VoMcript- LONDON, MONDAY, JUNE S. Three o'clock, p.m. The Paris Rivers of Friday last have arrived, of which the following are extracts : PARIS, MAT ?Y.—The King, after hearing mass in his private apartments, presided at the Council of M inisters. The Marquis of Casa, Yrujo, the Spanish Minis ter, gives to-morrow a grand dinner to all the Spa niards of distinction in Paris, for the purpose of celebrating the birth-day of his Sovereign. A letter from Rochefort, dated the 95th of May, states, that the King's corvette Sappho, Capt. La. sane d'Haraden, arrived in that port two days pre vious from Martinique. The crew had suffered much from the yellow fever in the Antilles, and the ship is pat under strict quarantine. At her departure from Martinique, thirty-eight days since, Rear Ad miral Bergeret was collecting all the force he could find, for the purpose of cruizing among the islands, and protecting French merchants' vessels against the pirates. The Court of Assize at Riom has sentenced to death a man, named Jean Courtesseyre, for the murder of a female, named Fourvel, by drowning her in a state of pregnancy in a pool. VIENNA, MAY 22.—(Extract of a private letter.) —" A courier from Bucharest brings news of the invasion of Moldavia by the Russian armies, It ap pears that the Ottoman troops are not strong in that quarter, and that the plan of their campaign is not to defend the two provinces, because they mean to retire precipitately upon the Danube, where all their fiirees are concentrated. In that position the tOrtune of the Ottoman Empire will be decided. The Turks in their retreat scatter around them devasta tion and death." Musten, Mar 21 —The Chamber of Deputies debated yesterday with closed doors upon the sub Jed of trade, and the result is an application calling upon the Government to secure the commerce of Bavaria against the duties imposed by fmeign states. They recommend also the formation of a patriotic society for the exclusion from the Bavarian territory the production of foreign countries, and all objects titbricated out of the kingdom. Letters received from Vera Cruz, dated March 10, mention the arrival at Acapulco of Lord Cochrane, with the Chilian force under his command. That this would be his lordship's next destination, ax soon as he had refitted his vessels, had long been expect ed ; and his object was, to capture the Spanish fri gates la Prutba and la l'eng,anza, which took refuge in Acapulco, as soon as the atliiirs of Peru became unfavourable to the royalist cause. It appears, however, that his lordship's design had not been carried into effect, owing to the two frigates being tinder the protection of the treaty made some time ago, between Iturbide, the Mexican chief, and O'Dottjo, the viceroy appointed by the King, sub sequent to the establishment of the new system, and consecpently under the protection of the forts.— This is a very singular feature in the affairs of South America, but it was not possible to form any idea of the issue. Arrived at Portsmouth the free trader Princess Char:sae, Blyth, from Ceylon; she lett Point de Valle the Ist of January. Sir Edward Paget (the governor) had not arrived, but was daily expected, as he had pasted the isle of France in the Glasgow frigate. She left the Cape on the 26th of Match; that place and the Mauritus was healthy. The first division of the 49th regiment had arrived at the Cape from England, but had been put in quaran tine in consequence of the measles hiving broken out among them. The :18th regiment had pro ceeded on for India. Lod Viscount Melville, Sir George Cockburn, and Sir George Clerk, from the Admiralty, accom panied by Sir T. B. Nlartin, Comptroller of the Navy, and Mr. Barrow, second Secretary of the Ad miralty, have made official visits to Portsmouth duck-yard, for the purpose of ascertaining what fur ther reductions can be made in the expences attend ing the carrying on the public service there. It is under. tood that the alterations contemplated in the dock-yard relate to the duties and salaries of the respective officers of all classes, and the clerks, and the superannuation of such as are infirm, or past active age. REVIEW ON 11411.1NSLOW HEATH.--On Saturday last the Ist and 2d regiments of Life Guards, the Royal Horse Guards, the 10th and 13th Hussars, and the 14th Light Dragoons, were reviewed on Hounslow flesth by their Royal Highnesses the Dukes of York and Gloucester, the Prince of Den -111 al k, and Prince listerhaty. His Majesty did not appear on the ground, king prevented, it is said, b jia sevtr•e and dangerous attack of the gout. THE LATE FETE. Die Meriting Chroni , le says, " We understand that lois Majesty notified to the Duke of Devonshire (the manager of the fete at the Opera-house fur the relief of the Irish), that a box must be set apart for the Royal Family, and that be, the Duke of Devonshire, must inform the Duke and Duchess of Glouces ter, and the Duke of Sussex, that there Was no place for them in it. This notification, which was calculated to wouod deeply the feelings of the Royal Personages in question, prevented them, of course, from being present at the fete. It would seem that the species of persecution which was put in practice against the late Queen, and the Duke of Sussex, was only the commencement of a system which is to he permanently adhered to. The Duke de Grammont was commanded last year invite the Duke of Sussex to his Ball. So then exclusion is now to be the order of the day.—The whole weight of Court influence is to be directed against all those in high life, who may be so unfortunate as to incur at any time the Royal dis pleasure. The dread of this sort of excommunication will no doubtbave its effect. To incur the Royal displeasure may be considered as something equivalent to losing caste. That a system of per secution of this description is not calculated to exhibit Royalty in the most favourable aspect, is obvious enough. But it is, in fact, is impolitic, viewed with reference to Royalty itself, as it is in.lefensible in other respects. It tends to weaken the in fluence of the great, as exhibiting them as held in a slate of degrading subjection and subserviency. It tends to shake the power of those by whom Royalty is supported. The old French Court used to banish noblemen to their country seats. Our Court cannot go so far as this, but it seems &Art-mined to go as far as it can. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF KING'S BENCH. SATURDAY, JUNE 1. IORD SORDF.► V. FLETCHER CLERE. This was an inquiry to assess damages on a bond for 12,0001. given by the defendant to plaintiff. In 181-1, a lising in his linalship'a gift falling vacant, he prevented it to the defendant, on condition that lie should resign it when required to do so, in favour of a brother of his lordship, then educating for the church, and to secure snob resignation, Mr. Fletcher gave the bond in question. Application had been made to Mr. Fletcher to resign the living, but he refused, and ou that refusal the pre sent proceedings were instituted. For the defendant it was contended the bond was an illegal instrument, and could not be sued upon, but that even if it could, the damage sustained by the plaintiff fell far short of the penalty of the bond. The living was not nominally, after deducting out-goings, worth noire than 5501. The gentleman in whose favour the defendant was to resign was 24 yearn of age, and on the testimony of Mr. Morgan, of the Equitable, he could not be taken to have more than 14 years interest in it, or 7,7001. from which the defendant was entitled to deduct 1,4001. expended by him in the erection of a parsonage-house, ■nd the Solieitor-General, the defendant's counsel, farther contended, that a further reduction ought to take place in that sum, as the real value of the living, owing to the depressed state of agriculture, fell far below 5501. The Chief Justice recommended to the Jury to take all the circumstances into their deliberateiconsideration. They were not bound to give the full penalty of the bond, but would give such damages as they considered would meet the justice of the case. An to the question of legality or illegality as respected the bond, they had nothing to do with .Lat question on the present occasion. The Jur v after a short deliberation, found a verdict for the plaimilf—datnages 10,0001. The amount of the sum arising from the Ball at the Opera-House, on Thursday last, for the benefit of the distressed Irish peasantry, is something more than six thousand pounds. The company paid half a crown each for refreshments, and the dresses of the Opera dancers were paid for by the committee, at their own individual expence. LORD KINIALE.—On Friday last died, at his lodgings on the North Grand Parade, Cork, to which he had gone for medical assistance, the Right Hon. John De Courcy, Lord Kinsale, Baron Courcy, and Baron of Ringrone, Premier Baron of Ireland.— He is succeeded in his titles and estates by his eldest son, the Hon. and Rev. De Courcy, now Lord Kinsale, and the '27th Lord. His Lordship's an cester was presented in 1762, to his late Majesty, and had the honour of asserting the ancient privi lege of his family of wearing his hat in his Nlajes ty's presence. The late Lord also enjoyed the same privilege. FooT RACE.—On Thursday list, at Rye, in Sussex, a foot race wrs run hetwe. n Edward Rrviter, the Kentish pedestrian, and James BOtteridge, the lierkshire r 1111 l who was matched to tun ten miles over a one mile piece of ground, for a purse of ten guineas.
