Government so far as they can do so with
good conscience. A suitable admonition is al
so given to the youth OF their congregations,
and especially those who are engaged as com.
mercial travellers, ,cautioning them against
conformity to the world. Finally, there Is
powerful appeal to the Friends to extend theI
charity and bounty more literally to the SICK
and poor Of every sect in their respective heign-
borhoods.
The weather in the French capital had been
oppressively hottie mercury rising to Ninety
two degrees Of Fahrenheit.
The following is an additional account OF the
hurricane at Bayonne and vicinity, gwen un-
der date of July 9th. On Monday last one OF
the most terrific storms ever remembered Droke
out at Bergara and its vicinity. The lnhaoi-
tants were thrown by it into the utmost conster-
nation; many lost their lives, and those VINO
survived are doomed TO misery and ruin. Fifty
persons of the town, who were in the street, ana
twenty-siX houses were carried away by the
torrents, which destroyed every thing on their
passage. At Elcheialata one hundred and two
houses were levelled to the ground by the i'm
petuosity Of the food, and the number OF per-
sons who persisted in the village must be i'm
mense AtPlacentia thrty-siX individuals, head
ed by the parish priest, who were proceeding TO
the chapel to be present at a marriage cereino-
nv, were overtaken by the inundation, and all
of them were drowned. Three monks OF the
friary of that place, having obstinately refused
to quit it in spite of the entreaties OF their
friends, were buried under its ruins A noun
tain near Prudential which is crossed by the
royal road was partly carried away and deep
precpce now exists at its base. The water in
many villages rose to the height of twelve or
fifteen feet above the ground. Two huge stones
are the only vestige that remains of an extensive
water mill. A cart loaded with iron has totally
disappeared. Along the coast of Bayonne dead
bodies, trunks OF trees, and cattle are hourly
thrown up by the sea.
The difficulties which delay the marriage Of
Prince Leopold, Of Sicily, with the Princess
Mary, second daughter of the King of the
French, arose, it is said, from the pretenslons
advanced on the one hand relative to the dow
ry, and on the other to the appanage OF the roy
al bridegroom II seems that King Louis Phi
lip insists that the income Of the Viceroy OF ST.
CITY, which is'only between 100000 and 3OO,O0o
francs, should be increased to 100000, equal
to the income allowed by the reignng King to
his uncle, the Prince Salerno. According to
letters from Naples, Ferdinand is inclined to
yield on this point; but he meets with much OPP
position on the part Of his Council, especially with
the Minister for Foreign Affairs who is the declar-
ed adversary of the royal family of France.
SPAIN.
The papers, with one accord speak Of the
appearance Of Don Carlos upon the northern
frontier of Spain, as fact no longer question
ed. He did not, however, as was hrst stated,
proceed in a steam-vessel from Portsmouth, but
through France. The spreading Of cholera
near the capital is again spoken OF; and the i'll
ness of the Queen There is nothing, however,
in the two latter reports to justify the suppose
ton that they will lead to the postponement OF
the meeting Of the Cortes; and with respect to
Don Carlos, should he really show himself at

Queens forces soon giving good accout OF
him. The incident will, however, be produc-
tive Of this good to Spain-that it will incline
the Government the more to liberal measures,
in order 10 secure the support OF the constltu
tional party; and many friends Of that cause in
London are prepared to expect, as conse-
grence Of the arrival of Carlos, an invitation
to General Nina TO take the command OF the
army in that quarter.
Il is said that Don Carlos had obtained
from France, 100000, for the purpose of
carrying into effect his designs of Introducing
war and deSolaton into the Peninsula. A let
ter was received from him, dated July 10th, at
Elsondo, at which time he had not only avow-
ed himself but was to present himself to the
Junta, on the 18th, as the King of Spain.
General Rodil reached Pampeluna on the
9th of July, with 5000 men, but if as is reported
his officers and men are favorable to Don Car.
los, their arrival will only add to the strength OF
the Queens enemies.

RUSSIA.
Advices from ST. Petersburg, are to the I'd Of
July. The report of an intended journey of the
Emperor to the Crimea, is contradicted, as also
the rumor that Persian province had been &C.
cupied by the Russian troops.
The colossal figure of an angle in bronze, af-
ter model in the Imperial Academy of Scien-
ces, has been placed on the Alexander column.
The solemn conservation of this Incompatible
monument will positively take place on the 30th
