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; while 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 dan gerous 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, amount ing, in the case of a Duke, to 30,000 francs (£ 1350 Sterling); of a Marquis or Count, to 20,000 francs (£900); and of a Baron or Viscount, to 10,000 francs (£450). These estates thus created shall be trans missible 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. ramblings of Peter the Great were of a different description.

The

The authenticity of the document, purporting 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 Ob server, an official journal, published at Vienna.

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 desired 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 appointed their executioners.

Bengal, from the army, had left his country entirely at the mercy of the British.

CHINA.

Letters, dated the 8th March, are said to have been received from Canton, which state that the Emperor of China has sent a letter to the Prince Regent, requesting that no more embassies may be sent to the "celestial empire." It is reported in the same letters, that the Anti-English party, at the Court of Pekin, have been restored to the Emperor's favour, notwithstanding his late severe edict of censure against them.

AFRICA.

EXPEDITION TO THE NIGER.

It is with extreme regret we have to state the death of Captain Campbell, the able and zealous commander of this unfortunate but well-meant endeavour to explore the interior of Africa. A letter from Sierra Leone, of June 30, states, that intelligence of the loss had arrived at that place a few days before. Captain Campbell was reported to have died of a broken heart, and the expedition was expected to return. The second naval officer in command, who had been left at Sierra Leone on account of ill health, but was recovered, and on his way to join the expedition, returned to Sierra Leone, on hearing of Captain Campbell's death, to consult the Governor upon the future conduct of the expedition. A dispatch was immediately sent home to Lord Bathurst.

ST HELENA.

Lord Amherst, who has lately returned from his unsuccessful mission to China, on his voyage home, touched at St Helena, where he had an interview with Bonaparte, of which the following interesting particulars have been published:-Lord Amherst expressed an earnest desire to be introduced to Bonaparte, and although some obstacles presented themselves in the attainment of his object, on account of the schism which still subsists between Sir Hudson Lowe and Bonaparte, they were in due time all removed, and Lord Amherst, together with Captain Maxwell, and Mr Lynn, surgeon of the Alceste, were allowed to wait upon the Great Man, (the title generally conferred on Bonaparte at St Helena,) and on the 3d July, Lord Amherst was ushered into his presence at Longwood, whilst Captain Maxwell and the surgeon waited in an antichamber. It was not long before those officers were desired to join. There was nothing in the appearance of Bonaparte which in the least indicated ill health; on the contrary, he looked well, and less bloated than ordinary. In his conversation with the party,

his questions were put with his usual rapidity-indeed, they followed each other in such quick succession, that answers could only be given to those which appeared most marked and important. With his general precision, Bonaparte inquired of the officers what stations they filled on board of ship. Learning Mr Lynn was the surgeon, he inquired what system of pharmacy he pursued? "That depends upon circumstances," replied the surgeon. " I hope," rejoined Napoleon," it is any other than that practised on this island, for here we have the same thing over and over again-bleeding and calomel for ever." The conversation taking a turn on the mission of Lord Amherst to China, his Lordship related the cause of its failure, which he ascribed to the necessity imposed upon him by the Emperor, of smiting the ground nine times with his forehead, an indignity which his Lordship intimated could not be submitted to. Bonaparte answered, "Indeed!-now, had it suited my policy to send an ambassador all the way to the Emperor of China, I should have instructed him to kiss his great toe; and if that would not do, he might, if required, have kissed a more offensive part, provided my object was attained!"

He protested vehemently against his confinement, and said, he knew of no law in existence which gave the powers of Europe the right of detaining him a prisoner on the island of St Helena or elsewhere, and strongly urged the propriety of his present situation being taken into consideration by the crowned heads of Europe. Bonaparte, notwithstanding his disappointment from that quarter, affects great reliance on the justice and impartiality of the Prince Regent of England, when unconnected with national policy and the influence of Ministers; and, with this impression on his mind, he expressed an anxious wish that Lord Amherst would be the bearer of a letter from him to his Royal Highness, which had been prepared for some time, with the intention of forwarding it to England. His Lordship undertook the trust required, which he has faithfully executed; but it is supposed no answer will be returned to the letter.

On inquiry, the officers of the late Alceste found that Bonaparte can have the range of the whole island in his exercise of riding, driving, or walking, provided he will allow a British officer to attend him in his excursions; but this he objects to. As it is, he may extend his walks or rides about twelve miles; but then he is liable to meet, in his perambulations, British centinels at various points, who never fail to present arms to him. Madame Bertrand was seen by the British officers; and the impression made upon them was, that she was a very handsome and clever woman.
