FRENCH PAPERS. PArtts, APIUL 10.—Yesterday, before mass, which his Majesty beard in his apartments, he gave several private audiences. At three o'eloek, the King appeared at one of the windows of his apartments, and was saluted by the moat lively acclamations. The health of his Mitjesty is such us to afford the hope that he will forthwith resume his usual promenade. Lord Exmouth and Count Marcoff were pre sented to his Majesty. M. flioust has appealed against the judgment of the ttibtmal of Correctional Police. A movement of insubordination having maul- Tested itself in the third company of the Gardes du Corps against some of the Officers of that com pany, the King, in consequence of the statement laid befote him, has imMediately ordered its dis bandment by the following Ordinance. The equip ments of the company were re-conveyed yesterday to Versailles, where it is to be reconstituted. 41 Louis, &c...-We have ordered, and do order, as follows : " "rlie. Company of Noailles, of our Guards du Corps, is aisbanded. " It shall be Immediately re-farmed at Versailles. (Signed) " LOUIS." Dated Btll Ap6•il, 1817." They write froth Amiens the Bth instant, M. vie troglie, Bis . hop of Glient,'llas been here for four days. He sets out to-clay for Paris. This Pre late takes refuge in trance to escape the execu tion of a manilat of appearance decreed against Linn by a judicial authority in the Netherlands. A Valet tie Chambre of the Xing of the Nether lands arrived here on Sunday evening, and the text morning cut his throat, and was found dead. One of our Journals has published the following wrticie " The King. who, notwithstanding the pains of the gout, had never ceased to transact business with his Alinisters, is perfectly recovered from his indisposition.. With - What eagerness do persons, in the hope of seeing him, flock to the terrace of the Castle to testify their love and their gratitude every time that his Majesty shows himself at the Avintlows of his cabinet. Daring the festival, consecrated to the most august ceremonies of re ligion'; the churches incessantly echoed the prayers addressed to Heaven for his preservation. His subjectuknow that the greatest happiness which can 12'e :expected by men or by empires, is to be governed by Princes, who, like him, unite great prudence %vitt% extensive capacity ; who join a ju- Plicioiss employment of their talents to a generous hive of their people. How, then, could they re au degree all the Royal virtues? A dynasty .wbose sceptre extends to ages so• remote could not but find among Frenchmen of the nineteenth century the attachment which their ancestors testified at all times to their Sovereign. They are not ignorant it is the nottrbons who hav e preserved them from the misfortunes of conquest, and who assure them a long peace. They see the inex haustible succours which the Royal Family heaps *llion the wretched. They are convinced that the King -will continue to make for the relief of the nation all the sacrifices which are consistent with the due splendour of Its Crown and they are daily witnesses of the joy of their Princes, while, by their benevolence, by their affability, that charm which accompanies all their actions, they excite that gratitude which in its %turn leads to new displays of kindness. The au gust dynasty which governs us is establish ed, for the repose of France, upon a basis which common wants and universal grati tude must continue to consolidate. The happy marriage which caused so much satisfaction to this illustrious family, and holds out to our bores such a near gratification, has had the effect of rendering clearer to its Princes whose bounty is proverbial ; and if, as may be confidently antici pated, this marriage produce new heirs to the throne, it will still increase our love to that tutelar power to which is attached the tranquillity of all countries."—(Moniteur.) Laurent Pomier, of Gignac (deportment of He r:mit), bad been condemned on the 12th of March, 1816, to perpetual forced labour, for attempting the lives of two individuals who were testifying their joy at the fall of the tyrant, on the 2.d of July, 1815, and the restoration of the legitimate Government. Having invoked the Royal cle. money, he was pardoned on the 12th of March last. On the 26th of the same month, the Royal Court of Montpelier registered the sentence in the presence of Pomier, who answered the discourse of the President in a loyal and grateful speech Oh ! my Kiug, my father, my saviour (said be), what return can I make for so much goodness ? I will overcome all obstacles; I will arrive in your august presence; my heart will express the love, the devotion, the fidelity,'which will be pvrpoually impressed upon it. I will r e new at your feet the eagagetment which I this day contract, to live only to bless yemr clinnctrey, and to shed drnp of ray 11l ...a ftuAlte support of your 'Throne, for your dynasty, and t la: prosperity of my country. 'Vire le " . Thii last exclamationwas . repeated by the whole of the persons present. For a long time the English and the Americans have had for their young men a practical School of Navigation, from which both' their marine and their commerce have drawn great advantages.— By means of instructive voyages in distant regions, these two nations continually form sailors capable of supporting their national renown. Prance, which has been prevented by 25 years of war and troubles from following this useful example, must now enter the same career. To support this ho nourable rivaiship, already have our maritime cities hastened to prepare expeditions which nay carry our flag to seas where, for a long time, it has been almost unknown. In conformity with this ob ject, the Ceres, a ship of three masts, will sail shortly from Dieppe, under the comment of Se gur, a Captain of a frigate, Member of tlt Legion of Honour, assisted by Officers belongitg to the military marine, on a voyage of discovers in those parts of the Indian seas where our industry may expect the best means of encouragement. The Second Council of War, to which he cause of Lieutenant-General Grouchy was referred, has declared its incompetence to try him. l'he pto ceedings which took - place, and the speeffies that were delivered, present no circumstance to the public of which it was not formerly in pos session.* There have been vaccipilted hi the deprtment of the two. Sevres during 1816,•t%v0 thousand ht. dividuals. This number is superior to that . • of preceding years. In the departinerit of the ISleurthe there were vaccina:ed 15,600 indivi duals during the same year. The. Prefect at that department has given premiums to those who . are distinguished by their zeal. in promoting vaccina tion By the latest news from Odessa it appears, that the commerce of that port is very active, and that there are in it many foreign vessels. The must eminent corn merchant, M. Kattley, is dead : he he has lett an immense fortune. Letters from Spain announce, that in the coun try of Itioxa, the town called Arnedillo has been swallowed up-by the falling down of a mountain. All the inhabitants have perished. The village of Bolarsa has likewise been very much damaged by the same event. The convulsion felt at Bayonne has been attributed to the same cause. EARTHQUAKES AND REMARKABLE PH E. NOMENA. The French Papers which arrived yesterday supply the following particulars, in addition to those which we have formerly published under this head :--- The earthquake which was felt at Barcelona on the 18th ult., at eleven o'clock in the morning, was likewise felt on the same day at Lerida, at Saragossa, and at Madrid. At Saragossa it was experienced some minutes before, and at Madrid some minutes after, .the shock at Barcelona ; but in the two latter cities much more strongly than in the former. At Saragossa the concussion was so violent us to throw down a painting in the eltn.e.adl ..c eh. i17:...141r1 ..c i t...,, 001•••• ened, and fled front church. At Madrid the commotion was still more alarming, and was felt particularly at the Royal manufactory of porcelain at the Retito,. an edifice almost ruined dining the war. There it overthrew a wall that killed two men. A violent shock was likewise felt at the Palace of Justice. The Judges, who were sitting, deserted the hall, which trembled around them. It was believed to come from the west, and it is feared that Lisbon has suffered by this convulsion. News from that town are therefore expected with impatience. The weather at Barcelona continued clear and serene, and the air had recovered its usual temperature.— The Journal of Barcelona publishes an article, dated Alcocir, in the province of Guadalaxara, the 2Stli of February, which details circum stances formerly noticed in Tile SUN, but with such additions as induces us to present it to our readers :—" We have just witnessed a phenomenon seldom experienced in regions distant front the coast. On the 1 20th of the month the weather was rainy from the morning downwards, and the warmth was greater than is usual at the season. At three o'clock in the evening there was some lightning, accompanied with thunder, which soon ceased ; but at half-past six o'clock there suddenly arose a violent wind like those which com monly precede in summer violent storms. There fell at the same time hail and rain along with the thunder and lightning. The Heaven was brigiten ed, and there only remained a black cloud, s'hich increasing instantly, in au extraordinary mauler, dischat , ed from its skirts, about a quarter before 7 o'clock, such a flash of lightning, and stch a clap of thunder, that people who were in the streets, or in the country, fell to the earth frighten ed with the terrible noise; with time glare which struck their sight, and with the sulphurous smell which extended to the most retired recesses of their dwellings. " Some secOntls afterwards there was another clap of thunder, not so strong as the former. and the cloud opening, discharged an immense (lobe of fire, which hlling On the town of the cotvent of :Franciscans, overturned the iron cross (xi it s summit, and set on tire the wood-work, a poltion of which, in a state of combustion, Laving enured the church, destroyed a part of it ; wh;le the rest, descending by the walk, kindled the eiffe rent doors and windows of the convent, broke, tore up, and divided the cells, overturned and de stroyed the furniture which they contained, and excited such terror in the monks, who were in the choir, that they fell 'to the earth, and would perhaps have been shoaled by the sulphurous vapour which surrounded them, had they not im mediately received assistance. This explosion was followed by a heavy fall of buil, which lasted more than a minute ; after which, the heavens recovered their serenity." An event, of which we gave an account from a Pampeluna Paper, was more disastrous than we summary of the news are, from various causes, unavoidably omitted this day. Many articles meant for publication are also postponed. The arrears of Paris Papers have at length ar rived. From those to Thursday inclusive the Extracts are in another column. Those of Friday merely inform us, that the KING had so far re covered as to resume breakfasting with the loyal Family, and would recommence his daily prome nades on Monday. The French Funds have had a great rise : they are 64. 45. The new Council of State has been opened at Berlin with grand ceremonies. Prince HARDEN aRRG is President ; BLUCHER, WITGENSTEIN, and Butow, Members. MASSENA'S funeral at Paris was attended by TALLEYRAND and all his ancient companions in arms. CAPTIIIttS BY INSURGENT PRIV.ATEEIIS. [Received at Litwin this Morning.] The Portuguese brig Duke de Vittoria, which soiled from Bahia on the 29th of January for Lis bon, and a large new Portuguese ship, laded with sugar, also from Bahia for Lisbon, were taken near Bahia early i❑ February, by Insurgent pri. nett stated. By letters recently rz:ceised, we learn that not only some villages have sufferea by the earthquake, but that the whole town of Arnedillo, in Ohl Castile, has been buried under the fall of a neighbouring mountain ; that the whole inhabi tants have perished, and that nothing but the top of the belfry is seen above the ruins, The intelligence that has arrived from the higher districts of the Grisons excites the most lively fears. Never were the snows in greater quantity: the tops of the houses are no longer seen, and some of the roofs have fallen in from the weight of the snow. Some villages, particularly in the valley of Tavesch, are entirely abandoned. A frightful avalanche has destroyed the village of Neuras in this valley. By reports from Dissentis, a little distant from that village, I I houses and mills, along with the inhabitants and stables, have been swallowed up.. On the Stb, the Rector and 24 other persons, wounded, were dog out of the rubbish alive. Many dead bodies were likewise. found, and 28 persons are still missing. Ava lanches have likewise caused frightful disasters in the valley of Dischmah. We learn likewise from the Canton of Uri, that at Meyen, an avalanche overwhelmed two men, and that another threat ened the village of ltealp. The passage of Mont St. Gothard is shut up. On the 10th, an avalanche destroyed a house at Cadmenthal, in the province of Bern. 'The news from. the Tyrol are equally afflicting : four ava lanches have succeeded each other in one place. At Nanders, the snow filled the whole valley to the height of a tower. At Ischgel, in the Pinz gau, twenty-one houses were destroyed, At six leagues front Inspruck. ten persons were killed. The course of the Inn is interrupted. THEATRICAL REGISTER. Performed en Suturelay Night. Dntritv-LANs.---The School for Scandal : Charles Surface, Mr. Rae ; Lady Teazle, Mrs. Davisou.

The House of Commons re-assemble this day; but it is understood that it will adjourn for ano ther week, in consequence of the continued indis position of the SPEAKER. A very erroneous account (as we originally stated in this Paper) has been circulated in the Newspapers for some days, of transactions be lieved to have taken place in the Bahama 'Elands, where, it is said, the House of Assembly refused to 'pass a Slave Registry Bill, in consequence of which, the Attorney-General, as the organ of the Governor, .made certain observations to the Assembly, which they conceiving to he an insnit, the Speaker issued his warrant to arrest, for a breach of privilege, the Attorney-General, who on his plantation, with his servants, successfully resisted the authority. One of the ablest legal men of the colony is daily expected to arrive in D.,tigland, and until he appears nothing can be relied upon, except this, that the Assembly has passed several laws favourable to the Shves.
