The walls, however, were not d down.

There 'en towers still standing, most of which are up• of 100 feet in height, and one or two of them, 1411 y the great donjon, nearly double chat elevation. °C the last 200 y e ars, it is probable that no human 11 hg has enjoyed the commanding prospec t from the to p Le donjon tower, ba nothing remained of it but the tad Walls, without any vestige of a staircase. In corn ,inulebt to the occasion which has brought the Court to Piegne, the King has caused a commodious staircase _ . erected for the enjoyment of the view, and tents have Pitch e d on the lawn below, for the entertainment of s ,"lpany at a rural fete, which he caused t o b e p re p are d 'nets. The day would have been a delightful one, for th e excessive beat of the weather, which was past durance, aud te suden dh of Col. uh of the all Cui en rassiers, two da h ys befor d e, in ea co t nsequence eat ing an ice on returning from the review, made eontpsny exceedingly abstemious in the use of those " r ies which his Majesty's munificence had prepared for !tti. 44 th e print shops this afternoon, I see an excellent li "'Ph, after a design of Devetin, representing the een of the Belgians and her two sisters, the whole the three figures being remarkably like the fair ori -4-I'. The young Queen and the Prioress Marie are t ed on a sofa engaged in conversation, and the youneer, , i nentina, leaning over it, in that playful style which ;her i s so natural and so graceful. If I do not greatly l'italte, this young lady will hereafter evince more ch.i c4r than any other member of the family.

There was I° 4 fancy fair, to add variety to the scene. The Russian br ti Band were engaged, and played many of their na lrl and o th er mus i cal pieces. In other parts o f t h e dens two bands were stationed to give life and gaiety 0 the vi s i ters. Among other novelties prepared for the 44 sion was the skeb-ton of a cameleopard. Some time i t to the proprietor obtain.d one of these beautiful animals. ewas shipp e d f or England, but during a heavy gale off Cape was se much injured that it died soon afterwards. the skeleton of thi s fine young animal has been articu d with great skill, and forms a prominent object of at lion. Notwithstanding the clouded and rainy state of e Weather e ar ly i n t h e day, the company began to pour F ) abo u t noon, and before the close of the day between 00 0 and 11,000 persons visited the gardens. A balloon as let o ff during the afternoon, and Ramo Samee, the ggler, di sp l ayed his abilities as a juggler, on a stage la eeted for him. The (ete and fair is to be continued this i '• In th e enven i ng a splendid illum i na . ed star was I deed in the front of the manor house, and many of the °"es in the neighbourhood were lighted up, some a de monstration of respect to Mr. C OSP, for Ie g r eat exertions i n establishing, zoological gardens in rr eY, and o th ers to celebrate the passing of the Reform 'II. In the London-road, the New Cut, and other places, niters were floating in all directions, and many persons ho bad provided themselves with lamps, transparencies, •2 exhibited them on the triumph of Reform. `RAND JUBILEE OF THE METROPO LITAN NATIONAL POLITICAL UNION. the Yesterday being appointed for the grand celebration of the Pu'ing of th e th ree R e f or m Bills, with th e fi n i s hi ng of legislation appended to them—the Royal assent-- the Eyrs Arms, St. John's Wood, the site of the triurn -obn:it revelry, was at an early hour of the day a scene of tttraordinary bus'le, and the road more than ordinarily a thoroughfare, and by three o'clock—the dinner hour—in the spacious room of the tavern, which had the accession of lorne approp r i ate d ecorations, there were seate d upwar d s ?f 400 persons ; in other two auxiliy rooms were guests to a somewhere corresponding numb ar r—so that we would estimate the company altogether that dined at about 800. kl ie Joseph H ume , E sq., M.P., about half-past three was ntred to th e Ch a i r, under escort of the Stewards, and iillowing in his train we observed Sir John Doyle, D.

Mr. HUlktr, when the cloth was removed, after begging s , - f the company to support him in the chair, by preset jag order, stated he was about to di sc h arge hi s d u t y b y swi mming the toasts which the Stewards had put into Ilia hands. The toast he had to propose was, " The So l'eleigutY of the People."—(lmmense applause.)

He would conclude with the toast, The Majesty of the people."—(Drunk with three times three, and great applause.) Tune—" Rule Britannia." The CHAIRMAN then proposed, " The King." There was great dissatisfaction manifested by a vast Proportion of the company, but the toast was drunk !midst a babel -like confusion, denuded really of honours, and then the band resumed, 66 Rule Britannia." The Coasßatast next gave, " The greatest happiness to the greatest number." Mr. DETROSIEB., after a speech of great length, couched in the strongest language, and boldly attacking men and 'eeasures, enforcing the utility of Unions at home, and e xpressing a hop e for their extension abroad throughout Europe, proposed as a toast, " The Unions of the ems Pine of Britain."

Mr. RuTti, the eldest Reformer present, who 50 years la te had a d vocate d t h e cause o f R e f orm b y t h e s id e o f t h e 'lite Major Cartwright, in a neat and impressive speech Proposed as a toast, " The Liberty of the Press." The Rev. Mr. Fox remarked, in the course of a bril lia nt sp eec h , t h e toast he was about to propose was one nethat encompassed a feeling he had sucked with his mo ther's milk, and which he would sip with the last drop of Water that might moisten his mouth when dying. " The ''tension of civil and religious liberty throughout the World." Mr. Aluarny most strenuously called upon the people he England to stand by the people of Ireland, who had not lea so well provided for by the Reform Bill as the peo "of England. They had shown the example to this Nrnt r y to get rid of political oppression, and they were & bout to show an example to them to get rid of another ° Ppres s i ou, the Church. In the last twenty years 2,0 00 persons had lost their lives in the gathering of ii)!l'ss, but th e y would relieve themselves.

Mr. LAWLESS, in a speech breathing similar sentiments 1 7ith the two preceding speakers, proposed as a toast— Poland." Two patriotic Polish exiles appeared on the table to retu rn thanks. They were received with demonstrations of enthusiasm, and one of them in good English returned thanks in an elegant speech. Sir J. DOYLE got up to give " The rising spirit of ' , be l l y i n P ortuga l, S pa i n, and Italy. " He made - a long Ptech' and urged the duty of E ng li s h men to support Don Pedro. br.

AUGUST 14, 1832. His MAJESTY Will arrive in town to-morrow, at St. James's Palace, for the purpose of hold ing a Levee. In the House of Lords last night the Forgery Bill went through Committee, when two clauses, to the effect that the punishment of death should be continued in the case of forging wills and powers of attorney, and that Judges should be compelled to award transportation for life in cases of conviction for forgery, allowing culprits the usual appeal to the Crown, were agreed to. The last clause was proposed by Lord WYN FORD, who is a sturdy stickler for all sorts of ancient abuses, and was of opinion that the " having the gallows in perspective was a great prevention of crime." Experience proves quite the reverse of this proposition, but his Lord ship's sagacity has not yet been able to detect the fact. He can perceive nothing but what accords with his own views of a question. The Greek Convention Bill was read a se cond time in the House of Lords last night, and ordered to be committed to-day. Earl GREY observed, in allusion to the choice of Prince OTIIO, that " objections had been made to this choice, and undoubtedly it was liable to some, such as the minority of the Prince and the difference of his religious faith, but he believed it was the only choice at last left to the Allied Powers, for they did not know any Prince who could be induced to take the Crown, to whom there would not be equal, if not superior objections." From this, it should seem, that the selection of Prince OTIIO is at best but a sort of Hobson's choice, which, however, we hope and expect will turn out well for both parties—for the Monarch as well as for his Greek subjects. The Duke of WELLINGTON expressed himself opposed to that part of the arrangement which regarded an extension of the Greek frontier ; but Earl GREY satisfactorily replied, that his Grace's objection might have been applicable to the state of affairs previous to the severance of the Greek pro vinces from the dominion of Turkey, but that severance having taken place, it was expedient to remove as far possible the chances of colli sion, and with this view, a frontier had been provided less exposed to danger of the kind, than that laid down in the original arrangement. The people are just now busily engaged eating and drinking with more than usual earnestness and sincerity, in order to show the sense they entertain of their late triumph. By the country papers we find that merry-making is everywhere the order of the day. In a short time, however, this zealous display of national satisfaction will wear itself out, and then the people, we trust, will turn, with heart and soul, to more important matters,--to the business part of Reform. The opportunity of amending their condition is now afforded them ; they have got the word to march ; and it remains with them, whether they will avail themselves of this opportunity, and press briskly on to the goal, or stand stock-still, ju s t as if they were stupified with their unexpected gleam of good fortune. Reform, they cannot be too often or too zealously reminded, will of itself do nothing. It will neither put a fowl into their pots, nor a guinea into their pockets. It is, strictly speaking, nothing more than a means to an end, which means the people must them selves turn to account if they desire to ensure the end. Cheap Government—a reduction of taxa tion — an overthrow of vexatious monopolies — an improved principle of trade, foreign and domestic;—all these blessings are within the people's reach ;—Reform accords them the right and the power to obtain them all, but this not without great and even herculean exertions. What, therefore, we are most earnestly desirous to see on the part of the people, is, an alacrity to qualify themselves to vote—a fixed, moral de termination to return none but staunch Re formers to Parliament. Notwithstanding the Bill, many headstrong Tories will contrive to wriggle themselves into the next House ; the di visions of the counties is a loop-hole through which dozens of them will be able to creep ; so that it is rigidly incumbent on the people to strive their utmost to counteract the mischievous machinations of such men, by returning as many stern, long-headed, inquisitive Reformers as they can lay hands on. In fact, Ay must keep their whole attention fixed on the approaching elections, and, above all, lose not a moment— as we are sorry to learn they seem inclined to do in some places—in qualifying themselves to dis charge the important duty of electors. The German Papers contain two articles of ominous import to Switzerland and the SUB LIME PORTE. If we may credit the article under the head of Prussia, the labours of Prince METTERNICH are not to terminate with the Frankfort Edicts. He seems to take it for granted that the tranquillity of Germany is now secured by the resolutions of the Diet, and that he will have ample time to turn his attention to die situation of Switzerland. The principal point is said to be to adapt the ancient constitutions of the Helvetic Republic to the 'wants of our times, and to put an end to the many dissensions which now threaten the tranquillity of the several cantons. From this intimation, it is quite evident that the Frankfort decrees, which are said by their framers to have secured the internal tranquillity of Germany, are to be put into operation in Switzerland ; and, in order to make their application the more palatable, a very interesting memorial is said to have been drawn up by the English Cabinet with reference to the subject ! This, if true, is the most gra tuitous insult which Prince METTERNICH could have given to our national character ; but, as it is not true, we may treat it with the contempt which it deserves. The news from Constantinople savours of despondency. The success of the Egyptians fills the Porte with consternation ; and great appre hensions are entertained, should the army sent to check the conqueror be defeated. In that event the Pacha of Egypt would at once set up as a King on his own account STUTOARD, AUG. s.—The Standing Committee of the Assembly of the States resolved in its yesterday's sitting, tl,at its present opinions, that the resolutions of the German Diet of the 28th June do not mis-state the constitution of Wirtemburg, shall be submitted to the examination of those assemblies of the Committee who are now (in their terms) absent, but who are to be summoned to meet for this purpose on the 14th August. PRUSSIA. JULY 30.—Now th it the internal tranquil lity of Germany appears to b-a secured by the resolutions of the Diet, the great Powers, it is said, hare resolved to direct their attention to Switzerland, and to take into con sideration the situation of that country, whose geographi cal position renders the maintenance and consolidation of tranquillity there so important to the European States. Conferences are to be held for this purpose. The prin cipal point will be to adapt the ancient constitutions which have so long secured the happiness of the inhabitants of the Alps, to the wants of our times, and to put an end to the many dissentions by which the tranquillity of Switzerland is now threatened. We hear of a very interesting memorial, which the English Cabi net has caused to be drawn up, relative to all the relations and connections of the European Powers with Switzer. land, and which will probably serve as a basis to the in tended discussions. The Five Great Courts, it is add, d, will immediately appoint Plenipotentiaries, who will de vote themselves exclusively to the affairs of Switzerland. It must be presumed, from this, that at least a part of the Members of the Swiss Confederation wishes for the co operation of the Powers in maintaining internal tranquil lity, and has claimed the guarantee which was given to Switzerland in 1814, for the preservation of its neutrality and internal Constitution. These negociationa must be of great importance, not only to Switzerland, but to the rest of Europe, as they will lead a step nearer to the return of permanent order. CONSTANTINOPLE, JULY 16.—The Porte is in great consternation : the accounts from Syria are very unfa vourable; the Egyptians have made great progress since the fall of Acre, and Damascus is already in their hands. It may be seen what a catastrophe awaits us should the army sent against them be defeated, or even be obliged to retreat; and Ibrahim knows how to profit by his victories. All would press on the Sultan; the hatred of the old party of the Janissaries would revive, and burst out into open violence. It is now said that an envoy will be sent to Alex andria with letters of recommendation from the French Charge d'Affiires here to Jusauf Paella, the confidential adviser of Mehemed Ali in order to negociate. Little good can be expected from this, if fortune continues to favour the Egyptians. It is but justice to them to say, that they learn the European tactics much better than the Turks, that they fight bravely, and observe strict dis cipline, by which they have gained the confidence of the inhabitants of Syria, who consider them rather as protec tors than enemies ; whereas the Turkish soldiers are al. most undisciplined, and treat friends and enemies with equal rigour. As many troops as possible are col lected and sent to Asia to proceed by forced thatches to the theatre of war. Warlike stores are embarked in transports for the army. We are really i n a l amenta b le con di t i on ; f or t h ese twe l ve years we have had no tranquillity, and the efforts that the country must make are immense. Few countries in Europe could snake th e sacr i f i ces that we have done in the above period ; but now we are qu i te exhausted, and the moment seems to be cotne when the will of the Government will be defeated 1.?3 , the impossibility of going on. It is thought that the Poi to will resort to an army of all able to bear arms. The Sultan, however, will do well to considei before he takes such a step ; the misery of the people is so great that we might fear every thing from such rude undisciplined bands, that think only of plunder, and can do nothing against troops accustomed to discipline and obedience. The mo ment is, perhaps, come when the Porte would accept the offer of a loan, but who would trust his money to the Go vernment circumstanced as it now is, with its finances ad ministered in the most wretched manner ?

The marriages of the 16 young women of Paris and the banlieue, to whom dowries have been given by the KING in honour of the nuptials of the Princess Louise, were yesterday celebrated in their respective parish churches with all due form. Upon the same occa sion a distribution of provisions to the poor was made at the mayories of the different arrondissements. The Senate of the United States have re jected the award of the King of the NETHERLANDS rela tive to the north-eastern boundary of Canada. Many of our readers will regret, though probably not be surprised, to hear that Messrs. BIRKRtiCK and FLOWER, who some years since emigrated to the back settlements of America, and who after their arrival repre sented the country as at once a paradise and an Eldorado, failed entirely in their speculation. Both these gentlemen are now dead ; their property has entirely passed into other hands ; and the members of their family who still remain in the country are in a state of comparative indi gence. A dispute having arisen in a coffee-house at Aix, between M. MEirritEn, who has distinguished him self as a political writer, and a young man named Ca a- BoNNEL, a meeting took place in the afternoon of the 31st ult. M.

Henry Marchant, a frizeur, and a warehouseman in the East India Compiny's service, living in Great Sr. Andrew-street, Seven-dials, and Mr. Peck, a respectable inhabitant of that street, were charged before Mr. ROE, the Magistrate, with creating a breach of the peace last night, by firing off guns and pistols in the public stree►, in•cnmmemoration of the passing of the Reform Bills. Each defendant said, he was actuated by a wish to show his patriotism towards the Ministry, and to celebrate the glorious passing of the Reform Bi Is. Mr. ROE told them he should hold theut to bail ; and they were held to bail accordingly. A number of boys were fined in various penalties for letting off fireworks last night in the Seven-dials.

JOHN KNIGHT, Secretary. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. We have no further arrivals from Portugal, or from any other quarter, of importance. By the French mail this morning, we have the follow ing news from Constantinople, of the 11th of July, which states, that Ibrahim Pacha continues to advance in Syria; 16,000 Egyptian troops have arrived in the neighbour hood of Aleppo, and threaten that city. The Turkish fleet has left Mytelene; it consists of SO to 90 sail, of which 36 are ships of war ; but that of the Pacha of Egypt is less numerous : most of them are commanded by Europeans. The cholera has made its appearance at Aleppo. The Amsterdam Courant gives the following statement of the united Prussian forces :—Between the Rhine and Moselle are encatn, ed two divisions of infantry to the nutn. her of 21..000 men, with 2,000 cavalry ; between the Meuse and the Rhine are four divisions of infantry, to the number of 48,000 men, and 6,000 cavalry ; to which are attached twenty-four batteries of artillery, with 3,600 men :—Total number of the three corps d'armee which occupies the line of the Rhine, 86 000 men. The disposable troops eantoned between the Elbe and the Oder consists of 110,000 men, with 20,000 cavalry. Another corps d'artnee, which was in Silesia, is now on the march for the Rhine, consisting of 75,000 men ; and the nnmber of Prussian troops ready to take the field is computed at 290,000. The Brussels Independent asserts that King Leopold has shown great generosity in his marriage dowry to his Queen ; but this has not bee❑ the case on the part of the King of France to his daughter. Leopold has given a dowry, arising from his paternal estates. TUE FUNDS. The Funds this morning are again very languid, with little or nothing doing. This is owing to a great dearth of political information, and a want of spirit on the part of the capitalists to operate. We are now anxiously waiting to hear of the meeting between I)on Pedro's squadron and that of his brother. Should Pedro's Admiral prove successful, the blockade of Lisbon will be resumed with double vigour, which will cause great discontent at Lisbon, and which appears to be the only chince there is at present for Don Pedro's suc ceeding. Consols opened this morning at the same price they left off at yesterday, 831 a for the Account, with scarcely a bargain doing.

VOTING.—It is absolutely necessary that all freeholders should, before the 20th of this month, give notice to overseers of parishes of their qualification to vote. The ice was so thick at Newfoundland on the 31st of May, that the President was compelled to postpone the opening of the Supreme Court. Next d,sy a thaw commenced. At Rotherham, which contains several thou sand inhabitants, and a great number of freeholders, only three of the latter have as yet preferred their claims to he registered as voters for the West Riding.— Sheffield Courant. On Sunday morning, about 4 o'clock, a de structive conflagration broke out on the extensive premises of Messrs. BROWN and Co., acid and colour manufactory, near the church, Battersea. It would appear that the fire broke out in one of the stills, and although it was shortly discovered, the nature of the property caused the flames to spread with such inconceivalde rapidity, that only a por tion of the manufactory was preserved. The amount de stroyed is estimated at between 3,000/. and 4,000/. ATTEMPT TO BRIBE A JUDGE.—A Welsh paper states that, at the Assizes for Cardigan•hire, the defendant in an action had the impudence to send a state ment of his case to the Judge, Mr. Justice AcnEasolv, at his lodgings, accomp a ni e d by a 101. note. On entering the Court, the Learned Judge made a declaration of what he had received, and intimated that be should place the letter in the hands of the Attorney-General, and instruct him to prosecute the offender. U,timately, however, the Learned Judge returned the money, and cautioned the de fendant against trying such an experiment again. COURT CIRCULAR.

Lord HOLLAND entertained the LORD CHANCELLOR, Earl GREY, and a select party at dinmr on Saturday, at Holland House, Kensington. WINDSOR, AUG. 13. Yesterday evening their MAJESTIES dinner party con sisted of fifty, including the illustrious and distinguished pe: sonages mentioned in our last. This forenoon, at 9 o'clock, the 14'h regiment of Light Cava'ry arrived, and took up its station in the Home park, in order to keep the ground during the inspection and military movements of the Royal Household Troops. At 11 o'clock the whole of the troops, including the Foot Guards in camp, the battalion of Foot Guards on duty here, the regiment of Royal Horse Guards Blue, and the First Regiment of Life Guards, assembled in the park in close columns in rear of alignment, the right resting on tl e Castle, and the left on the extremity of the p'antation of Adelaide Cottage. The columns placed themselves in the fol'owing order from the right : The Royal Horse Artillery, three guns; regiment of First Life Guards, Royal Horse Guards, two squadrons, detachment battalion of Guard, second battalion Scot,. Fusilier Guards, Royal Horse Guards, two squadrons, Second Life Guards, Royal Horse Artillery, three guns. Precisely at 12 o'clock, their MAJESTIES and suite. under a Guard of Honour of the 14th Light Dragoons arrived on the ground in eight open carriages, each drawn by four horses, and preceded by two outriders in scarlet liveries. The first carriage contained the KING, who was dressed in a Field Marshal's uniform, accompanied by the Duke of CUMBERLAND, the Duke of GLOUCESTER, and Prince GEORGE of CU➢IBERLAND. The second carriage contained the QUEEN, the Princess AUGUSTA, and the, Duchess of GLOUCESTER. The other carriages the visiters and Royal suite. Their MAJESTIES were received with the Roya' Salute, the bands of the regiments playing " God save the King." The Royal cortege proceeded along the whale of the line at a walking pace, and then returned to the centre, where they took up their station. The whole of the troop then formed a square; and the QUEEN, with the KING, descended from their carriage, and her MAJESTY presented the Royal Standard, with an appropriate address, to Col. HILL, of the Royal Horse Guards Blue, who received the same, and acknowledged the honour, on behalf of the regi went, in a very able and eloquent manner. This ceremony occupying upwards of an hour, the intended sham fight did not take place; the regiments marched forward in line, and then passed in review order in slow and quick tim the bands of the respective regiments plying as they passe'. The whole of the proceedings terminated at 3 o'clock. T e Royal party left the ground on a salute of the artillery. and returned to the Castle in the same processional ord r observed on their arrival. The concourse of people, i n this occasion, exceeded everything witnessed since the la.e grand Jubilee of GEORGE 111. The weather was pecu liarly favourable, and the spectacle altogether was high y interesting. ASSIZES.-(RECEIVED THIS MORNING. OXFORD CIRCUIT—GLOUCESTER, Arco. 13. The Commission was opened here on Saturday evening immediately on the arrival of one of the Judges from Monmouth. This morning the business in the Coutts commenced,—that in the Nisi Prins Court at 9 o'clock, in the Crown Court at about twelve. The Calendar contains a list of 87 prisoners to be tried THE CHOLERA AT GLOUCESTER. The Grand Jury (in forming which there was much difficulty, from the nonattendance of gentlemen on ac count, it was understood, of the cholera, which is racing in the city) having been sworn in, the Marquis of Wor cester being foreman, Mr. 'limn GURNEY delivered to them a most eloquent charge. After remarking generally on the cases in the Calendar, he particularly drew their attention to the dreadful disease with which this country, and particularly the city of Gloucester, was afflicted. He explained to the Gentlemen of the Grand Jury how much it was in their power to prevent its far ther spread, as far as human means could go, by the pre servation of order and cleanliness in populous parte of the city and county, and particularly by promoting habits of temperance and sobriety; for he regretted to say, that not only was that disease accelerated by the non-observance of these latter, but from his recent experience on this Cir cuit, he was sorry to find that the greater part of the cases it had been his painful duty to try, had arisen from these causes aiso. After some general re marks and most strenuous recommendations to the Gentlemen in the commission of the peace as to the per formance of their duties, the Learned Judge concluded his address, which visibly produced much effect on his auditors, as well on the county as the city Grand Jury, to whom it was equally addressed. The business of the Court was then proceeded with.—Two prisoners were sentenced to transportation for life for different cases of cattle sterling.. Maria Fry, aged 86, was indicted for killing and slaying Mary Ann Fry. It appeared from the evidence, that the deceased and some other children were playing in the kitchen where the prisoner was, when a little boy was teasing the prisoner as to the loss of her teeth, and she took up a poker and flung it across the room at the boy, but, unfortunately, it hit the girl, who died in consequence of the blow, which fractured her skull. The prisoner in her defence, declared her sorrow at th occurrence, and that she did not intend to bit either of the children. It appeared that the prisoner had never been married, but that the deceased was one of her illegitimate children. The Jury found her guilty, and the Learned JUDGE then addressed the prisoner as to the effect of her violent passion, but said as there were some circumstances to cense it, and it appeared to have resulted somewhat from accident, she should expiate her offence by a slight pu• nishment. She was sentenced to three months' imprison ment and hard labour. A Correspondent says, Lord JOHN RUSSELL is certainly to be married to Miss HARDY. The young lady is the second daughter of Rear-Admiral Sir Tuomas MASTERMAN I-fanny, by a daughter of the late Hon. Admiral Sir GEORGE CRANFIELD BERKELEY and Lady E M ILY, sister to the late Duke of RICHMOND. The Countess of EUSTON and Lady GEORGE SEYMOUR are sisters of Lady HARDY, and conse q uently closely allied to the young lady, who is about to give her hand to the Noble Paymaster of the Forces. Lady HARDY and her daughters are expected to quit their residence at the Ad miralty, on Monday next, on a visit to the Earl and Countess of SEFTON, at Stoke Farm, near Windsor, whence they will proceed to Weymouth, and return tc London in November, at which period it is expected the ce remony will take place. Lord Jour; RUSSELL will com plete his fortieth year on Saturday next. Miss HARDY is in her twenty-third. Sir THOMAS HARDY Obtained hl4 baronetcy for his gallant and distinguished conduct in the celebrated victory off Cape Trafalgar, on which occasion he was Captain of the Victory, Lord NELSON'S flag-ship It is said that whem Louis the Eighteenth felt inclined to spare Marshal NEY, the late Lord CASTLE REAGH told him of a saying frequent in the mouths of his ancestors, and the other Scotch who settled in the North of Ireland, " the Chuch is good, but the gallows is better." A strong hankering for the gallows pierced, as the French say, several of the Noble Lords. Last night the Duke of WELLINGTON, though partial to blood-letting, admitted that his feeling was not generally entertained. "He de clared that his opinion as to the expediency of punishing forgery with death was unaltered. Tunes and circum stances, however, were so much changed, that he did not think it would be expedient to oppose the present Bill." We wonder none of the Noble Peers endeavoured to cap tivate John Bull by the saving which would result from executions. A dead man costs nothing, whereas other punishments are expensive in proportion to their duration. We have heard this argument u'ed by Tories, but the Duke of WELLINGTON even fought shy of it. There is a monument erected in a valley in Norway to commemorate a piece of economy in the above taste. In the time of GusTAvus AnoLetrus, a Colonel SINCLAIR had raised 900 men in Scotland, and was proceeding through Nor way with them to join GUSTAVUS at the siege of Gotten burg. They were led into an ambuscade and all killed but 150, who were taken prisoners. The Norwegians found the expense of maintaining these 150 men more than they liked, and they led them out one morning and put them to death. Not suspecting that their economy would ever be objected to, they commemorated the deed by the erection of 3 monumeat.....iiiorning Chronicle. 20Ter Ce ;it r tt,....,-_,___--,, t PRIVY COUN ...0.1115; ,, D,AX y r ;";M,,.- I t", The Lords of the PriViruet ::: * . ia 1 " .

The present letters notice the purchase of 20,000 poods of Hemp, and 10,000 poods of Flax. LOUIS THE FOURTEENTH. Never was there so consummate a master of what our James the First would have called kingcraft—of all those arts which most advan tageously display the merits of a Prince, and most completely hide his defects. Though his in ternal administration was bad—though the mili tary triumphs which gave splendour to the early part of his reign were not achieved by himself— though his later years were crowded with defeats and humiliations—though he was so ignorant that he scarcely understood the Latin of his mass-book—though he fell under the control of a cunning Jesuit and of a more cunning old woman—he succeeded in passing himself off on his people as a being above humanity. And this is the more extraordinary, because he did not seclude himself from the public gaze like those Oriental despots, whose faces are never seen, and whose very names it is a crime to pro nounce lightly. It has been said that no man is a hero to his valet; and all the world saw as much of Louis the Fourteenth as his valet could see. Five hundred people assembled to see hint shave and put on his breeches in the morning. He then kneeled down at the side of his bed, and said his prayer, while the whole assembly awaited the end in solemn silence—the eccle siastics on their knees, and the laymen with their hats before their faces. He walked about his gardens with a train of two hundred cour• tiers at his heels. All Versailles came to see him dine and sup. He was put to bed at night in the midst of a crowd as great as that which had met to see him rise in the morning. He took his very emetics in state, and vomited ma jestically in the presence of all the grandes and petites entrees. Yet though he constantly ex posed himself to the public gaze in situations in which it is scarcely possible tot any man to pre serve much personal dignity, be to the last im pressed those who surrounded him with the deepest awe and reverence. The illusion which he produced on his worshippers can be compared only to those illusions to which lovers are pro verbially subject during the season of court ship. It was an illusion which affected even the senses. The contemporaries of Louis thought him tall. Voltaire, who might have seen him, and who had lived with some of the most distinguished members of his court, speaks re peatedly of his majestic stature. Yet it is as certain as any fact can be, that he was rather below than above the middle size. He had, it seems, a way of holding himself, a way of walk ing, a way of swelling his chest and rearing his head, which deceived the eyes of the multitude. Eighty years after his death, the royal cemetery was violated by the revolutionists ; his coffin was opened ; his body was dragged out ; and it ap peared that the Prince, whose majestic figure had been so long and loudly extolled, was in truth a little man. That fine expression of Ju venal is singularly applicable, both in its literal and in its metaphorical sense, to Louis the Fourteenth. ' More sofa fatctur Quantula dint hominurn corpuacula.' His person and his government have had the same fate. He had the art of making both ap pear grand and august, in spite of the clearest evidence that both were below the ordinary standard. Death and time have exposed both the deceptions. The body of the great king has been measured more justly than it was measured by the courtiers who were afraid to look above his shoe-tie. His public character has been scrutinized by men free from the hopes and fears of Boileau and Moliere. In the grave, the most majestic of princes is only five feet eight. I u history, the hero and the politician dwindle into a vain aed feeble tyrant,—the slave of priests and women,—little in war,—little in government,— little in every thing but the Art of simula . ing greatneau,edinkre Review.
