Dierukx is by birth a Belgian; the others are French. It ap¬ pears that this notable fcheme originated with Laborde, who has fled, in July or Au- guft laft. He communicated it to Piger ; and in order to procure the pecuniary means requiGte for carrying it into execu¬ tion. Berth was applied to. The latter not having furniihed money according to his promifc, the project was laid afide un¬ til the latter end of October, when the Emperor Alexander returned from his tour to France. It was then refumed, and Di'reukx, who was made privy to it, furnifhed Piger with a letter to a tavern- keeper at Bouflu, to procure a party of fanugglers for its execution, and fupplied him with a route for conveying the Em¬ peror into France by the least frequented road".

Lacroix caufed jnother letter, couched in ftrongcr terms than the firft, to be written to the tavern keeper at BouiTu, defiring him to procure 40 fmugglers, chiefly foldiers of the old guard. This was delivered to Piger, who alfo received fromLacroixtwentyguincas to bear his expenfes. He was further pro¬ vided with piftols, a new fuit of clothes, and a cane, on the head of which was a figure of Napoleon. Piger reached B#us- su or. the 10th of November, and there learning that the perfon to whom he was addrefled had removed to Einche, he for- warded the letter to hirn, and returned to Mons, where he was arretted on the 14th. h\ the mean time Lacroix flocked his re- f.dence with arms and ammunition, the more effectually to gain the confidence of his affociates, and to make frefh dupes. Berth, it appears, difclofed the plot on the 9th of -November, to a perfon of dis¬ tinction, who communicated it to the King of the Netherlands.

There are at piefent twelve families in Europe, that are dignified by the polTefTim of royal crowns and eight that reign un¬ der the titles of grand dukes dukes and princes, making altogether twenty reign¬ ing families. Of the twelve royal frmi- lies, there are two French, eight Get man, one Italian by defcent, but German by patrimony, and one Afiatic. We (hall name them in their alphabetical order. 1. The family of Alfaacc This lord is the common flock of the h«ufes of Hapibourg and Lorraine, now confounded in the houfe of Zaringen, whence that of Baden is derived. The houfe of Lorraine reigns in Auflria, Tufcany ?nd Modena In this latter country it has, within our time, taken the name of Eile. 2.

There is another Cape- tian branch, which, however, it not the ifTue of legitimate marriage. From Into baftard fcinn fprings the houfe of Bragan sa, that reigns in Portugal. 4. The houfe of Guelfc. in originally of | Italy, where, however, it has no pofTea- fion3.—It Is the younger branch of the ancient and real houfe of Efte. The Guelfes are divided into two branches, the younger of which bears the crowns of Great Britain and Ireland and Hanover ; while the elder, lefs favoured by fortune, but not lcftf illuflrious by the merit of its princes, reign9 under the name of Bruns¬ wick. e. The h^of^ of Hnhen*o1|rrn experi¬ enced a fimilar fate as that of the Guelfcs The elder branch of this family has pre- ferved its modeft patrimony in Suabia, while the younger branch, tranfplantcd to the north, has founded the Pruflian mo¬ narchy. •' The houfe of Holttein bears the im perial crown of Ruffia, and that of Den¬ mark ; and not long fince it reigned alfo in Sweden. One of the branches of this houfe governs the grand duchy of Olden- bourg." 7. The houfe of Naffau is alfo one of thofe of which the younger branch ha» ac¬ quired a more brilliant deftiny than the elder. After many viciffitudes, the youn- gei line of this houfe is feated on the throne of the Netherlands; the elder governs the duchy of N^tTau. 8. The houfe of Ofman, of Tnrkifh origin, now reduced by a baibarous policy to one prince in the flower of his age, and two young children. 9. T! e 'loufe of Savoy. This houfe bears the crown of Sardinia. 10. The houfe of Wcttirj, or of Mifnia, which reigns in Saxony, wheic the younger line bears the royal title. The elder branch is honored with feveral ducal and grand ducal titles. ti- The houfe of WIttelbach bears the crown of Bavaria. The following families arc of different religions.

A trur r-lutton of the remit of Sir Qre%or Mac- gregor's cjpedition itgtinst the isthmus of Pa- nam a. First Epocha. On the 8th of April, 5 vefllle, viz, 1 larpe fhip, 1 brig, 1 of fmallcr fizc, and 2 fchooners appeared in fi^ht of the port of Chagres, and fceming to fhape their courfe toward* Porto Bel'o, it was underftood from the ommander of an EngJifh brig lying at anchor near Chagres, that it was Macgrcgor's fleet. On the 12th w« received intelligence from Port Hello, ihat the troop! on board the faios had difembar- ked on the 9th on the c»aft of Noro, and had on the toth tdken poff/Gon of the torts and town of Porto Bello, without any other impediment than the refinance of nine negroes who had oppofed their landing, and retreated al>cr having received adifchaige of grape-ihoc fromthe artillery. The governor, a pufillarwmous nnn, after ftvcral conferences with ihc captain of an Enghfh brig, no doubt left Pnrto fa\\0 to wa.chthe fucctfs of the expedition pot daring to follow the advice of thi\ eap-an, to h. ift F.nglili colours, as being thton|y way to fave the town. After having -;vrn up to this generoun protector his Umily and property, he abandoned, during night, the town and f.»t-t leaving a numrro0, artillery in the beft order, with the pc*.dcr and ammunition, and reticard with the gamTon of about 255 men, and all the inhabitants, towards a bo;!' of troop* placed it a fmall diftance froa the town, ready to alTifl him at the firfl notice of any danger from the enemy. M^cGregor h-t"ing well fecured ihU retreat, and the forts b^ing aband'ned, entered on the morning the harbour with his flu'ps, landed the Hoops and took pos- leffion of the place, when l,i> fit ft care was to ifTue the following pioclamation at the head of his aimy. a Proclamation From the London Morning Chronicle of May !2. A motion was made in the Houfe of fomrnonj, on the roth mu\ to reduce the number of regiments in the Britifh army, by which nearly half a million of dollars would b* faved ; but it was rejected, as were other motions made with a view to introduce economy into the military ex¬ penditures. The attorney general gave notice that he fhould ask leave to bring in a bill to prevent Britilh fubjects from en- lifting in any foreign fervicc without a crown licence. A report had been re¬ ceived in London, that the Itritifti troops ftationed in the interior of the feltlcmcnt at the Cape of Good Hope, had been fur. ptil'cd by the natives, and fome of them, 2mong whom were three officers, flaugh- tered. Tranquility was rellored. The I police of Vienna is ftated, in an article from that place, to have difcovercd *' a fe- cret cypher ufed by perfons, who, by mean* of the ICnglifh journals, correspond with Napoleon ( aod that thus an adver¬ tisement, relating in appearance to ordinary family affairs, being read by means of this fecrct cypher, prefents a political meaning very remarkable." The Vienna journals fay that the report of an attempt to poifon the Emperor of Auflria is a fabrication at Paris or London, where a tyftcm of that kind is carried on. Mr. Tierney has given notice in the Houfe of Commons that he would on the 16th of May move that body to go into a committee on the ftate of the nation, that they might fee the actus! condition of their foicign and doracflic affairs, and afecnain G'ntrgl MacGrt/*t>r tr> hit ./rmu.

The light brigade under the orden of ■ he gallant Colonel Rafle, overcame rb- ftacles and difficulties which only men of your enthufiafm could have attempted. The advance led by t'«e brave Cat-tain Rofs attacked the enemy with fi.ch intre¬ pidity that they fled with fear and aftonifh ment to their works. The navy under Commodore Hudfon in cover-ng the landing and the diverfmn they made in attacking th- Spanifh forts in the harbour, did every thing that tteir intre¬ pidity gave me a right to expect of them. The captains and feamrn r.f ifir irsna- ports are defcrving of every praife for the exertions they made in lauding the troops. Soldiers,—Our firft conquaft has been glorious, and has opened the road to for¬ tune and additional fame—Panama invites our approach, and the South Sea fhall foon behold upon hei fhores the conquerors of the Ifthmui." The refult of the action which gave rife to this proclamation is well known. No Spaniard has been wounded at the landing, and but two Englifhracn have been made prifoncrs. By another proclamation to the inhabi¬ tants, he promifes fccunty and fafety to their perfons and property ; it produced the return of a fmall number. During his ftay in this place, his promifes were held facred, no perfon was facrifieed, and as refpect*) the property, the army took but what was convenient, and gave for it acknowledgements dating them payable at Panan-a, the feat of the riches of the Illhmus. The 15th, the brig, the only man of war in this expedition, prefented itfrlf before Chagres, and through the means of the commander of the Englilh brig, fenc in a proclamation of a rigorous blockade. Second Epocha. The gallant Captain General comman¬ ding at Panama, on the firft information received from Jamaica, caufed a body of troops to march in the neighbourhood of Porto Bcilo3 aod reinforced the garufoo. of Chagres on the ncwa of trie appearance oF the mips—fie conducted the remain¬ der of the gam'fon of Panama to a place where he would be able to march to the point his assistance might be most necclTa- ry, heau'ng that the enemy was at Porto Bello; and having completely fecured Chagres, fhould they attempt any thing on that fide, he approached with his men, through rosds that baffled all defcription, aiil formed a junction with the body of troops posted near Porto Bello, with as much promptitude as the roads and the tranfport of ammunition would permit. United with this body of troops, and hav¬ ing procured as much intelligence of the poiition and strength of the enemy as was pcflible, he made his diTpofitinns for the attack. The genera! commenced his march on the 29th, during the worst of weather and a continual rain, which how¬ ever, did not hinder him from advancing by day and night. On the 30th, at 6 o'clock, A. M. the enemy was attacked at three different points, by foldiers who were fatigued by a long march, and covered with mud from head to foot: neverthelefs the forts were retaken at the point of the bayonet, and by 10 o'clock the Spanifh flag was flying every where. The lofs in this attack, made without a piece of ar¬ tillery, on a place studded with cannon, was 60 men killed or wounded on the Spanifh fide, and the whole of the army of the enemy, viz. 45 officers and 14c pri- vatcs killed or dangeroufly wounded ; 316 officers and 319 privates prifoncrs. By the difpofuions of the general and promptitude of the attack, nothing was faved but McGregor hitnfelf, who, in the first of theaction, leaped in his very fhir t thro' a window ao feet high and fituatcd to¬ wards the harbour, he fwam to a boat, and rowedhimfelfonboardhis brig,as did He- wile one of his woundedaids. The want of fhipping to oppofc the fortie of McGre¬ gor's people that were eager to be out of reach of the batteries, made their efcape. The brig having about 50 of them on board, and the four other vefTels together aboat 30. Such is the refult of the famous expe¬ dition, fo boasted of in the Jamaica pa- pcrs, in paiticu.ar at the intelligence of McGregor's entrAnce into Porto Bello. It will be curioos to fee how ihcfe papeis will give an account of his defeat. As for the Spanifh army, we want words to give them full justice on its labour, per- fevcrauce and courage, to which we arc indebted for this glorious viSory.

The prifuuers have been conducted heicAcaonot but givcoraile to the clemency & humanity ot tiic officer) and ;-i,i<J j'.-r. who elcorted them. 1 he offi¬ cer* have been fait into the interior; and the privates, mechanics and husbandmen, that have fhewn any defire ot obtaining occupation, have been confided to citi¬ zens, aniw^rlng for their iatcty, and pay¬ ing them for their work—^which may pro¬ cure ihem a comfortable fubfistence, if their conduct renders them worthy ot the protection that has been grautcd them. Except nine Spanifh cieoles, 2 of whom joined them at Porto Bello, the army of McGregor was competed of Englifhmcn and Iriflin-en, who for the most p&rt had ferved ihe last campaign in Europe. A fchooner, from Jamaiea, with a tcin- forceraent of 85 men, btfides the crew, and loaded with pr»vifions and ammuni¬ tion, prefented herfelf, at the entrance of the port, a ftw days after McGregor's defeat.

MU;\f.O PARK. To the Editors of the Liverpool Mercury* Gentlemen. I have this morning received a letter. via Malta, from a brother of mine at Jwldah, on the Red Sea, from which I send you the following extract : if you think any credit is due to the assertions of Pearce, you can (if you think proper) give it a place in the Mercury, if not you con as easily burn It, Yours, &c. JI. B. Liverpool, Church-st. May 6, 1819, " Dec. !8, 1818.—On my landing at Juddah,a place where I did not expect to hear an English word, 1 was accosted by a man in the complete costume of the country, with * Are you an Englishman, sir V My answer being of course in the affirmative, appeared to give him pleas¬ ure beyond expression. 4 Thanks and praises to God !' he exclaimed, * I once more hear an English tongue, which I have not done for fourteen years before.* I have been much amused by him since; his account of the Abyssinians, the in¬ habitants of a country that has abso'bed fourteen years of his existence, is trul/ interesting. You must, no doubt, have heard or read of him ; he is that Na¬ thaniel Pearce spoken of by Mr. Salt, in his aecount of h\< travels in Abyssinia. He was left there by Lord Valtntia, and has been the greater part of the time in the service of one or other of the chief* in various parts of the country. At (lie time I met with him, he we.-; endeavoring to make his way to Tombtictoo, where he says MtlOgO Park is still in existence, detained by the chief.—He says that the country almost idolize him for his skill in surgery, astrooomy, &c« Arc. The/ say he is nu angel, come from heaven to administer comforts to them ; ami he explains to them the motions and uses of the heavenly bodies. He is, Pearce sayftf very desirous to make his escape, but finds it impossible. 4 What V say they, 'dovouaaVt** ' /7 with so invaluable a treasure I l\ you g* away, where are «e to find another pos¬ sessing so much knowledge, or who will d» us so much good V Pearce appeared to have been resolutely bent on endear- orii g to reach Totnbuctoo, but had for some timP been laboring under sever© illness.'*—&c Ac. Ac. The following is the opinion of the editor of the Liverpool Courier on the late communication relative to Mungo Park as contained in that paper of the 12th May ; Happy fhonld we be, if Pearce's (late- ment fhould be found correct, and the illuftrious P«i* flill in exiftence. _ That Pearce gave the relation to the writer of the letter, we do not doubt ; but we queftion the truth of the relation. Theie is a greater weight of evidence to prove the melancholy fate of Park, than there is to prove his being dill in exillence. No in¬ telligence has been received from him Cnce he left Sanfanding, in the year 1805 (and this facl, itfclf, is a fttong prefumption that he is not now in exigence, and a cor¬ roboration of the feveral accounts which have been publifhed refpeifting the manner of his death, the moft recent of which we infcrted laft week. Pearce, we fuppofe, obtained his intelligence refpccling Park, in Abyfinia ; but the diflance of Tom- buftoo from the Eaftcrn Coaft is fo great, and the intermediate regions fo completely a /erra ineognita, that this confideration, alone, is fufficient to overthrow the whole (lory. But, there i* one fact which to oar minds, is decifive againfl the truth of Pearce's relation. Many of our readers may have read the nanative of Robert Adams, a failor, who was wrecked, in iflio, on the Wefl-m Coaft of A*Vira. detained by the Arabs of the Great Dcfart, and carried by them to Tombufcloo. He remained there feveral months ; refided the whole period of his ftay, in the palace of Woolo, the King, and frequently walk, cd about town. Adams, from ihe uncom¬ mon degree of curiofity which he excited, believed that the people of Tombu&oo had never feen a white man before. Now, fuppoGng Park to have been then detained in that City, (and he mufl have been there at that time, if Pearce's ftory be true) en¬ gaged in explaining to the rude and ignor¬ ant natives the fublimc fcience of Aftrono- my, is it at all probable, either that Ad¬ ams would not have feen or heard of fo wonderful a man ; or that Park would not have found fome means of communication with Adams ? The writer of the letter Ktates, that, when he met him at Juddah, Pearce was endeavouring to make hi* way to Tom- bnAoo. This, in our opinion, is as im¬ probable as the toiy about Parks. For where io this Juddah ? It is, no doubt, the well-known feapwit of Arabia Felix en the Red Sea. If it be fo, and if Pearce was endeavouring to penctiate to the far famed Tombuctoo, is it not a little lingu¬ lar that he fliould endcavonr to do fo from Juddah, which h on the Afiatic fide of the Red Sea, which, before he could com¬ mence bis journey, he mud crofs to the African fide ?" The Arabian Manufcript obtaiaed bf
