The Constitutions:el adds, that the Theatre was ultimately cleared by the Gendarmerie, as well as the Boulevards in the vicinity; that some :chafges were made, and that several individuals were wounded. le ;tits and acts secret socL_ were included in the indictment, he may next send Commissions to examine the descantisados of Madrid, the Carbonari of Naples, the Radicals of England, or the Whiteboys of Limerick. A •ery curious exhibition took place in the Court on the 27thlultimo; one DESCHAMPS, an Officer of Gendarmerie, who had apprehended Taws', one of the prisoners, in Switzerland, deposed, that he heard of TELL= and WATTBLED being in a farm-house in the Canton of Berne; that he found the former in a loft, or granary; that, as he opened the door to enter it, be heard the report of a pistol, but whether fired within or without, he could not tell ; that, on entering, he saw WarraLan stretched on the floor, quite dead, his face covered with blood, and present ing the appearance of his having shot himself, by putting the pistol to his mouth ; and that he was told by TELLtzn that his comrade had committed suicide. Being asked if there wat any window in the loft ? he answered in the nesitive, though he seemed to see very well the countenance, attitude, ansftiren pistol -- - the same fate, as soon as all the information which she can give shall be obtained from her.

Though that may appear improbable, it is not the less true." French Funds, Aug. 3. _Five per Cents. 92f. 40c. The attempt of some of our Comedians to repre sent English Plays at Paris, has met with treatment so iliiberal as not only proves that the national pre judices of the French are as strong as ever, but that they have no claim to that character for politeness which they so vauntingly boast. Two of the first productions of two of our greatest dramatists, SIIAK• SPEARE and SHERIDAN, and compared with whom their CORNEILLES and MoLtzazs sink into insignifi cance, have been condemned unheard, and the actors treated with the most brutal indignity. It is true that the English Company, which was under the direction of Mr. PeemitY, was not, we believe, calculated to do us much credit for our his trionic talent ; but this was not the cause of the French hostility, for Othello, which was first attempted to be represented on Wednesday last, met with the most decided hostility from the rising of the curtain, and was actually got through in dumb chew. The master piece of SIiIaIDAN, the School for Scandal, was still worse treated on Friday night, as the actors were really driven off the stage; and " the females of the English troop," says a French Paper, •" were assailed by eggs, coins, and apples :" one of the Papers says potatoes were even thrown at them. So much for French gallantry and politeness. One of the French Papers attempts to palliate the conduct of his countrymen by stating that a French Theatre is not authorised but only tolerated in England ; but this very circumstance shews the difference of the na tional character; in England the liberality of the Public neutralizes the restrictions of the laws, while in France the prejudices and hostility of the people defeats the liberality of the Government. But as to the treatment of the French in England, 'HE EVENING STAR. LON I)ON. TUESDAY, AUGUST 6, 1522. THE FUNDS. STOCK EXCHANGR, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The Swiss farmer, or owner of the house, is subse quently examined, and he deposes that the granary has three windows--that the shot which killed WATT.. BLED was fired outside; and that one of the panes of glass was penetrated by the ball, and that pane still remains broken and unrepaired. The President asked this witness " why he had . not repaired his window, and if he preserved the broken pane as an historical monument?" The bench of the accused murmured, and no doubt the Jury thought the ques tion very acute and relevant. The fact is important to the accused party, as the deceased is mentioned in the indictment as committing suicide from re morse, and the perjury of some of the witnesses is evident, as some of them are brought to swear that the shot was filed outside, while others as positively swore that the unhappy man blew out his brains with his own pistol. In the examinations of the 29th, the following sin gular passage occurs :—" The President ordered the depositions of Colonel PA ILIIES on the 15th of March to be read. They referred to his complaints against the bad treatment to which he had been subjected, and against the cruelties of the gendarmes, by whom he had been arrested." " I was," said the accused, ft loaded with irons, chained in my bed, collared, and insulted. I complained to the gensdarme of the bar barity. Ah, al: r said he, g you can speak finely r and rivetted my fetters so as to stop the circulation of my blood. In this state I was conducted to Col. , mar."—The President asked if the Colonel had any thing to add to this statement, andif he persisted in his complaint ? The Colonel replied—" My complaints are true; and by not insisting upon them, I wish it to be understood that I abandon to their own remorse those who have tortured me." DASL AA (one of the prisoners) was then questioned as to the circumstances of his arrest, but he refused to answer, giving as his reason, that he did not wish his sufferings to become the subject of merriment with the Procureur-General, as happened some days ago to his fellow-prisoners. The PROC UR EU GEN ER A That is falte.' The accused rising abruptly, and addressing the Crown Of : " Yes, we all heard you." " Faith," said DADLAR, " I see nothing funny in endeavouring to strike off forty-four heads." An inquiry was instituted on Friday, at the Pre- fecture of Police, to prove the existence of the rings to which Colonel DIIYAY was alleged to have been attached. It was ascertained that there were six iron rings, fixed in the wall at the head of the bed, and six others at the foot of the bed, as was stated by the Colonel in his Petition to the Chamber. The strait waistcoat and gag were likewise produced. The jailers denied that they had put a cord round the neck of the Colonel. The Colonel however begged the Magistrates to observe that these were the men who bad tortured him ; and that they were interested in denying the facts. Besides, though these men had had two months to reflect on their depositions, they varied in the most essential points. Dr. MA IL/SLIN I being interrogated by the Justices, did not hesitate to declare that the efforts made to put on the strait-waistcoat caused the Colonel much pain; and that if his position on the bed, his bead and feet being attached to the rings, was such as the Co lonel had declared, it must have occasioned great pain. The Doctor, moreover, declared, that M. Dv- SAY was at that moment labouring under a severe Foam,.

The judicial authori ties are actively proceeding against the authors of the late conspiracies against the Constitution and li berties of Spain. A Captain of the Royal Guards has been condemned to death for his participation in the plot at Aranjuez, and several of his accomplices have been sent to the gallies. It is also said that sentence of confiscation has been pronounced on the lands of the Infant Don CAaLos, but that the sen tence was submitted for the consideration of the Au. dicucia of Madrid. if we look to the facts, we shall see that it has been not only liberal but even kind ; we need not appeal to that national feeling which was extended to the thousands of unfortunate Emigrants and to the many renegades who so long lived on our bounty during the five and twenty years of the Revolution, to se veral of whom we are yet paying pensions ; we shall confine ourselves to their dramatic and operatic artists, as they call them. Every one knows, that for many years French plays have been most liberally supported at the Ar gyle Rooms, even to the neglect of the national drama ; for such has been the mania of fashion, to prefer the jingling rhymes of the French plays, and the grimace and distorted attitudes of French actors, even to English plays and English players. It is stated in a letter from Vittoria, of the 25th ult. that the Captain of the Guards, who is accused of being one of the principal authors of the revolt, the Count de TORRE-ALTA, was arrested on the bridge of Miranda d'Ebro, on tile 21st ultimo, dis guised as a waggoner. It is supposed that he was attempting to reach the frontiers of France. He was conducted to Vittoria on the 24th. Then there was TALM A and Mademoiselle GEOROgs, who visited us a few years ago, who had a reception more becoming that of a Prince, than individuals who were merely players." We poured our money into their pockets at the Opera House, our Nobility deigned to ask them to their table;, and even' a pub lic dinner was given in honour of the French Roscius. • Again, if we look at the Ring's Theatre, we shall find that three-fourths of the singers and dancers are French, not one of whom ever received an insult from an English audience, but, on the contrary, have been patronized and caressed; and, lastly, we may mention M. ALECANDRE, %vho, without the ingrati tude of his countrymen, after being warmly sup ported for two seasons in London, bore testimony to the liberality and kindness with which we treated him. We by no means wish to censure the British Public for their encouragement of foreigners ; on the con trary, we rejoice at it, and trust that we shall be as proud to excel the French in our liberality as we have been in the glory of our arms ; and when next a French writer talks of the politeness and the gallantry of the is Great Nation," let him reflect on the treat ment of the English Actors at the Theatre de Porte St. Martin. The Indicrtteur of Bourdeaus contains several pri vate letters from Madrid of the 22d ult. all proving tl.at the events of the 7th have given increased energy to Spanish patriotism. They assert most positively that if the projects of the insurgents had not been de feated, foreign armies would have made a movement in advance ; but such is the national spirit that they day foreign interference. One of these letters says, It seems certain that a gratuity of from thirty to forty francs was given to every Guard on the day of the attack, and perhaps for some days preceding it. This has been confessed by some of them ; and it is calculated that this affair and that of the Carabineers must have cost the Servile faction about fifty millions of reals. Nearly all the Guards are either taken or have voluntarily surrendered themselves. A very small number remain concealed, and among them five or six Officers, of whom three, it is said, have received passports from the Ambassador of a foreign Power." The following is an extract from another letter— " Captain Mon (and not Saint Silrnon, as has been said) refuses to answer any interrogatories, except in the presence of the King, the Princes, and General Morino. The Magistrates have in vain represented to burn that persons of this elevated rank cannot be confronted with him; he produces, by way of reply, Letters from Cadiz, of the 16th ult. announce that everything was quiet there, and that an unusual de gree of activity prevailed in that port, in consequence of the safe arrival of the asvannials convoy, having on board a number of emigrants.with their property, from Mexico. 1/15. noßoGotnoN OP PARLIAMENT. This day having been filed for the Prorniation of Parliament, preparations commenced yesterday Wier% noon, at the House of Lords, for the reception of his MaJam. The customary platform, the covered station for the King's carriage at the royal entrance above tote H ouse o f Lords, and the accommodations for the Guards in the Catirt-yard, were erected Forms three or four in depth, were fixed in the Old House of Lords, and in the Painted Chamber, for the let companY.'. - e demands for tickets at the L ORD GazA?

At a quarter past one o'clock his MAJESTY left Carlton House in his State carriage, drawn by eight horses, and proceeded to the House of Lords, at. tended by the usual Officers-of State. The streets through which - the Royal Procession passed were very crowded ; and his MAJESTY, who seetned in excellent health and spirits, was greeted with the most joyful acclamations.

MAJerry !aving been decorated with the-Robes and Other splendid insignia of Royalty, prpeeeded to the House of Lords, and took his seat on the Tl.rone. The Usher of the Black Rod was then ordered to summon the attendance of the Commons, who im mediately appeared at the Bar with the SPEAKER at their head. His MAJESTY then, in a firm and distinct voice s addressed the two Houses, congratulatin g them on the continuance of peace, and the friendly disposition manifested by foreign Powers to this country ; and expressed a hope that the tranquillity of Europe would not be disturbed. His MAJESTY adverted to the improvement of the Revenue, the reductions that had been made in the Pub. lic Eipenditure and Taxation, the flourishing aspect of our Commerce and Manufactures, and the means that had been taken to relieve the distress which un happily prevailed in Ireland. His MAJESTY thanked the House of Commons fc; the supplies they had voted ; and both Houses fc their attention to the public interests during the bus:. ness of a Session of Parliament protracted to an un• usual length. His MAJESTY having concluded, left the House and returned to Carlton Palace in the same order in which he had proceeded to the House. TI e Park and Tower guns were fired on his MA JESTY'S taking his seat on his Throne. THE KING'S COURT.

CAvesnisa, the estates left his Lordship by the Baronet in the counties of York and Lancaster. • Mr. SHILLLSY, the Poet. whose talents were of a very high order, perished at sea on the Sth ult. in a storm on the coast of Italy, near Leghorn. His frierd, Captain WILLIAms, of the Fusileers, shared the same fate with him. Both these Gentlemen have left %%Ives and children to lament their loss. Captain DoasoN, of the Arab, recently arrived in Liverpool, from Smyrna, has brought with him a Greek boy, about tea years of age, whom he actually purchased for eleven shillings. 'The youth was sold at the common bazaar, together with his mother, bra' thers, and sisters ; his father having been killed. Extract of a private letter received at Stoke:ley.
