Soon after his arrival there the Barra war broke out, and he MIS detained there several rronths, and during that time suffered very severely from repeated attacks of fever, which ob l'ged him at last to invalid home. The Parmelia left at Sierra Leone his Majesty's ship his alone. The Drvad had sailed for England, but was to run down the coast on her passage. At `Spithead—Britannia, Talavera, Donegal and Meteor.

Paaaingham, is ordered to be paid off, and her com mander will commission the Siteldrake, 4, in lieu. The Trinculo, 18, was commissioned at Plymouth on Wednesday, by Commander J. R. Booth, who was First Lieutenant of that ship, when she was paid off -at that port about six years ago. ROYAL.

Curry, is removed from the Woolwich to the Plymouth division, vice M'Killar. The foregoing, however formidable a list in ap pearance, is merely a promotion of four from each rank, and although, as far as it goes, it must of course be considered as a boon, we look upon it in much the same light as we should the sum of 5/. when paid in liquidation of a bill for 20/. long since over - dine. We have placed, against the name of each Officer promoted, the number of years he has been in the corps, and by which it oill he seen that the newly appointed Second Commandants average forty-two years. The newly promoted Lieutenant- Colonels, thirty-seven years; the Miijors, thirty; the Captains, twenty-seven, and the First L'eute trams, nineteen ; and we cannot but think that all those in the Corps who still remain First I.:cute r:ants of twenty-seven years' service, or Second Lieutenants of nineteen years' service, might reason ably look forward to a speedy promotion; and we are confident the country would not complain of the small additional expense, which would be incurred by so just and well-earned a promotion. His M a jesty's surveying vessel Investigator, 2, George Thomas, Master and Surveyor, was paid advanced wages at Sheerness, on the 11th instant, preparatory to sailing on a survey, and sailed ac cordingly on Sunday last. Ilis Majesty's brigantine Viper, 6, Lieutenant 11. James, sailed from Sheerness on the 13th instant on a cruise, whence she arrived on the following day, and sailed again on Monday last. His Majesty's cutter Swan, 10, Lieutenant J. E. Lane, arrived at Sheerness on the 14th instant, from tiro thand. The Clyde, male convict ship, arrived at Sheer ness on Thursday last, to embark convicts for New South Wales. Orders have been received for the sea-wall at Sheerness to be proceeded in as heretofore. A great number of wind-bound vessels proceeded to their respective destinations from Sheerness on the 13th instant, the wind having come round to the S.W. The Salamander steamer, now in progress of building in Sheerness-yard, will be launched in the course of next month. It is intended that she should carry one 84-pounder, two 68-pounders, and two 32-pounder,. His Majesty's ship Ocean, SO, flig-ship at Sheer ness, Capt. Samuel Chambers, has received on board, to make up her complement, one Captain of Royal Marines (Meech) and nine privates. A survey of warrant-otlicers for superannuation took place at Chatham on Wednesday. His Majesty is expected to honour Sheerness Dock-yard - wit - 1i a visit about the first week in June. The Castor, of thirty-six guns, now in progress of budding at Chatham, is unexpectedly ordered to be launched on the 3d of next month, and to be brought forward for sea with all practicable despatch, in order to try her sailing qualities in an experimental squa dron, which we understand will rendezvous at Spit head in about two months from the present time. The Castor is a remarkably fine frigate, but she is too small to be fairly matched against the Vernon. We have reason to believe that the experimental squadron will consist of the following heterogeneous materials :—Three first -rates, viz , Britannia, Hi bernia, and Caledonia, each 120 guns; Barham, razeed 74 ; Vernon, 50, constructed by Captain Symonds ; Ca -tor, 36, constructed by Sir R. Sep pings; several frigates of the common stock, and a enusquito fleet of sloops, brigs, and nondescripts. We have often thought with " Tom Bowline," that from the manner in which the late experimental squadrons have been constituted and managed, their results have been by no means equal to the expense attending their equipment, &c., and we therefore hope thi:t the approaching trials may he so arranged and conducted, as to lead to some priv:tical bentfits. The eyes of foreigners are upon ns, a•.d we are be- ginning to awake ourselves. The Donegal, 78, will also, we understand, join the squadron. His Majesty's packet brig Reindeer, six, Lieu• tenant 11. P. Dicker), arrived at Falmouth on Tues. day, from South America. She sailed from Buenos Ayres on the 24th of January, and Monte Video on the :3 I of February. PROMOTIONS, A PPOIN TMEN TS, &C.— CORI.

This ship made her pasuge • out and nom in one hun aed .sixty-threc days! She sailed from Spithead on the 20,h of June last, and arrived out in eighty-six days; she sailed again from Calcutta on the 3d of last January, and per formed her homeward bound voyage in seventy . seven days, an instance of expedition, we believe, unprecedented. His Majesty's st 4 :Medusa, eight or ten years ego, performed her voyage out to Cd cl:tza in eigh t y- s i x d ays , and -which was then the quickest passage on record. The Lady Flora, how ever, performed it on her pastre home in nine days less. , Indcptriz.'ently of this the Medusa went direct to Calcutta, while the Lady Flora called at Madras on both voyage{, out and home. This fact hears testimony to the judgment and skill of Ciptain Ford. First Lieu!. Thomas Stockwell ; cf the Royal Marine.s, who recently t•ett!rried invalided from Per , nando Po, feli a victim hest week at Woolwich, from the effects of a disease contracted at that ill-fated and deadly Island, whence he returned to this coun try in company With the Landers, the noted African travellers. if we wanted further proofs, than these we have already at various times given, of the deadly effects of the climate of Fernando Po, we need only add to the above melancholy announcement, that four of Lieu'. Stockwell's children died in that island within the space of three months ! We understand that the discharge on superannua tion of the Dock-yard artificers, who had been se lected for that purpose has been suspended in all his Majesty's Dock-yards. The Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty have ordered an increase of twenty privates to be made to each of the two companies of Royal Marine Artil lery ; a preference to be given to such volunteers as originally belonged to that corps.

N TIIE (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) Newcastle, Saturday, April 21, 1832. You are aware that the coal-owners and their servants the colliers are at variance. About half of the men have been re-engaged for another year; the rest, amounting to from 8,000 to 9,000 men are unemployed. Several of the coal-owners not being able to come to terms with the regular pitmen,have hired lead miners from Alston and the neighbour hood in their stead. The consequence must be se rious. The poor lead miner from earning seven shillings a week to support himself and his family is thus enabled to obtain from fifteen to twenty shil lings a week, while the pitman is, from a state of comfort, reduced to poverty and rendered an outcast. The coal-owners have a number of small cottages near their coal mines which are occupied by their wo:kuieu ilc a nominal rent or rent tree. These, by their bonds, they agree to quit fourteen days after their engagement ceases. It ceased cn the .sth of April, and such of the men as had not been re engaged were of course under obligation to leave their houses on Thursday last, the 19th. The owners of Helton colliery, who employ an immense number of men, apprehending that their pitmen would not quit the houses in order to make way for lead miners, have obtained from the Home De partment a party of the London police. They have trained a number of men to act under them. They proceeded this morning to eject about thirty haul lies from their cottage , . The people had been led to expect this, and made no resistance. On Monday morning they intend to eject the re mainder, to the extent of not less, I should suppose, than five hundred families. The owners of Jarrow Colliery will follow the example. A party of soldiers are stationed at this moment at Jarrow, in order to support the con stables, if they should not be able to eject the pit men from the houses without assistance, This is a lamentable state of things. The pitmen have terms offered to them by which they may earn from fifteen to twenty shillings per week ; one half of them are dissatisfied, and expect they will be supported by the other half, who are at work till the owners can no longer do without them, and are forced to give them whatever they demand. They rely on their union and their numbers to effect their own terms. Should such a system of intimidation succeed with the colliers, it is impossible to say where it will end. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN: Sift,-The object Government had in view in sacrificing revenue to promote the Timber trade with Canada (the employment of a greater number of seamen) being de feated, as that trade is now monopolized by large ships, which are navigated with a smaller number of hands, in proportion to the cargoes they bring than the Baltic trad , rs, I beg to point out an effectual way to increase our sailors, and to save expense to the nation. My plan is to abolish all ports where the cost of collect ing the revenue exceeds twice the charge at the ports of London, Liverpool, Hull, or Bristol. It is a great hard ship on the country to have to pay more for receiving the revenue at small ports than at the foregoing large ports, whose establishments could collect all the revenue England derives from imports and exports ; but when the expense is more than double, it is an actual fraud on the public, and this is the case with many places, where only one or two cargoes are imported in a season. In fact, several small ports do not collect sufficient to pay their Custom house expenses. I trust some independent Member of the House of Commons will move for a return of the revenue collected at every port in England, and the expense of col lecting it. Should he add to his motion the distance the Custom-houses are from the places where the ships dis charge (in some instances from ten to twenty miles), it would show how far it is probable the revenue can be protected in some of these favourit e T ory j o b s. That the present Ministers' predecessors found these petty ports very convenient for their satellites, there can be no doubt ; but they are quite inefficient as regards im proving the revenue, and they greatly circumscribe the coasting trade, the best nursery for seamen. 1 urn, Sir, your mosiobee.ient AN ENEMY TO JOBBING. CARLTON TERRACE.—The new houses on CAton Gardens have turned out most fortunate specula• tions. Lord GODERICII has recently paid 25,000/. for one of them, which must leave a profit of full 50 per cent. to the original tenant of the Crown. For a smaller house the Count and Countess de SALIS paid last year 10,0001. to Mr. CROKER. Lord KENSINGTON gets 15001. a year for his, unfurnished, for the new Convervative Club; and that of Lord STEW ART nE ROTIISAY is let furnished to Sir MictrAil. SHAW STEW ART , f or a still larger sum. Mr. HORAC E Twiss is said to have been very lately paid 3,000/. for the stables alone atta c h e d to his mansion in ' the same recherche vicinity.— Court Journal. In the middle of the last debate upon the second reading of the Reform Bill i❑ the Home of Lords, on Friday evening, the Earl of AItILGRAVE came to the door of that portion of the gallery allotted to ladies, and conversed familiarly with Countess GREY, the Counte,sof MaNsrIELD, the Countess of JERSEY, Lady GLESOALL, &c.

The entry for this meeting, which commences to-mor row, does not appear to have been prejudicia!ly affected by the all-engrossing Reform question ; for we ob,crve th it the list gives an average of more than seven races per day, and that their value is upwards of twenty-five thousand pounds more than any Craven meeting within our recol lection. The importance of the stakes, however, is far short of what might have been expected, and is confined to their pecuniary and numerical qualities. The Riddlesworth, usually so influential on the Derby betting, is this year singularly deficient in interest,'none of the horses engaged in it having by their bl3od or performances acquired any cha racter higher than third-raters. One of the principal fa vourites is brother to Cloudesley, who ran fourth in a stakes the last Houghton meeting, Reaction (quite unexpectedly to her spirited owner) running first, Bedouin second, and Cavenham third. This Cavenham was, a few weeks bark, at Tattersales off-red to any body•for 25. 1 . which assuredly says little for Cloudesley. Indeed his proprietor hedged to his stake some time back by laying 4 to 1 against him. . . - The Riddleswortli of 1832 is therefore likely to rival its predecessor of 1828 (won by that " shocking bad" horse, Brother to Emilitts), and to be forgotten as soon. This stakes has been won three 'ears out of the last four by EmiliuFes, who have a tolerable chance for the one to be decided to-morrow. Next in importance to the Riddles worth is the Column Stakes, with nearly double the num !PT of horses in it, and with little more to recommend it;— in fact, the Derby bettinc will take its tone from the first Spring meeting, wherein Beiram, Non Compos, and seve ral others, are engaged. The principal favourites for the D.-rhy ar.d Oaks are thus engaged in the meetings prior to Epsom : Beiram—ln a Sweepstakes of 200 tiovs. each, on Thursday next : in a Sweepstakes against Non Compos, First Spring; and in the Newmarket Stakes. Spencer—in the Column, Two Thousand Guinew , , and New market Stakes. Byzantium—in the Column and another Stakes on Wednes. day; in the Two Thousand Guineas and Newmarket Stakes. Munster—two Matches in the First Spring. Darioletta—Sweepstakes on Tuesday next ; ditto Monday in the First Spring, Pastille—in Hiddlesw•orth, Column, Sweepstakes on Thurs day next, ditto Monday, F. S., Two Thousand Guineas, and Newmarket Stakes. Caliban — Sweepstakes on Thursday next. Tyke—Two Thousand Guineas and Newmarket Stakes. Gratis — Newmarket Stakes and not expected to start. Non-Compos—Sweepstakes against Beiram. Margrave and Trustee have no engagements. Dryad — Sweepstakes to-morrow (this day.) Advance Sweepstakes on Wednesday next, and in the Thou. sand Guineas Stakes. Erneliana—has no engagement before the day. The match between Riddlesworth and Zany on Tues tl iy is expected to be run ; both of them are in full work. The Claret and Pol.', to all appearance, must go in'o S:r M. Wood's cellar—Camarine being at present the highest bidder for the first, and Riddlesworth for the other. The two classes of the Oatlanda will be sporting races. Oxygen and I‘.L.zeppa are the favourites for the first class, and Bo hemian for the second. On Wednesday- his Majesty's horses in training will be sold ; their blood is of the most fashionable kind, but it is not probable that they will fetch long prices, most of their engagements being nullified by the death of Mr. Delme Radcbffe. Very little use was made of them, and we may fairly expect to see a little more of them when in other hands. His Majesty has made liberal allowances to his trainer and jockey, and evinced his regard for the turf by additional prizes. The Royal challenge gift, the Eclipse Foot, will close on Tuesday. Amongst other changes oc.i casioned I y the death of Mr. Theakstone, Turner has re moved to toe stables lately occupied by that trainer, ha ving a lung s'rine of horses belonging to Lord Mount- Charles, Mr. Massey Stanley, and Mr. Robarts. M Wdliamson's horses are removed to John Robinson's. Upwards of 500 horses are now in training here, and most of them were on the exercise ground this morning. That the meeting will be one of the fullest ever known cannot be doubted : every lodging is taken, and servants with saddle horses have been pouring in from all quarters. The posting for the last day or two has been immense, especially on the road from London, through Epping, Hockerill, and Chesterford, which is now decidedly the best as it is the shortest; the hills have been either alto gether avoided or cut down (especially between Bourne bridge and Chesterford), and several awkward corners cut off; these, with other improvements, shorten the distance om town to Newmarket over the above line, with a pair of horses half an hour, and a good hour with four horses. Other alterations are in progress, which will shorten the actual distance about five miles. The following noblemen an 1 gentlemen have already arrived, or are in the neigh bout hood : Duke and Duchess of Richmond and family, Duke of Ruilind, Duke of Grafton, Duke of Portlind, Marquess of Worcester, Earl of Uxbridge, Earl and Countess of Wilton, Earl and Countess of Chesterfield, Earl Jersey, Marquess and Marchioness of Cleveland, Lord W. Paulet, Sir S and Lady Graham and family, Colonel Russell, Hon. Colonel and Mrs. Anson, Lord George Bentinck, Colonel Peel, General and Mrs. Grosvenor, lion. Captain Roos, Sir M. Wood, Earl Verulain, Colonel !Any, Cap tain and Lady Byup ; Messrs. Greville, J. Mills, Stone hewer, &o. The stables have lately been very: unhealthy.— Steven on's has been particularly unfortunate; nearly all the Duke of Grafton's horses (amongst them Pastille and Ruth) having paid for all their engagements this meeting. BETTING AT THE KINGSTON. HOUSE ROOMS. CRAVEN STAKES-6 and 7t04 on Priam, but scarcely any thing done.

COOKERY AND CONFECTIONARY.—The new edition, now on the eve of appearance, of " Dolby's celebrated Dictionary of Cookery," will contain, we un,!er stand, an addition of numerous new and valuable receipts, together with a series of the most modern bills of fare, and fashionable plans (engraved expressly for this work) for eying out the table, appropriated to the different months of the year, WINDSOR, APRIL 21. The. fineness of the *earlier this day was favourable to the inspection of the 9th Lancers in their new uniform of scarlet .it took place in the Quadrangle, and had a most imposing effect. Their MAJESTIES, accompanied by the Princess AUGSUPA, Prince GEORGE of Cambridge, the Bishop of WORCESTER, Lord FREDERICK FITZCLARENCE, and a large party of guests, were in the Quadrangte, and on the troop going into the home Park to execute some movements, for which there wag not room in the Quad rangle, the QUEEN and ladies present went on the south part of the terrace, the KING and the offiaers went into the Park. The regiment then passel through different evolutions with great precision. An order has just been issued to open the terrace to-day, to-morrow, Monday, and Tuesday. While kis MAJESTY was in the Park, a sailor on his knees presented a petition to one of the gentlemen in waiting, by whom it was handed to the KING. After the inspection, the Naval Knights who were in attendance. with Dr. GOODALL, appeared before his MAJESTY in their full dress. Last Sunday the KING ordered them to attend chapel nn week days in their undress, with sword arid chapeau, and on Sundays and particular fasts in full dress. It is reportei that their MAJESTIES will open the new bridge built over the river at Staines, and that the LORD MAYOR, of LONDON comes up to Staines to assist at the ceremony, on Monday next. The troops stationed here are ordered to parade in the Quadrangle to mor row morning as usual. APRIL, 22. Last night her Majesty's band was in attend awe at the Palace, and Mrs. ANDERSON performed several pieces at the pi inoforte. The Eastern Terrace was opened at two o'clock yesterday afternoon. The hand from the Foot barr,cks attended, and played several beautiful pieces. The troops paraded at ten o'clock this morning, the Fuot in their new uniform, and both Horse and Foot Guards with their arms for the first time. The KING and Prince GEORGE of Cambridge were present, att,nded by Sir PHILIP SIDNEY. The Bishop of WORCESTER came on Thursday arid administered the sacrament to their MA • JESTIES in the Castle. COURT CIRCULAR. The Duke and Duchess of CUMBERLAND entertained a select party at dinner yesterday, at their residence at Kew. Despatches were sent eff to the Earl of BELMORE, the Governor of Jamaica, on Saturday evening, from the Colonial-office. Despatches from Sir CUARLES COLVILLE, the Governor of the Mauritius, were received yesterday at the Office of the Sz.cretary of State for the Colonial Department. The Duke of WELLINGTON has left town for his seat at Strathfieldsay, Hants. EASTER MONDAY. Yesterday and this morning the town of Greenwich, and the roads leading from the metropolis, presented a scene of much animation, by vast crowds of persons who were flocking in countless groups to the fair. The beau tiful park, by the courteous permission of her Royal High ness the Princess Sophia of Glotic,!ster, is thrown open to the public, and the rural walks, the celebrated " One tree-hill," the Observatory, and in fact, every elevation with which the Park abounds were crowded by well dressed company, who, embracing the auspicious state of the weather, enjoyed themselves in the diversions of the festive day. To attempt to give a description of the interior of the fair,woull be utterly impossible—there are the u•ual number of exhibitions, 'peculiar to those places, but the leading attraction is the theatre of Richardson, who for up wards of half a century has followed the "sock and buskin," and from his eccentric habits, and honest principles has gained for himself the good will of the public, by whom it is said he has reaped a considerable property. The Crown and Anchor Tavern and Salle de clause, as usual, occupies an immense site of ground in Bridge-street, leading to Dept ford-creek, and although it was so splendidly fitted up last season, it now surpasses in beauty of decorations any thing of the sort yet el wed. The whole length of the e•tablish tnent is 400 feet arid proportionably wide. About 300 feet is boarded over, and forms an elegant ball-room, in which is a spacious orchestra of twenty five performers. From the roof of the building is suspended in various di rections large cut glass chandeliers, candelabras, &c., and variegated lamps dispersed in trophies and various devices, d-la- Vauxhall, adds considerably to the splendour of the interior. Yesterday evening the establishment was thrown open to the gentry of Blackheath awl Greenwich, who expressed themselves highly ple i•ed with the view. We regret to say, that although the cholera is so rapidly disappearing, Lady ANNE WvNnitam, the mo• ther of Lord DURHAM, fell a victim to its ravages on Sun day morning, after an attack of not more than eight hours' duration.—John Bull. EARLS Or LAUDERDALE AND ROSSLYNI —There is scarcely any circumstance connected with tl second reading of the Aefilrm Bill which will excite m( re general disgust in Scotland than to find the names of La UnERI;ALE " and " RossLYN " in the minority on the vote—the former by proxy, the other being personally present. Ever since we recollect any thing of politics, the Earl of LAUDERDALE was looked upon, and so conducted himself, that he claimed the distinction, as one of the stincheet of Scottish Whigs and Reformers; and my Lord ROSSIXN has in like manner token a lead in all the doings of Whiggery among us for the list twenty or thirty years. Lord LAUDERDALE was a diplomatist under the Whig Administration in 1806, previously to which time he was shrewdly suspected to be even a Republican; and Lord Ilossr.vs, up to the time that he got office under the Duke of WELLINGTON some three years ago, was one of the most prominent of our Scottish Whigs, and presided at Fox dinners, where Reform was the rallying word. But now, when the only measure of Reform that had the slightest chance of success has been brought forward by. Ministers, these patriots are found in the ranks of Oppo sition, and voting out and out against that measure.—_ Ntte North Briton. THE LATE COLONEL BRERETON.—One the two children left by thelate unfortunate Col. BRERETON, an interesting little girl, only three years of age, c ime over here, from Bristol, by the City of Waterford steamer, on Sunday last, under the care of her uncle, FRANCIS DREW, of Macollop Castle, Esq. a Magistrate of this country. It is a curious fact, but highly creditable to the generous feelings of the English people, that a number of individuals volunteered to adopt and provide amply for these children, if their guardians wou'd consent to it ; but such off. rs were, of course, declined by their affluent and respectable connexions.— Waterford Mail. Mr. JOHN KEMBLE, the eldest son of Mr. CHARLES KEMBLE, has recently returned from Paris, ac companied by his younger sister. Mr. KEMBLE expe rienced considerable difficulty in quitting the French capital, occasioned by the great demand for post-horses and carriages of every description. The cholera and its ravages in Paris absolutely drive the people to despair. " Miss FANNY KEMBLE has, we perceive, se lected for her benefit the elder COLMAN'S comedy of The Jealous Trife, in which she will personate for the first time Mrs. liakly—a character which his not been ade quattly represented since Miss O'NEIL retired from the stage, and even that exceedingly popular actress did not possess sufficient variety of genius and passion in the cha racter to leave nothing to he added. Mrs. SIDDONS pow erfully demonstrated the perturbed jealouT of Mrs. Oaklll; but even that unrivalled acttesss was too sombre in the lighter scenes of the play. Miss FARRAN alone, in our (14y, exhibited with genuine spirit all the variety and shades in the part of Mrs. Oakly. The deep impression male, not only upon the public, but upon the author himself, by Miss KEMBLZ, in the play of The hunchback, induce us to anticipate additional laurels to her great fame, by her performance of The Jealous Wife. On the first night of the Hunchback it was perceived by all who hail ever seen " Who's the Dupe ?" tfrit the character of Modus, in the former, is a trans cript of Grades in the latter. 311.. IslstowtEs himself is so fully aware of this, that in one scene, instead of " Here come; your cousin Modes," he inadvertently said , " Here comes your cousin Grades." SIIERIDAN KNOWLES, in consequence of the success of his Hunchback, has within the last week made many engagements for performing in it in the country, after its run at Covent-garden shall have termi nated. He has been offered the most liberal terms in Dublin, Cork, and Belfast, Edinburgh, Perth,. and Gl as ... go thatas wellh hands a s u ii i ,ofßabtsies i‘sr during tlii,nLeriio the• ol,& L so whole recess. On one account we arc sorry for it, as hi s occupation as an actor will probably interfere with his exertions as an author, and every body is interested that he shall continue to write for the stage : he ca n b e b et. of f ts it every praise be- more than once ter spared as a performer than as a dramatist. The Hunch back has been published, partly on his own a ccount, and we trust that he will find his account in it : t hi s we can thatsay, it we have wassince printe d, stowed upon it, not only as an acting pl a y, b ut as a poem- It read and ee v thatry syllable it mn It was, if we are not misinformed, ofLred to Mr. Alva- I •EC AY at a price considerably below what an ordinary tale will realix;. to the author. PXPRESS FROM PARIS. (From the Timee.) PARIS, SATURDAY, FOU R O'CLOCK, r. 3i., APRIL 21. Agreeably to official notice both Chamliers met to-day for the purpose of receiving a communivation from Go vernment which was announced for one o'clock. In the Chamber of Deputies, however, the chair was only taken at half past one, by the President, who inwlediately menced signing passports for the Deputies who werd about to return to their respective departments. In thid businece. he was engaged till ten minutes before two, fiord which time Until halt-past two, nothing was done, and tbd members present remained in anxious expectation of the Government message, announced officially for one o'clock. It was a quarter to three when at last M. Barthe made his appearance, in full dress, and immediately ascended the tribune, from which he read the ordinance of the King, by which the legislitive session is declared to be closed. This was received with a few cries of " Vice le Rol!" after which the President left his scat, and all the members withdrew. The rumo - Ins relating to an approac'ting change of Mi nistry, which have been lately gaining ground every day, seem to have acquired sonte consistency. It is certain that M. C. Perier's ability to resume the direction of ptilolic affairs is by this time nearly despaired of by his political adherents, and that his nearest relations and most mate private friends have resolved to use every means capable of dissuading him from the intention of doing so, which up to this moment he seems to entertain. Yester day and the day before M. Perter was much worse than he had been for some time. To-day he is rather better. His wife is in a very bad way with the cholera, and his son Paul has been attacked by the same disease. General S,bastiani is still in a hopeless state as to any pros,.ect of returning to an active life ; and as to M. d'Argout, who, since my last letter, has been attacked by the prevailing di..easc, his life is in danger, therefore no one can say that he will remain a member of the present Cabinet. Under all these circumstances, it is efident to every one that the Pvrier Adininistrati , .n is tumblifd pieces, and that the chances of a change of men, at leasf i if not of measure, almost amount to a certainty at the present moment. Great eagerness is, of course, evinced to learn the in tentions of the King as to the formation of the Cabinet in perspective. The Decazes party have, for several months, laboured constantly to prepare the way for their chief to the Ministry. The difficulty of finding a well-qualified successor to the Premiership of France, at such a moment as tlis, gives, in fact, some colouring to the hopes of the friends of the Duke Decazes, that the choice will fall on him. Many p-rsons are induced to expect it for that same reason only ; but there are others who will not ad mit the possibility that a Minister of the Restoration, and the Counsellor and private friend of Louis XVIII., can be selected to form a Ministry under the Citizen King. Another party give nut that M. tie Talleyrand is on the point of being called to Paris for the purpose of being charged with the formation of a Ministry out of the ele ments of the present one, and others compatible with them. M. Talleyrand, it is added, will only be appointed to the Presidency of the Council, without having any portfeuille. The King's decided penchant for the s)stem of policy pursued by M C. Paler, probably lead to a choice of men who have either shown themselves its supporters, or who have become sincere converts to it. Hence, if a change does become unavoidable, there is no reason to be lieve that the movement party have the smallest chance of getting into cffice. Another indication of an approaching change in, or modification of, the Cabinet, is in the temporary arrange, merit made for the administration of public affairs, and the suspense in which a great deal of public business is left to remain until there are chiefs in the bureaux to which they relate, officially authorised to despatch the sates. In ad dition to Messrs. Barthe and Montalivet's momentary di rection of the affairs of the interior and commerce, the Count de Heyneval, who, as you know, was porceeding t* Madrid, has been recalled from the quarantine at Bayonne, for the purpose of assuming the temporary direction of foreign affairs. Nis recall was announced to him by telegraph, and lie is already on his way bock to Paris. Some say that lie arrived this morning. The decline of the cholera is still apparent from the official and other reports, but it is not quite as rapid as it promised to be when it first began. Among the most re cent victims of the disease is Mr. Philipp, the Hanoverian Charge d'Affaires. On Wednesday afternoon I met him on the Boulevard,—he was then in high spirits and per fect health. Last night he was a corpse. Letters from Switzerland, received to day, state that the Cantons of Valais and Giiions had just signed, at Lucerne, a treaty with the Pope's Nuncio, for the use of j a n c t o i r , p e s of sam 3,000 ~,ap Swiss troops, troops,osho troops sfr a o r t m e t o er h s es re a . me the Pope guattr served the former Bourbons of France. (From the Morning Herald Correspondent.) Paris, April 21. You will have seen that a series of official bulletins w, published daily in the Moniteur, purporting to give the numb r of deaths occasioned by the cholera in Paris and the Banlieu since its appearance here. The " Official Bulletin" published on the 10th instant states the num her of deaths on the preceding day at 385. A " more official" statement, published last Thursday, raises the number of deaths on the 9th instant (the day in question) to 861. The official bulletin of the 16th instant stated the deaths on the 14th at 214—the " more official" report, since published, states it at between five and six hundred. Guverninent may have acted wisely in withholding the real returns, but what credit can it expect for its new bulletins, so immediately connected with the avowal that the former was false ? Much of the show of desolation which marked the early days of the malady is no longer perceptible, hut the knowledge that it spreads throughout the city cannot be withheld from the people. The deaths of severe! persons among the easier classes are an nounced daily in the journals, and prove—to those who know the manner in which the French live—that ; previous bad habits predispose even the well-clad and the well-lodged for the reception of the disease ; but you ' might as well reason with a stone wall, against which in • the dark you knocked your head, as with a Frenchman or Frenchwoman, on any point whatever on which they had previously made up their minds. The lowest chiffonnier s time most abject drudge of a servant, would not hesitate to give you the lie direct were you to tell him that the streets of Paris were unclean—the fool of its inhabitants un wholesome—the manners of the people rude—or the liquor called wine execrable. All the remonstrances of ioreign era are, therefore, lost upon them. The Parisians observe that (thank God!) " the English have escaped the cholera almost miraculously ;" and they say, " Oh ! 'tis to the use of Ito that they owe this impunity." I write in a house in which there are three persons at present ill. I found the owner of it a few minutes since preparing break fast for herse'f and family. The first dish I noticed was composed of bouille (beef boiled to the consistence of - oakum) mixed up with onions, oil, and vinegar. The next was a salad composed of chicoree (endive, I believe) • the leaves of dandelion, and cold boiled potatoes, which, in order to their being well saturated with water, had been left steeping in it since yesterday. This mess, when floated in oil ant vinegar, will form one that appeared to me so pregnant with danger for those for whom it was , destined, that I implored of the lady to throw it into the streets. A laugh and a sneer were my recompense. Go into the first families, or frequent the first-rate re stGurants, and you will find the upper classes not better instructel on these matters ; and in the proofs I ant about to give I shall speak of men and women. The first item called for or set before them is oysters; the next, Raw' artichokes ! The next, hot wat er , ca ll e d soup, in the proportion of et least a pint to each person. The next, a patty of some sort or other, the paste an indigestion for a ploughman. Then come some tolerable articles—fish, - flesh, or fowl. Then some green trash called a salad. To these succeed fritters, omelettes, cakes, fruits, cheese, in incredible qaantities; the whole 'washed down with from three to ;oar pints to each nerson of cold water—in all a trifling admixture of poisi;n, under the name tin ordinaire. Such is the ordinary course of a French dinner. There is an exception, however—that is, when some unhappy Wight is the entertainer of the party ; and then, it not being at their own expense, men and women ern and do gulp down with infinite promptitude Burgundy, Ilmrsleaux, and Coampaigne, coffee, and strong liquors to a vary considerable extent. This is no overcharged pic ture; but persons who know not the fact wall hardly be lieve that what I have said applies not to a single meal in the d wily, hut to two—breakfast and dinner. The quantity of food consumed by a Parisian, nude er female, is, without exaggerteion, twice that of a London dray man ; the quantity of cold water equal nearly to the por ter swallowed by a coalheaver in time dog-day. These being facts, can you wonder at the spread of the disease among even the better class of the Parisians? Tha official returns admit that eight thousand persons have already been carried off by the cholera. I am assured the number of deaths up to Thursday , last exceeded 16,000. I have referred to the providential escape of our country men and women hitherto with comparative impunity. 1 orn sorr y, however to find that two " English" have died of the epidemic within these 48 hours—tamely, Mr. penl iss , a Secretary of the Haeoverian Minister, and Mrs. McCarthy, wife of Ale. D. 111•Crrdry, of the Rue de Bit— I A lady deeply and de-ervedly regietted. Many, very many Loglkh have ktti attacked ; but thank Heaven the above
