We have taken the prectding extract from the
Quotidicnne, an Ultra Ministerial paper, and what
is still more remarkable, the printing of M. Du-
vox's speech was demanded and unanimously
carried.

In our preceding columns will be•found ex-
tracts from these papers, and some German Jour-
nals, which have arrived since our last.

Mails from Ramburgh and Flanders have also
'arrived. An article from Aix-la-Chapelle states
that a meeting of the Turkish Divan has been
held, at which all the great men of the empire
were present, after which the iteis Effendi de-
livered a Note to the English and Austrian Am-
bassadors, which is likely to remove all uncer-
tainty as to the affairs of the East. It is reported,
that the Greeks have taken Larissa, the capital
°f Thessaly, by storm. Private letters add, that
the war in that country, Epirus., and the Morea,
'daily assumes a more sanguinary character, it
being now the practice to give no quarter. The
horrible excesses committed by the Turks in
Selo have led to this result. They have at the
same time excited the most heroic courage in the
Creeks, and driven them to acts of desperation.
An article from Berlin, dated July 16, says—
The fair at Nuremburg has turned out better
than was expected. Several merchants from the
north of Germany were present: and, in parti-
cular, several thousand cwt. of English goods are
stated to have been sold."

Private letters from Madrid, this morning, state
that all was not tranquil there, and great alarm
still prevails in the Capital, owing to the diffe-
rence between the Municipality and the KING.

Colonel TRENCH stated last night in the House
of Commons, on the authority of communications
which he had received from Ireland, that he was
enabled to announce tllQ gratifying fact, that the
distress was gradually diminishing, and that no-
thing could exceed the gratitude felt by the
People Of 'that country towards England. We
sincerely rejoice at both the features presented
in thisintelligence,—at the former, from the con-
solatory assurance which it holds out that the pro-
gress°l famine has been at length effectually check -
e'd"----and at the cheering prospect of future cordi-
ality between the inhabitants of the sister islands)
which is promised by the latter. We are anxious,
however,
to prevent a misapprehension, which
we conceive is likely to swing from the commu-
nication made to the House by the gallant Colonel.
The. diminution, of the distress has proceeded,
not from any great improvement having as yet
been effected in the resources possessed by the
Irish Peasantry themselves, but solely from the
1144ralleled efforts which have been made for
the.
Ir Preservation by the benevolence of the
t sli Public, and by the paternal solicitude of
le Government. The distressed poor have still
to
undergo a month of suffering, before the full

been made for their salvation, by the public mu-
ilficence) must be perseveringly continued, or

ii°lls hand of a compassionate and generous na-
rflust re-commence with a destroying rapi-.
5T and force which would still render all that
bas
Hitherto been done for their prevention
rt, nearly
unavailing. The Irish papers continue to
q,Present the prolonged necessity for charitable
fig., to the distressed districts. The Cork Acker-
received this morning, states the melan-

141 e uperannuation Act Amendment Bill was
t 4ight vigorously attacked by Mr. CALCRAFT
tz(l Mr. CANNING, and supported by the CHAN-
1., 144)4 of the EXCHEQUER, the Marquis of
Ivic)lsTboNotttair, and Mr. ifumE. The Noble
no Mr. and Mr. VANSITTART defended this ob-
rol(i-ms Illensure, on the ground that it had been
4h,ieed upon Ministers by the votes of the House ;1
that it would be absurd, after having corn-
°verninent to resort, to the ungracious

task of reducing the salaries of its servants, to
oppose the proceeding now, when it had been
effected in a manner the least calculated to in-
jure the interests of individuals, Mr. Hume had
no objection to the Bill, except that it did not
go far enough ; and coldly recommended that
the reductions should be carried to the extent of
fifteen per cent., and that if the Clerks were
averse to the required contribution to the
Superannuation Fund, they should be taken
at their word and left to shift for them-
selves in their old age. Lord LONDONDERRY
represented the cruelty and impolicy of such
a course. When a public servant became
old, if he had neglected to make an economical
provision for the decline of life, Government
'would have no alternative but to retain him after
he had become unlit for service, or to turn him
out to starve in the streets,—an act revolting to
every feeling of humanity.—Mr. CANNING and
Mr. CAr.ctt trr succeeded, however, in intro-
ducing some amendments, with a view to
softening the rigour of the Bill, which was
ordered to be read a third time on Monday.
—Before it is too late, we trust that Minsters
may still be induced to give up the paltry saving,
,which they have thus, as they themselves acknow-
ledge, been forced to wring from the Public
Officers. We believe that, there is not now a
Member of either House, except Mr. lIIJME, who
would not rejoice to get rid of so penurious an
affair altogether. At all events, the salaries and
emoluments of the great offices ought to be propor-
tionably reduced, either by a legislative enactment
or by a general imitation of the noble and patriotic
conduct of the Marquis CAMDEN. The people,
to say nothing of the poor Clerks themselves,
will scarcely be satisfied with the compulsory
reduction of the smaller salaries, if the great
Leviathans of office are to escape. As sincere
well-wishers to the success, the glory, and the
popularity of his MAjEsTY's Ministers, we hope
that they will see the necessity of convincing the
people, not only of their talents for Government,
but of their patriotic sympathy with their suffer-
ings, and their free and generous participation
in such personal sacrifices as the exigencies of the
State may require.

NEW YORK, JUNE 26.—We are informed by
a commercial friend who has received, letters from Lima, that
the statement in the Morning Papers in relation to the bad
state of the markets at Lima is incorrect. The sale of English
goods is dull ; but produce is in good demand. It was stated
by the American Consul, that flour at Lima on the 14th of
February was from 20 to 25 dollars on board, free from duty,
scarce, and on the rise. Pork was also said to be N dollars
per barrel at Valparaiso.

TIIE KING'S VISIT TO SCOTLAND.

The Forte frigate, and Egeria sloop of war, two of the Royal
squadron, destined to convey his MAJEsTY to Scotland, passed
through the Downs on Thursday from the westward, for the
rendezvous at the Nore. The Forte has on board another de-
tachment of the Royal Marine. Artillery, for Chatham.

A considerable number of workmen are employed in cutting
a new carriage-way from the Palace to the Calton Hill road for
the better accommodation of carriages to and from the Palace.
Towards the execution of this; it appeared advisable to acquire
some of the property adjoining to the Artillery Park, in order
, that the road might not be confined to the King's property.—
An additional number of workmen have likewise been sent to
complete the preparations making at Dalkeith Palace, where his
Majesty will chiefly reside.—Workmen have also begun to.fill
up and level the ground in front of the Advocate's Library, and
orders have been issued to remove the Weigh-house in the course
of a few days. The removing of this ancient building, which has
stood for nearly five centuries, will greatly improve the passage
leading to the Castle-hill.—The Lord Provost and Magistrates
are to give his Majesty a splendid entertainment either in the
Parliament House, or in the George-street Assembly Rooms ;
and, in the event of the former being preferred, the Libraries,
and the first and Second Division's of the Court of Session, will
form a suite of rooms well adapted for such a banquet. His
Royal Highness the Duke of York is also expected, and
it is said will take up his residence at Becchwood, the beauti-
' ful seat of Sir Robert Dundas, about three miles from
the city, on the Glasgow road. His Grace the Duke of Buc-
' cleugh is to occupy a beautiful lodging in Queen-street; the
Duke of Montrose to reside in George-street, and lodgings
are preparing for Lord Sidinouth, Mr. Peel, &c. &c. The
whole of Mr. Oman's extensive establishment of the Waterloo
Hotel is already engaged from the sth of next month for, it
is supposed, the residence of the Foreign Ambassadors, &c.—
At a Meeting of the Society of. Writers to the Signet, held in
their Hall yesterday (Monday, the 21it instant), a Committee
of their :lumber was appointed to co-operate with other public
bodies, to consider what measures may he most proper to adopt
to testify their loyalty and respect to his Majesty on his ap-
proaching visit to the metropolis of Scotland.—ln the meantime,
the city is filling with great rapidity. Many families who had
Tone to the country for the summer have already returned.- --
he hotels are not only bespoke, but many private houses are
already engaged.—( Edinburgh Star.)
We understantl- that Mr. Peel, Secretary of State, takes
up his residence with the Marquis Of. Lothian, at Newbottle-
Abbey ; the Duke of Montrose has taken
,a house in George-
street, and the Waterloo Hotel is engaged for hiS Majesty's
suite. A beautiful medal has been designed by Forrest and
Sons, to be struck in gold, silver, and bronze. The reverse
has been cut in steel, by a young artist employed by them, who
has succeeded in forming a most beautiful likeness of his Ma-
jesty. The obverse is in progress, and is a representation of
Scotia presenting the Scots Crown to his Majesty; the Castle
is happily chosen as the place whence the allegorical figure has
come, and the King stands in an upright posture, with his back
to Holyrood House.—Mr. Murray has commenced his altera-
tions and decorations of the Theatre Royal. A new entrance
is to be made to the Royal Box by the present Box-office door.

HIS MAJESTY, as we have already stated, is
expected to embark for Scotland about the 10th
of August.—Yesterday the Duke of YORK
transacted military business with the
His MAJESTY rode out in his carriage yesterday.
Yesterday morning, the Duchess of GLOUCESTER,
accompanied by the Duchess of KENT, left town
for Bagshot.

A Board of the Lords of the -Treasury was
held yesterday at the Treasury Chambers.
