LONDON, THURSDAY, JUNE 10, 1824. IVltile anticipation has been busy in its speculations on the results to arise from the defeat of the great financial measure brought forward by the Count de Villele, and the , fall of that Minister was confidently proclaimed in the xo/ons on the Bourse, and through the cif,/;:s of Paris, I his triumph in the Royal Closet is announced in Tuts- • day'r. Limit., and the Minister for Foreign Affairs, the versvile Chateaubriand, has Fccn sacrificed to his influence: the latter is no longer a member of the French Ministry. I A Royal Ordinance, dated on Tuesday, without preamble or assigned cause of any sort, flings Chetcaubriand down free his short-lived elevation, and corn nits the porffiville of Foreign Affairs to his triumphal opponent, the Finance Minis:es, till a more suitable successor is named. The im metFate consequences of this decisive policy:have ixen a restoration of public confidence, and a rise in the French funds. Though Monday was a close holiday, and the I Hourse in consequence was shut, considerable business, I our private letters inform us, was done in the Rentes at the different Cellist where such transactions are conducted, I as soon as the retirement of the Foreign Minister was I known, and numerous transfers were made at pries above 104 fr., though on the Saturday before the Stock ilsebange closed at 103 fr. 50 c. The retirement of Chatenuhriand is considered as decisive of the pacific policy of the French Cabinet. The King and his family had given their sup port to the Minister's financial measure of' reductien, which Chateaubriand did not advocate front the tribute., and the I rejection cf which he is supposed to have contributed to, by private intrigue. All Villele's influence or consequi see j was directed to his removal. His exile front the French (h - , binet, just at this moment, must he considered ter an event of unquestionable importance. Chateaubriand's accession mil: place at the period of the Congress of Verona; and his I inflated oratory from the tribune was exerted to urge the' war with Spain, to fulfil the views of the Royal Co,tfede rates assembled at that Congress, and derr.-ny with a throng of bayonets every thing like liberty within the Py renees. it is yet a subject of doubt whether that un happy war, so ruinous in its cftets to Si.ain, and productive of so little benefit to Freacc, would have taken place if M. de Viliele's influence had then been supreme. He had long substituted the slower anti more secret, but not 1: as dangerons weapons of corruption anti intrigue. But Chateaubtiand, aml the cabal of the Pavil ion paean," urged on the war ; and Louis op.ncd the Session of 15‘.13 with the annur elation of one hundred thousand Frenchmen being prepared to pass the Pyrenees and overturn the Constitution. What sulisequent charges may follow the dismission of the Foreign Minister we cannot yet anticipate. The indemnity intended for the sat-riving emigrants, which WAS to be provided front the saving on the interest of the debt, must now be abandoned, or found from same other source. Bat the recent change is satis factory, because the po:icy of the present Minister is de cidedly Villvle's great engines arc diplomacy and intrigue : we tray look in consequence for a more liberal conduct towards the wretched Spaniards e. ho were ruined by their attachment to freedom ; and no attempt will be made on South America that can draw down a quarrel with Great Britain. The honourable and philanthropic Member for Galway has been indefatigable in his legislative efforts this Session. A Bill, framed by him, is now before us, as amended by the Committee, to regulate houses for the slaughtering of horses. Ilavieg unfortunately failed in his attempts to' suppress bull and badger-baiting, and regulate the classic sports of the ll'estminster pit, early in the Session, Mr. Martin was still resolved that the recess should not com mence without his doing something as a Legislator; and the present Bill was aerordingly introduced. The pre- ; amble recites the 26th of his late Majesty ; by which Act it was, among other things, enacted, that no persons should keep any house or ether place, for the purpose of slaugh tering or killing any horse or other cattle, not killed for butchers' meat, without first taking out a licence for that i purpose. The present Bill then proceeds to state, that persons so licensed often withhold all food from cattle purchased by them for the purpose of slaughtering, or withhold such food for an unreasonable length of time, whereby the unhappy animals so treated are put to great pain and torture: to remedy which, Mr. Mar- tin's Bill enacts, that the occupiers of such slaughtering houses shall supply every horse and other cattle with a sufficient quantity of suitable food, while such horse or cattle shall be in his possession ; and make an entry in a book, to be kept for that purpose, of the quantity and quality of the food supplied by him, in every day, to every horse or cattle in his possession, and shall verify such entry by oath, to be made by hint or sotne person on his behalf, on the first Monday of every month, before a Magistrate of the district in which lie may reside, which oath every such Magistrate is required to administer. The next clause enacts, that every such book shall be open for the inspector, appointed under the former Act, to see, and also for the inspection of every Magistrate of the dis trict in which such book shall be kept, or any per sons authorised by him. A subsequent clause orders, that no person shall carry any lividg horse on any wag gon, cart, dray, or truck, or drag any horse having a disabled limb, by attaching him to any such vehicle. A penalty of 31. is imposed on any persons offending against this Act, on being convicted before a Magistrate, to he raised, if necessary, by distress and sale of his goods; or in default of payment, the offender is to be imprisoned and kept to "hard labour for any period not exceeding three months. Great cruelties, we are convinced, are every day perpetrated on helpless animals, such as this Bill seeks to protect, and Mr. Martin's motives are, we are sure, most humane and praiseworthy : but his legislation descends too low ; subjects of this sort are scam worthy of separate. legislative enactments; it rendcrsActs of Parliament almost ridiculous. It may be necessary to bear a wounded or a dis abled horse in a cart, not from any motives of inhumanity, but from a far different feeling; and why should the owner or individual doing so, be subject to an ill-judged penalty under this Act? Again, soy fellow purchasing wretched animals of this sort, to slaughter, may deprive them'of all food, or stint them as he pleases, and yet make any entries he likes, and afterwards support these entries by his iudi vidual oath, with little fear of contradiction. Those who maintain such a traffic, are. not likely to possess very scrupulous consciences. This Bill appears to us to be such an Act as ought not to be passed. The subject and the . clauses arc equally ill-judged and inefficient. If precedents of this sort are afforded for legislation, we shall have Acts of Parliament multiplied on the meanest and minutest oc casions of everyday life. Tuesday afternoon the Duchess of Gloucester, the I Princess Augusta, the Duchess of Kent, the Duchess of Clarence, the Princess Feodor, and the Prince of Leiningen, honoured the Duke and Duchess of Northumberland with j a visit, who received their Royal Highnesses, and con ducted them over their extensive and magnificent mansion. The royal party were so extremely delighted, that the viewing of the premises occupiel them till five o'clock, ex cept the time that was occupied in partaking of a dejeene, 1 consisting of a great variety of delicacies. Yesterday a Court of Directors was held at the East India House, when the following Commanders took leave of the Court, previous to departing for their respective de , tinations, :—Captain Henry Hamner, Prince Regent; and Captain Thomas W. Barrow, General Hewitt,—fot Bengal direct. Ms. SA PLEIt'S ASCENT FROIN CHESTER.—This ascent tonic place on Monday. A most respectable Committee, at the head of which was the Mayor, assisted Mr. Sadler in his arrangements. A two-inch pipe had been laid from the gas-works in Cuppin-street to the grand area in front of the Shite Hall (from whence the ascent took place), and another communicated with that which supplied the *Castle with gas: from these mediums the balloon was inflated. 'We should have 'remarked that the gas was supplied gratuitously. During the flay the crowds that flocked round the Nall, and the continual arrival of carriages, horses, &c. made it necessary tc station several parties of the 5341 outside, the band of which regiment at tended, and played several pieces of music during the day. The ascent was fixed for two o'clock, but owing to an al- tercation between the Committoe and Mr. Sadler (who, at one time, 'lceland his intention not to ascend at all), it was delayed until a quarter past six, when the majestic ma chine entered the boundless space of air in the moat grand and beautiful style. The serenity of the evening occa sioned his being in sight for nearly three-quarters of an hour, anti prevented his going any distance, as be descended safely in the neighbourhood of Tarporley. ELOPEMENT P.XTItAO N A KY.—A chaise and fbur parsed through Penrith about nine o'clock on Wednesday evening last, on its way to Mrs. Hymen's, Annan. It returned about eight on the following morning, and the party set down to breakfast at the George Inn, after which they throve oil to Grassmere, their place of residence. The wilted ages of the party amounted to kW, viz. bride, SO; hritiegooni, Gee ; bridegroom's man, 61. The bridegroom travelled in his dirty working apron, which was elegan tly folded round his waif,t, anti his beard of a fortnight's growth. They were closely pursued by the heir of the old gentleman, sellout he was in hopes of being able to per :made to telinquish the object of his alfcction—but he was too late.—York Parer. Ct. v. at e SA 31.-1 n some parish churches it was the ctistqin to separate the unit from the women. A clergy man, being interrupted by loud talking, stopped short, when a woman, eager for the honour of the sex, arose and said—" lour Reverence, it is not among us."—" So much the better," answcred the Priest ; " it will be over the cient:r." THE LErEE, COURT, 4c. Ytsterdav his Majesty held S Court and Levee at his Palace in Pail-mall. Thc usual attendants were at their &Winne between twelve and one o'clock. Sir Richard 'Ernie, the Chief Ma , -,istra:e of the Police, and Townsend and Sayer, the Otfieers, with others of the Police, were in attendance. The Grand Hall was lined by the Police. Two of the tallest men in the Life Guards, upwards of six feet high, dressed as Cuirassiers, were stational in the Grand Hall also. A detachment from the King's Guard marched into the Court, with their band, in state uniform. Soon after, the gates were opened for the admission of the company. A detachment of the Life Guards, dressed ns Cuiras siers, did not arrive in Waterloo-place till two o'clock, when their numerous and superior hand played alternately -1 • with the hand of the Foot Guards. 1 At two o'clock aU was in readiness for receiving the King. The Earl of Courtoun, the Captain of the Ilon. I Band of Gentlemen Pensioners, together with all the other Officers, and Lieutenant Henna, Sir George Pococke, and Mr. John Stephen, together with the complement of the Gentlemen of the corps, were in attendance in the Presence Chamber. His Majesty entered the State Rooms Isoon after two o'clock, when the Field Officers in waiting, accompanied by the Colonel of the Guard, made a report to the King of the effective state of the three regiments of Foot Guards. The King entered his royal closet, when the Earl of Lauderdale was admitted to an audience, and delivered the orders of the Garter, Cross, St. Michael, and St. George of the lonian Islands, wont by his late brother, Sir Thomas Maitland. 'lime Marquis of Lothian hail the honour of' an audience • to deliver the badge of the Order of the 'f histle, worn by his late father. The Bishop} of Ba f tb and 1i ell., and Chichester, were admitted into the roial closet, and did homage before his Majesty upon their election to their sees. The Bishop of Lincoln attended as Clerk of the Royal Closet ; as did Nlr. Secretary Peel. His Majesty gave audiences to the Portuguese and Dutch Ambassadors ; also to the reigning Prince, Reuss d'Ebers dorf Lobenstein and Gera.

I Irvin the Guyanntent I .per, the A",,,;..e..lintationrer.) -riINGTON, Ar va am 30. , - The Bill for a revision of the it is apprehended be its friends, has already received its death-bloc in the Senate. 'Th.! vote for striking out the proposed increase of duty on iron sr-richly menaced it, but the vote of yestentay, strik.ng at the duty on hemp, is considered fatal to it; every Sc: ,itor is is his seat (.here is ore vacancy occasioned by the appointment of Mr. Edwards, of 113. nobs, to Mexico;, and both the abure votes have been determined by one vote only. MAY I. Nothing of importance has taken place in the House of Rcpre sentativcs y. The Senate has been engaged again on the Tariff'. Mr. Barbour moved to except minaburgs, tieklenburgs, ard hurlars„ from the proposed duty of 23 per cent. The friemts of the Bill once more rallied, and this time succeislid by a vote, 24 to 21, in sustaining the duty. The vote is so close as to render it intpossib!e to predict its fate. ItosTcoc. MAY R. A person who calls! himself Louis XVII. of France, has made his:immanence in IVashingum. The time ef his birth corresponds with that of the Dauphin's, and his features arc said dimly to re semble those of the Bourbon fanaly. De tells a plausible tale, and shews certain marks on his head, which he says his sister the Duchess of Angouleme will a: once recogriae. Ile mates he was carried ofr from the Temple is greet RCC•7MV, bmught up amorg the Alps, and afterwards sent to the island of Cuba, where he learned the trade of a carpenter. aril where he resided till he came to this country. Ile has prevailed on a ritiernan at Washington to have the events of his life comn.unicaual to the Duchess of Aa gmilerne. 'rite Roston Coitrier of the 10th Mu contains the correspondence which took place last year between our Minister to the United States, Mr. Sitatford Canning, and Mr. quince Mama, American S.vretary of State, on the subject of the concession of a mutual search of suspre.:ol slave vessels. Our reasoning proved in this instance una vailing ; but the United Siatzs, as well as ourselves, will declare the slave trade piratical. The following passages from the letter of Mr. Adams, conveys the general objec tion of America to all concession of the nature demanded, and also indicates her ansiely to establish the broad prin ciple so favourable to ntu;rals, " that free bottoms should make free goods:''— •• This search far, and seizure of, the property of an enemy in the vessel of a frienel, is a relict of the barbarous warftete barbarous eges ; the crud, aril. for the most part, now eupisatef system of pri: at, war. As it canteens the eeemy himself, it incinsistent with that nitiieated usage of modern wars, which respects the private pri•periy of bh:Mende on the land. As relates to the neutral, it is a violation of his natural right to pursue. unmolested, his peaceful commercial Intercourse with his friend. Invidiotte as is its cher-tater, in both these aspects, it has other easential enaracterieties, equally obnoxious. It is an u• ca. :r ilia! caereise ie . :mil...ire. by a man in anus over a man without defense; by an otlieer of one nation over the citizen of another; a titan intent upon the annoyance of his enemy, responsible for the art of search to to tribunal. and always promoted to balance the disappointment ea' a treeless search by the abusive exercise of his rawer, anti to peevish the mated fur the very clearness of his ficutrality. It has, in sheet, all the features of unbridled power, stimulated by hostile and unaocial passions. " • a .• a.uch being the view taken of the right of search, as recognized by the law in nations, and exercised by belligerent pawns. it ;•1 elite to candour to state, that my government has an insuperablc objection to its t - NZellllalloll b j treaty. in any manner whatever, Let it might lead to ceesi clue -aces still n.ore tientrietis to the Uniied states, and eapecially in the circumstance alluded to.
