ship, actors and actresses are in a state of excommu-
nication; which, if etiforcul, would deprive them of
the betietii =of Christian torrid. Many year's have
passed away any such harbprous exclusion was
practised I.erel and, cortainly, the attendants on
the remains' of this deceased performer were 'little
prepared for the disappointment which awaited them.
when they found ihe gates of the chinch locked
spinet them, lad admission peremptorily rt•fused.—
lireir dismay was succeeded by the universal indig- •
nation of the spectators. An immense crowd be-
gin to assemble: cotes of fury and vengeance were
heard' in all the adjoining quarters of Paris; the
rue St. Ilonore, and all the avenues within a quar-
ter of a mile of the scene, were blocked up by the po.
pulat e. The church doors were broke open, but go
priest appeared, and the most frightful disturbance
was. apprehended; nor was it supposed „that the
effects of the popular agitation would end with the
cause which had produced it. ln the mean time 11
message was sent to the ling, supplicating his Ma-
jesty's bite position, for the sake of humanity and
fox the public peace of the capital: The first answer
retuned from the Castle was that the affair belong-
ed. to the jurisdiction of lie Church, and that the
King cr.ul4l not inter meddle with the Spiritual Au-
thorities. A second deputatkno proceeded Willie
s, as the tumult increased, and the. danger
of some movement approaching to insurrection be-
came every moment more visible. At the same thee
a tlederatinso was communicated to the Court, on the
moot all theactors, act renes, and attendants on every
theatre ha-Paris, that if the remains of Mademoiselle
Rear/tar were not instantly admitted to the prili-
Pips of Christian sepulture, they. would in a body
read their recantation, and adopt the Lutheran, or •
(I believe) the Calvinistic faith. The second message
succeeded better than the first, and brought back an
older from the King to the priesthood, to receive
the corpse and read the funeral service. This was
accepted by the multitude as a pledge of. peace : ,
long, loud, and reiterated shouts broke from possi-
bly W,OOO people, "-Fire k. Roi—a bas les Ca-
loltes—a Gas les Culolins-7-au diable les Calolins !"
The ceremony was their performed, but I am told
with 44 maimed rights." The pus d'armerie a
cheviot, a detachment of gardes du corpv, and after-
wards of regular cavalry, were brought forward to
qaell the tumult. The military of all classes acted
with exemplary forkearnneo, and not a single life
was lost, nor a blow with the Sabra given.
P. S. I have just heard that the sane Priest who,
raised the disturbance of this morning, had ace at. •
tempted something of the same kind early in the
reign of. Bonaparte ; but pretensions of that nature
were not to the taste of him who sever tolerated a
double tyranny—the offending Cure was la coos.-
qualm put out of office.

EXTRACT OF A LETTER, DATED JAN. 14.

The four regiments of the lino, which had hitherto

composed the bulk of the regular infantry in this
garrison, have been ourzhed away at a d ty's notice,
gFemy to the astonishment of those who were not
well informed on the state of the public mind—
grva:l). I* the alarm of those who were—and who
saw the deepantl• increasing intermit attached to the
guestion,now nitated in all companies, between the
Illimi:ter at IVar and the llllf.pay Officers. It is
tirtioulstwlly true. that
,tile COW of Excelntans has itt•
flamed Whoever di-atfeption masted in the army, and

whatever epposition spirit stilll.teathed in the bosom
of society at large, to a. degree of which they who .
judge of France from the French Press can form but
a poor conception. Flahauk is openly at large in
karis, and to all appearance not likely to be further
molested. He. k a man of ancient family and
larg- flrtune, sod consequently looked up to by
toasty :limos of people who cared little about Ge-
ueral Excelmans, as not being one of their cast, nor
much entitled to their sympathies. Flahault is like.
ise a watt of considirable talents, and can make
good his party by the uce of his pen. lilt a pleasant
cilcumstanee turidst all this gloom, 'that the .whole
kivile- of w liatever violence or rigour has' been nor.

'ample request that Eacelmarts ould be more

duty in the environs of the palace, conjointly with
the Swiss and the National Guards, and they are

IXsfi, TAN. 's.—EnglandOn getting the wifole
State of Genoa, us well as some other pieces of ter.
Hitory, ceded to the King of Sardinia, is affirmed to
have detnanded the cession of the bland of Sardinia,
and there is, every reason to believe that it has been
made to her. The British Government does not in-
' tend to keep this island : Sardinia seems destined to
the Order of Malta, and it will become in future as
, flourishing as if is now the Contrary. Its position
between Africa, Italy, and Spain, will secure the
navigation of those seas against the robbers of
'Al-
giers, Tripoli. and Morocco. As soon as the flag of
the Knights of St. John of Jerusalem is hoisted on
the towers of Cagliari, there is no doUbt. but the
.African corsairs will desert those coasts, which will
' become so dangerous for them. r
JAN. 7.—lt seems certain that the peace conclutled
at Ghent will be attended w ith consequences proba-
bly decisive in respect to the operations of the Con-
gress. The language of the—Euglish is already ob.;
served to have become much more arsent. .
Some expect to see the Congress break
:the Emperor of Russia put himself at the head of his
army in Poland. Others pretend Ihat the Trium-
virate of the North are agreed bettee, perhsps,"thati
is suitable to the independence' of. Europe; that'
Austria convents to the incorporation of Poland and
Saxony, on condition of obtaining an extraordinary
increase of territory in Italy. This expectation
agrees with the reports of changes of Ministers.
The Pointe Royal of Wittemberg is definitively I
divorced from his consort, the Princess Charlotte of
Bavaria, whom the policy of Napoleon had forced
him to espouse. This young prince, who is greatly
beloved, and who, with Blucher and Wellington,
was considered as the hells of 'lid ca npaign of 1814,
is to espouse the Grant' Duchess Catharine.
The most siugular report which circles at Vien-
na, is that of the abdication of the Grand Duke Of 4
Baden, whose health is very precarious, and who hat-
had no son by the Gra ,•I Duchess Stephanie Napo-`
term, born Tascher. This ceport pr ves, perhaps*,
only one thing,—the iireconcileable hatred of the
Germans towards every thing that recalls the name
of Bonaparte. It is so violent. th-t many publiE
prints have ventured to publish epigrams upon the
Grand Duchess of Baden ; though, to gain the minds
of the people, she has learnt to speak and to write
German.

• ~,GEttoit, Jut 7.—The state of our city is very
alarming. The greatest fermentatiOn prevails among
the populace, and in all classes of society. Col.
Dalrymple has written to the 14ing of Sardinia, ea-
i treating him not• to send any riedinontese troops
either into the city or the riviera, as ho could not be
answerable for their safety. The English hate be-
come the objects of our hatred and animadversion,.
The Americans, after the (*ruction of Washington,
were not so justly 'exasperated against them as we
sifter the cession'of our unfortunate couetry.
The President of the Republics Mi. Serra, on re.,
sits ing his functions, addressed the Genoese in a
Noel:mafiosi, in which he ,olemnly calls upon the
Powers to guarantee the independisnce of a people
which has been free for ages, which has always en-
joyed the privilege of governing itself, and is de-
prived of its liberty at the very moment when it flat-
tered itself with the idea of its restoration.

We are in a state of complete anarchy %%Mel is as-
',lning an alarming character. . The Anglo-Sicilian
troops are afraid of the fury of the people.
Roue, Dec. 30.—The King of Sardinia has re-
called the Jesuits. Ile is about to establish a collegc
and noviciate'at Turin.

JAN. Jesi, Bishop of -, and Cardinal
Manly, Archbishop of blontefiascone, so remark-
able As; tlwir attachment to Bonaparte, are about to
