We have already mentioned‘ the arrest of Mr.
Bowmxa at Calais, and hi: commitment to the prison
at Bnulogne, by a telegraphic elder from the French_
Government. Mr. Berlin, in a letter to Sir Cans.
STUART, supposed the sole ground pf hi‘ arrest to be,
that he was the beater of ﬁfteen private letten and
two scaled packets. one of them from the Portugnese
Ambassador at Pafis to the Portuguese Ministers,
and of me contents of all of which he was entitely

ignorant.

Mr Buuetcne, the elegant author of the “ His-
tnrical Review of the Spanish Revolution," who was
at Calais at the time, (and who“ was also, though we
believe erroneously, reported to be arrested), wrote
another letter to Sir CrtAans STUART, claiming one
of the letters seized upon Mr. Bowntxo. and protest-
ing against the seal being broken by the French Autho-
rities. nough he had no objections to its being opened
by the Representative of his Britannie Muss".
On Friday Mr. Jammy BENTIIAM wrote a state-
ment ofthese facts to Mr. CAsntso. and it is due to
the new Secretary to state he last no time in trans.
mitting Mr. Bnnrumt's letter to our Ambassador in
Paris, who, we trust. will as promptly interfere in
behalf of our insulted country and countryman, for
such an Outrage must be decisively resented.—
Mr. Bowntxo‘ can have violated no law, for what
Cl'ilhed State would think of making the bearer of
sealed letters responsible for their contents? Of
course We cannot tor a moment suppose the Law of
France so ﬂagrantly unjust as to do so, and we must
presume, therefore, that the act is as illegal according
to the French law as it is repugnant to the dictates
of common sense.

Letters from ConstantinoPle to the 11th ultimo,
received this morning, state the departure of Lord
Sum scrono, on the Bth. The Austrian Minister was
also about to quit. Mr. F. HAmtxrou, brother to a
Gentleman hi the Foreign Oﬁce, was to conduct the
business in the absence of Lord S-rnuoronu. At
the date of these letters, a courier had arrived with
the new: of the Marquis of Loranonnenev's death.
