THE LATEST LONDON INTELLIGENCE. 40 (From the London Guardian of Friday, yesterday.) The Augsburg Gazette contains no intelligence of any importance. The Hamburgh Correspondent contains a long letter from Beilin, proving that the north-fcast and the south of Germany are dbily widening the gap that is between them the north-east of Germany, or absolute monarchy, would, in case of a general war, side with Russia, while southern, or constitutional Germany, would adhere to France, to which it is indebted for the form of its constitutional Fovernment. Lord Minto, it appears, has exerted ali hit influence, but in vain, to olitain permission for three Englishmen, who have received orders from the Prussian police to leave Berlin, to remain in that city. The police, it seems, are excessively severe: investigations are daily going on, and several arrests have been effected. The intelligence that we have received from Stuttgard state that the commercial treaty with Prussia is on the point of being terminated, notwithstanding all the reports to the contrary that are afloat. The States of Electoral Hesse, which were opened some time ago, have not yet been able to present their address to the Co-Regent, in consequence of the illness of the Countess of Schaunbourg, the Prince's mistress; but as that lady is gradually recovering, it is expected that a day will soon he appointed for the reception of a deputa- tion. The Prince, though in very limited circumstances, has given about 2501. to celebrate that lady's recovery. There is some opposition made to the fortifications reund Paris, by the Municipal Council, which is getting up a petition to the King on that subject. Some one accused M. de Bondy, the present Prefect of the Seine, of being at the bottom of it. This offended M. de Bondy, who tendered his resignation. This, however, has not yet been positively accepted; though M. de Rambuteau is already talked of as being his successor. SWITZERLAND. LUCERNE. This town is in dismay through a most deplorable event. Between 11 and 12 on the night of the 12th June, a fire broke out in one of the finest quarters of the capital. Assistance was given as soon as possible, but a whole population disturbed from slumber by the dreadful bound of the alarm bell, and the disorder and tumult which arose, for sometime damped the energy of assistance. This took place at Lucerne. Several houses were in some measure invaded at once. The fire increased with rapidity, and the wind, which was high, threatened the whole with ap- proaching destruction. In this perilous conjuncture, it was found requisite to resort to an extreme measure, and pull down an edifice in order to limit tlie progress of the devouring element. The intensity of the heat prevented 'access, and ihe walls of the building were beaten down by cannon balls. This enabled the inhabitants of Lucerne to become masters of the flames, which had already de- stroyed ten beautiful houses. The numerous acts of de- votedness that were shown during the eveniful night will be enumerated hereafter but till we are fully acquainted with details, we shall merely mention a remarkable fact, which proves the patriotism of the inhabitants of Lucerne. The artillery which during the night was thundering in the town was heard at a great distance the noise it oc- casioned made the peasants imagine that war had taken place, and that the Sarnian conference had suddenly in- vaded the town of Lucerne. More than 800 of the rural citizens hastened to the assistance of the government; among them were 60 armed carbineers, who came to share the perils of their brethren. As soon as their arrival was known, a deputation was sent to meet them to inform them of the real state of the case, and to thank them for their devotedne's. The 60 carbineers alone entered the town to preserve tranquillity. I If we add this to the patriotic explosion displayed by the inhabitants of Skaffhausen two months ago, when the Baden troops endeavoured to enter that canton, we shall find a frebh proof of the sentiments that animate the popu- lations of Helvetia. Schaffhausen has shown what recep- tion might be expected by foreigners appearing armed on our territory. Lucerne in turn shows the treatment that would be given to internal enemies, should they ever dare to encroach on the rights that the Swiss natioa has ac- quired by its glorious regeneration. A letter dated Lucerne, June 13, states that more than 70 fire engines met on the spot of the disastrous scene, some of which had been brought a distance of 14 leagues. Berne, Zug and Zurich were conspicuous for their promp- titude in coming to the relief of Lucerne. A thing that gave some affliction was the total absence of succour from the smaller cantons, a circumstance which the Con- slitutionnel Neufchalelais endeavours to explain by ad- vancing that reports of a civil war having broken out in Lucerne were prevalent in the dissident cantons. It was a similar pretext which prevented Neufchatel from giving any assistance when the distrous fire occurred at Locle. Journal du Canton de Friburg. FRENCH FUNDS, JUNK 25.

Our prese" I week's supplies have been 3,820 sacks of flour 5,330 quarters of English, 2bO quarters of Irish, and 1,200 quarters of foreign wheat; 980 quarters of English barley; 6,65(h quarters of English and 8,210 quarters of Irish oats 2,060 quarters of malt. This day's supply of samples, witn the exception of those of peas, which are become scarce, was, for that of a IVe(itie,day, moderately good but the market was I hinly attended by buyers, arid trade with each kind of corn, as also malt, pulse, seeds, and flout, consequently dull, at no material variation from Monday's prices.

LIVERPOOL, June 25—There is this week some in- crease in the supplies from Ireland, especially of flour, which, it will be observed from the above list, exceed 8,400 sacks. An increased confidence has continued to infuse itsell throughout the trade, and prices of almost every article have been on the advance. Picked sampltsof white wheat have brought 9s to 9s 3d, and choice Irish red 7s 8d to 7s 9d, Besides a few speculative purchases, the millers have bought more freely than for a length of time, and several parcels or Limerick wheat have been taken at 7s 3d to 7s 4d per 701bs the inferior qualities do not yet meet much inquiry. For flour there has been liD active demand and some improvement in price; nearly the whole of the old stock has bren cleared off. At to-day's market there was a moderate amount of business in wheat, prices of which we note Id to 2d per 701bs. higher than this day se'nnight. Flour was also 6d per sack dearer, and in fair demand. Oats are held for rather higher rates, but the sale is not lively. Oat- meal-is saleable at 22s 3d, which is an advance of 3d per load. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, Tuesday, June 25. —We have had a brisk market this day. The sales are 5,000 bags at rather higher prices. About 1,000 bales have been taken on speculation. The bulk of the sales are boweds, at 8 to Bid per lb. ODDHAM, &c.-The silk weaving at Oldham, Mid- dleton, and other neighbouring towns round Manchester is still very brisk, but no advance has yet taken place. as was expected in the spring, but the weavers have all full work. The cotton weaving is also brisk, but the wages are miserable. The cotton weaver in the above neigh- bourhood cannot earn more on an average than five shil- lings per week. The plain sarcenet weaver can earn from seven to nine shillings per week. The hatters at Oldham have gone to work at the advanced prices. THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS. The crops in this neighbourhood, of all kinds, now present a luxuriant appearance from the late seasonable rains, and promise a productive year Exeter Gazette. The late rains have done good to everything, and the crops generally, so far as we can remember, never looked more beautiful and promising. Here and there the rye grass exhibits a thin appearance, and will be rather light. The sown grasses are remarkably clean, and unusually free from goose Kraós; a state of things to be ascribed to the attention which is now directed to pre- serving and cleaning of native rye grass seed-aii article which pays the grower remarkably well. The wheats are strong, and will in ear in the course of a few days. The oats are of a deep green colour—the hue that best betokens vigorous health the barleys are vegetating as rapidly as could be wished; and altogether, the season, thus far, is such, that the, farmers can find no fault with it whatever, which is certainly saying a great deal New- castle Journal. The hay harvest is now become general in the neigh. bourhood, and the crops are exceedingly good-in the low meadow lands they exceed an average, and in the high and dry lands a fair share—the lute rains have greatly improved the under grass. Hay, prime quality, sells at 60s. a ton. The south east winds of last week have considerably damaged the wheat in the exposed lands but in our immediate neighbourhood it stands well. Bar- ley also promises a good crop. The sanguine expectations of the apple growers have been somewhat damped by the effects ot the late winds.-Devoitport Telegraph. Hops.-From a rather extended and close observation it may be sately affirmed, that the hop-yartls present as favourable an appearance as at any former similar period in the season. The bines are topping the poles, and the plants look remarkably strong and luxuriant, an obser- vation which will apply to situations where last year the produce was deficient, or nearly failed. The late unusu- ally high gales have blown the plants about a good deal, but there are, as yet, no accounts of any serious .mischief. -Hereford Journal.

MERTHYR 1YDVIL, S.rrURDAY, June 29, 1833. We present to our leaders this day an important series of tables, being an account of the pubHc Income and Expenditure for the years ending the 5th of January, 1831, 1832, and 1833.. In order to make place for them we have been necessarily obliged to encroach upon the space usually reserved for other matter, but the superior interest of what we have given will, we doubt not, be accepted as ample compensation for that omitted. It is rarely that so voluminous a document has ever been even attempted to be published entire by the Provincial Press, because of the great trouble and expense of getting it up but we have been induced to under- take the task by the extraordinary patronage and favour with which the GAZETTE and GUARDIAN has since its commencement been unceasingly honoured. We pray our friends and the public generally to ac- cept this earnest of our increased exertions as the humble expression of our grateful acknowledg- ments, and as a pledge o( our continued anxiety to supply them at every cost with whatever is likely to be useful and agreeable to them. We may, without 11 y presumption perhaps, venture to assert, that for the variety and value of both its original and selected matter, the GAZETTE and GUARDIAN has not been found inferior to any of its contemporaries.

The latest intelligence of which we were in pos- session when our last number went to press informed us that a petition had been presented by Mr. COB- BETT which was signed by 9910 working men of Merthyr Tidvil, who complain of the inadequacy of their wages to purchase provisions in consequence of excessive taxation, and pray the repeal of the malt, hops, soap, &c. taxes, and particularly of the corn laws." The subject matter of this petition is of such important and extensive interest; and cer tain circumstances connected with the petition so naturally call forth some useful observations, that we think it necessary to advert to the subject more fully than we could have done at the time at which it first came under our notice. The first remark that we would make is, that it seems to us singular that a petition on such a sub- ject, and so extensively signed in Merthyr, should have been intrusted to any other hands than those of our own honuurable Representative. Every man, of whatever party, who has the least knowledge of Merthyr or of the iron trade, must be sensible of the high claims that Mr. GUEST 'has upon the con- fidence, and even gratitude, of the persons who signed this petition. His great iron works at Dow- lais are a proof, by night and by day, of the thou- sands to whom his capital affords employment and consequently subsistence and the rate of %rages at which he employs his men is, we believe, even mor liberal than he is of necessity compelled to pay. Wt have frequently enjoyed the pleasure of recording instances of his private benevolence, and of his active exertions in the promotion of public objects of a benevolent tendency. And we ask every one 01 the 10,000 men who signed this petition, if he ca! forget the humane and cuurageous interposition bv which Mr. GUEST saved the lives probably of hun- dreds of misguided men in the Merthyr riots ? And we ask these petitioners only one question more- Can they reconcile it to themselves to show to tlJi. gentlnuan the marked disrespect which it seems the% haveshown him in thus passing over their own chosen Representative, and committing their petition to a straliger ? We, who, on political subjects, differ with Mr. GUEST, say this; and we say it because w. value Y gwir yn erbyn y byd and our politics arc made of sounder stuff than to stand only by un- derrating the merits of our opponents. But if we point out the marked deviation from good feeling which is evinced in this, we do it for a useful object. The Hon. Gentleman to whom this petition was intrusted, not only has no claim upon the respect of the men of Merthyr, but the uniform course of his political life has been that of a person striving to ingratiate himself with the people, no: for their good but for his own advancement. From first to last we have seen him fawning upon the working classes, cramming them with fiatteriiig notions of their own importance, exciting them to a hatred of the rich, and working upon the great tIIas of the people, till he makes them the blind and head- long instruments of his own purposes. Not a fe.v of the misguided men, who suffered the penalty of the law during the agricultural disturbances," acknowledged that their first incentive to unlawful proceedings was Mr. COBBETT'S writings, or Mr. COBBETT'S lecture: and we ask where was the com- mon sense of the men of Merthyr, who did not see that the Orator, fine-spoken Orator as he was, who moved the resolutions," was only bringing them also into COBBETT'S net ? It is a ivise saying, that old friends are best. But there is one thing more in this petition; and it is the thing prayed for. The petitioners say that their wages are inadequate to purchase provisions, i in consequence of taxation; and they pray the re- peal of certain taxes, and of the corn laws. If the wages are inadequate, it is a thing which all good men deplore; a thing which we would make great exertion to remedy. But the petitioners must be sensible that wages depend upon price that no man for instance could give 6s. wages to make a thing which lie must sell for 5s. They must he sensible also that their case of a fall of wages in late years is not a singular, but a general one: and, that the prices of all things, and consequently the wages of the working classes in every line, are falling- by the operations of what are falsely called free trade, is a position which we will explain before long. 'But it rests with themselves whether their condition shall or shall not be materially worse than it is; inasmuch as when tumultuous meetings take place, when poli- tical unions coilect, when large bodies of the people open a correspondence with COBBETT, ATTWOOD, O'CoNNELLand such people,—rich men keep their money in their pockets, instead of spending it in shops or employing it in manufactures. Our towns- people must remember that in other times, when taxes have been much higher, the working classes were well paid and lived well and that now, although taxes have fallen greatly, they are in much worse condition. This we put it to the fine Orator, who moved the resolutions, to expound to them, and till he do so, perhaps the petitioners will doubt whether the taxation of the country be really so much the cause of their depressed condition as he represents. And when our brethren of the working classes of Merthyr petition for the repeal of the corn laws, we ask, did ever man hear of one side of a house being made the stronger by pulling down the wall at the other But this is precisely what they would do inasmuch as the corn laws alone preserve the agricultural body: and-if that body fail, the manufacturing must be without employment. To uniavel the complexities in which our commercial circumstances are entangled is a task of great power of mind, great perseverance of exertion, and un- ruffled patience. On this noble pursuit the sincere but unpretending friends of the people are seriously intent: and We put it feeling ly to the honest, though misguided, men who have signed this petition, not to adopt a course which must alarm the rich, and take awuy the employment of the poor: not to raise political commotion, which must draw off attention. from the embarrassments of trade: not to degrade themselves into the mere human prey of political agitators either at home or abroad.

The French papers received this week contain little worthy of note, save the declarations of Marshal Soult in the Chamber of Deputies respecting the I mentions of the French government a 25 pation of Algiers. It was unequivoc] he Minister of War, that the admit iot entered into any engagement wi relative to the evacuation, but was pe Let as it might think fit. The Budget for 1834 has been voted, and the bills on Primary Instruction and ,j n Public Works have been adopted. The proro- gation of both houses was expected to take place last Wednesday. The Municipal Council of Pari have iieen getting up a petition against the plan of fdftify* ing the capital. The accounts from Italy furnish further details of the Savoy plot, the ramifications of which are reported to extend not only throughout Italy but all Germany. The news from Sp :iin is uninteresting; tile French papers give the copy of .1 letter, dated May 6th, from King Ferdinand to Don Carlos, in answer to that by which the Infante declined giving his assent to the changes which the King, in the interest of his daughter, proposed to make in the law of Spain regarding the succession to the throne. Don Carlos is forbidden in this reply to return to Spain, and is authorized to pro- ceed with his family to the States of the Pope. From Belgium we learn that the address of the Chamber of Representatives, after some days' animated dis- cussion, has been voted. The Ministers obtained a majority by having formed a coal:tion with the ultra Catholic party. The latest intelligence from Constantinople an- nounces that the Egyptian army had actually com- menced its retreat. The Reis Effendi had commu- nicated the fact to the Foreign Ambassadors, and Count Orloff repeated his declaration that the Rus- sian army should retire as soon as he was certain that Ibrahim had retreated. A Russian officer had been despatched to Koniah to ascertain the real intention of the Egyptian commander. The Vienna journals announce the receipt of letters from Alexandria via Trieste, which state that Mehemet Ali, after having dismantled his fleet, had proceeded to Cairo. King Otho, of Greece, left Napoli di Romania in the beginning of last molith for Athens. It was yet uncertain whe- ther the latter city or Corinth would be declared the capital of the new kingdom. The news from Lisbon is to the 16th, and Oporto to the 14th inst. There had been further arrivals from England at the latter place, and a considerable proportion of the new recruits had landed, hut there was no appearance of any forward movement by Don Pedro; there was the same scene of confusion as formerly prevailing—no order, no command, nor subordination. Tne mutiny among the naval forces continued Admiral Sartorius, it is stated in these accounts, has been removed from com- mand of the fleet, which is ordered to the Tagus. In addition we have to add the important information, that Marshal Solignac has resigned in disgust at the intrigues to which he was subjected since he wai ap- pointed General of Don Pedro's army. Jamaica papers to the 13th ultimo state that the elections were nearly concluded, and the great pro- portion of the representatives still atrongly op- posed to Lord Mulgrave and the mother country. Barbados papers to the 23d of May have been re- ceived. The island was in a tranquil state. The accounts from Demerara are to the 16th ultimo; they mention the arrival of the new Governor, Sir J. Carmichael Smith, in that Colony. The New York papers to the 8th instant do not contain any intelligence but what has been antici- pated by previous arrivals. The cholera continues 0 make destructive ravages in different parts of the United States. At Mayoville, Kentucky, and at New Orleans, the fatal effects are particularly con- spicuous and numerous. Melancholy details are also. given in these journals of the mischief done by the late freshet. The damage in the state of Virginia is very considerable. Bogota papers to the 28th of April mention the election of Mr. Joaquin Mosquera, for the Vice- Presidency, notwithstanding his strenuous refusal to accept the office. The province of Blionaventura- has been re-incorporated with New Granada. The northern provinces of the Brazils appear to be in an unsettled state. Some disturbances had takenplace at Para. Sydney papers to late dates give the most satis- factory accounts of the prosperity of the colony. The commercial document emanating from the Sydney Custom-house exhibits an amount of im. portations equal to 602,0321. of manufactures and produce of every description; whilst the exports reach the sum of 384,3441. 10s. making together a grand total of nearly one million sterling as the movement of trade during the past year. The establishment of the Savings' Bank, although of recent date, affords a pleasing indication of the progress of the colony in its moral and social cha- racter. I Bombay papers to the 9th of February have been received the plague had appeared on board the English ship the Sophia—a woman and two men had fallen victims to the fatal disease. Tlve accounts from Singapore are to the 28th of February the merchants of that place were all on the alert for the news from England respecting1 the ludia Company. The expected alteration in the China trade. will make a wonderful change at Singapore.

COALS.-Betweeii the 6th of January 1832 and the same day in 18J3, the quantity of coals ex- ported to ports in, or adjacent to, the Mediterra- nean was 30,072 tons of which there were sent to Gibraltar 10,161; Italy and the Italian islands 4,039; Malta 3,422; Ionian islands 1,180; Tur» key and Greece 323; Morea and Greek islands 647;' Egypt 7,260 Russian ports on the Black Sea 2,435; and Spain and the Balearic islands 605. JUSTICE IS THE EAST.—The petty princes in the central parts of Asia, such as Kabulistan, Thibet, Cashmere, &c. pillage foreign traders less mercilessly when they conceive them likely to re- pass through their territories; and if they refrain from making them disgorge all the profit, derived from their dealings, it is simply because they have too much nous to play the part of the old beldame, and slay the goose with the golden egg. But woe betide the helpless elf, whose face these vultures are not likely to behold again; he is stripped to his last rag. The European traveller himself may not plead an exception to the common rule. As for justice, the individual, who has the power and opportunity of doing wrong, aud does not avail himself of it, is set down as a perfect miracle. Throughout the whole vice-royal of Cashmere there is not a single tribunal before which those, who are at sixes and sevens, can square their squabbles. During the last month, numbers of individuals, many of them from a considerable distance, have come to me in order that I might act as arbiter between them; and the name I have gotten for my adoualettc, (justice), has .not a little tickled my vanity.—Letter from the Asiatic Ira- veller, Jacguemont. Monday week there appeared in the Times. three quarters of a coluinn, whicti purported to be a list of ensions and sinecures enjoyed by members of the Conservative party. In this list the Karl of Hardwicke was s-t down as receiving 7,1501. 3s. per mmum, by virtue of a patent dated September 21, 1825. We have authority to state that the Earl of Hardwicke never re- ceived a shilling of the public money in hia life he has no pension, nor doe. he hold any sinecure offic
