parties withdrew. The 4 Bight Hon. Gentleman (Mr, Canning) had asserted that the people of Portugal were in favour of this new •Constitution. But did he or could he give any proof of that fact ? The fact was, this country_ was supportin g a constitution which the people did not re quire. It had been forced on them by the King of the E ra 2 ils, and our troops were called in to prevent it from falling. When France invaded Spain, what language had been used with respect to that Act? The most severe terms were applied to it. Now he could not help thinking that the conduct of Great Britain was precisely similar to that of France. He could not separate them. They ought to withdraw their troops from Lisbon; for, small as the numberer was ( on l y 5 ,000 men), it was a body sufficient to Ovawe the people. If the fact were that the Portuguese wanted a G overnment of this nature, they would support it h art and hand, and would not require the aid of a few strangers. Upon these grounds he should oppose the grant. The' Hon. Gentleman concluded by stating, that when the report was brought up, he should record his sen timenont, by moving an ame n d men t aga i nst granting half a milli of money in the absence of all information. 11Ir. H. TWISS rose to answer the question of the lion. Gentleman, which the absence of his Hon. and tearned• Friend (Sir J. Mackintosh) prevented him from noticing. The Hon. Gentleman asked, " Does any man believe, where three parties sign a treaty, and one of them afterwards withdraws, that the treaty remains binding on the others ?" How then the Hon. Member could ask such a iesstion, he was at a loss to conceive, particularly looking to7he three powers in this case. He mould suppose three parties to a defensive treaty; one of these parties might afterwards wish to evade the other; and, according to the doctrine of the Hon. Gentleman, he had only to withdraw himself from the treaty to effect his purpose with impu nity, because in that case the treaty ceased to nding on th e a ll y , w h o would have no right to interferehe hi. Such was the effect that the Hon. Gentleman's doctrine must have. Ile stated this, because it would be most inju rious, if it went forth to the country that such an under standing prevailed in that House on a point of international law. Mr. CANNING bad been asked by a Gallant Officer (Colonel Davies) why he did not find means to prevent the French invasion of Spain,,as he had done to prevent the invasion. of Portugal by Spain. Now, supposing the circum stances to be in all other respects equal, there was still this essential difference—th a t in the one case obli ge d to interfere b we w ere not Y treaty, and in the other w e were-- (hear, hear ;)—and as their whole case rested on the ob servance of treaties, he thought this was a very fair answer. Another question asked was,— as no army was sent into Spain to support an attempt to form a snore democratic Government in 1823, why an army was subsequently sent into Portugal to defend liberal institutions in that country ? In answer to this, he would say, as he bad said before, that the army was not sent to Portugal to support any institu tions, but it was sent to save the kingdom of Portugal from invasion by Spain —Spain menacing invasion at the time, and this country • being bound by treaty to prevent it.— (Hear, hear.)--.115 thought the cases were sufficiently dis tinguishe; and on these grounds he deemed it unnecessary to enter farther into the subject. He had been asked early in the debate, whether the two commissariats were now going on ? The English commissariat were making disbursements on account of the English troops, and the Portuguese c ommissariat were also employed. If in the course of this co- operation a balance should appear on the accounts in favour of this country, to that amount there would be a clai m on Portu ga l. O n a former occasion, such a balance aPneared in favo ur o f E ngland ; and he begged leave to nd gentlemen that it h a d b een most honourably dis charm], Air. ions expressed hi s di sappro b ation of the Iltle3tion which existed between the Bank of England and the Government.

We said some days ago that the King's Government answered always by facts to the declamations of the Jour nals. It is only necessary to wait to be convinced of this assertion. What has not been said by the Journals on the affairs of the East? Have they not incessantly represented France and the Holy Alliance, as strangers to every sentiment of humanity, and as even repudiating the principles of Chris tianity which form its basis? It is but two days since one of these Journals (the Journal des Debats) maintained that France durst not decide for the Greeks, on account of Aus tria and the Divan. " It is not long since we were proud of defending the King's Government, as others place their glory in attack ing it. It is long since we have proved our devotion to the Christian cause, whether triumphant or oppressed; and we can assert that the Etoile, since its existence, has ne ver changed on this question. We have long confided, for the interest of this noble cause, in the councils of the King of France. This confidence has not been deceived. " It is now known on all sides that France has partici pated in the interest which all Europe has taken in the cause of the Greeks, and that she was a party to the first resolution of the great Powers for rescuing a generous people from the evils which it endured from those with which it was menaced. Those journalist-politicians, who settle • every thing• without difficulty, because their own ideas are the onlyobstaeles they encounter, cried out against the inaction of Europe, while she Was "acting*with . tWat prudence which ought always to characterise the proceed ings of the arbiters of the destinies of the world. It was necessary to avoid a war against the Ottoman Empire, which might bring about the dissolution of that empire, when it was made a question what should be done with the dismembered parts. " France always avowed that she would take part in the efforts, whatever they might be, which should be made for the pacification of Greece. • " In 1823, the King's Government proposed to concur in the most efficacious measures for stopping the effusion of Christian blood, convinced, doubtless, that the Divan would never, by mere persuasion, come to any arrangement with the Greeks ; and, since the commencement of the war, our flag has never ceased to protect the victims of the war; nor have we forgot the words of the King to the assembled Chambers, which announced the happy effects of our interference. 4 , What Russia and England hare done is known, and we can now assert that all the allies have adopted the pro position of France, to convert into a treaty the Protocol of St. Petersburgh. That justice which Frenchmen do not render to the Government of their King is now rendered by, foreigners, and the following document which we have received from London is the proof of this." [Here the .Etoile gives a fall and literal translation of the article on the subject of Greece, which appeared in the Times of Monday last.] (EXTRACT FROM AMERCAWTILE LETTER.) " CONSTANTINOPLE, MAY 10.—Letters from Smyrna, dated the 4th, say, that in consequence of the movements of Generals Church, Karaiskaki ? and Gordon, who had collected 10,000 men, and already taken several of Red said Pacha's batteries, it was expected to hear of the de. bverance of the Acropolis, which has been so valiantly defended. • " Lord Cochrane was in the vicinity of Poros, and had purchased forty Greek vessels, which he was furnishing with rockets and other instruments of destructions. It was asserted that this armament would be ready on the 15th of May, and that Lord Cochrane would then sail for Tenedos, to wait for the Turkish fleet. Meantime Captain Hastings has taken, in the Gulf of Volo, six Turkish vessels laden with ammunition, and has burnt four others. He thus has placed the Seraskier, who de pended on these supplies, in a very embarrassing situation. " All these accounts have considerably irritated the Sul tan and the Divan. " On the other hand, it is said that a Tartar is gone to the Dardanelles, with orders to the fleet not to quit Helles pont. After several meetings of the Council of State, the Porte is said to have caused Mr. Stratford Canning to be asked if it was, at war with England, since its troops had to combat fewer Greeks than English ? Every thing appears to announce a crisis which must lead to a decisive result on the question of the affairs of Greece.— Gazette of Augs burgh. " MADRID, MAY 27.—Our Liberals, who made so much noise, and spread so many exaggerated reports re specting the late events in Calabria, are now silent respect ing what is pasiin. in Arragon, soon to give vent to their perfidious joy if their new champion should obtain any ad vantages ; but nodimbt is entertained but that the Royalist volunteers will on this, as on a thousand other occasions, stifle in its birth thin► new attempt of the revolutionists. " The accounts from Tamarites and Saragossa have in fact informed us that the Royalist volunteers have entirely destroyed this new band of revolutionists, who had shown themselves in the mountains of Arragon. ‘, P ARIS , J UNE 6.—The following article is from the Observer of Trieste :--. " 4 A letter from Corfu of the 7th of May states, that, according to reports in circulation, the Seraskier Redschid Pacha, had been attacked by the Greeks before Athens, and after an obstinate engagement, forced to quit his entrench ments, and to retreat to the distance of two hours' march from the city. It was then easy for the Greeks completely to provision the citadel. " 4 A letter from Zante of the 3d of May confirms this news, and fixes the date of the attack made by the Greeks on the 19th, 20th, and 21st of April. The latter were commanded by General Church, Karaiskaki, Colonels Gordon and Heidegger, and Colocotroni. The same letter states, that Ibraham Pacha, after having in his excursions from the 20th to the 25th of April, ravaged the country, was then besieging Castel Tornese (opposite Zante.) It is said to be garrisoned by 600 men, under the son of Sis tini, who made a brave resistance. It was feared, how ever, that they could n o t long h o ld out. " The Captain of a vessel which has arrived from Modon, affirms that on the 29th of April, the Egyptian fleet of 27 sail, of which four or five were frigates, five schooners, and the remainder transports, had arrived at .Navarino with troops, whose number was not known.' (From the Constitutionnel.) Coaru, MAY 9.—Scarcely had Lord Cochrane received his appointment officially to the command of the marine forces of Greece, when he collected together his ships with the least possible delay. In the first instance, he published such military regulations as he thought would promote discipline among the marines, and enjoined the Captains of ships to' snake them known to those under their command: This wise resolution of the Noble Lord excited great enthusiasinl'among the marines. He then set out immediately for the Piraeus. On arriving near Athens lie made himself acquainted with the exact situa tion of both armies, and received Karaiskaki, and the Commander-in-Chief, General Church, on board his ship. The former informed him' of the position of the Turks, at the same time making known to the two Chiefs a plan of attack which would infallibly save Athens and the Acropolis, which were in the greatest extremities. This plan consisted in landing a thousand men, and at tacking the Turks on the left wing, while another corps of a thousand men should advance with determination to the citadel, and thus, while the enemy was engaged in a double defence, a third body was to attack them in the rear. The plan was agreed to with. enthusiasm ; Coch rane placed himself at the head of the marine corps, Church commanded the body advancing in front, and Karaiskaki took charge of these who formed the third di vision. The intrepid Hydriots, musket in hand, and the sword between their teeth, gave the signal of combat.— Redschid, surprised in his camp, in vain endeavoured to ani mate the courage of his soldiers, who, torn to pieces by three well-supported fires, sought less for an opportunity of defending themselves than of flying through whatever passage they could discover. The bravest baractcrs "(stan dard bearers), encouraged by the promises and examples of Redachid, fell victims to their courage. The field of battle was covered with dead and wounded ; the remainder took flight, abandoning the cannon of the besiegers, their bag gage, tents, and every thing else. Never did the Greeks exhibit more courage and unani mity than on this day ; their attack was conducted with the greatest spirit and fortitude, nor did their triumph stop here--Scarcely were they masters of the field, when Ka - raiskaki, seeing the enemy flying, cried out, Forward, Palicari, the dogs are escaping from us !" At the same time, with sword in hand, and followed by his whole troop, he pursued them to their destruction. They were now not more than an hour and a half's march from Athens when Itedschid saw himself arrested in his flight by a Christian troo t, which guarded the most important positions. We do not yet know the result of this affair ; but we learnt the details of the deliverance of Athens by a letter from Na rri di Ro man i a, d ated the 25th of April, which had b een 4 1, to Government by a soldier despatched from Ka imaid!skakes army immediately after th e fi rs t b a ttl e .

LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, JUNE 9, 1827. In our Paper of yesterday, we briefly noticed the contents of the Doge, of Thursday morning, which reached us, by Express, late in the after noon. We have now given in• another column the Article from the Etoile to which we alluded, relative to the course to be pursued by the G overnment of France with respect- to (reece. It is distinctly stated that all . the Allies have adopted the propositions of France to convert into a treaty the Protocol of St. Petersburgh. Amongst-our extracts will also be found some interesting information relative to the military affairs of Greece.

'We are convinced that our readers will sympa thise in,the satisfaction we derived from perusing the able and eloquent speech of Sir JAMES MACINTOSH, last night, in the House of Com mons. His arguments, derived from the Stores of history, -confuted the senseless clamour against coalitions. It was not a coalition Mi nistry, (said the Hon. Gentleman) that signed the peace of Utrecht, and endeavoured to ex clude the House of Hanover from the Throne of these Realms : it was not a coalition Mini stry that dismembered the British Empire, and lost North America by acts of injustice and oppression : but it was a coalition Ministry, composed of the Tories or Jacobites, Lord GODOLPHIN and the Duke of MARLBO, ROUGH, and of the Whigs or Revolutionists, Lord "SomEßs and the Duke of DEVONSHIRE, that achieved all the victories of the reign of Queen ANNE, and planned all the measures which secured and established the House of Ha nover on the throne of Great Britain. It was not a coalition Ministry that attempted to defeat those measures, but that fortified and strengthened them. There was another coali tion, of a more recent date . ---that of the immor tal Earl of CHATHAM. He had formed a coa lition with those against whom he had long con tended in a fierce, acrimonious, and personal op position ; and that coalition claimed, and justly claimed, all the glories of the Seven Years' War." But it is really hard to state plain humble facts like these in opposition to the declamations of the Ultras, about profligate Ministers and un natural coalitions. It quite spoils oratory to cramp it in this way. W e received this morning the Frankfort Journal of the 2(1 June, with a Supplement Extraordinary of the Journal de St. Petersburgk of May 19, containing accounts from the Army in Georgia,. which advanced into the Persian territory, and gained , some advantages over•the Kurdish Cavalry, amounting to 10,000 horse, which were put to flight. Thus it appears that, instead of promoting negociations for a peace, the Russians are renewing hostilities : GAZETTE EXTRAORDINARY. NEWS FROM THE ARMY IN GEORGIA. ST. PETERSBURGH, MAY 7. General Paskewitsch having assumed, on the 29th of March, the chief command of the Corps of the Caucasus, immediately ordered the necessary arrangements to accele rate tlie march of the vanguard, which was to get into the province of Erivan, under the command of General Ben kentiorff. Notwitbstanding the numerous obstacles caused by Leavy falls of snoW and copious rains, the vttnguArd, com posed of seven battalions of infantry, a company of light ar tillery, and two regiments of Cossacks, succeeded in pass ing, on the 6th of April, Mounts Akzbiuk and Bozobdal. General Benkendorff proceeded towards Etchmiadzine, and occupied it, without having experienced any resistance, hav ing met with no enemy, except in the vicinity of the vil_ Liges Aiglanlon, where the Persians, covered by their walls, opened a well-sustained fire on the detachment at the head of the column ; but a few cannon-shot and a decisive charge, executed by Major Youdine, with the two companies of the infantry regiment of Schirvan, put the enemy to Hight, and the villages were immediately occupied. The Kurdish ca valry dismounted, and opened a fire of small arms on the rein forcement sent to support the head of the column, but was every where repulsed by the tirailleurs of the regiment of carabineers. Thd baggage of the vanguard arrived on the 15th, with out accident, at Etchmiadzine, though the enemy attempted several times to attack it; but the measures taken by Majors Mintchenko and Belfort baffled all their attempts. In the monastery of Etchmiadzine a supply of provisions wasfound, sufficient for the whole detachment for five or six days. The venerable Narses, Archbishop of the Arme nians, notwithstanding his great age, followed the army, and, by his conduct, gave the best example to his country men. Leaving at Etchmiadzine the 2d battalion of the infantry regiment of Schirvan, 2 cannon, and a company of Cossacks, under the command of Lieut.-Col. Voljensky, Gen. Ben kendorff marched on the 16th of April to reconnoitre Sar dar Abad, a new Persian fortress, situated 20 miles from Etchmiadzine ' on the left of the road of T a ly ne . A t t h e same time he detached three companies of the regiment of Schirvan towards Erivan, with a view to draw off the at •tention of the enemy, and particularly to fatigue the Kur dish cavalry, which occupied the road of Sardar Abad. In fact, this cavalry marched towards Erivan, and there was some skirmishing between it and' the three companies above mentioned. At one in the afternoon, General Benkendorff met with the Kurds, to the number of 10,000 horse, com manded by Hassan Khan, a famous partisan, brother to the Sardar of Erivan. Three 'companies of Cossacks, of the regiment of Karpoff fed, and two companies of that of An.. drieff, supported by our cannon, and two companies of the re g iment of infantry of Tiflis, following the example set them by their officers, rushed upon the enemy with extra ordinary intrepidity. In a moment the Kurdish cavalry was put to flight, and pursued for seven wersts, with much loss. Amongst the killed was found the nephew of-Hussein Aga, of Kurdestan, and among the prisoners is Ismael Khan, of Arderum, one of the confidential Officers of the Sardar. The enemy lost in this affair SO horsemen ; and, for the first time since the beginning of the war, had not time to carry away the killed from th e - field of battle. The loss on our side was very inconsiderable. The wounds received by the Cossacks were chiefly from spears and sabres. The charge of our irregular cavalry, in which General Benketadoff gave fresh proofs of brilliant courage, is the more remarkable, as it has proved to our Cossacks with what advantage they could engage the Kurds. The follow ing officers particularly distinguished themselves on this occasion:—Colonel Karpo, of the 2d; Count Jolsloy, cap tain of cavalry, and aid-de-camp to the Emperor ; and the aid-de-ca►np to General Benkendorff ; as Ivell as the Georgian Prince Melekoff, who has brought to his Majesty the present report from the Commander-in-chief of the army of the Caucasus. The Georgian General behaved with much intrepidity in this affair. _ On the same day, at seven in the evening, General Benkendorff having made his detachment halt three wersts from Sardar Abad, advanced in person, with five com panies and four pieces of cannon, towards that fortress, which be approached within musket shot, and opened a fire with shells, which damaged several buildings in the place and caused great confusion. Colonel Gourka and Lieutenant Kotzebue distinguished themselves in this attack by their able management. After having reconnoitred Saraar Abad, General Ben kendorff, returned the following day to Etchmiadzine. The convoys-of provisions depart successively from Djelal Oglou. The second set out on the 24th April, escorted by the 39th Regiment of Chasseurs, two pieces of cannon, and 1000 Cossacks. General Benkendorff intends, as soon as this convoy reaches him to prosecute his offensive operations. STUTTG A RD, MAY 31. Her Majesty the Queen Dowager, set out out yesterday morning from Louisburg for England. Her,Majesty.will return to this city by the middle of October. MAXIMUS; JUNE 1. • Her Majesty the Queen Dowager of Wnrtemburg, who passed this city yesterday, travels under the title of Coun tess of Groningen. Their Serene Highnesses the Land grave and the Landgravine of Hesse Homburg, came to this city under 110,41Kyfcconany4 Countess of I%leiseu•. heim, to Lave an interview with her Majesty. Both Houses of Parliathent agreed last night to the proposed Address' to his MAJESTY, in reply to his most gracious , Mtssage, assuring his MAJESTY of their perfect Concurrence in providing for any additional expense which niay be incurred by the :tinitinuance of our Forces in Portugal. Mr. CANNING in the Lower, and Lord DUDLEY in the Upper House, stated the grOunds'on Which hiS Majesty's Go vernment felt it necessary to apply, for this_vote Of credit. The same causes, they stated, which induced his McmsTY4o . determine on sending out that expedition, though diminished in their operation, still existed in sufficient force to render the con tinuance of our Army in Portugal necessary ; adding, however, that although, there had been, differences and variations of Councils on the part of the Spanish Government, which had threatened a renewal of the same dangers, the tendency of the king of SPAIN'S Councils was now - less dangerous, and that the country might look for ward to a speedy adjustment of differences be tween the two Nations, and to a removal of the causes of them. It is obvious that the danger of an attack by Spain on the Kingdom of Portugal was immincnt, and that the intention of such an aggression was wrested solely by the energy of Great Britain, in dispatching an Expedition to Portugal, which, though small in numerical force, was most power ful in its immediate influence, and as an earnest that Great Britain would not permit an invasion of the territory of her Ally. It is equally obvious that the Councils of Spain have inclined towards the prosecution of the intended attack on Por tugal, notwithstanding the threatened opposition of Great Britain, and that if a tendency to aban don such intentions is now manifested, it has been produced simply by the dread of the ven geance of this country. While the Councils of FERDINAND are in this indecisive state, it is perfectly manifest that to withdraw our army would be to risk the recurrence of those dangers to our Ally, and to the tranquillity , of Europ e , which the energy and judgment of our Govern ment have hitherto averted. It is only by per severing in manifesting, by the presence of otir army in Portugal, a determination to resist any violation of the integrity of that kingdom, that we can hope that the Government of Spain will finally abandon - all its long cherished designs ; and although appearances of such abandonment of its views may now be favourable, it would be dangerous to calculate with too much certainty on a decision which will be contrary to the secret wishes both of the King of SPAIN and his Ministers. To provide, therefore, for the extra ordinary expences of the Army in Portugal, in case it should not be found safe to withdraw it at an early period, becomes a matter of absolute necessity, and the very fact, of Parliament having agreed to the vote of credit for this purpose will Cave its effect in shewing to Spain, and to all the Powers of Europe, that Great Britain will not shrink from the bold position she has assumed, till every chance of the aggression which was, contemplated on the territory of her Ally is at kn end, and the general tranquillity of Europe secured from interruption. The conduct of this country in relation to Portugal has exalted her character amongst the nations of the Continent, and has inspired them with fresh ideas of the spirit and power of her Government. Nothing will so much confirm that impression as our persevering in a course so energetically begun. Our readers must have perceived with much concern that Sir Tilos. LETHBRIDGE has left the shores of his native country, and that with out having provided any successor in the arduous task of singly offering a vigorous opposition in the House of Commons to his Majesty's Go vernment. It is true that Lord LONDONDERRY remains in the House of Lords, but what, if his Lordship should also be suddenly seized with a desire of visiting , Foreign Countries. What would then become of the Country ? Unable to answer this question ourselves, we leave it to the reflection and best judgment of our intelligent readers. - It would appear that the Americans are very angry at the conduct of the Brazilians towards their Consul ; and if their statement be correct, we think they have very just ground of complaint. The ship Spark was proceeding to Monte Video at the time of her capture, on the supposi tion that she contained warlike stores for Buenos Ayres, and when the American Consul remonstrated upon this aggression, the conduct of the Brazilian Admiral was in the highest degree insulting, as the following para graph will show : One of the seamen of the Spark, whose name is James Wyers, of Philadelphia, is now detained on board the Brazilian Admiral's ship, and is confined in double .irons. The Consul of the United States upon learning this fact, immediately addressed a courteous note to the gallant Ad miral demanding the man as an American seaman, forcibly taken from on board the brig Spark. The Brazilian Commander, in the plenitude of his power, addressed a most insulting letter (which I have seen).to Mr. - Wright, Consul of the United States, in which he did not deign to reply to any point of Mr. Wright's note, and advises Mr. Consul Wright "in fu ture to be more laconic in his notes, and when he (the Admiral) shall have learned English, he (the Admiral) will answer the note of Mr. Consul Wright !" The sea man yet remains in irons. " From the friendly disposition manifested by his Im perial Majesty," the people of the United States will be surprised to learn, that the Charge 61'Affaires of the United States having been repeatedly and latterly most grossly in sulted by the Government of his Imperial Majesty, last evening demanded his passports, and is now preparing to return to the United States ! If the insult which has been offered to the American flag by the capture of the Spark was the only infringement of neutral rights which has been practised by his Imperial Majesty on American commerce, it might be palliated; but there are many other cases—some of them equally gross, which the American Government have thought proper to overlook. We think that the sooner his IMPERIAL MA JESTY settles this question to the satisfaction of the. United States the better, for he would find them very troublesonie customers in the event of a maritime war. The Dynasty of DON PEDRO should steer clear of war "for the next fifty years at least, in order to consolidate its power, which will find many serious obstacles to its growth in a repubhean soil. Indeed, the Nest , York Pnquirer says that Monarchy has no right on the other side the Atlantic at all. It observes—" It has long been our serious conviction, that a Monarchical Government has no business in the Western World:. The house of Braganza fled thither " at its utmost need" for a refuge from the wrongs of arbitrary power in Europe; and they brought with them all the per verseness, selfishness, arrogance, cruelty, love of wrong, and other Monarchical vices of transatlantic despotism. These are ill-weeds, and should not be permitted to enracinate themselves in the American soil. Let Don Pedro (a self willed and weak-headed Prince) go back to his ancestral throne. His character will pass muster in the bead-roll of European autocrats. America has a right, from nature and from reason, to form one immense fraternity of inde pendent Republics. A despotism is a foul excrescence on the fair political face of these continents, and the sooner it is eradicated the better for our well-being. An occasion has presented itself when the United States can interfere with propriety, dignity, and justice, to do het part in achieving the purification of the Western World from this imported pestilence—=this unnecessary evil. It has already purcliased fifteen of the best . ships 'of the Greek marine. This measure will produce the happiest effects, for it will greatly facilitate the military operations. Lord Cochrane has, in order 'to avoid the abuses of the shameful partiality of some European dags, and to put a stop to the fallacious sophisms of the Austrian Admiral, declared by proclimation, 'conformably to the law of na tions, the blockade of the following ports—Modon, Coron, Newcastron, Patras, and all the others under the domina tion of the Turks, in the part of Morea where the Greeks are up in arms. " LIES OF THE DAY, " The Constitutionnel insinuates under the form of doubt that the armament at Brest is intended to make a show of hostility against St. Domingo. " It adds, that the merchants fear this; and though it does not believe a word . ofit, it says— , How can one sub mit to think the Ministry can carry its infatuation so far as to think of repeating the expedition of General Leclerc, and all the evils which it brought with it ?' " The same.—' A Russian squadron is in the Medi terranean.' " the Constitutionnel again—' Russia has fixed the 15th of this month for the commencement of active operations against Turkey, and has given notice of it to the several Cabinets.' "The Courier Francais and the Journal du Co»z nterce.—‘ There has been a great tumult at. Constantino ple ; the populace united with the ancient Janissaries have been guilty of great excesses . in the suburb of Pera.' "Journal du Commerce.—The French who are at Vienna have received orders from the police to leave that city in three days, if they cannot certify and guarantee, by • the testimony of six houses, that their business renders their further stay in the capital necessary. Our Ambassa dor has replied to those who have claimed his protection, that it was an order of the police, and that he could do nothing in it. " It is not said that the measure in question is applicable to all stranger's, and it seems to concern the French only.— There is every reason to believe, and this is the opinion of our countrymen at Vienna, that the order emanates from the police at Paris, and that it is the completion of the mi nisterial operations of the month of May."

THE QUEEN OF WURTENIBERG.—Her Ma jesty received visits yesterday, at the King's Palace, St. James's, froth the Duke of Clarence, the Duchess of Kent, and the Princesses Victoria and Feodore, the Princess Augusta, the Princess Sophia, the Duchess of Gloucester, the Duchess of Leeds, the Marchioness of Conyngham, the Marchioness of Downshire, Count and Countess Munster, Lady Mary Hill, and Lady Taylor. The queen has ap pointed Sunday to be the day on which she will receive the 'congratulations of the Foreign Ambassadors and Ministers. The Ladies of their Excellencies, it is ex pected,. will be introduced to her Majesty by invitation, at the same time. The Duke and Duchess of Clarence had a se lect party to dinner on Thur'sday, at their residence in the Admiralty. The Duchess of Kent and the Princess Feo dore honoured the performance at the Italian Opera House, on Thursday night, for the benefit of Madame Pasta, with their presence. The Duchess of Kent visited the Duchess of Clarence yesterday. Lord Bexley and Mr. Secretary Bonnie trans acted business yesterday with Mr. Canning. Despatches were sent off on Thursday night from the Colonial Office, to the Earl of Dalhousie, the Go- vernor of the Canadas. A Work entitled, " TIIE YOUTH AND MAN HOOD Or CYRIL THORNTON," in three Volumes, has ju , t been published, which, we think, is well deserving of pt&- lick attention. The author is obviously a person intimately acquainted with the world, deeply observant of all that has passed around him, and possessing an extraordinary facility and felicity of description. He is, moreover, a keen in spector of the workings of the human heart, and a sagaci ous tracer of actions to their sources. We are doubtful whether this Work is written by the author of " Reginald Dalton," or of the " Subaltern," but we feel certain tl.at he has been a soldier, and is, as unquestionably, a gent's. man and a scholar.

The Court was cccupied all the morning in the trial of causes of no general interest. (SITTING/ IN BANCO. ) Mr. Justice BAYLEY, Mr. Justice HOLROYD, and Mi. Justice Lirriratpaar, sat to-day in the Bail Court. V. THE TRUSTEES OF THE WEVER NAVIGATION. TIM PARISH OF This was an appeal from the decision of the Quarter Sessions, and the question at issue was, whether the tolls of the Wever Navigation were rateable for parish purposes... Mr. ALDERSON and Mr. Illsowtr argued at considerable length in support- of the claim set up by the parish, and contended, that as the defendants had a beneficial interest arising out of-the tolls in the parish, they were bound to contribute equally with the other parishioners. Mr. NOLAN was heard on the other side, and argued that the defendants were not liable, inasmuch as they had merely a right of passage through the parish, and were not the owners or occupiers of any part of the soil. In order to fix non-resident persons, such as the trustees were, with the payment of parish sates, they must he the possessors of real property in the parish, or must have a profit receivable out of it, and applicable to their private and personal purposes. In the present in stance, the defendants were trustees of the navigation on the - river Wever, for public uses, and for no other. As welr might a charge be made against the Commissioners of Sewers. . It was always held that tolls over a ferry, on a navigable river, were net rateable, and that light-house tolls were also exempt. Tolls at markets, by prescription, were in like , manner free, in this latter instance, as well as in that under consideration. The person to whom the tolls belonged might have merely a right to enter and collect them without being the owner of the soil. The Learned Gentleman still fur ther contended, that even if the tolls should be rateable, although the defendants were not the owners of the soil over which the river passed, still that the parish now suing had no right to recover, inasmuch as the profits were not receivable in it. The river passed through several parishes, and the tolls were payable by the boats for the right to enter on the river, and ; were exacted whether they „ did or did not pass through this particular pariah. Mr. Justice BAYLEY saw no force in the last -objection, for if the defendants ‘Vere the occupiers of land 'which in the aggregate yielded a profit, and if this land were situate in ten different parishes,. each would have a right to recover its share ; but in the precent instance it appeared thitt the de fendants were not the owners of the soil over which, the river passed, they were merely entitled to the right of way over it, which was, in fact, an incorporeal hereditament. Of late years the Statute of Elizabeth governed all decisions upon this subject; and, upon the authority of that Act, the Court was of opinion, that as the defendants were not owners of the soil, the tolls received by them were not . rateable,. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. Mr. Justice GASALEE sat this day, in the absence of the Chief Justice ; but no case came on of any public im portance. POLICE INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.) GUILDHALL. INCONVFMENCE FROM IRREGULARITY IN THE AT TENDANCE OF THE MAGISTRATES.--Sit P. LAITRIF. took his seat at a quarter-past twelve o'clock to-day, and find ing no charges ready, he supposed that there had been some irregularity in the sitting of the Magistrates since he had presided. He was_ informed that there had, ' and that sometimes_ the Magistrates sat at twelve, some-- times at half-past, sometimes at one, sometimes at hal.C past, and sometimes at two. Sir Peter regretted the, irregularity exceedingly. He thought it really ougi...t to be avoided. He bad always made it a habit r,f sitting at twelve, or within a very few minutes afte-,• it, and he was perfectly satisfied that it would gtl to the convenience of all the Magi s tr a t es , an d ` to facili tate tl p ie er e i x od ecu ap ti p o o n in o t f ed 7b a l t ic w b hc u i e l i t ne t s o s, to have the busi ness aave'onreeY o peremp tory tend f the day.
