We received this morning the Paris Papers of
Monday last. They give the conclusion of the
ial before the Court of Assizes at Aveyroo, re-
lative to the assassination of M. Ey ALDEs. . The
Jury unanimously declared Bostick, jousion, Bnx,
and Colard guilty as principals, and the Widow Ban -
cal as an accomplice, in the murder of M.FUALDES,
with tit meditation. Missonnier and Anne Benoit,
guilty of the same crime, but cxithout prmedita-

tion. Bonsquier, guilty as an accomplice, in
throwing the body into the river. The daughter
Bancal, not guilty of the assassination, either as
principal or accomplice. Jausion and Bastide
were also declared guilty of the robbery of the
propetty taken from the residence of M. FUALniS
on the mottling of tl►e 20th March, but without
force.. The woman Jausion was declared an ac-
con►plice, but that she acted without knowing
'lhe motive. The woman Galtier was declared not
guilty.—The President declared acquitted the
daughter Batted, and the women Jausion and
G.iltier, and they were ordered to be discharged.
The widow Bancal, Bastide, Jausion, Bax, and
Colard, were sentenced to death. Missonnier
and Anne Benoit to compulsory labour for life,
and I3ousquier to ono year's imprisonment.—lt is
added, that Madame Manson had been arrested
at the instance of the Procurettr-General of the
Coen• Royale.—The following are extracts :
" Pants, SEPT. 22.—Yesterday after mass the
King received the Dignitaries, the Ministers, the
Marshals, the Corps Diplomatique, and other per-
sons of distinction. The Duke de Feltre also
paid his respects to the King.
" They write front Nantes, that a Woman has
died in the village of Petit Mars aged 100 years
and a few months.

" An individual has died at Leige, who for .a
long time lived by begging. ..After his death there
was found in his apartment property to the amount
of upwards of 8,000 francs.
"A notice, dated 12 o'clock last night, from the
President of the Electoral College of the Seine,
states, that the Scrutiny in seven of the Sectional
Assemblies not having been then finished, it
would be impossible for the result of the General
Scrutiny to be published in the Central Bureau at
the hour appointed by law for the opening of
the assemblies. This day, therefore, is to be
employed in these operations, and the Sectional
Assemblies will be opened to-morrow morning.
" The following are the persons who yesterday
obtained the greatest number of suffrages at the
19th section, as Deputies, M.M. La6tte, 217—
Camel de la Boutiardierei 203—Bellart, 199
Roy, 191—Pasquier, 163—Gonpy, 155—Breton,
142—Benjamin Delessert, 146—Benjamin Con-
stant, 107—The number of voters was 425.
" Yesterday the General and Staff Officers, and
the Chefs de Corps of all Arms at Paris, present-
ed their congratulations to Marshal Gott ion St.
Cyr, the Minister of War.

"It is remarkable that the votes at the Seetimns
of Paris fur Deputies are so divided,. that in none
of them has any nomination been made by an ab-
solute majority, but only by a relative majority.
The number of voters of all the Sections as-
hembled was about 6,500.
" The statement of Births and Deaths in the 12
Municipalities of Paris, for the year 1816, gives the
following results : number of deaths inl 816, 19,801;
ditto, 1815, 21,549 ; included in the number in
1816, are 7,312 deaths in hospitals ; number of
deaths by the small-pox in 1816, 150 ; ditto,
1815, 190; number of suicides in 1816, 188, viz.
122 men and GG women ; ,iitto, 1815, 175 ;
Births in 181(i, 22,366, viz. 11,584 mules, and
10,782 females ; Excess over deaths, 2,565 ;
in 1816, 278 persons were drowned, viz. 222
males, 56 females. •

" A reduction is said to have taken place at the
Ministiry of War, to the number of from 3 to 400
pers4rts hitherto employed there.
" They write from Lausanne, that—the Apos-
tolic Nsincio •in Switzerland, M. Carlo-Zen, re-
ceived, the Gth instant, intelligence of his.nomi-
natiOn to the nunciature at the Court otYrance,
with orders to proceed immediately to Home, to,
receive his instructions.

" PETERStUtICM, Aug. 27.—The harvest of
wheat, rye, and barley, is finished in Poland, and
surpasses every hope.
" The Grand Duke .Michael commenced the
23d his tour in the interior of the Empire. After
his retorn„ lie will set out ori another in Italy,
Germany, France, and England.

" VIENNA, SErer. 11.—Tbeir Impetial Majesties
are expected bete early in November.

" It is understood, that from and after the Ist
01 January 1818, all the taxes are to be paid in
cash, and the Court, will also pay in cash the sa-
laries of the public functionaries.

" LAUSANNM, SCrT. 1 6.—lc appears certain
that new negociations are about to be opened be-
tween Switzerland and France, respecting com-
mercial relations which are to be established on a
permanent footing, and adapted to the new system
of the French costoms.

" One hundred and six of our fellow country-
men are now in the Tagus off Lisbon, dreadfully
deltitntc. These unfortunate individuals em-
barked in Holland for the United States of Ame-
rica, having paid a part of their passage. They
did not discover, till it ‘vls too late, that the small
brig in which they were crowded was short of

provisions anti water. The Captain put into
Plymouth under the pretext of obtaining pro-
vislons, and demanded a further advance of money
from the passengers ; be spent this sum) again
put to sea, and they arrived at Lisbon without
any means ,of continuing their voyage. In this
situation, these unfortunate emigrants, punished
too late for their want of foresight, solicited the
charity of some Swiss residents at Lisbon. A
collection was made, which produced 100 Louis,
but this was not found sufficient to provide for
conveying them to their destination, and their
prospects are most lamentable."

The critical state of the reigning Kf.NG Of SSVE-
DEN is likely to produce extraordinary events. It,
is impossible that the legitimate Powers of Europe
can see with satisfaction a Military Adventurer of
low origin, and who was deeply concerned in that
dreadful Revolution which, shook every State to
the centre, mount upon a Throne. Besi:les, it is
well known that many of the NobleS, and a large
Majority of the people of Sweden, feel strongly
the humiliation of their country, and long for
the return of their lawful Monarch, whose spirit
and heroism were quite in unison with the cha-
racter of his glorious Ancestors. The cause of
his removal from the Throne was honourable in
the highest degree to himself, and a reproach to
all other Monarchs but that of Great Britain. The
very Army of Sweden, if they have any sense of
the honour of their country, and the dignity of
their profession, cannot but participate in the na-
tional feelings. Norway is kept in reluctant
obedience, and on the death of the reigning King,
the Person who expects to succeed to the Throne
will have plenty of difficulties to wade through
before he can smooth the passage, and. secure the
possession. We shall see what part the Emperor
of Russia will perform, and whether he really
deserves the epithet of magnanimous, which has
hitherto been applied to him, and consequently
whether Le will support. the cause of Justice,
prove the friend of Misfortunes, and support the
honour of Thrones.

THE FUNDS.—The rise which took place yes-
terday the Stocks is fully rnaintained this morn-
ing. Consols opened for Money at 8114—for the
Account 8l Ir--and for November Account 82/ ;
they continued at those prices. Such is the con-
fidenCe of the monied interest as to a further con•
siderable advance, that bets have been made that
Consols will be dOne at 84 on or before settling
day, October 14.—We understand the Bank in-
tend calling in the whole of the 11. and 21. Notes
at the conclusion of the present year, so digit
at the commencement of 1818, the smallest Bank
Note in circulation will be for 51. The interest
upon French property in our Funds, added to the
French dividends now receiving, will bring one
million and a half of money into the market. The
English dividends commence paying the 7th of
next month, amounting to seven millions, the
whole of which is ready to be paid in speck.

The Morning Chronicle this day has thought
proper to give a translation of a French hand-bill,
proposing a subscription to support the Liberty of
the Press. We knoW very well that the advocates
for this liberty mean licence; and surely The Morn-
ing Chronicle need not resort to foreign importation
for such liberty, when it is so skilful in the home
manufacture.

One •of the persons, of reforming notoriety,
lately tried, is said to be engaged to support the
political principles of one of the chief Opposition
PapNs. If this report be well founded, we may
judge of the nature of the principles which such
a Politician is employed .to support;and how far
they are likely to be consistent with those prin-
ciples ttpon..Which that Constitution is founded,
which has rendered us the envy of all other States.
We conceive that the Paper alluded to should
come forward and contradict this .report, if it is•
not well founded. The'character of the Journal
iii .qUestion has already suffered by .its reported
connections.'

Extract of a Letter just received from fin Eng,
lisle Merchant now resident in Buenos-Ayres
We remain very quiet here, and I think we
shall continue so. We shall soon have a larger
field open -to us, owing to the occupation of Chili
by the Patriot Armies. This has already given
new life to on: commerce, and it seems probable
that we shall soon have the valuable market of
Peru laid open to this Settlement. The British
Government ought to do all in their power to
foster and protect this trade, which may eventu-
ally be a second North America to us. The Por-
tuguese remain in Monte Video, but they seem
to discover a great backwardness. in their expedi-
tion., wFatever be its object."
The Russian Grand Duke Mount is expected
to pass the ensuing winter in England. His im-
perial Highness will reside at Stratford House,
Stratford Place, which remains in the state it was
left by his brother NICHOLAS.
Lord COCHRANE has returned from his Conti-
nental excursion, and is again to be seen in his

SHIP NEWS.

The following Is an Extract of a Letter reedit 1
ed from Capt. Jotfigs, of the sloop William, by hi
Owners in London, dated Cadiz, Sept:6, 1817
" I am happy to inform you of my safe arrivai
here in 3 days from Lisbon, but should have had I.
shorter Passage, had it not been for the Spadislt
brig of war the Volunteer, of Cadiz, which did me
a great deal of damage. As soon as she hailed
me, she immediately opened a fire on me (being not
more than front 20 to 30 yards distant) with great
guns and small arms; which tore the mainsail
much, giving me no time to do any thing. At
last I got out the boat, and Went in Fier ; and
while going on board the brig, slit kept up a con•
tinual fire of musketry for more than ten minutes,
This hurt my feelings very rhtich; expecting,
when I came on board, to find my Son; mate, And
the two English passengers, who were on bdard,
shot, as I had no less than one 12-pounder and
eleven musket-shot through my mainsail ; two
through the foresail ; one in the mainmast, and
others through the bulwarks and bows. The jib.,
sheets, topmast shrouds, gaff topsail tie, and main
halyards, besides the boat's gripes, were shot
away, but happily no one bum"
