HIS MAJESTY'S HEALTH.

" Windsor Castle, June 16.
" The KING has pawed another good night, and conti-
nues to feel his respiration less impeded.
(Signed) " HENRY HALFORD.

" MATTHEW J. TIERNEY."

The Duke of WLLZNGTON left town this morn-
ing for Windsor Castle.

Despatches were received at the Foreign Office
;his morning from the British Minister at the Brazils.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

We have just received, by Express, the
Moniteur of Monday, from which we have only
time to give the following :

(From the Moititeur.)
"PROCLAMATION OF THE KING.

"Charles, by the Grace of God, Ring of France and
Navarre,

".The late Chamber of the Deputies were informed of
my intentions, and I had a right to depend on their suc-
cour to accomplish that good which I intended. But
they refused me. _ _

:‘ As father of my people and King I was displeased,
and pronounced the dissolution of the Chambers.
"Frenchmen ! Your prosperity is my glory—your hap-
piness.
" The elections are going to commence at all points in
my kingdom. Listen to the voice of your King, and maintain
the constitutional charter, and the institutions on which it
is founded, which I will preserve with my utmost efforts.
But to attain this object I must freely exercise and cause to
be respected the sacred rights which belong to my Crown,
which is the guarantee of public peace and your liberties.

" The nature of the Government will be altered if the
culpable intentions to invade my prerogative succeed, and
I shall break my oath if I submit to them.
" Under this Government France has become flourish-
ing and free—owes to it her credit and industry. France
does not envy other States, .and only aspires to the
preservation of the advantages which she enjoys ; remain
assured of your rights, which I unite with mine, and will
protect with equal solicitude.
Do not let yourselves be deceived by seditious per-
sons—enemies to your repose ; and do not listen to false
fears, which may excite serious disorders.
" Electors, hasten to join your Colleges. Let the same
sentiment animate you, and rally under the same standard.
It is your King that demands it,—it is the call of your
father ; fulfil your duties, and I shall fnlfil mine.

" Given at the Tuileries.
(Signed)
"Monday, June 14."

The Swallow packet, from Rio Janeiro, brings
ntelligence that the Tyrian brig put back to Rio
the 20th April, having lost her foremast.

The Swallow brings about 16,0001. freight, and
Don J. M. LISBOA, Charge D'Affaires from Brazil
to the Court of the Netherland..
The following are extracts from Rio Janeiro
Papers of the 20th April :

(Flom the Diario Fluminense, April 8.)

Rio DE JANEIRO.—The Marquis de Caravellas, Mi-
nister of the Interior, has, by his Majesty's order, sent a
circular letter to the municipal authorities of all the pro-
vincial towns, enjoining them to send to his office, in as
short a time as possible, correct information on the follow-
ing points

1. What elementary schools and Latin grammar schools
there are in their respective districts?
2. What is the number of scholars in each of them,
and whether the elementary schools are on the system of
mutual instruction?

3. Whether the places in which they are situated are
favourable for the greater extension of the education of
the youth of the district, and if they are unfavourably
situated, whether it will be proper t ) move them, or if it
is necessary to establish new ones?
4. if the parts of the district wh' re they now are, or
where they are to be established, are populous?
5. Whether the girls' schools are at the expense of the
nation or of private governesses?
APRIL ]s.—His Majesty being informed that some in-
habitants of the north of the province of Matto Grasso,
principally protected by the Commandants of Coimbra and
Miranda, have assisted the savage Indians with arms, am-
munition, and fusileers, both whites and negroes, who
have stolen an immense quantity of cattle, and committed
the greatest excesses, and it being necessary to check such
scandalous proceedings, which may endanger the tranquil-
lity of the empire, his Majesty orders the Vice-President
of the province of Matto Grosso to take the most ener-
getic measures to suppress those robberies, and to arrest
the guilty, that they may be punished with the utmost
rigour of the law.
Don Nicholas Herrera, Charge d'Affaires of the Oriental
State of Uruguay, having represented the necessity of
checking the excesses of the individuals who infest the
frontiers of the empire and of that state, committing nu-
merous robberies and murders, his Majesty desiring on
his part to put an end to these disorders, which tend to
disturb the harmony happily subsisting between the two
states, has given orders that the guilty may be seized and
punished according to law.
APRIL 16 —A letter from Count Barrels, commanding
on the frontier of the province of Rio Grande, complains
that he does not know how the excesses committed by the
robbers, who enter the Cisplatine province and commit all
kinds of crimes, are to be checked. A patrol belonging to
his regiment had been fired at, and it was notorious that
two soldiers of a certain regiment, who had been guilty of
numerous crimes and had comnsitted many robberies and
murders in the Cisplatine provinces we re the persons who
fired at the patrol. These two wretches were arrested,
and delivered to the Justice of Peace of the district. One
of them was declared innocent, and set at liberty, and im-
mediately returned to his old courses ; the other was in-
deed found guilty of the crimes laid to his charge, but he
was soon set at liberty again, and is openly threatening
vengeance upon those who endeavoured to get him punished.
In this manner our Government falls into discredit with
that of Monte Video, and is openly accused in the Cispla-
tine provinces of protecting these robbers. I am told,
says the Captain, that the rogues and vagabonds of the
Cisplatine provinces are assembling in the department of
Serro Largo, with the intention of coming to this province,
and perpetrate the same excesses as our people have done
in theirs. I have no doubt of this. This news has in-
duced our inhabitants on the frontier to retire into the
interior; and all for what? Because the crimes of our
vagabonds are not punished.

Letters to the middle of March from Calcutta state
that that town - and district, forming the boundary

between the contending parties, was likely very soon
to become the scene of the first conflict. General
O'LEARY, with a division of the Colombian army,
occupied Cucuta. Guayaca, which is within the
Bogota line, was ineested by BOLIVAR'S troops, the
villages to the north of it being in possession of the
Venezuelans or Federal party. Great alarm pre-
vailed among tlit inhabitants of these districts on
the prospect of approaching hostilities, as pro-
visions were becoming more scarce every day, and
the people, instead of taking advantage of the in-
creased prices, were concealing their beasts of
burthen, to escape the demands of the belligerents,
thus increasing the scarcity already so severely felt.
Mules for purposes of commerce were scarcely to
be obtained at any price.

The Venezuelans continued to issue the most
violent proclamations against BOLIVAR, and had
stopped the intercourse by post with the southern
provinces of Colombia.

Papers from Prince Edward's Island have been
received to the 10th tilt: The Session of Legis-
lature had closed, when his Excellency the Lieut.-
Governor gave his assent to twenty-two Bills.—
Among these were Bills for establishing schools,
for erecting a Government-house and other public
buildings, and for increasing the revenue by levying
a duty on molasses and sugar. In the speech with
which Governor READY closed the Session, he says,

" I have received rith great satisfaction the continued
proofs which you have given me of your attention to public
business, and of your zealous concern for the welfare and
prosperity of the country.
" The harmony which has pervaded both branches of
the Legislature, and characterized this Session, demands
also my warmest applause and congratulation."

The Register also gircs a copy of the Joint
Address of the Council and Assembly upon the
subject of opening the ports of the West Indies to
the Americans. It is couched in strong language.

We have a file of Malta Gazettes ' this morning.
According to a census taken by order of the Viceroy
of SICILY, that island contained in 1829 a popula-
tion of 1,780,000 inhabitants, exclusive of 300,000
ecclesiastics. There were in the island 1,117 con.
vents, containing about 30,000 monks and 30,000
nuns. The nobility of Sicily consists of 61 Dukes,
217 Princes, 217 Marquises, 2,000 Barons, and
2,000 Gentlemen. Palermo, the capital, contains
150,000 inhabitants, and 388 churches. The export
of Sicilian produce yearly is about 5f millions of
ducats, and the imports about 6/ millions.

Mr. Alderman WOOD last night nobly vindicated
his claims to the appellation of Absolute Wisdom.
He moved the second reading of a Bill which con-
tained a clause, authorizing persons to seize hold of
any mad dog and deliver it to a police constable !
This Bill is, we understand, one of the most
cherished offsprings of its father, and truly in com-
mon sense, shrewdness, and ingenuity, it does
credit to its high civic parentage. Conceive
the Worthy Alderman sweltering along on a hot
summer's day with a huge mad dog under
his arm, for the purpose of delivering up the
lively animal to a Police constable! Conceive the same
Police constable eagerly stretching forth his hands
to receive the precious deposit I What a subject for
CRUICKSHANK !

The absurd Methuen Treaty, by virtue of which
this country has the privilege of drinking the very
worst Port wine at the very highest price, formed
last night the subject of an able and comprehensive
speech by Mr. HYDE VILLIERS. It appears that
the Oporto Company, by the provisions of the
Methuen Treaty, have the power to prohibit us from
importing any wine except from their own district,
the quality, price, and quantity of which they them-
selves prescribe. The consequence is that we are com-
pletely at their mercy, with scarcely the power of
remonstrance, and certainly without that of rejec-
tion. " The Company," observed Mr. VILLIERS,
were always in the habit of supplying the waste of
their cellars, which must be considerable, by means
" of adulteration ; and as a proof to what extent this
was carried, he would mention that 135 pipes of
wine, shipped at the island of Guernsey, on reach-
ing the port of London, were multiplied into 2,545
pipes. The whole of this difference was made up
by a class of persons who were described under the
name of the brewers of this country."
In reply to these remarks, Mr. COURTENAY said
there was little doubt that this country was at perfect
liberty to revive and re-consider the Treaty of Me-
thuen. He added that Government was disposed to
undertake that revision so soon as the state of our
political relations with Portugal would afford an op-
portunity. This, though intended as a quietus to
Mr. VILLIERS, is any thing but satisfactory or
definite. When the state of our political re-
lations with Portugal affords an opportunity,
(when will that be ?) then Government will
enter upon the question of whether this country
is or is not to remain longer subservient to an op.
pressive unprecedented monopoly, insulting to the
national vanity and obnoxious to the national wealth !
Unluckily, our relations with Portugal are just now
in a condition more complicated and uncertain than
ever. If, therefore, the consideration of the Me-
thuen Treaty is to be postponed till these relations
are placed on an intelligible footing, it may with
just as much propriety be postponed till CARLILE is
made a Bishop, or IKEY SOLOMONS a Peer of the
Realm.

In another part of our Paper will be found soma
interesting particulars respecting the first journey of
the Directors on their Railway from Liverpool to
Manchester. They startsd, it seems, from Liver.
pool on Monday last, at a quarter before nine
o'clock, and arrived in Manchester at five minutes
past eleven. The distance was thirty miles, which
they compassed in two hours and one minute, ex-
clusive of nineteen minutes taken up in stoppages
for the necessary supply of fuel and water. The
engine used on this octagon, besides its own weight
of seven tons, drew behind it seven waggons,
weighing 27 tons, and the two carriages of the Di-
rectors, which weighed five tons; and yet, notwith-
standing this enormous load, the vehicle proceeded
easily, and with perfect safety, at the rate of fifteen
miles an hour ! What will Lord ELDON say to this
monstrous innovation on the good old travelling
system of our ancestors ? We should not omit to
add, that the engine returned in the evening to
Liverpool, unincumbered with waggons, at the rate
of upwards of twenty miles an hour !
We heartily congratulate the Directors on the
spirit with which they have prosecuted and brought
to a successful close this magnificent enterprise, the
general adoption of which we were among the first
to advocate, and which, for grandeur of coneeption
and utility of execution, may vie with the proudest
works of the ancients.

That at no distant period railways will be •ex-
tended over every practicable part of England, we
have little, if any, doubt. The plan is so feasible;
experience has shown that it is so safe; it brings
all parts of the country into such close and txpedi-

tious contact with each ether, that bigotry itself
must be forced to waive her objections to it. Ima-
gine the great.advantages in a commercial, not less
than in a pleasurable point of view, of a railway
