Roman Legatloni: l:ut the Papal Court has refused i t , interference. (From a Private C-raspondent of the Morning Herald.) PARIS, MARCH 28. The French official journals, up to this day, spoke with eonfiden , e of the amicable terminttion of the Ancon affair, while it now turns out that every day large convoys of heavy military stores, an I particularly gun- arriages, leave Vincennes for Toulon, to he employed (how you will ask) in the meditated attack on Bona and Constantine. On other points we have simil ir contradictory repOrta. tt7hil; tea. rest of the rei-iSian Press state , ) and l';!lie1 upon, tile arrival of a British squadron in Ancona, the National of Thursday flatly contradicts every word that has bein Paid on the subject. Thus far I trouble you with contra dictory intelligence ; but no doubt rests upon the account which you will have ere this received of the arrival of rein forcements to the French corps that has so strangely occu pied Ancona—a fact that tends to increase the mystery which still bangs upon that important step of the French Government. It would not he saving too much, nor, indeed, any thing like enough, that a good understanding does not subsist between the French and Austrian Cabi nets; it is even said that the Austrian messenger, who left Paris on Monday night, for Vienna, was the bea , er of despatches from Count d'Appony, the contents of which may be productive of very serious results. The game of Europ e i* not, however, to be played hetwern M. Prier and Prince Metternich ; it will be decided in the B it's!' House of Lords on the question of the Reform Bill. To th!s latter question ail speculators should, therefore, direct ali their attention, fur on its decision depend the fate of Europ e ; all else is leather and prunella. The Government Sourn .1s announce the receipt, by telegraph, of the p l easing intelligence that tranquillity continued to reign in Grenoble. On the other hand our communication s by the regular channels state the occur rence of several (blebs there, between inhabitants of the town and soldiers and officers of the 35th regiment of the line —that regiment which charged the pe , iple during the late disturb meta, and which, having left the city by com mand of Gen. Saint Blau, ha!, as you know, in order to show. the strength of G ivernm,nt, heen ordered to re-en ter. These duels are to he lamented, taking place, as they have done, between soldiers and citizms, but that which is truly alarming is, that similar combats, growing out Of the same cause, have occurred between ind victual soldiers of the regiment of artillery in Grenoble, and those of the same 35th regiment of the line; and so far bad thi s spirit been carried, that a company of can noneer* of the artillery regiment above mentioned chat lenge'', en Masse, the grenadier company of the 35th re giment, W hi c h c h a ll enge v , as accepted, and the parties were to Im-et on Saturoay last, but the General in com mand at Grenoble took the necessary precautions and pre vented th e combat. These facts speak for themselves. Tie 35th regiment must again be withdrawn from G, e noble, or more blood will be spilt, either alternative offers ample ground for grave r,flecti TheGosernment Pspers of this (lay deny the existence of the cholera in P,,ris. They are in error. It is not only here, but has already carried ot victims. Ten unquestion. Ode eases have occurred—four of those attacked are dead.

Several deaths took place within these f-tv days from a poplexy; even among the troops that species of attack had been alarnaincly fr , quent, but, strange to say, the sub °fficers suffered much more in propot tion than the common soldiers. One death, from something rest-mblinir, cholera. occurri d in the military hospital of Gros Caillon yesterday. This mel.ncholy visitation, though long deemed inevi table, will produce un'ortunate results. All who can fly from Paris will quit it, and thus will the misery of the poor "naectuently be enhanced. I have little doubt that, as elsewhere, the Funds will fall to-day; but the French are nearly strangers to personal fear—the presence of the dis ar,l ,ta'e will not , consequently, long influence them or their They are , moreover, a temperate people, and u vescape li g h t l y.

We select from the Nouvelliste the follawiiig important announcement : "A courier from Vienna arrived this ilay to the Aus trian Ambassador, Count d'Appimy, bringing to him the Austrian Ratification of the Treaty of the 15th of No vember, with orders to have it exchanged in London as soon as the Prussian Plenipotentiary shall have received from his Court a similar authorisation. " We have every reason for believing Mat the Rati fication of A us t r i a will have been preceded in London by that of Prussia."—Nouvelliste. The Nouvelliste (the official Evening Journal) contains also the following article : ° Several Morning Journals of this day, led into error by the Message r of last night, announce that the Cabinet of the Hagu e was occupied by preparing a message by wh ich Ring William int e nd e d t o ma k e k nown to the States General that he was determined not to concur in the conditions which the (London) Conference wished to im pose on hi m, and calling upon them (the States-General) to persevere in th e course in which Holland found herself "gaged."

It is said that more troops are coming; at pre sent the Finch force in this city is rather more than 3,000 men.

Tbomaa, at the Office, 19, Ca. therine-street, Strand. ontutt, LONDON, FRIDAY EVEN LNG. MARCH 30, 1832. The Paris Journals of Wednesday leave no doubt that the cholera has broken out in that city. 'We refer to the substance of our corre spondent's communication under the head of Foreign News. An idea prevailed among some of the inflamed parties in Paris, that Ministers, notwithstanding appearances, secretly wished to spread the alarm of the disease, in order to ab stract the active minds of the Parisians from the affairs of Government. The faculty of generalization, the highest of the human faculties, seems to be very little cul tivated by our practical men of business. al though its application to current affairs would often prevent many evils and effect great good. Our Clergy, Judges, Membersof Parliament, and Country Gentlemen of the humaner class, are re peatedly bewailing the miserie3 of the poor, and they acknowledge that it is not a severity of laws, but employment with its reward of food and raiment that can check the general and truly alarming increase of crime. This is per fectly true, but where are the wages, food, and raiment to come from ? Men do not, as of old, horde money in iron chests, or secret places. The miser's savings go to purchase stock or to the hands of his banker, and they circulate as rapidly as the squanderingsofa spendthrift. There are no accumulations of food in granaries, nor magazines, as in days of yore, nor is there any ex portation of grain, or of human sustenance of any sort. All that the land can be made to produce by the present state of agricultural science is produced, and all that it yields is annually con sumed. To relieve distress, either the total quantity of food must be increased, or the num ber of consumers diminished. When, therefore, a Judge tells a Grand Jury that the titled and wealthy Aristocracy of the country ought to bye more upon their estates, in order to employ the poor, and afford them wages and food, he utters absolute nonsense, for he recommends no relief of the poor, but only a shifting of existing wretchedness from one class to another. if a land owner spends ten thousand a year in the country, instead of in London, he gives ten thousand pounds worth of employment to the poor of the country, by withdrawing it from the poor of London. It is a mere shifting of the locality of distress, and no relief whatever. The only dif ference to the rural population is, that they are employed directly by their landlord, instead of being employed indirectly by the London de mand or market. These are truths so simple and obvious, that the speeches of our Judges, Legislators, anti Country Gentlemen, cannot pos sibly emanate from ignorance. They are mere artifices to blind the people with respect to the Corn Laws. Whatever may be done or said, to this conclusion we must come at last—that to relieve the frightful misery which pervades the country, consumers must be diminished or food increased. The existing ratio must be altered. Government is altering the ratio, by encouraging the poor to leave the land of their forefathers, and to seek food in the bleak wilds of North America. In the mean time, food in superabundance is at our own door, and man has but to stretch forth his hand to receive it to overflowing. Goeernmet►t may regulate the admission of corn in any quantity ; but they prefer the transportation of our peasantry across the Atlantic. The return of Pensions and Retired Allowances in the Colonies, laid before Parliament last month, exhibi:s a mass of anomalies and incon sistencies, reconcileable only on the principle of jobbing. One person retires upon half of his salary and emoluments, after a service of only seven years ; another upon four-fifths after eight years ; another upon three-fourths after only three years ; whilst in cases, we suppose, where the public servant is friendless or unconnected, we find that one person, after 27 years of service in the worst of climates, retires upon about one third of a very small income. In a most in hospitable climate, we find a public servant re tiring on only 180/. a-year after 40 years' ser vice, and immediately after comes an allowance of 300/. a-year after six years of service. Th e pay and emoluments of these people, in an im mense number of instances, are concealed, and although there is a column for the ages of the parties, in no instance is there an age stated. The causes of retiring set down in the document are very curious. Against men who have served respectively for seven, eight, nine, and eleven years, we find marked " length of service," and the same words are placed against those who have served 36 or 40 years. In practices and in documents like these, our late rulers have solved a very useful problem—the length to which fraud and insolence may be carried with impunity by a Tory Government over a free people. We find that Lady LIVINGTON has a pension of 300/, a-year for the services of her husband ; Sir R. PLASKETT enjoys 5001. a-year, a small fraction of his full salary of 3,000/. possessed for eleven years. Mrs. T. SHERRIDAN has 3001. a year on the altera tion of the Establishment of Ceylon ; TWISLETON, widow of an Archdeacon, 3001. a year—four widows of four " Civil Ser vants," 1,200/.3 year. Sir ALEX. JOHNSTONE 1,600/. a year, Sir R. BROWNRIGG 1,000/. a year, and Sir C. W. RAGERPEAKE (Cinna mon I.Yepartment) 1351. a year—whilst Gover nor Sir R. BROWNRIGG gets 1 000/. a year after ten years' service, the Cinnamon Knight, Sir BAGERPEAKE gets only 135/. a year after 27 years of service. Living in clover may be a very fine thing, but living in cinnamon is poor fare. At the Cape we do not find Lord CHAS. SOMERSET, but the spies CASTLES, &c. whom Lord SIDMOUTH sent to that Colony, changed their names so often that whether they are among the pensioners we cannot say. Sir W. K. BALL has a pension of 600/. a year, after twelve years' service, a Sir It. C. XERRE, 300/. after six years, and Sir J. B. OLIVIER 2041. a year for the same period of service. A Protestant Minister among the Catholic population of Trinidaclfor six years retires on 400/. a year. At St. John's, Newfoundland, an officer retires on 5701. 1 ls. a year, being one-half of his emoluments, on five years' service. We cannot altogether go the length with Mr. HUME, in refusing all pensions, because Government servants are paid- beyond the average of the market price of their services,. but to give employes large pensions, on the ground that they have served three, four, five, or six years, is to carry the fraudulent system of Tory government beyond what has ever been imagined.

In a Second Edition of two of the Morning Journals, with an express from Paris, it is stated that the ratifica tion of Austria has been received, wiih orders to have it exchanged in London, as soon as ihe Prussian Ambass,idor should have received from his Court a similar authorisa tion, which, we understand, his been in London for some days. In regard to time ratification on the part of Russit, we cannot as yet state as certain when it will take place. However lingering the King of Holland may be to sign the treaty, with its modifications, he will soon find him. self under the necessity of complying ; we will even sup pose, should he still resist after the Five Powers have signed the treaty, and they do not use force to compel'him, his large standing army and the debt will tire out his good people. Our Funds this morniaz opened at 831 for the Ac count ; hut the Second Editions, with the French news, caused the market to improve to SSii for the Account; for Money, 831, ut which price they are at present, with little doing . - In the Foreign Marker, there is also an improvement in Dutch Stock, 42i to t, owing to their coming higher from Holland, at HALF-PAST 0 NE.- It is the general opinion of the well-inlormed, that Count ()doff trill join in the signature of the treaty, but nothing positive is known as yet.

HIGHLAND SCENE!? Y We have just seen the two first numbers of new series of Illustrations of the Highland and Island Scenery of Scotland. They have been lithographed by an artist named Leith, from drawings in outline by Colonel Murray, and are accomoanied by descriptive letter-press. The illustrations are full of spirit, and convey a lively idea of the extraordinary wildness and grandeur of the scenery stretching along the northern coast of Scotland. The Yiews in Argyllshire are re markably spirited, and, as the letter-press expla nations assure us, equally remarkable for the fidelity of their resemblances. LITERATURE. WORKS OF LORD BYRON—VoL. IV. LONDON, 1832. The fourth number of this meritorious work has just appeared, and comprises two embellish ments, engraved in their usual style of excel lence, and strict attention to details, by the Findens. The "Coliseum, from the Orto Far nese," is decidedly the best of these two ; exhi biting evident proofs of skill, industry and un wearied perseverance. The exterior appearance of the volume is as attractive as ever. THE CABINET LA WYER ; A POPULAR DIGEST Or THE LAWS OF ENGLAND. 36;4 16 1 . i 1 , 14 7.4 22Li 13!4 WESTMINSTER SESSIONS-(THIS DAY, THE GOVERNORS OF ST. GEORGE'S HOSPITAL, APPEL LANTS, AGAINST A CONVICTION UNDER THE BUILDING ACT. This case lasted all the forenoon. It was an flpp , 3 ' against a conviction by the Magistrates of M orP.orough street Office, at the instance of Mr. Foxhall, district sur veyor of the parishes of St. George's, Hanover-square, for erecting a proj-ction beyond the general line of houses. Mr. ALLEY and Mr. 13 ,, DK1N appeared in support of the conviction, and Mr. CLARKSON for the appellants. An immense number of witnesses were rxamined on each side. From the evidence for the appellant it ap• Neared, that when it was in contemplation to pull down the of t hospital of St. George's, at Hyd , Park-corner, a plan was formed for building a new one which took in two houses and gardens in Hyde P irk-place b.- inging to the hospital. At that time •the line of houses was very irregular, and in order not to bring the building out too ar, the line was taken as from a certai, numb,' of the homes then stand•ng. Latterly the Gov.-rnors com • menced building the last portion of the hospiteil, which would adjoin the house of Colonel Campbell, anti beyond which it would abut 14 feet, although it would still t-e within the freehold ground of the hospital. It was swot n also that ti is was no projection beyond the line of houses as they were existing when the plans (or the hospital wet , - drawn out, but that in consequence of the Owners of Flom of the hou•es having pulled them down and rebuilt them further back, they had themselves destroyed the line. The witnesses for the respondent swore that the proj,,e tion was an encroachment beyond the line of houses at the present time. Mans- of the witne- sea on both sides, when press e d as to wha t portion of the line of houses, declared that from the uneven wanner in which they were built, they could scarcely define hat th, Act of Parliament m--ant by a " general line." Mr CLARKSON submitted twoqu , stions for the opinion ro the Court. The Act ot Parliament stated that no b iw wii.dow, or ether projection, should he built with or aided to any building next to any public street, square. curt, or way, so as to extend hey,nd the eeneral line of tie fronts of the houses in such public street, square curt, or way." Now two questions must he decided, first. whether the projection was next any public street, square, court or way, which he surd:noted it was not, inasmuch a• there was still a considerahle space in front of the projec thin that b,lon7ed to the Ho-piral ; and secondly (it ihe Court w re of opioion his first objection was eroundiess), whether the projection was bey-nd the general lire of houses. He contended, as regarded the lat er tion—tirst, that as the ground was t e freehold property of the ho-pital. they had a right to build upon it, and second, that according to the evidence of his wi , nesses, the building did not project b. yond the line or houses as they were when the plans for erecting the hospi tal were made, but that the owners of the hoes-s bad themselv es altered the line by throw , ng th- houses hack. He liegg..of to rewind the Court that this case was a vet - ) important one, for, if the Gout derided against him, it would seriously ,ff,ct one of the most valuab.e institutions this country had to ! , oast of. Mr. ALLEY submitted that the conviction must stand. The hospital, as had b• en already built, had projected coasiderably farther than it ought to have been, but of what had been done the respondents mode no complaint; they now only wished thar the building should not encroach so closely to private houses as to prevent the Irce circula tion of light and air, which was so Unportant to the heal h of the inhabitants of the metrop his, and which, indeed, it was the avowed object of the Boil ling Act to see should not be obstructed. The ques tion was said to lie a very serious one to the hospital, hut it was also most important to the pr.prietors of the ad jacent houses, whose property amounting to 40,0001. would be very seriously depreciated if the pro jection were allowed to he wholly carried into ef fect—for it had not yet been effected, only a portion of a wall having been raised with a view of trying the right of the Governors of the hospital. The CHAIRMAN (F. CONS; Esq.) stated, that from the want of precise evidence as to the general lines, and the confusion in his mind arising from the difference in the plan of the buildings en' mitred to the Court by each party, he was unable to form such a judgment as he should like to have been able to form. The opinions of the Court were tak.n seriatim, when it was determined by the votes of four Magistrates to two to affirm the conviction. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.)

It is almost superfluous to give this work the praises due to its useful application to the daily business of life, for the fact of its having reached a seventh edition, is a sufficient testimony that the public appreciates its merits. The title of the book is hardly well chosen ; for, although it contains an able summary of our system of law, the principal utility of the work is the guidance it affords to every occupation of life, even in cases in which the law i , not supposed to enter• The work affords a useful study to men of edu cation, and to what are termed men of fashion and of general information, whilst it is an ex cellent example of that beneficial class of books addressed to the people, and of which it has been complained that our country has as yet pro duced but few specimens. NARRATIVE OF THE SHIP-WRECK OF THE JUNO.-EDINBuBGH 1831. This is a republication of a work written in the year 1795, by a young man named William Mackay, second officer of the Juno, and who was one of the few who survived on the wreck for twenty-three days without food. The narra tive which is addressed to his father, the Rev. T. Mackay, Minister of Lairg, Sutherlandshire, is remarkable for the truth and vigour of its de scriptive powers, but still more so, from having been the original from which Lord Byron drew his famous episode of the ship-meek, in the second canto of " Don Juan." Moore, in his Memoirs of the illustrious poet, has said, and said rightly, that this " is one of the instances in which poetry must be content to yield the palm to prose ;" in other words, that the original is su perior to the imitation. By his republication of the former, Mr. Blackwood has afforded the public an opportunity of comparing the two versions. The EXTRAORDINARY BLACK BOOK, or EXPOSITION of CHURCH and STATE. 1 Vol. BVO. EFFINGHAM WILSON.. The Black Book has done the state some service, for it has afforded the public much in formation which they have already applied very beneficially, and from which further good matt. fairly be anticipated. We have therefore much satisfaction in noticing the second edition, particularly as the work has now received many emendations, and the errors which were pointed out in the first publication are corrected in the present. The lists of places, pensi.,ns, and pluralists have been carefully collected from Parliamentary documents, many sa jects have been enlarged, and a valuable chapter has been added upon the numbers. wealth and intellectual improvements of the Dissenters. 'We find in this edition a chapte' upon the origin and present state of Corporations. Companies, Guilds, and Fraternities; and in th, appendix we are happy to find many new table, and much additional matter of importance. Thi Black Book justly styles itself the Encyclopedi. of English Poli.ics, but it might to this titlt have added the words History and Statistics. MEMOIRS OF GREAT COMMANDERS BY G. P. R. JAMES, ESQ.-3 VOLS. 12mo. The subject of this work and the experienced talents of its author, are sufficient guarantees tG the public that it must contain much of what i• useful and entertaining. General praise is therefore superseded, and the duties of criticism must be confined to details. The selection of matter by Mr. James, is in several respects judicious, for he includes in his work the lives of Foreign Commanders, with whom English Readers in general are but little ac quainted. We wish that this feature had more extensively pervaded the work. There are 1 lives in the three volumes, and they commence with Henry V. and end with General Wolfe. The author's plan, of necessity, excludes the firs Earl of Leicester, and our great warriors Edward I. and 111., but we should not have regretted the insertion of a life of the Duke of Norfolk. the Duke of Somerset, of Lord Clive, and a fev, other great men, whose names must occur to every reader acquainted with English History . The following extract from the life of the Mar. quis of Granby must remind the reader of that undaunted firmness of Thiish troops to which our success in Spain was attributed, and which indeed seems inseparable from our national cha racter The event of the war now depended upon the skill and firmness of the British Ge neral and the courage and resolution of his small body of troops. The fire of artil lery and musketry was tremendous ; the attacking force overwhelming, and the charge of the French conducted with all that impetuous confidence in their own success, which has so often won them victory. At the same time no succour could be afforded to the British force. General Wutgenau, destined to support them mild not reach the bpnt for nearly throe hours, cid during the whole of that time Lord (iranhy resisted, without yielding a step, a force of more than ten times the number of his own troops."

One of the French Ministerial journals tells his countrymen that we encourage the growth of hemp at home, and receive great quantities from Bengal; while the fact is, that we receive from Bengal scarcely 1,000 tons a-year, that we grew almost none at home, and that we impose a heavy, if not nearly a prohibitive, duty on what comes frun Russia. We thus tax a raw material from 15 to 25 per cent. on its original cost,—we render it impossible for the English rope-maker to enter into competition with the Russian, who uses untaxed materials,—we drive our own rope-makers to St. Petersburgh to make the manufactured article for our own colonies, beyond the reach of English fiscal laws—and we compel our own ship. owners, if they wish to save the duty, to procure their outfit in foreign ports. Instead of a supply of probably 00,000 or 40,000 tons of hemp, we only now import about 17,000 or 18,000 tons, and by continuing the duty, even this limited quantity must soon diminish ; yet the whole benefit to the revenue does not amount to more than about 60,0004 a year. Frenchmen, before they bestow their eulogies on our system of commerce and our fiscal regulations, should know what they are.—Times. We are requested to state that the celebrated author of " Granby," (Mr. Lister) will, in the course of next month, produce a new novel, to be entitled " Arlington." Orders should therefore be immediately given to the various booksellers in town and country to prevent disappointment in the first delivery. The order, on the petition of Mr. Gurney, complaining of the return for the borough of Tregony, has been discharged, tne required recognizances on the part of the petitioners not having been complied with. 120, d Edward Chichester has been appoin'ed to the Deanery of Raphoe, vacant by the death of the late Dean Allott.—Dublin Evening Mail.

This speaks much for the capacity of our Magistrates and the utility of a police force, which for this county alone, during the last year, has cost upwards of 9,000/. Landlords of the county look to it. We shrewdly suspect that there are others beside Whitefeet engaged in the work of disturbance.

The fol lowing account is taken from a Natural History of Fishes, by S. J. 1795:—" This animal has a smooth slippery body with. out scales. It somewhat resembles an eel, but is of a brownish grey, and the sides are adorned with blackish transverse shades. The head is large, and fiat aboidithe eyes, and the checks ap. pear swelled and puffed out. It is a most voracious fish, and when taken will fasten on any thing within its reach. The fishermen, dreading its bite, endeavour to disarm it as soon as possible; they immediately pull out its fore teeth, and then kill it by striking behind the head. The Danish and German writers say, that its bite is so hard that it will seize on an an chor, and leave the mark of its teeth in it ; and that the animal is capable of crushing even stones with its jaws. It feeds prin cipally on crustaceous animals and shell fish ; and is common in the sea near Yorkshire and Northumberiand." — R e r ,frk Paper. The Author Poenl entitled '~ of 1 1-I.nh-nie S e.
