Two Couriers,
arrives! -yesterday bringing
death the King 9f Sardinia (Victor Emmanuel.)
This Prince was born in 1759, and bore the title of
Dub of Aosta till 1802, at which period his brother,
Charles Emmanuel, abdicated the Crown in his favour.
It was in the person of Victor Emmanuel therefore that
the restoration took place. in 1814. 'This Monarch
peaerably enjoyed the affections of his people, when the
Inedmontese rebellion occurred; determined to yield no
point to the Inssrgents, he preferred abdicating, and
transferred all fights to his brother, the-reigning King,
les Felix.

Chan._ _
Victor gistinamiel had two sisters, who married th •
august brothers of Louis XVL and one of whom gave
birth to the Puke of Angouleme. This Monarch has
left fourPriricesseir, sprung from his marriage with an'
Archduchess of Austria. The second has married the'
Infant Don Louis of Bourbon, hereditary Prince of
Lucca. The Prince of Carignan, having been informed
of-the death of his Majesty, could •ne< go yesterday to
brilliant fete whichwas given in his honour by one of
the Gonads of the army of Spain, at which a great
number of Gewsrals below&ng to that army were present.

, This morning we received the French Papers of
Thursday, with the Journal des Debuts and Monitenr
of S.ttueday ; the latter by Express. We have also re-
ceiver] a private letter from a Correspondent in Paris,
dated Friday evening, which states the important fact.
that 'General Boynxiottr, the Commander-in-Chief of
the Army of Occupation in Spain, finds his force
inadequate to the maintenance.of tranquillity, and•
that he has demanded very large reinforcements.—
The accounts from Bayonne, which have reached us
to the 11th inst. render such a requisition probable.
They give a melancholy picture .pf the situation of

Nothing can be more dreadful. than the state of
things in that unhappy country. Anarchy, all through
the province% was at its height ; robberies were con-
stantly perpetrated in the capital; the fanatics were
ceaseless in the work of murder and pillage in the pro,
vinces. • The French army forms the only check on ge-

neral insurrection, and its amount is again increasing:
'several regiments belonging to the reserve were again
-tittering Spain from the Ea,tern Pyrenneet;.
Our Readers need not to be told how frequently, and
how decisively we asserted, that all the rumours of war
circulated by the Courier, were without the slightest
• foundation—that the sailing of a few troops from Brest
was only fur the purpose of reinforcing the French
West India-ColOnies; and that the pretended armament
fitting out at that port, so seriously dwelt upon by the
Courier, was a all leather and prunella." and that Por-
tugal, though by no means so crippled as Spain, was
not in a condition to reconquer Brazil. The French

Papers .received to-day, as well as the Quotidienue,
to which we alluded on Friday, fully confirm the
vices we took of the subject: The Journal des
Debuts of Saturday notices the ridiculous statement in
some of the London Journals • about Portugal sending
Count PALJIk:LIA to the Courts of London and Paris, to
ask assistance to reconquer her late Colonies, and chews
what feeble means she possesses to reduce them herself.
The whole naval armament of Portugal consists of a
ship of 80 guns, three higates, four corvettes, and five
sloops Of war.

The same Journal, and the Courier Francais of Fri-
day, contain similar refutations to those we had pre-
viously given of the statements of the courier. It
would appear, by the article in the latter Journal, that
if France had really any designs on South America,
h.r motions were pretty closely watched.
The Monileur of Saturday copies the articles from
the Journal des Dehats of the preceding day, in refuta-
tion of the rumours of the Courier. The same Journal

states that the French Court would go into mourning
on Saturday la3t; for two months, on account of the:death
of the King of SARDINIA. The following are extracts :

PRIVATE LETTRIL

" I hasten to acquaint you that this instant I met a

of Bavaria. This I'►incess has received a very religious
education; the King. has allowed her the public exer-

Accounts from Warsaw of the 26th ult. state, whlt
at least may be considered as a very remarkable, if not
an important circumstance. It is, that the Jewish
Rabbis ind'Elders have met in a General Assembly at
Platskow, and have decided that the celebration of the
Sabbath shall be changed to the Sanday.
While the Jeiva in Poland are adopting a regulation
of great convenience, and one that may be considered
as an 'indication of liberality, without admitting it as
any sacrilice of regions priaciple, the Governments.
of Poland and Prussia are renewing the odious imposi-
tions on this persecuted race: It is stated in one of the,
Brussels Papers received this Morning, that the Prussian.
Callinet has lately decided, that all Polish Jews, on ar-
riving in the Prussian dominions, shall again be liable
toper tbe.taa calledjew; toll. This Goverament.had-
airolished the tar 161 foreign Jews, and justly called
on th! neighbouring Governinents to relieve all Prussian
Jews from it. , But the.. Polish Goveinrnent having
lately decreed that all foreign Jews who shall stay
above three days in Poland shall pay the tax, and the
remonstrances of the Court of. Berlin hiving proved
fruitless, it has been obliged to re-establish the toll .ortj
Polish Jews who shall come i,nto the Prussian dominions!
