Similar outrages are said to have been eominitted at Quirpon.

It is to the want of this they attribute, in the words of their fourth resolution, " the un cultivated state of the island, the depression of its trade, the instability of property, and the want of institutions for the Instruction of youth."

We have received the Paris Papers of Thurs day last. Among our extracts from them will be found a copy of • letter from the Grand \lmre to Count NESSELIODE, complaining of the conduct of Baron SraocoNovF, in refusing to receive the answer of the Porte to his official note of the 6th July. This letter confirms the accounts already published, of the circumstances under which the Baron took his departure for Odessa, and also diss closes some new facts of importance. It appears that the Ministers of the other Powers accredited to the Ottoman Porte, represented that the depar ture of the Ambassador ought not by any means to be considered a proof of hostile intentions on the part of Russia towards the Porte, and that it was prubsble another would be sent to fill his place. The Paris Papers of Friday arrived at a late hour last night. They contain an account of the conditions said to have been demanded by Russia after the departure of Baron STROGONOFF.—The Constitationnel states, that Sir ROBERT WILSON has written a letter to the Duke of You, requesting an inquiry into his conduct before a competent tri bunal.—The following are extracts :- 1111A11111FORT, SEPTUM/116.

The refusal of General V.ilanzat to accept the office of Minister of IVor hos been acceded to by his Majesty. It stems that the Liberals, in concert with the Ministers, have succeeded in having the Chief of the Staff of the army nomi nated. The sew Political Chief, M. Saint Marlin, has declared, it is said, that he would lose his name if be (lid not shot up the Fontana, or at least reduce the orators to silence. It is certain that he is going to take rigorous measures, that no foreigner or Spaniard may reside is the capital without good securities, without declaring his motives, and without having as express permission from him. News is this moment spread. after the arrival of an ex press, that the troops in Cataintria, the Piedasontese refu gees, arid some French, followed by a great number of peasants, have marched to deliver Riego.

We are informed that the General has written to his Royal Ifighiren Commander.iu-Cheri to desire an inquiry into his conduct before a competent Tribunal. According to the Military Legislation of Great Britain, and to precedent; which are respected there, compli satire with iliis just desire cannot be refused. There is every reason to her that the priociples of justice appealed 1 0 b y c I Wilson will triumph over the private genii _ mews to which they appear to have been sacrificed, and that this worthy citizen, whose reput•ti.in iu England is founded un the most tillilltra services, will see a measure revoked of which there are very few rumples in the history of the English Government.—(Consfilutionnel, Ssplesabet 21) Dutch Pape,* to the 20111 instant, received last night, contain the following account of the mot- 1,... _ _LAC_ 'talky castled by eitialera tairidit in the Island of Java.

By accounts from Batavia of 19th May we learn that the rho/era rawbrs has b►oken out in the island of Java, vas. at Batavia, Semarang, and Ja pan. S I functionaries have left Sumaraug for fear of the contagion, bat the Governor has ex pressed his displeasure at this conduct, and dismiss ed some of them. Ou the 30th April five persons died of this complaint ; the number of deaths in creased daily, so that on the 9th May the number of deaths was 158. Among the deaths were 58 Europeans. At Samarang the number of deaths, from the 22d April to 3d May, was 1,255, includ ing 101 European.. On the 19 , 11 May the violence of the contagion diminished in the above places, but it continued to rage in Joanna, Kinds!, pu ma, and Kuliwoego. It has likewise, though in a far less degree, at Tamara, Tags!. Palkaloitgan, Sourakarta, and Rembang. The magistrates die trihuted quantities of medicine among the islanders, by which many were saved. The high country was not infected up to the middle of May, and the con tagion was chiefly confined to places where the free pas►age of the ai► was impeded by woods or moun tains. The weather was dry and lint. The matron height of the thermometer at Batavia was 92e, and at &smarting 980 to 100 0 . The greater part of the sick consisted of persons who had bard labour to perform in the heat of the sun, or had led an in temperate lifr. On the 9th of May the new expedition against Palembang railed under General De Kok, who is on board the Vow der Werf frigate. The frigate is accompanied by several armed colonial vessels, and fifteen hired transports. Two of the letter were carried by the current on to the strand near the Thousand Islands, ■od it is feared will he lost ; the men all escaped, and were distributed among the other vessels. The Governor reviewed the troops before they sailed, and expressed his satisfaction at the good condition of the expedition and the spirit of the men. The Palembang Princes and great men who have been at Tjargor ever since 1818, accompany the expedition at their urgent request. The Sultan has obtained the promise that in case of the conquest of Palembang, he shall be re placed on the throne of his ancestors, on certain conditions, to prevent the repetition of the causes of dissatisfaction which he gave to the Netherlands Government in 1817 and 1818. His Majesty's frigate Dageraad, arrived at Ba tavia the 4th May. We have received Madrid Papers to the 10th in. stew. The KING has expressed his readiness to return to that capital ■s soon as his health will per mit, but there appears no necessity for his prrseuce. as it enjoyed a state of perfect tranquillity.
