r . ' 1 FRENCH PdTERS. I PARIS, JANUARY rt. There was an assembly and concert yesterday at the Duke of Wellington's. The company was very numerous :end brilliant. _ _ Letters from Calais state, that on the 18th, many transport vessels, with English troops on board, re entered that port, after having experienced, during twenty-four hours, the most tempestuous weather. Most of the horses perished, and a number of men were swept away by the waves. If we may credit letters from Frankfort, M. de Lavalette has got to Munich—he escaped from Fr.tnce through Switzerland, and along the Lake of Constance. Sir Robert Wilson still has permission to see his, wile; he is also allowed to walk in the court of the prison, and to write and receive letters. • There is still a park of artillery established at the end of La Chapelle, on the road to St. Denis. The English soldiers who have the guard of these pieces are lodged in the village. The inhabitants are not obliged to find them provisions. Several German journals state that` the Kings of Bavaria and Wurtemberg, and the Grand Dulre of Baden, have concluded an alliance for the purpose of Solemnly guaranteeing the States which they at pre sent possess. 'nit Venus de Medici: has made its solemn entry into Florence, it arrived on the 3d, preceded by a bril liant suite, the principal pictures of the Italian School, the Chefs d'oeuvre of Raphael, Michael Angelo, Guido, Salvator Rosa, Andre del Sono and Julio Romano, served for the escort. The wh ole popula tion went out to meet them. If any thing can console us for our losses in the arts, it would be to see these monuments pass into the hands of an idolatrous pea. ple, whose enlightened enthusiasm promises a gious care for their preservation. General Colbert, who was arrested and setat liberty by order of Government, has obtained permission to retire to a foreign state. He has quitted the capital. It is said that the King, in commemoration of the 21st January, has set at liberty the prisoners for debt under the sum of 20,01 1 0 francs, who, from their per sonal qualities, or from the situation of their families, had any claim to the benevolence of his Majesty. Since the return of the Emperor Alexander into capital, he has made many alterations in the eiTquette of his Coon. The Imperial table is served at two o'clock, instead of four. The Emperor gene rally rises at five o'clock, and is occupied all day. Madame, the Duchess of Angouleme, on her re arm from the funeral ceremony at St. Denis, received no company. She retired to her apartments, and did not attend the dinner of the King. The If:Bowing is the Address of the Chamber of Deputies to the King on the commemoration of the 21st of Janutry : Seca—Your f tit l , f u l subjects of the Chamber of Deputes present to your M it:sty a very painful ho. mage. Ice order to spare Fiance the crime: of vtlitch this day renews tt a memory, Louis XVI. your an. gust would have app:ltled to Lis people. Attar %went.) -three years of servitude and of calami ties, the French people, restored to liberty and to it * lf, can at last reply:to the appeal ot its - Ring. We come in its name; in the face of Europe, in plesei,ce of the revered throne of Henry IV. arid of St. Louis, to disavow that atrocity. No, Sire, it was not the crime of France. We attest, in support of this, the confidence of the martyr King, the innumerable vic tims sacrifice followed his, the transports which I rut return excited; we call to witness the honor wnic!i the authors of that crime inspire in the nation. 4 , Tiwy thought to annihilate the ancient compact which tomes our destinies to your august family ; the. y have rendered it mere sacred. May we be per mated, Sire, now to renew the inviolable engage ment, in order to console us for the recollections winch that horrible day recals ; permit us, the organs 01 France, in mourning, to say to you, Sire, we have pot degenerated from the loyalty of our ancestors. ' 1 As long as your illustrious race shall exist, we will be faithful to it : never will we recognize for our le g i t imate Kings any Princes except those of your house, and on whom the order of primogeniture shall impress that character. We swear it before Gov , and before men. Let the French name be lost in oblivion rather than we should betray this oath of honour. 4 , We lay it, Sire, at your feet, and supplicate your Majesty to ordain that, engraved on brass, and sub scribel by all the Members of the Chamber of Depu-' ties, it may be attached to that expiatory monument which the national grief is preparing, in order to transmit to posterity the most distant, at once, the protest of the French people against the murder of 21 st January, and the solemn testimony of the senti ments which animate us." GENOA, DECEMBER so. - 6everal works have been seized, the principles of wllich seemed dangerons, and tending to shake the fidelity due to our Sovereign. I'ERIGUEUX, JANUARY 17. The first permanent Council of War of Livision has ucalimoutly condemned, in its sitting of the 1‘2:11 of this mimtli, to two years confinement in irons, J. 1,11 Joseph Pachet, a soldier of the first squadron of the Artillery Train, who was found guilty of ut turn% seditious cries, of acts of violence, and of an attempt against the safety of personal liberty. Mili tary d• grAdatien is the consequence of the conoem na:ion to be confined in irons; accordingly,. the said Pacliet • has been publicly degraded to-day, in the presence of the troops who are now at Perigueuz. AUCH, JANUARY 15. Orders have been given to prosecute with vigour in departmen!, 31i the soldiers who have been pro. Ti onilLed .capable of re•entering the service, by the Council of Examination, and who have not gone bet ore the Colonel of the departmental legiou at the expiration of the permissions granted to them, or %110 have quitted the said legwn alter having been ad witted into it. These soldiers, if they do not imme eli.rtely return to their duty, will be first of all reported in order to be ar rested, and then they will be carried before the Council of Wa r of the Division, who will adjudge the penalties pronounced by the law. FRANKFORT, JANUARY 10. It is reported tere that the Emperor of Austria has A,Rwed the conduct of his Generals, who °cm ri;:d et part of the Grand Duchy of Wen, and that he has ordered them to evaettate that territory forth with. , Jaw*air 17.—The associations between Austria and Bavaria still continue at Munich, but without much activity. It is now said that the Diet of the Confederation will be opened on the 2d of next month, with much solemnity. ' STRASBURGH, JANUARY 17. The rage for denunciations still prevails in this De partment, and it is not astonishing that many names are often put at the bottom of these sort of pieces, for the inhabitants of the country, who are naturally credulous, are often but too much disposed to submit to be directed by one of those artful persons, who' conceal their views of personal interest under the appearance of the public good. The Prefect was in formed, that in a Commune one of these purturba tors collected signatures to denounce the Local Au thorities, and to solicit the restoration of those who were elected during the usurpation, and who were afterwards removed in consequence of the Orden nonce of the 28th of July. He went on with this business, and when he presented himself this morn -1 ing at the audience, he was arrested as an instigator I of the quarrels of the Commune, and conducts tc. prison. The Prefect of the Department having b:en in formed that certain individuals ran about the country pretending to be authorised ,to collect vows lor the choice of Mayors, troubling good citizens, exciting hatreds, and particularly those which might have re ligion for their object, has ordered the gend.irmerie to arrest, and carry before him, all who should pretend to be entrusted with such 41 mission. The Mayors are invited to report them immediately to the superior authorities. FLANDERS MAIL. BROSSELS, JANUARY al. The Princess of Nassau Wellbourg, Louisa Isa bella Alexandrina, has died suddenly, on receiving the news of the death of her illustrious consort. JANUARY 22—M. de Sieyes, who was a Member of the Constituent Assembly of the Convention, and of the Executive Directory, has just arrived at Brussels. ROME, JANUARY 7. - - His Holiness has granted an audience to X.nrd Exmouth, Commander of the English forces. his General (Admiral), accompanied by Lord WO Bentinck, met his Holiness in the gardens the Vatican, and was presented to him. Hi& Eminence the Cardinal Secretary of State has since had s..:vt:ral conferences with the two Lords. It is affirmed, that in a Congregation field on the 2d instant, his Holiness slit wed the necessity of con. yoking a Cuncil to reAul.de the interests of the Catholics in the different States of Eutopc. It is presumed that Austria, and England are favourable to this project. Our Secretary of state's Department is extremely occupied in ktepinr , pee with all the negociattoss which employ the Cabiiiets of Europe. It seems that the Powers, the respect and homage due to the Holy See, will not re:Afire to it more than was agreed upon at ihe Congress of Vienna. It is to be presumed, therefore, that the reclamations of the Cow t of Rome fur rue Enclaves which it hiring:lly possessed in foreign countries will be of u' avail. MUNICH, JANUARY 14. Our relations with the Court of Vienna are less glut my than they were last week, and there is reason to hope that all the differences will be adjusted. The Bavarian troop, which have teen assembled in great numbers on the Inn and the S.ilza, from Passau to Upper Salzbcurg, to pr:vent any occupa tion of our Eastern provinces by the Austrians, re. main Very quiet in their positions, as do the Austrians on their side.

The Paris Papers of the 22d arrived last night.-1 Their contents are of little importance, being chiefly details respecting the ceremony of the 20th, of which we have already given the particulars from the Me aiteur of the 21st. Sir ROBERT WILSON IS allowed to see his wife, to walk in the court of the prison, and to write and receive letters. Such accounts as the Journals are agowed to publish from the Interior, indicate rather an unsettled state of the public mind. Last night a Flanders Mail also arrived. The symptoms of an approaching rupture between Austria and Bavaria are passing away, and promising hopes of an amicat>le adjustment of the points in dispute are entertained. An article from Rome states, that in a Congrega tion held on the 2d instant, the POPE urged the ne cessity of convoking a Council to regulate the inbTetts of the Catholics in the dferent States of Europs j and reports that Austria andf..ngland arefavaarabl s . ta this project. We can assure our Readers that so fat as this is meant to convey an idea that the proceedings of the leading Powers will be at all influenced by any measures concocted or recommended from tl:ie Pont or his Cnngregaiioa, it is wliolly nufounded In fact the reigning Powers ban resolved never again to allow the priesthood to give them laws and the more these men shall labour to regain the sovereignty over the Kings of the'Earth, the more will they en force the necessity of restraints ',pow their pretensions. Our private letters announce that the cotton manu facturers of the Netherlands are under considerable alarm, lest their Government should abrogate a Decree of October 1814, which imposed a duty of ten per Ceat. on cotton goods imported from Great Britain. They have prisented a remonstrance to their Sovereign on the subject, in which they state that utter ruin to their establishments will be the consequence of lowering the duties on the importa tion of . British cottons. It appears that a report of this kind has been recently very prevalent in the Netherlands. The following are extracts from Brussels Papers received this morning t BRUSSELS, JANUARY to. • , The positions to be occupied by the Duke of Wel lington's army seem to be not entirely fixed. The Danish troops, which at first received orders to march ;o Bouchain, have now received another destination, and are matching to Artois. Other Saxon troops are armed in Picardy, where they will pass 'the winter. The Hanoverians are collecting about Conde, while the English arrive successively at Peronne, Cambray, and Valenciennes. The Russian troops remain in the garrisons which they occupied at the beginning of the month. The British troops still continue to be embarked at Calais, where there is a small vessel lying for the purpose of conveying the Duke of Wellington to Dover. _ . We remark with pleasure, that commerce begins to revive in all parts of these provinces. The har bours of Antwerp and (Mend arc full of national and foreign ships. Our manufactories are in full employment, and our commercial intercourse with ' Lower Germany is very great. The cloth manu factories of Limburg can hardly work quick enough to supply the great demand upon them. HAGUE, JANUARY 21. Last Thursday evening their Majesties received the congratulations on the marriage of the Prince of Orange with the Archduchess Anne; and on Friday the same ceremony took place, at their Highness's the Princesses Dowager mother and sister of his Majesty. The number of persons presented on both occasions was very great, as well of the civil and military classes as of tho clergy: The Ladies were dressed with a magnificence which we have not witnessed of late. A solemn Funeral Service as performed yester day in the French Chapel, in memory of King Louis XV 1. HAGUE, JANUARY s 2. Hi; Majesty's squadron under Admiral Brcyskes arrived on the 18th of November at Porto Pray°, in the Island of St. Jag°, having made the voyage from the Texel to the Cape de Verd Islands in less than three weeks—all on board in good health. HAGUE, JANUARY 23. His Majesty has published a very ►ong Decree for the encouragement of the Greenland Fishery. Vari. ous premiums are offered by this Decree, and first, one of 4000 florins for the owners of the 1 ? first ships of 150 to 200 tons burden, which between the Ist January, 1815, and the Ist January, 1818, with a complete fleet of six or seven sloops with from 34 to 40 men on board, shall sail from the ports of the Netherlands to the Whale or Seal Fishery for the ac count of the inhabitants of those provinces. Every ship sailing from the ports of those provinces for the Greenland and Davis Straits Fisheries, shall, in case of its returning to port with more than 100 barrels of oil, receive an indemnity of 50 florins for every bar rel wanting to complete that number, on condition that said ship has remained in Greenland in above 72 degrees till the '7th July, and in Davis Straits above 65 degrees till the 10th July, and has therefore been a sufficient time on thrspot to have taken some fish, and then, without touching at any foreign port (ex cept in case of the utmost necessity), shall bring all the fat it has procured into one of the ports of this .kingdom. Cliere follow the particular circum stances in which ships are, or are not entitled to the curium, and all the formalities to be observed by those who claim those premiums.] PE rERSEURGH, JANUARY 2. usAs4 HlB MALES I'Y THE EMPEROR TO THE SENATE.

" Being returned, alter a happy conclusion of the external affairs of Europe, to the Empire which Gop has entrusted to us, we have been intormed by seve ral nations (probably notices) complaints and reports of the following circumstances. The religioui order of the Jesuits of the Roman Catholic Church had beep abolished by a Bull of the Pape. In consequence of this measure, the Jesuits were expelled not only from the States of the Church, but from all other countries; they were not permitted to rtrain any where. Russia alone, constantly guided by sentiments of humanity and toleration, retained them in her territory, gave them an asylum, and in. sired then; tranquillity under her powerful protec ' tion. She did not oppose any obstacle to the free exercise of their worship ; she did not deter them from it, either by force, persuasion, or seduction; but in return, she thought she might'expett from them fidelity, attachment, and utility.
