The subject of leadi;gl7WQ in the Paris Papers which arrived last night is the intended recognition of the independence of Hayti by the French Government. The Ministerial Journals couple this measure with another of rat importance, viz. the appointment of French Consuls iu the new States on the American Continent. There has Tong been reason to expect that the French Go'rernment would eater upon the wise course which these measures indicate. We bail with the warmest feelings of unmixed pleasure the prospects of close and continued amity which this assimilation of policy opens to the two greatest nations on the face of the globe. The ultra-royalics are already eadeavouring to rare an outcry against M. de Vit.'. k is for sacrificing the " principles of legitimacy " to the " sordid irterests of trade ;" but that blinister has proved that be posiksves too much firmness to be driven from his purpose by the antiquated nonsense of the emigrants, who rail _ - against every approach to a sound commercial system, by stigmatising it as a submission to the " too powerful in fluence of Great Britain." It is very pointedly remarked, that Spain, which adheres strictly to the " principles of legitimacy," is dying of hunger, while England it surfeited with excess of wealth. The private letters we have rct !red from Paris, state, that the indemnity to be paid by the flaytians will mount to one .I:undred and fifty millions of francs, of which sixty millions arc to be paid immediately in specie, and the remaining ninety millions to be remitted in Coffee asid Sugar, id the period of five years from the ratification if the treaty. We understand that a French NlL:Tannic Association has agreed to advance this stun immediately to 4.: Government en the security of the future consign- I meats of produce hom Hayti. The Batik of France will' enable this Association to wake this offer to Monsieur de It:: said that the Nlinista %ill apply this sum in aid of , \ his plan to the reduction of the Rentes. The Etuile ofi Sunday discusses that subject at great length, and confl- 1 dently predicts success in the undertaking. PIENCII FUNDS.—PARTS.

The following important document was received yester day from Greece. It is an official confirmation of the naval victory gained by SACTOUHIS over the CAPITAN PACHA between Capo d'Oro and Andros. The Turkish fleet was almost entirely dispersed. The greater part of the transports had been captured, and the remainder were pursued towards Candia. In this action the Turks lost one frigate and the Admiral's ship by fire. Another frigate and several other vessels were driven on the shores of Syra and Tine. The object of the formidable armament under the CAsIT&N PACHA was to destroy the people and lay waste the Wands of Hydra and Spezzia, as Scio was desolated by his predecessor. A letter from Trieste, dated on the 29th June, has also' been received. It states, that advices from Napoli di Romania, dated on the lst of June, had been received there. General COLO COTSIONI arrived at Napoli on the 24th May, (N. S.) fronalydra, and after solemnly swearing to defend the Constitution of Greece, proceeded on the 27th May to take the command of the Greek army which•had been col lected round Tripolitza, and which amounted to 16,000 soldiers. General Maueouicet.l had also been nominated by the Senate to the corn:nand of another division of the Greek army, consisting of 6,000 men, and had proceeded towards Neutrino. All the petty disputes between the Chieftains of the Peleponnesns had been amicably settled, and a great effort would immediately be made to expel the Mahotnedans from the Morea. The Greek fleet under Admiral Mtatats had formed a junc tion with that under Admiral SACTOURIS, and was cruising betwixt Cerigo and Candia. The CAPITAN PACII A, in the action with the latter on the 40th May, and Ist June, N. S., lost three large men-of-war, and many store-ships. It is disgraceful to Austria to add, that her flag was borne by many of the transports engaged in the Turkish service, and several of her ships were cap tured by the Greeks. The contents of this letter from Trieste are confirmed by others from Leghorn and Genoa. Three cargoes of money are now on the passage from London to Napoli, and also many military stores. This added to the unity, at last, happily existing among the civil and military chiefs, must insure the speedy triumph of the cause of Greek independence. PROVISIONAL GOVERNMENT OF GREECE. " The President of the Executive Power notifies:— " What God is greater than the God of our Fathers? The enemy's fleet had appeared near Cavodoro, and threatened from afar the Islands of Hydra and Spenia. The Government has been forced to call together all the soldiers scattered in the envi rons, to defend the centre of the liberty of Greece. The fleet, composed of about 100 ships of war and transports, having on board troops and provisions of all kinds, has been dispersed after an obstinate combat with our seamen, on the 12th June, between Cavodore and A ndros. Topal Paella, with much difficulty, saved himself with twenty-two of his vessels. The second squadron of our fleet is in pursuit of them. In the midst of the action an enemy's frigate and the Admiral's ship were burnt by our fire-ships. Topal Paths was not, however, on board his ship: he had probably supposed that this time as before our fire-ships would be directed against the Admiral. Several vessels and another vessel which were dispersed and pursued run aground on the coasts of the isles of Tino and Syra. The greater number of the trans ports were taken and carried Into Hydra and Spenls. The rem nant of the enemy's fleet is dispersed about the Egean sea, and according to all appearances will fall into our hands. What makes us hope for the total destruction of the enemy's fleet is, that the first squadron of our fleet yesterday joined the 2d, which fought the battle, and both together will do their utmost to cut off the retreat of the Mahometans. " ()MICAS BALASSIS, Vice-President. "A. BIAURCORDATO, Secretary. " Napoli di Romanis, Jure 5." There can be no greater perversion of the right use of the Press than when its efforts are directed to acomplish some particular views of its conductors, separate and apart from those public considerations by which it should alone be influenced. A strong and just feeling of indignation has been excited in the City by the gross and scandalous remarks made by the Times on Friday last, on the New Brazil Mining Association, called the Castello and Espirito Santo Company. In the article to which we allude, an in sidious attempt was made to connect the appearance of this Association with a notice issued by the Committee of the Foreign Stock Exchange, cautioning its members " against dealing in the shares of any Company with the re spectability and fair conduct of which they are not perfectly satisfied." This, the writer ill the Times pretended, was a " commentary" on the appearance of the new Brazil Mining Association; and he proceeded at once to talk of " Mush room Companies," and to brand all " mining concerns" I indiscriminately as " knaveries" of a less "prompt solution than time-bargains." It is worth while to copy the terms' in which he v:rits his spleen : " Now come forth these mining schemes, which, as the greater serpent swallowed up the less, cast time-bargains Into the shade. Should Share Companies continue, some greater and more atrocious iniquity will succeed, and throw them into obscurity ; for nothing is stationary In this world, every thing is progressive or retrograde. For the present, then, we should wish to recede to time-bargains; and, having returned thither, we should hope to quit soon eves that contaminated spot, and reach at last the barrier from whence we started—that of common honesty and plain dealing." It would be amusing, if we did not feel emotions of a more serious character, to contrast the language in which the Times thought fit to speak on this occasion, and that i■ which en the Bth of December last that journal an flounced the formation of the " Imperial Brazilian Mining Association." The following were the remarks with which the statement of the fact was accompanied:— " Considering the well-known wealth of this province, even al lowing for the usual hayed+ attendant on mining u a science, this undertaking appears to present as fair an opening for the ex tension of British capital and industry as any of the same kind that has been offered to the public." Now this Imperial Brazilian Company is of precisely the stune character as the Castello and Espirito Santo Company, against which the Times levelled its coarse and calum nious assault. Both are also founded on a grant from the Emperor of BRAZIL ; both are for mining in that conntry ; both are supported by " British capital and British in dustry." The only difference is, that one is for mining in one province of Brazil, and the other in another. If the Times had wished to institute a comparison between these two undertakings as to the expectation of profit to be derived from them, in consequence of the greater or less abundance of mineral riches in either province,there might have been fairly laid out a portion of debateable ground, though still we think it would have been a very unsuitable subject for a News paper. But the Times attacks the New Company abso lutely on principle. It is " knavery ;" it is " gambling ;" it is a " nuisance." These are the epithets which the Times (judges is decent to apply to the respectable names asso ciated in the direction of the Castello and Espirito Santo Company. The names of the grantees are not obscure or suspicious ; they rank among the most eminent and Ito , nourablc men in the City of Lyndon. They rise far above the reach of the spiteful and malevolent insinuations of the Times. In maligning them it bites a file which de prives it of the capacity of similar mischief for the future. The 2 imes is liberal in imputing dishonest motives to all wir.7.,.for its own purposes, it thinks proper to attack. We will not follow the example it sets, or we might ascribe its conduct on this occasion to the disappointment of its managers that they were not included in the appropri ation of shares in the Castello and Espirito Santo Com pany as they were in the Imperial Brazilian Asso ciation, which they saw so much reason to applaud. But as regards the former undertaking, what are the facts ? Certain merchants of the City of London apply to the Emperor of Bilotti. for a grant or permission to carry on the business of mining in a certain province in his dominions. They obtain the grant, and then, for the pur pose of carrying it into execution, they form a Joint- Stock Company, stating in their prospectus, openly and fairly, what they have done and what they intend to do. What is there wrong in this Is it unlawful or immoral to carry on the business of mining in Brazil ? The under taking may be profitable or unprofitable. Each adventurer must form his own judgment as to the propriety of the undertaking in that respect; but supposing it to turn out either way, where is the "great and atrocious iniquity" of being concerned in it ? One word more. If there be any " iniquity" in an enterprise of this nature in Brazil, why was it not just as great on the Bth of December, 1624, as on the Bth of July, lisW — " 4 ” 1111 1 1111 ■" -- (Try, 3lowriaT Evxmlue. A great deal of business was transacted this day in the Consols, which for theopening on the 20th inst. were done in the morning at 910 f, and afterwards advanced to 91f. Money Stock is extremely scarce, and yet a large sale was made by an eminent speculator for the August account, at 91i, being one quarter per cent. under the highest price of the day.

American Securities are per cent. dearer than tlo.y were yesterday. Greek Scrip is ?1 per cent. dearer, notwithstanding the heavy instalment payable on it this day. Prussian and Austrian Bonds are scarce, and a considerable demand for them could not be satisfied without a proportionate improvement in their value. In the Shiites of respectable Companies, few transactions have been declared, and there is, we believe, no variation in their value, nor was there much doing in Shares of a doubtful character. While alluding to this subject, we may express our astonishment that any bankcrof eminence should lend his name in advertisements for new Companies, of which, the object is neither clear from sus. picion, tor the individuals with whom they originate sufficiently known to the public. Baron Frimont, hitherto General in Chief of the Army in the kingdom of the Two Sicilies, has been appointed Commander in Chief of Lombardy, in the place of the late Count Bubn a. The Coronation of the Empros of Austria, as Queen of Hungary, is said to be fixed for the 4th October, which is the Emperor's Saint's-day. Letters from Genoa, dated 29th June, state the depar ture on that day of the King and Queen of Naples and their suite for Leghorn, where the fleet commanded by his Excellency Count Preville, Vice-Admiral, was waittng to convey them to Naples. A gentleman of great commercial information left Lon ' don last week ma most important mission from Govern ment. He proceeds to all the northern countries of Europe, for the purpose of ascertaining minutely what price the foreign agriculturist can raise his corn and transmit it to England. His report will be made to the Ministry prc iously to the consideration of the corn laws next session of Parliament. It is stated in a recent letter from New York that Joseph Bonaparte intended shortly to visit Ireland, with his suite, and that he might be expected in the first week in August. We understand that the distinguished stranger, on his ar rival, will proceed to view the Lakes of Killarney, the Giant's Causeway, and the other natural curiosities and I delightful scenery of this beautiful and unfortunate country.—Dublin Morning Register. On Tuesday, the sth inst.

It is reported that he intends to make a short tour in the north of Ireland.—Dublin Morning Post. Mr. JUDGE, CPELTEND AM.—lt is stated, on the autho rity of a provinciallpaper, that the second horsewhipping of this gentleman was not of that courteous nature as was in dustriously reported by the assailants or their friends. From the statement to which we allude it appears true enough that there were " two horsewhips" in the case, but by no means true that a choice of either was offend to Mr. Judge. On the contrary, although they were both pre sented to him, it was in the form of an hostile application to his person on the part of the proprietor and printer of the rival Cheltenham Journal, who laid in wait for him behind the pit entrance of the theatre. We are informed that his Royal Highness the Duke of York has been pleased to accept personally from the Editor of the English Gentleman a copy of the Protestants' song, presented to his Royal Highness in the name of the Editor 'and Proprietors of that Paper. An infant school was opened last week in Newington butts. The applications for admission were so numerous that in less than an hour as many children were admitted as it was deemed prudent to take. None are received under two years of age. WINCHESTEn.—Much business is expected at our as-1 sizes, which commence on Monday. Mr. Justice Littledale will preside in the Nisi prius Court, and Mr. Justice Gaselee in the Crown Court. Three special juries are already entered for trial, and several more are expected. There are forty-five prisoners for trial, six of whom are for murder.—The quarter sessions are, in consequence, post poned to Tuesday, the 19th inst. TRADE IN GEIIIIANY.—The Germans have for some time past evinced a disposition to share in the commerce of the New Wolk!, and more than one Society has been formed for this purpose. At Hirachberg, in Silesia, a Company ' has lately been formed for sending flour to South America, with a capital of 500,000 crowns.—French Paper. CARRYING LETTERS IN VHS MAIL COACIIES.—We think it right state that great vigilance has been within these few days used to detect individuals in the unlawful practice of carrying letters, when they travel in mail coaches. A gentleman was arrested in Monaghan last week, for a fine of 10/. which be incurred in this way.— Dublin Morning Register. From all parts of the empire we receive the most cheer ing accounts of the prospect of the harvest. The wheat promises a most abundant crop. The oats look uncom monly well. The only article which may be expected to be rather short in crop we understand to be the barley. SCHOOL or MINERS.—With the view of having the mines in Cornwall wrought by well instructed and intelli gent miners, it is proposed to establish a school of miners at Redrutb, with three professors to teach the arts and sciences connected with mining. On Friday morning, about three o'clock, about 100 ves sels sailed from this port: the sight on the river was truly beautiful.—Livcrpool Mercury. BEGGARS ON HORSEDACK.—InBuenos Ayres horses are so plentiful that beggars make their rounds asking altos on horseback, and do not consider that position as diminishing in any degree their claims to sympathy. In Sussex the hops promise very badly ; it is at present estimated that the duty will not exceed 35,000/. Yesterday a match was played on our bowling-green, be tween six gentlemen of IVincbester and six of this town ; the games were excellently contested. The match was de cided in favour of the latter gentlemen. A return match is to take place at Winchester in August mt.—Soar/42m - ton Herald.

GRAND AQUATIC if ATCII AT COWES. JULY 9. Cowes, ever delightful from the beauty of its bay, and the variety of its surrounding scenery, promises this season to be particularly animated and attractive ; in addition to the usual amusements aftbrded by the meeting of the Royal Yacht Club,..and the annual Regatta, a match has just been made between the Pearl and the Liberty cutters, owned by the Marquis of Anglesea, and the Arrow and Jutia yachts, owned by the spirited Joseph and James Weld, Esqrs. for eight hundred guineas a-Ade, to be de termined as follows :—on th 3 27th of this month, the two, small vessels the Julia and Liberty will start frcm Copts roads, and sail to Swanage and back, a distance of one hundred miles (out and home), for three hundred pt ands a-side: and on the following day (the 24th) the Pearl will contest the same distance with the Arrow, for one thousand guineas (five hundred a-side.)—The speed of the Julia and Liberty is considered nearly equal, and the race will prove a very close one, from the known superior sailing and seamanship of the vessels and crews.—The Pearl is considered in the island to !have rather the advantage of the Arrow, but they are both fine yachts, and much will depend on the assistance they may derive from old Boreas. —There are already considerable sums depending on the went. The visitors are pouring in vety fast, and houses will shortly be difficult to obtain.

Tits DOKE or WELLINGTON AND HIS MAJESTY'S POSTMAN —Yesterday afternoon, a few minutes after five o'clock, his Grace had nearly incurred the misfortune of driving over the general postman who plies between the end of Piccadilly and the purlieus of Knightsbridge. The Duke, in turning his auricle, drawn by a pair of magnificent chargers, round the corr.er of Grosvenor-place, encountered the honest letter-carrier, who, absorbed in the noisy clamour of his bell, was leisurely crossing the road at the same point. The peril of the man was obvious to all but himself, his mind being too muds engrossed by the importance of the tintina bulary warning which he was so lustily dealing forth, to be aware of the presence of danger. It was in vain the Field Marshal ordered a retreat in the most commanding tone of his voice; the unconscious bellman turned a deaf car to all but the sounds of which he was the author. Nothing, in short, but the quickness of eye and hand, the martial comp crwil of the noble driver, avoided a fearful accident. The pole had already crossed the bellman's shoulder crc the horses could be reined. The man continuing to look stupidly after the carriage as it rolled away, a gentleman asked him if he knew who it was that had so nearly run over him. "No," was the answer, "but I think he might have taken more care, and me in the King's livery too—my life's as good as his'n, I'll be bound, although I do ring a bell and he drives a pair o' horses." " Ah, you wouldn't have been the first man in a King's livery by some thousands whom he has brought to the ground." " In deed !—it' I'd thought he really meant to do me a mischief I'd ha' thrown my bell after him." " Why, it was the Duke of Wellington, man !"—" Oh," said the honest postman, recovering his composure, and handling his bell again, " that alters the case ' • God bless Itis. Honour, I'd carry a letter for his Royal Highness any day for nothing!" The Duke of Devonshire's public breakfast at Chiswick, on Saturday, was attended by upwards of seven hundred of the royal and noble persons who at present remain in London or the neighbourhood, and it was given in a style of snagnitLence and splendour worthy the head of the house of Cavendish. This fete was suspended in conse quence of she indisposition of the amiable Duke, who is now perfectly recovered. The fineness of the day allowed all the varied amusements which had been projected its the ' different parts of these enchanting grounds, to be realised. ' Waltzing was enjoyed on the green velvet lawn behind the mansion, by the more juvenile and frolicsome portion of this gay assemblage. The Duke and Duchess of Northumber land were present, and, at different periods of the fine af ternoon, each were surrounded by groups of the Nobility, who were anxious to inquire about the rare doings at Paris and at Rheims during the Coronation of Charles X. It was late in the evening before all the company departed. The Duke and Dilidiesa of Northumberland passed on to their house at S:on. COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE. The grand show of the French Coronation was produced 'at this house last night. It was placarded in the play-bills 1 under the head of The Ramsbothms at Rheims, with a second title of A Local Sketch, to in tr , ,duce the Coronation of Charles I, King. of France. We cannot help ex pressing our obligations en ,passant to the author of the jLccal Sketch for giving us the help of the attribute " local" Ito the meaning of his piece. A sketch which should fail I to represent the localities of the scene which it pretended ! to depict, would be an article possessing far snore attrac tions in the way of novelty than even the ceremony of the French Coronation on the stage. However, let this pass, a •.I possums as :acre. The prefatory matter is of a very silly description. Per haps the anxious anticipations of the chief business of the piece render that tedious, which, under other circum stances, might appear tolerable. The adventures of the Itamsbuttoms, the family of a vulgar cit. living at "No. Montagu-place," who trust themselves for the first time upon French ground, occupy tlle better half of the piece. The incidents possess little humour, nor arc the jokes new. T here is a love affair, as usual, which ends in Miss Ramsbottunt running away with Mr. O'Connor, to the great grief of her disconsolate parents. At length the show snakes its appearance e,n the stage. A platform is suddenly, and with great ingenuity of contrivance, erected round the orchestra. This is very tastefully spread with a tissue of blue cloth, with the ,fieur de lys plenteously worked in. The curtain rising, presents the exterior of the Cathedral of Rheims, and the French guards stationed in different parts of the scene. The different preliminary movements of the military in this early stage of the busi ness, serve to impress an air of reality upon the coming procession. Of the procession itself we shall not pretend to give a detailed account : that will be found in some of our earlier numbers, under the head of " French In telligence." The King, the members of the Royal Family, the Marshals of France, and the Priests, all appear in their appropriate costumes, and very eloquently make the circuit of the orchestra, and enter into the cathedral. No sooner has the last man passed the sacred portal than the scene changes. The earth opens, and swallowing at one mouthful the outer walls of the church, discovers a view of the interior arranged for the final ceremony. Here the procession enters in the same order as it was seen to pass the platform. The King, after subscribing to the usual formalities, is proclaimed King of France. His Majesty, it is to be observed, does not stoop so far as to lay along upon his stomach, as some late accounts represent him to have done at Rheims. This portion of the ceremony at an end, a second proces sion, en retour, takes plaee, and the scene is speedily changed to the gardens of the Tuileries, which, as well as the ancient palace of the Bourbons, is illuminated and decked out in its gayest trim, for the amusement of the faithful inhabitants of his Majesty's most loyal city of Paris. Dancing and singing are the joyous occupations cf the assembled groups; and the whole affair terminates with a grand display of fire-works. Of the scenery, there is a very fair proprotion, new and well executed. The dresses are splendid, and perfectly in character with the scene and the people who form a part in it. The cathedral scene is a very successful effort. The glittering congre42ation of Coronation dresses, and the contrast of the military with the ecclesiastical costume, each equally costly, produce abrilliant ensemble. Upon the whole, the production is very effective as a show, ant/ deserves public support, on account of the heavy expense to which the Managers must have put themselves. There is much good music. The house was crowded in every part, and the curtain descended amidst a tumult of applause. It was some time, indeed, before Field Marshal Farrcn could be heard in announcing the piece for future representation. Charles Kenible played the and "fretted and strut ted his hour upon the stage" whit Monarchical dignity. ARGYLL ROO.IIS. Yesterday evening a concert was given at these rooms for the benefit of Signor I'lacci, at present in a state of tic rangement, in order to enable his friends to convey him back to his native Country. This concert WM announced by Signor Garcia, to whom we are willing to give credit for the charitable motives with which he undertook the task ; but we cannot too lintel) reprobate the injudicious zeal, to say the least of it, which induced hint to nut the namosi of performers, in his advcrti-otnents and bills, who he must have been aware could not have attended. The public were led to expect Mesdames Caradoti and Vestris, along with Velluti ; but neither were there. We do not complain so much of their not having come, but with Signor 1)e Begnis for having misled the unknow ing portion of the public ; for he must have been aware that the first-mentioned performer wns indisposed, and the others linable to attend on various accounts. A new bill was issued just before theconcert began,expressing hissorrow that many of the artists had been unable to attend. When De Begnis first made his appearance, therefore, last night, he was re ceived with some hisses, but which were scon drowned in the applause his exertions seldom fail to produce. Miss E. Pawn sung the duct, " Tell me where is fancy bred ?" with her sister. The opinion we expressed on Thursday last of her powers is not altered. She promises to rival her sister. M. and Mademoiselle Garcia, Madame Castelli, Miss Goodall, Torsi, ltemorini, Curioni, and Begrez con tributed their share to the amusement of the evening, and are too well known to require comment from us. We cannot, however, help mentioning the deserved applause which Messrs. Begrez, De Begnis, and Rernorini re ceived in the trio " Pappatcei." There was no lack of instrumental performers to second the charitable efforts of the vocalists : we need only mention the names of Spagnoletti, Monheles, Kicawetter, and Mori, as evidence of the delights of the evening. Upon the whole, the concert was received with applause, by, we are glad to say, a numerous and fashionable audience, who have thus contributed to relieve misery in the most awful shape with which it can afflict man. Signor Mud has, we be lieve' a large family. DUBLIN TIiEATRE. It having been announced that MissForle was to ap pear yesterday (Thursday) evening, as Letitia Hardy in the Belle's Stratagem, long before the curtain rose the house was filled in every quarter. In the dress circle there were several elegant and fashionable females, and in the upper tier of the boxes there were nearly as many ladies as gentlemen. There were frequent cheers for Miss Foote before the play commenced, and when she appeared tl:e ap plause was loud and long-continued. The whole house rose and cheered the lovely actress with the greatest enthu siasm. When the applause subsided, a few solitary bissas were beard to proceed from one of the sides of the upper gallery ; this circumstance, as mny be supposed, only ren dered the applause more general ani enthusiastic. Miss Foote seemed greatly affected ; she shed tears, and was supported to a chair. The tumult of applause still ecr tinned, and at length, overpowered by her feelings, she µ: ; compelled to retire. Mr. Abbott then came furward an I said, " Ladies and Gentlemen, I confess I did not imagine would be necessary to make an appeal to the well-knoro liberality of an Irish audience, and I am sure that 111 A case like the present, there is no Irishman who would nor be ready to stand forward and support an unprotcetid female." This address (which was evidently occasietwA by a misconception, for, from the commencement, the ar plause, with only one or two exceptions, was general and unanimous) was received with cheers, and the play pro ceeded. Miss Foote gra.'..ially recovered her self-posses sion, and towards the conclusion the played with grcal . spirit. She sang " Where are you going toy pretty maid in a very delightful manner; it was loudly encored. The pas de dear, which she danced with Mr. St. Chit, was !a erated in superior style, and was deservedly applauds.!. Whoa the curtain fell, Mr. Abbott came forward and an nounced, amid general applause, the performance of tt:e school Scandal to-morrow evening, the part of / Teazle by Miss Foote.—Dablin Morning. Regi.skr. Yesterday, at twelve o'clock, a Cabinet Council was held at the Secretary of State's Office for Foreign Affisirs. Downing street.

Westmoreland, and Bathurst, Mr. Secretary Peel, Mr. Secretary Canning, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Vis count Melville, Mr. Wynn, Mr. Huskisson, Lord Bex ley, &c.
