LONDON, MAY 24. PT^HE Paris papers of Thursday and Friday are JL chiefly occupied with remarks on the character of the late Marquis Lafayette, who, as announced in pre- vious journals, expired on Tuesday morning. The ensemble is honourable, most honourable, to him. Rec- titude of principle-incorruptible integrity—consistency ■—courage—sagacity—eloquence—frankness, yet the extreme of politeness—liberality in polemics, but with immoveable religious sentiments—such are a few of the admirable qualities summed up by the journalists, of all shades of opinion, as belonging to the illustrious de- ceased. The venerable General was born on the 1st of September, 1757, and consequently wanted little more than three months to complete the age of 77. The wopdrous,seenes in both the New World and the Old, in which the name of Lafayette was prominently dis- tin giiislied-tlie veteran of the Monarchy—of the American Republic—of the French Revolution-of the Consulate—of the Restoration—and the grand promoter of the accession to the Throne of France of the present dynasty—are among the most remarkable in the annals of mankind; and it may safely be averred (without en- tering into abstract opinions on political doctrines) that history does not in all her records possess a name which has passed through the searching ordeal of public opinion, even in the darkest and most tempestuous times, more pure and unsullied than his whose death his country is called upon to deplore. The funeral took place on Thursday, and from the public character of tliq deceased, both as a Member of the Chamber of Deputies and a General, was invested by the Govern- ment with all the imposing pomp which the attendance Z, of numerous bodies of military never fail to give to processions of this description, and of the National Guards, who came forward in immense numbers to join in giving effect to this parting act of homage to their venerable colleague. The hearse was decorated with twelve tri-coloured flags, three at each corner; it was surmounted by plumes, and had the letter L on various parts of the drapery, and was drawn by four black horses. He was preceded by muffled drums, deputa- tions from various legions of the National Guards of Paris and the Banlieue, the 61st regiment of the line, and a regiment of red lancers, and succeeded by the Deputations of the Chambers of Peers and Deputies, and from various public bodies of foreigners, particu- larly Americans and Poles. Four of the Royal car- riages, three private ones of the General, followed by another regiment of Lancers, seven private carriages, Z, and a body of Municipal Guards wound up the proces- sion. The religious part of the ceremony was performed in the church of the Assumption, the parish church of the deceased General, and the interment took place in the private burying-ground of Piepus, within the walls of Paris, where the General was laid by his own re- quest in the same grave with his wife and mother-in-law. It was .also attended by a very large portion of the po- pulatiou of the capital. The procession, notwithstanding the immense crowd of which it was formed, and which continued increasing as it went along the Boulevards, was conducted with exemplary regularity and order, and the day passed off without any commotion. M. Persil, General Sebastiani, and M. Duchatel, who had, on accepting their new official appointments, va- cated their seats- in the Chamber of Deputies, have been re-elected. M. Persil was hard pressed, however, by his opponent, the Due de Fitz James, the former having had only a majority of 19 votes over the latter. The Chamber of Deputies voted on Tuesday the Budget of receipts, including a power to the King to reduce by Royal Ordonnance, during the prorogation of the Chambers, the import duties on certain articles of fo- reign produce or manufacture. The business of the Session being completed, the Chamber adjourned sine d™* The Moniteur of Tuesday contains the official ap- pointment of Admiral Jacob to the Ministry of Marine, Admiral Roussin having refused the office, and requested to be allowed to remain in Constantinople. The Che- valier de Lima presented his credentials on Saturday last to King Louis Philip, as Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of her Majesty Donna Maria, Queen of Portugal. Baron Werther, the Prussian Ambassador to the Court of France, is said to have no- tified to that Court that his Government had formally refused its assent to the separation of Neufchatel from the Swiss Cantons. Arrests are going on at Paris, n .ayi<^ in other parts. Seven students of the St. Cyr Military College have been imprisoned, a plot, connected with, the late disturbances having, it is said, been discovered in the establishment. The news received in Paris from Madrid comes down to the 13th inst. The Madrid Gazette of the lltli inst. published a circular, addressed by the Minister of r inance to the Collectors of the Customs, by which the independence of Brazil is all but directly acknowledged k n ~*overnment of Spain. In Biscay and Navarre the Larlists were said to be in great force, and strong enough .to defy the Queen's troops now in those pro- vinces. General Leydet, a Member of the French Chamber of Deputies, was on Monday last unexpec- tedly ordered to proceed to take the command of his brigade of the Army of Observation of the Pyrennees- a circumstance which occasioned some uneasiness in Paris. A letter from Aranjuez states that M. Sar- mento, the Portuguese Envoy had officially communi- fif 10*1° Spanish Government, on the morning of the 13th, the ratification by Don Pedro of the Quadri- partite Treaty for the pacification of the Peninsula. The Espoir brig of war Lieut. Riley, arrived at Falmouth on Wednesday from Lisbon, whence she sailed on the evening of the llthwith mails and de- spatches, the latter from our Ambassador, Lord Ho- ward de Walden. They are judged to be of impor- tance, from the circumstance of the Espoir being sud- denly ordered to proceed to England, after orders had been given for her detention till the 14th. Whether the despatches announce the ratification of the Treaty by the Constitutional Government, or that Miguel is disposed to come to terms, is unknown to the Com- mander but a report of the latter was circulated in Lisbon at the time of the Espoir's. leaving. It was also stated, on the contrary, that Don Carlos and Miguel would retire on Elvas, which has been provi- sioned for 3 siege of five months. Coimbra, it appears by these accounts, was evacuated on the 7th, the gar- rison marching out at ten p. M. On the 8th the Duke ot Terceira took possession of it with his forces, and was then joined by the Spanish General Rodil, ac- companied by. about 3000 troops. During the entry of the Portuguese and Spanish forces into Coimbra they were received with the greatest degree of enthusiasm by the inhabitants. Repeated cheers and vivas for Donna Maria II., with a display of colours and deco- rated arches, marked the welcomeness of the event. From the South of Portugal it appears that the Mi- guelites have shewn themselves in considerable bodies. On the 5th they attacked Bernardo de Sa, in his posi- tion at Faro, but were completely repulsed, with the loss of between 300 and 400 men. It was believed that the attack of the 5th would prove Miguel's last effort to obtain possession in the South. The Espoir called off Oporto on the 14th,. The Lieutenant reports that the North was completely cleared of Miguelites, and appearances throughout were tranquil. According to the A ugsbui-g Gazette of the 17th inst., the Courts of Vienna and Berlin are very highly dis- pleased at the liberty that the Spanish Government is about to take in sending an army into Portugal. The Prussian Ambassador in Madrid has received orders to quit Spain in consequence. Accounts from Algiers say, that on the 21st, as well as on the 29th ult., a sortie was made from Bona, of 400 men, who attacked the Kabiles, and completely routed them each time. The enemy does not appear, however, to have been entirely got rid of, for he had contemplated another attempt on Bona on the 1st of May, which he is said not to have executed. Letters from Constantinople dated the 18th of April announce that Mehemet Ali has refused to pay up the half-yearly portion of the tribute due to the Sultan, unless he agreed to certain degrading propositions. These were rejected with indignation, and a renewai of hostilities was expected to foltow as an immediate consequence. By the last accounts from America, we learn, that the difficulties which have hitherto pressed exclusively on the commercial, are now extending themselves to the agricultural interests of the United States. A number of petitions had been presented to the Legislature, com- plaining of the depression in the price of grain, and attributing it to the recent tampering with the monetary system. The discussions in the Senate on the Protest of the President, are not yet concluded; but it is not difficult to anticipate that the result wilkbe unfavourable to that officer, whose conduct is pronounced by many of the speakers to be a direct infringement on the constitution. Accounts from South America to the middle of Jan. announce the outbreak of another civil war in Peru. The Presidency of General Gamarra having expired, three candidates were proposed, one being favored by the late President, in the hope, it is said, of preventing any inquiry into his own mal-administration; the others, by parties in the Senate. During the election, all the arts of party intrigue and the resources of faction were resorted to, but eventually a General Orbegoso was chosen. This person took the customary oaths, and was recognized by the Senate and Foreign Ministers. Subsequently, however, the influence of Gen. Bermudez, an unsuccessful candidate, but a creature of the late President, prevailed with the army, and Orbegoso was obliged to fly from Lima, and take refuge in the Castle of Callao, of which he possessed himself by a bold sur- prise. There he remains in a state of siege, Bermudez being at the head of the troops at Lima. The rivals do not appear to be very unequally matched as to military force, and the result of the contest is still doubtful. The British Consul has extorted from both a pledge respect- ing British persons and property at Lima and Peru.

Thursday being the first day of Trinity Term, the Judges breakfasted with the Lord Chancellor, and after- wards went in procession to Westminster, and opened their respective Courts. In the Court of King's Bench Mr. Ser- jeant Heath took his seat within the Bar, having been ap- pointed one of his Majesty's Counsel. Their Majesties will go in grand state to each of the four musical performances in Westminster Abbey. The directors will wear full court dresses, but the company will only be expected to wear the usual morning dresses, conse- quently feathers will not be worn. We understand that our Government have sent out to Chili the acknowledgment of the independence of that Republic, and that Colonel Walpole, who has proceeded to Chili as the representative of this country there, is the bearer of this intelligence, as also of a treaty of commerce between the two countries. The reason, as we are informed, why the recognition of the independence of Chili did not take place contemporaneously with the other States of the New World was, that the Spaniards held footing in it long after they had been forced out of Mexico, Columbia, &c., and that when Chili was completely freed from the presence of the Spaniards, the disturbed and disorganized state of Mexico and Columbia caused our Government to suspend the acknowledgment of the independence of Chili. Prince Lieven, the Russian Minister at this Court, has been unexpectedly recalled, and will be succeeded by the first Secretary of the Russian Embassy at Parrs* Count Medom, not in the character of Ambassador, but as Charge d'Affaires. We understand that Prince Lieven is to be appointed governor of the young Grand Duke. Whatever may be the causes of this recall, which we have reason to believe possess no sort of connection with matters which interest the Stock Exchange, the higher circles of fashion will lose much in the departure of the Prince and Princess Lieven, whose residence of thirteen years or thereabout in England has tended to create connections and form friend- ships the interruption of which will be felt mutually.—Globe. The Monaghan election terminated on Friday even- ing by the return of Mr. Westenra, a repealer, whose majo- rity at the close was 94. Another Sunday Bill, that of Mr. Fleetwood, re- ceived its quietus in the Commons last night. That of Mr. Poulter, which amounts to little more than a stricter enforce- ment of existing laws, passed a second reading. Possibly the latter will prove the ne plus ultra. The fifteen senior Brevet Majors or Captains of the Royal Marines are to be allowed to retire on full pay, and the First Lieutenants, previous to 1815, to be promoted to the rank of Captain, on the unattached pay of 7s. per diem. On the completion of this plan, the pay-captains will be en- tirely abolished, and the staff will be considered as the strength of the corps, so that a saving will ultimately accrue to the public, whilst, at the same, a great boon will be af- forded to such officers as may take advantage of the pro- posed regulatiou.-Naval and Military Gazette. There is a party in the city still very earnest in prognosticating difficulties to the Government in the reduc- tion of the 4 per cents., but on grounds, as we suspect, by no means tenable. It appears certain that banking opera- tions to a considerable extent have been carried on in the 4 per cents., which can have no other intelligible object than an intention on the part of those who enter on them to dis- sent to the reduction. There has also been much inter- change of stock, by trustees, from the 4 into the 3l per Cents., by which some advantage has been gained, varying from I to 1 per Cent., over the acceptance of the 3! per Cents., on the terms proposed by the Government; but ad- mitting this to go on to the extent of 2,000,0001. or 3,000,0001., which is a large proportion in a stock not amounting to 11,000,0001. altogether, what embarrassment could this create when the bank is actually borrowing of the East India Company, at the rate of 2 per Cent., a sum more than sufficient to take the whole of it? At present there is every reason to believe that the amount of dissent declared is under a quarter of a million. The total amount will of course be publicly declared on the 28th inst., which will set this matter at rest.-Times. The annual examination of the children educated in the Clergy Orphan School, St. John's Wood, Marylebone, took place on the 22d inst., before the Archbishop of Can- terbury, the President; the Bishop of London, the Vice- President; the Archbishop of York; Bishops of Winches- ter, Rochester, and Sodor and Man; Deans of Salisbury and Hereford, and a numerous assemblage of Ladies, as well as of Laity and Clergy, friends to the Institution. The appearance of the Orphans was an indication of the excel- lence of the discipline established in the schools. The rea- diness, accuracy, and intelligence displayed both by the boys ahd girls in the different subjects of examination, and not least in the religious part of their education, were highly gratifying to the audience. At the conclusion, the Most Rev. President was pleased to express his approbation in strong terms of the attention paid by the master and mis- tress, and their assistants, and of the progress made by the orphans intrusted to their care. THE TITHE COMMUTATION BiLL.—A meeting of gentlemen connected with the landed interest of the coun- ties of Kent, Essex, Surry, Sussex, and Devon, took place on Wednesday at Brown's coffee-house, Palace-yard, Westminster, for the purpose of adopting resolutions against Lord Althorp's Tithe Commutation Bill. Mr. Blandfill, of Upminster-hall, Essex, took the chair. Captain Hampden addressed the meeting on the burdensome nature of tithes, and said what they wanted was relief, not merely commu- tation. He proposed a resolution to the following effect: —1" That the bill brought forward by Lord Althorp for the commutation and redemption of tithes is, in most of its pro- visions fallacious and highly objectionable; and, if carried .into effect, will be attended with consequences very inju- rious to those whom it is intended to serve; and that no plan could give them relief, if not accompanied by a consi- derable diminution of their burdens." The resolution hav- ing been seconded, Mr. Divett thought there was something very ungracious at the very outset of their conversation with Government, in characterising a bill which had been framed with so much consideration for their benefit, as altogether fallacious. He proposed as an amendment, that the word "many," instead of" most," of the provisions, be substituted. This proposition having met with the approbation of the majority of the gentlemen present, the alteration was made accordingly, and the resolution adopted. Other resolutions in furtherance of the objects of the meeting having been agreed to, and a Committee appointed to wait on Lord Al- thorp the meeting separated.—On Thursday, the deputation waited on Lord Althorp, who promised to consider their re. presentation. THE ASSAULT ON MR. GEE.—On Tuesday, Ed- wards alias Heath, and the two men who assisted in erecting the cell in which Mr. Gee was confined in the house in York- street, Commercial road, were again put to the bar at Lam- beth-street Office, when the complainant recapitulated his evidence as given in the previous examinations of the pri- soners. He swore positively to the whole three as concern- ed in the outrage. The prisoners declined saying anything, and were fully committed to Newgate. If found guilty, the prisoners are subject to transportation for life. A recent traveller in Jersey says he has there seen cabbages seven feet high; to which we can only respond- "Have you?" Tuesday's Gazette announces the appointment of Francis Jeffrey, Esq. to be one of the Lords of Session, in the room of Lord Craigie, deceased; of J. A. Murray, Esq., to the office of Lord Advocate for Scotland, in the room of F. Jeffrey, Esq.; and the elevation of Miss Wykhain, of Thane Park, Oxfordshire, to the Peerage, by the title of Baroness Wenman. Mr. O'Connell has lately addressed a Letter to the Editor of the Dublin Pilot, which, we are happy to say, breathes that spirit of moderation and caution which alone are wanting to make Mr. O'Connell's great talents as useful as they are shining. He refers in this communication to the Irish tithe question, and seems to make a sort of public sti- pulation to put an end to agitation, provided some steps be taken as to the property of the Irish Church, which will give satisfaction to the Irish. The Rev. E. Nolan, Professor of Theology at Car- low College, has publicly contradicted the report of Dr. Doyle's conversion to Protestantism, as a gross and un- founded falsehood." London is noW exceedingly full, the keepers of many of the first-rate hotels being obliged to turn away families requiring accommodation and the Musical Festival is likely to prolong the fashionable season. The Police Gazette offers rewards for 26 horses which have been stolen within about 14 days! That curious personage, a Horse Marine, was last week visible in the Gazette; Capt. Dundas, Royal Navy, having been translated from service afloat to service ashore, as Captain of the Hungerford troop of Yeomanry Cavalry. A very melancholy event took place the other day on board H. M. S. Ringdove, at Lisbon. A sailor was to be flogged for getting drunk, but as he made great resistance, he was put in irons, and in this state he was brought on deck, when about to receive punishment. On being or- dered to strip, he he laid hold of a knife, which he had con- cealed about his person, and killed himself by plunging it into his heart.

MRS. JOHNSON'S AMERICAN SOOTHING SYRUP, for CHILDREN CUTTING THEIR TEETH. This infailible Remedy has preserved hundreds of Children, when thought past recovery from Convulsions arising from painful dentition. As soon as the Syrup is rubbed on the gums the Child will be relieved, the gums cooled, and the inflamma- tion reduced. It is as innocent as efficacious, tending to pro- duce the teeth with ease; and so pleasant, that no Child will refuse to let its gums be rubbed with it. When Infants are at the age of four months, the Syrup should be rubbed on the gums; and Parents should never be without the Syrup in the nursery where there are young Children for if a Child wakes in the night with painsinthe gums,the Syrupimtnediately gives ease; thereby preventing Convulsions, Fevers,&c. The great success of this Medicine during the lasttwenty-five years has induced unprincipled persons to imitate it under the name of American Soothing Syrup, and copying parts of Mrs. Johnson's Bltls,&c, Parents will, therefore, be very particular to ask for JOHNSON'S AMERICAN SOOTHING SYRUP, and to notice that the Names of BARCLAY and SONs, 95, Far- ringdon-sireet, London (to whom Mrs. Johnson has sold the recipe), is on the Stari!IV fiffixcd to each bottle.
