This is not • a conduct becoming impartial men, or individuals jealous of the privileges which belong to every Englishman. We mean nothing disrespectful to the Committee, for we are willing to give them credit for the purest motives and the most upright intentions ; but no purity of intention can make that right which if in itself directly opposed by the dictates of justice: star can we believe that they would, acting dispas s ionately,' and intirely independent of the secret and inimical influence which originated the whole business, have ided the dismissal of an officer to whose assiduous labours the Company owes its present high state of prosperity—have ever recommended an act of injustice—for injustice it is and of the most flagrant kind to condemn a man unheard. Let us not be misunderstood. We have no weans of forming our opinion but from what we learnt at the public meeting. It is possible that the Commit• tee did not recommend this measure without first in stituting a proper enquiry. If they did, their pro ceedings and the evidence on both sides must be on record, and of course can be adduced: Nothing of the kind, however, was stated at the meeting—aid with out this evidence before them, the meeting itself acted unjustly in approving that part of the Report. We know nothing of Mr. BIONOLD. We were never in his company till we saw him in the public room yesterday. But having demanded to know who are his accusers? what the crimes charged ? and what the evidence ? we cannot avoid saying that his demand was reasonable. If he has_ asked fat what the Committee In.ve only kept back out of deli cacy, we must say that, after his demand, no delicacy is necessary on their part. Let it come out—let us have the evidence, and if that evidence shall be found to condemn Mr. BIGNOLD, we shall join in the ver dict of guilty. But never will we join in countenanc ing general slander unsupported by public evidence. Tht Paris Papers of Wednesday arrived this morn ing.—The Austrian Ambassador had a special audi- 1 ence of the limo on Tuesday, when he delivered to his Majesty a letter from the Emperor FRANeIS. According to recent advices from Constantinople, it appears that all the Foreign Ministers had joined in presenting to the Dtvari a Memorial relative to the persecutions which the Catholics have suffered at Aleppo. The Minister of England in particular is said to have displayed the most laudable zeal on the occasion. French 5 per cents. Tnesday, 75 fr. 10 C. Barbadoes Papers• have been received to the 25th of July. They contain a dispatch from the 'Spanish 'General Moeda.° totord Commitment, annohbeing the successful results of his spring campaign against the Patriots. This contrivance of the Don to make the Governor of a British Colony a sort of trumpeter to the Royalists, mightily gratifies the Editor of a con rternPorary Journal, who observes, that " if it were re gularly done, it would enable the friends of the Royal Cause in Europe to obtain speedier and more authentic information as to its progress." This first attempt, however, does not augur favourably for the rapidity of the new mode of conveying intelligence to the friends of the Royal Cause in Europe; the fact being, that the details of Moatta.o's operations were fully known yin London previous to the date of the publication of his dispatch in Barbadoes. So much for the speedier information to be obtained through this channel.— ' As to the more authentic information, our Readers may ea,ily judge from the circumstance, that the Editor alluded to believes that BOLIVAR was posi tively " killed off," because a Spanish dispatch of the 25th of May says so, notwithstanding the receipt of a score of letters from Angustura, Trinidad, and St. Thomas's, one of which we inverted yesterday of as late a date as the 20th of July, all of which concur lin the fact, that BOLIVAR was hale and well, and letting ;" with the additional intelligence, that liatcrat had 1 1 brought him reinforcements and supplies, which would speedily enable him to resume the offensive in person ; and that Mos.ALas had actually been driven back beyond CaLibozo, by one of his subordinate Officers. From these Papers it appears, that Barbadoes con tinued free from the fever. Tke Governor had issued a Proclamation against the increasing prevalence of gaming throughout Bridge Town and its suburbs. The EsK had arrived from Jamaica with 500,000 dollars, for the pay of the troops in Barbadoes, and sailed again for the former island. The Duke of KENT resides in Brussels till the !d of October, when he departs for Ammersbach, on the Rhine, to reside on the estates of the Duchess. The Grand Duke Micit.tat. paid his first visit, since his return to the metropolis, to the name ItzoENT, at Carbon-house, yesterday afternoon.

Their Royal Highnesses also received visits from the Countess of CARDIGAN, the Countess of HARCOURT and Lady RANKS.

It was reported this afternoon, that in consequence of the large reward offered (200 gui•.aas) the Police had obtained information of the persons who insti gated the late attack on Messrs.

On in- quiry, however, I cannot learn that there is any truth in this statement—further than that several ether arrests have taken place of persons connected with the recent disturbances.

It is strongly suspected that this ilteft has been committed by no stranger to the place, and what makes it distressing is, that Mrs. Kendall, is considerably. n advanced in years, and it was the whole of the property that she was possessed of. A Printer of Ghent, the Sieur BUSCIIER, has been sentenud to a month's imprisonment for an article inserted in the Journal des Deux Flandre against the Duke of WELLINGTON.
