The Select Committee appointed to inquire into the state of the Pauper Lunatics in the county of Middle sex, to consider the propriety of extending the provi sions of 14 Geo. 111. c. 49. to pauper lunatics, and of the consolidation of all Acts relative to lunatics and lunatic PROW THE GAZETTE DC PRANCE, DATED JULY S. CONSTANTINOPLE, Jam Before the Porte made known in writing its formal refusal to admit the intervention of foreign Powers in the affairs of Greece, the Russian Ambassador had had his audience in the Palace of the Porte, and received on that occasion presents of horses and pelisses more splendid and valuable than are usually given on such occasions. PROM ANOTHER LETTER OF THE 11TH. There would be reasons to infer, from the late mea sures taken by M. de Ribeaupierre, that that Minister will make a long stay here; but many persons doubt of this, on account of the written refusal of the Porte to listen to the proposals in favour of the Greeks, and they. are rather inclined to believe that the crisis is at hand.. The declaration made by the Porte, on the 9th of June, is in substance as follows : Ig The Porte must re ject the proposals. First, because they are contrary to the doctrine of the absolute obedience which subjects owe to their legitimate Sovereigns; secondly, banns* the right of the . Sovereign to regulate his affairs himself cannot suffer any diminution, and because the chief, as well as the people of the Mussnlmans, have never per-. milted. such an intervention ; thirdly, because these proposals are contrary to the declarations made on his return from Verona by Lord Strangford, the late Ens-, lish Ambassador, who affirmed that he would never in terfere in this affair; fourthly, because they are equally contrary to the convention of A kerman."—Augs.Gazette. PARIS, JULY 7. The last letters from Rome say that the Pope has bad a relapse. The following is in the Veridique, dated Marseilles, June 28 :—M. Ricard Jarrat sailed this morning with .the Pacifique, Captain Heimitte, carrying his artillery with him. Sutton, the nephew of Lord. Cochrane, who arrived here on board the Unicorn schooner, brings a dispatch for M. Eynard, and states, that up to the 4th of this month the Greek fleet was in excellent condition, con sisting of the fine frigate the Hellas, with a crew of 500 men, commanded by Miaulis, as Captain under Lord Cochrane, of the Saviour brig, of the steam-boat, of two corvettes, or ifiree-masted vessels, formerly merchant men belonging to Conduriotti, and of twelve Greek brigs,-belonging to the same Chief. . However, their prises are limited to a Turkish ship laden with gunpowder; for two Egyptian frigates, to which they gave chase, escaped by favour of the night. They have been received by the Conimanders of the French and English squadrons, and even by the Captain of an Austrian firigate, with demonstrations of joy and friendship, which strew that they welre already informed , ot the present determination of their iespective Govern ments. In fact, letters from Aleikndtia say, that Ad miral Rigny has persuaded the Pacha to defer for three' months the departure of the new squadron intended for. the Mores. The Pacha is also resolved to have a fleet ik the Black &a, and has bespoke fonr more frigates in Swarden, and six at VeniCe. The cost of building at r Marseilles is too high for him, and the building of the frigate on the stocks here is discontinued. The bomb vessels necessary 'for Algiers are fitting out at Toulon.

From the registers of the 'fishers appointed by the College of Physicians, and from other testimony, your Committee might infer, that however great its defects may be, Mr. Warburton's establishment has hitherto been considered as good as the generality of licensed houses where paupers are received in the neighbourhood of the metropolis; but if the White House is to be taken as a fair specimen of similar establishments, your Com mittee cannot too strongly or too anxiously express their conviction, that the greatest possible benefit will accrue to pauper patients by the erection of a County Lunatic Asylum.

" COLONKL FABVIBIL * The evidence taken before your Committee leave ne doubt that these observations are still applicable to licensed houses where paupers are received iss the neighbourhood of the metropolis, and theylnie appre hensive that similar abuses elsewhere prevail, as no im provement has taken place in the law. It has been clearly established in evidence, that there is no dqe precaution with respect to the certificates of ad mission, to the consideration of discharge, or to the. application of any curative process to the mental ma lady. Your Committee therefore repeat, adopt, and confirm, the recommendations of 1807 . and 1615 ; and they trust that every effort will be made during the re cess, by all persons concerned in the controul and ma nagement of their establishments, to improve the con dition of the unfortunate lunatics committed to their charge; and they further recommend. that legislative measures of a remedial character should be introduced at the earliest period of the next Session. They have therefore, in consequence, prepared a series of proposi. lions, which they beg to offer as the basis of future le i . iodation. Your Committee have purposely omitted any statement of fines and penalties, conceiving such points may more properly be considered when any Bill or Bills shall be introduced. Your Committee are aware that some expense may be incurred by .the system of visitation they recom mend, but the appropriation of the fees on licences (which might perhaps be increased), and fines levied, would defray a considerable part of such ex pense ; and your Committee confidently anticipate, tha t , the additional sum required will not be considered of importance when compared with the great and practi. cable benefits to be derived from an extended and Ms: proved system of regulating and visiting lunatic asylums, 1. That it le expedient to repeal the Acts of 37 Geo. 11. e. 5. s. 20 and 21, 411 Geo. 111. c. 96, 51 Geo. 111. e. 79, 5.5 Geo. 111. C. 46, 36 Geo. 111. e. 117, 59 Geo. 111. c. 127, 5 Gee.

And to consolidate into one Act of Parliament the provisions of the same, and to make such further rovisions as will facilitate the erection of County Lunatic Asylums, and improve the treatment of pauper and criminal lunatics. 2. That it is expedient to repeal the Acts of 14 Geo. 111. e. 49, 19 Geo. 111. e. 15, 26 Geo. 111. c. 91, and that an Act of Parlia ment should be passed, under the provisions of which all houses for the reception of insane persons, except County Pauper Lunatic Asylums, St. Luke's, and Bethlem Hospitals, shall be licensed and regulated ; and that the following provisions should form the ground-work of such Act. 3. That it is expedient that the Secretary of State for the Home Department do, on the day of in every year, by an instrument under his band and seal, appoint persons, of whom not less than five shalt be police magistrates, together- with five physicians, to be 'biters within the cities of London and West minster, within seven miles thereof, and within the county of Mid dlesex; and that the Secretary of State fur the Home Department do appoint a cletk to attend such board of 'Weirs, and to record - - their proceedings. 4. That such visiters do meet at least four times in each year; and at such meetings the said visiters (five to be a quorum, two of whom at the least to be magistrates) shall, if they think fit, grant licences to all persons requiring the same, for keeping houses for the reception of two or more lunatics, within the.cities of London aid Westminster, and within seven miles thereof, Red within the county of Middlesex, such licences to be for one year from the date thereof; and that in case the said visiters shall think he to refuse any licence so applied for, they shall state their reasons in writing, and deliver a copy of such reasons to the person so applying. 5. That in other parts of England and Wales, the Magistrates assembled in Quarter Sessions shall, if they think fit, grant licences, such Licences to be for one year, to all persons requiring the same, for keeping houses for the reception of two or more lunatics in their respective counties; and that the Clerk of the Peace or his deputy in each county shall set in the same manner within his county as the Clerk to the Board of Visiters within the cities of London and Westminster, within scents miles thereof, and within the county a Middlesex, and that in ease the Justices of Quarter Sroions shall think fit to refuse any licence so applied for, the seasons of such refusal or suspension shall be delivered in writing to the party applying. 6. That previous to the granting sK any such licence, the person requiring the same shall give One month's notice in writing to the 19. That in every cue of the death of Mr? patient in sorb licensed house, a Coroner's Inquest shall be held upon the body I and it such Coroner shall see fit, he shall direct the body to be examined by a medical man not belonging to the establishment. 20. That in case the London Visitors er Visiting Magistrates and Physicians appointed at Quarter Sessions, who shall visit the licensed houses, shall have reason, on examination, after two separate visits, to believe that any patient confined in any of these houses has reco vered the use of his faculties, they shall make a report thereof to the next Quarterly or other Meeting of the said London Visite''', or to the Magistrates at Quarter Sessions, as the case may be, who shall have power to order the discharge of such lunatic, with or without further examination, due notice having been given to the keeper of such asylum of the intention on the part of the Visiters to apply for such discharge. 21. That in order to provide tot the due care of such lunatics as axe confined separately, it is expedient that every person who shall receive into his house for hire (such house not being licensed) any one lunatic, shall, within three days after the arrival of such lona- ties, transmit to the Clerk Of the Commissioners or Clerk of the Peace of the County, as the case may be, a copy of the order and certificate, without which, such as in the case of licensed houses, no such lunatic shall be received; and on the lit January, sr within three days thereof, in every year, be shall transmit to such clerk a certificate, signed by two medical men, describing the then actual state and condition of such lunatic ; and in calm of the deatkremovaL or discharge of such lunatic, he shall forthwith notify the same to such clerk, which said orders, certificates, and notifications shall be duly entered in a register to be kept for that _purpose, and that the said clerk shall make therefrom a separate register, containing the true name of such lunatic so separately confined, together with the place of confinement ; which last-mentioned register shell be open to the, inspection only of the Secretary of State, London 'inters, or Chairman of Quarter Sessions in their respective counties, and to such persons as are authorised to inspect the same by an order under the bands of the Secretary of State or I Chairman of Quarter Sessions, in their respective counties ; and that every such house shall be subject to the same visitation as licensed houses. which, however, shall only take place, by order of the Se cretary of State, Loudon Visiters, or Chairman of Quarter Sessions, in their respective counties. Ex. That ail lunatics confined in custody, of their relatives and ' friends, or of a Committee appointed by the Court of Chancery, shall not be registered, and shall not be subject to visitation, tlcept by the authority of . the Secretary of State for the Home Depart , ment, who shall be empowered, on special application, to appoint, if he shall think fit, Tither, for such purpose, in the same manner as for special visitation of lunatics or lunatic asylums in the country.
