PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.

PARIS, SEPT. 1.--There is no longer any doubt
bat the severe measures of the Authorities- in the
epartments of the Rhone and the here have car-
ried discontent to its height. The Counsellor of
State, M. Camille Jourdan, who has arrived in
Paris, and who lives in the department of the
Rhone, had already made remonstrances against
the conduct of the Authorities of that department
to different Members of the Government at Pa-
ris, and had finally addressed a memorial to the
King, in which he recommended moderation as
the only means of preventing a catastrophe in
these districts. M. Camille Jourdan was, in
consequence, ordered up to the Capital ; and it
was in consequence of the information which he
gave, that Marshal Marmont was sent to the de-
partments of the Rhone and the Isere with ex-
traordinary powers. This is an important mit).
sion, which may lead hit)) to the Ministry of War.
Martnont is the declared enemy of The present
Minister of War, the Duke of Feltre ; for it was
Marmont who denounced, in the last Session of
the Chamber of Peers, the budget of that Depart-
ment. Theiarrival of Marmont at Lyons will pro-..
bahly lead to the dismissal of Cannel from the
command of that Department, and perhaps, like-
wise of prefect Chabrol. The Minister of Police
is soot) to publi-1) a Report on the disorders which
have been committed without the knowlede of the
Authorities of the'departments of the Rhone, of
the Isere, and otger departments of the south. It
appears that General Cannel, in particular, is
strongly compromised in these disorders. We are
assured, likewise, that General Count Donadieo,
commandant of Grenoble, is on the point of send-
ing in his resignation.
Another event equally important is the return
of Marshal Davoust, Prince of Eckmuhl, Minister
of IVar under Buonaparte, to active service with-
in these few days. He is one of the subscribers
of the famous address to the Chamber of Represen-
tatives, published after the battle of Waterloo, in
which we find the following passage The
Bourbons are rejected by the majority of the French
nation ; they offer no guarantee to the nation."—
He afterwards, however, disavowed the signature
to this address. The wife of the Prince of Eck-
mold is the-sister of the famous General Leclerc,
and daughter of a good haberdasher at Puntoise
You will be sensible that this will not assort we

at Court kith the Princesses and Duchesses of
the ancient Noblesse. The news that the King
of Prussia, instead of going to Cambray to the re-
view of the English army, is gone ro Msubeuge,
to be present at the manoeuvres of the Russian
troops, has increased, as you may well suppose,
certain reports and conjectures already current ;
and people ►lrr not fail to add, that the Due. of
Wellington tritted Paris very dissatisfied, and
that the only success he had was that of having
preserved by his influence the Duke of Feltre iu

the Ministry.
The Special Court of Brussels will soon be oc-
cupied with the process -of M. de Broglio, Bishop
of Ghent, who will be sentenced par conturnqce.

ing to some reports ; according to othcrs, at

CARLSBAD, Avc. 23.—The Prince of Harden-
burg will set out to-day to go to the Prussian
provinces on the Rhine. He has had, dur-
ing his stay here, frequent conferences with
Count Capo d'Ltria. The Secretary of the
English Legation at Vienna, Sir R. Gordon, bro-
ther of Lord Aberdeen, who is Charg6“l'Af-
faires during the absence of Lord Stetvart,has been
here for'soine time. We nre assured that he has

attended many conferences with the Ministers (if
Prussia and Russia. Not►►ing haS transpired of
the result of these conferences. Among the diplo-
matists who have been here for some time, is
Prince Ruff°, Minister of Naples. Since P►ince
Schwartzenberg left Carlsbad, he has remained at
Tmplitz for the beletit of his health, which is now

good. Prince Rasonmowsky, formerly Ambassa-
dor of Russia at the Court of Austria, and now
dorniciliated at Vienna, has had the misfortune of
breaking his leg at Egra, 15 league: front this,
where he was taking the waters,

LONDON,
FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 1817.

The Paris Papers of Tuesday last, which were

due this morning, have not come to hand. We
give from a Morning Paper a Private Letter from
Paris, which serves to mark some of the specula-
tions that have arisen out of the appointment of
Marshal MAttMoNT, Duke of Ragusa, to coin-

mand at Lyons, to which we recently alluded.

[.From Me New York Commercial Advertiser of August 8.)
A Gentleman from Port-au-Prince, who was
there at the time of the explosion of the maga-
zine, as well as that at the fort, states, that the
report of the former, which was caused by light-
ning, was terrible, that the agitation continued
a full minute, and that it was very destructive to
the buildings in the vicinity, many of which had
their roofs blown off, and were otherwise mnch
injured. He heard of no person having been
killed by it, though several who were walk-
ing in the streets were considerably maimed
by the falling of stones. The cause of the
fort having been blown up was said to have
originated in a difficulty respecting two women,
that the Commandant bad: his commission taken
from him, and was otherwise degraded, for which
he threatened to blow up the fort. He accord-
ingly fastened himself up in an apartment near
the magazine, in order to execute his threat, say-
ing, however, he would treat with the President,
or the General commanding, as to his being arrest-
ed, but should any one else attempt it, he should
set fire to the train. The General ordered a detach-
ment against him, who commenced a fire; and
the Commandant, fearing he might be killed or
taken without carrying into execution bis threat,
set fire to a barrel of powder, which blew him to
atoms, but fortunately, did little other damage.
The soldiers belonging to the fort had previously
marched out of the reads of the expected explo
sion.

As The British Press seems disposed to have the

last word on the Embassy to China, we shall in-
dulge it, and now take leave of the subject. We
must repeat, however, out approbation, in which
we are sure we shall be joined by every man zea-
lous for the honour of our country, of the firm-
ness and dignified conduct of Lord AMIIMIST on

the occasion. The Press sneers at the religious
corrirorerty between The Morning Chronicle and
The Courier, But surely such a topic is more ra-
tional than an indulgence of party spleen on the
one hand, or a defenca of Government on the
other, as the tranquil state of all Europe, and the
flourishing condition of this Country, resulting
from the wisdom and energy of British counsels
and British efforts, speak for themselves too
forcibly to require any vindication.

We refer our Readers to the account of the
Roman Catholic Meeting of the 27th ult., and to
the remainder of Mr. TOMLINE'S Speech, in our
Paper this day, and we leave the Nation at large
to reflect whether so restless a Body as the
PAPISTS, who enjoy the fullest toleration of their
Religion, shmild be invested will] any share of
political power. The daring impudence of the
charge, that the British Government encourages
public Schools in order to make, Proselytes from
POPEIIY, iS too lidiClllollll to excite any emotion
but contempt.

Information wal received from Paris this morn-
ing, stating that the Dividends on the Stuck of
the French Loan had commenced paying.
Yesterday the Duke of Yon visited the Pattccs
Rr,GENT at Carlton-house.

Mr. VANSITTART arrived early yesterday morn-
ng, at his house in Downing-street, from Ireland.

On Tuesday last a large Spanish brig, captured
off the Azores by an Insurgent South American
privateer, was brought into the harhour of Din.
gle ; she was bound for Buenos Ayres with a
cargo of brandy. The Prize-master who brought
her in is a Mr. O'CONNOR, who, it appears, is a
native of Dingle. The validity of her capture
will, no doubt, become a subject of discussion la-
the Admiralty Courts.—( Ennis Chronicle.)
The river, at Newcastle Quay, is at present
very much crowded with shipping, there being a
greater quantity of tonnage lying there than teak
ever remembered.—(Cumberland Packet.)
The late squally weather has been productive of
considerable damage to the shipping engaged in
the herring fishing off the coast of Caithness, auci
of very calamitous consequences to some of the
crews of the boats and their poor families : three
boats, one from Prestonpans, another from
Buckie, and a third from Fiehusdale, having five
men in each, were totally lost off Hehnsdale,
early on Tuesday se'nnight ; great anxiety pre-
vails at Cromarty, Catnpbeltown, Avoch, &c., arts,
several of the boats from those places are still.
unheard of.

A Flanders Alail arrived last night, the Papers

of, and it is reiterated that a diminution of ano-
ther fifth %%7;11 take place in about two months.—
The trial of the case of alledged libel upon the
Duke of WELLINGTON came on on Saturday.
When the Mail left Madrid it was currently re-
ported in the diplomatic circles of that city, that
an arrangement had been made by which Spain
is to carry on the Slave Trade till the year WO,
and receive from Great Britain 400,0001. sterling
as an indcmni!y for the late captures of vessels
employed in that trade.—(Morning Chronicle.)
Extract of a Letter from St. Helena, dated ill
June last—s' Madame BERTRAND continues the
same gay creature as ever. She was brought to
bed a few days ago; BuoNtAmaTe paid h-er a lying-
in visit. She took her child in her arms, and
presented it to the Ex-Emperor, saying, 4 Sire, I
have the pleasure of showing you a great curio..
sity—in a word, an unique---the first stranger that
ever was allowed to approach your Majesty in this
island, without permission fro►n the Governor, or
an order from the Secretary of State.' BON
wzi3 quite pleased at the boa mot, and laughed
heartily."

MANCHESTER.—The following is the extract of
letter from Manchester of Tuesday's date :
We have ag►aiu a very animated demand for
!very description of ►manufactured goods, particu-
larly calicoes, all of which are now taken out of
maktr's hands, at an advance of 6d. per piece
I►. last week's prices. The yarns
.of all sorts
1150 meet a brink demand at improving prices.
The request for raw cotton has in consequence
°ten very considerable."

131RMINGLIAM, SEPT. 3.-1 he constant showery
1/calker fir the last fortnight has greatly retarded
the progress of an abundant harvest in this guar-
ter; but which has not, as yet, sustained any
ii)intv. front thr vegetating principle being forced
Y the alternve rain and sunshine.—The farmer's
Plyetices have, no doilibt, been necessarily in-
creased, by the protracted operations ; but, trom
14 present favonrible character of the weather,
commenced on Sunday last, a correspond-
lu remuneration, we hope, will be found hi the
4itinplea of, a well housed crop.

EXPTE2, SEPT. 3.—The fears which have been
'kited tor the fate of the harvest, occasioned by
411 e long continued rains, are happily removed,
lid succeeded by a general joy.—The goodly
Ivork of harvest is proceeding briskly in every di-
tittion ; little, if any, damage has been done to
the crops ; no complaint is heard either of rust or
kildew ; on the contrary, it seems to be the uni-
ersal opinion, that the produce will be the rich-
% and most abundant that the bounty of p-rovi-
-49tce has ever bestowed on the land. From the
present favourable state of the weather, and the
activity of the farmers, it is considered that the
hest part of the wheat in this neighbourhood,
‘vtll be safely stacked by Saturday evening next.

CAmorttnon.—The last few fine clays have en-
MAO this district to barvest the great bulk of the
kbeat, which in quantity and quality is superior
to tl►at of many preceding years.

tiattEinitp.—The harvext in this county has
%cm generally commenced, and a great deal of
earn h•ts been hothed. The late constant rains
114ve done some injury in many situations, but a
t}o period of fine weather will remedy every in-
touvenieuce, and enable the farmer to secure his
trops in fine condit ion.

PcrAsT, Atro.3o —Yesterday the best oatmeal
in our market at a guinea per cwt , and very
vc•• hotyets at that price, owing to the pleasing
binsreef of an ahmolant crop, and in expectation
4f a further fall ht price. In the course of the
'l4y the town bel:mati called it at 2s. Bd. per stone.
‘)ti the 25th rust. there was a fine field of oats
t',„l," stow* near Downpatrick, . belonging to Air.

beNnve, ArG. 29.—Barley harvest commenced
"t Barry oil the 9th of Angu.t, in a field helonl4-
been

t'f very excellent oats. Other fields in the parish
Piave
