HOTEL RIGNOLLE, AUG. 29.—An unusual number of cou-
riers of the quadripartite Powers have passed through this port,
on their way to and from London during the present week.
The Spanish foreign messenger Sandoval, who embarked a
few days since with despatches for the Marquis de Miraflores,
. has returned en route for Madrid. Mr. Hunter, the King's
• messenger, left this place to day, at 11 a.m., with despatches
for our Charge d'Affaires at Paris ( Mr. Hervey Aston.) It
is not generally known that our messengers, for a considera-
tion, are permitted to accommodate a traveller with a seat in
their chaise de poste. Col. Davison, returning from the
moors in the North, availed himself of Mr. Hunter's convey-
ance to proceed to Paris. Lord James Stuart, also coming
from the North, has departed for Switzerland ; and Lord and
Lady Charles Townshend and one of the Lords Seymour
have left for Belgium.
_I conversed yesterday with an English officer of rank, who
has just returned from a tour to the celebrated " Brunnens."
He described the principal German spas to be crowded to an
overflow with English people of rank and fashion. At Wies-
baden, accommodation at the hotels was not to be had, and
therefore many were compelled to content themselves with in-
ferior lodgings in farmhouses, or make a detour into the Swiss
Cantons. As might be expected, every thing was rendered
dearer by this extraordinary influx of foreigners, and so much
as 12s. per diem for a small apartment were demanded. Co-
lonel says that the obstacles thrown in the way of per-
sons travelling from Belgium to the Dutch territories are as
great now as at any period since the Belgian revolution. In-
deed, even through France, great strictness is observed with
regard to passports. At L'Orient the authorities recently de-
manded a passport of an Englishman who had resided in the
vicinity of that place for 18 months.
Mr. Long Wellesley and his eldest son, Mr. William Wel-
lesley were living in " style " at Aix-la-Chapelle. Mr. W.
Wellesley will attain his majority in about six weeks, when he
will come into the possession of a rent-roll of 14,0001 per an-
num, and return to England.
Seven hundred and fifty-five passengers and 17 private car-
riages have been landed here during the past week from Eng-
land.

Boulogne is, I understand, very gay now. Great numbers
of Parisian fashionables are visiting the place, on account of
the " Bains de Mer."

The Marquis of Hertford patronised the sherdy-e-dna—horie-
manship, and set off, after three or four days sojourn, on a visit
to his son, the Earl of Yarmouth, at Paris.
Among the haut ton, at Boulogne, are Viscount and Vis-
countess Bury, Captain and Lady Mabella Knox, Vice Admi-
ral Sir Willoughby Lake, Admiral Aylmer, Lady Twysden,
Mr. and Mrs. F. Webb, &c.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TA- TTERS.ALL' S.

ST. LEGER.
The attendance thin, and betting slack. The highest offer
against Plenipotentiary was sto 4; but 9 to 2 (half a point more
than he was quoted at on Thursday) was offered against Shelelah,
and there is no doubt that more odds could have been obtained if
any one had been disposed to back him ; ho is now on his road to
Doncaster. Closing prices :
5 to 4 agst Mr. Batson's Plenipotentiary
9 to 2 agst Duke of Cleveland's Shillelah
6 to 1 agst Mr. Heseltine's Worlaby Baylock
15 to 1 agst Sir J. Boswell's General Chasse (taken)
