EVENING E DITION. MR. G. P. R. JAMES'S NEW NOVEL. Just :eadv, in post Bvo., TH E nAfs AT ARMS; Or, HENRI DE CERONS. By G I'. R. JAMES, Esq., Author of " Darlile," "De L'Orme," " Ch—rles Trrell," &c. Richard Bentley, New Burlington-street. PUBLIC MONEY " A GUINEA A FOOT." TO the COMMISSIONERS of the PRIVY COUNCIL on NATIONAL EDUCATION—IN SFACTORS of SCHOOLS—MOTHERS of FAMILIES —BOYS of a LARGER GROTH. The undersign'd has inspected the SECTOR or compass of proporticnal parts supplied to the children of the Navigation and Grammar schools by those professing to teach Lit and fur olislfd from mathematical instument sellers—self-styled makers of the "foot SECTOR RULER" in Ivory, Etc., as packed in the isual show-agree'rr eases : ALIKE unto those on sale at all the most eminent shops in the METROPOLIS—The undersign'd perceives the necessity for a Rectification in its scale in order that it '.nay retake its station in Science as the " Ready Reckoner" of the Commercial Mathematician and stay to the human intellect. His views, thereon, give occasion for these rams rks on the SECTOR, so called, Now before the public : as not being the ONE for nurneric. , l use. To THOSE unaccus to'.n'd to scrutinize " the line of Numbers" as being remark may with a pair of Dividers easily discover THAT the (L.) lime for tenths length-wise in 10 Equal parts—The LC] ischord elf 60o—the (T.) for co-plea Tangent in-cube 45° and 'th'_Equa-tell quarters of 90" in sign erect, of position for Az'- zENITH—(S)—EQ'ante distance (under present assigcment) are generally made, to conform to the eye : BUT malheureuse ment , the intersectional divisions of this spurious tool in voge, for testing the multipliecation table work, by aid of the old rule of three ratiocination, NEVER can harmonize with the laws of Divine proportion as their a portage, are in shameful error and not agreeing with the fundamental basis of Arithmetick know ledge. A true divided SECTOR in the hand of a youth from the age of eight upwards is as entertaining in :use, as it is instructive by precepts—giving him a firm footing in progress, and a happy issue to all his under takings in Science. The undersign'd, therefore, offers ONE GUINEA gratuity to any workman, as the maker, who will, on or before the Ist day of October, 1840, transmit to him a duly season'd Boxwood Sector [made of, and from a trf a cut in " Woodfall-tide," as without Sap I, graduated to twelve inches, bearing in mind that the most lasting wood is " ox," for this purpose, should be in colour—a dead yellow —like unro a half-burnt brick. The FOOT-RULE SECTOR. now wanted for equation, must have thereon, the integreal parts, and all the smaller intermediate division% perfect in their :generation from, and their relation to, the Circle of 360. Also on the outside edge, as formerly, a scale of a foot, divided into 100 parts. The attestamental aver to the accuracy of the said rule shall be the common MULTIPLICATION TABLE, " as is s Note murehe upon note'tion," even as Nine times Nine. The person who gains this prize shall not only have the re ward, but the advantage of a public acknowledgment of his merit—besides a lasting patronage from all the well regulated Seminaries for the Education of both Sexes. Mr. SHAW took the opportunity to defend his conduct. Mr. PIGOT, the Solicitor-General for Ireland, in sisted on the necessity of holding sessions more fre quently in Dublin, and denied that he ioteaded to do that indirectly which he could not do directly. The amendments persisted in by the Lords were theu agreed to by the Commons. The amendments made by the Lords to the Loan Societies Bill were ordered to be taken into considera tion on Monday. Their Lordships' amendments to the Commerce and Navigation Bill, to the Irish Population Bill, and the Irish Church Temporalities Bill, were agreed to. In reply to Mr. OSWALD, Mr. LABoUCHERE said that he could not tell whither the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Packet Company would be allowed let ters patent and limited responsibility. The Board of Trade would investigate the question, and act accor ding to the minute it had puplished. On the motion of Mr. W. ATTWOOD, returns of the amount of the dues levied by the Trinity House on vessels were ordered. The Lords' amendments to the Ecclesiastical Duties and Revenues Bill were ordered to be taken into con. sideration this day. The House adjourned at a Quarter past Six. The reported interview between Lord PALMER STON and Prince LOUIS NAPOLEON, upon which so much stress has been laid by the Courrier Fran cais, turns out to be a mere fiction—a figment of the brain of our French Contemporary. Lord PAL MERSTON did not visit the Prince, neither was he visited by him, either at Carlton-terrace or else where. No such meeting as that described by the Courrier Francais was solicited by the Prince, or contemplated by the Noble Foreign Secretary ; and as we find the French Press so eager to impute un worthy motives to every supposed act of our Go vernment, we cannot, in justice to ourselves, with hold the information from them, that were we ac tually at war with France we would not have re course to any measure for setting aside the reigning dynasty. Besides, is the French Press ignorant that the madman Prince Louts NAPOLEON'S hopes of ascending the French Throne is based on his sympathies with the faction opposed to the alli ance with this country ? Was it not to take the initiative in an energetic declaration of war against England that lie made the insane attempt upon Boulogne ? What are the recollections of the em pire but the deadly strife of two nations, now hap pily at peace ? These things are well known to the people and the Government of England, how ever little they may be understood in France. With respect to the conduct of Prince Louts NAPOLEON, we can only, in charity, attribute it to insanity. His scandalous abuse of the hospitality of this country is only equalled by the perfidy of seizing an occasion to invoke, in favour of his accession to the French throne, the Bonapartist hatred of England. But however much the French people were inclined to pardon the mad ness of the attempt at Strasburg, the generosity of the King of th e F RENCH i n spar i ng hi s lif e , an d t h e national sentiment which dictated to his Majesty the entrusting his own son with the removal'of the ashes of the Emperor from St. Helena to Paris, will have greatly abstracted from the commiseration entertained for the nephew of NAPOLEON in the character of a rebel candidate for an Imperial Crown. It is our conviction, however, that the Prince is insane ; and we are of opinion that the French Government will best consult its interest and dignity, by confining him for life in some lunatic asylum. To allow him to go again at large would be the excess of folly ; and nothing would be gained by shedding his blood. That he bas forfeited his life no person will dispute, but the ORLEANS dynasty will acquire more strength by pardoning than by bringing such a madman to the guillotine. In conclusion, we take leave to assure the French Press that the attempt of Prince Louis NAPO LEON upon Boulogne is not viewed with more de testation in France than in England. By no party or faction in this country are the Prince's preten sions viewed with the shadow of partiality. That he is a madman is the universal impression. Aug, 7,1840. (Sign'd) CHARLES ACKERLEY.

There is, therefore, no longer a hope of detaching Austria from England to counterbalance the strength of the alliance opposed to the views of France. Nevertheless the French Ministerial Journal affects to find in the sudden pacification of Syria a new element of strength on the part of France. Had the insurrection proved successful, the Constitutionnel admits that France would have found her position an extremely false one, as she could not assist the Pacha in re-conquering the Syrians without falsifying the principle of her own glorious Revolution—that a nation has a right to choose its own Government. The Constitutionnel, however, overlooks the important fact that the submission of the Syrians is only conditional ; and that by the very terms of their submission they ate in reality not more the subjects of the Pacha than they are the subjects of France or England. They are to pay no more tribute than they choose ; they are to retain their arms, and so be in a condition at any moment to assert their independence ; and. no troops are to be levied among them by the Pacha or his Generals, to serve either in Egypt or Syria. For the fulfilment of these stipulations, which on the part of Mehemet Ali virtually amount to an abnegation of the sovereignty of Syria, the inhabitants further insist that the Re presentatives of two Foreign Powers shall be gua rantees—thus constituting them guardians of the liberties of Syria. Where then is the ground for French congratulation—or in what essential point is the question modified, much less changed, by the pacification of Syria ? As it is in vain to hope that France, at the eleventh hour, can be persuaded to reunite with the Four Powers, and thus give the world the as surance of a lasting peace, we do not see in what way she can more usefully or honourably employ her influence than in persuading the VICEROY to submit with a good grace to the decrees of an ab solute necessity. Hostilities on her part are out of the question. The French nation must, on reflec tion, have too much good sense to go to war with England, in or,ler to promote the dismemberment Of the Turkish empire. Syria is the right arm of Turkey, and were it lopped off, every remaining limb would soon be appropriated by claimants, with pretensions as valid as those of MEHEMET ALI. The Pachalic of Bagdad, the Principality of Ser via, the Hospodariates of Wallachia and Moldavia, and the Provinces of Roumelia and Anatolia, would be soon discovered to be useless appendages of the Turkish Empire, more properly belonging to Egypt, Austria, Russia, and Greece. Th e prin ciple of rebellious appropriation set on foot by the PACHA, and supported by France, would only terminate with the complete absorption of Turkey in the States by which she is surrounded. We are much gratified to find that the French Journals of Thursday are still more moderate in their language than those of the preceding days. The Constitutzonnel commences its extracts from the London Papers with an article from The Sun, in which moderation was recommended to the Press generally, and we are well pleased to find that the accredited organ of the French Government deems our advice worthy of being followed, and has itself set the example, by apologising for the previous vehemence of our Parisian contemporaries. The following extracts contain the little we find in the shape of news in these_ Papers:— A letter from Toulon, dated August 1, states that the harbour is in continual movement. The three-decker Le souverain, was ordered to complete her equipment. The line of battle ships the Vile de Marseilles and the Scipion were ordered to increase their force to the war es tablishment. Admiral Hugon was expected immediately in Toulon. On his arrival he would hoist his flag on board the Tri ton and sail for the Levant, Orders had arrived from Paris for the steam-boat Tartare to sail for the Le vant with new instructions for the Admiral commanding the fleet on that station. This packer-boat was to touch at Tunis, and to direct Vice-Admiral Rosamel to sail for the Levant with the three ships under his orders. When those ships, together with the Triton and Scipion, should have joined Admiral Lalande, he would have 14 sail of the line under his orders. THE CHAMBERS.-The Constitutionnel contradicts the report that the Chambers were to be called together in September, and st.tes that the time for as,emblnig they.. was not yet fixed. In Pails the heat has become intense. On Thursday, at two o'clock, the thermometer marked 90 degrees ul Fahrenheit. The Madrid papers of the 3011 ult. contain no news The Queen was expected to return to the capital by the 15th of August. The Stock Exchange was firm. The Five per Cents. were done at 27A- cash, and 27i at sixty days' date. The Unives s says. " \Ve are a-surcd that Mehemet Ali has not obtained the submission of the S:rians hut on terms which are rather hard, granting them a kind of charter, for which the) are said to have required the gut_ ranter of France and England, which the-e two powers have provisionally given " The Journal des Pyrenees Orienlales of the Ist of August, states, that the Spanish battalion formed by Lieutenant General Casteiiane, now amounts to 600 men The Portajcplio, of Malta, gives the following state m, nt from Constantinople :—" Persons who are will in formed or what is pa.sing affirm that the Porte talks of peace while it intends war It only wants to gain time, and the d ffererices are further from arrangement than ever.

It is said that the Court of Spain will shortly return to Madrid, and that General Eipartero will accompany her Majesty, and enter the capital two days before the Queen It is added that the army will continue to be united.—El Castellano. The Journals of the frontiers of Catalonia say that the tranquillity of Barcelona is still very precarious.

It was surely enough for the Queen to leave him perfectly un res!rained in the formation of the Government; she was right not to allow her teinale friends to be taken from her —not to endure an act of oppres-ion which the meanest woman in her kingdom would have struggled . gainst. Her firmness of character will gain her many partisans, particularly among the women, and, fur my own part, I am delighted to see a Queen show that a monarch should not be a mers puppet, an empty symbol, a political machine, to he wound up, set a. going, and allowed to stand still again. according to the will of another. There wis no sufficient political ground for a de. wand that she should part with her female associates; it was an ungentlematilike demand ; and the Minister, who has a majority in the two Houses, or knows how to acquire one, need not be frightened by a handful of old women ; no, nor of young girls either. The Queen, impelled by a quick feeling of justice, rightly scouted these abstract party notion s . G od speed her fart-er !" Von Raumer's Italy in 1839. The Phare of Bayonne has news from Madrid to the 30th, which represents that capital as being perfectly quiet. " The latest news from Barcelona (says that Journal) announces that the two Queens were to leave that city on the 4th inst., but that it was not known whether they would pro. teed direct to Madrid, or visit the Navarre and Basque pro vinces on the= road.

As no boat appeared in this affair, and but one person attended the cart, there was nothing in the least likely to attract attention, or to excise the suspicion of the sentinel. The scheme accordingly succeeded so well, that it might have escaped detection altogether, had not the secret been entrusted to a woman. One of the Dover smugglers, in the exultation of success, confided their stratagem to hi , sweetheart, and the damsel in turn betrayed it to a more fa voured lover, who happened to be an officer in the Coast Block ade Service. This, of course, led to a discovery and seizure of the next cargo, and two of the plastered tuhs were immediately sent along the whole line of blockade, to put the offic , rs and sentinels upon their guard against any repetition of the strata gem United Service Journal. PRACTICAL LESSON ON THE METHOD OF SAVING A PERSON FROM DROWNING. —Ina recent num ber we gave a copy of instructions to swimmers as to the mode in which a drowning person ought to be a.?i,roached. A case occurred on Sund ay morn i ng last, ei:,,rig a practical illustration of their value. Mr. William 1 ,,a1t, an expert swimmer, who, we understand, lately ce. n eted for a medal, awarded by the Glasgow branch of ** no : -:l)ational Swimming Society," went into the Frith t .:O bathe, near Kempoch Point, Gourock.

Concert commences at Six. If, as has been frequently asserted of late, the Catholics and Dissenters are annually increasing in numerical anti moral influence, the high Protestant Church of England has only herself to thank for such increase. Her folly is their strength. By the encouragement which she secretly and openly gives to the abuse of all creeds but her own, she drives thousands into the arms of heterodoxy, who, other wise, would never have dreamed of abandoning the faith in which they were reared. Now,why cannot the old Lady keep a civil tongue in her head ? Why not pocket her tithes in silence, and leave Dissent un molested ? 'Surely it is not necessary, in order to maintain her authority, that she should go abcut, like a brawling termagant, abusing and making mouths at all who do not belong to her own commu nion ! A man may refuse his assent to the Thirty- Nine Articles, yet, for all that, be a very un • impeachable Christian. He may revere the POPE more than the Archbishop of CANTERBURY, and swear by ST. PETER, in preference to ST. PH I L L POTTS, yet, notwithstanding this, be as accept able in the eyes of Heaven, as the sleekest bishop that ever closed the eyes of an orthodox congrega tion. But Mother Church says, No. All who are not for me, she exclaims, are aiainst me ; and being so, they are—ex necessitate rei—against reli gion, against morality, against legitimate govern ment and social order. Do we assert this without warrant ? Alas, the anti-Catholic crusades of those itinerant quacks, O'SULLIVAN and NPGHEE ; the frequent ebullitions of intolerance at Exeter Hall ; and, more especially, the episcopal charges and furious party pamphlets of Dr. PH IL POTTS ;—all these things abundantly prove that, The LORD CHANCELLOR, the Earl of CLARENDON, in Mother Church's estimation, no man is religious, and the Earl of SHAFTESBURY, as Commissioners, yes- no man moral, no man a good citizen, who does terday gave the Royal Assent to a great many Bills not pin his faith on her lawn-sleeves, agree to her including the C ana d a Clergy Reserves Bill and other - Bills of impo r t ance . - exactions without a murmu r , swear t h at s h e i s in- A number of p e titi ons was presente d , amongst w hi c h fallible, and damn all w h o thi n k ot h erwise ! we ma, mention one from Mr. BEEourN, Editor and What has suggested to us these observations is an Prop.ietor of a Newspaper called the Ballanee, corn- Anti-Catholic Meeting which took place on Thurs. pla,,ning of the harsh and ruinous treatment he had re- day itt the Collegiate School of Finsbury, at which ceived from the Governor and Council of the Mauritius, meeting, after a prayer had been read by the Rev.

DUTIES (LONDON.) Mr. E. J. S 7 ANLEY moved that the standing order, No. 20, be suspended with regard to the Coal Duties (London) Bill, Mr. HA WES opposed the motion, and said he should take the sense of the House against it. Mr. WARBURTON said there could be no haste with regard to the present Bill, which could not coma into ope satin for several years. He therefore sugges.ed that the Bill be withdrawn till the next Session of Parliament. Strangers were ordered to withdraw, and the House di. vided, when there appeared— For the motion Against it Majority The announcement of the numbers was received with laughter and cheers. The 818 was then read a third time and passed. Mr. HUM E presented five petitions praying for the re lease of all political offenders, from places in Norfolk and Suffolk Mr WARBURTON presented a petition from certain farm labourers of Coombe, in Cambridgeshire, complaining of rctions having been taken against them fur exercising their rights of common. Also a petition from Mr. Robert Owen, complaining that his political and social opinion,. had been grossly misrepresented, and praying to be heard at the Bar. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL presented a petitior, from the pri,or,ers confined in York Castle, praying relief. Mr. HU:VIE gave notice that early next S ssion he should move the appointment of a Select Committee, to inquire into the treatme,3 of prisoners confined for poll• tieal olfenees. Mr. ENVART inquired whether the Hon Ut.der Se.. ctetary for the fiGme Department had auy objection t o lay on the table the report of Mr. Hickson, one of the lo spectors of hand-loom weavets for the Midland Districts? Mr. FOX MAULS said the repeat would not be ready fer some da)s. ECCLESIASTICAL DUTIES AND REVENUES BILL. On the motion of Lord JOHN RUSSELL the Lords' amendments to the Ecclesiastical Duties and Revenues Bill were read. Lord JOHN RUSSELL then said that as ho did not consider the Lords' amendments would deteriorate mate rially from the , fficiency of the Bill, he proposed general!) that they should be agreed to. After a few words from Mr. LAW HODGES, Sir S. LUSH 1 NG TON objected to the retaining the honorary canons and giving the Church patronage; and also to the Lords' amendments relating to the minor canons. Some other amendments had been made to the Bill whicn he thought exceedingly inconvenient, but as it was de sired that the Bill should pass at once, it would not be come him to offer any opposition to them. Whenever the Bill came to be amended, which it undoubtedly must be, be booed the claims of the Minor Canons would not be forgotten. Mr. HL'ME was of opinion that the amendments had entirely changed the character of the Bill. As it stood at present, it merely created a sort of aristocracy or peerag, in the Church. He thought the better way would be to rej,et the Bill altogether. Sir E. SUGDEN regretted that the provision witi regard to minor canons bad been so much restricted. Lord JOHN RUSSELL could not accede to the pro. position of the Han. Member for Kilkenny to reject the Bill entirely. He would, however, propose to re-establish the clause relating to minor canous, as it seemed to be the desire of Ron. Members on both sides of the House. - • Mr. HUME thought that provision the least exception able in the Bill. The amendments were than, with the exception above alluded to, agreed to with a few verbal alterations. Messengers from the Lords brought down the Eccle siastical Courts Bill, in which their Lordships had made certain amendments, and a variety et other Bills to which their Lordships had agreed to. ( - LEFT SITTING.) ARRIVAL OF THEIR MAJESTIES THE KING AND QUEEN OF THE BELGIANS.—phis morning, a little after ten o'clock, the King and Queen arrived at the Royal Dock-yard, Woolwich, in her Majesty's steam packet Widgeon, commanded by Captain Hamilton. The Royal party and suite embarked at Ostend at 10 o'clock on Friday night, aad were received, on their arrival at Woolwich, by Lords Lilford and Lennox. Their Majesties, escorted by a party of the Royal Horse Artillery, commanded by Lieutenant Gilbert, proceeded to the Green Man Hotel, Blackheath, where they took refreshment, and thence continued their route to Buckingham Palace. DIEPPE, AUG. 5.--Their Royal Mal - messes the Duke and Duchess of Nemours arrived at Eu ° yesterday evening. His Majesty and the Queen of the French are ex pected there to-morrow. It is said that during the sojourn of his Majesty at his marine chateau, he will be visited by . M. Cluizot, the French Ambassador in England. Two Govern.. ment steam-vessels are stationed at Trepot. The London and Dieppe s.eam•packet arrived yesterday morning, but brought very few passengers. FATAL OCCURRENCE.—A dreadful occurrence, involving the loss of two lives, took place at an early hour yes terday morning in this town. Richard Marchant, a fisherman, proceeded with two young men named James and Thomas Wheeler, ore of whom was his son-in-law, and another 'Lan, to remove the soil from a house situated in Bunker's Hill, a pa , sage running out of West-street. In perform ino• their work, one of the Whee.ers descended the pl ace to ° take out the soil, which he then handed up to his com panions. The night was intensely hot, and the effluvia of the place so great, that the young man found himself over powered. He called to his brother above to help him out, that he might get some fresh air. His brother instantly descended for that . purpose ; but it is supposed that the noi.ome vapours from the soil were also too much for him, and falling against his brother, both of them lost their hold of the ladder on which they were standing, and fell into the soil, which was ten feet deep. Marchant beheld the accident, but he was so overpowered by the dreadful sight that he stood motionless and speechless. The other man, who remained outside with the carts, finding that the soil was no longer brought out, entered the place and aroused Marchant fs om his stupor. The unfortunate old man then hastened to descend to the rescue of his relations, but he was unable to lift either of the bodies up, and had he not been quickly draw n up wou ld have perished himself. A policeman who had been called in then descended and drew forth one of the bodies. In his se cond attempt he failed, from the dreadful stench, but descended a third time and succeeded. Both the you ng men, however, were quite dead, and were conveyed to the Town Hall, where they await a Coroner's inquest. They ate both, we are sorry to and, married men, with large families. Marehant was so affected, and suffered so much from the bad air, that he is dan gerously ill.— Brighton Herald. CORONER'S INQUEST.—An inquest was held vestertlay before Mr. W. Carter, at the Battersea Union Work- house, Wandsworth, on the body of William Cripps, who incau tiously got on the line of the Southampton Railway, as the four o'clock train was coming, his foot caught one of the plates, and he was thrown down. It was impossible to release him or stop the engine in time. When the train had passed, he was raised up, and life was not quite extinct, but he died almost imme diately, the hands and legs of the unfortunate man were nearly severed from his body, and he had also received dreadful in juries in the stomach and other parts—Verdict, " Accidental death." THE MOORS.-Some of' the most experienced gamekeepers in Galloway have given it as their opinion that grouse or greyfowl, although remarkably strong in the wing, are much weaker numerically than in the olden time ; not, however, from any disaster attached to the hatching of the pre sent season, but from causes that have been in operati on f or a 'number of years. Muirburn used to be alleged as the leading cause of decay, even where the rotation was pr e tty regu l ar ; but fresh obstacles to the extension of the feathered population have sprung. up and are gradually extending th e i r range , i n the shape of tile-draining, subsoil-ploughi ng , an d b one manure, applied to heights previously consigned t" cattle and sheep—im provements which are changing more and more the general aspect of the country, and confer' trig marked agricultural dis tinction on the nineteenth century. But. a large remnant of greyfowl remains ; moor partridges and hares still abound in the south of Scotland, and better than al!, blackeocks have in creased to such a pitch, in the parish of Minnigaff and other wilds, that no fowler delt in his art, t eed despair of very splen did spirt, season 1840.—Dumfries Courier. DESTRUCTION AT MACHINERY —On Fri day morning a steam engine of great power, at Mr. Hall's silk factory at Coggleshall. was from some cause at present unex plained, deranged in its move.nents, when the beam crank and several of the pumps were broken and damage was sustained, we are informed, to the amount of 'spwards of I,oool.—Chelms ford Chronicle. ChIN ESE NARCOTIC.—The above (huff, al though grown to a great extent in India, yet is not productive of so much injury to the heaith and morals of the peop!e, as has been so clamorously misropreser.ted. Neither is the con sumption of opium throughout India anything like what it has been made out to be. There is a powerful narcotic pant, known under the name of &tang, which the natives pre fer to the former drug, and which they indulge in largely. A long habit of using this herb eventually produces in sanity, and, ultimately, death. The Chinese immi grants, colonising in Calcutta, are great consumers of baang, and it has the effect of eNciting them to pug. nacious moods, by bringing into operation their very worst passions. Whenever a fierce affray take* place between the two Colonies of Calcutta and Coringha, it has been invariably observed that the malcontct.ts have been labourng under the perniciou s influence of this narcotic weed, a vast quantity of which is smuggled into Chiita by native " sur darogahs." This drug and the use of " subjee," an intoxicating drink. concocted by the natives from vatious aromatic herbs. has hqen_ known to be . productive of more mischievous and destrue tive effects among the people in six days, than has the use of ovitita f9r as 41104 OM. - Manchester and Leeds Ditto New Shares.

W e have n ceived the ta.lowine; versinn of this insan , r f.oal a gen 1. man wl.o left Boulogne yesterday morning at seven o'clock. Though it gives some details which were previously known, the information, being that of an eye-witness, will be read with interest :- 1 " BOULOGN-SUR-MER, AUG. 6, IS4o.—Wimeroux 1 Is a small village, about two miles and a half from Bou logne. The party that landed from one of the Commer .i vial Steam Packet Company's vessels, th, City of Edina. burgh, consisted in all (including two grooms d Every servant) of Fifty-sev , n Persons, headed by Prince Louis NapoletiO nuonaparte, General Count. Montholon, General Voisson and uti dal major. They diAributed tneir proclamations to every body they met, and strewed five franc pieces to a rabble who preceded them. The above-mined, and ahout five or six other effieeis, one of whom bore an elegant and richly decorated flag, with the golden eagle on the staff, and about thirty men, all dressed in ne*thi)itaty tinitotm,exactlyeorr,spooding with the regular French troops, nillifaity eaps ( No. 40 in front), and knapsacks, landed very early in the morning in the boat belonging to the steam-paC:St in eight different trips, and of course without tiny interfere,,:ce on shore and crossing over the heights, entered the town o! Bou logne about five o'clock, with about fitty raggamul/in: crying out " Vive l'Bitipereer I" and marching down the different streets of the lower torrn towards the upper town. The inhabitants, hearing the drums of the Na- tional Guard, were alarmed, and closed the gates to pre vent their entering at the top of the Grand Rue. The Prince and his companions then proceeded round to the Calais-gate, which was also closed against them. It appeared to be their intention to obtain possession of the citadel on the ramparts, where the powder and am munition are kept, and which would have become an easy conquest, having one or (at most) two sentinels to guard it. Foiled in this, they proceeded along the Calais road to the Colonne de Napoleon, which one of them en tered by breaking open the door at the foot, and mounting to the top, placed their flag upon it. By this time a few of the National Guard made their ap pearance with their muskets and bayonets fixed, but did not approach very near to the insurgents, not hav ing collected a sufficient number to attack them s after which, from some cause or other, a few of the Buona partists detached themselves from the main body, and were some of them soon captured, others making their way down to the sea-side in hopes of getting on board the steam-packet, which by this time was taken pos session of by the harbour-master and about ten armed men, who went out in a boat, went on board, and brought her into harbour. Prince Louis Napoleon, and about five other officers, with the principal part of his comrades, then marched into the town a second time, and immediately went to the caserne, or barracks, at the gates of which there was one sergeant and one sentinel with whom Ole Prince had a short parley, and called upon them to shout ' Vive l'Em pereur which they answered by shouting Vive le Rai !" and the sergeant immediately drew his sword, when Prince Louis Buonaparte immediately presented and fired a pistol at him, which was warded off by the sergeant, and the ball lodged in the neck of the sentinel who stood close by him, and who died in the evening. The Buonapartists had only swords and some few pistols to protect then.selves, evidently expecting a large party to join them. " They then, from fatigue and other causes, got into disorder, but Prince Louis Napoleon and a brother officer went on to the porch and went into the Permit office, came out, and were in a few minutes captured with all his party then present, taken before the Mayor, Al. Adam, sent up to the citadel under a strong escort, and placed in different apartments, which took place about half-past eight o'clock. Amongst the party who separated at the column were General Montholon, his aide-de-camp, and about eight others, who got down upon the sea sands, took pos session of the life-boat which attends the sea-bathers, and were launching her into the sea, when they were closely pursued by the National Guard, who fired into the boat, which was immediately capsized, and they were all immersed in the water, but not entirely out of their depth. Two of them were brought out of the water and takeu into the lodge of the Humana Society, being severely wounded ; they died immediately. That fine old man, General Montholon, before he was out of the water offered up his sword, but he was immediately shot at and severely wounded by a bricklayer, one of the National Guards, and taken away to the hospital, with little chance of recovery. " One of the officers met with a gentleman on horse back on the sands, and put a pistol to his body. and de sired him to dismount and give up his horse, which the gentleman did. The officer immediately mounted and rode away, but he was closely pursued by the gensd'armes, and captured a few miles before he reached St. Omer, brought back, lodged in the citadel, and the horse taken to Gregory's livery stables. " Several others of the party were brought in in the course of the day, who had secreted themselves among the standing corn. " The steam-packet brought in with her a handsome green travelling carriage and a caravan, which contained all the military dresses, tips, knapsacks, &c., also eight, very fine horsee. The horses were landed as early as convenient. The carriages remained on board in pos session of the douaniers, armed with their swords and muskets with fixed bayonets. " The master of the steam-packet, Captain Crow, the mate, and the engineer, were taken under an escort, of soldiers to prison about seven o'clock, and about nine o'clock the rest of the crew were also sent to prison to await examination before the Juge d'liistruction. " There are also on board four barrels filled with 40-franc pieces in gold (otherwise called double Napo itins or Louts.) " Prince Louis Napoleon has also, contained in a bolt on his person, twenty thousand pounds sterling in Paris bank bills, which he is allowed to retain. " Same of the Buonapartists concerned in this mad attempt are very well known at Boulogne ; their names are not yet published. " BOULUGNE, 6 O'CLOCK, A. 7.1., 7TH AUGUST, 1840.—1 t is reported that seven are killed or drowned, exclusive of those wounded. Annexed are copies of the placards stuck up about the town, and distributed to the inhabitants. Boulogne is perfectly tranquil, with out any apprehension of further disturbance : PROCLAMATION OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF BOULOGNE. INHABITANTS OF BouLooNEI—A madman, uncor rectea by the first check a loch he received at Stras bourg, and into whose heart the generosity of the King (who remitted the punishment he had then incurred) has been unable to instil any senti ment of real honour, has attempted this morn ing to excite an insurrection amongst you, by in voking the illustrious memory of the great man whose name he prostitutes. Accompanied by some old sol diers, led astray by their ambition, and about fifty men in the uniform of soldiers, but not having the honour to belong to our brave and faithful army, he landed at the break of day, at Wimereux, at five o'clock in the morn ing; his partisans spread abroad in the several streets of the town, knocked at the doors, distributing incen diary proclamations, and throwing handfuls of money, the price with which they hoped to purchase a merce nary devotedness ; as if you—all of you, poor as well as rich, workmen as well as tradespeople—could ;be in spired by any other sentiments than pure love for your country, your devotedness to the institutions by which you are free, and pure attachment to the dynasty which reigns by the will of the nation. At halt-past five o'clock Prince Louis Buonaparte was at the barracks, where he hoped to seduce the brave soldiers of the 42d Regiment, and there with the same hand that had just sgned his mad proclamation to the army, he tore off the decoration of a captain, and fired his pistol at a dis armed officer. The weapon was turned aside, and the ball destined for the chief wounded a soldier in the cheek, and he is now lying on the bed of anguish. Thus the first act of this man, who spoke of honour and glory, was an act of cowardice ; the first proof of his sympathy for the army was to insult it in the per son of an old captain. _ _ .

Honour to you!—honour to our army so faithful ! honour to that. noble institution, the National Gaard, against which all the attempts of faction are destined to break I And we also say, God protect, God save Francc !

Everything has continu e d q u i e t h er e until 0 1 ,40 t ment, nor do I anticipate any outbreak this eve t o l i i rg during the night. In tact, the Napoleonists publicans meditate to strike another blow; t. l3° o a meet with a warm reception, as troops are ear, here this evening from St. Omer. It is evident that this plot has had deep t!, l tensive ramifications, and, from what has oce° l 4, ,ts° is now evident that the disembarkation was et 1101 1 early or too late.
