SPIRIT OF THE JOURNALS. Tunas.—We alluded yesterday to an argument advanced in certain ..lra.loyal quarters, that tne treaty of Paris guaranteed the Throne of France to the elder bravo' of the Bourbons. The public treaty con tains no such stipulation, and on further inquiry we have reason to be lieve that there is no such ' , era article as that referred to by the Right liners in question. One fact we can announce with equal confidence ?lid satisfaction. The ready and cordial recognition of the King of the French by the English Govertiment is thoroughly acquiesced in by all the great Powers of Europe: and no time will be lost by Russia, Austria, and Prussia, in signifying their complete and amicable ac knowledgment of the new Government of France. Ti t es.—The principal proceeding in the Chamber of Deputies, on Tuesday, was the introduction of a bill to repeal that violent prourip. don which was the work of the furious Ultras after their triumph in 11115. It was known, from what passed in the previous sitting, that this measure of reparation, winch will recall to France a number of men who distinguished themselves in the first revolution, was to be brought forward. With whatever disgust the conduct of some of these individuals may be reprded, the repeal of a law, the mere pro position of which was a gross violation of the charter, is not the less an act of justice and wise policy. In consequence of the resignation of M. I assimir Perrier, on account of ill health, M. Lafitte has been chosen almost unanimously President of the Chamber of Deputies. M. Labbey de Pompieres succeeds 111. Lafitte as first Vice-President.- 6ome amusement was excited by a motion to discharge the two state messengers of the Chamber. There is at present in France a strong disposition to dispense with much of the etiquette attached to political institutions; but the fashionable dislike of ceremony, though aided by the recommendation some economy, did not succeed on this occasion, and the old messengers kept their places, which it seems they have occupied since the commencement of the revolution, carrying mes sages with equal impartiality for every party which has happened to be in power, in spite of all changes of so extraordinary a period. Several of the Paris papers state, that Charles X. does not intend to fix himself in England, and that he expects, in answer to a letter he has written to the Emperor Francis, an invitation to reside in Austria. CHRONICLE.—To an stride in The Times of yesterday, to which we have not occasion to allude, there is appended the following singu. lar paragrah ;--" A reference has been made, in quarters which we shall not at present name, to the Secret Treaty of Paris in 1815. We shall now merely hint that the cases; forderis in that impolitic instrument does not apply ; that the supposed guarantee is totally vitiated by the peculiar circumstances of the present crisis. Let those who dispute this point publish That Secret Treaty, and we will demonstrate that, astregards the existing condition of France, it is waste paper." This is a most important paragraph in many respects. It is evidently de rived front an official channel ; and it leaves no doubt that there is a Seem Treaty among the Allied Powers to guarantee to the Bourbons the possession of the throne of France, and that Great Britain and some of the other parties to this Treaty arc now at issue with respect to the interpretation which ought to be given to it. We presume the point on which the &fence of the English Government turns is, that the guarantee of the Allies had re ference to the Government of France as then established, and that Charles the Tenth having himself set aside the Charter, and attempted by revolutionary means to alter the government and constitution of France, has thereby deprived himself of all aid under the Secret Treaty. Another question however, immediately suggests itself. It Charles X. and ilia Ministers communicated, from the commencement of the l'olig. sac administration, the measures which they had it in contemplation to adopt, and at the same time the other patties made no secret of their approbation of them in their diplomatic intercourse with England, is not the silence of England to he construed into a waiver, on her part, of her tight to escape from the guarantee ? The English Ministers ought, in fairness, to have intimated to Austria (the l'ower, we sup. pose, which is at issue with us), and Russia, and Prussia, that the mea. sures about to he taken by France would place that kingdom in a con dition essentially different from that to which the guarantee had refer. ence. This would have been but fair to all parties. if, however, the English Ministry, with the usual Maehiavelian policy not unjustly as cribes" to England, anxious for the success of the measures of Charles (and we believe in our conscience that the upper classes of this country were very generally desirous of that success), remained silent, with a view to be able to shape their conduct according to circumstances, the ob. jcction must now come front them with a very bad grace. Is there a man in England possessed of a vestige of common sense, who believes that the English Ministry were not in full possession of the designs of the French Government ? Nay. that these designs were not the subject of frequent communication between all the great Powers ? CH 'toxic LE.—A Correspondent calls our attention to a passage in a speech of Mr. Huskisson's, of some importance in this respect. Refer. ring to the paragraph in The Times, he says,—By this bold face being put on the matter, we may safely conslude that all is made snug at Paris—that the Ministers of the four great Powers have succeeded in their entreaties to the French Government to keep secret the contents of the iron chest found in Polignac's bureau. But notwithstanding all this, the public, that obstinate public, will still entertain their opi nions when they turn to the columns of The Times for June, 1828, where they will find a statement of one of the initiated, one of the Duke's own Cabinet, who, on his dimissal, turned King's evidence, and in the face of Parliament and of the country, on the 2d of June, 1828, made a sppech that astonished every one, and from which the following is an clitraet "Ile ( Mr. Huskisson) could not believe that Mr. Peel would think that the Minister should be more powerful than the House and the Country ; that he could entertain the notion, though he knew some did entertain it, that it was the duty of Government to arrest improvement and con troul advancement. Persons who looked with alarm at the example of liberty and toleration in other countries—who thought there was danger in the interchange of sentiments between nations, and of the moral influ. ence which one nation might exercise over another, who dreaded such a change as much as he knew this, dreaded the interchange of articles of commerce on more equal terms. He should be ashamed if his Right Honourable Friend could see England reduced to a fifth or sixth station among the nations of the earth, and a Holy Alliance (With.' blished here—that could think a Holy Alliance in this country pur chased at a cheap rate; he should be ashamed, could his Hon. Friend contemplate the liberty of free discussion—of the fre.dom of the press, and the placing the expansive mind of man order an influence which would have an immense standing army to enforce its operations !' fhis speech, coupled with the abominable foreign policy acted on since the Duke has held the reins of government, will not admit of a doubt of his having joined the firm of Me.ternich, Polignac and Co. and in spite of the a : d of The Times, Courier, &c. he will be unseated, and deservedly so, from the place that he acknowledged he was inca pable of tilling in the year 1827." In Mr. Huskisson's speech on Lord Palmaston's motion, on March 10t1t, he had the following memorable passage, as reported in The Chronicle oldie llth :—" Would his Right lion. Friend (Mr. Peel) tell him within how many days Louis X VIII. had prepared the Charter of France ? Yet he hoped that that Charter was not doomed to experience a premature destruction, merely because it was prepared in the short space of three days.— After a farther observation to the above effect, the Right hon. gentleman proc,etittl to dilate upon what he conceived to be the alterations which had taken place in the laws of nations since the year 1815, complaining that wherever free institutions were proposed by the people, or improve ments of any kind endeavoured to be effected by the popular voice, they uniformly experienced the opposition of every Court in Europe, and that milittry execution was inflicted upon them by the nearest power pos sessing the requisite strength. He dented altogether the assertion made on the other side, that the people of' Portugal were favourable to the re .trtiart of the constitution. Ile complained, that at present even legi. tnalr power and legitimate sovereigns were not supported by the other sovereigns of Europe, if they had any free institutions ; while, if they were tyrants, they received every support. This country ought not to act with such criminals, nor follow the practices of such persons." This bet, an Ex-Cabinet Minister ! But the Secret Treaty must not be dnpped : we shall return to it. POST.—MEETING OF PARLIAMENT.—The Gazelle of last night contains his Majesty's Proclamauon, for convening the New Parliament to Tuesday the 26th of October next,:tben to sit for " the dispatch of divers urgent and i m p ortant a ff a i rs ." - The business of the first day will consist principally of a formal communication from the King to the House of Commons (made through the Lord Chancellor) ordering them to proceed forthwith to the election of a Speaker. In obedience to his 31ajesty's command, the House (the Clerk presiding at the table) will immediately go through the necessary proceedings in this respect, on the motion of some distinguished Member. There can be no doubt in regard to the person on whoin this high and important situa tion sill be conferred. Long experience, great talents, dignified de meanour, purity of character, and inflexibly impartial conduct—all which qualities are possesstd In an eminent degree by the Right Hon. C. Manners Sutton—point him out at once as the irresistible choice of the Representatives of the Nation, and it would be superfluous to add, that his election will do honour to their decision. No other business will be transacted On that day, with the exception only of the necessary formality of informing his Majesty of the result of this preliminary pro ceeding. On the second day, the Commons being summoned by the Gentleman Usher of the Mack Rod to attend the House of Lords, the Lord Chancellor will inform the speaker, in person, of the entire Ipprobation of his Majesty of the choice of the House of Com. .eons in his favour. On the return of the Commons to their own !louse, the Speaker will inform them of the King's gracious' Approval of his election to the Chair, and he will proceed immediately to the swearing in of the Members of the House. The third and fourth !lays will be occupied i n p rec i se l y t h e same wa y , name l y—t h e swear i ng of the Members. On the fifth day, when a sufficient number of Members will have been sworn in to enable Parliament to proceed to husiness, a regular communication will be made to his Majesty to that effect. This will be Saturday, Oct. 30. On the following Monday', Nev. I, his Majesty, probably in person and due state, will formally °Pen the business of the Session with a speech from the Throne. The Accessary and pressing business, including, of course, the Supplies re maining to be granted from the last Session, will, it is expected, be dis posed of in about six weeks; and both Houses will therefore, In all probability, adjourn about the middh: of December to the beginning of February. llt ALM—Parliament, it aeons, is prorogued till the 26th of Octo ber, then to meet "tor the despatch of business." These " a ords of course," as applied to the last Sleeting of Parliament, were merely such; for it would not be a very easy matter to point out what business it really despatched. Some persons seem to be of opinion that there is more delay than there ought to be in assembling Parliament, and that its meeting is postponed to the very last hour to which the vote of credit will extend. We do not, however, feel inclined to quarrel with the pe riod fixed ; for, though we dare say Ministers are anxious to ?ostpenc the evil day as late as possible, yet, if they employ the interval tn preparing and maturing the measures which it will be their duty to propose to Parliament, this, with the relaxation which men in all public de partments are entitled to expect, will not make the interval longer than could be reasonably looked for. The period fixed is the week after the quarter sessions, and the week before the term, when both the country gentlemen and the lawyers (who form two such large portions of the Legislature) will be able to assemble with most conve nience. But what is to be done by way of preparation in the interim ? " There's the rub !" The Duke of Wellington, we imagine, cannot willingly attempt to march through Westminster with such a regiment as he headed in the last campaign. The battle which was then to be fought was mere child's play to that which may be now expected. Of the 93 auxiliaries which the whipper-in was sanguine enough to pro mise his Orace, it is now doubted whether one will be found ; while unforeseen events have occurred, requiring talents which it is quite clear, from past experience, the present ministerial phalanx do not possess. Various reports are afloat of overtures being made to this and that party to join the Administration. We have heard various nameementioned, but none of sufficient weigh: to make any serious impression with the country. We should not at all wonder if, after all, these minor negotiations were to end in nothing, and that the Duke were forced to meet the new Parliament armed, or rather unarmed, as he did the last. If such should be the case, it will be easy enough to tiirsee what must be one or other of the issues. Either the Administration must sustain its weakness by such a liberality of concession as must disarm all opposition, or it will be left in such a sate, as to numbers, as will ensure its overthrow. CORBETT'S REGISTER. — LETTER TO THE DUKE Or WEL LINGTON.—In this present letter, I shall speak to you of the publica. tions in London, which give us reason to believe that the tyrannical measures of Polignae WERE INSTIGATED BY PERSONS IN 'ruts COUNTRY. This IS a very serious charge against our country ; but it is not more serious titan it is TRUE; and this I am now about to prove ; not to insinuate or assert, but to PROVE. There is a publication called the QUARTERLY REVIEW, which is published every 3 months. This work, the names of the writers of which are kept completely secret. is called by ail who talk of it, a Government publication. Ido I I not call it such, because I cannot prove the fact ; but I can call it a publication of the ARISTOCRACY AND TUE CLERGY, because it is sold by a bookseller devoted to them, and because they support it and circulate it. From the time that the POLIONAC.IIIN ISTRY was formed, this Review and all the newspapers and other publica dons called " ministerial," began to inculcate the necessity of making the .Government of France " snore monarchical !" As POLIGNAC advanced in his plans, these publications advanced !ri boldness; and as soon as the Chamber of Deputies had been dissolved, they ap. plauded the wialorn and firmness of POLIONAC. When they perceived that the people of Franc: had not been deluded by the Algerine expedi. tion, and that the new elections would be against POLIGNAC ; then they began openly to recommend an abrogation of the Charter, and the as sumption of arbitrary and absolute power on the the part of the king. This hired writer says that we must " buckle on our ar mour for another quarter of a century of wars." From the moment that the news of the revolution reached us, I put in motion all the tilde means in my power to prove to the French people that they had to apprehend no open hostility from Enyland ; and this I did, not by vague assertions, but by laying before them facts, show ing the state of our debts, taxes, and misery ; by showing that even if we had the criminal wish to embroil and enslave them, we had not the ability to do it. No doubt at all that the WHOLE of this body KNEW, in the month of May, that which was then known to the hireling writer above cited. No doubt at all, that they anticipated Polignac's coup d'etdt (stake-stroke) with delight. No doubt at all that they exulted in the prospect of seeing all real liberty of the press, and all nal right of representation, extinguished for ever ; and therefore their sulky si lence is natural ; but not more natural than the loudly-expressed joy of the people of England ; not more natural than their generous sympathy with the people of Fiance, and their admiration of the valour, wisdom, end promptitude, by which they have vindicated their rights. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRANCE. (RECEIVED LAST NIGHT.) PARIS, AUG. 25.—The tai-coloured flag was hoisted at Algiers on the 17th. We shall now soon be able to learn decidedly what we are to think of the scandalous pillage which several lcttters have already men tioned to us—The Marine, which had no share in the occupation of the Casaba, nor in the inventory of the famous treasure, the real amount of which it has not hithero been possible to learn, will henceforth secure the interests of the State front further abuses, and make a strict inquiry into the depredations that have already taken place. It is affirmed that orders are given not to receive any bale on board the vessels returning to France without a strict search, and that every individual of the army. whatever be his rank, will be personally subjected to the same search.—. The plunderers will, therefore, be obliged to empty their pockets. PARIS, AUG. 24.—The accounts which we received from Milan, Ter ran, Bologna, Naples, and all the other great cities of Italy, paint, in the ranee colours, the opinion of all Italian patriots on the affairs of Frmce; every where the greatest enthusiasm manifested itself on the receipt of the news from Paris. The English house of Bell and Robert son has received orders to hire at Leghorn a commodious house for the My of Algiers ; but only for three months ; it is said that this ex-po. telltale thinks of passing the remainder of his days in France. A tea. yeller who has arrived from Genoa, and lute traversed the whole country on the sea -coast, as tar as the ancient department of the Maritime Alps, informs us that the first accounts of the events at Paris had pro duced great agitation there. In all the garrison towns the rild11)(M. leae troops are on foot day and night. They expected some disturbance among the people of Leguira, the officers even expressed fears respecting their own soldiers. However, the order given by the Governor of Nice, not to allow any French Journal to pass the Var, calmed the effervescence, with diminishing the interest which the inha bitants took in the revolution that has been accomplished in France. The prohibited Journals are obtained at a great expense, boats are even sent on purpose to Antibes, St. Tiopez, Toulon, and Marg.:M.B, to fetch these Journals; a Constilutionnel costs from 15 to 20 francs, and was not to be had except clandestinely. But notwithstanding the activity of the Sardinian police, the contents of these Journals transpired. This police has a constant eye on travellers, who are obliged to observe the most profound silence on what is passing in France. At San Remo, Port Mau rece, Savona, &c. the authorities were afraid of the sight of the first tri coloured flag that should appear in the harbour, and were considering how they should receive it. Even the principality of Monaco has ex. cited uneasiness in the Piedmontese garrison. The cannon of the town have been placed in battery, as if a siege were apprehended. At Nice, the terrace, which is towards the sea, is continually full of pets. ple, whose telescopes are directed to the fort and town of Antibes, on which the oi-coloured flag is flying. The same traveller observed that all the towns of Provence, from Antibes to Aix, have not received with the same feelings the news of the revolution at Paris, and of the acces sion of Louis Philip I. to the throne. Ihe fault is ascribed to the authorities, who are all devoted to the congregation. Doctor Bowring will be solemnly received to-morrow at the Town-hall. It is said there will be many deputations representing the city of Paris. and that some distinguished strangers will also be present. Dr. Bowring is the bearer of the resolutions passed unanimously in the three assemblies of London. The Constitutiomiel quotes those passed at the London Tavern on the 17th, at a meeting in which Mr. Henry Warburton presided. PRIVATE LETTAIi. PARIS, WEDNESDAY E% ENlNa.—Last night the same exhibition was continued in different coulters of this city which I described to you in my preceding letter. In the faubourgs, groups of people of the dais of unemployed workmen, parad e d w i t h tr i- co l oure d ihanting the blarseillois Hymn, and making grotesque and fantastic gestures, as well as inviting others to join in their movements. A few individuals of there parties, bearing flags, entered the Palais Royal about 8 o'c,ock, when several citizens remonstrated with them upon the tendency of such pro ceedings, however well meant, and said that the people had already shown their strength and their moderation, and that every good man should now see the necessity of leaving public measures in the hands of the Government and the laws. These citizens added, that all crowds now tended to interrupt and compromise the public tranquillity, anal that no patriot could encourage them. A few members of the National Guard from the Court of the Orleans (now the Kings Palace) were at this time parading through the walks of the Palais Royal. I observed that they interfered in like manner, violently though firmly, with these flag. bearers. They only wore side arms, and it was curious to see the ani mated motions of the respective parties; the people insisting upon their right to move as they pleased, and the soldiers as vehement that they must exercise buck right elsewhere, for that from the Basis they must decamp, rout de guile. Compliance was at length obtained to this order, but not before two era:lnv, who harangued against it, were safely and quietly marched by two of the guards to the hall of the Palace, where they were kept a Omit time, and afterwards discharged (as I heard, for I did not remain the whole time), when their energies had cooled by exhaustion. At ten o'clock, however, a body of about sixty, principally composed of young men and boys of the humblest class in life, as I should presume from their personal appearance, marched through the Petals Royal, preceded by the tri-coloured flag, and singing the Marseillois Hymn. I was surprised to find that the were allowed to p ass u nm o l es t e d ; th e y mo v ed, however, at a quick pace, and merely crossed once on a line with' the colonnade. These groups of people were, as 1 am informed, armed in sans other parts of the town, many of them wearing swords and pistols ; there were none! with alms last night in the PalMs Royal ; nor do I attach any impor tance to these evolutions. There arc large numbers of people at present unemployed in this city, and the buoyancea of the national character, and tumultuous joy of many of them who participated in the late combat, almost necessarily pomp such ebullitions ; the Government is not yet sufficiently consolidated to command that attention from the people, a hich will alone absorb their thoughts, and turn them away from these frivolous propensities. In one place, near the Bourse last night, I saw a . juggler on th e p avement p l ay i ng a v i o li n, and delight i ng a group ni people; just next him was another tittle in which a group were dancing a quadrille about an odd looking fellow, who was waving a tricoloured ' flag, and shouting some deggtel verres about Charles X. and the Bishop of Paris ; but, really, the one class of people seemed as joy ously entertained with the conjuror as their compatriots with the flag of liberty. I mention these things,which occurred under my own eye, to show that there is no great danger impending from these popular ap pearances, although they do not, evidently, express a very sound con dition of society. I mentioned to you yesterday that the government find they must put ds Polignac upon his trial; but there is every wish, as well as hope, he will be only punished by exile —the penalty he was about to iifiict upon himself. If, how ever, the people should. under any untoward impulse, unite these fermented masses, of which I have spoken, there is an apprehension that the result of the trial of this ex-Minister may be otherwise, as he is sadly implie,ted in the military movement against the Parisians. Marmount was merely the executive soldier. The orders came from M. de Polignae, whose reception r. f the Deputies, who sought to revoke the fatal ordinances, is ruttembered much to his disadvantage. It is just to the new Government to mention, that every attention isdirected to be paid the prisoner,consistent with his safe conduct,as well as may facility for his defence: his lady, who is far advanced In pregnancy, is at her country seat, with her children--he is allowed to communicate by open letters with his friends, and to teccivc every thing connected with his personal comfort. It is expected that he will be brought to Paris by night at the end of this week : he attempts to tally at times, but his spirits are mostly de presased to a degree which bespeaks unusual feebleness of character, and be is very apprehensive of being sacrificed by popular violence. lie ought not have to these fears ; for the people, now that the trial is de termined upon, await t h e result with suitable confidence in the tribunals. I saw the King at nine o'clock this morning walking upon the terrace near his house, over the colonnade of the Palais Royal. He was plainly dressed, and wore a white hat; his attention seemed to be entirely di rected to a new edifice, which his architect is erecting at the corner of this part of the building. His Mrjesty had a full Council of Minis ters this day, which sat for several hours in the Palais. It is said that tite King is most urgent that not a day should be lost in progressing through the Chambers the law for abolishing the penalty of death ; but the deputies are much occupied still with tile essential election formali ties, which cannot be dispensed with.— Times.

LIMERICK, Aua. 25. On Monday, Major-General Sir Edward lik-keney, K.C.B. retired from the command of this district, and yesterday morning, accompanied by Lady Blakency and his Aid-de-Catnp, Colonel Cuyler, left for Kil. Jamey and Cork to Dublin, where he succeeds Major-Gen. Dalbiac, who is promoted to be Inspecting Officer of the Cavalry in England. Colonel Barclay, Stith, now commands this garrison. Two divisions, consisting of 500 men of the 8341 Regiment, under the command of Colonel nuncios, landed a: IkVast on Wednesday morn ing, front the Fingal and Frolic steam vessels, front Scotland. They are on their route for Enniskillen, to replace the 37th ordered to em. bark at Cove. On Monday last the 37th regiment left Enniskillen for Cork, where they embark for Bermuda—the 37th have 18 days march to the point of embarkation. The Depot of the 37th will be formed at Cork. The Detachment of the 37th, under Captain Dillon Massy, marched from Umagh yesterday, for Cork. Bermuda is considered a healthy station for the Military. The 74th Regiment now in garrison, and but recently returned front that Colony, lost only ten men there in ayes: and a half. Captain Breete's company of the 21st Fusileers will leave Marybo. rough for Kilkenny, being replaced by a company from head-quarters. The Reserve Companies of the 25. h regiment have arrived at Glas gow, to do duty.

QUEBEC, JULY 28. —The Neptune, which arrived this morning from Gaspe, has brought intelligence of the total loss of the Triton from Dublin, on the Bth inst. during a gale from F.S E. on Cape Rosier. There were 138 emigrant passengers. of whom 25 to 25 have been drowned. A number of the bodies had been found and' , buried, and others were daily washed up from the wreck. Sixty of the surviving passengers are on their way to Quebec, in the --, Capt. &Miff ; the remainder having spread themselves about, in the country adjoining where the wreck took place. Captain Boudreault spoke the --, on Sunday week a little below Pointe des Monts; the passengers were short of provisions, and on an allowance of a biscuit and a half a day, their stock not enabling them to continue on that allowance more than three days. They have probably therefore, put into some of the ports below for provisions; if not, they may be hourly expected. Captain Boudreault also informs us that a shallop of about forty tons, belonging to Captain Abler, loaded with salt, was driven ashore at the same time, and the Captain (Dennis) and the crew drowned. A LOVER or EASZ.— W hen Polignac was recognised at Granville, he was asked why he attempted his escape, and is said to have answered. " Because I feared to be disquieted." Daniel O'Connell, Esq.

Palmer, of Wm caster has taken out a patent f o r a mac hi ne , i n perfecting which he has been engaged for ten years. It works by steam and is adapted fur cutting canals, levelling hills for railways, or removing large masses of earth.

OPINION or POPULAR APPLAUSE.—The street in which Bonaparte's small residence, No. 6, stood, was named Chante reine ; but, during the night of theloth-1 lth December, received the appellation of " Victory," in consequence of a public decree. This and other incense offered to his name, the acclamations which every where followed his appearance, altered not his estimate of the position which he knew himself to occupy in public opinion. He used to say to nee, In Paris they soon forget every thing. If I remain long here idle. I am lost. One reputation in this great Babylon eclipses another. People will not have seen me above thrice at the theatre, when I shall be co longer an object of regard : therefore I shall appear but seldom."— When he did go, it was to a private box. " Nevertheless," observed I, " it must be agreeable thus to be followed by the admiration of one'. fellow-citizens.' " Bah ! the same crowd would run after me, with the same eagerness, were I marching to the gallows."— Constable's Miscellany, Vol. LVII.) GRACIOUS CONDESCENSION.—Her Elephantine High ness, Princess Djeck, during her late sojourn among our norther.[ neighbours, the "modem Athenians." gave the following instsnce or' her gracious condescension :—Her Highness, on her arrival in she Scottish metropolis, experiencing great difficulty in procuring a palace sufficiently capacious for herself and suite, her grand chamberlain (Yates) found it a b so l ute l y necessary to have a tem porary one erected ; the spot selected as the most eligible site wars In the grounds adjoining the Catholic Chapel, and upon the com• pletion of the palace, her Highness took up her residence there. ft however lacked one accommodation, which her Highness gra ciously condescended to pardon, viz. a chapel, and throwing aside all state, she, on Sunday week, left her palace unattended, and proceeded on foot to the neighbouring chapel, where her ap pearance created no small surprise to the congregation, who had received no previous notice of her Highness's intended visit Their alarm hay log at length somewhat subsided, and her Highness having recovered her usual self-possession, she, after calmly surveying the s a cr e d place, and the astonished auditory, deigned to give a proof of her entire satisfaction of all she witnessed, by showering down upon them, not only her bless ings, nor a shower of holy water, but a trunk-full of bran, with which her Highness had come provided from her ptivate stores ; after which her Highness departed, and returned to her ralace in the mine private manner, leaving the astonished auditory duly impressed with Lir Highness's condescens'on and unbounded liberality. Captain Chevalier Peter Dillon, the diaccverer of the wrecks of the unfortunate Count de la Perouse, has armed in town from Paris on a particular mission. This celebrated navigator, who has recently published his work in Fren c h, was i nv i te d b y t h e live Govern ment in France to undertake a voyage of discovery in the South Pacific, where he was appointed as Vice Consul, but through the intrigues of the congregation of Jesuits, who wished to have a creature of their own, he was thawed in his enterprise. On his makings!, application to the French Government for an indemnity for the losses he had sustained, in consequence of their non-fulfilment of the expedition, lie was told that the croix d'honneur was sufficient. He threatened to make the whole of use intrigues puhdc, when Polignac sent fur him, and told him that if he woald leave France in less Clan fifteen' days, 3,000 francs should be awarded to him, which conditions he indignantly refused ; 3,1:00 francs were, however, paid him, and he remained in Paris during all the late troubles. It appears he has some proposals to make. si as to undertake a voyage of discovery round the world, and few officers will be better suited than he is for the hazardous task.
