The French Papers of Sunday, and those - ' 44 ted Monday, have been received, but their rttents are only. important as giving the Speech . , (3 f Marshal SOUL?, the Minister of War, who . • announced to the Chamber the startling fact fat the French troops would not evacuate ,e Belgian territory, until assured against the of the aggression to repel which th ey had been sent ! This is just what we e xpected. Now the point of " assurance" will fiord the French what latitude they please; 4114 being rather disposed to remain they will 4 t be in any hurry to understand the terms of 1143, ; durance, or, if understood, they will not deem !Rodent to believe the Dutch, because they have de ceived them before ! Marsh a l S OUL? , however, qualifies this v .' . Matter by declaring that there will be no war , t or th at the Dutch troops should evacuate Del ' eiu m• But if th e D u t c h mo ve off, will not the reluctant march of the French create some queer 4uB Pieions ? And may not these p are the way to warlik e mi sun d erstan di ng , if' • nothing more : et ions take place ? For our own parts we care t , °l what b ecomes o f t h e B e l g i ans, so l ong as • h e far n o bl er cause of the Poles i s sacrificed by C owardice pr t reac h er y o f the present French °ve rnment. But there may b e a pr i vate reason f or Louis pu 14 'IPPg not recalling the army of the North ce P r eent from B e l g ium—and that is, the e : tal li odium and unpopularity which would , tn to him se lf an d hi s Mi n i s t ers , w h o a fter h e I .ng such a clap-trap display of mock role energy in sending 40,00 men into 4.,ni, Should recall the " brave army" • Ata fr-lt one shot having been 4red. Such a has e would be not only mortifying ) but per , o p eo li l he dangerous in the present temper of the he e and the enthusiasm of the army. And Who my two sons"—the hopes of France, the j e Martial devotion in hastening to the wars en u . n i ,ll -g . has so frequently turned to good ae 'fthat a disappointment to them this slid. I den termination of a campaign in whic h the y I had not even drawn a sword ! " The King of France, with 50,000 lIICU, " Alarch'd to Louvaine—and then tnarch'd back again !" This consummation will therefore please no body. But let us wait a little—though the firing be done, the smoke has not yet cleared off. The discussion of the debate on the Address in the Chamber of Deputies was adjourned till yesterday. CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES, Ana. IS. After several Members had delivered their sentiments on both sides, The President said, several amendments have been pro posed to the Chamber ; I shall now give them in succes sion ; the most extended is that of M. Larrbit :—Our armies, our National Guards are ready; the doubtful po licy of the German Courts may compel you to give the signal of battle; the Chamber of Deputies expect from the Government a project of law for doubling the nume rical force of the army, in case of need, from the moveable battalions of the National Guard. In this manner we shall secure our independence, peace, and liberty. M. Arabel rose and spoke—Gentlemen, when we as sured the Ministry that France is menaced by foreigners, their orators replied to us that we want a universal war, and that we want one day in war of propagandism—another that we want to recommence the wars of Napoleon ; this is imputing to us intentions that we do not entertain. The Minister of War—l shall answer very briefly to the speech of the Hon. Member who has just quitted this Tribune. It is solely for the purpose of tranquillising the Chamber in respect to the sinister observations with which the orator has just entertained us. I cont. as Ido not participate in his fears-:.-they are chimerical. The orator has spoken to you of Foreign Powers, whom he represents as taking a menacing attitude towards France. For a long time, gentlemen, we have been entertained with similar apprehensions ; the Government has - not been alarmed by them ; we have continued to show to France and to Europe that we await events with confidence, that we are ready to face men whatever they may be. What has oc curred these eight days is a satisfactory proof of this, and I believe that every one on seeing what we have dune far Bel ginm,will comprehend what we could have done for our own independence had it been menaced. —( Well said.) The orator has demanded what measures the Government had taken to be prepared for all dangers. He menaced the Ministry with the responsibility which they assumed upon them selves. We look at this responsibility, and we accept it with its consequences. Therefore, the orator may rest perfectly tranquil, and I request the Chamber not to articipate in the alarm which he has manifested. --(General laughter.) However, to say something tranquillizing on this subject, I will add, that the Dutch army, against which the French army has marched, has just received orders from its Sovereign to stop its march, and to retire before our troops. This order has officially reached the King's Government ; however our troops will not return to France on that account. Our troops will take convenient positions in order to afford ns the certainty that the Dutch troops will not return. — (Universal bravos.) The other Powers, according to the orator, are ready to attack us. Ido riot think so. The Government has received the formal assurances of their pacific disposition ; therefore, in this point of view, there is not the least cause of uneasiness or of chagrin— (Laughter)—therefore, let us entertain no fear. The Honourable orator has demanded that the Government should render moveable a certain number of battalions of tire National Guard. It is very true that a law which passed in the last section for the or ganisation of the National Guard, has left the question of inoblization undecided, and it is possible that the Govern ment will present a law on the subject. The Government, which perfectly knows its duties, and is determined to fulfil them, will present it at a proper time, when they shall think it useful to the defence of the country—its honour and its independence. German Papers of the 9th August have been received, by which it appears that the SULTAN has returned to Constantinople. The spirit of insurrection in Bosnia, although partly subdued by the victories of the GRAND VIZIER, has broken out afresh, so that he must recommence operations to put down the disaffected. The following are extracts VIENNA, Auc. 3.—General ITurdigg, Commander-in- Chief in Transylvania, is appointed Commander-in-Chief in Gallicia, in the room of General Stulterheen. General Rothkuch is to command in Transylvania. Prince Gallitzen, Major-General in the Russian army, set out from Vienna a few days ago with despatches for the Russian head-quarters. By Saturday next all the Foreign Ministers here will have removed to Baden, where they will remain at all events, even should the cholera penetrate to Austria, it being expected that that place will be exempt from the disease, because the air is strongly impregnated by the sulphurous aprings there. This expectation is jurrified by the fact, that no epidemic has ever affected Baden, when any such pre ♦ailed in tie country. Letters from Cracow, of 80th July, announce the ad vance of the Russian army towards Warsaw, so that the inhabitants of Cracow are in anxious expctation of the news of the result of a decisive battle. The cholera was 0111 raging in Cracow and the environs with unabated violence. From Beath this disease is rapidly approaching the frontiers of Germany ; it prevails to a considerable de gree at Kitt', and it is reported today that sympictrer of it have been seen in Baah. We hope, however, th it the admirable measures adopted by the Government will pro tect us against the disorder on this side as they have done on the side of Gallicia. Letters front Constantinople, of the lith July, announce the return of the Sultan to his capital on the Sd of that month. Salutes were fired from all the batteries. The schools, with their teachers, and a great multitude of people, were on the shore, as well as the Christian clerey in their robes, to welcome the Sultan. On the following day 80,0.00 piastres were d►stributed among the teachers, the sehola , s, and the clergy. The Sultan has taken up his residence for the summer in Therapia. Some cases of plague haul occurred, but the disorder had abated, and fur somerilys no fresh rapes had been heard of, BELottAnE, JULY 22.—Letters from various go tilers affirm that extraordinary agitation prevails in Ito=nia, and that, numerous bodies of 13osnians have advanced to the frontiers of Albania, firmly resolved to resist the troops of the Government. Among others, a letter from Nina, of 30th June (July 12) says, ft the first corps of eq.. Bosnians is rapidly advancing towards Scutari. it amouhts to 15,000 men, has stormed the town of Ipechi, where an Ayan Lady appointed by the Grand Vizier had a garrison of 3,000 men, and will soon jain Mustaplia Pacha. A second corps of 8,000 men is at Novi Bazar, and a third of 3,000 at Darned .." Thev, large r&nforee ments wdl enable Mostapha d'arLa again to resume offen sive operations agaitast the Crand Vizier, whose force is less considerable, and who must gain another victory, if he will hinder alkAlt.ania, Macedonia, and in part other provinces, from heisting the stand ird of rebellion.

Mr. HuME brings forward an important :no tion to-night in the HOuse of Commons, namely, an Address to his MAJEST T , that he will i e gr; musly pleased not to fill up the vacant Bee of Deny until a more suitable arrangement shall be made by law for the better application of its revenues. We hope the Hon. Member will be supported on this occasion as he deserves to be, for never was motion more imperatively necessary, ie and more entitled t o the su pp ortofal e, all profess to be the ,r e sworn foep . abuses. The Bi sho p ric of 1 i ho sisaewho Derry splen did principality, the revenues of which 'are for the most part wrung from the hard earnings of a people who profess a different faith, and who receive not the slightest equivalent for the sums they are thus called on to pay. As f or t h e reverend owners of this magnificent Sinecnre, they are usually absentees, whose sole duty is to pocket their enormous wealth, and distribute their patronage according to their sovereign will and pleasure. We must, however, except the late Bishop from this charge of doing little or nothing ; his 'Lordship was a perfect miracle of charity, overflowing, with the old 'Apostolic spirit of benevolence, for it son record, that though he only possessed twenty thousand a year, and had inducted only fourteen of his friends and kinsfolk into the good things of his diocese, he actually subscribed twenty : five pounds the other day to the starving Irish,—and this without any hope of return ! Some people may be unreasonable enough to say that this was but a sorry gift from so richly-endowed a churchman ; but their fastidiousness will be con verted into admiration, when they are told that it was just twenty-five pounds more than the rest of the Irish Archbishops and Bishops— with the exception of him of Tuam—subscribed for their starving flocks ! During the recent (and, we believe, still existing) famine in the sister country, the amount of charity con tributed by three Protestant Irish Archbishops and eighteen Bishops, amounted to the exact sum of— 0 ! consequently the subscription of the late Bishop of DERRY is really a splen did boon, and deserves to be appreciated as such, We are not without hopes that Mr. II UM E's motion may have the effect of paving the way to a Reform in the Irish Church. This establishment is the greatest incubus that ever yet oppressed the energies of a nation. It is a moral cholera, which is daily productive of the most wide-spread devastation. Scarcely a day passes but some one or other falls a victim to the tithe-system in Ireland : out of this ori ginated the • Newtownbarry massacre ; and to this is it owing that the benefits expected to ac crue from Catholic Emancipation have hitherto in some degree been neutralized. Were the sacred principles of religion strengthened and exalted by a rich Irish hierarchy, we should be the very last to murmur against such an esta• blishment ; but when every day that passes con vinces us more and more that the Irish Church, as at present constituted, is so far from bene fiting, that it actually degrades the sacred cause it professes to uphold, we cannot but wish to ' see it subjected to a purifying process of Re , form. Of what earthly use is it to remove the minor evils of Ireland, when the major ones are left untouched ? To amputate the finger when the whole arm is in a state of mortifica• tiou ? If Ministers really wish to benefit the sister country, they should begin with looking to primary, not secondary causes; to legislate upon any other principle for Ireland, is like commencing a house at the attics and finishing it at the foundation. The Irish Church once thoroughly reformed, minor evils would soon be found comparatively easy of cure ; but till this is done, nothing is done ; for partial reme dies to a country whose case is desperate, only aggravate what they would fain amend. A Wiltshire Anti-Reform declaration, signed by one hundred and eleven noblemen and gentle men, either immediately or recently connected with that county, is now going the round of the Press. The list of signatures at first sight appears im posing, but on a close inspection proves to be utterly insignificant, inasmuch as interest is at the bottom of the whole business, Those only ' who have something to lose by the Bill, have ventured to enter their protest against it: the signature of not one disinterested individual is attached to the list; desperate Boroughmongers and disappointed Ultra Placemen constitute the whole inventory, which must consequently wholly fail of effect. Besides, it is idle now to get up Anti-Reform declarations ; the time for those humbugs is past, THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY. TWELVE O' CL CK. 'The only arrival this morning is from the.

The first is that of IS,t t RICHARD 11., and it relates " tc, persons as shall not have or seep any greyhound, hound, or : other dog, to hunt, and shill' not use fryits, keys, hare pipes, cords, or other engines to take or destroy hares, conies, or other gentlemen's game."

The stock to-day is nearly 35,000 hhds. and 3,400 tree. The export demand for Mau. ritius is dull, for horno trade a fair business is doing. Foreign Sugars are not much inquired after ; the demand for the Russia market has improved. Refined goods ale less inquired after. CO FFEE.—Although the active demand which has of late ex isted in this market has subsided, still prices had not given way in so great a proportion as might be expected, recollecting the recent great advance. Coloury middling Jamaicas arc from to 745. Good and fine ordinary 625. 6d. to 675. Middling Berbice and Demerara 72.5. to 7Ss. per cwt. RUM.—The Government contract for 100,000 gallons of Rum has been taken this afternoon for the use of the navy. Business is, in consequence, suspended. The contract price has not yet transpired. The last contract was taken in May, for 100,000 gal lons, at a fraction under Is. 7d. per gallon. It is understood that the present contract has been taken nn Bever term*. There has been a good deal doing in the market. The export demand has been particularly brisk, and not less than 583 puncheons were de livered last week for shipment. For the home trade about 350 puncheons were delivered from the West India docks. The stock this morning is about :.N,BOO puncheons and 2,600 hhds. The BRANDY Market is heavy ; first mark is quoted from 4s. 4d. to 4s. 6d. per gallon, and the second marks from 3s. GI. to 4s, per gallon. SBICES.—The del-.and for Spices is steady, and prices are pretty firm. SALTPETRE.—This market remains in a most inactive state—the probable settlement of the Thlgic question has checked thespeculativedemand, which existed at the recent sale at the East India House. DlGo.—The demand is unusually flat. SILK.—The declaration by the East Imila Company of 2,h00 bales of Bengal, has rather incr6so the depresion in the Silk market, although it is less by 200 bales than the last declaration. OILS.The news respecting the success in the fisheries, has rendered the markets dull at the prices last quoted. BALTIC PRODUCE.—The Tallow market is again lower, the price not be , ng quoted above 395. per cwt. The large arrivals have produced many sales.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. GOODWOOD RACES. MONDAY.-For some time past active preparations hay. , been making in a:I parts of the country to give eclat to the -xpected Royal visit, and divers speculations have beei, lazarded upon the route to he taken by his Majesty, the i'armula to be observed in presenting loyal addresses. and the other details consequent upon so rare and so exciting in occasion. The arrival of the Earl and Countess of Nlunster at the seat of Lord Egremont, and the subse quent arrangements directed by the venerable Earl, added to the still more extensive accommodations provided at the hospitable residence of his Grace the Duke of Rich mond, encouraged the belief that the hing-prornised visit would actually take•place: the Chichester lieg s were especially on the qui rive—speeches were manu'actured, processions arranged, and every thing else duly ordered that might beseem a spirited and loyal city; the prices for lodgings, horses, stabling, and provisions (at all times dear enough), rose in proportion to the ciecasion, and there was a general and joyful anticipation of a glorious harvest in all the towns and villages within 10 or 15 miles of the place. Up to the latter part of the week all was sun. shine, when a death-blew WWI given to the homes of al parties interested, by the unexpected and (to them) un toward arrival of the Duke of Saxe Meiningen. Bad 1 news travels a " racing pace ;" it soon, therefore, became ' known in the vicinity of Chichester, that his Majesty could not, under existing circumsta;ces, participate in the festivities of Goodwood ; it is almost superfluous to I,ld, that the disappointment is severely felt by all chime. The absence of his Majesty is not likely to have any very pre judicial effect on the meeting ; iudeed, we have abundant reasons for believing that it will be one of urtt;;*,;a:ied splen dour, and that it will surpass arty other in the excellence ~ and importance of the ra ting. The following is a copy of the list of visiters at Good wood during the races :—Duke and Duchesa of Argyll, Lady Georgiana Paget, Lady Sophia Lenox, Captain Byng, Lord Albemarle, Lord Uxbridge, Colonel Russell, Lord G.

The Tipperary Free Press, alter its am mint of he invest on the body of Denis O'Shaughne csy, of fipperaly, lidle proctor to the Rev. Robert 17arew Armstrong, of Clonkelly, who was ma-dered of t the sth instant, when in the act of valuing a fiat i of .vhrat, has the following remark : " The tithe proctors employed by the Rev, idr. A► .nl - have been very unfortunate. In ISIS, h Pme\ .s " (Dwyer) was murdered near Clonoulty; in , 'Si'?, his proctor (Scott) was attacked at Donaskeigh, and his t ll-4 .hot ; and in 1831, his proctor (O Shaughnessy) ro t , warred }low lon will this dreadful system be allowed t 0 con-. •inue ? Why does not Mr. Armstrong agree to a fair settle ,nent for tithes with his parishioners under the Tithes r:4"Er position Act?" The same number of the Tipperary Free Pi .1. " .chick contains the above has an account of atiotl .tra'r with a tithe proctor : " In the last week Patrick Dwyer, Dr. Cotton's pro:- and his assistants, valuators of the tithes in this parish, were attacked on the lands of Kit ush by four armed men. One of the valuators, a man of the name of Ryan, was .everely beaten, and his tithe-book destroyed ; Dwyer and :lie other Rot off, being on tt.e opposite side of the field, in consequence of the appearance of Mr. Fogarty, who uckily was near the scene, otherwise we might have to add , he murder of another proctor to that of the unfortunate Denis O'Shaughnessy. " Dr. Cotton, upon application to Dr. Fitzgerald, '.wined an order for the assistance of the police, who went , vith the valuators on Tuesday last ; but such is the deter- • alined opposition of the people (in cAlsequence as 7eiript to raise the tithes), that they assembled in great autnlsers. fired some sorts, and sent forward a detachm.nt . of Amazons, who attacked the flying proctors with all.. sorts of missiles, some 44 which, if report speaks true, were not of the most odoriferous kind." These are daily occurrences, it would seer.n, in Ireland. As to the Rev. It. Armstrong, he, no loubt, considers it a purely arithmeticiti question- Every fresh murder of a tithe proctor.' must be felt in the bargain with his successor ; and when the terms are such as to render it no longer profitable to hold out against composition, he will scruple as to the further employment of proctors. He probably thinks that, as long as men have Mat object on to venture their lives for his tithes, he ought to have no objection to employ them. As ieligion s bound up with tithes, what is the sacrifice of their liras, compared with the obtaining a handsome income to the Rev. R. Armstrong.--Morning Chro-Acle. Last, night was devoted cliefly to Irish business in the House of Commons. One measure, the Lord Lieutenant's (Ireland) Bill (which went through a Committee), was objected to by Mr. O'Connell.— " Half t1i.... Magistracy," te said, " consisted of the Protestatit Rectors and Curates of parishes, who were not popular, and did not desire to be so He freely admltted that no just complaint could be made apinst th amintment%, or refusals to appoint, by the present Adirortittration, and he wishel matters to continue as they were : at present the Lord Chs,acellor was respon sible, and if the prospects held east by the Reform Bill were realised, that responsibility would be far from nomi nal. He defied Mis,laters to point nut an uneseeptionable Noblernan kr tisz office of Lord-Lieutenaut in any enuoty in Ire l and, of the Thirty Tyrants, which would place a &spat in every county. At present it was possible to appeal to the King 4, , To fly ..uto village despots to the Throne;' !rut hereafti.r that remedy, in the responsibility of the Lord Chancellor of Ireland, would be at an end. People had talked of the remedy of application to the King's Bench, but in England the dominion of that Court over the Magistracy was a mere mockery. In the last ten years, thirty appli;,yaarus. had been made to it against lUagistrateg, and not 4 single criminal information bad been granted. Ten of those informations were against Clerical Magi strates, although the proportion of them in Elglana WAS much less than in Ireland, In twelve of the thirty in stances, the Court had dismissed the complaint with costs, to be paid by the. petty complaining; in eight °diets it had been tii:ao4ted without costs ; and ten only with costs to bA Fai the Magistrates. Even in England there was a vast deal of despotism exercised by the Ma;istrates over the poor, anti how much snore would it he in Ireland, where itlagistratee were in hostility with Vaeir neighbours, and endeavouring to multiply prosecutions and convic tions P It is no easy matter for Englishmen to legielate for Ireland, and we can easily conceive that the 'effect of the Bill may not be always so beneficial as the framers of it suppose. If Lord Plunkett have made only good appointments, it is possible that .some of the Lord Lieutenants may recommend improper persons. But then Mr. O'Connell states, on the other heed, that for twenty years. while Lord Clare and the then Attorney -General Sanrin were at the head of the Court of Chancery, the appointments were generally bad, Under such a Government, had there been Lord Lieutenants of Counties, it is possible that the appointments during the twenty years would not have been so uniformly objection able. The truth is, that the English system is had, and the high system is bad. The Lord Chancellor must always depend on the recommendation of others; and the question is, whether he should de rive his information exclusively from Lord Lee ' tenants, as in England, or be at liberty to cboose his advisers, as in Ireland. All depends ors the quality of the advisers; and we learn from Mr. O'Connell, that " Sir A. Hart, when he took possession of the S.etds, determined to appoint to the Magistracy •no man recommended by a political partisan ; yet he had been himself surrounded by and imbedded in political partisans of an opposite faction." Lord Chetieellors, therefore, with the best intentions in the world, may be unable to sort uned themselves with proper advisers. Mr. Paget observed, that " in his opinion the zppnint meat of magistrates would be a power exercised with a much greater sense of responsibility in the hands of; a Lord Chancellor than in those of the Lord Lieutenants of coun ties. In respect of rank and qualifications the advantage would b e ah o geti t e r fin the side of the Lord Chancellor, for Lord Liettivaaats were generally men of high rank, and associa.::ml quite as little with the persons whose claims to the inagistracy might come under consideration, as even the Lord Chancellor. They most, of necessity, see with others' eyes, and hear with others' ears, and in what worse situation could the Lord Chancellor himself be placed ? If they looked to the English magistracy, they would see that it ittac'eudesl it large propertiou of the clergy ; and hearing that fact in mind, they must feel that the Lieutenancy of the counties had not been placed in good hands. Not that he meant to cast any imputation upon the moral character of the clergy; but there was no one wbe psid the slightest attention . m the subject could fai to he fully aware, that the e:lueation, profession, au!! hAbitt of the clergy, unfitted them for the duties of the magistracy. In his opinion the Bill would prove ereethiag but beneficial—aay :ning but conciliatory. Whim one-third or one-half of the treetis tracy eitere. of the clerical proration, what could they hape foe 2" There seems to be a rood deal in what Mr. Paget here observes. The Lord Lieutenants themselves know often evry little of the characters of the men apppoiated by them, and we all know that the ap pointments in nutty counties (in some the y are hood) are exc ee di ng ly o bj ec ti ona bl e . If a Lord Chancellor feeds that the individual on whom he has b-petaled for information has deceived him, he car recur to another source; but a Lord Lieutenant is teenerally a powerful individual, and when once ap pointed, he is only removed in extreme cases. When a county has a weak Lord Lieutenant, it is without hope with respect to its Magistracy. This country has. become so exclusively aristocratical, that any recommendation of a concurrence of the people in appointments would be unpalateable to the higher classes. We are satisfied,' however, that the only chance of having a respectable Magistracy is to make it imperative that the person appointed should, before being allowed to act, be obliged to have ; the sutTrages of a certain proportion—say three-fourths--of the inhabitants of the district within which he acts.
