AVnit It ri)IiXIGN * INTEL;IGENCE. PAP:EitS pants; Aim it ff—Vraterday, slier mass, there was a grand reception at the Rossi Palace. Amongst the personages . received by the King, were remarked several of the newly created Peers. The journey of his Majesty to St: Cloud will, it is said, take place earlier titan usual, and at the com mencement of next month ; he will prolong his stay there to the month of A.igust, on account of the very ontsiderabte alterations, &c. which the Royal apart meats at the Tuileries indispensably reqiiire. On SOnday last, Marshal Jourdan, ss ten is completely recovered from the effects of his late accident, had the honour of paying his court to the King. Lord Whitworth arrived in Patis on Sunday last. A letter from Vienna states, drat the Duke de Mont fort (Jerome Bonaparte) has obtained permission to have a house in that city for the purpose of occasional residence. Accounts from Offenbach mention, that the Count de Las Cases has taken, near that town, a house with a garden, fur tone year, acrd that he lives there in great re tirement with his family. He receives no visitors b u t his immediate friends and some of the inhabitants of Frank fort. A report was circulated, that some permits who are considered as secret friends of Bonaparte had come a great distance to see M. de Las Cases, but it was void of foundation. It is said that certain of his friends have ' b een endeavouring to induce him to take up his re sidence in France, but that lie persevetingly rejects that proposition. The woman named Baneal was exposed, the 31st of March, at nine o'clock in the morning, at the Place de Toulouse, with three men condemned to be branded. A detachment of infantry and a guard of cavalry, formed in a circle around the scaffold, kept out with difficulty the curious, who had collected in crowds to the place of punishment. TheY ace Royale, and the avenues of the adjacent streets, coill I not cousin them. While be holding this woman, every individual recalled the details of the frightful crime in which she had been an accom plice, and the still more horrible one she had meditated. We are assured that she shed tears on hearing the cries of malediction of which she was the object. At ten o'clock she was branded, and reconducted to prison. Some dogs of a peculiar race are coining from the coast of Terra Nova. These animal* are trained, it is said, to save persons from drowning; they leap with ra pidity to a great distance in the water, and dive to ,he depth of several toises to bring to land persons who have had the misfortune to fall into the water. The obsequies of Lord Dormer were celebrated on the 4th instant in the Church of St. [loch. His Lordship had completed his 60th year. He died of a stroke of apoplexy and paralysis, with froth of which he was conjointly attacked about a month ago. Ile had the gaud fortune so remain perfectly sensible to the last mo ment, of which he availed himself to solicit every spi ritual comfort, which he received with au edifying piety. He had led an uniform oliristian life. Mild and amiable in disposition, affable, and polished by educa tion, disinterested in his affairs, always noble in his conduct ; of those who approached him, the greater number had reason to praise him, none to complain of hint. His death is a great loss to his friends, by whom he was honoured and esteemed—to his relatives, whose heart he possessed, by his obliging and delicate atten tions—and the poor, of whom he was the compassionate father and benefactor. The faintly of Lord Dormer, always professing the Catholic religion, lost the greater part of their privileges in the reign of Charles 11., at the unfortunate era when the Catholic Lords, unable to re concile their principles to the new hill directed against them, renounced their scats in the upper house to pre serve the integrity of their faith. News from Malta states, that from the 7th to the tOth ult. a terrible tempest ravaged that island. Various ships, at anchor in the principal port, were upset, and the ves sels which were at a certain distance front the coast dis appeared. The damages caused by this gale are estimated at two millionssterling. Yesterday there was a public sitting of the Chamber Deputies. The order of the day called for the dis ussion of the projel of law relative to the monopoly of tobacco, which, after a short debate, was adjourned till the morrow. 4 report was made on various petitions, amongst which was one front Captain Pource, the gre nadier who saved the life of Bonaparte, at St. Cloud, on the !mil of Brumaire. He claimed the full payment of the pension of 600 francs granted hint on that occasion, by the Consular Government, tinder the title of a na tional recompense, and also his half-pay of 600 francs, which together amounted to an annual sum of 1,200 francs ; but as the law of the 15th of May forbids the receipt of two pensions of a different nature, that which Captain P ce received tinder the title of a re compense had been rescinded, and he only enjoyed half- pav, agreeably to his rank. - On this subject, the reporter observed, that in thiscase the law, in its application, was in opposition to the starter. The King, in that solemn deed, had guaran teed to alt Frenchmen the pensions and ranks which they enjoyed. The half only of that promise had been fulfilled towards the ?etitioner i if his half. pay, which represented active pay according to his rank, could not be received in add . to the pension of which he was previously in full enjoyment, the petitioner should be placed on active service, or it could not be denied they were unjust towards him. The Commission therefore recommended that the petition should be referred to the 7 " lll missiob of E thesditute, which was adopted by the (Amber. THE I4ATIOI4AL* REGISTER. FRAIIIrroaT. APalt. I.—The piddle mind at this moment is exclusively occupied relative to the inform'. Lion obtained fruits the assassin of M. de Kotzebue, be fore his death, and the private motives . which could ac tuate him toconmeit the crime. All that is positively known is, that the assassin, according to his owis state ment, quitted Jena early 011 the morning of the nt h March; that from thence he proceed :A to Erlangen, where he requested a passport. for the borders of the (Maine.' He set off from Erlangen on the 18th,, and ar- . jived post on the everting of the 27th at Loreh; five leagues from Alanlieint, on the other side of. the Rhine. At Lurch he hired a peasant's cart, and arrived at Man heim on the 23d, at tell o'clock its the morning. The wretch displayed. much composure, even after commit ting the deed ; tie has shown no symptoms of repentance whatever. His answers, which he has been permitted to make in writing, as far as was consistent with his enfeebled condition, state, M. de Kotzebue deserved death ; that lie had no innate revenge against him ; hut that for a long time he had resolved upon his death, uu account of the crimes of which he had been guilty against Germany ; that he was tranquil because lie had succeeded ; that he had no accomplice, and that his crime could only be imputed to hinisell. This fanatic j appeared to fed no other regret than for the relatives of his victim. Yesterday, his attendants were compelled to tie his hands, to prevent him from teaming uff the bandages and opening his wounds. His exterior is agreeable ; and all the information which has been col lected with respect to his conduct before the assassina tim is very favourable. The body of M. de Kotzebue has been opened ; all the organs were found its as sound a state as those of a young man; it is therefore He that he might have Toed to an advanced sae. He was 57 years old, and pro fessed the Lutheran religion. CALCUTTA PAPERS. -....- CALCUTTA, Nov. 10.—Our intelligence from the interior of India speaks favourably of the general tran quillity of the country, and the satisfaction of the people at living under a Government whose aim, as well as whose interest, it fortunately is, to preserve to them the blessings of abundance, security, and peace. There are found here and there, however, refractory brigands, who draw around themselves a set of desperate adventurers, and seek, in resistance to established authorities, and in plunder of the peaceable and industrious part of the po. pulation, that gain which neither their virtues nor their talents would procure for them in a regular and well. ordered community. The Beitool Valley and the whole of the Nagpore country have been prin•ipally the scene of these late revolts, and we have given . the details of the operations against the revolters there, as they have occurred from time to time. The most stubborn and conrageous of the enemies with whom our troops have had to contend, were Arabs and Goands, and among the slain the first have been always the most numerous,as being constantly found the hottest of the fight. Lieutenant Cruikshank has particularly distingnished himself in these contests, and Lieut. Lane, of the 7th Cavalry, has been so closely engaged as to have had two horses shot tinder him within the last two months, be sides being wounded himself. By their small detach ment, a march of 40 miles was made, and two battles fought within the space of 23 hours, and the troops bore all with firmness and cheerfulness, though the roads over which they marched were unusually bad.and they tasted no food till the close of their gallant labours. These roads no the territory of Nagpore are so bad, that it is said only six camels survived out of 46 that were employed fur a very limited period near the bank of Nurbudda. _ ilajcir Bowen, of the Madras army, has also distin. gutshed himself in seseral gallant actions with these Cmands and Arabs, and particularly in an affair against Booardaee, where the rising of the stream in some nul lahs having cut off his expected reinforcements, he bravely dashed on with only ith) infantry, and drove fit e timet that number out of the town before hint, 300 of whom were afterwards cut tip by the cavalry. Major Wilson has also earned his portion of military reputation, by the taking of Pawnee, another strong post, seated on the hanks of a river, about '25 miles to the S. E. of Nagpore. The details of this gallant storm are such as reflect the highest credit on the coulage and skill of those engaged. The Mogul horse, who are attached to Major Wilson's party, behaved also with great bravery, and evinced, what the conduct of lhdian tr ops has alvvays so conspicuously shrvvii. that good leaders and brine chiatains are almost all that are wanting to make diteiplined soldiers and courageous men. The last letters we hate. front Husseinahail are of the date of the (oth of October, arid they diforni — us that Sheikh Dolton, a celebrated Pitularee Chief, has made his appearance in the Beitool Valley with a train of fol lowers, and that Appah Sahib himself was about to make a otovetwot to the elstward. The Madras troops, adds our correspondent, are tak ing fort after Post in the neighbourhood of Nagpore ; and the Ex-Rajah's resources, he adds, are'so coin p!etely exhausted, that be may soon be expected to effect au escape Irom his own troops, and throw himself on the mercy of the enemy whom he had so fruitlessly braved. CALCUTTA, OCT. so. Hossmoacao,— We have been favoured with private letter from this quarter,which states, that though the country is in a state of quiet at present, the revolting disposition of the people is likely to furnish sufficient occupation for the troops in the neighbourhood. Ap pah Sahib is said to be collectins Lis forces in all dint• 1* 'ions, and several parties of his ailh-rents have secured themselves on forts and strong holds at b u t a short dis 7 tante ftom Nagpore. A detachment of t-onps had goni out against their, hut accounts of the success of their operations had not reached. 'Major Bowen, of the Ma dras I.7.,tablislintent, had killed about 300 of the Goar.ils and Arabs who were in the &into! Vallee, and stil further skirmishes were likely to take place before per manetit tsamptillitywould be restored. POONAH —By recent letters from this Place, we learn, that his 111.1 j. sty's li;th regiment of tout were on their march from 13mishay to Scrorir,whielt adds ortlfirmation to what we before stated, regarding the state of the late Prishwa's territory, and the ner• es sity that existed for additional force being sent into il•at rphirter. 1:110.11 T 1: L.SD.4 Y MGM 'S .G.IZETTE.

Letters from Cadiz, received on Thursday, state, that the expedition for Chili is to consist exclusively of ships of war ; and that the troops are to be sent to Portobello, to cross over to Panama. It seems, however, questionable. that this be really the inten tion of the Spanish Government, as it has before found this plan impracticable, owing partly to the unhealthiness of the isthmus, and partly to the wan: of shipping at Panama. It would require a naval superiority to convoy light transports from Callao to Panama ; and afterwards, whey they had receiv ed the troops on board, to protect them back to Callao.
