Correspondent, received this mo:ninQ :— •• PAWL, AVOCIT I. " The aspect of affairs is imprcviug. The funds are upon the rise, and the settling day has passed over without a cloud. VtLer.sx is firm in his seat; he it in no danger of being displaced ; he is the favourite, too, of sllonsLur, which gives his authority a post obit. Ile is expected to make another effort to carry his favourite measure, the reduction of the restea, and his Laccess is more than probable. England has furnished the precedent, and there seems no valid reasan why France should not follow it: those who opposed it were suspected, and, I believe, with good grounds, of jo!biog in the funds, and to have hid, on this account, a deep stake in throwing out the pro .',ect. The mask:rot:l of the miner Sorerrigns at Johannis here was a Congress to which no importance is attached ; it decided on the flavour of Prince METTERNICH'S Mint' (the growth of the estate), and adjusted other matters of equal, but none of mire importance. Lord Ilitasoway hr: met with the most flattering reception from his Majesty, which betokens the continuance of a good understandiv between the two Cabinets. In fact, the prospect of affairs i; in every way gratifying. The Chambers are expected to Llose on Thursday. We have received Hamburgh mails, which givens news from Hanover of the 28th ult., from which it appears offi cially, that the long talked of inkution of England, of sending troops from tlTence to Portugal, is entirely an a•samption without foundation. The following are ex tratus— Il.txorea, JULY 23.

When we yesterday stated that the ruin of our Wvst I India colonies was going on as well as their enemies could wish, we thought it not unlikely that we might hear, from time to time, of fresh revolts among the slaves in the dif ferent islands, but we had uo conception that we should hsve proof in a few hours that revolt was not partial, but general throughout our settletnents in these quarters. It will be seen in another part of our paper, that a con spiracy has been providentially discovered in Jamaica, and earnest as every hope must be that the mischief will pro ceed no further, there is yet great ground of alarm ; for the seeds of sedition have been so thickly sown, that at this moment no European in the West Indies can lay his head on his pillow in the certainty that his throat will not be cut before morning. We hope that the abolitionists are now satisflai. The Morekg Herall quotes the following from the Dmlplin Star : _ . "A poor humble man, named Halloran, residing near Lough. sea, in the neighbourhood of Kilcrist, being in a state of lunacy, his relatives were persuaded by their confessor that be was pos sessed of a devil. In such an exigency no time was to be lust; and as the Holy Father who had made the discovery was a cele brated exorcist, he was immediately employed to dispossess the demoniac of his troublesome spiritual tenant. Having, therefore, procured a sufficient quantity of strong spirits for the occasion, hi:' Reverence commenced his exorcisms by taking a potion, to pre pare him the better for the spiritual warfare in which he was :thou: to engage. The demoniac was then stretched on a bed, in the p-c.. senee of his mother and several spectators, who insisted in the operation. After opening his mouth by means of a gng, the exor cist forced a large spoon down the unfortunate man's throat, for time purpose of bringing . up, as he said, the demon ; but, instead of bringing out a spirit, he pulled the tongue out of the lunatic's mouth, In consequence of which he Panned shortly after ! ! Why was this horrible transaction passed over without inves. tigetion ? Why was there nut an inquest held on the body ? Per haps it may be said the fdfleiatine priest was insane. To this I answer in the negative ; for after undergoing the trifling puidsh ment of three mon th s suspension from his duty, to which he was sentenced by his superiors, he was restored to his clerical situation. and is now invested with full authority to perform all his spiritual :unctions. PHILALETHES. • letughree, July 14. - - Now this is obviously a fabrication, for one of two things must have taken place; either the tongue must have been cnt out by the roots by means of the sharp edges of the spoon, or it must have been torn out by the roots by the force applied. Nov if the correspondent of the Dublin Star can produce a spoon, silver, pewter, or horn, that will cut through a beef steak, he may then draw upon our credulity with some hope that we may honour his draft. As to pulling the tongue out by the roots, any man at all acquainted with the animal economy knows that such a feat is out of the question. The muscular fibre, when called into action, is the most powerful in proportion to its thickness of any known in nature. We have seen, and every one that has attended an hospital can attest, that when a joint is dislocated a force of ten times, at least, the power of the patient is often employed in vain to reduce it. The whole statement then must be looked upon us tale invented to bring contempt on the Catholic clergy of Ire land, and to swell the cry against that body, raised by the ravings of the unfortunate maniac who some time ago killed a man in the delusion that he was possessed. Is the editor of the DI:BLIN STAR, we would ask, pre pared to vouch for the veracity of his Correspondent PIIILA• LE r tiLS. Ile ought to be sufficiently enured, ex-qfficiu, to " the busy bum of tnen " to make his paper the vehicle of such a base and barefaced fabrication. This " poor hum ble man, named Ilalloran," is stated to be " residing near Loughrca." We would su g gest to hint to inquire " lune near," as there could have been no difficulty in fixing the' precise place, in which this marvellous affair took place, more especially if the patient was a lunatic, as a person of this dangerous description must be pretty well known in his neighbourhood. Ilia relatives, moreover, must have been at least as mad as himelf, to suffer themselves to be persuaded by ti.. it conkuur, that their brother or cousin, or in whatever class of consanguity he stood, was" possessed of a Devil." " Perhaps," says the relator, "it may be said, the officiating priest was insane." If, peradventure, he bad given us tbe name of this efficiating priest, it might have assisted our inquiries on this head ! If, asks here stated, he was " u celebrated exorcist," this might easily have been done, had there been a syllable of truth in the statement. But PUILALLTIILS proceeds to ask very gravely, " Why was this horrible transaction passed over without inves tigation? Why was not an inquest held on the body ?" We will tell him why not: because there was no such transactbne to investigate, and because there was no body upon which to call an inquest. When 'l'ilburina, in the CRITIC, describes " the Pope-consecrated fleet of Spain " as advancing to our shores, and is running on with— ' I see—l see—what soon you'll see—" the father, the worthy Governor, very discreetly throws in ti doubt both as to her sight and her sanity— Gov—Hold, daughter! Pace! This love hath tuned thy brain ; The Spanish fleet thou eau'st not see—because 11 is sot yet is sight ! W., would recommend this solution of the difficulty to Philalt.thes and the Dublin Editor. They are neither cre dulous enough themselves to be imposed upon by such a fa brication, and they are therefore the more culpable in at tempting to impose it on the public. Yesterday morning the Duchess of Kent, accompanied by the Princesses Vittoria and Feodor, attended by Capt. Conroy and other attendants, left town for Ilamsgate.

We learn from a Pans corrrespondent (says an Evening Paper) some very curious particulars illustrative of the dawning character of the probable future inheritor of the French Crown—the young Duke of Bourdeaux. To use ' what may be denominated the slang of the French Court language, the child already possesses a noble . flert,:, and is fully embued with an idea of his own immense cense- quence. It would be illiberal to impute to the instructors of this royal scion exclusively the employment of a system of education which never made an able Monarch since' the world began, because it is to be feared that the French people themselves do much to snake either mere fa/scans or overbearing debauchers and puppies of their Princes. The introduction of them, while quite infants, into all sons of pageantry, coupled even with the farce of formal addresses on the part of grave citizens and learned bodies, must neet:Aarily make them either weak pliable instru ments in priestly or other hands, like the infant Lamas of Tartary ; or, if of a more lively temperament, trans form the exuberance of youthful animal spirit into in- I solenee and encroachment. Our Correspondent informs us I that this princely hope of France, or rati . ..sr of the f House of Bourbon, is already insupportably haughty, and acts the future Louis XIX. with ludicrous gravity. The genuine spring of youthful mind is, in fact, utterly impeded by a routine of the most imposing etiquette, the chief tendency of which, however, is to impose upon the poor hoy himself, who is thus formally misled into a false estimate of himself and every thing around As he proceeds from one apartment to another, it seems that he is preceded and followed by two armed pages or attendants, who loudly exclaim as the door opens, " Mon seigneur le Due de Bounleaux," which announcement is re-echoed from room to room as the child passes, who assumes the measured step and solemn demeanour of a Mo narch of Brentford, as he thus makes his way to the apart ments of his mother. A finer recipe for making " a king of shreds and patches"—a solemn nothing, all canopy and elbow chair—can scarcely be imagined ; and, what is worse, the creation of a mere empty and inflatedpageant forms the beat part of the result ; for if, as before ob served, he is constitutionally too mercurial for the fore going consummation, the next probability is that he will sink into a mere wallowing sensualist, like Louis the fifteenth, or a headstrong impoverisher of his people by selfish ambition and unnecessary war. In fact, some shade or other of these various charac teristics seems to belong to the occupiers of the French throne from time immemorial. The melancholy au tomatons, like Louis XIII. and XVI.; the man of in supportable pomp, pageantry, and ambition, like Louis XIV.: and the incurah!e rakes and sensualists re sembling the Regent and Louis XV. ; such appear to be the varieties; end a peep into the intermediate pro ' dnetions, which, in long reigns, died Dauphins and Royal Dukes, only seems to conenn the observation. It might be imagined that, under a new Constitution, and in con formity with the clearer ideas of the times, a Duke of Bourtleaux, at the present moment, would be taken out of this routine, and educated more on the Fenelon plan ; i.ut, in the usual spirit of restorations, see should not wonder if a double course of etiquette and Queen Bee royal mental feeding was resolved upon ; and who can complain if the process produce Fertlinantls of Spain, Migucls of Portugal, or Sovereigns like most of those to whom we have alluded ? AFFAIRS OF HONOUP. Yesterday morning a meeting took place within about a quarter of a mile of Kensington. The principals were Major C—, formerly of the 17th light dragoons, and a French gentleman, named Froissart ; the former was at tended by Captain F—, the latter by F. s—, Esq. An ineffectual attempt was made by Cieir respective friends to bring about an amicable conclusion, but the deter mined hostility of the Frenchman bore down all argument, and the pistols were delivered accordingly ; the first tire, which was by signal, proved bartnless,bia the second brought ' M. Froissart to thecarth, badly wounded in the abdomen. A surgeon was on the ground, and attempted to extract the ball, but without effect, as the unfortunate gentleman bled profusely, and seemed in great torture; being placed in a coach, he was brought on to the White Hart, Ken sington, where the wound was dressed, and restoratives being administered, it was judged expedient to continue the journey to town. The Major and his friend remained with him the entire time, and M. Froissart expressed, in unequivocal terms, a sense of his own impropnety, in re sisting an honourable accommodation, and also admitted that the business was conducted in an impartial and g..utle man-like manner; at the same time repeatedly exchanging forgiveness with his antagonist. Ilis r,:.covery is considered as very precarious, fever bring likely to follow, from the irritation of the wound. We could barn, that the quarrel took place at Rouen, from whence M. Froissart followed the Major, who knew not of his design until 'fleeting in London. Anothtv duel took place on Monday morning on Clap ham Common, between Lieutenant Williams and Mr. Gill. The quarrel arose at billiards. The partita met, and fired by signal, when Lieutenant Williams received Mr. Gill's shot in the right shoulder. The party was con veyed off the ground in a hackney-coach, and we have since heard is out of danger—the ball having been ex tracted. It is rumoured that the followit ' r arrangements are on the eve of taking place in the Frtmeltllinistry :—M. Cler mont Tonnerre, Minister of Marine, to succeed M. do Chateaubriand, as Minister of Foreign Affairs; the Duke de Doutleauville, transferred front the Management of the Posts to the Ministry of :Marine; M. de Rochefoucauld to succeed the Duke do Doutleauville in the department of the Post Office. Manstacr is Hmit Ltvc.—On Titexclav, the 3.1 inst. at S. George's Church, Hanover-square, Sir Wm. Chatter ton, of Castle Mahon, in tae county of Cork, Bart., to Georgina Ilenrittta Maria, daughter of the Rev. Lascelles Ir o monger, Prebendary of Winchester. Amongst the latest arrivals at Cheltenham are, the Duke of Rutland, the l'arl of Lisburne, Lord Holland, Lord Vaughan, and Lady Alvanlcy. ;On Sunday Lord Cliftlen arrived at Gowan Castle from England, and on slonday the lion. G. A. Ellis and his Lady arrived at the came place. We understand this patriotic and highly gifted young gentleman is determined to establish some means of employment for the poor on his noble father's estate. before he leaves our neighbourhood. We would recommend cotton-spinning and the calico ma nufacture as preferable to the coarse linen trade, on a I variety of accounts. We also trust he will employ proper persons to explore and work the coal and cubit beds re cently discovered on the Gowran estate, a measure that would essentially benefit the whole population of that side of the country.—Kilkenny Paper.

It is moat extensive. It commenced on the borders of St. JATIVSN. and n train of commu nication has been traced clown to the (keen Island. " Tlie Argyle negroes were to commence by murdering Malcolm, their master, and afterwar.ls all the white people; to proceed in burning every thing that would burn, and to continue thtir pro ceedings from one estate to another. On 3londay, in the decd of the night, two trash houses were burnt in the ground on Alexnne6 ix estate, one of 111.41,iohn's properties. The military are out. A re quisition from the St. James's :Magistrates to Colonel Moffatt at Falmouth, for 50 men, to be sent from Maroon Town here (for nut one soldier bare we, though excellent new barracks), has been re fused to be complied with.

In addition to the &bore, we learn that his Excellency Sir John Keane, K.C.B. the Commander of the Forces, had sent oEinrtruc dons for the troop; to be placed under the onleat of the magistracy of the parish of Hanover. A Privy Council was summoned by his Grace the Puke of Manchesier, to meet on Thunday the 17:11 of June, the day the mail was closed. The following are extracts from the Jamaica Papers:— (From the Jarrui,-a Coatrabt of the 1:1:h Jure.] We were on IVOtiesday in possession of very unplea sant tidings that have transpired, regarding the proceedings of the slaves on Argyle Estate in Hanover. We were yesterday put in possession of the following account : An old woman, attached to Argyle Estate, informed Mr. Malcolm that the slaves on the property intended to set file to the trash house. The Maroons were suspected of being concerned, but had not openly joined. A notice of this alarming circumstance had been despatched to his Grace, who on Wednesday sent his Mi:i:ary Secretary over to the Commander-in-Chief with the intelligence. We are informed his Excellency has taken measures to rein force the militia in this disturbed quarter. Two companies of the Hanoverian Regiment had macched. Since writing the &Wye, we have been permitted the perusal of those letters from the parish of Hanover, which we are inclined to believe, state, that tlec slaves on Argyle Estate, having been promised Saturday for them selves, resisted working on that day when called out, on which the overseers punished a few refractory. A general discontent was the consequence, and, after firing the trash house of a neighbouring estate, they absconded into the woods : many have since returned, and the whole was ex pected to follow, when tranquility was shortly expected. We have heard that the Huran frigate was to be held in readiness to tyke troops en board, in the event of the ebul lition assuming a decided character. We earnestly hope our next report will bring die news of the negroes having resumed their wonted alacrity and subordination. KINGSTON. JVNE 17. IMPORTANT.—(CommuxteATEmi Intelligence of the nature we are about to communicate, should always be published with the greatest precaution ; how fcr it may he true we know not, but we sincerely hope there may be no foundation for the alarm ; we, however, think it oar duty to lay the facts before our readers as we received Clem. _ _ _ An express arrived at the Kinws house in Spanish Town yesterday morning about to o'clock, brought by a trooper from Hanover, the object of which was to acquaint the Executive that the negr, oa 0:1 Argyle Estate, in that parish, had r:helled and attempted to murder the overseer, he with great difficulty escaping. The miiitia of that parish, we understand, has been calkd cut and are now under arms. An express was sent from the Executive at two o'clock, yesterday, to Sir John Keane, Major-General Commanding, and the trooper who had brought the intelligence, was, at the time our informant left Spanish Town, (five p.m.) waiting the return of the General's answer. We arc very sorry, sorry indeed to add, that the Accoinpong Town Ma roons have been implicated in the conspiracy on the oath of a free black man. JUNE D. We understand that the garg, of negroes who preferred a complaint beihre the sitting Magistrates of this city, fur misusage on the part of the owner, was on Tuesday sent off to Spanish Town, under charge of one of the city ;,hard. On reaching the outskirts of the city, with one accord they all rat down, and declared they would net have Kingston; in this dilemma two slaves of this city came forward, and attetupted to rescue the party from th 2 consta'ile in charge, who immediately retreated throu g h the streets to the guard-house, and on r:pre.enti• r ; the obstruction he had met with, an order was given to led;: the two slaves who had interposed in the cage, which was carried into effect. Yesterday the refractory gang was placed in a waggon, under charge of a strong party, and again despatched to Spanish Town. JUNE 17. We are informed, that when the Du!;c of York I,ft Tri nidad, the landed propriemrs had assembled in Port of Spain, and were anxiously waiting to hear the Oiler in Council promulgated by beat of them. The town was crowded, and the inhabitants in a sistc of most gloomy discontent, tad fearful forelxidii,g. We understand there was a unanimous and rtsolute determination to disobey certain clauses of the Older in ro:!ncii, whic:i, if carried into effect, Must lie ruinous to th,! colony ; aiid one of which, as 'Mr. Burnley vary juctly remit-:01 on a former occasion, would virtually aboliih r!: very !
