Yesterday morning, about ten o'clock, his Royal High- ness the Duke of York left town for Newmarket. The Duke of Mciningen arrived in town yesterday mnerning about 10 o'clock. Shortly after, hiis Serene Highness left town to proceed to Dover, where he will em- bark on his way to Meiningen. Extract of a letter, dated Paris, Oct. 1':- " Thre statc of Spain, though very alarning, excites no attention here. Nevertheless, MI. de Villele, without having much time to think about the matter, is a good deal perplexed, and finds that he cannot now send thithler so large sumns of money as he used to do: on this account, lie pressed Al. Zea Ber- mudez very ti-uch when he wvas here, to endeavour to fint out some method of obtaining money for Spain. It is said that, in conseqgnence of this and of the state ot' Spain, the contract for a new loan was concluded at Madrid on the 29th ult." The Quotidienne, an ultra-royalist Paris paper, states that King Charles X., seeing the Duke of I- (most prob ibly Montmorency) at court, went up to him, and addressing hirn in the prcsence of all his courtiers, said, " You are the only one who asks me nothing, and yet you torment me the inost" If this anecdote be true, the King must be tortu- nate in having so modest a statesman, and the ex-Mlinister happy in having so conscientious a sovereign. It would be as well for France, we thir,k, that neither the modesty of the one nor the conscience of the other should be put to the proof of seeing the Duke again in office. lVe are assured, on the authority of a letter from Paris, that M. de Chateaubriand has declined the pension of 12,000 francs offered him by Charles X. on his acecssioni to the throne, as a reward for his pamphlet on tle late Kinhg's death. Papavoine, thernonster who comm-itted the double assas- sination at Vincennes, which we mnentioned a few days ago, is said to be the son of a manufacturer at Mouy, a Amall coinmune in the departinent ,df the Oise. During his father's life-tirn he served in thie navy, and at his tleath returned to hls native place to carry on the manufac- ture, to which he succeeded as a patrimiotny. His patrimo- nial property is said to have amounted to 70,000 fratics-a fortune which, in France, placed him above the commission of a crime from want. The indifferenice which he slioved, on being brought into the presence of his murdlered victims, is said to have deserted him durinif tile search of the rooin where he lodged: during the whoYe time of this examina- tion he evinced great uneasiniess. It is said, that several other individuals have been arrested in consequence ot' the inspection of his papers. Extract of a letter from the agent to Lloyd's at AMexico, dated 21st JUI :-" The Asatinac, AMexican schooner, had taken in a crew of 120 men at Campeachy, and had orders to cruise ofl Catouche for one month. About the 13th instant, an Americarn brig was captured near the castle of San Juan de Ulloa, supposcl to lhaye brought provisions from the Havannah. The sctooner Iuala has captured a schooner from New Orleans for the Castle. The gun-boat Chaelo has also detained, antl carried into Alvarado, a brig from Gibraltar. She was close under the castle of Ullea: her cargo is Spanish produoe. The precarious situation of the gar- rison ot the castle, from the scarcity of provisiens, and the number of sick, makes thoce prizes of great consequence." SIRs. HNtRY FAUNTLEtOY -(From a Corresponident.) -The unjust calumnies.and unfounded assertion, which have been circulated respecting this unfortunatc lady, have induced a particular friend of ber tafmily to. ay before the public the followinig facts:- She is the daughter of tje rate Captain John Young, R.N., Nvhlo for many years served his coumitry with distinguished bravery and ho- nour; and an intimacy having longsubsisted between his faiimily and thlat of the Fauntleroys, after his death, Air. H. Fauntleroy sue- ecedetd in gaining theafrections of Mliss Young andi a private mar- riage took place. When her brother discovcred thlC error she had been drawn into, he instantly demanded of 1Ir. Fauntleroy to ac- knowledge her as his wife, which he readily consented to do, but begged a sbort time rnight be allowed him for the arrangement of his affairs pievious to the acknowledgetent. During the interval whichi occurred, hisi rregularities being discovcred, Afrs. H. Faunt- leroy's family thought it advisable for her to separate from a man of such habits, and she has ever since lived under the protection of her mother. The proplriety of her conduct is the best testitmony that can be offered of her moral rectitude and virtue, and must in the end defeat the efforts of malevolence and slander. INUN1)AT1ONS,-EFrom the Doncaster Gazette.]- There has not been, -we believe, in the memory of the eldest in- habitant, so rapidtaqd extensive a flood in this neighbouthood as the inundation caused bv the late rain, and we fear much damage has been the result. We very well recollect after the breaking up of that great frost in the month of February, 1795, the flood then was considered the largest that had ever been known, but the water at that time was impeded in its progress by large shoals of ice, and the dry bridge work of the town was not then built, consequently there were fewer outlets. In thie present instance there has been no ob- struction of its passage; snd the- rain from its continuance (fre- quently falling in torrents) soon caused the banks of the Don to overflow, Isprcading far and wide, with eagfer rapidity, the land contiguous, to the extent of several miles, an leaving ii many cases the owners of cattle and other efflects no chance of getting of t' their proerty. The cellars and- lowrer floors of mang of the houses in aarshgate have b4ir,completely inundated, and the inhabitants of them compelled to' etire their chambers. In onc of the cottages the wster rose abore the heights of the tables. Horses have been towed across the river in the boats, and catde drawn over by ropes affixed to their hornts. In a close adjoining the bridge, and near the Dispensary, a quantity of roots and earth was thrown out of a large pond, and adhering together, presented a curious spectacle, forming three floating islands with a verdant surface. The flood has been very destructive to the game in this neighbourlhood. WVe are as- sured there will be considerable losses sustained in the washing away of potatoes' bea4si'and other property. At Rotherhabn, we un- derstand, 10 acrls of beans have been lost; and a large quantity of timber, the property af'J. Fullerton, Esq., of Thryberg, was waslhed down the current, btut, as it is mnarked,--there is a probability of its being restoredr- The town of Sw-intonYfor-some days has been com- pletely hemmed in, but the watel, bad fahlcir so much yesterday as to enable roersons on botseback to ef'dect a passage. The works of MEessrs.'Cjreen alid Co.- at the Don Pottery, have been for some lays interrupted. MsgcSt dlamatge has beern done by the water.
