MOGADORE

BY THE FRENCH.

(From the Paris Messager of Monday.)
" TELEGRAPHIC DISPATCH.
" BAYONNE, AUG. 26, HALF-PAST Two o'cLocx.
" MOGADORE, AUG. 17.
" THE PRINCE DE JOINTILLE TO THE MINISTER OF

MARINE.

" On the 15th we attacked Mogadore.

" After having destroyed (ecrase) the town and its
batteries, we took possession of the island and of the
port.

" Sixty-sight men, including seven officers, were
killed or wounded. Imm busied in establishing the
garrison of the island. I have placed the port in a
state of blockade.

of France, Minister of Marine and Colonies."

The news of this victory following so quickly after
that gained by Marshal BUGEAVD, has naturally
caused great joy among the war party in Paris, who
now dream only of conquests. It has had a different
effect, however, on the moneyed interest, and caused a
fall of about 15 centimes. On Monday the Three
per Cents., at the close of the Bourse, were quoted
at 80f. 70c., but after the telegraphic dispatch became
known they fell to 80f. 5.5 c. This is no great fall
however, and it is not at all improbable that the spe-
culators have hopes that the two events will have
a favourable effect, and bring affairs to a settle-
ment. The Emperor of MOROCCO must see
that his troops have no chance against the skill,
discipline, and bravery of European soldiers, and
as the French fleet has established itself at Moga-
dore, only 130 miles from his capital he will,
probably, find it more convenient to yield to the
d?.mands of the French. It is a most unfortunate
circumstance that he has allowed the contest to
proceed so far, taking it for granted that the
terms proposed were at all reasonable. Of this,
however, we cannot speak with any certainty, for
the French have kept the negotiations and the con-
ditions demanded so secret, that it is impossible to
come to any conclusion as to the real merits of the
dispute. One thing is certain, these victories cannot
fail to excite a strong warlike feeling in France, and
render any equitable settlement a matter of great
difficulty.

The following wasas received at LIAYD'S yesterday

morning :

" GIBRALTAR, AVG. 18, 1844.

"Six,—l have the honour to acquaint you that her
MAsEsTy's steamer Heela arrived this morning from
Mogadure, bringing about thirty-five passengers from
the west coast of Morocco, for which purpose she was
dispatched, as reported in my communication of the
Bth instant. She brings news of the bombardineut of

Mogadore, on the 15th instant, by the French
squadron. The land forces were about disembarking
to take possession of the smal island near to it, when
the llecla left. Mr. Wthx.sniaz, our Consul, and
some other British subjects, were not allowed to em-
bark, owing to some local regulations relative to
Custom-house engagements. Admiral Sir B. Own N
has dispatched the Vesuvius to Mogadore, where her
MAJESTY'S ship Warspite was lying for the protection
of British interests.

"At Tangiers everything was quiet, and order
prevailed. The markets were re-opened and trade
resuming. The defences were about to be repaired.
The savage tribes in the neighbourhood had dis-
persed. (Signed) "J. L. COWELL.
" To W. DODSON, Esq., Secretary, LLOYD'S.
" P.S. The Moors are reported to have fought with
great bravery, and that they opened fire from the
batteries, when they found the three line-of-battle
ships were about to take up positions at two o'clock,
P.M., on 15th inst. The cannonade lasted till near
sunset, when the steamers towed off the large ships to
the regular anchorage ground. At night there was
firing between the contending parties till ten o'clock,
when the Hecla departed, and till eleven o'clock at a
distance firing was still heard. This firing was be-
tween the shore and the steamers with small French
sailing vessels of war. The French had not attacked
any other part on the west coast."

The Prince of PRUSSIA, we perceive, has been
highly gratified by his visit to Liverpool. It was
almost impossible that a personage of so intelligent
and cultivated a mind should be otherwise than de-
lighted by the majestic public works, and the match-
less commercial marine—their noblest ornament—
which on all sides meet the eye in that great em-
porium of our foreign trade. Having gone every-
where, and carefully inspected everything (so far as
his limited "means "—of time—would allow him)
which he could get at, en route, between London and
Liverpool, he examined the unrivalled docks the next
morning after his arrival in the latter town. llis
Royal Highness seems to have fully participated in
the astonishment experienced by all foreigners at the
imposing spectacle of an unbroken line of between
seven and nine miles of docks—not simply crowded,
but swarming, with shipping, which have brought
from the remotest shores upon the surface of our
globe the products of other climates, the wealth of
another hemisphere. Impressed with the remarkable
character of this spectacle, in the details which had
come more immediately under his observation, the
Prince embarked in a Government steamer (aptly
named the Britannia) to obtain a general view of the
town, the shipping, and the banks of the Mersey.
We are told that " the river and docks were crowded
with vessels, which, in honour of his Royal High-
ness, displayed from their mast-heads flags of all
nations, the Prussian standard predominating." The
Prince, on disembarking again, was greeted with the
same enthusiastic welcome on shore, which had just
hailed him on the water; and found the Town-hail
and the Exchange to be edifices laid out on a scale of
grandeur commensurate with the vast extent of that
trade, the marvels of whose activity and extent he
had just been contemplating. For his further pro-
gress, and his reception by Sir ROBERT PEEL at
Drayton Manor, we may refer the reader to the par-
ticulars we have given in another column : but
apropbs to the well digested route through so many
of the most interesting districts in England which
his Royal Highness has hitherto taken ; the selection
of the objects to be more particularly examined in
its course; the rapidity of his movements; and his
careful economy of time—we cannot forbear from
remarking that the Prince of Paussia worthily
emulates the example of the numerous Royal and Im-
perlal visitors who have lately, from so many parts of
Europe, paid their respects to her Majesty the
QUEEN, and been introduced to some of the most
notable portions of her MAJESTY'S dominions. Let
us censure as we will the too frequent apathy of
Sovereigns, and the profound ignorance in which,
till the close of the last century, the scions of Royal
Houses were too generally brought up—it must be
allowed, to the credit of most of the Illustrious
Princes and Royal personages who have lately re-
paired to this country in such numbers, for the grati-
fication of a laudable, and perhaps we might add, a
respectful curiosity, that, whilst their intellectual abili-
ties and attainments have been at least equal to the
average of those possessed by the individuals com-
posing the distinguished circles which have received
them here, their physical energies, endurance of
fatigue, and bodily activity, appear to have been
greatly superior to those of their most Illustrious
hosts.

national independence of that foe at his mercy. But
it is lost time, we fear, to reason -with that unprincipled
and extensive party which is doing its utmost to pre
cipitate France into acts of insult and aggrt-scion
which can only terminate in her own chastisement.
It is not a fidgetty young Admiral's bootless bombard-
ment of the ruined walls of one African fortress, or
his still more questionable "destruction" of another,
accomplished, we have reason to believe, in a manner
not the leaM " lubberly" (as the sailors would say),
on the records of naval expeditions—which is to
justify us in assuming that a whole nation, at his
back, can be so weak, or so absurd, or so flagitious,
as to dally with his passion for anti-Anglo notoriety,
by involving the peace of Europe in a war between
France and England. But we really see so much
childish excitability on these matters about some of
the French journals, professedly of very extensive
circulation and influence, that we may not reason on
the improbability—still less the impossibility—of a
rupture, because of either its wanton recklessness
or its infinite folly. In this feeling we would
beg to direct the attention of our own Go-
vernment, and their official authorities, to the
strong representations which some of our letters from
the outports make as to the utterly defenceless con-
dition in which Portsmouth, Plymouth, and Sheer-
ness will be left, if, on the withdrawal of the present
guard-ships, whether by putting them in active com-
mission or otherwise, they be not immediately re-
placed by powerful line-of-battle ships. There is a
crisis at which every dictate of common prudence and
sound policy suggests that the mast ample and effi-
cient provision for the protection of our shores, espe-
cially at these points, against any hostile surprise,
should be made. Men of all parties will vindicate and
confirm any indispensable expense such provision may
entail. Good faith, as a natural security, in dealing
with some of the spirits arrayed againstßritish great-
ness, is less to be depended on than ropes of sand or
roofs of brown paper. Besides, though the mischief
which may be committed, may be very little in amount,
there is no reason why we should not be spared the
expense, through merely assuming that attitude of
preparation we ought never to abandon till something
more of fair dealing, of common honesty, and of
moral—not wordy and conventional—honour, shall
sway the councils of France and its public mind, if
that is to be collected from its journals. Let us be
thus prepared, and we may safely predict no such at-
tempts will be made by our blustering neighbours,
even if the whole French press teemed with such in-
conceivable rhodomontade and schoolboy little com-
mon-places, to foreshadow the downfal of England
—derived from a course of precedents gravely
commenced with " SoLomos and SESOSTRIS," and
continued to "Louis XIV. and NAPOLEON," such
as we have just been laughing over in the columns of
the Gazette de France. The article would read like
a squib from our facetious friend Punch, if it had
only the ingredients of a good purpose, and a clever,
spirited execution. In a word, the Parisians, at any
rate, are fairly earning the application of TALLEY-.
RAND'S caustic reflection of their own infatuated
BOURBONS—" They have learned nothing, and they
have forgotten nothing." For her own welfare and
honour, and her rank among the nations, France must
both forget her past reverses (they were of her own
seeking), and learn to avoid them in future (she is
now challenging them).

That popular Irish journal, the Nation, which is
one of the ablest, as it is the most vehement advocate
of Repeal, thus alludes to the reported visit of the
QUEEN to Ireland, in the course of the approaching
autumn :—" Her MAJESTY is coming to this country
—coming to liberate the State prisoners, and allay
the waves of agitation with the approved specific Gf
oily words. So says the Evening Mail. Let her
come; she will learn with her own eyes, which are
full of woman's keenness, how basely her Ministers
deceived her, and how much more ignorant and in-
capable are the servants in her Cabinet, than in her
kitchen and her stable. We do not seek a
Royal visit, and we do not repel it. It can-
not depress the hopes and the labours of the
people (what can or shall ?) and it cannot crown
them with triumph. As for the State prisoners, it is
the QUEEN'S undoubted prerogative to send them
back to their labours for Ireland. If she (..oes, they
are ready to march from Richmond prison to Burgh
Quay, and fall into their accustomed places, like
rested men bound to do double work. From them, as
from every true man in Ireland, she will learn that
it is no boon to terminate an injustice ; and if it
were, that all the favours it is England's- to bestow
or refuse, would not turn the Irish people
from their solemn purpose." The cold, un-
gracious, ar.d —we may even add churlish
spirit that pervades the above paragraph will
be confined, we trust, to a very small portion of the
Irish people; the majority will regard her MAJESTY'S
visit with far different feelings, and regard it as an
indication of her kindly disposition towards the sister
country, and of her determination to judge for her-
self of the state of things there. Thus thinking, all
true•hearted, loyal Irishmen will no doubt welcome
their young SOVEREIGN with enthusiasm, for it can-
not be but that her visit will be followed by the most
auspicious results to the interests of Ireland. She will
not come like GEORGE the FOURTH, merely to gratify
a puerile love of pomp and ceremony, but to convince
her Irish subjects that she has their welfare
deeply at heart, and is not the less solicitous to pro-
mote that welfare, because—in common with every
reflecting and dispassionate individual in the three
kingdoms—she discountenances the wild, impractica-
ble project of Repeal, which—if by any remote possibi-
lity it could be carried—would, as a necessary conse-
quence, be attended with the most ruinous conse-
quences to the empire, and especially to Ireland,
which would be the chief sufferer. If the great object
of the Repealers be the promotion of the interests of
the sister country, surely they must know and feel
that those interests will be materially advanced
by the presence of their QUEEN among them;
for the very first effect the Royal visit will
have, will be to soften the bitterness of party spirit,
and also to impress upon Ministers—who, as a mat-
ter of course will adopt the tone of their august Mis-
tress—the expediency of pursuing a more just and
conciliatory policy towards Ireland than they have
hitherto thought fit, to pursue. The Repealers, there-
fore—if their object be as patriotic as they profess it
to be—should be among the foremost to welcome the
arrival of the QUEEN among them with enthusiasm,
even though it should have the effect, which we con-
fidently trust it will have, of weakening the clamour
for repeal, and rendering it a more impracticable pro-
ject than ever.

But we advert to the Prince of PRUSSIA'S visit to
Liverpool for the purpose of congratulating his Royal
Highness that he has thus been enabled to compre-
hend, at his leisure, one of the broadest and most en-
during bases on which is raised the stupendous struc-
ture of English greatness. To have recalled to the
Prince's memory the military prowess and renown of
England would have been a work of supererogation in-
deed. The triumphs of Prussia and England in al-
liance could not be forgotten by the immediate de-
scendant of FREDERICK WILLIAM—of the Sovereign
of BLUCHER and the friend of WELLINGTON—were
there no more recent voices to proclaim it in thunder
from the mountainous recesses of Central Asia, or
the shores of Syria or of China—prolonging the echoes
of its mighty victories on the plains of II indostan, or
its yet more signal successes in the heart of France,
on the fertile soil of Belgium, in the wide territories
of Spain, amidst the fastnesses of Portugal, or the
plains of Italy. To have detained the Prince by the
preparation and parade of military reviews would
have been to regale him with anything but novelty ;
and the precision of tactics achieved by the soldiery
of his own country, had left little to be surpassed,
perhaps equalled, among that of our own. To the
presumptive heir, hevvever, of a Continental Monarchy,
essentially and inevitably a military State, in the
strictest sense of the term, such an exhibition as he
has witnessed at Liverpool of the resources of peace,
accumulated in a single outport of that kingdom
which has established itself in the foremost rank of
nations as pre-eminent in naval and military strength
and success, must have been a noble and an instruc-
tive spectacle. From that boundless commerce
which visits every habitable region of the globe, and
in its dealings with all the families of the human race
that are adjacent to any ocean shore, at once supplies
the wants, and civilises the manners, and ameliorates
the existence of the most miserable denizens of unre-
claimed barbarism, England derives the opulence
that has enriched without corrupting her, and main-
tains the spirit of that never-ceasing energy, and re-
news the energies of that never-relaxing industry,
which render innoxious and immeasurably beneficial
to her the wealth, the luxury, the grandeur, which
to natives of more voluptuous or less healthful tem-
peraments have been speedily and signally destruc-
tive. This physical activity reacts upon the moral
character of her social system and its institutions.
These do not stagnate, or retrograde, as in less for-
tunate countries, but are impressed with the same
tendencies to a salutary and sustained on ward move-
ment—not, to wild and destructive impulses, the
course of which no man can calculate. Capital, and
the proneness to accumulate it, have done much of
their evil work among us, as they have done among
other nations ; but they have also produced more
good, more happiness, more stability for institutions
and laws, than they can be shown to have accom-
plished in any other case recorded in history.
The same causes, that in their operation have
raised us to our present greatness, in their per-
manency will advance us yet further and further on
the march of national prosperity. The same effects
which, so wonderfully developed in our fortunes and
position, are at this moment inciting so large a mass
of the French people to the most extravagant and
pitiable indications of jealousy and envy and resent-
ment, will continue to accumulate, in peace, our re-
sources for the demands of war, Be that disastrous
casualty (we pray) far distant ; but come when it
may, those foolish and incendiary spirits who find it so
easy a task to sound the tocsin in Paris for a general
outbreak into hostilities with Britain, will find that
they have invoked a slumbering giant, who may not
be disposed, on the occasion of a wanton and reckless
experiment on his repose and his dignity, to repeat
the ill-remembered, and worse requited, forbearance
and generosity which he manifested for a beaten,
though valiant foe, when twice within one twelve-
mouth the event of war had placed tne capital and the

The Greek Obserrer of the 10th of August pub-
lishes a decree proclaiming a political amnesty in the
following terms :
" Otho, by the Grace of God King of Grt•ece,—Upon
the proposition of our Council of Ministers we have de-
cided and do ordain—
" Art. 1. We grant an amnesty to those who have
taken a part in the insurrectionary movement which took
place in Acarnania and in Western Greece during the
months of May and June last.

Madrid journals, of the 20th inst. have been
received. The QUEEN had arrived at Aranjuez on
that day, where she would stop for the night, and
make her way into the capital next day. General
NARVAEZ, accompanied by the French Ambassador,
had also arrived, and his presence, it is said, prevented
a pronunciamento which was to have taken place on
the day of his arrival. On the 18th, the holders of titles
of the Floating Debt and of Treasury Bills met at the
San Fernando Bank, to agree with that establishment
as to the conversion of their securities. According
to the Tiempo, they were disposed to submit to a
conversion into Three per Cents., provided the pay-
ment of the interest be guaranteed to them. The
same journal, in reference to the deplorable financial
state of the country, says—

" The Committee appointed to propose a new system
of taxation, in order to meet the demands of the State,
has published its report, which declares that, in order
to meet with punctuality and exactitude all the obliga-
tions of the State, the sum of 400,000,000 of reals is
indispensably necessary ; and that this deficit cannot be
met but by making great reductions in She expendiiure,

particularly in the army expenses, and thus diminishing
the debt."

The Herald() thus announces the object of Mr.
BULWER'S journey to Morocco :

" The Government not being satisfied with the repara-
tion given to Spain by the Emperor of Morocco, who
avoids replying to several of our demands, the Minister
of Great Baitain at Madrid has proceeded directly to
Morocco, in order to put a period to those differences,
and effect a satisfactory solution of our quarrel with that
empire. The journey of Mr. Bulwer is also connected
with the differences existing between Prance and our
African neighbours."

The Three per Cents. were done at 27i for cash,
and 27i at sixty days; the Five per Cents. at 19i
for cash, and 20 at sixty days; and the Floating Debt
at 59 for cash, and 601 at sixty days.

The French papers, brought by the ordinary ex-
press, contain little intelligence of importance. The
Commerce and Constitutionnel, some days since,
stated that the KING had abandoned the intention
of visiting England this season. The Globe contra-
dicts the report, and says, " not the slightest change
has taken place in the intentions relative to the
KING'S visit; as, however, it was never meant to take
place before the beginning of October, it is easy to
conceive that the preparations are not very active at
this moment." The same Ministerial journal contra-
dicts another statement made by the Revue de Paris,
about a proposition of M. GUIZOT to the British Ca-
binet, relative to Otaheite, and adds, " Otaheite is
now under the regime of the Protectorate, which
opens its ports to the vessell of all nations, and of
course the commerce of England and France will
be on a footing of equality, for they are so at this
moment. As to Mr. PRITCHA.RD, the Revue de Paris
forgets that it was decided nearly six months ago
that he should not remain at Otatheite in the quality
of Consul."

DEATH of LORD KEINE, G.C.B.
and K.C.H.

We are sorry to announce the death of this distin-
guished officer, the gallant captor of Ghuznee. His
Lordship died of dropsy on the 26th. He was a
Lieutenant-General in the army, and Colonel of the
43d Foot. It will be remembered that he was created
first Baron Keane, of the United Kingdom, as a reward
for distinguished military services in Affghanistan,
and especially at the storming of the formidable
fortress of Ghuznee. He was the second son of the
first Sir John Keane, Bart., by his first wife. He
became a Major-General in 1814 ; a Lieutenant-
General in 1830. In addition to the military honours
conferred upon him, as above mentioned, he received
the distinction (See Dodd's "Peerage and Baronetage")
of a cross and two clasps forhis services as Lieutenant-
Colonel of the 13th Foot at Martinique, and as Colonel
in command of a brigade at Vittoria, Pyrenees, Ni-
velle, Orthes, and Toulouse. His Lordship is suc-
ceeded, we believe, in his title, by the Hon. Richard
Arthur Wellington Keane, now (second) Lord Keane
who was aide-de-camp to the late Lord when he was
in command of the army of the Indus.

Most of the journals contain articles on the battle
of Isly, and throw the whole blame on the Moors. The
Journal des Debats thus adverts to the brilliant victory
gained by the French:—
" This battle of Isly, as the Marshal has named it, ap-
pears to have been a serious affair, and more important
than any in which our troops have been hitherto engaged
in Africa. The results of it ate remarkable ;an army of
20,000 cavalry beaten and completely routed ; the cap-
ture of several camps, covering over a league in extent ;
11 pieces of-cannon, 16 standards, and the tent of the
Morocco Prince, fallen into our hands, are the material
and tangible proofs of an incontestible victory, and of a
serious engagement.
" The enemy had surrounded our little corps d'armee
on every side, and it was necessary to cut a way through
the masses of cavalry ; it was necessary to conquer on
every side. and the words sensible losses,' contained in
the dispatches prove that the victory was for some time
disputed with vigour by an enemy admitted to be very
ardent and very intrepid.
" War has, therefore, been opened in the most per-
fidious manner by the Morocco Government, even at the
very moment when the Sultan, his sons, and his Kaids
were professing the most peaceful intentions. If this
Government had had the slightest good faith Abd-el-
Kader, with his 1,200 horsemen, would not now be the
arbiter of destiny on the frontier, for this handful of
men, lost in the masses which the Morocco commanders
have under their orders, would have been easily dis-
armed. But, on the contrary, these princes and dig-
nitaries seem to have come only as the auxiliaries of
our enemy, and as if to prove that they were as much so
as he is. All were thus deceived, but we must no longer
be so deluded. Abderrahman is as much ruled by his
own fanaticism as a Mussulman, as by that of his sub-
jects, and it is evident that the degree of wisdom which
has been attributed to him is not sufficient to enable
him to resist this double excitement. Abd-el-Kader is
the champion of our religious and political faith, and we
can never admit these Christian dogs to be in the
right.' Such, in fact, is the manner in which through-
out Islam the rights of nations are interpreted so far
as they concern Christian Europe."
The Courrier Francais, elated by the success of
both the land and sea forces, urges the Government
to follow up the success, and not trust to the " per-
fidious mediation" of England :
"It is but little to conquer ; the point is, to profit by
the victory. Shall our land army possess more liberty
of action than our squadron ? The Prince de Joinville
is free to mark his promenade along the coasts of Mo-
rocco by a succession of cannonades and ruins, but he is
forbidden to set his foot on land. Marshal Bugeaud is
quite at liberty to make an advance on the enemy, which
swells its numbers, and to spare it the half of the way,
but he is prohlited, without doubt, from penetrating
too far into the hostile territory. No matter, our brave
army of Africa, directed by excellent officers, and by the
skilful Marshal, has just given a rude lesson to the
Sultan of Morocco, whilst the cannons of our ships of
war sweep the,. shores of his empire.. Each defeat will
deaden the fanaticism of his subjects—obstinately bent
as they are on the holy war —•and the more the Sultan is
physicafly beaten, the more he is morally the conqueror
of Abd-el-].fader. By dint of ill-treating him we give
him the power of negotiating. This kind of diplomacy
is more efficient than the perfidious mediation of Eng-
land, who, under pretext of inducing him to adopt a
pacific disposition, has perhaps encouraged his audacity
and strengthened his irresolution. Here we have
Morocco at last attacked by our arms ! Whatever the
jealousy of England the pusillanimity of our diplomacy
may do, the glory will remain to us of having given the
first blow to this last sanctuary of Mussulman barbarism,
and to have prepared a new progress in civilisation.
That sword of France which shone in Egypt, and
brought Algeria under subjection, will not have struck
with impunity—to it will be ascribed the
forced Northern Africa, from east to
hAolonroocurcoof
having
west, to enter into treaties with Europe."
The remarks of the Constitutionnel are of a more
mild character, but still the writer cannot conceal his
jealousy of England :
" The news of this brilliant action of Marshal Bugeaud
and our troops arrives opportunely. It serves as an
answer to the declarations and threats of the English
press. As to. Morocco, we strongly desire, without how-
ever, that this victory may produce
reuascnshido abandon Abd-el-Kader, who

only brings them defeat. Umfortunately, the Marshal
does not appear to be in a condition to reap any advan-
tage from the blow which he has just struck—to assume

discouraged,tairtyti m°m
the offensive vigorously, and to pursue to the last extre-
mity the Emir, against whom we have hitherto only
hurled an ultimatum. If it be necessary to again tem-
porise, the Arabs will recover from their fright. Perhaps
they will not attack us for the future in a pitched battle,
but will wage a war of razzias, will ruin our allies, and
occupy the attention of our troops, by dividing them.
Meanwhile, this new success of our brave army of Africa
will cause in France a universal satisfaction. Public
curicsity is greatly excited, and, without doubt, the re-
port of Marshal Bugeaud will soon be published as fully
as possible, to gratify it."

There have been several letters received from Alexan-
dria this morning, in which contradictory statements
are made in relation to the posture of political affairs in
that country. One thing is at least certain, the Pacha
has successfully checked a movement, which, at his de-
cease, would have rendered the succession doubtful, and
perhaps have caused much bloodshed.
There are not any colonial arrivals of moment to-day.
In the Stock Exchanges there has been no great deal
of animation this morning, in consequence of the news
received by express of the bombardment of Mogadore by
the French fleet, and of the occupation by them, of the
island. The Bears were early in full feather, and sold
at first with vigour, but they could only depress the
prices of Consols about per cent. Their courage soon
cooled, and many closed their bargains at the profit
that was within their grasp. A rally soon took place in
consequence to 994 y. The Commissioners bought
5,0001. Reduced Three per. Cents. at 998. The premium
upon Exchequer Bills has advanced to 77. Bank Stock
is firm at 1991, and India Stock heavy at 281. In the
Three-and-a-Half per Cents. the reduction in the prices
were limited to 4 per cent.

tions are in most instances lower than they were yester-
day. The Shares of the French lines keep firm. Union
Bank of London Shares are at 2 premium—the same as

We hear, from what we believe good authority,
that her Majesty -and Prince Albert intend to pay a
visit to Scotland in the course of a fortnight. They
will go on board the Royal Yacht about the 9th inst.,
and during their progress visit Blair, Athol, Dunkeld,
and Taymouth. Prince Albert's taste for field sports,
and the shooting which Scotland's mountains afford,
with the vivid remembrance of last year's pleasurable
excursion, have been the great inducements to this
royal trip. ller Alajesty will be absent about three
weeks, and will on her return go to the Isle of Wight.
If this be the fact, and that it is the present intention
of Royalty, we have not the slightest doubt the visit
of Louis Philippe cannot take place until October, if
then ; nor can the Queen set foot in Ireland this
summer.
MORTALITY IN THE METROPOLIS.—The number
of deaths during the last week was not above the
average, though the deaths caused by certain diseases
still exceed those of the last five years. The increase
is chiefly in small-pox, scarlatina, and typhus. In the
list oi• deaths from corriu:nption there is a consider-
able decrease, the average being 146, while last week
it was only 116. The number of deaths by small-pox
is stated to be 47, being 36 above the average, but we
have no return of the numbers that were vaccinated,
and the mortality table for the last week, and also the
preceding week, is very defective in reference to the
most terrible disease that ever afflicted the human
race. The deaths from violence are thus stated :
Fracture or contusion, 8 cases, of which 6 were by
falls ; drowningos cases ; poison, 1 case ; hanging, 3 '
cases ; suffocation, 2 cases • arid burns, 1 case. Total,
1.5 males, and 6 females. The state of the barometer
and thermometer require no notice, as v e have given

His Excellency Count and Countess St. Aulaire
and suite are expected to arrive in the French capital on
the Ist of September, from his chateau at Perigord, in
Normandy, and it is probable that the Ambassador will
resume his diplomatic duties at our Court in the course
of the ensuing month. It is understood that no official
intimation as to the period of his Majesty the King of
the French's visit to this country has yet been received
at the Embassy, and it is nut expected that anything
positive on the subject will transpire until the arrival
of the French Royal Family at the Chateau d'Eu, near
Dieppe. Count Louis de Noailles, Secretary to the Em-
bassy, is on leave of absence on the Continent.
THE HARVEST IN KENT.—We are delighted to
state that the wheat harvest is going on most favourably,
and will be completed throughout mid Kent during the
present week. In our next we shall give a general re-
view of the crof.—Maidstone Journal of yesterday.
WHOLESALE ARREST OF THIEVES.—The Austrian
police, to clear Vienna of the crowd of vaabonds and
thieves winch infested it, has just arrested 400 of them
together, and has had them tukeu off at once to the gal-
leys M Venice ttnd Trieste.
