that Lord Anglesey would attend Though he
was not personally abused, the performance was
interrupted throughout by cries for the repeal OF
the Union. aud the great bulk OF the audience
continued to cheer for that measure. After the
Lord Lieutenant retired. at the conclusion Of the

observed that if Lord nslesev was the true friend

the reception of the Russian Ambassador, Pozzo
di Borgo, by the King of the French, on occasion
of the Minister'S presenting his letters ofcredence,
was of the warmest and most cordial kind. The
Count lisa old personal acquaintance of the King.
The Emperor OF Russia desired his ambassador to
assure the King Of his most favorable attachment,
as we'll as his strongest desire to cooperate with
him in maintaining the general peace of Europe.
Pozzo iii Borgo was afterwards received by the
Queen and the Younger branches of the royal
family. The King had also received recent COM
munications from the Austrian court, which
breathe the spirit of peace; and all those who
have confidential access to the palace are desired
BY the ROYAL family to disseminate the assurance,
that there is the best reason to believe that the
peace of Europe will not be disturbed. The Duke
de Mortemart set out for st. Petersburg on Sun
dav week.
The Courier Francois says that at meeting
of Deputies very numerously attended in the
re de Richeiieu, it was almost unanimously re-
solved to support in the Chamber the necessity
of making the number of electors at least 200 900;
of fixing the qualification at 600 francs; and COM
plotting the colleges Of the departments in which
that qualification would not give the desired
number of electors. by establishing minimum,
and admitting other qualifications; such as pro-

On the 14lh, the King of France held Cuun-
Gil of Ministers, which sat in deliberation from
O'Clock until half past 10 O'Clock. The next
day he transacted business with the Minister of
Foreign Affairs and the Minister of Marine, and |

was the Minister of the United States.
The embarrassments of the great house of La |
little & Co of Paris, have been a leading topic |
with the commercial letters, and the subject of !
general conversation on Change. One thing is |
certain; that the affairs of the house are being
wound up, and that the minister IS about to re- |
tire from any further share in it. The result of |
such liquidation is necessarily matter of uncer-
tanty. and on that head the statements so far diff
