LON DON,
WEDNESDAY. JULY e 5.

All account of the proceedings of the Common
Council of the City of Dublin is given ins subsequent
column. Mr. DUTTON made his promised motion
fur the Repeal of the Union, which was carried ;
■nd also a Resolution for taking down Mr. Fos.
TER'S picture from its plice in the Flall, as a
mark or their disapprobation of his conduct. Th;s
Right Hon. Gentleman canuot complain thut his
case is a new one. In 17113, his effigy was to be met
at the corder of every street in Dublin, tarred and
feathered, with a crowd of manufacturers following
it; who, when tireitof perambulating the streets, ad-
journed to the Tenter-field, in the Earl of Marries
Liberty, where tar-barrels were provided to light
an immense bonfire, in which the effigy was thrown
amidst the execrations of the populace. Mr. Fos-
TER, we understand, has sold the compensation lie
got for the llision lot. thirty thousand pounds; ■nd,
since his rethrii to Ireland, has got his friend, Mr.
PAGE of Dundalk. appointed a Coininissiotier of
the Revenue.—So much for patronage !!!

A Gentleman of the flume of Boowst, Cmtain
CREEN AWAY, and three seamen, have made their
escape from Asixonne in France, and fo►tunately
reached the rarast near St. Make's, Where they
seized a fishing-Iroat, and stood out to sea on Sun-
day sennight. (laving a sail, but no compass,
they were compelleJ to go before the wind. On
Monday they encountered a heavy gale, and had
woolly weather for ❑pwards of four hours,
during the whole of which time they were inces-
santly bailing the boat with their hats, and every
moment expected to founder. Fortin ately for
them, when all their hopes had vanished, the storm
abated ; and, 6y great exertions, they reached the
Coruish coast, and landed near Polperro on Thurs-
day last, in a very debililated state, having had
uothiug but two hams of bread and a bottle of
water to ♦ubsist on during the whole of their
perilous voyage. Mr. BROWNE, who had repeat-
edly applied for, and been promised his release,
is a gentleman of cofl•ideraLle property, and nee of
those perions so shamefully detained by the French
Government on the recommencement of hostilities.
By associating himself with a French Gentleman, he
had obtained permission to visit various parts of
France, and was everywhere received with a civi-
lity bordering ois kindiress. IHe states, that through
all ranks of society, for the last two years, the most
ardent desire for peace with this conntry lad prevail-
ed. The most important information collected from
these Gentlemen is, that vast prepsrations are mak-
ing in every naval depot throughout the French Em-
pire to increase their navy—the Emperor having de.-
..hared his determination to have a navy equal to cope
with England. Ile lies instituted • sort of Com-
mittee, composed of some of the oldest naval officers
in his service, who are to inquire and report to WI
on tliv causes of the repeated defeats suffered by the
navy of Frame, and the apparent superiority
clamored Ly the British.

Paris Papers ro the lath inst. contain the details
of the siege of Ciudad Rodrigo to the 29th last
tocluaive, on which day the place was summoned
by the Yresach.--Of the refusal of the Governor
we were already apprized, as it is known that the
place held out so late as the soli. although - it is
supposed to have fallen in the course of the two
following days. in consequence of a Not from the
Officer who brought the flag of truce, the. Co-
vet-nor of Ciudad Rodrigo requested pe►niis.inn to
send dispatches Ni Lord %Vett.' nolrus ; but MAS-
- would not agree to it.
It is stated from Vienna, that the Turks were
again defeated will% very streat loss on the 16thidt.
