An Evening Paper of Friday. stated that a repo t was in
ci; culation of three battalions of the French army, at a pro=
. vincial station, having combined to raise the standaed of
Buonaparte, and march to Paris. A Morning Paper adds--,-
"The fact is, that such an °cent-mice took place at Nemotirs
about a fortnight ago. The whole patty, officers and men,
in a sudden fit
.of extravagance, agreed to the abave absurd
resolution. The officers, however, quickly perceived their
folly, and attempted to rf'straiti tl:e men, many of whom
mutinied against them, and proceeded even to the shedding
of blond. Marshal Oudinot, who was at that moment at
Paris, no sooner received information of it, than he went
down, and hanged of shot three of the ring leaders. The.
King was.ineined to have pardoned them ; but the Marshal,
pet haps, judged pore properly in ad ,ising their instant exe-
cuti. n. Thus did these three poor fellows lose their lives,
because an infinitely greater villain thin either of them is std.
fered to retain his life. May they be the last sacrifices in so
mad and disgraceful a cause !"
By the Pat is Papers received during the week, we learn
that Maishal Jourdan has been appointed to the Military
Government of Normandy : and one of his first acts, after

The Vi' InztCourt Gazette ')as announced that the Congress
at Vienna will not asseinh!e till the tst Oct. The reason given for
this delay, is the impossibiVtv of Lord Castlereagh quitting
England hefote the tee mination of the session of Parli,ment ;
and the Emperor of Russia being unable to prolong his stay
in Germany. fits Imperial Majesty, it anoens, intends to
proceed to St. Peter,burgh, and afterward, to iepair from
thence to Vienna, where he 14 expected almot the end of Sep-

termer. All the territo. ies now provisionally occupied, are
. to remain in the same state until their dektinv is determined
upon at the Coriess. The itibal)itAnts of liorde►ux have
testified their respect for l .oul I).►lhousie, the commander of
the PA itish ti(,opF, so long stationed in their city and...neigh-
bourhood, •by'presenting his Lordship with a sword. Louis
XVIII. still remains indisposed. On the other hand Mon-
sieur is considerably better.
Nothing appears yet to be decided respecting the fate of
Norway. The Ilamburgh Papers state, that among the
visionary. hopes with wnich the Norwegians delude them-
selves, one is, that a matiimonial union is on the tapir
between Prince Christian and the Princess Cha►lotte of
Wales. Baron A Wier and four ether persons of distinction
have arrived from Norway, to constitute a special Legation
from Prince Christian to the Couit of London. Covets
anent have refused to receive them in any official cha-
racter. The object of their mission is to induce England to
support the independence of Norway.

presented to the pub:iv, in the tickets of admission to St.
James's Park, On the appi..)aching day of the Grand National
Festival, may, it is obvious, be sill fnrther encrcased, as these
tickets, by a judicious arrangement, are only sold at the Lot-
tery Offices, and, thus the purchaser may, at the same mo-
ment, secure a Tickq or Share in the Lottei V, to begin draw-
ing on the Ist September. In such a combination there i 3
ertainly every omen of compfete success.
