papers. Contradicted in this quarter, in.the most positive

manner, they havelfid recourse to the only expedient
' which remained in their power, silence, which is at once
more becoming and more politic.
The King has at last laid before the Chamber of Deim.
tics, the long-expected Decree respecting the restoration
of Emigrants property. He confirms the alienation of the.
I. estates that are sold, but orders the restitution of those
that are not. Others which had been ceded to character-
istic institutions, as sources of revenue, are to return to
their fernier possessors when those establishments shall
have acquired, through public liberality, an income equal
to their value. Property which has been bought, but for
which the whole price has not yet been paid, shall remain
lin the hands of the purchaser, who will be bound to cont.
plete his payments to the rightful owner. Upon the whole
this decree will not satisfy those emigrants whose estates
have been sold, and who,with an equal claim to compensa.
tion, obtain no relief, on account of this circumstance,
which it was not in their power to prevent. It is inti-
mated, however, that when the finances of.the Kingdom
shall have recovered from their present state, the King
will endeavour to compensate for the losses of the unfor.
tunate part of his faithful subjects. Besides this measure, 4
another has been proposed regulating the exportation of
gain, and the King has Wit back the Law relative to the
Press, after having approved of the amendments made by
the Peers, to the further consideration of the Chamber of
DePuties..

Poland.; and that he is to receive. as an indemnity* for what,
he gives up, the entire Kingdom of Saxony. From Vienna
the desire of the Italians to form an independent state is

MARRIAGE OF -JOANNA SOUTIICOTT, THIg

• :

LAMB'S WIFE I

'lt is asserted, by the Rev. Elias Carpenter, the E. P. G.
of the House of God, that Joanna Southeott is actually num-
ried, after she had taken the opinion of Counsel on it I lies
hUsiand, we hear, now resides with her, at No. 17, Weston-
place, Pancras ; and is, like her, well stricken in years.—.,
Ex nihile nihil

Dr. Adams did not give an opinion that Joanna South-
cott was pregnant; bar, on the contrary, expressly declared
his disbelief of the fact.
The Pope's taking down the lamps from the streets of
Rome, where they had been put up by order of the French
Government, is a singular occurrence. Former Popes had
endeavoured to establish this piece of comfort and conve-
nience, many years ago, but were unable from the great
dread of the Lazeroni and vagrants who wandered or slept
in the streets every night. and with whose nocturnal doings
light very much interfered. This circumstance may give
an idea of the kind of police that may be expected in the
streets of Rome.

The secret expedition now in progress of outfit at Ply-
mouth, is expected to sail about ten days hence. The force
' ready for embarkation at. Plymouth copyists of about 4,000
infantry of the line, with a brigade of artillery, and a very
large supply of rockets. Several light frigates are to accom-
pany the expedition, and, we believe, to be employed its
taking Out part of the troops. It is supposed the embarka-
tions at Portsmouth will join those at Plymouth previous to
[their sailing, and that all will go out together to Bermuda.
which is understood to be the general point of assemblage in
the first instance.

It appears from the Dutch Papers that the military force in
the Netherlands is daily receiving an accession of British and
Hanovei ian troops.—The is: hussars of the King's German
Legion are now waiting at Harwich for transports, to carry
them to Ostend.

The Barony of Middlethird, in the county of Tipperary,.
is declared in a state 'of disturbance, and requiring that coer-
eion providedjor by Mr. Peek's Act of last session.
On Sunday night a most singular meteoric phenomenon •
hook place:.. It commenced in the west, some degrees south
from where the sun had set ; appearing at fist like the beard
of an-approaching comet; but in a short time it advanced
across the whole heavens, forming a large bow from %lest to
east. The di, ection of the bow seemed to be some degrees
south of our zenith. The rays were at fist much d,v-rgeci,•
but afterwards they became more condensed. It continued
in this state for about ten minutes; after which. the rays
again diverged, and it gradually dissappeared, bejnning at
the east. When the how was in its most perfect state, it was
abort the breadth of a common rainbow ; the ight was
strong, considerably stronger than tha' of the milky way, and
its brilliancy was greater in proportion to its proximity to
the west; it beinz e'ceedingly faint towards the eastern bori-
zon.—(Cliester Paper). • . _
