TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. APRIL 9, 1831. SIR,-1 beg to hand you the following rarticulara of , he late disturbances of this city, and which, should this vessel be first to arrive in England, may prove accept:ldr to your Journal. I give you the rough facts, leaving you to arrange then in what manner and language you please; and for this purpose, and as well to lead to the abdication of his Im perial Majesty Don Pedro 1., I must carry you back for some little time: It is now rather more than three months since their Imperial 'Majesties, the Emperor and Empress of Brazils, left this city on .a journey to the province of Minas Geraee, as well for the benefit of a change of air as f, tr political pur poses ; and visited all the principal cities and towns, where in every case they were most cordially received by the in habitants, and every attention to their Maj ,, sties' comfort, which it was the duty and not less the peculiar pleasnre of the loyal inhabitants of Minas Get aes to pay, had been rendered. Their Imperial:Majesties expressed themselves in the highest degree pleased with their reception, and -by their urbanity of manner and condee ending affability, de ligh'ed those who hat done all they colild to assist and further tiro neeit arranged attentions :or the comfort of their Majesties. N.tr were the English residents in those districts behind the natives in their demonstration of re spect, and so much pleased were their Majesties with the attention of the English, that the Imperial pair were guests for a night and day at the private house of an Englishman, residing at his own mine, and who since that period has been honoured by the Emperor with :the presentation of the Imperial Order of the Rose. Anticipating their re turn to the city, many of the most respectable inhabitants went about to the resident merchants collecting sums of money' for the purpose of publicly celebrating, and show ing due honour to their Majesties' safe arrival at the capi tal. Public illuminations for three nights took place, and a sp7endid display of fireworks was exhibited on the second evening, when tasteful devices were arranged, with the initials of their Majesties entwined, and every method taken apparently to show respect to their august persons. Dur ing th e a b sence o f t h e E mperor a p ar ty h a d formed, calling themselves " Federalists," at the head of which were one or more personages of distinction, who kept in the back ground, hut supplied the party with money, &c. Atter inflaming the minds of the people by inserting in the • op position Journals sentiments uncongeni'al to this, and, in deed, to every good form of Government, and endeavour ing to work upon the sensibilities of the inhabitants, not only by misrepresentations of circumstances, but by asser tions of ftlsehoocl, (one of the inflammatory pipers, if no!. actually belonging to the head of this party, it is pretty certain it was in its pay), they seized the opportunity of fered by this public nights, to commence disturbances, and some few skirmishes took place, two or three were killed and some wounded. Among the latter who wete taken to the public hospital, were chiefly mulattos, and they did not hesitate to say, that " these," speaking:of their brok-n heals, " are all I have got for sir milireis, which were given me to cry Viva a Federagao.'" The then activity and loyalty of the poice and soldiery, pie vented a continuance of these disorders, and we were led to believe, from the Federalist party getting the worst of it, and the apparent tranquillity which reigned fora few days, that all disquiet was at an end. But this time was made use of to bring the soldiery over to the other party, and with troops like those in this service there would not be much difficulty in so doing ; the Emperor having dis banded his foreign troops (German) some months since. Treachery was at work, fir a berjamao (a kissing of hands) took place at the Imperial Palace, on account of the birth day of Dona Maria da Gloria, when the very men, no doubt, were then arranging means to hurl him from the throne, to whom they bent the knee, and Judas -like, kissed hands. It bating been found necessary to change the Ministry, who had been in office but a few days, the Em peror on Tuesday nominated others, who in their turn nut possessing the confidence of the rebel party, measures were taken by them to render these unpopular, and raising out rages in the streets with their hired mobs, thereby causing the fears of the inhabitants for an insurrection; the soldiery were called out, who paraded the streets day and night, and on Wednesday a great assemblage collected in the Campo d'Acclarnacao, when " Vivas" were given by some for the Emperor and Constitution, and by others for the Federalists. The Emperor's Guard of Honour were in attendance at the Palace of Sr. Christavao, and late in the evening of that day, the mob getting very numerous, cried out for a change of Ministry, which demand being for warded to the Emperor at the Palace, he peremptorily re fused to comply, and after some time the populace becom ing outrageous, the Emperor sent his commands to Ganeral Lima, who had command of the troops, to disperse the people by force, which they one and all refused to do, and at once threw off their allegiance, which being made known to the Emperor, he desired the Foreign Ministers to be sent for, and after consulting them for some time, he de termined to abdicate; leaving the room for a short time, lie returned with his abdication written, and presenting it to the English Minister, requested permission to be received on board one of his Britannic Majesty's ships. ABDICATION. " Using the right granted me by the Constitution, I de clare that I have voluntarily abdicated in favour of my much beloved and only son, Senhor D. Pedro de Alcantara. " Boa Vista, 7th April, 1831, and 10th year of the Independence. (Signed) " PEDRO." Every means of persuasion were used to prevent his ab dication, both by the Foreign as well as his own Ministers, 1 ..:t of an avail, be had come to this determination, and would not alter it, sayibg they were " an ungrateful people." At five o'clock in the morning of Thursday, the Emperor with the Empres , , and Dona Maria da Gloria, embarked from St. Christavao, in the Engli.h Admiral's barge, and were received with every kind of respect on board the British flag ship, accompanied by the Foreign Ministers. The Emperor, on his arrival on board the Warspite, showed no signs of having experienced any re verse, and trod the deck with his usual firmness, but the Empress was much affected. The ten• Emperor, Pedro 11., an infant of five years and four months old, was pro claimed to the soldiery on Thursday, and a Provisional Regency appointed for twenty days, until measures are further adopted by the two Houses of Parliament. The following compose the Regency : Marquez de Caravellas, who had 4O votes. Francisco de Lima Nicolao Pereira de Csinpos Vengueiro 3O who will govern till a definitive Regency be appointed by a general assembly of Senators and Deputies, in full number.

The class of Major Dundas have shown, by their reception of the ccmments on his conduct, that we have not misrepresented their morality. " Member of Broirks's" has taken the Chron.;cle to task for its remarks upon the case. He says— " It is not sorpri.ing that correspondents, who sub scribe themselves ' A F.ither,' and ' A Mother,' should take a partial view of this case; but I confess I did hope that the public press of this country would have guarded itself against the enthusiasm their irritated feelings." And he proceeds to inquire whether Major Dundas may not have been the seduced, instead of the seducer ? though, from the evidence of his com p anion, Mr. Phillips, it is clear that h e b a d mar ked out the girl for ruin before he had exchanged a bun words with her, and der lared his purpose with dis gusting levity. The " Member of I3rookes," who treats with such sovereign contempt the sentiments of that insignificant portion of society coming within the description of fullers and mothers, has yet ideas of honour which compel him to condemn the de ception practised by Major Dundas—" For his false hood I off. , r no excuse; and for this fault I feel that I cannot again look upon him as my friend." And why is it, will he tell us, that falsehood does not come within the sweeping terms of " ungentle manly conduct," fur which military men are amenable to military law ? An officer who obtained goods or money under false pretences, would be dismissed the service for ungentlemanly conduct; and why is the falsehood wlica defrauds a woman of her honour not cognizable under the same clause ? Why, but because the makers and Ministers of the law share in the practice, and also because it would be full of dangerous example to put a sweepingmnrk of infamy on deceit, which is so freely used in the upper works of our system, serial end political. The Chronicle has drawn attention to a beautiful moral distinction taken by the Chief Baron, in his charge on this case. " You have it from his brother officer, Mr. Phillips, that !Awe the 21st of July, Dundas knew her to be the daughter of Dean Adams. He must have made the obser vation the first day he saw her walking with her father, and when, I pre , ume, he was struck with her beauty; it must have led him to inquire into ber connexions. I cannot but bring myself to believe that he knew whose daughter she w is. That is a strong circumstance for an aggravation of damages. If in watering-places, persons pick up on the roads girls of free and liberal conduct, of whom they know nothing, so much blame cannot be at tached to them, as young men, for following up the con nexion. But the matter is different when he knew her tole the daughter of a dignitary of the Church —when he must have known the injury lie must have inflicted upon that gent'eman and his family. I think these things should be taken into consideration in the measure of damages." Upon this our contemporary remarks : " The Chief Baron here indicates pretty plainly, th a t the offence would have been greatly extenuated had the party been lower in society than the daughter of a dignitary of the church. Of course, 'Major Dundas is not such a novice in the ways of the world as to be unaware that the station of the party would at all events give much more notoriety to the offence. Now it strikes us that this disregard of the rank of the father is indicative of a consciousness that he had little to dread from the notoriety. It conveys the severest satire on the laxity of principle of the clam of society, before the ti bunal of which he would have to appear. In the case of an humbler female, lie might mitigate the resentment of the parents by money. In a case of this kind, he could have no such hope. He must, therefore, have been by no means apprehensive as to the effects on his reception in society. No man unnecessarily commits what he sup_ poses will make him au outcast from the society in which he moves." There is one morality for a Dean's daughter ac cording to the Chef Baron, and another for a ple beian's child. Nay, there must be a different mo rality for every difference of degree in clerical rank.. Had this been poor Parson Adams', instead of Dean Adams', daughter, the case would have been almost venial. And when such language as thi. is held from the seat of justice, are we to be surprised that the hearts of the poor are rising in bitterness and wrath against the deli ? The correspondent of the Chronicle whom we have quoted, a member, as he professes to be, of one of the most aristocratic clubs in London, contends that women should have no protection against debauchery, but that of their own honour. He would not even give them the advan tages of game, which must be hunted by qualified persons, and according to certain laws, protecting them against surprises and ambuscades. The law which affords to a careless, or perhaps a base parent, a compensation in money for the loss of a daughter's honour, is, we admit, bad in every re spec-, as it operates in the way of a fine on the seducer ; but a better law would not better satisfy the objeciers, whose real desire is to strip the weak of the little protection that is cast around them. It is the character of our Aristocracy to be perpe tually playing fast and louse with 111(x:inv. When a moral rule interferes with their pleasures, they ask the indulgence of liberality—the letter is too strict —they want room for poor human frailty ; but the next instant, for the purpose of visiting with pnai'•ll - offences and offenders of another order, they will insist on the inflexibility of the moral code, and on no score allow of exceptions to the rigour of its law. Now while they profess the whole code, we insist on their en:ire submission to its 'ldes. They are bound either to obey or to improve. If seduc tion is a joke, a pleasantly, let them pronounce it so, and not uphold a rule which they laugh at in their own order, and use fee punishment when the trail -- gression is by those beneath them. In the very case which gives occasion to these remarks, we see it argued that the vety weakness of the ruined girl was an excuse for her'seduction. The Chronicle remarks upon this shameful plea— " Upon the same principle, the imperfect vision of a shopkeeper might be a Justification of the thief —.-the weakne s s o f a trave l ler, tl:e j ust i f i cat i on o f t h e highwaY robber. If we are to take it for granted t h at men must always b e b rutes, an d that i t is manly an d h ono urable to give a restra i nt to (-very appetite, then we may fi nd, in this invincible aaecessity, a justification of Major Dunda s taking a most unmerciful advantage of this child. But it -appears to us that the very facility eluded to by cur corre spondent forms the strongest ground of accusation against , ENING, JUNE 13, 1831. •fajor Dundas. A man of any generosity of feeling would ave said tohimstlf, here is a girl less able than her equals I age usually 'are to take care of herself. It would be isy for ine to take advantage of her simplicity or her reakness, just as it would he easy for Spring or Cribb, or my champion of the Pr'ze Rihg, to knock down a beard 'fiss youth ; but this very weakness is the most poweiful of it appeals to my honour." It is not upon this principle that the rich have )rotected propely—that they have gone on•multiply • og and aggravating punishments in proportion to emptation, and facility; but when we come to the i.e.ttnti of what Shakepeare terms the " pleasant ,ins," in which they trespass in common with the mor, we find them not only grudging the legal re !re,s, but endeavouring to set aside the moral check tltogether.

The case, so far as this preliminary step is concerned, is now adjudicated: The Curt have !eclared their opinion, that we have been guilty of publishing "'a commensich, connecting it with -he paragraph that went before it, appears to contain matter of strong imputation upon the Duke and his family." It remains for a jury to confirm or refute his view of the case. From all arguments or state ments which may be construed as anticipatory of the jury's verd . ct, we shall carefully abstain. From re marks on what is past and irreversible, we do not consider ourselves precluded ; and the less so, be catise, by the form cf procedure, we were precluded from replying to the learned Knight, whom, with commendable judgment, his Grace's attorney selected to conduct the case for the prosecution. We have heard much of Sir James Scarlett's legal disingenuity, though we never joined in the cry raised against it. We have now witnessed it ; yet the evidence of our experience shall not induce us to treat his conduct as it might seem to deserve. We shall answer his remtuk s with the respect that is due to our readers and ourselves. Sir James Scarlett has acquitted us of being in flueneed by " any thing like personal feeling against the Duke of Beaufort or any of his family ;" we had already stated that we ft.lt none, and we now repeat it. That on the Duke as an individual, or his family as individuals, we did not expand a thought, is evident from the whole paper. It is not to his Grace that we now reply, but to his (Trace's coun sellor. Sir James Scarlett hinted a " suspicion" that the affidavit filed by us in explanation of our remark on the amount of public money received by the Duke's -family, was meant- not for our justifica tion, but that, by pnblishing it in the Spectator, we might sink deeper in public estimation the character of the noble Duke and his house. The suspicion is unfounded. We never intended to publish it. The Duke's affidavit answered directly and fully our re mark on his father's will—it did not answer di rectly nor fully our remark respecting the sums his family had received. We filed the affidavit, for the purpose of pointing out the defect of his Grace's af fidavit on this point; the Court, as we were advised, Unitiiimly requiring a specific denial by the prosecu tor of the statement complained of—a denial "in express terms." Sir James Scarlett quoted from an article in the Spectator of May I4th, the following words : " History tells us that so great a change of Go he went on to argue, as lions our own a d mission, effected elcti is now e l dwithout l v a e r rn td, ni s e v n a t s a n s ev ti e la r t proposed civil u, ar. E A n n g f - i that at a period which we described as full of peril, we ought to have been more than usually circum spect in our language. But he emitted to quote, though called upon to do so , what immediately fol lows these words — " that in the present case a cir cumstance quite unknown to history must be taken into account —namely, the Press, free, enlightened, active, and powerful, beyond all comparison with forme r times" _by which supplement, we marked the present period as an exception to all by-gone periods o f s imilar interest : and so far from admi ting it to be a period of danger, declared it to be, by the instru mentality of the Press, a period of perfect safety. Sir James first of all asserts, without a shadow of truth, that our remerks on the Duke of Beaufort were published at a time of dangerous, excitement, and then wilfully garbles our pages, in order to ma ke it be believed that we concurred in opinion with him ; the assertion and the garbling being equally meant to convert that into a libel by force of circumstances which in itself is acknowledged to have no libellous meaning. Sir James, adverting to an allusion made to the Black Book, ventured to insinuate that we might be convected with that publication. The history of the Black Book is too notorious to allow us to give such a man as Sir James Scarlett the credit of being ignorant of it. Our utmcst offence in regard to the Duke of Beaufort was, that we stated an in d'fferent lac, which we believed to be true, but which has turned out to be incorrect. Sir James retorts against us by the insinuation of a malicious fact, which is not only utterly false, but which he never for an instant believed to be true. W e have but one remark on the decision to which the Court has seen fit to come, and we make it with the perfect respect that is due to such high authorities. Lord Tenterden said, " following the usual course on such occasions," there was no alter native but to make the rule absolute. It was always our impression, that in such cases the usual course was for the Court to be guided by the affidavits before i t . To one portion of the alleged libel the Duke of Beaufort gave a direct denial; to another and more im cmpooeurntcatl.nuitiveprotiiintai portion, t r eh u ej l e t gaveltgi judgment ni ptr d oo e pf t e i t i th a l ye l bc that eoum m r tae,dtlevoeaubrssislotoate -1 should conclude nah te whether the application be supported by affidavit or nat. This is not the course laid dom] in the books; but we note it for the purpose of record, not of comment. If the Court and the counsel be right— if the words complained of by the Duke of Beaufort he a libel —we can but exclaim, with our respectable contemporary the Globe, " Of what a host of libels has the Press been guilty !" We have been looking pretty closely into the United Service .Tournal, and have been very much gra• titled at dissevering the quantity of activity and ability at work under its livid backs. We perceive that this vest for the military and naval officers, who are, ex-officio, greater scribblers than attornies, will turn to admirable use. Military men are always drawing up papers, repre lientalions, and formal memorials, and get into a great ha bit of composition : they are very methodical, anti this serves them instead of Oxonian logic; and they have gene rally something to write about, which is more interesting than Cambridge mathematics. As soon as any journal is considered and held to be an organized channel of com munication of any large and important branch or prefes• sion, it must necessarily be useful, and to a certain degree entertainin g ; for the great Ft stet of interesting others is .to be interested yourielf. But what profession or class can ea:brace such interesting subjects as the United Ser vice? The hair-breadth escapes; by land and sea—toe chivalrous achievements of great-souled men—the deep researches of an able tactitian—the grand crisis of war ant Insttle—the ebb and flow of an individual contest—these and ten thousand other points make the army and navy service a most admirable material 'and eubj,ct-matter fot a Specter:or.

Extracts from very recent letters from the scene of famine and distress in Ireland forwarded to the Western Committee for the relief of the Irish Poor:— (From the Rev. Charles Hargrove.) " We.tpart, - June 6, 1831. " In this afflicted country, where famine meets us whichever way we turn, every - day the distress is becoming more oppressive and more obvious; to particular'ze.cases would now be vain, where every one's case is becoming one of starvation. We administer relief extensively once a week, but not at all in sufficient quantity to meet the wants of the poor ; our funds are inadequate - for this, and the consequences are such as usually attend upon famine, RS the use of wild herbs, sea-weed, and other unwholesome food. This of course must have effect in producing diseases, and I regret to add that, i❑ my parish, disease exists to a considerable extent." (From the Rev. W. R I Stoney.) " Glebe 1-14.uge, Newport. Mayo, June 6, 1831. " The famine is beyond description dreadful here. The s'glits and sounds of woe are heart-rending. Though I have expended in loans near eight hundred pounds since the Ent of April, the greater part of which is borrowed money, it seems as if the Want of food increased in pro portion to the efforts to give relief. Hundreds have by it been saved from death. Provisions are rising in price, on account of the great dem Ind. The people in parts of the interior of the country prevented our cars from coming with oatmeal, fearing - a scarcity themselves froni the con stant drain. " Several from twenty to twenty-6ve miles distant on the sea-coast were here to-d iy, scarcely able to walk from hunger and fatigue ; their haggard looks and cries of de spair would melt the hardest heart. Some had to be re vived with cordials and bread to prevent death. I believe this is the most extensive district and most distressed part of Ireland. I offer up in my Church the prayer appointed in our Liturgy for a time of famine." (From N. 31.) " Larbeg, Rutland, Donegal, June 5, 1831. " The population here is so exceedingly dense, and the famine so general, few—very few—having enough, and none able to assist the sufferers, that a reflecting person must feel its horrors awfully. I can positively assert there were not less than 500 persons here yesterday, each a re presentative of a family, seeking and imploring relief, which a very few could get, as the last arrival of potatoes are gone (hut there are more coming), though, in the mean time, it is small con/fort to the famishing. One woman had left her father's dead body in the house with her children, at five in the morning, and came to seek for food; and as she lived in an island four miles from the shore, she did not get home till night. I saw her in the mornin4 and evening, her husband and four children ill, without provision and without attendance; and the respect which the lower order of Irish are scrupulously exact in paying their dead neglected. Another poor creature from the same island, Arranmore, had left her sister in a dying state, and her niece dead, in the same bed with her wretched mother. I have not time to enumerate the sad tales of misery I hourly hear anti witness—the haggard looks and tottering steps of even the young. I sent this evening to have meal purchased ; it is exorbitantly dear -11. per cwt. now, and not easily got. I had a large quantity of oaten cakes baked this morning, which 1 found a ready mode of affording relief, as some of the people here on getting the oatmeal requested to have it made into dough with water, that they might eat it instantly." (From Mr. Dombrain, Inspector-General of the Coast Guard.) "County Mayo, Bell=llet,Sunday, sth June, 1831. . . " The price of potatoes, two months ago was only 2s. per cwt., the worst description are now with difficulty to be had at 4s. 2d. ; oatmeal has risen from 131., in the Militia market, to 191., and we have two months of the worst and most trying time to come. Here the distress is as great as in Donegal, and I feel convinced that, do what you can, many, very many, must die from actual starvation before food can arrive. " The inclosed is a copy of an official report made to me by the Inspecting Commissioner here, and in addi tion he has assured me that a number of cattle having died from disease, they were, after their skins had been taken off, buried under ground, but such was the state of the poor fur want of food, that they actually dug them up and eat them." ."_l3ellmullet, Ist June, 1831. " I feel it my duty to inform you (with reference to the dreadful dearth of provision in Erris) of a circumstance which occurred en Monday last. A shoal of porpoises having appeared in Ely-bey, they were chased by the boats of the Lee cruizer, and five of them driven on shore under Bingham Castle, and killed by Owen Parry, Coast Blockade, who intended to have cut them up for the blubber ;' but the peasantry having observed the destruction of the finny tribe, they rushed in hundreds to the beach, with pots and kettles, and in a very short time greedily devoured every particle of them (except the bones). 'I do most painfully submit, it but too truly exhibits the state of the all-but famishing population daily (indeed I may add hourly) more apparent. _ _ " Anil I respectfully beg to observe, that uuless supplies are Artlavith abundantly sent in, all the potatoe crops will be destroyed, as the peasantry will from necessity tear them up before they are half grown, and cause a greater dearth neat year." Letters were received yesterday by Govern ment from Glarnorganshire, announcing the complete sup pression of the disturbances at Merthyr Tydvil. The ringleaders are all in custody. We need hardly repeat that these disturb:lnt:es arose entirely out of disputes respecting wages. The Magistrates and leading men at Swansea have issued a pr. clamation, in English and in Welsh, putting an end to the truck system, and declaring that henceforth the men's wages are to be paid in money every Friday af ternoon. We have our own doubts how far, in a remote district like Merthyr Tydvil, this change may in the end he beneficial to the workmen ; but this is their affsir..— Morning Chronicle. FIRE AND LOSS OF LIVES AT BOSTON,— About eleven on last Wednesday night, a fire broke out in the large four-story building ; at the corner of Broad-street and Ilazoilton.avenue—the lower part occupied by Mr. MAYNARD, M a bakery, and the upper by seven Irish families. The Traveller says, " When discovered, the flames had made considerable progress, and raged with such rapidity and violence that Mr. JouN MURPHY, hi, wife, and three children, all asleep in the upper stories, were burned to death before assistance could be rendered. Their remain., disfigured, partially consumed, and alto gether presenting a shocking and repulsive spectacle, were yesterday morning taken from the smoking ruins, and pro perly interred. One TIMOTHY SULLIVAN, who occupied a❑ upper room, not bring able to escape down stairs, first threw a child from the window, and then leaped out himself. The child was fortunately caught by some one below and saved, but SULLIVAN, it is said, is so badly in jured that he cannot survive. Several others with great difficulty escaped barely with their lives. The ages of the ehildren burnt were, it is understood, about ten, six, and two years. . They were, no doubt, all smothered while in bed, as the bed, bedding, &c., were seen to fall in one MM. The building was destroyed. FRENCH PAPERS. (Flom the Messager des Chambres of Satanlay.) PARIS, JUNE 10.—Recent accounts from Ran e q,-iverreason to hope for the speedy public.ition of rtn edict; which will make great ameliorations in tie government of the four legations. • We are not yet able to give the particulars, I tit it appears that the administration will be entirely in the hands of laymen. This fist point is fruitful in advantages both for the present and the future. A a imnesty is very positively announced. ALGIERS, MAY 29.—Colonists a rive in cfowds since the decision of the Council of Min'sters ;pecting this country has been known. - Passengers arrive from all parts. Ships from Spain have brought as many as 90. All are eager for land, ,vhich is now much in request. I told you before, hat 15,000 acres had been sold. At present the i nirchases are above 60,000 acres, arid if the pre im-ietors were not tenacious, the quantity of land old would be now double as much. People begin to• buy land five or six leagues off. We expect here some agents of the Riche of I?, , l ypt, who are coming to buy horses foi him.— rite Riche has recominew!ed several inhabilariti of klgiers to General Berthezene, with who n he keeps p a pretty comtant correspondence. Mules' Ali iias left the environs of Trumezen, after h.ling plun lered the inhabitants. It is to be feared that Mustapha, and Musserby, vho is said to have been . set at liberty, may make Themselves mAsters of Tremezen, unite the Arabs there, and declare themselves independent. It is proposed to send back to France the 24th of the line, and to send to Oran a battalion 'and two companies of Parisian volunteers. In case there should be a serious attack on Oran, we should only occupy Mers-el-Keber, and Fort St. Gregerio. The vessel which brought the Spanish; refugees here is gone back to Spain. The persons accused of political offences must be already at 'Marseilles. (nom t' ,e Gazette de France, of Saturday.) PARIS, JUNE 10.—The Ministers now , at Paris met this morning at ten o'clock. The Council di:l not break, up till half-past two; it will meet again this evening. It is affirmed that in the Congress at Leral;rl it was decided on the 7th of June, that measures should be taken for the immediate execution of the protocols. News unfavourable to the Poke has been talked of to-day as having been received by the Minister for Foreign Aired's. It was also said that letters from Frankfort an►tounced a decisive battle gained over Diebitsch before Naga. We know how much reason there is to distrust reports of this nature; those which we report had, however, gained some credit.—Le Temps. PARIS, JUNE 10.—A journal has announced this mottling, but without answering for it, that the Rus sian army having arrived before Praga en the night of the 29th of May, had fought a decisive battle on the following day. This news cireuhtted on 'Change, and was generally considered to be favourable to ttie Poles. (The writer of this article proceeds,to show the. improbability of this news. All the French journals give the news from WarsaW of May 30). (From the Courrter Francais of Saturday.) PARIS. The Prance of Joinville has arrived in Corsica. He visited the house of the Buonaparte fainily, and expressed a desire to have some object belonging to the Emperor. The landl or d made him a' present of a small arm-chair, which the Prince sent off to Paris. DOUAY, JUNE 7.—The greatest activity ,prevails at the arsenal and foundery of Douay. In cons, - quence of a late Ministerial order, three millions of cartridges are now manufacturing by 140 soldiers of the line, and most of the cannoniers of the Ist re giment of artillery. Six cannons ue weekly cast at the foundery, and a considerable nurnber of operatives are employed in the arenal, making gun_ carriages, caissons, and other vehicles and implements. (From the Quotidienne of Saturday.) We are informed that the Government has been officially apprised of Prince Lev°id's refusal, by M. Talleyrand. It was reported, during the day, that disturbances had broken out at Mons, and that the people had hoisted the French ui-coloured flag. The Duke of Modena is going to take 3,000 Swiss soldiers into his service. None but those professing the Catholic religion are to be admitted. (From the ConstitutionneL) LISBON, MAY 26.—(Extract of a private letter.) —The messenger sent by Don Miguel to Madrid, nn receiving the ultimatum of the Captain of the Ent/li n/ion, returned yesterday. The Princess Donna Maria Theresa, Miguel's eldest sister, who has al. ways been Ferdinand's agent in the affairs of Portu gal, informs her brother that he is not to give way, and that he will not be left to bear the contest alone; and that Los Tercios of the Two Castilles and Es tramadura will march immediately to Badajos and ()hyena. She adds also, that a person at the French Court will never permit the Ministry to push things so far as to compromise Don Miguel, in whose favour the Queen of Spain takes an interest. In spite of these fine things which the Ministers boast of, the Migue!hes are afraid, and take measures of precau tion. The gendarmerie are authorised to penetrate into the prisons where the patriots are confined, which has excited terror in their families, because the Ministerial Journals constantly recommend the murder of these people. The Jean VI. and two frigates are ordered to prepare for sea, and will depart in a few days, if no French man-of-war shall increase our squadron. The Incomparable arrived 0113 morning from Maranhao. She made for the port during the night, and at day-break was far beyond the reach of the French. The blockade, to be effectual, must be rein forced by small vessels. The Minister of Don Miguel, seeing the French merchants making no preparations to go away, fancy they have received secret instructions to remain. They are now canc.l smugglers, and if a sedition take place, they will, probably, have to repent having placed themselves under the protection of the Lisbon police. : The Inglish and Portuguese capitalists have sent all the property they cauld d:spose of to Englar4on beard of Commodore Maitland's ship. A Jew, fran Gi bra'tar, has r is e 1 ht re, seeking a letter of marque against France. • (Fron the Quolidienne.) PARIS, JUNE 10.—The following convers:.tion, according to the Tribune, took place on Sunday evening, at an ambassador's :—" Now," said a pa triotic citizen to the Ambassador, " it cannot be doubted that Don Miguel will give us satisfaction, and will accede to our terms." " Don Miguel will (rive you nothing." " But our ships are there, and they will bombard Lisbon and Oporto." "They will bombard neither the one nor the other. At ti.e first shell that you throw the English will tell you that at Lisbon ai well as at Oporto, are the stores of the East India Company, and you must not. fire a second." Such is the good opinion which the Am b.►fsador entertains of our Cabinet. NVe received yesterday the Ru sian bulletin of the affair at 41trolenka. It speaks vaguely of the sacrifices which the victory cost - , but a correspond. ent informs us that from 15,000 to 18,000 troop, and twelve Generals were killed. This loss, which appears disproportionate, m , embles, however, that of the French army at Borodino, where a great re doubt was the object of a special attack, as was ti.e road to Wursaw at Ostrolerika. The Poles a - tiieked the head-quarters of the Marshal with such impetuosity that the troops brigaded on that poill had a great deal of trouble to form in the rnitht of the general confusion.
