oak:Nei, FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Gazette de France, Monday, May 26. ) PARIS, MAY 25.—We have been much surprised at reading in the Journals, that Duke Charles de Damas, First Gentleman of the Chamber of the King, has been seriously ill at Compeigne. The Duke has had but a slight indisposition, which has not hindered him from attending his duty about his Majesty's person during the whole journey. - (From the Messager des Chambres, May 25.) The fears of all well-disposed persons seem to - be realised at Lisbon; the news which we receive from that capital indicateS, more and more, the plan of the partisans of Don Miguel to elevate to the usurped Royal dignity this young inexperienced Prince, who is given up to the intrigues of the factious. It is deplorable to see a Journal which calls itself the exclusive defender of the throne and of religion, declare even in favour of a• cause which cannot triumph, except by the turbulent expressions of the sovereignty of the people, and by the violation of oaths taken on the Gospel. The representatives of the Courts of Europe have better defended the sane tity of religion and the august character of royalty : they have felt that all the relations of regular diplo- Anacy must cease in the presence of such illegal acts. MADRID, MAY 15. We learn by theletters brought by the packet nom the Havannah, that the expedition of Atbniol Laborde to the coast of CumaHa, far from having beers favourable to the cause-of Spain, has only served to expose the Spaniards who inhabit that country to vexation, which, on the appearance of the Admiral's squadron, even degenerated into acts of cruelty, many of those unfortunate persons having been massacred. On the authority of very recent letters from Por tugal, it is reported that in consequence of the con vocation of the Corte: of Lamego, which Don Miguel has ordered, the representatives of the Sove reigns, after having protested against the measure, have caused the arms which were placed over the doors of their hotels to he taken down. The letters 3150 say, that it would not be astonishing if the Por zuguese Government was to deliver up to ours the Spanish refugees, who have been lately arrested : several of these unfortunate individuals have been condemned in Spain to capital punishment, and de tivering them op would be no batter than sending them to certain' death. It is to be hoped that the Portuguese Government will trot violate, in so odious a manner, the sacred laws of hospitality. Official news Ins been recitned here, that the In fant Don Miguel has been proclaimed absolute King in the whole province of Algarve. It is affirmed that the Minister of Finance has sent positive orders to the Intendants of the pro vinces, to collect their contingent every month. The whole would produce an amount of 36 or 37 millions of reals per month, which is about the 12th part of :the Budget of the Ministers. FROM LAST NIGHT'S GAZETTE. Whitehall, May 26, 1828.

LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, MAY 2S, 1828. The dismissal of Mr. HUSKISSON, and the resignation of his friends, should be hailed by the Ultras, as affording an opportunity for the con struction of a purely Tory Administration. The only difficulty with them must be, how far this pure gold will suit for common use, without the alloy of liberalism and intelligence. But we suspect that the sagacity of the Duke of WELLINGTON and of Mr. PEEL, will perceive symptoms of danger which escape the observation of their overjoyed retainers, and that they sincerely regret the dissolution of a Cabinet, which commanded in no ordinary degree the confidence and regard of the country. As to their means of forming a new Cabinet, we are really at a loss to see how it can be effected with the slightest probability of enduring a month. The admirable observa tions of a cotemporary on the subject of military rule, will find an echo in every English bosom ; and a. Council of War can nerer be substituted for our Cabinet Councils, except by foreign bayonets. We know and acknowledge the -transcendant merits of the Duke of WELLING TON and of Sir GEORGE MURRAY, than whom two more distinguished soldiers do not exist : but when with Lord HILL at the head of the Army, and Sir H. HARDINGE, Secretary at War, we see the late Commander-in-Chief and his Quarter-Master-General sitting together in a ei,binet from which Mr. HUSKISSON has been eKpdled, as being too liberal in his principles—when men trained in camps and in unavoidable notions of arbitrary power, are a once substituted for those who had risen througl; the gradations of office to the highest civil stations under the Crown—and when the very natural suspicion of brawl. Accessions to the Cabinet, from the ranks of the army, is taken into conhdgation ; we do think that matters wear an aspect far too c.efious to be trifled with, and which it will require even military nerves to push to their inevitable issue. For what would be thought of appointing Mr. Hus'cissoN 4u' 4 - Loin DUDLEY to command the fgst military .expedltisut which sails from our sh ores ? Would not any man of sense repel th e a , 44nyt i on of their g ilefiS, from their acknoWledge4 tal e nts, b y ask ing why thp Duke of WELLINGTON and Eir overlooked, b w u tn es tu s s ; A l l n .ti ti ß e ß h av;i mo w r 'e e re GgonG i E ti qualiEcati on s know ments and .the or are time aP4 l) ."' of a Statesman of Se mullh humbl er a tiass, t4at they come by intuition, And revira none o f that apprenticeship, which is . deerned e sse ,, tial even in the meanest professgms• The Duke of WELLINGTON, 110 doubt, has hitherto done admirably in his new vocation. The repeal of the T es t an d Corporation Acts should alone immortalise his memory, and deeply shall we. regret being undeceived in the opinions which we- had formed of his pgriotism and his policy. He has it still in his power to exchange the venal suffrages of the meanest of our Aristocracy, for the lasting gratitude and devotion of an admiring world. Burgos could testify that even he can be de feated—let him beware of the House of Com mons and th►e Arras Estimates. The French Papers of Sunday, with the Ga zette de France and the Messager des Cham hres of Monday's date, contain no news from the East, iu the absence of which the affairs of the Peninsula engross their attention. The attempt of Don MIGUEL is looked upon with apprehension by the French Government, as such an usurpation would disturb the principle of legitimacy, which would be rather embarrassing to the House of Bourbon. The Messager des Char - Fibres, the organ of the French Government, repeats that in the event of MIOUEL asswming the Crown the Ambassadors accredited to the Court of Lisbon, would, as a matter of cou rse , lay down their diplomatic characters, and leave the Don to make the best of his " most admired disorder." He has secured the Priests—but where is the Army ? We received this morning the Alkernel??? Zeitung, and Frankfort Papers, of the 21st inst. They contain news from Constantinople to the 30th ult. inclusive, at which time the SULTAN and Divan were in hourly expectation of receiving the Russian Manifesto, in order to adopt more serious measures for the defence of the Capital. - But we apprehend that, by accounts of a later date from Constantinople, the Ma►►ifesto of the Emperor NICHOLAS had bee►► received, and had made a deep impression on the Divan, though the SULTAN maintained his usual composure and contempt of danger. It was re ported at Constantinople, that the French Go vernment had lately made fresh proposals for an ac commodation, which were rejected with scorn by the REIS EFFENDI, * as the independence of Greece was the basis of the treaty, and this time PORTE would not accede to, because it looked upon it only as affording the parties to the treaty of London an opportunity of increasing their demands. Every new concession was regarded by the PORTE, as an inducement to fresh claims and pretensions, and it was therefore determined rather to die with honour than to live with ignominy. In the mean time tranquillity pre vailed in the Capital, —more, we suspect, from fear than an assurance of safety. According to accounts from Jassy, of the 9th inst. the Russian Grand Army crossed the Lower Priith and the Danube at the same time in several divisious. It was also reported that the Turks in their retreat had set fire to Galatz in five places. The accounts from Bucharest, of the Bth, represent the Turkish force on the Danube as not more than 40,000 men,—a number wholly inadequate to resist the terrific onset of the Russians. As the Russians ad vance into the interior, the Consuls of Foreign Governments accredited to large commercial tations cease their functions and retire. The fol lowing are extracts : ow EXPRESS.) CONSTANTINOPLE, APRIL O. We are in hourly expectation of the Russian Manifesto, and of the news that the Russian troops have entered the principalities. The Government appears to be waiting fur this, in order to proceed on its own part to serious prepara tions-for defence against an attack, in the reality of which, notwithstanding all threatening appearances, it has never been disposed seriously to believe. At least this seems the only mode of accounting for the fact, that in proportion so few measures have been taken for energetic resistance, of such manifest danger from so powerful an enemy as Russia. For souse months past it has been said that the Sultan was going to Adrianople with the standard of the Prophet; but the Sultan has not yet left Constantinople, and at Adrianople, which has scarcely a garrison of 1,000 or 1,200 inen, not the smallest pre 'parations have been matli to receive him. Now, indeed, it is said, that Hussein Pacha will go to Adrianople as soon as the Russian declaration of war is received, but nobody conceives why the Porte should wait for this formal de claration of war, as it might clearly see in the Russian declaration, or the Flatti Scheriff of the 20th of December, what it had to expect from. Russia. It is reported that the French Government has lately made, through the Am bassador of the Netherlands, fresh proposals to the Porte for the termination of the affairs of Greece, but theywere at once rejected by the Reis Effendi, as the treaty of 6th July last was assumed as the basis of them, and the Po to will not allow any foreign interference in its internal concerns, among which it reckons the arrangements of its affairs with the Greeks, and maintains that on religious principles it cannot allow it; and because it seems to be convinced that every new concession on its part will only draw after it fresh claims and pretensions. "We know," the Reis Effendi has said repeatedly, " the dangers that menace us, bet we confide in the justice of our cause. We may fall, if Providence has so decreed ; but we will rather die with honour then live With ignominy." Meantime, considering what a critical moment this is, astonishing tranquillity prevails in this capital; to judge by ..)i4t ward appearances, we should imagine that the Turkish Empire Reyer further from war than it is at present. In the nest fortnight ur three Weeks we shall perhaps see a difference. JASSY, MAY 9. We learn that on the '7th May the Russian Grand Army also crossed the lower Pruth and the Danube, at Reui and Ismail, in several corps. jp also Oported, that on the approach of the Russians, the liirks set #re to Ciallat* in gy g places, and retired to Braila. , At the same time the Russian Pet, with twelve thousand troops OP 'board, appeared at th e ; Tnnt4 of the Danube, steering towards Varna. It is believed it will land the troops there, and then make a diversion, which will compel all the Turks op the lower Danube to make a hasty retreat. BUCHAREST, MAY 8.

The Austrian Consul goes to Hermanstadt, and has already ceased his fini=tieps• The last trayellers that have arrived here from Constantinople S 4 tll4t it is idle to tail( of a large Turkish army on the Danube, and that the whole may perhaps amount to 40,000 tun. FaontForr, mAy 20. (From the Courier de Smyrne of April 12.) The Ardibkup a this city has received orders from the patriarch at Constantiuopte, to make all the Greeks who ,under the protection of the foreign Consuls lay aside the European dress, and wear the peculiar costume of their own natiop. in case of need he is to have recourse to liussein Pacha, who has himself received the, necessary orders for the execution of this measure. The Greek festival of Esta has been celebrated with un usual splendour. The procession, which was fol lowed by an immense crowd, came out of one of the side doors of the Church, and went through the street to re-enter at the great door. This circumstance has been the more observed, as up to this time the several Christian communities have been obliged to confine their religious ceremonies to the in terior of their churches. The Greeks consider this innova tion as a signal honour, and a new pledge of the special protection which is given to tkeir religion. By the Persian, Captain PLUNKETT, we have received Sydney Papers to the 20th of December last, and Van Dieman's Land to the 30th. We learn by an extract from a private letter .by this conveyance, of the 2d of January, that they " hare had a little bickering about the freedom of the press, which will end in the whole of the corres pondence being laid before the home Govern ment. We have now several vessels in our harbour. Among others the Harvey, for London,; the Waterloo, (about 500 tons) from Sydney, on her way to Batavia ; the Asia, for Sydney ; and the North Mitain, from Greenock, bound to Sydney, and several colonial craft. Our market is glutted with goods. We have experienced very dry weather lately, and our crops are in consequence very thin, falling far short of the usual average. The price of wheat may be quoted at 10s. per bushel, late 3s. 6d. Meat sd. per lb. ; but unless we have rain it must advance, as there will scarcely be any food for the cattle. On the Ist of January the Aihion arrived." PRICES AT SYDNEY.-New Wheat 61. 9d. a '7s. per bushel ; Maize, 6s. 10d. ; Oats, ss. 3d. ; Flour, per 1001 W. 16s. fid. sterling ; Bread, bd. per loaf of 21b. ; Butter, salt, 2s. 6d. per lb., fresh, do. 2s. 9d. ; Cheese, colo nial, ls. 3d. per lb. ; Potatoes, 16s. per cwt.; Beef, 41d. per lb. in the quarter, joints 6d. ; Mutton, 7d., Pork, Bd. per lb. ; English Soap, per box, 54c1. per lb. ; Brandy, scarce, 20s. per gallon; Rum, per 5 gal., I'7s. 6d. ; Gin, ditto, 20s. ; Geese, '7s. each, Turkeys, 18s. Ducks, ss. These Papers contain nothing of an interesting nature hut the above pricee. It appears the price of provisions was rapidly on the rise in New South Wales, as well as in Van Dieman's Land. In another column we have given a document, purporting to be official, and which, if true, makes us lament that this country should have taken any trouble in the cause of a people who are titterly unworthy of any consideration. It is an Address presented to the Regent of Portugal, and signed by one Duke, fourteen Marquisses, thirty-eight Counts, thirteen Vis counts, seven Principals (a church dignity), two Priors of Military Orders, and eight Barons, Members of the Portuguese Nebility—total eighty-three ; assuring Don MIGUEL that the Throne belongs to him, and praying him to as semble the ancient Cortes to settle this point, and abolish Don PED Ho's Constitutional Charter, &c. Upon such a document it would be idle to waste any words. A nobility who can so far degrade themselves, as to truckle to such a Prince as Don MSQUEL, are as unworthy of their titles as of their country. We shall not waste our indignation upon such characters—let them bow the knee and be spurned. Portugal can never be worth a thought till regeneration begin with the peasant and purge the priest and the despot. New Orleans Papers to the 4th of April have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house. The following are extracts : Mr. Taylor, who ltas been for the last three years at tached to the Legation of the United States at Mexico, has passed through this place on his way to Washington. We understand that Mr. Taylor is the bearer of Treaties of Commerce and Boundaries, which have been negotiated by our Minister, Mr. Poinsett, and have received the sanc tion of our Senate. Mexico.—(From the Boston Commercial Gazette of the Ist of May, received at the North and South Ame rican Coffee-house.)—We have private information before us from Mexico, so late as the 23d of March. It is of a more favourable nature than the preceding advices. It is stated in these papers, that in the Savannah, arrived at New York from Vera Cruz, came forty-three passengers, among whom are the former Governor of Vera Cruz and other distinguished Spaniards. An Act of Congress was approved on the Pith ult., authorising the President, with the advice and consent of the Senate, to appoint such agent or agents as may be use fully employed in prosecuting the designation of the line forming the north-east boundary of the States, and bring ing the existing controversy with Great Britain to a speedy termination. We understand from Washington that Messrs. Harding, Denton, Watson, and M'Lean have been examined before the Committee, appointed to consider the affair between Colonel Jarvis and Mr. Adams, and that their testimony confirms .the statement already given by Colonel Jarvis, as to the insult offered to him at the President's levee. We hear it is reported also that Mr. J. Adams has likewise been examined before the Committee, and that his account of the affair does not differ materially from that which has been stated by the above gentleman; it is thought that the Committee will re port a statement of facts, in such form as will convey a cen sure upon the conduct of Mr. Adams, with disapprobation of that part of the proceedings of Colonel Jarvis, which may seem disrespectful to the House and Senate, and that Colonel J. will be excluded from the Halls of Congress for the remainder of the season. The number of Patents granted in 1827 was 380, pro ducing to the United States Treas Cry the sum of 9,900 dollars. It is stated, in letters from Washington of the 15th instant, that General Macomb was that morning nomi nated to the Senate as Commander in Chief of the Army. serious fire at. Albany bad taken place on the 17th ; the amount of the loss is statell at 50,000 dollars.—Money is represented as remarkably scarce at Boston.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER. Thy Loan CHIEF BARON sat this day at Nisi Fri fl HART V. THE BISHOP' OF ST. DAVID'S. This was an actiun brought by the plaintiff, Wh ° is an upholsterer residing in the Surreproad, agai o the Bishop of St. David's, for an injury done to the plaintiff's gig, in consequence of the negligent drivill of the defendant's coachman. It appeared that on the 24th of the last month the plaintiff was driving in a gig up Portland-ploc e towards the Regent's Park, accompanied by bi 4 sister-in-law. The Bishop of St. David's carriage was going in the same direction with the gig!, and the coachman having turn e d hi s h orse s lOW suddenly, the pole of the carriage caught in the g 1 and smashed it in pieces. The side pannel and the back of the gig were broken, and Mr. Hart, an d the lady who accompanied him, were thrown out, but re. ceived no personal injury. The damage done to the gig was estimated at about 161. Both the coach and gig were driving at a moderate pace. The defence set up was, that the accident was at' tributable entirely to the plaintiff's own carelessneof as he might have avoided the coach, had he pulled up and kept his own side of the road. There were several witnesses examined at both , sides, whose evidence was directly contradictory. The LORD CHIEF BARON left the "case entirely to the Jury. Verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 161., costs 404. LONDON SESSIONS-(THIS DAY.) To-day these Sessions commenced before tile LORD MAYOR, RECORDER, several Aldermen, and: the Slicrilfs. A considerable time was occupied in getting a Jury. Various cases of alleged trifling assaults were called on of no importance whatever , and in none of whic the roecuto apeared ex• cept one, and where h the verdict was not returned when we left. Mary Loue was called up for judgment upon all indictment, on which at a former Sessions she wo 4 found guilty, for keeping a disorderly house in 13ow lane, and ordered to be imprisoned in the Home of Correction for three calendar months, and there kept to hard labour. PUBLICAN'S LICENCE. 1111.. Cable, of the Rose and Crown public-house , Queenhithe, applied for the renewal of his licence, which had been refused on a former occasioo' The objection to the granting of the license WO the embarrassed circumstances of Mr. Cable; no objection was raised to the moral character of the or plicant. Aldermen WAITIMAN and BROIVNE were de' cidedly of opinion that the Court ought to grant the licence, as in their estimation it had nothing to do with the pecuniary circumstances of Mr. Coble. The RECORDER clearly thought that the Court ought to be assured that the party keeping a public house was not in that state of poverty that laid itio' open to the temptation of keeping disorderly hours. Sir C. HUNTER thought the applicant entitled to have his licence, on giving security that he would keep good hours, and otherwise conduct him self properly, notice of that bail being to be given. This was agreed to, and the licence ordered. PRICKS OF STOCKS THIS Bank Mock ?AG% 6 3 per Cent. Red. 5t3p%44 :3 per Cent.

Fear not lest they represent onlY their own private views and selfish passions; they are not their own representatives, but yours.

In the mean time you r Deputies will deliberate on the welfare of the State.
