FRE'CH PAPERS.

(From Galignani's ltlessengerof Saturday.)

The Moniteur announces that the King will leave Paris
on the 26th inst., arrive at Cherbourg on the 31st, and
stay there on the Ist, 2d, and 3d of September. His
!Majesty will return and take up his residence at St. Cloud
on the 10th. We hear that the King will be accompanied
by Marshal Smolt and Admiral de Rigny.
We learn that the Government has receiv.rl new pro•
posals from that of Hayti, but they have not been acceded
to. The Government requires that positive guarantees
should be given before any further negotiations are entered
upon, in order that the execution of what may he agreed
upon may be trusted ro. The brig Le Cuirassier is about
to sail from Brest, with despatches for Port-au-Prince,
from the Minister of Foreign Affairs, on the subject of
this negotiation, and she is to wait for the answer of the
Haytian Government.— Courrier Francais.

We have received Madrid Gazettes to the Ist inst.
They announce the entrance of the Constitutional troops
and fleet into Lisbon ; but add, that the communication
between the two countries is for the moment entirely
interrupted, owing to the comtnotioa occasioned by the
gue'illas of both parties alternately occupying the inter-
mediate country.
We learn that Don Miguel's consul at Bayonne has
declared allegiance to Queen Donna Maria.
The He!retie of Porentruy gives the following from
Basle, under date of the 6th instant We have received
further details of the sanguinary conflict which took place
on the 3d. The number of soldiers put hors de combat
are said to amount to 300. Amonest the killed are
Colonels Landerer, Sarrassin, and Vieland ; Captain
Wettstein, Lieutenant Hindenlaiy, and M. G. Burkhart.
Colonel Burkhart, and Captains Ronus and Stoecklin, are
seriously wounded. At Prattelin the incendiaries of Basle
burnt six houses, and murdered the wife of Dr. Steglin.
The expedition was commanded by the Federal Colonel
Vischer. The reserve was under the orders of Colonel
Weitnauer. Colonel Burkhart led on the advanced guard.
The company d'etat suffered considerably : having got
itself entangled in a defile, it had, at the same time, to
sustain the fire of a redoubt in front, and of the sharp-
shooters on both flanks. The troops of Basle bad received
orders to give no quarter. The contest was carried on
with the utmost obstinacy; no quarter was given, and
no prisoners taken. The Lausanne Gazette also gives
accounts from Basle, which state that the country
party made many prisoners. They add, that several
pieces of cannon were taken by the same party, whose
artillery was under the direction of 15 Poles. The combat
lasted six hours. M. Blarer, who commanded the country
party, recived a sabre wound in the face. Two days ago
the inhabitants of the districts of Gelterkinden delivered
up to the Government of Liestal eight quintals of powder,
an,' a considerable quantity of arms. They are engaged
in disarming the people of the valley of Reigoldschwyl.
The patrols of the country troops advance up to the very
walls of Basle. The Government has got traces of a con-
spiracy which has very extensive ramifications. The
object of the conspirators is to create a re-action in the
heart of the town, and deliver it up to the country troops.
Arrests succeed each other incessantly. Terror reigns
throughout the town, and most serious events are ex-
pected. The Government has just published a proclama-
tion, to revive the courage of the people, and justify the
criminal attempt that has cost so much blood. Its lan-
guage indicates alarm at the attitude assumed by the
moderate party, who have steadily opposed its obnoxious
measures, and is about to demand an account of the blood
that has been shed. The commissioners vent by the Diet, M.
M yenbourg, of Schaffhausen, and M. Steiger, of Lucerne,
have been insulted in he streets of Basle by an unbridled sol
diery." The same journal also contains the following from
Berne :—" The Chancellor of the State has just publi•lted
two bulletin., one announcing the recapture of Kussnacht,
and the defeat of the citizens of B isle ; and the other pro-
claiming that, by a decree of the Diet, dated the sth
inst., the occupation of the town and country of Basle by
the Federal troops has been ordained. It is also ex-
pected that the same measure will be adopted with regard
to the town of Schweitz, which is the seat of the Confe-
rence of Sarnen."

According to accounts from the Voralberg, the Austrian
troops are being concentrated at Feldkirch, half a league
from the frorrier of the Canton of the Gnsons. Ir is also
stared that a Bavarian corp., of observation is to take up a
station near Lindau, three leagues from the Canton 'of
St. Gail.

The Frankfort Journal contains an article upon the
affairs of Portugal, which, atter stating that it never took
part either with Don Pedro or Miguel, but always re-
gaided the question at issue between them as one of prin-
ciples and not of men, adds—" It is well known that it
was alter residing for some time at London and Paris that
Do❑ Pedro undertook his expedition. This circumstance,
and the appeals addressed by that Prince to the Liberal
of every shade, naturally create a belief that he hopes to
find some support in in the Grey and S .ult administra-
tions. Supposing that be should be successful in esta-
blishing in Portugal a representative and constitutional
Government, would not the sympathy of France and
England, by which he would be protected at Lisbon, be
strong enough to bring Spain within the sphere of their
is fluence ? if we suppose this sympathy acting upon
Italy, we perceive the secret of a formidable allianee com-
posed of all the Liberals of Europe directed by England.
This explains is by the Northern Powers, so interested in
the equilibrium of Europe, cannot, without imprudence,
confine their vigilance to the Rhine and Icily. They
must also extend their influence to Spain, and have a
deliberative voice at Lisbon and Oporto; for the question
there is neither relative to the private character to Do❑
Align, I, nor to the claims which Don Pedro may set up
in favour of Donna Maria; the only obj at is to prevent
a liberal alliance from disturbing that general peace won
by Europe after so many efforts and sacrifices."
The Berlin State Gazette of the 4th inst. brings in-
teliigence from St. Petersburch to the 27th ult. The
Emperor, as a reward for the eminent services of Count
Orloff, has proinotel him to the rank of general of cavalry.
According to official returns, the number of inhabitants at
Moscow in 1632 was 330,866. Accounts from Oxel

crops over an extent of 50 wersts, and done much damage

Kanso all vessels houn,i front London to Sweden.

The Echo du Peuple, of Poictiers states, that, " from
the constant movements and secret councils between the
nobles and priests, and the display of the white fl ig at seve•
ral points in the country, no doubts could be entertained
that the legitimatists were preparing for the last effort.
They have for a long time boasted that an attempt would
be made as soon as Henry V. attained his majority."

RUSSIAN MANIFES'T'O.

The Journal of St Petersburg/I, after announeine
the return of the Russian fl-et to Odessa, and of the
Egyptian army to Syria, adds the following observa-
tions

" At the moment that this event is; accomplished, it is
with a well grounded feeling of satisfaction that we state
the results which Russia has obtained, and again turn our
eyes to the dangers which our prudent and firm policy has
prevented.
" The Ottoman power appeared to he on the eve of its
fall. A new power was going to extend its conquests to
European Turkey. After two decisive battles, the Egyp-
tian army was marching towards Constantinople. No ob-
stacle impeded it; the capital itself seemed to be agitated.
In the midst of so many reverses and dangers, the Sultan
hail recourse to tha assistance of the Emperor. His ex-
pectations were fulfilled at the time that Ibrahim was only
a few marches from Constantinople; five Russia❑ ships
of the line and four frigates entered the Bosphorus; their
presence was a pledge of preservation and safety to the
capital. In the midst of such a crisis, the appearance of
the Russian flag was nevertheless too new not to create
some feelings of hesitation even in the councils of the
Divan. But the well uotlerstood interest of Turkey, wisely
appreciated by the Sultan, prevailed, and inspired the
Porte with that entire confidence that the word of the
Emperor merited. Our squadron remained ; fresh rein-
forcements were asked and obtained, 20 Russian men-of-
war cast anchor before Bujuktl,re, and 10 000 men en-
camped on the Asiatic coast of the Bosphorus. The Em-
peror further declared that his fleet and his troops should
remain in the positions which they had taken, till the
Egyptian army should have repassed Mount Taurus.
" Such was the object, and such has necessarily been
the limit, of our intervention. Solely designed to cause
Ibrahim to lay down his arms, arid to insure the inde-
pen tenee of the Ottoman empire, the action of Russia
was to cease at the limit which its object and the express
will of the Emperor indicated beforehand. Assistance was
asked of us, we granted it, hut our mediation was neither
asked nor offered. The Sultan, as absolute master in the
provinces subject to his sway, was free to confer the go.
vernment of this upon such conditions, and to such a per-
son, as he should please to name. Russia, therefore, has
bad no concern whatever in the terms of the arrangement
concluded between the Porte and the Paella of Egypt.
What it had essentially in view was to give the greatest
energy to the succour which it appeared to justify in the
eyes of Europe, the confidence placed in its honour to
defend and maintain the existence of a pacific and friendly
power favourable to our navigation and commerce, and
faithful to our treaties.

" Under the influence of this salutary intention we have
seen the guarding of the 13 t•phorus and the repose of the
Levant it-Amsted for four months to the honour of the
Russian flag. After having conquered peace wi h Turkey
in 1829, it was for the Emperor to take c ire in 1833 of
the defence of the state which scrupulously fulfilled the
conditions of that memorable peace, and to preserve en-
tire the benefits of the treaty of Adrianople, which Russia
will for ever consider as a national monument of glory and
moderation."

The Petersburgh journals give also the note, in which
Count Orloff applied on the '7th of July to the Reis Eff-ndi
for the assent of the Sultan to the departure of the Rus-
sians according to the intentions of the Emperor, as the
object of their coming was attained. The answer of the
Reis Effendi of the Sth of July gives the Sultan's assent
as desired,—renews the expressions of the warmest grati-
tude to Russia,—praises in the highest terms the good
conduct and discipline of the Russian troops, and says that
the expedition has c•msolidated the warm and friendly
relations existing between the Porte and Russia.

Lord MARCUS HILL and a large party of
gentlemen are gone to partake of the sports of the field
namely, grouse shooting in Scotland.

On Thursday a meeting having been called
by public advertisement to take into consideration the recent
measures of the Einp«ror of Russia against the unfortunate
Poles, about a dozen persons assembled at one o'clock at
the Bazaar, in Gray's Ino-road, that being the place and
hour appointed for Lord Dunboyne to take the chair. The
time of commencing the business of the mee.ing was,
however, deferred until half-past two o'clock, in expecta-
thin, as it was stated, of the presence of several Members
of Parliament. None having appeared at half-past two
o'clock, and the number of persons having increased to
about 40, including Miss illicauley, and three other elderly
ladies, Lord Dunboyne took the chair, and deprecated in
strong language the conduct of the Emperor Nicholas. He
regretted to see so great a similarity in the conduct of the
Barbarian of the North with the first act of a reformed
Parliament, which had established courtsmartial in his
country (Ireland), and taken away trial by jury. How
could the Government remonstrate with Nicholas, when
he could turn round and say to them, " You have done
the same thing in Ireland ?"—(Cheers.) He regretted the
thinness of the meeting. but hoped their exertions might
giv« rise to other meeting•. Sir John Scott Lillie moved
a resolution to the effect that it was the opinion of tie
meeting the cause of Poland was the cause of freedom, and
the people of England could not do otherwise than testify
their sentiments and sympathy for the suffering Poles, and
other• oppressed stares of Europe. A Mr. Wells seconded
the resolution, and expressed his wish that an applicatio❑
might be made to Government to afford pecuniary relief to
the Poles in this country, in the same manner as the Spa-
nish and Portuguese exiles had been relieved. Miss Ma-
cauley next addressed the meeting, and, in the course of
a long speech, said it was not generally lo.own that the
lineal descendant of the unfortunate Stanislaus was still
living, anal even resident in this metropolis. This perse-
cuted personage was no other than the Princess Olive, ti e
legitimate daughter of the former Duke of Cumberland.
This announcement appeared to lie received with astonish •
ment by the assembled few, and a person in the centre very
ungallantly cal'ed the Lady to order ; whereupon she forth-
with shut up her book and retired. A second resolution
was subsequently adopted, declaring" th,:i the example of
the British Government, by suhstitu►ing court,macti in
Ireland for the law of the land, had produced a prejudicial
effect on the conduct of Russia towards the Poles " This
was unanimously adopted, as were also oilier resolutions,
pledging the meeting to further exertions on behalf of the
Poles, after which the meeting separated. Alts, for the
poor Poles, if their destinies depend upon Gray's lou-lane
" exertions !"

HORRID MURDER NEAR FALKIRK.-011
S.turday last the body of an oil man named PEDDIE, up-
wards of '7O years of age, who for some time past has
been employed in breaking stones upon the Carse roads,
was found near Beancorse, about two miles from Stirling,
where he was working that day, lying across the road,
quite dead. On examination several large wounds were
discovered on his skull, supposed to have been inflicted
with a hammer used for the purpose of stone-breaking, one
of these articles having been found not far from the body
stained with blood, and having some of the pow. min's
brains and his grey hairs sticking to it. When the body
was found it was about five o'clock in the afternoon, and
it is said that a gentleman passing that way about mid-
day saw him at his work as usual. In searching about
the pyre where the poor man had met his fate, traces of a
person's feet were seen in a field of beans on the road side.
and on stepping in there, a young man was found appa-
rently asleep. His first waking start found him in the
hands of those who knew him to he ROBERT TENNANT,
the fellow-workman of the deceased. His story is shorty
this, that having been at Grangemouth fair, he got the
worse of liquor, and staying out all night, he came up to
the toll-house in the morning, where he renewed his de-
bauch, and some time in the afternoon had gone up the
road, having some words wi,h PEDDLE in passing, where,
tired and exhausted, he threw himself into the beans to
take a sleep. His hammers were concealed when be went
away behind the hedge where PEDDLE was at work, and
he does not deny that his is the one on which the blood
and brains were observed. It appears. however, thit
for some time past TENNANT has been drinking hard, for
on occ tsion of his last le iviiig his work, the deceased was
ordered by the gentleman having the management of the
road to give him his leave; and when he encountered the
unfortunate old man, on leaving the toll, the unwelcome
order is supposed to 'have been communicated. On Sun-
day he underwent a long examination before ALEXANDER
MACFARLANZ, Esq , Justice of the Peace, in the Fiscal'.
office, fluting which he maintained rather a dogeed de-
fiance, and was afterwards fully committed to Stirling
pol.,...Xdinburpli &posing Courant.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

(From the Hampshire Telegraph of Situr!ay.)

PORTSMOUTH, AUG. 10. —The Messenger steamer and
Emerald yacht are both under repair in this harbour ; the
latter carried away her mast when she ran foul of the
Active hulk, off Plymouth Dockyard, by reason of her
single tow rope to the Messenger steamer having parted.
The toast was replaced in twenty-four hours, by the exer-
tions of Capt in Riess. In the pro!ress of the royal party
from Plymouth to Cowes, they landed at Dartmouth on
Tuesday ; the Corporation of which town presented an
address ; the royal party slept at Torquay, and on Wed-
nesday proceeded through Exeter fur Dorchester. At
Exeter 'an address was presented to their Royal High-
nesses in their carriage, and we presume they must have
re-embarked at Bridport or Weymouth, as they returned
to Cowes yesterday.
Rear-Admiral Warren, C. 8.. in the Undaunted frigate,
was at the Cape of Good Hope, on the 28th May, refit.

the Cape from the Mauritius, on the 231 M leaving at
the Mauritius the I•is, 42, Captain Polkinghorne, and
T tlbat, 29, C tptain Dickinson, CB. The Undaunted,
when ready, will proceed to the Mauritius, and then to the
East Indies. The Pelot's, 18, Commander Meredith,
had left the Cape on the 16th of May, for the Alauririus ;
the Undaunted was the only man of war then at the Cape.
The Sainarang, 28, Captain Charles Paget, arrived at
Blida, on the Ist of June, from Rio Janeiro. The Hornet
arrived from Rio Janeiro, on the 21st of June, from Mon-
tevideo. The Sapphire, 28, Hon. Captain Trefusis, ar-
rived at Halifax on the 30th June, and left on the 3d July

We are happy to learn that there is a proba-
bility, almost amounting to certainty, that some light will
speedily be thrown o❑ transactions hitherto involved in
the most profound obscurity—law proceedings have been
instituted which must bring into open day the more that,
Eleu,inian mysteries of the celebrated ft aternity, lately ..e
signaled by the familiar appellation of the Charles street
gang. The circumstances attending the fortnrion, ex-
istence, and dispersion of this once formidable confederacy.
are now in full process of discovery, and if something
stronger than tumour tn,,y be relied on, the pecuniary parr
of the expose will tie most curious; as fright be exuected

The West Berkshire Union Archery Club
held their last Vale meeting for the season on Thursda
last, at Sparsholt House, and the elegant and numerous
assemblage of rank, beauty, and fashion, which grace ,+
the scene, fully testified he v rapidly this amusement i•
advancing into favour among the higher classes. Nor
can we wonder at this when we find these clubs to he the
medium of health and exercise, joy and festivity, friendship
and sociality, in their respective neighbourhoods. Ott this
occasion a handsome silver cup was presented by the Rev.
Mr. IiUGHES, of Uffiogton, to be shot for by the members
of any established Archery Clubs, which attracted the
attendance of several members of the Royal Toxopholites
and of the Purton and Alelkshatn Clubs. The shooting
was excellent. The silver cup was shot for after dinner,
at 100 yards, and after some good shooting, was won by
the Rev. 111 JOWETT, of this club. Dancing comaa need
at eight, and was kept up with much spirit till an early
hour. This meeting was upon the whole the mitt suc.
eessful of the season. The propitious weather—the
lovely scenery of the place, clad in its full garb of summer
_the simply elegant costume of the ladies of the club, aria
the beauty which graced it, together with the Blow o►
happiness which seemed to pervade all pre,ent, formed 4,
tout ensemble which it wotoi be difficult to do justict,

SAVAGE OUTRAGE.-011 Thursday, the
Ist inst., as a man fr-m Muff was bathing in the Black
Rock, Dundalk, he was most inhumanly beaten by tw•
men at the moment of his leaving the wver ; it wool,
appear that they watched this moment to effect their Lr-
irous purpose, being provided with bludgeons, witl
which they beat him anout the head and stomich. Though
there were spectators of this horrid deed, yet no effectual
assistance was given to the unfortunate man, nor any at
tempt made to secure the ruffians, who, we are sorry to
say, eff•cted their escape for the present. The v;atitn nt
this cruel outrage now lies in the hospital of this town at
the point of death—the blood-vessels of his stomach
having been broken, and his head bruised in so shocks:
a manlier as to exclude all hope (.f his ri covery. M 'jot

On Saturday morning last, between one and
two o'clock, a straw-stark and a part of a hay-stack be
longing to Mr. JOHN SUTTON, 0: Chartbam-court-lodge,
were wilfully set on fire. The stacks were cb•sely adjoin.

reached the loss of pro erty must have been considerable
Fortunately, the conflagration was discovered shortly a ter
it bloke forth, and a horse pond being near, the fire was
g-t under by the farm servants before any great damage
was sustained. There is every reason to believe that
burglarious attempt was made upon the dwelling house t
Mr. SUTTON (which is about a quarter of a mile divant
iroin the farts yard) the same iiirt ; and probably the
stacks were fired either out of resentment at being ilis-
turbid, or else with intent of effecting the inedita e
robbery with more security, while the inmates w, rr
absent, caused by the alarm of fire. An ill limiting fell w
w s observed loitering about the premises durinz ht
evening, and surveying them with apparent attentitn

offered a reward of 2001. for the discovery of the offence'
or offenders,—.Kentish Observer.

LEtns,,—The sale of goods in the cloth halls has
!),en .o considerable, yet the merchants do not experience
o,uch less demand for finished cloths. Prices are about
stationary.
BRADFORD, THURSDAY EVENING.—Our stuff market
to-day, though fully equal in amount of business to that
of last week, has not been brisk. Prices have under-
gone but little alteration. Some few bargains both in
pieces and yarn have been concluded at lower prices,
generally, we think the former prices have been main-
tained. English wools fully support last week's prices.
HUDDERSFIELD, AUG. 6.—There has been little or
no alteration in the state of this market for the last few
weeks. The stock is almost unprecedentedly low in the
cloth hall, and the manufa,:tureis do not seem disposed to
increase it at the present high price of the raw material.
HALIFAX MARKET.—There was rather more business
done in stuff goods at the market last Saturday than there
was on Saturday week ; and for plain backs and the finer
descriptions of lastings there was a good demand, and high
prices obtained. Sti'l the merchants evinced a good deal
of reluctance in purchasing, and the very high prices de-
manded by the manufacturers caused them to limit their
transactions.

YORK Wool. MARKET, AUG. B.—The supply of won(
was pretty good, considering the lateness of the season ;
all was sold off, at the same prices as last week.—Leeile
Mercury of Saturday.

The rain came down in torrents both at Bath
and at Bristol on Saturday, attended b;• loud and continued
claps of thunder, and most vivid flashes of lightning.. At
Marlborough and at Devizei there were several heavy
showers, but they were extremely partial.

The harvest in the \Vest of England is two
thirds over, and the crops are represented to be abundant;
By the end of next wet-k, should the weather c,,ntinuo

THE HARVEST. —We conversed with a gen-

THE HARVEST.-We have given elsewhere
intelligence from diff.rent parts of the kingdom as to the
state of the crops, &c., and we are happy to add that it e
harvest has generally commenced in this neighbourhood
tinder the most favourable" auspices. Large rpiintiries of
barley and wheat have been cut, and the crops, though
not exce.,dinzly heavy, may be considered a good averagc.

THE HARVEST.--The harvest operatiors
have commenced in the neighbourhood of East Retford,
particular ly on the Forest ; and as the w.•ather has been
exceedingly fine, a considerable portion of both wheat and
barley has been cut, and a Bond deal has been housed in
-xcellent condition. Wheat is uncommonly hold ; and,
though in some places it is rather light upon the ground,
it will yield better than it has done for several years p tst.
B rrley is wry bold, and finer in quality than has been
lately known.

CONSECRATION OF HILDERSTONE CHURCH
IN THE PARISH OF STONE. —This beqUIIIIII edifice wag
c,nsecrated by the Lord Bishop of the diocese, on W,d-
•iesday last, in the presence of a crow4ll and attentive
,congregation. When the service was over; his L,rdship
And about twenty ot the ch-rgy sat down at the hail to a
cold collation provided for the occasion. The whole ex-
a,rior of the church is of roue. The length inside is 72
and the bre Kith 32 feet. The edifice contains about
420 sittingq, of which 220 are free. The patronage is
vested in RAr.rir BouttNE, Esq., the founder, at whose
ode expense it was erected. The difficulties which have
attended its erection have been great, but under the perse-
verance of the gentleman just referred to, they have at
length been overcome. The inhabitants of Iliklerstone
'rid its vicinity, who were before well nigh destitute of reli-
aious ordinances, are now Wessel with a near access to
them, and it may be hoped that the benefits resulting front
t church being built in this place will be experienced by
every, one c nnected with it in each successive generation.

LEEDS VESTRY MEETING.—We refer with
itisfaction to the proceedings of the vestry meeting of
Thur•d iy last. The parishioners applied the pruning knife
with an unsparing hand. This was what may be called
maiden assessment day. The necessities of the church
vent provided for without a call for money : no assess-
-nem was laid, and the most confident expectation is Ori'v
entertained that the parish will never he called upon to im-
,ese another church rate. Indeed, at the contracted rate of
,xpenditure, we have alreidy upwards of three years' supplies
a hand ; and long before the end of that time the English
Aura rate will have experienced the fate of the fish
arch cess. Tt,is is another triumph of modern equity over•
obsolete exaction ; and the wish conveyed so emphatically
,y the meeting, that every religious community should he
at the cost of upholding its own religious edifices, and of
defraying the expenses incident to its services, will not
.00n be forgotten. The parishioners of Leeds who have
interested themselves in these matters may justly consider
,his as the consummation of a dozen years' labour, and
those who have not undergone any of the toil, or the re-
preach, will partake of the benefit. Our friends, the
Quakers, will never again see their silver spoon in the
lands of the constable, to satisfy a demand to which they
i.could not voluntarily submit without viol ,tion of con-
science.—Leeds Mercury.

The church rates will scarcely be levied two
;ears longer. We believe Ministers, acting on the same
.rinciples of justice and common sense which influenced
hem in abolishing that tax in Ireland, will abolish it in
England also. But if they do not, the people wi l refuse
•o pay. Already they do refuse. Whit has taken place
