EXPRESS FROM PARIS. We have this morning received by Express im portant intelligence from Paris, together with ttsiEtoile of yesterday. The Paris Money Market, it appears, had been for some time in such a sickly state, that the settlement could scarcely be got over ; and although die Rentes were quoted lu the Sunday Papers at 101 f. 30c., yet dug price was quite nominal, for nothing was done in them on Saturday. On Monday, how. ever, partly from the great scarcity of money, but principally, as we had anticipated, from the news of the fall in the English funds, and and from the intelligence of the still more Im portant fact that the British Government had consented to give the aid of a military force to Portugal. The greatest panic was pro duced, and the Rade* fell suddenly from 101 f. 304. to 97f. 25c., and after immense sales had been effected, left of at 99f. 40c. The mea sure, agreed to by this country, was known to, or at least suspected by, the French Ministry on Saturday. On Monday, no doubt whatever was entertained of the fact, as stated by us on Satur day, last, via. That Great Britain had acceded to the request of Portugal for an auxiliary force. We can positively assure our Readers that one of the most Influential Members of the French Cabinet has declared, that although his Government was aware of the application made to Great Britain by Portugal, yet that France had not par ticipated in any shape in the negociation, aitd that her conduct, upon our decision, mug be regulated by after considerations.— Previous to last Saturday the French Govern ment had no suspicion that such a measure would have been adopted without their concurrence, particularly, as they were in correspondence wfth the Government of this country on the Mute of Portugal. If the French Govern ment was in a state of ignorance upon a measure of such vital importance, it is but reasonable to conclude that the other Continental Cabinets were equally uninformed and unconnected upon the subject. The measure is one of great magnitude, and may lead to consequences that it is impossible to foresee.—While we are ou this somewhat orntuons subject, it may not be amiss to re. mind oar Readers that a Ministerial Congress is actually at this moment deliberating, and per haps resolving too, at Johannisberg, on affairs Nattily important, if not more so, as regard the tranquillity of Europe, than the transaction of which we have been speaking. The Emile contains nothing worth extracting It says that the King transacted business with M. de VILLELE, after hearing Mass in his apartments; and in an article, commenting on some observa tion upon ITU Itili DE, which had appeared in the British Monitor, it speaks of that adventurer as a faithful subject of Ma King of Spain, but declares t hat he will not be assisted in , his enterprise by a single French battalion. In a postscript the Etoile acknowledges the receipt of the English Journals by Express, containing the news respecting the Hanoverian troops, and merely says ) that as it had been for some time known that Portugal had solicited aid, the news ought not excite surprize. We have received the Paris Papers of Sunday, and the Made of Monday, and have given ex tracts from them in a preceding column. The King of FUANca continues to transact business regularly with his Ministers, which Is the best possible proof of the utter falsehood of all the regent reports of his MAJESTY'S health being In an unusually alarming state.—The Decree of FERDINAND VII. for the levying of 36,000 men, chiefly destined to be employed in South Ame rica, was published on the 18th ult. together with the necessary specifications for the contingents to be furnished by the different towns and com munes respectively. These Papers contain no thing else of interest, with the exception of the light which they throw upon the prospects of the Greeks, and which is, to say the least, cheering. In a preceding column we have given tome further South American intelligence, amongst which is the Decree of the Peruvian Congress for investing BOLIVAII with dictatorial power. We accidentally omitted yesterday to state that the late President of the Republic of Peru, whose office is superseded by BOLIYAIL'S dicta torship, has deserted the Independent cause, and gone over with a body of followers to the Spaniards. We this day • lay before our Readers, In ano. ther part of our Paper, the official accounts of the Revenue for the Tears and Quarters ending sth July 1823 and 1824. The results indicate a very flourishing state of the Revenue, and aro therefore highly satisfactory. Major-General Lord HILL and his Aide-de- Camp, Geu. Ecawrox, have been unexpectedly summoned to town. Lord that. Is next In Corn maad to the Duke of WELLINGTON. Quay -e— lks this sudden appearance of his Lordship any reference to the affairs of Portugal, In which country his Lordship so long and se honourably served 1 Letters have been received from Rio do Ja neiro, dated the 3d of May. No event of pro- Eminent interest had transpired at the seat of Go vernment prior to that date. There were three or four French ships of war in the harbour in the beginning of May ; one a line-of-battle ship, having arrived on the Ist from France. There were, in all, said to be seven or eight cruizing on the Brazilian coast. The private letters, which mention the fact of the arrival of the ship of the Sine, also state that several French vessels of war have gone round Cape Horn. The Emperor, it is said, bad gone to Campos. The packet for England was to sail about the 10th. Advices have been received from Maranham to the Ist of June, at which period all remained tranquil. The fact of orders having been issued at Rio do Janeiro, to disembark the warlike stores destined for the expedition against Per nambuco, had led the Paraihaus to believe that some insurrectionary movement had taken place In the Brazilian capital ; but the more likely supposition is, that the counter-orders were given in the belief that the Pernambucans were on the eve of settling their disputes with the Imperial party. A strong Republican feeling is said to exist In all the northern provinces of Brazil. Notice has been given at the Stock Exchange, that the Bank will, at four days' notice if re quired, pay the amount due to the dissentients to the reduction of the four per cents., on their al lowing discount at the rate of four per cent. for the period till the 6th of October, on which day notice has been given that such payments will be made by Government. The total sum to be paid to the dissentients is something under 6,000,0001. Very few of them will, however, it is supposed, avail themselves of the offer made by the Bank, as money cannot be employed at present, on per fectly good security, at so high u rate as four per cent. Yesterday afternoon, at two o'clock, a Cabinet Council was held at the Foreign Office, Down ing -street, which was attended by the Earls of Liverpool, Westmorland, and I3athurst ; Mr. Se cretary Canning, Mr. Secretary Peel, the Chan cellor of the Exchequer, Lord Bexley, Mr. Wyun, Mr. Iluskisson, &c. The Cabinet broke up a quarter before four o'clock. Prince PoLforfAu, the French Ambassador, transacted business yesterday with Mr. CANNING, at the Secretary of State's Office for Foreign Affairs. Yesterday afternoon, at four o'clock, the Duke of Yona held a Levee as Commander-in-Chief, at his Office in the Horse Guards, at which the following distinguished Officers were presented to his Royal Highness :—The Earl of Dalhousie, on his return from North America ; Major-Gen. Turner, on his being appointed Captain-General of the Coast of Africa ; and Major-General Murray, on his return from the West Indies.— The Levee was also attended by General Milner, Major-General Sir C. Bingham, and near thirty other Military Officers. MS MAJESTY has expressed himself exceed ingly pleased with the liberal spirit of the general residents at Brighton, in consequence of their having demolished, or agreed to demolish, the new building, recently erected between the Palace and the sea, which, if permitted to remain, would entirely have intercepted the view of the ocean from the Pavilion. The KING, it is said, intends to return to Brighton towards the autumn. EtnaTum.—ln our King's Bench repott yesterday, for venal read venue. P444CE OP STOCKS Tills DAY AT OMB O'CLOCK.

THE THEATRE. &MUM OPERA house.--A musical piece, in two acts, under the name of Military Tactics, was represented for the first time last night at this Theatre. The plot is nearly the same as the Farce called Match-making that has been repeatedly acted at the Haymarket, where it was well received. The piece was originally French, and the new translation has the addition of songs, comforrnably to the limited licence allotted to this Theatre. A few words will remind oar Readers of the fable :—An old Gentleman is fond of promoting marriage. A Colonel assumes the humbler rank of Captain, in hopes to induce the old Gentleman to assign his niece to him ; the Captain of the same regiment discovers the trick, and assumes the rank of Colonel, and after some ludicrous difficulties and embarrassments, the disguise of each is thrown off, and the Uncle who had offered his niece to both, consents to her mar riage with the Captain, who had rescued her from the assault of a ruffian. BARYLIT played the Uncle with great spirit and humour. PEARMAN, who lately returned from America, was the Cap. tain, and Powza the Colonel. They were all much applauded. WRENCII performed the character of a saucy valet with his usual spirit, and was well received on his entrance. Miss POVET was the niece; she not only sung well, bat acted the cha. racter with vivacity. After the play Master Bauer, who is stated to be only five years of age, and who does not appear to be more, performed Robin Adair with variations on the violin with surprizing skill, considering his age. Indeed his performance would be admired in an adult. Ile also played a Concerto with equal dexterity. In the first piece he was encored, and throughout was highly applauded. The burlesque Tragedy of Tom Thumb followed, and this infant musician was the hero of the piece. Ilis acting and sing. ing were also surprizing, considering his age, but by no means so much so as his instrumental performance. We conceive that Tom Thumb, however humorous, is not accordant with the present more refined taste of the Public. Miss POVEY again displayed her improved acting talents in the Queen, and TATLEURE was excel lent in Gritsie. The new piece was announced for repetition by Mr. BARTLET, and with gene ral assent. Miss KELLY, who has been for some years past in a state of health, l■ which excessive ex- ertion in her profession was considered highly dangerous, is now sufficiently restored to appear in various characters she had made so exclusively her own. Annelle, in the Maid and Magpie, is to be the first performance of this delightful actress. The young Lady who has wade so promising a debut at the English Opera is the daughter of Mrs. ligam-, an officer's widow, whose hus ba►►d, we believe, was killed iu the Peninsular war. A LGIERS.—We are favoured by a Gentleman In this neighbourhood with an extract from a letter, dated Malta, 27th May :—" The Cambrian ftigate has just arrived from All ; the lley would not receive even a Flag of Truce from our Admiral. The Cambrian sails for lingland to-morrow for orders for the treatment of his Highness."—( Muldstcnie Journal, July 6.) Yesterday Baron AaNtm, Charge d'Affaires of his Majesty the King of PitussiA to his Britannic MAJESTY, jointly with Mr. N. M. ROTHSCHILD, and accompanied by Mr. CUARLE3 GREEN, No tary Public, cancelled and deposited in the Bank of England, the sum of 18,400/. in special bonds of the Prussian Loan, negeciated by Mr. N. M. ROTUSCHILD in London in 182 1 2, being one moiety of the sum fixed for the redemption of Bonds in the second year ; and also the saving of the interest on the 35,5001. redeemed to the lit of January, 1824, inclusive. A meeting was yesterday held at the Kensing ton National School, to consider of the best means of paying a tribute of respect to the memory of the late Vicar the Rev. TKOMAS RENNILL, who died on the 30th ult. The Assembly was most respectable and numeroui, consisting of many of the friends and parishioners of the deceased.— The result of their deliberations was, that a subscription, not to exceed one guinea each person, should be made, and applied to the erection of a suitable monument. But one feeling seemed to pervade the Meeting, and the inhabi tants of Kensington on this subject—that of warm regard and admiration for the virtues of their late Pastor. We forbear entering into any de tail of the proceedings, as a decided opinion was expressed, through the medium of the Public Prints, would be hostile to the spirit of the Meet ing, and the private feelings of the inhabitants and friends of the deceased.—(Morning Post.) KENIMURE PernAGE.—W e understand thut yesterday a letter Was received in Kirkcudbright from Vis count keamure, the restoration of whose title produced an electric feeling of universal delight. The Magistrates lime. 'Hatay ordered the bells to be set a-ringing, which continued at intervals during the day. Flags' were displayed from the castle, and vesse l s in the harb our, and the Magtstrates, and a numerous company of the inhabitants, met in the King's Arms, where they partook of an elegant supper. No act of the Go vernment wee ever received with stronger demonstrations of grateful feeling in the town and county of Kirkcudbright, than the restoration of the ancient h onours to the house of Ken mure.—( Dumfries Journal.) A party of gentlemen, Mr. Ross in the Chair, dined together at the George r im , rertn, on Monday, to testify their pleasure at the restoration of Viscount Strathallan to the Peerage.—( Caledonian Ne'reur . g.) LANLENTABLE Occuancwcr.—The following has been communicated in a letter from Wear, near Axbridge, Somer setshire .—A shocking occident has taken place a few miles front us. It is said that whilst tour men were mowing the com plained to the master that their cider was not good. He replied, thut they should have better, went house, and tapped (as he thought) his best, and sent it to them. They had not drank it long before they were all taken ill ; a Gentleman was riding by at the time, to whom th e m en complained of being lie then went to their master, and asked what cider Itched given them; he " Good, come and taste it." The gentleman and the master both drank of it, became ill, and died, as did also the four men. After their death the barrel was examined, and there was found in it a female adder, which had got in whilst the barrel was drying, and had given birth to young ones, which were in a state of ~,d ecay in th e c id er . ,oan NOKUURY'S IN INV EsT.—llis Lordship, while lately indisposed, was threatened with a determination of blood to the head. Surgeon C--s. accordingly opened the temporal ar tery ; and, whilst attending to th e op era ti on , his Lordship said to him, in his usual quick manner, I believe you were never called to the Bur?"—" No, my Lord, I Never was," replied the Surgeon. " Well, lam sure, Doctor, I can safely say, you have cut afigure in the Temple.", THE KING. Wrsrpson, JtILT G.—This afternoon, at a quarter after four o'clock, the KnrG arrived at the Castle. His Majesty lef t the Royal Lodge in his pony phaeton, accompanied by the Marquis Conyngham and Sir A. Barnard on horseback, and drove down the Long Walk, and through the Little Park, to the Castle, where he expected to meet Mr. Wyatt, the architect, who not having arrived; his Majesty drove about the Castle, and was conducted to the various places where alterations are making, by Mr. Tebbott (carpenter), and Mr. Bedborough (stone-mason to his Majesty). The King, after remaining about twenty minutes at the Castle, left again for tite Royal Lodge, whero he will dine. VASIIIONABLB ARRIVALS.

Yesterday, notwithstanding the unprop►tious state of the weather, all the invited came. The Duke of YORK arrived at the hour of one, when his Royal Highness met a select circle ; but owing to the state of the weather—a drizzling rain having prevailed throughout the morning—the promenade on the lawn, the labyrinth, and the flower•garden, was abandoned. At two o'clock the landaus and four, w►th outriders in splendid liveries, formed an uninterrupted cavalcade from the lower part of Kentish Town to the great gates leading to the Holly Grove, properly so defined from the tnultitnde of trees of that descrip. t►on.--At three o'clock the Commander-in-Chief departed, and he was followed by the Duke of lirellington.—At four o'clock the list stood thus The Prince Leopold.

At 5 o'clock, the visitants, after promenading on the gravel walks, or lounging over the fanciful Chinese verandas, pro ceeded to the tables whereon the dejeune was set out, in the house, and under a canopy, or more properly speaking, in a kind of Italian Pavilion. Here was a long table, of great extent, covered with every delicacy, cold, except turtle soups; and to prove the munificence which prevailed, one hundred quarts were provided. All sorts of fruit in the highest perfection ; the wines were of every description.— At six o'clock, the rain still occasionally falling, the idea of the dance, in the great marquee at the declivity of the bill, was abandoned. The French band were directed to prepare their instruments and assemble in the Italian Pavilion. The tables, consequently, disappeared in a trice.—[ Further particulars to morrow. THE LOUNTESS OF SEFTON'S SECOND FETE Excelled even the first both in splendour, comfort, and variety. The dancing did not commence till midnight, when three sets of Quadrillers took place.

The Marquis of Hertford gave his flrst grand Dinner at his fine mansion, in Piccadilly, on Sunday. The guests were of the highest consideration in the country, and the entertain ment corresponded with the delicate anti refined taste of the Noble Marquis, who, on these occasions, far excels all compe titors in the nicety anti chaste selection of his viands. The splendour of the furniture, and the extreme beauty anti gran. deur of the decorations of the interior of this princely palace are not inferior even to Northumberland Muse. The Marquis and Marchioness of Lansdown gave an elegant entertainment on Monday to the Marquis and Marchioness Durazzo, Earl and Countess Morley, Lord and Lady Belgrave, Lord Auckland, Mr. and Lady B. Ponsonby, and a large party, at Lansdown-house, Berkeley-square. GRAND AQUATIC ENTERTAINMENT.

JUDGMINT..--.-THIE KING V. .IPOSZPII COHEN. Mr. ANDREWS prayed the judgment of the Court upon this defendant, for an assault. It appeared the parties are of the persuasion of Jews, and carry on business as clothes salesmen in Holy well-lane, Shoreditch. The assault com plained of was committed by the defendant on one Mordecai, while he was engaged with a fair customer, when the defondaut crossed the road, and endeavoured to take the plaintiff's customer away from the shop, which creati►►g a great dis turbance, an indictment was preferred, when the Jury found the defendant Guilty. Mr. Justice BAYLEY, after censuring the defendant for his conduct, sentenced him to pay a tine of 101. to the King, and enter into securities for three years, himself in 501. anti two sureties of 451. each. TIM KING V. VINCNAN AND CHARLOTTE COOPER.. These defendants appeared to receive the judg ment of the Court for an aggravated assault upon a poor woman.—The COUYT, after hearing the evidence read, and the Learned Counsel for and against the defendants, William Fincham was or dered to pay a fine of 101., and give sureties for three years, himself in 1001. and two Xsl. each— that Charlotte Cooper pay a fine of 51., and find two sureties for three years in 251. each. SUNDAY VANS. Mr. Jos** wished to have an indictment re moved by certiorari, from York to the Ling's Bench, of the following nature :—The indict ment was preferred against the Proprietor of a Fly Van, for doing business ou the Sabbe►th-day. The vehicle in question, according to the Act of Parliament, was not within its meaning any more than mail-coaches. Mr. Justice BAYIAT tald, mail-coaches did not carry goods for common hire, they being ill the service of Govarnmant. Mr. Joass.—Thay carry goods, and are the property of those who contract with Govern ment. Mr. Justice BAYLTY.—They do not carry the goods only, but the fly vans carry goods solely. Mr. Joints said all other coaches and stages did thy same. He merely wished to have the point argued, whether vans came within the meaning of the Act. The - COUKT decided that they did come within the operation, and refused the appli cation. MZEICANTILI SHIPPING.
