Phenix gazette. [volume] (Alexandria [D.C.]) 1825-1833, 1830-04-03
LATEST FROM EUROPE.

Commercial Advertiser have received several
files of Paris papers to the 18th Of February, in
elusive. The packet sailed from HaNre on the
elst.
The war between the Liberals and the Admin
istration is still waged vigorously on paper. Whe-
Their the latter will be able to sustain itself IN toto
during the session of the Chambers, seems TO be
probematical. The Constitutional of the 18th
SAYS:
SIT is reported that NJ. de Saint Priest is re-
called from his embassy to the Court of Spain.
His successor is not yet known. 1t is asserted,
also, that NJ. de Reyneval's arrival at Vienna was
almost Immediately followed by all order for his
return-the Prince de Polignac intending toglye
him the Portfolio, or rather the place, Of First Sc
cretary for Foreign Affairs. The preparations
for the expedition against Algiers gave rise to a
multitude of coniectures. Many believe that 1t
is only threat, and that the differences with the
Regency will be adjusted the moment the prepa-
ra:ions are terminated. The armament will ne
vertheless be organized, and will, according to
circumstances, either proceed to the Levant with
British squadron, in the event OF renewal OF
hostilities between Russia and the Porte, OF to
support Spain in her attempts to recover her do
mitnion over Mexico and her other former colo
MES. 1t is likewise rumored that four OF the
Ministers have rendered their designations to the
King, who declined to accept them"
The Journal des Dcbats says, upon the latter
subject:
:. We do not believe that any member Of the
Council has sent in his resignation. The only
authenticated fact is that four Ministers Alessrs.
de Montbel, Courvoisier, Chabrol, and d'flaus-
sez) declare the impossibility of getting through
the session, and judge themselves totally made
quate to overcome the political obstacles which
await them during the approaching parliamentary
struggle"
The Gazette de France complains that juries
are induced by the Liberals to 90 beyond their
proper functions, and recommends alterations in
the laws. The jurors, at late sessions of ASH
es, had made remonstrance against the infiic-
ton of capital punishments.
The same paper complains that, through the
Liberal presses, the Dey of Alsiers was regularly
appi;sed, from day to day, with minute accuracy,
of all the preparations made to attack him, and
the time when it is intended to make descent;
and asks whether this is one of the blessings of a
free press:
The Duchess of Goyaz, natural daughter Of
the Emperor of Brazil, aged six years, was daily
expected to arrive at Paris, where splendid apart
ments had been prepared for her accommodation,
and where she is to receive her education.
A telegraphic despatch from Toulon, of Feb
ruary 5th, announced that the sickness there had
changed its character, and was not contagious;
and that it was unnecessary for the Board Of
Health to adopt further measures of precaution.
A ball was given in Paris, at the Opera, in Fe-
bruary, for the benefit of the poor, under the ma
nagement of twenty -seven lady-patronesses and
thirty managers, of which the President was his
Royal Highness the Duke de Chartres. $500
tickets were issued, and 1850 francs gained
for the poor, after paying expenses.
NJ. de La Valette. whose romantic escape from
prison and death in 1915 is an historical incident,
died at his house in the rue Matignon, on the
18th ult. His funeral took place on the 18th.
A long train of mourners followed the procession
to the cemetery of Pere la Chaise, where Gene
raj Sebastiana delivered the following Grafton
over the grave:
"Farewell, La Valette! thy death alone could
separate two brothers in arms whose friendship
had its birth on the plains of Arcola and Rivoli.
At the period of our civil discord, thou didst
combat at Fleurus, before Landon, before May
ence. Thy fellow-citizens of all parties were
thy friends. In discharging the highest and most
delicate duties, thy devotion and thy fidelity pre-
served for thee the esteem of him who had given
thee his confidence. Under thy administration
freedom and frankness were never in danger
In thy person must respect the DEGREES of JUS
tice, happy at least to bless the clemency of the
Sovereign. Why was it that woman, the faith
full companion Of thy destiny, whose sublime
cor rouge gave thee second life, was not permit
ted to enjoy her own work, thy love, and thy gra-
titudes Dauntless warrior, incorruptible officer,
who didst come forth honorably frem the double
trial of prosperity and adversely, receive By the
voice of friend the homage of all who know
how to esteem public and private virtues"
The American ship Mary s. Susan, of 500 tons ar
