Alpert if appearances on Dissection of the body sf Napoleon Biloptaparte. On a superficial view the body appeared very fat, which state was confirmed by the first incision down its centre, where the fat was upwards of one inch ands half over the abdomen. On cutting through the cartilages of the ribs, and exposing the cavity of the thorax, a ttitting adlicaion of the left pleura was found to the pleura costalis. About three ounces of reddish fluid were con tained in the left cavity, and nearly eight ounces in the right.-- The lungs were quite sound. The per..erdium was natural, and contained about an ounce of fluid. The heart was of the natural size, but thickly covered with fat. The auricles and ventricles exhibited nothing extraordinary, except that the muscular parts appeared rather paler than natural. Upon opening the abdomen the omentum was found remarkably fat, and on exposing the stomach, that viacus was found the seat of extensive disease. Strong adhesions connected the whole superior surface, particularly about the pyloric extremity to:the concave surface of the left lobe of the liver ; and on separating these, an ulcer, which penetrated the coats of the stomach, was discovered one inch from the pylorus, sufficient to allow the pas sage of the little finger. The internal surface of the stomach, to nearly its whole extent, was a mass of cancerous disease or schirrous portions advancing to cancer; this was particularly noticed near the pylorus. The cardic extremity for a small space near the termination of the esophagus, was the only part appear ing in a healthy stale. The stomach was found nearly filled with a large quantity of fluid resembling aiffee grounds. The convex surface of the left lobe of the liver adhered to the diaphragm. With the exception of the adhesions occasioned by the disease in the stomach, no one healthy appearance presented itself in the liver. The remainder of the abdominal viscera were in a healty state. A slight peculiarity in the tormation of the left kidney was ob.cived. (Signed) THOMAS SHORTT, M. D. and Principal Medical Officer. ARCH. ARNOTf, M. 1). Sur. gem 20th Regiment.

Eon Don : SUNDAY, JULY 7. The " Constitutional Association " has been brought forward in two different shapes—first by Mr. Hobhouse, on presenting a petition from Mr. Benbow, and secondly by Mr. S. Whitbread, on a motion for an address to his Majesty, praying him to direct the Attorncy•Gcneral to enter a null pro :qui in each instance of indictment preferred by the gang. The infamy of their proceedings continues to develope itself every day, and we are convinced that every honest man who is one step above an idiot, will instantly insist upon the erasure of his name from a list of subscribers to un Association, the theory of which might have induced him to be long to it, but of whose practice too much cannot be said in reprobation. The Let we believe to be, that a man equally bankrupt in purse and character con spired with an equal in infamy to found the Society, and by specious representations seduced ninny really honest men to become members—fiir having become the dupes of design they may be pitied—by with drawing their names, instantly they may avoid the eternal obloquy that must otherwise attach to them. —We rarely praise the Members of Government fur the strongest possible reason, that they rarely merit it,,but we must not withhold our high approbation of the conduct of the Attorney-General, who de clared he would inquire into these cases, and where hardship appeared he would direct a discharge, on bail being given for their appearance only. The following (Geo. 111. 60. cap. 6, sec. 16.) is the clause upon which bail for good behaviour has been demanded:— '• Any of his Majesty's courts of record at 'Westminster or Dublin, or of great session in Wales, or any judge thereof. or any coutt of general or quarter session, or any justice before wlnnii any person charged with having printed or published A blas phemous, seditious, or malicious libel, shall be brought for the purpose of giving bail on such charge, may take it part of the conditi.m of the recognizances, that the person charged shall be of good behaviour during the continuance of the recognizance." It will be remembered that this was one of the Six Gagging Acts passed under the patronage of Lord Castlereagh, in December, 1819. A fine woodcock was shut at Arrowroot, about eleven miles from Exeter, on Thursday, and pur chased by Mr. Congdon, of the hotel, who furwarde.l it to London. ..HAM;..., JULY tl.

At the moment several persons just liberated came to return thanks to the Queen, when Sir F. Bacon approached her Majesty, and said, " your Majesty is pleased to ex tend your royal mercy to some and not to others."— The Queen answered, she had given orders to re lease all prisoners without exception • " There are still, however, (said Sir F.:Bacon) four prisoners who have been closely confined from the beginning of Mary's reitrn to this day."—" Who are they ?" replied Elizabeth : give me their names. and they • shall be set at liberty." " Madame, added Bacon, " The first is Matthew, the second Mark, the third Luke, and the fourth John, and your people im patiently expect your Majesty will give them free dom." Tile Queen smiling, said, " I will rdease them, with the blessing of God, and I hope to con verse with them, and receive instructions from their own mouths with regard to all I ought to do in their favour." The coronation has anciently be lunged to the Archbishop of Canterbury, it being formerly resolved, that wheresoever the Court was the• King and Queen were, the domestic parishioners of the Archbishop of Canterbury. It al.o belonged to him in former times to take to himself the °Ter ings made at the holy altar by the King and Queen. The Court of Assize of Paris finished on Monday the trial respecting the sinking of a vessel called La Louise. The two officers, Jugghe and Leterrier, and the seaman, Yvelin, were acquitted. The Sieurs Fluudin and Dieudonne have been condemn ed, fir a simple fraud, each to five years imprison ment, a title of .500 francs, five years interdiction - from civil rights, to restore to the prosecutors the amount of the premiums on their insurance, stipu lated in the policy ; reserving, besides, to the pro. secutors all rights to actions for the recovery ui the surplus of these claims.
