The new organisatinn of the rysten of education
in France has not Ter /pointed such Intl: as the
Euel soft en:cacti. e, therefore, direfteJ the
celebrated Counsellor of State. Fouacsor, the di-
relor of the pubiic instruition, to travel during the
present summer through the interior provinces, and
to give him an account of the results of his local
investigations re] Alec to the sycern of iastruaion.
The Lycea, in particular. fail of answering the de-
sired end. Convinced of the deft is of this method,
the Emperor NA roucors became more favourably
disposed towards the religious orders fonnerly de-
voted to the instruftion of youth ; and, therefore,
previous to his departure for Italy, he declared, in
the Council of Store, his intention of giving to
monks the superintendance of the inferior schools,
after the Minister of the Interior and or the Eccle-
siastical Department had already taken measures
s for the restoration and public authorisation of those
bodies. But the Counsellor of State MOUNIER,
V:110 firmly vindicated the principle of the suppres-
sion of all ecclesiastical orders, opposed the in-
tended measure with such warmth, and was so
zealously supported by four other m-mb.ers, that
this projeft, which was not sapported by a single
voice, was deferred sine die.
It was formerly a la•.v in the e::-republic of Genoa,
that the Done should not leave that city on pain of
forfeiting his dignity. A French Monarch, Louis
XIV. caused the fast exception to be made to this
rule. 't he Genoese had supplied Algiers, which
was bombarded by the Fiends, with ammunition,
and Spain with ships. For this °fence Louts or-
dered Genoa the Superb to be bombarded; and in
February, 1034, compelkd the Goiernnvent to
send a deritation, with the 1)•sos at its head, to
his pardon.

LONHON,
THURSDAY. iticv 18.

We !lave received some Foreign Papers, but none
laier date than the 7th instant. We have made
w extradts from them, which will be fouttil in-
teresting.

No account of or from I.r.ad Nttsoit had arrivel
in town when this Paper was put to press. The
party prints do not appear to feel much anxiety upon
the subjed, having matter, to them, of much more
importance, in re:ording the jealousies, and fight-
in; the battles of the resp:etive Chiefs to whom
tl.ey have sworn fealty and allegiance. One of these
journals has singled out Viscount SIDIIOOTiI for its
hero, and never ceased to extol him as a Saint since
his resignation. It says, his Lordship and his
friends have been a champions and martyrs" in
their pure faith : it boasts his " sweet consolation"
—it deprecates the a viperous slander" upon his
charafter—and it warns the unbelievers in his Lord-
transcendent purity and talents of their latter
end, in this prophetic notice, Let them not dream
that their time will tivt come—that it is not at
hand." Mother Cole herself, were she alive, would
be ashamed of such cant. It out-herods
Herod." Viscount SIOMOUTH is, we believe, a
pious and religious man, but it does not -therefore
follow that he must be praised in the language of
the conventicle, or that of the congregation of a
field preacher. This sort of nonsensical rhapsody,
is perhaps not so reprehensible as the condo& of the
Papers on the other side, politely denominated
" the MELVILLZ Pack." One of Inc latter yester-
day contained the following paragraph :

u But we trust Lord Sidrnotith has not cal:tasted quite so
well in desiring his resiriation t• he notified to the Prince of
Wales before he •d it to M•. Pitt, and perhaps before he
notified it to the King. Does Lord Sidniouth tno turn about
to worship the rasing Sun? As the Kilt's sight fails, ilees the
Prince of Wolin shine with more lustre?—Alas, pour old
king Lear!"

VVe wiiii we could migake the allusion in till,
passage. Leaving, however, its indelicacy aside,
we venture to asicrt that nothing ever was more in-
applic.sble. * The Illustrious Personage alluded to
firs nothing'but rank and dignity in common with
King Lear. Never did a Sovereign sway the sceptre
of England so rich in Royal offspring, and so en-

throned in their aff.:tflions. There are no Reganc,
nor (iontrilt of his stock ; and, 25 to the 4. rising
sun" appealed to, we be;icvc His Royal High-
ness might truly say, in the words of our gallant
Hanalei address to his Royal Father—

than Mr. Forry . The wisdom and moderation of
Lord I IA anWICKE'S government have produced the
most beneficial cons:lnce ces to Ireland. The benefit
arising from Mr. Foss. ea's sew syiirss is at least
problematical; the ex pence heavy and certain.—
MIS, I think. is the general feeling of the great
major.ty of the people 'vire, who would, I doubt
riot, independent of a thou:aad other considerations,
most willingly purchase the continuance of the
former amongst us by the resignation of the later.
A great improvement is now carrying •on under
U^ immediate eye of Cloverament, at the west end
of the town. The want of a direa and convenient
communication between the Garrison and the Royal
Hospital at Kilinainham, where the Commander in
Chief generally resides, has been long felt and la-
mented ; but that want will be soon remedied, a
number of men being now employed in opening a
new road from Usher's Island through the Long
Meadows to the grand entrance at the I lospital, and
which will communicate with the • Barracks by a
handsome iron hn Ige threivn across the Liffey.
Not a word of news: the invention of the alarmists
seems exhausted."

Yesterday a Court of Directors was held at the
East India F10w... when the ship rlldion was taken up
and stationed for Madras, and ordered to be afloat
this day. sail to Graveseird the 2Gth inst. stay there
twenty days, and be in the Downs the 31st of Au.
gust. The Court alj.ruroci at six o'clock, till to.
morrow.
he Court of Direflors of the East India Compa-
ny have appointed Isaac MtIIIIEZ, Esq. their k,ent

E.q deceased.
Brkrp:u r man of war, Capt. 13 v No, we learn,
was to sail yesteiday morning with the India fleet
for Filmooth, where they are expefted to continue,
till intelligence is received re:peeling the destination
of the T”alon si.ladron.
It i. re:wired, that all the ships at Antigua left
th:d is"and u ;der conery of a sloop of war, about
eight hours betore the Combined Fleet passed that
hand.
The Edinturek and B. rwl.7; Parket, Cart. Lien,
from Liver po.:1 for London, was captured old Dover,
on the 19th ult. by three French Pt ivateers.
The uniform of the troops on board the• Combin-
ed Fleet is blue turned up with red, :ilia a round
hat, turned up nn one side with a lea-her. The
°dicers' dress is laced with gold. The French and
Spanish ships exchanged cflicers.
The Northumberland Militia are to he quartered
_at Chatham. The first division passed through
Dartfoid on Tuesday ; the remainoler arrived at the
inane place yesterday, and will proceed for their de-
stination day.
At a Court of. Mayoralty held en .Saturday
at Norwich, the letter for Sheriff was sent to
JAMES PAGE I and on Tuesday, at a corporate as-
sembly. Mr. PA C. E was discharged from serving
that office, agreeable to his request, on paying the
usual fine.

A letter from ‘ladras, dated 4th February, rmn-
tions, that the Asia and the Alzrquis Iretiellesi, on
their passage from Madras to Vizagapatam, were
chased by a Fr: nch frigate near the latter place ;
the result of the chace was n'it known on the 4th, at
which time the other ships wae waiting their return
to dear %ladr4s. The Ada and Marriis We/inky
had each 150 soldiers on hoard.
. _

Ship letters, inclnsinl bills of ladinl, per the 1—
gs, lloiorre:r, from Oporto to London, were re-
ceived a few days since from • Portsmouth. The
Captain (Hot nt-rcii) is since arrived. He conCrrm
the report of the • capture of his ship ; and luit'ler
states, that he v:as put on board a neutral, with
p.lrt of his crew, and that his ship was taken into a
Spanish port. He expresses his apprehensionr :cr
the satety of the 11 ar711011.,f, Capt. COW A o, aid the
Hope, of Hull; and confirms the c.ii-xure of the
Jame, of Dumfries.
The grounds upon which the Spanial7ds have cap-
tured American ships, are, we presume, their havirg
En,dith property on board. It appears that the
Spaniards release the vessels after taking out the
prop;rty. The American ships Eagle, SH A LIM, and
Jefii-rton, Rsr.usrorn, front Liverpool to the Medi-
terranean, which were taken and carried into Alge-
siras, have been released, after their cargoes had
been landed. The former is arrived at Leghorn,
and the latter at Malaga.
It is probable that to-morrow we shall receive au-
thentic accounts of the capture of the Gtotiow, as the
Captain of a Danish ship which arrived at Plymouth
on Monday states, that he saw a large foreign
anparently of 80 guns, standing up the Cli tnn_d. Ii
this account be corre.l, there can be very little doubt
but it is the Gloriosa, _ _

Extract of a Letter from a Gentleman residing at
Kaskaskias, to his correspondent in Marietta (Ohio),
dated May 7 : --'4 The Osages are likely to be cut
up root and branch, by a confederacy of almost all
the Indian nations of the West ; already blood has
been spilled, and large bodies of men arc in motion
to attack their country. Mr. VAN BIIIBILR, Witl.
whom you are acquainted, has just returned from
Missouri. lie states. that about ten days since, a
body of about four hundred c.l the Sacks crossed a:
a French village, at which place he was, about fill,
miles from the mouth of the river, on their march to
attack the Osages."
