THIS invaluabl e M e di c i ne h as b een a F am il y Secret for a number of years, during which time it has been used with the most complete success, and is now for the first time offered to the public as an effectual remedy for that disease ; many patients who have been sent from the hospitals as incurable, besides numerous others, have been perfectly restored by its means. Quart bottles may be had at I/. each, or pints at 10s., at 1, Elder-street, Spital-square, where also satisfactory proofs of its efficacy will be given. The cure is completed in nine days, two quart bottles being sufficient. It is proper to remark, that the medicine is perfectly innocent in its operations, and may be taken by infants with the most perfect safety. Paticuta may be seen from ten till one on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. NEW COLONY. The projeeted new settlement, to which we re cently alluded, at Western Port in New South Wales, we • find (from the Asiatic Journal) was actually formed in November last. In that month his Majesty's ship Fly carried a number of settlers, convicts, and labourers, from Port Jackson to the place in question. The stores were landed, and a temporary fort erected on Philip's Island, which covers the natural bay, and afterwards a site was chosen on the mainland, on the eastern branch or channel of the estuary of Bass's River. The soil was found to be fertile, and partially covered with timber, and the bay afforded ample stores of fish. A want of fresh water was at first dreaded, but a sufficient supply was subsequently discovered. The most material disadvantage attaching to the situa tion were the banks of mud which line the shores of the bay, and render the navigation difficult or dan gerous ; and perhaps it may be the exhalations arising from these banks which had produced some degree of unhealthiness among the settlers. When the Fly left the colony, however, its situation was considered promising. This new colony is • about 300 miles south-west of Sydney, and about 200 north of Port DalryMple in Van Diemen's Land, from which it is separated by Bass's Straits. About 10 miles to the westward of Western Port, lies Port Philip, a magnificent natural harbour, 20 or 2. Miles in diameter, encircled on all sides by lands covered with timber, and which may probably soon be the seat-of an auxiliary settlement. Thus Eng land is gradually extending the race of her people, with their arts and language, round the shores of Australia—the most bloodless, useful, and honour able of all her triumphs.. Scotman. BOCCAClO.—Professor Ciampi has disco vered in the Magliabecchi Library, at Florence, a manuscript which proves to be the note-book or memorandum of the reading of the celebrated Boccasio. This curious document, besides throwing great light on various circumstances in the life of that great writer, shows how learned and laborious he was. It also contains a 'num ber of interesting particulars with respect to an epoch which was the dawn of the discovery of America, and of the revival of letters in Italy. Professor Ciampi has published the manuscript, with notes full of erudition.—Literary Gazette.

LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, JULY 17, 1827. LAW INTELLIGENCE. ,_ I COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JULY 16. WALKER U. MRS. MARGARET'MONK. • This was an action to recover compensation in damages for a libel which appeared in the Chester Courant of the 29th of August" last.. Mr. CHITTY opened the pleadings. The declaration alleged, in different counts, that the defendant had published the libel. The defendant pleaded " not guilty," and also that he had the leave and licence of the plaintiff. The replication denied such leave. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL stated the case. The plaintiff was a respectablejeweller residing at Chester, and brought the action in London, where he was not so well !mown, to recover damages for a libel published in Chester, because he felt that it would be extremely difficult, if not impossible, to procure an unbiassed jury in Chester, upon a cause that in volved so much party feeling. To try the action upon the merits, therefore, he came to London, where that feeling which divides the people of Chester did not prevail. The libel was published in a paper of which Mrs. Monk is the proprietor. She employs different persons, some of whom arc called editors, some are contributors of articles, in their own names, and some use feigned names, but she has the benefit of their writings. The publication com plained of is signed " John Faulkner," and pur ports to be a letter, in answer to another letter, sup posed to have been written by the plaintiff. The l i e e n o d m e i t - I n c e y n t w i ► n a g s Attorney-General her t e h i a lad its t g h e e ne li r b a e l upon it, and asserting to impute to the plaintiff the grossest personal cor ruption and misconduct. One passage--" So well is your character understood by all who have any knowledge of your glaring and base tergiversation, that had the letter borne your signature, it should have passed by unnoticed"—when translated into simple words, meant that the plaintiff's signature would meet with no credit, because he was known to be a liar. This publication was two months after the election, and surely, a sufficient time had then elapsed to allow all party-feelings to subside. Where an action is brought for a libel, the defendant can, if the publication be true, plead that truth in justifica tion ; but if he does not so plead, he cannot nffer evidence of the truth of the publication, which must be considered to be false. The plaintiff asserts, that the whole charges are false; the defendant does not contend that they are true; and the same damages which the jury would expect if they were groundlessly attacked in their private as well as their public charac ter, by a person living in the same city where they dwelt,—those damages they would award to the plaintiff. Mr. Dutton, from the Stamp-office, proved that the defendant was the printer, publisher, and sole proprietor of the Chester Courant. Henry Goddard produced the paper of the 29th August, 1826. Both these witnesses were examined by Mr. J. WILLIAMS, and knew nothing of the plaintiff or of the defendant, or of the city of Chester. The libel, which was very long, was then read. It was signed "John Faulkner," and addressed to the plaintiff. Mr. JOHN WILLIAMS said, that it was only with the view of relieving the defendant from the conse quences of the action that he addressed the Jury.— The Attorney-General had kept from them as much light as possible, and there were cases in which light was less convenient than darkness. The city of Ches:cr was divided into two parties; one calls itself the independent, the - other is called the Gros venor party. If he (Mr. Williams) had been born' in the situation of Lord Grosvenor, he most pro bably should have every disposition to retain the same influence over the city which his ancestors pos sessed ; and be would say, that the Noble Lord, who was returned at the last election, and his brother, were both abundantly deserving of a seat in Parliament ; but a population of 20,000 persons may think they have a right to return a Member of their own choosing, and may think fit to spare his Lordship the trouble of directing their choice. The two parties had different organs. The ChesterChroniele Was the Paper of the Grosvenor, as the Courant was of the Egerton party. The two witnesses whom the Attorney-General has called never were in Chester, and from theni no evidence could be got; but the case should not be left in darkness through the dread of a reply. The plaintiff was formerly of the inde pendent party; for reasons, however, best known to himself, he had gone over to the G-rosvenors. During the last election the parties were nearly equally divided; but the Grosvenor party, after 12 days' hard fighting, at last, on the 22d of June, pre vailed. In a storm of that description there is a little swell when the calm comes, and some latit u d e must be given to transacti ons which sprung out of and are a continuation of the election. The letter complained of was dated, and sent on the 7th of August, though not published until the 29th. The plaintiff does not bring before yon the publication that occasioned the letter, which in fact contains no more than what the plaintiff himself chose to 'make public—his desertion of his own party,—for there is not one word in it relating to his private character; and as to public character, taking the step he did, he renders himself liable to public commentary. On the 25th of June, a watch was present e d by the Egerton party, at a meeting convened for that pur pose, to a person of the name of Spencer, who was the plaintiff's foreman, as a testimonial of his inde pendence in having voted on their side. A speech was made to Spencer upon the occasion, and that speech appeared in thedefendant' s p a p er , w ith o ut:any ment ion ' of the plaintiff, who, however, addressed in. the paper a very long and, he Mr. Williams must be excused for saying, a notparticularly lively letter to Mr. Lloyd,the gentleman who made the speech when the watch was given. In this letter, after the most unbounded abuse of the defendant's paper, he thus introduces Mr. Faulkner--" One of the independ en t s , a.Mr. John Faulkner, was on e o f th e foremost, who, feel ing some doubts of the efficacy of the immoral principles of independence alone after having intro duced him (Spencer) to publicity in a manner not very creditable either to his principles . or understand ing, took considerable pains to convince him that his employer would be very well able to dispense with his services, and would, therefore, discharge him as an inctunbrance; and that he could not do more than discharge him if he should displease him. How honourable, how independent, thus to tamper with a servant who had experienced uniform kind ness from his employer ! Such a mode of rendering a man incorruptible, no one will envy Mr. John Faulkner the credit of, nor can a reflecting public view such mean arts, such disreputable intrigues, with any feeling but that of sovereign contempt and abhorrence. It should be added that at this time, such was Spencer's feeling towards his independent friend, that he vowed, in his own style of language, if Faulkner attempted to interfere with him, he would kick his seat of honour." This was writ ten by the plaintiff above a month after • the elec tion, when all the election feelings ought, according to the Attorney-General's speech, to have subsided, —it was written before Mr. Faulkner wrote at all, and it was published by the defendant, who pocketed all the affronts upon her in her paper of the 25th of July, at the plaintiff's request, after it was signed with his name. On the 2d of A ug u st t h e plaintiff met Faulkner, and told him he would give him a good trimming in the next Chronicle. Mr. Williams here read some passages in the Chronicle of the 4th of August, reflecting - upon Faulkner, one of which stated that he (the plaintiff) _waif ready to meet Faulkner"fairly in the arena of public opinion. It was after these two publications, and after the threat to give him a good trimming, that Faulkner took up the pen, understanding the arena of public opinion to mean the columns of the Courant and of the Chronicle, and not the Court at Guildhall. The plaintiff had some time before himself found fault with the Courant for its tameness, and for not hav ing sting enough; and he boasted of the trimming he had given in it to Mr. Fletcher, to whom, he said, he had caused many a sleepless night. To the extent of his power the plaintiff dipped his pen in gall—he threatened and commenced an attack, aid now he comes whimpering, with his finger in his eye, and asks a jury for damages: because, forsooth, after he has himself beettstung he feels a little smart. Is it for him to come forward ? Does he really think there' can be different rules for different men ? The verdict would, the Learned Counsel hoped, teach the plaintiff that if he cannot confine himself within the limits of moderation, his conduct will be most likely to escape censure when it passes without ob servation. Lord TENTERDEN said, it appeared that there had been several publications on both sides, in the two Chester papers, before the publication complained of, and that the plaintiff-.had been of the indepen dent party; but on the last election had, for reasons into which no one had a right to inquire, quitted that party. The first publication appeared in th e Chester :rourant, and if it reflected upon the plain tiff, and he had chosen to have brought an action, .the law was open to him. It seems, however, that he thought fit to take the matter into his own hands, to redress himself by a publication of his own in the Chester Courant, in which he makes extraordinary allegations against Faulkner and the Editor of the Courant. The Counsel for the plaintiff has directed the attention of the Court to the libel, which was bitter and personal ; but to have the matter fairly before the Jury, they should also attend to the plaintiff's publication. His Lordship read an ex tract from it, stating, in reference to the parties, " that folly and vice seems to have arrived at its utmost daring." His Lordship also recapitulated the evidence of Faulkner, " that the plaintiff told him he would give him a severe trimming," and that, " when he attacked persons he made them writhe," and directed the Jury to bear that evidence in their mind when they came to estimate the da mages. 'F he plaintiff was entitled to a verdict, be cause the publication was a libel; but if the Jury thought that a man who had published and spoken in the way the plaintiff had, was not entitled to heavy damages, they would give only small damages. The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—Da mages, One Farthing. His Loaustin , certified that the damages were under 405., so that each party will have to pay his own costs. TUNNEL UNDER THE THAMES. The efforts made, and the remedies proposed to be adopted, to overcome the accident which occurred on these works, proceed with the most favourable appearances. • The whole of the boxes in the top tier have been successfully cleared of the soil which they contained, and made secure; and it has now been found that the bags of clay which have been lowered reach to the extent of eight boxes out of the twelve ; thus clearly proving that the length of the hole must have been upwards of 20 feet. This fact has never been previously known, for the en gineers, in their descents in the diving-bell, have not permitted any one to accompany them beyond a certain depth, The extent of the diameter of the aperture is still confined to themselves; but the green brickwork, which has been washed away, and replaced in the course of the last week, was about three feet from the tail of the shield. The bags of clay, therefore, would have been washed into the tunnel, had it not been for the iron stakes which were run through them. By these means they have formed a complete bridge, or rather new bed, which is clearly proved to have been the case by the brick layers having been enabled to continue their opera tions. The slight leakage which occurred in No. 12 box has already so far choaked itself up, that the water which issues from it is conveyed away by small hand-pump. by reAs ptlaeheht,gop the t p tier has iwwb i ee pe ; been made aid7seeti;:vly vur s,„ which might have been washed away, it is intended to draw the water carefully off, so as to 'commence in the s e e x c i on s ta d t e i r e e r , ; anfromd ie the h i quite evidentmstaee of f iat no there leak agehav- ing been no accumulation of water beyond that which proceeds from the slight leak alluded to, and the land springs. When the clay was found to be sufficiently conso lidated, two small tarpaulins were sunk, and after throWing clay upon these, in addition to the iron with which they were bound, a second tarpaulin was lowered, and as soon as this had sufficiently settled i tse lf,, a third was sunk. This latter was 100 feet square : it was four canvasses thick. Before it was loaded, it took 70 men to carry it from the brick small dista nce .

An additional number of men, for clearing the water, were taken on yesterday morning, and the miners are now actively employed in clearing the second tier of boxes. SOLICITOR , .GENERALSHIP--THE LORD CHANCELLOR.—We hare some reason to think, that Lord Manners has withdrawn his opposition to the appointment of Mr. D o h erty as Soli c it or -G enera l. As no obstacle now exists to the signing of the necessary certificate, we suppose there will be, without delay, an official announcement of Mr. Doherty's elevation to office.—Dublin Morning Register. PURSE IDE.--If ever Mammon reigned in a country, it is in England. Everything is mea sured by money, and the idea of consideration not derived from money, or the means of making it, is unintelligible. In a provincial town, he who keeps a coach will not associate with the person who can afford to keep only his gig ; the latter looks down on the individual who only keeps a riding horse ; and the person who can keep neither coach, gig, nor horse, must nut of them. All th e qualiti es th a t erer vi aspire rtti s t , o a associate the with itl atiy amiable centered in one individual, would fail to ensure respect in England to straitened circumstances. Time moment the black coat becomes rusty, or any other of the well known symptoms become apparent, friends are seized with blindness in the streets, and the unfortunat e is cut—this is a word which could be translated into no European language.--Moriang Chronicle. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Gazette de France dated Sunday.) PARIS, JULY 14.—A report was spread, we know not on what authority, that the Pope was seriously ill: we are happy to contradict this report. His Holiness is able to attend to his usual functions; he was present at the funenti service of the late King of Portugal, on the 27th, and gare the abso lution. Ships of the line and frigates from Brest and Rochefort are expected in the Mediterranean. Nor is it only the French squadron in the Mediterranean which will be numerous; that of England is strengthened every week; that of the Netherlands is going to be augmented, and it is even affirmed that a new Admiral will come and take the com mand of it. There is no doubt that a Russian and a Swedish squadron will shortly arrive there; hi therto only the squadron of the United States has remained of the same force as before. Notwith standing the advantage derived from the late con signment (expeditions), made to St. Domingo, those which were contemplated are impeded till further orders, as well as those to South America. The petition signed by the principal merchants of Paris for the establ►shment of an entrepot in the capital, has been delivered by a deputation to the Duke de Blacas, who has presented it to the King, and has informed the petitioners that his Majesty has received it with much interest. A letter from Cadiz, June 12, gays, the Bellona, Capt. St. Priest, has sailed with secret orders to be opened at sea. The Euryalus brig has also sailed. The Florence Gazette announces in an extract of a letter from Constantinopie of 30th May, that the Turkish Government had had two persons put to death who had spoken disrespectfully of the Powers who mediated in the affairs of Greece. The theatre of the Ambigu Comique was sud denly destroyed by fire last night. Not the slightest suspicion attaches to any person. The disaster was occasioned by the fireworkers making a trial after the performance was over, of a firework, which was to be introduced in a melo-drama called La 'J'abalierre, which was to be performed next week. Some sparks ascending, caught the freize, and iii less than ten minutes the flames gained such an ascendancy, that all efforts to check their progress were vain. The fireman who was on the spot was stifled in a minute by the smoke. The keeper of the theatre hastened to the spot, and met his death. The workmen ran out to call for assistance ; the firemen of the neighbouring barracks, and a detach— ment of the troops came to the spot, but could do no more than preserve the Theatre de la, Gaiete, which is divided only by a party wall from the Ambigu. The wind happily blew in an opposite direction, or it is probable that both theatres would have been destroyed. A great part of the wardrobe was saved. Besides the death of the two persons above mentioned, it is said that three persons are missing, and that a serjeant of the line has perished. (From the Quotidienfle of Saturday.) FRANKFORT, JULY 2.—(Private Correspond ence.)—The attitude of the Cabinets, and espe cially of Russia, deserves general attention. This great power, especially in her relations with Eng land, is in a situation truly curious. There is no doubt that the two Cabinets of St. Petersburgh and of London are divided in their interests and opinions. In their interest; because besides the inevitable struggle between these two Colossal Powers, which press the scales of the European Balance of Power with sut equal weight, there are several other special questions where their interests are directly opposed to each other. I hear particu lar mention made of the war with Persia,. which comprises nothing less than the influence over a country which is the key of India, one of the strong holds of England. With respect to matters of opi nion, it is impossible to suppose that the Emperor of Russia, whose ascent to the throne was surround ed with conspiracies and seditions, can ever enter into the system of Mr. Canning. It is, therefore, very clear, that the interests and opinions of England and of Russia are in direct oppo sition. How has it happened then, that these two Powers have so closely united with respect. to the Greek question ? This requires some explanation. There is no occasion to observe to you, that the Greek question is marked with a s p ec i a l character istic, calculated to reconcile the most opposite in terests. It is rather a question of humanity than of policy, without which it would be difficult to account for the intervention of France, whose policy required rather the observation of the ancient treaties with the Porte than to make the experiment of an alliance With Greece—a country hardly organised. But I repeat, it was only from generous motives of hu manity, that the concerns of Greece was considered; and hence those motives weigh but lightly in the scale. In addition to this, the situation of the Greeks was such as to require a speedy decision of either immediately joining, or assuming an hostile attitude; and the great nations of Europe (head now-a-days, any serious war amongst themselves so much, that they preferred to act in concert, rather than to fight each other. You can imagine that a campaign in Turkey would be a matter of little consequence to the three great intervening Powers; and, notwithstanding the im provements introduced amongst the Turkish armies, they are not capable of resisting a long time the dis cipline of the Christian troops ; however, Russia seems to be determined not to engage in this war before she has settled her differences with Persia.— There is much talk of some success the Russians are said to have obtained, and that, in consequence thereof, a treaty is on the point of being concluded between the Emperor and the Schah. If this intel ligence,is true, the peace with the Schah will enable Russia to turn all her resources against Turkey, es pecially if the war should be carried on seriously.— We ought to be prepared for every thing; for if the fanaticism of the Mussulmans should revive, more forces would be requisite than what are now directed against Constantinople to subdue it and keep it under. (From the Constitutionnel of Saturday.) AtsGsumtG, JULY B.—(Extract from a Private Letter.)---" Notwithstanding the misfortunes of Greece, the zeal of our Philhellenes does not abate. I can even assure you that a considerable number of Bavarian officers have recently demanded furlough for a year, to travel in the East. Austria has made repeated representations on this subject to our King, who replied that there was on his part a motive of religion and conscientiousness, and that policy had the less to do with it, as Bavaria, owing to her po sition, could hare no sort of individual interest in the political questions of the ease."

EXCUTIOI t r .IP THE DUKE D'ENGRIEN. It an the *Ming 14th March, a body of French soldiers, and gars nSines, commanded. by Colonel Ordenner, acting under the direction of Caulaincourt, afterwards called Duke of Vi cenza, soddenly entered the territory. of Baden, a power with whom France was in profoUvid peace, and surrounded the chateau in which the unfortunate Prince resided. The descendant of Conde sprung to his arms, but Was prevented from using them by one of the attendants, who represented the force of his assailants as too great to be resisted. The soldiers rushed into the apartment, and, presenting their pistols, de manded to know which was the Duke d'En ghien. If you desire to arrest hiin,' said the Duke, you ought to have his description in your warrant. Then we must seize on 5 , 0 u all,' replied the officer in command; and the Prince, with his little household, were arrested and carried to a mill at some distance from the house, where he was permitted to receive some clothes and necessaries. Being now recognized, he was transferred, with his attendants, to the citadel of Strasburg, and presently after wards separated from the gentlemen of his house hold, with the exception- of his aide-de-camp, the Baron de St. Jacques. He was allowed to communicate with no one. He remained a close prisoner for three days ; but on the 18th, betwixt one and two in the morning, lie ccaa obliged to rise and dress himself hastily, being only informed that he was about to commence a journey. He requested the attendance of hi.- valet - de chambre, but was answered that it wa ; unnecessary; - The linen which he. was permitted to take with him amounted to two chute only,. so nicely had his worldly wants been calculated. and ascertained. He was transported with the utmost speed and secrecy towards Paris; where, he arrived on the 20th, and after having been committed for a few hours to the Temple, was transferred to the ancient Gothic castle of Vin cennes, about a mile from the city, long used a; . a state prison, but whose walls never received g: more illustrious or a more innocent victim. There he was permitted to take sonic repose : and a; if the favour had only been granted for the pur pose of being withdrawn, he was awaked at mid night, and called upon to sustain an interrogatory on which his life depended, and to which he re plied with the utmost composure. On the en suing night, at the same dead hour, lie wa; brought before the pretended court. The law enjoined that he should have had a defender ap pointed to plead his cause ; but none such way allotted to him. " The Inquisitors, before whom he was hurried, formed a military commission of eight officers, having General Hulin as their president. They were, as the , proceedings express it, named by Buonaparte s brother-in-law Murat, then gover nor of Paris. Though necessarily exhausted with fatigue and want of rest, the Duke d'Enghien d t e h s i c s e n n - i d el a a n n t ch o o f ly th sc e ei g ie re a at pa c rt oi ‘ l v d o e r . t — hy 'which he had taken in the war against France, op li fe e dto a hr v el ole a d his name and rank, and the share sitn but denied all knowledge of Pichegru or of his conspiracy. The interrogations ended by his de manding an audience of the Chief Consul. My name,' he said, my rank, my sentiments, and the peculiar distress of my situation, lead me to hope that my request will not be refused.' " The military commissioners paused and hesitated—nay, though selected doubtless as fitted for the office, they were even affected by the whole behaviour, and especially by the in trepidity, of the unhappy Prince. But Savary, then chief of the Police, stood behind the Presi dent's chair,. and controlled their sentimetts of compassion. When they p ai =l.- :to . further the prisoner's' request of an dra t Consul, Savoy cut the discussion short, by reported u yin ti t i h at eir wasiilexPedi t opinion, ghien was guilty of having fought against the Republic, intrigued with England, end main tained intelligence in Strasburg, for the pnrpor inexpedient. the At D l ul ' ce th d g ' t E h n ey . of seizing the place;—great part of which -age gations, and especially the last s was in express contradiction to the only proof adduced, the ad mission, namely, of the prisoner himself. The report being sent to Buonaperts to know hie farther pleasure, the Court received for answer their own letter, marked with the emphatic worn: Condemned to death.' Napoleon was obeyed' by his satraps with Persian devotion. The sen tence was pronounced, and the prisoner received it with the same intrepid gallantry which distin guished him through the whole of the bloody scene. He requested the aid of a confessor. Would you die like a monk ?' is said to have been the insulting reply. The Duke, without noticing the insult, knelt down fora minute, and seemed absorbed in profound devotion. " 4 Let us go,' he said, when he arose from his knees.
