MENTZ. JULY 8.
The Gazelle of this city, which published the
CONCINSIUN of the Central Committee, contains in
its last iiiiinlier a questiou addressed to the Editor,
to which be is requested to answer Yes or No, viz.
whether the piece inserted iti the last number of
this Journal, under the title of Conclusum of
the Ceirtiiil Committee, is worded with authentic
signatures?" This affair is iniportane, and concerns
Prussia, the Netherlands, and Hesse, which form
part of the Crime' Committee for the Navigation
of the Rhine. The reply of the Editor to this
question is in the negative.
It is affirmed that his Imperial Highness the
Archduke Chides of Austria has the intention to
resign the place of Governor of Ments, whl h he
has hitherto held, and to give it up to the Here-
ditary Prince of Hesse Horobourg, after his return
from Er.glaiiit, so that the Prince and his august
consort will come and mide at Mentz.

ANTWERP, JULY 13.

The vessel Le Rodemr, which has just entered
our port, has been stizEd by the Police and the
Officers of the Customs. The crew have been land-
ed—the Captain and pilot are under arrest. The
Captain, it is said, is not wholly unconnected with
the introduction of the fal.e ten centime pieces, so
many of which are seen in circulation. A vessel
was lately abandoned and bunk by those who were
on board, after they had taken ont the goods,
which were insured fur coioiilerable sums. It is
affiruied that the Captain is implicated in this
affair also, which at this moment is the ground of a
action against the proprietor of the Ro-
dent., and who is also iu the hands of justice.
Yesterday, about three o'clock in the afternoon,
the church of St. Charles Ilonomeo, formerly the
Jesuits, wss the scene of a profanation, of which
there had been no instance since the end of the 16th
century.

Thiclergynrin, who was preaching on the im-
mortality of the 64/01, was suddenly interrupted by
a person directly opposite the pulpit, who addressed

conjecture." The clergyman having proceeded in
his sermon, Wit, madman again insulted him.—
Slone of 111; congregation then obliged him to leave
the church : he was arrested, and taken to the

LONDON,

MONDAY, JULY 20, 1818.

We have received Paris Papers of Wednesday
and Thursday last. The silence hitherto so reli-
giously observed in the French Journals with re-
gard to the alleged conspiracy against the Mu-
much and Constitution of France, has at length
beets dissolved, and we are now inf: tuned that a
legal process has beers fur ten or twelve days in
existence against four individuals, named CHAPDE..
LAM, SONGY, and Rummy, retired officers of
the army, and JOANNIS, whose station in life
is not mentioned. General CANUEL% name is
also implicated, bat this officer has hitherto
escord arrest by flight. It appears that the
four tint-named persons were arrested on the
24 of this month, when General CANUELN re-
sidence was also searched, and his !rapers seized
and sealed. But why did not these papers notice the
occurrence at an earlier period ? The attention of the
Editors had been drawn to it by the private accounts
published in the Loudon Journals. The notice now
taken of the alleged conspiracy is expressed with
extreme caution, and though the object, is censured
us criminal, and the means of attaining it ridiculed
as contemptible, neither the one nor the other are
mentioned. One point iv, however, certain, that
whatever may have been the nature mid character
of the conspiracy the object proposed, the persons
implicated in it, and the means they possessed of
carrying their scheme into execution, the entire
aft.tir will shortly he made public dating!' the me-
dium of a ttial by jury.
The Assizes of Albi ore fixed for the its! of An•
gust next, when a counter-putt of the lute proceed-
ings in the case of the murder of FUALDES ►will, it
is thought, attract gene►al attention.
