OF the ship Belfast, in the remarkabI
short passage of 25 days from Antwerp
we are indebted Tor file of the Antwer
Journal to the 22d ultino. and have mad
the following summary Of their contents.
A Paris paper of the 10th ultimo states
that by an order Of the King, the body G
the Duke de Berri has been opened b,
three surgeons, by whose report it appear
that the dagger of the assassin penetrate'
the lungs, aud passed into the lobe OF th'
heart.
The same paper remarks, that the per
son who perpetrated this horrid deed wa
to be secured 10 the palace of Luxembourg
in the same room in which Marshal Ney
was confined.
All places OF amusement were ordere;
10 be closed for nine days. There were
numerous specuiations as to the cause o
this assassination.
In this paper, We also find the following
highly important and portentous articles:
"The editor of the Drapeaa Blanc
(M. MariinvilIe,) has been arrested and his
paper suppressed cause pot stated.
Many young men, wearing in their
button holes white ribbon, entered in the
evening the Lamblin Coffeehouse, Palais
Royal,) where were assembled a number
of citizens, whom they insulted. M. de
Corcelles, member Of the chamber Of Dep
uties, who was 10 the company, was also
insulted; but as the conduct OF these young
men was not at the moment resented, no
scuffle ensued. A guard soon arrived and
cleared the house. An officer Of the peace,
decorated with the Legion of Honor, but
not 10 active service, was challenged by
some of these young men, who gave him
their names and addresses. Numerous
patroles paraded the streets all the evening
10 the neighborhood Of the Pasis Royal.
i" The public alarm was SO great, that
many strangers Immediately quit Paris,
under the impression that revolution was
on the eve of breaking out. The press
was so great, that it was almost impossible
10 procure horses"
The Paris editor remarks, " without
doubt the assassination of the Duke de
Berri, is the original cause Of the present
alarm; but has it not been imprudently
increased by the declarations of some Of
the journalists, and by the measures of the
government proposed TO the Chambers.
When Louvet, the assassin, was inter-
rogated by the Minister Of the Interior,
the following question was put to him -
As you have said you do not fear
death, why did you fly when you assassi-
mated the Prince? He replied, coolly, To
assassinate another"
When his food was brought to him, he
refused to receive it because it was lean,
and said that it would not give him
strength enough to sustain the numerous
questions that we're put TO him.
The Antwerp Journal Of the 22d con-
tains news from Cadiz Of the lst of Feb
ruary, and from Madrid as late as the 18th.
The Cadiz accounts observe, that Gen.

him to fly from the storm which was gath

tachment, and overcome with fear, this
favourite minister went 10 the ThuiIleries
at one o'clock, and begged the King to
accept of his resignation, acknowledging
that this measure was indispensable to the
safety of the monarchy.
From the New-York Gazette, March %.
On re-perusal Of the Antwerp papers
by Capt. Bunker, we find that an attempt
was recently made by the French Minister
Of the Interior to suppress all the public
Journals, and TO suffer none TO be circn-
lated without license for the purpose
from the King. The committee charged
with the examination of this law, made al
uDlavorable report.
The passage Of messengers through Ant

February, four passed through; two from
Amsterdam for Paris, and Two from Pari:
for Amsterdam.
