PAnts, JAN. I3.—We learn from Nismes that
the Royal tribunal is going to bring to trial
Boyle and twelve other persons who are accused
of crimes against the internal security of the
State, of rebellion against the .gendarmerie,
and of attempts to rmirder the gendarmes who
were engaged in the exercise of their functions.
There is no news by express relative to the'
health.of Pope Leo XII. Letters of the 20th of
December, which have been received by the or-
dinary courier, say that hopes are still enter-
tained of the recovery of his Holiness.
A letter from ROMP, of the 29th ult., an-
nounces that Cardinals Spinucci, Archbishop, of
Benevento, and Fabrizzia Ruffo, are dan-
gerously ill.
[The Bulletin of the Piedmontese Gazette of
the 3d of January says, that King Victor Em-
manuel had not experienced any fresh inconve-
nience for some days. 3
(From the Etoile cf :i'tisrsdcy, Jan. 15.)
TairsTE, DEC. 26.—Letters from Corfu of the
ISth of December state, that all the English
men-of-war that are cruising in the Levant have
received orders to meet at Malta. The object
of their meeting is an expedition against Tunis,
the Dey persisting in his refusal to comply with
the demands of the British. Government, which
claims the release of the Greek slaves. On hear-
ing this news the Tunisian vessels have- quitted
the Turkish squadron in the Gulf of Lepanto, to
hasten to the assistance of their Sovereign. It is
to be hoped thaLthis expedition will prove more
decisive than that against Algiers.

BASLE, Jax.B.—The Great Council of the canton of Berne
is to continue its deliberations on the Civil Code with which
that Assembly has been some years occupied. The principal
editor of this Civil Code is Professor Sentd, a very cele-
brated jurist. It lippears that some other cantons are going
to follow the same system, and to occupy themselves also with
the reform of their Civil Laws. It is to be desired that the re-
form of the Penal Laws and of Criminal Procedure s►hould
also be attended to, for in many of the cantons they need great
changes.

It would also have been desirable that an agreement could have
been come to on the introduction of an uniform system of civil
and criminal legislation throughout the whole extent of the
Swiss Confederation. Many of the leading minds in Switzer-
land have shewn this desire, but there are too many obstacles
to permit us to hope that the end will be attained.

FRANKFonT, JAN. 9.--Much is said in our diplomatic cir-
cles of a memorial drawn up by the former Ambassador of a
the Great Power, and sent to St. Petersburgh to be submitted to
Emperor Alexander,in which the author endeavours to establish
' the necessity, in order to put a stop to the calamities of Greece,
of erecting that country into a kingdom, the sorer eignty of which
should be given to a Northern Prince. It is
even added that
this paper has been read at St. Petersburgh by the commission
which is at this moment occupied in that town with considering
the affairs of the Greeks. What is most certain regarding this
project is, (which has, however, been 'Token of several times
within these few years,) that daily communications take place
between the present Government of Greece and the Government
of the lonian islands. Deputies from the Greeks have left
Corfu to repair to London.
PARIS, JAN. 14.—The Etoil► has made for two days past
violent attacks on the manners of the English, relative to a
boxing match which recently took place in the neighbourhood
of London. The same Paper detailed the other day, with plea-
sure, a bull-fight, in which a dozen of these animals had been
killed, seventeen horses ripped up, and- several men wounded.
Each nation has its own customs, and it does not look well to
blame those cf one nation, when those of another are approved.
There is, moreover, this difference between England and Spain,
that in the former country only the lower class of the people
flock to a barbarous spectacle, but in the latter even the Court
does not disdain to be present at such an exhibition. •
