SOLE 11 QUIS DICERE FALSU.II AUDEAT LONDON, MONDAY, JUNE 10, 1822. We have received the Paris Papers of rrhurs day and Friday, which are destitute of political i ntelligence, and almost entirely occupied with the proceedings of the Chamber of Deputies on verifying the new election returns. Madrid Papers to the Ist instant have also ar r ived. Their contents are interesting, and hold out the hope that the disturbances in the north or Spain are approaching their end. liamburgh Papers to the sth, and Brussels Papers to the Bth of this month, have likewise been received. Under the head of Foreign Intelligence we have inserted the most important articles brought 1 1 the Journals above enumerated. ti ItIVATE AND AUTHENTIC CORRESPONDENCE. PARIS, JUNE 6.-My absence from Paris has I°ls g interrupted my communications. I shall now be more tenl „ Lir; the moment is important, as all the grand interests (5 ' Europe are in question, for not only the political chart of ' l lrope is undergoing changes, but also a general spirit of in ll'bordination manifests itself in every country, tending in all 43e e'either to change or destroy the existing institutions. In no country is this principle more active than in France, where th e embers of the Revolution are still hot. It will scarcely be credited that associations are organized here similar to those in t'ngland in 1799—that there is a regular committee of direction and corresplandence at Paris—that the system extends through all the departments, the agents are in general the law and me dical students, who are employed to draw in the half-pay offi .Cet3 and the subalterns of the regiments in active service. One Bleat obstacle to the success of their treason is the low price 411 d ab un d ance of prov i s i ons ; h ence t h e numerous fi res o f h ouses and farm-yards, the perpetration of which has been tee d to the Carbonari, Bons Casio= or Liberals, which all ~ - L e an the same persons and principles. Three officers, of whom Government had positive informa tion that they belonged to this society, have received orders to tilt . i t Prance. The Constitutiortite/ abuses Government for this `. n tbitr arY act, and says they ought to have been tried. We are : 11 -4 inceil had Government adopted justice instead of de r en eY forits general principle, the writer of the article in ques -4.°11141 have been less pleased. The Constitutionnel boasts •,i. tts Principles —dare it avow those of its principal Editors— j," it affirm that there are not several of the daily writers in Pay, who have taken a treasonable oath to overthrow the i'°'lstitution and extinguish the House of Bourbon in France-- 4a 4 erY the Coistitationnel to deny this; the traitors can be th ls e 4 ; they are known as such to their employers, and no irlß but the c u lpable inaction of Government suffers these b e, °r ands of in surrect i on to rema i n a b roa d : t h e part i es can t, ro r ! 4rn e'll whether they belong to the haute vente, vente cen -4• or venter particulieres.

[EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM CURACO MARCH I.[ " At length the siege of Porto Cabello is laid, and the blockade by sea is closed. We have al ready three fine schooners, and expect daily four vessels more. The schooner Centella, captured from the Spaniards, is among the blockading squadron. There is a report here that CHURUCA had won over half the garrison to rise in our fa vour; but the plot was discovered, and it is said be was executed with others of the conspi rators." STEPHEN KEMRLE, EsQ. NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE, JUNE B.—Died, on the 6th instant, at the Grove, near Durham, in the 64th year of his age, after a short illness, STEPHEN GEORGE KEMBLE, Esq., the celebrated Comedian, and formerly Manager of the .Theatres-Royal Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Glasgow, and Edin burgh. Mr. KEMBLE had retired for some years from the exercise of the laborious profession of 'an actor, which he adorned no less by his talents than by the unsullied integrity and respectability of his private character. In many charac tcrs. he was confessedly unrivalled,—in all superior to most actors; and it is no small commendation that he was consiu dered by the late Mr. SHERIDAN to be the best declaimer he had ever heard either on or off the stage. He was also" pos sessed of considerable literary talents. In private life he was distinguished for a kind-hearted, cheerful disposition, which endeared him to his friends, and caused his company to be courted by all ranks in society. Few men, indeed, lived more generally esteemed and respected ; and there are few whose deaths will be more sincerely or more lastingly regretted. At his house at the Grove, near this city, on 'Wednesday last, after a few days illness, aged 64, STErnEt.: GEORGE KEMBLE, Esq. lately Manager of Drury-lane Theatre, and formerly Manager of the Theatres-Royal Edinburgh and Newcastle, and of the Durham theatrical circuit. To a mind well stored with the beauties of our great dramatic authors, and possessed of a rich fund of entertaining anecdote, Mr. Kr: MBLE united a kind and social disposition, and these en gaging qualities secured to him the esteem and friendship of a wide circle of acquaintance, by whom his unlooked-for death is much deplored.—( Durham Advertiser, June 8.) It, is said that his MAJESTY intends leaving town on Saturday next, for the Royal Pavilion at Ilrighton. Yesterday the Rev. Dr. BLOMBERG performed Divine Service to the King's Household at the Palace in Pall-Mall. Yesterday the Duke of YORK and the Princess AUGUSTA attended Divine Service at the Chapel Royal. The 1,0001. note lost on Thursday by a mes senger from the Committee for the Relief of the Suffering Irish, was yesterday returned to the Secretary by a Clerk to an eminent mercantile house in Broad-street, who had found it. The Parish Officers of St. Clement's Danes have recently had several small watering carts made, with which some of the able male paupers are employed every morning in watering the streets, Sze. of that parish, much to the gratifica tion of the inhabitants, this dry and hot weather. During the last three weeks the finest weather imaginable has been experienced in the County of Northumberland (and the accounts from Scot land run parallel): the consequence is the corn crops have assumed the most luxuriant and pro mising appearance. In all probability we shall have one of the earliest harvests ever known.— On Tuesday last the thermometer, in the shade, at Newcastle-upon-Tyne, was at 82f ; and in the sun, at two o'clock, so high as 109. Later in the afternoon a violent thunder storm set in, accompanied with heavy showers of rain. At Abshiels, near Morpeth, a far mer's servant, of the name of Edward Ogle, was killed by the electric fluid while ploughing. The horses were not hurt. Near Nether witten, a mare and foal were also struck dead by the lightning. No doubt the rain which fell will prove most beneficial to the country. Some ears of new wheat were shewn in the Newcastle market last Tuesday, a pheno menon unprecedentedly early. Green peas are selling at eighteen-pence per peck, whereas they used to he reckoned a great delicacy about the 20th of June at THREE HALF-CROWNS for the same measure. Surely, if the land be thus filled with plenty, the people ought to be filled with gratitude to the bounteous Parent of Nature! - SHOCKING ATTEMPT AT MUftDEß.—Saturday morning, at the early hour of four o'clock, the neighbourhood of Cock-lane, Smithfield, was thrown into great consternation in consequence of loud cries of" Murder," issuing from an upper apartment of the house, No. 9. The shrieks by degrees got fainter and fainter, until they at length ceased altogether, and the watchmen, whom the noise had attracted to the spot, were about to go away to resume their respective duties, when the landlord suddenly opened the door, and called for help to secure a murderer ! The watchmen then entered the house, and were led to a room up stairs, in the occupation of a respect able old lady, named Martin, and her nephew, James Prior ; they found the former stretched on the bed in her night clothes, weltering in blood, and Prior with a knife in his hand, at tempting to sever her head from her shoulders ! He had turned the body face downwards, and had made an inci sion reaching from both ears, but although he cut all the ves sels in that part of the neck, he was not sufficiently skilful in dividing the bone, which resisted all his efforts. The ruffian was immediately disarmed, and, after being properly secured, was conveyed to Giltspur-street Compter, under a strong escort of watchmen, and lodged in a secure cell. The officer of the night searched him before he was locked up, and took from him every thing by which he could at all endanger his own life. In the mean time, Mrs. Martin was carried on a litter to St. Bartholomew's Hospital ; and the house sur geon being immediately sent for, he left his bed to afford her the necessary assistance. Besides the wound in the neck, there were six or eight deep stabs on the right side, and one on the breast-bone; and the right arm was cut and stabbed from the shoulder to the wrist, supposed to have been done in warding off the blows aimed at the body . . These wounds (se veral of which are mortal) were dressed up with all possible haste and ability ; but the medical gentlemen in attendance gave over all hopes, and anticipated - her dissolution every moment. At ten o'clock she became in some degree sen sible of her situation, and continued to ask for her dear daughter, as she wished to see her before she died. It ap peared from the confused account she gave, that her nephew and herself had gone to bed early, and that he got up in the , course of the night, and attacked her in the inhuman manner al ready described, but she evidently wished to favour him by en deavouring to impress upon those around her that he was insane. There are various rumours in circulation as to the cause of this tragical affair ; but we forbear noticing them at present, as the matter is in a train of investigation. According to some accounts the state of the poor old woman is not of so dangerous a nature es above represented, and the-answer given at the Hospital was —that•there wgre fairlopes of her recovery. _ FASHIONABLE ARRIVALS.

The Prince and Princess of Denmark dined with the Princess Sophia Matilda, at her house on Blackheath, after their Royal Hignnesses' excursion on the Thames on Friday. The Royal strangers were met by the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester and the Princess Augusta. On their return to London one of the Princess Augusta's footmen was thrown from his horse, and had the misfortune to break his right arm in two places above the elbow. The fractures were set by Mr. Keat, and he is now in a fair way of recovery. On Firday Sir Robert and Lady Wigram entertained a large and distinguished party at their house in Connaught-place, after the Ascot Races. Lord and Lady De Dunstanville gave an elegant entertain ment yesterday to the Earl and Countess St. Germains, the Earl and-Countess of Falmouth, and a distinguished party, at their house-in Upper Grosvenor-street. : The Duke of Portland entertained a party, of ..distinction at dinner yesterday at his house in St. James's-square.

On Fri day evening at Lansdown House, Berkeley-square, which was attended by nearly 600 distinguished fashionables. , TIIE SHERIFF OF NEWCASTLE'S D INNER .—The Dinnir given on Trinity-Sunday, by the Sherilf of Newcastle, (Alfred Hall, Esq.) at the Queen's Head Inn, to the Corporate Body,' was, we understand, fully on a par with the fonntr elegant en tertainment given by that public-spirited Officer. About thirty Gentlemen dined, including the Mayor, the Recorder, Mr. Al derman Clayton , Mr. Alderman Forster, & - c. The Durham Chronicle has announced an ihtended visit, on the part of his Royal Highness the Duke of SUSSEX, at Lamb ton-Hall, (the seat of J. G. Lambton, Esq. M.P.) towards the middle of the approaching month of August. Tilis will be at the period when the Summer-assizes are held; and no doubt the presence of a member of the Royal Family in the North will draw an extraordinary influx of company to the capital of the palatinate, as it is but reasonable to suppose his Royal High ness will honour the assize-ball with his presence. It is hoped. that a similar honour may bp extended to Newcastle-upon- Tyne the week following 7 the assizes for Northumberland, and that town and county, being then appointed to take place. - THE PARK AND THE GARDENS.—Yesterday, owing to the heat and the dust, the visitants flocked to Kensington Gardens, wherein Fashion appeared in all its varied forms on no occasion do we recollect such a muster of rank. It was at five o'clock that the scene was at its zenith. The Long Walk and the Terrace, displayed a most animating panorama : the Ladies promenading in groups of sixes and sevens, with their attendant beaux. In the costume white was the favourite colour for dresses and pelisses, the first enriched with worked flounces in lace ; the latter perfectly plain • waists rather long and very taper. Small bonnets are now the rage, without ornament, for neither ribbons, feathers, nor flowers, were worn. Silk boots with silk pelisses, slippears, or shoes ; high on the instep, and pointed at the instep. In compliment to the weather colour e d dresses, shawls, and handkerchiefs were exploded. Nothing now in equipages. The Duke of Yonic is to lay the first stone of the bridge to be built at Windsor. His Royal Highness on this occasion will be attended by all the Freemason Lodges in the vicinity. The acceuchement of the Duchess of Cambridge is expected to take place the latter end of this month. Saturday evening the Princess Augusta honoured the Italian Opera with her presence. The Princess Sophia visited the Duke of York yesterday ; her Royal Highness rode out in an open. carriage with her royal brother. The Prince of Denmark assumes, while in England, the title of Count Alston, which title is on his visitin g card s . Hi s , Royal. Highness is considered to be hereincognito.

KING'S THEATRE.—The last new Opera of Olello was followed by Le Carnival de Venise on Saturday, and, notwithstandinc , the heat of the weather, was numerously attended by the higher orders, among whom were the Princess AticusTA, the Prince and Princess of D - ENMARK, and a lung list of distinguished Fashionables. CovENT-GARDErr.--The Proprietors of this Theatre laudably d e vot e d th e - profits of the per formances on Saturday last to the relief of the suffering Provinces of Ireland.—The Opera of The Lord of the Manor and the Farce of Hus bands and Wives were the dramatic performances on this meritorious occasion. There was a muster on Saturday of the The atrical Corps who are to open the campaign at the Haymarket in the approaching season.- The company will be powerful. Messrs. C. KF.MBLE, JONES, TERRY, LISTON, OXBERRY, TAYLEURE, Mesdames CHATTEBLEY, JOHNSON, and VESTRIS. Mr. W. `VEST, husband of the heroine of Drury lane Theatre, Mr. W. CLIFFORD, from*the Nor iiich Theatre, and A pupil of Mr. CORM, who is to appear as Polly, in The Beggar's Opera, are announced as promising additions to the company. VAUXH ALL GAR DENS.—HiS MAJE3T pa tronage to this charming source of public amue ment has induced the new Proprietors to affix the epithet of Royal to them, and the admirable additions which they have made to them give, them fair pretensions to the honour which they have so graciously received. SANDWICH ISLANDS: The following particulars relating to the SandWich Islands . were communicated by the Captain of an American vessel who lately-Visited them on a whaling voyage '" The Sandwich Islands are now becoming a place of great commerce, and the natives making rapid strides towards civi- Rzation : From the frequent visits they have had of late years 'from Americans and English, they are daily assuming their manners and customs and - abolish their own. No longer is seen the bow or the spear—no more is heard the shrill sound of the War Conch or the agonizing shrieks of the victim pre pared for the sacrifice.- Superstition in done away—idolatry ' has 'ceased, the church going bell' is now heard to break on the 'stillness of the sabbath, and the cheering rays of Christianity have already begun to beam on these child ren of nature. There are now residing amongst them several of the Missionary Society from the United States, with their wives and families ; there is a school kept by them, and a number of the rising generation are taught the arts of reading, writing, drawing, &c. which, together with die exem plary conduct of all the society, the moral atid . religions pre cepts delivered by the Rev. Mr. liinghain and the Rev. Mr. Thurston in the church, is daily increasing arnongsftliose.chil dren of nature a high sense of moral rectitude. : . -" Since the commencement of the year 1821, no less than 28 ships and brigs have visited those Islands for the object of trade or procuring supplies. ' " - The Natives themselves are now the -owners of ten square-rigged vessels, none less than 120 tons,. besides a num ber - of schooners and sloops, all of which they keep constantly going from island to island with sandal wood, provisions, &c. they are principally manned by natives, sailing them with skill and regularity. While Captain Gardner remained at Woahoo, one of their vessels arrived from a voyage to Kamtschatka ; she was commanded by a white man, but manned entirely by natives. For a quantity of salt she carried to the GoVernor of Kamtschatka she brought in return a quantity of dried salmon, cordage, canvas, cutlery, &c. The Governor also made his Owyheean.Majesty a present of a large tract of land, and sent him a deed of it. They are pleased with the success of the voyage, and would, soon undertakeanother. • " On the south side of - the island of Woahoo is one of the most Commodious harbours in the world ; wind or waves ever enter there to endanger the safety.of a vessel. There can be obtained refreshments of every kind, and a ship be repaired if needed ; for this last year it has been a resort for all the whale ships coursing in the northern latitudes,air refreshments and supplies. " In coming out of the harbour, bound to 'the northward, between Woahoo ' and Atoci; -there is a long low point and a reef extending . six .or eight. miles from . the S.W. 'part of Woahoo. To pass in safety, steer S.W. from the harbour ult. Ail : the western hills bear north, then a vessel may haul to th 6 north Ward with safety. - " In the Missionary Orphan School at Woahoo is a young native of the North-west coast.' He is A very forward scholar, reads well, and lias made great proficiency in drawing." EXECUTlON...—Yesterday, at' he lf-past one o'clock, detachmenti of horse and foot drew up in front of the Town House, here, and, immediately thereaf ter Cleland ordered the doors to be opened for the admiSsion of the' people. The Magistrates entered the Court Hall at half-past two, when James Donachy, sentenced; at the last. Circuit Court, for breaking into a cellar of a, gentleman in Gorbahs, and stealing about nine dozen bottles of wine and six of rum (in company with Torrance, _Dick and - Love, who are to be transported 14 years) was ordered up from his cetl: He immediately came up, followed by the Rev. Mr. Scott and his assistant (he being of the Catholic faith.)--On being seated' Mr. Scott said he wished to give the prisoner a glass of wine and water, on which the Chief Magistrate asked him to par take accordingly. He was only five minutes in the Hall, when Mr. Scott saki he was ready. The Hall was cleared, and the prisoner Mr. Scott, and hiS assistant proceeded to the platform, where the Clergymen recited a prayer, which the prisonerrepea t ed after them, and on the word Amen being pronounced, 'Mr. Scott gave a signal to the executioner, when the drop instantly ' fel/. On the executioner being introduced to the cell tohave him pinioned, he requested that he might have a long drop, which was attended 'to, and apparently he died without a struggl. 'He was dressed in black clothes and weepers.— He was twenty-one years of age,- of Irish birth; but had been in or about this city the greater part ofilia lite-time.'. He was noted as a very desperate character, aifitivas one of it gang of vagabonds that had long infeSted ihii''cliy*find neighbourhood.

GLASGOW JUNg 6.—This forenoon, that fine body of nien, the Glasgow Sharp s ho o t ers , commanded by Lim-Xi:llona HuxTEß,_were reviewed on the Green, by Major-General Sir THOMAS BRADFORD and a numerous suite. The Reginfeht went through the various military evolutions with -steatii ness and precision, to the great satisfaction of the Oengral ad military officers present, as well as to the delight of a nu merous concourse of the inhabitants who attended . ,on the occasion. The day was uncommonly fine and faVourable, and the display of beauty and fashion from this city And neigh bourhood, was unusually great. The ground was kept .by party of that very fine Regiment the 4th Irish . Dragoon Guards, at present in this garrison, whose Officers, we understand, gave an elegant Ddeune a la Fourchette to the General and other distinguithed individuals in this city and neighbourhood. To Lieutenant-Colonel If uNTEII and his very efficient corps, this city and the country are deeply indebted, and their ap pearance to-day did themselves and Glasgow the highest hon our. This species of force cannot be too much encouraged and commended. The formation of this corps was thedcsth blow to Radicalism in this part of the kingdom, and while they are embodied we are confident that its discordant and unhal lowed notes will never more threaten cr alarm us.

Am IN CASE OF SHIPWREC K.--Several experiments have recently been made before the Trinity Board, and a Board of General Officers, at Woolwich, on a new plan, for affording speedy and effectual aid in case of ship wrec k. It differs from Capt. Manby's plan, inasmuch as the line of (communication can be made by means of a rocket instead of a mortar. A roller is also added, and so admirably constructed, as to render considerable facility and safety in reaching the shore. The advantage thatmust be derived in the night time, from the rocket, is obvious, as it is so c onst ruc t e d, that it will burn in the water. The precision, by which thelirte of com munication is formed, is also considerably augmented; 'and the safety of life and property consequent upon having the apparatus ready on board, in case of accident, is paramountlY enhanced. The two Boards have spoken in appropriate terms Of the new plan, and have made their report accordingly. THE MARKETS. . . CORN EXCHANGE, JP iiE 10.
