FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

[blocks in formation]

Paris, April 2.-The Police Court has pronounced sentence on Rioust for writing the pamphlet entitled " Carnot," and which is declared to contain "principles of anarchy, and to be contrary to the fundamental maxims of the monarchy," &c. &c. His defence is also pronounced to be seditious under the appellation of Liberal. He is condemned to two years imprisonment, a fine of 10,000 francs, the privation of civil rights for ten years, five years of surveillance of the high police, and sureties to the amount of 10,000 francs more.M. Rioust has appealed against this judg

mént.

It is thought that the number of electors in Paris will be 10,000. There are about 13,000 who pay 300 francs of taxes, the qualification of an elector; but 3000 must be deducted for those who have not attained thirty years of age.

The stage-coaches, made on the English model, to run from Paris to St Denis and to Versailles, full of company inside, top, coach-box, and behind, now form a very extraordinary sight for the Parisians, and draw more attention than any other carriages in the promenade.

There have been vaccinated in the department of the two Sevres, during 1816, two thousand individuals. This number is superior to that of preceding years. In the department of the Meurthe there were vaccinated 15,600 individuals during the same year. The prefect of that department has given premiums to those who are distinguished by their zeal in promoting vaccina

tion.

By a letter from Calais, dated April 17th, we learn, that the day before, the Eleonora, from Nantz to Dunkirk, with a crew of

seven men, was driven on shore to the eastward of that harbour, during a strong northwest gale. Certain death seemed to await the unfortunate crew, and one or two had been actually washed away, when a boat from the Royal Sovereign Yacht, manned by Lieutenant C. Moore and eight seamen, was seen darting through the surf to their relief. Commodore Owen placed himself at the extremity of the jetty, and although repeatedly almost washed away by the sea, by his voice and gestures animated and directed the boat's crew. Before they could reach the vessel, four had been successively forced into the deep. Of the three survivors two were saved by the generous and intrepid exertions of Lieutenant Moore, at the utmost hazard of his own life and the lives of his crew. The third precipitated himself into the sea in a fit of despair, and sunk to rise no more. The boat then returned to the jetty, and the gallant crew received the thanks and congratulations of thousands of spectators.

Paris, April 20.An ordinance of the king, dated yesterday, regulates the new al terations of the councils of the cabinet, and the council of state. The cabinet councils. are composed, 1st, of all the ministers' secre taries of state; 2d, of four ministers of state at the most; and of two counsellors of state named by the king for each council. The council of state remains composed as it was before, but the under secretaries and directors-general of the administration will have a deliberative voice. Another ordinance of the same day contains a table of the formation of the council divided by sections.

The following general view of the income and expenditure for the year 1817, will shew, in a summary form, the resources and obligations of France :

City of Paris Loan. The following are the accurate particulars of the loan which has recently been concluded between

the city of Paris and several eminent French houses:

The city borrows 33 millions of francs, or about 1,320,000 Sterling, for which it gives 33,000 obligations of 1000 francs each, payable from the 1st October 1817, to the 1st July 1829, both included. The period when these obligations will be paid is to be decided by a lottery every quarter of a year, so that there will be 48 lotteries, the first to commence with 523 obligations, the second 530, the third 537, the fourth 544, and so on, adding seven obligations each drawing, which will make in 48 lotteries the whole 33,000. Each obligation bears an interest of 6 per cent. per annum, payable quarterly from the day the money is advanced to that when it is repaid, which will be when the number is drawn, and there are certain prizes to be drawn every quarter, from 5 francs to 50,000 francs for each obligation which comes up, and which prizes amount in the whole to upwards of six millions of francs. Thus, for instance, the highest prize on the 1st of October 1817 is 20,000 francs, so that the holder of that obligation which is drawn the prize on that day, will receive for his 1000 francs advanced 21,012 francs, 30 cents. for his capital, interest, and prize, and the least he can receive is 1017.-The circumstance which led to such a transaction was, the daily expense incurred by keeping down the price of bread to 18 sous for 4 lb. the cost of which has not been less than 75,000 francs, or £3150 per diem.

Sometime ago a conspiracy was detected at Bourdeaux, which seems to have had for its object to overturn the present government. Six individuals, none of them known to possess much influence, have been condemned to death, and nine to different terms of imprisonment.

SPAIN.

A courier extraordinary from Madrid has brought intelligence of the death of the infant Don Antonio, brother of Charles IV. He expired at Madrid, the 20th April, after short illness. He was born at Naples the 31st December 1755.

The Madrid Gazette announces, that an extraordinary drought prevails in Arragon and Catalonia. Entire villages have been abandoned on account of the want of water, even for the first necessities of life.

It appears by the French accounts, that the late conspiracy in Spain was much more extensive than was at first imagined; 300 officers were taken up with General Lacy, and nearly all the officers of the forty-one battalions in Catalonia were implicated. Similar plots had taken place in Gallicia. In consequence of these events the French

Government had adopted all necessary precautions on the frontiers towards Spain.

According to letters from Barcelona of the 10th May, it appears, that the sentence of death passed on General Lacy was still suspended, and it was the general opinion, that if carried into execution, he would never undergo the same in that city, or within the limits of the province of Catalonia, as this unfortunate officer, above all others, is the greatest favourite of the Catalans.

Madrid May 20.-After long and warm discussions, it appears that M. de Garay has succeeded in obtaining the general approbation of the system of finance attributed to him, and of which the principal bases are as follows:

The maximum of the ecclesiastical benefices is fixed at 20,000 reals, (5000 francs, or about £210 sterling). Half of the revenue of bishoprics and archbishoprics shall be consigned to the coffers of the state. The fifth of the product of the signorial rights is equally applied to the state funds. A general land-tax shall be laid on all landed property without exception.

The customs in the interior are suppressed, and there are to be no more, except in the frontiers and in the sea ports.

The privileged provinces, such as Biscay, Navarre, &c. are subject to the general law.

The king guarantees anew the whole of the public debt.

GERMANY.

In an article from Frankfort, dated 4th April, it is said the Prussian Government gives us, since the return of peace, the first example of repayment of national debt in specie. Obligations have been extinguished here, in presence of notary and witnesses, to the amount of 2,200,000 florins. This has made great noise in the trading world, and will raise very much the credit of the Prussian State.

A private letter from Vienna, dated April 12, says" The unexpected arrival of the Princess of Wales on the 9th of the month, produced a general sensation, and embarrassed great numbers. She put up at the hotel called the Empress of Austria, having found nobody at home at the hotel of Lord Stewart, where she wished to alight. Lord Stewart, the moment that he heard of the intended arrival of the Princess, set off with all his family for the country; a conduct which the Princess, as well as the Austrian public, took in very ill part. The Princess, the day before yesterday, complained openly at her table, in very strong terms, and declared that she would inform her daughter of it, and would herself never forgive Lord Stewart for this behaviour."
