Vessels had prhvionsly been sent from Rio de Janeiro to bring off he troops from thence, but they were disembarked as scion as the above determioution was adopted, and the vessels sent back.

FOREIGN INTELLIGANCE. S. • PARIS PAPERS. TAMS, OCTOBER 1. Yesterday his Majesty transacted business with the Minister at War. The King of England passed through the gate de Roubaix, on his departure from Lille, the day fref.re yesterday, and proceeded by the route of Tntorniy.

As anon as the above proclamation was posted, the troops were called out underarms to enforce re spect towards authority, and to prevent the disturb ance of the public tranquillity. As evening closed, numerous groups were 'seen, whose aspect and attire were quite sufficient to excite alarm in the minds of peaceable and respectable people.— A large portrait of Riego was now displayed, crowned with palm branches, and borne by men with laurel in their hats, and accompanied by crowd with lighted torches. A battalion of the national militia drew up iii battle array in front of the Club Fontana, and a detachment of cavalry was posted on the Place of the Constitution ; the remainder of the garrison was under semi in the barracks, ready to march at the first signal. Happily, however, all passed off less seriously than could hare been expected. Some individuals who assaulted the soldiers were wounded by blows from the butt-ends of their muskets. On their way to the Municipality, where they wished to de posit the portrait, some wretches cried out inces santly, "Riegofur ever !—I tenth to his enemies!" The Political Chief himself wrested the portrait of Riego from them, and threw it into the sewer. The Club Fontana is closed.

Two verdicts have lately been given by Juries which may serve to give a sufficient ides how far this institution is applicable to our customs, and to the state of our civiliz ition. One of thew was at the instance of the Ambassador of his Britannic: Ma jesty, and the second at the instance of Don Sebas tian Minano. In both cases it was decided there was no grounds for proceeding to trial (no haber &gas a la formacion de eousa, or the bill was *brown out). Our renders will be glad to know the grounds of the two actions, and they may form their own opi nion of the justice of declaration of the Jury in both Casts. The English Ambassaior denounced an article in the kegalutor. • French paper printed at Ma drid, conceived in the following terms :—" It. is affirmed that George IV. will merry again within six months. This news can excite no suspicioni since there are persons to whom all crimes are per mitted, and who, though the object of general exe cration, nevertheless enjoy all the favours of for. tune, unless indeed their remorse torments them every hour and every minute, and if this permits them to enjoy the fruits of their misdeeds." The Ambasaadcr cosisidcred this article as an insult to his Sovereign the King of Great Britain. The Jury has declared unanimously that it is not. Don Sebastian Minim°, denounced about the same lime a pamphlet, entitled " The Life, Virtue:, and Miracles of the poor Vagabond, otherwise the author of Las Semblan:as, or Mr. Abbe Minano." Many well-informtd and sensible persons thought it was impossible to pour forth more above on an in dividual than is ',rimed in the denounced pamphlet; that it attacked in the most horrible manner the private life of the complainant, against whom the blackest and abominable calumnies were uttered. The Jury, however, were not of this opinion, and cons' quently declared there was no ground for action. When the law speaks, good citizens most conform to its decision ; but this duty, which is one of the first safeguards of so•inl order, does not deprive them of the right of making temperate and respect ful observations on the inconveniencies which may result from such a system of judgments. The Jury, certainly, owe to no one an account of their conduct ; they decide accordiug to their conviction ; and this we know is produced on every man in different ways and by different motives ; but if the simultaneous conviction of twelve men. or of seven among them is always sufficient to acquit a person accused, it certainly is not sufficient to change the nature of a thing, and to make that ce ase to be an insult which casts a stain over the reputation of an individual. The laws of all coun tries and general opinion have determined, irrevo cably, the nature of what is called insult (injsria),• and it would be in vain for an hundred tribunals to declare that not to be an insult which all the world knows to be one; their decision, though it claims respect and reverence, cannot change the opinion formed of this kind of offence, on which all per sons will continue to believe what they ought. If it were possible that the tribunals should fre quently pass sentence opposed to the public opi nion, there is no doubt that one of those bonds would he broken which most strongly bind men in society. which is confidence in the protection of the laws; for so far es the salutary habit of obeying and respecting the decision of the tribunals has brew contracted, so far it is presumed that they are dictated by the principles of eternal and invariable justice, consigited in those rules of public conduct I. to which we give the name of laws. These rules • must be such, that their propriety and justice may be evident to the majority, obese opinion cannot :Thip Nil to be in harmony with what they (the laws) , estoblisll; whence it follows. that us soon as they are gol to, ril her there is a defect in the law, or error •is the minds of the people.

Ills Britannic Majesty, in one of the court car riages drawn by six horses, went yesterday to the Palace of Lacken at half-past four o'clock. Lord Clancirty followed in another carriage.

His MAJESTY immediately proceeded to the house of Lord CLANCARTY, situate in the Park, where the Duke of WELLINGTON, the Marquises of LONDONDERRY Glld CONYNGHAN, and Sir 13.

A north-west wind has blowN with such violence from the 27th September to the 3d of October, as to deter passengers from attempting to CND. e Channel from Calais to Dover. More thou three hundred persons were collected in Calaid on the ed inst. waiting for a passage. To this circumstance may be attributed the delay of our pri. trate letters from Brussels communicating the above intelligence. Our correspondent observes, that his MAJESTY'S style of travelling. with the exception of an escort, is Nacre in the fashion of an English Noble. man than in the splendour ofa British Monarch. The king of FRANCE had ordered relays of cavalry to escort him through that country, but his MA JESTY declined that mark of respect. IN MA.

The public meeting fixed for this day in the Borough of Southwark, to consider the propriety of a subscription to indemnify Sir ROBERT Wit.. SON for the pecuniary loss sustained by his dis missal from the service, has excited great expecta tion. It will be seen in an article in another part of our Paper, that a like meeting, for the same pur pose, will be speedily held in the City of London. It is only in deference to the Borough, as the body immediately represented in Parliament by Sir Roesler WILSON, that the City of London has not taken the lead on Ibis occasion. The City of Westminster will not be far behind in following the example, and the voice of the metropolis, thus ex pressed, we are confident will be loudly re•cchoed from every part of the country. Letters and Papers from Canada to the 2d of September have arrived. We are happy to learn from them that the harvest, which began on the 10th of August, was concluded before the end of that month, all the wheat having been well housed. The corn is said to be of the finest quality, and very abundant. The reports on the Stock Exchange anticipate an increase of between 300,0001. and 400,0001. in the produce of the public revenue for the quarter end ing on the loth instant, as compared with the cor responding quarter in last •ear.
