I am one of those Englishmen who have witnessed with pleasure the arrival of the British Foreign Minister in the capital of France. My bosom swells with national pride to see the anxiety of the volatile French to get a sight of our English lion—the eager anxiety, not un mixed with awe, with which they regard him. But there is one party, "small, indeed, in number (to use the language applied by the Hight Hon. Secretary himself to the Radicals of England) powerless alike in talent and in place," which looks with an evil eye on the homage of popular respect and admiration, rendered to the reputation of Mr. Canning. You already guess that it is the poor, worn out, and disappointed Ultras I am about to name. This renowned sect of politicians of the old school, whose whole ambition centres in the re establish establishment of the ancien regime,by which their country was once hurled into the pit of anarchy, and would he - again; who hate constitutions, proclaim the divine right of Kings, inculcate passive obedience, and worship the " legitimate' Ferdinand ; this musty sect, forsooth, can not conceal their chagrin at the presence of our Minister. You may know an Ultra, wherever you meet him, by the sneer of affected contempt, which his countenance seems to wear, habitually, towards the gay and the happy of every scene into which he enters. The tone of their lamentations, I confess, amuses me. At Galig. nani's famous Salon de Lecture. you know that we see the French and English Journals, Periodicals, kc. and it was here that I perused the articles in the Quitaienne (the Ultra Paper) of yesterday and to day, which have given rise to the present observations. The following is the manner in which the subject of Mr. Canning's arrival in Paris is noticed: —.... Yesterday" Whatever the Journals of the Ministry may say to the contrary, the deed is done; the independence of the Spanish Colonies is recognised by France. But three years ago our soldiers raised up the throne of Ferdinand ; to-day we trample under foot the most sacred rights of his Crown. States, which revolt alone had constituted, are placed in the rank of legitimate and regular Sovereignties. As soon as the Republics of the New World shall condescend to receive the French flag, and the agents of France, the nag and the agents of the Republica win be admitted into our I p or t a . ibis is no more than what lots been long prepared, as we have already announced, and which bursts upon us to-day, as though it was thought to salute Mr. Canning upon his arrival by a' formal act of adhesion to his policy—as though the two leading Ministers resolved to mingle with their toasts, In honour of the Kings of France and of England, the names of Bolivar and of Doctor Francis. 0 Rash Ministers, take the reward which is due to you. Hear ye not the plaudits of revolutionary opinion?—lt greets your un— it proclaims them as concessions to the demands of the age. We warned you that your course was one of danger—that you would be driven to a treaty with liberal opinion—and that point you have at length reached!" This Day—" We have got Mr. Canning at Paris; at the same instant Havre sees enter, and feat aloft in its port, the Republican eolouri of the Americans. These two facts explain each other by their 'coincidence. M. de Villele, not presenting himself with sufficient alacrity before the independence of the New World, the ensign of their independence has come to lower itself before him. Mr. Canning takes upon himself to do the honours, and to present to our Royalist Ministers the standard of revolt." This is the language of the fluoadienne. Had not the imbecility of the party speaking came in to my re lief, I confess I should have felt something lira indigna tio nat the comparison of the chosen *epr ntative of the English Monarchy to a Master of 'the, erentonies' to the spirit of revolt. I would ask this sapient writer, and the party of which he is the organ, has England. now so studiously decried as the ally of rebellion? has there been nothing in the course of her policy to indicate different sentiments and principles ? Why, Sir, I was in this same Paris in the year 1815, when, not a British Minister, but a British Field Mar shal, was here; and when I saw the flag which then, at the price too of the best blood of Britain, was can-1 furled over the heights of Montmartre, I little thought that day would so soon come, when England would be charged with conniving at rebellion ; least of all I did I expect such an accusation from the corps of refugee Nobility who came in the baggage of the' British army, and who owed their reinstatement in their ancient properties, their ancient privileges, and their ancient insolence toi l ßritith arms. This, how ever, is one of those revolutions is the moral world not unfrequently seen, where good services may be forgotten with tolerable security. England is net to be turned from her course by such feeble assaults. She does not forget, that it was the same party which now expresses such horror at the recognition of States, be fore they are de jive, as well as de fado, independent, that sent the pure pavilion made of France.to mingle with the independents of British America, and help them to work out their separation from the Mother Country. The forbearance of England, until all the struggles between the Colonists and Old Spain had ceased, is well known; our offers of mediation ; and, lastly, the space of time we gave to Spain, to take the lead in recognition,. and secure to herself the advantages of being the first—all these are well known, and place the honour of our Cabinet, and of Mr. Se cretary Canning, too high to be affected by the sneers or libels of the Qudidsenne. The doctrine and senti ments, however, above quoted, are by no means out of place in an article, which affects seriously to condemn the recognition of the independence of Hayti, as a com promise of the just tights of the French Crown, and which api till to the presence of French troops, now in Spain, to add weight to its argument.

RE-CAPTURE OF THE BRIG MONARCH► LIVERPOOL, Sarrzwiss 27. This morning the brig Monarch, Captain Mondell, arrived here. It will be recollected, that this vessel was taken by the Brazilian squadron some time ago, for attempting to violate the blockade of Buenos Ayres. The following is an account of the manner in which Captain Mondell succeeded in regaining possession of his vessel. It appears, that after being condemned at Monte Video, a prize master and t wenty-five men, seven of whom were soldiers, were put on board the Monarch for the purpose of navigating her to Rio. Previously, however, to sailing from Monte Video, Captain Mon dell had succeeded in secreting some arms under the bed of the mate, who, with his cook, had been left on board the brig. When within about 200 miles of Rio, Captain Mondell commenced putting in practice his plan for the recovery of the vessel, and having, with the assistance of the mate and cook, succeeded in over powering the prize master and the watch at that time upon deck,he, by threats,obliged him to call up thehands from below, singly; and as each man came up, he was seized by Captain Mondell and delivered to the mate and cook, who pinioned and fastened him to the ring bolts. Thus taken by surprise, scarcely any resistance was offered, with the exception of one black, who ap peared very loth to surrender without some fighting.— The Brazilians being all secured, Captain Mondell was anxious to dispose of them as quickly as possible ; but as their number was too great to render it safe to trust them in a boat with their hands at liberty, unless At a considerable distance from the brig, Captain Mondell took the precaution of placing the long-boat in slings, and into this, after putting on board a stock of provi sions, a compass, and their clothes, he put the Brazi lians, their arms being still pinioned, with the exception of one. The boat was then lowered into the water, and the remaining seaman was put on board, with his hands at liberty, and a knife, for the purpose of setting his comrades at liberty. By this means, sufficient time was allowed for the Monarch to gain such a distance from the boat, as to render vain any attempt on the part of the Braziliansito recapture her. Two of the Brazilians, one of whom is an Officer, voluntered to come with Captain Mondell, and with these two, and his mate and cook, he has succeeded in bringing ie vessel safe into ' this port. The brig Stag, one of the British vessels seized by the Brut ; Hans, sailed from Monte Video two days before the Monarch.— , Captain Mondell is of opinion that Captain Lashley would try to recapture her. It is confidently stated that Lord COCHaitNIt has ar rived at Napoli di Romania, and that the steam-boat and schooner were seen by an English man-ef-war in the Bay. The report, however, is doubted. The state of the iron trade, in the great mining dis tricts of Monmouthshire and South Wales, is said to be worse than it has been for many years. The prices of some descriptions of iron are not, indeed, lower than they have been at some former periods of distress; but they are lower in proportion to the rate of wages, than per• haps they ever have been.—Bad.

Aka • Tqffe, a slight young man, apparently about 26 years of age, was put to the bar, charged with having committed a violent assault upon Charlotte Cullen. Mr. ALLRY, after hiving stated the case to the Jury, called, es first witness, the prosecotrix. Charlotte Cullen entered the witness box, and although a girl belonging to a humble class, displayed to the Cottrt a flee and figure of the most perfect description. Nothing 'Could be more beautiful than the former, and the latter was symmetry itself. She stated that she had known the prisoner for upwards .of two years; that having a holiday on the 18th of August last, given her by her master, Mr. Ward, of Iver, she called on the prisoner at the King's Arms, Uxbridge, where he was ostler; the time she called was. quarter to nine o'clock. The prisoner was her sweetheart, and she was in the habit of keeping company with him. When she saw him, she told him she was going home, and he replied that he would accompany her. They Walked on about half a mile, in the course of which their conversation was not very agreeable; during the next half mile, which brought them to Cowley-bridge, they did not converse. Upon their arrival at this spot the prisoner attempted to take liberties with her, but she re sisted ; he then threw her into the river, from a height of ten or twelve feet; she screamed, and two men came to her assi,tance, who tack her out of the water, and brought her to their cottage, where she found her self next morning. She was completely insensibleirom the time she had been thrown into the water until the following morning. She said that the prisoner came to her the next morning, and wilted her ss nether she had said,that it was hint who threw her into the water ? to which she made no answer. Mr. Green, the cura.e of the parish, who was in the room, said she owed it to Goo and man to say whether or not the prisoner was guilty ? She then faintly said ei No." In reply to air; Aux?, she said it was fear on the young man's account that induced her to say so. The witness, on her cross-examination by Mr. Bole LA ND, admitted that she had been very fond of the pri soner. She could not explain why she swore against the prisoner, after having denied that he had been pay of the offence imputed to him. She denied that Miss Rowden, her master's sister-in-law, asked her whether the prisoner had taken any liberties with her, and she, of course, could not have told her that he did not. Samuel Newport recollected the night of the 10th of August ; while going to bed he heard a scream and a splash in the water; he instantly rushed out, attended by his brother•in-law, John Clarke, and found the pro. secutrix partly lying in the water, her arm in the mud, and her chin just above the surface. She was so ex hausted that she could not be understood, except upon one occasion ; when asked who threw her into the stream? she exclaimed, "Oh, the ostler ! the ostler of the King's Arms—fetch hint to me I' He (witness) and his brother ia•law brought her to his cottage, after which he and Clarke went to the King's Arms at Uxbridge, and saw the prisoner, who exclaimed, " You need not tell me anything; she has come to no harm by me; it is my own happiness and not hers that I loOk to." This wi t ness, upon being cross-examined, said that two persons, named London and Jones saw the girl at the cottage, and that it was nearly eleven o'clock before be saw the prisoner. John Clarke corroborated the testimony of the last witness. The case for the prosecution closed here.i Mr. BOLLAND addressed the Jury for the prisoner, and said that in attempting to overturn the case made oet against his client, he had to contend with many pardonable prejudices. The first was, the charge, which, it true, nothing could possibly be mote brutal. The next was, that the charge was made by a woman, and a woman too of such prepossessing appearance that to suppose an untruth could possibly escape from her mouth, would be almost a sacrilege to her loveliness Mr. Belland then went on to contend that it was jea lousy that induced the prosecutrix to attempt to drown herself in consequence of the careless manner in which he had treated her; for, said the Learned Gentlemen, by her own :hewing, they had not spoken for a consi derable time, in consequence of a previous quarrel. He remembered a case in which a young woman was found drowned, in Hertford, and an eminent Counsel, who afterwards became Lord Chancellor of England, was accused of the murder. The evidence in the case, al though circumstantial, was much more pageant than that given against his client, yet the Jury came to a de cision alike honourable to themselves, and advantageous to society. And, what must be truly gratifying to them, it came out some time afterwards that their verdict was correct. What lie (Mr. B.) considered very strange in the present case was, that aftet the prosecutrix had de nied that the prisoner had thrown her into the river, her swearing against him. Edward Grimstone deposed that the prosecutrix told him, the next morning, that the prisoner pushed her into the river, and, in reply to Miss Rowden, she denied that the prisoner had taken im proper liberties with her. Mr. Green, curate of Iver, said he had taken the pro- secutrix home from the cottage to which she had been brought. }le asked her whether or not she had been thrown into the river ? and she replied, « the ostler at the King's Arms will tell you all about it." The wit ness went to Mr. Clarke, the Magistrate, who desired him to get all the particulars from the girl ; in conse quence of which, he again asked her about the affair? when she said that the prisoner and herself were walking along, when he pushed her into the river. Mr. Bow den, who was in the room, asked her if the prisoner took improper liberties with her? which she denied. When the prisoner came to her, although she refused to speak at first, yet she afterwards said, three times, that the prisoner did not throw her into the river. A man named Murray, said he measured the bridge and the depth of the water, and found that t►e former was from three to four feet high, and that the latter was only two feet ten inches. John Farley, a larder, said, that he called on the prisoner the night of the transaction about 11 o'clock, and upon his (witness's) challenging him with throwing Charlotte Cullen into the river, he positively denied it. Mr. Bou.axo said that this accounted for the prisoner's exclama tion to the witnesses for the prosecution. The master of Taffe gave him an excellent character. London and Jones proved that the girl was perfectly In her senses after coming oat of the water. Mr. Au.sv commented at some length on the testimony given for the prisoner. After which the Czatisum summed up the evidence. The Jury retired for a short time, and returned a verdict of Gat,. Despatches were received at the Foreign Office yes terday, from Mr. Secretary CAMINO, at Paris. Letters received from the Coast and Mining Districts of Cornwall, state the success of the pilchard fishery, and very considerable improvement in the sale of copper ores, which have advanced in price, within a very few weeks, so as to nearly equal to 201. per ton of copper. Fruit is in such profusion at Chichester, that pears are sold at tkree-penee, and apples at two-pence a gallon I and grapes have been sold at a penny per lb. but then it most be added that mush illness prevails in the neighbourhood, probably produced by this very pliftty.

The principal novelty in die caste was the appearance of a Mr. Byrum from Dublin, in the part of Sir Lucius (Y Trigger.

FIR! tN GUTTER LANZ, CHZAPSIDIL—About two yesterday morning, the back premises of the Horns public-heuse, kept by Mr. Mitcham, in Gutter-lane, Cheapside, was discovered to be on fire, and from the rapidity with which it burnt, the greatest alarm was en tet tained for the lives of the inmates, and the safety of the adjoining houses. Fortunately, however, the family was speedily alarmed by the watchmen of their danger, and the neighbours were so prompt in their assistance, that they wete all preserved from their perilous situa tion without receiving any serioua injury, but without any other covering than their night clothes. The timely arrival of the firemen and engines, with a good supply of water, preserved the houses immediately adjoining, though not without some damage from the destruction suffered by the Horns. The fite, in a short time, com municated to the back premises of the Cross Keys Tavern, in Wood -street, Cheapside; and, from the large quantity of spirits in the cellars of both houses, great fears were entertained for the safety of that large establishment. The firemen, by their exertions, bow every preserved the Cross Keys from total destruction, although the back premises ate much damaged. It is said that Mr. Mitcham's house and property are in sured. The fire was got under by nine o'clock.
