FRENCH PAPERS.

PArtts, APIUL 10.—Yesterday, before mass,
which his Majesty beard in his apartments, he
gave several private audiences.
At three o'eloek, the King appeared at one of
the windows of his apartments, and was saluted
by the moat lively acclamations. The health of
his Mitjesty is such us to afford the hope that he
will forthwith resume his usual promenade.
Lord Exmouth and Count Marcoff were pre-
sented to his Majesty.

M. flioust has appealed against the judgment
of the ttibtmal of Correctional Police.
A movement of insubordination having maul-
Tested itself in the third company of the Gardes du
Corps against some of the Officers of that com-
pany, the King, in consequence of the statement
laid befote him, has imMediately ordered its dis-
bandment by the following Ordinance. The equip-
ments of the company were re-conveyed yesterday
to Versailles, where it is to be reconstituted.
41 Louis, &c...-We have ordered, and do order,
as follows :

" "rlie. Company of Noailles, of our Guards du Corps, is
aisbanded.
" It shall be Immediately re-farmed at Versailles.
(Signed) " LOUIS."
Dated Btll Ap6•il, 1817."

They write froth Amiens the Bth instant, M. vie
troglie, Bis.hop of Glient,'llas been here for four
days. He sets out to-clay for Paris. This Pre-
late takes refuge in trance to escape the execu-
tion of a manilat of appearance decreed against
Linn by a judicial authority in the Netherlands.
A Valet tie Chambre of the Xing of the Nether-
lands arrived here on Sunday evening, and the
text morning cut his throat, and was found dead.
One of our Journals has published the following
wrticie

" The King. who, notwithstanding the pains
of the gout, had never ceased to transact business
with his Alinisters, is perfectly recovered from his
indisposition.. With -What eagerness do persons,
in the hope of seeing him, flock to the terrace of
the Castle to testify their love and their gratitude
every time that his Majesty shows himself at the
Avintlows of his cabinet. Daring the festival,
consecrated to the most august ceremonies of re-
ligion'; the churches incessantly echoed the prayers
addressed to Heaven for his preservation. His
subjectuknow that the greatest happiness which
can 12'e :expected by men or by empires, is to be
governed by Princes, who, like him, unite great
prudence %vitt% extensive capacity ; who join a ju-
Plicioiss employment of their talents to a generous
hive of their people. How, then, could they re-
au degree all the Royal virtues? A dynasty
.wbose sceptre extends to ages so• remote could
not but find among Frenchmen of the nineteenth
century the attachment which their ancestors
testified at all times to their Sovereign. They are
not ignorant it is the nottrbons who have preserved
them from the misfortunes of conquest, and who
assure them a long peace. They see the inex-
haustible succours which the Royal Family heaps
*llion the wretched. They are convinced that the
King -will continue to make for the relief of the
nation all the sacrifices which are consistent with
the due splendour of Its Crown and they are
daily witnesses of the joy of their Princes, while,
by their benevolence, by their affability, that
charm which accompanies all their actions,
they excite that gratitude which in its %turn
leads to new displays of kindness. The au-
gust dynasty which governs us is establish-
ed, for the repose of France, upon a basis
which common wants and universal grati-
tude must continue to consolidate. The happy
marriage which caused so much satisfaction to
this illustrious family, and holds out to our bores
such a near gratification, has had the effect of
rendering clearer to its Princes whose bounty is

proverbial ; and if, as may be confidently antici-
pated, this marriage produce new heirs to the
throne, it will still increase our love to that
tutelar power to which is attached the tranquillity
of all countries."—(Moniteur.)

Laurent Pomier, of Gignac (deportment of He-
r:mit), bad been condemned on the 12th of March,
1816, to perpetual forced labour, for attempting
the lives of two individuals who were testifying
their joy at the fall of the tyrant, on the 2.d of
July, 1815, and the restoration of the legitimate
Government. Having invoked the Royal cle.
money, he was pardoned on the 12th of March
last. On the 26th of the same month, the Royal
Court of Montpelier registered the sentence in the
presence of Pomier, who answered the discourse
of the President in a loyal and grateful speech
Oh ! my Kiug, my father, my saviour (said be), what
return can I make for so much goodness ? I will overcome all
obstacles; I will arrive in your august presence; my heart
will express the love, the devotion, the fidelity,'which will be
pvrpoually impressed upon it. I will renew at your feet the
eagagetment which I this day contract, to live only to bless

yemr clinnctrey, and to shed drnp of ray 11l ...a ftuAlte

of my country. 'Vire le "

Thii last exclamationwas.repeated by the whole
of the persons present.
For a long time the English and the Americans
have had for their young men a practical School
of Navigation, from which both' their marine and
their commerce have drawn great advantages.—
By means of instructive voyages in distant regions,
these two nations continually form sailors capable
of supporting their national renown. Prance,
which has been prevented by 25 years of war and
troubles from following this useful example, must
now enter the same career. To support this ho-
nourable rivaiship, already have our maritime cities
hastened to prepare expeditions which nay carry
our flag to seas where, for a long time, it has been
almost unknown. In conformity with this ob-
ject, the Ceres, a ship of three masts, will sail
shortly from Dieppe, under the comment of Se-
gur, a Captain of a frigate, Member of tlt Legion
of Honour, assisted by Officers belongitg to the
military marine, on a voyage of discovers in those
parts of the Indian seas where our industry may
expect the best means of encouragement.
The Second Council of War, to which he cause
of Lieutenant-General Grouchy was referred, has
declared its incompetence to try him. l'he pto-
ceedings which took- place, and the speeffies that
were delivered, present no circumstance to the
public of which it was not formerly in pos-
session.*

There have been vaccipilted hi the deprtment
of the two. Sevres during 1816,•t%v0 thousand ht.
dividuals. This number is superior to that.• of
preceding years. In the departinerit of the
ISleurthe there were vaccina:ed 15,600
indivi-
duals during the same year. The. Prefect at that
department has given premiums to those who .are
distinguished by their zeal. in promoting vaccina-
tion

By the latest news from Odessa it appears, that
the commerce of that port is very active, and that
there are in it many foreign vessels. The must
eminent corn merchant, M. Kattley, is dead : he
he has lett an immense fortune.

Letters from Spain announce, that in the coun-
try of Itioxa, the town called Arnedillo has been
swallowed up-by the falling down of a mountain.
All the inhabitants have perished. The village of
Bolarsa has likewise been very much damaged by
the same event. The convulsion felt at Bayonne
has been attributed to the same cause.

EARTHQUAKES AND REMARKABLE PH E.

NOMENA.

The French Papers which arrived yesterday
supply the following particulars, in addition to
those which we have formerly published under
this head :---

The earthquake which was felt at Barcelona on
the 18th ult., at eleven o'clock in the morning,
was likewise felt on the same day at Lerida, at
Saragossa, and at Madrid. At Saragossa it was
experienced some minutes before, and at Madrid
some minutes after, .the shock at Barcelona ; but
in the two latter cities much more strongly than
in the former. At Saragossa the concussion was
so violent us to throw down a painting in the

ened, and fled front church. At Madrid the
commotion was still more alarming, and was
felt particularly at the Royal manufactory of
porcelain at the Retito,. an edifice almost
ruined dining the war. There it overthrew a
wall that killed two men. A violent shock was
likewise felt at the Palace of Justice. The
Judges, who were sitting, deserted the hall, which
trembled around them. It was believed to come
from the west, and it is feared that Lisbon has
suffered by this convulsion. News from that town
are therefore expected with impatience. The
weather at Barcelona continued clear and serene,
and the air had recovered its usual temperature.—
The Journal of Barcelona publishes an article,
dated Alcocir, in the province of Guadalaxara,
the 2Stli of February, which details circum-
stances formerly noticed in Tile SUN, but
with such additions as induces us to present
it to our readers :—" We have just witnessed a
phenomenon seldom experienced in regions distant
front the coast. On the 120th of the month the
weather was rainy from the morning downwards,
and the warmth was greater than is usual at the
season. At three o'clock in the evening there was
some lightning, accompanied with thunder, which
soon ceased ; but at half-past six o'clock there
suddenly arose a violent wind like those which com-
monly precede in summer violent storms. There
fell at the same time hail and rain along with the
thunder and lightning. The Heaven was brigiten-
ed, and there only remained a black cloud, s'hich
increasing instantly, in au extraordinary mauler,
dischat,ed from its skirts, about a quarter before
7 o'clock, such a flash of lightning, and stch a
clap of thunder, that people who were in the
streets, or in the country, fell to the earth frighten-
ed with the terrible noise; with time glare which
struck their sight, and with the sulphurous smell
which extended to the most retired recesses of
their dwellings.

" Some secOntls afterwards there was another
clap of thunder, not so strong as the former. and
the cloud opening, discharged an immense (lobe
of fire, which hlling On the town of the cotvent
of :Franciscans, overturned the iron cross (xi its
summit, and set on tire the wood-work, a poltion
of which, in a state of combustion, Laving enured
the church, destroyed a part of it ; wh;le the
rest, descending by the walk, kindled the eiffe-
rent doors and windows of the convent, broke,
tore up, and divided the cells, overturned and de-
stroyed the furniture which they contained, and
excited such terror in the monks, who were in
the choir, that they fell 'to the earth, and would
perhaps have been shoaled by the sulphurous
vapour which surrounded them, had they not im-
mediately received assistance. This explosion
was followed by a heavy fall of buil, which lasted
more than a minute ; after which, the heavens
recovered their serenity."
An event, of which we gave an account from a
Pampeluna Paper, was more disastrous than we

summary of the news are, from various causes,
unavoidably omitted this day. Many articles
meant for publication are also postponed.

The arrears of Paris Papers have at length ar-
rived. From those to Thursday inclusive the
Extracts are in another column. Those of Friday
merely inform us, that the KING had so far re-
covered as to resume breakfasting with the loyal
Family, and would recommence his daily prome-
nades on Monday.

The French Funds have had a great rise : they
are 64. 45.

The new Council of State has been opened at
Berlin with grand ceremonies. Prince HARDEN-
aRRG is President ; BLUCHER, WITGENSTEIN,
and Butow, Members.

MASSENA'S funeral at Paris was attended by
TALLEYRAND and all his ancient companions in
