LONDON,
WEDNESDAY, JULY 2, ISI 7.

We received this morning the Paris Papers of
Sunday last. They give accounts from Lisbon,
of the 7th tilt. but contain nothing new regarding
the Conspiracy. They merely comprise the De-
cree of the Government of the 31st of May, and
the Order of the Day of Lord BERESFORD, dated
the 30th of May, which have been already pub-
lished, and also a Proclamation issued by the
Governors of Portugal, addressed to the inhabi-
tants of Pernambuco, announcing the orders given
for the blockade of their Ports, and exhorting
them to return to their allegiance. The following
are Extracts

" PARIS, JUNE 29.—Yesterday the King gave
a private audience to General Prince de Hohenlohe.

" M. M. Compte and Dunoyer, authors of the
Censeurs who were to be tried before the Tribu-
.rial of Correctional Police on the sth July, ac-
cording to an Ordonnance of the .Chamber of
Council, have opposed the execution of the Or-
donnance, and appealed to the Chamber of Accu-
sation of the Cour Royale.
" It is said the King will return from St. Cloud
to the Turneries on the sth July, rather sooner
than was expected.

" The Prince de Talleyrand arrived on the 22d
instant at Bordeaux, on his way to the waters of

Bar eges.

" The depcit of Spanish Refugees, lately estab-
lished in the llth Division (Bordeaux), has been
•
transferred to Poitiers.

" Literature and science have sustained a great
loss in the death of the Count de Choiseul-God-
her, Peer of nance, Member of the French Aca-
demy, &c. &c. He went for his health to take
the waters at Aix-la-Chapelle, where he died sud-
denly of apoplexy.
" The American squadron at Marseilles sailed
from thence the 16th inst.

Saturday,

" LYoNs, JoNa 23.—Joseph Lourd, called
Deschamps, convicted of forming part of the
armed body at Brignois, having fur its object the
overthtow of the Government, and to excite
Frenchmen to take up arms against the King's
authority, and who was condemned to death by
the Prevotal Court, suffered his sentence yester-
slay morning. Twenty-two persons, accused of
similar crimes, are to be tried to-morrow."

We received 'New York Pryers this morning,
but not of a later date than those of yesterday.

" NEWBURY PORT, MAY 27.—An extract of
a Letter 'from a Gentleman at Newfoundland to
his Friend, in this town, dated May 7, says—` The
poverty of this place, and of the whole Island in
general, is beyond that of any former time ; there
are at present, not less than 3000 souls maintain-
ed in this place on the charity of the rest, and the
bounty of Government. A vessel which arrived at
.Bull's Bay was forcibly taken by the mob, and
nothing but the interference of the Government,
`with the aid of the military, cOuld rescue her
from the starving populace. The failure of the
harvest last season, and the general stagnation of
business since the peace, are the causes of these
troubles.' "—(Commercial Advertiser, June 5.)
" Captain FRITH, of the schooner Delight, ar-
rived at New York in 13 days, from Kingston
(Jamaica), informs, that the French brig Lazarus,
from Havre-de-Grace, bound to St. Domingo,
arrived at that port four or ,five days before he
sailed, with only her foremast standing : she
bad been boarded by a privateer schooner, and
robbed of the principal part of her cargo, consist-
ing of dry goods and jewellery, &c. Alter they
had robbed the Lazarus, they cut away her main-
mast, and ordered her to steer to the Eastward,
Which they did for a considerable time, till out of

sight of the privateer, and then altered lie. course,
and got into Kingston."--(National Intelligencer,
June 4.)

ADDINGTON, last night, came forward
in the House of Commons, and made hispro-
mised explanation on the subject of theconfine-
ment of the EvsNses, and that explanation must
have been completely satisfactory to all whose
minds are not heated by Party feelings. It ap-
pears that Evatis, on the '2lst of February, sent
a Petition, by the hands of the Gaoler, to the Se-
cretary of State's Office, mentioning to whLf it
was to be transmitted, for the purpose of having
•it presented to the House of Common 3. The very
next morning, however, the Petitioner thought
it expedient to desire that it might be sent to Mr.
HARMER, his Solicitor, which was done accord-
ingly. This same Petition, which was at first to
have been presented by Lord COCHRANE, was
afterwards presented by Mr. BENNETT. One of
the allegations therefore, vie. that this Petition
had been presented through the proper channel,
but bad not been noticed, falls to the ground, since
the Petitioner himself withdrew it, no doubt con-
ceiving that he could have it presented with more
effect through a different channel. It appears also
that the Prisoner, instead of being denied paper,
pens, ink, &c. another of the erroneous charges,
had been abundantly supplied with them. It was
also alleged that be was confined in such a manner
as to endanger his health ; but,
.according to the
statement of Mr. ADDINGTON, who is not of a
character to make false assertions, he was al-
lowed free room for air and exercise. As to
his having been put in irons immediately on his
arrival in prison, it was proved to have been
the constant usage of the place when persons
were sent in under such charges, but that they
were immediately taken off by order of the Se-
cretary of State, the moment that he heard of
their having been put on. Another erroneous
statement was, that his relations were denied
-access to him. This charge also was satisfactorily
disproved, and indeed the whole of the charges
appear to have been wholly untrue, or grossly
exaggerated. Besides in any real grievance the Pri-
soner had the remedy in his own power, by ad-
dressing his complaint to the Secretary of State,
who would immediately have ordered the Gaoler
to he dismissed, if he stood in the stay of_ such
appl;cdtion, and should be' found to inflict any
wanton severity. The Opposition side of the
House,, it seems, indulged themselves in much
laughter on hearing the HonourableMember state
that the Prisoner had a fine view of the Surrey
Bills. Did they think, then, that the Prisoner
would have been much less gratified in viewing
the beautiful scenes of Nature, than it he bad be-
held from his window Modern Reformers actively
employed in making au equal partition of the Land,
according to the Spencean System ! ! !

The 3 per Cent. Consols opened this morning
at 761, and rose to 751. The Reduced opened at
771, and rose to 74. India Bonds rose from 105
to 107. It is generally expected the Funds will
rise considerably higher.

MR. I'ONSONBY.—The latest accounts of this
Gentleman state that be is better, but it is by no
means likely that he will soon be able to resume
his attention to public business. The knowledge,
talents, experience, and liberal character of this
Gentleman, render him a powerful supporter of
Opposition, of which he was indeed to be consi-
dered as the Leader, since none of the Party were
qualified to dispute his pretensions. If Opposi-
tion were always composed of such characters,
the encroachments of Power would always be
checked, if ever attempted, and 'Ministers would
have the satisfaction of knowing, that they would
not be crossed in the career of their duty by petty
cavils, frivolous inquiries, peevish objections, and
the vexatious pretensions of narrow-minded up-
start ambition.

Mr. WETHERALL.—There has been a report
that this Gentleman is about to retire from the
Bar. We are assured that it has no foundation
whatever. But, no doubt, we may apply the
words '.f SHAKSPEARE to some of his Rivals :
" Thy wish was father, HARRY, to that thought."
Letters have been received direct from Bahia to
the 2d of May, at which time every thing re-
mained tranquil and unaltered. Pernambuco, by
the last accounts received at Bahia, continued in
possession of the Insurgents ; but, as might be
naturally expected, considerable divisions had
taken place amongst them. •
CITY BuslNass•--Yesterday a Court of Alder-
men was held at Guildhall, when the Chamber-
lain and Bridgemasters were sworn into of-
fice.—John Thomas Thorp, Esq. attended, and
was sworn in as Alderman of the llT;ird of Ald-
gate, tin the room cf Harvey Christian Comte,
Esq. resigned,—Frances Desanges, Esq. citizen
and dyer, attended and gave bond to take upon
himself the office of Sheriff, to which he had-been
elected on Midsummer-dev last.—Robert Wilson,
Esq. attended and informed this Court, that he had
paid into the Chamber his flue, to be excused set ring
the office of Sheriff, and intended to petition the
Court of Common Council to accept the same, and
discharge him from such election, and hoherefore
declined giving bond to take upon bitit the office,
The Court therefore directed a precept to issue for
the election of a Sheriff in his room.—The Raters
of the Company of Watermen and Ligl►termen at
tended, and were sworn in. Thirty-two bars of
gold, weighing upwards of 4000 ounces, were
sworn to as foreign, previous to exportation,

We have announced our intention. to .assign a
portion of out liseellany to the productions of
the Press, whether.as revival; of worhs ofestablished
merit, Or orieffnal .publications of:.the present
time. We have alteadv under this head tak,en
an ample view of the new tt ambition of :Itar

fo:. the Britkh.Public, and.'w,c shall peti,:eed,. as
occasion serves, in noticing a work whic.h (foes so

now dra w th e at I ention of our ii.d.et s to a work (het
is calculated to bring into fainiAar notice the high
own old sterling. Poets.. 'Vu
merits of one of our
Mr. WlLLtaat GarFotto ,the public are indebted,
in his BAVIAEI and MCEVIAD, for the extinction of
a species of. affected Poetry, of what was styled the
DELLA CRUSCA SCHOOL, which his vigorous. Muse
drove from the confines of Taste,
,never to' return.
We are indebted to him also for an admirable Ver-
sion of JUVENAL, which has passel through two
Editions, and is, we find, speedily coining to a
third, coupled with a Translation of. ?cams,
from the same learned, strong, and act ire pen.
But the public are under more obligations to Mr.
GiFrottp, for he has given us two Editions of the
works of-Uta.aileGEß, whose text he has restored,
as far as, it was possible for it to ire restored, by
the efforts of learning, sagacity, industry, and pa-
tience, • and has not only given us a most valuable
Edition of the works of RE N JONSON , but has C freC-
tqfilly vindicated the character of the venerable and
injured old Bard from the attacks of contemporary
malignity and posthumous ignorance. litit it is
time to advert to the work before us. This work
comprehends a SELECTION from the works of
MASSINGER, intended as a class hook for the use
Of &Awls, and for our parlour windows, into
which the youth of both sexes may look without
the fear of seeing any thing that may outrage mo-
desty, or taint the imagination. It must-be con-
fessed that this venerable Dramatist was too often
inclined to fall into the loose taste of our ances-
tors, but as the present work truly says, " the
charge is exaggerated ; but even allowing its
truth to a certain extent, may .we not ask whe-
ther SHAKSPEARE is not guilty of a similar fault ?
Yet who looks on his immortal works with other
feelings than those with which all men of true
taste view a naked statue ?" Still, however, we
cannot but wish that former times had been more
refined, and that we could enjoy the effusions of
wit and humour, and rise to the heights of Poetry,
without meeting any' thing to excite disgust on
the way. Great care.seems to have been taken in.
the present SELECTIONS, all of which are arranged
under distinct teads, and they afford many pas-
sages of impressive morality, descriptive force,
and poetical beauty. The work indeed; alto-
gether is a very amusing and instructive MatatiAL,
and fully justifies tfie revival of this author's
works by Mr. GIFFORD, even without tie coa-
sideratioo of MassisiGga's great merit as a dra-
matic writer, in the skilful construction of his
plots, the truth ~ad vigour of his sentiments, anti
the variety, strength, and accaracy of his cha-
racters,, in reference to life and nature and the
" age and body—form and pressure"—of his
time. We therefore particularly recommend this
selection of the beauties of an admired Writer to
the attention of our younger Readers. The Cita-
tions are introdaced by a sketch of- the life of
MASSINGER, derived, of course, from Mr. GU-
I FORD'S valuable and comprehensive introduetitn
1 to the dramatic works of the author.
