of Mr. I xeds to the situation or Purveyor to the Seminary at Ad-
discoisibe should be mai-sued, and that his salary should be 401/1.

ISt r. llt att e%pressed his full approbation of this vote. and urged
the LeeesNity of ...ray cadet learning at least the IlindiNoiriee lan-
guage beture the v, ere scut out to India. The advardages to be
derived from this would mote than cuuutirhalai,er au}' sum ex-

Mr. I.owxnEs o...iected to uniting the situations of Purveyor
and steward in one person. Ile understood a Purveyor to be a
provider of provisions. (A laugh.)

PA PE RS REFI!SE l
The CHAIRMAN then .ated, that the papers moved for on the
11 of March last were printed and ready fur distribution. Those
ordered on the Zit!' June last could not be produced, as their pro-
duction wanld be a violation of the oath of serresy of thu Board of
the Secret 11epartnicat. The Court of Direc.ort had applied to
them, but the Want of Connuiritiontra stated that they could not
oottyd with till it request.
A I)ireetor, whose name we did not hear, cspreased a wish for
the production of taws: papent. in order to hate the opinions or

tration of the aiftirt of

31artjuls or Hastings ink.rdered. Ev.vy roue who had a regard tor
public chterarter must fed acutely on this subject. lie did not
know what course was now bust to he &dowel, but he wished to
have the letter of the Secret Committee so the Board of Comsuias
sinners read.

The CtratllMAtt said he had no objection to Its being read.
The !lei:: then real It ; and it merely co:animal an application
for suet; portions of the secret corrostamdeuee as related to the ad-
ministration of the larqtils of flowing* i.t :4. The reply of,
the &tont of l:onimissioners was also read, and i; comained a re-
fusal on the ground that it was unnecessary to give further puWicity
to the contents of the corrzsponderice on that subject.
Mr. Rums' thoaght that, in justice to the :darquis of flutings,
these documents should he proOm•ell.
Mr. Low an Es was of opivion that secret papers should only be
open to the Court of Directors. Besides, India was now in a state
of war, and it Wright not be advisable to produce the papers called

for. The services of the Marquis of flutings were of a li'gh o.
ilistinguiebed nature, and he acted throughrnit not as a per • Ls
as a public man. (Question, quistint..‘ Ile had now to eaprese A

Extract of a letter from Paris, dated Sept, :—" The
new King was closeted on Saturday last with M. de Vil-
lele, for nearly three hours, during which he extendd the
list of amnesty which hail been began by Louis XVIII.,
for the unhappy Frenchmen who were taken last year
in Catalonia, fighting for the Spanish Constitutionalists.
Not the slightest idea of a change in the Ministry is enter.
tained, and the answer given of Charles X. to the address
of the Chamber of Commerce, is consideted highly &moo-
strative of the pacific line of policy which he intends to
adopt ; but the most striking proof is a later in the Note
of Saturday, signed " I). C.," on the subject of the refusal
of the Colombian Government to receive a M. Chasserian,
who was sent to Colombia by the Governor of Martinique,
In this letter, which is said to be written by a Private Se-
cretary to the French Minister of Marine, the mission of
M. Chasseriau is disclaimed ; but at the same time it is
stated, that M. Maizelot, the Gov,rnor of Martinique,
acted most properly in endeavouring to eu;tivate a good tie-
derstanding with the Colombian Government, it being the
wish of the present Government to be on friendly tenni
with the new States of America. M. Chasseriau has ar•
rived at Brest, and is confidently said to be the hearer of a
letter from the Vice-President, Santander, to M. de Vil-
lele, in which the Colombian Government respectfully
states, that they refused to allow M. Chasseriau to enter
Colombia, upon the ground of informality, but that no
circumstance would give so much pl,asure to the Colon-
Liana as the arrival of a duly authorised agent of the French

It is worthy of remark, that the English journals, to
whatever party they belong, agree on this point—that the
death of Louis XVIII. will not produce any kinder charge
in the domestic administration or the foreign poiicv at
France. This conviction is founded on the high esteem
which all Europe feels for the upright, humane, and just
character of !Zing Charles X.—lfleife.
The Censorship still exercises its authority on the Jain.
nal des Debuts. We observe several blanks in it.
French agents are at this moment employed in purchasing
large quantities of blocks in this country, which they are
shipping off to Brest, as it is supposed, for the use of the
French Navy.
Extract of a letter from the Agent to Lloyd's:—" Per.
nambuco, Aug. 9.—A British vessel has been ordered to
Rio Janeiro, stated to be the Venus, from Palermo; also
the American schooner Spartan, without any communica
tion from the Commander of the squadron to any of the
Consuls."
The lfublin Packet, Captain Strang, has arrived at
Portsmouth, from Vera Crui. The (*wain writes to his
owners, that on his arrival at Vera Cruz, after discharging
his cargo, the vessel was taken up by the Mexican Go-
vernment, to bring despatches to Mr. filichelena, the
Mexican Minister in this country. Ile supposes them to
contain an account of the surrender of the castle of [Pau,
which event was reported to have taken place a few hods
previous to his sailing.
We are informed, upon rt.specteile authority, that ec.,
cording to advices from the city of Mexico, of the ‘:Sdt
July, brought by the Forte, Lemaur, the Connnanclantof
the Castle of San Juan who has so long hrld ott
against the Republican forces, setting no chance of being re-
lieved, and the garrison being reduced to a very lama-
siderable number, had at length thought proper to cal
into negociations with the Government for the surrender of
the placc.. These were expected to be brought to a con-
clusion immediately, in which case the Spaniards 70111 a
lose the last hold they possessed on the Mexican territory.
Through the same channel we learn, that Ben.eski, the

ST. LcuEn.
In the morning of this 'Lay the sporting gentlemen were
very busy settling their winnings and Wings on the St.
Leger. We have the pleasure to announce that no de-
faulter has been declared of any consequence, although it is
conjeetured the money sported on the St. Leger of this year
exceeded that of any former, in the proportion of at least 5
to 1. One man practised a new mode of swindling, by
betting and giving in his name alternately " Brown, ,
" Green," " Yellow," &c. ; for it appear. lie bore a near
rosemblance to the cameleon. A Noble Scotch Lord poc-
kets 30,01.ng. ; and the Member of an ancient city 10,0uu/.
by the event of the race. Several large sums were also
wbu by•varimis individuals ; and the /ehrs on this occasion
are the great sufferers. Much dissatisfaction has arisen in
consequencc of a favourite horse basing been bought, and
not started for she race. We hear his owner has bean
palled up to account fur his conduct.
