GEEVA TO MOUNT ALLEN COLLIERY ROAD.

In the adjoining mountain of Bralieve a road
through the collieries, to connect the old roads of
the Roscommon side with those of Sligo, has been
opened some time; it is now in need of repair. An
intermediate portion of old county-road in Ros-
common would also require improvement, and I have
expected the proprietors would get this done by the
county. I have also made a line from the high level
of the coal-road aforesaid, across several deep dingles
to the plain between the Arigna and the Shannon,
to connect these with the Leitrim county-road, and
give access to the Shannon navigation. The opening
of this road was delayed in consequence of disputes
with the occupiers, but this difficulty is now removed,
with an exception, which I hope to settle as soon as
I can visit the place. This road will not only be of
great service to the Arigna Iron Company and the
coal-owners, but has already produced an extensive
agricultural improvement, especially at the north end
of the hills, by the introduction of lime, &c. &c.

NORTH EAST DIVISION.

I have already stated the reasons for suspending
operations in this quarter. During the last season
little has been done, excepting some portions of work
which were proceeding by contract ; I shall however
give a brief statement of their present condition.

DRUMAHAIR AND CETTINAVEENY COLLIERY ROAD.

This road runs along the coal-field near the sum-
mit of Corslieve Mountain, county of Leitrim; it
was laid out so as to serve, if necessary, as a rail-
road, and descends gently to Lough Gill, which is
navigable into Sligo. The portion through Cettina-
naveeny and Tullynaha Coal-pits, at the southward,
has been made available to the Irish Mining Com-
pany these three years past, thence for six miles it is
a narrow road, and all the materials are ready pre-
pared for spreading, excepting at the glens where
the excavation has been reserved for filling the
bridges. From hence to the Bonnet River, eight
miles, are formed and fenced, and nearly all the mate-
rials are laid on ready for spreading, part of which
is done; very few of the bridges are made; the por-
tion from Drumahair to the Lake has been some
time, and would now require some repair.
Although little of this line is yet available, it is
surprising to see what an improvement it has excited
in that mountain district; numerous houses are rising
along the road, and tillage finding its way to the
summit of the hill; if finished it would be of infinite
service, as limestone could be then easily procured
by the return-carts sent to Sligo with produce.

THE COUNTY ROADS.

Of the improved County Roads proceeding by
loans from Government, in which I act as an over-
seer, that in Leitrim has proceeded slowly, but is
now likely to be resumed with more vigour
since a further advance has been obtained. That
from Elphin, or Shankil to Boyle, has also made
great progress, but the mail-coach-line from French
Park to the canal to Tarmonbary, has been a sub-
ject of great disappointment.
This line was presented by the Grand Jury of
Roscommon in 1827. On finding the Commis-
sioners in Dublin bad no disposable funds, an appli-
cation was made to the Commissioners of Exchequer
bills in London, and as they had scruples about their
power of lending on a grand jury presentment, an
Act of last session provided for the application of a
portion of their funds to that purpose, which has
been transferred to the Commissioners for the issue
of money in Ireland ; these gentlemen conceived a
new presentment to be necessary for this purpose,
which was lost by a vote in the grand jury last
spring; and although this was corrected by an
unanimous vote at summer assizes, they found the
money above mentioned had by that time been all
appropriated; in the mean time the treasurer has
been levying the respective instalments, and a con-
siderable sum is now at the disposal of the grand
jury, but which (until they have some assurance
of being able to borrow the remainder) they cannot
venture to apply. The completing of this road is
really a national object; for, independent of its
facilitating the intercourse across the province, its
connection with the Royal Canal would tend
powerfully to the promotion of agriculture.
I beg leave to append to this Report a note of the

revenue derivable in Clifden, and the two new
villages rising on the west of Conamara, than which
nothing can more completely prove the good effects
of the public aid, which has within these few years
been applied in that quarter; before 1822 it cer-
t,tifily paid nothing whatever in the way of revenue;
bid the improvement in trade is manifest in all the
West of Ireland since 1822. I know, for one item,
that the Customs receipt of the port of Galway have
doubled since that time.

I also annex the general abstract of expenditure
and receipt in 1828,
And have the honour to be, my Lord,
Your Lordship's obedient servant,
ALEXANDER MMMO.

THE KING V. J. WHEELER.

A rule nisi had on a former day been obtained by
Mr. Campbell, for an attachment against the de-
fendant for his contempt in not attending as a wit-
ness on the trial of a cause of " Saunderson v.
Bond," at Guildhall, on the 10th of June last, pur-
suant to a subpoena ad testcandum.
Mr. PLATT now showed cause against the rule.—
Rule absolute.

THE KING V. JAMES AND WIFE.

The defendants, George James and Ann his wife,
came up to receive the judgment of the Court upon
a conviction for keeping a house of ill-fame, at
No. 21, Frith-street, Soho.
Mr. Justice BAYLEY said the sentence of the
Court upon him (the husband) was, that he be im-
prisoned three months in the House of Correction,
Coldbath-fields, and enter into recognizances for his
good behaviour for two years, himself in 201. and
two sufficient sureties in 10/. each. The Court
would forbear passing sentence on his wife on his
entering into a recognizance for her appearance on
the fourth day of next term. The defendant then
entered into the recognizance, and the wife was dis•
charged.

ROAD FROM WESTPORT TO KILLERY.

This road, which forms the only carriage-line be-
tween the towns of Mayo and the districts of Mo-
risk, Joyce Country, and Conamara, is now made
passable by closing the bridge of Errive, though the
parapets are not yet laid. A variety of improve-
ments have been made in the western part of the
old county-road which this joins, and the eastern
next Westport would require material alteration ;
the people along that line now making extensive use
of carts to carry in turf and produce to Westport,
and return with limestone, feel that even the best
parts of their old bridle-roads are a serious obstacle
to their business. I have had surveys made of this
part, with a view to its improvement, to Castlebar
and Ballinrobe, and may possibly obtain aid from
the Grand Jury for the purpose.

THE KING V. TAYLOR.

Mr. COLERIDGE applied to have the rule in this
case, for a criminal information, enlarged until the
next term.

Mr. CAMPBELL said it appeared that the defend-
ant had shown great reluctance to be served with
the rule, and there was some reason to believe that
this application was made merely for the purpose of
delay.
Lord TENTERDEN thought that the rule might be
enlarged, as there was no reason to apprehend that
a breach of the peace would take place in the mean
time.—Rule enlarged.

TIIE KING V. R. WELSH.

formation in the nature of a quo warranto against
Mr. Robert Welsh, one of the capital burgesses of
Wells.—Rule refused.

THE KING V. T. S. DAY, ESQ.
Mr. CAMPBELL moved for a rule for leave to file
a quo warranto information against Mr. Day, for ex-
ercising the offices of Alderman and Justice of the
Peace of the town and city of Norwich, he having
been appointed to, accepted, and acted in, the in-
compatible office of Inspector of Corn Returns.—
Rule nisi granted.

ROAD TO KILKERRAN BAY.

From the middle of last-mentioned, at the head of
the lake, a new road passes across the river, and into
the centre of the Conamara district, to Kilkerran
Bay, to join the line of coast-road. This forms the
main opening into the plains of Mayo, and also from
the south of Conamara to Westport. From the
head of the lake to the central Conamara road at
Shendela, this line has been opened two years. It
has this season received an additional gravelling. A
substantial bridge has been built on the Tiernakill
river. The large arch at the head of Lough Corrib
is just completed, and preparations are making for
turning the river this summer; this has been a work
of some risk and difficulty, the river being twenty
feet deep at lowest water, and the bog forty, or fifteen
feet below low water of the sea. From this place
the lake is navigable to Galway thirty miles, and
from its central position at the junction of several of
the new lines; and besides some of our heaviest
works, I found it the most convenient site for our
principal office, store, and workshops, in that quarter,
the want of accommodation for which had in several
instances subjected us to much inconvenience, loss,
and expense.
Not deeming myself authorized to construct any
permanent buildings at the public expense, and having
in other places experienced the inconvenience of want
of tenure, I thought it most advisable to take a de-
mise of this place for thirty years from the proprietor,
and construct the requisite accommodations at my
own cost and risk, so as to make them convertible
into a small inn, much wanted in that country when
the roads shall be opened. By this meaes I get rid
of any interruptions, or claim for damages from the
occupiers, which threatened to be enormous at this
bridge, and charge only a small rent for what is in
the occupation of the Government. This is likely
to be a great thoroughfare; it is already much fre-
quented by foot and horsemen, even with the incon-
venience of crossing the river.
The portion of the line south of the central road
to Commas, or head of Kilkerran Bay, has been
mostly formed and fenced, and part gravelled this
season.
London, England, 1829-07-09

KILLALA TO SWINEFORD.

From Killala to Ballina, Foxford, and Swineford,
an excellent new road of thirty feet wide, made with
stone, was opened and delivered to the care of the
commissioners for repairing those roads two years
ago. lam sorry to find that the plan of repair
adopted, viz. by a contract, at so much per lineal
perch, is not likely to be attended with public ad-
vantage; the contract, though taken at a low price,
has been sub-let still lower, and, as might naturally
be expected, this most important line is getting into
disorder, and its stock of materials rapidly diminishing.
I have not been able to get at the particulars of
the increase of trade in Ballina and Killala since the
opening of this line, but all accounts agree that it
has been very great, and must have been attended
with a proportional increase of agriculture in the in-
terior; the great extension of buildings, especially at
Swineford and Ballina, are a manifest proof of the
importance of this communication.

ROAD THROUGH COOLCARNEY, AND FROM CLARE TO

HOLLYMOUNT.

These roads stand over for the reasons before
stated; the portions of road executed between Clare
and Westport, and between Ballinrobe and Holly-
mouut, have been kept in repair, and are consider-
able thoroughfares; the extension of these lines is
anxiously desired.

NEWPORT INTO ACHIL ISLAND.

This road is completed as far as the sound, though
the portion of old country road next Newport would
require considerable amendment. I had suspended
the part within the island, though very near comple-
tion, except so far as to complete a path for horses
into the centre of the island; but it is painful to see
the poor people carrying their corn on men and
women's backs over cliffs of 1,500 feet high, and
along a wild track of mountain, bog, and strand, to
get at the line which has thus been opened; and I
know no part of my district which would sooner
rise into consequence than this, if once laid open by
roads.

QUEEN-SQUA RE.

Yesterday, amongst the &orderlies from St,
George's watch-house, Pimlico, the Rev. Andrew
Mayor, A.M., living in Leader-street, Chelsea, was
placed at the bar, before Mr. WHITE, charged with
being drunk in the public street.
George Young, a watchman, between ten and
eleven o'clock the previous evening, was going his
rounds, when he found the defendant at the top of
Eaton-street, Pimlico, lying on the pavement, and a
crowd of persons surrounding him. He was so
drunk that he was unable to stand or walk without
assistance, and he therefore took him to the watch-
house. The gentleman hal a blue bag with him,
which contained a bottle of rum, an empty decanter,
and four pair of candlesticks.

Mr. WHITE asked the reverend gentleman what
he had to say to the charge.—Mr. Mayer replied
that he had never drank spirits, but was a w ater
drinker, and his situation was not from the effects of
ardent spirits, but from taking Laudanum, which had
Overcome him.

Mr. WHITE lamented to see a gentleman of his
sacred profession in such a disgraceful state, whe-
ther from spirits or any other intoxicating liquid.
Mr. Mayor again assured the Magistrate that he
was a water drinker.

Mr. WHITE observed that the charge against him
was clearly proved, and he must pay the usual fine of
tis. for being drunk.

The Rer—. Divine then paid the money, and left
the office.

AMERICAN METIIOD OF CARVING.—The
following scenes occurred at the Military Seminary at
West point While we were talking in the court-yard
dinner was announced ; and, the professor begging us to
walk with him, we entered the great hall together. The
principal body of the young men, assembled on the exer-
cising ground, were marched to dinner, to the slund of
drum and fife, in very good order. About a dozen stu-
dents, however, were first admitted as carvers, and I
stool in perfect astonishment at the scene which ensued.
In all countries, old as well as new, gentlemen, to their
shame be it said, carve abominably ill ; but I had no ex-
pectation of seeing any thing so primitive as what now
took place, The meat was literally hacked and torn to
pieces. In a few minutes afterwards, at a given signal,
the other students entered, and there commenced such an
exhibition of feeding—ur devouring, I may call it—as
would have excited the admiration of a cormorant, Some
of the youths were spooning great lumps of meat down
their throats with their knives, while others helped them-
selves, two or three at a time, with their knives and forks,
from the same dish ! I never saw anything so disagree-
Travels.

THE GENERAL POST-OFFICE.

Our readers at Portsmouth, we regret to Kay it, have too
just cause to complain of he miscarriage of their Papers,
but the fault rests entirely with the General Post-office,
London. Some two or three months ago a parcel of
Papers, for the same destination, missed twice in one
week, and although complaint was made to the
proper quarter, no notice has been taken of it to this
hour ! The mistake, or misfortune, or whatever name
will best express it, was the more serious, as the Papers
on the two former occasions contained matter of great
interest It is remarked among Newsmen, that on
almost all occasions wl.en a matter of extraor-
dinary importance app,ars in the Papers, several
of them miscarry. What inference are we to
draw from this ? The mischief is doubly grievous,
from the disappointment it occasions to the one party
and the loss to the other. But so it is—and more's the
pity. The subordinate departments in the Post-office
may be admirably conducted, hut we think they will
bear improvement in this respect, and the sooner the
better.

HOUSE FALLING IN THE STRAND.

This day, at two o'clock, Mr. Sparkes, linen-draper,
of No. 3, Southampton-street, Covent- garden, received
information from a neighbour that his house, which was
situate at the lower end of the street, and being the end
one was strongly shored up, was falling, he immediately
began removing his stock into his back premises, and him-
self and a'sistauts were working at it till the upper part of
the house gradually separated from the next one, and pre-
sented a cleft of at least a foot wide ; the Louse was then
very properly abandoned. By this time (a quarter past
two) the crowd collected to witness the circumstance
was so dense as to block up the passage, and about thirty
shops on the opposite side of the Strand were obliged to
be closed for safety. The greatest anxiety prevailed, as
for the space of ten minutes the bending wall kept crumb-
ling and dropping a few bricks at a time. At length,
after two or three rockings and bendiugs, the upper part
of the back of the house loosened and fell. Scarcely had the
dust cleared up, when a stack of chimnies also parted, and
came to the ground. The whole top of the building now tot-
tered; the part supported by the spars bent in, and the upper
floor presented an angle of 45 degrees. At last, after va-
rious crunablings anal crackings, for ten minutes more, the
whole of the upper, and the half of the two next floors,
broke away from the main bulk with a dreadful crash. In
a moment the most dense clouds of dust coveted the neigh-
bourhood. The noise equalled thunder ; and the ci owd
assembled round the spot scampered off with as much celerity
as if the whole neighbourhood was falling. Every one
considered himself stifled at least, aud many did not cease
running till they passed Exeter Change, which being also
pulling down was looked upon with considerable suspicion.
Of course, in the confusion, many accidents occurred and
some of the crowd (found by mistake) their hands in the
pockets of others. A strong body of police were, how-
ever, quickly on the spot, and restored something like order.
The house presented a perfect section of the first and
second floors ; the economy of the furniture in the re-
►naining parts of the rooms was hardly disturbed although
all the furniture that fell was, of course, destroyed, and
that remaining must follow its fate, as no one will, pro-
bably, risk an attempt to recover it. The next house,
No. 4, will probably folloAtio remaining.' part of No. 3,
as it is terribly bent, with the' top hanging over. Mrs.
Sparks' father was dressing at the toli.of the house at the
first crack, and had a narrow escape. We understand that
no notice to shore up had been received by Mr. Ss,arks, but
Mr. Gilbert, for the Commissioners of Woods anal Forests.
had propped it up, though ineffectually. We did not hear
of any serious accident, but the loss of property must have
been great. The prigs were with difficulty kept from the
mills, even under the failing house.

(From the Messager des Charnbres of July 25.)
THE STATES OF SOUTH AMERICA.

PARIS, JULY 27.—We have often called the at-
tention of our readers to the! present situation of
South America: the news which we receive from
that country is not satisfactory to the friends of
peace and order. It is nut for us to decide on the
principle of the great question of the mother coun-
try and its powerful colonies. The developements
of civilization and the fate of arms have perhaps for
ever derided it. It is enough for us to confirm the
state of disorder and trouble which the well under-
stood interest of the new republics ought to put an
end to. Of what avail are these internal dissen-
sions,—this really alarming situation ? These who
would revive the cause of the mother country must
be pleased with this turbulence of parties and this
war between states, which cannot he great and
strong in the eyes of the European Powers except
by their pacific attitude and sentiments. These
r flections arise involuntarily on reading the accounts
from Colombia and Peru, just published by the Eng-
lish journals. We are really afflicted at seeing these
rich provinces tear each other to pieces, and lose in
their odious rivalry the elements of their prosperity.
Undoubtedly we are not among the number of those
who seek for arguments against American inde-
pendence in the comparison between the riches of
Spanish America a century ago, and its actual po-
verty. The causes of public wealth have changed.
The situation of America at the two periods cannot
therefore authorize any conclusion unfavourable to
its emancipation, and, at all events the example of
the United States might be quoted, which certainly
have not beeome impoverished by the political
change which they have undergone.
The colonial system cannot be applied to im-
mense continents. In proportion as civilization
proceeds, ideas of liberty spring up, and when a po-
pulation as numerous as that of the mother country
has reached such a degree of knowledge as to ask
why it should remain subject to another country, it
is difficult to maintain this state of things. To esta-
blish and consolidate a colonial system. it is neces-
snry that the colonies should have need of the
mother country. Thus, without giving an opinion
respecting the Spanish expedition, we de-ire that a
state of union and peace may protect the actual exist-
ence of the American continent.

,It seems that the sum of 175,000,000 of francs,
which has been offered to the Spanish Government
for the conquest of Mexico, would be produced by
a loan, to be made by the ancient possessors of that
country, who have been expelled from it.
His Majesty the King of Sardinia landed at
Genoa on the 19th July, on his return from Naples.
This happy event was celebrated by brilliant fetes,
and tints all the reports of the transfer of the king-
dom fall to the ground, which the Journals had
thought fit to spread before the King embarked on
his voyage.

THE " OMNIBUS."

The Paddington stage-coachmen, who heretofore
were proverbial for their rudeness and ruffianism, are
now being rapidly metamorphosed into civil and at-
tentive personages. This miracle is being wrought
by the introduction of a long four-wheeled carriage,
called the " Omnibus," to run on that road. So
successful has the introduCtion been (the genteelest
people riding in them, for the sake of civility and
safety, as well as the reduced fares), that the pro-
prietor has been obliged to have additional carriages :
he 110 W runs one every hour between Paddington
and the Bank. Many persons have formed them-
selves into parties, engaging, amongst themselvett,4o
support that enterprise, which, when the notorious
character of the Paddington coach concerns is re-
membered, was really hazardous in almost every
riGint of view. The fares of the Omnibus are Is. for
the whole distance, and 6d. for half-way. The coach
fare is Is. 6d.; but Is. is not now refused—nor
politeness into the bargain. The seats in the
Omnibus are on each side; so that the passengers
ride sideways towards the horses, and windows and
curtains all round ; and though there are now so
many of them on the road, they are constantly filled,
and proceed at a regular pace, never driving
furiously. They are likely to effect, with Padding-
ton whips and cads, What Magistrates have vainly
attempted—so useful are competition and a little
adversity.

Lord TENTERDEN stated, in aUswer to an applica-

COURT OF KING'S BENCH.

Sir J. SCARLETT took the usual oaths for his
office, as Attorney-General.

CRIMINAL INFORMATION.-EX-PARTE PATON.

Mr. HOLT moved for a rule nisi for a criminal in-
formation against Mr. Benjamin Wilson, and other
Commissioners of the Court of Requests of Bridge-
north, on the part of a poor man named Paton.' The
latter had been in 1127 discharged under the Insol-
vent Debtors' Court. A creditor, named Parkinson,
afterwards summoned him for a debt of 24 12s. 6d.
which had been included in his schedule. The in-
solvent offered regular proof that he had taken the
benefit of the Act, but the Commissioners thought
proper to decide against him, and an execution was
sued out against him.

Mr. Justice BAILEY said that a criminal informa-
tion could not issue, unless it could be shown that
the Commissioners had acted from corrupt motives,
which was not the case here.

Mr. Hour then regretted that the poor applicant
had no remedy unless the Court granted the rule.
The COURT held that if the Commissioners were
liable to a criminal information, they would be also
liable to an indictment. —Rule refused.
London, England, 1829-07-07

RUSINESS OF THE COURT.

Mr. Justice BAYLEY intimated to the bar, that the
three Judges who would sit in the Bail Court after
term, proposed on the first three days of their
sittings to take " old country new trials ;" and
afterwards, if there should be time, to proceed with
the new cases. They would afterwards proceed
upon the special paper.

MARLBOROU GH-STREET:

Yesterday a dirty-looking fellow, who gave his
name Thomas Davis, was brought from the watch-

house of-st. Giles s parish, before Sir G. FARRANT,
the sitting magistrate, charged with the following
atrocious robbery :--
A decent elderly female, named Joyce, the wife of
a tradesman, stated that on Smithy morning last
she went to attend early prayers at the Roman Ca-
tholic chapel in Duke-street, Lincoln's-inn-fields,
belonging to the Sardinian Embas-:y ; and while on
her knees in prayer, she perceived some person's
hand under her dress, evidently feeling for her pocket,
which however, happening to be placed considerably
more in front than those conveniencies generally
are worn, it was not readily accessible to a strange
hand. On turtling round to see who it was that
thus took the liberty of fumbling about her dress,
she observed the prisoner, who knelt close by
her side, and seemed at the time in earnest
prayer, cautiously withdrawing his hand from her
pocket-hole, but as she was satisfied that he had
not succeeded in getting at the pocket itself, she
affected at the time not to notice him ; still, how-
ever, keeping her eye upon him until she saw him
in a few minutes make a similar attack upon the
pocket of a Mrs. Hennesey, who was kneeling on
the other side of him ; and Mrs. Hennesey's pocket
being, it appeared, of lese difficult access, the pri-
soner succeeded in abstracting its contents without
in the least degree disturbing the devotions of its
owner. Witness, however, on seeing the prisoner
draw his hand with something in it from Mrs. Hen-
nesey's pocket-hole, asked Mrs. Hennesey if she had
any money in her pocket, and on her answering in
the affirmative, witness told her that she had been
robbed of it, and at the same time seized the pri-
soner by the collar, as did also Mrs. Hennesey, and
held him until the beadle of the chapel, on hearing
the disturbance, came up, and took the prisoner into
his charge.

The lieadle said, that on taking charge of the pri-
soner, he found in his hand the purse now produced,
with 4s. 6d. in silver in it, and on searching him
further he found in' one of his pockets a sovereign
and six half-crown pieces, and in another pocket he
found a second purse, which-he produced; in which
was a half-sovereign.
Mrs. Hennesey said, that the pursefpund in the
prisoner's hand, with 4s. 6d. in it, belonged to her,
but when she entered the chapel she had in the
purse, besides the 4s. 6d., a sovereign and six half-
crown pieces. She did not, she said, perceive that
Hany attempt was made to pick her pocket, until Mrs.
! Joyce gave the alarm.
Another female, named Donnelly, said, that the
second purse found upon the prisoner, with the half
sovereign in it, belonged to her, and was safe in her
pocket when she entered the chapel. She did not,
she said, miss it,or suspect that she had been robbed
until the alarm was given about the spot where she
was kneeling, which was also close to the prisoner.
The prisoner said that he had nothing to urge in
his defence, and was fully committed for trial.

THE KING V. JOHN BEACH AND JOHN DAVY.

Mr. BoLLAND moved the judgment of the Court
against the above defendants, who were convicted
of a nuisance, in having thrown the soil dug from
St. Katharine's Dock into the Thames at Chelsea-
reach, instead of landing it at Mil!bank, as they had
contracted to do.

The COURT suspended jiulgrnent on the defen-
dants' undertaking to remove the soil which they
had so deposited, and desist from the nuisance in
future.

lIARRATT AND OTHERS V. WISE AND ANOTHER.

Lord TENTERDEN delivered the opinion of the
Court in this case, which was argued a few days ago
on a rule nisi for a new trial. The action was on a
policy of insurance on goods by the ship Ann,
valued at 953.51., effected with the South Devon In-
surance Company, of which the defendants were
Directors. The risk insured against was at and from
Liverpool to Buenos Ayres. The loss was alleged
to have taken place by capture.
The COURT said, the rule for setting aside the
verdict must be discharged.—Rule discharged ac-
cordingly.

FRENCH PAPERS.
(From the Gazette de France, dated Sunday.)

JASSY, JUNE I6.—After the affair of the 1 Ith of
June, the result of which ensures the undisturbed
continuance of the operations against Silistria, Gen.
Diebitsch is said to have returned with his victorious
troops to hasten the fall of that important place;
and General Roth seems to have posted himself in
advance of Kosludji, where his corps covers the
communications of that besieging Silistria with
Varna and Sizeboli. Other accounts say, that Gen.
Diebitsch has pursued the Grand Vizier into the
mountains, and that lie is endeavouring to prevent
the remains of the Turkish army from returning to
Shumla, by occupying the roads, so that its dissolu-
tion would thus be inevitable.
There is a great deal of bustle among the Guards.
It is said that the Emperor will review them, and
they will afterwards join the army. It is also as-
serted,—but this report wants confirmation,—.that
Turkish flag of truce has arrived at the camp of
General Diebitsch. The object of his mission is
unknown.—Gazelte of Augsburgh.
BELGRADE, JUNE 19.—Letters from Constan-
tinople have given rise to the most diverse reports.
Some persons pretend that the Capitan Pacha bad
again entered the Black Sea with his squadron, but
that it had been attacked and destroyed by Admiral
Greigh : others, on the contrary, maintain that the
Turks have succeeded in capturing some other
Russian men-of-war. Bad news from Asia had
been received at Constantinople. Gen. Paskewitsch
is said to have gained a great battle. It is affirmed
that the Ambassadors of France and England have
already arrived in the capital.
(From the Journal du Commerce of Saturday.)

PARIS, JULY 3.—After much uncertainty respect-
ing the fate of M. Galotti, the afflicting news which
was received is, at length, contradicted. The
Minister of the Interior has declared to-day, in the
Chamber of Deputies, that he is not dead, and that
he will not suffer. The courier of our Government
arrived in time to pre4nt the fatal execution. After
having committed a great fault, the Ministry has at
least found means to escape severe remorse.
