M. Leon Lardiere, surgeon of the first class of ma-
vine at Roscoff, attests, that in attending seamen,
wounded in engagements with the English, he has
extracted a number of jagged bullets (idles michiew).
It is now a ye4r since he first perceived the employ-
ment of elese bullets by our enemies. He has ascer-
tained the same fact in the most authentic manner, in
consequence of two successive combats sustained in
the most brilliant manner, on the. 29th of August,,
by Captain Ballidard, against an English cutter and
lugger. The brave Captain, at the close of these
two actions, entered Roscoff ; and having landed six
wounded seamen, aiming a number of balls extracted
from these there were found three made jagged, with
a care which proved a ferocious intention of doing in—
jury, by adding to the ordinary and ;vowed means
of destruction employed in war.
M. Leon Lardiere speaks with the warmth of a
wan of honour against this barbarous process, which
civilization reprobates, and which doubtless the Eng-
lish Government would itself disavow and repress. if
such facts came to its knowledge. Wounds occa-
sioned by these jagged bullets are with reason consi-
dered as more dangerous than others, in consequence
of the increased and more inflammatory laceration
occasioned by the asperities made in such bullets.

SEPT. 20.—Omthe 14th inst. the ci-devant Queen

ing the first five years only in the extinction of the
paper-money. During the last ten years, nine tenths

ing tenth only shall be employed in diminishing the
mass of the debts of the State.

The tax upon moveable property is to be paid in

kierchants not belonging to corporations are except-
ed ; they shall pay their contingent within two years.

exclusively reserved for the extinction of the paper-

It is calculated that the tax upon land alone in the
Hereditary St.tes will produce in bank-notes a sum
of 800 millions of florins (1250 millions of francs).
The other branches of the tax will produce at least
an equal sum ; so that the State will acquire at least
thousand milli of florins.

The two pretended Russian couriers whom the
German papers have made to arrive here, were only
two couriers from Colberg, bringing an account of an
attack of the English on some vessels loaded with
salt near Brodenhagen. They have also given an air
of mystery to tha mission of Prince Gagarm, who was
only commissioned to makecompliments of condolence
to his Majesty on the death of the Queen.

'64 The restrictions imposed upon our trade are con-
tinued with undiminished severity by the Douaniers
in the town. The garrison has gone to join the troops
collected in Hanover, which are intended to enter
Denmark. About 20,000 men are supposed to he
collected for this service, most of the supplies for
which are derived from hence. -
" Things appear as if they would come to a nip.,
ture between France and Russia. A Traveller just
arrived from Poland, states, that hostile preparations
are making all over that country fi,r a campaign, but
it seems rather late in the season to begin ; nor is it
thought, if it happens at all, that it will take place
before the next Spring.

issued by the King of Denmark, to put a stop to con. I

The French Navy seems now to obtain a consi-
derable portion of NAPOLEON'S attention. Two schools
for the instruction of youths intended for the naval
profession are ordered to be immediately formed at
the ports of Brest and Toulon. The acknowledged
skill and ability of the officers of the French Navy
previous to the Revolution were principally derived
from their being brought up in similar institutions;
The Monitrur of the 29th is nearly filled with the
text of two Edicts relating to the Austrian Finances.
We have given the substance of them from a minor
journal. Whatever may be the merit or ultimate suc-
cess of these plans, they do not appear to have created
much confidence in the class of persons who manage
the ordinary monied transactions in that country..

advocates for this unnatural application of the re-
sources of the country know that our crops are never
equal to the demand of our population ? Is it not
most preposterous that the gold of the country shoal,'
be daily sent over to France for ahe purchase of grain'
while our warehouses overflow with sugars. which
are not permitted to be imported into France in re-
turn for her corn ? Such is the inverted order of
things, however, which the advocates for distillation
from grain would introduce, but we trust that the
Legislature will never listen to such selfish politicians.
