the pistol was diverted from its aim,
by soipe means, and the ball entered

Green-,he latter then drew dirk, and
stabbed John Bragg in the neck, cut

The ship Orleans, Captain Sears,
arrived this morning from Havre. She
brings Us papers TO the 18th July.
Much attention had been given in
Paris TO a semi-officiaI account that
the entrance to the Black Sea had been
refused to French vessel, having a
Government Messenger on board, on
the ground that, by treaty, Russia had
the exclusive privilege of navigating
that sea, An English vessel, having
on board British Envoy to the Court
of Trebesond, has also been refused a
passage. What renders this affair Of
more importance in the eyes of the
French politicians, is, that on the 17th
June only, Lord Palmerston being in>
terrogated in the House Of Commons
on the secret clauses Of the treaty Of
Adrianople, replied, that be had no
knowledge of any such secret clauses !;
but that if there were any, England
would not recognize them.
There appears to have been an in.
surrectionary movement at Saragossa,
made by the republican party, but we
find no details in relation to it among
the papers in our possession, which are
not in regular order, 10 consequence of
the Orleans being transient ship.
