LONDON, JUNE zB, 1802.

WF. yesterday received Paris Journals to the
z4th inclusive, and this morning those of the zsth
inst. came to hand. An article from Milan of the
14th, contains the important intelligence of the
KING of SARDINIA having abdicated his Crown in
favour of his Son. This ceremony took place at
Rome on the 4th instant.

There was a report of the death of the Archduke
CHARLES, but it did not rest upon any very au.
thentic information. It is certain that that excel-
lent Prince was dangerously ill at Presbarg.
An article from Bourdeayx, of the zoth instant,
states the arrival of the Brig Carqiiire at that Port,
from Guatia/oupe, 'which Island she left on the toth
of May. On the 6th of that month it appears that
the French Army under Qeneial R.ICHEPANSE had
taken possession of thai Colony, and order had been
immediately re-established,
The 'Moniteur contains an Arrh.e, reviving an
Order of Council passed in 1734, respeOing the
Commerce of Martinique, Guadaloupe, St. Lucie,
and Tobago..

The French Government seems at length to feel
the necessity of establishing effedually some kind of
Public Instrudion. No subjed, perhaps, has ex-
hausted so much debate, wrangling, and philoso-
phism for the last ten years, and none has been so
praCtically negleded. It will not be an easy task
to revive the numerous seminaries which formerly
constituted the pride and glory of France, since the
funds allotted for their support have been diverted
to other purposes; but", it will not be a difficult
task, to lay the foundation of a system, strapped of
all dogmas, and modern sophistry, and direCted
principally to the encouragement of Religion and
Morality. Sensible of these truths, the Govern.l
ment appointed .three Inspectors General of Public
lostruCtion, and three Commissaries, who are
authorized to traverse the Itepublic, and to form
Lycea fur the education of Youth. -
By a Decree of die 18th inst. the Civil and
Criminal Administrations of the Colonies restored
to France, by the Treaty of Amiens, are placed
precisely on the same footing as they were in tae
year 1789.
Another Decree has suppressed all the Monastic
and Ecclesiastical Establishments in the four con.
quered Departments of the Sarie, the 1t0..r, the
Rhine and Moselle, and Mont-Tonnere. All their
effeds are placed at the disposition of the Govern-
ment ; but the Commissary-General of those De.
partmeots is to seled from among the- ancient con.
vents and monasteries, six of the largest and best
conditioned houses for retreats to such Nuns as may
be disposed to live in community, and four others
for such Monks, above 7o years of age, who may
' also desire to live together. Each individual who
has reached 60 years of age is entitled to receive an
annual pension of 600 francs, (about 301. sterling)
and 500 francs, (or z 51.) are accorded to such as
have not attained to that age.
The number of votes in Paris for perpetuating
the Consulship of BONAPARTE amount to 63,395 ;
the negatives only to 80, among whom, ac-
cording to our private Conespondent, is the ce-
lebrated CARNo-r. At no preceding epoch,. say
the Paris Journals, have there appeared so many
voters. There were in 1789 only r to votes
for the nomination of Mayor,• and for the accep.
taraze of the Constitution of the eighth year, 27,675.

The Official Paper announces, that after the 25th
inst. letters and parcels from Paris to this Country
will be dispatched on Mondays, Wednesdays, and
Saturdays, and from Calais, on IVlonddys, Wednes-
days, and Fridays.

The Treaty of Peace between the EMPEROR of
RUSSIA and the KING of SPAIN, (which contains
nothing but general expressions of amity) has been
formally ratified by the parties, and was exchanged
at Paris on the 3d of last April.

Yesterday a Dutch Mail arrived ; and this morn.
ing another Dutch and one Hamburgb. Their eon.
tents will be found in our subsequent Columns.

Yesterday morning the PRINCE of WALus, ac-
companied by Colonel LEE, of His Highness's re-
giment, set off for Bibury, to attend the Races
there, which commenced this day. His Highness
drove himself, with a set of horses in his barouche.
The Races ate expeded to,be very numerously at-
tended; from the number of matches which %%0111 be
rode by Gentlemen, owners of their horses.
The PRINCESS CHARLOTIE Of WALES with her
Suite, stopped on 'Wednesday at Salisbury, on her
way to Weymouth.

It is reported in Germany, that His Royal High-
ness the ])uke of CAMBRIDGE will he proclaimed
Sovereign Of the States of Brunswick Luneburg,

Mr. PITT came to Town yesterday from Walmer
Castle,

The ztl battalion of the Ist Regiment of Foot
Guards, about 800 men, commanded by Lieutenant-
Colonel CoLmAN, are ordered from Winchester to
Weymouth, to do duty during His MAJESTY'S re-
sidence at that place. They are to be there by the
zd of July.
Lord BRomE, eldest son of Marquis CORNW AL LIS,
has commenced his canvass of the County of Suffolk.
Mr, Serjeant BEST, it'is said, Will come in for
Petersfield.

Sir FRANCIS BURDEIT offers himself as a Can-
didate for Middle:4ex.

Mr. JOHN HENNIKER MAJPIr offers himself
again for the County of Essex, but in so very poeti-
cal a style, that it will probably far transcend the
capacity of his• Constituents.
Colonel VEREKER conies in easy for the City of
Limerick, on the interest of JonN PRENDERGAST
SMYTH, Esq. his uncle; indeed, any opposition
would be vain against the old and powerful interest
of that Gentleman.

The County of Limerick will he most warmly
contested ; the five following Gentlemen are Can-
didates for it: The I-lon. E. MASSEY, Sir VERE
HUNT, Colonel IVIONSELL., WILLIAM ODELL,
and CHARLES OLIVER, Esqrs.; the two latter will
most probably prove the successful ones, as the
strong interest the late Earl of CLARE had in that
County, will, it is conjeaured, be solely attached
to that party.
T:le contest in the county of Clare, in Ireland,
is expetied to be very great ; four Candidates start,
but the Old and powerful in:crest of the Hon. FRAN-
CIS BENTON, is sure to bring him in first. Sir
EDWARD O'BRIEN it is tn<Jught will come in second,
against Sir HUGH MAssry's. Son, and Col. MAC-
DONNgLL.

We 410 not yet know who will be returned for
Ennis: that Borough belongs to Eow. Q'l3Rl EN.

QnSatur&ly morning the remains of the late Jolt
CottNwALL, Esq. Banker, were interred in the
family vault at Hendon.

We are concerned to state a very alarming acci-
dent which occurred to Lord SOMERVILLE yester.
day, in the neighbourhood of Cashiobury. His
Lordship had been for some days on a visit to the
Earl of Essex, and Was yesterday forenoon taking his
departure. He had not been long seated in his
curricle, when his horses took fright, and ran away.
His Lordship was thrown out, and some of his limbs
fradured. An Express came to Lurd Essex, who
was attending Divine Service in *Watford Church.
He instantly set off in a post-chaise and four, with
two Medical Gentlemen from Watford, to the as-
sistance of Lord SOME RV IL LE.

Lord HARDWICKE set off on Wednesday morn-
ing from Fornaught, the seat of Mr. NEVILLE,
where he was on a visit, for the Curragh Rices, but,
near jigginstown, the unfinished Palace of the un.
fortunate Lord ST/TFORD, both his carriages

broke down, though the road was uncommonly good,
and by the time post.chaises arrived from Naas, a
deluge of rain occas►oned him to postpone his excur-
sion, and to return to Fornaught, whence he next
day proceeded to Dublin.
By a reference to our Law Report, it will be
found that the CHANgELLo.it has postponed the
claim of the PRINC E of W4.4.*5, till the Term after
the Vacation.
Englishmen, who are going to France, must have
Passports both from Lord HAWKESBURY and M.

Limerick, where it replaces the 46th ; the zd bat_
talion of which has been reduced, and the xst bat-
talion marched on the tith, 16th, and 17th instant,
for Cork, for embarkation.
The Essex Fencibles, quartered at Nenagh and
Roscrea, in the County of Tipperary, have been in-
formed that the reduttion of the Regiment would
take place on the 24th, when such of the men as
chose to dispose of themselves at the instant, should
receive fourteen days pay, and that the rest should
be conveyed at the King's expence, to England.—
Several of them availed themselves of permissioh to
'enlist into regular corps.
The recruiting service for the East India Com-
pany has been carried on with singular success in
Ireland, where numerous good soldiers, who had
been in the Clare and 17,erry Regiments of Militia,
have enlisted.
