PARIS, MAY 1.
The Princes set out this morning for Fontainbleau
their Royal Highnesses will not return before to-
morrow. A detachment of Monsieut's Guards ac-
companied them.
The King, in his paternal solicitude to relieve the
cares of the indigent class, and to contribute to the
happiness of his subjects, and to mark his entry into
the midst of those subjects, by charitable works, has
ordered an extraordinary distribution of aid to the in.
digent of the city of Paris. The Administration, in
order to second the benevolent intentions of his Ma-
jesty, have taken measures for making distributions
in the twelve arrondissements of the city, under the
care of the Mayors and the Members of the Commit-
tee of Benevolence.

There was made yesterday and today the first dis-
tribution of the Cross of the City to the National
Guards of Paris.

The Bishop of St. Malo, advanced to the dignity
of a Peer of France, is going to Rome j. where he
will reside for two years. He will be replaced by the
Count De Blacas, who exercised the functions of Am.
b4ssador Extraordinary to his Majesty. The mission
which terminated so happy for Naples, has given
hopes that a mission of another nature will not have
less success; from which the French Church expects
so much.

M. De Murandel, Member of the Chamber of De-
puties, is named Minister Plenipotentiary to the
Court of Stuttgard.
His Majesty has permitted M. Herve de Belize,
Marquis de St. Pierre, to wear the decoration of Cham-
berlain of the Emperor of Austria.
Jaques Catheleneath a peasant of Paen.en•Mauge,
engaged in the war of La Vendee, who, by his vir-
tues and his courage, attained the rank of General-
in-Chief of the Catholic Army, died in consequence
of the wounds he received at the4iege of Nantes.—
His three brothers and four brothers-in-law, and his
parents, perished in the Vendean war.
Before the Correctiorial Police, Hennique, Paerter
an ex-soldier, Drapean artist of the Theatre of
Gaiety. and &issaut, and Benech, were found guilty
of exciting seditious cries. Hennique was sentenced
to three years imprisonment; Drapeau, to 18 months,
and to pay the expenses of the proceedings.
On Friday next, at eight o'clock in the morning,
all the pests of the Thuilleries will be occupied by
600 men of the National Guard. Each Legion fur-
nishes 50 men.

The Duke d'Angouleme is gone to visit the works
of St. Maur, which have already commenced by the
construction of magazines, and a bason destined to
receive the waters of the Maine.

Williams, the famous English deserter, who for
years had found refuge with the Sieur Barbazan, in
the Isle Jourdain, has, according to accounts from
Auch, at length been arrested. The prodigious
strength and vioi:nt character of this man had ren-
demi him the terror of all the peasants and NeTlVAntc
ha she ‘4IIWII. Dartazan was the only person who
could controtal him. His terrible strength was mostly
displayed when be teas intoxicated. Nothing could
resist his efforts. He then twisted bars of iron as if
they were frail twigs; with a blow of his fist he broke
through partitions; and with no other help than his
fingers, tore out the largest nails. In one of his fits,
he one clay took up a servant by the middle of the
body, ran with him to the distance of 50 paces, and
threw him over a wall 20 feet high, on the other side
of which a small river flowed. Happily some trees
broke the fall of the new Lycas, who got off with no
other harm than a good fright. The Prefect has, on
the application of the Mayor, ordered him to be con-
, ducted from brigade to brigade, until he be lodged
' in Toulon.

The 5 per cents. left off yesterday at 27f. 20c.—
Bank Actions, at £lO6O.
