OP I t r t ' ' r FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCM PAPERS. - (From the Messager des Chambers, dated Wednesday.) Pants, JULY 19.—1 n the month of February 20,000 horses passed through Hesse, which were purchased for French account in Hanover, Mecklenburg, and Holstein. At the end of February and the beginning of March, 3,000 horses came from Berne for the train and the gendarmerie in France, and 3,000 more will be imme diately purchased. Ctnsiderable numbers of horses were brought from Switzerland at the end of las t year, so that the whole number from Switzerland will he between 9,000 and 10,000. The light cavalry h as been, in the same man ner, re-mounted, by new purchases in Bavaria, Wurtem berg, and Baden : so that the whole number of horses bought in Germany aad Switzerland, for the French ar mies, may be estimated at 40,000 or 45,000. VIENNA, JULY 9.—By a cabinet order of the sth of this month, the Emperor h a s been p leased to command the suspension of the military armaments till further or ders. The cholera still spreads in Gallicia, as well as in Hungary, for which reason several regiments stationed in inner Austria have been ordered to the • Hungarian fron tiers, to form a cordon. All possible precautions are adopted here in case the cholera should reach us. The whole city and the suburbs are divided into small districts, in each of which a house is set apart for an hos pital ; so that if it should appear in one of these districts all communications will be cut off immediately. Accounts from Jassy of the 28th June have been re ceived here to-day, by an extraordinary courier, that the capital of Moldavia is, in the literal sense of the expression, no more. After the cholera had raged there for several months, as well as in the whole principality, and carried off an immense number of persons, the plague broke out, and lastly a dreadful fire, by which the few whom the ravages of contagion had spared were compelled to fly. A cordon on the frontiers of Moldavia and Wallachia has hitherto prevented the cholera from penetrating into the latter principality. By the same opportunity we have also received letters from Canstantinople of the 20th of June, according to which the plague had also appeared in that capital, and had spread considerably. (From the Journal do Commerce of Tuesday.) PARIS, JULY 18.— The Government having been in formed that attempts were to be made clandestinely to land arms and atnunition on the coast of Bretagne, has directed the precaution* which those criminal projects call for. Gun-boats are fitted out at St. Melo to cruise on the coasts of Ile and Vilaine. Similar measures will be taken at the mouth of the Loire. Le Hussard brig, and some gun-boats, are expected on the coast of Noirmoutiers and the Isle Dieu. The Diligente corvette sailed from Rochefort on the 14th, towards the north-east, and we may presume that it will take part in watching the coasts of Bretagne. (From the Morning Herald.) The Paris Journals of Wednesday, and the Messager and Gazette dated yesterday, have this moment reached us. Their contents are not important. Accounts from Algiers, received on Tuesday night, mention the failure of an expedition against Medeah, by General Berthezene, the Commander of the French forces in Africa. The army composing it (6,000 men) were obliged by the Bedouins to retreat upon Algiers, with the loss of 1,200 im-n. The reported new revolution at Rio was not credited in Paris. Our private correspondent adds the following most alarming postscript to his letter, dated Wednesday even ing I have this moment seen a gentleman, a native of Nancy, who had this morning a letter from his family, stating that the cholera morbus had manifested itself at Luneville-(France)." Our correspondent doubts the truth of the story, but the party from whom he had it was impressed with its correctness. The funds fell on Wednesday. The house of Roths child was said to be selling out through four different agents. Faciscm Ft:NDS.-PARIS, Am" 20.-Five per Cents. 87f. 87f. 20c. 10c. sc. 10c sc. 87f. Wit 80c. 8.5 c. 80c. 95c. 90c.

OPENING OF LONDON BRIDGE BY THE KING. Yesterday the London Bridge Committee assembled at Guildhall, for the purpose of making arrangements for the Ist August, the day on which his Majesty is to open the new bridge. Directions had been previously given by the Committee, to cover a considerable part of the bridge with an awning, and the workmen were rapidly advancing in the necessary operations, when the Chairman and several members of the Corporation went, at three o'clock, to judge of the probable effect of the plan upon which the ceremony is to be conducted. The royal tent is to be pitched at the London side of the bridge, near to the place on which Fishmongers' Hall stood, and will command an unobstructed view of the whole line of road to the Southwark side. The royal table will be laid for about 20 persona. On the left of it, extending to one of the entrances from Thames-street, will be laid two tables for the noble persons who will accompany their Majesties. One of these tables will be laid for 68 the other for 76 individuals. A large apace will be left open on the right of the royal tent, it being the intention of their Majesties to disembark at the Grand Wharf on the right of the bridge ; and the Committee having appointed that the procession shall go forward from that spot at the moment their Majesties land. A double row of tables will be ranged, on each side of the wide space through which the procession is to pass, for the accommondation of the other visitors who are to be admitted, if we may judge from the present appearance of the arrangements, to the number of one thousand five hundred and sixty. The awning which is to be placed over the long table, will extend to the length of about 400 feet ; there are to be three roofs to the large awning, so that the company will be as effectually secured against had weather as if they were to be shut up in the Guailhall, which the art of man could never make worthy of a comparison with the scene which will be presented on the Ist of August on London Bridge, the river, and the surrounding neighbourhood. Flags and colours, with emblems and devices, will wave above the heads of the company, and cannon will be fired at intervals. Bands of music will, in various parts of the arena, perform during the ceremony, and everything that can rontribute to render the spectacle delightful to the public will be done, at least so far as the Committee may be able to satisfy the public curiosity. The works on the bridge are superintended by Mr. Montague, the Clerk of the Works. The Lord Mayor bas given up the authority over the river for the day of the ceremony to Sir Byam Martin, and the arrangements on the water are to be under the direc tion of Mr. George Ledwell Taylor, the Surveyor tp the Navy. Their Majesties are to go on board the Hop.) barge at Whitehall, and the procession on the Thames is to be as follows :—First advances the Trinity barge, next the Victualling Board barite, awl then follow in order the Navy Board barge, the Treasurer of the Navy's barge, the Board of Ordnance barge, the Commander-in-Chief of the Army's barge, the Admiralty barge, the Lords of the Treasury barge, the Royal barge, the Royal Family's barge, the barge of the Lords and others in attendance upon his Majesty. From Somerset-house to London Bridge, barges splen didly decorated will be moored on each side of the river, and between :be barges so moored, room will be left for the small boats, eo that immense numbers of persons will be enabled to see the water procession, which, it is ex pected, will be infinitely more grand, as it will be inii• nicely more extensive than the procession on the bridge, The barges of all the Companies will be ranged neer the bridge, splendidly decorated. The river will, during the whole ceremony, present the most brilliant exhibition. Not a vessel or boat will be seen to move in the line of procession, with t h e except i on of those which are to form the processio n i tse lf. I n t h e b argee moored alone the line of procession, seats are to be fixed one above another for the accommodation of the public. Barriers are to be fixed at Fish-street-hill, at Little East cheap, Graceehureb-street, in Canuon-street, in Miles's lane, and in Upper Thau'es.atr ee t. The 7 i - frames Police ar e t o take their station on the river to prevent accidents. It has Pot yet been determined in what dress the Corpo ration are to receive the ir Majesties, but it is siapp r dtha the Lord Mayo r a nd Aldermen will appear in therr ro bes, an d an d the Members of the Court of Common Council in th e i r ' gowns.

THE REV. ROBERT TAYLOR. ATTACK OF THE REV. ROBERT TAYLOR ON MR. WALTER, THE KEEPER OF HORSEMONGER-LANE GAOL. Yesterday morning, soon after the sitting Magistrate (Mr. Chambers) had commenced the business of the day, at Union-hall Police-office, he received information that the Rev. Robert Taylor had, on the preceding day, at tempted to assassinate Mr. John Walter, the Governor of Horsemonger-lane gaol. Upon receiving the above infor mation the Magistrate immediately despatched a messenger for Mr. Walter, who attended at the office, and made the following deposition relative to the attempted attack upon him :—" On Wednesday morning, between ten and eleven o'clock, as I was going round the prison, accompanied by Benjamin Elmes, one of the turnkeys, I went into the room occupied by Robert Taylor, under sentence of impri sonment for blasphemy. I said, on entering the room, I suspect you have got some spirits here—is it so ?' He replied, ' You have no business to ask me that ques tion.' Upon which I said that I should satisfy myself whether he had or not. I then walked towards a bench in the room, which was rather hidden by a sofa bed stead, and, underneath a piece of rug, or cloth of some kind, I discovered the flat earthen bottle now produced, which contained a quantity of brandy. The moment I took up the bottle Taylor walked towards me and said ' You thief, that bottle and its contents are my pro perty, and you shall not have either.' I still retained pos session of the bottle, and he tried to take it away from me ; upon which I passed it into the hands of '2,lmes, the turnkey, and told that person to keep it. Taylor, on seeing the bottle handed to Elmes, got into a violent rage, and he ran to a table on which there was a knife, which he caught up and swore he would stab me. Upon seeing him in such a violent passion, with the weapon in his hand, I imme diately retreated towards the door, with my back towards Taylor, and got out of the room." Mr. Walter added that the door of the room is an iron grated one, and is hung on the middle, and swings upon a pivot; he got ant of the room at one side of the door, while Elmes withdrew on the other. Benjamin Elmes corroborated this statement. It appeared that the indulgences granted by the Visiting Magistrates to Mr. Taylor are quite unusual in such cases. In the course of the day Mr. Chambers proceeded to the gaol where Taylor is confined, and we understand that the latter admitted to the Magistrate that he had seised up a knife in the moment of excitement, but ❑ot with a mur derous intention, and was then ready to make apology to Mr. Walter for what bad happened. The case will be thoroughly investigated by the Visiting Magistrates in a few days. IRELAND. (From the Dublin Morning Post of Wednesday.) WEXFORD ASSIZES, JULY 19. TYE NEWTOWNBARRIC AFFAIR. Judge JormszoN took his seat on the Bench at the usual Lord STOPFORD—My Lord, we have found no bills against three of the prisoners, William Devitt, Thomas CV, and John Deacon, hut we are willing to entertain bills against William Gilfoyle and Mr. Graham for manslaughter. His Loansnir—Then the regular course for you would he to require bills of indictment for manslaughter to be now sent before you. The Foreman expressed his assent, when His Lordship proceeded—l told you yesterday that if a number of persons were to assemble together for the pre servation of the peace, or the protection of property, and that if some of that party so assembled for one or other of these objects, should commit any act of violence, not of an excuseable nature, and from which homicide en sued, the individual so acting, or any person aiding or abet ting him, would be alone guilty of the offence, which ever it might amount to—murder or manslaughter. The offence, as sent up to you in the bills, does not, in your opinion, gentlemen, amount to murder; and you think, in regard to two of the prisoners, that it cannot exceed manslaughter. In this case it is most essential that the facts should be all proved to you, so as the persons com mitting the offence would be alone guilty, and those not found to be aiding and abetting would be perfectly in nocent—you could not find them guilty—that is, I mean if their so assembling were for a legal purpose. But mind, gentlemen, the law is quite different, if they had assembled for an illegal purpose. Under all the circum stances of the case as it stands at present, the question will be then for you to try which of the persons charged in the bills to be sent up to you fired ; did the persons charged in the new bills that are to be sent up to you fire on the crowd, under circumstances that would amount to manslaughter ; and if so, I say that the persons who fired on the crowd, either jointly or in succession, would be equally guilty of the homicide. I thought the present observations necessary, lest I should be misapprehended in any thing I had said yesterday ; new bills for manslaughter against the individuals named should be sent up to them with as little delay as possible. Sir William Cox (Juror) —My Lord, I would wish to ask your Lordship one question. If a military body be called out, and if the Commander give the order to fire, whether those acting under his command are exempt from consequences ? His Lonnsme—My opinion is, that no subject of the King is bound to obey an illegal order, and if an officer give an illegal order, those who obey him are not, in my opinion, exempt. Juror—Then, my Lord, is the soldier to be the judge for himself in the case, whether lie is to obey the order or not? His LORDSHIP—I suppose so. Juror—Then, this being so, the circumstance will be re ceived below in mitigation. His LORDSHIP--1 have nothing to do with that. The Jury on this retired. A QUARTER. EAST FOUR. The bills against Captain Graham, for manslaughter, have been just ignored! and he was in four indictments. It is reported that the KING will be at Ports mouth in about three weeks, to inspect the fleet, which is to return for that purpose. His MAJESTY will after wards honour his Grace the Duke of RICHMOND with a visit during the Goodwood Races. It is expected the QUEEN will remain at the Pavilion during the KING'S visit at P o rtsmouth.—Brighton Gazette. THE FUNERAL OF MR. NORTHCOTE.—On Wednesday last the funeral took place of our venerable artist, JAMES NORTIMOTE, Esq., R.A., the last of any ce lebrity ninong the scholars of Sir JOSHUA REYNOLDS. Agreeably to the injunctions of his will, confirmed orally near the close of life, his remains were deposited in the vault under the New Church of St Marylebone, for the purpose of being near to those of his long departed friend Mr. COSWAY, and with as little pomp as practicable. The private letters by the Lisbon mail of this morning are dated on the 9th instant. The French squadron, cousisting of three sail of the line, two frigates, one corvette, and three brigs, had arrived off the bar of the Tagus, and a flag of truce bad been sent in by the Admiral, demanding immediate satisfaction of all the demands previously made by the French Government. The exact terms of this requisition had not transpired, but they may be inferred from a communication made by the French Admiral to the foreign consulates in Lis bon, acquainting them that be was ordered before that port to demand satisfaction in the name of his Govern meat, 4nd if it was not immediately acceded to, hostili ties would commence by the disembarkation of troops from his squadron. A pomber of transports and steam seamis accompanied the French expedition, which was supposed to parry near 3,000 troops. Affairs on shore, with regard to Dort 31muzi., were in a state of the la, most disorder and perplexity. The despot—in this cri4is, as it may be termed, of his fate—was almost without a Illinistry. Previous to the arrival of the French squadron, D. JOAO DE MATos, Mini bier of Justice, had been dismissed, and sent to Cas caes ; the Superintendent of Police, GY.IIM-kNO DA VEIGA, had also :been turned out of office; and the Duke DE CADOVAL, the Prime Minister, had tendered his resignation, which was apcepted. Consternation reigned throughout Lisbon, particularly among the Mi guelite party, though to the friends of constitutional go• yernment the crisis was likewise full of danger, as they were prepared to expect the utmost vengeance of the ty rant, should be be enabled by any means to make his peace with the French Admiral, and avert the punishment with which he was threatened. Meantime the Migoelites, as if roused to greater fury by the very danger that impended over them, had committed shocking excesses in the streets of Lisbon. A retired officer, ; brave soldier, and of known constitttional principles, was set upon in open day by six teen miscreants, among whom were three officera and a priest, and assassinated ; not, however, before, by snatching tk weapon from one of his assail Ants, he had succeeded in Levelling two of their number with the ground. Three other assassinations took place on the Bth (one of them AU a woman), by order of Alto vEr. himself, for no other reason hut because he considerecl, in passing along the street, that they had not manif es t e d proper mar k s o f re spect to his sacred person! A corntnimi ca tie n was se nt oil to the French Admiral on the morning of the 10th, but it was left wholly in douht, at the departure of the packet, whether or pot Alp ogr. had yielded to his demands. ..... rings, PRICKS OF THE STOCKS Bank Stock 3 per Cent.

A Cabinet Council was, held this day at one o'clock at the Foreign-Office, in D o wning -street, at which most of his MAJESTY'S Ministers at- ,ended. With the suavity peculiar to him, Sir Ro- BERT PEEL took Lord ALTHORP to book last night for paying attention to the suggestions of newspapers—as if they were at all times beneath the consideration of a Statesman. This is not the first side-wind attack that the Right Hon. Baronet has made on the Press. Ever since he has been out of office, and more particularly since he has lost ground in public opinion and descended to his fitting level ; that is to say, taken his station as the first of those second rate Statesmen whose plodding habits make up for their want of enlarged capacity ; the Right Honourable Ex-Secretary has been firing away his pop-guns at the Journals, in the full and perfect conviction apparently, that it is impossible for them to resist his can nonade. So Bolgolain, the Lilliputian Minis ter, thought, when he thundered his Phillipics in the great council of the nation against Gul liver. The Right Hon. Baronet was not always so rancorous towards the Press as he is at pre sent. We remember in those halcyon days, when he spread his sail, and made his voyage of Reform through the law, while the Press puffed his cock-boat along, he was all smile's and gratitude towards his powerful auxiliaries ; during the discussion of the Catholic Question, too, when the influential portion of the same Press cheered his gloom, upheld him in his difficulties, and brought him safe to land, though the wind and tide were both against him, not a word was the Right Hon. Baronet heard to whisper against Journalism, though party spirit in those days ran higher, if possible, than now. The Press was then all that a Press should be. It praised Sir ROBERT PEEL with almost as much zeal as he constantly praises himself ; could it then be otherwise than exemplary, and disinterested, and patriotic ? Its sins commenced with its deser tion of the Right Hon. Baronet. So long as it upheld him it was immaculate ; the instant it ceased its support, it became corrupt. Sir ROBERT'S attack on the Press can deceive no one: Its motives are self-evident. The news papers, together with the country, have found that though a great name he is a little autho rity ; that his views as a Statesman are narrow, purblind, and petty ; in the necessary discharge of their duty they have said as much to the world--/zinc illce lachrymcr ; hence the Right Hon. Ex-Secretery's repeated sneers at the conduct and influence of the Press. But he affects, forsooth, to despise this same Press, and above all to treat it with indifference ! In deed ? Why, then, is he always repeating his cuckoo. cry of complaint—why always losing his temper when he alludes to the enormities of Journalism ? Is not such conduct a proof rather of the wincing of the galled jade, than of indifference ? Lord ALTHORP proposed, in c onsequence of the slow progress that Reform makes through the House, that in future the Committee should commence their labours at five o'clock. Mr. WYNN, in those sweetly modulated tones, so characteristic of his illustrious family, opposed the motion, which, however, was ultimately carried. A few boroughs, in addition to those already despatched, were then quietly put to death, after which the House adjourned. We should not omit to mention that Mr. F. BARING entered into a lengthy explana tion of the conduct of himself and brother in the DEACLE affair, which seemed to satisfy the House. The country, we suspect, will be more difficult to please ; still it is but justice to state, that the Hon. Member explained away much that appeared offensive and tyrannical in the business. His justification, however, was not complete, though satisfactory as far as it went. The accounts from St. Petersburgh are to the 6th instant, and from Warsaw to the 11th, in clusive. The cholera morbus was making most rapid and most fatal progress in St. Petersburgh. The number of deaths on the 4th being 106, and of new cases 223, more than double the number on the 2d. This was very alarming for the ca pita! ; but at Riga the virulence of the disease had considerably abated. The news from Poland continues to be very satisfactory. The Poles are increasing their regular forces, not only in the vicinity of Warsaw, but in Lithuania, where the new levies are being organized with great spirit and alacrity. few days more will most likely bring us some accounts of an important nature, for the Poles were on the eve of taking decisive measures.— As a proof that the insurrection in Volhynia and Podolia prospers, two thousand well-armed Podolian cavalry have arrived at Zamosc to assist the Poles. This looks like business :-- ST. PETEASUURQH, JULY 4. MANIFESTO OF HIS MAJESTY THE EMPEROR.

" Given at Alexandria, near Peterhof, June 29, in year of our Lord 1831, and sixth of our reign. (Signed) " NICHOLAS." The Imperial Court has gone into mourning for three months for the Grand Duke Constantine. Up to the 2d of July there have arrived at Cronstadt 804 ships; sailed, 478. At Riga, up to the 30th June, arrived, 1,119 ships; sailed, 981. . - By order of the Emperor a Committee has been insti tuted to take measures for preventing the propagation of the cholera in this capital. The Committee consists of the Military Governor of St. Petersburg'', and the Aide de-Camps, General Count Czenwitscheff, Count Zakrewsk, and Prince Menzikoff. The Committee has published a long statement of the regulations which it has adopted. The number of the sick, unhappily, increases, as was to be foreseen ; but the zeal of the Government and the officers, and other private persons who have been ap pointed for the purpose, is unabated, to lessen if possible the number of victims and alleviate their sufferings. If but few of the sick have hitherto recovered, the sole cause is the peculiar nature and the obstinacy of this disorder. Many have fallen sick at once, and but few at a time recover. The disease has but just set in, and the cure re quires time. To this may be added the heat of the sum mer and the rapid changes of the temperature for some days past. By the gracious support of God, the inde fatigable exertions of his Imperial Majesty, to whom ac curate reports of the progress of the disorder, and the state of the capital, are made twice a day, and by the zeal of those who are appointed to execute the orders of the Ma gistrates, we confidently expect a speedy deliverance from this scourge. Full of confidence in Heaven, we will all of us, espe cially landlords, and masters of families, exert ourselves to the utmost, and co-operate with the beneficial measures of the Government. _ _ _ .

The State Gazette contains a report of General Thos. Luhienski, dated Warsaw, July 6, giving an account of an attack made by Generals Mahlherg, Turno, and Jarac zewski, on the Russians, in and about the town of Plonsk, in which the Poles were successful, and took 40 prisoners. The same Paper gives, under the date of the Bth, the following news :—There will probably be some fighting to-day on the Wieprz, as General Romarino has approached the corps of Rudiger. One hundred and twenty dragoons of Rudiger's corps, with their horses, and four officers, were taken on the sth by a detachment of Chrzanowski's corps, which crossed the Vistula under Lieutenant Giedrojc. The accounts from General Gielgud are to the 29th June. He was the❑ in Rossienna ; his main force was encamped between the rivers of Willa and Sivient 1, to protect the organization of the new regiments. With two regiments of cavalry he had reconnoitred the country nearly to the emi nences about Wilna, which the Russians had strongly for tified. General Szymanowski was at Szawle, from which he had driven the Russians. Colonel Valentina is said to have been drowned by accident in the The army, which is now being organized in Lithuania, has already 8,000 well armed and mounted cavalry. Our detachments scour the country in Podlachia to the other side of the Lieviez, and beyond Wengrow near Siedlec and Zelechow. The enemy has no fixed positions on that side, and appears only now and then in small numbers. Yes terday and to-day there has been some fighting to our ad vantage, between Ploczk and Sierock. JULY 9.—The Russians entered Plock again the day before yesterday. The Vistula is swelled considerably, and seems as if it would contribute to obstruct the passage of the Russians to the left bank. JULY 10.—The Commander-in-Chief set out yesterday to joi❑ the army. It is said that General Chrzanowski is to have the chief command of the corps in Podlachia and Lublin. There are now about 15,000 Russians troops in Plozk. The Grand Duke Michael and Count Paskewitech have their head-quarters in the colonies near Plozk. The Russians are beginning to collect timber for a bridge near Plozk. The Warsaw Gazette says the Russians are forming a camp near Krasnik, in the province of Lublin. The main force of Gen. Rudiger is said to be collected at the junction of the Wieprz and the Vistula, near Stenzyzn, his vanguard ex tending beyond Lublin, while his advanced posts occupy Stoczck, Seroczyn, and Kuzk, and extend to Laskavzew. A considerable division of Russian cavalry and infantry has arrived at Racionz, in the province of Plozk, whose vanguard of SOO cavalry entered Drobin on the 4th or sth : it is said they occupied Bielak, four leagues from Plozk." It is said that 2,000 well armed Podolian cavalry have arrived at Zamosc. This news requires confirmation. The Warsaw Courier says " the news tlfat General Mu rawieff has taken the command of the corps of General Kreutz, is confirmed." On the contrary, the account of the taking of Wilna proves to be unfounded. But the Samogitians are all under arms, and the insurrection ex tends as far as the Duna. The insurgents have some im portant positions near Pulangen. It is said, that Countess Plata has fallen into the hands of the enemy. The news of the arrival of 2,000 Podolian Cossacks at Zamosc is confirmed. The State Gazette officially announces that the extraordinary tribunal appointed to conduct the pro. ceedings in the affair of the conspiracy, has reported to the Governor of Warsaw, that the ,importance of the affair, which requires the most careful investigation, and the ne cessity of examining the numerous papers of the persons accused, make it impossible to go on with the proceedings in twenty-four hours, as required by Article 16, of the Ordinance of the 20th of February. The tribunal has consequently been authorised to proceed according to the principle of the ordinary military tribunals. KONIGSBURG, ONLY 15.—General Gielgud has suc ceeded in getting to Rossienna with his corps, but he is now surrounded and besieged by the Russian troops.

REVIEW IN HYDE PARK.—(THIS DAY.) This morning a review of the three battalions of the First Regiment of Grenadier Guards took place in Hyde Park. It had been announced that the review should take place at eleven o'clock, but owing to the difficulty of procuring troops to keep the ground, it was fixed for eight o'clock instead of eleven. At that hour the whole of the regiment was upon the ground, and formed themselves into quarter columns ; and, quite unexpectedly, before the men had formed the line, the Duke of Wellington arrived on the ground in his Field-Marshal's uniform. His Grace was attended by the Hon. Captain Fitzclarence, Colonel Hill, Captain Montague, and several other Gene ral Officers, but, singular as it may appear, none but Colonel Hill and Captain Montague appeared in uniform, the rest of the officers being attired in plain clothes. The regiment went through their various evolutions with ad. mirable precision, but no firing took place, and the whole was concluded by ten o'clock. Owing to the early hour at which it took place there were but few persons on the ground. CHANGE IN THE DRESS OF THE FOOT GUARDS. There will shortly be a general alteration in the dress now worn by the three regiments of Foot Guards, which is expected to take place in October next. Instead of red, the clothing is to be scarlet, and there is to be no lace upon the coats as at present. The devices of the respective re giments are to be embroidered on the points of the collar, and the head-dress is to be similar throughout the brigade. A bear-skin cap with the device of the regiment in front, viz.—The Scotch Fusileers or third regiment, are to display the Order of St. Andrew, with a crown at top, (by order of his Majesty), that regiment being nearly entirely composed of Scotchtnen. The Coldstream are to have the rose of England surmounted with a crown, and the Grenadier Guards are to have the King's arms, and a crown above them. Hibbert, of Pall-mall East, has the contract. The first division second battalion Grenadier Guards will, on Wednesday next, march to Bristol, from whence they will embark for Dublin to relieve the first battalion of the Scotch Fusileer Guards, who, on their return to town, will occupy the Portman-street barracks. The 3d Regiment will not change their quarters till the 3d of August, and not on the Ist, which is in consequence of the opening of the New London Bridge. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The accounts from Warsaw of the same date as last re ceived state, that on the sth a great number of new re cruits arrived there. General Chrapowski has a squadron of Tartars in his corps d'armee. In a postscript to the Generalissimo he states, " I learn that the enemy conducted himself in the most cruel manner towards the Lithuanians after the insurrection at Asymina. A regiment of Cara biners entered that town and dispersed the insurgents, whose wives and children, with the old people, took re fuge in a church, thinking themselves sate, but the Cara liners massacred every person, amongst whom were 300 women." General Chrzanowski announces to the National Government that he has re-crossed the Vistula at Colomb, and that he had repeated encounters with the Russians, who were greatly superior in force. The French papers state that the report of war still continues in the Rhenish provinces, and the preparations making there seem to confirm it. Already the banks of the Rhine are crowded with Austrian troops. A train of 50 pieces of cannon has passed the Vadren to proceed to Sarrelouis. The 4th corps of the Prussians has passed the Rhine at Mayence ; also 244 pieces of artillery. THE FUNDS. Consols, which rose yesterday afternoon to 82/1 3 - for the account, opened this morning at the same price ; at present they are 82t, with little doing. According to the express from Paris, it appears that the French expedition in Africa has been defeated, with the loss of 1200 men. The French Funds also come lower. We have no arrivals as yet of consequence. Consols are now 821 HALF-PAST ONE. r i U v a p t e t o e t t h t e e r p s r f e r s e e mnnt St.li u p r e t w e r e sb ü b r a g v h e s t a n t o pol itth at ical ne s. cholera morbus is extending in that capital, and a great nu m b er of new cases have made their appearance. The private letters by the Dutch mail say that it was generally believed that the King would not give his consent to the eighteen articles, but ethers suppose they will be modified, when the King will sanction them. Consols have been fluctuating during the morning from 828 to 828 for the Account. At present they are 821 with very little doing.

OF WIGHT.—A meeting was held on Saturday, in Newport, to prepare a requisition, calling on Sir RICIIARD SIMFON, Bart., to offer himself for the island, under the Reform Bill. Mr. EAMES, of Cowes, took the chair. It was unanimously determined to sup port that gentleman on the principle of Reform, of which he has been on the late county election a steady supporter LAW INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.) COURT OF CHANCERY. • WELLESLEY V. BEAUFORT. Sir E. SUGDEN stated that he had received notice, dist a motion for the discharge of Mr. Wellesley would be made to-day, which he was ready to oppose. Considerable delay took place in consequence of the. Solicitor-General not having arrived. As soon as the Learned Counsel entered the Court, he stated that he had not received any instructions. Mr. Rowley (Mr. Wellesley's solicitor) stated that it was utterly impossible for him to have been prepared by this morning, as, besides having been exceedingly engaged elsewhere on this business, he had not been able to see one of the most important witnesses, who was to make all affidavit, till one o'clock this morning. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL stated that he had felt a dif ficulty in accepting a brief in this case. The LORD CHANCELLOR told him he ought to have no hesitation in accepting of a brief on the ground that he might have to contend for a different view of the question, being to be taken elsewhere. He instanced as a proof, that he himself,while an active Member of the House of Commons, had to contend against the Speaker of that House (in the House of Lords) in the case of Burdett v. Coleman, and Burdett v. Abbott. Also that Lord Erskine's most cele brated argument in the Court of King's Bench was in the case of the King v. Stockdale, in which he stopped the progress of the case in the very face of the Ministers, who were present to support the trial. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL then said, with this sanction, he should have no further scruples, but accept of a brief. , The case was then ordered to stand for Monday morning. Lordship observed, however, that though the motion was delayed, Mr. Wellesley was not to consider that his exemption from going to the Fleet was to be continued beyond this morning. The delaying of the motion was entirely unconnected with Mr. W.'s longer remaining ont of the Fleet. [Mr. W. has hitherto been allowed to reside at his own house, accompanied by the Sergeant-at-Arms.] VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT. PRACTICE IN MAKING MOTIONS-ABSENCE OF JUNIOR COUNSEL. Mr. KNIGHT, at the sitting of the Court this morning, stated that in consequence of the unavoidable absence of Mr. Pepys, who was engaged in the Lord Chancellor's Court on Mr. Wellesley's case, he thought it would be better not to proceed with the motion in Oxenden V. Dufour, which was part heard yesterday, and, with the per- , mission of the Court, he would make some other motions. This the Learned Counsel was proceeding to do, but in , every case he mentioned no junior Counsel were in at tendance. The VICE-CHANCELLOR deprecated this neglect in strong terms, observing that advantage had been taken of the order which had been made for the general conve nience of the Bar and suitors, that Counsel should only be called on to make two motions. Gentlemen now coming into Court making two motions of course, and leaving, not caring what became of those in which they were concerned as juniors, by that means the business of the Court was com pletely paralyzed, and his Honour, therefore, could not allow such a state of things to exist. Shortly afterwards the VICE-CHANCELLOR observed that he had been informed that no such order existed as that to which he had referred, and he begged to inform the Bar it was not his intention to adopt such a rule in future. Mr. KNIGHT considered such a rule productive of great inconvenience, as had been clearly shown:to the Court ti it morning. Mr. WAKEFIELD observed that the Lord Chancellor had proposed to make such an order, but declined doing so on being informed that it would interfere m►teriallj with the rights of the gentlemen within the bar; he should however, act upon that principle in his own Court, be• lieving it would be attended with great convenience, though he would make no order upon the subject. The VICE-CHANCELLOR did not think the adoption of such a rule would b.: attended with benefit in his °via Court, and he should, therefore, not adopt such a practice. ELECTION COMMITTEES.-(THIS DAY.) ROXBURGH ELECTION. The Committee appointed last night to inquire into the merits of the petition of Sir William Francis Elliott: Bart., against the re urn of Henry Francis Scett, sat this morning, Lord Viscount MANDEVILLE in the chair. Mr. HAaalsoti appeared as Counsel for th e pe titioner. This case, he said, was not one of ordi nary occurrence, but as far as the doctrine of la vf was concerned there could not be any dispute ; it had been solemnly decided as an uncontrovertible point of Par liamentary law, that the eldest son of a Scotch Peer was ineligible to sit in the House of Commons for a Scotch ciunty, and also that he was not qualified to ar pear on the roll of freeholders. That doctrine could not be disputed ; the only question would be whe ther this case came within that decision, and it would be for him to contend that it did. A huly named Anstruther, had in 1808, made a claim to the dormant Barony of Polwarth ; her claim was referred by his Ma jesty to the House of Lords, and it had very considerably progressed towards a conclusion in her favour, when she died. The a pplication had been since renewed by Jr.s Scott, the father of the sitting Member, whose return was now objected to ; Mr. Scott's claim had been referred to the House of Lords, and had pro' ceeded so far, as he (Mr. Harrison) understood, that all , that remained to establish the c l a i m was mere mat t er al form ; Mr. Scott had, however, delayed to have that form proceeded in, and he had also declined a proposal to have the consideration of this p e titi on a dj ourne d unt il t h e d ee i' s o t tt wihfooenun Lords.l u da p s cb)ane matter d h ale e tfc ti claim teahrreeo d f adjournmenta c for o pu t re h se e er b arony ioiifs swoenr ewl Scotland accededaos would in H o use l d v be given e v e ry to, rtiAir.he ineligible y to sit in the Hou , e of Co mmons ; b ut i t was hoped, Ter i probably, by th e f at h er an d son colluding together (Ale• Harrison observ e d, h e did not mean any offence to eithe r party) or, by agree i ng t h at the ultimate decision in t h e riol House of Lords sho u ld b e d e l aye d , t h at the rule o ' , law would not be applicable to this case, for i t would be contended that as the father was not declared $ Peer, the son was qualified to sit in the House of Cote' mons. The Learned Counsel, however, said, he would contend that the situation in which the father was placed in regard to the proceedings in the House of Lord , ' and the refusal to adjourn the case until the decision, of the Lo r d s , a ff or d e d i n f erences strong l y i n f avour 01 this petition; besides which, the Learned Counsel contended on the authority of various decisions, that the son of a person claiming a Scotch Peerage was ineligibl e to sit in the House. He would propose to put in th e minutes of evidence taken before the Home of Lords, i 4 the case of Lady Anstruther's claim, as a part of the case of this petitioner, and after proving the claim of the elde r Mr. Scott, the Learned Counsel hoped for a decision i ll favour of the petitioner. Mr. HaftelsoN then proceeded to call his witnesses. GREAT GRIMSBY ELECTION. The Committee were occupied the whole forenoon la examining into disputed votes. GLASGOW ELECTION.
