CIRCULAR OF TIIE MINISTER OF WAR.
Conformably to the report of the Duke de l'lnfantado, Lieu-
tenant-General of the royal armies, on the
mode to be followed
speedily to effect the re-organization and completion of the Royal
Guard, the King has resolved as follows :—_
" 1. Before proceeding to a general enrolment for my army,
those men shall be admitted to serve in my Royal Guard who
shall volunteer for that purpose, and who shall possess the
qualifications bare below enumerated.
"2. The recruit who shall volunteer to serve in my Royal
Guard shall not be under 18, nor above 30 years of age; his
stature at least five feet three inches, his constitution healthy
and robust, and without any bodily defect.

" 3. No one can be admitted who has been proceeded against
by justice, if he is of infamous extraction, and if he has volun_
tarily served, in any quality whatever, under the pretended
Constitutional system.
" 4. Individuals may be admitted into my Guard, who, hav-
ing served in my Armies, before the establishment of the Con-
stitution, have continued to serve under the illegal Govern-
ment ; provided however, and on the express condition, that
they have not borne arms against the Royalist and allied
troops, that they have not taken part in any public disorder,
that they have given proofs of good conduct, and that they an-
swer to the condition in No. 2.

" 5. Soldiers now serving in my armies, including the pro-
vincial militia, and who wish to enter my guard, may make
application according to my ordinances, and to the terms of the
present resolution.

" G. The Commanders, Officers, and all others who shall be
applied to for information, for the admission of individuals into
my Guard, and who shall omit any important circumstances,
shall be responsible for the consequences of such omissions.
" 7. That those who wish to enter my Guard may be able to
make their application without being obliged to come to my
capital, the Commandant-General of my Guard shall form
corps of recruits where he shall think fit, and shall give them
the necessary instructions.
" 8. The individuals of my Guard shall enjoy the advan-
ages of the high pay, and of serving only three-fourths of the
ime that I have fixed for the service of the other troops."

PARIS, JAN. B.—A. horrible event took place
this morning, betwaen seven and eight o'clock. M. Laurent
Bernard, banker, rue Cadet; No. 14, and his mother, have been
found both shot to death, and bathed in blood. Two pistols were
discharged, one in the hand of the son, the traces of the
priming were on his fingers; in fine, the circumstances related
the report of the Doctor, Louyer Nillermay, seem to prove
that this double crime had been committed by M. Laurent Ber-
nard himself. It is said that he had ruined himself by stock-
jobbing. This catastrophe passed in the chamber of the son.—

HATCHING FISII.—The newspapers during the
past week have been describing, as a matter of wonderment, the
process adopted by a Mr. Barlow for hatching eggs, but in which
there is in reality nothing either new or surprising, the process
having been lung known and practised in the East. The fol-
lowing account of a mode of hatching fish will be allowed, per-
haps, to be a little more extraordinary :—The Chinese fisher-
men coliect with care, on the margin and surface of the water,
all those gelatinous matters which contain the spawn of fish._
After they have found a suificient quantity, they fill with it the
sell of a fresh hen-egg, which they have previously emptied,
stop up the hole, and put it under a sitting fowl. At the ex-
piration of a certain number of days, they break the shell in
water warmed by the sun. The young fish are presently hatch-
ed, and are kept in pure fresh water till they are large enough
t,) be thrown into the pond with the old fish. The sale of spawn
tOr this purpose forms an important branch of trade in China.
In this, as in some other matters, we may perhaps take some
useful lessons from the Chinese. The destruction of the spawn
of fish by troll-nets, threatens, in many parts, the utter ex-
tinction of fisheries that were formerly very productive_

delivery up of the said prisoners. We do not yet
know the result.—( Restaurador.)
Immediately after the promulgation of the am-
nesty, it appears that there will be another de-
cree respecting ;:the fate of the officers of the
Constitutional -army, - who are not classed with
the authors of the revolution. They will be di-
vided into several series. The first will include
all the officers of the Royal Guard who aban-
cloned their corps to enrol themselves with the
revolutionary party, as some of them did on the
7th of July, 1822. The second will include the
officers who became Revolutionists after the pro-
mulgation of the constitution, in consequence of
the oath which the King was compelled to take.
Finally, the last will include the officers who
only followed the torrent, but who have conduct.
ed themselves with moderation, order, and dis-
cipline. The above are the three classes which
merit especial attention.
It is said also, that there will be no distinction
between the military who have preferred pro-
ceeding to France as prisoners of war, and
those who remained in their cantonments, hav-
ing made their submission to the King; for
amongst the former are many who, influenced by
a false point of honour, would not take the oath
of submission to his Majesty, and amongst the
others there are some whose conduct does not
indicate a very sincere conversion ; therefore,
it is added, the conduct which they have mani-
fested during and since the revolution, will serve
as a basis for the fate which will be assigned to
them. Filially, the army is dissolved, and the
military junta charged with its new organization
will create one which may afford every pledgeof
fidelity and attachment to our Sovereign, because
care will be taken to place at its head those who
have taken up arms for the King, and sacrificed
themselves to the good cause.

P.Aiu JAN. B.—We read In the American
Papers that England is understood to have pro-
posed to them United States to join her in
repelling all the attempts which the Continental
Powers may think fit to undertake against the
independence of the American colonies.
We are not in the secrets of Cabinets, and
we know not how far this news may be false or
true ; but we do know that in waging war, there
must be at least two belligerent parties. Now,
as we perceive the Continent perfectly tranquil,
and call find nobody who thinks of warlike ex-
ploits, the United States may have the trifling
pleasure, if they desire it, of parading their fleets
in triumph over seas in which they will meet with
none hut friends.
