THE FUNDS. ._... was nothings listed in every pamphlet,' but to fol low, with regard to the natural and legal heir of the crown, the same course as was taken in England with regard to the Duke of York, brother to Charles 11. The most ignorant emissaries of the conspiracy pre pared against a Prince the object of the love and ve neration of France, spoke like the most learned, of the famous bills of limitation and exclusion, after confining themselves in the beginning to equivocal insinuations. The well-known authors of the infa mous private correspondence received from their master orders to attack, directly and personally, the august individual whose inheritance had already been transferred to a foreign race by anticipation. Part of these execrable scheme l were exposed, even at that time, in a work published GI , an excellent Royalist, under the title of 66 England in 1688, and France in 1820." A compilation, entitled " The Thousand and One Calumnies," which is but a translation, with com ments, of the private correspondence published during so long a period in the English papers, completed the exposition of this iniquitous mystery. Rut was it accomplished? Of this then, happily, there is still much reason to doubt. If all the enemies of legitimacy were at their post, if power was exclusively in their hands, it is not leis certain that all the defenders of the throne held themselves ready again to fight in that sacred cause which had covered La Vendee with imperishable glory. A particular passage contained in a letter which we have received, enables us to judge of the disposition which prevailed. One of those heroes of fidelity, to whom Louis XVIII. before he died, had just decreed arms of honour, was sent for, in 1819, by the Under Prefect of his district. " What do I hear, Sir ?" said be, to the noble Vendean. 66 They tell me that you have kept arms by you. Against whom do you conspire?" " I have never conspired," replied the loyal knight, " the word is unknown to me ; but all my life I have served my GOD and my King. If it shall be necessary to fight for them again, I am quite ready. This I tell you, and you may report it." But if we recal those days of grief and shame, it is but to enjoy the higher satisfaction in repeating with the English miter whom we quoted yesterday, " Who now hears of conspiracies ? All ideas of subverting the throne are abandoned. The population is contented with the Government, and the army is devoted to its Prince. Never, perhaps, was so peat an alteration in the affairs of a nation effected in so short a time. Three years have sufficed to restore to order and tranquillity a nation distracted by this ty years of anarchy and con- fusion. This circumstance alone speaks for the talents of the Ministry which has produced such important and unlooked-for results." EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM LEGHORX, DATED SEPT. 8. " Yesterday a vessel arrived here in twenty-tour days from Constantinople, and in nineteen from the Darda nelles, the Captain of which deposed at the Office of .14,- a lrh. that the Tut kish fleet had been beaten by that of the Greeks, the very moment it was about leaving Mitylene for Samos. The Greeks with their tire-ships burned three Turkish frigates and took two brigs of war, and the rest of the Turkish fleet was separated and dis persed in the environs of Mitylene, and many transports had expericiced considerable damage. The troops which were on board had perished. 'the same Captain said that the plague made considerable ravages at Con stantinople. Another vessel, which came from Scio, and which left that place on the 19th August, brought no news, on account of the extraordinary winds, which had enabler) them to cross the Archipelago in two days."

It contains numerous Addresses from tribu nals and public bodies to the KING, and an account a the funeral of his late MAJESTY, which took place with great solemnity on Thursday. At an early hour in the morning the battalions of the National Guard, King's Household, and Garrison of Paris, destined to take part in the procession, took their station in the Place du Carrousel in the order assigned to each. At ten o'clock, the carriages of the KING were drawn up in the same place; they were filled by persons selected for the honour. The Prefect of the Seine, the Prefect of Police, and the Municipality of Paris, repaired to the Tuileries in the morning, and afterwards joined in the procession. When the body of the late King was removed from the hall where it was plaied to the funeral car, the Marquis de Bane, Grand Master of the Ceremonies, took the crown, and the Marquis de ROCREMORK the sceptre. At eleven o'clock, the great bell of Notre Dame, and the bells of the other Churches, with a discharge of the cannon of the Invalids, announced that the procession bad began to move. It consisted of a great body of the military; deputations from the public schools; four; hundred poor men, each carrying a lighted torch ; car riages, with the Marshals and Great Officers of State, the carriages of the Dauphin, and the Dukes of Orleans and Bourbon, and the carriage in which the Grand Al moner carried the heart of his }ate Majesty. There were fourteen • mourning -coaches, drawn by eight horses, richly caparisoned. The DAUPHIN, and the Dukes of ORLEANS and Bovaßow, all sat in one carriage, which preceded the funeral car. The car was decorated with magnificence; the insignia of Royalty were placed on the coffin, on which there was also the Royal Mantle, and the Orders of St. Esprit, St. Louis, the Legion of Honour, St. Lazarus, and the Gol den Fleece. The procession arrived at the church of St. Denis at half past two o'clock, the Grand Almoner delivered 4 discourse to which the Abbe de GRANDCHAMP replied. The DAUPHIN entered the church with the Dike of ORLEANS on his right, and the Duke of Bouttoos on his left ; they were followed by the persons forming the procession, The church was splendidly decorated. The Duc de BEGA (Prince MIGUEL of PORTUGAL) assisted at the funeral ceremony. After the service had been performed and the body deposited ip the Char el of St. Louis, the Princes were reconducted to their car. riage by the Grand Master of the Ceremonies. The mournful ceremony terminated at a quarter before four o'clock. The following are extracts from the Etoile of yesterday : PARIS, SEPTEMBER 25. His Excellency Count Ville'e transacted business with the King. Next Monday, his Majesty Charles X. will make his entry on horseback into the capital. The King will set off from Saint Cloud, and come by the way of the Bois de Boulogne and the Gate of Nlaillot, to the Bar rier of the Star. His Majesty will be accompanied by the Dauphin, at his side, and will be followed by the Princes of the Blood, the Grand Officers, the National and Royal Guards, and the Regiments of the Gartison of Paris will defile on the road, between Saint Cloud and Paris. The King will wear the uniform of a Co lonel of Car bineers. It is thought that, on the 30th instant, the King will review the troops in the Champ de Mars. The influx of strangers coming to Paris for the pur pose of seeing the late King lie in state, was more con siderable on Wednesday than on any preceding day; I ndependent of upwards of 1200 carriages, which en tered by the Arch of Triumph, more than 20,000 tickets which had been issued, brought an immense crowd as early as two o'clock. Every facility was granted to those who wished to see the Royal coffin. Up to six o'clock the doors were open to the public, and the number of persons admitted during the day amounted to 10,000. A great portion of the strangers rem arced in Pails to witness the funeral, and the streets were consequently much crowded. The srectators admitted hourly to the Chateau of the Thuilleries amounted to about 5,000, consequently; fiom ten in the morning to six in the evening, 40,000 found admission. A deputation from the Notaries of Paris were autho rized to throw holy water on the corse of his late Majesty. The following article appeared in the Echo du Midi: —" We are assured that a me7isme for regulating in demnity to be granted to the Migrants will be submit ted to Government in the course of the present month. It is said that the confiscations in the department of the Haute Garonne amounted annually, in 1790, to 60+,157 francs, and the price produced by sale was 9,276,013 f. Rentes at half--past three o'clock, 101 f. 45c. At four o'clock the Rentes were 1011. 55c. in great demand. SEMLIN, SEPTEMBER 8. Strange news is reported at Belgrade, which comes direct from Constantinople, stating, that the Patriarch (Greek) and all his Synod, had been strangled ; and that the Sultan had been stopped in the streets by his Janissaries, and forced back into the Seraglio. It is very confidently reported in the City, that the fleet of the Capital' Pacha has been comp'etely de feated by the Greeks. By the arrival of the Lion, from Carthagena, in fifty five days, we have some interesting intelligence from South America. The Lion brings papers to the 19th of July, which confirm the news of OLANETA going over to BOLIVAR. There ate also two dispatches in them from BOLIVAR, to the President of the Colombian Government. Oae dated the 12th May, and the other the middle of that month, from Huancho, wherein he expresses a hoioe that he will be able to extirpate the Royalists in the.courie of the month. The following is an extract from a letter from Car thagena, dated August 1 :—Bolivar is jat the head of 14,000 well appointed men, and is only waiting the ar rival of some troops from this and other neighbouring ports; about 4,000 will sail from this place on the 4th, under the command of General Valereo. We have received Brussels Papers to the 26th inst. They contain proofs that the King of the NETHERLANDS has adopted those wise and liberal principles of trade on which our Government has for some time acted, and of the salutary operation of which it has given a clear and convincing instance to the world. Already had some of the duties on the importation of goods been abolished in the Flemish harbours ; this is now extended to the Dutch, and the duty levied on the arrival of ships at Amsterdam for the benefit of the School of Naviga tion, is to cease on the Ist of January, 1825. It is also known that a Commercial Treaty is in progress between the Netherlands and France, and it had been announced that M. VANDERFOSSE, Governor of the Province of Hainault, had repaired to Paris for the purpose of bring ing the negociation to a close. This is not exactly tht , . - ... case, though the result h likely to prove the same. —The person by whom the treaty is at this moment negotiating (and that such a treaty is preparing is the important point) is Baron FAGEL, the Dutch Ambassa dor at the French Court. M. VANDERFOSSE has only been sent to assist him with his experience in commer. cial and local matters, as he possesses a perfect know ledge of the two southern frontier provinces, having in former times governed the one, and now governing the other, and is besides well acquainted with the inte. rests of all parts of the kingdom. It was not ex pected that the conferences would last long, as it was thought that France would b^ eager to obtain the advantages of a free trade in a quarter where her's had been deeply injured by the retaliatory measures which her own prohibitions had unintentionally been the means of creating. It appears that mercantile transactions are increasing in briskness and magnitude on the Conti nent. Letters from Frankfort on the Main state that silks, wool, and leather have been in demand at high prices, and that wool has been sold at an advance of 15 to 20 per cent. THE KING. WINDSOR, SEPTEMBER 26.—1 t is with the greatest pleasure we announce the increased enjoyment of health which his MAJESTY has, and continues to expe rience during his residence in Windsor Great Park. On Friday afternoon, his MAJESTY left the Royal Lodge much later than usual on horseback, and rode across the Park to Crar.burne Lodge, where the KING made a short stay, and returned to Sandpit Gate to the Royal Lodge, where he dined. Yesterday his MAJESTY again took an airing on horseback, through the Plan-' tations to Virginia Water, and returned to the Royal Lodge about six o'clock. The Earl and Countess BATHURST arrived here yes terday evening, on a visit to the KING. This morning his MAJESTY, accompanied by the Marquis COXYNGIIAM, and the remainder of his MA JESTY'S Suite, left the Royal Lodge for his private Chapel, where Divine Service was performed by the Rev. Mr. Susmert. The KING returned to the Royal Lodge at one o'clock. This afternoon, the KING, with his usual attendants, took an airing in his pony phaeton, in the Great Park. This morning, her Royal Highness the Princess AU GUSTA, - attended by Miss VYSE and Lady MARY TAYLOR, heard Divine Service performed by the Rev. GROSSETT, at the Parish Chinch. • This morning, the Grenadier Guards marched from their Bart racks, in Sbeer-oreet, to the ltirracka of the a.d Life Guards, a- Spittal, where Divine Service was performed to both Regiments. The weather to-day has been remarkably fine, but the air being cold, the company on the Terrace was more select than numerous, and were principally strangers. At two o'clock, both the bandy were stationed on the North side, where they played alternate's some of their finest pieces until four. Mr. DRAFFEN, a King's Messenger, was sent off on Saturday night from the Colonial-office, Downing-street, with dis patches for Ancona. Friday last, Lord Viteount PALMERSTON arrived at, his seat, at Broadlands, for the season : his Lordship is just returned from Ireland. The Duke of WELLINGToN hits appointed Lieute nant-Colonel KELLY, C. B. to the situation of Inspector-General of Barrgits in Ireland. The Eat' O'NEIL has arrived from Dublin unex pectedly, and notwithstanding the cessation of all panics and pur suits, is enveloped in a sea of business, from noon till night. The Duke of MEININGEN arrived in town on Satur day morning from Bushy. His Serene Highness left at four o'clock, on his return to Bushy to dinner. JOHN LESLIE FOSTER, Esq. M.P. one of the Commis sisners of Enquiry on the subject of Bduaation in Irclaud, is arrived in Tralee. Yesterday morning. the Right Rev. CHRISTOPHER, the Lord Bishop of Jamaica, preached the annual Sermon for the benefit of the " Greenwich National School of Education and In dustry for Girls," to a numerous congregation, at the parish Church of Greenwich, when a liberal suns was collected in aid of the funds of the institution. Wednesday, the BLONDE, 4 1 6, Capt. Lord BYRON, ar rived at Portsmouth from Chatham, wiih the remains of the late King and Queen of the Sandwich Islands on board. The suite of their late Majrsties have arrived, and are engaged in viewing the public works and establishments. The BLONDE will be ready to sail to-morrow for Rio and the Sandwich Islands. The &mos returns home, after performing these special services. Be sides the Sandwich Islands natives, there are embarked in her, Mt. M'Care, botanist, from the ilorticulrural Society of London; Mr. Bccixaar, mineralogist and geologist; Lieutenant.hlstimr, R.N. surveyor, with two assistant-surveyors. A printing press has also been shipped, which is to be left on the islands. One of the natives constantly stays on hoard the ship, as a sentinel over the bodies of their Sandwich Majesties. The Ex-Emperor iTURBIDE, in passing through Taunton, a few months ago, on his route to Plymouth, where he embarked, entrusted two of his female children to the Catholic establishment, adjoining Taunton, to be educated its that seminary. Sir Iticiiituo PHILLIPS, according to the Brighton Papers, has retired to Brighton, after a long career of unexampled industry and enterprise, in which he has contributed se largely to every department of useful and elegant Literature. The completion of nearly sixty voiumes of the Monthly Magazine, and of innume rable other works under his own direction, will long testify his skill as an Editor, while the youth and schools of the country, will for many generations have to acknowledge the fertility and utility of his invention. Wednesday, a fine s!iip, Named the Water Lily, 300 tons burthen, was launched from the yard of Messrs. Hoass and HILLYER, at liedbridae. GREENOCK, SEPT. 22.—Saturday, the Right Hon. Tnouwv WALLACII, and the other Commissioners of Revenue In quiry, arrived here from Glasgow, after stopping some time at Port-Glasgow. During the afternoon they visited the Custom house, and went round the different quays; and expressed them selves highly pleased with the appearance of the port, and the facilities which it seemed to afford to commerce of every kind. They left the town next day, a morc protracted stay being consi dered unnecessary, from the circumstance of their having met and con erred with a deputation from the trade of this place, on Thurs day last, at Glasgow. Mr. BIDDER, the Devonshire youth, who was so much admired for kis original powers of calculation, and who has been since educated at Edinburgh, is appointed to a situation in the Ord nance Department, under Major COLBY, and is to accompany him to Ireland, on the trigonometrical survey of that kingdom. M. L. NUELt.ENS, of Brussels, has lately invented metallic and elastic mattresses. Several of the customers of the late firm in Berners street, were in the habit of depositing their plate-chests there; and, upon applying for them to the provisional assignee un,-er the bankruptcy, he readily gave his as sent to their delivery ; but which was, however, subse quently refu-ed by the officers of the Sheriff, who are in possession under extents from the Crown.

ALBION CII.4PEL.-3111. FLETCHER. Yesterday the subscribers to the Albion Presbyterian Chapel, in Moorfields, having expected a visit from cer tain messengers of the Synod, with ►espect to the avowed determination of Mr. Fletcher to preach at the Albion Chapel, notwithstanding his suspension from the sacred office, a vast crowd of the frequenter s of that place of worship assembled. On Monday last, Mr. Fletcher re ceived official intelligence from Scotland, that he was suspended from the performance of the duties of the Presbyter ian Church, in consequence of what took place on the occasion of his acquaintance with Miss Dick, on whose part an action was brought against him ;Or a breach of promise of marriage. The authorities in London received at the same time directions to take possession of the pulpit and appoint to fill it some worthy member of the Kirk, until the final arrange ment should be made by the Synod. Mr. Fletcher has dared to dispute the power of the Synod, and conceives it to be a mockery of religion to pursue its Ministers to destruction, without an undeni able testimony of moral guilt, and therefore resolved, with the approbation of the supporters of the chapel, to take no notice of the formal condemnation. With this feeling he went, accompanied by several of the subscribers, to the chapel, in order to resist any attempt to dispossess them. Immediately before the hour for the commencement of service arrived, some of the El ders of Miles's-lane Meeting-house knocked at the vestry door, and demanded that the pulpit should be resigned to them, producing at the same time the written authority of the Synod. Mr. Fletcher's friends said they certainly would not acknowledge the power of that body, in their case ; as they had built the chapel for their own accommodation, and were in the habit of filling the pulpit with Ministers whose moral conduct and abilities weulril stand the test of public examina tion, and who were responsible to none but those who appointed them. The chapel was crowded to excess during the per formance of the service. Mr. Fletcher; upon going into the pulpit, said he observed that many strangers had assembled —some, perhaps, from mere curiosity, to wit ness the conduct of a Minister of the Gospel under such peculiar circumstances, and others from the interest so naturally arising out of the fact of the suspension; but the question was, whether he was to bow to human au thority, dictating what was against his conscience, or to attend to the voice of GOD, which enjoined him an ad herence to the doctrines he had been accustomed to preach, and a persistency in promulgating them ? He had decided for the latter; and, in obedience to the will of HEAVEN, would continue.to address those around him. Tuesday, a meeting of the Church Missionary Society was held at the Saloon, in Patrick-street, Cork ; the Dean of Cork in the Chair. The Cork Constitution states, that a Mr. Dwyer, Editor of the Cork Mercantile Chronicle, attempted to address the meeting, but was prevented, on the ground of his not being a Member of the So ciety; be insisted, however, on his right to speak—but the Chairman persisted in declining to hear him. A scene of outrageous noise, violence, and anarchy en sued, according to the Co'nstitution, which was only terminated by the appearance of the Sheriffs and a posse of Constables, who dispersed the crowd. The Cork Chronicle, however, denies this, and states, that the mob went home quietly on the termination of the meeting, and that oae rf the Sheriffs was not present. The Co potation of London have, with a commend able view to the public convenience, taken many oppor tunities of widening different parts of the City. Much, however, in this respect, remains to be done, and upon a larger scale, probably, than their funds will admit of. S. w a~ . •
