be King was to order him to retire to his estates, he
wo.ild leave Paris with his carrriage filled with Pro.
cl•nnations of the greatness, the goodness, and the
„i.dom of his Majesty. The reading of the pieces
finished at twelve, and the Officers of the gens-
d'armerie, in attendance, were ordered to introduce
the Marshal : in an instant every one rose from his
rat, to get a glimpse of the hero, crowned with
glory and misfortune. Marshal Jovansar ordered
all to be seated, and all persons turned out, who gave
any s of approbation or disapprobation, and
who did not pay the respect due to the Court

Cross of the Legion of Honour. A seat was placed
for him in front of the Court, to which he bowed

respectfully, and which was returned by each of the

Members, who evidently partook of his emotions.—

a firm and audible tone of voice ; he paid evr.ry de-

Remounts from the depots of the 11th, 12th, 13!h,
16th, and 23d Light Dragoons, stationed in the Kent
district, have received orders to hold themselves in
readiness to embark, to join their respective regiments
in France. Besides the above, other detachments and
troops, to the amount of 2000 men, are under orders
to proceed to France, to replace those of the British
tionps ordered home in consequence of ill-health.—
Among those destined for this service, are 250 of the
Coldstream Guards, which marched yesterday morn-

Great distress has arisen in America by the multi-
plicity of coun►erfeit notes in circulation. In conse-
quence of the great want in America of a circulating
medium, numerous individuals made issues of small
notes. These, as well as the Bank notes, have been
generally counterfeited. The culture of sugar is
practised in the Southern States with considerable suc-
cess, atid upwards of 80 large casks had been ex-
ported from one person's estate. Numerous emi-
grations take place daily from the Northern to the
Southern and Western States. Positive information
had been received at Buffalo, of a Treaty hewing
been concluded with the Wiens, and that every
