()ti the starboard side in the position he was In. She could not fire any of her larboard guns without imminent risk to the allied ships. In the first place the Asia was close to her, completely covering Moharim Bey. Under the flying jib-boom there was a little French schooner, another French schooner was just beyond her, and the rrident, a French line-of-battle ship; and, finally, the French Admiral, the Sirene, who anchored between the first and second ships of the Egyptian line; and therefore it was iinpossible that the Genoa could fire her aftermost guns on her larboard side at any of those ships be men- As to what happened on her starboard, side, he is not able to speak so precisely. When he did observe her she was always engaged with her after guns on her elVonent, a Turkish line-of-battle ship. By the COURT—He hardly thinks that the ship of the Capitan Bey could tire into the Genoa. At that distance of time it was extremely difficult to remember the rela tive situations of the ships. Captain Ouamaney's evidence was corroborative of the last witness, Captain Cul ion. Commander Ilormisox was then called, and wished to correct a part of his testimony ; but The PRESIDENT. after some other observations, ad journed the question on the propriety of allowing him to do so until to-morrow. The Court was about to rise, when Captain Dickenson begged to address them; but time will not al!ow us to give his observations. Sir Henry Blackwood told him they would be better reserved for his defence. The Court adjourned until mine o'clock to-morrow. RRIVAL OF THE EMPRESS OF BRAZIL. At half -past seven o'clock on Thursday morning the steam-boat conveying the Empress of Brazil and suite,• was seen off Spithead, where she soon after arrived, amid a royal salute from the Brazilian squa dron in the harbour of Portsmouth. Her Majesty immediate quitted the steamboat, and hoisted her flag on board the Izabel, the frigate which is de stined to convey her to Rio de Janeiro, escorted by the two others from the Emperor of the Brazils, which have been for some time stationed at Ports mouth. The Empress, who had left Ostend on Tuesday night, had had a very boisterous passage to our shores, and was rather unwell after the voyage. On being received on board the Izabal, her flag was hoisted, and upon its appearance the ships of war in the harbour, the Victory, IVlelville, 4.c., re-echoed a royal salute. It being understood that the Em press•does not intend to land in England, but means to repair as quick as possible to Rio de Janeiro, the young Queen of Portugal, at half -past 11 o'clock, hastened to pay her respects to her Royal relative, and left the shore in the Government steam-boat the Lightning, with the parade of military display through the streets to the beach, .mended by a numerous suite. The weather was quite tempes tuous at the time, and as soon as the young Queen left the shore the royal salutes were recommenced by all the ships in the harbour, all the elements seemed in s co mmotion upon the occas i on . Th e w i n d roare d i n heavy squalls, and the rain poured down in torrents, with thunder and lightning. The Queen of Por tugal was received with full honours on board the Izabel, and had a cordial and affectionate meeting with her Royal mother-in-law. It is understood that the Empress and the Queen will not reland until they reach their eventual destination : but it glary so perfect a hurricane on 'I hursday night, and With the wind so entirely in the teeth of such a v oyage, it is not impossible (though highly impro 'able) that these ladies may be compelled for the I mprnent to repose upon a less oscillating element than the waters of Spithead afford in so unpropi tious a storm. From the hurry in which the pre ?arations on board the Melville ship-of-war have u een conduct e d, a nd h er p re p ara ti ons l a t e on Thurs day night to drop down to Spithead, it is thought she is intended as a further escort for the Brazilian cortege, until they shall have safely passed the neigh bourhood of Don Miguel's squadron off Terceira. On Priday the wind still blew in heavy squalls from the same unfavourable quarter, and the Brazilian ships remained at their station in the port. The following compose the suite accompanying her Imperial Majesty the Empress of Brazil : MARQUIS DE BABEACENA, Imperial Commissary for receiving and accompanying the Imperial Bride.

The interest taken in the Borrisokeen affair by the peasantry and the country at large increases every day, and the town this morning was in a state of great anxiety to know the result of another trial, which was fixed for this day. Shortly after the Judge took his seat on the Bench, James Hodgins was placed at the bar, charged with the murder of Thomas Smith, on the fair day of Borrisokeen, on the 26th of June last. James Kennedy examined—Was at the fair about five o'clock. Saw the prisoner at the bar follow some persons into the brewery-yard, and come out immediately, when he exclaimed, " I have laid one Papist low." _ _ ilere the Learned JUDGE intimated to Counsel that the witnesses on both sides should leave the Ceurt. He said he would pay no respect to rersons, and that all persons should leave the Court. Cross-examined by Mr. HaTcHELL—He was at Ledger's the time the shots were fired. A crowd passed the door; Ledger would not let them in. He prepared to leave the house. He did so because he saw Ledger jump up. It was safer for him to go tip the street than home, as there was firing on the road. By the COURT—He left Ledger's house because he laid hold of a gun. Michael Mara—Saw the 'prisoner fire a shot and knock down Thomas Smith. The evidence in this case did not materially differ from that adduced on the trial of Ledger on Friday last. The defence was nearly the same, and the Jury, after a short consultation, gave a verdict of Not Guilty. AUG. 25.—This morning Ledger was again placed on his trial for shooting at Michael Fell and Patrick Mara at Borrisoken on the 26th of June last.—The prisoner was acquitted. COVEN T-GARDEN THEATRE. Charles 11. granted to Tom Killigrew—a participator in, if not a pander to, the King's li centious pleasures—and to Sir W. Davenant, who had had a previous grant from Charles I. in 1689, full power and authority to collect two companies of players, and to purchase, build, or hire, two theatres, with all convenient rooms, &c. for the representation of tragedies, comedies, plays, operas, &c. This grant, dated Aug. 21, 1660, evidently shows that the profits were ex clusively for their personal advantage ; and this grant was, in fact, followed by full letters patent—the first to Sir W. Davenant, dated January 15, 1662 ; the second, dated the 25th of April, in the same year, to Thomas Killigrew, of Covent-garden, Esq. Davenant's was thereby constituted the Duke of York's company, and Killigrew's the King's. The latter commenced under this authority at Drury lane Theatre, on Thursday in Easter week,' April 8, 1663. Davenant continued at Dorset garden. In 1682 there w as a j unct i on o f t h e two companies; disputes arose, and in 1684, on the accession of James 11., by the King's recom mendation to heal those differences, there being then no Duke of York, the interest of both patents lapsed into one, under the title of " his Majesty's Servants." But the confusion into which all theatrical matters had fallen by the struggles of conflicting interests at the commencement of the last century induced Government to prevent those in future by an Order in Council, which granted a license, " during our pleasure, and no longer," to Swin ney, Dogget, Wilks, and Cibber, dated Nov. 6, 1710, 9th Anne. This licence particularly states that all former patents and powers granted were thereby revoked, and rendered null and void. George I. granted a licence, dated Oct. 18, 1714, to Steele, Wilts, Cibber, Dogget, and Booth, to form constitute, and establish a company of come di ans i n t h e Th ea t re in Drury-lane ; but this was also revoked by the Lord Chamberlain, on the 25th day of January, 1719 ; since which time Drury-lane theatre has been opened by licenses granted for stated periods; and Covent-garden theatre origi nally opened in despite of authority, has con tinued to act under sufferance only. The late It. B. Sheridan possessed the original document of Charles 11. a patent, with the broad seal, &c. attached, but he knew it had no power. He talked pompously of it, for the purpose of astounding those of whom he wished to raise money, and who were ignorant of its impotent effect. If it were otherwise, why did Sheridan covenant to pay to Mr. Mash 3001. per annum during the term of the present license under which Drury-lane Theatre is now opened—it commenced Sept. 2, 1826, and ter minated in 1827 ? The legality of the de mand of 3001. last year, was questioned by the lessee ; but Mr. Mash put an execution into the house and the customary fee was paid. Mr. Fawcett's assertion of any patent granting cer tain privileges to Covent-Garden Theatre is, therefore, erroneous. If they have a patent, where is it ? Is it in the Lord Chamberlain's Office ? No. With regard to patents, there is an unrepealed Act, which precludes the kingly power granting licenses for more than twenty one years. This factis incontestable. Lord Chancellor Thurlow pointed it out previous to 1800, when Sh er id an was endeavouring to raise money to rebuild Drury-lane Theatre. Mr. OTWAY CAVE, the talented and patri otic Alember for Leicester, has been frequently seated with the Judge; in the Crown Court, during this extraordinary and eventful Assizes; he has generally waited for the ter mination of each important trial to the latest hours, and appeared to feel the most intense interest in the proceed ings—he will no doubt bear in mind, when in his place in Pdrliament, the: condition of this county, his manly and constitutional independence lead to this conclusion, ex clusive of which, his possessing an estate of upwards of 5,000/. per annum, in this county, must necessarily give him deep solicitude for every thing connected with it.— Tipperary Free Press.

GUILDHALL. lcn Burke, otherwie Hackett, and Margaret O'Brien, two young Irishwomen, who lodge in Buil-court, Tooley-street, were charged with steal ing a pocket-book, containing 401., from the person of Mr. Surer, a rag-merchant, in Rose-lane, Lime house; and Francis Hackett and John Mahony were charged with being accessaries after the fact. The prisoners were remanded. BOW-STP,EET. Yesterday Thomas Tulle, an itinerant hawker of tracts and pamphlets, was charged by Mrs. Sophia Coleman, of Turnham-grecn, with killing her dog with a pitchfork, and attempting to stab herself with the same weapon. Mrs. Coleman having been sworn, deposed that about three days ago the defendant came to her house, and coming round to the back door, where she was standing, asked her to purchase some of his pamphlets. She told him she did not want any, and he then wanted to force his way into the house, saying that she had no right to prevent him from ranking an honest penny. At this moment her little dog came to the door, and began to bark at the de fendant, upon which he kicked it with his foot. The animal-became enraged at this, and bit him in the leg. The defendant ran at the dog in a great fury, and, to save the poor little animal from the effects of hi; anger, she (the complainant) caught it tip in her arms, and ran into the house, closing the door after her. The defendant muttered some threats of future vengeance, and went away. She saw no more of him until that morning, when he came armed with a pitchfork, and running at the dog, which happened to be playing in front of the house, he stabbed it three times in the side with the pitchfork, and killed it upon the spot. She (the complainant) endea voured to interpose, upon which the defendant made a thrust at her with the pitchfork. Fortunately, however, the blow fell short, and merely grazed her handkerchief, or else, in all likelihood, she should have shared the fate of her dog. She then sent for a constable, to whom she gave charge of the de fendant. Sir RICHARD BIRNIE observed that the defendant had been guilty of a most wanton and cruel act, and wished to know if he had any thing to urge in his defence ? Your Worship (replied the defendant) in a puritanical tone of voice, at the same time ele vating his chin, and extending his right arm after the manner of a field-preacher, I protest to you that every word which this woman has spoken is as re mote from truth as the Poles are asunder. I never attempted to force my way into her house, and as for a premeditated attack upon an helpless animal, I declare, upon the word of an upright Christian, that I had no such intention. Sir R. BIRNIE—Then you deny having killed the dog? Not so, your Worship, but self-defence is the first principle of nature, and upon that I acted. The animal attacked me with all the fury of its species, and how could I tell that it was not in a rabid state at the time, and that my life might not have been sacrificed to its vengeance ? Sir RICHARD BIRNIE—But what do you say to the blow which you aimed at this lady ? Defendant —Upon my credit and veracity I do not think I made any attempt to strike the lady with the pitch fork ; certainly I had no thought to harm her. Sir RICHARD BIRNIE—I can tell you this, that had the blow which she has sworn you aimed at her taken effect, you would stand before me now in a very different situation. The constable who brought the charge to the office said, that the defendant had been to a smith's forge in the morning, to get the prongs of the pitch fork sharpened, in order the more effectually to put his design into execution. Sir RICHARD BIRNIE asked the defendant if he had any licence for hawking books and pamphlets ? The defendant, after some hesitation, admitted that he had not. Sir R. BIRNIE—For that you are subject to a fine of 10/., under the Hawkers' and Pedlers' Act ; and for your assault upon the lady, with a murder ous weapon, with which you had previously des patched her dog, I shall call upon you to find good bail, and to give notice of the same, in order that it may be inquired into. The prisoner was then removed from the bar, and locked up in default of bail. hIARYLEBONE. Yesterday a neat-looking old woman presented a letter to Mr. RAWLINSON, and told him at the same time she was almost destitute of the necessaries of life, in consequence of her mistress's neglect. After Mr. RAWLINSON had read the letter, he asked who the lady was. She replied, the Countess of Pomfret, and said she had lived in her Ladyship's service five years, and had the care of her town house in Portman-square.. . Mr. RAWLINSON wondered why she required his interference. Had she asked for her wages ? " I have sent about them several times," replied the old woman, " but I never get an answer, and I never see my Lady." Mr. RAWLINSON—Never see her ! Why, don't you live in the same house with her ? Old Woman —She never comes home. Mr. RAWLINSON—If she is never at home, where is she ? Old Woman—At Salt-hill—at the Castle. I mean the inn called the Castle. Mr. RAwLiNsoN— If you can't ge t your wages , why do you remain in your situation ? Old Wo man—l am left to take care of the town-house, and I don't dare go out of it. Mr. RAWLINSON told her, if she did not object, he would enclose her letter, and send it to the Countess at Salt-hill. The old woman expressed herself under great ob ligation, " for," said she, " I have not received my wages since last March two years, and have had no thing to keep me for five weeks." Samuel Fisher, the private in the 2d Regiment of Life Guards, who was charged on Tuesday night with robbing Miss Matilda Parlett of a gold watch, was brought again before Mr. GRIFFITH. There was no fresh evidence brought forward, and he was committed to Newgate for trial. Five shopkeepers were convicted in penalties of 51. each for selling table-beer, and permitting it to be drank upon their premises, contrary to the Statute 9th Geo. IV., cap. 61. The defendants thought their cases hard, and said they were unable to pay so great a sum. Mr. RAWLISSON told them he had inflicted the lowest fine prescribed by the A.ct ; and added, " it has lately been so publicly made known that infor mers are going about for the purpose of catching you, that if you are caught, I think it is your own fault. A gentleman present pointed out to the Magis trate a clause in the Statute, which gave him the power of deciding whether the informer should re ceive any part of the penalty or not. (The 26th section.) Mr. RAWLINSON said he was obliged to him for directing his attention to it. He felt great doubt whether he ought to hand over any part of the money to those who 14pon their oath declared it their object to draw persons into the offence, and he should take time to consider lto►v these lines should be ap propriated, WORSHIP-STREET. Yesterday James 11lawby, clerk to Mr. George Henry Chi!coat, of No. 3, Bond -court, Walbrook, attorney, was placed at the bar for final examination on a charge of conspiring, with another person un known, to throw John Beazley into prison, upon a pretended debt of 1001., sworn 'to be'due to a person named Fisher. . • A solicitor attended to defend the prisoner. The depositions previously taken having been read over, Mr. Bodd y, f rom the Bill of Middl esex o ffi ce, produced th e p rec i pe and g idav i t upon which the writ against Beazley issued, but he could not identify th e person who swore the affidavit, and stated that to his knowledge he had never seen the prisoner un ,iiw him in custody. 'it. , pris(nier's solii-itot i r ceedo-1 to question Mr. ; , s to iris authority to O.:- an affidavit, and from Ha, that a person no acquitted t ti e tlld Bailey when tried for pet:jury, because the appointment was not upon a proper stamp. That defect, however, was recognized by Mr. Justice Bailey and two of the Puisne Judges. Mr. BRoUGHTON observed to the attorney, that the prisoner was not there charged with perjury, but was brought there on the charge of conspiracy, and whether the instrument itself were good or not upon which complainant was incarcerated, any two per sons who should conspire and make use of it, to throw him into prison, and damnify him, would be indictable. Suppose, for instance, that two persons were to obtain the printed form of a warrant, and till it up in his (the magistrate's) name, against any other person, and the gaoler, deceived by the signa ture, were to imprison that individual, the parties would be punishable for the injury inflicted upon the individual by their conspirdey, although the instru ment itself was not worth a rush. Mr. Chilcoat being sworn, stated that the pri soner had been in his employ since last September, as his out-door clerk, at 255. a week, and had no authority to issue a writ without consulting the wit ness. The witness knew of no client named Fisher, and said that the first he knew of an action againt Beazley was upon the receipt of a note from Josephs, the sheriff's officer, announcing the exe cution of the writ. He then looked in the precipe book and saw the entry, " Wm. Jonathan Fisher against Beazley," and asked Mawby about it, who told him that it was a just and bona fide debt, and that now was the proper time to proceed, as Beaz ley had come in for a 2001. legacy. The witness said he was afterwards out of town, and heard no more of the case until he saw a report in the Times newspaper on Monday night, upon which he imme diately came to London. The writing in the precipe book and the body of the affidavit, but not the sig nature to the latter, were the prisoner's writing. Cross-examined by the prisoner's solicitor—Mr. Chilcoat said, he had not at that time any clerk but the prisoner, who had a boy under him. The pri soner was employed to transact the out-door busi ness, and was not authorized to issue a writ when the witness was not absent without consulting him. He was in London when this writ issued. Solicitor—There is another entry in the book against Beazley. Mr. Chilcoat said, that when he looked in the precipe book upon the receipt of the bailiff's note for the execution of the writ " Fisher v. Beazley," he also saw the entry of" Mawby v. Beazley," for 201. Mr. BROUGHTON—And what account did he give you of that ? Witness—He said it was for a tres pass, and that they were both entered together. Solicitor—Have you been debited for the expense of those writs ? The witness said he had not looked over the prisoner's cash-book for two or three weeks, and could not tell. Solicitor—lf instructions came from a client in the country would not he be authorized to proceed ? The witness in answer, and afterwards to a question of the Magistrate, said the prisoner would if he were absent, but he was not absent when the entry was made, and therefore the prisoner had no authority. The complainant Beazley, being desired to state all that had taken place with respect to the 20). action, said, on the evening after he had served the summons for 1/. 19s. 9d. upon the prisoner, the latter delivered to him a bill "of particulars for trespass and debt," and it was followed the next day by a copy of a writ, which he took to his attor ney, and it was put off till November. Mr. BROUGHTON—What sort of a bill was it. Did the word " trespass" appear in it ?—The wit ness said yes; it charged him with 201. trespass, and Bd. debt. The Bd. he admitted to be a just debt. Mr. BROUGHTON—And what was the trespass?— Complainant—There was an old shed in my gar den, and I pulled it down. I never let it to the pri soner or his wife, but he had a pot or a kettle in it which I turned out, and he called it a trespass. Mr. BROUGHTON—Was that stated when you were before the Commissioners ? Complainant.— Yes; I told them the whole from beginning to end, and they said to him, " What, 20/. trespass for kicking out an old pot; pay him down the money (I/. 19s. 9d.) immediately." Mr. BROUGHTON, after hearing all the evidence, said the only question had been, whether the pri soner should be charged with forgery or conspiracy, but he and his brother Magistrate, Mr. Twyford, now agreed that the prisoner should be tried for conspiracy. The prisoner was required to give bail, himself in 801., and two sureties in 401. each. UNION-HALL. TRICKING A JEW.—A venerable son of Israel, named Moses Mayer, whose beard swept his breast, and ,whose hair fell profusely upon his shoulders, white with the winter of many years, appeared yes terday to prefer a charge a., 2 :ainst a young man called IV. Gardiner under the following circumstances : Moses—Yesterday morning, please your vurship, I vash in de streets in de Mint, and vas cry " Closh, old closh, to sell," ven de young man dere comed up to me vith a hat in his hand, and say, " Moshes, I vill sell you dish hat." " How mooch you ask for it ?" I say. He say, " I vant eighteen-pence." " Veil," I say, " I viii give you von sheeling." He say, " e'er veil." I give him de sheeling, your vurship, and he give me de hat. I vash again begin to cry " Closh, closh," vhen anoder young fellar runned up to me, and say, " Give me my hat, you Jew scoundrall, it hash been stolane from me." I say, " My dear young man, I buy de hat; if you viii give me my sheeling, dere is de hat." He say, " No," and immediately seize my beard, and pull my silver spectacles off my nose, and runned away vith 'em. Here is de hat I buy, your Vurship. Mr. SWABEY—That hal is worth ten shillings. Complainant (presenting the hat to the magis strate)— Den your vurship it is yours for eighteen pence. His Worship declined purchasing. Complainant—Oh ! you von't buy it so very sheape; veil, your Vurship, I vent to look for de young man vhich sell me de hat, and I give him in de hands of a constable. My spectacles cost me sixteen shilling, but vas vorth to me as much as venty guineas. The - defendant denied all knowledge of the trans action both as to the hat and spectacles. Mr. SWABEY—As there are no witnesses to prove the charge I must acquit the prisoner ; blq I be lieve it to be a complete trick got up to cheat the old man out of a shilling. Howo.er, if the spectacles be not delivered up upon the hat being restored, tho matter shall not rest here.—The parties then 'eft the of ice, The Earl of ABERDEEN came to town yes terday morning, from his residence, at the Priory, near Stanmore.

MAGAgINE.—There is no little varioty of . an amusing nature in this periodical, which is embellished with a good engraving of Wool) t CAwsl7,, SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. We have often been amused to observe on what a slender foundation of fact an imposing structure of political conjecture or intelligence may be reared ; and were never more diverted at such a display of ingenuity than on a late occa sion, when a treaty between England and Austria, for the defence of Constantinople, was manufac tured out of a ride of Prince Esterhazy in the same carriage with the Duke of Wellington. The Duke was said to have hurried from Walmer Castle to town on political business, and, as he had not time to finish his diplomatic conference at the Foreign-office with the Prince, took him a part of the road to Walmer, to come to a final ar rangement. Now the truth is, that the Duke's visit to London on the day in question had no relation to the affairs of the East. The simple fact is, that his Grace came to London for the sake of keeping an appointment which he had made, to be present at a meeting of the Com mittee for the management of the Duke of York's monument. That business being de spatched, he immediately left town ; and as lie was pressed for time, which he well might, con sidering the distance, he preferred talking with Prince Esterhazy in his carriage to wasting his precious minutes in Downing-street. Such, we believe, is the true solution of this enigma, the key to which was conceived to be the formation of a triple alliance against Russia !—Times. The Globe Evening Paper, a few days ago, quoted the following article from the ("wither Francais, adding, in contradiction of its insinua tion, the note which now accompanies it. It had escaped us that the slander of the French journalist had been copied into any other Paper than the Globe : and we thought that the note was a sufficient antidote to such a feeble dose of malignity. Since, however, certain persons who conduct a degraded portion of the English press endeavour to give a more extensive currency . to a charge which they know well to be false, it may be proper to meet the slander by an indignant denial through our own columns, calling upon the writer of the Paris article to produce his au thority and to support his charge, or to consider himself as convicted of calumny. It may appear almost needless after this declaration to add, that when the gentleman to whom allusion is made (and to whom alone allusion could be made) was in Paris about six weeks ago, the Chambers were still sitting ; Prince Polignac wasstill in London; and no more idea was entertained of an approach ing change of Ministry than of an approaching change of dynasty. Having thus replied to one set of French opponents, we may take the op portunity of saying a few words in answer to another. The Journal des Debats and the Coil , stitutionnel,—the two journals of the most influence in France, and of the greatest circu lation over Europe,—without disgracing them selves by false charges of corruption against us, (which they know well would redound more to their own dishonour than to ours), criticise our recent articles as if we had declared ourselves the advocates of the exist ing French Ministry, and the adversaries of the last. The Debats of Tuesday last even goes so far as to take two or three articles which we in nocently enough wrote on the probable policy of the new Ministry, as the Manifesto of the Po lignac Cabinet ; and, as respects the Prince, calls our paper his " Moniteur on the other side of the water." Now the fact is, that we have never shown ourselves the partisans or opponents, of either French Ministry, and have repeatedly de clared that as Englishmen we have nothing to do with any change in the councils of France ex cept in so far as we conceive the interests of England connected with their spirit and com position. The last Ministry, appearing to us to answer all the conditions which as foreigners we could desire in the French Cabinet —namely, a disposition to cultivate peace abroad and to pro mote improvement at-home—had our support ; and all that we have done for the present is, to beg that they may be tried by their acts, and not condemned eloe f d o i .r r in t ca l: yo e; b,eiecx n tp a il loemansisensici: is r l: tret a i t sooa t r they may be allowed time for committing the error or re t r7lE t IE - 1 1 t o ciiir u )siei r lini s r e re l eds s a r o e bdo s eelfrnos with French affa;f , s, what we ima gined would be the probable I t e i l n l t o ern i a d l e po t l a y t of the new Cabinet, we our neighbours were about to ma:Le. their rulers answerable for our speculations, as if they contained an official programme of their future administration. Tho word probable, which we repeatedly employed as to the future projects of Princo Polignac, and which the Journal des Debats ironically repeats, was not with us a vain expletive. It exprossed the un certainty which we naturally feli in the correct ness of our estimate of ct course of conduct for which we had no positiie declaration, and which was merely a matter of inference drawn from the understood principles of the Royalist party , taken in connexion with notorious facts, iA the existing state of the French monarchy. It did not require the inspirati:Jn of a Cabinet, or the gift of a conjuror, tq discover and announce, s f a, e l l e t ahttahttehwme we that if the late :.'ylinistry were ejected because they were ce.nceived to have made too many changing, ot composition ff l ert regulating b a eig y eLrsuao i l v la,( l ,. : , which Chamber, w oi em ai e s concesswAs to popular claims, their successors would attempt to strengthen the Monarchy by rihutic,, l of landed inheritance.

The following fcyoillingpand modi the artic,lo above alluded to We made known, a few days Ago,the existence of a treaty, signed by the Fia nce de Polignac, the Prince de Metternich, an: the Duke of Wellington, having the twofold o .loect-1. Of •t" England assisting against the RussjAu; to second the views of Eng land ; 2. Te,l;cep, the French in check by the pre-. sence ?; Austrian troops, to inspire the Cabinet of Velma with confidence. Such an arrangement, al though suffieleutly explained by the intentions and antecedent conduct of the new Ministers, appeared to us so contrary to time national honour, that we expressed our doubts of it, and invited Ministers to contradict it, if it were .not well founded.
