FRANCE.

In the Journal of Agen, of the 17th of June, we read as follows:-On Saturday the 7th inst. a dreadful storm burst forth in the communes of Cancon, Beaugos, Moulinet, and Bondi, in the ar. rondissement of Villeneuve sur Lot, and caused the greatest ravages. Not a blade of grass nor a vine leaf are to be seen in the places where the hail fell; happily its extent was not great. The rain, which poured from the same cloud, did an infinite deal of mischief, by the great quantity of earth which it carried with it, and by covering all the pasturage around with sand. This is now the fifth year in succession that the crops have been destroyed in this unfortunate dis

trict.

Paris, July 3.-The number of French emigrants who have reached the United States do not amount to a less number than 30,000. They have in general embarked from Belgium, Holland, Germany, and even Russia. In America they have enjoyed unrestricted freedom, but have obtained no political preponderance. Joseph Bonaparte is said to have given up every hope of returning to France. Clauzel and Lefebvre Desnouettes are at New Orleans: Grouchy bas quitted Baltimore for New York. The greater part of the officers of this nation appear determined on repairing

to Mexico or Brazil.

The French Government have come

to the determination of causing a lighthouse to be erected at the entrance to Calais. A letter from thence states, that an eligible spot is selecting for this desirable purpose, and when the danger of the entering of that harbour is considered, such a measure must appear highly beneficial. The light is intended to

revolve, with deep red reflectors, and will be so placed as to be conspicuous in

all weathers to vessels bound thither.

The Paris papers have been unusually barren of interesting intelligence for this month past. They have been chiefly filled with accounts of disturbances in different parts of the kingdom, occasioned by the scarcity of grain, into which, in some instances, there seems to have en

tered a spirit of discontent with the present government. It does not appear,

however, that any deep-rooted or extensive conspiracy against the existing order of things has ever been discovered, though it may be true, that a few obscure individuals have availed themselves of the popular ferment produced by most severe privations, to lead on the ignorant and unthinking to acts of sedition. Within the last two or three weeks, the prices of grain have fallen greatly, and con tinue to fall. The harvest has begun in the south, and the produce is said to be abundant in every part of the kingdom.

SPAIN.

It is now confirmed that the great arsenal of Caracca, near Cadiz, has been totally consumed, with all its immense naval stores, by a conflagration which, there is reason to believe, was the result of a conspiracy.

By private accounts it appears, that the grand financial plan, projected by the minister Garay, is not to be carried into ex ecution til January 1818. This delay originates in the opposition of the nobles and high churchmen, who will be most affected by its being put into execution; and, in the meantime, it is expected that the minister himself will lose his place.

PORTUGAL.

Lisbon, May 27th 1817.-" I hasten to inform you of an alarming conspiracy, which, thanks to the vigilance and ener gy of Marshal Beresford, has, within the last twenty-four hours, been discovered and crushed in this city. Of the real intention of the conspirators we are yet ignorant; it is, however, certain, that the first act of vengeance would have been the destruction of their gallant Marshal, and Don Miguel de Forjaz, with the whole of the present regency. It is reported, that in the expectation of suc cess, an offer of the crown of Portugal had been made to the young Duke de Cardaval, the next a-kin to the present King, through his mother, who prudently rejected the offer. To complete the sanguinary and treacherous character of this black plot, a general massacre of the English residents was contemplated. Happily, the compunction of some of the conspirators has led to the detection of the treason. The Marshal having re ceived intelligence of their proceedings, on Sunday evening seized the whole, or

most of the ringleaders in their beds, and at the head of them proves to be the intriguing General Don Gomez Ferreira de Andrade. The Marquises of Abrantes and Valencia, the son of Baron Brancamp, and the Conde de Cunha, with about forty others, many of them persons of distinction, are said also to be apprehended and thrown into the dungeons of the castle of Belem. Don Gomez Ferreira is lodged in Fort St Julian, the governor of which has been superseded, and the command given to Sir Archibald Campbell. The two regiments of military police continue to parade the city, and the artillery guns, loaded to the muzzle with grape shot, are posted in different parts of the town. The conspirators had established printing presses, and prepared proclamations, all of which are seized. I am happy to add, that the disposition of the troops seems highly favourable, and we hear of only three officers of any rank who are at present implicated. It is strongly believed, that a close connexion has subsisted between those traitors and the insurgents at Pernambuco, and but for the energy and activity with which the government here have acted, no doubt can exist of the fate which awaited them. The 5th June, being the feast of Corpus Christi, was fixed upon for the explosion of the plot.

The conspirators are now under trial before a chief judge, four assistants, and a secretary. The examinations have hitherto been private, but some of the sentences are expected to be published next month. About fifty persons are in éustody.

GERMANY.

Prohibition of Bible Societies in Hungary.Buda, May 3.-The following circular letter to the clergy in Hungary was issued on the 23d December last year, by the Government in this city :

Considering that the London Bible Association has caused the establishment of several affiliated Societies, particularly in Germany, and that several such associations in the Imperial hereditary dominions, particularly among the Protestants, have more intimate connexion in view, his Sacred Majesty has been graciously pleased to ordain, that care be taken that printed copies of the bible be not circulated gratis, or at a low price, by such Foreign Associations and Societies in his Majesty's hereditary domin. ions, nor the establishment of a Bible Association be allowed. For the rest, his Sacred Majesty is graciously pleased to allow the trade with bibles as with all other books by booksellers, according to the ordinances published on this subject. VOL. I.

The royal Government hereby publishes this his Majesty's resolution, that the most punctual care may be taken to observe it in every point.

Given at Buda, the 23d December

1816, in the assembly of the members of the Royal Hungarian Govern

ment.

The ceremony of the marriage of the archduchess Leopoldine with the king of Portugal took place by proxy at Vienna, on the 14th May. Owing to the insurrection in Brazil, the princess had not sailed for that country at the date of the latest despatches from Portugal.

Vienna, June 4.The following are some of the details of the arrest of Santini. This man had obtained pass. ports in England to go to Italy, where he pretended to have some family affairs to arrange. He was strictly watched in this country, and having passed by Kragenfurt, about the middle of the last month, he was arrested on the frontiers of Lombardy, and conducted under an escort to Milan. It is said, that papers of great importance were found upon him. He was apprehended on a road different from that prescribed to him, and which he should have taken, if he meant only to go to Genoa, and from thence to Corsica..

The states of Wirtemberg having rejected the constitution, as modified by the royal rescript of the 26th May, by 67 voices against 42, have been dissolved.

America.
