NOTICE TO MARINERS.

HAMEURSH, MAY 10, 1839.—An alteration of the
course of the River Elbe, near Stage, having taken place,
and a broader channel as deep as the former having been
formed to the north of the Stade Sand, notice is hereby
given, that the Black Buoy, No. 15, and the White Buoy,
No. 8, will be placed, from and after the Ist June next,
to the north of the same, where temporary buoys are now
moored. The White Buoy, No. a, will consequently
thenceforward lie to the north, opposite the Churchyard ;
and the Black Buoy, No. 15, to the north on the Stade
Sand, in such a manner that the course, which fomerly
described a bow towards N. N. E. to S. S. W., will, for the
future, be r;ght north and south.

THE DUKE 01' BASSANO.—The late Duke
de Bassano. Count Hugues Bernard Marat, was born in
1753, at Dijon. He entered with enthusiasm into the
first revolution, was the first publisher of the Bulletin de
l'Assemblee, and when M. Panckouke established the
Moniteur Universal, he was appointed by him as its
editor. He knew Napoleon well when he was only a
Lieutenant ; and, becoming chief of division in the
Foreign-office, was sent to Englar:d after Or 10th of
August, 1792, to secure the neutrality of the British Go-
vernment ; but was sent back immediately with M. dc
Chauvelin, the French Ambassador. In 1793 he was
appointed Ambassador to Naples ; but being made
prisoner by the Austrians, was detained till 1795, when he
was released and sent back to France with the Marquis
de Semonville, in exchange for the daughter of Louis
XVI. Ha afterwards became private Secretary to Na.
poleon, who frequently, it is said, joined with him in corn
posing articles for the Moniteur. In 1811 M. Marat was
created Minister of Foreign Affairs and Duke de Bassano,
and in 1812 he signed the treaties with Austria and Prus-
sia, preparatory to the expedition against Russia. The
events of 1814 sent the Duke back into private life. On
the return of the Emperor he resumed his previous func-
tions, became a Peer, and was nearly taken at the battle of
Waterloo. On the second restoration he was banished from
France, and retired to Gratz, where he occupied himself
with the education of his children. After the revolution
of July he again returned to his native country, and was
again made a Peer of France. On the 10th November he
was appointed Minister of the Interior and President of the
Council, but his Ministry,it is well known existed only three
days. The funeral of the Duke was solemnized yesterday
morning at the church of Notre Dame de Lorette. Among
the numerous persons who attended the ceremony were
several of the Ministers, and the diplomatic body, the
Dukes De Cazes and Dc Broglie, and Messrs. Charles
Dupin and Monnier, who were pall-bearers, together with
deputations from the Peers, the Deputies, and the Insti
tute. The Duke's body was deposited in the family vault
et Pere la Chaise. During the illness of the Duke, the
King and Queen sent frequently to make inquiries, and can
being made acquainted with his death: ordered one of the
offirers of the household to go to the Duke's family, anil
assure them of their Majesties' participation in their grief.
