POSTSCRIPT TO THE WEEK'S NEWS.
SPECTATOR OFFICE, SATURDAY.
A German mail has arrived bringing papers to the 11th inst.; but their contents possess little interest. The news of the victory obtained by General Diebitsch is said to have produced great depression among the Turks at Belgrade, when it first reached them. A letter from Dublin, dated July 16th, says—" A Privy Council assembled at the Castle at one o'clock this day, and is at present in deliberation. The Courts are not sitting, l‘ecause of the necessity of the legal functionaries who are members of t he Council being present. It is confidently asserted that the Council has been called together in consequence of a letter received from Mr. Peel, in reply to a communi- cation from the Lord Lieutenant relative to the Meetings on the Corn Exchange. It is also stated, that the recent accounts from the North, of conflicts between the Orangemen and I]ie Catholics, have induced the Lord Lieutenant to take the advice of his Council as to the mea- sures proper to be adopted." An English house of respectability at the Havannah writes to their correspondents in London, that two of their ships have been taken up as transports to carry troops to Mexico. The point of attack is kept secret.
