ROYAL DECREE.

Considering that the secur and tranquillity of these kingdoms
require that vigorous measures should be taken to prevent the spirit
of party or sordid interest from affording nourishment to the civil
war which unhappily desolates certain provinces ; being desirous to
prevent any attempts to land arms, military assistance, or stores,
in the ports or on the coasts of the north of Spain, for the use of
Spaniards in rebellion ; and, with a view to self-defence, looking
rather to the prevention of evil than to its subsequent remedy ;
have ordained as follows, in the name of my august Daughter,
Donna Isabella 11., and with the advice of my Council of Ministers:
1. Besides the general prohibition directed by the laws and re-
gulations of the Custom-house against the introduction and land-
ing of arms, ammunition, or warlike stores, another more special
and rigorous prohibition shall be enforced for that portion of the
coast included between Cape Finisterre and the Mouth of the Bi-
dassoa.
2. The ships of the royal navy, the guarda costas, and other
Spanish vessels, as likewise the fortified places, forts, and land bat-
teries, shall oppose by force the landing of the said articles, as be-
ing designed for keeping up the civil war in these kingdoms.
3. Every vessel that shall be found laden with arms, warlike
stores, ammunition, or other articles contraband of war, provided
that such vessel shall approach the said coast within six miles, mani-
festing, by that act alone, her intention and design to 'disembark
the above-mentioned articles, shall be considered to be suspected of
the said hostile intention, and shall be detained, and the arms, and
warlike stores which she carries shall be embargoed until a further
decision shall be adopted, according to the importance and the cir-
cumstances of the case.

4. My Secretary of State shall forthwith communicate this
Decree to the Ambassadors, Ministers, and Diplomatic and Con-
sular Agents of my august Daughter in foreign countries, in order
that sufficient publicity being given to these regulations, those who
may infringe them may not be able to plead ignorance.
b. The other Secretaries of State in their several Departments
shall issue the most precise orders and adopt the proper measures,
in order that this my Royal Decree may have immediate and full
effect.

This you shall understand, and you shall take the necessary steps
for its accomplishment.
(S;gned by the Royal Hand.)

BOULOGNE-SUR-MER, SEPT. 12.—A shocking
event occurred near the Column on Sunday, in the assassina-
tion of an unfortunate Custom-house officer, named Trudin,
who was on duty near the Column of Boulogne, when he saw
two persons carrying large bundles, which afterwards proved
to be smuggled tobacco. Trudin insisted on knowing what
the parcels contained in the name of the law, when one of the
villains instantly discharged a pistol, and shot the ill-fated
douanier through the body. The poor fellow only survived
his wound three hours. In consequence of information com-
municated by Trudin, a man named Chocon was arrested. In
his possession were found two pistols, one of which had been
recently discharged.—Between four and five o'clock on Wed-
nesday afternoon, the governess of the children of a gentle-
man named Grieve took her agves their accustomed walk on
the cliffs beyond the Bains. The children were two boys and
three girls, from fourteen to five years of age. They descended
the cliffs, and were proceeding -along the beach, the young
ladies being rather en avant with the eldest boy, the "
gover-
nante" following with the youngest boy, holding him by the
hand, when instantaneously immense piece of rock fell
from the hill and struck the ill-fated infant, burying him under
the stones, and which also struck the governess, who, how-
ever, sustained no further injury than having her toes seriously
bruised. The three girls received very severe contusions by
the falling stones, and the eldest boy was struck a dreadful
blow on the head. The shrieks of the children attracted the
attention of several persons, and the unfortunate infant was
with difficulty taken from beneath the mass of rock, and con-
veyed to the house of the Humane Society; but the medical
assistance, which was instantly rendered, was of no avail, the
child was dead ; the rock had crushed its chest, and dislocated
one arm and leg. Mr. Grieve, informed of the sad catastro-
phe, hastened to the spot, and his lady made a fruitless effort
to follow, but her strength failed, and she was compelled to
remain at home in a dreadful state of agitation. Mr. Grieve,
who had been absent some weeks in London, arrived only the
same morning from England. He crossed from Dover in an
open boat with some friends, congratulating himself on causing
his family an agreeable surprise, as he was not expected. The
accident has created a very general feeling of commiseration
i for the family.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

DONCASTER, MONDAY ErENINa.

Since our last communication the town has been kept in a
constant bustle by the arrival of visitors of all ranks, and from
all quarters. Lodgings have let well, the weather is beauti-
ful, and everything indicates a good meeting. A great num-
ber of horses were out at exercise this morning, and more than
a thousand persons were on the ground to see them gallop ;
Plenipo wont beautifully, and obtained general admiration ;
General Chasse deservedly attracted a good deal of notice ;
with the exception of the favourite he was the smartest-look-
ing horse on the course, goes well, is of a good size, and if not
overpaced, will certainly be in the front rank, all his races
having proved him to be both stout and honest.
The new betting rooms are opened in the same splendid
stile as formerly ; several hundred subscribers have already
entered their names, and it is continually crowded, not for the
purpose of betting on it but of talking about the St. Leger,
which is looked upon as so great a certainty that speculators
wish it was over, that they may begin on the Derby.
The arrangements on the course, and in the town, for the
protection and convenience of the visitors, are liberal, judi-
cious, and complete ; a new town police has been organised
on the same plan as the metropolitan—it is a very useful and
conspicuous corps, with an uniform of so original a character,
that we cannot avoid describing it only to furnish a pattern—
to be avoided :—The coat is of dark blue, with red cuffs, and
a stand-up collar fancifully divided into compartments of red
and blue, on the blue squares being represented in white a
desperate-looking lion rampant, with a flag in his dexter paw,
which same device is, in some favoured instances, depicted on
the coat sleeve in flaming red ; the trowsers are white, and
the hat low-crowned, broad-brimmed, and glazed with a broad
white band round it—here, too, we have the " Lion of Don-
caster" staring us in the face " flag in hand." The dress is
precisely that of a horse-marine, and may do very well to
keep the thieves in awe, but will place the wearers in no small
jeopardy on the sth of November. We have no fault to find
with any thing beyond the dress, for the men have been admi-
rably drilled by Messrs. Timbs and Leadbitter, and are very
serviceable.

, The company on the course to-day was fashionable and nu-
merous ; the weather extremely beautiful ; and the sport excel-
lent. Time will not permit of our giving a list of the arrivals,
but it shall be furnished in our next. We subjoin an account
of the running :
The Fitzwilliam Stakes of 10 sovs. each, and 20 sovs. added by the
Corporation ; three yrs. 7st. 51b. ; 4 yrs., Bst. 51b. ; 5 yrs.
Bst. 121 b. ; 6 yrs. and aged, 9st. Mile and a half.
Mr. Orde's Tomboy, by Jerry, 5 yrs
Mr. Ridsda:le's Marcellina, by Lottery 2
Mr. S. Fox's Goldbeater, by Gaberlunzie, 3 yrs
Betting-6 to 5 agst Tomboy, and 5 to, 4 agst. Marcellina.
Tomboy made running, followed by Goldbeater to the Red-
house, where Marcellina took the second place : beyond this
she could not get, as the horse kept his lead to the end, and
won very easy by about two lengths ; ridden by Johnson, the
filly by Nicholson, and Goldbeater by Lye.
The Champagne Stal-es of 50 sovs. each, h. ft. ; for two yrs. old
colts, Bst. 51b. ; and fillies, Bst. 31b. The winner to give six
dozen of Champagne to the Racing Club. Red House in. 29 subs.
Mr. Ridsdale's c. by Emilius, 2 yrs 1
Mr. Fox's Nymphalin
Mr. Walker's Curtius, by Emilius, 2 yrs 3
Duke of Leeds's ch. c. by Actaeon, 2 yrs—Gin 4
The following also started, but were not placed by the Judge :
—Mr. E. Peel'f bl. c. Cyrus, by Camel—Panthea ; Mr. Att-
wood's b. f. Calista, by Velocipede—lsabella ; Mr. Mostyn's
br. c. The Magnate, Battledore—Archduchess; Major Yar-
burgh's br. f. Miss Bell, by Lottery—Belinda; Mr. Houlds-
worth's br. c. Felix, by Sultan—Fortuna; Mr. Houldsworth's
br. c. Felix, by Sultan—Fortuna ; Mr. Houldsworth's b. c.
Hectic, by Sultan—Flush ; Mr. Skipsey's br. f. Violante, by
Waverley—Castrellina.
Besides, Mr. Powlett's c. by Langar—Giovanni's dam, came
to the post, and turned round with the intentioo of starting,
but, through the rider misunderstanding the directions of the
starter, did not get off till the others were eighty or a hundred
yards away, when he prudently abstained from any attempt to
overtake them. We believe he will be considered as having
started.—The betting was 3 to 1 agst. The Magnate (taken),
3 to 1 agst. Coriolanus (takers), 6 to 1 agst. Curtius, 7 to 1
agst. Cyrus, and Bto 1 agst. Gin. Without a single false
start, they got off pretty well together, Coriolanus lying inside,
with a lead of about a neck ; Gin next him ; then Mr. Houlds-
worth's two, and Nymphalin; the others well up. There was
no change of importance till they reached the grand stand,
where Coriolanus came two lengths in advance of the lot.
Nymphalin here took the second place, but could not near
reach the colt, who won very easy by at least a length and
half. In the run from the stand, Curtius was enabled to get
within half a length of the second, there being about the same
between him and the Gin colt. Behind him were The Mag-
nate, Hectic, and Flush. Cyrus was eighth, Miss Bell ninth,
and Calista tenth. Vialante struck the heels of Curtius near
the distance, and fell, but hurt neither herself or her jockey.
The winner was purchased from the King's stud, and is a racing-
like colt, with very powerful limbs. He is of a running sort,
his dam being out of Cressida, the dam of Priam. On being
told how the horse was christened, a yokel inquired why he
was called Coriolanus. The answer was, " Because he's a
rum-un" (Roman).
Mr. Ridsdale has a formidable lot for the next Derby, viz.
Luck's-All, winner of the Two-year-old Stakes at the York
spring Meeting ; Marchese colt, who ran Pilgrim to a head at
the August Meeting; Coriolanus, and another.
Value of the Champagne Stakes, 1,0251. The winner rode
by Conelly, Nymphalin by J. Day, Curtius by Scott, Gin c.
by Templeman, &c,
His Majesty's Plate of 100 gs. ; three yrs., 7st. 91b. ; four yrs., 9st. ;
five yrs.. 9st. 91b. ; six yrs. and aged, lOst. Four miles.
Mr. Walker's Consol, 6 yrs, by Lottery (Scott)
Mr. Watts 's Belshazzar, 4 yrs. by Blacklock 0
5 and 6 to 4 on Consol, who had it all his own way from
beginning to end, and won in a trot; Belshazzar looked stilty
when lie started, broke down some distance from home, and did
not come to scale.
Handicap Sweepstakes of 10 sovs. each, and 50 added by the Cor
"oration ; the second horse to save his stake One mil,

, _ mile.
Mr. Batson s Revelry, by Reveller, 4 yrs ( Conelly) 0 1
11r. Harrison's Miss Wilfred, by Lottery, 4 yrs ... 0 2
The following also started :—Mr. Salvin's b. f. Isabella, by
Lottery, 3 yrs., 6st. 41b. ; Mr. S. Fox's ch. f. Mrs. Oakley,
3 yrs., 6st. 41b. ; Lord Sligo's b. c. Spume, 3 yrs., 7st. ;
Major Yarburgh's br. f. Omnibus, 3 yrs., 7st.
Betting-2 to 1 agst. Revelry, sto 2 agst. Miss Wilfred
(taken), 5 to 2 agst. Spume, and 5 to 1 agst. any other.
Omnibus made running, followed by Isabella to the turn,
where Miss Wilfred went in front ; at the distance Revelry was
second, but at the stand was in difficulty, and it seemed impos-
sible that she could get up. However, Conolly persevered,
and his mare, seconding his efforts, made a dying effort in the
last two strides; and finished it a dead heat. In the second
heat she had it all her own way, and won in a canter.—Betting
even, and 6 to 5 on the loser.

Pour-Year-01d Stakes of 100 sous. each, h. ft. 4 miles.
