QUIV DICERE FALSUM AUDEAT LONDON, ?TUESDAY AUGUST 3, 1824 We have received the Paris Papers of Satur day and the Etoile of Sunday ) and have given txtraus from them Ti in our preceding columns. "V contain nothing of any importance, except that there has b een a further, decline of the , 1 1:i"ell funds, W h ic h is attributed to rumours of i! } iturh ait cps in Sp a i n, b ut has more probably eee iticel r a occasioned b yprevalent idea that th e po i elati ons of Europe are far from presenting ntlicationt of settled and permanent reose.

We have received advices from Trinidad to the middle of June ; all was then tranquil ; hut although the Planters apprehended no violent or sudden catastrophe from the operation of the Order in Council, for regulating the employment and treatment of the Slaves, they continued to be of opinion that the measure must prove highly injurious to the Colony. The following is the only article of intelligence worth inserting : PORT or SPAIN, JUNE 3.—At a meeting of the Com inittee appointed on the 14th of May last, held this day, the following Resolution was proposed and adopted : " Resolved,—That as by the vigilance of his Majesty's Go vernment, and the imposing appearance of the regular and militia forces, any overwhelming catastrophe arising from re laxation of discipline, and the excitement of unwarrantable ex. pectations in the ignorant minds of the slave population, which must come from the enactment of the late Order in Council, may, under the blessing of Providence, be averted, and the Colony be subjected only to slow and lingering ruin, which will not be less oppressive and sure, because exhibited in vexa tious detail ; this Committee are of opinion, that the inhabi tants should be invited to transmit to the Chairman of this Board in Port of Spain, a statement of every case in which they might find themselves in any degree sufferers by loss of time, labour, or otherwise, under the enactments of the aforesaid order; and that it be recommended that such statements be clear, concise, touching upon facts, avoiding, as much as pos sible, expressions of opinion, end to give them additional weight, and to render them useful for the ulterior purposes for which they areintended ; that they be attested by other respect. able inhabitants in their vicinity, and sworn to, where practi cable, before the Commandant of the quarter, or Alcalde of the barrier, in which the deponent may reside." The inhabitants of this Colony are hereby earnestly request ed to comply with the recommendations therein contained. JAMES CADETT, Chairman. Sum CAPTAIN PARRY'S EXPEDITION. Letters from Captain PARRY were received this day, dated the 2d July, at the entrance to Barrow's Straits—all well, and full of sanguine expectations. A letter from Zante, of the 21st of June, states, that an act of treason had occurred at Missolonghi, which at one time threatened the most dangerous consequences. It appears that Caralcystos, one of the Governors of the city, had agreed to deliver it up to Jussuf Paclia , who was to march 3,000 Turks towards the fortress. Ihe correspondence containing the plot was "ized by a post of Greeks, and forwarded to Prince Nllivrocordato, who took measures to pre vent its execution. The Turks marched, but were met and defeated, and Caralcystos is stated to have been put in irons. The Prince of SAxe.-Conounc, son-in-law to the King of E NGL AN D , bus shown a r emar k a bl e instance of generosity towards R 088.1 1 ,41. The custom 5i4m.0..a...i...e 4 .4 UAL never to go to any musical soires a ftr9 tl eN l T:ri guineas. He three times presided over concerts for the Prince, for which his Highness sent him 500 guineas and a diamond pin.—(French Paper.) HIS GRACE THE ARCHBISHOP OP DUBLIN.—In answer to the inquiries at the Palace yesterday (Thursday, 29th ult.) it was stated that the Archbishop had passed a feverish night, but was much easier yesterday, and, on the whole, was in as fair a way of recovery as the nature of in jury he had sustained would admit of.—(Dublin Freeman's Journal.) 'SWITZERLAND, JULY 20.—We lately mentioned the danger with which•an apprehended fall of part of a mountain Threatened the valley of Lowertz, in the Canton of Schuytz.— The latest accounts serve to confirm these fears. This time also it is a part of the Rufsberg which is on the point of falling ; large rents are observed in it, and within a few days they have begun to spread, and a part of the mountain already begins to detach itself. The fall will probably take place in the direction of the village of Golden. Several of the stran gers who are now travelling through Switzerland, have ar rived in the neighbourhood of Goldau to witness the fall of the mountain. _ _ By a letter received from the Island of Ascen sion, dated the 31st of May, the Garrison were all well, and Lieutenant AITCHESON, of the Marine Artillery, who, on hearing of the late disastrous affair at Cape Coast, had handsomely volunteered his services, was to sail that day, with a detachment of that corps, on board H. M. sloop Victor, Capt. SCOTT, for Cape Coast. A letter from the West Riding of Yorkshire says—" The Corn harvest has already begun. A fine field of oats was cut a few days ago between llowden and Selby; and every where, in fact, the Corn crops are advancing rapidly towards muturity ; the wheat in particular seems to be much benefited by the sine summer weather, which is quite of the old-fashioned kind. The Hay crop has been gathered in such excellent condition that it will yield double the nutriment of the same quantity of hay in a rainy season." An intelligent Lecturer lately stated, that he had good reason to believe, that at this time 12,000 steam engines are in activity in Great Britain. LARMING FlRE.—Between the hours of one and two o'clock this morning, the neighbourhood of Union -street, Southwark, was thrown into considerable alarm in consequence of a fire breaking out in the house of Mr. lloncEs, an oil and colourman, which proceeded from the lower part of the premises, and burnt with such rapidity, that the inmates had scarcely time to get out of the destructive dwelling, before the whole was one entire blaze. The flames next communicated to the house of a grocer, named Dobbison, owing to there being no party wall, which also fell a prey to the devouring element. A number of en gines speedily arrived on the spot, but owing to a scarcity of water, the two houses were com iiietely gutted before the devastation subsided. We are happy to state, no lives were lost. The premises are insured in the County Fire Office. THE KING. WINDSOR, AUGUST 2.—This day the weather, which was lowered yesterday, having become remarkably fine, his MAJESTY, with his usual attendants, took an airing of consi derable length in Windsor Great Park. A rumour having been circulated in London, during the course of the last week that his Majesty had experienced another slight attack of ill ness, it gives us the greatest pleasure confidently to state tha it had not the smallest foundation. His Majesty looks remark t .. ably well, and has for some time past been rapidly acquiring strength. i J .co . 0 .. , 3 4154 '•- V s iTi ' I , • Pr 1 0 1 e.l ~,:!:".. : .. 7 t7 ,fetf .

DREADFUL. OUTRAGE IN IRELAND. (From the Liverpool Alfercur,y.) We have been waited upon by a gentleman, from whom we have received information concerning an outrage of so dreadful a description that we cannot readilygive credit to it, especially as the Irish press Is entirely silent on the subject.— However, as we are in possession of the name and address of an individual who states that he witnessed the scene described, we shall briefly state the circumstances, in order that they may be contradicted if false or exaggerated. For obvious reasons, we omit the name of the :Magistrate who is reported to have had the principal share in the transaction. The following is an extract from the letter :—" I have anxiously waited fur the last few , weeks, in the hope of seeing some account in the public Journals respecting an affray which took place at Timpo Fair, near Enniskillen, in the county of Fermanagh, Ireland, on the lilth of June last, between at length th.: w - nre reporreatti have been killed • the Ribandmen and Orangemen of that quarter; to quell which the 34th Regiment of Foot were called in, under the :;)1' Fern] :magi I, R ibandmen, accompanied by drover of Vetre! doorsat T children. too t k i_ shelter i g n aN t ,e he on e le a r t s h i o o li i muss, women, and * broke open, wipe, when Sir J and every soul, in endeavouring to escape, was either shot or stabbed ; the Church was then pillaged, and afterwards set on tire ! " Liverpool, July 10, 1824." KALstormrrrit.—This celebrated Performer on the Pianoforte recently visited Bristol on his way to Ireland, and it is understood that he means to proceed to Scotland. lie has acquired an independent fortune by the exertion of his talents, and as those talents are superior to those of any other performer on the same instrument who has appeared in those countries, he will doubtless experience that favourable reception to which he is well entitled by his admirable ge nius and gentlemanly conduct. CURE FOR THE BITE OF MAD Doo3.—Dr. HELLER, Member of the Royal Academy of Medicine, Paris, communicated to this Society on the 27th of this month, that in Greece it is a practice to observe the tongues of those persons dogs,because at the there appear on each en wh o of havee igh t e e o n r b n i i t n t e e n d a b y y s side of the tongue, and near the under part, pus tules, called lyssh by the Greeks. These pus tules contain the whole rabid matter, and imme diately they appear they are cut out and the wounds cauterised, which prevents hydrophobia. This circumstance has been also recently, oh. served in France, and merits attention.—(Jour nal des Debate.) Letters to and from London and Harrow, com mencing this day, will be conveyed by the Two penny instead of the General Yost; there K ill be two deliveries daily at each place, and letters from Harrow to all parts of England, by this ar rangement, will be forwarded the same evening from town. This is announced only as an expe riment ; but the evident utility will, no doubt, confirm its establishment, not only in regard to Harrow, hut to other places, the same distance from the Metropolis, to which it is desirable that this advantageous improvement should be ex tended. _ _ _ _ On Sunday afternoon, as Colonel DUNGANNON was riding a fine spirited horse on the sands at Ramsgate, the animal suddenly took fright, and resisting all controul of the rider, violently plunged Into the sea. Both horse and rider were soon afloat. As the horse continued to swim from the shore, the Colonel disengaged himself from the animal. In this situation, the Colonel swam towards the shore, which he reached quite ex hausted. Two ladies who were walking, and saw the accident, fainted away ; a nd the greates t anxiety was evinced for the Gall ant Officer's safety. The horse swath ashor e, and was not stopped till it reached Broadstairs. SPORTING- INTELLIGENCE. STATE OF THE ODDS.—BETTING.IIOO3I, At:o. 2.
