FROM A CORRESPONDENT. 03 Sunday night last a most melancholy occurrence happened at Roundhay, near Leedv, by IN U:h the life of a ferow-creature was sacrificed. The particulars of the case, so far as they have at present transpired, are as follows : Roundhay is a pleasant village, about two miles from Leeds, and occupied almost exclusively by gentlemen of large property, who, within the last few years, have built many splendid mansions there, and during the haat fort night many of these mansions have been beset with bur glars, who in one or two instances have succeeded in their objects, thereby creating much fear and alarm to others, who have been kept constantly on the watch. Amongst ' other residents of distinction is William Nicholson Ni cholson, Esq., a gentleman of large wealth, and a magis trate of the West Riding of the county of York, and it is this gentleman, who has unwittingly imbrued his hands in the blood of one of his own servants. The game keeper, it appears, had been indulging too freely in liquor, and, ;nstead of going about in his master's grounds, had sat himself down upon the steps in front of his master's house, falling asleep, and it is supposed had accidentally jolted his head against the panel of the door. This jolting or knocking attracted the attention of the family, and Mr. Nicholson and his butler, first arming themselves with guns, came out to ascertain the cause. On going round to the front door, they observed a man, to whom Mr. Nichol -20 I called cut, and, receiving no answer, he discharged a double barreled gun at him, the contents of one of the bar:eis entering his body. This man, who was taken for a robber, turned out to he Mr. Nicholson's own game keepe:, echo, on receiving his master's shot, raised his gun to attack the assailing party, supposing them to be either rabbets or poachers, and was just about to fire when he reccgnised the butter, and of course desisted. The pear telLw was afterwards conveyed into the house, and medical assistance procured, but all the remedies apelied proved unavailing, as he died about three o'clock on Tues dey (yes:ere:ay) morning, leaving a wife and four small children to lament their irreparable loss. As may readily be imagined, Mr. Nichoison was horror-struck on finding, out his mistake, and h as s i nce b een i n a state of mind bor dering on distraction. These are all the particular; we have yr t been able to learn, but as the inquest on the body was to be held en Tuesday afternoon, we expect to have a full detail of the circumstances connected with this tragical event by /Le next Fat.

METROPOLITAN INFIRMARY for the CURE of STRICTURES of the URETHRA, GONORRHCEA, GLEETS, SYPHILIS, &c. This Insti tution is closed, but as the Surgeon of it feels assured that there are hundreds suffering under the diseases, to the cure cf which it was especially devoted, who would gladly avail them selves of his professional assistance, rather than place them selves under the charge of chemists, or, worse still, have re course to any of the dangerous and inefficient nostrums daily advertised, he has made arrangements to see patients at his own residence, at the mere expense to the patient of the neees sary medicine. Thus persons of limited means have now an opportunity of securing for themselves a mode of treatment that, whilst it is based on experience, is regulated by the pecu liarities which their own cases and constitutions may require; thereby freeing themselves from the absurdities and dangers that wait upon the employment of one kind of medicine for all forms of these diseases, without regard to these essential particulars.

The Earl of ABERDEEN, in presenting a pe tition in favour of his Church Bill, alluded to the rhodomontade of a Mr. CUNNINGHAM, who had described it as pulling the Redeemer from his throne. Will the ATTORNEY-GENERAL prose cute such nonsense as a blasphemous libel ? A little conversation took place on an Arms Bill for Ireland, which serves only to show how greedily Tory Peers, like Lord CHA RLEVILLE, listen to idle tales, calumniate a people, and de • nounce useful public servants ; and how terribly these Lords are already alarmed at the consequences of Lord STANLEY'S handy Legislation. The Church-rate question was adverted to by the Bishop of NORWICH, on presenting a petition against Church-rates from Norwich. The Right Reverend Prelate stated that lie thought the Dis senters ought not to be taxed to pay for the luxuries of Churchmen's worship, but they ought to pay to sustain the edifices. The Bishop of EXETER concurred with his Reverend Brother, the late de cision of the Court of Queen's Bench having in spired even this Prelate with sentiments less arro gant than formerly. The Archbishop of DUBLIN presented a peti tion against transportation, and submitted a motion to their Lordships, that the punishment of trans portation should be immediately, completely, and finally abolished. The Right Rev. Prelate en forced his well-known and enlightened views with much solid and terse argument. The Marquis of NORMA NBY opposed the mo tion chiefly on the ground, that if transportation were abolished it would be difficult or impossible to tell what to do with the criminals. In fact, criminal jurisprudence finds itself at a dead halt ; it is ashamed of the cruelties it commits, and of its inability to prevent crimes, all its schemes have failed, and there is a hopeless prospect for society if it cannot find something better than the present mode of punishment to deter men from vil lainy. However, great improvements have been made in other departments of human knowledge, and why not in criminal jurisprudence ? The Noble Marquis not knowing what else to do with the motion moved the previous question. The Bishop of EXETER, while he applauded the motion, recommended an application of funds to provide religious instruction in the tenets of that apostolical church of which he is so enlightened an ornament as a panacea. A short but interesting , debate ensued, which is well worthy of serious at tention, and which ended in the previous question being agreed to without a division. Their Lordships then adjourned. The New Zealand Company Bill was read a second time in the Commons. The Weever Churches Bill was also read a second time, after a strong opposition, and a division, when 242 voted for it, and MS against it. The Bill goes to appro priate the surplus funds of the River Weaver Trust to building a church or churches. The advocates of the Church have a great horror of appropriating property destined for one purpose to another, but their horror ceases when the appro priation is to the Churcle---•that is, to themselves. Well-principled men I The Portsmouth Floating Bridge Bill was read a third time. After the Report on the Committee of Ways and Means had been brought up, the adjourned de bate on Lord STANLEY'S Bill was resumed by Mr. DILLON BROWNE. A dull debate ensued, which was not much relieved by the prepared impromptu platitudes of Sir G. SINCLA IR, nor by the usual escapades of the renowned Col. CONOLLY. Mr. DILLON BROWNE properly reminded the House of the great number of the Catholics, and of the danger which might result from oppress ing them. Mr. J. YOUNG testified to the fact that political partizans wholly disregard morality, and on that ground voted with his party. Mr. VILLIERS STUART said the Bill would destroy the representation of the people, which re commends it to Lord STANLEY and his friends. Mr. WM. ROCHE spoke the opinions of his constituents when he opposed the Bill, and asked for the Ballot. Sir GEORGE SINCLAIR was great in an attack on Mr. O'CONNELL, against whom most of the speeches of the STANLEY faction, like the Bill, are directed. Lord CHARLES RUSSELL meant well in oppos. ing the Bill, but did not make an effective speech. Mr. H. GRATTAN proved that Sir G. SIN CLAIR was rot shot proof, and had once been a Whig and a patriot. Mr. GRATTAN also dealt some hard blows at some other renegades. Lord POIVERSCOURT declared that the Bill was popular with landlords in Ireland, that fraud pre vailed at the elections, and that the Bill would as similate the law in the two countries. Mr. C. WooD explained why he, not now being Secretary of the Admiralty, meant to vote with Lord STANLEY, and the to-office-progressing Tories. We regret the falling away of a gentleman to whom we had given the credit of being staunch and true. Air. MORGAN J. O'CONNELL made a very creditable speech against the Bill. He happily ridiculed Sir G. SINCLAIR, and demonstrated by the Report of the Fictitious Votes Committee, that the Tory landlords give leases containing a clause subject to be revoked at six months' notice in order to make their tenants vote as they please, and furnish them with a pretext for voting against their consciences. The landlords who thus suborn perjury by wholesale, are to have more power under Lord STANLEY'S Bill. Colonel CONOLLY avowed that the landlords wanted the Bill to make the tenants completely subservient to them. Mr. Proem', the Solicitor-General for Ireland, showed that, under the name of an annual revision, the Bill provided for an annual re-investigation of every man's right to vote, however often proved, and subjected that right to be investigated on appeal by four tribunals, a mass of vexations quite enough to sting the Irish into madness. Scorpions produce such pestiferous effects. Lord Howlcx, in order to preserve the consist ency of the House of Commons, sacrified his own. He voted against the second reading of the Bill, and now votes for comideting it. If every other Member had followed the Noble Lord's example, and had " turned his back on himself," the decision to read the Bill a second time would be undone. It only wanted, therefore, a considerable number of Metnl;ers equally ready to I turn round with Lord Ho WICK to carry Sir Wm. SOMERVILLE'S amendment. We cannot forget the Nobl e L or d' s sp i r i te d denunciation of the Irish Church, of which" he last night reminded the House ; we are willing, there fore, to believe that lie continues to be a friend to Ireland, but lie took a strange way to show his attachment, by voting for a Bill which is intended to drive her crazy. The Noble Lord thinks, however, that the majority which he is vot ing to make arrogant and powerful will consent to mutilate their Bill in Committee, and in that hope he sacrifices his reputation. Sir la. 'WILDE, the Solicitor-General, opposed the Bill, because it went to throw obstacles in the way of obtaining the franchise, and would impair the Reform Bill. If it went into Committee, every clause would cause a battle on principle, and it would waste the public time. On his resuming his seat, Mr. HUME mved that the debate be adjourned till this day. Mr. O'CONNELL seconded the motion, and the House divided on it-127 voted for it, and 431 against it. Mr. HUME appears then to have moved the adjournment of the House, which gave rise to an attack on Lord JOHN RUSSELL, by Lord IN- GESTRIE, and a defence which made the latter apologise. to 91. The adjournment was lost by 375 Again Mr. HUME moved the adjournment of the debate, which, after a deprecatory speech of Lord STANLEY, in which the Noble Lord com plained sadly of public business being interrupted, was agreed to, and the debate and the House were both adjourned a little before Three o'Clock. Lord STANLEY in 1g ~ 33 proposed as the price of the emancipation of the negroes, to lend the planters 15,000,000/., but on their representation he converted that loan into a gift of 20,000,0001. On that occasion he yielded like putty to the slight pressu re o f the opulent West Indians. He is not, therefo re , always i:nplacable, always imperiously self-willed, always truculent ; he only exhibits these amiable qualities when the Catholic slaves of Ire- ON DUN, WEDNESDAY, MAY 20, 1840. We turn from Lord STANLEY to Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S hearty and vigorous speech, and right glad were we to find the Noble Lord stigmatizing the system of registration adopted in England as harrassing and vexatious. So it is felt to be by almost all the electors. Many hundreds of them think the franchise, overborne as it is by the land lords' dependents, and by corrupt freemen, dearly bought by the vexations of the registration. Now, that it is properly stigmatized in Parliament, no representative of a vexed and harrassed English constituency will dare, we should hope, to rote for its extension to Ireland, and so deprive us of the chance of redress. One passage of Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S speech almost delighted us. He reproached the Tories with " regarding the man as a public enemy who asked for the franchise ;" he condemned them for " cunningly trying to diminish, abridge, and ulti mately to destroy the franchise." The Noble Lord, then, is a friend to the franchise, and cannot regard him as a public enemy who seeks it. Such language is well calculated again to reconcile the almost alienated people to the Whig Government. Would to GOD we could say that the Noble Lord bed acted consistently up to his words ! But, un fortunately, the Government has actually treated as enemies those multitudes who have sought, though somewhat rudely, an extension of the franchise. A promise to extend it two years ago, a hope that the Government would extend it, would have stifled the Convention, and would have prevented the country from ever hearing of those lamentable outrages by which it has been disgraced. To mourn over " fair occasions gone for ever by" is now useless; we must take care to profit by them when they again occur. S uc h l anguage has heretofor e e n li ste d, in the cause of the Whigs, many vigorous pens and many noble hearts, which have afterwards sunk or grown nerveless, as Lord JOHN and his friends have fallen back on the Tories, have avowed their hostility to the Ballot, refused to concede an extension of the franchise, and have proclaimed the finality of corruption by proclaiming the finality of the present imperfect system of representation. 'There is very little news of the least importance in the French Papers of Monday. ,Early in the day ridiculous reports of the illness Pf the KING, and the arrival of the Duke of ORLEANS maimed at Toulon, were maliciously circulated, to the great alarm of the .:itock-jobbers, but they were contradicted before any evil resulted from them. In the Chamber of Deputies, on Monday, the question of the renewal for twenty-five years of the Bank Charter came under discussion. "If the Bank," says the Courrier Francais, " would re duce its discount to 3 per cent. on bills of the first respectability having three signatures, and to 4 per cent. on paper with but twu signatures ; if it aug mented its capital as it extended its operations, did gratuitously certain Treasury business, reformed its statutes so as to place them in harmony with the recognised principles of credit, the Chambers might grant the monopoly which it asks, but not otherwise. From what the Bank is here required to do our readers can themselves infer in what it falls short of public expectations. The investment of Morella by EsPARTERO was fixed for the 11th inst. The n umber of pieces of artillery to be employed amounted to eighty-two. The garrison amounted to 1,500 men, and the place was regarded by the ablest Carlist engineers as impregn a bl e . It was stated that CA BRER A had thrown himself into the town, resolved to defend it to the lost. - - The Madrid papers of the 11th state that the Liberal minority, consisting of from forty to fifty Members of the Cortes had resolved to quit the Chamber in a body, rather than vote the Muni cipal Law. The Five per cents. were at 28i for cash. Leters from Alexandria of the 27th ult. state, during the six previous days, eighty-nine cases of plague, of which forty-five proved fatal, had occurred. Lord KEANE had arrived there on his way from India, anti was honoured by two long interviews with the Viceroy, the secondbeing strictly private. It was supposed that the Viceroy hail ' land are concerned, whom, in spite of all experience, he persists in treating on the arrogant old English persecuting principle. He disdains to listen to their prayers. They have assembled in great mul titudes and have petitioned Parliament. The Re• presentative of all Ireland, the chosen organ and champion of the Catholics, and the majority of their Representatives in the House of Com mons, are all against Lord STANLEY and his Bill, but that lie disregards. He sets out on the principle that they are all priest-ridden and per jured ; he refuses, therefore, to listen to their prayers, and treats the whole nation with contempt and scorn. Acting on that principle, which he and his friends are at no pains to conceal, and which at once convicts them of being wholly unfit to legis late for a free people, he imagines they are to submit in quietness to his measures, and he and the Tories hold it to be unreasonable and ungentlemanly to question his motives. Equally Silly and arro gant, he insists on the Irish regarding that as a noble metal which the West India planters found to he no better than putty. He begun his speech on Monday evening, by pretending to treat with contempt Mr. O'CON NELL'S remarks, but knowing now acceptable a subject is the abuse of that gentleman to the whole Tory squad, the greater portion of his speech was devoted to exposing Mr. O'CONNELL'S inconsis tencies. He pretended to despise the Hon. Mem ber for Dublin, but his remarks showed he was writhing under Mr. O'CONNELL's words, and that all the cheers of his biggoted abettors availed him nothing, while that Hon. Member could beard him in the House, and command the confidence of his countrymen. Most of the Noble Lord's ilhistra tions of the present system were draw n f rom M r . O'CONNELL'S speeches, and the anecdote which told the best was borrowed from him. Without Mr. O'CONNELL Lord STANLEY could neither pro pose a law nor find arguments, and . both his Bill and his o ration are the nobl es t homage yet paid to Mr. O'CONNELL'S power. Called on to give proof of the effects of the pre sent system, besides extracts from Mr. O'CON• NELL'S speeches, the Noble Lord could only sat that on the Dublin Register there are 19,000 names, while there are only 9,000 bona fele electors; on the Longford Register theme are 2,900 names and only 1,400 electors, Sec. But though changes have taken place, and the old names still remain on the list, it does not follow that a single improper person actually voted. The Noble Lord subse quently gave three cases of individuals who had voted improperly, who, having lost their qua lification while they still remained subject to all the burdens of the State, only demonstrate the gross absurdity of making the franchise depend on conditions totally extraneous to their rights as men, and their duties as subjects. Better illustrations of the folly of making a man's rights depend on his possessions we have not met with since we read the story of a man losing his franchise by the death of his ass. We will quote the cases, and our readers will then, we think, conclude with us that if' Lord STANLEY had meant to deal fairly, honestly, and justly by the Irish, as a law-maker ought to deal with the people, instead of jumping to the conclu sion that an annual registration is necessary to pre vent such tmn from voting, he would at once have acknowledged that the principle of the franchise was a greater fraud on them, though enacted by Lord STANLEY, than any that CARROLL and CARLY Were guilty of:— Two persons, named Timothy Carroll and J. Carly, were registered in October, 1832, for lands which they held from Mr. C. White ; Mr. C. White died in 1833. At the election of 1834 these two persons attended and voted against Mr. Vigors, and took the oaths." " At the death of the late Lord Forbes, in December, 1836, a vacancy occurred in the representation of the county; that he stood, and was opposed by Mr. Luke White, and that Mr. Luke White was returned ; however, he petitioned against the return, and on his petition was seated; that there was a tenant of Mr. Maloney's, who held his land on a lease on the life of Lord Forbes, or for twenty-one years. But he was registered in 1832, arid had voted. Now the death of Lord Forbes was matter of notoriety—it was that which had created the vacancy— yet this man had been told, I will not say by whom, that his vote was good, because the time mentioned in his lease had not expired, and he had actually voted," We have done with Otis most mischievous politician, whose arrogance, supercilious contempt of his Catholic countrymen, want of judgm en t and discretion, eke all made extremely danger ous to the conkMunity by a species .of ready ad captandam eloquence, extremely well adapted to the heated and shallow partisans, yclepzd law makers, to whom the Noble Lord adapts his dis courses. La Valletta." EXTRAORDINARY EXPRESS FROM PARIS: DEFEAT OF THE CARLIST FORCES. Intelligence has just been received from Paris of a defeat sustained by the Carlists on the frontiers of Ar ragon. The town of Cantavieja was attacked on the II th by General Ayerbe and finally taken, not, how ever, before the Carlists had set fire to it previous to their relinquishing possession. The capture of Canta v:cja is likely to prove a severe blow to the gradua declining resources of the Carlists.--•Herald. ,tIDLOW ELECTION.—The nomination is fixed for Thursday (to-morrow), and the polling will take place Oil Friday. The candidates are Mr. Larpent, Liberal, and Mr. B. Botfield, Tory. The impression among the friends of the former is, that he will be returned by a majority of twenty.

His Excellency the Hon. Ralph and Lady Mary Abercromby arrived at the Admiralty, on Monday, from a visit to Lord and Lady Duinfermline, at Stubbing Court, near Clieste.:field. Mrs. Yates, the actress, is said to be labouring under a severe indisposition, and symptoms have shown them seves of an incipient dropsy. A lady asked Mr. Jekyll, " what was the dif ference between a solicitor and an attorney." " Precisely the same," he answered, " as between a crocodile and an alligator.", TIIE WE ATI - lER.—Yesterday, from morning till night, was the fast dry dly we have had after a week in which rain was the rule and fairness the exception.-- Glasgow Herald. AMA LTHUSIAN PARISH. --In the course of an inquest held on Tuesday in Marylebone, and the jury being somewhat tardy in assembling, Mr. Wakley, M.P., observed that he found less difficulty in getting a jury at the village of Perrivale, Aliddlesex, though in that parish there were only thirty-two inhabitants, and not a sufficient number of inhabi tant householders to constitute a jury. In it there was neither public-house nor beer-shop, and in the reign of Charl es th e Fi rst it contained 26 i n h a bi tants, increasing only by six souls in the space of about two hundred years; yet the parish was Lilly seven miles distant from Oxford-street. CONVICTIONS FOR COCK-FIGIITING.---TtleS day Mr. Andrew Wake, an opulent inhabitant of the town of Uxbridge, appeared before Mess: s. Dagnall and Newdigate, the sitting Mngi. trates, on summons at the instance of Mr. Thomas, the Secretary of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, for having on Easter Monday last assisted at a cockfight which took place at Cowley, in the parish of Hillingdon. The case having been heard, the Bench said it was their firm determination to put a stop to such disgraceful scenes, and in all future cases they would inflict the full penalty. The defendant was then fined in the sum of 50s. and 103. costs., which he immediately paid. Mr. George Clayton, also a resident of Uxbridge, was also summoned, and the Bench fined the defendant in a similar penalty, which was paid. the Parliamentary inquiry into the admi. nistration of the currency by the Bank of England is proceed ing, it may not be unprofitable to consider the position of many of the issuing banks in the north of England, and par ticularly in Yorkshire. These Companies, projected as they were when times were good, and ,carried on without due c'iscritnination, have been the cause of much embarrass.. ment. They induced numbers of the inferior class of traders to extend their business at a moment, when it was thought, from a variety of symptoms, to be more prudent in mercantile men to contract. The parties thus backed, who have entered into speculations requiring capital, have found that, in the hour of need, they have no sure foundation to rest upon, for the banks that have advanced them funds beyond all bounds, cannot afford, during a scarcity of capital, to continue their accommodation, and therefore sales of commodities must be forced at inadequate prices. The banks, naturally anxious to divert attention from their own indiscretions, and to conceal their own weakness, charge the Bank of England with reducing the circulation and bringing down prices, affecting of course to forget that their customers have been compelled to part with their goods at a low rate on account of the inability of the Joint-stock banks of issue to repeat their favours when money was to be obtained only upon the first class of securities. The policy of issuing backs has unfortunately led them to make undue ad vances to individuals who have had no resources to fall back upon in the event of the miscarriage of their speculations; and if, in consequence, both the banks and their customers suffer, it is clearly ow i nc , to the m a l- a d m i n i stration of their affairs, and not to a n y acts e ' of the Bank of England. It will no longer answer for parties in their predicament to endeavour to mislead the public by at :empt ing to saddle upon the Bank of England the responsibi lity of evils which have resulted entirely and exclusively from their own delinquencies. The trick has been thoroughly ex ploded, and when resorted to it will, for the future, be consi dered rather as an aggravation of their previous misconduct than the contrary. In these, as in ordinary eases, it is essen tial to the success of persons making serious accusations against others that they should come into Court with clean hands. Mornin g Pc.it. ROYAL PASTIME.—This same Empress was very fond of the Countess Tchernicheff, and frequently ordered her into her pt esenc; , , to divert her by amusing conversati on. This poor l a d y b ecame, however, exceedingly unwell, and h er legs swelled so violently, as to make it quite a martyrdom for her to stand. The Empress, never conceiving the possibility of a subject being tired in the presence of her Sovereign, qnd not swishing to deprive herself of the entertainment she expe rienced in her society, for a long time saw her suffering before her eyes, without offering the slightest relief. One day, how. ever, perceiving her ready to faint, anti vainly trying to support herself, first on one foot and then on the other, yet still forcing her spirits into gaity, the Empress took compassion An her poor fa vour i te, and said, " Thou mayst lean up in that t a bl e, and Anna Ivanovna (her Majesty's chief attendant) shall stand before thee, and screen thee from me, so that I may not I see thy attitude.—Mentoirs of the Princess Do :v c/dm. entrusted Lord KEANE with a confidential commu nication to Lord PALMERSTON. FIRFS IN GERSIANY.—The town of Baja, one of the most flourishing of the Banat, situated upon the Danube, at the junction of the Francis Canal with that. river, was almost totally destroyed by fire on the Ist of May. Baja was one of those places whose rapid growth testified the rapidly increasing prosperity of Lower Hungary. It counted 16,000 inhabitants and 2,000 houses, of which 1,700 are consumed. The number of fires is very remark. able, and is probably occasioned by the dryness of the shingle roofs, which are so common in Germany, and which, warping in the sun's heat, catch flying sparks with ease. Thus the town of Indenburg in Styria, Pforzheim in tile Grand Duchy of Baden, Kremmen, near Berlin, and Sondheim. on the Rhon m: , untains, have within a few days all been destroyed by fire. BAVARIAN LAW OF COPYRIGIIT.—A recent Number of the Bavarian Official Gazette contains the law for the protection of literary property, passed by the recently dis solved Chambers. The stipulations arc, the preservation of the copyright of works of literature and art to the author's heirs for thirty years after his death. If the author be represented by a corporate body, the reservation is only for fifty years from the date of the publication. Persons pirating are, in addition to the indemnity to which the author is entitled, to pay a fine, varying from fifty to a thousand florins, to the Crown. The Act includes all the new mechanical means of multiplying works of art— Daguerrotypes, galvanic attraction, &c. Letters from Monte Video announce that'Arana, one of the Ministers of Rosas, accompanied by Mr Mandeville, the English Consul, at Buenos Ayres, had had a confe rence with the French Admiral Dupotel on board the Acteon. Arana declared, in this interview, that if the blockade were raised his Government would accept the proposals made by M. Nicholson. in the name of M. Mar tigny, in which case Rosas would not be re-elected Pre sident ; but it does not appear that Admiral Dupotel is authorised to conclude any diplomatic arrangement. Oa the 7th March entire tranquillity prevailed, the militia and the civic guard had been discharged ; there remained in the town ono( a very small garrison. The army under Rivera was at Duranzo, and was going to set out on its march for Entre Rios, in order to join Lavelle at Bagada. A French flotilla, consisting of a corvette, four brigs, and several smaller vessels, had ascended the river Parana, in order to co-operate with Lavatla in his attack on the Ar gentine territory.—Le Constitutionntl. We have received to-day letters from Malta of the 6ai of May.

The Governor of Malta published ou the next (lay the following proclamation " The Governor has the satisfaction to give notice that having received official inrormation of the removal of the embargo laid on British ships in the ports of Naples and Sicily, his Excellency has immediately revoked the or der for the detention of the Neapolita❑ and Sicilian ships in the port of this island, arid has directed that all the ships detained shall be set at liberty.
