The King went at three o'clock to Malmaison. - General Carotid will he interrogated separately 'the day after to-morrow by M. Messier, Judge of Instruction.

Hominy, will be interrogated to-morrow. The widow of the celebrated naturalist ton died on Friday fart. at the age of 97, in the Jethro du Roi, where she had a re-idence since the death of her husband. This worthy spouse of the companion of Buffo'', united the endowments sit the intellect to the qualities of the heart. She had composed in her youth the romance of 2'lie 'dues le Desert, a work feeble, - trithent &n€ , 'but which is read with 'wise interest. The directors and professors of the larilindb Roi attended the funeral of this respected WOlllllll, in tending to render thereby the lest homage 'to the memory of their illustrious predecrisor. Saturday next being the Assumption 'Of The Blessed Virgin. tutelary Patroness of France. the 'clergy of the Metropolitan Church of Paris will make the urinal procession, named from the vow of Louis XIII.

Lieut.-General Canoel has not yet been interro gated; he was bitten out of prison only for a mo ment, to see his wife on her arrival from the pro *see. The interview took place in presence of the Judge of Instruction. M. de &Highs underwent this Lay, liter twelve o'clock, Ins last interrogatory.

On the 7th of this mouth lightning fell on a farm situated near the village of Laxenoy, common« of Bourg'', the property of the Baron Gailande de Cleinecy. Counsellor to the Royal Court. It was impossible to save the buildings arid part of a neighbouring sheep-fold. The crops of M. Cle mecy's unfortunate peas:ruts were the prey of the flames ; several animals were burned, and it was only the presence of mind of a soldier tbat saved flock of sheep. Last night, at half-past ten o'clock, a man of the age of 56, threw himself oat of the window of a second door. where he lodged. This man, it is id, was passeased of au income of 20,000 francs, and kept bat sate domestic. The sautives which led him to the rash act are unknown. Madensoiselte Mars has returned.

NAPO" JULY 16. the Monetary Lsw of his Majesty the King of the Two SiCities, dried Portici, April '2O, 1010, inairates a great advance-in this branch of politic ii economy, volitch the Neapolitan Guyer 1111 l etit has Made before that of any other European Statc,tiot excepting even Ea ;land, since by this law " the silver con. al.nir, and exclusively, and without any refereoce to the gdd coin of the State, is assumed as the standard h.r the inanition of all objects Of trade acd commerce." This highly-improved Monetary s3•fem is the fruit of many years medi ation, cud of the exertions of the. Minister of Finance, Chevalier de Medici. It was to have been phblished so long ago as the year 180, but war 'and invasion prevented it. Though it has been but n few months in force, the happy effects of it siresdy ►hew themselves, and money flows so abundantly into the mint, that the value of above a Million of ducats lies in burs ready to he coined, trinl it is out possible to execute all the orders. Under the title of " Ordinance of the Minister of Finance fbr Me execution of She 1414 Article of the Lam ow the Monetary Systeme if CNA April, 11119," 'the Chevalier de Medici has published an admir able and masterly explanation, and two tables which merit the attention of every thinking roan.— It is • remarkable phenomenon that we should see issue fr Naples (aliich general opinion in Eu rope, would represent as Elie most unenlightened country), roes of light, while in other countries it *is yet dark ; and 'this is not the first example in legislation and administration, in which Neapoli tan *Merv, if they have not opened the way, have, 'however, reiidered it 'wore practicable, as may tie instanced in Filangierie and Gullianis' writings on the Corn Trade. It may also be observed here, that Naples is the only c try in Italy where they have bail the good swine to reject hardly any of the - pod measures of Administration, which had been introduced in consequence of the late revolutions, as indemnity, thnegli au ausofficient one, for niaily evils, and are besides seriously intent upon extend ing tlirw to Sicily, which 'stands so much in treed of them. COLMAR, JULY 31. The metes whisqi several officers of 'the kit sing of Ai my of Occupation are stated to have spread at the Baths of Badeii, viz.—that prepara tions were making iu their corps to leave France in the autumn, and that several orders had already been ismed to cotifirm this opinion, is wholly un 'founded in respect to both the assertions, since no sueasiern have been taken in any of these corp., nor 'orders relative to such been issued. To draw positive conclusions from conjectures which are fre quently inserted in the French Papers would be very precipitate, especially at the present moment, as the question is not to be decided till the ap proaching Congress of the Allied Sovereigns. The Duke of Wellington will indeed begin at the end of the month of August the review of all the corps of the. Allied troops, of which he is the CoMmarider in Chief; but his jimmies for this pur pose will probably have as little influence on the departure or further stay of the Army of Occupa tion, as those he has rustle in each of the preceding years about the came time. That the Emperor of Austria May probably honour these reviews with his presence, is indeed the ardent wish of the Austrian corps, which basso long been separated front its So vereign and eiimitry, kat no order, or even hint, ;which cast give confidence or even prohalility to this hope.—( Anger/wine Zeitung. to Avg. 8.)

TUESDAY, Auaim 18, 181 TUE QUEEN.—The account of the state of tit QUEEN yrbterday was— " Her Majesty coniinees much the saw." Her MAJESTY was in a very composed and com fm table state during Sunday. From dermnii Papers received last night, we learn that the Neapottan Coveru►dent hits adopted a new system of coinage, in which silver coin alone, and without any reference to the gold coin of the State, is assumed as the standard fur the valuatio►► of all objects of trade dm! commerce. The country is indebted for this improvement to the wisdom and perseverance of the Chevalier 1)E 111EDICI, and it would have been carried into effect so far hack as the year 1803, had not the war inter ropted the progress of domestic economy and useful arts. An article from Colmar contradicts the report that preparations are making in the several corps of the Army of Occupation to leave France in the ensuing autumn; no such preparations having been made, nor even orders to that effect r-t issued.— Although that event may be confidently antici pated, such prep walnuts or orders would he pre mature at the present moment ; they would, in some to wore, supersede the neceleilty of the en suing Congress of Sovereigns at Aix-la-Chapelle, by whom the subject is to lie taken into considera tion, and whose first will be the first announcement of this determination.
