The Paris Papers of Saturday arrived this fore-
noon.—The Mositeur contains a Royal Ordinance,
or Charter, for the establishment of a Society for the
Amelioration of Prisons. The KING has inscribed
his name as Protector, and the Duke of ANGOULZDIE
as Previslcur. The list of Members includes the Duke
de la KOSUSIOUCAULT, Marshal the Duke d'ALatt-
VERA (SUMAS?), the Duke de BROGLIE/I Count CHAP•
TS re, Baron PASQUISR, Count Sr. AULA/AL, M.
Corr*, now in this country, upon an inquiry into
our Judicial System, and several other distinguished
names.—Annexed to the Ordinance, there is a Re-
port from M. de CAZS, the Minister of the Interior,
sheaving the great need there is for such an Institu-
tion, and the good that may be done by it.
The Germanic Diet is said, in a private letter from
Frankfort, to have recently held several private sit-
tings, in which they have deliberated about taking
measures for reforming the Universities of Germany,
the excesses of the youth of which have of late years
assumed so dangerous an aspect. They. are well de-
scribed as a species of Republics, in which the Pro-
fessors form the " Senatus Academicus" but tremble
before the Democracy of the Students, who, by
having it in their power to abandon one University
for another, make it the interest of their masters,
rather to please by acts of indulgence, than to rule
with the severity of wisdom.

The strength of this Democracy resides in Associa-
tions which oblige by the point of honour every
Member to follow the system of conduct adopted by
the Majority. It is in order to put an end to these
Associations, and to give the Professors that power
which they ought to possess, that the Diet have di;
rested their attention to the subject.
The reported death of Chades Sand, the assassin
of KOTZEBUE, is still made a matter of doubt. Let-
ters from Manheim of the Ist April make no mention
of it ; neither do they say that he had been interred.
The report of his death is said to have been spread
with a view of preventing the manoeuvres or any
partizan* he might have. A letter from Manheim
of the 30th says—" Charles Sand still lives, and a
celebrated Physician is arrived to give him his aid ;
he is narrowly watched, and kept under the most
rigorous privacy."
The S apreme Tribunal of Stockholm has confirmed

Er-Directors of the Discount Bank of Malmoe.
They have also hen despoikd of the Orders as
ElLights of Wasa, of whit, Order they were members.

• The following is an extract of a letter from Lima,
dated November 16:—" The Maipo Insurgent pri-
itteer, of 18 guns, and 130 men, has been captured

by the Resolution armed ship, which went from Cal-
lao in pursuit of her. The action, which took place
near •Pisco, lasted five hours, and appears to have
been of a desperate nature. The crew of the priva-
teer were twice repulsed in their attempts to board;
but her bowsprit and fore-mast being shot away, and
the Royalist vessel threatening her with immediate
deitruction if she did not surrender, she struck her

colours. On the side of the Insurgents, there were
twenty killed and thirty wounded; while the loss sus-
tained by the Royalists only amounted to four killed,
and 20 wounded. The Maipo was chiefly manned
by English and Americans, having only fifteen Spa-
niards onboard. The name of the Comtnatider was
Bnovrs—but whether an Englishman or an Ameri-
can, is not stated. Captain SIIIRRIFF and the An-
dromache frigate were at Callao at the date of these',
letters; but nothing is mentioned, nor any allusion
made to the Commercial Treaty said to have been
concluded between him and the VICEROY of PERU•
Four vessels of the convoy from Cadiz, the Atocha,
San Fernando, Santa Maria, and Xaviera, arrived
safe at Callao on the 23d of October : they were
wholly ignorant of the fate of their companions ; they
are said to have landed their troops at Talcahuano.

captain SAnclizz, with 500 troops, and aided by na-
tive lancers to the number of 1500, was thept in poss.'
session of the place. From Lima, the Emerald%
Venganza, Pezuela, and Cleopatra, were preparing
to sail on a cruize. The inhabitants of Lima weds
not without expectiSons of a visit from the Insur-
. gents, but very little apprehension was felt on that
score. The military force is described to be cOnsi-
derable, and id the best order ; the levies would
shortly complete the army to 12,000 men ; of which
number, 7,000 were in full training, and complete
equipment.'
By the Spakith ship Marquess de Romana, which
arrived at Cadiz on the 22d ult. in 120 days from
Lima, advice* are received of the safe arrival there ofl
the reenaindet of the transports which sailed from
Cadia under &cstvoy of the Spanish frigate la Reyna
Maria Isabel,t vis :—N. S. de Ysiar, alias Xaveira,
San'Fernando* alias Principe de Asturias, N. S. de
mocha, alias lliehlha Maria Isabel, and the Santa
Maria, The wive on board had suffered much from
sickness and wagt. The Captain of the Marquess de
Romans states, that nothing was known at Lima when
he left, of the carroying ship or.the missing trans-
ports, accounts of whose capture by the Insurgents
were published a short time since.
