ROYAL

q LOUIS, by the'Grace of God, King of France, &c.

"In consequence of the representations made
to us,, that the Marines, Officers, and others,
destined for the armament of our ships of war,
have been organized in battalion crews, in a' way
to operate n'ost injuriously noon the svttetn of
our Naval Force, by an extension of principles,
forms, and denominations, exelnively applicable
to a Land Force • by Collecting in one vessel and
tor only service Marines calculated for different
lines of service and disCinline, according,to their
degrees, establishment; apd pay ;. by attaching
,iniscriminately to Military Corps men who had
not entered into the Naval Service, but with a
view of engaging in pursuits of commerce, after
having temporarily served on board our ships of
war; by inducing in the mariners a neglect of
their real duties, in dooming them to a line of
rigorous service, without limitation of time ; and,
finally, by such conduct, greatly to augment ex-
pence, without utility to the Naval Service, or to
the individuals so employed :
" besirous of patting an end to a state of
thing's so adverse to the well-being of our inarine;
and to the personal interests of so valuable a pin-,
tiori of. our subjects, as well as to the salutary in-
stitutions established by the Kings, our royal pre-
decessors ;
On the report of the Provisional Commis-
missioners of the Marine Department, and with
the
,e.goizatice of,our Council of State;
" We have ordained, and do order as follows
First—The Officers 01. our Marines, Naval Officers, and Sea-
men, on board our vessels, frigates, and ships of every descrip-
tion, shall be no longer classed or arianged in battalion crews.
" Secondly—All such organization shall cease •on the 30th
day of ,Jupe next, at which period the administration and
compatibility of these iniliridnias shall be made knOWn.
" Thirdly—The Officer; and crews of our different ships of •
war shall remain until that period provisionally in the dif-
ferent ranks and classes prescribed by the existing arrange..

ents.
" Fourthly—From and after the Ist day of July in the pre-
sent year,thrrc shall be no deduction on life score of clothing,
quarters, linen,. and stockings, . from the pay of the Naval
Officers and seamen on hoard oar vessels; the present 'pay
shall be delivered to them clear of deductiOn; our intention
beim;, that the saute shall be so received by them until we
shall order an increase thereof.
" Fifthly—The Commnanders of our ships and other vessels
who shall wish to provide for ;,,ne Officers and seamen of the
. same. the clothing and maintenance, or who desire to be
equipped accort:ing to the usages and customs of our marines,
shall be futnished,with the various articles necessary for this
purpose.
" Lastly—The. principal Commissioners of the Marine De,
partment are charged with the execution of the details of this
Ordinance. " Given at'Paris, this 10th May,

PARIS, MAY Li-A person in the suit of 'Car-
dinal GABRIELLI, Who was' on.his way to Rome,
writes from Frejus, under date of the Ist inst. as
follows :

" Amongst those who embarked with Buona
parte I recognised Generals Bertrand, Drouet,
and Dombrowski: about thirty other- persons
formed the whole of his suit. At Marseilles,
Where we arrived during the night, an iimneuse
crowd collected round -our carriage, under the
idea' that it contained tiuonaparte. In vain we
shouted " Vive le Rai !" This did not prevent
the glasses of the carriage from being shivered ;
• and I was obliged to ask for a light, to show the
people that it was Cardinal Gabrielli. You see,
Sir, Buonaparte pursued us, even though he could
no longer injnre us."
A new trick has been played off on the sensi-
bility of the people of Paris. A-number of per-
sons dressed in military habits went through the
streets, begging and,striving to excite the pity of
the passengers by lying tales. The General of
Division comuranding the Prench troops in Paris
has therefore advised the inhabitants not to divert
their benevolence from the truly. unfortunate, to
assist those wretches, Whose imposture is so much
the more culpable; as Government has taken care
that the allowances shall be distributed with the
most scrupulous exactness, at the different bar-
racks and hospitals, to those who are entitled to
them.

On the 28th April, at half-past four in the morn-
ing, there were felt at Inspruck two strong shocks
of an earthquake. The mo►ion was in a direction
from east to west. Several houses in the town
were damaged.
GENOA, APRIL 27.—Lord Bentinck, Conunan-

tions introduced by the general wish; and founded

" That a Provisional Government shall exercise
the Legislative and Executive Powers of the
State.

That two-thirds of the Great and Small
Council shall be appointed immediately, the other

razzo, Brignole, Fresco, Pallavicini, de Albertis,

DUCHY OF PatotA.—The Duchy of Parma, with
its &Tendencies, given to the Princess Maria
Louisa and her son the Prince Napoleon Charles
Francis, contaMs about 380,000 inhabitants. The
revenues arc estimated at four millions of francs.

The agriculture and interior administration may
be cons;derably amelim:ated. This 'Duchy, go-
verned formerly by, the family of the Farneze, be-
longed to a branch of thellouse of the Bourbons.
