'TIE NATIONAL REGISTER. LONDON : SUNDAY, JULY 21. WF. have received the Paris Papers of Wednmday hvt. An article flan Algliicri, in Sardinia, announces a sum-Ist:al enterprise n i p:lost home Barbary corsairs which Lad tal , :d a i!etachili,:nt of pirates upon the coast of THF. NATIONAL REGISTER. Sardinia, with the view vi nod prisoners. They ad vanced into the (muntry, sad were stimessftilly attacked oa passing through a wood. Meanwhile a body of Sar dinians attacked their vesels. The men left in charge of them mistook them fin. prisoners taken by their comrades; they therefore remained tranquil, and the vessels, 17 in number, were captured. Success had raised the spirits of the Sardinians. The King of France has conferred the dignity of Grand Crosses of the Onler of St. Louis on Monsieur, the Dukes of Angouleme and Berri, the Prince of Conde, Duke of Bourbon, and Duke of Orleans. These Papers continue to infirm us of the damage done by storms of hail and rain, by lightning and thun der, almost every port of Europe. Whole districts have ben ravaged and laid wilste ; houses have b.!en blown arra; thu labours of the hoslnindman destroyed; rivers have burst their Imnlos, and inundated vast tract s . The greatest damage seems to have been Bono in Ger many. The French Funds continue fulling they arc under The Paris Papers of' Monday lest state, that en the day preceding, twelve of the Marshals of France took the oath of allegiance accordiag to aneicnt usage, between the hands of the King. After a general promise of fidel ity and good 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 knowledge, that would be injurious to either. The Marshals were called, one by one, into the royal presence, and the Oath was read to each by the Minister at War; except that, in his own case, the Duke de Richelieu read for him. Monsieur, the Duke and Du chess de Berri, and all the principal officers of the Court, were present at the ceremony. It is added by the Mon iteur, that those of the Marshals who did not take the oath were ill, or absent, applying the latter phrase, of course, to those who are out of the kingdom. The following are the names of the Marshals who were not exiled, and yet did not appear—Massena, Victor. Davoust, and Maxmont. li Considering that Sachet was permitted to be one of the swearers,—a man whose butcheriesin behalf of usurpation were followed by treachery to the lawful Monarch who pardoned him,—we are astonished that the ceremony should have been a public one. The humiliation of re ceiving the oath of such a man becomes servility, when any unnecessary distinction is given to the scene ; but, perhaps, it was thought that the disgrace is lessened, of which many partake. We recollect reading, SOlm after the King's first restoration, of the attentions which were paid to this Suchet by the Duke of Angouleme ; of his riding in the saute carriage with the Duke through the southern departments ; and of his being present with him at every ceremony and entertainment. No sooner did Buonaparte appear, than he was again the enemy of the Bourbons! Now the King takes his polluted hands between his own, and suffers him, in that attitude to re peat the solemnity, which he has already profaned. Of what strange materials is French dignity composed. M. D'tissault, one of the oldest Vendean generals, has been ennobled and decorated with the cross of St. Louis ; and what is still more important, four new Marshals have been created, of whom two (the Duke de Coigny and the Count de Vionenil) belong to the emigrant nobility; and the other two (the Duke de Feltre and Count Beur nonville) accompanied the King to Ghent. We observe, too, that M. Corvetto, the minister of finance, is gone to take the waters at Vichy—a measure which very often serves as the prelude to, or pretext for, a resignation of office. These papers speculate on the early return of the Duke of Wellington to France._ . . Tyro great commercial houses at Vienna (Hofzinger's and %Valances) have stopped payment ; Weldaner's for 1,400,000 florins. The Paris papers state, that the matrimonial alliance between Prince Leopold of Naples and the Archduchess Maria Clementine of Austria is to take place at Schoen brunn on the 27th. When this celebration is over, the Emperor of Austria (who is said to have had a long con ference with Lord Stewart) is to proceed to Galicia, to have an interview with the Emperor of Russia ; after which Alexander, it is stated, intends to open the Diet of his new kingdom of Poland at Warsaw. The Emperor Francis has conferred thedignity of Prince on Count Colaary, a rich Hungarian noble, who, it appears, is related to the Prince of Saxe Cobourg. The Paris Papers say—" We learn from Berne, that the continuance of the ruins and the accumulation of the waters for want of proper drainage, have caused new de vastations in various parts of the Continent. The snail town of Nydau was inundated for several days by the overflowing of the Mello. It is added that the Nenville and several other places near the Lake of Biennc and Lake .►iorat, are similarly circumstanced. The course the rivers Thiclle and Broic, between the three Lakes, are no bmger visible ; the low plains are t. .bmerged. In the vi, ►ntty of Herne the Aar has passed its ordinary limits, and inundated the plantations on the banks of the waters. In the mountainous districts the snow Is not yet nr.‘ited : the Airs are rithout vertlaire ; and the cattle, which in he mend, ..f May used to cover some mountains, remain some% fitily in the stables and byres, and are kept alive at great erpence. In the valleys of the Alps the tor rents have greatly increased acid done much damage." JULY 21. Jo.inials continue to give articles respecting the Barbary powers; in one of which is a speculation of all the Italian States joining in a league against them, and even the Pope's ships of war arc talked of as likely to male some impression. Amonpt other things, however, we are told, in the true French style, pi the prodigious impression made upon the lley of Algiers by the French Consul general there having a correct knowledge of Ara bic ; and the firm friendship which, in consequence, corn. mcmcd between them. Notwithstanding the assertions that France is in a tranquil state, we find from the Paris Papers that arrests are continually taking place of persons accused of villi fying Louis XVIII. A retired Officer was arrest e d a few days since, for holding disrespectful language of the King; and two others have been condemned to deportation for similar conduct. The Monitorr 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 government of the different Islands shall re main as at present until a constitutional Charter shall be prepared and ratified fbr them This Proclamation is directed against the obstinacy of those who contended that the Senate of Corti► was, in fact, the representative body of the lonian States. A new Treaty has been concluded between Austria and Prussia ; by which the fi►rtner cedes to the latter, in order to round the Prussian possewions on the left bank of the Rhine, several districts 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, and with iron pipes. The King of France has granted them an exclusive privilege 14 9) years. The establishment, we are told, has been chiefly tinmed upon British capital. Dispatches were yesterday received by Government from St. Helena, dated the 6th of Juuo. All was well at that Island. The follou g 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 bethre it had been ratified, and was succeeded by his brother. This brother is described to be strongly attached to the Mahrattas. As soon as he ascended the Musnuti, he refused to ratitiy the Treaty, anti entered into a corres pondence with Scindia and the Bent Rajah ; both of whom it is said, have manifested such hostile dispositions towards us, as to induce a belief' that we shall be immediately en-, gaged in a war with the Government of Nepuul, and with the Al ahratta 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 ohm by Mr. Raffles, has exceeded even his most sanguine hopes. The surplus above alluded to i; derived from a source the most certain. With a little 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 state of Java. It appears by several of the Continental Papers, that the Princess of Wales has arrived at Constantinople front Athens. The latter place was announced to be the chief object of her Royal Highness's visit to the East ; but from the dates of her progress she can have made little stay at the city which concentrates so much of the attention of civilized Europe, and where her residence might have been rendered agreeable by the number of English who resort to it. The purpose of her Royal Highness's expedition is, therefore, still to be learned. It certainly was not that of accurately viewing the temple of Theseus, the Parthenon, or the Acropolis. An article from Peter shurgh 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• wish, and to leave the ancient varnish, under which the painting has resumed all its primitive splendour. • A foreign paper states, that 20 large chests lately ar rived ae 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 for the use of the Aus trians. It would appear, therefore, that that his Impe rial Highness has not travelled in vain in this country. The weather this year has been equally unseasonable almost every where. In America it has proved no less extraordinary thzat in Europe. There they have had snow about he mi4dle of last month : in Albany and Penning 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 of June, that the cold weather, and even frosts, continued : in the upper part of the state large 'cleles were pending, and the foliage of the fvesta was bAnled by the frosts. 11111ismie•mw
