LONDON,
TUESDAY, AUGUST' 17, 1819.

We received this morning the Paris Papers of
Saturday last. Tbe following are extracts :
" Paats, AUG. 14.—The King has enjoyed very
good health since his return to Paris. Yesterday
his Majesty transacted business with the Mini-
ster of the Interior, and the Minister for Foreign
Affairs.

" The Prefect of Police has fixed the price of
bread of the first quality, from Thursday last, es
follows—

Loaf of 151 b. 39 sous Os. sous Id.)-
611). 19} sous (91d.)-11b. 13 sous (63d.). Second Quality

" account Iron Frank state, that the
Countess dr Survilliere, Ex-Queen of Spin, had
been attacked by a danr.,etons malady, and splice-
bensions were entertained for her life.

" The two young ►Madagd3cnr Princes were
present at the lent verformauce at the Opera.—

Surprise wns the' first sentliuer►t they expressed,
but on seeing the 13allet they broke out into the
wildest transports 9f joy, and began dancing in
their box, in ►mitation of the dancers on the stage.

" Tke Duke de Richelieu, it i! said, is about
to set out for Spa.

" Brussels is now litibted with gas,..and this
mode of lighting streets is also about to be intro-
duced at Copenhagen.
" The Baron de Lebzeltern, Austrian Ambassa-
dor to the Court of Russia, has arrived at Paris,
accompanied by two Secretaries.

" A discussion of some warmth has for some
time occupied the salons, between the Chevalier
Crawford, an Englishman, and several French•
men of distinction. It is at length about to be
brought before the Correctional Tribunal, where
the Chevalier Crawford has instituted a suit for
calumny against the D..ke de Grammont, the
Duke de Guiche, the Count d'Orsay, the Countess
d'Orsay, and the Marchioness de Soutdis.
The Duke de Richelieu set out yesterday
morning for Courteil, an 'estate belonging to the
Duchess ; he returns to Paris in a week.

" CARLSBAD, AUG. I.—We are no better in-
formed here than elsewhere, as to the object of
the conferences, which are to take place in this
(own. The assemblage of, di!,loinatie personages
is numerous and brilliant, although not yet com-
plete. The general opinion is, that measures
will be adopted, directed against the spread of
democracy, the abuses of the freedoni of the
Press, 'and the too great extension of the power
of the States•General.—These reports, however,
are said to have been circulated by interested
people ; but it is certain that those who pretend
to be the sole friends of freedom are the real ob-
jects of disquietude.:

" VIENNA, AUG. 2.—The Emperor and Ein-
press and the Archdoches Caroline arrived yes-
.
terday at Schce)brlttn.
_ _ _

" CARLSBAD, AUG. I.—There is no doubt that
ditTerent questions relative to the interests of the
ihe Germanic Confederation will be agitated here.
It is ~-Iderstood that there will in particular be
discussed the question of the establishment of a
Supreme Tribunal for the execution of the de-
crees of the Diet.

•' DRESDEN. AUG. 6.—lt is said that the con-
'erences at Tceplitz will lead to oegociations be-
ween Ansttia andllnssia.

" The King of Prussia and the Duke of Wel-
lington, by invitation of the Emperor Alexander,
proceed to Warsaw, to be present at the Grand
Reviews of the Polish Army."

THE PRINCES 3 or WALES.—We retain our con-
viction, that, notwithstanding all that has been
sad of the expected return of the Princess, of
WALES to this Country, there is no probability of
such an event. That her finances are not in the
most prosperous situation is admitted, but her
income is very large, and ought to be fully suffi-
cient to maintain her state with suitable splen-
dour, if properly managed, and, therefore, it is
not probable that it will be augmented, or any
pecuniary supply be sent, 06 it would only be a
reward and encouragement for improvidence.
The idea of the Princess's return to Kensington-
Palace is absurd.

We find that we undervalued our own autho-
rity on Saturday last, respecting the amicable al-
liance which has taken place between our Govern-
ment and the Court of Persia, and that in reality
there is no doubt of the fact. The matter, it
seems, was less known than we supposed, and that
though it might he heard by some persons inti-
mately connected with Goecrnment, yet that it
was not generally mentioned in our own poliical
circles, and had certainly not reached, as we er-
roneously stated, the Dipiomatique circles either of
Paris or in this country. In confirmation of the
fact, we learn that a vessel with Persians, who were
cnunected with an important mission to this
country, sailed for India last week, and that. ac-
tive movements are going forward at Wool-
wich, under the direction of a distiognialted Offi-
cer of the Artillery, of great knowledgp, experi-
ence, and abilities, who had long been in Persia.

The approaching Meeting of the Sovereigns
and their liinistera at Carlsbad seems chiefly to
ingross the attention of all the continental,States.
Thu revolutionary spirit which prevails in Ger-
many has naturally excited great alarm among
the 114.,1ier orders, because it is supposed ro be
stronger and more extensive than has hitherto
been imagined. If report may he trusted, touch
diss.oincnt exist 3 _a i those territories which 114 Yr

been added to the Prussian dominions, and 011- °
the topics for discussion in the ensuing congress
is said to relate to the Throne of ,Sweden, " tb°
elevation of BERNADOT7'9 has been tar from sii"
tisfactory to the other Powers. It is rumour,
ed that the Emperor of,ussix takes an *el"
interest in the cause'of tEesSoa oft the exiled INP'
witch of Sweden, and that the Father of tbl!
Prince, whose character and attainments are held
in high regard,-is by no means himself disposed
to resume the toils of Royalty, even if be C 0
be restored, but wishes anxiously for the devgl:
tiou of his Son. The Ex-Qualm of Swsooth ;to
appears, is actively attempting to promote th°
same desirable event. Nothing seems to be w
a
ll"
ing but a rupture between the present Posser"°:
of the Swedish Crown and the Empero 421:
Russia; and there is reason to believe that such`
proposals have been offered to the former
ought to satisfy a reasonable ambition, if tic 'vi
li
abdicate a Throne to which he has been raised
by a combination of extraordinary events, 011°i
a revolutionary nature, and consequently csleu.
lated to weaken the foundation of legitin'tit!
Royalty. Great events are certainly expected"
but whether they will prove of such a tiwcrit
don as the Meeting at Carlsbad is intended
produce, may well be ciest,Thned. The distafale
proceedings in this Country give spirit to the dis'.
contented on the Continent, anti a desire of is
Representative Constitution is so widely (16'54
abroad, that the Sovereigits are placed 111 a crib'
cal sit ustiot) ; and it seems absolutely necessAli
for their own secrity, that they must concede
something' to the popular dernati:l and exrcta4
tion. Happily we enjoy the Representative t)r•
tem which has long rendered us a powerful
tion by its practical utility; and if we can preset.°
it from the hands of the Rebels and Traitors s'il°
stile themselves Reformers, we have full reaso" "Pa
hope that we shall continue to be the col au
admiration of all other States.

The following Letter from Ai!cant &man
the attention of Government, and sinless retires°
is previously 'administered, will no doubt receic
all possible attention from our Rulers. it 81"
pears, that our Ambassador, Sir H. Vist.tsst'g."
as might be expected, has acted with proper sliifir
on the occasion, and that proceedings were to "
staved till the KING'S returh from Sacedon.
conclusion of the letter nrsy therefore have been
too hastily written, and, all circumstances
sidered, it is highly probable that some fnistB(,,;
has arisen, for which tire Minister of Finance 011
be answerable, and that full satisfsetiOn and in:
denitrify will be made to those who have snifereu-
by the measure in question :
ALICANT, JULY :IT, 1819.—Repeated orders from rin3if
the Minister of Finance, having been given to our emoul'td:
'to mahe all foreigners pay the contributions and forced letan-
raised for the fitting out of the Cadiz Expedition, and
Henry Wellesley, our Ambassador at Madrid, on the °lb::
hand, advising us to resist, we have all, in spite of the /2`.;
Treaty, had our property embargoed and sold at publica'lcti:;
to cover the quota and costs. Ours was I e,..500, Flak,
Vie
the first Spanish Houses have only had to pay 4000.
sent a Petition by courier to the Ambassador, who Oh_.;(lt-ti
loss of time attended to our claims, and sent bins hock
an order from the Minister of State to stay proceedinP
the King's return from Sacedon ; but the Constrhohr say, tbej
have only to obey the orders from the Minister of Fi,''''!ce,rs
and having once gut our money they will nut easily retail)
