FRENCH P4IERB. ,

PARIS, AUGUST N.

- -
A-Belgian Journal gives the following details re.
specting the quarrel which took place at Men,z,
between the Austrian and Prussian troops ingarrison
in that city :
" Yesterday, August 11, at six in the evening, while the inha-
bitants, taking advantage of an interval of fine weather, were
scattered about in the promenade, gardens, and other public
'place., eajoying the pleasures of the season, the drums were very
unexpect ell), heard beating the general&
"The Austrians after several discharges, appeared on the side
of the French gate, situated in the upper part of the town, and
took possession of the Prussian post, which had bees established
there. The Prussian., on their part, brought op two pieces of
cannon; but after receiving several rounds of musketry, they
retired to rich. cleaners.
" Un this occa,loo both Governors skewed much energy in
stoyping the disorder. Their efforts were at first useless, as the
furious soldiers, disregarding the authority of their Commanders,
only attacked each other with the greater fury. Their activity'
and perseverance were, however, at length crowned with soli.,
ern. Followed by their staffs and a squadron of cavalry, th•Y
succeeded in rallying their troops.
" In the quarter of the town where this affair took place, the
boners are riddled with shot. Fifteen balls were found in one
apartment in the house of the curate of the parish.
- The terror of the inhabitants, who ran in every direction to
call bone the members of their respective families, may well be
imegined. Doors, windows, shops, were all in a moment barri-
cadoed. 1 cannot tell you how this dispute commenced, nor what
Is the number of the killed and stecuadtd."
The following is the article for which the Quill.
&emu, Paris Paper, was suppressed for one days
" EXTRACT or A PRIVATR LETTER.

et BASLE, ADOUST 16.—Several petty States have
given importance to the preachings of Madame de
Krudener, by prohibiting them, and by employing
the public force to disperse the numerous auditors
attract?d by them. Some German Papers have not
failed to make of them an object of political conjec-
tures : they have even :a:if, in po'sitive terms, that
Madame de Krudener was the missionary of a poli.
tical pact. Nothing is more false. This Lady has
often been, placed in the highest circles, so as to be
able to satisfy the most exalted ambition, if she had
possessed it. But, sincerely devoted to her pious
meditations, she has never endeavonred to exercise
"any iiifluence ewer the Counsels of Monarchs, who,
charmed by her wit, delighted in frequenting her
assemblies, It cannot be denied that, without think-
ing of it, she gave rise t, that celebrated compact
called the Christian and Fraternal Alliance, in which all
the Kings in Europe have become contracting parties.
sg It was not by flattering Sovereigns—it was, on
the contrary, by addressing to them the severest ser-
mons that she gave the first idea of that Holy Al.
liance. She never ceased to represent the osurpation
and victories of Bonaparte as a punishment which
PROVIDENCE inflicted upon the ancient dynasties of
Europe, for having suffered themselves to be drawn
into wars of ambition and politics. Madame Kru-
dirtier has again exercised her moral and religious in-
fluence in an astonishing manner upon tl:e personal
affections of a great Sovereign. This Prince, who in
many respects resembles Henry IV. and Louis XIV.
had found a Gabrielle, a Lavalliere : Madame de
Krudener, by her sermons, was able to extinguish in
two hearts the warmest passion, and, more extraor-
dinary still, to replace love by pure and virtuous
friendship. After this moral miracle, it would not
be difficult for Madame Krudener to create herself an
empire in a powerful Court : but she preferred tra-
versing in bad weather, in rainy seasons, the moun-
tains of Switzerland and Suabia, preaching evange-
lical morality to a crowd of persons whom curiosity
had made her followers, but who do not by any means
form a new sect."
The following private letter from Paris furnishes
rime particulars of what occurred on, Sunday the
2/th, being the day of the fete of St. Louis :
" The illuminations on Sunday evening were very
general ; the public buildings were particularly bril-
-1 ant; but amongst the private hotels, that of the
Prince of Benevento was most conspicuous. The
Champ de Mars and Bois de Boulogne were crowded
all day with the lower orders, as every species of
public amusement was given gratis. Madame Blan-
chard ascended at six o'clock in a balloon, and at
nine some very brilliant fire-works were displayed.—
The streets at night were crowded, and with the ex-
ception of some insulting observations directed against
the English from the military who were parading in
'parties, I saw no symptoms of disorder, but every
expression of attachment to the BourborA.
" A disgraceful scene occurred, however, at the
entrance-gates of the Thuilliries. Cards bad been
issued by order of the King to admit a certain num-
ber of persons to the Palace on Sunday, to age his
Majesty and the Royal Family at dinner; and the
greater proportion of these tickets had been issued to
strangers. Whether this bad incensed the military
and the police, I know not, but about 200 English,
furnished with cards, were kept waiting in the open
air opposite the iron gate from five until seven o'clock,
exposed .to continual insults from the military and
police agents. Many ladies bad their clothes torn
from their backs, and lost their jewels; several were
seriously hurt ; at seven the iron gate was opened to
admit them all into the lower court, but it was merely
to tell them'they were toolate, as the King had risen
from table, so that they might all return home. I
attribute this to a secret agency that appears at Wed
to thwart the good wishes of the 'Unkind to throw

discredit upon whatever be does. Ficquet. guards
were marched through the middle of the crowd of
persons waiting fur admission; and all the military
who had tlcitets'were admitted with their ladies, while
others. who were waiting for the same object, remon-
strated in vain." •

We have this day continued our extracts from the
Paris Papers. The French Funds have fallen to
57f. sc. and private letters state that they are ex-
pected to be lower, owing to a notion entertained by
many of the instability of the present politics of Eu-
rope. But whatever effect this feeling may have,
another cause may be named which must contribute
to lower the French Funds—the constant formation
of new quantities of Stock for the purpose of paying
the contributions to the Allies ; fur an increase of the
quantity of any commodity brought to market always
tends to lower the price. This natural consequence,
enhances the interest paid for money by Governments
which are obliged tin borrow when Stocks are low :
this is the case with France at present. But the in-
crease of the quantity always produces another effect;
it tends to keep . the price low so long as the market
remains overloaded : this is the case with England—'
and yet we find many astonished, or affecting to
be so, that our Stocks do not, now that we are at
peace, attain the prices which they maintained before
the war, when the quantity at market bore bat a
small proportion to the amount that has since been
crested.

One of the French Journals quotes from a Belgian
Journal a most formidable account of the late quarrel
at Mentz between the Austrian and Prussian soldiers
in garrison there; but it appears by Hamburgh
Pipers received ibis morning, that the affair has been
much magnified—only three people were hurt.

Two Hamburgh Mails arrived this morning. The
fallowing are extracts :

FROM SWArnA AUGUST 6.
The King of Bavaria was also invited• to the inter.
view at Carlsrnhe, but did not come, and merely
sent an apology by his Aide•de-Camp, Count Wnr.
tenberg-Roth. That his Majesty on his return had
a conference with the King of Wurtembnrg has been
mentioned before. That these conferences relate to
the affairs of the Diet can hardlj be doubted. Ac-
tual negotiations, however, have not been set on foot,
neither bas any person yet appeared on the part of
the Grand Duchy of Hesse.
It is affirmed that the ex• Princess Hortensia, wife
of Louis Bonaparte, has obtained permission of the
King of Bavaria to exchange her abode at Cortnitz
for Munich.

ST. PETERSBUROH, JULY 3/.
The new Exchange was opened on the 27th with
very great solemnity. After the ceremony of the
consecration was performed by the Archbishop Am-
hrosius, a most splendid entertainment was given, at
which the Emperor, the Empresses Elisabeth and
Maria, the Grand Dukes Constantine and Michael,
the Grand Duchess Maria, and the Hereditary Prince
of Satre Weimar, were present, with a great number
of persons of distinction.
On the 28th, the ship Suwarrow, belonging to the
Russian Ametiean Company, happily arrived at
Cronstadt, after having spent two years, nine months,
and seven days, on its voyage to Kodiak and back to
several ports. It has a very rich cargo. It brings
also from Peru, some lamas and other animals, for
the Imperial menagerie. The Company will shortly
dispatch two other ships, under the command of
Captain Hagerneister, of the Imperial Navy (who,
has alreaJy performed the voyage) to the colonies on
the north-west coast of America.

the Roth of July at Riga, and having reviewed on

able conduct in the Maritime War of 1778, as for
the advantages which the Depot of Charts of the
French Marine has derived from the Chart published
by the Admiral.

VIENNA, AUGUST to.
The widows of Marshals Bessieres add Durex are
still here, but it seems very unlikely that they will
attain' the object of their journey, which is stated to
relate to claims in the Monte NApoleone, on account
of former dotations. Some French officers have been
arrested in Austria, who spread the most strange
reports.
WARSAW, AUGUST S.
