1 1 iLl ti i t . '. ~;: ~:.~:. y.~,; MENCII PAPERS, tiluckAve.i) THIS mowaiNa.) PARIS, JULY 15.—We hail announced from trnother Journal, that hi 3 Majesty would receive the oaths of the new Marshals on the 25th of August next. Yesterday, after Masi, the Mar shals whose names follow, with their swords girded, took the oaths in presence 'of the prin cipal persons of the Court, viz.: The Duke of Conegliano, Count de Jourdan, Dukes of Tre viso, Tarentutn, Reggio, Albufera, Count Gott vion' tirtint-Cyr, Duke de Coigny, Count de . nonetile, Dukes de Feltre, de Valiny, and Count d e Perignon.. The Marshals of France who did not take the Oaths wet e either sick or absent. IJARSEILLE4, JULY 9.—According to the most recent news the pirates who sail under tl►e flag of Pet ion, Christopt►e, and Co. have taken seven English shipi ; b►►t have permitted those bearing other flags to esc+►l►e. SMYUNA, JUNs 12. —The French Captain I3ounerie has just arrived here, after having, been forced to abardon his ship. This brave Officer having met with two pirates, had a swart engagement, but not being able to defend himself longer, be threw himself into a small boat with his crew, and in spite of the enemy's fire escaped. De saved all his money. It seems to ns inconceivable that Lord Ex mouth, at the head of a considerable fleet, sboold have amused himself with treating and parleying' with people who have neither faith nor law. A new expedition from England is now spoken of; but how much evil would have been avoided if they had determined when the first expedition sailed not to rettrrn again. The people are also arming on all parts of the coasts of Italy, and great activity reigns in the ports of the Holy See. It would be truly curious to see the Papal expe dition advance before that of England, and the English Admiral avenged of the wrongs with which the Homan flag reproaches him. At last we begin to breath—Government seems willing to pot a stop to die cheats and vexations of its agents. Five persons belonging to the Customs have been' emptied, seven thrown into the sea, and others strangled. It is thus tbat justice is rendered for the numerous extortions for which they are charged. The most amicable arrangements subsist be tween n ice and the Dey of Algiers. The.saccessor of M. Dttbois-Thionville, Con sul4lerrerat of France, Was received in a distin guished manner. In his first audience he com l i - rlimented the Dey in French, which was imine 'bluely translated into Arabian, but very badly. The Consul-General, wha perfectly understands Arabian, wAs itnpatient, and said petulantly to the Interpreter,----" It is not so ; you translate badly ; this word in my language must be ren dered by such a word in thine ; this is what, I • said ; do not change my expressions." In effect, what the Consul said was of more avail then what the Interpreter made him say ; for the Dey, seized with enthusiasm, cried—" Thy words are equal m Worth to those of the Prophet. 01 thou who speakest as I do, and yet art not as I ! It is a miracle either of thy God or mine. Embrace me ; let us always be friends, and let there he no longer any Interpreter between us.— At all times my Palace shall be open to thee." The Dey then pressed his hands and embraced him ; anti since that time the French have always been well treated at Algiers. NAPIAS, JULY I.—Some slight shocks of a n earthquake have been felt in this neighbourhood, and new volcanoes seem to threaten us. That which has opened in the Island of Tretniti oeelsions great fear. During the night of the 24th to the 25th the country was covered with a substance similar to flour of sulphur, and which smelt like it. This substance formed small brilliant fiakeit firm those bodies to which it attached itself. Alortaits about every where ; stout the Corltes hove orders to re-assure their parishioners, who are cosily frightened with effects very natural in these countries. LAUSANNH, JULY 9,—Two bonses, have been lately elestro'yed by an avalanche of earth in the Commune of Rappel;.Canton of St. Gall.

Our militia are 'Mich harassed by the constant and vigilant guard they are forced to keep, and by their, frequent march about the country in search of the insurgents, and in escorting those that are to be hung to their different places of exe cution on their owners' plantations.

All the neighbouring Islands from which we have heard were put under martial law as soon as they received intelligence of the insurrection in Barbadnes. The slaves in those Islands and in Demerara were secretly apprised of the plan laid, and were only waiting to hear of its success to follow the example of the negroes. In the course of their trials some of them con fessed that they had tak i en a dreadful oath, ce mented by the taste of human blood, to destroy the white men, but to preserve the %%tome!) and (+Hiker). About 1,000 of the insurgen6 hare already lost their lives. The slaves slyew :much sulkiness, who remain quiet and keep at: their work. Another• letter informs us that numbers of LTC groes have been shot and otherwise destroyed, and a great many more remain to.be executed: They were brought in by dozens every day. JAMAICA PAPERS. KINGSTOrt, MAY 18.—We feel particular gratii• fication in having it in our power to inform our leaders that the extent of the mischief supposed to have been committed at liktrhadoes by tie in surgent negroes has been greatly exaggerated. It now appears, by a letter frwn Sir James Leith to his Grace the Gover►lor, dated the 26th ult. that a partial revolt took place on the night of the 14th alt. in the parishes of. St. Philip, Christchurch, St. John, and St. George, and some of the negroes set five to the cane-pieces on a few estates. 'They were attacked and defeated on the evening of the 15th, and never afterwards made any stand against a regular. force. • There were 383 prisoners in confinement, and Sir James Leith's only remaining object was directed to- the discovery of the ringleaders and instigators of the insurrection, which has been attended with ruinous rifects to a few persons, but the greatest part of the ibluutl had sacred no injury. SOIJIII AMERICA. More News from Bolivar.—By. the schooner 'Mi norca, which left Itio-de.ia-llache on the 9th hyst. we learn that a dispatch-boat had arrived there from Santa Martha, in nine days, and brought accounts .that intelligence had reach ed that place that General Morillo hat) suffered a severe defeat by President Toripes and General Ut 'knit' a, second iu command, in the. rkeighbour hood of ()canna, which caused the former to retire on Mompox. The same accounts confirmed that . frro•m 400 to 500 of the Royal Army (the Cava dores). under Morales, had deserted and joined the Patriots. Six days previous to the departure of out in formant from Itio-de-la-liathe„ a vessel arrived' there from Carthagena, with dispatches for the : Governor there, and the Governor of La Guira ; she sailed the same day for the latter place, and, after being out five days, returned tOltio-de-la llache, where it was generally "Relieved that La Galva had beets taken possession of by Bolivar. Some time previot►s the Carvalbo Blanco, one of Bolivar's squadron, went into Maracaibo, it► bal last, under Swedish colours, but upon the vessel being recognized, and measures adopted to detain her, she got under weigh. A pilot-boat had also. been there under very suspicious circus►►stances, and under the French flag, which bud much alat•m ed the Government, and the people were all tinder arms. We intve it also confirmed that the spirit of revolut •ion Was taking deei► root, in consequence of. the cruelties which mark the career of the Spanish troops. No additional force had arrived from Spain as had been reported. Torices and Urdanitta had 8000 men, and enrolments were hourly taking Place of fresh troops. We continue to receive the most distressing ac 'counts of the -state of business at Sunderland.-The failure of COOKS and Co. has paralyzed every thing. Nearly the whole of the ship-carpenters have been discharged, and several vessels have come round frornStindeiland to Newcastle to load coals, which Iley CtlnfOt 110 W procure at Sunder hind. Cr edit is completely destroyed, for since the failure of , the Rank not a single hill h as been paid.—Never, perhaps, it) any place before were the ruinous effects of a sudden deprivation - of ca pital so strikingly exemplified, I-low to avert the witsl ruin of the town will be a consideration of the greatest difficulty, but one to which the at tention of dig inhabitants ought immedjately to be directed. At Newcastle, confidence, which for the moment had been shaken,` is n ow , we , are happy to, state, in a great oteasure,-restofed ; in the only case in which a temporary assistance ap peared to be necessary,. the Bank of England is understood to have granted the most effectual sup- . port--a proot that where Bankers are possessed of real property to meet their engagements, the holders of their notes have nothing to fear horn any momentary check which their circulation may stistain.—(Tyrie Mercury.)

'!'trough this is a day On which, according to prediction, we might rest ,upon our oars, and suffer our Town Readers to digest the news which would never reach those in t!►e Country, according to their own fancies ; yet us the sky still keeps over our heads without tumbling down, and it is possible that the Seer of Bologna, like the prog nosticating Prophets of the Talents in this Coun try, may be mistaken, we deem it adviscable to pritsue the, ordinary current of our occupation, unmoved amid The Crush of Nations and the Wreck of Worlds. Not but that we arc duly impressed with the perils of this era ; for who can be so sensitively alive to the effect of ! Spots in The SUN as we ? But then, even were the worst to come, it would he some consolation to be vitrified with our pens in hand and paper before us, to the best of our abilities doing our duty. But perhaps we have devoted enough of space to this foolish topic, the very talk about which,. and the genera) ridicule attached to it, afford t strong a proof that credulity is not extinct in huntan nature, as even trie act of the selfish old Lunatic, who took a bond of fate and destroyed herself for fear of being destroyed. The French Papers of Monday, like those of England, indulge in many witticisms upon the approaching end of the World ; but as they are a nntion of Jesters, the practice appears , ,pwie . clta racteristie than with us, who call ourselves a gave, and serious people. About - Naples, however, it dots not appear that the prophecy of the " be all and the end, all here" is reckoned any thing like a yoke. 'They have had - some slight . indications of Earthqoake, and new are discharg ing sulphurous powders over the land, upon which , the alarm has become so great that the Ceretei have received directions to compose the spirits of their terrified parishioners. The intelligence, which under more auspicious circumstances than these Ides of March which are come, but are not yet • over, would have been of some interest in our mundane sphere, consists of a description , of the ceremony of taking the oaths by the new Marshals of France, and not a few o f the old ones. The Moniteur contains a copy or this oath, and states, that the Duke and Duchess or. Bratty, with a brilliant Court, witnessed the grand spectacle. Among our other extracts will be found severvi relative to the Piracies of the Barbary States, and to the offences which engross the attention and excite the vengeance of Europe against these unpriucipled Marauders. A veryludicrous story of en interview between the Dey of ALGIERS and the French ConSul-General may be perused as a humourous episode, relieving the darker shades of this gloomy picture. It is in the true French style, and we can only hope that the facetious Consul may not, in sonic moment of caprice, ex perience the fate of one of his predecessors, JEAN Box ST. ANDRE, of revolutionary memory. There is also another very nbinisical pat a graph ill these papers. After noticing these preparations in Italy, which, it is presumed ave. to be directed against the Corsairs, the Writer says :—" ft would be truly curious to see the Papal expedition advance before that of England, and the English Admiral avenged of the wrongs with which the Homan flag reproaches him." It , would indeed be curious to see the POWs Sailors avenging any wrong ofireil to the British flag ! We have received Jamaica Gazettes to the I 9th of May, from which we have selected an article of considerable interest relative to the Spanish M a i n . We are sorry, however, that it is with out a date, to enable us to judge more accurately of its importance. We ate happy to say the,Yrincess . CUARLOTTE continues much better in her health.
