Letters from Paris mention that several persons, who are to quit France in consequence of the Law of Amnesty; have asked for passports to the Nether lands, or to America. . They say also, that several French Officers leave their country for the United States, and that the English Government does not see without uneasiness an emigration which Might en danger its interest in America. HAGUE, JANUARY SI. We have just received the Java Gazette of the Bth of July, 1815. This Official Journal, in the English language, published in that country by the Govern ment. contains the most important news from Hol land, Paris, Madrid, Hamburgh, Austria, add Eng land; of the months of November and December, 1814. We find in it the following article s under die head of Vienna, November 20, 1814, (five months before Bonaparte's escape from the Isle of Elba) : " Austria has ordered its armies to be considerably augmented. It seems that the powers are not agreed in recognizing Murat as King of Naples. It is affir. med that Bonaparte is going to be removed to St. Helena." This Journal was brought by a functio nary, just returned from Java. FRANKFORT, JANUARY The Privy Counsellor, Baron de Gagers, Minister Plenipotentiary of the King of the Netherlands, to the free city of Frankfort, presented his credentials to the Sena e the day before yesterday, and received the usual compliments. The list of the Leg ttions, at this moment, at Frankfort, has just been made pub. Pc. It is ohserv:d, the Plenipotentiaries of Prussia, Balta.:la, and Wurtemberg, are not yet mentioned.— ' baron Humbold is charged, on the part of Prussia, with what relates to the territorial adairs. 13.troti Stein cnntinuei to resides here, with his family hut k d oes not a pp e ar that I.e will be accredited to the Dec.

Madame de St. Lea now inlisbits the house of M. Zumstein, at a small distance from the Lake of Constance, and remarkable for the beauty of its Situation. •GENEVA, JANUARY 11. The conduct of the Duke d'Angouleme in the South has gained the approbation even of those whose opinions are not decided for the present order of things ;. they agr.:e that the establishment of public tranquillity is owing to his wisdom and firmness.— Every where this Prince has repressed the excesses of an extravagant royalism and blind fanaticism at Tou louse ; he has openly proiected the worship of the Protestants • he has attended their religious meetings, end declared he would do the same wherehis pre sence could produce the same :alum: effect. LISLE, JANUARY 21. • , The Journal of this town contains an account of the funeral service to the memory of Louis XVI.— This article concludes as follows :P.66 The ceremony is finished, but the public grief is too sincere and too , profound to disappear so rapidly ; mean time, those who have caused i:, by the most horrible crime, leave the soil of their country, and retire from France, which they have filled with mourning. But this too tardy exile is not the first nor the greatest punishment that they have to suffer. In vain have power and fortune appeared to load several of the Regicides with their layouts. They have found but embittered enjoy ments, and incorruptible remorse has poisoned all the fruits that they have gathcred from their crimes ; but s ince they are no longer dangerous, let us forget them and pardon them, if possible, after the example of the martyred King." MILAN, JANUARY Is. Prince Schwartz: aborgh arrived here on the 9th instant, with 4 numerous suite. The Emperor and Empress will stay mucki longer hate• th in was ima gined. Nulling is yet known about their departure f or Fore. se. The Emperor, in an audience which he gave on the lit of J din cry to tie Deputies trots Lombardy,. solemnly pi.smi , ed them a Viceroy, for Venetian Lomb.rdy.

Cardinal Lista• is are ved here, to explain the cliff'sr maces between the Coats of Vienna and ROOM. • Notwithstanding the inveterate rancour our neigh bours on the other side of the Channel take every op portto:ity of manifesting towards us, they are not so blind to their own interest as to refuse panicipaing in the good things of Old England ; we allude to the large orders lately received from France for Tickets and Shares iii the present Lottery. This may be . attributed in a great measure to the good fortune of a couple of the 66 Lads of Paris," who are said to have purchased in the Last Lottery at the Office Ot. CoODLUCK, and Co. a Share of No. 19.646,. a Capital Prize of i€ 50,000 Cough, which miftlit be in our opinion an ethctual eoasel-atiou fcr t he liars of their renowned NAPOLS:AI. • - 4,...7ALYC1i PINEAL ,• J/ - • PARIS. JANUARY General Basil- has been arrested and conveyed to the Abbaye. Generals Drouot, DA*Re, and Cambrone, who ire to be :ern tried, have been, for some days past, kept in very close confinement (au secret). Several individuals, who were great partizans of the Usurper; during he late interregnum, were ar rested yesterday in the Faubourg St. Marceau, and put into the hands of the competent Authorities by the armed Powers. M. Dupuis, the Attorney-General, has not yet drawn up the indictment on the affair of Lavalette. The accused, in addition to Madame Lavalette, and the three English Officers, include the Gaoler and Turnkey, whose punishment, if found guilty, will brand them wiLls infamy. Manbreuil, who has been long in custody on a charge of robbing the Ex-Queen of Westphalia of her jewels, Scc. nearly two years since, has been found not guilty of robbery, but he is to be again tried for breach of confidenee. But very few persons are known among the Offi cers of the National Guard as having been appointed Members of the Legion of Honour. M. Man, who holds a distinguished situation in the Treasury, is said to be one. General St. Simon has published an order at Caen by which every Officer remaining there without a pas_ sport, is to leave the city within 24 hours. prisoners 6f State now at Mantua, accused of having assisted in the enterprise of Murat, in March, 1815, are expected to have an amnesty granted to them by the Emperor of Austria. The Princes of the Blood hunt almost every day, either in the woods of Vincennes, or at St.Vvermain's. - Two Jews have lately died at Vienna, worth fow millions of florin's. Their heirs are to become Jews, and remain so, otherwise the money is to be charitably disposed of. Lord Walpole arrived at Vienna on the 9th inst. Colonel Huppe has sued for a divorce before the Tribunal of the First Instance, on the ground of his wife's triple adultery ; and she likewise has an action against him for bigamy. On Monday or Tuesday next the trial will be proceeded in. Revel has appealed against the judgment that would not allow his divorce. The - English have delivered up the Barrier du Roule to the National Guard. Several workmen assassinated their employer in the Faubourg St. Antoine, robbed his house and de camped. The man is not expected to sus vive many how s. - Tke Prussians celebrated the anniversary accession of their Monarch to the throne.a lew days ago, with great pomp, at Sedan and other cities. General Ornano, who was detained at l'Abbaye, bas been set at liberty. M. Cambaceres is expected to retire to F! r:itee. The Duke de Massa, Prefect of Le Cita., has re signed. Tallien has, it is said, obtained from the King, a longer period tor his departure, on account of his serious illness. He was the cause of the downial of Robespierre—but in return he elevated Bonaparte to the Consulate. Olie Bonnet ha, lx-en arrested at Cy: enoble for hav ing shot his brother with a pistol. 5 , p -he property had been left them, to be divided equally, and this dissatisfied the elder brother Etienne so much, mat he perpetrated the deed while Lis brotner sat at dinner. Several joerneymen tailors have been arrested at Bordeaux, for being illegally assembled to force their masters to raise the price of wages. The cousin of the once notlrious Barras died on the sth inst. aged 103 years, at a house of charity in Groningue. Ridiculous reports have been circulated respecting the pretended armament of the heights of Mont., martre. A park of English artillery stationed near I La Chapelle, on the road to St. Denis, has doubtless given rise to this false news. - Some evil-minded persons had succeeded in caus ing the desertion of several soldiers from the depart. mental legion of Charente ; but many of these mis guided men failed not to discover their error, and the snare that had been laid for them. They have re turned to their ranks, and have taken the oath of fide lity to the King, which their brothers in arms had al ready pronounced with the most lively enthusiasm. The rest continue to come in. The authorities have ordered the arrest of five individuals, accused of being the instigators of these desertions. They have been submitted to trial.—litesieeer. The Royal Court has liberated Dasis, Colleville, and Prosper, accused of stealing the diamonds of the late' Queen of Westphalia, from the want of sufficient evi dence. Two appeals were yesterday lodged at the Tribu nal of the First Instance, and their hearing was fixed I for the 6th of next month. The first related to the cause between the Duchess of .Montebello and • the children of her husband by a previous marriage—the second to the question of divorce, between the Count and Countess of Normont. The. Provost Court of Paris met yesterday for the first time. M. Agier, President of the Second Court of the Royal Chamber, presided at the installation, tend swore in the different Meinbers. The Marquis. of Messey is Provost. The first ease which they will have to try is one of highway robbery. Th e Royal Court, at which M. Seguier presides, haying refused to administer the oath to M I Barmy who had been appointed one of•the Judges of the °. vil Tribunal at Paris, the latter has given in his en. signation, and the Keeper of the Seals has been no, mutated ds his successor. M. parrot was deputed to the Convention by the Department of Looere. He voted for the appeal tdl the people, after declaring Lbuis XVI. guilty. He moved for the transportation of the King, his consort, and two children, to one of the most inaccessible of our islands, to be there guarded by a corps of Pari. sians and Federates. He_alterwards voted against suspending the execution of the sentence of death. A Beliftc Journal, after having mentioned the dif ferences between the Courts of Munich and Vienna, announces, under date of the Bth instant, that Prince Eugene has been named Generalissimo of the Bay.- ti4ll army. This news has not the kiln foundation. We have received to-day the Munich and Augsburg' Journals of the 19th, which do not mention the fact. M. G. de M— has distributed among the Help. bees of the two Chambers a paper, suggesting the thaiscian apotheosis should be Aga to the tener noun to be paid to the memory of Louis XVl.—' This national wish has already been expressed in a Secret Committee of the Chamber of Deputies by one of i:s Members. M. de Puymaurin, in the sit ting .of the 17th of January, said, that St. Louis died a victim to charity, and Louis XVI. the victim of his virtues. He reminded them, that Philip the Hardy solicited the canonization of .Louis IX. and begged that the Chamber would introduce a wish to the same• effect in their address. The Marquis de Maisonfort said. that his Majesty had anticipated this suggestion, when he recently announced to the Com mittee of the Chamber, that, in a short time, the day of mourning of the 21st Januaty would be to France a day of joy and triumph. In short, •M. Clause' re minded them that Pius VI. had declared in a Consis tory, that Louis XVI. died a martyr. " Can it be doubted,"• said the holy Pontiff, 44 that Louis XVI. was put to death from hatred to the faith, and in a spirit of persecution against the Catholic doctrine ? His enemies laboured to bring against him several accu sations. drawn from the political system; but the principal motive was the unshaken firmness with which he refused to sanction the decree of transpor tation pronounced against the faithful priests. Is not this sufficient to authorize us to believe and to declare, that Louis XVI. was a martyr ?" Monday there were distributed among the National Guards crosses of honour, in the proportion of sixteen to each legion. It was remarked that his Majesty Louis XVIII. re mined on his knees during the time of reading the will of his august brother. There arrived on the 22d several detachments of 'I troops destined for the Royal Guard. His Majesty yesterday granted the title of Count to his Excellency the Minister of Police. Count De Scey, Member of the Chamber of De puties, and Prefect of the Department of the Doubs before the last usurpation of Bonaparte, has been re appointed Prefect of the same department. The following Consuls have been named: M. Felix Beajour, Consul-General at Smyrna; M Fleurydun. Vice-Consul ; M. Butel, at Malta ; M. Seguier, at London; M. Devirs de Peysacy at Cadiz; Les ;millers, at Antwerp ; M. Mitre de Pelage, at Elsi nem. ; M. Regnault, at Tr ipoli ; M. Guys, at Alep po ; M. D. Le Jeune, at Dantzic ; and M. C. De fosses, at Gouenburgh. The Marshal Perignon, named by the King Go vernor of the First Military Division, does not at pre sent exercise the functions, because they have not been renewed according to the ancient customs of the kingdom. Two grenadiers of the Royal Guard were arrested yesterday, under the galleries ut the Palace Royal, for holding language against the Government. The Royal Guard reckons full 15,000 effective men. General Boiniaire, Commandant at Conde, was transferred to the prison of Lisle, from the house of the military detaining officer at Paris, where he ar. rived on the 19in. • The Pope is about to establish a National Guard. The Duke de Zagorula will be Commandant. Tile Chevalier Canova arrived at Rome on the evening cif ,he 6th of January, from Landon. The Journals have announced, that a young wo man had thrown herself from the window of a house Lecurnsaareat. The father was about to be ar rested. la is said that he was charged with ill-treat ing his daughter, and that he forced her to commit the act of despair which terminated her life. It is said that the sums . given by the Royal Family forthe deliverance of prisoners for debts, amount to 250,000 francs. Near 90 millions of the 100 millions, borrowed for the State, have been paid into the Royal Treasury. The barracks of Mop Blanc and Roe Verte, ec copied by the '&3d Eng'ish regiment, were evacuated on the 16th by toat corps, who took the northern route. _ _ _ It was on the 20th instant that Qnesnoy was placed in possession of the •English troop. The Bavarians have entirely evacuated the -Jepart ment •f La Meurthe, with the exception of about 100 men, who are still at Lineville. The Serjeant, who figured at the head of the com •motion which took place at Strasburgh, during the blockade, has been sent before a Council of War. At Rouen, on the 22d inst. they burnt all the signs and emblems of the different Revolutionary Govern ments, amidst cries of 4 , Vive le Roi I" Thesuccessive declarations of the different reformed Consistories continue to disconcert, or prevent the de. signs of that malevolence which ferrets out all_the oc casions that circumstances may offer to it, and to which the zeal of the Protestant Society of London has furs.ished one so favourable. These authentic declarations will, doubtless ) also terminate in impo sing silence on the furious and ridiculous declama tions with which an English Journal incessantly fills its enormous columns. They make known both the real state of things, and the sentiments of a class of Frenchmen whose dispositions seemed to be not less calumniated by injudicious zeal, than ;hose of the GoVernment itself. All of them express the most perfect confidence in the guarantees presented by the laws of the kingdom, and the good faith of the Prince. We have at this moment before us an extract from lit registers of the Consistory of the Protestant Church etf Bourdeaux, and the letter in which it was sent en closed to the Minisser of the Interior. Several ether productions of the same kind have also been commu nicated to us—lt is superfluous to give extracts from them, or to analyze than. Unaniptity of sentiment produces.unifirmity of expression. It might be said that one and the same voice had arisen holt) the bosom of the Reformed Communion to testify in favour of the truth, 'and in the face of Europe, and the name of all the Protestant Churches, to refute the insinuations of perfidy.—Jeeritel du Debate. The Nadrid Gowns. of the 7th instant, contains a dispatch 0 the 7th September, from Don Pablo hio :ilk, which, after detailing some preliminary opera tions, states. that he completed the blockade of Car thagena by sea and land en the Ist of September last. He subsequently occupied Passacatiello ; and predicts, that the besieged would woo experience the most pain ful privations, and that despair would succeed to the insolent contempt with which they rejected his Ma. jesty's clemency. He says, he had a year's supply of provisions, that his army was is the best health, and Heaven seemed to favour the success of Lis enter. prize, a finer sw i m never having been seen—his ca. valry scoured the distriits between the Madeleine. 'Sinn, and Casten. The Insurgents issued tinns in the style of Napoleon, ascribing r e i ft - it Spanish army every spdcies of excess; w hi ch I . l _th Morillo retorts on themselves. From th eee M the Editor says, there is no reason to fear th e constantly talked of in foreign journals. DUON, JANUARY• 2e.
