He drew forth a horsewhip, and iustantly applied it to Mr. Hunt's rhoulders mu such a manner, as that the strokes or the whip were Iwurd outside amongst the crowd, who in vain endeavoured to burst through into the hustings to be a witness of this extraordinary scene. In a moment the confusion became general, the crowd closed upon Mr. Dowlisig. and Mr. West and others seized bins by the collar. and, depriving him of his whip, prevented on his part further vi,,. Iron. During the fracas the dumb brother and she younger limit contrived to strike him some blows upon the face, across the shoulders of those who surrounded him. The civil power had by this time so effectually interfered, that all further vies leoce wits suppressed. Mr. D. soon afterwards ap peared at Bow-street Office, where he preferred "charge of assault *pima the dumb brother of Hunt. Mr. Hoot declined to bind Mr. Dowling over to keep the peace, although reminded by the woe- Nliy Magistrate that lie had been treated with the 'utmost indignity. He only replied, he thought no.

But on leaving the office he reminded dlr. Hunt. that neither of them having entered into recognizaisces to keep the peace, he should expect to hear from him sr a Gentleman as soon as he *could make up his mind to act with becoming spirit.—Mr. Hunt then returned to the hustings. The state of the poll et two o'clock was as fol lows :--- Theal fir Samuel Rossilly kir Francis Burdett Sir Murray Maswell Drury Haut, Frq After two o'clock the booths began to fill with cump eny. a vast concourse or people occupied the open space before and about the hustings. a con siderably greater number than usual of well-dressed persons were distinguishable in the crowd, and the stands or booths full of persons of the greatest Irespectability, amongst whom we recognis e d sere sal persons of rook and fashion. The whole im mense concourse of people seemed particularly in tent upon catching a glimpse of Mr. Hunt. owing vo the wiije circulation which by this time had been given to the story of his having been horse whipped. Differeut persons in the crowd cried out to Mr. Hunt, " Where is Dowding?"—" How are your shoulders, Hunt ?" which were succeeded by bursts of groans and hisses. We observed a fellow perched ass the highest beam which 'imports the ow g of the booths, holding in his hand a sort of white Hag, upon which were distinctly seen two figures hangisig in one gallows. Upon the gallows was written in large letters, " Close of she Poll," nod above it, its still larger characters. were written •• Maxwell, Castle---, and Co. Broihers-in. hoe." Out of the pocket of the taller of these figures boom a scroll of parchment resembling an Act uf Par. liameso, inscribed, " juspeissium of the Habeas Copses."

He then ordered his followers to give three cheers, which wog complied with. The party then moved off to 714 Morning Post office, where, after a harangue in the Same style, Mr. H. threw a Newspaper among the mob—and they proceeded to the office of The Observe►. In the course of his oration here, he pointed out to the crowd • young Gentleman, whom he accused of uttering remarks hostile to him. Three or four ruffians instantly rushed on the Gentleman, mud knocked him down, and, we are sorry to learn, that he received a severe hurt in one of his legs. When the cavalcade had reached Norfolk -street, Mr. Jones harangued the multitude for some time from the top of the hackney -coach. The gentleman we have above alluded to went afterwards to Bow -street, and rwore informations before Mr. Hicks against Mr. Hunt, for having instigated three or four persons to assault him vio lently, whereby his life, as he believed, was put in danger. A warrant was issued against Mr. Hunt, and the officers were ordered to have him in Court by tea o'clock in the morning. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. GERMAN PAPERS. NADER, JUNE 18. Count Las Cases, who arrived here about a fort night ago with his son, and who hopes, by ti,iog the waters, to recover his health, injured by his long imprisonment, wearisome voyages, and various arnictions, endeavours to live here very retired, and, as in Frankfort, to avoid much company and ex tensive acquaintance.

The mintier in whir i his aff,ur has been introduced into the British Par. liainent, and the little delicacy with which a reridill party treated him on this occasion, releases him the tacit obligation of further observing on this side that ►ilence towards it (the party in ques tion) which has hitherto guided his conduct. lie thinks that he owes it to himself and his own ho nour, to refute calumniatory attacks, and he will therefore not hesitate to nuke the public acquainted with the truth, by the publication of a letter, written by him six months ago, directly after hie arrival in Frankfort, to Lord Bathurst, in London, mid which lie has hitherto scrupulously kept secret.

SAXONY, JUNE 18. The public observe, with much satisfaction, by the last accounts from Mentz, that the Govern ment of the Netherlands has given up the point of the 15 per cent. hitherto levied sit Arnheim and Nimeguen, upon the navigation of the Rhine, by which the principal difficulties in the discussions of the Committee on the Navigation of the Rhine are removed—since, by this concession, the staple right of Mentz and Cologne is done away. IVe congratulate the inhabitants of the banks of the Rhine upon this remarkable event, since a great advance is thus made towards the genetal execution of the measures contemplated tor the free navigation of the German rivers. But the more advances are made towards procure ing the free navigation of the Rhine, the more remote do these Governments, whose interests is connected with the navigation of the Elbe, see themselves from these advantages, as long us the stipulation of the Acts of Congress of Vienna tut this head remain unfulfilled.

It is, therefore, inexplicable why the Cominitt,e fur the navigation of the Elbe has not yet begun its operations, which ►s to assemble iii Dresden, not only in conformity with the act of Congress, but also with the 14th and 17th articles of the 5A71014 Treaty of Peace, lath May, 1815, and to which the Goverontents interested were summoned to take the proper measure' in October lust year. We however hope with confidence, that this affair, so important to the general interests of com merce, will soon be regulated.
