COCKIER EXTRAORDINARY OF FRIDAY MoRNING. The Duchess of Angoulerne will set but On Tues. day for Sens and return on Friday. We learn from Frankfort that Cambareres pro cured in that city several large drafts on the Banker Heckscher, of Hamburgh. The young Ladies of the City of Arras wishing to imitate their relations in the efforts which they make to contribute to diminish the charges of the State, have collected 2502 francs for that purpose. COURSER EXTRAoRDINARY OF SATURDAY MORNIVO. The City or Dreux has been the theatre of a most deplorable event. An individual named Verbe, Phy sician and Advocate, has assassinated in open day one &Baud, a painter, after .t quarrel .n , ut po iiical events. The assassin is in the hands of justice. The autograph of the testament of Louis XVI. which was found in the archives of the kingdom, was sarried on Thursday to the King by M. Delarne,the new Keeper of the Archives. Some days since a man about 70 years of age, dressed in a miserable great coat, and having the appearance of a beggar, fell down is the ,street of Monceau Sr. Gervas : the fall having hurt him mush, Ife was put on a board to be conveyed to the Hotel Dutv, but he expired ois the way his body was de posited in the Morgue. The Papers found in the pockets of this miserable creature , proved him to be Harmand, the Deputy to the National Convention from the Department of the Meuse. He voted, first ,for the instant banishment of his Sovereign and all the Royal Family, and afterwards for their death! COURIER EX TRAORDI NA RY OF THURSDAY P4,•RNING. They write from Naples on the 14th of February, The The •tre Royal of St. Charles no longer exists. This glorious monument cf the arts and of the m• • eificence of Charles III.; this immense edifice wh,ch recalled to the Neapolitans and to strangers the good taste of Athens and the -power of Rome, was in a few minutes entirely destroyed by 11.4a...i. The fire was occasioned by the negligence of a persoil employed, who had left a lamp burning. It was impossible to arrest the progress of the flames. The toot speedily fell in, and soon the King's Palace, the adjoining buildings and squares, were coverdd with burning timber. The inhabitants flocked from all quarters, and finally succeeded in extinguishing the TRIALS OF COLONEL-COMMANDANT BOYER AND VICE-ADMIRAL LINOIS. coma OF ASSIZES, MARCH 6. The R spporteur commenced by reading the report of the Mtntsttr of Marine to his Majesty. If was worded as follows ; " sire—On the 24th March, the Count de la Chats*, French Anibasulur to En i ,land, transmitted to Admiral Linois, the oriel to I:reserve the ide of Guadaloui,e faithful to his Majesty. by • very possible means: on the std May, the Admiral, Liao's, ocknowt , dged the receipt of it, and prirestcd his devotion to his Majta•ty. Oct t' e lath lune, Colonel Boyer}, second in astumaod at t'As post of Point-a-Petre at Basse-Terre. - tordered dig men& so be b,at, hoisted the coluttri of the Usurper, evoked against his Chief, and went with all his troops to the Governor's house, and ordered all the principal Administrators of the Colony to be arrested. On the following day, Admiral Lamle, ounaindful of -his chary and his promises, published a Proclamation in the name of the Usurper, and joined his banners;—the same even i ng he refused the assistance which Admiral Darkens offered blot, with Comm Vaugirard, to maintain the Royal Authority. " On the allth June the Of:Tremor-General pronenuced the dlsniinion of Rear-Admiral Linois and Colonel Boyer, whom authority was not acknowledged, and oa the nth July Admiral Lit:wets inserted in The Gasette of. the Colony a proclamation Vilna his Chief. It appears from all the, facts. that Colonel Boyer had been guilty, on the lath Jose, of rebellion against its Chief, Admiral Linois, and that, after a short hesitation, the latttr declared hilnself the Chief of the revolt, and that not withstanding his duty and his oaths, he obliged the itthabitsats to acknowledge and respect the odours of the Usurper; In a word, Admiral. Linais had proscribed all the faithful subjects to the King. I propose for your Majesty to summon Admiral Linels and Colonel Boyer before a Council of War, to be judged ao- Cording to the Military ,Laws, as guilty of revolt and tilsobe dencu. The Rapporteur then read five letters, written by Admiral Linois to the Count de la Chatre ; the first was written from Bosse Terre, in which he says-- « he will renew his oaths and prove faithful to the Lag." The second, written - the 2d May, announces that tranquillity reigns at Guadeloupe-, thanks to his cafes ' • and that the appearance of an E ng li s h squadron had at first caused some uneasiness, but that he had taken his rifeasures." The third, dated June gives an account of the situation of the island, and of the propositions made to him by the English Commodore—" that the island should he occupied by the English troops under French Commanders acd declared that he . did not think proper to acc e pt those offers noires he received an order signed by the Cunt de Vaogirard." Afterwards Linois wrote to • jet. Decres, Minister of the Marine, for the Usurper, informing him—" of the capture' ol.the island of Marie Galante by the English; " Theinhabitants," says he, " are animated by the best spirit, and the major part strongly allied to that flag which, for 20 ye.rs past, has been the glary of the French armies ; the English will, no doubt, respeCt the flag, which we will defend till death, and which we have adopted with so much enthusiasm." On the 18th October, 1815, he writes from Ports niouth to the Minister of Marine, for the King," se. ap „ t ing to be summoned to a Council of War, to justify his treason." Several other letters were hen read, written by M. Guilhermy, Intendant at Guada.. loupe, to Pt de Biwa, slid to the king. In die first, he says, 4 , the in coloured cockade is worn in Gnada lonise, hut the Government is uncertain what measure to take." In the 2d, he 4 , thinks th4t the rebel flag is tflyiog in the two cities; that Bayer has executed some movements. ~ n d that he has gained the soldiers. ar rested the Governor, and changed the Functionaries." In a fourth, he announces" the defection of Admiral Linois, who has thrown off the mask, and proposes that I should continue my exercise with the rebels." He sends the proclamation of Linois, in which it is said that all France had declared for Bonaparte, and commands him to follow their example. Other pieces prove that Boyer was at the head of the rebellion.— The instructions of M. Blacas, dated April 18th, it Ghent, order Linois to cease all communication with ' the agents of the Usurper. The sitting then broke up, to resume on the . following day. SITTING OF THE 7TEI OF MARCH. At eleven •'clock the Sitting opened. There re mained to be read the last part of the process verbal of information, and the depositions .of different wit. nesses. The President ordered the witnesses who were present to retire, and return at four o'clock. The process verbal - was then read, after which Mr: le Comte de Sesmaison, Rapporteur, informed the Council that M. Boyer having proposed witnesses for his discharge, some rogatory commissions had been sent, to the number of fifteen. All these roga tory commissions contained what several officers and functionaries of the cnlony had declared. Several of them were present at the trial : all relate what hap pened at Gnadalottpe on the 18th June. The Rap portenr indicates as the last piece of the three interro gatories of Messrs. Linois and Beyer, which we will give ha their own wotds. The Declaration of '4. Borer was joined to the interrogatories. That Orfir..r pretends that he is not to bt- judged by a French Council of War, as by the capitulation he is prisoaor to the English. He adds, as a sec•.nd mean, th It his conds•ct at Guivialonre was useless to the project of the Usurper.—The Pre sident then told the defenders, that they could, in presence of the accused, chew their prejudicial means. The sitting was then suspended for a quarter of an h' o ,, r . in expectation of the prisoners. The sit tin e recommenced. and they were introduced. The gene d'armes presented arms to them : Lino's bowed to the President; he, as well as Boyer, deco. rated with his orders. The President asked—is Admiral, what is your name, Christian name, age, place you were barn in, your rank and distinctions ?"—..“ Mr name is Charles Alexander Durand Count Linois, Rear-Admiral in his Majesty's Navy, born at Brest, 26th January, 11761, Knight of St. Louis, and Commandant of the I Legion of Honour."... the same question was then put to M. Boyer, who answered...." My name is Eugene Edward Boyer, Baron of Peyreleau, born at Alix, department of the Gard, 1774, Adjutant Com mandant, Officer of the Legion of Honour, Knight of St. Louis, Scc.". They were.called upon for their defence, and M. Boyer began thus :—" I was drawn," said he, " al most by force into circumstances that are Above hu man calculation. Seat 1800 lea^ ues from the metro polis, under a climate whose tsurninct • temperature exasperates the minds of the- i-ppmb'tiints. and I was ob':ged to yield to the tuajir• iorce ; the King, by his leaving France, seemed to t!ave permitted iris subjects tip foltow the course of events, since, upon the borders, he had dismissed the brave troops that were armed to defend him." M. Boyer seems well coavinced that his conduct has saved Guadaloupe ; he protests that he ought not to he considered as the author of the revolution of the 20th March ; but leaves to his advocate the power of explaining this subject, leaving the Council' to judge his cause. • M. Legouix, their Advocate, then began.—The account of the services of M. Linois had preceded the examination of that important question, Whether Colonel Boyer, prisoner to the English according to the terms of the capitulation of Guadaloupe, could justify himself before a Council of War? Secondly, that in supposing that Officer guilty, had he no right t., the King's clemency ? In speaking of this procla mation, he painfully tried to establish, that after the 23c1 of March there could be no erime nor revolt ac cording to the terms of the amnesty. The ordinance of the 24th July has designated those that were truly guilty, and Colonel Boyer is not comprised in it.— This young Advocate (M. Legouix) suffered himself to be drawn so far by his seal as to say, that the King, by leaving his metropolis, had gives the exam ple of submission to the Usurper; and a slight mur muring, which was however suppressed by respect, shewed hOw erroneous that opinion was. The Rapporteur answered thus to the defence: lse. M. Boyer is- a Frenchman. The crime for which he is accused was committed in a French Co lony ; he is now in France, before French Judges, who, like him, are military. How then can he deny the competence of a Council of War, before which he has been summoned by the King's order ? 21 As to the Amnesty, it could not be decided in his favour. The Ordinance to which he appeals, ,does not concern individuals against whom they have commenced prosecutions. M. Boyer had already been called before a Council of War, therefore 'the Ordinance to which be appeals cannot be applied to him. The Advocate then offered several observations, which added nothing to what they bad already said. The Council retired to deliberate. The Sittings were further posponed to the follow. in day. The Chamber of Peers, in their sitting of the 6th, adopted, by a majority of 85 voices, the resolution of the Chamber of Deputies concerning the donations for the Clergy, reducing it to these terms :—.,• All eccle siastical establishments, acknowledged by the law, ' , may accept and possess, with the King's authority, all the property, moveable and immoveable, which may be gmen be the act of those v sto are living, or ' by the will of those who die." In the cour s e o f t h e 1 discussion , M. Malville having concluded that the proposed faculty in favour of the Catholic Cler g y should be (the declar ed Bishop of co 1 nuwet ; satrioi ngthiye supported Langres[ Churches in the kingdom, on e of the Ecclesiastical Peers this resolution, in the name of his colleagues. The President observed, that the terms of the resolution were general, and might be.applied to all ecclestasti. cal establisinintats, without any distinction of cow , muniOn. THI EVENING STAR.

Their chief con tents consist of the preliminary examinations of tht traitors LINOIS and &mit, from Guadaloupe. They are ordered to be tried by a Cilia Martial, and gill, in all probability,. be either shot or hanged in a few days. LINOIS, It will he recollected, commanded a small French squadron several years in the East Indies, where he acquired, by his captures from the English, an enormous fortune—like a cautious and cunning toward he always avoided a rencontre with the British force on the same station : he was cap tured in his return, and allowed to reside several years at Bath on parole. On the restoration of Loots XVIII. he was among the first of the Came leons who shouted " Vise le Roi," and was entrusted with the Government of Guadaloupe. Cewards are always cruel, and accordingly we find this worthless villain issuing orders for a general massacre of all the Royalists of Guadaloupe, on the birth-day of his tu• telary demon BONAPARTE, being the 25th of August last. Happily for the unfortunate victims of his rage, the battle of Waterloo was fought in the in terim. On the 13th of June,'" the day of that very battle, Monsieur LINOIS, and his worthy Adjutant, Bona, declared that NAPOLEON was their Sovereign; and on the 18th of lily, the day on which Louts XVIII. "was resealed on the throne of his ancestors, they declared that he had ceased to reign. As. to BOYER, it is sutlicient to say, that be was Aide-de. camp to General Lecamtc, and fully participated in all the horrid atrocities of that monster at St. Do. mingo. In sh' It, it is hii ; ti time that Liners and BOYER shou'd be consigned to the gripe of the exe cutioners they have been too icing suffered to brave all laws, leunati and divine. They are immensely rich. We h(pe that confiscation of their property will follow their ignominious death. Another of the regicides of Louis XVI. has been hurried out of the world by an accident which proved fatal to him, and which the future historian will re• mark as an awful warning to future revolutionists, who shall dare to raise their hand against their law tut Sovereign. HAILMAND, the particulars of whose miserable end are recorded in the Paris Papers, was successively Member of the National Convention, the Committee of Public Safety, the Council of Five Hundred, and Prefect of various Departments under BONAPAIIrB. h is true, he WAS regarded as a moderate Jacobin ; and perhaps was not so guilty as the Monsters Foucus and CamsAcEneo, whose hands are yet reek ing with the blood of millions ; bat he was, never theless, a Itegicido and a Traitor. The state of mind of these unhappy men, who have been driven from France and refused an asylum in /wry country which is worth living in, must be galling in the extreme : " 0 their offence is rank, It smells to Heaven p " It bath the primal eldest curse upon't.--.

The American Papers, received yesterday, contain i copies of the Correspondence betty en the Spanish Ambassador and the American Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, relative to the occupation of the Florida*, and the assistance afforded, by certain Ame. ,titan Citizens, to the South American Independants• This correspondence led to the departure of the Spa nish Ambassador from Washington, as we yesterday 'stated. This Correspondence is too extensive for our present limits; but it seems to threaten a war between the United States and Spain, while the latter has to contend with her refractory Colonies in the South of the Western Continent. The United States, some years ago, purchessed Louisiana from BONAPARTE, to whom it had been sold by his own party in the Spinish Cabinet. Whatever may be said respecting the validity of this sale, Spain insists that the United States can, under the name of Louisiana, claim no more than what was transferred to BONAPARTE'; but they have also taken a large part of West Florida, and is answer to the Spanish remonstrances they .fly in a passion, and talk of hostilities. In the mean time the Americans have become more courteous to the British. On the '7th of Febru ary the Customhouses were ordered to place all Bn• tish vessels, direct from the United Kingdom, on tile same footing as Amitican vessels, both with tespe,t. in *tonnage duties and to the duties on Britis!l goods; but leaving the duties on our Colonial trade as betore • The accounts from South America in the Papzr . . repeat tie fact which we law Roy.,lists co itinue the blocks( the purpose of decny ; and 'hat American and four British vesse l trap, and their crews been impri treated.
