Even the rea• sons whiCh' the King deigned to give for his refusal have been repeated. An inquiry appeared to his Majesty contrary to the salutary principle ofoblivion with which hit Majesty has wished, as he expressed it in the Charter, that all deeds anterior to the Restoration should be covered. to the :urley, In the CHINA. Extract of a letter from Canton, dated May I I We learn from Pekin; that one of the chief Mandarins has fallen under the high displeasure of the Emperor, having been accused of peculation and bribery, fox which he has been'forbidden the Court, and an inquiry will be set on foot respecting it. Our business here has resumed its old footing, and the effects of the late con- Aagration are dying away. We underrtand from one of our Hongs, that there has been some discussion be tween the Emperor and the Chief Mandarin, relative to the affair of the Topaze. This ha's been occasioned by the idea entertained by the Chinese, that the late Ere here was a visitation from Heaven, in consequence of the two natives killed in the affray having been suffered to go unrevenged. It is regarded here, however, as only a new plan of extorting money, and will mottpoi' bakay be met accordingly. I • • • ' vet 7 709. tut tc. Latta irge of testae zi par. I, who public d after JAPAN.

This day was published, An inquiry would suppose that his Majesty could re-• eeiie the slightest impression from the calumnious alle gations of the Duke of Rovigo, and his Majesty would 'hot open the least pretext for such a suspicion. What confirms the reality of these rumours, and evdn gives them the character of authenticity, is.the following fact, which cannot be questioned, since it has been pub lished, and has passed in presence of the Court : On Sunday the Prince de Talleyrand presented -him self, according to custom, to pay his court to the Kink, with all the great OiScers of the Crown-and Kingdom., His Majesty took this occasion to address these kind words to the Prince de Talleyrand :---",P; ince Talley-, rand, you and our's will be able to come here without, fear of bad rencontre." , I -.We are persuaded that these Royal words will put an end to the scandalous debate raised by the tzta,n whose punishment they announce.

Benyer, the second defender of the ac cused, spoke to the merits of the case with much elo quence and ingenuity. He observed that, as tothe first B ch of accusation, the poisoning of Hippillyte, the ch trge had been abandoned by the public prosecutor. As to the charge of destro7ing the will, he. observed there was not even proof that a will existed • all that was proved vas , that Auguste had given 100, 000 francs to Castaing, but whether from gratitude or 'from what other motive -did not appear, and in such uncertainty the Jury would not assert the existence of crime. As to the third question, whether Castaing caused the death of Auguste by poison, it was first necessary, he observed, to have a certainty that Auguste was poisoned at all. Where were these proofs ?-Of the appearances on the inspection of the corpse, all might have been caused by natural malady. Of the appearances exhiz bited during life, some, such as the state of the pulse, re spiration, and the contraction of the pupils, were di rectly contrary to the symptoms of poison. How was the poison given ? was it in the warm wine? Everything leads to the conviction, that on the Fri day Castaing had no poison on him, for at his house in Paris was found a phial full up to the cork. Yet Au guste was ill on the Saturday ; he was predisposed to it. On the 27114 he had been low-spirited, and spoke of his will. He had, perhaps, committed some excesses; lie had.beie fatigued two successive days. Was the poison given is the milk, the bitterness must hive discovered it., In the potiun ?—Jean (the servant) saw it poured out, and it has been analysed, and con tained no poison.. The speaker then adverted to the seventy-four pre •sumptions raised in the act of accusatiqn„agaiest him, the greater part of which hasl,disappeared by force of explanatious afforded , b mere cliatice. : But for this chance tltey might al P iave rititaitied uasliakep; : * He quoted the words 6, 4 1i15ing of 1?r - gnee to the Judges— ..

The following are the terms of the letter addrEssed by the Bishop of Meaux to the Curate of Laferte, on the subject of M. Manuel :— , 4 I have just learned, my dear pastor, that the spouse of the person at' whose house thorn*: eta repugnance: alighted on arriving at Laferte is delivered. It is possible that Manuel. may be proposed as godfather. I need not tell you that if, ac cording to the strict rule, he who does not fulfil his pas chal duties cannot be permitted to present an infant at the baptismal font, there is much more reason for not conceding that permission to him who in his speeches has frequently shewn himself irreligious, and who has lately been expelled from the Chamber of Deputies, on account of his anarchic opinions. Should you have any reluctance to take this determination on yourself, I au thorize you to place it to my account. It is a settled affair. I think, indeed, that it is better it should be at tributed to me, as it is possible that it might be attended' by some disagreeable consequences to you. At all events, if Manuel present himself—and he is capable of so doing, for his late conduct proves his audacity—he must e repulsed. Religion cannot sanction such a scandal.' STORM' 7 BERMUDA. PROM A BERMUDA PAPER OP THE first warn A gale of uncommon violence, accompanied with, r these quantity of rain, was experienced in islands on Saturday night and Sunday morning last; and we are sorry to say a great deal of damage has been done all over the country, by the unroofing of houses, the destruction of walls and fences, the prostra tion of trees that had been reared, some for fruit and others for shade, and in the injury done to cultivated gardens and vegetation generally. Among those whose houses have been partially or wholly unslated, and otherwise injured, we are exceedingly sorry to hear that there are many poor persons, to whom this is a very heavy calamity, because of their inability to repair the damage their humble tenements may have sustained; these call particularly for the sympathy and assistance of their more fortunate friends and neighbours. The commencement of the storm was from E.S. E. from which point the wind chopped round in the latter part of the night to about west, and blew with unabated via lente till morning. The rain set in again heavily the following night, and continued, but with partial inter missions, fur three des. In Hamilton and its imme diate vicinity, the damage has not been so great as in most other parts of the country,' and particularly along the whole extent of the south side, where the exposure was greater. In St. George's, the wooden barracks at the Bottom of the parade-ground were blown quite down, and partly intcrthe sea ; Mr. Davenport's wharf. (formerly Trott's) was run foul of by the schooner Cleo patra, of Nova Scotia, and broken eatirely down ; the , schooner ran high and dry whore at Phelan's Bay, boo low the Barrack hill, and has to discharge her cargo be* fore she can.be get off. Banks's wharf is also destroyed,. and the whole range of wharfs in front of the town are more or less iured; several boats were stink, andtwo or three were dasbed to pieces. The whole viran-Ja of the house of Mr. Taylor (post-master), on the declivity: of the signal-hill, Fort George, was rased, blown over the house, and conveyed a considerable distance up the hill I The roof of the same house, as well as the roofs. about While fly ma -8 year. hi/th at the teeovilt leaving a nn.. her fa h, and t again.
