THE NATIONAL REGISTER. 4tri An Evening Paper of Friday. stated that a repo t was in ci; culation of three battalions of the French army, at a pro= . vincial station, having combined to raise the standaed of Buonaparte, and march to Paris. A Morning Paper adds--,- "The fact is, that such an °cent-mice took place at Nemotirs about a fortnight ago. The whole patty, officers and men, in a sudden fit .of extravagance, agreed to the abave absurd resolution. The officers, however, quickly perceived their folly, and attempted to rf'straiti tl:e men, many of whom mutinied against them, and proceeded even to the shedding of blond. Marshal Oudinot, who was at that moment at Paris, no sooner received information of it, than he went down, and hanged of shot three of the ring leaders. The . King was . ineined to have pardoned them ; but the Marshal, pet haps, judged pore properly in ad , ising their instant exe cuti. n. Thus did these three poor fellows lose their lives, because an infinitely greater villain thin either of them is std. fered to retain his life. May they be the last sacrifices in so mad and disgraceful a cause !" By the Pat is Papers received during the week, we learn that Maishal Jourdan has been appointed to the Military Government of Normandy : and one of his first acts, after his arrival In that province, was to puhii,l) an address to the inhabitants, d: tiding the beniticent views of the tiew Government, which the Marshal pledges himself to stil)°, t with firmness and zeal —Vice' Admiral Count de %ranger:lNi has been aplointed Governor of Nlartinico ; and Admiral (i o veroor of Calolaloupe. M. de Rayneval, Col stl of France in Faig'and, has departed for this country.

The Vi' InztCourt Gazette ')as announced that the Congress at Vienna will not asseinh!e till the tst Oct. The reason given for this delay, is the impossibiVtv of Lord Castlereagh quitting England hefote the tee mination of the session of Parli,ment ; and the Emperor of Russia being unable to prolong his stay in Germany. fits Imperial Majesty, it anoens, intends to proceed to St. Peter,burgh, and afterward, to iepair from thence to Vienna, where he 14 expected almot the end of Sep- termer. All the territo. ies now provisionally occupied, are . to remain in the same state until their dektinv is determined upon at the Coriess. The itibal)itAnts of liorde►ux have testified their respect for l .oul I).►lhousie, the commander of the PA itish ti(,opF, so long stationed in their city and...neigh bourhood, •by'presenting his Lordship with a sword. Louis XVIII. still remains indisposed. On the other hand Mon sieur is considerably better. Nothing appears yet to be decided respecting the fate of Norway. The Ilamburgh Papers state, that among the visionary . hopes with wnich the Norwegians delude them selves, one is, that a matiimonial union is on the tapir between Prince Christian and the Princess Cha►lotte of Wales. Baron A Wier and four ether persons of distinction have arrived from Norway, to constitute a special Legation from Prince Christian to the Couit of London. Covets anent have refused to receive them in any official cha racter. The object of their mission is to induce England to support the independence of Norway. The Bova! Oak, Spencer, and other ships, with 6000 troops, entered the iker St. Lawrence on the 6th of June. About 12,000 or 11,000 more were expected.
