A great number of works of art (our property), which are now come back from Paris, are already collected at Piitsdam ; and it is affirmed, that they will all be united in a public exhibition, the profits of .which are designed f or the soldiers wounded in France.

One of our Journals has.the following paragraph 46 As the Prussians advance into the Departments assigned them in Trance, the disarming of the citizens is executed with great promptitude. As soon as the Order is published to deliver up arms of every descrip tion, they must be brought in ; when this, has been done rigorous domiciliary visits are made, and if a citizen or peasant has retained and concealed any arms, the severest_ punishments are the consequence. In sevet.4l cases, the person guilty of such conceal ment has been sentenced to death,, and the sentence immediately executed : thus,' according to the assu rance of an eye-witness, a peasant, near Nantes, in whose b. d a musket was found concealed, was im meth itely shot in the presence of General Tippels Kio.heo. For the rest, the Pruuians observe the strictest discipline. • PARIS,, SEPTEMBER 11. (FROM A LETTER.) It is affirmed that Prince Hardenberg has present ed - to Prince Talleyrand, in the name of his Cotirt, a - very energetic Note. He points in this Note,, with the profound penetration of a Statesman, the evasions and the arts that are employed in order to save the hated supporters of Robespierre, and the guilty prin cipal agents of Bonaparte, from the vengeance or Europe l and to bring on a state of things which ,carmot he snflered, and would overthrow all the principles of repose. All weil-di.posed persons re joice in the deep penetration, and the beneficial firm. mess of the Prussian Cabinet. The present occupation of France by foreign armies wiil probably cure us fur sonic time to come of a love of war. We wanted this second vish, that we might grow a little just and reasonable. In our impertinent vanity, we last year ascribed the moderation of the Allied Sovereigns and their troops to the fear with which we inspired them. Though we had been vanquished this year, our con; querors have m u le us feel that they understand the right of war, and know how to exercise it. • if our situation, in spite of oily unusual burdens, is at alt tolerable, swe owe this to the humanity and wisdom of the Leaders, and particularly to the sense of reli. glow which actuates the, foreign troops. Our victories cost other nations so many tears, because our armies' vete click composed of soldiers who were corrupt,l and without religion. FROM THE FRENCH FRONTIERS, SEPT.i Several copies of the following Declaration have been sent by the General of the Vendean army in' manuscript, and with the General's own signature, to; a Prussian Officer, at the head.qu,irters on this side of the Loire. The following are litetally the contents': a The General and °dicers of the Vendean army of Anjou, being unable to suppress their just indig. ti:itiou at the assertion of their faithless enemies, that it is their intention to unite their blameless army with the troops of the Usurper, do unanimously declare, that it is an infamous calumny to dare to say that all the Vendean Chiefs have offered to march in common with die rebels oho have attempted to overturn the throne of St. Louis against' the friendly Powers, ,who &Co generously offer their arms to re-establish it. We here renew the solemn declaration ; we never nego tiated with the enemies of our King ; we have. all sworn to i:efend him to our latest breath, and this - ouch we shall know how to maintain, "At the Head-quarters at &Maple*, July 25.

COPENHAUX,,SEPTIiMBER In the Norwegian Diet, on the. 9th of August, it was decided, that for the King's Household 64,00) Specie dollars should be assigned; for his Royal Highness the Crown Prince 62,000 dollars ; and for his Royal Highnesa the Hereditary Prince s 16,000 doll2rs. The Stocks keep gradually rising, just as they did at the close of the first American War, when the 5 per Cent. Consols. progressively rose to 104; and enasidering that we are now at peace with all the World—tbe large Foreign Orders which have already produced a bustle in our manufacturing towns un known for twenty years past—the daily operation of the Sioiciog Fund, and the immense purchases made by our continental neii,hbours, we shall not be sur prised In a taw weeks to find the Consols the same price they were at before BONAPARTIL was sent to LibJ, which was 73, and it so, it will add upwards of 30 per cent. to the value of the three Prises of 450,000, 4 Prizes of 420,000, and all the other Stock Trials!' in the present novel Lottery, as Gevernmellt is bound to transfer them to the fortunate Holders at the very low price Mr. /31sit contracted for, which was 56; therefore eery Adventurer now has an in-' creasing advantage never known in any former Lot tery, And 'all Ac Capitals maybe slava the 7th of November. , PREAVN PAPARS. PAM, sErriMmt The lifsressro *copses us of attocanig the COIllillU• &sal Party. Thie-eharge must appear very Absurd to readers, who by Corsitiferise uuderstand that 'under which we live; who regard Royalist mid Constitutional as synonimous, and who are sensible that we perse veringly defend the Constitutional Liberty fixed by the Constitutional Charter. The charge of the Mortars presents however a definite sense, to discover which it is only necessary rightly to comprehend the cant of our adversaries. They mean by Constitutional Party, that faction whose means have been painted with so much ex.iggeration in a well known report. That Constitutional Party we are proud of attacking, and if the Mawr' wishes to undertake its defence, we cannot but on that account congratulate the Party and the 150 readers of the Mauro. Marseilles is proud to boast, that in spite of the system of calumny to which this city has been ex posed, no reproach is due to the inhabitants. It cah oot be too often repeated, that since the expulsion of our oppressors and the King again set his foot on the French soil, no act of violence has been committed in Marseilles. No person has been persecuted for his. opinions, and all that has been inserted in the news papers, respecting pretended troubles at Marseilles, is, atrociously false. The authors of these calumnies are pretty well known, notwithstanding the mystery in which they envelope themselves., When some farther proofs of the schemes resorted to for mislead. in the Journalists and the authorities shall be ob. tamed, a new kind of action will be instituted before the Tribunals, that of a , judicial process for the punishment of the calumnuttors of a whole tows.— ( Belairear Marteillais.) A Journal, which affects to be very well intention ed, contains the following article : 44 Letters from Figueroa state, that the famous partizan, Pujol, a native of Spain, whom Marshals Angereau, Macdonald, and Sachet .employed,in the war in Catalonia, and whom the French Government kept in its pay, has been delivered up to the General of the Spanish army, who ordered him to be hanged. Eight of his Officers and sub-officers who have also been delivered up, expect to experience the same fate." Who would not suppose that this statement related to we of those-ordinaty refugees who are entitled to the protection of every Government when persecuted by their owo ? The following. however; is the in formation communicated to us respecting this man, in favour of whom it is certainly less wished to excite an interest, than to render odious the Governmeut that authorised delivering him up : " Having committed crimes in his own country, he fled to France, and served Bonaparte in his war in the Peninsula. He organised a band of all the most barbarous and hardened wretches he could col lect in France and Spain. At the head of these assassins there was no crime he hesitated to commit. To hang, crucify, nail to walls, and roast at slow fires, persons of every age and sex, were his ordinary pastimes. A part of his own family, including his father and brother, were sacrificed by him. In Iltoussillon and Catalonia his name is devoted to uui. venal execration. and its mention makes the inhabi tants shudJer with horror." A letter has recently been communicated to us, dated the 18th June, 1780, written by the Widow Bonaparte to . the'Ceunt de Brienne, Minister of War, requesting him to grant her fourth sod (Louis) a elate is a royal military academy. This laity, whose fecundity has proved so fatal to Fiance, mentions her numerous family, consisting of eight children, her quality of widow of a man (who had always faithfully served his King), and finally the conduct of her second son (Napoleon), who was admitted in 1778 to the academy of Brienne, and had shared the kindness of the King , and placed himself in a situa tion to serve him. She calls to mind that M. Bona-; parte, her husband, had five years previously.brought to Paris her third son (Lucien), in the hope that he might obtain at Brienne the plate of his brother Na poleon, who was on the point of quitting it ; but that this hope had been frustrated, and the child cs was still a charge on his parents." She complains of not having the means of giving to so many chil dren an education suited to their rank, and expresses regret at being unable to place them in situations in which they might serve his Majesty. She finishes by prostrating herself at the loot of the throne, and pro mising to M. Brienne that " eight pupils shall be the organs of the prayers which she will address to Hea ven for the King's preservation." Such is the faithful analysis of this letter, which gives rise to more than one reflection ; it is a curious spectacle to observe at the foot of the throne of the Bourbons, the mother of him who was destined insolently to take possession of it ; to see her imploring the bounty of the King for one of her sons, and boasting of the benefits she had already obtained for another, for one who shortly became the most furious enemy of his benefactor, who shared his inheritance, shed the blood of one of his family, dethroned two others, and who, to corn plete his crimes againet his august family, lately en deavoured to wrest 'the steinre from the hands of the legitimate Monatch, to whom Europe and France had restored it. PARIS, SEPTEMBER s 6. The King has appointed Ministers and Secretaries of State : For Foreign Affairs, the Duke of Richelieu, Peer of France. For War, the Duke of Felire. Peer of France. For the Marine and Colonies, the Viscount Du. bouchage, Lieutenant• General. For the Interior, the Count de Vaublanc, Prefect of the beim, uncut of the BroochesAu-Rhone. For General Police, the Sieur de Cures, Counsellor of State. His Majesty has not yet disposed of th e depart ments of Justice and Finance. Yesterday the Count de Peralade, Grandee of Spain of the first class, Ambassador from his C - tholic Majesty, had his first audience of the King. The Gazette contains also an ordinance of the King appointing the Sieur Lynch, Mayor of Boum- Jean:, a Member of the Chamber of Peen: another appointing Colonel Montchehu 1 4 Commissary at the tho Wand of St. Helena to superintend the detentioil of Bonaparte," and a third nominating the Sieur Os mond. Administrator General of the Posts, in the room Auguie deceased. It averted at prescnt i andAhclliniticit•applan-, probable, that the All:eJ Sovereigns will not leave this capital for a week to come. • The departure of a part of the Russian army has been countermanded. Two divisions of infantry and one of dragoons will' remain for tome time in the French territory. They will occupy the depart. ments of the tipper Marne, the Manse, the Meuse,l and the Meurthe. _Count Lessen is Chief of the Staff of this army, of which Coma S inbanoff is General in Chief ; they will reside at Nancy. On the .14th inst. Gener..l Tattenzien, command ' ing the 6th corps of the Prussian army. required, the following articles to be furnished at Ren?.es within three days: 48Q,00011). of bread ; 240,0001 h. cif fresh meat; 15,0001 b. of salt; 45,0001 h. of rice ; 90,0001 b. of beans. lentiles, or other dry pulse ; 4.5.0(Xdb. of butter or lard; '210,000 litres of beer; 12.,000 ditto of wine ; 25,010 ditto of brandy ; l 5.00011). of to bacco for smoking ; 69,000 bushels of oats; 2.60,0001 b. of hay, and as much of straw. To meet this requisition, the Prefect of •Finisterre has imposed a tax. equal in \amount to the tax on persons and moveahl s, for tt.e year 1815, and which must be raised by the sth of October next. The Duke of Otranto set off yesterday for Dresden. The Emperor of Russia made yesterday a visit to the King. This Mouarch remained for half an boor with his Majesty. His Royal Highness the Duc d'Angoulerne paid yesterday a visit to the Emperors of Russia amid Austria. ' We are assured this evening, that NZ. Grosh ,, is appointed to the Seals, and to be Minister of Justice. The other nomiwitions ate not known. M. Tabry, Secretary to the Duke of Otranto, is appointed, according to report, Secretary to the Saxon Embassy. The change of Ministry and choke of Miris!ers, which, for the most part, present to indolent sincia. tors and an indifferent people only a contcst of in-, tztes between different candidates, each of whom' yours to in a victory over his rivals, i, nt this moment the first, the greatest, the only object of public attention. The whole of France which, atnid the disasters which press upon her, regarded the mis fortune of possessing the Mimstcrs to whom her con &knee was supposed to be entruited, as the greatest calamity, fixes her eye attentively upon those nomi. nations on which, in a great measure. depend the al leviation or the removal of her sufferings and her fu ture destihies. Europe, which ought more than ever to feel that its happiness and tranquillity are lh.ked to those of France, contemplates likewise this choice, and measures the degree of confidence it inspire.. Objects of universal attention, the two individuals whose appointment is already knitwn, have likewise seen their nomination received with universal applause. The talents, and above all, the fidelity of the Duke de Feltre, have procured fur him the suffrages of all the friends of the King and the country, and hive even imposed silence upon those who are not ; and France and Europe have equally applauded the no. mination of the Duke of Richelieu to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Presidency of the Council. After the example of those ancient French knigh's, born for arms and fur elory, and who, unable to in dulge this generous ambition in a country which en joyed the delights of peace, went to offer their swords to a foreign power, and to acquire the military art under experienced Captains, the Duke of Richelieu left France in early youth, and accompanied Count Langeton and Count Roger de Damao to serve under the standards of Suwarrow, who besieged Imailow- The intrepid valour of these young Frenchmen sig nalized itself in this famous siege, and became the object of general admiration in the Russian army. The first troubles of his country recalled the Duke from this career of foreign glory. He came to its assistance like a good citizen, but he arrived when good citizens were considered as enemies. He for a long time secured the fidelity of the regiment under his command, and afforded to his unfortunate Sove reign marks of the most devoted attachment. In a day, celebrated in the annals of our misfortunes, and of the crimes of a s tnguinary faction, he penetrated to his presence, for the purpose of affording him sa lutary warning through a thousand obstacles and dangers. At last when every thing was lost in France, he en. deavoured beyond France to flair the means of serv ing his country : and who can cen►ure a Duke of Richelieu for placing himself under the noble banners of the descendants of the great Conde, rather than under the bloody standard of the Committee of Pub lic Safety. But when his country had become enslaved by the name of liberty, he thought it his duty to leave it. He thee exiled himself Into that foreign state, in whose armies be had first served. In Russia he sought an asylum, and he found 'it his country. A great Sovereign there knew how to appreciate his ta lents and to honour them with his esteem. This ho. nourable axidence was repaid by the most signal services ; for who has not heard of Odessa ? Family affairs led the Duke to France for a short time during the first years of Bonaparte's tyranny; The tyrant offered him every encouragement to re main under his government, and used all his arts to cajole him, butte knew how to avoid the sway, and to despise the favours of a tyrant of his country who had usurped the throne of its King. Soon this throne was miracubrusly re-established, and M. de Richelieu hastened to its service. Claimed by two countries, the one of Which was sensible of the services he had rendered it, and the other could appreciate those which it expected from him, 4w was going to decide for France, when unfortunate France fell again under the yoke of the usurper, and of that faction which bad prepared the frightful rebellion. The Duke followed his unfortunate King to Ghent, where an the friends of the Sovereign and of die country marked him out as the Minister, while those who were the friends of neither could not even ad. mit the supposition. While the public was deceived in its hopes, it still continued to chErish them, and Ikea asked why the Duke was hot Minister, after it was decided that he should not be sot in fine, to the regrets of not seeing him in the Administration, was always mingled a tacit or expressed approbation of the motives which restrained from accepting such an appointment.

March, i The following we give from a private letter from France : On Tuesday se'nnight an English good of 200 men took possession of the Louvre, and is• mediately a number of persons were employed a taking down and packing up a part of the picurei and statues which had escaped the Prussians. *4 The report is, that an application was made bf the Duke of Wellington, as Commander in Child the Dutch as well as British Armies, for the ream• tics of all the pictures that were taken from Hollei and the Low Countries, at the beginning of ds French Revolution. The King answered that do! were not his property, but the property of the oaks and that a communication should be made to* House of Deputies, upon its opening, of this decant " The reply of the British Minister was, that SI orders were pesemptory, and, as above mentioned•ld bas enforced the execution of them. At least persons are at this moment (Thursday last, one oclsa; employed in taking down the pictures of the Flail School, under the protection of a guard of thesth rt &intent, sentinels being stationed in the Gallery kill Nearly all the Rubens s are already taken down. ad well as the Paul Potter's (including the celebrated one Of* Ball) the Ostade's and the Rembraadi Several carts are actually at .the door conveyiq them away. What particularly surprises and fends the people is, that after all our oloderat ictl this act• of wholesale pillage should be tommill under our immediate protection. A Dutch gdo would have been more politic." Another letter says—de British sentinels are csM Pilinted through the gallery of the Louvre; um nothing but the sound of hammers is heard from (si one end of it to the other. 'the Antwerp altar-pied has been, with a crowd of its illustrious compatriot! ;already taken down ; and two schools, the Du cr and Flemish, almost totally cleared of their till+ pictures.
