FRENCH PAPERS.

(From the Gazelle de France, dated Monday, Oct. S.)
PARIS, OCT. 7.—Letters from Barcelona, of the
29th September, announce that the King of Spain
arrived at Tarragona on the 28th. The whole popu-

lation went to meet him, and displayed the greatest
enthusiasm. The country people passed the whole
night in the fields in order to see him. The roads
were covered with royalist volunteers,. who were
drawn up on each side where his Majesty passed.

A letter from Vienna informs us that the Infant
Don Miguel will go to. Portugal through Fiance anti
England, and that he is to stop some time at London.
His Grace the Duke of Portland, President of
the Council of his Britannic Majesty, has just arrived
at Paris.

The Journal de Frankfort is mistaken in announc-
ing the death of the Grand Duke of Baden. His
Royal Highness is in good health. •
We have received a letter from Constantinople,
dated Sept. 16 (by the Russian post, and by way of
Bucharest). It contains the following sentences :
" No essential change has taken place since the
31st of August. The negotiations and conferences
of the European Ministers still continue; the fami-
lies of the three Ambassadors have not yet sailed.
" The Russian subjects, having inquired of their

Legation if there was reason: to fear it speedy rup-
ture, received an evasive answer, with the advice to
act with prudence in the management of their
affairs."

General Count Fernig, brother-in-law of General
Count Guillerninot4 his Majesty's Ambassador to the
Ottoman Porte, arrived yesterday, express from
Constantinople.

The ancient Castle of Rosenberg, in the Rhinthal,

which was still an ornament in that delightful
country, fell down, for the most part, on the 23d of
September. The vineyards below have suffered
considerably. We expect further particulars.
Accounts from Berlin of the 29th of September
say—" Lieutenant Wimmer, in the Russian service,
has passed through this city, with dispatches from
London for Petersburgh. M. Theremin, our Consul
at Rio de Janeiro, has also arrived here with the ra-
tification of a Treaty of Commerce between Brazil
and Prussia, giving to the latter the commercial ad-
vantages before obtained by Franca and England,"

The events of Catalonia are covered with a veil
which we can scarcely withdraw. The want of

communication, the character of the insurrectionary
movement, all the circumstances which accompany
it, give room for a thousand different versions which
the liberal journals labour to turn to their own ad-
vantage. To hear some of them, the struggle
has commenced ; the rebels have attacked at all
points the troops of the King; communications
are: every where -intercepted ; in a word, it is doubt-
fill that the Catalan insurgents can be subdued. Ac-
cording to others, an amicable arrangement is on the
point of being concluded, the first article of which is
to be the triumph of the Inquisition and of the prin-
ciples falsely ascribed to the Spanish Government ;
in fine, others say that the King of Spain has re-
turned to Madrid; that his Majesty has no rem-
-

nance to the principles proclaimed by the Rebels of
Catalonia, and that he will satisfy some of their
complaints by an agreement prepared by -General
Romagosa.
All these reports appear to as either false or ex-
aggerated. The letters which we received from
Perpignan, assure us that the affair of Catalonia
draws to an end, whatever be the mode, whether by
an amicable arrangement, or by the forced submis-
sion of the rebels. In the latter case it would be
sufficient to have some corps of the Army of Obser-
vation of Portugal, in order to prepare the triumph
Of the royal authority in a pro Vince, four-fifths of the
population of which have remained faithful. ,
We this instant learn that the 200 rebels whom
General Manso held shut up in a part of Villa
Franca, have been obliged to surrender at dis-
cretion.

P.S. SEVEN 'O'CLOCK IN THE EVENING.—The
report has been spread on 'Change, and appears to
be confirmed this evening in Paris, that the Govern-
ment, which has established posts between Perpig-
nan and Bordeaux, has received from the latter town
by telegraph, information of King Ferdinand's arri-
val at Tarragona. Immediately after his arrival his
Catholic Majesty had published a general amnesty,
without any exception, except that of some old mi-
litary chiefs. This amnesty must have produced the
best effect, since two bands of the insurgents imme-
diately laid down their arms. It is added that in
this band there were some disciplined battalions of
Royalist 'Volunteers.

PERPMNAIsi, SEPT. 30.—The Junta of Manresa
has caused its manifesto, in the shape of a procla-
mation to all Catalonian Royalists, to be printed.
After dwelling upon their grievances, and the mo-
tives which induced the Agraviados to take up arms,
it announces to the Royalist Catalonians, and all
those who have taken ,up arms for the cause they
defend, that King Ferdinand arrives, and that their
Chiefs will represent to him their wishes, or rather
will (nuestras voluntades) ;, that they ask the King's
being restored to the plenitude of his sovereignty ;
tend that things be again placed in the same state
they formerly were in before the revolution. That the
Inquisition be likewise restored, if not, they say we
will again take up arms (Sino tornarenios las arenas.)
This prOclamation has been forwarded to all the
Chiefs commanding the different Royalist Divisions
of the army of the Junta.
We received accounts from Catalonia by sea.

The captain of a vessel which sailed on the 29th
from Vilassard, has brought intelligence that King
Ferdinand had already arrived at Tarragona, and
that he had refused to lodge at the Archiepiscopal
Palace.

Another vessel which left Tarragona with barrels
of ammunition arrived on the 28th at Palamos. The
captain of that vessel, which touched the night be-
fore at Barcelona, has announced that he has learned
in the latter , town, that General Mans° had been
attacked in his passage through Ordal with a co-
lumn of 1,580 men, by a body of rebels; a brisk
fire of musketry, which was heard at a distance, gave
rise to the presumption, that an engagement had
taken place between the rebels and tie Royaftroops.
The same General surprised the rebels on his arri-
val at Villa Franca, and took 200 prisoners from
them. The same captain brought journals from
Barcelona, containing the following intelligence :
" The recruitment of the battalions of the King's
tiliarpshooters is suspended until further orders."

No pilchards have' appeared on the coast:sinee
our last publication ; many of the beans have been laid up
for the season. About 600 hogsheads of fish, taken by
the driving boats of St. Ives, were this week sold at 38s.
6d. per hhd. The holders of sewn-fish ask 70s. a hogs-
head, inclusive of -the bounty, 4s. We learn that 655. a
hogshead have been oftiCred and refused. The quantity of
fish taken at St. Ives is between 1,200 and 1,300 hhds.—

When Churchill finished his Rosciad, he
waited on an eminent bookseller with the copy, but he had
suffered so severely by the publication of poetry, that he
was determined to have nothing more to do with any of
the rhyming sons of Apollo, unless indemnified from sus-
taining any loss. This condition Churchill could not com-
ply with. The bookseller, however, recommended a
worthy young man to him, who bad just ventured his
little fortune in the uncertain sea of ink, and who would
probably run the risk of publication. Churchill waited on
him, and found every thing to his wish. The poem was
printed, advertised, and at the end of five days ten copies
were sold. .Churchill was thunderstruck, and the book-
seller was little less chagriiied. At the end of four days
more he called again, and found that six more copies were
sold ; the poet was almost frantic, and hurried away to a
friend to acquaint him with his hard fate. His friend,
who was intimate with Garrick, posted to him the next
morning, and informed him that a beautiful picture of his
astonishing abilities had just appeared in the Rosciad.
Garrick swallowed the gilded pill, instantly sent for the
poem, read it, and sounded its praises wherever he went.—
