treason and of an attempt against the security orthe State. We dare to say that the Chamber of Peers owes s h e world a most signal reparation: it ought to be s peedy because it is important to restrain the indig nation which is bursting forth on all sides. You will not suffer a longer impunity to engender new scourges, greater, perhaps, than those which we are endeavouring to escape. The King's Ministers are obliged to inform you that this decision of the Coun cil of War becomes a triumph to the factious. It is important that their joy should be short, in order that i• may nut be attended with bad consequences to them. sle res. We beseech you, therefore, and in the name of tho King, we require you to proceed immediately to the trial of Marshal Ney, following for that proce dcre the forms which you observe for the delibera tion of the laws, excepting the modifications intro. &Iced by the Ordonnance of his M4jesty, and which will be read to you. According to this Ordonnance, your judiciary functions will commence from this instant. You owe to rursclves, Gentlemen, not to give out any opi- Li-r, at present, for or against the accused. He will wpear before you at the day and hour which the Clamber shall fix." The Procureur-General, as King's Commissioner, afterviards read to the Chamber :—lst. The judge ment by which the Permanent Council of War of the Ist Division declared itself incompetent, to try Marshal Ney ;-2d. The King's Ordonnance, given above. Afterwards the Chamber, on the motion of ore of Members, 4 , declares, that it receives with respect Ole communication which has been made to it in the Kirg's name, that it acknowiciges the powers given :o it by the 211 Article of the Constitutional Charter, lid that it is ready to discharge its duties by con ormiag to the King's Ordonnanee." Mie Chamber was then adjourned till Monday, at Pleven o'clock, to take cognizance of the procedure which has been bad against Marshal Ney. a 1 1 , 1 le Of of a- CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES, NOVEMBER ii. In a Secret Committee the project of M. de la Bourdonnaye was developed, tending to pass an am nesty on all those who took part in the rebellion of !81+, with exception of such as were included in the King's Ordnnnance of the 24th July. PARIS, NOVEMBER 12. 'Yesterday morning Baron Joinville, Commissaire lrdonnateur en Chef of the First Military Division, ielegated in quality of Procuteur to the King before he first Permanent Council of War, which was gyp• ;ointed to try Marshal Ney, declared that he ap lealed against the judgement given on the 16th, by which this Council declared itself incompetent. Marshal Soult has, it is said. presented to the King a memoir, in which be demands to be tried. The Duke of Otranto, who arrived at Dresden nn •he `26th October, had his first audience of the King /faxony on the 29th, and presented his credentiAls. The Spanish Ambassador and Lady Castlereagh yesterday severally paid a visit to the Duchess of Angouleme. The law relative to the repression of :editions cries and pr3vocations to revolt, as passed by the two Chambers, was sanctioned by the King on the 9th of Nerember. We are assured that the Peace was definitively signed on Wednesday, the Bth instant, and that there will be in the course of next week a Royal Sitting in the °Limber of Deputies, in which communications will probably be made relative to this treaty. An English soldier, cantoned at Belleville, con. sictld of assassination, has been shot. The culprit was cbliged to dig his own grave before being put to death. The Russian troops from the environs of Frank 13rt have entered France to complete the 30,000 men who are to be left there by Russia. This morning we received the Paris Papers of Sunday. Those of Saturday have not yet arrived, :wing, we have no doubt, to the tempestuous state of the weather. We therefore cannot give the pro ceedings of Nev's Court Martial on Friday; but this is the less to be regretted, as a different turn has now been given to the whole affair—his pitiful and shuf fling Judges, have declared themselves incompetent to try him. The KING and his Ministers have acted Ito the occasion with becoming spirit. An Ordon- Noce was put forth, calling upon the House of Peers to try him as a traitor, and the Ministers instantly backed it by a formal impeachment. The trial Rill therefore commence on Monday. Let us hope that this headless and heartless ruffian bas avoided Scylla only to fall into Charybdis. Most justly does the Duke de !Unman' inform the Peers that not only France 44 long indignant and now actually stupified," but all Europe demands the Pnoishment of this miscreant. Already, it seems, has the decision of the Council of War given cause of tliumph to the disaffected t but what else could have ben expected from a groupe, the majority of whom were themselves the chiefs and champions of rebel treason, and disaffection? The Paris Papers inform us that Marshal Snvrr as demanded to be put on his trial. We hope his guest will be attended to : the sooner the world is of such a chat acta, the better. Follette, we find, has had his first audience of the t r II gAIONY. The King of FRANCS pays his, 7 • MAjoity of SAXONY a high compliment in the selec tion of Monsieur FOUCHE for the office of Ambas sador. The following letter from aCorrespondent at Naples contains some particulars respecting MURAT'S Trial and Execution, not before published : " NAPLES, OCTOBER 20. " MURAT landed lately on the coast of Calabria, near Pena, with thirty officers, mostly Corsicans ; he was immediately seized and confined : on the 13th of October, at five in the evening, lie was summoned before a Court Martial, and at six was shot, six balls enturili ; his head : he affected a great degree of for ode, not on approaching the fatal scene his firm ness ()ism' to waver, and he said to the Officers around, that they ought to await the decision of the Allied Powers; however, finding all lost, - his vanity came to his assistance, and asking those around whe. they they thought he was afraid to die, and refusing to have his eyes covered, gave himself the word fire, which was instantly executed, and he expired without a groan. He was some time with a confessor, and wrote three letters during his confinement ; one to his wife, one to the Emperor of Austria, and one to the King here, beginning, .1 Dear Cousin." I under stand all these were instantly destroyed." AMERICAN PAPERS. This morning we received Boston Papers to n late date—•the 24th alt. inclusive, and New York to the 21st. The following are extracts : " BOSTON, OCTOBER IL A letter from Flavannah, of the €2oth ult. says it is officially said at this place, that Carthagena has surrendered to the Spanish troops under General Morino. Notwithr:anding k is' OfnCi 'illy said,' we do not believe it. We have Havannah Papers to the 22d ult. which are totally silent on the subject. Had such an important event taken place and been officially known at Havant' th, the papers of that city would most pro bably have noticed it." " BOSTON, OCT. 20. 44 We have reason to believe the recent report, that Guadeloupe had been opened to American ves sels. is founded on some mistake : we have arrivals . from that Island and the vicinity, of a recent date, that heard notiring of it ; and the address of some Americans, to the principal Officer at the Island, for leave to export,prodnce, was yesterday received in town. The permission was refused. " Captain Alden, who arrived here a few days since from Guadkloupe, informs, that an Order had been issued to pent tit the importation in British ves sels from other islands, of lumbar, flour, fish, &c. " Captain Davis, from Martinique, informs, that in consequence of the arrival of some v. ss:ls from France which wanted cargoes, 'a Petition had been presented to the Governor, desiring that the erporta. Lion of sugar, coffee, cottop, and cocoa, in American vessels, should be prohibited ; and it was expected it %‘otild be granted. •i The British Government have st:engthened their garrison at TrinidAd ; and the Governor has issued a Proclamation forbidding collections of arms and ammunition; as it appears that such collections had been made to send them to the Maine to aid the Revolutionists. • CommuJcire Barney, who has been to London on business for the Government, has returned to ‘vashington with dispatches. He has not recovered of the wound he received at Blad.nsburg—the bullet still remains in him." DRY.ADFUL ACCIDENT.—A Sugar- House, in Well close-square, blew up this morning, by the explosion of a boiler of a steam-engine.—Sixteen lives were lost by this accident. Sir Fl. TOIIRENS has left town for Paris, in conse quence of a summons so sudden, that he is said to have known nothing of it in the night preceding his departure. Fuither reinforcements for the brigades of Guards were ordered out on Saturday ; and it is understood, that every effective man in the cour.. try is to be sent, with all convenient speed, either to France direct, or to the British depots in Belgium, most convenient for ►orming a junction with the forces in that country, if occasion should require their aid. Remounts from the depots of the 11th. 12th, 13th, 16th, and 23e1 Light Dragoons, stationed in the Kent district, have received orders to hold themselves in readiness to embark, to- join their respective Reg" , ments in France. _ _ .. .... Bide the above, other detachments and troops, to the amount of 2000 men, are under orders to pro 'teed to France, to replace those of the British troops ordered home in consequence of ill health. The Army under the command of the Duke of WELLINGTON is thus distributed :—Paris is occupied by the Guards; the second division is cantoned at Versailles ; the third at St. Cloud, Savres, and Nettilly ; the fourth at Lonjumran ; the fifth at Meulan ; the sixth at St. Germain and Passy ; the Hanovcrians at Limours ; the Nassau troops at, Ecouen and Luzarches. A private letter from Paris, says—" Great num bers, not only of the young and indigent who served Bonaparte, but even of his Ministers, are going to America ; CAULINCOURT has already sent off his whole fortune, and ordered extensive purchases of land to be made there for him. The sum he carries with him out of France is estimated at no less than two millions. CIIAPTALI the celebrated chemist, who was for some time BONAPARTE%) Minister of the Interior, is prepating to go to America, with the intention of settling there in the spring. Lacs-1 PED4 who is distinguished as a naturalist, and who I WAS high in the confidence of BONAPARTE, its also said I to be prepating to emigrate to the United States. • This is a strong proof ot the stability ot the existing I Government in France." ROYAL CORRESPONDENCE ON THE MARRIAGE OF I'HE DUKE AND DUCHESS OF CUMBERLAND. The Editor of the Morning Chronicle, who first gave publicity to this subject, having been desired to recal the attention of the Public to the correspondence on the subject of, the marriage betwzen their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of CUMBERLAND; and called upon to explain the circumstances which gave rise to the apparent inconsistency between the determination of the QUEEN not to see the Lady, and the assent which her Manny gave to the marriage, AS expressed in the letter to the Duke of. MRCICLEN EURG-STRELITZ, ( see the STAR of the 7th eltint/,) states, in his Publication of this morning, that the publica tion made of part of that letter a has had such an impreasion on the minds of many persons, as to make it incumbent on him to insert the reasons that induced her Majesty to withdraw the assent that she had given to the marriage before it was solemnized, and ' to persevere in her resoltrtion not to receive the Lady, now that it has taken place."—He then gives the subjoined statement 4 , precisely as transmitted, from the most respectable authority, without a comment." Our Readers will see, by a perusal, that in fact it needs no comment. It spews most convincingly. that the QUEEN'S conduct has bee!: most perfectly consistent with that high character for decorum and propriety which has ever bc:n manifested by her MAJESTY. gi The Queen had given her consent, in common with all the Royal Family, to the marriage of the Duke of Cambridge, with the Duchess Solins, and heard of its being broken off with regret. The King, from that respect to her feelings which he ever shewed, did not communicate to her the contents of the letter written on that occasion by the King of Prussia; nor did any one person think it tight, on account of the very near degree of relationship in which she stood to the Lady, to whisper a syllable to her respecting her niece ; so that all which had ever come to her knowledge was the circumstance of her breaking off the contract with the Duke of Cambridge, atter the ,great seal had been put to the royal assent, but which she was dis posed to ascribe to the influence of a new and a par donable affection for the Prince to whom she was afterwards united. The letters therefore which she wrote to her brother the Duke of , Mecklenburg Stre litz ; 'to the Pi incess Solms herself, &c. were the genuine feelings of her heart at the time ; and if tie whole of these letters had been published instead of the short extract that appeared in The Morning Chro• nick, it would have been made manifest that the con sent which she gave sprung from a breast warmly attached to her relative, at the same time that the ad. vice contained in it as to the deportment of her niece in England, shewed that she had reason to think, from her knowledge of the rupture of the affiance with her youngest son, that it was necessary to warn her as to her conduct while in England, with regard to the Duke of Cumberland's acquaintance, male and female, as well as to her behaviour in general ; the manners in this country being so different from those in Germany. The letter to the Duke of Mecklenburg Strelitz it may be proper to print entire. It will be seen from its own internal evidence, that it was a letter strictly confidential from a sister to a . brother. " It appears, however, that this letter, as well as the others written at the same time, were permitted to transpire in Germany, the effect of which was, that more than one near Connection of the Royal Family of Rngland felt it right to communicate to her Majesty particulars which induced her to hesitate in her own mind as to the propriety of the intended onion ; and her Majesty communicated her feelings on the subject to the Prince Regent, for the express purpose that he should take the necessary steps, in the most delicate and respectful way, to inform the Duke of Cumberland of her Majesty's 'determination not to receive the Lady at the English Court. This conversation took place at an interview with his Royal Highness in the beginning of the month of December last ; and her Majesty had full confidence that her indisposition to the alliance was made known to the Duke et Cum berland. If it was not so, the concealment did not rest with her Majesty." When Archbishop Ferteuott was Almoner to Louts XIV. his Majesty was astonished one Sunday to find, instead of the usual crowded congregation, only himself and his-attendants, the priest, and other officors of the chapel. 4 , What is the meaning of this ?" said the King.. The Prelate answered, " I caused it to be given net that your MAJESTY did not attend chapel today, in order that you may see who came here to worship Cron, and who to worship the Ktno !" The termination of the war in India has fortu nately superseded the necessity of sending out the large military reinforcement, of no less than 3'2 bat. talions of infantry, which were under immediate embarkation orders. We understand the Country ceded to the East India Company by the late Treaty is no part of the Nepaul territory, but consists of districts wrested from the neighbouring Rajahs, by incursions during the last ten years. The Royal Gaulle of Hayti, of the 29th of June last, contains a notification of the determination of the Government to take the most effectual measures for the security of commerce and the safety of friendly vessels, trading to Hayti, in consequence of the depredations of pirates in the neighbourhood of C'mte Christ°, whose crews are composed of people of all nations and colours ; and that, in the event of apprehending any of the marauders, they shall be hanged without fail, of whatever nation they may be ; let them call themselves what they will, Carthage nians, Englishmen, Frenchmen, Spaniare!s, the law will be rigidly executed.
