The subject of discussion was the motion of M. Sr. AULAIRE, relative to the conduct of the Public Prosecutor, in inserting in the indict ment drawn up against BERTON and his associates, the names of four Members of that Chamber. The cruelty and injustice in this case lie not in the simple mention of the names, for so long as the acte (Caeca ration in France contains the depositions of the wit nesses on whose testimony the charge is supported, and so long as these depositions are put down in the slip shod and irregular manner that they are taken by the Public Prosecutor, such an occurrence would be un avoidable—hut in the circumstance, that the person on wbo,e e uthotity the character of the Deputies is implicated, is absent, and therefore can afford no op portunity on cross-examination, or by being con fronted r l / 4 ith other witnesses, to disprove his calumnies. Ire such a case, common justice and candour should have restrained the Crown Officer of Poitiers from inserting a statement which could not be proved, or exciting a prejudice which could not be removed. The debate was conducted throughout with mo deration and decorum, which are not always main tained in the French Senate, and the very singular ph.roomenon of a debate with but one tumul tuous interruption has excited the admiration of the Parisian Journ.tlists. 44 This discussion," says the Quolidienne, " in which the Chamber exercised for the first time the high degree of judicial power, which belongs to it, offered an imposing spectacle of tran quillity and dignity. A single interruption, which our Rea.lers will easily appreciate, broke in upon the solemn silence with which the Chamber listened to the speeches of the Hon. Members who spoke in the course of this important discussion." We Should re mirk, that M. de LA BOURDONNAYE, as the organ of the Ultra-Royalists not in office, spoke of the Minis s as not having answered the expectations formed of them, and pointed, though in a somewhat ambi g aous manner, at the necessity of a closer :onnection v..ith the Holy Alliance for the purpose of stopping the progress of liberty. There is no stronger sign of the bent of public opinion in France than this—that the most perfectly and fanatically Royalist Ministry that can be formed finds itself obliged for its own safety to moderate the violence of its theories, and to incur the displeasure of its speculative adherents. The discussion excited unusual interest. At one o'clock all the Deputies who were to be present were in their places; and many persons who could not procure admittance to hear the debate, continued to liter near the entrance of the Hall till nearly the mid of the sitting. M. de Sr. AULAIRI4 who opened the debate, con demned in severe terms the conduct of the Public Prosecutor, who, in the Act of Accusation, had mani festly attempted to represent the honourable Depu ties as the principal criminals in the affair of Saumur• lle concluded by moving that the Public Prosecutor should be brought to the Bar of the Chamber. Other Members spoke in favour of and against the motion, which was negatived by a majority of 99 The trial at Colmar seems to have made even the. Manisterialists ashamed ; for the Journal des Debats ',imply says, that " the audience of the 80th of July was occupied by depositions which maybe locally in teresting, but which, at the distance at which we are, and for readers far from the place of trial, are not calculated to throw any great light on the facts of the accusation." Truly, we think, this might have been said of all the testimony in the course of the trial that we have been made acquainted with. It would, how ever, have been a curiosity to have seen something less important than the evidence of the first days of the trial, which the Parisian Papers did report. We sce, however, that the shadowy nature of the evi dence is admirably well accounted for by M. de la, BOVIIDONNAYS, who lays it down, that " the more' extended plots become, the fewer the traces which they leave behind"—a fine exemplification of the burlesque lines of the Duke of Buckingham : " My wound is great, because It is eo entail; Then 'mould be greeter were It none as all!" The Courier 'Lanais states, that accounts, had arrived from Mahlrid to the 28th ult. and - that the Capital never enjoyed greater tranquillity. Mita- TINES de la Ross had resigned the Ministry for Fo reign Affairs, and Loru BANOS, who has been no minated Minister of War, was daily expected. French Funds on Monday, Five per Cent. 92f. 55c. This forenoon we received a Flanders Mail, bring ing Brussels Papers to the 7th inst. The Aulic Coun cil of War, at Vienna, has sent a dispatch to Captain ARMIN, commanding the Austrian naval division in the Levant, stating that the Greeks havicarried into :Missolonghi some Austrian merchantmen, with their Captains and crews, and ordering him to correspond with the English and French Commanders in the Levant, on the best means of protecting the vessels of their respective countries from molestation. Accounts from the frontiers of Mcldavia, of the 14th, say, " The evacuation of the Principalities is hitherto confined to the Janissaries. Letters received from Jassy, by the two last posts, state, that the Pacha has received a Firman, ordering the retreat of the Janissaries; - but nothing is at present said of the de parture of the other Turkish troops." An article from Frankfort, dated July 28, con tains the following ;—" The news of the success of the Greeks has excited general satisfaction in Ger many. Subscriptions continue to be opened in several large towns, and young men, both military and stu dents, successively depart for the Peloponnesus, to combat under the standards of Independence. At Geneva a subscription has been opened at Messrs. Heutsch and Co.'s for the relief of the Irish. Switzerland will doubtless the more readily concur in this measure; it will thereby at once fulfil the du ties of humanity, and pay a tribute of gratitude. The English hate at all times been eager to relieve Swit zerland in its calamities, and the indigent Swiss.svho are in London daily experience the effects of English beneficence. The Crown Prince of SWEDES has been on a visit to the King of the NKTIIERLANDS, at Loo, where he was received in the kindest manner. On the 2d inst. the flood-gates of the new bason at Ostend were carried away by a very high sea. YUMA, JULY 21.—Meta11. 79 7-16—Bank Shares, 760 4-5. Dutch Papers to the 6th instant have been received' The following is the only intelligence worth quoting: HAGUE, AUGUST 2. The law on the levying of the Salt Duty has passed the Second Chamber, by a majority of 32, the num bers being—For the Law, 69; Against it, 37. The later all belong to the Southern Provinces. Amu:sr s.—The Law on the Duty on Meal (la Mouturei has been passed, by 59 votes to 50. All the Members of the Northern Provinces, except two, were for the Law, and all those from the Southern, except six, against it. rETERSBURGIL JULY 19. The Conservateur of to-day contain? the Ukase re storing the free port of Odessa, dated July 9, and consisting of 16 articles. The line is nearer the bounds or the town than before, the better to prevent smuggling. Some goods for the use of the town pay one-fifth of the duty. We have this morning received intelligence from Bayonne to the 2d instant, which contain some in teresting details as to the relative force of the French and Spanish troops on the frontier. It appears that the French cordon from Thoulouse to Perpignan consists of about '20,000 men, of whom 3000 are Cavalry,•and three brigades of eight pieces of cannon each. The troops posted on the frontiers from Thoulouse to Bayonne are estimated at 10 or 12,000. The garrison at the latter place consists , of 1000 Foot, 300 Artillery also on foot, 100 mounted, and 60 of the train. The statement adds, that pretty considerable contracts for provisions and forage have lately been concluded. Workmen are busily employed in making 6,000 uniforms and other things for the division of the Army of the Faith under Quesada, who has lately received, by contraband, a great number of muskets, ammunition, and four field-pieces. This General is' certainly protected, though it cannot be said by whom.' On the other hand, it is a fact that the French doua niers are very vigilant to prevent the passage of all kinds of arms and ammunition to the Peninsula - , and only the day before yesterday they seized 50,000 cartridges, and 100 muskets. This fact is an answer I to the imputations of the Spanish Government, re specting the protection and succour which it says the Defenders of the Faith have received in France. . These people have certainly been protected by a secret hand, for everybody knows that Quesada pre pared his expedition on the French territory. Addresses continue to pour in from the Spanish Provinces to the King, the Permanent Deputation of the Cones, and the National Militia, on the affair of the 7th instant, all full of patriotic expressions, and sentiments of indignation at the conduct of the Guards. Some of these are very violent, as will appear by the following extract from that of the Garrison and Local Militia of Saragossa, addressed to his Majesty on the 24th of July ; " autalruar perjured sad aocaoldtadovecoaduat, tits bad faith of your Blioisters. the perfidious counsel, of the men who surround you, and whom you in vain persist k keeping about you, contrary to the general opinion of your subjects, are the true causes of the misfortunes and disorders which abet this heroic nation, which has made so many asaillem to deiend the throne on which it has replaced you) and width wen deserved, u a reward, that wise Coadtution which yen have spontaneously embraced, and solemnly sworn to observe sad to consolidate. While the blood of the many victims fails la the late war for our Independence is still reeking, the support which the foreign and domestic enemies of our fine Institutional have found in your Majesty's Government, has plunged the whole nation into an abyss of misfortunes which threaten to swallow up the Throne and the nation." The Addresses . from the Constitutionalists of Vit toria, Bilboa, and St. Sebastian, are in the same style. Lopez Banos anived at Madrid on the 29th, and General Equinosa, who succeeds him, entered Vit toria on the SOth. The Deputy Calatrava, who is appointed Minister of the Interior, has left Bilboa for Madrid, with an escort of 100 men. Lopez Banos has at length accepted the Ministry, and the Deputy Sincho succeeds Martinez de la Rosa as Minister of State. Thus there are now three Ministers of the po pular party. The latest accounts respecting Quesada are con tradictory, but the result seems to be, that he main tains his position in the mountains and keeps on the defensive, making excursions into the plain, which harass the constitutional troops. ENGLISH THEA FRICALS IN PARIS. " Oh, shame to thee, Land of the Gaul! " The savage, all wild in hie den. " Is nobler and better than thou!" Brum " Que liable sons ils venu fairs duns ceUe galirie !" TO TIIE EDITOR OF THE STAR. " PARIS, •UGUST 5, ISM _ _ - " Sta—l lose no time in giving you information of what has come to my knowledge respecting the outrageous treatment that the English Company of Theatrical Performers are now ex posed to in the French Capital. These ill-advised and very ill used persons have engaged the Theatre of the Port St. Martin for twelve nights, and on the 31st ult. began their representations with the performance of Othello. Long before the doors could be opened, however, a countless multitude of the Parisian mob, of all ranks and classes, had assembled, for what purpose will appear hereafter. It is evident that very few, if any, of the French had any intention of hearing the Play, or of allowing others to hear it. The crush at entrance was tremendous ; at length all whom the House could hold were seated ; a spirit of mischief and ill will towards the English was apparent before the curtain rose, but the instant the Performers appeared and began to speak, they were assailed with shouts, hisses, mockery, and every species of insolent and brutal derision. " Some of the wits of this modern Athens, or the heroes of this modern ROW, amused themselves with braying like sues, others by crowing like cocks (forgetting, I suppose, how often their crest has proved a craven)--othars, in a strain of ingenious and elegant pleasantry, called out to the actors, Mots, parks done Franiaise ." The performers continued to go through the busi ness of the first act with invincible composure and courage, which, of course, the French call phlegnse. " But when from verbal outrages and shoots of obstreperous laughter; the gentry of the parterre proceeded to pelt the Actors with all the small %ear, of annoyance within their reach, the Per formers began to see the necessity of making a sudden retreat, and therefore skipped the third and fourth Acts, in order to pro ceed to the fifth, hoping perhaps to conciliate their auditory by the simulation of scenes of ferocity, to which they :hewed so great a disposition in reality. " The Parisians could not, however, wait patiently even for the pleasure of seeing an English-woman assassinated, but pro ceeded to accelerate her doom by pelting the actress with ap ples ; one of them struck her violently on the eye ; she retired in tears and terror. The male performers were roused to indig nation—the parterre rose in a body—the musicians made their escape in dismay—the gens d'armes made some faint shew of a purpose to protect the English. The amateurs of tumult rushed upon the stage, and confusion reigned throughout the walls " At the commencement of these creel and cowardly out. rages, an EditOr of a Ministerial Paper, M. de Martainville, spoke from the boxes, and endeavoured to persuade the pit to peace and reason. For this offence he was insulted throughout the whole of the second act ; fifty voices at a time roared out in cessantly,' Martainville dla ports ! Martainville a la pork !' Last night, August P., the English attempted to play again; the prices were raised in order to secure a better class of company. " You will ask what notice the English residents and visitors here take of this outrage to their countrymen?—None, as yet. I suppose they are too much stunned and amazed to be able to decide on anything : but I venture to propose two measures of just retribution and expediency. , 4 The first that we all subscribe to indetnnify our insulted countrymen for the loss of their expected profits, and send them back forthwith to England : the other, that we all enter into an agreement never to set our feet within the doors of the Porte St• Martin till the Thames and the Seise have ceased to flow." Yesterday, the Duke of YORK transacted military business with the KING. The LORD CHANCELLOR had an audienco of his MAJESTY yesterday. After the Cabinet Council on Wednesday, the Earl of LIVERPOOL left town for Combe Wood, the Mar quis of LONDONDERRY for North Cray, and the Caen. CELLOR of the EXCHEQUER for Blackheath. The Duke and Duchess of BEDFORD and family are expected at Wooburn Abbey on the 18th inst. from their seat Tavistock House, Devonshire. The Duke of BUCKINGHAM and a large party of friends have arrived in his yacht at Plymouth. Viscount ALTHORPE has left Wiseton Hall, York shire, for theD u Its of DZVONSHI Res seat,Bolton Abbey. The Earl and . Countess of HARROWBY left town on Wednesday for Tunbridge Wells, for a few days, on their way to German Spa. The Ladies MARY and GEORGINA RIM= and the Hon. Mr. RYDER, followed this day. netady FALMOUTH left Lady A. SOMIRSIT'S seat, Bristol, on Monday, for Tregothan, Cornwall. Every one has heard of the coarse answer of Lord THURLOW, when told that there was an insurrection in the Isle of Man, and which he compared to a storm in a certain chamber utensil. Of just as much importance is the dispute betwe en the Duke of ATHOL, the Governor in Chief of the Isle of Man, and the House of Parliament there, relative to the nomination of some persons to office, and which has terminated in an adiournment, prorogation, or di sso l ut i on o f t h e HMS. of Keys, dia the Parliament of the Isle of Man. THE fINO'S FRIT TO SCOTLAND. P rm. several days his MAJESTY'S loyal subj_ ects in the City have waited in anxious expectation for an official communication announcing the time of Maim-ries departure on his visit to Scotland, in ea der that they might manifest their affection and re.. spect in the highest possible manner. No inform*. don, however, upon which much reliance could be placed, was received upon the subject until Tem: day, when the Chief Magistrate had due notificarioh that on Saturday morning, at half-past eight o'clock, the Ktuo would embark at Greenwich. This Doti. ication was acceppanied by a wisb a non the p i of his MAJE STY , t h at h e should be attended as EST as the City limits extended, by the LORD MAYOR and great Corporate Bodies. His Lordship, long before he had been put in possession of his Maiam's in. tendon of leaving Greenwich on Saturday,.had given orders to the Water Bailiff and other officers under his jurisdiction on the Thames, to prepare the City barge with all possible splendour for the occasion of the Royal departure, having at an early period beet assured that his MAJESTY was determined to set sail within the City boundaries. He also sent round to die several Companies; expressing his belief that it would be a source of gratification to the KING to see as numerous and respectable a body of Citizens as could be conveniently collected on the River to wit ness the embarkation. The hint was taken with ala crity, and already a number of elegantly ornamented barges are ranged together in the Thames, as much in the neighbourhood of the grand entrance, as the Commodore, Sir CHARLES PAGET, will petmit. His Lordship will embark at the Tower-stairs, on Satur day morning at six o'clock, in order that he may ar rive at Greenwich an hour and a half before. his MA JEsTY shall reach the Royal yacht. The LORD MAYOR will proceed in his barge, which is to'be tossed aking by a steam-boat, immediately before the Royal yacht, AS his Lordship will attend upon the occa ion as Chief Conservator of the Thames, and not in his office of Mayor. As soon as the Loan MAYOR shall have reached the Medway, where the City boun daries have their limit, the City barge will saline the Royal yacht, and immediately return to the City. The company in the City barge is to consist of the Loan MAYOR, the Lady Mayoress, all the Aldermen and their Ladies, the whole amounting to about fifty. His Lordship will attend in full dress. FROSI TILE RDINBURGH STAR OF TUEsDAT. Saturday, the City of Edinburgh steam packet ar rived at Newhaven with upwards of 100 packages belonging to his MAJESTY. The same •essel also brought a large quantity of poultry. The above poultry, it was at first stated, had been brought for his MAJESTY'S use, and that each of weighed seven or eight pounds; but we have the best authority for saying that they are not intended fdr the K t NG'S table: they are the private propel ty of M. SPIKE, a London poulterer, who brought them ‘l,7,wa on his own speculation solely, thotrgh in the eipe:ta• tion of having the honour of supplying hi , Maiesris establishment with that article. He WAS, however, told that the KING'S Purveyor had contracted with poulterers in Edinburgh for whatever of the kind might be wanted during his MaJzsrv's stay. We understand that no provisions that are not the produce of Scotland will be set upon the KiNo's t.ibie while his MAJESTY shall continue in Scotland. Mr. FLORA NCR, Purve) or to the Kt Ko, has forrrei 'a very extensive dairy at Dalkeith, for the set v ice of his MAJESTY's table. Only the butter and cream are to be retained for that pur l o,e. Tire hole of the milk and butter-milk is to be distributed amongst tile poor of Dalkeith and its neighbourhood, by order of his MAJESTY. This distribution, we understand, is to commence to-day. There is also a laundry formed for the use of :is MAJESTY'S Household ; and, when the KINO arrives, there is to be a poor's-pot established, from whence the poor of Dalkeith, &c. are to be served with good wholesome broth and a proportion of the brokel victuals, as was the ancient custom of the august family of BUCCLEUGII during the life-time of many former Duke.. There is also a similar establishment to be at the Waterloo Hotel—whence all the broken meat, &:. will be distributed amongst the poor p.i. toners, poor-house, &c. daily. It is now believed, that, whether the KING lands at Leith or at Newhaven, he is certainly to proceed to Edinburgh by the way of Leith Walk. No city in Europe can boast a nobler avenue. The Kiser will be in his travelling carriage, which is to meet him at the shore, aad his progress on this occasion is not to be considered as his public and formal en trance into the city. His carriage will be escorted, as it is understood, by a party of the Yeomanry Ca valry of the County of Mid-Lothian. The Edinburgh troop will be assembled close to a temporary arch erected opposite Picardy-place. There the Royalty begins ; there the LORD PROVOST and Magistrates. the Sheriff, and other official persons, meet the Royal carriage. The ancient silver keys of Edinburgh are presented to the KING, who immediately returns them to the Loan PROVOST. The Edinburgh troop of Cavalry, commanded by Captain Roaster Coca aupt, Lieutenant ADAM HAY, and Cornet DONALD HORNE, is then formed into two squadrons, one of which precedes, and the other follows the Royal equi page throughout the rest of the progress to Holy rood. The line of march which has been determined on is understood, from excellent authority, to be as fol lows, viz. Leith-walk, York-place, Queen-street, Char. lotte-square, Prince's -street, Waterloo-bridge, and so down to the Palace of Holyrood by the new line of approach which has been formed in that direction. The KING, having reached Holyrood House, will view the Palace at his leisure, and proceed psivatelf to Dalkeith House, where he is expected to sleep every night during his stay in this neighbourhood. The House of Dalkeith contains a very noble entrance-ball and staircase, and a suit of rooms every way such as his MAJESTY is likely to approve of. The furniture, which is plain, but very handsome, remains as it is, with the exception of a magnificent state bed, which has just been put up fur the Kiwo's use, under the directions of Mr. TROTTEE. The KIND has sent daw's his plate, and is to receive his personal friends at din ner, &c. in Dalkeith House. The whole of the Wa terloo Hotel has been engaged for the use of his MA JESTY'S suite, who have their own cooks, &c. Variou s tables are to be kept there every day, at the KIN G S expense, for the accommodation of his attendants, in their different orders and classes. Another table is
