vernments. On this account we are hopeful that two objects
may be accomplished—lst, the entire amity between the
French Government and the British Government ; and
2dly, a resolution in both Governments to conform their
views of international policy, so as to accommodate each
other, and not produce discrepant interests in their con-
nection with other Powers. Now, both these objects—
the one of which, we conceive, depends on the other—will
be much advanced towards accomplishment, by a closer
union in sentiment, than has yet existed between the
people of both countries. No opportunity ever occurred, or
possibly could occur, to mark our desire to propitiate the
kind feelings of the French nation, like the present; and if
the people of Britain now come forward, with the gene-
rosity which has been proposed, and the Government
avail of the existing feeling to represent towards France
the real sentiment of Britain, then, we conceive, will
there be a chance, that all little contending interests be-
tween the two nations, will disappear ; and France and
England united, govern the policy, as they should do, of
the whole world. These are our reasons for approving of
subscriptions for those who have suffered—those who
have a title for the aid of all mankind—•as it is in the
grand struggle of the whole race that they have suffered.

The following is the much-admired speech of the Duke
de FtTz-JAMES, in the French Chamber of Peers:—
The Duke de Fitz-James, on being called, rose. (Great
attention, and profound silence.)—" Having been ab-
sent from home for sonic days on a short journey,
I suddenly learned that a dreadful thunderbolt
had fallen on France, and that the Royal Family
had disappeared in the tempest. The firing of the
guns, which proclaimed a new King, seemed to await
my arrival yesterday into the capital, and to-day I am
summoned to this Chamber to take a new oath. I have
never made a sport of my word, and with me the
obligation of an oath has always been sacred. I have
taken only two oaths during my life: the first, in early
youth, to Louis XVI. of blessed memory; the second, in
1814, to the constitutional Charter, the principles of which
had long been implanted in my heart, and which I re-
joiced to see made the law of France. I defy any living
being to accuse me of having been unfaithful to those two
oaths. (Unequivocal marks of assent.) You will, per-
haps, do me the justice to admit that in this Chamber I
have never delivered an opinion which had not for its
foundation the very text of the Constitutional Charter,
and I call honour to witness that for these 16 years there
never has arisen in my heart any wish which was not
conformable to that Charter. Being tried by misfortune al-
most on my entrance into life, I was, in adversity, early
taught to submit to the decrees of Providence, and to fortify
myself against storms. How to remain faithful to a hope-
less cause has long been known in my family, and in
that respect we have not a new lesson to learn. (Fresh
marks of assent, and several Peers shed tears.) Doubt.
less I deplore, and shall ever deplore, the fate of Charles
the Tenth. Long honoured by his bounty, no one
better knows than I all the virtues of his heart. Even
when deceived by Ministers, even more imbecile than per-
fidious—(A number of voices, " Yes, yes !")—when,
too vainly, alas ! I endeavoured to make him hear the
truth which was so criminally concealed from him—[a
new movement]—l declare now, and shall always de-
clare, that I never heard him express any wish which
had not for its object the happiness of the French people,
and the prosperity of France. This justice it is my duty
to render him. These sentiments, which will ever lire
in my grateful heart, and which would stifle me
if I did not give them free vent, I love to pour out before
you, and I should pity him to whom they could give offence.
Yes ! to my latest breath,—so long as a drop of blood
makes my heart beat,—on the scaffold, if ever I am de-
stined there to lay my head—l shall boldly avow my love
and respect for my old master. I shall say that he did
not deserve his fate, and that the French, who never knew
him, have been unjust towards him. (Agitation.) But at
this moment I am myself too only a Frenchman, and in the
situation in which I am placed, I am bound to devote
myself entirely to my country. This high consideration
for the safety of France is doubtless the only one which can
have induced so many wise minds to concur in promul-
gating with such precipitation acts which have within six
days decided the destiny of France. (More emotion.) Every
tbing was consummated, and you beheld anarchy ready
to seize upon us and devour us. I cannot be deaf to the
influence of those motives. It is to them alone I
sacrifice all the feelings which, during 16 years, have at-
tached me to life. These sentiments impelling me by
irresistible violence, make me open my mouth to pro-
nounce the oath required of me." (Bravo ! Bravo !)
The oath was taken, amongst others, without any ob-
servation, by the following Peers :

Count Boissy d'Anglas, Duke de Branca', Duke de Broglie,
Duke de Cadore, Marquis de Castellene Duke de Castries, Count

A most deliberate and revolting instance of worse
than savage brutality was discovered on Thursday morn-
ing in this town. A beautiful little baby, apparently
about two months old, was found at low water at the
New Docks, a rope tied about its neck, and a bury stone
attached to it. 'Though the strictest inquiry has been
made, the infamous parent has not yet been discovered..—.
Galway Paper.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
To the present hour we have no express from Paris,
or are there any other arrivals of the least consequence,
which causes a great dearth of intelligence this morning.
The speech of the Duke Fitzjames in the French House
of Peers is much admired. The next arrival from the
French capital may bring us the new ministry, with the
appointments of the ambassadors to the foreign Courts ;
but there being no post-office express, it is considered
that nothing of consequence has taken place.
Consols, which left off yesterday at 91i for the ac-
count, opened at the same price; they have been done at
9l a but at present they are at the former price, with
little or nothing doing. In the foreign market scarce a
bargain has been done, and the prices are nominal.

CITY, HALF PAST ONE.
Consols, which were steady in the early part of the
moming,:at 91a for the account, on a sudden gave way,
owing to some sales having been effected, but not by any
first-rate broker; the report was of some disagreeable
information from Vienna, but we could not trace it to
any authentic source. The market fell to 911, and at
present they are 91il.
An express has arrived from Paris at a late hour, but
the contents have not yet transpired. It is said the rents
come lower.

In the Foreign Market nothing doing at present in
shares. South Metro litan Gas 21 premium.
ROYAL MEDICAL APPOINTMENTS.—There is much
whispering in the profession relative to the recent medi-
cal appointments about his Majesty's person, and the use
made of a delegated authority, which we notice, that, if
the rumours be incorrect, they may be the sooner set
right. All the medical appointments of his Majesty
as Duke of Clarence, are said to have been superseded,
and the name of ono party only to have re-appeared
among those appointed to attend the King. Sir Henry
Halford, Sir Gilbert Blane, and Sir Matthew Tierney,
have been appointed Physicians in Ordinary to his Ma-
jesty, to which appointment a salary of 3001. per an-
num is annexed. Sir Henry Halford, as President of
the College of Physicians, is said to be ex-officio one of
the Physicians in Ordinary to the King; but as he may
not always continue President, he has taken the pre-
caution to be also appointed a Physician in Ordinary in
the usual course, which double appointment of the same
person to the same office, is said to give the fortunate
holder a right to a double salary, or six hundred in-
I stead of three hundred per annum. The name of Sir
Henry Halford appears at the head of the list, though
in conjunction with a Physician of greater age, of
the highest scientific character, the oldest and longest
medical adviser of his late Majesty, and, it is said,
also of our present most gracious Sovereign, and the only
one of the gentlemen whose names are above re-
corded, who had the honour of serving the present King
when Duke of Clarence. It is also said that a Dr. F.
Hawkins, a young physician of singular good fortune, as
a medical pluralist, (there being fewer salaried appoint-
ments in the medical profession than any other,) has been
appointed Physician to the Royal Household, holding at
the same time the appointment ofßegistrar to the College
of Physicians, Physician to the Middlesex Hospital, and
Professor to Kings College ; and also last, if not least,
is said to be, or to be about immediately to become,
the nephew by marriage to the President. When the ap-
pointment of Dr. Hawkins, as physician to the house-
hold ,was first mentioned, there was a general impression
it was Dr. Bissett Hawkins, which appears to have been
rroneous.—Morning Paper.

The:House of Correction, Coldbath-fields, contained, up
to Thursday evening, 911 prisoners, viz.-580 males,
and 331 females. The prison is so crowded that some of
the prisoners are compelled to sleep in sheds, within the
strong part of the building.
It is said that his Grace the Duke of Norfolk has
engaged to pay the heavy electioneering expenses of the
Hon. E. Petre, incurred during the latter gentleman's
recent unsuccessful efforts to obtain the representation of
the city of York.—Leeds Intelligencer.
His Royal Highness the Duke of Gloucester, accom-
panied by the gentlemen of his suite, dined on Monday
last with their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Kent
and the Princess Victoria, at Malvern, and returned to
this place in the evening. We understand it is the Prin-
cess's intention to return the Duke of Gloucester's visit
before his Royal Highness leaves Cheltenham ; but it
being their Royal Highness's wish that no public demon-
stration of joy should take place, we trust that they will
view our town and the public establishments in undis-
turbed quiet.—Cheltenham Paper.
At Bridport, a subscription for the widowsand orphans
of those who fell at Paris has been opened, to which the
working classes are contributing one penny each. This
example deserves to be followed elsewhere, as it will
serve to show bow many are the Englishmen whose
hearts are for the cause of freedom.

The present King of the French was walking many
years ago in a nursery-ground at Twickenham, and was
directing the attention of a companion to a luxuriously
loaded apricot-tree, when the head gardener came up and
offered the Duke some remarkably fine Orleans plums.
" 1 thank you, Sir," replied the Duke, " I have already
had a taste of that bitter fruit, and no longer relish it."
FROM THE MESSAGER DES Cii.tmeaes.—General
Lafayette, grown young again by recent events, seems
possessed of übiquity. Yesterday, at four o'clock, he
went to the Rue des Pyramides, to the establishment
formed by Drs. Martinet, Andreux, and M. Degenetais.
Accompanied by his son, M. G. Lafayette, the General
went through the rooms filled with the brave men who ob-
tained our liberty at the price of their blood. He ad-
dressed to each sufferer some words of consolation, and
, retired amidst the blessings of the wounded, and of the
throng of persons assembled to see him. On reaching
his carriage, he extended his hand to the medical
gentlemen, and said, " Gentlemen, I thank you in the
name of your country, for having preserved those citizens
who make our strength and glory."
An incident of rather a ludicrous nature occurred last
Sunday at a church in the neighbourhood of Paris. A
Care, not remarkable for hie attainments in Latinity, in
reading the morning service, was staggered when he came
to the word Regent, in the prayer for the King, and
after the words Domine salvum fac, abruptly introduced
the words le Gouvernment provisoire.
A gentleman, just arrived from Havre, states, that the
Charles Carrot and the Great Britain, two splendid
American packet ships, left Havre on the sth inst. and
arrived at Cherbourg on the 7th, to receive Charles
the Tenth and his family on board ; destination supposed
to be Italy. The above ships were to receive 10,000
each per month.
Lord Mansfield was seated at dinner when the news
was brought to him of the manifesto fulminated by the
Duke of Brunswick against the French people. He
threw himself back in his chair, and emphatically ob-
served, that " if all the spirits of evil had assembled in
Pandemonium, to plot the overthrow of the French mo-
narchy, they could not have contrived any thing better
clalculated for the purpose."—Communicated by a rela-
tion of Lord Mansfield's to the present relator of the tinse-
-1 dote.—Spirit of Literature.

COURT INTELLIGENCE.

THEIR MAJESTIES.
WINDSOR, Ave. 13
This morning at an early hour the bells of the Parish
and Castle Churches rang a merry peal in honour of
her Majesty's birth-day ; and about ten o'clock the
cannon, which have recently been presented to the
Corporation of Windsor by Lord Ashbrook, were
fired. At half-past eleven o'clock the King and
Queen, with the whole of the distinguished party,
left the Castle for Bushy, now the Queen's Lodge
The Royal cortege proceeded through the town at a
slow pace. There were eight carriages and four,
with a number of outriders, in addition to several car-
riages which followed shortly afterwards. Their Ma-
jesties were in the first carriage, the King riditi.:.; with
his back to the horses, and looking remarkably well. In
the same carriage with their Majesties were the Princess
Hesse Homburg and Prince Auguste of Prussia. In the
second carriage were the Duchess of Gloucester, the
Duke and Duchess of Cumberland, and the Duke of
Cambridge. In the third carriage were the Prince
George of Cambridge and Prince George of Cumberla ad.
and their tutors. The 4th carriage contained Princes,
Augusta, Lord and Lady Clinton, and Miss Fitzclarence
The remaining carriages contained Colonel Fitzclarence,
Sir H. Taylor, Sir Andrew Barnard, Lady Sidney, Sir
F. Watson, and the remaining numerous suite. Theii
Majesties return this evening, and entertain a large part)
at dinner at the Castle to-morrow. At half-past one•
o'clock the second battalion of Foot Guards, commanded
by Colonel D'Oyley, marched into the Long Walk, and
after forming in line, fired a feu-de-joie ; the band then
played God Save the King, and three cheers were after-
wards given by the soldiers, when they returned to the
barracks. The sth Dragoon Guards also fired a feu-dc-
joie in the barrack-yard, and gave three cheers.

THEIR MAJESTIES' VISIT TO HAMPTON COURT.

Yesterday the hamlet of Hampton presented a pv
and gratifying scene in honour of this occasion. Three
triumphal arches were erected ; one at Hampton Court.
green, another in Clarence-place, and a third near tb,
entrance of Bushy Park, each bearing the national flag,
banners, and the initials of their Majesties interwoven
with laurels, roses, &c. That at Bushy Park had
the inscription—" Welcome our Gracious Queen." About
one o'clock the band of tho Queen's Own was heard at
a distance, which was the first signal of their Ma-
jesties' arrival. A few minutes afterwards their
Majesties appeared in a travelling carrriage, in which
they had arrived from Windsor, and were received at
the first triumphal arch with loud and reiterated cheers,
amidst the firing of maroons from Madame Hengler's bat-
tery. Under a temporary canopy were stationed several
young ladies, daughters of the most respectable inha-
bitants, attired in white dresses, with baskets of flowers
in their hands. The cortege stopped for a minute, and
one young lady presented the Queen with a basket of
flowers, which her Majesty received with the most con-
descending affability ; the other young ladies then strewed
the road with flowers. This was the most interesting
spectacle of the day. Their Majesties, on their
arrival at the Palace, partook of a public breakfast,
and subsequently received an Address of congratula-
tion from the inhabitants, to which they were
pleased to return a most gracious answer, his Ma-
jesty conversing in the most affable manner with
the Deputation who took up the Address. At three
o'clock a dinner was given to all the children of the
district of Hampton, and this was done that the first cele-
bration of Queen Adelaide's Birth-day may be remem-
bered by the young people, and talked of by them when
they themselves had fallen into " the sear and yellow
leaf." At a late hour last night their Majesties left
Hampton for Windsor, previous to which a magnificent
display of fire-works by Madame Hengler, Artist to their
Majesties, was exhibited in the Royal presence. The
triumphal arch was most brilliantly illuminated by Mr.
Newberry, as were also the principal taverns.
The late Hampshire election partook somewhat of an
Irish character, one of the Members having been elected
by a majority of full five to one against him.
The Rev. R. M. Chatfield, B.A. of Trinity College,
has been presented by the Bishop of Soder and Mau, to
the united Vicarages of Wilaford and Woodford, Wilts.
The late heavy rains must prove a sad hindrance, if
not, as is too much to be feared, a permanent injury to
the wheat harvest.

A very confident expectation is entertained that the
abolition of the Roman Catholic as the state religion in
France, will open a wide door to the extension of Pro-
testant principles. llitherto, as far as this matter is
concerned, there has been in France, especially in the
capital, by far too little religion of any kind. Religion
and virtue are nearly allied ; and without private virtue.
public liberty can never very long exist.
The aggregate revenues of the English parochial Cler-
gy are stated, by a recent writer on the subject, to amount
to 3,447,1381. which being divided by 11,342 (the ac-
tual number of benefices in England and Wales), gives
an average income of about 3001. to each incumbent.
The adulteration of drugs is said to be can led to such
an extent as, in many instances, totally to destroy their
efficacy. Should the result lead to the disuse of medi-
cine, it is to be feared that Mr. Malthus, and the whole
tribe of over-populationists, will have a new and un-looked-
for hydra to contend with.
Lord Wharncliffe arrived at Wortley-hall, on Friday,
from Ingestrie-hall, Staffordshire, the seat of Earl Talbot.
to whom his lordship had been some time on a visit. The
projected marriage of the Hon. John Talbot to Miss
Wortley, one of Lord Wharncliff's amiable daughters, is
expected to take place shortly.
A letter from Bayonne, dated the sth of August, says
that several women engaged in smuggling had arrived
there that day, and reported that there was great agitation
in several villages within the Spanish frontier. A pro-
clamation received from France had been read at Pampe-
luna, and widely circulated in spite of the vigilance of
the Spanish authorities.—Paris paper.
The of of the garrison of Strasburg, in their ad-
dress to the Chamber of Deputies, say " they reject with
all their souls Charles X. who, by violating his oath, has
raised an insurmountable barrier between France and his

posterity."
The Mayor of Liverpool having refused to comply with
a requisition which had been presented to him, to call a
public meeting of the inhabitants respecting the recent
events in France, the gentlemen who signed the requisi-
tion have called a meeting for Saturday next, " to take
into consideration the best mode of expressing their ad-
miration of the independent and heroic spirit of the people
of Paris, as recently displayed in their resistance to the
infringement of their constitutional rights, and to mani-
fest their sympathy with the survivors for the loss of those
distinguished patriots who fell in the glorious struggle."
Among the subscriptions from various parts of France
for the relief of the Parisians, whose relatives were killed
in defence of their national rights, we see under the date
of Rennes, August 8, the officers of the 32d line, in gar-
rison, 500 f; the officers of the Bth regiment of realer'',
1553 f.
