AN ENGLISHMAN IN PARIS. paragraph in one of the French papers gives a curious account of the adventures of one of our countrymen shortly after his arrival at Paris. On arriving at an hotel in the Chausee d'Antin, he made " a copious dejeuner," at which he got more than half fuddled. On going into the streets he Placed himself under the protection of a young lady, r- who fora valuable consideration undertook to show him the lions at Paris. Instead, however, of con led thed d ucting this " l u bb erly boy " safe home to his hotel, ,e lady decoyed him to a house of ill fame, in the ira. Rue Fromatiteau. On waking the next morning 3rt he found himself to his great s ur p r i se , a l one on a cranky-bedstead in a vilianous bedchamber ; and to ; his great horror, without either his watch or his ",; I. '„ llt se- On ri ng i ng hi s b e ll , t h e landlord came up to 11 h im, and tell him not to be alarmed, as he had taken both his purse and his watch to prevent him et , from being robbed. He then gave him thew back, it, f 4 ild our E ng li s h man fancying himself, in conse- l u ence, in a lace of safety, t urne d hi mse lf roun d i n b ed, and aga in comp ose d hi mse lf to s l eep. On staking a second time, he found himself stripped a gain of his property. He called for assistance, Inl n nob o d y came near him ; he got out of bed, and ir n '°„'o his d oor b arr i ca d e d aga i nst him. It was not o; ;rid after a laps e o f five days that h e esca p e d ' l4 I°lll c; at this vile du rance , an d returne d to t h e h otel which he had originally taken up his quarters. ' l "' ; 18 he wa s ever more tr i stc than the generality of I ' l ' I's co untrymen, his landlord suspe c t e d t h a t h e h a d (1- fot into some scrape during his absence from his i o n . d gil'gs, and b y d i nt of sol i c i tat i on pumped out of h- n) c, the truth... A pp li cat i on was i nstant l y made to the Police and as our countryman h a d h appene d to l as ose two bank bill s f or 25 , 0 00 f rancs eac h , a clue Ny given to the po!ice which is lik e ly t o l ea d t o t h e detection, of the offenders. The bills have been re covered. The most surprising part of the story is, that the brothel-keeper in the rue de Fromenteau, s, learning here our E ng li s h friend resided, ;sent n ruin a bill, amount i ng to 1,200 francs, for his ex t t ,4 ireanneeeS d ur i ng the five days he resided there; 72 it s were charged f or c l ean sheets, 780 francs for rt . b(4O b ottles of Ch ampagne, and 100 francs for 10 ottles of Madeira. The Englishman refused pay is meat • notes , but the brothel-ke e p er t oo k hi m b e f ore a le y and th e n o t ar y , not b e i ng a f ra id to compro rh.s _himself, compelled him to discharge this ex -1 °rultaut demand. The police have got a clue to this tra nsaction) and will soon be able to unravel its , myster y An indi c t ment h as b een already prepared glinst the b rot h e l-k eeper; and the Quotidicime PPmises its readers that they shall in due course r- time be made a cqua i nte d w i t h a ll t h e ramifica , n, of tie I,this audacious outrage. d Ti, red r(1- ,ort St -se Earl o f A BERDEEN, as S ecretary of ate for Foreign Affairs, gave a grand dinner yesterday evening to the Hargrave of BADEN, at Argyll-house.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. COMPLAINT OF MISREPRESENTATION.—Yester day Mr. Hunt entered the Justice-room, for the pur pose of addressing the Lord Mayor on a subject which has been great matter of conversation for some time. It is fresh in the recollection of our readers, that at the late election of Sheriffs, the Au ditors produced a report relative to the City Ac counts, which they had been for some time overhawl ing. Upon that occasion Mr. Hunt made a repre sentation, which appeared to have been borne out by particular item•, and he was supported by the Livery in the measures which he afterwards pro posed. He glanced, in his address to the Livery, at certain expences incurred by members of Com mittees, which expences, he said, it would be ad visable at once to retrench ; and he certainly made no friends amongst the members of the Court of Common Council, by attributing to them a strong propensity to over-dose themselves at the entertainments which occasionally take place after their labours have con cluded. Mr. Hunt had under his arm several papers, which looked like Acts of Parliament ; and the moment the Lord Mayor saw him, his Lordship said " Can I do any thing for you, Mr. Hunt ?" Mr. Hunt : " Yes, my Lord; I wait upon you to request that you would do me a little matter of justice." The LORD MAYOR—" Of justice! Who has ventured to act unjustly to you ? I shall, if I can, very readily assist you." Mr. Hunt—" I expected to meet with great promptitude and sincerity from your Lordship —my application is a novel one, and such a reception is the more desirable, as my complaint is, to a certain degree, against yourself." The LORD MAYOR—" Indeed! Well let me know the full extent of it."—(Laughing.) Mr. Hunt—lt arises out of the proceedings at the late Common Hall, which your Lordship was unfortunately prevented from attending by indispo sition. On that (lay, I, as senior Auditor, laid the Report before the Livery, and let them a little into the secret of the management of the funds. That Report stated, amongst other things, that the Cham berlain of the City of London had an average ba lance of from 50,0001. to 80,0001. in his hands. Now, my Lord, there are certain low-minded mem bers of the Corporation, amongst whom are some of the Deputies, who nightly frequent public houses and smoking shops, arid assert that the statements I then made are untrue. I would not notice the calumnies of such paltry individuals, which they whiff out with their stinking tobacco into the face of any stranger who may enter when they are in the midst of their enjoyments, but they have bit upon an expedient, which gives the stamp of credibility to their statements. They have made use of your Lordship's name, as an authority for declaring that my statements were false ; and they have added, that your Lordship had assured them that the Chamberlain never had 10,000/, in his hands at one time—a position which the accounts show cannot possibly be correct. The LORD MAYOR--I assure you, Mr. Hunt, upon my honour, I never made use of any such ex pression, nor did I know, until you made that Re port, what balance the Chamberlain ever had in his hands. The Aldermen have no means of knowing Mr. Hunt then untied his papers, and said," You, my Lord, and the other Aldermen, have the same means of knowing this as I have; namely, from the Chamberlain's printed statement - of his own ac counts ; wherein you see, that for the year 1827 the Chamberlain had 129,21 W. 17s. lid. balance in hand on the 31st d ay of December in that year, and on the 31st of December, 1825, the balance in his hands was 110,256/. 7s. 61d." (Mr. Hunt here exhibited " The statement of the produce and expenditure of the City's Estate fcr the year ending the 31st of December, 1825, to which is subjoined the balance remaining in the Chamber lain's hands on the 31st of December, and all the several accounts kept in the Chamber of London.) The LORD MAYOR looked rather astonished and incredulous at Mr. Hunt. Mr. Hunt—You see, my Lord, that there was at the time this full balance in hand, for the printed Report states that about 4,0001. of the above ba lance is applicable to the payment of bonds, &c., due on the fifth of January ; so that wh en these . 4,000/. are paid there wili remain in the hands of the Chamberlain upwards of 89,000/.; in addition to which the Christmas rents then due will make the balance in hand upwards of 100,000/. lam thus fully borne out in my statement. I took care in my account of balances to be below rather than above the mark. The LORD M.tvoß again assured Mr. Hunt, that not being aware of the fact, one way or the other, he had never contradicted it. All that he had ever said upon seeing Mr. Hunt's Report was, that it state d that the Lord Mayor received 13,0004 a-year. Now, he had the authority of experience for contra dicting that statement; the fact was, the Chief Ma gistrate received no more than between 7,000/. and 8,0001. to liquidate the expences of his year. Mr. Hunt—lt is expressly stated in my Report that you receive betwe , m 7,0001. and 8,000/. Th e difference between► that and the 13,000/. goes to sustain the dignity of the Lord Mayor, in the pay. ment of the servants and officers of the household._. It i• an appendage to the Mayoralty, and would not exist if there were no Corporation. The LORD MAYOR said that he would willingly exhibit his books at the conclusion of his Mayoralty, if any doubt existed as to the stun allowed for the support of the dignity of the office. Mr. Hunt said that that was what some worthy Chief Magistrates of his acquaintance would not very readily do; for the public would see, by such an ex hibition, how far the office was aimed at as a mere speculation.—(A laugh.)—lt was no uncommon practice to crib a good part of the allowance, a thing which he considered a very gross fraud. The LORD MAYOR said, that Mr. Hunt would do Well, if any more statements were made of the na ture alluded to, to confront himself with those who made them at the Mansion-house. lie (the Lord Mayor) would then - have an opportunity of contra dicting what had been said, to have obtained a cur rency by b.:.ing connected with his name. Mr. Hunt said that he could not follow the au , ihors of the calumny into the places in which they were in the habit of giving vent to their animosity; but he would cause some of these tippling, pipe smoking, backbiting fellows, to be watched. — (Laughter.)—Many of them were to be seen in the neighbourhood of Fleet -street, where they appeared as " Cocks of the Walk," and delivered opinions like oracles, on foreign and domestic politics.— (Laeghrer.) Mr. - Hunt then tl:anked his Lordship for the very candid arid spirited manner in which he had dis claimed a. co-operation with the " pipe-smoking squad," as he called the gentlemen who stand up as a bulwark in vindication of the dignity of the City. BOW-STREET. LIBELS UPON LADIES AND CONSEQUENT CHAS TISEMENT.—Yesterday Mr. John Dance, a gentle man most respectably connected, was charged before Mr. HALLS, the presiding Magistrate,by Mr. Charles Molloy Westmacott, the reputed editor of the Age newspaper, with committing an assault upon his (Westmacott's) person, on the precediug night, in the box-lobby of the English Opera-house. The Office was extremely crowded by gentlemen of the histrionic art, and the friends of the accused. Mr. Dance, a respectable solicitor, appeared on behalf of his brother. Mr. HALLS called upon Mr. Westmacott to state the nature of his charge against the defendant. Mr. Westmacott—My object is to have Mr. Dance bound over to iceep the peace. Mr. HALLS—But I must hear the evidence, and ascertain if there are grounds for calling upon him to find bail. Mr. Westmacott—On Monday night I was at the English Opera House, and on quitting one of the boxes I was met by Mr. Dance, who was in the company of two other persons in the lobby. He accosted me, " Have you received a letter which I addressed to you —my name is Dance ?" I replied, on his mentioning his name, for I dill not know Mr. Dance, that I had received a letter, and I presumed that he was the individual who had sent it. He said that he was the writer of the letter, and he wished to know if I intended to reply to it or not ? I told him that I had just returned from France, and that I knew nothing of the article to which his letter referred, as - it was inserted in the paper while I was out of the country; and if I did reply by letter, of course I should consider the subject yeJI before I took upon myself any personal responsibi lity in an affair of the kind. He asked me if I in- tended to give up the author of the article of which he had complained in his letter ? I told him that instead of my writing he might then take my reply, I could not give up the name of the author. He said that I was a " lying scoundrel," and struck me with a thick stick, which lie had in his hand, pier the head and shoulders. I defended myself from the attack with that spirit which any one who knows me will give me credit for.— (Laughter.)—l resisted as well as I \vas able, but before an officer came up he struck me again, and the stick was broken.—(Here the witness produced the instrument of his flagellation, and feelingly ob served that it was more like a bludgeon than a com mon walking stick.) Mr. HALLS said the stick was of a pretty thick ness.—Westmacot t—Yes, Sir, the force of his blows broke my hat. I only require him to be held to bail, and I shall take such proceedings against him in another Court as I may be advised. Mr. Dance, on being called upon to reply to the accusation, observed that Mr. Westmacott had des cribed it as a most aggravate , ' assault. He (Mr.D.) would assure the Magistrate that the circumstances which produced the breach of the peace Were of the most atrocious and aggravating description. He did not deny having chastised him. The defendant alluded to an rrtiele in the Age of the 13th inst., headed " Mr. Horace Twiss's Din ner," in which the sisters of Mr. Dance (one of them, a young lady, who, a few seasons ago, ap peared on the boards of the English Opera House), were !mined, and described as visitors ut the dinner, and insinuations were thrown out against their chastity. ,Mr. HALLs-I am not to try the merits of the case. Whatever aggravation you may have received, Mr. Dance, although it may be a matter of conside ration hereafter, I have nothing to do with it; I have merely tol satisfy my mind that an assault has been committed, and that has been sworn to, and you have also admitted it; and then I am bound to order you to find bail to answer the charge at the Sessions. Alr. Dance, the solicitor, said that he appeared on the part of his brother, and he wished to ask Mr. Westmaeott a few questions. Mr. HALLS—If they relate to the provocation, or cause of the assault, I cannot allow the questions to be put. Mr. Westmacott abstained from enter ing into the particulars of the circumstances that led to the breach of the peace, except so far as referring to some letter; and unless you wish to show that your brother ought not to be held to bail, I cannot permit you to interrogate Mr. Westmacott. Mr. Dance, the solicitor, said, that his questions would tend to show that Westmacott ought to be held to hail as well as his brother. Mr. HALTS —Then you may put your question. Mr. Dance, the solicitor—Did you not threaten my brother at the theatre, after the assault, that you would " show him up"—(Laughter)—in your paper? Mr. \Vestmacott—l never said so. Mr. HALLS—If you did say so, I care not; I have nothing to do with newspaper squabbles, or with "showing up," though I must confess I don't like the term. Mr. Westmacott—l declare that I never in my life gratified private feeling by " showing up" any one in a newspaper. Mr. Dance, the solicitor, hoped Mr. Halls would bind over both parties to keep the peace. Mr. HALLS-1 cannot accede to that, as Mr. Westmacott has not attempted to break the peace. If two parties went out to fight a duel, and were taken with pistols in. their hands, I should feel it to be, my duty to bind over both ; but as Mr. Westma cott had no stick in his possession, and offered, no violence, I cannot call upon him to enter into sure ties. He has also denied being the Editor of the paper in question. Mr. Westmacott—l am not the Editor. „ Solicitor —Any Editor having libelled another may say as much. Mr. Westmacott—l again assert, that I was in France at the time the article was published. Mr. Dance —Will you give up the author ?—No. Mr. Dance —Perhaps you will change,your mind ? Mr. W es t macott—You threatened to b eat me again where ver you m i ght meet me; per h aps you will change your mind.—(Laughter.)—lf you do not, t think Mr. Halls willl eel it to he his duty to call upon you to give heavy bait. Mr. llALLS—Whatever may hare been the origin Of the at.sottt iia , ;llolhing to do with the question. I have (1,4 to tinier Mr. D..nce to find two sureties and to eater into own ret'agn;z owe to answer any charge. Mr. lirestmaratt may prefer, anti to keep the peace in the meantime. Mr. Dance put in hail instantly, and left the Office with his friends.—Morning Chronicle. MR. COBBETT. The following letter has been addressed to the Editor of the Morning Chronicle:— BARN ELM VARM, JULY 21, 1829. SlR,—ln your artide, published softie days ttgo, containing remarks on the declaration of Mr. Hoof and myself, you said that the• people of England were in a state of beastly ignorance; and therefore, unfit to he let Mom to choose their own representa tives in Parliament. The pirodf of this beastly igno rance was, their late opposition to the Catholic In answering you, with that indignation which evert an English dog ought to have felt-in such a case, I said, that you, above all men, should have abstained from this charge against the people of England, see ing that up to the math of December, 1821, inclu sive, you tilled your columns with calumnies on the Catholic Religion, and on Catholic . Priests, and re presented both, as essentially hostile to liberty, to the enlightening of the people, and to pubte happiness but that, in the month of Feb. 1825, Mr. O'Con nell, the Treasurer of the Catholic Rent, having come to England - with his Deputation, you became all of a sudden - converted to the Catholic faith; and began to cry aloud against the prejudices and the ignorance of those who opposed Emancipation. You could not deny these facts; you dared not do that the facts are recorded in yotir own columns; and, therefore, you stood convicted of now charging the people of England with beastly ignorance, because a large part of them held the same opinions respecting the Catholic Religion and Priests, which you held and taught only one month before your miraculous conversion. You could not extricate yourself from this charge, and therefore you have, in your paper of Saturday last, sought revenge on the person who made it, and made it, too, simply in defence of his calumniated countrymen. Your revenge consists of qffecting lobe lievc in what you well know to be a lie; namely, that, under a false pretence, I actually received money. The story which you pretend to believe is this, as related by Staunton, the publisher of O'Connell's newspaper, called the Dublin Register. Staunton said that he paid me monthly a certain sum for leave to re-publish my Register In Ireland; and that, as soon as he discontinued to do that, I began to attack O'Connell.- The true story is this ; and I invite Mr. Staun ton to contradict it if he please. This Mr. Staun ton had, without any leave of mine, re-published the whole of my Re e ci.sier weekly, in a weekly paper set up for that purpose, and had been doing this for a long while, when I put a step to it by a threat of prosecution, the Register being at that time a copy right work, not having a stamp. When the depu tation anti all the efforts of 1825 were taking place, Staunton wrote to me to propose to pay for leave to re-publish. I wrote to him my terms, which were these Twenty pounds per month, I ceas ing to give leave at a month's notice, and he quit ting at any day that he pleased." lie wrote to me agreeing to my terms, suggesting however, that the money ought to conic out of Me Catholic Rent; iu answer to his letter I wrote, that with regard to the Rent, I had nothing and would have nothing to do; that it was a transaction of business between him and me, and that as such I should consider it. Let Mr. Staunton deny this statement, let him deny the statement; and then we shall see what sort of stuff he is made of. But, in the mean while, the pages of the Register are quite sufficient to refute the base insinuation. Staunton was pay ing me for copy right from the fall of the year 1824 , until the month of June, 182.5. I think it, was June, if not later, though I am not positive on this point. He paid me, at any tate, up to June, 1825. Now, look in the Register, and you will see that I began to at tack Mr. O'Connell in the month of March, 1825, and thlt my attacks on him never ceased until the 25th of May, 1829. The pages of the Register show this—show Staunton's ins'nuations to be ut terly false, and reflect very little credit on you, who affect to believe in the truth of those insinuations.— Staunton has my letter in answer to his suggestion about the Rent. Let him produce that letter, or let him pass for what every man will say that he is. With regard to the cause of Reform, it must suc ceed. Precisely how it may be accomplished, and what sort of reform it may be, I cannot tell ; but the " people must be let loose" in some way or other.— There i.s now no man who does not see that a very great and thorough change must and will take place. In the hope that it may be a change for the better, I remain, Sir, your most obedient, humble servant COBBETT. On Monday evening a respectably dressed man passed through the gate at Waterloo-bridge, accom panied by a female, with whom he was quarrelling. When he reached the centre of the bridge he charged the woman with infidelity, and immediately leaped over the battle ment, but luckily alighted on his feet upon the outer ledge. A gentleman passing seized him by the collar, and with as sistance rescued him from his perilous situation. When he found that he was safe, he fell down in a fit, from which it was some time before he recovered. The investigation of the Magistrates and Co roner into the fatal catastrophe at Borisokeen has impli cated JAMES Ilonatss, a policeman, as having shot Tnos. SMYTH through the head, and ROBERT SELLENGER, policeman, as having shot DANIEL WHELAN on the fair day. JOHN fIonAN, J OHN FARRELL, and DENIS MEALY, the other victims, were killed by gun-shots fired from the house of JOHN LIEcEa, an inhabitant of the town. A dreadful murder was committed at Boriso keen on the 17th inst. A man named JOHN BRYAN, said in the morning, that he could prove the innocence of HODGINS ; and at half-past ten o'clock he was attacked and murdered. Mr. Wm. RUTHERFORD, the tragedian, of New York, and latterly of the West London Theatre, was found dead yesterday morning in his bed, at the Sun and Appl,i Tree, an obscure public house in Drury-lane. He had been drinking there till a late hour on Monday night, in company with several persons, and he afterwards went out and obtained a quantity of laudanum, which he took in the presence of several persons who were acquainted with him, but who did not remark it, as he was in the habit of taking this drug as a stimulant. He then retired to his room, and in the morning was discovered quite dead. An inquest was held upon the body yesterday, and a ver dict was returned---" That the deceased took a quantity of laudanum, being at the time in an unsound state of mind." In the Journal du Conzmerce of last Satur day, we find a comparative statement of the produce of indirect imposts during the six first months of the present year and that of the corresponding half-year of 1827. The increase of the present year on the revenue of 1827 has amounted to 6,345,000 francs. As compared with the half year of 1828, the revenue presents a deficiency of 9,526,000 francs. In comparing these results to those manifested by the official returns of April, the increase appears to have been at that period 4,469,000 francs, for the first quarter of 1829, above the corresponding period of 1827. To maintain the same proportion in the reve nue, the increase ought to have amounted, on the Ist of July, to 9,000.000. This, however, has not been the case, various branches not having even retained their usual proportion. The duties on excisable liquors, for in stance, presented an increase of 306,000 francs; they have now dimini,hed by I,l2l,ooo,—difference, 1,426,000 francs. The fall in the various indirect taxes—such as public coaches, &c., was only 7,000 francs ; it is now equal to 614,000. But the produce of the lottery, which only presented an increase of 430,000, has been aug mented to 1,542,000, for the six months. In comparing closely the statements given by the Journal du Com merce, other variations will be found in abundance relit Live to th e severa l b ranc h es o f th e revenue. Th e most important are . i n th e s t amp and enstom-dudes, the forme of which have been nearly doubled, whereas the latter present an increase of only 596,000 francs. The Post office revenue seems to be the only branch which bas steadily maintained its increase, having been nearly dotibled. SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. It is with pleasure that we publish a Procla mation by the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland, dated on Saturday last, by which both the illegal Orange Assemblies are prohibited, and their sup pression and dispersion by legal means ordered ; and with even-handed justice is it also pro• hibited, that riotous attempts be made to put those assemblies down by Catholic mobs. It is evident with whom the provocation and mischief begin ; and is it not most detestable, that the benevolent intentions of Government to pacify Ireland should still he frustrated by a spirit of mere malignant revenge ? " You shall not pacify Ireland," say the Orangemen—" we will render the great measure carried by you for that purpose abortive. Our predictions that emanci pation would do .no good, will be falsified if we suffer it to do good.' The Catholics, also, hav ing obtained their great object, may be content to bear for a while that their adversaries should indulge in expressions of disappointment and dissatisfaction. " Let than laugh who win," says the proverb ; and those who lose may be allowed to cry. The intense feelings of both would soon moderate, if not irritated Ity collision. The following letter is worthy cif an attentive perusal " DUBLIN, SUNDAY ErgNINo. " I Wrote fo you on Friday evening, that the Privy Council would hold an extraordinary sittThg: in the Phoenix Park on Saturday, for the purpose cat issuing a proclamation to put down the principle pretext of those illegal Orange meetings in the north, which have on the recent occasion been SO pregnant with tumult, and the shedding of " I wrote last night to inform you, that the Privy Council had sat three -hours (from three to six o'clock in the afternoon), and had determined to put forth the strength of the Executive in extin guishing these lawless associations.

Large packets of these proclamations are directed to be forwarded to the Magistrates by this evening's post, through out the north of Ireland, as well, indeed, as to all other parts or the country.

In Tyrone, Armagh, and Fermanagh, the Catholics have been obliged to retire to the mountains for protec tion. The niilch-cows are suffered to ru►► wild about the country for the want of proper care—the children and their mothers have fled from their homes, under the terror of assassination ; and if vigorous measures be not speedily adopted, the civil war in the North may be extended to other quarters.

May they awake to the dangers which encompass the country round about, and by an immediate and ener getic appeal to the ultimate laws of the State, save Ireland from n convulsion.

The Priv) , Council has terminated its delihe rations ; and the result is a Proclamation, call ing upon the authorities of the country to obey the Laws, which will produce about as much effect as the invitation to Master Barnardine to come down and be hanged. The Dublin Evening Post has hit the nail on the head— " Disarm the Yeomanry and proclaim Martial Law." There is no use in shilly-shallying when multitudes are taking the field against each other. In all cases of this kind severity is mercy. In a country where the Magistrates arc partizans the law is a mockery.
