The Moulman Chronicle gives an account of the in surrection in Ave in one issue, and contradicts it in the next. Still something must have occurred ; troops had been sent out, and had not returned. We sincerely wish the tyrant Tharawaddie was deposed and a quiet Successor found for him. So long as he remains he will be a trouble to our Government, and until he gets a good thrashing he will not be quiet. We are glad to hear our Chinese expedition has excited the fears of the Eitlrmese authorities. If carried out to a fortunate issue, we have no doubt it will have a wonderful effect on all the States in the Eastern Seas ; while the results in commerce will be, as Dominie Sampson says, prodi gious."—Bombay Gazette. We perceive by the Malacca papers that a Rajab of Salengore in thg Straits has been indulging in the favourite game of piracy with the schooner 13entinek, which had been sent round from Penang to S ingapore with cattle and supplies, and put into that port for fresh water. Having first seized her water-casks great inclination was evinced to beg, borrow, buy, or steal, the schooner, but that the latter feeling prevailed appeared from the fact of two large prahms anc horing so as to rake the Bentinck. Fortunately the Diana steam-boat made her appearance, and changed the aspect of affairs. Now really some order ought to be taken with th es e piratical bloodthirsty v illas of Malays, and their chiefs so signally punished as to prevent their rising to any head again. Two or three war steamers might give them a wholesome lesson on the road to China. The sum of affairs hithe Straits, as far as regards the safety, of vessels, has been for a long time precarious. Many barbarities, murders, and piracies, have occur red with smaller ere*, and even in calm weather a large merchant man is not safe from an attack of armed prelims. This state ~f things should not be allowed to continth. It is probable that in the event of th e complete success of our expedition to China that our moral influence will be extended among these barbarians, and much may be; done to check atd restrain them. But in the meantim e time the evil goes on from day to day, and should, it possible, be stopped at once. We trust the authorities in Ate Straits will exert themselves, and the means will be furnished by the Supreme Government to maintain a regular steam flotilla to clear the different harbours of these noxious vermin.—Bombay Gazette. From the Delhi Gazette of the 17th June, it will be perceived that all Affghaaistan is in an uproar, and that a fresh brigade has been applied for. We are one of those who are of opinion that the troops who carried victory to the gates of Cabul ought to have been kept there for a much longer period, and that water precipitation than judgment was shown in break ing up that fine army, which would have sufficed to subjugate the entire country, carrying with it, as it did, the prestige of victory. We publish also a letter containing an authentic account of poor Clarke's affair, and the destruction of the detachment of the old Kilee Paltun (the sth Regiment of Native Infantry). If affairs are lowering in Affghanistan they are not much brighter in Scinde. We trust soon to hear of strong reinforcements being sent to Upper Scinde, as after these successes the Beloochees will grow bolder and bolder, until some other very serious calamity will awaken the authorities to the inapolicy and folly of dis tributing small detaehments with few European officers, ' without support, in a hostile country, and in the midst .9f a treacherous and barbarous enemy. Nothing short of a wing of a regiment, with its officers and a gun, should be moved even with a convoy, and where are the troops to come from ? The Grenadiers, the sth, and the 23d, are the regiments on the spot, and are all too weak in European officers for forces which are likely to be called every instant to the field. Government will row feel the ill-judged policy of cutting off two lieute, nants and an ensign from each regiment.—Bombay Gazelle. BOMBAY PRICE CURRENT, JULY 18. COUNTRY PRODiJCE. COTTON.—Shipments to Chitia are being made, and it is supposed that prices will advance. UPtum.—The fifth and final opium sale of the season took place at Calcutta on the 29th ult. It consisted of 1,769 chests Patna, and 1,089 BenarPs, of which 150 of the former were reserved for the French Govern ment. The following, to the surprise of every one, is the result : Chests Highest Lowest Average Proceeds. Patna...... 1619 786 710 736,9,0 11,92,500 Benares...loB9 705 680 686,4,10 7,47,385 An hour before the sale purchases could have been made at 690 and 650. The purchases, we understand, were principally made for storing at Manila. One house bought 1,000 chests. The biddings opened at 715, receded to 710, thence rose again to 730, which was the extreme rate paid during the progress of the first division of the Patna : the remaining moiety sold much higher, the bidding> having opened at 755, from which they gradually as cended to 785, thence again declined to 750, at which rate the closing lot was let off. The Benares sold at even ft4ter rates—tbe opening price being 705, from which it declined to 680, thence again rose to and continued at 695, the few final lots bringing 690. Altogether prices ranged much higher than was conixmplated, judging from the accounts re ceived from - China by the Water Witch, and the heavy stock remaining in the hands of the bazaar speculators, whe, notwithstanding they bought a very moderate quantity, influenced the currency of the sale by their in prudent and incautious mode of bidding; and the rather improved accounts received from Singapore per Gypsy, tro days before the sale, tended in some measure to raise the price of the Benares drug.

(From the Canton Press, May 2.) We have been kindly favoured with the following cor respondence bet*een the American merchants and the Governor of Kesang-tung, from which it will be seen that Lin treats the rumours of an English expedition being sent to this countjy with utter contempt. It is, however, a curious thing that the Governor should re turn the petition of the American merchants, which we suppose means to say that the supposition of an attack upon China is so extravagant that no document wherein mention of it is made can be preserved on the records. This correspondence may therefore be looked upon as in a manner private, neither the petition nor the answer being preserved in the archives of Canton : " To his Excellency the Viceroy of Canton. "',e American Vice-Consul 13-lano, in behalf of the merchants of his country, respectfully presents this elu cidating petition. . . . . Vhereis it is the custom of western nations, when one nation blockades the ports of another nation, to pro- , hibit the ships of every nation trading to the blockaded nation ; but of this previou's notice must be given. Now, intelligence has been received from England and Ame rica, speaking of England contemplating to blockade the port of Canton on about the Ist of June. " Tne said merchants belong to a neutral nation, and only neutral. Now the time is short to bring our nation's ships to Canton, ships which pursue an honourable trade. We therefore earnestly solicit that they may come direct to Witarnpoa and open their holds. Heretofore many ships have been detained ; the time will not suffice to discharge and take in their cargoes, and they cannot speedily complete their business. Besides, the English men-of-war once come at the appointed time will pre vent our ships leaving port, and they cannot return to their country, and I,ur losses will be immense. " We therefore earnestly solicit the favour that our ships may directly come to Canton, and at once open hods, and the favour bestowed will be trifling. 6 , Our lucid petition is submitted to your Excellency's consideration.

" Canton, April 23, 1840." " PROCLAMATION TO TIIE AMERICAN CONSUL DELANO, ESQ., AND OTHERS. " Yu, the acting Prefect of Canton, proclaims to the American Vine-Censul Delano and others, for their full information, that in this 20th year of Taou-kwang, in this third month, and on this 26th day (April 27, 1840 ) , I have re c eived from Lin, the Governor of the Two Kwang Provinces, an edict bearing date Tao u-kw ang , 2 0th, 3d, and 25th (April 26), stating that the Hong mercha n t s h ave sent up t h e A mer i can Vice-Consul's eiath u tating petition in b e half of merchants of his country , was respectfully laid before his Excellency the tion]. or , declaring r, th a t—[h ere f o ll ows the above peti " Now I, the Governor, in reply to the aforesaid, state that I hoe , that ie a s in duty bound, examined and as certainedo:Val will has been received, merely to cut off the ob g ad ish trade—one nation. That all those nations who uphold the laws of the I land are allowed free tradel-eiblY because that recently I have perceived the unde but r atnie4 business that has been I pursued, it has been difficult to secure that other foreign nation ships would not carry on trade on behe of the Erglish ; therefore it has h, , ela n: , ,p nary to se Ireh for evidence that no irreguia,:iy Lab ed, beton; 1. coui,4 grant permission to order the opening of the holds of the ships. " The said foreimnerst, fearing on accoun t of this delay, have petitioned' earnestly that I would grant the favour early to permit the ships as usual to enter the port ; this much is reasonable. But in the petition is is falsely stated that on or about the Ist of June the Eng lish contemplate putting on a blockade, and then they will not permit the ships of any nation to come to China to trade, &c. Truly this is analogous to an audacious falsehood, and is an egregious mistake. Try and re flect that these ports are the Celestial dynasty's ports I and harbours. How can England blockade you ? Ye Americans ! America is not a nation tributary to England ! How then can you listen to the said barbarians prohibiting your ships from coming as you say. Why are you so disturbed, as if we were willing to milli esee in the England pointing out the Ist June or there abouts when you must not presume to enter and trade ? The Celestial dynasty's officers are truly de sirous to allay your anxiety—truly these are all reports which can only be clamoured forth by the disaffected. Even up to the present time the newly-arrived ships which pursue a regular trade have been permitted to open their holds, and those which were irregular have not been allowed to enter the port. Is it not so ? With regard to those concerning which I was in doubt, as was right, I have detained them till a clear investiga tion could be made ; indeed, how could I forbear in quiring which were the true and which were false ? or allow the irregular to enter port ? "I, the Governor, together with the Hoppo, in at tending to the business of every nation, do not tail to lay hold of justice and to seize upon equity. " Truly, we are not seeking to throw obstacles in your way ; from the time that the British trade was stopped the profits which the Americans hare received ; have been several times doubled beyond those of former years. Whence, then, are these losses ? Finally, if you do not know good from evil (that is, are ungrate ful), and, for the English, exaggerate their announce ment, it is to be apprehended that you yourselves will afterwards regret. " The original petition I return to you. " Writing these circumstances, I therefore insmedi , ately issue my orders to the Prefect ; let him immedi ately transmit it to the American Vice-Cousul, and to the said merchants, that they one and all obey accord ingly, and with the Prefect also return the petition. Let there be no opposition ; accompanying is the foreign petition. " Having received the edict, I immediately transmit it to the said American Vice-Consul Delano, and the American merchants, that they all obey accordingly. " Taen-kwang, 20th year, 3d month, 26th day (April 27th, 1840)." OPIUM PRODUCED IN CHINA.—PEKIN.—An officer named Chaow-Chingwub, belonging to one of the Su preme Courts, has written to the Emperor against opium, which is produced in the interior ; he attributes its increase to the remissness of the officers of Govern ment, whose duty it is to suppress it. In conse quence of this, a general order was issued to all Governors and Deputy-Governors throughout the empire to exert themselves in suppress• ing the use of opium, and to send in their opinions as to the best mode of doing so. The Go- vernor of the Yunnan province wrote back, that the natives on the frontier at the foot of the hills, in out-of-the-way places, and also foreigners adjoining, grew the poppy, and produced opium ; but he would ,;ive orders to search and prevent the continuance of the practice. His Majesty is not at all pleased with the vagueness of Governor Yuen's reply, which he de si,gnates "empty words ;" and in conclusion commands Yuen to yield implicit obedience to the former general order, and to suggest such plans as will put the people in fear and prevent the production of opium ; moreover, that at the close of every year a document reporting progress be sent to Court.—Canton Free Press. GOVERNOR LIN. From the time this great man determined upon exter minating the whole English race, and burning every vessel belonging to the said barbarians, a new mode of proceedjng suggested itself to him. The grand scheme of creating a native navy to equal ours has nearly been given up, We do not know whether the great Emperor would have approved of such inno vation, for even granting that this measure would be ialutary and eminently contribute towards the pro. section of the country, still it might be productive of other changes, and nobody knows where the celestials could finally safely stop. There was, moreover, another lifficulty : no commanders could be obtained, and with mt a proper crew and an experienced captain, the ves sels would have been worse than useless. The offers were favourable enough, but none of the pe-sons ap ,lied to would put any faith in those promises ; for one •)r two months they might have received their pay, and afterwards been obliged to live upon the Imperial com passion, which is something very unsubstantial and airy. Since the loss of plenipotentiary power, L ia has be come less bold, and has had recourse to edicts for fight ng battles and carrying on an exterminating war. Various reasons may be assigned as the cause of this wonderful change in his administration. There seems to be a great want of cash, and vigorous measures re qure a full chest. Then again the military officers have remonstrated against his plans, as being impracticable, and unless he himself went to carry them into execu tion, nobody was anxious to put his life in jeopardy. The grand victory at the Bogue is still kept in remem brance, and if a second triumph like that were obtained, there mighr be some probability of not one oldie heroes being left alive to bring the good news of the glorious action. Then there remains also some lurking fear of consequences, for the slightest misfortune would hasten his fall. According to all we have been able to learn, Lin is perfectly informed of what is to take place. But he vffeets an indifference which astonishes everybody, and with Spartan fortitu;le expects events that never before took place, and have therefore the air of improbability. Confident in the terrific power of the Celestial Empire, he has merely to open a fire upon the misguided bar barians, and then the very diamonds, if there are any such baubles in the navy, will be melted. His present policy is merely to guard the outposts, and we do not doubt but there are some good edicts in store, which may be hurled against any barbarian eye th.tt att..mpts to dispute the universal sway of the great Emperor. The concentration of troops is at the same. time going on at a steady rate. All the provincial detachments that can be spared are to rendezvous in anti about the provincial city. Some militia has also been called out, and every gun and matchlock has been put into requiii- Lion. Though a man of a very fickle disposition, he is not likely to yield to any just proposals. He has so great an idea of the terror of his name and of the bravery of the land forces under his command, that he will scorn the idea of coming to terms. Let the diimity of the Celestial emcire be upheld, let implicit obedience be yielded by all, the Son of Heaven will show ample com passion, and perhaps under some restrictions permit the re-opening of the trade. Such, we suppose, are his sentiments, and if he can carry them out, he will surely deserve the greatest credit, as one of the most valiant and persevering sons of Ham. Hitherto no weighty obstacles have obstructed his course, he has had no respectable force opposed to him to dispute his will, and, moreover, by a train of circumstauces, been ex tremely fortunate in most of his uniertakings. Miv.ters, however, will soon change, and then it will be seen whe ther he is a mere braggadocio, or a knight sans peer et sans tacke.—Canton Press. A COCHIN CHINESE STEA3IEP..—The Cochin Chi nese, thanks to the instructions of the French mis sionaries and other scientific men of the same nation, whose resort among them it was once their policy to en courage, have long shown themselves desirous to adopt the European modul in the construction of their sailing vessels ; and the King possesses a considerable number of what he, no doubt, deems first-rate ships of war after the European style. Resolved not to stop at this point in the career of improvement, he has lately added a steamer to his navy, by purchasing in Java the Nether- Janis steamer Van der Capellen, which vessel sailed into our roads a few days ago as his Cochin Chinese Ma jesty's steam-ship of war ! and towards whose dominions she will in due time bend her course, leaving him to boast that he possessed what perhaps no other Asiatic potentate has yet owned, a regular " smoke-ship," quite sufficient of itself, under proper management, to anni hilate the whole navy of his Lord paramount of the Dragon Throne, and which might sail up the Siam river unmolested and in triumph, carrying terror into the Palace of the " angelic city" of Bangkok, the capital of his ancient and hereditary foe! To apply the power of steam, whether by land or by sea, to the more benefi cent purposes of peace, is we fear, however, a thought that never mingled itself with the calculations of his Ma jesty of Cochin China.—Canton Free Press.

(Spirit of +1:: Fr Jo , :roll, of Illn The following important article in the Constitutionnel produced the greatest sensation in Paris on Monday : It is reported every day that the French Govern merit, placed in front of a treaty made independently of i its own influence, is endeavouring by one door or an other to creep back into the sphere of the negotiations ; is proposing a Congress at Vienna ; is soliciting at Lon don for a conciliatory memorandum, promising to con tent itself with such a document ; is opening the idea of French mediation between the Powers and the Paella —in a word, is taking the initiative in all kinds of pro posals likely to bring about an arrangement. There is not a single word of truth in a:I these allegations. France is proposing nothing, is demanding nothing. France is waiting. It is the only attitude worthy of the position which has been made for her. The Go- vernment could not. avoid explaining to the Powers who signed the treaty in what manner it understood the situation that resulted for herself from the treaty of the 15th of July. We are certain that this was done in terms as firm as they were moderate. Its Ambassadors are at their posts to complete ver bally, in their interviews with Foreign Ministers, the explanations contained in the written communications. This is the part to be played by M. de St. Aulaire at Vienna, and M. Guizot at London. It is pretended that the King of the Belgians has undertaken to nego tiate at !Windsor an amicable arrangement between the Court of England and the Court of France. If the King of the Belgians has, in fact, endeavoured to con stitute himself a mediator, it has been his own spon taneous act, and not at the request of the French Go vernment. The Belgian kingdom is a creation to which the alliance of France and England powerfully contri buted, and it is natural that this Prince should desire to hinder the definitive rupture of this alliance. The connections of relationship which attach him to the two Royal houses of France and England were also an addi tional title for him to seek to adopt the honourable part of a conciliator. But if the King of the Belgians has really been labouring to effect an arrangement it is a laudable intention, for which both nations cannot but be obliged to him, though it has been suggested to him by nobody but himself. It was not becoming to the French Government to demand the good offices of anybody, not even of a King so nearly allied to our own. There has been some talk for the last day or two of a new memo randum addressed to our Cabinet by Lord Palmer ston. This communication was announced before it was actually made. It has been asserted that the terms of it were settled beforehand between our Am bassador and Lord Palmerston, and that the French Government had undertaken to accept it as a pledge of reconciliation. There is nothing true in all this, except the fact of the memorandum existing. We are assured, in fact, that the Cabinet has received from the Foreign Office, a very long note. But it is entirely false that it called for such a communication ; and it is false that it made any engagement to see, or that it actually does see, in this diplomatic document a solution of all the difficulties. According to the information we have received, this memorandum is only a more extended repetition of that which was inserted in the Augsburg Gazette. These is a long narration made in it of the negotiations, principally of those anterior :,to the Ist of March. A. protest is made against all intention of having wished to offend France. It is again said that in signing the treaty the pressing necessity of termi nating the question of the East had to be given way to ; and that, the question being resolved, it is hoped that our alliance will be again obtained. This memo randum is written in very proper terms, hut it does not at all change the foundation of the matter. The question, in fact, is, not to know whether alliance is to be made at a future period with France, but whe ther the execution of a treaty concluded without her assistance is to be effected, and that, too, by means which menace the interests of her power and her dignity. Since, however, according to this memoran dum, the policy of the treaty is still persisted in, it is evident that nothing has been changed. The situation remains the same as it was before. Let the people now decide whether the Cabinet has called for this memo randum, whether it concerted the terms of it, and whether, as has been maintained, it gave to it an anti. cipated assent. Once more, France is making pro posals to nobody ; she is waiting, and she continues to take precautions." The Debats, in noticing the telegraphic despatches from Alexandria, says that the moment of action had arrived, and, if there was no chance of negotiating, the Chambers ought to be convoked. It says : " Thus hostilities have commenced upon the coast of Syria by the English, before the expiration of the delay granted to Mehemet Ali by the treaty of London, and before even the ratification of that treaty hostilities have been declared, or rather they have broken out, in a way so little conformable to the praci ice of civilised nations that we could still wish to doubt the authenti city of the news. By vir:ue of what powers, of what rights, did Commodore Napier. on the 14th August, summon the Egyptian - nuthot:ities to evaoustO 'Syrlzt, whe-eas the notification of the Treaty of London was only made to the Paella on the 12th? Who can have given orders to this officer to violate, before even a com mencement of execution, a treaty which, according to the professions of the Powers who signed it, was to secure the permanent patefication of the East ?" Upon the same intelligence the Constitutionnel has a second article. It says : " This, with the attempt to r o use Sy r i a t o insurrec tion, is certainly a commencement of hostilities against the Paella. But does it follow that if these first mea sures should prove insufficient, as they have up to this moment been, the Four Powers will have recourse to extreme measures ? That is by no means certain. The insurrection of the Libanus was what determined the Powers to sign the treaty of the 15th July, it opened to them so commodious a means of coercion, and dispensed with the necessity of a direct intervention, respecting which many divisions might arise. This insurrection having been put down, contrary to all the calculations of Lord Palmerston, the first act of the English was naturally to endeavour to re-excite it. This is what 1149 been attempted. Up to the present moment it has not succeeded. Six days after the summons of Admiral Napier the Egyptian au thorities were not thinking of evacuation, and the Emir Bechir in token of his fidelity sent to Mehemet Ali the proclamation which he had received from the English squadron. Between this attempt made to rouse Syria to insurrection and more direct and perilous coercive means there is an immense distance. Will the Four Powers dare to pass it ? We do not know ; but as the first of these means had principally for object to avoid the employment of extreme measures, and as the Powers hare now recourse to the least •compromising measure possible, there is no reason to conclude that they will not hesitate at adopting more dangerous resolves." The following remarkable article in the - Doctrinaire organ, the Memorial de Rouen, calls for no com ments : "M. Thiers is at his third shift. 'We stated that, the Convention being signed, he hoped to prevent it from being ratified, and that has taken place ; that being ratified, he was certain to prevent it from being notified, and that also has been effected, and it has even been seen with what eagerness, eclat, and rigour. Now, he considered himself still more certain of receiving proposals by which it would be modified. The latter illusion is destroyed. All that chimera to which the Government and the press for a weak attached credit has fall• nin its turn. There have been no proposals, and none will there be. " Only yesterd iy a communication was received from Lord Palmerston, repeating what he had stated in his speeches, endless protestations of attachment to France. Tue Council deliberated for six whole hours upon that communication, which gives a true portrait of the situation. " The treaty is being rut into execution. At the hour at which we are writing the execution is com menced. It has been so for many days past. England avows that ten thousand muskets have been sent to Sy' ia. That is the commencement of the intervention. " The situation has, therefore, resumed all its gravity. That which is inconceivable is that in the eyes of those that govern it had lost it for a moment. " Active preparations will be redoubled. Measures of the highest moment are spoken of. The famous contract for horses is at last effected. M. Thiers, in all this, has committed two blunders. There has been too much noise, and not sufficient execution. " In that situation M. Guizot's friends mutually ask each other what course they are to pursue—whether they are to allow those difficulties to remain until the end of the chapter the personal affairs of a man who has in a great measure caused them, and who aggravates them. M. Guizot, by one word, can dissolve the Cabinet, and he alone can do it. His two friends withdrawing, M. Thiers would not be in a position to present to the Kieg a solid Cabinet ; and from another combination might be expected, in case of war, moreresults,more perseverance, and more resolute conduct than from the present one, which is distracted, bewildered, squanders the public money, but persists, goes right to the object, taxes, and acts. Then might be expected for peace more influence and more authority. " That dependent situation in which M. Thiers finds himself with respect to the Doctrinaires, the one which he sees he has in Europ e , an d w hi c h i s t h e wor k of the very journals that support him, and which for years laboured to injure his reputation, weakens him in the Government und er a Mi n i ster who at- I tained power by undermining the person and autho rity of the Prince in the opinion of all nations and all Courts. The deep conviction that that state of affairs gives an increasing ascendancy to the hatred of Russia and to the insults of England has caused M. Thiers to wish to withdraw. He himself acknowledged that that was the best solution, and it is very certain that he said so to the King. But the misfortune of his position is, that his resignation is impossible, that the Crown cannot accept, and that he is condemned to retain the power which he so much wished for. The King has been so much calumniated by his journals, that the more his Minister is discredited by Europe the less can he part with him. The King, M. Thiers, and France are en closed in a vicious circle, the strangest and most de plorable that can be imagined. Let it not be said, therefore, that foreign Powers seek the downfal of the C l,inet, Therc ;s IlirP" , 'i*) to tnem ; for under i. France has no 'a eight t x Etii, - .)pc but - the weight which the calumnies of the Constitution nel, the Temps, and the Courricr Francais have left for M. Thiers. " It is the serious nature of that position which M. Gu:zet's friends are deliberating upon: They feel that a heavy responsibility is hanging over their heads." PRINCE NAPOLEON. AUTHENTIC NARRATIVE OF THE EXPEDITION OF PRINCE NAPOLEON TO FRANCE, AND OF HIS DEBARCATION AT EDULOGNE, ON THE 6TH OF AUGUST. 1840, BY ONE OF HIS ATTENDANT OFFICERS. (TRANSLATED FROM THE FRENCH.) Woe to the conquered, but honour to pure and noble intentions." The expedition, which comprised about 60 men, left England the 4th of August, 1840. The steamer the Edinburgh Castle* was employed to convey the men, carriages, and other luggage, and was at Greenwich at half-past 9, where some of the associates were em barked ; others were taken up at different points of the passage, to allay suspicion. At 11 o'clock the steamer was off Black wall and at midday opposite Gravesend ; from both of these places men were received on board. Anchor was cast before this latter place, and the vessel remained there till 5 in the evening, when the Prince who had appointed that place for his embarkation, came on board. The vessel then proceeded down the river Thames ; but meeting with low water, she touched upon a sandbank about 6 o'clock, just off Margate. We remained there till the next day, the sth of August, when, at 3 in the morn ing, the steam being up, the vesse l cont i nue d h er pas sage. When we arrived at Margate we embarked the remainder of our company, and then got out of the Thames. As it was not wished to reach the coast of France until the break of day, it was proposed to rest off Ramsgate during the sth, but the wind blowing stiff from the English coast, we ran from Ramsgate to Rye, and thence tacked about and made for Dieppe, that it might be thought that that was our destination ; but having proceeded a certain distance, the vessel was put about for the coast of England to wait for a conve nient hour for landing at the projected destination. The sea was very rough, and the waves covered the ports of the vessel, and nearly all on board were sea sick. Towards midday the wind abated, the sea be came calmer, and the passengers less affected with sick ness. The Prince profited by this opportunity to ad dress them on the subject of their landing. Turning to his friends and his devoted followers, he acquainted them in a forcible and energetic speech with his inten tion to make a descent upon France, and to replace the nation in its glory and honour, from which she had been excluded since 1819. Up to this time, with the exception of three or four persons, none knew what was the cause of the embarkation and intended expedi tion. Strict silence prevailed whilst the Prince addressed them, who, with an energetic voice, pronounced these fine words :—" My friends, I have conceived a project which I could not before communicate to you, which contemplates grand enterprises, the secret of which alone insures success. My friends, we go to France ! I have friends there waiting my arrival. and if I am se conded by you, as I have been led to anticipate, the sun that now shines upon us will in a few dabs light us in Paris, and history shall record that it was with a hand full of brave men, such as you, that I accomplished this grand and glorious enterprise." This warm address electrified his auditors, who were enthusiastic, and repeated cries were raised of " Vive lu France !" " Viva la Patric !" " Viva le Prince Napo leon !" " Vive l'Empereur !" which proved to him their patriotism and their devotedness to France. A!;er having made known the object of the expedition, the order was given to distribute the clothing and equip ments from the boxes on board, of the contents of which till then nil were ignorant. This distriuution was made with promptitude in a regular manner, and all immedi ately put on their uniforms. Towards 6 in the evening the vessel hove off Deal, where we saw a small squadron of Dutch vessels be tween us and the land, and making passage to the west. This discovery caused some astonishment for a while, and gave rise to various conjectures, but we did not slacken the rate of the vessel, or change its direction. At half-past 7we left the coast of Engiand in nearing that of France, and at 9 o'clock, the night being ad vanced, we directed the vessel towards Cape Grisnez Towards 10 o'clock, the water being low, the line was cast on the coast, the result of which being considered dangerous, it was then that the last preparations were made. At 1 o'clock in the morning we took a different course, and made all possible sail for the port of Vime reux, distant a league from Boulogne. Soundings were made often, to avoid running aground on the sands, which, according to the lead, were at first 15 feet, and at last 10 feet, and the draught of the vessel only 8 feet. 'rho engine was stopped, and the boat abandoned to the current, keeping her clear of all obstacles. At two o'clock the ship's boat was put afloat, and the first detachment, composed of eight grenadiers and a captain, proceeded to the landing-place ; seven fol lowed every ten minutes ; and thus s ion all were landed. The head of the first detachment had received orders to communicate to she Custom-house authorities that the vessel whin was in sight had left Dunkirk on the sth with troops for Cherbourg, for the expedition to La Plata, but having sprung a leak they had been obliged to put into the nearest port, and that the commander had determined to finish the journey on foot. Before quitting the steamer orders were given to the English captain to leave his anchorage and lie before Boulogr.e a quarter of a league distant, and to enter the port on a given signal. All the horses and luggage were left on board. At Vimereux the expedition met two officers whom the Prince had sent previously to Boulogne with a con fidential mission. They served as guides to the column, which when it was formed marched for Boulogae under the orders of Prince Napoleon. At four o'clock in the morning we entered the bar rack-yard of the Infantry, where we found two com panies of picked men, from the 42d Regiment. On hearing the voice of the Prince, and seeing the imperial eagle, the under officers and soldiers were im mediately in arms in the yard, and ranged themselves in battle array against the column of this expedition. The Prince th en a dd resse d them, and produced a tea gical effect upon them, and repeated arias of " Vive le Prince Napoleon !" " Viva l'Empereur!" They beat to colours and presented arms. The orderly officer of the Prince, M. Jules Lombard, who carried the standard, went and placed it in the centre of the two companies, and the imperial eagle was received in their ranks with shouts a thousand times repeated, of " Vive le Prince Napoleon !" " Vive l'Empereur !" Immediately the Prince promoted seven non-commis sioned officers, who had advanced in front of the two companies, to the grade of second lieutenants ; one of them he named a chevalier of the Legion of Honour. Time being precious, all those operations were com pleted in ten minutes, and they then prepared to march to a particular part of the city, where they were to rally their partisans who espoused the P.ince's cause, and upon whom he reckoned, and to seize, at the same time the civil and military authorities who should be opposed to the accomplishment of his enterprise. But a veteran captain of the 42d, attracted by the acclamatiors, and, ignorant of what was going for ward, came out : he contrived to mike hi; wey into the barracks, and, seeing what was intended by these demonstritions, he was frightened at the false position on which he was about to enter, and, alarmed at the serioue consequences which might ensue, he made vi gorous attempts to cool the ardour of his troops. Pru dence suggested that this officer should be put to death, which would certainly have taken place had it not been for the intercession of M. Aladanin, Lieute nant of the 42(1, who had taken part with the Imperial cause, but who nevertheless entreated his days might be spired ; moreover, some in the ranks of his com of whose attachment he boasted, exclaimed, " Save our captain." A frightful conflict might have ensued. A dreadful slaughter seemed inevitable. Fr ench an b d lo t o h d e seemed am ab p o s t:t to be shed in stream s — a conclusio n w hi c h i t was a dvisable to avoid. From thi s moment cold ness succee d e d theat first first united, hurst enthu siasm,separated f parated without the possibility of marching any longer under the same ensign. We left the barracks, as we could not come to an understanding, and the doors were closed upon the troops of the 42d regiment. PrincaessNemapbloeldeonb,enfoore ow longer relying on the support of these tw o compan i es, rus h e d in the midst of the mul titude barracks, when two or three hundred of the populace cried " Leave the sol dii:lrigsVi atlo v o e i'E naer;nws m er p w er i e ll ur !m:""h with you to the Hotel de Ville, All these fi ne f e ll ows followed the Prince with cries of ' V and marched a t a qu i c k pace towards that Napoleon plr of the " city where the citadel is, to o btain arms. The Princei wished to obt a i n arms f or the men who followed and who were so well disposed to,support him. The first door they found sh&., it was opened quickly , ; but the second, whi c h a b uts o n the route to thetea was of i also equally fast. The orderly off i c er Prince, M. Lombard, summ o ned the porte r to open it he was succeeded by two sappers, who endeavouredto break B futile. y it t pe h o is n , timebut, unfortunately, thealarm larm dr drums m s a vi ll er teir efforts e h beardbea sve ti e n r g tional Guard, the Preventive ce and the Gender in all quarters of the city, and oalle d to arms the Na.. e coast.

" My frieuds," said he," I came to France to triumph ~- . f e.ry TT to ti:e ~..tandard-bearer, Lombard, to ascend to the uni mit, and there plant his flag. Arrived at the foot; of '-.he column, the Prince addressed his followers thus :—" My friends, it is at the has of this column I will die, arid we shall see if the French dare fire upon the of the Emperor." His friends, seeing the fatal consequences of his reso lution, again endeavoured to persuade him to make to the shore, but lie replied, with greater energy, " No, leave me ; it is here that I ought to die." It was then that they dragged him with force towards the sea, d.stant about half a league. The Prince and his friends were surrounded on all quarters ; the gendarmes were sent out as scouts, and appeared upon the surrounding heights, at the distance of two or three gunshots. The Preventive Service and a party of the National Guard followed, without, how ever, daring to engage in combat. The majority of the people who had accompanied the Prince, seeing the improbability of procuring arms, made a retreat, and arrived at the landing-place without a single shot having been fired. During this time the standard-bearer was alone at the top of the column, where he had planted his flag and attempted to make a diversion in favour of the Prince by attracting his assailants' attention. The Prince having lost all hope of repulsing such a powerful force, and desiring as far as possible to avoid the effusion of blood, from this time unavailable, retired by degrees to the sea-shore, where his friends hoped to obtain a boat for his embarcation, and take him off to the steamer. A detachment of forty or fifty of the National Guard followed the Prince, and from time to time we faced the enemy in order to keep the..n at bay. We reached et last the sea-shore, where a slight bark was found high and dry, and which it was necessary to launch into the sea. The Prince was lifted by his friends and by some of the people who had constantly followed him, and was borne on their arms to that frail bark, where he was joined by five or six friends, among whom were Colonel Voisin, Commandant' Mesonan, M. Galvani, . MM. Baitaille and de Serigny. . The embarcation was made in great haste ; the men who had saved the life of the Prince, as they thought, then effected their retreat in many directions, to escape being made prisoners. Then, these National Guards having nothing more to fear, came down upon the sea-shore and directed a sharp fire upon the bark, by which there were wounded the Prince Napoleon by a spent ball in the chest, and who received two other balls in his clothes, Colonel Voisin received 1 three balls, the Subintendent Galvani received four balls, one in his right arm and three in his clothes. The frail bark being too heavily loaded, foundered at four metres from the shore, and those who knew any thing of the art of swimming attempted to reach the steamer by swimming. It was thought that the rage of these miserable men would have now been appeased, and that they would have, to the honour of France, left them to the mercy 'of the waves—a feeling which must exist in the heart of every man of honour ; but nevertheless, the balls of these National Guards continued to be discharged against these defenceless men. The person who com manded the fire is a mean character called Duterte, a notary and captain of the National Guard—a name which ought to be regarded with disgust and abhor rence. Two boats then left the shore, one with four gendarmes, the other with six National Guards, to take charge of the wrecked. The first of these two took on board the Prince Napoleon, in full uniform, also the chief, the Commandant Mesonan, and M. Bataille, one of the orderly officers. MM. Voisin and Galvani, being sorely wounded by the first discharge of musketry, were lying on the shore, and were taken prisoners. If the boat which carried the Prince had reached the Edinburgh Castle, the disaster would have been greater. The preventive service had for the last quarter of an hour been in possession of the vessel, and, after lying down on the deck, they had ordered the ves sel to lae directed in such a manner as to approach the coast, in order to pick up or receive on board the fugi tives. In this method of proceeding a snare was laid worthy of every act which had disgraced this day. The armed Custom-house officers would have fired on the Prince as soon as he was within shot, aisd his death, which had no doubt been determined on, would have been unavoidable. Whilst this was passing off shore, the Imperial standard was flying at the height of the column of the Grande Armee. M. Lombard re solved to die under his flag, and, though alone, stood out against a number of the gendarmes and soldiers of the line, who called upon him to surrender, and come down. This continued for full a quarter of an hour, when two strong men mounted to the top of the column and told him to surrender his flag, menacing to preci pitate him from the height, if he refused. In repiy to this, M. Lombard presented a pistol in each hand, and told them that if they dared to make a single step towards him for the purpose of seizure, he would immediately shoot them. This was sufficient for them, and the imperial eagle remained flying till the Prince was arrested. One of the persons. named Lejeune, a witness of this scene, a master bricklayer, was so touched with the loyalty of the standard-bearer, that he offered him a chance of escaping. " I ;lo not want your offer," re plied M. Lombard, "my place is with my flag. lam ready to die for my cause ;" then seizing the eagle he descended the column, and gave himself into the hands of the crowd waiting below as a prisoner. Those already in custody were taken to the citadel. All were anxious to know the names of his friends who had shared the same fate, and they found a number of their comrades in custody, and the pressing of hands on inquiring after each other was truly affecting. It was true that the fate of the brave Count Dunin, captain and aide-de-camp of the Prince, who it appears was drowned, after having received a ball in his head, was lamentable, as was the more frightful death of M. Jaure, one of the household of the Prince, who, when badly wounded in the abdomen, and resting upon the strand, was coolly assassinated by one of those National Guards, the name of which deserves never to be mentioned but with execration by men of courage. . I , fec', during the passage horn the column to the sea-shore a handful of courageous men had been suffi cient to keep in respect this villanous band, and it was not till the men were without arms and partly sub merged that the pretended valour of these swaggerers was exercised, valour which would at the hands of all honourable men be stigmatized as dishonourable political assassination. In this short expose of facts it would be useless to detail denunciations and partial treasons of which many of the officers and soldiers of the followers of the Prince were the victims, who ought to have found hospitality and good-will for their heroic conduct and devotedness, a dignity by many of them justly acquired. But such was not the case, and by the side of these dastards whom we have just exposed, we must unfortunately add, that certain individuals were base enough to agree for the price of gold, after having afforded an asylum to several fugitives, to give them up to the authorities io the expectation of further rewards. Considering it in all points, nothing could be more in famous than this conduct, because it was the Emperor Napoleon who made of a miserable place of fishers' huts and pirates a great and beautiful city, and the cradle of his prosperity and opulence bears date from his immortal camp of Boulogne. Such is the succinct expose of the facts which took place during the Gth of August. They arc submitted without commentary to impartial men of all opinions, that all may take a view of the case and stigmatize ac cording to merit the turpitude and infamy of a p Irt of this anti-French population, who have acted with such culnlbility in this unfortunate affair. Given at the Citadel of Bou!nue, the 10th of Aupst, 1840, under the State-Major Mesonan, and m4ny offi cers, by M. Jules Lombard, orderly-officer of the Prince, standard-bearer of the guard of the Pretendant in this unfortunate affair. The officers present at the affair of the 6th of August, 1840, and taken prisoners, were the Prince Napoleon, M. M. le General Montholon, Colonel Voisin, Colonel Bauffe de Montauban, Colonel Parquin, Major Meso nan, Lieut.-Colonel Laborde, Captain Despardin, of the Imperial Guard ; MM. Lombard, standard-bearer, and one of the orderly-officers of the Prince Napoleon ; MM. de Persigny, Ornano, and Bataille, orderly officers of Prince Napoleon ; M. Bachon, Master of the Horse of Prince Napoleon ; Dr. Conneau, surgeon to the Prince ; M. Orti, a friend of the Prince ; M. Dalm berg, the Secretary of the Prince, filling the capacity of Lieutenant of the detachment ; M. Aladanize, Lieute nant of the 423 line ; M. Galvani, sons intendent taire ; M. Buze, foster-brother of the Prince, Paymaster of the Forces ; M. C. Thelin, steward to the Prince, and all his servants, about sixty individuals. The wounded were the Prince, one ball ; Colonel Voisin : pierced by three balls ; M. Galvani, sous-in tendent, a ball in the arm ; a Polish soldier wounded in the arm, amputation necessary, despair of his sur viving. The killed were M. le Count Dunin, Captain and Aide-de-Camp of Prince Napoleon ; M. Fauze, Secre tary to the Prince. those who it is thought have escaped arc M. Vis count Richard de Querellcs, Captain of the detach ment ; M. Forestier, Sub-Lieutenant of the troop. Evidently meaning the City or Edinburgh. CITY COMMISSIONERS OF SEWERS.—Yes terday Sir Burgess Camac waited upon the Commissioners of Sewers, sitting at Guildhall, in the City, for the pur -1 pose of applying for permission, a: Chairman of the Me tropolitan Wood Pavement Company, to lay down the wood pavement of the Company in some parts of the City. The Commissioners gave permission to the Company to make an experiment opposite to Cripplegate Church, from Jewin-street to White Cross-street. Mr. Stephen Geary also made an application to experimentalise with wood pavement. He requested, upon the part of the Company, called " The Wood Paving Company," to bo allowed to go to work • and was sanctioned to lay down 300 yards of timber pavement in Leadenhall•street, opposite to St. Ca therine Cree Church. It is calculated that the traffic in the latter place is about four times a great as that in tho latter. TRIAL OF MADAME LAFFARGE. SECOND DA Y . ...E; I.' .R._.o P.F. I) 1 N The first. part of lite sitting l of the Court on toe second day was occupied with the arguments of Counsel on the question raised on behalf of the prisoner, that the names of Lll those persons should be struck from the list of witnesses who had been witnesses on the previous trial for the robbery of diamonds. The Court, how ever, decided that they should be retained, and The President proceeded with the examination of Madame Laffarge. She rose from her seat with appa rent difficulty, and replied to the questions put to her with so feeble a voice th,it her answers could hlr:Ily be heard. In a short time, hovre%er, she became more calm and self-possessed, and her replies, given in a ciear but. still weak voice, were easily heard. President—By whose intervention was your marriage n:-gotiated ?—Madame Garat spoke to me on the part of M. Laffarge. But was there not an intermediate party ; a nego tiator?—l know not of whose intervention he availed himself. Was it not that of M. Defoy?—l know not. Is it true that in your journey from Paris to Giandier you had a loaded pistol with you ?—No ; it is not! Why, then, did you say so in your letter to your hu.band, after your arrival at that place ?—.I was so annoyed at my position, and so much desired that M. Laffarge would aiow me to quit the place, that I said the most inconceivable things, and told the greatest faishoods to—(Here her voice faltered, and she did not conclude the sentence.) Is it true that during the journey you took poison ? —No, Sir. M. Paillet (Counsel for the prisoner)—The prisoner requests permission to be allowed to sit. President (to the prisoner)—You may sit down. You say that you bad not a loaded pistol with you on your journey from Paris to Glandier, and that you did not take poison ; although these statements were both made by yourself in the letter to your husband. Was it then the result of excitement on arriving at Glandier that you made those statements ?—Yes, sir. What was your motive in sending your portrait to M. Laffarge with the cakes, when you knew that he would so soon return from Paris ? I say cakes, although in the accusation against you it is stated that there was but one cake.—lt had been agreed between us that I should send the portrait. M. Laffarge expressed a wish to have it, ar.d I got a portrait painter to take it. Se veral days were occupied in taking it, and as he desired to have it in Paris I sent it to him. As to the romantic aff.►ir about the cakes I cannot explain that. It was in deed ridiculous enough, but M. Laffarge was so good to me, he had shown me so much affection, that I wished to give him pleasure, as he had desired to give me plea sure by partaking my laic de poule. Why did you say that he shared the cakes which you sent him with his sister. His sister was not in Paris at the time P—That was ridiculous enough, I own ; but I fancied she was there. How do you reconcile this exalted tenderness with the cruel letter , vhich you wrote to him on your arrival at Glandier ?—The kindness of M. Laffarge had won my heart. I really liked him. It was not love, but affection. lie wrote me the most impassioned letters, and I thought it my duty to make him happy by using similar language. Then, according to your statement, in the course of three or four months the antipathy which you felt to wards him, and which made you think of flying to Smyrna, was succeeded by feelings of gratitude, tender ness, and affection ?—Yes. Now, explain yourself respecting the sending of the cake or cakes ; for it is alleged that there was but one, and that that was about the size of a small plate ? I can only affirm what I have said before. I put three or four little cakes in the box ; of this I am per fectly sure. Then you think that the witness who stated the con trary, on whose testimony so much reliance has been placed, has stated what is false ?—No ; I do not say that. But I speak the truth. The last question of importance put to her was, whether there was any one else she could accuse of the murder of her husband. Her reply was that there was not ; that she had suffered too much herself from the accusation, to think of bringing it against any one else. The first witness was M. Lespinaz, director of the Horse Establishment at Pompadour. His deposition was insignificant. M. Laffarge, he said, was good tempered, and his wife treated him with affection. M. Bardon, the physician, was the second witness. He was called in on the sth of January. Found M. Laffarge ill and weary, his face red, hoarse, excited, thirsty, and frequently vomiting. He was told M. Laffarge had an indigestion from eating truffles. Mdme. Laffarge asked him to order arsenic to kill rats. Laf farge vomited faecal matter. He ordered alum for the inflammation of the throat. He saw a white powder, which he took to be chalk, on a whey that Madame Latiarge had prepared for her husband. He as sisted at the opening of Laffarge after death. Ho did not find grains of arsenic adhering to the stomach. There were red spots, and one large, black, and gangrenons spot towards the bottom of the stomach. Several liquids examined pre sented no sign of arsenic. The whey and watergruel did presents signs of it. The tissue of the stomach, ana lysed, gave sulphate of arsenic, so did the flannel. He could not say whether it was arsenic or egg which caused the white spots on the surface of the whey when he sew it presented. He tasted it. It was sour, but could not say positively it was arsenic. He did not believe in poison having been employed till after the death. He heard the mother of Madame Laffarge complaining that she was prevented from attending her son, and declaring that she would attend him, in a resolute tone. The Judge here questioned Madame Laffarge, who said the quarrel arose from her forcing her mother-in• law, who had sat up all night, to go to bed. The quar rel was a friendly one. Here the Judge observed that M. Bardon represented the tone of the mother to have been very resolute, which was not likely in a friendly altercation. M. Bardon here said he had said resolute, and not very resolute. Madame Laffarge has asked him to get arsenic for her, without any mystery. She asked for it openly, in the chamber of the sick man. He thought the quarrel between the two Madames Laffarge pro ceeded from rivalry as to who should have the upper hand in the house and family. Arsenic could not be absorbed into the skin from flannel by friction. Laf large was rubbed with the flannel. M. Jules Hespinatz, a physician, was the next called. On the President asking him if he had any doubt as to M. Laffarge having been poisoned, he replied," None." The examination of some other medical men brought the day's proceedings to a close, and the Court ad jturned. MM. Dubois and Dupuytren were appointed by the Court to make fresh experiments. EMEUTES 1N PARIS. PANIC ON THE BOURSE. (From the Paris Correspondent of the Morning Post, dated Monday Afternoon.) Rumours have been current for the last two or three days that the operatives would resort to some act of violence this day. I was, therefore, by no means startled when, at ten o'clock, I was told Om se bat.' The Faubourg St. Antoine and the Faubourg St. Mar. ceau were indicated as the scene of action. I drove off there directly. On the way to the Bastile I remarked that the Boulevards were almost deserted, not present ing the slightest indication of Monday, a holiday for French worktven. On reaching the July column, I found various groups assembled, and the houses com manding a view of the Faubourg St. Antoine was crowded with spectators. Across the street itself was a half squadron of cavalry (municipal), but no at tempt was made to stop vehicles. On going down the Faubourg the signs of strife were visible. Shops all closed, companies of infantry posted every twenty-five yards, and excited workmen, indicated that a sti uggle had been taking place, or was to take place. From in quiries I learned the extent of the affray had been con fined to the seizure of an omnibus and the erection of a barricade near the Asylum of the Enfans Trouves. Charges of cavalry had cleared the streets of obstruc tions, but it did not appear that they had been at tended with any loss of life. In short, I saw enough to convince me there was danger for the night. It was asserted that the journeymen upholsterers and cabinet makers were at the head of the movement. On my re turn to the Bourse, at half-past two, I found the drum mers beating to arms in all directions to call out the National Guards. I was told that great assemblages had taken place on 'the southern plains of Paris, near Villejuif, and that an attack was expected. Quarter to Five o'Clock, All is quiet, but the shops are closing in every direc tion, and the Boulevards are crowded with military. The National Guards do not turn out. We have had a fearful panic on the Bourse. The Fives fell 6f. 25c. for Cash and for the Account upon Saturday's quota tion, and the Threes 3f. 35c. for Cash, and 2f. 85c. for the Account. On the Bourse it was rumoured that this fall was not produced by the emcute, but because war Was con sidered inevitable. Indeed it was said that the French Cabinet would resort to this step or tender their resig nations. Railroad shares all declined considerably. (From the C orrespon d ence o f t h e Times—same date.) " This day symptoms of revolt were perceptible at an early h our i n that very f orm id a bl e q uarter the ter rible Faubourg St. Antoine,' but down to this moment the mob have not been able to raise a regular barri cade, and without one they can offer no resistance to the troops. They made several attempts, however, to construct works' by overturning omnibuses and other vehicles, but the troops were on the alert and imme diately defeated them, making several prisoners. " The rappel was beaten in all the arrondissements, and by four o'clock a large detachment from each le. gion m a r c h e d on the menaced district. The intended rioters, intimidated by this immense show of means, crossed the river (I am informed;, and proceeded for • that district equally renowned' in the fastes of the first 7 - 6 where " It is more than prob a bl e that the measures taken by Government for repressing any enzeute will be suc cessful, but the aspect of the city is more menu„ ai ! than at any period since the revolution of 1830. The whole workiag, population is either iavolved in this af: fair or predisposed to enter into it. Excitement a nd alarm are universal. In many parts of the to wn the shops are already closed. , The streets and widows arc filled with curious.' Under my windows, wheites i eb face a cerain Finkle budding, .ire tw9 cavalry vide of the National Guard. I make this observation, because one par t of tbe intended programme of he insurgents is said to be to fire all the theatres, manufactories, and other public buildings, and make a Moscow of Paris. This is, however, too atrocious to be credited, and would be imprac• :cable. In fine, there may be some disturbai but there is no danger of any geeeral insurrec tioo,4 least I hope so."
