PARTS, Apiur. IT—Magnificent fetes are pre-
paring at St. Quintin, for the reception of their
Majesties, who are expected to be there on the

Hit h.
APRIL 13.—A Council of Ministers, at which
the Emperor presided, took place on Wednesday

1a tat Conipeigne.
Avitir, 14.-1 t is thought that their Majesties
will not go to Antwerp, until the month of June.
Their departure fur St. Quintio appears to be
fixed for Monday next, the 16th. We are assured
that their Majesties will also visit Amiens and
Cumbray. in the course of their tour.
Auosuu Roo, APRIL 3.—The mere report of a
uegocia:om between France and England has made
such au impression en the purchasers of sugar and
entree, that these articles have already fallen
in
value, unit reappear, in great quantities) in all the

unigazine,.
BA Nits oT TRE. MerN, APRIL 7.--Tbe pacific
reports which circulate in the North of Germany
and Rolland, have had some influence on the trade
of those countries. The sensation which they
have produced ha, been stronger out the Exchange
of Amsterdam than any where else. In the meau
time these reports are variously considered. Some
regard them as certain, some think they are doubt-
ful, while others assert that they are destitute of
any foundation. Those who have lenge stocks of
colonial produce are nut a little alarmed, as they
are convinced th it a peace with England will
make these articles fall at least 50 per cent. The
mere ruintoir of an approximation has already
cursed a reduction in their value, and- several
houses are busy in making oilers of goods to their
• currespondeuts.
TutEste, Malmo 2-I.—There have been some
Skirmishes between the Turks and the French, on
the frontiers of French Croatia and Bosnia,' but
though blood has been shed, it is hoped that the
affair will have no farther bad consequences. The
Turks of Bosnia, who are a kind of half savages,
have long been accustomed to make occasionally
predatory incursions into the. Austrian territory.
They even attempted two years ago to tak6 pus.
session of some Croatian villages, with a view to
retaining them, but they were driien out of them
by main force. When complaint is made to the
Basbaw of Bosnia of these aggressions, he replies,
that they arc done by worthless men, and that he
would be well pleased to see them punished exem-
plarily. It is believed, however, Ott he secretly
favuurs them, and has'his share of the booty.
Semr.ist, MARcii 19.--We have received news
from Coustantinople, by which we learn, that
♦ioleot dissensions had broken out in the subqrb cif
• Scutari, between the Janissaries and the Seymens.
Blood had been shed, and the parties had been
several times engaged, but o hen it was known
that the fortress of Silistria was threatened by the
Russians, they suspended their quarrel, and una-
nimously called upon the Grand Seignior to put
himself at the head of the army. The Captain
Packs, and several Officers of the Navy, have
been dismissed.
TRIEsTE, .MARCH 23.—T.,..tters from Vienna
state, that Count Metternich, the Minister of
State, who was to leave that capital in a short
time for Paris, arill most probably proceed on a
mission to London. The first column of the Rus-
sian sailors and troops here will commence their
march for Russia un Sunday next. They will
joie another coluinn, which set out from Gorts a
few days ago. Their route is by Lubiana, Pet.
tau, Ofen, Am and through IVallachia. They
will be three mouths on the march.
VIENNA, APRIL I.—lt is reported that the Em.
peror intends to make a journey to Paris, acconi.
panied by the Archduke Charles. The period of
his setting off is not yet fixed.
-WARsATr, MAnen 20.—The Polish army is to
be kept up at the establishment of 60,000 men,
and the National Guards throughout the Duchy
lira also to remain on their present footing.
• BERLIN, MARCH 30.—Our Government has
faker the necessary measures to pay off the arrears
of the contributions due to France, without hay.
ing recourse to measures of a description always
Injurious to the State which employs then,. It is
settled that the fortresses of Glogau, Custrin,
and Stettin, shall continue to be occupied by the
French and Allied Troops until the definitive pay.
latent of the contributions.

MARCH 31.—The Queen is to accompany his
Majesty on his journey to Silesia, and also on his
visit to Paris.

ROTTERDAM, A MIL 15..--A letter from Vi

cans says, " It is affirmed by persons worthy of
credit, that one of our most celebrated negociators
at this moment in Paris will repair to London, ac-
rom panied by a great Personage of the Court of
Fiance, 'to treat fur a general pacification. - It is
hoped that the happy marriage of our Arch-
duchess Maria Linisa, with Napoleon the
Great, will fix tie destiny of Europe. Oit the 3d
instant, an English brig of war, of 14 gnus, that
bas been some time crnizing off I(avrc, sent one of
her boats, with eight men, to board a French brig.
coming from Caen. -The crew having abandoned
the latter, the English had an easy prize ; but
three pinnaces having set off from the shore with
a detachment of the 7th division of the Coast
Guards, the English were obliged to fly in their
turn. It was now quite dark, and a gale having
cone cln, the English could not find their vessel.
They therefore surrendered themselves to a pilot-
boat, alongside of which their own boat sunk.
They were landed next warning at Havre. The
master of a vessel arrived at Genoa, from Cyprus,
reports, that the town of Canes, the capital of
Candia, has been almost totally destroyed by an
earthquake.

Sir A. COCURANE has employed the Cygnet
sloop of war, Captain thy, to collect plants at
Cayenne, Trinidad, Ale. fur the Botanic Garden
at Dominica, and amongst various ►aluable arti.
del obtained through the zeal of that officer, and
of Mr. LocKoLao, of 'Friuidad, are five nutmeg.
trees, which, at the date of the last accounts,
were thriving amazit►gly.
