cbeqtie w.ts presented, into the prisoner's possession. The gentleman who paid the money at the Bank of England admitted tint the prisoner was not the person who presented the forged cheque. Sir R.BuL.Nanobserved, that it was not likely that the individual who committed the forgery, the ad vertisement of whose description would lead in all probability to the detection, would' be so insane as to present the cheque himself for payment.. The solicitor for the prosecution said, that if the prisoner was remanded, the witnesses should be in readiness on a future day. Sir R. BIRNIE ordered the prisoner to be re manded, and to be re-examined iiext week. NEW'$ FROM THEAEATRE OF WAR. . BERLIN, AUG. 10.—The Journal de St. Peters burgh gives the following report addressed by Count Diebitsch to the Emperor from the ramp at Der wish•-Jowan, 21st July., - eespecting the passage of the Kamtchik. In addition to the account given by us in our number of the 3d instant, it says that in the action which General Roth's corps had on the I9th July in passing the river, and the subsequent taking of the Turkish camp, Ibrahim Paella, who com manded there, was killed. The conclusion of the report says— " To-day, the 9th (21st), the corps of General Rudiger is in Aiwadschik, and his van-guard in Ser ketsch ; General Roth's corps is intjerekisdere, and his vanguard in Paliobano and &Mine, se - that the summits of the Great Balkan areitt - our hands. The corps of Count Pahien is advancing. on the road of Aiwadschik, and will halt ttp-44 little river Fonduklidere, where it is intended:to have the bead-quarters to-day. The enemy has attempted nothing against the corps ".ri General Krassowsky. . On the 7th (19th), -rhe Grand Vizier, with .5,000 cavalry, appeared., on the heights, upon the right . bank of the I];crie river Jerekli, in sight of the van guard Of T ieutertant-General Prince Mudatow, b'it did ' - attack him. Having made his observations 7.--this point for some time, he left some outposts on. the right bank of the Jerekli, and returned to Shumla." The St. Petersburg/2 Gazette gives a very long account of the battle of the 11th of June bet teen - Coetnt Diebitsch -and the army of the Grand Vizier. His Majesty the Emperor has sent the insignia of the order-of St. Andrew, in diamonds, with a most gracious rescript, to Count Paskewitsch, as a recompense . for his late victory over the Seraskier of Erseroum.--=Prursian State Gazette, Aug. 10. k yruto the Nurentburg Courier of Peace and War.) BISTRITZ, JULY 22.—The Pandours in Little Wallachia have succeeded in making themselves masters of the town of Lom, below Widdin, and have kept it in spite of repeated attacks of the Turks. This corps of 3,000 men has already proved itself so useful, that the President Soltuschin has issued orders for increasing it by 2,000, and for that g. l yurpose to relieve an equal number of the inhabitants of two districts from taxes, and enlist them for the military service. During the last month the Turkish army has lost many men by the plague, arid this cir eurnstance may induce the Sultan, more than any diplomatic 'representation., to listen to the proposals for peace made by the French and English Ambas sadors at Constantinople. VIENNA, AUG. s.—Metalliques 991; Bank Share, Zeitung, Aug. 10. JASSY, JULY 10.—The march of the Austrian troops from Dalmatia towards &snick and Sernlin, where, it is said, they are to take up their position, has given rise to various reports. We believe, however, that the assemblage of these troops at thoseloints has no other object than to strengthen the sanitary cordon, a measure which is the more prudent as the contagion still prevails in the adjoin ing countries. Our city and its environs have not suffered much hitherto, which is the most form. nate, as the weather is at present by no means fa vourable for the extermination of the evil. TEE HAGUE, AUG. 11. —The Grand Duchess Helen, Consort of the Grand Duke Michael, con tinues to visit the public establishments, and in general every thing remarkable in this place. The English Admiral, Sir Sidney Smith, who is . tow here, will make a trial to-morrow of his appa ratus for saving the lives of persons shipwrecked, in presence of his Excellency the Minister of Ma rine, at Scheveningen. The Count de Saldanha, Chamberlain, and the Countess of Hagapipe, Lady of Honour to the Empress of Brazil, arrived at Bruges on the 9th.— Brussels Papers, Aug. 14. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Moniteur of Friday, August 14.) The official part contains three Royal Ordinances. The Ist apdoints M. Mangin, Councillor in the Court of Cassation, to the oil ice of Prefect of the Police of the Department of the Seine, instead of M. de Belleyme, who is appointed to another office. H. Appoints M. Moreau, President of the tribunal of the First Instance of the Department of the Seine, to succeed M. 3.l3tigin in the Court of Cassation. 111. M. De Belleyme is appointed to succeed M. 11 - loreau. " DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR. " CIRCULAR. " TO THE PREFECT OF THE DEPARTMENT OF " PARIS, AUG. 12. " Sir,—Being called by the choice of the King to direct the Department of the Interior, I feel the whole value of this august confidence without con cealing from myself that it imposes duties upon me. " That I may not be discouraged by them, I feel it necessary to depend upon the veal and devoted ness of all the public functionaries ; I particu!atly need the assistance of those whom the goodness of the King has placed at the head of the Administra tion of the Departments. _ . " But this concurrence would lose its efficacy, if uniform in its progres4, and regulated by a prudent firmness, it was not equally remote from the weak ness which ruins States, and the imprudence which endangers them. • " It is between these two shoals that you, Sir, will have to steer. Placed between the public liberties, which it is the firm will of the King to maintain, and the excesses of licentiousness which it may be necessary to repress, it is your duty to cause the laws to be executed without distinction of opinions and persons, not, however, like a blind and passive instrument, but as an enlightened Ma gistrate, judging arid appreciating circumstances, and always directed by the public interest, and a courageous devotedness. In securing to ail justice and protection, the administration owes favour and recompences only to services rendered to the Prince and to the State; its confidence cannot be granted except to those who know how to deserve it. " It would, therefore, be with real pain, Sir, that I should in your place, offer to the choice of his llajesty, individuals who should not unite to the ability necessary duly to fulfil their office, a true attachment to our august dynasty, and to the insti tutions which it has given to us, because it is only by employing men so devoted, that vou will revive the confidence of honest men, will rally them to the Government, and will give them strength to resist inferences which are powerful only through the dis couragement of the friends of order and legitimacy. " It is not, however, the intention of the Go vernment to disturb established situations, or to cause a re-action. All that will frankly join it, and second it in the strict observance of the Consti tutional Charter, may depend upon its support. — Whoever should tend to depart from this invariable line of conduct, will have at least we hope so, the courage to do himself justice. In the contrary case, I depend too much on your devotedness, not to be convinced that you will hasten to inform me of it. Accept, Sir, the assurance of my distinguished con sideration.

PARIS, AUG. 14.-7-Two journals say this morn-Ine and from the British Minister at Buenos ing, that M. C ot t rv bi s i e r has r e f use d th e Department; yres, dated the Bth of May. ofjustittt We can affirm that this statement is falsti`i grata of the Morning Journals : It was announced this evening, that M. d fr eligny's refusal to accept had been received. _ z It is announced that Mesoiste - Labourdonnaye and de Bourmont will not rsmain in the Ministry, but that one of them will have a successor in a few days. M. Ravez would succeed M. Labourdonnaye, and the Duke of N4gusa M. Bourmont. Reports of the re-establishment of the Censor ship, circulated in Paris on Sunday ; the 16th Aug., at the latest, was fixed for this event. It was said that one of the acts of the new Cabi net will be to Heal the troops from the Morea. At the Colonial Office despatches have been received from Major RICKETTS, Governor of Sierra Leone. By the Express which arrived this morning we have received the French Papers of Satur day, but their contents are unimportant :-- (From the Gazette de France of Saturday.) Pi RIS, Atm. 14.—Their Excellencies Messrs. Courvoi sier, de Rigny, and de Montbel arrived to. day at Paris. By an ordinance of the King, of August 8, a pension of 12,000 francs is granted to Messrs. Hyde Neuville, Vis count Caux, Viscount Martignac, Count de St. Cricq and de Vatimesnil. The Count de Bourmont, Minister of War, received yesterday morning the congratulations of all the corps of the Royal Guard, of the Gendarmerie, and of the regiments of the line composing the garrison of Paris. (From the Messager des Chambres of Saturday.) PARIS, Auc. 14.—The Journal de Paris has received this morning the following anonymous notice : " A machination is preparing for Saturday, during the ceremony, which will serve as a pretext to issue, on the same day, an Ordinance against the Press. This Ordi nance will be immediately put into execution, in order that the Gazette and the Quotidienne may alone give an account in their manner of the event which will seem to be the foundation of the measure." If there could be any foundation in this notice we doubt not that the calm attitude of Paris, which will never con found its King with the advisers of his Throne, will easily defeat such a Machiavilian plot, the whole disgrace of which will rest on its authors. [None of the Papers contain any news from the theatre of wan—Saturday being the holiday of the Assumption, no Course of Exchange was published.] Intelligence received from St. Petersburgh, and inserted in the Dutch and Hamburg Papers, states the loss of the Turks at the battle near Pravadi, on the 11th of June, in which the GRAND VIZIER was defeated, with 5,000 killed, besides an infinite number wounded. The Rus. sians, it seems, lost 32 staff officers, and 1,239 privates:— ST. PETICASBURGII, JuI.Y 29.—Count Fiquelmont, Ambassador from the Emperor of Austria, had his first audience of the Emperor and Empress, at the Palace of Yelagin, this morning. Countess Fiquelmont, Lady Heytesbury, and her daughter, had afterwards the honour to he presented to the Empress. The detailed bulletin of the victory obtained on the 1 Ith of June, over the army of the Grand Vizier, near Pra vadi, concludes with the following statement of the loss of the two armies : " These spirited advantages over the Grand Vizier could not be obtained without considerable loss. Our loss was— " Killed-32 Staff and superior officers, and 1,239 privates. Wounded—Major-Generals Otroschtsellenko an4l Glasenah, 29 Staff and superior officers, and 1,009 privates. " The loss of the enemy is far greater: besides the prisoners, he lost in the battle and flight 5,000 killed ; and, as we have already said, the whole baggage of the Grand Vizier's army, his own equipages, six standards, and 43 cannon, fell into the hands of the comperom" Br% NDENEURGH, Aua. B.—His Majesty the King of Prussia was on the 3d at Schandaw, in Saxon Switzer land, where he spent his birth-day in the bosom of his family. The next day his Majesty dined with the King of Saxony, at Pilnitz. His Majesty will return to Pots• dam on the 15th, set out the next day for Brussels, and arrive at Paris on the 6th Sept.

It cost much time and trouble to get it to sea, but at last it succeeded. The concourse of spectators was extremely great. The Commissioners ap pointed by his Majesty to draw up a project of law on public instruction meets at most every day at Brussels. It is affirmed that it will have completed its task by the end of September. Nothing transpires respecting the principles it has adopted. The labours of the Commission appointed to draw up a new Code of judicial proceedings are drawing to a close, and it is affirmed they will be concluded by the end of this week. Buenos Ayres Papers, dated May 16th, state that military preparations were still going on in that city with increased activity ; and that ano ther action between the armies of General LA VALLE and Governor LOPEZ might be soon JOHN T. BRIGGS. I expected Butt Nos AYRES, MAY 16.—Military preparations are still going on in this city with increased activity. Troops have embarked, and we believe artillery, to form (it is said) an expedition against Santa-Fe. The Monteneros hover in the neighbourhood, and daily skirmishes take place. It is rumoured that another action between the armies of General Lavalle and Governor Lopez may he soon expected. The head-quarters of the latter were at Lujan. In the midst of all these warlike scenes there are some who hold out the idea that an accommodation may soon take place, and we extract the following from the Gacetu Mercantil of yesterday.:— " The Government Minister, St. Carril, and General Pueyrredon, left this city yesterday for head-quarters, in a carriage accompanied by a numerous escort. Their going has given rise to a thousand conjectures, but we knots nothing positive as to the object of this journey." May 23.—The papers of this date contain an account of the attack made by the French squadron on the fleet of the Republic on the 21st. The Government published a bulletin in the afternoon, and several flags of truce passed backwards and forwards. We have been surprised (says the British Paeket) at reading in the Government Bulletin the depositions of some individuals, that the French sailors plunderer' the captured vessels. Such conduct we should scarcely have expected from the strict discipline which exists in the French navy. On Wednesday morning the 20th, about eleven o'clock, another Montenero alarm occurred in the city ; but it did not produce the bustle which, under similar circumstances, took place on the I I th ult. An expedition has sailed against Santa Fe, under the command of Colonel Isaac Thompson. It is stated to consist of 600 men, and it is thought may induce Gover nor Lopez to retreat. A supplement to the British Packet contains the corres pondence between the Government and Viscount Venan court, commanding the French squadron in the River Plate. I❑ the conferences which took place between General Cruz, on the part of the Republic, and the French Com mander, it was agreed, I. That Viscount Venancourt shall deliver up the cap tured vessels, and place them at the disposal of the Go vernment of Buenos Ayres, with all the appurtenances, arms, and crews. 2. That the Government shall not oblige by force any Frenchman resident in this city to do military duty, leaving those who are now enrolled in the companies of militia at full liberty to continue in or leave the service. 3. That the insults which the Viscount supposes to have been offered to the French flag, and the indemnities which he thinks to l due to the Freuehmeu by the measures or the Government, shall be points to be settled between the two Governments. After some farther negociations, it was agreed that the bulletin published by the Government of Buenos Ayres should be forgotten, and considered as having never been circulated, and as published at a moment when war de facto existed between the forces of his most Catholic Majesty and those of the republic. The vessels to be given up by Viseount Venancourt, forty-eight hours after he shall have received the ratification of the additional stipulations. Ju eE 9.—The Journal El Tempo states that some ne gotiations appear to be going on between the Governor and Don Juan Manuel Rosas. D. Gregorio Tagle had been sent to the camp of Rosas, and returned ; but El Tempo says—We de not know whether we ought to give credit to the reports which have been generally spread this night. At any rate we frankly confess that these comings and goings of some persons to the camp of Roses do not seem to us the best mode of treating. The French Papers contain a Circular ad dressed by M. DE LA BOURDONNAYE, the new Minister of the Interior, to the Prefects of De partments, in which he remarks that "it is the firm will of the KING to maintain the public liberties." He adds that the Government does not mean to disturb " established situations." The liberal Journals of Paris are still full of abuse of the' new Administration. • Brussels Papers state that during the last month the Turkish army has lost many men by the plague, and add their hope that this circum stance may induce the SULTAN to listen to the proposals for peace made by the French and English Ambassadors at Constantinople. The same Journals state that the summits of the Great Balkan are already in the hands of the Russians ; also that an Austrian army has marched towards Essnick and Semlin, where it is for the present to be stationed. Accounts from Corfu of the 16th July state that letters have been received from Napoli of the 7th, that the Russian Charge d'Affaires, M. BULGARIA, had remitted to CAPO DISTRIA a million and a half of rubles. Accounts from the Vistula of the 28th July say that the Imperial Guards have received orders to march to the army, and that if the Turks will not negotiate, the EMPEROR will proceed to the army in the month of August. By the American Papers, received this morn ing, we learn that a number of mercantile houses at New Orleans, of the first respectability, have stopped payment. A letter received by a merchant at Baltimore from Lima, dated April, says, " This country is at present in a most deplorable state ; money has lately disappeared, and the mines, the only re source, are not worked, or likely to be." A vessel has arrived at New York from Cam peachy, after a short passage, with the informa tion thavien thousand troops have been assem bled to repel the Spanish expedition from the Havannah :"- HAVANNAH, JUNE 2S.—The Mexican expedition, con sisting of ten thousand men, is to sail on the 4th of July, for Vera Cruz ; they are hardy, and fine troops, and will be replaced by fresh men from Spain. By the French mail this morning letters from Lisbon state that the news received from the squadron before Terceira is unfavourable ; a tempest had taken place which has prevented the squadron for some time from making an at tempt against the above Island. The commercial letters from Rio Janeiro this morning state that the exchange there had un dergone considerable fluctuation, having been as low as 23. At the departure of the packet it had, however, risen to 24-i. We have Gibraltar Papers this morning to the 26th ult. It appears by the advices from Cadiz that during the month of June 69 vessels arrived there from foreign ports, of which 35 were from Gibraltar. We have advices of a late date from Sierra Leone this morning, and we regret to state that the Colony was very sickly, and several deaths had occurred among the Europeans. In the last number of the Caledonian Mer cury there is an able article entitled " Political Injustice," the object of which is to canvass the l i public character of Mr. PEEL, and necessarily, ' by so doing, to defend hit, from the numerous attacks that have been so unsparingly heaped upon him by one and all of the Ultra Journals. Our cotemporary asserts that if there be one man on earth beyond another who has been subject to the most undeserved calumnies, it is Mr. PEEL. On this point we fully agree with him, though we are not equally convinced of the necessity of defending him at length. Mr. PEELstands on such a lofty eminence ;he is so much looked up to by all the more reputable portion oldie community ; and by his late high-minded con duct with respect to the im mor t a l C at h o li c Re lief Bill, has so fully proved his possession of those shrewd and enlightened ideas which make the perfect statesman, that any defence of him at the present juncture is not merely superfluous but even injudicious, inasmuch as it implies that he stands in need of it. Nevertheless, there desperate Ult ras , t o w h om are , we confess, a few a ge has brought neither wisdom ner toleration, who viewing in Mr. PEEL the enemy of their own e quaint,ttheir e xploded, b u t d ar li ng pre j u di ces, h ave s jackalls open- mou th e d upon - him, in the hope, we prestime, that in due time he may be frightened out of his wits by their howlings. On such men ail reason, however convincing, is thrown away. Our Northern Cotemporary, were he to discuss the case of Mr. PEEL for months together, were he to put forth proof after proof, argument after argument in his de fence, still his pleading would be merely sound ing brass or a tinkling cymbal, and be as com pletely lost upon each Ultra " master of the seven fold face"—as a Damian javelin on the bull hides of Ajax. - - - - - SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE.--(THIS DAY.)

Extract of a private letter received at the North and South American Coffee-house, by the mail from Buenos Ayres, of the 9th June " The civil war continues, and the authority of Lavalle extends no further than the streets of the city ; the Monteneros party increases daily, and amounts to 5,000 men ; they intercept the supplies to the city, and skirmish with the troops and militia almost every day in the very streets of the town. Lavelle has lost his popularity; efforts are now making to end this horrid war, and to open a Dego ciation for peace with the federal Chieftain, Don Juan Roses. Business in a manner is suspended here, and for weeks together the shops are shut, and every person liable to serve is placed under arms. Exchange, 10d. per dollar."

TWO O'CLOCK. Consols have been done in the course of the morning at 88 for the Account, and at present they rna) be quoted 87-i to 88, and for next Account 88k. A good deal of business has been done in the early part of the day. The private letters received from Manchester this day state, that business there was in a com plete state of stagnation, caused by the heavy failures, with reports of others. The number of people out of employ continues increasing daily, owing to the manufacturrs stopping their mills; and unless business soon revives, great fear is entertained of riots taking place. Private letters have been received from Cadiz of the 3d August, stating that the packet from the Ha vannalt had arrived there, which left the Bth July, bringing information that the expedition for Mexico had sailed on the previous day for the Gulf of MexiCo, but the real destination was not known. It was supposed they would land at Tampico or Catnpeachy. The troops on board amounted to 5,600 men ; there were still remaining on the island 1:3,670 men, without including the militia, which were composed of 7 to 8,000 men. It is now understood that the Gloucester is going to the Mediterranean to relieve the bpartiate, which has been out four years; also the Melville, to re lieve the Asia, which has been out three years. Letters from Amqerdam, received by the Mail this morning, state that a Pigeon Company has been formed there, and they receive expresses by them from Paris in 20 hours. Accounts have been received from Sierra Leone, stating that a great vumber of persons have fallen victims to a fever that rages there. The exchange by the packet from Rio Janeiro, comes 23i to 2.1•; but there are later accounts by three day., via Bahia, which brings the Exchange 25 to . The political affairs at Rio are more fa vourable than the last information. In the Foreign Market Danish and Russian Stocks have improved; Brazil Shares have lowered five or six pounds per share.
