Of What absurdity are we guilty ?. . France is as
independent as ,we are ; and we Dave no more
right to attempt to impose this measure upon
her, than to. insist on the abolition,of feudality
in Russia. To conclude these ;hasty remarks,
there is not a Nation in Europe which would
aid us with a single regiment tor such a Quixotic
Crusade; we have not the power to inforee it our-
selves, and the best course the real friends of
humanity can adopt; is to leave the matter to
,the
persuasive measures which will be most earnestly
urged by our. Negociators at the ensuing Con-
gress.

Halifax and other Mails
,have arrived, but as
yet no news of importance has reached London.

In our first page we leave given a Private Let-
ter from Spain. Our Readers will-observe tliat it
is undated. It reached us via Bayonne, and though
we depend on the accuracy of our Correspondent,
the state of the Post-Office in that country forbids
the usual reliance on the. O piniatire parts of his
Letter.

Further extracts from 'the French Papers re-
ceived yesterday, are given in our _last page.

The second reading of the India Shipping Bill
will be moved this evening. A more impolitic nuni-
sure than the present was perhaps never submit-
ted to Parliament. It is to be hoped that every
Member of the Legislature will read the evidence
which was taken before the Select Committee,
wherein it is unequivocally proved, that if this
Bill passes into a law, without alteration, that in
future, all the ships to be employed in the India
and China trade will be built in Asia, and not in
Great Britain —(Morning Post)

'I he cavalry corps whicn belonged to the illus-
trious WELLINGTON'S late army, arc now daily ar-
riving from France.

' The Ducllss of WELLINGTON was-at St. Paul's
yesterday.

On the 27th ult. the Duke of ANGOULEME, iu
his quality. of Grand A'liniral, inspected the har-
bour and fleet

- The French Order of Re-Union is to change its
name and decoration. It will henceforth be-called
the Order of the Restoration.
During the time of Divine service, _at St. Paul's,
yesterday, Lord Chief Justice Sir VICAR]- GIBBS
was taken suddenly ill. He was carried into the
fresh air, and, by proper applications soon re-.
covered.
The notorious Meltee de la Touelle has had the
effrontery QS' bring before the Tribunals of France
certain spirited public writers, who latelv"remind-
ed the Public that he was the coadjutor of Caitlin-
court in the assassination of the Duo d'ENowitN.

PLATOFF has been tempted, by. the example of
his friend BLUCIIER, to leave his living likeness.
in this country. He is now sitting •tor his Bust
to TURNERELLI ; and, from having seen the one
finished for the other gallant warrior, we wilt
venture to predict, that both will not only'be
faithful and characteristic likeneSses, but a credit
to the British School of Arts. •

Captain-STEELE, Aid-de-Camp to General Sir
JOHN DOWNIE, arrived at Matind, from France,
on the 3d of June, and was presented to the King

and had the honour to kiss his Majesty's hand.
He was afterwards introduced to the Intantos
Don CAttLos and Don ANTONIO.

The Subscription for the Mausoleum over the
remains of RouEaT BURNS, the Scottish Bard, is
proceeding with- great spirit, in variou parts of
Scotland, and so stronj, is the general feeling in
favour of ttie 'measure, that, wherever it has
fouud an active advocate, respectable sums have
been obtained. The Treasurer last week received
321. Os. 6d. from Huddersfield.

The following circumstance occurred at South
Shields a few days -ago. An old seanian, who
had been eleven years .a prisoner, of War in France,
was landed at the low end of the town, in a very
distressed state. It appeared he belonged to Sun-
derland, and had not beard from hiy family for five
or six years. A poor woman accosted him, and
on learning his situation, humanely invited him to
partake of her homely fare. While he was re-
freshing-himself, she took his hat, and having put
in her own mite, went round amongst her neigh-
bours, who very liberally raised 20s. for hiM--an
instance of the most genuine benevolence.
On Wednesday, as some labourers at Bedworth
were employed by the side of the old Roman road,
in removing manure and lowering the ground, they,
accidentally discovered an earthen pot, covered by
a piece of tile, and containing about 1200 ancient
coins. They are in genenal a good deal worn, but
the names Of ELIZABETH and J AMES I. were plainly
discernible on many of thein.. Same were of very
ancient date, bearing the figures. 1061, doubtless
those of EDWARD the Confessor. We understand

they arc in the possession of Mr. E. PALMER, of
Bedworth. The man who picked up the coins re-
ceived 14/. 10s. for his trouble, and the other men
lesser gratuities.

The-cause which the PATRIOTIC CONCERTS are
intended to serve, renders theta honourable to the
benevolent character of the nation. Foreign oki-
gencies have been attended to ; ict not the claims
of the Widow and the Orphan of the British Pri-
vate, whose blood has moistened the plains of
Spain and Portugal, be neglected.. May the pro
fits of tire performances - keep pare with the ge-
nerosity of the design.
