was most favourable.

was permitted. It was, we are informed, the design
of General ARMSTRONG to leave Paris before the
usual time of the prevalence of the north-westerly
winds; but his application for passports to fulfil his
intention had, upon some 'pretence or other, been
hitherto ineffectual. No American could quit the
limits of Trance, unless he proceeded directly from
thence to America ; and leave was not even granted
to enable him to visit the dependencies of the Empire.
In another column we have given extracts from
Paris papers to the 3d inst. but the accounts brought

It is not without good reason that numbers of young
men (as mentioned in a former STAR) are quitting
Holland and seeking refuge in this country. The
master of a vessel which sailed from the Texel on
Friday, states, that a Conscription, comprehending
all young men from the age of fifteen to eighteen in.
elusive, was ordered, by the French Commander-in-
Chief, to be immediately levied. All the French pri-
vateers had quitted the Texel, and several vessels
have lately arrived in that river without molestation.

Private letters from Buenos Ayres speak of some
unpleasant cccurrences having taken place at Lima,
with which we were before unacquainted. All the
particulars we are as yet in possession of are contain.
ed in the following letter from Buenos Ayres, dated
2d May last :
66 The news from Lima by last post, of the execu-
tion of the principals in the late intended insurrection
of Quito, has ex isperated the Creoles to a violent de-
gree. Among the number executed (in all about
39) are four Marquiss.3 and Counts, eight Clergy,
and fourteen lawyers, and the President, the Marquis
of Selva Alegre, a man of great note, mentioned by
jiumbialt. lam afr Lid they will clearly pay for this

Morlair to the 7th inst. up to which dates nothing
new had appeared in the French papers respecting the
affairs of Spain or Portugal.
The Emperor of AUSTRIA has effected an almost
total change in his Cabinet Council. The alteration

is said to afford great satisfaction. We are not suffi-
ciently acquainted with Austrian politics to decide
upon the merit of this change. Some of the new Mi-

alum are hardly known as statesmen.

A Gentleman who came from Paris in the above

cartel, states, that a rumour of another battle between
the Turks and Russians was mentioned, and certain
regulations were suggested regarding the foreign de-
yartment Holland, but nothing of any public in-
terest was adverted to.
It is generally believed in France, that the meet-
ing of the Diet of Sweden _svas a fruitless ceremony,
NAPOLEON having, it is said, declared that he should
require the feeble hmumbent'of the throne to resign
his sceptre, that the Crown might be placed i .1 the
head of another who would be more disposed to pro-
mote the purposes of France. The name of this ad-
dendum to the Royal fraternity had not been an-
nounced.

The Ktuo came to town yesterday from Windsor,
escorted by a party of light horse. He was received
at the Queen's Palace by the Dukes of YORK and
CAMBRIDOE. At two o'clock his Mantsrr held a

of being presented to his MAJESTY :

that period had reached the western extremity of As- i

town of Castropol. It was' supposed, that his inten-
tion was to occasion the retreat of General Meat from
before Astczga, by 'threatening to intercept his coth-
tnunication with Conutua. It is added, that all per.

Gencl-al Manx still remains before Astotga,ob-
staucting all communication between the town and
the enemy, which is reported to be shGrt of provi-
sions. Several convoys have lately been cat off. On
tie 1;,11 of Ciudad Rodrigo General MAUI issued a
;•:-oc;arnation to his Army, in which he used the fol-
-I,,wir.:; expressions : •
Brave Ciaintrymen and Fellow Soldiers-,-Though
Ciukai Rodrigo has surrendered to the enemy, it has
made a resistance which has gained it a medallion in
the Crown (I Spanish glory, and
,its name shall be
recorded with those of Saragossa.und Gerona. Let us
recompence ourselves for her lot by the fall of the
city of Astcrga, and by the destruction of the hated
enemy of Spaniards and of mankind."
.He then goes on to speak of the courage and disci.
pl:ne of his army, and concludes with these words :
" Let France enjoy her ill-gotten conquests, ob-
tained by the sacrifice and destruction of all right.—

Lord MELVILLE is now on a visit to the Duke of
PORTLAND, at Fullarton House, Ayrshire.
Mr. Rower DUNDAS arrived in town from gent-
land, on Friday, since which he has had several pri-
vate interviews with Mr. PiRCEVAL.
The Cabinet Ministers dined yesterday with Mr. '
Yong, at his house at the Admiralty.
Additional packets are to be established to carry
mails from Falmouth to Surinam, Berbice, and Deme-
rara, and to return by Barbadnes and Martinique. The
Jamaica packets will in future call at Curdco.► on their
outward passage. This new arrangement will re-
quire three new packets to be added to the establish-
ment at Falmouth.
A fire broke out, about ten o'clock on Tuesday
night, at the cnd of Kentish•buildings, near the town-
