must be held to be legitimate. The Vice-Chancel lor (Sir J. Leach) had held that " the child of it married woman must be taken to be the child of her husband, unless it were shown that her husband ould not have been the father of the child, and the videnee to show that must be such as to put the matter beyond all doubt;" and in that opinion Lord Eldon had concurred. Such being the law, he should show that Mr. Morris and his wife passed days and even nights together, one of them being forty years of age, and the other under thirty, and Mrs. Morris being, as it would appear, very clearly, a lady who was not likely to be very backward in her conduct, and if' he succeeded in satisfying the Jury that Mr. Morris might have been the father 'of the child, it signified nothing that Mrs. Morris might have had an illicit intercourse also with any number of other persons. The law was general, and universal, and if it was not so, the greatest difficulty would ensue, as the consequence would be, that Juries in all cases where any married woman had a paramour, would have to decide which of the two, the husband or the paramour, was the father of the offspring of the wife. It was a great injury to the plaintiff, that this case had not been in vestigated several years ago. However, as soon as he was of age to know anything of his own history, he was assured that he was the legitimate son of Mr. Morris, and he immediately asserted his . rights as such, by commencing a suit in the Court of Chancery ; but that suit was met by the present defendant's keeping a most important witness out of thaway ; and that witness who was the person who was, pre sent at the birth of the plaintiff, as it would be dis tinctly shown, was kept out of the way for more than ten years, and sent from Wales to England, and from England to Scotland, and she was finally (after ten orders had been given by the Lord Chancellor for her production) taken into custody at Liverpool, as she was on her departure to America. This was moss cogent evidence of the rind merits of the de fendant's case ; and he would close his address, by citing the words of Lard Eldon,. who said, " Ihat she greatest caution should be used, and that no one should be declared illegitimate, except on the most clear and satisfactory evidence." Elizabeth Evans said—l am the daughter of Ann' Evans, who is dead. _ I knew Mrs. Morris when she ived at Llanfair. My mother was an occasional servant to her. My mother left Llanfair about 20 years ago. My mother was served with a paper to attend Commissioners to examine witnesses, and she immediately left the country altogether, and I did not see her till I met her in London, where • she stayed ; and she was absent about ten years. I went to London by desire of the defendant, to see my mo ther, and to pay 201. to Mrs. Morris. Mr. Davies told me where I should find my mother, and he was to pay the expense of my journey. I swore an affi ;davit in Chancery to try to find my mother. Cross-examined—I do not recollect saying that I would swear for those that would pay me best, or that I would swear what would do. Ido not recol lect ever saying that Mr. and Mrs. Dav i e s were, poor devils. It is possible that if people said foolish things to me I might have returned a foolish answer. Mr. Blackstock proved that repeated orders were made by the Lord Chancellor for the attendance of Ann Evans, who was finally committed to the Fleet, and that he had made offers to try the - cause seve ral years ago, if the defendants would prnduce Ann Evans. The deposition of Ann Evans was read—lt statEl she was-present at the birth' of the plaintiff, who was b o rn in the house of Mrs. Morris, who was the mother of the plaintiff, and that William Austin and herself (Ann Evans) conveyed the child in the night it was born to a town called Wem, many miles off, and that she delivered him to the mother of Wm. Austin, where the plaintiff was brought up. It also stated, that Mrs. Morris supplied the plaintiff with clothes while he was a boy. The deposition of Thomas Ebury stated that he , was the apprentice of Edward Austin, the father of William Austin, and that the plaintiff was brought in the night to his master's house, the plaintiff then being a baby. It is also stated that Mrs. Morris came to see him frequently, and supplied him with clothes. Mr. Hassan, the Deputy Governor of Coldbath fields, said—l was born at Llanfair: I knew Mrs. )lorris when she lived there. Before I went , to school at Shrewsbury, which was in the year 1792, I saw Mr. Morris frequently go in and out of Mrs. Morris's house. lam quite sure that Mr. Morris was the person. I knew it because it was buzzed about whenever Mr. Morris was gone to his wife's. —(A laugh.) Cross-examined—l think the plaintiff very like William Austin, who lived at Mrs. Morris's. Mr. Morris used generally to stay a quarter of an hour, but sometimes I don't know how long he stayed. Mary Evans said lam now forty-eight. I knew Mr. and Mrs. Morris. I saw them together at our cottage. John Evans said—l was a servant boy at Mrs. Morris's. I knew Mr. Morris. I have seen them walking together, and I have seen him go into her house. William Hughes was examined in the Welch lan guage through the medium of an interpreter, he said—l have seen Mr. Mottis at Llanfair. ,He was walking in Mrs. - Morris's garden with her. I saw him at her:house several years before. He went into her house, but I don't know how long he remained. Evan Evans said—l am 74. I was in the ser vice of Mrs. Morris; I was hired at Nollontide, which is a month "before Christmas: Mrs. Morris looked rather stouter than another woman ought to, be, but she was much less in a fortnight or three' weeks after, during which time I did not see her. I saw Mr. Morri s ' in 'the parlour with her, and I saw him again in March, when he came to Mrs. Morris on a visit ; I can't say whether he stayed more than a day and night; I am not sure. • Richard Ellis said—l am a carpenter. In 1792 1 wits doing repairs at Mrs. Morris's house at Llan fair ; Morns, set us to work; I saw him go into . house; this was about July or August ; 2 . know that Mrs. Morris was at home ; They came together to look at the work repeatedly; They walked together'; I am now 49; I was then 14. years of age. Cross-examined.--I Amid perceive that Mrs. Morris was enceinte as early as the month of Sep tember, 1792. Examined by the, Learned BAROII,—I saw Mr. llorris in company with Mrs. Morris in the spring of 1702, and also in the previous year. Oliver 'Williams said—ln the_ year 1792, I was sent to Mr., Morris by Mrs. Morris, and I brought back two hams and three strikes of corn, w hi c h Mr. Morris sent to his wife. Elizabeth Wellings said —I was a servant of Mrs. Morris for a short time, while Jler cook was gone away. This was 34/ or 35 years ago. Mr. Morris used to come. I did not sleep in the house, but I left Mr. Morris there at between two and three ,o'clock in the morning. There had been company there that night. The company were gone, hut Mr.l Morris was left there. I went again at about seven in the morning to get breakfast, and Mr. ,Morris was there still. He went orris's at about eleven brought some; o'clock, and' the next day Mr... M wheat, two hams, and a cheese. This visit was, before I observed Mrs. Morris to be enceinte. Mr, : and Mrs. Morris behaved kindly towards each other. Cross-examined — Mrs , M orris directed me to make up a bed, and said that Mr. Morris was going' to sleep with her. I stayed up so late because I had work to do after the company were gone. The company left at ten or eleven. I remember Wij ham Austin. He was called a servan t, but he dined in the parlo ur with Mrs. Morris. He used to go out shooting , Mrs. Arthu r said—l lived in the service of Mr,l Morris's brother. Mr. and Mrs. Morris visited there between May 1792:and May 1793. They came to dine. They stayed till the evening, and then they ,vent to Mr. Morris's, at Argoed. Mrs. Williams sai d saw Mr. Morris standing i n t he parlour-windowt at Mrs. Morris's house. I ;vas balysiyiltdOW, Mtn, *Ws was standing neat him. This was in the October before the child was born. Mrs. Morris was then enceinte, and . Mr. Morris must have perceived it. Mary Evans said—l lived in the service of my husband's father, and as I was coming home from a mill, a heifer which lay in the road got up and ran at mel The heifer wounded me in the face. It' was. about Lady-day, but the year I don't remem ber; I was attended for this hurt by Dr. Jones ; while I was staying at home for this accident, went to Mrs. Morris's while my Mother went to Miss Gwynne's, who was removing her housekeep-; ing. The morning after I went there I was wash ing the tea-things, when Mr. Morris tapped at the door; I let him in, and Mrs. Morris hearing the rap at the door, came in from the 'garden, and met Mr. Morris in the passage. They met, shook hands, and -, kissed in the passage; they parted, and there being, : two parlours, Mr. Morris went into one of the.par lours and Mrs. Morris went into the other; but in a., - ; very short time Mrs. Morris went into theparloin . where Mr. Morris was ; they were there together an hour or more, and then they rang for some cold meat ; I took them the refreshment, and they sent me for some porter ; I left them together, and they remain-, ed so till noon, and then they went in a direction to wards Mrs. Lloyd's, of Gwrddllwydd ; Mrs. Morris said she was going to Gwrddllwydd, to dine; I saw no more of them that night, and Mrs. Morris did not return till next day, when Mr. Morris accom panied her home; _I married in the course of the same year, and in that year I carrled a letter to Mr. Morris, at Argoed, and brought an answer back;,. the following winter Mrs. Morris was enceinte. Cross-examined.—l have always lived in Live' -< pool. I let lodgings, but not to young women ; have generally about half is dozen lodgers—they , sometimes stay a day, and sometimes a week. I don't let lodgings for two or three hours only----I never heard of such a thing. I don't keep an hotel ; a man and his wife sometimes lodge at my house, but I am not so strict as to ask for their marriage certificate. .When I carne away a man and his wife lodged on the first floor, and a younc , man on the second. I have no daughters at home. c I never t' said that, if Austin got it, I should have 601. for life ; neither' to Mr. nor Mrs. Payne ; but Mrs. Payne said that I was a great fool if I did not get it ; and when I was summoned to go to London, to give evidence, Mrs. Payne said she would not go to London, or any where, unless she was to have so -• much a year to live upon. I know the plaintiff—l never called him Austin, and never heard any one else call him so, except Mr. Davies and his family. I don't believe I ever said that Mrs. Morris had a child by Austin. I never said to Mary Jones, of Oswestry, that, if the plaintiffgained the trial, I was to have 601. a-year for life, and 2001. besides. • Re-examined--Before I went to London, to sec my mother, Mr. Nicholas Jones, Mr. Davies's steward, gave Me .5/. to pay my expences. ' The marriage register of Mrs. Anne Evans was, put in,*to show that she was married in the year 1792. Mrs, Lloyd, a very fine-looking old lady, said—l am not quite eighty-five; my christian name is Eli zabeth. I remember r. and Mrs. Morris. The latter lived at Llanfair. I lived at Gl,vrddllwydd, which is about a mile from Llainfair. I used to visit Mrs. M. very often, and Mrs. Morris used to come to my house. Mr. Morris, as I remember, came only once ; he came with Mrs. Morris after dinner—they came on foot. I know Mrs. Davies, but she was not with them then. Mr. and Mrs. Morris passed the night at my house; they left next morning, after breakfast. I don't know to the contrary of , their sleeping toge. ther. When Mr. Morris came down in the morning, I said I was very glad to see them so agreeable to gether ; and he said he was very glad too, or some thing to that effect. Mrs. Morris was not down stairs at this time. They went away together. This being the case for the plaintiff, Mr. TAUNTON asked as it was near eight o'clock, that he might address the Jury for the defendant to-morrow. Mr. Baron VAUGIIAN—Let the Court be adjourned to eight o'clock to-morrow morning. The present Home Circuit has been the best' for the lawyers which has occurred for several years, there having been already 111 causes tried. In some years there have trot been more, than 27 or 28 altogether, although a few years ago 150 causes were tried in one Circuit.— Brighton Gazette. It has been remarked that there has been more property destroyed by fire, within half a mile of the Surrey side of Westminster-bridge, than any other given spot in the whole metropolis. DREADFUL FlRE.—Between one and twol o'clock yesterday morning, a very alarming fire broke out upon ,the premises of Mr. Jackson, corn-dealer, Rotherhithe-lane, which, in a few minutes, spread throughout the premises, and before any adequate means could be used to check. its progress, burnt the house down to 'the ground, and damaged some premises in the rear. No accident to life occurred. IMBER, AUG. 10.—A dreadful conflagration • occurred hen psterday, which at one time threatened destruction to the whole of the town. About half-past two o'c lock, p.m., an alarm of " Fire" was raised, the premises of W. Tinker, Esq. an opulent farmer, being discovered to be enveloped in one entire blaze. Nothing could exceed the a wfulness and grandeur of the sight ; 'all the out-houses, barns, stables, wheat, straw, hay-stacks, &c. blazing to such an immense height, as to be distinctly seen several miles distant, which brought immense.numbers of per sons to the spot. The devouring element soon communicated to the premises of Mr. Millard, and also a part of Mr. Wentworth's farm, where one large hay-rick was destroyed.—Bath and Cheltenhanz Chronicle. SHOCKING ACCIDENT.--A bricklayer's la bourer we understand, of the name of Karmoddy while going up a ladder at Islington, was preci pitated from nearly the top of the house, and fell upon the railings in front, The violence with which his body fell broke four of the spikes, one of which stuck through his side, and remained in his body until the following day, when he expired in the most excruciating agony. The following anecdote has been communi cated to us from good authority. During the! Chancellorship of Lord 14oughborough, about thirty years ago, his Lordship directed a gentle man, holding an official situation, to convey per sonally a letter to a Mr. Canning, of . whom all which was known was that he resided at one of the Inns of Court. The bearer commenced his search, and after some time found Mr. Canning at chambers in Paper-buildings, Temple. The object of the letter was to convey an offer of the post of Under Secretary of State, and the person to whom it was addressed was the late Premier. —Brighton Gazette. A few days since a melancholy accident oc curred at S.outhyfpld. Several of the family.ol the Rev. H. S. Trimmer were on the Pier with some friends, when a favourite dog was taken by the current on the sand-bank, which at low waterl extends` some way into the sea. Mr. Watson, a young gentlenian of about seventeen years of age, one of the party, immediately exclaimed, " I will go and bring him out ;" and had no sooner uttered the words than he sprang forward, quite unconscious of his danger. The sand, al though nearly dry, was insufficient to support his weight, and he was in a moment precipitated into the deep, never to rise again from thence.— LEssex Herald. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. . (From the Moniteur of Monday.) " Official intelligence from Lisbon, dated the Ist of this month, announces that tranquillity is re-esta blished in that capital. Energetic measures had been adopted for the dispersion of the assemblages. " The diplomatic body has received a note relative Ito the occurrences of the end of last month. " Private letters state, that the restoration of! order is owing to the firmness of the Princess! Regent, and to the measures adopted by, the Mi.) nister of War, Count da Ponte, to bring back to their duty the cavalry regiments, Nos. 1 and Although discipline is re-established amongst the Por tuguese troops which form the garrison, it is said that the Princess Regent has caused a squadron of English Lancers to be brought from Caldas for her, body-guard. (From the Gazette de France, dated Tuesday, Aug. 14. ) " MADRID, JULY 30.—General Count d'Espana has passed some days at Talavera; after having. most minutely inspected the troops cantoned there he proceeded to the extreme frontier, doubtless for a similar purpose. _ . " A circular of the Minister of Grace and Justice", l enjoins all the tribunals of the kingdom to suspend" !the preliminary investigation of all cases relative to! the manifestation of political opinions. " The levy :of conscripts lately ordered proceeds with much activity. Five new regiments are to bel completely organized and equipped by the end of September. " A regiment of light infantry left this city a fewj days ago, to reinforce the army of observation. (From the Diario di Roma.) " CORFU, JULY 7.—Letters from Zante say, that three Egyptian vessel's havc arrived at Modon, which made part of the Egyptian expedition that was attacked on the Isth and 16 th of June by the l Greeks off Candia. " General Church has divided his army into seve ral corps, with which he has occupied the defiles of the Thermopylae of the mountains of Phocis, to prevent the enemy from receiving provisions and reinforcements. " Colocotroni occupies a line from Argos to thel Isthmus of Corinth, in order to harass and cut off' the enemy's communications. " It is affirmed thatßedschid is appointed Capitan Pacha, and that Topal (the Capitan Pacha) is ap- 1. pointed Commander-in-Chief by land. Ibrahim still in Elts, making the necessary preparations to pass the gulf of Lepanto. " PARIS, Aua. 13.—We are authorized to con tradict the news given by an Italian Journal, that the yellow fever has appeared at Cadiz. Nor is it true that the French troops have gone into quarters out of the city. " The Courier Francais persists in commanding without a commission the operations of the Spanish army, which it is absolutely resolved to make ad vance towards the frontiers of Portugal. But it listens, to a more august and clearer voice. The, peace of the Peninsula will not be interrupted in spite, and perhaps y because of the wishes manifested by the Courier.' (From the Courier Francais of Monday.) (PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.) MADRID, AUG. 2.—An order has just been sent , to the Ist regiment of the line to proceed imme- 1 diately to Arragon, where some disturbances have occurred. Orders have also been sent to the 6th andlith regiments to proceed by forced marches to Andalusia. The stations of these regiments will be occupied by the provincial militia of Cordova, Ecija, and Guadix, who will, for that purpose, be re-em bodied. It appears that the proposed Treaty between Spain and Portugal, under the mediation of France ,and England, has not been ratified, because the Por tuguese Government has represented to the Cabinet of St. James's, that Spain has not given sufficient guarantees, and that the Royalist volunteers, who are almost innumerable, are calculated to excite se-1 riot's alarm. If these associations are to remain con tinually under arms, Portugal will be obliged to have recourse to her ally, the English Government, for such a military force as, added to her own, will • be sufficient to, counterbalance that of Spain. The extraordinary couriers last from Lisbon, in duce us to believe, that so far from the Army of Ob servation being dissolved, it will, before long, march to the frontiers of; Portugal. In fact, the last news from Lisbon is anything but satisfactory ; and the Apostolicals, both within and without Portugal,' who continue to make. the greatest efforts to over-' turn the Constitutional system, might now take ad vantage successfully of what is passing among our neighbours, to persuade our government to advance its army to the frontiers, which would greatly en courage the enemies of the Charter. This conjec ture appears the more probable, as the Army of Observation is kept up to the same number, and notwithstanding the want of troops in Arragon and Catalonia, the government . prefers calling out the Provincial Militia to taking away any portion of this army. LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, AUGUST 16, 1827. To-day consigns Mr. CANNING to his last Lome : to-day places him side by side with the great and the good of past ages—with PITT and Fox, and others of that richly endowed school of eloquence in which his mind was first formed and nurtured. Already, while we pen these .words, an immense crowd is pouring forward it ,the direction of the Abbey, respeCtfully deter• mined, at whatever inconvenience, to pay theirl last tribute of gratitude to the memory of the illus trious dead. This feverish excitement must, how- ever, soon subside—the sharp edge of afflictioi I(must be worn away--common sense resume her rights, and the merits of GEORGE CANNING, beheld no longer with the eye of prejudice or partiality, obtain their fitting level. And this is all that remains to consummate his unequalled reputation. His whole political career was nee broad and direct appeal to the com mon sense of his countrymen—no shallow pompous coxcombry—no prosing egotism— no eternal mouthings of sincerity and plain dealing, deformed the fair pages of his elo quence ; all there was manly, liberal, and consis tent ; a cultivated surface of fancy, spread over a rich substratum of common sense. While, there- [Ore, we mourn his demise—while we mourn the extinction of those graces which shed lustre alike on the policy and the literature of England, pride blends with our regret that they will as- suredly be imperishable. Peace then to the Manes of GEORGE CA NiNG ! A few hours--and his last resting place will be restored to its wonted solitude—the voice of mourning will be hushed—the vaulted floor will cease to echo with the thoughtful tread 01 stranciers but what time shall suffice to obliterate the recollection of the gifted Statesman from the minds of those who have this day witnessed his interment ?- Quidquid ex Agricola amavirmis, quidquid inirati sumus, manet, mansurumque est in ani, mis hominum, in mternitate temporum, fam6. rerun. , Nam multos veterum velut inglorios el ignobiles oblivio obruet, Agricola posterital narrates et traditus superstes erit." DUBLIN, Aua. 13. The shock caused by the' death of Mr. Canning is yet visible in the gloom that prevails generally., Even the appointment of Lord Goderich has not altogether dispelled the 'fears raised by Mr. Can- • ning's dissolution, that Ireland will not occupy so much of the heart of the present Premier as of his predecessor. Still there is a modified exultation in the liberal party, that there - is no likelihood of the: recurrence of a Tory regime. I should think Lord Goderich is warmly attached to Irish interests. I saw some letters written by him while he was Chan cellor of the Exchequer, to a Noble Lord in this country, and they breathed the kindliest feelings. I recollect his taking an opportunity, of saying, in one of these letters, that no consideration whatever would induce him to consent to the abolition of the linen bounties, if he did not feel satisfied t hat Ireland, to whose interests he felt "devotedly attached," would be benefitted by their withdrawal. His brother-in law, who is, I believe, his private Secretary, is an! Irishman, and a decided liberal, and in his quality of! a country gentleman and magistrate, has displayed,l in a part pf the country where faction has gained al great ascendancy, feelings of strong attachment tr the Catholics. It is believed here that the Marquis Wellesley has he has signified his intention of accepting it. Lord Plunket is inconsolable for the death of Mr. , Canning, and has completely secluded himself at Old Connaught.

" STocxnotal, JULY 31.—The Gazette orAyesterday contains a very long address from the Storthing of Norway to his Majesty, declining to grant the sum of 280,000 dollars for continuing during the next three years the building of the Royal Palace ; alleging as a chief reason for their reusal, the declining prosperity of the kingdom.— While the Storthing wishes that every thing should be done for the accommodation of his Majesty, it thinks the plan proposed too expensive and costly, and begs his Majesty to submit to the next Storthing a more precise plan for the completion of the work, which may show accurately what the total expense is likely to be. " His Majesty in his reply says, he finds a great contra diction between this address and the view of the state of the kingdom which was given at the opening of the Storth ing, and he desires the Norwegian Government to compare the two documents, it being his earnestwish to know the real state of the country, to draw the attention of the nation to it, and to oncert with its representatives the best mea sures of promoting the general welfare. His Majesty does not at all approve of the reasons alleged for suspending a work already begun, and which all classes of people greatly desired to see executed ; and he observes among other things, that if foreign trade has decreased, they must contrive to find more employment for the people at home. This may be done without increasing the debt, and the overplus of the revenue in the last three years clearly proves the care of the Government in this respect. Even the most powerful nations have suffered a stagnation in their foreign trade, and Norway' cannot hope to eseape the effects of it. " BERLIN, AUG.

Montreal and Quebec Papers, the former to le 19th, the latter to the 18th ultimo, have been received : Their contents are chiefly occupied in dis cussing the merits of the various candidates for the honour of representing'the people in the new, Provincial Parliament ; it is believed the contest will be warmer than was ever known. A Gene ral Order from the office of the Adjutant-Gene ral of Militia had been published at Quebec, under date the 12th July, by order .of the Go vernor-General, to one of the Ist Battalions of the York Militia, conveying his thanks to thel Colonel-CommEtpdant for the notice he had taken and report made of the conduct of certain officers under his command, in encouraging and taking part at the public meetings tending to ex cite discontent in the people. The order informs him also, that, by virtue of the powers vested in the Governor, several officers standing in this! situation (the names are given, consisting of ali major, 6 captains, 1 lieutenant, and a surgeon) , l shall have their commissions cancelled, and dial those individuals shall be enrolled as privates militiamen. The cause of offence is, for the 'pro minent part taken by these degraded officers, at the Unconstitutional Meeting, at St. Eustache, which is considered to have rendered them unfit to hold commissions, not on account of the danger they are likely to effect, but as unfit from a want of self-conduct to command others. _ The Quebec Paper ofi the 12th says, the United States schooner, Marian, had sailed that day, for Boston, without any outward freight, taking back the principal part of her cargo, beef land pork, owing to its not being permitted to entry on, coming seawise. Frankfort Papers, and the Allgemeine Zei4 Lung to the 9th instant, reached us last night,c from which we make the following extracts. The intelligence from Constantinople comes down to', the 17th July, and leaves but little hope of the Sultan's acceptance of the mediation of the i Great Powers of Europe. t RUSSIA.—The Vasiosoy frigate, of 44 guns, belonging 1 to the fleet that sailed from Cronstadt, was wrecked upon; a rock in sight of the harbour of Revel ; the crew and ; effects were saved. The Emperor had assigned it to Count Kotschubey and his family to convey them to Revel. 1 The stormy weather had luckily induced them to leave the , ship before the accident, and to continue their journey by land. I ODESSA, JULY 31.—Letters from' Constantinople, of the 17th July, leave but little hopes of thy Sultan's coo -1 'senting to agree to the propoal of the Mediating Powers. (On the contrary, it is reported in Pere, that the Sultan ,had signified his displeasure in the strongest terms, and in 'conformity with the preceding declaration had expressly prohibited the Reis Effendi from entering upon any farther `negociations on the subject. The warlike preparations be come daily more serious, though, hitherto, their osten !sible object is strictly confined to the suppression of the Greek insurrection. Except a corps of Bor 10,000 men near Adrianople, no preparations are making on the side of the Danube, from which it may be inferred that the Porte knows itself to he secure in that quarter. DRSSDEN, JULY 31.—Yeaterday a Royal Proclamation was issued, as usual, at the commencement of a new reign, promising to protect and uphold the Protestants in all their rights and privileges, the Catholics to enjoy the exercise of their religion on the same footing as the Protestants, and tke members of both churches to enjoy, without restriction, equal civil and political rights. Christians of the Greek church, who are in the kingdom, are to enjoy the same civil rights. SWITZERLAND, AUo 3.—ln the Sitting of the 23d of July, notes were read to the Diet from M. de Maltzen, Minister of Bavaria; and M. de Herzog, Counsellor of Fi nance of Wurtemburg. These notes, communicating the Commercial Convention concluded between the two king doms, express a desire to know if Switzerland is inclined to join in it. The commissioners of the two kingdoms were ready to confer with those whom Switzerland might ap poir, and did not hesitate to give the assurance that the transit 'and importation of the principal productions of Switzerland would be favoured. The Diet unanimously resolved to appoint commissioners o hear the overtures announced, and to make a report on diem. RICCHANGTS ON LONDON.

The following paragraph spews that the Slave Trade was still carried on 'from the Island of Cuba with all the horrors usually attendant on it. SLAVE TRADE. —This abominable traffic, we regret to end, is still prosecuted with energy from the Island of Cuba. By an arrival at Charleston, we learn, that "e schooner from the coast of Africa, with 250 negroes, came to anchor about four leagues off Trinidad de Cuba on the 29th of June. She landed the negroes at night, and en tered on the Slat under Dutch colours. She was dis patched from St. Jago de Cuba : this is her third trip within a short time. She lost 110 on her passage."

His Majesty's brig Britomart, Captain Cha 'niter, had arrived at Tampico, from Vera Cruz, prior to the 20th June. She is stated to have received at the latter port 400,000 dollars, and was to receive 50,000 more at Tampico, from which she would proceed to Havannali and England. The Britomart may be expected in a w ee k or ten days. Estiva, the late Finance Minister at the city of Mexico, who had returned, was not appointed Governor at Vera Cruz, but Superintendant, and the cause of refusirg to receive him in that capacity arose from his being a menu' her of the Yorkino, a lodge which was founded by.

The English Funds opened this morning at 89i I for account, and 894 4 for October ; a trifling rise afterwards took place to 894 4 for this, and 4 for next time, but they have net continued at that prices having gone back to 89 4 for August account; the market is not so good, money being rather more scarce; but as the Courts of Chancery shut , to' morrow, an expectation is entertained that sales of money Stock - may probably be made from thh' quarter.
