r il I ruhnc—children none at U. They are fabt clinging to the bosoms of their unhappy mothers, as if frightened by wolves, wild beasts, or monstrous spee'res, at whose head Nicholas stands prominent, as in him the soul of the infanticide Herod is meta morphosed. StiA the metropolis bears her misfor tunes with dignity and calmness,approaching on sub- Emily; like Laocoon encircled with serpents, she looks up to Heaven, vanquishing , her grief. Our poor countrymen, even of the lowest classes, may be said to be happily pfted by nature with a religious confidence. Their belief in the speedy deliverance ortheir count ry is strong among them; they bear, there fore, with calmness, and apparent serenity, their ill destiny, in the universal affliction. Impressed with this conviction and faith, they imagine, in the sim plicity of their minds, that either the French, or the fr:endiy Hungarians, are but a few miles distant from Warsaw, hastening to rescue them. Proba bly the for , ifit•ations which the Russians are speedily erecting might he one of the cau•es that suggest them to that simple, cherished wish of their warm patriotism. Without any bent to dissension or fa natacism, they often make their enemies the object of their ridicule and merry joke, and never fail to maintain their superiority over the rude and barba rous automata. SECOND EDITION. SUN OFFICE, Seven o' Clock. IMPERIALPARLIAMENT THIS EVENING. HOUSE OF COMMONS. Lord LUMLEY prets-nted a petition from 111msfitdd, in the county of Nottineham against the Scotch and Irish Vazrant4 Remoysl 1111. Mr. HOPE presented a petition from the workmen of Cupar itilillx, in the county of Fife, against the Bill for the regulation of 14hour in factories. Mr. MULLINS presented a petition from a pariah in the county of Kprry, against the the tithe system. Mr- O'CONNELL supported the petition. Mr. W. BROUGHAM brought up the report of the Committee on the General Registry Bill. He then pre sented a petition from the patish of Sr. Mary, Bother hithe, again.t the Vagrants' Removal Bill. Mr. O'CONNELL presented a petition from the southern districts of the county of Dublin, agreed to at a met.' ing, assembled on the top of the Three Rock Mountains, against tile tithe system. He also presented a petition from Mr. Coht.ett, which as coming from au individual could ned be printed, and therefore the Learned Member said be would trouble the House with its details, some pat is of which, however, he :aid he could not concur in. Ti e petitioner stated that the provisions of the Reform Bill in respect lo registration were extremely complicated, and it would be almost impossible to carry it into eff et. He also complained that it tended to put the franchise into the hands of the tich and to embar ra-s the poor. He conceived that every man who was liable to be drawn for the militia was entitled to a vote. The Hon. Member hoped that suffi cient si.eurity would be given for a free exercise of votes by the House visiting any improper Interference with a .r yore punishment. The petitioner prayed for annual Par!' irnsnts. universal suffrage, and vote by ballot. Mr. HUNT said tit.. petition had abused him for ad voc.•lting the very measures which he was now anxious should he adopted. The petitioner hail been veering round for some time in his publication ; and now, after the Reform Bill had passed, he came forward to bare it completely alterered by the introduc tion of annual Parliaments, vote by ballot, and, universal suffrage. He was, and always should he, ready to vote for A torte ex•ended measur.., as lie believed it to be the only means of preven , ing bribery, which was now going on to a great extent. At the present m.inent voters were having their rates paid for them The voters of St. ff.rd were all bribed. The Hon. Member did not know any person better qualified than ciepeti:ioner to turn round fr..m one side to the other. Air. HARVEY thought the clause in the Bill which; made it compukory upon vott-rs to pay their rates on or before the 20th of July, was a great inducement to briberyi but he could not see that it would be prevented by /mow,' Rirliaments, universal sufft age, and vnte by b.i110% If sucli a measule ever become law, the Government of the country would have to be entirely altered, as a limited monat chy and a hereditary aristocracy were totally at vari acre with annual Pirliament,. Mr. CAMPBELL denied that the Electors of Stafford bad been bribed. Th.-y were as respectable a body, at any rate as the Electors of Preston.—(Laughter.) He though; with the Hun. Member for Colchester, that the clause in the Reform Bill, with reference to the payment of rat , s, would have a great tendency to increase bribery, which would not be put an end to by the Bill now upon the table, unless the clause he had ptoposed was added to it, namely, that all Alembe , s before taking their seats should make ao cath that they had not been guilty of bribery. Mr. O'CONNELL, in moving that the Petition should lie on the tilde, observed, that he should not enter into the gitarrel of the petitioner with the Hon. Member for Preston or himself, but he wished to know if the present Bill t , a.l gone up to the House of Lords with Universal Suffrage attached to it, the Hon. Member for Preston thought there would have been the least hopes of its suc. P,,at , hear.) The people of England have had a great boon granted to them by the Bill as it at present stood, and be (Mr. O'Connell) had no doubt they would duly appreciate it.—(Hear ) Mr. HUNT had no doubt if the same force had beeti used as had been applied to the passing of the present Bill in the House of Lords, to a Bill giving universal suffrage ? it, or any other Bill, would have passed. In his opinion, the vote by ballot tv,is the only means of preveniog bribery. INNS OF ° COURT. Mr. HARVEY said he had entered the House under the supposition that the debate on the motion which he brought forward yesterday, with respect to Inns of Court, would have been resumed to day, but as he found that was not the case, he should, if an occasion presented itself, revive the motion this evening; but if no opportunity offered, he should bring it forward on Thursday the 26th. Mr. O'CONNELL explained that the petition he pre. Rented last night from the Law Society of Dub!: n, was in favour of the Civil Bill, acrd nut against it, as had beep re; resented. Mr. VERNON presented a petition from Chester, iteainr. the Scotch and Irish Vagrants Bi.l. On the motion of Mr. PORTMAN, the Highways Bill was committed pro forma, ordered to be printerl, and the Report was ordered to he taken into consi deration that day three months. He hoped that the measure would he brought forward at a future time by the Secretary for the Home Department. It was highly ner ee.sary that those laws relating to highways should be eiirtensed, and improved. At present one magistrate r• iuld pass the accounts of a trust and there was no appeal. He trusted country gentlemen why knew these laws well would take them into their consideration, and so improve them as to give satisfaction both to the public and the surveyors. . EsTCOURT was glad that this course had been pursued, for there Was a geeat deal in the present Bill which would not at all work well ;n country pal ashes. Mr. J. WOOD was very sorry that the state of public business was such at the present advanced period of the se , ,sion, that as to prevent his Hon. Ft fend from going on with the Bill, which was well calculated to improve these Iws. The delay would be productive of one good—the mote the public c , nsider , rl the provisions of the Bill, the more they would he !i'atisfied. Mr. CAMPBELL moved the second reading of the General Registration Bill. He only meant that it should he connmittd pro forma, and lie would then move that the report be taken into consideration that day three months. Air. HERRIES hoped that no one would be considered as awing his sinction to the principle of the Bill, because noopp , ..ition was offered to it. The 811 was then read a second time, and ordered to he runniitted to-morrow. SUPPLY. Uri ALTHORP moved the order of the day for going into a Committee of Supply. Mr. O'CONNELL put a gne•tion to the Noble Lord relative to the compensation to be allowed • to Sir A. B. King fir the loss of his patent office. Lord ALTHORP said That the case bad been referred to two arbitrators icy the late Government, but Sir A. 13 King alledged th it he was not hound by their decision. 11. wished to ask the lion.

Mr. DAWSON wished to be allowed to present a peti tion from the city and county of Londonderry. praying that ;300/ should continue to be paid to the Governor of Derry, The petition was numerously signed by very respectab!e names. It further prayed that the tolls on the bridge over tl e Fowey might be continued. Mr. D. W. HARVEY was anxious to know whether any Honourable Member was anxious to open the debate which was ended so prematurely last night. He did not I . nsider that it requited one word from him, but be felt anxious on the subject on public grounds. Sir T. DENMAN said he considered it unnecessary ; fur his opinion was, that the Commissioners already had p iwer to inquire as far as the address of the Hen. Member went. In this opinion he wis confirmed by the opinion of the Learned Gentleman at the head of the Commission (..he Honourable 'Member for Huntingdon, and he had no doubt but that the result of last night's debate would be that they would so extend their inquiries, but the usual course was, that the Lord Chancellor should direct the Commis sion to do so, which no doubt wont 1 he now done. At all events, the wishes of the Hun, Member would be now c implied with. Mr. O'CONNELL wished to ask a question of very great importance. In Ireland the practice of a peremptory challenge of Juries was only allotted in cases of felony porsishab!e with death or transportation. He knew of no such • i.iinction in law, and he thought it was allowed by law in any case of felony whatever. Sir THOMAS DENMAN was unaware of any such distinction. In general terms he would say that. in his cyinion, there was distinction, and he agreed with th Hon. Member for Kerry, that in any case of felony the prisoner had the right of a peremptory challenge. Mr. O'CONNELL gave notice that on Friday next he would present a petition on the subj-ct. CHOLERA: Colonel SIBTHORP rose to move for the Returns re lating to to cholera in London, Westminster, and the Borough of Southurtrk, of which he had given notice. Mr P. THOMPSON saw no objection to the petitions heing laid upon the table. Sir R. PEEL said, that a great advantage would re sult from the Board of Health recurring to the daily reports of cases which they had lately issued. 31r. P. THOMSON said the returns of the Gallant Colonel opposite would extend to a general report of the 'lumber of cases that had happened in London. West minster, and Southwark, but would not go to a daily pub ! cation. Upon this subject he might state that although reports were current as to the prevalence in the metropolis of cholera, having made every inquiry into the subject, the accounts were greatly exaggerated. From the best infor rorticn which could be gathered it did not appear that there bad been more than from thirty to forty-eight cases occurring daily, while within the whole district of London and its neighbourhood the average number of t!eaths was from 20 to 30. If it were possible, in conse quence of the daily publication of accounts, to draw peo ple's attention advantageously , to the cholera, if care would thereby be taken, or any means furnished, which would tend to diminish its prevalence, undoubtedly it would be most desirable to furnish them ; but on the other hand great di-advantage might arise. The port of Lon don would at once be plan. d, in reference to a I the southern pats of Etoope, in quarantine. If any disease of that sort existed in the port of London, undoubtedly it would he improper to conceal it, but within the last four or five ays he had received an account, from which it appeared that not one single case of cholera had occurred in the hospital-ship, .tor in any part cot.tiguous to the port. It did nut appear that any real benefit would remit,: whilst numerous disadvantages would accrue from the publica tion of daily reports. If any Gentleman wished any in farmation on the subject, the board of Health would be most happy at all times to answer all all questions he was desirous to ask. (LEFT SITTING). HOUSE OF LORDS. The Marquis LONDONDERRY said that his ob ject in now rising was to ascertain the correctness of what be could hardly call a rumour, for it bad been admitted in another place, with respect to a treaty having been entered into between Russia, Fiance, ant England, for placing !I Prince of Bavaria on the throne of Greece, to whom this country was to guarantee a loan of sixty mil lions of francs. This Prince, it was also said, was to be escorted to Greece by 3,000 Bavarians. He thought it de sirable also that some iniormation should be given as to why Austria was no party to this arrangement. It should always be remembered that Austria was a more nada, al a ly of this country, than either France or Russia, for her inte rests did nut at all clash with ours. He thought the country weuld be much disaati.fied with any treaty by which this country would have to pay in addiiira to the Russian• Dutch Loan, a sum of three millions to gratify the Noble Earl's fancy of King making, for it must be recollected that this was the second throne the Noble Earl had ere, ted. Earl GREY said, that he as much regretted our inter ference in the affairs of Greece as the Noble Marquis ; but having found that interference begun, it was a duty on the part of England to see that a Government was established which would preserve the tranquillity of Europe. The rumour referred to by the No le Marquis was correct.— When the late Government proposed to establish Prince Leopold on the throne of Greece, a similar quarantine was agreed to, and now that it was proposed to place Prince Ocho on that throne, assistance must be given to the new Govet nment in the shape of a loans of 60 millions of francs, one-tt•ird of which each of the Powers guarantees; but he had no doubt, if tranquillity were restored to Greece, its revenues woul be amply sufficient to pay the interest and principal of the loan. Of course the treaty would be laid before Parliament, as it was necessary it should receive the sanction of Parliament. (LEFT SITTING.) IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF COMMONS, JULY 17. Mr. KNIGHT should not have spoken but for the tone assumed by the Hon. Baronet, a tone which was not at all warranted by the facts. It was quite clear thrq the motion must he amended ; and in order, then, to accom pis)) the end in view, a new Commission must be issued under the Great Seal. He denied that the power of the Benchers was capr cious, or that it had been tyrannically exercised. It belonged to the highest authorities of the law—men of rank and character, and under it the Bar had always flourished; and the most Learned Judges bad thence been drawn to dispense the law of the land. If a young man applied to be admitted a student, and was're fused at one Inn, he might resort to a second, to a third, and even to a fourth ; and if, after h rving remained the usual time a student, he wished to be called to tt:e Bar, and the privilege were refused, he had his remedy in an appeal to the fifteen Judges. Colonel EVANS rejoiced to find that there was now a prospect that the matter would be brought to a s itis factory conclusion. He gave his hearty support to the motion. Mr. HUNT hoped that ultimately a Bill wou!d be brought in to remedy the abuse, Its abuse it must be railed, when under it such men as Horne Tooke, Wooler, and Whittle Harvey had been rejected. Mr. GOULBURN contended, that a discretionary power ought to reside somewhere, and that it could not be placed in better hands than those of the Benchers of the different Inns of Cuurr. Mr. HARVEY, in reply, contended that it was a per fect anomaly for there to be a close and secret court of jurisdiction in England, to which the public had no ingress. It might do very well for gentlemen who were Benchers, and modestly sung their own praises, to say that there was a Court of Appeal to the Judges ; but the fact was, that in the instance which had been quoted, the Judges had dis tinctly refused to hear any witnt saes. The House then divided ; and there not being 40 Mem hers present, the Speaker declared it adjourned, at a Quar ter past Seven, to this day.

Yesterday this corps, so long distinguished in the poli tical struggles of the city of London, assemtded at the Eyre Arms Tavern, St. John's Wood, to celebrate their usual anniversary. Colonel CHARLES, the Commander, took the Chair. Soon after the first remove the Lord Mayor made his appearance, and was received with due honours—discharge of !he cannon of the Troop, &c. The LORD MAYOR, who took his seat on the right side of the Chairman, regretted exceedingly that severe illness had compelled him to submit to the advice of his medical attendants, and remain absent until that late hour. (Hi. Lsrdship looked exceedingly ill, and it was understood that he bad had a rather severe attack of cholera, which prevented his earlier attendance ) At this period we observed that there were present, besides the Lord Mayor, Mr. Tennyson, M.P., Alderman Venable., Mr. Gro , e, Mr. Prescott, Mr. Serjeant Span. kie, Messrs. Galloway, Pearson, &c., of the Common Council. The cl►►th being removed, the CHAIRMAN, and Colonel of the corps, proposed the health of the King, which was drunk with great enthusiasm, while at the same time the cannon of the Troop di-charged a Royal salute. Just at this time Mr. Hume, who had previously sent an apology for not being able to attend the dinner, en tered the room, accompanied by Col. Ev.ips, M.P., and was much cheered. The healths of the Queen, and the rest of the Royal Family, were then drunk, with some disapprobation towards the first part of the toast. The CHAIRMAN next proposed the health of the Lord Mayor, which was drunk with much applausz. The Loan MAYon, after a few remarks, proposed the heal h of the Chairman, Colonel Charles, of the Hon. Corps of the Lumber Troop. The CHAIRMAN returned thanks, and concluded with a hope that the " dear creatures" who were then super intending their proceedings (the ladies in the gallery), should not be detained much longer by ►ong speeches from enjoying the delights of the ball that was prei ared for them. Alderman VENA BLYS most cordially joined in this wish of the Chairman. Business, however, must be attended to, and he wouM therefore propose the Right Hon. Charles Tennyson to become a member of the Honourable and Ancient Lumber Troop.—(Cheers.) The LORD MAYOR seconded the proposal, and Mr. Tennyson was admitted a member. Sir S,muel Whalley and Mr. Sarjeant Spankie were also admitted amongst them as brother soldiers. Mr. GROTE, the Banker, after pronouncing a high eulogium on the public and private worth of Joseph Hu tie, Esq., M.P., propostd that gentleman as a Member of the Honourable Corps of the Lumber Troop. Alderman VENARLES seconded this proposition, and Mr. Flume was admitted a tneinb:q. Mr. GALLOWAY proposed the health, of Earl Grey and the rest of his Majesty's Ministers.—(Cheers.). The toast was drunk with loud applause. Mr. Hume's health was then drunk with three times three, and the most enthusiastic applause. Mr. HUME shortly returned thanks. Half a dozen persons of stentorian lungs, now addressed themselves to the company, standing on the tables in a state of effervescence that produced as likely a scene to lead to a general explosion amongst the whole corps as any militaty catastrophe that the anna's of war have recorded, and as we found apples, oranges, &c., beginning to fly about our ears we took our departure while we were safe, lest the glasses and decanters should fiLow next. The House of Commons last night presented an appalling display of " empty benches." Except on the front Opposition bench, all had liwn, except Mr. HUME ; arid when Mr. HARVEY was alluding to some one (Mr. O'CoNNELL, we believe ), be spoke of one who had just been " eoiiipelled" to withdraw! The House was be sprinkled every quarter of an hour with c hl or i de of lime. Men are engaged spreading it about with watering- pots. — What a time tor debates! Last week, MARY, the wife of JOHN F OSTER , a police officer, living in C umbeiland. st re•et, Li verpoo l, while in pursuit of a cat , winch she intendA to shoot with one of her busblll , l l B pistols for attempted deprerktion in a birdcage, actually shot Mrs. FanstrroN, a v i,i ter, who uas only a yard distant from her. The ball passed through Mrs. FaaairroN's body, wlio!xpired almo s t i mme di ate l y . Mrs, Powell. was at the time intoxicated, THE KING'S LEVEE. Ifs Majesty arrived in town about half-past one o'clock yesterday from Windsor in his travelling carriage, attended by Lord Clinton, and escorted by a party of Light Horse. Th. Kind was received by his Royal relatives the. Duke and Duchess of Cumberland, the Princess Sophia, and the Duke of Gloucester.

BIRTH OF CHAUCER.— A large party of gentlemen sat down to dinner at the Talbot inn, Borough, to commemorate the natal day of the venerable CHAUCER. It may not be generally known that this inn is the ancient tabard where that poet makes his pilgrims assemble, pre vious to the journey to Canterbury. A period of 432 years has elapsed since the death of CHAUCER ; this locality has always preserved its distinction. After the usual toasts, which were drunk with every demonstration of loyalty, Mr. INNEs proposed a toast is memory of the lather of our literature. After copiously expatiating on this subject, he proposed the memory of the father of Eng lish poetry, the venerable GEOFREY CHAUCER. In the course of the evening, the illustrious poeticals of the United Kingdom and of France were drunk, also the memory of SHAKSPEARE, BURNS, and Was. CAXTON, A horrible murder was committed a few days ago in the neighbourhood of V►tre. The Mayor of Tarce, about 70 years of age, accompanied by his ne phew, was on his way home, when he was accosted by two refractory conscripts. The Mayor having recommended them to submit, they rushed upon him, snatched from his nep h e w a gun which he had in his hand, and firing upon him, laid him dead at their feet. They tt,en beat the Mayor with the but-end of the gun in a most barbarous mat ner, and left him for dead. After the departure of the assassins he so far recovered his strength as to be able to make his way to Vitre. Although in a deplorable state, hopes ate entertained of his recovery.—French Paper. A BARGAIN.—On Thursday se'nnight, at Writtle, during the sale of the late Mrs. SAUNDERS'S tur niture, by Mr. BAKER, a bureau was about to be knocked down at less thin twenty shillings, when at the instant a secret drawer was discovered, which proved to contain bank•notts to the amount of thirty pounds and fifteen sovereigns. ARRIVAL IN ALEXANDRIA OF ABDAT.- LAH EX-PACHA OF ACRE, AND INTERVIEW OF THE SAME WITH MEHMET ALI, VICEROY OF EGYPT. (Translated from the Italian, printed at Alexandria.) Whilst Egypt. exulting with joy on the first announce ment of the fall of Acre, taken by assault, and of the sur render of Ahdallah Pacha into the hands of his conqueror, awaited with anxiety the details of the memorable exploit of the 27th of May, on the 2d of June following suddenly appeared in view of Alexandria. a vessel of war belonging to his Highness the Viceroy, making on its near approach signals, announcing the arrival of a person of distinction, and firing successive salutes ; a boat was immediately de spatched towards her, in order to learn the cause of her appearance. His Highness the Viceroy happened to be at the naval ar.enal, and a rumour having gone forth that the vessel in que.tion was bearing to Alexandria the valourous ex Pacha of Acre, Cie eyes and attention of the whole city were soon directed towards it. The return of the hoat despatched could, however, alone render certain this re port, for many reasons justified a conjecture, that the man-of war would bring hack a messenger, despatched from Acre contemporaneously with the courier who an nouncA the fall of Acre. A communication having taken place with the comman der of the vessel, and it having been understood that the above-named illustrious personage was on hoard, the mes senger speedily returned, and directing himself to the na val arsenal, where his Highness still remained, made known the result of his mis ion. The Viceroy, on inquiring as to the state of mind of Abdallah, and learning that his inquietude, from ignorance of the tvell known magnani mity of the Viceroy, was very great, immediately ordered out his own barge for the reception of his prisomer, desir ing that the sam', together with his son Kinhia, should be conducted to the Vice-regal Palace, whither he imme diately directed his steps. Scarcely arrived here, he despatched in the same barge which he him , elf hail just left, Kengi Osman, Paymaster- General of the Navy, a person wrll known to Abdallah, to meet the same, and offer him every condolence and assur.• ance of generous treatment from himself. Then passing to his divan, and occupying his usual seat in it, his features appeared clouded by sadness, pro ceeding from sentiments of compassion. He remained about a quarter of an hour without speaking, and on finally breaking silence observed, " lam told that Ab dallah is overcome with great anxiety, but I wish to alle viate his situ ain't, and, allowing for once only an infrac tion of the rigours of quarantine, I desire that this gue't be at once admitted to pratique, in order that his mind may be speedily tranquillized." The arrival of Ahdallah Pacha was announced by the firing of salutes, and crowds of curious flocked to see him. Many distinguished personages of the Court also awaited his approach. On arriving at sunset, he and his Kiaja stepped ashore, and were complimented by many officers. The procession then advanced slowly towards the palace, Abdallah look ing down, and appearing greatly afflicted. His stature is ordinary, and he is somewhat thin, his beard acanty, his eyes sparkling, and his countenance haughty. His age may he about thirty-five years. He wore a long dress of blue cloth, resembling a cloak, and covering his other garments in the European style, as is much worn in Con stantinople by military men. His hand was negligently enveloped in a Cashmir shawl. After ascending the steps of the Palace, and passing through the grand saloon, where were c9llected a large concourse of spectators, Abdallah approached the audi ence chamber, where the Viceroy was seated. The apart ments were magnificently illuminated. On AbdAllah's entering the chamber, Mehmet Ali arose, and regarded hint with a smiling countenance, as if encouraging him to approach. Ahdallah did so, and, inclining his head, threw himself at the Viceroy's feet, kissing the hem of his garment. Then, with a melancholy voice, and scarcely refraining from team, he exclaimed,—" Pardon, pardon my error., and since Heaven has rendered you a Monarch in mind, pardon as Monarch, and not as Viair." Mehmet Ali extended his hand, and, lifting him up, made him sit on his own divan. In complying with this request, Ahdallah placed himself aside the Viceroy, the latter comforting him with kind expressions, and assuring him that without retaining the least rancour, and forget ting the past, he should henceforth regard him as a son. He also obliged the Kiaja to be seated, and hiving caused coffee to be served, presented a pipe to Abdallab, obliging him, malgre lei, to accept it. This pathetic scene having terminated, the Viceroy mo tioned all other spectators to retire, and remained in pri. vate conference with Abdallab and the Kiaja, during the s.,ace of half an hour. Apartments were provided for Abdallaa in a neighbouring palace to the Viceroy's, who invited the former to take some repose, and to return to him on every succeeding day. Ahdallah retired with a serene countenance, accompa nied by a suite of courtiers, and on descending the stairs mounted a horse provided by the Viceroy. On inquiring whether the kerne belonged to Mehmet Ali, and finding such to be the case, he embraced the saddle, and directed himself towards the apartments assigned for him, ac companied by many officers on foot, serving as his guard of honour. The Viceroy presented Abdallah with a beautiful snuff• box set with brilliants and with another enamelled. He also gave him a sabre mounted in gold. Orders were also given to prepare, at Cairo, a palace fur the family of the ex-Pacha. D:aing the above scene, Alehruet Ali dis played the many generous sentiments and feelings of his great heart. Clemency is the finest attribute of Sove reigns, and Alehmet possesses to a great extent this virtue, which, joined to his other eminent qualities, will render his name immortal in the annals of history. Alexandria, June 5. THIRD BULLETIN OF THE ARMY OF SYRIA• 9th of the Moon Mouharrem, 1248 (June 7, 1832.) During the last six months, a body of the Egyptian army in Syria had been intrusted with the siege of St. Jean d'Acre. The Commander-in-Chief, his Highness Ibrthim Pacha, at length resolved to put an end to it by a general assault on the place; and on the 26th Zilbridje (26th May) called around him the General Officers, Colo nels, and Field-officers conducting the siege, prescribing the following dispositions : The Brigadier-General Ahmid Bey was directed to throw himsslf with the Ist battalion of the 2d regiment of Infantry, accompanied by the Colonel of the same, into the breach of the tower, named Kapow-Bourdjou. The 2d battalion, commanded by the Lieutenant-Colonel, was ordered to march on the second breach, opened opposite Nebi•Saleh ; and the 3d battalion, under Omer Bey, on the breach of Zavie. The fourth battalion of this regiment was commissioned to hold itself in readiness beneath the first breach for rendering assistance, if necessary. A batallion of the 10th regiment, headed by its Colonel, received the sante instructions with regard to the third breach above-men- tioned. Finally, another battalion of this regiment was destined to transport ladders, at about one hour after mid niv.ht, to the breach opened , ne ir the tower, called Kerim- Bourdjou, with orders to await the hour of assault. Par ticular instructions were further given by the Commander in-Chief to each individual Officer. During the night, the batteries opened fire on the place, and on the morning of the 27th, shortly after sun-rise, the Commander-in-Chief gave orders for the assault. The troeps directed on the Zavie breach immediately took pos sion of an intrenchment, in which they established them selves. The detachment destined for the breach of Kapow- Bourdjou, having experienced some resistance from the be sieged, showed symptoms of hesitation, appearing for an instant to draw back. The Commander-in-Chief, on per ceiving it, drew his sabre, and threatening vengeance on such as should retreat, he pushed on the soldiers, making them take their posts in the breach. The lino of rein forcement joined them, and whilst one party repulsed the enemy, another constructed an entrenchment. The breach opened opposite Nebi-Saleh was carried by our soldiers, and occupied by them, whilst they took possession of the guns and mortars on the ramparts. During this interval (a space of an hour and a half) the besieged, amounting to about 2,000 persons, rushed thrice on the intrenchment raised in the Kapow Bourtljou breach, but were as frequently repulsed. The same occurred within the Zavie breach. The firing of musketry and cannon continued on both sides several hours longer, when, at 4 p. nn., the ba ttalion of the 10th Regiment, established in t he latter branch, quitting its intrenchment, charged so vi g orously on the enemy, as to oblige their offering to surrender. The firin g then ceased, and a deputation comp osed of a few artiller y officers, head e d by the Mufti and ' man of Abdallah Rich r, issued from th e place of refuge occupied by the vanquish e d, and and walked towards the Comm ander , throwing it se l I at his feet, and imploring clemency. The Commander -in_ Chief immediately pardoned them, guaranteeing the safety of their lives and property, without even requiring thei, were stationed sta Half tion ed an in hour he later it y arms. The life alone of.Abdallah Paella was spar e d, an d tc soon after sunset, he was visited b y the Bri gadier-General Selim Bey. At midni g ht, Abdallah Pac ha , with his Kiahia, were condu cted to the Comman der . in.Chief, wh, , treated the former with g r ea t affability, receiving him with proceeded in company, and on h orse b ac k , to the palace. which is without the city, wh ere t h ey passed the night. th e Such m same f h oU n r °u tr r o l o a p s s asa V ivirsr t'lemselves up to a few disorders inseparable from the t king of a city by sttirtn. A few effects were pillaged , but MI the following morning restored to their rightful' owners. Abdallah Pacha, having expressed a &sire to proceed to Eevpt, has been sent to Caifa, accompanied by the Bri goiier-General Selim 13.1, and, on the 29th ZilbridgJ e (29th May), he embarked on board the Joletta- Chahbag Dji had, which 'entered the port of Alexandria on the 3 d Mouharrem (June 2). On his Highness the ViceroY being informed of his arrival, he sent out his own barge, an d , Kahredji Bachi, to receive hi m . Abd a ll a h Pacha, and his Kiahia, and two or three of his followers, imme diately proceeded in the same order towards land, and to his Highness, who condescended to afford him a reception. conformable to his rank as Vizir, and to forgive his offences. Out of consideration for his rank, he has been exempted from quarantine. His lodgings are near the Palace of his Highness, in that generally reserved for foreigners. NUMBER OP KILLED AND WOUNDED.

Gent; induced me to re-peruse ,, his " Fragment on the balance of power in Europe, which he published a few months aft,r the battle of Aus terlitz. That work exhibits Get many as she had, in con sequence of her ancient divisions, fallen under the yoke of Napoleon. Gentz then argued with talent and energy for the union and unity of his unfortunate country, 'whose sa cred cause he afterwards abandoned when he became the instrument of Austrian diplomacy, and gave himself com pletely up to Prince Metternich and the Cabinet of Vienna• It is well known that in the memorable struggle e f 1813 and 1814, Austria and Prussia were rescued from the yoke of France by the valour and fidelity of the Ger m in% and it is equally well known that the promises which the Sovereigns, at the moment of danger, made to the people were never realized. The political state of Germany has since undergone no important change. There still exist the same disunion, the same want of solid links to connect the common interests of all the members of the Confederacy, and the same imperfection in the most essential institutions, as well as in the political organization of the whole. In a new European commotion, which must sooner or latter occur, the enemy will find Germany as disunited, and ee incapable of a vigorous resistance, as she was in the eras of Louis XIV., and Napoleon. Neither the act of Confederation, signed in 1815 at the Congress of Vienna, nor the Diet of Frankfort, have yet satisfied the resl wants of Germany. In like manner the new determina tions which have resulted from the long negotiations of the Cabinets of Vienna and Berlin, and which Count Munch Bellinghausen, the Austrian Minister and Presi dent of the Diet, has just brought to Frankfort, are as little capable as were the famous Carlsbad resolutions to check the progress of politial liberty in Germany. Hoe ever, we may be certain that the Diet of Frankfort will not fail soon to exhibit the new fetters which the German Sovereigns, and chiefly the Emperor of Austria and the King of Prussia, wish to impose to repress free discussion, prevent the publicity of the sittings of representative as semblies, and to put down altogether the liberty of the pres., of which they are the declared adversaries. At this critical moment I consider it useful to submit to public opinion the following address of Gentz to the Germans, on the situation of Germany in 1806, as that situation re mains still much the same. S. "ADDRESS BY GENTZ TO THE GERMANS; WRITTEN IN 1806, AFTER THE BATTLE OF AUSTERLITZ. " Must it be formally demonstrated, that every member of a state, however insignificant he rcay be, has, besides the common wants of life, other desires of a higher nature, among which national honour, a respected name, an inde pendent constitution, a fixed and well assured interest in the political system of his country, hold a principal place? These truths must be felt, and those who are insensible to them, can never be convinced of them by argument• When a people or a generation is so far degraded by ego' tram, and by a low and contracted manner of thinking, as to have lost all sense of public interest, as to weigh the value of independent existence in the same balance witb th- commonest benefits, and to view the loss of liberty and honour as an event of indifference, then it is no longer time to appeal to noble feeling—slavery is complete before the oppre•sor has appeared. " The Governments have exposed themselves to much well merited censure. But one bright prospect still re' mains, and this, which is a mighty consolation, no malice of fate can darken. The brave, the upright, and the good, however small their number may be, must remain steadfast and inseparable—must mutually instruct, admo nish, bear wiih, support, and inspirit bne another. A league between them is the only power—the only invinci' ble coalition—which can restore liberty to the nation and repose to the world. " Ye, who, in the wreck of time, live in the midst Of desolation, who have saved the first and most precious of all goods—a free, enlightened mind, an honest and sen si.• h'e heart, and affection for the sacred relics of humanity , and who have courage to sacrifice every thing for these—" ye proved and valiant heroes of the age, who in mind and in truth have been always victorious—ye, to whom these words are particularly addressed—ye are the distinguished ornaments of your country. He who hash selected you to reconcile posterity with the present generation, has doomed you to the hardest troubles and moat fiery trials. Where' ever you turn your eyes, you are surrounded with disco'!" ragement. Our country is depressed and profaned ; part of its Princes openly and avowedly bear the yoke of a foreign power. The energies of our great nation are scattered, divided, turned aside into feeble rills, or into corrupt and stagnant pools, or into exhausting drains, and lost for every national object. Property honestly se' quired vanishes or migrates, industry is sick and crippled. Your lamentations are vainly spent in the air, your de:. scription of your ruin is considered at best as matter 0 ' idle amusement or • literary curiosity. Even where you are still permitted to disturb the slumbers of those nth° are at the head of the Governments, they think they do great deal if they tolerate you as tiresome friends or well meaning enthusiasts ; the greater part listen to you with uneasy feelings, nay, even with fear ; and the moment is visibly approaching, when a long and gloomy silence Wi ll be the law of your social existence, and the hard but ins perious condition of your personal liberty. " As long as you remain upright, nothing is sacrificed which may nut be reinstated. Even the grave opens, a °4 death is only apparent when the vital principle still exist s in the heart. " Never forget that Germany is the true central poin t of all the movements, by means of which the Conti nent of Europe, sooner or later, must be delivered from servitude. The arbitrary code of laws to which it is 4t present subject, torn to pieces, the imposing edifice ° r temporary power thrown down, and a new and immortal compact formed between liberty, order, and peace, for rill s happiness of future times—neither England nor France can accomplish this. The proper work of- liberation must be accomplished on German soil. Germany ha° been the cause of Europe's fall ; Germany must resc ue , her from her state o! ruin. Not all the energies or arts of France—not even that wil d conv ulsive force, which sprung like a tempestuous c loud from the poisoned abre, of the revolution —not the p erso nal prowess or dexterity ol any actor in that revolution —could have heaved the world from its centre. Through the defencelessness of Germany alone has this been accomplished. Our unhappy e ternal discords, the division of our force, the mutual jealousY °, our princes , the want of unison f or t h e common inter° . -- of the nation , these h ave b een the spoilers, these the d es troyers of our liberty, t h ese have been our mortal ear m ales, oaks, and the en em i es of ' the peace of Europe. I f unite—if we forg e t our family feuds—if in the hour ° danger, in th e h our of general pressure, we can resolve t" „ be Germans, we s h all thus defy every assault ; ne ver , wi Il a foot's b rea d th of German territory becom e prey to an i nsolent stranger—never will the mo , t d id ' t off f rom tent memb er o f t h e great European system b e stole"' its compact and vigorous body—nay rof e t : we shall h ave t h e cred i t o f restor i ng France, wh'e has been so deeply convulsed, and which still re-. mains i n a distempered condition, to a state of true Oa,. hopef u l conv alescence, (for who can compare its pres et ' situation to a state of health !) and of conducting it I° a tranquil and harmonious existence, and a happy recon . c . l" liation with itself; a measure, which, if performed wisdom, would establish and protect for centuries to 07 the c ons tit u ti on o f Europe, in the whole and in each its p " In a state of division we have been subjected, in 3 state of union we must rise from subjection.
