We have received from a Correspondent at Paris, who, we know, bad every opportunity to be acquainted with the fac:s he relates, the following particulars of the condition of Lucia XVIII. during his last illness and after his decease : t is not known whether any account of the state of Louse XN'l I I. in his lest momenta will be made public, and the utmost precaution Fs taken to prevent any information from being given through the see hum of the daily press. The following details may be relied upon :_-Four of Ida tons had fallen of from mortification, the lint more than eleven months ago, from which you may form an idea of the sufferings 1:e must have experienced. Ills legs were su;te black at the extremity, and his beds were completely wanted away. Les parties genitake ifsierst preppie sulks. The upper pans of the body were ins healthy state, :thoubh the arms were much fallen Tway; the skull was in some parts quite thin, and in others of a remarkable thickness. It appears that towers!. the Litter t Jays of the Ring be slept much, and often let bit head fall upon the table whicit was before him. la this peskier% theirbellakil4 of his head was supperted by the nose. This posture had ma. sinned a sort of ulceration, which was not mentioned in the proms cwdavre exhalait sae :ramie i•ftcaos, but which was entirely dispersed by the application of the oxide of soda, which clime enabled the body to be exhibited to the public, in compliance wt...., the ancient custom in Francs on the death of their Kings. An absurd rumour was circulated on 'Change yesterday, that SANTANA hail abandoned the Patriot cause, and -united himself to that of FL not NAND. This rumour, we ray, is absurd, because its only foundation is a paragraph in a New York paper, copied from another published in That an express arrived yesterday from Liver .. New York paper, vve are aware; but, if we moment into the natore of the intelligence, and • very circuitous route by which it has reached at once perceive that the chances against arc very great indeed, as it is highly particularly as the document on which it was - not even pretend to have a date, that we possession information to a much more r a more direct line of communication. that at the present moment of calm jobbers in the funds are glad to embrace ty by which they can cause the slightest if the public securities were left to their advance, without any serious change, their would be gone. However this may be, the effect, for the Mexican funds fell n:arly the course of an hour. For ourselves, we . the report, but look upon it as a r use, a!- which was successfully practised last week as fleet, of Lord knows how many sail, that was seen in the South Atlant:e, threatening with destruc tion all the South American ltimblics, though, by some unfortunate chance, no one could ever discover from what port iu France these scowls sailed. list , said French fleet is no other, u we believe, than the Asia, and certain other old Spanish men of war, which were fitted out by the pro ceeds of a loan, raised, as we have understood, in 'Paris, about the time of Ivenatus's evasion from England, which loan, there has been some suspicion, either has been, or Is about to be, in some shape, brought into the London market. We learn, by the arrival of a gentleman from York, Upper Canada, that the first fourth of the sum of 12:0.000/.. procured by Mr. GALT for the sufferers in that province during the late war with the Americana, has been paid. We congratulate both the Government and the people of Canada on this earnest of a highly praiseworthy munifi cence. No people on earth ever suffered greater privations and hardships, without a murmur, in defence of their country, than the inhabitants of Upper Canada; and when we consider that the war was waged to support a general principle, in tl.e decision of which they had no immediate interest, and that to their share fell all the mis chiefs and evils of the contest, we arc convinced that there is no cpe who will not approve of the conduct of his MAlisrv's Government, in making good to them at least some portion of the losses they have incurred. Accounts in the American papers, speak or the co►ti. nuance of the yellow fever at Charleston and New Orleans. Letters of the 26th ult. were yesterday received from Constantinople. They mention the deposition of the Aga of the Janissaries, as stated in the foreign journals, but contain no confirmation of the accounts from Setnlin of the Greek Patriarch and his Synod having been put to death. The following is an extract of a letter from the agents to Lloyd's at Constantinople, dated :tug. Q6:—" Ity an ex lress from the Dardanelles, of the 24th, ; just r!ceired, we earn the arrival there of his Alajesty s ship Medina, with William Turner, Esep,the Szcretary of this Embassy, n board." Extract of a letter from the agents to Lloyd's at Smyrna, dated the 17th of August:—" There are many rumours of hostile movements against Samos. to which we do not at tach any credit, but the Cation Paella appears to be in the vicinity of the island, and making preparations for the at tack." Accounts from Alexandria, to the beginning of July, state that trade W.lll exceFsively dull there, owing to the numbers of the military, who thronged the city, and greatly impede.' business. Ibrahim Paths was residing at Alexan dria at that time, but observed a strict incognito. The war with the Gretlja was by no means popular in Egypt. Some reports of a new irruption of the Wechabites were CUM n t. Extract of a letter from Trieste, dated the 14th inst.:— " According to advice' from Zante, received by way of Venice, the Egyptian fleet arrived safely in the Morea, where the troops were landed without opposition. We shall now ace what they will he able to do. They write, that the funds provided by the loan made in London were be ginning to arrive, and that they had raised dissensions amongst the heads of the Provisional Government of Greece, every one of them wishing (fur the good of the country) to put the money into his own pocket; not trust ing to his neighbour. We are assured that the inhabitants of the province called Braceio di Maina have rebelled against the Grecian Chiefs, and espoused the cause of the Turks, in consequence of the refusal to allow them to have a share in the money arrived from England, and also on account of the lauding of the Egyptian troops. The result of the expedition against Saint's is not yet known, but the silence of the Greeks here, makes us fear that the Capitsn Pasha has succeeded in his attempts against that island. All this may serve to amuse the curious, but you must not consider it official information. A short time will make everything clear." The following is an cxtract of a letter from a gentleman in C'artitagtna. to his correspondent in the city, dated July SI :—" We had yesterday an arrival from Bogota, bringing accounts from Pent, that a large part orthe Spanish force had come over to Bolivar, and that he ex pect. d soon to terminate the net by liberating the whole Continent. They have had a hard struggle for the cause of independence. The Colombian Government was re ("need to great poverty until a part of the ioau arrived from London.' An Imperial Ukase has been issued at Warsaw, by I which Jews, who have hitherto inhabited the principal streets of that city, are commanded to remove by the Ist May, 15123 into the most remote streets, which ate assigned them. This ordonnance will be enforced when the time expires, witbcut any exception whatever. An extraordinary deputation of the Canton of the Pri sons in Switzerland. is to go to %Ism as soon as the Em tilrof Austria shall arrive there, in order to ce2icit of mperial Majesty the final adjustment of various points in dispute between the Canton and the Kingdom of Lom bardy. A law has been promulgated in Norway, consisting of numerous snicks, fixing with great precision the limits be tween the civil and military jurisdiction. ' Faom GIDRALT AL—By the brig Minerva, arrived here from Gibraltar, which port she left on the 2211 July. we learn that two Spanish merchant ships had arrivtA there front Havanna, after an engagement with a Buenos Ayrean privateer, which they beat off with little damage. It was believed by intelligent persons at Gibraltar, that Spain was on the eve of another revo l ution.—New York Evening Post. Our I apers are full of accounts of the damage done by a dr:at:lel storm of thunder and lightning, which passed covet , the provinces of North Holland, Z-aland, Friesland, Groningen, Drenthe, eec., along the frontiers of Munster, alnl which contiiined, without intermi.wion, from nine in the evening of the 15111, till nine the following morning. Several faun-houses were struck by the lightning sml burnt, and numbers of cattle killed in the 11.:Ids.—Duida Paper. Tor NOlLTUrliff linctrairtox.--His Alajcsty's sur veying vessel Snap arrived at St. John's, Newfoundhmit, on the inth ult., last from Hudson's Straits. where she left the Griper with the Arctic Land Expedition, which was prevented by the ice from proceeding further than Cape .;ell'ey. The site of the first fort erected in Maryland by the colonists brought out by Lord Baltimore, in 1632, has long been want away, and covered by the water. Four of the cannon, however, that were mounted upon it, have been found beneath the waters, embedded in mud, and taken up. Two of them appear to have been partially burst, pro bably in self-defence a s zainst the Indians. From one a ball was extracted weighing eight pounds, another was loaded with chain shot. The three largest were 10 feet long, and the fourth six. On the tne which was least sur rounded with mud, a by-stander counted 602 oysters.— Am, rico,' raper. St t.a TH A DE.—The riband manufacture in Coventry and neighbourhood, is in a more flourishing state at the present season than has ever been retnetnbo ell ; an adequate supply for the demand cannel be produc-d, which has caused a general advance in wages throughout the trade, and a trifling one also in manufactured stock ; but as silks have risen very considerably in price, with an expectation of an additional advance, in consequence of the unprecedented consumption leaving the market unusually hare, a plopor tianate rise is now taking place. From the very general and eratiling improvement everywhere visible in com mercial affairs, we sincerely hope this city will not for a long time have to complain of any depression either in the riband or watch departments; the latter of which, we arc also happy to find, is in a flourishing condition, and that ways have in consequence advanced cuusiderahly.—Cortn try Herald.

Mr. Canning was expected to arrive last night at Glou cester Ledge, from lit.iyhead. We understand that it was intended by the Canning Club of Liverpool to have given a public dinner to the Right lion. Gentleman, from whom the Club derives its name, on his return home through that prosperous town, towards which it is known the Right lion. Gentleman en tertains the kindliest feelings.

The present King of France and the Duke of Bourbon had a meeting, and fought in the Bois de Boulogne, a few years before the Revolution. The Duke of Bourbon was the challenger: his Duchess having complained to him of being insulted by the Count d'Artois, who forced off her mask, either through ignorance of her person, or mere le vity, at a Court hall. The Count d'Artois behaved with gallantry, both in the field and to the lady. The duel over, he apolug,ised to lite for his conduct. We hear that the Princess of Coburg is gone to Gotha with M.

The situation of the intended monument is peculiarly adapted for the purpose, and will be seen at a great distance. —File Herahl. John Leslie Foster, Esq.

On ‘Vednesday last (the 2241 inst.) the Corporation of Tomes unanimously elected Wm. Doidge Taunton, Esq. to be Mayor of that ancient and respectable borough for the ensuing year. A bet of considerable magnitude, between Horatio Ross, Esq. of Massie, and G. Fullarton Carnegie, Esq. of Charle ton, was decided last Saturday the former betting that he would shoot as many partridges on his estate in the space of five hours, as the latter would do on the estate of Ethic in the same time. The day being fine, and the fame of Mr. Roza as a marksman being to well known, a great number of sporting gentlemen were on the ground. Mr. Ross killed thirty-one and a half, and Mr. Carnegie ten brace, the former gaining the bet by twenty-one and a half brace.—Edinturgh Paper. A handsome ship of the line, the Droning Maria, of 94 guns, was recently launched at Copenhagen, in the presence of their Majesties the King and Queen of Den mark. The Irish and some provincial papers will hay eit that Parliament is to be dissolved next Spring, if not earlier. We can state, upon good authority, that there will be no dissolution of Parliament until the close of the next Session. CATIInt IC EMANCIrA TIC/N.—The Dublin Evening Pert says—" It is now tolerably well understood that every iudivhlual examined before the Select Committee of the House of Commons has expressed a decided opinion as to the necessity sod urgency of Catholic Emancipation. 1 t is also under-stool!' thotoffie opiniefi of nine-tfftntoe Committee is in %veer of theme/me, and it is expected that the Report will strongly recommend its adoption.

It is un derstood, and our authority, we believe, is unexceptionable that a considerable change has been a ireeted in the mind of Lord Liverpool, on this vital question. As a fair and candid man, Lord Liverpool could no longer resist the evidence and the truth. Mr. Peel too, but we speak with less posi tiveness on this point, has been brought to reason. The fact is, that the King says he w;il have peace in Ireland, and his Ministers are commanded to make it. As, perhaps, though we only speak this upon conjecture, the visit of Mr. Canning may be connected with this subject, we have some reason to conclude, that his object (whatever it has been) has to a certaib extent been accomplished. We shall, in truth, be much surprise'', if the next session do not open a new era to Ireland and to the empire." The parish of Dymock, Gloucestershire, like that of Leominster, has come to the resolution of not relieving paupers who keep doge. In the course of last we4c a vast number of seals made their appearance in the Frith of Forth, particularly in the neighbourhood of L ith.

One would imagine, by the fulsome flatteries heaped on the departed Monarch of France, that he had been " the nursing father" of the political Zion, and was wholly ex empt from those infirmities which enter, more or less, into the eharseter of sinful man. The Vicomte nv. CHATEAU IIRIAND is among the first to fling his load of incense into the royal sepulchre, and to pour forth his devout aspira tions at the altar of Sr. DENIS. 'rids crafty pamphleteer takes this mode of creeping up the sleeve of his successor, whose virtues,—past, present, and to come,—draw from him " hymns of praise," and make him deem life itself as no thing out of the spiritual presence of CHALLES X., the expectant giver of all good things. The shutting up of the places of public amusement in Paris caused much more real affliction than the event which occasioned it. You must count fur nothing the rhapsodies which you read in the French papers about the grief, pub lic and private; there was no such display. The follow ing jet, cresprit, which is privately handed about in the political circles, has as much truth as epigrammatic point in it, and expresses the feeling of the majority pretty cor rectly : lIVR L• MORT DI LOUTS LL DrAIREZ. Batons nous tic rimer longue Is snort le frappe, La funbre ()raison dun Prince rinbre i Les Francais font aacr6 mieux que Weut fait la Pape, Its le vegrettr ront, comme ils font desirie. When we look at the ',regent condition of France, and when we know the horizon of liberty has been darkening daily since his restoration, we can readily admit the truth, severe as it may be, that the French regret', d in the same degree in wit:eh they desired him. Still Louis XVIII. was a Monarch with many virtues ; and, hail the vigour and intrepidity of his mind been equal to the natural goodness of his heart, he might have been a great King. and France a great nation. But the love of tranquillity and good living had gained upon him by indulgence, during the long suspension of his royal functions, and it clung to him when the course of events gave him back his throne. He was not in his heart averse to popular institutions, but be was surrounded from the first by men who looked only to the advancement of their own sinister interests. The conduct and character of a Sove reign is controlled and modified by circumstances of which his subjects have no means of judging. His best inten tions are often neutralised by the over-ruling influence of those about him, and which he would fain oppose but dare not. Government is a curious machine, and else main-springs are not always where they scent to be. Louis XVIII. was, u far as his own better judgment guided bins, tin .11,4C:so :Notion/tel. He was not, indeed, us Rui Rtfurmalear ; on the contrary, he governed rather in the spirit of a Sovereign who hail slept for thirty years, and waked unconscious of the progress of public opinion, and the advancement of knowledge which bad taken place in the interval. It should be recollected, however, that he was placed in a position that made it next to impossible for him to effect his own views, or to follow the impulse of his own feel ings. Ile was so situated, that all the best dispositions of his nature contributed to mislead him. Ile owed a debt of gratitude to the emigrant Noblesse, who had adhered to him in his hour of adversity. They had long looked for ward, as the reward of their fidelity, to the recovery of their former station, and their former influence. They had been always accustomed, in this respect, to identify his restoration with their own. This was not unnatural ; and Louis found it impossible not to yield to those feelings t f personal gratitude which seemed combined, in ►o great a degree, with the duty of political justice. He saw, — for he was by no means deficient in understanding,— the straight-onward course which sound policy dictated ; but the emigrant influence from time to time over swayed him, and he yielded to it. Hence that imie cision and impolicy which mailed all the earlier measures of his Government. Add to this, that the emigrant party was strongly supporttni by the Conti nental Powers, to whom alone he owed it that he was Lours XVIII. : and these Powers were not backward in exercising and enforcing au authority in the French Ca binet, which he was not able, nor perhaps very anxious, to resist. His obligations to the Allies bound him to a compliance with their views, anti those views were hostile to all liberal institutions. Ile could not but feel that his subjects were dissatisfied, and in many instances he was so himself ; but be was at the mercy of circumstances which he could net control, and he had no choice but to submit. hythe mean time, the spirit of discontent spread itself fast among the people, who, judging from the acts of his Government, which were in fact not his own, they visited upon him that odium, which, personally, !redid not deserve; but conceiving, as it was natural they should, that he had identifiel his cause with that of the emigrant party, and of the Continental Sovereigns, he lost, by de grees, the confidence of the nation; and the MURIONS were never mentioned, nor are they still, but in language very ditrerent from that which figures in the Paris Jour nals, anti which flourishes in the sycophantic pages of Le VICOMTE DC CHATEAVCRI•ND. iVith respect to the admission of the Dauphin into the Privy Council, you may collect the public sentiment upon same cast, find their way into private circulation : •' Croyez Ilene' discours Denim' ; Apploudisser, reads pstrintes Le Mc PIM( aura des menins, Et k p.stple aura dee rmm4l:es." an a a•CW a via 1 Louisiana.

We copy the following Proclamation of the new French Prince from a Now York paper : PROMISE Or THE KING or FIIANCE.—The intrigues which have been made use of to prevent my return to France have pre vailed over the sacred duties which my misfortunes imposed on the authorities to whom I addressed myself. When I endeavoured, by means of a voluntary subscription, to procure the necessary funds, the infernal genius of the sanscolottas corrupted the pa. triotic loyalty of those to whom I applied. Hoping by my per severance to disappoint the hopes of intrigue, I hove caused . t•m be printed NO memorials. by muting which, it may be judged, that if I was not the son of Louis XVI. the Censors would have laid cnntplaints against me. Iloweve►, they have no resource but in. trtgue, which thus t'ar has perfectly answered their purpose. Theme who wish to satisfy their curiosity, or who are desirous or doing me a service, may effect both purposes by taking one of those me morials. It will east them one dollar. and I promise, as soon as I shall have succeeded to my rights, to be delivered to each of them a barrel of vin de grave. Any person ilesimus of procuring one of these memorials, may see toe in person, at No. 411, Couraandt. street. The intrigues that have been resorted to in the different cities to Prevent ni) ohteining supplies ran now no longer calm. t'itisen La I'syette will attest that the Dauphin of France, on the death of his father, was only three years old. Ile nimbi to remember, that he took hint in 1791 from the arum of his nurse, to shew him to the people. This happened at the palace ofVersailleit ; eonserpiently, all who say that he was nine years old on the death of his father, ars evil-disposed persons, besides being crazy.

Yesterday, the first Meeting of Creditors took place before the Commissioners at Basinghall-street. 11, cart Law, RIACCLERE, and SPRA INGE k set.re present. At a very early hour the Court was crowded with anxious (Tali. tors, sevtral of whom proved debts to a very large amount. Mr. Mos Taw: x attended as Counsel for the petitioning creditor. Mr. CLARICE, the Managing Director of the European Life insurance I..7empariy, presented himself to pr ove a debt of 47,000!. which appeared by the bankrupt's books to be due to the Society, but the claim was not allowet! to be proved, because the Commissioners held that Mr. (lark, was not competent to do so althea the write n asaiut of the general board. The claim was therefore put in abr.'. ance till the next meeting. The Treasurer of the Mary-la-honne School presented himself to prove a di bt of above 300/. but his proof was also r.jceted on the ground that the Treasurer of himself was not competent to prove such a debt. A Gentleman, who stated that he had lodged plate with Me s-s. Marsh for safe custody while out of town, appli. d to the Provisional Assignee for an order to have it delieired tip, as the bankrupts mold hare no lien upon it, he king a creditor to the amount of 4,0001. The COMMISSIONERS êxidi that the applicant must have on order from the Lord Chancellor, and that M such cases it would be necessary to give an indemnity to the rrori- Fional Assi;ttee. S:vetal peraons now applitxl, to prove under the Con.. inissioat certain sums of money which they had W i nd thuipanktupts to be laid cut in the purchase of Ea- Chequer Mr. Commissioner Law—Can any one of tL• drarts say, that the money paid into the bank Ina ka% curd in Exchequer Bills? A Carom - oft—Yea, Sir, in my case the money was in vested ; but I cannot say how they may have b::eu since disposal of; that is what I want to know. Mr. LAW—I amu ot tell you, but it will be for vou to men in if the bills be in existene. , before you prove your debt; because, if they be in existence, von are entitled to them, and will have your money. Is there (to the Lank. rupt's clerk) any book, showing the amount of those secu rities lodged in ymir house, and the manner in which they have b en deposed of? Clerk—The hooks will show ,the amount, but not how disposed of. All these matters were entirely under the manarment of Mr. Fauntleray. The creditors were still pressing. forward to prove their debts, when the CAnutissioners haring consulted— Mr. LAW said, that the creditors would be allowed to prere their debts, bin they must understand, that by floirg so, they must abandon their title to the Exchequer llil:s if they w: re still in xxistence. The creditors then usturally enough declined to prove th it dirs. Mr. NIONTACII*E. nn behalf of the petitioning creditor, begg d it to be understood that lie did not object to those person prov;ng their di ht%. Several other creditors then proved their debts.

Mr. MONTAGUE said, that the provisional assignee bring anxious to ram, all the information he could, hail drawn up a statement of the atTairs of the bankrupts as far as was within ifs power.

It is certain that what passes here wid appear in the newspapers of to-morrow ; and, hat it ntav prejud cc the unhappy gentleman now awaitin g hi s trial, it weal not be right for us to give it our countenance. Several of the creditors, who had not heard the state ment read, were now clamorous to hear it. Mr. Montage did not object to it. The provisional assigt.ce very be comingly handed it to Air. Wood, an able acceuntaut, and it was again read. Messrs. Marsh, Stracey, and Graham appeared. and, in the usual form, required time for their surrendering to their Commission. They appeared touch depressed in spirits, and were tr.:ated most respectfully by all their creditors. A private meeting, for proof of debts, is fixed for Mon day next. MR. BROUGII.I.If. The Carlisle JotdrZi ;;;;;;;We . l;; before the pull's a few particulars connected with the antiquity of the set tlement of Mr. Brougham's family in Wismorelanit, hut which likewise point out the importance of that family in ancient times. It is probable that tnost of these particulars will he found an acquisition to many of our readers, while we cannot entertain a doubt, that such of our frienth4 as are acquainted with them will pardon the re-perusal of any ' thing connected with the person of such a man as Henry Brougham. We must premise that we are tonic:pally be holden for our authorities to ilreekinson's Cumber'oli, and the laborious work of Burn and Nicholson. pr. Camp bell, the historian, says that this family was resident at Brougham before the conquest; in the time of Edward the Confessor, Walter de Bingham was possessed of the estate and manor; in the is 1 Henry 11. we find Odard de Burgham, Lord of the Matter of Burgham ; in the next trigs we tied Gilbert, the son of Odard, in pos session of Brougham. To pass over intermediate pos sessors of the estate, we come to John de Bergham, in the 7th year of Richard 11. was knight of the shire for Cumberland, and in the 18th year of the same reign member for Carlisle; in the Qutit year of the rain: reign we find the said John re-elt eted for Carlisle; in the 13th jeer of Henry VI. John de Barghatn was o ne of the nisentbers for Cumberland. Thi s f am ily has likewise af forded several high sheriff s to th e county of Cunthet. Mod, as may be se n in the Table of SheriN to II elate- J Com& ! W elan. e think that we hove now sufficiently shown that Mr. Banighain has pretensions to be called ' Henry Brougham. of Brougham Hall, in the county of IVestiocirland, E q.,' and that Brougham Hall is • an ancient dotnrin to it Mr. Brougham ' has succeeded from a long line of ancestors.' It is true that in the lapse of ages, eircumstaiic.-a have occurred to circumscribe that domain within narrower limits than thine which bounded it in 311CiClit tunes ; but (as we had occa- Sinn to observe last 1. eek) d! reention and extsnsien of family estate is sometinws anything but a proof of family merit.. Mr. Monett:ma can. indeed, well atfonl to dispense with anc, mot ial honours. but they are to virtue and talent what the ailventitiousurnatuents of dress are to beauty ; and we do not see that, in either ease, the pos aels,r should be tamely suffered to be despoiled by • ruffian. In our last, when speakin'7 of that interesting place. Ilighhead Castle, we stated that a moiety of the estate had ilts,endcal to Mr. Brougham : in this, it seems. we were correct. The property was acquired by Mr. Brougham by purchase, having passed in the reign of Gorge 11. to heirs female. Henry Richmond Itrombam, whom we conjecture to be the builder of the elegant house which stands on the site of the ancient cast::. dying seised of Brougham Ilall and Ili A libead Castle, without issue, the bitter rt.:wended to the two dime:vas of his deceased first cousin, John Brougham, as co-heiresses, and was :revisit! fruit Brougham Hall, which pas, at !,y email male to John's younger brother Henry, gratiatatli,T of the present possetror.“ Last week, a Irmo!' iu Buduck parish.
