part of his indictment ; but acquitted him of that
which charged him with language calculated to pro-

The Court, conformable to the 479th Article of the

ORDINANCES OF THE KING,

To all those whom it concerns ;

Wishing to surroundour person with Ihemost respect-
able talents of those who have either given us a proof
of them by the services which they have rendered to
their country, or by their personal attachment to
os, we have resolved to form a Privy Council, re-
serving to ourselves the privilege of pointing out those
affairs which we conceive are of importance, and
particularly what concerns the superior Legislature.
We have, therefore, decreed and do decree as
follows

Penal Code, sentenced him to five days coufinement,
a fine of 15 francs, and to pay costs.
By a sentence of (he Correctional Tribunal of
Bourdeaus, of the 25th of September, one Leonard
Pauly, the master of a coffee-house in that city, was
condemned to pay a fine of 500 francs, for having
uacd in a public place outrageous language against
the Duchess of Angouleme. This was the maximum
of punishment applicable to his offence.
Many other individuals, accused of having uttered
seditious cries, tending to provoke the overthrow of
the legitimate Government, have by divers decisions
of the Council Chamber of the Civil Tribunal of
Bourdeauz, been sent before (he Royal Court. The
Council founded their decisions upon their incompe.
tency to take cognizance of crimes to which were
attached infamous punishments.

ANTIBES, SEPT. 20.—11 is hoped that this im-
portant city will be saved from being occupied by the
Allies. The misery which pre►ails in its environs
cannot be decribed ; but the reports of the signature
of peace give us reason to hope that there will be a
speedy end pot to our calamities.
VIENNA, SEPT. 24.—Private letters, which, how-
ever, want Confirmation, state, that the coronation
of the Emperor es King of Venetian Lombardy b
definitively postponed; however his Majesty will re.
ceive, during his residence at Milan, the horopec,
his Italian fu hi pet s.

The emigrations from France to the United Stales,
in order to obtain release from the burdens of the
contributions, and to escape from the civil commo-
lions which are dreaded, have been very considerable.
We are told, that the families of Marshal BRUNE
and of Colonel Lantooartne have already taken their
departure ; and it is publicly known, that Marshal
Nay, with his whole establishment, will pursue the
same destination should he obtain his acquittal. We
have a communication from a Gentleman who was
in company with five branches of families who are
taking their passage for America, and who will carry
with them property to the amount of one million of
francs. The population in the silk manufacturing
provinces to the southeast of the kingdom, all Pro-
testants, it is apprehended, will be reduced by the
same cause to the number of 60,000.
Three vessels, of the description called country
ships, now in preparation for speedy dispatch to the
Indian Seas, are, it is reported, to take out large sup.
;,lies of stores for the Cape of Good Hope, the Isle
of France, Ceylon, and, according to some state-
ments, to St. Helena also. Numbers of individuals,
and some families, are also going out, upon employ.
ments, civil and military, at the several settlements,
constituting considerable additions to the colonial
establishments. Not less than ten additional Medical
Officers are going to Ceylon. Some troops are going
in these ships.
Of the London ships expected from Jamaica. there
still remain two unaccounted for—the Isle of Monet
and the Preston, an old Indianian of 900 tons
burt hen.

The Congregation of the Missions has sent to
Rome a list of all the Christians who are prisoners
among the Infidels. There is an account of 40,000
in the Regencies of Algiers and Tunis. It seems
that the Jesuits, who had been hitherto protected in
Tunis, and who had made successful incursions into
the interior of Africa, have given umbrage to the
Government. Several have arrived at Rome. It is
believed, that his Holiness, according to the wish
which he has expressed, will make an appeal to the
Powers of Korcipe, to deliver the Christians from the
hands of the Infidels. A brief Address to the Prince
Regent of ENGLAND is talked of.
At our Old Cliffe Fair, on Monday last, between
15 and 40,000 sheep and lambs were penned, which
in the early part of the day went off pretty freely,
at prices somewhat higher than were given at the
New Fair; but this did not last long; former prices
were resorted to, at which the sales went on, steadily
till evening, when, we believe. there were not very
many remaining unsold. The Kentish buyers in their
attendance were respectable ; and they gave no in.
considerable bustle to the fair. Horned cattle were
but little in demand, some few sales were however
effected, and one amongst them we observed, was a
yoke of very pretty four-year old oxen, at 401. ; but
for a pair of an inferior frame, at six years old, we
noticed, that no purchaser could be hand at 301.

between twenty-five and thirty years, and a more
honourable, a more benevolent, or more decided,

their duly to keep within that boundary, than the
Noble Marquis, whom I am proud to call my friend,

for him to embark again in the tempest of the times.
As your Correspondent has mentioned Mad. DE LA

her surviving husband, and my high respect for her
memory, if I did not avail myself of the occasion
afforded me of paying the grateful tribute of condo-
lence to her amiable anol virtuous family, and ex-
press my sincere and unaffected regret, that such mo-
ral, such exemplary excellence, should have been
condemned by the inexorable tyranny of two worth-
less Princes, to have the remnant of her life tor-
tured and embittered to its close! She is no more!
