FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCh PAPERS. (From the Gazette de Prance, dated August 19.) CONSTANTINOPLE, JULY 26.—For some days past news has been spread of a victory gained over the Russians by Hussein Pacha. However, the inhabi tants of Pera will not believe any thing of it, except that a considerable corps of Turkish cavalry may have surprised the vanguard of the Russians at Ba zardjik, and have caused it a considerable loss till sufficient reinforcements arrived from the Russian camp. . _ Hussein Pacha bas caused Ejoub Pacha to be be headed, who did not sufficiently defend himself on the Danube. The tranquillity of the capital has not been dis turbed, but the powder-magazines at St. Stefano, on the road to Bougas, the most considerable of those belonging to Government, have been blown up, which, under present circumstances, is a very severe loss. The Sultan has therefore ordered that 500 of the richest schismatic Armenians, and 500 rich Greeks, shall be compelled to make good this loss. The Sultan has lately had a daughter, born, who bas received the name of Fatima. ALEXANDRIA, JULY 18.—Our Pacha has been confirmed in his post by the Porte, which has cost him a great deal, though there were no competitors. The levying of the contribution is pressed with great rigour in the country, and fills the inhabitants with despair, they being already exhausted by the levies of recruits and the preceding imposts. Those of some villages of the Delta have left their abodes, burnt their houses, and have fled into Syria. An English brig arrived to-day in three days from Navarin, which bri ng s l e tters to the Pacha from hi s son Ibrahim, in which he asks instructions respect ing the conduct he is to observe in the difficult situation in wllich he is placed by the Rigorous blockade by the Allies, and by the discontent which begins to show itself among the troops. He ex presses a wish to return to Egypt with his army. By chance, the Pacha just arrived here to-day.-- Aitgsburgh Gazette. PARIS, AUG. 18.—By a telegraphic despatch of the 17th, Lieutenant-General Count Maison, com manding the expedition, announces that the troops which are to make part of the first division were embarked; that he was going on board that mo ment, and that he would depart as soon as the tran sports had received their instructions. - A second telegraphic despatch, at eight o'clock in the morning of the same day, announces that the fleet was on the point of setting sail. TOULON, AUG. 12.—Yesterday his Excellency the Duke of Blacas arrived here, and it is affirmed will embark the day after to-morrow for• Naples, which has caused it to be reported for some hours, that the expedition would receive another destina tion. Whatever be his object, or the coast on which we are to land, it is impossible to see more resolu tion among the officers and soldiers, or finer troops, or more confidence in the commanders whom the King by given them (From the Journal des Debuts.) PARIS, AUG. 18.—Nobody has forgotten the ar unierit, by the aid of which the English Ministers attempted to justify, a few weeks ago, their acknow ledgment of the blockade of Oporto. I)on Miguel was the legitimate Regent of Portugal, in the name of his brother, Don Pedro, and in that quality he closed the entrance of the Douro to English vessels. The English flag sunk before the manifesto of a Prince, whose treason was then clear to all eyes, even to these of the statesmen of Great Britain.— As the most ancient and faithful ally of the Emperor Don Pedro, the English Government alone, of all the Governments of Europe, answered by a pusilla nimous sanction, a measure which necessarily has tened the sanction of Don Miguel. Events fol lowed each other so fast, that the acknowledgment of the blockade of Oporto had no material influ ence on a campaign undertaken in the name of legitimacy, and England has not even attained the gratitude of Miguel I. His triumph was com pleted to the cry of death to the English; the subjects of his Britannic Majesty were thrown pelt well with the subjects of Don Pedro into the dungeons of Lisbon and Oporto. We have now another blockade. It is no longer a legitimate Regent who declares it, but a crowned Usurper, whose treasons have ba nished from his capital all the Representatives of the Sovereigns of Europe, including the English Am bassador. There is no question even of a part of the territory over which this Government de facto rules; but of a country separated fortunately by some hundreds of leagues from the domination of Don Miguel. No doubt the English Cabinet, enlightened by the memorable results of its pitiable policy to wards Portugal, will resume with dignity the part which it abrogated through weakness. Not at all. The Duke of Wellington has sworn to imprint on his Administration a mark which is to distinguish it, we will venture to say, from all others with which England has ever Leen inflicted. The blockade of Madeira is acknowledged, as was that of Oporto. In truth, among our late reflections on the political decay of Great Britain, we remain far below the truth. She is not only lowered in the opinion of the world, but even in her own. It is no longer an influential post which she abdicates, but a voluntary humilia tion which she accepts. This cannot last. Not to make war in Europe, the Duke of Wellington has declared war against England. We have not re published the language of approval given by the in dependent Press of London to the observations which we published a short time back on the situa tion of England. It was not, however, without some satisfaction, that we found in the English Journals v.ishes and sentiments like those which dictated our reflections. The measure is now com ing to its height. From an apparent neutrality towards the Cabinet hitherto inoffensive, our neigh• bours have already begun hostilities, which an en lightened patriotism tio longer permits to be delayed. Public opinion will will very soon subject to a severe examination the conduct of a Ministry which wounds it in what it regards as most sacred--the national honour. Is there Hot a high direction now given to it ? The Lord High Admiral--the Presumptive Heir to the Crown—the Duke of Clarence —re - signed his office on the very day that the official acknowledgment of the blockade of Madeira was pronounced. (From the Constitutionnel.) PARIS, AUG. 18.—The Chamber of 1828 ap pears destined to suffer under the calumnies of the party which calls itself Royalist. Unfortunately for it, this title it must share with all that is honour able in France. The Chamber is called republican, because it was jealous of the people's liberties; and it will now be called revolutionary, because it de nies Villele's legitimacy ; and impious, for hav ing proclaimed itself the enemy of the Jesuits. With out being terrified by these calumnies, the Chamber will find refuge in its conscience, certain of having remained faithful to loyalty, to the Charter, and to France. It has served the Prince as the Prince wiAbes to be served, telling him the truth, and taking part in his glory, which it has not separated from the glory of the country. The organs of the co unter-revolution will endeavour in vain to blacken it in the mind of the Monarch ; we are certain, and all enlightened men are of our opinion, that the Ses sion of 1828, in exposing the Minister Villele—in obtain;ng the ordinances which have delivered the country from a shameful yoke —and ; n purifying. the electorial urn, has deserved well of the Constitu tioHalThrone, the basis of which it has secured. The Monilcur of to-day contains the following rote Journals have published a paper, -en titled " Memoire addressee au Roi r a, les Eveques de Prance;" they suppose that this Memorial has been drawn up in the name of the greater number of the Bishops : it has not however received ally one signature. The thing may be easily explained. The Bishops of France know that they have the right of carrying their individual complaints to the foot of the throne, but they cannot unite or enter into con cert without permission of the King. We know for our part, that the King has not received, and never will receive, a Memorial, the result of a de liberation of this description, which must be un authorised. When Saint Louis arid Louis XIV. received with favour and goodness the just and legi timate remonstrances of the French Prelates, these Prelates had been united . by their orders. Such publications, however, are ill calculated to serve the interests of religion and secure the obedience of subjects. They cannot proceed from the Bishops. The Bishops of France have accustomed ns to re ceive from them other lessons and other examples. The King, in his wisdom, and within the limits of his authority, has issued some ordinances concerning the Ecclesiastical Secondary Schools, in order to en force the execution of the laws of his kingdom, and he will know how to cause them to be executed. The dignity of his crown and the welfare of religion de mand it. FRENCH FUNDS, PARIS, AUG. !S.—Five per Cents. 107 f. 15c. Three per Cents. '72f. 40c. ; Bank Stock, 1,865 f. Naples Stock, 76f. !be.

(From the Messager des Chambres.) PARIS, AUG. 11.--The French and foreign jour nals have spoken variously regarding the literary ex pedition to Egypt, which certain scholars and artists are now carrying into effect under the direction of M. Champollion, jun. We owe it to our readers to lay before them some correct details of this interest ing undertaking. We take the eaclicst opportunity of stating, that it is an act of favour on the part of the King towards the historical sciences and fine arts. His Majesty having condescended to give his ap probation to the plan of this voyage, the Ministers of the Interior, of Foreign Affairs, the Marine, and the Intendant of the Household of the King, were charged with its execution. ' The mere object of the voyage cannot fail to ex• cite a lively interest in the King's Ministers, since it was the object of the wishes of all the learned societies of Europe. We are now in fact sufficiently advanced in the knowledge of Egyptian writing; the monuments of Egypt, which have been trans ported into the public museums and private collec tions, have already furnished many notions regard ing the civil and military history, the religious sys tem and mythological personages, the social life, manners, usages, and arts in general, in ancient Egypt, to skew how many important chasms remain to be filled in the history of the most celebrated people of antiquity, who, in the most ancient epochs of their annals, were already mixed with nations of the east and of the west, the history of whose early ages is not yet known. Egypt may therefore re store to us, by the evidence of its monuments, many pages which we want in our own history, and in the universal history of primitive society. This acqui sition will not be dearly purchased fay some expen diture, fatigue, and danger. These are the very views which animate our French travellers, and which excite their zeal and devotion. Fully prepared for this scientific explora tion, and confiding, as they have every reason to do, in the intelligence of their chief—protected, more over, by the venerated name of their King—they quitted the coast of France on the 31st of July last, in the corvette Egle, which will touch at first at Agrigentum, in Sicily, and from thence take them to Alexandria. To M. Champollion are added MM. Bibent, ar chitect, known by his important works on Pompeii, Nestor, and L'Hote, designers employed in the ge neral direction of the customs ; Salvator Cherubini, and Alexander Duchesne, Bertin, jun. and Lebaux, pupils of Baron Gros. M. Lenormand, inspector in the department of the Fine Arts, has taken ad vantage of this precious opportunity to visit the mo numents of Egypt. An association, not less fortunate for the French travellers, is that which has been promised them by the Grand Duke of Tuscany, animated by that well known protection of the arts and sciences which is hereditary in his family. This Prince has nomi nated several Italian scholars to join M. Charnpol lion, and has placed them under his direction, to as sist his researches, and labour in common for the general promotion of this memorable expedition. M. H. Rosallini, Professor of the Oriental Tongues in the University of Pisa, more especially charged with the orders of his Highness, will hue with him, M. Gaetano Rossallini, as naturalist; Dr. Alex ander Ricci, who has already resided in Egypt, and Professors Raddi and•Angelelli. They will accom pany the French travellers. Such is the assemblage of scholars and artists united in objects and„ efforts to accomplish one of the noblest enterprises of our age. If circumstances be not too unfavourable, the learned of Ern ape will be indebted to it for important documents in history, and the fine arts and the literary annals of France will record this voyage with gratitude. It will afford them another opportunity to celebrate the name of the King, the patron of every thing great. 44,14 - • 44.41* ELEPHANT HUNTING. Extract of a letter from a Medical Officer, dated Hambentotti, island of Ceylon, February 26 : " I have just returned horn beholding a sight, which, even in this country, is of rare occurrence, — viz., an elephant hunt, conducted under the orders of Government. A minute description (though well worth perusal) would be far too long for a letter, I sh►►ll therefore only give you what is usually called a faint idea. " Imagine 2,000 or 3,000 men surrounding a tract of country six or eight miles in circumference, each one armed with different combustibles and moving fires; in the midst suppose 300 elephants, being driven towards the centre by the gradual and regular approach of these fires, till at last they are confined within a circle of. about two miles ; they are then driven by the same means into a space made by the erection of immense logs of ebony, and other strong wood, bound together by cane, and of the shape (in miniature) of the longitudinal section of a funnel, towards which they rush with the great est fury, amidst the most horrid yells on the ap proach of fire, of which they stand in the greatest dread. When enclosed they become outrageous and charge on all sides with great fury, but without any effect on the strong barricade : they at last gain the narrow . path of the enclosure, the exteme end of which is just large enough to admit one elephant,which I .simmediately prevented breaking out by strong bars laid across. To express their passion, their des peratimi, when thus confined, is impossible; and still I?re so, to im ag i ne th e facility and admirable con til mance by w hi c h t h ey are remove d an d tame d.— Thus it i s :—A• tame one eiep i l i s iatit lac y oerdpeons ; each side, to w h om the wild he fastened isplaced is then allow e d to pass o u t, an d i m mediately on his making the least resistance, the tame ones give him a most tremendous squeeze between their • beat him with their trunks sides, and until he. submits ; they then lead him to a pla ce wady prepared, to which he is strongly fastened, and.i • eturn to perform the same civility to the next one. " In this way 70 wild elephants were captured for the purpose of Government labour. The tame elep h ants daily take each wild one singly to water and to feed until they become quite tame and docile. The remaining elephants were shot by the people. " I took possession of a young one, and have got him now tied up near my door; lie is quite re conciled, and eats with the greatest confidence out of my hand ; he is, however, too expensive to keep long, and I fear I must eventually shoot him. s ome idea of the expense may supposed, when I tell you that in one article alone, milk, his allowance is two gallons per day. " I was at this scene with 30 other officers and their ladies, and we remained in temporary huts " for nearly ten days. " W. T. The farmers in this neighbourhood were yes terday very actively making the hest use of the fine weather to car, y th e i r corn, a great quant i ty o f w hi c h , we are happy to learn, W AS bi dd y housed. —Maidstone Journal. LONDON. THURSDAY EVENING, AUGUST 21, 1828. A Ministerial Morning Paper has published the following consolatory bulletin to quiet the apprehensions of the Orangemen of Derry and their compatriots generally : " We are enabled most confidently to state, that the insinuation in a Paper of yesterday, that Mr. DAWSON'S sentiments, as delivered by him on the occasion of the late celebration at Derry, were sanctioned by the Prime Minister, is totally destitute yf foundation. Alike un founded is the assertion in another Paper, that Mr. DAWSON was countenanced by Mr. PEEL in the much-regretted course which he has so unaccountably been induced to adopt. Mr. DAWSON spoke neither the sentiments of the illustrious Vt , ELLINGTON, nor those of his Right Hon. Relative, on that occasion ; he acted de cidedly upon the long-recognized principle of free agency in regard to Catholic Claims ; and those persons who affect to attach so much con sequence to to this proceeding, must know, un less they have been wholly inattentive to the subject, that the question of Emancipation has, for many years, been completely open, and in no respect considered a Cabinet or Ministerial -mea sure." Now this, " totally destitute of foundation," we do not believe, first, because Mr. DAWSON is a man of too much good sense, if not shrewdness, to seize such an opportunity for declaring himself a convert to liberality in the face of his assembled Constituents at a moment when they were cele brating the proudest of their recollections.-- Secondly, we do not believe the authenticity of our Contemporary, because it has a manifest in terest in propagating the delusion. May we ask from what quarter did our Contemporary receive his " authority ?" It cannot be from head-quarters surely, for the Commander-in- Chief is now at Cheltenham, pouring cold water upon the effervescence of his " No-Popery," companions. It cannot be from Mr. PEEL, for that Right Hon. Gentleman would not make such breathless haste to quiet the alarms of our Contemporary at the expence of his Brother.— No, the pomposity of our Contemporary is affected—its solemn assurance passes for nothing with those who know the trickery of such " State matters." The hesitating doubts of office emanating from 'those who with, will not be received as " official " in the names of those who know. The Duke of WELLINGTON, much to his credit, is at this moment brushing away the scruples of some stubborn but con scientious influential personages with respect to the Catholic Question—a question which he feels, and which every well-wisher of his country feels, to be paramount to all others. Let not our Contemporary be alarmed—the Duke has given Mr. DAwsoN full power to use his own discretion in announcing the inten tion of his MAJESTY'S Government with respect to Ireland—and the scene of operations chosen by Mr. DAWSON proves him to be a man of mettle as well as a bold speaker. His very eloquence took the electors of Derry by storm !—they were seized with wonder unutterable, except in the dying hisses of their confounded hope. We really envy Mr. DA wsorr the boldness of his attack, and the noble sincerity of his pur pose. Such a speech, and so timed, is like one of those military movements which decide the fate of Empires. The grievances of the Catholics are at length heard, because their power is felt. They do not speak the thunders of menace, but whisper the no less powerful arguments of conviction. They have appealed to our candour, and will re ceivetheir c l a i ms f rom our justice. When the Catholic Question is once set at rest, men will only wonder that it had been so long delayed. But thus it is with prejudice, whether indi vidual or national. Once more we say to the ill-omened birds of persecution, be . not alarmed, for it is the interest of the country that some thing be done for Ireland, and that something shall be done—and done quickly. Brussels Papers of the 20th inst. have been received, which copy some information relative to Greece from the Universal Gazette, but the dates appear old. Prince MlLoscif, according to accounts from the Banks of the Danube, is prepared to avail himself of circumstances, as the fortunes of the PORTE may warrant. He is said to have an army of 50,000 men, which secures him the re spect of both Russians and Turks. He is playing a counterpart of the Pacba of EGYPT'S policy :-- rOZOS, JUNE 7. Letters from Franco Castello say, that on the 21st of May there was an engagement between a corps of our troops and the Pacha of Rettimo, who was defeated and driven back to the fortress. The Aga and another Turk of high rank were taken prisoners, and the Pacha received five wounds. According to the account of the prisoners, the Turks lost 500 men. The Greeks have also taken from the enemy 20,000 sheep. After this affair Mustapha Pacha arrived with four thousand men at Askyphou, and thence at Patzano, in the province of Sphackia, where he is blockaded on all sides by the Cretans, who have occupied all the defiles by which he could extricate himself from this situation. Ilaggi Mechali, the commander of our cavalry, is said to be in his turn blockaded on the land si•le in Franco Castello ; but the communication on the sea side is open, and the President is going to send him a supply of ammunition and provisions. We learn to-day that a corps of the enemy on its way from Canea, with ammunition and provisions for the Turks, who are blockaded by our troops, was attacked and dis persed near Askyphou, and all the provisions, &c. fell into our hands. No. 41 of the same paper, dated June 21, says— By the last letters from Crete, we learn with great regret that the cavalry• of General Haggi Mechali was entirely destroyed in the action of 29th May, before Franco Cas tello, in which the brave commander himself was killed. On the 3th June, our men being hard pressed, left Franco Castello with honour. After several remarkable actions, the enemy having sustained considerable loss, has again gone into his fortresses. CORFU, JULY 21. Two Egyptian corvettes have entered the port of Navarin, their appearance has caused the more surprise, as the blockade has been extremely strict for above three weeks, so that it was impossible even for the smallest boats to go from Navarin to Modon. The Pacha of Rodi has fitted out a corvette which has already captured several Greek caiques. BANNS OF THE DANUBE, AUG. 4. The policy of Prince Milosch in still involved in mystery. His conduct resembles in many points that of the Pacha of Egypt. Prince Milosch maintains, on the war esta blishment, an army of 50,000 men, with which he causes his territory to be respected by the Russians and the Turks, ready to take advantage of circumstances to make himself independent. BRUSSELS, AUG. 17. Mr. Clews, a British Cabinet Messenger passed through this city yesterday, on his way from London to Berlin, and an Austrian Cabinet Messenger from Vienna, with de spatches for London. Auc. 18.—His Royal Highness the Duke of Cumber land and all his suite arrived here yesterday evening from London. He set out this morning for Germany. Extracts from the French Papers will be found in another column ; they do not however com municate any thing decisive. The French Ex pedition had all but sailed. Demerara Gazettes to the 28th June are re ceived at the North and South American Coffee house, but they do not contain a single article worth extracting. The Frankfort Journal of the 13th inst. says, that Schumla was attacked on the 21st and 22d of July, and taken by the Russians. This appears doubtful, because the last news from the Russian head-quarters was dated the 23d : (BY EXPRESS.) HERMANSTADT, JULY 31. Yesterday evening news was received here that the Emperor of Russia left Bazardjik on the 18th of July, and followed the army which advanced towards Chournla, after having some days before made itself master of Beghirli. It is said that Choumla was attacked the 21st or 22d of July, and that it fell into the hands of the Russians. Though there is no official communication of this important event, the news seems to deserve credit, because it comes from good authority from several different quarters. i N. B. The last news from t►re Russian heed-quarters in the Prussian State Gazette was dated July 23. The same Journal, to the 16th August, has no further account. Letters have been received from Madeira dated the 23d of July, at which time they were perfectly aware that an expedition was coming against them, for which due preparation was making to give the Miguelites a warm reception. The " blockade" was only known on paper—as no vessel had appeared of the Port. Viscount STRANGFORD had an interview yes terday with the Earl of AISERDZEN, at the office of the Se cretary of State for Foreign Affairs. His Lordship also transacted business at the Foreign-office. His Grace the Duke of GORDON arrived on Friday last at Huntly Lodge, where he will remain until the repairs of Gordon Castle are completed. The Duchess of BEDFORD is daily expected at Invereshie.—Edinburgh Evening Courant. Mr. DAWSON.—We have respectable autho rity to state, that the friends of Civil and Religious Liberty in Belfast only wait for an unequivocal declaration of Mr. DAvrsoN's opinions in favour of Emancipation, to invite the lion. Gentleman to a public entertainment.—Dublin Freeman's Journal. SALISBURY MUSIC MEETING.-SALIS BURY, Ala:. 19.—Our festival commenced this evening with a Concert at the Assize Rooms, which were crowded to excess, as might have been expected from the talent of the performers engaged.—Miss PATON gave the scene from Freischutz in a very brilliant manner; Madame CARA DORI in " Di Piacer" was every thing that could be wished ; and Miss GRANT sung " Should he upbraid" very plea santly. BRAHAM was in excellent voice, and gave the scena from Oberon with very great effect. COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL.-(THIS DAY.)—A special Court was held at Guildhall, before the Loan MAYOR, at which Mr. PEACOCK grave notice of a motion to be taken into consideration on the following Court-day, " to consider the propriety of this Court ex pressing its opinion with respect to civil and religious restrictions." The opposite extremes of the weather in different parts of the world this year are such as almost to amount to a general phenomenon. We find it stated in the last accounts from Corsica, that the weather in that island continued so sultry as to have dried up the trees and plants to a degree, that the least spark would set them on fire. Some vineyards and plantations in the vicinity of Ajaccio lately caught fire, and would have suffered total destruction had not timely aid been sent from the city. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.)

The Peace, Thompson, from Madeira, which place she left on the 23d of July, has arrived in the River. His Majesty's ship Medina arrived at Madeira on the 12th, from Lisbon. The Privateer, or Pirates, which captured the Caraboo, from Liverpool to the River Plate, re ported that she had taken five other vessels, viz., two British, one Dutch, one American, and one French, previous to the 20th ult. THE FUNDS-(THIS DAY). CITY, TWELVE 0 . CLOCIf. The same want of business which has characterised the operations in the English Funds for the last two days continues this morning. Consols opened at 871, but the glass having become a little lower, followed by a sprinkling of rain, and a sale by a prin cipal Broker at 87i for October, turned the market a trifle lower, and they are now 87k 4, with scarcely any business; the Commissioners paid 871. The premium on India Bond are 2s. per cent. lower, being 111 13; Exchequer Bills, 71 2. The account day, which takes place this day week, is considered Bullish. In the Foreign Funds the operations are languid. Russian and Danish are both higher; the former, 95/ ; the latter, 62 /; Portuguese, 53 l; Bra zilian Bonds are 61 /; and Mexican, 38/ In Shares there is nothing to notice different from the prices for the last few days. Letters have been received this morning from the Island of Madeira of the 23d ult., at which period the Governor, Valdez, continued faithful to the au thority of Don Pedro; every preparation had been made to ensure the expedition from Portugal a warm reception when it made its appearance, and additional defences had been erected for the security of this rallying point of the Constitutional cause; it may, perhaps, be worthy of notice that the announced blockade is considered to apply only to the town of Funchal ; but we are much mistaken, if it is not ac knowledged by our patient Ministers further than this extent, that there will be found other points to aid and assist, with provisions and stores, this loyal bond of defenders against their infamous assailant Don Miguel.

We have just this instant learned that the French Lady whose distressing case we have given in our Paper of to day, died this morning at two o'clock. An intense interest has been excited in high quarters respecting this unfortunate Lady, and as nothing but state ments, in a great measure incorrect, have appeared, we deem it proper to subjoin the following correct statement : Mr. Stackpole, a gentleman of fortune in Ennis, Clare, having been in Paris, had Elize Sermirot, of Bourdeaux, recommended to him as a nursery-governess. Upon the recommendation he engaged her, and brought her to London, on his way home. He was detained here for two or three days ; and engaged places for himself, his servant, and the unfortunate Elize, at the Swan- with two-Necks, for Liverpool, to leave town on the 29th of June. He had seated himself on the front of the coach ; and his servant was assisting the lady to ascend the roof by a ladder. While she was standing on the ladder, a porter, who had been placed at the head of the horses left his situation, and the h o rses starting forward, threw her down, by which her thigh-bone was fractured. She was immediately brought to St. Bartholomew's Hospital, and placed under Mr. Laurence. Mr. Stackpole attended her there, and remained in town for four or five days in consequence.— Soon afterwards, Mr. Laurence being obliged to leave town, the care of the patient devolved on Mr. Lloyd. —For nearly a month every exertion was used to save the limb; but, on the 26th July, the only hope left of preserving the Lady was by amputation of the thigh at its upper third. Mr. Lloyd performed the opera tion, and for a fortnight afterwards the wound granulated kindly, and had every appearance of doing well. At the end of that time, erysipelas came on, the constitution changed, large sloughing took place, and the patient gradually grew worse in spite of all attempts to save her, until she expired. This morning the body was examined. There was an effusion of lymph on the brain, and the lungs did not ap pear healthy ; but nothing occasioned her death except the local injury. The Marquis of Hertford sent his physician, Dr. Hawkins, to the Hospital yesterday to remove the pa tient to an airy private lodging should her condition admit of it, and to be attended by the Marquis's medical attendants, at his personal expence. The Baroness Mon tesquieu also called at the Hospital yesterday, with an offer of her services. The Marquis of Lansdowne wrote to Mr. Lloyd this morning also, tendering his services. Mr. Lloyd likewise received an anonymous letter, inclosing 51. towards her relief, as well as one int:losing a similar amount from Mr. Little, of Stratford-upon-Avon. It is satisfactory to state that every possible attention was paid to the patient by Mr. Lloyd, from the moment of her admission to her death. Mr. Stackpole too, sent 5/. The lady, whom we have seen, was dark complexioned, rather pretty and genteel„ —a slim figure, and 25 years of of age. A French nurse was continually in attendance upon her. A Meeting was this day advertisedto n b u e m held at the City of London Tavern, for the purpose of enquiring into the particulars of the Duke of CLAUENCE'S resigna tion. Up to three o'clock, there were only 1 5 persons pre sent, eight of whom were reporters.--A s hilling was de manded for admittance.

His LORDSHIP sat this morning at half-pas' o'clock, and stated, on coming into Court, that thought it would be more convenient for CO and the parties, that he should hear this case rather than at his house. Mr. KNIGHT observed that affidavits had 1 filed on the part of the defendant, and doubted' much whether the Court could now proceed, 8 was essentially necessary the plaintiff should ans' if the defendant insisted on reading them. Mr. TRESLOVE stated, he should certainly them. His LORDSHIP remarked, that if the Court now going on to sit, he should certainly give parties an opportunity of answering the affidavO matter of course. However inconvenient it be for his Lordship to attend to hear the easel, certainly would do so in the present instanct soon as the parties were ready. Mr. TRESLOVE was sorry to encroach so Ic on the goodness of the Court, and proposed that client should be permitted to go on w orking colliery, giving security. His LORDSHIP stated this was an Strrallgen lell could riot enter into. He should be in town no 28th of this month, when he would hear the cas his house, if Counsel would attend.

RESIGNATION OF THE LORD HI ADMIRAL. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. iil a f' SlR—Although not likely myself to be immedia te l y of fected, either one way or the other, by the resignal the his Royal Highness the Duke of Clarence of his post .ke l o f Admiralty, 1 cannot resist troubling you, for the w th e the thousands of my brave countrymen serving 11 ',, Royal Navy, with a f e w w o rd s e xp r e s si ve o f my deer gret at this circumstance. tic ir ; The constitution of both army an d nav y, b u t Pe, e t. larly the latter, is such, th a t it m us t a l ways b e a 0.-40(1' delight to every thinking lover of his country, to „, z , when it is p rac ti ca bl e , th e a d m i n i strat i on o f t h e ir Ole tive affairs pl ace d i n th e h an d s o f P r i nces , especiallY isir,e(l we have reaso n t o thi n k th em hi g h mi n d e d an d liben o r fitted, by due activity and attention, for public Ca l l i „ for ment. I can hardly, I should think, be asked a reanbst this plain impression. If I were to be. I should sal' f o r where so many brave Officers are constantly looking 0 01 Y ward, and struggling for honourable promotion, throe 0 4 who are most likely to deal out even-handed justice, dog are placed farthest beyond the reach of the never-low importunities with which public men are ever beaetP e st relatives and personal friends (to say nothing of far a s claims) should be placed at the head of such departine e '' the Admiralty.

Pr"i r .- Lords of the Admiralty (which I am far, however, exo the , believing), should we not, in that case, compare cost with the additional ben efi ts to the navy, an d of cv sequence to the country. Referring to the above vio r ; these benefits, I will confidently ask those whose na minds are not chained to figures, whose senses are not 13 in a maze of X. a. d., whether the balance is not he somely in favour of the nation ; and, let it not be forgot% a Melville might have gene these official trips without 5 public knowing or caring a word about the matter, every movement of the Royal Duke has been regularly claimed in every public print throughout the king (ll 2 But peradventure there may be some sapients who e% l the Royal Duke should have managed to perform his P u duties INCOG ! ! With respect to the lavish expenditure of gen P -a ft o r which has been sneeringly referred to, any man of coeV, understanding must perceive that it is an expence att .
