PRIVATE AND AUTHENTIC CORRESPONDENCE.

PARIS, JUNE 27.—The accusations against the
Duke DECAZES, Count ANGLES, and Baron
MOUNIER, being as ridiculous as they are wick-
ed and unfounded, I have not thought it worth
the while to do more than touch upon them.—
Their authors are a fellow of the name of Ro-
bert, who had his Barrister's gown taken from
him for being a common swindler before the Res-
toration. On the KING'S arrival, Robert pre-

sented a memoir, attributinc, his disgrace to the
Royalist principles he professed. He was be-
lieved on his own assertion, and l'Jecame enabled
to play his old game. The Duke DECAZES, we
believe, at the intercession of a great personage,
prevented his being sent to the gullies, and he
would now cut the Duke's throat in return for
the favour. Clausel de Caiissergues is a fellow
of the same stamp as to ingratitude, for it was to
the favour of the Duke DECAZES he owes his
present situation. They are, however, but the
dirty tools of the Ultra Party ; but so clumsily
have they botched their work, that even their
employers are ashamed of them : had they merely
perverted the truth with a colour of probabi-
thy, they might have done the Duke and the
others harm, but as they stooped to invent the
most barefaced falsehoods, the infamy 'recoils on
them. The three Ministers, the objects of their
attacks, stand firm in the conGdence of his MA-
J ESTY, who, at the baptism, thus addressed 7DE-
CAZ ES, " How does my Son do?" This was a
bitter pill for the Ultras, who fancied he was in
disgrace. A most important trial comes on to-
day. It is an action brought by an English Gen-
tleman against the French Post Office, to reco-
ver the amount stolen there out of letters. Du-
PIN is employed for the- English party. Another
trial of importance has been on these three days
for sinking a vessel in order to defraud the under-
writers. The Captain; as he was being brought
prisoner to Paris, threw himself out of the coach ;
the wheel ran over him and killed him ; the ves-
sel was sunk on the coast of Spain ; but,as if Pro-
vidence had ordered it, she floated; theca/:4-o was
examined, and found to consist of Stones, Earth,
and Bali.

THE K ING'S COURT.—Yesterday, at twelve
o'clock, his MAJESTY held a Court, at his Pa-
lace in Pall Mall, which was attended by all
the Cabinet Ministers, B:c.—His MAJESTY held

a Privy Council, which sat till half-past one
o'clock.—The KING gave audiences to the Earl
of ITARnowny and Viscount SIDIVIOUTH.

Yesterday the Duke of Youic. held a Levee at
the Horse Guards, which was attended by num-
bers of Officers.
o,n Monday a Cabinet Council, for which
summonses were issued the same morning, met at
three o'clock at the Foreign Office, and continued

in deliberation till near five o'clock .
We are assured that orders have been issued
for opening a rendezvous upon Tower-hill for re-
ceivingvolunteer seamen for actual service, under
a Captain of the Royal Navy.—(Morning Chro-
nicle, Jtiiy 4.)
Letters and Papers have reached London froM
Gibraltar to the 9.oth ult. A great deal of bustle
prevailed there, in consequence of the activity
and extent to which trade was carried on. It
forms a strong contrast with, all the ports of
Spain, in many of which vessels belonging to
them were actually rotting for want of employ-
ment. The Newspapers from Gibraltar contain
no intelligence of the slightest importance.
Mr. Alderman WOOD and Mr. AUSTIN (the
protege of the QUEEN) accompanied by an Ita-
lian Gentleman, are gone down to Cornwall.—
( Herald.)
The contest for the Borough of Carmarthen
is carried on with spirit, but with the greatest
order. The poll still continues by tallies, and
at the close of it on Saturday last, 400 of the
freemen had given their votes-200 for Sir Wm.
PAXTON, and the same number for Mr. JONES.

COURT OF A.r.nnamuk.—Yesterday the . Loup
MAYOR held a Court of Aldermen at Guildhall, which was
numerously attended. His' Lordship reported the election of
AxTxOxrßnowx, Esq. as Alderman of the Ward of Billings-
gate, in the room of Sir Wm. LE rc fur 0.N., K. resigned; and
Mr. BROWN attending, was introduced to the Court by several
of the inhabitants of the Ward, and took the usual oaths and his
seat. A petition was presented from Mr. HUGHES afrainst
the election of Mr. LISTER as a Common Councilman far the
Ward of Bassishaw, the consideration of which was adjourned
to the next Court, and a copy ordered in the mean time to be
sent to Mr. LISTER, when he and. all parties are ordered to
' attend and be heard thereon. The Court were occupied a con-
siderable time on matters connected with the Coronation.
THE THEATRE.—We recently inserted a letter
respecting Mr. MA CK Y; who has been highly ad-
mired for his performance of Baillie Nicoljarvie,
in the Opera of Rob Roy, at Edinburgh. That
letter, we understand, came from the liberal feel-
and correct taste of Sir WALTER SCOTT.—
Mr. MACKAY last night performed the same cha-
racter qt. Drury Lane Theatre, and in all respects
fully justified the highly favourable terms in
which he was described by the distinguished
Scotch Bard, who has thus shown that he is as
judicious as a Critic as he is animated as a Poet.
The Play was performed for the benetit,of Mr.
COOPER and Mr. H. JOHNSTON. Mr. MACKAY
was so well received that we hope he will repeat
his performance for the benefit of the Theatre.
The success of Miss DANCE on the London
Stage, success well merited by her extraordinary
talents, has procured her very advantageous offers
from the Edinburgh Manager, which she has ac-
cepted. She, is, however, we find, previously-to
take leave of the London Public in the characters
of Ophelia in Hamlet, and Maria in The Citizen,
two characters so widely different that if she
should be equally successful in both she will, if
possible, increase the admiration which her talents
have excited.

Mr. BitAIIAM and Miss WILSON quit London
early'On Sunday morning, to fulfil their country
engagements, consequently to-morrow and Sa-
turday evening. are the last they will perform at
Drury-lane Theatre this Season.
John Fleming, Esq. M. P. for Hants, at his last audit, made
a reduction of 10 per cent. in his rents.
On Friday last a trout was caught in the Kennet river near
Newbury-bridge, in high perfection, which weighed VIM-ARLIE'
or TEN POUNDI.

At Manchester, between the 9th and 14th inst. 248 children
were christened at the Collegiate church, and 84 couple mar-
