To what, he asked, was be to attri bute the circumstance of " Crosses lie Down" being .played' the moment the health of the ChreSteketore had been drank. if not to that management behind the curtain which be was surprised to find in such pernicious activity, but which be would make it his business to develop and destroy. Ile said he had taken the office of Chief Magistrate of the City of Dublin under different circumstances, and perhaps with different feelings, from many of his predecessors. lie would be happj to receive the advice of any of leis friends, but he must always claim the right of exercising his own judgment upon every act which • was to be performed by himself, and for which he' would hold himself wholly responsible; hut, heftiest repeat, he never could permit himself to be dictated to by any man at the head of his own table. The taste and disposition must be very extraordinary in. . deed, which could select such an accompaniment as "Crappies lie Dorris" for such speeches as those of • the Lord Lieutenant and his Secretary--speeches abounding with sentiments so conciliatory, so grab peg to the People of this country, so flattering to their best hopes—speeches, such as bad never, per. baps, before been heard from persons ia.their station. . would take special care, however, that no such ,trick should ever be played upon him again. These, said his Lordship, are the reasons. by which, al-1 lboegh the toast was upon my list, I was prevented from giving it; and certainly . 1 should not, in any teem, have proposed it without such accompanying observations as would hale divested it of all party , character, end hive rendered it inrspable of giving • offence to any indivirlusi in this room, or, indeed, to any portion of my Fellow-coontrymeo. I trust, continued the Lord Mayor, that it is not necessary for me, at this time, to make any declaration of . my principles. Every man who knows me, knows that I am firmly snatched to the King, the Constitution, the Government, and Laws of this country, and ' that I yield to no one in devotion to the Protestant • Religion ; hut I certainly am not among those per. sons who think that that Iloly Religion, which I • profess and venerate, is best supported by wounding, ' oppressing, or insulting my Catholic Countrymen.— • I have been chosen to fill a high and honourable office, and it shall be my unceasing study to dis. charge its duties efficiently. To fulfil them honestly, is, at all events, in my power ; and I am resolved that every act of mina shall be regulated by the strict. est impartiality. This explanation was deemed perfectly satisfacto. ry, and was accordingly received with much appro bation. • Alderman ARcilta disclaimed all intention of dic tating to the Lord Mayor, or of offending any per ' son, and sought to justify his demand of the toast upon the ground of precedent, and the suggestion of persons who sat near him. The LORD MAYOR observed, that, as he was wil ling to believe the conduct of which lie had rum . plained was but the result of mistaken seal, he wished to bury it in oblivion, and would therefore propose t oa st, which he trusted would restore perfect cor. diality and good humour.

The following Is the Bulletin of the Qvnit's health issued this morning : _ _ " Kew Palace, Oef.7. " The Quern has had anoiher good night. and her MAJPATI appears this warning to he refreshed by her steep. (Signed) " F. MILM A N. " H. HALFORD." Her MAJESTY did not sleep so well on Monday night as she has done latterly, and in consequence Sir lonmscis MILMAN did not retire Irons the anti clamber till nearly three in the mousing, at which time her MAJESTY was mock more at ease. :----- : 2,.-..••.illiiffil•M Towards noon, all the symptoms of her complaint spill came on, as they do almost invariably et the same time every day; but nevertheless her MAitivr was still able so bear the removal into her boudoir, about noon, and at five o'clock to partake slightly of he► usual repast. At two o'clock, Sir HENRY NALTORD returned from attendance on the Princess Smits, at Windsor Castle, and found his colleague, Sir FRANCIS MIlr• MAN, very much indisposed; so much ea, that be was unable to join the dinner•party at the table of their Royal Highnesses the Nutcases. The REGENT did not reach the Palace till sit in doe evening ; nor did he remain 'along as usual, bat, haring made a hasty visit io her MAJESTY, and con versed a few minutes with Sir HENRY HALSOR% Me Royal Ifighoess returned to Carlton• Rouse. One of the statements respecting her MAJESTY, assures MI that site seldom sees the PRINCESSES for more than a few minutes in the day, as she is soon &masted by conversation, and that for sirs were she had not admitted the PRINCE REGENT to her prs. settee, until Wednesday or Thursday last, end then only for a few minutes. She is free from pain oldie' she leans forward, supporting her head by her afire on the table. It is added, that "having no presenti ment of danger, she has not thought it necessary to desire prayers to be put op for her recovery in the Churches, nor is it believed that she has made a will." It is certainly remarkable enoigh, that amongst all the attendants of whom we are informed ad perpetually surrounding the Royal Conch, there does not appear one Clergyman, except when the Bishop of CANTRRBURY pays his periodical visits IS a Member of her Majesty's Council. Halifax Papers to the 10th, New York to the 6th, Boston' to the 3d ult., end New Orleans to the Bth of August, retched us this morning.

The Sub:Prefect of Mentlocon, wishing to pay It. to have the portrait of this old woman, employed a female artist to paint it, who, in order to obtain a proper light, placed her in her old arm chair pear the door of her cottage. It is probable that, sitting in a (fraught of air affected her, for on the second day she took a fever, and eight days after, the 17th Septem• her, died in the 112th year of her age. She has left a numerous family. One of her daughters is 87. The inhabitants of the commune of II otos (Lower Pyrenees) having resisted the Injunction of their mayor, not to represent an obscene farce, the Pre ,fect,has prohibited them from representing, for three /ears, pastorals. a favourite amusement of that pert of the country, but, Which is often abused. The order of the Jesuits has not, as was stated, ob tained the restoration of the property of the College of St. Michael, in the canton of Fr iburg, in Switzer land. The Grand Connell h 45 only given them the use and management of it. The number of the Je suits, friars included, is thirty. The regular Canons of 3t. John de Lefton, at Rome, have become bankrupts for more than 500,000 scudi, and the creditors are put into possession of the estates of the order, among which is the church of the San Maria della Pare. The Marquis de la Tour Dapin, French Arnhem. clot to the Court of Brussels, left that city on the 29th ult. to go to the Coupe's at Ai:Lela-Cha pelle. , Yesterday I man, in a state of drunkenness, was arrested on the boulevard of the Temple, roaring opt the praises of Bonaparte. When interrogated before the Prefect of the Police, he was recognized to be a farmer at Remainville, who has bad four sons taken from him by the Conscription. It is communicated from Ait•la-Chspelle that the most important part of the business of the Congress is already terminated. This 44 most important ob• jest of the Meeting," which has been accons2lished with so little difficulty, is. the withdrawing of the Army of Occupation. We have been welt prepared for this event, therefore experience no great surprise at this confirmation of the statements which led us I. expect the success of the French Minister's applies. lions. But we hesitate to believe that this is the chief object of the Meeting of the Sovereigns, or that the most important part of their business has already been gone through. They have not assembled Merely for the purpose of ratifying the negociations for the removal of the troops from France, or for passing compliments, and sitting a few beets in coon. di at Aix-la.Chapelle. The evacuation of the French territory will, however, be made the principal, be cause the most honourable part of the Congress pro ceedings, and ample use will doubtless be made of this popular act, to divert public attention from the other objects of this politic assembly. We shall soon see whether the crowds of diplomatists and " 6 Kings of the earth," who are congregated toge ther, have met for the sole purpose of sending a Mes senger to Paris with the intelligence that they mean to leave France to the guidance of its own Govern. ment. In the mean time we will proceed with the particulars of this decision, as comu nicated in the let• ter of a Private Correspondent. Passing over the previoos conferences in the Meeting, of which per haps the Reporter was Rot.so well infOrmed, or they may have all been on the same subject, he states, that at noon on the td lest. and et the end of the fifth conference, the evacuation of France by the Al. lied troops was weed upon. Count CARAMAN, the Ambassador of France at Vienna, was the bearer of this important and pleasing intelligence to his Sot,. reign. "?be Act oe Convention for the evacuation of France (says the Aix-la-Chapelle writer) is not yet signed, but the following statement may be relied upon :- .The Allied Troops ere to leave France in the course of the present month, or early in the beginning of the next, at such intervals and by such routes as may be afterwards determined to be most convenient for all parties. The Allied Powers are perfectly satisfied with the present state of France, and the securities which she offers in her in ternal condition for the preservation of the general tranquillity. They are likewise satisfied with the . proposed guarantees for the payment of the contribu tions. These contributions are all to be discharged in the course of nine months from the signature of the Treaty. The first instalment is to be twenty-five per cent. upon the whole sum ; and the remainder is to be paid by equal instalments at the end of every two months. The first paymint of 25 per cent. will take place on the 26th of December of the present year. The house of BARING and Co., supported by ;heir friends of the other bankin6•boeses of Europe, is the security. Mr. BARING will yesterday called to a conference, and presented satisfattery guarantees. The distribolion of the sums to be contributed I have not yet been able minutely to ascertain, but the fol lowing are the portions allotted to the greater Powers:— Russia will receive 48 millions &triton. England 48 ditto Austria, abbot 40 • ditto Provide. abort 40 ditto The Netherlands ditto . ~~ Bavaria 10 ditto The remainder will be divided among the other States, in proportion to their magnitude, their sacrifices, or ezertions in the common cause. The details only of the great measure now remain to be filed ; the Duke of Ricuntu expects to be able to return to Paris by the 16th instant. The Emperor of RU4SIA and King of Pew's& will proceed in• the course of a fortnight from Aiz.la•Chapelie, to review their troops at Msubeuge and Sedan. The former has given up his intention of visiting Paris till his army is on its way out of Frante. The Emperor of Atrerati returns about the same time (that is, the 15th inst.) to Vienna ; so that this assembly of Mo narchs, this representative Majesty of Europe, will have terminated in 15 days a business which has en. plied speculation and excited antiety for three years." The Ministers, it is added, will remain for sometime longer, to settle some other matters (query) of less importance: but as they are resolved not to open a door for general discession, or to receive, like an Amphietionic Council, the grievances of particular States (this we can believe), they have given, it is said, positive information to Spain, that they do not mean to entertain the question of the dispute be tween her and her colonies. It is said, however, that CZTALI,OI ) the Spaaish Minister at Vienna, is r- ~ ~ 141...67 0 /0.9 , K 4 rr , THE STATESAL4N. 1• • . • di.

This is a pacific symptom. It would also seem to indicate that the Government has not much reliance to place in the National Guard, thoLgh Monomial is their Commander. It is truly laugh. able to perceive the compliment paid to this Body is the following words :—" The National Guard, which, under the command of our reel beloved bro. (her, MoNstsan, has rendered brilliant LI vices to France, will find in our support, and in his kind. tress, equal motives for emulation."—They are, therefore, ordered back to their municipal instils. lions. They are to have no higher officer than a Commandant of Commune, or ,Canton ; but Mos. emu, who was appointed their Colonei•Geoe. ral, soon after the King's return, is still to enjoy cams military honours. Probably, the new organization is intended to give some relief to the French Treasury, as well as to indisilloals.— The preamble to this Ordoenauce is remarkable for noticing laws, passedoome during the Revolution and some during the Uvorpation—in 1790, 1791, and 1805, which the King' acknowledges to be still in force, except as far as their enactments may be con. trary to the Charter, and to the Institutions which have. followsal it. Another Ordonnance postpones to the 26th inst. the period for convoking the glee. tore, College of the Deportment of Finisterre, in con. sequence of eemmercial affairs requiring the absence of many of the Electors. The owe of things *ill the Court of Rome doe. not seem to be definitively ; and it is asserted, that long'confereo CPS Ire continued between Count PORTALS' and the Caiditol GONIALVI. On the 20th ult. the POPE was to have canonized a new Spanish Saint. An agreement is stated to have been made with the Court of Brazil, for the establishment of a Swiss colony in that country. It is now ssserted, in the accounts from Madrid, that the disgrace of the Ez•Ministers did not alive from Court intrigue, but is to be attributed solely to the displeasure of the King, whose political opinions were opposed by them in the Council *hick preceded, by a few hours, the notification of their dismissal. This version of the story is not very pro. bable, as it respects the Minieters; bey even it true, it does not represent the K►ing's c►ataeter, either for wisdom or generosity, in a, very ilattet,ll' light. A wise King would pot be derplused with faithful servants for expressing their opinions be• neatly sod freely ; and a generous one, even to re• moving them from his Councils, would not hat them from his capital in the manner that the vie• dictive minions of this prieit-ridden tyrant have pone sued poor GARAY and his Colleagues. The plot., we are informed by better authority l was brought aboatby the higher Clergy, supported by the Inquisition, and the Bishops of SANTtAGO, JAZZ, * lnd aoyiA, secret enemies, who ere directed by Csitee OsToLAZA, supposed to be acting according to the views of the infant Dox CARLos. A number of Officers in the Army and Navy have been . wetted and conveyed to the dungeons of the Inquisition, accused of being Free-masons, and implicated )n conspiracies. With ell the support which he receive, from the Holy Tribunal, it appears that FaRVIZAaD is in a precarious situation. <,.._. . Letters from Russia state, hst Count ROMANZOVIN Chancellor of the Empire, hes again thereHy tnq solved to send the Rurirk, Lieutenant !Contra* ship, upon another voyage of discovery. A isor days since we presented our Readers with a very in' teresting account of the result of Lieutenant KO' "BUE'S former voYaste. The possibility of dia. covering a Northern Passage, if such be the object of the projected expedition, will, we expect, be decided by the English expedition long before the Rurict can be In a state to undertake her task of exploring the icy regions. The Jorneics Papers repeat the story,, whit!' big been already discredited here, of a number of British subjects having been murdered by the Spaniards , after capturing the vessel in which our countrymenhad sailed from Grenada.
