On the 16th inst. in the discussion of the Budget, in the Chamber of Deputies, the sum of 22,600,000 fr. was granted for the established Clergy of the Church of Rome; and that of 600,000 fr. for the Protestant Clergy, with the addition of 60,000fr. for the repair of Protestant Churches. "The Protestant religion," said the Minister of the Interior," is organised in fifty departments of France; it is celebrated in 200 churches or places of worship, the greater part of which are in want of repair. There are many places where, for want of churches, the service of religion is celebrated in the open air." Some disturbances have occurred at Brest, of a character similar to those which agitated the capital; but at Brest, as at Paris, the active zeal and energy of the troops quickly dispersed the rioters, and restored tranquillity. The towns of Caen and Rennes were also disturbed for some short time with the cries of Vive l'Empereur! A bas Louis! Some persons have been arrested. On the 18th Louis XVIII. was waited upon by a deputation from the Municipality of Paris, with an Address expressive of their loyalty and attachment, which concluded with these words: "Sire, clemency is in your heart, prudence in your counsels; but it is by justice and firmness that States are maintained." To this his Majesty made the following reply: · "I am sensibly affected with the sentiments which you have expressed to me in the name of my good City of Paris, on an occasion at once so afflicting and auspicious. Agitators, unworthy of being Frenchmen, have dared, in order to excite commotions, to abuse the name of that Charter which is dearer to me than to them. Disasters have resulted from their conduct which I deeply deplore; but these efforts have only had the effect of displaying the good discipline of my troops and the attachment of my subjects; and especially of that populous suburb in which I so often witness such warm demonstrations of love to the laws, and, I may venture to say, to my person. Assure the inhabitants of the capital of my regard towards them; and of my constant care to maintain that tranquillity, now so happily re-established, and which I hope will not in future be disturbed." The Courier Français states, that the theatre of Nantz has been closed by authority; and several provincial journals mention reports of tumults that have taken place in various parts of France. The Gazette de France says, that a very extraordinary appeal has been made to the French Tribunals, by a man named J. Castel, who was a merchant in Hamburgh, while it was in the hands of the French. This man says, that he was employed by the General commanding there to get English Bank-notes to the value of 50002. discounted, which turned out to be forged; and he was consequently obliged to fly from Hamburgh. · He now says that Savary (Duke of Rovigo) and Desnouettes (head of Buonaparte's Police) were the fabricators of these notes; that they employed persons to spread them in England, one of whom was seized by the London Police, and hanged. SPAIN. - Don Raphael Riego has published a letter, in which he states, that when the King appointed him to the rank of Major General, he declined the preferment in the following manner : -"I resolved to relieve your Majesty, and other nations, from the chains which ignorance and egotism have forged; the result having been what I aimed at the establishment of civil liberty my ambition is satiated. The rank of Lieutenant-Colonel suffices me, and that which your Majesty would confer might create jealousy. My King is happy-my country is free; be this my sole reward.". His Majesty would not accept the refusal; and Riego s'ates, that he repeatedly urged it to the Minister of the War Department, from whom he received the following dispatch, dated Madrid, the 12th instant: -"I have laid before the King the fourth refusal that your very laudable moderation (which is so well allied to your merit) has induced you to make; and his Majesty orders me to inform you, that the country requiring your services in the post of Major-General of the national armies, to which his Royal goodness has raised you, he does not think proper to accept your refusal of it; which I communicate to you by his Majesty's command, for your information and satisfaction." "This being the case," concludes Riego, "that my conduct may not be mistaken for pride, or some ill-disposed person represent it to his Majesty as obstinate disobedience, I have resolved to accept the rank with which his Majesty honours me, and in which I shall be equally the defender of the nation and of the King." It is stated in the Madrid papers of the 13th of June, that about forty of the newly elected deputies assemble daily in Madrid, and have come to the resolution of proposing to the Cortes to proceed by criminal process against the sixtynine Deputies who, in 1814, demanded of the King that the Constitution should be abolished; but that should these sixtynine Deputies be condemned to death, they would then induce the Cortes to re: commend to the King to commute the punishment. GERMANY. In the night of 21st March, a part of the mountain upon which the village of Strow in Bohemia was built, detached itself from the mass on twenty-three houses and two churches; sixteen were overthrown, and are in ruins. This accident appears to have been prepared by the wet seasons which preceded the present, and to have been principally caused in the last instance by the heavy snow of the winter. RUSSIA. An article, dated Hamburgh, the 13th inst. says, "His Majesty the Emperor of Russia has addressed a Declaration to all the European Courts, relative to the late political changes in Spain." Accounts from St. Petersburg inform us, that on the 24th of May last a fire broke out in the Imperial Palace on Zankajeselo (situate about 14 English miles from the capital), which consumed a great part of that splendid edifice, together with the academy founded by the present Emperor. His Majesty was present during this painful scene, and animated the exertions of the engineers and military in extinguishing the flames. "Mudras, Feb. 5. The expedition fitted out from Batavia on a grand scale for the reduction of Palambang, had arrived in the river, and made an attack on the batteries and defences of the Sultan on the 21st of October last; but had been beaten off with a loss of one thousand Europeans. The following is a list of the Dutch vessels employed on this occasion:-Wilhelmina, Arinus Marinus, Ajax, Betsey, Prince Blucher, Waterbrak, Endrughot, corvettes; Irene, brig; Emma, schooner; two gun-boats, five prows and junks with howitzers. The force which the Malays had to oppose to these consisted of three strong batteries on the banks of the river, and one on the island of Gombera; one large floating battery; and one ship-battery; strong piles were driven across the main stream: several immense rafts of timber on fire were also floated down the smaller channel upon the shipping with great effect. Some disturbance having taken place on the island of Banca, the Dutch Resident who went out to quell them had been made prisoner by the insurgents, who afterwards cut off his head, and sent it in a basket as a present to the Sultan of Palambang. Resistance had also been made against the Dutch authority at Rhio; and when the Dauntless left Malacca, it was supposed that they would be obliged to quit Bintang altogether. A remarkable proof of the extravagancy of fanaticism, and of the misery which it will induce human nature to endure, was given last summer (1819) by a Bania in Gujerat, of the Vohra Caste. At their annual feast of Pujoosun, this man expressed his determination to abstain from food till he died. He had previously fasted from the 26th of July to the 25th of August; from which date he took a smal! quantity of food during four days, and then commenced his total abstinence. this resolution he persevered till the 3d of October, when he died; having thus fasted sixty-six days, deducting the four in August. A small portion of hot water daily was the only thing that passed his lips. At the end he was, as may be imagined, extremely emaciated; but his senses remained perfect to the last moment of his existence. He consequently became a Saint among the Janias. AMERICA, &c. American papers have brought au account of the termination of the proceedings in Congress, which adjourned on the 15th ult. to the second Monday in November. A bill imposing a duty of 18 dollars the ton, on all French vessels entering the ports of the United States, was hurried through both Houses during the last two days of the sitting of Congress. This act is to be in full operation on the 1st of next month; and is explained to have been enacted in consequence of the refusal of the French Government, after a long negociation, to enter into commercial arrangements, on reciprocal terms, with the Government of the United States. Provision is made for its immediate repeal as soon as France shall adopt different principles. Mr. Clay, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, though his term of service is not completed, has retired from public life. It appears from the American papers that all foreign vessels of war are probi bited from entering the ports of the United States, except Portland, Boston, New London, New York, Philadelphia, Norfolk, Smithville ᏢᎪᎡᎢ 1.] Abstract of Foreign Occurrences. Smithville in North Carolina, Charleston, and Mobile, unless from stress of weather, or when pursued by an enemy. By Quebec papers we learn, that a fire broke out at Montreal, on the 4th of May, which destroyed the theatre and twentytwo houses. The New York theatre was burnt to the ground on the 25th of May. TORTOLA, May 8.-We have, since our late unfortunate gale, had a great drought; our crops are already spoiled for this and the ensuing year. Last year this island made from 2500 to 3000 hogsheads of sugar; this year it will not make 250 hogsheads. The earth is completely parched; and nothing that is put in it survives. NEW SOUTH WALES. A French vessel, called L'Uranie, Captain Freycinet, on a voyage of discovery, touched at Sydney early in December, and during its stay a mutual interchange, of civilities took place between the officers and principal inhabitants. Some residents at Sydney having expressed their intention to quit the Colony in the Uranie, Captain Freycinet declined taking them, without the sanction of the Governor. Α Russian frigate, also on a voyage of discovery, arrived at Sydney soon after the Uranie. At one of the balls given by the officers of the Uranie, some young female Datives from Paramatta, educated at the schools established at Sydney, partook of the habits of civilized life, and were admired for the grace and ease of their movements. The reputation of these semiuaries, and a desire which is gradually spreading among the rude people of the Southern Ocean to share the benefits of instruction, had attracted to Sydney a party of young persons from the Bay of Islands, among whom was the son of Shungee, their principal Chief, but the plan of the Schools limiting them to the natives of New South 629 Wales, they could not be received, the managers fearing, in that case, to be overwhelmed with claimants for instruction. The annual assemblage of the native tribes took place at Paramatta on the 28th of December, but was less numerously attended than usual, the extreme heat of the weather preventing them from proceeding from the interior. About 250 persons of both sexes were present, and were regaled by the Governor with provisions and liquor. The examination of the native children of the institution then took place, and some very creditable specimens of their progress in writing and drawing were produced. The recognition of the chil dren by their parents and friends was described as extremely affecting. The facilities of internal communication had been increased, by putting the roads from Sydney to Paramatta and Nassau, before impassable in wet seasons, under complete repair. The improved cultivation of the hemp in New Zealand has before been mentioned; some trials were made in Ja nuary, at Sydney, of its relative strength, when made into cordage, compared with that manufactured in England from the produce of the Baltic, and determined materially in favour of the hemp of New Zealand, which possessed a degree of strength superior by one fourth.-Mr. G. Johnston, son of the Lieutenant-Governor of the Colony, died on the 19th of February, in consequence of a fall from his horse. The colony, in general, was in a flourishing state; European goods were in demand. The Admiral Cockburn, which brought these advices, brings home an entire cargo of the produce of the Colony. The Regalia, freighted in a similar manner, was to sail in about a month. The Gazette of the 8th of January contains an advertisement from the noted Dr. O’Halloran, who has opened a school at Sydney. DOMESTIC OCCURRENCES. INTELLIGENCE FROM VARIOUS PARTS OF THE COUNTRY. Sir W. J. Hope, one of the Lords of the Admiralty, accompanied by Sir John Gore, the Port Admiral of Sheerness, is on a survey of the coasts of Kent and Sussex, in order to ascertain the expediency of continuing or relinquishing the establishment for the suppression of smuggling, denominated the coast blockade; the expense being found greatly to exceed the advantage derived from it, while the plan of preventive stations, besides being more efficacious in its object, more than pays the whole cost of its establishment. A tradesman of Bristol was summoned lately before the Mayor of that city, and fined for suffering a bale of goods to remain on the pavement to the obstruction of the passengers; this he paid, and immediately after walked to the warehouse of the Mayor, where he saw some soap boxes standing on the pavement, and laid an information at the Council House; and the consequence was, that the Mayor was also fined by his brother Magistrates. Mr. Joseph Hughes, of Hodnet, near the seat of Lord Hill, at Hawkstone, Shropshire, has at this time an extraordinary cow, which is fed on grass only, that gives every day 24 quarts of milk, which as regularly produces 21 lbs. of butter every week! The The fine pheasantry in the garden of T. Kingston, esq. at Carleton House, in Somersetshire, was last week maliciously set on fire, and all the birds cruelly burnt to death. The following may be interesting to our agricultural readers at this season; as the expence of the practice must now be comparatively trifling, in consequence of the late Act which reduced the duty on rocksalt used for agricultural purposes : →→→→ "As the season for hay-making is drawing near, we must beg leave to recommend the salting of ricks. I am persuaded few farmers are aware of the benefit arising from this practice, particularly in stacking in sultry weather. The salt preserves the hay from overheating and becoming mildewed. All kinds of cattle, &c, prefer inferior hay thus managed to the best that can be placed before them that has not been salted. The salt assimilates with the juices of the hay, and thereby prevents too great a fermen tation, and by its soporific quality gives it a superior flavour. The proper way of using it is, in building the stack, to sprinkle the salt alternately between each layer of hay, in the proportion of one hundredweight to seven or eight tons." JamesMoffat, alias M Coul, the notorious associate of the late Hussey White, has been found guilty before the Court of Justiciary at Edinburgh, of being concerned in break ing into and robbing the Paisley Union Bank, on the 14th of July, 1811, and sen. tenced to be executed at Edinburgh on the 26th of July. To ensure correct returns of averages, the Board of Trade have directed country inspectors to post up in the market-places a duplicate copy of every return transmittted by them to the receiver of corn returns, in order to afford the means of de. tecting any error on the spot. A large swarm of bees lately visited the Market-square at Shrewsbury, and many of them settled on the head of one of the dealers in vegetable. A serjeant of the militia immediately procured a broom, which he hoisted on his halbert, whilst a female sounded the usual music on such occasions; and in about half an hour the whole of the swarm were collected on the broom, to the great joy of the market people, and hived. A dispute then arose be tween the serjeant and the woman, repecting which had a right to the new colony, and the latter in a passion upset the whole, in consequence of which many of the bees were killed, but fortunately no person was stung. The serjeant again, with other assistance, restored the bees to the hive; after which it was taken to the Mayor, the Rev. H. Owen, by the contending parties; when it was claimed by his Worship as Lord of the Manor of the town, to the mutual disappointment of the serjeant and his opponent. OCCURRENCES IN LONDON AND ITS VICINITY. Tuesday, May 30. A commencement was made of a new building on part of the site of Blackwell Hall, near Guildhall, for the accommodation of the Commissioners of Bankrupts, to remedy the inconvenience which bas hitherto been so much felt in transacting the business at Guildhall. men Wednesday, June 1. The books were opened at the Bank of England this morning to receive subscriptions for the purpose of funding of Exchequer bills to the amount of seven millions. It was completed in a few minutes only by ten houses. Before two o'clock in the morning there were crowds waiting outside of the Bank. About six o'clock the outer doors were opened, when the monied were accommodated in a passage leading to the Secretary's office. At ten the doors were opened, and as they entered each received a ticket. The fortunate holders of the first tickets were then called in, and when number nine had stated the amount required, it was found that only a hundred thousand remained. Number ten was then called, and completed the subscription. The others then departed greatly disappointed. The pressure, in gaining admission, exceeded all description. The crowd and consequent heat was excessive. Only about 200 succeeded in getting into the inner room, and tickets to about that number were issued, but at least 180 were unable to make their way to the hall-door, where the tickets were issued. There were nearly 400 applicants, and only ten, as above stated, obtained any part of the funding. Saturday, June 17. Prince Gustavus of Sweden and suite were introduced to the King, at his Palace, in Pall Mall, by his Excellency the Rus sian Ambassador. The Prince was most graciously received. In consequence of the promotion of the Rev. Dr. Mant to the Bishoprick of Killaloe, he has received a present of a piece of plate, consisting of a very large circular salver, on feet, with a magnificent border of chased flowers. The inscription is "To the Reverend Richard Mant this plate is presented as a token of respect for his cha racter as a Christian Rector, the beneficial influence of which the donors had the hap |
