FRENCH PdTERS.

PARIS, JANUARY rt.
There was an assembly and concert yesterday at
the Duke of Wellington's. The company was very
numerous :end brilliant. _ _

Letters from Calais state, that on the 18th, many
transport vessels, with English troops on board, re-
entered that port, after having experienced, during
twenty-four hours, the most tempestuous weather.
Most of the horses perished, and a number of men
were swept away by the waves.
If we may credit letters from Frankfort, M. de
Lavalette has got to Munich—he escaped from
Fr.tnce through Switzerland, and along the Lake of
Constance.
Sir Robert Wilson still has permission to see his,
wile; he is also allowed to walk in the court of the
prison, and to write and receive letters. •
There is still a park of artillery established at the
end of La Chapelle, on the road to St. Denis. The
English soldiers who have the guard of these pieces
are lodged in the village. The inhabitants are not
obliged to find them provisions.
Several German journals state that` the Kings of
Bavaria and Wurtemberg, and the Grand Dulre of
Baden, have concluded an alliance for the purpose of
Solemnly guaranteeing the States which they at pre-
sent possess.
'nit Venus de Medici: has made its solemn entry
into Florence, it arrived on the 3d, preceded by a bril-
liant suite, the principal pictures of the Italian School,
the Chefs d'oeuvre of Raphael, Michael Angelo,
Guido, Salvator Rosa, Andre del Sono and Julio
Romano, served for the escort. The whole popula-
tion went out to meet them. If any thing can console
us for our losses in the arts, it would be to see these
monuments pass into the hands of an idolatrous pea.
ple, whose enlightened enthusiasm promises a
gious care for their preservation.
General Colbert, who was arrested and setat liberty
by order of Government, has obtained permission to
retire to a foreign state. He has quitted the capital.
It is said that the King, in commemoration of the
21st January, has set at liberty the prisoners for debt
under the sum of 20,0110 francs, who, from their per-
sonal qualities, or from the situation of their families,
had any claim to the benevolence of his Majesty.
Since the return of the Emperor Alexander into
capital, he has made many alterations in the
eiTquette of his Coon. The Imperial table is served
at two o'clock, instead of four. The Emperor gene-
rally rises at five o'clock, and is occupied all day.
Madame, the Duchess of Angouleme, on her re-
arm from the funeral ceremony at St. Denis, received
no company. She retired to her apartments, and did
not attend the dinner of the King.
The If:Bowing is the Address of the Chamber of
Deputies to the King on the commemoration of the
21st of Janutry :
Seca—Your f titl,ful subjects of the Chamber of
Deputes present to your M it:sty a very painful ho.
mage. Ice order to spare Fiance the crime: of vtlitch
this day renews tt a memory, Louis XVI. your an.
gust would have app:ltled to Lis people.
Attar %went.) -three years of servitude and of calami-
ties, the French people, restored to liberty and to it-
* lf, can at last reply:to the appeal ot its -Ring. We
come in its name; in the face of Europe, in plesei,ce
of the revered throne of Henry IV. arid of St. Louis,
to disavow that atrocity. No, Sire, it was not the
crime of France. We attest, in support of this, the
confidence of the martyr King, the innumerable vic-
tims sacrifice followed his, the transports which I
rut return excited; we call to witness the honor
wnic!i the authors of that crime inspire in the nation.
4, Tiwy thought to annihilate the ancient compact
which tomes our destinies to your august family ;
the. y have rendered it mere sacred. May we be per-
mated, Sire, now to renew the inviolable engage-
ment, in order to console us for the recollections
winch that horrible day recals ; permit us, the organs
01 France, in mourning, to say to you, Sire, we have
pot degenerated from the loyalty of our ancestors.
'1 As long as your illustrious race shall exist, we
will be faithful to it : never will we recognize for our
legitimate Kings any Princes except those of your
house, and on whom the order of primogeniture shall
impress that character. We swear it before Gov, and
before men. Let the French name be lost in oblivion
rather than we should betray this oath of honour.
4, We lay it, Sire, at your feet, and supplicate your
Majesty to ordain that, engraved on brass, and sub-
scribel by all the Members of the Chamber of Depu-'
ties, it may be attached to that expiatory monument
which the national grief is preparing, in order to
transmit to posterity the most distant, at once, the
protest of the French people against the murder of
21 st January, and the solemn testimony of the senti-
ments which animate us."

' STRASBURGH, JANUARY 17.
The rage for denunciations still prevails in this De-
partment, and it is not astonishing that many names
are often put at the bottom of these sort of pieces,
for the inhabitants of the country, who are naturally
credulous, are often but too much disposed to submit
to be directed by one of those artful persons, who'
conceal their views of personal interest under the
appearance of the public good. The Prefect was in-
formed, that in a Commune one of these purturba-
tors collected signatures to denounce the Local Au-
thorities, and to solicit the restoration of those who
were elected during the usurpation, and who were
afterwards removed in consequence of the Orden-
nonce of the 28th of July. He went on with this
business, and when he presented himself this morn-1
ing at the audience, he was arrested as an instigator I
of the quarrels of the Commune, and conducts tc.
prison.
The Prefect of the Department having b:en in-
formed that certain individuals ran about the country
pretending to be authorised ,to collect vows lor the
choice of Mayors, troubling good citizens, exciting
hatreds, and particularly those which might have re-
ligion for their object, has ordered the gend.irmerie
to arrest, and carry before him, all who should pretend
to be entrusted with such 41 mission. The Mayors are
invited to report them immediately to the superior
authorities.
