FRENCH VAMUS, LTtECRIVLD THIS NORNING. ?KRIS, AuG,l4.—A frightful crime bus. been 'Committed at Corrobct, near Montmirail, in the assassination of M. Parntentier, officiating Minis ter of this parish, awl of his servant. There are only 40 homes in the pariAt. The assassins kill . - ed their Victims by blows with a stick and a cleaver, and by stabs with a bayonet. They are unknown ; but three men who were , seen the evening before 44vandoing about the environs are suspected. Yesterday Madatue Gallatin, wife of the Pleni potentiary Minister of the United States, had .the )honour to he presented to the King. IlisMa icsty addressed her in English in the most obliging manner. This Lady was then presented to the Duchess of Anonleme, who received her with the greatest kindness. This morning a man having first thrown his bat into the water jumped in after• it himself. Several boats pushed off, but they had no sooner come tip to bins than thC'lll4ll, who could swim 'Nei) , well, dived, awl appeared agairiin another place. However he dived once too often, for the last time he sunk he did not reappear. Literature has just experienced a great loss. M. ,Alillevoye, distinguished for his excellent poetry, flied yesterday, of an affection hi the breast, aged 33 years. , The Procession . ot the Vort of Louis the 13t1) will take place to-morrow the 15th,,in the parish 'of Notre-Dame, and will go through the satbe streets and places as it did last year. Monsieur, Madame, the Duchess of Augouleme, the Duke and Duchess of Berri will follow the Procession, at which the Royal Court, the Tribunals, and Municipal Authorities of Paris will assist. During the whole of the time that public prayers were l'Arered up in the churches of Paris, Mad. Louise, Princess of Conde-Bourbon, and Abbess of Re. rniremont, went on foot from her hotel in Rue Saint-Dominitine to the parish church of Saint- Vile, in order to implore,the Divine Glace for the preservation of the fruits . ot the earth. By an Ordonnance of 10th the King has named W. Moreau, brother of the Illustrious Gerona of that name, administrator of the posts. The, Duke of Wellington is expected at Paris the 20th of this month. The Minister of Marine and the Colonies. has given orders for the departure of the fleet destined to Curly they .Baron Desbassayns de Richernont to the Isle Of Bourbon, who is appointed Intendant h place of M. nirchant. This expedition is <ornpuseil of the Pink Elephant, eortnuirided by the Captain of the Achille de Cheffontiiine, and cif the (3fronette, commanded 'by the Lieutenant of the vessel Len - loran. *We are assured it will set sail for R;ocl►efort towards the end of this Month. MADRID, AVG. I.—Letters.fromtadiz, dated July 23, announce that a ship coming from Ha siannah entered that port on the 23d ; it owed its sae arrival to the superiority of its sailing, the sea being infested by corsairs of the insurgents cf Spanish America, who stop every ship sailing . un• 'der the Spanish flag. On the 22d the ship the Saint-Jean-Baptiste, coining also from 'Javan nab, and . b-elonging to a. merchant ofliz, was captured at a distance of 4 leagues, and wirh. in sight of the city, after fighting a long time. It was taken by l boarding, and lost five men killed end two wounded ; the rest of the crew were put (in shore in a shallop. The ship Asia, the frigate Sabine, and a brig of war, immediately saile(l in pnisnit of the pirates. The merchants of Cadiz have also manned four light ships for the same purpose. This measure has a little • tranquil lized the people, who are, however, not yet assured upon the fate of the ships coming from the varioes Spanish possessions in America. — The number of the insurgent Corsairs has lately 'increased ostodishingly. They have reckoned up sit i.,`adiz eight which cruize upon these coasts. '.lshey are goterally Golettas, armed with six can nons. They go upon the coasts of Barbary to victual and sell their prizes. We hope that Government will put' a stop to the alarms of the Spani'sh connuerce, by taking efficacious means to destroy these robbers. It seems that the death of the Queen of Portugal is the cause of the delay of the arrival of the Princesses. Some persons say that they will not sail till the period for mourning is past, and the formalities of marriage lave taken vhice at Rio . Janeiro. Accdrding to others the Princesses may be expected at Cadiz every moment, awl the Duke of lufantatlo will go directly there to veceive theta. This Lord is at Sacedon with his Diajeoy, who will not return here till the 12th. VIENNA, AUG. 3.---The Duke Albert de Saxe- Teschen manifests the greatest attention to the Archduchess Charles..

We have made Extracts from HamburgbPapers to the o(h.-August; but unless silence on the topics .most interesting in that ,quarter be impor tant, they are destitute of.that character. We have heard that certain private letters have been received from America, the contents of which are also said to be corroborated by others from France, stating, that the subjects of the former country,' who happen to be resident in the latter, receive no very kind entertainment there the American Consuls, in particular, are reported to be treated with iasufficient respect ;some of whom are said to have in consequence resignethheir si tuations. It is also said, that the Americans themselves, now resident in France, indulge their tongues in undue license against the existing order of things. One of their own rapers speaks with proper re- prehension of their conduct in this respect ; and says, that it has been intimated to them by the French Authorities, that such language could not be tolerated in foreigners as subjected the natives of the kingdom to punishment. IVe recently adverted to the attempts which are making to seance our manufacturers, and to transfer our machinery to other countries, and by I fresh accounts we are confirmed in the truth of our 11 allegations; and We must again. exp: ess our regret, to learn that the chief person who is employed by certain French Projectors in Paris, for the pur pose of establishing manufactories in several parts of Flanders, is an Englishman.

From the third stockade a fire was directed against our troops, and unfortunately Lieutenant Walcott, of the Artillery, was severely wounded by a shot thrntu the lungs. leis also said, that Lieute nant Heron, Bth Native Infantry, and,Lientenant Earl, of the Pioneers, were slightly wounded. Six Sepoys were wounded, anti one killed. The stockade was found deserted next morning, the 17th, and the pass was taken possession of by Colonel Burnett's detachment. " The Commissariat Department is allow to receive important aid from the princely liberality of the Nuwab Lucknow. It is said that his Highness has collected 7,000 carriage bullocks, and 1,200 bearers, to facilitate the progress of the army in the field. " Yesterday morning nn express arrived from Major-General Ochterlony's camp, dated Etown dab, the 19th inst. The General had arrived at that place without seeing the enemy. Katman du() is only about fifteen miles north-east, of Etowndah, and between these two places the strong fortified post of Chesepance is situated, to which the Nepaulese have 'probably retired.
