An inquiry has been made on the subject, and several witnesses have been examined. but up to this moment no one has corroborated the charge of the Princess, ex oept the valet of her Royal Highness, for even the coachmen and tont meta declare that they did not hear the exclamation.

There is a good deal of excitement here on account of the pub. It..ation of the Count de 3lontlosier, particularly as the King is said to hare expressed hinisc!! with great bitterness against the Members of the bar who advised the Count's denunciation of the Jesuits. The manifestations of feeling here in the coffee-houses and other plates of public resort, are decidedly hostile to the Jesuits, and those by whom they ate protected. Violent songs Mara the Jesuits have been profusely distributed t and in some in. seances they have been sung openly in the streets.

The following is the result of the sentence pronounced in the affair of the conspirators at St. Petersburgh : Thirty-six have been sentenced to death—five only have suffeted an ignominious death—they have been hanged. It is above fit years since th.! punishment had been inflicted in Rtpoia. The sentences of the others have been commuted. Most of them have been condemned to labour in the mines. On the 23d of July, in the evening, the tribunal repaired in a body to t h e fortress, to announce their sentence to the accused. The following were hanged on the 34th, in the morning :—Rey lit ff, a retired Sub-Lieutenant Journalist ; Kahoosky Bestonicheff Cap:ain in the Reziment of the Guards of Moscow; Potel, Colonel of the Viatka Regiment of Infantry ; Serge 31ouravieff, Lieutenant-Colonel of the Regiment of Infantry of Tchernigofr. A funeral ceremony was performed on the 25th, in the morning, the Emperor and Empress were present at it. The place was afterwards purified. The ceremony made the most profound impression on all the persons who were present. The Emperor was to set out for Moscow on the Bth of July. " We see what credit we may give to the Courrier Francois, which pretended that fresh disturbances had taken place at St. Petershurgh."—Note if Etoile. We have this instant received news from Constantinople of the 11th July. The standard of the Prophet was still displayed at the Divan. The organization of the new troops was proceeding with activity. The greatest tranquillity prevailed at Constantinople. The Augsbu►g' Gazette has the following news from Constanti nople of the 10th July : " No essential change has taken place in this capital since the departure of the last post. The accomplishment of the new mea sures of the Government is proceeded in with activity, and tran quillity has not been interrupts d. The Sultan visits the Mosque as usual with an escort of Topchis, and the Grand Vizir seems to enjoy the confidence of the armed Mussulmans in the capital. All the accounts from theprovincea are equally favourable." -9• c following is from Odessa, July Ill: 7 1 ,",*! - The eyes of see torsoloponAcktosann, whiEte inferences wisigli are intended to lead to a definitive soon be opened, between the Russian and Turkish Commissioners. It must be hoped that the Divan will not misunderstand the pacific spirit of our two Emperors, Alexander and Nicholas, which will be ronarkable in history ; but that it will seriously think of ac complishing the great work of peace. Europe has duly appreciated the immense sacrifice which Russia has made to preserve pa= for many years past; the policy of this empire, as well as that of Europe, constantly tends to the preservation of the state of peace. May the Porte not consider . the foolish attempts of some degene. rate sons of Russia as anything but chimeras, which have not been able to diminish in any respect the internal strength of Russia; and may it demand nothing which could offend the na tional spirit." A letter from Corfu of July 4, in the Diario di Roma of July 27, announces that the Sersskier has invited, with the most flattering m manses., all the Greeks who have taken refuge at Calamos, to return to Missolonghi. Some of them have returned, under the guarantee of the famous Varnachiotti. They have been furnished with pro visions, and even their arms have been returned to them. The letters from Prevesa confirm the news of the check expe rienced by the Seraskier on his attempt to enter Livadia : his loss is stated at 1,000 men. Ibrahim Pacha, too, is said to have been attacked by the Greeks, on his march from Tripoli= to Modon and Coven, and to have experienced considerable hiss. The news of the arrival of the Egyptian expedition at Modon is not confirmed. A letter from Leghorn affirms that on thll9th Lord Cochrane's squadron was in sight of that port. The statement of the huficateur of Bourdeaux, that France is going to send 09,000 men to Spain, to maintain absolute power And to overthrow the Contitution of Spain*, is as true as that of the Constitutionnel, that the Clergy offered to raise 40,000 troops, pro vided they might name the Officers.

LFrotn the Quo:Wit:mei Mammy, Attn. 1. It is observed that there are constantly very active couttnitMca t;oris between Madrid and Lisbon. It appears that the capital of Portugal continues to be governed by the English Cabinet. The latter sends us Sir William A'Coust, and it is said that his object is to demand imperatively the recognition of the independence of South America. If 31r. Canning wishes to place his dem dnee upon the Liberalists in Spain of in Portugal, the mi.- eion which is supposed to have been given to Sir William A'Court would he a miscalculation, for the Liberalism in Spain do nut wish any mote than the Royalists for the rode. perilente of the Colonies. The English Cabinet should not forget that the Cortes, in the time of their power, cent & tly re fusest to recognize the new Republics. They had not carried their extravagance so far as to say, let our Colonies perish rather than n single principle. Enlightened politicians are persuaded here, that is the present state of things it would, perhaps, be more easy for Franco to push forward her troops to Lisbon at present, than it was to send them to Madrid three years ago: but we are quite certain beforehand that this vigorous determination will only n.cet with timid partisans in the Cabinets of Europe. The tear of string is at present the great disease of States. Revolutions will never cease till active courage revive among the Statesmen of all cauntries. If men were aware how much prudence there was in the energy and vivacity of measures, they would not fail to abandon this undecided course, this expectant policy, which alone i. imprudent—which alone is dangerous to thrones and to society. Front the absence of energetic measures, some persons hope at least to be able to establish a corder of troops on the frontiers of Portugal ; but we cannot venture even to suppose that this !Ivey measure will be adopted. It will appear more convenient to aw.ut events than to anticipate them. The monarchical portion of the world has taken the peasant of Horace for its model, and the v *sea of the !satin poet for its motto— " Rusticue expectat donee et defluat amnia."

A Journal (the ('oeirricr Fraurais), which continually repeated that the Portuguese Charter was the work of the English Cabinet, contains to-day the following article : " There is much talk of a Circular, said to be addressed by Mr. Canning to the several Cabinets, to assure them that the English Ministry had n o part in the resolution taken by the Emperor Don Ped do minions, which he inh er it e d by the death of his father; an d that ro, as King o f P or t uga l, to g ive a Charter to his European tbe English C a bi net h a d not , e i t h er directly or through its kin bassador, interposed in any manner in the drawing up of that im portant act. According to the reports in circulation, the same Circular says that the Cabinet of St. James's sees in this act only the natural exercise of the most legitimate right of sovereignty— the application of the principles openly professed by the Holy Al. liance, on the power which Kings alone have, to grant to the coun tries which they govern such institutions as they judge best adapted to their wants. That England consequently would not think itself authorized to oppose the measure of a Prince who is its ally, and that its policy towards Portugal would be guided by these maxims." GREECE.

Albanians, Illahometans, and Christians, will not recognize either Salts" Vizir, or Paellas. The Envoys of the Porte who were there have been murdered or hung. The Lisbon Gazette of the 29.4 i July contains a highly important article, which most ha ve reached this country before, though not hitherto published. It affords an ad ditional proof of the watchfulness of his Majesty's Go vernment in all cases where the interests of its subjects are concerned. It has provided for the payment of the Portuguese Loan of 1523, out of the first payments from Brazil. The Sth of Geo. IV., which makes the traffic in slaves a capital felony, has been brought into operation against the late Captain of the merchant vessel Malta, of Liver pool, who was charged st Bow-street on Tuesday with selling four women for slaves whilst in the river Danger, on the African coast. To the honour of the British Go vernment, it has never lost an opportunity of remonstrating with Foreign States against the continuance of slave-deal ing; and it has added example to remonstrance, by taking measures to bring its own subject to punishment, should it be eventually proved that he has been guilty of the crime imputed to him. The Magistrates of all ranks have per tinaciously seconded the honourable course pursued by Ministers for the destruction of this brutal traffic, regarding which, thank God ! there is but one opinion among Eng lishmen of all classes. Another branch of the Slave sys tem—that of endeavouring to force the unfortunate obj:ct„ of avarice and cruelty on board their vessel when they had once set foot on the British soil—was a few months since brought under the especial notice of the public by the spi rited conduct of some private individuals, and afterwards, by. thelyomptitude of the Lord Chief Justice Basr, who 4rained . aAtari,* itrifilletit individuala to bo brought before him, when he emphatically declared that slavery could not exist in England, and that every subject of his M►Jesrv, whether white or black, was a free agent, so long as he kept within the pale of the law, and could not be coerced by any regulations that exist with respect to slavery elsewhere. Sir RICHARD BtRNIE, in the .instance before us, has acted with a very becoming vigour; and his firmness in not taking bail when so strongly urged to it by the professional advisers of the accused, shows the determination of the Magistrates at Bow street to put the salutary Act of his present NlAir.sry in strict operation ; which will at least convince Foreign Powers that the British Government does not remonstrate against the traffic in slaves, without being prepared to proceed to the utmost extremity of punishment against its own subjects who are found guilty of it. The Times, in the plenitude of its rancour, poured forth a few days since some vulgar abuse against Lord PAL- EasToN, in connexion with the Cornwall and Devon Mining Company. We did not at the time think it ne cessary to remark upon the acrimony of the article in question, because we were convinced that the first oppor tunity that was afforded for explanation would show that the Noble Lord did not participate in any arrangement that would not bear the strictest scrutiny. The meeting of this Association that was held yesterday produced only an ex-parte statement; but it was composed of those indi viduals who would have been in direct hostility to his Lord ship, could there hare been the slightest reason for im- puting malversation to him ; but so far from there being any attempt of the kind made, it was distinctly declared that the Noble Lord's conduct was in accordance with the strictest honour. This statement, we dare say, will no t satisfy the Times; for Lord l'At.mEnsTou is an official personage, a Secretary at War, and that, in the pure eyes of the Times Journalist, is the greatest crime a man can commit, next to the one of being a First Lord of the Trea sury, or a Foreign Secretary. We shall offer some observations on the proceedings of parties connected with this Company to-morrow, which our apace will not allow us to do to-day. We observe a long article, in the shape of a letter to the Editor, in the Morning Post of yesterday, the object of which seetni to be, by reproducing the imperfect notions originally advanced by MALTHUS, to prove the necessity of continuing the restrictive system in the Corn Trade. It is necessary sometimes to force benefits upon a certain :lass of persons. The unenlightened portion of the Coun try Gentry still feel a reluctance in giving up this fancied bulwark of their interests, and every possible idea is laid hold of to divert the attention of the public from the real cause of our distresses. A Journalist finds that there is some talk of a new palace, and, by an awkward and ill judged attempt to flatter Majesty, he has contrived to promulgate an implied satire, by the unwarranted as snmption of a demi-official tone in advocating an increase of taxation, in order to erect such buildings. his MA.. JESTY is not indebted to the advocates of obsolete iwejudieet for the popularity which he now enjoys. The nation - has now learned what it must be admitted it once had to learn— that his MAJESTY is, by nature and habit, the friend and the father of his people. However much we may respect the motives of our contemporaries, we cannot help feeling in dignant that they should bieathe an idea which could imply a suspicion that his MAJ ESTY is actuated by such contracted notions. It does not give a true idea of our most gracious Sovereign, to suppose that his MA JESTY would build palaces, in order to shift the burden of poor-rates from the land-owner to the manufacturer; yet this is the only conclusion which can be drawn from the ap pearance of such articles. No ornamental public work is now talked of but a Royal Palace; a paragraph appeared on the same day with the article is the Courier, mentioning some particulars of the new palace. Every body must con clude that the thing is concerted. Some way even be so much the dupes of pretension as to imagine that his MAJESTY wishes such sentiments to be propagated. 'We pretend to no peculiar means of ascertaining the feelings of his MAJ ESTI' ; but we have too much confidence in the magnanimity of his sentiments, to think it nec2ssary to inquire what may be his views (xi this subject. They are those of a great monarch, we are well rssured—of a monarch who considers the happiness of his people as the most splendid of palaces, awl the power of relieving distress as the most glorious of prerogatives. Ills views are not so contracted as to lead him, to employ masons and carpenters in order to re lieve cotton spinners—to spend money on marbles, in order that more still may he spent to employ the poor in cutting them—to increase the burdens of the great body of the people, in order to relieve their dis tress—to heap up stones, in order to increase the quantity of subsistent:. We are very far from discouraging public works, even for ornament. In the case of Majesty, the ornamental and the useful are the same, for the best inte rests of the State are connected with the dignity of the executive ; but in this, as in every thing, we must not consi der what is useful and what is not useful, brit what it; more useful and what is less useful. The erection of a palace might produce a certain degree of relief; but to talk of public works as a general method of employing the poor, and to talk in a way which could give the most distant idea that his MAJESTY had any feeling which would render him open to this species of insinu ation, is at once an insult to his good sense, and an impeachment of his paternal and patriotic sentiments. Such expedients afford a pretty clear indication of the diffusion of more liberal notions among the really influen tial part of the landed interest. They prove clearly, that the enlightened, both in and out of the Cabinet, are per suaded of the benefit to be expected to the landowners themselves from the adoption of a free trade in corn. They show that none continue to adhere to antiquated prejudice, but those who are incapable of devising any really efficient methods of averting the change to a better system. CITY, WEDNESDAY EVENING ~' cif ; Consols have suffered a still further depression to-day. At the opening of the market they were 781 79 ; in the middle of the day they subsided to 784 tl, and eventually closed at .741. A variety of rumours were in circulation, but which appeared wholly without foundation. It was stated that, in consequence of differences between Spain and Portugal, a Congress was immediately to be held at l'aris, which was to be attended by Mr. CANNING, on the part of England. One thing is certain, that the Bears have gained their point, in lowering the price of Consols. There were very considerable sales to-day at 78:1 ; and certainly, if there is any truth in the report of an approaching Congress, it will have the effect of reducing Consols at least 3 per cent Exchequer Bills remain at 18 19 ; and India Bonds are at 31. In the Foreign Market there has been a further depres sion. In the early period of the day it was intimated that the Laura had artived at Guernsey, from the Havannah, anti that shit 10eught unfavourable news 'Nur colombia• Upon inquiry, it did not appear that any such intelli gence had been received ; it had, however, the effect of reducing the Colombian Bonds to 34. In Mexican there was also a depression of 21 per cent., in consequence, as it is stated, of Bills drawn by the Government of that coun try on England having been dishonoured ; but even this circumstance was not confirmed : they closed at 52. These securities seem to be so intimately connected, that it ap pears difficult to separate the interest which attaches to them. The report of bad news from Spain had the effect of raising- Spanish Bonds from 9i to 10. In the Share Market there is a considerable reaction : Tlalpuxaltua have retrograded to 11, and Brazil to Se premium. The news from the Manufacturing Districts is not of a nature to create any increased anxiety. The progress of demand is very slow, but still it is in progress. The amount of wages to each individual is very trifling; but that of course will, as things advance, correct itself. Em ployment is the first consideration ; a fair remunerating -;ee will follow. Despatches were received at the Foreign-office yester day, from the Right Hon. Sir William A'Court, our Minister at Lisbon, to Mr. Secretary Canning. MIDDLESEX Hostirat., AUG.

B.—There is a very good asaem "blagt of visitors at thiattresout spas E to tit thew salu brious waters, every morning of an early hour, which is considered essential to the invalids by their medical at tendants. The morning and evening promenais at the different spas, where arc excellent bands, are very nu merously attended, particularly at the Montpelier in the evenings, where the walks and rooms are brilliaotly illu minated with gas. There are numerous parties, which are fashionably attended, as well as frequent private balls at the hotels and boarding houses. This day a *netting of the Cheltenham Auxiliary Bible Society was held at the New Rotunda or Pump Room at the Montpelier Spa, which was gratuitously granted by Mr. Thompson, the proprietor, at which was a very numerous assembl age of ladies and gentlemen. NI It. BEAUM ON T.—The Chronielo isantrudieta a state ment in our paper of last week, that the eorrettrondenee be tween Mr. Beaumont and Lord Grey was published " without the consent or knowledge of Sir John Swin burne." We are not, however, inclined to retract this as sertion. We are assured that a gentleman called Mr. Beaumont out of the Grand Jury Room, and.said.that lie had uothorirli from Sir John Swinburne to tel him, that the publication of the correspondence was made without his knowledge or consent. —Tyne Mercury. The very absurd paragraph respecting Mr. Beaumont, which has lat^ly been copied by so many of our contem poraries from the Leeds Merenry,- we observe is contra dicted in that paper of last Saturday. "It is due from us," says the Editor, " to mention that we have the au thority of Mr. Beaumont for contradicting the statement which appeared in this paper of last week, relating to what was there called the extraordinary cure produced upon his mind by the supposed death of Lady Swinburne, no such event as that referred to having taken place." s o petion can doubt the quarter whence the paragraph alluded to must have proceeded.—lbid. • f 1 ! i~ 5 SDI *ll
