Larochefoucault was sent by the Duke of Angouleme to SUITIthODS tills place to surrender; but this envoy was received by a band of music s which played the Marselloise and the Tragnla, and he could not obtain any answer from the . Constitutionalists. We have in our preceding columns inserted copious extracts from the Paris Papers of Friday. Doubts begin to be entertained as to the authen ticity of the Proclamations attributed to Mo. niLLo. We shall sincerely rejoice if these sus picions prove to be well-founded. The Bayonne article contains a variety of in teresting news. What it says respecting the evacuation of Salamanca by the French, and its occupation by the Constitutionalists, is con firmed by the official accounts. The conclud ing information, however, is of the greatest importance, though it is nothing more than we had previously prepared our Readers to expect, viz. that 6 ' the English Ambassa dor (Sir WILLIAM VCOURT) set out for Cadiz before the French arrived at Seville." — 'Our Readers will have remarked that the French Bulletins, and the accounts published by the Madrid Regency, have observed profound silence respecting our Ambassador ever since it WSJ known that the KING of SPAIN had been re- Attkred to the exercise of the Royal authority. iVe have this morning received Quebec Ga zettes to the 13th June.

The Republican Go vcrninent hired the ship purposely for the voyage, at twelve thousand dollars. Iturbide is to have a pension of twenty-five thousand dollars yer annum during his life. Mexico was governed by a Regency, or Triumvirate, consisting of Mar shal Bravo (a creole), General Negretto (a creole), and the famed General Victoria, of Old Spain. The country between Ikleitico and Vera Cruz was in a settled state, but the markets were particularly dull.

Captain Sauniarez (nephew of Admiral Sir James Saumarez), died on the 19th of May. The writer then says—" The fever' was not eprisidered contageous by the medical men; however, I am sorry to say, it broke out in the garrison, about ten days after her arrival, and we have lost no less than seven men, woman, and children. The others that have been attacked are g fitting better, and as we have had no new cuiea for some days, we arc in great hopes it will spread no further. The officers are well, except the Assistant-Surgeon, and we have great hopes of his recovery. The individuals who have died are- , -Sergeant • Sher and his young son; Corporal Palmer, Jame; Webb, and John Dorrell, private, and the wives of Corporal Mills and private Jackson, leaving four children, who were born on the Island." We re gret to hear that the accounts brought by the Termagant, which lay to off the island on the Mat of May (nine days after this letter was written), state the number of deaths among the gar. rison sit Ascension to have increased to twelvepersons, and that several others were in the hospital. Besides Capt. Siannarez, Messrs. Lloyd and Roxburgh, midshipmen, Mr. Franklin, gunner, Mr. Dewar, Captain's clerk, and 28 seamen and marines, of the Bann, had fallen victims to the fever.

THE Fitt CAUSE.—Very partial statements have appeared in several Newspapers tegarding this cause, a , true Report of the Proceedings in the Scotch Courts, with all the Details concerning them in the House of Peers, will be published after the decision, and the Public rn!lr then form an opinion on the merits of the Process. The present Earl of FIFE was deprived of considerable property by deeds made during his absence in Spain, and while engaged in the war; immediately after his arrival in Britain, he considered himself entitled 'to question their validity ; and circum stances disclosed in the course of the different trials in the Court of Session of Scotland, and in the Jury Court, justi fied his determination and the unanimous judgment of the Judges declared that the deeds were •not to be supported.— They were stated to have been executed by his uncle, when blind : just before his death, and labouring mulct,* most tor. coentmg malady. The fittines of two persons appeared on the decrial** witnesses, hut only one was present at she time when it was said that they were executed, and' no proof credited by the Jury was adduced, that the contents had been - read to the Earl of Fife, or that he had taken means to be acquainted with the contents of them. The opinion of able lawyers, in several countries of Europe, have declared against the validity of deeds made in such a manner.--1/ Morning Pest.) A letter from Montreal, dated June 14, says— " I have just been informed that the De Sala berry steam-boat was burnt to the water's edge on Thursday morning last, at 4 o'clock, off Cape Rouge, and all her cargo destroyed. Theo was a considerable number of settlers on board, but they were fortunately all saved." Steam navigation appears to be carried to a very great extent in the Canadas. On the river St.. Lawrence, between Montreal and Que bec, during the open season, which lasts from the Ist of May to the tsth of November, no less than eight vessels are constantly plying, of which the largest, the . Latly Sherbrooke. is of 787 tons burden, and is impelled by an engine of 60 horse power. The Duchess of KENT, on her visit to the Pa lace in Pall-mall, on Thursday, was accompa nied by her youngest daughter, the Princess VIC TORIA, who had never till that day been introduced to his MAJESTY. She is an interesting child, of a very lively and affectionate disposi tion. His MAJESTY, with a kindness that was worthy of him, had sent her his picture, set round with brilliants, as a present on her birth- day.. . We understand that the Duke of KENT'S Will was prepared by a respectable professional gen tleman of this city, two day's only previous to the termination of his.4aluable life at Sidmouth, and that thereby the guardianship of his only child, the Princess A LEXANDRINA, was committed to the sole care and management of his amiable Duchess.— (2xeter-Gazeite).

The Orbit, Baxter, from New Orleans to hive 1, ran on shore the 39th May on Ileadburg Iteef and bilged—the crew, 411 hales of cotton, sail*, &c. saved. The Spanish Soklier, Brown, for New York, struck on the Elbow Sack Bank, off Flushing, the 11th inst., and was hatd. its; into Flushing nearly under water. Dormit, Jutv distressing accident occurred here yesterday morning. The Ann fishing-boat, John Clark master, having landed.its fish in the bay about 11 . o'clock, proceeded to the westward of the harbour to wait for sufficient water to enable it to enter the Port, it blowing too hard to ,allow the boat to ride safely in the bay; when, on bearing up fiat the harbour, a very heavy sea broke into the boat and immediately sunk her, and amen, whose name was James Birch, disappeared almost at the same moment; the remaining dirge men were observed by the crew of another fishing-boat, which ran to their assist ance, but being at 'a considerable distance, it was some time before they reached the fatal spot, and too late to save poor Clark, who went down before the boat arvived ; the other two men were rescued, although they were nearly dead when brought on shore. Birch was an industrious man, and has left a widow who was dependent solely on him for support. The loss of poor Clark is felt by every one who knew him. He was a most respectable young man,—an excellent father, husband, and son, and had, by his perseverance and industry, been enabled to purchase half the boat in which he earned his livelihood ;—he has left a widow expecting to be confined, and one child, to lament his untimely end ; and I never heard the death of a man in his humble class of life so generally deplored. Great praise is clue to the boatmen and fishermen who instantly lent their valuable assistance, and particularly to the saves men who launched in a galley at the risk of their own lives. There are only twelve prisoners in Horsham jail for trial at our approaching Assizes ; a less number than has been known for many years.— There Is, at present, an appearance of but little business in the Nisi Prius Court. There is at present a man who is in the prac tice of culling on persons with birds for sale of et very beautiful appearance, which he says he has brought from Savannah; but. which in reality are nothing but sparrows dyed various tolours ! The complete carcase of a horse, in a standing posture, was lately found in Eagleslield peat. moss, where it must have been some centuries.— The animal was unshod, and, by the teeth, about four years old. Camel of Encke re-discovered in New South Watts.—On the 2d of June, 1822, Mr. Rumker re-discovered in Gemini the periodical comet of Encke, which has excited so much notice, and from which it appears, that the revolution of this comet in 1204 days is put beyond a doubt. This comet was observed in 1786, 1795, 1801, 1805, and 1818 ; and , by a comparison of all these observations, he calculated two sent of elements, which represented the observations within two minutes of a degree. In these elements, the revolution for 1819 was 1283, 452 days, 'and 1201,452, and half the greater axis 64472101 arid. 474042. With these data, AC Encke cotta;,;; 1 puted ephemerides or the comet fin• litlnt. lie annettosed •that he bad little hopes of its being seen in Europe in 1822, as before June it would be extremely taint, and always near the hori.toth and in the month of June it would set at the same time with the sun. lie added, however, " that in south latitude $4 de. grecs, the comet,ln -the beginning of June, would be eleitated 24 degrees above the horizon at sunset, and would then be u bright as a star of the fourth magnitude." Our readers can.. not tail to remark the singularity of the circumstance, that Mr. Blnker : who armnpanied Sir Thomas Brisbane to New South IV ales, should have discovered ,this comet ,on the 2d of June, 1822, at Parumatta, in 33 degrees 48 minutes 48 seconds of south latitude. M nEtt.--Saturday morning a poor old woman of the name of. CIIAMDEIMAIN, of Marygold streets Bermondsey, was found dead, with strong marks of violence upon- her .body. A labouring mail, who slept in the next room to thp'deceaspd, was examined on Saturday,on suspicion of having committed, the murder. His right hand was stained with blood, but this, he said, was caused by the blood of two chickens, which he had killed for his master, whocould come forward i►► his behalf. Ile was remanded.
