We have just conversed with a ,gentleman who has
arrived this morning from Bolougne, who informs us
that the French are busy in fortifying the place
with two batteries of sixteen guns, and one of twenty
guns ; the former are placed one in front of the Bathing
Establishment, and the other of sixteen guns on the
point south of the Harbour ; that of twenty guns on
the Cliff. The people in office there have lost all
their usual civility, and at present arc ill-behaved to-
wards the English. The above gentleman's servant
was seized by the throat on going on board, by the

embark, but his master having come to his assistance,

FRENCH AFRICA.

The ilioniteur Algcrien of the 28th ult., contains
the following ordonnance issued by Marshal Vallee :
" The present state of Algeria requiring a rigorous
surveillance of the port of Algiers and its approaches,
the following regulations have been decided upon, and
their execution entrusted to the charge of the Rear-
Admiral in command of the ships on the station :
" Art. 1. All ships of commerce, vessels, and boats
of every description, are forbidden to enter or leave
the port between sun-set and gun-fire in the morning.
From this measure are exempted such fishing vessels as
are furnished with a permit from the directors o the
port, which they shall be bound to show each time to
the guard-ship stationed at the port, who has orders to
inspect it.

" Art. 2. Every vessel or boat entering or leaving the
port between sunset and gun-fire in the morning, with-
out making itself known to the guard-ship, will expose
itself to be sunk by this ship.
" Art. 3. All ships intending to take their departure
in the night must go out into the roathtead in the even-
ing after having been visited. Those who, being at an-
chor, or, coming in from sea, shall be in danger from
foul weather, will necessarily be admitted to enter the
port by night as well as by day."
The same Journal contains a decree, sequestrating
and adding to the State domains all property in the
town of Cherchell, and in the zone of the defence of
that place which should remain unclaimed on the first
of October, and for forming a colony of 100 families at
Cherchell, each of whom is to receive a house in that
town, and about twenty acres of land, on condition of
repairing the house and cultivating the land in the course
of 1841. The town and territory of Cherchell are to
be placed in the jurisdiction of the tribunals of Algiers.

EASTERN NEWS.

(From the French papers of Wednesday.)
The France asserts that the Government has received
an official contradiction of the rumour that the Allied
forces had been forced to re-embark and abandon the
camp near Beyrout.
A correspondent of the Univers, on board one of the
ships of.the French Levant squadron, gives the following
sketch of Commodore Napier, as being the opinion ge-
nerally entertained of him in the fleet :—"Commodore
Napier is an old post-captain—a discontented Radical,
crying out against everybody, saying that ttie English
Admiralty are all a set of ignoble:, and yet he is repre-
sented as a good kind of man ; he is a Scotchman, and
he is liked by the English—a curious circumstance. His
active bustling disposition has, no doubt, caused him to
be selected for the part which he bas commenced play-
ing, and will probably keep up. Asa Radical he works
hard to humble the Pacha, who, it must be allowed, has
not much of the Radical in him."
The Alexandrian correspoedent of a German paper
mentions a rumour of 5,000 Turkish troops having de-
serted to Mehemet Ali from the pachalic of Bagdad.
The Courrier de Bordeaux state' that the island of
Amfilo, off the
Abyssinian coast of the Red Sea, has
been ceded to France b the King Oubia, and that a
French merchant-vessel ,y laden with goods of different
a
kinds, accompanied by corvette, was expected to go
thither to take possession. Twenty-two pieces of ar-
tillery were to be carried to the island in exchange for
presents sent to the Kin of the French, by the me-
dium of M. Lefevre, theg traveller, who has resided
some time in Abyssinia.
" It will be learnt with surprise," says on Alexandrian
correspondent of the Semai bore, `, though perfectly
true, that the hered:ts ~
,;ejrnnient of the Island of
Cyprus has been dr . ,--. i: I 1 h
u,!raCtYtO°oooitian 2.lcia by the Four
Powers and the Salute, with the view of inducing him
to abandon the causs;
of Mehemet Ali. It would be
Superfluous to u
give the ansAer of the Alljor-General of
the Egyptian army, The armaments in Egypt are be-
come more considerable, and the blockade by the
English foes not prevt:nt supPlie' of amniunition and
provislons from reaching Syria In twenty days three
convoys, of 5,000 carnets each, find,, bcen sent thaber
from Cairo, and measures have bevii taken to augment
this mode of conv "
eyance it necessary.

Under the Management of a Board of Directors.
This Society, in addition to the general business of Insur-
ance Companies, has been formed for the purpose of enabling
persons of very moderate means to attain those objects hitherto
confined to the more wea_thy, v;z. :-
Ist. Insuriisg their lives in sums from 51. and upwards, se-
curing; Deferred Annuities as a provision for Old Age; Weekly
Allowances during Sickness ; and Endowments for Children,
the Premiums being divided into Monthly Instalments for the
convenience of the Insured. Also for the protection of such
as possess only a small personal property, Insurances are effected
against loss by Fire, in sums from 101. to 1001., by Quarterly
Payments ; thus Household Goods, Wearing Apparel, Stock
in Trade, Workmen's Tools, &e., to the value of 20/. can be
Insured, on payment of Sixpence every Three Months, duty
included.
The attention of the Public is particularly directed to this
very novel feature, for the man to whom this-fact is known, will
hence:orth deserve little sympathy should he become the victim
of a calamity, against the evils of which he could so readily
have guarded.
Prospectuses, detailing at length the various modes and rates
of Insurance, can be obtained on application at the office, 351,

`WAR. WITH FRANCE.—HAVRE, OCT. 7.
I am not an alarmist, and it is far from my wish to say
one word on the present aspect of affairs which may create
unnecessary anxiety. But when I find that every packet
from England brings over passengers, confident that mat-
ters are not at all altered, but that peace and amity are
as firmly established as they were six months ago; when
in fact, I find them totally ignorant of the unfortunate
state of this country and of the general excitement per-
vadiq; every class of people, I think it right to enable
you to undeceive those at home, and to tell them honestly
that war or insurrections will pervade this beautiful coup,
try bef 3re December snows will have fallen on it. Despite
the wisdom of the good King, he will be driven to the
former, or have to contend against the latter; and the
sooner foreigners residing in France prepare t set their
houses in order the better.

GERMANY.

FRANKFORT, OCT, 2.—The treaty of the 15th of
July has been published here at full length, with all its
clauses, in the Austrian Observer and in the Vienna
Gazette ; in the latter in the original French text, ac-
companied with a German translation. The German
Courts have therefore not changed their view of the
necessity which induced them to become contracting
parties : they acted upon conviction, and are prepared
to hear the responsibility they have incurred.
Europe at large has great reason to be grateful to the
Austrian Government for the tact and decision with
which it has acted in this eventful crisis. Like some
good genius, reserving its aid for a moment of need, the
Austrian Cabinet has thrown its weight at the critical
time into the scale, and its exertions can only serve to
keep the,balance of power in Europe inviolate. What-
ever good wishes the Western Governments may enter
tain, Austria is the true preserver of the existence of
the Turkish empire on the north ; and her line of steam-
boats on the Danube, extending to Trebisond, was the
only eff. ctive measure adopted against the treaty of
Unkiar Skclessi, and which made that contract a nu-
gatory one for aggressive purposes.
Count Fiquelmont, late Ambassador from Austria
at the Court of St. Petersburgh, has taken his seat
as Minister of State and Conference in the Vienna
Cabinet.

The Prussian Court has gone into mourning for
three days, on account of the death of the Princess
Charlotte of Mecklenburg Schwerin. The popularity
of the King has suffered nothing by his answer to the
provincial Estates of East and West Prussia. Not
much inclined to sudden changes. the Germans prefer
the prospect of a steady improvement, while no imme-
diate pressure urges them to precipitate measures, or
sudden and violent changes.

ASSAULT UPON AN ENGLISHMAN

SMYRNA, SEPT. 19.—0 n Sunday, the 30th ult.., a
most unwarrantable insult was offered to an English
gentleman named Gout, by two of the guards
belonging to the Aga of the village of Boudga, a
short distance from town. It would appe ,r that,
having made an engagement to go out shooting
with his friend, he had fired off his gun as a signal to
show he was ready. Upon this he was seized by the
Guard, his gun taken away, himself grossly abused and
beaten, and then taken to the Aga, who, by his indiffer-
ence, gave encouragement to his men, who in his pre-
sence broke the gun of the young gentleman in question
into pieces.

Mr. Gout could obtain no redress, and on quitting
the Aga was again followed by the guard, his cap rudely
torn from his head and trampled under foot, himself again
beaten, and with a drawn yatagan flourished over his
head, and a loaded gun presented at him by one of the
men, was menaced by horrid imprecations that his heart
should be burnt, and his blood drunk ! Upon com-
plaint being made by our worthy Consul, Mr. Brant,
to his Ex celleney the Governor, he lost no time in
causing an investigation of the circumstances to be
entered into, and having discovered that the Aga and his
men had been guilty of an unwarrantable insult,
the former was dismissed from his post, and the
two latter exiled, having previously been condemned to
restore the value of the gun, broken in wanton malice, to
Mr. Gout. We congratulate his Excellency on the result
of this business. We perceive that the laws are not to be
violated with impunity by persons under his jurisdiction,
and, though in some instances his agents may be remiss
or negligent in their duty, we have the assurance that
his Excellency will maintain and rigorously execute the
laws now is force throughout the empire, when crimi-
nsls are found guilty upon indisputable evidence.—

GERMANY.

VIENNA, Nov. 23.—M. Cremieux is now at Vienna
and gives a very deplorable account of the state of
Egypt. He cannot find words to express the astonish-
tnent he felt when he became convinced how unfounded
all the absurd accounts were with which Clot Bey,
Puckler, Muskan, and other admirers of the Viceroy
amused Europe.
Sir Moses Montefiore embarked at Constantiple, on
board a steam boat, to return to London, by way of
Toulon.

TRIESTE, Nov. 22.—The news of the taking of S.
Jean d'Acre has caused a great sensation here. The
Allied troops found immense quantities of ammunition
and provisions in the fortress. It is surprising that
the Egyptian troops, who might have employed the
night of the 3d in savir.g the public treasure. neglected
to do so. There was at Acre a sum of two millions

(Piasters or florins ?) which belonged to the Egyptian
Government. The news of the taking of Damascus
has come by way of Athens ; but many persons doubt
it, though it is sWi I to come from good authority.
VIENNA, Nov. 23.—News was received here yester-
day from a pretty good quarter, though not positively
certain, that the Paella of Bagdad was on his march
to occupy Damascus. It seems that it was a rocket
thrown from the Austrian frigate La Guerriera, that
blew up the powder magazine at St. Jean d'Acre, by
which the garrison, a great part of which was buried
under the ruins, was induced to evacuate the fortress.
The Archduke Frederick, and the officers who first ven-
tured :to enter, met with no resistance. The stores
captured are immense.

FEG V. STEAD.

In this case the defendant had entered into a contract
to purchase 20 tons of the best Dutch lead at 5/. 55., to
be paid for by Prussian potash at Is. 3d. per lb. The
lead was delivered, but the defendant had only delivered
1571b5., in place of 1,7001b5., which the contract bound
him to do. The plaintiff, therefore, brought his action
to recover the balance.

Mr. ERLE, for the defendant, said he was instructed to
state that the lead was of the best quality on the top of
the barrel, but was of an inferior quality in the interior.

Mr. KELLY denied the fact wholly. A cross action was
the proper manner of trying such a question.
His LolSDStttt• said the action was brought upon a spew
cific contract, and, according to the pleadings in the case,
they could not enter into anything out of the contract.--
Verdict for the plaintiff, damages 691. I s.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE

MAN S I 0 N- H 0 USE.
Charles Barrett, Sarah Ilibbert, and Robert Cleveley,
were charged before Alderman Wilson, under the fol•
lowing circumstances :
Mr. Massey, of B►rchin-lone, watchmaker, stated that
on the 19th September, between the hours of eight in
the evening and six the next morning, his shop was
broken into, or rather broken out of, and robbed of pro-
perty to the amount of 801. The prisoner Barrett, who
had been witness's apprentice, and afterwards had been
articled to him, lately confessed the robbery, and stated
that he had sold all the plunder for 51, to a Jew in Pet-
ticoat-lane. The case was aggravated by the fact that
Barrett had robbed him before, and been but slightly
punished in consequence of his intercession with the
Judge after the trial.
Sergeant Power, of the Metropolitan Police, who
very cleverly got together the evidence, called the to'-
lowing witnesses :
Elizabeth Hawes, of Mile-end New Town, stated
that on the day after the robbery of Mr. Massey, Bar-
rett called at her house at hall-past six o'clock in the
morning, upon Cleveley, who lodged there, and with
whom he was on terms of intimacy. Next day Barrett
and Sarah Hibbert, who was supposed to be his
wife, called at the house, and Barrett came down
stairs with a bag, which appeared to be full and
heavy, and went out, and Cleveley followed
them in a short time. At three o'clock Barret re-
turned alone, and brought the bag with him, and told
1 witness he wanted to leave it up stairs. On coming
down stairs he said ho had broken five or seven shillings

FRANK V. FRANK.

This was an issue directed by the MASTER of the Rom.s,
to try whether a &ceased gentleman (a relation of the
parties), whom a Commission de lunatic inquirendo had
found insane, was without lucid intervals, at the time of the
execution of certain deeds. The Jury, on the inquiry,
returned a verdict that Mr. Frank was of unsound mind Irons
June, 1816. Mr. Jarvis, for the plaintiff in this issue
(being defendant in Chancery), now produced a a number
of letters written by the alleged lunatic in the years 1916,
1817, 1818, and 1819, relating to domestic and pecuniary
affairs, the letting of his mansion, Campshall, in Yorkshire,
and other matters Of business, addressed to his sons and
daughters at school, to various members of his family, and
to his agents, in which there was no trace of an
unsound mind or of incapacity to manage his own
affairs. His cash. book, banker's, and other accounts,
were also put in, and they appeared to have been kept with
a clearness and regularity, much beyond what might be
expected from an opulent country gentleman. From the
letters it could not fail to be inferred that lie was a man
of considerable intelligence, exceedingly attached to his
children, and perfectly sane ; although there ran a plea-
sant vein of eccentricity through the whole of his corres
pondence. In 1819, as Mr. Jarvis admitted, Mr. Frank being
separated from his wife, of whose conduct he disapproved,
he considered it improper to yield to the wishes of her
• children to be permitted to see her, and being on this ac-
count, and through the lonesomness of his own situation,
in an unhappy state of mind, he formed an improper eon-
xion with a Mrs. Barry, under whose allurements he
deviated from the habits of prudence, and incurred an ex-
penditure which his circumstances did not warrant. In 1820
he went to travel on the Continent, when in conscquenc of ca-
taract in his eyes, he was obliged to hive an amanuensis. In
18.21, being comfortable with his family, and away from all
improper influence, he executed a deed of one of his man-
sions, and some other deeds in the presence of his family,
his lawyer, and opulent and most respectable neighbours,
who had no hesitation to enter into contracts with and to
accept conveyances from him. It was on the Bth of March,
in that year, the deed which is the chief subject-matter of
the present suit in Chancery was executed.
The case was not finished when we went to press.

PARIS THEATRICALS.

The Opera intends bringing out the Favorite in the
early part of the ensuing month, if the wet weather will
allow the decorations to be ready in time. Madame Dorus
Gras has just renewed her engagement at the French
Opera, which cannot but be a subject of congratulation to
all parties. The debut of Mdlle. Heinefeuer is adjourned
for an indefinite period, owing to the artiste and the direc-
tors n,lt being able to come to terms. The cooper of
Rouen, who is to overthrow Duprez, still continnes, at the
expense of the Opera, his musical and grammatical educa-
tion ; when he can sing, speak, and walk, we shall see
whether it will not be more advisable to send him back to
his staves ani hoops than to allow him to make his debut.
Anxiety is felt as to the safety of Nldlle. F. Elsa ; she
left New York on the 2d inst., and the vessel has not yet
arris ed.

The Comedic Franclise is in good vein. The Vcrre
il'Eau is going off there with flying colours, performing
every night to crowded houses ; but with all this attraction
parties who have seen it say that it does nut hold out any
inducement for a second visit.

The Opera Comique is by degrees getting rid of all its
grand singers, both male and female, who (with the ex-
ception of Mme. Damoreau) draw larger salaries than they
do houses.

At the Vaudeville, La illansarde du Crime has a great
run ; all the world goes to enjoy the comic humour of

Arnal.

Palais Royal.—The return of Mdlle. Dejazet is delayed
from day to day, in consequence of the protracted indispo-
sition of that accomplished actress. Her appearance is,
however, hoped for at the end of this week. A piquante
little friend is promised for immediate production ; its title
is Les Guepes. It is feared by some that they will have
left their sting at the burbau of the censure.
The Renaissance will re-open on the sth of next month ;
and the Porte St. Martin on the Ist. The companies at
both houses arc formed, and hold out expectations of suc-
cess to the treasuries of both. _ _

The English compwer, Mr. Balfe, is employed in writ-
ing an opera for the Opera Comique. The libretto is the
work of M. Scribe and M. Escudier. Report speaks
highly of the music. Mr. Balfe, whose compositions are
so well known at this side of the Channel, has been re-
ceived with great distinction by his brother artists and by
the principal amateurs of Paris. Ile has sung in several
noble houses with great applause, but it appears lie has
declined the proposition made to him by the directors of
the Opera Comique to take a leading part in his own
new opera.
