FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH ; PAPERS. (From the Gazette de France, dated June 25.) PARIS, JUNE 24.--IVe find the following passage in a mercantile letter from Constantinople, published by the Augsburgl Gazette " In expectation of the arrival of the French and English Ambassadors there is a kind of diplomatic arm►stice. The Reis Effendi has not had any con ferences for some time with any of the European Ministers, but on the other hand he secs almost every day the Envoy of Persia in the Palace of the Porte." -The Aviso of Toulon contains a letter from Algiers of the Gth of June, of the following tenour " Four or five days ago a Tunisian schooner brought to Algiers an envoy of the t•ultan : he is a Chamberlain of distinction, and a favourite with his Sovereign. He is s.ent to the Dey strongly to urge him, in the name of the Sultan, his master, to give to France all the satisfa - ction which it requires, or which it may demand in its ultimatum. The deci sion of the Divan has not yet transpired." The same Journal adds—" The . /liessangc schooner, which comes from Algiers, has brought despreches for the Government, which are said to be of great importance. Every body here is persuaded that they relate to the arrival at Algiers of the Envoy of the Sultan, mentioned biota correspondent. Orders have already been given to suspend the embarkation of bombs on board the gun-boats, and it is to be sup posed the Government expected something of the kind, because even before the arrival of the Ales sange, the preparations for the bombardment were relaxed. Will this attempt at conciliation also prove unavailing?" FRENCH FUNDS.--PARIS, JUNE 24.—Five per Cent,. 109 f. 108 f. 95c. 109 f.

(Signed) " JOHN KNIGHT, Secretary." The Duke and Duchess of GLOUCESTER gave a grand dinner yesterday at Gloucester-11011 , e, ntrk lane, to the Duchess of CLantr.NCE, the Duchess of SAXE Wtot.sn, and a distinguished party. The Duke of CLARENCE took an ailing in the Park yesterday, in an open carriage. The Duke of CUMBERLAND, PaNcr LEOPOLD, and the Princess So- MIA MATILDA, visited the Royal Duke and his Duchess yesterday, at their residence in the King's Palace, St. James's. The Duke and Duchess of CLARENCE gave a dejeunh' on Thursday to the members of the Royal Family ; after Which the RAINER, family were introduced into the apartment, and sang several of their - national airs. The Duchess of K ENT entertained a numerous party to dinner, on Wednesday, at her residence in the King's Palace, at Kensington. • The Duke and Duchess of GLOUCESTER honoured Lady WARBITIITON with their company to dinner, on Thursday, at her residence in Albemarle-street. The Duke or CUMBERLAND honoured the tats Ot BtARBOROUCTI with his company to dinner on tliiiMay, at his residence in POrtman-square. There WO a select party to meet his Royal Highness. The Princess AUGUSTA had a select party to (Miner on Wednewlay, at her residence in the Kint i , , 's Pa'ace, St. James's. At eleven o'clock yesterday morning, the Lords of his Majesty's Most Honourable Privy Council held a meeting in the Privy Council Chamber, Whitehall. Those present were, the Loma PRESIDENT, Lord Wrx roan, Sir GEORGE ROSE, and the Right Hon. H. ELLIOT. Their Lerdships were occupied till four o'clock in the afternoon hearing- the argnment4 of counsel on two apperl c Imes, both of them from the Wand of Jersey ; the first, MAarte tt. JENNEP.," the other " BENYST v". PIPOIL" C)it thtiast case being rOncluied, their Lordships adjourned. The Duchess of CLARENCE, accompanied by Count and the Countess MUN S TER, end sevvral other per sons of distinctions, honoured the p•rformmnre at Astley's Amphitheatre with their presence en Thursday evening last. Monsieur MARS, to whom the public has Leen some time indebted for that lively little Miscellany, the Furet de Londres, had a benefi., last night at the Argyll Rooms, which was fully and fa%hionably attended. The entertainment was of the most select characttr. An account has been published, by order of the House of Commons, "of ail goods detained and sold tit the Custom-house, in the last year, on the plea of being undervalued by the importer; thereof," which appears to be very defective, in as far as it does not show whether the revenue has Leen benefited by such detention on the part of the officers who rejected the valuation at which the said goods were entered. The object of the Hon. Member, or the parties on whose behalf he moved for the production of the account, is thereby defeated. The following is an abstract of the account : Cross produce of sales .£3,607 6 8 Amount of sale above the merchants' valuation £l,6SO 6 10 Ameunt of sale below the merchants' valuation 74 10 7 .0 1,r0.5 16 :1 it is left doubtful, however, whether this includes duty, merchants' p,r centage, and charges of sale. The net produce of sale, after deducting the amount paid to the merchant, and all charges, is stated to be 1,5751. 7s. 3y., out of which there was to be paid to the seizing officers 7871. 13s. 71d., leaving to the revenue 7871. 13s. The return ought to have shown what the duty would have been if the merchants' valuation had been accepted. This must be, in part, matter of con;ecture, but it ap pears, from the Parliamentary document, that the mer clEsnts' valuation of the goods was 4,201/. 10s. 5d., the ml valorem duty on which ranges from 20 to 75 per cent. ; so that it may he concluded that the amount of duty thereon would have fallen very little short of the sum stated as " net proceeds," a moiety of which went into the pocket of the officer instead of the Exchequer, who has a motive, therefore, for the detention of the goods vexatiously. LADY CODRINGTON'S BALL.—The above Lady gave a ball en Thursday night, at her residence in Eaton-square. Besides their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of GLOUCESTER, there were present upwards of 300 of the principal Nobility. The mansion was fitted up in the most splendid style, and decorated with the rarest exotics and the choicest flowers. Dancing com menced shortly after eleven o'clock, to the music of WKlr rnefs hand, and did not terminate until after four o'clack in the morning. The supper aed refreshments were under tFe direction of Messrs. GUNTER. DUBLIN, JUNE 24.--This mowing Mr. O'CONNELL, acCompaDied by Messrs. RONAYNE. SUGRUE, LANIGAN, BARTLETT, &c. attended at the Head Ofike of Police, to lodge informations against Mr. TALtiox GL As coot:, the opposition Candidate for Clare. Mr. PLONAYNE stated he had heard Mr. GLASCCCE make use of threaten ing language on divers occasions to Mr. O'CONNELL ; but that particularly, on the day before, he saw Mr. GLAS COCK in the Hall of the Four Courts, flourishing a de tonating gun, made to resemble a cane, and with which he swore he would drive a bullet through the while liver of the Great Demagogue, without touching his black heat with several expressions of a similar nature, all ttliding to create an apprehension that he would commit a breach of the peace. The informations of Messrs. O'CoN NFL!, and RONAYNE were immediately taken by Mr. Tenon, who forthwith issued his warrant, and in less than half an hour, .MANLY, the officer, took Mr. GLAS- C 4 etc into custody as he was stepping into his travelling carriage, at the door of his Hotel in Dawson-street. On being examined by Mr. Tunon, he disclaimed any inten tun of offering violence to the person of Mr. O'CONNELL. He failed, however, in inducing Mr. TUDOa to believe that lie was not influenced by hostile motives, and was therefore ordered to find securities to keep the peace, him self in 5001., and two householders of respectability in 250/. each. Mr. GLASCOCK stated he could easily pro cure the -necessary sureties , and immediately despatched his • Tit nd and relative, young- Mr. SCEIVEIT, in search of them. LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, JUNE 27, 1829. Despatches nem received at the Colonial Office, this morning, from Lieut.-General F. C. PONSONBY, at Malta, dated May 27 ; also from General Sir CHARLES DON, at Gibraltar, dated June 12; and from the British Minister, at Cadiz, dated June 14. We understand none of the above despatches contain any intelligence of rnportance. Extracts from the French Papers i,vill be found in another column ; their contents, it will be seen, `are far from being either important or in- cresting. Accounts from St. Domingo, of the 21st April, state that the island was in a most wretched condition. There was no security; money wag scarce ; and the people were in such a miserable state that they could neither afford to cut timber or bring it down from the interior of the country_ To add to their distress, mahogany was getting scarce and high priced. The merchants there have been obliged to pay large sums into the treasury for the payment of the troops, and many wealthy people had lately been induced to leave the island in order to avoid these contributions. Small money was so scarce that in paper currency the ten dollar notes had fallen to seven dollars. As Public Monuments seem just now very much in vogue, we know no one who can lay stronger claims to such a flattering distinction, than that excellent man and eminent philosopher, the late Professor DUGALD STEWART, of Edinburgh. If an uninterrupted course ofpublic services, extended over the greatest part of half a century, can entitle a man to the active grati tude of his countrymen, then the Professor will be found in every respect to have earned the highest posthumous honours it. is in their power to bestow. As a man, he was the soul of integrity and strict moral worth ; as a philosopher, he laid down principles of the loftiest and most efficient nature ; as a logician and a thinker, he was acute, liberal, tolerant, in his opinions; and only less profound than he was simple and convincing in his style. Few men can rise from the perusal of Professor STEwAnT's works without feeling their judg ment strengthened and their feelings elevated. He has no brilliant startling paradoxes, no Utopian schemes of regeneration, his productions :owe their charm to the great good sense and practical (and, in some respects, severe) acquaintance with the world, that every where abound in their pages. If Lord ELDON, the fixed—though we verily believe conscientious---opponent of every thing that tends to enlarge or purify the faculties of the human mind, is deemed worthy of a public monument ; how much worthier is that man whose whole life was spent in the diffusion of sound and healthy intellect, and who, from his success and influence in that respect, may ex claim with quite as much justice as HonAcE, " Ezegi monumentum nre perennius, Regalique situ pyramidutn altius, Quod non imber edax, non Aquilo impotrns Possit diruere." Our attention has been called by a letter in another column to a question of serious interest - to that respectable body—the surgical practi tioners of the metropolis—a great portion of whom divide with the chemists and druggists the retail business' of drugs, chemicals, and patent medicines. It appears that this influential and highly respectable body are put to serious inconvenience, and kept in a state of constant alarm by the ingenious but highly disgraceful practices of that hole-and• corner fraternity, the " informers," who seek out every opportunity of bringing their contrivances to bear for the sake of the " penalty." If these gentry were on the alert and " laid their informations " for attempts at eluding the Stamp duties in bona fide cases, we should commend their watchfulness rather than reprove their alacrity ; but when we find them hunting out and contriving pretexts for taking in the unwary, by feigning cases of sudden illness, and so forth, we think their con duct cannot be too much reprobated. But this is not all. The informers, failing in making out a " good case,' scruple not in swearing lustily to a " bad one," upon the strength of which many an honest man has been compelled to pay the same penalty as if he had transgressed the " legitimate" source of com plaint. For instance—because a Mr. HENRY had obtained a patent for " aromatic vine gar," which goes by his name, it seems no person must sell any article called " aromatic spirit of vinegar," or " concentrated spirit of vinegar"—although such an article is indispen sable in every surgeon's or apothecary's shop, and is besides recognized by the Royal Col lege of Surgeons of London, Edinburgh, and Dublin ! Really these things reflect no credit upon the over-busy informers, nor upon those who countenance their proceedings, by allowing a reward where none is due. We arc certain that the Commissioners are them selves imposed upon by those very ingenious gentlemen who earn their precarious livelihood by " informations," or they never would permit any rewards to he given in cases similar to those in question. The " practice" requires reforma tion—and that speedily. TIIE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CIT Y, 7';vEtrE 0' apex-.

Extract of a letter received at the North and South American Coffee-house : " LIVERPOOL, JUNE 25.—Accounts received from Lisbon of the lith inst. state, that the expedition destined against Terceira sailed on the 16th inst. from the Tagus."

CAPF; lIAYTI, MAY B.—The Government have laid an increased duty of 10 per cent. on dudes and port charges of American vessels. This measure is said to be in consequence of Haytiatt vessels not being admitted to an entry in the United States on the same terms as American vessels. Letters from Havannah of the 24th state that five pirates were to be hung. The - amount of duties on imports at the port of New York in the year 1827 was 13,217,695 dollars, and in 1828, 13,745,147. The singular disparity between the corresponding quarter of 1828 and 1829, which was in 1829; 2,688,085 dollars, and in 1828, 4,189,116, arises from the pending of the late tariff law in Congress during the spring of last year. slr.

The inhabitants meant to try the question hona• f/dc, and he believed the pro per course was to obtain a mandamus. Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE suggested that the bet ter mode would be, if they meant to try the ques tion, to take altile nisi, and the question might be arranged by the merits of the case coming before the Court in showing cause against that rule. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL Collsented to take a rule nisi, and observed, that he was also instructed to move on behalf of the Vicar; but he should of course leave that to some other gentleman. NAYLOR V. TAYLOIL-POLICY OF INSURANCE. This was an action on a policy of insurance, by the Owner of the ship Monarch, against an under writer, to recover 200/., the value of a cargo shipped at Liverpool for the river 1)e la Plate, on board that vessel, The master had liberty to put into any other part of South America, in case he should be warned off the river. The policy was effected, and the Monarch sailed in March, 1826, when it was known that the river 1)e la Plate was blockaded by thd Brazilian squadron. The vessel arrived there, was captured, and sent off to Rio Janeiro for comlemnation. Before, however, she arrived there, t h e Captain found means of recapturing her, and re turning to Liverpool with the cargo. When notice of the capture arrived in England, the owners of the cargo abandoned it, and came upon the assurers for the value. Before, however, the trial came on, the Captain arrived at Liverpool. A verdict for the plaintiff was returned at the trial, with leave to move to enter a nonsuit, which motion was now made by the Attorney-General, on the ground that the Captain had continued sailing for his original desti nation, even when he saw the Brazilian squadron blockading the port, and that instead of turning into the port of Monte "Video, and discharging his cargo there ; also, that having been captured, he ought to have abided the t r i a l o f a dj u di cat i on , at 'Rio Janeiro, where it was to be presumed that the vessel and cargo would have been restored by the Brazilian Government ; and the Learned Connie' further submitted, that when the C a pt a i n recap ttitrrtctlthe vessel, lie broke the law of nations, and divested the assured of ail claim on the assurers. Mr. CAMPBELL replied, and the Court took time to consider before (layering judgment. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. This Court was occupied the whole morning in hearing a motion relating to the validity of a Corn mission of Bankruptcy, of no public interest, and which was likely to last the entire day. Sir T. WILsoN, who, as High Sheriff of Kent, reaped some notoriety 14 his Anti-Catholic decision on Pencnden Plam, has been foiled in an attempt to exclude the public from Hampstead Heath, where ho is Lord of the Manor.

Vt'e hare heard it stated that it is the wish of the intstrious and venerable ELDON, that the money sub scribed for a testimonial of his virtues and deeds, should be applied, not in the erection of any perishable monu ment or work of human art, but to the noblest of ends, and for the most charitable and best of purposes, namely, in the establishing of six scholarships at the University College, Oxford, to be called " The Eldon Scholarships," for the benefit of deserving and deserted youths who may happen to want such assistance. On Saturday last two young gentlemen be _ _ longing to Ile!fast, together with a young lad of the name of CooeEia, who lived in Hulywood, put off from Cuitra in a yawl, at about half-past ten o'clock. Tl►e boat wan rkged with a sprit and lug sail- When they were about a mile from the Holywood shore, they attempted to put about, but in doing so the boat capsized, and they were precipitated into a very rough sea. They all succeeded in getting on the bottom of the boat ; and one of the party, after some time, with great presence of mind leaned over her side, and cut away the halyards and hawser ; thus freeing her from her least, and from a small anchor that had tumbled out when she capsized, and which had firmly grappled itself in the sand beneath. The boat was thus so fir freel as to partially right herself. In conse quence of the heavy surf, their desperate situation was unperceived by any of the numerous yachts that lay at anchor a short distance from them. The boat cell- tinned to drive s!owly towards the Antrim cua•t; hut at the expiration of aboat an hour, the poor boy COOPER, became so weak, that he dropped off unper ceived by his companions, and sank to rise no more ! Prior to this, one of the young gentlemen lid s,izeil him by the foot as be was s:ippiog into the 'eater, and hauled him out again on the boat's bottom ; but he was too fir exhausted to retain his hold. The boat was now so much lightened, that it drifted quicker towards land ; and after they had hung on for upwards of two hours, they were perceived from White-abbey ; and a boat put off to their assistance. They were found about half-a -mile from shore, :in a most deplorable state; quite worn out, and nearly blind. They were itnmed - ately put to bed in Mr. WlLLlAm son's, of White-abbey, and treated with the greatest atter titha- •In a few hours they were so far recovered, as to he .able to come to town in the evening. The body of the . boy CoorEa has not yet been found. He was an or phan, of excellent character, and was supported by an uncle. His .anx i e ty was so gre at to go on thi s sa ili ng tr i p, w hi c h proved so fatal to h im, that he induced a servant belong ing to one of the young gentlemen to sit np during the greater part of the previous night, to finish a check shirt, that he might appear properly rigged out on the occi• sion.—Belfast News Letter. WATERLOO BRIDGE. In consequence of a statement appearing in severe' of the Morning Papers of Tuesday last, stating that the northern pier of Waterloo Bridge was in a de' composed and alarming state, a meeting of the Cot mittce took place, and, as it appeared that the state ment was founded in falsehood and malignity, th e Committee resolved that the most public refutation of the calumnious report should be given. The Waterloo Bridge Committee directed that on excavation should be made close to the abutment pier, on the north side of Waterloo Bridge, for the purpov of ascertaining if " the part was complete i r rotten." It was considered somewhat marvellon s how the " two gentlemen," without excavation, had 1 ascertained the " rotten state of the pier," which,' being above ten feet below low-water-mark, ha d never been exposed to human eye since.its erection' To put the question entirely at rest, the Committee determined that the pier should be exposed to the view of the public. Yesterday afternoon the Committee and a numbe r of scientific gentlemen took a vi ew o f th e pi e r an d piles. Sir Joseph Sidney Yorke, Lord Carrington , Sir G. Cockburn, Sir Edward Banks, Mr. Carstait6 Mr. Jenkins, the Messrs. Rennie, Mr. Powell • the Surveyor of the Bridge, Sze. were present. The wo:kmen cut away the timber from the part of -- th e piles which is most exposed to the action of th e water, and it was found to be as sound as it when it was laid down in ISI6. There was no tir pearance of decomposition, and the weight of the pier upon the piles had in fact hardened the woody and tendered it less liable to be affected by the water' The two gentlemen who waited upon Lord Melville were, it is said, Mr. Peto, the builder of the Custom' house, and Mr. Jeffreys, who &aims to be the, ventor•of the approaches to the new London Bridge. 1 After - the Committee had ascertained that the repor t of the two gentlemen was unfound e d; Si r Jose ph Yorke, the Chait man, published the following letter : " TO THE EDITOR. OF TUX SUN. " Toll.honse, Waterloo-bridge, Friday, Juue 26, 162 9 ' " MR. EDITOR—A paragraph having appeared in sere' ral papers, giving an account of two very interesting gentle men having viAted Lord Melville (why Lord Melville?) to report on the defective state of the piles of the abutment of the Surrey side of Waterloo-bridge, the Committ:•e deemed it advisable to open the said abutment this morning, and laid the satisfaction to find that the platform and pil ing were in the soundest possible state. This was wit nessed by many most respectable persons, viz. Sir Geo• Cod:l:urn, Mr. Barrow, Messrs. Rennie, Sir Edwar d Banks, Mr. Miller, Mr. Taylor, the Surveyor of Build ings of the Navy Office, and many other scientific gentle men, as well as the Reporters of the Daily Press, who were all tvea'sati.•fied that the paragraph alluded to was aPY thing hut true. The motive in putting such a paragraph before the public, the gentlemen present were quite at it hay to imagine. " On the part of the Committee, " S. YORKE, Chairman. " P.S. Specimens of the timber may be seen at the Company's Office and at the Toll-house." They brought away with them some of the timber , which appeared to be in no degree affected, and wog as sound as when cut from the tree. There are not less than 1,70() proprietors of the Bridge, and many of them reside in remote parts of the country. Olio of them wrote yesterday to the Secretary, askirl " how long mould the dividend be suspended consequence of the repairs of the piers and the abut ment taking place ?" The gentlemen who have promulgated so unfounded a report, will no doubt feel themselves culled upon to explain their extraor• 'finery conduct in this affair. . . PLAN FOR PAVING CHEAPSIDE. TO THE LORD MAYOR AND CITIZENS OF LONDON. GENTLEMEN,— Passing . yesterday through Cheap side, I was struck with e plan you arc pursuing with the :41b-stratum of broken or Macadamized stones, en which, I suppose, the pavement is to.be laid, as in Fleet -street, at au enormous expellee, and cannot but think I can propose a much cheaper and more lasting plan. It is not new, for it has been pursued years at Milan, and behind St. Clement's Church, in the Strand; and though I grant the traffic in Cheapside is wonderfully greater, yet I could wish you much to try it, if it were only an experi ment of fifty yards, before Bow Church. %von!, it is to lay a double line of the curb-stones of the street thus— Ifor the wheels of carriages only to run on , fl an k e d, perhaps; by a paving stone, for the convenience of turning off and on. This railway 1 would not have raised at all above the level of the street, and as an old coachman myself, I see no insuperable objection to the scheme ; on the contrary, I see twenty reasons for its adoption, and will beg leave to slate a • few of the most important; assured, that an example being set by the city of London, the plan would be generally adopted; and, if I am not mistaken, a. lasting benefit would be conferred on the country, Many there are, no doubt, who will exclaim that the scheme is " impracticable"—that .it is " impossible;" but to such I answer, that already on •the Corso of where the carriages • follow each other Ai most as closely as in Hyde Park or Cheapside, it is done; and I will just beg to state the advan tages of such a road in a few words, being con vinced that, before long, it will be general; it would really hurt me that the City of London should not lead the way—at least in England :-Ist. Such a road is cheap (the best granite curb-stone hewed and prepared is 2s. per foot, whilst pavement costs 13 shillings per square yard, according to evidence before the Lords), lasting, and adapted to carriages as at present constructed. It is not proposed to groove it, or raise .it at all above the level of the street ; but is streets of great traffic to lay a double line, on the near and offsides, but on streets of less traffic, only a double line in the centre, leaving the sides for passing and re-passing, instead of the middle, as in Cheripside.-2d. It is easily laid on sand, gravel, or turf, and the heavier the weights that roll over it, the more it would be consolidated, not as at present pulverised.-3d. It would be equally .good in Winter as Summer; and if at last it wore.into grooves, move it .a few inches nearer or farther, or turn it.-4th. It would occasion no noise, dust or dirt.-sth. The excessive facility of draft (one horse, according to Mr. Jessop, draws twelve tons 2i miles per hour on iron, and on the Darling ton Railway, one gig horse drew .51 persons eight miles per hour), and rapidity of communication, and consegnent supply of provisions and intelligence, &e. froin every part of the island to the Metropolis; if adopted as a general road. Gth. The diminished suffering of that roble ani mal, she horse. 7th. The immense number of them that might be dispensed with (at present a horse a mile is the ge neral calculation for four-horse coaches; I. e. 12 0 horses for one roach to Bristol, being 120 miles), and consequently that the land (perhaps seven acres cultivated for every horse per annum), consumed for them, might be cultivated for man, rendering him less dependent on foreign supplies for bread, and without injuring rents or revenue, diminishing pours' rates, encouraging industry, and by giving employ m; to the poor, diminishing the alarming increase of crime. 8111. That vehicles on such roads need not be half as strong, expensive, or heavy in their construc tion, nor passengers or goods suffer half as much 0 9 at present; whilst their cheapness and durability would go far to increase their number and conve nience. 9th. Great increase of friendly arid mercantile communication, and of human happiness and cent ere. 10th and lastly. The highest of all gratifications in having led the way, and improved the conditiOn of the world. Such, Gentlemen, are a few, and only a few, Ol the advantages which I conceive would follow til6
