DEFEAT OF THE ASHANTEES.

It is with great pleasure that we have to communi-
cate some highly gratifying intelligence from the coast
of Africa; the Ashantees, whose temporary triumph
had given them great confidence, have ventured on an-
other battle, and have been signally defeated.

This intelligence is communicated in dispatches re-
ceived at the Colonial Office, dated the'lBth of July.—
They are brought by Colonel SUTHERLAND, who
has arrived in the THETIS, Sir JOHN PHILLIMOREO—•
Colonel SUTHERLAND had resigned the command to
Colonel GRANT.

The principal engagement took place on the 11th of
July ; the Ashantees had advanced within three miles of
Cape Coast Castle, when our •artillery opened upon
them, and committed terrific havoc, in consequence of
which, and the charge of our croups, they were com-
pletely defeated.
On the 12th and 13th some skirmisbes took place with
detachthents of the enemy, in which they were again
defeated with loss.

One of the results of our successes was, the release of
Mr. 'WILLI st s, Who had so long been detained by the
Ashantees. The following account of the battle has
been received from Portsmouth, where the Turns had
arrived,:,

" Poarsmoinu, San. 49,1884.

" Arrived his Majesty's frigate THETIS, of 46 guns,
Sir JOHN PIHLLIMORE, Knt. with dispatches from Cape
Coast Castle, announcing that the Ashantees were to-.
tally defeated in an action which took place on the 11th
of July, between their force, commanded by the KING
in. person, and a British allied force, under the corn-
Thaßti of •LieuteColonel SUTHERLAND, in which our
force sustained a loss of about .500 men in killed and
wounded, principally of the Fantee force. Capt.
was the only Officer killed. The amount of the loss of
the Ashantees is not known. Their force was estimated
at about 15,000 men. We had oppdrtunity, in this
battle, of the use of field-pieces, from which were fired
grape and canister-shot, •which caused
.great havoc
among the enemy, and, so much surprised them, that
they sheaved no disposition whatever to renew the battle.
They came down with a determined intention to take
the Castle. The battle was fought about three-quar-
ters of a mile from the shore. Parties of marines and
seamen were landed from the THETIS to aid in the con-
test. When the THETIS left Cape Coast, on the 22d of
July, nothing had been heard or seen of tile enemy
since the battle, although parties had been sent out in

search of them. It was therefore supposed that they
had given up the contest, and !Lid retired to their own
country. Col. SUTHRRLA ND came home in the THETIS:

•
This forenoon we received the Moniteur of Tuesday,
by Express. It contains an account of the entry of his
Majesty CHARLES X. into Paris, on Monday; and a
list of Appointments in his Household. The French,
ever fond of spectacle, bad the ceremony of the KING'S
entrance some+s hat marred, by cold and continued rain
but, notwithstanding this, a great part of the popula-
tion of Paris was in motion early on Monday morning.
—About nine o'clock the troops •took their station in
two parallel lines, the Nationll Guard on one side, and
the Royal Guard and ter ops of the line on the other.
The windows, which were crowded with spectators,
were ornamented with elegant draperies, devices, and
'emblems; while the white flag waved over the entrance
of a great number of buildings.
The KING left St. Cloud at half-past eleven o'clock.
Arrived at the Maillot gate, his MAJESTY then mounted
his hor,e, and the procession was formed according to
a programme previously circulated. The KINCY was
preceded by several squadrons of horse and bodies of
infantry, as well as by the. DAUPHIN, the Dukes of 011-
LEANS and 13ovanon, their Aides-de-Camp, &c.
Aftcr his Mat Esrr followed the Marshals of France
and several other Military Officers. A carriage also
contained the DAUPIIINESS, the Duche,ses de Maar
and Ortta:a.ris, and Mademoiselle On LEANS. Several!
other carriages with their suites followed.

His MAJESTY, on his arrival at the Barrier (Etoik,
was received by die Munkcipiallty of Paris. A lalto of.',,
101 cannon was at this momemeisthatra, amictsi cries
or,pive le Rh:: which *ere 'ettptitued along the lilies.
Thp.Municipal Carps *its heasled ty Comte de CiyA.
num., Prefeet"of the DeparYntk of the Seine, and M.
LAVAU, Prefect of Police. The Prefect of the Seine,
on presenting the keys of the city, addressed his MA-
JESTY in terms of condolence for the death of Louts
XVlll.and congratulation on his, own aceep!ion.
MAJESTY replied—
" I return you the keys, because I could not place them in more
faithful hands. Preserve them, Gentlemen, preserve then,. It is
with profound sentiments of gritf and joy that I enter your walls
in the midst of my good people—of joy, because I well know that
I shall devote the last of my days to secure their happiness."
The cries of Vive le Roi !" Vive M. k Daaphin !'
e Vive la Falai& Royale!' a thousand times repeated,
resounded from all parts, and the procession begun to
move amidst the loudest acclamations, to which his
MAJESTY fiequently replied with the most touching
sensibility.

The daf cleared up as the procession advanced, and
it was quite fair when the KING arrived at the Boulevards
and the rue St. Denis, amidst the cries of Vive le Roy,
the waving of handkerchiefs from the windows, and
other demonstrations of joy.

The KING having permitted that the Nuns devoted to
the service of the sick, should, according to ancient usage,
present their respects, fifty of them from the Hotel.
Dien were presented to the KING, one of whom ad-
dressed his MAJESTY in suitable terms.—His MAJESTY
replied—

" I know with what zeal you and the Gentlemen appointed to
the purpose, serve the poor. Continue, Mesdames, and you may
rely on my favour and protection."
The KING was received at the Metropolitan Church
by the Archbishop of PARIS, at the head of the Clergy,
and with the accustomed ceremonial. The Domine
salvum fac Regent and the Te Deum were executed by
a numerous body of musicians, accompanied by the
voices of an immense number of people, who filled the
Church.

After the religious ceremony, the KING left Notre
Dame, remounted his horse, and the procession pro-
ceeded to the Thuileries, where his MAJESTY arrived at
four o'clock, amidst salvoes of at tillery. In the evening
the public buildings, and several private houses, were
illuminated.

The King of SPAIN has ordered the Court to go into
mourning, for three months, for the death of Lours
XVIII. which is doublesthe period usually fixed in Spain
for mourning for the Kings of France. It is stated
from Madrid, on the authority of letters from the Ha-
vannah, that the Sabina had completely revictualled the
Castle of San Juan d'Ulloa.

The Moniteur contains an article from Semlin, dated
the Bth instant, which states, that " The most extraor~
dinary news, respecting Constantinople, is circulated at
Belgrade," and that, " according to the last letters from
Bitoglia, it is no longer possible to doubt that DEB.,
VISCU PAcHA has sustained a defeat in Thessaly.
The Etoik of Wednesday contains an article tram
Constantinople, dated August 25, stating that the Chief
of the Janissaries had caused to be strangled two ofßcers
of the Janissaries, who posted up a few days before, that
a great fire would take place during the present moon.
The guard seized two Janissaries at the moment they
were going to fire some houses. The Janissaries were
still discontented on the 22d and 23d.
The Journal des Debats contains extracts from the
Oriental Spectator, by which it appears that the Greek
population of Samos, consisting principally of women,'
old men, and children, had been obliged to fly to the
mountains, and hide themselves in caves and fastnesses,
to avoid the fury of the Turks and the ravages of the
Turkish fleet. They had previously set fire to their
houses, and carried into the interior whatever part of
their property or provisions they were able to transport.
The Greek Government bad decreed to send a flotilla
to their aid. In the same paper we find an extract
of a letter from Napoli di Romania, dated Aug. 1, in
which it is stated that the Provisional Goverment of
Greece has been recognized by the whole' Greek nation;
that a hundred sail of ships had been decreed to encounter
the fleet of the Pacha of Egypt; that the families of
Hydra and Spezzia, apprehensive of a visit from the
Turks had been transported to the Morea, as an asylum ;
and that about 4,000 men were about to sail from con-
tinental Greece to assist the gallant and devoted defen-
ders of those islands in resisting the anticipated invasion.

Accounts from Syra state, that an action had taken
place at Aelos, and Thermopylae, between the Turks
and the Greeks, and that the latter were victorious.

It will be recollected by those who have paid attention to
the Constitutional history of France,during the last twelve
or eighteen months, that a whole arrondissement, that
of Condom, had been left unrepresented in the Cham-
ber of Deputies, in consequence of the differences which
had arisen between the President of the College and
the Electors, or in other words, because it appeared
evident that the latter would not elect the former.—
Complaints were frequently made, in the course of the
last Session, that the Charter was violated by this local
suspension of the right of representation, and the jour-
nals echoed far and wide the denunciations of the Tri-
bune. All,however, was unavailing. CHARLES X. how.
ever, ascended the throne on the 16th inst. and on the
22d he issued an Ordonnance, which directs the Elec-
toral College of Condom to be assembled, and a Repre-
sentative to be immediately chosen.

Diario di Roma 07Triill of September, con-
tains an Ordonnance,,dated August 27,
issued by his
Holiness the POPE, on the method to be ebserved in
the Ecclesiastical States, in order, it is said, to unite
studies with piety. The substance of this Ordonnance
is as follows :—The 'studies are to be directed by a
Commission, consisting of several Cardinals, among
whom are the Secretary of .State, the High Chamber-

lain, the Vicar of Rome, and the Prefects del Indite,
and del Brion Governo. There are to be two superior.
Universities, one at Rome and the other at Bologna; and

five Universities of the second rank, namely, at Perugia,
Ferrara, Camerino, Macerata, and Fermo.
The superior Universities to have a High Chancellor,
the others a Chancellor. The High Chancellor of that at
Rome is the High Chamberlain; and of that at Bologna,'
the Archbishop of that city. The Chancellor of the-
Univet shies of the second rank shall be the Archbishops
or Bishops of the cities in which they are established.
In each University shall be four college, for the studr
of Theology, Law, Medicine, and Philosophy. Tlsel
Bishops taking into consideration the population and
revenues of the towns and villages in their respective
dioceses, in concert with the • Magistrates, shall propose
tp the Commission of Studies .how many ordinary
schools they desire to establish in each place. They
shall have the superinten,clance of them, which they,
shall cause to .be exercised in. each commune by an.

ecclesiastic of their choice. Various regulations
.are
added, respecting the duties of the Professors, of their,
substitutes, and of the Director of the Museums; also,
relative to the discipline of the Students, the duties of
religion and piety, and the conferring of degrees.

The notaries are also placed under the Commission
of Studies, and must Le examined in the chief or se-
condary Universities.
The schools of the regular order, and the episcopal
seminaries, are not subject to the Commission. No
academy of arts and sciences can be founded without
the leave of the Commission, and those already existing
must apply to it for confirmation. The Academy of
Fine Arts and Archeology, at Rome, remains as before,
subject to the Cardinal nigh Chamberlain.—How far.
science may be advanced by these regulations seems
very doubtful.


The operations of the Carahineers against the ban-
ditti, continue to go on successfully.
This forenoon we received a file of the Austrian Ob-
server to the 18th of September. Jit contains no intel-
ligence relative to Greece or Turkey. The following
