The Paris Papers rf Saturday arrived this forenoon.
The Duke of Ricnautu had his audience of leave
on Friday, and was to depart fur Aix-la-Chapelle on
the evening of the same day.
The bulletins issued by the physicians in attendance
on the Duchess of Baany, represent the progress of
her Royal flightless towards recovery, as natural and
regular.
The University of Berlin, after the manner of that
of Gottingen, and most .of the other German schools
of learning, has become of late the scene of much
disgraceful party contention, which has led to seve-
ral fatal duels. A student of theology has been, ba-
nished to Griefswalde, fbr applying the argumengum
baculinum t six of his fellows, who had been making
game of him. He was escorted out of Berlin by the
great body of the students, with all the honours of
a triumph.

According to an article in the Augsburg.): Gazotie,

it appears that on the recent occasion of the new
King of SWEDEN'S visit to his Norwegian dominions
-a proposition had been made in the Diet to go in a
body and
.nieet his Majesty on this frontiers, but that
'it was rejected by 67 voices to 5. It is further stated,
.that some propositions had been made to the Diet by
the Swedish Goverament, for a change in some ar-
ticles of the Norwegian Constitution, which were
also decidedly rejected by a large majority ; and
that two State Counsellors, holding portefeuilles,
have narrowly escaped being impeached, one of them
only by the casting vote of the President in his fa-
vour. It would seem from these measures that the
People of Norway, however they may be disposed to
submit constitutionally to their new Sovereign, are
not impressed with very much 'devotion either to his
person or government. As a sort of set off, however,
to these accounts, we are informed at the same time
that Denmark, which should feel most interested in
any inclination to defection among the Norwegians,

meditates a closer alliance with the reigning Family

of Sweden. and that King CHAamis JOHN and the
•PRINCE ROYAL are about to take a journey to
Copenhagen.
.. The Emperor ALEXANDER has ordered a Journal,
published in his dominions, by the Counsellor of

-State JAZENKO. to be suppressed, for containing,
'.among other reprehensible articlei, a defence of per-1
ional servitude, which it. has been the great object of
the EMPEROR to abolish. The motive is certainly
amiable ; but not sufficient to reconcile us to conduct
which• of itself is weak in the extreme. The truth is
never more certainly elicited than by the-conflict of
opposing opinions; and the EMPEROR could net have
paid a worse tribute to the force of the noble prin-
ciple of human liberty, which he advocates, than to
suppose that it could run any danger from the seve-
• test scrutiny to which it can possibly be subjected.
Is.there nobody in Russia who could shew by some-,
thing more rational than an Imperial Edict, that
Counsellor of State JAZENKO was talking nonsense?
The EDIPEROR ought to have recollected, that next
to liberty of person, there is no right so sacred as
that of liberty of opinion.

The articles which we yesterday laid before our

Refiders from the Madrid Gazette, seem evidently to
' have been written for the meridian of Spain only. In
every other part of Europe the real state of the con-
test between FERDINAND and the South Americans
. has been made too well known, by the great inter-
course which the war has opened up between all the
Maritime Powers and the South American ports, for
such statements to produce much impression. Spain
continues absolutely ignorant of the real state of
South America, and the sacrifices which all classes
are willing to make for the consolidation of their
liberty. We shall at present only quote two instances
from the Buenos Ayres Papers before us, which,
whilst they evince the tone of feeling that prevails in
the country, are extremely honourable to the parties
•to whom they refer.
When the combined Patriotic Army was in daily
expectation of being attacked by the Royalists in Chili,
and the public Treasury exhausted by preparations
of defence, the whole cf the secular and regular
Clergy, the various Corporate Bodies, and richest
individuals of Santiago met together, and agreed to
form a depot of all the silver plate, and valuable or-1
naments they respectively possessed for their personal
use, and a Committee was named to present the same
•,
to Government, with an appropriate Address. The
• Goyeninient accepted the same as a loan, and as
• property which, in the hands of Commissioners, might
be pledged. as a security for advances of money, but
not alienated, as the same Would be returned go the
respective owners as soon as the revenue of the State
would allow. In the mean time, to record such a
patriotic act, the following inscription was engraved
on the Pyramids which exist in the eastern and wes
tern points forming the two•entrances from the sea
and land side into the capital:

It its well known fact, that ClimertVSAN MA Rttti
itefusid to accept eitlsee additidnal rank or any ph--
lion& eecompence, after the two brilliant victories
gained at Chacabiico and Maipo. On the first occa-
sion, the Municipality of Santiago sent him a present
of 20,000 dollars, which he returned, saying, that he
was satisfied with having done his duty. His example
has been followed by the other Chief Officers, as ap-
pears by the following correspondence :

Chili being grateful for the distinguished services yeti have
rendered in favour of freedom, I have been induced to remu-
nerate them in part by the assignment contained in the annexed
Decree, under the impression that if, owing to the arrears of the
public funds, the same is not in any way commensurate with
your merit, or to the extent the Government could have wished,
you may at the same time receive It as a small demonstration of
its gratitude and esteem. (Signed)

Santiago, May 2, 1818. • Dame n° O'llicorn.
Decreed in favour of General nar.r..tars, a pension of 3,000
dollars per ann. which shall be allowed him by the public trea-
sury from the 6th inst. &c. (Signed) O'llsoonna
&avow, Sec.

General BALCARIE returned for answer, that

could in no way accept the testimony of regard offered
to him by the Chili Government, and he requested to
be allowed to decline the acceptance of any pension
or personal reward whatever. We might add, what
has Spain to expect as long as South America pos. '
sesses men of this class ?

Letters from Candy of the 15th of April have been
received, which, we are sorry to state, represent the
health of the troops in a less favourable light than
former accounts. The cases in the hospital, which
were only eight, had risen within a few days to 200.,
The rebellion still continues, and the motions of the
insurgents are such as to keep the troops continually
lon the alert, which proves very exhausting. bo de-
termined are the rebels in their harassing warfare,
that our military never can promise themselves secu-
rity from their attacks, in which they are much as-
sisted by the woody face of the country, which ena•
bles them to approach our troops, simultaneously on
all sides, without being discovered till made known
by their attacks. They are also exceedingly subtle in
contriving means to lead our troops into the snares
laid for them. For example, on one occasion they
set fire to the country residence of an Adigarirightly
judging that the troops would fly to the spot to en-
deavour to extinguish the flames: the finesse took,
and the soldiers soon found themselves fired upon
from the woods on all sides. Such is the opinion en-
tertained of their address in seizing opportunities for
mischief, that even the sick in our army hospital, re-
collecting the fate of Major DA VT'S men, keep their
arms beside them, constantly loaded.

By letters from Grenada of the SI st July, we learn
that the European residents had not been so healthy
as could be wished. The fever of the climate had
been very prevalent, and in many cases had proved
fatal. A few days before the accounts came away
they had been visited with a pretty severe shock of
an earthquake, attended with dreadful thunder; but
happily no mischief had occurred.

The Bon Accord, Which arrived at Aberdeen on'
the 17th instant, from Davis Straits, with about SOO
tons of oil, left the ice IS days before, and has
brought dispatches for the Admiralty from the Dis-•
covery ships, which she fell in with a short time pre-
vious to her departure, and consequently brings the
latest intelligence of them.

Extract of a letter from the Agents to Lloyds at
Cadiz, dated the Ist September, 1818:

" A severe gale from the East was experienced here oo the
gBth ultimo, which lasted the whole of that night and the greater
part of the next day. The following vessels sustained damage :

" The Alexander, Ga►xan, from Liverpool to Messina, which
had sprung a leak and put in here, must discharge her cargo
and repair.

" The Kitty, DenoAx, of Waterford, drove on shore. and
lost an anchor and cable.

" The Samuel, Ls Lacnivs, of Guernsey, lost an anchor and
cable.

4. The lusolante, alias la Pena, of Malta, Lartoscra Master,
driven on shore, and knocked her keel cif, and expected to go
to pieces.
41 The Spanish brigs Sta. Jose, alias Esperansa, and Nuevo
Felepeno. were driven on shore, and went to pieces; and soave
other vessels lost anchors and cables."

We are without any letters from Lancashire this
morning, nor, indeed, did we expect any by the Sun-
day Mail from that quarter ; for, notwithstanding the
restless state in which that district has so long been,
riot and disorder on the Sabbath has formed no fea-1
ture in the proceedings of the discontented workmen.
We learn, however, by letters from Bristol, that the
journeymen Carpenters in that city and neighbour-
hood have struck for an increase of wages. In the
year 1816, when there was a comparative decrease in
the demand for labour in that line, their wages were
reduced six-pence a-day, which they now demand
to be restored to them. No serious consequences are
apprehended from this dispute, between the men and
their employers.

Government last week contracted for the supply of
20,000 tierces of beef and pork, the whole one year's
consumption for 21,000 seamen.,
Saturday, Mr. O'Mitaton, late Doctor to %Ns.'
rAttalt, had an interview with Six GEonoa Co x:
BMW, at the Admiralty.
