informed, was DE BROGLIE ? Who ever heard of a
measure of his which was not the result of a Royal
suggestion ? The Duke de BROGLIE is in a private
capacity one of the most honourable men in France—
he is, moreover, a man of great intelligence, and much
natural sagacity ; but he was a wretched diplomatist,
and wanted spirit to assert the dignity of Fiance. We
have been the first to recommend the appointment of
M. THIERS to the office of Foreign Milks, not be-
cause he is the creature of the KING, but because he
is the only member of the late Cabinet who dared
openly to differ with the KING on questions of foreign
policy. -

Our readers will find in another part of our paper a
report of the Vestry Meeting held at Bungay in Suf.=
folk yesterday.
The excitement in the town occasioned by this
odious impost is very great. A,hand-bill from which
the following are extracts were exrensively circulated.
" The Churchwardens of Bungay St. Mary having been de-
nounced by all parties on account of the cruelties they caused
to be inflicted on Mr. John Childs last year, by sending him,
without the intervention of a Magistrate, to Ipswich Gaol, for
the non-payment of 17s. 6d. which he believed to be unjustly
charged upon him, have issued the above notice for a Vestry
Meeting to consider what steps are to be taken towards about
eighty persons, who are defaulters of this year.
" The Churchwardens last year pleaded their duty, founded
on their " oath of office," for their conduct towards Mr. Childs,
although other persons, as competent as himself, have never
paid that rate; nor been proceeded against at all ; and it is
obvious the proposed Meeting is intended by the present
Churchwardens, as a screen for themselves, a cat's-paw to save
them from the obloquy which, in every part of the kingdom,
attaches to the title of" Churchwardens of Bungay St. Mary."
Let Mr. Scott show, that they acted on the conscientious ob-
servance of their oath of office last year, by adopting against
the present
tdefaulters the same course which was then taken
against
" What have such men to consider about, if they do not in-
tend to make a victim of one neighbour, and to let others es-
cape? If, in the language of Mr. Childs's petition to the
House of Commons, they were not guided by the rancour of
religious intolerance.'
" Let those Churchmen who are glad to make the Dissen-
ters pay for the sacramental wine of their altar, the dresses of
their parson and choristers, their washerwomen, the debt for
new pewing their church, and for making St. Mary's the
handsomest parish church in the county, attend to-morrow,
and advise the churchwardens to send the fourscore defaulters
forthwith to prison.
" Bungay, March 14th, 1836.1'
It will be seen, that the vestry have determined upon
enforcing the arrears : it remains to be seen whether
the Churcb party will be mad enough to send forty of
their townsmen to gaol, when they have the easy pro-
cess of distraining upon, and selling their goods, and
whether the Ministry will lay dormant another session,
without introducing some effectual remedy ; and it
must be a remedy that will teach the Established
SECT the cost of their own faith, and that, as honest
men, they are bound to pay for their own worship out
of their own pockets. To THIS IT MUST COME
AT LAST.

We have received advices from Berne to the 12th
inst., which announce serious disturbances in the
Canton of Jura, in consequence of the refusal of the
curates to take the customary oath of allegiance to
the new Directory. On the Bth the State Council
assembled, and ordered 6,000 militia to march into
the refractory Canton, and compel the restoration of
order, and obedience to the will of the supreme Go-
vernment. It is reported that the rebellious cu-
rates have been secretly urged on by Austrian
emissaries, with a view to retard the liberal course
adopted by the new Directory. Be this as it may, we
have this moment .received advices from Frankfort,
stating that a body of Austrian troops has been put in
readiness to enter the Republic in the event of certain
occurrences taking place, the exact nature of which
remains a secret. We do not believe that the services
of Austria will be solicited by any party, as the Swiss
Government is able to manage its own affairs by com-
pelling the obedience of the priesthood.

Advices have been received from Constantinople to

the 18th ult. The Sultana MilmtmA (Effulgence
of the Moon), second daughter of the Sultan MAII-
MOUD, was to be married on the 17th April to SAID
DAMAT PASHA, late Governor of the Dardanelles.
MEIIEMET ALI and IBttAntm PACIIA were both

invited to tl►e nuptials, which are to be celebrated on
a scale of magnificence hitherto unparalleled, even in
the East. The following, from a Correspondent of a
Morning Contemporary, under date of the 17th nit.,
is important, if true :
" Lord Ponsonby is said to have officially informed the
Porte, that the British Government had made applications to
the Russian Government for the evacuation of Silistria, and
offered its guarantee, on the surrender of this fortress to the
Sultan's troops, for the payment of the remainder of the war
indemnity at present owing by Turkey to Russia."

Hamburg of yesterday. The mails due arc one Ostend and

By accounts received from Paris this morning, we learn that
the delirium of the King of Prussia was making alarming pro-
gress. If letters from Coblentz can be credited, on the least
irritation experienced by his Majesty, they were obliged to use
measures to prevent him from committing violence on the per-
sons who were with him.
The New York packet of the 24th ultimo has arrived at
Liverpool. Papers not yet received—letters in town.

PAISLEY ELECTION.—The Glasgow Herald ex-
presses an opinion that Mr. Hastie will be returned, and whilst
complimenting this gentleman on the possession of " conver-
sational powers," naively adds that he displays them to much
advantage in canvassing the inhabitants. Mr. Aytoun is, how-
ever, confessedly the more popular candidate. His lectures
are admirable. It is said that the following dialogue took
place between two weavers, at a recent meeting in Charleston:
—One of them, a small laird, who had a house and garden of
his own, observed to the other—" I say, Tammas, we'll shune
get it a' our ain way noo—fac, we should hae pledged Mister
Aytoun to support a bit division o'property. Whan that
comes roun' I'll chaps Mr. Fulton's house doun bye I"—Peter,
" We'll, we'll, if too tak's Mr. Fulton's I'll e'en tak' thine,"
—on which the laird, with unaffected passion, exclaimed--.
" You common thief, would you really lay hauns on preevate
property ?"
SHOCKING OCCURRENCE.—Yesterday afternoon
a gust of wind blew down a ladder that was placed against the
front of a house in Salmon and Ball-court, Bunhill-row, and
it fell upon a child between two and three years of age, be_
longing to a person named Patent. The poor little thing was
picked up in a dreadful state, with a broken leg and a fracture
of the skull. It was immediately carried to St. Bartholomew's
Hospital ; but it is not expected to survive.
LONGEVITY.—Died at Creech Grange in the
hundredth year of his age, Farmer Thomat Abbot. It is re-
markable that this worthy old man was not confined above two
days to his bed, having his eye-sight most excellent, his men-
tal faculties good, and walking about the house without any
aid whatever till within forty-eight hours of his death. He
had resided on the same ?arm nearly seventy years, having
originally rented it of John Bond, Esq., the grandfather of
the present John Bond, Esq., of Grange ; and during the
whole of that very long period one undeviating line of con-
duct seems to have actuated his mind—that of the strictest ho-
nesty and uprightness. He has left five children, whose united
ages amount to 336 years, being respectively 62, 64, 68, 70,
and 72 years.—Dorset County Chronicle.
