The Qom): of Holland and her family aid eve

the others of whose household apartments have al-

Pains, SEPT. 28.—The works of the bridge
which is building over the Seine at Cboisy, long
felt to be necessary hi-establishing a direct commu.
nication betweeti the departments of the North and
those of the South, ark rapidly advancing. On the

parts, their Majesties, on their journey to Fon.
tainblcau, after having passed through an elegant
triumphal arch, ornamented with inscriptions, en.
gored the ferry-boat, where a repast was provided fur
them, of which they had the goodness to partake.
Having examined the works, and received an ex.
planation of the details, and of the mechanism, their
Majesties condescended to express their satisfaction
to M. Navier, the *Engineer, with regard to the
composition and mode of construction of this bridge.
Their Majesties then remounted their carriage, to
set oat for the castle ar Grosbois, through a don.
ble row of spectators, expressing by shouts of joy
their happiness in having been able to contemplate
the Conqueror, the Legislator, and the Benefactor
of a great part of the nations of Europe—the fa.
ther of his subjects, as great iii peace as in war.
SEPT. R9.—The following Decree for the esta.
blishment of Schools of Marine has appeared
PALACE or FONTAINELCAU, SEPT. 47.
" We, Napoleon, Emperor of the French,
King pf Italy, Protector of the Confederation of
the Rhine, Mediator of the Swiss Confederatioa,
&c. &c. have decreed and do decree as follows :
" Art. 1. There shall be formed in each of our Ports of
Brest and Touloo, a special School of Marine.
" 2. These schools shall be under the orders of the Maritime
Prefects.
" 3. No one shall be admitted to these .schools bat by a De-
cree; he must not be under the age of 13, nor above lb, of a
good constitution, and without bodily deformity.
" 4. The uu.nber of pupils at each port is fixed at.9oo# and
each shall pay an annual pea ion of SUO from's."
[Here follow a great many other regulations with
regard to dress, nature and mode of instruction,
Stc.]
M. Leon Lardiere, surgeon of the first class of
marine at R.oscoff, attests, that in attending sea-
men wounded in engagements with the English, he
has extracted a number of jagged bullets (balles
mashies). It is now a year since he first perceived
the employment of these bullets by our enemies.—.
He has ascertained the same fact in the most authen.
tic manner, in consequence of two successive corn.
bats sustained in the most brilliant manner, on the
29th of Aug. by Capt. Ballidard, against an Eng.
lisp cutter and lugger. The brave Captain, at the
close of these two actions, entered Itoscoff; and
having landed six wounded seamen, among,a nom.
6er of balls extracted from these there were found
three made jagged, with a care which proved a fe.
iocious intention of doing injury, by adding to the
ordinary amid avowed means of destruction employ.
ed in war.

• M. Leon Lardiere speaks' with the warmth of a
man of •honour against this barbarous process,
which civilization reprobates, and which doubtless
the English Government would itself disavow and
repress, if such facts came to its knowledge.—
Wounds occasioned by these jagged bullets are with
reason considered as more dangerous than others, in
consequence of the increased and more inflamma.
tory laceration occasioned by the asperities made in
such bullets.
CONSTANTINOPLE, AUG. 10.—The Grand Seig.
nior means to present the Grand Vizier, Jesse(
Pacha, with a diamond aigrette of the greatest value.
Thu Wechabites, to the number of 120,000
men, advanced, in the course of fist June, to &s-
-acra, on the Persian Gulph. The Pocha of flag.
dad, at the head of 40,000 men, drirre them back
as far as Arabia. They .were still, however, in
possession of the holy cities of Mecca and Medina,
which they have laid waste. As soon as the Porte
shall be delivered from the war against Russia, it
will adopt energetic measures against those enemies
of the Mahometasi faith. It is now five years since
the caravans of pilgrims for the holy cities have
wholly ceased.
VIENNA, SEPT. 16.—Letters from Constanti.
nople confirm the news, (hat on (he 10th of Aiigitst
the standard of Mehemet was displayed on the Se-
raglio. The departure of the Grand Seignior was
