least those which he had re3erved ;—whether it would be necessary for him, in choosing the depo sitaries of his authority to obtain above all theap probation, not of his people, but of certain journals ; and whether he should be so little master of his con fidence as not to be able to bestow it any where without the fear of seeing himself declared in the Journal des Debals deprived of his right to the af fection of the French. M. Levavasseur called upon the Court for the infliction of the punishment ordained by the law against M. Berth], leaving M. Bequet to be dealt with according to the pleasure of the Court. M. DUPIN, sen., on the part of M. Bertin, said, he was there to defend the liberty, not the licen tiousness of the press. After the closing of a ses sion, which, far from being menacing to the power of the King, was unjustly considered by some as eharaetcriz(d by weakness—after the separation of the great bodies of the State, and when every per son was reposing, tasting the sweetness of a first sleep, the nation felt herself suddenly awakened by events which had led to the present proceeding. If the Gazette de France, which had been the precut.- tor of the present Ministry, and now attempted to direct its march, was to be believed, this prosecu tion was intended to stop the progress of the Jam -1.);:t and Imperialist conspiracy. He, however, said, that the Journal des Debats was religious, was Royalist, and had been proscribed during the em pire. He denied that it was a correct interpreta tion of that part of the article quoted, to say either the King no longer loved the people, or the people na longemloved the King; but he said no one was bound to love the King. Regent honorificate was the precept, and with honour it stopped. In his *opinion, if any King gained the affections of his people, it was Charles X. ; still he asserted that no (tom wta bound to love the King, and that very often there were very good reasons for not loving him at The article stated, that the bond which bound the people to the Sovereign was broken, but it did ttot. follow that it was broken for ever; and that .o*.m b rht not to be inferred. M. Dupin then com mented very minutely upon the article charged. He denied that any charges were made in it against the King, but that they were entirely directed against a faction in the State. The King and the people, he said, were throughout joined together, and were considered as partaking of the same fate. You talk of Whigs and Tories," said he, " but Mr. Canning and Lord Wellington commenced no 'prosecutions against the press. They have explained their doctrines. If you wish to imitate the example of England, imitate it in this point." M. DUPIN then said, " We are told to wait till we see the acts of the Ministry before we condemn them." That would only be waiting till the antici pated evil was consummated. The whole of France was alarmed at the accession of the new Ministry to power, and he alluded to a speech of M. de la Bourdonnaye, reprinted in the Journal des Debals, as a proof that the alarm which was excited was not without ground. He concluded by stating, that the Court were the dcfewlers of the press, in the absence of a jury. The article brought before the Court, instead of containing an offence against the King, expressed affection for him. In the King was still the hope of the nation. He might choose, if possible, worse Ministers, and would yet be obeyed: but justice ought always to remain the same ; and what had been permitted to the Gazelle de France to say on a former occasion, ought now to be per mitted to the Journal des Debuts. The King's Advocate having shortly replied, the Court, after an hour and a half's deliberation, found M. Bertin guilty, and condemned him to six months' imprisonment, and to pay a fine of 500 francs and the expenses; and acquitting M. Bequet, as his arti cle had been altered and appropriated by I.

BERLIN, AUG. 23.—The St. Petersburgh Jour nals of the 13th give some extracts from the Journals of the operations of the army under Count Die bitsch, to afford a view of the events that took place previous to the report from Aidos of the 30th of July. They contain in substance the statements we have already given, and we therefore extract only the following details of the operations of Admiral Greigh : " Admiral Greigh reports that he sailed from Sizeboli on the 7th (19th), with three ships of the line, three frigates, one brig, two gun-boats, and a steam-boat, and anchored the next day before Mes sembria; the calm which continued two days, then the violent wind on the 21st and 22d, hindered the fleet from beginning the blockade of the town. The wind, however, abated in the night of the 22d, so that the fleet was able to act in concert with the troops of General Roth. The fire of the fleet blew up a powder-magazine in the town." The latest paper (of the 15th of Auguat) gives the bulletin front Aidos of the 26th, which we gave before, but adds the following extract from a private letter from Aidos, dated July 29: " At length the Balkan is passed. Messembria, Achioli, Bourgas,—in short, the country all round the gulf is occupied by our troops. The defeated and scattered Turks are flying in all directions. We have taken 3,000 prisoners, 65 cannon, and a great number of standards. It was on the 22d that the Commander-in-Chief was on the highest part of the Balkan. It is impossible to describe the astonish ment of the army at the few local obstacles they met with in passing the mountain. As for the army, the troops that are with the head-quarters have not even got sight of them. Even the troops of Generals Roth and Rudigcr did not meet with them till they got on the south side of the Balkan, At the moment that the troops beheld from the summit of the mountains the Gulf of Bourgas, a loud and general huzza!' burst from them. On the 23d we descended into the plain, and on the way we heard of the taking of Alessembria, and we en joyed the fine sight of part of our fleet lying in the bay. The Commander-in-Chief, with his suite, went on board the Paris ship of the line, where the Admiral gave a splendid entertainment. " From,that time fresh victories have brought us hither. In fact, all appears like a miracle, and the disorder, the disorganization, and terror of the Turks, are quite extraordinary. They fly and retire towards Adrianople. On the 27th our vanguard was at Karnabat. We know nothing for certain respecting the movement of the Grand Vizier; some reports say he has left Shuinla, and retreated towards Adrianople. " We did not get under cover till we reached Aidos. The Commander-in-Chief occupies the same house that the Grand Vizier inhabited during the whole winter. Near us and for a considerable distance around, all is quiet, as if we were in pro found peace. A part of our vanguard must be to day at Faki." SEMLIN, AUG. 13.—Belgrade is in the greatest consternation at the news from the theatre of war, according to which the Turkish army is wholly dis solved, and the way to Constantinople open to the enemy. An account sent to the Pacha of Belgrade by one of his agents, states that the Russian army arrived between the Ist and 3d of August at Kirk- Kilissa, where the roads to Adrianople and Constan tinople meet ; that a division of Russian cavalry and light artillery immediately took the road to Adria nople, in order, as it seems, to occupy that city, but that the main army was preparing to march towards the capital. It is believed that the van of the main army may be before Constantinople by the 7th of August, as the distance from Kirk-Kilissa is only 213 : German (about 108 English) miles; the roads are good, the country abounding_ in supplies for tire army, and not the slightest opposition can be made to its progress. The means of defence beyond the Balkan are wretched. At Adrianople the second city of the empire, there is one battalion of eg lar nfantry, and two regiments of re gular cavalry. The militia, amounting to 4,000 men, are animated by the worst spirit. From these data a judgment may be formed of the whole. The only defence of Constantinople is a fortified camp which,can contain 20,000 men. It is feared that the capital will make no great resist ance, as the friends of the Janissaries are very busy and agitate the people : in the provinces the greatest discontent prevails. At Sophia the militia have re fused to take the field : the greatest activity is ex erted in the city, and the inhabitants will probably make a vigorous resistance if they should be attacked. Letters from Widdin say, that General Geismar has marched towards Sophia, or at least, on leaving Rachova, announced his intention of doing so. In Servia some restless spirits begin to show them selves. Prince Milosch, however, avoids every thing disagreeable to the Turkish authorities ; and very lately, on being requested to have an eye on some coiners and forgers of foreign paper currency in the provinces, he has not contented himself with put ting a stop to their proceedings, but has delivered up the persons implicated to the Pacha of Belgrade. SaLomcm, AUG. I.—A Tartar, who arrived on the 29th of July from Constantinople, Nought a fir man to the Governor, with strict orders to assemble in 21 hours all the men capable of bearing arms, in cluding the Imans and the Effendis, and to send them as soon as possible by way of Adrianople to join the army. The liaja Bey, our Pacha's eldest son, is to command them. Achmed Bey, one of the greatest men in this Pachalick, who at the beginning of the war promised to send by degrees a contingent of 20,000 men, has received orders to send 3,000 of them immediately. An equally urgent order for a levy en mane has been sent to all the Pachas of Macedonia and Rumelia, with injunctions to the Ayans, Mutteselerns, and Ayas, to put themselves at the head of the troops, and march partly to Adrianople, partly to Widdin. In the provinces nearer to Constantinople, where the firmans were received sooner, the Sultan's commands have been punctually obeyed; here every thing is doing to carry them into effect, and all w►ll be ready to march in a few days. The Ayan of Seres, with his men, is probably alreadroll the march. No such firmans have been sent to Thessaly, which has to furnish its contingent against the Greeks. M. Chamand, the British consular agent here, has, by order of Mr. Gordon, the Ambassador, resumed his functions, and hoisted his colours on the consulate on the 26th tilt.

COMPLETE DEFEAT of the 111IGUELITE EXPEDITION AGAINST TERCEIRA. Don A. de Mello, Aide-de-Camp of the Conde de Villa Flor, has arrived with despatches for the young Queen of Portugal, bringing the important intelligence of the complete defeat of the Miguelite expedition against Terceira. The attack on the island was made on the 11th inst., and a considerable body of the Miguelite troops were permitted to land. They were attacked by the troops of the garrison, while the guns of the batteries were directed against the division of the expeditionary army which was coming to their assist ance. The wind at this time was unfavourable, and confusion occurred among the boats, and the fire of the batteries sunk several of them, and did terrible damage to the remainder. The discomfiture was complete : and the efforts of the survivors were soon directed to save themselves, instead of aiding their companions on the shore. In the meantime the body that landed was suffer ing still more severely under the attacks of the troops of the Count Villa for, and finally the whole who escaped the fire of the Loyalists laid down their arms. The number of prisoners taken is great. — Five hundred have already joined the standard of the young Queen. Most of them formerly were soldiers of the Oporto division. The loss of the expedition is estimated at 1,200 on shore, and 1,300 drowned ; the beach was co vered with the dead bodies, most of them being washed up by the sea, the wind setting strongly in shore. Count Villa for estimates, in the procla mation published after the action, on the 13th Au gust, the loss of the enemy at more than a half of the whole expeditionary force. The following is an extract from the proclama tion of Count Villa Flor :—" The enemy has left your shores covered by the dead bodies of his men, which he sought to inundate with your blood. The sanguinary orders which they brought against the garrison and the faithful people . of this isle, Provi dence, which frustrates, and always will frustrate the efforts of crime, has turned against them. More than half of his soldiers have perished by your fire or the waves, or have received from their generous conquerors that reception which religion and hu manity dictate, but which the orders of tyranny pro hibited them from giving to your defenders, and even to you, if we had been conquered." The following was the order of the day issued by Count Villa Flor:— " ORDER OF THE DAY. " The appearance in the offing of a considerable number of vessels leaves no doubt that the adhe rents of the rebellion meditate an attack on the town. The Commander-in-Chief seizes the first moment to announce this to his gallant comrades. — The eyes of Europe and the whole world are upon you, as well as those of our beloved Queen. Every thing is in our favour : our cause is sacred, our coasts are nearly every where inaccessible, our de fence free from difficulty—every thing rests on your valour and discipline. Should the bands of the Usurper presume to defile our island, they will have reason to repent their temerity. Our country will applaud, and we shall offer to our legitimate Sove reign the immortal laurels of the purest and truest glory. " 30th July. " Count VILLA FLOR. (Countersigned) " MENDIZ, Staff Major." It will be seen that there is an allusion in the Proclamation to the sanguinary orders which the Usurper, calculating on success, had sent with his squadron. All the adherents of the Queen were to have been proceeded against without distinction, from Count Villa Flor to every private soldier. The event is likely to be of importance, not only in securing against attack the faithful band in 'Ter ceira, but in its effects on public opinion in other parts of the Portuguese dominions. This event has completely justified the confidence placed in Count Villa Flor, and must add to the high reputation which he had previously obtained. The following is from an official source " On the 11th instant Don Miguel's squadron attacked the Villa de Praya, and out of 1,200 men who dared to fire not one escaped-700 were killed and wounded, and 500 put down their arms, and are already in the ranks of the faithful. All the vessels had cast anchor under the batteries of the forts, and were obliged to cut their cables to escape. Twelve hundred muskets, two 21. pounders, and two gun-boats, are already in the power of Count de Villa Flor. This glorious news was brought by Captain Thornton, Lieutenant Don, arid Antonio de Mello, attached to her Most Faithful Majesty the Queen of Portugal's Embassy in London, who sailed from Angra on the 17th instant, and arrived at Falmouth, from whence they set off immediately for Portsmouth. " Her Majesty will be informed this morning of the glorious contents of Count de Villa Flor's de spatches. The loyal subjects of the Queen had only eleven persons killed and disabled; the enemy, or more properly the rebels, had many officers of rank killed; among others, Lieutenant-Colonel Azeredo, Major D. Gil, - brother to Count Mesquite's, and D. Antonio de Silveiro, another Nobleman?' Some of the letters ascribe the defeat of the first part of the expedition to the peasantry, who, after the Miguelites had landed, and advanced towards the ambushed troops in the interior, passed between the enemy and the sea, seized the boats, and thus prevented their escape. It is also said to have been ascertained from the prisoners, that Don Miguel had sent a Commission (Alcade) of Desembargadors, or Judges, selected from amongst the most violent in his service, with orders to try, and immediately execute, not only the gallant Villa Flor and his officers, but even the pri vate soldiers, whom the inhabitants of the island had been charged, by a proclamation riot to permit to escape. (FURTHER PARTICULARS.) It appears by private accounts received from Ter ceira, that the n um b er c f th e Miguelites killed in the late affray is above 450, and 500 were wounded, many of them dan gerous ly. The number of pri soners, including the wounded, amounts, it is said, to 800; while the loss on the part of the Consti tutionalists is extremely limited. It is scarcely pos sible to describe the feelings of delight exhibited by the Portuguese on this event. The Royal Ex change was on Saturday crowded with refugees, congratulating each other. NORTH & SOUTH AMERICAN COFFEE-HOUSE FURTHER PARTICULARS RESPECTING THE DEFEAT ` OF THE MIGUELITE EXPEDITION. The action began at eleven o'clock on the morn ing of the 11th instant, and closed at eight in the evening. Upwards of 1,000 men landed (consisting of the 11th, 3d, and Bth Cagadores, Ist, 7th, 19th, and 20th Infantry) upon some rocks, in order to come by the sands. The Volunteers (300 in number) were the only troops to oppose the attack. The regular troops were at Angra, 14 or 16 miles distant. A thick fog preventing the telegraph working, it was late in the evening before some of the troops arrived. At seven o'clock the second attack was attempted from the squadron. Captain Vilarinho directed the fire, and sunk four of the boats. The attack was then abandoned. The Don John, 74, and the Diana frigate fired constantly on the shore, but on retiring they suffered materially. The squadron consisted of 23 sail: 553 were taken prisoners,and upwards of 500 killed. A King's Messenger was sent off from the Foreign-office on Friday night, with despatches for the Continent. The despatches were understood to be for Mr. GoanoN, our Ambassador at Constantinople. Despatches from Lord COWLEY, our Ambas sador at Vienna, for the Earl of ABERDEEN, were brought to the Foreign-office on Saturday night, by an extraor dinary messenger. It is intended that the new Lundon-bridge shall be opened on the 18th of June next, the anniversary of the battle of Waterloo. The old ricketty bridge will be cleared away immediately afterwards. spirit. LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, AUGUST 31, 1829. Despatches have been received at the Foreign Office, from the Hon. R. GORDON, at Con- stantinople, and from Lord COWLEY, at Vienna. Mr. GORDON'S despatches are dated the Bth nstant, and contain exactly similar news to the last that were received from that gentleman. The SULTAN is represented as being now anxious to negotiate. They bring no news of the Russian army. A Cabinet Council will assemble at half-past Irce o'clock this day. The French Papers have little further definite intelligence from the theatre of war. According to the Gazette de France no present apprehen sions need be entertained for the safety of Con- stantjnople, for General DIEBITSCH is said to have with him only about 25,000 or 30,000 men, • , and it is : 4 probable that he will not act immedi- ately agai►t Constantinople. If the Gazette de France derives its notion of the safety of the city from the scanty nu mber of the Russian General's troops, we can oily say that it argues on weak and imperfect promises, for surely 25,000 men are sufficient to surprise a city which, on the land side, has neither natural nor artificial ramparts to protect it ; and which is, besides, according to report, deserted by its Sovereign and its soldiers. The Messager des Chambres confirms the entrance of the Russians into Kirk kilissa. The trial of the Editor of the Journal des Debats, for a libel on the King of France, contained in the number of the 10th August, came on before the tribunal of Correctional Po lice on Wednesday last. The trial excited great public interest, and closed by the defendant's being found guilty, and sentenced to six months' i►nprisonment, and five hundred francs of fine. M. Durex made an able speech for the defend ant, in the course of which he launched some adroit sarcasms at the new Ministry. A detailed account of the defeat of the MIGUELITE expedition, against Terceira, will be found in another column. German Papers give a distressing picture of the state of things at Constantinople. Its only defence, it seems, is a sort of half-fortified camp, which, however, is not likely to be of much be nefit, inasmuch as the SULTAN and his satellites are about to quit it, and retire into Asia. Meantime a general order, of an extremely ur gent nature, for a levy en masse, has been de spatched to all the Pachai of Macedonia and Ru melia, with injunctions to the Ayans, Mutteselems, and Ayas, to put themselves at the head of the troops, and march partly to Adrianople, and partly to Widdin. From this last place, letters state that General GIESMAR has marched to wards Sophia, or at least, on leaving Rachova, h e announced 4is intention of doing so . The Gazette des Pays Bas, states that news had been received at Vienna that the Russians were only four leagues from C o nstantinople, that the SULTAN was leaving the Capital to retire to Asia, and that Mr. GOR DON, the English Ambassador, accompanied hi m . Of Adrianople, the second city in the Empire, an article dated Semlin gives a most deplorable and extraordinary account. — Notwithstanding its immense importance, it is garrisoned, it seems, by only one battalion of regular infantry and two regiments of regular cavalry ; the militia, adds the same authority, amounting to 4,000, are actuated by the worst Hamburg Papers have been received, they state that it is reported that the Russian fleet which had long been expected from Cronstadt, on its way to the Archipelago and the Darda nelles, has received counter orders, and will not therefore proceed to its intended destination : ELSINORE, AUG. 2l.—Hitherto only a few small men of war have arrived in the Sound of the Russian fleet, which has long been expected from Cronstadt on its way to the Archipelago and the Dardanelles. It is now re ported that the ships of that fleet have received counter orders, and will therefore not proceed to their intended destination. There are various reports in circulation re specting the reasons for these new orders. Some persons think that serious differences are to he apprehended between England and Russia respecting the affairs of the East, which, if not amicably adjusted, might lead to the deten tion of that fleet in the channel. CHRISTIANIA, AuG. 16.—The members of the English Yacht Club have obtained permission from his Majesty for their vessels to enter and sail from the portsof Norway, without payment of the usual harbour dues. THE HAGUE, AuG. 27.—Accounts from Major-Gene ral Bischeff say that he arrived safe on the 7th May in the Straits of Sunda, and the Nehallenia was to sail for Ba tavia the following day. Hostilities were recommenced in Java about the middle of April, the negociations with the insurgents having failed. Up to the 7th May, according to the official accounts, no engagement of importan6e had taken place. Private letters, however, say that there had been a severe engagement with the insurgents, in which the Netherlands troops had gained a complete victory, which needs confirmation. According to the latest reports from Lieut.-General de Kock, Diepo Negoro, at the head of about 1,200 men, had made an excursion into the district of Deraetsewoet. He still retained his greatest influence in Mataram, and ex • erted himself to the utmost to maintain his ground there. The head-quarters of the troops of the Netherlands was still at Magalang, at the end of April. One of the smartest actions was on the 18th of April, when a column of the enemy, consisting of 600 men, attacked Lieut.-Colonel Ledel in his position, near Sentolo. The attack was very impetuous, but the enemy was at length put to flight by a charge with the bayonet. BERLIN, Auc. 22.—His Majesty set out yesterday for Brussels, and will then go to Luxemburg, and as some say to Paris. Various reports ire in circulation respecting the journey. The Prussian Ministry appears very desirous that France may not, under present circumstances, be too closely connected with England, that Russia may not be placed under the necessity of putting itself in a manner more forward than it has hitherto done. The Prussian Government continue to observe the most profound silence respecting the mission of Gen. Muffling to Constantinople. The Censors of the Press have not even allowed tile account of the General's having embarked at Naples to appear in any of the Prussian Papers. Cuaacoa, Auc. 7.—According to the accounts of numerous travellers, and the contents of letters from the interior of Russia, the military force of the empire is more and more developed, especially since the return of the Emperor. All the roads to the Dnieper are crowded with raw recruits. As the warm weather hinders the march of the columns, they march in the night and early in the morning, with a zeal that could not he expected. These columns are accompanied by a great number of waggons, not only for the baggage, but also for the soldiers who are over fatigued, a useful and humane care for the men which is too much neglected. It animates the zeal of the soldiers, whose courage is inflamed by the accounts of the victories gained by their country men. The Russians consider this war with Turkey as a national concern, and proceed to the theatre of war with so much zeal, that no doubt can be entertained of their success. BERLIN, Au°. 23.—The Grand Duke Constantine and the Princess Lowicz arrived on the 19th at Breslaw, from Warsaw, on their way to Ems. AMSTERDAM, AuG. 28.—Exchange on London, 12 25 ; Two months, 12 12 5-10. A Morning Cotemporary is, we perceive, already endeavouring to turn the late disturbances at Borris-o'-kane to account. He is endeavouring to represent them as growing out of the settle • ment of the Catholic question, and as mixed up with the general system of disaffection, which, he hints, either more or less pervades all Ireland. Now nothing can be more insidious, more unge nerous, more wantonly and flagrantly false than such a representation. The disturbances that took place at Borris-o'-kane have no more to do with the Catholic question—have no more con nection with any wide-spread spirit of insubor dination or disaffection to Government, than our Cotemporary's remarks with common sense or common justice. The fact is they were merely local matters, merely provincial quarrels, unconnected with any sense of national grievance, till they were elevated into importance by the recent trials and acquittals of the Policemen at Clonmell. Yet from such slender materials as these partial riots offer, does our Cotemporary attempt to build up an imposing edifice of calumny and misrepre sentation ? From a petty riot in an Irish pro vincial town, he attempts to deduce proofs of the rebellious spirit of the country, with the same effects and the same felicity that he some time since deduced the ruin of England, from the circumstance of his having seen an Irish potatoe afflicted with the unusual visitation of bashfulness FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TvalLrz o'CLocr: Although it is double post day we have had but very few arrivals this morning, and they are not of much importance. The Consol Market, which left off ou Saturday at 88-3 9 for the Account, opened at 881 if, and may be quoted at present 88i buyers, and for Money 88 with little doing. The fall of the French Rentes is attributed by the private letters by the Express from Paris this morning to the ap' proaching settlement of the account there, and not to any political information. Jamaica Papers have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house to the 12th of July, but they do not contain any fresh accounts in regard to the Spanish expedition for the coast of Mexico. The Courant, of the 9th of July, says, we regret to observe that the George the Fourth arrived here yesterday from St. Thomas in ballast; flour was scarce, and high at the date of her sailing, but large importations were daily expected there from the United States. The scarcity of flour in this market is unprecedented, and unless a seasonable supply arrives we shall soon be without a barrel of flour. Small- sales were ef fected yesterday at 8/. Letters from Madrid of the 17th August state that persons who are well informed of the affairs of our Cabinet, state that the expedition from Haven nah will make a landing to the North of Vera Cruz, and not in the province of Yucatan. The Juna Sanitaire of Cadiz has ordered that the quarantine of six days, which was laid on all vessels coming from Marseilles, is annulled. Letters have been re ceived here, via Gibraltar, by a vessel arrived here from Mexico, of the 12th June, stating that .the measures proposed there fer the destruction of the expedition from 1-lavannah have been approved of by General Guerreiro. In the Foreign market not a feature at presen t worth observation. Three per Cent. Consols, 881 a; Ditto, for Oct., 891 i ; Three per Cent.

Accounts have been received by Express from Constantinople, bringing the important information of the arrival there of the Prussian Ambassador Extraordinary General Muffling, who was most graciously received by the Grand Sultan; and after a conference of some time with the Sultan, he suc ceeded in proving to him the great danger w hich threatened his person and Empire, at the same time soliciting of him to spare the further effusion of blood by entering into a negociation for peace with the Russians, which his Highness at length complied with ; in consequence of which, when the accounts left Constantinople, some arrangement, or an armistice, was expected shortly to take place. The Consol Market has improved since the early part of the morning, when they were 88i for the Account; but up to this hour they are 891 to 1' owing to a report that an armistice had alrtady taken place between the Russians and Turks, but no official information has as yet been received to that effect, only the preceding account. We have no further news from the Island of Terceira, but report says that the Don John VIP which was driven on shore, had been taken posses sion of by the garrison of the above island. Thie requires confirmation.

That proverbially slow body, now sitting at Frank" fort, have given a quick decision in favour of a King ; and it is expected, that should the Duke refuse to comply with their decree, the King of PRUSSIA will march with to army into Brunswick. This I learn from a private source. The newspapers have been prohibited in Germany (tool writing on this subject." EXCHANGES ON LONDON :- HAMBURG, Auc. 25.-13. 91; two months, 13. 71.

The philosophy of our age seems entirely to have banished the faith in apparitions which was so prevalent during the last age. As Dr. John son remarked, however, it is a question which the experience of nearly six thousand years has not been able satisfactor►ly to settle. The fol lowing narrative, we are assured, is founded on fact, and is believed with implicit confidence in that part of Scotland where it is said to have oc curred. On this point we can speak with per fect certainty, as we are ourselves well acquainted with the localities, and have no reason to doubt the veracity of the individual who is the subject of it. Between thirty and forty years ago, a shepherd in one of the southern counties of Scotland, whilst tending his flock on the-side of a beautiful green bill towards gloaming, saw, or fancied he saw, a child running from the pur suit of an enraged mother. The appearance, we may be sure, appalled him, and he stood for some time mute with terror and astonishment, and undecided regarding the course he ought to pursue on so momentous an occasion. The screams of the child pierced his ears and filled his heart with agony. No human breast could have beheld the innocent victim of a relentless mother's unnatural rage imploring aid without emotion. The cries of " nnther, dinna do't," rang for weeks after in his cars, and for some days his acquaintances observed a very percep tible change upon his appearance. Whether he had resolved to succour the child we have not heard, though we think it more probable that, in his agitation and anxiety, he would meditate a retreat. At this moment the appearance sud denly vanished. When he came home he went early to bed ; his friends saw he was labouring under some mighty anxiety, though he persisted obstinately against disclosing the cause of his suffering. A few days afterwards, a person traversing the same spot, found a child lately murdered, with some large pins stuck into its brain. This discovery spread among the neigh bourhood, and soon reached the shepherd's ears, who from that moment to the present, had no ' doubt in his own mind that he had seen the wraith of the murdered infant. Every effort was made to discover the mother, but in vain. Many a woman in the neighbourhood was examined, but no trace of the delinquent could be dis covered. Suspicion no doubt did attach to an in dividual, but nothing definite was ever proved against her ; and thus the most unnatural crime, and one of the most destructive which one member of society can perpetrate against another, passed without punishment ; and a wretch more cruel than Medea, animated by the passions of a fiend, was allowed to prowl among the haunts of men in undisturbed security, and, it may be, was afterwards united to a man of decent cha racter, a►►d enjoyed the external comforts of a Scottish matron. But within there must have been an agent at work to blast her happiness, and freeze her soul with horror—the harbinger of " the worm that dieth not."—Glasgotu Free Press. The Colombian Minister had a long confe rence with the Earl of ABERDEEN, on Saturday morning, at the office of the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. After the conference, the Earl of ABERDEEN visited Mr. Secretary PEEL previous to the Right Hon. Gentleman's departure for Windsor, to attend the KING. In the after noon► the Russian Ambassador and the French Charge d'Affaires had a conference with the Earl of ABERDEEN, at the Foreign-office, which lasted near two hours. The Austrian Ambassador had also a long interview with the Noble Earl on Saturday. FRICES OF STOCKS THIS Bank stock 3 per Cent. Red. PAN% 3 per Cent. Cons. 883 %is 3!,', per Cent .
