(Signed) " LOWS. Lams, Minister of the Ititerior." the Austrian troops cantonect in Alsacia are going o form an encampment, previous to the grand field days which are to take place. A new Lancasterian School, for boys and girls, has been established on the premises belonging to Messrs. DeLessert, Rue Coq•Saint-Jean, No. 5. The boys learn reading, writing, cyphering, and Latin ; the girls, b es ides reading, writing, and arithmetic, are taught every kind of needlework and embroidery. The Prefect of the Seine was pleased to preside at the distribution of the prizes last Thursday. Mr. Moran, who first brought into France, at his ova expense, the Lancasterian system of education, bad the honour to inspire the Baron De Lessert with the philanthropic idea he and his brothers have adopted. In fact, all the schools that have been set ep in. France on this system, ate entirely owing to the great and continued exertions Mr. Moran kas displayed for upwards of fifteen months, and by his constantly urging those persons to act, who could favour and second his benevolent intentions, by imparting knowledge to the lower classes of society, and directing them by a moral tendency to habits of industry and good behaviour. It was under tile auspices of his Grace the Duke de la Clime, lately his Majesty's Ambassador in London, and the Baron de Montesquiou, formerly Minister of the In terior, that this great work was begun. These noble and benevolent minds encouraged Mr. Moran in his undertaking, with all that zeal which their country's good, and the int: rest and welfare of his M.jesty's Government, has ever inspired them. For several days past the most absurd reports have been circulated by some evil.disposed persons, and as eagerly believed and-repeated in the city by a set of knaves and fools: they would have it that there was a camp to be established in the plains of St. Denis, to assemble a number of English troops, that a num. ber of lodgings were bespoke for English Officers, &c. &c. The inhabitants of' St. Denis stared when questioned about the matter, and laugh at the Pari sian credulity. RAVENNA, AUGUST 21. Every day we hear of new horrors caused by the pirates. The Pope has armed several vessels ; but is it not faniishing new arms to the barbarians, to oppose them with feeble means of defence ? OTRANTO, AUGUST 21. the pirates have made, on the coast of the Golph of Matheclonia, two unexpected landings, and suc ceeded by means of false colours and the appearance of their vessels (which are foreign built) in dllaying all apprehensions. They burnt all the fishing•boats for five miles round, and carried off 133 men, women, and childten. Measures have been taken to prevent a similar surptize. CETTE, AUGUST 21. The polacre La Desirie, Captain Talon, from Martinique, was visited on the 7th inst. (being then 36° '' of N. latitude, and 14° 16' W. longitude) by the corvette La Capulaca, from the southern provinces of the Rio de la Plata, armed as a privateer, corn mantled by Capt. Diego Chayston, a Spanish Insur gent Lieutenant-Colonel. The French Captain was asked if he could exchange any provisions; and on answering in the negative, he was visited by the Spa niards. He found, however, that they did not mean to disturb the French commerce: their . batredis di rected against the English, and the tyranny they ex ercise on the seas. They do not confine themselves to the carrying off Spanish vessels : they favour smuggling on all parts of the coast, and thereby they obtain provisions and warlike stores. • WINDSOR, Stamm= 9.—Yesterday the Duchess of YORK arrived at the Castle from Oatlands.

SOUTH Alailei; Jamaica Papers in the 4th of July arrived this morning, brought by the Nocton packet. The following important comthunication from General DOLIVAIt was receive,' by a Gentleman in the City ; FOUTH AMERLCA, JUNE 10. " I did myself the pleasure of addressing you from the Island of Margarita, via St. Thomas's, giving you an account of the first success of pur Ex pedition, from the time we kit Aux-Caycs, which I hope has been duly received by you. I now resume my pen, with more satisfaction, to give you a further account of those successes, which, through the inter- Idrence of the GREAT DISPOSER of all events, bas continued to bless the arms of the Republic. " On the 25th of last month our squadron sailed from Islargaritta, and after a long passage of six days, owing to the rapidity of the current, anchored before the high battery of Santa Rosa, in Cat-open°, where tie Spanish flag was displayed, as well as on board the vessels in the harbour, all of whom hauled under the battery. " At the break of day next morning, I summoned the town and forts to surrender, or otherwise it should be assaulted, when I should not be able to answer for the effusion of blood, which it was my original in tention to spare as much as lay in my power, but my summons was negatived by the Commandant. " Thus situated, I had no other alternative than the immediate disembarkation of the troops, which was immediately performed under the orders of Major. General KIM I General Pier and Colonel Soublete directing their operations to the left of the town, while the squadron kept up a fire of round and grape on the beach and centre of the town. " The troops under the command of the above officers gallantly advanced, and in a very short time took the principal heights which commanded the town, driving the enemy from their positions with continued success and no loss ! The Spanish batte ries and field-pieces the whole time playing on the squadron and troops, is probably one of the greatest instances of such a disembarkation without loss. 44 General Pier took the rear of the enemy, where he was least expected, with the intention of taking the heights which commanded the passes and vicinity , of the town, in which he completely succeeded; and s after an action of two hours, I had 'the pleasure of seeing the Republican colours flying triumphant on all the posts of Carupano. Only a few of our men were wounded, and that slightly. Our victory was complete, and the flight cf the enemy shameful, as they had the greatest advantage in every thing. 4 ‘ AU the Spaniards possessed fell into our power, as well as a great quantity of provisions, &c. and a beautiful brig and schooner, laden with merchandise, the former well fumed and equipped, named the Indio Bello, and the latter la Fortuna. In conse quence of the occupation of Carupano by our troops, the Spaniards have abandoned from Carlaco to Gui. ria, and our communications to Maturia are expedited by land and the Golfo Triste. 14 I hope a short time only will be required to fa cilitate our communications. I have the satisfaction to enclose you the regular bulletins, proclamations, &e. as well as an intercepted Spanish document, which will give you some idea of the men whose ty ranny has so long oppressed the Continent of South America."---Kassava Gaunt, .laly 6. Letters were received yesterday from St. Jago, stating the arrival there of the Comto sloop of war. &Mx trifling defects were to be remedied in the vessel, and it was expected that in a few days she would sail, to commence the arduous task of exploring the river 'Lair, or Congo, on the African coast. Captain Tooter, his Officers and Min, are represented as being in good health and spirits, and very anxious to proceed on their voyage. Many years ago, the late Sir CHALONZR (then Cap tain) OGLE, was sent in the Swallow man ef war to the coast of Afi ica, in quest of Romani, the pirate : he landed at Whydah, once a flourishing and inde pendent kingdom, but now a maritime province of the Dahoman empire, and acquainted the King with the purpose of his errand. The King told him, if he would secure that rascal ROBERTS, who had long in fested his coast, he would give him as a reward 56 lbs. of gold dust, pointing to an half hundred weight that lay near him, which was to ascertain the quan tity. Captain OGLE fell in with and took ROBERTS'S ship, the Royal Fortune, at Cape Lopez. Reimers was killed in the engagement the pirates were tried and condemned at Cape Coast, where most of them were executed, except half a dozen who were hanged at Whydah, when the King discharged ‘ bis promise, by giving . to the Captain the handsome reward he had premised him. Mr. SHARP, cl• ck and watch-maker, of Northamp ton, was sent for by a resident of that town on Friday last to' epair a dock; on taking it down, to his great surprise, he discovered that a mouse had actually made its nest in the works, and that this was the only cause of the clock's stopping. Saturday, about twelve o'clock, a servant if Mr. Boories, of Hornsey, was stoned by three men un der the Highgate Archway, and robbed of a parcel he bad under his arm, his watch, and some silver. Saturday, at one o'clock, John Williams and Dinah Riddleford, the two unfortunate criminals left for execution atGloucester, were turned off from the new drop . over the entrance gate of the prison, in the pre sence of an immense concourse of spectators.
