The new organisatinn of the rysten of education in France has not Ter /pointed such Intl: as the Euel soft en:cacti. e, therefore, direfteJ the celebrated Counsellor of State. Fouacsor, the di relor of the pubiic instruition, to travel during the present summer through the interior provinces, and to give him an account of the results of his local investigations re] Alec to the sycern of iastruaion. The Lycea, in particular. fail of answering the de sired end. Convinced of the deft is of this method, the Emperor NA roucors became more favourably disposed towards the religious orders fonnerly de voted to the instruftion of youth ; and, therefore, previous to his departure for Italy, he declared, in the Council of Store, his intention of giving to monks the superintendance of the inferior schools, after the Minister of the Interior and or the Eccle siastical Department had already taken measures s for the restoration and public authorisation of those bodies. But the Counsellor of State MOUNIER, V:110 firmly vindicated the principle of the suppres sion of all ecclesiastical orders, opposed the in tended measure with such warmth, and was so zealously supported by four other m-mb.ers, that this projeft, which was not sapported by a single voice, was deferred sine die. It was formerly a la•.v in the e::-republic of Genoa, that the Done should not leave that city on pain of forfeiting his dignity. A French Monarch, Louis XIV. caused the fast exception to be made to this rule. 't he Genoese had supplied Algiers, which was bombarded by the Fiends, with ammunition, and Spain with ships. For this °fence Louts or dered Genoa the Superb to be bombarded; and in February, 1034, compelkd the Goiernnvent to send a deritation, with the 1)•sos at its head, to his pardon. * I I s • LONHON, THURSDAY. iticv 18. We !la ve received some Foreign Papers, but none laier date than the 7th instant. We have made w extradts from them, which will be fouttil in teresting. No account of or from I.r.ad Nttsoit had arrivel in town when this Paper was put to press. The party prints do not appear to feel much anxiety upon the subjed, having matter, to them, of much more importance, in re:ording the jealousies, and fight in; the battles of the resp:etive Chiefs to whom tl.ey have sworn fealty and allegiance. One of these journals has singled out Viscount SIDIIOOTiI for its hero, and never ceased to extol him as a Saint since his resignation. It says, his Lordship and his friends have been a champions and martyrs" in their pure faith : it boasts his " sweet consolation" —it deprecates the a viperous slander" upon his charafter—and it warns the unbelievers in his Lord transcendent purity and talents of their latter end, in this prophetic notice, Let them not dream that their time will tivt come—that it is not at hand." Mother Cole herself, were she alive, would be ashamed of such cant. It out-herods Herod." Viscount SIOMOUTH is, we believe, a pious and religious man, but it does not -therefore follow that he must be praised in the language of the conventicle, or that of the congregation of a field preacher. This sort of nonsensical rhapsody , is perhaps not so reprehensible as the condo& of the Papers on the other side, politely denominated " the MELVILLZ Pack." One of Inc latter yester day contained the following paragraph : u But we trust Lord Sidrnotith has not cal:tasted quite so well in desiring his resiriation t• he notified to the Prince of Wales before he •d it to M•. Pitt, and perhaps before he notified it to the King. Does Lord Sidniouth tno turn about to worship the rasing Sun? As the Kilt's sight fails, ilees the Prince of Wolin shine with more lustre?—Alas, pour old king Lear!" VVe wiiii we could migake the allusion in till, passage. Leaving, however, its indelicacy aside, we venture to asicrt that nothing ever was more in applic.sble. * The Illustrious Personage alluded to firs nothing'but rank and dignity in common with King Lear. Never did a Sovereign sway the sceptre of England so rich in Royal offspring, and so en- throned in their aff.:tflions. There are no Reganc, nor (iontrilt of his stock ; and, 25 to the 4. rising sun" appealed to, we be;icvc His Royal High ness might truly say, in the words of our gallant Hanalei address to his Royal Father— ..

The wisdom and moderation of Lord I IA anWICKE'S government have produced the most beneficial cons:lnce ces to Ireland. The benefit arising from Mr. Foss. ea's sew syiirss is at least problematical; the ex pence heavy and cert a in.— MIS, I think. is the general feeling of the great major.ty of the people 'vire, who would, I doubt riot, independent of a thou:aad other considerations, most willingly purchase the continuance of the former amongst us by the resignation of the later. A great improvement is now carrying •on under U^ immediate eye of Cloverament, at the west end of the town. The want of a direa and convenient communication between the Garrison and the Royal Hospital at Kilinainham, where the Commander in Chief generally resides, has been long felt and la mented ; but that want will be soon remedied, a number of men being now employed in opening a new road from Usher's Island through the Long Meadows to the grand entrance at the I lospital, and which will communicate with the • Barracks by a handsome iron hn Ige threivn across the Liffey. Not a word of news: the invention of the alarmists seems exhausted."

It i. re:wired, that all the ships at Antigua left th:d is"and u ;der conery of a sloop of war, about eight hours betore the Combined Fleet passed that hand. The Edinturek and B. rwl. 7 ; Parket, Cart. Lien, from Liver po.:1 for London, was captured old Dover, on the 19th ult. by three French Pt ivateers. The uniform of the troops on board the• Combin ed Fleet is blue turned up with red, :ilia a round hat, turned up nn one side with a lea-her. The °dicers' dress is laced with gold. The French and Spanish ships exchanged cflicers. The Northumberland Militia are to he quartered _at Chatham. The first division passed through Dartfoid on Tuesday ; the remainoler arrived at the inane place yesterday, and will proceed for their de stination day. At a Court of . Mayoralty held en .Saturday at Norwich, the letter for Sheriff was sent to JAMES PAGE I and on Tuesday, at a corporate as sembly. Mr. PA C. E was discharged from serving that office, agreeable to his request, on paying the usual fine. A letter from ‘ladras, dated 4th February, rmn tions, that the Asia and the Alzrquis Iretiellesi, on their passage from Madras to Vizagapatam, were chased by a Fr: nch frigate near the latter place ; the result of the chace was n'it known on the 4th, at which time the other ships wae waiting their return to dear %ladr4s. The Ada and Marriis We/inky had each 150 soldiers on hoard. . _ Ship letters, inclnsinl bills of ladinl, per the 1— gs, lloiorre:r, from Oporto to London, were re ceived a few days since from • Portsmouth. The Captain (Hot nt-rcii) is since arrived. He conCrrm the report of the • capture of his ship ; and luit'ler states, that he v:as put on board a neutral, with p.lrt of his crew, and that his ship was taken into a Spanish port. He expresses his apprehensionr :cr the satety of the 11 ar711011 . ,f, Capt. COW A o, aid the Hope, of Hull; and confirms the c.ii-xure of the Jame, of Dumfries. The grounds upon which the Spanial 7 ds have cap tured American ships, are, we presume, their havirg En,dith property on board. It appears that the Spaniards release the vessels after taking out the prop;rty. The American ships Eagle, SH A LIM, and Jefii-rton, Rsr.u srorn, front Liverpool to the Medi terranean, which were taken and carried into Alge siras, have been released, after their cargoes had been landed. The former is arrived at Leghorn, and the latter at Malaga. It is probable that to-morrow we shall receive au thentic accounts of the capture of the Gtotiow, as the Captain of a Danish ship which arrived at Plymouth on Monday states, that he saw a large foreign anparently of 80 guns, standing up the Cli tnn_d.

In the Mani:fir of the 17th June, No. 263, we field att article tindei• the head 7"Ae liagae, in which the use of the French language h represented to be so general in the Batavian Republic. that the language of the country should seem to be on the point of mak ing room for the former. It is rather surprising that a col respondent from Holland could have slippei into such an absurdity,especially at a time whentheDutch language, rich and beautiful in itself, is more and more cultivated and improved every day, and when every exertion is anxiously made to accelerate its progress. It is well known, that about nine years ago, a new Professorship of Dutch Literature and Eloquence was established at Leyden, and filled by a Professor, whose success was equal to his talents. The numerous Literary Societies which besides have been established throughout the whole extent of the Repablie, fully attest the diligence e.nployed to em bellish the language of the country, and this dili gence is even among the exertions of the supreme power of the state, which not long since has given additional proofs of the interest it takes in the re gularity and harmony of the vernacular tongue. Far, therecore, from apmehend;ng that the Dutch language will fall into disuse, it may be easily fore seen, that hereafter it will be spoken and written with more propriety than it bas been hitherto. Per • haps the article to which we have alluded, refers only to Dipleinatle Societies, in which, from polite ness to for..i jners, the French language is genet ally spoken; but it argies great ignorance of the cus toms and usages prevalent among Dutch f trnili^s, to-suppose that the assertion made in that article Can ever be applicable to them.
