EBi• 4palltsicrivt- LONDON, MONDAY, AUGUST 14. Time (Muck, p. m. The Paris Papers of Thurs. - lay arrive.: :as.: night. T'aey contain fur.hlr , ia•sticlar; r,F events :iiat have occum.l ia partbdarly was the scene of mast horrible lrat,:lt:ties. Tito great .flaughter took place on the 16th ult. 'File po7ulace possessed themselves of a conshierable quantity of arms, and a powder magazine, and carri..l by fa.sault tiiree of the principal forts, and massacred a number of the troll's of the garrison. They set at liberty • t:e galley slaves and 150 felons, and afterwards divided into two parties, one anxious for the British .Constitution, the other that of Spain, and others called out for Independence and a Republic, and commenced firing upon the citizens. Several Palaces have been burnt, anal several Nobl;:s assassinated. -The infuriated mob also put to death the Port Cap tain of Palermo. The neighbourbead of that city presented an indeseribaide scene of slaughter, and tl e appearance ofa field of battle. The captain tha vessel who brought the. intelligence was be calmed off Palermo till the 20th ult. when a brisk firing still continued. At Messina ull was tranquil, the people were mimed in fetes an.! njoicings, on account of the proclamation of the Constitution. The Austrian Olserver of the 29th of July pretends that no decision on the subject of recent events in Naples has yet been taken by the Imperial Court; and that, betUre cautuitting itself, it wishes to know the point of view in which these events arc regarded by the Allied Pow.rs. It also contradicts, in the most positive manner, the reports us to several Aus trian regiments having been rent into the Venetian territory. The Neapolitan Ambassador to the Court of Vienna, Prince Coriati, has left that city, having been refused au audience by the Emperor of Austria and Prince Metternich, a convincing proof of the angry feeling of his Imperial Majesty with respect to the revolution in Naples. The latest Alialrid Journals which bad reached Paris, contain, it is said, nothing interesting. The Quotidienne, however, on the authority of a private letter, asserts, that the .4postofic insurrection in Gallicia is not yet put down ; but the other Journals are totally silent on the suliect. According to advices from Corfu, a pacific arrangement had been concluded between between Ali Pacha and the Porte, on condition that the former shall continue to administer the Pacha- lick confided to him by the Porte, without inter fering in any manner with the Government of the territories which he has usurped. The Assize Court of Chaumont (department of the Upper Marne) has sentenced to two years' imprisonment, and amerced in the penalty of 100 franca, an individual named Hu'.lll, convicted of having publicly pronounced the fallowing atrocious words :—" The Duke d'Angou leme, on po.sAing through Lyons, gave orders to fire on the populace ; he is now going to pass through this town (Brienne) and we will serve him v the Duke de Berri has been served." The carriage in which her Majesty will go to the House of Peers daily, is expected to be finished this day. It is not what is called u state carriage, but an • elegant serviceable town vehicle, which may be opened in landau fashion, and is in every particular very commodious. The pannels are of a bright yel low, elegantly emblazoned with the royal arm.; the coach-hex is covered with a rich hammer-cloth, hearing the royal arms, beautifully embroidered. The harness is finished ; it consists of a complete suit for six horses; it has been completed in the kat style of workmanship ; the ornaments are of brass, gilt, and comprise all the to =glut insignia of roy alty. The Clerk of the General Meetings in Leicester has received an official letter, stating that ',allotted men in the militia, assembled for annual training and exercise, are not entitled to half bounty, under the 122 d sect. ache 42d Geo. 111 , chap. 90, unless the militia are called out mid embodied toi actual service. The will of the late Bishop of Winchester has been lod,;ed in Ductore-coyntnons. The property is sworn under 1i 0,04501. TIM NATIONAL REGISTER..

It has been a general complaint amongst the fishermen of the River Thames, for a considerable time• that their trade has suffered in proportion to the losses in other trades, but from causes wholly distinct from those commonly assigned, and not at all to be traced to the source so liable to public cor. damnation. Ever since the establishment of the gas-light com. pany, it has been the opinion of the oldest fishermen, that their Itthours have been almost entirely counter acted, it being no longer possible fur fish to live in the river, in consequence of the offensive stuff which flows into the Thames from the pipes formed by the Company to let off the refuse. [laving ascertained that a mortality so injurious to their interests took place every day, and that the fish which survived the poison died immediately upon being caught, and in a short time became unfit fur ase. great num. her of fishermen determined to petition the Lord Mayor against the Company, with the view of obliging them to find some place to contain the fees, where their means of livelihood could not be affected. They accordingly drew up a petition, declaring that they and their families, and the villages on the borders of the Thames, whose sup port almost exclusively depend upon the sale of Thames fish, were sustaining most grievous losses through the conduct of the gas light company ; and the interference of the Lord Mayor, who had so much control over the river Thames, would, in all probability,have the effect of influencing the company to remove the nuisance, by which legal measures, at the expence of the city, might be avoided. The petition further stated, that, as might be expected, the brood of fish in the River Thames, being cont. paratively of so delicate a kind, were upon the point of extinction, and that no cause was this alteration in the health of the fish ascribable, but that which formed the ground of the above-mentioned cam plaint. The Lord Mayor immediately referred the petition to the city Solicitor, who questioned some of the petitioners upon the subject of complaint, and upon learning front them that they had not made any experiment upon fish, by placing in some of the offensive matter of which they complained, advised them to do so, in order to ascertain whether the come pany were chargeable with committing a nuisance. In the event of its being proved that the trade suffers by the gas, the company, it seems, are to be proceeded against if they persevere in giving vent to their pipes in the way at present preserved. The Ist and 2d Regiments of Somerset Militia are to be ahsetubled, ti,r the purpose of being train ed and exercised for 28 days; the former at Taun ton, on the l i th September, and the latter at Wells, on the 1 Bth September.
