Madame Rcgnault St. Jeand’Angely has obtained per-
isjion to quit the medical abode, to which, on account
the infirm state of her health, she was transferred.
Her intention, previously to her confinement,'was to re*
join count lieguauit, her husband in the United States.—
A certain time is granted her for the'arrangement of her
private affairs, at the expiration of which she is to quit
Baris. She purposes repairing to Rotterdam by Aix-ia-
Chappelle, and is to be accompanied by a natural son of
her husbaqd, .who is hqw iti tlie lnw countrics, superin
tending the preparations of her voyage. The profit of
this lady’s departure has been accelerated by the distress
ing accounts the late vessels from America haveconvey-
td. It appears that count Regnault, of such dis'tin'qiiidt-
ed bpt servile talent, had not mental firmness enough to
meet the reverses.of his.fortune, and that his intellectual
faculties for some time past have been entirely, deranged,
liqow ed his elevation to his natural endowments alone.

Stupendous Undertaking.—A wonderful experiment
was. tried on Monday se’nnight at Ply mouth. It had
been some time in' coiilemplation to pull up a'line of bat

guns was fixed on for the experiment. 1 Two frigates liaTl
been, previously hauled up with facility. Tlie various ap.
paratus being- fixed, preparatory to hauling, and, every
precaution taken to prevent accidents and to secure Ihe
ultimate object, at 2 j minutes before six o'clock the sig
nal was given to' heave the purchaser. This was obeyed
by “a long pull, a strong pull, and a'pull altogether.”
The immense fabric began to advance on the plane about
8 or 10 inches at a time, :u itie purchases acted, and in
tlie short period offorty one minutes from (he time of
first heaving, a body weighing upwards of one thousand
