Assizes. Ile was accused of having, on the 9th of last August, made use of seditious esprettsions near the house of I.leaumarchaig, which were calculated to provoke civil war and the overthrow of the G o v e r n . moot. The Jury found him guilty of the seditious part of his indictment ; but acquitted him of that which charged him with language calculated to pro voke civil war end the overthrow of the Government. The Court, conformable to the 479th Article of the ORDINANCES OF THE KING, Louis, by the grace of God, &c. To all those whom it concerns ; Wishing to surroundour person with Ihemost respect able talents of those who have either given us a proof of them by the services which they have rendered to their country, or by their personal attachment to o s , we have resolved to form a Privy Council, re serving to ourselves the privilege of pointing out those affairs which we conceive are of importance, and particularly what concerns the superior Legislature. We have, therefore, decreed and do decree as follows Penal Code, sentenced him to five days coufinement, a fine of 15 francs, and to pay costs. By a sentence of (he Correctional Tribunal of Bourdeaus, of the 25th of September, one Leonard Pauly, the master of a coffee-house in that city, was condemned to pay a fine of 500 francs, for having uacd in a public place outrageous language against the Duchess of Angouleme. This was the maximum of punishment applicable to his offence. Many other individuals, accused of having uttered seditious cries, tending to provoke the overthrow of the legitimate Government, have by divers decisions of the Council Chamber of the Civil Tribunal of Bourdeauz, been sent before (he Royal Court. The Council founded their decisions upon their incompe. tency to take cognizance of crimes to which were attached infamous punishments. ANTIBES, SEPT. 20.—11 is hoped that this im portant city will be saved from being occupied by the Allies. The misery which pre►ails in its environs cannot be decribed ; but the reports of the signature of peace give us reason to hope that there will be a speedy end pot to our calamities. VIENNA, SEPT. 24.—Private letters, which, how ever, want Confirmation, state, that the coronation of the Emperor es King of Venetian Lombardy b definitively postponed; however his Majesty will re. ceive, during his residence at Milan, the horopec, his Italian fu hi pet s. FRENCH FUND: 59 r. GO c. The emigrations from France to the United Stales, in order to obtain release from the burdens of the contributions, and to escape from the civil commo lions which are dreaded, have been very considerable. We are told, that the families of Marshal BRUNE and of Colonel Lantooartne have already taken their departure ; and it is publicly known, that Marshal Nay, with his whole establishment, will pursue the same destination should he obtain his acquittal. We have a communication from a Gentleman who was in company with five branches of families who are taking their passage for America, and who will carry with them property to the amount of one million of francs. The population in the silk manufacturing provinces to the southeast of the kingdom, all Pro testants, it is apprehended, will be reduced by the same cause to the number of 60,000. Three vessels, of the description called country ships, now in preparation for speedy dispatch to the Indian Seas, are, it is reported, to take out large sup. ;,lies of stores for the Cape of Good Hope, the Isle of France, Ceylon, and, according to some state ments, to St. Helena also. Numbers of individuals, and some families, are also going out, upon employ. ments, civil and military, at the several settlements, constituting considerable additions to the colonial establishments. Not less than ten additional Medical Officers are going to Ceylon. Some troops are going in these ships. Of the London ships expected from Jamaica. there still remain two unaccounted for—the Isle of Monet and the Preston, an old Indianian of 900 tons burt hen. The Congregation of the Missions has sent to Rome a list of all the Christians who are prisoners among the Infidels. There is an account of 40,000 in the Regencies of Algiers and Tunis. It seems that the Jesuits, who had been hitherto protected in Tunis, and who had made successful incursions into the interior of Africa, have given umbrage to the Government. Several have arrived at Rome. It is believed, that his Holiness, according to the wish which he has expressed, will make an appeal to the Powers of Korcipe, to deliver the Christians from the hands of the Infidels. A brief Address to the Prince Regent of ENGLAND is talked of. At our Old Cliffe Fair, on Monday last, between 15 and 40,000 sheep and lambs were penned, which in the early part of the day went off pretty freely, at prices somewhat higher than were given at the New Fair; but this did not last long; former prices were resorted to, at which the sales went on, steadily till evening, when, we believe. there were not very many remaining unsold. The Kentish buyers in their attendance were respectable ; and they gave no in. considerable bustle to the fair. Horned cattle were but little in demand, some few sales were however effected, and one amongst them we observed, was a yoke of very pretty four-year old oxen, at 401. ; but for a pair of an inferior frame, at six years old, we noticed, that no purchaser could be hand at 301.
