OUTRAGE ON THE BORDER OF FRANCE

AND NAVOT.

The town of Seyssel is divided Into two parts by the Rhone,
which forms the boundary between France and Savoy. In the
night between the 30th of April and Ist of May, between IO and 11
o'clock, a boat, with eight men on board, set out from a port, situ-
ated a quarter of a league above Seyssel. Just as it reached the
town, a shot was discharged from the French side ; a little lower a
second shot was fired at the boat, and at last, above the bridge
three more shots were fired by the employes of the French Coo-
lants, on guard at the bridge. The result was, that two persons
were wounded, one slightly in the hand. and the other dangelotsly
in the right thigh. After this, the boat having passed the bridge,
and being beyond the limits of the tali States, was again exposed
to three shots, one of which killed Joseph Dubuisson,of Seyssel, in
France, who managed the boat. The Custom-house Officers, after
violating the neutrality of the Rhone, as well as the territory of a
Foreign State, by passing the boundary, procveded lower down,
opposite the port which the boat had entered, and endeavoured to
tire upon a group of persona, who had come to the assistance of
these unfortunate persons, but the musket missed fire, and soror
persons arrived who prevented them from carrying their intention
any farther. All these tact, are confirmed by the account which
has been drawn up both in France anti Savoy. It is proved, also,
, that several shots had been fired before, and particularly on the
night of the 20th of April. on boos which were within the Sar-
dinian boundary, and that the young man who was killed on this
cccalon had been threatened with death by the lieutenant who
commando! the post at the bridge that night. Next mornibg tie
public voice accused this prison, who was walking very compo-
heti!), in the Square; but an objection was made to his being
arrested, on account of an Article of the Constitution of the year
If, which say., •• that tin employe of the Government shall not be
arrested without a warrant from the Council of State." In the
mean time he escaped across the frontiers.

Despatches have been received from Captain Franklin,
of the Arctic land expedition, dated at IVinter-quarters, Fort
Franklin, on the great Bear Lake; September 6. Gluing the
summer, three expeditions, under Cept.Franklin, Lieut. Bach, and
Dr. Richardson, were made, preparatory to the great objects to be
undertaken neat year. The expedition under Capt. Franklin went
to the mouth of Mackenzie River, which he found to discharge
itself into au open sea; there is one island near its month, called
hy Capt. Franklin Gerry's island. Front the summit of this island,
the Captain saw the sea to the northward, all clear of ice or islands;
to the westward he saw the coast to a great distance, his view termi-
nating at very lofty mountains, which he calculates were in longi-
tude of 139 deg. west. The expedition would proceed early in the
spring on its ulterior objects. The officers and men were all well,
and in high spirits at the favourable circumstances which had
hitherto atterdeml their proceedings.
Cadiz and Gibraltar letters mention that several Guerilla
parties : re now roving about the mountainous districts of Anda-
lusia, bidding defian:e to the local authorities. One of them lately
carried oIT tit, horses belonging to the French garrison in Cadiz,
which were at pasture in the neighbourhood of Chiclana. This
party the next day attacked the Carthusian Convent, in the vicinity
of Xeres, and compelled the monks to give them a sum of money
and a supply of horses. The chief rendezvous of these parties Is
the Serrania de Ronda. The French seem to take no notice of
them ; indeed no political results can attend their existence, even
if they were more numerous; for time greatest part of them are little
else than banditti—men who have been driven to plunder on the
high roads from hunger and despair. One party had entered the
small town of Alarchena, and levied a contribution on the inhabi-
tants- The misery aid wretchedness prevailing throughout all
Spain cr,uld scarcely be credited, although the poor people have
some temporary relief in view, in consequence of the utumising
elate of the next harvest, which bids fair to be abundant.
