COMMON COUNCIL. Yesterday the Lord Mayor held a Court of Com m9ir Council. THE LATE MR. SRELTON'S OFFICES. The LORD MAYOR had to inform the Court of the deceas e of a very valuable officer and excellent man--Thomas Shelton, Esq.; in consequence of which event, vacancies had occurred in several very 111113° r ( ant offices; amongst which were those of Clerk of the Peace for London and Southwark, Coroner for London and Southwark, Registrar of the Lord Mao's Court, and Clerk of the Arraign faiLondo y n. r and Middlesex.lt ' was absolutely ne s - cesmry that the offices of Coroner, and Clerk of the Peace, Should:be instantly filled up, for there were several bodies already upon which inquests must be held, and, as the Sessions commence to-morrow, the atteridance of a Clerk of the Peace was also necessary. Mr. Deputy ROUTH suggested that Mr. New man, the City Solicitor, be appointed Coroner pro tempore. Mr. WESTWOOD seconded the motion.—Agreed to. Deputy Rourn observed, that the office of Re gistrar of the Lord Mayor's Court had, he under stood, formerly been attached to, and, indeed, form ed part of the duties of the Town Clerk. It had been separated from it some years ago, and given to the late Mr. Shelton ; but he saw no reason why it should not now be sent back again, and the amount of the fees he deducted from the salary at present Paid to the Town Clerk.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. R. L. JONES could not see why the two offices should be separated, when it appeared that the Town Clerk was the proper person to per form the duties. The TOWN CLERK explained. After a long desultory discussion, in the course of which Mr. Tickner, Sir James' Shaw, Alderman Lucas, Mr. JuPls' Mr. Legg, 'Mr. Stevens, and others took part, it was arranged that it should be referred to a Committee to inquire into the duties of, and the necessary qualifications for, the several offices now vacant; and also to inquire into the amount of the respective fees; and that the Town Clerk Mayo t. p s i : erform the duties of Registrar of the Lord n the mean time. Alderman LUCAS presented a petition from Mr. John Clark, the nephew and assistant of the late Thomas Shelton, Esq., praying to be appointed to succe e d to the situation of Clerk of the Peace. The Worthy Alderman, without wishing to preju dice any other applicant, could not help observing that he had in his hands letters from the Lord Chief Justice of the Court of King's Bench, and !tom various ethers of his Majesty's Judges, bear ample testimony to the qualifications of Mr. Mr. ''ark for the office, as also for that of Clerk of the Arr a i gns. After some discussion,_ it was agreed that the mo tion .h , otu u stand that Mr. Clark be appointed to the ( Ace of Clerk of the Peace during the pleasure of the Court, subject to such restrictions and regula tullts as . the Court might hereafter think proper to To this an amendment was moved, that the election be pro tempore. The amendment was negatived, and the original In° titm carried, and Mr. Clark was unanimously elected. '• SECONDARIES' OFFICE. r.

The annual general meeting of the proprietary of Drury-lane Tlieatre was held in the Saloon yester day, to receive a statement of accounts, elect corn mitte2-men, &c. Among the persons present were Sir Edward Codrington, the Lion. Douglas Kin naird, Mr. Soane, Sir George Duckett, &c. Mr. CALCRAFT, M.P., took the Chair. Mr. DUNN read the report of the general committee. The CHAIRMAN said the report would speak for itself. The only thing in which it differed from the reports latterly made was, that a remission of rent was recommended, amounting to 1,8001., to the lessee. This remission had been recommended on account of the unproductiveness of the last season, and under the peculiar circumstances it was wise aad politic to remit the proceeds of the thirty-six additional nights. The committee were perfectly satisfied with the conduct of the lessee, and thought it but right to recommend the remission. The state of the affairs of Drury-lane Theatre were not to be compared with those of other establishments. Since the committee had got rid of the management, the proprietary had derived 10,0001. per annum from the theatre, making a sum paid in the last ten years of not less than 100,0001. to the shareholders—(hear, hear)—over and above the sum paid for manage. ment. He hoped the report would be unanimously agreed to. In answer to a question, Mr. G. ROBINS stated, that the is. 3d. per night paid to new renters were already deposited at the bankers, and would be paid on application. The CHAIRMAN—The remission will only affect the bondholders. Every other claim on the theatre had been or would be paid. To the bondholders a per centage of 10 per cent. would be paid, reducing the debt from 24,0001. to 9,5001. A Proprietor alladed to the statement of the Chairman relative to the abatement to Mr. Price, and asked if there were not securities for the rent, and if Mr. Price wanted an abatement of rent ? Mr. ROBINS said Mr. Price had not asked for any abatement of rent. Mr. GREGORY complained of the proposed abate ment of 1,800/., as no sufficient cause had been shown for such a proceeding. If such sums were so disposed of, the bondholders might wait long enough for any return for the money advanced to build the theatre. With respect to the outlay for the sewers, that might be proper ; but he could not support the remission of 1,800/., merely because Mr. Price had performed his engagements. He would oppose such an improvident grant. The CHAIRMAN was sorry the Hon. Proprietors should think it proper to use so strong a term. The Committee, looking at the unprecedented low state of theatrical property, and on an enlarged view, had, after many meetings, thought proper to recommend the abatement. They were not anxious to part with money already in their possession, but thought it prudent to prevent the theatre again coming into the market; and if that were the case, be should be glad to know where they would find a man to take the theatre, unless at a reduction of a considerable amount in the rent. 'With respect to the 840/. ex pended in the formation of sewers, such outlay had greatly benefited the theatre, rendering the founda tion secure, and doing away with the chance of the loss of life by the rotting of the ropes connected with the machinery by damp. Mr. GREGORY did not mean to pass any censure en the Committee, neither did he complain of the outlay of the 8401., but he had heard nothing to in duce him to agree to the remission of 1,800/. to Mr. Price. Mr. GEORGE ROBINS said he felt it necessary to make one or two observations on what had fallen from the Worthy Proprietor opposite. That Gentle man was a frequent visitor of the Theatre, and he had, doubtless, observed that, notwithstanding all the spirited exertions of the Lessee, the Theatre suffered in common with all others during the last season. In fact, since the month of February, the Lessee had lost several thousand pounds ; and the Committee, without in the slightest pledging them selves, or intending to make any reduction in the annual rent, felt, after repeated discussions and in quiries, that the most politic course they could adopt, and the course the most advantageous to the future interests of the Proprietors, would be to re mit the rent of the 36 nights alluded to in the Re port. This they did, as the Right Hon. Gentle man in the Chair very properly observed, under a sense of the pressure of the times, of the competi tion produced by the number of theatres, and of their sense of the advantages which the Proprietors obtained from having such a tenant as Mr. Price. If, as the worthy Chairman observed, they were to insist upon the strict fulfilment of their bond, and have the Theatre thrown on their hands, where, he would ask, could they, at the present moment, hope to find a tenant for Drury-lane ?—(Hear, hear.) Mr. GREGORY said they had, he knew, many offers made to them. Mr. Rot - um—Not one of the offers was worth a straw. Mr. GREGORY--Yes ; but you have had offers. - . Mr. RomNs—As the worthy Proprietor presses this point so strongly, I must take leave to say, that the very highest acceptable offer we had was not within more than 2,0001. of the rent now paid by Mr. Price.—(Hear, hear.)—lf they insisted upon the payment of the rent, they might, it was true, pay themselves for a season or two, but at the end of that time they would be compelled to look about for another tenant, while they would say to Mr. Price, " Now we have got all we can out of you, you may go about your business." He was sure this was not the way the Proprietors of Drury-lane wished to conduct themselves toward the lessee, and he was confident they would, from deliberate consideration, approve of the course pursued on this occasion by the committee.—( Hear, hear.) —Mr. Price did not ask or expect any permanent reduc tion He merely require] a slight remission on a season which had proved singularly unfortunate, and which, notwithstanding all the energy and enter prise he displayed, had proved since February ex ceedingly unproductive. It was worthy of remark too, and with that he would conclude, that Mr. Price did not, like some other persons, go on pay ing the rent, and running into debt at the same time with all the tradesmen who supplied the theatre. On the contrary, he paid every one weekly, and at the present moment he could say, with confidence, that Mr. Price did not owe a single shilling con nected with Drury-lane Theatre.—(Applause.) — Such a tenant was worth retaining, and he would conclude by expressing a hope that the proprietors would agree with the committee in the propriety of the slight remission which they made to his losses, and the more readily when they contrasted the state of their property with that of Covent-garden Theatre, and every other theatre in the metropolis, Mr. PRICE said that he (lid not ask the remission of the 1,8001. because the last season had been very bad, and because he had lost thousands. He took the theatre at 10,6001. with its patent rights. These rights had been infringed, and had not been protected properly. All the theatres round Lon don had tended to his disadvantage by such infrae• tion. He was willing to go on the same terms as heretofore, but the remission in this instance ought to be made. Mr. GREGORY said, another topic had been started, the infraction of patent rights. He be. lieved that the late action against Mr. Price, in the case of Mr. Farren, was the real cause of Mr. Price requiring the remittal of the 1,8001. Mr. Pateg denied this, and said it was improper to discuss that question, as it )yas now pending in a court of law. The report was then adopted, otily ene dissentient voice being against it. The vacancies in the ge neral Cormittee were filled up, and the meeting adjourned. PORTSMOUTH, JULY 12.—1 t is impossible that the carThbrea castle can be got off, ber back being broken.

At a meeting of the friends of Parliamentary Re form, in the city of Chichester, on Friday, June 5, present Lord Nugent, M.P., Otway Cave, Esq. M.P., C. Sinclair Cullen, Esq., Rev. J. Fullag.tr, '3 - times Powell, Esq., &c. &c. the following Resolu tions were unanimously agreed to : Resolved-1. That extreme difficulties and inconve nience are the consequence of the unintelligible laws of qualification for county voters, and enormous and needless expences to candidates and constituents are caused by the distance of voters from the single place of polling. That there is a great disproportion between the number of Re presentatives- for different counties and their respective population. That the Representation of Scotland, both as to its boroughs and its counties, is a mere mockery, there being fewer voters for the whole forty-five Scotch Members than there are for the city of Bristol alone. That many boroughs with very small population return Mem bers to Parliament, and many boroughs of very large po pulation return Members by the choice only of a very small portion of their inhabitants. That some boroughs, with out any inhabitants at all, return Alembers, and many towns of immense population return no Members at all. That the result is, as is said in the petition presented to the House of Commons by Earl Grey in the year 1793, that for every person who has a right to vote, there are at least two hundred who are deprived of that right, and that a majority of the House is returnel by about 15,000 elec tors, out of a male adult population of not less than three millions. 2. That, therefore, it is expedient to establish a Society, for restoring to the people their legitimate influence in the House of Commons, of which, by their own neglect, and by the encroachments of many, the people have been deprived. 3. That the attainment of our objects will be promoted by the diffusion of political knowledge through the extensive circulation of pamphlets and newspapers devoted to liberal principles, and by the encouragement of public Meetings and Societies in all the towns and counties in the United Kingdom, for the purpose (to borrow the sentiment of the Marquis of Anglesea) of a continual constitutional agita tion of these questions. 4. That the objects may be further promoted by exciting the people to a disinterested exercise of their franchise in those places where they still retain some influence, and by the protection and indemnification of those who may be sufferers by their patriotic conduct. 5. That for all these purposes an Annual Fund should be raised by subscription, to be at the disposal of the Reform Society. 6. That it is expected, that in the United Kingdom, 50,000 persons may be found ready to subscribe to the foregoing purposes-2s. 6d. a quarter, or 10s. a year, pro ducing 25,0001. per annum, and which, in the course of four years, would amount to 100,0001.—a fund sufficient to make considerable progress in the Cause of Reform. 7. That we, the Reformers of Chichester, think it our duty to recommend to the other Represented and Unrepre sented Towns in our County to appoint Public Meetings or Dinners, for the promotion of the Cause of Reform, and to offer our co-operation at those Meetings or Dinners to the Friends of Reform in those places. S. That the foregoing Resolutions be printed, and signed by the Chairman, and communicated to the principal friends of Parliamentary Reform in the United Kingdom, parti cularly in the cities of London and Westminster. C. S. CULLEN, Chairman. A gentleman (Mr. COMERFORD) of Kil larney, while fishing on the Lake of Waterville, killed an extraordinary salmon, weighing 571-lbs., which, when opened, was found to contain in its maw a small can nister of LAMBKIN'S snuff, and a part of an epaulette : how it got there it the question, but of the fact there is no doubt.— Cork Constitution. There is at present in operation in the new Act for the Government of friendly societies (10th Geo. IV. cap. 56) a provision which is of great importance to them, and which is very little known. The 31st section provides that, any society established under the authority of this Act, may pay into the cashiers of the Bank of England any sum not less than 501. for which they will derive the same interest that is given to the Savings' Bank, viz. 3/. 16s. Old. per cent., and this investment will give 10s. or 11s. per cent. more as interest than will be given by any Savings' Bank, as the Savings' Banks usually deduct such an amount as may be adequate to defray expenses. So cieties which were enrolled under the authority of the former Act of the 59th Geo. 111. cap. 128, prior to July, 1828, are still allowed interest at the rate of three pence per diem per cent. or 4/. I Is. 3d. per annum. Any fraudulent investment of monies not belonging to benefit societies is subjected to forfeiture. But before an account can be opened for any benefit society, it will be necessary to prove, at the office for the reduction of the national debt, in the Old Jewry, that the Society has been enrolled agreeably to the Acts. Mr. SHELTON, the Clerk of the Peace, the Clerk of the Arraigns, the Registrar of the Lord Mayor's Court, and Coroner for the city of London, recently de ceased, was a man of singular habits. Amongst other pe culiarities which, he possessed in as strong a degree as an other Coroner for an adjacent county, was an intense feel ing of dislike to give pain by any applications for money owing to him. The Government has during the last twenty years been a debtor to him for his services, as he could never bear to make up his accounts. A short time since he was urged to make them up, and send them in. They were' with his consent made up, and only awaited his inspection, but this he could never he prevailed upon to - give, and they must now be settled by his executors. In another case he had performed considerable service to a private trust in the city, which in consequence became in debted to him in a considerable amount. He was, from time to time, urged to send in his bill ; but he as often delayed it. When another application was made to 141, he said, " Well, if you will give meche q ue firBool., I will give yourecaipi in full." "We must not do that," said the parties, "for we cannot owe you less than 1,0001. and you must send in your account." " Then," said he, " you must settle it with my executors ;" and the account yet remains open. He was a bachelor, and he is never theless supposed to have died very rich. He wc,s rcmatied as one of the moat itilli3pende4'3 men in the corporation. He never asked a fav;nir of his superiors ; he never de viated one step from his path of duty to perform a favour for them. The despatch of business by his clerks was re gular and able, and the establishment, it is understood ; will remain undisturbed, 'he following is an extract of a letter from gentleman in the medical profession, who went out to Van Dieman's Land in the year 1821, dated Hobart Town, Feb. 25, 1829 :—" We have no news here, unless that we are one and a ll i n a s t a t e o f b an k ru ptcy, and that ivr, ar y • , living in a s t a t e o f t h e greates t a I C .- tril c9nseiftiedce 1;e deprOations and drea.dful Murders committed on the settlers bY'the native bladcs.

NEWMARKET JULY MEETING. NEWMARKET, MONDAY NIGHT. We subjoin a fen• additional particulars of this day's races JtU.Y STAKES.--The odds fluctuated considerably fro:. Sunday af ernoon to the starting. At one time Lord Cleveland's Waltz colt was backed freely at 5 and 6 to I ; and it may be credited that there was some disap pointment when he was declared not to start. Lord An son's, Lord Exeter's, and Sir M. Wood's horses were also backed to a considerable amount, the two last-named being quoted before starting at 2 to 1 each, and the other at 4 to 1. Cobweb at 10 to 1, Envoy at 12 to 1, and Arno ret at 20 to 1, had no friends. Very little is called for in the way of description, the Mummer being decidedly the best horse throughout the race. He had a lead from the beginning, Lord Anson's and Lord Jersey's lying next him, and then Mr. Wilson's ; but on coming down the hill it was clear that he was winning easy : to snake all sure, Robinson tickled him with the spur and flourished the whip, winning very easy by a length. Nothing hail a chance except those named above. Lord Anson's rode by Arnull, Lord Jersey's ny G. Edwards, Mr. Wilson's by Chiffney, The Witch colt by Conolly, Amoret by Wakefield, Advance by Dockery, and Envoy by Wheatley. Value of the stakes 925/. The 10 sovereign sweepstakes did not excite much in terest. The odds were 2to 1 agst Caradori (who beat Green Mantle in one of the spring meetings), 5 to 2 agst Magawiska, 4 to 1 agst Windfall, and 6 to 1 agst Au gusta. Magawiska (F. Boyce) made the running, fol lowed by Caradori, the others being well laid up. When near home, Caradori let loose, and won easy by a length ; rode by John Day, Lord Anson's by Arnull, Emilina by Edwards, Lord Exeter's by Dockery, Peablossom by Wakefield, Windfall by Conolly, Verderer by Wheatley, Lord Jersey's by Robinson, and Careful by a lad. TUESDAY EVENING. At the Jockey Club dinner last night were Lord Lowther, Lord Verulam, Lord George Bentinck, Lord Southampton, Lord G. 11. Cavendish, Lord Jersey,. Sir ill. Wood, Mr. Roberts, and about half-a-dozen other members. Amongst the departures to-day are the Marquis and Marchioness of Cleveland, Marquis of Worcester, Lord G. H. Cavendish, and Mr. Paulett. Previous to the races today, the following racing stock was brought to the hammer : Bay colt, 2 yrs old, by Cervantes, d. by Walton, out of Calypso, engaged in the Prendergast and Newmarket Stakes, knocked down to Lord Worcester for 50 guineas.

SPARRING AT THE TENNIS COURT. Simon Byrne and Toni Reynolds took a benefit at the Tennis Court yesterday, and notwithstanding the unfavour able state of the weather, bad an overflowing attendance of some of the most respectable patrons of the Ring, in cluding several of high rank. The setting-to, although very few of the old members of the ring ventured on the stage, was amusing, anti gave general satisfaction. The competitors set-to in the following order : SHEEN AND GATES. —TWO good little ones. Sheen had the advantage from the straightness of his hitting. NED MURPHY AND APGREGOR. —These are also small men, but their style of milling entitled them to be ranked among the great. The fierce and fearful jobbing of Murphy was met by the steady and heavy punches of M'Gregor, who is a tailor, a pupil of Jem Burns, and a young fellow of very promising talent. THE IRISH GAS-MAN AND BROWN THE BAKER.-- Had it been the " real thing," Gas would, no doubt have shone triumphant. ALICK Ruin, the Chelsea Snob, and Deaf BURKE then took the gloves. KENNEDY, the Irish Wrestler, and BL ACK set-to with great spirit, although with little science; and Black con trived, by the rapidity and force of his blows, to draw Kennedy's cork in good style. FITZMADRICE and JENNINGS had a regular " glove mill." Fitzmaurice took the lead in hitting, and soon drew the purple stream from Jennings's smaller. Jen nings in consequence became intemperate, and invariably rushing in and catching his opponent round the neck, pre vented the execution which would otherwise have taken place. He at last had recourse to wrestling, but here be was foiled, for Fitzmaurice floored him every time be at tempted to throw. On taking off the gloves he made a demonstration for some hostile proceedings, for which Fitz maurice was perfectly prepared, but the interference of the " Master of the Ceremonies" prevented the indecorum. TOM REYNOLDS and Tom OLivEit next showed off to advantage. TO3I SPRING and SIMON BYRNE lastly mounted the stage, and were received with loud and reiterated plaudits. In point of length, Spring bad an obvious advantage over Byrne, which was perceptible throughout the set-to. Still the stopping and quick returns of Byrne were excellent ; and regarding Spring, as we do, as a perfect master of the art, we were not a little surprised to see him have so little the advantage of " the Gun." Both did their best, and a finer exhibition of the art of self-defence has seldom been witnessed. At the conclusion of the games, Byrne returned thanks for the very liberal manner in which lie had been sup ported, and expressed a hope that neither in nor out of the Ring he would ever do anything to fotleit the public favour. CHALLENGES. In the course of the proceedings, Byrne Laid he was pre pared to make a match with any man in the world for 3001. " There he was to be seen ; and, take him as he was, he did not care whom he fought, but he would not reduce his weight." MonGAN, formerly called " Josh Hudson's black," and who was on board the Cor4 .791y,4 Bast Indiaman when she was wrecked ()lithe Isle of Wight, immediately mounted the stage, and said he would be moat happy to fight Mr. Byrne ; and:added, that he was sure his friends would back him for 2001. Byrne said he was ready to make the match whenever it suited Morgan's convenience. YOUNG DUTCH SAm was ready to give a stone to any man in the country, and make a match for noi. a-side; and if Byrne would reduce himself to I,4st, 411a5., he would fight him for the same sum. HA nal go, A , waa really to match a nine stone man against any ti - 4ng" living, and give half a stone, for any sum, from 2001. to 600/. It was understood he meant Dick Curtis, who has but just recovered from a fit of the gout, and who was in Court wearing list boots, and looking ;,ny thing but fit for fighting. ALICE REID repeated 1i a. chaiknge to Preston, of Bir mingham, for Ip):: aside, to fight half way between Bir inii:giiarn 'and London, provided he would not exceed eleven stone—or, if he would fight him within 30 milts of Lon don, he might weigh as heavy as Big Brown, There is not at present a sin le z - rati;c4 made in the milling circles, but " ei - war" are afloat. Brun McmgAN...--A meeting took place between thew man 14st night, at the Castle Tavern, Holborn, when Morgan's " needful" not being forthcoming, it was mutu ally agreed that they should again meet to-root:Foy eve ning, at the same house, to " post the. r,onei ;" with which Morgan said, he I:upetllK, sii,4l4ld . be fully prepared. A REEF NEAR REVAL STONE.—Extract of a letter from the agent to Lloyd's at Reval, dated \ lune' 27 :—" The Admiral of the Fort has incu;;,,,,ed me that a new reef has been disc )vere, a verst to the eastward of the Reval '416 reef is four fathoms in length, iwo . ana a half broad, and only nine feet below water."

All accounts now conspire in affirming that the late successes of the Russians have been con- siderable. It is an old proverb that speaks of the uncertainty of war ; and it is impossible for us, at this distance from the scene and subject of our remarks, to explain why tl►e campaign of tl►e Russians was so indecisive last year, as to leave the preponderance doubtful between the con tending armies, and why the invaders have been so successful at the commencement or the pre- sent campaign, as to leave the invaded their best hope in the moderation of their enemies. At least we are now certain that the Russians hold this out as the best hope to the Turks, whether the latter be pleased to accept it as such or not. A negotiation we have no doubt has been opened or offered. The consideration of the war be- tween Russia and Turkey is of a mixed character. Had the Russians been repelled, the pretensions of the Porte with respect to Greece would have been unbounded ; and we, with our allies, must either have been content to see the Greeks fall into their ancient slavery, or must have resolved to maintain their cause by force of arms. Now Russia has, to a degree, succeeded, if she be willing to abridge her own claims, she may in a proportionate degree stipulate, not for any ro mantic scheme, any beautiful theory of a free government for the Greeks, but for some national and solid advantages to the people of that once illustrious, but now fallen race. And this is all. _ _ for which France and Great Britain ever pledged ;hemselves. Nations must not. fight to realize ;he dreams of half-educated school-boys.— Times. A speech made by General Sebastiani in the Chamber, suggested to us a hint in yesterday's Times, upon the indiscretion manifested by cer tain individuals of a defeated and ruined French' party, whenever they found, or could force, an opportunity of making allusion to Great Britain. We had not, until after our paragraph was writ- . . ;en, any discourse before us of the same objec tionable character with that of General Sebastiani. But one delivered by another Buonapartist orator —namely, General Lamarque—was subsequently made known to us, and published in our last number. We are at some loss to know how or where these men learned to be orators. While that selfish tyrant lived, whom they served, one and all, with dastardly servility, but whom England grappled with, and finally destroyed, not one of them, from right to left,—not an in dividual moustache among them,—durst articu late or move, but as a puppet, worked by the showman's wires. Why, if the Corsican but bent an eye upon one of them, they would skulk and run, as they did invariably when an Eng ' lish bayonet was wielded by an English arm too near them. This General Lamarque ought, in common gratitude, to worship the very name of England for restoring to him the liberty of speech. Why should he pule over the dis graceful fall of Buonaparte, unless be longs for the occasion of being again enrolled among the slaves of an ambitious and restless despot, with whom human lives were but counters to mark the progress of his bloody game, lawsbut as bul rushes before the tempest of his humour, .and nations the victims of that sordid and devouring appetite which he gulled his own unhappy sub jWe should think that France had been pretty ects by representing as the" glory of France . A well satiated with such glory as that upon which she was fed for a dozen years by Buonaparte, and which it is the aim of General Lamarque, if his discourse has any serious object, once more to inflict upon his country. The plain con struction of this man's language is, that he burns for another war with Great Britain,— that he anticipates from a naval contest the destruction of her fleet, and from a descent upon her shores, an absolute conquest of tlw., country. General Lamarque, amidst other learning, must have learned to forget a great deal. Ho cannot have read of the many wars which have heretofore been carried on be tween France and England, since he draws con clusions from the recurrence of hostilities, which could only be justified by speculating on t . l- ., e experiment as a new one, or by reasomni! , some what oddly upon those which have b een made already. We will not use the name of France in a manner to belie our own feelings, which are those of respect for her pcmer when well em ployed, and of sincere admiration for her talents, accomplishments, h courage, and her virtues. But we may be permitted t o as k, w i t h regar d to certain riders in France, who had been look ed upon in their day as men of some capacity and prowess, what impression have they ever made upon the naval or military power of Eng land, by the exercise of force for her overthrow. Did Louis XIV. succeed in humbling Eng land ? Did a greater thaA Louis Buonapaite, however violent, even to 0 - ,, renzy , his attacks upon he r ,— ga i n a during his 10 years of trial, n of which saw gle victory, him directing with do restraint but his own plea sure the whole militpL y and marine resources of that great cn n t r y, of which the moral re sources were paralyzed by him or extinguished, Buonaparte, we say, gain a single victory — nay, the most paltry advantage over Great Britain, by sea or land, during all these years of conflict, hand to hand, when he had reduced the whole civilized world, but England, to be mute specta tors of the struggle ? This one truth is enough, not only to illustrate the past, but to warn and enlighten most reasoning men for the future.— We say nothing of France, but we affirm of Buonaparte,, with the ingenious and talkative General Lamarque to help him, that neither he nor his Generals, nor hia Admirals, nor his soldiers, nor his sailors,, ever fought with thu-sa of England, but to he signally and completely beaten ! What, th?n, would M. Larnarqu© have ? Does he want to be again thrashed soundly ? We trust he will not prevail on vristr heads than his own, to provoke anotlttr contest between two brave nations, who have no interest—posi , tively none—not the slightest—in being on any terms but tb...se of the most cordial friendship.— So it was " terror" thatinductd England to build • maitello castles on her shores t And what leads any power to raise faaresses for her protection? What made nuonaparte cover every rock and inlet d 1,500 miles of Freah sea coast with batteries ? That, to be sure, was not from dread of British seamen !. Again, we are told, or it is shrewdly implied, that steam sea.- . manship may be so, much more easily acquired by French than by English mariners, as to afford a fair pospect of destroying by that means the maritime superiority of England ! Has, any cool observer, who reads this journal, ever had the opportim4y of comparing a French steam , boat---even a Calais or Boulogne packet—with an English one ?—and if so, we shall just quietly ask him, with which wssel, navigated by natives of her own cou n try, he would like better to trust himself in a g a l e o f w i n d ? Y e t of these very steamers, it appears upon the showing of a French Minister of Marine, England has be
