coming more favourable, and it is generally hoped
that the waters will soon fall sensibly. '

This city has been given up to-day by the Austrian
end Prussi .n Commissioners to the Commissioners of
the Grand Duke of Hesse Darmstadt. The fortress

entlederatiun, and remains, at least for the present,
garri.oned by Austrian and Prussian troops.

The numerous applicants who fail in obtaining
particular numbers, by deferring their orders in the
Lottery to a late period, and the attractions of the
resent Scheme (in which there are Two Prizes of
£&o,000, one of which must be draws the First Day,
Two Prizes of £30,000, &c. ice•), having already
created in unusual demand for Tickets and Shares,
dune persons whose intention it may be to purchase
pasucular numbers should lose so time.

FRENCH PAPERS.

PAWS, JULY ss.
General Lagers* ottnaandant of the Depart-
Meat of ttas Garde, is appointed Envoy Extraordi-
nary and Minister Plenipotentiary of the King at
Munich. This high mark of confidence proves that
the King has not forgotten the firm and courageous
conduct of the General in the Department entrusted
to his command.
The Grand Vicars of the Diocese of. Paris have
just issued an order for public prayers of forty hours,
with exposition of the Holy Sacrament, to entreat
the ALMIGHTY for weather more favourable to the
bruits of the earth.
The Duchess of Frioul, widow of General Dorm,
passed through Stnttgard on the ith instant, on her
way to Vienna. The Duchess of Istria. widow of
Marshal Besskres, had already been for some days in
the latter capital. It is believed that the object of
these Ladies is to prosecute their claims to the data-
dons which their husbands possessed in Italy. Claims
of a like sort were brought forward by several French
Generals at the time of the Congress of Vienna.
The King of Naples has prohibited the introduc-
tion of the Sicilian Journals into his continental' terri-
tories. The liberty of the press is established by the
constitution of Sicily.
The crops have the finest appearance in all parts
of the kingdom of Naples, but the roads are infested
by banditti.
The whole of the Russian corps in France, com-
manded by Count Woronzoff, are to be replaced by
other Russian troops, of which 5 or 6000 men are ex-
pected at Maubeuge by the end of August.
The Seine has risen eight feet within these few days.
The following is a copy. of a Circular from the
Director of the Customs at Grenoble, addressed to
the persons employed under him, and transmitted
by the Prefect of the here to the Mayors of the
I Communes :

le GRIMOLLE, JULY 2, 1816•

•" There exists a class of men, who, unable to find
within themselves that peace from which they have
been banished by the csimes that stain them, view
with envy the security enjoyed by the well-disposed,
which they endeavour to disturb, by circulating re-
ports tending to revolt, or to weaken the sentiment
of love and respect due by so many titles to our
beloved Monarch. There is also another class of
persons who cannot fail to incur the blame of all
good Frenchmen—l mean those men whom nothing
affects, wino allow every thing to be said or done,
though they might frequently, with a single word,
prevent the evil w:)ich their insensibility allows to be
committed. I flatter myself that the persons em-
ployed in your division are animated by more just
aad legitimate sentiments; but as there may be some
who do not feel the full extent of their duty, the In-
spectors-General have expressly charged me to direct
you to notify to all under your orders, that, as citi.
zees and persons paid by the Government, they are
bound individually, mid without distinction of rank,
to inform, not only their superiors in the Customs,
but also the local Magistrates, of every thing coming
to their knowledge which may be contrary to the
safety of the State, and to the respect due to Li:
Majesty intimate to them that their conduct should
be such as to render them a tenor to agitators ; and
that the least delay, the least hesitation on their part,
will be a great offence, which I shall be obliged to
bring under the cognizance of the law.
" Remind then, also, without ceasing, that every
officer of the Government ought to proclaim loudly
his devotion to the King, for whose person and for
his country he should be prepared to make every,
sacrifice, even that of life. The good sentiments by
which you are guided afford me a sure pledge that
you will neglect no means in your power of impress.
ing the same sentiments on the subordinate officers
of your department, and to make them conform as
punctually as promptly to the regulations herewith
pointed out, and the execution of which I place under
your responsibility. I pray you to acknowledge the
receipt of this. I have the honour to salute you, &c.
(Signed) " BAnow, Director of the Customs."

We have received letters from Barbados: of the
I Sth ult. containing some interesting details respec-
ting the war in South America. The late hour at
which they reached us prevents our entering into par-
ticulars :--In the mean time we have to state that on
both sides the war has assumed the most horrid cha-
racter—Exterssiamion seems to be the ruling aim of
both Royalists and Independents i and if the strugglel
be long continued not a White man will be left in
the Southern Continent to contend for the dominion.
With great grief we state that in the beginning of
last month several row-boats, manned by Royalists,
lauded on the little island of Pato, near the northern
Boca:, in the entrance into the Gulph of Paria, and
which belongs to England, and robbed, plundered,
and murdered a peat part of the inhabitants cm the
charge of being Patriots. Among other refinements
of the high minded, dignified, and generous Spa-
niards, in their treatment of these unfortunate people,
they put seven "of them to death by crucifixion—Yes,
crucified *rum British allied:, and by other means put
to death all that fell into their hands !

We shall give other particulars to-morrow. In
the mean time we subjoin a letter from onr country-
man, WELLwooD HYSLOP* Esq. one of the British
subjects who unfortunately fell into the hands of the
Royalists on the capture of Carthagena. This gen-
tleman is now at Kingston, Jamaica ;

" Yon base beard, no doubt, of my arrest and im-
prisonment at Cartbagena by Monica.° ; but you can
have no idea of the treatment I received. I was un-
fortunate in being too late in getting on board at the
evacuation, awl oa the 7th of Dccembor i was thrown

[tom
thelnquisition. aster* k remained. tin months
I without communication at ail, and two moo in a

miserable state of suspense. Poor Stuart was shot,
with Anguiana, Tolled°, M. Amador, Portocairero,
Ribbon, Castillo, Ayos, and Dr. Grinados, on the
24th of February : and, but for the intercession of
the Admiral, I was to have been the tenth victim on
that day. So that, instead of being tried by a mock
Court Martial, I was tried by a civil process and mi-
raculously acquitted.
" I left Carthagena on the 27th of April, at which
date Mottn.Lo had got no further than Ocana, and
though there was a general silence in town, it was
whispered that his progress was not so rapid as he
expected. St. Fe of course had not fallen. The Ge•
neral Congress was at Tunja. and since the execution
of AMADOR and RIBBON, who had surrendered under
a promised pardon, the interior spirit had resolved
to defend itselt to the last. MORALES, with two
battalions of Caraccas troops, had marched tor Ve-
nezuela, where matters were changing much against
FE.ROINAND ; su that MODULO has an more than
about 3,000 men with him.

Carthagena is garrisoned by the tegiment of
Leon, about 650 effective and non effective, (and I
may add, disaffected men, from the want of clothing
and pay,) and a battalion of Lianoes, composed of
about 550. I was a month in town before I sailed,
and I assure you those who remained, in hopes of a
better Government under Ferdinand, find themselves
miserably mistaken. I believe I may say with truth,
the spirit of the people is now more elevated than
ever it was at any previous period."

We have this day received New York and other
American Papers to the 22d June. They contain
some interesting intelligence. It appears that the
Americans have a strong squadron in the Mediterra.
neap, which will of course co operate in the destruc-
tion of the piratical establishmeuts on these shores.
The AmericAns have hitherto acted with great spirit
in that quarter.
