FRENCH PAPERS OF WEDNESDAY.

An Extraordinary Gazette published at Madrid on
the 2d inst. contains the following :—" The news an-
nounced by the Extraordinary Gazette of the 31st
ultimo is fully confirmed. The important question of
Portugal, which is so closely connected with the paci-
fication of the whole Peninsula, is finally resolved.
According to the reports sent to the minister of war
by the Commander-in-Chief of the army in that
country, dated the 29th and 30th of May, Don Miguel
and Don Carlos were both to leave Evora on the 30th,
to embark—the first at Sines and the second at Aldea
Gallega. They are to be accompanied by their fami-
lies and servants. The troops of Don Miguel are
about to disband, and return to their homes, under the
amnesty granted them by Don Pedro, and the partisans
of Don Carlos, who were with him at Evora, are to
be sent into the interior of Portugal, and there wait
the decision of the Spanish Government respecting
them. The fortified towns of Elvas, Campo Major,
and Auguela, invested by the Spanish troops, were on
the point of surrendering, negotiations for that pur-
pose having been opened. The courage and good
conduct of the Spanish army, the talents and decision
of its general, have gained universal esteem and ad-
miration from the Portuguese. The Duke de Terceira
has expressed his gratitude for the effectual aid afforded
him by our soldiers in gaining his present triumph in the
following letter to General Rodil, dated head-quarters
at Azercigo, May 22 :—" Although my occupations
leave me no time at command, I cannot refrain from
offering to your Excellency my congratulations on the
termination of the civil war in Portugal, and the em-
barkation of Don Carlos, which is an equal advrntage
to Spain. Your Excellency has learnt from your
aide-de-camp all the details of what has passed, and
I am sure that you have received as much satisfaction
from the result as I have. I have, therefore, only to
assure your excellency that the assistance you have
rendered me, no less than the cordial and obliging
manner in which you have acted, will remain for ever
engraven on my memory. Accept the expression of
the sentiments of attachment and high consideration
with which I have the honour to be, &c.
( Signed) "The Duke of TERCEIRA."

The following are the articles of the amnesty or
capitulation, dated May 26, granted by Don Pedro,
which specially relate to Don Miguel :—" There
shall be insured to Don Miguel an annual pension of
60 contos of rials (375,000 f.), in consideration of his
high birth, and he shall be allowed to dispose of his
personal property, under condition that he gives up the
jewels and other property belonging to the Crown or
to other persons. Don Miguel shall quite Evora on
the 31st inst. He may embark on board a ship of
war of any one of the four allied powers, con-
formably to the treaty of April 22, for any port
he may desire, with perfect security to his person
and suite, and with all the respect due to his
high birth. Don Miguel shall be bound to leave
Portugal within fifteen days, shall engage never to
return into any port of Portugal or Spain, or in any
manner contribute to disturb the tranquillity of those
kingdoms. In case of his acting contrary to his en-
gagement he shall lose all right to the stipulated pen-
sion, and be liable to all the consequences of his
conduct. The Staff of Don Miguel shall immediately
despatch orders to the commanders of all fortresses,
and of all the troops in the field, and to all the autho-
rities who still acknowledge his government, to sub-
mit themselves without delay to the government of
her Majesty Donna Maria 11., under the conditions of
receiving the benefit of the amnesty."
A private letter from Nauplia, dated the Ist ult.,
has the following :—" Tranquillity prevails in the in-
terior of Greece, but less so on the northern and
southern frontiers. In the south the Maynots have
not yet laid down their arms, but continue their old
way of living. Our port is animated by French and
English vessels ; only two Russian brigs are in our
port ; they are occupied in conveying despatches to
Smyrna, which go thence by land to Constantinople."
A Royal ordonnance has been issued convoking the
Arrondissement Councils for the 27th inst., and the
Council General of the Departments for July 12.
The second session of the Arrondissement Councils
will be held on August 1.
The Sentinelle des Pyra-ies of Bayonne of the 7th
inst. has the following :—" General Quesada was yes-
terday at Elisondo, where he very nearly surprised the
Junta of Navarre, but having gained three hours'
warning of his approach, the greater numbers of its
members fled to France. General Quesada has also
sent troops to Urdach."
The Temps has the following :—" M. Dupin could
not have chosen a more favourable moment for his
visit to the other side of the channel. The grand and
curious spectacle of England endeavouring, without
abandoning herself to a blind pursuit, to follow the
impulse of reform, the re-composition of the ministry,
the solemn gravity of the parliamentary debates, and
the difficulties arising out of the present state of
things, are all so many pieces of good fortune for a
politician ; at the same time it is always a magnificent
study for a Frenchman to view this land of industry,
where the spirit of association is displaying at every
step its wonderful power. We do not doubt that the
loyal and patriotic democracy of M. Dupin will be
better appreciated, and more to the taste even of the
British aristocracy, than the farcical aristocratic airs
which our statesmen give themselves here. He, himself,
after comparing the manners of the two countries,
will return to France less aristocratical and less doe-
trinary than ever."

Herald.)

Three o'clock.
I have great pleasure in informing you that I have
just learnt, and you may rely upon the accuracy of my
information, that M. Allende, Director of the Bank of
San Fernando (Madrid), who has been here for some
days, was empowered by the Spanish Government to
raise on an engagement of the value of twenty millions
of francs (due to the Spanish Government by a certain
party which I am not at liberty to indicate), funds to
enable them with their other means to meet the outlay
for the ensuing six months. In consequence the house
of Rothschild and Co. here have consented to advance
that sum on the deposit of the document (creance) in
the bank of France, pledging themselves not to en-
force payment for the time specified. M. Allende
and Baron Rothschild leave town this day for London.
The former is the bearer of the draft of a recommen-
dation, which the Spanish Ministry pledge themselves
to
make, to the Cortes immediately on their assem-
bling to recognise the debt incurred by the Cortes in
1820_21,
journey, andto lay which before the Committee of
the Cortes bondholders in London is the object of M.
Allende's to your city. It may not perhaps
be necessary to add that the treaty between him and
M. Rothschild was signed yesterday.

INSTALLATION Of' THE DUKE OF

WELLINGTON:

(From the Correspondent of a Morning Contemporary.)
OXFORD, JUNE 12.
Last night I was at the ball at the Star, in the
great room, and it was a very splendid affair. The
staircase by which the company ascended was so
densely populated by ladies and gentlemen, that it was
almost impossible to get up ; but after nearly an hour's
inch-by-inch ascent, I gained the room. I say nothinz
of the ewels and waving forest of plumes that noddei
upon the fair brows of their beautiful wearers, or the
variety of the dresses ; these are topics on which it is
not necessary to dilate. There was such a crush !
As to dancing, the thing was impossible. The Duke
of Wellington, and all the rest of the nobility, who
were at the theatre, attenci:l. The Countess of Lin-
coln was the reigning star of the evening, " the cyno-
sure of wondering eyes," and I could tiLime many more
who attracted very general attention, but sr Ace fails
me. The company did not separate till a very
hour, and it is a fortunate thing that there is no meet-
ing in the theatre to-day till the hour fixed for the
concert, or there would be little time for the pillow.
The town is very gay and lively this morning ; the
streets are filled at this moment with parties of ladies
and gentlemen, not as yesterday hastening to the
theatre, but proceeding to St. Mary's Church, where
the Bishop of Oxford is to preach a sermon for the
benefit of the Radcliffe Infirmary. On this occasion,
as tickets are not required for admittance, the humbler
classes of society will have an opportunity of feasting
their eyes with a sight of the Duke and the rest of the 1
great folks. The crowd will therefore be, as it was
in the theatre, immense. I have just been in the
church, and though it is now but ten o'clock, I found
the galleries, which are usually reserved for the ba-
chelors and undergraduates, filled with well-dressed
ladies. The body of the church is yet unoccupied ;
but there are strong parties of constables at the dif-
ferent doors, to prevent the influx of strangers into
that part of it which is reserved for Doctors in the
different faculties, and for the Masters of Arts.
2 o' Clock.
I have just returned from the church, highly grati-
fied and delighted by all that I have seen. It was
about 11 o'clock when the Chancellor, accompanied
by the Vice-Chancellor, the noblemen and gentlemen
recently made Doctors, and the heads of houses in
their robes of state, entered the cathedral; and,
though he was not received with the noisy cheers with
which the welkin has rung for him elsewhere, I heard
more than one person congratulate his neighbour upon
the powerful champion which the church had now en-
listed in her service and defence. An old clergy-man,
who
appeared the personification of orthodoxy and
Toryism,
applied in my hearing to the Duke the quo-
tation which Milton, in one of his sonnets, applies to
Sir H. Vane—
" On his right hand religion leans,
" And reckons him in chief her eldest son."
His friend smiled, as well he might. The sermon
was preached by the Bishop of Oxford, and enforced
the usual topics dilated upon on these occasions. I
am told that it has given great satisfaction to the heads
of houses, as, among other topics which it contained,
there was a strong appeal to the University and its
noble visiters to hold fast by the church and its insti-
tutions, which are now said to be dangerously assailed
both from within and without. He emphatically asked
what evil had the church done, that it should be so
ruthlessly uprooted? Questions like these are very
rife in Oxford, where the students are almost to a
man warmly attached to the church establishment.
The church was crowded to repletion, and the heat
and fatigue of standing so overpowering that I was
obliged to leave it a few moments before the comple-
tion of the sermon.
The following paper has just been published ; it
contains a list of the honorary degrees to be conferred

to-morrow ; but this list is not always correct :
In a convocation to be holden on Friday, June 13, it
will be proposed to confer the honorary degree of D.C.L.
'on the Right Hon. the Earl of Dartmouth ; Viscount
Cole ; Lieutenant- General Sir H. Fane, C. G.B. ; Sir
John Osborn, Bart. ; Sir C. Morgan, Bart. ; Sir C.
Knightley, Bart. ; Sir J. D. Paul, Bart. ; Sir A. Cooper,
Bart. ; Colonel Sir W. Gomme, K. C.B. ; Sir C. We-
therell, K. C. ; Sir Martin Shee, President of the Royal
Academy; W. F. Lowndes Stone, Esq., High Sheriff of
the county of Oxford; A. Baring, Esq., M.P. ; James
Buller East, Esq. ; George Vernon Harcourt, Esq.,M.P.;
E. T. Foley, Esq, M.P. ; C. E. M. Conolly, Esq.,
M.P. ; C. Ross, Esq., M.P. ; C. Yorke, Esq., M.P. ;
W. R. Cartwright, Esq., M.P.; T. Wood, M.P.;
T. Duffield, Esq., M. P. ; Colonel A. Perce, al, M.P. ;
Lieut.-Colonel T. Moody ; Bart. Frere, Esq. ; John
Fleming, Esq. ; Evelyn Shirley, Esq. ; A. S. Murray,
Esq. ; W. Burge, MA. ; John Gibson Lockhart, B. C. L. ;
James Lewis Knight, K.C. ; W. Stevens, M. D. ; J. R.
Hume, M.D. ; R. Jenkins, Esq. ; R. Westmacott, 8.A.;
D. Wilkie, R.A. ; Edward Blore, Architect.

This list, which consists of Tories exclusively, is not
very satisfactory to the University at large. They say it
is making this installation too much of a party matter.

CONCERT AT THE THEATRE.

The second grand miscellaneous concert commenced
this afternoon at half-past three o'clock, at the theatre,
and was as numerously and fashionably attended as
any of those which preceded it, for the Oxonians seem
never to tire in the pursuit of amusement. With the
exception of Bachelors and Undergraduates, there were
few members of the University present in their aca-
demic costume. Of these few Sir C. Wetherell was
one. The Duke of Cumberland was present for some
time • but retired early to dine along with the Duke
of Wellington and his suite, at St. John's College,
where the President and Fellows this day gave him, at
seven o'clock, a superb banquet. The Duke of Cum-
berland was on this occasion in plain clothes, and
mixed freely with the company in the centre of the
area. He was again loudly cheered. The concert
consisted of two parts. In the first was a selection of
music from the " Acis and Galatea" of Handel. The
overture was magnificently executed by the orchestra,
which contained nearly 100 instrumental performers.
It rained very heavily when I came out, and as
there were neither sufficient flies nor sedan chairs for
one fiftieth part of the audience, there was nothing left
for the ladies but to run for it, much to the amusement
of the inhabitants of the Broad-street.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION.HOUSE

Yesterday an investigation of avery interesting na-
ture took place before the LORD MAYOR.
It will be recollected that John and Daniel For-
rester, the officers, were employed to inquire into the
particulars of the late robbery of the Bungay bank,
which was entered no doubt by two men who had been
for a considerable length of time seen about the neigh-
bourhood, and had disappeared immediately after the
money was missed from the cashier's desk. Those
officers received a description from a servant girl, who
had watched the movements of the suspected persons
(for a general suspicion existed in Bungay of their
characters and intentions before the bank was robbed),
and, after many other inquiries, apprehended a young
man as a principal in the offence. It is still more fresh
in the recollection of our readers, that a young man,
named Norris, complained at Queen-square Office of
having been pushed into a coach in Pimlico, and driven
off at the command of a person who was distin-
guished from those who treated him with such violence
by his mustachios and his authority. It now would
appear that the two cases were very nearly allied to
each other.
In consequence of information received by the For-
resters, they have been for some days watching the
vicinity of Hanway-street, Oxford-street, where the
parents of Norris live. They had, in fact, learned
that the gentleman with the mustachios was no other
than one of the Bungay bank robbers, that he had re-
sided at the house of Norris, and that of several hun-
dreds of the stolen property he had in turn been there
plundered by another thief ; that he had caused young
Norris to be seized and forced into the coach, in the
belief that that person was the spoliator; and that he
was himself afraid to remain near the coach when the
youallng
p man cried out " Murder," and of course would,
of
shun the police-office, at which an inves-
tigation into the case was going forward.
The officers perceiving that this information divested
the statement from Queen-square Police-office of its
romantic features, and finding that the description
given of the Bungay bank robber exactly corresponded
with that of the gentleman with the mustachios, de-
termined to take into custody a person upon whom
they had fixed their own suspicion. On Wednesday
they accordingly put their hands upon a young man
whom they saw lurking about the neighbourhood of
Hanway_street, and yesterday they brought him before
the LORD MAYOR.
The prisoner, who had refused to tell his name to
the officer, told the Lord Mayor that it was William
Jackson.

Daniel Forrester, from the information which he
had been able to collect, after various inquiries, had
every reason to believe that the prisoner was the man
who had robbed the Bungay bank.
The LORD MAYOR—You are here charged with a

robbery of upwirds Of 1,0001. in cash, and a very
large sum in bank-notes, and I am desirous to give
you the opportunity to employ counsel, if you choose.
The prisoner appeared disposed to leave the case,
as he said.b4ore, in his Lordship's hands, and the in-
vestigation was proceeded with.
Daniel Forrester wished Mrs. Norris, in whose
house the gentleman with the mustachios had lodged,
to be examined. He had every reason to believe that
she knew the prisoner.
Susan Norris was the wife of John Norris, a stage-
coachman, and mother of the young man who had
been run away with in the coach from the Gun Tavern,
in Pimlico. A man with mustachios lodged in her
house about three weeks.
The LORD MAYOR—Do you know the prisoner ?
Witness (after some hesitation)-1 don't. If it is he,
he is altered. He wore mustachios and a very long
heard when he lodged with me, and I think my lodger
was a stouter person.
The LORD MAYoR—But you had an opportunity of
seeing the features of your lodger. Have you any
(;,;?bt that this is the very man? Witness—l do not
think ta.:74.
I cp.n swear to him.
The LORD .MAYOR—Do you recollect having re-
ceived any money .
eivuro your son ? Witness—Never
a farthing in the world.
be in a difficulty with
The LORD MAYOR—VS
anybody who lodged with you ? Witness—Never,
except with the persons who forced him juto the coach.
He has been in no other difficulty.
The LORD MAYOR—I should wish to see him-. I,s
he here ? Witness—He is from home. He was an- '
vised by the officers to keep out of the way till the ses-
sions
came on, as it would be safer for him to avoid
attacks. 1
_ . .

John Forrester found upon the person of the pri-
soner several handbills, of which the following was a
copy :—" 501. reward.—Absconded, a young man
named Charles Norris, five feet seven inches high,
fair complexion, blue eyes, by trade a cabinet-molter`,
and lately in the employ of Mr. Hart, cabinet-maker,
Oxford-street. Whoever will give such information
as to discover his place of residence shall receive the
above reward, by applying to J. Norris, 19, Hanway-
street, Oxford-street."

The LORD MAYOR—Pray, Mrs. Norris, do you
know any thing of this handbill offering the 60/. re-
ward ? Witness—No, never.
The LORD MAYOR—What, never heard of the bill
offering a reward for your son ? Witness--Never ;
except a person came to me the night he was forced
into the coach, and asked me whether I saw that pa-
per, and I was surprised, and made inquiry who they
were that had it.

The LORD MAYOR-Where did you inquire ?
Witness—At the station-house ; I asked about it, but
could get no information.
The LORD MAYOR-We wish to see your husband.
Is he here? Witness—He has been here, but I don't
know where he is now.

John Forrester said that her husband promised to
attend, but was not now in the neighbourhood.
__._

The LORD MAYOR—What property was found upon
the person of the prisoner ? Daniel Forrester—Three
sovereigns and a gold watch, chain and seals, maker's
name " Duncan, Bond-street ?" The prisoner re-
ques+s that the property may be given up to him.
The Loan MAYOR—I shall remand the case ; and
I advise you to brighten up your recollection, for I can
tell you that I know a great deal of what you also well
know. Let the prisoner have the 3/. found upon him,
as he may want legal advisers, but let the watch be
detained.

The prisoner, who seemed exceedingly uneasy dur-
ing the whole examination, was then remanded.
Soon after he was taken away, John Forrester ap-
plied to the LORD MAYOR for permission to get Mrs.
Norris searched, as he apprehended there might be
something in her stays which would assist the inquiry.
The Loan MAYOR consulted Mr. Hobler upon the
propriety of directing that the witness should be
searched, and that gentleman being of opinion that his
Lordship was justified by the circumstances of the case
in ordering that the suggestion of the officer should be
complied with,
Mrs. Norris 'had not the slightest objection to be
searched, and a female was directed to open her stays.
There was, however, nothing found concealed there.
There was a remarkable circumstance incidentally
stated by the Lord Mayor. When he was sheriff, Mrs.
Ikey Solomons was tried and convicted, and he having
been informed that she had 800/. concealed in her
stays, requested that she would be good enough to
deliver up whatever property she had about her. She
immediately pulled out of her pockets a number of
rings and thirty sovereigns, and said, " Here's all the
property I have in my possession." " Oh," said the
sheriff', " that, I dare say, you have got since your con-
viction from some friend to assist you in another coun-
try. I shan't touch that." Mrs. Solomons declared
that such was the case. " But," said the sheriff, " I
must have the 800/. in bank notes which are stitched
up in your stays." " Dear me, Sir," said Mrs. Solo-
mons, " why didn't you speak before ? I intrusted
that to another person a little while ago. Dear me,
you are just half an hour too late !"
