THE ENGLISH THEATRE AT PARIS.

On Friday last Mr. WALLACK took his benefit,
and the attempt was renewed to drive Mrs. WEST

from the stage. At the beginning of the fifth act of
The Stranger, scarcely had she appeared, when she
was assailed with the loud hissing of seven er eight
individuals spread through the pit. The trembling
actress sought refuge behind the wings of the scenery,
and the curtain was dropped. Animated debates
arose between the riotous conspirators and the re-
spectable people, who were astonished to witness an
hostility so spitefully malignant. A young man, who
' was not hissing himself, but who was known
to be the leader of the cabal, was ordered by
the police to withdraw. The Stranger was finished
without much further disturbance ; but the mal-
contents had reserved their strength for the
following piece, which was Douglas. Mrs.
WEST was again violently hissed, and again the
performance was interrupted. Some young men in
the orchestra answered the appeal made by Mr.
ABBOTT to French gallantry and generosity, by get-
ting over into the pit and ignominiously expelling
the disturbers.--There was no more hissing, but
instead of it Mrs. WEST was greatly applauded as
Lady Randolph. WALLACK played Young Douglas
with energy and ability. The Journal des Debals
remarks, that " this tragedy, which is said to be
founded on an old Scotch ballad, appears only to be
a spiritless imitation of the Eresphontes of EURI-
PIDEs, and of the Merope of MAFFEI and VOL..
TAIRE ; there are several passages evidently bor-
rowed from these three tragedies."

LONDON,
FRIDAY EVENING, AUGUST 14, 1829.

Due.

We received this morning, by Express, the
Paris Papers of Wednesday, and a Second
Edition of the illessager des Chambres, with
the prices of the Funds.
Up to the last moment, it was expected that the
new Ministry would publish some declaration of
the course intended to be pursued with respect
to its Foreign relations ; but not one word ap-
peared in the Moniteur of Wednesday, nor
was any act of the New Administration an-

flounced.
The Gazette de France says, " It is reported
that M. RAVEZ has been raised to the Peerage,"
but if such had taken place it would have been
notified i❑ the Monitcur.
The Constitutionnel says, " It is reported
that M. de BoululoNl' has resigned the post of

Minister at War," but as these Papers all speak
their wishes rather than their belief, such reports
are unworthy of credit, until officially confirmed.
The other Paris Papers do not contain any
thing important. The Courrier Francais affects
to have some diplomatic disclosures, touching a

triple alliance between England, France, and
Austria, the object of which is to curb the ambi-
tion of Russia. England is to send her dis-
posable naval force to destroy the Russian fleet,
and naval depots in the Black Sea ; France is to
send 30,000 men to Constantinople or its vicinity;
while Austria is to march an army to the fron.
tiers of (where does the reader think ?) not
Turkey but France ! to overawe the people while
the French army is in Turkey ! ! Really this is a
diplomatic disclosure with a vengeance. Would

it not have been more effectual to send an Aus-
trian army into Wallachia and Servia, for the
purpose of cutting off the supplies and retreat
of the Russians, than to the frontiers of France,
where it would only rouse the vengeance of the
people, and precipitate the danger it was intended
to avert ? But it is idle to reason upon such
absurd reports.

The following is interesting :

(From the Message,. des Cham—bres-2d Edition.)

PARIS, AUG. 12, AT NOON.-Letters from Warsaw
of the 12th of July, say that the Polish Diet is to open
in the month of October, and that the Emperor will come
from St. Petersburgh to open it in person ; that some
other Sovereigns will be there at the same time, and that
there will be a Congress. Great efforts are making in the
interior of the Russian empire. Very considerable rein-
forcements are sent to the army. General Witt is gone to
the military colonies to exercise the troops which are fit for
service. They amount to 60,000 men.

The Journal of Odessa of July 22, says, "The news of
-the total defeat of the Grand Vizier's army, as we learn by
arrival of the English brig Helen, from Constantinople,
lad spread consternation in the Turkish capital. It was
ttported that the Ottoman army had lost 35,000 men,
.with all their camp and artillery."—Augsburg Gazette.
Letters from Orsowa announce that one of the towers
:of the citadel of Widdin had been very much damaged by
the explosion of the powder magazine, which seems to
have been set on fire by design. Many lives were lost ; it
is feared that the attempt may be repeated. The Pacha,
who greatly distrusts the regular troops, wishes to send
theM all out of the town, and has requested the Pacha of
Belgrade to send him some militia, which he immediately
did.

The news from the Turkish army is by no means sa-
tisfactory, and every body foresees that the Porte will be
obliged to ask for peace, after having exhausted all its means
of resistance. The levy en masse has produced only
30,000 men in the course of a month. Meantime the
Russian army is marching towards Constantinople, the for-
tifications of which are by no means sufficient for the de-
fence of so litrge a city. . _

Advices from the frontiers of Italy to the 29th
July state, that a treaty of alliance, offensive and
defensive, had been concluded between Sardinia

and a great power (Austria) for guaranteeing the
integrity of the Sardinian territory against inva-
sion. The Piedmontese cavalry had been re-
mounted on 3,000 horses brought from the north
of Germany.

We have Cape Papers to the 7th June. A
Literary Society had been formed at Cape Town
with the sanction of the Governor. Man die-
tures were selling at a very disadvantageous rate
in Cape Town.

All accounts received at Vienna from Con-
stantinople preclude every hope of peace be-
tween the Turks and Russians. The SULTAN
will not make" the least concession, and even ap-
pears more obstinate than ever. With respect
to the protocol of the 22d March, he says that
it is inconsistent with his honour, dignity, and the
interests of his Empire. The same spirit he
manifests with regard to the Treaty of the
6th July, declaring that he will only grant
to his revolted Greek subjects an armistice and
some privileges as before promised. This is all
very fine, but the SULTAN will soon find that
he must lower his tone if he wishes to preserve
his station.

The opening of the Post-office will not take
place, it is said, till the beginning of October.
It is certainly far better to wait till every thing is
fully prepared than to precipitate a matter of
such general importance. In the meantime the
various arrangements are carrying on with alacrity.
The new General Post Receiving House in Vere-
street, Oxford-street, and that at Charing-cross,
are fitting up with all despatch. In order to
expedite the business at the General Post
Office, the letters at these receiving houses
will be sorted as they come in, which will enable
the General Office to extend the period
of receiving letters up to a quarter to seven
o'clOck. We do not see why it might
not be seven o'clock, as it will only take five
minutes to go from Charing-cross, and ten
minutes from Vere-street, to the General:Post-
office_ But we must wait till the new plan has had
a fair trial : subsequent improvements can easily
be adopted. Many improvements would have
been carried into effect long ago, but for the
fear of " innovation," and an overdue regard for
the interests of the revenue. The " total
amount" on Quarter-day was every thing—and
absorbed all other considerations. But the new
and " happy" change will facilitate business and
also swell the revenue.

By advices from the Mauritius, we learn that
the following Government Order had been pro-
mulgated :—" His Excellency the Governor in
Council having taken into consideration that the
dues hitherto collected on some of the smaller
articles of consumption at Port Louis Bazaar,
pressed too heavily on the poorer classes, and on
those who expose such articles for sale, and his
Excellency wishing to encourage the industrious
part of the community by rendering
.the market
supplies:as abundant as possible, has been pleased
to order those dues to be discontinued, and it is
therefore ordered that in future all contributions
or dues on the following articles shall cease to be
levied, viz.—fowls, live pigs, cakes, oysters, salt
provisions, shrimps, snuff and tobacco."

Another vacancy has occurred on the Judi-
cial Bench, by the death of Mr. CHARLES
WARREN, Chief Justice of Chester, who de-
parted this life, at his house in Bedford-square,
on Wednesday afternoon, in the 66th year of his
age. The Commissioners on the Common
Law have recommended in their report to
abolish the Welch Judgeships altogether, and
the present opportunity seems a very fair one to
begin with, should Government really intend to
carry the recommendations of the Commission-
ers into effect. Unnecessary patronage only
serves to perpetuate error. A wise Government
will only wish to maintain such offices as are for
the benefit of the public ; and if the Chief Justice-
ship and other Judicial offices in Wales can be
dispensed with, they certainly ought.

In the Police Report from the Mansion-

house, inserted in our columns of to-day, our
readers will find an interesting trait of Irish cha-
racter, developed in the person of a poor woman
who came to thank the LORD MAYOR—which
she did in a most graceful and expressive
manner—for the assistance he had afforded her
in the recovery of a favourite daughter. This

trait of gratitude we believe to be peculiarly cha-
racteristic of the native Irish, whose virtues, not-
withstanding the centuries of misrule under
which they have laboured, infinitely outweigh
their vices. What might not be made of a
nation, whose leading features are of so high and
noble a cast ? How might not Ireland be ex•
alted in the scale both of intellect and civilization,
were but fair play given to her by the sister coun-
try, and were she but allowed to develope her
energies, unfettered by the despotism of party
spirit ?

But happier (lays are, we trust, in-store for
her ; already the differences of creed—those
watch-words from time immemorial of discon-
tent and tyranny—have been swept away, and
time only is now wanting to soften the asperity
that party spirit, excited to an almost ungovern-
able excess by the late glorious Relief Bill, has
elicited. When this is effected, the case of the
poor Limerick widow will no longer be a sub-
ject worthy of comment, from its impressive
singularity.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE o' CLocr.

Private letters received from Constantinople at
Paris, state that the Reis Effendi, after having re-
ceived the official communication of the Protocol of
the 22d March, from the French and English Am-
bassadors, signified to them that the only basis on
which the Porte would treat was the re-occupation
by the Turks of the places in the Morea, and the
return of the Pacha of Tripolitza, as well as the resti-
tution of Turkish property in the Morea before the
insurrection.

Consols opened at the same price they left of at
yesterday, 881 4, and 88-7,. to 89 for the October ac-

count.

TWO O'CLOCK.

Consols, which were at the commencement of
the market 88i i for the Account, have since re-
ceded to 884 and the market appears very heavy
at present. The report is that the three Powers,
France, England, and Austria, are going to sign a
Treaty, offensive and defensive, against Russia, to
prevent her further progress in the East; but this is
only report, and perhaps for Stock-jobbing purposes.
They write from Paris that General Bourmont
has not as yet taken the oath. Also, that several
Generals have already offered their resignation.
One of the new Ministers has declared that it will
not be possible to govern while the liberty of the
press continues.

- We understand that orders went off yesterday to
Paris to make extensive purchases in the French
Ren tes.

Calcutta Papers have been received to the 25th
March, three days later than the last accounts, but
they do not bring any information of importance.
A gentleman has arrived in town from the Ha-
vannah, which he left on the 2d July : he states
that at the above period the troops had not em-
barked, and even the names of the regiments, who
were to form the expedition, were not known. There
were at the Havannab only 6000 troops of the line ;
the rest were dispersed in different parts of the
island ; he did not suppose that more than 2,000, or
2,500 men would embark, and with these few troops
it was the general opinion that the expedition would
not succeed.

The Foreign market continues inactive, without a
feature worth observation, except that Russian
Stock has also lowered one per cent, in consequence
of the reported alliance against Russia.

MARGATE, AuG. 13.

Sailed yesterday at ten o'clock A. 31. for Ostend,
his Majesty's steam-packet Spitfire, Capt. Watson,
with the mail, and about thirty passengers.
Arrived last evening at six o'clock, from Ostend,
his Majesty's steam-packet Fury, Captain Sherlock,
with the Flanders mail, and despatches from the
British Embassy at the Court of Brussels.—Among
the passengers were Sir George Denys, Lady Agar,
and several other persons of distinction.
In consequence of the mails being stow despatched
on board at Ostend, at nine o'clock, the packets ar-
rive at Margate in time for the passengers to pro-
ceed to London by the evening coaches, should they
wish so to do.
