THE EVENING STAR. LONDON. FRIDAY, JUNE 11. " WINDSOR CASTLE, Juxx 11, 1830. " The KING experienced rather less difficulty in his respiration yesterday. His MAJESTY has had a good night. (S) "sHENRY HALFORD. " MATTHEW J. TIERNEY." Private letters from Paris, of Wednesday night, state, with great confidence, that the French fleet, destined for Algiers, had been dispersed by a hurricane off Palma. We give the report—notwithstanding our notice of yes terday—because we believe in the probability of the casualty. Experienced persons, upon whose information we feel safe in relying, have ventured even to hazard a prediction, that the pompous outfit of the French, is not unlikely to meet with the same fate as the famous Spanish Armada. An express has arrived from Paris, with the Gazette de France of Thursday's date. The King of Naples had nearly recovered from his illness, and their Sicilian Ma jesties would leave Paris at the end of the month. An arrival at Toulon, from St. Domingo, had brought intel ligence of the formal breaking off of the negotiations be tween the French Commissioner and the Haytian Go vernment, and the former had embarked for France. A vessel had arrived at Barcelona, in three days, from Al giers, with intelligence that only one French vessel of war had been wrecked off the Algerine coast; and that the crew of 177 men had been thrown into prison. The fires in the different provinces of France continued : and the great est alarm was excited. Troops were moving in various parts of France towards the coast for the purpose of forming an army of reserve. The accounts by this ar rival from Constantinople, state that the Grand Vizier had arrived at the capital from Albania, for the purpose of conferring with the Sultan respecting that district.— French Five per Cents. 103, 80, 55, 60, 50, 55 ; Three per Cents. 77, 60, 65, 55, 50 ; Four per Cents. 100, 99f. 90, 85c. Bank Actions 1900, Rents de Naples 85f. 80, 85, 60. _ Our attention has been this day incidentally attracted by a paragraph in the last French papers, mentioning that a Treaty was almost concluded between the Republic of Hayti, and the Commissioners of the French Go vernment in that island, but that its execution had been frustrated in consequence of some hesitation in the mind of the President PETION, as to the amount stipulated to be paid by the Haytians, as an equivalent for the advantages supposed to be derivable from the renewed connection with their ancient friends, or rather masters. As we pledge ourselves to our readers, that nothing shall escape record in this Paper, which can in the smallest degree advance the holy cause of equal justice to all men, they may depend upon re ceiving an early notice of the terms of the treaty al luded to, when they shall transpire. Every philan throphist will naturally be anxious, until he obtain more detailed information—and he will feel almost in voluntarily, a similar degree of apprehension at watch ing a treaty between the President of Hayti, and the representatives of his Majesty the King of France, as he would feel were he watching a more ignoble con tract between an expert blackleg, and a country bumpkin at a fair. It must, however, be admitted that the present state of Hayti, viewed in one light, may be considered as highly creditable to the French national character.— Must not the noble display of talent, intelligence, and patriotism, which the brief annals of that interesting' Island can already display, be attributed alone to the liberality of the French character ? Had not the masters of TOUSBA INT, of Cli RISTOPIIE, and of DESS ALI NES, been Frenchmen, we blush for almost all the other nations of Europe to say, that proba bly the noble experiment we now witness would never have occurred. It was the generous education-- the time and opportunity to obtain instruction—which the French Ministers afforded their sieves, which produced such a result. Which of our Slave Colonies could furnish men to negotiate intelligently, with Ambassadors from moat adroitly diplomatic nation in Europe ? As English-' men, we are humiliated when we reflect upon the question —but it affords us still pleasure to do that justice to the French character which we conscientiously think it merits. Although we cannot to-day gratify the friends of slave abolition, with any information regarding the treaty al luded to, we think it our duty to call their notice to what has been passing in a spot of the globe which once occu pied—in no inconsiderable degree--the attention of busy man, but which now seldom attracts observe tion. In another part of this paper we have thought it our duty, to publish an account from Malacca of the transactions there, regarding the manumis sion of the slaves of that colony, which we believe has exhibited to the world, the very first in stance of a voluntary resolution among slave-holders, to terminate, at a stated period, their usurped authority. Those who know the comparative indigence of the large majority of the slave-holders in that ancient seat of Eu ropean power—principally consisting of the descendants of the poor Portuguese, whom the jealous avarice of the Dutch thought too insignificant to force from their homes —will not be surprised that a period has been appointed to intervene before the final emancipation of the slaves there.—Domestic slavery there, has nothing in it to outrage the kind feelings of a man's nature like the field slavery of the West Indies.—On the contrary, a visitor of that country can hardly discover that slaves exist, except in name. At the same time, we think, however mild its appearance, as it is essentially subjecting one human being to the caprices of another, the man of benevolence must rejoice to hear of its termination; and we congratulate Mr. LEWIS, the gentleman who has been principally instrumental in accomplishing this example for the slave population all over the world, on the conscious pleasure he must feel, to the latest day of his existence, in bearing so honourable a part in the glorious achievement. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Consols, which left off yesterday at 921 for the ac count, opened at the same price this morning; but soon after receded to 921 to with little doing as yet, as the speculators are waiting for the account of the landing of the French expedition, as well as the bulletin of his Majesty's health. In the Foreign Market, little going forward, except in Spanish Bonds, which are lower, in consequence of their having come lower from Paris, where they have been done at 12.—N0 arrival this morning. Accounts from Paris state that the indisposition of the King of Naples still continues ; a consultation of doctors has taken place. The same accounts state that it was confidently as serted, in the above capital, that two noble peers, distin guished for their attachment to the royal cause, conceived it their duty, at the present crisis, to make known to an illustrious personage, at an audience, that the unanimous opinion of the electors wa s pronounced in the strongest manner against the continuance of M. Peyronnet in office ; and that an unhappy choice of deputies might be apprehended. This communication was taken as an ob structive censure on the exercise of the royal prerogative, and these noblemen are said to have received, on the. same day, an intimation not to appear again at the Tuileries until further orders. It. also appears that negociations are still going on with M. de Villele ; and there is a pro bability of his succeeding M. de Montbel in the finance department. Letters from Pera of the 10th ult. state, that at one of the meetings between Count Guilleminot and the Reis Effendi, the Turkish Minister, exasperated at the idea of any settlement being made by the Christians on the coast of Africa, said to the Count—" We know the value of your soft French words ; you held out the same language to us previous to the battle of Navarino : your purposes are to deprive the Porte of the vast resources she may draw from the African coast. In this you may be defeated." To which the French Ambassador made no reply, but immediately withdrew.—Accounts from Constantinople state, that the Sultan proposes to give his eldest daughter in marriage to Held Paella, as soon as the negociator shall have returned from St. Peters burgh. CITY, HALF-PAST ONE. Letters by the Estefette this morning from Paris, bring the French 3 per cents. Rents lower, 77-50 ex dividend. The fall is attributed, if no official accounts , having been received of the French expedition being off Algiers ; also to a report of the expedition having expe rienced a storm, and some of the ships having got ashore on a foreign coast. We have no doubt that, on or before Monday, we shall be informed of the true result of what is passing on the African shores. The funds still continue languid, without the lout business doing, and Consols are 924 sellers for the Account. In the Foreign Market there is also a great dulness in business. Spanish about 4 per cent. lower. _ _ On Saturday afternoon, betwixt six and seven o'clock, an accident occurred on the Clyde, off Dumbarton Castle, which might have been dreadful in its consequences. A boat carrying about 20 persons, who were returning to Glasgow from Loeb Lomond, had put off from the quay of Dumbarton to be carried on board the Leven steamer, ap pointed to bring the passengers coming from that quarter to Glasgow. The boat was rowed by three men belonging to Dumbarton, one of whom, particularly, was noticed to be intoxicated ; and from the careless way in which they ma naged the boat, they received repeated admonitions from the passengers to attend better to their duty, or they should all be upset. On approaching the steamer the boat was, from their irregular rowing, canting at such a Date, that on one of the boatmen seizing the rope hung over the steamer's side, the boat's gunnel slipped under water, and instantly turned keel upwards. The whole party were now iu deep water, in the middle of the channel, and their rescue from instant death is chiefly to be attributed to the astonishing activity and courage of the steward of the Leven, who instantly jumped overboard, and almost miraculously succeeded in placing the whole party on board the steam-boat ; where, in his wet clothes, he treated with such skill the infant child of a female passenger, which appeared quite dead, that he had the pleasure of placing it alive and well in the arms of its mother, who, charged with the other three exhausted children, was totally unable to attend it. Five ladies, who were taken out of the water, were put into the cabin, stripped of their wet clothes, and rolled up in blankets— none of their fair sisters who were passengers, and who had witnessed the accident, finding it convenient, although applied to, to relinquish any part of their dress in their favour. The affair, there is little doubt, will be strictly inquired into by the public prosecutor. • r • • )1( 64 Ch 9, 4 SIS eite s • „ rytailiCam POcATISw'-". _a->>~ - AT TWO O'CLOCK.

WINDSOR, JUNE 11.—The King is a shade better than he was in the morning. There have been no ar rivals at the Castle to-day. The gentlemen who are, and have been for some time, in immediate attendance on the King, are, Sir Wm. Koppel, Sir Andrew Barnard, Colonel Thornton, and the Bishop of Chichester. Mr. Brodie generally arrives at the Castle about nine in the evening, and leaves at nine in the morning. The bulletin was shown yesterday, as usual, to the Nobility and Gentry at the King's Palace, St. James's, by Lord Clinton, as Lord and Sir William Houston, as Groom, in waiting. The Austrian Ambassador had a long conference with the Duke of Wellington yesterday at the Treasury. His Excellency afterwards visited the Earl of Aberdeen at the Foreign Office. A numerous deputation of master manufacturers, from Staffordshire and parts adjacent, had an interview, by ap pointment, with the Duke of Wellington, yesterday, at the Treasury. The Lord Chancellor, Earl Rosalyn, the Earl of Aber deen, Sir Robert Peel, and the Chancellor of the Exche quer, visited the Duke of Wellington yesterday, at the Treasury. THE MARQUESS of o Lx.sev.—With feelings of deep regret we have learned that this chivalrous and high-minded nobleman has been for some days suffering under a very severe attack of tic douloreux. In the early part of last week his Lordship was considered to be in great danger, but we are happy to observe, by a state ment in a London Sunday Paper, that the violence of the disorder has, in some degree, decreased. MARRIAGE IN HIGH Li PR.—Tuesday, in St. Pe ter's Church, by the Lord Bishop of Ossory, the Rev. Henry Prettie Perry, second son of the late Samuel Perry, Esq. of Woodrooff, Tipperary, to Catherine, Boungest daughter of the Hon. and Right Rev. the Lord ishop of Waterford, and niece to the Earl of Mayo. The Harmonicon, alluding to the refusal of Count Rossi to acknowledge the legality of his marriage with Mademoiselle Sontag, on account of her not being able to boast a descent from nobility, says, " this is the very perfection of absurdity—fully raised to the tenth power I A Sicilian Court—a title which may be had for a few hundred crowns—who never would have been heard of beyond the coast of Calabria but for his union with a beautiful girl of the highest lalent ; a man who, but for his match, so fortunate for him, must have lived died in poverty and obscurity—hesitates to ratify a marriage which gives him at once youth, beauty, independence, and a name." The following postscript is given in one ef the private letters from Paris, dated Tuesday evening :—" It has been announced on Change, by order, I believe, of the Minister, that the fleet has arrived safely before Algiers." —As this news probably reached Paris by telegraphic communication, the details, if there are any, cannot bo expected for two or three days. An. English corvette having gone to Oran to take his Brittannic Majesty's Vice-Consul on board, the Dey would not allow this agent to embark. It appears that the Bey of Oran was reluctantly obeying his master's orders in this respect. It is asserted that the departure of the French fleet for Algiers is the pretence for the Dey's refusal to suffer the Consuls to depart, and that it is intended to make the necessary claims against this measure. Those who have the curiosity to watch the beginning, progress, and end of a thorough job, have only to keep their eye upon what is going on in an out-of-the-way snug corner of the late site of Carlton Palace and gardens. In a published letter of the Duke of Wellington to the late Sir Thomas Munro, dated " Camp at Kittour, Aug. 7, 1800," his Grace (then General Wellesley) thus ex presses himself:—" As for the wishes of the people, par ticularly in this country, I put them out of the question. They are the only philosophers about their governors that ever I met with—if indifference constitutes that character." An Evening Paper states that a handsome testimonial to his Majesty is erecting, by public subscription, in the centre of the six roads which unite at Battle-bridge. The committee appointed to superintend the construction have published a description of what it is intended to be. " They have also," says the editor, " favoured us in the prospectus with the following interesting historical facts relative to the situation Around it, Julius Caner, and Marc Antony, and Cicero, were in encampment for two years; when the laws and mandates issued byCaesar tended, in a great measure, to civilize the Ancient Briton."' We should like to be informed when Cicero was in England. If the committee mean, as.of course they do, the great Roman orator, they are in error : Tullius Cicero was never in England. His brother Quintus commanded a division of Clesar's army, but is not mentioned by Caesar as hav ing accompanied him, on either of his invasive visits to England. Julius Caesar, instead of two years, was scarcely (including both visits) more than two months in this country, and then very little in the neighbourhood of London. The discussions In the Commons last night were long, but no result of any consequence followed. Some addi tional papers relative to the Greek question were moved for, and readily granted ; the only one refused being withheld on sufficient grounds. The Equity Bill was strenuously opposed by Sir Charles Wetherell, in one of his most amusing, and to use a phrase of his own, " om nigenons and heteroclite" speeches. It was supported by the Solicitor-General in a very elaborate and well-di gested argument. A bill for abating the cause of the frightful calamity of canine madness was read a first time. The following anecdote is the subject of general con versation at Toulon :—One of the Prefects discharged by the present Ministry received compliments of condolence on leaving his office from the principal inhabitants of the department, whose goodwill he had conciliated by his be nevolent conduct in the exercise of his functions. Among them appeared a Ministerial ex Deputy, who made him a thousand protestations of regret. " I am the more sensible of these marks of interest," replied the ex-Prefect, "since it is to you that I owe my dismissal." " How !" answered the ex-De puty, much disconcerted. "I am fully aware to whom I am indebted for this favour," rejoined the ex- Prefect, "as M. de Montbel had the goodness to com municate to me the letter you wrote to him against me." The ex-Deputy was silenced ; but he swore that, since the Minister observed so little discretion towards those who endeavoured to show their seal, he would renounce his candidateship for a seat in the Chamber, and expose himself no longer to be thus ill rewarded. He is fully expected to keep his oath, and decline coming forward as a candidate.—French Paper. CAUTIOX TO PUILICANIP—Mr. Jones, landlord of the Queen's Head, Albemarle -street, was yesterday fined 10s. at the Marlborough Police Office, for allowing a serjeant of the New Police to eat his supper in the par lour of his (Mr. Jones's) house. The Serjeant (who was on duty at the time) was discharged from the service for this breach of duty, and a similar punishment was inflicted on a Constable who was guilty of the same 'offence on a previous day. AFPAIR BETWEEN MR CHRISTIE I MX. MILLS TO THE EDIVTOInITHE STAR. Si a—The satisfactory explanation which had been given to, and as satisfactorily received by, the ma gistrates respecting my right to draw upon Mean, Cox and GREENWOOD, would have rendered un necessary the obtrusion of any part of my cast upon the public notice, had not my attention been di rected to a letter, bearing thesignature of Mr. DOUG I.A3i COOPER MILLS, in the Times of yesterday, completely contradictory of his statement, as reported in that journal of the preceding day. On his original charge against me, I can now place ao other construction than a design to suppress my evidence before a general meeting of the Junior United Ser u i c , Club, assembled to canvass the respective merits of him. self and Lieut.Bu RT —with the recent particulars of which I was—l regret to say—more conversant than any otlio, person. I now distinctly state, that at the urgent r, . quest of Mr. MlLLs—and Mr. MILLS alone —I went to Bow-street, and had the parties bound over keep the peace, and this request 1 complied with, from anxiety to avert the consequence of bloodshed in thii country—Mr. MILLS being a practised shot. Mr. MILL. afterwards told me that his object was of a different n u . lure; and that he made the request in tender regard for thi, feelings of a lady of great fortune, to whom be was gout.; to be married, further urging me to reconcile matters ami cably with Mr. By RT, since, if the affair could be hash, d sip, it was his intention to leave the army,and quit the club. Whatever ulterior course I may be advised to adopt, I at once pronounce Mr. Mt um's accusations a tissu e of gross and malicious falsehood. I arr, Sir, your obedient servant, June 11, 1830. G. J. CHRIST IE 'ROVINCIAL NEWS. The brig Albion, A. Isaacs, master, belonging to Dui, lin, which sailed from Cove on the 30th of March, wit' passengers for St. John's, New Brunswick, arrived ow in fifteen days, all well. This is one of the shortest passages ever made to British America. TRINITY COLLEGE.—Messrs. North and Lefroy were actively engaged, last week, in canvassing the nets scholars for their votes at the approaching election.-- Freeman's Journal. Tan New JUDGE.--II is understood that Mr. Leslie Foster will take his seat on the Exchequer Bench thy: first sitting day of term (Friday, the 11th inst.) If his commission has not yet arrived, it is hourly expected His robes are finished.—Dublin Morning Register. A shocking accident occurred on the 31st ult. at Cambray, in a corn mill impelled by a steam engine of twenty horse power. One of the cylinders burst, and dreadfully wounded two brothers, who were both in an instant covered with the boiling water. One of then; had sufficient strength and resolution to fly to the hos. pital for relief ; but, after twelve hours' sufferings, he expired. His brother is considered in a hopeless state . Another brother, who was also employed at the mil', flew to their aid, and was severely injured, but his life is not in danger. On Saturday last, a man brought a box to the Flying Horse Inn, Manchester, addressed to Mr. Heginbottom, cotton-spinner, Ashton-under-Line, which he seemed very anxious to have forwarded immediately by one of the market-coaches. He paid the booking and carriage, and again giving strict injunctions about its delivery, went away. The box was forwarded to Ashton, and there given to a boy to be taken to Mr. Heginbottom's factory. Tliv boy, when near the factory, asked two men who were lounging about, if that was the factory before him ? The men said it was, and said, " Hast thou gotten a box for him ?" When the boy got to the factory, he was di rected to take the box to Mr. Heginbottom's house. and there, the gentleman not being in, Mrs. Heginbot tom, in the presence of some of the family, prepared to open it. Having raised up the lid a little, she found something hold within, and fearing that the box contained something that might break, shook it a little to loose', the obstruction. She then tried the lid again, and i loud snap was heard within. On lifting off the lid, a pistol was found firmly fastened in the box with a string so connecting the trigger and the lid, that the box could not be opened without firing off the pistol. Commu nicating with the upper part of the box, was a coinpvt ment containing several pounds of the best gunpowder. This matter has of course created a great sensation in Ashton and its neighbourhood. Mr. Heginbottom has had a dispute with his spinners of some duration, and in the absence of other reasonable grounds of suspicion, it is thought that this attempt to destroy his family must be the work of some incendiary amongst them. Monday evening week an afflicting accident happened to a boy named Walker, son of Mr. Walker, the master of the band of the '2d West York Militia, who, as our readers may recollect, had the misfortune to brez.k his leg at Chester, when attending there at the late festival, and which occa sioned the subsequent amputation of the limb. The boy was standing on the flags, with his back to the street, when the Leeds waggon, belonging to Messrs. Hartley and Hobson, was leaving York, and was making the turn at the corner of All-Saints-church pavement. The dog which accompanied the waggon, and which, we understand, was running loose at the head of the horses, seized Walker by the calf of the leg, and pulled him down under the horses' feet, by which his left arm was broken close below the elbow. The poor little fellow was taken up in a most deplorable condition, and continued in a state of the most acute suffering for three or four days. We are happy, however, to add, that he is, though sloe ly, re covering. In addition to the injuries sustained from the trampling of the horses, the laceration of the leg is very serious, the fangs of the dog being deeply indented on both sides of the wound.— York Herald. The fatal termination of the prize-fight in Bucking hamshire has awakened the indignation of the public. and the consequent alarm of the parties implicated in the murder, to a degree which seems likely to issue in the, final and authoritative suppression of such disg,racefu, exhibitions. It is said that there was a magistrate of the county of Bucks peculiarly prominent in the scene. It is at all events to be hoped, that whatever fate may await him in a court of justice, the Lord Lieutenant of the county, and in his default his Majesty's Government , will not suffer that individual any longer to disgrace the bench. At all events, the men of rank and fortune who assisted in the brutal expedition ought not to be allowed to escape. The claims of justice, the blood of the mur dered, and the well-being of the country, alike call aloud for an example.—The Record. MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR.—A deliberate act of self destruction was committed by a young female in the river Eden, near this city, on Monday morning last , under somewhat mysterious circumstances. About five o'clock in the morning, as a man named Branon, who leads sand and coals, was proceeding along the Brampton road beyond Stanwix, be observed a female walking near the river on the opposite side, and from her manner he suspected that she meditated suicide. The man went to a situation where be could better observe her, but before he had well time to look again towards her, she bad plunged into the river and was drowned.—Carlisle Patriot. - me nail for eno Pei in. 4I
