LONDON,
THURSDAY, MAY 22, 1817,

We received last night the Paris Papers of
Sunday last, and this morning the Journals of
I*.lontlay. The former contain very little of im.
purtance. They mention the intended journey of
the King of PrtusstA to his /1116nish Provinces,
but 401 not renew the report of his expcted visit
to Paris. The five per cents. on Saturday were-
-68 f. 40 r.

Thue following are extracts from Monday's

Papers

" PAIUS, MAY JD.—`!'fie King yesterday heard
muss its the chapel of the Tltil;eries, and af!tr-

warcis Itclti a Ci.urt, was nkittari,usly et-
tenactl.

" Four Missionaries, three of them for Cayenne
and one for the Island of Goree,• have received
orderi to embark.
--" From New York we learn, that Mr. Jacob
gone, a merchant, who was the Agent of Petion,
has failed for a considerable amount.
" STOCKHOLM, Mnv s.—The events in Gothia
are to be determined upon by the superior Court
of Justice. Besides the Provincial Doctor Berge-
n)), a Professor is also accused as the author of
some couplets which were sung. • Lieutenant
Lincisfelt, uho uttered reprehensible menaces
against a high personage in Eastern Gothia, the
place of his residence, has been brought here and
delivered over to the superior Court of Justice.
The Denunciator of the 14th of March, Lind-
holm, who has proved nothing of what he ad-
vanced, and all whose allegations are false, will
be soon tried.

" The repressive measures againit contraband
goods are more active and severe than ever.

" VIENNA, MAY S.---Two dreadful fires °cent.-
red (luring last month in Hungary. The first on
the 12th, nt Khesteln, destroyed 126 houses and
five stables ; and the second at Stein-Am-Arger
(Saborie), reduced to atbc3 230 houses; five indi-
viduals perished, and the remaining inhabitants
are in the greatest distress."

We understand that there was more " metint
than met the ear" in the Count Da BLAC.%s's
hasty journey from Rome to Paris. The fact,
we learn, was, that a General D-- having dis-
covered the existence of a deep-laid plot against
the BOURBONS, wrote to the Minister of the Po-
lice at Paris, and not receiving an answer, he
thought the circumstance of this silence gave
more interest to the subject, and he therefore
deemed it his duty to write to the Count Da
&ACAS, then at Rome, the whole particulars of
his discovery. The Count proceeded in conse-
quence to trace the matter through several towns
in Italy; and considering the whole affair as well-
founded, conceived that it was his duty to hasten
with the intelligence to his Royal Master at Paris.
The sudden journey of the Count to Paris has
been ascribed to other causes ; but we are assured
that the fact really is as above stated.

EXTRACTS OF LETTERS FROM THE AGENTS TO
LLOYD'S, AT FAYAL, DATED TUB 18TH AND 19TH
OF Arm. 1817.

" Ariut. 18.—We have intelligence of three
Insurgent privarcers having been in the latitude
of Flores ; they consisted of two schooners and
a brig, and were occasionally in company. Mr.
Wt.t. Mum, master of the Ann, from London,
acquaints me he fell in with three vessels on the
let instant, which answered the description of the
above privateers;---he hoisted his colours, but it
being near dusk, and blowing fresh, they did not
molest him. They were steering Eastward.

" AMT. l9.—Yesterday evening an American
brig from New Yolk, hownd to Gibraltar, came
into onr Bay and landed the Master and crew of
the Portuguese ship Marquez do Pomba!, Captain
GONSALVEs DA COSTA, from Pernambuco to
Oporto, captured on the 26th ult. in lat. 38. 50.
long. 36. The Captain and crew of the privateer
were nearly all Americans, and the Master of the
vessel bound to Gibraltar has given the Portuguese
Captain a certificate that the Commander of the
Privateer is JoSP,P6I STAFFORD, sin American, and
native of Baltitnore. The privateer captured'the
Portuguese brig St. jaw) Protector, CARDOZA
master, from Bahia to Lisbon, and a Spanish
ship from Havannah to Cadiz. She manned her
3 prizes and sent them, it is supposed, either for
Carthagena or St. llotningo. The privateer is
called the Patriota de Buenos :lyres, and it does
not appear that she has been in concert with two
schooners."

The Ganymerte frigate returned to the Downs
yesterday : she fell in with the Moorish corvette
on Monday, off Beaehy Iltaa; and ckateither to
the kVestward.

Lam) COCHRANE.—The people of the Stock
Exchange were surprised by the appearance of
Lord COCHRANE this day at that place. lie in-
quired for u person in the loom, and was imme-
diately recognized. After having been cheered
three times, he retired amidst the loudest accla-
mations of applause.

Notwltiwantling the ze3l and perseverance of
Oppoiition in support of the measures which
they brie forward themselves, or the activity
anti rescl{t►tion with xhich they endeavour to
thwart those proposed by Government, we believe
:hat ;I they were fully aware tlf 'the mittetligvons,

or rather 11,gitions designs of tinnier Pe!Weal
Societies in this Country, they would pause its
their career. We have good authority for stating
that nothing short of an intention to poison the
public mind in all directions, and a consequent
attempt to overthrow the whole of our Establish-
ment in Church and State, was the real object in
view among the artful Leaders and Instigators
of those Societies. The French Revolution,
and its horrible success iu elevating the most
worthless characters into the highest degrees of
political power, operated as a strong incitement
to the Demagogues of this Country to aim at the
same ascendancy. A Society in Manchester about
the years 1793 and 1.794, at the head of which was
a man well-known, of the name of COOPER, we
are assured bad Methodized the following plan for
the perpetration of their pernicious purposes..
Their first object was to, effect the abolition of
the Slave Trade, not from any motives of pity to-
wards the Negroes, but as a means for diffusing
among all ranks enthusiastic notions of Liberty,
the more effectually to smooth the way to ulterior
designs. H a ving ,as they hopcd,obtained possession
of the public mind, so far as the inferior and more
numerous orders were concerned, they were to
proceed in the next place to propose to put a stop
to the Pressing' of Seamen, and to make the
Sailors join with the lower classes in wild cla-
mours for Liberty. Thus having, as they ex-
pected, seasoned the public mind, their nextmea-
sure was, to effect a Reform in Parliament, a
measure which the remains of those Societies
still hold in view', as we have recently seen,
and which the Opposition in Parliament un-
wearily aid. Alter the achievement of these
patriotic measures, the destruction of the Este,
blished Church would, in their opinion, have
been a matter of
,consequent and easy accomplish-
mem. The late Mr. SAMUEL TAYLOA. a most re-
spectable manufacturer of Manchester, was trusted
with all these designs, but partly from his exhor-
tations to those Members or the Societies, who
were misled by visionary notions, but who really
had the welfare of the State in view, partly by
the treachery of some, the terrors of others, end
the timely and vigorous measures of Government,
the schemes were frustrated, and the Reforming
Zealots were scattered and .sunk into stingles's
insignificance.

The efficacy of the Suspension Act being now
confirmed by the rare necessity of its enforcement,
the Party are of course growing impatient under
.
its continuance. We rejoice. in the possible
prospect of their impatience suffering a prolfogil-
though truly we confess oarselvois sasaast
igually impatient to learn the sew arguments
which the tranquillity of the country is 'still -to be
resisted, Their apprehension of rigour, • and
tyranny, and incarceration, having proved itself
wholly groundless, they cannot, with arty great
hope of success, go over again the old rhodomon-
lade. Perhaps they will now contend, that the
continuance of the Suspension is useless, because
it has not emptied the streets and filled the prisons;
and Ministers, perhaps, will be hooked upon this
curious dilemma ; that the power, which was
lately denounced as dangerously severe, is now to
be refused to them as needlessly lenient. Thos,
between the rigour which liar; not been shown,
and the mildness which has, the public safety is
to be neutralized; and all those mischiefs which
the Suspension Act prevented arc to be brought
back upon the country in their toll operation.
It is vexatious too, that Ministers, in proposing
the continuance of this preventive remedy, should
follow the constitutional course by which it was
created. Would the Party he kind enough to de-
velope n mode tvbeteby it can be move constitu-
tionally discussed and effected, we shall thank-
fully attend the instruction. Their dislike, how-
ever, is to the measure itself; and in quarrelling
with that, they will object to tiny means—no
matter how open, how regular, or bow consti-
tutional. The more vehemently, perhaps, for these
uncotntatable chiraeteriStici.

k wilt be somewhat difficult for our Patriots to
verify their prognostications. The speculative
()huger of practical confidence in the Miniitcrs is
now at an end :—it can no longer even sound a
period, or, flourish a peroration. The country
has seen and felt the benefit of that prevention of
crime which is so much. more desirable than its
punishment; Rs combining individual freedom with
general security.

In the embairassment of retracting all their
old Arguments, and of dressing up their new ones
with some small guise of consistency, the Party
may he forgiven the mare-temps which they ran
into about the Committee. One objects to ti►e
measure depending on the Committee's :Report ;
while another insists on its being carried without
their Ranction. But no ►natter. A measure so
extremely inconvenient, which has kept the mis•
ehievolis iiniet hitherto, and threatens to keep

CLer. Stl 0 Rule longer, must be put in—,
ther by old arguments, or by Dew argunteals, of
by no arguments at all.
Respecting, as ne sincerely do, the painfulte.
luctance of Lord CASTLERKAGO in proposing ill,
prolongation of this measure, we think that
