SURREY SESSIONS, JULY 21.

William Harris, a patrol, stood indicted for steal-
ing six geese, the property of Mr. William Reeve,
landlord of the Cock inn, on Clapham-common.
The prisoner was found Guilty.
He was then tried on a second indictment, for
stealing two geese, the property of Mr. James Dale,
a coach•proprietor, under similar circumstances. The
geese in question were stolen prior to those belong-
ing to the prosecutor in the other case, and were
also found on the prisoner's premises.
The CHAIRMAN, in passing sentence, remarked
that the circumstance of the prisoner being connected
with the police aggravated the charges which were
so clearly established against him. The sentence of
the Court therefore was, that he be transported for
seven years.

IVilliam liampton and Thomas Magrill were in-
dicted for stealing six sacks of corn, the property of
Mr. Pope, a corn-merchant. A verdict of Guilty
was returned against the prisoners, and they were
sentenced to be transported for seven years each.
James Simmons stood indicted for stealing some
harness, the property of a farmer, at Cliff, in Kent.
Guilty—sentenced to seven years' transportation.

HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY.—(From a Cot-
respondent.)—Yesterday a meeting of this Society was
held at the society's house, in Regent-street, for the pur-
pose of receiving the report of the committee relative to
the late fete; HENRY Moarrox Druz, Esq., one of the
vice-presidents, in the chair. The Marquis of BUTE and
several scientific gentlemen were balloted for, and unani-
mously elected fellows. Mr. SAEINE directed the atten-
tion of the meeting to a splendid collection of dahlias,
from the gardens of the society, observing, that the want
of sunshine had, in a great degree, marred the brilliancy
of the colours: some of them were unique specimens.
Mr. LINLEY read the report of the Committee relative to
the late fete. It appeared that the number of fellows of
the society to whom tickets were sold, was 381, at 1/. le.
each, making 40011 s. ; tickets sold to non-members, at
1/. Is., 3,365, producing 3,5351. ss. ; ditto, at IL 1 Is.
6d., 383, producing 6031. 4s. 6d. ; ditto, at 2/. 2s. 309,
producing 648/. Is. The total number of tickets sold
was 4,438, producing 5,185/. Bs. 6d. Of the tickets
sold, only 3,644 were presented at the gardens, owing, no
doubt, to the unpropitious state of the weather. The
sum due to Mr. GUNTER, who provided the ,repast, was
stated to he 3,106/. 12s. ; other expenses were estimated
at 1,591/. 191. 4d., including 346/, for work chide ex-
pressly for the fête, leaving an estimated. balance done on
the transaction in favour of the society of 123/. 17s. 2d.
The gardens were reported to have suffered no injury.
The report was adopted without corn., ent the fclioivii
and their friends partook of some fine fritit which ivas,:nx
the table; and the meeting snlyseptently aftrunted.

PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.

PARIS, JULY 13.—The labours of the Cham-
ber of Deputies will terminate this week, and in
the course of a month the Chamber of Peers
will have finished its career for the present year.
Then will be decided the question of the proro-
gation, or of the closing of' the present session,
—a session which has not answered all the ex-
pectations formed of it. Those expectations
were, perhaps, exaggerated, but being disap-
lointed, have created a feeling of disgust at the
abours of the session. The present session has
paved the way for important measures in the
next, which cannot fail to be fertile in results.
The laws respecting the departmental and muni-
cipal organization,—respecting the sinking fund,
and the reductibn of the 5 per cents.,—respect-
ing mieisteertLresponsibility and the law of ar-
rest,—the laws respecting the customs, the press,
and indirect'imposts, the military penal code,
and the legal organization of the Council of
State,—such is the programme of the business
which will occupy the attention of the Chan bers
in 1830.
According as death or resign7::dons create va-
cancies in the elective Che.Thber, they are filled
up with deputies of lily:Leaf opinions, and an in.
vincible force 'earls the Government forward, in
a direction in'sre free, and more decided. M.
de Balzae and M. de Bellevme, the one formerly
• .
Prereet, and now Secretary-General to the office
of the Home Department, the other lately elected
Piefeet of Police, belong, from their situations,
to the right centre, but still they might be de-
pended upon for giving constitutional votes,
'whenever any question should arise respecting
our institutions. The counter-revolution party
exhausts itself in futile efforts, and its defeat
would have been already ensured,: had it not
been for the schism which took place in the left
side of the Chamber. The deputies belonging
to that schism, amounting to about '25 or 30,
have resolved themselves into a hostile minority,
and vehemently call for, as do the members of
the right side from different motives, a new
Chamber and a new Ministry.
But what are the means adopted by the schism
to -effect this purpose ? Can it increase its ranks
I.v the frequency, by the intemperance often, of
its attacks? It is quite sure that its external
popularity will re-act upon the Chamber, or that
the popularity will be lasting ? Surely, the re-
roaches cast upon the minority of 1819 and
1820 cannot be forgotten, who alienated the
public opinion, not by their proposed object, but
by certain indiscreet acts, and a display of a ro-
gent impatience. The deputies of the schism
have subscribed for a dinner to be given in com-
memoration of the 14th of July, 1789. Many
liberal deputies have refused to attend on the
occasion,—not because they do not regard as a
gitnious period the day when French liberty re-
ceived its first triumph, but they consider that
this is not the time, when it is the interest of
France that parties should be reconciled, to sow
the ends of discoid and disorder, and gratuit-
ously to open the sources of ancient resentment,
which ought to be closed -for., ever. This ban-
quet is, in present circumstances, a species of
appeal to the multitude, and a sort of bravado,
which sensible persons view with pain.
The law respecting the budget has received
95 black balls, out of 352 suffrages. The num-
ber of the non-contents is very remarkable. It
Shows the existence of discontent, which, is
likely to make progress. It is calculated that
out of these 95 negative votes, about 35 belong
to the right side. M. de Martignac and M. de
Portalis arc the two Ministers who are the ob-
jects of most vehement attacks. The conduct
of the former is not flirgotten in withdrawing the
departmental and municipal laws, and both are
disliked for their protection of individuals dis-
approved of by the public. The surrender of
Galotti has become a text of inexhaustible re-
proaches or complaints. However, all is at pre-
sent explained, and it will show both justice and
good sense to wait for the promised explanations
respect:l:g the offences or the crimes of which he
is accused. The Neapolitan Ambassador,
Frince Castelcicala, participates in the disgrace
of Ministers, and you arc aware that a violent
attack made upon him from the tribune, by M.
Benjamin Constant, has given occasion to an
eloquent reply of the Minister of the Interior.
This Prince Castelcicala is the same as Fabri-
cio Ruffo, who formed part of the Junta of
Naples in 1793. It cannot be denied that this
part of his life subjects him to just animadver-
sion. This junta, the too willing agent of the
vengeance. of Caroline of Austria, is celebrated
for its cruelty, and has equalled, if not surpassed,
the worst horrors of the Revolution.

The protocol signed at London, relative to
Greece, has caused much irritation. It does
not, in fact, answer the public expectation, nor
complete the business in a manner worthy of the
Three Powers. The affair of Algiers has also
given occasion to lengthened debates.
For some time past this regency has multiplied
its outrages and piracies, and we should be able

to discover in its past conduct graver causes of
war than the application of thefly:flap by the
Dey to the shoulders of our Consul. But the

bad humour of the Dcy proceeds chiefly from
the application of the 7,000,000 which we

granted in 1824 for the payment of a like surn
which he said was due to him or his agents, but
of which he denies having himself touched a
farthing. Strange reports on this subject are
current, which are not wholly destitute of proba-
bility. Three millions have been employed to
compensate such of the French as have suffered
damage by the Act of the Regency. The other
4,000,000, put down to the account of the
Jews Busnach and Bacri, have, it is said, been

shared by others.
The Dey made a complaint on this subject to
M. le Baron de llamas, then Minister of
Foreign Affairs, in an autograph latter, which
he charged the Consul M. Deval to forward to
its destination.

This letter received no reply, and the Dey
wrote a second letter to the same purpose, very
impatient in its expression, which, in contempt
of the Consul, he caused to be transmitted by his
agent at Leghorn.
M. Deval, having gone to pay his court at
the fete of Bairam, the Dey reproached and

struck him. Such is the history of the rupture
and its cause. It has already cost us nearly
22,000,000, and no one knows how to bring
this unhappy affair to an end.
This morning a report was circulated in town,
th:tt M. Portalis would be appointed First Pre-
sident of the Court of Cassation ; that he would
be succeeded by M. de Martignac, who, in his
turn, would be replaced by M. de Belliguer. I
believe, however, that the Parisians allow too
much play to their imaginations.
The marriage of the Emperor of Brazil with
the young and pretty Princess de Leuchtenberg
creates a great sensation here. There will now
still he a crown in the family of Beauharnais.
'The Duchess of St. Leu, aster-In-law Qf the

Archduchess or Parma, may soon reckon two
other crowned heath amongst her nieces, the
Empress of 13raii and the future Queen of
Sweden. is enough to make some of our
dames of the raubourg St: Germain die ofspite.

We have just lost one of our most dist

guished naval officers, Vice-Admiral Count Di
mantlt. • -He retired to rest in apparently excel
lent health, and was found dead in his bed next
morning; but it took place immediately after a
brief interview with a fair lady. Love is fatal to
our commanders. The mortal blow received by
Marshal Lauriston in a similar way will be re-
collected. It is said that the cause of his death
was apoplexy. Admiral Dumanor fell into dis-
grace with Napoleon in consequence of the battle
of Trafalgar. lie was 62 years of age.
PARIS, JULY 17.—The, liberal journals have
for some days suspended their clamour against
the judgment of the Correctional Tribunal in the
affair of the Courrier Francais. Do they begin
to perceive that between the publication of a
philosophical argument and one which wounds
the feelings of the great majority of the nation,
and is opposed to the public opinion of Europe
—that between, I may say, a publication, by
means of the journal and one by means of a book
read by a small number of persons only, there is
the same difference as between the discourse of a
popular orator, addressed to the crowd as-
sembled in a public square, and a conversation
between some friends in a saloon ?—and that,
consequently, a species of legislation is necessary
with respect to public journals beyond that which
is required for books ?—for in the one case mat-
ters may go as far as the " reading of the Riot
Act," followed by the display of military force,
whilst we have not yet seen such measures
adopted against conversation "in a private
room."

The Chamber of Deputies held yesterday its
last sitting " for the despatch of business." At
the close of the sitting of the day before yester-
day the President" announced the resignatio►i of
the Marquis de Chauvelin and the Marquis de
Voyer d'Argenson, two of the most distinguished
members of the Opposition. M. Benjamin
Constant, in a letter published to-day in the
Courrier Francais, attributes this double re-
signation to discouragement. What would they
have ? For my part, Ido not know whether I
should not felicitate the Chamber on their re-
signation. The epigrams of M. de Chauvelin,
anti the disdainful silence of M. d'Argenson,
who was, at a certain period, indebted to the in-
tervention of powerful friends for not having
been called upon to answer for the crime of trea-
son, cannot, in a country like ours, hinder the

march of affairs, and retard the honourable pro-
aress of Ministers, whom I believe to be wen-
intentioned, but who are sensible of the Mis-
trust which has been so extensively excited
against them. -

Some partisans of the anti-constitutional sj•s-
tem have seriously suggested to the Crown to
transfer the sitting of the Chambers to some
town in the provinces, such as Blois, Vendome,
or Chartres, in order to remove them from the

influence of the capital. With reference to the
more expeditious dispatch of business, the idea
is certainly not bad ; but how absurd to dream
of transporting the King and his Court, Minis-
ters and their bureaux, the heads of the different
public offices who sit in the Chamber of Deputies
.yith all their families, three hundred miles from
Paris to the midst of a population of 8,000 or
10,000 persons, where the protection absolutely
necessary for the independence of the Chambers
would be wanting, and where a battalion of in-
fantry would give the law.
Many great questions have been mooted this
session, and they have in general been decided
in favour of liberty. There is in a state but a
single mass of power. The question is, where
shall it be placed ? Complaints are constantly
made of the violation of the prerogative of the
Crown, and it is forgotten that the object of the
revolution was to assign very narrow limits to
this prerogative. It is further necessary that
the Crown should not have the right of making
laws without the consent of the Chamber, or at
least that it should be declared that on no subject
whatever, with the exception of appointments to
administrative offices and other employments, no
loyal ordinance shall continue in force except
in the interval between session and session, un-
less they are sanctioned by the authot ty of the
Chamber—that is, by being converted into laws.
he placards announcing the sale of the move-
able effects of the Castle of Malmaison, with the
names of Napoleon and the Empress Josephine,
gradually disappear from our walls. But few
years have passed since their deaths, and already
all that belonged to them is dispersed : the move-
ables of the most powerful sovereign of modern
times are sold to the best bidder, like those of
the humblest of his former subjects. Oh, eter-
nal divine justice ! And will this nation be in-
sensible to such lessons ?—Times.

STOCKHOLM, JULY 3.—lt is said that the
coronation of her Majesty the Queen will take place at
the end of August.

The paper-mill at Tumba, belonging to the
Bank, was lately destroyed by fire. The Bank k said to
lose double the sum of 38,000 dollars, for which it is en-
sured. It is said that the whole stock of paper intended
for the manufacture of new Bank-notes, was consumed.

Mr. THOMAS, the constable of St. Paul,
Covent-garden, has been appointed, by the Home Secre-
tary, one of the "Dis'rict Officers of Police," under the
new system which is shorty to be introduced.—Morning
Herald.

Besides that cf Deputy Clerk of the Peace,
the late Mr. ALLEN held the offices of Vestry Clerk of
St. Anne's, Westminster, and Cryer of the Westminster
Sessions.

The late Old Bailey Sessions was the shortest
ever known, the whole of the business having been com-
pleted in little more than three days.

A project of law, answering to our IVfesne
Process Bill, "ha's lately undergone much discussion in the
French Chamber of Peers, and owing to the length of
the debates respecting a variety of amendments proposed,
and the lateness of the season, it has not been sent down to
the Deputies. The delay which must now elapse with
regard to the passing of this law, appears to have created
some discontent among the mercantile classes of the French
capital, as the mere agitation of a question respecting
which so much uncertainty bad previously existed, was
calculated to excite a sensation among the trading commu-
nity. Meanwhile the French papers have published the
different provisions of this law,. which have received the
sanction of the Peers, and from which that of the Depu-
ties, it is presumed, will not be withheld next session.
They arc not of as mild a nature as those of the English
laws respecting arrest and insolvency, nor do they modify
the old French law to any very great extent. No arrest
is to take place for a suns under 200 franca, nor for any
amount when the debtor is beyond 72 years of age. The
term of imprisonment is fixed in the following manner:—
One year, for any stun from 200 to 500 francs; two
years from 500 to 1000 francs ; three years from 1000
to 3000 francs; and five years for every sum exceeding
5000 francs. A very material exception to these regula-
tions is made with regard to foreigners, for whom the
term of imprisonment for each of the amounts specified is
to be double of that which is applicable to natives. The
arresting creditors, however, continue hound to defray
the expense of supporting the imprisoned debtors, at the
former 4-it! of 30 francs .per, month. Their neglect to
comply with this regulation during a whole week, is suf.-
, &nem to procure the liberation of the debtor.

LONDON,
WEDNESDAY EVENING, JULY 22, 1829.

Despatches were received at the Foreign Office
this morning from Lord HEYTESBURY, our
Ambassador at St. Petersburgh.

The German Papers contain some few addi-
onal particulars respecting the taking of Silistria,

for which we refer our readers to their contents.
An article dated from the frontiers of Moldavia
states, that " in the interior of Russia the most

extensive preparations arc making for carrying
on the war:"—
BERLIN, JUNE 13.-In reference to the news of the
taking of Silistria, which n•e gave yesterday, we received
afterwards the following particulars sent from Warsaw on
the 10th instant :

" The place surrendered at the moment that the Rus-
sian troops were on the point of entering through the
breach. Two Pachas of three tails, 18,000 prisoners,
220 cannon, and SO pair of colour,, fell into the hands of
the victors."—(The Prussian State Gazette of the 15th
contains no further particulars.)
FRONTIERS OF MoLnavia, JUNE 20.--The reserve of
the Russian army are in motion, and in the interior of
Russia extensive preparations are making for the prosecu-
tion of the war. The guards remainfor the present at
Tulczyn, and are now being reviewed by the Emperor
and the Grand Dukes Constantine and Michael. We have
received no news from the theatre of war since the battle
of the llth. The sending of 51. Fonton on the 14th to
the camp of the Grand Vizier at Shunla, is said to have
had no other object than the conclusion of a short truce
to bury the dead. It is retorted that the Grand Vizier,
who was then at Shinnla, had intimated to M. Fonton
that it would be desirable to both parties to put an end to
the effusion of blood, on which ,the latter applied fur in-
structions to he able to make proposals for peace. We do
not know whether M. Fonton has remained in Sbumla to
wait for the answer from Constantinople, or whether he
has gone to that city. It must be observed, however, that
though the mission of M. Fonton is of great importance,
And his full powers may he extensive, his negociaainns will
scarcely lead to so favourable a result as many people expect,
for last year Gerivral Paskcivitsch, after every advantage

that he gained, made proposals to the Turkish Governor
in Eizerouni, which were never attended to by the Porte.
I- VIENNA, JULY 9.—Letters from Odessa are full of re.
ports of negociations for peace, and it is believed there that
hostilities will soon cease. In consequence of these letters,
our funds have risen considerably.
VIENNA, JULY 10. --Metalliques, 99 1- I 6 ; Bank
Shares, 1,1161.
FRONTIERS OF ITALY, JULY s.—According to the latest
accounts from Greece, received by way of Corfu, Athers
has icapitulated to the Greeks. It is believed in Greece
that the meeting of the National Assembly is deferred till
the negociations of the three powers with the Porte re-
; specting the future destinies of Greece shall be terminated.
There is no doubt that if the choice of a head for the New
State should be left to the Greek nation, it will fall on
Count Count Capo

The Gazette de France gives the bulletin
published by the Augsburgh Gazette, respecting
the taking of Silistria, which fully confirms our
idea of the paramount importance of the Rus-
sitin victory. Extracts will be found in another
column.

We have letters from Terceira this morning
to the 14th instant, brought by the Countess of
Liverpool, which arrived at Plymouth on Mon-
day. This vessel took out the Constitutional
officers from France, and succeeded in landing
them safely at Terceira, notwithstanding she was
chased by a part of the blockading squadron.
The garrison of Terceira were in the highest
Spirits, and confident of being able to repel any
attack. The arrival of the officers had caused
great satisfaction. On the Countess of Liver-
pool leaving Terceira for Plymouth, she was
again followed by some of the blockading vessels,
but without success.

For the last few weeks the Ultra• Tory Jour.
nals have been industriously circulating the mos
mischievous and malignant rumours on the sub,
ject of the present Administration. It cannot
stand, says one. It is on the very eve of disso-
lution says another. The Duke of WELLING-
TON, adds a third, is in the most pitiable plight

imaginable ; he feels that he cannot do wit!

out the Ultras, ar.d the Ultras will have nothing
to do with him, unless—mark the alternative—
he sacrifices Mr. PEEL to their vengeance ! In
addition to such absurd rumours, these persever-
ing scribes put forth every now and then a para-
graph, full of pomp and mystery, to the effect
that they are in possession of some im-
portant political intelligence, which in a day
or two they will be at liberty to communicate to
their readers. The day is accordingly fixed, it
arrives, it passes, not a word transpires on. the
subject of the momentous secret, and the Jour-
nalists have then no resource left, but either to

trust to the forgetfulness of their readers, or to
do that which so much afflicted King Pichro-
cole, write themselves down blockheads. Fal-
stqff, when similarly situated, had a much more
modest way of confessing his deficiencies ; " now
do I begin to think I look an exceeding ass,"
gays he, and our Ultra cotemporaries might say
the same thing with at least equal sincerity.
The fact is, the WELLINGTON administration
is at, firm as ever was Lord LIVERPOOL'S in
the (lays of its greatest popularity. True, it has

)cen beset with difficulties—true, it has had

prejudices to retnove—animosities to soften--
long-cherished opinions to grapple with and con-
trovert—but it has performed its task manfully,
has put forth all its Herculean energies, and is
now in the full enjoyment of its triumph. Were
it even otherwise, were it ricketty—embarrassed
—beset with treacherous friends and factious
Opponents, still with the country in its favour,
%vial the opinions of every honest man in the
three Kingdoms to second,
it, it could scarcely
fail in time to gain strength, substance, and
the materials of durability. But it is the
very conviction of its strength that has a o
hotly arrayed our Ultra cotemporaries against
*he . WELLINGTON Administration. This it
is that they can neither forget nor forgive.
All but this they can pardon. They see that at
present there is no hope for their patrons ; hence
they deduce the ruin of the country, and the
overthrow of the Government, in the same
temper, and with similar judgment, that the
Morning Journal, a few days since, deduced
the destruction of Great Britain, from the cir-
cumstance of its having seen an ,Irish potatoe
blush, and a Covent-garden strawberry in the
agonies of sickness.
