the same time a man in his suite held a pistol to
the Mayor's breast.—' You may kill me ; you
Will have a crime to answer for.' The firmness
of the. Mayor had its effect ; it was night ; nei-
ther, party could ascertain the force of the enemy.
Berton retired, threatening to return and make
the town repent its resistance.
" The men whomlßerton had seduced by mo-
ney, and to whom he had promised powerful
and speedy reinforcements, no, sooner saw him
turn back than they dispersed; and returned to
their hemes. Berton had only ten or twelve men
when, be: appeared again before Thouars, which,
having time to- recover itself, closed its gates
against him.

" Berton their resolved to fly with all speed,
and it is ascertained that: illiving. procured the
dress of a p6asant,:ke is now wandering among
the woods and
.mountains with the sole object of
avoiding the active search that is creaking' for him.
The troops which had received orders to march,
have returned I,to their cantonments, and there
have remained only some brigades of Cendar-
tmerie and 'a detachMent of cavalry., which are
actually in pursuit of him; A half-pay officer,
named Route, who had joined the rebels, has
been arrested at Saurnur, as well as a young man,
who was haranguing in the public squares, and
tried to excite the people ; nine or ten persons,
.who• were part of, General Berton!s troop, have
also been arrested, among whom is an Ex-colonel.
It.N hoped they will be all taken.
," M. de Castries has arrested an officer of 1-1.
regiment, who had a correspondence with Paris
and Gen. Bert On. All his troops have marched
against the rebels with the greatest enthusiasm.
Their worthy General, Comte de Bricke, has
repeated on this occasion the honourable proofs
of zeal which he gave at Montepellier in 1815.

" Such is the result of •this rash and crimina
enterprise, which will at least have the advan
tale of shelving hoW impotent those guilty ex

ertions are, with which our ears and our minds
have heea for some time afflicted. France reads

aild hears with disdain seditious declamations,
whia cruel experience has taught it to appre-

elate, and it knows what to think of the words
of the factious, who, in exchange for the liberty
and peace which it enjoys under the protection
of .the King and the Constitutional Throne,
would bestow upon it the most horrible of kll
scourges, civil war. Mean'time all the threads
of this new conspiracy are known." '
It appears also that several tumultuous scenes
have taken place in the church of the Petits-
Peres at Paris and the adjacent streets. This
church has been appropriated to the service of
the Missionaries, who have been insulted and de-
rided in the performance of their religious du-
ties by great crowds, among whom were a consi-
derable number of young men belonging to the
Schools of Law and Medicine. The military
were called in and order restored.

The French Chamber of Peers is still occu-
pied with discussing the Law on the Press. In
the Chamber of Deputies, on Wednesday, the
Report of the Commission for the Management of
the Sinking Fund was read. Count Mollies, the
President of the Commission, announced that the
purchases made in the preceding year amounted
to 77,600,000 francs, by which there had been
acquired in the Great Book inscriptions for
4,000,000 francs de rude. The average price
at which the renter had been purchased was
seventy-two francs. A lively discussion after-
wards took place, respecting the management of
the public accounts, in the course of which the
Ministers, among other accusations, were charged
by M. Dudon with having lent money to the
house of Lafitte the banker, at a rate of interest
below the market price, of which they were suf-
fered to make the advantage. M. Dudon als6
hinted that the money so lent had been employed
in influencing elections. M. Lafitte, who was
Present, indignantly repelled this charge, and
stated, that the house he represented had never
been a debtor to the Government, but, on the
contrary, had lent in 1816-five --Millions in one
day, and in another year six millions. M. La-
fitte also complained, that in naming his house it
had been spoken of by M. Dudon as of the
seventh or eighth rank, against the injustice
of which he appealed to the commercial part of
the community. After some further investiga-
tion it was found that the money (about six mil-
lionsnof francs) had been advanced, not to the
house of Lafitte, but through their agency for
the use of the Provision Company. The speeches
of M. Lafitte and M. Dudon were both ordered
to be printed. On Thursday the discussion on
the public accounts was continued.
On the 28th ultimo the French Five per Cents.
opened at 89f. 50c. rose to 90 f. 45 c. and closed
at 90 f. 25 c. Bank Stock left off at 1587 f. 50 c.
Letters have been received from Warsaw, of a
very recent date, which are not only warlike,
but state, in a very positive manner, that the
Turks have just sent reinforcements to their
army in Moldavia. The report of the war having
ceased between Persia and the Porte is further
contradicted by private advices frOm Constan-
tinople, of the 25th of January, which give the
additional information that the Russian party
was all powerful at the Court of Persia. The
accounts from Augsburgh corroborate the pre-
ceding articles of intelligence :
" A Utz Bli ItGII, VE8.23.---A serious insurrection
has broken out among the Turkish troops both
at Jassy and at Foczany against their Commander
Salih Paella. They insist that the heavy artil-
lery shall be brought back from Braila to Jassy ;
the Paella has been obliged to yield, and 100
pieces of cannon are ordered to Moldavia. An
account is sent to Constantinople, where the affair
will cause great sensation. The Turkish 'troops
continue to be reinforced in Moldavia, where
they are now 40,000 strong:
" It is also said, that there is a mutiny among
the troops on the Pruth; the Janissaries and
the Asiatics insist on war. There is no truth in
the report of peace between Persia and the Porte."

Brussels Papers to the Ist instant have arrived,
from which we give the following extracts :
"FRANKFORT, FEB.2I.—We learn from Cassel
that the person who poisoned the Prince's valet-
de-chambre is discovered ; he is arrested, and is
said to have declared that he took his victim for

another person, on whom he wished to revenge
himself, but that he had no designs against the
sacred person of the Electoral Prince.
" VIENNA, FEB. 15.-A Grand Council has been
held, at which the Emperor presided in person.
It is supposed that the great affairs which engage
the attention of Europe were discussed, for after
the Council broke up, expresses were dispatched
to different Courts. The opinion of the probe-
. bility of the continuance of peace is less confident
than it has been. It is• certain war cannot be
avoided, unless the Porte accepts all the articles
of the Russian Ultimatum without condition or
modification."

A Dutch i\lail, with Pape?s to the Ist instant,
has arrived. The only information of any in.
terest is the account of a violent storm at St.
Petersliurgh and Stockiiohn, On the night of the
sth ult.

Madrid Paper's to the 18th ult. have been re-
ceived, but bring little information. The Uni-
versal of the 16th contains a report of the pro-
ceedings of the preriaratorY sitting of the
Ordinary Cortes on the..previous day. Senor
CALATRAVA3 the President of the Permanent
Deputation, .accompanied;
.by 'sortie Members of
that .Deputation, proceeded thither, and ad-
dressed that Assembly in a speech full of hope
and confidence that theiiew Cortes would direct
their efforts to the consolidation of the new In-
stitutions, and the welfare of the nation.

The following fact, upon the authenticity of
which our Readers may confidently depend, is a
melancholy proof of the state of Ireland :
" The whole of the tenantry of the Earl of
CLARE have thrown up their farms, acknow-
ledging that they have no fault to find with thdr
landlord, but that they are forced.to comply with
the peremptory mandate of the invisible Capt.
Rock."

For other melancholy proofs .of .the unhappy
state of the Sister Island, we refer to the con-
tents of the-triSh Journals received' this morning,
which our Readers will find in another part of
our Paper.

this measure belong to the Board of Trade, but
that " no decision will take place upon it, with-
out due reference to the relative interests of all

ment, as our correspondent is silent upon the
