LONDON : ..MONDAY, JULY 2,.4. __.~ _. WE have received the Ptuis Papers of Wednefklay LiNt. An arti:le from Alghieri, in Sardinia, announces a rawcessful enterprise against some Barbary corsairs which hal landed a denwhment of pirates upon the coast of Sarainia, with the view of making prisoners. They adi. vanced into the country, and were successfully attacked cm passing through a wtaxl. 111eanwhili• a laxly of Sar dinians attacked their vessels. TILe men left in charge of them mistook them fa- pristoners taken by their comrades; they therefore remained trinquil, and the vessels, 17 in number, were captured. Success bad raised the spirits of the Sardinians. The Kin ,, of France has corr.rr - scl ih s digniry of Grand Crossi% of the Order of on NiOnsieur, .the Dukes of Angouleme and Berri, the Prince of Conde, Duke of Bou:kni, and Duke of Orleans. These Papers continue to infirm us of the damage _done by norms of hail and rain, by lightning and thun der,. in almost every part of Europe. WhoLt districts have been ravaged and . Lid waste ; houses have been blown down; the labours of the husbandman destroyed; rivers have burst their bank', anti inundated vast trusts. The greatest .damage seems to have been done in Ger m:lly. The French Funds continue falling—they are under fifty-eight. The Paris Papers of Monday last state, that on the day preceding, twelve of the Marshals of France took the va:h of viegiance according to ancient usage, between the hands of the King. After a general promise) of fidelity and goad service, it binds the taker to have no intelligence, or intimacy, with any persons to the prejudice of his Majesty, or of his kingdom ; and to reveal whatsoever may come to his knowleJ,•e, that would be injurious to either. The Jarshals were called, one by one, into the mycl presence, and the Oath Was mai to each by the Minister at War; except that, in his own case, the Duke .41c Richelieu read for him. Monsieur, the Duke and Du- claw de Berri, told all the principal officers of the Court, were present at the ceremony. It is added by the Monifrier, th:a these of the Marshals who did not take the oath were i. 2, or abitent, applying the latter phrase, of course, to those who are out of the kingdom. The fidlowing are the names of the Marshals who were not exiled, and yet it:dant appcar—Massena, Victor. Davoast, and Mancont. Considering that Suchet was permitted to be one of the swearers,—a man whose butcheriesin behalf ofusurpal ion were iidlowed by treachery to the lawfid Monarch who yartlonetl hint,—we are uthmihhed that the ceremony .should haVe b. cn a public one. The humiliation of re tiving the oath of each a man bet7omcs servility, when :any. unnecessary distinction i given to the scene ; but, peihaps, it Was thf:ught that the di-grace is lessened, of I riLiat many partake. %e recollect reading, soon after the King's fost restoration, of the attentions which were paid to this Sachet by the Duhe of A wontleme ; of his Tiding. in the same carriag e with the De through the Fouthern departments ; and of his being present with him et eNry cereir.ony and entertainment. No sooner tuonaparte appear. than he was again the enemy of the liorabnel! Now the King takes his polluted hands between his own, and suffers him, in that attitude to re pe:it the sokemaity, which he has almady profaned. Of ulait strauge.materials is French dignity composed. The Paris Parers say—" We learn frmn Berne, that the ct.ntiattance of the rains and the accumulation of the watcrs for want of proper drainage, have caused new de v.Autions in varitms parts of the Cuatinent. The small to an of Nydau was inundated tier several days by the 1. • t•rlowing of the 'fiddle. It is sdded that the Neuville bolt bever.ii other places notr the lathe of Bionic and MOrnt, are tiatilarly rimm...tanced. The cause of :te rivers Thitlle and Itroie, between t 1 three Lakes, z.;%. uo lurgcr visible; the low plains ere erged. la the vicinity of Berne the Aar h. pawed its ordinary inandatvd the plantations on the bants of the wale r~..l.i.the,moutitaineus districts the snow ii,not yet THE NATIONAL REGL,TE*. melted : the Alps are without verdure ; and the cattle, which in the month al Mav used to cover some mountains, remain sorrowfully in the stables and byres, and are kept alive at great expellee. In the valleys of the Alps the tor rents have• greatly increased and done much• itueuge." These Journals continue to give articles respecting the Barbary powers ; in one of which is a speculation of all the Italian States joining in a league apiinst them, and even the Pope's shilis of war arc talked of as likely to make some impression. Amongst other things, however, we are told, in the true French style, of the prodigious ilupremion made upon the Du of Algiers by the French Consul general there having it correct knowledge of Ara bic ; and the firm friendship which, in consequence, com menced between them. Notwithstanding the assertions that France is in a tranquil state, we find from the Paris Papers that arrests arc continually taking plum of persons accused of villi lying Lords XVIII. A retired Officer was arrested a few days since, fin. holding disrespectful language of the King; and two others have been condemned to deportation tier similar conduct. The Monde''p contains a Proclamation of General Maitland to the inhabitants of the lonian Isles; in which he announces the receipt of an Order in Council, direct ing that the govermuent of the different Islands shall re main as at preSent until a constitutional Charter shall be prepared and ratified fin- them. This Proclamation is directed ugainm the obstbmey of those who contended that the Senate of Corfu was, in fact, the representative body of the lonian States. A new Treaty has been concluded between Austria and Prussia ; by which the former cedes to the latter, in order to round the Prussian possessions on the left bank of the Rhine, several disricts left by the act of the Con gress of Vienna at the disposal of Austria, comprising the Cantons of Sarbourg, Merzig, Wadern, Tholey, Ot teveiller, &c. forming part of the late department of the Sarre. A company has been formed in Paris for supplying that city with water, in the manner in which it is conveyed to every house in London, end with iron pips. The King of France has granted them an exclusive privilege tZa. 9J years. The establishment, we arc told, has been chiefly formed upon British capital. Dispatches were yesterday received by Government from St. Helena, dated the 6th of June. All was well ut that Island. The following is, we believe, an authentic account of the cause of the unexpected turn which our relations with the Nepaul Government have taken. The Sovereign of Nepaul, with whom Lord Moira entered into a Treaty, died before it had been ratified, and was succeeded by his brother. This brother is described to be strongly attached to the Mahrattas. As soon us he ascended the Manual, he refitsed to ratitiy the Treaty, and entered into a corres pondence with Sandia and the Bent Rajah; both of whom it is said, have maniii,sted such hostile dispositions towards us, as to induce a belief that we shall be immediately en gaged iu a war with the Government of Nepaul, and with the 31abratta Powers. The Island of Java contains a population of more than five millions of inhabitants, and gives a clear surplus re venue of 2,800,000 rupees per annum. The land reve nue system, commenced upon near two years ago by Mr. Panes, has exceeded even his most sanguine hopes. The surplus above alluded to is derived from a source the most certain. With a lift]. exception, the whole Island is now like a well-managed landed estate in England. The tenants pay a certain fixed proportion of their pro duce to Government, and, in return, receive security of property, and protection of person. This is the sim ple view of the slate of Java. The opening of the Germanic Diet, is postponed till the middle of Pcxt runolt, Advices from Cadiz distinctly state, that. the ropti:le which have been so long in contemplation are not to take place ; that the Princes, es remain at the western eapital of Rio Janeiro ; and that all the megniticent schemes of the uniouofthe entire PcniesulaunderoneMonarch,andthe alienation of the extensive Provinces of the Rio de la Plata to the King of Portugal, are wholly unfounded. The Duke of Infantado and the Count of Miranda, the were officially employed to . reccive the Princesses of Por tugal, and to coital:et them to the seat of the Spanish Empire, have returned to Madrid in consesptence of the disappointment of the project which had lien formed; and which, in the evert of its execution, would have tut near ly affected the relative character and situation both of Europe and America. Some successes have been 'tanked ti squadron under Admiral Brown, from Buenos Ayres in the South Seas ; but the fate of its Connaander has not been meatioued. According to the accounts from Madrid, which are to the 28th ult. through Fran?e, that Officer landed with about (io men on the shore of tie: bay of Panama, when his movements were watched by a body of Spanish troops, provided with two pieces of cannon. As seen as he had pretveded to some distance inland, his communication was cut off with his ships, he was taken prisoner, and the req of his parts was either killed or captured. IVlien the lust intelligence left 1111.3 colonies, he ras confined in the castle of c; ettyntil. JULY Au article from New York states the arrival of M. Hyde (la Ncuville, on the I stli ult. in the French fl-i -gate Eurydice, after a passage of 29 days from Brest.- This gentleman is the newly appointed Minister from the Court of France. M. Gallatin, the A:nit:lsm:l(n to the Court of Paris, sailed front New York on the 11th ult. in the Peacock tamp of war, just fbur days previous to the arrival of the French Ambassador. The Halifax Papers give the following or a Caul duel which took place at New York between an. Officer of the British Army, and Capt. Price, belonging to the American Navy :—lt appears, that Mr. P. was walking down Broadway with a lady; and observing the English Officer looking, through 1114 glass from the onto site side, crossed and demanded what he meant ; the other declared it was not his intention to offend : Mr. P. growing rather warm and vociferom on the subject, he offered to give him satisfaction, and the parties accord ingly met the next morning on the spot where Burr and Huntilton fhught :—the distance taken up at first was 12 paces, it was afterwards shortened to 10 ; and on firing the third time Mr. P. icll and immediately ex pired. The weather this year has been equally unseasonable almest every where. In America it has proved no less extraordinary than in Europe. There they have had snow about the middle of last month : in Albany and Benniug ton it had fallen to the depth of an inch and a half. In that vicinity much damage had been done by the frost. From New York it is stated, under date of the 15th or June, that the cold weather, and even frosts, continued in the upper part of the state large kicks were pending, and the foliage of the &rests was blasted by the frosts. The plague in the Neapolitan territory has at length happily ceased. A letter from Naples, dated June AI, says: —"'Nire feel pleasure in reporting to you the official intelligence of the plague being considered at an end ; the total mortality amounts to 771 persons." An article front Pctersburgh states, that a Treaty of Alliance has been concluded between the Courts of St. Petersburgh and the United States of America. A chemist at Antwerp has discovered a means to re move from the pictures restored by France the modern var nish, and to leave the ancient varnish, under which the painting has resumed u 1 its primitive splendour. A foreign paper states, that 20 large chests lately are rived at Vienna, filled with utensils, instruments, and agricultural models, which the Archduke John had pur. chased during his stay in England. It was intended to publish a description of them fin the use of the Aus trians. It would appear, therefine, that that his lave- , rial Highness has not travelled in vain in this country. A letter from en English Gentleman. at Boulogne, of the ISth, states, that every serious disturba nee, in which some British Officers were implicated, occurred-on the re ceding evening et the Theatre of that place. Several a. our Officers who went to the Theatre were, as usual, in dulged with permission to go behind the scenes; when a Lieuteneut of Dmgo(ms, who was inebriated, took liber ties with the performers, stripping the handkerchief hum the neck of one cf them ; which being resented, led to the affray Which ensmal. A scuffle took place, blows were struck on both sides, the performances were sus pended, era! the Guards were seat fine These speedily I arrived with their Commandant at their head, but the disorder bad risen to too violent a height to be suppressed by their. .appearance. On the contrary, it seemed rather - to have increased the tumult :—" the French soldiery began, it is stated, to act in support of their Comman'. ant, whose epaulettes these imprudent young men had torn from his shoulder,. One of our Officers, n Lien tenant, received three wounds in different parts of his body ; from' which, however, it is expected and hoped he will recover, as he was deemed the most inoffensive of the party. Gen. Vivian wits expected at Boulogne fin the rtalese of assisting in the investigation; and am doubt but that whatever is due to our military discipline and national character will be done. The Officers were hcee on leave of aim cnce, and net en duty." So lute as Weareelay se'ruti;,-ht, on a bill, the preperty of Sir Alexander Ilamsay, Bart in the parish of Fetter cairn, at the distance of little more than twelve miles from the Gent= Ocean, there was a reuneun of a wreath pf .vicir, which measured, on the sth inst. fills fi:et deep and eighty yards ice eireUDlfert nee!
