MONEY MARKET A ND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. To-day the Money Market presents a languid appearance, the supplies on offer ar© small, and the rates are greatly in favour of borrowers. There were no gold operations of importance at the Bank of England yesterday. The official ;turn . ; relating to the trade and navigation of the United Kingdom for the six months ended to 30th June have been published, from which it appears that the total declared value of the exports during that period have been £87,613,484, against £92,857,830, compared with the corresponding period of the previous year, and showing a decrease of £52,442,346. The decrease is most perceptible in beer and ale, cotton manu factures, haberdashery and millinery, hardwares and cutlery, linen manufactures, iron and unwrought steel, silk manufactures, and woollen and worsted manufactures. There has been a slight increase in Coals and Cuba cotton, yarn, earthenware, and porcelain, and linen yarn ; the importations of the principal articles have been larger as regards flax, palm oil, quicksilver, raw silk, pepper, sheeps' and lambs' wool, coffee, corn, unrefined sugar ; there is a diminution, however, in raw cotton, Indian corn, flour, brandy, tea, tobacco, and Wine. The shipping accounts exhibit a decrease in the tonnage of vessels engaged in the foreign trade of the country for both the entries inwards and the clearance outwards, while the same result is observ able in the coasting trade in both instances. The London and County Bank have announced a dividend of 6 per cent., and a bonus of 5 per cent., making 11 per cent. for the half-year to 30th June last. A remittance has been received by Messrs. Baring, Brothers, and Co., on account of the New Granada dividends of £B4O from the Custom House of Car thagena. The mail from Guayaquil has brought a remit. tance of £902 lls. 4d. on the Debt of Ecuador. An important telegram has been received from Madrid, viz., to the effect that the Spanish Govern ment will not modify its arratgements for the settlement of the Passive Debt. The bondholders, therefore, had better accept the terms propos©d at the meeting last Friday. At the meeting held to-day of the East London sank, the directors recommended the payment of a dividend at the rate of 5 per cent. The state ment of accounts to the 30th June showed a net balance of £9,504. At the meeting to-day of the Australian Agricul tural Company it was stated that the excess of ex penditure on capital account had been reduced to ' 1 ,355, the cash balance on London was larger, and t he net revenue amounted to £21,319, being , t 6 , 794 in excess of that earned in 18 65. h e general revenue on the 31st December am ounted to £22,946, of which £ 7 , 500 was paid in F ebruary, l eav i n g a balance of £15,446. A divi uend was proposed of 10s. per share,l which leaves £044 6 undistributed. The dividend is payable on the 9 th proximo. Atlantic and Great Western Railway Debentures ar e steady at 27 29, but the Consolidated Mortgage B onds have declined I, to 22 22i. „At the meeting held to-day of the Bank of ' 4 gYpt, the re p or t for the half-year, to the 29th of J une last, stated that the net profits, after provid leg for rebate on bills not yet due, amount to £ 2 0,145 ls. Bd., and that the usual dividend be de clared at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum for the h alf-year (£12,500), free of Income Tax, leaving a balance of £B,BlO Is. 6d., to be carried forward to the next account. Two O'CLOCK. According to Reuter's telegram from Paris to day, the French Rentes were 68f. 82c. Inanimate. Not much animation prevails to-day in the market for the British funds, and the attention of the mem bers is chiefly absorbed with the liquidation in fo reign bonds awl the various classes of share property. blisille33 is dull however ; prices are firmer, a'ld Consols are at an advance of 4 per cent., being 9 1 for transfer, and 944 for account. ti lie New Threes arc 934, 1, ; Reduced Annul 171' 93 i, ; Bank of England Stock, 258 60 ; ia 5 per Cents., 1114, ; ditto 4 per Cent.

It will be remem bered that in January he was tried at the Central Criminal Court, to which the case had been removed from Yorkshire for good reasons, and he was sen tenced to .15 months' imprisonment, with hard labour, the Judge observing that the sentence woul 1 have been penal servitude but for the prisoner's ad vanced age and increasing infirmities. The prisoner was liberated by an order from the Home Secretary on Wednesday morning last, and great was and still is the surprise in the town in consequence. Mr. D. Lupton, the President of the Chamber of Commerce, in addressing the meeting yesterday, said he never remembered anything which had affected the busi ness men of Leeds so much as this strange release of Mr. Greenland.frOin prison. lie referred to the peculiar circumstances on account of which for some time after the failure of the Leeds Banking Company all attempts to prosecute Mr. Greenland failed. At length, however, with the assistance of the Board of Inland Revenue, though not at all at their expense, Mr. Greenland was convicted of swearing to false returns of the yearly issue of paper money by the bank. These crimes, said the chair man, were insignificant in themselves compared with the greater crimes that all Leeds knew Mr. Green land had been guilty of. Ile held in his hand a list of the shareholders in the Leeds Banking Company. It was a melancholy list to look over, for there were no two of them consecutively who were not reduced to wretchedness or misery, or were dead. At the time of the stoppage of the bank there were 243 share holders ; but now there remained only 51 ; and there were about 20 estates of deceased persons. The list had been carefully looked into, and at least 25 had died, directly or indirectly, in consequence of the losses which they bad sustained. In addition to that there had been two or three suicides, but these really did not present the most lamentable aspect of the case, for there were widows and spinster ladies who had lost their all, and were now objects of wretchedness and misery. It was not necessary to dilate further upon these things. He proceeded to mention, however, the case of Scaife, John W. Marsden's cashier, who, he said, was in Armley Gaol, undergoing a sentence of 15 years', penal servitude. lle said that man never would have been in that position but for Mr. Greenland, and he could not for one moment conceive why if mercy was held out to Greenland it should not also be extended to Scaife. Alderman Tatham moved " That the frauds proved against Edward Green land, late a prisoner in the Leeds County Gaol, were of a most flagrant kind, and this meeting having learnt that a free pardon has been granted to the said Edward Greenland, is of opinion that the grounds on which such pardon was granted should be made public." Mr. F. Baines seconded, and Mr. Ludolf supported it. 'When it was carried, Mr. Lishman proposed that a petition be presented to the Ilouse of Commons praying it to ask that copies of the cor respondence and memorials having reference to such pardon be laid before it, and further praying it to institute an inquiry into all the circumstances at tending the case. The petition was adopted after several of the leading merchants had denounced the mistaken 'compassion shown to Mr. Greenland, and a desire was expressed that the names of the persons should be published who had assisted Mr. Greenland in getting up a case for the consideration of the Nome Secretary.

YELVERTON'S CASE—This Day. HOUSE OF LORDS. APPEALS -JUDGMENT - LONGWORTII (OR YELVE R TON), PAUPER, APPELLANT, AND YELVERTON AND ANOTHER RESPONDENT. In this well-known case, lately argued before their lordships, judgment was delivered this morning, and a large number of persons crowded the approaches to the House anxious to obtain admission. Only a few comparatively could be accommodated. Neither Mrs. Yelverton nor any of her friends attended. The Lord Chancellor took his seat on the wool sack at a quarter before eleven o'clock, and there were also present Lord Cranworth, Lord Westbury, and Lord Colonsay. Lord Catnlys took a seat in the body of the house apart from the law lords. The Lord Chancellor stated the circumstances under which the appeal was brought in an interlo cutory judgment from the Court of Session in Scotland, and explained the nature of the previous appeal to the House of Lords. After that appeal the present appellant alleged that Major Yel verton had, in the presence of his brother, the Hon. Frederick Yelverton, and iu the presence of a nurse, named Marsh, who was since dead, stated that he had been married to the appel lant, Maria Theresa Long worth. This person meant was alleged to have mentioned the fact to the Rev. Edward George Campbell, the chaplain of the Courthouse at Leeds, who, in his turn, in formed the appellant. Then arose the question whether Major Yelverton might not be put upon oath in the matter. It had been held by the Court of Session that the admission to oath was incom petent after the judgment had been extracted, but he held that the reference to oath was competent at the time when the minute was taken. But then again it was held that it was incompetent in a de clarator of marriage, and where other persons were concerned. He was of opinion that since the Acts 11 George IV. and 1 William IV., transferring con sistorial matters to the Court of Session, which had been referred to such reference to oath, was not ad missible ; that it could not be admissible in the description of evidence involved in this case. Ile held, too, that the reference could not be made when the interests of third parties were involved. It was before them that Major Yelverton was mar ried to Mrs. Forbes, and if the first marriage was legal the second marriage was clearly illegal. Then, again, he held that a reference to oath in this case ne cessarily involved an admission of criminality. lle must confess that ho had been guilty of bigamy, and no one was compelled to declare in suam turpitu dinem. If, on the other hand, he refused, Mrs. Forbes would bo deprived of all her rights. He considered the Court of Session was right in the exercise of a sound judicial discretion in refusing the reference, and in his opinion the appeal must be dismissed. Lord Cranworth said the Lord Chancellor had been kind enough to show him his judgment, and as he fully concurred in it, it was not necessary for him to offer many observations. No doubt refer ence to oath had been permitted in some matrimonial cases. But if there had been no marriage with Mrs. Forbes, he doubted whether there would have been any reference to oath in this case, because, in a declaration of marriage, there must necessarily be, under all circumstances, the interests of third parties involved. On general principles ho thought that such reference ',should be excluded in all cases of this sort. Lord Westbury said it was not his intention to pronounce any formal judgment in this case. He had attended on the first day of the hearing, but had been unable to be present on the subsequent days, in consequence of a very severe domestic affliction. Reference had been made to his ab sence, and he had felt bound, therefore, to advert to it. At the same time he felt bound to say that what ho heard on the first day showed him very clearly that the apellaut had no ground on which to rely. He felt bound to off.:r these few remarks in explanation. Lord Colonsay said that after the exps ession of opinion by the noble and learned lords Ivlso had pre ceded bins the case was practically decided, but in a case of this sort he felt it most desirable that the law of Scotland should be made clear upon the point. When the matter first came under his consideration in an earlier stage, he came to the conclusion that the reference could not be maintained. Since that he had considered the case more fully, and saw no ground for altering his view. Having explained very minutely the law of Scotland as it bore upon the point, the noble lord said he had come to the conclusion that there was no ground in the case for maintaining the reference, and that the judgment of the court belo kV ought to be affirmed. The Lord Chancollor then put the motion that the judgment of the Court of Session be affirmed, and it was carried nem. dis. The Appellant (Nirs.Yelverton) has therefore been defeated in another stage of her case. ROLLS COURT. (Before the Master of the Rolls.) BOVILL V. COWAN. It case the plaintiff applied for an injunction to restrain the defendant from using an apparatus applicable to mill purposes, for which he had ob tained a patent. The defendant denied that such apparatus was any novelty, or that ho had used it at his mill. His Lordship, in delivering judgment to-day, said that he was clearly of opinion that the patent had been infringed, notwithstanding, as was usual in cases where there was a desire to evade the law, some alterations had been made in the apparatus by the defendant. The plaintiff might have availed himself of some of the existing inventions which he combined with his own to produce results not previously realised, and according to such combina tion was considered a novelty, and had a right to be protected. He would accordingly grant the injunction. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. MARLBOROUGII-STREET. SINGULAR CASE OF PAUPERS. —Henry Young, Benjamin Murray, and Alfred Love, three able-bodied inmates of St. Martin's Workhouse, wore charged before Mr. Tyrwbitt with refusing to work when requested to do so. William Dack, gate porter at St. Martin's Workhouse said that the three prisoners were inmates, and had been for years, of St. Martin's Workhouse, on and off. Last Saturday a sick woman had to be sent for to be brougLt into the workhouse, and he asked the prisoners to assist iu carrying the cot. Ile first asked Love, who was smoking a pipe, if he would assist in fetching a sick woman from York-place, and he refused ; he then asked Murray, who was lying down, if he would assist, and he refused ; and ho then asked You - ng if ho would go, and ho replied, "I'm mubh obliged to you, but I am not going to do any work out of the house." The pri soners' conduct was represented to the board of guardians yesterd ty, and their decision was that the prisoners should be brought before his worship. Mr. Tyrwhitt said he could not make the prisoners go out of the house to work. They were cunning birds, and no doubt knew that it was a shabby thing on . their part, and showed what a set of ill-conditioned persons they must be—three gawky fellows refusing to do what they were asked, and living in idleness on the ratepayers of the parish. Ile considered it a case neyor contemplated by the Act, and that the workhouse was intended for work to bo done in it. As to sending them out to do anything, ho did not think that- was intended. He considered the pri soners idle fellows not to fetch a poor sick person in when requested to do so, and they ought to be turned out of the house and made to work, the more especially so as any one of them appeared able to have done what was asked. The prisoners would be discharged. Young was formerly in the Metropolitan police, but dis missed for drunkenness. Subsequently he became an in mate of St. Martin's workhouse, and with a number of others, under the direction of the guardians, emigrated ; but when he got to Liverpool ho was the cause of a mutiny on board the ship, and sent ashore and locked up. Ulti mately he returned to St. Martin's workhouse, where with his wife he has spent the greater part of his life. Murray has been a pauper nearly all his lifetime. Love's wife re fuses to live with him, and his three children have been long supported by the parish. 100 IG2 67 59 90 sn 33 34 8 9 1, 114 IltS i 1 i» C 4 6 118 118 55 SG 44 46 63 63; 9 lu 148 152 3 4 COLONIAL GOVERNMENT SECURITIES. 96 98 91 93 101 106 IC5i 1064 3ION 3.

FRANCE AND 1 5 11USSIA.--If we Are not misin formed the result of the identical language which has been held at Berlin by the representStives of Franco and Russia is likely to produc,o excellent results. The Prussian Gcvernment is represented as being very willing to listen to the friendly advice which has been tendered to it ; and we may therefore look for a satisfactory solution of the North Scleswig question which has given rise to so many unwarrautable surmises. IN RE COUNT DE CARGASCANO. Mr. Baggallay, Q.C., appeared for the count. He said his client now petitioned the court for the payment of a certain amount under the provisions of a marriage settlement. Ile married in November, 1866, Madame Paulini Daglioni, and previous to the marriage, her mother, the Countess Dagliano, agreed to release a sum of £lO,OOO left by her husband of a charge of a life interest. for herself on £5,000 of the same, This £l,OOO was to be ap plied for the purchase of her daughter's trousseau, &c., and surplus, if any remained, was for her (the daughter's) sole use and benefit. A settlement was made shortly after the marriage, and the preceding disposition of the sum in question was executed, to which all the parties concerned had consented. It was arranged that the money should be placed in trust with a nobleman in this country and another gentleman, and that it should b o subject to English law. liis Lordship, having pointed out some errors in the petition, said that these must bo amended before he could make any order. lie would probably show that the balance of the money should be in vested for the benefit of the Count and his wife, an equal amount of interest to be paid to each, and the whole to go to the survivor. ANECDOTE OF LOPEZ.—The Id narrates the following incident in the life of the infamous Lopez : " The colonel was one day surprised at the head of a squa dron by a considerable ambush of the enemy. As heroism is not positively his forte, ho commanded a retreat, and turned his horse's head. In his flight the animal received a ball and fell. A soldier, in his extreme Feril, took the colonel up behind him ; but the horse having double weight slacked Lis pace, and the enemy approached rapidly. Lopez understood that if nothing was done they were both lost ; and so he drew a pistol from his belt, shot the soldier in the back, threw down the corpse, and then escaped alone ! A sceptic of our acquaintance, to whom we narrated this edifying history, said very calmly, The act is simply sublime and philosophical to the highest degree ; the colonel has a very lively conception of the necessities of social life in the present day ; to blow out the brains of those who take you behind thorn is the very A B C of tho ambitious i '" FATAL ACCIDENT AT SEA.--The brig Frances- Ann has just arrived at West Hartlepool from the Baltic.

ROBBERY IN THE SAILORS' HOME.—William Leahy, a seaman, was brought before Mr. Paget charged with steal ing two coats, a pair of trousers, vest, a pair of braces, ani a knife, in all worth £5, the property of Antonio Dun lop, a seaman belonging to the ship Daring, in the Sailors' Home, Well-street, Whitechapel. The prisoner was a shipmate of the prosecutor, and came home in the same vessel. Ho is lodging in North east-passage, Wellclose-square. Last night W illiam Now man, one of the stewards of the Home, met the prisoner coming down the stairs leading from ono of the corridors with a small bundle in his hand, and asked him what he had there, to which ho replied that it was only a pair of pants which he intended to convey to a tailor to be re paired. Newman asked him what cabin h• occupied in the building, to which the prisoner replied, "No. 266." Newman told him he must show him the cabin before he let him go. The prisoner took him to the cabin No. 256. The prosecutor Dunlop was there, fast asleep on his bed. Newman aroused him, and he then missed two coats, the trousers in his possession, a waistcoat, pair of braces, and a knife, which were hanging up over his berth previous to his turning in. The stolen waistcoat was found on the prisoner. The steward said that robberies in the Sailors' Home were very rate indeed, and that a sharp look out was kept on visitors by the stewards, watchmen, and other officers, and that if the prosecutor bad put Lis clothes in his chest and locked it up this robbery would not have occurred. Fly, a police sergeant of the A reserve, said he had been unable to trace the remainder of the prosecutor's property, which ho had probably taken on another visit to the Home and disposed of. Mr. Paget committed the prisoner for trial. WESTMINSTER, TRICKS OF BUILDING SOCIETIES. —A corporal in the Grenadier Guards solicited the magistrate's assistance and advice under the following circumstances : Applicant stated that he had been induced to invest his savings in the 48th Star Bowkott Building Society, held at Bass's Assembly-rooms, Vauxhall Bridge-road. — Accord ing to the rules, any person wishing to withdraw from the society was to give three months' notice. Applicant did so, but was told he must wait, and one three months hav ing expired, he waited for a second like period to obtain his money, but with no better success ; and although still further time had been given, he was no nearer than before. Nine months had now elapsed since he first gave notice to withdraw his money. He was at the society last night, and there was no prospect that he could see of getting it. Mr. Arnold asked applicant for the rules of the society, observing that unless jurisdiction was given him by them he could not interefere. Applicant handed him the rules, whi , h, having perused, Mr. Arnold said he was afraid ho could do nothing for ap plicant, as according to the rules all disputes were to be settled by arbitration. This, however, he should think, could hardly be termed a matter of dispute, as it was the mere withdrawal of his money. He might sue for it iu the County Court. Applicant said that by the rules of the society the amounts withdrawn were to be paid from rents of appro priation. They must have received plenty of these, but had not paid tho withdrawals. Mr. Arnold asked the amount of his claim ? Applicant replied £6 10s. Mr. Arnold referred him to the County Court. Tremendous Fire in the Minories. .<.---- This (Tuesday) morning, at an early hour, a terrible fire, attended with the loss of property valued at many thousand pounds sterling, happened in the extensive pile of premises belonging to Mr. A. Worman, boot and shoe exporter, carrying on business at 126, Minories. The discovery was made by ono of the inmates, who at once gave the usual alarm, but he, and also the other residents, had the greatest difficulty in effecting their escape, owing to the rapidity with which the flames extended. In the course of a few minutes the fire escapes arrived, as well as numerous land steam and manual—power engines, by Shand, Mason, and Co., of the same description as that just awarded the prize medal at Paris. Captain Shaw, with a strong body of firemen, and Mr. Swanton, with the London Salvage Corps, and Mr. White, the assessor to the County Fire Office, accompanied the engines, but upon their arrival they found that the premises of Mr. Worman were on fire from the base to the roof, and the flames were belching forth from over a doien windows, and also through the roof, and already ignited the premises of Mr. Carter, a butcher, No. 127, in the same thoroughfare, and were attacking the offices of Mr. B. Berend, com mission agent, and several merchants, at No. 8, New-square. Mr. Poole, inspector of the New River Company, arrived with several turncocks, when, plenty of water having been obtained, the engines were set to work with full vigour, and some tons weight of water were momentarily scattered upon and into the burning premises; but the flames con tinued their ravages, and it was some hours before the progress of the conflagration could be arrested. An attempt was made to get the books out, but the flames drove the parties back. It is satisfactory to state that, having been locked up in one of the patent Reliance fire-proof safes, they received not the least injury, although exposed to such an intense heat. Eventually the firemen had the gratification of seeing the fire extinguished, but not until Mr. Worman's premises were all but destroyed ; the valuable stock in trade, furniture, and other effects consumed. The premises of Mr. Carter, butcher, partly destroyed, but a considerable quantity of property was saved by the London Salvage Corps. The offices numbered 8, in New-square, are also extensively injured by heat and water. The origin of the disaster is at present unknown. Th e City and Metropolitan Police rendered great assistance to the firemen by keeping the crowd out of danger. MARKETS. —This day. MAY.

TIM VESTMENTS BILL. Tho Earl of SHAFTESBURY said that as it was pro bable that the Reform question would occupy their lord ships' attention on Thursday and Friday next, it would suit the convenience of the house to adjourn his motion on the Vestments Bill till Monday next, and he trusted that the right reverend prelate would then be prepared to state to their lordships what course Convocation would take in the matter.

A I etition was presented that members should be allotted to the University of Edinburzh. RAILWAY bOIIPANIE T S BILL. The report of amendments on this bill was read. THE REPRESENTATION OF THE PEOPLE BILL. This bill was again passed into committee. Claus 7 being the first submitted to the house, Lord GREY said that with regard to this clause, which was the creation of a franchise from the personal payment of rates by the occupiers of small tenements themselves, it lied always been found that there was the very greatest difficulty in obtaining the rates from au immense number of poor districts, and from the inquiries of the Poor Law Commissioners and other authorities, the then Government had become satis fied that it was a great hardship to inflict on these-- poor persons the imposition of rates ; and in 1856 an act was passed, which enabled vestries and other bodies to make such terms with the owners of this class of property as tl ey' thought fit. Now th:s act which was passed almost unanimously had mate rially aided in adding to the comfort of those who inha bited the poorer class of dwellings, but by the insertion of this clause the other House of Parliament had entirely swept away what former legislation had done. If the system of compounding the rates was abolished the result would be that, whereas at the present time the landlord collected the amount due, together with the rent, weekly, that when the tax collector called upon these poor people he would find that they had moved from parish to parish, leaving the rates unpaid. In addition to that it would lead to heart-burning and vindictiveness against the parish officers, which would lead to discord and general discontent. He would ask their lordships whether it was right by such a clause to bring on such a; state of discontent., both amongst the old voters and the new. They would be in flicting an injury on the old voters, and would be entail ing a heavy burthon on the new. They would find that such an excitement would be created by this new system of rating that something would have to be done to miti gate it. He should therefore move that this 7th clause be omitted. The LORD CHANCELLOR said that the preference which was given to the compound householder with regard to the franchise was from the fact that ho saved the parish a deal of expense by the manner in which the rates were collected. It was necessary to protect the compound householder and prevent him from being disfranchised. This could have been done by repealing the act alluded to by the noble earl ; but that did not come within the scope of this bill, and therefore it was not practicable, but to meet the evil clause 7 was introduced, and ho sub mitted to their lordships that it was necessary that it should remain part of the bill. (Hear, hear.) Lord ROMNEY said that very great benefit had been conferred by this act, and they ware going to repeal it, not because it had failed in the object for which it was named, but to moot a totally different matter, and this he thought excessively unwise. [LEFT SITTING.] HOUSE OF COMMONS.-THIS DAY. The SPEAKER took the chair at 2 o'clock. UNIVERSITY EDUCATION IN IRELAND. Mr. FAWCET gave notice that on Thursday he would ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether the house would be consulted before any charter was granted or any legislation took place with reference to the universities in Ireland.

Mr. WALPOLE was of opinion that the information before the house was of the most extensive description. There was no subject on which the house was better in formed, and he therefore heped the house would at once proceed with the bill. Any further delay was greatly to be deplored. Mr. LIDDELL supported tho proposal of the hon. member opposite (Mr. Moffatt). Ile did not think the house should adopt the principle of compulsory education without consulting those who were more immediately in terested, and he therefore hoped the house would wait until their voice was hoard within the walls of Parlia ment. ti,./dr. BRUCE said the argument of the hon. member who had just spoken meant delay, not till next session, but till the session subsequent to that. Ile, however, demurred to any further delay, and thought there was sufficient in formation before the house. Mr. POWELL supported the enent, and thought the house had reason to complain of am rode state of the bill when first introduced. (LEFT SITTING.)

FLORENCE, July 30. Chevalier de Nigra has arrived here. The Opinione of to-day, discussing the remarks of the illoniteur referring to Italy, says :—" The official organ of the French Government states that it has reason to reckon upon the strict observance of the September Convention upon the part of Italy, but it forgets that the Convention binds not only Italy, but France also. The Moniteur would have effected a work of healthy policy if it had at the same time given assurances that France has uo intention of departing either from the letter or the spirit of the Convention, and had stated that it sought to admit that there were no longer French but Pontifical soldiers in Rome. It is not right, therefore, that French Generals should visit Rome to inspect Pon tifical troops•" LONDON GAZETTE.-THIS EVENING. WHITEHALL, JULY 27.
