PARIS, AUGUST 3.
The King, accompanied by the Princes and
ceases of his august family, and the Ambassadors of
Naples awl Spain, attended yesterday, at twelve
o'clock, at the chapel of the Palace, where Mass
was chumited, hots the composition of M. Client-
biol. His Majesty skewed liitmelf at the balcony
of the glass gallery, and was received with the most
lively acclamations by an immense crowd, ex-
tended over the terrace. the assemblage at the
nunneries was numerous and brilliant. Ilis Ma-
jesty received the Ministers Secretaries of State, the
Marshal Dukes of Datitzic, Treviso, TA►rotnnt,
and Comte Jourdan ; a great number of the Peers
of France; of Lieutenant-Generals, Field-Marshals,
the Prefect of the Seine, and the Prefect of Police.
Her Serene Highness. the Duchess of Bourbon
had the honour to pay her court to the.King;Nlak
dame, and the Princes.
The parish church of Yirelarle, in the arrondisse-
ment of Bourdeaux, has been, for a length of tinge;
in want of repairs that the Commune was not able
to execute. The •Duke d'Arigmilente has just sent
a thousand francs to the Mayor to be employed
for that purpose.
According to private letters from Sierra Leone,
the expedition for discoveries in the interior of
Af►ica has not made any pro,gress, arid no hope
was entertained that it would succeed in that to-
terprixe.
The Marshal Duke de Feltre is at present at his
estate of Neuviller, near Savernes where he is
very ill.

There has been distributed at the Palais a me-
moir, entitled, " Prelitaimary Obwroatioas in fit-
tenser of the Baron Cannel," Lieutenant-General of
the King, Inspector-General of Infantry. This
memoir is signed by M. Berryer, the son, advocate.
They write from Grenoble, "The Journals of
Paris have given a happily exaggerated recital of
an occurrence that took place in the neighbour-
hood of Gasp; we wished to wuit for suit and po-
sitive information on the subject.
It was, in fact, in the territory of the communes
of Sigoven, Fouillouse, and nadirs., that there
took place as falling in of the mils, but it dial not
overturn a great part of these three tearitoraer.
The portion of land devastated occupies an extent
of 1400 metres in length, and 300 iu breadth:
It has not destroyed houses, vineyards, arid great

ina.ses of wood, hut copses thinly planted, situ-
ated un the summit of the lands fallen in, and
some crop.. The villages have not suffered;
merely • some houses appeared to tnenace ruin
through the effect of the chock; prompt assitance
has been applied there by the ad nn i i listration. It
will, without doubt, not be learned with less in-
terest, that the tuovetnent, of whirlt we dreaded the
consequences, hats ceased. They are engaged at this
moment its legally verifying the losses.

AIX-LA•CRAPILLY, JULY 3A.
His Highness Prince Hardentwig, the Grand Chancellor
of State, arrived here yesterday with the Princess his ton.
sort. Today, after basing viewed the Hotel of Rrlleniluif,
which is prepariug for his Highness's residence, during as
Congress, they proceeded to Spa, where they will tna:ie
wove slay.

The number of visitors who resort hither continue to in-
crease. We remark a great many officers of tank uf vaiious
nations. The number of strangess inserted um the list, up
to 30th July, is 1,491.

Prince Hardenberg has placed a sum of 15,006 francs at
the disposition of the President of the Regeury, with the pro-
mise of a further sum if it should he necessary to continue
the works that are begun in this city, and put it in a comb-
lion to receive the illis-trsou• curets who are e‘pectei:.
These are very different opinions respecting the darn lull of
the Congress. The fact is, that the hotels hive been hired
for two months, with a stipulation fur a sum in propos lion,
in case the stay of our illustrious guests should be pisk,
lungcd.

We have received the Paris Papers of Mooday
last. The ease of Madame MA NSON, alias ft,
murder rf Feuldes, served for a time, in the ab-
sence of more important matter, to amuse the ii.-
habit:nits of that carnal. To a vain-glorion•
people, military renown would have been the
subject rr.ort desirable, but to a light snd frito-
lons Hatton, private scandal would be little lebs
alluring. The case of F c.%LBES, set off as it was
with•all the intrigue and affected inystely of Ma-
dame Msxsotc, tea• the beat possible substitute to
excite trubliC interest in these dull and inglorious
times, when wars and victories are no more. Tu the
case of the•murder of Ft:ALVES has work oded the
affair of General CANUEL ; (tut, although next to

Such as. it is, however, it is now the leadn.g feature
of the Paris Papers.
