FETES AT FONTAINBLEAU.

PARIS, JUNE 11.—Princes Charles and Albert, sons of the
King of Prussia, Prince Augustus, Commander-in- Chief of
the Prussian Artillery, Prince Charles of Mecklenburg (the
King's brother-in-law), Commander-in-Chief of the Guard at
Berlin, General Witzleben, Minister of War, General Bor-
stall, Commander-in-Chief in the Grand Duchy of the Lower
Rhine, Count Bahl, Intendant-General of the Theatres, &c.,
in Prussia, Baron Alexander Von Hunboldt, Councillor of
State, M. Schadow, a celebrated sculptor, and M. Hirt,
Director of the Prussian Museum, have been invited by the
French Princes, in the name of the King their father, to be
present at the fetes at Fontainbleau, in the month of August
next. All have accepted except General Witzleben, who has
declined because his official duties will not allow him to quit
his post. M. Ancillon, the Minister for Foreign Affairs, has
received a special invitation from the King of the French to
the same effect ; to which the Minister has replied that he
will gladly come to France at that time.
The Archdukes Charles and Maximilian have also been in-
vited by the King.
The Dukes of Orleans and Nemours did not receive while
they were at Berlin the Order of the Black Eagle of Prussia,
because the King their father has not yet received it. But it
seems certain that the sons.4of.,the King of Prussia will be
commissioned to present the insignia of that Order to the King
of the French and his two eldest sons.
We are assured besides that the
.Government has learnt, in
a semi-official manner, that his Majesty the King of Prussia
intends to visit France in tile month of. August; according to
his invariable custom, his Majesty will observe the strictest
incognito.
PARIS, JUNE 12.—The Minister of Marine
has just given
an important mission to Captain Pardaillan. He has in-
structed him to visit the English Antilles, there to examine
the effects of the emancipation of the Negroes. Captain
Pardailian is a distinguished officer ; he commands the Fabert

brig, with which he is also to visit the Dutch and Spanish
Colonies.

We have received an official account of the great bat-

tie of Tingo, in Peru, fought on the 7th of February,
between Generals SANTA CRUZ, President of the Re-
public of Bolivia, and SALAVERRY who had usurped
the Presidency of the Republic of Peru, after forcibly
expelling General ABREGOSO, the lawfully elected
President of the Republic. SANTA CRUZ was at
the head of 8,000 Bolivians, and obtained a complete
victory over the insurgents. General SALAVERRY
' and 219 officers were made prisoners, after sustaining
a loss of 600 killed and 350 wounded. The loss on

,he side of the Constitutionalists was 240 killed and
188 wounded. On the 18th three Generals, including

SALAVERRY, and five other Officers of the insur-
gents were tried by a Court-Martial, and sentenced to
be shot. This sentence was instantly carried into
execution. The death of SALAVERRY has restored
public tranquillity in Peru. The inhabitants with one
accord submitted to SANTA CRUZ, who restored the
President, and retired into Bolivia.

On Tuesday last, a lady named Todd, who was
travelling from London, by a coach which was passing through
this town, was discovered by the driver, when at Ingatestone,
to be lifeless. The coachman communicated the fact to her
son-in law, who was outside, but that gentleman, after some
hesitation, decided that no notice should be taken of the
matter—the deceased being the only inside passenger,—until
the journey, a further distance of 34 miles, was completed.
On the road two ladies got in, the coachman having pre-
viously acquainted them with the circumstances ; being, how-
ever, extremely anxious to go by the coach, they waived all
scruples, and rode with the corpse to their journey's end.—
Essex Herald.

THE PETTICOAT PA RLIA MENT.—In reference
to the piece of Plate which the Ladies propose to present to
the Hon. Grantley Berkeley, the Cheltenham Journal ex-
claims—" Homage and honour to the Honorable 1 Greeting
and glory to the gay and gallant Grantley ! Praise and a
piece of plate to the " Pet of the Petticoats !" The Parlia-
ment of 1836 shall, in memory of "Pope Joan," be renowned
in song and story as "the Petticoat Parliament !"
FA IRLOP FAlR.—Preparations are already making
for this fair, and the magistrates of the district are particu-
larly anxious to adopt means for clearing the ground before
the Sunday, and thus prevent those scences of r►ot and con-
fusion which too often take place on that day.

A LADY IN THE HOUSE OP COMMONS.—The
late Duchess of Gordon had so ardent a desire to hear Mr.
Pitt speak in the House, that she was induced to adopt the
expedient of entering the gallery habited as a man. The
Duchess had not, unfortunately, made a secret of her design,
and scarcely was she comfortably seated in expectation of the
Minister's speech, when the Sergeant-at-Arms appeared and
very politely whispered to her Grace that her sex was disco-
vered, and that there existed a standing order of the House
against the admission of any females into the gallery,. " Pray
inform me, Sir," inquired the Duchess, " whether t'here ex-
ists any standing order for turning a female out who has once
got in ?"—a question that so effectually posed Mr. Coleman
that he effected his retreat, leaving the adventurous lady in
quiet enjoyment of her place.
The Commercial Steam-packet Company's fine
vessel the Emerald, which sailed for London a little before
ten o'clock on Saturday morning, reached Boulogne at half-
past eight the same evening, performing the voyage in the
short space of ten hours and a half. The Emerald carried
about 150 passengers to Boulogne, and upwards of 300 to
Ramsgate.

There are at present in Paris twenty infant asylums
for receiving the children of indigent families, while their
parents are out of work. They receive altogether 3,700 chil-
dren. Four more similar buildings are in construction, and
will be opened next year.

The power-loom system, commonly so known,
ought to be called the Radcliffe system. Without the dress-
ing-machine, invented by Mr. William Radcliffe, of Stock-
port, the power-loom was utterly worthless, except as a piece
of curious mechanism. That of Dr. Cartwright has never
been other than useless; yet he obtained a grant from Par-
liament of 10,0001. for the invention. Mr. Samuel Crompton,
for his splendid discovery of the spinning-mule, received the
niggardly award of 5,0001. from the same source; but Mr.
Radcliffe was beggared by his inventions. His patents were
invaded by a joint-stock purse combination ; and he himself,
from a prosperous manufacturer, brought to bankruptcy from
expenses, time, and labour, lavished upon his valuable inven-
tions. The contemporary of Sir Richard Arkwright, and the
friend of the late Sir Robert Peel, is, we have reason to be-
lieve, yet alive, and at an advanced age languishing in poverty,
if not in actual distress--the sole recompense of inventions
which have produced, and are producing millions and tens of
millions to this country.—Blachwood's Magazine.

TOURISTS IN SWEDEN.—A great many foreigners
have arrived at Frankfort, and will remain some days, being
detained by the coldness of the weather, because they are
going into the northern provinces of Sweden, Norway, and
Lapland. The mass of these tourists is composed of Eng-
lish, French, and Italians, who are going to pass the summer
months near the Pole, in order to fish in the lakes or hunt the
elk or the reindeer. The Swedish Minister, instead of dis-
couraging these adventurers, has assured them of being well
received by his Government. It appears that in the middle of
this month Tornea will be a rendezvous of learned and scientific
men of all nations, who will make observations with new and more
perfect instruments. It is also believed that the Prince Royal
of Sweden will join this scientific caravan. Nothing will be
wanting to render it agreeable to the travellers, as well as use-
ful to science. Russia, it is true, has made some observations
on these excursions, which it considers as too liberal, but
Sweden has too high a sense of its national independence to
submit its internal police and foreign policy to the dictates of
any foreign Cabinets, however vast may be the masses of sol-
diers they have at their command.—Frankfort Paper.
Mr. Grant, a British subject, has been prosecuting
at St. Peterburgh, for nearly 30 years, a claim upon the
Russian Government, amounting to 330,000 roubles, but
hitherto without success, notwithstanding all the exertions
made in his behalf by the successive British Ministers at St.
Petersburgh. The decision of the different tribunals before
which the case had been heard had been confirmed by the
Emperor ; and as no revision of a case so decided was consi-
dered practicable according to the established usages of the
country, there seemed to be no longer any hope that Mr.
Grant would ever obtain redress. Lord Durham, however,
having found an opportunity of bringing the case unofficially
to the notice of the Emperor, his Imperial Majesty, not re-
strained by the want of a precedent from doing that which his
sense o_f justice satisfied him was correct, directed the whole
matter to. be again referred to the Council of State, and the
result wall a decision in favour of Mr. Grant, which was
confirmed by the Emperor's signature on the 19th of last
month.
On &Imlay morning, a fatal accident happened to
two respectable young men while enjoying the pleasure of an
excursion on the river in a small boat, without the aid of a
scaterman. When they arrived off Chelsea-reach, between
Battersea and Vauxhall bridges, the boat was unfortunately
overturned by the swell of the Endeavour Richmond steam-
boat, and nne of the young men was drowned. Several men
have since been employed in dragging the river, for the pur-
pose of recovering the body, which, up to an early hour yes-
terday morning, had not been found. It is much to be re-
gretted that the circumstance of there being so many lives
lost throe ,gh the inexperience of persons undertaking_ the ma-
nagement of boats is not sufficient to deter people from ven-
turing on the water without a waterman to guide them.
Many of the Scotch bullocks brought to London
by the stea iners have been so much bruised on the voyage as
to deterior; le very materially both the appearance and value of
the meat.
Tuesday morning, eleven shepherds from Lochaber,
with twels o women, and a due proportion of collies or shep-
herds' d ogs, left Inverness for Van Diemen's Land. One of
the Hig' islanders learning in Lochaber that Government had
offered a . bounty of 201. to all married men, and not being pro-
vided w ith a helpmate, set about supplying this deficiency.
He had only three days to accomplish the task of courtship
and mar riage, and he met with two refusals.
