They state that the Pacha of Scutari has already taken advantage of the singular re missness that has for some time past been observed in the military operations of the Grand trritier. On the 20th of June he sent 0,000 men, lender the command of one of his relations, against the division of the Sultan's troops under izied MCliemed Pacha, ordered to besiege Scutari. They met at Alesso, and the troops of Scutari attacking with impetuosity, gained a decided victory. As soon as this news arrived at Scutari, the courage of the inhabi tants revived. Mustapha Pacha immediately ordered a new levy of one man per house, and thus raised his force to 15,000 men. On the Ist, he marched in person agrinst the Grand Vizier, intending to attempt a decisive blow. When our accounts came away, the result of this operation was not known in Scutari. The greatest anxiety was felt, as it is evident that the fate of Mustapha Pacha will be soon decided ; nobody believes that he will be victorious. VIENNA, JULY 27.—The statement of the death of Ge neral Baron Frimont, Commander-in Chief in the King dom of Lombardy and Venice, was premature, but he is so ill, in consequence of an attack of gout in the stomach, that his life is despaired of. VIENNA JULY 26. JuLY 27. Four per Cent. Bank Shares ST. PETERSBURG 11, JULY 16. —Notice has been given, that by the Emperor's order the quarantine and sanitary cordons in several Owes are going to be suppressed. In the communication by water the barks will be stopped only a short time for the inspection of their crews. The cholera patients whom they may have on board shall be sent to the hospitals, and the barks shall proceed on their voyage after the clothes and the rest of the crew have been fumigated. In the assembly of the merchants held on the Sth July, the major of St. Petersburgh stated that the Emperor had been pleased to send for him, and to order him to have an licspital with one hundred beds fitted up in every quarter of the capital, for the reception of persons attacked with the cholera, and that his Majesty had placed at his disposal for this purpose a sum of one hundred and thirty thousand rubles from the Imperial treasury. The merchants, desirous of concurring in the execution of this order, resolved that the merchants of each class shall con tribute towards the formation and organization of these hos pitals a subscription to the amount of one per cent. of their declared capital, which will produce about one hundred and sixty thousand rubles. The number of persons attacked with the cholera at St. Petersburgh since its first appearance (July 17) was 6,221 —deaths, 3,012 ; recovered,76l ; remain, 2,451. A Select Committee, we perceive, has been appointed to enquire into the possibility of ren dering the House of Commons more commo dious and less unwholesome. Colonel TRENCH has published two plans illustrative of this sub ject, which we have seen, and which we think likely to answer, though they are not car ried to a sufficient extent. The House of Commons to be rendered truly commo dious, should be enlarged to a much greater degree than the Gallant Colonel sup poses, for the mere addition of room for one hundred Members is no very wonderful improve ment. If the interior of the House be sub jected to alteration, it should be altered effectu ally, so as to make the improvement final. In the House of Commons last night, in the Committee on the Game Laws Bill, Lord AL THORP moved several judicious resolutions, among them were, first, " that a 21. license should privilege to sell game," secondly, " that the Bill now before the House should take effect twenty days after it had become law." After some desultory and unimportant discussion, both these propositions were agreed to. Several amendments were afterwards moved, and among the number was one excluding innkeepers, pub licans, coachmen, guards, and carriers from being entitled to have certificates for the sale of game. We are always glad when the subject of the game laws is made the theme of discussion in either House of Par liament, for as at present regulated, they are the most absurd and tyrannical, and inefficient pos sible ; filling our gaols with felons, inundating the country with poachers, confounding all the distinctions of crime, and perpetuating a system of misrule and tyranny throughout every province in the kingdom. Lord ALTHORP'S improve ments—for the details of which we refer our readers to the debate—are very considerable, and tend, so far as they go, to let in the light of intelligence and liberality on the present detestable game monopoly. On one particular clause, which his Lordship proposed, " for inflicting on persons who should lay nets on Sundays, and should use poison for the purpose of destroying game, a fine of 51.," Colonel SIBTHORPE proposed that the punish ment should be increased for each offence, and urged a protracted imprisonment for the third offence. On what principle the Honourable and Gallant Member proposed his amendment to this effect we cannot for the life of us discover ; possibly his devotional spirit was shocked at the idea of such an iniquity be ing committed on the Sabbath ; or, what is more probable, he conceived that to violate the liberty of the subject in the person of a woodcock, to abstract a stray widgeon, or play the apothecary with a Lincolnshire pike or eel, were offences commensurate in enormity with burglary or highway robbery, and should be punished accordingly. Colonel SIBTHoRPE's absurd amendment was negatived, as a matter of course, but he has the consolation of knowing that he has done his best to degrade the dignity of justice by unduly increasing the severity of, the laws, and may take refuge in the soothing reflections of a good conscience. Lord FiTzROY held a Levee this morning at the office of the Commander-in-Chief, at the Horse Guards, which was very numerously attended by General Military Officers. GOD A RESPECTER OF PERSONS.—..p r i nce PHILIP died at Paris on the 27th September, 1693, arid his death gave occasion to a trait of feudal vanity that de serves to be cited. The annotator of the Memoirs of D'Anjou thus speaks of him :—" This Prince, a great sharper, and a great debauchee, died very suddenly. Th ey were moralising thereupon in presence of the Marechale de MEILLIERIE, with great doubts of his salvation." " I assure you," said the Illarechale, very seriously, " that with res pect to the people of that quality, GOD thinks twice before damning them."—Lardner's cabinet Library. Mr. PAULDING, in his new and universally admired novel, entitled " The Dutchman's Fire-side," has made great use, in the conduct of his plot, of the agency of jealousy, which is developed in a series of rapid incidents fully worthy of the pen of the author's early friend and coadjutor, Mr. WAstitxGrosr Ixvrxc. Io rtading " The Dutchman's Fireside," the fine and fresh descriptions of Transatlantic scenery, which are scattered here and there throughout the volumes, will not fail to arrest the reader of taste ; and these alone, independently of the dratiatic power of the work, will, in our opinion, be thought to stamp the author as second to few living novelists. SIR E. coDRINGTON'S FLEET. PORTSMOUTH, AUG. 8.---The Pantaloon ketch, Duke of Portland, left the fleet this morning about twelve leagues from nunnose, going eastward. 'the Pantaloon had no communication with the fleet. The Britannia, NO, will sail to-morrow morning, to join the fleet in the Downs.

CITY MARKETS.—(TWO O'CLOCK.) SUGAR.—The market for British Plantation Sugars is still heavy. The delivery last week from the West India Docks was above 2,700 casks, and the stock there is nearly 33,600 hogsheads and 3,300 tierces. Fine Jamaicas are still quoted 525. to 565., and brown 15s. to 465. per cwt. In Foreign Sugars not much has been done to-day. East India Sugars continue firm ; the de liveries of Mauritius are small.

EAST INDIA SALES.-This morning the East India Company's sales of Saltpetre and Spices took place at the India-house, and, in consequence of the warlike state of affairs on the continent, the demand for Saltpetre was very active at advanced prices. The quantity of Saltpetre offered was upwards of 300 tons, and the biddings com menced very actively at 41s. per cwt. An advance, however, to 465. 63. per cwt. immediately took place, and the average of the sale was ft-6m 455. 6d. to 465. per cwt. ; refraction from to 2?r per cent. Upwards of 3,000 bags of this article was announced for sale this afternoon. The speculative demand is very great as compared with the price of last Company's sale. Saltpetre has improved from 7s. to Bs. per cwt., of about 1,200 bags of Blark Pepper, taxed at 2id. EN hags sold at 3d. per lb. ; White Pepper went off at 54-4. to 5-;7-,d. per lb. ; Fins Cloves at is. lld. to 2s. per lb. ; Nutmegs were bought in (about 400 casks) at 3s. to 3s. 5,1. per lb.; and Cassia Buds at from 60s. to 655. per cwt. ; of Cassia Lignea, there were 400 chests, and all sold very briskly at from 71s. to 725. 6d. per cwt. The Spice market is firm, the attendance was very numerous. The accounts from the Hop Plantations continue favour able, and the market is very' flat. SILK.-The market is in a very depressed state, and but little business doing. CorToN—ls very firm, and more business doing. Woor.s—Are also purchased readily, low qualities con tinue in brisk demand. Great preparations are making to celebrate the natal day of her illaJEsTv at Bushey; the whole place will be illuminated under the direction of Mr. UN nEitwoon, of Fleet•street. The illuminations in town be very general. BEAUTIES OF THE COURT OF CHARLES 11. —This work is intended as an Illustration of the Memoirs of DE GRAMMONT, PEPYS, EVELYN, CLARENDON, and other contemporary writers. It will be forthwith com pleted in five parts. The contents of the first part may serve as a specimen of the whole. It contains an intro ductory view of the state of female society in CHARLES'S time, of the dress and manners—of the progress of Portrait Painting from VANDYKE to LAWRENCE—Of the Windsor and Hampton Beauties, &c.—Portraits and Memoirs of CATHERINE of Bragauza, the unhappy and slighted wife of CHARLES—of BARBARA VILLIERS—Of Lady CASTLE MAINE—of the Duchess of CLEVELAND, daughter of Lord GRANPISON, the termagant mistress of CHARLES— o f La Belle HAMILTON, Countess de Grammont, oue of the an cestors of the Jerningham family—of the Duchess of s o _ merset, (Lady ELIZABETH PERCY) for whose sake Ku- NisosmaaK shot Tom THYNNE in Pall-mall, &c. &c. The other day a poor countryman was sum moned before the Magistrates of the St. Alban's bench for arrears of poor-rate. On being asked on what ground lie objected to pay, he innocently replied, " Lord bless you, gentlemen, I have nogroundat all, mine's only a cottage.' , —Herts County Express. TIT FOR TAT.-111 a town in Westphalia, Germany, justice lately punished with 25 lashes, and exposure in the pillory, a crime of a nature rather singular. The culprit had stolen from the body of a Jew deposited in the grave the dress in which he was buried, as usual with that people. He had the impudence to wear this dress in public a few days afterwards, giving as a reason, "the rascal robbed the often while he was living, why should I not take my revenge now he is dead ?" A few Sundays since a simple-looking country lad, to whose lot fell the leading question in the Catechism, " What is your name?" replied, " Carrot! !" "Nyho gave you that name " Why all the boys in the parish, Sir !" whiningly replied the red-haired urchin. " In England," observes Blackwood's Ma gazine, speaking of Captain BEECHEY'S Narrative of his Voyage to the Pacific, " almost the first thought of youth is the sea, and the first aspiration of boyhood to be a sailor. Every thing that we read, or see, or hear, im presses on our mind the same feeling; and who cannot remember being enraptured long days together over the tales of strange, new scenes, and dangerous passages, and wild adventures in ANsoN, VANCOUVER, or Cow:, and having longed to see the beings of another world there pourtrayed, or to wander through those sweet islands, in that ocean happily called the Pacific ? Among such scenes, where the living changes of the capricious tropics were all that accompanied the vessel in her course—now blazing around her in the lightning—now sleeping over her sun shiny track in the calm drowsiness of an equatorial day, Captain BEECHEY'S Voyage was directed, and the account of it is conceived iu the spirit of a gentleman, and written in the plain and unaffected style of a sailor. This book contains within itself much both to please and delight, from the vast variety of different scenes—the excitement of some—the splendour of others—and the rapid transi tion from extreme to extreme." We are glad to find that a new and cheaper edition of this delightful work, in octavo, has just made its appearance. ROYAL AND NOBLE ROBBERS.—Towards the end of the reign of Louts XIII., or at the commence ment of the following reign, GASTON, Duke of Orleans, used to take pleasure, after having made a debauch, in lying in ambuscade on the Pont Neuf, and robbing the passengers of their cloaks. It is related, in the Memoirs of ROCHEFORT, that this Prince and his companions having taken during the night five or six cloaks from the passengers, some of the persons robbed went and com plained. The police arrived ; at their approach the Noble robbers took to flight. Among the Prince's ac complices were the Count WI:IA aconaT, the Chevalier de RIEU X, and the Count de ROCHEFORT. The two last having fled for refuge toward the statue of HENRY IV., climbed up on his horse ; the Chevalier de RIEUX hii.,g frightened, wished to get down ; he placed his feet on the reins of bronze—they gave way under his weight—he fell, and uttered cries which brought the police. The latter forced him to get up, and obliged the Count de ROCHEFORT who had stationed himself at the back of HENRY IV. to come down. They were taken to the dungeons of the Chatelet, from which they only got out by powerful in terest... D r. Lardner's cabinet Library, Vol. VII.. LAW INTELLIGENCE- (THIS DAY.)

By the Agnes from China we have received Canton Registers, which mention an invasion in the north by the Tartars and a considerable alarm of the Government. Instructions had arrived at Canton to deal cautiously with the foreigners, and to keep matters in peace and quietness. COMMERCIAL REMARKS. OFIUNt.-Few sales have been made in either Patna or Malwa since our last, prices, however, have not receded ; the deliveries up to Feb. 15 have been moderate, being only 438 chests, consisting of 169 chests of Patna, 29 of Benares, and 240 of Mal,7a. COTTON.-The Chinese holders of cotton have lately dis. posed of about 10,000 bales ; the reported failure of this year's crop appears to have been but partial, and has not produced any activity in the market. New York Papers to the 17th July have been received at the North and South American Coffeehouse.

An order was also issued to raise troops throughout the island. This proclamation was received with great joy."

Extract of a letter from Maracaibo, dated June 13 : " Colombia is no doubt destined to be great and happy. Since the death of Bolivar the cause of freedom and the people has prevailed, and the liberty of the Press rein stated. New Grenada has joined the Confederacy." CONDITION OF CHILI. The twa political parties by which the country is di. vided have ceased to associate on the friendly terms they once did, and the present Government appears to be firmly established, and are using the most energetic means for securing themselves, but the lower classes of the people are not satisfied• THE FUNDS. As yet we are without any arrivals from the theatre of war in Belgium, but we may expect hourly the Dutch steamer. In the interim, reports are in circulation, that Antwerp has been taken by the Dutch army, but this re• quires confirmation. Consols, which left off yesterday at 804 for the Account, are at present 801. HALF-PAST ONE. In the high circles at the west end it is expected that we s hall bear of a general armistice between the Dutch and 13elgians before the end of this week ; therefore our aqua - (Iron, which has passed Hastings for the Scheldt, will b e a day or two too late. We have various reports in t h e city, such as Ostend being blockaded by a Dutch frigate, a battle near Ghent, &c. As yet they are only reports. Our funds continue steady, and have been fluctuating during the morning from SI down to 80i, and up again to 81, at which price they are at present. The Dutch steamer is not expected until five o'clock. In the Foreign Market little or nothing doing. THREE O' CL CK.

COURT OF THE REGENT ORLEANS.—The Duchesses and P r i ncesses of the Court partook of his dis graceful taste, and frequently got drunk. The mother of the Regent, CHARLOTTE ELIZABETH of Bavaria, in her letters, !peaks, without blaming it, of the practice which the ladies of the court had adopted of drinking to excess. Madame, the Duchess . de BOURBON," says she, " can di ink a great deal without being intoxicated; her daugh ters wish to imitate her, hut their heads are not strong enough: they are, in general, somewhat less mistresses of themselves than their mother."—Dr. Lardner's Cabinet Library, vol.

Wood and Mr. Beardsworth (won by Birmingham) was to be tried yesterday at Warwick ; the betting is even, Mr. B. for choice. A formidable snake was killed on Crimson Hill, within the parish of Curry Mallett, about a fortnight since ; it measured in circumference eight inches, and in length four feet ten inches.—Bath Journal. CHOLERA MORBUS.—Thc following is Sir MATTHEW TIERNEY'S recipe for this disease:_" Caje puta oil, 25 drops he a wine-glass of hot water. If not relieved in five minutes, take 50 more." Harvest has become general in the neigh hood of Penzance. The harvest is so forward in the neighbourhood of Liskeard, that the wheat there will be nearly in sheaf this week. On Friday last, whilst Mr. CUMMINS was in conversation with Mr. 1 3 /tax, bailiff for Sir H. HOSKYNS, Bart., he suddenly exclaimed " GOD bless me, Mr. PEAK, I cannot gee you had lost the sight of both his eyes instantaneously.— Gloucester Journal. A great quantity of timber has been lately imported into Leith. Many of the logs are of great length and immense thickness : one of them is said to be the longest ever imported here, being 85 feet in length. —Edinburgh Advertiser. It gives us great pleasure to state, on what we deem good authority, that the proprietors of three very extensive establishments have signified their intention of totally discontinuing the truck system at their respective works.—Bolton.Chronicle. A meeting ofdelegates from the various trades, and from the weavers of the different districts in Paisley and its neighbourhood, took place in the King's Arms Inn, on Monday evening, to concert measures to facilitate the progress of the Reformßill through Parliament. — Scotsman, The accounts from Stangate Creek are most favourable. About 200 ships were lately under quaran tine, now only about 27. No cases of sickness ; and it is affirmed that when the vessels sailed from Russia with cholera on board, in no instance did it continue above four days after putting to sea. No set of men ever evinced such a disinter ested disregard of any thing like popular feeling and opinion as the present Opposition ; for not only do they set their faces against Reform at home, but select Don MIGUEL, the beloved FERDINAND, and the King of Hot- LAND, as their foreign pets and favourites. A certain Reverend, Who is not a Member of the Temperance Society, being lately asked by a dealer to purchase some fine old Jamaica, dryly answered, " To tell ye the truth, Mr. —, I canna' say I'm very fond o' rum ; for, if I tak' flair than six tuttel,rs, it's very apt to gi'e me a beadaehe."— Glasgow Chronicle. Several of the St. Ives drift-boats brought in from 6,000 to 10,000 fish each, yesterday morning. It is understood that the whole of the St. Ives boats are on their return from the herring fishery, on the Irish coact, where only those who went early have done well. On Tuesday night, as one of the hoes, the Agenoriu, BEIt. nistm4, was on her return from the Irish coast, she fell in with a vast shoal of pilchards, 20,000 of which fish she brought into St. Ives on Wednesday morning._ West Briton. Sir WALTER ScoTT's similitude between the project for taking to pieces the CiviJ Constitution of Eng land, and the separation of the component puts of a re peating watch by children, appears to have been suggested by one of the poems of RICHARD LOVELACE " A reformation I would have As for our griefs a sovereign salve; That is, a cleansing of each wheel Of state, that yet some rust doth feel; But not a reformation, so, As to reform were to o'erthrow; Like watches by unskilful men Disjointed, and set ill again." DUBOIS.—Some time after the nomination of Dußois to the archbishopric of Cambrai, a prostitute, who bad free entrance into the house of the Regent, came and asked a favour of him. "Speak," said the Regent ; " what do you want ?"—" The abbey of Montmartre," re• plied she. At these words Pniur and Dußois burst into a fit of laughter. "Why do you laugh at my re quest?'' should saidshe thestootibe a Abbe.nAlb?(BB7,, The RegentArchbishop,arean‘a vs and why obliged to admit that she was right. The Regent had fits of remorse, and manifested them to Dußois. " what will history say ? It will represent the orgies of nay re gency as those fetes which all know of the Giurt of HENRY 111. Our festivals of darkness will be brought to light ; posterity av ill know the details of them ; the ar tists will engrave them." He added, " They will know, at least, that all was done at the instigation of a Cardinal." Then reproaching him with having from his youth ha bituated him to the excesses of libertinism, be said, " Be gone, dog of a Cardinal !" But the Cardinal knew his game, and had only to give a hint of having discovered some new pleasure, whereudon the Regent opened his large ryes, and demanded immediately to be made ac quainted with h.—Dr. Lardner's Cabinet Library. LITERATI - HI; RIM r PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE OF DAVID GARRICK. Loaner, 1830. We have just perused a huge quarto volume (the first) under this attractive title, respecting 'J(..I which much public curiosity has been excited, and which—a rare occurrence—will not., in this instance, be disappointed. When we consider the vast space that the first actor of ancient or modern time occupied during his busy career, in the world's eye ; when we remember that from the first year of his appearance in London at Goodman's-fields theatre, in 1741, down to the moment of his retirement from the stage, in the year 1778, he was constantly before the public ; that during this protracted period he was on terms, of more or less intimacy with all the wise, the illustrious, the patriotic, of Great Britain ; that he was the favourite of 1)r. Johnson, the filend and companion of the celebrated Lord Camden, the associate of Quin, and Foote, and Barry, and Henderson, the protege of Pope, the cottempondent of Bishop Warburton, the fos terer of the early genius of Sheridan and Sid - dons—when we remember all this, we can rea dily comprehend the interest that, even at this comparatively distant period, must be attached to the biography of such a man. The present volume, we repeat, will not disappoint such ex pectation. It is introduced by a well-written memoir of Garrick, and contains his voluminous correspondence with all, or nearly so, the illus trious characters of his time. The letters of Bishop Warburton, in particular, are uncom monly entertaining, and clear up many points in the great actor's life hitherto obscure and unex plained. We shall, from time to time, give o_Atracts, as our contracted limits will allow, on the conviction that they will prove the source of much amusement and information to our readers. The letters of Mr. Newton alone arc a store house of valuable theatrical criticism, and deserve to be generally known. The Windsor Castle, from Riga, now de liYering her cargo of grain at Grangemouth, having been relieved from quarantine, has communicated sonic curious particulars relative to the cholera morbus, which tend in , disputably to establish the fact, that it is by the medium of the atmosphere the disease is alone communicated. it vessel approaching the town was attacked at the distance of fifteen miles, and four of the crew fell victims. We are assured of the fact, (although it smells of the Awe rican,) that thousands of fishes, dying and dead, were daily seen floating upon their backs down the Dwina, and that this was caused by their leaping out of the water after flies, &c. There is elle circumstance which, at all event., should be carefully attended to when the cargoes are taken out of vessels : the great quantity of mats seem to be a fertile cause of harbouring ►miasmatic effluvia, and as their worth is nothing to the merchant, they ought instantly to be burned.—Scotsman THE LATE EARL OF NORBURY.—Thi S Judge, so celebrated for hie jests and witticisms, was the second son of DANIEL TOLER, Esq., of Beckwood, county Tipperary. His Lordship was educated for the legal pro fession, and, becoming a member of the Irish bar, rendered himself conspicuous for his advocacy of Tory principles. It is said that the Noble Earl was first returned to the Irish Parliament through the influence of the faction of " undertakers," as they were called, from undertaking the management of the Irish House of Commons for the British Minister. His devotions to Lord CASTLEREAGH, Lord CLARE, and Mr. PITT, brought to him successively the offices of Irish Solicitor General,: 1789, Attorney- General, 16th July, 1798, and Lord Chief Justice of the Common Pleas, 20th December, 1800 ; which office he retained, although deprived of nearly all his faculties, ex cept punning and riding, for the last ten or twelve years, until 1827, when Lord PLUNKETT succeeded him. His Lordship was created•an Irish Peer, by the title of Baron NORBURY of Ballyorenade, county Tipperary, in 1800. The Earl's consort, GRA cx GRA HAM, daughter of IlEcron, GRAHAM, Esq., had been created a Peeress in her own right, 7th Nov. 1797, by the title of Baroness Noßwo oD , On his Lordship's retirement from the Common Pleas he was raised to the dignity of Earl of NORBURY and Vis count GLANnms, with remainder to his second son, the Hon. HECTOR JOHN GRAHAM TOLER, who, of course, has succeeded to those hereditary honours. The Earl's eldest son, who is considered an eccentric character, succeeded his mother in the Barony of Norwood, in July, 1822. The present Earl of NORBURY is married to the only daughter and heiress of WILLIAM BRABAZON, anti niece to Sir ANTHONY BRABAZON, Bart. By this lady his Lordship has an only daughter, Lady HELEN TOLER, born 1814. The deceased Nobleman bar left two daughters, Lady ISABELLA TOLER, unmarried, and Lady LETITIA, married to WILLIAM BROWNE, EN., of Browne's Hill, county Carlow. Lord NORRURY was known, among the lower classes in Ireland, as " the hang ing Judge." His Lordship, at his death, was a Privy Councillor in Ireland, a Trustee of the Irish Linen 11Ia • nufacture, and a Visitor of Maynooth College. He also en joyed a pension of 4,0001. per annum as a retired Judge. A CHARACTER.—There is at present an ex traordinary character existing in the French capital, who divides the public attention with Lours PHILLIPPE, the Poles, and the heroes of July. He is named CIiODRUC DUCLOS, and his description and history are as follows : He is a modern TIALON. His dress consists of a few miser able rags, and his beard, which has not been trimmed for many years, reaches to his middle. Every evening, he walks round the galleries of the Palais Royal, offering, in the mean ness of his attire, a strange contrast to the magnificence and splendour of that celebrated place. Yet this specimen of wretchedness was, in former times, a leader of fashion— a titan celebrated for his multifarious accomplishments,-- remarkable for his beauty, and no less renowned as a first rare exquisite ! The history of Ctionauc-DucLos offers , even in this age of wonders and strange events, one of the most striking examples of the caprices of fortune. He is a man of family, and was the heir to a handsome fortune. In his early life he was recherche to a proverb in his ex quisitism. He was a good musician and dancer, and an adept in the use of arms. He made himself famous at Bor deaux by an adventure at the theatre. A lady having been insulted in his presence, be lifted the offender in his arms, and threw him from the first tier of boxes into the pit. He fought many duels, and killed one of his antagonists. He was the intimate friend of the Ex-Minister I'EvRONNLT, to whom, on more than one occasion, he proved of essen tial service. In early life they were inseparable compa nions, and nude sundry vows of eternal friendship. During the supremacy of BUONAYARTE, DLICLOS proved him self one of the most strenuous partisans of the exiled family. In the advancement of their cause he exposed himself to the greatest peril, besides expending upon it every franc of his large fortune. On the return of Lours XVIII- to the throne of France, he, with many others, presented himself to receive the reward of his services and fidelity to the royal cause. Ills claims, however, were disregarded, or the offers made were such as be considered totally inadequate to his merit. Disappointed and indig.. nant, he withdrew from Court. The,accession of PEs-KoN NET to power revived his hopes.. He waited on his former friend, but his mission was one of those with which men in power are very willing to dispense. PEracoNNEr re ceived the bosom friend of his youth in a most states man-like manner, and on receiving a hint from his visitor, that his wants were most pr:ssing, magnanimously ; presented him with 200 franca (8/.) Front that moment his :life has been an enigma. No one can tell who provides for his subsistence, since, so far from ever asking alms, he is never known to speak a word. His Bole occupation appears to be, to perambulate the splendid galleries of the Palais Royal. He has twice been taken before the tribunals, on a charge of outraging public decency by his insufficient attire; but he was not IsiNceted to any punishment, and he still continues to parade his rags and misfortunes. Ile xpends two francs per day ; and his landlady, the owner of a mietrable tenth-rate inn, declared on his trial, that he is so punctual that he will not allow a day to pass without paying the said sum. Trifling as the pittance is, it afforded matter for speculation how Duct.os could procure it, sin ce it was notorious , that every sous of his property had f eon pent. It is surmised by some, that a small pension IR allowed him by the lady whom he protected at the theatre of Bordeaux!
