SUN-OFFICE, Two O'CLOCK. TUE ALLEGED NOTE FROM THE ENGLISH CABINET TO SIR W. AICOURT, We can confidently assure the public, that there is not a word of truth in the Article which several Morning Papers have copied from the Quotidienne, pretending to give the substance of a Note from the British Cabinet to Sir WILLIAM A'Counir. The whole is a mere fabrication from beginning to end. Tut: KlNG.—Yesterday, though the Anniver sary of his MAJESTY'S birth was not observed as a national day of rejoicing, it being kept as a festival, by command, on the 23d of April, the King, however, received the congratulations of the day from a private circle of the Nobility and persons of distinction. The King's Pages, and some of the principal domestics had an enter- tainment on the occasion, which concluded with a ball, to which some of the Pages and th 4 prin cipal domestics of his Majesty's Royal Relatixei were invited. Those now in waiting at the King's Palace, Pall-Mall, had a dinner party on the occasion. The Carlsri(lth Gazelle,, of the 27th July, con tains an article, dated Augsburgh, to the fol. lowing effect :-- " Letters which we receive from all quarters infOrm us,that the English Cabinet has made important overtures to those of Copenhagen and Stockliplin. Denmark, it is said, enters en. tirely into the English .IN:dig. Sweden has not yet given it de: cided answer to the Note of the British Minister; lint the C2uncil of State has met several, times to discuss his proPosals, and the Swedish .Minister for Foreign Affairs has jtad confer ences with the English Ambassador, the object of whichls, to draw still closer the bonds which unite, the two couniries. On the other hand, a letter,, from Vienna. gives us to under stand that the East will tautly be the theatre of important events, as the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh at length perceives that the intervention of the. English and Austrian Ministers at Constantinople has prodneed no satisfactory result. A report has already been circulated at Vienna, that the Porte has with* drawn the forces which it had assembled in Thessaly, to send them.to the Banks of the Danube:" , . A Turkish Mail has brotight letters from COn stantineple of the 10th, and . riven Smyrna of the 2d ult. At the capital nothing important had occurred, but the accounts front Smyrna evince that the Turks persist in their determination to make the present contest a war oleiterlitinatidn: An inroad has been made by the Turkish t'ro'ops • from Smyrna on the inhabitant s of the stirroUntl= ing district, and more than 600 indiiiditals had been put to the sword. This slaughter , might, perhaps, if resistance had been made; adtrlit Justifi cation from the usages of " CiViliZed" Warfaili, but a hostile movement by the Paella of Bosiiia into the vicinity of 'VollO was niarked by all the atroci. ties which usually distinguish the incursions of barbarians. Twenty-ford' villages have been laid in ashes by the fury of his soldiers. TwO.,nr the Principal villages tendered their doconditional submission .tO. the Patha, tint it produced no other effect than an Order to put till the male population to the sword, and sell all the women to slaVery. These atroFitiei, however, produced the natural result of inflaming the Greeks in the highest degree' against' their cruel enemies, and animating them to the severest retaliation. Their causp, on the whole, is evidently in a prosperous condition. A Dresden Journal sayi, that an Jrnpartiit vestigation is carrying on in the University of Leipsig. A itind of pilgrimage made there hi! some students from Halle; excited suspicions of secret associations, and led to energetic measures; • since that, an innkeeper . Stetteritz struck a Polish Gentleman, who was a student at Leipsig. A hundred 'students (only a small part of those who are at Leipsig) .then went to Stetteritz, forced their way into the inn, which was :barricadoed, tore the billiard-table, broke the looking-glasses, and, in short, destroyed all the furniture; so that the damage is estimated at 500 crowns. The Swabian illcrcury says, that Dr. Mur hard, Editor of the (barer:al Pelitiral Annals, who has 'resided for several years at Frankfort on the Maine, has, expe rienced some obstacles to the continuation of his abode in that free city ; bUt it is not known whether foreign influence is hete concerned. However this may be, Dr. Murhard has applied to the. Diet, Whose Constitution expressly prohibits all per lonal periecution of writers. The result of this step is not known. CARCIA.—The detention of this admirable Performer and his Daughter in France because he Spaniard by birth, is another proof of the liberty which prevails in that country.—We,are assured that this performer has never Meditled with politics, but devotes himself to the musical profession, of which he is so great an ornament. As to the prohibition of THE SUN in France, we deem it honourable proof that we maintain principles of the utmost importance to the gene interests of mankind. It is somewhat ludi crous, hoWever, that the French GoVernment continues to .receive our Paper, though the people ore denied the pleasuie Of reading it: hope that if the French Government do not profit by the doctrines' which TtiE SUN incUl= cates, it will et least operate as some restraint, in manifesting .the odium .which it has excited by Its infamous invasion of a country struggling for - freedom, independence, and the universal rights of mankind.,'__ MRS. SERItES.—We perceive that an advertise ment announces an iiitended Meeting for the Pur pose of entering into a subscription for thit per. son, and that Sir GERAItb NOEL, Bart. is to take the Chair. It was said that the Baronet had aban doned her cause, but the r i epOrt, it appears, is erroneous. We have had several letters from Correspondents, expressing their surprise that her claims should not be effecttially reftited, ; or fully acknowledged , to be Weli4ounded. We before observed that, in a political , point of view, the matter should be finally Settled at this period, when the subject is rife, as one of the daughters of the claimant has been recently parried, and conseqUently there may be issue, from whom, at a future time, may arise claitriatits to the Sovereignty of the British dominions. Even those who are faVourable to her pretensions haie expressed their desire that if those pretensions tare destitute of foundation; the imposture may be ' , exposed to the satisfaction of Mankind. Mr. DYKES, the KING'S Messenger, arrived in :town on Sunday morning aboUt two o'clock, with dispatches from Sir Wm. A'Couni., to which very little importance was 'attached, as they were four days older than those brotight by Mr. WAUD on Thursday, Mr. DYKES having been detained at sea by contrary winds.

Lord Dudley has issued cards of invitation for an entertain ment to.moiTow, at his house in Park-lane. • . VAUXHALL GARDENS. The anniversary of his Majesty's Birth-day *as celebiated last night by a splendid gala at these gardens. This has al ways been a distinguishes festival at Vauxhall, but the pre- :tent, in the splendour and bifilitincy, of the various decorations and devices, the vast concourse of spectators (of whom we think ,not less than 10,000 were present) surpassed any thing of the kind we have seen for some years. A vtuy handsome musical temple, erected in the saloon, attracted considerable attention : there was also in the saloon bust of his Mijesty, surrounded *ith hiurel wreaths executed in lamps'. The whole had a most brilliant effect. In the fire-works, of which there was an un usually magnificent display, a bust of his Majesty was repre sentgcl in diamond lights, with the motto, " Ltmg live our ratiOn:" A view or Gadd was added to the tosmorama,ichich was much admired. The whole of the amusements of the even; ipg went off with great effect. Indeed, we never saw the gar dens to greater advantage. •;-• A TRIP T . O CALAIS'. , I The facilitlei which are now afforded for an excursion to the sbores of our Gallic neighbours, produce an itnmense in flux of visitors to Calais ' which has in consequence become extremely prosperous.. Scarce a day passes, that from a hundred to two:hundred passengers do not land from the dif.. ferent steam vessels which depart from the, Thames, from liamsgiite, and from Dover ; sonp of these proceed on to Paris,. but a vast number merely remain in :Calais for a day: or two, and having satisfied their curiosity, return once more to Make comparisons . in, n 9 .way unfavourable to their national habits. The' trip is a pleasant one, and may be enjoyed at a. very moderate expellee. The voyage from the river Thames is particularly attraCtiVe., ,and 'to those Who. litre bend sickness the inconvenience is very, little more, than what they must incur in going from Dover. It frequently that the voyage from the Tower to Calais pier is per. formed in eleven hours, the greater part of which 'time is of course occupied in passing down the Thames. - The common price for the passage from Calais to Dover is now but 55.,, this is principally owing to the competition among the steam: vessels. A very tine steam-vessel is now building in (dais harbour, wWch It is . expected will be launched in the course of the present summer. • YORK MINSTER MUSICAL FESTIVAL. The highest expectations are excited in the. Musical World by the approaching Festival in the Minster of. York. It is presumed that the effect of the full Orchestra of 450 perfor mers under the grand centre tower of that venerable edifice, the spacious nave with its two side aisles probably the largest area in Europe) being fitted up for the reception of the audience, must exceed any, thing ever witnessed in this kingdom excepting the Coinntemoration of Handel in \l'est- Minster Abbey, and the coup trail of the vast and splendid as seniblage beneath the lofty vaults of the Cathedral will be scarcely less striking. The great attraction of she meeting will, beyond doubt, be the tinrivalled Catalani. Many of those who have witnessed with ,astonishment the effect produced by this wonderful singer in a Church, or a Cioncext room, have long wished to hear her in Yorkminster, as fhe place where her amazing powers would be displayed to the greatest p e rfection. This opportunity will now be afferiltxt them. Notwithstand ing the great number of houses and apartments already engaged and the immense influx of company expected, we observe that the Committee still undertake to provide. Lodgings foi. those strangers who may be desirous of It. THI btkt OP WELLINGTOI4. ( From the Wolter:o,r journal. ) On Saturday last (the 9th instant)._ his Grace the Bait° of WELLINGTON, who is at present visiting Cheltenham tilf.,the benefit of his health, drove over to this city, accompanied by the Right Hon. Charles Arbuthnot; the Honourable W. L. Bathurst, &.c. &c. The Duke arrived here just at the time the Judges entered the city ; and on the circumstance being known, the bells commenced ringing, and our fellow - citli e n s ran in crowds to get a sight of the Hero of Waterloo.. After spending some time in viewing the Cathedral and County Gaol, the party returned to Cheltenham to dinner. Yesterday morn ing,(Sunday,.loth inst.) we were again honoured with a visit by thii illustrious Nobleman who came over to attend Divine Service at the Ca th edral, which, owing to his preience and.the circumstance of its tieing an Assize Sunday, was filled in every part. His Weee . his evidently suffered from recent indisposi tion ; but we rendee to find that the Cheltenham waters hare had a ,beneticial effect upon his health. It is with much pleasure we hear dial his Grace the Duke of Wellington, from motives of kindness to Capt. Marshall, has expressed his wish that the aster ` of the Cerenionies'iltill at Cheltenham should take place,during his visit, in order thet his Grace may :thew his personal respect for that Gentleman by at; tending it. In consequeneg of wastyiah, the M. C.'s Ball will take pUce this evening (Mondijr;Ohe I Ith inst.), which is earlier in the season than has hitherto been usual. ettriTtirliasi, 9.—The town is very gay, and the fashfonable Amateurs repeated the,; Play of Kierb John this evening to accommodate the numerinia persons who could riot obtain seats at the fitst representation the Duke of Nirelling. tori was amongst the audiezice,,, His Grace was called from henCe to town to attend h cAinet Council, and set off at twenty minutes before four o'clock on Thuistlay, Morn ing, previous to which he took the waters, anti to.the agree. able surprise of the promenaders, on Pritiak.inorning, at ten o'clock, he again appeared on the walks, thug exhibiting a singular instance Uri person partaking of the waters in Chel tenham on two success ive mornings, and travelling to anti from London in the interim, including four hours employed in the metr op o lis, and six hours sleep, which his Grace enjoyed,at Oxford. We are happy to state % he has derived most decided benefit from the use oi the Spa. His Royal Highness the Duke of Gloucester is expected here on Wednesday next. MATTIIEWS has renewed his theatrical engage ment with the Proprietor of the English Opera House. He is, we ,understand, to make his first appearance in the whimsical farce of Monsieur T is , on s on. As he an excelieptyrenchman, be will probably give an, admirable portrait of the poor persecuted Hero of the piece. The author of the farce has shewn much ingenuity in thus expanding into a dramatic shape the original popular tale, which, we are assured, was actually founded on fact. POETRY. THE ONE GRAND .POINT. . When Man and Wife, As oft in life • Both equally in fault we see, It needs must strike, That so like, Its wonderful they can't agree !* But Dr. Johnson, moral sage, Review'd the past and present age, • And ventured to declare, That Marriage (such its hapless fate) Was dearly an unnat'ral state, - Which none could:Calmly bear. " For mark," said he, "what laws are made, How binding, nothing can evade, When strifes arise, and Stormy :weather ; Yet, spite of all the law's dominion, Custom, and force of old opinion, Can scarcely keep the two tdgether.t A wedded pair there once existed, 'Twist whom' these doctrines were divided; The husband in the first persisted, The wife was for the last decided.

Kratni - .—On Monday evening last the Hon. Baron Penne father and Mr. Justice Burton arrived in, town ; the iatter int. mediately opened the Commission in the County Court house, when his Lordship addressed the Jury at some length. lie ex. pressed Ms pleasure at finding that the calendar was not particu larly weighty, or marked with any crimes of great atrocity. His Lordshipreconmiended strongly to the Grand Jury the necessity of due caution in finding bills of indictment. They ought only to be satisfied with such testimony as should in itself, if tincon. traverted in open Court, be sufficient to establish the guilt and Produce the conviction of the acensed. Bringing persons to trial on defective evidence ultimately defettied the.eptig ofjtis: tire. His Lordship spoke highly of the important advantages derived from the practice'of holding Petty Sessions. What placed the administration of the laws in these countries above the level of all other nations was, that they were administered in' open Court under the public eye, and su bj ec t t o p u bli c sernt i t iY. 1 This was the spirit of our ConstitUtion, and under every practi. cable circumstance shotild be adhered to. TippEnanr.—At the Aisizes for this county, Thornai AFC...rat/I was tried for the murder of William Dwyer, by a blow of a stone, on the 14th of May last. The deceased in a scuffle received a blow, which was the cause of his death, There was but one witness for. the defence, named Sally Fo garty, to prove that neither the prisoner nor his party were the aggressors. Mr. Lanigan turned her to good account in her cross-examination. The Court was convulsed with laughter when he asked her " if she e,ver,bled herself to death ?" mean.

TOLL COLLECTORi.—On Saturday tast, at Kington, Surrey, Major-General 13Lacitropn urged.a complaint before the Magistrates against Wir.t.i,6l Dacw, Tell-gatherer of Richmond bridge, for insulting him with abusive and scur rilous language in realsting a demand made by by' the . Toii;.man, who detained the Generall carriage until three :Millings and iixperice was paid by the driver (beYerid the usual bridge toll, who had a pOst-horse ticket with the horses from the Cekle Inn, at Rich mond. The Unprovoked conduct of the man was sii butrageonii that General BLAcn.

At tip moment the clergyman en tered the pulpit to read the prayers; he pre sented himself in 'the aisle wish his hat on.. Mrs. Mason, the pew-opener, assisted hini to a pew, and in the middle of the prayers he jumped up, saying, " Which road are we going ?" All was Consternation; and the clergyman suspended his duties for some time t many persons en tr e ated the unfortunate man to leave the church, but he incoherently protested he would not. At length snow, the bead lei after a severe struggle, ejected him by force; and he was carried home in a, coach to his friends. It is now said, that the fire which broke out at Madrid on the 20th ult., in, the Church and Convent of the Espiritu Sante, originated in a breyvery belonging to a German, who occupied one angle of the building - for that purpose, and for a coffee-house. Ile has confessed that he was 24 hours endeavouring to,exting'uish it ; that be called in no assistanCe, nor mentioned it, on ac count of the heavy fi ne imposed, on all persons in whose p re mis e s a fire breaks out. Agreat many persons were arrested on suspicion, all of the. Constitutional party, to Whom it was at tirst ascribed, but w ho are, however, not likely to, be released, notwithstanding the discovery now made. MERCANTILE SHIPPING; PORTSMOUTH, AUG. li.—Sir J. M.

The local situation of this port (its distance from London being pate(' in seven hours) is, the paramount reason for its selection by the spirited proprietors of the steam-packets.

The case was at the Instance of the • road trustees on the fiuthergien road; insisting upon double toll from a carter upon the lowing grounds i-,The carter, in passing the toll in Abe morn, ing, froin Glasgow, paid the metal dues. At that time there was In die cart (And its whole loaf a country girl coming to make markets there, anti whohad along with herat the time an empty jar and mune other articles.of very trifling bulk. in returning, it , happened that the carter good naturedly gave his female friend and her beggage(again his whole toady a ride hack, but in the rhenti time she had got. her jar filled, and had also with her a few purchases,. which. made her trifling baggage rather more bulky than what it hid been in the morning. The toll-keeper demanded double toll, insisting that the load was not the same which had passed in the morning.-frthat in .fact it had been altered, increased, augmented, was larger, heavir - r titan before—in short, that the load, animate and inanimate, had been materially changed from what it was in the morning, which brought it within the scope of, the tact of Parliament at liable to double toll.. The proprietor of the cart contended that it was the same female and her baggage which he had in the morning, and which he again had in , the evening as his whole load; and that in the interim .he had mm le no alteration in, or addition too hex person or her load, and cnnsequently was not liable either for double toll or penalty Which the Act of Parliament might prescribe; nor could. he in this 'case be made aerotintable for whet others might have done.
