We regret to have to communicate the following Edict of his Holiness, and hope it has been superseded by a more Christian one, according to the recent rumours prevailing in Paris : "Art. 1. All those who, after taking part in the late troubks, have quitted the dominions of his Holiness, with or without passports, shall be tried for the crimes imputed to them, to be punished according to the existing laws, if they dare to return within the dominions of the Pope. • • " Art. 2. The protests and defence which they may be able to pro duce, must be sent to the commissions instituted by the edict of the 14th of April. " Art. 3. The Commissions shall address their report on these pro tests and defence as regards both the law and the fact, with the docu. aunts to the Secretary of State's *See, when the sovereign decision of , his Holiness with regard to the guilty will be made Moro. "Art 4. The commission will premed 'Alban delay, mistake, hi report sgalltet those still in the dominions of the Holy See, accused— A.

HIS remedy possesses superior advantages to all others, T in counteracting the dreadful effects arising from painful den. dtion. It is a well known fact that many thousand children are cu. tied off annually, at this important crisis, in fits and convulsions.— No antidote hitherto introduced for alleviating the distressing paroxysms endured by the tender infant, at this period, can boast of equal merit. It cools and comforts the gums; assuages the most violent anguish consequent on their inflammation ; and its demulcent properties to soften and render elastic these acute parts as generally to produce the teeth in their regular order with incredible ease sad ra. pidity, without constipating the bowels and exciting other baneful ef- 1 fects ; by which the necessity of lancing the gums, so pregnant with dangerous results, is entirely superseded. The fond mother, sympa thizing with her tender offspring in its writhing agonies, will be lost in astonishment at the value of this discovery. It is introduced at the lowest price by the Proprietor, from the pure intention of rendering a universal benefit to this class of sufferers, who ever claim our warm. est sympathy. The following Letter will prove it is The Mothcr's Best Compahig for the Nursery.' "Art. 5.

No. 1, Queen's Row, Palmer's Village, Westminster, Nov. 7, 1830, Sta—ln hopes that all parents will try the same remedy, I hove thought it my duty to inform you that your Golden Balm has wrought the greatest wonder in my Child, aged 7 months, in taking one bottle only. I cannot describe the agony she endured from her gums before its use. Night after night she deprived me of rest by constant crying, and nothing seemed to give her a moment's ease, and I was often afraid she would expire in convulsion fits. Her gums were very hard, and much swelled and inflamed. She had wasted away to a mere shadow. But, Sir, only judge of my astonishment ! A few drops rubbed on her gums gave her immediate ease. I applied it two or three times a day always with the same effect ; her bowels, which were very costive, be came regulated ; and I thank God the child is fast recovering its flesh, and strength. She has since cut two teeth with considerable ease. In writing this I perform a duty I owe to you and the public. Your humble servant, Witness, Sarah Hanford. MARY CARTER. The above article, and the " Balsamic Elixir," as stated below, are prepared by the Proprietor, Henry Congrev., 30, College.street, Chelsea, with the greatest care, from the original recipes, his late father having been a medical man of very respectable, extensive, and sue ecastul practice, during a period of more than a quarter of a century. The public may confidently rely on their intrinsic value, which, in private practice, and since their public introduction, have been de veloped in an astonishing degree.

IT is an old saving, " Tell the truth and fear nobody."— There are Ladies and Gentlemen in Great Britain, as well as on the Continent, who have been humbugged by various pretenders ; some prepare Pastes or Powders ; others Tinctures, &c. for Dying the Hair. The Pastes and Powders are generally prepared with lime, white lead, mercury, or other such slow poisons, which are injurious to health, and troublesome to use, as they .are obliged for hours to have cabbage leaves or wet skins on their bead, to prevent burning the hair, and at last it does not answer the purpose, as several gentlemen who have used it to their whiskers have been obliged to bave them shaved off, as it made them dark at the tips and white at the roots, which made them look like a magpie, and those who used tinctures, which are generally prepared with lunar caustic, silver, &c. which generally turns the hair purple; but the IMPROVED RUSSIA DYE, with the extra gold ingredient, is now proved to be the only article that will change red or grey hair to brown black in a few mi nutes, and is quite innocent, and changes grey hair as quick as ink does paper ; and when the roots of the whiskers, when they grow, and naturally be grey, are painted with a pencil with some Russia Dye, they will immediately turn dark, which is a great ornament to gentlemen ; and also when gentlemen have thin grey whiskers, the Im plored Runia Dye, with the extra gold ingredient, makes them not only dark, but also makes them look nearly double the quantity, which the Proprietor will convince Gentlemen who call upon him. And still further to convince Gentlemen, if they call at the Proprietor's, No. 9, Poland -street, Oxford-street, every Wednesday, from Twelve till Three, they will see a Gentleman, above 65 years of age, with whiskers of a beautiful brown black, like a Young Gentleman of 30. The Proprietor will thank Venders, who have any Russia Dye on hand before it was improved with the extra gold ingredient, to send it him, and he will change it, as the Proprietor wishes none to be sold unless prepared with the extra Ingredient, as the Proprietor must con. teas they were a little humbugged also. Ask for Prince's Improved Russia Dye, Half-a-Guinea a Bottle Two Bottles for One Pound, or a Dozen for 51. Also, TO WEARERS OF FALSE HA IR.—A Valuable Discos ery to Ladies and Gentlemen who wear false hair, as by putting a little of that valuable discovery, the GOLDEN CEMENT, inside the false hair, it will stick tight on the bead, and not move, as if it had grown there, without having occasion for any fastening. The Faculty have, of late, found out that persons who wear false hair fastened by springs, strings, or any other tightness, makes a mark round the bead, and prevents the blood from circulating, and subjects the wearers to head.aches, giddiness, apoplexy, and other complaints; but by using that great discovery, the Golden Cement, the false hair will be worn comfortably (and Is as pure and innocent as gold), and the wearer will not be subject to the above complaints. There are several krir.dressers who fasten the false hair with paste, gums. &c. which, %hen plaistered on the head, are also unhealthy, as they stop tie circulation of the pores; and besides, it is not safe, for if a gentleman takes his hat off, hr has a chance to take the false bait with it, as they do rot keep the false hair tight to the head ; but when the false hair is is,teced with the Golden Cement, nothing will remove it from the eta', unless taken off purposely. Particulars are in the direction, so as any lady or gentleman may u.e it themselves with ease in a moment; and if any gentleman will f.nrou r the Proprietor with a call, he will show him how to fasten the false hatr, and will convince hint that the ('olden Cement is the most valuable article for the purpose. -, 1 ! , ", persona wearing artifi c i a l teet h, b y putt i ng a little of the Goo.en Cement on the top of the false teeth, they will stick t • the i:enr, without any other fastening. There are several ladies and zentlemen who wear whole top sets of artificial teeth, with no other Listening but a little Golden Cement. Ask for Prince's Golden Cement, Half-a-Guinea a Bottle.

There is no newts to.day, unless the contradiction of yesterday's ru mours can be called news. The Afonitetsr of this day formally de. nics the statenteut in the National of vesterday, that despatches had arrived to Government from Marshal - hlaison, the French Ambassa.. dor, Cl Vienna, announcing that the Austrians were about to declare tar against France forthwith. The only true part of that announce ment was that "despatches had arrived from Marshal Maicon ;" but thcir contents were very different from those stated by the National. The last edition. , of the 3fessayer des Chambres, of yesterday did not contain the extracts from a letter from Vienna, containing state ments somewhat similar to those of the National, which had been pub lished in the earlier edition, of that paper. Austria is increasing her army to the extent stated by the Afessager, but that measure is merely precautionary, and has been deemed neces sary, by the new levies of 80,000 men called out by Marshal &Wi— llie conscripts for 1830. It would not be difficult to assign a motive for the article In the • National' jti-; at the close ot the liquidation (settlement); but that motive is • o di•lionsst, that no newspaper so respectable as the ' Na. tional' could have been influenced by it. The Editor Joust have been imposed on. There is one pleasing eirclue,tance connected witi• the Libor. TN: object of the fabrieatorr of th• intelli.tenc, was aignclly defeated. The great speculators of the • Ileum' (bulls) were not intimidated by it, and a rise of prices tsvt, the consequence. The operations of this day have been effected at fur.h:r improvement—so that a repetition of such a nefarious attempt is no. probable. Paris is all life gaiety, and amusement. Th e Ki ng o t t h e F rench nevi:: ed the National guards of Paris and its environs on the Champ de Mars. There were neatly one hundred thousand troops present, and cettainly as many spectators. The weather is delightful. The sky is, blue—tit. sun warm and genial ; and a gentle breeze prevents the mass from being optimised by the heat of the day. The gay Parisians h.O tened to the field by tens of thousands. Nothing to-day Is thought of but ths review. Let us, however, devote a few minutes to the Bon d. mnation of the nature and influence of this new and important In stitution. One hundred thousand citizens armed in the capital of France, to defend the charter, the throne, and the property, and lives of Frcr.checen, from external, as well as interrad enemies ! There is some thing imposin7, in this. But there are many who vi ew i n t hi s f orce so impo ing, and so splendid, reasons for anxiety and care. They say diet one hundred thousatid national guards can at all times command Pad,. and that Paris will ever command France ! They say, that whilst they would be moat useful to defend Paris from a foreign siege, or .o match to the aid of the Departments in case of an attack—that they t.ould be, on the other hand, powerful auxiliaries to a despotic minis. ter, and would prevent the success of a revolution, should one ever be rendered necessary for the defence of the revolution of July. They hay that if Charles X. had not dissolved the National Guards, but had continued to patronise and review them, he might have thrust his famous ordinances, dowu the throats of the Parisians last July, and might have defied sueevasfally the cries of the people. They say, that should Louis! Philippe, or any future Monarch, sign ordinances of au objectionable and illegal character, any popular movement would be put (loan by the National Guard, and the ordinances would remain laws—whereas, if the National Guards did not exist, the people would he again victorious, and the ordinances would be destroyed. Whilst, therefore, they view with pleasure the organization of the National Guard, to defend France against a common and a foreign foe, tbcy view with anxiety and alarm, the constant interference of the National Guards, to put down the expression of public opinion, and to Interfere between the governors and the governed. LEIPSIC, MAT 9. " The cholera morbus commits dreadful ravages In the Russian army thirty thousand solidus arc said to be affected by it, and this is the cause of Diebitch's temporary retreat. Tbc breve Skrsynseki is nevertheless in pursuit of him, harassing and weakening MI, torch in erery manner. It is raid that Diebitsch made an offer to tb.: Lithuniaus in his army to return, if they did not like to fight agaiutr chit countrymen, and that some who accepted the offer were immedi 4.1 y sent off to Siberia. The Russian officers arc eery much dissatisfies', the army having lost 80,000 men since the beginnitt, of the catnral,gn. Notwithstanding this, the inhabitants of Warsaw do oot rejoice. Business is entirely at a stand, ant; the troubles of war and other disastrous circumstances combine to render them unhappy. The choler.: morbus has acquired a formidable character there, but it fa E r 3.E.t confined to the old town, where the population is most dense. Measures have ken taken to prevent the spreading of :his aorta. gious disease. We are now afrr.id that we shall not be spared here. Symptoms of the cholera have alnady appeared. It would be a very great misfortune if our country were to be visited by this evil." MADRID, May 5. The style of the letters of invitation for the anniversary rcrvice of the 2d of Muy (the anniversary of the massacre of the Frcreh at Madrid) were, on this occasion, printed with u prudent fen rv.: which deserves remark. During the preceding years, there per vatted, in the at)1:: if these productions, a desire to extend and sate the hatred, al. t eily so general, between the Fr e n c h an d S pan = t•ut this year they were contented to speak merely of " the fol. diers of Na f•uleon.'r Those who are punctillious in diplomacy see in this little matter a tendency to conciliate t ranee, which is not always here the prevailing taste. There has been within the last few days a great movement of cou riers here, and the news was rife of a change of Ministers in England. This expectation infused joy among the A postolicals. Already they saw the Duke of iFeliingion at the head of affairs ; but the Paris journals of the 25th have destroyed these bright hopes, and the dissolution of the Parliament of firgland has carried consternation among them. We are hourly expecting the return of Count Ofalia, our Amber:. sador in France. Some people ascribe his journey to personal con. siderationa : others give to it a political character. Our Government looks as if it were going to humanize itself. The desperate state of M. Bringas paralyses the good intentions of the mild commission, which only asks to show its zeal. Nevertheless, they have this day arrested a lady of quality. The Duke of Brunswick is to be received at our Court as a Sovereign Prince. The Omni*, however, so secluded, that we know not what passes therein. 51. de Harcourt, the French Minister, is still under the ban of the Apostolicals. He must be a bold man who now ventures to visit him. M. o has promised to provide money for our Government. Hie suplt all are the only chines they have of conducting their present system. LISBON. MAT 5. Dou 101 11 11 . 71 has come tardily into accord with the demands of the British Government. The.day before yesterday the English Consul- General received notice from Viscount Santarem, that his Government was rendy to fulfil the demands made by the British Government and upon the strength of this sesuranet the Consul despatched the steam. vessel, with notice to this effect, to the Commander of the squadron. Tatterday morning, however, the Lisbon Garettt only presented a ful iltnent of part of the conditions, and with this the Consul could not 161 satisfied. In the course of the day a British resident hers (a mer- Ghent) received a request from Don 3liguel to wait on him; and was qestialoned (camber his son, I believe, who attended for him), as to Itis sincere opinion of what would be she result, if the demands in ques tile wan nut fully complied with, especially if he thought reprisals would be tu.sde, or the force. from Terceira be resisted by the British squadron, In their descent upon Portugal. To the former he answered la the affirmative; bp die latter he replied, that perhaps they might no: waist, but that probably they would not prevent. This morning some further concessions appeared in Alto George with eceard to the " tuned Veriesimo." The steam-bust went, out spin bout eleven, sad returned about one or two o'cLich, along with the squaluct, which was seen ailing majestically upon the Tagus. Hemel lit Ice prumnsed that the Consul is satisfied with what has been done, parthe matter Is considered as settled. Today there is a report in i wn that the Consul has received special advice, from Oporto. It is staffin, that at the time the bearer of them left Oporto. two Preach of war were seen off the port on their way southward, which are' considered to be the two frigates expected here from Brest. It is also reported with great confidence that the Government has received &deices from St. Michael's, that 17 vessels had been seen at Terceira, supposed to be for the embarkation of troops. Yesterday 20 prisoners were brought in from the country, and con fined to the walls of the Limolera, for having spoken their sentiments a little too openly. Several are taken up in Lisbon every day, for the same indiscretion. I transmit you the two Casettes containing the , public concessions of the Portuguese Government. LONDON BRIDGE AND THE WORKS. The works of London Bridge present at this time a most interesting display of active industry. Public bridges for general convenience have of late years improved the ap pearance of the metropolis. Waterloo-bridge when finished, was the admiration of all who walked over it ; and London bridge, which is near completion, must be equally admira ble. This fine structure is now open to the passenger, on payment of a trifle, which is applied to the relief of the work men who may sustain accidental injuries. The foot-ways on both sides are paved with granite, and the parapets raised to the height of four feet. Looking over this convenient breast-high wall, the passenger may enjoy a splendid pros pect. The view to the east down the river, is more exten sive than upon the old bridge. We behold the Custom-house, the Docks, the Tower, and a forest of masts, forming what the Emperor Alexander of Russia called the grandeur of England. A thousand pennants floated in the breeze, whilst the colours of all the trading nations of Europe do homage to English commerce ; in the back ground rise the hillsof Kent; inshorta more exquisite picture of national greatness cannot meet the gaze of Briton or foreigner.— Bringing our glances to the foreground of the subject, we are struck by the decayed appearance of the old bridge, and almost shudder at the danger which heavy carriages, bearing the traffic of London, seem to run in the passage over it.— Nearly the whole of the piers and arches exhibit the dilapi dation. of time. Heavy timher has been applied as neces sary to insure the safety of passengers, and we have no doubt the surveyors have rendered the bridge secure ; but still no one can look at it front the new bridge without the feeling we hnvo described. On the western side we see the ancient and beautiful church or monastery of St Mary Over- Rev, unencumbered by the miserable and dirty habitations which some time since concealed the gothic ornaments of the eastern e%tremity. The parish hive incurred great expense upon repairs, and it stands now an object of great impor tance. The approaches to the bridge form a gentle rise upon arches, and lead to a spacious opening. That end of the bridge next the city is not so forward with respect to the works as the Southwark end. The removal of the church of St. Michael, Crooked-lane, is not yet accomplished, part of the tower is still standing, and parts of the ancient walls, buried many feet under' ground, remain to be deg up. These walls a; pear to have been composed of Kentish chalk and flint, hardened by time to solid masses almost impenetrable ; but the great undertak ing which must delay the formation of approaches to the bridge on the city side, is the immense sewer which is to open into the river below the bridge. A vast number of workmen are now employed upon the excavation. The ground has been opened on the east of the site of St. Mi chael's • church, and the plan is to tunnel the sewer at the depth of thirty-six feet under the houses, as we were in formed, nearly as far as St. Paul's. The sewer will receive the smaller streams of drainage, and carry the whole to one common discharge. Digging for the sewer the men hare cut through a stratum of fine red gravel, twenty feet thick, and below that they have a strata of clay and sand to the depth of eight or ten feet. It is said, but we have seen none, that Roman coins, tiles, vases, and other antiquities have been found in the soil. The skull, with the horns of a ram, was thrown up yesterday, and handed out for the inspection of the curious. The horns, and the bone, which inclosed the brains of the animal, were perfect in form, but pulpous. The whole had the appearance of a substance which had been long buried in the earth. Having to remove the ground about St. Michael's church the men frequently find bones of the dead buried years since under the vaults of the edifice, coffins are placed near the spot, and the fragments of frail mortality are again prepared for re-interment. This busy scene is the daily resort of spectators, who. whilst they behold modern architecture displayed in the new bridge, may see the destroying scithe of time sweeping away monuments of ancient grandeur, art, and industry. 412 NEWS FOR THE HUNGRY !—MOOre and Shaw's coin mittee have promised the non-resident electors of the city, who will vote against the reform bill, that they will be fed, and their travelling expenses paid to and from Dublin.— Several buttermilk cars, we understand, were pressed for the service on Saturday, and a ton of potatoes and three hogs heads of small beer ordered for the accommodation and nou rishment of the anti-reformers.—Freeman's Journal. Tuesday last, as Robert Ferguson, Esq the popular can didate for the district of burghs, was passing through King horn on his way to Raith, he was recognised by the flax dressers there, who instantly unyoked the horses, and drew him to a considerable distance out of the town, cheer ing when they went along, as a demonstration of their con-, fidence in him, who is to be their future representative., When the horses were again,put in,the carriage, Mr. Fer guson presented them with .a one pound note, for the pur pose of drinking to King William's health ; which they did, but at their own expense ; astd the money received from Mr. Ferguson was on the day following distributed among 20 of the most needy in the town.
