leave, for this day at least, to preserve a complete
silence. Angry and acrimonious discussionsare in

full progress on this subject ; but surely a short
truce at least may be had, from the tur-

moil of discord and contention. Let there
be peace, at least till we " bury our dead

from out of our sight." It is, indeed,

wonderful that, the fierce and proud passions

'which revel in the stormy element of political de-

late, should not of themselves seek an interval of

stillness at such a crisis. The affecting lesson of
mortality that has been read to us might well
alarm the haughtiest heart into humility, and

sadden the sternest nature into tenderness.

The Marquis of LANSDOWNE repaired to
Windsor, this afternoon, to wait upon his

MAJESTY.

The Paris Papers of Sunday, and the Ga-
zette de France, dated Monday morning,, came
to hand last night, but their contents possess
(little interest. The King of FRANCE, on the
3d of September, is to commence a tour to the
northern parts of his Kingdom. His MAJESTY
is to visit Cambray, Valenciennes, Douay, Lisle,
Hazelruck, Dunkirk,. and St. Omer, and will
return to Paris about the 18th of the same
month. We subjoin a few extracts :

(From the Gazette de France of Monday.)
Letters from Lausanne, of the 31st July, say, that the
Swiss Confederation has appointed Consuls at Mexico and
Rio de Janeiro. Mr. Charles Lavate, of Zurich, is to be
Consul at Mexico.

A Baltimore Journal says, that the Brazilian Chambers
had a secret Sitting on the 2Sd May, in which they deli-
berated on the indemnity claimed by the. French Govern-
ment for French ships detained by the Brazilian navy, in
the late war against Buenos Ayres.
A letter from Port du Petre, of June 25th, says :
" Sugars have risen to 45 francs, in consequence of the
scarcity of the article, and of the presence of numerous
ships, which cannot get a freight on any terms, many have
gone away half laden, and others are going to sail without
ballast. A ship from Bordeaux now offers to take goods
gratis, to serve it, for ballast, which is very dear here."
(From the Constitutionnel of Sunday.)
Pains, Auc. 4.—We have to-day to state as a fact, that
in the official Journal an article has been published, in
which it is announced that Spain and Portugal can be
evacuated by the French and English troops only when
anarchy shall cease in the latter kingdom ; and, according
to the authors of this article, order can be re-established
there only when Don Miguel, having attained his twenty-
fifth year, shall be installed in the Regency. This notifi-
cation reminds us of the different articles of the English
!Journals on this subject, and the letter of Doctor
Abrantes, which we have laid before our readers. The
Official Journal announces also, that Den Miguel hay-
I .- in taken the oath to the Portuguese Charter, will observe,
lit faithfully. But until now it always appeared to us, that
'in the view of the authors of this article, the Charter was,
the essential principle of the anarchy of which they com-
plained. A few days ago they declared, that having been
thrown over from Brazil, it never would become popular.
I-low, then, will this Charter, eivorn to and faithfully carried
into execution by the Regent, cease to be a cause of con-
fusion? How will Spain, which sees no guarantee for
tranquillity under the present Regency, find any under the
future Regency? This is the only remark we have to make
just now.

LONDON,
WEDNESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 8, 1827.

The Russian fleet, consisting of sixteen sail,
have passed the Galloper, and the wind being fair
their arrival at Spithead may be expected to-day.
Report states that a large number or troops are
on board these ships, but we should be inclined
to question the accuracy of this statement, parti-
cularly as it is now ascertained that a part only
of the fleet is to proceed to the Mediterranean.

At a very early .hour this morning,, tidings
reached us from Chiswick, verifying our worst
fears and auguries. Mr. CANNINGTIOW lives only
lin the hearts of his friends, the attachment of his

country, and the admiration of mankind! He ex

His Royal Highness the Grand Duke has convoked a

Reports are in circulation of a great defeat said to have'
been sustained by the Persian army, under the command of
Prince Abbas 'Mina, in the neighbourhood of Erivan,
which place the Prince had attempted to relieve. As the
report of the speedy conclusion of peace with Persia is more
prevalent than ever, it may be conjectured that this event
{will tend to accelerate it.

they have been nearly stationary. at 871 for the
last two hours; Exchequer Bills are a shilling per'
cent. lower. The French Funds have come
over a shade lower, 3 per Cents. 73 50. The

WINDSOR, AUG. 7.—Yesterday his MA-
JESTY was engaged the whole of the forenoon with dispatches
from the Foreign and Home Departments. He likewise re-
ceived the bulletin of the state of Mr. CANNING. In the after-
noon his3lAntsxy enjoyed some of his favourite drives in the
Great Park, and from thence to Frogmore Lodge, where he
dined with the Queen of Wn aTzmn u ao,and their Royal High-
nesses Princess AUGUSTA and the Duchess of GLOUCESTER..
His AIAJESTE was attended by the Lord Steward, Sir
WILLIAM KEPPEL, and SiT EDMUND NAGLE. The KING
withdrew at half-past ten o'clock and returned to the Royal
Lodge. His Majesty's private band attended at Frogmore'
Lodge, and played during the evening.
DOVER, AUG. 7.-• The Russian squadron,
under the command Gf Admiral SINIAVIN, consisting of'
nine sail of the line, seven frigateti, and a cutter, arrived
off this port this morning about nine o'clock, and proceeded
down Channel with a fine breeze eastwardly. It is under-
stood they will anchor at Portsmouth, and they will, in'
all probability, arrive there to-morrow morning. Sailed
this morning, for Calais, his Majesty's packet Salamander,
with the Marchioness of DOWNSHIRE and her family.
Mr. CANNING died in the house in which,
broken, like him, by labour as well as illness, Charles James
Fox died.

The internal inflammation is so general, ex-
tending over the whole trunk,, that his. medical
attendants have been unable to determine what
particular part may have been more immediately
the seat of the disease ; whether the inflamma-
don has affected the lungs, the pleura, the liver,
the kidneys, or the intestines, with p3ater or less
violence.

I Mr. CANNING himself was the last to know
the danger of his situation. As we have already
stated, he found himself indisposed on Sunday
week, but on Monday he went to Windsor to
attend the King,; on the Tuesday and Wednes-
day he Was in town, transacting public business ;
still getting worse and his strength sinking ; but
nothing appeared which inspired either himself
or his family with alarm. On Thursday a me-
dical friend called upon him at Chiswick, upon a
matter of business, and he was so struck with
what he perceived in his manner and general
appearance, that he insisted upon immediately
having professional assistance. This was assented
to, and on Thursday evening a consultation was
held, and the opinion of the physicians then pre-
sent was, that his case was one of the greatest
danger. The disease continued to make rapid
progress, in spite of all that the first medical
skill could do to baffle it, watching every turn it
took, and applying, on the instant, every remedy
likely to subdue its virulence, and mitigate his
sufferings.
Under the influence of such an attack, it may
be supposed that the mind would sympathize
with the excited state of the general system.—
Our readers will learn with melancholy interest,
that in those moments of mental wandering, in-
dications are afforded of the cares and anxieties
that occupied the thoughts of the illustrious suf-
ferer to the lastinstant of their unclouded and
unimpaired exercise. The broken sentences and
disjointed phrases that fall from his lips, disclose
that public affairs, and his country's welfare, are
the objects that dimly flit across his mind, and
claim its enfeebled and wandering attention.—
This ceaseless solicitude for the great and solemn
trust placed in his hands, manifests itself equally
at those moments when he is more calm and col-
lected. In one of those intervals be-expressed
: himself with regard to his own situation, and
that of his Sovereign, in a manner at once the
most noble and most touching.
