Amamo navowrios IN FRANCE.

' Na leon son of Louis, ex-King of Hol- lanldsrgho, ilxis knbvi’n, has resided in England for some time past, lately hired, as for a pleasure excur- sion ofa ortnight, the Edinburgh Castle, a small steamer, the, property of the Commercml Steam Navigation Company, and last year employed in the trade between Boulogne and Rye. In this vesselhe embarked fiom the river on Wednesday, taking with him about sixty followers, eight horses, and two carriages. The vessel proceeded directly for the French coast, and at two o’clock on Thursday morning, cast anchor ofi' Witnereaux. . .

The surprise of captain and crew Inay be imagined to see the whole of the passengers come on deck, not in the peaceful garb of citizens, but on militmre, some as lancers, some as general ofiiceis, some as

rivate soldiers, with an oil-skin covering on their lists, with the n , , 740 painted in front—that being the regiment w 'ich at Strasbui'gh had formerly identified itself so seriously in the cause of Louis Na lean. ' heir object was soon made evident. The ship’s boat was lowered, and the whole company landed in three trips. fire the Prince left the vessel, he ordered the. " ' to cruise off the coast, but to keep close in ,logne, and have a boat ready manned to come o‘fiifor them should they signalize to that effect. Among those landed were General

~ Montholon, Colonel Vaudrey, Colonel Parquin, and

Colonel Delaborde. ' Wimereaux is situated at the mouth ofa small river, about three miles due north of Boulogne; it is a narrow sandy harbour, but has a basin excavated by Napoleon for the use of the great flotilla arma- ment against England. The place is otherwise memorable as the scene of the death of the aeronauts, Pilatre De Rosier and Romain, and as the theatre of thefirst eat installation of “ the Legion of Honour.” From imereaux Louis Napoleon and his banditti proceeded to Boulogne. At the column erected to commemorate the expedition against England, and which stands rather more than halfway on their route, or about one mile and a quarter ti‘om the city, they stopped for a short time in order to hoist their flag, surmounted by the Eagle ofNapoleon, at its summit. It 'was thus nearly five o’clock before they had reéched Boulogne, marching through the lower town (the upper town is walled, and might have sewed as a trap); they went along the principal streets dis- tributing proclamations, and shouting “ Vive l’ Ein- “eur, the Prince carrying his hat on the point of

is sword, and waving it in the air. At length he reached the barracks, which is built on the bank of the Liane, so that they had to traverse nearly the length of the city, which they did without inter- ruption. At the barracks they found a company or two of the 42d Regiment of the line, just rising from their beds. ' The soldiers, harangued by Louis Napoleon and his accomplices, assured that a revolution had been effected in Paris and generally through France, and summoned to join the Eagle of the empire, were for some time puzzled as to how they should act. One of their officers, however, who had heard of the alarm, hurried to the barracks and relieved the poor men from their perplexity by shouting “ Vive le Roi.” They at once saw how the matter stood, and recognised the officer’s autho- rity. A strug le folloWed. Louis Napoleon drew a pocket pisto , and attempted to shoot the inoppor- tune intruder who had deranged his plan. The shot missed the oflicer, but took effect upon the check of _a soldier, on whom it inflicted a cruel wound. This repulse, so romptly made, satisfied the banditti that from the so diers they had nothing to hope, and accordingly they betook themselves to secure at least a retreat through the favour of the populace ; but here again they were disappointed. Though they distributed many proclamations and some money, they did not conciliate any assistance ; the National guards and armed inhabitants meanwhile assembled in considerable force. A chase of Louis and his fi'iends quickly ensued; about twenty of them col- lected at the column above mentioned, as it seemed to make a stand, but they were easily dislodged, and they and all the rest made the best of their way to the shore of \Vimereaux, in the hope of re-embark- ing. Here, however, they discovered, with dismay, that the last chance of escape had been taken from them. The Edinburgh Castle had been seized upon by the harbour-master, Captain Pollet, and twelve armed douaniers, acting under the orders of the Mayor, a vigilant and energetic Magistrate, whose conduct seems to have been admirable throughout the whole affair. The fugitives, however, seized the steamer’s boat, which lay upon the shore, over- loaded, and upset it ; some of them were drowned, and others tried to escape by swimming. Louis Napoleon was among the latter; exhausted by the

exertions of the morning, he scarcely saved himself '

from sinking by grasping a floating buoy about an eighth of a mile from the shore: in this condition he was secured by the harbour-master. All his accom- plices who escaped death were in one way or another taken also. Among them are General Montholon, Colonel Vaudrey, Colonel Parquin, and Colonel Delaborde, formerly the military command- er at Cambray. Another officer of rank (he were :1; of a (ionizamhwhose name is unknown,

An incident of some interest occurred, upon the truth of which you may rely.

The _\Vidgeon steam-vessel, Master Commander J.

The Royal flag of Belgium was hoisted iii the Dockyard, and the national flag of Belgium on her Majesty’s vessels in the river. His Majesty was very plainly dressed, and appeared much fatigued.

. EGYPT.

We learn by letters from Alexandria of the 7th Aug., that M. Coclielet, the French Consul, had communicated to Meliemet Ali the terms of the Quadruple Treaty, and earnestly invited him to yield to the counsels of France, ifhe would avoid the disasters awaiting him by resisting the efl'orts of the four Powers for the pacification ofthe East. M. Coclielet is said also to have assured the Pacha, that France was resolved to remain entirely neutral in the execution ofthe coercive measures of the other Powers against Egypt. The effect produced by this communication is said to have been to confirm Mchemct Ali the more in his determination not to yield to the conditions proposed, nor to surrender the Turkish fleet; but to resist to the last extremity. This statement is confirmed by letters fi'om Alexan- dria, in the French papers, mentioning that the first hostile movement against Egypt will be fol— lowed up by the march oflbrahim on ConstantiJ nople; a course to which the Paclia has been ad vised by all his partisans in the Turkish capital It is quite clear that the state ofmatters in the quarter has reached a very disagreeable crisir: Though Meliemet’s resistance may prove unavailiiig, yet he has a formidable force, and may give his European assailants some trouble. , The Standasz private correspondent states, that there are at this

Alexandria ; twelve of which are Egyptian ships of 100 guns and upwards, and the remainder seven Turkish ships of the same weight of metal ; besides 15 large frigatcs, and many corvettes, brigs, and smaller veSsels. This fleet, armed with 3000 guns has been disposed in three lines, for the purpose 0' opposing any attempt that may be made to force the entrance to the port. Strong batteries have likewise been erected, so that the harbour appears “to be encircled by a belt of' iron.” Besides his pro parations at Alexandria, the Pacha boasts that he is able to throw 50,000 men into Syria. From these demonstrations it is evident that lie is resolved t( make a desperate resistance, and if he persist in his determination, the peace of the East and of Europe may be seriously endangered. The assurance the France will remain neutral, had deluded him intt the belief that he will be able to cope with the othei Powers. An attempt was made by Col. Hodges the British Consul at Alexandria, to disabuse his mind- of so absurd a notion ; but he avoided an int terview, and would hold no communication witl him. We have little doubt that, with all his de- monstrations, the obstinacy of the Pacha will be made ultimately to yield. Accustomed onlv to Eastern warfare, he has formed erroneous ideas 0 the courage and tactics of European troops. “ Hd appears (as the Standard remarks) to place a degree of reliance on the measures adopted for his defence, which they will not be found to warrant. He has abundance of materiel at his command, but it will be rendered comparatively harmless by the inca- pacity of the people employed to direct its applica- tion. Guns are mounted on carriages that will not bear 'the slightest shock, and other inconsistencies equaliy gross, pervade all his boasted arranoements His forts are, It is true, better supplied, buta then he has no artillerists worthy of the-name to man theii guns. 'H'is army is, for the most part, composed of undisciplined lads, and suffering greatly from sickl ness, arismg fi'om the bad quality ofits food. HE argues. however, that because a handful of gallant Circassmns. have been able to oppose, successfully. the aggressions of Russia, he can go to war with thal country, and England to boot, with some prospect of success. He will discover his mistake when the

AWFULLY SUDDEN DEATH or SIR JAMES VVEB-

\S'IER WEDDERBURNE, BART.—It is our painiiil duty

to have to record the demise of the above-named Baronet, which event took place a few minutes to eleven o’clock on Thursday night, under'the follow- ing most distressing circumstances. It appeared that the deceased had been stopping for some time in Dublin, at Elvidge’s Hotel, Kildare Street. He had dined and spent the evening of Thursday at the house of a friend in Harcourt Street. Between nine and ten o’clock he left, took a car and called at one or two shops in Sackville Street, at which, having trinsacted some business, he desired the driver of tin vehicle to wait for him at the corner of the same street, turning into Upper Abbey street.» Some time

fierwards, within ten or twelve minutes to eleven o’clock, he went into the public-house, 77, Abbey Stieet. He was accompanied by two females, and was shown up to the front drawing-room. There l‘le seated himself on a box in a recess of one of the (vindows, and ordered the waiter to fetch up two glasses of punch for his companions. One of the latter, however, declined drinking punch, and in its stead a glass of lemonade was ordered. The waiter was in the act of having the beverages prepared at the bar below, when a fall, as if of some heavy sub- stance, was heard on the floor of the drawing-room immediately overhead. He stopped till the drink was got ready, and he proceeded with it up stairs. There, on entering the apartment, he beheld the deceased extended on the boards all but a lifeless corpse, breathing convulsively, but without the slightest motion of the body or limbs, the females still seated and looking upon the awful scene before them apparently with about as much emotion as they would regard the shivering of a drinking-glass for the payment of which they might be held res- ponsible. The Waiter hurried ofi' immediately for medical assistance. Dr. Herron,-of Sackville Street, was promptly in attendance—a vein was opened in one of the temples—but all was over ; the vital spark had fled for ever! Notice of the melancholy event was, without loss of time, communicated to. the police by the inmates of the house. Mr. Inspec- tor Dunden ’went to the place. The two women in question were interrogated, and their account was that the deceased had met and invited them to take a glass of punch; they, of course, consented; after he had ordered the drink, and the waiter had left the room, they observed him suddenly laugh loud- ly, and then a change seemed at once to come over him. He begged of them not to feel alarmed, that he was subject to fits'ot‘weakness, and that was one of them, but he would recover in a few minutes.— In a moment, and almost as he spoke, he fell from the box on which he had been sitting, they occupy- mg the chairs on the other side ofhiin; he did not utter aword afterwards. He had not the slightest appearance of drink whatever on him when he en- tered the house, nor had he ordered any for him- self The officer having given the women in cus- tody to some of his men, proceeded to'examine the deceased’s pockets. A gold watch, some money, amounting to between £5 and £6, a ticket from one of the steam-packet ofiicers, by which it appeared that he had paid his passage to England for the fol- lowing day, his card, and some. other matters were found 'on him. A policeman was left in charge of the mortal remains of the ill-fated gentleman until a Coroner’s Inquest should be held on them. De- ceased appeared to be upwards of 50 years of age, of handsome countenance, but rather corpulent in person. In his walk be halted considerably, as if suffering from a paralytic affection. The Coroner’s Inquest returned a verdict of having died of apo- plexy. The body would be placed, in the first in- stance, in a shelly until they heard from the trustees of the deceased, after which it would be removed to Scotland, to be interred in the family burial place. The deceased was a brother-in-law of Lord Mountmorris; he had acted as aide-de-camp to the Duke of Wellington at Waterloo, where he was wounded, the effect of which was a slight lameness, and some years ago he fought a duel with the pre- sent Earl of Harrington, then Lord Petersham, in which he was slightly wounded; neither that nor the wound he received at Waterloo had, however, Injured his health in the slightest degree. He was a plaintiff in the great cause of Wadderburn, by the demsion in which, given by the Lord Chancellor of England, he had recovered a share of £400,000; he was also worth £20,000 a year, and had considera- able property in Ireland.
