We t,ceived' yesterday the Palk Papers of
Thursday last, and this morning those of Friday.
In ',he Chamber of Deputies, on Wednesday,
the discussion was resumed on the Projet respect-
ing the Monopoly of Tobacco, and closed, with
the exception of the r..ply of the Reporter, who
was to be heard on Saturday. The Minister of
Finance presented a Projet for extending the Law
of Transit to Alsace, and making Strasburg a
place of entrepAt, which was ordered to be refer-
red to the Bureaux. The Chamber adjourned till

Saturday.
There is nothing in any of these Journals
either to confirm or contradict the report of the
conspiracy to poison the Emperor of AUSTRIA.
The Journal des Debuts, indeed, contains the fol-
lowing paragraph, but it leaves the matter nearly
stillest' it was :--

" A Journal of yesterday announced an at-
tempt to poison the Emperor of AUSTRIA at
Mantua, which is attributed to the sect of Car-
bonari ; and it is added that the cormnision of
the crime was only prevented by a discovetly made
half an hour before it was to have been carried
into effect. The profound silence of the Italian
Journals is no proof of the falsehood of this
statement, but our private correspondence also* is
equally silent respecting such an' event. We
should not, however, be surprised to find it con-
firmed : it is in the spirit of the pretended Re-
generators of Europe, who in Belgium pro-
jected the compelling Sovereigns to sign declara-
tions by force, and who in Germany pbinard
writers when they venture to unmask the loyal,
intentions of this party. But let us still hope
that humanity may not have to deplore this ad-
ditional crime."

Flom B Ircelona it is stated, that the trial of
ti.e persons accused of being accomplices with
Generals LAscy and MILANs bad terminated,
and that several had been condemned to death.

Ths following are extract• froth the Friday's

Jolortuils :--

" The promenade of Longebamps was yester-
day and the diy precedin4 favoured by line wea-
ther. The tnimber of equipages and promenaders
were immense. The carriage of the Engli,ll Am-
bassador was drawn by six dappled greys of the
greatest beauty. The dresses of the ladies were
terry splendid.

" It i< understood that the Government intends
to convoke the Electoral colleges immediately
after the expiration pf the present Sessiou,in order
that the Chamber may assemble for the ceremony
of the Coronation, and that it may be occupied
with the Budget of the following year, so that the
public set vice may not suffer by the rejection of
the law respecting the financial year.
The K;nt,_, and Queen of the Netherlands leave
Brussels tire Gth icst. for the Hague.
We learn from Saxony, that caravans were
continually passing with German families proceed-
ing to Poland. The Polish Government affords
them many facilities for establishing themselves.

fered a composition to his creditors, is officially
contradicted in tire Diario Romano.

" PADERSWIN, MAIIOII 29.7— The celebrated de-
fender of the Liberty of the Press, Mallinkrodt,
who was condeame,l the CriMinal Tribunal of
Cleves to two months' irzpriscnment, for• having
stated that the military exercises disturbed the
piety of the faithful .assembled it the Churches,
has by en absedved by the Superior Court of Mag-
deburg, which has annulled the sentence of the
Tribunal of Cleves. Me friends of the Liberty
of the Ness in Gertratly rejoice so much the
movc ct this event, as an express orricr of his Ma-
jesty's Cabinet ht declared, that no public
writer shall be punishable for the discussion of
what relates to abuses in the Administration.
Thus the Liberty of the Press is considered to
be legally recognized in the Prussian States.

[Further Extracts from the Boston Papers.]

A Letter has been received from an Officer of
the frigate Macedonian, Captain I)owNes, dated
at Sea, Dec. 13, ISIS, in Lat. 1. N. Long, 24.
'W. then out 33 days front Norfolk. The Letter
states that nothing extraordinary had occurred on
board, except the death of Midshipman PETER
B. RANDOLPH., of Virginia, of typhos fever, after
three days' illness; and the tall from the fore-top-
gallant-yard of ALEXANDER TuENEE, a seaman,
who sunk before the boat sent to save him
could reach him—That the ship had not spoken
any American vessel except the SacliNi, of Phila-
delphia, bound to Rio Janeiro, out -1)5 days—That
the first port the -illoc:?thnzion was expected to
touch at was Valparaiso—That she sails very fast,
and is touch easifr than whvn 'silt left Boston—
That the Officers and crew were very healthy, al-
though on an allowance for water, which, when
drawn by the Officers, was lucked up in their
chests, and could be exchanged for the same quan-
tity of rum.

MORES PIRACY.—The brig General
,Victoria,
comminded by JOHN DIEVERS, a Frenchman, is
now cruizing in the West India seas, sparing no
colours, and plundering whatever he pleases. In
three months he has overhaWled 52 American,
French, Eternal., English, Dutch, Danish, Swe-
dish, and Russian vessels, and plundered the
whole, " more or less." She carries 2 guns, has
a complement of 70 men, is under the Mexican
Flag, and is probably owned at New Orleans.

The assassination of KOTZEBUE has naturally
excited consternation and alarm all over the Con-
'intuit, and though the intention of puisonink the
Emperor Of AUSTRIA has not yet been satisfactorily
demonstrated, yet there are strong presumptions
of the' reality of this iniquitous design. In fact,
all kinds of• atrocities are to be considered as the
result of the French Revolution, which has tended
in a great degree to unhinge the minds of the

lower orders of people in most countries. It has
often been observed, that its evils have hitherto
been only temporary, and, indeed, have hardly
begun. Its effects may be expected to extend to
the latest posterity, by exciting a bad ambition
and other viie passions among the multitude,
and stimulating artful men to avail thetnselvei
of such feelings. Our venerable Monarch is well
known to have said many years ago, reflecting
on the nature and progress of that detestable Re-
volution, that he thought in a hundred years there
would not be a King in Europe. For our part,
we confidently believe, that if Popery once more
obtains the ascendant in this' Country, that not
only here, but in every other, there Will soon be
en end to all Protestant, Sovereigns. Jacobini-
cal Politics on the one hand, and Popish Artifice
on the other, will in that case bring on mankind
all the horrors that can involve soaiety in a mili-
tary despotism, or a bigotted Priestcraft.

THE DUKE OF YORK'S COUNCIL.-011 Satur-
day, at twelve o'clock, the Duke ot YORK held a
Council at York-house .upon the state of the
KING, which was attended by the Archbishop of
Canterbury, the Archbishop of York, the Bishop

Windsor. file Council remained in ddiberation
near an hour. In,the afternoon the Duke ot YORK

MR. KEAN..--It is reported that such enormous
offers have been made to this Performer front
America, that he is not likely to return to this
Metropolis till atter he bas had a Trans-Atlantic
Trip.

Vampyre Critic of R Morning Paper con-
tinues his endeavours to suck away all the merits
of Mr. BucKE's Tragedy, and to excite H faction
against it, in the Theatre. What a pity it is that
the Author of this Tragedy is not so favoured .by
Fortune as to admit of bleeding to allay the thirst
of this Vanipyre Critic.

The LORD CHANCELLOR
,and Count MUNSTER
bad audiences of the PRINCE REGENT yesterday at
Carltori•bouse.

Mr. STOKOE, Surgeon of the- Conqneror, and
Lady medical attendant on BUONAPIETE, whose
arrival was noticed in our last paper, returned
fruln town yesterday, to take his passage in the
Abundance, he being ordered to return to St.
Helena, and resume his duties there. This being
the result of his examination by Ministers, it is
inferred that his conduct has been fully approved
of. The Abundance is expected to sail on Wed-
nesday next.—(Hampshire Telegraph, Saturday.)
The lst Battalion 60th Regiment, 500 men,
from the Cape of Good Hope, lauded on Thurs-
day, and marched to Fort Cumberland, to be dis-
banded. We understand the detention of these
men on board the transports, so long after their
arrival, has arisen out of the, peculiar character
of their case. They ate principally military of-
fenders, who, under transmuted sentences, were'
cent abroad to serve there during the period of
their natural ; but their battalion coming
within the scale of reduction tri the Peace Esta-
bli•hment, r,t.w they, have returned home for that
purpose it 1019 become a qtystion how they
(ight to be finally „disposed of. About 70 of
them, we understand, have heretofore forfeited
their lives to the lawS of their country. We un-
derstand it has been determined. that all the men
,of the battalion destined to serve-for life shall he
tuned over to the 2d and 3d battalions of the
regiinent.---(Portsmouth Paper.)
Saturday afternoon, the Officers and men belong-
ing to the Royal Sovereign yaeltt, went on board
her at Deptford, and a supply of provisions was
put on board. She was expected to drop down
the river yesterday, to proceed to Calais, to be in
readiness to bring the Duke and thichess of KENT
to England, with their suites, who are expected
in-a week.or ten days. •
The Erne, Captain SCESVEN, went out of
Plymouth harbour on Thursday, fitted for the
coast of Africa, where an. additional force is to
be kept for the suppression of the vile traffic in
slaves. The Pheasant and Morgiana go with
the Erne.

unmarried, is succeeded in his honours and estates
by his only surviving; brot her, John Evelyn Pierre-
pont, now Baron Dormer, who mulled Lady

Marquess of Lnthiau.
AWFUL AND SINGULAR DEATH.--On yester-
day se'nnight, Mr. W. CHICK.L.EY, carpenter, 'of
the Spey, attended at Kingston Church to be
married, and the religions lite having been com-
pleted by his signing the church book, in the yes-
try-room, he was in the act of putting his hand
into his pocket, to pay the clerk the usual fees,
when he was seized with apoplexy, sunk down,
and shortly afterwards expired. He was in the
44th year of his age. He had been married
twice before.

As Major FORREST and Colonel SPEED were
passing through Egham yesterday se'nnight, on
their way to London, in a tandem, the horses
took fright at a man with a basket on his head,
and ran toricrusly, when coming contact with a
waggon, the chaise was overturned, and the gen-
tlemen thrown out. Major PorutasT received a
violent contusion on his head, and lies without
hopes of recovery ; Colonel SPEND is very much
untitled, but not dangeronsly hurt.
