The Paris Papers, wh ch al rived last night, cont4iii
two articles on the subject /gaol key, one in the form
of a private letter from Constantinople, and the other
a nondescript thing, which appears in the non-official
part of the Moxikser, which, if we did not know the love

of the French for cet, we should regird as ciccisive of

the question betueen.the Puite and the Allies. Though
is appeals from the former, ssh ch is dated the 22J
ult. that the Turkish Government had not then for.
mally rejected the proposals for the pacification of

rove Of bf Its manner v..
it hid they CO ed an entire week, out
iEn 4 y. allowed it for deliberation, withint
ny definitive step; but •as neither the Allied
'done were sent to the Seven Towers, as had been

so confiJently anticipated, nor any whir violence cum•
mined, we suspect there is some. studied exaggeiatiain
in the French account, for the purpose of effect, as we.
said beffitti. Our suspicions are confirmed by the
whole,sOnici the article in the Malheur, which, whilst
it uses a threatening language towards the Porte, still
expresses an opinion that the latter will give way. If
this opinion be worth anything, the menace is unbe-
coming and premature, particularly as nothing bad been
actually done to justify it. It is still our impression that
the Porte will give way, and that the fate of Greece ill
be sealed, without the necessity of adopting more vi-
.grarous measures than those already taken by her

august protectors.
We teceived this tt7r6.7."--; the St. Peteraburgh Journal
to the 81st August. It contains no political news what-
ever ; bat it announces that the Grand Duchess Her.nr,
consort to the Emperor's youngest brother, was happily
delivered of a Princess on the 28th, who has received
the name of CATHERINE. The happy event was an-
nounced to the inhabitants of the capital by a salute of
201 guns from the citadel. The neat morning Te Deust
was performed in the church of the Tauric Palace, in
the presence of the Eurenort, the EMPRESS Morin*,
and the Grand Duke MICHAEL (father of the young
Princess). The Membersof the Council of the Empire,
the Ministers, Generals, the Court, and Foreign Minis-
ters, were also present at the ceremony. In the ereniag
the City was illuminated; and we enter into these par-
ticulars to shew how eager a despotic court is to seize
upon any event, however insignificant, to indulge in its
love of gorgeous pomp and imposing ceremony.
The number of ships, which arrived in the Port of
Riga up to the_23d of August, was 1,157. Sailed
1,006. Though the compliment under each flag is not
given, we do not think we risk much in saying that at
least one half of the number was English; and, we be-
lieve, British shipping bears the same proportion in
every other port of the North of Europe. Yet we are
told that our mercantile navy is on the decline, though
it exceeds that of all the rest of Europe, and has in-
creased fully one-fifth within the last fifteen years, be.
sides being more complete in every respect than it ever
was at any former period.

We also received this morning Hamburgh Papers to
the 15th inst. and Haarigno Cow rank w the same date;
but they are both without interest. In the former, it is
stated, under the head of Stockholm, August Si, that

a the arrival of the news of the death of Mr. CANNING,

an Express was sent off to the Minister of Foreign
Affairs, Count WITTZRATNDT, who was at Finspang,
and who returned immediately. Whatever pain the event
may have caused, it could not produce much alarms
as the same. messenger, that brought the mournful.
news, was also bearer of the intelligence, that there
would be no change in the policy of our Government,
but that it would retain the character at home and
abroad which had been imparted to it by that great and
accomplished statesman. Had the messenger announced
a different result, what an impression would have been
produced! Whereas, as things are, every Court on the
Continent seems as quiet, and as resigned to the dim-
don which Mr. CANNING had given to European poli-
tics, as if he was still alive to superintend his great work.
By a recent decision of the Swedish Government, the
duty of two per cent. on Swedish goods imported,
and of one per cent. on those exported from one port of
the kingdom to another, levied for the benefit of the
town of Gottenburg ever since the year 1700, ceased on
the lit of August last. That on foreign goods imported,
with the exception of those on which it has already
been reduced to one per cuss. is to be continued for a
short time longer. It seems a perfect anomaly to tax
the commerce of a whole country for the benefit of a
single city. The Resolutions of the Norwegian Stor-
thing for the diminution of the salaries of the Governor
of trssr kingdom, and of the Norwegian Minister of
State, residing in Stockholm, have not received the
sanction of the Ktrro, who has reserved to himself to
fix them at the end of the year. Oo occasion of .one of
tke late Resolutions of the Storthing, in which CHAIM'S
JOHN thought he saw a violation of the Royal preroga-
tive, he charged the Norwegian Government to take
care that the limits fixed by the Constitution be ob-
served. We :egret to see this ill blood on both sides,
and fear that the Storthing carry their jealousy too far.
The following is the only article in the Dutch Papers,
worth extracting

BRUSSELS, Suwon. 9.
" Though nothing has yet transpired of tire contents
of the Concordat concluded with the Pope, we may in-
ler from an expression in the official Journal published
h re, that this Convention includes the Northern pro-
vinces as well as the Southern, as we find in it the fol-
lowing phrase: ' Let us congratulate ourselves that the
Catholics of the Northern provinces will cease to be
under Missions and that governed by the same regula-
tion as tbo,e of the South, will make us only one
N itional Church:"
