Eleven races Were in the list, and nearly all of them came off. It is expected that their Majesties will again attend the Heath this day, to-morrow, and Friday ; but to-morrow being what is termed the " Grand Day," it is expected the assemblage will be of the most magnificent description.

Last night, Viscount Chateaubriand, the Duke of Fitz james, and Baron Hyde de Neuville, were arrested. The papers found on M. Berryer were the cause of their ar rests, and they were executed in virtue of a demand to that effect made by the Procureur-General of the Cour Royale of Rennes, and of a warrant issued by the Judges charged with examining the affairs relative to the disturbances in the West. The same warrant included the Duke of Bel luno, who could not be found. M. Chateaubriand w as arrested at five o ' c l oc k thi s morn i ng, a t R ue d'Enfer, No. 8 4 ; the house was surrounded at two o'clock; they waited until day-light before they entered. M. Chateaubriand showed much sang froid at this un expected early visit. He spoke to all those who sur rounded him with perfect tranquillity of mind, and took his grades, in order to write verses to beguile his capti vity. He is accused of being the President of the Occult Regency. We repeat this report, wnich would be circu lated we re we t o ma k e no mention of it. If we thought that this could in the least aggravate the position of the prisoner, we would rather destroy our presses than publish such a report. But there is in question the celebrated writer, the man of genius, on whom all Paris, all France, all Europe, will have fixed their eyes ; and we collect, for the interest of all parties, whatever is connected with an event which we see with great grief connected with others so frightful and so fatal. Baron Hyde de Neuville was arrested at his residence at four o'clock this morning. He was in bed, and scarcely recovered from the cholera and the gout. He protested against all the causes mentioned in the warrant; be is at the Prefecture, in a small room on the third story. Madame de Neuville demanded as a favour to be allowed to accom pany her husband as his nurse. The Duke of Fitzjames was arrested, we are told, in a house in the Rue Chaussee d'Antin. (From the Messager des Chambres.) It appears that the Ministry, encouraged by the last partial elections, as wel: as by what they consider to be the dispositions of the generality of the electors, and judging from the addresses of congratulation which they received, are about to dissolve the Chamber of Deputies. The propriety of reinforcing their own party by one or two influential men, and of strengthening the phalanx in the Chamber of Peers by about 50 experienced Deputies, would be worth consideration previous to such a measure as this. It is said that after the arrival of Prince Talleyrand, who is expected on Thursday or Friday, the determination will be made public. The Sentinelle de Bayonne states, that General Mina had paned through Bordeaux on his route to the frontiers of the Pyrenees. (From the Gazette de France of Saturday.) PARIS, JUNE Is.—At an interval of two or three days, fifty Lancers, preceded by two gendarmes, have been to make a search, in the chateau of Usse, belonging to the D u k e d e Duras, who is at this moment travelling in Italy. It may be easily supposed that this search led to no result. The chateau of Usse is between four and fire leagues from Tour,. (From the Journal du Commerce of Sunday.) 4la, Jots 16.—T day a Secretary of the French Legation at St. PetereZurgh, s out from the 11 0 I ffi or ce tier f ' or Forei gn Affairs with et despatches express for Martial Some persons affirm that it seems evident, from papers lately seized, that the Emperor Nicholas has not renounced his plan of attacking France, which in 1830 led to the Polish insurrection. They infer, that the despatches sent to Marshal Mortier may contain an order, recalling him. This we soon shall know, The Nourelliste says, Prince Talleyrand is expected on Thursday. The number of the Deputies who have adhered to the Compte Rendu, is 119 or 120. ivIEST COUNCIL OF TVAR—PARIS. CONCLUSION OF THE TRIAL OF CAPTAIN rEPIN, OF TILE NATIONAL GUARD, nut 111011 TREASON. The Cage for th e prosecution being closed, the prisoner protested his innocence, and requested that his witnesses might be called. FOR THE DEFENCE. M. Gauthier, formerly Inspector of Finance, and M. Berthier, Chef de Batailloa, gave the prisoner a character for rounme or mangers, and a political bias in favour of T tie existing Government. Some members of his corps deposed that he had given orders to them to assemble early in the morning for the purpose of driving away the canaille; that they did net meet until an hour after be was arrested ; that he had taken every possible step t o oppose the factious ; that the guns found in his house had never been used ; and that his well known character and political bias must have rende red it impossible that he could have acted as be was accused of doing. M. Marie—l present myself before you, oppressed, in a great measure, by the weight of the responsibility which has fallen upon me. lam here to defend a man for his life, and I am well aware what an important thing is the existence of the father of a family. For this defence I have had the preparation only of a few hours. I did not, however, hesitate to undertake so difficult a duty. I con fide particularly in your honour. If the defence be im perfect, it is not from want of zeal on my part, and it is not you that will be to blame. No other consciences will be responsible. Your judgment will, I trust, come in aid of on insufficient defence ; on that I rely, and there fore proceed to the charges immediately before us. First of all it is my duty to object to your competency. As an individual I should be happy to leave my client at your disposal, but as a citizen, I have another obliga tion to perform. In my judgment a constitutional right has been violated, and it is left with me to vindicate that right. To show respect for a Consti tution in times of tranquility is easy, and agues no particular merit in a man ; but to show respect for it in a stormy period, when sedition is sapping the very founda tions of the country, is as act of difficulty, and therefore one of honour. Doubtless, when a Government is assailed, it must defend itself; such a power is essential to its existence; but if this be admitted, it must also be allowed that when the crisis has terminated, justice as well as the country itself should return to its original normal condi tion. When the events of the sth of June commenced, when an insolent few without intelligence, without in fluence, audaciously presumed to impose its sentiments on a majority, no one could sympathize with such a minority, and I am ready to admit that the declaration of a state of siege was necessary, under the circumstances. But what did those in power do ? They appealed to the army, to the National Guard, and the disorder was put down. Here the matter ended. By whose councils it was then that, when tranquillity was thus established, a state of siege was talked of again? Military honour was per fectly satisfied with its triumphs—why then these rash councillors to urge measures for which there can be no justification ? Gentlemen, your mission is im portant : conquerors as you are, you are called on to de cide upon the vanquished in the field of battle. I rely upon your honour, and I broach the question of your competency. In my view of the case, your incompetency is grounded on a double foundation—first, the unconstitu tional nature of the ordinance for placing the city in a state of siege, and next its retrospective character. The advo cate then proceeded to discuss the points in a manner that calls forth from the editor of Le Temps, a warm strain of panegyric. The reporter having briefly replied, The prisoner was about to make some observations, when the Court interfered, and suggested that he could add nothing to the effect which his counsel had made. The prisoner acted on the suggestion. The trial being closed, the Judge retired, and on returning into Court pronounced judgment. The charges were for 1. Attempting to excite to arms against the Royal authority. 2. Attempting to raise civil war by arming the peopl e against each other. 3. Heading armed bands to resist the constituted au thorities. Having harboured and protected the said bands, knowing their designs. 5. Conspiring to destroy and change the Government, and excite the people to take up arms against the Royal authority, such conspiracy being followed up by overt acts. 6. Having knowingly and voluntarily supplied the said bands with arms, munitions, Etc., for the purpose of resist ing legal authority, &c. 7. Having by himself resolved to destroy and change the Government, &c. The Judges decided as follows :.—Six votes to one for acquittal on the first charge; the same majority for acquittal on the second; unanimous for acquittal on the third; six to one for acquittal on the fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh charges. The acquittal of M. Pepin was then formally pro nounced, and he was ordered to be forth set at liberty, when he shouted out " Vive le Roi !"

JOSEPH ADAMS, Agent, Leith and Glasgow Wharf. SUNDAT.-SECOND TRIAL. At eleven o'clock the Council of War, presided by M. Chateauheandot, Colonel of the 2d regiment of Dragoons, and consisting of the same officers who sat yesterday on the trial of M. Pepin, took their seats. An officer of the Court then placed a few cavalry sword., a musket, and a fowling-piece, upon the table ; after which the Captain-Reporter read the charges against the accused, M. Wachez, a baker, who was absent from the audience. The charges resulting from the various proces verbaux, and depositions of 16 witnesses read by that officer, were, that in the evening of the sth inst , Wachez, dressed in his uniform of a National Guard, sallied out from his home, ordered a barricade to be raised in front of his door, introduced a number of persons into his house, armed them, and, when M. Gournay d'Arnonville, a Commissary of Police, was advancing at the head of the troops to restore order, fired upon him from a window of the first floor of his house, and killed him. Another shot had been fired at the same time on the Commissary, by a man, dressed in a blouse (smock-frock), from a coach door ; and one of the witnesses who was in Wachez's house stated, that an unknown man had forced his way in, at the approach of the troops, had gone up stairs, and might have fired the shot that killed the Com missary. One of the witnesses, a wine-merchant, of the rue Montmartre, had stated in a first interrogatory, that Wachez, on coming to drink a glass of wine in his shop, had said, " I thought I had taken a better aim at the Commissary, but it would seem that I had missed him." This, he asserted, had occurred the very evening, but in another interrogatory, the same witness said that meeting Wachez the next morning, he had accosted him, and said " every body in this quarter attributes to you the honour of having killed the Commissary." " Ta, ta, ta," replied the baker, "it is not worth talking of." The reading of the charges being concluded, the priso ner was then introduced. He was a man about fifty years of age, advanced with a steady pace, and presenting himself before the Court, protested against the compe tency of the Council, but said he would defend himself but as one yielding to superior force. M. Henrion, the counsel of the prisoner, also pro tested, and said he would contend the question of com petency in the pleadings; but prayed the Court not to consider the protest of his client a distrust in the justice of the Court, who had given the day before so manifest a proof of it. Wachez was then questioned, and replied with the utmost manliness—" On re t urn i ng from La marque's funeral, be found several persons collected round his house, who had already forced several other houses to obtain instruments for making barricades. They took an iron bar from his shop. Whilst the barricade was making he was in his shop with his wife, and several unknown persons, who had taken shelter in it at the approach of the troops. It would have been inhuman in him to close his doors against the people, who were flying before the troops. He prevented a man from firing, and no shot was fired from his house. His wife was very ill; if he had a notion to go out, she would have hindered him. The loaded musket found in his room was not loaded by him, and it was only the next morning he perceived that it was loaded. If a shot had been fired from his window, some neighbour would have seen it. There were seven or eight persons, in his room, whom he repeatedly left to go to his wife, who was in tears, and cannot say that some one of them might not have loaded his arms in his ab sence. M. Courtin, the wine -merchant, called him in, and asked him if he had not had the honour of killing the Commissary. " MalLeteux," replied he, " don't credit such a report ; I did no such thing." Mr. Henriod here explained to the Court the circum stances that led to the invasion of his shop, which it was not in his power to prevent. lie then gave some expla nation relative to the distribution of his shop. Mr. Thomasy, the first witness, was called, but did not answer. M. Thomas, the second sergeant of the 14th regiment, did not know the prisoner. He formed p art o f a de tachment which proceeded under the o r d ers o f Captain Thomasy, to take a barricade in the rue M ontmartre. A shot was fired from the window of the first fl oor, at the corner of the street, but was n ot sure it was from a window, out of which hung a tricoloured flag, or the next. The prisoner said that the flag hung out of his window since 1830. Thomas deposed that the Commissary of Police had been wounded by the shot fired from the window. It was the only one fired at the time he fell. A corporal of the same regiment recognised the accused upon the occasion in question. Witness was stationed at the Post-office, and accompanied the Commissary o f K.. lice. O n arr i v i ng a t rue Montmartre, they perceived the insurg e nt s bad left, who fired upon them, and a man at a window to the right, with military cap, and the uniform of the National Guard. The Commissary was wounded tilt • LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JUNE 20, 1832. The atrocious outrage committed yesterday on his MAJESTY, by an expelled Greenwich pensioner, cannot fail to call forth the warm in dignation of all classes of his subjects. A more unmanly, a more ruffian assault was never yet perpetrated. Fortunately, his MAJESTY re ceived no serious injury, and when recovered from the first shock of so sudden and unexpected an attack, showed himself on the balcony of the grand stand to his people, who hailed this proof of his safety with loud and re peated acclamations of loyalty. The miscreant was instantly secured. There is no metamorphosis recorded by OVID so sudden or so striking as that which takes place in the sentiments of a patriot when once he becomes fairly installed into office. The air of the Treasury Bench has a wonderful effect on the minds of all who come within reach of its in fluence. It paralyses their memory, tames their energy, and throws such a cloud over their un derstanding that they can see neither before nor behind them. Place is the touch-stone of political integrity ; the fiery ordeal which few can pass unscathed. Sir J. HOBIIOUSE, we fear, is not one of these select few. He has been singed dreadfully in his transit across the ordeal of the Treasury Bench. " The flaming patriot who so lately scorched us in the East, now sinks calmly in the West, and is hardly felt as he descends." His loud, indignant elo quence has subsided into a whispered so briety of thought and language, as if he had no longer the f ree use o f his speech, and was under a sor t o f t ac it agreem ent to say as little as possible about those abuses which formerly called forth his most im passioned Philippics. This change was very perceptible last night in the Right Honourable Secretary at War's reply to Mr. HU NT Proposition for abolishing the punishment' of flogging in the army. He asserted, indeed, that his opinions on the subject were still unchanged, but—w e never yet knew a confession proceed from the Ministerial Bench, without a " but clinging to it like a burr—he added, that with respect to Mr. ITtnrr's proposed ad dress to the Crown, he was not sure that the KING was able to carry into effect the abolition or suspension of corporeal punishments. This may or may not be the case, but we should have thought that a stanch patriot like Sir J. HOBHOUSE, who when on the Opposition Bench, rendered himself so conspicuous by his denunciation of military flogging, would not have left it to con jecture, but made himself sure of the point long ere now, and on his very first entrance into office, proposed some decisive measure to do away with that crying enormity which for so many years furnished him with his most fruitful theme for eloquence and vituperation. But the Right Hon. Gentleman is now in office, and it would be contrary to all precedent to expect him to be otherwise than most rigidly discreet. The Treasury Bench is not exactly the theatre from which any undue ebullition of public spirit is to be expected. As to the Secretary of War's boast of his having been able to reduce the " number of lashes inflicted by Regimental Courts-martial from 300 to 200, and by Garrison Courts-martial from 500 to 300," it is a mere begging of the question, a paltry quibble, unworthy the sagacity of a Statesman like Sir J. HOBHOUSE. No man knows better than the Right Hon. Gentleman, that it is not the number of lashes, but the dishonour attend ing the infliction even of one, that constitutes the enormity of military flogging. The question is not one of bodily, but of mental, torture, for the soldier who has received but one lash is in effect quite as much degraded, quite as much lost to himself, the service, and his country, as he who has received a thousand. We hope Sir J. HOBTIOUSE will not deem it inconsistent with his notions of the duties of office, to turn his attention seriously to this subject, with the view of applying a prompt and efficient remedy. According to the Nuremburg Correspon dent, it would seem that the late fete at Ham bach has given prodigious offence to the German Authorities, who are all on the qui vine respect ing it. The Brussels Papers contain no news of interest. by the shot fired from the wider of Wachtel house. The Commissary was shot when helping him to remove a ca briolet that formed part of the barricade. Did not per ceive that the Commissary was wounded until he walked twenty.five paces towards the Post-office, where he fell. Witness could not tell whether the Commissary had his face or his back turned towards the baker's house (the wound was inflicted through the breast, and, from its appearance, made by a shot fired from above), and only saw the smoke, as he conceived issuing from the window where the flag was hoisted.—Left sitting. Fourteen other witnesses remained to be examined, with four favourable to the prisoner, who were ordered to he sent for, at the request of M. Henrion, in virtue of the President's discretionary power. PRICKS OF STOCKS THIS Bank Stock 3 per Cent.

This morning'a quarterly general meeting of the Propri. etors of East India Stock, was held in the Court Room, in Leadenhall-street. At twelve o'clock, the Chairman, J. G. Ravenshaw, Esq. and the Directors, entered the Court, when the minutes of the last Court were read and confirmed. The Chairman then said that the Directors had come to a resolution that they should recommend that a dividend of 54 per cent. on the capital stock of the Company, be de clared, which was put, and carried unanimously, Mr. TWINING presented a report from the Bye.laws Committee, which stated that they had been strictly at tended to during the past year. The old Committee were then reappointed. Mr. LOWNDES said, that he was an Englishman of the old shoo!, and would speak his mind in any place. He 93. w that the papers were calling for a reduction of the interest, but he for one would never consent to it, while the proprietors of these very papers were dividing more than double every year than what the Company could afford, to do. Neither could he consent to a reduction of the interest, till the large salaries were cut down, and the in. ferior officers better paid. The Honourable Proprietor made a long speech about the Reform Bill, the Duke of Wellington, &c. ; but as it had no connection with the business then before the Court, we omit it. After a few observations from Mr. RIGBY, the Court adjourned. Lord DOVOR is again spoken of as likely to replace Sir Roaawr ADAIR our present Minister at Brussels. His Lordship is known to be a steady and uncomprising advocate of liberal principles, and a per sonal friend of the present SOVEREIGN of Belgium, who stood sponser to the Noble Baron's infant son the Hon. LEOPOLD GEORGE FREDERICK AGAR ELLIS. Lord DovoL is also favourably known as an author of reputa tion; he has recently completed a life of FREDERICK the Great of Prussia, and is an acute and industrious inquirer into most historical questions.

KING'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) CLANDER.-COWELL v. BRITTEN. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, a butcher in Sloane-street, to recover compensation for slanderous expressions uttered to his prejudice by the defendant, who w is also a butcher in the same neighbourhood, and it was alleged, that in consequence of the slander the plaintiff was refused credit by several persons with whom he had been in the habit of dealing. It appeared from the evidence of several witnesses that some time in the second or third week of October the de fendant was in the parlour of the Cock public-house, nett. Sloane street in conversation with Mr. Stobie, a baker, (only one other person being the room, and he sitting at another table ;) that during that conversation the subject of cheap meat was broached, and defendant said, " Well may some people sell cheap meat when they are able to pay their debts by half a crown in the pound." Mr. Stobie asked if be alluded to Mr. Randall, a butcher in the neighbourhood, who, he believed to be a monied man. The defendant said "No ;" and, upon being asked to whom he alluded, he said, " I hear that Cowell has been offering his creditors half a erown in the pound." Mr. Stobie expressed his regret at such a circumstance, and said he had believed Mr. Cowell to be well off, as he had two large shops. About the latter end of the same month, the rumour was spread in Smithfield market of the plaintiff's insolvency, and, in con•equence, the usual credit which he had received from two graziers was refused him. The plaintiff's attorney called upon the defendant, assuring him of the falsehood of the report, and requesting him to contradict it ; the de fendant refused to contradict it, affirming that he believed it to be true. The Jury found for the plaintiff—damages, 40s. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY. FROM LLOYD'S DEAL, JUNE 19.—Wind calm.—Arrived from the river and sailed the Hercules, Vaughan, for New South Walee.

Four individuals are at present in custody on suspicion of having been concerned in murdering the unfortunate young man John Parkinson. Brownbill, one of the ac cused, is a very respectable young fellow, son to an (Tu. lent farmer of Swinton, with whom he re%itle., and has always borne an excel!ent character for humanity. The three Wyches, father and two sons, are wheelwrights re siding at Eccles, a few miles from Swinton, and, for the last few weeks had been employed at Mr. Brownbill, senior's, farm in making a cart ; and en the night of the murder their labours having fini,hed, they assembled at Mr. Doming's, the White Lion, in tie parish of Woreley, for the purpose of drinking "success to the cart and its owner," termed amongst wheelwrights, " working the cart." They were all pretty forward in liquor, and the younger Peter Wyche mrt with the de ceased, who charged him with having plagued some female friends of his on the way to the races, which Wyche denied, but the deceased persisted that he had done so, and threw him down near the toll-bar, and kicked and beat him severely; after which deceased made off towards his (Mr. White's) home, to which he was sub sequently followed by the persons charged with the murder., THE INQUEST. The inquest was held at the Ball, in Swinton, on Mon day, which lasted the whole day. Henry Collier—Was an hostler at the sign of the White Lion, in Swinton. On the night of Thursday last, the 14th inst., Anthony Brownbill, old Peter Wyche, and Samuel Wyche, his son, were drinking at the White Lion. About ten o'clock, young Peter Wyche came into the house, and joined thews. He complained to his fah, r and brother of a thrashing he had just received from Par kinson. Old Peter seemed vetted, and said he wished be could meet with him, as he would " serve him out." In a short time afterwards, Brownbill and the three Wycht a left the house, and in about an hour returned again, when witness heard the old man say, " I've given the rascal that which will stick by him." James Entwistle said, that on the night of Thursday, about half-past ten, he was proceeding towards the toll bar house when he was overtaken by old and young Peter Wyche ; the old man asked him if he had seen Parkinson ; witness said, No ; when the old man re marked, " I wish I could light of him, I would make hint as he would purr (kick) nobody no more." Witness walked with them as far as the bar, when they were joined by Anthony Brownbill and Samuel Wyche. The old man asked a neighbour, near the bar, if they had seen the fight. They said that they had, and that young Wyche had been very shamefully us,d by Parkinson, and that they were afraid the latter had killed him with kicking him. Old Wyche then asked Brownbill if be knew where Parkinson lived ; and the former said he did, but advised him not to go that night. However, old Wyche was determined, and Brownbill consented to show him the way. Witness then left them, and they turned up a narrow lane, towards White's house, the old man saying, " If I can leet on him I'll do his business." Mary Smith, a girl 16 years of age, on the night of Thursday tie 14th, was sitting with Mrs. White in the kitchen for company. The deceased was in the lioue, and asked Mrs. White for some money to go to the public. house. She gave him 3d., and he left the house, but sometime afterwards returned. Deceased was in the house at about eleven o'clock, near which time three men came to the house—one of whom were Brownbill. Brownbill went up to Parkinson, and taking hint by the collar, gently drew him towards the door, saying " I think that you are Parkinson," deceased said that he was, and asked " what was to do." When they got to the door, Brownbill said to some one outside," He's here." A little man (Samuel Wyche) then came into the house, followed by a taller man, and she saw the hand of the taller m:mn raised to strike Parkinson, but she did not observe whether he bad anything sharp, or otherwise, in his hand. Brownbill appeared to lift up his hand as if to stop the blow. A scuffle ensued, and Parkinson retreated into the back kitchen, but the taller Wyche fetched him back. After a struggle Parkinson made his escape at the back-door into the orchard, and the man having missed him, went out at the front door. Mrs. White was much afraid, as Mr. White was from home, and as soon as the man was gone, she locked the doors; witness heard ❑o snore of the matter until between four and five the next morning, when Joseph Potter Came in to the house and said, that Jack was lying dead i❑ the orchard. - Alrs. White corroborated the last witness, as to tie time the three men caine to the house. Joseph Potter lives next door to Mr. White; got up on Sunday morning last, between four and five o'clock, looked through the window into Mr. White's orchard, and saw the deceased lying there, at the distance of about 40 yards from White's back door ; he immediately put on his clothes, and went to the spot, found the &ceased quite dead. Anthony Long, about a quarter to eleven, was passing White's house with William Beswick, Samuel Fernely, and James Bury, on the Thursday night in question, and heard a scuttling. He went to the gable end of the house, and saw Brownbill and Samuel Wyche coming out of the orchard, and heard them say that they were better pleased at what they had done than they should have been if they had " fetched law" for him. Near the door of the liou,t, witness met young Peter Wyche, who held a knife in his hand. He told witness that Parkinson had been thrash.. ing him. Old Wyche came up and said to young Poor, " You should not have pulled your knife out, I have !oven enough." Heard Brownbill say that it could not do to make that disturbance at any person's house. They all then want off in the direction of home ; but Samuel came back again and went into the orchard a second time. Young Peter remarked to witness, with a knife in his hand, that he would mark Parkinson. It was quite dark, and witness could not see whether there was any blood upon the knife. William Beswick, Samuel Fernely, and Jimes Bury, also gave evidence, but which only went to corroborate the statements of the last witnesses. About this stage of the proceedings the Coroner a, jti journed the investigation to Wednesday morning, at nine, o'clock. We have good authority to state, that the Niarchioness of LANSDOWNE'S ball is postponed from the 26th of June to the 3d of July.
