DUTCH PAPERS.

PARIS, NOVEMBER S.

The Saxon Ambassador set off this morning to
meet the King his master, who is expected to arrive
at Fontainbleau to-morrow, or the following day.
His Excellency Marshal the Doke of Ragusa set
olf this day to put himself at the head of his corps,
hich is to occupy Dalmatia and the Illyrian Pro-
♦•inces.

The Journal of Gard contains the following article
from Nismes, dated October 28 :

" The day before yesterday, between ten and eleven
o'clock at night, there was felt in this place a concus-
sion, followed by a very loud and sharp report.—
This was heard t Nice, with an interval of about half
an hour between each report. The cause was at first
thought to be an earthquake ; but as the sound pro-
ceeded from the coast (for it was almost a dead calm,
and the little wind there was came from the S. and
S.W.) and as several French and English vessels had
been seen upon the coast, between Cette and Aigue-
mortes, some persons ascribed this phenomenon to the
explosion of a great quantity of gunpowder. This
conjecture is this day confirmed by intelligence,
that two vessels which had gone ashore near -'Aves-
quieres, had been set on fire and blown up at the time
above mentioned. It is remarkable that the explosion
should have been so distinctly heard at Nismes, con-
sidering that it is ten leagues from the coast. We
are in anxious expectation of the particulars of this
event."

The English papers have published a letter from
Adjutant-General Stewart to the Commandant of the
pth Regiment, in which, by command of Sir Ar-
tl:ur Wellesley, he presents that regiment with a stand
of French colours, said to have been taken by it from
tile French in the battle of Talavera. Upon this let-
ter the Muniteur has the following note :
" Our troops have no colours; they have eagles
only. The regiment from which the colours were
taken is not named. This part of Lord Wellington's
dispatch is false. The pretended spoil made by the
English in the battle of Talavera, is contradicted by
the administration of the park of artillery, so far as
regards the cannon, and with respect to the -eagles,
by the administration of the different corps. This,
therefore, is nothing more than a falsehood invented
to amuse the English people."

Cardinal Fesc/i continues with his Majesty at Fon-
tainbleau. *A Council of Ministers was held there on
the Ist, at which his Majesty presided.
We learn front a Vienna nev spaper, that the Arch-
duke Charles continues to reside at Teschen with his
uncle, Duke Albert, of Saxe Teschen.

A letter from Strasburgh of the 29th ult. says : -•••
a Several squadrons of the 13th and 14th regiments
of dragoons have arrived here. They arc on their
march for the interior of the Empire. We have not
hitherto seen any infantry corps of the French army
in Germany."

General Roy, who organised the different legions
of national Guards at Antwerp, has returned to this
capital.
The peace recently concluded has been announced
in all the principal cities ran the Continent, amidst the
sound of cannon, and every demonstration of gene-
ral rejoicing. At Vienna, Munich, Stutgard, Frank-
loft, Naples, Rome, Florence, Milan, Madrid, &c. as
well as in Paris, illuminations have taken place. An
hundred millions of men have taken part in this ge-
neral festivity, and celebrated it with marks of public
:atisfaction.

The English alone regard it with astonishment and
consternation. They have recourse to calumnies
against th tt Power which they have urged nearly to
the blink of destruction ; and the Ministerial papers
industriously propagate the nation that the hands of
A ustria are tied up ; that the peace is compulsory, and
t =not be of long duration. It will last too long for
;Lem. D. iven out of Austria, as they have been
liven from they will speedily be expelled from
pain as thy have been from Austria. How can the
insurgents, di 1,1,(1 amongst themselves, and beaten
I y a small pat t of the French army at Talavera, make
I cad apint the whole of our force ?
