VOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. (Ft -, om the Journal dic Commerce of Friday.) • PARIS, MAY 2L--The Minister of Commerce has 'presented to the Chamber of Deputies the project of law on the Duties of Customs. We will not ven ture to give an opinion on this document upon a first reading. We intend carefully to study it both in the whole and in in several parts; we shall have plenty of time for examination and reflection, for it is not at all probable that the project of law can be gliscussed in the part of the Session which remains before the prorogation of the Chambers. Our readers will find in that passage of the de velopment of the motives on which the prnject is founded, which treats of the bounties on the ex portation of refined sugars, an explanation of the contradictory reports which have been in circulation among the merchants, and which we have mention rd. The Minister appears to have hesitated a long time between the various proposals that were made, aad has at length resolved on adoptingnone of them, bnt to leave things in d tatu quo. The Committee appointed to examine the Project 'of Law, relative to the eventual credit of fifty-two Millions, heard to-day the statement of the Minister of War. After a pretty long conference, it is said to have been recognised; first, that part of the sum was already spent; td, that the occupation of the Mores, and the relief afforded to the Ctreeks, could not yet cease, any more than the hictkade of Algiers ; 3d and lastly, that the Minister having, on the faith of the eventual credit of 80,000,000, voted last year, augmented the force of the army by 51,000 men, without any provision having been made for this ex change by the ordinary votes of credit, it was im possible entirely t d reject the project of the Govern ment. Nev'artheless it is affirmed that the Com mittee ',fill propose to reduce the vote of credit wh'.eh is asked for by 10 or 12,000,000. The Queen of Spain died on the 17th of this month. This news was transmitted yesterday from sayonne, by the telegraph. (The Message). des Chambreg says that a courier who was to bring this melancholy news to Dresden passed through Bayonne on the 20th.) This Princess, who was of the house of Saxony, was the third wife of Ferdinand VII. She was born on the 6th December, 1803, and married on the 20th October, 1819, being then not quite sixteen years of age. The King her hus band was then thirty-five years of age.

ANCONA, MAY 7.—We learn from various quarters that purchases of rum, corn, and other articles re quisite for the supply of a fleet, are making in the Mediteranean ports, for account of English houses , from which it is inferred that the English naval force in the Mediterranean will be reinforced. The English here are of opinion that the blockade of the Dardanelles will be shortly put an end to, as the in tewled object is not attained, as the intercourse of all nations with the Levant is much - impeded by it, and the interest of England requires that this state of things shall not continue. They therefore think it probable, that the Russian Government will at least consent to the re-establishment of the free in tercourse with Constantinople, to prevent the many disputes that may arise from the continuation of the blockade; and the more so, as the commerce of the linssian provinces of the Black Sea is wholly suspended by the loss of the only channel for the ex portation of their produce. They affirm that pro posals have been made from London to the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh to induce the Emperor to limit the operations of the' squadron in the same manner as on its first appearance in the Mediterranean. VIENNA, MAY I.—Metalliques, 98; Bank Share., 1,100.--Aligenteine Zeitung, May 18. .13istti" MAY 14.—The' Pt-tiesian' States Gavite, In an article dat'ed Warm*, the 12th of May, gives st full length the programme of the ceremonies of the koirtnn entry of his Majesty into that city, and the coronation. This programme tills above seven columns. The State- Gazelle declares there is no truth in the report that the Prussian Government has pur chased the library of Ibrailow, taken by the Russians. SToctillot.3l, MAY B.—The King has ordered that 30 new gun-boats, that have been built at Carlscrona• ' shall come to Stockholm as soon as the season will allow. COPF:NTIAGEN, MAY 16.—The salute of the for tress of Kronenburg, to which all ships passing the Sound were obliged, when they sailed by the for tress, by striking some of their sails, was often at tended with great difficulties when the weather was unfavourable. The King has therefore ordered that all merchantmen, Danish and foreign, shall henceforth be dispensed from it. NANOVER, MAY 13.—At the instance of his Royal Highness the Governor-General, a Com mittee has been formed to collect subscriptions for the relief of the sufferers by the late inundations in Prussia. JASSY, MAY I.—The new Grand Vizier has ad vanced to the vicinity of Varna, but the reinforce ments received by General Roth within the last three weeks are estimated at 30,000 men. Before the 13th inst., Count Diebitsch will have his head quarters at Bazardjik; the Turkish Spahis, however, already show themselves in small parties in different parts of Bulgaria, so that the troops march in strong columns, and the convoys of provisions are sent tinder strong escort. In Little Wallachia some light Turkish corps show themselves faom time to time. Achmed, Pacha of Widdin, is said to have 30,000 men under his command. GENOA, MAY 3.—Their Majesties the King and Queen of Sardinia are expected to embark on the 11th instant for Naples. Their Majesties, it is said, will be absent about two months.

LA NNIGAN, was passing along Cheapside on the evening of the 27th of last month, slightly under the influence of spirits, two men, as he sup posed in a lark, ran against him, and shoved him off the pavement, opposite Bow-church. He fell, and in the fall his right ancle went forcibly in contact with the curb stone. which occasioned dislocation of the tibia ami frac ture of the fibula, at their inferior extremities, He was taken up, but not by the regardless ruffians, who com mitted the offence, and conveyed to St. Bartholomew's Hospital, where he was put under the care of Mr. EARLE. The dislocation was reduced, and the limb put up in splints. In a very few nights afterwards, by the spasmodic action of the muscles, the displacement was again effected, and the end of the tibia driven through the integuments, causing thereby a compound dislocation. From the seri ous nature of the accident, and the very unfavourable con dition of the patient's constitution, Mr. EARLE was now induced to propose amputation of the leg, but in opposition to the most strenuous remonstrances the patient refused to submit to the operation. The other surgeons of the hospital concurred in the propriety of Mr. EARLE'S re commendation ; still the unfortunate man said nay. Every attempt was therefore made to save the limb, as well as the patient. On this day week, however, it was announced to him that the only chance of preserving life was in the removal of the leg ; lie then consented. On Saturday the ~ peratioa was performed at a short distance below the knee ; but unfortunately the vital powers were by this time too much reduced ; hospital gangrene supervened on Monday, and on Wednesday morning the pt,or man ex pired, notwithstanding every possible attention. He had once been a merchant of respectability, but was latterly unfortunate in trade. He than became a tutor in private families, being a mail of literary acquirements. As too frequently happen!, werldiy misfortunes increased his de-sire Her ti ti Witte, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, MAY 23, 1829. At a late hour this afternoon we received the Prussian. State Gazette of the 20th of May, from which we extract the following : ODESSA, MAY 2.—Our Journal contains several ac counts from the theatre of war, (but coinciding with those which we have already communicated), and confirms the arrival of the head .quarters at Gallacz. In the last week twenty-five ships hirer] by the Govern ment, bare arrived from the Turkish ports occupied by our troops. BERLIN, 2kIAY 1 9.—The Grand manoeuvres of the corps assembled near Potsdam, have commenced to-day. M. Fenessy, an English Cibinet Messenger, has ar arrived here from London, on his way to Warsaw. EXCHANGE ON LONDON. —Three months, 6 23k. The Hamburgh Correspondent of the 20th inst. and other Hamburgh Papers have been re ceived last night and this morning. If we may credit the contents of an article under date of Constantinople, the Russians, instead of cap turing Erzeroum, have been repulsed with severe loss in a movement upon Trebizond. The Russians attempted a landing with 4,000 men near Trebizond, but were compelled to re-embark with the loss of several transports and many men. A hope is entertained by the Turks that the Persians will make common cause with them when they learn that the forces of the SULTAN are so numerous as to bold out expectations of ultimate success. The Turks admit that the Russians maintain their possession of Sizeboli with great bravery, notwithstanding the repeated attempts of Hus- SEIN PACHA to dislodge them. The SULTAN is, however, resolved upon reinforcing his army in that quarter, for we learn that the troops arriv ing from Asia are ordered to the Coast of the Black Sea ; it is even said that the SULTAN himself intends removing his head quarters, with the standard of the Prophet, to }Carabournon, and every thing betokens that the war will be re sumed with determined valour at several points at the same moment. The new GRAND VIZIER advanced about the beginning of May towards the vicinity of Varna, but General ROTYI had lately received reinforcements in that quarter to the amount of 30,000 men, so that the VIZIER would require to act with circumspec tion : CONSTANTIKOPLE, APRIL 2a.—The Sultan will in a few days remove his bead-quarters (with the standard of the Prophet) from Ramis Tchiflik to Karabournon. Numerous troops have marched to that place since the Seraskier has inspected the fortifications. Troops con tinue to arrive from Asia, and these too proceed towards the coast of the Black Sea. Part of the regular infantry and cavalry that was here is gone to Incada. Since the 12th inst. several attacks have been made upon Sizeboli, in which Hussein Paella and his troops have indeed shown great courage, but without being able to overcome the brave resistance of the Russian garrison. On the other hand the Russians have failed in an attack on illisivria, and are said to have sustained considerable loss. They appear disposed to employ their whole force in the defence of Sizeboli. All the accounts from Erzerourr continue to be satis facory with respect to the engagements on that frontier with the troops of General Paskewitsch. A Russian corps of four thousand men attempted a landing near Trebizond, but was compelled to re-embark with great loss after an obstinate engagement ; several transports were captured on this occasion. These several actions, and the increase of the Turkish forces, may have a great influence on the resolutions of the Court of Teheran. No further accounts have been received of the popular commotion' in Persia, but the Mussulinen seem to regard a bre;ch with Russia as inevitable. It is certainly known that the Kourds, the Circassian', and the Lasians are in arms, and the Khans of Tartary have declared their readiness to fight against the infidels. The personal appearance of the Sultan in public places, when the purchase of provisions caused disorders, has had very beneficial effects, and will prevent all future dis turbances. By his express orders to protect the bakers from ill usage, and prevent all excesses, the bread is now publicly distributed in the churches, the mosques, and synagogues. First, the Illussulmen and the It :jabs of all sects were registered, and now receive daily two leaves at 40 drau per head. On the 11th a smart shock of an earthquake was felt, which did considerable damage at Enos, Kavalla, and Adrianople. Brussels Papers, of the 22d instant, announce that the King of the NETHERLANDS has pro rogued the States General on the 20th. The Minister of the Interior officiated for his MA JEST Y. He repaired in the usual form to the Assembly of the tw•o Chambers of the States General, and ha'ing taken his place in an arm chair at the foot of the Throne, delivered the fol, lowing speech in the national language, and in French : " HIGH AND MIGRTY LORDS, " The projects of law which the King had thought pro per to present this year to your High Mightinesses, having been successively examined, I come this day to this As sembly, by his Majt sty's orders, to close this Session. " I execute this commission by declaring, in the name of the King, that the ordinary Session of the States General, for 1829, is closed." In our columns of to-day will be found an account of the presentation of the different prizes at the London University, together with the brief but pertinent and feeling address of the Marquis of LANSDOWNE to the pupils. It gives us great pleasure to witness the vi gorous strides which this noble Institution is daily making towards maturity. Already it has outlived the whispers of calumny, which so industriously sought to oppose its pro gress ; and by the manifest utility of its cha racter has falsified the malevolent prognostica tions of the desponding, the distrustful, and the prejudiced. In a few yeas we shall find it taking a foremost place among the literary and scientific Institutions of the na tion, and running, no doubt, a generous race of competition with the King's College. May both prosper ! This is our sincere and earnest wish, but if there must be a spirit of rivalry between them, may they be rivals only in their endeavours to benefit their country ! The St. Petersburgh Gazette of the 10th of May, announces that the Emperor of RUSSIA, the Empress, and the young Prince ALEXAN DER, the heir apparent, set out for Warsaw on the 6th inst. The Coronation of the Emperor, as King of Poland, is to be extremely splendid. It would appear from the following article, that the progress of the Russians in Asia is not likely to be so rapid or successful as during the last campaign. The Turks have collected a much larger force than was expected : ST. PETERS/WIWI", MAY 9.—The Tiflis Gazette o March 28 (April 9), contains the following article.— " Achmet Pacha, as we learn from the accounts of his flight, stopped with the remainder of his scattered army till the 10th (22d) of March, on this side of the Adshur mountains, hut returned beyond them on that day. The auxiliary troops, which were to join him, hove stopped at Ardantolsh. The military preparations of the Turks continue, and every thing indicates that they intend to oppose a large force to us in the ensuing campaign. The victory gained by Major-General Hesse in the province of Ghutia has made an extremely favourable impression en the inhabitants, and the present conduct of these people is worthy of the greatest praise. A short time ago some of their Princes brought to the Russian authorities sealed in flamtnatory letters which they had received from the Princess Sophia, their late Regent, now residing in Turkey, but which they did not open. On the frontier the Natugaians, remembering their oath, gave notice of the intention of some predatory hordes to make an incursion iota our territory. This timely warning enabled our troops to repulse the enemy. The Emperor and Empress, with their eldest son, Prince Alexander, and the Grand Duke Michael, left this City on the 6th in the evening for Zarskojeselo, and set out the following morning for Warsaw. The Piedmontese Gazette of the 14th May contains the following:— GENOA, MAY 12.—Their Majesties having resolved to visit their august relation at Naples, embarked and put to sea to-day at half-past six in the afternoon. The division of the Royal Navy fitted out for the purpose, consists of the Maria Teresa, the Ben)ldo, and the Euridice frigates, and is commanded by Rear-Admiral the Chevalier de Castel Vecchio. His Majesty has provided for everything during his short absence. It is rumoured that the Citizens are determined to resist giving any account of their receipts or of their disbursements to the House of Lords. The only thing worthy of notice in the French Papers is tile death of the Queen of SPAIN. We think FBRDINAND ought to try his hand SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(TIIIS DAY.) FROM LLOYD'S.

The VICE-CIIANCELLOR was engaged the whole morning in hearing a bankrupt petition of no public • interest. COURT OF KING'S BENCH. THE COLLEGE OF PHYSICIANS V. HARRISON. In this case a verdict had been returned, in an action for practising without a licence, for the de fendant Harrison, who now sought to recover the costs of the trial. The plaintiffs resisted paying them, on the ground that they had not proceeded in redress of a private grievance, but as public prosecutors. The case was argued on Saturday, and Lord. Teoterden now gave judgment, that the defendant Harrison would have been liable for costs if he lost the cause, and the Court considered that the College of Physicians were also liable. THE KING V. COOKE AND OTHERS. This was an application for a mandamus, direct ing the Vestry of Paddington to appoint a Sur veyor to inspect " the Ci! and Junction-street," in order to adopt it as a public read, and keep it in repair at the parish expellee. The case had been previously argued, and Lord TENTERDEN now delivered the judgment of the Court, which refused to grant the writ of mandamus, considering that the road was at present only kept for the purposes of private individuals, and that it would be a great hardship for parishes to be ob liged to keep roads in repair, which had been open ed only for the convenience of private persons.— Application refused. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. This Court sat for a short time, and disposed of a few motions of courie, and then adjourned. The Duke of DEVONSHIRE'S grand party on Friday evening, at Devonshire-house, and Mr. PETTI GREW'S Conversazioni in Saville-street, on Wednesday evening, were the most celebrated and numerous assem blages during the week. At the former were a 1 the distin guished persons of rank and fashion in th e M e t ro p o li s; an d at the latter most of the eminent philosophers and literary men. Many rare articles were shewn at Mr. PErrIGREW::, which we have not room to specify. The Duke of DEVONSIIIRE Las recently pur chased the Villa, and 13 acres of pleasure grounds, on the banks of the Thames, belonging to Lady MACARTNEY, for 5,600 guineas. This delightful estate is adjoining to his Grace's mansion and gardens at Chiswick, to which it is iutendesl to be united, and it will become the most splendid residence in the neighbourhood of the Metropolis. STATE OF TRADE.— .\ are very sorry to say, th2t trade still continues in a very bad state in the West Riding, especially in the neighbourhood of Dewsbury and ilolmfirth.—Leeds Alercury. The appalling state to which the inhabitants of Paisley are now reduced calls for an immediate and effective intercourse on the part of Government to alle viate their alarming sufferings. Another survey of the town has been made, to ascertain the number out of em ployment. This survey was finished on Tuesday night, and the result is, 1,733 idle weavers, and 3,666, including those who follow other trades, with women and children, making the total of those who have no means of supporting themselves, 5,399. Besides these, there are many trades men who rcfu•ed to give their names, on the ground that no provision being made for those who are not weavers, they consider it useless to expose themselves. The Com mittee, who took up this list, remarked particularly that, in all the quarters of the town inhabited by the working c i a ,.s, they never saw any signs of preparing food except in rare instances. In a great many houses there was no fire ; and those families who were visited at the meal hour itad, but in few instances, any appearance of a meal to take.-- Csdedottin Nem re, a \ `I HE MARKETS.-(111IS DAY. CORN-EXCHANGE. The supplies of English Corn last week were moderate, and of Foreign Wheat considerable. This morning the fresh supplies of every description of Grain is small. Su perfine Wheat continues scarce, and such meets a trifling improvement in value, but other sorts meet a slack de- mand and remain at last quotations. Good heavy Barley for grinding is Is. per qr. higher, the light qualities are neglected. New Beans of fine dry quality nriy be quoted Is. to 2s. per quarter higher than on this day se'nnight, other sorts of Beans are not improved. Pease of good quality are also advanced Is. to 2s. per quarter. There has been a fair sale for good Oats today at Is. per quar ter advance on the currency of this day se'nnight. The supply of Flour is moderate, and the trade is very dull except for such as is fresh made. PRICES ON BOARD OF SHIT. Wheat, Red (old) —s. —s. 1 Beans, Small (new)... IN. 445.

CHARLES BELL, Esq. on the part of his collesitnel presented to the Chairman a report from the nied .cli t professors to the Council at the close of the Or s session, which was real. • It stated that one of the important ,obje.e o a E tained at the University was the opportunity it forded to the student of pursuing all the brenef-„-, of medical education under one roof; thet, ,, P;''' scheme of education adopted was of it V )lll P r t " ,rt;, l sive nature, and that every effort had been manz e render each department so completes notrjmiphY , Tte , extent of the lectures, but by the :auppli 44 ' 111 ' aids in the museums and library ao., Might P rev" mere oral instruction from leaving enlY'a tr" si , e : and imperfect impression ; .that.in every.depnlift the increasing necessity for a. snore complete:neut . , education than was formerly considered steco'," r '' ' had been inculcated, and that the. ptipils ° :had , '"' advised to avail themselves of the variouslacili tiO afforded in the University of iMproving theirge e- 46 as well as medical education. it bore testitngnY;,, the diligence and general .good- conduct ..nf studentS, and particularly noticed their increased ' k dustry as the session proceeded, and as all the_P e a r e t t r of each separate plan of instruction compre hen 6 in the system of medical education became 1111 1,. unfolded and better understood. It - dwelt t i e some length upon the principle by- which t ie some had been guided in conducting 1-hr" examination for prizes; that. they -- though it most desirable that the students of each. should be called upon for such proofs of ! In*. . dustry and attainment as could in no degree P..: questionable, but that their object was not to Oct :: exertions which, ending, in one or two instances „ 1 7,, surprising and perhaps useless labours, might lor in the majority of the. students, to hopelees t (r. ,;', lence and total despair of distinction, but other. encourage all the pupils to such a measure of bit; bitual industry as would be no less valuable th s e honourable to themselves, and at the sam e tini p practically useful to others. It contained some to judicious advice to the successful competitors pot to look upon themselves, by their success in the pre sent instance, as released from further study, but t s regard the honours they have reaped as attestation_ of talent and industry, as engagements to the fa t s titer acquisition of knowledge, and enc ouragerol l , to distinguish themselves in the wider sphere 0 1 t professional world. d The several Professors then came forward , art he. each in his turn read the mottoes to which the prizes had been awarded in his class. •A 5 e t - e t motto was read, the warden opened the sealed Pac'i o inscribed with the motto, and read the name of t o student contained in it.
