FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.. FRENC - R PAPERS. (Prom tte Moils of Wednesday. TRIEITE, MAY B.—We have news from Constan tinople of the 10th of 'April, of which the following is the substance : " Lord Cochrane, who arrived in Greece with a brig, a large schooner, and about 700,000 francs, which were remitted him by the French Philhellenes, declared to the Assembly at Egina that he was.come to assist the Greeks in recovering their liberty, and that he desired to be appointed High Admiral of their fleet. The Hydriots did not at first seem in clined to obey a foreigner; but Lord Cochrane hav ing declared that he could not serve except on this condition, and that otherwise he should withdraw, they consented, and his Lordship having been unani mously appointed High Admiral, had a squadron equipped, composedof his two vessels, the American frigate Hellas, the Perseverance steam-boat, and four chosen Hydriot ships, in allB sail, with which heis gone on a secret expedition. It is thought that the Admiral will go to Negropont and Zeitouni, or towards the Mediterranean. It is said that the Porte is much alarmed at the arrival of Lord Cochrane, and that it is using every exertion that its fleet may put to sea as soon as possible, under the command of a certain Soleiman, of Alexandria, who is resolved to measure his strength with the English Admiral. Eight men of war, two frigates, four corvettes, and two brigs, have already sailed from the Dardanelles. They will be followed by 36 other men of war, and many transports. Peals, MAY 22.—Letters from Mayence of the 13th May, state that the Chamber of Deputies at Darmstadt has rejected unanimously the project of Law presented by the Government, the object of which was the abrogation of the French Code, which has so long been in force in the 'Grand Duchy. A report had been spread that Jerusalem had been pillaged, and the Holy Sepulchre profaned by . the Pacha of St. Jean d'Acre. The Italian Jour nals contain a letter from Leghorn, which declares this news to be entirely fictitious. (From the. Constitutionnel of Tuesday.) PARIS, MAY 21.—THE BUDGET or 1789 ; Tun 13(n )GET or 1827.—Franee is now a little smaller than it was in 1789, and has lost almost all the Colonies it then possessed. In 1789, the taxes and revenues were 475,284,000 f., and the expenditure 532,598,000 f. In 1827 the taxes and revenues are 916,608,734 f., and the expenditure 91.5,773,042 f. The public debt, perpetual as well as temporary, was 225,000,000 f. in 1789, and there was no Sinking Fund. The public debt is, in 1827, only 204,840,121 f., and of which the Sinking Fund has already absorbed 35,776,343 f. The Civil List, and the expences of the Royal Family, were in 1769, nearly what they are in 1827. The general expences of war, marine, finance, and the interior, are no more now than in 1789. There are moreover in 1827, the expences of religion, which in 1789 were not a burthen to the State, and amount in 1827 to 32 millions C 75,0001. 2 • the expences of the judiciary order, which are 18,825,634 f. ; and the amount of pensions, which is now 59,067,175 f., was only 30,000,000 in 1789. But these three sums united give only a total of 110,.567,8191., and not the 382,175,042 f., w hi c h is the difference between the expenditure of 1809 and 1827. Since the restoration the Ministers have drawn from the country, by means of taxes, 12 milliards 17,383,800 f. Of this sum, the Ministry of War has absorbed three milliards 218,894,264 f., and yet the military power of France, far inferior to that of other Powers, presents an effective force far below that mentioned in the budgets, and paid by the subject. Our strong places are not repaired ; the supplies of the Army are incomplete. ALEXANDRIA, APRIL 10.—(Ertract from a Private Letter.)—The Viceroy has just arrived at Alexandria, in order to accelerate by his presence the preparations for his projected expedition against the Greeks, and which is to be directed against Hydra. Already the Ottoman fleet of Medon, con taining two vestals of the line, has arrived in this port ; another is expected from Constantinople, which will raise the number of the war fleet to 53 awed vessels. The Pacha announces his intention o f taring the command of the expedition. •He has just been appointed by the Porte, Governor-Gene. ral of all the provinces and Turkish possessions beyond the Dardanelles, with the direction of the Greek war; these honours will cost him dear.— New levies have been made both for the army and the fleet. Preparations are already making to pre vent any disturbance doting the absence of the Pacha. Soliman Aga, Grand Custom-house Officer of Smyrna, the same who took an active part in the destruction of the Janissaries, has just been ap po . i n i:d Pacha by the Porte. He arrived at Alex andria so7ne days since, in a French frigate, with 500 troops embarked on board French merchant men, and convoyed by the frigate. His inves titure took place, and the Viceroy of Egypt pre sented him with 1000 purses from Constantinople ; his suite also received several presents. The new Pacha and his troops 110.4 set out for Candia, where he will assume the government of the isle, to sub due or pacify. The vessel built at Marseilles under the direction d• Marshal Livron, is expected every day in Egypt ; it has on board several French Naval Officers, des tined for the service , of the Viceroy. A Captain Letellier is at their head. The 6:lances of the Pacha are in a bad state : be intends to contract a loan in Europe. M. Lobin, an Austrian, ;‘eft this place a short time since for Constantinople, in order to carry there a hatti-cherif of the Grand Seigp,cor, and , to proceed then to Vienna, to treat there with Messrs. Rothschild con cerning the loan, or those who will make the best o ffers, This distress in the treasury, a bad state of health, and the bad success of the war in the Morea, have embittered the temper of the Viceroy, and have induced him to exercise unusual severity. He caused to be arrested at Cairo, condemned and hanged in an hour, a serif, for having given, or wished to give, a piece of money above the rate fixed by the firman of the Pacha. He appointed a short time since e commission of Turks and Arme nians to fix the wages of agricultural labourers : they fixed it at 13 per eent. below the rate of the last year. The diminution did not satisfy the Pacha : he exiled the Turks, and erdeted - the Armenians to pay all they owed to the treasury, without allowing them any times Another more disastrous measure was adopted by the Pacha some time ago. Re gave orders that all the comoercial circulating assignations on the Trea sury should be placed in the hands of an agent, under the pretence o f verifying them. They were depo sited to the amount of eight millions of piastres ; the verification has long iNen made, and the assignations are not returned to the owners. This delay has caused the more alarm, as it was under similar cir cumstances that the Pacha became master of all the landed property in Egypt, by thus obtaining posses sion of their titles, which he burned. The Pacha has exiled a protected Austrian, and a banish merchant at Alexandria, who had decided a C AS 'in which he was a party, in a manner dis pleasing to him. The continuance of this system of arbitrary banishment would be materially injurious to the comrrincial relations of this country with Europe. The military duties of Cairo have ceased to be performed by the Albanians, and are confided to the disciplined troops. 1 1"1 1... Albanians, who were dis banded at Cairo, were eii2ist•d at Rosetta ; 'WO, who did not willingly submit to ibis measure, have been strangled or drowned. Magnietto, Consul of the King of Sardinia at Cairo, has been recalled to Turin, to give an ac count of his conduct in the assassination of Co. lonel Rey. The some Malta an M. netrated ger. LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, MAY 25, 18±7. The Administration of Mr. 'CANING seems now so firmly established, that we may be blamed for' reverting to the subject—but though the Right Honourable Gentleman enjoys the confi dence of his SOVEREIGN—though the majority in his favour is so decided in both Houses of Parliament, that his feeble opponents dare not even come to a division—still the party who have gone out, having long distributed the loaves and fishes, naturally have a considerable number of retainers, who having had their share of the public money, are exasperated at the dis continuance of any thing so agreeable, and vent their spleen against the distinguished individual to whom they ascribe their altered circumstances. It is not in the hope of changing opinions for which there are such sufficient grounds, that we offer any remarks at present, but with a view of counteracting the effect of their false statements on 'the minds of many honourable persons who are their unfortunate dupes. The cant of these malevolent creatures, is to charge Mr. CANNING with a want of faith. By a wilful concealment of half the truth on their own parts, they have persuaded some persons that Mr. CANNING told a deliberate falsehood in the House of Commons when he stated that he received the six Protestant resig nations in the KING'S Chamber. But, what is the'actual fact ? He was arguing to prove that the rest of the Cabinet had deserted him, and 110 - he them ; and in proof of this he asserted that he had received six Protestant resignations in the chamber of his SOVEREIGN. To the argument, it was of no avail whether he received some in the King's Chamber, and some at the Foreign Office ; both equally proved the decided hostility of his former colleagues ; but in the heat of an exciting debate (when minute detail is fatal to effect), Mr. CANNING said' that he received them all together in the presence of the KING. But if this inaccuracy mild have helped his statement, did he not make it where he was certain of being set right,—in the presence of Mr. PEEL, who not only could, but d:d interrupt him, and of many others to whom the facts were familiar. Mr. PEEL again inter rupted Mr. CANNING, by observing that the six resignations were not all Anti-Catholic, as Lord MELVILLE was favorable to their claims. Does any one suppose that Mr. CANNING said this also with a view of de ceiving the world about Lord MELVILLE'S sentiments, so often expressed by him, on the Catholic Question ? Or is there any thing like charity in ascribing a verbal inaccuracy, imme diately corrected, to the wish to deceive, which a man of the meanest intellect will scarcely at tempt where he is sure of being detected ? It is the same pitiful spirit which carps at another expression of the Right Honourable Gentleman, when he talked of " calling the New World into existence." We - wonder that some " friend of Church and State " (under stood by many to mean the uncompromising enemy of one-third of the citizens) did not pro poie indicting him for profaneness, since such men have no sympathy with genius, and wish that even oratory should be tamed to the level of their sober capacity. But the real state of the case is, that the Ultras in endeavouring to turn out Mr. CAN NING, have been themselves out-generalled.— They think ha should have told them all his plans, and he thought that he had better not, in asmuch as they had avowed themselves his bitter enemies, and for this most excellent reason they charge him with being perfidious. SOULT might have just as well charged the Duke of WELLING TON with perfidy, for not communicating to him -his plan of the campaign where those two great leaders were opposed to each other. But it is really useless to argue farther on this- subject. All Mr. CANNING'S friends feel for him the highest possible admiration—all impartial people (thinking that he made a most admirable Secre tary for Foreign Affairs, in a Government where he really was the most prominent character), wish him to have a fair trial in the situation to which the choice of the SOVEREIGN has now called him r —those who have been turned out will al ways detest him, if he were to save the country Brussels and Dutch papers to the 24th inst., with the Allgemeine Zeitung to the 19th, have been received this morning, but they con tain little political news. A contagious dis temper has broken out in a village in Holland, which possesses great virulence—the bodies of the victims to it turning quite black. The fair at Leipsic seems to go off much better than was expected, although the prices are rather low. The late King of SAXON Y has left an immense fortune, three millions sterling, to his unmarried daughter. This fact will no doubt make the Princes of Germany very uneasy : BRUSSELS, MAY 19. Since the beginning of April a contagious distemper has afflicted the village of Autgaerde, near Terlement. In six weeks 17 persons have died, though the whole population is under 400 souls, and above '7O persons, among whom is the Rector, are confined to their beds. The nature of this epidemic is not known, we can only say that the bodies of those who die turn quite black. The oldest banking•heuse in our city, that of Michael Van Schoors and Son-, has suspended payment. MAY 20.—A British Cabinet Messenger passed through this city yesterday afternoon, on his way from Constan tinople to London, with despatches. An Austrian Cabinet Messenger, from Vienna, also going to London, with despatches, passed through this morning. We think it our duty to inform the merchants, in order to allay the uneasiness they may have felt on learning that the bank of Van Shoors had suspended its payments, that all the losses on the owners of real property. It is even affirmed that the family of this banking-house, whose in solvency is caused by the bankruptcy of a house at Vienna, will intervene, and that the creditors tray hope to be, in the end, paid in full. MAY 22.—A German Journal says, that the late King of Saxony has left to the Princess Augusta, his only un married daughter, a fortune of 18 millions of dollars (three millions sterling) from his private fortune. Accounts from Leipsic of the 6th of May say, the number of strangers who have come to the fair, is already considerable. The town is full of Wallachians, Greeks, Russians, Poles, and Jews : there are likewise some Per sians and Armenians. So far, extensive business has been done, and there have been large sales of the following articles in particular:—.leather, ordinary woollen cloths, furs, silks, and English manufactures : the sellers, it is true, complain of the low prices which they are obliged to accept ; but considering the great quantity of goods in the market, we must not be surprised at this. FRANKFORT, MAY 19. In consequence of the improvements that have already been introduced, a traveller may now go from Hamburgh in six days and a half, with post-horses, to Vienna, for 43 dollars, and stop by the way fifteen hours at Berlin, three hours at Dresden, and nine hours at Prague. The journey from Vienna to Rome is peiformed for 79 florins, in five days, by way of Trieste, Venice, Bologna, and Ancona. HAMBURGII, MAY S. Thursday the General Assembly of the Citizens agreed to the proposal of the Senate, to erect one great building instead of the several prison houses of correction and work houses now existing in the City, and it was desired that a plan and estimate should be laid before the Assembly as soon as possible. The Senate then proposed to relieve the Theatre from the duty of 12 per cent. on the gross receipt which it has hitherto paid to the Exchequer, which was also agreed to, and thus saves the Managerie about 20,000 marks per an num, and which may be employed in improving the ward robe, &c. It happened that this resolution coincided with the opening of the new Theatre, which is highly admired for its convenience and elegance. The citizens also consented to an additional grant of 66,000 marks Banco (about 60001.) to complete the steeple of St. James's Church, and to a pension of 5000 dollars to Major Toder Hurst, for his 27 years' services. If any reliance can be placed on the rumours which reach us from Paris relative to the state of the negotiations which Lord DUDLEY stated in the House of Peers were going on, and upon the result of which depended the important question of whether the British Army should be withdrawn from Portugal, we should be led to conclude that it is not probable that such a mea sure will be adopted. It has been well under stood that this question mainly depends upon the determination of France with respect to the withdrawal of her armies from Spain ; for al though our Government are desirous that the Constitution of Portugal shall be maintained, still our Army would not be kept there for that purpose, if no interference with the affairs of Portugal were probable by other 'Countries. Such interference is not impossi ble, as long as the Armies of France remain in Spain, and therefore so long as that is the case, - we shall of course maintain our army in Portugal. Now it had been stated, that the Government of France had appeared to listen to the wishes of Great Britain to withdraw her Army from the Peninsula, and that the negocia tions had so far advanced favorably as to lead to the expectation that the evacuation would take place about the Ist of October. Subsequent accounts, however, from France state, we know not how correctly, that the French Government have retracted their consent to any arrangement of the nature proposed, and that their Army will continue to occupy Spain. For ourselves, we have never for a moment believed that France would abandon Spain, and we have ventured to express doubts of her sincerity in respect to her conduct with reference to Portugal. We shall not repeat opinions which may hate been erroneous, but wait the communication to Parliament of the result of the negociations before we draw any final conclu sions. We are however satisfied that Great Britain will continue to act with moderation, but with firmness ; and, that our Ministers will not be backward either in discerning the views of France, or in taking measures consistent with the honour of this country or the security of our Ally, if such measures should become necessary. Extract of a Letter from Caraccas, dated Carthagena, March 27 : GENTLEMEN-Since our last advises we have nothing in the way of business to communicate; indeed, the poli tical state of the country has suspended all commercial ope rations for some weeks past. The accounts received within the last few days, from Peru, announcing the movements of the Colombian troops at Lima, in favour of this Consti tution as it now exists, which seems to be a blow aimed at the power and influence of General Bolivar, will, we fear, add to the increasing embarrassment of this Republic. It is impossible to hazard an opinion as to the probable conse quences to commerce which may result from this state bf affairs. * * w * General Bolivar has evidently lost some proportion of his political influence by his long absence in Peru. It is, however, the opinion of the best-informed in this place that it will require little energy on his part to enable him to re gain it, in which case the internal affairs of the State may possibly be placed upon a permanent footing. It may here be necessary to observe, that we feel no apprehension at pre sent as to the security of foreign property in this city; and we wish it to be understood that the foregoing is intended merely to record our sentiments at the present crisis, as well as to act as a precaution to our friends in the present state of the affairs of Colombia. We mentioned in our Paper of yesterday the receipt of Papers from Rio de Janeiro to the 6th April, which made no mention of the great battle which for some days has been reported to have taken place between the forces of Brazil and those of Buenos Ayres, in Rio Grande, about the 26th February, but mentioned an action which was described as of a trifling nature, to have taken place on the 20th. We have, how ever, since received Buenos Ayres Papers to the 12th March, which describe the battle between the armies of these two States on the 20th to have been most decisive, terminating in favour of the Buenos Ayreans, and likely to lead to most important events in that part of South America. It appears that the two armies had been ma nceuvring at no distance from each other, from the 12th February to the 19th, when they came in sight and prepared for a general battle. At sun-rise on the 20th, the contending armies met on the field of Ituzaingo, and a sanguinary contest ensued, the success of which for a time seems to have been doubtful, but finally the Imperial Army gave way and left on the field of battle 1,200 killed, amongst whom were several General and other Officers, the whole of its baggage, parks, ten pieces of artillery, and two standards. The loss of the Buenos Ayreans is stated at 500 killed. The Republicans followed up their successes and continued to pursue the retreating army up to the 26th, when they entered San Gabriel and took up a position on the Bacacay. It is impossible at present to estimate the effect which this victory over the Imperialists may have on the affairs of Brazil. One of its most valuable provinces has been separated from it, and the establishment of a Republican Go vernment in that which was an integral part of the Empire, may place the whole Empire in a position of extreme danger. We have given in another column all the details which the papers afford. We are informed that the gun-boats so gallantly captur ed from the Brazilians in the River Uruguay, by Admiral Brown, with his small naval force, are vessels of a formi dable description, clinker built, and are from 55 to 70 tons burthen, armed with a long 18 or 24 pounder on a pivot at the bow, with four or six short guns each„ and from their lying so low in the water, are of a very destructive nature, and will aid the Buenos Ayrian naval force ma terially in annoying the Imperial blockading squadron. THE FUNDS-(THIS DAY). CITY, Twelve o' Cloch. 'I his being settling day in the English Funds the chief attention of the Brokers and speculators has been to the arrangement of their respective accounts ; hitherto every thing looks smooth, and there is an appearance of the settle ment being adjusted without mischief.

The Journal des Debats has a strong article censuring the Government for having struck the name of M. HYDE DE NEUVILLE Off the list of retired Ambassadors, which it designates an act of deep ingratitude, after the twenty years of persecution, devotion, and almost fabulous mis fortunes, which he • endured while faithfully ad hering to the cause of the Royal Family during the period of their banishment. The affairs of the East will shortly become of high interest. Lord COCHRANE, as Lord High Admiral of the Grecian Fleet, is at sea, for the avowed purpose of meeting the Egyptian Squadron, and part of the Ottoman Fleet which has joined it. The PACHA of Egypt, appears by a private letter in the Constituionnel, to be making great efforts to equip the expedition fitting at Alexandria, and to insure to it success, but he has yet to learn the difficulties lie will have to encounter when opposed by a man of the enterprise and naval skill of Lord COCHRANE.

ILWEV Lord ELDON sat to hear this part-heard appeal from an original decree made by his Honour the Vice-Chancellor. The House was extremely thinly attended, there having been only two or three Members besides the Noble and Learned Lord present during the greater part of the morning. No point of interest occurred. COURT OF CHANCERY. The LORD CHANCELLOR was fully expected to have sat, either in his own Court or in the House of Lords, but he made his appearance in neither. Many persons attended here, who were informed that his Lordship would not sit till to-morrow, having had to attend to public business elsewhere. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT. BUSINESS OE, THE COURT. Mr. HORNE applied itmt the case of Bowes v. Strathmore, might be advanced in the paper for further directions. If it came on in its regular course the delay this caused would be of the most serious injury to the parties. The VICE-CHANCELLOR repeated nearly in as many words the remarks which fell from him in the course of last week, as to the expediency of proceed ing immediately after the present term, with the further directions de die in diem, with the exception only of the seal days. THE EAST INDIA COMPANY V. CHAMPION. In this case an issue shad been directed, and the question was come on for trial before the Court of Common Pleas. Mr. HORNE now moved that the Lord Chief Justice might be requested to furnish his notes of the trial, in order that they might be read in a mo tion which the Learned Gentleman intended to sub mit to his Honour. Some mistake had occurred in the proceedings, and the Lord Chief Justice Best had declared that nothing was in fact tried but his patience.—(A laugh.) The VICE-CHANCELLOR observed, that according to the scale laid down by the Lord Chancellor, no order could be made to see the notes of the Judge until Counsel had in the first instance stated an out line of their objections to the trial. It could be then seen whether it was proper to trouble the Judge for his notes. Mr. HORNE, after again insisting that no satisfac tory trial had taken place, said that common law lawyers now acted upon the idea that they were better masters of equity practice than gentlemen who had been all their lives conversant:with it. The VICE CHANCELLOR said he must follow the practice as laid down by the Lord Chancellor. [lt was finally settled that Mr. Horne should con sult with the Counsel on the other side, and men tion the matter again on Monday next.] COURT OF KING'S BENCH. Mr. Justice BAILEY sat during the early part of the morning, and tried a number of undefended ac tions. SITTINGS IN BANCO. IZALSI V. SIR C. /IAWYINS, BART. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL stated, that this was an action brought by Mr. Halle against Sir C. Hawkins, for malicious prosecutions. There had been no less than seven prosecutions, and the motion now was that the Court should order the records on the prosecutions to be given up to the plaintiff, to be adduced as evidence on the trial of the action. The COURT granted a rule to show cause to be heard in the last day of Term. THE BAIL COURT. Mr. Justice LITTLICDALE sat for some time to hear justifications of bail. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. The Court heard a justification of bail in the early part of the day, and then proceeded to sit in Banco, but nothing of public interest transpired previous to our going to press. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. The Court was occupied this morning in hearing motions in equity. Mr. Wm. Brougham, Who has succeeded Mr. Wray to what is g enerally desig nated the office of "Equity Devil," appeared for the Crown in several of the motions. SOCIETY FOR THE PROPAGATION OF THE GOSPEL IN FOREIGN PARTS. A Meeting of the friends and supporters of this Institution, was held at the Freemason's Tavern, this day at one o'clock. The Chair was taken by his Grace the Aacii- BISHOP Of CANTERBURY. The Report of the progress which the Society had made, through the exertions of the Bishop% of Quebec and Calcutta, was then read by the Secre tary. It contained an interesting account of the proceedings of the Institution, since the last Annual Meeting. It lamented, however, the great dispro portion of the religious teachers, to the increased and daily increasing population of our North American Colonies. It proposed, therefore, to increase the number of the Missionaries and Schoolmasters. At the conclusion of the Report, several excellent speeches were made, to which we regret our limits prevent us doing justice. TUNBRIDGE WEL Ls.—A Royal Personage intends honouring the Wells this season with his presence, and we are happy to state that Mount Pleasant House is taken for the occasion, and undergoing the necessary alteration and improve ment.—Brighton Gazette. At an Auction in this City on Friday, Wor cester and Birmingham Canal Shares sold at the rate of from 481. to 511. each, including Auction duty.— Worcester Journal., An ancient partisan named Borbon has made his appearance in Old Castile at the head of a band. It is said, that during the year 1826, the Jesuits have increased their fortunes 25 mil lions of francs. Mr. James Abercromby has been formally ap pointed Judge-Marshal and • Advocate-General, an office of considerable importance in itself, but which sinks to nothing in comparison with the character of the individual who is now to discharge its duties, and the circumstances under which he has accepted it. We look upon this as the best evidence yet afforded that the proba bilities are all in favour of the new Administra tion being secure, and of their being able to realize some practical good. We do not found this opinion on the well-known fact, that in ac cepting this office, Mr. Abercromby sa crifices much in expectation, and not a little even in present emolument. This, we believe, he could have done for the chance of being useful to his country ; but distinguished as he is for soundness of judgment, circumspection, and the value he sets on reputation, we are per suaded that he would not have taken the step he has done, or sanctioned what others are yet to do, without having something like moral certainty that Mr. Canning would be able to hold power, and willing to employ it for the national advan tage. We are convinced also—on the strength of his general character—that Mr. Abercromby has not lost sight of his native country, and that he will never make part and parcel of an Ad ministration, which shall deliver over Scotland as a patrimony to an individual, or any knot of aristocratical families. Our country will now form an integral part of the Empire, and reap some of the benefits of enlightened Government. .-,Scotsman. SHIPPING .INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY•) FROM LLOYD'S.

ANOTHER BASE COIN DEPOT.—John Warner, a_ lls , l ' Griffiths, and Elizabeth Ha rve y, were b roug ht b e f o re L. Roccas, Esq., at the instance of the Mint authorities , for re-examination, under the following capital charge' several private examinations of which have taken place On the 25th April, in consequence of information re' , ceived the preceding night, Limbrick and three other:, officers proceeded to No. 16, Little Chesterfield-street. Marylebone, and found the two prisoners at break'.;' fast. They were immediately secured, and, from the ari l pearance of their hands, had evidently been employed int colouring counterfeit coin, a vast quantity of which vie" lying on the table. When the male prisoner rose, some , money was heard to fall from him, and on searching undec,,,, the chair on which be had been sitting, some counterfeit; shillings were found. In the room were 24 half-,crowns'.: - three sovereigns, and an immense quantity of shillings and sixpences, all counterfeit, most of which appeared to ha" but recently eome from the die, while others were fit ler circulation. There was also found, colouring-powde r ' scouring-paper, vitriol, and various other articles used IA the different processes. —The prisoners were then brought to the office, and from there, after a private examination', taken to the House of Correction, where they have since re mained. The prisoners offered nothing in their defence, and were fully collimated for trial on the charge of colouring. THAMES TUNNEL-(THIS DAY.) In consequence of a report that had reached us that the exertions of Mr. Brunel had been successful in closing the aperture into the tunnel, we this morning made inquiries into the correctness of the fact, and are now most happy tO . confirm its truth. The leakage, or rather the rush of water has been stopped, and the engine is rapidly draining off the fluid. It commenced working at one o'clock Ye'" terday, and, by six o'clock in the evening, so far exhausted the shaft of its contents, that the upper brickwork of the parallel archways was distinctly visible. Mr. Brunel the° gave orders that the pumping should cease, as his object was, for the present, to reduce the body of water in th e shaft jut so much as would leave a sufficiently preponde: rating weight over where the apertur e was, to condense e . t l a give a consistency to the material whi c h h a d boon appl e for its stoppage. It was intended by the workmen to have eelebrated Brunel's successful exertions this morning by a processielt but the day turning out very ut , favourable, the thing is, for the present, postponed.
