TO THE MEMBERS OF THE SENATE.

On the probable Vacancy in the Reprer=entarien of the
Univeisity, we, the underbigned, beg lrave to .uhinit to
the Members of the Senate the following considerations in
fr.vour of Mr. CAVENDISH

It can rarely happen that we should have an opportu-
nity of retuttling a Member so qualified in every way for
the Representation of the University. He has adorned
an hereditary connexion with science by his own em;nent
talents and attainments. During the whole of his resi-
dence among us, his conduct was accordine, to the ti-ue
spirit of our institutions. His situation and his disposi-
tion are such, that we feel confident that the fulfilling the
duties of such a station, and promoting the welfare of
science and literature, will form the main object of his
life, and that he will become closely identified with the
interests and feelings of the University.
We therefore beg leave to inform the Members of the
Senate, that on these grounds we intend to put Mr. Ca-
vendish in nomination on the day of Election, in the ear-
nest hope that the opinions we have now stated may be
then honoured by their approbation and support.

LONDON,
TUESDAY EVENLNG, JUNE 2, 1829.

The Hamburgh Reporter, and other Papers of the
29th of May, have been received, but they contain
no authentic news from the armies on the Danube.
The report, however, continues to gain ground that
the Russians have experienced a very severe check
near Silistria, and on tl►is subject the Hamburg's
Reporter of the 29th says, that the late protracted
silence in official quarters, where the successes of the
Russians against the Turks are always trumpeted
with hasty eagerness, tends to give great countenance
to the reports in circulatio►► of a defeat having been
suffered by the Russians, near Silistria. The fol-
lowing is the current version of the affair :—Count
DIEBITSCH had sent a strong detachment over the
Danube, near Hirsova, with a view to their advanc-
ing along the right bank of the river
:against
Silistria. KUTSIIUK ACIIMED PACHA, the Com-
mandant of Silistria, being informed of the move-
n►ent, determined on attacking the enemy. The
two corps met at Tchernovadi, where a sanguinary
action ensued, in which the Turks proved com-
pletely victorious, pursuing the Russians to the
Walls of Hirsova, and taking a number of prisoners.
Many of the Russians, it is added, were drowned in
recrossing the Danube. The Turks, it is also said,
have surprised and possessed themselves of Balezic,
situated between Varna and Kovarna; upon being
informed of which, General ROTH quitted Varna
with a detachment of 5,000 men, in hopes of dis-
lodging the enemy from the position they had oc-
cupied. In the neighbourhood of Giurdzevo also,
it would appear, some severe skirmishing has taken
place, the latest lettertsfrom Bucharest mentioning
the arrival of a convoy of 200 wounded.

German Papers of the 26th May, received this
morning, assert on the authority of accounts from the

Fronders of Moldavia, under date at the 11th May,
that no confirmation or contradiction of the reports
of a battle, near Silistria, had been received there.
But the breaking out of the plagae is placed beyond
doubt in Wallachia. If it be not the plague, it is
equally destructive. It is said also that symptoms
of contagion have been noticed in Dwailow. The
latest accounts from Jassy, of the I Ith May, still
atlirm that there have been sanguinary actions in
Bulgaria, and that General DIEBITSCH was present
at them. A letter from Bucharest of the same day,
on the contrary, expresses a deubt whether any
thing of importance has yet occurred. The accounts
from the Danube of the 20th May state, that
nothing particular was known there but vague report:.

Sir JoIIN KEANE, late Lieutenant-Governor of
Jamaica, bad a long conference this morning with
Sir GEORGE MURRAY, at the Colonial Office.

The Game Bill was last night lost in the House
of Lords by a majority of only troo-59 being for
the Bill, and 91 against it. This is really " too bad."

The question of Portugal and DON MIGUEL was
last night discussed in the House of Commons.—
We have no room for comment—and if we had,
%%hat could we say of DON MIGUEL ?-13ut Lord
PALMERSTON has done justice to his merits.

By the arrival of his Majesty's brig Plover we
have received a mail from Broil. The Emperor
Don PEDRO had convoked an Extraordinary Session
of the Climbers on the 28th of March, and on the
second of April addressed to them the following
speech, which is anything but encouraging after the
debate of last night :

Rio DS JANEIDO, M&acii 28.—T0-day each of the
Chambers had ita fir.t preimatory Sitting, in which the
usual forms were gone through.

APRIL 2.—Sp;ech of his Majesty the Emperor, on
opening the General Legislative Assembly, April 2,1829
" 1 have convoked this extraordinary assembly for two
reasons; the fi=st is, the unexpected news that foreign
troops of Portuguese emigrants would arrive here to seek
an asylum in this empire. The second is, the state of the
finances in general, and especially the regulation of the
Bank of Brazil, which bass not hitherto obtained from
this Assembly efficacious and salutary measures. The
first has ceased, the second exists, a,..d I must lament
that I am under the necessity of recommending
it for the fourth time to this Assembly. The
wretched state of the public tteasury is as clear as
day, and I am very sorry to foretell that if in this
extraordinary session, and in the course of the ordinary
session, this Assembly, in spite of repeated recom-
mendations, does not settle an affair of such impert-
once, the future fall which awaits us is very disastrous.
My Minister of Finance will lay before you in detail the
necessity and urgency of a prompt legislative measure,
which by destroying at a blow the principal rause of the
existing calamity, may ameliorate the unhappy circum-
stances of the Empire, and which, furnishing the Govern-
ment with the tndispensahle means to proceed with advan-
tage, may. not render the actual crisis still worse. He wig
lay before you a plan on thissuhject, and! hope you will take
iit nto due consideration. Tile importance of un affair in
which the nation has fixed its attention and its hopes makes
toe believe that the result will be as happy as all hood Bra-
zilitns must hope. The Session is opened.—The Consti-
tutional Emperor and Perpetual Defender of Brazil.
AiNIL 6.--Saturday the 4th being a grand drawing-
room, on account of the birth-day of her Most Faithful
Majesty Senhora Donna Maria IL, the eldest daughter of
his Majesty the Emperor, the Diplornotic Body went to
the Palace to pay their compliments to his Majesty; and a
great number of persons of distinction had the honour to
kiss his Majesty's hand. The day was celebrated, as
usual, by salutes from the forts, and men-of- war of ail
nations in the harhou'r.

- The French Papers arc entirely barren of any news
from the theatre of war. Viscount CHATBAUBRIAND
has arrived in Paris, but he is not expected to take
any place in the Ministry. The following paragraph
from the official organ of the French Government, is
the Ministerial reply to the reported conversation
between the KING and the Secretaries of the Cham-
ber of Deputies :
(From the Moniteur.)
Hitherto the Journals had felt the necessity of not itnpli-
eating in their controversies an august name and person.
One of them has thought fit to free itself from this con-
straint. It has reported, and others have copied from it, a
conversation which it pretends took place between the King
and the members of the bureau of the Chamber of Depu-
ties, whence it attempts to draw inferences contrary to the
independence of the Chamber. Sarre persons have seemed
surprised that no explanation has been given by the Go-
vernment of so serious an affair. These persons have not
reflected, that to mix the name of the King with such ex
plattations would be only adding an impropriety to that
which has already !icon committed. We know that the
very day after the appearance of the article in question, the
bureau of the Chamber contradicted formally, by a decla-
ration signed by each of its members, the completely dis-
torted statement, to support which its testimony seemed to
be appealed to; but we readily conceive that the Govern-
ment, while doing justice to the sentiment which dictated
this declaration, has thought it useless and contrary to the
dignity of the throne to make it public."

CIT Y, TtriarK e' CLOCK.

The Consul market opened this morning at the same
price it left off at yesterday, 88k -135- for account, and
881 i for money, with little business. The only arrival
of consequence this morning is the Brazil Mail, brought
by his Maj,sty's ship Plover, which left Rio Janeiro ith
April, awl by which conveyance we have received his Bra-
zilian Majesty's speech on the opening of the Assembly on
the let April, stating that he has received information of
foreign troops and of emigrated Portuguese being on their
way to the Brazils, where they will find an asylum. He
recommends the attention of the Bank of the Brazils to the
Assembly ; he also states that the Treasury has been re-
duced to a miserable state, and if not soon remedied, nothing
hut disasters will take place. We have also received a
private letter from Rio Janeiro of the Bth April, stating,
that in consequence of the ,'lever financial plans of Caltritm,
the Exchange; which hid fallen to 20, had got up to
23 ; and the Funds, which went down to 61, got up
again to 64}; all was tranquil there.
In the Foreign Market a considerable depression took
place in Portuguese Bonds, which went down 2 per cent.
in consequence of Ministers' determination not to assist the
young Queen of Portugal, who will now be obliged to re-
turn to her native country, since which a re-action has
taken place in the above Bonds, and they are I per cent.
better, being 13-A-; in other Foreign 'securities little or
nothing doing.

RECRIVAD ET THE VItENCII MAIL THIS MORNING.

AFFAIRS OF TOE EA ST --The grand operations of the
Russian army have commenced. A concentrated move-
ment on two points is taking place in Silistria and Ruts-
clink, and at all hazirds they must be in po•session of the
Russians before the grand army can operate before Shumla,
and extend itself on Btegiria, and from thence into Ro-
melia. A corp cl'armee is to invade Servia andinameuvre
in the direction of Romelia, inclining itself towards Ni.s4;
a third corps is to operate with the fleet in the Black Sea,
to turn the Balkan.
