On the 7th the Duke of RAGUSA reviewed the

At Trevoux an extraordinary trial has just been
of one JEAN CHARNAT, who appears to

of the Ex-Emperor, sad to have condooted

of credulous people throughout the Department
the Rhone. The adventures of the false Emperor

The intereging trial for the assassination of M.
FUALDES, f)f which we some days Igo gave the
initiatory .particulars, has not yet concluded, but in
our preceding viumns we have given the continuation
of the proceedings as far as they have yet reached us.
An article from Madrizl, states, that there is no-
thing new in that capital, and that the Royal bonds
are still at a great discount, not less than 3-4ths per
cent.—A British man of war is said to have put into
Gibraltar about the end of last month, which brought
intelligence that the plague at Algiers was carrying
off from sixty to seventy persons daily.

Intelligence has been received at LLoyu's, that the.
Congress, insurgent schooner privateer, of 16 guns
and 19/ men, was spoken on the SOth ultimo, about
five leagues from Flores, when the Captain reported
that he had taken eight Spanish vessels and sent them
to different ports; and that be was then on a cruize
among the Western Islands.

Extract of a letter from Pernambuco, dated July 31:
" A -Portuguese frigate and about twenty sail of ntercbantmen

Sir JOHN M4MAHON is reported to have died worth
£lO,OOO, the greater part of which he has bequeathed
to hib brother the MAsteß of the ROLLS in Ireland.
The Baronetcy devolves en his brother in India.

We stated some time since, that a British General
Officer had been arrested in France, at the suit of a
French Hotel-keeper, late of Leicester-square, for a
debt contracted in this coentry. The case has been
ably defended in the Court of Rouen, and the deci-
sion has been given against the Frenchman, who has
been condemned to pay all the costs and expenses,
besides losing his debt.
Sir FRANCIS SURDRIT is now on a visit to his friend
Rama O'Cutmoa at the Cove of Cork, where the lat-
ter has taken a house for the benefit of sea.batbing.
Count and Countess LIEVAN returned to town yes-
terday, from the Duke of BEDFORD'S, Woburn Abbey.
The Marquis of Ancmime has left his seat in Staf-
fordshire. on a shooting party iri Nottinghamshire.
The Marquis of Seto° arrived on Saturday at the
Clarendon Hotel, Bond-street, from his seat in Ireland,
and immediately left town for Holland, to attend the
remains of his much-lamented mother to England.
Mr. OSIALDESTOI4 has taken leave of the Members,
of the Atbastone Hunt in a handsome address, in
which be predicts that their pleasures of the chase
will not suffer under the management of his friend
and successor Sir BELLIROSIAM GRAHAJI.
Two very important Parliamentary Documents
are in course of publication, by Mr. Clement, 192.
Strand, London, price 7s:each—one is the Report
of the Select mmittse of the House of Coltman
on the Poor Laws, the other is the Second Report on
the Police, together with the very interesting Minutes
of Evidence. The Poor Laws Report makes 240
pages, and the New Report on the Police 328 pages,
to Bvo. closely printed.
The pavement of Pall-Mall, opposite to Carlton.
House, has been raised four inches, to bring it on a
level with Waterloo-place. By pulling down the
houses adjacent to the Opera-house, and erecting the
colonade on its present site, that part of Pall-Mall fiasl
been widened 16 feet, and when the leases of thej
houses on the South side from Carlton-House mi.
Cockspur-street (which have about two years to run):
have expired, the width will be further increased.
Should the whole of the intended improvements in
the vicinity of Carlton-house be completed, a carriage
way will be opened from Bing-street to St. Jamesys-1
greet, and Charles-street will be contiuued on the easel
side of the Haymarket by removing the Theatre, ice.,
and making a new street, to terminate with the por-'
tico of St. Martin's Church, which of course will
form a noble object from St. James's-street, being
seen through St. Jamesis•square. If the view of St.
James's Church had been preserved from Oxford-
street, down Swallow-street, the new buildings car-,
Tying on there would not have had such a bungling
appearance as they form at present.

DRURY LANZ TflaATIBRo.44r. STANLEY repeated
the part of Rover, in Wild Oats. last night, to a very
crowded and fashionable audience, and he seemed
more at ease than on his first performance. No Song
We Supper followed, in order to introduce Miss Cu
)ITT, in Afar:arena. This young Lady, the daugh-
ter of a late Comedian, who, some years since. be-
longed to the other Theatre, possesses a clear and
musical voice, with conliderable taste. She sang the
wogs allotted to her ins very pleasing style, and was
received with the greatest applause. She played the
character well. We think Miss Comer will hem= a
great acquisition to the vocal department of the Theatre.
ENOLISII OrERA.—The Manager of this Theatre
is certainly entitled to the thanks of the public, for
the successful novelties with which he has repeatedly
favoured them. A week teas scarcely elapsed, since
we have had occasion to give a description of a plea-
sant little Piece, the composition of Miss Nooru, en-
titled Diquires, which was conceived and executed m
the true spirit of our genuine English Faces; and
the same pleasing task again devolves upon as, in
announcing another new Operetta, or Dramatic Di ver:,
dormant, in one act, entikd —Waged, a Gagm an.
which was brought out last night, and which kept the
audience in a merry and laughing mood from the
beginning to the end; the whole Eomposition bang
an uninterrupted flow of fun, pleasantry, and humour,
particularly so in the interviews tat occur between
the Governess and her employees. There are some
very charming songs in this Piece, whit!' was given
out for another representation, amidst the loud ap-
plause& of au overflowing sad elegant audience.

An occurrence of a somewhat unpleasant nature,
has, we learn, taken place in a part of the Russian
Empire not very accessible to commerce of any kind,
and therefore perhaps the less suspected as the focus
of ao illicit commerce. The Government of Russia
having some reason to suppose that an extensive
smuggling trade was carried on by British ships at
the pott of Archangel. as well as other Russian ports.
directed that a more rigorous investigation should be
instituted; when it was discovered that false entries had
been made at the Custom-houses, and means found to
introduce on shore merchandise prohibited altogether,
er such as afforded a strong temptation to evasion
by the high amount of the duty. In all cases, it is
said, where the fraudulent intention was evident, the
rudders of the ships have been taken sway, in order
to prevent their sailing till the pleasure of Govern-
ment is known. The affair, as we hinted above, is
rather disagreeable to the individuals concerned than
perplexing to the public. councils. The contraband
goods, we suppose, and the vessels loading them,
are, by the laws of all Commercial States, liable to sei-
,nute—and the Russian Government will, of course,
deal with its own subjects that have been concerned
in the fraud, as it thinks proper, or rather, according
to the municipal laws of that country.
