PUBLIC IF.ALTH.

DUBLIN, AUG. 25.—A Meeting of the • Pbvsi.
clans of Dublin having been convened by public
aitvertiseinent Thorstlay last, for the purpose
of receiving a Report from a Special Committee
of their body; appointed in March, " to watch
the further progress of the Epidemic," we have
been anxious lo receive an account of the, pro-
ceedings Which took place ou the laudable occa-
don. As yet; however, we have been able only
to learn, that at this Meeting (which was veil
numerously .attended). a Report was presented,
giving a distinct view of the progress and extent
of the Epidemic, and proclaiming the totalfallure of
the measures hit' erto'ailopted for itsiuppression.
We have also heard, that, the Meeting did-, 'after
some discussion, resolve that the Report, toge-
ther with the doctiMents to which" it refers, should.
,he published; but %%by they have not yet bees
communicated to the public papers we knoll:, not.
If the Report at all merits the character that has
been given of it, its ithloortance obvionsiy de7
•ntands immediate publicity; It has been wills.
,fretted that the Report exhibits such an 01,arming
view of the extent and progress of the epidemic,
that some of the Protession'were reluctant, with-
out` legal advice, to give publicity to the docu-
ment ; but the majority deecitled,. we-,understand,
for publication, under a convicti,n that, the state-
ments contained iuthe Report wet.e riot libellous,
and that the public welfare requited that sitch,
.truths should not be.coneealed.

We received this morning the Paris Papers of
Wednesday last. The following are extracts :
" PARIS, AUG. 26.—Yesterday, at l I o'clock,
the Ambassadors, the Foreign Ministers, &c.
paid their respects to the King and Royal Family
on the occasion of the Fite of Saint Louis.
They afterwards assisted at the inauguration
of the Statue of Henry the Fourth. At twelve
his Majesty left the Thuilleries to review the
troops. Soon after two the King artived on
the platform elected opposite the statue of Henry
Fourth. Au immense crowd of persons of all
ranks were present. His Majesty being seated
on a Throne, surrounded by the Princes, Prin-
cesses, &c. the Statue was uncovered• amidst
salvoes of artillery, and the Committee hay-
log ranged themselves opposite the Throne, the
Marquis Barbs de Marbois delivered an address
appropriate to the occasion, to which the King
returned a most gracious answer. The troops de-
filed between the King and the Statue, after
which his Majesty returned to the Thuilleries.
" In consequence of the advices front Algiers,
stating the ❑►ild conduct of the new Dey (already
made known) and the dismantling the pirate
vessels, the Anti-pirate Institution is about to
cease its labours:

" The Count Corvetto is entirely recovered,
but he must remain some time longer in the

Country.
" Yesterday morning, at nine o'clock, the
Municipal Body of Paris assembled at the hotel
of the Prefect of the Seine, to inaugurate the
portrait of the King, painted by Robert Lefevre,
and presented by the King to his good City of
Paris.

" Accounts from Ghent, dated the 22:1 inst.,
say—' Their Royal- Highnesses the Duke and
Duchess of Cambridge arrived hele yesterday

evening from Calais with a numerous suite.'
" VIENNA, AUG. 16.—The day before yester-
day a foreigner, who had recently arrived at
Baden (near this city), was arrested and con-
veyed to the Town-house, where he underwent an
interrogatory. He is said to be a Pole of dis-
tiiiction, who has been arrested at the instance of
the Russian Minister.

" FRANKFURT, AUG. 18.—Prince Blucher con-
tinues ill at Carlsbad, and unable to quit his

apartments.

" ZURICH', AUG. 17.—The Directorial Govern-
ment has comtnunicatcd by circular to the re-
spective Cantons that Mr. Canning, the British
:Minister, had made known that his Royal High-
ness the Duke of Gloucester will visit Switzerland
during the autumn."

We have inserted this day the whole of The
Supplementary Gazette, which wes published last
night. It gives a detailed account of those mili-
tary operations in India, which have been attend-
e,! with such important advantages, as we before
stated, and which reflect so much honour on the
Governor-General and all the Officers who hlve
been concerned in the several gallant enterprizes.
We refer our Readers to The Gazette itself, as it
renders all comments arid eulogiums on our part
wholly superfluous ; and we have only to ex-
press our hopes that the valour of our Arms, and
the (V iC(10111 this t marks our Asiatic Government,
y be attended with the full restoration of peace
and security.

The Resolution of the General Assembly of
Krntilcky, in favour of the South Americßn Re-
volters, which we, insert this day, is an event

tbf the greAt est importance to their cause, for it
it should be followed by similar Resolutions

►leroughout the United St3tel., they will of course
he sopri.ed wish evrry thing necessary for re!,ist-
ance, and the ;Mother Country 001st soon give up

the contest.

Tilt? FUNDF..—The state of the Money Market
has bdtome truly.. alarming. The unfavourable
reports of *1 difference existing between the Mini-
sters and the Bank of England, respecting the
latter refusing to take the Exchequer .I.3iHs, and
that an equipment of 10 frigates was expeliting,
had the effect of depressing the Funds full 1 per
cent. ; Coni,ols for the Account opened this
morning at 74, but advanced to 74.1, with an ap-
pearance of a very heavy market. The Jews,
who were considered principally Bulls, have all
been selling tins morning to an immense amount,
and the panic has also extended to the Public
generally.

It would be very bard indeed that Ministers
should he blamed for the errors of their advocates,
and the case would be still harder if the blame did
not come from The Morning Chronicle, which;'
luckily, is so well known for its rancour against
Government that its censure is treated by the
public at large with indifference, if not contempt.
It appears, according to the statement in The
Chronicle, that an Evening Paper, which has
hitherto been stiled Ministerial, in defending the
appointment of the Commissioners to effect the
purposes of Mr. BROUGHAM'S Act, had urged,
that one ground for the selection of those Com-
missioners was, " their hostility to the Bill—and
their determination to disbelieve in the existence
of abuses." We appeal to the common sense of
mankind whether, having the eyes of the Nation
'Ton them, Ministers would have selected the
Commissioners on the alleged grounds, or whether,
having done so, they would be so impolitic as to
desire any' of their supposed advocates to
defend the appointment on those grounds.—
The idea involves the grossest folly, and we
therefore are inclined to suspect that The
Chronicle, which cannot possibly believe that
Ministers could have dictated such a mode of
defence, is insidiously attempting to injure the
Evening Paper' in question, either in sheaving,
by the indiscreet manner in which it supports the
measures of Government, that it is wholly unfit
to be its advocate, or that in reality it has nopre-
tensions to be considered as a Ministerial Paper,
since it. is absolutely impossible that Ministers
could have suggested such grounds of vindication.
But we have the satisfaction to state that, instead
of requiring defence, Ministers dzserve the
approbation of the Country, for the choice which
they have made of the Commissioners in question.
We had the pleasure to submit a list of them to
our Readers this day se'nnight, and we then
confidently asked " if a more respectable body of
Commissioners could be found th rolloout the
Empire." We defy the malice of Faction to urge
any thing against one individual of this list, and
we are persuaded that when the public reflect upon
the character of each, they will readily acknow-
ledge that Ministers could have no other purpose
in view than the appointment of such honourable.
Persons as were fully qualified to make the re-
quisite inquiries with vigilance, and to report the
result with the most scrupulous fidelity.

KEW, AUG. 28.—Yesterday evening the PRINCE
REGENT arrived from the Stud-house, and after
staying some tirne with the QUEEN returned to
the Stud-house. Sir FRANCAS MILMAN left this
morning, and returned in the afternoon.
Tu. QUEEN.—The above paragraph was the
only account the Court Circular of last night con-
tained respecting the QUEIsN, no Report of the

A Cabinet Council was held yesterday at the
Foreign Office, which was attended by the Earl

Tuesday a Deputation of several Gentlemen
from the Corporation of the City of London pro-
ceeded t►o Kew, where they ws•aited ,on General
TAYLOR, for the purpoe of offering the City
State Barge to convey her MAJESTY to Windsor,
they having understood from the public papers
that her MAJESTY expressed a wish to be conveyed
thither by water; Thursday an answer was re-
ceived at Guildhall from General TAYLOR, con.-
veying her MAJESTY'S most gracious thanks for
the offer, and informing them at the same time,
that her MAJESTY had never expressed such an in-
tention.
