felt congratulations on this day.—While we express our feelings
on this happy occasion, we find ourselves imperiously called upon
by every sentiment which cast animate a grateful people, to state
to your Majesty some general reasons, from the contemplation of
whit not only our joy is derived, but also the veneration and
attachment we are proud to declare, we entertain for your royal
and august person. In doing this, we look back to the auspicious
day when your Majesty's illustrious family was placed on the,
throne of this kingdom, which event we consider as the primary
source that has progressively advanced this country to the distin-
guished situation in which it now stands; whether we view it In
respect to its unexampled prosperity, its unfaded glory, or its
pre-eminent and justly envied liberty.
But to the present generation it was reserved to behold your
Majesty reigning over these dominions for nearly half a century,
in times of portentous and unexampled difficulty, during which we
have seen events arise, of such extraordinary and unprecedented
a nature; as would, but for the unshaken firmness and manly de-
termination of your Majesty, inevitably have terminated in the
most distressing and fatal consequences. To the upright and ju-
dicious exercise of these qualities by your Majesty, we owe the
preservation of our holy religion, and of our glorious constitu-
tion, as by law established, and as handed down to us by our
ancestors.
In the many trials of danger to which your Majesty's person
and government have been exposed, amidst the general wreck of
Rations, and the overthrow of nearly every ether civilised esta-
blishment in Europe, we have beheld your Mesty's virtues and
courage surmount every difficulty; and, guided by them, we have
happily been led from dismay and apprehension, to confidence and
internal tranquillity.
But of all the qualities that adorn your Majesty, or endear you
most to us, whether we view you in the relations of private life,
or in the high situation of King and Father to us all, there is none
for which you are more conspicuous, or more gratified in the ex-
ercise of, than in shewing Mercy tothe miserable and unfortunate
offenders against the laws of their country. In return for this
and the other inestimable blessings we enjoy under your Majesty's
mild and just government, we will not cease to pray that your
Majesty may live to enjoy many—many returns of this day.—
And when it may please the Almighty Disposer of all events to
call you to a better kingdom,that you may there meet the reward
due to your exemplary virtues; and that the successor to your
Majesty may follow your good sued glorious example, and like
-‘a be blest with loyal, brave, and graceful subjects.

BUTLER'S celebrated RESTORATIVE TOOTH POWDER.
BEAUTY of Countenance, and regularity of Fea-
t tures, are allowed to distinguish the British Fair; but the
Proprietor of BUTLER's TOOTH POWDER would beg heave
to remind his Country-woven that the lustre of their Charms
loses half its influence where the Teeth are discoloured, or show
a rotten and unhealthy appearance—this is the more inexcusable,
as the present preparation affords tke infallibte means of removing
every blemish of the enamel, and is safe in its application, being
composed of Vegetables.
It is recommended to the attention of all ranks, as clearing
away every imperfdction, either in the colour, or the decay of the
enahiel of the Teeth, as rendering the Breath sweet and delecta
bit, and making the Gntns of their proper shape and vermillion
hut; and a certain preventive against the Tooth-ache. No coin-
poF of this kind ever brought forward to public notice, has
met sw•li universal approbation ; and the Proprietor has to boast
that it is • daily use of Royalty itself.

PARIS, OCTOBER cl. .
The Court M trtial at Rochefort met for the first

fort.
On the Bth the pleadings, and all the formalities
prescribed by the Imperial Decree of the 22d of July,
1806, Art. 70. being gone through, the President in-
quired whether the Members of the Court wished to
make any observations? They unanimously answered
in the negative ; upon which, the spectators and the
Advocate for the prisoners withdrew, at the request
of the President, and the prisoners were conveyed
back to the place from which they had been brought.
JUDGMENT.—The Court, after deliberating with
closed doors, and the votes being collected according
to Art. 68, section 4, title 3, of the above-mentioned
decree, in presence of the General Rapporteur, una-
nimously declared, that the proceedings were regu-
larly conducted, and found by a majority of eight
voices to one, that the prisoner, Nicholas Clement
de la Ronciere, was not guilty of the loss of the
ship Tonnere, which he commanded in the action of
the 12th of April last. They therefore acquitted
him of the charge brought against him, and ordered
his sword to be restored to him by the President.
With respect to Jean Baptiste Lafon, the Court, by
a majority of five voices to four, found him guilty of
having, in a cowardly manner, abandoned the Cal-
cutta, in the presence of the enemy, on the 12th of
April. They, therefore, adjudged him to suffer death
pursuant to Art. 35, title 2d of the Marine Penal
Code, of the 22c1 August, 1790, which was read by
the President.
With regard to Guillaume Marcelin Proteau, the
Court unanimously acquitted him of the charge
brought against him ; but by a majority of five
voices to four, sentenced him to three months con-
finement in his own chamber, for having set fire to
the Indienne with too much precipitation, and with,.
out previously advising the Admiral ; and this in
pursuance of the law of the 20th September, 17%,
authorising recourse to the Military Code, with re-
gard to offetces not provided for in the Marine Code.
—The Court ordered Captain Proteau's sword to be
restored.
As to the prisoner, Charles Nicolas Lacaille, the
Court having taken into consideration and found by
a majority of six voices to three, that he did not lose
the 'rourville, which he commanded ; that he spoa-
