Viscount Chateaubriand, minister plenipotentiary of France to the Court of Berlin, is preparing to set out for his destination, his health being per fectly re-established. The Count de Gultx, the Prussian minister, left Paris on Tuesday night for Berlin. Letters from Bayonne state that the ecclesiastics flying from Spain continunc to arrive there. On the morning of the 2.5 th six capuchins reached that city. Next Sunday, Baron St. Vincent, and on Monday, Count Puss() di Borgo, will have an audience of king. We read in a journal of the day before yesterday, that the King's Attorney General at London, in compliance with the request of the Ministers of Rus. , ia, Austria, and Prussia, was to prosecute the editor of a newspaper, who compared the alliance of Alexander 1., Francis 11. and I. nx3erick William 111. to the triumvirate of Octavius, Lepidus, and Marcus Antonius. We (Gazelle dc France) have received the fol lowing accounts from Valenciennes :—" A terrible occurrence has spread consternation throughout this town. On the 4th init. at a quarter to 7 o'clock in the morning, a loud explosion was heard. It was soon announced that the Lisle gate, under which was a powder magazine, was on tire. Alarm in stantly became general, the inhabitants precipitately flying in all quarters to avoid the danger. The gar rison mustered under arms, and the mayor and his assistant (NI. Dinaux) and the sub-prefect of Douay, _ repaired to the spot without delay, snd, by their presence. contributed to maintain order. Some bombs and grenades exploded from time to time.— About eleven o'clock the four towers of the gate. in tvhich were a considerable quantity of arms, gave way. Happily, the flumes had not penetrated to the subterranean magazine; from whence at this perilous moment, some powder was taken out and conveyed to the citadel. At the hour at which I write this the danger is over, but not the alarm One man only has been killed : it is thonght the deceased is the individual who imprudently caused the fire. A thousand conjectures are advanced on this point, The loss is immense. The lead, iron, and brass, formed a frightful torrent of burning lava. Of this immense edifice, there only remain the walls, which are expected to fall every instant. Thus a monument of the 14th century, which has resisted several memorable sieges, has fallen in a few hours ! We learn from Stockholm that the son of King Charles Juhn is attacked by a malady which causes alannfor his life. PARIS, JUNE 9.-I%4:At Sunday his Majesty will give a grand•diuner to the diplomatic corps, at the castle of the Tuilleries, at which the Duke d'Es cars, first Master of the King's Household, will pt eside. Letters from Naples state, that the Duke of Bla cas d'Aulps, Ambassador from France to the Holy See, will prolong his stay at Naples, being charged with a dip!omatic mission to that government. Letters from Naples state, 80,000 Austrians are about to embark for Sicily. Very important intelligence has been received from' Smyrna. Insurrect►ons against the Turks have broken out in various parts of Asia-Minor, which appear to be connected with the hostile oc currences in the Nlorea. They have not been without much alarm at Smyrna for the safety of several establishments, as very tumultuous scenes have twice taken place. It is even affirmed that conflicts occurred in some of the principal streets of that extensive city; but the details are not g.ven. it i. also said that very serious disorders have taken place in the island of Cyprus, the ioha • bitants of which have hitherto been remarkable for their fidelity to the Ottoman Porte. According to assurances which we have received, two foreign officers of artillery direct the operations of the the Greeks in the Nlorea. A letter from Corfu announces that many English--enthusiasts in the cause of the Greeks—have enrolled themselves under their banners. lt is confirmed that the Ar nauts have deserted from the army of the Mucha of the Nlorea to the Greeks. This desertion has con- siderably weakened the Pacha's force. In fact, all the troops in that quarter, with the exception of the Turkish, declare for the insurgents. :Jome persons assert that prince Alexander Ypsi lanti has fled ; but it is not said what direction he has taken. His brother Demetrius is at Odessa. The ex-Grand Vizier, Ali Jthiga Pacha, who was exiled to Gallipoli, is appointed to the com mand of the force destined against the rebels of the Morea. 1t:111.111liERG, Alta 3.—A confirmation has been received from Venice that Ali, formerly Pacha of Janina, has been strangled by his principal confi dants, among whom was Waga, his Secretary. '• •. , .• THE NATIONAL REGISTER TRIESTE, MAY 28.—Intelligence from Smyrna states that several insurrections, which are in con nexion with the events in the Greek islands have broken out against the Turks on the coast of Asia Minor. Apprehensions are entertained for several of the establishments at Smyrna, since there have been, it is said, two revolts already, and some bloodshed in that city. Some disturbances have also taken place in the island of Cyprus, which hitherto has been faithful to the Turkish govern ment. We are assured that two officers of great ability direct the military operations of the Greeks in the Morea. According to a letter from Corfu, several English have entered the Greek ranks with enthusiasm. The junction of the Arnauts with the Greeks is confirmed ; the Pacha of the Morea in consequence loses the greatest part of his army. MADRID, MAY 28 —An amnesty is spoken of for those condemned on account of the revolt at Alva, and other provinces, where the insurrection broke out before the passing of the new law against infractions of the constitution. The tribunals of Saragossa have given judgment on the persons guilty of sedition on the 14th May, 1820. An ecclesiastic has been sentenced to two years' seclusion in a convent ; a labourer to death ; and three other persons to three years in the galleys. M. Sacurino, lieutenant of a Neapolitan vessel, wrote to the Cortes that he had entered the port of Barcelona with a drip of war, armed with twelve pieces of artillery, and filled with emigrants, He offered his vessel to the nation: The crew and its leader offered their services to Spain, This petition gave rise to some discussion. The Cortes declared that they had beard the sentiments of the petitioners with satisfaction, A new troop of Guerillas have shewn themselves at the gates of Espinosa. Some companies have been sent against them. VIENNA, MAY 27.—1 t has been asserted during several days past, that a Diplomatic Congress will be formed in this capital, to deliberate upon the at= faits of Turkey. Intelligence from Lemberg, dated the 22d May, states:—General movements of the troops have taken place in the Southern Provinces of the Rus sian empire. The regiments of the Imperial Guard arrived at Witepski on the Bth and following days. The Polish army has also received orders to hold itself in readiness to march. It is thought its des tination is for the frontiers of Moldavia. NAPLES, MAY 22.---On the 20th inst. the King went, in grand state, to the Church Del Carmino Maggiore, to offer thanks to the Most High, for his happy return. The people united their prayers to those of the Monarch ; and, with an unanimous voice, prayed Heaven to preserve the august dy. nasty of the Bourbons. FLANDERS MAIL. LILLE, Jaws s.—At a moment when all the powers of the north of Europe have formidable armies on foot, and which are even unproportioned to the population and their revenue, France has not an army which she can shew with confidence either to her friends or to her enemies ; it is even doubtful whether it will be complete on the peace establishment by the end of the year. The only corps which have attained their full compliment are, the Royal Guard, the Swiss regiments, form ing together a total of 10,000 men, and the legion of the Prince of Hohenloe, composed of 2,400 men ; all the corps of the army, artillery, cavalry, and infantry, are very far frorq being on the footing fixed by the ordinances. Since the events of the month of August last, many officers who were in active service have been placed on half-pay, and a great number of subal terns, the term of whose service was expired, have asked their discharge. The levy of 40,000 men, whivh is now going on, is indeed to serve to fill up the regiments, but they are young soldiers, which it would take some time to form. In general most of the old soldiers accustomed to make war in the north and south of Europe, cannot accustom them selves to the state of repose which they enjoy; the military spirit which gave birth to so many heroic actions subsides but slowly. The rich dotations, the military decorations, the rapid promotions which took place when the army was decimated every year, all this exists no longer, and cannot return. A garrison life appears dull to those old soldiers who have been accustomed to traverse Europe, to treat with all rigour of the right of conquests, and to enrich themselves at the expence of the unfortunate inhabitants. Some officers have gone to join the insurgent Greeks, but the number of those is in considerable : the juurney is long, their future prospect uncertain, and most of them are destitute of the means necess..ry to go to Turkey. Aucisausu, Male 28.—A part of the Servians are in fact in arms. Some of their chiefs are at their head ; they are those whose lives were in danger, and who were to have been beheaded at Belgrade, whither d. , were invited to repair. v.___._._.~... _~:.._ The fact, however, is, that there has been no hosti lities between the Servians and the Turks who are stationed in the fortresses of that country. _ _ The insurrection which was said to have broken out in Bulgaria is of no consequence. There are besides so many Ottoman troops in that province, that it would be impossible fur the Greeks to make the slightest attempt. The inhabitants of a few villages have fled into the mountains, because they fear the vengeance of the Turks. FROM THE BANKS Of THE DANUBE, MAY 21 The Pacha of the Morea has applied to the English government of the lonian islands, complaining in the strongest terms that ammunition of all kinds, and even cannon, has been sent to the rebels. He has threatened to employ the most rigorous meu sures against the English commerce, and to confis cate the property of the English in his power, unless proceedings so hostile are put an end to. It is af firmed that the Pacha has sent a circumstantial ac count to Constantinople. It is in consequence of these remonstrances that injunctions were issued, not only to the inhabitants of the lonian islands, but to all lonians inhabiting Turkey, not to take any part, or to favour in any manner, any insurrection against the Ottoman Porte; all under threats of some penalties. It is believed, however, that this order will be exe cuted. DARMSTADT, JUNE 2.—The negotiations for establishing a commercial alliance in the south of Germany continue. The ministers and plenipoten. tiaries of the states who propose to form this alli ance had their seventh sitting on the 28th May. LEIPSIC, MAIr 29.—Our fair, which is BOW finished, may be called a tolerably good fair. There were not many Greeks ; but the merchants from Brody and some Russians made large purchases of silks and other expensive articles. The English had, on the whole, a good fair, though some sold large quantities of goods very cheap. The wool fair is now begun. Fine wool, being employed in so many articles of an expensive nature, maintains last year's prices. The stone (221 b.) has been sold hitherto at 84 to 40 rix dollars. Middling wool is the cheapest iu proportion. Coarse wool maintains its price. Accounts from Frankfort to the Rd inst. state, that according to the letters received there from the frontiers of Turkey, great exertions were beginning to be made to fortify the weaker points of Constan tinople, and that all the troops composing the gar rison of that capital were employed on the works.— The strongest place. it is added of the Morca, is that of Napoli, called Malvoisin, whence the wine of the neighbourhood takes the name of Malvoisin, and it is now besieged by a fleet, the Admiral of which is a Greek heroine. She is called Fabling. Her husband, who was Captain of a vessel, was killed some time ago by tke Turks; five of her sons were also massacred by, the inhabitants. Among the Greek squadron there are seven vessels, the property of this lady. She has signified to the Turks tut the person who summons them is a Grecian, and that she was animated with generous sentiments ; that in case of submission, she would guarantee to them their lives ; but if they were obstinate in making resistance, she would put them all to the sword: This appears to be the same Amazon of whom we had before some accounts. Papers from New York to the 19th ultimo, have arrived. Advises from St. Domingo to the end of April had been received at New York. The presi dent, Buyer, is establishing himself firmly in his late acquisition, the territory of his rival Christophe, and giving the best proof of his really possessing power by his magnanimity to those who oppose him. General Romani, one of the leaders of Chris tophe, having been impeached Ity the rest of the officers, fur attempting to corrupt some of the regi ments, was sentenced to banishment only. The sentence, however, gave rise to a mutiny in two of the regiments; but it was suppressed almost im mediately. The ringleaders of the mutiny were brought to trial, and found guilty; but the punish ment of death was inflicted ou very few of them.— An order of the day was issued, erasing the names of those regiments from the list of his army. ExPLostosi.—On the of May, a fatal accident happened from au explosion of fire damp in a coal mine, at Scraing, near Liege, in the kingdom of the Nether. lands. M. Nlicita, a master mariner, hating descended to a part of the works 251 ells deep, proceeded with 26 workmen to follow the course of a new vein. They had not gone far, when a slight detonation was heard, and a tttttt ute afterwards, tot CUM! Vet y violent one, and at the same time almost the whole of the gallery tell in with a dreadlul crash. The retreat of the workmen being thus cut oti, an attempt was made front above to retinue the earth that had laden in, but tins was inuatil impractica ble, as fresh stones and earth continued io descend as fast as the ruins were cleared away. it was requisite, therefore, to open a new way through the solid stratum, which could not but be accomplished till after forty-five hours iticessant labours. Tins new passage was con ducted with great judgment, for it led to the precise spot where the accident had happened; twenty-three of the workmen were hound, but unha ppily all quite dead. The four others had not been Mind. . ,~ Ift •
