We have received Paris Papers of Thursday. from 1

Which we subjoin a few extracts. Little is said of
the proceedings of the Congress, and that little is, we
fear, not very authentic. What degree of credit.

for instance, can we attach to a Journal whiclt

styles itself 'ter

excellence the "Chronicle of the'

Congress," and which gravely informs us that the
King of DENMARK is to exchange that Kingdom fty.
Hanover, and that the Duke of Yoax is to be Viceroy

of Denmark ! •It appears that Lord CASTLZKRAOH is
treated with much more respect at Vienna than
Prince TALLEYRAWN and we thick the inference is
fair that his/woes and anastereciees are more readily
listened to. •

The French Journalists can scarcely conceal their
chagrin at this circumstance. They say that Lord
CAsTLzaencnes personal intimacy with the , Allied
Sovereigns greatly facilitates his views.. This may
be rather unfortunate for French interests, but it is,
perhaps, all the better for those of Europe at large.

BRUSSELS, NOVEMBER 16.

A private letter from Vienna has the following
passige :—" It is very seldom that any thing tran-
spires of the proceedings of the Congress. It is how-
ever affirmed, that certain -pretensions respecting the
Rhine, advanced by M. Tdlleyrand, have been
rejected with so little disguise that he was greatly
affected by it."

It is affirmed that the late King of Saxony win I
pass the rest of his days at Frankfort. He and his
family will enjoy an income of three million:s. of
dollars..
A publication, entitled Counae/a to At Coitgows
Vienna, is prohibited so strictly, that the penalty of
1(X) ducats is decreed even against any person %rip
merely has it in his possession.

PARIS, NOVEMBER 17.

Eight years ago the Duchess of Newcastle and Ge-
neral Craitfurd, her husband, visited Bareges.. This
brave Officer, who was severely wounded, experi-
enced the best elects from these celebrated waters.—
In order to leave a durable mark of his gratitude he
set apart, for the benefit of the poor of the place, an
annual sum of £3U. Bonaparte, in defiance of every
principle, displayed towards these benevolent fo•
reigners the hatred which be bore to their nation,
and made. them wait a long time at St. Lcver•de
Rustan, ere he permitted them .to return to their

country. It was their delight and constant °comae
tion to commemorate their stay in this country by
acts of munificence ; and, on their return, they conti..
nued regularly to remit their allowance to therpoor
of Bareges. This year, on account of political events,
the remittance was retarded, but it has now arrived,
and the amount will be divided among the poor, at
the commencement of the approaching season for.*
Bath.
By letters from Lisbon, we learn, that orders were
published on the 22d of October, annulling the pu-
nishment of exile pronounced against individuals
sent out of the country in 1810 by the police, some
of whom went to England. Hopes are excited that
the amnesty will be extended to those who followed
the army of Massena, not daring to resist the abso-
lute will of Bonaparte. They reckon much on-the
I goodness of the Prince Regent, and the moderation
of Ministers.

CONSTANTINOPLE, OCTOBER 10.

In the night between the 4th and sth instant s
dreadful fire broke out at Pere, in the same quarter
which was destroyed by fire some years ago, and
since rebuilt in the vicinity of the narrow street which
leads to the Hotel of the English Embassy : the fish
and butcher meat markets, the Palace of the Wai-'
!odes, Sec. were once more destroyed. The flames
were so, violent, that the united efforts of all the Mi-
misters, the Capitan Pacha, and of the Grand Seignior
himself, who proceeded to the spot, could not extin-
guish them. The Greek Church, built of stone, and
a private house opposite Galata Seray, at length pat
an end to the desolation. The disaster was followed:
a few days afterwards by three other fires at Constan-
tinople, Tophana, and Pera, but timely auistance
speedily extinguished them.
Some distressing rumours are its circulation here,
in Arabia and Egypt. As far as we know, one m‘O-
lumn of the Caravan, which was performing the pil-
grimage to Mecca, and which was on its way to.
Mossul, was surprised in the environs of that place by
a corps of Wechanites, or Bedouins, who are partisans
of this sect. Every individuard the Carava was
•
stripped to the very shirt.
It is said that there have been troubles in Egypt,.
and even at Cairo, but it is added that they have bees
appeased, although not without the effnsion of blood
—thanks to the 'vigilance of the Caimacan which had
been left there by thepovernor Maimed Aly Pacha.
The inconvenience has thence resulted to the Porte
of retarding the reinforceenents destined for the Pe-
ninsula of Arabia.
In the Arsenal of this capital they are occupied in
eqpipping a frigate for the coast of Africa. keel
of-0 74 gun ship has also been laid within these few
days, and two other ships of war will speedily be built.
