BY DON LEUCADIO DOBLADO. " The slight mixture of liction which these le. fcters contain might raise a doubt whether the sketches of Spanish manners, customs, and opinions, by means of Which the author has endeavoured to pourtray the moral . state of his country; may not be exaggerated by fancy, and coloured with a view to mere ett'ect; and it is chiefly on this account that he deems it necessary to assure the public of the reality of every circumstance mentioned in his book, except the name of Leucadio Doblado."— Extract from the Preface.

P A T T E R S O N ' S I C E P A I L. JOHN PATTERSON, Furnishing Ironmonger, No. 41, New Bridge- street, Blackfriars, has invented an Ice Pail on a new and philosophical principle; by means of which, Wines, Cream, Butter, Fruit, and other Substances, fluid or solid, may be cooled and kept cool, with a degree of efficacy and precision hitherto unknown. To prove this, it may be sufficient to state, that if springwater be placed in these Pails at the common temperature of 52 degrees, it will retain that temperature for many Hours, although surrounded by an atmosphere 30 degrees higher; and if the water be cooled down, as it easily and quickly may be, by Ice, or by a substitute for Ice, to any given point, the same uniformity may be maintained, as to the lowered temperature, for a great length of time. In this way Wines, and other Materials, may be brought to any state of coolness desired, and kept ready for use, in that state, during the greater part of a day; or during the whole of an afternoon and evening:— an accommodation of serious and obvious importance, not only in well- regulated domestic economy, but as regards the arrangements of Hotels, Taverns, Club- houses, Coft'ee- Houses, and other public establishments. PATTERSON'S ICE PAILS are manufactered in handsome » and simple forms: of various sizes, and at » moderate prices. They may be had at his house, No. 41, on the east side of New Bridge- street; the second house from Ludgate Hill, and at no other place in London. Ice Buckets, by which Ice can be preserved for several davs, and PATTERSON'S SPARE BED WARMER, by which beds are kept in a constantly well aired state, however seldom used, are also to be had as above. T ADIES or Gentlemen who frequent Ball- rooms, Theatres, or other hot crowded places, should use ATKINSON'S CURLING FLUID, or VEGETATIVE HAIR OIL, for dressing their Hair, as it keeps it fi'om falling out of Curl;— harsh or dry hair it makes soft as silk, and gives it a gloss and fascinating appearance, which neither Oils, Extracts, nor any other article ever invented can produce; and where the Hair has fallen off from illness, accouchement, change of climate, & c., it will generally restore it to its original streiyrth and thickness ; price 3s. 6d. And ATKINSON'S VEGETABLE DYE, which changes Grey or Red Hair, on the Head or Whiskers, to permanent brown or black, which washing, & c. instead of removing renders more durable; price 5s. And ATKINSON'S AMBROSIAL SOAP, made by a new process; it much milder than the common Soaps, prevents the hands chapping, and makes the skin smooth, white, and even ; priee Is.

The woman stood almost petrified, whilst the fellow related that her husband ( who works in the Dock) had, about half an hour before, fallen f r om the yard of the vessel, by which he received a compound fracture in the leg. However, he said, she must not despair, as the surgeon who was called told him to fetch Mr. Astly Cooper, who would set tlie bones, and he would be well in a few days. The poor woman urged him to go with all speed; to which he replied, that it was useless unless he had a sovereign, as the other t ) o c t o r told him Mr. Cooper would not come without that. Away ran Mrs. Moss, and borrowed one at the public house, which she put i n to the fellow's hand, and oft" he went with seeming alacrity. As she was gett i ng ready to go down to her husband's work, t h e latter suddenly entered as sound in health as when he went out On hearing what had happehed, he went in pursuit as far as the Town Hall, but it seems the rascal had taken another course. Sunday afternoon a tremendous fire broke out in the premises of Mr. Shakespeare Reed, and Mr. G. W. Wainwright, White's Yard, Dock- street, Upper East Smithfield, near the western entrance of t h e London Docks.— Messrs. Shakespeare Read and Wainwright carried on the largest plate glass manufactory in London, and a fire in these extensive premises even in the day time, occasioned the utmost consternation and alarm in the whole of the eastern part of the Metropolis. Although there was plenty of water, and prompt assistance was afforded by t h e fire engines, yet the flame defied all attempts t o overcome it. The premises were on every side encompassed with buildings, and they are now partly reduced to a heap of ruins. Captain Cumberland, who commanded the picket of the 3d Guards at the Tower, instantly turned out, and brought the picket to the spot. They were of the most essential service in clearing away the neighbouring ground for the firemen to work their engines ; and they were promptly assisted by Jeffrey and his assistants, of the Thames Police, aided also by the Gentlemen in the neighbourhood, many of whom are constables, and were preparing to go to church when this event happened. The property destroyed is immense. It was not possible to ascertain how the fire originated. A great number of industrious men are, we fear, through this unfortunate circumstance, thrown out of employment for a time. l \ f ORRIS's GOLDEN ANTIBILIOUS or ^ FAMILY PILLS.— Thc Recipe for these Pills was given to the Proprietor, by a late most eminent Physician to the Royal Family, at Windsor, and administered in private practice for upwards of Thirtv Years, as an admirable Medicine for Bilious Complaints, Indigestion, Flatulencies, Heartburn, Costiveness, Spasms, Head- Aches, Affections of the Liver, & e. & c. Men of studious and Sedentary Habits, and those who have indulged too freely in the luxuries of the Table; such as are troubled with Scorbutic Humours, & c Merchants, Captains, and Persons going abroad, will find them a remedy highly beneficial, and a great preservative to their general Health; and will likewise prove to be a most effectual Medicine to expel Worms from Children— they are so safe that no alteration in diet or confinement is re juisite.

The good understanding between the Chinese and the English was then perfectly re- established. The Factory returned to Canton oil the 25th of February, and the season then being far advanced, every exertion was made to complete the cargoes, and dispatch the remaining ships. It appears that the Viceroy of Canton had been placed in an awkward predicament, on account of the supposed facility with which he had allowed the quarrel with the English to be adjusted.— Placards had been exhibited in the streets, contrasting his conduct in the affair of the American seaman, strangled for accidental homicide, and in allowing the English to escape, who had committed wilful murder, at least according to the Chinese interpretation of the affair. On the other hand the Viceroy, it seems, has still to justify his conduct to the Emperor for having restored the trad^, though life woidd probably have been sacrificed had the revenue of Canton, which depended on that trade, fallen short of its usual amount. The Waterloo left China the Kith of March, two days after the Charles Grant and Kellie Castle, which ships she came up with in the Straits ofSunda, and all three, without having sailed in company, anchored at St. Helena the 18th June. TheKeilieCastleandthe Charles Grant were to sail from St. Helena on the 23d. The ships expected to sail from China within the fortnight succeeding the departure of the Waterloo were in the following : her to summon all her fortitude, as he had most afflicting news rotation: Bridgewater, Lowther Castle, Atlas, and Gen. Kyd. The Vansittart arrived in China on the March, which ship, and the Scaleby Gastle, were lying at Wham- ^ aoa, and would ptobably be ready to sail for England by \ e middle of April. Extract of a Utter from Pisa, dated J u l y 2 5 , 1 8 2 2 :— " I trust that the first news of the dreadful calamity that has befallen us here, will have been broken to you by report, otherwise I shall come upon you with a most painful abruptness. But Shelley, my divine- minded friend— your friend— the friend of the Universe— he has perished at sea ! He was in a boat with his friend Captain Williams, going from Leghorn to Lerica, when a storm arose, and it is supposed the boat must have foundered.— It was on the 8th instant, about four or five in the evening they guess. A fisherman says he saw the boat a few minutes before it went down— he looked again, and it was gone. He saw the boy they had with them aloft furling one of the sails. We hope this story is true, as their passage from life to death will then have been short; and what adds to the hope is, that in S.' s pocket ( for their bodies were both thrown on shore some days afterwards), a copy of Keates's last volume which he had borrowed of me to read on his passsage was found open and doubled back, as if it had been thrust in in the hurry of a surprise. God bless him! I cannot help thinking of' him as if he were alive as much as ever, so unearthly he always appeared to me, and so seraphical a thing of the elements. It has been often feared that Shelley and Captain Williams would meet with some accident, they were so hazardous; but when they set out on the 8th in the morning it was fine. Our dear friend was passionately fond of the sea, and has been heard to say he should like it to be his death bed.'' Letters dated the 28th ult. were received yesterday from Vienna. They are chiefly of importance for being more explicit than any preceding ones respecting the approaching- Congress of Sovereigns, on which so much of the attention of Europe is fixed. It is now stated, and the account may, we believe, be relied on, tliat residences have been engaged in Vienna for the Emperor of Russia and the King of Prussia. Prince Esterhazy is now on his way to that capital, and the Marquis of Londonderry, we understand, is expected there. All the Members of the Congress, it is said, will have assembled in Vienna in the beginning of the next month. But it is not at Verona that the deliberations will be conducted ; nor is it certain that the Sovereigns will honour them with their presence in person. The Austrian capital h a s ' b e e n fixed on in the first instance as a central spot in which the preliminaries could best be adjusted and the course of proceeding laid down. These once agreed on, the Congress will be opened either at Verona or Florence, and the important business commenced. There is no doubt that ihe discussions will include both the affairs of the Greeks, and the terms on which Naples will be evacuated by the Austrian troops. The letters from Vienna, from which these facts are derived, are of the first authority— Englishman. ., t A Public Meeting took place at Edinburgh on Wednesday last, in the Merchants' Hall, for the purpose of considering the most effectual means of alleviating t he sufferings of the Greeks, the following Resolutions, moved by the Rev. Dr. M'Crie, and seconded by R. Hunter, Esq. were unanimously adopted:— " That the name and history of the Greeks are associated with recollections of the most sacred nature, and excite in the breast of the scholar, the patriot, and the Christian, a deep and lively interest in the fate of that once illustrious but long oppressed and degraded people. " That this Meeting has heard, with the utmost concern and distress, of the wanton cruelties which, as appears from the most credible documents, have been inflicted on the Greeks during the struggle which they have maintained for some time with the Ottoman Power, and especially in the recent transactions within the island of Scio, where a great part of the inhabitants, while conducting themselves peaceably and submissively, were massacred in cold blood by the Turks, and the remainder thrown into captivity, or obliged to seek for safety by flying to foreign shores with the loss of all their property. " That a subscription be immediately opened for the relief of those Sciots who survive that massacre, and of such other Greeks as may be placed in similar circumstances.'' Recent lettters from India state, that the Glasgow frigate Captain B. C. Doyle, had arrived at Calcutta, to embaik the Marquis of Hastings and suite, and that the ship will also bring to England fifty- five lacs of rupees in silver ( the almost incre. dible sum of 2,750,0001.) ; and that the Ganges, new teak 80- gun ship, Capt. F. A. Collyer, C. B . would shortly sail for England, from Bombay, with the 65th regiment on board, and forty- five lacs of rupees ( about 2,250,0001.), on account of the Honorable East India Company and other British merchants.— Hampshire Telegraph. Extract of a letter f r om an Officer in the British army, dated Bombay, Feb. 28 : — Since writing to you, we have had a little brush with the In. dians here, in consequence of some squabbling among thenv selves. • The battalion was ordered to inarch from Banda after 30 minutes' notice. This sudden movement was owing to serious disputes between Jose Sceundah ( Scindiah's General) and the Tehree Rajah, one of the feudal Chiefs of Bundlecund. whose territory borders on that of Scindiah. The quarrel originated in some trifling matter— I fancy of etiquette on the part of Scindiah's Vakeel and the Tehree Rajah. Words as usual were followed by blows, and a pitched baLtle was fought between ' the Betiva and the Dussawn River by a party of Scindiah's army and that of the Rajah, the former being defeated with loss of guns, & c. Incensed at the loss, Sceunuah collected his whole army, with an immense train of artillery, and took up a position within a few miles of Tehree, threatening destruction. In this state of affairs the Governor- General's Agent arrived as mediator, but refused to treat with either party until they separated their troops, and gave up all hostile appearances. Sceundah appeared to hesitate, and be slow in his movements, amounting almost to a denial of the British authority. The agent to Government determined to support its dignity, assembled by forced marches all the troops in Bundlecund, stopped his Majesty's 24th and tiie 3d Native Infantry, passing through Bundlecund to the relief of a battalion ; and field- trains were called from Cawnpore, & c. & c. Thus, in a very few days, an army was collected, which Sceundah did not at all like, and he took himself oil', ready to agree to any terms, however hard. We thought matters adjusted, and were preparing to return to cantonments, when an order arrived from the Resident at Gwalior, to stand fast, and it is supposed to be the intention of Scindiah to take advantage of the present conduct of Sceundah, as an excuse for calling in the assistance of the British - Government in seizing him, which he has long wished, but been unable to do. Sceundah has beer, a rebel to Scindiah for several years, and makes his own collections for the payment of t h e troops. Since this took place I have been ordered here, and how it was settled, or whether it still remains to be so, 1 cannot say," Thomas Hunt, Esq. of Messinet, Devon, has this season cut and housed several acres of Egyptian barley, the produce of a small sample which he procured from France three years ago. It is said that it was first brought to France from Egypt by some of Bonaparte's army. The grain has much the appearance of wheat; the husk is very thin; it yields more and much finer flour than common barley, and is extremely productive. Saturday morning Alexander John Spence, who was capitally convicted at the last Dover Sessions, under LordEllenborough's Act, underwent the awful sentence of the law at Dover. On leaving the jail he ascended the ladder with a firm step, and met his fate with a fortitude which astonished every beholder. His youth ( being only 22 years of age) gave rise to strong petitions in his favour; and his friends cherished the hope of a reprieve till the very last moment. S H A M E F U L FRAUD.— A fraud of a novel and most brutal nat u r e was on Thursday livening practised on Mrs. Moss, a respectable married woman, residing at No. 2, White Bear- garden, Kent- street, Borough. About six o'clock a young man, dressed in a greasy velvet jacket, with a blue apron before him, rushed up to the door, almost breathless with haste, and asked for the lady by name. Mrs. M. came down, and the fellow perceiving that she was in the family way, determined to turn the circumstance to his advantage, and, accordingly began by calling upon [ N o . 1 0 , 1 04 Augr 7, Sarah Margaret, the wife of George Bailey, " Vauxhall, Surrey. 3 Aug. 8, in Camden- street, aged 66, Wm.

L I M E R I C K , AUG. 7.— Our assizes for the present terminated yesterday— for the present we say, as they are adjourned to the 4th September— during the unprecedented time they continued, the judges had scarcely a moment of relaxation, as the painful investigations that daily presented themselves, occupied their undivided attention, and the result is, that the law hae condemned thirty- two fellow beings to an ignominious death; eleven to banishment, and these, exclusive of seven for Miss Goold's abduction, whose sentence has been arrested on points of law. I n the midst of such awful and terrific punishments, it is with deep regret we say that outrages still continue in this county. ATTKMI'T AT ASSASSINATION.— On Sunday last, as Andrew Batwell, Esq. a magistrate of this county, was riding towards Charleville, at an early hour in the morning, he observed a notice, signed by order of Capt.- Gen. Rock, posted on the old turn- pike at the foot ofBallyhoura, which he instantly took down and carried away. On his return homewards by a dillerent rout, about noon the same day, he was wavlayed at Ballyhoura Mountain, by four men, one of whom was armed with a pistol, and fired at him, happily without effect. Mr. Batwell was accidently unarmed, as his active exertions in preserving the peace of his neighbourhood and bringing offenders to justice, have rendered him so obnoxious as to oblige him, for his own protection, constantly to ride with pistols. Though attacked by the other three men with stones, he fortunately escaped without injury, by the speed o f h i s horse. On Monday night last, a party of about twenty men attacked the house of James Darcy Evans, Esq. of Knockaderry, in this county, between the hours of twelve and one o'clock. They came round t o the area of the house, and attempted to effect an entrance by removing the still stones under the parlour window, so as to prevent any noise, and by that means to admit one of their body. They were, however, fortunately overheard by the dogs of the house, who made an alarm, which roused two of the servant men, who immediately got up, and the party finding their attempt was discovered, made off without delay. On the night of Thursday last, an armed party of robbers attacked the house of a farmer named Daniel Hartnett, residing on the lands of Dromtrasna Collins, near Abbyfeal, the estate of D e Courcy O'Grady, Esq. which they burglariously broke open and entered, and after threatening himself and family with instant death if they made any alarm, they proceeded to rifle the house of every article portable therein, which they carried off. On Sunday morning, at the hour of two o'clock, twelve men well armed, entered the garden of Thomas Wade Foot, of pringfort, and demanded a gun which the gardiner had for protecting the fruit, and after they had searched the garden house and tent which was made for protecting the orchard, and t h e man assuring t h em that he had no gun, they went away without doing any injury. Several notices were on Saturday night posted up in the neighbourhood of Buttevant, ordering no person to take their tithe but on pain of death. Foot and his family are at the sea. On Sunday last, the Rev. Mr. Fitzgerald, P. P. of Newcastle, exhorted his flock, together with a numerous congretion f r om the different other parishes contiguous, who frequently repair to his chapel, having adverted to the many convictions which have taken place since the commencement of the assizes, and the unfortunate sufferers that have fallen victims to the offended laws of their country. He earnestly entreated them in a most pathetic manner, ( inasmuch as they regarded their salvation,) to set their faces against any future acts of disturbance and unite in securing and handing over to justice every offender in their neighbourhood. His discourse and delivery was so impressive that it drew forth sudden emotions of contrition f r om many of his hearers. Oil Wednesday, Mr. Matthews, verger of Cashel Cathedral, and Proctor for Mr. IIopps, had proceeded with another to value the tythes of Red City, when he and his companion were beat by a band of eleven ruffians whose faces were blackened ; and who fell upon them with brutal violence, having wou- nded him very severely on the head, and very seriously injured his companion. U N I O N H A L L. Yesterday a woman of very respectable appearance, named Burton, preferred a charge of robbery against one Mary Sexton, under the following aggravated circumstances -.— Mrs." Burton, who held an infant in her arms, stated that on Thursday last she left her lodgings at Pentonville, and walked to the house of a friend in Kennington, with the intention of remaining there until she should provide herself with apartments. She happened to be so unfortunately situated at thc moment of her departure f r om her lodgings, as not to be able to prove herself mistress o f a single shilling, and as if misfortune determined, according to custom, to play more tricks than one at a time, when the poor woman reached Kennington she learned that her friend had gone to the country. In such a dilemmashe had no alternative but that of taking refuge in one of the recesses of Westminster Bridge. Fatigued and agitated, she sat down on one of the seats, but was not there long when the prisoner, who was passing by, stopped, and made some kind inquiries about the child, offering to do both mother and child all the service in her power. Mrs. Burton, who thought that Providence had . sent her a friend in her distress, readily consented to follow the advice of the prisoner, to whom she confessed the deplorable state of her finances, and mentioned that her whole property was contained in a bundle. The prisoner perceiving that the child and the bundle would be too great a weight for the poor mother, offered to carry the latter, and recommended an immediate application to St. Martin's watch- house, where, she said, she had no doubt the constable would willingly permit her to remain for the night. They waiked to the watch- house, but the constable of the night refused Mrs. Burton admission, and she proceeded up St. Martin's- Iane accompanied by the prisoner, who still carried the bundle. The prisoner suddenly turned to Mrs. Burton, who began to be disconsolate, and telling her that the night constable should be prevailed upon to supply the lodging, went back to the watch- house, but never returned to Mrs. Burton, who lost her friend and bundle at the same time. The poor woman was obliged to walk the streets all night. A watchman stated that he apprehended the prisoner from the description given of her by Mrs. Burton, and found in her pocket two duplicates, one of which was for part of Mrs. Burton's clothes.— The prisoner was f u l ly committed.

India FRENCH PAPERS. g. 8.— Letters from Vienna and Odessa mendisturbances in the capital of the Ottoman ut without entering into any details. The n of Moldavia and Wallachia is spoken of, but ars that nothing has yet taken place beyond s and countermarches. The Gazette of Augsstates that the Janissaries evacuated Jassy on the , and were to evacuate Bucharest on the 15th. An authentic letter from Ulm gives the following intelligence :—" About the middle of June, the Egyptian iquadron under the orders of Ismail Gibraltar, with • which were joined several frigates, corvettes, and Turkish brigs, effected a landing on the island of Candia. Five thousand disembarked, and the squadron entered the port of Susa. It consisted of 14. frigates, corvettes, and armed brigs, and about 40 other vessels, most of them transports. The Candiotes, immediately after the landing, retired towards the mountains, to a position which was nearly inaccessible, conceiving, no doubt, that the enemy were more numerous than they really were. As soon as they had obtained accurate information of the enemy's numbers, and had reinforced themselves by some other corps which were posted on different points of the island, they made a general attack on the Egyptians, who had been joined by some of the Turks who had marched out from the fortresses which were in a state of blockade. A sanguinary conflict ensued which terminated entirely in favour of the Candiotes. The Egyptians and Turks, completely defeated, fled in the greatest disorder ; a small party were able to gain the forts, and the remnant of the Egyptian corps re- imbarked after having sustained great loss. The Candiotcs took possession of the Egyptian Artillery, a great quantity of arms, ammunition, & c. Many of the fugitives were drowned during the embarkation, which took place amidst the greatest confusion. The Egyptian squadron has quitted the fort of Suza, and lies off the island ; but i t will not remain there long, for a Greek squadron has left the port of Spezzia to attack it. Such are the contents of letters, to which every credit is due, which we have received from Leghorn and Naples, and which agree entirely in all the important circumstances of this affair.— Le Constitutionnel. Letters from Corfu, dated July 13, state that Arta has been taken by assault, by General Normann. The Greek Senate has ordered the building of a Christian Temple at Corinth, in commemoration of the destruction of the Turkish fleet. The Editor of a publication, entitled la Foundre, appeared yesterday before the Tribunal of Correctional Police, to answer a charge of having introduced politics in his paper, without having obtained authority to publish it, and without having given the security to which journals discussing political subjects are liable. M. de Barneville, Deputy of the Procureur du Roi, said, the government was the more surprised at the conduct of this Editor as they had warned him that they would be under the necessity of prosecuting him, if he did not confine himself to literary and theatrical subjects. M. Couture attended as Counsel for La Foundre.— ' We were born, said the Advocate, on the 31st of May, 1820. At the tender age of two months, ere we were yet firm on our legs, we addressed a letter to the Minister of the Interior, in which we lisped our desire of combatting the Liberals, and maintaining religious and monarchical principles, concluding with a prayer that such aid might be afforded us as would enable us to carry this laudable design into execution. The Minister took a hundred subscriptions, and continued his patronage until after the publication of a certain article respecting Berton. Surely, this conduct of the Minister may be considered as giving sufficient authority to the Editor of this paper to discuss political subjects. As to the question of security, M. Couture observed, that the Editor had offered to give security, and that the Chief Clerk of the Minister of the Interior had answered that the necessary steps would be taken. Besides, was not a journal conducted on such principles entitled to consider itself sufficiently authorised ? The Court sentenced the Editor to one month's imprisonment and a fine of 200 francs. The Constitutionnel gives details of the proceedings at Colmar up to the 2d of August, but the evidence is extremely unimportant. After the examination of several witnesses, whose testimony seemed to have no reference to the prosecutor's case, the 173d witness was called. This was a child of eleven years of age, who had found some balls in a canal. The 174th witness was a young man aged .18, who had likewise found « some balls in the beginning of April. The President.— All is sufficiently foreign to the question, but yet these are circumstances which ought to be cleared up. The Procureur- General— We leave this entirely to your wisdom. The Sitting was then adjourned. On the motion for retaining the tax on Newspapers, in the discussion on the finances, in the Sitting of the 7th, M. Benjamin Constant moved as an Amendment the suppression of the tax. The liberty of the journals, said he, will not survive the close of this Session a single month. Will pretexts be wanting? There will be war abroad, and real or pretended conspiracies, at home. The journals will be censured, and the t a x imposed on them will therefore become unjust, because the police will torture citizens, without its being known. The journals will be suppressed, and the tax imposed on them will therefore become unjust, because they will not be permitted to declare that French troops attack the liberty of Spain, and that Foreign troops oppress the French soil. The industry which you propose to tax will be paralysed ; the tax is unjust. If I am told that I am mistaken, I reply that I am not infailable. I may be wrong; hut it is my intimate conviction that when the Session is once closed, France will be subject to the most tyrannical system that she has yet had to endure. M. Royer Collard told you this the other day. This is a course in which they will not stop. The impetuosity of the counter- revolutionary course has been checked by this tribune. Did you not hear what fell from M. De la Bourdonnaye yesterday? Meditate on his speech, consider the conduct of Ministers, and ask your own hearts whether such is not the future which awaits you? The reign of terror in 1793 was mentioned yesterday ; it was horrible, because the atrocious men who had obtained power, felt that they had no reliance but in the exercise of force against the nation. My profound conviction is, that on all sides symptoms of terror are manifesting themselves. It is perhaps the last time that a free voice may be heard ; but while I can address you I will be faithful to my trust. I dare believe, that in 1793 neither Fouquier- Tinville on the floor, nor Marat at the Tribune, could have appalled me. ( Loud and impatient murmers on the right side.) A Voice.— Marat was of his country. Confused Voices Why did you not speak then ? Why did you reserve your eloquence for the club of Salin, when there was no danger. M. B . Constant.— I should have had, I hope, the courage to brave the jacobins of the republic. I shall have the courage not to fear the Jacobins of Royalty. ( Cries of order 1) The Speaker came down from the tribune, amidst repeated cries of Order ! The President.— For a long time M. Benjamin Constant seems to have spoken with no other view than to insult the Chamber, and the most sacred institutions of our Government. ( Cries of yes, our most sacred institutions). I have already been obliged to call him once to order for a similar digression; I now call him to order a second time. Madrid, July 29.— The Ministers are not yet named. M. L. Banos has j u s t arrived. M. V. B. deLys, banker, patriot, and brother of the Deputy of that name, has just ' en appointed Constitutional Alcaide of Madrid, in the of the Marquess de Santa Crutz. It was he who assembled the proscribed Italians, and deserved so well of his country on the day of the 7th. The 1st of September is mentioned as the day on which the Extraordinary Cortes will meet; but this measure is not yet decided. M. Calatrava, who is at Bilboa, twice declined his nomination to the Ministry; but the King having insisted, he is expected to arrive at Madrid. M. Sanclio is to succeed M. Martinez de la Rosa, whose resignation is at length accepted, after having lost much of the popularity and esteem in which his patriotism was held. The vengeance of the conquerors in the terrible conflict, which was carried even to the steps of the throne, is confined at present to the banishment of their enemies from the capital. The following are the names of those who have been obliged to quit Madrid:— Sonen de Coutreras, banished to Seville; Dusay, to Valentia ; Gercez, to Saragossa; La Salla, to Seville; Salido, to Grenada ; Sextis, to Badajos; Coupigny, to Valladolid ; Heron, to Segovia ; the Marquess D'Albo, the Archdeacon of St. Jaques, who was at Madrid, has received orders to return to St. Jaques. The Permanent Commission of the Cortes has strongly solicited his Majesty to banish from the Palace the Patriarch and two of his priucipal Household Officers. His Majesty showed the greatest reluctance to comply with these repeateel demands ; it appears, however, that the solicitations of the Permanent Commission have been complied with, and that the obnoxious individuals have been sent away. The latest intelligence from Valencia states, that the preliminary proceedings against General Elio have terminated, and that he will be immediately brought to trial. These preliminary details relate to letters in cypher, which have been deciphered by a Lieutenant of Engineers, who has translated literally a packet of papers lost by General Elio in the citadel at the time of the rebellion of the 30th of last May. It is said that General Elio was at the head of a conspiracy which had very extensive ramifications. We have obtained the following information as to the disposition of the French troops:— At 1' erpignan the force of the sanitary cordon amounts to 17,000 infantry, 3,000 horse, and 24 pieces of artillery indifferently mounted. From Toulouse to Bayonne the number of troops is from 10 to 12,000; at Bayonne the garrison is weak, since it scarcely amounts to 1,000 men; the 400 artillery that arrived lately at Bavoniie came unprovided with pieces. The works at the arsenal of this town are carried on with vigour. Large purchases of provisions and forage have been made ; and a great number of workmen are said to be employed in making from 5 to 6,000 uniforms for the army of faith, who will be paid no doubt by Nunez, with the two millions he has received by the bills on Madrid. On this side the Pyrenees, no time is lost in making preparations; one portion of the light artillery of La Mancha goes to Vittoria; the other to Segovia. Seville will supply the garrison of La Mancha; 13 regiments of militia, amounting to 8,000 men, are now under arms. The new ministry will double this number. A counter sanitary cordon is forming with all expedition, to consist of 40,000 men and 32 pieces of artillery. The Constitutionalists obtain marked advantages in the North. The rebels, however, it is said, are masters of the little town of Mequinenza.— Constitutionnel. Paris, August 7.— The Court of Cassation has this day, August 8, rejected the appeal of General Berton against the decree which puts him under accusation, and refers his case to the Court of Assize. I t is not yet certain that there will be a Congress, and yet the choice of a French Plenipotentiary occupies general attention at Paris. This important mission, it is said, is disputed by M. the Viscount de Montmorency, M. the Duke de Blacas, M. the Viscount de Chateaubriand, and M. Hyde de Neuville. Constantinople has been the scene of such violent troubles, that the Sultan has threatened to quit the capital, with his two sons. STAIN.— The following is the budget of expenr. es, decreed by his Majesty for the second economical year, which commenced on the 1st of July, and will end oil the 30th of June next. For the Royal Household, 45,212,000; for the Cortes, 5,522,365; lor the Ministry of State, 5,760,917; for the Ministry of the Interior, 32,448,028; of the Colonies, 941,465; Grace and Justice, 16,897,899; Finance, 148,894,079; War, 328,633,983; Marine, 80,502,590.— Total, 664,813,328. To meet indispensable expellees, direct and indirect contributions have been established, amounting to nearly 600 milliens of reals; but it is almost impossible to levy any sum iu the provinces which are in a state of continental agitation, especially Catalonia, which formerly offered great resources. Many other provinces will refuse to pay taxes, to which they have not been accustomed in Navarre and Biscay. The whole Peninsula, and particularly the two Castiles, are in a wretched state. La Mancha and Estra Madura have no resources beyond their scanty crops. There is no money in any part of the country. The patriots fancy they can find resources, but nothing can be obtained except by arbitrary exactions, which will alienate even the friends to the constitutional system.— La Quotidienne. I t appears from a letter inserted by Mr. Penley, the Manager of the English company, in Galignani's Journal, and addressed to the inhabitants of the capital, and the foreigners residing in it, that he has not yet abandoned the hope of obtaining some representations. The Manager even announces that he intends to reinforce his company by some of the most distinguished actors in London— Mr. Kean, Mr. Dowton, Miss Tree, and other performers of equal celebrity. Mr. Penley flatters himself ( and here we entirely agree with him) that the disapprobation with which his attempt was received was far from being general. He assures the public that the merit of his company could not be fairly appreciated amidst so tumultuous a scene as that which recently took place. He concludes his address with ail appeal to the politeness and urbanity of the French nation, and he hopes it will not be supposed that he has the slightest intention of opposing the genuine wishes of the public. " We sincerely participate *' ( says the Journal des Debats), " and we are persuaded that all the friends of literature and the arts will participate with us in the sentiments expressed by Mr. Penley. has excited general satisfaction in Ge'i- many. Subscriptions are to be opened in several large towns, and young men, both military and students, successively depart for the Peloponnesus, to combat under the standards of independence. At Geneva a subscription has been opened at Messrs. Heutsch and Co.' s, for the relief of the Irish. Switzerland will doubtless the more readily concur in thismeasure ; it will thereby at, once fulfil the duties of humanity, and pay a tribute of gratitude. The English have at all times been eager to relieve Switzerland in its calamities, and the indigent Swiss who are in London, daily experience the edicts of English beneficence.— Brussels I'apcrs, August 6. HAMBURGH MAIL. Carlsruhe, Aug. 2 M. Von Liebenstein, a Deputy of Baden, on presenting a Petition respecting the raising the duties of importation, took occasion to allude to the speeches of the Deputies of the French Chamber, and the French Ministers, on that subject. " We are bound in honour ( he said) not to allow such speeches to remain unanswered, and to show the French Government and People, that we are not to be frightened by threats, but are determined to pursue the measures we Conceive necessary in our situation, and if wanted to have recourse to new ones. " A speaker in the French Chamber reproached the Southern Germans with their ingratitude to France! This reproach cannot fail to excite our astonishment 1 For twelve years the Southern Germans sacrificed their property and their blood to the purposes of a French conqueror, whose views were not to convey, at least to them, any share what he might gain by his undertaking. On the distant fields of Spain— amidst the snows of Russia— lay the bones of the Germans who fell for the interests of France; and yet they venture to reproach us with ingratitude to them 1 " We have been told, threateningly, of the thirty millions composing the French nation. Thirty millions, when united, form certainly an imposing mass. The threats of such a mass indeed demand attention, in preference to every other consideration. But if the thirty millions are divided among themselves— if every day new parties generate new and bloody eruptions of hatred and discord— if the strength of this giant is in this manner crippled by himse- lf; the thirty millions cease to be an object of terror tothe weaker neighbour. The latter is then in the happy situation of regulating his affairs according to his own notions, and without reference to foreign favour or foreign hatred.'' Constantinople, July 10.— The first accounts of the catastrophe which cost the Turkish fleet its finest ship and the Captain Pacha his life, were in several points incorrect. The following relation of an eye witness of the event we consider as authentic :— It appears from it that the dreadful event did not take place in the night between the 19th and 20th, but in that between the 18th and 19th June, and that the Captain Pacha did not meet his death till he had left the burning ship and entered the boat which was to carry him ashore. The circumstance of the fire ships having sailed under the Austrian flag, and being furnished with Austrian documents, was stated in some of the former reports of officers of the fleet ( probably to gloss over their errors), but it appears from late inquiries that this is altogether upfounded, and it is recognised as such by the Turkish Government. Translation of a Report of the Imperial Consular Agent at Scalanuova to the Imperial Consul General ut Smyrna the 21s( June, 1822. " With a view to apply to the Captain Pacha for reparation for the damage sustained by me in the latest disturbances at Scalannova, I had repaired to Scio, but the misfortune which befel the Grand Admiral in the night between the 18th and 19th prevented me from accomplishing my purpose. " Two Greek fire ships which had escaped the attention of 11 Turkish vessels of war, penetrated on the night in question into the channel of Scio, and contrived by dexterous manoeuvres to approach the Admiral's ship, inexplicably enough, they were unobserved by the Turks, till they took them for their own ships. One of these fire ships contrived, about two hours alter midnight, to approach so close to the Admiral's ship, that it fixed itself to its left deck, and immediately spread fire and terror over it. But by the uncommon exertions of the crew, this fire ship was at length detached and removed, on which it was sent to the bottom by the ship of the Kapudana Bey, which it had also attempted to approach. The Turks were not so fortunate with respect to the second fire ship ; the latter approached the Admiral's ship, and while they were busied with driving away the other, set it so rapidly in flames, that all remedy was hopeless ; after an exertion of three quarters of an hour, and after a great part of the ship was already in flames, the powder magazine took fire, and the ship was immediately destroyed by a dreadful explosion. The Capitan Pacha, already severely wounded, who would not leave his ship, was forced by some who were strengly attached to him into a boat, but the boat was overturned by a falling mast, which wounded him mortally in the head, and he was brought on a piece of wreck on shore, and next day at ten o'clock was buried in the Castle at Scio. Of the whole crew, consisting of 2286 individuals, scarcely 200 were saved. Two other ships of the line, as well as a frigate, were very nearly destroyed in the same manner; they owed their escape to the uncommon activity of their crews, but they did not come off without damage. The fire- ship which had spread so much destruction around it, was carried by the wind through the midst of the? Turkish fleet, which every where got quickly out of its way, and reached Cape St. Helena on Scio, where it was next day destroyed by its own fire. The Greek crew of the fire- ship succeeded in escaping through the Turkish fleet in their boats. Their arrival at Ipsara, where they recounted the result of their enterprise, was announced by salutes of artillery, which lasted a whole hour, and which resounded from the coast of Scio. I was witness of the whole proceeding on board an English brig lying at anchor at Scio. The same night the Turkish troops to revenge the death of the Capitan Pacha, and the calamity of the fleet, fell on the foreign Consulates at Scio. " A division of 12 Greek vessels which sailed on the 20th in the direction of Cape St. Helena, no sooner remarked that the Turkish fleet was in motion than it fell back on Ipsara. The Ottoman squadron consisted o; 35 sail, and I saw it yesterday at noon, in the latitude of Cape Baba, sailing with a strong north west wind, in the direction of Port Oliveto." BRUSSELS P A P E R S. VIENNA, July 23.— The Aulic Council of War have addressed to Captain A. Armin, commanding the Austrian naval division in the Levant, a dispatch, of which the following is the substance : " By reports received from Corfu and Trieste, we have received the disagreeable news that the Greek insurgents had dared to declare all the coasts of the Ottoman Empire, which are not in their power, in a state of blockade, and in consequence of this declaration they have carried into Missolonghi some Austrian merchantmen, with their captains and crews. On account of these acts of violence exercised by a Government which is not recognised by any Power, our Ministry has obtained the assurance that all the English and French commanders of naval divisions stationed in the Levant Seas, shall be ordered to protect, by force, all commercial vessels, without any distinction of flags, which may be exposed to such a danger; and its intention is, that the Austrian squadron under your command shall concur in the execution of this measure. " Communicating to you this important information, the Aulic Council of War enjoins you to correspond with the English and French Commanders, as well to deliver the said Austrian vessels, carried into and detained at Missolonghi, or elsewhere, as to protect all other vessels which, in the course of their voyage, may be threatened with similar danger. " T h e Council of War, in confiding to you this important commission, is convinced, that by the aid of the concert abovementioned, and of the information which you may obtain from the Consuls- General, the Insurgents will be obliged to abandon the arbitrary and illegal measures which they have adopted, and our commerce will enjoy the protection to which it is entitled." The President of the Aulic Committee of Commerce has communicated this measure to the Committee of Merchants at Trieste, in order that it may obtain the necessary publicity. Accounts from the frontiers of Moldavia of the 14th, say— " The evacuation of the Principalities is hitherto confined to the Janissaries. Letters received from Jassy by the two last posts state that the Pacha has received a firman, ordering the retreat of the Janissaries, but nothing is at present said of the departure of the other Turkish troops. pBANKroax, July 28.— The news of the success of the Greeks GERMAN PAPERS. Vienna, July 27— His Royal Highness the Duke of Cumberland, travelling under the title of CoiuitDiepholz, arrived here the day before yesterday from Carlsbad. Funds— Metalliques, 79i"; Bank Shares, 780. Trieste, July 23.— A mercantile house in this city has received the following from Missolonghi, dated 5th of J u l y : '— " Inexpressible is the joy that prevails here, on account of the defeat of the Turkish fleet. It is affirmed that the whole fleet is as good as destroyed ; most of the ships are burnt or stranded ; and up to the 26th June, 28 ships are said to have been taken by our countrymen. With the. Capitan Pacha his whole Staff was blown tip, including the Vice Admiral ( Capitan Bey) with the crew of 1800 men, among whom there were 104 English. After the dreadful explosion, which was heard at Ipsara, part of the Greek fleet sailed towards Tscheme, and arrived there almost at the same time as the remaining Turkish vessels, which fled thither for shelter. The Turks left their ships in disorder, and the Greeks had nothing to do but to set them oil fire. To this happy event are to be added the glorious news from Thessaly, Epirus, and Albania, where every thing goes on admirably. Chourschid Pacha has arrived at Larissa with 60 men, and Oraer Brione, Pacha of Joannina, has been entirely defeated near that city— Patras will soon open its gates, as the negotiations for its surrender are proceeding with activity. Thus it should seem that the account given in our 210th Number, of its being taken by storm, was premature. " The Senate has ordered a great Christian Temple to be erected at Corinth, in memory of the destruction of the Turkish fleet." LISBON PAPERS. St. Selastian, July 18.— The two columns 111 pursuit of Quesada, having traversed the Vallies of Salazar, Roncal, & c. and having proceeded on the 18th as far as llonces Valles, at length pursued them so close, that Quesada, with 800 men, appeared on an eminence to the right, and Juanriito, with 300, to the left, but seeing that they were going to be charged with the bayonet at both points, they abandoned their positions, and instead of a general action, as was expected, there was only some skirmishing. They lost 20 killed, and 60 wounded, besides a great many who were dispersed, and threw away their arms! Our columns had one killed and seven wounded. We rescued 4 soldiers who had been taken prisoners, and took two of the rebels, one of whom is the assassin of the unfortunate Luanda de Toiosa. The factious retreat towards Eugrie, and are warmly pursued. Madrid, July 27.— The Editors of the lrnpurcial, in their number of to- day, announced in the following manner the cessation of their Journal: — " Experience having proved to us that we cannot find the necessary protection against the insults and threats of which we have frequently been the objects, we should have ceased some time ago to edit this Journal, had we not been obliged to listen to othermore important considerations. Being now free from these, we are at liberty to suspend a task in which we can gain no other fruit than vexation and disgust. July 26.— The Constitutionel Agunlamicnto of Barcelona has addressed a representation to his Majesty, from which the following are extracts :— " Sire— When the standard of rebellion waves in almost every corner of, the provinces of Catalonia— when the " monuments are overthrown and destroyed, which ought to be as durable as they are precious— when the sacred names of God and ofthe Monarch are employed to support religious fanaticism, and authorise atrocities and murders— the Municipality of Barcelona may be permitted to lament the fall of its country, and to implore a speedy and efficacious remedy for so many evils. " Never did the danger appear so serious as at this time; but to the honour of the true friends of liberty, it may be said that they never were more capable than they now feel themselves of those bold and sublime efforts which constitute heroes, and are the salvation of States. " Malevolence, Sire, goessofaras topoint out yourMajesty as the supporter or protector of the seditious force which has lately filled all the Monarchy with grief and apprehension. The Municipality of this city is full of affliction at this idea, and cannot but desire that your Majesty will disprove those injurious reports by speaking to the nation with the energy of a' Constitutional King, and thus strengthen more and more the constancv of those who never doubted the sacredness of your Royal word, and dispel the slightest shadow of a suspicion which is insulting to yon, and gives anxiety to the incautious who credit it." Reus, July 16.— Porrera has ceased to exist. Its militia defended it till their ammunition was exhausted, when they were obliged to yield to a host of traitors, who after having pillaged the houses, completed their work of iniquity by setting tire to the place. Madrid, July 28.— The government has received news from Catalonia up to the 22d, giving accounts of the defeat and dispersing of Misas, Tarragona, & c. and their bands 011 the 18th, by Generals Albernos and Milans : and of the defeat of Mosen Antori by Milans. Bayonne, August 3.—' The influence of the liberal party continues to increase. The Editors of the Imparciul, who were supposed to be in the pay of the Anti- liberal Party, and particularly of a Foreign Ambassador, have been threatened with assassination, which is the reason that has induced them to suspend their Journal. Three days having elapsed since the Permanent Deputation pointed out to iiis Majesty the persons whom it would beproper to remove from his person, and no answer having yet been returned, it is imagined that his Majesty is not inclined to accede tothe wish o f t h e Deputation, bydepriving himself of all ( hose who are attached to his person ; but as things stand, he will probably be obliged to consent to all that is asked of him. The regiments of militia which have hitherto been put under arms amount to about 8,000 men ; it is thought that as soon as Lopez Banos begins to exercise his functions as Minister of War 10,000 more will be called out. The patriots would wish to have 50,000 levied, but they do net pay attention to the state o f t h e treasury, which within these few days could not pay a certain sum claimed by the Royal Household 011 account of its salary. The accounts from the provinces are less alarming, that is, with respect to the insurrection, especially in Catalonia, but much anxiety is caused by news of a different nature received this evening by express from Cadiz and Barcelona. It is positively asserted that the Government has received official in formation that the flee t lately arrived at Cadiz lost 20 men in the voyage, who died of the yellow fever, and that there were still several sick on board : that disputes had arisen between the Municipality and the Junta of Health, the former wishing to send the vessels arriving from America with the fever on board to perform quarantine at Port Mahon, but the decision of the Board of Health prevailed to let them remain 111 the road, but at a great distance from the port. This decision has eaused much alarm at Cadiz, and it is curious oil account of the facility with which the contagion may be communicated. The accounts from Barcelona say that two persons had died there on the 2 l s t of the yellow fever, but this news does not seem to be at all certain. The accounts from Valencia of the 24th show, that the Patriots are absolutely resolved to put an end to the affair of General Elio, and that this unfortunate officer will soon lose his lile for his devotedness to the cause of the King. 1 he Provisional Junta of Government in Navarre has passed a Decree, dated 28th July, revoking all the prohibitory measures adopted by the Cortes. This circumstance, and the flight of the Spanish Custom- house Officers from the frontiers of Navarre, have induced our Bayonne merchants to send large quantities of goods, which has caused English merchandize in Spain to fall 10 per Cent. The French party daily lose ground at Madrid. The English are in favour, and hopes are entertained of the assistance of Great Britain in case of foreign invasion. Lisbon, July 2?.— The Cortes have been engaged in the late Sittings ill the continuation of the debates 011 the Constitution, 011 various subjects of internal regulation, and on the relations between Portugal and Brazil. The accounts brought by vessels from Rio, Pernambuco, and other parts of that kingdom, have been successively communicated to the Cortes, and in general agree in representing the country to be tranquil. On the 16th, the Minister of the Interior sent to the Cortes a dispatch received from the Junta of Maranham, of 6th May, announcing that the Prince Royal had issued orders for the assembling of Deputies from all the Provinces of Brazil. The Junta was much perplexed what to do, and therefore hastened to communicate this to the Cortes, that they might take such measures as were necessary. On this, Mr. Alvezedo Rio showed how requisite it was to take speedy and general measures for all the ports of Brazil, to tranquillize the minds of the people, and make them sensible of the rebellion in which the Prince governed that Kingdom, without obeying the Cortes and the King. After ashort debate it, was resolved to instruct the Coniinitteeot'the Political Affairs of Brazil to present with allspeed an opinion on the means which it would be proper to apply to all the Provinces of Brazil. On the 19th the statements brought by the Portuguese galley, General Lun, in 62 days from Rio, were communicated. The inhabitants continued to show the greatest attachment tothe Prince Royal, who, with his consort, were in good health. The King's birth day had been celebrated with the usual marks of respect on the 13th of May, when the troops, after firing the accustomed salute in honour of the day, proclaimed his Royal Highness Perpetual Defender of the Kingdom of Brazil. The greater part of the Corporations then assembled and signed a declaration, confirming what the troops had proclaimed. The Prince, it is said, not only convoked a Cortes, but has by virtue of his authority disposed of several public offices, and given the orders of Christ and of Avez ( which are the most important) to several of his friends, and has made others Desembaj adores or Judges. There has been a press of seamen to man two frigates, the destination of which is supposed to be to intercept a vessel of the same class sent by the Prince to compliment his father- in- law, the Emperor of Austria. A late decree of the Cortes has decided, that if the Prince shall at any future time connive at the overthrow of the Constitution now established here, he should forfeit his right to the Throne of Portugal. Some persons expect that a decree, confirming the above, will soon be proposed. The Institutes of the Russian Law, published by command o f t h e Emperor, by the Legislative Committee, begin as follows : — Sec. 1. The Sovereign as Autocrat is the source of all political and civil power. The first principle which serves the Russian Monarch as a guide in the exercise of this power is declared in the Act of the Holy Alliance. Exchange oil London, 36 I0J. 37 l i. SAVANNAH PAPERS." ( From the Paper of the 9th.) Our Board of Health commenced their Summer Reports on the 26th ult. There were then about 26 cases of fever of different grades, principally light intermittents, but none of an uncommon kind. ^ ( From the Paper of the 8th.) We have received the following extracts of a letter from Havanna, dated the22d June :—" At this moment I can give you no news. The pirates do not abate any in their depredations. We have very few vessels in port, and business is very dull for the season. Capt. Zeft, arrived at New York from Salt Creek, Spanish Main ( lat. 10 N . ) , reports that several severe earthquakes have been experienced in that quarter. One at Chagers on the 19th May, killed several persons, and the inhabitants had all fled from the town. The imports at Vera Cruz from the interior, in the month of April, comprised 2,454,958 dollars of the Mexican stamp. Our latest advices from La Guyra state, that the markets were glutted with all descriptions of goods, and very little business was doing. They send us no fresh information respecting political events. ( From the Paper of the 7th.) We have just received advices from Guayaquil, which state that the Spanish General Moriong had died of an inflammation in his stomach, after ail illness of a few days. By advices from Porto Rico, we are informed of the arrival at St. John's on the 30tli ult. of his Catholic Majesty's brig of war Vengador, having on board Don Francisco Hinares, and Dr. J . D. Dias, the former appointed Civil Governor, and the latter Intendant of that Island. By this vessel Brigadier Sebastian Calzado, an old commander in Venezuela and St. Fe, has arrived off Costa Firma, and appointed second in command to Gen. Morales. Orders have been sent to Havnnna to remit 30,000 dollars monthly to Morales. I t is said that the ruins of an extensive city, which has been covered for ages with herbage and underwood, were discovered a few years since, in Guatamala. It has been surveyed by a learned Spaniard, and drawings made of its curiosities, which are to be sent to London, and will soon be given to the world. MEXICO. P R O C L A M A T I O N OF I T U R B I D E. Mexicans!— I address myself to you in the mere character of a citizen, desirous of seeing order and tranquillity preserved, and at the same time anxious to promote your felicitv, infinitely more than my own. Public vicissitudes are not evils, when, on the part of the people, there is prudence and moderation, such as you have always evinced. The army and people of this capital have just adopted a measure which it behoves the rest of the nation to approve or reject. At this moment I can do no more than feel grateful for their determination, and beseech them, as well as you, fellow- citizens ( for the Mexicans do not require that I should command them) not to open the door to the effervescence of passions, but to forget private resentments, and respect the constituted authorities, for a country that has none, or disregards them, can no longer be considered in a social state. Ah ! may my friends never merit this reproach ! Let us rather leave to moments of tranquillity the decision of what system of Government is best suited for us ; these are not far distant. The nation is our country, and this is now represented by its own Deputies. Let us listen to them— let us not expose ourselves to the reproaches of the world, and do not fear falling into error by following my advice. The laws emanate from the will of the People; above this there is nothing. Understand me, and give me the last proof of your love; this is all I desire and am ambitious of. I dictate these words with my heart on my lips— do me the justice to believe me sincere, and your best friend. ( Signed) ITUIiBIDE. Mexico, May 18, 1822.

Mr. Dover stated, that this was an action to recover damages for defamation, the defendant having, 01) or about the 20th of December last, at Lynn, uttered, among others, the following words of and concerning the plaintiff, viz " So your great Mr. Sears is gone off;" and also " I saw his assignment to his creditors in the newspaper." Mr. Cooper— Gentlemen had heard the words alleged to have been spoken ; he would shew their operation on his client after he had stated who the parties we're. The plaintifflived at Upwell, in the Isle of Ely, where he carried on the business of brewer, malster, and cornfactor, to a great extent. The defendant was a merchant of considerable conscquence at Lynn. The consequences to his client were, that a person, whom he would call, arrested him for 301, which he had paid, and another person had refused to give him credit for a small sum, for which injuries special damages were sought. Lion Self, Esq., deposed, that he was an Alderman of Lynn and a merchant; had known the plaintiff", and had employed him as a confidential agent, and also transacted business of a private nature to a considerable extent; he always found him punctual to his engagements, and, before this report, heard nothing unfavourable of him. Witness knew defendant, who was a corn and coal merchant at Lynn. E. Savary, Esq., examined— Witness is a Major in the army; knew plaintiff'very well iu December last, he was carrying on business to a considerable extent. Cross- examined by Mr. Storks— Had joined in security on a note for plaintiff for 1001., payable at an indefinite period ; 501. had been paid off. Being hardly pressed, he admitted that he had been applied to in a legal way for payment; he was in business"" exclusive of his military capacity. To Mr. Cooper— I was not applied to till after the report of the failure of plaintiff' Thomas Lee deposed to the words being spoken as set forth in the declaration in the latter end of December, and he was corroborated by another witness, who heard the like expressions on the same day. William Oxiey, Esq., deposed that he had long done business with plaintiff; the custom of their house was to give 12 months running credit; although the 12 months had not expired, he was induced to arrest him, which he did sans ceremonies his debt and costs were immediately paid. Cross- examined— He certainly should not have acted in that way but for the current rcpoi t. The witness was examined at great length by the Court, but his evidence went to shew that he was solely influenced by the reason he had assigned. G. Taylot, ESIJ., Under Sheriff for the county, produced the writ and return on which plaintiff was arrested. Several other merchants of respectability appeared for the plaintiff'. Mr. Storks raised an objection to one of the counts; the words were " I saw his assignment in the newspaper," and also, that " o f and concerning the said plaintiff'!" were not introduced. The Court thought there was sufficient evidence before it to sustain the count. Mr. Storks then contended that there was no ground for special damages; for. all that was proved in shape of injury was, that he had been arrested for 331. and refused credit for 121. With respect to his former good credit, which had been spoken to by the respectable witnesses examined, what would the Jury think of that which came so reluctantly from the non- descript witness, who styled himself a Major, but who in fact had only been a Major in the Norfolk militia. This witness and the plaintiff were bound to a third person for 1001., 501. of which was only due, and it appeared that neither plaintiff nor witness could satisfy the claim. The Court held that special injury had been proved, which warranted special damages to the amount ot' that injury, but the extent o f t h e one should be regulated by the extent o f t h e other, What was more ruinous than to be arrested ? It was degrading ill itself, and often was the cause of a solvent man, whose property was locked up, to be pursued by his creditors, and thereby plunged into irretrievable calamity. The Jury found for the plaintiff— Damages 501. costs 40s. SAME V. GREEN. This was an action under precisely similar circumstances to the last, and with the exception of Bedford ltussel, a Sheriff's officer, the witnesses were the same. It was stated that the defendant was a respectable merchant and Alderman of Lynn ; hearing that the plaintiff had with two other dealers gone oil', he applied to Russet to make inquiries, and demand the amount of his claim upon him. Rtissel fbeiiig sworn, deposed that the defendant, oil hearing he had been misinformed, told him not t o make application. Court— This plain tiff is seeking damages over again for the came injury for which a verdict was given in the last case. I shall call him immediately and stop the case. Plaintiff nonsuited. O X F O R D C I R C U I T. THOMAS V. JONES. I n this case, David Thomas, Esq., sought a compensation in damages against Miss Hannah Jones, for a breach of promise of marriage. Mr. Taunton stated that it was rather an unusual circumstance that a gentleman should have to present himself as a plaintiff upon such an occasion ; because, to the honour of the ladies, in engagements of this sort they were generally f a i t h f u l ; but on this occasion the plaintiff had to complain of an extremely serious injury— not merely to his feelings, but also in consequence of the lady's caprice having put him to considerable expense in preparing for that happy event, which, at one time, he unquestionably anticipated. 1' he defendant, Miss Hannah Jones, had not to urge, in her excuse, tin.* levity and inconsistency of youth, because she had attained to full years of discretion, having arrived at the mature age of 46. Had it happened that his client had been guilty of that fickleness, it would have been matter of complaint, on the part of his learned friend, that he had shown that sort of levity which ^ mmger persons sometimes indulged in— he being but thfrty- cight years ot' age. The parties were respectable* and possessed of property; and the courtship was carried on, not clandestinely and secretly, but under the eye and with the sanction of Miss Jones's mother. The plaintiff's house being somewhat dilapidated and old fashioned, at the suggestion of the defendant, alterations and repairs were done to it to the amount of 2501. ; and the lady upon this occasion found or paid for a part of the timber. She belonged to a class of people called Anabaptists, and she was extremely desirous, when she cam » to the mansion- house of the plaintiff that she should hot have f a r to go to chapel, and therefore she prevailed oil the plaintiff to grant a lease to the society to which she belonged of a piece of ground on his estate, for the purpose of A meeting- house being built there, which meeting- house still stood there. He should prove, in the most satisfactory manner, the promise of marriage on move occasions than one. He should also prove that in the month of February, 1821, the plaintiff, finding that the lady had intimated a wish to break off the match, sent her a formal invitation to conic and be married, which she declined, declaring that, she never would have the Slaintiff for her husband. He should also prove that Miss ones and Mr. David Thomas had previously been to the office, Of Mr. Lewis at Llandilo, and signed proposals for a settlement to be made upon the marriage, which proposals in substance were, that D. Jones, in consideration of 7001. to be paid by ths mother of Miss Jones, agreed to settle his estates to certain uses first to himself and wife for life, then to the survivor, and after the decease ofthe survivor, to their children, by entail male, & c. It was not extraordinary that they should have looked forward to the usual consequences of marriage, and with that view not only was provision made for sons, but also for daughters ; in the anticipation of which a term of lOOOvears was to be carved out of the freehold, for raising portions lor these expected younger children ; so that a large family was really considered as likely to be the result of this meditated union. The learned Gentleman observed, that it was no light matter for a gentleman, undersuch circumstances, to be pointed at in the country as having been jilted. Suppose he should wish to make an engagement with some other lady, would the ladies be so glad to receive him now, after this treatment of Miss Hannah Jones ? It was impossible to state this case without a smile, but he trusted the Jury would not permit the amusement w hich tiie cause might afford tlieni, to get the better of their sense of justice ; and he trusted they would in the end give his client such damages as in their sober consciences ihey thought he ought to receive. David Reece proved the lady's age to be 4<>; that Mr. David Thomas was courting her in 1K18; that he is about 35 years of age ; that a servant was hired by Miss Jones, with a view that the marriage should take place at Allhallowtide, 1819, who lived under such engagement in the plaintiff's house for twelve months. She was subsequently examined, and stated that her reason for leaving was that Miss Jones would not marry Mr. Thomas. Several witnesses were called, who proved promises of marriage on the part ofthe defendant— the repairing of the plaintiff's house— the building of the chapel— and the other points stated in Mr. Taunton's opening. Mr. Campbell, for the defendant, said this action was so ridiculous, that Mr. Taunton had found it impossible lo state the facts to the J u r y with decent gravity, though no man had greater powers or countenance. So trumpery an action was never before brought into a Court of Justice. This gentleman, no doubt, might well have worn the willow, and might indeed have been considered an unfortunate lover ; but would he not now, wherever he went in the principality, be pointed at as a person who wanted t o inveigle an old woman into marriage for the sake o t h e r fortune, and, when hefailed in that, wished to get it by the verdict of a J u r y ? Surely he might have met with a lady younger, more beautiful, and more conformable with Ihe objects of a marriage settlement. The learned counsel said that t h e l a d y had certainly reached the mature age of 56. One witness had said she was very beautiful ; another bloated, and seemed to indicate some doubt on that point. Now he was instructed t o state, and upon that the J u r y would take the lady's own word, that she was exceedingly plain— not to say u g l y ; that she was not accomplished, for that the instructions which had been drawn for a settlement, and were said to have been signed by her, only bore her mark ; that no love letters bad been produced probably arose from the lady's inability to write ; and the ladv must have been very much astonished when the conveyancer talked of provisions for the the 1st, 2d, 3d, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th, 12th, and all and every other the sons, & c., issue of this marriage, unless she was a woman of very weak understanding. Did it appear that the plaintiff did not keep a female servant before? or did it appear that he had in the slightest degree increased his establishment on account of Miss Hannah Jones ? The expenses to which the plaintiff had been putin preparing for the wedding could be alone given in evidence as damages, the amount of which had not been in any way proved. Mr. Justice Bayley, in charging the Jury, observed, that actions of this nature were not common, but still this was a ease in which an action would lie, and that the promise and the breach had both been' clearly proved. It, therefore, became a question for the Jury to consider what damages they would give. As to the repairs of the house of the plaintiff, there was no evidence that they were done at the suggestion of the defendant; and with regard to the building of the chapel, it was not at all improbable that the plaintiff himself was a member ofthe Anabaptist Society, and was thereby induced to give up to them a piece of land for the purpose of building a chapel. The Jury, therefore, ought not, in estimating the damages, to give more than the ex. pense which the plaintiff had actually been put to in preparing for the proposed wedding. The J u r y consulted for a few minutes, and returned a verdict for the plaintiff— Damages, 1001. MJESBAV, ACGtTSt 6. An early part of this day was also occupied in discharging the jail, when the prisoners who had been capitally convicted were brought up for judgment. The first was Jeremiah ltorke, for firing at Robert Holmes levers, Esq with intent to shoot him.— The learned Sergeant had this prisoner brought up singly, his crime possessing features of peculiar atrocity, and that lie should hear the sentence which the law had attached to such a crime. The prisoner had been convicted upon the clearest testimony ; he went to the dwelling house of Mr. levers under a feigned and treacherous design of delivering up to that gentleman arms, which he had advised the prisoner to do, and who had given the prisoner sound and good advice to that effect— under this treacherous design, and at the prisoner's solicitation, that gentleman opened the hall door, when the prisoner levelled his arms and fired at that gentleman, and accompanied this wicked atrocityby uttering threats and vengeance against him. This vile act was perpetrated by the prisoner against agentleinan near whom he resided twenty years, and who had never given any provocation to the prisoner hv an act to warrant this atrocious attempt at assassination.— There remained no hopes o f t h e mitigation of the awful sentence which it was the painful duty of the Sergeant to pronounce upon the prisoner— fortunately for the prisoner here, but more fortu - nately for him hereafter, this atrocious crime had not been completed— and it was only by a providential interference that his child escaped being killed, for the balls had perforated through that of the wainscott of the bed room. The prisoner would soon meet his awful fate ; and he earnestly implored of him to make hispeaee with God. He then sentenced the prisoner to be hanged on Saturday next. , Patrick Dinneen and Owen Sullivan— These were prisoners who had pleaded guilty — ihe former for having taken a sword from an Officer, Captain Johnson, of the Rifle Brigade— but his Lordship said there were circumstances elicited which would warrant him in representing his case to the government; what the result of that representation would be he could not at present state. His Lordship pronounced sentence of death. James Fitzmaurice, Arthur Walker, Wm. Connor, Patrick Connor, Denis Connor, Jeremiah Connor, John Connor, Wm. Connor, Charles Connor, John Lane, Eugene Sweeny, Patrick Sweeny, J o h n Galvin, Murtogh Dunn, and David Shea, were all put forward. Fitzmaurice ( a front criminal) declared to the Almighty God, he had nothing to do with Mr. White's affair. The Judge said, he had put forward the criminals before him, as they were classified under the same head in crime and feature, except the case of Dunn and Silea—" tumultuously and riotously assaulting the habitations of the peaceable and loyal inhabitants of the country." This abominable system, he would tell these deluded people, if any there were who heard him, must and will be put down. They had appealed on behalf of their families to him—( the Judge became overpowered by his feelings, and was interrupted by his tears)— but the mercy which they implored from him, on behalf of their families, should have been considered by the prisoners, as it lay with themselves, by peaceable and loyal acts, to avert their present ignominious fate. A period has come that must put an end to those wicked and daring acts. An assembled county, has, without intermission for twelve days, been occupied in the painful dis- harge of duties created by persons guilty of the same crimes as the prisoners. — He hoped that the awful example, and the unhappy fate of the prisoners, would prove salutary in restoring tranquillity, and bringing back to the paths of peace, the misguided, the turbulent, and the disloyal. There were, before the court now, fifteen persons capitally convicted, an awful warning clearly demonstrating the fate which awaits the commission of crime. No hope of mitigation could be held out to the unhappy men at the bar by him— nor could he say what distribution of clemency may be extended by government. He implored them individually, to make their peace with the Almighty, that he would imbue their minds with a spirit of penitence.— His lordship then pronounced sentence of death upon each and every one of the prisoners, after which his countenance became suffused in tears. Walker prayed, that as he was an innocent man, his body might be given to his poor mother. William and Charles Connors prayed, that as Mr. Hayes bad given a favourable character of them, their bodies might also be given to their mother. The prisoners for the abduction of Miss Goold— Daniel Doody, John Cussen, ( Walsh,) James Leahy, Maurice Leahy, ( otherwise Murphy,) and Daniel Riedy, were put forward ward for judgment. His Lordship said to the prisoners, that when they were about to be brought up for judgment yesterday, certain points of law had been submitted to him by their Counsel for his consideration ; the sufficiency or insufficiency of the objections had been argued at considerable l e n g t h ; the Validity of these doubts were not decreased; their case would undergo a further consideration as to the law upon the points raised; what the result of that investigation would be, it was not for his Lordship to anticipate. One of the Lcahys, we believe James, addressed the Judge, saying, that they did not deserve the fate they were brought t o; that terror prevented their making an objection to Browne and the party of insurgents to which they belonged, for that they were about compelling his father to quit his farm, in consequence of the exertions which he had used in getting Mr. Stevelly's arms returned to him. His Lordship did not mean to comment upon their case, or touch upon the crime of which they were convicted ; as to the points of law he had made up his mind upon their view and application, though he did not state it for t h e present; the opinion of the Judges would be taken. To those who are not conversant in the knotty points of law, the point in question would not free the prisoners, as a fresh indictment would be preferred, and - new trial entered upon. in lfi6 county of Cariow. Among other articles he took therefrom, some plate, which he offered for sale to a respectable shopkeeper, then residing in Tullow, who very properly stopped it, and sent for Mr. Hughes, to whom he gave it up, but peremptorily refused to stop the thief. The consequence was, that Mr. Hughes charged some member of his own family with the robbery, and cut them off under this impression. Sir John Blundell, near Kilkenny, was robbed about the same time, and a large quantity of plate taken away. Finnegan was suspected of this robbery, which he protested he had no concern in, and expressed his regret to the last moment, lest any invidious person should have taken a liberty with the name of the respectable shopkeeper above alluded to, as having been the purchaser of any part ofthe plate. Hue Finnegan, the son, was a beardless boy; and from what we can learn of his character, would have made a useful member of society, in other bands than those of his people. William Nowlan was a fine athletic young man, and met his fate with great fortitude. Tiiey were launched into eternity at about 30 minutes past three o'clock in the afternoon, the sheriff having postponed the execution till after the arrival ofthe Dublin coach. F'mnegan, the elder, held 50 acres of land, had 30 cows, and a well appointed set of farming utensils. His father and mother called to see him previous to the execution, and both deeply deplored the awful circumstances of living to see the execution of a son and grandson. LIMERICK ASSIZES. C O U N T Y C O U R T . — M O N D A Y AUG. 5. ATJUDCTION OF MISS GOOLD— MOTION TO ARREST JUDGEMENT. A motion in arrest of judgement was made on the part of the prisoners who were found guilty of the abduction of Miss GooLd, by Messrs. O'Connell, Jackson, and Freeman. The objection lay in two points in the indictment, viz. — 1st, That the venue was not laid when the felony was alleged to have been committed— for that every distinct averment of fact must have venue laid in the indictment, " then aud there." The learned counsel then quoted the distinction which lay between misdemeanors and felony, f r om Minchin's Crown Circuit Companion p. 41, last edition, and observed, that the day and place of the assault was not sufficient without having— u then and t h e r e" embodied. The learned counsel laid his second objection against the termination—" statute," in the concluding part of the indictment, in the singular, which should be in the plural * statutes.* — He argued that in substance the indictment which lay against the prisoners, was bottomed on two statutes; it was not merely a referential statute, that of the 19th of Geo. 5, ch. 13, which was enacted to perfect the original statute of the 6th Anne, sec. 7th, upon which the indictment was founded, so that both substantially, were necessary to bottom the indictment, and that t h e termination in the indictment should be against the 1 statutes,* and not 4 statute,' as terminates in the indictment. Mr. Lloyd rebutted the points adduced by Mr. O'Connell, and read the indictment, " did feloniously and by force and arms take and carry away the said Honorah Goold. "" The Learned Counsel thought the venue was laid sufficiently ; when read, it clearly presented but one sentence. The Learned Counsel stated the precedent to have been followed f r om one of the most eminent pleaders; he further strengthened his observations in support of the Venue being sufficiently laid to make the indictment ruled on that point. In combating the second objection, which should make the termination to be in the plural number, he contended that the offence was not created in both statutes conjunctively ; it was created by the 6th of Anne, and was only referential in that of Geo. the 2d. In that of Anne it made " it penal to commit, to take, and carry away by force, & c. and all actors connected with it are adjudged to be felons." The indictment^ therefore, derived no strength from the enactment of George the 2d, because in the foregoing statute of Anne, it was penal, which was the original, and the reciting in that of George, " with intent to defile, & c." He therefore contended that the indictment was good in the singular termination " s t a t u t e . " The Learned Counsel illustrated his observations by quoting from N a r k u s ' S t a t u t e s , which stated it might be laid either in the singular or in the plural. A further principle laid down, if wc mistake not the argument, was, that where an indictment was founded upon one statute alone, there the termination " s t a t u t e s " in the plural, would be fatal, but where it was founded upon an original statute, further explained by a subsequent one, there, in either case, the termination in either singular or plural stood good. His Lordship felt no dillicultyas to the termination in this case being in the singular statute as good— but with respect to the venue he felt much difficulty, for he had some doubts, and would refer the point to his learned colleagues. The whole question was, whether the venue was laid to the felony. This law argument occupied a considerable time. The remainder of the day was occupied in discharging pri- MINPRC * a o i CLONMEL ASSIZES. BURNING OF THE SHEAS. Darby Meagher, John Mourissey, James Hennessey, Philip Gorman, Patrick Browne, Patrick Gorman, and Wm. Gorman, were indicted for assaulting the dwelling- house of Edward Shea, for appearing in arms, and for aiding a person unknown, in shooting at, Patrick Fitzpatrick, with intent to murder him. Patrick Fitzpatrick swore he was at the house of the ill- fated Edmund Shea, at Tubber, on the26th October l a s t ; there were several in the house besides the family; on hearing the dogs bark, Shea said there were persons outside, on which witness, the two Mullaly's, and a man named Butler, sallied out armed ; they walked up by the side of the house, aud found five persons standing on a wall at the end of it. ( Here he identified the prisoners.) There were three shots immediately fired at witness and his party, by Gorman, Meagher, and Hennessey; the party at this time weie about nine yards off, and after they had fired, they cried out " that if Shea would not surrender, they would come and burn the h o u s e ; " the witness and his party then pursued them up the hill, after having exchanged shots; the opposite party divided themselves, and some of them appeared as if endeavouring to cut off witness and his party from the house ; both parties ran towards the house, during which time two shots were fired at witness's party ; the assailants then went up the hill, shouting and firing shots; the witness was guarding Shea's house with the Mullaly's; Shea could not come out as he was lame. Francis Despard, Esq., a Magistrate, swore that at the time of this attack, the country was in a state of great disturbance ; he saw both the Shea's, old and young, very shortly before their house was b u r n t ; he sent to Shea's about two or three days before the house was burnt, to examine about the attack that Fitzpatrick had spoken of, and Shea named several persons to him as having been at the attack, and gave a description of them and it. John Shea, brother to Edmond, who was burnt with all his family, swore, that after his brother's death, in the settlement of his affairs, the witness paid Fitzpatrick a small balance that he claimed on the score of wages, due from the deceased. John Mullally swore that he knew Fitzpatrick and the Shea's that were burnt. Fitzpatrick, he said, was working at Shea's, to his own knowledge, for nine or ten weeks before the attack on the house in October, and for some time afterwards. On Mullally's cross- examination, by Mr. Hatchell, he- said he had been himself occasionally protecting Shea's house, befon and after the attack. His son, his nephew, and his niece were there, and consumed in it. They had fire- arms, and were all guarding the house. It was a good while after t h e burning that Fitzpatrick told him of his knowing the party. He was afraid to divulge it until after the burning, and said he thought it a great sin to keep their names any longer a secret. The son of this witness told him he knew some o f t h e party. He recollects the inquest on the bodies o f t h e persons who were burnt. Fitzpatrick was t h e r e ; but it was before that Fitzpatrick told him of the names; there was n o third person present on the occasion. The Judge called upon I'itzpatrick again— He knew the men's lives rfere at stake; the shots were directed towards him and his party; both sides had an opportunity of seeing each other: there was no one hurt nor any damage done; no tracks of balls were f o u n d ; thinks their object was to kill witness and his p a r t y ; on leaving the house, they fired up the hill, though he » supposed they had no person to fire at t h e r e ; the prisoners were certainly at the attack. Gorman and Maher had blunderbusses — they were the'two that fired last. The Learned Judge summed up the evidence with his usual perspicuity. The J u r y retired, aud remained in their room for near an hour, and on their return brought in a verdict of— Not Guilty. The Court was much crowded, the trial having excited great interest, on account of its connexion with the dreadful conflagration of the Shea's last November. E X E C U T I O N . ( F r om the Carlirw Morning Post.) On Tuesday Michael Finnegan and Hue Finnegan the father and son), and Willaim Nowlan, convicted at the Carlow assizes, for a burglary and robbery in the house of Patrick Parrel 1, at Graneford, on the 8th of April last, were executed, pursuant to their sentence, in f r o n t of the gaol, in presence of the greatest assemblage of people we ever recollect to have seen together in this town. The unfortunate men were attended by the Rev. William Fitzgerald, parish priest of Carlow. They acknowledged the justice of their sentence, and were apparently resigned to their fate. Michael Finnegan, anxious to clcar up a wrong impression, which had been created in the public inind, some time since, and making the only atonement now in his power, said that be had robbed the house o f t h e late Mr. James Hughes, at Milford, M A R Y L E B O N E O F F I C E. EXTRAORDINARY CHARGES OF FRAUD.— Oil F r i d a y , a person, possessing the exterinrand manners of agentleman, dressed in the newest fashion, a frock coat, nankeen trowsers, and white beaver hat, was brought before the sitting magistrate, by Staples, the officer, on a warrant, charging h im with fraud, by obtaining goods under false pretences. I t appeared from the evidence then adduced, that a Mr. Bliss e t t , a hatter of Middle- row, Holborn, had the " honour" of the defendant's custom in the following way:— He had advertised in a newspaper on the 1st of August, his intention of selling three houses for 6001. ; and in a very short period after the advertisement appeared, he received a note f r om the defendant, offering him 5501. for them, although he had never seen them. After other notes had been sent, witness agreed to take 5751. ; the defendant having contrived by this time to scrape up an intimacy, called one day in a carriage during the absence of Mr. B . , and having fitted himself, a youth, his son, and the coachman, with hats, ordered them to be sent to his residence in Seymourplace, where the messenger would be paid on delivery. But this was not the case, the hats were certainly delivered, and not paid for. Finding that at several subsequent calls neither the hats nor money were to be had, witness conceived the defendant never had any intention of purchasing his houses or paying for the hats, and therefore had him apprehended on this charge. A coachman in the employ of Mr. Billings, Unicorn- yard, Oxford- street, stated that the defendant had hired two horses of his master, and inconsequence of that the witness was engaged to drive them, and for several days had the " honour" of driving the defendant to various tradesmen's shops, which the witness enumerated, and among them was a pawnbroker's. On one of these excursions the defendant's son was sitting on the box with witness, when the boy told him he was to have a new hat, and was ordered to drive to Mr. Blissett's shop, where he tried on a hat, and the defendant, gave directions for placing a corkade in it. The witness finding he could not get paid his wages, informed his master, Mr. Billings, of the circumstance, and he having also sent in his bill was never paid, consequently the defendant was refused the horses, and a stop put at that time to his excursions. I t was at t his period of the examina tion intimated to the magistrates, that if the defendant was remanded for a short period, several other charges would be preferred against him. The Magistrates said the ease deserved inquiry, and remanded him until 7 in the evening. The defendant, with great amazement, said he was a professional man, and wanted to know what charges of fraud could be alleged against him ; he had not obtained the hats ujuler a false pretence ; they were left at his house, and why should he be designated a swindler; he was respectable, and had been an officer in several militia regiments; he lately was engaged professionally to transact some business for the widow of the late Deputy Marshal of the King's Bench. The defendant was then remanded, and, at 7 o'clock in the evening, he underwent another very long examination, when the following evidence was adduced. Mr. Joseph Billings, livery- stable keeper, of Unicorn- yard, Oxford street, sworn.— Stated that the defendant came afoout 5 weeks since, hired a pair of horses, and used them about 10 days, when he found, upon inquiry, that he was not likely to get his money, andhe then refused the horses. Witness had received references f r om the defendant, but never had a farthing of money. He was to he paid by the day generally, and his charge was one guinea per day. The defendant made no agreement, and is indebted to witness 101. 8s. Mr. John Richardson, coach- factor, of John- street, Oxfordstreet, stated, that on Wednesday or Thursday fortnight, the defendant came into his shop and said he wished to hire a carriage for a f o r t n i g h t ; lie looked at several, and, having selected one, he said he would send his crest to be put upon it the next day, which lie accordingly did, and it was put on ; at first he said lie would take the carriage on trial, but afterwards said he would give 60 guineas it for. Here the witness, observed he was foolish enough to let him have the carriage without any reference ; nothing was said at the time about payment, b u t t h e defendant's observation—" You seem a decent sort of gentleman, Mr. Richardson, and I will pay you in a few days." I n answer to a question from the defendant, the witness said there was no time specified for the payment. Charles Gilman, shopman to Mr. Blissett, hatter, stated that the defendant came on Friday, the 2d of August, with a note in his hand, and wished t o know if witness's employer had houses to sell, and whether they were his property, looking at the same time round the shop, aud fitting himself with a hat, which was sent to his lodgings by a boy, who, however, did not leave it. The defendant afterwards called and wished to know why the hat was not left. He then ordered ono for his coachman and one for his son, and said he would pay for them all on the following Thursday. The defendant here said he had no intention to swindle any person; he should have duly paid them a l l ; he was as clear as any man living. T. L. Powell, of Mary- la- bonne- lane, stated that the defendant obtained from his shop three whips, and promised to pay for them at a futureperiod. The Magistrate was here informed that other charges were ready to be preferred against the defendant, when it was known he was in custody ; no other charges were then ready. The defendant.— I want to know what I am brought here for ? The Magistrate— Should these charges against you be made out, they amount to swindling; or, in plainer language, obtaining goods under false pretences. The defendant— As a professional man I know they cannot amount to evidence of a felonious intention. The Magistrate asked if there were any other charges. The defendant— Sir, it is impossible ; I owe no other per. son any t h i n g ; i f l w a s a l i a d character I should richly deserve punishment; but 1 am n o t ; I ought to be liberated ; 1 claim my liberty ; they can only proceed against nie by civil process ; they call me a swindler, but I deny the slander, and had not the office been closed, I should have sued Mr. Blissett for applying the epithet lo me; they have no right to bring me here ; it is not a proper tribunal. The Magistrates only take an ex parte statement, and then act upon it. The Magistrate said he bad no right to say that, and he must find bail, himself in 801. and two sureties in 401. each ; which the defendant not being provided with, he was sent to prison for f u r - ther examination. M A R L B O R G U G H - S T R E E T . Saturday W. Mitford, otherwise Capt. Stracv, was brought up in the custody of Plank and Jefferies, the officers, charged by Rogerson, of Gray's- inn- road, with forgery.- It appeared in evidence, that a short time back the prosecutor was in want of a situation in a Merchant's Office, and the prisoner being aware of it made application to hitn, and said he could procure such a situation for him through the medium of a third per son, a friend of his; Mr. Rogerson willingly consented to the proposal o f t h e prisoner, who was to be paid handsomely for his trouble ; but prior to leaving Mr. It. he requested to have some security, in order to convince his friend of Mr. R's responsibility. The prisoner was informed that Mr. I t . had property in the l3ank, on which he suggested the propriety orhaving a Bank post bill for 501. to which the prosecutor readily acceded, and the . prisoner left the house promising to fulfil his engagement soon, and gave his address in the neighbourhood of Westmin ster ; but a length of time passed over and nothing was heard of the prisoner, and on inquiry at the address given it was found that he had left his lodgings." The bill was traced to have passed through the bands of a pawnbroker and the Bank. It appears that the prisoner went to the pawnbrokers with the Bank postbill, with Mr. Rogerson's name forged on it and redeemed 301. worth of articles pledged and received the change. Information o f t h e forgery was immediately laid at this Office, and the officer traced the prisoner to a house in Quebec- street, Mary- le- bone, where he was living in the most expensive style. The Bank In spectors attended the office, and tile evidence being received, the prisoner, who is a fine looking young man, dressed in t h e height of fashion, was remanded. He was handcuffed and bt- ui: placed in a hackney- coach was driven* to the House of Cor rection. , W O R S H I P - S T R E E T . I n consequence of a complaint alleged at this office on a former day, S. Twyford, Esq., the presiding magistrate, issued his warrant for the apprehension of the Rev. W. Eyre, a clergyman, residing at Wing, Buckinghamshire. Mr. Eyre was yesterday brought before t h e same magistrate, and charged with having feloniously assaulted Johanna Qumlan a child 9 years of age, and with having carnally known and abused her. I t appeared f r om the testimony of Mr. Howard, one of the overseers of St. Luke's parish, and of W. Monk, another parish officer, that the prisoner made application to the parish for a female child out o f t h e workhouse. He represented himself to be t h e Rev. W. Eyre, of Buckinghamshire ; that he was curate for two parishes there, and that he did the duty of both. He said he was well known to the Rev. Mr. Towers, formerly curate of St. Luke's, ana also fo the fietf. Mr. Crosby, of Shoreditch. He wished to have a little girl from the workhouse, to be a companion for a little boy, whom he had adopted as his own, and having a little property, it was his intention to divide it between them. He was particularly anxious that the child should be an orphan, in order that it might be solely dependent on himself. He would delight in its education, and therefore, whether the child's morals or its f u t u r e prospects in life were to be regarded, it was important that the parish should accede to his proposition. The parish board readily assented to an offer f r om a person of such apparent respectability. The Clergyman was introduced to look at the children, and he selected Johanna Quintan, who was nearly 9 years of age. Thischild lisped, and could not speak very intelligibly, but the only objection he started was her having a mother in Newgate for shoplifting. He expressed great pleasure that she could say her prayers. He then intimated his intention of leaving London early the next morning, and he should wish to take the child with him that night. There was no objection, and he accordingly took the child with him. It appeared that they slept the first night at a public- house in the city of London, where he was seen in the bed- room of the children in the morning. It was further stated by Johanna Quinlan, that he went by the coach the next day to Buckinghamshire, and on their way that she slept in the same bed with Mr. Eyre, and the little boy, and that he committed his vile purposes upon her that night. Afterwards they proceeded to Wing, w here he, the little boy, and this little girlj had always slept in the same bed, and where lie was in the nightly commission of this abominable conduct. At length some intelligence reached the parish officers of St. Luke, that t h e prisoner, though a clergyman, was an immoral and base character. A young woman, aged 21, informed them she was the mother of the little boy whom the prisoner said he had adopted, and that the prisoner was the father, and that she had been abused by him in the same way when she was eleven years of age. In consequence of this information, Monk the officer was sent down to Wing for the child, and while there the prisoner charged the little girl not to tell Mrs. Edwards, the matron of St. Luke's, of what he had done. When Monk brought t h e child to the first I n n on the road, she related to him the same story she told the Magistrate this day. Attfield, the police officer, stated, he went down with Monk to execute the warrant, which they did on Saturday morning. Upon the prisoner being taken into custody, he declared to Almighty God he was i n n o c e n t ; but he admitted he sometimes had been out late, and when he came hoinc lie had lain down on the bed, and he might have tickled her, but, he observed, there was no harm in that. He said he could not have done what was stated in the warrant with so young a child ; if he had done so, her linen would show it, a n d h e brought the officer a shift to inspect. Ann Abted, the u n f o r t u n a t e young woman who had been formerly ruined by the prisoner, wa3 brought into the parlour where this examination took place. She appeared an interesting young woman, dressed in black, and could scarcely support herselfwhile the prisoner was present. She proved the little boy to be hers by the prisoner, when she was 16 years old. The prisoner was committed to the New Prison, Clerkenwell, for re- examination. He is a tall fine- looking man, about fifty years of age, with all the exterior manners of a gentleman. He was permitted to sit during the examination, and he requested something to eat, as he said he had fasted for two days, and the indulgence was granted. He represented he had been tutor to the children of Mr. Dvcr, the Magistrate. M A N S I O N - H O U S E . A very decent- looking man, holding a respectable situation as clerk to a corn- factor, and whose name we forbear to mention, appeared on summons yesterday before Mr. Alderman Cox, to answer the complaint of Thomas Deacon, a constable of the ward of Aldgate, for disorderly conduct and insulting him in the execution of his duty on Wednesday evening last. One of their watchmen, it appeared, in going his rounds between one and two o'clock in the morning, in Cooper's- row found a female sitting on the steps o f t h e defendant's door nearly in a state of nudity, having nothing on but her chemise and nightcap. Upon inquiry it turned out that she was the wife of the defendant, and the story told by her was, that she had gone to bed, and when her husband, who had been spending the evening out, knocked at the door, came down without dressing herself to let him in. She had some trouble to persuade him to come in, and at length, upon her begging of him not to keep her in that state, he hastily pushed her into the street, and shut the door upon h e r ; nor could all her knocking or entreaties i n - duce him to open it again, and the watchman, finding he could not procure her admittance into the house, wrapped her in his great coat, and conveyed her to the watchhouse, to take care of tier till the morning. Shortly after, however, the defendant made his appearance at the watch- house, and conducted himself in a most . violent manner, charging the eomplainant and the other officers o f t h e night with bringing his wife there with an improper intention. The defendant affected to make very light of the business. The worthy Alderman, however, viewed it much more seriously, and after expatiating upon the brutality and indecency of thus exposing the person of his own wife, and insultiug those whose humanity had rescued her f r om f u r t h e r shame and exposure, directed him to be bound in his own recognizance of 501. to answer any farther proceeding that might be instituted against him. G U I L D H A L L . ROBBERIES BY SERVANTS.— Another instance, in addition to the many which we have lately laid before the public, of depredations committed by servants upon their employers, was heard yesterday before Mr. Aiderman Waithman, in the case of William Smith, a decent looking man, upwards of50- ycars old, who had been in the service of Messrs. Walten, tallow- chandlers and Melters, in Little Britain, for more than fifteen years; confidence was, of course, placedin him, but property was missed for sometime, a n d h e was at length detected with a portion of it upon him, and more was found at his lodgings. He was fully committed for trial. Monday John Matthews, found guilty at the Oxford Assizes of robbing and ill using Joseph Thomas, near Nettlebed, was executed at the County jail. He made a full confession of his guilt, and evinced the most sincere repcntance. DEPARTURE OF HIS MAJESTY FOR SCOTLAND. Soon after two o'clock on Saturday, a caravan with the King's luggage, and several of the domestics, left the King's palace in Pali mall, for Greenwich. Every thing being properly arranged for his Majesty's departure, the King entered his travelling carriage exactly at a quarter before 3 o'clock. His Majesty was attended in his carriage by Lord Francis Conyngiiain and Sir William Knighton. The royal cavalcade moved in the following order:— Two of the 15th Light Dragoons. Two of the King's outriders. The King's carriage. Two outriders behind the carriage. The oflicer anil 8 privates of the 15th Dragoons. A barouche and four, ill which were Messrs Lucas, Holmes, and Whiting, three of his Majesty's principal pages. Two of ttie 15th Light Dragoons. The cavalcade entered St. James's Park near Spring- garden gate, from the Palace yard, and pioceeded at a moderate pace. The Till Yard Guard was drawn out on the parade to receive his [ Majesty with military honours, as were the Royr. l Horse Guards, who were on guard at the Horse Guards. They received bis Majesty with presented swords, and saluted with their trumpet. His Majesty proceeded through Whitehall, Parliament- street, West. uinster- bridge, where numbers of persons were in wailing, in longing expectation lo view his Majesty. ARRIVAL Of HIS MAJESTY AT GREENWICH. At length, at a quarter past three o'clock, two of the 15th Light Dragoons were seen dashing through the west gate at ii. il gallop, and riding along the line in which tlie King's carriage was to proceed. They drew up near the north gale, and having aliglited, made some communication to tlie Governor, Sir R. Keats. ,' The object, we suppose, was to inform him that the royal carriage was on the point of arrival. Accordingly, in about a minute after, two more dragoons, of the same regiment, galloped along the line with equal rtpidily, and the shouts announced to lliosc within the precincts of the Hospital, that his Majesty was not far distant. All eyes were now directed from the terrace, where the company was principally assembled, towards the part where his Majesty must enter. The moment his carriage appeared in view, ( precisely at 20 minutes past three o'clock,) ail hats were off, and he was received with a universal shout of acclamation, which was returned hum the opposite bank of ihe' river, where immense multitudes bad been assembling fiom an early hour in the morning. The windows of this noble building, in the two principal wings, which descend towards the river, were tilled with ladies, dressed with ti. vi utmost elegance. llis Majesty, upon alighting, was received with universal applause, manifested in the most cordial manner. lie looked ex- Uer. iely well, and appeared to be highly sensible of the good will by which his reception was distinguished. Some error, we apprehend, ltaji occtfrred in respect of the hour at which his Majesty intended to embark. A few compliments passed between him and the officers who surrounded him, on descending from the carnage; and lie then seemed desirous that no further time" should lie lost, it was oil this account, we presume, that his Majesty did not enter the interior of the ilospita: , w here a collation had been, as we understood, provided for liiui; but having several tiu. es acknowledged the cheers of the populace by bowing right and left to tiie spectators, and then to the front, looking to the river; lie took the arm of the Governor of Greenwich Hospital as he walked down the steps, and was assisted bv Sir Charles Paget into bis barge. As he took leave of the persons oil shore, lie, in an emphatic manner, exclaimed " God bless you all I" The following persons were on the stairs, and had the honour to be close to the person of his Majesty when be alighted l'rom ! iis carnage :—' The Governor, Sir R i c Wd Governor, Hon. Captain Browell; Commissi^ Col. Meres, the Commandant; Guard of U'Cleverty ; Ma jor Lynn; Captain Arding Lieut. Hutcheson ; Captain Larkins; Sir Thoh. . Commissioner Cunningham and Lady ; Major Cla| George Cockburn ; Sir William Congreve ; Sir J . Br The royal barge was admirably manned, and I with which she was pulled, there being 14 oars, imposing and surprising. Her head was run right over tue Step, and the King was tltus enabled to step into her wit utmost ease.— His Majesty being seated in the barge, she mediately put off amidst much acclamation. His Majesty bo repeatedly to the company in the various craft, and turning Sir Charles Paget, who on this occasion steered, desired him be covered. THE EMBARKATION. The moment the King got on board the Royal George, after mounting what is called the " accommodation l a d d e r " with a tjnod deal of agility, be walked towards the quarter deck, where Earl St. Vincent stood uncovered, and saluted him; they shook bands, and after a conversation of some length, the King was introduced to « acli offic. r on board. The Earl St. Vincent then look his leave of the King, and was breught on shore again, the King descending the accommodation ladder on taking leave of his Lordship. During the greater part of the time his Majesty remained on deck, he kept his eye directed towards the shore, and frequently bowed to the people. He visited every part of the deck, and seemed to be in the best spirits. When the King put his foot en board, the Commodore's broad pendant was taken down from the main- mast, and the Royal standard of England was hoisted in its place, and a signal was made to the telegraph on shore communicating with the Admiralty. Previous to this period, as the craft on , tlie river were stowed very closely together to obtain a nearer view, they did not appear to be very numerous; but when they began to disperse, some towards London, but by far the greater number for the purpose of accompanying the Royal George part of the way, they seemed to cover the whole face of the water to the extent of at least a mile. The Comet steam- packet towed the Royal George ( the wind being calm) down the river. The Lord Mayor's yacht preceded the Royal George, and was towed by the Royal Sovereign steampacket. The Lord Mayor, as Conservator of the river Thames, took precedence of tiis Majesty. At minutes to four o'clock, those noblemen, gentlemen, and officers who were on board, that did not accompany the King to Scotland, took their leave and left the vessel; the accommodation steps were diawn up, and the sailors drew up tiie anchor, and prepared for sailing. At 20 minutes to four o'clock, the Comet steam packet was attached to the Royal George, the King informed the Commodore that he was prepared lo sail, and the Comet's machinery was set in motion. T H E RIVER. In consequence of the general belief that his Majesty would embark at Greenwich for Scotland on Saturdav morning, considerable bustle was excited from a very early hour among the watermen, who ply on the river below London- bridge. At six o'clock, the Lord Mayor's barge was moored o. T the Tower, and those of the Goldsmiths' and Skinners' Company off the Tower stairs. The different steam- boats were also stationed in the same vicinity, and thus, as their intention of accompanying the royal yacht in its progress down the river had been previously advertised, the various individuals were collected into one mass, whom curiosity, etiquette, or loyalty, ab. tracted for the day from their usual avocations. The Lord Mayor's barge was the first that received on board its numerous company, arid sailed down the riv*. r about half- past six o'clock, accompanied by the boats « f the water bailift and the harbour- master, and attendee! by the Royal Sovereign steam packet, which was engaged to tort' ii down the river, alter it left Greenwich. Shortly afterwards tl? » barge of the Goldsmiths', as also that of the Skinners' Company, followed in the train of the chief civic magistrate, beautifully decorated with different kinds of Hags, and moving slowly to the notes of military music. In the barge of the Lord Mayor, the band of the regiment quartered in the Tower was embarked, for the entertainment of the ladies, with which its interior was filled. On arriving at Greenwich, the number of boats that were stationed raund the Royal George, and the crowd that was assembled in front of the railings of the Hospital led the different parties who had come by water from London to expect that his vlajesty's embarkation would immediately take place. The Lord Mayor iu consequence placed the" city barge close to the shore on the right side of the flight of steps before the Hospital, and the directors of the Goldsmiths' and Skinners' Company proceeded to station theirs on the other side of if. The helmsman of the Goldsmiths' barge was prevented, however, from taking up such a position by running foul of a hawser by which a private yacht « as moored to the land; and the consequence of the shock thus given to his vessel was that the bowsprit of the ^ acht got entangled in the railwork of the barfi, e, and broke it in pieces before it could be extricated. The company on board were much alarmed by the accident, especially as it appeared at first likely to occasion them much more serious inconvenience than it afterwaids produced. After the alarm had subsided, the barge took its place by the side of the Lord Mayor's, and though some of its gilded splendour was destroyed, still formed a subject of admiration to the crowd in its vicinity. Immediately after his Majesty had embarked, the Lord Mayor, as Conservator of the llivcr Thames, ordered the Royal Sovereign steam packct to take the lead of all the vessels iti the river, and to clear a course immediately for his Majesty. Ti. e order was instantly obeyed, and though numerous vessels started at the same [ time with his Lordship, not the slightest circumstance occurred to impede his Majesty during his progress down *' the broad bosom of the princely \ hames." WOOLWICH. The Royal George, in its progress to this place, shot before all the steam vessels and yachts in the river, with the exception of the Lord Mayor's, and received from each of them three cheers as s'ie passed. His Majesty, who was standing on deck and conversing with the officers of the vessel, seemed by the manner in which he acknowledged them to be much gratified with the loyal feelings of his subjects, atid to be desirous of expressing his gratification by every means in his power. At a quarter before five o'clock, the Royal George, which in its progress from Blackwail had been frequently involved in the clouds of smoke emitted by the different steam packets, came opposite the town of Woolwich, and was welcomed by a royal salute from the batteries, and three sloops of war that happened to be stationed there. The yards of these vessels were manned, and all their different flags flying. The sailors cheered when the King passed them, as did also the workmen in the different dock- yards and public works. At two of them a large flag was displayed, on which was inscribed, " Long live King George the Fourth." At. the arsenal the artillery, the sappers and miners, a regiment of infantry, ( the Buffs, we believe,) and a troop of cavalry, were drawn out at the water's edge tc greet his Majesty. The Standard of England was hoisted on the church. GRAVESEND. The interest excited by the expected approach of his Majesty to this place, in his way to the More, was scarcely less ardent than that which we have dcsciibed as having existed at Greenwich. On Saturday morning as early as ten o'clock, the company began again to flow into the town, and in a short time ail the stables were filled. The visiters immediately " proceeded to the banks of the river, and to such elevated places as presented themselves on the shore. The terrace, above the Bathing- house especially, was thronged with spectators, who, throughout the morning, kept casting " l o n g and lingering looks" towards London. As the tide receded, hope became extinguished, and at last it was concluded that the multitude was destined to a third mortification, and many actually resolved to return home, and laugh at those who had the folly to remain. The arrival in the town, however, of the Chatham division of marines from that place excited new hope— and many wavering dispositions were resolved to wait the issue. In Tilbury Fort preparations were made to fire a salute, for which purpose a small detachment of artillery was sent over. At half past seven the royal yacht came down in the most majestic style towed by the Comet, and surrounded' by upwards of a hundred boats, which had set out from Gravelend to meet i t . His Majesty was » « n deck, and was repeatedly cheered. He appeared to be highly delighted and repeatedly bowed his thanks. As his Majesty passed the fort, a royal salute was tired, and the marines presented arms. SOUTH END. Tlie mosf anxious expectations prevailed in this town throughout the whole of Saturday, on the subject of his Majesty's approach. It was nine o'clock, however, before the Lord Mayor's barge, closely followed by the royal yacht, was faintly seen from the shore ; and, at the same moment, the report of a salute fired from the garrison at Sheerness, announced his Majesty's arrival at the Nore. At this point the Lord Mayor took liis leave of the Royal George amidst loud cheers ; his iVInje intimating his sense of his Lordship's loyal and respectful/ tion, by repeatedly bowing aud kissing his hand. The Lord 7 then commenced his return lo the metropolis. A fresh breeze now followed the cam* which had prevjor prevailed, and his Majesty proceeded into the Channel. Lord Gwydvr, the Lord Great Chamberlain, Lord Ly and the Earl of Cathcart, follow his Majesty's yacht in vessel. - f t o t r s Corner, A R L E , N O W T H E K I N G ' S COME.

With feelings of deep humiliation and regret we this day record another illustration of the instability of earthly prosperity, and of the vain inadequacy of rank and power, and all the other objects of human ambition. Yesterday morning died, by his own hand, ltobert Marquis of Londonderry, the efficient Prime Minister of this Empire. The particulars of this deplorable event, aud a biographical sketch of his Lordship's public life, will be found in our subsequent columns, accompanied by some observations, extracted from the Opposition Journals, which have, in general, pressed forward with an honourable zeal to render the acknowledgements due to the virtues and talents of the lamented Minister. There are three views in which the character of this great man may be examined— as a Statesman; as an Orator; and as a Diplomatist: and in each will be found a great preponderance of those qualities, which command respect, and even admiration. As a Statesman he will be found consistently adhering to the same principles during twenty- eight years of his incessant political activity from the age of 25 years, the maturity of his understanding. It is in his capacity as a statesman, that we can most justly appreciate the native virtues of his character; the personal integrity which ne. ver deviated, the courage which never shrunk, the sinceritv which, never sought concealment, and as the consequence of these, the calmness which nothing could disturb; all these virtues were demanded, and they were conspicuously displayed, in the part which Lord Londonderry took in effecting the Irish Union, the great monument of his political talents. A man of less firmness, or of less sincerity, would never have succeeded in dealing with the Irish Aristocracy in that tlay ; perhaps the most corrupt, and indisputably the most punctilious, class of mankind ; by telling them calmly that he was alike prepared to purchase them by bribes, or to meet them in the field, Lord Castlereagh disclosed at once, that he was master of the springs of their actions, and they fell easily into his arms. The same consciousness of personal integrity ( unhappily too clearly distinguished from political rectitude in many cases), admirably sustained his Lordship in the trials which he was to undergo in the British Cabinet; and delected in a flagrant act of political transgression, and betrayed by a colleague, the clearness of his hands, and the steadiness of his resolution, brought him out of both difficulties without dishonour— out of the last with triumph. Of Lord Londonderry's exemption from personal corruption no better proof can be desired than this,— he who was the agent in bribing a nation was never charged with appropriating a single guinea to his own use,— lie who, as it was suspected, had managed, half the Cabinets of Europe, by influence of money, was never imagined to have misapplied the funds placed at his disal— and he who was, during ten years a leading Cabinet Minister,— if not the very first, died the possessor of a single office; nor are we aware that any of his numerous brothers, except LordStewart who has fairly earned his station by his own services, is the holder of a beneficial office. In this Lord Londonderry is honourably distinguished from Mr, Pitt and Mr. Percival, who both the one and the other accumulated sinecures in their own persons, and provided for their relatives at the public charge. The only serious imputation which has ever been cast upon Lord Londonderry's character is a charge of cruelty in the measures adopted by the Government, of which he was a member, for the suppression of the Irish rebellion ; the imputation of wanton cruelty is, however, repelled by the tenor of his public and private life. That he was not able to cause the laws to be always respected amid the tumult of a civil war is scarcely a reproach, inter arma silent leges; that the excesses committed by the irritated loyalists should be exaggerated beyond all measure of ordinary falsehood, by the disappointed traitors of Ireland, cannot be a subject of astonishment with those who remember all the changes rung upon the " Manchester massacre." But of the real humanity of the Irish Government of Lord Londonderry, this indisputable testimonial remains, that for the tremendous, and almost successful, rebellion of 1798, the executions were fewer than for the " boyish riot"" as it was emphatically called by the Attorney General, of 1803, under what was affectedly styled the " mild and merciful government of Lord Hardwicke," while the pardons in the former case were to those in the latter as hundreds of thousands to unity. As a British Minister Lord Londonderry will be most justly, and appropriately, compared with Mr. Pitt; and in all leading points of comparison he will be found to have a manifest advantage." Mr. Pitt found the Empire enjoying peace, and comparative prosperity, and he left it plunged in a war, so dark and hopeless, that he has been said to have sunk under his own consciousness of the desperate condition of his country. Lord Londonderry, on the other hand, found the Empire in that gloomy state, where his predecessor could detect no ray of hope, and he raised her to the rank of Arbitress of Europe. It may be said, that it is unfair to argue from events, but it is to be remembered, that Mr. Pitt's expeditions uniformly failed; while from 1812, when Lord Londonderry took alead in the Cabinet, all the military enterprizes of Great Britain were as uniformly prosperous. Such an uniform result in each case could not be the effect of chance. ButLord Londonderry had not, like Mr. Pitt, only tofight the battles of the country, he had to repair at home the consequences of 25 years of lavish expenditure ; and he lived to see what we trust we may safely call an unequivocal dawning of a successful issue to this important struggle. As an Orator, Lord Londonderry was always successful in satisfying the House of Commons, though frequently the object of ridicule, and never, except in reply, where he was unrivalled, of admiration. The viees of Mr. Pitt's style, upon which he had formed his elocution, adhered to him to the last; and his own clear and succinct understanding constantly involved hint in a thousand extravagancies or slovenlinesses, among the pleonasms, expletives, and synonimes of his great master. When, however, he escaped from his artificial oratory. Lord Londonderry rarely failed to be eloquent; and his replies and other unprepared speeches were always his happiest efforts. Some of them, indeed, have been treated as models of parliamentary eloquence. As a Diplomatist, we believe Lord Londonderry has no rival in British history. The pacification of Paris will form an eternal monument of his wisdom ; and, above all, of that temper and moderation, which were under the circumstances the strongest, and most difficult proofs of it. Mr. O'Meara tells us that Napoleon sneered at his neglect of securing an advantageous commercial treaty with France, but those who reflect that no guarantee for such a treaty could be obtained on earth, will not condemn the Minister who forbore to insist upon a bargain which could not be permanently enforced; which must serve as the root of internal discontent in France, and the germ of future war between the nations. Napoleon has treated as unskilful and absurd, the order of battle by which he was beaten at Waterloo, and it is consistent that he should use like terms of contempt towards the measures which rendered the consequences of that victory eternal. DEATH OF THE MARQUIS OF LONDONDERRY. We have received the Paris papers of Saturday last. The Journal des Debats gives the following naval intelligence, on the authority of a letter dated Toulon, July 31, viz. The squadron under the command of Rear- Admiral Hamelin sailed at 5 o'clock this morning. It consists of the Colosse, on board of which the Admiral lias hoisted his flag ; the frigates La Guerriere and La Thetis ; the corvette L'Echo ; and the galliot Le Monius, which is to will be reinforced by F R O M A M O R N I N G P A P E R. A great sensation was yesterday produced in this metropolis by the sudden death of the Marquis of Londonderry. The melancholy intelligence reached the public offices early in the morning, and by one or two o'clock had spread into the city. The accounts, both in the west end of the town and in the city, were at first listened to with incredulity. He had so repeatedly appeared in public, without the appearance of complaint,— he had attended the prorogation of Parliament in apparently full vigour and high spirits,— and he had been mentioned in all the accounts of the King's embarkation as one of the Ministers who attended his Royal Master on that occasion, that people could not at first bring their minds to believe the unexpected change. Various rumours were in circulation in the morning respecting the immediate causes of his Lordship's death; It was stated in an evening paper that the noble Marquis had been slightly indisposed in the course of Friday and Saturday l a s t ; that in the evening of the latter day he was cupped,, and also used the warm bath; that on Sunday he found himself better, and that there was not then the slightest apprehension either on the part of his family or his medical attendants, that he was in such imminent danger. The immediate cause of his, death, it was added, was an attack of gout in the stomach. The nature of the answers, however, given at his Lordship's house in St. James's- square, did not confirm the statement. The domestics would give no intelligence respecting the death of their noble master. They said that they had orders to announce the death of his Lordship, but that they were unable to give any further information. In the village of North Cray, which adjoins his Lordship's country seat, we found the following account in circulation :— For the last ten days, the Marquis had been suffering under a nervous fever, accompanied by a depression of spirits. On Friday he underwent the operation of cupping; after which, it appeared his fever did not increase, though no alteration in the state of his mind was perceptible, he being still subject to despondency. Yesterday morning his Lordship rose and went into his dressing- room. He then desired the servant by whom he was attended to request that his physician, Dr. Banlchead, of Lower Brook- street, Grosvenor- square, might be sent for. During the absence of his servant, it appears that his Lordship had got possession of a razor or sharp instrument, which he applied to his throat, aud divided the great . artery on the left side of his neck. When the servant re- entered the dressing- room, the Marquis fell into his arms, and almost immediately expired. The following circumstance, which was collected in the village of North Cray, ought to be mentioned as an indication of the previous state of his Lordship's mind. On Saturday the Noble Marquis was heard to exclaim to one of his attendants—" Business and I must part— the perplexities of office are too much for me— I cannot endure them much longer." ~ If is said that his Lordship made use of similar language about a year ago, when his health appeared to be in the same state as it was on the present occasion. It has been reported that his Lordship received a fall from his horse during the last week, but this, on inquiry, we believe to be unfounded. His Lordship refused to have his bed made oil Sunday night, expressing an apprehension of taking cold. We understand, however, that he rose as early as seven o'clock yesterday morning, arid drank a cup of tea, and ate a muffin, before the fatal event took place. Yesterday morning Dr. Bankhead had an interview with the Earl of Liverpool, and laid before him a statement of the circumstances attending the death of his noble colleague. In the course of the day Mr. Vansittart and several of the neighbouring gentry sent their expressions of condolence to the family of the Noble Lord. Many of his relatives had arrived at North Cray. The melancholy tidings of the death of the noble M; trquis was brought by Mr. Vich, the King's Messenger, who arrived in town between 12 and one o'clock, having travelled with the greatest speed in a chaise and four. It is impossible to describe the consternation that prevailed at all the public offices. The Lord Chancellor and Lord Liverpool were the only Cabinet Ministers who were sufficiently near to come to town. The latter came from Cooinbe Wood. Mr. Hobhouse, the under Secretary of State for the Home Department, sent off dispatches by Mr. Walter, the King's Messenger, to the King in Scotland, and to Mr. Peel. Dispatches were also forwarded to Earl Bathurst, at his seat at Cirencester. The Earl of Harrowby, the Duke of Wellington, and Lord Maryborough are out of England, having left for the Netherlands. Mr. Freeling, Private Secretary to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, waited on that minister at Blackheath, to acquaint him with the awful event. The Marquis of Londonderry has been described as the prop of the existing Ministry— with what truth is not yet apparent. That he was one of the most remurkuble men to be found amongst the rulers of any enlightened people, will hardly seem paradoxical to those who compare his characteristics as Minister of State with the nature and magnitude of those emergencies which called them into frequent action. As a member of society, apart from office, we bear a willing tribute to those valuable qualities by which his Lordship acquired and preserved the affections of his numerous friends. We pass by the mere accomplishments and elegancies which distinguished him, since to dwell upon them would be to depreciate the more solid virtues. Lord Londonderry was a man of unassuming manners, of simple tastes, and ( so far as regarded private life) of kind and generous dispositions. Towards the poor he was beneficent : in his family mild, considerate, and forbearing. He was firm to the connexions and associates of his earlier days, not only those of choice, but of accident, when not unworthy ; and to promote them, and to advance their in- In end of this week, which preyed en his mind very much. He observed to a gentleman at the House of Commons, on Tuesday, that the very harassing Session, they had just finished, would be the death of him. Mr. Canning is talked of as likely to succeed the Marquis. He is at present at Henley- on- Thames. On Friday last the Marquis was in London to take leave of his Majesty, and on his return home complained ofillness. Some of the persons, in his establishment, that clay, remarked that his looks seemed to betray great agitation of . mind. Dr. Bankhead, who had been for many years his Lordship's Physician, was immediately sent for, and continued in attendance to the last. On Saturday his illness seemed to increase, accompanied with much fever. On Sunday a more favourable turn took place, and, as we have heard, on Sunday night, he . slept well, and appeared early this morning considerably better. Among many statements given out here, perhaps only for the purpose of satisfying the curious and stopping inquiry, it is said, that at seven o'clock this morning he was so much recovered, that the Marquis called for breakfast, of which he partook with appetite and apparent satisfaction. At eight o'clock, when the Marchioness left the apartment for a moment, the act of destruction took place. It was instantly discovered, and one of his footmen supported him until Dr. Bankhead was called. After some struggles of expiring nature, a glimpse of reason appeared to return. He pressed Dr. Bankhead's hand, and said " Doctor, I die a happy man. It is impossible to describe the auguish of the Marchioness. She rushed to the body of her dear Lord — clung to it in spite of all resistance, and it was not for some time, and without difficulty, that she could be rescued from the painful scene. We understand that she has continued almost in a state of delirium during the day. Lady Suffield has been at North Cray since the Prorogation of Parliament. Her services at this moment of affliction are invaluable. Miss Fitzroy and Miss Napier have also been for a short time domesticated here; so that all the valuable aid of female attentions are fortunately at hand. Lady Mount Edgcumbe arrived at five o'clok. Mr. Planta, the private secretary to the Marquis, was on his way from Hastings to London, and having heard at Bromley of the event, he came instantly across the country, and arrived at the house at twelve. This gentleman's presence, so unlooked for, yet desirable, was considered of great value in the delicate circumstances of the moment. We understand that the Marquis had been, for a long time, suffering under the oppression of a plethoric habit and determination of blood to the head. On Friday these symptoms increased, and became oppressive. With a view to relief, we learn, that his medical adviser ordered him to be bled, and on Saturday to be cupped. The latter appeared to give considerable ease, and it was hoped that a restoration of health would ensue. Whatevermay have been the opinion of the world as to his political character, however applauded by friends or defamed by enemies, in this sweet retreat of private life— in the bosom of his family,— in this retirement, the Marquis of Londonderry was the most amiable and beloved of men. We have, seldom witnessed a more unaffected display of grief than was presented on all the roads in the neighbourhood of this place. The people kept up hope to the last— they dreaded that the reports would be confirmed, aud when the fatal truth could no longer be concealed, heart- felt sorrow and lamentation pervaded them all. It was impossible to find a more amiable object of private life than the Marquis exhibited at this place; hither lie fled from political contests. Harassed in the world by enemies to his measures, he seemed determined at his home to make every one round him a friend, and well and fully has he succeeded. In every act of kindness, in every step of bounty or of charity, the Marchioness of Londonderry was his constant companion, and now prayers lor her, and invocations of blessings on her head, accompany. all the expressions of sorrow from the people for his Lordship's loss. serve as a tender.

M. Menlhou has asked leave of the'Minister of Justice to go lo Poictiers. No answer was given to this request, but the son of General Berton having gone to the Minister himself to obtain permission to receive at least some instructions from him, received verbally the assurance that the permission would not be granted. A letter from Madrid, dated July 30, contains the following statements:— " It is generally reported that an official communication has been made by the EnglishAmbassador to our Ministry, purporting, that if any Powers attack our liberty, England will support us with ali her forces by land and sea. The Turkey Mail arrived yesterday morning, bringing letters from Constantinople to the lltli ult. The intelligence of the destruction of the Pacha, and 2,000 souls on board his vessel, had created a great feeling in the Turkish capital. The loss is estimated at 18 millions of piastres. Notwithstanding, these letters state that tranquillity existed. Fifteen hundred of the factious had been seized, of whom between three and four hundred had been strangled in the bazaars and public streets ? The Greek fleet were cruizing off Ipsara, to the number of 55 or 60, and had been as far north as Scio Roads. GERMAN PAPERS. Moldavia arid Wall. ichiu.—' By the last accounts f r om Bucharest, we learn that official notice has been received there cf the appointment of a Hospodar of Wallachia, in the person of Greg o r y s Ghika, one of the Wallachian Boyars among the Deputies at Constantinople. The same accounts say that a similar appointment has been made for Moldavia, and announced by Firmans of the Sultan, but the name of the Hospodar for Moldavia was not yet known at Bucharest.— Austrian Observer, Juli/ 31. Bucharest, July 19.— The Ottoman troops in L i t t l e Wallachia, according to the'report of the Starost there, are reduced to 1500 men. The final departure of all the Turkish troops still here, is expected to take place immediately. Hassan Bey, with the division under his command, amounting to 1300 men, belonging to the Pacha of Geurgewo, marched on the 16th to go to that fortress, — Austrian Observer. implied, nor abandoned any friend who claimed and merited his assistance. A N O T H E R ACCOUNT. His Lordship was making active preparations for proceeding to the Continent, in order to be present at the approaching Congress. He had even appointed Thursday next for his departure, and a steam packet was engaged to convey himself and suite on that day to Calais. On Sunday he observed to some persons about him that he felt chilly, and that he feared he had taken fresh cold. Those symptoms, however, seemed to leave him towards evening, and he retired to rest apparently in good health. Yesterday morning he rose at his usual hour and came down to breakfast, but he had not sat more than a quarter of an hour, when he was seized with what seemed to be a violent spasmodic affection of the stomach, and in 10 minutes he was a corpse. Lord George Seymour and Dr. Bagot, of Grosvenor- street, left town instantly on receiving intelligence of the afflicting event. A N O T H E R ACCOUNT. The Marquis was observed to be very low spirited on Friday and Saturday last, and would often say that he was surrounded by spies, and inquire who was in the room, as he was sure there were people watching him; and on being informed that his Private Secretary was down stairs, he said there were other people as well. Last Sunday he took a walk; when he came home he was very incoherent in his conversation. His attendants removed every means of self- destruction out of his reach. His pistols were taken away, and it was supposed, that nothing was left in his reach of a destructive nature. On coming out of his room this morning, and going into his dressing- room, Dr. Bankhead followed him; and just as they got in, the Marquis said, " It is of no use," and immediately fell into the Doctor's arms, and was a corpse in a moment. He had cut the carotid artery, which leads to the brain, with a small penknife, with the point turned the reverse way to which they usually are," which he had taken out of his writing- desk. He was expected to go to Vienna, to the Congress, the latter His Lordship was born in 1769, he was the eldest son of the late Marquis by his first Lady, sister to the late Marquis of Hertford. His Lordship distinguished himself when a boy for great decision and intrepidity of character. In a boating excursion with his tutor, to whom he was much attached, the latter having fallen byaccident into the water, careless of danger he plunged in after him, and was the happy means of rescuing his friend from death. Early in life his Lordship showed a desire to engage in political affairs, and he was scarcely twenty- one years of age when he was elected Member of the Irish Parliament for the county of Down. The election was fiercely contested, and the success of the Hon. Mr. Stewart cost his father no less than 30,0001. The young Member ranged himself with the popular side of the House, and spoke, for the first time in Parliament, in support of the right of Ireland to trade with India on free pri ciples. This debut is noticed by the late Lord Charlemont in terms of approbation. We find him, soon after, one of the most important supporters of the Government. Lord Camden was appointed Viceroy of Iieland in 1795. Mr. Stewart declared absolutely in favour of his Lordship's Administration. The sister of Lord Camden became the second wife of the then Lord Londonderry, a circumstance that tended much to strengthen the political alliance of the parties. Lord Cliarlemont thus writes to a friend, shortly after the arrival of Lord Camden in Ireland:—" I have seen Robert ( Mr. Stewart), and have given him but little comfort with regard to his friend's administration. I cannot but love him ( Mr. Stewart)— but why so Befitted} 1 '' Mr. Stewart succeeded Mr. Pelham, as Secretary to his Excellency. From that period to the completion of the Union the administration of Ireland was encompassed with difficulties, which nothing but consummate wisdom and firmness could enable it to overcome. In the Irish Parliament— that assembly where there was all the profession that was inconsistent with sincerity— where there were all the personality and passion that were inconsistent with deliberation, did Lord Castlereagh rise, night after night, the temperate and imperturbable organ of the measures of Government. The part he took in bringing about the Union of his native, country with Great Britain is well known. Shortly after the Union Lord Castlereagh distinguished hitpself as an important auxiliary in support of the measures of Mr. Pitt. He was appointed a Privy Councili o r , President of the Board of Controul, and in 1805, a crisis of great difficulty in the management of foreign affairs, Minister of War. It is impossible to pass over in silence a transaction which took place in 1809, which excited much interest at the time, and was expected to be the prelude to many disasters to this country. It is known that about the middle of the year 1809, a hostile meeting took place between Lord Castlereagh an^ Mr. Canning— his Lordship charged Mr. Canning with want of faith and honour in his conduct towards him— that Mr. Canning obtained a promise on his personal solicitation, that Lord C. should be removed from office— and that with this promise in his pocket, he not only concealed the whole affair from Lord Castlereagh, but permitted him to remain in this state of delusion, to continue to conduct the entire arrangement of the campaign and to engage in a new expedition of the most important, extensive, and complicated nature, under the full persuasion, that he enjoyed Mr. Canning's cordial and bona fide support as a co- operating colleague. Mr. C. answered the demand for a meeting without delay. The conduct of the Noble Viscount was that of a man of high honour; though that of his adversary, in the opinion of many, did not appear so satisfactory. The Noble Lord followed the general policy of Mr. Pitt. As Minister for Foreign Affairs, he continued to enjoy the ample confidence of his Sovereign and his colleagues. Our Continental Missions were placed entirely under his disposition. His noble presence, the dignity of his manners, fitted him for the association of Kings. As Plenipotentiary Extraordinary to the Continent, at different times, his conduct as the representative of this great nation has been much praised. The House of Commons methirn, on- his. return, with expressions of applause such as no event could ever before elicit from that body. The part, which his Lordship took in the measures of Parliament, up to the moment of his death, is sufficiently known to the public. As if destined to witness the last sanction to those Acts which ( how soon !) were destined to be the last public acts of his life, he attended the Spealer at the bar of the House of Lords, to witness the prorogation of Parliament by the Sovereign. The first occasion, on which the Noble Marquis became known to the English public, was that of his seconding the Address to the King on the memorable 29th of October, 1795. The Session of Parliament was opened on that day, the chief object of calling it together at that early period of the year was, in the first place, to mitigate the evil, arising from the. scarcity of corn which then prevailed throughout the country, and to adopt vigorous measures for putting a stop to the meetings of vast bodies of people, which, at that time had been held in the vicinity of the metropolis under the direction of the Corresponding Society, and which were represented by the Ministers as seditious and treasonable. The outrageous* attack made that day on his Majesty, while he was proceeding to open the Parliament, was dwelt upon as a complete justification of the severe Acts passed for the above purpose. The Address, in answer to the King's Mc- ssage, was moved in the House of Commons by Lord Dalkeith, and seconded by the subject of these memoirs, then the Honourable Robert Stewart, in a speech of moderate length, which was his maiden speech, aud held out no promise, either in point of eloquence or argument, of that great talent and expansion of mind, for which he has Since been so eminently distinguished. ' Conjecture is of course busied with Lord Londonderry's successor. Mr. Canning's was the first name which suggested itself, notwithstanding the high and lucrative situation to which he has been lately appointed We have heard that Lord Liverpool has named Sir C. Stewart, our Ambassador in Paris, and that he is likely to be the successor ^- Morning Chronicle. C o u r t aiiD d W i o n a & f e J e l D ^ The Duke of York had a long interview with the King on Saturday, previous to his departure for Edinburgh, to take leave of his Majesty. Yesterday her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, accompanied by the Princesses Alexandria Victoria and Feodor, left the Tower- stairs for Ramsgate in the Victory steam- yacht. It is singular that Napoleon Bonaparte, the Duke of Wellington, and the Marquis of Londonderry, should all have been born in the same year, namely, the year 1769. ( F R O M A C O R R E S P O N D E N T .) The latest advice of the progress of the Royal squadron was brought by a king's Messenger, who left them ofF Yarmouth, at five o'clock on Sunday afternoon, all well. — The Royal George yacht, with his Majesty on board, was then in tow of the James Watt steam ship, and was followed by the Comet, towing the Royal Sovereign yacht. What little wind there was, was favourable. If it should become adverse, it is expected that his Majesty will trust to the unfettered power of steam, and embark on board the James Watt, unquestionably the finest steam ship in Europe, both as regards her size, the beauty of her form, and the power and perfection of her machinery. It will be paying a just compliment to the talents of the country he is about to visit ; for nothing will be more gratifying to every true Scotsman, than to see their Sovereign arrive in a vessel, bearing the name of their great philosopher and mechanician, by whose inventions the powers of steam have been rendered applicable to this, and to so many purposes of national benefit. Yesterday Sir William Curtis arrived in Leith Roads in his yacht. The honourable Baronet lauded in the forenoon, and, along with another gentleman, visited several places in the city— Edinburgh, Aug. 10. ( F r om the Edinburgh. Star.) His Majesty's ship Forte, Capt. Sir T. Cochrane, arrived in Leith Roads yesterday morning. She is one of the vessels which f o rm the squadron that is to attend his Majesty. Several other vessels of the Royal squadron have also com « in sight, but the names we have not yet learned. I t is impossible to convey any accurate idea of the extensive preparations which are now going forward in almost every part of the city ; and it is gratifying to observe that they are all conducted with the greatest regularity. The line of scaffolding erecting l'rom t h e ' P a l a c e of Holyrood to the Castle wiil greatly enhance the picturesque effect of the grand pageant which is to take place. The Palace of Holyrood House already presents the appearance of comfort and animated splendour, in consequence of the preparations that are going forward. The change from its late neglected stateis strikingly perceptible, and calculated to impress the mind with feelings of deep interest, while contemplating the events that have led to it after a lapse of so many years. Yesterday the students attending the University held a meeting in the Natural Philosophy Class- room, when they resolved that on the occasion of the procession of his Majesty, they should wear either blue or black coats, and that each colour should form a body by itself. A committee was also appointed to consider what motto they should displav on that day, and to prepare a loyal address, either in Latin or English poetry, or prose, to be presented to his Majesty. The Secretary of the Senatus Academicus has issued a notice to t h e students attending the University, directing them to enter their names with the college librarian, f r om whom they are. to receive tickets to j o in the other public bodies in the procession of his Majesty f r om the Palace to the Castle, & e. The general illumination is fixed to take place on Tuesday . evening, should his Majesty arrive on Monday, the evening after his arrival being the time fixed for this demonstration of rejoicing Fire- works are to be let off at the western extremity of George- street, besides the bonfire to be made on Arthur's Seat, on the night of his Majesty's arrival. Extraordinary meetings of the Commission of the General Assembly, and of the Society in Scotland for Propagating Christian Knowledge, take place this day, to consider the p r o - priety of addressing the King on his visit to Scotland. On Wednesday, at the meeting of the Town Council, an address to his Majesty on his arrival in this city was unanimously agreed to, and will be presented on the day of his arrival. C O U R T O F C H A N C E R Y , Ahc. 12. This Court was occupied all day in hearing bankrupt petitions, which were of n o public interest. A considerable sensation was excited amongst the gentlemen of the bar, about one o'clock, by a communication which was made to Mr. Shadwell ( we believe) of the sudden death of the Marquis of Londonderry. The intelligence having passed from Mr. Shadwell to Mr. Home, an anxious curiosity was very generally manifested by all present, to ascertain the particulars of this event. This feeling was at length so evident, and increased so as to attract the observation of the Lord Chancellor, who asked the Registrar whether any thing had occurred? Being by him informed, in a private way, of the fact, his Lordship was visibly affected. The business of the Court was not, however immediately interrupted, but after a further communication with the Registrar, in a low tone of voice, his Lordship said to the bar, " I will return in a few moments," and then went into his private room.
