FRENCII PAPERS. PAttis, JULY Is. r We have received a letter from Lyons, dated 15th, which contains the following details: " General Moon Duvernet has been brought f ire t9e Prevotal Court. The first sitting took place this morning, and is not yet over. All the entrances to the Palace of Justice are guarded by horse aid foot, and no persons are admitted except by cards delivered for that purpose. As yet the Court has been. occupied only with reading the documents of the process. M. Mirnas, a - distinguished Advocate of the Lyons flap, and advantageously known for his political opiutons, is Counsel fur the prisoner". Yesterday the Court of Cessation heard die appeal of the authors,. printers, and publishers of The Naia Triedsre, against the jndgnsent of ate Coat of As. sine, given on the l nth of June, which condemned them to transportation. liouquot had withdrawn his appeal. M. Ponitier supported the eight reasons proposed for annulling the sentence by Dabenf. Dufey, Zeno. Bits and Laurent Beaupre. M. Gerand Duplessis, one of the Advocates General, refuted these reascns in a summary manner, and moved the rejection of the appeal. The Court decided that the process had toren regularly instituted, and therefore rejected the nrpeal. On leaving Lyons, the Duke of Angonleme an nounced that he would return on the 24th to that city, whence he will go to Vitry. His Royal ifigh nes. will 'afterwards visit the Eastern Department, • and probably will not return to Paris until the fete of St. Louis. A letter from Liege, dated July S, says---“A large cloud whit!, hovered yesterday over this town, and presented the view of an enormous mass in the fortes of a mountain, did not fail to excite the curiosity, of many persons, and to alarm all our old women, who still expect a shower of fire, and the end of the world On the 18th instant !" An Envoy from the Pope is very shortly expected at Paris, to treat of the affairs relative to the Clergy of France. It is further added, that the Cardinal Pa= will be entrusted with this important mission. • The Seine has fallen since yesterday, but the hurt ton is yet covered with clouds. COUttFRAY,JULY in. An inhabitant of this town, who arrived this morn ing from Ghent, witnessed a scene there which de serves to be known :—Yesterday, about nine in the evening, the trumpets of a regiment of cavalry which bad arrived during the day sounded a retreat, as is usual at the different quarters. The weather was loomy, the thunder roared, and flashes of lightning furrowed the dark clouds accumulated over the town, ...Suddenly cries, groans, tears, lamentations, were heard on every side. Three-fourths of the inhabi tants rushed fent) from their houses, and threw them- Selves on their knees in the streets and public places. It was not witliGueinfinite trouble that the cause of this extraordiaory terror was discovered. The pod 41kr of Ghent, persuaded that the end of the world NM at hand, believed they had heard the Smeutle rrerapd, which. accerdieg to Revelations, chap. x. v. 7. is to announce the last jr,./zetent. - Our townsman somewhat (piked thevn by remark ing that as the ceremony they had anticipated was to be accomFanied with great splendour, there was every reason to supp,se that it would take place in the day-time, ar.d in very fine weather.; and the rain which fell in torrents this morning bas complatly tranquillized them.

They contain some intelligence of painful interest respecting the weather, which has been ruinous to the agriculturist throughout the Continent. By the accounts in these Papers from the Turkish shores of the Mediterranean, it cannot be doubted that scenes of warfare and c nfthion may be ex pected farthwith in that quarter. The Turkish dy. nasty has long been tottering to its base; and now that the large revenues derived by it from the plates on the l African coml, are likely to be withdrawn, a dying effort may be expected oa the part of the Turks; to recover their ascendancy in eastern Europe. They have too many powerful neighbours however, to en ke them even to hope. An article from Turin states, that of all men the Jews hive least reason to complain of their present .eonclition. They are accused of having purchased the finest Castles and Estates in Italy from the Re. volutionary Governments, and of not having Even paid up the Instalments. cu rates% EXTRAORDINARY Or SATURDAY MORNING. We are assured that a new Royal Ordounance has been prepared on the service of the National Guard, mil its organisation; that the Officers of all ranks are named for fire years, like the Mayors, and various Municipal. Functionaries; that the Inspectors shall inspect the whole National Guards of their respective departments, but in no case cars command any but that of the arrondissement of the chief town; that the service shall always be directed by the Adminis trative Authority, and that the Inspectors shall pre mot ao his Royal Highness Monsieur, through the intermedience of the Prefect and Ministers of the In. tenor,' the candidates for the places of Officers, which his Royal Highness shall himself pram to the no mination of the King.

Most distressing intelligence Kis been received from Burgundy : nearly theAvhole of the beautiful plains of th 4 Saone are covered with water. Letters from Clamecy state,- that the rains in that district have been so,abundant, and the rivers have thereby been so swollift,. that twenty-two large rafts of timber have been swept away. Yesterday evening an individual presented himself, without his hat, and with an extravagant air. at the. posts of the National Guards, situated on the Bou 7 levaid du Temple. and said—" I have killed my wife. and I surrender myself." On the Commissary of Police proceeding to the spot, the first person he met was the very woman said to be killed. It turned out that the husband was insane. We continue to receive the most distressing news from Germany respecting the gloomy weather which soems to afflict all Europe. In Saxony, in the Grand Duch/ of Wuytzhurg, in the fertile yanks of the Rhone Geberg, the agriculturist has almost no hopes of kharvest. The snows of winter stiff cover the mountains. IkSwit.zertind. the Birs and the Birsig have .overflown their b4nks, swept away their bridges, .and inundated their plains. The Canton of bask has suffered most dreadfully. In the plains the corn and potAtnes are under water. The high grounds are abase untouched by the inundation. This cala mity appears almost gtneral, and all travellers assert that it has been experienced in Turkey, Italy, Ger many, and in the Eastern part of Eurcipe.

(Signed) LOUIS. RAGUSA, JUIN 1. We are tranquil, and yet not exempt from fear. The • Montenegrins are at our gates, and we can scarcely keep them back. They ace discontented men always ready for a eveji de main, and their chiefs are to be appeased by presents only. Soon it will cost us less to defend ourselves than to live in peace. We expect some Austrian troops soon. The Emperor of Austria has granted great priv leges to the Montenegrin Bishop ; but the latter is not always muter of his subjects, to whom be is often obliged to make magnificent promises which he cannot perform. We are assured that a Montenegrin Chief has of fered to the Pacha of .14111112 to join him with his troops, in his defence against the English. It is be yond doubt that the Turks have spies in the country. They take them from among the Jews, who, for what reason we know not, always shew much more attach mein for the Mahonsetans than for the Christians, We are dreadfully in want here of wool and cloths. Oar sheep all perished here last year,• and very few staffs have arrived from Europe. TUILIN JULY 10. His Majesty has folly confirmed the arrangement proposed to him for the.confirmation of the sale of j the Hotel for the Custom House, which was put op to sale by the Usurper's Government. This act of the 'Sing is a new pledge of his respect for the Treaty of Paris, and the Congress of Vienna, by which the sales of national domains were confirmed. If some Jaws havathought proper.to complain that they were not maintained's the enjoyment of the property , they acquired under the Revolutioaary Government, it is because aftei having plated by circumstances, and purchased at a very low prim, they had not even ful filled the conditions of their contracts s they eluded the payments, which left to the Government d i e right of declaring the acts of the sale nIU. . ,The Jews me perhaps the only persons who have a* reason 10 complaia of the times in which we live.

The war between the Royalists and Patriots in New Spain is completely that of extermination, either party seldom affording any quarter, unless it be given for the purpose of infficting cruelties. almost unheard of ; and I am sorry to learn that the Roya list party have committed same of the most unpro yoked and horrible massacres I ever heard of. A British vessel, a schooner from Halifax, for the pur. pose of trade, had gone down to the mouth of the river Osinoco.and whilst sailing along the coast, was attacked by a taw-boat, who first demanded who they were ? and not receiving a satisfactory answer, they boarded, plundered, and put every oat oa board of her to death, after they had surrendered themselves prisoners. Another small vessel from Trinidad shared the same fate. Not more than three weeks since, several row-boats landed on the little Island of Pato, near the northern Bocas, on the entrance into the Galph of Pares, and which belongs to the British. 'the inhabitants fled into the woods, whilst these manrauders plundered their houses, and carried off every thing of vale/ or use which they conk' come, at. When they could find nothing more, and one or two of the distressed inhabitants had come in from their hiding places in the woods, to save themselves and children from perishing with hunger, these ova. chesous and inhuman barbarians offered, through them, to all tke inhabitants, not only peaceable pos. session of their money and property, but protection also. From this declaration held out, all came in immediately ; and no sootier were the unhappy crea tures in th.ir power, than they put aU to death, ex- I cept a very few, who were fortunate enough to escape. They put some to death by ericifyiak 44 A boat from the Island was carrying over to Trinidad the little remains of some stock a few days , artery/aids, when she was attacked by a row-boat. and having tied two of their men back to back, cut off their heads, and threw them into the sea: tan more were tied with their hands behind their backs, and thrown overboard ; one was fortunate enough to get his hands loose—he sought for his companion, but he had sunk ; he himself was however enabled to reach the shore, and came so Trinidad a few kays afterwards, where I sire him, with the marks of the cords still on his arms. " His Majesty's brig CHILDERS, being in the Golph of Parma, was the fortunate means of saving about 150 women and children, picked up in an open bolt near the village of Geria, from which they had fled the day previously. This village, or town, belonged to the Royalists, and all the forces in it had marched, to a place distant some leagues, in order to oppose the Patriots. Previously to the departure of the troops, the Inhabitants had conveyed their most va luable property on board of three small vessels, for fear of the runaway Negroes and Patriots, coming unawares from the woods, should plunder them : the great bulk of the people had also embarked, ex cept some more wealthy, who were enabled to follow the army. The troops bad only been gone one day, when these vessels were captured off the coast by some row•beats, and all the men who would not I join them, except two or three very infirm, were taken on shore and butchered, in the same MIUMITAIS tie opposite potty did theirs when in their power. Oae of the small vessels, or rather an open boat, preying leaky, and otherwise disabled, the remains of these poor wrenches were crouded into her, and in that state picked vp by the above man of war, on board of which they experienced every humane attention which their forlorn and wretched stato required, till they were landed at the Port of Spain in Trinidad, where his Excellency Sir RALPH WOODIORH. the Governor, afforded every desistance in his power to their dis. tressed condition. 44 This town of. Geria has been four times alter. natelY . in the possession of Riyalists and Patriots within the two last years and a half, and you can easily suppose what a scene of misery and anxiety these poor people, must constantly be exposed ' . to, and by what uncertain tenures they must hold their' pro. peaty.

The Royalists collected 5,000 men to attack that position, occupied by the Patriots ; twice they attacked ani twice were their assaults repulsed with pr:at !co; not being able to succeed by open force, they 'had recoune to intrigue and seduction.
