iirtttsfc. The Gazette of Friday contains an order in council, that no ballot or enrolment for the local militia do take place this year. Also an order, declaring the port of St. John's, Newfoundland, a free port. The writ for Clare has been issued, so that this long- talked-of election will now be settled in a fortnight. The letters from Manchester on Saturday morning, lead to unpleasant anticipations that the tranquillity of the town will not be preserved much longer. The turn-out of the cotton-spinners increasing against the proposed reduction of wages, and there appearing no hope that an advance of prices will enable the masters to give the former rate of wages, the employers have declared their intention to go on with other hands, unless the men accept the terms offered them. The masters justify their step by stating, in their address, that unless they resume business immediately, the trade will be entirely transferred to other districts, where spinning is now carried on from fifteen to forty per cent. under the Manchester prices. Some of the hand-loom weavers have turned out against fresh reductions, and it is feared that the introduction of new hands from Scotland and other parts will lead to acts of violence on the part of the workmen. The wreck of the Cam Brea Castle, East Indiaman, has led to the detection of some curious frauds, which are sup- posed to have been practised on the excise for some time past. The frauds consist in the obtaining, by means of forged certificates, sent from different parts of the country, the drawback allowed on the exportation of various goods, such as cotton, glass, &c. Some boxes shipped by the Cam Brea Castle, certified to contain these articles, have been found to be filled with bricks and rubbish. DEPARTURES FOR THE SWAN RIVER SETTLEMENT.-—The Gilmore, purchased by Mr. Thomas Peel, proceeded on Saturday down the river, on her voyage to the settlement at Swan River. Mr. Peel and his family, it is understood, will join the vessel at Plymouth. In this vessel other set- tlers are also going out. The Hooghley, another ship of 500 tons burthen, chartered by the same individual, is not yet quite ready for her voyage. Among other things sent ,out to the Swan River are some fine race-horses. Several gentlemen of fortune are on the point of leaying England for the new colony. One, a landed proprietor in Sussex, has already given instructions for the sale of his landed property, and will take with him some of the choicest breed of merinos in existence. He intends taking out with him goods, agricultural instruments, &c. and stock to breed from, to the amount of £30,000. Several reports of contemplated changes in the Cabinet found their way into the newspapers during the last week. They are evidently tinged by party-spirit, the writers stating that which they desire, rather than that which they believe to be true. For the present we decline giving further cur- rency to statements that are only based upon suspicion, with the exception of one, which is so universal as to seem hkely-Mr. Peel's retirement from office. Whether to pri- vate life, or the House of Lords, has not transpired. JAMAICA.—Papers from this island to the 10th of June, mention that a smart shock of an earthquake had been again felt. The weather had taken a favourable turn for the plant- ers, some fine refreshing rains having fallen throughout the island. There had been a tremendous hurricane at St. Ann's, on the night of the 2d ult. which had done great da- mage to the crops. The Governor of St. Lucia, Sir David Stewart, had promulgated the order in council agreed to on the i5th of January, by which free persons of African birth or descent are placed on a footing with the whites. LIVERPOOL, JULY 13.—By the Richard Rimmer, Capt. Chambers, four Turkish young boys came passengers, being sent by their parents for the benefit of an English education, and intend to proceed to London in a short time,
IRELAND.
IRELAND. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT OF THE TIMES.) DUBLIN, FRIDAY NIGI-IT.-It is due to the Executive to state, that a fortnight ago nearly three hundred letters were despatched from the Castle of Dublin to the Magistracy of the north, enjoining them to prevent any illegal processions on the 12th inst.; and these letters were followed and ac- companied by others of a private and unofficial character, strongly urging that the personal influence of Magistrates should be zealously devoted to induce these factions to de- sist from prosecuting the arrangements which were known to be in progress for assembling and parading with the in- signia of their clubs. The effect of these injunctions is now apparent in the public assemblage of seven different bands ° Orangemen in as many places in the north of Ireland. I am led to believe that the accounts published in the newspapers are, in some instances, exaggerated. The fact, however, is as clear as noon-day, that the Orangemen met 111 bands and carried their usual banners; that, as might be I expected, they came into hostile collision with the peasantry; that blood was spilt in these horrid encounters; and that they avow their determination to re-assemble in like manner on the 12th of August. A stranger here cannot imagine himself in a community where peace prevails: the news- venders are crying, B—y news from the north—list of the killed and wounded." I am bound to tell you frankly at once, that out of the uke of Cumberland's letter to the Earl of Enniskillen has recent spirit of violence been re-animated. The influ- ^f' ^.ran&emen are informed from London that the Duke ° Wellington's Government is unstable; and I am assured, "Ron authority in which I place implicit reliance, that there is a deep-laid plan among the Orangemen to keep alive this system of irritation, which they know full well will be re- sisted, at the risk of their lives, by the Roman Catholic Peasantry, for the purpose of inducing a belief in England, at the settlement of the Catholic Question was a mere pretext, and that there exists a deep-rooted spirit of insubor- dination among the bulk of the population of Ireland, which JS only to be appeased by the overthrow of the Established Church, and the repeal of the Union. I cannot trust myself with the rumours at each side which the post of this day has brought, both from the south as well as from the north of Ireland. It is in vain to sink the 'fact, that the Catholics, in Fermanagh particularly, are t' armed, and prepared to come to issue with the Orangemen ,on any and every occasion. I am just informed, by a letter from a Magistrate on the spot, that crowds of them have fled from their homes, and actually encamped in a wild district, near Florence Court, regularly prepared for a cam- paign in the open country. I can add, that the executive "unctionaries in the Castle are in close conclave. A Privy Council is summoned for two o'clock to-morrow at the •Pheenix-park. It is intended at once to send troops into the north, to institute a rigorous inquiry into the recent out- ages, and to put down with a strong hand the meetings at both sides. I have reason to believe that a proclamation to this,effect will be issued after the Council to-morrow. We only allude to the rumours so diligently put forth by certain Morning and Evening cotemporaries, respecting a change of Ministry, to give them the fullest contradiction. Attempts, we are aware, have been made to sow dissension in the Cabinet, and jealousy in the mind of the highest Per- sonage in the realm; but they have been hitherto as fruitless and vain as they have been base and unprincipled; and we can state, on the best authority, that there is no more ground for believing that any change is about to take place in the Ministry, than for apprehending a blockade of the port of London from a Russian fleet. Both events are undoubt- edly possible, but they are highly improbable, and for pre- cisely the same reason in both cases-the want of power to effect them .Morning Advertiser. As a proof of the unexampled and, we will add, unfair eagerness that exists in certain quarters, to throw peculiar obloquy upon a certain individual, it is positively affirmed, that great efforts are making in the City to procure signa- tures to a round robin, declaratory of a want of confidence in the existing order of things, so long as the individual in question continues to hold an efficient office in the Admi- nistration. The probability is that this attempt will prove abortive; but the simple circumstance of its having entered into the heads of the wise men of the east is too remarkable to be passed without notice.-Morning Chronicle. UNIVERSITY OF EDINBURGH.- Monday the Senatus Academicus of the University of Edinburgh conferred the degree of Doctor of Medicine on ninety-nine gentlemen, after having gone through the appointed examinations, and publicly defended their inaugural dissertations. Of these gentlemen, twenty-six were natives of Scotland, thirty-two were from England, thirty-two from Ireland, one from Por- tugal, one from Russia, one from Malta, one from Canada, one from Bermuda, three from Jamaica, and one from the East Indies, RECORDER'S REPORT,—On Thursday, the recorder made his report to his Majesty of the prisoners capitally convicted at the last Old Bailey Sessions, viz -Charles Smith, Henry Pike, Mary Brown, Susannah Gibbs, Mary Ann Bacon, Thomas Devine, George Edwards, William Jones, and Joseph Byron, stealing in a dwelling-house Thomas Worts, Edward Martelly, 25, and Henry Jubilee Conway, 19, for forgeries on the bank of Drummond, and also on Mr. Ham- let, the silversmith; Ann Wilson, Charles Banks, William Humphries, Henry Phillips, John Ilamson, Richard Ellis, and John Colville, housebreaking; Charles Jones, 24, utter- ing forged bank notes; John Watkins, uttering counterfeit coin, having before been convicted; Ann Chapman, 28, attempting to murder her child at Acton; William Dimmit, alias Long, and John Tisley, alias Joseph Harris, returning from transportation; James Butler, 20, for setting fire to the cloth-factory at Chelsea; Edward Turner, 19, Thomas Crowther, 18, and James Daley, highway Robbery; and Charles, alias David Richards, rape. All of whom his Ma- jesty was graciously pleased to respite during pleasure, ex- cept Charles Jones, Ann Chapman, Edward Turner, and Thomas Crowther, who are left for execution on Wednesday next; and Edward Martelly, Henry Jubilee Conway, and James Butler, on Monday the 27th inst. The case of John Tisley, alias Joseph Harris, was not reported, Taylor and Carlisle are now at Manchester lecturing to very scanty audiences. They have sent round circulars to the clergy and dissenting ministers of the town, presenting their compliments as Infidel Missionaries, and challenging discussion on the merits of the Christian religion. It has been stated in the London papers that a fraud in the Revenue has been brought to light in unpacking the cases of which the cargo of the Carn Brea Castle consisted, and that brick-bats and other rubbish had been found .in some packages that purported to contain glass and other commodities, on which a heavy drawback is allowed.-We have made diligent inquiries at our Custom House and of the brokers, and have also seen nearly the whole of the packages and their contents and we find that the cases and description exactly correspond with the Manifest, and that their con- tents are strictly conformable to the invoices furnished to the underwriters; and that the cargo, in the whole, is adapt- ed, without collusion, to the Indian markets.-Portsmoltth Paper.. Mr. Shiel has published, in the Dublin Evening Post, a long and elaborate defence of his conduct in accepting a re- tainer of 300 guineas from Lord George Beresford. The chief object of this epistolary vindication is to prove, that in acting as he has done, he has acted in strict accordance with the dictates of common sense and liberal sentiment. Eman- cipation once gained—the past, he says, should be forgotten. Liberality should succeed intolerance, and the waters of Lethe be drank alike by Catholic and Protestant. As a curious instance of the multiplicity of law proceed- ings which will sometimes accompany a contested bank- ruptcy, we are credibly informed that, during the five years already elapsed since the suspension of payments of Messrs, Chambers, no less than fifty actions in law and equity have arisen. Is this the way, we beg leave to ask, to satisfy the claims of creditors, and whether, if a little moderation and temper had only been observed by both parties in the out- set, the estate would not have been spared the mass of liti- gation in which it is at present involved ? DRAWBACK ON THROWN SILK.-Byan order of the board of trade, the act of allowing a drawback of 3s 6d per lb,. on the exportation of manufactured silks, to such parties as may have imported a similar weight of thrown silks, is construed retrospectively, so that any person who has imported thrown silks for two years previously to the passing of the act, is entitled to the drawback; or if not himself exporting, he may sell or assign the right to receive the drawback. EXTRAORDINARY WAGERS.—Wagers have been laid at Maestricht, between some respectable merchants there, to a considerable amount, that pigeons taken from thence to London, would, when let loose here, reach Maestricht in six hours. Forty-two pigeons were brought over in the Attwood steam-packet on Thursday last, about noon, and were marked in the course of that day by a person connected with the Dutch Embassy here; and yesterday morning, at twenty-six minutes past eight o'clock, the time agreed upon, they were let loose, and proceeded on their aerial voyage. The principal wager is for 10,000 guilders; and if any one of the pigeons arrives in six hours, the wager is won. They belong to different persons, forming a society at Maestricht. The first bird that arrives, even after the six hours, obtains for its owner a prize of a small gold pigeon the second, a silver ditto; the third, a dozen silver knives and forks; be- sides other prizes, The distance is about 260 English miles, in a direct line over Ramsgate and Ostend. The man who came over with the pigeons offered to bet the value of a cask of wine that one 1, of them would be at Maestricht by half-past twelve o'clock yesterday; the rain was against the performance, but the wind was favourable. The result cannot be known until next week. CHARGE OF STABBING AND ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE.- James Wating, the watchman, who was acquitted at the last Old Bailey Sessions of the capital charge of maliciously stabbing with intent to kill Lydia Goddard, but detained for the minor offence, was placed at the bar on Saturday at the Middlesex Sessions, upon an indictment charging him with a common assault upon the said Lydia Goddard. The facts of this case having been recently detailed at length, it will be sufficient to state, that the prisoner with- out any other cause than the prosecutrix's desiring a man named Perry, with whom she lived, and who, as well as the prisoner, was a watchman belonging to St. Pancras, to leave hk company, went over to her, and in the coolest manner possible, pulled from his pocket a butcher's knife, about six inches in length, and plunged it into her left breast. The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty. The Chairman sentenced the prisoner to two years im- prisonment, and to be kept to hard labour. The prisoner, upon hearing the sentence of the Court, thrust his hand into the breast of his coat and pulled out a breakfast knife, with the other hand he quickly drew down his neck handkerchief, and was just in the act of cutting the carotid artery, when his arm was seized by a fellow-prisoner and Havell, a headborough of Battlebridge; a posse of constables, together with Mr. Vickery, the Governor of the House of Correction, and Mr. Harles, the chief constable of Clerkenwell, quickly surrounded him, and the knife was forced from his hand. His arms were then secured behind his back by means of a pair of handcuffs. The consterna- tion of the persons in Court was excessive. The prisoner's sentence was then changed from hard labour to solitary confinement. BoW-STREET, SATURDAY .—A person, who described him- self as a doctor, presented himself before Mr. Halls, and said he came to lodge a complaint against his Majesty's Government for refusing to pay him the sum of £46.165 for attending and physicking 300 men employed as labour- ers by the Board of Works, at the Castle of Windsor. I have made frequent applications for my money," said the applicant, "■ to the Duke of Wellington and Mr. Peel, but without effect. Indeed, the last letter which I wrote to the Duke of Wellington was a very smart one, I assure you, and I had an interview with Sir Richard Birnie in his pri- vate room soon after upon the subject, but I have never been able to obtain my money." I "You have come to the wrong place, my friend," ob- served Mr. Halls, smiling; H you must proceed for the re- covery of your money elsewher"; but I can ha.rdl-v think that your claim would have been resisted if you really per- formed the service which you say you did. There must have been a sad epidemic amongst the labourers at Windsor, that so many as 300 of them should have had occasion for your professional assistance," Applicant.-Then I suppose I must go to law for the amount of my bill? Mr, Halls-That is a question for your own consideration. I can give you no advice. Applicant—Then I can only tell you this, that I shall not give up my attendance and medicine for nothing; and moreover, Ml:, Magistrate, I consider I have just as good a right to be paid for my professional assistance as you have for sitting in that chair, No doubt of that," said Mr, Halls: good morning to you, Sir." The Applicant then withdrew. APPREHENSION OF ROBINSON, THE NOTORIOUS BANK ROBBER.-This man, who has been concerned in numerous Bank robberies, was apprehended in Plymouth, together with four of his gang, and Forrester was sent off on Mon- day to that place from the Mansion-house, intelligence hav- ing been received in the morning. It appears that a formid- able gang of housebreakers have been at work for some time, in the neighbourhood of Devonport. Houses were broken open and plundered of money and plate, and the authorities were convinced that the thieves were of the highest order, as they never took trifles. So serious were these depredations at last become, that it was found neces- sary to hire private watchmen to protect property. Still, however, the depredations continued. Ellis, the officer, accidentally saw Robinson in the streets, and ascertained that he was courting the servant maid of Messrs. Hodge and Norman, the bankers. The officer immediately sus- pected the object of the courtship, and means were taken to give additional security to the banking-house. A quarrel among the thieves discovered a plot, which otherwise would probably have succeeded, notwithstanding all the precau- tions. Mr. Husband, the banker, received a communica- tion from one of them, who had been refused an adequate participation in what was going forward, stating that a rob- bery was regularly arranged-the locks of his doors, or of those of the neighbouring banker's having been matched with keys, and the day appointed being Sunday. The com- municant admitted that he was induced to make this disclo- sure, in consequence of the refusal of his friends to give him a share of the swag that was daily divided. The servant gii-l.whostt Srst: liad a !over, upon being pressed, acknowledged that a strange gentleman had been paying her attentions for some time-that he was very anx- ious in his inquiries about the hours at which the family were at home—and that she told him they went to chapel every Sunday evening. Foiled in this object, the thieves were not at all prevented from attempting to make up for the disappointment, Robinson went into a public-house, and made several inquiries of the landlord about a small farm. While they were talking together, four men of re- spectable appearance came out of the parlour, and left the house, and Robinson soon afterwards departed, The land- lord immediately perceived that his drawer had been broken open, and robbed of 100 sovereigns, The five thieves were soon apprehended at an inn at Plymouth, where they were drinking, Some of the money which happened to be mark- ed, has been identified. It appears that Robinson has been for some time wanted, according to the police slang, for business which he executed in London. The courting sys- tem is one which the London thieves are much in the habit of practising. Robinson, it appears, is an assumed name. BUILDING SPECULATIONS.—Many respectable individu- als of small capitals have lately formed building companies, for the erection of small houses and cottages in the environs of the metropolis. There are not fewer than five of these companies already formed, and the number of habitations they have erected in all directions round London is very great. One Company, called the Union Building Society, has erected not less than two hundred small houses in the vicinity of Bethnal Green. The Friendly Building Soci- ety," and Amicable Building Society," have also erected great numbers in different directions, The houses erected by the companies are mostly adapted to the working classes, containing from two to six rooms, and are let at rents vary- ing from 3s to 8s a-week. In many instances the specula- tion has proved successful; but in others, disagreements have arisen amongst the members, which have led to the dissolution of the company. Many individuals are also speculating in building small houses for sale, which are sometimes sold at Garraway's or the mart by hundreds in a day. Upwards of two hundred such houses were brought to the hammer last week. Such houses being generally built in the slightest manner, are said by the knowing ones, to be 1; built to stand till they are knocked down." This reminds us of an article in the paper of a celebrated water- ing place, stating, that several new-built houses had last week fallen down of their own accord," It is ascer- tained, that not less than 100,000 houses have been built, within seven miles of London, during the last ten years; and if the building rage continues unabated, there can be little doubt that a still greater number will be added to our overgrown metropolis, within the ensuing ten years. One advantage arising from this multiplication of small sized houses is, that a large portion of the working classes are en- a:bled to have a little house to themselves," always an ob- ject of desire, as a cottage of four rooms, with a little garden, can be obtained, in many situations, not too distant for the business of the occupant, at the same rent that should be paid for a single room in many of the most confined situa- tions of the metropolis. Many thousand acres in the neigh- bourhood of London, which ten years ago were under mar- ket garden cultivation, are now covered with bricks, and land continues to be taken on building leases in all directions, The Archbishop of Canterbury, the Bishops of London and Winchester, have lately granted building leases to a great extent on their property near London; and new squares, terraces, crescents, &c. &c. are still to add to the extent of the metropolis, and the revenues of the church. Already Mother Shipton's prophecy, that" St.Poiasras'Church wcu'd come to the middle of London," appears to be fulfilled. EXTENSION OF INLAND NAVIGATION.—The long contem- plated junction of the lthine and the Danube is about to be undertaken by a French company, on a patent for 99 years. The plan is to improve the navigation of the Danube, above Ulm, into the Grand Duchy of Baden; from thence to cut a canal through the Black Forest to join the Kinzing, and to make the Kinzing navigable to where it falls into the Rhine, near Kelh, The advantage of such a work to the commerce of Europe is incalculable. The traveller going on board a steam boat at the Tower, might pass through the heart of Europe, and reach its ancient capital, Constantino- ple, on its very extremity, without setting his foot on land- and probably in little more than a week. This would open all the riches of Asia Minor to the enterprise of the com- mercial nations of Europe, and to none of them could the advantages be greater than to this country, abounding in capital and excelling in manufactures. France has excellent engineers, and probably by no nation could the magnificent work be undertaken with a greater certainty of a successful result; and there can be no doubt that as we have long enjoyed the distinction of providing the sinews of war for all the Christian belligerents of the world, we shall not be deprived of the humbler, but more useful, honour of sup- plying at least a fair proportion of the means of accomplish- ing this great benefit to all nations.. When the two great rivers of Europe shall be united, and a canal shall be cut through the isthmus of Darien, which the present unsettled state of South America only prevents being undertaken, this age may boast of having conferred benefits on the nations of the earth, by facilitating their intercourse and the exchange of their productions, which may well challenge the applause, and stimulate the enterprise of all succeeding generations. MANCHESTER^ JULY 18.—A very considerable failure has taken place, which has thrown additional gloom over this town. The house is in the American trade, and has for several years exported largely to the United States. The amount owing is upwards of £65,000, and it is feared that the estate will not turn out well. There has also been a very large failure at Huddersfield, which, though not imme- diately affecting Manchester, is regarded as an indication of a dangerous state of trade. Another, but not so extensive as either of the above, has taken place at Chorley. There has also been this week the failure of a spinner here, but he does not owe much. EXTRAORDINARY SWIMMING FEAT.Dr. Bedale, of whom most of our readers will have heard as having accom- plished several difficult feats of swimming, undertook on Thursday last, for a wager of £ 20, to swim 300 yards in 60 strokes, in a pond at Holt Town, Before commencing his swimming feat, the Doctor had his feet tied together, and a stick four feet long, with a flag at one end, put into each hand. In this state he was rowed in a boat into the middle of the pond, and thrown into the water, where he floated, A weight of four pounds was then put upon his chest, and he had intended to have floated to the shore in that way, but the necessary motion of his arms to propel him to the shore dislodged the weight, and it sunk. It had remained, however, long enough to convince the spectators that he could have borne it. After he had floated to the shore, he commenced his task of swimming 300 yards in 60 strokes; and to the astonishment of the spectators, who loudly cheered him as he came in, lie accomplished it with great ease in 51 strokes, notwithstanding the disadvantage of very shallow water.—Manchester Guardian. Mademoiselle Sontag is now on a visit at the Countess St. Antonio's, at Wimbledon, whence she will come to town to sing the two remaining nights of her engagement at the Opera. She will then proceed to the continent, to finish her engagement at Paris: and thence will travel through Germany, where will end her professional career. Madame Vestris has returned from Dublin, having re- ceived £ 700 for twelve nights' exhibition. Her engagement, however, was a bad speculation for the manager; inasmuch as the receipts of the house, for three nights, amounted to £ 1.55, out of which Madame Vestris received £ 150. Her benefit was a bumper, and the Duchess of Northumberland attended in her own private box.—Sunday Paper. Madame Catalani terminated a successful career of north- ern circuits at Armagh on Monday week, having previously delighted numerous and fashionable audiences at London- derry and Sligo. This distinguished songstress received no less a sum in Dublin and Cork, than f2000 for 28 nights' performance. She is now on her way to Clifton (Hot Wrells) to enjoy tranquility; and in the autumn she intends return- ing to her house in Paris, from whence she proceeds to Florence. IMPORTANT TO MALTSTERS—Mr. Thomas Salmon, of Stoke Ferry; in Norfolk, has obtained a patent for an im- proved malt-kiln, into which a new principle of drying has been successfully introduced; it is very simple, consisting of an apparatus that will cost only a few shillings, and may, Y, when prepared, be applied in five minutes. He has fixed a very moderate sum for his licence for each kiln to which it may be applied, viz..C5 for a kiln 20 feet square, or 3d for every square foot any kiln may contain. Mr. Salmon has been a maltster for upwards of 30 years, and superintends at Stoke four large makings of a superior description, for Messrs. Whitbread and Co. of London, the kilns of which he has reconstructed upon his patent principle, We have also the authority of Mr. Alderman Crisp Brown, of Nor- wich, the Chairman of the Maltsters' Association, to say, that he has altered some of his kilns agreeably to Mr. Sal- mon's plan, and that he has tried and witnessed its useful effects, which are—to bring the malt off soundly dried, of a finer colour and flavour, and with a very considerable saving of fuel.-Norfulk Chronicle, Monday afternoon, at five o'clock, and just as Cornhill was crowded by merchants and others leaving 'Change, a very gentlemanly looking personage stepped into the shop of Mr. Savory, bullion dealer, Cornhill, and requested the shopman to tell E50 worth of French gold, which he was anxious to purchase, being about to leave London for Paris. The stranger desired that the gold, on its being counted, might be placed on the counter while he stepped into the next door (Alderman Birch's confectionary shop), apparently for the purpose of taking an ice. He had scarcely left the shop when a man rushed in from the street, and made a dash at the gold lying on the counter, and immediately ran off with 27 Napoleons. He had snatched 28, but one of the coins dropped out of his hand in the shop. Mr. Savory, jun. who luckily happened to be behind the counter, imme- diately pursued the thief through Pope's-head-alley, and down past the Mansion House, never losing sight of his man for a moment, A gentleman passing by, whose atten- tion had been arrested by the cry of 'stop thief,' laid hold of him, and he was immediately taken to the Compter. Another Napoleon was dropped in Pope's-head-alley, and 26 more, making in all 28, the exact number missing, were found in his pockets. On being interrogated as to what he was, where he lived, &c„ he merely answered that he was a tailor, and in corroboration thereof a thimble was found in his pocket, but without any other implement of trade. The prisoner's name is Wilson,
JFORRTGIN
JFORRTGIN Lisbon papers to the 8th instant mention the arrival of a vessel from St. Michael's, which had brought an account of the operations of the squadron blockading Terceira. Five vessels had been taken, which attempted to force the block- ade of the island—namely, an English brig and schooner, and a yacht, which were sent to the island of St. Michael, and two Portuguese yachts, which are kept for the service of the blockading squadron. The English yacht is stated to have had letters on board for the rebels the brig had a cargo of provisions and arms; and the schooner came from the island itself. Accounts from the Havannah to the 14th ult. in'the Ame- rican papers, and to the 8th'in the French journals, concur rican papers, and to the 8th'in the French journals, concur in stating that the Spanish government is about to make ano- ther attempt to re-conquer Mexico. General Barradas had arrived from the Peninsula, to take the command of between four and five thousand men, who would be landed on the coast of Campeachy, the inhabitants of that place being considered favourable to the old government. The account says, that the expedition consists of two seventy-fours, three frigates, and several brigs and schooners. Two schooners were also fitting out at Matanzas. The American ship Bingham, of Philadelphia, and the brig Chillion, had been chartered for conveying- troops, and the captains of other vessels were making proposals to the same effect. PARIS, JULY 16.-General La Fayette has given orders to sell the lands which lie possesses in the United States, to pay the debts of Mr, Monroe. The latter has refused to accept the gift; but the General's agent has received orders, at all events, to follow his instructions. This is the reason for which the lands of General La Fayette in the United States have been recently put up to sale.—A horrid event has taken place on the'.Change here; M. Richebraque, a traveller to several mercantile houses, blew out his brains in the open 'Change; he was much esteemed, and a father of a family. Extreme distress was the cause. ROME, JUNE 30.—The following is the substance of a circular addressed by the Pope to the Patriarchs, Primates, Archbishops, and Bishops His Holiness first observes, that it is his duty to watch not only over the people of Christendom, but also over their pastors (Antistites ), and does not so much recommend to his respectable brethren to fulfil their sacred obligations with the greatest strictness, as he prays to the Lord to bless their efforts. His Holiness deplores the numerous attacks directed against religion un- der the cloak of philosophy, and the error which proclaims that salvation is to be obtained in every religion. Upon this principle, every mode of faith would be equally valua- ble, and truth and error would be placed upon a level. His Holiness then recites the regulations of the Councils of Trent, with respect to the translation of the bible into modern languages. Lastly, he recommends them to enforce, above all things, the sacredness of the sacrament of marriage, and the doctrine of its indissolubility, and not to permit the pro- pagation of maxims which are in any manner contrary to the Divine Law." —— NEWS FROM THE THEATRE OF WAR. BERLIN, JULY 12.-Silistria surrendered by capitulation on the 18th (30th June). The garrison, consisting of 8000 men, as well as the 10,000 armed inhabitants, are prisoners of war. The Grand Vizier is closely invested in Shumla by the corps of General Count Diebitsch. ODESSA, JUNE 27.—An official notice has been published here to do away with the bad impression caused by false re- ports respecting a contagious disorder said to prevail here. The magistrates state that in fact a contagious disorder bad prevailed in the quarantine, but that measures were imme- diately adopted to prevent its spreading, and it is connned to the few persons who had to do with infected goods. In the town itself there is no such disorder, and even the com- mon diseases are now rare. Bessarabia is very healthy. A second sanitary cordon has lately been established upon the Dniester, to strengthen that on the Pruth and the Danube, —Prussian State Gazette, July 13. CONSTANTINOPLE, JUNE 20.—(By Express.)—The Am- bassadors of England and France have arrived here, and have been received with the greatest enthusiasm. The throng of the people, who usually take little interest in public mat- ters, was extremely great. The Porte sent Deputies to the two Ambassadors, to compliment them in their hotels; soon after the Dragoman of the Porte waited upon them to pre- sent to them a message from the Reis Effendi. Preparations are already making for the solemn audience to be given to the two Ambassadors, which will begin in a few days, and then the negociations will begin on account of which they have come hither. Count Guilleminot has already renewed his acquaintance with the foreign ministers resident here, Mr. Gordon has hitherto seen only Baron Ottenfels, Von Zayden, and Canitz. The latter will leave Constantinople in a few days. Since the 15th of this month, great activity has been observed in the army of the Sultan. Disagreeable news has been received here from the army (particularly of a battle on the 11 th instant), which the Porte endeavours by every means to hinder from spreading.—Meantime the foreign Ambassadors have received intimations which an- nounce nothing good. It is said the Grand Vizier will come here to give the Sultan an accurate account of the st-t2 of things. The Russians, it is said, have gained a considera- ble victory before Shumla, and to have compelled the Grand Vizier to retreat to that place. It is certain that at this mo- ment no Turkish troops keep the field against the enemy and that in Karnabat, to the south of the Balkan, fugitives have been seen, who spread terror among the inhabitants. Some persons believe that this unfortunate event, and the presence of the Ambassadors, may lead to peace, but others believe that the war is now going to begin seriously; that the Sultan will take the field with the standard of the Pro- pher, and, as he has vowed to do, lead the whole nation against the enemy. The activity that is observed in the Sultan's camp almost leads us to fear the latter resolution, Seven thousand men, commanded by the Seraskier Pacha, set out to-day for the army in the field. The fall of Silistria was announced at Paris by telegraphic despatch from Strasbourg, to which place it was brought by express. This event is so important, that expresses, con- veying the news, were despatched to several quarters. A letter from Vienna says, two Pachas with three tails, 10,000 men, 250 pieces of cannon, and 204 standards, fell into the hands of the conquerors. The Emperor Nicholas is said to have addressed notes of a very amicable character to all the Cabinets of Europe, to satisfy them with respect to his intentions, and protesting that his whole wish is to conclude peace with Turkey. This was after receiving the news of the battle of the ilth of June. His tone may change with the fall of Siiistria. CONSTANTINOPLE, JUNE 22.-The Ambassadors of Eng- land and France have not yet had any formal conferences with the Reis Effendi, but have endeavoured, through a. confidential channel, to come to an understanding with him respecting the objects of their mission. They are said to have learned by this means that the Porte will not negociate on the basis of the Protocol signed at London, and espe- cially the article which requires the extension of the boun- daries of Greece to the Gulf of Volo and Arta: they ac- cordingly expect to meet with great difficulties on their mission. The Sultan persists in the system which he has adopted. No recent accounts have been received from Shumla. The Grand Vizier is collecting there as many troops as he can, and hopes to get 40,000 men together without weakening the garrisons. All men capable of bear- ing arms are now to march from the interior to the Balkan. The loss of the Turks, in the battle of the 11th of June, was, according to their own account, very great. Ali Pacha is said to have fallen on that day. Meantime many persons flatter themselves that peace will soon be restored, and speak of deputies that were to be sent to the head-quarters. This report, however, is generally looked upon as impro- bable. The Capitan Pacha has not yet returned from his expedition into the Black Sea. BUCHAREST, JUNE 26.—The reserve, under Gen. Tolstoy, has received orders to join the army on the Danube. It consists of 30,000 men of all arms. General Diebitsch is said to be preparing to pass the Balkan. WAR BETWEEN AUSTRIA AND MORocco.-The follow- ing is an extract of a letter received this mornine, from the Agent to Lloyd's at Gibraltar, dated July 4 :—" Yesterday the Austrian Consul sent to the different Consuls here cir- cular copies of a despatch to him, signed by the commander of the Austrian squadron here and the Envoy, Baron Flu- gell, notifying the commencement of hostilities against Mo* rocco reserving a right of blockading one or more ports in Barbary, claiming a right of search, and of seizing, and confiscating articles which are contraband of war, destined for the army or the navy of the enemy, but will not molest the regular trade, and acknowledges that the flag protects the cargo/'
