ABSTRACT OF FOREIGN

FRANCE.

The King of France has, with the consent of his Ministers, ordered the property of the Buonapartes to be sequestered: the ostensible pretence is, that they have been discovered intriguing against the Government.

The enslaved state of the public press in France under Buonaparte, appears to have been perfect freedom compared with its present situation. It is scarcely credible, that for the last nine months the interior of France should have been a scene of discontent and disorder, and that until now not a particle should have transpired upon the subject, Such, however, is the fact. The collection of the droits reunis, or indirect taxes, particularly upon liquors, salt, and tobacco, has been the cause of these discontents and disturbances of this we have official confirma

OCCURRENCES.

tion in an Ordinance just issued by his Majesty, the preamble of which recites to this effect, and offers an amnesty and release to persons of certain descriptions implicated in these unlawful proceedings.

We are glad to see that the infamous falsehoods of M. Auxion, Lavaysse are disclaimed by the French Government. The new Minister of the Marine and Colonies, Count Beugnot, has by the express command of his Most Christian Majesty,. publicly notified that the object of Lavaysse's mission to St. Domingo was entirely pacific; that its only purpose was, to collect and to transmit to the Government information ou the state of the colony; and, consequently, that M. Lavaysse had no authority whatever to make declarations so highly compromising the honour of his Sovereign.

The Journal de Paris represents the
French

French Finances as in a very flourishing state: they have, been greatly improved by the voluntary renunciation of the claims of the inhabitants of France for indemnification in consequence of the ravages of the late war. The Gazette de France says, that in all quarters the people have made the most generous efforts to pay the contribution; that in the month of November last the receipts in the Royal Exchequer amounted to 73 millions, a sum far surpassing the hopes of the Minister; and that the Treasury Bonds, which, on the 7th of December last were at a discount of 6 2-3ds. per cent. are now only at 1.

From Havre it is stated, that a number of vessels bave sailed from that port for Guadaloupe and Martinique, in consequence of those islands having been formally restored to France. Ships are also preparing for the Isle of Bourbon and India; and, shocking to relate, it is unblushingly avowed, that some vessels have sailed to procure slaves for the French colonies.

RE-INTERMENT OF THEIR Late MajesTIES OF FRANCE.

The Paris papers of the 22d inst. were chiefly occupied with the solemn proceedings that took place on the removal of the remains of Louis XVI. and Marie-Antoinette, from La Magdalene to the Royal Sepulchre of St. Denis, on the 21st,-the anniversary of that fatal day, when the most humane and gentle-hearted Monarch that ever sat on the throne of France was ostentatiously murdered in the heart of his capital, in sight of the palace of his renowned ancestors, and in the midst of scenes so often animated by the cheerful loyalty of his subjects. Two-and-twenty years have elapsed since that "deed without a name" was perpetrated: the chief assassins have long since perished miserably; their bodies are lost in the mass of undistinguished earth; and their names exist only in the universal execration and horror of mankind;-while that justice which was refused to Louis XVI., when living, is paid with warmth, and affection, and earnestness, to his memory; and his mortal remains, which it was so carefully sought to annihilate, have been singularly preserved, accurately recognised, and transported in the utmost pomp, together with those of his Queen, to the ancient receptacle of the deceased Sovereigns of France, followed by the relatives that were nearest and dearest to him when living, and by those faithful and honourable subjects who were the objects of his choicest regard.

On the morning of the 21st, all the regiments of the garrison of Paris were under arms, and the way from the Rue d'Anjou to the barrier of St. Denis was lined by detachments.

Monsieur, with the Dukes D'Angouleme and Berri, proceeded, at eight. o'clock, from the Thuilleries to the residence of M. Descloseaux, and laid the first stone of a monument to be erected on the spot where the bodies of Louis the Martyr and his Queen were deposited, in the adjoining cemetery.

The precious remains of their late Majesties, in superb coffins, were placed on a funeral car, and attended more immediately by the company of the Scots Guards of the King. The procession then set out for the Abbey of St. Denis in the following order :—

Detachments from various military corps, both cavalry and infantry.

The Governor of the First Military Division, with his Staff.

Detachments of National Guards, horse and foot.

Lieut.-general Count Dessolle, with the Staff of the National Guard. Detachment of Horse Grenadiers. Three of the Royal Carriages, with eight horses to each, containing Officers of the Princes.

Detachments from the Musketeers and Light Cavalry.

Eight Royal Carriages, with eight horses to each.

A Carriage, in which were Monsieur, and the Dukes D'Angouleme and Berri. Heralds on Horseback.

The Grand Master of the Ceremonies, and his Assistants, mounted. Detachments of Cavalry.

THE FUNERAL Car.

Attended by Parties of the Scots and Swiss Guards.

The principal Esquire to his Majesty, mounted.

Officers of the Guards-du-Corps.
Detachments from various Corps.
State Coach of Monsieur.
Ditto of the Dukes D'Angouleme and
Berri.

Squadrons of the Royal Dragoons. A train of Field Artillery firing minute guns on the march. Detachments of Military Horse and Foot. The National Guard of St. Denis were under arms in the space fronting the Abbey. All the Troops wore crapes on their arms. The Drums and Musical Instruments were decorated with black serge, as were the different Colours and Standards.

The procession was received at the gates of the Church by all the attendant Clergy.

Monsieur was followed by all the Princes and Princesses of the Blood (who were attended by the Counts Laine and Barthelemy, and the Dukes of Dalmatia and Reggio) into the body of the Church. They took their places in the stalls erect
