FROM THE PARIS PAPERS.

MADRID, APRIL 17.—The Grand Inquifitor, the
Archbilhop of Sarragoffa, has been exalted to the
dignity of Patriarch of the Indies and of Spain.

Bout°, (IMPARTMENT Or LAIN) MAY I2.—Two
women who arrived at Lyons from St. Lambert
on the 25th April, pallid that night there. On
the following morning they purfued their journey,
over mountains covered with Mow. In confequence
of a thick mill, they could not fee two Reps before
them. After having walked a long way, they per-
ceived they had gone aßray. They wandered for
upwards of three hours, over rocks and brambles.
Having reached the commit of the mountain, they
were defeending to the other fide, which was a ?erica
precipice. Thefe two unfortunate women, who
became entangled among the rocks which overhung
the precipice, were almoll within two yards of W-
I truition, when they halted, either through fatigue,
or a forewarning of their danger, and exclaimed—
„Oh Goo, help, help !" A man of the name of
Claude David Roffct, whl lived at the other fide of
the precipice, cried out to them, "Stir not a Rep, or
you are dead." By a bye-path he loon reached the
top of the rock, and there found the women, fpeech-
left through terror; be inaantly endeavoured to place
one of them out of danger, but as he was affilling
her Ate fainted away. David Itnfret took a (mall bit
of fugar out of a bag which the tad, and introducing
it into her month recovered her. He inilantly pro.
ceeded to help the other woman, but be had fcarcely
advanced three Reps, when the ice which bad been
congaed under his wooden [hoes caufed him to flip ;
he difappeared, and was found dead at the bottom of
the precipice.

HAGOI. May 21.—" By a courier arrived heft
on Monday left, from our Deputation at Paris, we
learn that the long pending negociation is at length
terminated. If our negotiators have not been able to
retain our inderndenee, they have at leaft made the
heft bargain potnble ; we ate, it is Paid, to receive
Prince Louis, not as King but as Captain and Admi-
ral General, Stadtholder, &c their High Mightineffes
to remain on the prefent footing; the iniereil of the
National Debt to be paid as ufual ; the fyllem of
taxation not to be altered ; the religion of the country
not to be changed ; ansi the confiitution to remain
the fame. The prefent etitionary to continue fecond
in command, if it fhall pleafe him, which is not very
likely, he having for fome time pail kept himfelt iR
marching readinefs. In order to humour the Calvinifis,
who had expreffed their apprehenfions thai the Catho-
lics would profit by the propofed political change, the
Bonaparte family being profetred friends of that
Church ! it teems that Prince Louis has graciotdly
promifed the Deputation, that he will caufe his fon
to be educated in the principles of the Proteflant
Religion. Such are the reports here ; while from
France they write, that the Government has axpreffed
its ardent willies to the Deputation at Paris, to fee
the ancient Republican give way to a Monarchical
form of Government. Sooner or later we (hall cer
tainly be king'd. The flocks have rifen about one
per cent. on the report that the National Debt is not
Ito be expunged."

Windfor Terrace was very numerouily etrowded on
Monday evening. in confequence of their Mal ESTI Ls
and the ROYAL FAMILY being prefent.

Yellerday his Royal Hig!ref; the Prince of Wm.'s
honoured his Grace the Duke of Noma& with his
cnmpany tn dinner. The Lord High Chancellor, the
Firtl Lnrd of the Admiralty, the Secretary at War,
the Lnrd Advocate of Scotland, Earls, PERCY and
Cow, se, Lord Fos. ay, and Sir ARTHVII Plouovr,
were alto obferved to be among the company.

On Thurfday, according to notice from the High
Sheriff, a Special County Court was held at the Cattle
of Chefter. for the eleftion of a Member to reprefent
that County in Parliament, in the room of W. Lose.
Tow, Efq. deceafed, when Davies D AAAAA oar, Elq.
was propofed by J,iva THOMAS STANLIIT, Efq. of Al
derley, and feconded by the Rev. Roca& JAcesow,
and unanimoufly eleited.
An exprefs arrived yeflerday at Argyle Houfe,
Avgyle.ftreet, Rating, that the Duke of AtcYLl had
been feized with a paralytic Broke, at his feat, Inve-
rary Cattle, Argylelhire, and was not expedted to re-
cover. His Grace is in his 86th year. Lord Jona
CAMPSIILL, his Grace's fecond fon, and his lady, im-
mediately let off for Scotland.
It is to he hoped that the apprehenfions entertained
for the fafety of St. Helena, are unfounded. The
prudent and cautious meafures adopted for the pro-1
teflion of the Mend by Governor PATON, are the belt
calculated for its fafety : Betides a regularly dad.
plined regiment, there is a large body of militia in the
ifland, formed by almoft the whole of the inhabitants,
who. on the appearance of three, or more (hips, all
repair to their different polls and batteries the oughout
the ifland, and wait the orders of the Governer- The
ifland is fcarcely vulnerable in any. one point, being
protected by i,s high rocks,and many heavy batteries.
No (hips are permitted to come wiltin gun mot after
fun let, nor before fun rife.

The abrifes committed in the WeR Indies, appear
to exceed every thing that was ever Rated in romance.
When the proper time Ihall come for the publication
of are Reports, made to the Treafury by the Corn-
miff-toners fent out tinder the Aft, it will aßonifh the
world thAt the country Ihnuld have In long been kept
in ignorance of the injuries it was fuffering.
They dUcovered that forged bills and receipts for
articles never purchafed, and drawing bills on Go-
vernment, iiidorfed under forged and &lions names,
were common and notorious.

They found a moft Lure colluflon between tbe effi
cers of Government, and the Merchants and Con
traitors, by which the latter were allowed to charge
fibres at a much higher rate than they might have
been obtained for in the market. in one infiance, as
was flatted by Lord HENRY PETTY, it was dircovered
that to cover this iniquity, a bribe of 87,0001. had
been given ; in another, a bribe 0135,0001.
Velfels, houfes, fibres, &c. were ufually hired at
molk extravagant rates, in confequence of fraudulent
contrafts, where others might have been obtained
much cheaper. But worfe than either of thefe ini-
quities, was the diabolical fraud of (offering the
Merchants and Contraftors to furnifh his Mijefty'.
troops with inferior and tad rum, and other articles,
at an extravagant rate, by which the lives of the
troops were endangered, as well as the country de
handed.

And, for the purport of committing tbefe prattices,
all free competition for the fupply of articles was pre.
vented ; and every obllacle was put in the way, even
of the purchafe of bills on the Treafury. They were
dated in one ifland and negotiated in another $ and
they were fold at a much mere advantageous ex-
change, than that at which the Officers debited them-
(elves in their accounts.
The whole of this (Gene will now be developed.

281. Mr. Friary in the Charader of Tyke. 3. Dr
exhibits a very good likenefs
both of the perfon and face of Mr. Emery, in the
principle (cent of " the Scherl of Reform ;" but
why is he reprefented alone ? Mr. De Wilde does not
improve in his management of light and fhadc, nor
in brilliancy of colouring.
egt. Portrait of Mr. and Lady Fleming. J. J. MAW
curate a.—This is a gay picture; the figures are
well di awn, pleafingly grouped, and the colouring is
good throughout..., •
306 Portrait of the late Tippet. Sultan. M. C.
WYAMT.—Whether or
,uot this be a likenefs of the
late Tippoo Saib we cannot fay. In other refpees it
has little to recommend it ass piElure. The general
defign is not emirs, but the execution is cootie, and
the colouring gloomy. ,
. Rilignation.—J. Atcsa —This is a very me-
ritorious prodittlion, confidered merely as a Cody, it
being only a Head, in which the exprtfLon is very
fine ; but it is not highly &tithed.
36r. From 7 hohtfon's Caflle of Indolence.—J. BOTND.
drawing of much fancy, and fume humour;
but very iacorrat in the outline, and badly coloured.
372. 4 reit in the Yland of Kaddra. W. Wsstacc.
—An extremely high•firatlhed drawing, flrongly
masked with the manner of the Artift's brother, who,
wt fhould almoft furpea, had given it here and
(herb it touch of his matletly pencil. But Purely the
funfhine and glootir are MD violently controlled.
AB9. Portrait of 7. P. Curran, hfq. A. Poo s•—
This repreftutation of the celebrated frifh Barriller
exhibits a vety favourable fpecimen of Mr. Pope's
abilities as an Artift. He teems to have greatly im-
proved during his late (bort retirement from the Stage.
248. if Alyn#6 Barbing. Mifs H. A. E. Jacesoa,
H.—Not ropy of the proleflional labours of the pre-
fent Exhibition exceeds this ainateur performance
The figure is correctly drawn ; the limbs, &c. beau
tifully rounded, and the whole management of the
pifture befpeaks a molt attentive obfervance of the
general effeb. of nature.
573. Ulg;:' Lefreta into Hell. H. Crotaouco —A
very voted and spirited defiga from Homer's Odyf-
fey. The figures are well drawl, and the compofi-
tinn of the work is, throughout, claffical. Of the
colouring not much can be laid to its advantage.
494. A raw of College Green, Addis, kc. T. 3.
Roo vat coerce, but not very highly finilhed
view. The pafling figures in the flreet are well
grouped and at ranged, and the difiributions of light
and fhadoW is good, but the colouring is cold and
fpiritlefs.
box, 603, 605, 608, bog. Portraits of the Royal
Princyles. fl• F.oaiDGE......Moft beautiful drawings m
Italian chalk ; the faces highly finned in colours.—
The likeneffes are moreover admirable, and the back
ground of each defign is enriched with emblems, &c.
firougly charaCteriffic of the mental purfuits of thefe
amiable and highly accompli(hed Ladies.
595. Stew in the Honey Moon. S. Dc WILDr.—Mr.
De Wilde has been extremely happy in this pidure in
the likeneffes of Elluton and Mitt Duncan, as the
Duke and Juliana, but lefs fo in repreftnting the
comic features of the late lamented Collins, who is'
feated in the mock chair of justice. The pie-tore more-
over is deficient in relief, the whole effect appears to
have been produced by the colorising of the draperies,
Ste. without any regard ,ocbiaroefirra, an effect which
muff be loft in a print.
597. Portrait of Lord Barham. J. Pocoex.--A
whole length figure of the venerable and a good
likenefs, both of his perion and face. The piCture is
firmly painted and well-caloured. The idea of dif-
' playing the plan of the battle of Trafalgar on the table
is happy.
432. airs Allegorical Figure. M. Banwm.—The idea
of this pifture is liolen from Sir Joshua Reynolds's
beautiful defign in the centre of the ceiling of the Li-
brary of the Academy, but not to be compared with
it either in general execution or colouring : it is, how-
ever, better to follow good example, than go flouts
daring on to the end of life in error.
445. A View of Athens, taken its 1803.-452. A View
f Arcadia, ditto. W. WALitta.—Two extremely well
executed drawings, which have every appearance of
being faithful reprefentations made on the filo from
which each was taken—Athens and Arcadia !—Trno
pa a mutantur.
473. :iamb ileflig the Sons of
.7o.frph. E. BURNS/L.l
•--There is a coolider able portion tit mei it in this plc-
cure, confidered as a compofition, and the manage-
ment of the light and fhadow is commendable, but
the colouring is unplealing. The old man's head is
well defigned, but the faces of the boys are of too
teminioe a chataaer.
463. 11'altham Groff. S. Delon NIONV.—A very
neatly executed drawing of this venerable piece of
Gothic architecture, but it *ants force, both in regard
to depth of fhadow and local colouring.
535. Morning e,mufensents at Brighton. J. Nixon, H.
—A caricature by an amateur of confiderable cele-
brity. The reentry of the drawing is correct, and the
delign altogether extremely fanciful and humorous,
but the figures are ill drawn.
485. The Sibyl ejTering tie Three remaining Books to
Tarquin. J. A. ATKINSON.—This artiit has adopted
in part the manner of Farington, and the piture be
fore us is painted with great torte, but the drawing
of the figures is hard and Riff, and the attitudes are
affected. Asa kind of landfcape the compofitinn is
very well, but it claims no rank as a isillotical
rrn-
