VIENNA, MAIWif. The deuhts which we expressed in one of our last _ Papers respecting the itenuineuess of ;he Asiatic Prince, who called himself sou and successor to the Emperor of the I);rmans, ;re fultyiustified by a letter which we have just reveived from one of our corres pondents at Bucharest, (where this pretended Prince seeded for some time.) Unhappily for this gi nephew of the Sun, and relation of the Moon, of Lucifer, and -all the Stars," Maj. , r Stewart, .Aid-,de•Cautp to the Governor General of India, Lord Moira,- was at Bu. chatest,'on his way to London. The Major, who by a• ten years' residence in India,. it as well acquainted 'with the language, customs, and manners ut those countries, es faith those of h i s own country, was very desirous to set acquainted with this descendant of "the . blessed•lruad and cousin of the ALUICitiTY GOD."••••• He the' more easily formed an opportunity, as the Prince of Wallachia, who had already conce:vedeoche suspicions respecting this pretended descendant of the Royal Family of the Birmans, requested him to visit him. Nobody could be better qualified to find out the truth, or rather the falsehood. Major Stewart fulfilled the Prince'l wish, and. with the EngWl Con sul residing at Bucharest, went to see this adventurer, When he not only discovered irreliagably all his lying asawtions, but by addressing him in the Indian lan guage, of which the impostor did not understand a syllable, threw him into such confusion and perplexity that be found it most advisable to escape, and left Bucharest the same night, to try his fortune elsewhere FRENCH PiIPERS. PARIS. MARCH U. The Regiment of -Horse Masseurs of the Royal Guard will soon proceed to Lyons. -Mousieur, with the two Princes, his sons, and the Duchess d'Angou leme, will also proceed thither to meet the Princess of Naples, who will be cunducted by the Prince Royal, her father. It is said that the•4itter will re. aide at Fontainbkan. The Englishmen, Wilson, Bruce, and Hutchinson, were sums days ago transferred to the Conciergerie. Count Jou de Noailles, Ambassador from France to Russia. passed through Frankfort on the 23d inst. on his way to St. Petersburgh. CHAMBER OF DEPITTM-J—Ez Tl7llO 07 Tut 27TU. The orckr of the day was the discussion on the plan relative to the Duce of Berri's establishment. The Resolutions of the Committee were unani. rnously ado;►teJ t and thus the reduction of 500,000 francs proposed by Mintstas, for the first 6. e years, was aot accepted. The ani.uai dotati►•n w.II there fore be one milliou..and the marriage expenses, fixed at a mi.lion in the proposition uf Pliaiaters, were raised to 1,500,000 francs. After the Assembly had manifested its assent, the Duke de Richelieu mounted the tribune, and spoke to use following eff, a : I I is Gentlemen, the sentiments just manifested by the Assembly cannot fail to give the King the greatest satisfacuon : his Majesty anticipated them, and while he (*dated me to express his sense of them. he at the earns time directed tue to acquaint you, that he ac es:Fed the offer which the unanimous wish of the Chamber no longer permitted him to refuses but at the same. time, the longer_ firmly resolved to maintain she principles Of the strictest economy, and to strip *VIM the happy event which is about to console France, of all useless pomp, all superfluous ostenta tion, destines the 600,000 francs which you have vo. tut. to the immediate relief of the departasents which have sufercJ most by the two invasions.

B4 The Duke of Berri partici. pates toe sentiments of the King. and has ordered me to j lats the taithful icterpreter ofthem to the Chamber. Htghness. strongly affected by the cals. Ridge . which have pressed upon many parts of France, thinks Moult happy in deriving from the liberality eft the Chamber the means of mitigating them. It is to jbis noble use that the Duke proposes annually to devote the 500,00(1 francs with which you um augmented ,the establishment proposed for him.— I [New tries of Viw k Rei Fivest its Beg**, Let a bless PseVIDENCe, Gentlemen. for having re., m ut ed to us such Princes. By incessantly repairing the calamities which they did not cause, the Princes o f the House of Bourbon•acquire daily new claims to our gratitude and affection. The Minister came down from the tribune amidst ' repeated shouts of Vive la Faisilla Royale ! Th e Chamber then proceeded to the discussion of the Budget. MINISTRY OF THE INTERIOR. ITA.TZ O COMMILIiCI4 The Chambers of Commerce have received with great acknowledgments the King's Ordinance grant bounties for the seal and whale fishery. We may certain this measure will give activity to our mer c:tant marine. 'khe outfits for out colonies have been unhappily Laterrupted; an advantageous change is in prepara tion ' • our islands are about to be restored to thei r aa loral.state, and Prench commerce will resume its & out se in this channel. IL begins to take a. part hi 'the supplying of t h e b r ,, a ,its. Several cargoes have been dispatched thi ther. The Spaniards and Portuguese also. come to our ports to take is lading for different parts of _ . :interne. The vessels of the Waited State: visit us regularly, „ li d ta ke nor wines and silks in exchange fur the cot. tan and colonial produce which they bring us. particularly on th e p ort It is props: to CAM our eye u fM2Tligilles; because there every commerce connected t h e Levant has its chief seat.; On empanels tits buaiusse of this pou f it will be . seen, that clueing t.;‘ iyAktte period between•tbe 15th 01 August _ ' ~ I 1814. and the 15th 'esf March. lint.Werienterre Marseilles, monthly, 197 Mitch vessels i 'and tha from the Ist of Augoat.lBlls. to the end of Decent. , be; there entered monthly-296 vessels. During thetirst. period, there entered 80 foteign vessels monthly. and 111 during the . latter. Thai th trade of Marseilles increases in a marked 'Winner. . The number of vessels vsisistie bete cleared eat from that porr - does not yet present the same rebolt. During a month of the first period, there left May seines 172 French, and 711 foreign,ibrels s during Si month of the second period, only 115 French, and 41• tof ocher nations: • _ _ But it is obvious, that the sressels-ystrieh arrive re: l quire time for unloading and tali, goods in return. which accounts for the difference in the number of• clearances during the last period. It can hardly be doubted, from the entries, that the clearances must I soon, exhibit a more satisfactory proportion. Out of the above number of vessels, Marieilles sent to the Straits of the Levant 61 (of which fifty.six were French) in the seven months which preceded the usur pation of the 20th of March. It has sent thirty.ei*lit (of which 36 were French) in five months, -since the second return of his Majesty. The decrease preset]. ted by this view is unimportant, when we consider that the trade had Suffered so violent a shock. Marseilles cleared our only 18 ships, of which 17 were French, to the colonies, or to all America, dur. ing the first . of the above-mentioned perimis s it has cleared out 27 during the latter. and 10 foreign ves Nis have come thither to load for the same &stilts. tion. At the same time, it hu sent trur French car goes to Obtend and Antwerp. It had done nothing of this sort during the first period of the restoration. It is unnecessary to stare, that during the last usut pa • tion, the departures from the port of Hamill , s were confined to foreign vessels, which lean pleciptAtel) drove from our coasts. An interesting report from the Chamber of Com merce of Lyons, dated tie 9.1, instant, gives a view of the state of business in that city in January am: February t it will be thence seen, that it had expe rienced a moment of suspension, which is explainable from the following caustss—The Americans haseilig, in 1815, raised the price of silks by their numerous demands, and appearing toahave overstocked their own market, their purchases were stopped On the other hand, the orders from Germany were also auspeaded, in the expectation of a fall of prices.— This fall took place in January, upon which the buyers reappeared $ and in February the labours of the manufacturer, and the sale of raw and organxine silk, began to be returned. The most important improvements have - taken place - in the situation of the manufacturers of Avig non. The number of silk-looms in activity during the 4th quarter of 1815, unpaged by more than 200 that of the preceding quarter ; thus furnishing em- i ployment to 700 workmen who were previously de stitute of it, and a manufacture extraordinary of more than 458 webs of different kinds. Rouen has also presented in February last a very animated spectacle. Many foreigners have appeared there; our spun cottons have been much in demand; Superior sales so those in January have taken place : the same has been the case as to•linen yarn ' • in short, during the preceding month, there has been an in. crease in the sales to the amount of 2,100 pieces in velveteens, cords, &e. These various details indicate, if not a state of prosperity, at least that return to commercial acti vity and life which was remarked with satisfaction in the as last months of 1814, and in the beginning of 1815, still less for what it was in itself, than for the hopes of daily increase which it entitled us to entertain. The Aft:alma contains a list of 50 Deputies to the Lite Chaniber who have surrendered to the State their cleims for 'mean, amounting to above 55,00 U francs. 'MINNA, MARCH 17. It is difficult to imagine with what pleasure the reduction of the Austrian army is behrl.l. Inde pendently or its financial advantages, it must have an influence on our daily subsistence, and especially on the price at -provisions, w hich are extremely high. The true cause of this dearth must be ascribed to a coo numerous military e►tablisimfnt, which took from agriculture between two and three hundred thousand men in the vigour of their age.

Eight thousand uJeats are to be distributed among the poor of Naples on the ,day of their- Princess's marriage with the Duke of Berri. . The remains . of the late Dauphin (Louis XVII.) are being searched for at the ciasitilre of the Made- Fauxbourg St. Antoine. It is reported that Prince Blucher is at present un fortunately afflicted with a mental derangement. — His Highness has been ill a euasiderable time. The Brussels pnlice h.tve discovered and arrested a great number of persons concerned in the fabrication of false six dollars. The Royal Guards, by b ittalions, continue their exercises daily in the Champs de Mars. They write from the frontiers, that great prepara. tions are making at Philipvilfe for the reception of the King of the Netherlands. That worst of all human diseases, the plague, has broken out in Venetian Lombardy; both men and beasts are the prey to it in gteat numbers ; it is fear ed that Spain .• ill in the end suffer by it, though every possible means have been adopted to arrest its progress. Let us hope that France and England %11l escape-the contagion. We hear that the Prussian troops will in a short time be considerably reduced. Colonel Boyer was transferred on the 29c1, from .he Conciergerie to the prison de la Force. One of the journals announces that his Majesty has pardoned Goner-11 Debelle, and commuted the pit , ishmeet of death, to which he was condemned, for ten years imprisonment. We do not guarantee the authenticity of this news.—(Lurrial der Debts.) The King and the Duchess of Angouleme, eigh. teen years since were sponsors for an infant-Princess of the House of ?staples, who must have been the intended Duchess tae Berri. The regiment of Horse Chasseurs of the Itnyal Guards will pmceed t.) Lyons. Monsieur and the two Princes his sons, with the Duchess d'Aogoalf me will also proceed there in one of the Court carriages, to meet the Princess Royal of Naples and her father. The two august families will. afterwards come to Paris together. A Dutcb and Flanders Mail arrived this morning. The Papers brought by it contain the following articles : VERS.A4J,I.T3, MARC!! 24. One of Bonaparte•s s•.: v:►nts is returned from St. Helena : he remAin..4, h )wever, bat a short time in Paris, and went iagnwth.:cely to a little place in the departmems. When one esamines public opinion respecting the manner in which the di :puce, respecting • the sale of the woods and the altered mode of paying the arrear, WAS yesterday decided in the Chamber of the Depu ties, this proceeding has cauced great uneasiness.— People consider this vicwry of the Deputies over the fllinisters as very important. It had been hoped that the Royal Government would not have been obliged to submit to the desire of the Cb.Lwber. It is now generally feared that the King, having been once obliged to give his consent to the revoca tion of an existing law, sanctioned by the preceding Chamber of Deputies, this will give an encourage ment to the Deputies, to call in question from time to time other existing laws and regulations, Such a circumstance does not tend to give more confidence to the possessors of national estates, which ate now nearly unsaleable. The marriage of the Duke de Berri, which will serve to continue the crown in the reigning branch of the House of Bourbon, naturally excites interest.-- People would have wished, however, that an alliance - could have been made with a more powerful :tate in Europe, by which France might have been sure of the isiesdship and support of that Power. ALSACE, MARCH 15. We learn that several persons have been arrested at Strasburz. among whom are Officers who formerly filled high situations. Among these is General As. Win, formerly French Commandant of Kehl. It is supposed they were concerned in the seditious ma nhunts which have been secretly carrying on there, which their further examination will chew. We how ever know that the public tranquillity has not been interrupted, in that city, and that the great majority of the inhabitants are very much attached to the King and the present Government. FROM THE RHINE, MARCH 14. It seems certain that there was a general plan to disturb thp public repose.,in France by spreading the absurdest report. That such absurdities could have an; effect, chews the general want of education and knOwledge which is so remarkable in many parts. How else could it have been possible for any atten. Lion to be paid to so silly a report as that of the land. ing of Donaparte at Gibraltar with an army of Turks, and having taken that fortress. However, the general circulation of such reports in many provinces, the simultanious manoeuvres that were obierved sufficiently proved the existence of a settled plan to excite disturbances. The Prefects, themfore i were obliged to exert their utmost care to fatliGns the' plot; and to stifle it in its birth. It is ex petted that the Frofth Govctuatait will make known *Me ;miscreant dslettMents on this subject as w ort „ 1 the necessary materials are collected. Already several provinces, those pPrsont who have p olio. larlf compromised themselves on this occasion Asst been arrested, and others put under the cane of.,tb s Police. Proclamations too have been publioed several departments, to inform the people of the nut state of things. FRANKFORT, MARCH U.

As the Vienna Cazetts, in Announcin g the dep arture of the Archduchess Maria Louisa to Parma, giv i ng her the title of Majesty, but left out that of Emprels, it is supposed that that Prince has entirely re nounced that title.
