FKENCH PAPERS.

PARIS, OCTOBER SO.

The ceremony of laying the first stone of the pe-
destal of the equestrian statue of Henry IV. took
place yesterday, at one o'clock. The King, Mon-
sieur (Count d'4:lrtuis), the Duke and Duchess d'An-
gouleme, and the Duke and Duchess de Berry, with
their respective suites, wer.t in procession, attended
by the Ministers. the Municipal Authorities, &c. A
discharge of artillery took place on the completion of
the ceremony, and the procession returned with the
same torm.
' The proceedings between the Duchess of Monte-
hello and the iairvidual claiming the titles and pro-
perty as the eldest sin of the late Marshal, have been
suddenly terminated by the death of the latter.
The following are tresh details regarding the as-
sassination of the Dey of Algiers, o:nar Pacha, the
authenticity of which we guarantee:—The chief of
the conspiracy had framed it with such art, that its
existence was not even suspected. The Dey, sur-
prised in his palace by the revolted soldiery, was man- I
gled, and his body carried to a small cemetery, called
Onelli Dedour, in the neighbourhood of the Palace.
He was there interred without pomp, but likewise
without insult. The enemies even of Omar
admit that he combined in his character justice anJ
humanity, with courage. The only reproach direc-
ted against him by a people devoted to superstition
and fatality, is, that he was born under an unlucky
star, and ter thia eircomstance they ascribe the east-,
mines of the last war, the bombardment, and the'
plague—scourges which in a short space of time mil
ted to overtitielni Algiers: this tuppos tion was the
sole motile of bit essainaatiori. His tuzcesscr, Ale

Captain Sir Robert Gamb'er, Commander of
the English corvette Myrnitclon, who has come from
Mahon, has brought the foilowing news The
English Consul at Mahon has received from the Con-
sul of the same nation at Algiers Aicial new,: of the
death of the Dry on the 16th of September. This
event resulted from :hr entrance of a Ilanibur4h
prize into the port. The 1:n0,11 Consul dem rude'
that it should be restored, but tl:e Dey having tefu.
sed, all the Consuls thew up an energetic protest,
threatening to depart. This gave rise to a pointlar
commotion. The D,ty retired to the Palace, but was
attacked by the penple, and strangled. The new
fey was formerly a shoe maker. He skews a paci-
k disposition, and has already offered to put the
town of Buna into the hands of the English. It is
not known whether this offer w;11 lie accepted. The
town is quitt, and the Consuls ate respected."

ERFYRT, SEPTEMBEK 27.—(From a Cernvin Paptr.)
Men are employed on the fortifications of this glace,
particularly in the strengthening toe town itself, weigh
is very large in circumference, and I.as not hitherto
been very tenable. On this account the two citadels,
Petersbnrgh and Circaesburgh, held out much longer
in the late war than the- town itself. By the wo.k
already undertaken, an immense expense must be in.
curred. A great scarcity of lelyiurers is experienced.
Among those employed are many women and gills,
who are only, however, allowed to work in men's
clothes. Their appearance from their dress is na.
rurally singular. In general, Prussia is very active in
strengthening her new fortresses.
In a letter from Lyons are some twins detail, of
the escape of Cochet, one of the conspirators of
Lyons. Marshal Marmont is said to be very unpo.
pular with ultra.ltoyalists. Lately there was foind
written on his door—ll a vendu Pant pour en Louis, it
peat vendee Lyni pour an Napoleon : he sold Paris for a
Louis, and would sell Lyons for a Napoleon.

NON MAS'ENBACH.
A letter from Berlin, dated October 12, lays—.
Of the arrest, examination, and behaviour of M.
Von Massenbacn, we are always hearilig further par.
titulars, which, it they are correct, clearly prove that
he had at in view to lower both the King and the late
IQueen in the general estimation, and also that he is
connected with a party which is endeavouring to at.
lain the same object with himself. When Massen..
bath arrived here in Berlin, he demanded to be al-
lowed to walk under the lime-trees, to which the
Officer on guard consented. He inquired Aar his
friends, and sent to one of them a writing, probauly
the letter which was insetted in the Brewas Journal. •
Among those to whom blassenbach ancounced his
Memoirs, was also the Count Geeisenau. He wrote
to him—is I am no ways indifferent towards the
many favours which the goddess Fortune, since toe
battle of Jena, has slieweied dawn on you and other
Prussian officers, whom ten years ago when colonel,
and at the head of the Central Staff, I saw in the
situation of Sibaherns, If you say we have our me-
rits, we meant 'always well towards out country;
we have studied our liminess ; all this I c.n also la y
claim to; only there is this little difference between
us, that fortune Las been kind to you and unkind to
me, and brought you always into situations and cir-
cumstances, iu which with your qualifications you
wear able of yourself to rise, whereas my destruction
lets inevitable, for instead of being able to rise, I
was kept under by invincible. obstacles. Now, how.
ev,r, I am in a tituation to enter into a conflict with
my destiny fur lie and death. The Prussian State
is indebted to me in great surns, if it pays diem, and
restores to me my lioncur, which has been attacked,
I will allow myself to be appeased ; d not, 1 Will
publish new Memoirs ; and that you maybe able to
form a judgment respecting them, 1 I,,rwaril to you
the table of contents," Stc.

The first chapter related to the Queen. and began
I with 1805, and in the others were critiques of the
last campaigns. General Gne'senau, disgusted with
this letter, brought it to the King. What did the;
King say and cf.)? This Monarch, who io yet abso-
lute, declared as follows : '46 Ass Massenbach wishes
to attack me and my deceased wire personally iii his
Memoirs, as tar as 1 can discover from the contents. •
I abstain personally trona all cLitsure. This leiter
shaH be laid before the Council of State, that they
may deterru;ne v.'ictlier M. Von Massenbach by th,s
intended polnication v:nold commit a State crime,
leaving my Re; sen of the question, arid atter w ,rhie
have recourse r legal measures in the bus;ness."—
The CiIUIIC,I of St.,Ce then unanimously advisA that
the hlagistracy or Frankfort shou:d be requt ;tett to
arrest and deliver op M. Von Masst:nbaeh, that ix
might be broug'it before a Cotot Marti :1, us a Prus-
sian OaiCer, as he had formealy punliclled Scorns of

offence against which the sentence co death is pro.
