for the impression so studiously endeavoured a be spread through the public mind in England, that Franca entertains hostile feelings towards the Powers engaged is Eln•se rragenient a ; an I I trust and belies e that the momentary difference of opinion between us is not likely to lead to any untoward results. France is a great and powerful nation. France has great inte rests of her own. France is governed by men who are mach too wise and too enlightened to be led rashly and wantonly, and without provocation, to disturb the peace of Europe ; and I am con seicus that there has not entered into the minds of the people the slightest feeling of hostility— they are conscious that England is desirous nf making common cause with her, and 'altogether I h ive good reasons for saying that I by no m ans parti ipate in the apprehensions of the Hon. Member for Kilkenny. The objects, means, and motives of Great Britain have been explicitly stated to France, and I believe that my Hon. Friends and myself have satisfied that country as to the enlightened n ,cure of our views. The course we have thought A our duty to pursue is, in my opinioe, the best calculated to prevent the unfortunate events that have lately taken place in the Levant becoming seriously in jurious to the general peace of Europe.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. LEADER thought the House and the c ountry were much indebted to the Hon. Me mber for Kilkenny for having elicited the statement they Lad just heard from the Noble Lord ; but he believed that there was a very strong and hostile feeling in Franca that they had been betrayed and insulted by the other Exropean rowers on the Eastern question. He understood that there was a want of official courtesy in these negotia tions towards France, and that the French Representa tive was not apprised of the day when the treaty was to be signed, so as to give the opportunity of arguing it ort the last hour, or of urging reasons for a further delay. Now that, in his opinion, ought to tve been done ; it had natural:, egeited unpleasant feelings among the people of that country, and these feelings were directed entirely against Great Britain, The French conceived there was something like tree. chary in their giving up the alliance with that country, and ji,inin,g the other despotic Powers against her. Nothing could compensate fk r a b:e ey tekiag place between England and France ; for so long as they re mained united, the peace of Europe could not be dis turbed.—( Hear, hear.) He would, in conclusion, say on behalf of the English nation, that there was no feeling whatever of hostility towaids France. The English people were too deeply impressed with the advantages and importance of maintaining heir friendly relations with France—( Hear, heap)— and he trusted that nothing would ever occur to disturb the union between these two countries. He hoped the Noble Lord would assure the House that no affront, such as he had stated, had been put upon the French nation. Lord PALMERSTON—France has been re peatedly told that it was the desire of the other Four Powers that she should be associated with them in any Convention that might be entertained for the pacifi cation of Turkey and Egypt.--(Hear.) It was fur ther stated, that if France did not agree with them they would be obliged to act without her.—(Hear, hear.) Plans were proposed by the various Powers (including France) and these were one by one re jected, and it is only after negotiations have been going on for three months that the present Conven tion has been agreed upon. When the draft of the Convention was submitted to France, she dis tinctly seated that she could not agree to it. The Four Powers then determined that they would cr. ry their own arrangement into effect. If the Four Powers in said to France, "We are now going to do this without you, unless you will now accede," it would have been looked upon as a threat—it would have been, in fact, an insult to France, to suppose that she would recede from an opinion deliberately expressed.— (Hear, hear.) The same course has been pursued in this instance that was pursued by France and England with regard to the dissentient Powers in the affair of IlAgium.—(Cheers.) Mr. LEADER did not of course wish for anything in the shape of a threat to have been held out to France, but he regretted that she had not been made acquainted with signing the Convention. MUNICIPAL CORPORATIONS (IRELAND) BILL. Messengers from the Lords stated that their Lurd• ships desired a Conference with this House to-mor row on the Municipal Corporations (Ireland) Biil, at half-past four, in the Committee-room No. 5, which was agreed to. FOREIGN AFFAIR 3. Mr. BRISCOE said that throughout this country there was but one opinion as to the desirableness of keeping at peace with France, and maintaining an inti mate alliance between the countries. He had the greatest confidence in the Foreign Secretary, who, during the last ten years had maintained the peace of Europe without sacrificing the honour of the country, and he thought the foreign policy of the Ministers en titled them to the gratitude of the country. The motion was then withdrawn. BRITISH MUSEUM. Mr. AGLIONBY moved for certain returns re. lative to the British Museum. INFANT FELONS BILL. Mr. LANGDALE gave notice that, early next Session. he should move for leave to bring in a Bill to secure to infant felons the same religious advantages that were enjoyed by ber Majesty's other subjects. The House then adjourned at Eight o'Clock. HOUSE OF LORDS, AUGUST 6. The Loan CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woo sack at five o'clock. The Consolidated Fund Bill and the Exchequer Bills Bill went through a Committee. Mr. BERNAL and others from the Commons brought up the Administration of Justice (Court of Chancery) Bill, the Non-Parochial Register Bill, and other Bills.

On the motion of Viscount DUNCANNON, the Court-houses (Ireland) Bill was read a third time and passed. and Learned Lord thought that the petition would stand in the stead of the speech which he was accustomed to \ melee at the end o. the Session.—(Hear, and a lime.) The petition was just as unmeasured in its :anguttee— Ijust as unfounded in its assertions, as the usual closing speech of the Noble and Learned Lord.—(Hear, hear, and a laugh.) The petition would serve a 3 well as the speech might to fu:.dsh topics for discussion at Con servative dinners after the recess.—(A laugh.) The Noble and Learned Lord acknowledged that he had received the petition early in the Session, but it seemed that he had kept it back until this day that it m i ght serve the purpose of his Sessional speech.—(A laugh.) The petition was said to come from a body of opera tives ; but it was clear that the operatives had nothing to do with it. The style was sufficient to indicate the a uthorship.—(Hear, hear.) He did not say that the Noble and Learned Lord was the aut ;or. But if the Noble Lord would bring forward any of the accusa tions which the petition contained, he (Lord Mel bourne) would be ready to meet them. Lord LYNDHURST said that the petition was so complicated, that he thought it safer to read it in extcaso than to make an abetrect from it. He did not know whom the Noble Viscount remit to point to us the author of it ; but he could not mean to suggest that he (Lord Lyndhurst) was the author.—( Hear.) The Marquis of LONDONDERRY said that the Noble Viscount had replied to the petitions in a very jocose manner, but the Noble 'Viscount had not satisfied him.—( Hear, hear, and a laugh.) He bad predicted the failure of the first Quadruple Alliance in which Freeze was included. He aid not now find fault with the second Quadruple Alliance, but he must say that in forming that alliance tp the exclusion of France, her Majesty's Ministers seemed to hire !. 0 turn about, and wheel about, and jump Jim Crow."—(Latightee2) ge did not blame the Government for at last taking a more English course ie respect to France. He would have congratulated them if they 'pad done so sooner. lie hoped they would not shrink hem eftat Tartly course. He hoped they would not (ii he might use the lee gage cf a Noble relative of his) " turn their back upon them e selves."—e(4 laugh, and a very marked sensation , fol lowed by 'cries of P order.") The first Quadruple Al liance, c:!liela had produced nethieg, had pet the capi talists of this cauntry between gj and §Q millions sterling. It had cost the country twe millions sterling in stores supplied by the Gov,7nment—and ten thousand lives of British subjects had been sacrificed to no purpose under that treaty. The Noble Marquis then read an extract from the Edinburgh klelnew, which defended the foreign policy of the Goverement, and ha expressed his wonder that Ministers would allow their feelers to publish such stuff. He could not omit to express his regret that the unsullied order of the Bath bad been conferred upon Espvtero, whom he could not hesitate to designate as a traitor. There was one part of the petition which he could not agree with. He could not agree with the petitioners in de precating the alliance of this country with the Emperor Nicholas, whom he honestly helieted in his heart and soul to be the most upright, honest, acoomplished, and pious stateman in the world. He was glad that the Noble Viscount was desirous to preserve peace with France ; but he hoped he. would not allow this country to be kept in darkness as to the intentions of the French Government, as had been the case for months. Lord BROUGHAM said that the statements of the Noble Lord could not he considered out of order, whc ever other objections might be made to them, for the petition took in so wide a scope, that the Noble Mar quis, however widely he might range, could berdly make any remark which could be considered out of order. He (Lord Brougham) only rose to set himself right with their Lordships in respect to what he had said on a former evecing, and what he believed had been misap prehended. What he had said was that he should most deeply lament anything which should tend to shake, and still more to interrupt, the good understanding between England and France, which happily for so many' years had prevailed—(Hear, hear)—and, prevailing, ha d . pre served the peace of the world.—(Hear.) Lord DUNCANNON moved the Order of the Day for the consideration of the Commons amendments to the Irish Municipal Reform Bill. Lord L YND HU RST said that he would not occupy the House, by discussing, on the 6th of August, the questions which the House of Commons had re-opened on those amendments. All that he should do was to oppose those of which he disapproved. The amendments were then gone through, and seve ral were rejected on the motion of Lord Lyndhurst. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said that he had agreed to the amendment by which their Lordships threw out the clause relating to the delivery of gaols in Dublin, solely for the sake of carrying this important Bill. He was sure that in the House of Commons great sacrifices were made for the same object. But in the next session a measure would be submitted to Parliament for the purpose of giving to the people of Dublin more frequent gaol deliveries which a recent inspection of the prisons had shown to be very much wanted. Loud BROUGHAM trusted that a measure would be also introduced to exclude all judicial officers from the other House of Parliament. The Duke of WELLINGTON said that the House would be willing to consider any general measure which had not an air of personality.—( Hear, hear.) On the motion of Lord LYND HURST, a Com mittee was appointed to hold a conference with the Commons on the subject of the rejected amendments. The Pilots Bill, and the Population (Ireland) Bill, were read a third time and passed. The Linen Manufacturers (Ireland) Bill, and the Postage Bill, were severally read a second time. CLERGY RESERVES (CANADA) BILL. The Report of the Select Committee on this Bill was received and adopted, and the Bill read a third time and DOVER, AUG. 6. Lord LYTTELTON then moved the addition of a clause, to the effzet that the four canonries of Ely .hould be attach , tl to 01 , fift , n nr;;;- , :orsp , :: of 11:7 Wellington steam r, Cap'.

The Marquis of LANSDOWNE opposed the amendment on the ground th:it it wp.i; to infraction of the principle of the Bill, Lord CANTERBURY supported the addit:enai clause.

V l {ol4l THE SELECT — COMMITTEE' ON TRAFALGAR-SQUARE. The Select Committee aiipointed to inquire into the plan sanctioned by the Commissioners of •WoOds end Forests, for laying out the 'vacant soace in Trafalpar a satiaie, ia the kfatiOn'arr aria who viere ernpaWered to report their 'observations, together with the M'nutes of Evidence taken h -et '''' hem, to Ge (louse, have considered the matters to them referred, and ti t` e agreed to the follow 1 . y,,ur Committee Mast L.gin . by observing that the nature of the projeatcd works in Trafalgar square not having come under their cons i deration till after those works were begun, they found them se l ves i n a position less ad aairtagvac t is f:or ;; - 1F rffrP4nrc of ttte t 31:. which was placed in their hands, thaa had the field of been . . y completely disembarrassed. They endeavoured', howe:era to free their minds from all c t.raneous circamstances, and only to consider what would mo s t contribute to the ernbcl- .• lishment of that part of the toWn. ?. They felt that, tinder the terms of their appointment, all that was to he doile within th:a area of Trafalgar-square came within the limits of their inquiry, and that tht y s'iould have ill discharged their duty to the H ,use, and to the public, had they not aiver ed to whatever works were designed for that situation; a situation which is itidis, put:hly one of the n o bl es t i n the metropolis ,• an area tvhicli has been obtained at a g,rear cost, and the final deco ration of which must hap so large a ahare'isi determining the character of that eonspicuoua part of the cadital. 3. Your Committee will begin with adverting to the pl.in for laying out the area itself. They find that, so long as 1837, a plan for laying cut Trafalgar-square ti.a4 soh z mitt, d to and approved of hy the l a ords of the Treasury, • hut, for reasons do rot appear, was never began. In the course of April 1840, the plans supplied by Mr. 3arry for the same object were approved by the Woods and Forests, and are now in progress. The estimate to these works amounts to 11,000/ , independent of the pave ment cr the souare, and of es3tain ornaments of brolize, which; it; the judgment - of W. Parry, are deslr'ahle. The chief features of Mr. Barry's plan are, the ievellinar of the area from front to back, and the construction of a terrace 15 feet high, on the south side of the street, in front of the National Gallery. The affect of this terrace will be greatly to improve the appearatice of the National gallery, by giving it file elevation To: the wpt of rhieh It has bCen ehiafta censured. Mr. Barry, on being questioned by your Committee, gave it as his opinion that the appearance of the National Gallery might bo further improved, by con tatuing the order of pilasters through the whole length of the front, and relieving the Paidnesa of tee euaoia, hy en circling it with pillars, and giving it a bolder cornice ; which additions, he is of opinion, the existing walls would be capable of supporting. 4. Your Committee having satisfied themselves that Mr. Barry!s plan far laying op;; the groaad in l'i.nr4 cf ;he Naa tional Gallery was, under all the pirenmstances of the ease, well adapted to reconcile the various difficulties of the spot and attain the desired end, proceeded to inquire what ef fcct the column, which is about to be raised by the Nelson Committee in the centre of the smith side of the square, ' would hiVe upoiCthe how tar a adlumn of such dimensions would be seen to advantage in such a position ; and how far it would contribute to the embel lishment of that part of the metropolis. In order to assist their;a4gmp4 on this important point, they called before them several architects Of ieknowtedg4id me if, and availed themselves of the opinions of eminent sculptors and men of taste. These gentlemen were allowed an interval of two or three days to consider the subject ; at the end of which they 411 soot ;n her ppiziona in whiting. In the opinions of these gentlemen, as might be eapeetad l in a matter of taste, there is not perfect unanimity ' • but your Committee feel to have derived grea t advantage from having consulted them, and by carefully weighing their opinions and exa mining the principles upon which those opinion sare based, have arrived at chriclusionapf their qwq• - 5. Your Committee are iii"Cipinion that such a column so situated would have an injurious effect upon the Na tional Gallery, by depressing its apparent altitude, and in terrupting that point of view which should be least inter fered The ise.rebbis'ito of CANTERBURY thought the proposition of the Noble Lord Sn'exe;, , eningly 17,ft;. g ason 7 able, that he was surprised he should have made it.

Agreed to. The Bishop of C4OUCESTF I IIt objected-to the provision 144,-iiting the amount of Ineomp of the deans and canons ; he should therefore move the omission pf clause 65. The 4rphbislaop of CANTERBURY supported the clause. The Bishop of RIPON said if this clause were re jected the dean and chapter of Ripon would be almost without funds. The motion was negatived without a division, and the clause was agreed to. Viscount MEL BOURNE moved the re-introduction of clause lit, which was agreed to, The Earl of DEVON said that although the Bill had been much improved, yet still he objected to it. Lord LITTELTON considered this the most short si,9,:hted Bill that had ever been proposed ; it was throw ing away the only opportunity th 4. would perhaps ever be afforded them of placing the Church on a proper and primitive footing. Tne Bill was then passed. On the motion of the Marquis of NORM ANBY, the Population Bill was read a third time and passed. The Marquis of NORM ANBY moved the secpnd reading of the Stock in Trade Bill.—Agreed to. The Commons' amendments to the Constabulary Bill were agreed to. The Loan Societies Bill was read a third time, and passed. The Commons' amendments to the Church Discipline Bi:I were agreed to. RAILWAYS BILL. Their Lordships then resolved themselves iptp Com mittee on the Railroad Bill. The Earl of CLARENDON thought the clause preventing the appointment of any director of a railway as inspector, was unnecessarily hampering the Board of Trade. The Bill then passed through Committee, and waa reported without amerdments. AUSTRIAN TREATIES BILL. The Earl of CLARENPON moved the third reading of the Austrian Treaties Bill. The Duke of WELLINGTON thought it extra ordinary that the Government had not asked for an indemnity for a little lapse they had made before the treaty had been legalized. They had ac►ed illegally in a case at Gloucester ; their attention had been drawn to it in another place, and according to usual practice they ought to have asked for a Bill of Indemnity. The Noble Duke then moved a clause of indemnity to all persons engaged in the transaction alluded to, Viscount MELBOURNE admitted that the stipu lations of the treaty were in violation of the navigation Lws, and therefore he had no objection to the clause proposed by the Noble Duke. The clause was then agreed to, and the pill read a third time and passed. ECCLESIASTICAL COURTS BILL. 6. They are of opinion that a oofutun of such diutcn sions will render the sui rounding bui'dings less important, and, so situated, will not group well with anything in its neighbourbood. _ On the motion of the LORD CHANCELLOR, the Ecclesiastical Contempt Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed to-morrow, The Highway rates Bill was read a second time and ordered to be committed to-morrow. Their Lordships then adjourned at Eleven o'Clock. j They are of opinion that, as approached from White. hall, as seen et inp terrntnation of ttlis gran4 ayeni4e, which forms one of the principal entrances of the metropolis, the appearance of the National Gallery will be much injured by the column. In this point of view the column will cut the National eallery through the centre, and the pedestal of the column alone will nearly conceal both the portico and the cupola. 8. They are of opinion that the site selected is not a favourable position for the cnltimn it •e!f, 9. There is another point to which your Committee will advert, which is, that the statue of King Charles is not in a line with the column; nor could this defect, from the proximity of the two objects, fail to catch the eye. Sf.) low; ai there is no colul n in the proposed situation, the sta•ue of King ChaFit*, where it now stands, is a for tunate circumstance, offering a subordinate object, in front of the National Gallery, which serves as a scale, without ob structing the view. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S- YYSTERDAY. The room was but indifferently attended, several subscribers having left for Brighton races. A few of the unsettled Good wood accounts were adjusted, but many were still open. Business, in other respects, was too flat to require any intro ductory observations. Tif.E ST.

Your Committee, entertaining these opi n i ons , are unable to avoid arriving at the conclusion, that it is un ',e sirable that the Nelson Column should be placed in the situation which is at present Selected. if it is dei:irable in a great city to suggest the idea of space, and having once obtained space, not to block it up again ; if the gene ral architectural effect of Trafalgar-square, or of the buildings around it, is to be at all considered ; or if, at any time, an equally conspicuous position shoold hs , desired for any other !Itur- 1 4mqrat , the siiiiaslotl ht peereni selected for the Nelson Column is most unf ortunate. havin g . Your Committee h av i ng , arriv eu at this decision proceeded to inquire at what cost a change of pl 'n the ' position of Nelson'a c.:olemn e9Uld n w"be r:Ct r e l d i , and how far it would be consist et , t . w . th o interdict the blehon Committee good a.th n°'.3. tp wol kin the situation in whieh is evr io iril p e T:e ( c i .uting their 12. What has actually been done towani; the erection of the Nelson Column isno more than the excavation for the f ,untlation, and pouring in the Concrete which is to T'orm " bed for the masonry, the expense sit whi c h: in Mr. B a r r y' s opinion, weuld be more than covered by 1.000/. C mtrams, however, have been entered into by the Nelson Committee, a failure to complete which would suhject them to actions at law. It is not, hotvever, probable chat, if the same work were entrused to the tam;, persoes in another sitea tion, such actions would be instituted. The pecuniary loss, therefore, would not of itself entail so great a sacri fice as to preclude the idea of even now adopting a prefer able course. 13. ~ But it appears by the Treasury letter, beariou date 27th January, J 640, trim the Lords' of the Treas.:Ty have author-lard the Commissioners of the Weeds and Po. rests to deliver over the site appropriated for the Nelson Monument to the Committee for carrying that object into effect ; and according to the evidence of Mr . Scott, it up. pears th a t th e architect bas taken possession of t h e sit e , and has commenced the conerate and brickwerk of the foundation, in which con-iderable progress has been made, and on the compl, tion of which the Nelson Committee arc bound to nu the contractors the sqm of ?,000" 14. Your Committee C.lllnot doubt that the Lords of the Treasury, in authorizing the Commissioners of Woods and Forests to give that site to the Nelson Committee for the erection of the proposed colnmn, entertained the fuilest confidence that funds would be provided for carrying out the work in conformity to the plans and drawings which had been seen and approved ; and they feel they should bp wanting in their defy if they failed to direct the attention of the House to the fact that, according to the Evidence, the subscription is at present deficient tor the purpose, to the amount of some thousand pounds. Mr. Railton in formed the Committee that his estimate of the column amounts to 28.000/ , whilst the sum subacri;4linq olteeed 18,9004, tier does it appear that any well-grounded hope 4sts of any considerable addition. 15. It is true that contractors havit ~F , f4aged to complet e the pedestal anti the column for 15,0001., and the metal for the capital is e lPeCted to be supplied by the Ctrdeartea. Put your Committee submit that a paiishable statue of Portland stone is most objectionable; and supposing the terms of the contracts to be fulfilled to the letter (whiolt in works of such a magnitude is seldgill tlie Face), the re. maiein? 1.000?. is wh oi l y inadequate to meet the ex p ense of casting the capital, of obtainin such a state., as utight to crown the summit, and of providing the bronze bas_ g reliefs for the sides of the ped e stal, and the lions at the corners of the base. Even if the fund should orovc still. cient to complete the rnasoary, no statue can be r ased but or:9 of Portland stene, and the column without its has reliafs will remain a denuded mass, which, however will have a. mean eff ec t, iYth July, 1840.

SIR—In reference to your notice of Metropolitan Improvements, you think that those whose property is benefited should pay their share of the expense, I beg leave to inform you such is the rule in New York. Your's, G. N. E. HEY W DOD'S PROSECUTION. TO 7'HE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sir—The priests generally, and one in particular, have remarkably keen noses for smelling out what they denominate blasphemy," and with an apparently practised and accurate hand, pick out publications which aptly, as they imagine, illustrate their position ; they also make piteous lamentation at the laxity of the Government in allowing these " blasphemous" works to be sold in tho heart of the metropolis. Now, Sir, we are not very well agreed gs to the signification of this same word " blas phemy," but we do not differ much as to the meaning of ob, , cenity, and it strikes a person as being rather remarkable that these pious men can with such precision mark out a " blasphemy" shop, and yet in their road to it overlook so many shops where immoral publications are openly slid. The rational man will inquire which of these two classes of publications are most. likely to create bqd in 7 fluences in the youthful mind, and he will not be very long in determining ; perhaps, however, the priest may differ as much with the layman in his views of ob scenity, as the layman does with the priest in his idea of " blasphcmy," and then we must give the latter the benefir of his enr4 initiation in the virtuous details of Horace and Ovid. Why do not the priests direct the attention of Go• vernment to those haunts of infamy and vice where publications arc openly vended which pollute the very vitals of society, clearly because their trade is lint in. jured thereby, where the " blasphemy" books, as they are termed, open the ryes of the public and shako the mitres an the heads of the B shops. As to " responsibility," when a man pays money for a commodity he assumes he gets value for it ; therefore we must conclude that as the priests are well paid for their labours they ha ve wel l trained the people in the way they should go. if they have not, of course, as th e teachers of the peop le, the y must be held " responsi• blo" for the morals of the people.

Ile must afflicting part of my narrative is the follow ing :—Yesterday morning, early, there were fresh symp turni of agitation. Groups of people again formed in dif ferent pats of the city. Small parties of armed men were se, n amongst them —many with that peculiar mein and physiognomy observable in all countries during periods of popular efferveseenee,individuals whom one never sees but on sucill occasions. Tic of jest evidently was to seek and punish those who had uttered, or who were said to have uttered, the offen sive cries the night before. There was a young advocate who had b..come a mark for the fury of the mob; although, from all 1 can gather, he had not sent forth any such cry the evening before as had been attributed to him, viz , Death to Espartero." I have been told that he was the object of persplial animosity to an individual belonging to the extreme Liberal party, who bad on various occasions threatened him with violence, and that he sought him out t:stet-day rt - tot.ning, backed by the mob. Meeting him in the street, close to the house where the young advocate lived, he ins;ilted and attempted to arrest him. The young man refused to eurrendcr, warning his enemy that he hau two loaded pistols, and would shoot any one who might attempt to take him. But the other, with a howling mob at his back, rualied at Wm, and received a ball from one of the pistpls, which killed him at once. The young advocate then commenced his retreat towards his own house, pur sued by the mob; he fired the second pistol, and killed an other man. On leaching his home, he seized a double barrelled gun, and fired repeatedly from the wineow upon his assailants, killing five men and wounding several. The Governor of 13 ircelona snramaned hint tu surrender, but he fired on all indiscriminately, from the double- barrelled gun, trent a musket, and from his pistols. Finding it next to impossible to enter the house by the door- way, a party broke a way through the wall, an ar tilleryman of the National Guard being tho first to get through. The frantic gentlemaa had now exhausted all his amri4mitic i a, his only remaining defence being his two loaded pistols. Ile fired one at the artilleryman. and either severely wounded or killed him, and, placing the barrel of the other in his own mouth, pulled the trigger, and blew out his own brains. The populace then rtlshf.:,cl la, an ew the body out at the ri7dot:., earl C:4en dragged it through tl p streets, shouting aid hooting as they went along.

EGYPT AND SYRIA. (From the Private Correspondence of the Morning A doer oor.) A , ,u4olnata, JULY 24.—1 announced to you on the 17th instant the important information that the Pacha had completely suppressed the insurrection in Syria. As the probab-lity is that this will r eac h y ou fi rst, I shall recapie (elate all the particulars. The tqatteroao steamer reached here on the 16th instant, from Beyrout, bringing intelli gence of the complete defeat and disarming of the insur. gents, by a handful of Mehemet Ali's troops ; those re, eently despatched from hence, under the cmalatid of Abbas Paella, were not required- The ringleaders are to be sent here, as the Paella's orders wer e t o avo id bl oodshed as far as praetieable. The fleet, composed of Turkish and Egyp tians, also returned here yc:tei•day, and we are now look ing out for the arrival of the Nile steamer from Constanti. nople, with Sami Bey, who will no doubt be the bearer of important information. The Pepin (Government French steamer), arrived here yesterday, with Mons. Perrier, a F r ing'a Ter , , , s;yrig on ir - nard, who has accomplished the voyage in twelve days from Paris. Ile'idelivered his des patches to the Pact'', but it has not transpired what they contain. I shall now inform you of what has occurred since the 17th instant. The Elect?: strarror returned here this morning , from peyruut, ai,el leaves for Malta in the rneTninii. I informed you that the insurrection had been most effectually put down. I inclose you a copy of the official notice is-tied by this Government, restive to it, addirssed to all the Consul-generals. When the Elects Beyrout on the lAst, the Poweijui and Adinhuryk (ship' of tgp line), Castor frigate, and Cyclops steamer were there, hut what their object was no one seemed to how. The Paella has inquired whether it'was their intena tion to remain there ? If so, he should send an adequate force to watch them. So you will see by this that his I - 3ighmss had no ferq ascot meta. The Nile steam r beie this morning from Constantinople with Semi Ilcy on board, who is in quarantine. It would appear, however, that although the sultan had received him most handsomely, and expressed a strong desire that the differ ences should be settled, yet he has not been able to e ffect it, owiag to the iwerfarence of Lord Ponsonby and his party, who have been during his stay raising heaven and earth to prevent it, and so far, for the moment, they have succeeded, by urging the Potte to require the Pacha to surtander Adana ; it remains to he seen whether he will consent. The French cloverement meeaenger, par the steatater 4: ) e 4 ,A., was seat here . tot that object. Ido not hOeve I‘le4rnet tali will cede this paint, particularly now he is in a so much better position. TRANSLATION FROM THE TURKISH DESPATCH OF His HIGH NESS THE VICEROY TO HIS EXCELLENCY 1...00I;OS BEY, DATED THE 18TH DJERNES-El.-EWEE, 1236. The iron steam-boat Boqafj,.coming from Syria, brings rte despatehPs frOm their excellencies Abbas Pacha, Emir Bechir, and Osman Pacha, which announce that on the 10th of the current month Qsman Pacha, haying broken up his camp, yarcbcd towards the mountain, where he lost no time in ence untiring the insurgents • who made semblance of resistance. A few minutes sufficed to put them com pletely to the rout. The victorious troops pursued them during six hours, and only stopped at the village of 13eva riche to pass the nisht. Tne inhabit ants o f t h e v ill ages of the district hastened to the vietots to demand quarter and deliver up their arms, and from all points the ' are crowding to offer their submissio 7 rrainecrs & . and to disarm them yes. 11;s Excellency v —OUr Bechir adds moreover, in his despatch, ;hat the inhabitants of Deir.el-Kamar sub mitted in title 3dKie manner as the above-mentioned i'lo'tinfaineeas, and that Billowing their example, the insur gents in the environs of Saida have hastened to deliver up their atl a s, and to implore pardon. I authorise you to Make it oflleially known to our friends the arious Con sul-Gleneralf, that these troubles may be considered as en tire ty at an end. We believe there is now no doubt of the pacification of Syria ; but the Courriee Francais says---" It has been accomplished at a great sacrifice, the Pacha according to the insurgents a kind of charter, to which they require the guarantee of En; land and Fran ce , w hi c h guarantee has been provisionally granted by the Consuls. The inha bitants of Lebanon are to preserve their arms, to be exempt from the coascription, and to pay only a slight tri bete." So much for the truth of the Pacha's declaration about the voluntary surrender of arms.

PRINCE LOUIS NAPOLEON AT BOULOGNE. (From the Morning Chronicle.) The following particulars of the mad attempt made by Louis Napoleon to reiee an insurrection at Bou logne has been communicated by a gentleman who left that place at three o'clock yesterday afternoon : Yesterday morning, about four o'clock, Louis Napo leon, with fifty eight men, landed about two miles to the eastward of Boulogne, and immediately proceeded to the barracks—where, having secured the sentinel, he made overtures to the soldiers, offering (barn a consi derable increase of pay, and showering nepoleons and five tranc pieces amongst thorn. This, however, had not the de sired effect ; and he then went into the streets of the town, distributing three proclamatiens, addressed to the military and to the citizens. Vow joined them ; and very soon the National cieard was assembled, and the invaders drivel to the sands, where some of them attempted to regain the vessel from which they landed, but, the boat upsetting, they were precipitated into the water, when the National Guard fired, and killed several. Some were drowned, and Louis himself was picked up half a mile out, and carried off to the guard-house. General Montholon was also taken prisoner, as well as Colonel Vaudry, who was dangerously wounded. After this, stragglers were picked up in all quarters and taken to prison. A French officer crossing seized the horse of an English geatleman, who was on the race-course, some distance from the town, and made off in the di rection of Calais. It appears from the statement of the master of the steamer, t i ne Edinburgh Castle, belonging to the Commercial Steam Packet Company, that the party hired the vessel for some days, and came on board in plain clothes, and, after arriving off Hast ings and Margate, they steered for Boulogne, when the party suddenly appeared on the vessel's deck in the uniform of the 4d regiment. The vessel with a carriage and ten horses were taken into the part, where they will be kept till it is clearly proved that the owners were unaware of the nature of the proceeding. The town was perfectly tran qu il by two o'clock, and but few English persons were disposed to leave. Just ae the Dover packet was starting an order was sent down that no one should leave by the ordinary prrmit, but that they should obtain passports from the Consul. This was too late for the many to do. Numerous con jectures and reports were current in the town, and an attempt at a rescue during the night was looked for ; but aid for Louis must come from another quarter, as only two soldiers of the line stationed in the town joined him, and one of those was taken prisoner. At Calais nothing was known of the affair at two o'clock, consequently there could be nothing dreaded . from the military there. At Dunkirk there eeas said to be considgegble force, but th a t i s lenee.vn to be fals e . It is to Vetted that a Ne f ',onal Guard shot one of the invaders after l ee had surrendered, and then savagely kielr..al the body as it lay on the sands. Placards :Ire up throughout the town, congratulating the inha bitants on the result, and appl a uding th e conduct of the defenders of their King and country. Considerable anxiety was felt by the English residents lest, Louis having landed from an English vessel, the communica tion should be stopped till the affair had been properly explained. The beat proof that the captain and crew of the English steamer knew not the exact nature of the business is, that they let off the steam, and had not the means of escaping, as they easily might have dope, had they been in the secret. (From the Times.) BoULOGNE-Stia-MER, AUG. 6.—This morning one of those mad attempts at revolution which have charac terized the French since the days of the first and of memorable July, disturbed th© inhabitants of this peace ful town from its slumbers. The facts, as I have col lected them, are as follow : The City of Edinburgh steamer, belonging to the Commercial Steam Navigation Company, was hired by Prince Louis Napoleon, ostensibly for an excursion of pleasure along the British coast, forfor fourteen days. In this he embarked with fifty-six foliowers, eight horses, aed two carriages in the Thames on Wednesday las• : this morning, about two o'clock, they reached the coast of France, off Wimiroux, about three miles from Bau logne. The surprise of captain and crew may be im-- gined to see the whole of his passengers come on deck,. not it: the peaceful garb of citizens, but en militaire, some as lancers, some as general officers, some as pri vate soldiers, with an oil-skin covering en their hats, with the number 40 painted in front, that being the regiment which at Strasburg bad formerly identified itself so se•iously in the cause of Louis Napoleon. Their object was soon made evident. The ship' s boat were lowered, and the whole company landed in three trips. Before the Prince left the vessel he or dered the captain to cruise off the coast, but to keep close in to Boulogne, and have a boat ready manned to come off lor them should they signalize to that effect. Among those landed 1 have been able to collect the names of the General Montholon, Colonel Vaudrey, Colonel Parquin, and Colonel Delaborde. When all had landed, they marched into the town by the Place Navarin, Rue des Carreaux, Rue Simoneau into the Grand Rue, shouting " Vire l'Empereur," the Prince carrying his hat on the point of his sword 147 a ' waving it in the air ; from the Grand Rue ft ey their way by, the Rue de la Lame.- - to the caserne, made and roused the sma ll b o de er lieve only one c" — troops of the line (I be ,..lpany) that perform duty here. The awakened, and seeing themselves surrounded I by general officers, knew not what Lto make of the scene. They were, however, soon made to compre hend that a revolution was on foot, that Louis Philippe was dethroned, that all France was roused in favour of their Emperor, Louis Napo leon, and that they must arm to marsh forth with upon Paris. As some were preparing to obey, their captain, who had been awakened by the noise, rushed in amongst them, and restored their wavering loyalty by shouting " Viva le Roi." High words and a scuffle ensued between him and Prince Louis, when the latter drew a pistol and fired ; unfortunately the ball shattered the under jaw of a poor soldier who was endeavouring to separate them, and the whole party, finding that the soldiers were lukewarm, that the officers were faithful, that nothing was to be done there, preci- pitately quitted the Caserne and retired to the port. By this time the town was roused, the authoritie s were on foot,the drums were beating to arms, and the National Guards pouring out in all directions. The proclamations, one of which I enclose, with a decree, had been lavishly distributed along every street through which they passed, and money given to those who had followed them.
