For SALE by PRIVATE BARGAIN, at reduced prices, a quantify of SCOTQH and ENGLISH CARPETING-, of'j excellent quality, with an extensive assortment of the best MOREENS. could not be removed, even to lie cleaned, or replaced, without the aid of a stirgcoti, or tit least of an assistant; and this, often a matter of expense and tiKvays one of delicncv, subjected the wearers .. to unpleasant conse- quences, from the infrequeoey with which cleaning could be performed. Tine last circumstance, together with its own peculiar soent, madethe India rubber peculiarly of- fensive. It is therefore with much pleasure we state, that we have seen a silver palate so constructed, as that the wearer can take it out, clean, and replace it, without any assistance, in the course of two or three minutes. At the same time it fits perfectly air- tight, and as it ex- erts its pressure equally oti all the parts, it never tends to increase the deficiency. We know of one instance, indeed, irV which the patient, after using a palate of this kind for a considerable numlrer of months, had the na- tural one so much reproduced, that he had to order a second, one half the original size. This invention, though never hitherto publicly notic- ed, was made in IBIS, and the ingeniou^ inventor, Mr. AiiJii ,•;. Clark, No. 76. Grosvetior- strc" t, Grog- venor- sqnare, has had demands for it l> oth in London and in Edinburgh. In every instance it has been high- ly approved of by surgeons of the very first tnl- nt and re- speetabilitv, and it has given the utmost satisfaction to the wearers, as well on account of the complete restora- tion of voice which it produces, as of the ease with which it is worn, and tlie facility with which it may be cleaned. It is foreign to ottr purpose to describe its mechanism— we think it extremely ingenious, and so simple that it is not likely to get out of order. One great advantage which Mr. Clark possesses over most ( we may say till) Dentists and Correctors of disorganization of the palate, his perfect knowledge of the alloying, working and tern.- pering of metals, and the mechanical dexterity which enables him to construct every part of his artificial organs of speech and mastication with his own hand. We have been induced to take this public notice of Mr. Clark and his invention, because it stiuek us that he himself is too much disposed to rest satisfied with the mere fact of in- venting, without giving that publicity which both his own merits and the interest of the public require. We wish Mr. Clark that success which a man of much merit and much modesty deserves ; and it his success shall be at all in proportion to his endowment in these respects, he, or the public, will have no reason to complain.

MR. ANDREW CLARK. The followiirg article we copy from a London paper,; s we understand the ingenious inventor is a native of In. verness:— SCIENTIFIC— In this age when the public are so of- ten deceived by pretended inventions and discoveries which, though sounding in name, are nothing in reality, it is pleasing to hunt out from that retirement which ever is the abode of genuine merit, an invention really valuable. The use of language is not only the first o;'| human erjovments, but the grand eharaettristic ot man ; ^ and, therefore, any d .-. organization resulting either from.! • natur, or misfortune that deprives man of the faculty of speech, is about the severest privation under which he can labour. The extremely delicate structure of the human palate renders it liable to original delects, antl aiso to partial or total destruction, in conscqt of; V r. ous uiseostts ; and many attem,, s have bee ma e b met'a s, by India rubber, and by other sulist t s, to supply the defect. In most instances he bene. it has b en but partial— the metals have not fitted ti- ntlv, or h tve given pain— and the India rubber, or other flexible | substances have, by their pressure upon tlie parts, aggra- vated the id. seasc. In general, too, the substitute palate, Thursday, the election of a Peer, to sit in Parliament as one of the Sixteen Representatives of the Scottish Nobilitv, in the room of Francis Lord Napier, deceas ed, took place at tlie Palace of Ilolyroodhouse. Their Lordships were attended bv the Lord Provost and Ma- gistrates of this city ; Sir Robert Dutulas, Bart, and Colin Mackenzie, Esq. two of the Principal Clerks of Session, as deputies of the Lord Clerk Register of Scot- land ; the Rev. Dr. Macfarlane of Drvmen, one of the Deans of the Chapel Royal, and Dr. Brvee of Aberdottr, one of his Majesty's Chaplains for Scotland. The busi- ness was opened with prayer by Dr. Macfarlane, the Clerks then called over the Union Roll of the Scots Pariinment, wlien eight Peers present answered .. to tjjeir names ; subsequently three more Noblemen entered the room, when there were— PRESENT, Marquis of Tweeddale, Earl ofKintore, Earl of Errol, Earlof Rosehery, Earl of Lauderdale, Lord Sinclair, Earl of Kinnoull, Lord Elihank, Earl of Elgin, Lord Rollo. Earl of Northesk, The following Noblemen sent SIGNED LISTS. • Duke of Gdrdon, Earl of'Haddington, Duke of Mooirose, Earl of Dumfries, Marquis of Queensberry, Earl of Aboyne, Earl of . Caithness, E irl of Glasgow, Earl of Cassillis, Viscount Arbuthnot, Earl of Moray, Lord Forbes, E. rrl ot Home, Lord Saltoun, Earl of Kellie, Lord Balantyre. Mr. Mackenzie intimated to their Lordships, that they were required to write the name of the Peer for whom they voted, on a piece of paper, adding their own name and the date. ' 1 he Earl of Lauderdale objected to this, and demanded to know the authority under which it was required. Mr. Mackenzie immediately produced the statute of Queen Anne, and read the sec- tion which enjoins each Peer to give in to the Clerk the name of the Nobleman voted for, and added, that this certainly meant something more than the mere pronounc- ing the name. The Noble Earl assented, and complied with the request, as did the whole Peers present, who all voted for the Earl of Errol. The Signed Lists were then examined, and found to be also in favour of the Noble Earl, who thus obtained an unanimous election, having the suffrages often Peers present, and sixteen who voted by lists. There were no proxy voters on this occasion. The Clerks having certified the election to the High Court of Chancery, the Earl of Errol returned thanks to the other Noblemen for the honour they had done him. The business was then closed by an appropriate praver by Dr. Eryce. The number of Seols Peers at the Lmion in 1707 was about 140; at present there are only 80. Of these two are disqualified, being Catholics, the Earls of Tra- quair and Newbtirgh ; ten are minors, viz. Dukes of Bticcleuch and Roxburghc, Marquis ( Earl) of Abercorn, Earls of Rothes, Eglmton, Selkirk, and Hopetoun. Viscount Falkland, and Lords Elphinstone and Crans- ton ; and four are Peeresses, the Countesses of Slither- I nd, Loudon, Dvsart. and Orkney. The number of Scots Peers, who are Peers of Great Britain, is 28. COURT OF CONSCIENCE, DUBLIN. CONDON t>. CHARLES. On Saturday, last, there was a very curious hearing in this Court. Wore Sir John K. James, in which C- ndon, Esq. was plaintiff, and Mr. Chillies, the cele- bnt ed magician, was defendant. Plaintiff stated, that lie sought to recover 30s. the val ie of a hat spoiled bv the defendant; that, going with a ' other gentleman, a few evenings before, to Mr. Charles's exhibit on, in Grafton Street, his friend, who hint some knowledge of these matters, puzzled the ma- gician, and gave him some little annoyance, he must confess, on which Mr. Charles gave to each of them a ftcsh egg," keeping another to himself, at the same t ne s >, thai ii tliey cwuiii do exactly as he did, three hot mikts should lie produced fur the company : he then broke the egg, and poured be e'intents into his hat, des ring them to do so with ihei: hats, which they did— ( H*. re - the gravity of the Mao s rate had to struggle with fiis ' isible faculties)— and on turning tlieir hats up, their bands and sleeves were. ail bespattered to their great an- ' noyance, while'Mr,- Chasles sufScred no inconvenience, i but produced Fiis omelet'. j Sir John— Perhaps, Sir, you would have done well t" j demean Vo'urself like other gentlemen at such an exhibi- tion. Mr. Charles, will, you have the goodpeas to go through the experiment here, for the benefit of the com- pany ?— Mr. Chajrles bowed assent amidst peals ot Jjugii- ter. Plaintiff said that this > vas no treatment for a. gentle- man, and that the public were concerned in such an out- rage as this of Mr. Charles's, and that he walked home at night without a hat. Sir John, with srettt gooEl humour, then timed to Mr. Charles, and asked wfmt he had to sav to all'. tUis . J Mr.- diaries—.

Plaintiff— Mighty fine sir, but Sir John—- Really, gentlemen, such a case as this is quite rare here ; I can give no damages for what Plain- tiff has felt about his Hat— there is, f- bciieve, no harm done, and I must dismiss the ease with costs... The decision seemed to please the.-" greasy rogues" in the Court below, who, like true Paddies,-- forgot for a time their own griefs and animosities, to see " the fun." The parties left the Court in apparent good humour, and the beaver was borne by Mr. Charles s servant to tha lodgings of the Plaintiff unhurt. a a .- GREAT AMERICAN CANAL. This great work, which'was begun in 1817, and will be completed next year, is the longest. canafin existence, and though upon a small scale as to breadth and depth, is we believe, in point of pecuniary outlav, the great- est work of the kind ever executed. It is 353 miles i t length, 40 feet wide at the surface of the. water, £ 8 at the bottom, and four feet deep, and wtllcost about five millions of dollars, ( 1 100,000,) or £. 3000 per m. ie on an average. The canal, which extends frorti Black Rotfc. at the east end of Lake Erie, to Albany, on the Hudson, wilt render this river the chief, almost the sole outlet, antt. New York the great emporium of a fertile country, ex- tending along the kikes, much larger than the British Isles, and fast filling up with inhabitants. Proceeding eastward from the Lake Erie, the canal rises, 41 feet, and from the summit's level falls 601 feet to the Hudson; making an aggregate rise and fall of 6- 1- 9 feet, which is effected by 77 locks. Two levels or reaches extend ovcr 65 and 70 miles without lockage, a circumstance per- haps without a parallel, except iu China. There were 238 miles finished last autumn, and much of the rest was in a very advanced state. The stimulus it gives to improvement is already seen in the villages and towns which are springing up with astonishing rapidity alono its whole course, i'assaoe- bouts and bateaux already ply on the parts completed. The former, which are gcut- nerally of a s ze to carrv 90 passengers, travel at the riite of 100. miles in twenty- tonr hours, and the char..; e is ahout 1 ^ d- o- r ,2d. pe, r mile. When the work is couiplet • ed, it is thought the price of carriage from Late Erie to the Hudson, will be reduced tit least fbnr- fifttis— an alteration that will colrl'er a new value on main- heavy ar - tides of agricultural produce, which will not tit present bear the expence of transportation to market.

Three leets were iven in— one by the Senior bailie— one by another member— nd a third by Mr. W. R. K. Douglas. M. P. for the district f burghs. The leet adopted was the second ; that of Mr. Douglas vvas rejected. Our correspondent informs us that tbe ectiou was an object of intense interest in the place, and at the result was very satisfactory to tbe great majority of the inhabitants, who considered it as securing the independence ot' burgh for the present. This does not entirely agree with account given by the Dumfries Courier. We do not pre* tend to know which is right.*— Scotsman. BURGH OF PERTH. The Guildry met, on Saturday, tn go through the annual farce of leeting one of the Magisterial nominees to be Dean foi the titxt year. Mr. Norwell took the chair ; and, without loss of time, gave forth a leet, on which he put himself and the three Mireliant Bailies at present in the Council, as the best qualified for this office— a selection which readily met the views of Provost Stewart, who seconded the nomination. Mr. Thos. Winlack. moved to restrict tbe leet to the two youngest Bailies. A debate, conducted with considerable ability, followed, on the propriety of adopting Mr. Wiulack's motion— the speakers invariably complimenting the Magistrates.^ private citizens, but pointing their artillery against the system tbay lent them- selves to uphold. Such of the Magisterial paPty as were pre- sent, seemed sorely troubled— particularly at the sensible, elo- quent, and well reasoned speech of Mr. Stalker. Mr. Robert Hepburn ended tlie discussion, by moving that the leet should be restricted In tbe present Dean and tbe two youngest Bailies - a motion which vvas al- o seconded by Provost Stewart. Both motions were then put to the vote : For Mr. Winlack's, 25 ; for Mr. Hepburn's, 32; majority, 13— a result by which, as we underst and it, is at once surrendered all that the Guildry have been battling about with the Council for the last six years. — Dundee Advertiser. BURGIL ( IF IOC II MA BEN. Lochmaben, the very pink of decayed burghs, is remarkable for more things than its seven lochs and venerable castle, where the royal Bruce once held sway, and granted eccentric charters to ihe illustrious feuers of the - Four Towns." For the last 15 years, we believe, Lochmabefi has been governed by the same chief magistrate, the set of llle burgh dispensing with a regulation which obtains in other parts of tbe country. In March, 18- 23, this gentleman, unfortunately, became insolv- ent ( a circumstance to which we merely allude that the fol- low ing statement may be rendered intelligible), and after an absence of some months he returned to bis native place, armed with a personal protection, and resumed, as he was entitled to do tbe dictatorship of Lochmaben. The claims made upon his . state ( some of them disputed and we hear disputable) amount to upwards ot ,£ 10 000, and on investigating these claims, it was found that the Provost's private pecuniary ailairs were so mixed up with those of the burgh, that it vvas illl possible to discriminate betwixt them. Report, indeed, says that in borrowing sums for the use of the burgh, the magis- trates merely mel and signed bills in the Provost's shop, ne- glecting ' he usual fi rms qf consulting the council, and regis- tering their proceedings in the burgh hooks. Hence the said books are woefully defective as historical records ; and hence, too, the different loans bear so much the air of private iransac lions, that more than one creditor who had advanced money on the faith of the burgh has taken advantage of this circum Stance, and raised actions before the competent Courts, with the view of ranking on the Provost's estate, and attaching the funds of the other magistrates. In September. 1822. some months subsequent to his failure, the I'r- vost was again, though not without opposition, re- elected IO office— a contest in which he was aided by the very persons who now hold the trustee ship of his property, and to whose appointment he had at first been inimical. « ' Gift' gall',"' tav^ the proverb, " makes good friends," and from this time the Provost anil tbe trustee's party began to sail in the same boat, upon the mutual understanding that they should stick together at the next election. Nothing, we believe, occurred to disturb this harmony, until Friday the 19th curt, only one day previous to a new election of merchant councillors— an election which, unimportant as it may appear to the unitiat- ed. was sure to be decisive of the fate of the burgh for another year. Oil that eventful day. big wiih the fate. of Lochmaben and its potentate, ihe Provost is alleged lo have received quite a new light on the subject of Burgh politics, and deserting his then party lie agreed ( for reasons which a little bird has whistl- ed lo us! but which we at present forbear to mention.) to throw all his influence into the opposite scale. Tne council was at tliis time so equally divided that the Provost's cast- vote would have placed the whole Junta hors de combat, and open- ed the gates of the garrison to their opponents. Lawyers, how ever . are wily fellows ; and the agent to the Trust recollecting that a certain protection had become for some weeks a dead letter, bethought him of a stratagem which is perhaps without a parallel in the history of Rotten Burghs. Fishing up an old caption and horning, which had lain unused in Ihe crypts of his writing chamber, he dispatched a messenger to Lochmaben on the morning of the election ( Saturday the 20th current), and who finding ready access to his friend the fir. t magistrate, at once explained to him ihe object of his mission. What pass, ed we need not stop to relate. The Provost, no doubt, looked blue, and the writer grave ; but looks cannot stop the course of law; and being politely asked to choose betwixt going to jail anil taking a ride to Dumfries, he at once adopted the for- mer alternative, for reasons that may be easily guessed. The Provost's imprisonment was of brief duration, but long enough to answer all the purposes of a ruse de guerre. In his absence the council went to work the best way they could, and the elec- tion terminated exactly as had been anticipated. Our respectable representative, W. R K. Douglas, Esq attended the Council, and having qualified hiins: If by taking the usual oaths, exercised, we believe, for the first time, his privileges as a burgesssof Locbmaben. The honourable gen- tlemen. in a brief but business- like speech, a report of which has bet n sent us, alluded to the disordered state of the town's aftvirs— the difficulty, or rather the impossibility, of making up. from the books such state of income and expenditure, debts, & c. as is required by the Act Geo. IV. cap. 91 ; and JKJUIO nished fhe burges- es. as the only means of regaining the confi- dence of the public creditor, and restoring the burgh to its wonted importance, to elect intelligent and respectable conn cillors— residing within the burgh if possible— but still respect able men under every circumstance. The debts of Loch malwn, in as far ns they can be ascertained, were stated at I.. 2.300 steiiing, while the creditor side of the account, consi derahle as it may be. is still, if possible, a greater puzzle. We have only to add to this statement, that, the contest had so little to do with whig or tory, that it related to men rather than measures— parties rather than principles ; since, so fat- as we know, not the slightest wish wasr evinced to oppose th Queensberry interest. Why then, it may be asked, was there titty struggle at all ? This is a hard question, and yet we will attempt to answer it. One great beauty of the burgh system is. that it is a sort of political perpetual mobile, or rather a huge jack, kept in the kitchen of the great, which only requires to b » » wound up once in the year. Of this fact both parties were sufficiently aware ; for once in always in ; and hence the one strove to obtain power, as a means of saving further trouble, and the other to keep it as a means of insuring future respect. CIRCUIT INTELLIGENCE. The following is a summary of the criminal business at Glas- gow. There were indictments, including 1 1 females and 85 males, in whole 96 prisoners. To prove their crimes 802 witnesses were cited by the Crown : — Fur Murder ... ... ,5 Sentenced to be executed 5 Assuult and Robbery ... 7 Banished for life Tlieft by housebreaking and Do. 14 years reset 41 Theft arid Reset 20 Assaults of various sorts ... 1 7 Forgery ... 2 Mobbing and Rioting ... 4 Culpable homicide ... 1 Debauching the minds6fyoung iris ... ... ... 1 Do. 7 \ ears Sent to Bridewell To prison ... Remitted, to the Sheriff , Outlawed Liberated . « • Recommitted Certified to the High Court 1 Total 96 Total 95 Tlie LORD JUSTICE CLERK, in his usual address to the Sheriffs of the counties of Lanark, Renfrew, and Dumbarton, as a matter of course, called their attention, as well as that of the Magistrates of Glasgow, to the very alarming increase of crime n this district of the empire. If the number of persons in- dicted and tried at the present Glasgow Circuit have been equal- led, they have never been surpassed nor their crimes equalled n enormity. These crimes consist of murder, culpable homi- cide, aggravated assaults, Uv means of stabbing, or committed by that atrocious agent vitriolic acid ; of very aggravated cases of housebreaking, and of systematic reset; crimes that show alteration of our characters. Instead of being remarkable for our sobtiety, our industry, and our paucity of crime, a cha- racter which we formerly deservedly enjoyed ; and instead of being like a part of Scotland, we arc become, from the em- ployment of deadly knives or daggers, or the diabolical use of vitriol, as if we were the inhabitants of an Italian state. Rut alarming and atrocious, and novel as these crimes are, it is con- solatory to know, that there are individuals among us, who have the spirit and the ability to trace out and bring the offend- ers to the punishment they so well deserve; and while we look at the cases which have been brought before this Court, and at their nature, arid observe the short period that has elapsed between the commission of the crime, and the conviction of the offenders, especially iti such a case as the oil of vitriol as- sault, individuals, who were disposed to perpetrate such atro- cious offences must see that no means, however cunningly em- ployed, not even the subordination of witnesses, will screen them from punishment. His Lordship then went on to pay a well merited ccfmpliment to the Gentlemen whose duty it is to prepare the cases for trial, saying that he had never seen cases so well prepared. He said that he could not but congratulate the Sheriffs and Magistrates, and their officers, for the share each had in this laborious work. It is consolatory to observe that, however many cases have been brought before the Court, not one has been found necessary to be sent from Dumbarton- shire, and, considering, that it is a county, from its local situ- ation, exposed to the profuse use of spiritous liquors, the cir- cumstance is honourable to the inhabitants. His'Lordship next directed the attention of his hearers to the acknowledged increase of crime, and made some remedial ob- servations. He said that it was vexatious to observe, that while crime was on the decrease in England, it was on the increase in the west of Scotland. At York Assizes, which jurisdiction em- braces a large and populous district and which are just conclud- ed. there were only 36 cases ; and we had at the pre- ent Cir- cuit Court not less than 60 The same paucity of crime vvas observable at Lancaster Assizes where there were only between 40 and 50. The people in the west of Scotland had once the character of being sober ; but we have for a time lost that cha- racter ; and it is only by returning to virtuous habits that we can regain it. His Lordship denied that the increase of population was tbe only cause of this state of demoralization. In his opinion a great s;> urc of crime in this district is the crowded state of the Jail and Bridewell of Glasgow, which afford no means of'clas- sification, ainong the prisoners ; the less guilty being mixed with the more guilty ; and being thus exposed to corrupting con- versation, the increase of crime is the natural consequence.— He said that he was glad he was making these remarks in the hearing of those who had the power and disposition to remove the evil. The size of the jail is not sufficient for the quantity of crime that now exists in this large manufacturing district, as there cannot be any demarkatiott among the prisoners from the small space it occupies ; and it is quite obvious that tile re- quisite care and attention cannot be bestowed on the prisoners ; and there is no doubt the vicious habits acquired within are com- municated to the boys without. His Lordship, however, bore testimony to the care bestowed on the religious instruction of the prisoners ; but declared his firm conviction, that so long as there was no classification among the prisoners, things will not be bettered. The time has now arrived when an enlargement of the jail must take piace, as it is absolutely necessary. The gentlemen of Renfrewshire deserved great praise for the man- ner in which they had erected their Bridewell. His Lordship observed, that it was. no answer to say that the city of Glasgow had lately erected a prison, at an enpente, he believed, of L. 50,000. Since the date of its erection, crime had doubled, nay nearly tripled, in quantity. On the English Circuits, the Court sit short hours— so short, that had the Judges not sat longer each day at Glasgow, they would not have been able to close the business within a fortnight. The County of Kent has set a noble example, as they had erected a jail at Maidstone, the expense of which is about L. 200,000. The jail his Lord- ship pointed out as fit for imitation, was the new jail of Edin burgh ; and he remarked that the money, as in that city, should be raised by assessment. lie said that he had no wish to re- commend an increase of our public burdens, but circumstances rendered it absolutely necessary ; and thi? re was no propriety in taking the requisite sum from the town funds. He then directed the attention of the proper authorities to that prolific source of crime— resetting. He directed that in- dividuals guilty of this crime should not be allowed to go on in its commission, from time to time, until it was necessary to place them at the bar of tin Circuit Court ; but that the very first conviction should be sufficient to banish the individual be- yond the jurisdiction of the local Court. All houses where stolen goods- are resetted, and houses of ill fame, where the boys are harboured, ought to be repressed. His Lordship also observed, that it was matter of considera- tion, the propriety of erecting a house of refuge for helpless and unprotected children, who may be deprived by the stroke of death, or otherwise, of the benefit of their parents. In allusion to the vitriolic acid and stabbing assaults, his Lordship observed, that if the convictions at the present Circuit did not prove sufficient to put down these crimes in Scotland, he was afraid that it would be necessary to procure from the Legislature, an extension of Lord Ellenborough's Act to this part of the Empire. Ilis Lordship said it was not the wish of the Judges to increase the number of capital offences ; but if these crimes are continued, his Lordship said, he could not insure the country against the above addition. demand of tlic ensuing scr. sftn.

KINCARDINESHIRE. The weather during the first thirteen davs of the month was dry and airy. On the morning of the 14th there was a pretty strong hoar frost, followed h\ heavy rain in the afternoon, which prevailed through the most of the night, and succeeding forenoon ; and ultimately occasioned many of the mountain, streams to overflow their banks, and do a good deal of injury. On tlie 16th there was also a good deal of rain, and less or more on the 19th, 21st, 22d and afternoon of the 22d, and on the last of these days except one it was accompanied by high winds from the north. From this until last night that it commenced raining, and still eontimies4 the wea- ther was droughty, and, with the exception of strong hoar frost on the mornings of the 27th, 28th, an J 29 th, particularly on the latter, favourable both for filling and cutting down the crop. On the mornings of the 28th and 29th, ice was observed in several instances on stand- ing water, a degree ot frost which it is feared has proved injurious to not a few y) f tin?? oats in low situations. Except a little Chester, and a few fields of barley in the more eailv situations, nothing was done to the harvest in this district before the middle of the month, and com- paratively little Until about the 23d or 24th, when it appeared to have become general. Most of the bear and barlev, several fields of wheat, and a small propor- tion of the oats are now reaped, but remarkably little of either carried to the stack - yard. Most of the pease are also cut, and it appears they are very deficient of corn, and in some cases both straw and corn. Beans also seem verv deficient of pods. In some instances we have observed the stem tolerably well podded towards the upper and lower ends, with a vacancy in the middle. As to the merits of these respective kinds of crop we con- ceive it still rather premature to hazard an opinion.— Wheat, as has been repeatedly stated, is to all ap- pearance an inferior crop, both as to quantity and quality. Barley perhaps a fair average as to bulk, but the grain nothing like in our opinion, so plump and fine as inexperienced people seem to anticipate. Oats some- what above an average as to bulk, and probably near about an average as to corn if safely got in. The wea- ther has been favourable to the dunging and sowing the fallows, and the wheat braird, so far as it has appeared, looks well, but the ground, in many instances, owing to unavoidable circumstances, is badly prepared. The want of pasture grass is generally, complained of. Tur- nips made tolerably good progress in the early part of the month, but have done little good of late, and to all ap- pearance, will prove a remarkably light crop; so also is the aftermath, or second crop of clover. Tares are now much used in this district for cows and work horses at this season ; and this year, owing to the failure of the grass, will be found more than ordinary useful. The price of lean stock, if any odds, ; s stiil declining. Fat continues much the same as at the date or our last, sav from 5s. to about 6s. a stone, a price not at all , corresponding; with the rents and incidental expences of the agricultu- rist. Grain marks are gradually dropping, and no doubt will do so fur some time, whatever course they may ulti- mately take. Bees have turned out a wretched concern. Not a hive perhaps in twenty have swarmed, and such as have, have done no good, therefore, in no instance* we presume, are they capable to make through the winter without considerable support.

' Harvest is finished through Britain, excepting the Northern extremities, where it is in full operation, as yet under fortunate circumstances, with respect to the weather. The favourable change during the past. month, has immensely increased the value of all the crops, hops excepted, which almost universally were too far gone in consumption to be recovered even by that best of physi- cians— a change of air. Wheat is every where a large crop, but a considerable portion of it will be rough, and coarse ; and there are those who assert that it shews no signs of bight ; farmers, however, do but exhibit in them selves signs of somewhat else. Beans will produce full one third more than the general expectation. Peas a fair crop. Barlev superabundant. Oat3, in some parts light, in others luxuriant. Rye, good. Potatoes, our second bread crop, most plentiful, and of fine quali- ty. Turnips are said to have received some check at the root, but the crop appears probable fully to equal the GENERAL RIEGO. [ PROM THE MADRID GAZETTE^ PROCLAMATION by GENERAL BALLASTEROS,. Don Antonio Salinas, the General commanding the- pro- vince of Cordova, has transmitted, under date of the 15th, to the Inspector- General of Cavalry, the following document.: — SPANIARDS !— With' the army under my command, I was tranquilly awaiting tlie happy results of t. he convention con- cluded with Ins Excellency Count Molitor, and approved by his Royal Highness the Duke of Angouleme, and employing myself solely in conciliating tfie minds of the Spaniards, as the most efficacious means of remedying the evils of afflicted Spain, when General Riego presented himself at my cantonments, putting forth pretensions which the nation disclaims, and to which I could not accede ; and provoking me to a contest which my heart resisted, but which military duty and honour commanded me to accept. I therefore proceeded to make the. necessary disposition or' the troops under my command, for re- ceiving the enemy, and resisting his attempts ; but consider- ing that the soldiers would be reluctant to engage in such com- bat, I advanced in front of the Cacadores, to overcome their repugnance, and to remind them of their duty. My fears and hopes began to be realized, and my troops, following my ex- ample, rushed forward against such enemies as presented them- selves; but Riego did not seek the success of his designs by the honourable conflict of arms, but endeavoured to obtain it by dark machinations. His object was to make the. army mutiny, and by means qf the disorder and contusion to aug- ment the number of his partisans, and thereby to prolong the sufferings of the country. In effect, and doubtless in conse- quence of previous preparation, his soldiers affecting horror at the idea of the combat which themselves provoked, threw away their arms, and rushed forward to embrace my troops, exclaim- ing. ' Union." and shouting repeated vivas to Riego, to the constitution of the year 1 2, and to Baflasteros. Riego, at the same time, made offers to me of the command of his troops, and of all the troops of Andalusia and Estremadura, suppos- ing. perhaps, in his heated imagination, that these proposals would implicate me in his views, or rather making them with the deliberate intention of seducing my soldiers for the purpose of afterwards converting them into the instruments for promot- ing his designs. Inconsiderate man ! R « ! ego kf evv not Ballasteros when he so presumed respecting tne; nor was he capable of appreciat- ing the military virtues of this army. If the sincere pleasure experienced by many of my troops at the amicable conclusion of a scene which at fir.- t promised to be so sanguinary, was cap- able of throwing them off their guard, and making them for- get for some moments the discipline to which they are accus- tomed, thus depriving me of the power of destroying so crimi- nal a project in its origin, they promptly recovered from their first surprise, and being made aware of the designs of Riego, returned to their duty. None of them would incorporate them- selves in the ranks of that chief. Solely attentive to saving my army without any consideration for my own person, I then ordered my troops to encamp, for the purpose of separating them from those of Riego, and I remained with a small guard in my lodgings. The plans of the actor-; in this plot being thus disappointed, and the hopes which Riego had entertained of making this army join in his enterprises having vanished, he conceived the idea of making himself master of my person ; and disarming my guard, arrested me in my lodgings, with the chief of my staff, arid other superior officers who were in my company. What was the object of this arrest, and why it was not farther acted upon, itiego and his accomplices can alone ex- plain, and men of honour may conceive the degree of treach- ery and perfidy which, this attempt involved. I limit myself to staving the event such as it occurred, in order that maligni- ty may not disfigure it, or indolence afford opportunity of si- nister representations. I have also the satisfaction of stating, that this army not only maintains discipline in full vigour, but that its indignation against the conduct of Genera! Riego has extended to the ranks of his own troops, and that many of his officers and soldiers have recognised his'misconduc?, arid have placed themselves under my command. Among these are to be leckoned the brilliant and worthy'Sp'riniards of- the regiment of Numantia and Espana. Riego marches in disorder, and is pursued on every side, for wiiich reason the point to which he directs his course cannot be stated with precision, but it is known that he has passed" through Maxttfs. [ FROM FRENCH PAPERS.^ ANDLTJA R, Sept. 17,— At the moment I am writing Riego is in prison here. All Andujar wason foot yesterday, expect- ing his arrival ; and such was the ferment among the people, that it. was feared the troops of the garrison would not be suf- ficient. to prevent the people from proceeding to extremities.-— Many of the people waited up until three o'clock in- ex pec tat ion of seeing him arrive. At length he made his appearance about eight. It is impossible to give an idea of the effect produced on the pnpulace. Our troops had much difficulty in keeping them within bounds. Crfcs of'" Long live Ferdinand," '' Dea'h to Riego," were heard in all directions. He was escorted by 20 men and a party of the peasants by whom he was arrested. The latter did not lose sight of him for a moment, until they saw him safe in prison. At Carolina the people had much difficulty in intrusting him to our soldiers; and to make it more certain that he should not escape, one of them was about to dispatch him with his carbine, when he was prevented by the French officer in whose charge he was. Riego was ac- companied by an English Colonel who had been taken prisoner with him. They were both on horseback, and dressed, in a sort of grey surtout, without any decoration. When he ar- rived opposite a balcony from " which the year before he har- angued the people, he turned round to the French officer, and pointing to the crowds which surrounded them, he said, " These people whom now you see so enraged against me, who, with- out your interference, would have ere this put an end to my life, bore me in triumph here last year ; and the town, against my wish, forced me to accept of a sword as a testimonial— During the whole night I passed here, the houses were illu- minated, the people danced under my windows, and deafened me with their acclamations." SEPT. 19-— General Riego, is still herein the prison of the city, together with three officers who were made prisoners with him at Arquilos One of them is an English officer, who affects great indifference, and whom Riego occasionally ban- ters. When his turn came to declare his name and quality, he said his name was Williams, and that he was an adventurer.— Upon the whole the prisoners passed their time more gaily than might, be supposed. Riego is very communicative, and he de- lights to talk with the French, whose language he speaks per- fectly. I availed myself yesterday of this disposition of his to see him. He intreated myself and another person to enter his room, and we remained about three hours talking with him. We asked him why, and for what object, he quitted Cadiz ? He replied, that he was generally supposed to be much more powerful with his parly than he really was, arid that his leav- ing Cadiz was by nd means the result of his own wishes ; but arose rather from the order of the Cortes, among whom he had many enemies, who were delighted with an opportunity of thrusting him forward. He said that he was perfectly aware of the snare, and that he was even on the point of embarking for Gibraltar to join his wife ; but that the dread of passing for a coward prevented him. He went first to Malaga, where, pursuant to an order of the Cortes, he removed Zayas, and caused him to embark for Cadiz; be confessed itiat he had < loiie the same with about fifty priests, but still merely in obe- dielice to the instructions of the CoHes ; and he gave us his word of honour, that neither at Malaga, nor at Jaon, nor at Mixtos, had he committed any of the a trot i ties imputed to him. His object in quitting Jaeri, and seeing himself pursued by General Bonnemain, was to thro w himself into Catalonia, and join Mina. He did not. expect to find French troops at An- dujar. It appears, however, that the Constitutionalists are badly supplied with spies, for we caused him considerable sur- prise, seven or eight times, by mentioning; things wliich- vvere perfectly well known. He said, that at Cadiz they were en- tirely ignorant of political events, and when he left it he did not believe in the submission of Ballasteros. He related to us, with minute details, his last interview, with Bai!* s* ero% He said he was so persuaded that this: General would join him, that before speaking to him upon the. subject, he lost some time in frivolous- conversation ; but when, at length, he put tbe question, B illasteros replied, ihat ne had given his word to the French and that he would not betray it Riego, fancying he saw a considerable degree of self- love in this refusal of Ballasteros, and imagining that he would not like to find himself under his oVders, went so far as to propose to serve as his Aide- de- Camp in the campaign. Ballasteros remained firm, and Riego then removed the guard which was at the General's door, and placed some of his own soldiers there. It was in this manner that. Rallasteros found himself a prisoner. Rtego talked with us also of his last affair at Uien ; and he told us that'neither officers nor soldiers would fight, al- though on the very morning of that day ihey all demanded to be led against the French. What induced him to take to flight after this affair was the circumstanet of a ball being fired at him by one of his own soldiers, who was behind him. The ball killed his horse, and wounded himself slightly in the thigh. He defended himself warmly against the accusation of hav- ing ill- treated the King on the road from Seville to Cadiz- — He said it was decidedly against his opinion that the King was removed, and that he had the highest possible regard for his Majesty. He considers his cause as entirely lost. He says that if Cadiz continues to receive provisions, it may yet hold out a longtime ; but that his party were extinct, and that he could wish to see Cadiz open its gates. These words made us smile a little. He spoke with unbounded furv of the cowaidice of his officers and soldiers ; he Said that all' Spaniards were cowards. He could not imagine how 250 French cavalry could be at 2600 infantry, and nearly 800 cavahy. He sard, in fact, that tins affair was a mere pale rhele encounter. A soldier ran away with his portmanteau, in which there were 30,000 duros, cither in gold or paper. Petri are immense. Tins- fort, which is situated at the month of the river Santa Maria, defended the passage of that river, and prevented our troops from penetrating on that point into the Isle of Leon. Besides, it was under the protection of this fort that Cadiz was conti- nually re- victualled by the small boats which slipped into the river Santa Maria. Now, our gun- boats can pene- trate into the river, defend the flving bridges which wc may throw over it, and afford our troops all the means- necessary for invading the Isle of Leon. We shall doubtless soon have great news. We are about to sec the developenient of the sequel of the excel- lent operations so well calculated by the Prince Gene ralissimo. It was our fleet which reduced the fort of Santi Petri, It mav be reasonably supposed that some days would be necessary to effect a landing on the Isle of Leon, after the reduction of the fort, which took place on the even- ing of'the 30th. In a city, already convulsed bv trie carrying of the TrocaJero, it may be judged what must be the effect of the double news of the arrest of Riego and tiie taking of the fort of Santi Petri. Let us wait the event. The Duke of Angouleme has proved to us that we lose nothing bv waiting TELEGR APH IC DISPATCH. PA HIS, Sept —;' L'lie garrison of St. Sebastiaii capitulated on the 27th.

ONI, SOUIA, Sept. 21—" Three columns of the enemy, in number G000 men infantry, and 100 horse, with ten pieces of cannon, came from Barcelona on the 12th of September, at half- past five o'clock in the morning, marching against the left of the line of investment. The first column followed the sea side; the sccond inarched on Olot; and the third on tho part of the line between Gracia and Casa Donna. The first column, much more considerable than the two others, directed its principal efforts against. La Casa Nova, La Casa Miians, and La Casa Donna. " General IV- cadieu immediately ordered the reserve to march. The enemy, attacked by these troops, and with the fire of our artillery, was forced to retreat. We lost one officer; one soldier was killed, and 17 wound- ed. According to reports, the enemy had 200 killed. ( Signed) " MOXCEY." ARMY OF TIIE PYRENEES. REPORT OP THE MAJOR- GENERAL.

There is every reason to believe, that this chief, who was overtaken on the 18th at Jaen, by General Bonnemains, and pur- sued swoid in hand to Mancha Real, where our troops arrived on the same day at eleven o'clock at night, had, on the following day, a new affair, which destroyed his corps, or was abandoned by his troops. 1 shall have the honour to semi- to your Excellency the details, which, no doubt, will soon come to hand.

The D eputies having assembled in the accustomed place ami the Session being opened, those articles of the Constitution and of the internal regulation of tho Cortes were read, which treat of the causes, mode and formulas, by wh'cti t'ie Extraordinary Cortes are to be constituted ; after which the President of tho Perma- nent Deputation spoke as follows: " SENOHS—' I'lie King has deemed it proper, and even ne- cessary, that the Extraordinary Cortes should assemble, lor the purpose of deliberating on a Report which his Majesty'* Government will presenton tile present state of the nation. It is not ill my power lo inform you of the contents or the object of this statement, as I am ignorant of them myself; hut the sad situation to which our beloved country is so unfortunately re- duced, will be sufficient to warn you to prepare yourselves to feel additional pangs, and to sutler fresh griefs and affliction*. " Causes and events which are too well known to require 10 be mentioned, have brought us to u frightful crisis; and though rough and stormy as has been the path which we have hitherto trodden, that which we have yet to pursue will not fni more smooth and ag- e,- aide. Impartial and upright men will do us justice in every age and in e^ ery country. Tlie blame of such disasteis is not ours. Called by our Constituents, we could not but conform sa the authority which assembled us; it was not in our power to make cho- ee of any other rule of conduct, nor could we forget the sacred oaths wniclk we had taken, " Whatever- may be the fate to ivbicli we are destined, honour still remains with us; and I hope that your patriotism and wisdom will be abte tu maintain it in the new deliberations on which we are about to enter, in order Ihat you muj- also pre- serve the testimony of a pure and guiltless conscience, afford- ing a sweet consolation and imperturbable tranquillity in the midst of the greatest calamities and misfortunes." The Secretary Lioreute read the list of the Deputies residing in the Isle of Cadiz, amounting to 111, and the President directed that the Cortes should proceed to take the oath required bv the Constitution. The vienors being in their respective places, the President said, " This dav, the 6th of September, 1823, the Cortes Extraordinary are installed conform- ably to order ol convocation."' A Secretary read a dispatch from the Minister ot' Grace and Justice, which stated that his Majesty had appointed the hour of five o'clock ihat evening for re- ceiving the deputation, which would have to announco to him the installation of tbe Cortes. OPENING OF THE SESSION OF THE CORTES EX- TRAORDINARY OF 18' 23. The Deputies being assembled, the President declar- ed the Session commenced. All the Ministers were present, and the So'crotnry of State for the Home Department presented the King's Speech, which vvas read by the President. It was as follows : " Senores Deputies! — On that solemn day on which the Ordinary Cortes for the present year clossed their Session, £ announced lo you that if circumstances- should require it, t would seek iu the Cones Extraordinary tbe port of salvation for the vessel of Stale ; and a Report which my Government will, by my order, present lo you. will show ihat the resiel of the State is on the point of being wrecked, if the measures of the Cortes do not contribute to save it. - in pursuance, therefore, of v. hat I then announced— of the - critical nature of circumstances and the ardumjs state of affairs— I have con-, sidered it necessary that the Cortes Extraordinary should as- semble, in order that, taking into consideration the said Re- port, they may resolve, with their accustomed zeal and patri- otism, on the measures most advantageous for the public cause. What my Government will make known to you will also palpably demonstrate how fruitless have been the efforts made for obtaining an honourable peace ; because the enemy, per- sisting, contrary to every right, in putting forward his pro- position for interference in the a flairs of the kingdom, obsti- nately refuses to treat, except with me alone and free, and wishes not so to consider me, if I do not. go and place myself amidst their bayonets. Inconceivable and ominous liberty, whose only basis is to he the dishonourable act of deliver- ing myself up at discretion into the hands of the aggres- sors ! " Provide, then, Senores Deputies, for the necessities ofthe country, for which lought not, and never would wish to sepa- rate my fate ; and convinced as you must be, that the enemy pays no regard to reason aud jttstice, when unsupported by force, examine promptly the existing evils and their remedy. •• Cadiz, Sept. 6. " FERDINAND." Senores Saavedra, Goner, Iluiz de la Vega, Cuadra, and Tomas, were chosen to compose the deputation for presenting the reply to his Majesty s Speech. The President stated that the Sitting would be re- sumed at seven o'clock, and the Cortes adjourned. SITTING AT SEVEN O CLOCK, AND SECRET COMMITTEE. The Royal order for convoking the Extraordinary Cortes and the list of the Members of the Committee for the Correction of Stvle were read. The Secretary also read articles 77 and 78 of the orders for regulating the proceedings of tlie Cortes, and the President observed, that in virtue of the powers which those- articles gave to the Government, tlie Secretary of State proposed that the Report referred to in his Majesty's Speech, and which hail given occasion to the convocation, should be made in a secret Sitting. Tiie Cortes, after hearing it read in the secret Sitting, would determine whether it should Lie discussed in public. Tiie Cortes then resolved into a Secret Committee. PUBLIC SITTING. The President stated that the Cortes had resolved that the subject of their Secret Sitting should be report- ed in public. The Report of the Government, on account of which the Extraordinary Cortes were convoked was then read. It consisted in representing to the Congress the melan- choly situation of the country ; the conduct which the Government had followed in all occurrences, in all cases, since the invasion of the French ; the efforts re- peatedly made to obtain an honourable peace ; the nullity of these efforts, in consequence of the obstinacy with which the enemy persists in his course ; aud above all, the situation of the Gaditanian Island ; the want of re- sources, and the necessity that the Cortes should ener- getically unfold all the means of co- operating with the Government, in the object of the cause for which the present contest is maintained. The Cortes ordered that the Report should be re- ferred to a Special Committee It was ordered that there should be referred to the same Committee the last dispatch presented in the Secret Sitting bv Don Cavetano Valdes, iu which Count Bor- desoulle, Commander- in- Chief of the French corps in line, stated that the reply of his Catholic Majesty to Don Miguel de A lava, not having been satisfactory, and the Duke of Angonleme declining to enter into nnv discussion, unless upon tiiose bases, he ( Bordesoul- le) hoped that bv eight o'clock that night the said satis- factory reply would be given; it beiag understood, if the contrary should be the- case, that all negotiation' was broken off', and that affairs must revert to tiie ordi- nary course. Reference was also made to the Committee of Senor Valdes* answer, which stated that the Government hav- ing thought proper to convoke the Cortes Extraordinary, no reply could be given bv the hour pointed out, but that it would lie transmitted on the following day. The following proposition was then read : V The Cortes will be pleased to resolve, that there granted to- tbe- Junta of Defence, appointed bv the Governor of Cadiz, the most ample powers for adopting every means which may be considered requisite for the defence of the Gaditanian island." Approved. The Cortes then adjourned, CORRESPONDENCE BETWEEN THE DUKE D'ANGOULEME AND THE KING OF STAIN. Sir., MY BROTHER AND COUSIN— Spain is delivered from the revolutionary yoke. A few fortified towns now only serve as an asylum to implicated persons. The King, my Uncle and Lord had thought ( and event, have in no wise changed bis opinion), that your Majesty, restored to liberty, and using clemency, would think it advisable to grant an amnesty neces- sary after so . any troubles, and to give to your people, by the convocation of the ancient Cortes of tbe Kingdom, guar- antees for the re- establishment of order, justice, and good administration. All that France could perform, as well as her Allies, aud the whole of Europe, in order to consolidate this act of your wisdom, I do not hesitate myself, to become a guarantee, shall be done. I thought it my duty to remind your Majesty, and through you, all those who may still pre- vent the evils which threaten tliem, of the feelings of the King, mv Uncle and Lord. If, in five days hence, I shall not have received any satisfactory answer, and if at that period your Majesty should still be " deprived of your liberty, I shall reeur to force in order to restore it to you. Those who should listen to their passions in preference to the interests of their country, will alone be answerable for tbe blood that may be spilled. I am, with the most profound respect, your very affectionate brother, cousin, and servant, ( Signed) LOUIS ANTOINE. From my Head quarters, at Port St. Mary's, this 17th of August, 1823. ANSWER. Sir, my Brother and Cousin — I have received the letter of your Royal Highness, dated the 17th inst. and it is in truth very remarkable, that till now the intentions of my Brother and Uncle, the Kiug of France, have not been manifested to trie, vhen it js now six months since his troops invaded my king- dom, and are causing, in support thereof, so many calamities to my subjects. The yoke from which your Royal Highness pretends to have delivered Spain, never existed, nor am 1 deprived of any other liberty than that of which the operations of the French Army have stripped me. The best manner of restoring this to me, and of leaving the Spanish people in possession of theirs, would be to respect our rights, as we respect those of others, and that a foreign power should cease to interfere by means of an armed force in our internal affair,. Tbe paternal sentiments of my heart arc, with regard to my- self, the most secure rule, andtbe most powerful stimulus to estimate and seek a remedy for the wants of my subjects. If greater guarantees for the preservation of order and justice should be wished by them, with them I will agree on tbe same, and iu the meantime let me be allowed to state to your Royal Highness, that what with ibis view you point out to me is as incompatible with the dignity of my Crown, as it is with the actual state and political situation of things, with the rights, customs and prosperity of tbe nation which I govern. To raise up again, after three centuries of oblivion, an institution, varied, changeable, and as monstrous as tbe ancient Cortes of the kingdom were, in which the nation w; as never assembled, and never possessed a true Representation, would, on the other hand, be the same or worse than to renew the States- General in France; it would, besides, be insufficient to secure tran- quillity and public order, without affording advantage to any one ot the classes of the Stale, would produce the difficulties aud inconveniences which in former times were experienced and which have always been known when this subject had been treated of. It is not the King who is the proper channel for the sugges- tions your Royal Highness has thought it your fluty to make, neither is it possible or just that he should be called upon to prevent evils which he neither causes nor merits ; this appeal ought rather to be made to the voluntary author of them. I wish, together with my nation, that an honourable and solid peace should put an end to the disasters ofthe present war, which we have not provoked, and is as prejudicial to France as it is to Spain. 1 have on this subject communica- tions pending with the Government of bis Britannic Majesty, whose mediation has also been solicited by his Most Christian Jtlajesty, frcro which I tannot depart, nor do I think your Royal Highness might. If, notwithstanding these declara. tions of mine, force should be abused under the pretext your Royal Highness insinuates, those who do it will he answer- able for the blood spilt, and your Royal Highness will be par- ticularly so before God and man, for the evils you may bring upon my Royal person and family, and upon this meritorious city. Giid preserve your Highness, my brother and cousin, tnany years, & c.— Cadiz. Aug. 21, 1S2.3. ( Signed) I, THE KING. FROM GERMAN PAPERS. CONSTANTINOPLE, Aug. 5-— Tiie festival of the Bairam has passed over verv quietly. Eye witnesses affirm that the Sultan, as he went in solemn procession to the Mosque, had a serious and gloomy look. Peace having been concluded with Persia and ratified by the Mufti, a Member of the Divan has been sent to the frontiers of Persia. The latest news from the Morea and the other revolt- ed provinces, are very unfavourable to the Porte. It seems that the army of the Pacha of Scutari has been again dissolved, and that the Capitan Pacha has not an- swered the expectations that were entertained of him. The removal of Dschenib Effendi caused a great sen- sation here ; lie was first confined to his palace, and then discharged. ODESSA, Sept. 2.— We have accounts from Con- stantinople of the 26th August, which state, that the negociations relative to the decision, so that it is thought possible that the desired result may be produced while the Emperor is in Bessarabia. Lord Strangford having received fresh instructions, presented ori the 11th Aug. an energetic Note, caused by an expression of the Ueis EfTctldi to Mr. Chabert, the Dragoman of the English Embassy, that he would hear no more of the affairs of Russia. In this Note the Noble Lord said, that it should seem there were in tiie Divan parti- sans ofthe Insurgents, who were charged with the di- rection ofthe affairs of Greece, but who had conducted them to the detriment of the Porte. The obstacles which thev have thrown in the way of the trade of Rus- sia in the Black Sea seemed calculated to irritate Russia ; that the Allied Courts were obliged to express that the honour of that power prescribed other measures ; that they had till now endeavoured to prevent them, but could do so no longer; that the Divan had no more time to lose, and ought to come to a resolution. The Ministers of Austria and Russia presented simi- lar Notes, which seem to have produced he> r effect ; since, on the 16th, the Sultan dismissed P- henib Ef- fendi, who was at the head of the fanatical party in the Divan. TRIESTE, Sept. 22.-— The Capitan . cha was still ofTPatras on the 26th of August and there were diseases in his. fleet. CORFU, Sept. 5.— It is announced that the son of Colocotroni has just married the daughter of Peitro Beg, of Raina, and that this marriage, by uniting these two Chiefs, who were hitherto opposed to each other, has greatly contributed to promote conciliation in the Morea. Sixteen thousand men of the best troops now occupy the Isthmus of Corinth, and defend, the passage. The Montenegrins, as well as the inhabitants of Agrapha and its environs, have taken arms against the Turks, and the Pacha of Scutari, who had already sustained one de- feat is surrounded on all sides. Bv letters from Zante, dated August 20, we are informed that a conference, which had just before taken place at Patras, between the English Vice- Admiral Sir Graham Moore and the Captain Pacha commanding the Turkish naval force in the neighbourhood of Zante, relative to the existing Turkish block- ade, the same has been regularly acknowledged, being kept up with an efficient force at the following places : " The Gulf of Arta ( Salvia expected, but vessels clearing for tbe port of Salvaza are to obtain a pass from the Turkish authorities at l'revisa), Dragometha, Catachi, Patacin, Mis- solungbi, Gulf of Lepanto and Chooranza. " Special licences are to be granted by tbe President ofthe Island of Zante and Dragometha, but for the sole purpose of bringing over cattle for the consumption of the islands. It is also understood that in case the Ottoman fleet should hereafter find it necessary to extend the blockade to other ports, timely notice will be given." THE POPE AND PARADISE. PARIS, Sept. 17 By a letter from Rome of a very recent date, we learn that the 50 and odd church- men who wear the Cardinal's hat had not yet decided who of their number should be selected as St. Peter's successor. Meanwhile the capital of the Catholic world was as much a scene of intrigue and corruption as an English close l*> rough before an election. The Austrian influence was said to be exerted to exclude Gonsalvi from the papal chair, and the French Ambas- sador had procured tlie political annihilation of Cardinal Fesch. Some speak of Zurla, who is a kind of savant, and has written a book on geography; but being a Venetian, he detests the Austrians, and is likely on that account to be set aside. It is most probable that the sacred college will fix upon some meek old dotard, who will give them little trouble while living, and will soon have the civility to depart and leave the triple crown to more ambitious competitors. It will- be difficult to find, in every respect, a roan more to their mind, or a mail better calculated for his high office, than his late holiness; and yet, strange to tell, it is reported at Rome, that he has not gained that ready admission into Paradise, which his mild reign arid pious services would seem to have merited in the eyes of our Catholic brethren. It is well known, that from bis advancement to the Pontificate, Pius VII. was governed by Gonsal vi, ana that Gonsalvi was go- verned by his Secretary. On those facts and the late conduct of the Secretary, a story has been framed respecting his deceased Holiness, which at present makes a great noise in the capital of Christendom. 11 is stated in this story, that when Pius VII. died, and went ac- cording to custom, to knock at the gates of Paradise, St. Peter, as usual, appeared to demand, " Who was there ?" Pope Pius, of course, told his predecessor what happened, and begged admission. St. Peter said, he had no objection to receive him, but asked a little delay to consult superior authority. He accordingly went to the Virgin Mary, and delivered the message. The Virgin expressed some surprise at the delicacv of his Holiness, and said that he might of course open the gates, and come in without asking questions, for he himself had the keys. St. Peter therefore returned, and desired his Holiness to use the keys,— Pius VII. replied, that he had left them with Gonsalvi. A celes- tial messenger was immediately dispatched to Gonsalvi, the late Pope standing all the while shivering at the gate. The expedition was useless— the kevs were not to be found. Gonsalvi said that they were iii posses- sion of his Secretary. Search was immediately made in the house of the Secretary, but it was found that he had disappeared a few days before with a celebrated ballerina, or opera- dancer, and had carried the keys along with him. Pius VII. is therefore obliged to stand O O at the gate till the Secretary be found. If this story should seem to savour of irreverence. towards the Catho- lic faith, or to betray an unbecoming levity towards its late venerable chief, be it remembered that it is no Protestant invention, but was hatched in the Vatican, and passes current among the members of the sacred college and the existing fathers of the church. AMERICA. Brazil papers to the 5th of August, afford scarcely any information relative to the state of affairs in that country. It would appear that the invasion of Spain was considered a subject of paramount importance in Brazil : but the counter- revolution in Portugal, ac- counts of which bad arrived at Rio de Janeiro, was cal- culated to excite a still more intense interest. The proclamations of Prince Miguel and the King, on the overthrow of the. constitutional system, ar^ inserted- in the Diario do Governo, but not a hint is given of the light iu which either the Government or' the ' public' viewed this extraordinary event. Buenos Ayres papers have been received which con- tain some important documents. The first is a pre- liminary convention of peace, concluded between the Commissioners of the King of Spain and the South American provinces, dated the beginning of last July. By this Convention, war is to cease for eighteen months," till the final treaty of peace is signed. The riextfdocument, being a supplement to the preceding, is the legal authorization of the Government of Buenos Ayres to ratify the before- mentioned Convention, and also to admit thereunto the other South American States, Chili, Peru, & e. The last is a law, or a law project, authorising the Government of Bijanos Ayres to assist the Constitutional Government of Old Spain with the same sum of monev to resist the French inva- sion, as the two Legislative Bodies of France had then voted in order to carry it into execution. Private letters from Rio Janeiro speak with consi- derable apprehension of the designs of the patriotic Emperor, who, it is thought, will be excited, bv the late counter- revolution in Portugal, to demands of a very unconstitutional nature. SANTA MARTHA, Aug. 5 A capitulation has been proposed by Colonel Lopez, second in command to General Morales, to the Colombian General mauding the army of Sulia ; the chief demand in which is, that the army, which is stationed in various parts of that province, when concentrated, shall embark unmo- lested, and be conveyed to the island of Cuba, depart- ing with all their arms, baggage, and families, each man having 60 rounds of cartridges. The modification agreed to by the Commander of Snlia excludes the de- parture of any but Spaniards ; such Colombian serjennts, corporals, and soldiers, as are serving with the Spanish army, not being allowed to quit the country, but op- tionally to enter the Colombia service, or remain pri- soners until exchanged, or be free to return to their homes. The proposal was made from on board the ltayo on the 28th July, and replied to from tbe Colom- bian head- quarters, Altagracia, the next day. It is reported, on the authority of a letter from Ja- maica, that the foregoing capitulation has been carried into effect. From the LONDON GAZETTE, Oct. 4. Whiu.;. Jl, Sept. 27.

Wednesday being the day appointed for his Majesty's en- trance into Windsor Castle, great preparations were made by the Corporation of the borough to pay that homage to the King upon the occasion, which their loyalty and local interests alike dictated. On Monday an address was voted to his Majesty, expressing the loyal attachment of the borough, the gratitude which they felt towards the King, for his formally entering upon the occupation of the Palace of his ancestors ; their hope that his Majesty would make it the principal seat of his resi- dence, a gracious act, which would, no doubt, make this town as remarkable for tbe taste and beauty of its local attraction, as other parts of the kingdom in the vicinity ofthe Royal Palaces. At half- past three o'clock a messenger announced that tbe Kiug might be momentarily expected. The appearance of dragoons confirmed the messenger's notification, and the de- putation, as w eil as the attending crowd, filed off at each side of the avenue. The Royal escort, which consisted of a de- tachment ofthe horse guards ( Blue), advanced slowly along tile walk ; his Majesty's travelling carriage, drawn by four horses, followed. The King was dressed in the Windsor uniform, and was attended by the Dukes of Wellington and Dorset, who also wore that dress. The next carriage contained the Marquis of Conyngham, Lord Francis Conyngham, and Sir William Keppel. A third carriage contained Sir William Congreve, General Upton, and two other ofthe King's equer- ries. The whole of the suite were dressed in the Windsor uui- form. A detachment ofthe horse guards ( Blue) closed the Royal cortege. When the King's carriage arrived in front of; the deputation, his Majesty was greeted with loud cheers, which lie acknowledged by repeated obeisances to the people. The King appeared in good spirits, and evidently gratified with his reception by the inhabitants. The King was received at Windsor Castle by several officers of the [ loyal household, who were in attendance ; and his Majesty had a select diuner party of twenty in the evening. At twelve o'clock the Mayor and deputation from the Cor- poration proceeded in three carriages from the Town- ball to present the address to his Majesty. The deputation was re- ceived at the Castle bv the Marquis of Conytigham and Lord Graves, who was the Lord in waiting. The Mayor presented to the Marquis the address, who, on receiving it, said, that he was commanded by his Majesty to express to tire Mayor, Corporation, and inhabitants of Windsor, the gratification he derived from their cordial reception the previous day ; and that the King would have on this day- gone to see the dinner pro- vided for the people, were'not his Majesty unfortunately con- fined to the Castle by indisposition. The King's illness is an attack of the rheumatic gout. At one o'clock the dinner to the populace was served up in the High Street ; tables were laid at each side of the foot- ways, and the path . kept open by the Mayor and constables. About 2000 people, who were furnished with tickets, partook of the repast, w hich consisted of roast and boiled beef, and roast veal, sallads, and plenty of ale. Unfortunately the ox was not in a condition to be served up in due form, the roasting having been but partially effected— such parts as were done were sup- plied, and the remainder will he baked and distributed among the poor. Two roasted sheep were brought in a cart, placed at the beads of the tables, and cut up at the feast. Whilst the people were at dinner, the Marquis of Couynghani, tiie Earl of Fife, Lord Graves, General Bolton, and some olher members of the King's household, passed between the tables, and expressed their satisfaction at the order and regularity which prevailed. The Earl of Harrington, who is Governor of Windsor Cas- tle, with some ladies of his family, viewed the feast from tbe balcony of the Castle inn. The moment the people were seat- ed at the tables, the bands of tbe horse guards ( blue) and fusi- leers, which paraded between the lines, played the favourite air of O the roast beef of old England." They afterwards played " God save the King"—" Rule Britannia," and other popular airs to accompany the toasts. Sir It. liirnie, and the Bow Street police, were present to assist in the maintenance of order. Tpwnshend, the old police attendant at Windsor, under- took the higher duty of escorting the Marquis of Conyngham and tiie Earl of Fife through the crowd. Sir Edmond Nagle bad also the advantage of Towushend's explanation of the dif- ferent joints which covered the tables. The greatest and most commendable order prevailed at the dinner ; a respectable in- habitant presided as steward for every forty of the guests, and the carving and distribution was conducted witu the greatest regularity. It was a very gratifying sight to see the number of comfortably dressed women and children who dined at the tobies. The grace was announced by discharges of carrofiades from ihe park, and Mr. Austin, a wine merchant, furnished gratuitously a stock of wine to afford two glasses each to the people. The following toasts were given, amid loud cheering, after the dinner :—" The King. God bless him," tour times four. " The Royal Family," three limes three. " Prosperity to Windsor," three times three, 11 The subscribers to the dinner," three times three ; and " The land we live in," three times three. A number of fashionable company iu carriages drove through the streets during this hospitable treat, and the whole of the arrangements passed off with great eclat. The tables were cleared at three o'clock. EAST INDIA SHIPPING.

W. - DOVER, Oct. 3— His Majesty's steam packet the Arrow, Captain Hamilton, came into the harbour from Calais this morning, at twelve o'clock, bringing her Royal Highness the Princess Augusta Sophia, accom- panied by Miss Winyard, & c. & c. The Commanding Officer at the place, Major Taylor, Royal Artillery, was in attendance, and upon her Royal Highness reach- ing the hotel, the town band, which had assembled, struck up " God save tlie King," the guns at the heights fired royal salutes, and the standard was hoisted at the Castle. Sir Robert Wilson and Captain Erskine arrived at Cadiz on the 5th Septemlier. The name ol the Eng- lish gentleman who was taken with Riego is Hasker.— He was formerly an officer in the 23d fusileers. We have received Brussels and Dutch Papers to the Ist instant. There is an article in them, under the date of Nuremberg, which speaks of the policy intended to be pursued by the Kingdom of Hanover, which will " continue to make her the head ofthe kind of opposi- tion that has been remarked in the German Diet." We observe that this same topic is alluded to in the Journal de Bruxelles,. still more explicitly. " It appears," says that Paper, " that at the approaching opening of the German Diet, Hanover will continue to be at the head of the opposition which has been formed in that assembly, since the declaration made by the Ministers of Austria and Prussia, in consequence ofthe decisions of ' the Congress of Verona." Here the opposition which is mentioned, is traced to the Congress of Verona, and to measures which grew out of its deliberations. It is suffi- ciently notorious that England separated herself from her Allies at that Congress, in all that was determined upon with regard to Spain ; but it was not suspected, we be- lieve, that she had come into direct collision with Austria and Prussia, upon questions of purely German origin. We observe, by our Dover letter of this morning, that the Hon. Frederick Lamb, our Minister at Frankfort, lias arrived, and his return may perhaps have some con- nection with this affair. — Courier. The accounts of the Revenue for the present Quarter ( being the Michaelmas one) will not, we believe, be made up till the 10th of the ponth ; but we rejoice to be already enabled to state, that so great is the general improvement of the Revenue, that in the Customs alone there is an average increase from the 5th of July to the 27th September, of not less than L322,810.-.

HALFPAY. — The pavment of three months' half pay to the Reduced Officers of his Majesty's Land Forces, to the 2kh ult. including those heretofore borne on the Irish Establishment, will commence on the 15th inst. Since Mrs. Siddon's first appearance at York, after her great success in London, no performer has brought such crowded audiences there as Macready did last week. I'lie receipts oiPeach evening amounted to upwards of L. 200 ; and Mr. Mansel, the Manager, having pro- fited so largely by this attraction, has presented Mr. Macready with a massive silver cup. IRELAND. We understand that thirty persons have been arrested and identified under the charge of being concerned in the atrocious murder of Mr. Franks and family Dublin Journal. Another instance of resistance to the laws, aceom panied with outrage, occurred on the 23d September, within five miles of Cork. The facts are these:— Mr. Hewson, High Constable, accompanied by Mr. White- tiev, Peace Officer, and about twenty men, including Keepers, went to make a distress on some lands about eight miles from Cork, on the Bandon road. They ar- rived there at ten o'clock in tbe forenoon, and Mr. Hew- so i having made known bis business to the proprietor, they took several bead of cattle in charge, which tbe law- less rabble perceiving, they attacked tbe keepers with stones, but Mr Hewson having remonstrated with them on their conduct, they desisted, and the keepers drove off the cittle towards town. About an hour and a half afterwards, a man came riding furiously towards them, and addressing one of tbe drivers who was in the rear, said he had a Magistrates' order to regain tbe cattle, to which the man replied that be had better present it to Mr. Hewson, instead of which be gallopped off a consi- derable distance, hallooing, and calling on all he met to assist in retaking tbe cattle; in a short time a great number assembled, who, tbe sooner to arrive at tbe spot, got some two and three on each horse ; when Mr. Hewson, perceiving the danger his men were in, he told the man who first rode up, and who seemed to be their leader, that if they were determined to rescue tbe cattle, be would not prevent them, but requested that no injury should be done to his men. The cattle were then rescued, and when at some distance off, the country people commenced a dreadful attack on the party with stones, and beat some of them in a cruel manner, oblig- ing the whole to seek their safety in flight. Some of the men were much cut and bruised with the stones. CORK, Sept. 26 A circumstance of a very painful na- ture occurred yesterday at the Barracks, which we are sorry it has fallen to our duty to record, particularly as the Regiment it has taken place in, is remarkable while in this garrison, for the gentlemanlike deportment ofthe officers and the good con- duct of the men. A private of the 12th Lancers, named M'Cann. who had been slightly reprimanded, as we have been informed, applied for a Court of Inquiry into his conduct, which was granted, and the reprimand confirmed. Not satis- fied with this decision. he applied for a Court Martial, which was as promptly complied wiih ; but while it was depend- ing and a verdict grounded on thei'two former decisions likely lo be returned, lie repaired to the stables, provided with his pistols, a'nd had been there a short time when a Lieutenant of the regiment went in, whom he fired at; the ball passed close to the body, and most providentially missed him, the unfortu- nate man then presented the other pistol to his head to commit self- desti uction, which we regret to state lie sir far succeeded as to mangle it in such a manner as to leave little hope of his re- covery.

Boih sheep, and lambs, and. fat cattle met with a du. l market, and a number of all sorts remained unsold. Fat cattle were nearly 6d. a stone cheaper than last week ; ordinary beef sold from 5s.

LOCKERBIE, Sent. 29.— A good many black Cattle were shown in the market to- day, hut although, a number of buyers attended, the sale was very dull. I'he fall that lias taken place in Norfolk aud Suffolk, and in the northern counties of England to which our cattle are- ent, has had a corresponding effect here. The sales in the last week ( the greatest in the year) in Dumfries- shire, are from 15 to 20 per cent, below those in the month of June. Tlley are now scarcely higher than thosa of last October, the lowest point of depression within the last thirty years. WILTON great Sheep Fair was held 011 Friday week, when upwards of 80,000 sheep and lambs were penned. Then- was a very great demand for good fleshy wether sheep of all ages, and for good Iambs.* The former averaged from 3s. to 4s. per head, and the latter from Is. to 2s. per head, higher than at the late Bridford fair. The sale of ewes was particularly dull and no better prices obtained taan at the late f. ars, owino- to tile scarcity of green food in many counties that have had less rain than Wills. The ready sale of good conditioned sheep in the London market unquestionably caused the demand and rise iu prices. Nearly tbe whole of every description were sold befure the conclusion of the fair. Wethers fetched from 22s. to 38s. per head : ewes from 12s. to 23s, ; and lambs from 12s. to FAIRS. OCTOBER—( New Stile.)

In their view of affairs, Europe could only be saved hy the humiliation of France, and the destruction of the man who had rendered France the first of nations— it would follow as a necessary con- sequence, that all improvements of political institutions, originating with the people, must be put down, upon the good old principle, that the people have nothing to do with the laws but to obey them. . The censure of the Ex- Emperor, upon the conduct of Lord C'ASTLEREAGH, IS to he regarded as a mere splenetic effusion, against a Statesman who had successfully contended for the libera- tion of Europe, for so they term the restoration of antient despotism. NAPOLEON ought to have been satisfied that his dovvnfdl Was necessary to this great work, readily admitting the wise policy of Lord CASTLEREAGH in the Cabinet, and the trnnscendant military talents of his Grace of WELLINGTON in the field. WE find, how- ever, that although- the illustrious captive resigned him- self to his fate, he was fully aware of the unworthy means by which his overthrow had been brought about, aided as thev were by'accidents bevond - ail human cal- culation, and that appear almost miraculous. It appears that, for the most part, NAPOLEON avoided speaking of the Duke of WELLINGTON ; but after giving his opinion so freely of Lord CASTLEKEAGII, it Katnrallv occurred to mention the Commander who had carried the plans of that Statesman into execution, and LAS CASAS has reported what he said apparently with much fidelity. The importance of his Grace's victories is fully admitted, but not that thev were gained in conse- quence of able dispositions on his part; and it is con- fidently predicted, that while the effects of these victories are still felt in Euro]*, the name of the Commander must sink in public estimation. Lord WELLINGTON said NAPOLEON) possesses not elevation of mind suited to the elevation to which circumstances have raised him ; he has been content to follow, in the train of Lord CASTI, EREAG'H, and to connect, his victories with the basenesses ( turpitudes) of a political mountebank. I have been assured, - that itis owing to him that I am here, and I believe it; it is worthy of him w ho, in contempt of the provisions of a solemn treaty, left NL' Y to perish, whom he had frequently seen on the field of battle." In'this country it was generally be- lieved, thatthe Duke of WELLINGTON really intended to observe the conditions of the Treaty of Paris, and that its violation in the person of , NEY was attributable to Lord CASTLER- EAGH. With regard to tiie exile and . imprisonment of NAPOLEON, if a measure so re- pugnant to the principles of international law and justice was countenanced by the Duke, he alone was not blatneabfe ; the disgrace attaches to a great majority of our countrymen, many of whom have long since seen their error. Speaking of the battle of Waterloo, NA- POLEON said, " he remained master of the field of battle, it is certain, but was the victory due to his arran- gements r" His glory is altogether negative his errors immense. lie, the Generalissimo of Europe, charged with interests of so vast importance, having in front an enemy so aciive and enterprising as I, ought he to have permitted his scattered troops to go to sleep in a capital— and. allow himself to be surprised ? And what fatality prevailed 1 In three days, I saw the destinies of France and of the world escape from my ar- rangements. First, but for the treachery of a general, who left our ranks to give intelligence to the enemy, I should have destroyed all their bands before they could have formed in regular brigades. Then, upon my left, the unusual delays of KEY at Quatre Brass prevented the annihilation of the English troops there ; and finally upon my right, the unheard of ( inouits) manoeuvres of CRRQL'CHY, in place of securing to me a certain victory, filled up the measure of ottr fatal errors, and precipitated France . into the gulf." " No, resumed the Emperor, WELLINGTON is not a man of general talent. He ex- eels perhaps, but not at all in creation, and fortune has done more for him than he has ever done for her. What a difference between him aisd MARLBOROUGH, with whom he may in after times be compared ? MARL- BOURGIR, iu gaining battles, managed Cabinets, and gained an ascendancy overmen. As for WELLINGTON, he knew nothing better than to follow up tlie views and plans of CASTLEREAGH. Thus Madame de STAEL had said of him, that, unconnected with his battles, he did not possess two ideas, and the saloons of Paris, of a taste so refined, so delicate, and so just, immediately confirmed her opinion. Ilis victories, their result and influence, vt ill be celebrated in history ; his character must fall, and that even during his li/ e- time." The General al- luded to by NAPOLEON, as having carried intelligence to the enemy before- the battle of Waterloo, was I'OURMONT, now employed before Cadiz, and very naturally in the confidence of the Bourbons. Bribery and corruption, with a co- operation of accidents altogether surprizing, brought about the counter- revolution, or at least the restoration of the ancient dynasty in France ; and should Spain succumb in the present struggle, in . which French steel is truly contemptible, the powerful influence of gold must account for the event. That the great ma- jority of the Spanish nation were friendly to the Revo- lution of 1820, and well disposed to maintain it, we can- not doubt ; and had the garrisons, so infamously be- trayed. been ready to acknowledge the Regency, we may- be well assured, they would not have been sent pri- soners of war to . France. The people^ of Spain have not forsaken the cause in which thev so heartily engaged— they have not lost the political information they had gain • ed. Leaders of eminence appear wanting among them — and a deep laid plan appears to have been formed to corrupt those in whom the nation had placed confidence. The Duke d'ANOOULEME, imbecile as he is, would never have dared to approach Cadiz, had he not relied upon efforts of treachery within the place, his force being altogether inadequate ; but if the traitors prevail the place will be no doubt given up. The accounts that seem the best entitled, to credit of the state of affairs iu that fortress at present we subjoin : The Spanish army consists of about 12 000 regulars and 10,000 militia and volunteers, composed of troops compromised for the Constitution, and commanded by Valdez, Alava, Bu- rillo, Guitterez. awl others, whose propeity has all been con- fiscated by the Madrid Regency; and an ignominious death, sooner or later, will be to them . tile inevitable consequence of concession or defeat. They have also a respectable naval force ; Ihe works are covered with canheti • there is a large magazine of powder and mciteriel ; provisions are plentiful, even the green market being well provided; and their cause supports them. The French, commanded by Angou'. emc, have from 14 to 18.000 mow ; their front is strong, hut their left fl. uik and real- are unprotected ; thus their communications are frequently in- tercepted. The heats are intense, and their hospitals are crowd- ed to excess. But as they have no retreat, for the Spaniards would rise en masse, and cut them offto a man should they at- tempt it, and still less time to lose in consequence of the yel- low fever generally commencing near the end of September, ami the. equinoctial gules about the same period, to raise lire blockade, Angmtleme strains every nerve ; be risks all to save all. He feels the moment is arrived which decides not the fate of a fortified town alone, but his own. that of the French Army, and of the whole of his F. ttniiy ; the stake is immense. Shrill liberty, justice, and fr'eedim, or despotism and the Inquisition rule over Europe ! I Our readers are put in possession of all the facts, they will thus be enabled to form their own opinions ';• in ihe mean time let it be remembered, that whether Cadiz fail or not, Mina, Vejasco, and multitudes of Guerillas still resist; and " that a people determined to be free will be so." Bv later accounts it is stated, that when an expedition was ordered out to retake tjie fort of Santi Petri, a re- giment of the line mutinied and refused to proceed, but were overpowered and disarmed by the militia, and suf- fered declination, every tenth man having been shot.— Such are the French accounts : and supposing them worthy of credit, the cause of Independence is not hope- less iu Spain. A telegraphic account is said to have been received at Paris, dated Chiclana, the 28th September, of the liberty of Ferdinand, and that he was to come to the head- quarters of the Duke d'ANGOULEME on the day following. Tii'e attGuptcd bombardment of Cadiz by the French fleet, appears to have been a complete failure— the place is amply provisioned, and of the real meaning of the ex- pression that Fmorxdsro is at liberty, we cannot yet judge. It is clear thai the besiegeis cannot produce any effect on the place by land— and at this season, ships of war cannot continue to occupy the Bay, nor can bomb- ketches maintain a contest with gun- boats, carrying long thirty- two pounders— we must therefore wait for farther information, before we can say what is meant by the Liberty of FERDINAND, The following extrat." we give from the Globe and Traveller of the 7th, and shall indulge in no farther conjectures until we have farther information. The confinement, of the Telegraphic Dispatch, above quoted, to the simple fact stated in it, without a word upon the events which led to it, leaves a very wide field for conjecture to range iii. By many it is thought, that as a fiee power of locomotion on the part of Ferdinand is what the Duke of Angouleme has uniformly claimed as an indispensable concession, previous to all negociation, the Cortes have allowed his departure alone, in order to do away with that primary objection to conventional arrangement. This is not impossible, but we fear, that as a supposition, it is more plausible than probable. At the same, time we learn, that a respectable house io the City has received a letter from a British Officer iu communication with the French head- quarters, which speaks in the highest terras of the conversational moderation of the Duke of Angoulenre, who, in respect to profession ot least, is altogether a Constitutionalist It is useless to speculate at much length, iu the absence of in- formation which a few hours are likely to supply, but looking at the contents of the Spanish" Papers received to- day, and at the evident failure of the first attempt at bombardment, we can- not help indulging a hope that the triumph on tbe part of France is not accompanied with an utter. prostration of Spanish honour. Reliance upon Ferdinand for patriotism or magnani- mity would be somewhat romantic : but if his recent experi- ence have convinced him that he can govern only half his sub- jects upon his own views, it is barely possible that he may as- sume a more native practice than, any previous conduct of his has given reason to expect. lie has only to do this or ex- change the nature of his bondage, with the addition^ oppro- brium of being the mere puppet of foreigners. An account, in some accordance with the foregoing possibilities, is current, that he has left his family in Cadiz as hostages for his return, in the event of his not succeeding in gaining certain terms, of which he has condescended to be the bearer. A more piohable story is. thai some basis is already agreed upon, of which our Government is to form a gurantee. An English messenger direct from Port Si. Mary, we understand, has arrived iu lo « i n today. The nujtt French dispatches from that place will be highly interesting. BIRTH.— At Cawnpore, on the 19th February, the Lady of Captain A.

REDUCTION OF SPIRIT DUTIES. — NOW that the act for lowering the duties r.^ ectin- i bome- made spirits is about to take effect, the Scots Distillers, we understand, have notified their intention to avail themselves uf it in the same manner as their bretbrwi the Brewers of the south did on the reduction of the malt duties, by pocketing nearly two- thirds of tbe reduction, and leaving it to the discretion of the merchants, either to add the other third to their profits, or allow the public that frac- tional advantage. The spirit merchants, however, seVm de- termined to resist this mode of dividing or exhausting the boon ; and it is to be hoped the consequence will he, that the Public will eventually reap the full benefit of the reduction, as intend- ed hy tbe Leg'slature. — Edin. Paper. WE understand thatthe MORNING HERALD hss had within the last four years, a singularly rapid rise in its daily circulation. In fact, its rise has been iji the proportion of four to one, or quadrupled. It is now decidedly the second Morning Paper in London, in point of daily circulation. What is also singular is. that it is a paper which is of no particular party. This shews, among other things, that the tone of the peopte has ma- terially changed, and that party spirit is on the wane in England. Courage and Humanity— We give the following in the words of an eye- witness : — " Abuuteight o'clock on Thursday morning, the sloop Pbemy, of Charleston, loaded with timber, was seen off the Light- house at Fraserburgh, making signals of distress;— she anchored off the harbour, it blowing a heavy • rale of wind, with a tremendous sea, breaking of. times over the pier. Through the meritorious exertions of Lieut. C. H. Bowen, commander of the coast guard at this place, and being ably assisted hy the people of the town, they got the Life- boat launched, when Lieut. Bowen jumped into her, and was soon followed by volunteers: they pulled out fearlessly to the assist- ance of their fellow creatures, and by great exertions got on board the sloop, and made a rope fast, when hundreds ot the people on, shore lowed her sale into the harbour. I con- ceive that ihe couduct cf Lieut, Bovrcu was most noble and pra' e- worthy. The sea was running mountains high. I was an eye witness to the whole transaction ; and if you feel as I do, such uoble conduct cannot receive too much praise and publicity." On Saturday su'ennight, one of the Servants of COLIN NIVIE farmer at Brucklaw, parish of Dunnottar, having taken two of his master's children into an unloaded cart, which he was driving, in order to give them a hurl, as it is called, while p issing along* an avenue between two old dykes, at a slight bend of the road, inadvertently let otte of the w'h- eels run upon one of the dykes, by which the cart was overturned, and, mel- ancholy to relate, the eldest of the two children, a fine- girl about five years of age, was killed on the spot: the other child escaped unhurt. This ought to serve as a warning to farm ser- vants ro be cautions iu allowing children to eotne into carts, or get. on horseback—- pt- a'ctices but too common in the country, but often attended with melancholy consequences. It has been resolved to establish a'gas company in Dundee. Subscriptions have already been opened, and L. 10,000 . were subscribed for shares within a few days. NORTHERN MEETING. THURSDAY,' OCT. 2.

It is saitl that he attested more men for the army than any . Magistrate in Scotland, the natives of Caith- ness having a strong military turn. He fulfilled all the u, stu- s of domestic life, in a most exemplary manner, and for his con- duct in his public situations he was deservedly respected. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. 1 N- the course of this and last week, we have had some heavy " ales of wind, especially 011 the night of the 1st inst. when a tremendous gale came 011 from N. E. veering to W. N. W. and continuing for about 12 hours with great violence. This, we learn, extended far to the eastward, as well as along this coast where it has proved not a little disastrous to shipping, as ap- pears by Ihe following particulars -. — O11 Friday tbe 3.1 instant, the Unity, Edward Ward, of Faveisham, from Archangel to London, saw a vessel to leeward, with a signal of distress flying, bore down, and having hailed without receiving any answer, hoisted out his boat, but 011 boarding her found 1 o per- son. The vessel was a schooner of about 90 tons, under the Hanoverian flag, full of water, and seemingly from Norway, being loaded with b.- ttens ; there was 110 name, the main- mast was gone, tbe bulwarks carried away, and there was no boat ; from which, and the circumstance of some clothes and a cask of bread being 011 deck, it was concluded tbe crew bad beeu saved by some other vessel. While engaged iu this humane endeavour, to render the assistance the first signal of distress seemed to call for, the attention of Captain Ward was directed to another from a , vessel 011 his lee bow, made all soil, and 011 coming up, found it to be a Galliot with her rudder gone, and verv leaky, then by Observation in lat. 56. 15. N. long 10'. W. This vessel proved to be the Gato, Captain Schuth, of Gron- iugen, which, oil tile 30th ult. sailed from Dunbar, for Stettin, with herrings, and in the gale of the 1st, being about CO miles from St. Abb's Head, when under storm sails, was struck by a heavy sea, which carried away the bulvvaiks,' boat, binnacle, and compasses, split the main- sail, and broke the tiller of the rudder, which, in consequence, soon after broke from the irons so, as to be altogether useless. The Gato was repeatedly taken 11 tow, and every exertion used to bring her to land, untili Sumhiv the 5, h,' when, from the violence < i? tbe tjale of that day, from S. to S. S. E. the Galliot w- n lire- rally sWre. 1 s- i « the waves, and the crew, 4 in number, were now exposed to the utmost danger. 1 n this trying situation, Capt Ward got into his small boat, and 4 of his crew having also volunteered their services, with that alacrity and intrepidity characteristic of British seamen, pulled through the tremendous waves, and rescued the unfortunate foreigners from their perilous si- tuation, at lire most imminent hazard of sacrificing - heir own lives in this laudable act of hu nanity. The Galliot, then in lat, 56. 57. was soon after abandoned, the cable by which sha was towed having broke, atid although seen next day. about 8 miles off Peterhead, and 011 Wednesday 1- ast- about Q leagues off liattriiy- head, the vessel, in all pn- bahility, must be lost . h> the master and sole owner. Nor was the'friendly regard , of Captain Ward, to the relief of the di- Cress of his fellow- crca- . tnres," confined to the cases we have now stated ; for although short of provisions and water, from a long and severe passag- i of about seven weeks from Archangel, he, on Saturday, re- ceived from on board a Dutch G d/ iot, the creiv of the slooo Fisher, Anderson, of Lerwick, from Scalloway to Leith, with fish and kelp. ' This vessel was no less unfortunate than the foreigner, for it proved that'after having encountered very hard gales, she, in the storm of the Ist. and 2d, lost her, boat, hub- works, had the compasses upset and broke, and was after- wards laid to under the try- sail, when he was ran- fottl of hy % Dutch fishing vessel or Dogger, had his bowsprit carried away, and liow stove in, so that it was- hardly possible to keep the vessel up. with the pumps, tHitil next day1; when, on the fisher hoisting bis jack another Dutch fishing vessel, the D.- jonge William, bore down. and took out the tr- w. which were haul- ed on board by means of a rope; an I think the fisher must have gone down soon afterward. The d. ty following, they were taken on board the Unity, and Captain Ward having now about 20 people on board, found it. otH.'^ saFy, frocu the s'g of tlie weather, to bear up for this place, the wind s'ill prevail- ing strong from the southward, lie accordingly came into this- h;> y on Monday last, and landed the two unfortunate crews, who bore testimony to the kind attention they had received from Capt. Ward and crew, whdse conduct throughout entitle them to the greatest credit tor such nit ritorious exertions, and to that favourable regard of Lloyd's, as may prove an incentive to tbe imitation of so noble an example in similar cases of dif- ficulty and distress. The Ututv. spoke, cm.. the 25th August, the ship Kingston of ffull, ail well, 60 miles to the north- ward of Cape Svveutnose, out- 22 days, from London, toy Archangel.

The Stranger, Wood, which sailed from this , place on Sa- turday last, for Sunderland, has been driyen to Cromarty ii § the late gales. On Tuesday, the ship Lune, Newton, of and for Leith. from Jamaica, arrived in this hay ; sailed o* h the 4th An^ iist,' front Negri 1 Bay, with about 40 sail of vessels, under convoy of H. M. S. Hyperion, and was joined off the Havannali hj- II. M. S. Esk, which ship parted with the convoy, lat. 50. N.

On Wednesday, ft blew a gale from S. to S. S. E. wr en the Lutie was obliged to go to sea, leaving in the roads an a, ichor and part of a chain cable. Toe Unity came into the harbour for sheher, as did tbe sloop Betsey, Rae, of Kincardine, frond Oottenburgh, for Newcastle, with lint seed. This latter sailed on the 30th ult. from Gottenburgh, with several vessels ; re- ports the Tyne of this place to be ready for sea, and thinks th< « t she might be among the vessels astern of him, the greater part of which probably were put into Norway In the gale of the 1st,. which he experienced wirh great violence near the Naze, com- mencing from E. S. E. and veering round to N. fi. and N. W » The same day, the Mid diet on, Cargill, arrived here, with 9.5 fish, about , full, 175 to ISO tuns of oil, from tlie Davis* . Straits Fishery ; left the filling ground on the 28ih of Aug. but brings no accounts of any othor vessels.

C. is very angry with us for not inserting a letter, addressed to us on the 24th ult. concerning the meeting lately held here for the pur- pose of promoting Christianity among the Jews. He inquires* what the Di'oil we art about / and suspects, whatever o ir pre tensions to independence may be, that we are not the thing. We beg leave to s- tate, for our Correspondent's information, that we object to his Style. Meetings held for religious pur- poses, whatever differences of opinion may exist, are entitled to our respect ; and we think the following sentence from our Correspondent's letter, wiil, as a specimen, sufficiently shete, that we, ha{ J good grounds for excluding it from our columns. " I went there ( to Hie meeting) o > eu to conviction, but I am. grieved to say that 1 heard nothing, either from the Repot* which was read, or from the lips of the Rev. Gentieuu n ^ Iro spoke to be heard ( for several of the oration^ kon- isted, in as far as I could judge, in making mouths and queer faces, and some other antics funny enough), which could be looked uppn as in- dicating any success— that is in regard to the great and ulti- mate object of the Society, the Conversion of the Jews." We have also a letter upon the same subject, signed ft-; but we must decline the subj cf,. however tf jui; h our'character lor independence may suffer. We have to acknowledge the receipt of a Sonnet. The pen- manship very good. The meaning, we fear, would be to the public— incomprehensible. 0 S T S C li I P tT LONDON. TELEGRAPHIC DISPATCH. FERDINAND A T LIBERTY. " THE DUKE OF ASOOULEME T.)

MARY, Sept. 95.— Yesterday the militia of Madrid marched out with the regiment of St. Martial to re- take Fort St. I'etri ; but the regiment mutined on tbe way— The militia, who are very numerous, were able to d'sarm it and they decimated it. Ninety soldiers were shot. V>' e m; ty judge by this of the spirit of ti e troops of the line ; deserters join us everyday. This morning hi., ( toyal Highness sent for Rear- Admiral Duperre, General linrdesoult, and General Bourmont and the latter set out this afternoon at four o'clock for Rota. Cardinal Delia Gengjt, now Pope Leo XII. tlicre is soma reason to believe, owes his elevation principally to I'Yench in- fluence— He was horn in the year 17SO, at Getiga, between the Duchy Urbino and the March of Ancona. At tbe epoch of the French restoration, he was sent Nuncio to Paris, to con- gratulate Louis X VI11. not being then a Cardinal, which* however, he became ill 1816.
