DUBLIN-MONDAY. (PROBI OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT. " When Pompey was desired not to set sail in a tempest that would hazard his bfe—' it is necessary for me,' says he, to sail, but it is not necessary for me to live.' Every man should say to himself, with the same spirit, it is my duty to speak truth, though it is not my duty to be in office."— ADDISON. Such was the language of the distinguished writer above quoted, at a period when the throne was filled by the last female predecessor of our present young and illustrious Queen. It was called forth by the state of parties in that day, which in some degree resembled the political struggle in which the empire is now engaged ; and it is not a little strange, that the same evil—disregard of truth—should ,be complained of in the reign of two Monarchs differing as much in years and royal disposition, as the times in which they lived differ in the interests and exigencies of their people. No subject, at this moment, more occupies the minds of many observant persons than the degraded state of a very great proportion of the public press. There is indeed de moralization enough, and an abandonment of that high spirit of manly pride and consistency, which should always characterise public men in promoting the public service of their country, to be met with on every side ; so as to render impar tial and disinterested observers heartily tired of the efforts made by both Whig and Tory to secure for themselves place and power. But passing events exhibit nothing so deplorable to the community at large as the prostitution of so many members of what has been so properly called the " fourth estate of these realms." And though the Liberal journals have not degraded themselves by contending with their ad versaries in the system of lying lately introduced, it is to be regretted that too many of them forget that they are the watch-dogs of the nation ; and in the discharge of their duty they show a greater disposition to fawn upon, than give notice of approaching danger to the guardians of the people. It is as painful to be obliged to have recourse to these insinuations, as it would be invidious to except many from the general imputation. But as Earl Mulgrave's Government has begun its administration on the broadest principles of equal and impartial justice, and as it still pro fesses to pursue the same course, it is due to them, as well as to the public, that all their acts should be commented upon with perfect freedom and independence ; and the more so, because Ireland must continue for some few years, as she has hitherto been, to be the arena on which Whig and Tory policy are to struggle for supremacy. There are two questions at this moment pending, of vital importance : Ist, whether the General Association should he dissolved ; and 2dly,how far it is expedient to comply with the suggestions of O'Connell's last letter, respecting the meeting of Liberal Peers and Members of Parliament in Dublin before the meeting of Parliament. On both questions there are dif ferences of opinion amongst Reformers, though the press is silent on the subject. Some say, Lord Melbourne's Cabi net, under the influence of that party in England so much prejudiced of late against this country by the falsehoods and vituperation of the Tory press, will be embarrassed by further demonstrations of the wishes and determination of the Irish people, as tending to increase English prejudices. Others say, that while we are denied Corporate Reform and an adjustment of the tithe question, we should continue to knock loudly at the gates of the Constitution, regardless of the offence we may give our enemies, or even the more pusillanimous of our friends—and that our clamour should be defended, rather than palliated or half censured, by a Reforming Government, as was the case last Session with regard to the General Association. Now, too many of the Liberal party seem afraid to speak their sentiments on these important subjects ; and the press encourages rather thou dissipates the apprehension. As to the fabrications of the Tory press, here and in England, they excite indignation in some, and contempt in others. In one company you hear it said the Times ought to be prosecuted, as the best means of refuting its calum nies, and conveying to Englishmen correct notions of Ire land, and Earl Mulgrave's Administration. In another, the ignominy of silence is thought to he the most judicious meaus of counteracting the intended mischief and villainy— allowing that journal and its brethren to perish in the in tensity of their falsehood and rage. Conformably to this view, I transmit an extract from the writer already quoted. Tt.ere are many authors," says Addison, " who have shown wherein the malignity of a lie consists, and set forth in pr.!per colours the heinousness of the offence. I shall bore con-ider one particular kind of this crime, which has not been so much spoken to—l mean that abeininablc practice of party lying. This vice is so very predominant tonongst us at present, that a man is thought of no prin ciples who does not propagate a certain system of lies. The coffee-houses are supported by them, the press is choked with them, eminent authors live upon them—our bottle comersation is so infected with them, that a piety lie is grown as fashionable an entertainment as a lively catch or a merry story. The truth of it is—half the groat talkers in the nation would be struck dumb, were this foun tain of discourse dried up. There is, however, one advan tage resulting from this detestable practice—the very ap pearances if troth are so little regarded, that lies are at present discharged in the air, and begin to hurt nobody. When we hear a party story from a stranger, we consider whether be is a Whig or Tory that relates it, and imme diately conclude they are words of course, in which the honest gentleman designs to recommend his zeal, without any concern for his veracity. A man is looked upon as reft of common sense that gives credit to the relations of party writers —nay, his own friends (qurero, Wellington and Peel ?) shake their heads at him, and consider him in no other light than an officious tool, or a well-meaning idiot. When it was formerly the fashion to husband a lie, anti trump it up on some extraordinary emergency, it generally did execution, and was not a little serviceable to the faction that made use of it ; but at present every man is upon his guard—tirc artifice has been too often repeated to take cffoct." IRELAND. DUBLIN, OCT. 21. INVESTIGATION IN SLIGO.—This case has not yet closed. About twenty witnesses had been examined on the part of the prosecution, and the general tenor of their tes imony was, that the charge the Dragoons were directed to make upon the people was wanton and excessively violent. The defence is, th't at the time of the charge a large mass of the friends of Mr. Junes rushed in the direction of Colonel Perceval's tally room, and that if a collision between the hostile parties had not been prevented by the interference of the Dragoons under the command of Major Browne, the consequences would have been fatal. The Registries arc generally in favour of the Reformers. MAYO-MANIA.—The High Sheriff of Mayo, Sir William o'!‘.l.illey, Knight, has declined to convene a county meeting, according to the wishes of a numerous body of requisitionists, for the purpose of adopting an address of congratulation to her Majesty on her accession to the Throne. The pretence upon which the loyal call was refused was this, that the requi sition bore signatures not in the handwriting of those whose names were used—a circumstance of common, and, indeed, obviously necessary occurrence. But the populhee will not be contravened by Tory officials, and with becoming self-respect and attachment to the Sovereign, the men of Mayo have re solved to hold their meeting, independent of his Knightahip. The 28th is the day fixed. A murder lately committed at Antrim, which was, as a mat ter of course, set down to the account of Popish bloodthirsti ness, turns out to have been the work of Protestants. PUBLIC DINNER.—An ample report of the highly interest ing proceedings incident to the entertainment given at Cork, on Thursday, to the City Members, Messrs. Callaghan and Bcamish, appears in the Southern Reporter. ABDUCTION OF FREEHOLDERS.-At the Carlow Sessions, on Friday, Michael Brennan, John Nowlan, senior, John Now lan, junior, John Brennan, and John M' Donnell, were in dicted for a riot at Tomard on the 12th of August last, and for an assault on Patrick Nowlan and Michael Brennan, and for confining them ten hours, without warrant or authority. After a large body of evidence was given, the Jury returned a verdict of—" Guilty" against John Brennan and John Now lan (the cooper), acquitting the others. The chairman con ceiving that John Nowlan had been found guilty only on one count, and John Brennan on two, sentenced the former to two months' imprisonment, and the latter to three. They were further sentenced to pay .51. each, towards the costs of the prosecution. Yesterday morning, at an early hour, workmen commenced repairing the city gates at Temple-bar, and were engaged in their operations until a late hour in the evening, in effecting the necessary alterations and repairs upon these ponderous barriers. From the accumulation of rust, mud, and dust, it was with much difficulty that they were moved on their hinges until well cleansed and oiled, re fusing to act. Their position has never been altered since the proclamation of the Queen, when, as is customary, they were closed. Several new panels were introduced into the gates, and we understand they will be repainted. The beautiful carving representing fruit and flowers, at the top of these ancient civic portals, was examined and found perfect. The work was almost completely obscured by filth, but upon inspection it was evident that the carving had been executed by no mean hand in this particular bralich of sculpture. Crowds of persons throughout the clay were watching the labours of the artisans. In furtherance of the great object of steam naviga tion to India by the Red Se a , the East India Company are now loading with Welch coal vessels of the largest size, at the Llanelry Company's new dock in South Wales, for the depots at Mocha and Bombay. The Court of Berlin has gone into mourning for three weeks, in consequence of the death of her Majesty the Queen of the Netherlands. A commission from the Prerogative Court to in quire into the circumstances touching the will arid codicil of the late James Wood, Esq., has been opened in this city. Several witnesses have been examined during the present week, and many others are expected to be produced. ...Gloucester Journal. PRICES OF STOCKS THE Ban!: Stock..... 21014 10 3 per Cent.

By the arrival of the New York packet-ships, Sheridan and Columbus, at Liverpool yesterday, we have received a file of New York Papers to the evenin g of the 2d inst. inclusive. Their contents are generally very favourable. In the House of Representatives parties are more equally balanced than they ever were before, although the New - York Morning Courier of the 30th ult. is of opinion that " the Administration has a dead majority in both branches of Congress--a majority that can triumphantly carry anything that is urged as a party measure." This statement is not borne out by the rotes of Congress. On a motion for engrossing the Bill for postponing the payment of Deposits, namely, for withholding from the se veral States the fourth instalment of the Surplus Revenue of the last year returnable to their re spective exchequers—the .Government only carried the measure by a majority of 2, there being 119 for, and 117 against the measure ; and the third readin g was only carried by 118 votes against 106. This Bill has since passed the Senate, and received the as sent of the PRESIDENT. On the question of the establishment of a National Bank, public opinion runs very high. The Finance Committee recom mended such a measure, and, in connnunicating the Report to the Senate, Mr. CLAY moved " that whenever a clear majority of the people of the United States shall he in favour of a National Bank, a Na tional Bank ought to be established." This Resolu tion was nef , ,atived by a majority of 31 votes against 15 or more than 2to 1 ! The American Journal already quoted is convinced that tlic Executive cannot come to any conclusion on the subject of a National Bank. Ac cording to Mr. WISE, there is a clear majority of both Houses of Congress in favour of a Bank ; but there is not a majority fearless enough to avow such a convic tion at the present moment. " There is," says the Morning Courier, " a large majority in both branches of Congress honestly convinced that an Institution like the United States Bank is in many respects ne cessary and proper' as a fiscal agent of the Govern ment and the people. But there is no disposition among the friends of such a Bank to agitate the ques tion at the present time. It is an unfavourable period for its organization. The people have not yet so purged and reformed Congress, that a Bank can be carried against the veto of the PRESIDENT. Perhaps the public mind is not yet thoroughly prepared for it. The people, it is not impossible, must submit to the untried expedient.' They must suffer under a second experiment, conducted by the same doctors who have nearly destroyed them with the first. It is, indeed, not a little ludicrous to reflect on the arguments of BENTON and WRIGHT ; and their extreme solici tude to prove the Deposite Bank System a humbug and failure. They hope to commend their new project to the people, by proving that their old project has been full of disaster and ruin 1" The same Journal concludes—" We are of opi nion that in the present posture of parties, no mea sures of relief can be expected from Congress. The only hope is in its further reform. Relief can come only from the primary action of the people in the re generation of that corrupt and degraded assembly. To this end all the energies of the Whigs must be de voted. Holding on by what they have already ac quired, they must prepare with additional vigour for future contests ; and when we shall find a Whig majo rity in both branches, then we may anticipate such legislation as will tend to the material and permanent relief of the people." For local news, and the minute details of public proceedings, we refer to our extracts from the American Papers, which will be found in another part of The Sun. The Tories of Scotland have no mighty triumphs to boast of at the late election—not that they were at all unwilling to use the iniquitous means which their brethren of the South employed but too success fully in many cases ; but that they found they had sturdier materials to deal with when they attempted to intimidate and to bribe. They entered the field with high hopes, cheered on by the prophetic halloo from Printing-house-square, that an addition of half a dozen to their representatives was to crown their efforts ; and to do them justice, they undertook and went through their work as if it was a " labour of love." They toiled day and night ; they distributed their money freely where money could procure votes ; they cheerfully gave up their time to the orga nization of their party plans ; brought forward to whatever point of the circle these could be avail able their well-drilled central bands of faggot voters ; in short, they bribed, threatened, coaxed, and cheated, on a scale such as had never before been seen in Scot land. The result of all this unprincipled exertion, however, was dispiriting. The Tories came out of the election worse than they went into it. Scotland re turned 34 Re .formers, and 19 Obstructives, in the first instance, a certainty that the former will be increased,, and the latter diminished, by appeals to the decision of election Committees. It is then ;fore p re tt y c l ear t h at t h e T or i es , whe ther of Scorch or English growth, have no great reason to crow about the assistance that their party and their principles derive from Scot land. They cannot deny that our Northern fellow-suli . jects are fully as well-informed upon matters 'elating to religion and politics—to say nothing of others—and are as capable of coming to a sound conclusion on the merits of men and measures, as those who have the happiness of living under a more Southern sun ; and Scotland thus becomes a sad stumbling-block to the gentlemen who are in the habit of spending a good deal of fanciful eloquence in theorizing about re-action. They can get on tolerably with Ireland. " The Irish are Papists and savages," they exclaim, 4‘ and therefore their great majority in support of Ministers is easily accounted for." The Scotch are neither Papists nor savages—will the wise acres tell us why Scotland has declared itself so strik ingly in favour of Reform ? These observations have been suggested by the re port of a jollification lately held in Paisley, for the purpose of celebrating the return of Mr. HOUSTON, the Member for Renfrewshire. Our Cotempo rary, the Paisley Advertiser, has seen fit to de vote a whole page to this report. We have read it over carefully, hoping to find something in it worth notice. But while we bear our testimony to the ability with which the report is got up, we must confess, we have seldom if ever seen so little good stuff—even in a Tory sense— contained in so ample a space. The speeches one and all are capital specimens of the art of drivelling. Lord KELBURNE was in the Chair, and from the twaddle that fell from his Lordship, we arc almost sure he must be a descendant of that silly personage whom BURNS celebrates under the title of the " Auld Carle of Kellyburn Braes." The Tories of North Staffordshire tried to get up a Conservative feed, at the Potteries, on Friday last. The affair was a miserable failure. No Tory of any name or standing in the county was present ; and from the tenour of the speeches it is evident that the Tory aristocracy would have considered it a degradation to have been seen in such company. Most of the guests recognized each other as apostates from the Reform cause ; and, when heated with wine, severally confessed the novelty of the situation in which they found themselves. Lords HARROWBY, MACCLESFIELD, SANDON, and BAGOT, were announced as Stewards, but they all declined attending, as did every other Noble man invited, except Lord ST. VINCENT, who edified the company by confessing that he had supported the Reform Bill. The lions of the evening, in addition to his Lordship, were Mr. W. B. BARING, M.P., Al derman COPELAND, M.P., Mr. JOHN DAVEN PORT, M.P., the Rev. R. C. ATKINS, and the Hon. Messrs. JERVIS and TALBOT. Lord ST. VINCENT presided ; and considering that it was his Lordship's first exhibition as Chairman of such an assenibinge, I the affair was not altogether so contemptible as might have been expected. In proposing the health of Mr. BARING, the Noble Chaiiman—throw n off his guard no doubt by a flood of recollections suggested by the up-turned visages of his audience— commenced his speech by remarking that " they lived in extraordinary times, as many of their had within the last few years taken different walks in politics. He for one bad been a Reformer. He felt that the times called for a change in the representation of the people, and he therefore supported the Reform Bill in the hope that it would be a final measure." The faces of the apostates brightened up, and confessions of apostacy became the order of the evening. Mr. BARING confessed that he " had voted for the second reading, of the Reform Bill, and that he had been the strenuous advocate of civil and religious liberty." The Hon. Gentleman informed his trencher-companions in one part of his speech, that " much of the misery of Iroland arose from the clergy being compelled to collect their tithes from the poor—they having no alternative between starving and enforcing their claims ;" and be- fore he sat down he assured them that it was not be cause the clergy enforced their claims, but because hey were not allowed to enforce them, that the country r: as miserable ! An extract from the speech of the Hon. Gentleman will serve to illustrate the ideas at tached by the Tories to professions of attachment to Reform : Much of the misery of the country [lreland] arose from the clergy being compelled to collect their tithes from the poor, and who had no alternative between starving and en fi)reing their claims. The Government, however, stepped in and said, " We will do away with these evils on one condition—that we be allowed to plunder the Church of the revenues she possesses, and of the 25,000/. a-year which we can prove is capable of being extracted from the Estab lishment, and apply it to secular purposes."—(Hear, beai.) Now he (Mr. Baring) would ask, what was the object in taking that small pittance ? The Conservatives were willing to give 100,000/. a-year, if necessary, for the purposes of education in Ireland ; but what their oponents looked to was the establishment of a prihciple, not the paltry sum, which was put forth merely to delude the unthinking.— (Hear.) When Napoleon attacked the farm of Hugou mont, it was not the value of the farm he considered in pounds, shillings, or pence, or the acres which were attached to it ; but his argument was this—he said to his troops, " Look at that farm, it commands those red=coats (point ing to the British troops), and if you destroy them, the world is at your mercy."—(Loud cheers.) So the Govern ment said the sum was nothing ; but he (Mr. Baring) would tell them, if they conceded this principl e , the Church would be at their mercy, and having the Church at their mercy, the Constitution of England would soon be at their mercy also.—(Enthusiastic cheering.) Mr. BARING has not the remotest conception of a Christian Church apart from a Pounds, Shillings, and Pence Establishment. He talks as flippantly of Mi nisters getting the Church into their power, if allowed to correct a single abuse in the appropriation of its funds, as if he had never heard or never believed that religion was a jot more independent of Parliament than the window-tax. He loses sight of the precepts of the blessed:Founder of our faith ;;and, anti-cirristianly, ad vocates the denial of justice, lest more than justice should be subsequently demanded ! Such is the doe trine of the Tories, and such is the doctrine which, carried into effect by the Legislature, has hitherto filled Great Britain with dissent, and Ireland with an attach ment to the religious dogmas inculcated by the Holy See, which no persecution has been able to eradicate. " Be just and fear not," is not Mr. BARING'S motto, His axiom is " consent to the correction of no abuse, lest the good that is sheltered by the evil should be ex posed. Pay no regard to justice—sacrifice truth to a hatred of change—of Reform." If the inculcation and observance of such immoral maxims as these be consi dered by the Tories necessary to the maintenance of the Church—to the support of a system which they pretend to believe is based upon the imperishable word of GOD—to what an excess of iniquity would they not have recourse to uphold the tottering fabric of an in stitution, for the existence of which neither the grati tude nor the common sense of Englishmen offer a gua rantee—namely, the House of Lords ? Mr. DAVENPORT and Alderman COPELAND were loud in their declarations of attachment to Re form. The former gentleman acknowledged that he had entered Parliament as a Reformer ; that he had voted for the Reform Bill, for Lord ALTIIORP'S Church-rates Bill, and for the other measures advo cated by the Whigs up to the appointment of the Peel Administration, when he ratted in company with the other gentlemen who had spoken before him. THE S 6", LONDON, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1837. Alderman COPELAND was equally explicit. He too, as Member for Coleraine, had voted for the Reform Bill ; and was still the enemy of abuses, though like his friend Mr. BARING, he was opposed to their re moial where that would introduce the principle of change. Of the other speeches delivered on this occasion, the less we say the better for the orators. They consisted principally of abuse of O'CONNELL, of denunciations of Popery, and of maudlin laudations of the Popish Emancipators, Sir ROBERT PEEL and the Duke of WELLINGTON. In fact, the whole of the speeches delivered at the Potteries-gathering may be justly entitled " Confessions of the North Stafford shire Political Apostates." We have been favoured this afternoon with a copy of the forthcoming Number of the " Edinburgh Review," (to be published on Thursday), and we have great pleasure in pointing particular attention to the last article—" Ireland under Lord MULGRAVE." It is conceived in a spirit of strict impartiality, dwelling more on facts from authentic documents than gratuitous assumptions dictated by party prejudice, political rancour, or religious animosity. The reviewer says, very truly, that as the population of Ireland now exceeds a third of that of the whole United Kingdom, every Englishman must see, both in the aspect of political parties, as well as in many late political events, convincing proofs of the extent to which a reciprocity of interest exists between the two countries. Both are now so closely connected that the condition, no less than the temper, of the one must sensibly affect the condition and temper of the other. The same life-blood circulates in both--and the same laws—the same measure of justice should be dealt out to both. But what has been the fact for the last three or four hundred years / IP—let the long red roll of oppression an swer ! Tory domination and religious persecution have ground down a generous people to the dust. But the day of regeneration has arrived, bearing redress of grievances and consolation on its wings. We have not time or space to enter into the merits of the article in question, but the reviewer proves very satisfactorily how much the country has recently benefited under the paternal Government of Earl MULGRAVE—that crime, the peculiar feature of Irish history, has in a great measure disappeared, and may now be said comparatively to be far less prevalent than in England. Now if the end and aim of good Go vernment be the improvement of the people, we think that the reviewer has proved Lord MULGRAVE to have achieved that inestimable blessing for Ireland, and consequently has benefited England also, by con verting the sympathies of a people who were of necessity " alien" into those of kindness, friend ship, and mutual good-will, based on a community of national interests and equality. We direct the attention of our readers to the report of the proceedings at a public meeting held at Carrick on-Suir last week, to take into consideration the pro priety of establishing a Branch of the National Loan Fund Life Assurance Society in that town. The meet int: was addressed by Mr. T. LAMIE MURRAY, Secretary of the Institution, whose excellent speech we recommend to the careful perusal of our readers. The plan of the Society was cordially approved of by the meeting ; and influential men of all parties united. to render it all the support in their power. We trust, for the sake of Ireland, that it will meet with equal success in every part of that King dom. Confident of its beneficial operation, and aware of the great necessity existing for it in a land where no legal provision for the poor exists, we con sider it a sacred duty to allow no opportunity of recommending it to the consideration. of the Irish people to pass in Silence. As we have some sugges tions of our own to offer, we shall recur to it again, if possible, in the course of a few days. By the arrival of the Ocean steamer at Falmouth on Sunday, we have received advices from Lisbon of the 17t.h, Oporto of the' 18th, and Vigo of the 19th inst. They are of some importance. The Constitu tional Cortes have at last settled the question of the mode of appointing the Senate or Second Cha nber. The number of Deputies who voted upon this measure was ninety-one. Four resolutions were submitted to the Chamber. The first vested the appointment of sena tors exclusively' in the SOVEREIGN. A division took place, when there appeared— For vesting the power in the Crown Against it 76 The second resolution vested the appointment of the Senate exclusively in the people. A division fol lowed, when there voted— For vesting the power in the people Against it 4l The third resolution declared that senators should be appointed for life, and was instantly rejected. The fourth acknowledged the principle of periodical election, leaving the period to be fixed at some future occasion, when the votes were— For the periodical election of Senators 6l Against it 4 Thus, on every point were the advocates of Royal prerogative defeated, and the appointment of the second Chamber, as well as the first, vested exclusively in people. We would have preferred a division of the privilege of nomination between the crown and the people ; and such assuredly would have been the measure passed by the Cortes, had not the KING and QUEEN convinced the Deputies that in their MA JESTYS' oaths the Constitution would find no guaran tee of protection. The QUEEN, finding that she can neither dispense with the services►, nor get rid of her present Ministers, begins to treat them with the consideration due to their official character. The 'KING, too, has lowered his tone cousiderably. But money is sadly wanted. There are no available funds even to pay off the dividends, and some of the Journals talk of the expediency of an amicable adjustment with the public creditor—in other words recommend a national bankruptcy. We find no other intelligence of any interest in these advices. The Minister for Foreign Affairs has addressed the following circular to all the Foreign Am bassadors resident at Lisbon, on the subject of the attack made on the British Government, in Viscount DAS ANTAS' General Order to the Portuguese army, of the 20th of September, to which such repeated refe rence has been made in the columns of The Sun. The apology is sufficiently ample, and ought to satisfy Lord HOWARD DE WALDEN, whose spirited conduct relative to this affair merits our most cordial appro bation : " It was with the greatest pain that the Government of her most Faithful Majesty became informed that there bad been transcribed among the official articles of the journal V edeta da Liberdade, No. 213, printed inthe city of Oporto, a copy of an Order of the Day, dated at C haves on the 20th of the current month of September, i n which expressions are ascribed to the brave General Viscount Antas, entirely un suitable to his noble and elevated character, and extremely unjust and offensive, if intended to be considered as alluding to the British Cabinet, which has always merited, as it does , decidedly merit, the esteem and consideration of her Majesty and of her Government. II The latter hastens to declare to your Excellency, in order that you may make it known to your Court, that the same Government not only reproves and condemns in the most positive and solemn manner those unjust and offensive expressions, but will employ all the means at its disposal to ascertain who it was that, in an underhanded and fraudulent manner, occasioned them to be inserted in the above-men tioned Order of tho Day, or in the copy of it which was pub lished, in order that it may proceed respecting it with all the severity which the degree of criminal culpability imputable to them requires. _ " God preserve your Excellency. (Signed) " MANOEL DE CASTRO PEREIRA, " Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, this 29th of September, 1837." The Marquis of SALDANHA, his Lady, and house hold have arrived in England. Reports of a fresh in surrectionary plot, sanctioned by their MAJESTIES, were rife in Lisbon and Oporto when the Ocean left the Tagus. A telegraphic despatch just received from Paris announces the floating of the tri-coloured flag on the walls and minarets of Constantine. On the 6th inst. the French army appeared before the city ; on the 11th, the artillery opened a murderous fire upon the besieged, which in the course of twenty-four hours effected a breach in the walls. The onslaught was terrible, but we have no accounts except that the French were triumphant. Copies of the " General Orders" of Count DAM REMONT and ACHMET BEY to the French and Arab armies are given in the French official organ of Sun day. General DAIVIREMONT'S address is as follows: " October 1. " Soldiers--The expedition against Constantine is about to commence. On you devolves the konourable task of aven ging your brethren in arms, who, betrayed by the elements, beheld last year the failure of their courageous efforts under the walls of that city. The ardour and confidence which ani mate you forbode the success that awaits you. France hasher eyes fixed upon you; her fervent wishes and solicitude accom pany you. Prove yourselves worthy of her, of the King who has confided to you one of his sons, of the Prince who has come to share your labours, and the country will glory in num bering you among its children I " DAMREMONT." The following is ACHNIET BEY'S appeal to his countrymen : " The French have occupied Bona now three years, and we tolerated them. They had appointed a Bey, the unfaith ful Youssouf, who called himself a Mussulman, and who, whilst he commanded, round the place committed all sorts of horfors. He bathed himself in the blood of our brothers, cut off their heads, and robbed them of everything they possessed, for the purpose, no doubt, of enriching the French, since they winked at his sanguinary acts. That enemy of God came last to Stah-el-Mansoura, to ruin, to sack our noble city. I forced him to retire, as you know. " Some days ago the French wished to make peace with us. I was as anxious for it as they were, for the welfare of all ; but the conditions they required were too onerous, too afflicting for true believers to be acceptable, as you shall presently see. They asked to be allowed to place a garrison of 3,000 or 4,000 men in the Casbah, to erect a fort at Stab-el-Man soura, and another at Coudiat Ati ; they insisted on my paying them the tribute I paid the Pasha of Algiers, to gether with the seven years' arrears due since they have oc pied the country ; and, finally, on my delivering up to them 500 young maidens at their choice. Children! will you accept those conditions, at which I shudder and feel indignant? If so, I shall mount my horse, with my son and daughter, the one before, and the other behind, and fly towards the desert, where I shall bury myself, after leaving my children in a place of safety. If, on the contrary, you ar e goo d Mus sulmans, and do not wish to deliver your children into the hands of the unfaithful, rally all of you around me ; let us defend our country and the law of our Prophet, or perish all together !" What there is else of any interest in these Journals will be found in the annexed extracts from them : The Sentinelle des Pyrenees of October 17, has the fol lowing article : _ _ The Supreme Royal Junta, as it is called, composed of four members, representing Navarre, Guipuscoa, Alava, and Bis cay, has met at Villareal de Tumarraga, for the purpose of raising new contributions, of augmenting the duties of cus toms, and of selling the property belonging to the Christinos, which has been seized. The arrival of 900 English at San Sebastian is every mo ment expected. ST. SEBASTIAN, OCT. 1 L —Yesterday the English Legion, which is reduced to a battalion of infantry, a hundred lancers, and two batteries of artillery, were reviewed. Two redoubts are erecting—one on the eminence of Ca cholle, and the other near the light-house of Montipio ; 300 men arc employed on the works, which are directed by engi neers, and miners of the English marines. The following is from the Moniteur Algerein, Sept. 29 : Nothing remarkable has occurred during the week in the pro vince of Algiers. The apprehensions that were felt for a mo ment for the consequences of the troubles in the East are allayed, and everything pronounces that amicable relations will soon be established between us and the Sheik Said, Outidou Cassi. The three envoys from that Sheik, whose arrival at Algiers was announced in our last number, have again left this city. Abd-el- Kader did not enter Medeah on the 22d as was stated. According to official accounts brought by a courier, who arrived at Algiers on Thursday, the Emir will be on the 6th October at the foot of the mountain of Miliaria, where Ben Aratch already is with a corps of troops. He will go thence to the Hadgantes, and will be on the banks of the Chiffa on the Bth or 9th of October. His intention is to go afterwards by way of Tineah to Medeah, where he thinks to make a long stay.—Moniteur. LOGRONO, OCT. 13.—The brave Zurbana has been for a moment to Logrono, and has set out again for Haro. All the population went out to meet him, and received him with acclamations. I:ranga has retreated toward Echaure. Ullibari and Martin Iriarte are in the environs of Lodosa with 8,500 infantry and 700 cavalry. " It is reported here that Oraa has made himself master of Cantaveija. Our correspondent at Toulon writes on the 18th : " The hospitals of St Mandrier is fitting up with all expe dition as a lazaretto. A telegraphic despatch from Marseilles announces that 1,500 sick embarked on board different vessels and coming from Bona, had been refused admission to the Lazaretto of that port. It seems that admission was also re fused them at Algiers.— Constitutionnel. The beautiful and extraordinary fine weather which we enjoyed for the last three months seems at length to have broken up. A change was indicated on Sunday, and last night slight rain began : but all this forenoon (Tues day) we are visited with a continuous shower, so that Lon don has all the appearance of a dirty November's day, when grand bail is to be taken at Westminster Hall. COURT OF ALDERMEN.--Yesterday a Court was held at the Mansion-house, for the purpose of making re gulations for the 9th of November. The arrangements were, of course, discussed with closed doors. No doubt is entertained that they will be of the most effective kind, and a conference will most probably be had with her Majesty's Government on the subject immediately. • The lady of the Rev. J. Gwynne, rector of Port stewart, county Antrim, went, on Wednesday last, with her waiting-maid, to bathe. Unfortunately, the tide ran so strong as to overpower both, and swept them away. Mr. C. Kean commenced a week's, engagement at the Brighton theatre yesterday evening. The following fashionaGies visited the Haymarket Theatre last evening to witness Sheridan Knowles' admir able comedy of The Love Chase, and Mr. Ranger in Thc Romantic Widow, both of which nightly increase in attrac tion :—The Duchess Canizzaro, Earl Litchfield, Earl Bel fast, Earl Charleville, Lord Waldegrave, Lord W. Russell, Lord and Lady A. 'Warden, Lord Sleaford, Lady Mont ford, Lady E. Rymer, Lady Dickson, Hon. E. Byng, Gen. Vincent, Hon. Granby Calcraft, &c. Sixty guineas and seventy guineas per cent. were g iven at Lloyds' on Saturday, on missing Jamaica vessels. Southey, the Laureate, appeared in the Court-house at Cockerrnouth on Tuesday last, and subscribed the oaths of allegiance, abjuration, &c. His appearance excited much interest, and the earnest style in which he promised to abjure the discarded " damnable and heretical doctrines" of Papacy had something bordering on the ludicrous in it. Mr. Southey's hair is now nearly grey, but still very thick, and is matted over his forehead. His features are sharp, with an eye peculiarly bright and piercing.— Whitella yen Hcrald. REMARKABLE COINCIDENCE.—TB the neigh bourhood of Berkeley-square, there are three surgeons, all enjoying excellent practice, whose names are Slaughter, Blood, and Death. On the 15th inst., as the birthday of his Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Prussia, the first stone was laid of the free port about to be constructed at Coblentz. DOVER, OCT. 23.—His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge has arrived here. Lord Petre, Lady Frances and Lady Palgrave, Sir William and Lady Merries, General Evans, M.P., and his Lady ; Henry Broadwood, Esq., M.P. ; Lady Murray, and Lady Williams have ar rived from the Continent within the last few days, and have left for town. VALID EXCUSE.—Yesterday morning, while the grand jury were being empannelled at the Central Crimi nal Court, several gentlemen applied for exemption, among whom ;was Mr. Henry Gerard Oldham,a citizen of Lon don. A person appeared on his behalf, and begged that the Court would excuse Mr. Oldham, under very peculiar circumstances. Recorder--First of all, state what those peculiar circumstances are. Applicant—He is going to be married this morning, and therefore he cannot come.— (A laugh.) Recorder—Well, as this peculiar circumstance is not likely to arise again the Court will excuse him. The charter for incorporating the town and su burbs of Devonport received the Royal assent on Friday last, and arrived here on Saturday evening, addressed to Mr. E. Abbott, as Chairman of the Committee appointed at a public meeting nearly 2 years since.—Devonport Telegraph. Maud Heath bequeathed estates at Bremhill for constantly keeping in repair a road where only a slough had been. Lord Lansdowne and the Rev. W.
