Sa much for the effect of that discussion out of doors which the Honourable Gentleman and his friends were pleased to deprecate! Mr. SCARLETT talks of reviving the measure next Session: we hope he will not be so cruel as to recal his banding to life, only to be smothered a second time. Nothing at all like his Bill, either in principle or detail, can ever be ex pected to pass 'the British Legislature, is long as public opinion continues to have any influence on its decisions. The Paris Papers of Monday arrived this forenoon. It is stated in an extract of a letter from Vienna, dated the 12th June, that the communications be tween the Austrian Cabinet and that of Petersburgh have become more active than ever. In consequence of orders from the Aulic Council of War, the cordon established along the Turkish frontiers, had been re inforced by troops from Gallicia. An extraordinary courier had been dispatched to several Regiments in Hungary, with orders to hold themselves in readi ness to march at a moment's notice. Prince CAUTACUZENE, the Greek Commander, has sent forth an official account of the affair of Galacz, which differs considerably from that published by the Dacha IBEAIL. The Prince, while he confesses that the Tuiks made themselves masters of Galacz, esti mates their loss at 1,300 men, and that of the Greeks at only 300. CAUTACUZENE had withdrawn into Moldavia, where he had received such reinforcements as to put him in a condition of keeping in check the forces detached by the Turks against that Province. The Turks had entered, with three different corps, into Moldavia and Wallachia, but none of these corps were Strong enough to attempt any major operation. We have received to-day Papers direct from Ma drid to the 14th inst. Among the extracts which we subjoin will be found a very gratifying one respect ing the state of the Spanish Revenue. CADIZ, JUNE 6. The Redactor General of this city mentions, that the Galga schooner arrived there on the sth from the Havannah, in 39 days, with the Mail, &c. It sailed with the convoy of the Pronta frigate, com posed of .55 vessels, including four ships of war, from which it parted on the 24th May, in lat. 41. 6. long. 29. 57. west of Cadiz. The same Pafer states, that the national troops, in New Spain, have recovered 500,000 of the 700,000 piastres intercepted by the rebel Colonel Iturbide, who, it is asserted, had sub• mitted.—This news was communicated by the per sons on board the Galga, and will, we hope, be con firmed by the letters, which are not yet landed. Our Political Chief has issued a Proclamation on the appearance of Zaldivar, with a band of forty-five horsemen, in the neighbourhood of Xeres de la Fron tem. He severely threatens all who shall join tLis rebel, and commands them to lay down their arms, and return to their homes within forty-eight hours, under pain of being tried by military law and shot. It is believed by many that this party is only a band of smugglers ST. SEBASTIAN, JUNE P. On the sth arrived in this port the Amable Rosa; on the 6th, the Bueno Gabriela and the Malan+, all from the Havaunah, with colonial produce. They have brought letters from Havannah of 24th April, in which is the following intelligence: 4 , We have just learned, by way of Campeachy, that the rebel Colonel, hut bide, has accepted the amnesty, after having been abandoned by his troops, and has given himself up to the army of the Viceroy, with 600,000 piastres ; and that the Bishop of Puebla has fled. This news is too important to be believed upon bare assertions; if it shall happily be confirmed, it will Secure for a long time the tranquillity of the Kingdom of Mexico, and of this Island." ARANDA DE DUERO, JUNE 9. General Empecinado has' taken prisoner, at Nova de Itoa, D. Lorenzo Quintana, Clergyman of Roa. His capture is considered to be as important, or even more so, than that of Merino himself, as be was his intimate friend, confidant, and director, and enjoyed in this whole district more reputation than Merino. Ilc has been brought to -this town, and proceedings are commenced against him. JUNE 10.—The troops of General Empecinado, being extremely weary, remain at present in their respective positions. Every point is, secure, and all measures have been taken to prevent a surprize.— Thi3 miserable faction can hold together no longer than while it avoids 'hewing itself. SEPULVEDA, JUNE 10. The wretched Merino escaped from the affair of the .sth wiih only fifteen horses, thanks to the agility 11:., and the %seal ine:s of our cattle, which was such that the soldiers were at last obliged to lead them by the bridle, otherwise that rebel would have fallen under the sword of the Commander of the Ist Bana -1 lion of Catalonia, or of that of one of the four brave men who joined him in the pursuit. MADRID, JUNE 14. . . Tie Sitting of the Cartes on the 12th was import ant. The Minister of Finance stated, that the amount of the contlibkitions paid in the last ten months, to make good arrears, was 120.761,158 reals, and for the payment of the current taxes the sum of 585;297,352 reals, making the suns total of 703,061,510 reals;-- and the general estimate being 712 millions, there remained only six millions to be paid in the two re maining months to complete the amount. The Conde de Torreno, Senor Cepero, and other r Members, expressed themselves highly gratified by the flattering prospect presented by this statement. A Mail from Fla..zdets has arrived this forenoon, with Pape' s tathe26l!: inst. The following are extracts: BRUSSELS, JUNE 22. Baron de Nujell is said to be appointed Ambassa dor Extraordinary to the Court of London, on the occasion of the Coronation of his Majesty George IV. DAItMSTADT, JUNE Is. The law on the Conscription, which has given rise to much cliscusion, was adopted in the last Sitting of the Second Chamber, by a very great majority on every point, and the Grand Duchy of Hesse may boast of having one of the first laws on this difficult subject. _ _ _ One poin t especially occupied the Chamber at the close of the debates :—the two Chambers had unani mously desired, that the Jewish conscripts should not be allowed to have any but Jews for substitutes. M. Peerrot, the proposer of this regulation, sup ported it by incontrovertible arguments, and repre sented it as perhaps the only possible means of obliging the Israelite; to participate in European ci vilization. At first the Government would not accede to this proposal, and it was referred back to the States for reconsideration. In' this second discussion a picture was drawn of the ill consequences, and of the dangers to society which would result from a re final to accede to this proposition. After a speech by M.. Peerrot, which produced a' great effect, the Chamber unanimously resolved to abide by its first resolution. As the First Chamber coincides in opinion, we are curious to know what steps the Government will take. The Members have also resolved that Christians must have Christian substitutes. FRANKFORT, JUNE Is. The King of Prussia passed through this morning to go to'Homburg, where he breakfasted. His Ma jesty returned to dinner at Frankfort, and then went to pay a visit to the Grand Duke and Duchess of ' ' Hesse. To-morrow his Majesty goes to Mayence. It is well known that the Leipsic Fair is regularly visited by numerous Greeks, who do considerable business there. These transactions, which are not always completed by payment in ready money, lead to obligations to be discharged the ensuing fair, by punctual fulfilment of which the Greeks have hitherto been distinguished. At the last fair, however, only a' single individual of that nation appeared as the au- 1 thorised agent of all his ccuotrymen who.had obliga tiobs of this nature to discharge. He was commis sioned to' xcuse their non-appearance on account of the present state of things in their country, which likewise made it impossible for them to pay the sums that were due front them this fair. At the same time, he adde.l, in the name of his employers, the assurance that the payments should be immediately made when the state of things at home rendered it in any degree possible. At the house of a merchant in this city, the Greek accidentally met with the friend of a man of letters, born and living here, who has acquired an honour able reputation, not alone in Germany, by his inge nious writings and their philanthropical tendency.— He gave to this friend a present of no intrinsic value, and deriving its worth solely from the giver's inten tion, viz. a plain Turkish pipe, requesting him to deliver it to the writer in question as a testimony of the high esteem with which he and his countrymen were inspired towards him, and which had been ex cited in them by the perusal of his writings. The Greek proposed also to send a pamphlet . , from the pen of one of the most distinguished literati of his country, giving an account of the first origin of the spirit which now animates his countrymen,. which is hitherto little known in Europe, especially in Germany. —On this subject he himself briefly observed, that this spirit had been first and chiefly excited by the generous assistance which already, at the Vienna Congress, had been given by the civilized nations of Europe to his countrymen, for the purpose of dif fusing knowledge among them. The facility, there by, afforded towards the re-acquirement of that higher , intellectual culture by which Greece was distinguished in remote antiquity, had excited, eve.: daily by the study of history, which is now very general, the most glorious recollections, by which persons of all distinctions of age or sex were now' animated ; and had given birth and consistency to the resolution to advance, with undeviating perse verance, towards the proposed object, in despite of all the dangers with which their lives and property were threatened. The Greek confirmed the report that had been pre viously spoken of in former journals, that Cara• Ali had certainly attempted, by a studied treachery to the Greeks, to open himself a way to a reconciliation si ith the Porte, the hope of which he had nor yet re nounced, as the Porte had hitherto spared the lives of his children, who were in its hands as securities for his behaviour. His perfidious intentions had, hoWever, been discovered ia good time, by his most confidential Secretary, a Greek by birth, and such precautions had been taken, that it would be baldly possible for him to sliew his evil dispositions in overt acts. The Greeks had.the more efficacious means in their hands, as Ali was surrounded with their coun trymen, and strictly watched ; so that it would not be easy for him to undertake anything without their knowledge. TH.? AR :111'.

The interior of Westminster Abbey, and the grand banquet in Westminster Hall, introduced in the Coro nation in Henry the Fourth, at Covent-Garden, are said literally to have cost the Proprietors, with the throne, banners, canopies, and insignia, no less a sum than two thousand pounds ! The number of haunches of venison to be provided for the Coronation will be three score, and it is said there will be turtle soup enough to drown half a dozen Aldermen! A letter from Newcastle, dated June 26, says— " We understand there are to be several oxen and other animals roasted whole in this town in comme moration of the Coronation, and that a great quan tity of malt liquor will be given away. One thou sand pounds have been voted by the Common Coun cil to the Mayor for the occasion ; but he is not to be limited in the rejoicing expenses to that sum. The pants, or water-fountains, arc to run something better than water on the occasion. At GEORGE the Third's Coronation, a temporary erection on the Sand hill ran wine, which was nearly all wasted, owing to the pressure and rudeness of the populace. We hope that the liquor will be better taken care of this time.

TOMICINS'S GALLERY OF PICTURES.— Among the attractions of the season, this elegant Exhibition of Paintings from the most celebrated Originals of the Old Masters, ought not to be overlooked.

LAW INTELLwrxcr, COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JUNE rt. TILE KING V. GLOSSOP. The conviction by the Magistrates, upwards c f year ago, at Union Hall, against the defendant,f o , performing Plays at the Coburg Theatre, w• ai a y., firmed by the Court, and the motion of the defend. ant, that tire Writ of Certiorari, granted by t hi s Court, should be discharged, was refused. The Dr i p . cipal grounds of objection on the part of the def en ' d. . ant, b) his Counsel, was, that the Theatre in this e ft was in the Parish of St. Mary, Lambeth, but the h 7 of the penalty was adjudged to the Parish of L. beth, the words" St. Mary" being omitted, and it di/ not appear, or could the Court know that the P ax id s of Lambeth and St. Mary, Lambeth, were one A m the same Parish. _ _ The Coy UT observed, that there was but one Pari s h in Lambeth. Mr. SCARIETT was about to address their S•atd. ships in support of the conviction, when The COURT said, they were satisfied that the Z i l e for the Certiorari should be discharged, and the m t . viction before the Magistrates be affirmed. OUTRAGE in Me COUNTY of WATERFaa Some outrages having been committed in t h e Barony of4Decies within Drum, the Magistrate / met in the town of Clash more, and issued a notice cautio n , ing persons riotously assembling from entering the lands and property of John Musgrave, and H. Reilly, on which they had committed outra ge , b y cutting turf and demolishing houses and fences. 0 4 the 19th instant the Sub-Sheriff, with eight Magis trates, proceeded with parties to the lands of GINA and Ballylangadan to destroy some turf which had been illegally cut on • inclosed grounds. In a shoe time a body of men advanced to the house of M c . Musgrave's wood-ranger, which they began demolish. Their proceedings were accompanied by, shouting and the sounding of horns, whi c h were answered by other parties on the mountain Several Magistrates rode to the spot, and entreated , them to de:si , ,t, or the military would lire on that; they accordingly retreated, but in a short time wee brought back by their leaders; they drew up in , menacing manner, armed with various weapons, alto recommenced the work of destruction. The Riot Aq was lead, and the rioters slowly retired in a body.— The llusErrs were ordered to take prisoners, and slot were occasionally discharged, as individuals refuted to surrender or made resistance. The Cavalry becans necessarily dispersed in the pursuit, and the Infantry moved to support them. While the troops were tho engaged, the rioters made a second attack , house, but were again dispersed by a few t•lri did not take effect. The Sub-Sheriff and Al now proceeded to Clashmore with. 35 prisoners, they wine accompanied to Dungarvon. by escort ; and we regret to say, that a rescue wards attempted, which rendered it necess.ai . and one'man was kllled. Thirty-five persons were committed to the County Jail, charged committing, on the .19th, a great i i )t and attacking and parity demolishing the house Fitzgerald, situated at Grallagli, is the Waterford. APPREHENSION OF THE MURDERERS OF MI RANCE.—Saturday morning Thomas No/ Finucane, was apprehended in the house named Dillon, in (latloe-wood, by a party Warburton's Police; Molony was conveyer Torrance's lodgings, who, at the first viex said be had no doubt but he was the per• murdered his wife.

Macnamara was taken on Friday night, f• a of Mr. Going% Police, in the town of Croom. Saturday a man named Boyle was lodged iick Jnil, charged %ler bein:_ , concerned in conspiripi to murder Mrs. Torrance. It is fortunate that Ms Torrance has survived to identify them. At half-past eleven this morning, the grasshopper, which, for a vast number of years, had occupied a exalted situation, and performed the duties of a weathercock, on the top of the late spire at the Royal Exchange, was, in the presence of a great multitude of Gentlemen, remounted and placed on the new dome, amidst loud shouts of approbation. lt is of copper gilt, nine feet three inches in length from the tail to the extremity of the horns, and weigh* upwards of one hundred and a half. flow-Srassr.—Yesterday, Spik&led, a little twelve years old, was brought before Sir Rograr Baal with steling twenty sovereigns from his school ma pearedihy the evi.'ence of Mr. &enson, who keeps in the vicinity of the Haymarket, that this boy was take his dinner in the school-room, in consequence o' living a scme distance, and that he availed himself ( tuniti: s tht:s AlOrded him to open the master's desk, out a pc-whet-hook containing the twenty sovereigns rty ese.s introediately missed; but the extreme your' sutler prevented any suspicion from attaching to hi. days after, when some of the other boys told the young Spikeley had a great deal of money in his p cometrecce of this information he was taxed with . but he stoutly denied all knowledge of it till a constable• for, and to him he confessed that he had stolen, the pc , and having taken out two or three of the sovereigi. the others for five sEilings, to a lad he did not know . It was also proved by other witnesses, that he had with a sovereign or two, and a quantity of silver, the robbery. Sir Itoarter Parca observed, that there was no lb cormuitted the tae; t, and had moreover told an untruth ing the disposal of the property; but still it would be to commit st:ch a child for a capital felony; and ' mended that punishment should be administered l his fatbet ; or, it' this was not thought sufficient, detained in prison a week or two. In reply to this, the father and mother, who sent, assured the Magistrate that no such punishment have the slightest effect upon him. It had, they said,' repeatedly to no purpose ; for, young as he was, he ha ral years been iu the constant habit of purloining which came in his way, and had thereby conside:a them. They, therefore, prayed the Ma-istrate th commit him for trial, in order that he might afterwards to the Penitentiary ! The distressing statement given by the parects rohorated by the constable, who said he had been sent fot to him, in consequence of his having co beries, not only %trill his parents , b i n u pon other, Ile was accordingly fully committed to Newgate, trial for the capital felooy.
