EUROPE.

FRANCE.

A PARTIAL change has just taken place in the ministry of Louis, which seems to mark the ascendancy of the Constitutionalists, or moderate party, in the French Cabinet. The Duke de Feltre (Marshal Clarke) has been permitted to resign the office of Minister of War, and Marshal Gouvion St Cyr is appointed in his place; whilst Count Molle becomes Minister of Marine in the room of St Cyr. Marshal Davoust also, who, since the capitulation of Paris, has been in disgrace at the Thuilleries, was lately presented to the King, and received from his hands the baton of a Marshal; and General Debelle, condemned to death for his adherence to Bonaparte on his return from Elba, whose sentence was afterwards changed to ten years' imprisonment, has now been restored to liberty by a full pardon from the King. We are now told also, that the Royal Family pay the most marked attention to the family of the Duke of Orleans, who, till very lately, seemed to be the object of suspicion and jealousy at the French Court; and that there appears a studied design of impressing upon the people of France an idea that he stands well with the reigning branch of the House of Bourbon.

These conciliatory measures are viewed with jealousy by a certain class of politicians, who imagine they perceive through them a latent ambition on the part of Louis, that may at no distant period prove as dangerous as that of his predecessor in government. But it is surely too much to presume, because the French King is pursuing a policy calculated to engage the affections of his army, that therefore he must be contemplating schemes of ambition and conquest.

The negociations between Louis and the See of Rome have terminated in a new concordat to regulate the affairs of the Gallican Church. By this convention a suitable provision is to be made by the French Government in State Annuities for the different Roman Sees, &c. The intention of this measure is said to be to restore its ancient splendour to religion; but its policy is certainly a little more questionable than that of those we have just alluded to.

M. Talleyrand Perigord, grand almoner of France, (now appointed archbishop of

VOL. I.

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 Moniteur contains an ordinance for regulating the Peerage, of France, with respect to the amount of properties and the classification of titles. No person, ecclesiastics excepted, can in future acquire a seat in the Upper Chamber, unless he be possessed of an hereditary estate, amounting, in the case of a Duke, to 30,000 francs (L. 1350 Sterling); of a Marquis or Count, to 20,000 francs (L. 900); and of a Baron or Viscount, to 10,000 francs (L. 450). These estates thus created shall be transmissible with the title in perpetuity in the male line, by order of primogeniture, and will, therefore, secure the respectability and independence which should belong to the Peerage as a constituent part of the legislature.

The King of Prussia, travelling under the name of Count Ruppin, left Paris on the 30th ult. after having spent three weeks in that capital. His Majesty has furnished the first example upon historical record of a reigning sovereign visiting the capital of another kingdom, and mixing apparently so much at his ease in the society of its inhabitants as a private gentleman. The ramblings of Peter the Great were of a dif ferent description.

The authenticity of the document, parporting to be a protest of the Archduchess Maria Louisa, against the occupation of the throne of France by the Bourbons, has been pointedly denied by the Austrian Observer, an official journal, published at Vi

enna.

Desbans and Chayoux, two soldiers of the Royal Guard, who had been found guilty of a conspiracy to murder the two Princes, sons of Monsieur, were shot at Paris on the 6th, and displayed a degree of heroic fortitude which would have done honour to a better cause. Chayoux, when informed that he was struck off from the Legion of Honour, and des red to deliver up the insignia of the order, to avoid such a degradation, immediately tore off the ribbon and cross, and swallowed them; and Desbans, having previously obtained permission, gave the word "fire!" to the picquet who were ap pointed their executioners.

SPAIN AND PORTUGAL.

The King of Spain has issued a code of instructions for the trial of the insurgents in South America who may fall into the power of the Royal troops. Eight classes of criminals, as they are called, are designated to be punished with death, and repeated injunctions are given to execute the punishment with promptness, " to retain the inhabitants within the bounds of obedience." It is painful to contemplate the consequences of this sanguinary measure, inconsistent alike with humanity and good policy. The Patriots, on whom this severity is to be exercised, will doubtless, in their own defence, resort to acts of retaliation, and it follows of course, that this unhappy contest will assume all the horrors of a war of extermination.

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.

The Archduchess Leopoldine has at length sailed for the Brazils, manifesting the confidence entertained by the Courts of Vienna and Rio Janeiro in the security and tranquillity of the Portuguese possessions in South America.

NETHERLANDS.

The King of the Netherlands has appointed Commissioners to negociate a commercial treaty with the United States of America. The conferences on the subject have been opened at the Hague.

- An action brought by the Duke of Wellington against the Editor of the Flanders Journal, came on for trial before the Tribunal of Ghent on the 1st instant; and after the Court had taken a week to consider of its judgment, his Grace's complaint was declared to be unfounded, and he was ordained to pay the expences of the suit. The sentence expresses the grounds on which it has been pronounced, which are, that the libel was not calculated to expose the Duke to the consequences of a criminal or correc tional action, or to the contempt and hatred of the public. The allegation contained in the article of which his Grace complained was, that, in consequence of his powerful recommendations, a person had been continued in the Government of a certain colony, because of his having administered the Government for the interests of Great Britain. The Duke has appealed against the sentence.

GERMANY.

The formation of a free representative constitution for the Duchy of Holstein has been again postponed. It is more than probable, that, as in Prussia, the project will be finally adjourned sine dic.-There seems to be an almost general inclination, on the part of the continental Sovereigns,

to disappoint those expectations of an ame liorated form of Government, which were held out to their subjects in the hour of peril.

A circular letter has been addressed by the Prussian Minister of the Interior to the evangelical clergy of both confessions in the Prussian dominions, intimating the King's desire, that the words Protestant, Lutheran, or any o:her denominations which designate particular sects of the Reformed religion, should cease to be used, and that they should be superseded by the word Evangelical. The object of this communication is to correct all feelings of asperity in the dif ferent sects, and, by removing all nominal distinctions, to cultivate a spirit of general harmony and mutual indulgence.

A new scheme of finance has been prepared for the kingdom of Hanover, which is distinguished by the establishment of ari income tax. The rate is very low, not being more than one per cent. from the revenue of personal gain, and one and a half from the revenue of real property.

In consequence of an official note of the allied powers, addressed to the Swiss Charge d'Affaires at Paris, the Federal Directory of Switzerland have called upon the Cantons to send away the French exiles residing there, who are allowed only to reside in the states of Austria, Russia, or Prussia.

The accounts from different parts of Germany and the north of Europe concur in stating that the prospect of abundance, held out by the harvest, is altogether unexampled. 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.

In one of the counties (of Hungary, a case has been produced by nature, which furnishes the Hungarian lawyers with an opportunity to exercise their ingenuity. On a steep declivity upon the river Hernath lay two vineyards, one above the other; the higher one detached itself from the rock, and glided down the declivity upon the lower vineyard, which it now entirely covers. The question is, who is the owner of this vineyard, and who is to be considered the loser?

SWEDEN, NORWAY, AND DENMARK. The accounts from Sweden, received through the German papers, sufficiently prove the folly and inefficacy of the anticommercial system adopted by the Swedish Government. The Swedes, notwithstanding their late 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. Several vessels introducing

prohibited foreign goods have been seized in different parts of the kingdom, but in every city the articles continue to be sold, and at 50 per cent. above the prices obtained previous to the prohibition. Coffee, one of the principal articles, is to be had, as usual, at every inn. It seems that drinking coffee only is prohibited, and this is ingeniously avoided by calling it soup, and cating it with a spoon.

The stagnation of trade has been so great in Norway, as to occasion the failure of several eminent houses at Drontheim and Christiana, while the extinction of the ancient and customary relations of commerce has given rise to smuggling, 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. The Norwegian army consists of 1288 artillery, 1070 cavalry, and 9612 infantry. By the addition of the militia, a total can be formed of 26,515 men.

The Danish government is making extraordinary exertions for the re-establishment 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 Categat.

RUSSIA AND TURKEY.

The accounts from Russia represent that country as cultivating the relations of peace with all its neighbours. On the Persian frontier the army of observation has been considerably diminished; the force still kept up being merely sufficient to repress the incursions of the wandering tribes of Caucasus. The differences with the Turks are likely also to be soon composed, and an important negociation is spoken of as being on foot at Constantinople, for engaging the Porte to allow the free navigation of the Dardanelles to ships paying a moderate toll

The Emperor Alexander is on the eve of quitting Petersburgh for the long period of eighteen months. His Imperial Majesty will pass the winter between the two capitals of Moscow and Warsaw; after which he proposes to inspect or traverse the southem provinces of his immense dominions. 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.

A convention has, it is said, been coneluded, through the intervention of England, between the Porte and the See of Rome, 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 Lafin, have already been printed.

At Constantinople a plot has been discovered, of which the aga of the Janissaries is supposed to have been the author. He was removed to a strong castle, and there he died-how, need not be told to those who understand the expeditious treatment of rebels in Turkey. The Grand Seignor, it is said, has expressed a determination to destroy the formidable power of the Janissaries; a project, the execution of which will certainly be attended with some difficulty and danger.

The famous partizan, Czerney Georges, formerly chief of the Servian insurrection against the Ottoman Porte, has been seized by the Pacha of Belgrade and beheaded, A dispatch from the Austrian Commandant of Semlin, giving an account of this event, states, that Georges had gone to Semendria under a false name, and concealed himself there in the house of a friend; and that the object of this hazardous step was to recover a treasure of 50,000 ducats, which he had hid before quitting Servia, and with which he now designed to retire into Russia. The friend, however, in whom he trusted, was either weak or wicked enough to denounce him to the Pacha of Belgrade, who immediately came to Semendria with an escort of Janissaries, arrested Georges, and also a Greek who accompa nied him, made them be beheaded, and sent their heads to Constantinople.

The plague has been raging in a very alarming degree at Constantinople. The hospitals are said to be filled; and the interpreter of the Grand Seignor has been infected by one of his domestics. The intelligence from Smyrna and Candia, with respect to the progress of the contagion in these quarters, is said to be not less distressing.

The Turkish capital has also been the scene of two alarming conflagrations. A fire broke out in the city on the 7th July, which, notwithstanding the presence of the Grand Seignor, and the greatest exertions made to arrest its progress, destroyed the greater part of that quarter of the city inhabited by the Armenians.-And, on the 25th of August, one of the powder-mills behind the Seven Towers blew up with a tremendous explosion: eight lives were lost. Fortunately the fire did not communicate to the magazines of powder, and by prompt exertions its farther ravages were stayed.

ASIA.

EAST INDIES.

Letters have been received from Bengal to the 21st May, which communicate the interesting intelligence, that, since the fall of fort Hatrass, the British troops had taken eleven other forts from the enemy, which, according to advices received at
