FRENCH PAPERS.

PARIS, JULY Is.

The state of health of her Royal Highness the
Puchess of Berry is very satisfactory. She is now
completely recovered. The funeral procession which
yesterday accompanied the precious remains of the
august Princess Louisa Isabella d'Artois, arrived at
eleven o'clock at night at St. Denis. The body of
her Royal Highness was afterwards presented in the
church, and the Abbe de Bombelles, First Almoner

of the Duchess of Berry, accompanied by the curate
of the parish of Assumption, as well as the Ladies
of the Court, and the different personages whom we
- mentioned yesterday. pronounced the following
discourse :—" In presenting here, by the express
commands of the King, the body of her Royal
Highness Mademoiselle, about to be laid in those
sacred vaults, the last abode of Kings, her ancestors,
we shall say, in the words of Ecclesiastes, She ap-
peared like the rainbow, which shines in a luminous
sky, and like the rose which appears in spring.'—
A few days have passed since the instant that this
rose svai produced amid all that is great on the earth,
and announced, by its beauty and freshness, every
thing that appeared to promise a long exeistence.—
Alas ! in less than .twelve hours she passed from a
state of the most perfect health to sufferings which
hastened her death. An end so unexpected over-
whelms with sorrow the authors of her being, and
loads as with sadness. But let us partake likewise
the consolations which Religion insrires into the be-
loved race who are penetrated with it. Mademoi-
selle, regenerated by the waters of baptism, and never
touched by any imperfection, is henceforth the Angel
of our country—an Angel who, united in Heaven
with the Saints of her family, will gain for herselt,
and draw duwn upon us, the benediction, of the
LORD !"

The body of the young Princess was opened, and
no organic defect, or accidental injury could be dis-
covered as the cattse of her malady, or the occasion
of her death.
The diligence going between Bourdeaux and Ton.
louse was stops on the night of the 9th inst. at the
descent of the Malouse, and robbed. The robbers
used great violence towards the travellers, and rifled
them of 10,000 francs. They had used thaiprecau-
tion of placing on the highway figures of straw, to
cause an illusion with regard. to their numbers. The
Police is in pursuit of the brigands.

bouquet of roses. This association of the colours of spring and
dee graces of lofaney, recalls and embodies ideas of hope. In the

Mtiddie ot the bouquet the author has placed some beautiful blue
Rowers. The tamable of this composition has the must pleasing
Iffect. These Bowers are called in German Wergiu (it should be
wares) wiria sight, forget me not."
FROM THE MAINE.
(Extracted from a Genuaa Paper.)

We look iorward to serious measures for the pur-
pose of chastising the insolence of the Barbary Pi
rates. In the discussing this subject at the Diet, a
singular light seems to have been thrown on the pro-
feedings of the English Cabinet, a light which cer-
tainly must hurt the pride of every noble Briton.
But the aid of English ships of war is not indispen-
sibly necessary to put a stop to this abuse : if the
Rulers of the Sea do not of themselves tale those
oteasures, which above all others, they seem called
on to take, and if they stand by as indiffertnt spec-
tators, and allow the burden to fall on our shoulders,
it will not certainly be found too heavy for us. To
the German federation belong Austria, Denmark,
and the Netherlands, whose united naval forces are
more than able to bid defiance to the African Pirates.

The Germans were once powerful at sea, they may

be so again, and such circumstances as the present,
are precisely those which are calculated to make them
so. For as the Plenipotentiary from the tree towns
jadicionsly observes in his proposal to the Diet, though
the German federation as such has no naval force,

neither the means nor the power will be awanting to
enable it in an efficacious manner to provide for the
safety of the German navigation. And we may add,
the German Rinse Towns alone acting under the
authority of, and supported by the federation. are in
a condition to equip a sufficiency of vessels for the
punishment of a set of thieves, who have often been
put to flight by the slender forces of the Maltese.

Accounts from Rome state, that the old Court of
Spain is very melancholy. The KING, the Qtar.s,
and the Poore of Peace, have each their separate
table. This last bas made a purchase cf the villa
Mattei, formerly occupied by the Archduchess MA-
RIANN!. The Queen of ETRURIA visits her parents
ooly from etiquette, though the loves them tenderly.
But she wishes to avoid Don Mutual. Gonov, whom
she abhors from the bottom of her heart. The young
Prince, her son, continues to jistity the most saw-
guine hopes. The King and Queen of SeAtto always
defend, against every owe, the Patna of Pum—
a' No one in Europe" they both say, “ knows better'
than we do, bis loyal and disinterested intentions. It
was not his fault, net only that Spain has not taken,
her proper station, but also that the blackest of crimes
were not avoided dujing the French Revolution.
The PRINCE of PRACE bad the idea of proposing to

Some pathetic nonsense on the life, death, and in-
terment of the little August Princess, who died of
the cl►olic at the age of forty-eight hours and a quar-
ter, we have extracted for the amusement of our
Readers in another column.

The Moniieur, under the head of Portugal, contains
the !Pal announcement of
.the news brought by the
Novo Porde from Pernambuco. It states, that on
the 20th May the Royal flag had been hoisted on the
fortresses of Alinda and Recife
-by the inhabitants of
the town, the Rebels having been put entirely to the
route in the neighbourhood of Cape St. Augustine
by the troops from Bahia : and that some of the In.
surgent Chiefs, who had fled into the interior, were
so closely pursued that there was no doubt of their
being taken.
A private Letter from Lisbon, of date the 2d in.
slant, adds, that the Insurgents fought with great
obstinacy ; that it was not till after two bloody bat-
des, which took place on the 18th and 19th of May,
that the Bahian forces, under Count D'Anoos, had
been able to push their way to Pernambuco; and
that the principal leaders had fallen sword in hand,
excepting the Chief, MARTINS* who had fled into the
woods.

While the King of PORTLOAL has been thus suc-
cessful in quelling the spirit of insurrection in his
own dominions, it would appear from some other ex-
tracts from the Official Gazette of Rio de Janeiro of
the Ist of May, that he has not seen without concern,
the very different fortune attending the efforts of hit
well beloved Brother of Spain. First, there is a let-
ter from his Minister Plenipotentiary at the United
States, to Mr. Secretary Murano, in which he corn-
plains that most of the privateers which infest the
American seas, under the Independent Flag of Buenos
Ayres, have been actually fitted out in ports of the
United States, and are the property of American Citi-
zens, who, forgetful of their national honour, are not
ashamed of becoming pirates in order to amass riches.

—lt is true, indeed, the Minister Plenipotentiary ad-
mits that none of these marauders have as yet made
capture of any Pernquese ship ; but it is a fact,
he sap, that all of them have instructions to act
against the Portuguese as well as the Spanish flag,
the moment his Majesty of Portugal may take it
into his head to make war against the Government
of Buenos Ayres; and on this conditional declara-
tion of hostility he founds the right of Portugal to
interfere in the matter, and to require that the Go-
vernment of the United States shall take such mea-
sures as may put an end to such an abuse, by its citi-
zens, of all the laws of nation,. An answer from
Mr. blostaoz then follows, inclosing the copy of a
Message which the PiILUDENT had sent to the Senate
sad House of Representatives on the subject, in con-
sequence of which, as our Readers may be already
aware, an Act of Congress did pass, on the 3d of
March last, istterdicting by the strictest provisions the
citizens of the Republic from interfering in the con-
test between Spain and its Colonies.— So tar then as
regards Spain, the representation of the Portuguese
Government appears to have had a very proper ef-
fect ; but as to Portugal herself, we should like to
know what there is unfair in the Government of
Buenos Ayres instructing its cruizers to act against
the, Portuguese whenever the Portuguese begin to act
against them ? The declaration, we think, is in every
respect most prudent, most just—and if it is to get
quit of the restraining effect it must have upon the
Portuguese Government, and enable it to lend assist-
ance to Spain in the contest with her suffering Colo-
nies, this representation has been made to the
Government of the United States, we have only to
say, that, however much we may approve of the
course that Government has taken, we trust the In-
dependent Bag may continue to By, as dreaded and
puissant as ever.
