Monday next.
The Committee on the Bill for the supplementary

Purtendic, referred to the arbitration of the King of
Prussia.

The King has granted his exequatur to G. W. Fea-
therstonhaugh, Esq., (her Britannic Majesty's late Com-
misionar for the North American boundary, and author
of an " Excursion through the Slave States of the
United States"), to be her Majesty's Consul at Havre.

presented to their Majesties, left Paris on Wednesday
morning for his post.
Preparations are being made for laying the first stone

to be shortly performed by the King.
A letter from Algiers gives the following as the
French force now in Algeria :—Division of Algiers, in-
cluding officers, 37,000; ditto of Oran, 29,500; ditto of
Constantina, 24,500. Total, 91,000; from which are to
be deducted is 000 on furlough, or in the hospitals ;
making the effective force 78,000. The number of
horses is 16,000, and of mules 5,000.
The Augsburg Gazette mentions a report from Con-
stantinople that the Turkish army, which is only 100,000
strong, although nominally it is 150,000, is to be carried
to an effective force of 200,000.

Letters from Warsaw confirm the report that the Em-
peror of Russia has ordered the execution of the late
Ukase against the Jews to be suspended for the present.
" The causes of the recent rebellion in the Military
School of St. Cyr," says the Presse, " do not appear to
have been very serious in themselves. For a long time,
the pupils of a certain standing in the School have, by
usage, imposed upon the new comers, during their first
year. a thousand unpleasant, and sometimes cruelty
painful, obligations and treatment. Some of the last
of the youths who entered having determined to resist
these barbarous usages, were exposed to such violent
treatment, that the lives of several were placed in dan-
ger. It therefore became necessary for the Conunandant
of the School to interfere. This gave rise to the re-
bellion ; but the punishment inflicted by the Minister
of War, upon the most prominent culprits, has re-
stored order."

The Revue de Paris says, that the announcement of its
being the intention of the Government to put down the
establishments of Jesuits that exists in France is not well
founded, such a measure being impracticable, as the
Jesuits hold their property not as a collective body, but
in the names of individvals.
His Excellency Semi Pacha, Privy Councillor of the
Viceroy of Egypt, arrived at Marseilles last week, on his
way to Paris.
According to the last accounts from Switzerland, there
is still great excitement about the Jesu its. The Govern-
ment of Lucerne was in daily expectation of an attack
from the volunteer forces of Argau.
A letter from Athens, of the 31st ult., announces that
the chief subject of conversation in that capital is a note,
said to be communicated by Austria to the other great
Powers, directing their attention to Greek affairs, and
suggesting that the following resolutions should be
agreed to between them :—" 1. That considering the dis
positions obligatory which established the Hellenic king-
dom, the 40th article of the Constitution should he sup-
pressed, which requires that the heir to the throne should be
of the Greek Church. 2. That the Powers, being determined
to regard the present boundaries of Greece as decidedly
fixed, disapprove of any attempt to extend them. 3.
That desiring the consolidation of the Greek monarchy,
they should see with displeasure any attempt to disturb
the tranquillity of the interior." There was but one
British ship of war at the Piraeus, the Belvidere, Captain
the Hon. G. Grey. The French Admiral 'rurpin re-
mained there with several ships of the line and one
frigate.

MAW AND POTACIII.
Mr. Cowling obtained a rule in the Bail Court, calling
on the treasurer of the county of Lancaster to show
cause why he refused to pay to the coroner of one of the
divisions of the said county the fees and expenses of holding
129 inquests. Under the new law an inquest might be
held by any coroner in whose jurisdiction death took
place, but previously if an accident happened in one
county, and the person injured was removed into another
county, but ultimately died in a third, it was doubtful if
a coroner had any jurisdiction, and it was for the pur-
pose of settling this point that the application was made.
The Court of Common Pleas heard appeals from the
decisions of the revising barristers.
Robert Barrett, who lately kept the Saxe. Coburg
Saloon, Windmill-street, was discharged by the Insolvent
Court.
At the Guildhall John and George Axtell, two gen-
teel-looking youths, who were charged on a previous day
with burg lariously entering the chamber of Mr. Wise, a
barrister, in the Middle Temple, were fully committed
for trial.

Ten male and three female paupers belonging to St.
Luke's, Chelsea, the greater part of whom were about
eighteen years of age, were charged at Queen-square
with being disorderly and refusing to work in the house.
The charge was clearly proved. It having been said
that one of the male defendants could hardly be held
accountable for his actions, he was discharged ; but the
remainder of the male defendants were committed for
fourteen days—the females for ten days. After the de-
fendants were locked up, they made such a noise by
shouting and singing, that they could be heard a consi-
derable distance off.

Yesterday, Mr. James Keeeh Buesel, who had for-
merly carried on an extensive business as a master tailor
at Camberwell, was committed from Lambeth, on a
charge of fraud, and embezzling various sums of money,
to a considerable amount, the property of Mr. John
Saunders, a tailor and draper, at Peckham-rye.
