Ti IE SUN. SOLEN QUIs DICERE FALSUM A ÜbE,AT LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, MARCIIIB, IS5* An Express arrived this morning from Paris, by which we have received the Moniteur of Wednesday. It does not contain any news what ever. Private letters brought by the same con veyance state, that the Law of Indemnity has Passed the Chamber of Deputies. The Rentes declined on Wednesday to 103 f. 20c. for money, and 103 f. 40c. for the end of the month. By Private Letters from Paris, dated Tuesday e vening, we learn that Prince de METTERNICH is acc ompanied only by one Secretary and a Physi ci4u, and that the arrival of this Austrian States man at Paris has put the whole Diplomatic Body In motion. On Monday the Ambassadors of Austri a , Russia, and Prussia met at the hotel of th e Baron de DAmAs, French Minister for Fo -1;lRu Affairs ; and, after the conference was b roken up, the Russian Ambassador, Count ozzo DI BORGO, paid a visit to Prince de MET IRUIED. Several other Ambassadors and Minis ters Pletiii•otootli,r 7 were also received by hi s k i g il ness. On Tuesday the S e creta r y o f th e us siali Embassy quitted Paris for St. Peters- bu r g, and two extraordinary couriers were dis- Pilt elled by the French Minister for Foreign Al 4.%airs, one to St. Petersburg, and the other to "ustantinople. The bustle and activity pro duced in the Diplomatic Body by the Prince de "lETTERNIcti's arrival have given rise to a variety of r umours in the political circles at Paris. They : i re ) 110Wever, founded on mer e c on j ec t ure; b u t le ex traordinary agitation above referred to ren der 3 • i t it next to certain that the visit of his c rOates to some i m p or t ant o bj ect , r °u nected w i t h the policy of the Holy Al t Itti ce• Th e E toile, dated Tuesday, an ii"uEed th at the Emperor of A USTRIA b a d ri vited the new King of NAPLES to meet his Im 13erial MAJEsTr at Milan, which invitation had I:een eagerly accepted; but it appears by the an ted articl e that his Neapolitan MAJESTY has fRIBY declined the honour of the proposed con-I p. e nce, and i s very urgent in his app l lications for r. n e removal of the Austrian troops f rom hi s ter tories. It is- man if est that the new Monarch is determined to . avoid the trammels of th e 11 0 l Allian ce y and a privat e letter from Paris mentions a very remarkable instance of his liberal feeling and of his resolution to rely upon the affection and loyalty of his subjects for the protection of his throne and dominions. By an Ordinance of the Bth February, says our Correspondent, his Nea politan MAJESTY has caused to be released from prison all those who were condemned for any offences except robbery, in which gracious pardon are consequently included his MAJ ESTY'S former friends, who introduced the Constitutional Go vernment into Naples. NAPLES, FEB. 24. Count Appony, Ambassador Extraordinary of his Majesty the Emperor of Austria to the Holy See,..commissioned to com pliment our King on the occasion of his accession to the throne, set out from this capital yesterday to return to his august master. Our Monarch has taken this opportunity to send an autograph letter to the Emperor of Austria, in answer to the one he has received, and which contained protestations of perfect friend ship, and also an invitation for him to come to Milan, in order to confer with the Emperor. His Majesty the King, in assur ing the Emperor how extremely agreeable this invitation was to him, replied, that he would with great pleasure come to Milan, if the mass of affairs, with which he was occupied at the beginning of his reign, would permit him. A Dutch Mail arrived last night, bringing Ger man Papers, from which we give the following extracts:— FRANKFORT, MARCH 12. The Journal of this City contains the following extract of a letter from J:tssy of the 20th of February : " The renewal of the diplomatic relations between the Impe. rial Court of Russia and the Ottoman Porte begins to produce salutary effects. The Boyards who were confined in the for tresses have been long since set at liberty. Several Greek Fan ariot families, who ever since the beginning of the revolution have languished in exile in Asia, have received permission to Mum to their homes. Of this number is the young and rich Moldavian Boyard, Constantine Palladi Ilogdar, son in law of the late Prince Charles Callimachi, who, after having shared all the Vicissitudes of that unfortunate family, and lost his wife in exile, has also recovered his liberty." A Tartar sent from Salonichi to Belgrade has lately arrived here without haring met with any hindrance. It is thence in fered that tranquillity is restored in Servia. There are no recent accounts from the Morea, but there are reasons for believing that the news of the surrender of Patra.s to the Greeks, received by way of Venice, is ill-founded. AMSTERDAM, MARCH 15. Exchange on London, 39 8; two months, 39 6. The Allgemeine Zcilung of the 11th instant contains an article from Constantinople of the 10th February, by which it appears that, so far from the discovery of the late conspiracy against the SULTAN, and the execution of the ring leaders, having appeased the discontents of the Janissaries and of the inhabitants of the capital, it has rather increased them, and the people openly give utterance to their feelings of dissa• tisfaction. The situation of the provinces is said to b e equally alarming. OMER. VIZIONI has informed the Porte that he has been compelled to abandon all his positions on account of the mutinous disposition of his troops ; but the Ottoman Government consider this representa tion as an idle excuse for not obeying the orders of th e Sur,TAN to take an advanced position ; and th e doubtful conduct of this Chieftain in connec tion with the well known fact that the Greeks ar e making active and formidable preparations. particularly in the naval department, for a new campaign, have inspired the Divan with serious alarm. The negociation with the Danish Charge d'Affaires at Constantinople, relative to the free navigation of the Black Sea, is again at hand. The King of NAPLES has accredited the Duke de CAVELLO as his Minister Plenipotentiary to the Swiss Confederation, and given him orders to conclude conventions with those Cantons which are willing to adhere to the capitulations agreed to by LUCERNE. His MAJESTY regrets that he cannot grant to Switzerland greater commercial advantages than it has already okained, without affecting the honour of his Crown and the inte rest of his dominions.—(Paris Paper.) The Queen of SPAIN has conferred the Grand Cordon of the Royal Order of Maria Louisa upon the Princess do TA LLEYRAND-PERIGORD, as a memorial of regard for the manner in which she contributed to lighten the captivity of his Majesty FJ DIN AND VII. during his abode in the Castle of Valencay. A great many comtnercial letters, received by the post of March 4 at Stockholm from Russia, bring the authentic, and at the same time remark able news that orders hakve been received from England in all the Russian Ports in the Baltic, for the purchase of great quantities of Russian goods, larger than can be remembered for many years.—(Nuremberg Correspondent, March 10.) The garrison of the island of Zante and the Civil Officers have given two days pay for the . relief of the sufferers by the earthquake at Santa Maria. The private contributions throughout the lonian Islands have been also very liberal. The Carlow Morning Post says, " We believe we anticipate every bum journal in the following authentic intelligence :—The Archbishops are to have an annuity from the Government of 1,5001., the Bishops 1,0001., and the Parish Priests 3001. each." PEASANTRY MEETING.—A meeting was held this morning at the CrOwn and Anchor Tavern, Strand, for the purpose of taking into consideration the best means of ameliorating the condition of the Irish peasantry of Ireland. Sir T. Essforun in the Chair. The meeting was not numerously attended. Mr. O'CoNNELL, and other eminent persons were present. Several Re solutions in support of the object were carried and after several speeches in support of the object for which they met the Meeting broke up. PRUSSIAN LOAN, NEGOCIATED BY MR. N. M.

Professor Turton, in aid of the old Charity Schools in this town, a m oun t e d to 32/. 11 s. 6d. The collection for the Benevolent Society, after a sermon by the Rev. T. Edmonds, at the meeting-house in St. Andrew's street, on Sunday afternoon, amounted to 301. ss. 3d. DRURY-LA)LE TgEATRE.—Mr. K ERN did not " represent one of SHAKSPEARE'S heroes " last night, but his Hamlet, " The glass of fashion and the mould of form," for which he is cer tainly just as well qualified. The novelty of the night was Miss GaAnnos in Ophelia. The songs were well given, hut it requires more theatrical practice to render adequate justice to " Ophelia, the young, the beautiful, the harmless, and the pious," to use the words of JOHNSON, HARMONIC THEATRE, CATHERINE-STREET.— The Tragedy of Macbeth was last night repre sented at this Theatre. Mr. ALLEN, an Ama teur Performer, acquitted himself creditably in the bloody Thane, and the rest of the charac ters, considering thew as ' unsifted hi such matters," came off tolerably well.—The Farce was The Irish Tutor, and a Mr. WALLIS dis played considerable humour in the blundering Pedagogue. ARGYLL ROOMS.—NVe hardly ever remember such an overflow of visitors as attended the third Concert of Nladarne CATALA N I last night. The very avenues to the Music Room were crowded:. The Syret , herself displayed4 -- all her astonishing powers in full force through'six songs, and gave " God save the King " and " Rule Britannia " not - ottLv , with musical.and martial energy, but with ati'lieroic gesture that animated the whole company - With patriotic ardour. SAPID and Mrs. SALmqx ably distinguished themselves. Mr. Voot, first Oboe to Ring, cif . France, ad mirably exerted himself on that instrument, and was warmly applauded. Boyar. ACADEMY or Nlostc.—A Concert for the benefit of this Institution is, we understand, to take place on the 25th instant, at the Hanoaer square Rooms, by permission of the Directors of the Concerts of Ancient Music. His MAJESTY and most of the Royal- Family patronize this Institution, and the progress_ of the Pupils, by all accounts, sanction the Establishment. • The best Performers, Vocal and Instrumental, who have been reared in THE A will of course he brought forward on the occasion, and we have reason to believe that their respeCtive merits will demonstrate its efficient utility. EDINBURGH THEATRE.—Mr. YOUNG com menced a short engagement here on Saturday evening. He performed the part of lago to Mr. VANDENHoFF's Othello, while the gentle Des demona WPM personated by Mrs. H. SinooNs.— The whole performance ;was applauded to the echo. The house was crowded at Erst prices.— (Caledonian IlercurN.) Mr. linsroN, of Edgerley, who- had gone to see Mr. Wombwell's • collection, .9 f wiid beasts, then exhibit ing in this town had the temerity to take hold of one of the panthers by the nose and stroke his face. Not • content with doing this once, he went to a friend in another part of the show, for the - purpose of exhibiting to him the friendly terms he was upon with th e animal, and a second time took hold of his nose, when the panther instantly seized him by the arm, and it was not without great difficulty he was liberated, by the owner ramming a large stick down the throat of the panther, which in a moment caught his other arm with his claws, the motto of which were forcibly im pressed thereon, whilst the arm that was in its mouth is very tutich lacerated.—( Saloplan Joicrnal. ) • FANATIctsm.—A t . Lancaster Assizes, on Mon day, 11. Lee stood charged with killing D. Grim:thaw, a child of 15 days old. A sect calT4tl the Johannahites, disciples of Johanna Southcote, had lately increased greatly in that county, and particularly near Ashton -under-Line. All the sect had adopted the Jewish rite of circumcision. The children belonging to the sect were circumcised on the eighth day after birth. During the ceremony music was performed in a gar ret, called a chapel, where the circumcision took place.— The child, whose death formed the subject of inquiry, was circumcised by the prisoner; and inconsequence of the wound. the infant died. Prisoner was the circumcisor of the sect.— A hollow piece of metal was used to prevent too much from being cut off; a knife and scissors were also used. When the incision was made a cobwebb was applied to stop the blood, and over thia•was , placed a linen rag. The child was born on the 9th of September, it was circumcised on the 16th, and it died on the 234, from a mortification which took place in the wounded part. After some evidence had been given the Counsel for the prosecution stopped the case, observing that the only object was to put down an illegal practice. Mr. Justice Bayley said, "It is right that the public should know that this practice is not legal with respect to children, and that they should understand - that this indictment goes oft only because it is not properly framed as to the description of the means of death. "—The Jury, under his Lordship's di rection, acquitted the prisoner. • DEATH FROM EXCESSI VE DRINKING.—An Inquisition was yesterday . evening taken before Sir. Shelton, at St. Bartholomew's Hospital , on the body of Dennis Macarthy, who, it appeared, was brought into this Hospital, on Monday evening by some persons who found him in the Street in a state totell who lie and where be w l 1 . D d i i . o had k l s e of stupefaction from liquor. He was. immediately put to bed, was, and the newly-invented stomach syringe put in requisition, by means of which upwards of a quart of ardent sp ir i ts were ex tracted from his stomach. The next day he recovered so far as in the course diedat l k t ie thati N ) o i die I r t e a c d t evidence was obtained, as to where he he dtleen drinking ; but of the day, from the effects of there appeared reason to believe tht had been engaged un loading a vessel at the West I ndia . rum to which he thereby obtained drank immoderately of the ( • access. Three other men, who were engaged with him t debauch,, were said to have since died. V erdict—" Died from I excessive Drinking," EAST INDIA HOUSE. At eleven o'clock this forenoon the balloting was commenced at the Company's llouse, in Leadenhall-street, on the following question, VIZ.:-- " That this Court having taken into its consideration the papers printed in pursuance of its order of the 3d of March last, relating to the pecuniary transactions of the house of Messrs. William Palmer and Co., at Hyderabad' with the Government of his Highness the Nizam, is of opinion that there is no ground for imputing corrupt motives to the late Governor-General of India, the Most Noble the Marquis of Hastings, K.G., or to any Member of the Bengal Government; at the same time this Court feels called upon, to record its approval of the political dispatches to the Bengal Government, under date the 24th May, 1820, 2flth November, 1821, 9th April, 1823, and 21st January, 1824." The interest excited by the question has been unusually great ; and, in the course of the morn• ing, a great number of proprietors have attended, and given their votes pro and con. The result will not be ascertained till six o'clock this even ing, at which hour the glasses will be closed and the numbers announced. COLONEL BERKELEY. As we yesterday gave an account of the recent fracas at Cheltenham, taken from the Cheltenham Journal, it is but justice to give the statement from the opposite Party, taken from the Chelten ham Chronicle. We shall forbear all comment on the c e c v : e i s l i o o p n e , d :: sa and of c a o t u t e r r s e w b i l e l c o l co d tu ou e b t t l l l e e ssle farther sub ject of legal inquiry. On Monday, March 14, on reading a paragraph inserted in the Cheltenham Journal of that day, Colonel Berkeley ob served to two of his friends, that the scurrilous remarks which had been made on the Berkeley Hunt Ball; reflecting in the most unjustifiable manner upon the ladies who had honoured it with their presence, and the repetition of such remarks in the publication of that morning, were a source of so much vexation and 'annoyance to him, that he could not patiently submit to the conduct of the editor any longer—that as far as he him self had been calumniated and reviled, he disregarded their as persions, but that the insult offered so directly to the ladies must be atoned for—that the repetition of the attack on the subject of the ball was the more inexcusable, as he, Colonel Berkeley, had hoped, that after the correct and unimpeachable state ment which had appeared in the Cheltenham Chronicle of March 3, he, Mr. Judge, would have admitted his error, or at the least, would not have resumed such remarks as he must well know were calculated to offend, and to provoke a breach of the peace; but that in the paper which he then held in his hand, the insult was not only repeated, but aggravated ; and that he was determined to call on Mr. Judge for some explana. tion. Colonel Berkeley accordingly requested his two friends to accompany him, and to witness any transaction which might occur. They complied with his request; and understanding that Mr. Judge resided in North -street, they far a very long time paraded that street, as well as Albion-street and Port land-street, in the hope of meeting him in public view._ HHaving waited without success, they ascertained that Mr. Judge was at his lodgings, and that they accordingly repaired there. On entering the room in which Mr. Judge was, Colonel Berke ley said, " Mr. Judge, I must request to know the au. thor of the foul calumnies which have appeared in your paper, on me particularly, and on my friends generally. Mr. Judge replied, " Whom have I the honour of address ing ?"—Colonel Berkeley answered, " lam Colonel Berke ley." Mr. Judge then observed, that he should be happy to meet him at the office and explain. Colonel Berkeley said, " No, the present time must • furnish the information, and in this place." Mr. Judge declined making any answer; when Colonel Berkeley took him by the collar with his left hind, and with his right inflicted a severe chastisement with a hand-whip, to which Mr. Judge offered no resistance, except by kicking and screaming " Murder ! for God's sake let me go !" and similar expressions of great pain. During the whole correction no person approached or touched Mr. Judge, except Colonel Berkeley, and some of the servants who came to his, Mr. Judge's, assistance. Bow-ST EET.—(This Day.)-11enry Thurtell, the brother of John Thurtell, who was executed for the murder of Mr. WEARE, was this day charged with a robbery in . Shoe-lane. The pri soner was taken into custody in James-street, Covent-garden, last night, by Wilson the officer; but the gentleman who gave the prisoner in charge not being in attendance, he was remanded, and the officer sent to fetch him. SOCIETY OF FRIENDS OF FOREIGNERS IN DISTRESS.— Yesterday the Annual Meeting of this Society took place at the City of London Tavern, SAMUEL WEST, Esq., in the Chair. The Chairman congratulated the Meeting upon the great encouragement and support which the Society met with from the liberality of British and Foreign contributors, who had enabled the Institution to extend its benefits. The report was then read. It gave a most gratifying a;:count of the state and operations of the Institution. The collection last year amounted to 1,188/. 12s. ; and in consequence of the libera lity of the contributions, the Board, instead of encroaching as in former years upon the permanent fund, was enabled to assist the charity, by purchasing 2201. stock, in the 3 per Cent. Con sols ; and the Committee had been administering relief without being compelled to have recourse to former measures. After enumerating some legacies, left by three gentle Men lately de ceased, the report stated, that during the year, 50 pensioners, whose characters were unexceptionable, and poverty was ex treme, were supported. The visitors who went about to the habitations of the wretched with relief, met with the blessings of those who were saved from starvation, and whose condition would, but for this Society, be unknown and unrelieved. The number of pensioners would be increased to 55, by which augmentation the Society would be at a regular and unavoidable expence of 5001., a sum larger than the amount of the subscriptions. The casual relief at the weekly sittings was very great. It was evident that great distress must exist amongst those who had no claim, parochial or otherwise, as British subjects. Applications were constantly making, and within the year relief has been granted in 1,639 instances. "It is not," said the report, " in the power of tongue to tell the sew rows which the timely help of the Society has comforted, the tears it has dried up, the miseries it has relieved, and the miseries it has prevented." Besides assisting industrious poor mechanics, whose tools had been pawned for their support, the Society had assisted 83 distressed foreigners to return to their native homes.—(Loud applause.)—The report was then unani tneudy agreed to, and the members proceeded to ballot for the candidates for its advantages. ST. PATRIC'S DAY.—Yesterday beintr; the fes tival of St. Patrick, the Apostle of Ireland, Divine Service was performed with an unusual degree of splendour, at the Ca tholic Chapel, Sutton-street, Soho. High mass commenced at eleven o'clock ; but a considerable time before that hour every avenue to the Chapel was completely blockaded. The Most Reverend Dr. Curtis, R. C. Archbishop of Armagh, and Pri mate of all Ireland, officiated at the altar on the occasion ; he was attended by the English Bishops, Drs. Poynter and Bramston ' • and by the chaplains, the Rev. Messrs. Norris, Spain, and Kelly ; Dr. Murray, and the other Irish Bishops now in London, were also present. The music,' Which was chiefly Haydn's, was executed in a masterly manner, by a very full choir and an excellent instrumental band, in which the trumpet and kettle-drums were heard in that lofty building to very great advantage. The sermon was preached by the Right Rev. Dr. Poynter, and a handsome collection; afterwards made for the support of the establishment. MERCANTILE SHIPPING.

DART, Secretary SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. STAG HUNT. BRIGHTON, MARCH 16.—The names given to the !flirt of stags, for the exercise of our subscription pack of harriers, pro cured from the p ar k o f th e E ar l o f • De r by, are Robin flood' and Little John. Little John, for the first time, was turned out on Monday at Knight's Rails, in the vicinity of the !NNW,' Dyke, to a numerous field of horse and foot, including Lon' Normanton with the former, and other titled and distinguished sportsmen. Little John, like his predecessor Robin, on Thurs day, did not, at first, appear inclined to desert such an assem blage of agreeable company as was there to greet bim, nor did he until their manner had assumed an hostility towards him, in nowise equivocal, when he took to his heals to save his veni son tiom farther insults. His route was a circuitous one, but all irr the open country ;_ the weald heavoid t d, and sn u ffi ng th e breeze, seemed to re gar d it as much to be preferred to the com parative density of that which skimmed and cooled • the low lands. After a beautiful burst, and a. lapse of forty minutes, he reached the Lodge House of the Earl of Chic/femme*. Parjt, on the ',ewes road, which he tcok tt:e liberty of enterih4, but being dislodged, he ascended by means of a low shed' the parkwall, and looked as resolutely bent to maintain an elevated; position there. A husbandman, at length, mounted the wall also, but John, after bestowing a few kicks in answer to the lashia he received from 'a long carter's whip, all of which fell short of their object, contrived to turn himself about, anti was proceeding to butt his assailant,'who, not altogether relishing. such a mode of warfare, like an experienced soldier, when overmatched, re treated, to avoid, a more signal defeat and mischief. From. the wall to the turnpike, John, however, was at last compelled toy descend, when, keeping close to the Park fence, he readied its south-east angle, turned .it briskly, and .stood for_tbe downs, near the toll-gate on the Ditchling road; on being headed by a posse of horsemen, he turned short to the • right, made a leap at the _park inclosure and cleared it, and a beau-, tiful run in the Park followed. Jolia, hard pressed once more essayed to find refuge, and his former friend in nee4.the Park Lodge, being discernible,' he pUshed fbr it, and a second time became its occupant, at the end of about .35 minutes from his previously reluctantly submitted to ejectment. •Iri the . Lodge it was then considered prudent:. to leave him, to recover from his fatigue, his carriage, in the interim, having been' or dered, to convey him back, with all possible care anti respect to his appointed residence. The chase,. altogether, 'affor4ed great interest ; and accidents were by no means so rife *one the former occasion. , THE MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE, Maack 18. The arrivals of all sorts' of.
