French Papers to the 1 ith inst arrived this morn-
ing, but they contain no news of importance : they
are nearly filled with details of the arrival' of 13uo,
NAPARTS and MARIA LOUISA at Paris, and of the en-
lertain went which the City of Paris is about to give
them.

• His Royal iligliness the Duke of KENT has
thought it necessary, in consequence of the state,
mentk contained in Mrs. CLARK•E's Book, to publish
• a Declaration in vindication of his own -character.
His Royal Highness-has also published the Answers
given by Captain Donn, to. a series of Questions
proposed to, him in July last, relative to the Pro-
ceedings against the Duke of YORK, in which hei
in the most distinct and unequivocal manner, asserts,
that the Duke of KENT did not, directly or • indi-
rectly, encourage or sanction the Proceedingi against
the Duke of YORK. The Declaration of the Duke
of KENT, upon such a subject, or upon any sub-
ject, must, of course, obtain implicit credit;
and we rejoice most sincerely to find that
the foul insinuations thrown .out against his
Royal Highness were wholly destitute of founda-
tion. But though the Duke of KENT has complete-
ly removed every possibility of suspicion*rith re-•
spect to himself, yet it by no means follows that his
Royal Highness's name was not tied by• others,
without his knowledge, to forward their own views.
Vpon that point Capt. DODD and Mrs. CLARKE are
direcily at issue. Either Mrs. CLARKE has advanced
the most gross and infamous 'falseho'ods respeCting
Captain Dom), or that Gentleman did constantly
represent rho Doke of KENC to her as most
anxious to promote the Proceedings against the
Duke of YORK. Upon this point we, of course,
cannot undertake to decide ; but it is of import;..
ante that the faat should be ascertained ; because,
if Mrs. CLARKE has accused Captain DODD with-
out foundation, it is proper that these charges shoUld
be refuted, and that Gentleman's .character vindi-
cated; if, on the other hand, eiptain Dmoo did
(as Mrs. CLARKE says he did) make use of the Duke
of KENT'S name to encourage the conspiracy against
the Duke of YORK, it is necessary that his High-
ness shouldbe apprized of that circumstance. We

shall now advert to some of the assertions of Mrs.
CLARICE, in order to spew the necessity of- some
further explidation being given upon the subjea.

In page,46 of her book, Mrs. C. says, that Mr.

WARDLE (old her ghat" he and Alajor DoDD would

hold themselves- responsible for the Duke of KENT
giving five thousand pounds, besides four hundred a
year secured to me, my debts all di:charged, and a
house furnished in any style ofelegance I pleascd.."
She then gives an account of her celebrated tour

to the Martell° Towers, accompanied by Mr. WAR..
D LE, Captain DODD, and Mr. GLE'NNIE.—In page 63,
Vol. 1. after oh,eritig, that Captain Dow) had ex-
pressed a wish to be introduced to Mr. TAYLOR,
the Shoemaker, of whom the public heard so much
in the character of the Morocco Ambassador.-7
•
Mrs. C. says,

I introducedDonD to the lady's shoemaker, as
a trade.iman, under a tal,,e name ; and in order that
they should soon b6come fairr,liar with each other, I
informed DoDD that Mr. l'Ay.t.ott was an excellent

draught-player, and not a little fond of being consi-
dered a prOficient in 'this' science, which produced
an immediate exertion upon the draught-board. The
Ambassador soon found ghat his companion could
not play, which rendered
_the game fiat and unin-
teresting to both of them. DODD was therefore
driven to another expedient fo obtain, a flee-•
dons of conversation, and accordingly asked Mr.
TAYLOR to take
.a glass of brandy and water,
which he made nearly all brandy, and forced it
upon him as fast as possible. This (or a time had
the desired dice, as it made the Ambassador very
loquacious in his answer.; to Major Dom) with re-
spea to the Duke of •YortK's affairs."
•
In page 68 lie sayS—
" Major DODD was constantly going to and from
the Duke of KENT, at Ealing, to me at Westbourne
Place, on !the business of displacing his Royal
BrOther."

Now, after the Duke of KENT'S declaration, we
know that the above assertion, as far as his Royal
Highness is concerned, cannot be true; but the
ipiestion is, did Capt. DODD tell Mrs. C. that he
came from the Duke of KENT ?

We might multiply our quotations without end;
but there are two or three which are too important

to be passed over.

Pays--

In page 81, VOl. 1, Mrs. CLAratE

" It being necessary to satisfy me7-that ALior
Dom) had not deCeived With respect to the autho-
rity lie bad from this high personage (the Duke of
KENT) tolenguge and remunerate my services in the
House of Commons, the Major brought me many
of the Duke's Lettt!rs to read, not only with respell
to myself, but upon other matters."

In page 85, afterimentioning the speech made by
the Duke of KENT in the House of Lords, in which
his Royal Highness the thkke of KENT profeksed the
highest respect for his ROyal brother, Mrs. CLA RKE
says, she

" Asked. Captain Dom) hoW the Duke could
make such a speech, after, all he had done against
the Duke of YORK ? pub,' said DCDD,
that was political : appearances, you, know, my
little lady, must be kept up, and my Royal friend
says, that a nian is never considered guiltY till he is
proved so."

Now if this be all invention, on the part of Mrs.
CLARKE, a more serious caluMny against Captain
DODD cannot be imagitiPd. If that G.:ntlemAn did

use the expressions imputed to hiM,,,what are we

to say to, the following answer given. by Captain
Dom) to the queries proposed to Mtn by the Duke
of KENT in July last ?

Q. « Have you ever, to your recollection, express-
ed yourself, either by word or in writing, either toCo-,
lonel WARDLE or Mrs.CLARKE, or ally other pvrscm
connected - with the investigation on the Duke of
Yonk's conduct, in any way that could give Ahem
reason to suppose that I approved of the measure,
or would countenance those concerned in bringing it
forward ?—A. Never. But I have, on the contrary,
expressed myself that your Royal:Highness would
have a very different feeling. (Signed T. DoDD.)"
Between Mrs. CLARKE and Capt. DODD, We can-
not decide, but it is quite clear that by, one or other
of them the Duke of KENT'S name has been used,
without his Royal Highness's knowledge), for •the
most culpable purposes.

There was no Bulletin issued this day upon the
state of the Duke of CUMBERLAND, and they are to
he discontinued, in future. During his Royal High-
ness's confinement since his attack, Mr. Plups, his
Majesty's. oculist, has ttequently sat up with him
The Doctors w.ll not allow his Royal,Highness.to
ride out yet.
Yesterday more ing his MAJESTY, Princesses A0"-;
6usTA and SOPHIA, accompanied by Ladies CHAS-
LEI and COLLIER, General Ferzaoy and Mapr
PRICE, went to St. George's. Chapel, and heard di--;
vine service. The Royal Party afterwards return.4d.
to the Palace. At• three o'clock his MAJESTY vi-
sited Princess.Amei.ta, who, we have the pleasure
to say, had on Saturday a-comfortable night, and is
a little better.

The Superieure, French privateer, commanded
by an Englishman, named AGAR, lately captured
otT Port-au-Plate, St. Domingo, a British schooner
from Vera Cruz, for Nassau, with 70,000 dollars;
and three days after captured a Spanish ship, with
forty fugitives, from Cadiz, proceeding to settle in
Cuba, and having on board 140,600 dollars in cash,
and a valuable cargo. After plundering the Spanish
ship, AGAR gave her up to the passengers, with
permission to continue their voyage.. The Superieure
and her prize proceeded to St. Bartholomew's,
where the money, &c: was landed, and distributed,
under strong grounds of suspicion that the Swedish
Governor was 'a party in the, transaEtion. A British
frigate and a loKig of war were sent to St. Bartho-
lomew's to demand. the surrender of the Superieure,
together with the restoration of the booty she had
made ; and,' on the Governor 'refusing to comply,
the brig was, dispatched to Admiral cOCHRANE tor
instructions, while the frigate closely blockaded the
port, and it was supposed the privateer would be
taken by force. The Governor was, however,
fitting the Superieure as a cutter, to carry dispatches
to Sweden, and had' given the command of her to
Captain J. PORTELE. His participation in the depre-
dation of this vessel has been satisfactorily establish-
ed, io consequence of the privateer having captured
MI American schooner with a valuable cargo, which
was landed on the beach at St. John's, and delivered
'into the hands of the Governor.

A Resolution has been submitted to the American
House of Representatives against Generil
Commander in Chief of the Army, tor
having corruptly received money from the Spanish
GOvernment, and for being an accomplice with
Colonel BURR, in a project to dismember the United
States.

The Recruiting Service, both for Regiments of the
Line and for the Militia, has 'lately been carried on
with very great success.
A considerable number of Americans have been
discharged from our ships of war in the West Indies,
in obedience ti orders from the Admiralty.
Some disturrance took 'place on Monday, in a. re-
giment of Local Militia quartered at Stamford. Two
of the privates having got intoxicated at their guar-
ters, and absented theMselves from parade, were
taken into custody. In the evening a party of their
comrades, at the instigation of some of the towns-
people, went in a tumultuous manner to the guard-
house .1
and liberated the two in confinement. The
proceeding necessarily became the subject of investi-
gation; and at a Court-Martial, held the following
day, the ringleader of the mutineers was sentenced
to receive 200 lashes. In consequence however of
his contrition' and previous good charatler, Lord
BROWNLOW remitted the. punishment. The con-
dud of the corps has since been most exemplary.
