Now. he thought it impolaible that such a ceinniueication couel have 1 been made to airy imlividual , no: previously possessed of lenitive knowledge on the subject, without inch intelligence nuking a strong impression mion them. But what did Mir. Smith do when he feC , i•LII the communicittian of the 17th ? lie tere the letter. (Hear, humr, hear.) No one wile hail net previously known the fact would have thus acted. He slept un the verge of a volcano, and yet the sparks did not awake hint. But did be impute to Mr. Smith either sicktdrices or folly ? No; he imputed to him nothing more than the rksire which was always retest promizent to good natures—the dislike to betray. But this amid mile be applied morally a. it regarded the conduct of Mr. Smith ; it credit rot he allowed to be acted upota in a cantrtonarti;l; there delicacy of teteitie meet tot operate. how ever it might be brought to leer in private.

But in giving int - firma:ion, was it roc wary to bring down punishaneet oil tile heads or individuals who hid hrobidee entrusted him with their setecte. He might have given the infoneation on tee same way Met he hail ein-mil it in his journal; or if he had given nanret, he might ham given them unerr a selonn promise that no metre should be taken against them. But did it never occur to ND. Smith to say to thiwe slut callee upon him to arm, that he would put on apintual armour, and were his country by checking the revolt with those weatione? If he were the man that hat been repremmed, he must have had that influence with the people that would have enabled him to check the mischief that was issuing from all quarters, had he gone forth armed with the pure argumentemf Christianity, and with the zeal and deceits , that was conmicitous in many of the ful. lower of it; but Mr. Smith did not do that. On the Monday he passed the door of the Governor's house. Was it not worth a mo ment's pause for that unfortunate permit to have considered if it would not hove been well for him to have mine in and told the Go vernor of the danger that surrounded him ? Would not this hare been in accordance with his peoftesione of faith and the doctrine he maintained ? He deeply lamented the fate of the individual who had caused so much etscuasion ; hut he did not see that he either deservol tinquelifiedmartyrdem or that tingealiticil censure attached to his Judge..

(Loud cries of •• Question.") Mr. BROUGHAM said, situ Mc support he had rem:veil from all nten of all parties and views, he could see no opposition to his motion; because that motion was founded in truth and justice, and the sheer love of country.

Then the guilt of Mr Smith was all euppostel, and yet this Government el. lowed the sentence to remain unenntelcd. (Hear, hear.) English law is out of the question ; it wituld net be endured.

If Mr. Smith luul interfered, he would have been suspected; and he (Mr. Brougham) was not eared:eel that he re maned quiet.

Tuesday', French Papers, with the Eloile of lirednes day, reached our of:ice by express yesterday. They con tain no political intelligence of any interest. Their columns are occupied principally with the late unexpected changes in the French Ministry, which have created a very strong sensation in Paris. Since Chateauhriand's dismissal the French Ministry have courted popularity, by altogether withdrawing the project of a new law, creating the crime of sacrilege. The law in question had passed the Cham ber of Peers, but was expected to be met with violent opposition in the Clamber of D2puties. The discussion on the Septennial Law closed on Monday ; the Reporter was to reply at the next sitting. No successor to the dig . carded Minister has yet been named. The Duke de Cazcs was still confidently spoken of, and his influence would be I a great accession to the Ministry ; but it is a question ' whether he would play a second part to the Count de Villele. If a union could be elfectid, no Ministry of higher talent or character could be selected for France. The Qu(didienne and the dement!! des Debuts hare each their separate statements:and aservations on the fall of the Foreign Minister. The Quaidiinne Lives the follow ing statement of his dismissal On Sunday wonting, the Minister for Foreign Affairs (Viscount Chasclubriand) was going to the Castle of the Tuileries, when he was ii.fsamed that en important packet was lying tor hhn at his hotel, in the nvecs of the Capucines. Ile immediately went back, and found the following letter from the President of the Council s- 6 Monsieur le Vicomte, I obey the King's ordsrs, and transmit to you the end •sal ordonnance.' An hour afterwards, M. tie Chateaubriand quitted the Ifottl of Foreign lirlatiors, and retired to the lodgings which he had oc.supied in the street of St. Dominick, previously to being appointed a Minister, haring sent to M. Villele the following note, written in the same laconic style as that which he had received Monsieur le Comte, I have quitted the Hotel of Foreign Altars: the deparunent is at your command.' " The Journal des Debate observes upon Chateaubriand's retirement as follows: •' This is the second time that 31. de Chateaubriand has ex perienced a solemn dismissal. Ile was displaced in 1318, u Mi nister of State, for having attacked, in his immortal work of Mo. warchy aceordiv In the Charte., the famous ordinance of the sth of September, which declared the dissolution of the Chamber of 1313. Messrs. de Viliele and Corbiere were then simple Deputies, Chiefs of the Royalist Opposition t and it was because he under. took their defence that he became the victim of Ministerial wrath. In 1834, M. de Chatesubriand is again displaced, and it is by Blum. de Villek and Corbin'', who have become Ministers, that he has been sacrideed. What a singular fate ! In 1016 he was punished for his having spoken out. In 1824 he is punished be. muse he held his tongue. His crime is, chat he remained silent during the discussion on the lay for the reduction of the crooks. All diagram are not misfortunes. Public opinion, the supreme judge in such cues, will teach in what class we am to place that of M. deChateitubriand. It AI wormier thew us, to what party the , ordinance of tacky will be moot lota—whether to the i oror or the vanquished." German papers, and amongst them the Allgemeirie Zeihing of the sd of June, reached our office yesterday. This intelligent journal contains some further authen ticated details respecting the alleged conspiracy, by Joseph Von Horn, against William the Second of Ilease Cassel, on which Von Manger, the Inspector of Police, has b een arres t e d and cuoveyed to a fortress. These de tails will be found in the extracts we give from this paper. Accounts from Constantinople to the loth of May state, that the evacuation of the principalities was positively de termined on by the Turkish Ministry, and an assurance given to Lord Strangford to that eifeez. The Noble Lord, it is added, immediately sent a courier with the important intelligence to his Court. The Capitan Paella having passed the Dardanelles, his substquent proceedings were looked fur with great anxiety. A report from the Morca was in circulation that Colecotroni and his adherents had effected a reconciliatio3 with the Greek Gaveinment. The Turkish capital, it is added, was tranquil. The union of the Greeks must be decisive of their success. The Otto man relied on the succours from Egypt to support the pre 'cut campaign, and these have failed altogether. dILDRNEEEID (IN THE KINGDOM OF HANOVER.) Onr GassSic contains, in No. 31, the foUowing article:—" In reply to the twinge article which the Cassel Gazelle has inscrtel relative to the work just published at Ilmenan :" The Conspiracy against William 11., of liesse Cassel, &c., by Joseph Von Horn, we observe, I. The work is derived from the most authentic sources, which is at once evident, as the author, in wake 23, demonstrates by docuousta the Inemeactnese of an official ankle relative to the con. spiracy, insured in the Cased Cazdeeily eti officer of the Police, in 1823; and in another place has blamed important faults com mitted by the chief of of Pollee, in the COWINe of the inquiry. These passages of the work have undoubtedly given occasion to the abovementioned article in the Cased Go rale, respecting which Mr. Von Horn has already brought a complaint, and required the punishment of the author (who has already been arrested, before the complaint is decided upon). 2. The printed sheets of the work were sent before publication to the Censors in several countries, including Hesse Cassel, and some of them laid before the Elector himself, who, in a note dated 23d November 1823, caused it to be signified to M. V. Horn that he was highly satisfied with the sentiments he expressed, andswould not fail to acknowledge by deeds his sense of the value of M. Von Horn's exertions, if he should succeed in detecting the author of the threatening letters. 3. The author bas *addled this wish by his present work, which is written with evident ease, circumspection, and impartiality, and has consequently caused a sensation not common in German litera ture. 4. The author's pen has always been dedicated to the interest of Princes. Such is his work on the Orderof the Guelphs, published last year, and such is the present. The author's exertions have been recompensed by presents from different Princes. The work before us, which in tact owes its origin to the eurourngement given by the Elector in his note, is the fruit of a laborious historical, po litical, and juridical investigation, which enabled ao for to describe the couspiratoes, that them can be no difficulty in fully detecting them CONATAVTINOTI.E, MAT 10. Since the last posethseeicuatios of Moldavia and Wallachia is positively determined upon. and an assurance given to Lord Smang ford that it will be speedily effected. He immediately sent a cou • rise with this news to his Court. The Capitan l'acha having passed the Dardanelles. we look for the account of his subsequent proc.A. in gs. A report (from the Morea) has been for lime dans in circu lation. that Colorottuni and his adherents have made their reconci liation with the Greek Government. Perfect tranquillity prevails in this city. ViEuxa, MAT 29.--Metalliques, 96 7-16 ; Bank Shares, I 1 , 157 Zeitwng, Jane 3. The Doke of York visited the King yesterday. On Thursday the Duchess of Clarence dined with the Duchess of Kent, at her apartments at the King's Palace, Kensington. In the evening the Royal I)ueluss, accompa nied by the Prince of Leiningen and Princes!, Feodore, hor.oured Covent-Garden Theatre with her presene... Yesterday morning at nine o'clock the Duchess of Cla rence left her residence in the Stable Yard, St. James's, and proceeded to Kensington, *hoe her Royal ir hness was joined by the Ouches of Kent. and from thence pro ceeded to Claremont, on a visit to Prince Leopold. It is said among-the hfirt to* that th e Hon. Colonel henry Lygon will very shortly lead to the hymeneal altar the amiable Lady Susan Eliot, ceond daughter of the Earl and Countess St. Germaine. In consequence of a told caught at Epsom ram, Mr., ?Aercandotti Ball has been dangerously indisposed with !inflammatory sore throat; but, we understand, that she is now considered, by her medical attendants, out of danger. In several of the festivals which are announced for this' year, though headed by names of patrons and committees of charities, Madam? Catalani is understood to have the principal management, and a material or principal share of the profits. We understand she refused to sing at the Norwich Festival, unless a sha: e of the char receipts were allowed her ; and that her answer to the IVakefield over tures was a demand to manage the whole, and to take the proceeds, giving ten pc:- cent. to the charities.—Wakyield Junrnal. It has been rumoured that Lord Combermcre is to pro ceed to India. as Commander of the Forces in that country, and that Sir Thomas Hislop is to succeed to the command here.—Duldia Paprr. A report prevailed in the City yesterday, that Lord Cochrane has sailed to assist the Chiliens, hut it is mote likely he is gone after the Spanish ship Asia, of 64 guns, lately arrived in that quarter. It is remarkable, that about three weeks before the de parture of Iturbide, a deputation of three priests from Mexico arrived in this country with despatches from the leading persons of their profession. The arrival of these men is supposed to have greatly hastened the projects of the Ex-Emperor. Yesterday the dispatches for Bengal, by the chartered ship Claudine, were closed at the East India House and delivered to the master of that ship. PRUSSIAN LOAN OF Ithe2, WICDOCI AT ED DY Ma. N. M. ROTHSCHILD, IN LO N PON.—The half-yearly divi dend on the above Loan. which becomes due on Thursday, the Ist of July next, will be paid by Mr. N. M. Rothschild, on that and every sum. eding day (Sundays excepted), be tween the hours of ten and two. The dividend warrants, with a list thereof in numer7cal order, must be left one day previous for examination. Charleston Papers to the 6th of May contain a letter from the Havannah of the c?Sth of April, which states that the thraertians of Spanish soldiers from that garrison had become au num - rous as to induce the Governor, Genc ral Vives, to issue an order prohibiting the Captains of merchant vessels from takiter, passengers who had not been duly examined by the local authoritiea.

The visitors at this delightful scene of fashionable bustle and amusement last night were both numerous and itclect ; and it were saying but little to observe, that the entertain , menus, and the Iscilities to a full enjoyment of them, arc much improved by several judicious alterations. The halla can scarcely be recognized as that which belonged to Vauxhall, yet there were few who complained last season. The corps de ballet is superior, and exhibits none of that occasional confusion which indicated that last year was its first season. The comic sketch called the Chinese Ircaing is hif,hly characteristic end amusing; it is per formed by several excellent dancers. Mr. Grey has made some curious additions to his Ftstitorrini, which now ex hibit on a stage in the open air, the rising ground in front of which enables a very large company to see without in convenience. Although we have bidden "a long and last adieu" to all the vagaries of Tom Thumb and The Little Glass Miller, we occasionally caught ourselves indulging our risible muscles at these parts of the evening's entertain ments. The Orchestra was better supported than usual, and the fire-works were as brilliant and varied as ever. There arc' . some old favourites among the scums, &c., which are ap plauded from mere recollection of their having pleased last season: these we should recommend to be omitted. It is not the genuine applause of a majority which they receive, and the few boisterous "every-day folks," who cry (new e, turn upon their heels directly they have succeeded in their object. Many of the songs arc exceedinglv pretty, but we think that the order of the Concert shoubl be announced as heretofore ; and were the military band to select more native music for the first hour of their performatee, they might afterwards do as they pleased. 8.4T.11 THEATIIIe.4LS. TO TIIE EDITOR OF THE 11111TISII PRESS. Jrxr. 11,1824. SIR.—In your columrs of yesterday, an allusion was made (by a Cerrespondent front Bath) to the name of that deserving author, Mr. Pennic; which, if permittAl to pass . without coats ment, might be interpreted into a sarcasm, prejudicial to his poetical character. After reporting the failure of a tragedy upon the Bath stage by . two win. , ladies, your Conespomlent adds, that llr. Pennte, alarmed at the conleut reception of the Parricide, had withdrawn Ws tragedy until next season.' Now, the fact is, he never felt nor expressed triy such alarm. That the Bath audience greeted the Parricide with uproarious mirth, I readily admit; but I will not libel their taste and judgment so greatly, as to suppose they . would have levelled the same ridicule and derision at a production of real talent; besides, there is no analogy between the sit:ad/on of the two pieces. The Parricar was merely foisted upon puhlic notie.i through the irresponsible medium of a benefit night; whereas, the Rheiumifof Mr. Pennie has been regularly accepted by the proprietor of the theatre, and is postponed solely at his recommendation, in order that more ample justice may be rendered to its production, in new scenery, bc. I request of your liberality a speedy Mention of this ?ban I statement of facts. A FRIEND TO MERLIN MR.

As soon as he had delivered the box, the negro retired with great precipitation. Mr. Lynn plans.( it under his bed : but a singular glimmering appearing in the room, he pluceeded to examine the box, which he found to contain six or eight /wands of gunpowder, in a small keg, and two candles, which were bnrninx very low. In a few minutes an explosion would have taLn place. and Mr. Lyon might hare been blown to ateing.
