The Paris Papers of Tuesday and Wednesday hare

reached us, but they contain nothing worth translating,
for we have no faith in the rumoured triumphs of the
Royalists in Peru, when they originate in the Madrid
Gazette. We arb yet without any confirmation of the
reported victory of BOLIVAR ; .ta be sure, there has not
been any arrival since that could either corroborate or
refute it. We stated yesterday, that there was some
doubt of the intelligence being received so quick at
Guayaquil, from Lima. •
.One of the Morning Papers calculates the time
erroneowArshy assuming that the advices left Lima on
the 10th of May, but were that the case, how could a
letter written that day, state that Callao proposed to
capitulate on the 13th, three dayi after ? and yet such •is
the case. The 13th of May was, therefore, the very
earliest day on which the intelligence could be dis-
patched from Lima to Guayaquil. That BOLL VAR will
defeat the Spanish troops we doubt not, and that the
liberation of Peru will not be distant—nay, may have
been effected as stated in the letter ; but we should wish
More authentic evidence of the fact before we place im-
plicit reliance en it.

This morning we received Brussels Papers to the 28th
of July, bringing intelligence of a victory- over the
Turks, who have been a fifth time defeated at the more
than ever immortalized Thermopylae. It appears by
this account, which is very brief, that Dervisch Pacha,
who commanded at Larissa, advanced with 10,000
men. ODYSSEUS kept the Turkish army in check
during an engagement, which was very severe, when
receiving a reinforcement, the Turks .were entirely
routed. The following are estracts:
.ATHENS, JUNE 0.
Odysseus, united with Panorias of Salona, and Ni-
cetas, surnamed the Turcopliage, has for the fifth time
distinguished the straits of Thermopylz by the defeat
of the barbarians.

When news was received at Athens, that the captain
Pa,..ha Lad succeeded in re-victualling. Negropont, a
Lew a:tack on the side of 13cOtia was expected. Mea-
st.res weir, ti:erefem-c, taken in anticipation el this event;

The action was bloody ; that day the enemy es'a •
72:1 check at Dit.a, where Odysseus having been joined
kwy Scaltr.o, Dinos, and 7.•:.icetas, the Turks were put
to the taut. We are ignorant of their-loss, but at this

drawn either from the nature of the dispute, or from
that of the acts appealed to on each side, or from the
Decree of his Majesty the King of the Netherlands, are
over-ruled, on grounds drawn from,the rights of distri-
butive justice, from Article V. of the fundamental law,
or from the desire expressed by his Majesty to let the
territorial jurisdiction take its free course in a dispute,the
subject of which is now the sphere of private interests.
On the main point, the Court decided that the Duchy
of Bouillon was not governed by the compact of poli-
tical succession, but on the contrary, in its nature sus-
ceptible of being disposed of, either according to its own
public law, or according to the compacts which have
determined the fate of this Duchy, in the several fami-
lies which have had the sovereignty of it successively.

Deciding according to the entail of 3lst January,

1696, the Court decreed that the Duke of Bourbon, &c.
were entitled to enjoy the effects of it, to the exclusion
of the Prince de Bohan.

The Court, considering the Prince de Rohan as bona
fide possessor, condemned him to the restitution of the
revenues, only from the date of the commencement of
the action.—The same Tribunal pronounced judgment,
on the same day, in the cause of the English Ladies of
the Holy Sepulchre. The decision confirms the sen.
tence of the Tribunal of the First Instance, and the

measures taken by the Minister of Public Instruction,
tending to hinder the sale of the estates belonging to
the Corporation of the English Ladies. It decides that
the appellants are not invested with the fee simple of
these estates, and that they neither have nor could enjoy
them, except by conforming to the intentions of the
founders of the Corporation—that is to say, giving in-

structions, a condition which it is still in theirpowiv to
fulfil. It is believed that both these important causes
will be brought before the Court of Cassation.

WINDSOR, JULY 29.—Last evening his MAJSSTII
had a splendid dinner party at the Royal Lodge : there
were present his Highness Prince ES?ERIIAZY, Earl
and Countess COWPER, Earl and Countess LH:vas, Lord

We are happy to bear from all parts of the country,
that, notwithstanding the apparently uagenial state of the late
spring, the crops of every description are most promising and abun-
dant. This, after all, is the main consideration. Statesmen may
ponder, and subjects may toil; but without the blessings of Da-
vis:a newsman' the wisdom and labour of man would be of little
avail. While Paovmance thus showers down its blessings upon
us, we trust that nothing will occur to defeat their obvious effect.
Peace and plenty are advantages which the bulk of our population
have long looked for. They are now arrived; and we trust that
we shall be allowed to enjoy and to increase them.
h is a remarkable circumstance, and by no means
generally known, that neither the small-pox, measles,
"hooping-cough, nor scarlet fever, have ever been known
in New South Wales, Van Dieman's Land, or the Sand-

Every one who may have observed the opening in
the Strand, called Pickett-place, must have been at once
convinced that it was made under the contemplation,,

that at some future period it might be deemed expedient
to form a spacious street in a line therewith, so as to
open a good and direct carriage communication into
Lincoln's-inn-fields. This design has now beeh taken
up by the parochial officers of St. Clement Danes,whose
plan is to complete the undertaking, by forming a cor-
responding opening at Little Turnstile, into Holborn.
The number of houses to be pulled down, if this scheme
is adopted, will be about thirty, most of which are very
old, and in a dilapidated condition. As it is very
rarely that so great an improvement can be effected at
so little expense, it is presumed that the plan will
speedily be adopted.

VR. YATES, AND HIS COUNTRY COUSINS.I
CIIELTUNH AM, JULY 28.
Our. Races were uncommonly well attended during the three
days—the company coming from Gloucester, Tewkesbury, &c. as
well as Cheltenham. The Plate run for during the three days was
worth upwards of 2,000 gdiireas. The diem/ices trludistrie, whe-
ther natives or Londoners, were also in tolerably full attendance;
and succeeded, in defilnce of the " world's law," in despoiling di.
vers personages of sundry valuables.
The most memorable, or rather that matt tallied of amongst
these performances, is the robbery committed on 'Sirs. YATES,
late Miss Banarrox. Mr. YATES in conjunction with Mr. FAR-
Lay, of Covent Garden, have the Theatre here, as well as
those of Gloucester and Tewkesbury. Now, Mr. YATES is a
newly married man, and withal uncommonly gay, driving,
about in an open barouche, and in this display he is, as it be-1
comes a married man to be, accompanied by his elegant lady.
That they went to the listen, therefore, may not be surprising.
They were there, and some courthyosen took an uncommon in-
terest in their comforts, impelled no doubt by perceiving the mu-
tual anxieties of the young couple to see all that was to be seen, and 11
to know all that was to be known. A countryman told them about
a very celebrated rider, named Bog, and as be was announced as
a distinguished performer, the young couple were naturally
very anxious to behold him. Ile was arriving ! The scene be-
came more animated ; expectation was on tip toe—for " Bag !"
The Lady quitted her seat to have a better view • and in order to
be wholly disengaged and unembarrassed, she relieved herself of
her reticule, which-she put under the seat. One of the " country.
men" was very tired, and begged to be accommodated behind the
carriage; and this was acquiesced in,and besides, from his elevated
station, he could give early note of " Bag's" approach. Ile
did so ; be was on the look out : and at last he exclaimed,
"" Now, Bag," and " now, bag," echoed the countrymen.—
The great rider was scrutinixingly watched—but, Io ! when the
sight bad passed, the fair lady went for ber reticule, it was gone,
as were the countrymen. The warning that the robbery might
safely be committed, was—" Now, bag I" and sure enough
they then bagged Mrs.Yarrs's reticule. In it were aXS note, some
sovereigns, her gold watch, chain, seals, &c. Mr. YATES'S portrait,
handsomely mounted in gold, was nut in the " bag" as some per-
sons here have stated. It may be needless to add, that neither Mr.
nor Mrs. Y. have since heard anything of their " Ormsby Cousins."
