FRENCH 'PAPERS. ASSASSINATION OF THE DUKE DE BERRY. The Paris Papers of Monday, received this morn ing, bring intelligence which our Readers will peruse Kith horror.—The Duke de BERRY, HeirPrestimp tive to the French Throne, has lost his life by the dagger of . an assassin! On Sunday night, as his Royal Highness was coining out of the Opera with the Duchess leaning on his arm,. he received a deep wound in the side from the hand of a dastardly wretch, who had been for four years meditating 'the perpetration of the crime. The DUKE uttered a loud cry, and fell senseless to the ground. He was immediately conveyed into one of the rooms of the Opera, where every aid which professional skill could administer was applied. It was at first thought that the wound was not mortal, but this hope, we lament to say, proved unfounded. His Highness was removed to the Louvre, and at six o'clock next morning he breathed his last. All Paris, as may well be supposed, was plunged in affliction and alarm. The assassin endeavoured to effect his escape, but was stopped in his flight, and is. now in custody, to await the punishment of his atrocioas deed. Ile proves to be an obscure per son, of the name of Leuvet, who was employed about the King's stables, and, according to one account, formerly belonged to the Household of BONAPARTE, while at Elba, and during the Hundred Days. The Duchess of 3EIUTT is, for the third time, in a state of pregnancy ; and, admitting the supposition that the assassination may have had some connection M kb political views, it. would seem that the Duchess had been made the witness to her husband's death. in tLe hoi:c That so treznendous a shock might bring on an uni.imely delivery, and cut off the last possi bility of her giving a succession, in the direct line, to the throne of the Botntsoss. Her Highness was coveied all over with the blond which gushed from her husband's wound ; and, from the moment that the blow was struck, till he breathed his last, did not leave him for an instant. The agony of her feelmgs, in so trying a situation, may be more easily irnained than described. The Duchess, as our Ruaders may be aware, has already g iven two cia,lghter to the House of lluß i goN, o f whom one is living ; but, according to the Salic Law, cannot succeed to the Tnrone. In the subjoined extracts our Readers will find all the particulars respecting this melancholy event, which have, as yet, transpired through the Public Journals : FEMZUARY 14.

" In the occurrence which took place on the night of the 24th of this month, several bargesses with arms, were seen following the seditious party, com mitting disorders. These individuals are insensible to the affection which I have manifested for them, and abusing my goodness, they continue their ex cesses. It is no longer possible to escape the rigour of the laws, and, to make them respected, I order: " That there shall not be a meeting of more than three persons ip any public place; exceeding this number, they shall be dispersed by force. No per son, of either sex, shall stop ih the cabarets, under the pretext of thinking, and shall depart as soon as they have made their purchases. All tables and benches found there shall be removed. All the coffee-houses shall be shut at nightfall ; no person shall be suffered to remain within them, and the Pro. prietors shall be responsible for the non-observance of this measure, which shall.be equally observed in the Gaming-houses established by permission. " It is farther ordained, under pain of death, that all persons who have arms belonging to the King, shall deliver them to the Commissaries of their re spective quarters, within twenty-lour hours from the publication cf the present Edict ; and these Commis saries shall, as they shall answer for it, see to the exe cution of the present order, and of those which I have previously communicated, promising to make whatever visits they may judge necessary to persons or houses within their quarters, for which I shall fur nish them whatever assistance they may demand.

This Appeal from the Decree of the Ecclesiastical.

THE ARM Y. TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR. LETTER Vi. It is universally felt to be infinitely mote to support an accumulation of petty and minute infelicities, than any single cal:unity of the most ter rific magnitude. If the article in the Military Register pointed at the heads of the Corps, as NI:. PERRY seemed iLic!ined to believe, it must be eviden:, from what has been said, that it did so very imperfectly. The crutly, for example, of obstructing the prowess of my or it fit for India (as was the case), by the most un ar rantable assumption and exercise of power, is Lof even hinted at in the Military Rzgisier. There is one circumstance, however, which teems to be per fectly decisive in regard to the existence of an " la tfuence" somewhere—and that is, that previou.d y the event of the individual al's tied to taking up IlLft permanent residence s ith the Corps, no alifffic:.rs could have possibly lid in grerger hat mon j wile each other than we did et head-quarters. But iblier it is worthy of remark, hardly a d ehip,ed wiLLiont producing some disagreement or another between me and my brother Officers, generally, I may say at ways, founded on the most trivial occurrences. The most insignificant circumstances were now caught At with avidity to form the pretext for oaths: uoth r:e, as it is familiarly called ; for it was easily per that the surest mad to favour was by being on the very warn terms with me and trite verza t I was thus honoured with the most marked, studied, and invidious distinctions. It is by no mean; a new thing for rising geniuses to blow both hot and cold with the saiiie breath, to please their patron saint. In fact, it ought, and I have no doubt lug by and-bye, be considered rather as a sympton of high-bred polished manners, than of that servile, creeping meanness, which the •ulgar are but too apt to term those elegant fiesibilities se truly characteristic of the most amiable and soaring dispositions !" Louts XIV. was either led by his own superstition, or by tide artifices of Med. ALipirsgoie, to an excess of devotion—and, it is said, his Courtiers, as usual, 16 . i/idled him in meekness, for some of them would eves insist on taking the Sacrament twice r day ! ! rt *as not any aversion towards our townsman Tno- WAS AlkoterT, that induced the four worthies to come over from France and take the liberty of capitating him—No! it was because they imagined (and perhaps justly), that it would be egreeeae to iiswir In short, it became clear, even to the common sol diers of the Royal Staff Corps, that I was obnoxious in a certain quarter. The consequences, therefrre, were evident. It was impossible that a situation such as that in which I have described myself to have been now placed, for the last three years, in the Royal Staff Corps, could have remained tationary. No Officer can continue to serve under mortificatious which become at last to be notorious throughout the neighbourhood. Accordingly a regimental event soon happened which was the means of bringing my situation to a crisis; and, at the same time, of re lieving the Royal Staff Corps from the mortifica tion of my services. Whether this regimental event was either engen dered or accelerated by the slights, mortifications, and invidious distinctions I had for a while pre viously experienced, or whether it was totally un connected with, and entirely uninfluenced by them, is a problem which I am not bound to attempt the solution. I state the event as a mere matter offad,, and allow others to draw what inferences they please from it I may just mention, en passant, however, without,. I hope, being accused of presumption, that it is believed by the best critics, 50C114772 would never have been brought to trial and con demned, had he not been previously degraded and rendered ridiculous to the mass of the People, by the satirical writings of ARISTOPHANES. The event I allude to happened as follows :—On the morning of Sunday, the 7th Jure, 1818, at a Garrison Parade, I was ordered by the Officer then in command of the Corps, to submit myself to be singly marched round the Parade, by *ay of guard mounting, at the head of ten or a dozen men, under the een:mend of an (ear considerably my junior. This order, however, from an unfortunate miscon struction, on my part, of a regulation which 1 had never before seen put in force, I begged, in the most respectful manner, to be excused from performing. But becoming very soon afterwards convinced of my mistake, I lost no time in pleading error in judg ment ; that I meant no disrespect whatever to the Officer in command : I fully apologized, and was released from arrest, on the understanding that I should exchange into a Regiment in 'lndia. In or der to effect which, it may be easily imagined, now most desirable object, both Colonel COFFIN and Sir B. Dllasitx were pleased to assure me of every as sistante in their power; and they both seemed to entertain no doubt whatever of being able to succeed. I am, Sir, your's, &c. &c. CI ftterbuty, fib. 6.

His Royal Highness the Duke of Berry was struck last night with a `low of a dagger at coming out of the Opera. The blood gushed forth, and the Princess, who accompanied her august spouse, was covered with it. The murderer endeavoured to fly, but lie was instantly arrested. The Prince was carried into one of the Halls of the Opera. Every aid that his situation required was administered, but in vain; and it is with afflic tion and terror of soul that we have to announce the death of a beloved Prince—the hope of France. It was at six o'clock This morning that the Prince breathed his last. The whole of Paris is in a state of stupor and mourning. The Duchess of Berry, whose pregnancy was on, the eve of being publicly announced, did not quit, her spouse for a single instant. The murderer is a person of the name of Laurel, saddler, employed in the King's stables, and who had been previously attached to the household of Bona parte at the Isle of Elba, and during the Hundred Days. : • FROM ;Jr .TNTYAL DE.I DP11.17% Farther Poster ipt.—The hopes of the phy s icians have, unhappily, proved fallacious. Ilis Royal Highness expired at six o'clock the next morning. PARIS, rEBRUARY 14. This day the King, accompanied by the Princes and Princesses of the Royal Family, repaired to the Chapel of the Castle to hear Mass. Ileum Vincent, the Austrian Ambassador, as yes , terday was the birth-day of Sovereign, gave a grand dinner, to which the King's Ministers, the l'cpe's Nuncio, the Diplomatic Body, and the most pe:sons at Coua and in society, were invited. Three will be a Public Sitting in the Chamber of Deputies to-mo:row, for the purpose of presenting, in the name of his Majesty, a Project of Law relative to Electoral Colleges. Count Puzzle di forgo, Ambassador from the Emperor of Russia, has been ill for sevcral days. . NEWS.FROM SPAIN. We have received to-day,. Letters from Madrid of the 3d of February.—Cadiz is still faithful to the King, and the Rebels have not gained an inch of, ground since, they failed completely in the attack • on the Cu:tadura. Cleaeral Freyre reviewed, on the 45th of January, all his troops at Carmona, and has transferred his head-quarters to Xeres. The famous Melchior, whom the Libemls have made one of the Pillars of the Insurrection, by sup posing that he might be able to join the rebels with his bands dispersed in the Sierra Morena, bas been arrested in Arragon, and conducted to, Madrid.-- On the Sti of February, at Ole departure of the Coutier, Melchior was in the hands of the Priests ap pointed to accompany him to the scaffold; he was to be hung bolo' e two days were over. This man has never been regarded in :pain in any other light than as a highway robber. Our Liberals had gone so far as to suppose the Spanish revolters masters of the Fleet, or at least in a eondition to intercept the entrance to Cadiz. What evidently proves the contrary is, that the frigate Sa bina entered Cadiz on the 28:11 ef January, from Very Cruz, - after a passage of sixty days ; she has brought 1,540,15_,: piastres (fortes), (r 31.0,892. 10s. English). The public Papers of Cadiz, of the 28t11 January, contain the following documents: PROCLAMATION. " The Governor is penetrated ith gratitude for the faithful and heroic condnct of the itlhabitants of this City, during the deplorable event of last night. A handful of factious men have been seduced by Colo nel D. NicocAs SANTIAGO ROTALDE, who happened to be the Officer on guard at the Porte de Mer, and who, abusing the confidence of the Government, wished to disturb the tranquillity of this City, as no ble as illustrious. " You know that the plot has been defeated, and I flatter myself that similar seeds of discord will not again display themselves; but you ought to know also that such crimes cannot rest unpunished, and that, in the exercise of my authority, I must take the most energetic measures to ensure to all the enjoy ment of repose in their houses and in the bosom of their families. The said Rotalde having in conse quence taken flight to escape the chastisement which he deserves, r enjoin the inhabitants of this city, if they discover him, to deliver to me the person of this Rebel, or to inform me of the place where he may be found. At the same time, I recommend to them to avoid all assemblages, within the city, or . without it ; and if any such are found, I oilier them to be dispersed by force of arms. " Inhabitants of Cadiz, I thank you for your con- FROM THE GAZETTE D. ITINCF. Sunday night, at half-past II o'clock,.at the con clusion of the Opera, his Royal Highness the Duke of Berry was struck with a blew of a dagger, at the moment when he was ascending his voiture. The blood gushed forth on his august spouse, who had already seated herselt in the Lenin. The Prince, deeply wounded in the right side, gave a h,ud cry, and fell senseless. The assassin, a mien of about 30 years of age, and whose dress is indicative of a state bordering on indigence, was immediately arrested, and conducted to the guard-house of the gendar merie of the Theatre. His Royal Highness was carried into one of the rooms of the Administration of the Opera, wheie the Princess followed, and assisted in the first atten tions paid to him •by the professional men. We are assured that the wound is not mortal. The new Ravelllac has shessm great tranquillity; interrogated.by a gendarme as to the motive of this frightful assassination, he answered, that since four, years ago the crime had been projected. Two o'cfock Mond - ty Morning.- His Royal Highness is still at the Opera. They have opened the wound, blood has flowed ; the Prince appears relieved. The Duke of Bourbon arrived at half-past one. M.

Very little business has been done in the Funds for several days back, and in the early part of Tuesday the same stagnation prevailed ; but in the afternoon, when the rumour took place of the , change in Mi nistry, business took a turn, and one of the &it 13rckers rushed into the Market, and began to sell largely ; he was followed by many others; and Con suls, which began at 68 1 / 2 , fell V s per Cent.
