FRIIMY, NOVELVDER 28. 1817.

The Paris
,Papers of Tuesday last, which were
due this morning, have not come to hand.

Some Atnerican Papers arrived this morning,
but not of so late a date as those received before.
A Boston Paper of the 27th Oct, says, there are
about 30 sad of vessels now fitting out at Salem
for foreign ports, of which nutuber 10 ships and
five brigs are destined to ports beyond the Cape
of Good Hope.

Letters received from St. Thomas's this morn-
ing state, that the ship Two Friends, which bad
been so long in the River with Officers and ammu-
nition on board, had arrived at St. Thomas's, and
taken in a fresh supply of water and provisions,
and sailed again to join Admiral BatoN at Au.
gustura.

so brisk to-day as yesterday. Consols commen-
ced this morning at 8H for the Account, and but
little doing even at that price. The Commis-
sioners were served at 821 for money.

The tribute paid to the memory of the PRIN-
CESS CHARLOTTE by the Court of COMMON COUN-
cu. (see Advertisement in oar first page), while
they adhere to their usual custo,o of forbearing' to
present addresses of condolence on the death of
Members of the Royal Family, is highly credit-
able to their character. At the same time, how-
ever, it may be obserVed, that on an occasion of
so very extraordinary a calamity as that of the
loss of a Princess, possessed of every human vir-
tue, who was so immediately near to the Throne,.
.and whose untimely death has -stopped tlie di-
rect line of succession, such a loss might be
urged as a ground of departure froth the cold
formality of custom. However, we, repeat our
commendation of the GorosoN COtTscit, for hav-
ing so far deviated from the chillness of precedent,
as to pay this well-merited homage to the departed
PONCESS. Nor will we withhold our praise from
the COMMON" COUNCIL for passing a Resolution
of Thanks to the late Loan Havort ; for though
we essentially differ from him in political prin-
ciples and views, we are ready to' give
him due praise for not. suffering politics to
mingle' with his conduct as Chief Magistrate
of the City, in which he conducted him-
self iu a manner that well entitles him to the
ap-
probation of his "fellow-citizen's. We are not
such thick and thin" advocates for Govern-
ment as to refuse well-earned praise to a Public
Character because our political opinions happen
to be of an opposite description.

If we had not so often witnessed the perverse
temper of The Morning Chronicle, we should he
surprised that it has resumed the subject of the
continuance of the Command of the Army in the
hands of the Duke of YonK, on account of the
lamented death of the Princess CHARLOTTE, and
its comparison of the case, when the application of
the Prince of WALES, for a military appointment,
to enable hint to take an active part in ti.e defence
of the country, was refused. It has been clearly
proved in this, and other Papers, that the two
cases arc not parallel. Th e Prince of ‘Vaccs is
the Heir Apparent to the Crown, and it would be
impolitic indeed to let him put his life to lt-azArd, •
a :it.) i;ittelt depends on it. The Duke of
