lisped. The details are not important. The
victorious party lost one Lieutenant and four
soldiers killed, and six wounded.

Last night the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
brought forward the Budget for the year. The
details will be found in our Parliamentary Re-
port. The whole of the Resolutions were agreed
to. Toward the close of the discussion, Mr.
GRENFELL put a question to the Marquis of
LONDONDERRY, respecting the debt due to this
country by Austria, now amounting, as Mr.
GRENFELL stated, to about twenty-two millions
sterling. It is really disgraceful that no part
of this large claim, not even the interest,
has yet been paid by the Austrian Go-
vernment.—ln the event of a war between
Russia and Turkey, it would be seen that
Austria is capable of making very great
efforts, when her " will consents."—ln the Nea-
politan affair, it was seen that she could obtain
the means of putting her power in motion.
Surely she ought to shew the world that she is
disposed to make some exertion, and to submit
even to some sacrifices, for the discharge of a
just and bona fide debt. Even the revolutionized
Governments of the present day have faithfully
adhered to the engagements of their respective
States.—ln reply to Mr. GRENFELL, Lord LON-
DONDERRY stated, that " steps had been taken
to negociate on the subject. He would not now
say what the result of that negociation might be ;
but he hoped that some arrangement would very
speedily be made."

The most munificent gift of Mrs. PALMER to
her distressed tenantry in this county has afforded
them effectual relief. The cargo of oatmeal
distributed amongst them amounted to one hun-
dred and three tons, which may reasonably be
valued at sixteen hundred pounds sterling ; and
the expenditure of money amongst them, to give
temporary assistance until the arrival of this
cargo, amounted to about 4001. Exclusive of
giving present sustenance to the extent we
have mentioned, she has supplied every tenant
residing immediately under her with such quan-
tities of potatoes for seed as they required, and
her property in this part of the country is now in
a high state of cultivation.—(Map Constitution,
June 20.)

On Tuesday evening last a fatal accident hap-
pened to Mr. WILLIAM DAVIS, a most respectable maltster,
of Abingdon and Hadley, in the county of Berks. He had
just returned to the former place, from his house at Hadley,
and alighted from his gig ; while his servant was in the
act of lifting down his children from it, on the opposite side, a
double-barrel gun, strapped in the apron, went off, and its con-
tents were lodged in the left thigh of Mr. Davis. The only
words he distinctly uttered were—" Who could have coFked
that gun ?" He attempted to say something, which was
thought to be " God bless you," but was unable, for he
sank into the arms of one of his men, and instantly expired
This dreadful event happened in the presence of Mrs. Davis,
who was standing at the window of her bed-chamber. Her
agonized feelings may be conceived ; they cannot be ex-
pressed. She fell senseless, and still continues in a state
of mind bordering on distraction. It is conjectured that the
discharge of the gun was occasioned by the frock of one of
the children catching the trigger. Mr. Davis was fond of
the sports of the field, and prided himself on the excellence
of his fowling-pieces, one of which lie usually took with him
on his excursions of pleasure. He was fifty years of age, bore
a most excellent character, was an affectionate husband and
father, and his loss is severely lamented by his relatives,friends,
and acquaintance ; more especially by all the numerous persons
he employed at Abingdon and Hadley. Mr. Davis has left
seven children*, the youngest of whom is only six weeks old.
