OCT. 29. THE N TI THE &emus Review AT PARIS.--A Gentleman *ha attended the Review on Saturday hart at Paris, gives an in teresting account of that spectacle. The whole of the Duke of W elling:on's army was collected on the plain between St. Denis and Montmartre, consisting of infantry and cavalry, to the number of nearly 70,000 The troops went through the various mauceuvres with great precision; but the most at tractive movement of the day was that which was intended to represent the retreat of the British from Burgos. The evolutions were grand, and executed in the most perfect order. The day was fine, and the troops appeared to the highest advan•age. It was difficult to say which attracted most admiration, their excellent discipline or their soldier like equil.n►ent. To [move how alert the troops could be in case of heed, n►► notice for their attendance was given until a short time before their presence was required in the field. The Duke appeared in a Field-Marshal's uniform, attended by two foreign Princes and the whole of his Staff: Bruise's and Frankfort Papers arrived on Sunday. The two Emperors, Francis and Alexander, after separating at Dijon, met at Constance, in Switzerland, where they visited the celebrated fall of the Rhine; after which the former pro ceeded through the Tyrol for Milan ; and the Emperor of Russia took the route of Constance. Lindau, Ulm, and Nuieinberg, on his way to Berlin, where he it to be joined by the Empress. The King of Prussia passed through Frankfort incog. on the 14th, on his way to Berlin. A German pal er tells us, that the young Napoleon, or as lie is called, the Prince of Parma, is appointed Proprietor of the Austrian► regiment of Meerfeldt Hulans. The celebration of the Anniversary of the 18th of October, which has been almost universal throughout Germany, was prohibited at Leipsic, by a rescript of the King of Saxony._ The Prefect of Bordeaux, M. d e Tournon, and the Prefect of L ' ons, M. de Chabrol, were lately hoaxed by receiving letters, purporting to come from the Duke of Richelieu, re quiring them to occupy places under the New Ministry. They immediately set off post for Paris to accept their new missions, when, on their arrival, they soon discovered the trick which had been played upon them. The French Government is busily engaged in removing from power all persons suspected of disloyalty to the Bour bons. In the higher departments of the public offices, the changes have been vet y numerous; in that of the War Depart mem, the Duke of Feltre has nominated none but well-known Royalists to important commands. Many officers of the Paris National Guard have been dismissed.—The new or ganization of the army proceeds rather carefully than ra pidly. The Colonels of the new regiments, all men to be firmly relied on, ate invested with the power of naming their officers on their own responsibility. The Prime Minister, the Duke of Richelieu, is believed to have taken his situation leas from inclination, than from a conviction that his ser. vices and the weight of his honourable character were needed. ft may appear strange, that a nobleman in his situation should have voted with a party called the Opposition, in the Douse of Peers. His ideas. however, are known to incline, more than those of the majority in either Chamber, to some projects of reform ; but as he has tiev.er been practically a Revolutionist, so his attachment to the King and the true )aterests of his C. , untry is not iti the least doubted. Abuse of Wellington (says a letter from Paris) is the grand ton at Court; and, if rumour says true, Wellington himself has acknowledged; that if he has driven aa ay capacity and ambitio9, he hat not yet placed good faith or honest einciples on the throne of France. Tllp Duchess of W a l l ington bas set off to joie her husband • • .., ij Paris. qAT, REGISTER. 690 It is reported, that Carnot has been arrested and I) , ought to Paris, and that no less than fifteen General t )ffi, h ave been carried oft to prison in the night between ihe I st.h ard 19th. It is further said, that there is scarcely a div that some one of the minor [wets sold in Paris is not suppressed; the next morning they appear under a new name, and with the advantage of having been the objects of aiinisteyiia notice. On the 4th inst. the saloon of the Royal Academy of Arts at Berlin was opened with an exhibition of the pictures ►c- conquered fiom the French, for the benefit of the wounded soldie's in the late campaign. It appears by accounts from Cassel, though the greater part of their paintings, &c. have been recovered from France, that the fine pictures of Claude Lorraine and Paul Potter cannot be.found. The artillery and military stores are removed out of the itirrendered French fortresses in great quantities, to be given up to the Allies. Fouche, Duke of Otranto, has left Brussels, accompanied by his family, for Dresden. When Admiral Linois and General Boyer were landed at Havre from the Fox and Martial, on Tuesday last, they were put into separate places of confinement; and Madame Linois and her family were only allowed siv visit the Count at cc:- lain times of the day.—The other officers, who came floes Martinique, were allowed to go about the town at large. Late advices from Naples announce, that a proposal has been forwarded to the British Government from the Court cf Naples, requiring our mediation to bring about a Feace be tween the King of Naples and the Barbary Powers. Should we succeed, and be willing to guarantee the continuance of the peace, Naples, it is said, in return for such services. will make a beneficial commercial treaty with England. A Mail from Corunna arrived on Wednesday. The patriotic Bishop of Orense has had the laudable courage to present a petition to the King in favour of the surviving participators in the glorious though unsuccessful enterprise of the lament ed Porlier. Advices by the mail concur with accounts from Bayonne, of the 12th, in representing the condition of Spain to be such tltat the suppression of the enterprise of Porlier cannot be relied upon as a restoration of traoqufflity. The army is not punctually paid, the troops are ill clothed, and those on the French frontier are even 111 fed. INCREASE' OF LONDON. —At the upper end of the Hay market formerly stood Picandilta-hall, where Pirradif/as nr Turn-overs were sold, from which circumstance Piccadilly was named. This street was finished in 1642, as far as the present Berkeley-street. The fist good house which was built in it was Burlington House; the noble founder said he placed it there "because he was certain no one would build beyond him." The Court Martial, which has been sitting some bys at Sheerness on Captain Lord George Stuart, late of the New castle, 50-gun ship, on charges preferred against hint by Captain Butcher, late of the Antelope, of the same rate, closed its proceedings on Thursday afternoon at a late hapr. • when his Lordship was fully acquitted.
