FROM THE FRENCH PAPERS.

CHERBOURG, JULY 3.—The result of the depo-
sitions taken. before the Com Mission 'sitting here of
the two English deserters ' from Guernsey -is,•,that
the Garrison of that Island is composed Of/the 43d,
55th, and-93d Regiments of Infantry, and a Regi-
ment of Fencibles ; that these Regiments consist of
about 800 men, except the 4.3 d, which is only 300;
that, the service there is, active ; that a half
of t'he Regiments are under arms from two in', the
morning until full day. , 'This adivity has-, taker,
,place only within these two tilcintlis, fiorn the ap-
prehension' of tan" attack upon that- Island by the
French. Every Monday the four Regiments ma-
u v
•, •
ncere under the cbannanil of the General, to learn
'the So•Zers the- Mode of. defending themselves in ,
case of attack.

The. principalimotives of the desertion of these
two persons are the had food, and the multiplied
fatigues. These two deserters, one of whom is a
Spaniard, and the other an American, after their
examination, have been put under the care of the
Commandant of Arms at, Cherbourg, until further
order's.

Private Letters from Gerrriany state, that the
military preparations.in Austria are very consider-
able, and that even the horses fOr. the carriaes of
the baggage are. ready. A great deal-of silver:
money'Thas been coined at Vienna, which is not put
in circulation, but reserved for the payof the Soldi-
ery in time of war. The Court exchanges nothing
but small bank-bills of two and four francs, and this
operation is .efFeEted with pieces of sixteen and eight
sous.

VIENNA, JULY 3.—The apprehensions seem to
revive -in Turkey that a Corps of French Troops
may land in Dalmatia, and make an irruption into
the Ottoman-Provinces. Our Court itself does not
appear to be indifferent to the etsents which are an-
nounced as likely to take place in that, quarter ; and
we are assured that some.. Troops have already re-
ceived orders to hold themselves in readiness to
march; probably to observe the motions of the
French, Perhaps these fears, with respea to the
'enterprises of a Power whose pacific sentiments to-
wards us are no longer equivocal, 'should.be regard-
ed as,pniy the apparent motive of the differat mili-
tary preparations which our Court is' making,- and.
which have no other object than the uncertainty or
events or projeets of aggrandisement, whether in
Turkey, or -in the. Empire. It is certain that a
considerable corps of Troops have received orders
to advance into the interior of Germany. All the
Austrian Regiments are at their full complement.
Thr continual recruiting .kept up during the-late
campaign, and .the' return of the Prisoners, who
were, in, France, since, have repaired the disasters
sustained by the armies of the Emperor.

PAR ISIAN FASH lONS. The Fashionables now
imitate the oblong head-dresses of the antique shape,
closed
-with silver chefs. The capotes are composed
of tivo colours, a soot crown, and peen draperies ;
a green crown, and jonquil draperies ; and a lilaa
crown, and draperies of Egyptian earth, Crape
przi-sem,, with applications (sr sattin peas. The long
waists augment in number, and yet there is reason
to doubt whether the fashion will become general.
After having paid tribute to them, a great many
elegez;ites resume the short-wasted robes ; and some,
though they ordered Yong-waisted dresses, had not
courage to wear them. The king S'hawls are thOse .
now in fashiOn, of muslin, of Turkish crimson, and
Turkish blue ; alto square• Scotch shawls, of silk
and cotton, with large, flowers upon a brown St.
Theresa mantle ground. Spencers, trimmed with
lace, are worn fur 'mil' dress. The rinislins are ei-
ther figured with white flowers or large diamonds.
Serpent bracelets, in imitation of the necklaces and
ear-rings, are also in repute.

A quantity of fine horn, we understand,' has lately
been.received.from China. It is considered a good
substitute for glass,
.being surprisingly thin and
transnarent. The horns generally manufaetured by
the Chinese are thoSe of sheep and goats. The usual
Method of managing them is, to bend them by itn.,
mersion in hoiling water ; alter which they are cut
open and flaitenreg ; they then easily.scale, .or arc
separated into two or three thin lamina, dr plates.
In, order that thege plates shOuld., be- imlde to join,
they are exposed to the penettating effe,ft of steam,
. ,
hy which they are rendered perfealy soft. .By ap-
plying the, edges immediately to each other, and
pressing themi, they instantly adhere' and form one
substance. It is a contrivance tittle known else_.
where but in China.
