PARIS, Nlar I.
We ael intended to insert to day the narrative of the
facts which we had collected respecting the review of
the National Guard, but all the -Journals having given
a considerable number of those afflicting details, we
have not thought it necessary to publish those which
they have left in oblivion, and we think that their ac-
counts are fully sufficient to enable the. public to know
and to appreciate what passed.
The Count de Bray, Envoy Estranrdinary and Mi-
nister Plenipotentiary of Bavaria, has just ended I is
mision in France, and was admitted to•day to take
leave of the King in a private audience. His Majesty
cl,siring to give that Minister a distinguished proof of
his satisfaction with the manner in which he has con-
ducted himself during the whole time that he had
resided at his Court, has appointed him Grand Cross
of the Royal Order of the Legion of Honour, and was
pleased to present him the insignia with his own hand.

PARIS, MAT 2.

A letter from Barcelona, of the 420th of April, says—
" Every thing is tranquil from the banks of the Liobregat to the
frontiers; the bands in the mountains continue to disperse. AU
that is said of the country about Tarragona, and other districts on
the left bank of the Ebro, must be understood of the first risings,
which no longer exist. An order from the Government, commands
the decrees of August,lB2s, to be applied to those who shall be
taken with arms in their hands—that is to say, nothing is rs>
quired but to prove their identity to shoot them without further
investigation "
To all that has been lately said and written, it must
be added, that the people of Barcelona, confiding its the
wisdom of the authorities, have not seemed to pay any
attention to the events which threatened the whole pro.
•inc-. They have remained perfectly calm. The
news from those parts in which the flame of sedition
was not yet kindled as the agitators wished, continue to
be satisfactory.
FROM THE FRONTIERS OF SPAIN, Arm. 25.
The Marquis de Chaves and his Lady have arrived
at Irun. The Marchioness is ill, and, notwithstanding
her indispo4tion, the Spanish authorities had received
orders not to allow her to stop.
Our frontiers are tranquil: nothing announces, as
was expected, that the troubles in Catalonia estand
into Arragon, which enjoys profound peace.—Echo du

DiTAILS RESPECTING Till ORDONNANCR FOR DIA.
BANDING THR NATIONAL GUARD OF PARI3.-SOITIR
interesting details have been communicated to us con•
cerning the facts which followed the review of the Na-
tional Guard. They are from an authentic source. On
returning to the Palace, the King said to the Marshals
surrounding him, "[t might have gone off bettvr ; but
on the whole [am satisfied." Marshal Oudinot then
asked permission of his Majesty to mention, in the
Older of the Day, the satisfaction of his Majesty. His
Majesty said he consented, but he wished to see the
sketch of the Order of the Day. The Marshal brought
it to his Majesty at nine o'clock; it was approved, and
the orders accordingly given.
At two o'clock in the morning, Marshal Oudinot was
awakened to be informed of the tenor of the Ordonnance.
Neither his Majesty nor the Dauphin was present at the
Council of Ministers, when the Ordonnance was dis-
cussed and adopted. Notwithstanding the opposition
of some Members against it, we are assured that three
Ministers opposed it. The majority of the Council pro-
ceeded to the Palace of his Majesty, to present the re-
sult of their deliberations. It is clear, therefore, that
the disbanding is a measure of Ministerial vengeance.
It is, then, to the selfishness and'ambition of three or
four Ministers that we owe the sacrifice of the existence
of the Parisian National Guard, which has rendered
immense services to its country. Ah 1 if the responsi-
bility of Ministers was not a fiction !

I. TO TIM mascot os Tat

" Paris, May 1.
6 Sot—l have read in the Intros? de Paris of April 30, that a
National Guard, belonging to the 7th Legion, having left the ranks,
gave utterance to improper language. As I know that only one
National Guard of that Legion left the ranks, I owe it to truth to
declare that I am that person, and that the only words which I
spoke, and which were spoken—respectfully spoken—were these;
• Sire, permit your National Guard to cry Ma la Pierre /' The
pretended injunction to leave the ranks was not given, as far as
regards me. " ALPH. V—, a disbanded National Guard."

'nom THE JOURNAL DES DF.IATS.
PARIS, Mar I.
The English Ministry is at length constituted. If
the measures which have preceded its definitive or-
ganisation have not produced entrance to the Councils
of the Marquis of Lansclqwn, they have ac le .st ensured
his support, and that of his friends, to the Administra-
tion of Mr. Canning. Scarcely we ikened by the de-
sertion of some of its former friends, and fortified by an
Oeposition which sometimes balanced with it the
strength of the Government, when this Administration,
winch was represented as tottering, presents itself before
the Parliament, far from having to calculate the doubt-
ful chances of a success, the question was, where the
perils would arise? Let us acknowledge that, from the
first moment, we have not admitted them. While the
first place in the Council was disputed, we pointed out
Mr. Canning as the political heir. of Lord Liverpool. To
those who imagined they saw bins sinking beneath the ri-
val pot Lion of the Cabinet, we replied by announcing his
elevation. To the fears of some, and the hopes of others,
we answered, with respect to tl.e delays necessarily pro-
duced by the reorgairiz ,tiou of a Ministry, we opposed
the confidence that nothing could arise from them but
a community of cunce,sions favourable to the desired
union; and to thu;e who calculated only on the violent
conte,t in the Parliament, we repeat, with confidence,
that Mr. Canning's success is certain. We congratulate
England and Fiance on tire event, convinced, as we
are, that the similarity of inititutions can at least ba-
lance between the two irat;ons geographical rivalship
or commercial competition.

SITUATION AND CALCULATIONS OF TILE MINISTERS.—
The illonittur, in its non•official part, has thought prope.
to contradict the report of the Dauphin not having been
present at the Council of Sunday evening; 'and the
Me de Doudeauville appears to have assured sever..l
medicable persons that his anyal Highness was not pie-
sent. It is said, that the Bishop of Hermnpolis joined
wilt the Duke de Doud:auville in opposing Messrs.
Villele, Cotb:ere, C.eitnont Tonnete, reyionnet, and
Dawn.
It is said, that M.Villele did not like the DJlte mach,
g
because he thought him areiter favour re at Moo-
rouge than himself. His successor in the place whence
Lc has :aired, must be chosen; but whence will he be.

taken? Prince Polignac is mentioned, who can .no'
longer remain in London after the secret war he has car•
tied on against Mr. Canning. It has also been thought,
that M. Dennis insufficiency for Foreign Affairs would
cause him to be transferred to the King's Household.
Naw DETAILS RESPE,CTINE THE LATE COUNCIL.II
is said M. Villek declared to the King, that after the
insult he had received under his windows, he could not
remain Minister, and that after contending against this
pretended resistance, the King consented to the measure
of disbanding the National Guard, in order to preserve
M. Villele. This discussion between ts:e King and his
Minister lasted, it is said, three quarters of an hour. A
preparatory Council was held at the hnu'e of M. de
Corbiere, and then the measure was really determined
on before the Ministers repaired to the Tuileries. The
Dauphin was not present at the Council ; and the King
like the public, only heard of the measure by reading
the Monileur.
There is some idea of forming a Commission at the
'house of the Minister of the Interior, to revive the Na-
tional Guard, with some modifications. It has been, it
is said, mentia.ned, to the Duke de Reggie, who has re-
I jetted with disdain this patching up.

The Devonport Column is rapidly approaching to-

day last raised to the summit and safely deposited in their places, In
the presence of a vast concourse of people.
The opening of the Gloucester and Berkeley ship
canal, which was commenced in 1792, took place on Thursday
sennight. In the progress of forming this canal,it has been necessary
to apply for six Acts of Parliament, the first of which was obtained
in the Session of 1792-3, and in the latter year the works were
commenced. But the expense of carrying on a design of such
magnitude so tremendously exceeded the estimate, that the
original capital was speedily swallowed tip, and by the time
ase locks and basin had been formed, and about five miles of
the canal excavated, the design was abandoned in despair. About
12 years ago, however, the undertaking attracted the attention of
Mr. Neiman, of Coventry, and through his representations, in
connexion with several other Gentlemen, the design wasagain taken
up, and on the Ist of Sept. 1817, the works were resumed. Since
that petiod, immense sums of money have been expended, and vs-
Boos has been the success with which the proprietors have been
struggling on ; nor would the plan have been at last carried into effect,
had not the aid of Government been repeatedly afforded, through
the me..ium of the Exchequer Loan Commissioners. The expen-
diture to the present time has exceeded the sum of 450,0001. The
canal is 16% miles long, and there are 15 awing bridges over it, ex-
clusive those over the locks at each end. It is upon one entire
level, aad when full, Is from 70 to 90 feet wide, and 18 feet deep,
with a spacious basin at each end for the reception of shipping.—
Thursday, being the long expected day when the opening was to
take place, at an early hour in the morning, the picturesque scenery
of Sharpness Point was enlivened by the presence of hundreds of
spectators, who were attracted to the spot from all parts of the
country, and the sight was of the most animating description.—
At high water, about half-past II o'clock, the ship Anne, of 300 tons,
Phillips, master, belonging to Mr. Irvine, Bristol, was hauled into
the entrance sock, amidst the exalting shouts and congratulations
of the spectators, and the firing of guns. She was then speedily
admitted into the canal, when she hoisted ail her cclours,
manned her tops, and gave three hearty cheers. The towing
horses were now put in requisition, and without any obstruc-
tion, the Anne, with the Meredith, another vessel, kept on
their course to Gloucester; and every yard in advance for the
last few miles broualst an increase to the number of spectators, till,
on approaching the city, the crowd which lined the banks was
almost too dense to move. The giand point of attraction was at
the basin, which was surrounded by an immense mass of people of
all classes ; and the warehouses of the Company, and every other
spot which could afford a view of the scene, were filled with anxious
spectators. As the vessels entered the basin. about ball-past three
~'cluck, the guns were fired, and mutual congratulations exchanged
by all parties. The Meredith and Aisle were then brought to their
respective mooring stations, and it was long ere the novelty of
the scene would allow the collected assemblage of spectators
to disperse.

Yesterday Aug Fh,m, Ellen &rem'. and Ellen Smith, were fully
committed, charged by William 'reasdstr, a Somers Town Con-
stable, with uttering, in the neighbourhood of Battle-hridge, base
coin. The prisoners were watched throughout the day into several
shops. in each of which they succeeded in passing a fhilling or half
crown; which, on their leaving, was procured and marked by the
Constable, till becoming at length fatigued, he apprehended them,
with the goods purchased, and a considerable VIM of counterfeits
' upon theirprrsons.—Flinn and Smith stoutly denied the charge, but
Curran burg into a flood of tears, and cnfeased her guilt.

DIARY-LA-BONNE.
Tare Branum Lavven lleraitelaurr.—There is not among the
varied sources of iniquitous livelihood in this Metropolis a body of
persons who obtain a more comfortable living than that worst de-
scription of persons who deceive the charitable and humane by pre-
tended tale's of misfortune and misery, and, incredible as it may seem,
there are above two hundred persons moving about town who solely
live upon the bounty of the rich and chatitable, extorting money
under every pretence of sickening misery and accumulating mitfor-
tone. 'a esterday a well-known member of this party, named John
Henry Barons, was brought before Mr. Holum' and Mr: GIUF•
t, by a streetkeeper named Frodd, who detected him in Mon-
-tague•aquare, ringing at a Gentleman's house with a begging letter.
The only feature that appeared in this man's examination was an
inspection of the contents of the pockets of his tattered but well
brushed black coat. There were a complete list of above a thou-
sand names, with residences, Ste. of those who are distinguished for
private charity among the Nobility and Gentry, and a series of pe-
titions, varying the case of distress, pretty generally couched in
eloquent arid feeling terms. There wac one an " Appeal to the Be-
nevolent,' a second, " The Petition of a Reduced Clergyman," a
third, " The Appeal in behalf of aWarrant Officer of the Navy and
his five children, addressed to the humane and compassionate of
both sexes ; and several others calculated to catch the attention and
prompt relief of the public.
A person from the Mtndicity Society attended, and proved that
this Mr. Barons bad been an impostor on their books for some
years. He produced several well written petitions which had been
transmitted by some of the Nobility, with directions to relieve him ;
but Mr.. Barons not liking the experiment of asking relief at that
quarter, he never made his application.
lit repeatedly protested that his was a peculiarly hard ease, be-
cause he only expected voluntary contributions: Howevet, the
Magistrates demonstrated to him, by a committal of three months'
exercise on the tread-wheel of the House of Correction, that a legal
fatality attended his certainly most clever avocation; and he con-
soled himself by remarking in the vestibule sf the office, that many
a better man was there before him.

Cnestrsa, MAT 4.—Tne only culprit left for execu-
tion at our late Assizes, was James Lamb, gamekeeper
to Colonel Yate, of Inu, who was convicted of shooting
at William Hatton, a poacher. By the London post of
Tuesday evening a respite was received by our woi thy
Prothonotary for the unhappy man, with an intimation
that his sentence would be commuted to fourteen yeasel
transportation.—Chester Chronicle.
Saturday Robert Matthews and William Birt, for'
shooting at Mr. Howard, of Woodchester ; together with .Tiemph
Bay, for burglary, and Mark Dyer and Jukla Dye► (brothers), for
shooting at Thomas Mills, were executed at Gloucester, pursuant
to their sentence at the last Auizes. Joseph Jones and William
Leach, who were condemned with Ray, have had their sentence
commuted to transportation for life, as have also twenty-six others
against whom sentence of death was recorded.
M A Lictous Ravictscr.—Mr. Dow, residing opposite
the Chain Cable Factory in the Commercial-road, gave
information at Lambeth-street Police office, of a moat

:wanton act of malicious revenge, which was perpe-
trated by some brutal-minded fellow, a few evenings
since, who, getting into his premises, gored one of his
horses in a most shocking manner; and, not content
with this piece of barbarity, afterwards broke both its
fore legs.
Thursday, Mr. DINUAIt, a butcher, at Walham-
green, accompanied by two children, went in a horse
and cart to get a cask of water from Brumer's Dock,
on the Middlesex shore,' and left the children on the
bank while he backed his cart into the river, when the
wheels sunk into a hole, aid the horse was carried off
his legs. Mr. DiNHAII who was on the shaft, in en-
deavouring to rescue the animal, got entangled wi.h
the reins, and before assistance could be procured, he
and the horse were drowned.
