ADJOINING THE POSTOFFICE.
BEGS to inform his Friends and Customers, that the daily
increasing support he meets with has compelled him to
enlarge his Establishment on a most extensive and splendid
scale, and that the additional Premises will be completed
and thrown open to their inspection on MONDAY next, the
13th August instant, when he will leave it to their liberality
and judgment to pronounce whether such an Establishment,
for convenience in the arrangements, simplicity in the fit-
tings up, richness and variety of the Stock, (of which the
greater part has been manufactured by him, or under his ouni
superintendence,) was ever before equalled in England or on
the Continent.

W. B. P.'s STOCK of the Best LONDON JEWEL-
LERY, consisting of Suits from Ell) to £6OO, Gold Chains,
Guards, Gold and Silver Snuff Boxes, &c. &c., in the great-
est variety, stands still unrivalled; and his Friends and the
Public in general will continue to find, by comparison, that
a large establishment like his must always, and in every
branch, offer the greatest advantages in price, quality, and
choice of Articles.

The Manufactory for DRESSING-CASES, WORK.
BOXES, JEWELLERY, LAMPS, and CHANDE-
LIERS is on the Premises, Church-street and Postoffic
place, and may to inspected at all times. W. B. P. employs
continually from forty to fifty first-rate Workmen, which
gives him the facility of executing Orders on the shortest
notice, and likewise the advantage of enabling him to war-
rant the superior quality and finish of his work in general.
W. B. P. also employs, in France and Geneva, a number
of Workmen for the Manufacture of CLOCKS and
WATCHES; and his great sale enables him to keep, on
his own Premises, clever finishers, for the purpose of exami-
ning and regulating before offering them for sale.
W. B. P.'s particular desire is to form an Establishment
on a scale of magnitude hitherto unknown, being well con-
vinced that kis great enterprise and continual perseverance
will meet with encouragement from his Friends and Patrons,and, further, that the attraction he offers will not fail to ob-
tain the favourable notice of the many distinguished Visitors
who frequent this important part of the Empire.

" Facts are stubborn things, and cannot be doubted."

WITHIN the last few years, we have heard much of the
intelligence, ability, and industry of Mr. THOMAS
FULLARD, of French Drove, near lhorney, introducing
into this country, from various parts of the Continent, such
Seed as was never before known, and which from its exten-
sive produce, has caused so much sensation that individuals
unknown to him questioned the fact whether such desirable
change and plant could be produced so essential to the tillers
of land ; that a feeling of this kind can exist is beyond doubt,
for almost every prophet was doubted and so has been the
gentleman in question; he fears not the sceptic, for "facts
are stubborn things," and he gave on Monday last, the 16th
instant, a general and public invitation to the most respecta-
ble, wealthy, and intelligent agriculturists to dine with him
at his own residence, to inspect the various lands sown with
the respective Wheats be intends to offer to the notice of gen-
tlemen of the soil during the approaching seed time; the
number in attendance was great, and after partaking of an
excellent repast and a glass of good cheer, proceeded to the
spot where these most prolific crops were exhibited, and not-
withstanding farmers were there from many counties, unani-
mously declared they were unequalled in appearance and
presented an undoubted character—that they would give an
increase in growth and appearance never before known; in-
deed they were dissatisfied with their own crops, and regretted
such seed had not before been known to them; amongst the
gentlemen of experience was William Tooley, Esq., of the
Abbey Farm, Crowland, who, independent of large landed
property of his own, in his own occupation, rents a thousand
pounds per annum of other parties; but Mr. Tooley is only
one of the great number: Mr. George Maxwell, late of Crow-
land, but now of Borough Fen, was so fully satisfied that he
immediately gave instructions to have much. of the seed; Mr.
John Maxwell, a neighbour of Mr. Fullard's, also desired to
have a supply; Mr. Wright Crane, of Thornev, near Peter-
born', fanner, of great experience—say forty-five years, and
residing within the lordship where Mr. Fullard lives, was so
fully assured of his ability to increase produce by selecting
proper seed, as to state that Rumour, with her ten thousand
tongues, as to the truth of what had been stated, was erro-
neous ; that he voluntarily declared Mr. Fullard's skill and
ability to be unequalled; only a very few are here selected
as the spectators, but all were unanimous; it was a blessing
that such a man was existing, to save his country from foreign
importation and famine. The Wheat exhibited and most
approved was his Britannia Waterloo White Wheat, inde-
pendent of many other descriptions. Mr. F. is also a grower
of Tares, which were much approved, and the gentlemen
present desired to have their lands sown with the same kind
of seed, and after inspecting the Wheat and Tares above al-
luded to, were shown a lot of superior Cream .coloured Beasts,
one of which is intended for the Queen's Christmas dinner
the present year, and the whole were much admired as a fine
specimen; Mr. Fullard also assured the meeting he had a
great demand for his Young Heifers of the same improved
breed of Short Horns.
The whole were very gratifying, and deserve the attention
of Farmers, Graziers, &T., in this neighbourhood and every
part of the country. " ONE PRESENT."

FOR&IGJJ IN7'ELLIGENCE:

FRANCE.
Some of the Freneh papers mention that the accouchement
of the Duchess of Orleans would. take place in the course of
next week, and that 30 cannons could be fired if the infant
proved to be a girl, and 120 if a boy, and that the title of such
Prince would be " Count of Paris_
Two comple44-4m444144e5„0f actilla*y,--furnished by the regi-
ment in garrison at 'Vincennes, are to be forwarded to the
northern frontier of France.

SPAIN.
A letter from Bayonne of August 3 says :—" Don Carlos
has ordered all the marines on the coast of Biscay to take up
arms in his favour; the order was issued on the Ist. He also
directs four armed trincadores at Berneo and other points of
the coast. This order was immediaiely carried into effect;
nevertheless some marines, being discontented, passed over
to Bilboa.

TURKEY AND EGYPT.
Constantinople letters of the 16th ult. state that the insur-
rection of the Druses had not vet been appeased; that it was,
on the contrary, gaining ground, and would probably end in
a general rising of Syria against the Egyptian army. The
Ottoman fleet best not proceeded beyond the Dardanelles up
to the 4th ult. The most warlike preparations occupied the
Porte. Two regiments of lancers are stated to have been dis-
patched at the latter end of the week ending the 15th ult.,
their destination being the division under the Seraskier, which
at this moment is on the very frontiers of Caramauia and
Syria, if it have not actually advanced into the Viceroy's ter-
ritory. A large quantity of ammunition and 6000 stand of
arms were also sent off on the 15th ult. for Angora, though it
was doubtful whether that was their real destination. The
exchange on London was at 1084.
We learn, 'via Marseilles, that Mehemet Ali's fleet quitted
the port of Alexandria on the morning of the 17th, consisting
of nine ships of the line, mounting 100 or 120 guns, five fri-
gates, five corvettes, six brigs, and a large steamer, in all 25
sail. Each ship had 4000 rounds of ammunition for her guns.
Mehemet Ali had not sailed with the fleet, as was his first in-
tention. The squadron was destined for the coast of Syria.
The Alexandrian correspondence, which brings this intelli-
gence, treats the chances of war between the two powers with
slight, and says no, such thine will occur.
The Journal de Smyrna of the 14th ult. publishes a letter
from Beyrout of the 27tb of June, announcing that the Ha-
ouran insurgents were still in the field, keeping in check the
imposing forces commanded by Ibrahim Pasha and Soliman
Pasha, and had been joined by a multitude of mountaineers
and deserters from the Egyptian camp. It was reported in
Beyrout that the Egyptian army had been completely beaten,
and suffered a considerable loss in a late engagement. Ibra-
him having gained a trifling advantage over the Druses, pur-
sued them in the hope of cutting them to pieces before they
could reach their fastnesses It appears, however, that on ar-
riving in the first defiles of Haouran, the fugitives rallied, at-
/ tacked with desperation their Egyptian pursuers, and made a
horrible slaughter of them. According to less exaggerated
accounts, the loss sustained by Ibrahim on that occasion
amounted to upwards of 6000 men. Others estimated it at
10,000. These may be erroneous, but all the reports agree in
representing it to have been very considerable. After this
sanguinary conflict, the Druses recovered their former posi-
tions, where they were collecting ammunition and provisions
of all kinds. Ibrahim, on the other hand, was preparing to
take a signal revenge for his defeat, and had sent to Aleppo
for large reinforcements. A chief of the Druses had decapi-
tated the Governor Reshlya.

GERMANY

Great preparations are making at Milan for the corona-
tion. Accord►ng to: the German papers, Genoa was not able
to supply the quantity of velvet necessary for hanging around
the cathedral, and 10,000 yards were got from England. An
English gentleman had paid £3OO sterling for an apartment
of four rooms on the Piazza. •
