The intelligence reached us this forenoon, by the lowing Telegraphic Dispatch : CALMS, SEPTEMBER 16. HALF-PAST FIVE O'CLOCK IN Sur AFTERNOON. We have just received the following Telegraphic Dispatch, announcing the KING'S Death 7hc LING died this morning at Four o'clock. King CIIARLE% X. immediately set out for St. Cloud, with the Dauphin, the DAuphiness, and the Duchess de BERRI. " The people have shewn, during the KING'S illness, the most affecting sorrow. Couriers are setting out at this moment in all directions with the news." (Signed at Paris, &c. &e.) It will be seen, by the Bulletins which we subjoin,, that the KING had lingered fur some days in a state of great sull'ering and debility ; so much so, indeed, that the prayers for his recovery were superseded by those for the dying, and the recommendation of the soul. The Archbishop of PAnts had previously issued a man dament, ordering the prayers of Quarante Meares and the Pro liege nostro ilfinno, in which he rather inaptly invites the Ferrell to the hope that Coo may prolong his days twenty-four years more, as he did those of HE-' ZEKIAH, upon the pagers of the people. Lours was never crowned, owing to the refusal of rope Pius VII. to perform 'hit ceremony dorinz the life-time of BONAPARTE ; and on the death of that entrant dinary individual die health of the KING of FIiANCS: was not such as to enable him to go tin oulll the ceremony. None or these obstacles interpose to the coronation of his succes sot. CHARLES X. and it is probable that next summer France may witness this splendid ceremony. Louis XVIII. as we have already said, is succeeded by his brother, CHARLES PHILIPPE Count d'Artois, who is said to be popular with the Trench, and particu larly with the Army. His MAJESTY CHARLES X. is nearly 67 years of age. The following are the other Members of the House of Bourbon, of the male sex, in the order of their succession to the French Throne. i. Louis ANTOJNE, Duc d'Angouleme (now Dauphin), born August 6, 1775. 9. HENRY, Duc de llourdeaux, son of the Duc de BISILRI, born Sept. £9, 1820. 3. Louts Pnwerr, Due d'Orlsrans, born Oct. 6, 1773, who mar. tied blaFia Amelia, daughter of the King of Sims-, by whom he bas male issue— 4. FitBDINAND, Duc de Chartres, born Sept. 3, 1910. 5. Louts CIIARLIS, Due de Nemoens, born Oct. 2.5, 1814. 6. FaAMCIS FERDINAND, Due de Joioville, born Aug. 14,1818. 7. Osamu, FERDINAND, Duc de Penthievre, born Jan. 1, 1820; and 8. Maar Eumenz, Due dc Aumale, born June 16, 1822. Of that illustrious branch of the BowsßaNs, the House of CONDE, there is but one individual remaining, LOWS HENRY JOSEPH, Duc de Bourbon, bcirn April 13, 1756, who is the ninth in the succession to the French Crown. Of this Prince, who was the father of the Duc d'ErionEtw, an anecdote is related, which skews a trait of singular delicacy. On the death of his father, the Prince of CONDE, the title fell on the Duc de BounuoN, but as he has no family, he refused to as sume it, saying, " I am not worthy to be the last of the CONDEs." As the death of Levis XVIII. has been so recent, the only intelligence that could reach us of that event, is the telegraphic dispatch; we subjoin the Bulletins pre viously issued, which shew the progress of his disorder : PARIS, Sm. 13. CHAMBER OF THE KING. FIFTH BULLETIN OF THE KING'S ILLNESS. " Seven o'Clock in the Evening. " The fever, which had subsided for a few hours in the morning, returned with increased violence towards three in the afternoon.— Greater depression and prostration of vital force is observable. (Signed) " PORTAL, " DUPUrrREN " ALIBERT, " TIIEVENOT. " DISTEL, " The First Gentleman of the King's Chamber, " Count de DAM AS." SIXTH BULLETIN OF THE KING'S ILLNESS. " Nine o'clock in the evening. " The fever is more violent. Much agit a tion, heat, and thirst, are experienced. The King preserves his understanding, and ex periences some pain in the legs." (Signed as before). SEVENTH BULLETIN OF THE KING'S. ILLNESS. September 14, eight o'clock in the morning. " The King has been daring the night in a state of great depress s hsti(tfoissernent); the fever is still very strong ; the debility goes on Increasing." (Signed as before). fo l f EIGHTH BULLETIN OF TfIR KNaIfILLNEia " Twno'clock in'thi afternoon. u His Majesty experienced a stronger fainting.en at one o'clock; the.hreathing is beceme,morp Ontol and interrupted; the pulse is extremely weak and intermittent. " The prayers for the Dying, and the Recommendation of the Soul, have been recited in the chamber of the King, in the presence of his family. His Majesty heard them with perfect consciousness." (Signed as before). At two o'clock the King was plunged in so profound a lethargy, that the most intense anxiety was spread throughout the Palace and the crowd assembled in the Place du Carousel ; but at half past three o'clock the King recovered from his lethargy, and was perfectly sensible. • -.•• PARIS, SEPTEMBER 14. Every moment diminishes the hopes which we might have entertained that the health of our beloved Mo narch would improve. His strength diminishes, but his firmness is still the same. The prayers of religion, the wishes of the immense multitude of subjects assem bled round the Royal residence, cannot suspend the progress of disease, nor check its most visible effects. If, as everything induces us to believe, the King, on his bed of sickness, where all his mental faculties are alive, has known the pledges of love which burst forth in every part, he will have experienced from them the strongest consolation which he can receive, and his suf ferings will have been softened by them. The French have displayed all their character in this great conjuncture. All the. conversations among per sons whom this event has !nought together are inspired by the same sentiment. Eves y one recalls with pleasure the claims of this Prince to the respect and gratitude of his people. But if the present is for us a subject of grief, the future offers at least its consolations. The august race of the sons of St. Louis, continued by a miracle, will never more peiidi ; and PROVIDENCE, which has signalised in so striking a way its protection of France, offers the most precious pledge of this pro tection, in giving to its lova three generations of Kings. In France the King does not die. His Majesty, who yesterday had given his blessing to his family in the morning, demanded to see the Chil dren of France. They arrived at St. Cloud at three o'clock, and were conducted shortly afterwards to the apartment of the King, their great uncle. 'They left at five o'clock, and as they quitted the Tuileries to remit to St. Cloud, the crowd threw themselves in their pas_ sage, shouting repeatedly Vive le Roi 1 . Vivent lea Bourbons ! Although the King the day before yesterday presented himself before the Tribunal of Penitence, his Majeity' confessed again yesterday. We are assured that. at the moment when the Grand Almoner arrived, the King s sid to Monsieur, " My brother, you have affairs which claim your presence—l also have duties to futfil;"— e..ords s os thy of a son of St. Louis, and which remind us of what limy IV. said to his confessor, during the ceremony of the Queen's coronation—" I am tbinkink of the last judgment, and of the account which we must render to GOD." PRIVATE LETTER. " Paais, TUESDAY EVENING, lIMIX•PAST FOUR O'CLOCIC• " During this day the death of the King has been reported at least twenty times ; but up to my last inquiry at the 'Tuileries, from which 1 have just re turned, he was still living, and, it is said, in perfect session of his mental faculties, although his death was expected every moment. Paris is perfectly tranquil, and is likely to remain so, as the public are taught to expect that the measures of the new King will be pre cisely the same as those of his brother, with certain li beral concessions calculated to give eclat to the reign. As far as operations in public securities give one an opportunity of judging, every thing looks well.— At Tortoni's Coffee-house, the last • quoted price of the I:eines was 99f. 25c. but a general idea is enter tained that.at the opening of the Exchange they will be much higher, as it is understood that the Mini-ter of Finance has a vast sum en caisse, from the Sinking Fund, and the remittances from the Provinces, which will be employed in purchasing limes. I send this ex press thus early, as the death of the King may take place in a few minutes, and the expresses will then probably be stopped." Dutch Pipers to the 15th instant reached us this fore noon. The following are extracts : F! AGUE, SEPTEMBER 12. The exact time when the offices of the Ministers and the Council of State will be transferred to Brussels is not yet determined, and it seems in general that it will be litter this year than usual, and probably in the troLth of October, as the important affairs in which they ate ,engaged, will not allow of any interruption at present. The office of the Commercial Association has already commenced its operations, and is fixed for the present in an edifice adjoining the Royal Palace, which was the residence of the late Counsellor of State, De Mist. The workmen are actively engaged in the palace building for Prince Frederick of the Netherlands, which is now-rapidly advancing. PETERSBUItGIT, AUGUST 15. The Emperor, in his tour to the south-east provinces of his empire, will visit a part of his Asiatic dominions, crossing the Ural Mountains, which separate Europe and Asia. The Itinerary of his Majesty has been pub- lished, stating the several towns through which be will pass, the day of his arrival, and that of his departure. It appears from this statement, that the whole tour will amount to 6,354. versts (4,236 English miles), and that he will he back at Zarskoje-Selo on the sth November. His Majesty left St. Petersburgh on the 28th August. AMSTERDAM, SEPT. it. The following statement shews the increasing popu lation in this city, from Ist January, 1824, to this day: Births, - - . . 5,584 Deatha - - - 4,012 Excess of Births in eight months ten days, - 1,572 All dOtilit as to the late of Irvaiiika is at an odd, as' the fown frigate has a'riived, with intelligence from Mexico, up to the 51st Of Julf, which confirms lcount of the execution of this rash adventurec. He was shot on the 19th of July, ptirsuant to a Decree of Con gress, passed when it was first known that he was about to attempt to regain his authority as Emperor. As snow as the news reached Mexico great rejoicings took place, and the city was illuminated. The capital was perfectly tranquil. This intelligence is contained in a Mexican newspaper that has been received by a mer cantile house in the City. Intelligence has also been received that Lima is in possession of BOLIVAR ; and thus the independence of Metiio and Peru may be considered as complete. Dispatches were this morning received at the Foreign Office, DJOining•street, from Trinidad, r f the 9th of August, and from the Bahamas of the 12th, but they contAin no intelligence of importance. All was traLquil at both places at the respective dates abovementioned. MR. CANA /NG. Mr. Secretary CANNING, who is now on a visit to his Excellency the LORD LIEUTENANT of Ireland, may be expected in Liverpool aboitt the middle or the latter end of next week, on his return from Dublin. The Right Honourable Gentleman will be juined by Mrs• Cattaenso and Miss CANNING, who will spend a few days with Mr, GLADSTONE, at Seaforth-houses We understand that Mr. CANNING contemplates a tour into Scotland, and that he will visit Mr. BOLTON, at his delightful residence, Storrs, Windermere, on his way thither. —Liverpool Courier. Lord GLErtLYON came to town yegerday. his Lord. ship is on his way to join the sportsmen at Sudburne Hall. The Mat gins of Ilenntortn is otf, to meet his visit. ants at his bun:ing lodge, in Soffuik. We are sorry to hear that the Duke of WELLINGTON still continues in a state far front convalescent. Periodical spasms in the bead and ears his Grace is still subject to. Open house will be kept during the Spotting season at Powis Castle. Lord EANDLY, who has been for some time much in-. disesed at his seat, Belvidere, i. getting belts.. the VICE CHANCELLOR is rapidly recovering since the weatherhas become cool. His constitution must hare been un commonly good to enable hint to have borne up against the ex tremely warm weather immediately after the operation was per formed by Sir Aszi.tv Coon'', but be was not considered at any time in daggcr. A camp of 8,000 or 9,000 men is going to be formed on the heath near Mechlin, two leagues from Alaestricht. Scat borough is at- this period extremely gay, and quite full: it has not had an brilliant a season for several summers. Wednesday, in the forenoon, large flakes of snow fell upon Haldon, near Exeter. Last week a partridge' was shot near Wigton, in the gizzard of which was found a sewing -needle one inch and a quarter long. The needle is a little rusty. A cuc.►niber was lately brought from Wedmore to Bridgewater market, which measured three feet six inches in length, and four inches and a half in girth ! It is in contemplation to erect a chain-bi idge over the Tyne, between North and South Shields. The Archery Society of Necdwood Foresters held their third meeting for tic setson on Friday, the 10th instant, at the seat of T. K. HALL, Earl. who bad irvite.t.l a numerous com pany of friends on the occasion. The visitors to the Likes have been very numerous this season; the inns and lodging houses at Keswick and Amble side continue well filled. DUEL PEEVENTED.—EarIy on Monday morning, as a gallant Naval Officer, resident in Hereford, and a most respect-- able Gentleman who lives in tise• neighbourhood, were proceeding to Lugg hleadow, to settle an affair of honour, a police officer very unexpectedly made his appearance, and claimed the Captaiii as'his l prisoner, who was hound over to keep the peace for five years.— The other Gentleman, on seeing the politer officer, drove off with his second, us the disappointment of the conservatorof the peace. BIGAMY.—At the London Sessions, the Rzcortmat stated the law on this subject, as follows:—It is not necessary that the first marriage should be in this coun try, to con'titute bigamy, provided it has been solem nized according to the rites of the place where it was contracted ; but if the second marriage has been con tracted out of the country, no indictment for bigamy will lay.—Such a marriage in Scotland or Ireland, how ever punishable there, would not be an offence that an English Jury could take cognizance of. The remains of Viscount HAMPDEN were removed this day from his residence, Berkeley-aquare, for interment in the family vault, Glyne flail, Sussex. Count lIIIRNSTORIT, Danish Minister to the Court of Vienna, has arrived at Copenhagen. A peasant gill, who works miracles, now living in Upl an d, i n Sweden, has bee n sum mo n ed to appear be fore the Consistory at Upsal,tn give an account of herself.' Chevalier BtrcurY, the S.vedish Consul-General at Cairo, has sent to the CROWN Pittscr. an Arabian horse, and a live o,trich, which are now at Bukaskey, with a Coptic Christian of the name of Ably, who brought therm over. M. BROGNIART, a French mineralogist, and his son, are expeced at Stockholm from Norway, where they have made a tour for scientific purposes, in company with the celebrated BERZELIVS. A Ix tile, which was thrown from on board the 'Brighton packet ship, from New York to London, on the Ist oh. in 1at.49.25. long. 5.21. was picked up the end of last month, about half a mile from Alderney. M. ANASTART (a learned and wealthy Greek mer cLant at Alexandria, who receives all Swedes in the most hospitable manner), has sent to the King ofH SWILDEN an Arabian horse, which will come by way of, Leghorn ; arid a sarcophagus of Egyptian basalt, which ! connoisseurs say is worth several thousand dollars : this last has already arrived at Marseilles. • Accounts from Vibourg, in Denmark, of the 25th of August, say that the fine weather being so favourable, the harvest is far advanced, arid much corn already got in : but the crop of rye is expt•cted to be a third less than last year. A respite during his Majesty's pleasure has been re ceived for T. Cornock, condemned at the Gloucester Assizes for a highway robbery at Dursley. HORRIBLE CRIME IN SWITZERLAND.—A crime so execrable, that it is difficult to believe it to have been the work of a human being, has been committed in the village of Walperschweil, in the canton of Berne, two leagues from Arberg. The perpetrator is a man of 60 years of age, who has been for some time known for his revolting immorality. Having suddenly conceived the idea of proceeding to America, he demanded money from his wife, whom he supposed to possess property ; being denied, he addressed his claim to the Commune, which also refused to sanction it. These refusals filled him with the most horrible projects of revenge. After having inhumanly assassinated his wife, he contem plated the destruction of the village by fire, and suc ceeded but too well. His preparations were made with skill, and in the night of the 30th of August twenty-five houses were burned to the ground. The wretch has escaped, but the police are at his heels. THE ARMY.

PARISH APPEAL. APPBAL. This was an appeal by the Parish of St. Clement Danes against the Parish of St. Nary-la-bonne, in the matter of ThomasGladwell, who had been servant to Horace Twits, Esq. but was discharged at an hour's notice. The servant said, that he had been engaged for a year, at a salary of Ati, subject to a quarterly notice. Mrs. Twice swore, that be had been only engaged u a weekly servant, dischargeable at a moment's notice. Mr. twigs said, that the servant had been looking into his law books, from which he drew legal inferences in his own favour— (A laugh). But the truth was as Mrs. Twiss had stated. Mr. ALbL , T appeared for the defendant, and Mr. Anotmsous for the appellant. lie had taken a little trouble to find out what suns the servant could have had weekly, at the yearly salary of £B. Perhaps Mr. and Mrs. Twitss would assist him in his ,calculations, for he made the weekly rate, at 52 weeks, three shillings, three fat things, and 36.52 parts of a farthing—(Loud laughter). The appeal was allowed. FIRE 47' GLASGOIV. Sunday night, at eleven o'clock, a fire broke out in the workshop of Messrs. C. and J. BROWN, hardware merchants in Gallowgate, Glasgow ; The fire-engines were immtdiately on the spot, and the fire was speedily extinguished, without doing much damage. During the fire, the officers of police discovered some of the people belonging to the wotk removing casks, which they examined, and found to contain gunpowder, which they seized and sent to the Police-office. We understand that it is now the practice of the trade, since seizures of I powder have been made, and fines levied for contra vention of the Police Act, to store that article in the houses and cellars of their neighbours. This we would mo;t seriously caution the public against, as being only the means of spreading the evil; and we consider that it is the bounden duty of every well-disposed person in this city, to give such confidential communication to the Superintendent of Police as may lead to the detection of the powder, and thus insure the safety of the inhabi tants. The quantity of powder seized on this occasion, was sufficient to have blown up one half of the street. Although an alarm was immediately given, and the engines were soon on the spot, nearly an hour elapsed before any water was procured, except what was thrown. in buckets by the neighbours, who kindly exerted them; selves to extinguish the flames. The roof was totally consumed, and a great many of the tools destroyed.— During the time one of the workmen was away for thti key, the Police broke into an adjoining cellar, rented by the Company, when they found, among other articles. six casks, containing one hundred and thirty—even pounds and a half of gunpowder, which they carriep to the office.—trlasgow Courier. Accounts from Curacoa of the 22J July, state, that, every person in the island was busily employed in dip' ging for gold, in consequnoce of several large pieces of virgin gold having been found at Aruba. One of these pieces weighed 32 lbs. 8 oz. and many piecei had been picked up, weighing from 16 to 18 lbs. The Govern ment of the place had issued several proclamations to prevent speculation, and made thz necessary regulations for securing to the Dutch Government the exclasive benefit of this new mine of wealth. Private advice: from the Gulf of Mexico state the markets to be overstocked with European goods of every description. At Tobacco the market was filled with manufactures, &c. for which there was no demand, and the duties were about to be raised to forty-five per cent. At Vera Cruz orders had been issued that no fo reign vessels should be suffered to enter the river Gua zacoalios, and several American ships which had gone up had been ordered out. The Authorities were also very strict in enforcing the seizure of all vessels having Spanish produce on board, and the Administration is accused of causing detension, and even seizure, in mote than one instance, without sufficient cause. Louis, Lucien, and Jerome Bonaparte, are expected at Carlsruhe. According to an account from that place of Ist September, it seems that the Princess Catherine of Wurtemburg, wife of Jerome, weary of the frivolous and dissipated conduct of her husband, is resolved to seek a divorce. She has asked the consent of her bro ther, the King of Wurtemburg, who has sent a confi dential person to conduct the Princess from Trieste to Rome. It is not known whether she will remain at Rome, or whether she will fix her abode in Wurtem burg.—Brussels Paper. Between nine and ten o'clock last night, a fire broke out in the house of Mr. Handley, a linen-draper, in Haye's•court, Newport-market, which at one time, from the closeness of the court and the adjoining buildings, seemed to threaten the whole neighbourhood. Fortu nately, however, the supply of water was plentiful; and the firemen and engines being prompt in their attend ance, the fire was got under in time to save the house from being destroyed, although considerable damage was done to the front of the house, and some part of the stock in trade was destroyed. Thursday se'nnight, the body of a female child was discovered in the river, near Horsley, Gloucestershire, tied up in an apron ; on opening which it was seen that the poor infant had been barbarously murdered, and an Inquest was that day held, whe■ the Jury returned a vet diet of 66 Wilful murder against some person un known." Suspicion falling upon a servant girl, •vino had loft the neighbourhood and gone to Cheltenham, she was traced and taken into custody on . Friday. She made a full confession of her guilt, and acknowledged having beaten the child to death, in consequence of the threats of her lather and mother, who declared they would tutu her out of doors, and she thought, " as she would then he thrown upon the world, she had better Destroy her infant, and then she would be out of her trouble, ai she was sure justice would overtake her, and she must be hinged." 3 MI %111 MI •,t, - , any thi at me feet hi when chest.
