SPIRIT Or TUE PUBLIC JOURNALS. Though the Paris , journals of Wednesday, which we receive() last night, bring: no intelligence of great importanee, they contain a number of articles which will be read with interest. The principal proceeding in the Chamber of Deputies, on Tues day, was the introduction of a bill to iepeal that violent proscription which was the work of the furious Ultras after their triumph in 1815. It was known from what passed in the previous sittings that this measure of reparation, which will recall to France a number of men who distinguished them• selves in the first revolution, was to be brought forward. With whatever disgust the conduct of some or these individuals may be regarded, the re peal of a law, the mere proposition of which was a gross violation of the Charter, is not the less an act of justice and wise policy. In consequence of the resignation of M. Casimir Perier, on account of ill-health, M. Latitte luts been chosen almost itani triously President or the Chamber. of Deputies. M. Labbey tie Pompieres succeeds M. Witte as first Vice-President. Some amusement was excited by a motion to discharge the two State Messengers of the Chamber. There is at present in France a strong disposition to dispense with much of the etiquette attached to political institutions; but the fashionable dislike of ceremony, though aided by the recommendation of some economy, did not succeed on this occasion, and the old messengers keep their places, which it seems they have occu pied since the commencement of the revolution, carrying messages with equal impartiality for every party which has happened to be in power, in spite of all the changes of so 'extraordinary a period. Several of the Paris papeas state, that Charles X. does not intend to fix himself' 'England, and that he expects, in answer to a letter he has written to the Emperor Francis, n invitation to reside in Austria. —Thu We alluded yesterday to an argument advanced is certain ultrit.loyal 'quarters, that the treaty of Paris guaranteed - the Throne of France to the elder branch of the Bourbons. The public treaty con tains no such stipulation, and on further inquiry we have reason to believe that there is no such secret ankle as that referred to by the Right•liners in question. One fact we can announce with equal confidence and satisfaction. The ready and cordial recognition of th e King of the French by the Eng. bah Government ii thoroeghly acquiesced in by all the great Powers of Europe : and no time will be lost by Russia, Austria, and Prussia, in signifying their complete and' amicable acknowledgment of the slaw Government of France.—Timer. .PerliaMent,'it seems, 'itt prorogued till the 26th of October, 'then to Meet "for the &smelt of busi ness." These ". words of course," as applied to the , • last meeting Of. Parliament, were merely such; fur it „ would not be a very easy matter to point out what business it really despatched.. Some persons seem to be of opinion that there Is more delay than there ought to be in assembling Parliament, and that 'its meeting is postponed to the very hist hour to which the vote of credit will extend. r We do not, however, feel inclined to quarrel with the period fixed; for, though we dare say Ministers arc anxious to post pone the evil day as late as possible,. yet, if they employed the interval to preparing.and maturing the pleasures which it will be their duty to propose to Parliament, this, with the relaxation which men in all public departments are entitled to expect, will not make the interval longer than could be rea amiably looked for. The period fixed is the week', atter the Quarter Sessions, and this week before the Term, when both the country gentlemen and the lawyers ,(Who form two such large portions of the Legislature) will be able to assemble with most convenience. But what is to be. done by wai rif foreparstion in the interim ? " There's the rub ' The Duke of Welliegteti, we imagine, cannot wil lingly attempt tip inarelt tbreugh Westminster with such a reg iment as he headed in the last campaign, The batt le which was then to be fought was mere child's plat to that' Which *ma: be now ex pected. Of the nauxiliaries . which the whipper-in . was sangume enough to promise his Grace, it is now doubted whether one will be found; while no• foreseen events "have ciacurred, requiring talents "'Nesbit is quite' clear, 'from past experience, the present Ministerial phalanx do not possess. 'Various reports are afloat of overtures being made to this and that party to join The Administration, We have heard various names mentioned, but none of sufficient weight to make any serious impression with the country. We should not at all wonder if, doe all, these minor negociations were to end in nothing, and that the Duke were forced to meet the new Parliament armed, or rather unarmed, as he did the last. If such should be the case, it will be easy enough to foresee what must be one or other of the issues. Either the Administration must sustain its weakness by such a liberality of conces sion es must disarm all oppesition, or it will be left its such a state, as to numbers, as will insure its overthrow. The Duke al Wellington, it is quite clear, is not only riot is statesman of inflexible mos lotion, but he is one who knows how to make a virtue of necessity. This he has proved of himself both on the subject of the Catholic question, and on his recognition of the new Government in France„ His Grace's position in the country is very differem to what it was only six months tsgo. Both at bottle and abroad the state of public affairs is strangely altered. As a man of expediency the Duke will probably accommodate himself 'to the! altered cir cumstances in which' he is placed• At all events, hie Grace has not much thne'new left for reflection p r eparation eitherbe.olUst ' be prepared tore. darn the errors of .his last campaign, or hand over the command to those who will. Thejournalist who calls the opponents of the Duke of Wellington a stupid and malignant (wine is blessed with a very convenient shortness of memory, as not many revolutions of the sun have taken place wince he de. signaled the same 'Dukens.one of the'" bully and brute Administrationr and afterwards expressed his satisfaction at the prospect of his being con- Aced to the Horse Guards for life, on the ground that his Grace was utterly unqualified for a political situation. We did not agree with this ineonsistent Journalist, when he made the Duke the objeet of his scurrilous attacks,. any more than now, when he offers to himolay after. day, the incense of his ser vile idolatry. The Hero of Waterloo deserved well of his country, but the , Military Premier has tar. Plotted, by his political errors, the lainels which lie acquired in weir. During the' whole of last Seasioo of ParliaMent the promises which had been held out in the King's Spertkof effective reforms in the administration of justice, were evaded, and the dile, tresses of the people , were treated with cold Wit (nonce or official levity.

I* —Morning Herald. To an article' in the Times of yesterday, to which we have not occasion to allude, there is appended the . following singular paragraph " A reference has been made, in quartets which we shall not at present name, to the Secret Treaty of Paris, in ' 1815. We shall now merely hint that the casus fwderis in that impolitic instrument does not apply; that the sup , posed guarantee is totally vitiated by the peculiar circum stances Vila present crisis. Let those who dispute this point publish that Secret Treaty, and we will demon strate that, as regards the existing condition of France, it is waste paper." This is a most important paragraph in many re spects. It is evidently derived from an official channel ; and it leaves no doubt that there is a Secret Treaty among the Allied Powers to gua retiree to the Bourbons the possession of the throne -of France, and that Great Britain and some of the other patties to this Treaty are now at issue with respect to the interpretation which ought to be given to it. We presume the point on which the defence of the English Government turns is, that the gun , rantee of the Allies had reference to the Government of France as then established, and that Charles the Tenth having himself set aside the Charter, and at tempted by revolutionary means to alter the Go verment and Constitution of France, has thereby deprived himself of all aid under the Secret Treaty. Another question, however, immediately suggests it self. If Charles X. and his Ministers communicated, from the commencement - of the Polignac Administra tion, the measures which they had it in contemplation to adopt, and ut the same time the other parties made no secret of their approbation of them in their diplo 'Made intercourse with England, is not the silence of England to be construed into a waiver, on her part, of her right to escape from the guarantee? The English Ministers ought, in fairness, to have inti mated to Austria (the Power, we suppose, which is at issue with us), and Russia, and Prussia, that the measures about to be taken by France would place that kingdom in a condition essentially different from that - to which the guarantee kid reference. This would have been but fair to all parties. - 'lf, however, the English Ministry, with the usual' Machiavelian policy not unjustly ascribed to Eegland, anxious for the success of the measures of Charles (and we believe in our conscience that the upper classes of this country were very generally desirous of that success), remained silent,-with a view to be able to shape their conduct according to circumstances, the objection must now come from them , with a very bud grace.. Is there a man in England 'possessed of a. vestige of common sense, who believes that the English Ministry were not . in full possession of the designs of the French Government ? Nay, that these designs were not the subject of fre quent communication betneen all the great Powers? The article in the Quarterly Review for May has been again and again- referred. to. The supposed author of that article, Captain , Basil Hall, was evi dently in possession of the intentions of the French Government; and as he is exceedingly anxious to be on the best terms with men in office, it is almost a certainty that he received his information from some of them, and knew that in writing the article he would give pleasure to them. The following passage is particularly to the point : " We, therefore, hope and trust, that the King of France and his present Ministers may succeed, if such be their ob. jest, in establishing a censorship on the press, and likewise in acquiring so decided a preponderant* in the Chamber of Deputies, that its existence as an independent hotly capable of bearding the Monarchy, es it has recently dune, shall be no longer recognised. This, we own, will be a virtual abolition of the Charter, but the question is obviously re titled to this: Shall the Monarchy, which is suitable to the country, be overthrown, or shall the Charter, which, in every possible, view, is unsuitable to it, be abrogated? It will be asked, why octal we care what France does? Why not let her do what she please% ? What have we to do with her institutions, as a nation, more than we have with the thimestie arrangements of our next door neighbour in this street? The answer to this, unfortunately, is but too ready. If our neighbour merely beats his wife and chil dren, and regulaiee his personal concerns in the worst way possible, we have no right to complain; but if lie gets intoxicated, and flings about firebrands, so as not only to set his own house on fire, but to threaten the destruction of the whole parish, we are compelled, in spite of our love of quiet, to take a lively interest in the proceedings. If the French could be circumscribed by a great Chinese wall, Within which they might cut one another's throats, a n experiment to their heart's content on religion anti demo cracy, it would signify less to the neighbouring countries. But when the amplest experience prover, that no comm. tion of any extent in Franco ever fails to embroil the rest of the world, and when we know that there ate innumer able objects of ambition, of aggrandisement, and of national revenge, sll at this hour conspiring to stimu late a large portion of the French population to fresh wars, we cannot possibly view their present un settled state without the deepest anxiety. We trust we have said enough to show that there is only one course of tneathret by which good order can he preserved ; and however repugnant it may be to our English tastes, the necessity of the case requires that we should nut shrink from the ;trial, but be prepared to witness, as the less grievous of the two evils, the temporary reestablishment of a tolerably absolute authority on the part of the Crown of Prance. If this be impossible, or if the attempt lie bungled in the execution, we may bid adieu to repose, end buckle on cur armour for another quarter of a century of wars, We think it is hardly possible to doubt that, un. lon the existing Government adopts, anti succeeds in car tying into effect some very decisive measure in the course of the present year, there will ensue another burst of con vultion ;' and Nepoleon has left no saying of more indis putable truth behind him, then that a revolution in France is a revolutibn in Europe." The construction which Mr. Cobbett, in his Register Of this . day, puts on the above passage, is perfectly fair " Here, then, we have it alll Plot, execution, and motive; and here it is clear as daylight, that this hired writer (eel homme d ()ayes) not only knew on the SOM of May of the designs that Poligrum attempted to execute on the 26th of July, but that that tyrant was instigated to the attempt by persons it, tine country 1 And instigated, too not merely by writers, not merely by deft pens ti guyrs, but by others, who were in all the. secrete of the affair. The object of this writer wee to prepare beforehand a justification for the measures of Polignac; to blind the people of England, and induce them to keep Eileut when the net of tyranny should have been committed in France. But how are we to be lieve that this hired writer (ret &Avian d gages) knew by mere self-ipfermetion, that Volieeac intended a censorship ,if the press an abolition of the rights. of election ? How are we to believe that in the month of May, this:nen knew that Polignac would attempt to do precisely thole things in the month of July ; unless we believe that this ecrivain payes had his n11(4111404 from some person. in this r e entry ? Polignac would hardly communicate hie hor rible designs to this low hit elieg. Nobody, can believe that' he dal this ; mid therefore we are constrained to be lieve that the hireling was, in the month of May, informed by some one in. London of what was intended to be done in Perlis, It WO attempted just as is here recommended ; the ortlinaeces imposed the Censerohip, and abrogated the Charter hut the scheme was 'bungled in .the execution the courage and the virtue of the brave Parisiens made it till ; and now count to be coniiitlertal the dangers which will eri,e to this country froM the quattgling of the 111 eXtCtitiOO, Bin a variety of 4rcurnstanees may be . urged to, prove the feeling in certain quarter* in this country with regerd to. the arbitrary measures pursued on the Continent. Our readers are aware that the hatred- of the Duke of Wellington-to Mr. flukisson is no common hatred. Why is this ? Mr. Iluskisson is not connected with any powerful party in the State, who might be desirous of sharing power with his Grace. lie belongs to a small band, in point of numbers and property—powerful only from talents and character—and the Duke's Administration te« quires, above all things., talents and character. Men of the world, like his Grace, put on and off loves OW hatreds as suits their convenience; and no one tobeves that his COCO tares for any One human being, from any.other cuoideration than the use of which he may. be to him. There being then so many reasons far being on good terms with this small baud, why the ha tre d t' Our readers cannot have re nt t b fottan the peculiar bitterness with which Sir 1l VII Ltd charged Mr. Mishima) last Session' ' 4 ' l , furgetting, ha his dibe'loures to tie , Hettse di" he had been a Cabinet Minister. They cannot either have forgotten that Mr. liuskisson, on more than one occasion, charged Ministers with a hostility to free Governments all over the world. A. Cor 7 respondent calls our attention to a passage in is speech of Mr. Huskisson's, of some importance in this respect. Referring to the paragraph in the Time:, he says : .4 By this bold face being put on the matter, we may safely conclude that all is made snug at Paris—that the Ministers of the four great Powers have succeeded in their entreaties to the French Government to keep secret the contents of the Iron Chest found in Polignac's bureau, as mentioned in the Courier of August the " But notwithstanding all this, the public, that obsti. nate Oldie, will still entertain their opinions when they turn to the columns of the Times for Juno, 1828, where they will find a statement of one of the initiated, one of the Duke's own Cabinet, who, on his dismissal, turned King's evidence, and in the face of Parliament and of the country, on the 2d of June, 1828, made a speech that astonished every one, and from which the following is an extract - " He (Mr. Huskisson) could not believe that Mr. Peel would think that the Minister should be more powerful than the House and the country—that he could entertain the notion, though lie knew some did entertain it, that it was the duty of Government to arrest improvement and controul advancement. Persons who looked with alarm at the example of liberty and toleration in other countries— who thought there was danger in the interchange of sentiments between nations, and of the moral influence which one nation might exercise over another,who dreaded such a change as much as he knew they dreaded the inter change of articles of commerce on more equal terms. " He should be ashamed if his Right Hon. Friend could see England reduced_ to a fifth or sixth station among the nations of the earth, and a Holy Alliance established here—that could think a Holy Alliance in this country ourchased at a cheap rate; lie should be ashamed could his Hon. Friend contemplate the liberty of free discussion- 7 of the freedom of the Press, and the placing again the expansive mind of man under an influence which would have an immenme standing army to entorce its operations 1' " This speech, :coupled with the abominable foreign policy acted on since the Duke has held the reins of Go vernment, will not admit of a doubt of his having joined the firm of Metternich, Polignac, end Co., and in spite of the aid of the Times, Courier, &e., he will be unseated, and deservedly so, from the place that he acknowledged he was incapable of filling in the year 1827." In Mr. llnskisson s speech on Lord Palmerston's motion, on March 10th, he had the following me morable passage, as reported in the Chronicle of the 1 Ith : " Would his Right Honourable Friend (Mr. Peel) toll him within how many days Louis XVIII. bad prepared the Charter of France ? Yet he hoped that that Charter was not doomed to experience a premature destruction, merely because it was prepared in the short space of three days. After a farther observation to the above effect, the Hight Hon. Gentleman proceeded to dilate upon what he conceived to be the alterations which had taken place in the laws of nations since the year 1815, complaining that wherever free institutions were proposed by the people, or improvements of any kind endeavoured to be effected by the popular voice, they uniformly experienced the opposi tion of every Court in Europe, and that military execution was inflicted on them by the nearest power possessing the requisite strength. He denied altogether the assertion made on the other side, that the people of Portugal were favourable to the rejection of the Constitution. He com plained, that at regent even legitimate power and legiti mate Sovereigns were not supported by the other Sove reigns of Europe, if they had any free institutions ; while, if they were tyrants, they received every support. This country ought not to act with such criminals, nor follow the practices of such persons." This from an Ex-Cabinet Minister! But the Secret Treaty must not be dropt : we shall return to ir.—Alorning Chronicle. PARIS, AUG. 23. (From the Private Correspondent of the Times.) On Sunday next the King will review the Na tional Guard. It is supposed that it will present an effective force of 50,000 men, completely armed and equipped. This superb body seems to have been re-organized as it were by enchantment, and will become still more brilliant. They form of it two regiments of a municipal guard, —one on foot, the other on horseback. This corps is intended to replace the old gendarmerie, but its duty will he altogether different. It will have assigned to it the noble task of protecting the city, and every idea of espionnage and secret .police will be banished from it. Every one of the soldiers composing it will be obliged to wear moustachios,—a practice which will preclude the possibility of disguise or secret provo cation. Out of the National Guard has sprung a magnificent corps of cavalry, commanded by young Ney, Prince of Moskwu. The re-appearance of names rendered so illustrious by victories, and which have acquired. an additional degree of distinction even from misfortune, is hailed with enthusiasm. In conclusion, the King has. thrown himself upon the nation, and from this instant France may assure herself of re-occupying the rank which belongs to her among the nations of the globe. In a few days order, which was only disturbed by the late conflicts, will be completely restored. The Court, adopting a just medium between silly pageantry, and a sim plicity equally incompatible with our habits, the interests of our artisans, and the dignity of the throne, will display that degree of splendour necet sary to attract admiration and respect, not the false pomp which dazzles and repels. Commerce re quires to be re-animated, and a narrow economy would be even worse than prodigality. Foreigners may return to our capital with the utmost safety. PARIS, TUESDAY EVININ(4. To the momentous events of which this capital has been so lately the theatre, has succeeded a calm that astonishes a stramger. Time alone will develope the fruits of the great struggle against despotism, on which the eyes of Europe are now fixed ; but it is gratifying to Englishmen to find, that the first question put to them in every circle in Paris is, ." What do they say of us in Englund?" Nobody asks what - will Russia or Animist do— , Prenchmen snap their fingers in derision of any counteraction of the Continental Monarchs ; but they are beyond any thing rejoiced at every syllable in the English Papers which indicates approbation anti sympathy fur their recent deeds. • The mind of Paris is now bent upon the com plete organization of the National Guard, and strangers are •surprised et the rapidity with which this very important row is embodied—in less than three Weeks nearly 40,000 citizens have enrolled themselves in full military equipments, provided at their own expense. They are daily parading ie corps of infantry and cavalry, and regularly mount guard at the public institutions. On Sunday th e y w ill b e reviewed by General Lafayette, who may with truth be now said to be the great leading patriot of France, the head of the•atmed citizens, and the dictator of public opinion. I must observe, as a most creditable improvement of the French character, that the voice of vengeance is not heard in the capital ; and almost every person with wliom you speak deelares regret at the .14ppre• pensionof M. de Polignac and th e other Ee.Minis. term. The Government itself, beyo nd th e i r mere and unavoidable nM d ereilktiall, too k no particular steps to interrupt their night, aad the King bimseli expressed his regret that Polignile had not suc ceeded in leaving the country.. The u n h appy Mi. nister of a guilty Oovernment betrayed himself by the feeble manner in. which he sustained his disguise air a domestic, and actually wore valuable diamond. rings, and an expensive watch, with the coarse garb of a menial. His pusillanimity in his mi s f or t une s has deprived him even of personal sympathy, and he is so implicated by the evidence detected in the Cabinet . of the Tuileries, that hill uliimate safety is hopeless, unless the Government are strong enough. to pass before hie trial the law for abolishing the punishment of jeatb. The Chamber of Peers dare not save him : in fact, as a legislativ e body they are looked upon by-the people with un ominous -indif ference, which any false: step would most dan gerously alter. The French people are ut this me- Ment, as far as I can see or hear, literally governing themselves. Lafayette and General Gerard or. 'puke arid make soldiers of whom they please, and t he King with a good grace registers their edicts. A considerable number of the Furiaians who fell in the tate : combat are interred. in pits dug in the open spaie before the outward facade of the Louvre. The spot is ; railed in in two separate places; over one wavea the tricoloured flag, with a crape bandeau, cypress trees are already planted, and wreaths of laurel, and fanciful emblems of flowers, which are daily refreshed by females, decorate this hallowed ground. The National Guard place sentinels to protect it, and every body approaches it uncovered. My eye was yesterday directed to the ball.marks on the gate and facade, and I unconsciously edged towards this tomb, my attention being occupied with the dilapidation caused by the shots, without complying with the required respect, when the sentinel gently tapped me on the shoulder, and in a tone of great civility, hinted that I should be un covered, " as I was treading on the ashes of pa triots." I was affected by the hint which my ab sorption had rendered necessary,and the man evinced pleasure when I apologised and explained to him that I had been looking the other way. It is de termined,' I am informed, to proceed forthwith to bring M. de Polignac to trial. The public voice may, unfortunately, be aroused by the production of strong evidence in this case, so us not to leave the Ministers, or any other body of moderate men, the power of saving him; but I repeat that at present the people are tranquil, and ready to listen to mo• derate counsels. It is impossible to hear the anec dotes which are daily relating of their moderation over the vanquished soldiers, without admiration. GERMAN PAPERS. THE HAGUE, Auo. 22.—We learn from Ghent thai there is no foundation whatever for the report that since the late occurrences in France extraordinary efforts have heeo made to accelerate the addition to the fortifications of Oudwards, and that, on, the contrary, the execution of two plans for improving the works have been indefinitely adjourned. Private letters from Berlin say, that the question whe ther the Prussian Ambassador should remain at Paris had been decided in the affirmative, though not without some opposition. The first French ship with the tri-coloured flag arrived at Hamburg on the 14th Aug. It was the Ilellona, Cap tain Boquil, from Havre. Letters from Switzerland say that the Swiss Diet, which closed on the 7th, was chiefly occupied In the latter sit tings with the fate of the regiments in France, which are placed in a very distressing situation by the late revolu tion. The Diet had, through its agents at Paris, M. Von Tschnn and M. Von Mailardos, presented a memorial to the Duke of Orleans, respecting the speedy return of the Swiss regiments to their own country, and requesting that proper steps may be taken for disbanding them, in confor mity with the capitulations. There is every indication that these steps will be taken without delay...— Colonel Fabvier, Commandant of Paris, had already ordered the Swiss officers, by way of precaution , _ to send their troops in detachm en t s o f 100 men to the Swiss frontiers, money is assigned to them to defray their ez pences by the way. The two gentlemen above mentioned have had an audience of the Duke of Orleans, who received them with the greatest kindness. Aua. 24.—The birth-day of our beloved Sovereign has been observed to-day with every mark of respect and at tachment. MAYIENCE, Attu. 7.—lt is reported here that our gar rison will be considerably reinforced : the same is reported of the other provinces. On the other hand it is affirmed that measures are taken at Strashurgh to provision that fortress with all speed. A corps of 40,000 men is to be assembled near Weissenburgit. Dausszt,s, Atm. 22.—W e learn from Utrecht that part of the 10th division of the national militia has already marched to the camp at Ulu, where the troops will as semble at the beginning of September. His Royal High ness Prince Frederick will probably have apartments in the palace of Soetsd)k for the time of the reviews, as he had last year. Lieutenant. General Cost Heiligers will re side at the chateau of Ter Heide. They are already erect ing tents, barracks, stables, &c. on the ground where the camp is to be. ST. PETICKSISUItUIt, Auc. 11.—Up to the 10th inst. 910 ships had arrived at Cronstadt, sailed 631. His Majesty the Emperor has been pleased to approve the piano( en exhibition of Russian manufactures at Mos imw,, like that which we had at. Petersburgh last year. The exhibition will be open to the public •on the 30th September (12th October). His Imperial Highness the Grand Duke Michael ar rived at Moscow on the 3d, took up his abode in the palace of Prince Golowkin, and began .to use on the sth arti ficial Carlsbad mineral waters, from which it is hoped he will derive great benefit. Leattoftw, AUGUST 11.—.-The ship of the line built here for the Pecha of Egypt, sailed yesterday under Tuscan colours for Alexandria. Several small vessels have arrived train Corsica; they had hoisted the tri-coloured flag, but took it down on entering the barbonr. These ships. are taking in cargoes of iron, corn, Scc., with all haste, in hopes that in the present state of things they shall be able to import them duty free. A ship with wine, rice, bis cuit, &c., has returned from Algiers with its whole cargo, which it Was nut allowed to land there, because no regular system had been introduced into the custom-house. VIENNA, Aim us' 14. —Prince Aletternich7in7tnediately on his return from Bohemia on the 10th, went to Baden to wait on the Emperor, who was expected to return to Scheenbrun •n the 14th, and afterwards to go to the family seat of Schwalm( till the opening of the diet at Preswburg on the Bth September. The coronation of the Crown Prince in Hungary is said to be deferred to the 28th September. An authenticated report states the amount of the corps to be assembled on the frontiers of Bosnia at 80,000 men. VIENNA, AUG. 10.—Metalliques, 98 4-6; Four per Cents. 93 3-16 ; Bank Shares, 1808. CORONER'S INQUEST. Yesterday afternoon an inquisition was taken, be fore R. CARTER, EST, the Coroner for Surrey, at the Artichoke public-house, Camberwell r grove, on the body of a tine little girl, named Harris Pritchard, aged nine yam the daughter. of Mr. Pritchard, a most respectable builder, at 5,. Vernon terrace, who Wes drowned, under the following truly distressing circumstances ;--Charles Warn ingeugh, a youth 10 years of age, residing in the same terrace, stated, that on Tuesday afternoon, about five o'clock, he was at play with the deceased and two other childree, in a field belonging to a Mr. Tureer, which adjoins the Grove, in which there is apm as:d.o time, im f e been After t h e y had be amusing themselves for the deceased little girl complained of being thirsty, and went towards the pond, taking one of the children with her, who was much younger than herself, Witness was at this time about a dozen yards from her, and saw her stoop down and take some water in her hand, which she drank, when, in repeating the operation, sh e un h a ppily lost her balance, and pitched, head foremost, into t h e pond.

He called for assistance us loud as he was able ; but no one coming, he tau to the deceased's dwelling, a distance of about one hundred yards, and informed the family of what had taken place, when Miss Hall, the sister of Mrs. Pritchard, repaired with- hitri back to the pond, and a l te r some delay the deceased was got out, when ,h e a ppeared, quite dead, Miss Hall, who resides with her sisters Mrs. Pritchard, deposed, that w h en t he preceding witness informed them of the . un f orinna t e event, the family was in the greatest confusion, having only just returned from the funeral of .;a ,near relative; but as soon as the melancholy tidings reached the ear of the mother, who was in the drawing-room, she rushed fran tieally down stairs, but fainted in the passage, ere s he could reach the front door.

The Jury, after expressing their surprise at such a singular fatality, returned a verdict of " Ac cidental death."

A coal-beaver, named Summers, of Colossal pro portions, standing very nearly seven feet high, was charged, before Messrs. WYATT and WALKER, with having treated his wife with great brutality for some time past. The wife, a very neat and well-looking female, with a child in her arms, detailed various acts of ill usage, and stated that she was afraid to go home, as her husband had threatened further violence upon the first opportunity. She was convinced that he would put his threats into execution, as she had re peatedly experienced ill treatment when under the influence of intoxication. On one occasion he had broken her nose by a blow with his fist. The Magistrates inquired of the man, who stood at the bar perfectly erect and immovable, with a look of drunken stolidity, his reason for ill-using his wife ? " Vy, your Vership," said Summers, " I got this here discourse to make. I veeks as hard as any coal-vhipper in the universal world for vot I yarns, and the only fault as I nose vot I can be accosted on is, that I gets drunk and vhops my vife. But I'll ony ax yer Verships, howsomever, you'd act if you verk'd as I've done for three veeks and never seed no pleasure. Vy youd go and get coinprtahle, and if so be as you got drunk, vy you'd go home and go to bed, with the salitfaction on your mind of know ing you'd been too hindependent to ax any body for a farden-piece to get drunk vith. My Sal there is as good a voman as a man need tp have, arid I'd scorn the haction to touch her vhen I'm solid and sober." Notwithstanding this eloquent defence the woman remained inexorable, and entreated the Magistrates to give her their protection. Mr. WYATT then directed that the man should be locked up till he found good bail to keep the peace towards her for six months. - Stop a moment Sal, said the coal-heaver, (as they were about to remove him from the bar) only jest let me kiss the child afore I go to prison. Accordingly he raised the child in his huge arms and bestowed a hearty kiss on it. This " touch of kindness" softened both "Sal" and the Magistrate; and after some advice from the Magistrate, he pro mised to conduct himself better in future, if his wife would forgive him. The Magistrate having lent his permission, the woman agreed to try him once more, and the parties left the office reconciled. QUEEN-SQUARE. Yesterday a middle aged man, named Joseph IVilliams, a private in the second battalion of the Coldstream Guards, was placed at the bar before Mr. MARRIOTT, charged with violating the person of Martha Allchurch. The prosecutrix, a very intelligent little girl, 10 years and three months old, stated that she lived with her father and mother, ut No. 23, Little Chapel. street, Westminster. The prisoner and his wife lodged in the same house, About five weeks ago, the prisoner called her into a room and then fastened the door. The witness here, detailed the prisoner's conduct, (which is unfit for publication); she called out for assistance, but all the lodgers were gone out. The prisoner afterwards told her to put the kettle en, and went away : he never came back. Witness was afraid to tell her mother. Mary Allehurch, the mother of the girl, stated that she discovered that her child was affected by a certain disease, and on questioning her, she told her the same story site had just repeated. She took her to the Westminster Hospital, to be examined by the surgeons. The prisoner's wife told her that her husband was diseased, The prisoner made no defence, and Mr. MARRIOTT committed him for trial on the capital charge, and the parties were bound over to prosecute. There was another charge against the prisoner, for violating the person of Jane . Coop, aged nine years, the daughter of a private in the same regiment. The evidence was not so conclusive as in the first case, and be was committed for the misdemeanour only, on which charge he will be tried, should he be acquitted on the capital charge. UN10N.11411.1. Yesterday one of the police constables of letter M. division, brought up a man to the office who vo luntarily surrendered himself as the murderer of an individual, some years ago, at or near Manchester. The policeman stated that while on duty that day, about twelve o'clock, near St. George's Church, the man at the bar came up to him and said, " I mu unhappy in my mind, and I wish to divulge be fore a Magistrate the circumstances of a murder which I committed in the neighbourhood of Man chester in 1822. He added that the dreadful act preyed so much upon his mind that he was wretched, and that he had now resolved to deliver himself into the hinds of justice, in order that he might m ee t with the punishment he deserved. The policeman then inquired his name, and be said that it was Joseph Pratt; and es he still persisted in declaring himself a murderer, he was taken into custody. Mr. SWABEY asked Pratt if ho wished to disclose any thing, remarking at the some time that he was under no compulsion to 'make any statement that might tend tacriminate himself. Pratt—Am I in the presence of Mr. Chambers ? That gentleman bud some knowledge. of me when I was employed in a Bank case at Manchester. He added, that.he should wish to make a fall confession of a murder which lie had committed in that town, to the gentleman of whom be had spoken. Mr. SWADEY could relate what he was anxious to disclose before him, and it would answer the OM purpose. • Pratt, with great :solemnity .of manner, mid, " Can Ibe furnished with half a pint-of beer before I unfold this dreadful tale ? I feel faitivas well as thirsty, and should feel thankful for that little indul- I genes before 1 commence." The Magistrate smiled at the request, but at the risme time permitted him to have the quantity he asked for, and no more. Pratt soon despatched the half-pint of beer, and after he had swallowed it a deep silence reigned throughout' the office, in the 'expectation that be would then relate the " dread ful tale." He, however, remained as silent as the rest, until at length the Magistrate Milted him if h e . writ desirous o f say i ng any thing upon the subject on which h e h a d vo l untarily surrendere4 himself?— Pratt muttered " I am mute fromehatinacy." The office being exceedingly full of people, the Magistrate order that Pratt might be taken into the private room, as he 'teemed averse to disclose the particulars oftheMUider which hi confessed to the polieeman having committed. In the private room he said, that he had mur dered a Mr. Wood, at Manchester, but refused to disclose more. The Magistrate directed that he should be kept in custody until inquiries were made at Manchester ;relative to the murder of the individual named by Pratt, who was accordingly remanded until a fu ture day. Some difficulty is said to exist as to which of the two Palaces to proceed with ! there not being fund' for the immediate completion of both. At present th e wor k, tit Pimlico seem pearly et a stand. It i s s s i4 that Dr. GnAY, Bishop: of 'Bristol, is not inclined to he translated to Banger. This how ever, will not prevent the promotion of Dr. Pnu.rcerrs. It is expected that the Bishop of Extras will be lets in ilensiLle than the Bishop of Bill/370t to the beauties of North :Welsh scenery. DEATH OP, GENERAL sup* t , • .
