DEFEAT OF THE ASHANTEES. It is with great pleasure that we have to communi cate some highly gratifying intelligence from the coast of Africa; the Ashantees, whose temporary triumph had given them great confidence, have ventured on an other battle, and have been signally defeated. This intelligence is communicated in dispatches re ceived at the Colonial Office, dated the'lBth of July.— They are brought by Colonel SUTHERLAND, who has arrived in the THETIS, Sir JOHN PHILLIMOREO—• Colonel SUTHERLAND had resigned the command to Colonel GRANT. The principal engagement took place on the 11th of July ; the Ashantees had advanced within three miles of Cape Coast Castle, when our •artillery opened upon them, and committed terrific havoc, in consequence of which, and the charge of our croups, they were com pletely defeated. On the 12th and 13th some skirmisbes took place with detachthents of the enemy, in which they were again defeated with loss. One of the results of our successes was, the release of Mr. 'WILLI st s, Who had so long been detained by the Ashantees. The following account of the battle has been received from Portsmouth, where the Turns had arrived,:, " Poarsmoinu, San. 49,1884. " Arrived his Majesty's frigate THETIS, of 46 guns, Sir JOHN PIHLLIMORE, Knt. with dispatches from Cape Coast Castle, announcing that the Ashantees were to-. tally defeated in an action which took place on the 11th of July, between their force, commanded by the KING in. person, and a British allied force, under the corn- Thaßti of •Lieut e Colonel SUTHERLAND, in which our force sustained a loss of about .500 men in killed and wounded, principally of the Fantee force. Capt. was the only Officer killed. The amount of the loss of the Ashantees is not known. Their force was estimated at about 15,000 men. We had oppdrtunity, in this battle, of the use of field-pieces, from which were fired grape and canister-shot, •which caused .great havoc among the enemy, and, so much surprised them, that they sheaved no disposition whatever to renew the battle. They came down with a determined intention to take the Castle. The battle was fought about three-quar ters of a mile from the shore. Parties of marines and seamen were landed from the THETIS to aid in the con test. When the THETIS left Cape Coast, on the 22d of July, nothing had been heard or seen of tile enemy since the battle, although parties had been sent out in search of them. It was therefore supposed that they had given up the contest, and !Lid retired to their own country. Col. SUTHRRLA ND came home in the THETIS: • This forenoon we received the Moniteur of Tuesday, by Express. It contains an account of the entry of his Majesty CHARLES X. into Paris, on Monday; and a list of Appointments in his Household. The French, ever fond of spectacle, bad the ceremony of the KING'S entrance some+s hat marred, by cold and continued rain but, notwithstanding this, a great part of the popula tion of Paris was in motion early on Monday morning. —About nine o'clock the troops •took their station in two parallel lines, the Nationll Guard on one side, and the Royal Guard and ter ops of the line on the other. The windows, which were crowded with spectators, were ornamented with elegant draperies, devices, and 'emblems; while the white flag waved over the entrance of a great number of buildings. The KING left St. Cloud at half-past eleven o'clock. Arrived at the Maillot gate, his MAJESTY then mounted his hor,e, and the procession was formed according to a programme previously circulated. The KINCY was preceded by several squadrons of horse and bodies of infantry, as well as by the. DAUPHIN, the Dukes of 011- LEANS and 13ovanon, their Aides-de-Camp, &c. Aftcr his Mat Esrr followed the Marshals of France and several other Military Officers. A carriage also contained the DAUPIIINESS, the Duche,ses de Maar and Ortta:a.ris, and Mademoiselle On LEANS. Several! other carriages with their suites followed. . - '•,qll M • __ ~. His MAJESTY, on his arrival at the Barrier (Etoik, was received by die Munkcipiallty of Paris. A lalto of .

Thp.Municipal Carps *its heasled ty Comte de CiyA. num., Prefeet"of the DeparYntk of the Seine, and M. LAVAU, Prefect of Police. The Prefect of the Seine, on presenting the keys of the city, addressed his MA JESTY in terms of condolence for the death of Louts XVlll.and congratulation on his, own aceep ! ion. MAJESTY replied— " I return you the keys, because I could not place them in more faithful hands. Preserve them, Gentlemen, preserve then,. It is with profound sentiments of gritf and joy that I enter your walls in the midst of my good people—of joy, because I well know that I shall devote the last of my days to secure their happiness." The cries of Vive le Roi !" Vive M. k Daaphin !' e Vive la Falai& Royale!' a thousand times repeated, resounded from all parts, and the procession begun to move amidst the loudest acclamations, to which his MAJESTY fiequently replied with the most touching sensibility. The daf cleared up as the proce s sion advanced, and it was quite fair when the KING arrived at the Boulevards and the rue St. Denis, amidst the cries of Vive le Roy, the waving of handkerchiefs from the windows, and other demonstrations of joy. The KING having permitted that the Nuns devoted to the service of the sick, should, according to ancient usage, present their respects, fifty of them from the Hotel. Dien were presented to the KING, one of whom ad dressed his MAJESTY in suitable terms.—His MAJESTY replied— " I know with what zeal you and the Gentlemen appointed to the purpose, serve the poor. Continue, Mesdames, and you may rely on my favour and protection." The KING was received at the Metropolitan Church by the Archbishop of PARIS, at the head of the Clergy, and with the accustomed ceremonial. The Domine salvum fac Regent and the Te Deum were executed by a numerous body of musicians, accompanied by the voices of an immense number of people, who filled the Church. After the religious ceremony, the KING left Notre Dame, remounted his horse, and the procession pro ceeded to the Thuileries, where his MAJESTY arrived at four o'clock, amidst salvoes of at tillery. In the evening the public buildings, and several private houses, were illuminated. The King of SPAIN has ordered the Court to go into mourning, for three months, for the death of Lours XVIII. which is doublesthe period usually fixed in Spain for mourning for the Kings of France. It is stated from Madrid, on the authority of letters from the Ha vannah, that the Sabina had completely revictualled the Castle of San Juan d'Ulloa. The Moniteur contains an article from Semlin, dated the Bth instant, which states, that " The most extraor~ dinary news, respecting Constantinople, is circulated at Belgrade," and that, " according to the last letters from Bitoglia, it is no longer possible to doubt that DEB. , VISCU PAcHA has sustained a defeat in Thessaly. The Etoik of Wednesday contains an article tram Constantinople, dated August 25, stating that the Chief of the Janissaries had caused to be strangled two ofßcers of the Janissaries, who posted up a few days before, that a great fire would take place during the present moon. The guard seized two Janissaries at the moment they were going to fire some houses. The Janissaries were still discontented on the 22d and 23d. The Journal des Debats contains extracts from the Oriental Spectator, by which it appears that the Greek population of Samos, consisting principally of women,' old men, and children, had been obliged to fly to the mountains, and hide themselves in caves and fastnesses, to avoid the fury of the Turks and the ravages of the Turkish fleet. They had previously set fire to their houses, and carried into the interior whatever part of their property or provisions they were able to transport. The Greek Government bad decreed to send a flotilla to their aid. In the same paper we find an extract of a letter from Napoli di Romania, dated Aug. 1, in which it is stated that the Provisional Goverment of Greece has been recognized by the whole' Greek nation; that a hundred sail of ships had been decreed to encounter the fleet of the Pacha of Egypt; that the families of Hydra and Spezzia, apprehensive of a visit from the Turks had been transported to the Morea, as an asylum ; and that about 4,000 men were about to sail from con tinental Greece to assist the gallant and devoted defen ders of those islands in resisting the anticipated invasion. Accounts from Syra state, that an action had taken place at Aelos, and Thermopylae, between the Turks and the Greeks, and that the latter were victorious. It will be recollected by those who have paid attention to the Constitutional history of France,during the last twelve or eighteen months, that a whole arrondissement, that of Condom, had been left unrepresented in the Cham ber of Deputies, in consequence of the differences which had arisen between the President of the College and the Electors, or in other words, because it appeared evident that the latter would not elect the former.— Complaints were frequently made, in the course of the last Session, that the Charter was violated by this local suspension of the right of representation, and the jour- nals echoed far and wide the denunciations of the Tri bune. All,however, was unavailing. CHARLES X. how. ever, ascended the throne on the 16th inst. and on the 22d he issued an Ordonnance, which directs the Elec toral College of Condom to be assembled, and a Repre sentative to be immediately chosen. The following are extracts from the Etoik of Wed nesday • PARIS, SEPTEMBER 2s. To day, before MASS, the King gave an audience to the Duke of Dalmatia. M. Villelle transactecieesiness with the King.

Diario di Roma 07Triill of September, con tains an Ordonnance,,dated August 27, issued by his Holiness the POPE, on the method to be ebserved in the Ecclesiastical States, in order, it is said, to unite studies with piety. The substance of this Ordonnance is as follows :—The 'studies are to be directed by a Commission, consisting of several Cardinals, among whom are the Secretary of .State, the High Chamber- lain, the Vicar of Rome, and the Prefects del Indite, and del Brion Governo. There are to be two superior. Universities, one at Rome and the other at Bologna; and five Universities of the second rank, namely, at Perugia, Ferrara, Camerino, Macerata, and Fermo. The superior Universities to have a High Chancellor, the others a Chancellor. The High Chancellor of that at Rome is the High Chamberlain; and of that at Bologna,' the Archbishop of that city. The Chancellor of the- Univet shies of the second rank shall be the Archbishops or Bishops of the cities in which they are established. In each University shall be four college, for the studr of Theology, Law, Medicine, and Philosophy. Tlsel Bishops taking into consideration the population and revenues of the towns and villages in their respective dioceses, in concert with the • Magistrates, shall propose tp the Commission of Studies . how many ordinary schools they desire to establish in each place. They shall have the superinten,clance of them, which they, shall cause to .be exercised in. each commune by an. ecclesiastic of their choice. Various regulations . are added, respecting the duties of the Professors, of their , substitutes, and of the Director of the Museums; also , relative to the discipline of the Students, the duties of religion and piety, and the conferring of degrees. The notaries are also placed under the Commission of Studies, and must Le examined in the chief or se condary Universities. The schools of the regular order, and the episcopal seminaries, are not subject to the Commission. No academy of arts and sciences can be founded without the leave of the Commission, and those already existing must apply to it for confirmation. The Academy of Fine Arts and Archeology, at Rome, remains as before, subject to the Cardinal nigh Chamberlain.—How far. science may be advanced by these regulations seems very doubtful. The operations of the Carahineers against the ban ditti, continue to go on successfully. This forenoon we received a file of the Austrian Ob server to the 18th of September. Jit contains no intel ligence relative to Greece or Turkey. The following are extracts: STUTGARD;SEPTEMBER 20.

VIENNA, SEPTEMBER His Imperial Highness the Crown Prince artived here on Saturday, from the family estates in Upper Austria; but as the marriage of the Archduke Francis Charles is deferred till the middle of next month, it is not likely that we shall have the pleasure of seeiag their Imperial Majesties in the capital before the end of this month. . Prince Metternich went on the-14th to Weinzierl, to wait on the Emperor, and will be here again the day after to-morrow. The East India CETl:7tave given notice to the Stock Exchange, that the interest on their Bonds will be reduced from si per cent. to 3 per cent. after the sth of April, 1825 ; in consequence of which, India Bonds, which were on Saturday at 85, and this morning opened at 80, fell to 75. WINDSOR, SEPTEMBER 29.—This forenoon his MA- Jassy, accompanied by the Marquis CONVIGHAY, left the Royal" Lodge for his accustomed airing in the Great Park. The Km was attended by his usual outriders. Saddled irrses followed the phaeton, that his MAJesTY might enjoy the exerciseof ridingon horse back, which the Kum has occasionally done during the pot week. • Mr. CANNING left Gloucester Lodge this morning for Windsor, in order to pay his respects to his Msasstr, on his re,turn from Irelartd. Mr. MATES, a King's Messenger, left the Foreign Office on Monday night for Walmer Castle. the seat of the Earl of laysaroot., and from thence proceeded to Brussels, with dispatches for Lord GILIINVILLt. The French Papers seem to be astonished that though the Theatres were closed for eleven days, the Parisians did not crowd to them on their re-opening. They were but thinly attended. A view of the interior of Rossiya Abbey is now exhi biting in the Diorama at Paris. It is painted by Dramatis. It was intended by the Canning Club of Liverpool, ter have given a public dinner to the Right Hon. Gentleman from whom the Club derives its name, on his return home through that prosperous town, towards whic h it is known the Right Hon. Gen. tkman entertains the kindliest feelings. The necessity of his im mediate presence in London has frustrated the intention otitis Li verpool friends.

A Special General Court of Proprietors of East India Stock was held yesterday at the Company's House, in Leadenhall,street. On the motion of the Chairman (W. ASTELL, Esq.), 'the Court confirmed, the Resolution, to which the Pro prietors came, on the 21st instanr, approving of the Re solution of the Court of Directors, granting to Mrs., Franeklyn, formerly the widow of the late Major-6e , neral Stevenson, the sum of NO/. per annum. • The CMAIRMAN also moved, that the Court corifisrrt Ithe Resolution of the last General Com t, approving of ;the appointment of Mr. R. M. Leeds, as Purveyor and Steward to the Company's Military 'Establishment At Addiscombe, which was agreed to unanimously. The CHAIRMAN then moved the confirmation of the Resolution of the last General court, approving of the Resolution of the Court of Directors, granting to Mr. James Marjoribanks the sum of 69,000 rupees. GeneraITHORNTON opposed theßesolution,and moved as an Amendment, That this Court do now adjourn. Mr. Lowell)Es contended, that, as this grant would not take a shilling out of the pockets of the Company, it ought to be agreed to. The Honourable Gentleman took occasion, in the course of his speech, to animadvert, .with considerable asperity, on certain misrepresenta tions of a speech delivered by him at the last C, urt, which had rippeared in one of the Ministerial Journals. Mr. BUCKINGHAM opposed the grant, on the ground that Mr. Marjoribanks had not been compelled to mule to this country, and therefore was not entitled to the allowance now called for. Mr. Tuceatt was anxious to know whether the opi nion of the Company's Law Officers had been taken on this case? If it had, he wished to hear it; if not, he wished it to be called for. He doubted very much whether they were justified in leaving out of their view the Act of the 33d of the late King, by taking advantage of a --, clause in the 53d of that Monarch. The CHAIRMAN • defended the grant, which he !untended was strictly legal and proper. Mr. Ramses supported the motion. There was, be argued, a moral compulsion sufficient to justify Mr. Marjoribanks in coming to this country. Sir Jolts Sawsub contended at considerable length against the grant, for which, he observed, no sufficient reason bad been assigned. Mr. Weenum said, that all he bad heard that day had only con firmed the opinion which he expressed at the last Court of the pro priety of the grant. , • Mr. Hem opposed the grant, and Mr. Tama supported It. The Camellias then put the question on the amendment, which was negatived, and the original motion was cashed by a large majo rity.—The Court then Adjourned. The following article, which we extract from The 'New York ifercenigile Akiertiser of the 27th ult. will be news to the inhabitants of Plymouth : Private letters received yesterday front Quebec state, that as arrival at that port from England, brings in telligence to the 16,11 ult. ♦ destructive fire had broken out at Plymouth, by which forty sail of shipping were burnt." DEVONPORT, SEPT. 25.—During the last fortnight, great commiseration has been excited here, in conse quence of the following melancholy circurnitances : Several men belonging to the Dock-yard, who had been slightly bruised, or had accidentally cut themselves in the progress of their work, have become alarmingly 111, mortification has ensued, and seven shipwrights and tw•o sawyers have died. These effects are by some rr e dical men attributed to atphosmerical inllueoce. To ascertain the probable cause, Dr. Bell, the Surgeo:t, on Monday morning last, opened the body of Gregory Nicholls, a shipwright, who had died on the preceding day, and in the course of the dissection happened to scratch one of his fingers. .This passed unnoticed at the time, but in the afternoon Dr. 1341 became alarmed at perceiving it, thinking he might have imbibed some of the morbid matter. Shot tly afterwards a shivering fat !came on, and lle was. obliged to be put to bed and - bled. The best medical aid was administered, and the most rigid attention paid to his case ; but in spiie of all , the symptoms daily became worse, and yesterday even ,ing he yielded up his spirit to GOD who gave it. According to Lloyd's List upwards of 400 vessels, from foreign parts, arrived in the port of London be tween the 200 and 26th inst.
