The brigs l'E;4l;re and D:iten, fitted out at Nantes.,
have been seized on the coast of Africa by the French
squadron in those seas, for violation of the laws respect-
ing the Slave Trade. These two vessels have been sent
into Senegal, where the affair will be investigated be-
fore the tribunal.
Accounts received from Toulon state, that 4 proper
measures are taken to meet with the Algerine corvette
on Its return from Alexandria, and that the necessary
precautions for the security of French subjects in proper
time has been ordered and executed with equal success

and promptness.
Our readers know that M. Ginstiniani, nuncio to the
Pope in Spain, has been recalled at the desire of his
Catholic Majesty. We leatn that his Holiness has just
appointed this Prelate his legate in the late Spanish
Colonies in South America, with full power for the in-
stallation of his Bishops in that country, in convent

with the local authorities.
M. de Cordova, late Secretary of Legation at Paris,
has just been appointed Minkter oFSpain to Copenhagen.
It seems that it is M. Villalba, Chief Clerk in the
office. who is appointed Secretary to the Duke of San

_
Carlos.
Monseignoer Adalbert and Skarzeuski. Archbishop
of Warsaw, and Primate of the kingdom of Polatid,

died on the 12th of June, aged 84.
Yesterdey a violrnt storm with thunder and hail'
burst over the capital. The Garden of the Tuileries was
covered with branches torn from the largest trees. The
lightning struck the house at the corner of the Rue
Richelieu and the Boulevard Italien : it dashed the
chimney to pieces, and afterwards disappeared in the
Boulevard. Happily everybody had sought shelter
from the torrents of rain and hail, and nobody was in-
jured. It is feared that the surrounding country bas
suffered severely.
• The storm came up again during the night. The
fact which is perhaps the most worthy-of the attention,
of meteorologists this year, is the coexistence of the
drought which threatens the harvest of the north of
Europe, with inundations which ravage the middle and
the south of the Continent. In the provinces on the
coast of the Baltic, it is feared that the extreme heat,
and the want of rain, will wither up the corn before it
comes to maturity, and the same countries may, per-
haps, be ravaged in the sequel by the overflowing of
the rivers, which have been swelled at their source.—
The Elbe, in pa: ticular, is at such a height as to cause
great apprehensions.
We have a letter from Havre, of the 2d of July, I
which says—" The Great Britain, of New York, with
2300 bales of cotton, destined for Havre, was ordered
by the consignees, as soon as it arrived in the roads, to
go to Liverpool."
• A letter from Naples gives most afflicting accounts of
the ravages caused by the inundations in Lalabria, viz.
at Reggio and its environs. Besides other torrents, the
Calopinari and the Sr. Agatha overflowed their banks
and did immense damage, not to speak of the injury
done to the finest farms, country houses, mills, Btc. and
on the 6th of June the Calopinari ease in the night, de.
stroyed seven houses, damaged ten, and obliged the in-
habitants of fifty others to leave them all; those in the
square of St. Philip were laid under water. The com-
munes of Gallico and Calons, the first of 885, the se-,
cond of 1,770 inhabitants, were almost wholly destroy-
•ed ; 17 persons perished at Gallico and one at Calona.
All the merchantmen and fishing boats were dashed to
pieces. In the town of Scilla the left side of the cathe-
dral is ruined, the streets choked up with sand and
stones, and 36 houses destroyed; twelve persons, who
were out fishing, perished. A great deal of other da-
mage has been done.
A whale, the largest specie!, was cast on shore near
Otranto, on the sth of May. Its immense size may be
imagined from the fact that the united efforts of six
strong oxen and 40 men were required to draw a wag-
gon loaded merely with the skull.

PROM Till 001111TITLYTION1lEL.
We have received from the Marseilles Lazaretto the
following letter, %%Filch contains some very satisfactory
news respecting Lord Cochrane's expedition:
"I left the Hellas frigate on the 31st of May, off Calama, and
• have returned to Marseilles on board the Unicorn schooner, after
a three weeks passage. Having been in Greece during the three
months which have elapsed since Lord C.ochrane's arrival, and hav-
ing served as an Officer on board his frigate, I can bear witness to
what bra passed during that time.
Lord Cochrane arrived in the Unicorn on the 17th of March.—
greece eras then in the greatest disorder. Anarchy was at its
height in the Government, and in another month a civil war would
have commenced. The firmness of Lord Cochrane happily put an
end tribe confusion. The two parties discontinued theirreciprocal
eriminations, and the deputies of the different provinces cordially
assembled on the td of April at Heinle.
" The first obj. ct of Lord Cochrane was to relieve the citadel of,
Athens to raise the siege, and deliver the brave Fabvier. No-
thiiig calculated to ensure the success ofithe enterprise was neglect.
ed by that brave Commander, aided by General Church ; but the
Greeks, though naturally very btave, are deficient iirthe discipline
necessary for securing military triumphs. The result of this affslt
Is known to you..
'' On the 19th of May, the brave Admiral sailed from Speeela,
on board of the Hellas, which is one of the largest and finest frigates
ever built. He directed his course to the western coast of the
Norm, and arrived on the tin at Carton. We descried two
small Turkish frigates off that town, but we could not come up with
them until half-past eight in the evening. The attack then com-
menced, but the darkness of the night prtvented us from fully
availing ourselves of our advantages. The frigates escaped amld.t
the obscurity. We afterwards learned from an lonian vessel that
one of them had suffered severely ; that the Captain and 30 men
were killed, and 70 wounded.
" On the following day, a Tutklsh brig, loaded with powder and
previsions fur the Ottoman army, was taken by a stratagem. We
hoisted Austrian colours on board the frigate. The Turkish Captain
came on board, and we made him prisoner. Several Turkish
Officers of distinction, *ha were on board the brig, surrendered
without resistance, as soon as they learned that Lord Cochrane was
in person on board of the frigate. As soon as the Turkish *oldie's
found that they were prisoners, one of them lighted a match, and
was about to apply it to the powder, and blow all up, but be was
stripped in time to prevent the execution of his project. They
thought that being prisoners they would, as others had formerly
been, be massacred.
" The Tprks were treated with great humanity, and two days
after they were set at liberty, and landed on the coast of the Mores,
opposite Canine. Lord Cochrane gave their Captain two letters,
one addressed to Ibrahim Pease, and the other to Kiutahi Packs,
the two Turkish Commanders. In those letters Lord Cochrane
stated, that as long as he should have the command of the Greek
Sect, he would treat Turkish prisoners according to the laws of
war observed by European nations, and that he hoped the Turkish
Commanders would act in the like manner.
" I regret much that the steam-boats are not yet arrived from
Nargland. Had they been along with the frigate, the Turkish fleet,
committing of a ship of tbe line, thirty frigates and corvettes, with as
many brigs and galleys,would before now have been repeatedly at-
tacked. smd perhaps totally, destroyed. It Is to be hoped that the
GrCeit Committees in Europe will unite their efforts to fit out the
steam-boats, and forward them to Greece, for without them it is
impossible that a single frigate, however great the talent and gal-
lantry of 140 rd Cochrane, can triumph over the united efforts of so

We publish to-day the official account of the Revenue
for the quarter just ended.; and it will be seen that it
announces a slight improvement,as compared to the cor-
responding quarter last year. The difference, it is true,
is not very material, as it amounts only to the sum of
45,5501. but still it is an increase, and a fair subject ot
Icongratulation, as a proof of a gradual though very
Ivlow recovery, and a triumphant reply to those who
•
insisted that the country had passed the term of ha
I prosperity. The produce of the quarter just ended,
amounted to 12,045,9971. that of the quarter, which
ended the sth of July, 1826, to 12,000,2271. The
greatest improvement has. talc,n place in the Customs,
chewing an increase of 202 5661. and implying, of course,
a change for the better in our fore'gn trade.

Halifax Papers to the 17th June, and New Bruns-
wick to the 10th June, received at the North and South
American Coffee-hou•e ; but their contents are unim-
portant.

We received this morning the St Petersburgh Journal
to the 19th inst. Its contents, however, will not satisfj
the curiosity of the readers to know something of the
actual state of the relations between Russia and the'
Porte, or of the real intentions of the former Power re-
lative to the affairs of Greece. On these interesting
hopes, the most profound silence is observed,, but this
does not invalidate the repeated statements which bare
recently appeared in the German and other Continental
Papers. It announces, however, a new victory over
the Persians ; but the account is too long, and the affair
too uninteresting for insertion.

We also received this morning Brussels Papers to the
sth inst. The Prussian Government has recently issued
a notice, ordering the strict observance throughout
the monarchy of the prohibition to preach any sermon
of a controversial nature, either in the Protestant or
Catholic chirches, and threatening to prosecute. without
indulgence,any Clergyman, who may slight this notice.
The Ministers of the different persuasions are also pro- I
hibited from using in their discourses any expressions,
tending to disturb the harmony and peace existing
between the different churches, and which would be
contrary " to the spirit of the Gospel, and to Christian
toleration." These papers contain no political news
whatever.

A Cabinet Council (the third this week) was held
yesterday afternoon, at the residence of Mr. Cannon, in Down-

Hari of Harrowby. the Earl of Carlisle, Mr. Secretary Bourne,,
Viscount Dudley and Ward, Viscount Gedetich, Viscount Pal-
merston, Mr. Wynn, Mr. Madam'', and Mr. Tierney. The
Ministers met at tom o'clock, and continued sitting till half-past
five o'clock.

STATE OF MIA DlL—Business continues ie much the
same state as we reported last week, the demand limited,
with a partial decline of price. But as this particular
period of the year is generally unfavourably to trade,
Ike present stillness ought not to becoosidered en indi-
cation of permanent`declension. We feel on tbicon-
trary, confident that a few weeks will see a cols iderable
improvement both in the demand for our manufactures
and in their price. We are particularly happy to state,
that the late advances in wages base produced a great
and beneficial change in .the circumstances of the
weevers, who are not only in foil employment, but also
id receipt of wages by which, particularly where there
are two or three of them in a family, they are able to
obtain a comfortable livelihold.— Manchester Herald.

The Directors of the Bank of England having aster
tained by exretience, that the capital of that establish-
ment cannot be employed at a profit of .5 per cent, per
annum, they have announced that, after this day, they
will discount approved Bale of Exchange at the rate of
4 per cent. per annum ; and that the Branches in the
country of their establishmentswill:adept tl,i same rate.
The following is a copy of the °Mc's, notification on
this subject : " Bank of England, July 5, 1557.
" Resolved—That Notes and Bills, approved of in the usual
manner, and'not having more than 95 days to run, be discounted at
the rate of 4 per cent. per annum, oa and alter the 6th of July,
1927."

called " t're Walter Scott." It is said that in conse-
quence of the rapidity of communication by steam,
goods were brought to Leipsic from London at the close

vation of the statue to its proper position, and the pro-
cess of raising it is likely to be carried into execution
without further delay. The statue, we understand, is
about 16 feet ih height. The height of the column is
upwards of 136 feet ; and when the statue is added to it,
the total height will be upwards of 152 feet.—Edin. 06.

that the shot had penetrated through the skull into

. .E 3 ECUTION.-THISsMDINING.

The last awful sentence of the law was put into ere.
cation this morning at eight o'clock, at the Old B ileT,
on George Warner, and William Condell, who were ca.
pitally convicted at the last Sessions, the former for
coining, and the latter for burglary.
At half past seven o'clock, the Sheriffs FA imam PE
and WINCHESTER arrived in their carriages, accompa.
nied by the civic attendants and officers, when ther
were immediately conducted.along the lofty and dismal
avenues of the Gaol, until they arrived at the apartment
where it is usual to go through the prepatatory arrange.
meats of the execution. The room contained several
Gentlemen, whose curiosity led them to witness the
ceremony. . ,
Shortly before eight o'clock, the Rev, dentin/led
proceeded to:the cells of the unhappy men, who x•e•d
engaged in prayer. The announcement that tilt fatal
hour had arrived, seemed to infuse through Warren a
degree of satisfaction, and he evidently made an effort
to rouse himself, in order to meet his punishment with
fortitude. He was conducted to the Press-room, on
entering which he gazed wildly around him, as if he
did n..t expect to meet so numerous an assemblage of
persons. ►de bowed respectfully, and walked over to
Jack Ketch's assistant, who coolly pinioned his arms.
The countenance of the unfortunate man bore an ap.
pearance indicative of anxiety end grief—his eyes being
inflamed and sunken from having recently been suffused
in tears. Being bound, he took his seat until Condell was
brought into the room in a state of complete despair,
tears rolling down his cheeks, and his lips quivering
in a convulsive manner. Every preparation being gone
through previous to the last destined ceremony, the
Sheriffs proceeded to the door of the room; they were
followed by the Rev. Mr. Cozzou, in his canonicals,
and the culprits, who prayed as they walked along.
The procession moved through a long and narrow pas-
sage, leading to a spacious and lofty room, which would
be in utter eta knells, were it not that a lamp exhibit-
ing a glimmering light is suspended from the centre of
the ceiling by a long chain. The.appearance of the
place affords a most glotimy picture. On entering
this apartment, the sound of a dismal bell vibrates
through the dome, and infuses through those not accus-
tomed to the prison an elegtite effect. The culprits at
this crisis were separated, for the put pose of per.
forming the usual ancient ceremonies in cases of
high treason. Warren 'was fed to the felon's door,
opposite which, in the Old • Bailey, an hurdle, of an
extensive description, with straw, was placed. War.
ren, on beholding this, grew pale, and trembled.
'He walked with apparent fear to the hurdle, and
seated himself. en the straw, when Mr. lia.zza sate
himself down by his side, and directed his • thoughts to
HEAVEN. A horse being attached to the hurdle, it was
drawn to the gallows slowly, the executioner duting the
petiod standing behind the culprit with a naked broad
sword in his hand. He was ultimately placed on the
scaffold, and .vas instantly afterwards followed.by Con-
de!. The executioner having adjusted, the rapes, Mr.
COTTON read an appropriate prayer, when be gave the
signal, and the unfortunate men were launched into
eternity. They struggled but a few moments.
Nichols, the young man convicted of sheepstealing,
received a respite last night at eight o'clock:.
During the awful proceeding, we could not avoid
noticing groups of young pickpockets and dissolute
girls indtslging in the most infamous language, and
forcing their way through the•crowd, evidently with the
intention of picking pockets.

THE CAMELEOPARD.

FROM TUE CONSTITUTIONNEL OF TUESDAY.

The long expected cameleopard has, at lengthar rived,
and made its solemn entry into Paris at half-past five on Saturday
afternoon. A Darfur negro, named Atir, and a Moor of Sennaar,
called Hassan, both sent by the Pacha of Egypt, dressed in their
turbans, &c. held the animal in a baiter, and were followed by
two other Africans. It had been stripped at the gates of its
travelling habit, which consisted of a covering of cloth, hang
[on it the arms of France. It was accompanied by an escort
of twenty-five gens.d'anues, which had been sent to wet it
at the gate of Villeneuve Saint Georges. Ail the we from
Marseilles to Paris three gene Warms, who were relimedlevery
post. attended, in order to protect it from mischief. A Wagger.
'containing several other articles sent by the Pacha to the King,
preceded the cortege, in which we noticed M. Geoffrey-Saint Hi-
laire, who, forgetting the care of his health in his anxiety for the
Interests of whom, had constantly accompanied it till he approached
within a few leagues of Paris, and then only confided his poet toles
son, from his indisposition becoming too serious tra be neglected.
The cabinet of the Jardin des Plante was the first establish-
ment in Europe which possessed the skin of a cameleopard,
ethers not having procured any WI same time after. Since the
Roman conquests none have been brought to Europe alive, and
it seems, that it is rare even in Central Africa, its , native
country.. Thee which has bqen Bent ter measeies twelre fen

. It was a most singular sight to see it approoehldg Its new doell•
lag, with Its emote. of Egvpdane, gene-d'arsies and idlers. Its
elegant bead reached to the foliage of the chemist trees; its loaf
neck gracefully raw above the ahroog, and its well-set large black
eye was ailed with mildness and ley. Hassan and Atli, proud of
the beautiful aniniel their tototry had produced, had ornamented
its neck with a vast wreath of &mere, Deer width were suspended
several Arabian amulets. Theterwee in the whole sight something
which recalled to mind the Thoosind aid One Nights.
It has been lodged in the Orangery, with several of the other
Egyptian animals sent with it.
Yesterday it took its first walk. More than 10,000 persons have
been to view it, the public being admitted every day from ten to
twelve o'clock.
