At an early hour yesterday morning, Captain
BRINE, of the MOSQUITO sloop of war, arrived from'
Portsmouth at Downing-street, with dispatches from
St. Helena, of so late a date as the 29th of September ;
and in a few hours afterwards Captain KENNEDY, of
the army, also arrived with another set of dispatches,
from Ca:cutta and St. Helena.

Earl BATHURST being at his scat near Putney,
Captain 'BRINE proceeded thither, with the dispatcfies
of which he was the bearer, and immedi.ttely after
their delivery, his Lordship came to town, and sum-
moned a meeting of the Cabinet Council, which met
at ten o'clock, and was attended by Lords LIVER-
Pont, Surmount, and MELVILLE. The Council
lasted four hours. Several persons in the different
departments were sent for ; and a good deal of
bustle was observable during the day about the
Public Offices.

Various rumours got immediately afloat in conse-
quence of these arrivals, and the stir which they ap-
pear to have occasioned in the Government Depart-
ments, with respect to the intelligence which they
have brought. According to one report, BONAPARTE.
was dead—to others, only very ill—and to a third,
he had escaped from the island in the disguise of a
cook, on board of an American vessel!
The inquiries we have made, enable us to assure
the Public, that, in as far as these reports go, they
are all equally unfounded. At the time the Mos-
QUITO lift St. Helena BONAPARTE was still a priso-
ner, and is good healr.h. We understand, however,
that the dispatches of Sir HUDSON LOWE do contain
circumstances of very considerable importance with
respect to that Personage; and such as fully to jus-
tify the prompt attention which Ministers have paid
to them. What these circumstances are has not yet dis-
tinctly transpired ; but some clue has been afforded to
them by a Second Edition of the Portsmouth Paper
which was received in town this morning, and which
contains the following account of the result of en-
quiries which were made on board the MOSQUITO,
after the lapse of twenty hours from her arrival. dur-
ing which all communication with her was inter-
' d c Icd

" ARRIVAL OP TILE MOSQUITO SLOOP OF WAR, FROM
ST. HELENA.
" Sunday afternoon, halt-past three o'clock.

" Communication has just been allowed with the
" above vessel. BONAPARTE was well, and in safe
" custody. It is understood that the dispatches Cap-.
" fain BRINE took with him yesterday, relate to a
" plot, which was near upon being carried into effect,
" and which had for its object the release of BONA-
" PA RTE.—Some persons residing in England are the
" principal,>."
The latest accounts from St. Helena, previous to
those which Captain 13ttiNt has brought, were of
the 18th of September, a letter of which date states,
" NA POI. EON is never to be seen, and the respecta-
bility of some of his attendants is much on the de-
cline, BrarnAsn.particularly. A house is begun for
the ei-levant Emperor, close to Longwood, and the
anxiety of the Governor to have it cotul•leted induces
him to ride daily to the spot, and in less than a year
I think, he will have no came to complain of his
dwelling."

" CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.

" The report current in the City is, tl•at the 3los-
Qt:tro has brought intelligence of a revolt having
taken place among the troops at St. Helena, in favour
of BONAPAhTE, in consequence of which he had been
hurried by Sir HUDJON Lowa on board the 31os-
uutro, and sent to this country."
Nothing, we imagine, can be more unlikely than
either of these events. The characteristic honour of
British troops forbids our entertaining for a moment,
any suspicion of their fidelity, even under circum-
,
stances of the greatest possible temptation; and it is,
idle to suppose, that had the Governor deemed it
necessary to transfer BONAPARTE on board ship, he
would have trusted se important a personage to be
conveyed to England in a single sloop of war.

The Paris Papers of Thursday have arrived since
our last. The following are Extracts:

vms, NOVEMBER 5.

Yesterday, tL•e King presided at the Council of
:Ministers.

Yesterday being the day of St. Charles, the patron
of Monsteur, the Officer:, of the National Guard, the
Royal Guard, and of the other military corps com-
posing the garrison of Paris, were presented to his
Royal Highness by their respective Commanders.--
The Prince received the Officers with the greatest
affability, and observed to those of the National
Guard, that he would never forget the proofs of at.
tacbment which had been giten to Lim by the Na-,

tional Guard of Park. The Officers afterwards pail
their respects to the Duke and Duchess of Berry.

We are assured that the Chambers will be stun-
moned for the 30th of this month.

Inconsiderate speculators, making the public credit
I the foundation of their jobbing, have, by a game be-
yond the'bounds of their faculties, produced an em-,
barrassment on the Stock Exchange of Paris, which
in its result will only compromise themselves, tut
which must in the mean time also create alarm among
those who may have looked for other causes in the
fluctuations than those arising out of such specula-
tions, calculated besides even on the success obtained
at Aix-la-Chapelle. The face and nature of things
has happily arrested the evil, which was factitious, as
were the operations which led to it, and which rested
only on hopes, and a sort of enthusiasm which often
injures the transactions of business, but which is
never suited to give success to financial affairs.—
It is not, however, sufficient to put a stop to the evil,
it must be repaired. Every thing gives reason to hope
that if this be not already done, it is about to take
place, and that the funds are about to resume their
level. One circumstance is calculated to give this
assurance, namely, that amidst all the fluctuations of
the stocks, the Treasury bonds have constantly been
sought after, at the discount of 5 per cent. per ann.

•
The Duchess of Devonshire arrived at Paris op
Tuesday.—The English Government has, in concert
with the Holy See, adopted measures for providing
for the wants of its Catholic subjects beyond the Cape
of Good Hope.

Mr. Edward Beda Slater, a benedictine of the
English congregation, is consecrated Bishop of Ituspa,
in partibus infidelium, and has received from the Pro-
paganda, spiritual powers for St. Helena, the Cape
of Good Hope, Madagascar, New Holland; &c. This
Prelate stopped some time at Paris, on his way from
Rome to London. He set out on the `ltd of October
for the latter capital, whence he will proceed to his

estination.

Two colleges of Jesuits have already been opened
in the States of Sardinia. One of these is at Genoa.
The college at Turin was to have been opened on the
Ist of the present month.
The Swedish Diet resolved, in its last sitting, that
the peasants and agricultural labourers vho shall
cause four of their children to be vaccinated, shall
enjoy a diminution of taxes for four years.
French Five per Cents. Wednesday, 68 1. 23 c.
Extract of a letter from one of thy principal Ban-
kers in Paris, to a mercantile house in London, re-
lating to the French hinds:

" PAnts, Novinsaza 3.

" Our musket to-day has proved a very unfortunate one for
those speculators will, not possessing the necessary funds for
taking the Stock they had purchaacd.have been compelled richer

to sell at a great less, or to pay a heavy continuation. &fore
three o'clock the current price was 71 1. 25 C. both for money
and for the settling; but after that time it gradually declined to
67 f. 75 c. for the settling, and 71 1. for the end of November,
consequently the continuation fur a short period amounted to
Sf. 25 c. The Aliniater of Finance being informed of this si-
' tuation of affairs, commissioned a broker to lend money on a
continuidon of GO centimes, on the account of the Treasury,
only as a measure of securityi assuming the price of the mac at
63, a circumstance which had the effect of lowering the conti-
nuation fur a short time, and of raising the funds to 70 for the
settling. This price, however, did not long sustain itself, fur
they left off at 68 1. 50 c. for the settling, and 70 for the end of
November."

We have received to-day Papers from Handuirgh
to the 3d, and from Brussels to the tth instant. The
following are extracts :
