LONDON: SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1818. THE Paris Papers of Wednesday last arrived yes terday morning. We perceive, among the official notices in the Moniteur, that Baron Vincent. the Austrian Minister, had a private audience of Louis „XVIII. to present to his Majesty a letter from his Sovereign. Of the probable purport of the letter, not a word is mentioned. The following are extracts from these Papers " PARIS, SEPT. 23.—The King has experienced a slight attack of the gout duri:l,.; the last two days. " General Jomini, one of the Emperor of Russia's Aides de-Camp, who has resided in Paris for some time past, has recently sevetr for Aix-la-Chapelle. " The affecting funeral ceremony of the respectable Abbe Gaultier took place yosterday. The deceased was one of the founders and Vice President of the Society of Education in Paris. Several members and patrons o this institution, and the children of the different primary schools, attended the body in procession, first to the church of St. Thonas d'Aquin, and afterwards.to the burial ground of Pere la Chaise, where were .deposited the revered remains of this sincere friend to youth and humanity, regretted by all good peorlc. " The first volume of the History of the Spanish War against Napoleon Buonaparte,' written and pub lished by order of his Catholic Majesty, has recently appeared at Madrid. It is the production of the third section of the Commission of Chief and Officers of all ranks, established at Madrid, under the immediate di rection of his Excellency the Secretary of State, Minis ter of War. " SFPT, 12.—8 y the last letters from Con stantinople, dated the 10th of August, we learn, that all the foreign Nlinisters have addressed a note to the Divan, relative to the persecutions ugaiast Chris tians at Aleppo ; the English Minister,• in particular, evinced Mt. most lantlablc energy on this occasion. His cGikagues court :e.: a ticetiag, in or,:er to vote to him • TIFF:, 'NATIONAL RE STIEIt New Orleans Papers have arrived to the 24th July. —They state that the Indians had recently committed • mans murders on the White inhabitants of the environs of Pensacola: and the alarm was such, that many fa •milies bad deserted their houses. People were even •deaving the town, where provisions had attained a very high price, and no business was doing. According to the lost advises from St. Louis, the Indians who inhabit the banks of the River Platt, and those .resident be tween Missouri and Arkansaws, were at war with each other. A party of tho Pawnees, - eonsisting of 400, had • met a party of Osages in the plains, within 50 or 60 miles of Arkansaws. The advanced guard or the Paw nees made •a • running fight, drawing after them the Osages into an ambuscade, rimmed by the main' body of the Pawnees. The affair is said' to have terminated in the entire defeat 'mid destruction of the Osages, only ore inn escaped out of 48 warriors. "The Pawnees are also at war with- the Spaniards of. Santa Fe. They lately defeated and killed sever Spaniards out of a hunt ing party they met withia the /limits of the United Stat.s. Among the baggage ill the Spaniards, they found, eahcenled, boy, about ten years of age, whom they intended to sacrifice to the Great ftital."—Oac thousand slaves arc stated to have arrived in the haebour of the Havaunah on the Ist ofJune: the cargo of one vessel consisted of 735 Negroes, estimated at 30,000 dollars in cash! Letters from Rio ec Janeiro, tilted the 13th of July, state, that accounts hail been received there, that the markets of Chili -were quite open to the British trade. Some revehrtionary movements arc expected 'at Lima, as soon as the result of the battle of Maipo .shall he known there. Artigns is said not to have been success ful of late in his military enterprises; but he is a man of such activity, and such extraordinary' resources, that he is not unlikely to re-appear shortly in the field, equally to the tuttioyance of the Buenos Ayreans and tile Portuguese. The Royal Treasury at the Rio is ie 1 a very exhausted state, and many demands upon it have beet, rejected from want of funds. • The following letter from Buenos Ayres, dated June 'M, communicates the latest and most important intel ligence from that part of 'South Auzerica: —" For the last three or thur weeks we have bad but little news of any kind, and what there was, not very favourable : yesterday, however, Government received dispatches, which announce that The Patriots in Chili have gained a new victory over a considerable body of Royalists, tJlto had assembled themselves under General St_Jago, and were advancing in aid of those, who, I informed you- some time ago, were utterly defeated at Maipo.— St. Jago's fbrcc execeded 1500 men, but they were ill armed and equipped, and apparently -did not expect that they should be so soon fallen in with and jitter cepted . The army of the Patriots consis ed ofinterior nurabers, - but of superior discipline, and better accou tred : the contest waaloag, considering the feebleness of the enemy ; and to do them justice, it seems they fought bravely : how many were killed and wounded do not know, for the dispatches have not yet been pub lished; but it is said, that our loss is comparatively trifling, and that General St. Jago was taken, in en deavouring to make his escape: and of this we are cer tain, that the victory was on our side. As to the pre sent state of things here, little is to be said, there have ' bean such changes in the management of public affairs, caused by the envy and jealousy of some of the Mem bers of the Government, but none of them of much importance. A little time ago there was a slight pub lic commotion in this place, in consequence of some offence taken by the people, at an order regulating the sale of provisions, 'out it was soon allayed; and the mercy shewn to some of the ringleaders had a good ef fect; only two were executed, and three-flogged. I just hear that the news above given is somewhat more fiwourable than I imagined; but nothing has been yet pubikhed from .autharity. The Government here is using great exertions to support General San Martin, mid are embodyinie with activity a considerable force to aid hint in his further attempts." By a resent regulation in the naval service during peace, all sea-going ships, at home and abroad, arc to be paid offal the eapiration of every third year, thereby discontinuing the services of Commissioned and Warrant Officers then in emplo}m►ent, and giving an opening for others in their respective ranks for the practice of their naval tactics. Ships are relieved as their date of service may expire under this regulation ; they are paid off on their arrival in England, and if, on survey, found fit for service, are re-commissioned, without the trouble and expense of dismantling, and returning their naval stores. There is scarcely a ship of war now at home that has nut undergone this regulation for, the benefit of naval officers, anti tho service at large. A Privy Council was held at Dublin Castle on •Sa ' torday last, when Mr Charles Grant was sworn into of as Chief Secretary for Ireland. The Lord Lieu tenant presided, and after thy! ceremony-was performed, Mr. Grant took his seat at the Board. It is with pieast:re we announce that the late Prince de ...tttle, in remembrance of the hospitable asylum af for.led him during. his lotto absence from Fri occ, t)e rpteathed to the ;•:r;roY Wansteacl, and Door Fr'r. COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL. Thursday a Court of Common Council was held at Guildhall, for the purpose of electing. a Comtnon Pleader (Counsel) for the City, vacant by the death or laze William'AVatscin, - Esq.: and fur the discussiott of other miscellaneous kusinesst. Lord Mayor declared a vacancy in the office or Enord-hearer, by the !decease of the late William Cot. terell, Esq. ; and after scan: discusticri, an especial eOlll-• mittee was appointed to inquire into the nature and duties of that Lace, and to report the same to. the Court. LORD MAYOR'S DAY. Mr. J. Daviee moved the .diseuesion on a report ofa committee, recommending that when the day fur swear ingin the Sheriffs or Lord Mayor should happen to be Sunday, it should be altered to thc..day before or the day Aker. Mr. Dison.saia I.c might be deemed irreligious, but there was more danger, :perhaps, in those who were righteous overmuch ; re.al blinded the understanding. For his own part, he saw nothing impropor iu admi nistering the solemn and religious obiigation of an oath to a magistrate on a Suruluv. Nothing could be a mare impressive lesson to the young and rising gene ration thau to beheld such solemnity, and at the sane time it would stitawate the,. to eorrectue.s of conduct and attention •to their mural mid n.iligions duties, through which alone they. could hope to attain similar honours at the hands af their fellow citizens. Mr. Davies thought it bad been well known that was not to be ridiculed out of his opinions, or out of any thing which he had to propose to that Court. Gentlemen, he hoped, had lived long enough to know that much good bad been done by persons of reli gious sentiments. He maintained that the Sabbath day ought to be kept holy. and he would ask if a reli gious observance of it was consistent with the great and tumultuous procession usual on the swearing in of every Lord Mayor. The appointment of the Sabbath day for that purpose would have been purely ta...cilyntal, and not at all in the contemplation of thus who framed the act, that it should be 4so employed. To the simple swearing in of the Lord Mayor he would nut object ; but who recollected its ever taking place without the procession being attended by disorderly persons ? He hoped that the Court would take care that the Lord Mayor shotild be sworn in on some other day than Sunday, and that they would not sutkr religion to be wolfed at. Mr. Dixon said, the • Judges thought no harm in dining together on the first Sunday of Trinity Term. For his part, he would rather have the diniug portion of the civic ceremonies put ore from Sunday, and he hoped that future Lord Mayors and Sheriffi would take care to postpone ibeir entertainments from Sunday till some other day in the week. Mr. Alderman Goolbehere said, that magistrates al luded to were obliged to serve one year, according to law ; and if they were sworn in on Saturday or Moo day, they . would serve either a day more or a day h.ta; than the complete year Btmides, before they could make any alteration in these mutters, they must have an act of the legislature. He had attended both the ceremony and the entertainment given afterwards on many occasions, and never witneastat any disorder, but much of good fellowship, peace, • and. harmony. Alderman Weidman said, that in delivering an opi nion respecting a question on eating and drinking, no man could be more at a loss than he was, inasmuch as he had boon but a short time in a !situation from which he could derive much information on those topics which flirnished standing jests upon the Corporative. He cared as little about those meetings as any man, but he could not agree with the recommendation the Committee, which assumed that the Lord Mayor, Judges, and other grave personages, could not meet to swear in Sheriffs without commit ing some cxce:s This practice %% as instituted in tinter quite us religioua as the present, and had never been complained of till now. " The Court ought not to pass a vote of censurc on itself, by showing to the Corporation that it could nut met without launching into excesses. Mr. Dixon then said, that, in order that this ques tion might die a natural death, he moved that the report should lie on the table, which was carried in the af firmative. COMMON PLEADER. Mr: Dixon said, that before they proceeded to the election of a common pleader, he wished to point out to the Court a difficulty into which they mignt get if a sufficiont number of eamlidates were not tinind quali fied, so as to give the Court an opportunity of selection in its eiteice of aTerson to fill this important °glee. Mr. Brown said he had a petition to pr,:sent from • a 'Barrister who was not a freeman toerefize moved, that he should be admitted a canilida:e on an under , stamling that, if chosen, he should take out hislreederrn within one month from the date of the election . -Aliicrwan Waithman thought the Court•right not to be swap ,1 ou. biassed by attending to the consitkra- Lion of one particular rase. Mr. 1):Non 14,1 i t, that it' the camlidates had been aware that it was 11.-otiitelv ir.:ceary that they*lriuld de freemen Before proccjding to tlte elc,;tian, Lltly would .irc macre.: Clem:A:Ms cligibla.
