Paris Papers to the 26th inst. have arrived, from
which we have given ample extracts in another part
cl our Paper. The most important intelligence these
papers contain, relates to the recent operations of the
French armies in Spain. The colouring given to
these details is, as usual, highly favourable to their
own Generals : indeed, they abound in falsehoods, as
our readers will easily perceive from a slight recur-
rence to Lord WELLINGTON'S dispatches on the same
subject. With the exception of the relief of Ciudad
Rodrigo, they have accomplished none of the objecta
which the-'Pompously set out with announcing. Bo-
staPARTZ had not returned to Paris on the '2lst inst.
On that clay .he was at Amsterdam, and the Motu-
tear officially announces, at the same time, that the
King of Rome has cut hit firm tooth !
An Anholt Mail arrived last night, and another
this morning. The passengers by the packets which
brought these Mails, persist in repeating the rumours
of war being expected to break out in the Nerd', but
we are strongly inclined to doubt the authenticity of
their information; for our Readers will perceive, by
the extracts which 'we have given from German and
other papers, that all military operations in Prussia
have been suspended.
The Ariholt Mail of this morning brings scarcely
any intelligence, except what relates to the move-
ments of the Turks and Russians. The Turkish
army presents a most formidable front to the enemy,
and ti:e successes of late have been on their side. Ge-
neral Kurusow has arrived at Guirgew to command,
the Russian army, and something decisive was
speedily expected. The Grand Seignior has given
up his intention of visiting is army in person, and re-
mains at Constantinople in ordet to preserve order and
tranquillity. The Grand Vizier who is with the
army speilks confidently of his hopes of success.
The Turkish fleets in the Black Sea are closely
employed in annoying the •Russian trade in' that
quarter. Several valuable ca.tures have been already
made by the former. The Russian flotilla, in the
mean time, is not altogether idle, and we may expect
shortly to hear of some brilliant naval afairs in the
Black Sea.
The Woolwich store-ship has arrived at Ports-
mouth from Malta and Gibraltar. Dispatches have
been received by this conveyance, which are stated
not to be of much importance, the Woolwich having
sailed from Gibraltar soon after the CYANE sloop Of
war. The fever, it is understood, continues its ra- I
yaws at Carthagena, hut has not reached Alicant.—
All vessels, of whatever description, art iving at Gi-
braltar from any port in the Mediterranean, perform
the most rigid crarantine, and continue doing so until
the officers belonging to the Pratique Glace declare
their crews to be healthy.
A letter from an Officer on board the Sceptre, dated
the I Ith instant, says—., We are at present watching
the French fleet in L'Oricnt : their force consists of
two 80-gun ships, two 74.'5, and several frigates. We
got information from a fishing boat, which we cap.'
tured, that they mean to start the first easterly wind.
As the wind now blows from that quarter, we are in
}lowly expectation of their endeavouring to get out."
The Silk Manufacturers waited yesterday-on the
Board of Trade, in support of a petition which had
-been previously presented by the Silk Merchants, for
the grant of licences to import that commodity from
France. It is believed that Ministers will accede to
the proposition ; but it is much doubted if BoNara RTC
will gllon# the export of this commodity. We under-
standahat the East India Company has made arrange-
ments for the purchase of a great quantity of silk;
and that one of the Members of the Direction has re.

reonstrated against the concession, for which the ma.
ntda cm crs and merchants in that article have applie.!.
The At rican Company have received accounts, that
Messrs. Duke, Hollenwigger, Potts. and . Homer,
rho went out in the ship Benjamin, from Liverpool,
r el e tempted by the fineness of the weather, during
the latter part of their voyage along the coast of
Africa, to go out in a boat; but a storm arose, and
upset the boat, and they were twenty-four hours in
their wet clothes before they rejoined the ship : in
consegtusuce of which they contracted diseases, of
which Mr. Duke died on the 17th of June, the day
alter the ship reached Cape Coast, where lie was car-
ried on shore senseless : Mr. Hollenwigger on the
19. th ; and the two other Gentlemen a few days after.
Mn. uke was alive when the letters came away, but
was considered to be in A dangerous state.
A letter from Nancy, of the 27th ult. states, that
" Nicholas Thiery, a farmer, in the commune of
Makelsheim, department of the Lower Rhine, has
been convicted cf carrying on the smuggling trade in
prohibited goods, for a numbea of years past ; and
which was particularly priived by a seizure made in
his house near the Rhine, where 16 bales of muslin
and calicoes of English manufactare were discovered.
114 has been condemned to 10 years hard labour as a
convict, and to be branded on the left shoulder with
the letters V. D. He has also been sentenced to pay
a fine of 50,000 francs to the State ; the goods so
sr ized were confiscated ; and the said N. Tierney
has been, besides, sentenced to pay triple their value,
and all the expences of process."
A custom prevails in some of the departments of
France, of employing.men and women to tread opt
the juice of the grape in large tubs. A Paris Journal
states, that in conseqneoce of t'.is pernicious practice,
96 persons have suddenly died•while thus employed,
many of them in the same tub, the fermentation of
the juice being very actire, from whence the carbonic
gas escaped with fatal enieggy. • ..,,,,l'-, • ..• • : ,• .
