NOV. 17. which I shall defend from all attacks, of whatever kind, I know that I am beloved by them, and and in my heart the as surance that this consolation will never be denied to me." This speech made an impression on thel whole assembly• *chick cannot be truly described; and, no doubt, it will pro duce a like effect on all the Frensi who read it. __ _ _ The acclamations and applanses, which respect could not repress, sometimes interrupted the King. The speech was followed by reiterated cries of Vire le Roil Vivent les Bour bons! Afterwards the Chancellor. having received the orders of the King, announced that lie was about to proceed to receive the oaths of the Deputies composing the new fifth, and of those who had been elected in time department where the depu tations were incomplete. M. Laine, Minister of State, for the Interior, read the for. muta of the oath as follows : " I swear to to be faithful to the King to obey the Charter and the lAws of the kingdom, and to conduct myself in all suspects as belongs to a good and loyal Deputy.'' All the Deputies present answered in his place standing, and with his hand raised," I swear." The oath finished, the Chancellor, by order from his Ma jesty, declared the Session of the Chantier of Veers and De puties opened for the year 1817: and that they should ble on Saturday the Bth in the usual place of their sittings, to commence the course of their labours. iiis Majesty then came down from the throne, and quitted the Hall, amidst the acclamations with which he had been received. The train put itself in motion in the sanie order, and a fresh discharge of artillery announced his re-entrance into the Castle. The Prevotal Court of the Rhone finished, on the 3d inst., the trial of the 28 individuals suspecteil of a conspiracy at Lyons. One of the prisoners named Vcrnay has been con demned to death; the Court recommended him to the King's clemency. l3arbier, Vulonzan, and Bitternay, have been set at liberty under the surveillance of the High Police for 10 years. Mayer, Gugnere, and Granger, were condemned to two years imprisonment, a tine of 300 francs, and five years surveillance. Corisdat to three year.; imprisonment, a tine of 500 francs, &c. Marquat, Gervais, Peraud, and Coindre, to five years imprisonment, a fine of 1000 francs, and 10 years surveillance. The rest , including: Madame Lavalette, and Joannon, have been acqui . .ted. . _ - . - [The Gazrite de France, however, says that Madame La valette and the others were condemned to Ave years imprison ment.] In the district of Avalon in France, a young girl, seventeen years of age, was carried off on the oth of la,t month by se. veral wolves. Some persons, assembled by the cr ies of the unfortunate girl, quickly went in pursuit of them, and had the good fortune to come up with them and make them aban don their prey. On the same day, and in the same phe e, a child of seven years was also carried off, and some remains of the dead body were found at a short distance. We have learned that in the space of a fortnight. twelve of these few. eious animals have been destroyed by the inhabitants of the country by ineaus of poknit and pat tial ()awes, in the places where they had exercised their greatest ravages. SPAIN. TRANSTATIOV UP A LETTED DATTD CADIZ, OCT. 20. "The saki, which governs the politics of the English journal, the ' Morning Chronicle,' on the subject of Spanish American affairs, seems to us equally incongruous and in compat aside with those principles of liberty and independ ence' which it profisses to admire, while it is ever ready to attack the slightest deviation from the most simple maxims of national decorum, or the dignity of Governments. It Is evident that the overstrained emphasis, which all evolution ists actually confer on the misapplied terms, ' liberty:lnd in• dependence,' often occasions the inconsistencies in which they insult e themselves. It is impossible that ally Govern ment, which is nut independent in its own interior and to. reign relations, can render a nation so ; nor can the degrada tion, slavery, or subjection of Gus ninents constitute the happiness of the people. The' Morning Chronicle' has main tained a doctrine, that the • Spanish Americans have a tight to emancipate themselves.' It has advised the British nation to assist this emancipation, and has treated any interference of the British Ministers to impede the revolution of the Spa nish colonies as criminal. In the Spanish eovereinent it must be considered equally wise and neoessary, under exist ing eircninstaiires, to have solicited the interference of Great Ilr;taill. The disappointment which the court of Spain met, is its appeal to the Court of St. James's, naturally led to the measure if seeking assistance (lent Russia, as a powerful em pire, capable of bringing -this important object to a speedy and final termination. These politic proceedings, so hostile to the views and wishes orate Morning Chronicle,' has creat ed fresh cavils and egregious errors in the heated and wan dering imagination of its editor, whose political optics seem to discover a confederacy between Spain and Russia to over throw the British nation I With what abinirdies does the • Chronicle abound. One might imagine that a Russian force,: panted to the 'Minister of Ferdinand VII. was destined to' Wolin', and to circumscribe the British Empire within such. limits as Buonaparte proposed, by his Continental system, could we rely upon the discernment, the judgment, or the intelligence of the ' Morning Chronicle,* From such autho rity we learn, that the Spanish Minister has bartered the is land of Minorca for an honorary distinction; and the Califor nias fur a riband ! ! The character of' this Minister, to whoms the pages of the • Chronicle' seem to ascribe the mostimpar-k donable weakness is well known in Spain, where he has given. the most incontrovertible proofs, that he is not ambitious of any honour, favour, or distinction, derogatory to the inde pendence, credit, and welfare of his country, or the dignity of his sovereign. To the Editor of the' Chronicle, it appears necessary' that a change of system in the Court of Spain should procure for the Spanish Minister the honours which the au. gust Sovereign of Russia has conferred upon him! But no such alteration was, iii fact, requisite, an intimate union hav ing previously existed between Russia and Spain, which re cent circumstances have (doubtless) rendered more conspicu ous and more solid. it is now understood, that our Sovereign has fully inahitaiiied his own and the nation's dignity ; that his Majesty has acceded to the grand compact of the Con gress at Vienna, and to the Holy alliance. It is also known, that the great Powers of Europe have agreed to oppose those usurpations meditated against one part of his Majesty's vast dominions and we may boldly and correctly declare, that our King has appeared, in the great political world, with the lustre and dignity which becomes the sceptre with which Divine ProriJenee has blessed him. 'flue factious have been repressed, and the peace of his people preserved, by measures equally tit in and benignant. The proinoteis of anarchy may cony tto enjoy an mill intro! apotheosis in the pages of the' Chronicle,' althongli deprived of the power to interrupt the harmony of the nation. Our beloved Mo- THE NATIONAL RgOISTEit: ouch has confirmed a system of revenue, which meets and merits the blessings of his subjects, while it annihilates the hopes ?I,lacobins, who only triumph to public distress and hnam caul perplexity. By the wise and beneficent'decrees which his Majesty has established, the °patent island of Cuba will be regenerated; and we owe our gratitude and blessings to his Majesty for having given to Spain a Queen, who is real ornament to his throne, and a treasure to his kingdom. On the virtues of her Majesty, all moral Spaniards dwell with pride and satisfaction ; and triumph in the birth of an infant, whose prospect of future glory as a Sovereign is the present glory of his country. Is it unreasonable or unnatural that the actions and the circumstances of the Spanish Court should beget the friendship of its Alliesslud the attachment of good people ? This foreign friendship, idd these domestic com forts, excite the enmity of the Chronicle' editor, who, (io his melancholy foresight, and political 'jaindice) is eternally ex claiming against the existing connexion between Russia and Spain, and forcing upon his readers his own sublime doctrine, that England should monopolize the friendship or guardian ship of Spain, and prescribe such limits to our territory, o u r • commerce. our power, and our freedem, as would produce the abscission of Spanish America from the sovereignty of Spain!' Blind, indeed, must that reader be, who dues nut perceive the real object of the' Morning Chronicle.' Its aim is to encourage the revolution of South America, to foment discord among the people of Spain, to disunite those powers which have engaged and are anxious to maintain the peace of the world, and to mislead the opinions of the English, that party spirit may obstruct the views of the British Cabinet, which must, naturally, be favourable to the cause of his Ca tholic Majesty, and inimical to a restless and inflammatory spirit # rebellion, too likely to threaten the flame emanci pation of the remaining Banish colonies, should success attend the efforts of those Englishmen who now lend their aid to the insurgents of Spanish America. In Spoilt, and throughout the Continent of Europe, we feel disposed to consider the Morning Chronicle' as the Archiinage, or the Chief Magi. clan of Discord, under whose fintering wings Revehoi )))) isis may long enjoy the solace of pity and unfruitful encourage ment, without any of Ilse substanttal advantages of success." KINGDOM (W HAYTI. The Austrian Observer gives the following details on the political state of this new empire, on the authority of a Ger man who has lately visited the island :—" Christophe, alias -King Henry, begins to feel the approach of age. His son Victor, who takes the title of Prince Royal, only resembles him in his worse points; he possesses his ferocity and gross. nest of manners, without any of his talents for command. It is believed that he will have considerable difficulty in main taining his ground after his father's death. As little are any of the other members of Christophe's family distinguished for their talents ; but among his Ministers there are some who have all the qualities for ambitions enterprise, and and ap pat ently all the desire to help themselves if they cau. The Duke of Marmalade, Grand Master of the Corenionies, and the favourite of Christopher Cou n t Lemonade, Seer elary of State for Foreien Affairs; Count Chocolate, who has the di. rection of the Department of Public Instruction, are all well informed and artful men, the last espeeially, who is well versed both in English and French literature. The personage, how ever, of great importance iu the event of any revolnuon, is Count Evidail, Minister of War, a man not more remarkable for his physical powers than fur a daring energy of soul, but withal biota] and ferocious. He is the idol of the army, over which ills is very great." The following particulars respecting the present Rulers of of St. Domingo arc extracted *out a New Fork paper : " POIIT.AU-PKINCE, July 2S.

The city, formerly Cape Francois, rellE4ll/6 its the Revolution left it, mostly in ruins. The harbour is good, but rather difficulty of access. The Emperor has all inuucnse thrtification on a mountain, '2O miles in the interior, on which some pieces of cannon are mounted. This he intends for his retreat in case of invasion or civil war. He has schools es tablished throughout his dominions. One here, on the Lair casterian principle. has 150 scholars,chielly the sous of black noblemen and officers. It avears to be his wish to enlighten his subjects as much as possible, but I believe him to be one of the most despotic Princes of the age. Every person is the servant of the Emperor and lie calls on them as circumstances may require. Prince John, brother of the Emperor, died about a mouth ago. He lay in state 2t days. During this time they fired a gun every half hour, for which his wile,paid four dollars per lb. for powder." RIOT AT Aaiun TON.—Wednesday week being the triniversary of the Gunpowder flnt, a number of fa rsons, chiefly boys, it , sembled on the Steyne at the twilight, let oft squibs. Feria:nth crackers, txc. until about 9 o'clock, when a huge blazing tar-barrel Made its ap pearance on the Steyne, where it was rolled about in awful grandeur. The police already on the alert to repress the.e indiscretions, marked the tar-barrel for their prey. A severe conteit now ensued. The Guy Faux men strove hard, but were.at length driven fmm their post; the nu-barrel was captured, and its proud flames extin guished. A moment of irritation now sucreetleil ; the mob, de prived of their fun, were bent on mischief; they attacked the Hitrh Constable's house and himself with stones. Ili; assailants and his alarm increasing, several companies of the :stet regiment of ni zilleers, with fixed bayonets, marched to the Steyne, and lined its different avenues. The Riot Act was read by Scrjeant Run ralf nington. About thisrime soya tubs being let off near the sol diery, an attenipt was made to reliend the offenders : in this effort one of the soldiers accidents y thurat his baron et into the body of Mr. Bowles, a headborough, who lingered in the utmost agony till Thursday evening, when he died, leaving a pregnant wife and three infant children to lament his untimely dissolution. This was not the only calamity of the evening; Slaughter and Burt, two of the patrol, were so wounded, with stones thrown at them by the mob, that they were obliged to be carried home, where they now lie dangerously ill. A woman, also, was wounded in die head with slugs fired from a pistol. The disturbances lasted till a late hour in the night, and the military did not return to their barracks until after , three o'clock on Thursday morning. In Cie course of the day, the prisoners taken in the *flirty, and immured in the black-hole during the preceding night, were brought before the Sitting Magistrates at the Town-hall, and dealt with according to their apparent guilt or , innocence.

CARILIBOO. [FROM • 841151.01, PAPER.] This gay deceiver, befoie she left lit itol, evinced much ap parent contrition for the unnierous pr anks she had played ID that neighbourhood; and her crocodile tears induced some kind-hearted persons to supply her with the pecuniary means of proceeding to America, %%here, in the obscurity of swim holiest alid creditable employment, it was liolked she nt 4 clit escape trout the tedium she had so justly incorrect by her ini positioas. These hopes have been woefully disappointed.— She reardied Philadelphia on the I ith of September, and on the Lille, only four days after her arrival, we find her an nouncing a concert—" a Carraboo concert," as it is called irt the Ameriean papers. Of this exhibition, a Philadelphia pater gives the following account :—" Toe room was spleu didly illinniusted, the 'music good, and the vocal perforrieu a exerted themselves in a IllaninT which gave general satisfac tion. In part the first, the celebrated %tics Carraboo made her appearance, dressed in the co•taaie lit Javasti. and sap_ pouted by two gentlemen tidier's! She was reeeised will general burst of applause, and her appearance anti manners silenced those insinnatians which have been so iiidostrionsly circulated to injure an innocent and minffending female. A paper was handed to her, in which she w rate a letter in the language which pearled the Universities of Ovar:l and Cain bridge, and the most learned professors of the Oriental lan. ;pages in Great Britain. Her taking leave of the imbrues in the language of the Moon, was highly applauded." But this part of the story was all moonshine ; for the con cert was badly attended, and the receipts did not pay the expenses. Mary, at the date of the last American papers, was on her way to Baltimore and Norfolk, in the hope of be ing able to levy contributions; but, if we may be permitted to judge from the following paragraph, her reception there would not be more favourable than at Philadelphia : " Norfolk, Sept. 28. " To THE EDlTORf..—Gentlemen,—Having seen it mem. tioned in a New York paper, that the famous Miss Carraboo, whose arrival at Philadelphia you noticed in your paper some time past, was about to pay a visit to New York, I beg leave, through your paper, to undeceive tite,pnblic upon that imports:it subject; Viss Carraboo, allow me to say, has lately arrived in this borongk, and rented the brick house, No. 1, Talbot street, where she has established herself with a numerous retinue, and may be seen at all hours of the day. It is a sale. ject of much regret with the respectable inhabitants of that neighbourhood, that, for decency's sake, the police of the borough have riot, ere this waited on her ladyship, and coo. ducted her and her Maids of Honour to more suitable lodg ings. This much for the present, Messrs. Editors : perhaps yen may liter more obit by and bye.' On the above paragraph, the Editor of a New York paper makes the billowing remit ks ;—" Should it he the intention of this iniouster to visit New York, she is informed that we have stillULe calved the Vagraat Act, whicb is provided for all such persons, and a place called Bridewell ready to re ceive them; of which, it is hoped, she will take due notice." It may be noticed, as an additional trait in the character of this Princess of Hoaxers, that on the very day of her first exhibition at Philadelphia, she wrote a letter to a friend in Bristol, stating, 'that she was about to engage herself as cook in the house of a respectable merchant.
