`Germaiss-fAtextviors iu Paris. According to ancient cus-
tom, the AbbeGstillous, Professor of Sacred Eloquence, pro-
: uounced a neatly' ic un St. 6/160. The most striking part
of his discourse was, that whereio be cumridered the fattens
question of the Citisailes. He contended, with force, that
these sirs were conformable to the interests of religion,
humanity, 11114 France. He termilsatedliis apology for
the Crusades by $ very elaborate imitation of the exclamation
Demostheoes in his speech " un the Crown."—" No, great

Marquis Us Harbe Harbors, the ve;l disappeared, and
Henry IV. was presented to the view of the multitude. His
Majesty immediately uncovered his august brow to salute
this image of the head of his family. This act of love and
filial respect redoubled the sensibility already excited iu a
lively manner toy the spectacle itself.
The following iitscriptiuu appeared on the pedestal of the
'statue:—

cence all those that have been given there to this

Fuablis hail been exposed in the saloon of the Cafe
Mureau ; but we learn at this instant, that the pro.

THE QUEEN.—Yesterday the report of the state
of her MAJESTY's health seas—
" The Quarts is much the same as yesterday."

A Dutch Mail arrived last night► with Papers
to the 46th instant.—The 'following is an extract :

HANOVER, AUGUST 18.

His Royal Highness the Duke of Clarence arrived is this
city yesterday afternoon, with his august Consort. In the
evening the city was finely illuminated.

German Papers to the 19th instant have arrived.
The following is an extract:—

MITT/ALAND, AUGUST 14.

The Diet, in its bitting of the sth August;was exchisively
occupied with what COMMAS the French which are settled
in Switzerland. Several Notes of his Eseelleney the Minis-
ter of France were read, containing complaints respecting
the measures taken by different Governments, especially
those adopted by the Government of Friburg, which have
led lo several reprisals or the part of France. The Minister
claims the principle of reciprocity and uniform measures in
the Canton relative to the abode of the French. The answer
of the Government of Friburg, which justifies the measures
that have been adopted, was rend, and, after a long debate,
both the general question and that which relates to Friburg
in particular were referred to a Committee, composed of five
members.

We have received tl:e Paris Papers of the 46th
and :27tli instant. They give an account of the so-
lemnity in honour of St. Louis, and one of them very
seriously observes, that the splendour of the sun
was veiled by sonic clouds for the sole purpose of
saving the eyes of the good people of that city from
being hurt by its excessive lustre.
The Monileur contains a notice from the Anti-
Pirate Institution, somewhat in the form of an
advertisement, stating, that intelligence had been
received from Algiers, dated the tst of June, of
a most satisfactory nature. The present Der, as
if desirous of throwing a veil over the conduct of
his predecessors, or of conciliating the favour of the
European States, has Riven liberty to those Euro-
pean females, who had experienced the violence of
A Et- H ODG lA, and had ordered considerable sums of
money to be given to them, iii compensation of their
sufferings. It is Aid stated, that the Dell has de.
dared 1):3 intention of not suffering the corsairs
to sail on any expedition during the present year.
The object of the Institution being obtained, the
respected President, Sir SIDNEY SMITH, will shortly
leave Paris.

The Lev set, Ig, Cap►ain RODNEY SHANNoN,
will sail on Wednesday from l'orisn►uutli for St.
Illeleint. The Cdrroo. 20, Captain FURNEAUX,
