WVe quote the followiing paragraph from a Prench jour- nal :-" The mnaster hairdressers of the Society of St. Louis are to celebrate to-day a funeral service ror the re- pose of the soul of his late MIajesty Louis XVIII." The Rtreets of London, perhaps, never v.were in a more dirty and disgraceful state than they are at present-the principal thoroughfares are in many places almost impass. able. The Strand, after having been blocked up for more thani a month to be repaved, is at length re-opened, and the carriage-way is even worse thani it was before the repair (as we suppose it must be called): it is full of immense holes, forming receptacles fbr mud, to the annoyance of the foot passengers, and endangering the lives of all who pass in carriages.

One of the granti dignitaries has been massacred by t'hese barbarians; others are threatened with the sanie fate. D1. Alinziacky, therefore, persists in liviog as a mnere private individual. The issue of the campaign, so disastrous to the Porte, greatly embarrasses the diploinatic body. It scenis that they hadi calculated on the idea that thle Orceks would be overpowered: their complete triunmph, therefore, deranges xsanv combit3tions. Nobody, however, apprehends that open bostilities Will result from this. Letters fron Snmyrna say that the Pacha of Syria is in complete insurrection against the Porte.

A inail arrived yesterday from Buenos Ayres, with letters to the 26th of June. By this packet hag come passenger M. fRVAI)AVIA, through whose wiscadministration for the last four years that State has been enable(d to make sRAch rapid advances in prosperity. He wvas in fact at the hcad of the Governmnent, though he bore only the title of Prin- cipal Secrctary or State. It is said that IM. RIVADAVItA hNu entirely ciosed his political career *vith his resignation of his late office, antI that he intends to retire to private life; but it is obvious that his residtence here or in any part of Europe rnay, by the very general knowledge of, and Gonfidence in, his character, be tmade productive of great good to Bucnos Ayres, as well as to the grcat cause itself oflSoutl Atnerican inflopendencc. 'I'hc fol- lowing is an extract. from the Buenos Ayres paper entitled ThLe Arqos, of the 23d of Jtnc, which cat-eby thc snme con- veyance:-"Among the various articles of intelligence coin- municated from Salta by the last courier, wlho arrived at the end of the preceding week, is the report that in Cabija, a port of Atacama, had disembarked General MIILLER, belonging to the Army of Independence, with the title of General of the Vanguard. In this army werc expected 2,SOO destined to act against the Royalist General Ot.ANETA. It is positively stated, likewise, that Brigadier ESPARTERO, the par- tieular friend of General LA SERNA, anl mnuch co:1]- promise(d in the plans of command in which that Ge- neral insists, under contlition of playittg tlte prin- cipal part, ha(d embarked under pretext of procee(ling to Spaini, but with the real object of going to another qiiarter to combine plans of importance. By the same convoy it is communicated, that the Constitutional General VAL.DE7, having been much weakened in Mora, had been conducted to La Paz, where he died in a few days. If this newvs be true, OLAN ETA has lost one of his principal rivals, FERDINAND VII. one of his greatest enemies, and the cause of independence one of its most zealous supporters."

Yesterday we received lettcrs from Paris by express, dated Monday evering. In one of them is quoted a cu- rious declaration of the King of SPAIN, in relation to tht CJonstitutional Loans, who is reported to have said, on being pressed to recognize them, even at some fractional part of their nominal value, that he would prefer " eating 5 black bread, to acknowledging thome securities to be worth a single mararedi." His obstinate resolution on this point is supposed to have been -well understood by the Spanish Ambassador iu Paris, previous to the departure of those persons who repaired to Madrid to become competitors for the new contract, as he is said to have remarked to some of those who consulted him on the subject, that all proposals of that nature were wholly useless. It is a curious fact, that one set of contractors had determined on presenting tenders for a loan to the Spanish Government at 75, provided tbat the Consti- tutional bonds ivere made receivable at 1.5 per cent. only. The rejection of this offer proves that the annuUing those securities is made a point of honour, and not of financial economy, by the Spanish Court, siuce they can scarcely hope, in the present state of the country, to con- tract for a loan so high as 60 per cent., which, ac- cording to the above plan, would be the amount to be paid them in money. It seems that the negotiations at Madrid have raised the hopes of the noted M. GUEDHARiJ and his adherents, who are now endeavouring to force what are termed the " Royal Bonds" into circulation, for which lie possesses powers to the extent of 16,000,000 of dollars, in the expectation that these must be made,receivable far be- yond their present value in any new contract that may be entered into. From these respective causes the state of Spanish finance becomes every day more desperate, and the period appears not to be far distant when the dependents of the Spanish Court, if not the Monarch himself, may be re- luced to the meagre diet to which he has (levoted himself, rather than perform an act of ublie justice.

F,From the Chester Chronicle'of Friday.1 The time at ALr. Sadler's ascent fiom Liverpool being announced in the papers of that town to take place at hali-past two o'clock this day, our city walls, from the Phtenix-tower, round to the W1'ater- tower, were crowded with anxious spectators, as were the tower of St. John's charch, and almost every point likely to catch a view of tbc aeronauts. A few minutes after four o'clock the impatience of the multitude was allayed, by the appearance of the baUoon apparently just above the horizon, in a direction a little east by no.rh of this city, and ap- parently about eight or ten miles distant. The'travellers continued in view above an hour and a half, and certainly a more sublime scene has seldom been witnessed. About a quarter past five o'clock the balleon appeared,to be on the gradual descent, and at halfpast five all view of it from this city was lost bv theintervention of the woods about Eloole and, Tratlord. The arrivil Df thenorEh mail brought usir4ormation that the descent took place in some meadows beyond Bridge Tridlford, about four miles frcna this city. It was accomplisbed without any diffiulty ; and ebaises being imiiediately despatched from hence, Mr. Sadler and Mir. Peel, with the balloon, proceeded directly to Liverpool. The day was very ravonrable; there was but little wind, and the aeronatits were about anhour and three quarters making a voyage of not more than la miles in a direct linie. QUIARTER ANTE NINE P. as.-._Mr. Sadler and Lieut. Peel have JUSt passed through this city from theAlbionMotel, in a.chaise and four, on their way tO Liverpool, amidst the' cheers of some thousands assembled. Mr. Sadler informs us the ascent from Li- verpool was superb: wvhen over Hooton-house, the seat of Sir Tho. mnas Stanley, they dropped a note. Their aLpproach altogether wvas in direct line for Lhester but whem neHasr oon, ^ new current. of ind took place,which urried theoiun sterl'direction. The 3reatcst altitude they attained was about a mile. ASCENT OF MKR. SADLER FROM LIVERPOOL,

The Arihives Cencroles de AMedecine for August, whicth we have jUSt received, contains at additional instance of the encroachments on the liberty of the press, instituted by the Bourbons. Not content with establishing a censorship over tihose journals which are purcly literary in their objects, they liave extendled it to those of a scientific nature, and have expungel a whole page of letter-press in the pe- riodical above reierrel to-one oftlie best on medical literature which issues from the Parisian press. This oage consisted of the follow- ing letter fromn the Prefect of the Poficc, with the answer of the Editor :_ LETTER FROM TliE PREFECT OF POlICE TO T'ItE ElTOR- INs-CHssts OF TseE " ARCHtIVES." " Sir,-An orlinance of the King, of tile 15th of this month, in- serted in the Bulletin of the Laws, pots in force the laws of thc 31st of March, If'20, anl of the 2(ith of Julv 1821, relative to the censorship on journals ant periodical wvorks.' T'le journal which you conduct comes under this ordinanee; and I theretore request of you to send a proof' of each number to the Ilotel for the general di- rection of the police, in order that it may be examined, and appr ed of if necessary." The following is the ob.jectionable comment on the above letter:- " WVe know not what thie censors can expect to tind in a medical journal, unless there be amongst tlhem some physician who is de- sirous of reviving the decree of Parliament wllich prolhibited the ad- ministration of emetic tartar. But, hiowvever it may have been, the happy idea of placing the sanctuary of tlle sciences under thle Eewis of the police could only have originated from a strong hlead. Let us hope that, sooner or later, the Academiiy of Sciences will knowv how to appreciate so brilliant a conception.." FRENCH CENrSORSUfIP.
