in the Flume Dopartment,to Sir Jot* ntt NG, corn-
mending the Northern Distiict., This letter ex-
presses the approbation of Lord SID4OI.ITII at the
teal and tilstrity displayed by the Cheshire, Old..
ham, and Huddersfield corps of yeomanry cavalry.
in their effective muster on the occasion of the late
Manchester Meeting, and the confidence reversed by
the Noble Lord in their s'pitit and promptitude, .1 if
it should unfortunately become necessary to call
upon them to act in aid of the civil power." There
is something singular in thus conveying to military
bodies the thanks of a Secretary of State, as if Iris
approval of their conduct were a reward for their
exertions ! The thanks of the Sovereign, nrof both
Houses of Parliament, are deservedly considered by
our troops as honours worthy of their noblest
exploits, and ore treasured up among their most va-
lued distinctions; but a new object of honourable
ambition is now opened to the military, who will no
doubt think all their dangers ai.d labours suffi-
ciently repaid by a testimony of Lord Surmount's
confidence.

We have received Paris Papers of Friday last. •
M. BAYOUX, the law lecturer, whose conduct while
performing the duty of lecturer nn the laws of
France excited so much agitation. and so lively an
interest in Paris, has been strongly censured by the
Committee of Public Instruction, and deprived of
the provisional appointment which he had previously
held. Ile is also declared incompetent to fill the
Professor's Chair without the express consent of
the Commission. The resolutions, preceding the
sentence, state. that M. Bsvoux, having been ap-
pointed to explain the laws, neglected his duty,
and exerted himself only to censure them, and that
his rash and violent expression of disapprobation
had created dissentions among the pupils, and wus
the cause of all the tumults that succeeded.

We do not question the power of the Committee
to deprive M. BAYOUN. of hi+ appointment. but in
describing the nature of his offence, they very inju-
diciously put themselves in opposition to the Jury,
by whom his conduct as a citizen was tried, anti
on partial evidence declare him guilty, although
the Jury, after solemn inquiry. had acquitted Lim.
We are sorry to learn from Rome. that the spe-
culation of drawing the Tiller, iu the hope of re-
covering some of the lost treasures of art which it
was supposed had enriched the bed of that classic
stream, has totally failed. Nothing has at least as
yet rewarded the industry and enterprise of the spe-
culators.

The Paris Papers seem to give confirmation to
the accounts p►eviously received respecting the
existence of the yellow fever in th• Island of Leon,
near Cadiz, which, however, had been contradicted

in letters horn Madrid. It iq ?tilted in letters re-
ceived from Cadiz at Bourdeaux, that a cordon of
troops had been so disposed as to prevent all com-
munication between the town and the island.

We have received Buenos Ayres Gazettes to the
9th of June, from which we learn, under the head
of intelligence f Chili, that Lord COCHRANE
has been compelled to abandon his blockade of the
port of Callao. In his letter to Doti JOIE IGNACIO
ZENTENo, Minister of War and Marine, lie assigns
as a reason for this measure, the urgeot necessity
of obtaining water and provisions." The letter is
dated April 10.

The same Papers contain an account of three
dreadful earthquakes, which took place in Copiapo
on the 3d, 4th, and 11th of last April. The
whole city is said to he drawled by these awful vi-
sitations. More than three thousand persons were
traversing the neiv,hbonring plains, flying from the
desolation which had been produced. Copiapo is a
sea-port of Chili, and about 490 miles N. by E.
of Valparaivo.

We have receive() Bari-,does Papers to the 27th
July. They bring no intelligence of any great in-
terest, if we except the vulajoinerl article referring
to the military movement. in South America.
