jj LONDON. ¡,. TauxsoAY, August 9. f" IS BON and Madrid papers were received •j I this morning; the former to the 21st, the t> M—jt lal ter to the 26 th ult. In the sitting of the II,' Lisbon Cones, on the 19th, a letter was read from f* the Minister of the Interior, stating, that the i'. King had resolved to remove the diplomatic agents $whom the Cortes had judged it necessary to be deprived of their functions." It added, however, deration the services which the Marquis de Mari- alva, the Conde de Oriola, and Antonio de Suldan- hada had rendered in the Embassies of Paris and Vienna, who had been led by the uncertainty of the circumstances in which they were placed, to the conduct which induced the wise and important resolution taken by the Cortes." Several Deputies iI that his Majesty could not but take into consi- deration the services which the Marquis de Mari- alva, the Conde de Oriola, and Antonio de Suldan- hada had rendered in the Embassies of Paris and Vienna, who had been led by the uncertainty of the circumstances in which they were placed, to the conduct which induced the wise and important resolution taken by the Cortes." Several Deputies considered that the view taken of their conduct-by die King, was calculated to influence the Cortes an I the public, and might operate upon persons, who would have to judge the Ambassadors when brought to trial. The letter was therefore referred to a special diplomatic committee. The Madrid papers announce that the King is in good health. The Consulate of Cadiz has ad- dressed a representation to the Captain-General, complaining that the Insurgent privateers advance within sight of the ramparts of that port, and soli- citing that more ships of war might be appointed to cruize in that quarter; otherwise all commerce would be destroyed. In two letters, addressed to eminent mercantile houses in the city, dated Odessa, 13th July, the writers enter into lengthened details respecting the present situation ot Russia and Turkey, and both come to the conclusion, that it a war should take place, it will not be immediate, neither power being prepared for hostilities. It is stated in these important communications, that the Greeks-have met with several decisive defeats in Moldavia and WaMachia, and that in several instances they have been pursued to the frontiers of Russia. Ihe following is an extract from one of these letters There ure 40,000 Turks on the other side of the Pruth, and 30,000 Russians on this the former profess peace, the latter give no cause for hostili- ties. The Emperor Alexander, it is understood, is earnest for peace, and that it will continue is the general opinion here." The other letter we have alluded to is rather of a more, warlike nature; and states the Russian forcc on the frontiers at nearly 200,000 men; that General Wittgenstein had ar- rived at Odessa that corn had risen considerably, on account of the ready sale at Constantinople; and that no hostilities were expected before the spring. New York papers to the 14th ult. arrived this morning. It is with pleasure that we learn from them the general good disposition, both of the people and Government, to enforce the abolition of the detestable Slave Trade. The Committee appointed by the American Legislature to consider of the best means, in concert with other Govern- ments, to prevent thai execrable traffic, have actu- ally recommended a resolution which glances di- rectly at some understanding in respect to a mutual right of search. If carried, it will be a more con- elusive blow to the iniquitous dealers in human blood and misery, than any which have yet befallen an I the public, and might operate upon persons, who would have to judge the Ambassadors when brought to trial.

FRIDAY, Aug 10. I Letters of the 20th ult. which arrived yesterday from St. Petersburg are silent on the question of war with Turkey. The communications with Odessa had been facilitated by the establishment or a post three times « wee): mstead of twice, and orders had been issued for appointing a packet- boat to sail regularly between Odessa and Con- stantinople. The news from Constantinople is still uncertain and the facts, as stated, present nothing different from the former accounts, except that the barbarians, in order, as It may lH! sup- posed, to stimulate a jaded appetite for slaughter, now destroy their victims by crucifying them, in-j stead of repeating the practice of strangling or drowning. This is the only variety which can be traced in these letters, The last accounts from Germany say—" The Great Powers ot Europe are at length agreed on M the measures which humanity and the policy of Europe require, in the present situation of Turkey. The first diplomatic note on this subject will ♦horily appear." Important advices were received this morning from Mexico, by a vessel which sailed on the 9th ult. from Havannah.-Col. Ilevia, the commander of the Royalist troops, ha.d been killed, in an at- tempt to carry by storm a strong post near Puebla, held by the insurgents; and his fate had struck so much terror into his troops, as to threaten the most fatal consequences to the royal cause. Of the state of the interior no certain intelligence could be obtained, as the communications between Vera Cruz and Mexico were completely interrupted. The Governor of Vera Cruz had sent to Havannah for a rfinforcerncntuf troops, not considering his garrison sufficiently Strong to support the expected ttttark of the Insurgents, The merchants and rich families at Vera Cruz were in the greatest alarm t3 and confusion. Their whole property, in goods and money, to an immense amount, was packed up ready to he shipped of £ for Havannah and other ports, on the approach urthe Insurgents. 4 morning paper states, that Oliver. the spy, is now first Clerk in the Wharfinger's Office at the Cape of Good Hope, with a salary a.nd perquisites f-valued at 3001 per (tnnum. The freedom of Shrewsbury was presented to X-nrd Sidmuuth by the Mayor and Corporation, on 1 his Lordship passing through that town, in his I route to Holyhead. jj A new-species of Black Currant has-been culti- vated in Cambridgeshire, the fruit of which is so 1 large, that iu some instances a single berry weighs 61 grains, and measures in circumference two inches and a half. inches and a half.

TheP a is Journals of Wednesday, received this morning, throw no light on the question of peace or war between Russia and the Porte, nor do tliev give the slightest indication of the course which Austria mentis to pursue in the event of hostilities; 'they, however, state, tint negotiations of the high- est importance are carrying on between the Courts of Berlin and St. Petersburgh. It is presumed, that they relate to the afiairs of the east of Europe, and to the attitude which Prussia will assume under present circumstances. The following details, relative to the taking of Salonica, the capital of Macedonia, are given in these papers:—" The Greeks bombarded the town and castle, during four days, both by land and sea, after which the Turkish commander capitulated. There were found in the castle a great number of Greek hostages, who were liberated, and much treasure. The news had some days previously reached Salonica, that the Insurgent Chief Ulysses, had comptetcty routed the Turks in Thessaly, and this probably accelerated the surrender of the town. It is feared that these events will exasperate the Turks in Constantinople to fresh acts of barbarity against the Christians. The news of the taking of Salonica was brought to the Pacha of Belgrade by a Tartar." The King.-The messenger (Lack) who was sent on Tuesday night to the King, with the account of the Queen's demise, returned at three o'clock this morning, with dispatches from Lord Londonderry (who was with his Majesty) to Lord Liverpool.- These dispatches are dated from the Royal Yacht, in Holyhead Roads, at two o'clock on Thursday, so that the messenger performed the whole journey in 73 hours, and the home journey in 37. The King had embarked the preceding evening, with the intention of crossing to Dublin, but the wind becoming foul, the yacht came to anchor, and re- mained so when the messenger came away. The following is an extract of a letter from Holyhead, dated six o'clock, Thursday evening:— "The King's Messenger has brought the melan- clioly intelligence of her Majesty's dissolutions— His Majesty's yacht is now preparing to get out of harbour. The wind continues westerly, but the agitation of the sea has abated. It is understood to be the King's intention to sail with the first fair wind for Dublin, but to land in the most private manner possible. It is further said, that his Ma- jesty, on his arrival in Ireland, will repair imme- diately to the Phoenix Park, near Dublin, where he will remain in private until after her Majesty's funeral." His Majesty, whilst at Plasnewydd, the seat of the Marquis of Auglesea, received addresses from various parts of the Principality, to which he re- turned the most gracious answers. His Majesty, on his return to the harbour on Wednesday after- noon, was followed for several miles by a crowd of the country people, who huzzaed and cheered him all the way. A triumphal arch "was erected on the pier, hung all over with oak leaves. intermixed with red and white eoses the following inscription, in the native language ot Wales, was placed over the same 1- Anrhydedd 'i'r Erenin which is thus translated—" In honour of theKrng." The Royal barge was in preparation at the foot of the ladder. As his Majesty approached it, the gentlemen on the pier shouted, CI God save the King." The ladies on the pier and on the balcony of the light-house waved their scarfs and handker- chiefs. The King, preceded by Commodore Paget, and followed by Lord Anglesea, descended the ladder with a firm and vigorous step, and, on being seated in his barge, bowed to the- crowd of Spec- tators who lined the pier. As soon as his Majesty was seated in his barge, a royal salute was fired from the'ships, of war of" the squadron, and from -the guns on the pier. A private letter from Holyhead says-" As soon as the welcome tidings were brought that his Ma- jesty intended to land, the wall of the pier, and the stone work outside it, were suddenly crowded with spectators, consisting for the greater part of Welsh females, from the various villages in the island.— Some of the higher M farmer class" of young wo- z' men were (tressed in fiding habits and hats, others in hats and shawls; but the greater majority in the ancient mantle of the Principality, with hats of more modern fashlou. Shortly before five the signals were given for his Majesty's landing. The first salute was fired from the quay, and every thing supposed to be prepared fur the King's re- ception, when it was observed, that should his Majesty choose to 511 on receiving the address, there was no chair. A large arm chair was in- stancy provided, and covered with crimson and purple shawls aud scarfs, which some of the English and Irish ladies rivalled each other in offering, each being naturally desirous that her shawi or scarf might be honoured by the touch of Majesty. Two or three, however, were sufficient, ■ the rustic throne was completed by placing a lady's lilac-coloured velvet mantle beneath thei chair as a carpet. But. alas how vain are humani calculations His Majesty did not choose to sit he did not even go near the chair, but when he ascended, he stood firmly and gracefully while Sir John Stanley read the address.

MONDAY, Aug. 13. The Paris papers of Friday last were received this morning. A Nuremberg article of the 3d inst. asserts, on the authority of letters from Vienna, that a special messenger from Petersburgh had brought orders to General the Count de Wittgen- stein, Commander in Chief of the Russian Army of the South, to cuter Moldavia. An article from Frankfort, dated the 4th inst. states, as a matter of common rumour at Vienna, that, on the 28th of June, tha Grand Seignior formally rejected the ulti- matum of the Cabinet ofSt, Petersburgh," and adds. we are expecting every instant to receive the news of the commencement of hostilities." Letters were this morning received from Smyrna to the 4th, and Constantinople to the 10th ult. The latter state, as from high authority, that a special messenger from Petersburgh was daily ex- pected at the Porte. At the head of this deputa- tion it was said was a Russian Prince. The Russian Ambassador's powers, it was added, had ceased, and his departure from St. Petersburgh was daily expected. •— 1—- In furtherance of the system of retrenchment by Government now so actively going on, this morning orders were received at the Portsmouth Dock-yard, that in, future the working-flays were to be only five in the week,, and that the gates and doors of every department should he closed on Friday night, and not re-opened until Monday morning. The different persons employed in the yard amount to about 3,500, and the saving: to the public will be nearly (jOOI. per week. The samo system, we understand, is to be pursued at the other Royal Yards. We may therefore calculate, that the saving wiil be considerably above 50,0001. a year. — Courier: There has been some correspondence between Lady Hood and Lord Liverpool, relative to the haste shewn by Government in sending her Ma- jesty's remains out cf the country. Lady Hood wished a. deity of one day, to get the mourning ready; but Lord Liverpool regretted that he could not comply with the request, as her Majesty's own desire, and the orders to him also, were opposed to it. A Court of Common Council was held this morning, when it was unanimously resolved, that iu the event of the Queen's Funeral Procession passing through the City, the Members of the Court should meet it at Temple Bar, and proceed passing through the City, the Members of the Court should meet it at Temple Bar, and proceed with it to the other extremity of the Metropolis, on the Harwich road.
- LOSS OF THE EARL MOIRA PACKET.
LOSS OF THE EARL MOIRA PACKET. The following particulars of the melancholy loss of the above packet in working out of the har- bour of Liverpool, is copied from the Liverpool Alerctiry The Ear) Moira left the Pier Head soon after six o'clock on ths evening of Wednesday last. The greater number of our informants (all survivors) agree in the estimation of the number of 100 to 110 persons being on board, including about six of the crew. When off the Magazines they set all sai!, wind blowing fresh from the W.N.W. After pas- sing the Gut Buoy, No. 1, in attempting to tack, the vessel missed stays, and struck on Burbo bank. The passengers, alarmed at the shock, Hocked up from below in multitudes: and some of those from the cabin remonstrated with the captain, who was observed to be intoxicated, and consequently be- wildered and undetermined. The boat was or. dered out, and a kedge anchor was carried to lee- ward, and after considerable toil, the vessel was again got into deep water, and bore away from the Cheshire shore. A great number of the passen- gers here requested the captain to bear away for Liverpool, as the weather looked very black and threatening a-head.—He refused to comply, and after a few tack-t, about ten o clock, the Vessel mis- sed stays a second time, and grounded on the Wharf Bank off Mock-beggar finding it impossible to get her off, orders were given to strike the top- mast, and make every thing snug. The captain and crew assured the passengers that the vessel was not in a dangerous situation and they deter- mined to remain contented until the return of the tide. Some now remained on deck and others re- tired to their hammocks. When the flood-tide set in, the vessel being occa* sionally lifted, struck the bank, and it is probable, from the manner in which she afterwards leaked, that her bows were injured by striking against the anchor, which was injudiciously dropped when she grounded, as she did not take cable. The main- sail, kept on her fur the purpose of running her on the bank as the tide rose, had only the effect of sinking her deeper in the sand, aud rendered her situation more fatal. At half past two, the vessel filled with water fore and aft; the pump having previously been plied, but with no cffecc, Two fine horses that were in the hold, were now hoisted up; the groom wished to ride one of theiri on shore, but was persuaded to desist. The horses were washed, or thrown over- board. Previous to this the passengers wished a; signal t» be.made, to which the Captain would not agree, declaring there was no danger; but after some time, a flag was carried aloft by a passenger (a printer, who wore a bluejacket), and made, fast. Between four and five o'clock the water forced away the cabin deck windows, and the luggage, provi- sions, &c. were floated up, the sea breaking over them. The waves increased with the rising tide, and at last brought the vessel on her broadside. Soon after the boat and deck lumber were washed overboard, and two passengers who were snatched away were with difficulty 0 saved. All who were able now got upon the shrouds, and some held on by the ropes fastened to the bulwarks., or to what- ever they could find, to keep them above water, it being then breast high on deck, and nothing but .1 el the weather gunwhale and the mast to be seen. In this manner men, women, and children clung, until, exhausted by the continuance of the waves that burst over them, they began to drop from their hold, and were overwhelmed. One tremendous wave which struck the weather bow, carried off from ten to fifteen poor souls at once. Men, wo- men, and children, who seemed in the greatest ago. nlCS were now washed away; and every succeeding wave appeared to mark its victims; the survivors had scarcely time to breathe between each. One man jumped overboard, and was. for sometime seen struggling towards the shore, supported by a trunk or box. A boat lay-to a short distance to windward of them all night (apparently one of the Kings Dock gigs,) Several signals were contrived to hire her to their assistance. One of the passengers, a soldier, fired his musket three times, but the boat took no notice. When the water was making over, the deck, a white handkerchief was waved from the rigging, when the boat camp. down, and went a short distance to leeward of them. On being re- quested to approach, they said the sea was running too high for them. The passengers in the Earl Moira then took a cork fender, and fastening a rope to it, let it drop towards the boat. But the boat- men refused to take hold of the rope, by means of which they might have got safely alongside.— About ten minutes after, several packages were washed away, when the wretches in the boat hav- ing picked up three or four portmanteaus, and a trunk immediately set sail with their plunder to Liverpool, although at the time the dead bodies were floating round the vessel! The Captain, who was still in a state of intoxica- tion, was amongst the first who perished. After el the 'most incoherent conduct, he was exclaiming, We shall all be lost," when he was struck on the breast by a wave, and falling backwards, sunk a.)o )g-;ido. We shall not pain our rcaùersbya mi- nute detail of the heart-rending scene of death that continued from this period until all were eilher saved or drowned. A few instances will suffice. A female, about 30 years of age, was observed with her two children, one abollteight months old, the other two years. For a considerable time she buf- fetted the waves with her infants in her arms. A tremendous sea at length sttuck her, beneath which her exhausted children were buried for a minute or a minuta and a half. The wind then i lulled for a moment, and the swell abated; the agonized mother gazed at the children in her arms a and found them both dead. She uttered a pierc- ing shriek, lost her hold, was overwhelmed by another wave, and perished with her babes locked in her arms. Three soldiers were on board, having a deserter in charge. They remained by him as long as they could; a sea struck them as they stood together, ami carried of! the deserter, who sunk immediately. One of the soldiers was carried under the boom and clung to one of the stays. As the sea lifted the vessel, he rose above water several times, but at length, with an exclamation of merry, he yielded to his fate. A vast number of women and children," says a survivor who was in the rigging, the occupants of the fore part of the vessel were more exposed to the waves, and there was no possibility of affording the sufferers the least relief. We beheld them struggling with the most appaliug difficulties.— One female importuned our assistance; but, on our extending a rope, she was too much exhausted to keep hold, and sunk. There were about ten clinging to one rope, the wife of one having her husband in her arms. An irresistibie wave swept all away but three. The survivors seeing their ex- hausted comrades dropping one by one from their hold, remained in continual apprehension of a similar fate." The Hoylake Life-boat arrived to their assist- ance between seven and eight. So great was their eagerness for self-preservation, that about thirty soon dropped into the boat, and the commander, whose exertions cannot be too much praised, was at length obliged to pllt off to prevent the boat being swamped. They were all much exhausted, and many of them in a dying state. Another boat, the first" from Liverpool, belonging to Matthew Nail!, arrived about eight o'clock, and brought eight persons on shore. Before the third boat arrived (belonging, we are told, to W. Corrie,) the deck was torn up by the sea, and the mast fell,— Many of the women were swept away. There were twelve got into this boat, including a lady, and fifteen sufferers remained clinging to the wreck; the greater number of whom were after- wards picked hp by other boats. There were but two females saved. There were five ladies cabin passengers, of whom only one was saved. There were, we learn, 33 cabin passengers in all, 16 only of whom Were saved. It is impossible for us to obtain the pre- cise number of those who perished. The number on hoard was not exactly known, nor the number saved although the latter may be stated at about 50, leaving about the same supposed number who have perished. The bodies of two females, one a child, and a man, have been brought here and others, we understand, have been landed near the rock. The boat belonging to the Muira, in a shat- tered condition, was brought here last night: wht n picked up, a fine shawl was found tied round one of the benches, to which probably sonic unfortu- nate lady had clung until overwhelmed. Such are tlie distressing particulars which we have been able to collect, and they will be perused with painful interest. Many of those on board Were, we believe, of most respectable families, on their way to meet his Majesty in Ireland, and carried with them considerable property. If we are to credit report, some of the inhabitants of Wallasey have been engaged in stripping and plundering the bodies. Many of the survivors are In hiimble life, and have lost every thing they possessed. All the sur- vivors ascribe the disaster to the intoxication of the Captain, the Mate, unci the greater part of the crew, the steward and oneWtwo others only hav- Ing done thtirduty. It is truly lamentable to re- flect that the lives of so many individuals should be vested in such hands, and we trust effective mea- sures will be taken to prevent, in" future, so awful a catastrophe. The Newry Packet, which sailed in company with the Moira, put back all well. Our data are too vague to afford us a list of names, nor have we been able to ascertain the actual number of thcise who perished.

TUESDAY, Aug 14.- A Leeward Island; mail arrived yesterday with letters from St. Thomas's to the 9th July. Advices had been received at that place of the re-capture of Caraccas by the Insurgents. They had re-entered that city on the 20th of June, but the particulars had not been ascertained. A mail arrived this morning from Lisbon with papers to the 29th ult. They contain, in ejetenso, the decree of the Cortes, respecting; the liberty of the press, with the sanction of the King, Its most important provisions have been already inserted. These papers further contain an ordinance of the King for carrying into effect the decree for re-im- posing the duty of SO per cent. on British woollen j manufactures, which had been lowered 15 per cent. in 1814. The additional duty attaches only to goods leaving this country for Portugal, Bubse- quently to the 1st of the present month. Letters from the frontiers of Turkey, announce that a ship under the Russian flag, having refused to bring-to on quitting the Dardanelles, has been sunk by the forts. The crew and passengers all perished. Among the latter, it is said, were several persons of uote. The Kmg.-A letter from the agent to Lloyd's at Holyhead, dated August 12, says—" At ten this morning, the wind being westerly and moderate, the Lightning Steam-packet, Capt. Skinner, was ordered alongside the Royal George Yacht, and the King and his suite went on board of her, and proceeded for Dublin. The whole of the squadron immediately followed, and it is probable that his Majesty will be over by five o'clock this afternoon. Mourning for her Majesty.—The Gazette of this evening contains the following notice from the Lord Chamberlain's Office,- Lord Chamberlain's Office. August 11. 1821. Orders for the Couit going into Mourning, on Wednesday next, the 13th iniitant, fur bet late Majeaiy Qaeeu Caroline Amelia Elizabeth, viz. :— The ladi#s )0 wear black bombazines, pluin muslin or long lawn linen, crape hoods, shalUoy shoes and gloves, and crape fans. UndreM.—Dark Norwich crape. The gentlemen to wear black cloth, without buttons on the sleeves and pockets, plain muslin ot long lawn cravats p and weepers, shamoy shoes and gloves, crape liuibanrls, and black swords and bockles. Undress—Dark grey frocks. A meeting of the inhabitants of Hammersmith was this morning held in the Vestry of the Church, j at which it was proposed to erect a Monument to the Memory of her late Majesty, as a lasting testi- monial of their respect and affeetion. Mr. Gorame, the Churchwarden, was in the Chair; the Resolu- tions were moved by —— Rowning, Esq. and nearly 1001. were subscribed on the intant. The system of-reduction in the army, lately an- nounced, is carrying into effect. The 10th and 13th regiments in Portsmouth garrison, received orders on Saturday morning to reduce their strength each two companies, viz. two Captains, two Lieu- tenants, two Ensigns, and 120 men—to take place from the 25th of August. As usual, they will re- ceive two months' full pay in advance. The same order has been issued to the whole army. Lord Nugent has resigned his command in the Aylesbury squadron of Bucks Yeomanry, and has a.ddressed a letter to the squadron, in consequence of the thanks of the Government being given to the id regiment of Bucks Yeomanry, who attended the Coronation, in which he says-" I resign, feeling it to be unbecoming in me either to accept any portion of praise which may belong to such services, or by disclaiming it, to interfere in any respect with that unanimity of sentiment which ought always prevail amongst the Yeomanry of the county." A Brighton paper says—" An illustrious indivi- dual, influenced by the social and generous quali- ties of his nature, in one of his casual walks a few days ago, entered a shop where a variety of shewy articles were exposed for sale. The dignified cha- racter of the guest was not unknown to the shop- keeper, and the most sparkling contents of the depot were presently exposed to him. During the cursory inspection, two Custom-house Ofjficers, tyifs ceremonie, presented them-;elves-lbp-y bowed re- spectfully to theiatter—they were in the mere ex- ecution of their duty, and the King's commands they observed and a seizure of the greater part of the exhibited valuables followed. The scene was novel, and calculated to surprise-where no previous suspicion had rested—and it did so—but it called forth no comments." Three or four persons have been taken into cus- tody at Hastings, on suspicion of having in their possession a part of the large property which was about the person of the Jew who was drowned off Dover some time ago. Thrandiston, in Suffolk, was, the morning after the late fair, visited by a whirlwind, by which a great assortment of china, glass, and earthenware, was suddenly swept away from a large stall, carried to a great height in the "air, and to a considerable distance. The owner of the stall, and three other persons were blown down, and a boy who was placing some goods on a waggon was blown off. Some of the broken crockery was' afterwards picked up at more than a mile from Thrandiston.

Ml Mr. Bailey complained, that every impediment n* was thrown in the way of the persons whose duty it was to attend to the removal of the bodyv He H then took out of his pocket a paper, and read from N| it the route of the procession The-funeral ca-SB valcade to pass from the gate of Brand<ntbnrgh- house, through Hammersmith; to turn round by Kensington Gravel-pits near the church,, into the mf Uxbridge-road, to Bayswater,, from thence to Ty- burn Turnpike, down the Edgware-road', ilong1 tiro" jithe New-road to Islington, down the City-road, along Old-street, Mile-end, to llomlord, &c.

Mr. Wilde declared tlnf he would not go with the procession in the route rrjehtioned by Mr. B,Liley, nor should the body lie t;rken, except hytNt force; and when the body stopped at the first stage, he should be there to exep iso his legal right, as Executor (which was superior to any usurped II power then exercised hy the officers employed by BM his Majesty's Ministers), to have thfdlod,y removed M according to his own will, and that of her late Majesty, wi thout squadrons of soldiers. Mr.Bail'ey, said that his orders were imperative, and nothing should prevent him from doing. hi9 duty. He vyonld take upon himself the peril of removing the body.
