Regulation Bill, and the Bill for appointing Com 'inissioners to inquire into the state of Courts of Justice in CHURCHES IN IRELAND. On the motion for reading this Bill a second timei . The Marquis of. LANST)OWN objected; that in Ireland, which was so mach burdened already, parishes should be put to the.expence, of building churches which had, in point of fact, no Protestant population. The Bishop of DOWN said, the great distress in Ireland grew, not nut of the tithe system, but out Of the system of ab .sentees. The clergy spent their incomes in the country. After a few words front the Earl of LIVERPOOL, Earl OnosvENniti Lora CLIFDEN, and Lord Itu , rnsnar.E, the second teadingul the Bill was postponed until Monday. LIMERICK CORPORATION BILL The Earl of CLARE'moved that this Bill should be read a second time. The LORD CHANCELLOR had not been able to go through . the evidence upon the Bin. He thought the mea -Isare contemPlated a very important and a very delicate one, and wished that the Bill should he 'postponed to Alonday. Lord lU'.DESDALE opposed the principle of the Bill. lle Said that the House was called upon (and upon a private Bill, -too) to take on itself wither a charter which had been granted ity the Crown. The Marquis of LANSDOWN objected to any postpone. tent of the Bill ; and took It to be a measure most important to the benefit of Ireland. The Bill, bad it come before an Irish Parliament, would have been a Public Bill ; it was made private One, only in compliande with the forms of the Eng lish Haim of Commons. The Earl of WESTMORLAND was for postponing the Bill, to dive time for considering the evidence. Thelarl of LIVERPOOL would not Oppose the reading of the Bill; hut wished rather to postpone it for the conve• nience of the Noble Lord on the Woolsacit. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY said that he bad not seen the 'evidence. The Earl of LIMERICK opposed the postponement. The Bill was then postponed till Monday. SCOTCH. JURIES BILL. . The Earl of LAUDERDALE moved .the second reading o. , this Bill. • - Lord MELVILLE said he would give his decided opp . osi, Lion to the Bill, on the ground that no practical evil had arisen the present mode of striking Juries in the Courts of Scot. land. lie therefore moved that it be read a-second time that ,day two months.

The Li ouse next resolved itself into a Committee on the above Bill. 9 20 - 11 The Duke of LEINSTER moved the insertion of a clause, 'the object of which was to exclude the Society of Freemasons in 'lreland from the operation of the Bill. The Earl of LIVEKPOOL said, he felt it his duty to op pose the introduction of the clause. Ile thought that the opera tion of the bill ought to he universal. If an exception were al. lowed in favour of any dues of his Majesty's subjects, however resectable, it would afford other, societies ground of complaint. Thu question on the adoption of the clause was then plat and -.decided in the negative, and the bill was reported without isrnenaltnent.—Adjourried to Monday. HOUSE OF COMMONS.

On the question that the New South Wales Jurisdiction Bill be read a third time, Mr. DENMAN asked whether it would not be possible to introduce the Improvement he had hinted at the other night, of making the return of the Jury rest with some known othcer, the Sheriff; or Provost Marshal, rather than with the Clover noe of New South Wales ? Wile W. HORTON answered, that in the present state of the • Oniony, justice would be more fairly administered if the return were made by the Governor. l'hei Bill was read a third time and passed. EAST INDIA MUTINY BILL. Mr. W. 'WYNN mend the third reading of the East India utiny BM. Mr. R. SMITH, after One remarks, moved that the clause he °mimed empowering the Governor of Bombay to issue war rants for summoning general Courts-martial. W. WYNN supported the clause.

Mr. WILIIIIRFORCE rose for the purpose of submitting a twiloo relative to the Slaves 'and Free 'lndians at Honduras. Ile turd tuttilkrts from 4 repgyt by Colonel Arthur, Vela.. tivei to the treatment of the" Slaves. lie did' not mean • tai, dvny that they received a sort of rough humanity from the • hands of, their matitere; they were provided with food and clothing, hut, owing to the pule regard *Web was paid to ' them In other respects, they were often exposed to great cruelty. ',De Honourable Member mentioned an Instance in winch is female Slave of a Dr. Bohun had been very cruelly used, for which, when that person was tried, he had been acquitted. 'The injustice which was practised towards the ' free Indians was still greater, because it wee contrary to all law. The Indians of .the continent - of America could by no , means become the property of any owners ; they Were free by birth, and nothing could legally deprive them of this freedoni ; but they were still held in slavery at Honduran. The Hen. Gentleman concluded by moving-- That a Select Committee be appointed to inquire into the condition of the slaves and free Indiana In Honduras,. and to report their observations thereon to the House." Mr. W. SMITH stated his conviction, that if laetrile thens were sent out by Government to Honduras, it would strengthen the bands of the authorities there, and enablethem to put an end to the cruelties which were complained'of. Mr.- W. HORTON suggested the propriety of withdrawing the motion until the next session, as the subject was now under consideration, and a measure would be introduced for the relief of the slaves. Pr, LUSHINGTON said, if his Majesty's Government devised any measure in accordance with the wishes of his lionourabie"Priend (Mr. Wilberforce), it would meet with the *beat support from that House, and, he was convinced, from the nation at large. • . 14r. F. BUX`VON enforced most strongly the necessity of ',interfering In belialf of theee . nnfortunato creatures. To prove . . the cruelties which were inflicted on the slaves at Honduras, lief quoted several passages from the " correspondence" on that subject, which had been printed by order of Parliament, and' called the particular attention of the House to the case of Dun cannette Campbell, who was tried for punishing her slave Kitty in a most •atrocious manner. The medical gentleman who examined - her, •deposed,` that she exhibited the scores of wounds, apparently inflicted with a whip or cow-skin, on her shoulders, left arm, neck, and face ; one of the stripes had divided the ale of the left ear, another had divided the left eye-hall; both eyes were much swelled and indented • so mach so, that it was some time before he could recognize fier. The defence set up by Duncanette Campbell was, that the slave was her own property, and that therefore she had a. right to punish her as she thought proper. The Bench, which con sisted of four Magistrates, briefly observed, without adverting to the aggravated circumstances of the case, that by law every owner was justified in punishing to the extent of 39 lashes; and therefore the only point for the consideration of die Jury was, whether a greater number of lashes had been here in flicted ? Without five minutes' hesitation the prisoner was acquitted. The Hen. Member concluded by observing, that when atrocities like this were committed with impunity, under the existing state of things, it was absolutely necessary that the Legislature should interfere. Mr. BUTTERWORTH read extracts from several letters, describing the cruelties which were inflicted on slaves at Hon dunes. • Mr. W. HORTON said, it would be very inconvenient to go into details on this subject—a course which was rendered the less necessary after the statement he had made, that it was now under the consideration of Government. There were circum stances connected with the situation of that colony which fully justified Clovernment in not having yet . taken any steps with respect to the treatment of slaves, or the conduct pursued to wards the free Indians. Mr. WILBERFORCt consented to withdraw his motion, in consequence of the assurance that Government bad taken up the subject. Mr. W. Of IT H presented a petition from the inhabitants of St. John's, Hackney, praying for the Abolition of Negro Slavery.—Laid on the table. Mr. 'W. SMITH moved for a return of the amount of the Slave Population in each of his Majesty's Colonies, distinguish ing males from females, for each year, since the first establish ment of the office for Registering Colonial Slaves.--Ordered. Mr. W. HORTON moved for a return, showing the pro gress that had been made by the Commissioners for Auditing the Accounts of the Army, from April, 1822, to April, 1823. Ordered. The Return was afterwards brought up, and ordered to be printed.—Adjourned to Wednesday.

" PARIS, JULY 10, 7 o'CLocz, " To-day the French loan of 23,114,516 of renter has been adjudged to the house of Messrs. de Rothschild, Brothers and Co. Four o'clock wits the hour appointed by the official an nouncement of the Minister of Finance for receiving the ten ders of such Companies as intended to bid for this Loan. The public rooms of the Alinister . of Finance in his hotel, in Pile Neuve Petits Champs, were thrown open to the public about two. By three a considerable number of persons had col lected. At four the suit of public rooms were nearly filled, anti the apartment, where a kind of bureau was placed for the Contractors and the Ministers, was crowded to excess. One would have supposed that the Stock ,Exchange had adjourned from jobbing in the funds to the house of the Minister trf. mince, to witness the creation of additional means of specula tion. At a few minutes past four, a bustle in the crowd announced the entrance of the Ministers. Not only the Ministers of Fi mince and War attended, but the Minister of the Interior, and the Minister of Marine. M. de Villele declared the sit ting opened, :and ordered the Royal Decree to be read, which authorized the sale of the twenty-three millions of renter. This dectCe was read by the Minister M. de Villele's secretary. After this the Minister's regulation, fixing the conditions of bidding, &c. was likewise read. 31. de Villele then formally, deposited on the bureau the sealed paper containing the mini mum foi which he would allow the :Tule; to be adjudged. These formalities being completed, the representatives Of the, different companies who intended to bid deposited their tenders. " The lists were four, and delivered in the following order: Ist, Messrs. I.afitte and Co. ; 2d, Messrs. Oreffulhe, Sartores, and Co.; 3d, Messrs. de Rothschild Brothers; and 4th, Cesar de Lapanouze and Co. After they had all been deposited and numbered, M. tie Villele began by opening M. latte's, which was numbered first. M. Lafitte, who had combined with A rdouin and several others of the liberal bankers, made a tender of 87f. 75c. for every hundred of renter : offering, of course, to fulfil all the stipulations required by the Minister of Finance's official regulations. This offer excited a little movement in the as sembly, as the renter, to-day, had left off' in the coidire, at six o'clock, at 90. francs 25 cents. M. Oreffulhe and Co's tender was then opened, and read. It contained exactly the same offer of 117 f. 76c. Messrs. de Rothschild and Brothers' tender was the third in, the order of presentation, and the third read. It excited not • a little movement in the meeting by its discrepancy with the two former. It offered to the Minister for the renter 09f. 55e., being nearly 2 per cent. above them. The fourth and the last test was that of M. de Lapanouze. It was the same as that of M. Lafitte and M. Greffulehe. The Mini. ster, after recapitulating the contents of the, four sealed papers, announced that he adjudged the Loan to -Messrs...-de' Roths child Brothers, their tender exceeding his sealed minimum, which of course was not opened. The Minister has since an nounced that his minimum was 80f. 50c. Though the bidding of Messrs. de Rothschild is much higher than the rest, it was still on 'Change considered so good a bargain, that their certi ficates were sold at one and a half premium. The, three other companies, it was supposed, from the uniformity of their W angs, had formed a coalition to keep the Loan among French capitalists." Czyr.oNtiu I rsatm At, Itilimms---The opinions of the Ceylonese, with respect to the punishMent of the wicked, are of a singular and very poetical kind. They believe that there are 0 principal hells, all of which are hollow metallic squares, composed of different alloys of the common metals, with out any openings. In each there is an intense fire, which burns constantly without fuel. Though they do not differ in kind, they do in degree ; the lowest being the largest and, hottest, and the punishments inflicted in them proportionably severe, and cif longtx duration. Sinners are doomed to diffe rent hells, accor din g, to the degree of their crimes ; thus, those who are merely guilty in thought and, intention descend to the first hell ; and us the crime deepens Its tly - e, the sinner sinks lower. For each great sin there is a particular kind of punishment :--for murder the wretch is perpetually murdered, and the - very act he has been guilty of, in all its minute circum. stances, is constantly repeated on him; for stealing, the sinner is punished by gents of great value in appearance tempting him to seize them, and when seized turned into fire-; the drinker of spirituous liquors is drenched with melted lead; the liar is con stantly tormented by the application of red hot irons to his tongue; and the adulterer is punished perpetually by climbing up and down a thorny . tree in pursuit of his paramour, whom, when he is below, he sees alluring him above, and wh o m, when he lies forced his painful way through the thorns to the top, he sees practising the same arts below. Besides these particular punishments, there are innumerable others. Tney all suffer dreadfully from intense heat, and from hunger anti thirst, the pains of 'which are heightened by the expectation of gratifies. tion, which instead of enjoying, they swallow fire. Besides they are liable to be impaled on burning brands anti to be flogged whilst burning, and to be cut and chipped, and ta. shloned like wood. PARIS PAPERS. FOURTH CORPS. DISPATCH rno3l MAILSIIAL MONCEY TO HIS EXCELLEWCY THE MINISTER AT WAR. Gcrona, 4M Jag, 1823. MONSEIGNEUIU"A hundred and twenty men from the fort of Figueras surprised by a rapid sally tbi post .at the Jonquiere gate, in the town. The 42b.Lieutenant Dtittas, of the sth of the Line, sprung forward with - twelve men, and recovered the position at the point of the bayonet, with three parts of the causeway which leads from the town to the fort.' Two soldiers of the garrison were wounded, but we did not sustain any loss. Two hours afterwards the garrison made another sortie, in larger force; a brisk firing ensued near the Jonquiere gate. General Maringone advanced with forty tirailletirs, when the enemy was vigorously repulsed; he had four men killed and five or six wounded. A soldier of the bth infantry was killed, and five or six of the same regiment were Wounded. Lieut.- General Baron tie Dames praises in the highest terms the con duct of Lieut. Dumas. Baron d'Eroles has presented himself, with his troops, and the brigade of St. Priest, before Seo d'Urgel. Mina had pre viously quitted that place, leaving such troops as had escaped in the engagements of the I Ith and 15th of June, and replacing them with seven or eight hundred men of the garrison. lie moved rapidly on Cervera and Tarragona ; but has not en tered Cardona, as was supposed. Baron d'Eroles occupied the town of Urgel, and leaving before Sco, General Roma. gosa, with two Spanish battalions and some companies of the French, he marched on Cardona, which place he would invest with his troops on the 30th. The brigade of St. Priest continues his march on 31anresa. A dispatch which I have just received from Baron d'Eroles announces that he will confine himself to observing Cardona, and that he will after %raids march on Tortosa. On the 28th of June, the garrison of Seo made another sortie, and was repulsed. Orders had been given to Lieut.-Colonel d'lson to reinforce the blockade with the 3d battalion ofthe 2d regiment of the line. Mina arrived in bad health at Tarragona. He left on the 26th for Barcelona; his head-quarters are established at Sans, about half a league to the left of the town. The Ist battalion of the 00th arrived yesterday at Gerona. Twit others, as will as the 16th regiment, will arrive in suc cession. They continue their march in the direction of San Celoni and Cardeden. I leave Gerona to-day, and to-morrow shall establish .my head quarters at Mataro. The troops are approaching Barcelona, and by the time your Excellency re ceives this letter I hope that the . blockade of that place will be formed us close as possible, both by sea and land. I have the honour to be, &c. Marshal the Due de Cornegliano, MONCEY. Allll' OF THE PYRENEES. BULLETIN. IliA Royal Highness has received the following details of the expedition of Marechal-tie-Camp Hubert, in the Asturias : The General having succeeded, on the 23d, at two o'clock p. m. in collecting some boats at Riba de Sella, made the ne. cessary dispositions for transporting across the river the two battalions of the 21st. Campillo immediatly quitted his posi tion, but Col. Goutefray, of the 21st, impatient to come up with the enemy, went in pursuit with three companies, as soon as they were landed on the left bank of the Sella. After four leagues quick marching on the road to Gijon, he overtook Cam who haduken up a position in the village of Couvion, near Colunga. hie did not hesitate to attack him, though he had but 90 men with him. • In spite of a stout resistance the enemy was dislodged.. Campillo having succeeded in rallying his troops, and perceiv ing to what a small number they had yielded, endeavoured with 500 men to retake the village ; but Colonel (outefray had so ably disposed his ninety brave men, that he managed, with only a part of them, to repulse the attack. General Hubert came up at this moment with an escort of fifteen hors'e chas seurs ; and taking the command, the enemy were completely muted, and did not rally till favoured by the darkness of the night. This affair cost Campillo 33 . killed, of whom two are superior Officers, 42 wounded, and 57 prisoners. We have taken, besides, 8 wagons fiNd with arms and ammunition, which were immediately given to the Royalists of the country, who presented themselves in great numbers. We have only to regret the loss of two killed, and five wounded ; among whom is the Chief of battalion Bartholet do la Georgette, who power fully contributed to the success of the day. General Hubert slept on the 23d at Colunga, and on the 2 . at Villaviciosa, where he was received by the inhabitants with the liveliest enthusiasm. On the 25th he marched on Gijon. At his approach Campillo retired so suddenly that he left be hind. a contribution 'of three hundred and seventy-five thou sand francs, which was ready to be delivered to him. His wounded threw themselves with such precipitation into the boats a lready loaded with arms for Corunna, that one or theM was upset and sunk. A great quantity of muskets, which were piled upon the quay, were thrown int ) the sea by the soldiers, who, for the most part, concealed themselves in the town, in order to join afterwards our troops. Twelve 24-pounders, one twelve, some muskets, 200 boxes of ease-shot. and other am: munition, have fallen into our hands. The troops who pursued Campillo by the road, along the soo-shere, made further 50 prisoners, while General Hubert pushed directly on Aviles a detachment of infantry and cavalry, which Completed the destruction of the enemy. Communica tions have been afterwards established with Gen. leAlbignac, by Oviedo, where General Hubert would arrive with his ca valry and the 7th Light Infantry on the 20th. While these operations were going on, the Spanish General Longs, who pursued the band of Santa Rania on the road of Oviedo by Mi er G auges and. Insiesto, attacked that pArtisan on thc 211, made him prisoner, with 35 of his men , took three hundred mu s k ets, an d, c ontinuing and caused i t ot h er the pursuit of the band, Which consisted of a bout 300 men, captured next day its bug gage,losses. General Longa arrived on the with at Insiesto. [Here followa a particular eulogium on the corps and officers employed in these different affairs.] -- . Count.O • Dunnel, Captain-General of Old Castile, informs lutionary his noYal Highness that the moveable column, under the or ders of Colonel Count de Negri; has completely beaten a revo. Colonel June, and taken its cannon.. This affair does the more honour corps in the environs of Ciudad Rodrigo, on the 27th to the Spanish Royalist troops, .that they have had the advan. tage over forces much superior in number. Alondeden, of the division of the Spanish General Beasieres, has destroyed; on the 28th, ut Please, near Sisante, almost on th e f ront i ers of Al ur cia, a detachment of 1.89 cava liers of the enemy ; he has taken a Liutenant-Colonel, three other officers, and a great number of snub-officers and soldiers, autong whom are many wounded. A few - only of the cavalry have succeeded in escaping. Ilead..Quarters, Madrid . , 2tl July, 1023. By order of his Royal Highness.. . Tile 31ajor-General Comte GUILLEMINOT. nou ' Ls JUY 9.—Yesterday the Duke of San Carlos, Ani_ bassador from Spain, was introduced to a solemn audience of the King. His Excellency was conducted to the audience by M. de Ladive, introducer of Ambassadors. Two state car. riagen drawn by eight horsey were Sent for the Ambassador to his hotel. His Excellency was attended back in the same man ner, as on his entrance ; the troops presented arms and the drums beat. Upon his introduction to the King, the Duke of San Carlos addressed his Majesty in the following terms : " Sire—The Regency of the Spains and the Indies during the captivity of the King, ,my master as charged me as the Ambikilsador Extraordinary*kis MajeAt to have the honour of pr6sehthig to your Majestylthkboilage of its profoisCre spect, and to express its tender affection for your sacred person, and its profound gratitude. Your Majesty has given to the King, your august relative,,noble and powerful succour in the brave and tine army which you have sent under the orders of a valiant and magnanimous Prince, whose generous virtues are imitated by his soldiers, and who merits by so many titles the glorious name of son, whiCh your Majesty is pleased to give him. " The misfortunes of my King, and of all his august family are increased. Condescend, Sire, to continue your noble and generous assistance, united in intentions and wishes with your august Allies, who already manifest an interest for the Re gency. Assist it in recovering its unfortunate Monarch, and crown your work with the same magnanimous generosity with which you have commenced it. Noble Spain merits it. " And for me, Sire, I est Lem myself happy in having the honour of being the interpreter of such sentiments; I have for a long time had the honour of being an admirer of the virtues of your Majesty. I am one of the most faithful, and of the oldest servants of my unfortunate King, and I have endea voured to prove on every occasion, my attachment to the august house of Bourbon. Condescend, Sire, to receive these senti ments with goodness, and to accept the homage of my most profound respect." The King replied, " I am very sensible, Sir, of the sentiments which you ex press to me, in the name of the Regency of Spain. I tollow it in its labours with the interest inspired by tender children who conduct the affairs of a father who is confined by sickness. God has hitherto protected the, justest of causes in a manner too visible not to hope that he will continue to it his support. " For me, strong in the purity of my intentions, and of those of the Sovereigns, my Allies, I am resolved not to lay down arms until I restore to Spain her happiness, to the King his liberty, and to Europe that repose of which the troubles of your country , threatened to deprive it. " With respect to yourself, Sir, I recognize the intentions of the King, my nephew, in the choice which the Regency has made of you to represent it near my person, and I shall see you with great satisfaction exercise your important functions here." M. de Alartignac has been named Commander of the Legion of Honour. The Journal des Wats says that Rear-Admiral Rotour pro cured the restoration of the four French vessels taken into Al gesiras, by threatening to batter the town. The Memorial Bordelais announces the sudden death of M. Aria de Prada, new Intendant-General of Police at Madrid.— It is not knewo who is to succeed him. The Courier des Spectacles was suppressed yesterday by an order of the Minister of the Interior. PERPIGNAN, JULY I.—General Manso has died at Reus, Of a pulmonary complaint. (He was 39 years old.) Mina enterered Tarragona, where lie was very well received. He left it again with all his troops, reinforced with all that were disposable in that part of Catalonia, and marched on Mont Blanc. It is said that his plan is to recommence a campaign, and to operate on the rear of our army, at the time when our troops execute their movement on Barcelona. Donjon and Vaux were interrogated yesterday by the Judge of Instruction, in virtue of a commission sent from the Keeper of the Seals. The examination lasted six hours. Some per sons pretend that MM. Lonjon and Vaux are suspected of being agents of a Directorial Conunittee. ( From the Journal des Debuts. ) PARIS, JULY 10.—A telegraphic dispatch announces that the frigate La Cybele, commanded by M. de la liretonniere, arrived on the 7th inst. at Brest, bringing the Spanish brig • n Z i rc e ra i n ) t t ee u l n i e l , oetr w i i that etei Ministers a / Il ed g , titv a de n nn d l la in t t tlie s ai l rrn t e rese ll i a itgl d tn e aw o t n hio t o m n i a nt o the Cortes, and that the Minister of Finance had fled from Cadiz. (Front the Constilutionad.) It has been remarked that the illajor•General, in his official report of the 2d of July, makes no mention of the Proclama tions of Gen. Morillo, which, no doubt, were known to him.-- lie had, however, announced the defection of Gen. Abisbal. Hence it has been concluded that the propositions made by Oen. blorillo were not agreed to by our Generals, or that the latter, not being the competent authority, referred them to the Regency of Madrid. The Quoadienne assures us that Morino decided upon ac knowledging the Madrid Regency, upon the sole condition, that his troops should occupy the places of strength in concert with the French troops. Ihe Monitair makes no mention of this capitulation. 'Neither does it confirm the taking of Tarra gona. Moreover, this place was completely dismantled in the late war. From the Same.) PEttriawam, Jrnx 2.—The garrison of Seu d'Urgel ntad• a sortie oL the night of the 26th. The next day we attacked the fort, hut without success. On the 29th the bring was still heard from Puycerda. The Spanish Constitutionalists pretend that they gained an advantage in this afFair. They even say that the French troops, and chow of the Baron d'Eroles, ex changed fire for a considerable time, not knowing each othor. GERMAN PAPERS. FROM THE RUSSIAN FRONTIERS, JUNE 18.- We hear from all quarters that the late sudden changes in various departments of the Ministry, in the Cabinet, and in the Emperor's household, have caused a great sen sation abroad, and given rise to many reports. Even here many different accounts are in circulation. The letters from the ca pital even contributed rather to increase the uncertainty in which we were, than to raise the veil which hung before the whole bu siness. It was but to clear that every body was afraid to ex. presi himself in writing upon a subject which could not be touched without naming a great number of persons who had hitherto enjoyed very considerable influence. 'We were there fore obliged to wait patiently till the arrival of travellers, who, by their situation and connections on the spot, could know the real state of the case, or be disposed to communicate infor mation concerning it. From such persons we have now at length received satisfactory explanations, and we hasten to communicate what we have learned, the more so as the facts of the narrative do so much honour to the present character of the Emperor Alexander. It will be reinetubered, that this generous Monarch, not long after his accession to the throne, directed his attention ,to humane plans for the amelioration of the situation of the most numerous class of his subjects, and expressed on many occa sions his wish for the alleviation and gradual removal of die yoke of vassalage, which oppressed the Russian peasantry. — The Emperor himself began by setting a good example; order ing, by an Ukase, the emancipation of the vassals of the Crown. Several Russian Nobles generously followed the example given by the crown, and emancipated the peasants on their estates. 'I he Emperor, faithfid to his principles, succeeded in obtaining the abolition of slavery in the Baltic- provinces ' • and by the new organization of the immense provinces of Siberia, the slavery of the peasants is for ever abolished there ; meantime the benevolent views of the Monarch for the happiness of so many millions of his subjects, met with ninth opposition from the nobility in Russia Proper, and in order to disgust the Em peror with the idea l various means were contrived to excite a spirit of dissatisfaction and discontent among the emancipated peasants ; an object which was at - length obtained by rigorous exactions of the taxes. At the same time it was contrived to "represent this to the Emperor as a consequence of the emanci pation of the peasantry. As seine great men at the head of . the Administration, and about the Emperor's person, acted upon this system, the complaint of the oppresed - people could not reach the throne, and their distress was concealed from the Emperor. At length an Ecclesiastic, by the aid of the Em press Mother, acquainted the Emperor with the real state of the case, upon which a considerable number of persons were immediately removed front their offices. NUREMBERG, Jut.v 2.—ln the sitting of the German Diet on the 26th of June, a new memorial of Dr. Scliruler was read, which has been printed and distributed among the Members of the Diet; as in the Memorial the writer, referring to the state ment of the Hessian Minister, that " amicable arrangements had been made with Several purchasers of domains, so that most of them were satisfied," says, 'that to avoid misunder standings, he thinks it is duty to state to the Diet, that this ex pression of the Hessian Ambassador must refer to purchasers of domains who are absolutely unknown to him. Confiding in German integrity, and the wisdom of the Cabinets, he hopes the Diet will be enabled by instructions from the Government to decide this affair in the time fixed.

LONDON, S.ITURDAY, JULY 12, 1823. at A rumour, it appears, has been circulated Paris that BA LLASTEROS has already followed the example of Monit.Lo, while another report represents th e f o rmer Commander'to the Cort e s, and as , having. mad e a o as faithful movement w itlt his army, and taken possession of the pas ses of the Sierra Morena. Further ru mours allege that MORILLO, on hearing of the , restoration of the KING to his regal dignity,bad re newed his alliance to the _Constitutional Govern ment. The whole of these rumours seems to be with out the stamp of authenticity ; and that respect ing General Mottut,o appears to be still more improbable than the rest. Having publicly charged the 'Cortes with the commission of an , illegal act, little short of high treason, it is very unlikely that he can ever, think of re in entering I s ec t .r e goe r utli s ianctthe i r t y a ; .m . e hoeuaft b n e shi e fa n ,fvoi loudly eirlielei a cn c itics : the service of the present Govern men t. ng ide r of the as The Spanis h ec t I d : invasionetdo: even llro too much reason to suspect, the majority of the Constitutional. Commanders ha ve b een secre tly hostile. to that cause which they were appointed to defend, the Spanish. Government can only be pitied for having had the misfortune to employ men who were undeserving of its confidence. In our preceding columns we have given a statement of the contract taken by Messrs. ROTHSCHILD for the new French Loan. There seems to have been some juggle in the manage ment of this affair. Contrary to expectation, ite announcement has not had the anticipated effect ,m the Money Market in this country ; and but few persons se►em disposed to purchase the lieW rentes at a premium of 1 to 14. _ A private letter from Paris alleges th t ac• counts had been received from Madrid of the 4th instant, and that the French arms had expe rienced a very disastrous check. From circum. stances which we are not at liberty to explain, we place confidence in the preceding statement. We have received a Madrid Gazette of the 3d of July.—lt contains a decree by the rebel Re gency, directing in what manner the prisoners made from the Constitutional forces are to . be dis posed of. This decree consists of five articles, and a distinction is made between those troops who adhere to " a faction the author of the cala " mities which have overspread the Peninsula t '" and those " who h ave a bandoned the standards "of rebellion." The former kind, when taken prisoners, are to be conveyed to France, under the escort of Fryich troops. With regard to the latter, they are to be sent to towns fixed upon by the Regency for receiving them. The depots, ~~1 1 d~
