obliged to pot our Paper topress but it was
sive of the sense siie entertained Orthis expression
of affection and regard on the part of the City of
London; and which had impressed on the mind of
her MAJZSTY, feelings that no time or circumstances
would ever be able to obliterate.

The Corporation had then the honour to kiss her
MataisTy's hand, and retired.
On regaining their carriages they were again
saluted by the immense concourse assembled on this
occasion, and then returned to the City in the same
order in which they had come.

A considerable degree of agitation prevailed in the
City this forenoon, in consequence of various reports
which are afloat, respecting some insubordination

evinced on the part of the numerous military sta-
tioned in and about the Metropolis. We have made
every enquiry in our power into the origin of these
rumours, and we regret extremely to have to state
that, though greatly exaggerated, they are not alto-
gether destitute of foundation.

Of the cause of discontent we have received so
many conflicting accounts, that we forbear at present
from repeating any of them ; but of this much our
Readers will be glad to be assured, that it is limited
to a few of the troops, and offers no ground for seri-
ous apprehension. A division of one of the Regi-
ments of the Foot Guards (the 3d, we believe) were
suddenly marched of this morning to Portsmouth.

Since writing the preceding, we have been favoured,
from a respectable source, with the following parti-
lars

" For several days, a considerable-degree of dis-
content was manifest amongst the soldiers of the Ist
Battalion of the 3d Regiment of Guards. Yesterday
morning, they shewed strong marks of insubordina-
tion. After guard was relieved, they *ere required
to give up their arms and ammunition, which they
did, but not without some hesitation.

" Orders were immediately given for their being
marched of, and the first division left town this
morning. On passing before the Horse Guards, they
were cheered by these on duty. The second division
marches to-morrow.

" His Royal Highness the Duke of GLoucErrsn.
who is Colonel of the Regiment, was this morning a
considerable time in consultation with the COu-
MANDEA•IN-CHIEF.

" It is rumoured that the detachment halted a-few
miles from town, and refused to proceed.
" It is also, said that the other battalion of the
same regiment, stationed at Windsor, and some of
the Blues, have been guilty of a similar breach of
discipline.

" What gives this occurrence rather a serious
aspect, is an attempt that was made by _some of the
3d regiment to tamper with a part of the Cold-
stream regiment.

4, It appears, however, that the principal cause of
discontent consisted in a dislike to the new Barracks,
at the Mews, and to the extra duty of patrolling fat 1
night, 'without receiving the douceur granted to the'
troops during the Corn Bill riots."

The Paris Papers of Tuesday arrived this forenoon.
The. particulars with which they furnish us of the
concluding debate on Monday, on the EleCtion Law,
are not possessed of much interest. AL SAVOY }lot-
us, in stating his reason for supporting the Project,
as amended by M. Boss, gave what we apprehend
may be regarded as a pretty correct representation
of the feelings of all that middle party, by whose
support the new law has been carried. lle .6 voted
for the Amendment, because he voted against civil
war !" The left side were vehement for a still far-
ther prolongation of the discussion, but were stoutly
opposed by the majority of the Chamber, who ap-
peared resolved to bring it to an immediate termina-
tion, even at the hazard of dining a few hours later
than usual.

M. CASSIMER PERRIER asked Ministers if they
wished also to sabre the discussion, by thus pressing
it so hastily to a conclusion ? At six o'clock, the cries
of " To-morrow—to-morrow !" became incessant
from the left benches, but the Ministerial party still
persevered, till at half-past seven the way was finally
cleared for taking the vote on the whole of the Law
by nominal appeal. Thl result was in substance,
though not numerically, the same as that communi-
cated by the telegraphic dispatch from Calais. The
votes were—For the Project, 154—Against it, 95
Majority, 59.
Of the state of the Capital, the most recent account
we meet with is the following, in the Journal de Paris:
" PARIS, JUNE 12—Ten (Mock at Night.
" A considerable number Opersons again collected
to"-day on the Boulevards, near the gates of St. Mar-
tin and St. Denis, but no tumultuous assemblages
were formed, nor were any cries heard. Numerous,
detachments of the National Guard, of the Royal
Guard, and of the Troops of the Line, are stationed
on the Boulevards. -All is perfectly tranquil at the
moment we now write."

On the 31st ult. Stephen Joimexet, was sentenced
by the Assize Court of the Upper Gironne, to five
years imprisonment, and a fine of 500 francs, for
seditious exclamations and offensive language re-
specting the King and Royal Family.
On the 7th inst. the Court of Assize at Bourdeaux,
sentenced two persons, named Foams and Duffiesit,,
for a like offence) to eighteen mouths imprisonment,

*and sae•4E SOO francs each, with payment of coat
of process. •
Five per cents. Monday, /dr.
Mails have arrived to-day from Han burgh and
'Flanders.
• The people of Hanover are in confident expecta,
tion of a visit from his MAJESTY, soon after the Co-
ronation.

The enterprizing MAHOMED Ati, Pacha of Egypt,
has sent a corps of troops to Lybia, to subdue the
Arab tribes that inhabit that country, which is very
rich in natural productions, and who greatly molest
the trading caravans. • Several travellers who joined
this expedition, in order to visit the Temple of
Jupiter Ammon, report that this bold enterprize
has been retarded, not so much by the Arabs as
by the plague which broke out among the troops.
The PACHA has, however, immediately sent rein-
forcements. He has likewise sent seven or eight
thousand men to Nubia, to subdue the Mamelukes
who still live in that country, in order to unite with
his Government that Province, which supplies the
markets of the East with abundance of elephants' teeth,
ostrich feathers, gum. tamarinds, &c. The prepara-
tions against Ala PACHA of Janina continue, and the
troops of various PACHAS are assembling to march
against him. Pzummt PACHA, who commands the
expedition, has asked from the Porte a reinforce-
ment of artillery, and has received 80 cannon, with
three companies of artillery.
The latest accounts from Bagdad say, that the
Schah of PERSIA is still dangerously ill, and that
there is scarcely any hopes of his recovery. His death
cannot fail to be attended with very serious conse-

!nences to the internal tranquillity of that empire, as
the numerous Sans of the Sovereign, who govern in
the several provinces, do not seem disposed to leave
the Throne, according to their father's will, to Amts
ifISZA, one of the younger sons. The Porte sent an
Agent some time ago to Teheran, as well on account
of the differences still subsisting respecting the fron-
tiers, as to obtain information respecting the actual
state of things in that country. Sir R. LISTON, the
British Ambassador, has lately had a conference with
the Reis Effendi respecting the new Tariff, which is
to be drawn up according to those which Austria
and France have agreed to.

Jamaica Papers arrived this forenoon to the Ist of
May. His Grace, the Governor, had been pleased
to postpone the sailing of the I.ldy Wellington packet,
until the 9th May, owing to the badness ofthe weather.

' The President of the Venezuelian Government ar-
irivedin London this morning.
The following is an extract of a letter from the
Agents at Lloyd's at Genoa, dated the Sd instant:—
" fhe Santa Croce, corvette, sailed from Gibraltar
about four months since for titii port, and has not
since been heard of. She bad on board a valuable
cargo of colonial produce, some cases of gold dust,
and gold in bars." Another letter of the same date
says—" We had an account by a Swede, about four
days-since, of his passing fourteen dead men, floating
on the water, pinioned together. They are conjec-
tured to have been the crew of a Genoese brig which
sailed from hence four months since, for Gibraltar,
with a considerable quantity of specie on board, and
has not since been beard of.'

Extract of a letter from Bayonne, dated June 4
gi 'The entry into Werke of Newspapers from the Pe-
ninsula, is prohibited with more caution than the Se-
cretary of State for the Home Department endea-
vours to exclude the plague from the shores of the
United kingdom. On prosecuting my inquiries, I
have understood that the agents cf Police are con-
stantly on the look-out to prevent the circulation or
entry of all the Spanish Journals, Pamphlets, &c.
while it is not more than a month ago that they vi-
sited the coffee-houses, for the purpose of seizing the
Papers which found their way to Bayonne. So much.
for the blessings of the Charter! The prohibitive
system does not, however, I am happy to say, pre-
vent matters from going on most favourably for the
cause of nations, in Spain. The result of several con-
versations with travellers just returned from Madrid
and Cadiz, enables me to inform you, that nothing
can exceed the joy manifested by
.the -people on
having regained their independence, which they are
to a man resolved to defend at thehazard of their lives.
With a few exceptions, the Elections are completed ;
and what is still mere important, the choice of the
people has Mien on the most enlightened men and
distinguished Patriots of Spain. It is also fully ex-
pected that the Cortes will meet at Valladolid on the
9th instant. Quiroga (now a General) and his co-
adjutor, Riego, aided by the Junta of Cadiz, have
titenty-four thousand men under arms in the Island
of Leon, which they are fortifying more strongly
than ever, lest any attempt from within or without
should induce Ferdinand toforget his late oath. You
have, no doubt, heard, that when the highest military
I order in the gift of his Catholic Majesty was lately
sent to the modern Timoleon, he modestly declined
accepting it, saying that he was most warmly attached
to the Sovereign, and required no other reward
than the consciousness of having served his country!
—Upon a more recent occasion, the whole of the
troops, as if anxious to emulate the disinterested
heroism of their Chief, unanimously gave up a gra-
tuity tendered by Government in consideration •of
their services. The motive alleged is also worthy of
remark, viz. that they wanted noetcompense till after
the assemblage of the Cortes, and that the Constitu-
tion was finally established. If this does not present
a new era in the military character, where are we to
find one? There are a variety of anecdotes in circu-
lation relative to the firmness and presence of mind
of FERDINAND when the Revolution was effected,
which would induce a belief, that he has been more
led astray by others than influenied by the dictates
of his own mind. Be this as it may, there is no doubt
of the QuEEN's having taken a most-active and ad-
mirable part in the late glorious change.'
