We continue our extracts from the Paris Papers,
which we noticed yesterday, but they relate entirely
to the domestic occurrences of France. Nothing
almost from the seat of war is suffer to transpire.—
Addresscs conti:me to pour in with assurances of the
loyalty of the French nation, and their determination
to support the glory of the Emperor.

Private accounts from the Coast sufte, that BONA •
PA lIT r had occupied the time between the 10th. and,
14th at Duben, in concentrating his forces. He then
commenced his retreat towards the Rhine, and had
reached Weissenfels, a distance of 70 miles, on the
19th, having fought a sanguinary action every day.
At Wei,senfels he is undeistood to have remained
only 24 hours, and having suffered a dreadful loss in
artillery from, the rapidity of his movement•, he was
compelled to continue his retreat upon Erfurt. Here
he would, in all probability, be stopped again by the
Bavarian army, or at least by the light troops in ad-
vance, for in this direction they moved immediately
after the signature of the Treaty with Austria. The
private advices to which we have just alluded' are
filled with lamentations on the distressed state of pub-
lic credit in France, and her dependencies. No less
than. twelve houses of the first respectability have
lately stopped payment in Holland: Among these
are chi Bankers Cultic, VAN Mwior, TErTERODE,
CHAUSJII and Da Roy.

JAMAICA PAPERS.

JaMaica Papers to the 20th Septeniber arrived this
morning; the following are extracts t

" JAMAICA, AUGUST at.

At length we have received accounts of the
United States frigate Essex, Captain PORTER, which
has been so long considered missing. She anchored'
at Lima on the sth of April, having in charge two
Southseamen, her prizes, and shortly after proceeded
on a cruize off Gallapagos Islands. On the 28th of
April sloe captured the British ships Georgiana.Pirrs;
Policy, BOWMAN ; and the Montezamert BAXTER, on
the 28th of May ; she also made prize of the ships
Atlantic, WYBR ; 'and Greenwich, SHUTTLZWORTR.
" Shortly after, Captain Porter had the Georgiana
fitted out as a vessel of war, with 16 guns, and gave
the command of her to his First Lieutenant, Downs,
when she also captured the following ships :—the
Rose, Munro; Hector, Richards ; and Catherine,
Tolger ; which vessels were all taken to Tambres,
when Captain Porter sent a letter to the Spanish Go-
vernor of Yakile, to know if he would sanction the
prizes being disposed of there, which he refused.

4, The crews of the Hector, Rose, and the Cathe-
rine, were put on board the Rose, and ordered as a
cartel for England, but as the vessel was unable to
perform the voyage, they intended to proceed to'Lima.
The crews of the other vessels were landed on the
coast of Chili. the Essex also fell in with a Spanish
sloop of war, having with her an American South
Seaman, detained for smuggling, which she liberated,
and threw the Spanish vessel's guns overboard.
" We hear that, as soon as Captain Porter makes
prize of any British vessel, he seduces the seamen
from their allegiance, by intoxicating them with spi-
rits, and hoisting a white flag, written on it, ' Sea-
men's Liberty, and Independence';' many of whom,
we lament to say, had entered the American service.
" We are also informed that the Chilians at Val-
davi, Conception, Valperaes, and ,Kokinba, have de-
clared themselves independent, and have opened their
ports to all nations ; and that the Essex frigate re-
ceives supplies from them, and an American Agent
has been appointed to reside at St. laga, an inland
town at one of those places." .
EXTRAODINARY GAZETTE OF CARTHAGENA,

FRIDAY, SLPT. 6.
" IMPOILTANT NEWS.

6, The Government has just received, by an extra-
ordinary courier, the following information relating
to the momentous events—

" VALENCIA FREE, AND FLIGHT OF MONTIVEEDE.

Yequierdo, who, at the head of 1500 men, was
entrusted with the defence of San Carlos, evacuated
it as soon as he saw our troops : being closely pur-
sued by our General, he was completely routed at
Tiraquells, leaving many of his men dead, wounded,
and prisoners. The remainder of Monteverde's forces
disappeared, on being attacked by our cavalry ; and
Bolivar took possession of Valencia on the 2d inst.
intending to proceed on, and enter Caraccas on the
4th or sth.—Monteverde flew for Porto Cabello ; but
he is likely not to go further, because a brisk can-
nonade was heard for two days back there, by which
it is inferred that another action has taken place with
the Patriots.—All the Europeans lately arrived at
Venezuela have been put to the sword by the Union
Army. 6 VILLAVICENIO.P

46 Another
,dispatch from General B3livar, under
date of Valencia, August 2, states his having entered
that city the preceding night without the least oppo-
sition, having been, abandoned by the enemy. He
found there an immense park of artillery, with a great
quantity of ammunition, guns, and muskets."
The Argo, 41 guns, was to sail from Jamaica
for Bermuda, and take charge of a small convoy to
that Island, the day after the Packet (21st Septem-
ber) several vessels were bound to England.

The last accounts from Hamburgh, received via
Heligoland, state, that the French had recently
evinced a determination to hold the former place to
the last extremity. Six hundred head of oxen had
been recently slaughtered, and the meat salted for
the use of the troops during the winter, by order of
DAVOCST.

BREAD.—This day the LORD MAYOR, having
spected the Mealweigher's returns, ordered the price
of Bread to fall Three.pence, or an assize and a half,
the Peck Loaf.—The Quartern Loaf will be Is. 2d.
on Thursday next.
This being All Souls Day, the annual Sermon was
preached at the Parish Church of St. Margaret's,
Westminster, according to the Will of Mrs. JOAN

She lelt to twenty widows of that parish 40s. per

ways an oatmeal pudding ; and 2s. 6d, to the Clerk

Yesterday morning died, in the 76th year of his
age, within the Rules of the King's Bench, the Rev.
altxcls SroNE, some years ago Rector of Cold Nor-
ton, in Essex, and well known for the proceedings
against him in the Ecclesiastical Court, which termi-
nated in his being deprived of his living.
MELANCHOLY ACClDENT.—Saturday evening, the
Rose in June lugger sailed fr'm Dover harbour, with
a crew consisting of eight persons, viz. Captain HAY-
WARD, and Messrs. SMITH, SAMUELSON, GILMAN,
HOILE, TENNY, GRIGGS, and SitamoNns, for the pur-
pose of procuring. herrings, hut in the dreadful storm
which came on, there is too much reason to fear the
whole of these unfortunate men perished? the nets
and boat having been found on the . Break bottom
upwards. What adds to the calamity, six out of the
eight of these poor fellows have left wives to bewail
their untimely end,.
