PARIS, OCTOBER 2.

The King heard mass yesterday in the chapel of
the Palace. His Majesty is in perfect health; it
was, therefore. expected that he would go out, but
his multiplied occupations did not suffer him to
take hit usual airing.
On the 47th of September, the anniversary of
raising the s►ege of Mezieres, in 1521. a grand so.
lemnity took place in that town, iii honour of the
warrior who defended it. The ladies of Mezieres
prepared a flag, bearing the arms of the hero,
" Without fear and without reproach." The pane-
gyric of Bayard was pronounced iu the church at
the close of the solemn service, and the noble stand-
ard, consecrated amidst the liveliest acclamations.
was remitted to the national guard. The festival
was closed by a ball, and an abundance of alms
given to the poor.
The Dey of Algiers has promised that during
the continuance of the plague none of his cruisers
shall approach any vessel of the United States.
His Royal Highness the Duke of Gloucester is
now at Turin.

The Court of Cessation lots rejected the appeal
of Pierre Marchand, and of his mother the widow
Marchand, condemned to have the right hand cut
off, to he then led with naked feet, and their heads
covered with black veils to the scaffold, convicted
of having murdered a man, the father of one and.
husband of the other prisoner.

The arrival of Dutch and Hatnburgli Alsilc
has put us in possession of a varied mass of
gence. Fears begin to be entertained in the com-
mercial towns of Germany, that the Algerine
Orates, now recovered from the effects of their late
chastisement, and freed in some degree from the
horrors of the plague, are contemplating a renewal
of their accustomed cruelties in the Mediterranean.
The mortality in their city has diminished to about
six or eight daily, and they are said to be res.'s,'
to take instant advantage of their breathing time,
to afflict their less powerful or less active fellow-
creatures with misery.
The DEY is reported to deserve a gond character
for mildness, and it is net very long since we were
assured, in private letters from Algiers, that his
Highness had determined to prevent, by every
meant in his power, the sailing of any piratrlii
expeditions; but the DEY of ALGIERS lies at the
mercy of the ruffian banditti who seem to support
his authority, and were he to prevent them front
pursuing what from long practice must be regarded
by them as • branch of trade, his fate would not
be more enviable than that of his predecessors. It
appears that he has been compelled to compensate
them for their inactivity on sea, by permitting
them to use his name and exercise his power in
support of a Pretender to the throne of Tunis. An
Ambassador is said to have been dispatched front
Algiers to London, either to court the friendship
of Great Britain, or to secure her neutrality in the
event of their renewing their piracies against the
other states of Europe.
%'e find by an article from Russia, that Count
RONANZOFF, Chancellor of the Empire, has again
liberally resolved to send the Ilurick, Lieoleuxnt
KOTZEBUE.' ship, upon another voyage of disco-
very. A few days since we presented our readers
with a very interesting account of the result of
Lieutenant KOTZEBUE'S former voyage. The pos-
sibility of discovering a northern passage, if such
be the object of the projected expedition, will, we
expect, be decided by the English expedition long
before the tturick can be in a state to undertake
her task of exploring the iey regions.
Au extensive demand for men, in the propor-
tion of two in five hundred, to recruit the army and
navy, hos been made by the Russian Government.

Money, however, will be accepted in plate of men.
It is difficult to conceive what amnia can want of
so large an addition to her military force. fifer
present establishment, we understand, exceeda
.500,000 men; slid this immense army, it might be
sbpposed, would be found sufficient to perform dm
military duty of even her extensive, ill-peopled
territories.

Sweden is an interesting country from the recol-
