SULENI QUIS DICEICE FALSUNI AUDCAT ?

LONDON,
SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1817.

We received last night the Paris Papers of Tues-
day last. :►Those of .Wednesday, which were due
this morning, have not come to hand. It will be
seen from our extracts in another column, that M.
LAFITTE, the banker, is the only Candidate at
Paris, who, having the majority required by the
French Election Laws, has been declared to
be elected a Deputy. There were therefore seven
more still to elect. The Sectional Assemblies
were to meet again on Tuesday for the purposes
of another scrutiny, the result, not having re-;
ceived IVednesday's Journals, we do not know.
The following are the names of the seven can-
didates who, on the first scrutiny, were found
next to M. LAFITTE to have the highest num-
bers :---

M.M. lienjamin Deiesseit, banker - - - - 3,044
Casimir Perrier, banker - - 2,319
Manuel, advocate - - - - - - 2,771
Bellart, Councillor of State, Procureur-General
to the Cour Royale, President of the Electm eel

College of the Seine - - - - 5;43
Carnet de la Bonnardiere, Master of Requests,

111a7or of the nth Arrondissement - - 2,453
Roy, advocate _ . - 2,380
Benjamin Constant de Rebecque - - - 2,346

Some guess ►nay -be formed from this list with
regard to the ultimate result of the election, though
it is of course impossible to anticipate with any
certainty who may be finally chosen. LA FAYETTE,
who is the third with respect to number of votes
after BENJAMIN CONSTANT, appeari to have no
chance, and the success of the latter appears
doubtful. BELLART will of course be elected,
but his being so low on the list slims the little
influence possessed by the Government. The
high numbers of the Bankers are not. very difficult
to account for, independent of any political feel-
ing. The result, however, so far as it is known,
shews time existence of a strong spirit of opposi-
tion to the Government.

Au article in one of the Journals, purporting to
Ise an Extract of a private Letter from St. Peters-
burgh, contains some curious statements. It is
said that the Russian Government is about to
address an invitation to all the Courts of Europe,
requesting them to prohibit the equipment of
vessels of War, and the exportation of arms for
the use of the Insurgents of South America, and
that a prohibition of this nature has been al-
ready obtained from Austria. It is also reported
that the Russian Court is occupied with a project
for inducing all the European Powers to conclude
a Treaty,, with the view of taking rigorous mea-
sures against Pirates in all quarters ; classing
amongst them, in the first place, the privaXders of
the South American Insurgents.

A serious tumult is stated to have taken place
at Berlin on the 7th instant, between the men of
the Landwehr, the troops of the line, and the
Bourgeois of the city, in which several persons
were severely wounded, bat no particulars are
given. The circumstance is also mentioned in
the same general way in the German Papers
which came to hand last night.

This morning we received Philadelphia Papers
of one day later than the last arrival.
The Philadelphia Journal, of Aug. 15, contains
the following extract of a letter front an Officer

in the Patriotic Army, dated Fernandina, AtiVil
S:—

" A detachment of forty Indians has Ide
is appearance at St. ..John's. Rumour says, ib
part of the inhabitants applied for aid to the 6°'
veinor of St. Augustine, and the other part
our General. However, a detachment of olir
Army is on their march to that place, to rere
them. We have had t‘vo alarms lately from (1)
Indians ; I fired on ev'erai last night *bile °
duty.—We are very. sickly among our Office°
and men." •

The German Papers received last night contD:'
the following ►etter from America respecting
gration,•detailing circumstances which it is higo
important should be generally known :

" BosroN, JvLy 4, 1811'

" The rage of emigration from Europe to this coif
try prevails to such a degree, that every ship which arre
is crowded with emigrants, who, on their arrival, are 1011
starved. Among those last arrived, the most are Swi,
Wurtembergers, and Palatines. Last week there arrited be
four ships from Holland, with 3,250 Sitiss on board, from Of
cantons of Basle and Zurich, who were in the most wretch'3
condition. In New York there are aboVe 16,008 of still
emigrants, emigrants, Irish, Scotch, and Germans, in a more lamentaW
condition than that of the Lazaroni at Naples. Great soli;'
cellars are opened, in order at least to protect these Po';
wretches against famine. In concert with many of 00
most respectable men in this city, .I request you, Ger
tlemen, to make known in one of the Vienna Journals tl
true situation of these deluded emigrants, as it appears that
the most erroneous ideas prevail in Europe respecting the
state of, things in America. The whole American coast, frog'
the river St. Lawrence to the mouth of the Mississippi, 0
very populous, and the 'country well peopled and cultivated to
the extent of from 300 to 2,000 miles from the sea coast:"
What is called Emigrant's Land lies,at the distance of 3,00°
English miles from any of the Atlantic provinces, and 06
journey thither must be made .on foot. America has' no neca
of artisans and mechanics, for all manufactured goods are in:"
ported cheaper than they can be manufactured in the countrl.
The warehouses in the American cities are filled with English
goods, which are sold at any price.. Provisions are four tinici
as dear in America as in Germany: I pay 13 dollars per weir
for my table. To all this must be added, that during the
gorous winter season, which bits here in general (ruin seven
to eight months, there is no employment whatever fur the
labouring poor."—(4u.strian Observer to Scpt. 14.)
