By letters received yesterday from Havre, it appears that the Haytian dcputies are about to leave France immedi- ately, having abandoned all hopes of prevailing on the French Government to recognize the independence of St. DomDingo. Extract of a letter, dated Zante, July f :-" We have the pleasure to say, that the advices from all quarters are of the most satisfactory nature, as respects the afFairs of Greece. The Government is conipletely re-established, and in quiet possession of Napoli di Remania. Coloco- troni, an(d the other Chiefs who were opposed to it, have submitted; and it appears to us, that they are only in wvant of the money, or even some part of it, to enable them to take very decisive measures of defence against the threat- ened attacks of the Turks by sea and land. By a vessel arrived from Hydra, we hear that the Greek squadron was ready for sea, they having raised a temporary loan for that purpose." Advices have been received from Maranham to the 27th of June. The peace of the place had not, we ubderstand, been disturbed since, the sanguinary commotions which broke out in the beginning of the month. The pubhc mind seemed to be settling down into a state of tranquillity. By a Danish ship of war advices were received yesterlay from the island of St. Thomnas, dated the lbth of July. This vessml is stated to have sailed four days subsequent y to the packet, whieh has not yet arrived, but brings no news of importance. All was quiet at Lapayra on the 30th of June. By accounts from Bogota, dated May 27, it was stated, that the Colombian Governmenit had drawn bills on Mr. Hurtado to the amount of 5o,oool., in anti- cipation of money to be raised iu this country. Intelligence of his contract could not have reached Bogota. The Victoria, Captain Forbes, has arrived in the river, having sailed t'rom AMorant Bay, Jamaica,-on the 22d of June. The captain states, that tranquillity had been restored in Hanover, and in the adjacent parishes.

We have published from the Irish papers, the very re- markable trial of Patrick and James Maniane, and John Greene, at Limerick assizes, for the murder of MiIajor Hare. All the prisoners wvere found guilty. Tl'he independent burgesses of Colchester are on the alert to moale the necessary arralgesoents to secure the independence ?f the borough at the next General Election, whlich will take place in the course of next year. H vn ao Pitos IA.-The Philadelphia authorities, in pro- tecting the citizens from hydrophobia, have ordered all the dogs to be taken up and imprisoned. The dogs arrested are put into a prison built for that purpose, where those who desire it may for five dollars a piece redeem their dogs. The law of the territory of Arkansas on the subject of duielling 13 very strong and alear.

In repairing the interior of the Texnple Neuf, at Stras- burg, there was discovered on the walls, a series of paintings, re. prceenting the dance of the dead, similar to those heretofore seen at Basle. They also appear to be of the lath century. A short tise ago, as;-the Countess of Clarendon was walking in her park, in Hertfordshire, accompanied by her Lady- ship's sister. they were attacked by an Indian bull, which had been some years; feedmg with the deer and other cattle, and considered perfectly quiet. The bull ran after these ladies for full a quarter of a mile, b. lowing and throwing up the ground in the most vicious J*mper: he had come so near to them, that one of the 3adies bad got her sh;J*1 ready.to tbrow at him as a Lsst resource. When al most dead w;ith fatigue by running, they rearhed a stable, into which rhey escaped.
