may have created in favour of the chief of falsity, may be trine.
mkted by hereditary sucension. It belongeth to us, whether
for the purpose of rewarding great services, or tacking useful
onstdatims, or tantalising to the splendour of the theme, to
author* the chief of a fainily to change his disposable property

" Taking those dispositions into consideration, and comparing
than with those of the Constitutional Charter relative so the

PARK, SErTEMItER a.
Yesterday the King, after Mass, transacted busi-
ness aueeesstvely with the Cardinal Grand Almoner,
rind the Duke of Richelieu. President of the Council.
Monsieur, and the Princes his sons, proceeded this
morning to Vincennes, to witness the manoeuvres of
the artillery of the Royal Guard.
Among the testimonies of munificence which
Coon' Ruppin 'hewed to persons who had the honour
of being attached to his suite during his stay in Paris,
was that of a gold box, ea. jelled with his cipher in
diamonds, which he conferred upon M. Wolf, Officer
of the gendarmerie of Paris.
Prince Paul 'of Wurtembnrg has arrived in Paris.
Several journals persist in stating that Lord Gren-
ville is is Faris. What may have led them into the
error is the arrival of an English Peer, for whom
Lord Grenville is proxy in the Upper House.
Io the month of June, 1815, the General who
commaoded at Boordeaus for the Usurper, wishing
to cootroul the inhabitants of that faithful city, or-
dered the repair of the fortress Trompeter ; but to
render it formidable to the citizens, it wan necessary
to pull down a certain number of the houses which
had been built upon the ground which it formerly oc-
cupied. I'he General, therefore, gave orders to de-
molish them ; and in a few hours all the habitations
which the industry of the people had crested upon
the faith of the laws which decreed the destruction
of the 10-rt, were converted into a mass of ruins.
Their owners experienced great lcsses, not only in
their houses but in their furniture. The King, who
appears to be called by PitovioeNce to repair all ca-1
lamities which the Usurper had caused, being in-
formed by the Minister of the Interior of the da•
wage which these families had sustained by this act
of gratuitous violence, has ordered the payment of
adequate indemnities. The Prefect has received the
necessary funds, and thus a new occasion is pre.
seated to the Bourdelais of acknowledging and bles-
sing the inexhaustible bounty of the King.
On Monday the Genie du Commerce steam-boat
manoeuvred on the river. She left Port St. Nicholas
at two o'clock, with more than 4410 persons on board
and in the pinnace which accompanied her. Not-
withstanding the embarrassment of the crew, which
must have been occasioned by the presence of so
many persons, she sailed from the Pont Louis XVI.
to the Pont Royal in nineteen minutes.
The Court of Assize of PAveyron commenced
on the 113th ult. the trial of the individuals accused
of the assassination of M. Fueldes, late King's At-
torney at Rodez. Among the number of the eleven
accused are five women. I'he circumstances of the
crime are very atrocious. The number of witnesses
for the prosecutios amount to 244 and those for the
defence to 77. •
qg the 11th of Aagua the Prevetal Court if Poo

sentenced to transportation Pierre Chabane and Jean
Pierre Dalgarre, of St. Jean Pied-de Port, for being
accomplices in the offence of substituting in the night
of the Bth of May last, the tri-coloored Bag for the
white lag, on the church spire of that town.
The same Coon is engaged in prosecuting the af-
fair relative to the assassination of General Raoul.
The following are the charges resulting from the in-
terrogation of the first witnesses against the accused :
—William Dausonne knocked at the door of the Ge-
neral with the hilt of a drawn sword. He called
out with loud cries for the piece of wood with which
the door was to be forced open ; be applied it him-
self; he was recognized in the General's chamber;
he was seen striking his victim oo the bead ; it was
he who with a blow of a sabre knocked out one of
the General's eyes. Dausonne still continued, after
the deed, at the head of those monsters, boasting
publicly, whilst he brandished his reeking sword, that
gave the lass blows to the unfortunate Ramel.—
Carriere, a sj•rjeant of the line, was among the as-
sassins. He was seen going out. The sword he had
WAS bloody, • and he 'hewed it in the barrack to his
comrades, who were struck with horror. He publicly
shewed the tassels, golden trinkets, aced cravat, and
was obliged, by order of his Captain, to restore that
booty the following day.-•-Anglaret, was a princi-
pal Author of the crime. ft was he who ordered the
repast at the Minimes a few hours belore the perpe•
tration. He was with the barbarians while they
scoured the streets. He was seen in the coffee-house
where they waited for the favourable moment ; he
yelled with his atrocious associates under the General's
windows ; it was he who paid for their orgies ; he Was
able to calculate the force and extent of fury ; it was
he who spread false reports which were to increase
the number of criminals, and ensure the commission
and duration of crime. He dared to make this de-
claration to the police, whilst it was inconte►tably
proved, by the certificates of physicians, that the
sentinel had not been run through with a sword.
Bacquet called le Puyat and Guillardie, who in-
flicted wounds upon the General. They themselves
proclaimed their guilt. Guillardie :hewed a wound
in order to excite the people to revenge himself and
sacrifice Ramel.

It was at the moment when the Officers of the Na-
tional Guard tried to appease the populace, that (i 1
is confidently stated) the Swur Verdier de Port de
Guy was seen with a pistol in one hand and a swcrd
in the other, exciting the people by mad discourses.

STATE OF THE ISLANDS AND.OF TRADE.

The following is, we believe, the latest intelligence
from these Islands. The Reader will observe the
trade rising among them, with their tapaltilities, by
Means of their natural productions. Who knows
what ptice Otaheite Cotton may hereafter fetch in
the market f •

The Macquarrie left Otaheite the 24th of April,
with a cargo of between fifty and sixty tons of pork,
excellently cured. She sailed from this the 24th of
November, and reached Morea (Eimeo), one of the
Society Islands, where the Missionaries have latterly
dwelt, about the 6th of January ; opened no trade
with the natives, as there was little pork on the Island.
Sailed the 10th of February to Huabeine. and thence
to Mites, where she procured a few tons ; -went
thence to Bolabola, and received the main part of
her cargo; went dames to Mobiddee, and waded for
a few teas; from thence returned to Eimeo, and got
eleven tons of pork. The difficulty of procuring a
cargo was extremely great, owing to various causes,
one of,which was, that the women are now allowed
to eat pork as well as the men, which formerly was
not the case, and the consumption is consequently
increased, or perhaps doubled. The war that has
almost desolated the main island of Tabeite (04-
belie) in the next place produced a universal lassi-
tude with respect to a property that was almost open
to spoliation and destruction, and of course but little
stock was bred i whilst the general sate of poverty
that prevailed, scarcely left the means of supporting
themselves. Their war was conducted perfectly upon
a marauding system—burning and pillaging_, but
with the loss of a very few lives. An army of three
hundred was considered a numerous force; and al-
though they had a number of muskets, and know
klerably well bow to use them (which is at the same
time bet little creditable to those who first put such
weapons into the hands of an uncivilised people) yet
they do but little' execution with them, and if two or
three fall, the main body immediately gives way,
and flies in all directions. They have a great quan-
tity of poultry, such as cocks and hens; a few Mus-
covy ducks, and a number of goats. The Missiona-
ries, as we formerly noticed, have a few bead of
horned cattle, and a few sheep; but bogs and the
Mead-fruit constitute the chief dependence of the
Islands. The banana seems to have been indigenous
to the Islands ; the sweet tropical pntatoe. the pump.
kin and melon, are cultivated with success ; and
Captain CANINIELL has, we understand, during his
late excursion, sown among the islands the loquet,
the peach, the celery, and other garden seeds. Cot-
ton is of spontaneous growth among most, or all of
the Islands ; and its quality very 'various. The
country, which was beautiful in itself, has derived
luxuriance from its intercourse with the British na-
tion ; the aborigines, who bat a few years, or indeed
but a few months since, were cruel pagans, are now
converted to Christianity ; their idolatry is past;
their wars are at an end; and under the guidance of
their Missionary friends and brethren, they promise
to become a good and happy people. The inhabi-
tants of Bolabola made Captain CAUIPSZLL a present
of their Deity, which consisted of a log of wood from
five to six feet long, and two or three inches thick,
with a number of faces cal ved upon it. They parted
with it as a prod of their reformation, and a token
of contempt towards their former prejudices. Po-1
maree has not been reinvested with absolute power ;
the Chiefs are still afraid that he might abuse it; but
he is so much the convert to Christian princ_iples, that
the fear is supposed to be ungrounded. He resides
on a small spot a few hundred yards distant from;
.raheite; and seems in the enjoyment of perfect con-
tent of mind, distributing books to all hii country-
men that apply for them, and indiscriminately be-1
stowing hii favours upon those who had been ene-
mies, as well as upon his approved friends. In fact,
so wonderful has been the change, that it may truly
be concluded a miracle has bcca wrought upon the
minds of the people.

MOST IMPORTANT.

INSURRECTION J FRANCE.

The flames of Civil War have, we are grieved to
announce, again burst out in this ill-fated cow try.
LYONS, the second City in France, is in 4 St eof
general and as yet unque!led Insurrection. A second
10th of August has, as the a, o I;,t ernehaticaily
states, been transacted. The Parisiati Journsls ar.•
As yet silent on the subject, but the ft 'flowing private
letter received yesterday by a Gentleman in the City,
from a most respectable individual in Paris, commu-
nicates the fact. The letter which we have seen, was
evidently written in great haste, and is without a
date ; but the person tell() brought it came over iu
the usual time, and therefore it was probably written
on Monday or Tuesday last :

My Dear Sir---A most dread-
ful insurrection rages at Lyons. The
streets arc heaped with dead bodies.
A new 10th of August has been
transacted there. The news has only
just reached the Police. No parti-
culars are suffered to transpire from
that quarter; and as to the Journals,
they must be silent, or only give
what they arc ordered. MARMONT
is sent to quell it. All the troops
hitherto sent are, it is said, destroyed
to a man. 1 hope this will reach
