Europe.

FRANCE.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

THE French government has of late seemed anxious to conciliate the old army: an ordnance was recently issued, by which the officers of the revolutionary army on half-pay are, without distinction, to be gradually introduced into active service. Marshal Davoust, who, since Bonaparte's second expulsion, has been in disgrace at court, had lately an audience of the king, and was by him presented with a marshal's baton; and General Debelle, whose sentence of death was commuted to ten years' imprisonment, has now been restored to liberty. These measures seem to indicate an intention, on the part of France, to place her army once more in a formidable attitude. They will at least have the effect of making more secure the allegiance of the old troops, who, without their officers, are not always to be depended on; an example of which occurred on the 18th July, when a detachment of the line, attending the execution of Captain Oudin at St Genies, who had been ordered to be shot for being concerned in a former insurrection, wheeled about, and refused to fire for such alarming insubordination, they have been one and all dismissed the king's service. Capt. Darillon, who commanded them, has also been cashiered, and is further to be tried by a court-martial.

Five soldiers of the Royal Guard have been brought to trial for a conspiracy, in April last, to murder Monsieur and his two sons. The chief, a non-commissioned offieer, named Desbans, and another, were condemned and executed; a third is to be imprisoned for three years, and the other two were acquitted. The conspirators were all under 25 years of age.

Five English soldiers were convicted of a robbery on the 3d of August, at Valenciennes, and led out to execution; upon which occasion the inhabitants were so interested for the unhappy sufferers, that they followed them to the place of execution, crying Mercy, mercy. Two were executed, and three received a pardon; after which the inhabitants wreaked their vengeance on the person who had been induced to officiate as executioner. He was in consequence compelled to take refuge in the prison.

In the Concordat entered into between the Pope and the King of France, it is agreed, on the part of the latter, that the bishoprics shall be endowed with lands as well as with annual stipends, and the same principle is evidently intended to be adopt

ed, whenever circumstances may permit, in the endowment of the Chapters, the Rectories, and in short the whole Church establishment. M. Talleyrand Perigord, grand almoner of France (now appointed, archbishop of Paris), M. de la Luzerne, formerly bishop of Langres, and M. de Beausset, formerly bishop of Alais, have been created cardinals. Several new appointments to archbishoprics and bishoprics are also notified.

The King of Prussia has just left Paris, after sojourning there incog. under the title of Count Ruppin, for several weeks. During his stay he was daily entertained by the principal public characters with much hospitality, but without state or magnificence, and spent most of his time in visiting every thing about the city worthy of the traveller's notice.

The document noticed in our last Number, purporting to be a protest of the ExEmpress Maria Louisa against the occupation of the throne of France by the Bourbons, has been declared by the Austrian Observer to be a forgery.

SPAIN AND PORTUGAL.

The Pope has issued a bull, authorizing the King of Spain to levy an extraordinary subsidy of 30 millions of reals on the property of the national church.

A letter which appeared lately in the foreign journals, written by the mother of the Emperor Alexander to the King of Spain, expressive of the esteem and friendship entertained by her son for the King of Spain, and communicating the Emperor's desire that her Majesty should wear the decorations of the Order of St Catherine's, has given rise to much spe culation on the particularly good understanding which appears to exist between the Courts of Madrid and St Petersburg; and rumours, for which there seems to be no good foundation, have in consequence been current, that it had been agreed upon by Alexander to furnish Ferdinand with a naval and military force to assist in the subjugation of his revolted colonies.

Letters from Lisbon, of the 9th August, state, that Baron Eben, and about thirty other conspirators, having been found guilty, were expected to be ordered for execu

tion.

The proceedings on their trials have been withheld from publication, for the present, from prudential considerations. It was generally understood at Lisbon, however, that the Government there felt so perfectly secure since the late intelligence from Pernambuco, that the danger of giving full

publicity to the conspiracy in Portugal was considered to be at an end.

ITALY.

A Florence paper, of the 22d of July, contains an article, dated Rome, July 16, in which it is stated that her Royal High ness the Princess of Wales had just given a magnificent fete, equally remarkable for the brilliancy of the illuminations, the sump tuousness of the refreshments, and the charms of the best selected music, vocal and instrumental. Many of the most distinguished of the Roman and foreign nobles were present. Her Royal Highness has since left Rome for Bologna.

Letters from Naples state, that the vicinity has been cleared from the brigands, who have long infested it in a curious manner. The Neapolitan government has taken into full pay and actual service, two of the ring leaders, who have promised to make all their followers good subjects.

The old king of Sardinia has taken a monastic habit, and gives himself up wholly to religious exercises.

GERMANY.

The accounts from different parts of Germany concur in stating, that never in the memory of man were there such prospects of abundance as those held out by the harvest, which is now gathering in. Corn, wine, oil, and every article of subsistence, fall rapidly in price. But in some districts, the general joy has been damped by storms of rain and hail, which have done considerable damage to the corn fields. The harvest has been so abundant in the south of Germany, as to make wheat almost unsaleable at any price ;-a blessed revolution, when, within these three months, it was almost at any price unattainable.

The royal national theatre of Berlin was destroyed by fire on the 29th July; so rapid were the flames, that it was impossible to save any thing; and it was only by the ac tivity of the firemen and police, that two churches between which the theatre stood, as well as the neighbouring houses, did not also become a prey to the flames. The dam age is estimated at about a million and a half of crowns. The building was 244 feet long, 155 broad, and 155 high, within the walls. The fire which destroyed it is believed to have been wilful; and twelve persons, suspected as the incendiaries, have been apprehended.

An extraordinary circumstance occurred during the late inundations in Switzerland. A large manufactory of tiles, situate near the village of Fleuden, was entirely surrounded by water, which at length made its way into magazines full of lime. In an instant the whole edifice was on fire; the owners had previously quitted it, and as no as sistance could be afforded, it was burned, in the midst of water, down to the level of it.

いや

The Editor of one of the Flemish news. papers was prosecuted on the 1st instant, at Ghent, at the instance of the Duke of Wel lington, for having asserted that an officer in one of the French colonies owed his appointment to the influence of his Grace. The King's Attorney prayed, that the accused should be sentenced to one month imprisonment, and a fine of 300 florins, and deprivation of civil and political rights for five years. The court took a week to consider of its judgment, which they have since given for the defendant.

SWEDEN.

The folly and ruinous consequences of the prohibitory system adopted by the Swed ish Government against the introduction of foreign manufactures and colonial articles, are severely felt, both in Sweden and Nor way. The cessation of native with foreign competition, and of the long-established interchange of national products and commercial commodities, has materially increased the general distress of the country. The evils caused by the system are also aggra. vated by the harsh and overbearing interference of the government in mercantile transactions, and more particularly in the rates of exchange. The stagnation of trade has been so great in Norway, as to occasion the failure of several eminent houses at Drontheim and Christiania, while the ex. tinction of the ancient and customary relations of commerce has given rise to smug gling, which, it is not concealed, is carried on by the rich capitalists, to the detriment and ruin of the middling and inferior classes of traders. Numerous seizures have been made of vessels carrying on a contraband trade. The Swedes, notwithstanding their patriotic speeches on the evils resulting from the use of foreign luxuries, seem just as reluctant as the inhabitants of other countries to part with their accustomed enjoyments.

According to a table, describing the civil state of Sweden, 344 children at the breast, were, during the year 1814, smothered by their mothers or nurses while asleep; and in the following year, 369 died through this kind of imprudence.

DENMARK.

The Danish government is making extraordinary exertions for the re-establish ment of its navy. A new ship of the line has been launched, two new frigates are finished, and two brigs recently constructed are stationed in the Categate.

RUSSIA.

The latest accounts from Russia repre sent that country as cultivating the relations of peace with all its neighbours. To this state of security may be ascribed the extensive reductions of the Russian army. It ap pears that the Court of Petersburgh is nego tiating an important measure with the Q

toman government, the free navigation of the Dardanelles, upon the payment of a stipulated toll.

The Emperor Alexander is about to quit his capital for eighteen months. Part of the winter he will pass at Moscow, and part at Warsaw. He then intends to visit the southern provinces of his empire, those at least which are civilized, or are capable of civilization. Much good may result from this journey, if his Imperial Majesty carries with him the disposition to rectify abuses, and introduce judicious systems of administration throughout those distant regions.

TURKEY.

We learn, from Constantinople, that in consequence of the satisfactory explanations between the Russian Ambassador and the Ministers of the Grand Signior, the Baron de Strogonoff is about to order the erection of the palace intended for the Russian legation, for which the Emperor Alexander has just granted the necessary funds.

Through the intervention of England a convention has been concluded between the Holy See and the Porte, which secures more liberty to the Christians established in Turkey. In consequence of this convention, printing presses have been established at Constantinople, under the direction of an Italian. Several works in Italian, French, and Latin, have already been printed.

It appears, from more than one article, that Czerny-Georges, formerly so well known as the leader of the Servians in their resistance to Turkey, has been put to death by the Governor of Belgrade. The pretence for this action is differently stated, but there can be little doubt that the motive was criminal. Czerny-Georges had lately lived in retirement. The Servians, however, who do not yet patiently bear the Turkish yoke, might be supposed desirous of calling him into action: his death was evidently wished by the Turkish government, for his head has been sent to Constantinople, together with those of two of his friends, one of them an Archimandrite of the Greek Church.

A famous leader of pirates, named Catramatto, who was conveyed to Constantinople in the beginning of May, from Negropont, in a Turkish brig, has been hung by order of the government of Galata, and six or seven sailors' suffered at the same time, as an example to deter others from the like offences. As Catramatto was a native of the Ionian Islands, and no English interpreter attended at the trial, the circumstance of 'his condemnation has given rise to some explanatory interviews between the British Minister and the agents of the Sublime Porte.

Eleven pirates were lately executed at Constantinople in the following manner :-They began by hanging one before the shops of the market, and left him exposed three days, after which they hanged a seVOL. I.

cond, and so on with the others. The execution thus lasted for thirty-three days.

America.

UNITED STATES.

By the latest American papers, it appears that the negotiations relative to the boundary between the British Colonies in North America and the United States, had not commenced; the British Commissioners not being fully prepared for entering upon it. The Americans were in the mean time going on with a trigonometrical survey on that frontier. It is said that the two governments have come to an understanding, that neither power is to retain in actual service more than two revenue cutters of two guns each on the lakes, and that six months notice is to be given of any intention to augment this force on either side.

The Official Journal of the United States' Government mentions, that the Commissioners of the navy, in addition to the duty of directing the necessary surveys preparatory to the selection of a suitable site for a naval depot and dock-yard on the Northern coast, are also charged with the general survey of the coast; and that, with a view to the instruction of young officers, the vessels employed in the survey are to be wholly manned by them.

The emigration from Europe, according to the last American papers, was particularly extensive in the last week of July. In this short interval, there had arrived at New York, from England, 649 persons.—Ireland, 581-Scotland, 137-Wales, 51,--and France, 31; making, in the whole, with additions from other situations, 2285 emigrants. The Dutch ship, Johanna, alone, had 477 emigrants from Amsterdam, fifty of whom perished on the passage. General Vandamine and his brother officers have been treated with great civility at Philadel phia.

Joseph Bonaparte has purchased of S. Sayer, Esq. formerly Sheriff of London, his elegant seat at Bordentown, on the Jersey side of the Delaware, which he is rebuilding in the Italian style. His income is about £6000 per annum; and he passes his time chiefly in his library, and in retire

ment.

BRITISH AMERICA.

Distressing Fire at Newfoundland. On Wednesday, the 18th August, between eleven and twelve, A. M. a most destructive fire broke out at Carbonear, on the premises occupied by a person named Barry: the wind blew a heavy gale from the westward, which scattered the flaining fragments like a shower over the town. The Methodist Chapel (nearly half a mile from the spot where it commencedy was in a few moments totally consumed, from some of the burning 40
