to be made by Nicholas to these (by him styled)' rebels, in order to put an end to this ruinous war, and the desire of an intervention, in order to bring the Poles to agree to an accommodation on reason- able conditions. There is nothing improbable in this view of the case. The Russian Cabinet, seeing that the Great Powers are likely to join in a mediation in favour of the Poles, would naturally be desirous to anticipate these measures, and set forth her great losses, in order to be in a better condition of defending itself in the course of the negotiation. The struggle which the little kingdom of Poland has maintained against Russia, with results so nicely balanced on both sides, has shown to Europe that the virtual strength of Russia was much inferior to what had hitherto been conceived. The Cabinet of St. Petersburgh has endeavoured to impress on the mind of Europe a high idea of its power, that it might preserve a little of that ascendancy which it has been allowed to take, and which it desired to change into universal supremaey. In spite of the losses, the enormous expences, the great embarrass ments, and we may even add, ►n spite of the demo. ralizations which the Polish war has caused in the empire, the Cabinet has always affected a great deal of haughtiness, boasting, and confidence in the strength of its armies. It is to preserve that opinion of its power, which decreases every where, that Russia weuld not openly make any concession to the Poles —that it has fulminated against them proclamations, whilst it was obliged secretly to negotiate with them at the period of the dictatorship of Chlopieki, and that at this moment it addresses circulars to the European nations to interest them in its cause by the statement of charges and expenses which the war has cost. From this double character of Russian politics we may indulge in some hopes in favour of the negotia tions thus opened on the Polish cause. Russia is quite as desirous of a conclusion of the affair as Po land herself . and if the grand operations attempted at this moment by Alarshal Paskewitsch against Warsaw should not succeed, the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh, put to the last shifts, will no longer oppose even formal obstacles to the independence of Poland, which will be demanded by the mediating Powers, desirous of preserving the " balance of -• power" in Europe. The Mentz Gazelle of the 16th instant, states that it has received the following communication from a respectable source :—" Negociations have been opened for the purpose of effecting a cessation of hostilities in Poland. The Polish Commander in-Chief has been to the head-quarters of the Russian General-in-Chief, in order to carry this measure into execution. The independence of Poland is to serve as the basis of the treaty." The Archduchess Maria Louisa returned to Parma on the Sth inst., after an absence of about six months. _ The Finigerre, a Brest paper, contains the fo lowing letter, dated Lisbon, July 30 :—" The suc cess of the French expedition, instead of producing in Don Miguel more moderate sentiments, has only iucreased his rage, and stimulated his vindictive spirit. Those who displayed the least satisfaction at the appearance of the French squadron have become the objects of the strictest espionage, and will soon experience the effects. Captain Andrade, of the sloop Urania, which was captured and carried into Brest, is said to have excited the peculiar ani mosity of Don Miguel, and the Miguelites maintain that he is a traitor devoted to Donna Maria, who suffered his ship to be captured without resistance. We are therefore apprehensive that as soon as he arrives in Portugal he will be made an example to those who have not served the tyrant to the utmost of his unreasonable expectations. The truth is, that Capt. Andrade, who was charged with the blockade of Terceira, evidently acquitted himself of his task against his own inclinations, for he chose his cruising ground at nearly two hundred leagues from the island. This fact has, it is said, been denounced to Don Miguel by one of the officers of the sloop, and the Commander will be made an object of vengeance." The Journal de Neufchatel says :—" The Govern ment of Basle manifests its intention of frankly pur suing the path marked out by the new Constitution, and by its acts answers victoriously to the unfounded accusations brought against it. The regulations adopted by the Grand Council are altogether liberal. Free discussion has been introduced, whereas before no Member could express his opinion till called upon in his turn by the President. The publicity of the sittings has also been decreed." The Nouvelliste Vaudois has the following The revolution of the Canton of Vaud has been closed by the nomination of the superior authorities. The new Council of State and the Members of the new Tribunal of Appeal have this day taken the oath, and within ten days they will have entered upon their functions. Some of the citizens who were anxious for nothing short of a radical reform in the Personnel, as well as in the institutions, are discon tented with what has been dOne, but the great mass are gratified beyond their expectations. The Grand Council will shortly issue a proclamation, addressed to the people of Vaud. The Journal du Havre announces the arrival in that port of the brig Aclif, from Sr. Domingo, which she left on June 30. The letters she brings repre sent the exasperation of the inhabitants against the French to have reached an alarming .height. The Captain of the brig l'Ozania having been lately se verely and unjustly treated by the Hay tian authori ties, has transmitted a complaint to be laid before the Minister of Marine. Notwithstanding all their vain boasting, the Hsytians are terribly alarmed at every vessel that comes in sight, lest it should be a French ship of war. Captain Latreyte, commander of the Arthemise, has addressed to the Minister of the Marine a letter, contradicting in the most positive manner, a report that a mutiny had broken out on board that vessel on her return from Mahon. We have received the following communication from Boulogne relative to the late duel, which, being a correction of a material error in the account copied from the Messenger from a London journal, we most willingly insert—and the more so, that it ren ders justice to the character of the gentleman who unhappily fell on that occasion, which we have heard from other quarters, was kind and estimable :—" A very erroneous statement having appeared as to the death of Mr. Berkeley Bond, it has become neces sary to contradict it. No gambling transaction led to this event, as will be seen by the following state ment :—Mr. Bond, who was esteemed and beloved by all who had the honour of his friendship, had been for some time resident at Boulogne. He was most grossly insulted by a Frenchman (not a Belgian) of the name of Hesse, who had in correctly charged him with a promise to pay the debt of another English gentleman. On his having, on the 7th instant, been attacked by Hesse for the amount of this debt, he endeavoured to bring to his recollection, in the mild and gentlemanly manner which was pecu liar to him, that he had merely expressed to him his opinion that the gentleman alluded to was a man of honour, and would no doubt do justice to his en gagements; and that he had so high an opinion of him, that, had it been convenient to him, he would himself have lent him the money to liquidate the debt. Hesse, not satisfied with this assurance, re flected on the character of the person in question in a most ungentlemanly manner, and was finishing his discourse with insulting and abusive langua ge t o wards Englishm en i n genera l, w hen Mr. Bond, with justifiable warmth, took him by the collar, and turned him out of his house. From various state ments of this affair having been circulated, it was considered requisite, by a society of gentlemen in B ou logne, that a meeting should take place at the Subscription Rooms for the purpose of an explana tion of the circumstances. At this discussion it clearly appeared that no gambling or money trans . a ction (as alluded to in the London journals) had taken place ; but a gr oss expression havingbeen made use of by Hesse, Mr. Bond immediately chas tised him for it in a manner which such expression justified. On this an individual, stating himself to be the father of Mr. Hesse, stepped forward and said, that it was no longer a question of money be tvieen Mr. Bond and his son, but that the former having struck his son, must answer for it with his The result was an event which has caused a deep and general sensation in the minds of the most respectable part of the English population of Boulogne." The following are further particulars of the distur bances that occurred at Marseilles on the celebration of the Feast of the Assumption. During the pro cession, some young people uttered patriotic accla mations, and sung national airs ; upon this threats were made against them, and the penitents and the religious party proceeded to hostile acts, in which the females took an active share. On the return of the procession into church, the priest delivered a sermon, containing the following words :—" They think we are weak, but we are the strongest ; cry With me' Vive la Religion !" Vive la Croix !" Vive la Foi !' for it is, perhaps, the last time." This was repeated by the congregation. Several persons, sup posed to be Liberals, were afterwards attacked in the streets, and only owed their safety to the protection of the gendarmes. Two priests excited the mob by waiving white handkerchiefs, and repeati►►g the cries of " Vive la Croix !" &c. The National Guards, however, succeeded in dispersing the rioters about ten o'clock, and the next day there was no renewal of the disturbance. Several persons were wounded, but we do not learn that any one was killed. CHOLERA MORBUS. The following has been received at Lloyd's to day : " Sicilian Consulate-General, 15, Cambridge-street, Connaught-square, August 26. " have this day received a despatch from my Government, requiring me to make known for the infor ►nation of all merchants trading with his Sicilian Alajesty's dominions, that a communication arrived from the Board of Health in Trieste, on the 21st of July last, stating that the cholera morbus had made its appearance in the island of Achill, in Ireland. His Sicilian Majesty in consequence, with the unanimous opinion of the Board of Health, has resolved as follows: " Ist. That all vessels arriving from the island of Achill, or from any ports of Ireland, shall net be admitted. " 2d. That all vessels arriving from England, and from the island of Malta, freighted with bale goods, shall be subjected to forty days' quarantine, and all other vessels to twenty-eight days' quarantine. " I have the honour to be, Sir, " Your most obediert servant, (Signed) " H. S. MINASI. " To John Bennett, Esq., Lloyd's." CHOLERA MORBUS. At a time like the present, when universal alarm pre vail., from a fear of being visited by this dreadful scourge, and when the English Cholera was never before known to he so prevalent, it behoves every one, not only to observe the strictest precaution in their diet, to avert, if possible, its uncertain and momentary attack, but to be also prepared with the most efficient remedies, on the first intimation of its approaches. To counteract predisposition to such a malady, and to resist its rapidly progressive effects, Physicians of the first eminence, who have witnessed its ravages, invariably recom mend the use of pure Brandy as an indispensable requisite ; and as they have also discovered from practical results, that in every case of Cholera a superabundant accumulation of acid prevails, J. I'. Betts and Co. feel it a duty they owe to the Public again to point attention to the superior merits of their Patent French Distilled Brandy, which has the important recommendation of being free from those acids and astringent matter which contaminate the foreign Spirit, while its perfect resemblance in flavour to the finest Cognac has confounded the best judges of Spirits in dis tinguishing between them. The following testimonials of eminent Chymists, by whom the Patent Brandy has been analysed, are submitted as sufficient evidence of its pre-eminent claims to universal patronage, and to welcome it as the antidote to the threatened evil, as the concomitant specific by which to escape its frightful consequences. The Patent Brandy, which is of the highest legal strength, may be had, either Pale or Coloured, at 18s. per Imperial Gallon, and will be sent from J. J Betts and Co.'s Distillery, in Smithfield Bars, to any part of town, in quantities of not less than two gallons, for cash, on delivery. * A liberal discount to the trade. TESTIMONIALS. " SS, Aldersgate-street, Nov. 13, 182.9. " Stg,—The sample of Patent French DistiPed Brandy you sent me I have accurately examined; and having instituted a series of experiments on it, and on the finest French Brandy, I have in these comparative trials been able to discover so little difference, either in their composition or effects, that they may be considered as identical ; excepting that your Brandy is free from uneombined acid and astringent matter, which exists more or ess in most of the Brandies imported from France. " I remain, Sir, your's repectfully, " JOHN THOMAS COOPER, " Lecturer on Chemistry." " To Mr. Betts." ~ L ong Acre, Nov. 14, 1829, 44 Si Sin, —Having examined and analyzed several samples of ge nuine French Brandy, and compared them with the Brandy of your own manufacture, I am bound to say, and do assert it with confidence, that for purity of spirit this cannot be surpa•scd ; and that your Patent Brandy is also quite free from those acids which, though minute in quantity, always contaminate the fo reign spirit. g. In obedience to your request, I have sealed several bottles of your Brandy, which I shall preserve for the purpose of com parison, should this be required at any future period. " I remain, Sir, your's respectfully, " JOSEPH HUME, Chemist to his Majesty. 4 4 J. T. Betts, Esq." "3a, Upper Gower-street, Nov. 17, 1829. " Stn,—l have carefully analyzed the specimen of Patent French Distilled Brandy which you sent me for examination, and do not hesitate to express m y conviction that it is fully as free from every thing injurious to health, and contains as pure a spirit, as the best varieties of Foreign Brandy. " In accordance with your wishes, I have sealed and preserved several bottles of your Brandy, which may be referred to at.any future time if necessary. " I remain, Sir, your most obedient servant, " EDWARD TURNER, Professor of Chemistry in the University of London, &c. " John T. Betts, Esq." A Cabinet Council is fixed for this evening, for which all the Ministers have been summoned. Despatches were sent off last night to Viscount GaAxviLLE, our Ambassador at Paris. This day the village of Chiswick presented a very gay appearance, in consequence of the grand fete that is to be given by the Duke of DEVONSHIRE to their MA JESTIES. The village is much crowded. The Bishop of BATH and WELLS has an nounced to his numerous labourers, that he will henceforth give 12s. per week to every sober and industrious labourer who is able and willing to do a good day's work.— Wor cester Journal. The remains of the late Archbishop of DUBLIN were interred on Saturday. In compliance with bis ex press request: the funeral was strictly private. —Evening Padget. The Rev. H. J.

The loan is to be effected by the issue of this sum in state paper, or impe rial bank notes of 250 rubles each. They are to bear an interest of 4 per cent., or rather of 4 32-100ths, as each note brings 10 rubles and SO copecs. The regulations for carrying this project into execution would not much in- terest the English reader.— Tinges. Potatoes are now retailing in this city at one penny per quarter.— Worcester Journal. The great expectations of sport on the 12th of August have not been, in general, realized. Some of the moors in the neighbourhood of Otley were found almost destitute of game ; and on others the birds are so packed that they are most difficult to approach. The sellers complain bitterly.—Leeds Intelligencer. The harvest in the neighbourhood of Dor chester is now very nearly completed. A few days more will see the fields clear, and witness the celebration of harvest home, with all its jollity, its merry dance and gleeful song, on every farm. The ingathering season has closed as it began, with sunny skies and drying airs, and without any of those outpouring s of rain, th e visitations of Providence, which sometime s bli g ht th e h opes an d destroy the prospects of the agriculturist. The fields will thus be clear before the fatal Ist of September, and from the favourableness of the season for breeding and rearing, it is expected that game of every kind will this year be un usually numerous. Many large coveys of fine birds have been seen upon the wing in this immediate neighbourhood. ...Dorset Chronicle. PEICES OF THE STOCKS Bank Stock 3 per Cent. Red 8 214% 3 per Cent.

This National Print, now in preparation, is engraved on Steel, from a beautiful Drawing, painted expressly for the Proprietor of The Age Newspaper, by that admired Artist, David Roberts, Esq. It is the size of the News paper, and will be presented Gratis to the Subscribers of The Age, as a tribute of loyal affection to the Sovereign and his Consort, and of respect to the Readers of that Journal. To prevent disappointment, Duplicate Plates have been prepared at an expense of Five Hundred Guineas,—the Proprietor of The Age being determined to eclipse all his Contemporaries in the presentation of A SPLENDID WORK OF ART.

The Committee on the Reform Bill was re sumed last night, when, for the third time, the discussion of the 21st clause w as continued, and, fortunately, concluded. As the most compli cated portions of the measure are now got over, it is to be hoped the House will proceed swim mingly on to the close. The subject of the Irish yeomanry was again brought before the notice of the House of Com mons last night by Mr. LANIBErtT, who pre sented two petitions from the county of Wex ford,—the one from Protestants and the other from Catholics—praying that that obnoxious force might be disarmed and remodelled. The Hon. Member stated, among other thing 9, that he had made enquiries into the Newtownbarry affair, and was compelled to pronounce it " not only a gross and wanton aggression, but a deliberate and premeditated massacre." This called up Mr. MAXWELL, who denied some of the former statements of Mr. LAMBERT, and spoke of a document which he held in his hand, signed by forty Magistrates of the county of Wexford, to the effect that, if Government disarmed the yeomanry, a separation of Ireland from England would be almost certain to follow. Mr. O'CONNELL, in animated terms, insisted that the continuance of this obnoxious corps would be the means of prolonging the agitation and distress of the sister country, and assured the Government that they could not serve the party spirit of the Irish yeomanry, and at the same time benefit Ireland. Mr. DAWSON advocated the necessity of continu ing the corps in its present state, and dwelt with much vehemence on what he called the un constitutional cabal of the Irish Members. Mr. GRATTAN set the Right Hon. Member for Harwich to rights on this point ; and Mr. STANLEY, while he regretted that in the case of the Wexford yeomanry there should be an ex clusive Protestant system, while they were sur rounded by a Catholic population ; observed that though Government were not prepared to disarm the Irish yeomanry for the fault of a few members ofthe corps ; yet, that if any one instance should be brought forward of neglect of duty, the Marquis of ANGLESEA should be written to, to express his opinion of such misconduct in the most prompt and decisive manner. After some further dis cussion, Mr. LAMBERT, in defence of his asser tion that the Newtownbarry affair was a wanton and premeditated massacre, said that a ‘, f r iend of his had written to him upon the subject—a friend who was a Protestant, and a man o f gr eat wealth and respectability, and of unblemished reputation. He stated, in his letter, that on riding into the village he saw a horror-stricken husband bending over the body of his wife, whose womb had been torn open, and whose child, thus slaughtered in the womb, lay protrud ing from her body upon the ground.—(Hear, hear.) Notwithstanding this horrible transac tion, it was with the greatest difficulty that the Coroner's Jury could be got to pronounce a verdict of manslaughter against the atrocious butcher who murdered that unfortunate woman. —(Hear.) The people at the time cried Shame 1' but he persevered in his barbarity ; and, though this was as notorious as the sun at noon-day, yet it passed away unnoticed, and the murderer boldly walks forth in public unpunished for his crime, and his victim unavenged.— (Hear, hear.)" All comment on this fact is superfluous. It speaks for itself. We beg our readers however to bear in mind, that it occurred not among the Ashantees, nor the New Zealanders ; that it was not an atrocity committed by a Russian !HAW on his Polish victim, but by a Protestant yeoman on an un offending Catholic female, and that female a wife and mother ; that it took place in Ireland scarce two months since, and that up to this very hour it remains unavenged The discussion of last night on this sad affair will not, we fear, be productive of much good to Ireland. It was wholly of an ex asperating character, and will have the effect of widening yet further the breach between Catholic and Protestant. If Mr. O'CoN riELL, who headed one party was intemperate, Mr. DAWSON, who headed the other, was still more so ; while Mr. STANLEY, who came forward as a sort of peace maker, was unlucky enough to offend one faction while he only half-conciliated the other. But such must ever be the consequence of half measures. It is the curse of Ireland that, with the single excep- tion of the Emancipation Act, the remedies pro posed for her relief have always been of a bit-by-bit, a half-and-half nature. She has never been legislated for in a bold, liberal, and comprehensive spirit. First one partial nostrum has been proposed, then a second, then a third, and this while the patient is in the last stage of disease. The complicated character of Ireland's disorder seems in fact to have paralysed the whole political faculty. All have failed who have hitherto attempted her cure, and we much fear that Mr. STANLEY is not destined to be the first successful practitioner. He is wavering, and undecided how to act. He will, and he will not, prescribe ; is doubtful where he should be decided ; spiritless where he should be energetic. First he will remodel the yeomanry, then he will have nothing to do with it ; now he is half of opinion that severe measures should be adopted, and now he is all for delay, and letting things run their own course. Meantime the agitation in Ireland con tinues ; the blast increases to a hurricane ; the breach between Catholic and Protestant be comes daily wider and wider ; while Government, which by upholding neither, hopes to conciliate each of the two factions, experiences the usual luck of neutrals, and deeply offends both. We repeat, that half measures will never do for Ireland. The theatre of action is too stormy for such experiments. She must be treated in a vigor ous, and above all in an enlightened spirit, the remedy being duly proportioned to the disease. The Catholic population must be taught to feel that they are at home, not that they arc strangers in their native land. Government must disabuse them of the notion that they are not fit to be trusted, and that the Protestants alone are the sworn friends of. England. But this is a work of time. Granted ; then the sooner it is begun to be acted upon, the better. Every day lost in the attempt to provide an adequate remedy for Ireland, is a day gained to the cause of in. tolerance, and heaps fuel on the conflagration which though now smouldering, threatens hourly to break out. There is no fresh news from Poland, though, as the two armies are within sight of each other, we may hourly expect to hear of a great battle having been fought, unless the reported nego. ciations between the Commanders-in-Chief of the Polish and Russian armies puts a stop to all further effusion of blood. On the subject of this rumoured negotiation, which, by the bye, rests on no very competent authority, the Mentz Gazette says, " the independence of Poland is to serve as the basis of the treaty." Of course full and unqualified independence is here implied, otherwise the negotiations, it is plain, will end in nothing. The Messager des C'hambres speaks of a circular which has been addressed by the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh to those at Vienna and Berlin, requesting that they will join Russia in attaining the common object, the subjugation of Poland, in consequence of the enormous sa crifices that she has made " to the common interest of all legitimate Sovereigns." If this be true—and we see no reason to doubt it—it clearly proves that NICHOLAS is beginning to get sick of the war and doubtful of its issue, and that his immense power and resources have been most extravagantly over-rated by all Europe. The same Journal says that the corps already, exceeding 30,000 men of all arms, now remaining in Belgium, are marching to re-pass the frontiers, and re-enter the garrisons which they occupied before the expedition. That dreadful pest, the cholera, is striding with a giant's pace across the Continent, blasting and destroying all that comes within reach of its influence. It is now at the gates of Vienna. The Austrian Observer says, " In some parts of Hungary disturbances are said to have broken out in consequence of the measures against the cholera, which indeed caused a great inconve nience. The cholera is approaching nearer to the capital on the side of Hungary, and symp toms of it are said to be observed at Bruck, on the Leptha and Bohran, only a few leagues from Vienna. If this should be true, the EMPEROR and the Imperial Family will probably soon leave eßaedryenthiifiogr has been h P ee a n lace atSchonbrunn, where v prepared for their reception. The Foreign Ambassadors and the Imperial Court will also take up their abode near the Palace." These great men make e xtraordinary haste to get out of the way. The mighty Monarchs o f Russia and Austria are particularly mindful of s elf, and snuff danger with the keen, unerring scent of a pointer. The Emperor of RUSSIA locks himself up at Peterhoff; and his Royal Ally of Austria meditates an elopement to Schou brunn ; and yet these are the sort of men by whom Poland and Italy are enslaved, and Europe i s kept in awe ! Whatever other defects may be urged against NAPOLEON, he was not a crea ture of this calibre. He find at least personal courage. lie did not scud from danger, like a schooner before the wind, but looked it boldly in the face, and grappled with it, When the plague overtook his army in Egypt, who so bold, so regardless of self, so jealous of the safety of his soldiers ? First and last in the hospitals, ever by the side of the sick, where consolation was most :needed, he shamed the timid, roused the slothful, inspired the desponding, and set an example to his medical staff, which rendered it, says the Duke of RovlGo, the most efficient at that day in Europe : " VIENNA, AUG. 13.—1 n refutation of the report which has been spread that the city of Vienna is to be surrounded by a sanitary cordon, notice is hereby given that in case the cholera should break out in Vienna the city will not be separated from the country ; and should symptoms of the disorder manifest themselves i❑ the country, the latter will not be cut off from the city, but the communications will remain open. (Signed) " JOHN TALATZKO, " Chevalier of Geslietica, President of the Govern ment of Lower Austria." AUGUST 13.—The Exchange has been very agitated to-day. Various reports were circulated and the funds fell considerably. Alarming reports from Frankfort, announc ing the victory of the Dutch over the Belgians, and the occupation of Luxemburg by a Prussian corps, for the purpose of supporting the operations of his Dutch Majesty, have chiefly contributed to the great fall. On the other hand, letters from Cracow say that, on the sth of August, there bad been a serious action between the Russian and Polish armies, in which the latter had the advantage. The speculators for a fall endeavoured to turn this to their advantage, on the pro spect of a prolongation of the war in Poland. Even let ters from Genoa, which positively announce the evacuation of Algiers by the French troops, are circulated as grounds for making baste to sell, though no person can show any connection between the expedition to Algiers and the public credit of the continental Powers. To this it was added that the Emperor of Russia was ill. In some parts of Hungary disturbances are said to have broken out in consequence of the measures against the cholera, which indeed caused a great inconvenience. The cholera is approaching nearer to the capital on the side of Hungary, and symptoms of it are said to be observed at Bruck, on the Leptha and Bohran, only a few leagues from Vienna. If this should be true, the Emperor acd the Im perial Family will probably soon leave Baden for the Pa lace at Schonbrunn, where every thing has been prepared for their reception. The foreign Ambassadors and the Imperial Court will also take up their abode near the Palace. VIENNA, Aua. 13.—Five per Cent. Metalliques, 753, ; Four per Cents. 63 3-sths ; Bank Shares, 929 9-10ths. By the Brazil mail, which arrived this morn ing, we have received Papers from Rio de Janeiro to the 7th of June, from which we give the following extracts : RIO DE JANEIRO.-The Diario do Governo, from the 16th of May to the '7th of June, is entirely filled with a vast number of official notices from the several depart ments of the Administration relative to the internal affairs of the Empire. The number of June 3 contains the fol lowing proclamation of the Municipal Chamber : " Since the glorious political events of the ever-memo rable 6th and '7th of April, which are due to your heroism, and which announce such flittering and brilliant prospects to the great Brazilian family, the Municipal Chamber has seen with regret that your minds are not yet easy, perhaps because the expected ameliorations do not proceed with the rapidity that you think necessary to your welfare. The Mun icipal Chamber recognizes as well as you the necessity of re tbrms of the evils which the Government purposely tolerated for your destruction; but you as well as the Municipal must perceive the impossibility of effecting, in so short a time, ameliorations and reforms which nece,sarily must proceed in the course laid down by the Constitution to which we have sworn. The Municipal Chamber suffering from the same evils as yourselves, is going to submit to our worthy representatives the chief subjects of your displeasure. Let us trust in the wisdom of our General Assembly, which has given such repeated proofs of its devotion to the wel fare of Brazil. Let us hope in the wise measures of our re presentatives, who being chosen from among ourselves, cannot have interests different from ours. They know our wants, and will put an end to them. Be not precipitate, do not suffer yourselves to be deceived, if you desire the happiness of your country, if you desire that Brazil should be a nation of heroes. You were such in the field of honour, and you will still be so if prudence regulates your conduct. Support the Constitution and sacred code—be obedient to the laws—respect the con stituted authorities ; it is thus only that you will be happy ; and on the contrary, hurried from precipice to precipice, we shall fall into total ruin. And shall this be the result of the many labours, of the many dangers to which you have exposed yourselves fur the salvation of our country ? Shall this be the spectacle which we shall exhibit to civilized nations which now behold us with astonish ment ? Certainly not, you are Brazilians, and the nations shall still admire your prudence and your respect for the laws. Viva our Holy religion, the Brazilian nation, the Gene ral Legislative Assembly, the Constitutional Emperor Don Pedro 11., the brave Fluminenses.

We learn from the German Journals, as co pied into the French Papers of Wednesday, that the Magistrates of Konigsberg have addressed a representation to the King of PRUSSIA on the subject of the cholera, wherein they warn his MAJESTY of the danger which his Government was incurring by the permission of a contagious intercourse with the Russian army THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE O' CL 0 CE. - _ A Brazil mail has arrived this morning, but it is of an old date. Letters from Pernambuco and Bahia are of a later date than previously received—the former to the 2d July and the latter to the 26th June. All was tranquil at the above places. With the exception of the above we have no arrivals, consequently there is a great dearth of information. We hear that an express from Paris has arrived, the contents of which have not yet transpired : bad it been of importance the Funds would have experienced its effects, but they are nearly at the same price as yesterday. Con sols, which left off at 82 to opened at 82k, and at pre sent they are 82i for the Account. In the Foreign Market nothing doing as yet. HALF-PAST ONE. By the express from Paris we have received the prices of the French Funds, which are, Three per Cents., 571. 35c., left off 57f. 40c. ; Five per Cents., 881. 50c. All was perfectly tranquil in the above capital, and the project of the Law of Peerage was expected to go off smoothly, as most of the Deputies had turned, and wished the law to remain as before. We have no other arrivals to the present hour, nor is there any expected, except one from Holland, which will arrive late this evening. Consols, during the morning, have been fluctuating from 821 down to 82 ; at present they may be quoted at 82 to 1, with little doing. The Foreign Market is in a state of stagnation ; scarcely a bargain has been done. TWO O'CLOCK. We have this moment received the Journal des Debats, of Thursday, which only contains the following, from the Cracow Official Gazette, inserted in the Berlin paper, of the 17th : net ' : battless a w is, AU G . n h fi e . —e eve—lt is lo et of taking on og here place. t A h at a ge solemn - service was performed in the army, and the Generalissimo went down the ranks to encourage the troops. Field- Marshal Paskewitsch appears to be manoeuvring to evade a combat, and has retreated before our posts. The Poles have passed the Rawka, and their head-quarters are at Bossimou. It is expected that they will force the Russians to give them battle. The Russian troops which occupy Podlaski have made a new movement, to approach Praga. General Golowin, who commands, has sent a flag of truce for an exchange of prisoners. The insurrection continues in the environs of Witepsei. The defeat in the move ments of Tolstoi, the rising of the Vistula, has carried away the bridges, on which Rudiger's troops were to pass." No other news of importance. THREE O'CLOCK Consols, 821 COURT OF THE REGENT ORLEANS.--The Duchesses and Princesses of the Court partook of his dis graceful taste, and frequently got drunk. The mother of the Regent, CHARLOTTE ELizanEnt of Bavaria, in her letters, speaks, without blaming it, of the practice which the ladies of the Court bad adopted of drinking to excess. " Madame the Duchess DE BOURBON," says she, " can drink a great deal without being intoxicated ; her daughters wish to imitate her, but their heads are not strong enough ; they are, in general, somewhat less mistresses of themselves than their mother."--Memoira of the House of Bourbon.

THE CORONATION. It is already known that the Lord Mayor and Ald e ! . men are dispensed with as att en d an ts upon his MajestP,' the capacity of butler and ass i s ta n ts, at th e approachl Coronation. They ar e , h owever , t o hav e sea ts in Abbey during the ceremony. The presence of the M ar i ters of the Twelve Companies, who at the Coronation ° Geo. IV. accompanied the Lord Mayor and Aldertu . °l' has been altogether dispens e d with. Indeed the clOr, of the Masters of the Companies to wait upon his Pa ° testy have been altogether disregarded. The circul,°; stances which led to the denial of these claims, vib' e had long been considered of high authority, are raw .( remarkable. Before the Coronation of George IV., the Lord . and Aldermen transmitted their claims to the Court, were at once admitted to have established them. A test, however, took place between certain persons of city, as to who should accompany his Lordship and brethren. It happened that four of the Masters of exclusive Companies were not in office at the time Of preparations, and those who were substituted for them sisted upon performing service to the King, and made necessary application in due form, as Masters of Twelve principal City Companies. To their grief, however, the Garter King at Arms teem that they were wholly unknown to the Cour t Claims, and that the Lord Mayor and Aldermen ht point any twelve of their fellow-citizens, without to any of the Companies, to attend and perform service al Coronation. In order, however, to prevent confusion discord on so important an occasion, the Lord Mayor Aldermen appointed the Masters of the Twelve Cor assist them, and the ceremony passed over without quarrel for precedency. The negative to the claims Companies were not forgotten. A Committee had formed to examine the records, in order to support or pose the applications of the Twelve Companies on occasions of a similar description, and it appeared to Committee that the absence of privilege which the Companies had established for themselves by env' to confirm their monopoly to wait upon the King as commoners, was sanctioned by ancient usage. At the time it was supposed the Coronation of his sent Majesty would take place under the usual foi that there would be no reduction in the number vants at the ceremony, a Committee was appoint draw up a report upon the claim of the Twelve CA The research was, we understand, made by Mr. thorpe, Mr. Tyrrell, and Mr. Newman, who have up the report, which corresponds with the sentence Court of Claims, and flatly negatives their claims. report exhibits great industry and talent. The who drew it up were obliged to extract largely from city records at Guildhall, as well as from authorities St British Museum. It is a source of regret amongst the citizens of , that his Majesty has determined to dispense with the vice of the chief butler, as the exclusion of that officer argues a very uncitizenlike mode of con ceremonies. Indeed some go so far as to say that his jesty's object is to encourage that sort of abstinence which his civic subjects have never been very famoi However that may be, it is certain that the Chief trate will not have to perform the duty of handing cup to the King, although it is generally believing tb will be entitled to a gold cup by virtue of his butler. At the last Coronation Alderman Thorp, Lord Mayor, performed service as butler, and ' an unusually splendid gold cup as his perquisite. claims, it is said, will be made for perquisites by whose services are in these days of metropolitan nomy abandoned as altogether unnecessary. A able story has been revived in the city within the few days, relative to a former Coronation. On the sion we allude to the Coronation of the Monarch was for a certain day. The Coronation cup was under hands of the King's jeweller, and the Lord Mayor, intended to cut a great dash amongst his fellow-LI en da slily went to the person who was finishing off the 04i 6 01 and told him to make it 301. richer and more bea u ce ci than his instructions amounted to. This innocent P ie _ r , imposition was accordingly carried into effect, and his ship paid down his 301., and rejoiced in the supetig_., l o portance which the value of the perquisite would er rt y upon him. By some awful circumstance the day of C u nation was not only postponed, but actually appointtebio take place in anothar mayo ra lty, and the gold cup, "' I f o l' 301. worth of superiority, fell into the hands of a w ore_ ti o tunate chief magistrate and butler. It is recorded t ip when when th e L or d M a y or was rece i v i ng th e c u p f r om bis,r jesty, ther e was amongs t tho se who suspected the poiutment a general titter, in which all the Aldermen , one exception, joined.
