netherlands.
Mr. STRATFORD CANNING was engaged nearly
the whole of Saturday with. Mr. Secretary CAN-
NING, at the Foreign-nflice, and toOtoolsleave of the
Right Ilonourable Secretary, previous to the de-

parture of. his Excellency on his embassy to St.
Petersburgh. Yesterday his Excellency left
Grillon's Hotel, to-proceed on his journey to St.
Petersburgh.
Sir CHARLES BAOOT has left his house in CUM.
Berland-street, to proceed on his Embassy to the
King of the NETHERLANDS.
THE BURMESE Wan.—We have been favoured
with the perusal of a private letter from an
Officer of Rank commanding a portion of the
Forces employed against the Burmese. Ito states
the
.effective strength of the English to amount to
about 5,000 men, consisting of the 13th, 38th,
and 41st Regiments. The Madras European
Regiment, and the 3d, Bth, 9th, 10th, 17th, and
20th Native Corps, the whole under the command
of Sir Archibald Campbell, of the 38th. lie fur-
nishes the account of the capture of Rangoon,
which has already appeared before the public,
and adds that on that occasion the conduct of the.
British Forces was most shameful,. having plun-
dered the whole town, and destroyed consider
able property. The tents with which the troops
are supplied are totally inapplicable to the ser-
vice, being only 8 feet square with a single pole,
and being made of cotton cloth,. they formed no
'shelter either from the sun or rain. The South-
`West Monsoon commences-in that country in the
month of May ; and, in .cOnseqUence, it was not
likely that any very decisive operations would
take place for some time.-(Sunkti Times.)
The Medina has been employed in Conveyint,
Lord' ST ILO/Groan from Constantinople to Trieste; his Lord.
ship debarked at the latter port on the 3d of November, and
was.to2proceed in a few chip.; to Vienna. It is supposed he will
be in England about Christmas. By.the departure of his Lord-
ship from Constantinople, the interests of the British Govern-
ment in that quarter devolve to a Charge d'Affaires; but we
should suppose they are of too much importance, at present, to
be long entrusted to any one but a Minister of the first rank.—
( Hampshire Telegraph.)
The King of FRANCV, to encourage literature
and music, as far as they are concerned in the-composition of
pieces for. the French Opera House, 'has' establiShed annual
prizes of 4,0,00 francs (1671.') for the best lyric production In
three or in five acts, founded on a subject of national history,
or of imagination ; and 2,000 francs for the best production, in
one act, of the comic or pastoral character. The merits of the,
several works presented for the prizes to be determined upon •
by a " Jury," selected according to the regulations of a !loyal
order.
CATHOLIC ASSOCIATION.—OIIWednesday last

the Catholic Association met at the Corn Exchange, 15ublin,
when, after some preliminary business Mr. O'Connel re-
ported on an Address to the People of Ireland, which he
concluded by moving should be received and adopted by the
Meeting. Mr. Fitzsimmons, seconded the resolution, which
was opposed by Mr. Lanigan and Mr. O'Reilly, the former
of whom moved, and the latter seconded an amendment,
that the Address be re-considered ; the amendment was, hew-
eVer, negatived without a division, and the original motion car-
ried. Mr. O'Coli NEL then announced the subscription to the
Catholic Rent for the last week as amounting to 1,032/. 7s. 9Ad.
and gave notice of a motion for vesting another 1,0001. in the
funds, when after a vote of thank 3 to Sir Tilos. ESMONIEI
the Chairman, the Meeting adjourned to next Thursday.
RECOGNIZANCES.-111 the year 1801 two poor
women in Hereford were bound in the recognizance of 201. each
to attend and give evidence on a trial at the assizes them.
They complied with the conditions, and returned to their homes.
A few weeks since, when 23 years had elapsed, they were both
arrested, on the ground that, after the trial, they. had not ap-
plied to the Court tin a formal discharge from their obligation.
The 'one was bailed, and the other was committed to prison ;
both have since been released by means of a petition to the Barons
of the Exchequer, the fees of which amounting to nearly 61. each
are to be defrayed by subscription. Since this time, four
other poor persons have been committed to Hereford prison by
a similar process, , and with the mere difference that their
omission of this legal form took place seven years ago. In con.
sequence, the visiting Magistrates of the county prison stated
their case to the Lords of the Treasury, through the Secretary
of State, and their Lordships have not only aent to each of
them a discharge free of all expence, under the Royal Sign
Manual, but have also most humanely obtained the sum of
30/. from the Royal bounty, to be distributed, at the discretion
of the Visiting Magistrates, to the unfortunate individuals who
have been exposed to so much distress in their persons and cir-
.
cumstances by the proceedings against them.----(Shrculbuiy
