FRENCII PAPERS.
PAttis, JULY Is. r
We have received a letter from Lyons, dated
15th, which contains the following details:
" General Moon Duvernet has been brought
f ire t9e Prevotal Court. The first sitting took place
this morning, and is not yet over. All the entrances
to the Palace of Justice are guarded by horse aid
foot, and no persons are admitted except by cards
delivered for that purpose. As yet the Court has
been. occupied only with reading the documents of
the process. M. Mirnas, a - distinguished Advocate
of the Lyons flap, and advantageously known for
his political opiutons, is Counsel fur the prisoner".
Yesterday the Court of Cessation heard die appeal
of the authors,. printers, and publishers of The Naia
Triedsre, against the jndgnsent of ate Coat of As.
sine, given on the l nth of June, which condemned
them to transportation. liouquot had withdrawn his
appeal.
M. Ponitier supported the eight reasons proposed
for annulling the sentence by Dabenf. Dufey, Zeno.
Bits and Laurent Beaupre. M. Gerand Duplessis,
one of the Advocates General, refuted these reascns
in a summary manner, and moved the rejection of
the appeal. The Court decided that the process had
toren regularly instituted, and therefore rejected the
nrpeal.
On leaving Lyons, the Duke of Angonleme an-
nounced that he would return on the 24th to that
city, whence he will go to Vitry. His Royal ifigh-
nes. will 'afterwards visit the Eastern Department,
• and probably will not return to Paris until the fete of
St. Louis.
A letter from Liege, dated July S, says---“A large
cloud whit!, hovered yesterday over this town, and
presented the view of an enormous mass in the fortes
of a mountain, did not fail to excite the curiosity, of
many persons, and to alarm all our old women, who
still expect a shower of fire, and the end of the world
On the 18th instant !"
An Envoy from the Pope is very shortly expected
at Paris, to treat of the affairs relative to the Clergy
of France. It is further added, that the Cardinal
Pa= will be entrusted with this important mission.
• The Seine has fallen since yesterday, but the hurt-
ton is yet covered with clouds.
COUttFRAY,JULY in.
An inhabitant of this town, who arrived this morn-
ing from Ghent, witnessed a scene there which de-
serves to be known :—Yesterday, about nine in the
evening, the trumpets of a regiment of cavalry which
bad arrived during the day sounded a retreat, as is
usual at the different quarters. The weather was
loomy, the thunder roared, and flashes of lightning
furrowed the dark clouds accumulated over the town,
...Suddenly cries, groans, tears, lamentations, were
heard on every side. Three-fourths of the inhabi-
tants rushed fent) from their houses, and threw them-
Selves on their knees in the streets and public places.
It was not witliGueinfinite trouble that the cause of
this extraordiaory terror was discovered. The pod
41kr of Ghent, persuaded that the end of the world
NM at hand, believed they had heard the Smeutle
rrerapd, which. accerdieg to Revelations, chap. x. v. 7.
is to announce the last jr,./zetent.
- Our townsman somewhat (piked thevn by remark-
ing that as the ceremony they had anticipated was to
be accomFanied with great splendour, there was
every reason to supp,se that it would take place in
the day-time, ar.d in very fine weather.; and the rain
which fell in torrents this morning bas complatly
tranquillized them.

We have received the Paris Papers of Saturday.
They contain some intelligence of painful interest
respecting the weather, which has been ruinous to the
agriculturist throughout the Continent.
By the accounts in these Papers from the Turkish
shores of the Mediterranean, it cannot be doubted
that scenes of warfare and c nfthion may be ex-
pected farthwith in that quarter. The Turkish dy.
nasty has long been tottering to its base; and now
that the large revenues derived by it from the plates
on thelAfrican coml, are likely to be withdrawn, a
dying effort may be expected oa the part of the
Turks; to recover their ascendancy in eastern Europe.
They have too many powerful neighbours however,
to en ke them even to hope.
An article from Turin states, that of all men the
Jews hive least reason to complain of their present

.eonclition. They are accused of having purchased
the finest Castles and Estates in Italy from the Re.
volutionary Governments, and of not having Even
paid up the Instalments.

cu rates% EXTRAORDINARY Or SATURDAY MORNING.
We are assured that a new Royal Ordounance has
been prepared on the service of the National Guard,
mil its organisation; that the Officers of all ranks
are named for fire years, like the Mayors, and various
Municipal. Functionaries; that the Inspectors shall
inspect the whole National Guards of their respective
departments, but in no case cars command any but
that of the arrondissement of the chief town; that
the service shall always be directed by the Adminis-
trative Authority, and that the Inspectors shall pre-
mot ao his Royal Highness Monsieur, through the
intermedience of the Prefect and Ministers of the In.
tenor,' the candidates for the places of Officers, which
his Royal Highness shall himself pram to the no-
mination of the King.
