• • - t:t . . • FRENCH PIPERS. PARIS, SIIPTIMBER 2. After a trial of some days' duration,. the Court of Ass tote at Dijon has declared Gnneral Meaux, and the Sieurs Lejeas. Hernoux, and Royer. accused of ramipiracy in the affair of the 20th March, 1815.- Not Guilty. We have already reported the judgment of the Tri banal of First Resort for the department of the Seine t . by which the marriage contracted between Made , . :whelk Tascher aad the Doke of Ahrensberg is de clared null. The following is an anecdote, of a nature saniewhat curious, relating -to the same subject..., From the first, Mademoiselle -Tascher shewed great reluctance to the marriage, which she did not con ceal from the despot, who, astonished at finding ma oppotition even. in his family, on one occasion asked her whom she wished to marry He whom I love," replied she, u and whose character suits me." The conversation was shoo but warm t Bonaparte termi nated it by again asking Mademoiselle Tascher what she wanted ? She answered, 46.1 want the body of my tither. and a passport for America." He, how. rut, pressed the marriage, which was performed in the Duchess'of St. Leu's hotel. BdoAparte witnessed the ceremony, and congratulated himself oa it. as having overcome.* difficulty. HAGUE, AUGUST SO. The King has signed at the Loo. on the Slit. a Decree. est.thli.hing the uniformity of Weights and Measures according to the new law. PRIVATE LETTER. K PARIS, AUGUST EL " An order has just been discovered in the bureaux et the Minister of War, signed by Count —, con voking a Court Martial during the interregnum to try three Royalists, who were seeking to :titan their legitimate Sovereign at Ghent. They were con demned to death ; one of them by. coniumace. This latter demands the revision of his judgment. Count has been lately nominated one tit the Inspec tors of Cavalry for the division of Paris. You will not be surprised at healing that a sinair discovery has excited much indignation, and that this seperior officer is already pointed at as one of those wLom Douche alluded to in• a most alarming pluase of his letter." ' The Paris Papers have not been permitted to pub lish the letter of Fouctte to the Duke of Wawsurow. but they have 'published some One: vatiints upon it from the Franyort Journal. The following is an extract from them _ . " The Duke of Otranto, as we havu . scen, gave in his resignation of the ofSce of Minister of Police.— His retiring cannot, therefore, in any way be im puted to the King. That Monarch, to mitigate the severity of the change, appointed him his Minister at Dresden. But soon alter, the Chambers gave a grand ex ample of stational justic: : they proscribed in mass all the regici- who, insensible to the King's cle mency, had campired against him, by accepting offices from the Usurper. The Duke of Otranto knows the efforts that were made by the King and his Ministers to avert that blow t but all these efforts were vain, and the Monarch was obliged to yield to the wish of the two Chambers so decidedly pro nounced. Titus Louis XVIIL map, with at least as much justice as the Duke of Otianto, say, with regard to this event—' I consider myself acquitted from all reproach by necessity.' a It cannot be supposed that the Duke of Otranto pretends the King ought to make an exception in his favour; but, to all those who observed the progress Of this discussion in the Chamber of Deputies, it is evident, that had the Sovereign done so, he would have uselessly compromised his authority s hence the same hand which signed his appointments of Minister of the Police and Ambassador to Dresden, not only could, but was obliged to sign the decree of proscrip tion in which the Duke of Otranto was included. a We shall ant dwell on the Duke of Otranto's saying in this letter that he hos honoured his lfe. Let him reflect profoundly on the first ten years of his revolutionary career, and then he a ill feel th4t he ought nolonger to °mil)/ the attention of Europe with his concerns; for there are crimes for which the greatest talents can neither procure oblivion nor pardon ; and let the Duke of Otranto always re oJllect M. Fouche." • The author of a recently published work at Paris, entitled, 41 Letters on the War of Russia, in 1812," gives the following characteristic anecdote of Bona parte :—A few days before the passage of the Dere sina, Bonaparte was marching on foot, with all the marks of the greatest uneasiness arid the most lively agitation. The Prince of Neuchatel (Berthier) was some paces in advance of him, An Officer, Colonel F. attached to the Staff, was seen to come suddenly up and make a report to the Prince. Bonaparte, as• be was.conting up, overheard the words Aussixteand .Bes ; aims ' and repeatedly exclaimed, in an impatient tone, What are they discussing there I" Berthier ordered the Colonel to repeat his report; upon which the following dialogue ensued: M. de F.—" The Marshal has charged - me to come end give an account that the Russian army of Mol davia has arrived on the Beeesina, and has seined all the passages." • Bonaparte.—" That is not tree; it ia not true--it can't be so." M. de F.- 46 That two divisions of the enemy have seised the bridge, and already occupy the left bank, and that the river is not %efficiently from over to snake it practicable to pass on the ice." Bonaparte (in a rage).- 0 You lie I you lie kis " false. M. de F. (coldly, and raising his tone a little). — I was not commissioned to recuonoitie the enemy's positions; the Marshal sent site; to make this,report ; I perform my duty l" The yonng officer, who wit nessed the scene, adds, u Seeing Bonaparte shake his cane, I thought he meant to strike the Colonel ; but at the same time he leant backward, his legs spread asunder, his lett arm resting on his cane, gnashing his teeth, his look breathing fury, and looking up to Heave% he raised his right arm as if to threaten it. A cry 01 rage broke from him; he repeated his 1710+ isacitig gesture towards Heaven, and arstrophised is with. an expression as brief as energetic; the very woad was horrible blasphemy. I can safely say, that during my whole lite I never saw a more horrible issue than his at the •• 1 . . - P - rLiNDEIII M. UNISEts, AUGUST so. A letter from the Hague Informs us, 'that bt The . oew Tsaif of Custom House Duties, which is now nearly enlist/lite& the import duties on articles of foreign manufacture will be tiled sufficiently high to give the advantage of competition to our own *mu factures, particularly cottons, as well raw, as white or printed, or thread and cotton, or cottonettes, Btc. It is bored that India cottons, which pay in Eng land 60 or 70 per cent. as a duty on consumption, will here have an import duty laid on them double that of others, this would be a very wise measure,— One cannot render too'expensive the consumption of articles manufactured in countries with which an exchange can be established, and the productions of l which, when imported, among us, are detrimental to our own. • The Duke of Cambridge and the Duke of Kent are at this moment at Brussels, where there arrived yesterday an illustrious stranger, who travels incog nito, under the name of the Count of Marsfield, lie Out up at Wellington Hotel. It is observed on this occasion, that there are three King's sons here. While the States General are discussing the lega lity or illegality of the arrest of Simon, the French refugee, they write from Metz, says the Journal of Strasburg, that this too famous Simon has been deli vered up by the Prussians to the Preach Authorities. We learn that the calumnies and iadecent persona lities which enrich every number of the ?lain Jaime, have just given rise, as might be expected, to overt acts, which belong to the jurisdiction of the Corm tional Police, and the more as these scenes have pass ed in the Park itself, aid in the Coffee-houses. • AUGUST 31.—The persons who signed a request, addressed to his Majesty, to be authorised to form an association, destined to perpetuate the memory of the glorious day of June 18, 1815, hate received a most gracious answer, highly approving of the patriotic intention. The Duke of Wellington has hired a country house near CarnbrAy ; he is expected at his head quarters the day aftti to.monow. SEPTEMBER I.—Active and vigorous measures had been prep,►red, to repress the disorders committed in our environs. The Captain of the Marechauste col lecad above 400 men, as well troops of the line as MArachaesee, and ordered them to traverse the whole Forest of Soignees. They crossed the Forest in various directions, and all met with ad .nirable preti• Dion at the central point of Waterloo, bringing with them from 40 to 50 prisoners, who were found on the roads and in the woods, in contravention of the laws. Some were set at liberty, and the others deli. vesed to the competent Authorities. f•he amended Law concerning the Indirect Taxes has been passed, in the second Chamber of the States General. It seems that it has been judged necessary to calculate the new Indirect Tares upon. a supposed produce of 18 millions of Dutch florins. MENTZ, AUGUST 25. In future our garrison will be wholly eompnserl of troops of the same nation ; and every thing le. d: us to believe that it will be tke same with all the for tresses of the German Confederation. We had too much reason for alarm some days ago. for tie Sove reigns not to turn their attention to the inconveni. encies of a mixture of troops, though we enjoy the completest tranquillity, and harmony is re•establi4ed among the troops, whose discipline is remarkably excellent.

A Flanders Mail arrived last night, from which we have given extracts: A parcel of tierman Papers reached us this morn ing. By the accounts from Switzerland, it appears, that on the 19th ult. the Diet had the satisfaction to be informed, that the money vested in the English funds, and which had been put under sequestration while the sovereignty of Switzerlancrwas usurped by France, is now to be repaid, with ell the accruing dividends. The whole is to be applied in liquidation of the debts due by the States to private individuals. The Rhine still continues very high and covers a great extent of the level country. In APpensell, the moun tains are still covered with snow, at a season when doe flocks usually tree the high pastures. On the List ult. the Lake of Geneva was seven feet and a half above its common level. The three lakes of Neuchar tel, Morat, and Bienne, have so swelled as to unite into one, having then from eight to eleven feet, and inundated above 15,000 acres of land. In the Com mune of Jules above threanurths of the best land is under water, and in that of Champion about one half, and in other districts tae damage has been great. As might be expected front so extensive a calamity, many of the inhabitants have been reduced •to the greatest distress. A letter from Layback says, that the creation of the new kingdom of Illyria has caused great joy to the inhabitants. On the publication of the Decree, that city was spontaneously illuminated. VIENNA, AUGUST 23. Prince ?erori►e, of Montfort, passed through this city on the 20th, going to Hiimburg, to visit Ma dame Murat, his sister, *brace he wilt go to Bre.. men. Previously to his coming, there arrived at the CuitoM-House ISO packing-cases belonging to him, many of which ate said to contain works of Art of great. value. eaXokrti AUGUST SI. :SiOce_theretnrn.of the King, the works of the for tress of Koenigstein have been carrying on irithoet• interruption ; and none but those who are employed tl • titre pertnisiiott 'Otitis it. king intetas visit this mouth ott mount** known under the nernl.of Saxon Switzerland. STUTTGARD, AUGUST V. The Ministry have published a long Decree con cerniug the progress Of the negociations which have hitherto taken place to give a Constitution to the Kingdom,- addressed to the principal Authorities, and dated 22d August, 1816. The ohj:ct of this document is to rectify the false ideas entertained upon this topic by most of bis Majesty's subjects, which are spread and maintained even by the Bailiffs and Chiefs of Communes, and to put an end to the dis trust thus excited respecting the actions of his Ma jesty, which are dictated by the purest and most be neficent intentiuns. To-day we received the Paris Papers of Tuesday. The Melieu:mean Pirates have at length attacked the French Merchantmen in downright earnest, for the Naval Commander at Toulon has officially an nounced the fact. This gives tke lie direct to the unauthorized insinuations in the French Journals, that the Barbarians were Wendly to France and hos tile to England! The fact is, like " thieves who rob upon instinct," they make no distinctions. The Bar of TUNIS' has sent an Ambassador to the Pore! — The The object seems to be to get the latter to interfere with she Powers of Europe to spare Tunis. This ' mission, we apprehend, has been rather too long delayed. One of the excommunicated French Generals (Laminae) has been acquitted by the Council of War for an informality in his name. We' presume his acquittal is acquiesced nr by the Court, for there was no Wsrs royalism displayed in the pleadings against him. He will, probably return to France, therefore, and be taken again into favour. General CLAUSEL, of Bourdeaux notoriety, will be tried on Monday. He is also absent, but his treat ment of the Duchess cl'Angouleme entitles him to no favour. He has very prudently retired to America. By a letter front Madrid it appears, that the new expedition for the subjugation of South America has not sailed, nor is it known when it will. The Inde pendents, however,. are threatened with assailants of another kind—a Legion of Bishops! !...FERDINAND has found the herd of Monks and Friars so subser vient to his will, so ready not only to second, but to originate any measure calculated to enslave the people. that he has prepared a new Batch of them for South America. that the rek!: may be pursued with fire and brimstone, both here and hereafter. PARIS, SEPTEMBER S. The Council of War which tried General Laborde has dismissed the proceedings against him on the ground of a misnomer. Hie name was proved to ho De!Joule and not Laborde. . On Monday General Clatael will be tried in his' absence par costumes. We learn from Marseilles of the date of the 16th August, that Count Missiessy, who commands the Royal Navy at Toulon, has published the following notification I am informed by a latter which I have received from Algiers, dated 27th July last, that several pirate vessels with the black flag are cruizing in the Mediterranean and are making great ravages there. They have already plundered several ships and mur dered the crews. " Two of those Corsairs are already known : one of them Is single masted, carries three guns and SO men, and the ocher is a Brigantine carrying 10 gins and 50 men. It is thought they came (tom the Adriatic Oulph. ig Several King's ships are smiting for the protec tion of our commerce. shall increase the :umber the moment it appears possible, and send them to those seas where they are likely to be attacked." FART OF TUESDAY MORNING. COURIER A foreign Game contains the following details as to the progress of vaccination in the various parts of the Globe: •• The Ambassador from England to the Court of Ispahan announces, that the presumptive heir to the Crown, and 1500 persons of his suite. have been vaccinated with matter sent from Europe, and that in the city of Teheran. this salutary practice makes new progress daily. 66 Dr. Scott has -succeeded in vaccinating 40,000 prisons on the coast of Coromandel, and this opera tion has perfectly succeeded on all subjects. " The Negroes alone present some anomalies, which is ascribed to the nature of their skin. The vaccination has 'been renewed upon them five times before it took effect." The King of. the Netherlands has permitted seve ral Belgian Officers. who have obtained the Cross of the Legion of Honour, to continue that decoration. U. Joseph de Podinaniezki, Chamberlain to the Emperor of Austria, and Baron Paffendorf, Privy •Councillors to his Majesty, have arrived at Paris in the quality of Commissioners and Arbiters for . Aus tria, to the COonnission of Finances established at Paris. All the English Journalists relate that an English man bas been killed by the bayodets of the National Guards, on one of the Boulevards of Paris : this story, which is devoid of truth, pro►es that the Jour finalists of England baire v*ry faithless Correspondents at Paris. .. • ISAMU, AUGUST ts.

Mahomed Molncco, a *l'unisi.en, ha s an i, cd! in a Sardinian vessel—he continued his route fi e Rome. Several reports were spread immediately specting this personage, who seems to have scrod in Egypt at the time of the French expedition. H e is going to the Pope, on a missi.w from the B e y Tunis—he is also said to be employed by th e L upe. ror of Morocco, and sent by this Zlvereigl a l so t he Pope. At Rome he will have an interview xi the Foreign Ambassadors. The arrival of this personage has excited a p o d deal of cos.veraati :n. He has three persons in hn suite. skho spew him great respect. He vi.iied Governor, who furnished him with an escort for th e voyage. Mahomed seems to be S 6 years of age ; is small in stature, but his figure is agreeable ; speaks a kind of Italian which is easily understood We shall soon see what part he is going to play i ll ; L i diplomatic mission. NAPLES, AUC UST 12. On the 7th instant, at four P.M. a violent shack of an earthquake was felt, wl:ich msyk all th e en . virons of Vesuvius shake, and announced a new e nv . lion of this dreadful volcano. A few seconds alte r . wards two torrents of flame began to flare from th e summit of the Cratir, and took the direction, the o a , towards the Mauro, and the other towards the Ca. malduli, in the tracks of the old lava. Happily th e eruption ceased at night tall, whhout causing any other damage. Mr. Pinckney, the Minister from the United States, presented his credentials to his Majesty on the instant. Mr. Pinckney will afterwards proceed St. Petersbergh, as resident Amb,:s•ador. Some vessels from Corfu have brought us a Pre. donation from General Havi:and Smith, Pre7tleri pf the Commission of G tvcromerit estAblished by Thomas Islsit;ancl, which states the plague has titely ceased in Colin. This morning we received Baltimore rgers the 19th of July, but they contain no news of interest, being chiefly filled with observations on the Bank. paying in specie, the particular; of which we coma municated some time since : the c. , nsevence been, that specie, in the course of one week, fallen 3 per Cent. By letters this morning received from Naples the 15th ult. we learn that the o hole of the Arnetit squadron continued thcsc. Mr. Ply;caNav had dell. vered his credentials to the King, and some official notes had passed between them, the substince which *as, of course, only known by report, were, that the matter was likely to be accommodated by certain advantages to be granted to the Americas trade; other reports at Naples were, that either' money, or the Port of Syracuse in soveteignty naval port for the American scriadros, were tc given up. The Neapolitan Government would deavour to evade the questions altogether, upon phi that they ought to be settled by the Congrest Vienna. Tile PerxcE REGENT was to sleep, the first Ai; at Oxford, on his way to Warwickshire. Wednesday morning her MAJESTY. accompinied l the Pumas:as, went to Bagshot Park, on a visit ►, the Duke and Duchess of GrsucEstea, and teturned to the Castle in the evening.

Extract of a letter from Lisbon, dated Augur —" A French vessel has arrived here, wlitel boarded on the 9th ilistant by a polacre ship, off 9t. Vincent's.
