Extract of aleiter from' Port Antonio, dated the 12th instant: A mos: diabchcal attempt was made to destroy the Court-house of this parish by fire, on the asorninp of the II th instant. Betwt en the hours of four and five o'clock, the roof was discovered to be on fire, and from the direction the wind blew at the time, it nut only menaced ruin to the public buildings, but to the whole town; from the timely assistance and pronipt exertions of the inhabitants, it was happily'eKt; / s!wd . A torch, the implement of destruction, was found upon the roof.—A reward of three lotodred dollars has been offered to any person who will give information so as to lead to a discovery of the perpetrator or perpetrators of so atro cien: an auenipt."

The Paris Papers of Tuesday have arrived.—lt appears by the accounts in these Papers that a great part of Europe has been visited with weather es unseasonably wet and rainy as that which we have ourselves experienced for some time. The Northern Kingdoms have alone escaped ; by accounts from Petersburgb, Stork!lolm, and Copenhagen, the wea ther is represented to have been dry and warm. In various parts c.f . France also the inhabitants have been visited by vrat n • s u s and continued rain for several weeks. The Paris Papers state, under the head of Cadiz,• that the Mente-Videans have sent out cruizers t) capture the hemeward-hound Spanish merchant ves sels from the Havann;i:l at:LI Vcra C:uz. Thew cruizers have boldly approacl:cd the shores of Uhl Spain, and have mrde some rich carurts. This is another weapon of annoyance resorted to by the Pa. triots or Independents of South Atnerica against the mother•count Y. COURIER EXTRAORDINARY OF TUESDAY MORNING. Private letters announce, that the traitors Savary and Lall , ..mand have left Smyrna tt proceed to Persia. Lurd Carringt'n, an English Pe-r, li.ts arrived at Paris. Sevetal other Englishmen of distinction have also arrived in the capital. The three conspirators condemned to death at the Bicetre are in three different cells each has a gaoler, who keeps him from the sight of every one : they are allowed to walk in the great min one During these promenades Tollerun exhibits a great freedom of speech, and even gaiety. He frequently says—" In losing life, I lose nothing : 1 le.tt e nu. 'thing after me, not even regret." Pleignier takzs little sustenance and never speaks : he does not even answer when he is interrogated. Carbonneau hus obtained permission to write: he works incessantly, and seems resigned to his fate. _ _ All the news from Germany, the Low Countries, and Switzerland, agree in saying, that in the memory of man, more deplorable weather was never noticed at tl:is season of the year ; whereas the letters from St. Petersburgh, Stockholm, and Copenhagen, an. pounce that very warm and dry weather prevails con stantly in the Not th. l'he Prussian Government, ever attentive to the conduct of the French refugees settled ia Prussia have dismissed from Stare Louis, one Young, an Ex.Culonel of a free corps, and one Lintz, a very well known federate, who bad justly excited suapicion. PARIS, JULY 16. • Oa the 6th inst. Count Jules de Polignac was married to Miss Campbell, a rich Catholic heiress, and of a distinguished Scottish family. They received the nuptial benediction in the Chapel of the Ftench Ambassador at London. This marriage has some thing connected with it worthy of remark : Scotland is that country of Europe in which ancient traditions have preserved the most friends to France. The noblest of. the French*Chevaliers, the. Count d'Ar tois, doting his residence in Scotland, there re ceived the most affecting testimonies of those recol lections which are still national: he there found not only an asylum, but the honours and respect due to his tank, and of the Prince who said, on arriving at Faris —. 6 I am only one Frenchman more," could, for a single moment in his life, have forgotten his awn country, it must have been in Scotland, where his treatment was such as to .make him feel that he was not upon a foreign territory. Let it be remembered also, that one of our Mar- A bals, (Macdonald) who, in the latter times, thawed himself most worthy of his rank by his fidelity to the King and to honour, is of Scottish origin. The revolution of Englund had put an end to the 'political union of the two nativinl, without breaking their ties of friendship. Tne French revolution had destroyed the latter ties, but we are delighted to see a proof of their revival in the marriage of a Scotch woman, with one of the mien diatinguished defenders of the sacred cause of the throne.—Juurnal der Debar. Yesterday, after mass, the King having returned to the Council Chamber, tkir Royal Highnesses Monsieur and the Duke andl)uchess of Berri being present, the Marshals' of France whose names are subjoined, girt with their' swords, were called by the Minister Secretary of State for War, and succes sively took the following oath to his Majesty, in pre sence of the principal persons of the Court. The Marshals were, the Duke of Cornegliano, Count de Jourdan, Duke of Treviso, Duke of Tarentum, Duke of Reggio, Duke of Albulera, Count de Gouviun Cyr, Duke of Coigny, Count de Bournohville, Duke of nitre, Duke of Valmy, Count de Perignon. The following was the oath : " I swear before Goo, My Creator, on the faith and law I hold from him, and on my honour, well and loyally to serve the King, here present, in the office of Mat shal of Era :ice, with which the said Lord has invested me; that I will have no under standing or privacy with any person whatsoever to the prejudice of him and his kingdom, and that if I hear of any thing prep dirial to him, I will reveal it ; that I will cause to live in good order, justice, and discipline, the military who now are or may be in pay or service; that 1 will present. them, from injuring the people and subjects of the said Lord, and will cause them to observe the orilmances issued air the said military: that I will cause punishment, jcstice, and correction, to be inflicted on them, such at may be an example for all others ; that I will provide, or cause to be provided, and give orders that the military live in con formity with the ordinances of the said Lord; that I will proceed at all times when ordered to every part of the kingdom,to observe and examine how these military live, and prevent, as far as lies in my power, any oppression or molestation to the people; and I swear, that on my part I will observe the said or:nuances in every thing that is possible, and shall fulfil whatever may he ordered in them, and perform in all, and through all, every thing that concerns the said office of Marshal of France, such as a good and worthy person who is invest•%) as I acts with that state should, and is bound to do, in every thing concerning that State. " In sign whereof, and for the better fulfilling what it above, the said Lord the King now gives the truncheon of blarshal, as he has been accustomed to do to all my predecessors." The Marshals of France who did not take the oath this day were either ill or absent. SPEZZIA, JULY 3. Two vessels belonging to the English squaditon have put into our port, in order to purchase all the ammunition that could be supplied to them, and also old iron. All that was in the magazines of the State has been sold to them, as well as a considerable quan tity of salt previsions. An important expedition to be undertaken by all the Powers of Italy united to England, is much spAcen of. It can only be directed against the Barbary States, and the Italians will fight well in that cause, for every one shudders with indig• nation at the name of the Barbary Corsairs. ADEN. JULY 9. Abnuf five o'clock this evening a most violent storm burst over this place : tremendous cloud, loaded with rain, discharged their contents for sever.,l hours: the drains were not sufficient for the evacua tion of 'so great a volume of water, and it tilled the cellars of se l yeral houses, causing great damage. It is to be feared that this storm will he very prejudicial to the harvests, which have already suffered much from the violence of the winds and rains, wi,ich for a long period have now daily sbicceeded each other in our country. CADIZ, JUNE 29. On the 25:h instant, at a small distance from our Port, four vessels coming from Vera Cruz and the Havannah, to our merchants, were captured by two armed sallies bearing the Big of the independent Provinces or Monte Video, and which have infested our seas for nearly two months. All that has been published by the English and French Journals as to the measures said to have been taken by our Govern. mein to destroy these pirates, is false. Hitherto not a single armed vessel has been sent against them. The four captured vessels had on board 400,000 dollars in strung piastres and colonial produce. This event has tlitown consternation into all the commer cial establi►hments of Andalusia. Those unfortunate Colonists who were escaping from a country devoted to the horrors of anarchy, are thus stripped of the little which they could carry with them at the mo. rent of setting foot on their native shore. The crews have been landed. A Mail from-Flanders arrived this morning. The; Belgian Pape:: contain some accounts from Madrid, which indicate much alarm on the part of the Spanish Government for their Settlements in South America: The late events in France have thrown several mili tary refugees of considerable experience and talents into South America. The Patriots will therefore now have leaders in abundance, and there is every chance of ultimate success.--The following are ex tracts from the above Papers : BRUSSELS, JULY 15. General Hill, who bad accompanied his Grace the Duke of Wellington to England, has just arrived at the headquarters at Cambray. LILLE, JULY 12. By virtue of a resolution of the Prefect, a certain number of soldiers who had unlimited furloughs, have been called on to serve in the Legion of the North, which is organizing with great activity. The Prefect had addressed, on this occasion, a circular .letter to the Snb-Prefects, in which we observe the folloWing 64 There is now no question of carrying war into distant counttias s o< Gm of doiondiug out tortitori 'or chastising rebels, the integrity of France, the du• I ration of peace, the stability of the Throne, are Rua. rantced by the faith of treaties, by the interest and the honour cf all the Sovereigns, by the want of repose, of which the people begin at length to feel the advantages, by which the national wish, and the universal veneration inspired by the most just, the most wise of Kings—this Prince, so much desired and behaved, whom Goo has twic.e restored to us, to preserve him to us for ever.

[fATRACT OF A LETTER FROM NIARRID, JUNE 2..] " Accounts received by the Ministers from the United States of America, bring them positive in. lOrmation of a cireumstance which is very disagree. able to our Government in the present state of thing, in America. The fact is this, a French General, followed by 40 or 50 officers of the same nation, and by a hundred deserters, have joined from New Or leans, the Independents of Mexico, by whom they have been received with great joy. These Officers, who have quitted France in consequence of the dis. solution of the government of Bonaparte, are all brave men, well versed in the art of war. It is easy to conceive what consequences to the mother country may result from the accession of such auxiliaries in those distant countries. ,‘ They are looking with great impatience at Cadiz for the arrival of two frigates, with gold and silver, and some millions of piastres, from Vera Cruz.— Some uneasiness begins to be entertained on their account. The arrival of the Princess is more uncertain than ever. The inhabitants of Andalusia had made great preparations for their reception." Other letters, of the same date, say—" The Go vernment has not received for a long time any direct intelligence from South America, which gives cause for great uneasiness. A new Expedition was t:diced of as being soon to set sail from Cadiz, with a large body of troops ; but it seems to be now out of the question. The Spanish Marine is in a de plorable condition ; and the Government, deprived of its chief revirces, his no means of re-evtablish ing it, in the tviJ.t of the numerous embarrass. meats by wl,ich it is surr,►unded." :;TRASBURG, JULY 6. Baron Frimout air;ved here )estoJay, on his re turn from the review of the ilu.strian troops stationed Aiwa Saverne and Hagensu. He visited what is most co:otitis in the city, and dined with the Prefect, and is gone to-day to his head-quarters at Calmar. The regiment of llenyowski, 6300 strong, is going to.motrow to Mentz, where it will be garrisoned. We do not know whether another regiment is to come in its stead. It is said some of Ole Austrian troops in the Department of the Upper Rbine are going to leave it.

SUDDEN DEATH.—.OII Monday noon Counsellor Cou.as, of Stephen's Green, Dublith.died suddenly ; having gone into the Circulating Library, ia Ste phen's-street, and while in the act of looking over the catalogue, he fell back, and expired without a groan. • Mr. PEEL landed in Dublin on the 12th instant.
