the subject is, iu the mean time both idle and un-
profitable.

We have not yet received the decision of the
French Chamber of Deputies ou the case of M.
MANUEL. From the eagerness with which the
Ultras have deserted the discussion of the pro-
ject for granting the War Supplies, in order that
they might indulge their rage against M.MANUEL,
and from the passive acquiescence of the Minis-
ters in an intemperate proceeding which basso long
retarded the completion of their financial pre-
parations for war, M. GIRARDIN accused them of
having either made an incorrect statement, when
they alleged that ,the French territory had been
thrice violated, and for the punishment of which
they had represented their demand of a hun-
dred millions as necessary, or, of being guilty
of a desertion of their duty, iu not exercising
their right of causing a discussion of the
highest importance to be continued. But the
whole conduct, both of the French Govern-
ment and of the French. Legislature, in rela-
tion to Spain,has been marked by inconsistency and
folly. Thus, the Chamber of Deputies, in approv-
ing of the Speech from the Throne at the opening
of the Session, declared that they were about to
make War for the re-establishment in Spain of social
order and obedience to authority.—The French
Chamber of Deputies, the Champion of Social
Order and Obedience to authority and the law !
—that Chamber which is itself the theatre of the
most riotous disorder, and which hesitates not,
however frivolous or absurd the occasion, to vio-
late its own regulations, and to set at defiance
the authority of its own President !!! Granting
that Spain is in a state of partial demoralization,
yet it is evident, from the conduct of the Cortes,
that the great source of public law and
morals in that country is wholly uncon-
taminated. Spain, therefore, possesses within
herself the means of self-correction, and of
removing the moral taint, without the aid
of foreign bayonets.—The Chamber of De.
puties, on the other hand,—one of the springs
of public feeling, and one of the sources of pub-
lic law and morality in France, seems to be
utterly incapable of performing this most im-
portant and salutary functions. Truly, we re-
peat, it is not from Spain that there appears to
be the greatest reason for dreading the eruption
of a Moral pestilence !

Court ? It- has established forms which you. are bound to
imitate; the observance of which, by this assembly, is the more
sacred, as it is a Deputy that you are about to judge. If, in
this circumstance, you act irregularly; do you not fear that you,
will be accused of an impulse of impatience ? '
On the right—(oh ! oh !)
M. C: PERRIER-It is not our side which has made the
proposition to accuse and exclude M. Manuel.--(Laughter on
the right.)
A voice—This is not surprising, you, partake his sentiments.
M. C. PERRIER—We,. therefore, are not bound to regulate
formalities. I demand that the Chamber will now decide upon
the course which it will take.

M. the PRESIDENT-It is a proposition which I cannot put
to the vote. —(Murmurs on the left.)

A private Letter from St. Petersburgh, dated
the 4th February, says, that in the Commercial •
world, complaints are still very prevalent, owing
to the dulness of trade. The consequence is, tie'
diminished circulation affects the quantum of
ready money ; and credits are by no means
easy as they were wont to be. The manufacturing
interest especially suffers the demand has so
sensibly decreased, within the last few months,
that several of the great fabriques have found it
necessary to dismiss from one third to one half of
their workmen. In addition to all this, the poll.
tical horizon is far from presenting a flattering
phasis at the present moment,
It is believed that the following are the new
Episcopal arrangements In Ireland I—Dr. Alexander, Lord
Bishop of Down, is to be outdated to tint Diocese of Meath, in
the mom of the deceased Prelate. Dr. iliant, Bishop of Kale.-
loe, is to be translated to Down.—And Dr. Arbothnut, Dean of
Cloyne, is to have the Bishotric of Kdltdoe.

dangerous movement at Madrid has not yet been
correctly ascertained ,• and perhaps it is one of
those events, the causes of which, from considera-

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

We have received by Express the 'lilac Paris
Paper of yesterday, and the Eloile of Mon-
day. The subjoined important extracts fully
conlir.rn all the statements which we have
made, and the reasonings into which we

have entered, for several weeks, respecting the
real state of the question between France and
Spain. In THE Surf of the 9.3 d ult. we said,
46 It is certain that at the moment of the Duke
d'ANGour.Emes departure from Madrid, it was
resolved, as we have stated in many
of our preced.
ing Papers, to enter into an immediate negociatiou
with the Constitutional Government. That wise

salutary intention was, however, abandoned,

in consequence of the new hopes excited by tha
defection of BALLASTEROS, and of the expecta-

on that on the arrival of the Prince before
Cadiz, that city and the person of the King of
SPAIN would be delivered by trcucherij into his
hands. But there are now many reasons for be-
lieving that the Duke has returned to his original
intention of effecting his object by a treaty,
which shall recognize the validity 9f all the acts
of the Cortes. The Councils of the French,
however, continue to he as much distinguished
for vacillation and uncertainty, as they were on
the grand question of commencing the war,
and there is no security that the rfsolution
solemnly formed by them to-day, will not
Le changed by the slightest veering of events 10:fere
to-morroze." Since the preceding sentences were
written, we have, as our Readers are aware, re-
peatedly stated our conviction that such another
taken place in the
chang6 had really inten-
tions of the French, and that no negoclations
were actually on foot. The Pik*, received this
day, states the same facts, and, considering the
more guarded language in which a French writer
must treat of affairs so nearly affecting hi.s Go-
vernment, almost in the same terms. 4fter hayi
ing twice manifested a disposition to negociate, the
determination to employ force alone was at length
finally adopted, and every prospect of a pacific
arrangement is for the present destroyed. But
we shall see the result of the combined attack'

IiOnERL. JAPAN, containing Illustrations of the Cha-
racter, Manners, Customs, Religion, Dress, Amusements,
Commerce, Agriculture, &c. of the People of that Empire.
We have several times noticed._ the progress of
the elegant and interesting work of which this
volume forms part of the series. Mr. SIIOI3EIII,
seems to spare no pains in order to render the
work as instructive in. substance as it is beautiful
in its exterior. The information which it contains
is obviously derived from the best authorities, and
afford a comprehensive view of the political sys-
tem of Japan; and the character and habits of
the people. The plates with which this volume
is embellished, amounting to twenty, are not
mere portraits of the several classes of the inha-
bitants, with their costume, but the individuals
are placed in appropriate and expressive action.
They are well coloured, and admirably illustrate
the text. We have seldom, in this department
of our Journal, had occasion to notice a more
pleasing and intelligent- work than this World
in Miniature, and we may fairly recommend it
to the attention of The World at Large.

BAYONNE MAIL.

I.lkroxgr, Au a. 28.—Though we have an extraordinary-
number of letters from Madrid to-day, they do not bring us
any thing remarkable. The Regency has ordered that those
among the persons still in prison who aro in bad health, shall
be immediately put upon their trial, that their confinement
easy be as short as possible. Other accounts, however, say
thst all persons confined for political offences are already set at
liberty.
Nothing is said of the army, which is the effect of the sus.
pension of arms; the last news from Cadiz since the arrival of
the Mike at Port St. Mary's continues to give a favourable
account of the health of the King and the Royal Family.—
Thera is a report ''tif an action at Ellin, in Muicia, be
tween the troops of Bessieres and those of Loch°, in which
the 10/15 is said to have been pretty equal—about one hundred
en each side.
The are reports at Madrid of a movement of the troops
Lopez Banos and Amor, who have 4,600 men between the caf
pital and Telavera. They are said to have sent some parties
.withha 20 miles of Madrid ; but it has been affirmed, on the
other hand, that they have concluded a suspension of arms
• with the Duke of Reggio, as introductory to their final sulnuis-
sits*. Oencral Castel dos Moe, with his troops, forms a part
vE axe Constitutional 'forces, which make them amount to 4,000
infantry, andl,ooo cavalry.
Several mums and priests have left Madrid to go on political
missions to the Provinces. There is still a tendency to ter-
' riseettation at Madrid, chiefly caused by the rabble, who are not
pied with the French, because the latter constantly oppose
the memos which they would willingly commit. The
Royalists are in hopes that every thing will be shortly settled
at Gediz .and some even say that the King of Spain and the
Royal Family were to dine with the Duke of Angouleme yes-
wider, thaßrith, at Port St. Mary's. The French line before
Cadiz is said to be concentrated between Porto Real and Port
:it. Mary's General Garbo, who has the command of the en-
gineers at the siege of Pampeluna, left this town last night.—
The King's ship Alsacienne, having been repaired, has sailed
agaie to resume its station before Santana.

[PRIVATE LETTER.]
of Ferdinand to
PARISI SEPT. I.—The reply
the communication of the Duke d'Angouletne
iiae been looked for here with great anxiety. It
appears that this answer destroys alt hope of ar-
tenement. It was given on the 23d, the last
day of the term granted by his Royal Highness,
anti, it is said, is couched in very strong language.
The King, who wrote it with his own hand, de-
clares, if we are accurately informed,
t. That he has never ceased to enjoy personal
tiberty until the period of the entrance of the
,French troops into Spain.
2. That the Wood which has been shed in this
unjust war will recoil upon the head of Louis
VI IL. and all Frenchmen.
3. That they are responsible before God for all
the ells that may happen either to Ferdinand or
'his family.
4. That the King relies, confidently, upon the
intervention of England.
This answer was to he communicated to all the

THUNDER,

The stOlin of Titesday week seems to have extended ovef a
great part of sussex, Kent, tssex, and the adjoining countiek.
The following , accounts describe some of the injurious effects
which attended it :

KENT.—On Tuesday se'nnight, a violent storm
of thunder and lightning passed over this place : the lightning
struck the parish church, and tore a very considerable portion
of the tiling from the roof, taking it at one corner, and strip.
ping it off diagonally. The flashes were extremely vivid and
luminous, and the awful pealing of the thunder was calculated
to impress every mind with terror. Happily the rain descended
copiously, which cooled the atmosphere, and prevented any
further mischief.
CANTERBURII7.—On Tuesday week, about twelve o'clock,
a most violent storm of lightning, thunder, and rain, passed
over this city. The lightning was alarmingly vivid, and the
thunder rolled with a roar so awfully loud as to appear Weed
" heaven's dread artillery."
During the thunder storm on Monday, the 25th ult., Mr. W.
Bushel, butcher, of Martham, having just turned off his horse
to marsh, was struck dead by the lightning. This is supposed
to have occurred about nine o'clock, but the body was not dis-
covered until three in the afternoon, by a girl going into the
same marsh to fetch up her cows. He had a stick in one hand,
and his bridle in the other, when found, and wait laying with
his face to the ground. The body was much disfigured by the
electric fluid, and hisliair and clothes nearly reduced to tinder.
A wile and six children are left to bemoan his loss.—(Bury
Post.)
During the storm of Monday morning, the 25th, an oak tree,
containing three loads of timber, growing in a field at Melba.
in Suffolk, belonging to the Right lion. J. H. Frere, was struck
with lightning and entirely stripped of its bark and thegreund
excavated to a considerable depth. The trunk of the tree is
completely shattered, so that in many parts it is divided into
fibres not bigger than the twigs of u birch broom, and some
pieces were thrown to a distance of 00 yards. Two men were
hoeing turnips in the field very near the tree when the storm
came on, but they prudently declined sheltering under it, and
went to a cottage at some distance, by which means they saved
their lives. It is not true that any cottages were burnt down at
Bacton ; but a barn and stable were destroyed at Wickham
Skeith by the lightning.—(/bid.)

TRADE WITH IVIArtTINIQUE.

The following appears' in the. Martinique
Gazette of June 25
ORDINANCE AUTHORISING THE IMPORTATION INTO TIM
COLONY OF FOREIGN FLOUR, AND VARIOUS OTRER
ARTICLES OF PROVISIONS.
In the name of the King,
Considering the present almost absolute scarcity of the pro-
duce of the country, from the successive unfavourable weather
for several months past, and regarding the disasters caused by
the gale of wind on the 19th of December last, that flour is ex-
tremely scarce and dear, and that, under present circumstances
we cannot depend upon reviving sufficient supplies of this com-
modity through the trade between this port and the metropolis ;
considering that as the hurricane season is approaching it is
necessary to ascertain as soon as possible the supply of food
necessary for this season, and until the provisions now planted
shall afford some resources ; seeing the urgency of the case,
and having consulted with the Council of Government and Ad-
ministration, we have ordered, and do order, to be executed
provisionally, and trusting to the approbation of his Majesty,
the following
• Article I.—Frotn this day until the Ist of December next,
exclusively, the flour of foreign wheat shall be adMitted into
this colony, paying the duties hereafter named : to wit--.
By foreign vessels, six per cent.
By French coasting vessels, three per cent.
. And by. French vessels' coming from the ,United States,
two per cent.

how much more important does it not become, if
the information given in a private letter (see an-
other column of Tun Sux), be correct ! That the
negociations should be broken off by the Cortes
would only be another instance of the firm and
patriotic spirit which they have already display-
ed on more than one occasion. It would there-
fore gratify, but not astonish. But that the King
himself abandoning that double-minded policy
which would have cost him his throne and his life,
had the Revolution taken place in any other
country than Spain, should have declared in
an autograph letter to the Duke of Angouleme,
that all the hypocritical pretences on which
France commenced the war were unfounded, and
that " he never ceased to enjoy personal liberty
until the period of the entrance of the French
troops into Spain," would be to state nothing
but the truth, but to state in a way calculated
to treble its power. To be told by the Mo.
narch for Whom he pretends to be fighting,
" that the blood shed in that unjust war
would recoil upon_the head of Louis XVIII.

and all Frenchmen," must remove from the mind
of the Prince Generalissimo himself that self de-
lusion under which he might possibly labour re-
specting the real wishes of Ferdinand. And if
after such a manifestation of sentiment, lie per-
sists in carrying on the War on the grounds on
which it was undertaken, he no longer fights
against the Cortes, but against the King himself.

LADY CAROLINE. DAMER..

EXTRAORDINARY AND EXTENSIVE ROBBERY or
lIER‘LAD.YSIIIP'S COUNTRY-SEAT.
the course of Wednesday night last, Milton
Ai;bkry near Hlandforti, Dorset, the seat of Lady CAROLINE
DAICEIIy was entered by thieves, who scaled a very high wall

through, who undid the fastenings of** outer door: of the hall,
by,which means free access to the inner apartmenta' waraphutin.
ed. There is no doubt entertained, from the manner in Which
the robbery was effected, that the 'Perpetratota were well se 1
quaintod with the premises, as they proceeded dire&to the
room where the plate was deposited, and after forcing 000
the door, in doing which they must have , expire** prat
difilcultY, as it was entirely of iron, and was streUred by two
strong iron bars, crossing each other, and which were both
broken in half, they found themselves in possession of a booty,
which we believe for a series of years past exceeds any that
has been obtained. The room contained upwards of a ton
weight of plate, consisting of a complete table service of large
massive gold covers, dishes, plates, knives and forks, &c. the
rest were entirely silver. Above half the plate was carried
off, and it is most extraordinary, that although great violence
must have been used in forcing the iron door, and the removal
of the plate would at least have occupied the space of two
hours, none of the servants were disturbed. The robbery was
discovered early on the follqwing morning, and information
was immediately sent to Lady -Darner, who was at her resi-
dence in town, Dorchester House, Park-lane, and in the
mean time every exertion was used at Milton Abbey for the
discovery of the delinquents, but without success; footsteps
were traced to and from a large pond, about two hundred yards
off, in which it was discovered that a large quantity of plate
had been thrown, no doubt with the intention of its being
fetched at a more convenient time, anti persons were watching
during the two following nights, but the robbers did not again
make their appearance.—The plate stolen is worth 16,0001. and
upwards.

RIDDLES

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS-aim DA.,)

Coirsrmtor AND FItADD.--.-4 Roland was put
to the bar on an indictment charging him with
having conspired, with a person named Hanson,
to defraud Col. Whately, and with having di-
frauded hint of thirty guineas. The factoof,tfle
case were, that in consequence of an advertise-
ment the Colonel went to the stablemyttad of
Roland, where he looked at several horses, and
at length fixed osi one. Roland being- asked
the horse was sound, he said he believed it *at.
Hanson conducted the rest of the transactions /tad
received the money. The horse, however, was,
after a very short ride, found to be unsound,
and in consequence was returned to Roland in
the name of Hanson. The defence set up was,
that Roland had no real or bona fide connictiou
with Hanson, who had made him the dupe of his
own villany, and then had absconded. It also
appeared that Roland had been applied to by
Hanson to let his horse stand at 116 stable until.
he advertised it. When Col. Whately applied
to Roland, he introduced him 'to Hanson, and
had no further share in the transactien.---Several.
respectable persons gave the defendant a. most
excellent character, and the lury foUnd him
Not Guilty.

KINGSTON SESSIONS, Ocr.

A case which excited no small degree of curiosity came on
before the. Bench, who were supplied with the, opportunity of
punishing one crime effectually by means of another'.
A man named Young-, on the lfirli of August last,• broke
open and entered the' houSe of.. William • • Btiokley, at:Serbs:l
and Ripley, between the hours of four and eight in the
morning. A constable who saw him enter the 'house followed
him Soon after; 'and 'found, him imsy 'at the, larder in 'eating
bread und_cheese, apparently; with a grecilineee that was cal-
culated to excuse the violence of the approach. Young offered
no resistance, but continued to devour the bread 'and cheese,
and said 'he had broken, open the house to satisfy hichinger.
Compassion, we believe,- for the deplorable condition of,themaz
prevented the person, whose house was entered Tram prosecuting,
the hungry thief, who therefore' regained his liberty. Hi was.
not free many days, liowever, when, he wasstized with another
sort of appetite.
As Mr. Passcy, a stationer, was walking on the 20th of the
same month, near i'wbeat-field, a short distance from town, he
saw a little bop standing at the, gate of the field, and heard ,the
screams:of a female issuing from the otherside. Ile immediately,
got over thergate, and saw under the' hedge the starving' Mr.,
Young endeavouring to violate a little girl scarcely ten years of,
age. • The delinquent started up -on seeing the stranger, who
askedhim ,what be wa about 7. The .fellow pulled small bun-
the of corn from under 'the child's head, and said she had been.
stealing in the `field. " said Mr. -Passey," you haie
been taking improper liberties with
.the ,child,, and you shall!
come.with me. ' " No," said Young, " I have not, and .I
will riot go." The fellow then seized a reaping.hook, aimed a.

attnlifiatsseheyl,now4th!yi,palmvoitdstpitgis, retiagemult ehiytn2
*Young having been thargecl with thie Offence, it was thought
necessary to bring forwarct evidence in.both eases, in order 'that

he might be properly punished for his tupelo ippetite, as
exemplified in each accusation.
He was convicted of stealing the bread and cheese; but the
Prosecutor kept the burglary out of view. A. verdict of guilty
wait returned.
Soon afterwards he was put to the bar on the, chew 9£ At-
temPting to violate the little girl, Elizabeth neathorn. Tile
attempt was, most satisfactorily, proved. Fortunately the child
sustained no injury, Air. Passey's interference being just in
time to prevent it. The fellow had taken her fromthelemb..
pony of her little brother, who was walking with her, tpld her
he would give her some wheat, carried her int& a fieldt. last'
once proceeded to the violence described. He was. found
of the attempt, and sentenced to transportation tot seVetr year:
but the Chau:nap. told him it was for. therobheFy alone.
