Excitement still continued in the Basque provinces,

Mr. Aston, the new British Minister at the Court of
Madrid, made the following speech to the Queen Regent,
on being presented :
" Madam,— On delivering to your Majesty the letters of
her Majesty the Queen of England, which accredits me as
her Ambassador to Queen Isabella 11. , your august daughter,
I have especial commands from my Sovereign to renew the
assurances of the lively interest which the Queen of E ,gland
has in the welfare and happiness of her Catholic Majesty,
and of your Majesty, as likewise of her sincere desire to
strengthen the bonds of alliance and f-iendship that so
happily exist between the Crowns of Spain and Great
Britain. My august Sovereign orders me also to ex-
press the hope that the heroic sacrifices and glorious er
forts made by the Spanish nation to maintain the rights of
their Sovereign and Constitutional liberty will be crowned
with complete success, and that the Spanish people wiJ
soon enjoy peace and tranquillity, and never ending pros-
perity."_

Ttt.e Queen made answer—
" I hale heard, with the most lively satisfaction, the
assurances which yeti me in the name of h. r ,Majesty
the Queen of England, and I will continue to strengthen
the bonds of amity which happily unite the two nations,
not only by a sentiment of affection, but alio from grati-
tude. With her Majesty the Queen of England, I in-
dulge the flattering hope that victory will soon crown the
heroic efforts of the Spanish nation in favour of Constitu-
tional liberty, and the throne of my august daughter."

tremoulin, who repulsed the charge with the most
animated pantomime. By the expression of his
gestures, which were mingled with the most lively
dactylology, it was supposed that he contended that
he bad been provoked, and had only defended him-'
self. Soon his gestures became more eager, he
grew warm, struck his breast, and raised his head,
thereby indicating that he would go with front
erect. It was then supposed that he had himself
been the object of a scandalous accusation. He
frequently traced a rapid furrow with his right
middle finger from the interior of the palm to the
extremity of his left middle finger, imitating the
motion of a drum-player.
M. Vaisse explained, that the accused by this
sign declared that he had been charged with fraud
by the plaintiff, who reproached him with being a
false brother, and that he also defended himself
from all premeditation. He did not belong to the
Central Society of the Deaf and Dumb, and went
there without any fixed purpose with two of his
friends, who had business with the members of the

the bureau and insult them. At the moment when
M. Betthier, the President, left with the member:
of the bureau to which M. Pelissier belonged, tl:e
latter was struck in the face by one of the men,
who with several others had lain in wait for mo rt
than an hour at a wine-merchant's.

President—And is the accused the person nho
struck him ?

M. Pelissier answered by pointing twice at the
accused, who repeated his explanations, signified
that he had been provoked, and that he had only
repelled his insult with a backhanded blow (here
he twice repeated the sign described above), after
he had been called before all his companions a false
brother, and a man not to be trusted.
President—Was the accused drunk ?
The accused, on this question being transmitted
to him, answered by laughing and by imitating a
man with a staggering gait, that he was not in that
stare, and then by it significant grimace expressed
his horror of a drunkard.

The witnesses for the plaintiff were then heard,
and justified his complaint, A new difficulty arose
on the deposition of a young artist, named John
Carlin. He was of a striking figure, and had a
most intelligent look, but unfortunately, though he
knew the universal language of mimicry, he could
only give English words by the means of dactylo-
logy. M. de Monglave stated that he was not very
familiar with English, but with the assistance of a
Mr. Wallis, and by means of a double interpreta-
tion, questions and answers were transmitted to the
tribunal.

M. Coquelet, an engraver in the Depot de la
Guerre, also deaf and dumb, declared through the
interpreter that the plaintiff had termed the accused
a false brother. He designated the plaintiff by the
sobriquet of " the poet," which he expressed in his
mimic language by tracing unequal lines on
his hand.

M. de Monglave (to M. Vaisse)—What does
he mean by this word " poet ?"
M. Vaisse—The deaf and dumb call M. Pelis-
sier, who was formerly repetileur (monitor) at the
school at Toulouse; " the poet," because he makes
verses. He was not du►nb from his birth, and, al-
though he has lost the gift of speech, he remem-
bers enough of poetical rhythm to produce poems
which are considered remarkable.
The witnesses for the accused, also taken from
among the deaf and dumb, maintained that there
was no ambush, and that the accused had only
pushed back M. Pelissier after being provoked by
a gesture which conveyed the injurious meaning
that he was a false brother.

The tribunal merely condemned M. Contre-
moulin to a fine of 25f., and directed M. Vaisse to
explain to him that indulgence was shown from
hopes that the lesson would be a profitable one,
and that such scenes would not take place in future.
M. Contremoulin thanked the tribunal directly,
and, addressing himself to the greffier, asked him
by gestures whether he should pay at once. The
greffier answered in writing, that he would write to
him when the fine should be paid.
The audience dispersed immediately, and the
most animated discussions continued amongst the
deaf and dumb in the ante-chamber of the tribunal,
and even in the hall of the Pas Perdue.

sistance.

tuisQed his purse, containing five sovereigns, which he had

THE CANNON INVENTION.

WASHINGTON, MARCH 18, 1840.-4 WAS invited to
witness a great exhibition at the Arsenal, on Saturday
evening last, of the firing of Mr. Cockran's patent re-
volving cannon, which is considered such a great inven-
tion, and such a valuable improvement in the engines
of war—the ultinta ratio of kings. The firing corn.
menced at five o'clock, in the great square of the
Arsenal, and the gun was pointed in the direction of the
river Fotomac. The members of the Cabinet, the
Speaker of the House of Representatives, and the
Chairman and members of the Military Committee, and
the Committee on Foreign Affairs, and a large number
of the members of both Houses of Congress were
present, with many citizens, and distinguished officers
of the army and navy.
The firing was superintended by Mr. Cockran him-
self, and it gave universal satisfaction. No ramrod or
sponge is used with the gun, and it fires with extraor-
dinary rapidity—it sent the balls across the Potomac
river, which is near two miles wide at this point.
Many looked on with delighted surise, and not a
few with amazement, during the operationpr , as ball after
bah, with the dashing of fire, came forth from the same
muzzle in such rapid succession ; and being;
in itself equal to the battery of eight common guns.
The inventor, Mr. Cockran, stood by the side of the
gun, and loaded and fired it himself. He has gained
great reputation abroad, and his talents are, at this
time, attracting the notice of Congress, who are about
to take measures to patronise his valuable inventions.
Col Talbot, of the Arsenal Dopartnient, was present.
The Arsenal here is a very pretty place, laid out in
green squares, and ornamented with the materials of
war cannons, and piles of balls and sheds. It is well
worthy of a visit. On this occasion it had a lively
appearance, from the throngs of carriages and people.

THE RUSSIAN FLEET.

We have received the following news in a letter from
St. Petershurgh, dated Oct. 13 :

" Tho Russian fleet of twenty-three sail, namely,
nine ships of the line and fourteen frigates, is to sail
to-morrow. Part of the ships will go to Copenhagen,
and part to Plymouth, to await the course of events."
This information, which we receive from the best
authority, will excite some sensation. It is evident
that Russia sends its fleet out of the Baltic that it may
be able to make use of it during the winter, and that
it may not be blocked up by the ice in the port of Cron-
stadt. This squadron may join that of the Black Sea,
making together an effective force of thirty ships of the
line, besides the frigates and smaller vessels. Its pre-
sence in the port of Plymouth is a menace suspended
over us. And while this is passing the French Go-
vernment appears to yield.
It should seem that on learning the sailing of the
Russian filet the Government ought to re-inforce our
squadron in the Mediterranean. It does just the con-
trary. If our information is correct, advantage is
taken of the resignation of the Ministry to interrupt the
armaments. Admiral Duperre, who was to command
our squadron, will not repair to his post, and the fleet
will be dispersed. What more could be done if it were
intended to disarm us and expose us to an aggression?—

THAMES TUNNEL—Yesterday the first stone
of this gigantic undertaking was laid on the Wapping side
of the river, at which interesting ceremony Mr. Brunel,
the engineer of the works, took occasion to make a few re-
marks to the miners and others who have been engaged
in its construction. He observed that they might soon
expect to open a door for the shield on the south side, and
that they could already hear the knocks, as it were, at the
door. They might form an appropriate idea of the vast
work they had accomplished, as the tide was then " at high
water, and he was cordially thankful to them for their
conduct and perseverance through difficulties and dangers

moral, and various in its display of common place and uncom-

FOREIGN COMPETITION.

k commercial ffiend connected with the Brazilian
trade has put the following extract from a letter from
Pernambuco into our hands. It shows how formidable
the competition of the continental manufacturers is be-
coming in neutral markets :
Extract of a letter from Pernambuco, dated Septem-
ber, 1840 :—" We have not yet been able to dispose of
your hardware ; the offers we have had are miserable,
and we fear we must submit to the reduced prices of-
fered, as very similar articles have been sold lately by
the German houses for the same offers we have bad.
Indeed, they are cutting us out of the market very fast."
Can this be wondered at when the great staple of
human subsistence is so immensely dearer in this country
than it is on the Continent ?—Liverpool Times.
[There is another reason. Our merchants cannot

nerve killer, has at length effected that grand desideratum since
