FII.4NCE. grow the Messager s Chambres, dated Wednesday, August 25.] PARIS, Auo. 24. Ofiicial information is every moment expected of the acknowle4gment of the new French Government by the great Powers of Europe. DEPUTATION FROM THE ENGLISH SOCIETY OF THE FRIENDS of PARLIAMENTARY REFORM. We mentioned yesterday the reception of the English Commissioners st the Town-Hall. We subjoin some passages from the speeches of Messrs. Beevor and Cobbett. Sit T. BEEVOR said:— " Gentlemen,—l regret that I an+ unable to address you in your own language : however, this regret is diminished by the certainty I feel that many of you understand English. The address which I pre sent to the city of Paris, was unanimously agreed to, and voted by an im mense majority of the Society of Radical Reform in London, at a dinner amid' took place on the 16th instant, to celebrate the anniversary of the memorable day when a great massacre of men, women, and children, rained with olood the city of .Manchester, in 1819. lam happy to have been specially chosen to present this address, which transmits to you the sentiments of several millions of my countrymen, and I con sider this the most glorious day of my life. From one end of England to the other, people admire the courageous and noble conduct of the po. pulation of Paris during the late events. Even the aristocracy cannot refuse i s admiration to your great deeds, though it trembles at their results. May your example serve as a warning to tyrants, and an encouragement to the oppressed in all parts of the world! Frenchmen England wishes that the liberty which you have sealed with the blood of your countrymen, may last for ever, and that the friendly relations between our two nations may never be impaired." The address of Mr. James Cobbett was to the following drat Gentlemen,—As one of the members of the English Society which voted the address that Sir Thomas &woe and myself arc commissioned to present to you, it would be depriving myself of the greatest satisfac tion that I have experienced in my life, if I denied myself the honour of pronouncing a few words on this occasion. Gentlemen, the feeble tes timonies we offer you of our lively admiration, and the subscription fur the wounded, the widows, and the orphans, of the victims of your great work, in which all England takes part, will not be the only ptoofs of our sympathy. At this moment there is every thing to cause a long and durable peace ; but if any hostile power should disturb you, and attempt to trouble the great triumph which you have obtained, you would see England sweep away all the obstacles which arc still met with on its own soil, to hasten and rally with you under the tricoloured flag."— The Prefect received these Deputies with great respect, and invited them to dinner. ALGIERS, AUG. s.—The service of the hospitals is very ill attended to; and our sick often have not even broth sometimes brought to Al-1 giers to he conveyed to the hospital ; they remain for hours at the gate of the city, exposed to a burning sun. On the 23d flee meta di,d on the road ; and on the 25th, three died at the gate of the city, where they were left. The intendant pretends that there is no worn ; this is not correct ; and if there is not room, is there not the Vassabs, which should be assigned to our unfortunate soldiers, by whom the con. t quest was effected, rather than certain boudoirs and saloons foe! petits niailr , s of the Staff. who wish to transplant to Africa their French coquetry ; it would contain 4COO or 5000 sick. General Der thezene, to whom many complaints have been made respecting the delays in the supply of provisions, has threatened to bring the guilty authors of this negligence before a court-martial. On the 27th, fresh complaints being made to him, he wrote to the chief of the staff, but the letter has produced little effect, and things go on as before. A Colonel has been heard to say, that unless the supply of provisions were more regular, he would send a company to the port of Algiers to stop every thing going out. Thanks to the robberies of the great men of the army, the immense treasures of the Dey are estimated at only 49,000,0001. It is known, however, that there were 140 millions in the Cassaba. Probably very strict orders will be sent to the Custom-houses in France to examine all packages coming to this country, whatever direction may be on them. All articles stopped which may be the fruits of pillage, should doubtless be the property of the State. In no campaign have so many men, with large epaulettes, been seen engaged in pillage; accordingly very few of ,hem were on the field of battle. Every body does justice to those who were in the fire, while the others were plundering. Twenty Turks of distinction are on board the Alcibiades brig, supposed to be hostages tor the tranquillity of the country. According to various accounts the rebellious Arabs were to attack our troops on the 4th. How ever, the day passed over, and there is no sign of any agitation. BAY or ALGIERS, AUG. 7.—A transport will take to Toulon a brass cannon, to the mouth of which the French Consul was bound dur ing the bombardment of Algiers by Duquesne, on which account it has ever since been called the consular cannon. Workmen arc still em ployed in forming two or three squares and some streets, in which artil lery may be used. These works will greatly add to the security of the conquest ; but only those who know Algiers, and the manner in which the streets and houses are disposed, can form an idea of what must be demolished tor this purpose. No further signs of insurrection have been manifested either within or without the city. It appears that the exe cution last week had a good effect. CHAMBER OF PEERS, Atm. 23. The President took the chair at two o'clock. The Duke of Orleans attended in his place. The President communicated to the Chamber several letters from Noble Peers, announcing their speedy arrival to take the oath and their seats. A letter from the Marquis de Perignon, stating that be coincided in a part of the principles avowed by the Viscount de Chateaubriand, and that he gave in his resignation upon the same grounds as Viscount d'Ambray, was read. The Duke FITZ.JAMES rose to address the Chamber in reference to the letter of the Marquis de Rouge. The Noble Peer said, " Since the sitting at which 1 took the oath, I have not seen the Marquis de &pup, the Peer said to have signed a letter published in the Quoti- Menne, which gave rise to a discussion at the last sitting. I think it my duty to make this declaration before I enter upon the matter in question, because I feel that I have to deal with a Ministry that is somewhat captious." The Noble Peer repeated that, when he took the oath, he thought he was following the wishes of him whose misfortunes he respected ; but, at the same time, he had no reservation, and pronounced the oath as a man of honour. The Duke then took leave to tell Ministers that it was but a pitiful opening of their career, to criticise letters and give a forced construc tion to words which may have slipped from the pen. lie thought it would be better for them to occupy themselves with more important cares, and think of the public good, and prepare against the storms that were gathering over their heads (strong sensation). They should, above all things, endeavour to satisfy the country that the revolution accom plished by the public would promote the public interests and the laws, and not merely serve the interests of a party who abused the victory, by using it for the indulgence of their private resentment. He concluded by expressing a hope that ministers would not believe that any Peers re tained opinions or sentiments different from those they had avowed.— The Duke s's• Broglie, Minister of Public Instruction, replied that it was not his disposition to search too deeply into men's consciences, but that when motives for taking an oath were publicly assigned, the very act made them liable to discussion. The President then read a letter front the Marquis de Rouge, avowing himself to be the writer of the letter published in the Quolidienne, but at the same time declaring that he took the oath purely and simply. The Chamber declared itself sa tisfied with the explanations given. Count Simeon, Reporter of the Committee appointed to take into consideration the letter addressed to the President by the Prince de Polignac, rose and addressed the Cham ber to the following effect : Gentlemen,—The grand and terrible event which has just changed the entire face of France, has given rise to the arrest of several of the ministers of the late government, members of the Chamber of Peers or ..1 tlie Chamber of Deputies, who are protected by articles 29 and 44 of the ( harter. the former article declares that no Peer can be arrested without the authority of the Chamber; the latter, that no member of the Chamber of Deputies can be arrested or prosecuted in criminal matters during a session, unless taken in fkiranti deficit), until after the (*handier has granted its permission. The penal code awards a severe punishment to an infraction of this constitutional decree, unless in the ease of fitlyraati deficit), or public clamour. This guarantee, which, no doubt, prevented the local authorities proceeding beyond the mere arrest and detention warrantee! by the public clamour which existed, is that a hich Prince de Polignac claims by his letter of 12th inst. from Sta.°, ad. dressed to the President of this Chamber. The Minister of Justice has also considered it his duty to acquaint the Chamber with the arrest and de tention of the Prince de Polignac at St Do, and the Count de Peg ronnet at Tot:re, in order that in consequence of the impeachment against them proposed by the Chamber of Deputies, the Chamber of Peers in its wisdom may take such measures as to them may seem meet. The letter of the Minister of Justice to the President of this Chamber, dated the 21st inst. together with that of the Prince de Polignac, were referred to the committee, as whose organ 1 have the honour to make a report to you upon the subject. The committee conceived that there were two queztions for their consideration : I. Whether the guarantee could be claimed ? '2. If it could, what measures the Chamber ought to adopt ? Upon the first question we do not think that the responsibility Attached to the office of Minister, deprives Ministers who are Peers or Deputies of the guarantee granted to them by thecharter. Every Minister who is a Peer or Deputy is liable to be called upon to take part in the deliberations of the Chamber of which he is a Member. They must not therefore be prevented by any arrest which the officers of Justice may allow themselves to execute, sometimes through an excess .a zeal and at others with a culpable view, in order to prevent a Feet or Deputy, whether Minister or not, from biking a part in a discussion in which their influence is feared. This guarantee is given less to the person than to the public good, to the freedom of de bate, and the regular march of the Government. It is suf f icient tar the p ur p oses o f j ust i ce, w hi c h are t h e power o f appre h en di ng ' :my person accused of a crime or offence, that Peers or Deputies' may be arrested without any express warrant from their respec tive Chambers, if found in flayranti defied°, or where a public clamour exists ; in such cases the arrest is urgent, necessary, and just. subject to explanations which may cause it either to cease or to be maintained, according to the decision of the Chamber to which the person arrested may belong. There is, in our opinion, the less doubt that the quality of Minister does not deprive a Peer or a De puty of the protection which belongs to him as such, as, accorchsg to Art. 21 of the Penal Code, this protection is guaranteed to Ministers who are not either Peers or Deputies. This being admitted, the next question is. what steps ought the Chamber to take in this eau ? If a Peer or a Deputy were arrested and detained for a slight offence, or upon weak or doubtful evidence, we should unquestionably insist upon the protection granted to him. But the Prince de Polignac has been ar rested in consequence of a public clamour which has pursued hint by reason of acts which may bring upon him a vast responsibility. We have been officially informed that the Chamber of Deputies is pre• paring an act of impeachment against him ; and who, under such circumstances, could entertain a thought of sheltering him front so high an accuser ? It appears that the Prince de Polignuc considers himself as not guilty, since he asks permission to retire abroad. It is not by a hasty liberation, which would amount to an escape, that he ought to obtain the power of doing so. Ile has the right, as it will be his duty, to defend his innocence; he will be al. lowed every means, and will be tried by upright and impartial Judges ; but to set him at liberty would be the greatest, and at the same time the most incredible, denial of justice that can be conceived. Since he is under arrest, it is impossible not to suffer the law to take its course, and pronounce upon his guilt or innocence. We have no need, as some Noble Peers think, to be formed into a Court of Jus tice to come to a decision upon the application of the Prince de Po lignac. We shall not be executing a judicial act ; we shall be merely refraining front demanding in his favour the Constitutional guarantee. We are not about to issue any warrant against him ; we shall he merely authorising a detention, which, in fact, has not been made by any order of ours; we allow it to be available, because it has been called for by public clamour imputing to him grave and recent se rious offences. We grant this authority not as Judges, because there is not as yet before us any form of process, but as Members of one of the two Chambers, each of which has the right of putting an end to a de tention made without its consent. I have not made any mention of M. de Peyronnet, because he has lost, by Article 78 of the Charter, his right arising out of the character and quality of a Peer. The impeach ment with which he is threatened will, nevertheless, he judged by this Chamber, for the two-fold reason that the misdemeanours imputed to him were committed when he was a Peer, and because all impeachments brought by the Chamber of Deputies against a Minister must be tried before the Chamber of Peers. But it toes not belong to us to authorise his detention, since he is no longer a Peer. Ile himself tacitly acknowledges this by not making any appeal to us, as the Prince de Polignac has done, wi:it whose arrest alone we have to occupy ourselves. With regard to him, I have the honour to pro. pose the following resolution :—llaving considered a letter signed Prince de Polignae, written from St. Lo, dated the 17th of August, and addres,ed to the Piesidcnt of the Chamber of Peers, by witich, after announcing that he was kept in detention, he claims the bene. tit of article 29 of the Constitutional Charter, promulgated the 14th instant. Ilaving considered the letter of the Minister of Justice dated the 21st instant, by which he informs the Chamber that the Prince d: Polignac had been arrested at St. Lo, and the Count de Peyronnet at Tours, in consequence of public clamour, ns authors of acts which form the matter of an impeachment at this moment proposed to the Chamber of Deputies, and by which he invites this Chamber to take such mea. sures as it may think fit, this Chamber has come to the following de cision :_ln conformity with Art. 29 of the Constitutional Charter, the Chamber of Peers authorizes the arrest of the Prince de Polignac made at St. Lo. As to the arrest of the Count de Peyronnet, made at Tours, after considering Art. 78 of the Charter, the Chamber declares that there are no grounds for taking it into consideration. The Chamber of Peers charges its President to transmit this decision to the Minister of Justice." The proposition TM adopted. The President announced a message front the Deputies, accompanied by two law pr.,- jects—one relating to pensions to be granted to the wounded, and the widows and orphans of those who fell in the late contest, and the other relating to the new oath. A report was then brought up from the Pe tition Committee ; after which the Chamber adjourned. CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES. Aro. 21 11. I AFITTE, V ice. President. took the Clair at one o'clock. After some preliminary business, the President, M. Casimir Perrier, whose place as President of the Chamber I occupy, has written me the fol lowing letter:— " The circumstances which induced me to accept, for the moment, the Presidency of the Chamber, having ceased to exist, and my health preventing me discharging such important functions, I beg you to make known my resignation to the Chamber, and to convey to it the expression of my gratitude for the high mark of confidence with which it has honoured me. " CASIMIR PERRIER." The President proposed a vote of thanks to the late President, accom panied by the regret of the Chamber at the ill state of his health.— Adopted. Upon the proposition of M. Donleylet, the Chamber de cided that a new President should be elected to-morrow. M. L'Ahhey de Pompiercs said, in contempt of sworn faith, and contrary to mild.. 11 of the Charter, citizens have been expelled from France, and torn from the bosom of their families. Wi It their eyes fixed upon their coun. try, they have been waiting 15 years for the moment of justice. The hour of liberty has come for every Frenchman, and they are waiting still ! Men 90 years old are looking forward to the moment when they shall embrace their great grandchildren. For them, days—hours, perhaps—are y. ars. We cannot hasten too much in restoring them to their families ; may a friendly hand at least close their eyes—may the land which gave them birth receive their ashes. This is the only wish they entertain. therefore submitted the proposition of a law for the repeal of article 7 of the law which was called, by decision, an Act of Amnesty, for it was a proscription law to which nothing but categories were wanting.— Having learned that the Government have in contemplation a law on the subject, I withdraw my motion. The Keeper of the Seals stated that the law or otdinance on the subject would shortly be brought forward. The President—ln former Sessions it was cuss tomary to ;send by Message to the King a law voted by the Chamber ; this law was then presented by the Government to the Chamber of Peers ; but now that the right of proposing laws belongs to us as well as to the Government, the King should nor be the medium between us and the Chamber of Peers. The law should now be sent immediately to the Chamber of Peels. After it has been discussed by the latter Chamber, it will then be transmitted to the King, who will give it his sanction.—Adopted. M. Guetan de la' Rochefoucauld, in the name of the 9th Bureau, proposed the admission cf M. Cruse, Deputy fur La Vienne, which had been adjourned. M. Dentarcay opposed this admission, on the ground that 1W Cruse had quitted the business he formerly pursued, and had no right to include in his qualifying taxation a license which was now paid by his children ; he therefore moved a further adjourn. ment. M. de Corcelles rose and said—We are not now here in or dinary circumstances. War is declared—(murmurs front the two ccn. tres.) Yes, gentlemen, war is declared. Go to the Marche des In. nocens, go to the Louvre, and you will see that war is declared— (numerous voices " all that is at an end.") It is requisite to aster. tain who are friends and who are enemies; we must know whom we have to deal with. In ordinary circumstances the Chamber might over. look a deficiency of a few francs, but in these times the investigation ought to be strict. I support the adjournment. The adjournment was carried. The proposition for making alterations in the standing orders of the Chamber was then brought forward for discussion. The remainder of this sitting was taken up in discussing various regulations. COLOMBIA. The intelligence respecting Colombia, brought by the New York Papers which reached us last night from Liverpool, is not later in date titan previously received ; but the account of the assassination of Gen. Sucre is confirmed. We add some particulars. The editors of the Journal of Commerce have been favoured with the following extracts of letters from Carthagerta " CARTHAGENA, JULY 2. " The Bogota post has just come in, bringing the horrible intelli gence of the assassination of General Sucre. This atrocious deed was perpetrated by order of the traitor General Obando, who dreaded the in fluence of Sucre in the south. It appears that O bando ordered a party to conceal themselves in a wood near to Pasto, and to sally out and murder Sucre as he passed. His mandate they too fully obeyed. The victor of Ayacucho is no more. The mode of his death will be a lasting stain upon his country, as his own conduct had been its ornament. The President, Alosquera, pretends to disbelieve that Obando was the author of this murder, and credits an absurd story that the son, brother, or cousin of some one whom General Sucre had ordered to be shot, committed this crime to avenge his death. It is positively false that Sucre ever caused any individual to be shot in Pasto. Obando, and Obando alone, would have dared to commit such a crime. Sucre is the fourth General, be- sides many inferior field officers, that have been assassinated within the past year by the soi-disatit Liberals. The others are General of Division Mires, at San Borron ; General of Brigade Pasdel Castillo, near Guayaquil; and General Lucas Carbajal, on the plains of Ca *snare. " DEATH or Gs:w. Sucaz.—Letters received by the Montilla state, that Oen. Antonio Jose de Sucre had been assassinated while on his way to Paste. If this be true, it is much to be lamented. Nest to Bolivar, Oen. Sucre is the greatest benefactor of South America. Ile was born at Cumana, in Venezuela, in 1793, consepuently was 37 years old at the time of his death. He was educated at Caracole, and entered the army in 1811. From 1814 to 1817 to served in the staff. He commanded the pattiot forces at the battle of Pinehicha, on the 24th May, 1822 ,when 300 Spaniards were left dead on the field, and the remainder, 3,000 men, capitulated. By this event, the independence of Colombia was finally secured. In June, 1823, he was elected Commander.in-Chief of the patriot forces in Peru, on the approach of a powerful Spanish aarmy, and soon after was invested with the supreme command. On the 9th of December, 1824, he gained the battle of Ayacucho, the most brilliant ever fought in South America, in which 1,400 royalists were killed, 700 wounded, and 3,784 taken, including 16 Generals, 16 Colonels, 68 Lieutenant-Colonels, and 484 officers of lower grades. This secured the independence of Peru. He afterwards liberated the province of Bolivia, became supreme chief, and was finally ap. pointed by the Congress of that Republic, President for life. II c was first Pr.sit".. , nt of the late Constituent Congress of Bo- I gota, was delegated by that body as one of the commissioners to propose friendly terms with Venezuela; and when this mission had proved un. successful, and the Congress had closed its labours, he proceeded to the Southern Departments to appease certain disturbances which had arisen under Gen. Fl.lrcs. There, it would seem, he had met an untimely fate. His st a t ure w as rather below the middle size, his countenance sprightly, and his manners refined and pleasing. " It was also reported that two other Generals had fallen victims m assassination; but this, the letters say, was without foundation. 11'e would gladly hope that the same might prove true in regard to the noble minded Sucre." ONE SMILE MORE. From a rolaine of Exquisite Poetry, (Tll E GARLAND.) A smile for dear Wont-in—for if there's a treasure On earth worth possessing, then surely 'tis she; For what without her would be life's proudest pleasure ? A landscspe, with neither fount, flowret, nor tree. Then wake fmm thy slumber, young hard of the valley, For Woman thy lyre's sweetest music outpour ; For beauty still smiles 'mid'each rose-shaded alley— The Ladies of England ! and one smile more. A smile, then, for NVontan—how sweet in life's morning, Ere yet the cold world youth's warm feelings has chilled, With her 'tis to wander, unscorned and ur.scorning, In all that mars !lope's fairest features unskilled. What matters it whether the land of the thistle --- Were that of her birth, as 'twas beauty's of yore ? For sweet is her smile where the wintry winds whistle— The Ladies of Scotland ! and one smile more. A smile, then, for Woman—for who, as he gazes On Olendalough's waters, where beauty bath been, Though green grows the shamrock 'mid noon's starry daisies, But sighs o'er the fate of the love-lorn Cathleen ? Bright nursling of ocean, green island of Erin, I lore thee, all loud though thy dark billows roar ; I love thy fair daughters, with smiles so endearing— The ladies of Erin ! and one smile more. A smile, then, for Woman—fur if there's a treasure On earth worth possessing, so surely 'tis she ; For what without her would be life"., proudest pleasure ? A landscape, with neither fount. flowret, nor tree. Then wake from thy slumber, young bard of the valley, For Woman thy lyre's sweetest music outpour; Hail shamrock and thistle, and rose.shaded alley— The Ladies of Britain ! and one smile more. ADJOURNED INQUEST ONI MISS CU.S'IIE.V, (THIS DAY., TH I I-7MT. The Inquest-room was crowded to excesa by halipaq ten, when the CORONER entered, and took the Chair. The business of the day commenced by Dr. Thompson explaining and answering some questions put to him,—when Mr. Adolphus, in a rude manner, interfered, and used an obnoxious expression towards Mr. T. Mr. THolirsow demanded an apology. Mr. ADOLPH vs said he would—" He's a wretched liar." His words drew forth the disapprobation of the room, who displayed strong symptoms of disapprobation at such low conduct. Mr. ADoLritua declared that if such hooting muted again, he should order the room to be cleared. here the ro.e ended. Mr. Wilderove examined by a Juror.—How long do you know Mr. Long ?—About four years ; does not know much of him ; does not think he studied or practised much as a doctor or apothecary ; does not remember any particular cute ; he thinks there was one, a case of con sumption ; not certain of it; acquaintance but slight. Miss Matilda Christian, of Itt•geht's.nark, examined by Mr. ADO!, rit es.-- Do you know Mr. Long.--1 do, about two years. I was a patient of his. Juror.—Arc you under his care now.—No ; lam not. My coin. plaint was consumption. By Mr. ADocrit us.—ln what way did Dr. Long treat you.—lle made incisions on my back, sides, chest, &c. He applied a compound by a sponge upon the sores. By a Juror—T was not ill when I first went to him. I was aftet wards taken ill, and went to the Doctor's. There were other ladies there— Rorie for consumption, and some for other causes. I believe he applied the same remedy to all. I was entirely under his care, and don't regret It. Question by a Juror—ln a short time I was perfectly cured, to the satisfaction of all my friends and myself. By a Juror—l have been under several other medical gentlemen be. fore I applied to Long, but of no avail. By a Juror--There arc no marks of the incisions appear on my flesh, except when I am very cold.. By a Juror—l was advised to go to Mr. Long's by several medical friends. Here a desultory conversation ensued between the Jury and Mr. A not.Putys respecting the right of Mr. Long answering questions put to him. Mr. ADOLPHUS said he had no right whatever. Some of the Jury contended he had—here the matter ended" By a Juror—l would sooner go to Mr. Long's in case of illness than to any other man. He bled me and sponged me himself; he done it cleverly ; he perfectly cured me. By a Juror--I have recommended several young ladies to him—all have been cured.' I will recommend all that I can. By a Juror—l signed a book not to reveal the process. I understand he paid a high price for the recipe. Several of my acquaintances have been cured by him. Mr. ADOLPHUS commenced a very long defence of Mr. Long, in which he laid down the law as regarding the situation of his client, and that of a person who wilfully proceeded to extract money by unfair means! He would clearly alleys that his client had acted honourably on all occa. pions, regarding his practice, as a medical man—that he had completely cured several ladies when other doctors had failed—that his sole aim and ambition was to benefit his countrymen. Aspersions had been cast on him —his name bandied about in the Newspapers, which arainly would do no good, but the reverse. This, he thought, was sufficient punish. ment. if he deserved any. Mr. ADOLPHUS then proceeded, in a learned manner, with the de. fence of Long. He then proceeded to call witnesses in favour of his client, Dr. Long. The first was, By a Juror—Did you ever visit Mr. Long ?—I did. Did he ever visit you ?—He did, once. I have visited Mrs. Long. By a Juror—Did Mr. Long send for you ?—1 received a note from him, and I called on Sunday last. He requested I would attend the inquest Did not tell me what to say when I came here. I never heard the deceased's name mentioned at Long's I did not know her by name. During the examination of this :witness, the risibility of the Court knew no bounds—the lady herself smiled most graciously—the Coroner could not suppress the laugh. Iler examination was very long, and very amusing. When we left, the inquest was proceeding with ; but is expected to finish this evening. The Duke of Sussex entertained the Landgravine of Hesse Homberg, the Duke of Cambridge, and a select party, to dinner yes. terday, at his residence in the King's Palace at Kensington. The buulgravine of Hose Homberg arrived in town on Wednesday, from a visit to their Majesties, at the Palac at Windsor The Duke of Sussex and the Princess Sophia visited her Royal High ness yesterday, at Cambridge House; Piccadilly. The Princess Augusta arrived in town about half-past 12 o'clock yeiterday, from the Palace at Windsor. Her Royal Highness paid a visit to the Landgravine of Ilene Homberg at Cambridge House yesterday, and, in the afternoon, left her residence in the King's Palace, St. James's, to return to Windsor. . _ It is st a ted in the Toulouse Journal that the Spanish chiefs, Chapalanguetra and Jaureguy, have gone from the Interior of France to Spain, and that there is no doubt they are endeavouring to excite a commotion in their country. _ _ The interview which Kin . ; Wil:intn wanted to General Baudrand hutted about fifteen minutes, in the COUTM' of which his Ma jesty inquired kindly and anxiously as to the health of Louis Philip and his family. The Spanish and Danish Ministers had interviews with the Carl of Aberdeen yesterday, at the Foreign Office. The Duke of Wellington left town on Wednesday evening, for Wilmer Castle. Mr. Herries left town yesterday afternoon, for Seven Oaks, Kent. It is said that Dr.,Gray, Bishop of Bristol, is not inclined to be translated to Bangor. This, however, will not prevcr.t the promo.. tion of Dr. Pliilpotts. It is expected that the Bishop of Exeter will be less insensible than the Bishop of Bristol to the beauties of North. Welsh scenery. The Astronomers have forgotten to predict for the year 1830 a visible eclipse of the gendarmes in Paria.—Le Voleur. Unless the temporary road from the Strand to Hemming's row it properly Macadamised, it will, as soon as the wet weather acts in, he a maw of mud, nearly, if not quite, impassable. The investigation which has been so long going on as to the melancho death of Miss Cashin affords a striking instance of ibe truth of an a dage so often applied to those who seek for medical aid when not in want of it. " She was well, would be better, took physic, and died." Another new Club is talked of, to be appropriated to per sons of both sexes. In addition to social intercourse, it is introdri. to combine a patronage and cultivation of the fine arts ; the drawing. rooms to be devoted to the ladies, where they may pass their mornings, if they choose, in elegant and literary pursuits. Probably, after all. their mornings would be more profitably passed at home.—Herald. NAVAL INTELHGEvt'E. The Aurora, Fairclough, from London to Gibraltar, wat, on go.; e, near Falmouth on Wednesday.

Under that conviction I shall not address any sib. scrvations to you c elculated to renew such painful feelings in your mind. But with respect to the offence of which you have been convicted, I wish it to be undvratood by you, and by all who hear me, that for such an offence no mitigation or extenuation not recognized by the laws of the country can be allowed. From all the facts that have. been disclosed in this case, taking into consideration the merciful re commendation of the jury who tried you, and most properly fouitel guilty—and also what has been said by the commander of the fore,., the Court taking all these circumstances into consideration. sentence you John Roland Smith, and you Frederick .Markham, to be impel. coned in the gaol of Kilmainham fur twelve months."

A glass of water was hand. dto hint— he tasted a little of it, and u it was intimated the Court wished to add a few words to their entente, he was again brought to the bar. Judge Vandeleur said, that in passing the sentence, he ought perhaps to have repe.ited the opinion which he then gave,that the conduct of the prisoners when in the field, was such as to leave no imputation upon their cha racter.

Although having received r.un.crous letters relative to the case of se. auction or abduction which occurred some weeks ago in DunduLt, we forbore giving expression hitherto to any opinion of our own upon the subject, for two reasons. We could not believe the possibili y of two officers in his Majesty's military service having perpetrated such an outrage, as the one in question, upon the laws of honour and of soeety ; and we did rot choose to be the organ of a slander, it' the charge should turn out to be unfounded, upon the army, which we highly respect, and upon two piing ladies who might, we thought, be the victims of malevolent rumour. Dore. ever, as the repent has been circulated through the London, and subsequently through a portion of the Irish press, and as we centtnue to receive apparently authentic information about the affair. we eons der further silence improper, aid unfair to our readers. Subjoined is a let. ter we yesterday received from a correspondent at Dundalk. We give it as we got it. merely omitting the names, but leaving the initials.— Should the statement be accurate, we have no hesitation in saying that a more flagitious case never came to our knowledge On ore side t h ere is, to say the least of it, culpable negligence and indtscretio 1, and on the other, perfidy and want of gallantry, wholly at war with military usage, quite unworthy of °theirs and gentlemen, and td”olottly con. dieting with the laws of the land : " PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE. Dumblk. Aug. 21. " I would have given you some account, ere this. of the extranrai. nary and disgraceft.l occurrence that happened here, only I am ow.a you have no great appetite for scandal, and imagined .:. that it wou.d .att be of interest to you. The unti.rtut ate ladies who are the subject or so much scandal here, are the 3lisses A-5, daughters of Dean A —s, of the county of M—, n highly respectable ele.jor 11 an,ard who was either the proposer or seconder of 31r. ti— at the late election. "The ladies came with their mother W Black Rock, near this town, to t ujoy the benefit of the waters (as you may have seen by the London cur. respondence).

It was appoint. d that she and her sister should come into town on a censin evening, and have the marriage performed at his lodgings. The ladies, always punctual en such occasions, veto on the spot to the moment. What treater a strong :eeling against the unfortunate a tea:tit:s litre is. that they allowed them. selves to be conducted to different anartments. Those who shed a tear of sorrow for their fate, strongly censure them for this indis cretion.
