The Prince de Talleyrand passed on the 18th
through Bruges, on his return to liis estate at
Valcuciy,

The king of Prussia arrived the IGth of the
month at Cassel. His Majesty alighted at M. de
his Minister at the Court of Hesse
Cassel., The Prince Royal arrived tl►ere the night
of the IG►h, and alighted at an inn.

The Infant of Spain, Don Francis de Paule, ar-
rived the 18th of this month at Frankfort, under
the name of the Count ne Mongolia. His Royal
flightless goes to Vicuna, where he proposes to
pass the winter.

We read in the Journal of Frankfort, of the
39th, the following news, dated Turin the 70
September

;‘ The Portuguese squadron since its departure
from Leghorn has experienced violent tempests
which have iiveded it navigation. It suffered so
much that it was obliged to put into Cagliari,
where the Ps incess Royal of Portugal bas disem-
barked. The provisions having been in part con-
sumed, it will be necessary to send for more from
Genoa and Leghorn."

PARIS, SEPT. 25.—Tuesday the King received
the Ambassadors and foreign .11inisters.,
Between the llth .and the 20th instant there
entt red Boulogne Irons England. 16 packet boats,
with 159 passengers, horses, carriages, and bag.;
gage ; and 19 packet boats quitted the port witb
234 pAssengers..
Yesterday tbe•King held a Council of Ministers,
which sat Irons one o'clock till six.
Private letters from Rhodes, of the 15th instant,
state, that it was supposed Madame Manson would
be prosecuted as a false oil/less.

•
DRESDEN, SEPT. 13.—An erroneous 'report has
been circulated in the German Journals, that the
Emperor of Russia had invited our King. to make
a new exchange of possessions with Prussia. No
demand of that description has been made. Our
relations with Russia are becoming more intimate,
which will be in many respects advantageous to-us.
It is understood that the claims which Saxony
has upon Prussia amount to 18,000,000 rix
These eldinis are acknowledged to be correct by,
the Court of Berlin. They arose chiefly in 1805
and 1806, when several Prussian corps d'armte
sere stationed in Saxony.
The harvest in Saxony has been very abundant.
The latest letters from Warsaw, which are of
the sth instant, state that the Grand Duke Con-
stantine had arrived there two days before from
Petersburgh, after reviewing the Russian division

We received yesterday the Paris Papers of

Wednesday and Thursday last. "Those of Friday,
which were due this morning, have not come to
hind, and we arc therefore unacquainted with the
final result of the elections in the capital. The
Sectional Assemblies met again on Tuesday, when
it was found, on the scrutiny, that only M.M.
BENJAMIN DELESSERT and ROY had an absolute
majority. They were therefore, in addition to
LAFITTE, declared duly elected, making thus
three Deputies, and leaving fire more to be elected.
The Sectional Assemblies were to meet the third

time on Thursday, when, according to the provi-
sions of the Election Law applicable to"this case,

tire remaining five Deputies were to be chosen by
a simple majority) and selected out of the ten
• Candidates who, on•the second scrutiny; had the
highest numbers. These ten Candidates, out of
whom the
,five Deputies must be chosen,. were,
M.M. CASIMIR PERRIER, BELLART,MGIbIEET
DIISI-01S/NS, MANUEL, GourT, the Baron PAS-.
CWIER, BENJAMIN CONSTANT, BRETON, LA..
FAYETTE, and ULMER. Amongst these there -is
only one Royalist, who is the last on the list of
ten, and appears to have very little chance. Of
the remaining nine, four are Ministerialists, and
the other five formerly adherents of BUONAPARTE,
now called Liberals, or Independents ; and of the
three elected, one is a Arinisterialist and the other
two of this- newly-thristined party of Liberals.
It Will be seen from these data, how weak the
influence of the Government is in the capital.—
BELLART, after two scrutinies, had been unable
to secure his return, though he will, no doubt,
be ultimately elected; and the Baron PASCLUIER,
the Minister of Justice, was so low i) the list,
that the chances were against his return. On the
other side there seems reason to hope, that LA-,
FAYETTE had no prospect of being elected. The
departmental reuuns which are given theseJour-

nals are chiefly re-elections, and there does not
appear to have been any contest.
The Portuguese' squadron, with the Princess
Royal of PORTUGAL on hoard, bad met With much
tempestuous weather in the Mediterralle 4 n, and
had been compelled in consequence to t into 1t
Cagliari, where the Princess disembarked.
The report of a tumult on the 7th inst. at Berlin
is not at all mentioned in these Papers.

According to an article from Dresden, tine rela-
tions between Saxony and Russia are becoming
more intimate. The Emperor ALEXANDER, it is
now said, in contradiction to preceding accounts,
is expected at Warsaw about the end of November.

%Ve were favoured tl►ib morning with a Letter
from Lisbon, of which the following is an Ex-

tract :--

" LISBON, SEPT. 6.—An extraordinary Session
of the Reiacao, the Principal Criminal Tribunal,
was held on the 4th instant, at which it is said
the Conspirators were brought up to receive their
sentences. Eighteen are reported to have been
acquitted, and several condemned. The latter,
however, are allowed by the Laws five days, to
spew cause why their Sentence should not be car-
ried into effect."

This morning we received an important com-
munication from St. Thomas's, brought by the
Leeward Island 14,1ai1. The Letters from St.
Thomas's are dated the , 17th August, and give
the full particulars of the success of the Patriots.
The following is an extract of one of the latest :

" The whole of the Spanish Province of Guay-
ana is taken by the Independents ; the Royalists
evacuated, on the 3d of August, the Old Town of
Guayana or Angustura, to which place theVl;ad
retired alter they had evacuated the New Town.
On the 18th 41y, they were obliged to aban-
don most of their property ; and four vessels,
laden with valuables to an immense amount,
got on shore in the Oronoko, and were taken
possession of by Admiral Batorr. A part of the
Emigrants hatt arrived at Martinique ; 'among
them was the Bishop. The Governor of the Pro-
vince escaped to Grenada. No official account of
the transaction had been received at St. Thornas'S
on the 17th ; but not the least doubt was enter-
tained of the truth of the above."

It is strange to find The Morning Chronicle con-
demning the French Noblesse and. higher 'oriters.
of France, for deserting their country during- the
reign of the Bloody wretches who had usurped
the supreme Power, and were sacrificing every per-
son.. suspected of being attached to the former' Go-
vernment. As those wretches murdered their vir-
tuous and unoffending King, %%hat could the.
Noblemen, &c. expect but the saute fate ?' Oue
might suppose that the Conductor of The Chro-
nicle had never react the history of the French Re-
volution, or that he looked with calm indifference
on all its horrors. We advise him to read-the
Defence of the Emigrants, by M. LALLY TOLLEN-
DAL, a work which fully justified a departure of
all the dignified characters frOm_FEance., at that
execrable period, as they could not have mitigated

the fate of their unfortunate Monarch; and-A
only have aggravated
,his misery,, if it could Ros-
sibly have admitted.of an increase, by. the knovvr,
ledge that all the loyal; the virtuous, the learned,
and the great, in his kingdom,- were. docinied to
•
the same calamitous encl.

INTRILIGENCR FROM INDIA.--The Oxford OA.

she left on the.4th of May, mid St. Helena:in ihe
beginning of August. .I'he letters by -bcy.state:i
that India was in 'a -complete state-of

Bombay in a few days after the Oxford left, 'and
the Mary shortly afterwards, for the same place.
BRIGIITOW, SEPT. 25.—1 t is 3tiIIMAROWII when
the PRINCE REGENT returns- to the Pavilion, but
rumour states, at the commencement of the next
month.

The demands of the Spanith Independents on
our trade are as brisk as ever. Within the last
ten days upwards of 3,000 stand of arms, with a
proportionate quantity of infantry and cavalry ap-
pointments, have been shipped. The various ar-
ticles are minutely inspected by the agents for the
Independents, and are in general of the best de-
scription of materials, and well got up.—(Morn-
ing Post.)

The Duke of GLOUCESTER, after his visit to
Guernsey, sailed for Jersey, where he was receiv-
ed with appropriate, honours. He received an
address from the States, and attended divine ser-
vice at the French church, to the disappointment'
of a great number of the inhabitants, who Hocked
to the English church- with the hope of seeing his
Royal Highness there He remained three days
on the island, and then departed for Weymouth.

SHIP NEWS.

SHIPWRECK.

FERRY SlbE, CARMARTHEN, SEPT. 26, 4 P
" J am sorry to inform you, that at about four
miles distant, a brig with yellow sides, and about
200 tons burthen, has gut on a point of sand.
Her masts are gone overboard, and she must he
total loss, as the wind is strong from the S.W.
with a heavy sea. A boat is observed full of
men, going into Kidwelly, but whether it-is the
crew of the vessel, or sonic men intending to go
to her assistance, we are unable to ascertain.
" Seven o'Clock, P.M.---The tide is now on the
turn, not a vestige of the vessel is to be seen ;
she totally disappeared about an hour ago and
our opinion is, that the Captain is a stranger to

our coast."

from St. Vincent's, started her anchors by a sudden
shift of the wind at W. and (hilted from the
Sound very close to the rocks i❑ MOunt- Batten
Bay, but by the assistance of the Master Pilot
and Agent to Lloyd's boat, the vessel was got
out of the bay, and by carrying a' heavy press of
canvass,' weathered the Cobbler Rocks and got
safe into Cat Water:
