OUTRAGES OF THE LAW ETHD.ENTS,

Yesterday moralise, when the daily 'germ's *RFC lefts
as usual, at the Luxembourg needling-room, ■ameroas
students assembled in the Recesses for the purpose of
reading aloud their eXploits of the preeeding day. The
crowd increased considerably, and some seditious indica-
tions were remarked amidst the coafosioa. A. iadieidual
exclaimed aloud, ".lta►faiteife el le lanterns !" This hor-
rible cry, however, was drowned amidst the general replies
of indignation agsiust the daring author of ht. in the con-
finites, some students arrosted a man of mature age, who
was peaceably walking near this hostile amenably, and
denounced him to their comrade! as a police spy, on
which he was instantly seised ; sad they were oa the point
of precipitating him into the Basin de Limembmirg,
when he was recognised as a quiet citizen, who usually re-
paired to that spot to take a Morning walk : on this assur-
ance, they desisted from their violent poems's. The civil
anthorities, judging it necessary to prevent the execution
of their mischievous intentions, now interfered, soil after
dispersing the crowd, shut itse gates of the Luxembourg,
apt set a patrole on foot. The gates were shortly afterwards
-opened, so which the students again assembled to read the
pipers; from titmice they adjoarned, after declaring their
intention of meeting on the Place de Observation, at two
o'clock. A detachment of gendarmes was seat to parade
that spot ; this, however, did not prevent the mutineers from
assembling at the hour deed upon. Oue of their leaden
flourished a roll of paper, and called oat, " Gentlemen, lbw
for the Pitiliens .0' He was instantly sumbutreled by •u im-
mense concourse of people, not Withstaisding the active efforts
of the cavalry to prevent further riotous Proceediogs. The
Petition was read ; it was addressed to the Prefect of Police,
soliciting him to release those of their party who had been
taken into custody ; it was afterwards signed by sassy pre.
sent. A second Petition, addressed to true Chamber of bepu.
lies, was then reed. It contained the following remarkable
sentence:—" The eyes of all Prase. are rlirSeted toward.
us is this important !brute." This Petition was also
signed. All this passed under the ob ion of the
armed force, who were unwilliug to have recourse to met.
give measures ageing* the infatuated youths. Some of the
military bore threats, and even insults. They, however, pe.
railed their horses quietly up and down through the assembly.
MM. Boulange and Blondes, Professors of the Establish-
ment, repaired to the scene of tumult. The latter read the
result of a recent deliberation of the Caused of the lastitn.
Lion, the conclu►ion of which, apparently, conveyed an intl.
ination, that the students aotild retrieve their errors; this
idea was received with unanimous disapprobation.
Bottling', who is much liked by the students in general,
now interfered. His remonstrances, and the special promise

• - -
that be would act u a mediator, were attended with success,
Sad towards the renting the crowd bad almost entirely dis-
passed.
be the 30th ult. a maw, about 40 years of age, called
ht the residence of M. Martainville, stating, that he had
hontellsing particular to 'communicate to Ctn. Madame
klartainville, in the Moonset of her husband, received the
individual, who announced himself as the former friend of
her parents, and who, in fact, mentioned some circumstances
trailing to coufirns bee in the idea that she was conversing
Willi a person who was intimately acquainted with her
He added, that in 1793 or 1794, Madame Martainvilles mo-
ther brims compelled to join her husband, who was a principal
in the provision department of a division of the French army,
previotialy to her departure, had made hint the depositary of
• pair of pistols, which he bad ever since carefully preserved,
and that be hail come to acquit his conscience of a promise
be had then made to her. Madame Martainville received,
without mistrust, this mysterious deposit. and put them into
a drawer. Neat morning Monsieur 31artainvolle received the
pistols from his wife, and took them into his study, fur the
purpose of exam' g them, He held them both in his right
hand; his left unfortunately covered their monies. The two
pistols, which, huirever, were at half-cork, went off together.
The report alarmed Madame Martaieville, who ran into the
✓unty, as did Mousieur Dente, and all who were in the bourse.
The shot with which they were loaded had torn the hand
of her husband to a shocking nr.nner. The foue-finger was
entirely destroyed, and the two next grielrously shattered. A
consultation of several professional Gentlemen was held
yesterday evening: it is feared that amputation Is India-
pen.able. If, adds the French Editor, the mats who left the
pistols has so motive for concealing himself, It is probable
that on bearing of this tragical event, he *ill instantly come
forward to dispel suspicious, which lie absence cannot fall
to confirm: if, as we would wish to beliVe, this event is the
effect of accident, it is difficelt to conceive a more astonish-
ing concurrence of circumstance to give it a character of
the must cowardly, and the most odious of crimes.

CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES, JOLT 11.
The President read the article 19th, smeutkil by the Cow•
reifies, for reducing to tose-ball the arms reserved or pobliC
salarin, from the let of !sly nest. 'll4 ammetlments of the

The ansendaseat was carried.
The amount of this reduction was the neat digestion, ash
it produced a lose debate.
The Keeper of She Seals, in delivering his ►cntimener us
this subject, &laded to the example of England, the eredot
of which, be said, *as shaken by a too precipitate ahind.in-

Considered in this point of view, these iiccounts
undoubtedly offer a very pleasing subject for re.
Section, but when compared with the expenditure
of the country, an improvement of even a million
in a year seems scarcely a sufficient cause for pub.
lic congratulation. In the Consolidated Fund
there is an excess of charge over revenue of more
than 2,500,0001. This deficit will, no doubt, be
in a great degree oracle up by the operation o. the
Act for applying the growing produce of the Cut.•
solidated Fund to this purpose ; but what will b.-.
come of the 3.000,0001. a year for the public se,.
vice, which were promised by the CitssicEt.Lua.
the EU:IIk:QM' in the early part of this Session ?
An improvement, even to the extent of a million in
the year, mu►t appear of comparatively but little
importance, at a time when our Miui.ters have
found it necessary to contract a very considerable
loan, and divert from the Stoking Fund 12,000,000 h
to meet the exigencies of tiie public set vice.

It must also be understood that au increase in the
revenue is not in itself an advantage. We are
gratified at it merely as it tends to balance the
revenue and the expenditure, belt the subtraction of
so much capital from the active business of the
country weakens in the saute, or rather a far
greater proportion, its productive power., and th.
minishes the sources of future revenue. With how
better reason the country would be taught .to exult.
if the Ministers of the Crown avowed their Mien.
tion of reducing, by even one n.illiou, the public
expenditure !
We have not been informed how much of this it .
crease in the quarter'. revenue may have arisen
from payments made into the Treasury, in antic;.
potion of the effect of the new taxes. IVe remtm.
ber when the additional duty was imposed last 'ear
on sugar, the passing of the Act for that realms,
caused a sum of 600,0001. to be paid into the
Treasury within the space of a few day..

We have received additional 'deices from Ame-

day. The following is the American account of
the defeat of General M.C;nenna :
CAPTILTRIL OF PORT() DELL() AND DEFEAT OF
M'GREGOR.

Capt. FLEETWOOD, of the schooner Sam, arriv►d
here yesterday, in 25 days from Porto Bello, ►e-
ports, that Gen. MlGxenott made his appearance
off the herbour of Porto Bello on the 7th of April.
On the Bth, he landed WI forces, amounting to up-
'wards orl,ooo men, and on the day following enter-
ed and took possession of the place. He remained
in possession 21 days without succeeding in gain-
ing any .of the inhabitants over to his standard.
The depredations and robberies of his party on
pirate property entlipelled the inhabitants to aban-
don their bottom and fly to the mountains for
refuge. At the last of April Gen. HO Re (Royalist)
entered Porto Bello at six in the morning, and sue.
prised 111'Gamox and his followers, who were
asleep. fill'Garcoa and five or six of his men
escaped with difficulty, by leaping from a window
20 feet high, and swimming on board of one of his
vessels. Five hundred prisoners have been sent to
Panama. There were sixty men killed and forty
wounded, the greater part of whom were officers.
Stragglers were daily brought in from the neigh-
ouring mountains. The Royalists lost two men
killed and four wounded.—(lluhirnore Paper.)

At a moment when so many honest and imluatri-
nos poor are reduced to extreme distress, and con-
►igned to 14 workhouse by ■ dire necessity, which no
habits, however virtuous, no labour, no prudence
on their part can avert, the information disclosed
in the following short paragraph, which we extract
from the Gloucester Journal, must strike every
humane and feeling mind with peculiar force :

•
" The conduct of the Parish Officers of Abbott's Leigh,
in recently pulling down their Poor-house witbont the pre.
'ions sanc,ion Of the Magistrates, and without providihg
MI lodgings liw the 141 sinfortnnate inmates therein. in-
cluding two pregnant women, will tic the subject of strict
iu-
ie.tigatiou at time ensuing Somerset Sessions.'

A private letter from New York, dated the 10th
last, states, that the heat was excessive, and never
known PO great at so early a period of the simmer.
Serious apprehensions were entertained for the
health of the city, in the event of its continuance.

' The late Professor Porsois's prise for the best

alington, scholar of Trinity College. The same
gentleman has also gaintid Sir Wm. Browne's medal

notice, as a matter of proud distinction .to the
parties concerned, and a stimulus for exertion to the

of a lute Fellow or Trinity College, end brother to
the present Fellow of that name ; and we believe
the instance is unparalleled or two brothers being,
as they are, at the some time University scholars.
