FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Messager des Chambres, June 7.) PARIS, JUNE 6.—The respective situation of the three Powers, parties to the Treaty of the 6th of July, at preeent engages public attention. It is asked whether Russia has remained within the limits of the Conventions agreed upon between the Cabinets—whether the intervention of the Imperial arms in the Ottoman territory, and, above all, the blockade of the Dardanelles, are not a mani fest violation of the Treaty—an extension given to the object which the parties who signed the Treaty proposed to themselves ? [The Messager, giving the substance of an article in the Times relative to the naval force under Admiral Sir P. Malcolm, and its sufficiency to put an cud to the blockade of the Dardanelles, says]-- " What are we to think of this language? Will England become hostile, menacing, towards Russia ? Will it consider itself as wholly released from the Treaty of the 6th of July ? We do not believe this to be the idea of the English Government ; it is, therefore, merely as political writers that we shall reply to considerations, which have in them nothing authentic or official. " Let us first state a fact. Hitherto Nothing has been done by Russia, that can be considered as a violation of the Treaty concluded between the three Powers. " When in the last Session explanations were given respecting the. Russian movements, it was clearly shewn tha . it was completely foreign to the views of the Tl•eaty that Russia derived its right to make war from grievances of its own, which it alleged against the Porte, and that therefore the great Powers could mix in the intervention only to treat upon the general results as connected with the balance of Europe. " This principle was clearly established ; Russia commenced the war without opposition ; results of various kinds occurred in its progress. " Thfs year a more extensive plan for the cam paign seems to have been adopted ; Russia acts on several points; the invasion by land is accompanied by the blockade of the Dardanelles. " Is this blockade sanctioned by the rights of bel ligerent Powers ? France has never recognised any blockade but one de facto. The English maritime law is of more extensive application ; the annals of Lloyd's Coffee-house prove this : during the late war with France the practice was carried to an ex travagant extent. " It is not our business to justify the consequences that may result from the blockade of the Darda nelles. If the Russian squadron does any injury to neutrals beyond what the law of nations permits, if its l':eckade is not effectual, but a mere declaration, it is certain that the neutral Powers are entitled to protest against an extension of the rights which war gives, but it is impossible to deny the right of gerents to establish respectively blockades, de facto, to hinder the employment or development of their forces. " There cannot, then, be a necessity immediately to throw the English naval force into the Mediter ranean. If the object were to protect English com merce, nothing could be more just ; but a force which would evidently raise the blockade, would change the respective situation of the states ; it would make England the enemy of Russia; it would put an end to the neutrality. " As for the annihilation of Turkey as a power, the object supposed to he entertained by Russia, , the last campaign has proved that it would not be an easy 'measure ' even on the supposition that the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh had not openly com menced its plans, and the limits within which it will confine itself. " Besides, what is the proof by which we can discover such a design ? And are these proofs suf ficient to authorise hostilities ? " Let the limes reflect on this question ; it will see that it has reasoned with a little precipitation." The Message,. and Gazette dc France contain no news from the theatre of war, so recent as that al ready received by other channels. (Prom the Journal des Debats of Sunday.) CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES.—SaTURDAr. M. SEPPEY made a Report in the name of the Commission of Petitions, M. SAI'IIOI, DE G LAI E: ( Seine and Marne), prayed that the Communes should appoint their mayor and municipal councils. He complained of several abuses, and of the mode in which the mayors were appointed. The Commission therefore proposed to pass to the Order of the Day on the former part of the petition, and the reference to the Minister of the Interior of the latter part, which pointed out abuses in the appointment of the mayors. Mr. MARECIIAL insisted on the reference of the whole petition to the Minister. M. MARTIGNAC.—The reference of the petition, as far as it concerns the nomination of the Com munes, would be without result. I oppose that re ference formally. M. MoNTBEL.—The right of petition, securing the citizens against all grievances, is an element of order ; hut if it is tnade to serve as a means of call ing individuals without office to call in question all our laws, the Charter itself, you render the right of petition the most active means of disorder and dis turbance. We have been affected, since the com mencement of the Session, by the great inconve niences which many petitions addressed to us bring with them. We have so far felt them, that to pre vent the scandal which some endeavour to excite in our sittings, we have rarely contested the reference of those petitions when demanded. It would be well if we were all equally convinced of this truth ; we should not then be' so often exposed to danger ous and afflicting discussions; we should not hear fatal recollections renewed ; we should not now hear, at the Tribune, that the Constituent Assembly had annihilated the barbarity to which France was pre viously exposed.—(Violent interruption.) M. TRACY.—This question extends to a general attack on the right of petitioning. You admit the right of presenting petitions with respect to private interests : well ; every general interest is to each individual a private interest.—(Numerous voices on the left—" That's true.") M. RAMBATEAU supported the proposal of the Commissi.n. The reference to the Minister of the Interior was then, put to the vote. The two Sections of the right and the left almost balanced each other. Messrs. Berbis and Treissac, and other members of the centre right, declared for the affirmative, and many members of the centre left voted for the ne gative. Two trials being insufficient, the House proceeded to a division. The scrutiny took place amid incon ceivable agitaticn.—The following is the number of votes—white balls, 130 ; black balls, 160-310. rillw that he will not recognise the existing Ordi nance relatiVe to the Estates, on the ground that it was extorted from the Government during his tni , nority. They say that was not the case ; and that if the Duke perseveres in hi§ telltsal, they have no alternative on theii• side but to apply to the Getman Diet, end submit to its decision the question of the alidity of the Ordinance in question. BRUSSELS, JUNE 2.—Some of our Journals say that his Majesty has received at Ghent the news that the newly-appointed Bishops of Ghent, Tour nay, and Liege, had been proclaimed at Rome. THE HAGUE, JUNE 4.—We regret to learn that M. -Adrian Francis Goudrian, Inspector-General of the Canals, &c. died on the 2d inst. at Ityswick. BERLIN, JUNE I.—A private letter from Poland says, " Rus.!its does much to attach Poland to itself; formerly the roads were the worst possible, now we every where find them convenient and in good order. The country has a better appearance. In, the towns beggary and filth have vanished; yet it seems very difficult to make the Poles forget that they were once a powerful and independent nation."

HAGUE, JUNE 2.—Great exertions are making in the office of the Minister of Finance to draw up the new scheme for the Decennial Budget, which is to be laid before the Second Chamber of the States- General. It is said that most considerable retrench ments will be found in it ; and we hear that his Excellency has already proposed as one means of economy, a deduction of 10 per cent. from the sala ries of all persons in office throughout the kingdom, without distinction, from the highest to the lowest ; a measure which, if it is adopted, will, it is said, ef fect a saving of a million of florins. HAMBURGH, MAY 29.—Letters from Christiania, in Norway, say that the accounts respecting the oc currences on the 17th May vary extremely. It seems that the number of Students who arrived to celebrate the Anniversary of the Constitution of Eithvold was not great ; but-that, among the crowd that collected on the occasion, there were severul persons belonging to the better class. It appears, however, that nobody was seriously hurt. Some of the inhabitants intended to send an address to the Ki ng , in order to prevent ill-founded opinions on the affair. _ _ _ The Estates of the Duchy of Brunswick have ex peeled to his Serene Highness the Duke their sor. 1w LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENLNG, JUNE 10, 1829. We direct attention to a letter inserted in our columns of to-day, on the subject of Mr. CA VENDISH and his claims to the favourable consideration of the Cambridge Electors. With the spirit of the remarks contained in that letter we cordially coincide. It appears by the Dutch Mail that great exer tions are making on the part of the Minister of Finance for effecting considerable retrenchments in every department of the State. The mode he proposes is simple, but not likely to be very agreeable to those whom it will affect. It is said that his Excellency has already proposed as one means of economy a deduction of 10 per cent. from the salaries of all persons in office through out the kingdom, without distinction, from the highest to the lowest ; a measure which, if it is adopted, will, it is said, died a saving of a mil lion of florins. With a certain portion of the public press, which honours—we beg pardon—which dis- honours the Government with its servile sup• port, it is the fashion to represent the pending contest for the University of Cambridge as a political conflict—a war between Whig and Tory. Puffing away from us these idle names, w e should be glad to ask the supporters of Mr. BAKES, if they will specify any one political principle, which is at issue in the struggle ? Let them only state what is that line in politics ' which they even believe themselves to be main taining or countenancing by their promotion of ;he cause of Corfe Castle ; and we are content. O yes ; their favourite " differed from Mini sters on the Catholic Question."—Be it so ; but do not the same scribes inform us that, in the present struggle, he enjoys the ardent support of Ministers ?—And of what Ministers?—Why, of that very Cabinet, which, according to Sir CHARLES WETHERELL, Sir EDWARD KNATCHBULL, Sir ROBERT INGLIS, and all the other most conspicuous and influential opponents of Catholic Emancipation, have Iscarioted their names for ever by basely be traying that Protestant Establishment which they were doubly and trebly sworn to defend ! What then is the nature of this contest, even were it (what it is falsely called) political ? Clearly it is a contest to accredit, to establish, to restore caste to, that Government which for feited the favour of all staunch 'folks by passing a law for Catholic emancipation. The Tories of Oxford branded Mr. PEEL as a traitor and an apostate. Those of Cambridge are endeavouring to remove the stigma. It is unnecessary for us to say that we are uttering, not our own sentiments, but the sen timents which ought, in common consistency, to he held by those who assume to themselves the title of the Church and King Party.—We de- fended and we applauded Mr. PEEL and the rest of his Majesty's Ministers on the very occa sion which severed them from their Ultra friends. We defend and we applaud them still. But we say, this is not a political contest. It is one which manifestly does not involve pOlitical consi derations ; and the very results which we have shown to arise from supposing the contrary, con stitute a proof ex absurdo (the Sophs of Cam bridge will very well understand the term) of the correctness of our position. With regard to the sincerity of Mr. BA ICKES in opposing Catholic Emancipation, we express no doubts ; for insinuations against the motives of individuals are hateful to us. But, when that gentleman is proclaimed as a martyr to the Anti• Catholic cause, this monstrous canoniza tion of a living subject does confer on us the right of asking two plain queBtions ; to which we request that some " Magnus Apollo" from the Universities will favour us with equally per- sincuous answers :- 1. Is NOT MR. BANEES NOW IN THE OFFICE WHICH iE HELD AT THE BEGINNING OF THE SESSION? 2. HAS liE EVER BEEN OUT OF IT The Orientals, it is well known, often talk of true believers " drinking the sherbet of martyr. dons."—And really, sherbet is a very pleasant beverage! The following are extracts from Germar Papers, received this morning:— CONsTAXTINOPLE, MAY 11.—Since the Porte is certain that the English and French Governments Avill send their Ambassadors here again, it plys more attention to the negotiations, and wishes to excite beforehand a conviction of its moderate sentiments. When the Reis Effendi was informed that Mr. Robert Gordon would come here as English Ambassador, and that Count Guilleminot would return, he is stated to have said to a foreign Dragoman, " Confidence is not placed in the Porte in vain—it will justify it—it will endeavour to settle all existing differences, and to prevent any cause of com plaint, which may snake the residence in Constantinople disagreeable to the Ambassadors." The Mehmanders, who are to receive the Ambassadors at the Dardanelles, are already appointed, and preparations are making for their reception. The military preparations are carried en with rather less activity, and it seems as if the Porte felt itself more secure from the approach of the two Ambassadors, and thought the great dangers at which it lately trembled more remote. The most distinguished diplomatic charac ters in Peraryne take this view of the Ottoman Ministry, i❑ as much as they consider the integrity of the Ottoman empire as secured by the re-establishment of the friendly relations with England and Fiance, even supposing the Russians to have the greatest success, and especi ally they believe that no hostile attempt will be made upon the capital, so long as the Ambassadors of these two powers reside in it. That the English and French agents have great influence, is proved by the withdrawing of the Russian men-of-war from the seas between Candia and Boudaoun, by which the communication with Alex andria is free, and the blockade of Candia raised, contrary to the wish of Count Capo d'lstria, who is said to have received the news of the regulation with great regret, and to have done his utmost to prevail on Admiral Heydest to leave some ships to cruise off Candia. But the repre sentations of Admiral Malcolm seems to have had more weight with Admiral Heyden, as he has arrived with his whole squadron off Tenedos, and will com mand the blockade of the Dardanelles in person, while Rear-Admiral Ricord, with one ship -of-the-line, two frigates, and several brigs, is cruising on the coast of Ru tnelia. The Sultan is gone to Tarapia, to be near the fleet, part of which, attempting to enter the Black Sea, was de terred by the appearance of a stronger Russian squadron. Since then the Russian men-of-war remain constantly cruising off the Channel, and do great damage, both on the European and Asiatic coast. The Capitan Pacha, how ever, is said to have received positive orders to put to sea, at all events, and it is supposed he will sail with the fist fair wind. When the European Agents lately paid a visit to the Capitan Pacha, on board his Admiral's Ship, Baron Van Znylen, the Ambassador of the Netherlands, suffered a severe coup de soleil, and is ill in consequence. He now takes baths, and is expected to recover. The French General Isloulet, who has arrived here, engages the attention of our politicians. He was presented a few days ago by M. Jaubert to the Reis Ef fendi, mad it is said that be has a sp ec i a l emmiesi . n ta him. lie frequently visits the Austrian internunolo, and is present at the reviews of the regular troops. The arrival of a Persian Ambassador at Scutari is another sub ject of attention. It is said that he will conclude an alliance with,,the Porte and then proceed to London. We have no news from the Danube. The accounts from Asia seem not to be favorable. Gen. Paskewitch is said to have received great reinforcements, especially of artillery and to be preparing to march against Erzeroum. We learn from These ply that almost all the Albanians have returned to their obedience. The supply of provisions for the capital is regular, and no want is now felt. (We have just received by express news from Constantinople of the 14th of Alay The removal of the head-quarters, and the +standard of the Prophet, from Ramis Tchitlick to Tarapia, took place with great solemnity on the 15th. No account of operations on the Danube or in Armenia had been re ceived. The report of the arrival of a Russian negociator in the camp of the Grand Vizier proved to be unfounded.) VIENNA, MAY 29.—Metalliques, 951; Bank Shares, 1,109. By the Papers of thiS morning we perceive that Lord STOURTON has put forth a sort of apologetic statement of the reasons which in duced him at the last meeting of the British Catholic Association to object to a vote of thanks to Mr. O'CONNELL. These reasons—which by the bye we do not very clearly comprehend— are, to say the least of them, vague, indefinite, and unsatisfactory. They are the reasons of a man who seems to feel that he ought to say something, but does not very well know how to go about it. His Lordship observes that his objection to the vote of thanks was " grounded on the conviction, that from the mo ment the Relief Bill had passed, the Roman Ca • tholics should no longer appear before the public in any corporate capacity, but as dissolved into, and blended with the general mass of their fellow sub jects." Assuredly they should, no one ever doubted it for an instant, but what answer is this to the refusal of certain of their party to vote thanks to Mr. O'CONNELL—to that very individual by whom their further existence in a corporate capacity has been rendered unnecessary ? Why should their last act be a resolution to pass over the services of the man who has emancipated them ? Would it not have been more graceful, more creditable- to have characterized their dissolution by avote expressive of their grateful recollection of the past ? They met to go through the several minutia✓ of business, to speak upon this, to en large upon that tt ifle ; why then did they forget — or rather strive to forget—the only act that would have conferred dignity on their last proceedings as a body, the only one that would have entitled them to a column in detail from the daily Journals? Even in the more mechanical and common place relations of life, no firm or body ever thinks of breaking up without at least discharg ing its legitimate debts ; but here we have an instance of one or two Members of that lofty and long-established firm, the British Catho lic Association, striving to dissolve partnership, without paying even that most imperious of all debts of honour, (to say nothing of justice) the debt of gratitude, on a mere quibble, so shallow —so very shallow, that if it do not create gene ral astonishment, it is only because it cannot be generally understood.

The Duke of WELLINGTON and Mr. PEEL arrived in State. We are authorised to state that Lord STOUR- Totes reasons for thinking that thanks to Mr. O'CONNELL were ill-timed, at a Meeting specially called for the disso lution of the British Catholic Association were grounded on the conviction that, from the moment the Re lief Bill had passed, the Romsn Catholics should no longer appear before the public in any corporate capacity, but as dissolved into and blended with the general mass of their f e llow -subjects. This feeling had guided their judgment in not addressing the Throne, in not thanking their Par liamentary friends, and Lord STotrazox thought it held equally good for not expressing any vote of thanks to Mr. O'CoiewsLa...—/Iforning Paper. CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY ELECTION. Copy of a Letter to a Member of the Senate of the University of Cambridge from ROBERT GRANT, Esq., M.P., Fellow of Magdalene College MY DEAR SIR, It would be presumptuous in me to expect that any reflections which occur to me on the subject of our expected Election could have the effect of influencing your yet wavering decision. I will, however, state very shortly the considera tions by which I have felt myself impelled to adopt the cause of Mr. CAVENDISH, and will leave it to you to estimate their force. I beg to say that personal attachments can in this matter have no place. I have never been acquainted with the gentleman referred to, nor with any member of his family. I should observe also that, in the case of a representation so peculiar as that of one of our Universities, and of individual merit so emi nent as that of Mr. CAVENDISH, I am disposed to attach less importance to the question respect ing the political opinions of the candidate, than might fairly be exacted on ordinary occasions. It is my belief that, if we elect Mr. CAVENDISH, his public conduct will be marked by good sense and moderation, by a steady and intelligent appli cation to business, and by a watchful regard to the maintenance of our National Establishments. For this belief a sufficient assurance is, I think , afforded by the estimation which he generally enjoys among those who know him, by his supe rior talents, by his studious and reflective habits, and by the unimpeached regularity of his aca demic life. Ills distinguishing merit, however, consists in the assiduous diligence and brilliant results with which he has cultivated the departments of science peculiar to our University. Unlike the greater number of young men of high rank and connexion, he has devoted himself to a course of Academic study in the spirit of a student by profession. With a predilection still more rare, he has selected as the principal objects of his atten tion those abstruse branches of knowledge which Cambridge pursues with so much success and celebrity. And, after a patient endurance in the career which he had thus chosen, he has at length borne away the most Exalted honors which his University awards. With this decided vocation to the studies pre eminently characteristic of the University of . Cambridge, it is not, I conceive, inconsistent with any just or constitutional view of the na ture and objects of parliamentary representation, to assert that a fitter candidate for the dis tinction which he now seeks could scarcely be found. In the course of the two cen turies during which we have enjoyed the elec tive franchise, we have often been creditably, and even splendidly, but I question whether we have ever been so appropriately, represented ; and I own that, as an attached and faithful mem ber of the University, I should not without jealousy witness the transfer of his services to any other body of constituents. I cannot help adding that the merits which I have described as peculiarly belonging to Mr. CAVENDISH, are such as may safely be in disparagement to implyin g g wever considerate. a si n s y ted oti o w n r , w qi i i t a l l m ifi u c t ati i o m n p s l , y Elsewhere, perhaps, he might be more than ade• quately rivalled ; but at Cambridge I confess that I should have expected his claim to be deemed paramount. Among those to wh om the studies and the fame of the University are dear, and especially among the resident members of the Senate, I should have thought that no canvassing would have been required ill support of his pretensions, and that ill opposition to them none would have prevailed. I have the honor to be, my dear Sir, Your's very faithfully, ROBERT GRANT.

This wa, an action on four bills of e xcbang e t el recover 3,5001., drawn by the plaintiff and acceP by the defendant. The bills had been given for a 'quantity of wi2nye which was resold after delivery at a loss of from be to 30 per cent. The defence set up was, th at t bC defendant having occasion to raise money, bibs the wine for that purpose, the plaintiff knowing intention; the price given, however, being 1 13 ' 4 than the defendant could get for it again, henf`iti contended that the transaction was usurious, and tii he was not legally bound to pay the bills. f o r The Learned JUDGE said, that the question 0 the Jury was, whether the transaction was a 1 1 / to raise money at an usurious interest, or a bon es !' sale. The Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff damages 3,568/. EARL V.

The latter refused to Pio it up, on the ground that, in 1824, he had l et I to , same harp on hire to a woman named SandereoqAol instead of returning it, had sold it, and defro d ,io him of the value. Mr. Dodd contended, t i ne consequence of that transaction he had a right to t e d, lain it ; but the Learned Counsel now sub:ll-ted that before such a right of detention could be Te*- 0 , in him, he must have prosecuted the felon to victim Mr. Dodd (with other musical-n lOl/ Je turers) had prosecuted Mrs. Sanders for the 11 ',""i e lf rn9anour, in defrauding them, and he prided !n o d consOerably in the dexterity by which he yen t voideil .!onvieting her, by going to his dinar ollity the trial came on, and thus preventing his for a part of rt, e expences. The Learned C°d / l called the friend oc the plaintiff, who had boug ht ' be harp for him, to pros. the above statement. jr i The ATTORNEY•GEtimIAL contended, for ° r iot° fenriant, that Mr. Dodd had g i ven no tice to v s ," - bio pawnbrokers that he had been defrauded o f the harp, and had taken every paina to discover it. tA be law, he presumed, was, that no property Cow altered.by fraud.
