Paris, nee O.
The ltst rt p•ir,, from Troppau have greatly disap-
rinteil ear I It..s. sho had in their extreme riadunt
damned the re‘ohition of Naples, and hunted down
sod hanged ,L.• ,et,i from one end of Italy to
the other. It is truly laughable to hear them abtts-
int the soirreiL:tis for such a conduct, which they
tall a &too-rails weahning to legitimacy. Nothing,
scrottlimf to th •ir jualzincut, was easier to be done
than to overturn a I:ma/4 of Jaeolpiss, who had re.
Bolted a.zitist their King, and imminently against
th,•ir God : However, the holy allies have thought
etherwise than the Ultra-wise men of Paris; not be-
cause their intentions are better, but because they
know better the real state of things. For whatever
may be said of Hoes from France and England, any
one with a little common sense will perceive, that the
true fact is the fear of meeting in Italy the seine fate
that the French armies met in Spain, viz. a national
war, which might have destroyed 200,000 Austrian
shim in twelve months. But such truths will not I
easily find their way into the brains of our royalist
pure. They are so brave (es all the world knows) that
they can never conceive how the mighty Emperor
could he affraid of attacking Naples. However it
may be, you will imagine what their rage is, in seeing
liberty quietly raising her head in the two Peninsulas,
whilst they are using their utmost efforts to drown her
in the Sore.
If the party who have now la bottle en main were MI
he considered as the French nation, we might indeng
be called a nation of children, if not of monkeys.
They cannot see or hear of any thing that has been
done for these 30 years without busting into a violent
passion ; and I believe they would even give up the
aorernir of their glorious campaigns in Flanders and
Le rendce if they could silence history upon all we
have done without thews. But if on one side they are
demolishing, as fast as they can, those institutions we
have so dearly bought, on the other they neglect no-
thing to cover us with ridicule. You hear of nothing
bat of .4liseionseires, Sensinairee, Comrade, ke.: in a
word, if they do not metamorphose the whole nation
into priests and monks, it is nut their fault. They
are particularly successful on that account in Nor-
mandy. That province has always been fertile in
hypocrisy ; and you have had a sample of it among the
emigrant priests in London, nine-tenths of whom
were Normans.
We now look anxiously to the approaching meet-
ing of the Chanabres, ani I must add, not without
fear t f,,r we may foresee how far these Uultrs-wise
&piles will p if they are oat arcked by the Eng.

Private arlvices from Spain received yesterday
state, that there is some prospect the Decree for the
prohibition of nearly all foreign goals and manufac-
tures being imported into that country will be re-
pealed, in consequent:sof the clamour w►ich has bee•
raised *gaited it by the Spanish merchants.
Letters and papers from the Island of Tobago, of
the 24th of October, state, that the colony was in a
tranquil state; but the late rising of the blacks had
created so much alarm, that the Oovetnor and inhabi-
tants determined to adopt measures to prevent a repeti-
tion; and at a general meeting, it was resolved unani-
iusly, that the streets should be patroled for the pre-
servation of lives and property. Application was also
made to the Oovetuor of Balbadoes for a reinforcement
of troops to quell soy insurrection that might again
thew itself. This was the more necessary, as the
biseks, although subdued furs time, shewed symptoms
of insubordination. Severat hundred troops had ar-
rived at Tobago, from Barbadoes, previously to the de-
parture of the advices.

ACCIDENTS, etc. IN THE FOG.

Yesterday morning about nine o'clock, one of the
densest fogs which has been witnessed since the win-
ter of ISIS, came on in the Metropolis. It appeared
quite suddenly, and lights were immediately procured as
a matter of necessity for the conducting of all kinds of
busincm Among the accidents necessarily occurring
in such a state of confusion, the following may be re-
lied on as authentic :—Lord Liverpool happened to be
paying his respects to the King, and accilientally
dropped the seals of office. His Lordship immediately
commenced a must anxious search for the lost treasure;
but no one helped him in his distress, and the conse-
quence was, that all endeavours to regain his charge
proved fruitless. It is said that the •Right Honourable
and right honoured George Canning was present, and
pretended to assist his Noble Friend to regain posse,-
siou of that which he had lost. It is whispered, how-
ever, that this President of the Board of Control espied
the Seals lying in a dirty corner of the Hall of Stator,
and was sneaking in that direction to procure them tor.
his own benefit, when his Majesty was most graciously
pleased to dismiss both the culprits from his presence.
My Lord Liverpool, it is said, looked " all aflutter.
able things" as he left the palace. When the first
shock was over, his Lordship was heard to declare that
" he didn't much mind it, for there was very little
more to be got by otice—have it who would—he bad
taken care of that." These words were spoken with
a must ludicrous air of peevishness and dejection:—
Canning's impudence preserved for him his usual faceti-
ous and ft ivolous expression of countenance. He assum-
ed the greatest unconcern at what had passed: " For."
said he, " I care not a Ltssost orange who comes In,
for, whatever be their party, I'll be amongst them."
Lord Castlereagh was quite frantic upon receiving the
intelligence, in consequence of basing recently disco-
erred that the immortal Doke is toe great an ass even
Oa be made a responsible dummy. Therefore there
was not the slightest hope of remaining Its ; and his
Lordship's notions, upon the profits of office, no more
tallied with those of his Noble Colleague, than they
did upon the Catholic Question, and many other ques-
tions still more important, during their profitable ad-
ministration. " 1 know," said the Noble Lord, " that
we have brought the Bta.t. to the doorof the slaughter-
house, but we eau sell him for beef yet; and it isn't
the first time that I have dealt in this sort of commo-
dity, as my bargain for his sister will prove to all the
world."
The news of this disaster spread over the town es
rapidly as the fog itself; and either the one or the
other had such an effect spot the Lord Cha
that he went to his Doers wittiest his wig. It is said.,
that Wins ;nails U pretioneas its aoine..wt e
bear the sight of it. A Whig barrister mom 'lanai{
ously circulated a report that his Loreehlp elledet
DOWITILD whether or not be had brought his heed.—
The Vies. Chancellor's face looked particularly fkll of
blood.
We are informed also, that the King became strange-
ly enlightened by the occurrence of this unnsual deck.

confusion was placed in the Royal hands instead of The

There is no account of the arrival at New York of
the Martha, Captain Skitebly, (In which vessel Mr.
Kean took his passage for New York). The Importer,
Captain Lee. had arrived at New York from Liverpool,
is 28 days. it Is probably the arrival of the latter
that gave rise to the report of the arrival of she,
