The following remarkable memorial is in the handwriting of the Earl of Marchmont : " King William, with his army, perceived King James and his army, before the battle of the Boyne, three days, at last came up with him, and seeing King James his army from a rising ground, with only the water betwixt them, so near, that one could have [been] known, the King took off his hat, and said, " Gentlemen, I am glad to see you ; if you get away from me now, it shall be my fault :" and then asked Duke Schomberg if he had his canteens there with any thing to eat. They lighted from their horses, and a table-cloth being laid upon the grass, they went to breakfast till the army, which was coming up, should arrive at the camp, that was marked out for it. While at breakfast, a party of the enemy's horse came to the other side of the water, near to where they sat. The King said, we must not be surprised while at breakfast, and ordered a party of one hiindred dragoons down to the. water-side. The two parties shot at one another all the time of breakfast, which done, they alt mounted a horseback again. While this was a doing, they observed the enemy bring down two cannon to the plain just below, drawn by grey horses; and as the King and that small company were stepping along viewing the enemy, the first shot from the cannon struck on the Prince of Darmstadt's pistols, so that his horse, a white one, dropped down with - his belly to the ground ; the King called out, " Ah ! le pauvre Prince de Darmstadt est tue !" Immedi ately after, a second shot hit the King on the shoulder, which made him bend down on his horse's neck, upon which there was a huzza through the enemy's army, believing him to be killed. _The ball had just grazed upon his shoul der, tore away his clothes, and scooped out about the breadth of a crown of the flesh of his shoul- der. The King stepped on a little further, and then, having bled a good deal, had a handker chief pushed under his clothes, to cover the wound till it should be dressed. It was for some time believed by the army that the King was killed ; and Earl Selkirk, who was with [the] King, and from whom I had these particulars, galloped to Count Solms, who had been upon the head of the foot, whom he found lying upon his face on the ground crying, and told him the King was well. He would not believe him till Selkirk asked him if he did not see who it was that came riding along the line on a black horse, and then the Count embraced him in a transport of joy. The Count loved the King much, and [was] esteemed by him. The wound kept open for above three months, mattered much, and did the King so much good, that he had much better health than usual, and w as the reason why his physicians put [an] issue into his shoulder after, which did him much good. Providence, if attended to, must be admired and reverenced. The King, when he was ill used in England, as, to our shame, he often was, said, " Well! they use me very ill ; but my head will be short while under ground, till they would be glad to scratch me out again with their nails ;" which did not fail to happen often since. He used to say upon those occasions, t , I am a Protestant, so cannot ; • but if I was Popish, I would leave this people to themselves."—The Marchmont Papers. LENT ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. GLOUCESTER, APRIL 4. George Hemming, a very respectable-lookin g man, was charged with assaulting Margaret Daley, with intent to commit a capital felony. Margaret Daley, a very good-looking girl, said— lam eleven years and a half old. I had worked for the prisoner, who is a basket-maker. On the 2d and 3d of February, at about one o'clock, I was in the kitchen at the prisoner's house. He took his handkerchief off his neck - , and tied it over my mouth. He then locked the kitchen door, and, having done so, he led me into the pantry, and committed the assault in question ; after that he took the handkerchief from my mouth, and told me to hold my tongue. He then unlocked the door, and I went up stairs. This happened on a Wed nesday or Thursday, and I told my sister of it o n the Tuesday following. Cross-examined—l am eleven yeas and six months old. I bad been three weeks in the pri soner's employ. I never said to Agnes Hyat that my master had threatened to turn me off, and that I would do him an injury for it. I did not say so much to her; my friends forbade me speaking to her, because she had bad discourse. I was in the pantry near an hour. The prisoner gave me 6d., and said he would kill me if I told. Mr. James Prowse said—l am a surgeon at Bristol. I was sent for to examine Magaret Daley, and found her suffering from disease ; and there were also appearances which might have have been caused by violence, but which might have arisen from other causes. The girl was well in about a week. Mr. WATSON addressed the Jury for the de fendant. Agnes Hyatt said-1 work for the prisoner, who is a basket-maker; he is a married man. I know the proF,ecutrix, who was also in his service. I have heaid Mr. Hemming threaten to turn her away. She said, before that, that Mr. Hemming had better not turn her away, for she would do him some mischief. After she went away I had a con versation with her : she said Mr. Hemming had as saulted her twice, and given her sixpence on each occasion : at another time she said it was all in fun. I did not tell this to any body. I did not like to make mischief. George Lloyd said—l lived in Bristol in February last, in the same house as Mr. Hemming. The number of persons who lived in the house was 32. I occupied the room over the pantry ; and on the Wednesday or Thursday on which this-matter . said to have occurred I was at work in that room. I did not hear any screaming. The Jury, after a short deliberation, returned a verdict of Guilty.—Eighteen months' imprisonment. CHESTER, APRIL •t. Thomas Goulden, a medical practitioner at Stock• port, was pin to the bar, charged with the wilful murder of one Margaret Sykes, at Stockport, on the 29th of October last. The case is, in substance, as follows :—The pri soner is a medical practitioner at Stockport, hav►ng been so previous to 1815, and ti►e deceased was a married woman, in humble circumstances, living in a cellar at Stockport. In November, 1829, she suf fered greatly in her confinement, insomuch that the midwife who attended her thought it necessary to have professional assistance. The prisoner was ac cordingly called in, and he, with the assistance of instruments, succeeded in delivering the woman of a dead child. When it was all over, she excla►mod " Thank God." Prisoner said, " Don't thank God for anything about it; thank me—God had nothing WAVERLEY NOVELS. —NEW EDITION. vOLUME VIII. of this Work, which V completes KENILWORTH, was published this day, price ss.

The Chester Quarter Sessions commenced this day (Monday) be fore TRAFFORD TRAFFORD' s E g Chairman, and a ful l bench of Magistrates. The calendar . is very heavy, there bein g one hundred and nine prisoners for ti ial : some of the m, it is true, charged with very slight offences, although the expence of the prosecutions to the county is very serious. One girl was committed for trial, and exposed to the contamination of a gaol, for stealing " a child's pinafore, of the value of one penny !" It was discussed at the private meeting of the Magistrates whether or not the plan adopted at Middlesex and other counties, of not allowing the fees of Counsel for prosecu. tions out of the county r ate should be adopted. The m at ter produced a warm discus sion, and was negatived for the present. to do with it." On that occasion he told the de ceased, in the presence of the women in attendance, that her next child would kill her; but that, if she came to him, when she was about two or three months gone in. her pregnancy, he would make her miscarry; but it was " hangable" if it was known ; the deceased asked if it would hurt her, and pri soner replied that it would not ; he said he hail sometimes 10s. 61. for doing it, and some times ii, according to the circumstances of the par ties; in the early part of October last, the deceased, being then pregnant, went to the prisoner'shouse,and had an interview with him, for which she paid him Gs.; but what actually took place on that occasion did not appear, but, in the course of a day or two afterwards, she exhibited all the usual appearances of a woman who had recently miscarried, and, in point of fact, was delivered of a foetus of about three months' gestation ; the prisoner continued to attend her, and sent her physic; she daily grew worse, and languished until the 29th of October, when she died ; the deceased, when in articuto mortis, two days before she died, on.the occasion of the prisoner-going away, after paying her a visit, shook her.head, and said, " Oh T. that's the rascal that - has killed me." After the deceased was buried the - thing became bruited about; an inquiry was in stituted, and the body disinterred, examined by a surgeon, and a Coroner's inquest held upon it, the result of which was a verdict of Manslaughter against the prisoner, who immediately absconded. An application on his part to the Court of King's Bench to be admitted to bail before the Magistrates below having been refused, he kept out of the way until the first day of the Assizes, when he sur rendered.to take his trial. Mr. Joseph Belliott, of Stockport, the surgeon who made the post mortem examination of the body, described the appearances, to be such as would at tend a recent miscarriage, but it was impossible for him to say what was the cause of death. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL here abandoned the case, and the Jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty. THE FRENCH LOAN. The folio wing is a copy of the circular issued re lative to the French loan about to be contracted. I appears that France wishes to raise 120,000,000 of francs in capital—that is nearly 5,000,0001. sterling —which will require the issue of between 6,000,000 and 7,000,000 of five per cent. rentes : " Paris, April 1. . " The French Government having given notice of their intention to contract fur a lean of 120,000,000 of francs i❑ capital, we have the honour to inform you that we have joined a company, composed of the leading establishments of this place, for the purpose of bidding for the same.

" The Minister of Finances having fixed the 19th in stant for the adjudication of the loan, the price we shall offer will, of course, he regulated by any circumstances which may occur in the interval.

Our Minister of State Finances is authorized to proceed to the sale, by public tender, &e., sealed proposals, of a loan of rentes sufficient to produce a capital of 120 mil- lions of francs. " This sale shall be made in rentes of 5 per cent., with dividends commencing from the 22d inst., 1831, and shall he awarded to the party whu shall offer to take the rentes at the highest price.'"

In its com mencement, the petition sets forth that the plan of conversion an d ex change clearly implies an act of bankruptcy, and the t tf that it exhibits at the same time an impudent scheme of deception for the purpose of extorting more money from t h e pockets of Frenchmen. The petitioners express their conviction that nothing less was in view than to intro duce new bonds into circulation and obtain value on theme, i n order to supply the pressing pecuniary wants of the Spanish Government, and more particularly thereby to provide for the payment of the 17,000,000 francs divi dends which will be due on the Ist of July. They re present that the 20,000,000 of reals as a 3 per cent. rente, which M. Actiano is authorised to issue, repre sent a capital of 666,000,000: supposing that all the Cortes' bonds were offered for the exchange proposed, the fifth of their capital which would have to undergo the conversion at 3 per cent. would require an issue of no more thanuie libertydto a aboutp place to e O 0,000,000.

PARIS, APRIL 4.—The Austrians were at the gates of Bologna on the 21st, and entered the town on the 22d. On the following day, 23d, Cardinal Oppiztoni, a Legate, and Civil Governor on the part of the Pope, took possession of the authority. His first act was to order a Tc Deunz to be sung, in ho nour of the victory gained over the independence and liberty of the Italians. The Austrians did not remain at Bologna. The corpi d'armee continued its march forwards in three columns. The French Ministry has declared that it de manded explanations upon this movement of the Austrians, which had been commenced without our Cabinet having the slightest idea of the circumstance. We cannot see what other answer can be given br the Cabinet of Vienna, but that an application for assistance had been made by the Pope. Neither can we imagine what objection can be made on the part of our Government, as it has given up, in a great degree, the doctrine of non-interven tion, such as was at first understood. Will the Austrians be required to evacuate Ro magnia ? This is a question which it would be foolish to assert positively; and, on the other hand, it is doubtful whether a great power like Austria would obey such a summons. There will be no war, and what proves that peace will not be interrupted is, that,notwithstanding the progress of the Austrians, across Romagna, a march well known at Paris since yesterday, the Moniteur of this morning states that no change has taken place since the declarations made by the Ministers from the tribune, and that the explanations which have been required will produce . certain answers and replies. (From the Centric,. Francais.) We are informed that M. Badelle, rector of the academy of Rouen, has ordered a seminary of Eng lish Jesuits, formed at Dieppe, to be closed. The 'ector displayed considerable firmness on the occasion, (From the National of Monday.) Messss.'Z•ingiacomi and Lascoul, assistant Judges of the Tribunal of First Instance, have refused the office of Assistant and Attorney-General, now vacant by the dismissal of Messrs. Staurm, Lebreton, and Lanjuinais, for having become members of the Na tional Association. (From the Globe of Monday.) M. Adam Gurowski, who played a distinguished part in the Warsaw insurrection, arrived in Paris with despatches from his Government. Eighty officers of the garrison of Metz have sent in their adhesion to the Association; and all the Lieutenants of the Ist Regiment of Engineers, sta tioned at Arras, have likewise become members of that Society. BOLOGNA, MARCH 22.—After four days' fighting between Novi and Modena, General Zucchi, obliged to yield to superior numbers, retired on the territory of Bologna, bringing with him two pieces of brass cannon and six small iron guns, a large supply of military stores, and between three or four millions of francs taken out of the treasury. That sum has been placed in the hands of a safe agent, and will be applied to defray the expense of the defence of the free provinces. FLORENCE, 111A.Rcll 24.—Sixteen hundred Aus trians, marching on Rome, have passed through Florence. Tuscany is beginning to ferment. The sight of those troops has indisposed the population ; and it is most likely that country will not long pre serve the tranquillity it has heretofore enjoyed. (From Galignani's Messenger of Monday.) Ten or twelve General Officers, says the Tribune, yesterday morning received orders to proceed im mediately to posts on the north-east frontier, and they all set out last night. The young King of Naples continues to gain the affection of his subjects. Notwithstanding his eco nomy, be diffuses cheerfulness and pleasure around him. Thus he frequently visits the theatres, espe cially the Florentine, where the tragedies of Alfieri are acted with great taste, and contributes by his presence to their success. Extract of a letter from Bologna, dated the 22d ult.:—" The Government of Bologna, before it withdrew from the town, placed its authority in the hands of a Commission, presided by Professor Gia comelli, who waited upon General Frimont yester day to inquire his intentions. The General in formed him that he came to re-establish the autho rity of the Pope throughout the insurgent pro vinces, and should send troops wherever the factions had overthrown the legitimate Government. The General lends himself with the utmost complaisance to the numerous arrests called for by Cardinal Appizzoni, who has been named Legate a laterc for the four legations of Bologna, Ravenna, Ferrara, and Forli. Several officers of the National Guards, who had not quitted the town, have already been arrested in pursuance of a demand under his hand. We are expecting to witness some terrible acts of vengeance." Extract of a letter of the 28th ult. from Milan : —" On the 25th, two Hungarian regiments, 1,200 borsemett, and 16 pieces of cannon, advanced from Forli to St. Angelo, and dispersed the patriots who were assembled there. On the same day they pro ceeded as far as Urbino. Another column, of 8,000 men, is marching, by Lonzono and Fejano, upo❑ Fioransuola. General Frimont is endeavouring to prevent the re-union of the forces of the patriots, who are moving towards Recanoti, Camerino, and Toler:- tino ; but it is probable that Generals Zucchi and Grabinski are aware of the intentions of the Austrian General. Letters from Rome state that Cardinal Weld has afforded the greatest service to the Papal Government during the late events. His eminence procured a loan of 500,000 Roman crowns upon his estates in England. These funds enabled Cardinal Bernetti to effect a counter-revolution in the rebel lious provinces, and prevent an insurrection at Rome and in the Camarca. The Hamburg Correspondent gives the following extract of a letter from Berlin, dated March 24 : For some days past we have had among us the young Prince Czartoryski, son of the President of the National Government of Poland, and Aide-de- Camp to General Chlopieki. It is presumed that he has come to ascertain how far our King may be disposed to take upon himself the part of a mediator for peace. A letter from Frankfort states that the inhabi tants of the Caucasus, who have never been able to reconcile themselves to the yoke of Russia, and have seized every opportunity to get rid of the garrisons which the Russian Government keep up amongst them at a very heavy expense, upon finding that the Emperor Nicholas was drawing all his forces towards the west, have risen in insurrection, and already obtained some a dvantages. The writer of the letter adds—" It is also currently reported that Persia has declared war against Russia ; and that if the Com pany, with whom the Porte contracted to furnish 40,000 muskets and as many sabres, had fulfilled their engagement, Turkey also, in all probability, would have come to a rupture. Of all the Powers engaged in the new coalition against France, Russia, perhaps, is the least to be feared, on account of the embarrassments created by het neighbours."— Tribune. The Coninzercial Gazette of St. Petersburgh, of the 19th ult., gives an extract of an account ren• dared by the Minister of the Finances for the year 830, relat've to the foreign trade, from which it from the frontiers. (From the .Tournal des Debuts of Tuesday.) On the 14th of February last, at about eleven at night, a crowd of young men, who were said to be students, and a number of workmen, proceeded from the faubourg St. Jacques to the house of M..Dupitt, Member of the Chamber of Deputies, in the rue Coq-Heron, No. 5. Cries of " Death to Dupin and " Dupin's head I." were uttered in the street, and even in the Court-yard of the house, into which some of the party had entered. Thanks to the cou rage displayed on that occasion by a serjeant of the National Guard, the agitators dispersed. (From Galignani's Messenger of Tuesday.) Orders are said to have been transmitted to Toulon for fitting out divers gun-boats and brigs stationed in that port. These vessels, to the num ber of eight or ten, are to sail as soon as possible, and cruise off the coasts of Italy and Spain, in order to observe the movements which are taking place in those countries. h is stated that orders have been forwarded to the arsenal at Metz to prepare immediately 13 new batteries, with their train and accessories. We hear that six batteries have received orders to leave Vincennes for the north-east frontier. The rise in the Funds yesterday, seems to be en tirely owing to financial causes. It was stated on 'Change that the Minister of the Finances, on learn ing the bad effect produced on the public credit by the announcement of three successive loans, is di.- posed to treat with an English Company for the negotiation of a considerable sum in Treasury Bills at a long date, which would supersede the necessity of effecting the loan announced for the 19th ult. We give this without vouching for its truth. But if it be founded, Ministers will, no doubt, explain themselves without delay, in order to stop, in the interest of commerce, the displacing capital which they have called for.--Journal du Commerce. The following report," says the Courrier Frau cais, " was current yesterday upon the state of the diplomatic negotiations :—lt is said that, upon the question of the intervention of Austria in the Duchy of ParMa and Placentia, England, without fully con curring in the pretensions of the Cabinet of Vienna, has declared that it cannot give rise to opposition by arms on the part of France. The French Cabi net admits this doc t.ne. As to the question of the Romagna, it is stated that the note of France, which is couched in firm and precise terms, was con certed verbally with the English Ambassador. M. Perrier, jun., was charged to carry it to London. It was affirmed that intelligence was received of the full and unreserved adhesion of England, who ad mits the right of France to declare war in case Atis rria should not evacuate the Romagna. A Congress is to meet at Rome for the solution of all the que,- ions:' ._. The Augsburg Gazette has the following extract of a letter from Hamburg, dated March 23 :—" Our military authorities are very active in organising - and completing the federal contingent, as by an order re ceived from the Diet these troops are to be on the frontiers of Luxembourg by the end of April. The belief is an approaching and probably wide-spreading war, and is gaining ground, and has already exerted some influence on several articles of commerce. Private letters from Sweden state that the Emperor of Russia has applied to the Government of that kingdom to furnish him with 10,000 auxiliary troops, as promised by the Holy Alliance. A report was current on the 18th at Stockholm that a French and English fleet would appear in the Baltic in the beginning of the summer." The _Memorial Bordelais contains the following intelligence, dated Madrid, March 26:—" From the direction taken by the public mind in Spain for some time past, it is almost certain that a violent commo tion will shortly subvert this country, if our Govern ment continue to refuse to the nation the ameliora tions wished for in the political system by which it is governed." CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES, Aram 1. The Chamber commenced the preparatory discus sion of the project of law concerning the extra ordinary taxes called for by the Minister of Finances. M. Salverte rose to oppose the granting of the vote of credit, and stated that the patriotism of the Chamber had been put to a grave trial. The de mand of new taxes was, he understood, to be fol lowed by other demands of the same kind, which the close of the Session—believed to be impending— would preclude the Chamber from examining with the attention they deserved. He then adverted to the modification introduced in the electoral law by the Chamber of Peers, and commented at consider able length on the internal and external policy of the Cabinet. He next alluded to M. Casimer Perrier's first declaration to the Chamber, which he remarked was more pacific in its tendency than his last, and adjured him, before he entertained the hope of com pelling Europe to disarm, to weigh well the value, and convince himself of the sincerity, of diplomatic assurances. The Chamber knew how illusory all the treaties made with France for the last forty years have been, not a single one of which—not one—had been signed by the opposite parties with out a firm determination to violate it on the slightest pretext. It was only those which were injurious to the country that the foreigners were so scru pulous to maintain. M. Salverte then recommended strongly an alliance between France and Eng land, for securing the liberty of Europe, and the execution of which he deemed perfectly practicable. He afterwards challenged the Ministry to declare if the necessary changes had been made in the diplo matic agents of France. " For instance," says he, " who is our Consul in Edinburgh, the most impor tant or us at the present time ?" With respect to the fear of an explosion in the western departments (La Vendee), M. Salverte supposed that the danger from that quarter was not imminent, as the Govern-• ment had thought proper to remove General La n-argue fiorn that commaad. " Nevertheless," said he, ‘. I can assure the Ministry that the Carlists of La Vendee are not idle. At Vitre an Association has been lately formed (not a patriotic one of course), and its contributions are not 25 centimes per month, as those of the National Association, but eight per cent. on the amount of the direct taxes paid by the members. I vouch for the accuracy of this statement, for I have received it from our col league, M. Bertrois." M. Salverte concluded by again denying the expediency of granting the vote of credit called for, and voted against it. M. Thouvenel said, that the social body was at tacked by a burning fever.—(A Member exclaimed, " M. Thouvenel is ;a celebrated physician.")—Our Governors may be compared to those inexperienced physicians, who, not knowing what kind of disease torments the social body, are ignorant of s bat remedy to apply. If Minister s, Gentlemen, wish to render the royalty of Louis Philip immovable a midst the storms of a revolution, let them hasten to cast anchor upon the popular soil; let them employ, to navigate the vessel of the State, such men alone as are skilful, and interested in saving themselves or in perishing with it. this at A m dm om ira e l nt d to e Ri okt g h n e y o , Ministerath tonisnme hearing. many lion. ut ssed e I'li"; the Gvetu- M em . 6 , i l rs .uort:di sm iii;ng pub me ta to use larg el y ie its ege v oid not be requit ed is revolution as the last, c ea ch a and h of the M.
