It is announced, that the Ministers were to lay the Treaty of Peace before the Two Chambers on Saturday last. The King has issued a Royal Ordinance expressing the utmost abhorrence of Tlte assassination of General la Garde at the town ol Nismes, when employed in opening the Protestant Churches. He, in the most formal manner, the fre-dom and protection guaranteed to all religious worship, by the Constitutional Charter; he characterises the opposition made to the opening of the Prngtsiant Church as an act of sedition; and the dooth of General Lagarde as an assassination.

such acts were to rest soys hrs Majesty, there would no longer be either public order or He therefore ordains, that the authors pf this sedition and assassination shell be immediately brought to justice that a number of troops shall be quartered on the town, at the expenec of the. inhabitants, until these measuresarecarried into (nil effect; and that all the cilice ns not forming part of the legal public force, shaH be dismissed. The Jour Hals furnish repons of the proceedings on the of Marshal Net and M. Lavaletie. The latter has been found guilty of high treason, and sentenced to suffer death.

He heard the sentence with great composure, drew out his watch and compared it with the clock, and raised diis eyes to heaven, as if calculating tile hours he had to live. He has three days to appeal on the grounds of form alone On the 31st inst. Ney appeared before the Chamber of Peers. The proceedings was opened with great solemnity. The charge against him signed by all the Ministers and by the Procureur General was read.

The prisoner was then called upon to declare, whether he had any matter to plead in bar of further proceedings. His Counsel thereupon objected against the competency of the Chambers as having hern formed into a Criminal Court, merely hyanOrdoimance of the king, and not by an Act of legislature. This matter was fully debated, hut the Counsel having slated that they had other pleas to urge to a similar effect, the Court was adjourned to Thursday. French hinds arc francs. MULTUM IN PAR VO.

Lord Mayor of London (Wood), deservedly popular for his exertions in the reform of abuses in the Police by traversing the City at tsll hours of tha night, aud an early hour in the morning, the scandalous ptacti ees existing in thsTish'market at Billingsgate. A meeting of the Magistrates and Centlemcn resident within the hntrdreds of Ungar and Harlow, and the half hundred of Waltham, Essex, held Monday last, to take into consideration the great disproportion between the price of wheat and entered with a view to correct the evil, Charles Henry Basely, who carried off, and married in Scotland, Miss Ann Wade, of her guardian, Mr.Broughton, of Ueigate, together with the parlies concerned, and particularly the Governess of the young lady, were ordered by the Lord Chancellor, Saturday, to appear before him this week, to answer for their conduct in that transaction.

The Noic cuNcludes with decla.irg, that the Awstrian Minister will not sign ilie Treaty until Russia and Bavaria are more leasunable in their pretensions.

The Russian Minister is said to have answered this Note in a tone equally decisive, in respect to maintaining his claims, defending the policy ol his Government, and recriminating severely upon A itlria, which he reproaches with a weak and wavering line of conduct during the ascendancy of Bonaparte. Extracts from both Notes are privately circulated in Paris. The claims Russia are said to be supported by Lord Castleteagh, and those of Austria by Prussia. The old report is revived, that the Duke of Wellington is going over to England, and that he is dissatisfied with some recent occurrences. The French would have it that the greatest difference ol between him and Lord Castlereagh on public affairs, and this is the cause ot his return to Euglend.

Extract from a letter, dated the of May, 1815, at Batavia, from a merchant ot that place We have had one of the must tremendous eruptions of the mountain Tomboro, that ever perhaps took place in any part of the work); this mountain is situated on the Island of Snmbawa. and is distant from Batavm nut less than 350 miles. We heard the explosions here distinctly, and had some of the ashes.

It was totally dark at Macassar long attar the sun was up; and at noon, at Sourabaya, the sun succeeded incnlightening the good (oiks so far as to allow them lu see some yards around; the ashes lay at Macassar, which is SaOmiies from Snmbawa, 11 inches deep. Capt of the Dispatch, and Capt. Eatwcll, ot the Benares, who have visited the Island since the eruptions, both declare, that the anchorage is much changed, and that they found the sea, for many miles round tbe Island, so completely covered with tiunks of trees, pumice stone, as lo impede materially the progress ot the two ships. Capt. says, he was told that a village was inundated, and bad three fathoms water over it! Great numbers of the miserable inhabitants have perished, and others die daily.

The crops ot (Rue) have been utterly destroyed over a great pari of the island; so that the situation ut the unlortuMate survivors will be realty Mr. the Messenger, lately died in Tans, while attending his official duty upon Lord Casllereagfi.

They fought ten rounds, in which much desperate fighting was exhibited and in the eleventh, a knock down blow from Donnelly deciderfihe battle in his favour.

Cooper was much below Donnelly in tixe and weight, so that the superior strength of the latter broke through Cooper's guard, and left him without any chance of success.

In the Appendix to the llev. John Campbell's Travels in Sumh recorded one of the strangest occurrences iu the moral annals of mankind. It will he recollected that many years ago theOrosvenor East liuliaman was wrecked olf the roast of Caffraria (a distrirt divided from the country of the Hottentots by the Great Fish that nearly the whole of the passengers and crew perislud on the occasion.

It was, however, discovered that two young ladies had survived the miseries ol this dreadful event, and were resident in the interior of a country uninhabited by Europeans. Mr. Campbell docs not relate this occurrence from personal evidence, but we canuot doubt the extraordinary fact. The landdrost of Graaf Kegrel had been deputed by the Briiish Government to pay a visit to the King of CaiTraria, for the purpose of ascertaining whether there were any survivors Irom the wreck of the Urosvenor. Finding there were two be succeeded in pro curing an introduction to them.

He saw them habited like Caffrc women their bodies were painted after theliashiou of the native inhabitants, and their manners and appearance were altogether pnti-Europcan. the landdrost, however, sought to outain their confidence by a liberal offer of his best services to restore them to thkir country and friends. But they were unmoved by his solicitations. Ihey sta'cd (hat they had fallen into the nauds of the after Iney bad been cast ashore from the wreck; that their companions had been murdered, and that they had been compelled to give themselves in marriage: that having affectionate husbands, children and grand-children, their attachments were bouuded by their actual enjoyments. Upon being repeatedly urged to depart with the Unddrust, they replied, that probably at their return to England they might find themselves without connection or dependence, and that their acquired habits ill-fitted them to mingle with puln-hcd society, in short, (hey would nut quit Cafftaria.

The Emiieror Alexander, a time previously to the inroad ui Napoleon into Russia, in 18H with a. view of averting the spilling of so much human blood, sent Gen. Ualaschoff to the head quarters of Napoleon. He was received in anlichamber by Gen. Duroc, who, with a feigned graciousness, entreated him to exruse the delay, but that the Emperor was breakfasting at the moment.

lltc door of the adjoining apartments was at length opened the General perceived Napoleon as it just rising (rom his breakfast; near him were standing the King of Naples, the Kinj'ol Westphalia, and the Viceroy of Italy. Upon Gen. Ualasrhoff entering the room the Emperor called out to the grandpertonagu that surrounded him, AUtg vout en The conference lasted several hours, in the course ol which Napoleon brought forward every specious and wilful argument to prove, that Russia would act the wisest pait in submitting to his demands, and there was no possible chance ol being able to withstand the combin'd strength of France and her allies. Amongst many singular reasons adduced by Napoleon, in dclence ol his assertion, and to tunlirm the following may be wonhy it what was actually the degree of estimation in which he held the German nation Taking lor proceeded to lay, that the power ot your Emperor eaual to mine, yet, you ought to reflect, that when your monarch five men, they are five Kussians whereas, 1 can ly lose, in the campaign, one Frenchman and t'oiirlipgs.

On Sunday last, the following distressing accidents occurred at Kenilworth A poor -woman in the Houses fell yto the fire, and was severely burnt, but not dangerously.
