The French papers of Mlonday have reached us. The Etoile brings the report of the Comimittee of the Chamnber of Peers on the law for the reduction of the five per cents. The Committee, respect. ing whose opinion some doubt had e;isted, havereported in favour of the plan, being unanimously of opinion that the right of paying off the rentiers belongs to the Ration, the majority thinking also that the proposed plan is advantageous. The Committee stated also, that they had received a communication from the bankers who had form- ed the agreement withi the Finance .'inizter, announcing that they were ready, on certain modifications of the conditions of their con- tract, to give for five years the one per cent., which will be cut off from the income of the lowest des ription of stockholders.

Letters have been received from the city of Mexico, dated the 24th of MIardh. The enterprise of Iturbide was at that time talked of as an event expected, and the proba. bilities of a successful issue were often the suibject of dis- cussion. We should infer from these accounts, that he Fill- have the support of a very-powcrful party in that counatry, among whom will be found some of ihe very men who are, to appearance, at the headof the Government. Mi- chelena, who has been appoinited on the mission to England, had not left the capital.

The sentinel at Storey's.ate. observing the bag, says to him, " You can't pass through here with that bag." The young man retired, took out the two small frames, put therm inside his cat bosom, folded up his small blue bag, aad placed it inside tme crown of' his hat, and thean artemeted to pass through; but this was l1so objected to bv thesentinel on duty, who told oar man thathe knew he had those things abosat himn ! compelling him to take a ctrcuit(sus route through Parliament-street, Charing-cross, Pall-mall St. James's.street. to Albemsrle.-etre,,t Thix,, -;,',' sh . 31 IERS and FT F.J. .1- l- wTl 711_. tioncity, ilnn t August, LIM4.

[Ar)VERT1SE DfErT.I TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMIES.

I beg to observe, that there is no suc. cormpany as the South Lam beth; antl being apprehensive that the censure of the worthy magis. trate may bc supposed to apply to the South London Water Works oampany, from the circumstance of their reservoirs being in the vicinity of South Lambeth, I consider it sav duty to correct the error, and to state, that althourh the main of the Sourh London Water Works iS within a shurt distance of the spot where the fire happened, our Company is not permtitted to supoly water itn anv part of St. George's-fields, the lIambeth U'ater Works having, bi act of Par^ Jiament, the privilege to supply the whole of that populous dibtrict. including the WVes-minster and Blackfriars ra2dM A-, L arn yours. &c2 NVILLIAM1 HEATH Clerk. - ---------I--------- ?, , ?Ug. .11 ""A I'Elf UCUMPAN'IZS.

We received yesterday, papers and letters from Lisbon up to the 29th -alt. T1he intelligence which they bring is of no great or general interest. In the Lisbon CGazette of the 25th, it isstated that our Ambassador, Sir WI. A'COURT, had arrived on the preceding day with his suite, and had paid his respects to the Portuguese Minister for Foreign Affairs. His Excellency has now nearly completed the circle of the southern Courts, having embraced in his di. plomatic experience a nmore. extensive range of striking events, and witnessed a greater variety of new and old Governments, than any individual of his corps.' He com- menced his interesting career at the Court of the Dey of TmIPOLT,whichfitted him for admiring and encouraging the establishment of civil liberty in Sicily and Naples. His services during the existence of the Constitutional Go- vernment, and the progress of the Austrian invasion of Naples, where he sa'w the representative system over- thrown by foreign bayonets, pointed him out das a fit envoy to Madrid,wkere that system still existedl, but was menaced with a similar fate. Having'had it in his power once mnore to congratulate an absolute BO'uB.so,- in Spain, he is sent to Portugal, where a constitution 'had already been over- thrown without his aid, and where a new one is promised, probably contrary to his wish. Ail edueation beguh in Africa, and so pursiued along the Mediterranean and southern states, should end at Constantinople. The cause of Greek independence may yet require the interference of his practised dexterity. The Lisbon Gazette of the 28th ult. contains a lamentation over the death of Louts XVIII., in whomr France is said to have " lost a father, and Europe a sage." As France seems happily to have surmoun ted her misfortune by obtaining a still dearer father, we hope Europe will be soon able to eonsole herself for her's, in the hope of seeing a Sovereign with as much wisdom. The reason why Louis XVIII. was so ,great a favourite, at Lisbon, seems to be a report that " on ,"his death-bed he turned his thoughts towards Portuga!, 'i and expressedhis regard to his Mlost Faithful MAJESTY." This, no doubt, is a very amiable misrepresentation-but still it is one. Louis, on his death-bed,. surrouLided with his priests an4 ministers, and physicians, and comurtiers, and family, had other things to think of than Portugal or its King. His Faithful MAJESTY, whom lie had never seen, was to him an alstraction, and could no more be ex- pected to occupy his reflections thani the King of SIAIS, or the Emperor of CiixWA. A subecription is sai(l to. be forming at Lisbon, under the countenanec of the Court, and with the encouragement of the Ministers, in aid of " the Brazilians who seek shel- " ter in Portugal from revolutionary violence.". Can this be a step towards a reconciliation and a treaty of union between the two states ? or is it niot rather like the conduct of France, in receiving anld supporting the Spanish rebels, who were styldI the Arnmy of the Faith ?

Sir,-As the public liberality arid sympathiy is at present very generally, and certainly in a very praisevorthy man- ner, directed towards the various descriptions of expatriated and suff'ring foreigners now in this metropolis, it becomes the more necessary that an abuse of so good a feeling and lisposition shonld be guarded against, by making known any of this class of persons that mav, by their Fniscotaduct, have rendered themselves unworthy of public commi- seration. In your paper of yesterday, I perceive in the Mansion- house report, an application by a foreigner to the Lord Mayor under circumstanlces wlich (if nothing stood in the way) would entitle him to the sympathy and relief of Englisli-nen ; but I shou]d wish to know if this personi be the sarne " Edmund Angelini, a teacher of languages," who uwas some weeks ago accused and held to bail at MIarl- borough-street police-office, upon a charge very repugnant to the national feeling in this country. l zn ; rl ha;n pve* A FRIEND TO FdREIGNERS IN DISTRESS.

Accounts were received yesterday of the arrival of the Lion cutter at Sacrificios, an island situated a few leagues !from the shore of Mexico, on the 27th of April, baving on board the first remit tance to the Mexican Gevernment on account of the loan negotiated in this country. Two gen- tlemen, supposed to be deputed by the contractors for that purpose, had landed at Alvarado, and proceeded from thence to Mexico with despatches relative to the loan. The arrival of the Lion at Sacrificios, where it was unnderstood that vessel was to remain until fuarther orders were trans- mitted from the coast, had excited some alarm and suspi- cion at Alvarado, wlhich is only worthy of notice as tending to show how much the Mexican Government was on the ialezt to frustrate any machinations that might be contrived against them. The letters from Alvarado, w hich ar6 dated the 2d of May, confirm the fact of General BkAvo's having been appointed Supreme President.
