phen's Anabaeis, or some author equally easy ; that they shall be acquainted with Arithmetic to the extent of a knowledge of vulgar and decimal fractions, and be able to read an easy French prose author. It is intended that for the Latin and Greek languages there shall he a junior and a senior class, as students may come with different de grees of attainment. But the Members of the University' Will not be required to attend the junior classes; if, upon examination, they are found to be fit for the senior classes, and there will be the same exemption in regard to the class of Elementary Mathematics. It will be a general rule, that the Members of the University shall be permitted to begin in that part of the course of study for which they are most fitted by previous attainments. This, how ever, will not be left solely to the discretion of the student; a previous examination, by Profes sors appointed for the purpose, must be gone through, before he can claim exemption from at tendance upon any part of the course of study deecribed as a qualification for the University certificate. Many will, no doubt, come with ouch a knowledge of Greek, of Latin, and of _Mathematics, as would render an attendance upon the Professors of these departments super fluous, and a misapplication of time. l'hey will he occupied, therefore, in the acquisition of other branches of knowledge during the years of their academical education ; and opportunities of eaining honours arid prizes in such studies will Eye no less open to them, than to high attain ments in classical and mathematical learning. The University year will consist of nine months ; the months of August, September, and October, being the long vacation ; but the Me dical Classes must probably- commence in Oc tober, and close in June. The hours of instruc tion will be from eight in the morning to four in the afternoon, eeeeept in the case of the Law Lectures, it being considered that from six to eight in the evening will be the time most generally convenient for Students at Law, and for the Pro feesors who may be practising Barristers. An evening hour may also be convenient for those evho are likely to be most benefitted by attending the Lectures on the application of Natural Phi losophy and of Chemistry to the Arts, and pro bably for some of the Medical Lectures. On Saturday all Lectures will be concluded by noon, and there will be short vacations at Christmas and Easter. The Course of Medical Education will com prise the subjects enumerated at p. 11, and the hours will be so arranged as best to suit the convenience of students. Attention will also be paid to a due compliance with the forms re quired by the Royal College of Surgeons and Company of Apothecaries in their examinations. An Hospital capable of containing a sufficient number of patients to afford opportunities of Clinical Practice, both medical and. surgical, and of illustrative Lectures, will be provided, as be ing an essential requisite of a Medical School; and a connexion will be formed with some dis pensary at a convenient distance. • The attention of the Council will be most particularly directed to the department of Law, than which there is none within the plan of the University affording a greater field ior usefulness, especially as regards those young men 7410 are destined to practise as attorneys, many hundr:eds of whom come annually to London from offices in the country. They who reflect for a moment upon the extent and importance of the interests coi-Ifided to attorneys, and the confidential inti macy to which they are necessarily admitted by their clients, cannot but feel. the necessity of giving the young men brought up to this branch of the profession, that high tone of moral senti ment which a liberal and enlightened education is hest calculated to rnpart.* IY. OF TES CIOVEArIaF.NT OF THE UNIMISITT. The ►yliele power of government is vested in the Counco, consisting of twenty-four persons, elected by the Proprietors from their own body, at an Annual G;:neral Meeting ; six Members of the Council go out of office every year, and only three of those can be re-elected, until after an interval of one year. The Council make all appointments, and enact a% regulations, whe ther relating to the course of suOy or to dia. cipline. There is also to be a Warden, who is to have the s uperintendence of the affairs of the Univer ity, nailer the Council, deriving his whole au thority from them. He is to live within the precincts of the University, so soon as a resi dence shall be ready for him ; and until that tune, in the immediate neighbourhood. He will he in daily attendance at the University, except during the. vacations ; so that he may be con ..!.ulted by the parents and guardians of the stu dents, if a communication with the Professors under whose tuition the student is to be placed shall not be deemed. sufficient. It will be his duty on all occasions where he conceives the in terests of the University liable to be prejudiced, to report the matter to the Council, and, if ne cessary, to interfere provisionally, until the deci tion of the Council can be obtained. The Council, with the unanimous sanction of a Special General Meeting of Proprietors, on the 30th of May, appointed Leonar d Horner, Esq. F.R.S, to the office of Warden ; and they have, for the present, united with it the duties of Secretary. Mr. Homer's occupations, until the opening of the University, will conaist in assisting the Council in the preliminary mea sures relative to the a ppointment of Professors, in communicating with Candidates, and with the architect during the erection of the buildings; and, as the Professors are elected, in taking mea ures with them for the purchase of apparatus an d of preparations for the Museums. In aclai-' Lion t o those duties, he will have to superintend t h e final:cial concerns of the University, and make . arrangements for the admission and the necessttrY classification - of the students. The Council consider it necessary to state distinctly, that the establishment of this office will in no respect whatever interfere either with their authority, or with their continued attention to the active discharge of their duties. V. OF THE PROFESSORS. All i!,he Professors are to be nominated by the Council. They will hold their office at the will of the Council ; but it is provided by the Deed of Settlement, .' that the Professors, Masters, and Tutors shall have ale privilege of appealing against dismissal, within One month after the same shall have taken place, to a .11:reneral Meeting of Pro prietors, to be called by the Clerk of the Institution fourteen days after noticc of such appeal." of b e an lA is in contemplation for allotting a portion f ta as a fund for allowances to Professors on retirement; and the Council will feel it their duty # The expert , ivers't •. education for this class has been aq' an 11 ' i ) • • A ct passed 1 an ry s G recognx!ed by the Legislature, in an iv. c. , 16. whireby - eoct is enacted, a c c . te 4 s B ; amended by S Geo.- d that " Persons who have taken or shoat take the degree achelor or Laws inof Bachelor RCa the Universities of Oxford, ca , !):!• bridge, or Dublin, may be admitted as Attorneys, Soho vas, or Silt Clerks, a f t , • 'evvlnt a Clerkship of three years." to tnske such allowances as liberal as the means at their disposal will admit ; and they will be so regu lated, that long and zealous services shall meet with a proportionate share of reward. The Professcr, when the subject shall appear to the Council to require it, must devote at least two bouts to the business of instruction on each day that his Class is appointed to meet ; one hour to he oc cupied by the lecture, and another hour to be de• voted to the examination of the pupils. But the duties of some of the Professors will not be confined to the hours here specified. An every case where written exercises are necessary for the proper in struction of the pupil, the Professors must devote all the time which the examination of such exercises may require. To most of the Professors moderate salaries will be allowed for the first three years, dating from the commencement of their duties in the University ; and in some cases the salaries may be continued beyond the expiration of the three years. But when the emoluments from the fees payable by the Students shall appear to the Council to amount to a fair remuneration, the salaries will altogether cease. In ca -, e of the illness of a Professor he will be re quired to provide a proper substitute at his own charge, when called upon by the Council so to do, such substitute to be approved o f by th e m. The Professors will have no power • collectively as a body; but there will be occasions when it will be necessary for them to meet together, for the purpose of preparing propositions connected with the affairs of the University which they may be de sirous of submitting to the Council for their consi deration. The Council resetve to themselves the power of appointing a distinguished individual to deliver an extraordinary course of Lectures on any de partment of knowledge, when they conceive it may contribute to the advantage of the students. It is intended that the Professor shall be en titled to receive after tide rate of from Four to Six Pounds per annum, for each pupil: the exact amount will be regulated hereafter, in re ference to the nature of the subject which the Professor is to teach : but future considerations may suggest the propriety of increasing or di minishing this rate of payment in the case of some of the Professorships. As to the probable number of students in the several classes, the Coun cil can give no other information than by stating the number of students which each Lecture-room will contain. The central part of the edifice—the only part about to be built at present, will contain four thea tres, each capable of accommodating 440 students seated. They will be occupied at different parts of the day by the Professors of Anatomy, Surgery, and Midwifery ; Chemistry, Materia Medica, and Chemistry applied to the Arts; Mechanical Philo sophy, Geology, and Mineralogy, and Mechanical Philosophy applied to the Arts ; Nature and Treat ment of Diseases, Physiology, English Law. The theatres have been so assigned, partly on ac count of the conveniences required for experiments, &c., by some of those Professors, and partly on ac count of the number of students which the subject may possibly attract. There will be two Lecture-rooms, each capable of containing two hundred and seventy students, which will be respectively allotted to the Profeesors of Latin ; Elementary Mathematics and Jurisprudence; Greek, Moral and Political Philoscphy ; Roman Law. And five other Lecture-rooms, each capable of containing 170 students, for the Professors of History; Political Economy; 'Medical Jurisprudence; the Higher Mathematics ; Logic and Philoso phy of the Human Mind ; Botany ; Zoology ; and of Modern Languages. The munificence of a Proprietor, a zealous friend of the Institution, affords the prospect of a Botanic Garden, within a short distance of the University. 'The apparatus, models, anatomical preparations, and objecte of Natural history required for the Lectures will be supplied by the University. In the estimate for outfit a large sum was appropriated to those ob jects : anti no opportunity will I.De lost of rendering I the several collections complete, when the Conned shall have adequate funds at their disposal. The materials used by the professors in experiments must be supplied at their own expense, and they will of course be accountable for the safety of the collec tions under their charge. The following Professors have been elected : Greek Language, Literature, and Antiquities— George Long, Esq. A.M., Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge, Professor of Greek in the University of Charlotteville, United States. Natural Philosophy and Astronomy—The Rev. Dionysius Lardner, LL.D. F.R.S.E., of Trinity College, Dublin. • Jurisprudence, including the Law of Nations — John Austin, Esq. of Lincoln's Inn, Barrister at Law. English Law—Andrew Amos, Esq., of the Temple, Barrister at Law, late Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge. Political Economy—John R. MacCulloch, Esq. Botany and Vegetable Physiology—William Jack son Hooker, LL.D. F.R.S. F.L.S. Professor of Botany in the University of Glasgow. Zoology—Robert E. Grant, M. D. F.R. S. E. F.L.S. Anatomy and Physiology, Morbid and Compara tive Anatomy, Surgery—Charles Bell, Esq., F.R.S. F.L.S.,Professor to the Royal College of Surgeons; John Frederick Meckel, M,D., Professor of Ana tomy and Physiology in the University of Halle in Saxony ; Granville Sharp Pattison, Esq., late Pro fessor of Anatomy and Surgery in the University of Maryland, U. S, Nature and Treatment of Diseases—J. Conolly, M. D. Midwifery, and the Diseases of Women and Chil dren-,--David D. Davis, M.D. M.R.S.L. Materia 7fledica and Pharmacy—Anthony Todd Thomson,.M.D. Engineering and the ..i.pplication of Mechanical Philosophy to the Arts—John Millington, Esq., F.L.S., Civil Engineer. The following Professorships being still vacant, the period for application by Candidates is extended to the first day of November next :—Roman Lan guage, Literature, and 4.ntiquities ; English Lan guage and Literature; FreneAt Language and Li terature; Italian Language and Literature; Spanish Language and Literature ; German and NM.thern Literature; Oriental Literature, more particularly Hindoetanee, Persian, R.O Hebrew ; Logic, and the Philosophy of the Human M;:eoi Moral and Politi cal Philosophy ; History, Ancient cad Modern ; Roman Law; Elementary Mathematics; Higher Mathematics; Chemistry; Geology and Minera -1 logy; Application of Chemistry to the Arts. Applications to be made, either personally or by letter, to the Warden, Leonard Horner, Esq. at the University Chambers, No, 7, Furnival's The Council would have deferred the election of all the Professors to November neat, Jild they not been influenced by the consideration that some of the subjects require a very long preparation, not only for composing the Lectures, but for obtaining the Professorships natoinical Collections, &c. Most of which they have now filled up are so circumstanced ; and the Council, moreover, saw no reason for delay, when they had it in their powe r to select persons eo eminently qualified for the situations. The council have received applicatioFis from several very 4istinguisli e d i n di v id ua l s f o r some of the ProlessoreMps ef the modern languages ; but they have thought it expedient to defer the appointments in this important depart ment of the University, until they shall have more maturely considered upon what system the modern languages are to be taught. The Council are willing to hope that the aPpointment to those chairs in November will still afford sufficient time l for the preparation they require. VI. Or THE DIsCIPLINE. The powers of the Council cannot, of c ourse, extend beyond the precincts of the University; but rules will be established upon this important subject, applicable to the different parts of the system. As soon as the Professors are appointed, such a code of regulations will be framed as shall appear to be most effectual for securing regularity of attendance, a due attention to the business of instruction, and a correct and orderly behaviour on the part of the students. The Council do not feel themselves called upon to devise any regulations with reference to the conduct of students beyond the walls of the Uni versity. But with a view to the comfort and satis faction of the parents and guardians of such young• men as may be sent from a distance, it is proposed to have a register at the University, to contain the names of those persons who may establish boarding-- houses for students in the neighbourhood, who shall be recognized as properly qualified. The privilege of being entered in this register, and of thus ob taining the patronage of the Council, will be granted on the following conditions : That the persons applying shall produce satisfac tory proof of correctness of character, with regard to religious habits and morals. That they will become hound to require their boarders to be at home at an early hour of the night. That they will not suffer gaming or any licentious conduct on the part of the boarders. That they will require their boarders to be re gular in their attendance at some place of public worship. That they will make an immediate report of any irregularity of conduct on the part of the boarders. That in case of the serious illness of any of their boarders, they will make an immediate report, in order that the parents or friends of the students may receive dne notice. That they will not receive any boarders except students at the University. And That the terms shall be moderate. If any privileged boarding-house keeper shall fail in observing any of these rules, his name will be erased from the register, and notice of that erasure will be sent to the parents or relatives of all the students who may be boarded in his house. • When parents know that there are houses under such regulations, they will naturally apply in the first instance at the University; and they may also have the advantage of selecting a person of the same re ligious persuasion as themselves, as there will pro bably be such houses kept by persons of different re ligious opinions. VII. OF THE FEES TO BE PAID BY THE STUDENTS. The Council are enabled to state, from exact cal culations that the expence of the whole course of academical instruction, although formerly stated in the Prospectus as likely to amount to 30/., will not exceed 25/. per annum for a Member of the Univer sity nominated by a Proprietor; and the Council entertain great hopes of its being made considerably lower ; but those medical courses which involve the great expence of dissections and of an hospital, must necessarily be somewhat higher. The whole expence of instruction will be very considerably increased to all such students as are not nominated by Proprie tors, and the nominees of Proprietors will in all cases have priority of admission. VIII. OF THE BUILDING. The Council obtained designs from several Ar chitects of eminence, and finally adopted Witt of William Wilkins, Esq. R.A. The plan consists of a central part 430 feet in length, with two wings, forming together three sides of a quadrangle, the central portico looking west ward, and standing on the eastern side of an area of above seven acres of freehold ground between Upper Gower-street, and the New Road. As the Council have resolved to come under no engage ments for which sufficient funds are not previously secured, they have determined that the central part only shall be built until a great number of Shares are disposed of. That part will, by temporary arrangements, be made to accommodate as many of the Professors as will in the first instance be ap pointed; but the Council anticipate with confidence that the means requisite for completing the building in all its parts will very speedily be obtained. That part of the edifice which is now building is to contain— Four Theatres for Lectures, each capable of ac commodating 440 Students. Two Lecture-rooms, that will accommodate 270 Students each. Five Lecture-rooms, that will accommodate 170 each. A Library and Museum, each 118 feet long by .50 in breadth, and 23 feet in height. A Hall for public occasions, 90 feet long by 45 in breadth, and 23 in height. An Anatomical Museum. A complete suite of rooms for the Professors and Students of Anatomy and Surgery. A Laboratory and Apparatus Rooms, for the Pro fessor of Chemistry. Rooms for the reception of the Apparatus of the Professor of Mechanical Philosophy. Several smaller apartments for the accommodation of the Council, Professors, and Officers of the Esta blishment. Until the wings are built, the Professors will not have a Lecture-room appropriated to each; but this inconvenience will be remedied as much as possible by provisional arrangements, especially in the case of those Professors who illustrate their Lectures by experiment. As most of the Students will remain at the Un►- versity the greater part of the day, from an early hour in the morning, care will be taken to provide due accommodations for their comfort, during the intervals between one Lecture and another. There will be two large rooms for their use ; and they will also have the Library and Museum, besides a range of cloisters 213 feet long by 21 feet in breadth. There will also be in the basement st ry, a range of apartments intended to be fitted up with the view of affording the students the conveni ence of obtaining refreshments. For this purpose a person will be permitted to sell, under certain regulations, such articles of refreshment as are suitable in such a place; so that there may• be no necessity for the students to go beyond the walls of the University, from the time of their coal ing in the morning, until they leave it for the day. There will be no Professors' houses, and no rooms for students within the precincts of the University. IX. OF PROPRIETORS AND THEIR PRIVILEGES. It is provided by the Deed of Settlement, that the Capital Fund of the 'University shall not exceed llyia s b t i t i b itY seribed by beyond 300,0001., nor be lesa than 1.50,000/., divid e d i n t o shares of 1001 . e ach. U p ward s of 150,000 i. has al ready been subs cribed, exclusive of donations. The deed of settleme nt full y p rovid es for thep o r nd theo tthectie aomnnonfn,of t pr h o n pr s i t e m to a rs i f .e ro sp m entie all v them. While it confer , ..i la;ge powers on the Council, it also interposes every proper check on any irregularity in the eNercise of those powers, by and . the a • the appointment of auditors, and by general and special meat:vas of proprietors for the revision of s rteigu-11:1ra'ct:rol?ns in the progress of adoption of time be re quired. the ltnh p i r i o e c Nx e , e b d y i t - i l g a s w, n s f a t n h d e I tl t i l e ire etablisWent as may from time to The rights and privileges of the proprietors under such deed may thus shortly be recapitulated :- 1. Absolute right of presentation of one student, in respect of each share, at such reduced rate of annual payment, and with such other preferences, but subject also to such rules and restrictions, as may be prescribed by the Council. 2. Interest en the amount paid on each share not exceeding 4/. per cent, out of surplus income. 3. Privilege o f transfer and Bequest of Shares. 4. In cases of ballot, a Proprietor of one share is entitled to one vote; of five shares, to two votes; and of ten shares mill upWards, to three votes; with the privilege of voting by proxy at elections. Donors of .50). and upwards are entitled to all the privileges and advantages of Proprietors, except the transfer and devolution of their interest. In addition, Proprietors and Donors will have the right of personal admission to the Library, and the various collections of the University. From the calculations that have been made ; it a.l)- pears; that if the number of students should reach 2000, an amount considerably within the expecta tions of the least sanguine amongst the promoters the University, the moderate payment already men tioned will enable the Council to pay interest of 41. per cent. upon the capital, after setting aside a large sum annually for the extension of the Library, Ana tomical Museums, and Collections of Natural History. This dividend of 41. per cent., together with the dif ference of payment between Students nominated by Proprietors and those not so nominated, will amount to a considerable return upon the amount paid on each share. It is desirable that Proprietors should promote he disposal of shares in their individual circles : the . • number of shares already taken is sufficient to carry the object into effect in the outset, but the fill de sign can only be accomplished by increased resources. Persons desirous of becoming Proprietors must pay the first deposit of 251. on each share. A second instalment of 10/. per share was called for the 24th of January last ; and a third, to the same amount, will be payable on the 6th of August next. But persons now becoming Proprietors after paying the first deposit of 25/,, will not be re quired to pay those instalments, except at the same intervals of time at which the original Proprietors were called upon. They will not, however, be en titled to the exercise of their privileges until they shall not only have paid up all the instalments that have been called for, but shall also have executed the deed of settlement. If the whole subscription is paid up at once, a discount of .5/. per cent. on the instalments not called for will be allowed. _ Applications for Shares may be made, either per sonally or by letter, to the Warden, Leonard Horner, Esq., P.R.S.; or to the Clerk, Mr. Thomas Coates, at the University Chambers, No. 7, Furnival's Inn ; or at the Banking-house of Messrs. Smith, Payne, and Smith, Lombard-street, where the first deposit. should be paid. Proprietors are informed that the Deed of Settle ment is open at the Office every Wednesday and Saturday, from nine to five o'clock, for signature by such Proprietors as have not yet executed it, and who will thereupon be entitled to their certificates of Proprietorship. The Rev. Dr. F. A. Cox has been appointed by the Council, Librarian to the University :—dona tions of books and communications on the subject of the Library, should therefore be addressed to him at the University Chambers. The Council, in conclusion, desire it to be under stood, that this statement is to 'be viewed in no other light than as a general outline of the plan upon which the University is to be conducted. It will be subject to all such alterations and modifications as may be suggested by further consideration, and espe cially when by actual experience the system shall have been subjected to the only sure test of its being adapted to the ends in view. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Gazette de France, Sept. 4.) PARIS, SEPT. 3.—. The Journals have announced the seizure of a Narrative of the Funeral of M. Manuel. None of them indicates the presumed cause of this measure; may it not be found in the inflammatory speech of one of the orators who ad dressed the crowd round the tomb ? If this discourse is culpable, which it is not our business to decide,' several questions will be raised in this affair; the first is, to know whether none but those persons are to be looked to who kindly declare themselves the authors of the work ; that is to say, whether the system of responsible editors is applicable to pamphlets as well as to newspapers ? The law will decide. At all events, the wish which all may be allowed to form, after the numerous complaints which have been made of the violation of the sepultures, which were trodden under foot on this occasion, is, that the Administration may think of providing, by positive regulations, that , the asylum of the dead may not become the arena of party, whieh might be easily prevented by admit t tuna ontrffiEliindjf and"chosen friends of the de ceased about the coffin within the burying ground. Another question will arise. It will, doubtless, be asked, to what degree the tomb or the hearse may become a tribune for harangues, from which whoever pleases may be permitted to agitate the multitude. There are legal enactments respecting the publica tions delivered aloud in the midst of mobs; and there are funerals which unhappily assume that cha racter. The respect due to religion, to the dead, and to the public tranquillity, replies beforehand to all these questions. _ . The Moniteur quotes from the Gazette de France, dated Monday (2d Edition), an article, positively denying the assertion, that an Algerine corvette of 22 guns was cruising off Cape St. Vincent. " We find no mention of such a vessel," says the Gazette," in our letters. The ships that sailed from Brest have passed Cape St. Vincent, as well as our cruisers, without seeing this corvette ; it is not known that any one, is at sea; all the ports of Algiers are blockaded, the merchantmen sail with convoy, and this corvette, if it really were there, in stead of being a cause of alarm would be only an easy and speedy prize to our men-of-war. Nor do we believe there is any more truth in the account of a cannonade said to have been heard in the direction of Algiers." PARIS, SEPT. 3.—We beg leave to remind the Journal des Debuts, that our yesterday's number contained a formal contradiction of the news which it repeats this morning, of a search made off Cape St. Vincent by an Algerine schooner. We persist in denying the existence of any Algerine vessels on those coasts. The journals of this morning announce a new composition of the Spanish Ministry. WTe do not find in our letters any thing to confirm this statement. (From the Quotidienne.) PARIS, SEPT. 2.—lt appears certain that the Prince of Orange will go to St. Omcr. His Royal Highness will be a ccompanied by General Pag e l, Minister of the Low Countries at Paris, The Russian Prince Barclay de Tolly and Prince Radzivil have arrived at Paris, the first from St. Petersburgll, and the second from Belgia. (From the Journal des Dehats.) (PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE. MADRID, .tic. 23.,---An express arrived yester day from Coina, which announced that the Curi Merino is cn the eve of producing an explosion in the province of Alcaria, and that the disposition of men's minds is so bad in the province of Coinga that the Authorities are afraid of a simultaneous in surrection there. The Carlists, according to the last letters of M. Campo Sagrado succeeded in en tering Gerona,, but they have since abandoned the town, after taking all the small f un d s t h at were found in the public treasury. It appears, by the same reports,' that the Carlists only quitted the town because they did not succeed in establishing such a correspondence with the fort as would have Made them masters of it ; while in the town, their party was very numerous.

First, t h e y have plenty of money, and they give a bounty of 40f. to every volunteer who offers with out arms, 80f. to every one who comes armed, and 190 f. to every horseman who enters mounted and equipped; secondly, they receive all who present themselves, without regard to their political opi nions, a thing which they did not do previously, and although amongst the Carlists there are a great number of men of constitutional opinions, there re mains among them a feeling of brotherhood, which leaves room for neither the appearance nor the sus picion of any difference in their political opinions. (Fran the Constitutionne/ of Sept. 3.) MADRID, AUG. 23.--Letters from Madrid con tain rumours of the following changes in the Mi nistry :—Zambrano, Minister of War, to be replaced; Salazar, Minister of the Marine, by the General Apodaca : Ballasteros, in the Finance, by Erro ; and Salmon, in the Foreign Office, by Lovano Torres. Calomarde has just now required all the papers connected with the former report, relative to the es tablishment of the Inquisition, which he wishes to establish, in fact, in order to maintain his authority. Zambrano has placed before his colleagues a spirited. writing upon the state of Catalonia; hislExcellency thinks 'that measures to suppress the insurrection cannot be two hastily put in force. M. Salmon sup ports his opinion, which is not that of MM. Ballas teros and Salazar. A circular has been addressed to the Bishops of Catalonia to engage them in exhorting the people to tranquillity and obedience to the laws. The Minis ter of Grace and Justice, who signs it, says that his Majesty has learned with the highest displeasure, that instead of appeasing the troubles, several Bishops have more or less directly fomented them. The Cellists of Catalonia have abundance of mo ney, and give 40 francs bounty to every volunteer without arms, 80 francs to those who bear arms, and 190 francs to every cavalry man who comes mounted, armed, and equipped. They admit men without re gard to their political opinions, and among their le vies are many Constitutionalists. They speak of a popular movement of which Sa ragossa has been the theatre. Here, as elsewhere, the agents of police had not seen clearly, and the Royalist volunteers are animated against them. For positive details, the courier, who is to arrive to-mor row, is expected with impatience. We receive from the kingdom of Murcia very afflicting accounts of the misery of the population, caused by the drought, which has burnt up the crops. . The establishment of a consulate for the commerce of Madrid has experienced great difficulties. M. Angulo pleads old age, and M. Andres Caballero his infirmities, as pretexts for not acting. , The news of Mr. Canning's death has given a momentary joy to the Apostolics, which was allayed by the nomination of his successor. The object of the Apostolics in raising Catalonia, is suppoeed to be that of raising the nation en masse, and precipitating it on Portugal, to raise Don Mi guel to the throne. A Royal decree of the 19th inst., orders the Military Intendant of Catalonia to raise money for the use of his division on all the funds in that pro vince, civil, military, and ecclesiastic ; and decrees the penalty of death to any who may attempt to frustrate the contribution. The Minister of War has just announced to the Captain General, that by the 26th of the current month he will have in Catalonia at his disposition 10,000 men of the best troops of the army, infantry, cavalry, and artillery, which, it is supposed, will be force sufficient to restore tranquillity. It is certain that the troops already sent have en countered and beaten the insurgents on the 18th inst. between Balagues and Ceruera. There reigns in the greater part of the cities of Catalonia the most unheard of disorder.

Those who are seduced to accept, such honours cannot easily withdraw from the insurrection, and, being anxious to take posses sion of their appointments, are in no small hurry to turn out the real functionaries; hence strife, dis order, fights, and the total suspension of administra tive action, judicial, military, and financial. Thera is no more mention of Charles V. in Cara- lonia. The only cries are Vive le Roi Absolu,' A bas la Police,' and ' Vive Inquisition. PARIS, SEPT. 2.—A courier extraordinary, who arrived at Bayonne on the evening of the 26th, has brought the news of the change in the Spanish Mi nistry. The following are the names of those who now compose it : M. Carvajal, Inspector-General ,of Volunteer Royalists, Minister of War. M. Erro, Minister of Finance. M. Salazar, Minister of the Marine. M. Calomarde, Minister of the Int er i or . It is also said that the Duke de l'lnfantado is nominated Minister of Foreign Affairs. The letters from Madrid of the 25th of August contain no intelligence of importance. His Majesty has had a slight attack of the gout. The new Sub-delegate of Police has taken mea sures against all secret societies. The last letters from Lisbon, of the 18th August, are likewise uninteresting. Gen. Stubbs, the Go verner of Oporto, was to have been superseded by Gen. Count de Villa Flor. The people of Lisbon are convinced that the Infant Don Miguel will arrive there without delay. (From the Journal des Debuts.) LISBON, AUG. 18.—(Private Correspondence.)— Another vessel coming from Rio Janeiro, yesterday evening entered the Tagus. The crew and passen gers of this vessel, which left Rio de Janeiro on the 6th July, announce that the Emperor had obtained permission for one year to go to Europe, from both Chambers; which confirms the first account brought by the Apollo. As soon as the Captain of this vessel reached the Tagus, he proceeded to Lisbon to deliver a letter to M. Aguiar, the Emperor's Charge d'Affaires; but as M. Aguiar died there several months ago, the Captain has handed the letter to M. Gomez, the executor of his will, the father of the Secretary of the Cabinet of the Emperor Don Pedro. Upon opening this letter, M. Gomez found in it an order to the P r i ncess Regent, and took instantly post horses to proceed to Cintra, to carry it to the Prin cess. The contents of this letter have not trans pired ; but persons who arrived this afternoon from Cintra, affirm that it has spread consternation amongst the Court of the Princess Regent. The Princess has admitted General Saldanha to present her a despatch from the Emperor, enclosed in a letter addressed to himself. The Department of Justice has been offered to the Judges, Messrs. Guion and Mattos, but neither of them world accept it. If the Minister of Finance persists in demanding leave to resign, as there is every appearance that he will do, then there will be only the Viscount of Santo Vena and the Count de Ponte, instead of Ministers. General Stubbs, the Governor of Oporto, who has rendered such eminent services, and who has con stantly proved himself the defender of the Charter, is recalled to Lisbon. Count Villa Flor departs the day atter to-morrow to supersede him ; and General Correa de Mello takes the command of the troops in his capital. It is affirmed that the worthy Count de Sanwayo, the Governor of this province, is to be replaced by the Baron de Albufeira, and that the Colonels of the 7th and 19th Regiments of Infantry are to be deprived of their command, for having re presented to her Royal Highness the services ren dered to the Army by General. Saldanha during hi s Administration, and for having expressed their re gret at his retiring. This change, although announced by the Gazette as having taken place on the 16th instant, had been eifeQted 'on the 14th7=that is to say, at a period prior to the arrival of the vessel, and of the letters above mentioned: This error is corrected in the Gazette of this day. M r . Fqrd, blacksmith, of Mildenhall, has obtained a patent for a Bit, upon an entirely new and very c urious principle, by which he undertakes that any horse, Chronic/e, however restive, may b P quieted immediately. --Rath ruicEs OF FOILEIGN:ins Austrian Bonds, 5 per cent Brazilian Bonds 6 1.04 Buenos Ayres Bonds. ozSi Chilian Bonds, 6 peg et. — Colombian Bonds Ditto, 1824 Danish, 3 per cont.

Some of our cotemporaries sadly exhibit their ignorance by stating that Mr. HERRIES and Mr. CHARLES GRANT, who attended the meet ing of the Cabinet yesterday, for the first time, " took their seats as Chancellor of the Exche quer and President of the Board of Trade." We need hardly inform our readers, that those Ministers do not sit in the Cabinet by virtue of the posts they fill, but as members of the Privy Council of their SOVEREIGN, who has been grate ciously pleased to admit them into that com mittee of it which, under the denomination of the Cabinet, forms the Government of the country. The possession of office is not even a necessary qualification for the Cabinet, as we• have recently seen in the case of the Duke of PORTLAND, who retained his seat in it after he had resigned the Privy Seals. The Paris Papers of Monday, and the Ga zette de France, dated Tuesday morning, reached us last night. Their contents are unimportant. The report which had been circulated, that an Algerine corvette of 22 guns was cruising off' Cape St. Vincent, appear. to have offended th e national vanity. The Gazette de France, ort Monday, published a Second Edition, for th e purpose of giving a formal contradiction to the report, and the other government papers copy the paragraph with great care. The Journal des Debuts contains a private letter from Lisbon, dated the 18th August, by which it would appear that the PRINCESS RE GENT is, by degrees, dismissing from her Coun cils and from employment all the most zealous friends of the Constitution. It is asserted that General STI/ BB s, the active Governor of Oporto, has been superseded ; that Count SANIPAYO is to be replaced by the Baron and the Colonels of the 7th and 19th regiments deprived of their command, for having repre sented to her ROYAL HIGHNESS the services rendered to the army by General SALDANHA. The same letter states that another vessel had reached the Tagus, from Rio Janeiro, and that t h e P RINCESS had received, by that opportunity, a letter from the EMPEROR, which hEd occa sioned muc h consternation amongst h er Court. The M o r n ing Papers also mention th a t F art h er changes h a d taken place in the Spanish C a bi net , but the G a zette de France states th a t i ts letters fro m Madrid make no mention o f th e cir cumstance. It is, however, most probable that these changes, if they have not already taken place, speedily will, for as M. CALOMARDE'S influence has prevailed, he will naturally fill every post with creatures belonging to his own party, and none but the advocates of the Inquisition, and of absolute power, will be allowed to remain in office. The French Funds have advanced, notwith standing the sale of an immense quantity of rentes, which it is asserted a great capitalist has recently effected.
