PARIS, JAY. 18.—On the nth inst. the King
gave a private audie►►ce to M. le 'Baron Roussin,
dear-Admiral, who has returned from cruising

The Fquadren under the command of this of-

Lcer was composed of the frigate Amazon, car-
rying his flag, the frigate Clorinde, and the cut-

ter Pomme:— These three vessels, commanded
by able officers, Were admired by all the fo-
reiet:ers who visited them. The officers were
remaiked for their professional knowledge, for
Lhe excellent deportment of their staff, and the
.perfect discipline of their crews. They rendered
important services to the French trade along the
western coast of South America,' and even.fo-

rvignerS have had more than once to congratulate
theinseices on the security which they derived

'from the French flag, during the successive con-

arriving at Brazil, he was informed of the prodi.
gies of valour exhibited in Spain by the French
-armies, and after a short stay ut Rio Janeiro, set
tail for Brest, where he anchored the 2d of De-
cember, with his three ships.—(Monitemr.)

blished tin a religious and monarchical plan. The

ties. The education of youth is to be intrusted
to. a learned both, (the Jesuits) which, nat-
withstanding the irreligious sarcasms it has
drawn upon itself by its excellent principles, pro-
duced the great men who immortalized the age
of Louis XIV.

BARCELONA, JAN. 10.—On the 4th instant, at
roan, when the promenade of the Rembla was
