Yesterday eveuing, after beerier heard daring throe au-
diences the pleadings of M.Orcel Demolard and of M. °ter-
rier, the Tribunal rejected an important claim set up by
M. Repaylt, ancient notary, and ex-mayor of Lesyng (Seine
and Blame), against her Royal Highness Madame the
Duchess Dowager of Orleans. M.Regnault demanded reim-
bursement of loans and of 'supplies of goods alleged to have
been made by him to tlie Princess during her misfortunes ;
but he did not bring forward any proof of his chimes which.
he set up to the amount of 30,000 frames.
The plague appears to be extending its ravages through
the whole of the worth of Africa—while it carries away at
Cairo to the number of 200 persons a-day, it does not cause
a kss number of deaths at Oran. It is nevertheless in the
Government of Algiers that this scourge employs itself with
the greatest fiery ; but the timberlines behold with 'ancient
coolness the void that results from it in their ranks. These
people almost return thanks to filalsomet for the visitation,
under the idea that the nations from whom they might have
to dread a visit, fear still more than themselves the cense-

Tweet* that it might have in such ei►cnmslaaces. It is at
least cert.'s, that the Algerloes make the plague enter as
something ietu their plans of defence. The son of the New
Dry has just 'lid of it, at the age of 14; end a ship, in

As to the great events that have occurred, and these that

The squadron of guard-ships. *shirk sailed from
Plymouth on the 511 s of June, to crnise, for exer-
cise, two mouths, separated ou the sth instant, to
return to their respective pmts. Their cruising
ground has been between 20 and 40 leagues S.W.
or Scilly. Sir BENJAMIN HALLOWELL went iuto
Plymouth on Friday, with the Tuionimi, Spencer,
Superb, Lee, Dwarj; and Grecian; the Ramillie,
Rocliefort,Verigeur,nuci Prometheus, have arrived at
Portsmouth; the Narthantbirtind and Bulwark have
passed the same port for Sheerness. A more tedious
cruise (say the Officers generally) was never known;
the squadron was 63 days without string land.

OTWAY.—The Ramillies and Albion, with the
Queen charlotte, it is said, are to be guard-ships at
Portsmouth, fur the next three years. The Lords
of the Admiralty, we understand, with a view to
save the expense of fitting out, have resolved to
keep the present guard-ships in service.

Hassey's confession, which we have copied from
the Observer of yesterday, must set the public
mind at rest as to guilt. He admits that he
planned the robbery of Mr. BIRD, in concert with
two other persons, who entered the house to per-
petrate the crime. He thus stands confessed •
principal in the robbery, but he denies the murder
with► • spirit of abhorrence, as if the robbery was no
offence at ill. Now, the accomplices who entered
Mr: BIRD'S house by the front door, asserted' (we
speak from Thissey'r confession) that to effect the
robbery it was necessary to murder th►e inmates. Had
this been known to the Judge who tried the Prisoner,
his Lordship would have told him, that he was us
guilty of the murder which he did not contemplate,
as of the robbery which► he did contemplate, because
the one crime was the necessary consequence of the
other.

were supposed to be in the most sound state, are
found, upon being ripped open, to be extensively
affected with the dry rot.
