FRENCH PAPERS.

(From the Moniteur of Friday, Nov. 9.)
(OFFICIAL PART.)
PARIS, Nov. S.—To-day, at one o'clock, Government
received the news that Madame the Duchess of Berry was
arrested on the 7th, at ten o'clock in the morning, at
Nantes. She was found concealed in a house with M. de
Mesnars, M. Guebourg, and Mille. de Kersabrie. She
has been lodged in the castle of Nantes. The Council
immediately assembled, and the following Ordonnance was
drawn up and signed :
" ORDONNANCE OF THE KING.
`` Louis Philip, King of the French, to all present, and to
come, greeting :
" On the report of our Minister, the Secretary for the
Departments of the Interior—
" We have ordered and ordain as follows :
" Art. I. A Project of Law shall be presented to the
Chamber to decide respecting Madame the Duchess of Berry.
" Art. 2. Our Keeper of the Seals, Minister of Justice,
and our Minister of the Interior, are charged, each as far
as he is concerned, with the execution of the present Or-
donnance.

"By the King, LOUIS PHILIP.
" The Minister of Justice, A. TRIERS.
" P.ilace of the Tuileries, Nov. 8, 1832."

(From the Messager des Chambres dated Saturday.)
PARIS, Nov. 9.—We learn from Douai, 6th Novem-
ber, that orders had been received on the 2d, to embark
the park of reserve for Antwerp ; measures to execute the
order were immediately taken.
The Advertiser of Dunkirk has a letter from Calais,
which says the combined squadron has just passed in sight
of our port, steering towards the coast of Belgium. We
believe that this news is premature. Count Pozzo di
Borgo, the Russian Ambassador, who arrived at Paris the
day before yesterday, had to-day a conference of three
hours with Lord Granville, the English Ambassador.
The sum of 150,000 francs has just been pl iced at the
disposal of the Military Authorities of Lyons towards the
expenses of the works of the fortifications of that city.

(From the Gazette de France dated Saturday, Nov. 10.)
PARIS, Nov. 9.—After repeating the official account of
the Ilioniteur of Friday morning, the Gazette adds—
P.S. We have this moment received the Breton of
Nantes of the Bth instant, which contains the following
details :—An important search has been made during the
night at Nantes, awl still continues, news having been re-
ceived that the Duchess of Berry is here. The Lieut.-
General commanding the division, the Prefect, the General
commanding the department, the Mayor of Nantes, the
Colonel of the National Guard of Nantes, and various Civil
and Military Authorities are present at the search, which
was made under the direction of M. Dufresne, substitute
of the King's Procurator, who had been requested to be
present.
It was known for certain that the Duchess had caused
inquiry to be made whether she could return and lodge
with safety in the house of Mademoiselle Duguigny, in
the Rue du Chateau, where she bad previously lived.
Being answered in the affirmative, a person arrived, pre-
ceding her by 24 hours; one of her agents, who was to
go and confer with her, also came to Nantes.
The house was watched, and in the morning one of the
Misses Kersabrie was seen to go into the house disguised
as a country girl. At length, yesterday evening, at half-
past four o'clock, a confidant of the Duchess came to say
that she herself had just arrived, that she was in the
house of Mademoiselle Duguigny, and that she was
going to sit down to table. In less than five minutes after
this notice, the Rue du Chateau, the Haute Grande Rue,
the Rue des Carmelites, and the Besse du Chateau were
occupied by a cordon of troops, which suffered no per-
sons to come out of the houses that were surrounded.
Preparations were making to break open the door of the
house of Mdlle. Duguigny, which was not opened at the
summons, when it was at length opened from within.
The cloth was laid but for two persons more than were
present. It was alleged that the two supernumerary
covers were for M. Duguigny and his sister, who lived
near the proprietor, and were not come. A hiding-place,
very well made, was searched, but nothing remarkable was
found. In the garrets of the house there was a small
chamber with a fire-place, which, under other circum-
stances, would have been considered as uninhabitable.
Traces of papers, recently burnt, showed that it must
have concealed somebody who had just left it. A letter
found under the table, and which bad, doubtless, escaped
the auto da fe, was written with sympathetic ink between
the lines; it was addressed to the Duchess, and came from
Paris. She was informed that one of the persons to whom
she gave entire confidence, and who ate at ber table, be•.
trayed her. There had not been time to make the sympa-
thetic ink entirely plain, when the presence of the autho-
rities rerdered flight necessary.
This mass of houses was invested the whole night by
the troops of the line. The National Guard shared in
this duty, which was rather severe on account of the cold.
Some drummers were sent at ten o'clock at night from
house to house, to give notice to the National Guards, and
at half•past eleven, eight hundred men, with the Colonel
at their head,were under arms. There were the Firemen,
the Ist Company of Artillery, and the Ist Battalion of
Infantry.
This morning, at six o'clock, National Guards of the
other companies relieved their comrades and the troops of
the line round the house. Diligent search has been made
at it, and will not soon be given up. An estafette has
been despatched to Paris during the night with the details
that we have collected. The person from whom it is said
the Police has all these particulars was arrested yesterday
evening, while giving the signal of the visit, and sent
under escort to Paris.

The expedition has been directed since the commence-
ment by M. Lenormont, Chief Commissary of Police at
Nantes, and by Messrs. Joly, Dubois, and Prevost, Corn-
missa.ries of Police from Paris. M. Prevost, fearing some
resistance from the persons in the house, has been wounded
in the hand by a pocket pistol, which he was trying to cock
before he entered.

M. Lenormont, who has been but lately employed at
Nantes, has shown indefatigable zeal on the occasion.
In rine of the hiding-places in the house was found a
pretty flrge sum in pieces of five francs, eighty-one francs,
perfectly struck with the effigy of Henry V., as well as
some medals representing a car, which the little Duke
hokk with one hand, who has in the other a trident, with
which he subdues the demon of revolution, which, like a
true St. Michael, he tramples under foot.
P. S.—Noox.—We this moment learn from M. Le-
normont the news of the arrest of the Duchess of Berry,
effected by Messrs. Bulanet, Prevost, and Delaraide. This
important arrest took place under the special orders of M.
Joly, from Paris ; but we may say, that on this occasion
everybody has done his duty, so as to justify the confidence
of the country.
It is not the arrest of a woman—a weak woman—which
will satisfy France ; but what must rejoice every French
heart is, the end of the civil war. The civil war in La
Vendee is at an end.

It is after an uninterrupted search of eighteen days and
eighteen nights, directed by M. Maurice Deval himself,
with a firmness and perseverance which merit the gratitude
of the country.
At ten o'clock the persons employed despaired of finding
anything; however, their search did not cease; when be-
hind a chimney, where there had been a fire all night,
where no one thought anybody could be concealed, the
Duchess of Berry was found, with Messrs. Guebourg and
Mesnars.
The Duchess has just been taken to the Castle. The
garrison was under arms. The National Guard which

mandant of the division of reserve of infantry, which is to

(From the Constitutionnel.)
PA Ms, Nov. 9.—The news of the arrest of the
Duchess of Berry is confirmed by the Nouvelliste. " The
Government," it says, " received yesterday, at one o'clock,
the news of the arrest of the Duchess of Berry. She
was arrested on November 7, at ten o'clock is the morn-
ing, at Nantes. She was found with M. de Mesnars,
Madlle. de Kersabrie, and M. Guebourg, concealed in a
house in the Rue Haute-du-Chateau. The search in the
house lasted several hours. At length a chimney board
was discovered, which, turning on a concealed pivot, al-
lowed of an entrance into a small chamber, and there the
Duchess had sought an asylum with the persons who
accompanied her. She was immediately arrested and
transferred to the castle at Nantes, where she is detained
and confided to the honour of the National Guard and the
garrison." "It is said," the Nouvelliste adds, "that the
Government will refer it to the two Chambers to decide
on the fate of the Duchess. A project of law will be pre-
sented to the two Chambers." We cannot credit the cor-
rectness of the latter assertion of the Ministerial Journalist.
There is a Decree of the Chamber of Accusation which
sends the Duchess of Berri before a Court of ASS'ZC, and
we do not know what power in France can prevent the
execution of this Decree. Justice has the affair in her
hands, and she must follow her own course.
It is said that the Moniteur is to announce the creation
of three new Peers—M. Gueheneuc, formerly a Deputy,
father-in•law of Marshal Lannes ; M. Jacqueminot, Mili-
tary Intendant and Counsellor of State, brother of the
General ; and M. Louis de St. Aignau, Ex-Prefect of
Nantes. It is even said that these three creations took
place at the same time as the former, though the Minis
ters thought it proper not to make it known till now.
The English sailors are better than ours. Our sailors
are as brave, as intelligent, and as enthusiastic as those of
America or Great Britain ; but in general they are not so
strong, and they are less sailors. We must not blame
their education for this, but the law, which sends them
too late to sea, and recalls them too soon, that is, when
they begin to be seamen. We have ten novices for one
seaman, and with that, is it extraordinary that the crews
are not good ? The law must be amended. The Chamber
will, no doubt, understand that a peculiar profession re-
quires peculiar laws, and that to model the navy or army
is to do too little for it. As to the physical qualities of the
men, it is certain that the English sailors are more robust
and better formed than ours, which is an immense advan-
tage in forming crews. It is generally supposed, also, that
short men are better for sailors than tall ones ; but this is
a mistake; there are many occasions at sea where short
and strong men are indispensable. To perform certain
duties in narrow places ten men are placed, who impede
each other, when one or two strong men would suffice.
For this there is no remedy, and we must bear the evil ;
but we may correct it by prolonging the time of service
for the sailors, giving them a proportionable pay.
Our squadron is a fine one, as the English admit, and
we hope that the chances of the narrow seas where it is
going will not be more fatal to it than to the squadron of
Sir P. Malcolm. We do not suppose that the services of
the vessels will be limited to the troublesome duty of a
blockade, but they will share more actively in the coercive
act of the two allies, and then those who doubt our squa-
dron will see whether we have anything to envy in our
glorious rivals. We believe that the maritime part of the
expedition must be promptly terminated, for i❑ December
it is dangerous to remain off the Scheldt. If we recollect
right, in 1813 an attempt was made to leave the Anver-
sois in the river ; she was protected by a framing of wood
edged with strong iron ; a few tides did away with this
protection, and the vessel was withdrawn, half destroyed.
It is necessary, therefore, to be quick.
(From Galignani's Messenger of Saturday.)

PA RIS, Nov. 10. —The Gazette de France, after an-
nouncing the arrest of the Duchess of Berry, and stating
that the news of the capture was received by the inhabi-
tants of Nantes, with a dead silence, adds :—" The
Duchess proceeded on foot from the hotel where she was
arrested to the castle, which is but at a short distance. Not
a cry, not a murmur was heard, and the Princess main-
tained a sang froid and a dignity which seem to be attri-
butes of the other sex. Our private correspondence, from
which we derive these details, adds that, when the hotel of
Mlle. Deguigny was invested by the armed force, the
Duchess was about to sit down to table, and that having
been obliged to hide herself precipitately, she remained till
the next day without taking any refreshment. Before she
went to the castle, she begged some bread of those who ar-
rested her. We are assured that the Duchess of Berry was
almost immediately transferred from the castle of Nantes
to that of S4umur."

The police agent who arrested the Duchess of Berry is
said to be the same who had been charged to follow her
traces in the South from the port of Cette, and who lost
them in the department of the Geis.
The Illessager des Cltambres has the following on the
arrest of the Duchess of Berry :—" Under the table in
the chamber of the Princess was found a letter from M.
Jauge, and in his house at Paris others were discovered,
which made him acquainted with the details of the daily
progress of Charles X. and his family during their jour-
ney into Germany. We are not aware how far these do-
cuments may compromise M. Jauge, who had hitherto
been able to justify himself, and avoid arrest when his
house has bee❑ searched ; hut on the present occasion he
is not so fortunate, as be is imprisoned, and no one is al-
lowed access to him. It has been reported that the Corps
Diplomatique have taken into consideration the situation
of the Duchess of Berry, and have protested against any
rigorous measures being adopted with regard to her, and
that consequently orders have been given to transfer her
from the Castle of Nantes to that of Blaye. It is said
that the Bill to be presented to the Chambers on the sub-
ject of the Duchess will consist of the following articles :
The Prineess shall be conducted out of the cou❑try, and
banished for life. All her property in France shall be
confiscated, and if she, or any other Member of the ex-
Royal Family shall return into France, the penalty of
death shall by that act alone be incurred.
The Augsburg Gazette of the 6th instant commu-
nicates the following letter from Frankfort, dated No-
vember 2 :—" Previous to the departure of Count Pozzo
di Borgo for Paris, he attended a diplomatic dinner, given
by the President of the Diet, Count Munch Bellinghau-
sen, at which only fifteen guests were present. Frost the
circumstance of a sitting having been held by the Diet on
Wednesday, on which day, usually, no sittings take place,
it is inferred that the Ambassador made some overtures to
the Assembly on the part of his Sovereign. It has been
remarked that, immediately after the sitting, the Grand
Ducal Envoy of Luxemburg, Count de Grune, made a
visit to Count Pozzo. It is asserted, however, that the lat-
ter has intim ited to a friend of his, that the intervention of
France and England in the Belgic question would not dis-
turb the good understanding between the great Powers,
hut that it would be confined to the occupation of the
citadel of Antwerp, to which the Cabinets had already
given their consent. This intimation becoming known on
'Change, contributed towards keeping up the funds."—
The same paper contains the following, of the 31st ult.,
from Vienna :—" It is reported that the oiject of
Duke William of Brunswick's visit to this capital is to de-
mand personally the hand of the Grand Duchess Theresa,
daughter of the Archduke Charles. The previous diplo-
matic overtures to this effect led to no result, as the father
of this amiable Grand Duchess will not consent to matri-
monial alliances of his daughters, unless they have made
personal acquaintance with their future consorts, and
formed attachments for them."

Letters from Palermo, of the 10th ult., state that the
long wished for rains had at last commenced, but by ac-
counts from Naples to the 24th, we learn that at that
period the drought continued unabated in that city and
neigh bourhood.
Extract of a private letter of the Bth ins•. from Nantes:
—" M. Drouillard, Chief of Battalion of the Artillery of
the National Guard, first entered the apartment occupied
by the Duchess of Berry, and intimated to her the order
to surrender herself. The Princess asked him by what
right he arrested her. In the name of the law, said M.
Drouillard ; pray, Madam, do not compel rue to use vio-
lence. Charrette, Bourmont Larrochejacquelin made their
escape, in spite of the crowd and armed force, which sur-
rounded the house.—According to a report generally cur-
rent, the Duchess was betrayed by a Portuguese servant,
who had been long in her service."
The Breton of Nantes of the Sth inst. gives the fol-
lowing further particulnrs respecting the Duchess of
Berry, and the circumstances of her arrest :—" 'file
Princess, relisting the earnest entreaties of the chiefs of
her party, who were anxious that she should with-
draw from dangers which they were certain were in-
evitalale if she remained, listened only to the advice of
hot-headed young men, or s uperstitious women, anti
obstinately continued in the heart of a country no
longer disposed to answer to her voice. The cry 01
to arms,' was no longer re-echoed in La Vendee;
the peasantry recovered from their delusion, were con-
vinced of the good faith of the existing Government,
and,full of hope for the future from the abundant harvest,
became anxious to enjoy tranquillity; the abandoned
and fugitive were dying with misery and despair ; and,
in fine, civil war had no longer any chance of success.
The Duchess wandering in the environs of Nantes, only
escaped from the active searches made for her person but
by almost daily changing her abode and her disguise.

Sometimes she wore the habit of a tender of cows or
sheep; at others she appeared as a miller, then as the
femme de elsambre of some wealthy house, and afterwards
as a peasant's wife. Not unfrequently she eluded pursuit
by being carried in a large bundle of bay upon the
shoulders of some sturdy driver of a team of oxen.
At length the Duchess was satisfied there was no safety
for her but in large towns; but at the same time, was
ignorant of the new and rigid vigilance of the police,
which ceased neither night nor day. She consequently
determined to come to Nantes, w'aere she had several
times before resided without detection, and where the
house of Mlle. Duguigny was prepared for her reception.
The police, however, had accurate information of her
intentions, and posted numerous secret agents at every
avenue, who discovered the Duchess coming through the
town with Mlle. Kersabrie, of Pont Saint Martin, in the
dresses of peasants. When the authorities entered the
house of Mlle. Duguigny, the dining-room was the first
object of their visit. The room was decorated with
Fleurs de Lye, and inscriptions bearing the words /Vet:ta-
r/no, Trocadero, Algiers, &c. Fires were burning in
several rooms, and in one of them the heat was very great.
This was the chimney that concealed the entrance to the
retreat of the Duchess and! her companions, but they be-
came so oppressed by the closeness of their situation, that
they made some involuntary movement:, which at length
were heard, and led to their detection. In fact, after re-
maining twenty hours shut up, they were compelled to call
out that they were ready to surrender, and when they were
released, they were almost in a state of suffocation. Mlle.
Kersabrie, in the dress of a servant, came out first.
She was followed by the Duchess, then by the Count
de Mesnars, and lastly by M. Guibourg, who very nearly
fainted, and afterwards declared, that he was pressed
so close against the chimney, that every blow of the
hammer with which the officers struck to ascertain whe-
ther it was hollow, went to his heart. The Princess on
coming into the room immediately said, " It is unneces-
sary for you to continue your search, I am the Duchess of
Berry. Where is the General ? I entrust myself to his
known military honour. If there be any guilty person
here, it is I alone. These gentlemen, and this lady, have
only obeyed my commands." 'The Princess was com-
pletely disfigured by the dust and dirt of the hole in which
she had been so long shut up, but at the same time pre-
served her presence of mind ; so likewise did Mlle. Ker-
sabrie, but the Count de Mesoars and M. Guibourg were
quite exhausted. General Count d'Erlon, M. Maurice
Duval, the Prefect, the Mayor of Nantes, the Colonel of the
National Guards, and the Substitutes of the Procureur
du Roi, then came and officially identified the Duchess
of Berry, and a proces-verbal was drawn up accordingly. The
examining magistrate then proceeded to interrogate the
parties and witnesses, and all the requisite judicial formali-
ties having been gone through, the Duchess, accompanied
by hide. Kersabrie, the Count de Mesnars, and M. Gui-
bourg, was conducted to the Castle by Gen. Dermon-
court. The most respectful attentions were paid to
the Princess, and every due consideration to the other pri-
soners. Several places of concealment had been formed
in the house of Mlle. Duguigny, one of which was suffi-
ciently spacious to hold ten people, hut it was discovered
from the wall having been newly coloured. In another
of these secret places there were found engines and tools
for coining, a printing press, and a great number of pro-
clamations, including one to the people of Nantes, in
which the Duchess promises them that if they would de-
clare in favour of Henry V. the seat of Government should
he fixed at Nantes during the whole of the duration of the
Regency. The Duchess occupies in the Castle the apart-
ments of the Colonel of artillery."
It is said that M. de Chazelles, ex-Prefect of I%lorbihan,
has been arrested, in consequence of the seizure of some
letters among the papers of the Duchess of Berry.
The illoniteur contains a Royal Or donnance, prescrib-
ing that flour of foreign wheat may be imported into the
colonies of Martinique and Gaudeloupe at all times, what-
ever may be the prices in France or in the said colonies,
without any special leave or justification, on condition of
paying a fixed duty of 21f. 50e. per barrel of 90 kilo-
grammes.

The Courrier Francais qates,as a curious fact, that the
Emperor of Russia has lately granted to Charles X. a pen-
sion, to be paid out of funds proceed ng from confis-
cated property in Poland, belonging to the defenders of
liberty.

We have received a file of Corfu Gazettes to the 13th
ult., but they contain no intelligence of the slightest inte-
rest, except an announcement of the Royal permission to
Sir Joseph Rudsdell, Secretary to the Lord High Commis-
sinner, to accept and wear the insignia of a Knight Com-
mander of the Order of St. Michael and St. George.
