The Paris Papers of Saturday arrived this fore-
noon.4--The Provisional Bureau -of the Chamber of
Deputies had an auditing of the Kum on' Friday
morning, when they presented to his MAJWITY the
list of fire Candidates for the Ace of President.
• The 'Chamber met in the afterridOn of the same
day, when M. Awq&ni the Pre'sidentfrom seniorityA
naliollaiced that he had 'received a letter from the
• Minister of the Interior, enclosing an Ordinance of
the girth, by whith his MiirsaT nominated M.
RAVEZ; who stood at 'the head or Ole list of Candi-
dates, to be President.

M. RAvzz not being present at this Sitting, his
installation into the Chair was deferred till the fol-

lowing day. , --
The Chamber then priteecled to the nomination
of. four Secretaries, when the following Members
were elected :—M M. DE ST. AULAIRM, BOIN, PAIL-
LOT DE LOYNES, andAtrotat (General).
The Chamber of Peers had not, as was expected.
any meeting on Saturday.
The Budget of this year will, it h said, be pre-
sented in different pets, forming so many distinct
projects of Law—such as the Receipt, Expenditure,
and particular Budget of each Minister. This ar-
rangeulent will tend to facilitate the discussion, and
obviate anycomplication of questions which may arise.
The proceedings against the Sieur Cantillon, ac-
cused of having fired a. pistol at the voiture of the
D.:4l:e of WEL Li wrow, and against the Sieur Marinet,
implicated in the same affair, are said to be ap-
proaching a termination. Cantillon underwent, on
Saturday, a second examination before the Judge of
Instruction.

The Florence Gazette contains the following ex-
tract from a. dispatch received from Cairo by his
Eicellency OsstAn Ada, General in the service of
the Viceroy of Egypt :

" CAIRO, OCTOBER 14.

“ In spite of the fall of their capital, and the de-
feat of—their army, the Wachabites had again as:.
sembled in sufficient numbers to tempt of new the
fate of arms. The battle took place in the environs
of the town of Deryoh. The Wachabites fought with
fury, but were forced to yield to the talents of Ibra-
him Pacba, and the disciplined valour of his troops.
The field of battle was covered with their dead. By
a stratagem worthy of a great General, Ibrahim 1
Dacha got possession of the person of Abdallah him-
self, the Prince of the Wachabites, with all his
family, composed of more than forty individuals.
This blew appears for ever to have put an end to
the power of theWachabites. Prince Abdallah, with
the Princes and Princesses of his family, are expect-
ed at Cairo, where grand triumphal fetes are prepar-
ing for their arrival. They will be conveyed to Con-
stantinople trader a good guard.”
The Black Sea has been greatly disturbed by tem-
pests for some time past, which have occasioned a
number of shipwrecks. Among the vessels which
have perished, mention is made of a Russian brig of
war, and a Danish ship, which had on board M.
MOSTEIRO, Portuguese Consul-General at Odessa

who perished with the whole of his family.
The Funds experienced no variation on Friday
but left off at the same price as on Thursday, 63f.60c.

Last night we received German Papers to a late
date. In a Frankfort Journal of the 15th, we find an
article from-Berlin, according to which 'the Coun-
cil of State, to whom the task of flaming a new
system of Government was confided, are said to have
brought their labours to a close ; and the most con-
fident expectations are entertained, that in its general
outline the plan which they have proposel will meet
with the approbation of the majority of the Council.
though discussions may arise, leading Co some al-
terations in its details. It differs from the British
model of Government, in having only one Legislsla.
Live Assembly ; but there may be reasons, of which
we are not at present aware, for giving the preference
in Prussia, to such an arrangement, though not
adapted to the habits nor circumstances of the people
of this country. At all events, this is a minor consi-
deration, compared with the great and invaluable,
privileges which the Prussian nation will obtain un-
der the new system. A military road is, it is said, to
be granted to Prussia for a pecuniary indemnifica-
tion, through the several petty States which se-
parate her old territories from the Grand Duchy
of the Rhine. The squabbles between the Go-
vernments of the petty Cantons of Switzerland
and the Papal Clergy still continue. The Grand
Seignior is said to have given the son of the Ex-
Hospodar of Wallachia assurances of his protection,
notwithstanding his displeasure at the Right of the
father, whose fears he. affects to consider as entirely
unfounded : •

A Much Mail arrived this mornir.g. As might
be expected, it is occupied with details respect-
ing the re-occupation of the frontier fortresses by
the French ; who are also remounting their cavalry,
and adopting other arrangements suitable to the
character of a Military Power. We are sorry to see
this anxiety. Let what name there may be given to
such measures, they are neither more nor less than
priparations for war. We mean not, however, to in-
sinuate that war is at present contemplated, but this
anxiety to be ready for it, actually tends to hasten
its approach; for preparations on one side produce
jealousy and counter preparation on the other: and
the immediate effect is expense, and consequently
complaints of the pressure of taxes. We would be-
lieve that the Monarchs of Europe gave full confi-
dence to the pacific declarations of each other, if we
saw them dismantling, instead of strengthening their
frontier fortresses—disbanding, instead of increasing

their armies. A contrary Conduct outweighs all
their other professions, and proves but too plainly,
that they respectively place no confidence in their
mutual professions of friendship and peace.

BRUSSELS,

We learn from France that the first 20,000 of the
levy wilt be immediately incorporated into the De-
partmental Legions, and the second 20,000 in the
course of January. It is supposed, that. in the course
of next year, 40,000 men more will be added to the
Standing Army. Meantime the voluntary enrol.
ments continue, particularly for the Guard. Within
these few days, several Half-pay Officers belonging
to the Cavalry and Artillery have been placed on
active service, and as soon as the Cadres for the 3d
battalion are formed, it is supposed that a much larger
number will be engaged. The departure of the
foreign troops has had a very favourable effect on
the public mind with respect to the order_ of things
now prevailing in France, and perfect tranquillity
reigns throughout the kingdom.

The Government is zealously engaged in the fur-
ther organization of the Army. Orders have been
given to arm all the fortresses evacuated by the Bri-
tish and Russian troops in the same manner as they
were previous to the occupation: they are already
beginning to place Artillery on the ramparts.
The Minister has also given orders to Make three
Legions quite complete, as the Ordinances prescribe.
The Legion of the North is one of them, which is
the reason of its being aligmented by a company of
At tillery and a company of Erlaireurs a Cheval ;
every Legion will be composed of troops of all arms.
A great number of volunteers are wanted, and great
purchases of horses have been made for the Cavalry.
France endeavours gradually to resume the military
attitude which becomes her as one of the first Euro.-
pean Powers.
The last letters from Paris positively state, that it
is intended to recal many of the persons banished by
the Royal Ordinance ; but the names of those to
whom this favour is intended, are not certainly
known. As soon as they return to France, they
will be released from all surveillance, and allowed
to reside in whatever part of the kingdom they may
think fit.

FRANKFORT. DECEMBER 12.

The accounts from a great number of towns in
Germany speak only of the passage of the troops re-
turning from France. The strictest discipline is
observed.

BRUSSELS, .DBCEDIBER If.

His Majesty has ordered that the bounties for the
encouragement of the whale►fishery shall be conti-
nued from the Ist of January, 1819, to the Ist of
January, 1822—half to be paid on the sailing of the
vessel, to be restored if the conditions are not com-
plied with, the.other half on the return of the vessels.
BERLIN, DECEMBER ig.

The Minister of State, Baron Stein, of Altenstein,
is arrived here from Aix-la-Chapelle; and Prince
Adam, of Wurtemburg, Major-General in the Rus-
sian service, from Stuttgard.

We learn from Hamburgh, that the young men
lately arrested there upon the requisition of the

Spanish Minister, when about- ta embark' for South
America, have been set at liberty. Shortly after-

wards they assembled to the number of 800, and re-
paired to the Danish territory, where they have been
allowed to embark without any molestation.

The New Yotk Papers received yesterday confirm
the intelligence, received by previous arrivals, of the
cession, by the Chickasaws, of all their lands in the
States of Tennesse and Kentucky, for an annuity of
50,000 dollars for fifteen years. The various tracks
of ceded territority contain about 7,000,000 of acres.

We have this morning received Ph iladelphia Pa-
pers to the 17th November, from which we extract
the following articles :

FROM " THE FREEMAN'S JOURNAL" OF NOV. is.

PaNsAcor.a.—We learn from a Gentleman who
lately arrived from Pensacola, (says the Mobile Go-
odie of October 29,) that Captain Baylis, to whom
General Jackson gave the command of a company
of Rangers, has had another brush with the Indians,
and has been wounded and brought to Pensacola,
although his party had the advantage of the Indians.
We learn further, that part of the troops stationed at
Pensacola had commenced their march for Appala-
cEicola, but on the arrival of a messenger, with dis-
patches for the Commander at Pensacola, they were
ordered to return to that place.

BALTIMORE, NOVEMBER 16.

Captain. Willis, of the schooner James, H. M'Cul-
loch, arrived at this port last evening, in 16 days
from Aux Cayes; left at that place the schooner
Venus, Samson, of New York, which had arrived
in seven days from SI. Thomas's. Captain Samton
states, that while in sight, and within four leagues ofl
Aux Cayes, on the 14th October, at ten, A.M. was
boarded by a small sloop, manned with 20 men, all
Blacks except the Captain. They were all armed
with muskets, swords, and pistols. They without any
hesitation boarded, robbed, and plundered the said
schooner of her cargo, also her cabin and ship stores•
—They also commenced to commit the same der e-
dations on the clew, by stripping them of the wear-
ing apparel that they stood in. When Captain Sam-
son remonstrated with them, they drew their poig-
nards and threatened his life. His crew being un•
armed, it was in vain to resist. After detaining the
schooner four hours, they let her to proceed to her
place of destination, where she arrived next morning.

MOBILE, OCTOBER 12.

Prtssacoxa.—The situation of this town is very
singular. By the Articles of Capitulation, the Spa-
nish law is in force. Under the Spanish Government
all sums in'Controversy over 100 dollars, had to be
decided by the Governor. We understand that no
oncsince our troops have taken possession has ewer.
cised the jurisdiction formerly exercised by the Spa."
nich Governor, and that all sums due over 100 dol-
lars by any persons there, cannot now be collected.
It is time that something definitive should be done in
reference to this place.

Extract from a private letter, dated Copenhagen,
the Ist of December:—" Our City still exhibits in
many parts a sorrowful spectacle. The marks of the
English bombardment in 1807, are but too visible,
and the houses then destroyed by the flames have
only been in part rebuilt.
" The expense of buildings, and of all sorts of ma-1
aerials, as well as the general scarcity of money in
'this country, will probably prevent, for years to come,
,the reparation of the injury which our shipping and
marine suffered at that disastrous epoch.
" The King does what he can toefface every trace of
these devastations ; but notwithstanding his laudable
efforts, the inhabitants of Copenhagen can scarcely
move a step in their streets, nor approach the port,
without having occasion to sigh over the melancholy
consequences of the orders given by the English
Ministry to carry off our fleet and bombard our
capital."

Yesterday evening at half-past five o'clock, the
Patxcle ItEcrxr arrived at Carlton House from
Brighton.

There is no truth in the assertion, put forth in a
Manchester Paper, that SIT CHARLES Woo LESLEY and
Sif FRANCLS BURDETT, had agreed to become bail
rfor Drummond, Baguley, and Johnson, confined in'
I Chester Castle, for Sedition ; the subscription that
was raised at the Liverpool Dinner, though it will
afford considerable relief to these men and their fa-
milies, was by no means sufficient to procure their
release ; nor is there any probability of their being
liberated before the day of trial.

The fog was again ancommotly intense in and
round the Metropolis this morning. In the White-
chapebroad, several carts from Essex, coming to
market, were overturned : one of these, bringing mis-
tletoe, icc. to town, was met near Stratford by a post-
chaise and pair, the pole of which run into the cart-
horse's chest sad hurt it so much, that the poor
animal died in about half an hour afterwards.

Letters have been received from Mr. BEVAN and
Mr. JoEss, the Missionaries to Madagascar, dated at
Port Louis, Isle of France, July 9th, 1818, where they
arrived' on the Sd of that month. His Excellency
Governor HALL received them very courteously, but
discouraged their proceeding to Madagascar at pre-
sent, chiefly on account of the. Slave-trade, in which
almost all the Europeans there engage, notwithstand-
ing the treaty entered into with the King of POA. So
little is that treaty regarded, that since the date of it
1,700 Slaves have been imported into the Mauritius, &c,
