pignan condemned to fifteen months' imprisonment

containing various expressions against the Govern-

ment.
The Mews Journal aliens, that those of the Ma-
melukes who formed part of -thr 'Usurper's Guard,
and who, after his fall, repaired, to Marseilles, had
left that city by stealth to proceed to Tunis or Algiers.

The officers in garrison at Cambray, and the Eng-
lish.ladies now' in that town, having exptissed a wish

played to them on the 211.
There have been seized at Besancon, 281. pieces

The Cour Royale of Paris has recently decided,
that French. tribunals cannot declare executable a de-
cision pronounced by a foreign tribunal in favour of
a Frenchman against a foreigner resident in-France ;
and has thus annulled one uf the Tribunal of First
Resort of the Seine, which directed the. execution of
a decision made in May, 1814, by the Circuit Court
of the District of Massachusetts, United States, be-
tween one Holkar, a French subject, and Parker, a
citizen of the United States, both merchants.

STRASBURG, AUGUST 114:
We ate busy with the harvest in this department,
and the cultivators take advantage of the fine weather
to house the crops, which preven's them from coming
to market. Some Jews of the loner class wished to
speculate and raise prices, which, from the above
cause, are already very high; but the Prefect has
caused two of them to be arrested—one at Saverne,
and the other at Strasburg; and the activity M the
Police in all the markets of the department will pre-
vent any futther abuses.
CAGLIARI. (SARDINIA), AUGUST IL
Giovanni della Valle, master of the Annonciade
felucca, arrived from lgiers, has brought accounts
that five Barbary vessels had been attacked by an
American ftigate and brig, which had captured the
vessel on board which was a nephew of the Dry ;
that the American Captain in his route having met
the Neapolitan ship ..ie.Christine, charged to pay ran-
sows for the Christian slaves, sent to visit the vessel,
and having learnt her object and destination, dissua.
tied her from continuing the voyage.
The Neapolitan officrr having come on board the
American ship, the Captain, cerversing with the
Dey's nephew, said to him, 66 Prerients render Those
to whom they are offered only more extortionate : to
schmit to it is an act of weakness. Steel alone gives
liberty and independence: it avenges thereproach
shameful bargains. Return to Naples, and tell your
master that a son of America has delivered the Me-
diterian'ean froth the yoke of the-Barbary Powers."
The Neapolitan vessel hoisted the American flag,
and the Dey'snephew was Stitt back in ezchinge for
the sums destined for the Regency.
These acts, calculated only to irritate the Orates,
should produce redoubled zeal and vigour in the
measures to be taken against them. It is necessary
to take-advantage of the hatred now sworn against
them, to destroy them, and render their rage fruitless.
Besides, the latest. news from Algiers states that the
Dey redoubles his activity, and that the works are
advancing on all sides. The fleet which is in port is
destined to be sacrificed : it would appear that there
will be placed on it machines to act against the small
boats which might dare vi approach.
PALERMO, JULY 111.
=TRACT or a PIIIVATZ LITTER:

The Hereditary Prince, who is much liked in
Sicily, has returned here, and resumed the reins of
government in the name of his fattier. It was be-
lieved that the convocation of Parliament would have.
been cue of the first measures which the Government
,would have taken, because the taxes are only voted
up to the end of August; but it appears that the Go-
vernment wishes, in the first instance, definitively to
organize the Ministry.
The harvest has been the most abundant witnessed'
for the.last 24 years. The price of corn has fallen
to 76 fr. per :alma, which sum is still a high price to
a Frenchman or German; but we were ;accustomed.
by the English tovzorhitant pikes so long as their At.
mies were in Sicily and Spain. The salma was then
'nearly double the above price.
The culture of the vine has been very much ins.
proverflatterly. andespecially in the vicinity of Mar-1
sale. The wines there produced are ell exported.—
An Englishman of the name of Woodhouse,engaged
in this trade, is making thousands by it.

Prince Blucher seems to like his abode here,, and
we shall have the pleasure of having him, here till (Zee
beginning of next month. How greatly the Prince
longed to see his native country, and the town of his
birth, appears from the following speech, which he
made on the 10th, en the Grand Duke's proposing,
as a toast, 4, To all brave 'Mecklenburgers."
Meckleriburgers—lo your name, I come for-
ward and thank o'er gracious Prince for his kind
wishes; I may be allowed to do this, for I belong to
you, and it is an honour for me to belong to you.—
GOD has permitted me, a Mecklenburger, to assist in
delivering the world film the yoke of tyranny that
is now accomplished ; bat I have gained still more,
that, which in my situation of life, I have cherished
in the inmost recess of my heart, which I most ar-
dently longed to attain, is now attained ; I am now
happy and free in the country where I was born,
where I played away my boyish days, where the
bones of my worthy parents repose. Gb GOD ! thou
knowest. how I have longed to pray by the side of
their tomb, before I. myself drop into 'the grave :
thailks be to thee, now I can, now I shall.do
would I repose by their side, when, per-
haps, soon my eyes shall cloie in death; but i wish
for nothing more, I have already obtained tpo much,
more than I deserve; my heart belongs to yoa; love
me again; remain, as I find you,- 'faithful to your
Goo and w truth—faithful to your ?Noce; thus
re-
main faithful to yourselves; I believe 'I do not err,
it, at the close of my days, I. prophesy to My coun-
try, under the Prince -whom 1 may venture to call
my friend, its highest prosperity. Long live Frede-
rick Francis—long and' happy I" •

country. I thank your Royal Highness for your
friendly reception; continue your favour to me; it
will always be my happiness ; as I shall always
esteem it an honour to-have received my being in
your country: :Let us 'forget what we have suffeted,
and thank GOD for our present happiness. Goo bless
you! Gun lon. rejoice my country and me, by the
happiness of your life I Gentleiten, allow me to pro-
pose to you the health of our Grand Duke ; may he
