The following are extracts from the Paris papers
of Friday lust :
. PARIS. AlAnett B.—This day the King presided
et the Council of Ministers.
Ills Majesty has sent to make inquiry respecting
lktonsieur, his august brother, who has a slight in-
disposi t ion.
This evening site missions have net been disturbed.
. All is perfectly tranquil.
The Journal of Savoy contains the following. tie-
tails respecting the earthquake et the 19th of
Fe-
bruary :
At Aix they experieneed two succeeding shocks,
which lasted about seven seconds. A number of
chimneys fell. The waters, impregnated with sul.
yhur, were of whitish. grey colour, and they conti•
Luca in a state of agitation nearly- two hours. Their
temperature did out vary. All the phenomena were
the same as those observed at the earthquake which
hArpotoill at 'Lisbon in 1755. •
At Yenne, where a religious ceremony had called
rmtny persons to church, in the moment the preacher
Najd in his exordium, " We are Auspended between
heaven and hell," a frightful noise was heard. The
..suited roof of the church opened, and a shower
of stones and mortar descended on all sides. It is
impossible to describe the scene of desolation which
stt uck the terrified congregation. Their agitation in
te dust, and the dreadful screams uttered in their
vish to get to the doors was awful in the extreme ;
s:vend were trampled under feet, whilst others gut
into holes and corners to escape death. Many per-
sons arc suiLring under the etiiiet of this event, but
only two have received serious wounds, a circum-
souwe almost incredible. It is remarkable, that the
earthquake was felt in three other churches, at the
eery moment when the preachers were pronouncing
the words uttered by the preacher at Yenne. At la
Moue tiervolex the curate announced to his pa-
rishioners, that if they did not wake haste to do
penance, immediate punishment would follcw their,
sins. At the same instant the earthquake was felt,
anti all the congregation 11:11 upon their knees to Mr-
' piore forgiveness of their sins. At the college of
• ~4.;nambrey, in one of the lectures upon death, it was
urged that death might strike any one of the pupils
• in a month, in a day, and perhaps that instant. At
these words the church shook, and the root seemed
tailing on the students, who ran precipitately to the
dour uttering a cry of terror.

By arrangements which have been making for
some time, the management of Covent Garden
Theatre will be much altered. Mr. Harris, we
understand, re•ires from the supreme direction, and
is succeeded by Mr. Charles limbic. The latter
is supported by a powerful body of friends, who un-
dertake to discharge the pecuniary claims upon the
theatre, and set the concern entirely free, to carry
on its operations with greater spirit.
A disturbance took place at Buckingham on Sa-
turday night last, occasioned by a decimation being
made from the wages of the men employed by the
parish. The stipulated sum is 6d. a day each, fir
which they arc expected to be at their work front
Mx o'clock in the morning till six in the evening,
but not being so punctuol to the time as was re-
quired, the price of a day's labour was kept back.

mitted about ten o'clock on Sionday night, for the pur-
pose of plunder, at No. 16, Bedford Row, on the person
of Mrs. Doitarty, relict of the Sheriff's ollicer of that
name, aged ..50 and upwards, and who occupied the
house. The old lady lived on tier means, in a very se-
cluded state, hating no ntlitr parson about her but a gill
of the name of Harrison (now in custody), who fetched
her errands and slept with her occasionally. She sent
the girl Harrison out about nine o'clock to get in some
errands, and at ten, or shortly after, the family of Mr.
Jesse, tit xt :oar, were alarmed by a rumbling, noise, and
which contimung in a house always so quiet excited
alarm, and on knocking at the door there was no
answer. At length the patrol and watchman obtained
an entrance by the itlmlow of the first floor, and on
openin4 the door leading to the passage, one of then.

weltering in iser 1.100:1. Prompt medieal.aid was had,
hot the spark of life was extinct, as the deceased had bled
till no more was left. The wound was on the Side of
the throat close to the jugular seta, of several inches in
depth, and must have been done with a large knife, or
or a similar iitstrutnent, as the orifice was vet), large.—
The hathrroits assassin or assassins left a sack nearly
neatly filled with linen, plate, and every thing of value
which could be erasped m toe passage, and it is evident
they fled with what money they could get the b ick way,
appearances denoted, on being al.adied by the knocking
of the neighbours, or the cut ry of the patrol. The sack
hiss a mark upon it, which it it hoped will lead to the
thscovery of the assassin.—There Was also 3 case like
that of a stitetto left it) the house, with which no doubt
the diabolical murder was petputraied. gel Har-
rison returned some time after the minder had been dis-
covered, with her errands, and she beard the dreadful
news. She was strictly interrogated, when it turned
out there were a few sovereigns in the house. Prom

short !•has tugs. Robert-street is very secluded, and the
neighbotithoott was much agitated during the whole of
yesteelay. Last cvening, at sesett o'clock, a 'mein!' of
gentlemen, residing in and near liolvert-rtreet, was con-
vened, for the purpose of concerting measures to facildate
the detection of the murderers. it was agreed upon.
among other things, to oder a reward of 100 guineas for
their appienettaion, and to give every encouragement to
