The Paris papers of Saturday have been received, and extracts from them will be found in another column. They contain no further intelligence from the French army. Reports favourable to the Spaniards were, however, circulated, but we know not on what authority they rest. One of them will be found in the letter of our city correspondent Another is that Moncey has been driven back with loss by Mina. The maritime warfare has commenced successfully on the part of the Spaniards. The capture of merchant vessels was confidently anticipated from the inducement which the commerce of France holds out to the adventures of every country, but that of a large frigate by two brigs has excited some surprize We trust the account will be confirmed. CITY, Monday Evening. In Paris, on Friday afternoon, the Rents fell more than two per cent, in consequence of a rumour having gained great crcJit there that the French army of legislators had received another severe check not inferior to the one which they had previously experienced at St. Sebastian. It is a well ascertained fact, that the emigrant ministers of Louis the Fat,

have calculated largely on the effects of bribery among the Spanish Generals, and no efforts this way have been wanting to render the campaign of the Royal Generalissimo both pleasant and victorious. The Governor of St. Sebastian, it was expected, would haver sent a deputation to the Bourbon with the keys of that fortress, as soon as the army presented itself, and the successful assault made by the garrison was as unexpected by, as it astonished, the iniquitous invaders of Old Spain. At Pampeiuna, the French have met with a reception not less unexpected, and certainly more fatal to them than at St. Sebastian. Led on by the hopes of a treacheroin surrender of that invincible fortress, they approached, according to the rumour which was universally credited at Paris, its walls, and were only convinced that it was the intention of the garrison to defend it when they had lost up wards of 800 of their comrades The Trench Foreign Secretary, who formerly volunteered to bring water from the river Jordan, to babtize the son of the anointcd Emperor of the French, puts more faith in the assistance to be derived from cash, than in any aid which may be received from the God of St. Louis, and their agent Martignac was accordingly sent to try the effects of gold, even on Min himself, as if any thing so base could induce this illustrious patriot to forego the high station which will probably be allotted to his name in the brightest pages of the history of nations. Trusting to this Ally, the Prince conceived that the sword previously consecrated by his illustrious Duchess, whom the Emperor Napoleon used to denominate the only man in the family, and the veneration in which the word Bourbon is universally held, where it is not known, would have proved sufficient for the conquest of the high minded inhabitants of the Peninsula. St. Sabastian and Pampeiuna have however convinced him of his mistake, and the heavy artillery had consequently been ordered up trom Ba yonnc, but the want of horses was an obstacle scarcely to be oveicome. The French Funds, in consequence of these rumours, fell on Friday, from 84f 60c. to 32f. On Saturday, however, their was a small reaction, and they again reached 83.

ceed on their way without the least obstacle. The latest accounts state they hrd arrived at Anadjor in good health, and were received by cries of "Long live the Constitution! Long live the constitutional King." Extract from a private letter. aix la chapelle, April 13. Letters from Petersburgh, of March 23, say that sir Charles Bagot, the English minister, had at length succeeded in determining the Russian government not to send any troops to join the French army of the Pyrenees. As soon as these letters from Petersburg reached Vienna, the English charge d'affairs addressed a note to prince Mettcrnich, in which the British government expresses itself decidedly against all participation of the continental powers in the war between France and Spain. The Russian senator, TatisfhefT, is still at Vienna The slowness of the negociations carrying on between lord Strangford and the Porte makes the departure of the Russian minister for Constantinople more doubtful than ever. Time is necessary to finish any work with the Ottoman Porte, for all the despatches are first sent to Vienna from Constantinople Sc thence to St. Petersburg. The notes from the Russian government take the contrary route Extract of a letter from Paris, daed Saturday evening : The French frigate La Guerierre has been taken almost in sight of Brest, by two armed vessels bearing Spanish colours, one of which was a brig carrying 15 or 20 guns. The frigite was prepared in high style. You may rely upon the truth of this." The following is also an extract from another private letter, dated Paris, April 18 : " All the letters from Bordeaux & Havre, express the greatest alarm with respect to the vessels which they expect from day to day. A letter from Bayonne of the 12th inst. announces the capture by a Spanish corsair of a ship laden with grain, which was carried into St. Sebas tian. A Spanish ship of war is placed below the river." From the London Traveller, Jfiril 22. In the house of commons last night, lord Nugent gave notice, that he should on Friday the 2d of May, move for leave to bring in a bill the object of which would be to place the Roman Catholics of Great Britain, as nearly as possible on the

same footing with the Roman Catholics of the sister kingdom. A considerable rise suddenly took place yester day in the corn market, and it is ascribed to some very large purchases made by an extensive capitalist for the purpose of forwarding to the French army. The advance is full 5s. per quarter since last Friday. Courier office, 3 o'clock. We have just received by express, from Paris, the following telegraphic communication. r akis, April 20 " Telegrefihic Despatch -The port and citadel of Guetaria have been taken by our tioops 200 men among whom were two colonels and ten other officers, have been taken, together with 5 pieces of cannon, and provisions. " It is said the enemy have abandoned Burgos since the 1 4th. Every where the French army meets with the best reception." Jfiril 21. An embargo has been laid on all Spanish vessels in the ports of France. Marseilles, jfiril 12 An order by telegraph was this morning received by the

authorities of the port, to lay an embargo

on all Spanish vessels ; this was immediately put into execution, and several

which were outside the portion the point

of sailing, were compelled to return, by the boats ol the men of war lying here. Paris, Jfiril 19. At half past seven o'clock, an extraordinary courier from London arrived at the department of foreign affairs. Two hours afterwards, the ministers assembled in council at the residence at N. de Villele.

The order of embargo, which only related to vessels laden with grain for the enemy, being misunderstood, was entered in general to all Spanish ships on the first commencement of hostilities. When this fact was knwn, the order was forthwith rectified. It is said that M. Dupau, one of the officers who particularly distinguished himself at the attack of St. Sebastian, has been nominated by his royal highness the duke d'Angoulemc, lieut. col. of the engineer corps This officer already owed hit former rank of the chief of battalion to his intrepid conduct at the seige of Valencia.

The Moniteur of Monday week contains the following des

patch from Guilleminot. The march of the army continues the 4 brigade of the advanced guard; under the

marshal de camp-Wall'in, Is half a march beyond Tolosa, which the duke of Reggio ' occupies with the first corps. The divi- i sion Bourke closely blockades St. Sebas- j tan. The flag of truce of this general was ' received with musket ahot Our troops: then made themselves masters of the heights which command the fortress, into which they forced the garrison to return. The impatience for fighting was such that

gens and otliccrs could scarcely check it. From this new position genl. Bourke sent a second flag ot truce, which this time was admitted ; but the governor ha- . ... . . .

ving pretended that advantage had been taken of this circumstance to advance gen.

uourke, demonstrated to him, our good, and his bad faith, by immediately withdrawing his troops 200 paces. The flag of truce having returned, the troops of his majesty assaulted, with fresh ardour, all the posts which the enemy had re occupied, and completely overthrew him. J After an hour of repose, the enemy attempted a sally with 3 battalions, which he supported with a sustained fire of 16 pieces of cannon, both from the town Sc citadel. Phis sally was promptly repulsed by battalions taken hum the 22d, 34th. Sc 30th regts. of the line, led on by generals Dalbignac and Marguerrye. Nothing could be compared with the state of the troops ; soldiers, officers of the staff every body has done his duty. It was with cries of vive le roy ! that his lo)al subjects constantly combated, and answered the vociferations of the revolutionists Gen. Bourke cites, with distinction the aid de camp to his royal highness, It. col. Delahite, who was constantly in the midst of the fire, the colonel of the artillery depot, and capt. Ducier. We have to regret only the lost of 20 men killed or wounded. The loss of the enemy must have been much greater, as they were twice repulsed. His royal highness will, tomorrow distribute on the spot, the rewards due to the conduct of the most distinguished officers and soldiers. The head quarters of the army will be tomorrow, the lOth, at Ernani, and on the 1 1th at Tolosa. The Journal des Debats, itatesthaton the 9th, a provisional government for Spain was tstablished, and that gen Egula, was placed at its head. From the Globe, Jfiril 22 We have received Lisbon papers to the 7th inst On the 3 1 st ult. the session of the cortcs terminated, when the king attended in person, and delivered a speech to the deputies. It has nothing in it which can elucidate the most interesting question at the present moment, with regard to Portugal, namely, her future connection with Spain. A peculiar reserve indeed seems to have influenced his majesty's advisers, in all that referred to the foreign relations of the country Frankfort papers to the 16th inst. have arrived. If the account from Copenhagen be correct, the conspiracy in Sweden is not the mere hoax which it has been described. Cofienhagni, Jfiril 5 It is affirmed here that numerous arrests have taken place in Swodcn, and that the conspiracy has very extensive ramifications It is said also that several ladies have been arrested. augsburo, April 11.

our archbishop all the primates, and 34 other Greeks of distinction, were arrested j and thrown into prison This measure, of! which nobody knows the reason, has' spread consternation here. Various re-1 ports are in circulation on the subject ;

but it is certain that the Bey had given orders for these arrests, after the arrival of a Tartar from Salonichi."

We make no hesitation in saying that we shall vote for no person whose sentiments, in regard to this subject, arc in opposition to our own. Our sentiments are free: we are in favor of districting the state." Xaval Engagement. Com. Daniels who commanded the squadron which was blockading Porto Cabello, in an engagement'with a Spanish force consisting of 6 vessels, carrying 186 guns and 1300 men, has been killed and his whole squadron captured. The Columbians are said to have lost 161 killed and 21 wounded the Spaniards 83 killed and 49 wounded. Com Daniels had 4 vessels mounting 82 guns and carrying less than 500 men. Comfort to Drunkards. A hearty old fellow, who was at the siege of Quebec and the death of Wolfe, and born in 1722, was brought into the city-hall watch house of Tuesday evening, intoxicated.

as regards the hrst question, concur with him in opinion as to the 2d question, at j present wc view it as picmatun, because tht members now elected crnot act upon it should the state not be uisttictcd at

the next session, the question will be an important one at the electicn of 1824. Presidential Flee tors. ihc August election is last approaching, and we think it time that the candidates for a seat in our legislature should come fairly before the people with their views and intentions in regard to one or two important subjects. These questions should be proposed to every candidate : Are you in favor of districting the state for the purpose of electing electors tor President and Vice-President ? If the state should not be districted (as above) who arc you in favor of for President and Vice-President ?" We have not room for the whole of his remarks, but extract, in addition to the abovc questions, the following, he says
