French Papers.
(Frorm the Etvile. ) The news of the declaration of independence by the Pacha of Egypt seems somewhat improbable. How happeas it, in point of fact, that it did not rather reach us by the medium of our merchan t- ships which are in direct intercourse with Egypt, than by the chan- nel of Odesss and Augsbturg ? Al. the Duke De Cazes is arrived in Paris. At. Brown, who succeeds Ill. Gallatinas Envoy of the United States in France, har recentlv arrived at Cherbourg, in the Cyane frigate. The ConisUitzionnel announces that Al. Lareveillere-Lepaux, ex-AMember of the National Convention and of the Executive Directory, died in Paris on the evening of the 28th instant, at the age of 70 years. " A good man has juist departed this life," says the Courrier Francais. What virtues, what services recommend this good mnan . He imbrued his hands in the blood of hisSove- reign. What more ? He solemnly abjured the religion in which he was born, in order to found a new church. Such are the good mnen of the Courrier! Advices from Rome, dated the 10th instant, state-" The con- valescence of the Pope makes slow but sensible progress. Yesterday his Holiness was enabled to cause himself to be conveyed in a chair to the chaDel of the Quirinal, where the Lent sermon is preached every Friday." " A melancholv catastrophe has recently occurred at Rome. An English family were taking a ride along the banks of the Tiber, when the horse on which the niece of Lord Halmer- was mounted, stumbled and fell into the river. Aliss Batburst floated a few seconds, and then disappeared for ever from the eyes of all her family. l,ord Halmer instantly plunged in; but his effbrts were vain, and he narrowly escaped becoming himself a victim of the rapidity of the stteam. The Duke de Laval de hlontmorency, who was a witness of this fatal accident, is, as well as the whole city of Rome, absorbed in the most intense grief." In a note the Etoile says-" Miss Bathurst was the niece of Lord Bathurst, the present Minister of the Colonies of England, and the daughter of Illr. Batburst, who twenty years ago, in traversing a forest on his way to Hamburgh, disappeared, and it has never since been known what became of hin." BARCELONA, ALklCtH 7. A funeral ceremony took place on the 7th instant at St. Laurent Saball, in honour of five victims, who, in a period of calamity for Catalonia, were sacrified to the sanguinary orders of the ferocious lRotten. Their remains, which had been deposited in the earth with- out any religious ceremony at Valdoreix, have been exhumated, and I translated, with religious solemnity, to St. Laurent SabaU, where funeral honours have been paid to them. These victims were- Don Jean Carbonneil, curate; Don Jean Roquet, Yicar; Don Vin. cent Quimana, nriest; Don Jean Serra, priest; and Pierre Mlar- quet, fanrer. Their throats were inhumanly cut by atrocious men, who, in their last moments, refused them even religious aid.
