On the ‘2.1411 of the same month, the Decree of Ferdinand VII. re-establish ing the Jesuits in all the dominions of Spain and the Indies, was solemnly proclaimed in Mexico. The King of Spain has issued an order, in which he declares, that, " wishing the re-establishment of the Company of Jesus (alias Jesuits) to be effected as speedilA as possible, for the spiritual and temporal benefit of my kingdoms, it is my sovereio will, that the houses, col leges, churches, hospitals, funds and rents, of which it was deprived by the decree of its suppression, and which still exists, be all restored to it," tke. The marriages of King Ferdinand VII. awl his bro eucr with the Portuguese Princesses of the House of Braganza, were on the 11th of May proclaimed in the capital of the Brazils, as having been solemnized by pl.oxies.

Letters from Leghorn of the lSth ult. mention, that the Ex-King of Holland was living retired at the baths of Lucca.

A French Paper gives the substance of an Ordinance issued by the Prefect of Paris, concerning the use of cop r per vessels and utensils, the cisterns of wine-sellers, and the scales of dealers in salt and tobacco. Some of the re gulations deserve attention in this country, though they are more applicable to the modes of living and cookery of Paris. The Ordinance in question directs frequent inspec tions to be made of the copper vessels and utensils em ployed by wine-sellers, cooks, innkeepers, restatiraleurx, pastry-cooks, pork-butchers, &c. within the jurisdiction of the Police, for the purpose of ascertaining their salu brity.
