From Paris Papers of Thursday last, and Flemish
Papers to the 19tb instant, which arrived in the course
of yesterday, we have given some extracts in a pre-
ceding part of our Paper.
The Madrtd Journals, it will be observed, now re-
peat very openly and assuredly, the rumour which
has been softie time afloat, of Russia having cove-
nanted to afford assistance to Spain in her protracted
attempt to restore her Colonies to obedience. In
order to ,hew that there is nothing astonishing in such
as arrangement, they remark that as the Insurgents
are strong in light cavalry, and make war in a very
desultory manner, it is natural to suppose that the
Cossacks, accustomed to the same manner of fighting,
and habituated to passing from the frozen regions of
Caucasus to the torrid plains of Persia, would obtain
great advantages over the rebel troops.
But without stopping to shew bow quite as na-
tant it would be to suppose quite the reverse we
any remark, that nobody who looks either at the po-
litical interests or at the geographical position of
Russia, need be at any loss for reasons of a much
weightier description, to convice him that so far from
there being any thing arlosiishiss in the idea of Rus-
sia's interference, it may be considered as an event of
cinsiderable probability.

. The Russians he will find are already no strangers to
America. From Okotsh, on the Siberian coast, in a bay
of the Pacific Ocean, they have, since the year 1813,
descended the American coast, passed the Columbia
river dive hundred miles, and settled in Badoga, at
sat° North, and only thirty miles from the Spasish
Establishment: in Califortiia, where they are not only
trading with great advantage, but are profiting by a
fine climate and fruitful soil to feed their more Nor.
there possessions. At the island of Kodia, they have
a fort so considerable as to be armed with one hut).
dred pieces of cannon. The passage from the North.
West coast of America to the Persian Gulph may be
averaged at between three or four months ; but a ship
leaving Bussorah in April, to profit by the south west
enonsooa, would easily gain the• North-west coast of
America in Arm months.
Considering all these facilities, and the inducements
wising out of this to Russia benefit we are tempted.

to think an Lspedi.ich from that quarter •lit aid of
Old Spain as by no means one of the least probable
of events.

Paris Papers of a day later than the preceding
have arrived to-day, but bring nothing additional of
any interest. French Eve per cents 11th September,
with dividend from '22d September, 1317, 651 r. 83c.

Dutch and Hamburgh Mails have also arrived to-
day, from the papers brought by which we subjoin
the following extracts:

DRESDEN, SEPTEMBER 4.

The General Assembly of the States of Saxony is
summoned fur the 19th of October, and the States
of Lusatia are to be jniaed with them.

BEktNE, AUGUST se.

On the 15th instant there met at Carouge, a com-
pany of persons who, it seems, had still much at-
tachm,rnt to a great personage who retired tome time
since from the great theatre, and pet mitted themselves
vatious improper proceedings and expressions.—
The Gens-d'armes repaired thither in the evening,
and dispersed the assembly, but not without blond-
shed ; five of these riotous persons were wounded
with bayonets, two of them severely; the other three
slightly.—An enquiry is making into the affair, in
order to punish the guilty.
