membered with a saitisfacitioll equal twthe desire which I have
to'proroote.your nrosperity, security, and happiness.
‘' The only regret felt by me arises, from the melancholy
occasion which brought in. here—the death of the late Lieut.-
. General Sir Jainef: Leith ; a great loss-to the military profes-
sion, which he graced and adorned by his manners, his va-
lour, and his understanding. To Sou were known his gene-
and social virtues; and with you 1 lament, that this

We received this morning the Paris Papers of
Tuesday last. The following are extracts :
" PARIS, OCT. 7.—Yesterday the King, ac-
companied by the. Duchess d'Angouleme, and the
Great Officers of his Household, heard mass in

Marechaux de Camp on halt-pay.

• " The cause of the Censeui- Europeen came on
yesterday in the Cotir Royale. M. Hua, Advocate-
Gcneral,restricted the accusation to a single chapter;
" Manuscrit de Sainte Helene." M. Metil

to this single object, and the cause was postponed
tiil to-morrow, to hear the conclusions of the
public' Ministry.

" It is stated in the Affiches de Nantes, that
the 'French stlip Jean Charles, Captain Peyta-
vin, which sailed' on the 11 t h of July from the
Havanna!), was, after quitting the Channel of
Bahama, chased and captured by a Goelette pri-
vateer of the Independents of Florida, having a
white flag with a green cross. The pretext for the
capture was, that the Jean Charles having come
from the Havannal), her cargo was loaded on Spa-
nish account. She was take❑ into Amelia, where
she arrived the. 27th of July, after having been
plundered by the crew the privateer.

" DitESDEN, SEPT. 23.—1 t is said, that imme-

marriage between the Archduchess Caroline of
Austria and our Prince Maximilian."

We took with some anxiety to the Revenue
Statement of the present Quarter, which is made
up at the Exchequer this day. As the accounts
are not dosect until four o'clock, we cannot gratify
our Readers with the. result ; but we confidently
anticipate, that the CONSOLIDATED FUND will be
equal to that of the Quarter ended the 10th of
October, 1816, and afford another gratifying pronl,l
of the increasing prospetity of ille'Country. 'We
shall not fail to enter i►tt"o an'eXamination of the.

_by.a Gentleman who recently
arrived in town, and, -upon whose authOilty
place a full reliance,ro contradict the exaggerated
accounts in l'helllorning Chronicle respecting the
state of Prussia'. That there have been some dis-
contents in that Conntry is true, but they were
Uy no means of the alarming nature annotinceo
by the Paper in tiostion, and are by thiY times
,most probably at an. end. ,The ,horning. Chronicle
speaks in the following terms respecting the Go-
vernment of Prussia, and the Military.. Of that
Country
1. From the manner.in which the Prussian Government has
lately thought proper' to act, its subjects cannot fail to•he
keenly exasperated against it, The most complete Straw-
cracy prevails tbronghout Prussia; the people tre,rtothing,
and the soldiery every.. thing; the latter take the most un7
warrantable liberties on every occAsinn, assume to themselves
a Precedency over all persons in civil life, and act as if they
considered themselves the only objects of any importance in
the nation. We have heard much of the French .°!;tvatocracy,
but it seems it was,ruitdness itself compared with the•Prus-•
sian. The. 'people of the Rheni,h provinces, who were ac-
customed to a 'veiy different treatment, are the must exas-

Exttact of a,Letter frorn a G.entleman of vetaeitY
in Curaqoa, dated the HMI ult, to his Friend

in this City:—
" By the ChiNntarti who; every one asserts,
has departed from Margarettafor youy.port, froni
that source you must have been informed ciictini •
stanticilly of the insiall'atiOn. of the Guvernment
in Cariaco. A confidential friend, livho arrived
here from St. Thomas's the 2;st ult. mentiong
.
that the day before his sailing, the schooner of
Manegro had
,arrived there with the farnilY
of Colonel VALceo (Caraquaritun) god qchers,
who stated to hint the following :—Tnut • they

sailed from Margaret:a in company with the'
squadron of 114tox, composed of- nine large
vessels and fifteen small ones, for Guayana,
which is affirmed from every quarter to be
by the Republicans ; that on board of the nine
were the Me.mbers of the Government which-- heti
been established in Cariaco, and all the Carqiia'
nian families who were in that place, a great
quantity of ammunition, stores, that
Margarettanians were resolved to defend the
Island until the last of them should be sticrificerift
as in Barcelona, if attacked. The above mentiO4
ed schooner nut being able to beat, to wiiidwarh
the rest of the squadron touched at St. Thowei,'s
that the Bishop of Panama, a Canon, and a jthigs
of the Court, who came in the Expedition lately al"'
rived, entered this pot t the 15th ult. from La Guitro.
The Bishop anti Canon stated to some of thcic
friends here, that the action referred to was vest'
bloody, and that night only was what decided
the contest. Both Armies retreated, being equailf
destroyed ; and that of the battalion of dragoons)
lately arrived, 400 were wounded."

,enired at York Castle. A State prisoner of tire:
name .of ItILEY, who bad been apprehended
some lime ako by au order of the Magistrates
'for treasonable practices, ,bas contrived to de-
stroy himself by cutting his throat with a razor,
although three other prisoners were confined
in the same apart meta with himL one: of whom
actually slept with him. From the result of
the Coroner's Inquest it appears, that he was
deraoged, and probably hat) been so for some
time, having some time before made,an attempt on
his cobseqbenve. of which be had been
watched will' the inmost vigilance.
