American stock has advanced during the
last week ab@u pc; cent.
His majesty S store ship Prevoyance, for
Quebec, has arrived at Portsmouth from
Chatham. She takes all descriptions of
naval stores fer the vessels building upon
the lakes.
Yesterday we received the Paris papers
to the 9Th INST. a stalemeut which we
TRANSLATED on Saturday, from "a minor
French Journal. mentioning the appcint-
ment on active service Of thirty Lieuten-
ant-Generals. and OF sixty Major Gene
rails, appears to have excited the serious
attention of the government. which, desi-
rous, no doubt, to counterfeit the influence
Ut such me sure OH the minds oil the AL
lied Powers, has caused the following Of
Ecial contradiction tobe inserted in the Mo-
Diteur:
Ministry IF War.--Itis not ascertain
ed upon what groun Is Lie Journal das De-
bats OF the 9th inst. stated, that thirty LIT.
Generals had been just placed in activity,
in the capacity of I.spector- G cnera,s. x
sixty NJ ,jor-Generals had been aided to
them.
1--WE are enabled to assert that this
statement is as incorrect as that made
on the following day, which designated
several of the 1t. Generals already appoin-
ted"
A curious exhibition was Yesterday made
through thu principal streets OF the me-
tropois, which might correct the vanity
of our Four M Hand Club. The four hor-
ses which were captured with the military
carriage of Bnnaparte, after tire battle of
Waterloo, were driven by one of his coach
men without a carriage or traces. The
man, dressed in the full livery Ct the Ex-
Emperor, was mounted upon the near
horse of the hinder pair, and thus seated he
drove these spirited animals with perfect
facility through the most crowded streets.
The last private accounts from Paris, re-
present the Duchess Of Berri to be in a
state that givesev hope of perpetual
ton of the eller branch Of the race of the
Bourbons.
Two fr,gates have s,iled from Toulon,
for the purpose of joining the French squa-
dron at Tangiers, for the protection, 1t is
said, of the French trade in the Levant
IF the succeeding accounts i'll the Paris pa
pers of the peculiar favnc and respect
shewn to the French nag by the B.rbary
eorsairs were well-founded, it could not
stand in need of additional projections
Some embarri ssment seems to have b. en-
caused in the money>market at Paris, by
the indiscreet communications of a Bank
this county. The Princess Of Wales
continues her extraordinary tour. Her
Royal Highness spent some days at Pera,
suburb of ConstantinopIe. in which the Fo-
reign ambassadors reside, but did not enter
the city. She received superb assnrt-
ment of jewels, SILKS, and pertumery. from
his Mahometan Majesty of Turkey, e.
nough to raise TIC envy Of the proudest r4r
one of a London rout; and valued at As
900 piastres. Her Royal Highness has to
proceed to Jerusalem, and visit the land of
the Canaanites. the Jews & the Saracens,
previous to her r, turning to the picturesque
scenery OF her Italian villa on the l. Ike of
Como Her Royal Highness'S tour has
proved most profitable venture. HIS H.
illness the Pope does not appear as fond of
sending valuable h nors as he does bene-
dictions and indu'gencies out of Italy. He
has elevated five prelates to the rank of
cardinals. Two of them are Romans, the
others natives of Italy. One Of them is M
CIarantotti. Secretary to the Propaganda,
who some time since incurred the indgn.-
ton of the Catholic Board, and was most
Justify abused by that pure independent
body.
We remark with pleasure the accounts
in the Paris papers from different parts of
France, which afford every well grounded
hope Of an abundant and exec lent harvest
A private letter notices rumOr in circula-
ton of the intention Of the government to
proroguc the meeting of the Chambers of
Peers and Deputies. We attach no credit
TO the report. The expedition would but
aggravate the actual crisis Of financial ar
rangement.
