'1nc King heard riass in his apartment. His Alajesty presided at a Council of Alinisters which lasted two hours. A revolt on the part of the felons condemned to the gallies for life, rtt Toulon, had long since been apprehended, and measures had been taken to suppress it, if it broke out. On the 231 ult., at noon, at the moment that those ofthem who were enmployed upon the gTeund of Mourillon were cntering a shed tinder which they repose during suspension from labour, one of them, with a cutting instrument, struck the sergeant of the guard, who, finding himself attacked,drew his sword, and stretched the felon who had wounded him dead at his feet. This was the signal of revolt. They all rushed upon the guards? who, in defence, fired upon the assailants. Al. Reynaud, 42ommessary of Marine hastened to the spot, and order was prompt. ly restored. In this unfcortunate circumstance, lGiof the galley-slaves were killed, and several woundeti. AI. Nurtado, the Colombian Minister at London, has arrived in Paris, with his family; he alighted at the Hotel d'Orvillers, Rue de Rivoli. The King of Prussia, according to custom, has avoided the ho- mages of his natal anniversary. He went to the Isle des Paons, at the confluence of the Spree andi Havel, near Potsdam. It is a de- lightful retreat, in the midst of our plains of sand, where there is a superb collection of flowers, particularly of ToseS. The King, who much enjoys himself there, has lately emribellished it by purchasing, for 30,000 crovwns, a new collection of roses and exotic plants. It is also the favourite retreat of the Princess Royal, daughter of the King of Bavaria. There will be three caminps d'exercite this autumn in Silesia, near Brealat; in Prussia, near Konisberg; and in Poinerania. The troops of the garrison and Royal Gtuard of Berlin will also maneuvre in the vicinity of that capital. Therc are two remarkable things in the measure which we an- nounced in our last number-viz. the creation of a Minister for BEc- clesiasticat Affairs, aMd the choice of the Prelate appointed to this high function; both merit the gratitude of the clergy. The fonna- tion ot a special Ministry for Ecclesiastical Affairs has long been earnestly dssired by the friends of religion, and may lead to tesAlts of the highest importance to the Church of France. The pla;gue has appeared at Ator, in the Ioni in Islands. The Hirti Commissioner has re-establishled the sanatory laws previous- lyin force, in all their vigour. [From Calignani's ilfresenger.
