`HE 'ENING STAR. LO NDON. THURSDAY, APRIL 28, 1814. ST. MM.—Holiday at the Bank; FRENCH PAPERS. we have received the Paris Pape?s of Monday. but as they are printed In the morning, they contain nothing of the trial of Sir Ronal. WuaoN and his I wo dornpanions.—We have subjoined the following eztracts from them, and even these are not of a very prominent interest. One Paper only (The Joernal de Paris) contains the Act of Accusation, and other documents already published : MAUR F.XTRAORDINARY OF MONDAY MORNING. The King yesterday heard a musical mass in his Chapel. A great number of persons of distinction, an on whom were several foreigners, were present.

WOrkorets have been occupied for some days in ecnstructing the foundations of the Monument s which according to the King's orders, will be rebuilt on the Place des Victoires, to the memory of Louis XIV. PARTS, APRIL II& A foreign journal announces, that General Albs, who commanded at Cassel, under Jerome, and who was included in the Ordonnance of the 2§th July, is at this mamma at Frankfort is the greatest indigence. M. de la Fare, Bishop of Nancy, who is entrusted with the Portfolio of the Affairs relative to t h e c o . tholic Clergy of France, has taken possession of the Hotel occupied by the Councillor of State Jourdan, in the Rue du Boc, allotted by the last Government for the Administration of the Communes. All mat ters relative to the business of Non• Catholic Commu. niom and Jews, will be under the immediate direc tion of the Minister of the Interior. Great exertions are making to put the Chateau and Gardens of Chantilly in a proper state; the water. works are repairing, and extensive plantations making. One of the Princes will shortly occupy it. Count Gottorp, the late King of Sweden, arrived at Augsbonrg, from Italy, on the 9th instant. A poor woman who was lately liberated by the benevolence of a certain august personage, after having been imprisoned for debt six months, and who has several children, was a few days afterwards again arrested by as mitorgiving creditor fpr the expenses of the prosecution. The Duchess d'Angouleme was informed of it, and immediately caused every part of ktr debts to be paid, and the woman was a second time set at liberty by a member of that august Family w!)o, ever since their return to Rues, have stadia& but the benefit and happiness of the people. Count Dupuis has been lately named Governor of the French Establishments in the Indies. This No. bleruan is no ,stranger to the duties attachedto such a situation, having been Chief of the Colonies some years back. He is highly respected by the merchants. His Majesty has issued an Ordonnanee, stating that the ex-Minister Duke de Gaete, and the er-Minister of the Treasury Count MoDien, cannot be called to account for the sale of the 5,600,000 francs Stock, made to the Company Onward, and that Messrs. Perigeaux, Lafitte, and Company, are equally exo nerated from it ; and that a commission presided by the Duke de Levis, Peer of France, has been ap pointed.to examine into the sale of rents made to the Company Ouvrat d. It is said the new resolution of the Chamber of Deputies on the Law of Elections, was transmitted, by his Majesty on the.l7th to the Chamber of Peers. Count Houdetot will command the Royal Guards who are to form an escort to the Princess of Naples from Lyons to Paris. The National Guard of Cambray have giVen 9541 francs to assist the Government.

One Jaws Dumergue has shot with a pistol a woman whom he lived with at Angouleme. Hopes • are entertained of the unfortunate woman's recovery, but the villain escaped. Three houses were burnt by iceident at the village of &say, near Valenciennes, last week. }iambourg Gazettes have not arrived for several days. We hear the Duke d'Otraate (Fonche) is abou t to publish his Memoirs, with some justificatory pieces concerning his Lite triple Ministry. Letters from Valenciennes speak of a general movement that is expected to take place in the army of occupation about the beginning of May. Saturday, about two o'clock, a poor girl, while selling her bouquets of violets in the rue St. Honore, pear the rue Traver;iere, was knocked down by a cabriolet, the wheel of which passed over one of her legs. The poor child was taken to the hospital. •I LYONS, APRIL 17. Lieutenant.Generitl Canuel, commanding the 19th Military Division, and who presided at the Council of War at Rennes, in the affair of General Travot, is arrived here. He will preside over the Council of Was which is to try the cx.Gcneral Mouton-Du 'met. 7 1. •s 0. • FLANDERS A Flanders Mail arrived this morning. tr t his arrival we ate informed. that it is the intention of hi, Grace the Duke of WgLLINOTOW to Ill Sit this cenntry forthwith. his highly probable that the nuptiAls of the Princess Quintana of WALZS will be graced with the Hero's presence. By an article from Al. Rim we learn, that the system of Piracy is likely to be put down in the Mediterranean in some shape or other. BRUSSELS, APRIL to. The Duke of Wellington arrived yesterday in this city, coming from his head-quarters at Cambray. Hit Grace put up at the Hotel de Belle Vue, and departed again at seven o'clock in the evening to proceed to the Hague. His Grace's carriage, drawn by six horses, was followed by only one coach and four travelling with the greatest haste. They write from Muhlbausen as follows t.-44 Oar Police has received great reinforcements ; this men. sure has appeared necessary to prevent trouble. We are often witnesses of disagreeable events, but they , are attended with no consequences. The armed force begins by inflicting the bastinado on the seditious, who are then delivered op to the civil authorities. i The Austrian ga i r i sou occup i es t h e b u ildi ngs oran abandoned nsanufaetory." . APRIL 2l.—The Duke of Wellington, after a very short stay at the Hague. will embark at some port of 1 Holland to go to England. It is affirmed that be will return to Prance immediately after the marriage of the Princes Charlotte. All the Officers of the Staff who accompanied his Grace to C,ambray have remained there. MUNICH, APRIL 6. Bavarian Commissioners are gone to Salzburgh deliver up that city, as well as the Inaviertel, to Austria. The Prince Royal of Bavaria, who had fired his residence at Salzburgh, will now reside at Aschaffenburgh, to which place his effects have just been' removed. ALGIERS. The mission of Achmet Aga, sent to the Dey, of this Regency, by the Sublime Porte, at the sugges tion of Sir Sidney Smith, has caused the gteatest sensation here. This person has been received here with much ceremony, and every outward mark of the most profound respect. But he is zealously guarded like a state prisoner. Fear, and the abso. lute necessity of Turkish recruit; to maintain, by the foreign garrison, the tyranny under which the natives of the country groan, are the principal causes of this osentsihle deference, which is more than usual, to the orders of the Sovereign. Already Achmet Aga obtained, and without much apparent difficulty, the deliverance of 153 Greeks and three Austrians, who bad excited the interest of Sir Sidasey Smith. —fasso-persorA„ not ifteitaldll of the system of this Regency, conceive hopes of a change in favour of all the slaves in general. Others, who know it better, see in all this, only a palliative, 'ivied to soften the displeasure of the Powers, and to avert the storm which is seen to be rising, as well in the East uin the West. We hope, however, that the Knights. associated in the noble enterprise for de livering all the slaves, will not relax in their efforts; and that the Powers will continue their good offices with the Ottoman Porte, whose authority, so long disregarded, begins to' make itself felt in so effica cious and salutary a manner. . Notice was given last night in the House of Cord mans of a motion for the renewal of the Alien Act. - We confess that it has always appeared to us absurd that individuals who profess allegiance and obedience to a foreign Sovereign should have the unlimited and unlimitable right of taking up their residence in the . territories of another Sovereign, and of remaining therein till after, proof of as offence made liable to transportation by the laws. Indiscretions of sr6ects may be endured—must be endured, which there is no necessity to suffer from an alien. To give to men owing foreign allegiance the same privileges as to natural born subjects, iS to confer on them the power of defying the Government and the Nation RV long as technical proof of crime is wanting.—. The intercourse of nation:, with all its benefits, is attended with its postible evils. When a citizen of against the laws, if his person escapes, his pro.: petty may operate to kin him within the reach of justice: a foreigner, on the other hand, escapes this collateral operation of justice—his property being else where. The rights allowable to foreigners in Eng land should, in some respects, be measured, not by, the extent of the privileges of Englishmen in Eng land, but by the rights enjoyed by Englishmen io other countries. Yesterday the Parwcz RZGZNT rode out on hone. back. The Princess Cuantortz of WALES is expected in London on Monday.—The Marriage of her Royal Highness is filed for Thursday next. Prince Co lwyn° is expected to arrive on Sunday next, from Windsor, at the Duke of CLARENCII'S, in the Stable Yard. where he will remain until the day of the cele bration of the happy event. His Royal. Highness gives a dinner there on Monday, to the rVINCE ROYAL, and on Tuesday to the LORD CHANCRLLON and Ministers. The Princess CHisuLorre was intro- duced to the PRINCE, at Windsor, on Monday_ last.— There will be a public breakfast at Carlton douse, at which the leading tashionables will be, present.— After the ceremony the illtisttious couple will leave town for the Duke of Yonx's seat at °Wands, where, .report says, the hemensooe will be poised. • • •IP ••• • - • • ••• •• • •••• ••• ArdrAL. isTiAuckvti. . ~~ MAILS THIS DAT. • A R . ova. : met.

The Isran frigate, Captain FORREST, after a fPrt nigbt's laborious and skilful exertion, was got off from the reef of rocks, near Cape de Gat, where she run on shore, and was towed into Gibraltar, the 24th ult. by the MONTAGUE, 74, and ARACHNE frigate. We learn that General Creatruoos (meaning 100 Fires), has been named Governor and Captain Ge neral of the island of Cuba, in the place of Admiral APODACA. This new Governor is an Officer entirely of the old school—be carries out with him 3200 men, in order to enforce the shutting up of the Havannah, and all the other ports in the island, against foreign trade. Thicforce has been deemed necessary since Admiral APODACA hitherto was unable to comply with the peremptory orders he bad long ago received from FERDINAND on this subject. This measure is particularly directed against the British. For several years past, London houses have beer, in the habit of supplying Cuba, not only with every article of cloath lug, but also with sugar boilers, and every implement used in agriculture. British trade haF. therefore, long been the very soul of all the mercantile operations carried on in this interesting island, and of this the inhabitants have been so sensible, that they have always strongly opposed all measures of restraint. Extract of a letter from an Offieer on board his Majesty's ship BANN, dated Island of Goree, Afr;ca, January 1, 1816 As there have been no men el war on this coast lately, the Spaniards have been carrying on the Slave Trade to a very great extent : we have information of several now on the Coast, and sail this afternoon in quest of a large Spanish ship, mounting 20 guns, belonging to the Havannah, now *Ng gig tii.Gsi6dsia. Fidi.dearly her cargo at. slaves comptete. •lhe .Government vessel PRTNCESS CHARLOTTE, belonging to thesesettlements, has within these two last months captured several slave ships, chiefly caller the Spanish Rag. I hope we shall suc ceed in capturing this ship ; there is little doubt of it ; after which there will'not be a creek nor corner about the coast that we shall leave unsearched. Our boats are fitted up and well armed for searching where we cannot get in with the ship. I trust we shall be able to put a final stop to this inhuman traffic ; at any rate, it will be a great satisfaction to us here. after to know, that we have done our utmost to do so. Major PERRY, the Officer sent out lately by Govern ment to explore the interior of Africa, is here. He commences his expedition to-morrow, attended by ' about 130 persons. He is well provided with guides, mules, camels, &c. and 'is very sanguine on the occa sior, though the old African Merchants here give them up as lost men. There were several in com pany yesterday, who assured us, that from their knowledge of Africa (and many of them have been in it these 20 years), there is not the least chance of their returning. The Surgeon of the patty, a man' chosen by Government, and who had been studying there some years past, for the express purpose of ' attending this expedition, died here a few days back." The following is an extract from a private letter, from Paris, dated April 20: - .- “ You will-have read the following paragr aph in the /Woken of yesterday : a NAM., MARcli !9. —Yesterday we had the pleasure of descrying at some 'distance from our port, the Neapolitan than coining from Palermo, and having on beard the Hereditary Prince and his august daughter, but the wind being contrary, the ships were not any nudge to enter our port, but were, IC after our descrying them, forced to recede therefrom, sines we have entirely lost sight of t h em.

Doe measures are taken to dear eurgassts 'petal of these pirates.' " This paragraph, conjointly with private information from the Ttillieries, has given rise toe report of the intended bride of the Due de Delft basing fallen into the hands of the Algerines; and it is presumed that the article is thus weeded to prepare the pub tic mtnerfor this hapless event. Should this report tura out to be founded, and these infidels refuse to give up their **Wen prise, Sir Sidney's plan ef a crusade against the States sit Barbary might not improbably be realised sooner than he expected, by a chival rous expedidun being fitted out to deliver this royal captive.
