FRENCH AND DUTCH PAPERS.

PARIS, MARCH 1.--The Senate met on the 27th
•
ult. at halt past one o'clock. The Prince Arch-
. Chancellor, who presided on the occasion, fead the
following Message ftcm his Majesty :
" SRNATORS,—We have dispatched to Vienna,
as our Ambassador Extraordinary, our cousin the,
Prince of Neufchatel, to solicit the hand of the
Archduchess Maria• Louisa, daughter of the Empe-
ror of Austria. •
" We have given orders to the Minister for Fo-
reign Relations to lay before you the Articles of the
Treaty of Marriage between us and the Archduchess
Maria-Louisa, which has been concluded, signed,
and ratified.
" We have been de'sirous of eminently contri-
buting to the happiness of the present generation.
The enemies of the Continent have founded their
prosperity upon its dissensions and divisions. They
can no longer nourish war, by imputing to us pro-
jeBs incompatible with the ties and duties of affi-
nity, which we have just contraaed with the Im-
perial House reigning in Austria. .
" Tbe brilliant qualities which• distinguish the
Arch-duchess Maria-Louisa have acquired her the
love of the people of Austria. They have fixed our
regards. Our people will love this Princess from
their-love for us, until, being witnesses of all the
virtues Which have given her so high eplace in our
thoughts, they shall love her for herself.
" Given at our Palace of Thuilleries, this 27th
of February, is to:
• (Signed) "NAPOLEON."
After the Message was read,. the Duke de Ca-.
dore cotnriihnicated to the Senate the Articles of
the Marriage treaty, which are in the usual form.
The. Senate appointed Counts Gentler, Lacepede,
Laplace, Jancourt, Cornet, Barthelemy, De Merode,
De Fothanes, and the Duke of Valtny, as a Com-
mittee, to draW up an Address to his Majesty, and
adjourned to Saturday the 3d instant. •
It is reported that the Articles of the Treaty rela-
tive to the Emperov's marriage, are; with regard to
portion, dowry, and jewels, in all respeas the same
as those in the marriage treaties in preceding reigns
between- the Kings and Dauphins of France, and the ,
Princesses of Austria.
We are assured, that the Duchess of Bassano, and
the Countesses Montmorency, de Bouille, and de
Lauriston, are on the point of setting off for Brannan,
which is on the frontier of Austria: It is added, that
her •Majesty the Queeti df Naples will speedily take
the same route.

His Majesty the Emperor presided yesterday at a
meeting of the Council of State.

M. Rufin, one of the French Ccinabiti, passed
through Nancy on the isth ult. on his way to Con-
stantinople.

A letter frond-Inspruck; of the gth ult. says, that
General Baraguay d'Hilliers hatigiven a prpte&ion 19
the wife of Andrew Hoffer, that she may reside,un-
molested in the inn belonging to her husband. The
latter had written to her from Mantua, that he was
well treated by the French, and that she should hear
again from 'him from Milan. It was reported that
all the French troops were to evacuate the Tyrol,
and that they were lobe relieved by Bavarian troops.
From a report by General Gully to the Minister at
War, it appears that the late expedition cost the
English the loss of 15,000 men. In.the months of
August and September they bad 10,000 sick, of
whona 9;soo,died in Waleheren ; 5,500 were em-
barkedlor England, but it is known that of these
1,000 died'on the passage, or soon after their arrival.
They had from 3.t0 400 killed at Flushing; and
two vessels., containing 1100 .men, were wrecked
on the banks of Westcapel. Their, loss in stores
was also very great; I 5 vessels, laden with various
article*, foundered two days before the departure of
the squadron.

Atrassuito, FEB. 15.--3ugar fell 30 per cent.
htre the instant it was known that the English con-
voy, which entered the Baltic in December had
landed a considerable quantity of that article in the
Prussian ports. whence it is conveyed into the inte-
rior of Germany.

HANovex, FEB. 16.—The French Authorities re-
ceived dispatches this day from Cassel, announcing,
we understand, the union of Hanover with the
kingdom of Westphalia. His Excellency, the Go-
vernor-General, Lasalcette, convoked, at one o'clock,
the Members of the Commission of Government,
to w4om he communicated the contents of the dis-
patches. The day alter to-morrow a numerous De-
putation of the States and Colleges is to proceed. to
Cassel. '

BAYONNE, FEB. 12.—Accounts from Madrid
stale, that on the 6th inst. 2000 prisoners of war ar-
rived there, who lud beau taken in' the battle of
Montizon.

AIANTOA, FEB. The celebrated Andreas
Hofer, the Chief of the Tyrolese Insurgents, arrived
here on the sth inst. escotted by some Fens d'armes.
He was, together with one of his accomplices, con-
veyed to the military prison in .thc citadel, whets he
is closely guarded.

AUGSBURG, Fab. 12.—1 t is understood, that the
negotiations between the Turks and Servians have
not taken a favourable • turn,, and that the parties
cannot agree. the Turkish Government insists on
the entire submission of the Servians, which the
latter peremptorily refuses. We, may, therefore,
soots exited the recommencement of hostilities; for
which preparations have already-been made on both
sides. '

VIENNA, FEB. 10.—Private letters from Turkey
mention, that the English Envoy at Constantinople,
Mr. Adair, has been refit ested to take his departure;
and that orders had been already given to strengthen
the forts of the Dardanelles. It is also added, that
negociations are carrying on for peace between
Russia and Turkey, under. the mediation ofFranee.

The most curous specimen of Stock at Lord So-
merville's show, was exhibited by the Rev. James
Willis, consisting of six wethers; the .produce of
six different breeds of ewes,' which fully convinced
the farming world, that the wool of all of them was
greatly improved, and the carcase at the same
time by no means injured, by the cross of a
Merino ram. The crosses were, Leicester, Rye-
land, DOwn, Dorset, Wiltshire,. and New Forest
-Heath Cropper.

POETir

TO THE MBAIORY' OF :ANN BEAUCLERK.

SY DSlt. JERNINGHAIII.

the many a winter passing o'er thy tomb
Has Chill% thy ashes, and has snock'd thy doom;
Tho' many a summer, fraught with softest air, _
Has kiss'd thy grave, and tb linger there :
'rho' autumn, as impress'd with conscious grief,
Hes strew'd the holy spot with many a leaf;
'rho' deck'd with early tiow'rs, full many a spring.
Has hurried o'er thy form with envious wing;
Nor with one snow-drop grac'd the hallow'd way,
Vecause thyself a purer snow-drop lay.
Yet shill thy Friends thy hanourd name revere,
While so their grief thy virtues still are dear;
They still recall, with an impassion'd.mind,
The pleasing scenes stern Time has thrown behind;
When thy lov'd preFence, like a heav'nly guest,
Rais'd a soft extacy in ev'ry breaSt.
For me, now. bending from the blow of TimCe
And,all unfit to build the lofty rhyme,.
The thought of thee conveys a transient fire, •
And my soul wakes the long-de§erted lyre.

No later accounts have been received-from Ca-
diz than those which we yesterday communicated
to the public. . •
The folloWing letter, we believe, contains a pretty
accurate description of the state of the place
" CADtz, Fee. 22.—The French seem
,to be aug-
menting their strength round this city, and have
thrown up seeerral batteries,and other works near
St. Mary's. We do not think that, until they re-
ceive considerable reinforcements, they will venture
to invest Cadiz. Provisions ate said to be very plenti-
ful in the enatuy's camps, end no doubt.it is so. •
" The garrison here is stated to amount to above
30,000, but I believe this to be in exaggeration.
They consist of Spaniards, English, and some Pot--
Augtiese.. These are more than are nece/sary for Or
defence ; and if they were increased, I should think
it rather a misfortune than a benefit, as the inhahi-
'tants are so numerous, and provisions will soon not
be very abundant.

" We are told that the Duke of ALBUQUERQUII
has it in idea to make a sally upon the enemy •when
a favourable opportunity offers ; but if it takes place
at all, it should be done quickly.
" The shipping in the harbour continue to destroy
the works .of-' the enemy, and to molest them as
much as possible. They have killed a considerable
number of the French, out we have sustained some
damage."

BRITISH INSTiTLITION.-We noticed generally
the opening of this excellent Asylum for rising
genius, and we mean to give due attention to the
prominent Merits of the several productions of the
present year. The picture in the Flemish style by
SHARP, is deservedly admired, and there were
many cornpAitors for the purchase Of it. The ex-
pressiOn of the clLild who has rashly taken a pinch of
snuff, and is on the eve of sneezing, is most hap-
pily delineated, The Idle Boy, by ALLA tiGfiAM, is
somewhat in the style of OPIE, but by no Means a
trvi!,..l imitation; it displa) s aline breath of light,
is well coloured, and there is a marl:ed expression
of charaCter. LINN Ek, a .very eicellent Artist, and
whose merit is the more extraordinary, on account
of his very juvenile period,- "does not merely sustain
hi& reputation, but has made a considerable advance
since last year. His chief picture,. a Landscape,
somewhat in rhemantier.of RuYSDAEL, is an admir-
able proof of his attention to nature, and his. repug-
nance to all gaudy colouring. POCOCK 'makes a'
conspicuous figure, and without knowing whether
.he is a candidate for the premium,., we may fairly
say, that he stands a good chance for obtaining it.
His IVarcissus haS great beauty and force. His plc- '
tune of the Nun was. itnmediately purchased.--A
Ferry-Loat, by CHALON, is a.very spirited and chaste
produaion.—REYNOLDS seems to be gradually di- 1
vesting himself of that gloom which he probably i
caught from too close an attention to RamaaANT 1
and has this year produced seine works that are free
from that affe&ation of strong ShadoW. His picture I
of the Weaver at W tork is a very masterly perform- r
ance, and is particularly, distinguished by the bold !
effea.of light from the window. The piatire ,:n- !
titled Asking leave of Marriage, by .CossE, is a
work of exquisite skill.' The figures are. all admir-
ably
conceived,' and 'the story wall told. This pic- 1
ture, in point of finishing, may rank With any mo-
dern works. • The only fault in it -is die declivity !
of the room, as it would be impossible for the per-
sons on such a slope to -maintain their !fOoting.-- i
But it is time for us to pay honiage to female merit. 4
The pieture of Clymene and her Daughters, mourn-
ing
over the tomb of Phietsiz,• from-. Om), does
great credit to the taste and genius of Miss JA.ca.- 1.
ON, daughter• of Dr. Jaticsow: The 'figures are
well drawn and well disposed. .1: he'Varied espres-
sions of sorrow indicate i-o-ittetitiv& observation of
pature, aad a due regard to•the respe6tive charaaers
Introduced. The colouring is vivid, chaste, and
harmonious, and the \cork altotracther is a powerful
evidence of taste and genius. We shalt, as oppor-
tunity serves, renew our obervations on the several
produittions in this meritorious nursery of the British,
Arts. . ,

It is said that Mr. SOANE, the Professor of Arehi-
tedure to the Royal Academy, has resolved to ap-
peal against the new bye-law passed by the Presi-
dent and Council of That Institution, prohibiting
all cOtninents on the works of living Art.wts, as that
law was founded on his animadversions upon the
New Theatre in Covent-Garden. As the Royal
Academy is more respectable for talents, as a gene-
ralbody, thin at any former period, and consists of
men deservedly esteemed in private life, it is a mat-
ter at regret, as well as of surprize, that there
should be among them such frequent causes'of dis-
srsion.

lloAx.—Physicians, Surgeons, and Apothecaries;
Jewellers, AuCtioneers, and Governesses; Poulterers,
Pastry-cOoks, Undertakers, &c. have for the last
four Mays besieged the house of Mr. HooKnAsi, 15,
Old Bond-street, in consequence of two-penny and
three-penny post letters, containing orders, appoint-
ments, &c. Indeed the hoax is by no.means on the
wane ; and unless this paragraph should be noticed
by those whom-it may concern, they maybe put to
expence as Well as inconvenience.

TO THE
RIGHT HON. LORD VISCOUNT 4IDMOUTH

MY TAR p,

The prospea of an intended. Bill being brought
into Parliament by your Lordship, the ()Ned 'pt
which is to check that spirit of Se6tarianism now
unhappily so prevalent in this kingdom, must afford
the highest satisfaetion to every one who is at all
interested in the preservation of our venerable
establishment.

I - For myself, individually speaking, I rejoice that a
subje& of such moment is espoused by a Nobleman
of your Lordship's charaEter, which
.has been uni-,
formly acknowledge.) (even by those who may have
materially dissented from.youl on questions of a po-
litical nature) •to be alike hoStile to bigotry.or pre-
judice in. matters of religious opinion.
The Established Church has at present to contend-
with two grand leading evils :—First, the facility
with which its opposers become initiated into. Cle
rical Offices; upon which I shall merely observe,.
that the circumstance of a man (ignorant frequently
of the very rudiments of his' native Grammar) ob-
taioing a License to preach the Gospel, by paying
the paltry sum of sixpence, and therebytaining at •
, once an indolent livelihood, and an exemption from
serving his country in any situation, either civil or
militwy), is one of too • 4-reat importance for the
Legislature supinely to .overlook any longer.,-sdly,
I allude to the difficulty which the supporters of
the establishment labour under in carrying forward
any plans they may form for.its promotion and,de•
fence, especially in the ereEtion of additioual places_
of worship.
Your Lordship, I perceive, has in a great measure
bent your attention to loth these objeets. Therois,;"
however, a third point, which appears.to me of al-
most equal importance, and which has occasioned
me to address this Letter ; namely, that in every •
Church or Chapel of the establishment, now, or
hereafter to be ereaed, a' greater degree of attention •
should be paid to thecomfort and accommodation
of the poorer classes of the community, than has hi-
therto been the_case. In large towns this'evil is felt
in a peculiar degree, and of which Sectaries are ap-
•. pat curly well aware, by the zealous exertions which
me/7 noceasingly use to secure the Lody of the poor
to themselves. The remedy is obvious, and ;.vili,un-
doubtedly be best effected by adeqoate. funds being
f, raised either fur the ereßion of Free Churches, or
for purchasing in differetit places of worship skich a
space as she'll be deemed sufficient for the reeption
of the ii,jghtiouriqg p-or. I urge this argument
mon- sttolOy from having carefully attended to the
subjett ; and the, instances that have occurred to me,
where. the latter plan has been acted upon, have
baen generally found to-effe6t their intended objet
in a most satisfaclory manner.
I throw,out these
.bints, with gremt deference, for
your Lordship's consideration, and have, in conclu-
sion, only to hope, that your laudable exertions,. in
defence of ti,e purest form of v.rorship eveirsta-
Wished in the world, may, under thu blessing of .
Heaven, bu crowned with the most abundant
success.

I beg leave-to subscribe myself,
Your Lordship's obedient Servant, -

.0n Alonday came on the trial of Capt. Thomas
Mendenhall, of the American schooner Glee; for
the murder of Henry Jarvis, seaman, on board the
Said vessel, on the 1 sth of August last. It appear- -
ed in evidence, that the deceased had been on
board a brig in the hat bour, where he had drank
until he .became inebriated, and on his return to
the
.Glee, ..he went up -10 Captain Mendenhall; and
demanded grog, _which the latter 'tefustd, telling
him be had got enough already, and desired him to
go below; upon which he used very insulting lan-
guage, .and Captain Mendenhall slightly Chastised
him with a rope's end: The deceased then became
quite outrageous, doubled his fist; rushed towards
Captain Mendenhall in the most menacing mnnner,
saying he was one man and Captain. Mendenhall.
another, and-that hie would have his blood ; when,
the latter snatched ill), a 'scrubbing brush that was
lying close at hand, with which he struck the de-
ceased the mortal blow. Captain Mendenhall itn-
rdediatelywent in his boat and procured medicaras-
sistance, and expressed sincere sorrow in finding
that the wound . would prove mortal. The witness
stated-him to be a very mild and humane chara.eler ;
and the Jury returned a veiclid of "
without bearing the defence.
On Tuesday ‘Villiam . Collett was" tried for the
Murder of a negro man, named James. The only
exi.lence that appeared was the declaration of the
prisoner before the Coroner's Inquest, which staled
that the negro was in a rebelliou( state, refusing to
work, and that be presented a gun at him tnerely
to intimidate 'him, 'when it accidentally went off,
and the contents lodged in the body of tit,,, negro,
in consequence of which he. died. Tile Jury re--
turned a verdia of " Not Guilty."
