Tuie Frenclh papers of Sunday, vhicil arrived last night, contain no political itntelhgeuice %vi tbt oxtractiii, except, perhajps, the following pais;na,c fromn the A1ulmteieur:- MAhDRID), OCT. 22. The ;uvernivent is miakinlg greet ettortatw aeceleatetheforma- "ion of the Royal Guardi, which was dissolved iCcauSe in the iirst organization there were too mrany officerr antd privates who had servcd in the Old Guard. and were suppose(d to be tainttd with revolu. tionary principles. That vwh-ch has since been organizci now consists * f three re- giments of foot. each of 2,000 men; two regiments of light luorse. 500 meni; two of mounted grenadiers, 800 men; andt one o lancers, 300 men. " The new plan of public instruction, cIraw up by Father M"r. tmnez and his Councillors of Castile, has been approved by his iiJ.a3estv, and is now in the press, so that all the schiools in the kuig- tlom will be opened. " It appears from the lists of the eftective force ot' the Roiyal militia, sent in by the Cuptains-General, that they amount in the vwhole kingdom to 100,000 men well-armued and equipped; anad those who have not yet received their armst or clothing are estimated at an etual number. But, on the other band, our army is very weak. being only eight regiaments in Andalusia. two in Valencia, two in Arragon, two in Valla4olid, and erovincial mili:ia. Theae are the only eorps that are eirective; for though we have many other rrgiments nominally, in different parts of the kingdom, they are but skeletons, and even then not complete in subaltern officers. The permanent commissions in the provinces are not behind that of Mladrid. Scarcely a day passes without tsome report being received of tome condemnations to death or to the galleys. That at Corunna has jast inforned the (Governicnent that it has iinflicted the frst of these penalties on II persons, whom it has condemned for political causes. " The clergy have .succevded in obcadiing the comme0 tLn1 tit(q -,f the punislhment of one of their body, M. Aldana, for having presented the constitution to the King in 1821, whern he returned from the Egcurial to Madrid, after the represpnt tions *vhich hall been made to him to this eff'ect by the municipal body oi the capital M. Aldama will be Lonfined for life in a eonvent." 7.{)VlNJA', lWYEDTjE.sD-4'. ANOJRfAIBE?R 3, 1824.

Yesterday evening, after the service at Albion Chapel, 3Ir. Fletcher addressed his congregation as follows:-Ele had something else to do than to eDrtettain the publir on the subject of himself, and tlley uvould therefore exetuse him, if he abstained from degrading the holy day, andl that acred place, by entering into details which might be called for more seasonably on other occasions. It seemet that those who did not love him very muclh, were determhiedl to publish all they could to his injury; he shoutld therefore he called upon, by and by, to publish all that he could for his benefit. It was his desire, aiid lie believed that he shouldl accetnplish it, to act on the defeinsive. He hopetd that it woould never be his lot to act ou the offeusive-Lo drag ahy personrs into couirts civil or ecclesiastical, He never wotald hive seut a single line to a printing-press, hail he not been Cotrpelled to d(o so by the conduct of others. He entreated his congregatioii to read his Protest and Appcipdix, whichk ontained matters intimately connected with his usefulness in that place. Oui Friday last he received a letter calling upon him to abilicate his pultlit-to give up his chapel and his people. 'Ihat was a hold demnand in- *;eed. To that comliunicatioti he s,ent a rep.y, stating that he would keep his place, his pulpit, andI his chiapel. It was propar that his congregaiion shouldl see those communitea- tiois, and they should accordinelv be laid before them in a day or two. 'He perceivtd that his respected fortner ma- nagers had thouight proper 'o exhibit him who was once tb,ir minister in the pablic papers. He was surprised at the yroceeding, but he felt hirmself called upon to give an auswer to what had'been published, which should be ready in a few days. A stranger tro the real merits of the case antght, on reading the paper which ha(l been published, be taken in thc snare; but he thotught he should be able to convinee a child of twelve years old, that it vas a coin- plnte fallacy, and had no bearing tt all on the question. In conelusion, he observdl that he did ;Jot wiish to obtrutde InlsMlf on tlhe notice of the public, unless when compelledl to dlo so in his own defence.

The Paris papers of WVednesday arrive(d last night. Ve are informed in their private cerrespondence from Madrid, that airests of distinguislied indivitiuals were still going on in that, capital. The most striking character of these ar. rests is the impartiality of their violence aindl injustice, Faaatics and Constitutionalists being alike their objects. Among others, EzRRO, who was Minister of Finance under the mock regency of the )uke of ANGCOULENIE, allil who occUpiedl his post soime tinme after (whlat is called) the KINIG'S liberation, was arrested about the endt of last montlh on his return from Valla(delid, to the great surprise of him- self and his Ultra frienls. Yet we are told that the KING, wlhile he is treating hiis palrtisans in this manniier, is obliged te apply to CIIARwLES X. for a six moniths' protection of Frenlcht troops after the 1st of January, When the term of the rilitary occupation of Spain was to expire. The fol- lowing are extracts:- fFrom the mo,iiteur of Wednesday, OcL 3.-Official Part.] " PARIS, OCT. 12. 4 To-day,before mass,hi raxcellencyViscotuntGOranville, Ambas. sador Extraordinary and Mlinister Plenipotentiary of His Britannic Aiajesty to his Ilajesty the King of the Netherlands, presented to the King, in a private audience, a letter from his Sovereign on the death of Louis XVIII., and on the accessien of his Majesty Charles X. " Baron Uchtritz, Envoy Extraordiiiapy from the King of Saxons, p?csented to the King, in a private audience, his newr credentials, and a letter of congratulation feoni his Sovereign on the accession of his MPajesty Charles X. "A Baron Spitzenburg; First Aide-de-camp to the King of Wur. teml2erg, preeented in like manner a letter from hit Sovereign to hiz blajesty Charles X., to the same effect. "TOULON, OCT. 4.

We hear that Messrs Duperre and Roussii set out this evening forParis. Of all the ves- sels of the squadron, none remain here now,except the Amazon and Justno frigates, the Zebra brig, and the DaurFpl'innoise and the Fau. vecte sloops. " The Venuis, Vestal, Ny,mph, and Themzis, frigates, sailed on the 26th of September. under the command of Captain Cavillier, to take on board troops, to relieve our garrisons in the Antilles. " On the 28th, Admiral Des Rotours sailed with the Trident ship of the line, and the Aviphitrite, Armida, and Hermione, frigates. These four vessels go to Cadiz, as well as the Santi Petri, which sailed this morning. It seems that after stopping a short time at Caadiz, the Santi etri, the Hermniono, antl the Trident, will go to Brest. where they will be dlsmar,tled, and that the Juno will be dis- mantled here."

mkIr. W ILLIAMSX on a former day obtained a rule, calling upon the plaintiff to show cause iVhy a new trial should not talte Place in this case. It was an action for slander. The cause was tried before Mr. Sertgantla osanquet at the last asesAes for Taunton, and a ver- dict was giVen for the plaWiuiff, with 4001. damages. The circum- stances out of which the action rose were these :-The plaintiffsome time since proceeded from London to Bath, and established himself there as a tailor; and by some means or other was enabled to sell his clothes at a cheaper ratt than that usually charged by persons in hbs business. Tqhis gave umbrage io the tailors of Bath, of whom the defendant vras one. The defendant vented his spleen in a very un- Justifiable manner, by saying that the plaintiff was a bankrupt_ that he had compeunded with his creditors for five shillings in the pound-antd that no person who iristed him could e'x- pec.t ever to be paid, &c.; all which tended to injure the plaintiff it his business. It appeared, too, upon the trial, that the defendant had further declared that he and five other persons had agreed to subscribe 1001. each to bear the plaintiff down. The principal ground on which n new trial was demanded was, that the plaintiff's attorney had declared to the defendant, that if he would deliver up the authors of the slsander, he iould pro. ceed against them in pTeference to him. The defendant accordingly gave up the authors, but the plsintiff, notwithstanding, brought the action against the defendant. It was likewise urged that the damages were excessive. This morning MLr. Sergeant PELL appeared to show cause why a new trial should not be granted, and was proceeding in his address to the Court when, Mr. W VILLIAMS stated, that if the Court would be good enough to allow the case to stand over till Atonday, he believed an arrange- ment miOht be effected between the parties. He would write to his client that evening, and should receive his answer on Monday morning. Mr. PELL said that he would advise his client to accept 3001. damages. M1r. Baron GARRow.-And It will not be going too far to add that other persons think that a very reasonable proposal. The case was then ordered to stanl over till Mlonday.

Sir.-Ta your paper of Friday, Aug. 20, under the title of " Police, iatton-garilen-Prohibited goods," NViUia'^s Poole (servant to IUr. Mills) was fined for having in his possession 12 pieces ot Chinese handkerchiefs, 39i. I believe this conviction to be bad; for by the deflinitive Treaty of Peace, with the Republic of France, (Alarch 27, 112), " That from and after this Treaty of Peace, handher_ chiefs of the manufacture of Persia, China, or the Bamt Indier, shall be and are exempt, as being goods prohibited; and that aky person in Great Britain has a right to sell, use, dispose of, or have them in possession, and sh:all not be subject to prosecution fbr the samc."--Vide Williiamzs's Justice, vol. 1, p. 647.
