THE Parisian Press appears to be too much restricted for a foreigner to be able to form any correct estimate of the state of France. To censure any government, or in any manner to intermeddle with the politics of the time, is foreign to our thoughts, and contrary to our intentions; yet we cannot but lament, that there should in any country exist a power, which, for a mere critique on an exhibition of pictures, can suppress a journal, and deprive an industrious man of the means of living. The Editor of the Constitutionel, speaking of a painting, by Isabey, thus expresses himself, "We remark, among his fine pictures, the whole length figure of a child, holding in both its hands, an enormous bouquet of roses. This association of the colours of the spring, and the graces of infancy, recals and embodies ideas of hope. In the middle of the bouquet, the artist has placed some beautiful blue flowers. The ensemble of this composition, has the most pleasing effect. These flowers are called, in German, Wergiss, (or rather Vergiss) mein nicht; "Forget me not." For this passage was the paper suppressed! France, as far as can be judged, appears yet to be in a very unsettled state. Riots and insurrections agitate it in many parts. A want of the necessaries of existence seems to have given the first origin to these disturbances, which have afterward, when the feelings of the people have become heated by frequent irritation, assumed a rather political character; happily by the prospect of more plenty from the produce of an abnndant harvest, these commotions have begun to decline, and we may hope, if famine atone be the cause, that in a few months, tranquility and peace will be every where restored. The fever of emigration seems to rage as violently here as in other countries; like a pestilence it casts its pestiferous breath on every country whether continental or insular, and infuses into all rauks a mania, for leaving the place of their nativity, for deserting every dear and near connection, and trying a new life among strangers whom they never saw, in a land whose language they never heard, and among a people with whose manners they are totally unacquainted. No less a number than 30,000 are stated to have reached the United States from France alone; some having umbarked in Bel gium, some in Holland, Germany and Rus- deaux, his native country. The tattooing sia. Besides this mania of emigration, there appears to be another in a great degree prevalent, namely that of migration: this however apparently attacks our own countrymen more successfully than any other, as we learn by the following extract from a letter dated Boulogne, July 12, 1817. "Here are so many English, that they enhance the price of every house, lodging, and article of provision. It is computed that there are not less than five hundred English families settled here at this moment, estimated altogether at 2500 persons, some of whom come to retrench, and some for change of scene and amusement." The Bishops of France have received a letter from his Holiness the Pope, of the date of June 12th, declaring his intention of erecting a number of new Bishoprics, in addition to those which existed previous to 1801, and soliciting their assistance in carrying that design into effect. In the Russian squadron which lately arrived at Calais is an individual, a native of Bourdeaux of the name of Joseph Cabria,who from the singularity of his adventures, has excited a considerable degree of interest and curiosity. "Embarked in 1792, on board the privateer the Dumourier, he was taken by the English, and subsequently enrolled in the Corps of Emigrants in the English service. He formed part of the expedition to Quiberon, saved himself by swimming, and regained the English frigates. On returning to London, be engaged as an under officer on board a merchant vessel for a long voyage. This vessel was lost at the Marquesas (or Marquis of Mendozas Island) and an Englishman and he alone were saved. Received by the inhabitants of one of those Islands, to which he gave the name of Nacaiba, he was adopted by them, and tattooed from head to feet like the rest of the Islanders. They gave him in marriage the daughter of the King, and he lived nine years with these savages perfectly happy, having abundance of fruits without the trouble of cultivating them, and living on the produce of the bread tree and fish. These people are Anthropophagi, and eat the prisoners whom they take in war. He had seen several of these repasts, of which he gives circumstantial details, as well as of the manners of the natives. The Russian Captain Krosenstern touched at this island in a voyage round the world, took him on board and brought bim away. He left the island of Nacaiba with regret. He was landed at Kamtschatka, and entered the Russian service as a Lieutenant in the Navy. He now returns to France, and intends retiring to Bour with which the skin is marked, from the forehead to the feet, is done with art. The designs of it are considerably varied and traced with much neatness." SPAIN. IN the mediation of the Great Powers between Spain and Portugal, important ex. planations appear to have been made, particularly in respect to what is termed the Sacred or Holy Alliance. 1. This alliance is only valid among the powers who have mutually concluded it, without affecting their allies. 2. The contracting parties engage to protect each power, not only in the integrity of its whole territory, but also in its constitutional rights, in respect to its subjects. By these arrangements it is stated, that Russia has engaged to support the cause of Ferdinand in South America, with a fleet of six line of battle ships, several frigates, and an army of 20,000 men; for which Spain cedes to Russia Old and New California, and the Island of Minorca, and likewise allows it many commercial advantages. In North America Spain cedes the two Floridas; in consequence the Americans forbid all assistance to the insurgents by their subjects. General Iacy and four superior officers who were arrested with him, have been condemned by a council of war, held at Barcelona, on the 27th of June. General Milan, and four other conspirators, have also, though absent, had the same sentence pronounced upon them. The proceedings have been laid before the King, and in consequence Gene. ral Lacy has been removed to the Island of Majorca, to wait the issue of his Majesty's determination. Perhaps the execution of so great a favorite of the people, may be more safely, at least more quietly, accomplished in that island, than in any part of Spain. At the request of the city of Madrid, the King has granted to the inhabitants of that capital, a decoration, intended to perpetuate the remembrance of the memorable siege sustained by them, during the first three days of December, 1808, against the armies of Bonaparte, commanded by him in person. The ribbon is red, edged with white. The cross will have these words, "To the valour and fidelity of the inhabitants of Madrid." The King has lately issued a royal decree relative to the culture of tobacco at the Havannah. This commodity, from the effects of a discouraging monopoly, was almost lost to the country; but by this decree, every advantage is held out to future cultivators, and to every branch of commerce or agriculture connected with it. From the Ha vannah, the exportation of tobacco is to be allowed to any country, provided it be carried in Spanish vessels. PORTUGAL. A LETTER from Lisbon of the 1st of July, states that the Portuguese government, having obtained a loan of near half a million sterling, was enabled to proceed with its armaments, and that the expedition to the Brazils was already in a forward state of preparation. The following particulars have transpired concerning the late conspiracy. Exclusive of those mentioned in our last number, upwards of fifty persons have been seized, comprising those who were to have made themselves masters of different parts of the kingdom. The plan was well arranged. Four committees were established in Lisbon, of which one was supreme, and was alone acquainted with the ramifications of the conspiracy. Hence delegates were sent into every province, to sound the disposition of the people, to inflame their minds, and stir them up to revolt. The object was an absolute and unconditional exclusion from the throne, of the whole Braganza family: in order to accomplish which, Marshal Berresford was to have been killed, all the English officers arrested, and the soldiers invited to join the conspirators. Thus having raised the standard of insurrection, they meant to have established a provisional government, till they could arrange one of a more perfect kind. They are now undergoing a judicial trial, and the government is unremitting in its exertions to prepare the expedition for Pernambucco, NETHERLANDS. FROM a country with which she is in the closest bonds of amity; a country which owes to her interference almost its political existence, England had a right to expect a return, different from that she meets with. She could not anticipate that the press of her friend would become only the vehicle of abuse; and that the talents of her late companion in arms, would be employed in fostering that spirit, which eventually leads to disunion in her children; yet thus it is: the papers of the Netherlands not content with spreading abroad the false rumours of a war being on the eve of taking place between Great Britain and America; of proclaiming, as from unquestionable authority, that an almost deadly disunion prevails in our cabinet; gives vent to her enmity and her malice in the following effusion. “Europe is under the yoke of England; this is one of those truths which, in the eyes of all men who make use of their intellectual faculties, has all the characters of mathematical demonstration. "This yoke is more real than that of Napoleon, though invested with less humiliating forms. England has escaped its ruin, only to avenge itself upon the independence of all nations. Its flag, which explores the world, forms now-a-days the great power; and unhappily this power is stronger and more inaccessible than armies. "One cannot but admire the art with which it has manufactured the net which it has thrown over the globe. The first mesh is fixed to Heligoland, and the second to Jersey. From these it commands all the issues of Germany, watches over the Sound, intimidates Sweden and Denmark, and presses on the coasts of Holland and France. In the centre of this line rises the Metropolis, between the South and the North of Europe. Its eccentric position renders its maritime power the tyrant of the European seas. Gibraltar and Malta secure to it the entrance and the centre of the Mediterranean. From the Ionian Islands it superintends the Adri atic and Greece. The Cape of Good Hope opens to it the route to India. By means of Malabar, Ceylon, &c. it compresses Asia and New Holland, and renders itself mistress of the South, At Trinidad it has one foot on the Spanish Continent. At St. Lucie, Jamaica, &c. it watches the Havannah and the Antilles. The occupation of Canada, and Newfoundland, completes this immense chain, which seems to bind together the two worlds. "This preponderance, as ignominious as it is contrary to the rights of nations, is the object of universal hatred; and it may be asserted, that nineteen-twentieths of the inha. bitants of Europe, would rejoice at the fall of this terrible Colossus." Can an Englishman read this effort of puny malice, and not rejoice at the pre-eminence of his country? Could a Briton, by the most laboured panegyric, have expressed half so forcibly his sentiments of her great ness? GERMANY. "VIENNA, July 2. The mountain of Homneck, in Úpper Austria, has disappeared, and given place to a lake. This mountain was very elevated, and gave its name to the country. In the preceding month, several phenomena had caused us to anticipitate some dreadful event. From time to time some subterranean vents had occasioned some little explosion, and very much disturbed the inhabitants of the country. Some ten cottages situated on the verge of the mountain are destroyed. It is not said that any men had perished in the disaster,” The African pirates by their infesting of the northern seas, completely destroy the German navigation. The Kings and States of Germany therefore (so says rumour) intend to apply to England, to lend its navy for the total suppression of these lawless corsairs. How these Princes can have the assurance to apply for such a favor to Britain, when they have prohibited her manufactures from their markets, is certainly astonishing! SWITZERLAND. A Madame de Krudener, a fanatic that assumed the character of a prophetess, has for some time, been travelling in various parts of this country, followed by a crowd of converts of both sexes. So great was the number of these followers, that the police of Lucerne found it inexpedient to suffer the longer stay of the prophetess in their jurisdiction, they therefore escorted her and her retinue to Zurich. Here she wished to remain some weeks, but could not obtain perInission from the police of the canton, because of the multitude of her followers, for whom it was no way agreeable to provide quarters. She is now in the neighbourhood of Arau or Schaffhausen, where she distribntes money to the poor, and is visited by the rich and respectable inhabitants. SWEDEN. Sweden, like some other European countries, seems to have been agitated with plots and plans of insurrection, or revolution. All that we can learn concerning them is from the following short note: "Stockholm, July 1, 1817. "The enquiring into the pretended conspiracy of the 13th of March, has been concluded. The public accuser has demanded that Lindholm shall make due satisfaction to those persons whose honour has suffered in consequence of his conduct, and shall be punished according to his offence. He also requires the Baron Klinkowsloem, shall be called to account for incautiously accusing certain persons without a proof of their guilt." On the 4th of July, His Royal Highness Prince Oscar, Duke of Sudermania, came of age. As usual, on all such occasions, the court and the country became a scene of festivity and rejoicing. RUSSIA. WHEN the principle object of a monarch is the improvement of his country, or the amelioration of his subjects; whether he travels for the purpose of acquiring such knowledge as will lead to the completion of his wishes, or in journeying for other purposes, gleans what may be of advantage on his re turn;-happy must be the nation, and gratéful the inhabitants, for the blessing of such a sovereign! Is there then a country which ought to be more happy, more grateful than Russia? Her Peter deserted the couch of royalty, and berame a wanderer and a labourer in other countries, to make himself master of those arts, which he conceived might be useful to his own. Her Catharine invited philosophers from all parts, to assist her councils by their wisdom; and her Alexander, whose character as a conqueror yet resounds through Earope, has a greater claim on her regard,than what arises from his military glory, In the .midst of wars, or in the triumphs of peace, surrounded by armies, or by pageants, in the lacerated bosom of France, or the luxurions garden of England, one object, and that nlone, seems to have taken possession of his soul, and to that he has had the art to make all circumstances bend; the love of his country has always been his ruling passion; for her he has fought, and for her he has ransacked all the sources of knowledge possessed by other states; till, like a Bee, he returned home, loaded with the choicest honey, for the support of the hive for which he labours. During his visit to England, the Emperor had an opportunity of examining our new systems of instruction.-Satisfied with their usefulness, he did not he sitate to introduce them in his own dominions. There they have become both popular and fashionable. The nobility, in emulation of their sovereign, are labouring for their extension, and introducing them into the various towns on their estates. Count Romanzoff, well known as an encourager of whatever is beneficial, has sent hither for a teacher to superintend the schools of the peasantry on his estate, --a peasantry of 50,000 souls; and a young man who understands the system and the Russian language, set sail in consequence, for St. Petersburgh, about a week ago. The Bible Societies too meet with the Emperor's approbation. In his dominions they were presently established, and on the 8th of June, 1817, that of St. Petersburgh held its fourth anniversary meeting. Of its proceedings, the following is an introductory extract, from Mr. Henderson's letter : Yesterday was celebrated the fourth anniversary of the Russian Bible Society. Notwithstanding the unfavourable state of the weather, and the inconvenient situation of the Russian Palace, (in one of the magnificent halls of which, the meeting was held;) it was computed to have been nearly three times more numerously attended than it was last year. The hall and adjoining room were quite crowded, and presented to the view of |
