That day the national guard alone made the ser vice in the Thuileries. The king in an open carriage, escorted by many corps of trofrps, went through a great part of the capital. He had by his side the Duke of Reggio (Qudinot^) The English Banker, Mr. Baring, had hired for 3 years an hotel in Paris. It was written, from L’Orient, that an expedi tion of many vessels with troops on board, was about sailing for Cayenne, under the escort of the frigate L’Orient.

Robert took place, on whom the correspondence was seized which has given place to the arrest of Madame Regnault (Saint d’Angely.) The same day, the young Bruix were arrested at Montreuil, attempting to embark at that place without passports. They had been condemned to six months imprison ment in 1816, for cries and seditious acts, and were placed under the surveillance of the police ; they however had got from thatsurveillanct and were trying, it appears, to embark for America. The cause of Colonel James ]?!wan, of Boston, on a complaint of calumny, was heardyesterday, at the Tribunal of Correctional Police.—Madame Eubert, the prosecutor, was not in court, and did not present herself. On the recommendation of the Minister cf Police, the Tribunal sent back thevoti plaint, Mr. J.

Independently of the fruits, ‘ in which the crops are almost entirely destroyed, the vineyards and the meadows have suffered great injury, In many of the middle parts, pub lic prayers have been offered up, to obtain from Heaven a temperature less rigorous* We hear from Ratisbonc, under date of the 23d \pril, that the regiment of infantry of Colloredo, passed through there, forming the last column of the Austrian troops which has quitted France. They write from the Province of Galicia in Spain, that bands of robbers desolate that coun try; tbe mountains upon the frontiers of Portugal offer an as) lum to these dangerous men, ami ren der useless all efforts of the Authorities to repress them. Paris, May s. —Yesterday the king shewed himself at the gallery next the garden of the Thuileries, together with all the royal family on returning from the qhappel, and was received with loud acclamations. The King signed yesterday the contract of marriage between the Count de Chevigny and mademoiselle deCausans, daughter of general de Causans, member of the chamber of deputies. The Chevalier Marieno Louis de Urqucjo, first minister and secretary of state under Charles IV. and during the reign of Joseph, died at Paris on S a tool ay last. from Frankfort, under date of the 29th of April, that the Germanic Diet, opened its sitting on tl*e 28th, and that M-d’Aretin, minister of Bavaria, presented his Utters of cre dence on that occasion. The king of the Netherlands is arrived at Brussels, from his journey in Holland. 1 London, May s.—Another arrest has taken place at Paris, which is apparently connected with that of Madame Regnau It de St Angely.— The person thus arrested is a man of the name of Olville : Ijc is a glass manufacturer, and cousin to Bonaparte. The Parisian journalists, profess to have no knowledge of the occasion of these ar rests ; but from the political relationship of the is every probability that it relates to u plot of some kind in favor of Napoleon.— The Paris Journal den Debates, quotes from an other paper the intelligence that the Pope is seri ously indisposed, and that his Holiness has retir ed from Rome, to le-estulilish his health in a bel ter atmosphere.

Latest from Africa. —The brig Traveller, Stevens, lately arrived at Gloucester from Gam bia, which place she left May “8. Capt. Driscol, of the Traveller, died on the voyage. In answer to inquiries mlide to Capt. Stevens, vve learn, that all he knows of the African expedition is, that Major Peddse is dead, and it reported that Capt. Campbell was also—but no certainty of it. Capt. Driscol carried a part of the expedition from Senegal to Rio Nonas. He says that tw 0 vessels (supposed to be connected with the expe dition,) arrived off Senegal, and proceeded to Ice ward, one commanded by Capt. Young, and the other by Capt. Morgan. Capt. Stevens beingsick himself, as well as all the crew, he was unable to get any news or information of any importance.” Our latest previous information from this quarter was only to December last. From the New York National Advocate, July 1. The Ottoman Porte is extremely active in her military department. New corps of jannisarie3 are organizing, and the fortifications of the Dar danelles, and those .p the Asiatic coast, on Ihe Black Sea, are put in the best possible state of de fence. These preparations seem to fear an attack from Russia, which sooner or later will be made. The Turkish government, in expectation of such an event, is constantly on tlie the alert, and to cre ate a counteracting influence, propositions of al liance have been made to the British government —the ministry, however, who keep their eyes on the main chance, and profit by approaching diffi culties, have, as preliminary to such an alliance, obtained possession of Parga, a strong fortified place, and doubtless will obtain a recognition of the transfer of the lonian Islands, made by the C ongress of Vienna. But after all these dispo sitions, we are at a loss to conceive what assist ance Great Britain can render to Turkey against Russia. The great continental peace will cer tainly not be infringed to preserve the possessions of Turkey in Europe, and as the attack will be made from Poland and the Crimea, if nmde at all, Turkey will have to fight her battles without al lies. Austria is worn out, and has neither power or resources to check the rapid strides of Russia. While affairs remain so unsettled on the conti nent, the conquest of European Turkey will not be an easy task. From the Naw-York Evening Post. Address to the President and his Answer.

From the National Intelligencer, June 50. The emigrations to the west, at this time, far exceed those of any former period. The state of Indiana, and the Illinois and Missouri territo ries, receive the greater part of those enterpri zing adventurers ; to whom, and to whose friends it may not be uninteresting to learn, that the fol lowing military posts are occupied, and garrison ed by the army on that frontier, viz. Fort Harrison, on the Wabash, about 70 miles above Vincennes. Fort Clark, on the Illinois, 250 miles above the mouth of the Missouri. Belle Fontaine, on the Missouri, 15 miles above St. Louis. Fort Osage, on the Missouri, SCO miles above its mouth. Fort Edwards, on the Mississippi, 220 miles above the mouth of Missouri. Fort Armstrong, on the Mississippi, 420 miles above the mouth of Missouri. *. Fort Crawford, at Prairie du Chien, on the Mississippi, 600 miles above the mouth of Mis souri, ami is the advanced post connecting the Mississippi with the lakes, between which and the posts at Greenbay on lake Michigan, there is not more than three miles land transportation. On the upper lakes, above Detroit, there are at present but three military posts, viz. at Macki naw, at Greenbay, and at Chicago, the southern part of lake Michigan. Another military post is deemed important at the falls of St. Mary’s between lakes Huron and Superior; this would interrupt the smugglers, and afford additional security to that frontier.— We presume this point will attract the attention of government as soon as troops can be spared to form a garrison. This chain of centinels will then afford pro tection to a vast and valuable territory, every day becoming mot e important by the rapid in crease of its population. Between our advance post, Natchitoches on Red river, in Louisiana, and the Spanish Patriot post of Nacogdoches, in the province of Texas, the distance does m*t exceed eighty miles. It is said anew post is shortly to be establish ed on the Arkansas, near where the Osage line strikes that river, II the peace establishment of or arovy would warrant the government in encreasir.g the tim ber and strength of the frontier garrisons, bene ficial results might be expected in keeping#!e In dians quiet, and affording security to our new and flourishing settlements. ~ Artificial Congelation. —We understand that Professor Leslie has very lately made an import ant addition to his curious and beautiful dis covery of artificial congelation, lie had found by his early experiments, that decayed whin stone, or friable mould, reduced to a gross powder and dried thoroughly, will exert a powder of ab sorbing moisture, scarcely inferior to sulphuric a cid itself, nut circumstances having latolv drawn his attention to this subject, he caused some mouldering fragments of porphyritic trap, gather ed from the sides of the magnificent road now forming round Carlton-llill, to be pounded and dried caret ally before the fire of a bachelor’s oven. Phis powder being thrown into a wine decanter fitted with a glass stopper, was afterwards carried to the College; and at a lecture a few days since, in the Natural Philosophy class, (which he had been teaching this session, in the absence of Pro fessor l lay fair in Italy) he showed the influence ot its absorbing powder on his hydrometer which, inclosed within a small receiver of an air pump, tell from 90 degrees to 320 degrees, the wetted bubbling, cooled about 50 degrees of Fahrenheit’s scale. The Professor, therefore proposed on the instant, to employ the powder to freeze u small body of water. He poured the pow der in to a saucer, about seven inches wide, and placed a shallow cup of porous earthen-ware, 3 inches in diameter, at the height of half an inch above, and covered the whole with a low receiver. On exhausting this receiver till the gage slood at 2- lOths of an inch, the water in a few minutes ran into a cake of ice. With the same powder, an hour aftewards, he froze a large body of water in three minutes ; and he w ill no doubt, push these ingenious and interesting experiments much further. It appears that such earth will absorb tlm hundredth part ot its weight of moisture with out having its powder sensililr impaired ; and i even capable ol absorbing as much as the tenth part. It can hence easily be made to freeze the eighth part ol its weight of water, and might even repeat the process again. In hot countries, the powder will, after each process, recover its power by drving in the sun.—lce may therefore be pro cured in the tropical climates, and even at sen, with very little trouble, and 110 sort of risk or in convenience.
