We received yesterday the Paris Papers of
Thursday Lst. Those of Friday, which, were due
this morniug, have not conle to hand. The ac-
count s from time interior of France relate only to
the price of grain, which has again fallen, and to
the cmms►ling harvest; respecting the abundance
of which time most confident anticipations are
made.

The Pienna Court Gantlet of the 14th instant,
contains the detail of the late events in the Brazils ;
but without any other remark, than that the in-
surrection did not appear to have extended beyond
Pernambuco. The Princess Royal of l'ortugul

One of the Journals quotes a letter front
Bayonne,staiing, on the authority of a travelkr
from Poittigal, that the tonspirary discovered at
Lisbon had ramifications in several Provinces of
Portugal, and that there had been some arrests at
Coimbra atter a setionS tumult. It Is added, that
several English Ofticeri, who served in the Portu-
guese army,bad been assasitinited s but this report
there is every reason to believe it tinfootitleil.

The Puerta of the Emperor of Austria has been
published in Gallicia, for the establishment of a
representetive Constitution in Gallicia, Lodomeria,
and the Bukowine. This Constitution is stated to
be the result of an agreement between the Powers
iutercs:cd in the affairs of Poland, and wider
which also, all the States and Provinces hereto-
fore forming part of that Kingdom, are to have
representative Constitutions.

The Diet of Frankfort have unanimously agreed
upon a Resolution declaring the Confederation of
Germany a free and independent Power, having
authority to send to and receive from other States,
Ministers in the usual form ; and by subsequent
artieks it is reiolved to notify to all the Powers of
Europe, and to the United States of America, that
the Diet is constituted as above stated, with the
following form of 'annunciation :—" The Germanic
Confederation, and its name the Minister of Aut.
tile, President of the Diet."

The Amendment made by the House of Com-
mons to the Habeas Corpus Suspension BtH will
be taken into consideration by the House of Lords
this day; and it is expected that the Bill will im-
mediately after receive the Royal Assent by Com-
mission.—The present Suspension Act expires to-
morrow, the Ist of July.

Upon the recent discussion of the Suspension
Bill, certain considerations force themselves
powetfolly on our mind. Its continuance was
proposed by the Ministers to be fixed until six
weeks after the meeting of the next Session. The
opposition required it to be fixed for the first day
of December. And, rather curiously, they urged
for this positive period the very reasons which
justified a contingent limitation. These jealous
protectors of our Constitution forget, in their
watching and warding for the People, 'the at least
eqUal rights of the Sovereign. Constitutionally,
liberty and prerogative are co-ordinate. In sea-
-30118 of tranquillity their balance should be main-
tained ; in seasons of danger it must be reduced,
and the reduction must be on that side whence
the danger arises. Are we endangered now by the
licentiousness of the People, or by the tyranny of
the Crown By the firmer certainly. Two
'branches of the Legislaturchave recogiiiss this
fact. Yet, to disable this popular danger,
our Patriots would limit the regal power !
They desired that the Sovereign should be ob-
liged to do those acts at a particular time which
the law has left in his own will : to accelerate
the Session of Parliament, or to postpone its dis-
solution. Or they would, and perhaps rather,
that the legal restriction upon popular mischief
might have expired, while no power was in ex-
istence which could continue it. And this, no
mutter how essential its continuance to the safety
of the State. Only a small share of 'wisdom is
needed to detect anti to defeat this manoeuvre.
Yet many subordinate experiments were also to
be guarded against. The Suspension was desired
to be us imperfect as the Marriage Act ; whose
efficacy, like a wizard's power, is lust by cross-
ing a stream. And, as love-sick minors may
ruits theniselVes on t'ot lie; side the Tweed, so
desperate demagogues wished to overturn the
State-by passing Berwick bridge. It would have
been wise indeed, to leave one clear spot for the
lever of sedition to be worked upon/Z,---to transfer
the machination from England to Sentient!, until
its completion should be able to destroy both I--
Wheresoever Treason may contrive its mischief,
•thither it most be pursued, and there it must be
extinguished', The Opposition love a dilemma'
clearly.--If many persons had been iiiiprisoned
under the Suspension Act, it Lsoald have been
denounced as cruel : since its operation affected
only afew, it is censured as unnecessary. These
Gentlemen are nut to be pleased anyhow. Or
we would put the dilemma thuS :-;.-The ex;
tent of the Suspension would prove its necessity
while the (infrequency of its exercise has proved
its safety. And as for the precedent whtreof they
are so afraid for other-times and ministers--,sore-
ly the Empire is not to be ruined now for
fear of the remote possibility of future ruin.
The argument lies in a nutshell.--The Suspen-
sion, while limited to particular cases, and con-
fided to particular hands, cannot affect the general
liberty, Where it is not exercised, it will oot be
Mt :—and where it is•exereised, it will be wanted.
Therefore,. we shall rejoice when this salutary
measure 'has received the sanction 9f the two
Houses and to find that it is continued to a time
which will neither- controul the prerogatives of
the Crown, nor render its avowed purpose Una*

SIERRA LEONE, MAY 12.

. Accounts of rather all unpleasant nature have
lust reached us-rrom CaptairrCAMSBELL:, cam-
triandtng the Expedition in the interior : he has
t•
been stopped tame time past, about 200 miles srli
.the river Rio Noonez, by the natives, in copse-
(pence ot, the country he wishes to pass throng')
being at %val., with those he is now with ; be has
lost nearly all cattle, And a great number of
men, and is afraid they will be obliged to return,
HS it is now almost impossible they will be able
to reach any place of shelter before the rainy sea-
son Sets in. lam afraid, also, that all comMuni-
Cation between Captain C. and Sierra Leone is
cut eft by the following circumstance :—Colonel
AllCatrenv, Governor of Sierra Leone, having
received intelligence of two.. vessels, supposed
Aniericans, under Spanish colours, taking in.
slaves; dp the. river Rio Noonez, at the town,
whOse Chief has always been considered as a
staunch friedd of the English and the Abolition,
and the very Maki by whose means all correspond-
ence between-us and the Eapedition has hitherto
been kept up. 11e is a powerful, Chief and a well
informed man, having been educated in Eeglatid,
and, I may say; alWays been in.the Etigliih pay ;
that is, receiving valuable presents from tithe to
time front the Governor. The Colonial brig was
sent to ascertain whether it was so. On liet
rival, finding it was the case, a message was sent
to this Chief, requesting his assistance, if neces-
sary, in capturing these vessels (a brig and
schooner, well manned cod armed), who appa-
rently seemed determined to make 4 desperate
.resistance ; he not only refused, but sent word
to say, that if attacked he would protect them to
the utmost of his power ; notwithstanding they
were attacked the same evening, and carried in
the most gallant manner. On.gaining possession,
the vessels lying nearly alongside the hank of the
river, the Commander of the Colonial brig, find-•
ing himself completely exposed to the liatiVg2,,
who assailed him on all sides with musquetry,
arrows, &c. was obliged, in his own defence, to
turn the guns of the vessels upon them ; the con-
sequence was, that in. the morning the banks of
the river were .covered with dead. The vessels
have since arrived at Sierra Leone. This unfor-
tunate occurrence taking place before the Expe-
dition are out of his territories, 'he no doubt will
revenge himself by annoying them—we are all
afraid so. ..

The Colony of Sierra Leone is improving. Won-
dertnlly ;'dings are seen rising 'in all direc•
dons (thzruks to the indefatigable exertions of the
present Governor) ; but 1 am sorry to add, the
Slave Trade is still carried on all around us as
bad as ever, even worse. We are informed that
the French carry it on openly, both at Senegal
and Gem. Our harbour is crowded with prizes
taken carrying on this horrible traffic : a large
ship arrived a few days back, prize to his Ma-
jesty's ship Cherub, Captain Ftsuca, with 500
slaves on board. The Cherub had also taken
u French schoner, after a sharp contest, in which
she, lost several Officers and men. The schooner
was, I am sorry to state, wrecked on the Island
of Annabona, on her passage to Sierra Leone,
and the whole of the crew, consisting of two Of-
ficers and several seamen and marines of the Che-
rub (besides some prisoners that remained on
board), were poisoned by the Natives.
Three transports arrived at Sierra Leone on the
9th May, and sailed on the 13th, with detach-
ments of the African Corps on board, for the Cape,'
under the agency of Lient. PRITCHARD, R. N.

All communications grotti various parts of the
kingdom concur in giving• the most cheering ex-
pectations of a bountiful 14reest. From the re-
cent iniprovement. in the weather, grain of all de-
scriptions has consequently fallen, in price during
the last week '•. Wheat from 18 tO,2o,lW,llings.---.
We therefore look to the favourable Operation of
comparative plenty and lower prices, to appease
much of the dissatisfaction prevailing in the.coun,
try. With a good season we may expect the same
good effects on the Continent,

Some of the private accounts received from Sp, t,in
state, that the grants finance plan, projected by
.the Minister GattAY, is not to be carried into exe-
cution till January 1818: This delay, it- is' said,
originates in the opposition of the igoblei and
High Churchmen, ,who, will be most affected by
its being put into execution ; and, in the mean
time, it is
.expected that the Minster himself
will lose hi,s place.
