Letters from Tiflis announce that, daring the first days of May, 14,000 men of all arms passed through that city, to reinforce the army of General Paskewitsch. This General had, nevertheless, dispatched a courier to his Sovereign to demand new reinforce ments. At the date of these letters, mention was made, at Tills, of military events which took place near Akalsike, on the issue of which there were some doubts. According to orders from St. Petersburgb, a corps of observation, • consisting of about 15,000 men, has been established on the Arases.

NEWBERY and SONS, are the discovery of a Physii . cian of the first emi nence at the present time., an extensive practice for some years he has employed them in the most obstinate Bilious Cases with unvarying success. They operate principally as a deobstrnent and purgative ; they promote a proper action of the liver in the secre tion of bile, or correct it when in a vitiated state. Obstructions of the stomach and bowels are gradually removed ; and by giving tone to the biliary ducts and strength to the system, they afford relief to those who suffer frog, nervous attacks, sick bead-ache, giddiness, indigestion, and gooty,affeetion. The Bilious Pills have the name " F. Newbery" engraved in the Government Stamp on each Box, and are sold at Nu. 45, St. Paul's Church Yard; and by J. Sanger, 150, Oxford.4treet, London ; W.

The Council of the &tabSibs:tents of Credit having assembled on the 29th of June for the revision of the accoants of the said establishosenu, as ordained by the Imperial Manifesto of the 19th of May, 1817, the Minister of Finance, General of Infantry, opened the sitting with a speech, from which the following is an extract : s' Yon know, gentlemen, the advantageous terms on which the loan opened in Holland was made, and she rapidity with which the three series of that loan, amounting to 18 millions of florins, were flied up. A sum so moderate cannot certainty be looked upon as a burdensome charge to the State; nevertheless all the expenses for the war of 1828 and 1829 are provided for, leaving a very con siderable surplus, and the Minister of Finance entertains the certain hope of openiqg further resources as soon as the necessity for doing so shall present itself. As to our credit both at home and abroad, it is known that our public funds, far from being unfavourably affected by the events of the year 1828, have continued to maintain the same rote as those which enjoy a marked confidence on the part of the public. Our course of exchange is kept op at an advanta- geous rate, and notwithstanding the necessities of the war the Agin on metallic currency has fallen a little." GIBRALTAR, July 2. • M. Bertocci, the Austrian Consul at this place, has addressed a note to the Foreign Consuls at Gibraltar, in which he informs them that, in consevience of the Emperor of Morocco refusing to accept the friendly offers made to him by the Austrian Ambassador, in the name of his august Majt•sty the Emperor, his master, wilt alter the system of moderation which he has pursued hitherto, and Will adopt a firth and hostile course. Consequently, he declares that the Austrians will blockade some of the ports of the Emperor of Morocco ; but as the intendon of his august Majesty is sot to prejudice the commerce of friendly nations, the blockade will have no other object than to to hinder the introduction of arms, war.

FRENCH PAPERS. From the the Message? des Chambres. PARIS, Juz 19. The Censtitstienssel publishes today a letter from its correSpon dent at Bawls, which relates the arrival of Galotti at Naples, thirty-six hours after his departure from Corsica, and his condem nhtion and sudden execution the day after his arrival, and the hour at which the sacrifice was consummated. The Certstartiortisei ar dently desires that its correspondent may be mistaken ; but this correspondent is very worthy of credit, and the Minister is silent. These circumstances altogether have induced It to publish this letter. If we recollect rightly, it was on the 30th of May that ()algid was delivered up to the Neapolitan officer. His execution, therefore, must have taken place on the ad or 4th of June, and not secretly. for this event caused a lively and painful sensation to manifest itself, as if a public calamity had befallen the country.— How could the Conshlettionnei imagine that this news should not arrive at Paris till forty days afterwards, and by letters from Bastia? How came it not to feel some doubt en comparing these dates? The letter which it publishes, and which gives news from Naples of June 4, is dated the 27th. We can affirm that on the Ist July Galotti bad nor even been put upon his trial. On the 12th July letters from Constantinople, dated the 26th June ' arrived at Vienna : they say that the two events which had the most at tracted public attention during the last fortnight were the arrival of the French and English Ambassadors and the news from the theatre of war, only that the Government is wholly silent with respect to the latter, while it does every thing to impress upon the people the value it attaches to the re-establishment of triendly relations with those two Courts. Hence we have only imperfect accounts of the events at Shunsla; they merely state that the Grand Vizier, going with part of his army to relieve Silistria, had attacked, between the 10th and 12th June, a considerable Russian- corps which was to cover the siege, and de feated it ; but the enemy's Commander-In-Chief having learned, by the capture of a courier, of the manmovre of the Grand Vizier, assembled with all poe•ible speed a body of troops so superior, that he not only deprived the Turks of all their advantage., of the tro phies which they bad just obtained, with a number of prisoners, and ten pieces of cannon but the Grand Vizier found him se lf i n such a critical situation, t hat it was with great difficulty, and with a great loss of men that he succeeded in effecting his retreat through the dales, and in regaining his bead quarters at Shumla. There is De positive account at Constantinople, either of the day when the battle was • fought, or of the loss on either side, or of the present position of the two armies ' • it is only known that the Grand Vizier is at Shumla , w h ere he Is exerting himself I to repair his losses. It cannot be concealed that Paravadi remains in the bands of the Russians, who molest the communication of the Grand Vi der with the capital. All this bad news prepares the public to expect the tall of Sifistria. There are no accounts from I the other points of the theatre of war, nor from Asia. The Turkish 'fleet, since its cruise in the Sleek Sea, from which it returned on the 16th June, without having met with the enemy, has remained at an char at the entrance at the Bosphorus. The French and English sub jeers at Constantinople are now again under the immediate protec tion of their respective ambassadors. The Sultan,wbu still resides at Terapia, celebrated, on the 12th of this month, the solemn festival of the Kurban-Beirain, under the magnificent tents erected in the immense plain between Terapia and Bujukdere. It was tbere that be received the compliments of the great officers of State, and per sons of distinction. There too he will give audience to the two ambassadors, who have lately arrived; but the ceremony will be much more simple than usual. The sanitary state of the capital and its environs is perfectly satisfactory ; but diseases are said to prevail in the camp at Shumla, and in the fleet. From the The brothers Donato Capes°li, aged 40 ; Patsies:l Capetian, aged 38 ; Doralnico Caporsoll, aged 28 ; and Pascal &wok aged 45, who were tried, not by a regular tribunal, but by a military commission, and condemned to death on the ii.ld of Ameba, were shot en the 27th at Fellows, en the wry spot where the telegraph was thrown down in the political disturbance of the month of June, 1898. The J016,1111' of the Two Sicilia, which speaks of this san guinary carnation, publishes fume of the facts charged against the criminals. It amnia, itself to general terms le speaking of them, as. wrt t. hes, madmen, incendiAries, such as the Vann', the Guido 'midi, the Damiani, and their accomplices, employed in speaking of Cirillo, Canceled°, hlanthuni, and all the victims sacrificed by the Neapolitan Juntas, from that of Caccia to that of Spesiall. The joorital says nothing about Galotd ; hut Pascal Road was, like Galotti. a fugitive in France, for Corsica Is a department of the kingdobt. As in the case of Galotti, it is in violation nt (beliefs of bovltatity and the rights of nation► that linssi was given ap to the Neapolitan agents, and Rossi has been shot!' _.1... MALTA, MAY 2!. On the 19th of May a Piracy Court was held here, for the trial of four Greeks, brought to this island by his Majesty's brig Alacrity, Captain Nlas. The Commissioners were Sir Jobn &oddest, Sir Frederick Hsnkey, Sir Thomas Stains, and Captain Hayes. The prisoners were arraigned on two different indictments : the one for robbing an lonian bombard, St. Nicolo; the other for rob bing the lonian schooner, Minerva, both in or near the Gulf of Salonica, in Dec. last. The Grand Jury, on the 19th, found true bills on both indictments. On the 20th a jury, composed of five English and seven foreigners, was impannelled to try the prisoners on the first indictment, that is, for the robbery of the bombard. From the variety of languages into which it was incumbent to interpret the evidence—Greek, Turkish, Italian, and English—the trial continued until the evening of the 22d, when the Jury retired, l and, after two hours' deliberation, returned with a verdict of Guilty against the master, Theodore Pertarinos, and Demitre Piteca, his palicare er assistant. The other two were Janni Mar rancubo and Janni j these two men were not pirates; they had been hired at three piastres a day to row the boat from Volo to Treeary, and were detained on board, miens, miens ; they were declared innocent. On the 23d, at eleven o'clock, the Court met, when sentence of death was pronounced ; and the two who were acquitted were remanded to prison, to be tried on the second indictment. The Court was declared adjourned until 13th June. It is not expected, however, that the trial will be proceeded in. The palicare Decilitre Piteca, a most determined young villain, not yet nineteen years of age, and who has been guilty of the greatest atrocities, when he was taken, said be *as wounded by a shot in the eye, and persisted in it, until he was examined by the surgeon of the Alacrity, but no wound was found, excepting a small black mark on the arch under the eye brow. He aid—" I know no ball can enter my flesh, I have a charm against it—a bit of the true cross of CHRIST, which a person wearing on his person can never be injured by a ball." The Greek pilot of the Alacrity possessed himself of this precious relic, which is not so large as a cartaway seed, and preserved in melted wax. The pall , care being asked what proof he had of the immunity of the charm, said, that he and several of his companions laid it on the back of a lamb, which they tied to a tree, and each fired several shots at it ; they saw the balls strike the lamb and fly off, bat the animal re mained uninjured!!

The late news from Havannah has set curiosity at work to de termine whether the invasion of Mexico is s►riously contemplated by Spain, or whether all this " pomp and circumstance" is merely a feint for the accomplishment of purposes best known to the power that moves the springs.—For ourselves, we incline to the' former opinion—l st, because it Is in perfect keeping with the whole line of conduct pursued by Spain since the independence of her colonies; and 2d, because we can see no object to be gained by a mere feint, which would at all compensate for the trouble and ex pense of the expedition. To other nations than Spain, it has long been apparent that the possession of her former colonies was for ever lost to her; but she, although holding not a foot of soil on the American continent, has not to this day acknowledged their inde pendence, and seems honestly to suppose that by might of magic, by hook or by crook, she shall yet regain the sovereignty she has lost The expedition fitting out at Havannah is a legitimate result of this infatuation ; and supposing it destined against Mexico, is at least as well contrived, and as promptly gut up, as most other expeditions set on foot by his Catholic Majesty for the maintenance or recovery of his dominion in the West. Not that we suppose there is the least chance of success; although doubtless a landing may be effected, and possibly as much suffering occasioned to the Mexicans as will be experienced by the invaders. But what are 5,000 men fur the invasion of such a country as Mexico? And as to the 20,000 troop• from Spain, who are to reinforce the expedi don, it is probable but few or none of them will ever arrive. No argument, however, can be drawn against the probability of the proposed undertaking, from the hopelessness of success, for counting the cost is not a matter with which the King of Spain is familiar, either in affairs of a political or financial nature. Driven on by a blind destiny—the same which has reduced his country from being the mistress of Europe, to such a ►tate of depression that it scarcely occupies a.place in the calendar of nations—encouraged, perhaps, by the late disorganizing movements in Mexico—and writhing under the loss of 2,000,000 dollars per annum, which he used to receive from it as a reward for his oppression—how can it be thought strange, that with the feeble means which be possesses, he should attempt once more to bring it under subjection? To this course he would be urged the rather, by the remonstraw:es which have been, or are likely to be, made by other European Ge -1 vernments, in accordance with numerous petitions from their respective subjects, against refusing to acknowledge the inde pendence of the new republic% notwithstanding he had ceased all efforts to regain them. The folly of this expedition appears to have been well under stood by Governor Vives and Admiral Laborde, who (according to an unpublished letter from Havannah), after receiving the first older to make a descent upon Mexico, took upon themselves the responsibility of postponing its execution until they should have re ptesented to his Majesty the dangerous nature of the undertaking, and begged his reconsideration of the purpose he had formed. His reply was a peremptory repetition of the order. If it be supposed that the expedition is only intended as a feint, we ask what can be the object of such a feint? Not, surely, to intimidate the Mexicans into submission; for this would be more ridiculous than even the proposed invasion. Not to make an attack upon Colombia ; for there an army would be met, quite as efficient, hoot so numerous, as that of Mexico ; while the possession of the country, if by possibility it should be re-conquered, would be of far less value. These are the only Spanish republics which lie within the region of the point of attack, except Guatemala ; w►ich undoubtedly has shown itself worthy of being re-committed to the arms of its tyrant mother, though we doubt if she would be anxious to receive it. IMPORTANT FROM COLOMBIA. We learn from the passengers who arrived on Saturday in the Isckooner Chatham, in twenty-two days from Porto Cabello, that a shoretime before their departure a proclamation was received from Bogota, and read in the streets of Porto Cabello, stating that war bad been again declared by Colombia against Peru. A frigate and two sloops of war were lying at Porto Cabello, and another frigate was expected daily. The whole would be put into service as soon as provisions shou:l be received from the United States, which bad been orderd some time previous- The gentlemen beard the proclamation read ; yet we cannot but hope there is some mistake about the matter. AMERICAS Locuars.—A letter from Augusta, in eisorgia, tidied Ilth ult. says that "The locusts, which are nume rous so the swamp and the oak woods in this vicinity, aredebtroy lug the leases of the (tun and forest trees in some parts of toe country. They h ,ye not yet attacked the growing crop—they are so numerous in the swamps below this city, that a respectable planter told us the other days that kis bogs were getting fat oo them. They art small—but little larger than the large horse fly— ' and make a noise like the free hug." The outrageous extent to which the new Pre-ident carried his proscription of the office holders who took part against him in the late election is disgusting many of his friends, and lead ing to a reaction of feeling which may deprive him of a large por tion of his popularity. The patronage of the President is very great ; and General Jackson is resolved to exercise his power to the Istutost. He Is sweeping cam adherent of Mr. Adams out of the public offices; not one, however long and valuable his services, does he suffer to remain. The whole Cabinet is changed, and the subordinate officers under the government are undergoing purifi - cation. He bas recalled two foreign envoys ; and not a postmaster throughout the Union will soon be left who is not a zealous sup porter of General Jackson. His political antipathies have led him to dismiss even the brewer and milkman who till lately always sup plied the President's house. The editors of the scurrilous papers who backed the General during his election are appointed to the vacant offices ; and se reckless is the Gallant President himself how be serves his friends, and so ready is he for that purpose even to trample on the laws, that be has ordered the libra rian of Congress to vacate. hls office in favour of Mr. Meehan, one of his retained libellers. Mr. Watterston, the librarian, stands upon the law. by which be cannot be removed until a successor is legally appointed and approved by the President of the Senate and Speaker of the House of Representatives. This act is cha racterised in the papers as a high handed, illegal procedure of the President, for which he is liable to impeachment." Every public office will be filled by the partisans of this military chief.— The discarded placemen are going back with heavy hearts to their former pursuits. Mr. Adams himself has retired to the family seat at Quincy, in Massachusetts, to which his father withdrew twenty eight years ago, on a similar defeat by Mr. Jefferson. Where the legitimate power of General Jackson cannot reach his adversaries directly, he succeeds in ousting them by some sinister artifice.— Colonel lie Witt Clinton is connected by ties of relationship-with the friends of Mr. Adams. Ile was employed as engineer in chief to a division of the great Pennsylvania canal. His name was offensive to the hero of New Orleans ; and as there was no pretext for dis missing se able and excellent an officer as Colonel C liton, the President resolved to place him in a position in which his sense of honour and duty would compel him to resign. The engineer was responsible for the complete execution of the work he superin tended ; but, by some new regulations, he was deprived of 1 1 nearly all the power he possessed, which was transferred to the acting commissioner, whose orders were obeyed in contradiction to the engineer's. Colonel Clinton had no alternative ' • he resigned his office ; and a militaty comrade of Jackson's enjoys the lucrative employment. The people of Lewistown, in Pennsylvania, who are much interested in the canal, gave him a public dinner to mark their approbation of his conduct. Mr. Clay, the late Secretary of State, and the intended competitor of the Presidency at the next election, has gone back to Ms native State, Kentucky, where be has met his old constituents, and delivered an eloquent and effec tive speech, denouncing the proscriptive policy of the ascendant party, and contrasting it with that of all the Governments that have preceded it. There were some removals from office when Mr. Jefferson came into power, but his object was merely to pre vent a monopoly of office in hands which would have emitarrasseii his Government, and not to establish p monopoly in the hands of his friends. General Jackson will probably find out at last that be cannot satisfy all his followers, and the malcontents will soon be come his enemies, while his violence is losing Wu the countenance and support of hls best friends. FOREIGN NOTICES. • There is an amusing article in a late number of the Quotisfienne, purporting to give an account of the periodical press of Great Britain. Almost every sentence contains a gross blunder. This is the mot's inexcusable, u the writer, though be has sadly disfigured the original, has evidently been poaching on a lisreilou journal, which had furnished a tolerably accurate s:atentent. But the carekesoess of the French in acquiring knowledge of English habits, and customs, and institutions, is all but incurable. The Chamber of Deputies held its last sitting " for the dispatch of business," on the 16th inst. At the close of the sitting the President announced the resignation of the Marquis de Chau velin and the Marquis de Voyer d'Argenson, two of the most dis tinguished members of the opposition. M. Benjamin Constant, in a kites published in the Cormier Fressfaii, attributes this double resignation to dis gement. Mademoiselle d'Orleans, sister of the Royal Duke, has a seat at Raudan, in Auvergne, where the Princess has established a great number of benevolent institutions. Among them are a lace-school for girls; a school of drawing and elementary archi tecture (or workmen ; an evening school for workmen and artists ; a school of mutual instruction for girls ; a gratuitous pharmacy, and a school of mutual instruction for all the childien of Raudan and the environs.—Galignoni's Meastsger. The Quotidienne says—" By a recent decision the number of his Majesty's aldea-de-caosp is fixed as follows :—The King will have twelve aides-de-camp, being general officer. or colonels; the Dauphin will have two general officers and tour superior officers ; the Duke of Bordeaux, the same number ; and the Princes of the Blood, one general officer, and four superior officers." Information to the 20th of May has been received from the Havannah, confirming the news of the extensive prepa rations there for the equipment of an expedition for Mexico, and it is said that as soon as that should have been got ready, another wiLl be immediately set on foot to proceed against Colombia. Charleston papers have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house to the 27th June. The New York Morning Herald observes—" How singular and bow strong are prejudices in favour of English goods, when such as are made at home, of equal or superior quality, must be called English, in order to command a ready market mid a full pike. In this way the twelve thousand pieces of Calico, manufactured at Hudson every asooth, find a market at'New York ; and the merchants send them to clothe the fair of the South." The following paragraph appears in Galignarti's Mes senger. The Nlr. Hendricks mentioned was formerly a member of the Stock li:chaise in this country, and proictor of many on successul joint stock companies :—" Extract of a private letter of the 15th ult. (rum New York : ' A duel took place near this city the day before yesterday, between Mr. H. Hendricks, lately ar rived from France, and Air. Chaudoin, from England. The fir-t lire was ineffectual, when the seconds vainly endeavoured to bri.ig about a reconcLiation ; Mr. Hendricks i:isisting on a written do cument being signed by Mr. Chaudoin. explanatory of a cireuni stance which took place in London some time since, and by which Mr. Hendricks became a serious sufferer.
