'The Commissioners for ilt#4oithttioft 44 the Na. Coital Debt, hive £62,997 per del to lay out in the purchase of Stock, for fily succescive trans Fer day's. Yesterday was the first day of the quarter, and they purchased 98,600 Reduced, at 63:t. We mentioned . yesteaday, among the rtunners of the Stock Eschange. a report that the Marquis of Wgusst,at was to succeed Lord LIVRRPOOL as Snt Lord ef the Treasury ; and that L•e meant to pot. an • for a time at least, to the operations of the Sink ing Food. To the rumoured change we give no credit t but we wish that we could assert it to be the intention of Ministers to appiy that Fund to the relief of the present distresses of the nation, by s.:bstituting its produce for the I :seised Taxes. This would be wend policy, would soon increase the power of the people to bear new burdens in any case of emergency, and instead of lessering, would thus increase the se. rarity of the Fund Holders. As to any evil resulting from the Funds f .11:ng,should that happen, it is merely ideal; for whatever may be the prices to which Stocks may be reduced, the holder still receives the same an nual income: nor will he sell out but for the purpose of snaking a greater interest otherwise; for sales of Stock, while the price is low, only prove that other wens of employing money are improving.—ln other words, that Commerce, Manufactures, and Agficul tux are extending their demands for Capital: We have great pleasure in observing that the 'Mu eat, without entering into disquisitions respecting the cause or causes by which the present distress of the labouring classes has been produced, are coming for ward cheerfully to contribUte to their relief by liberal subscriptions at the different Bankers in the Metro polis an eeample which will soon be followed throughnut the Kingdom, as we understand that in different Cities and Towns Gentlemen are assvciating (as on a former occasion for the Patriotic Fp ) for the purpose of giving regularity, consist4.y and energy to the efforts of their -fellow citizens in the great terse oChnmanity.—Tlie times, are indeed dis t easing to great numbers, and the ability of many to contribute as they could wish is much limited; but let it be recollected that the widow's mite is accept. able, and may be blessed like the widow's cruise of id- to allay hunger, till the return of a season of p ro . v erity.

Admiral Sir Gamma Coceeuaw, of the find ratification of the Treaty of Peace with the Nepalese, on the 4th of March last. This gratify. ing intelligence from India reached St. Helena on the 18th of June, and Sir . Grottos hastened his ,de iparture in the N.)ItTIIUMBIUMAND on the day follow. ing, and brought the official accounts to Government and the India House yesterday. We need not re mind our Readers that souse very unpleasant re mours were circulating respecting our prospects in the East, which are thus happily set et rest. — The events which have led to this conclusion are as honourable to our arms, as the result is gratifying to our feelings : the season of action was indeed short, for positive fighting only began at the latter end of February, and the treaty was, as we have said above, signed at , he beginning of March. In that very limited period, however, several smart actions took place ; and particularly in the last engagement, which hap. pened on the 2J or Sd of March, the enemy misted with great bravery: about 500 of them fell in battle and our loss was comparatively small I though there is some slight foundation for the report which reackedl this aviary through Trim., that the Conspies troops had been worsted, inasmuch as they were, fel understand. in the".first instance taken by surprise, (probably through souls advantage of local know possessed by the enemy), but coon recovered themselves, repulsed the 'assailants. and obtained the victory which led to the important diplomatic trans; action above described. A Dutch Mail arrived last night: The Journals state that the prelitainary conferences of the Diet at Frankfort will begin on the sth inst. and the solemn opening take place on the 17th. An article from the bliin mentions fresh scenes of cruelty having taken place at Tunis, on the Bst of June. There is proba bly same mistake in the date, for it is not very likely that the first intelligence of any new enormity of the Algerines should first reach us through Germany; but however this may be, we hope that the period is not distant which will destroy for ever the power of these lawless barbarians to renew their crimes. We have received the Paris Papers of Wednesday. There have been more executions in ranee : at Car cassonne a few miserable criminals had some months ag.) attempted to break out at prison, and some how or other politics were wised up with their attempt. Their previous crimes, it is true, deserved death, but we sl:odder with horror at the recital of their melee •chely fate. The least geilty of the whole behaved best on the awful occasion, and tre humbly presume to think that if mercy had been wended to him, the Bour bons would not have dept the less soundly Of Merely afterwards. %V itbout intending for an instant to doubt the maces. sity of striking examples in the present 4pmeralised state of France, we cannot help regretting that some. thing like discrimination should not be used in select. ing the victims of the law : the poor miserable carrier„ for instance, who was emoted. last week at Paris, might quite as well have been tent to carry on his trade in some receptacle for lunatics, as been made a public example of, and that too in a country where we fear there are more dangerous characters still lurking. and about whose arrest there seems to be not the most violent anxiety in the world. One of the criminals executed at Carcaponne is a fair subject of commiseration : we trust the Royal Family of France will take upon them the support of his widow and children. The moral lesson welch he read to his fellow &kens, at his execution, is worth all the money in the Royal Treasury. cousin IBITIAORDINARY Or WITMEIDAT Voaxnge. On Monday, before mass, General Waltersdotff, Envoy Extraordinary, and Minister Plenipotentiary from Denmark, had a private audience of the King, during which he presented to his Majesty a letter of felicitation from the King his master, on the occa sion of the marriage of the Dec de Berri, The nine Conspirators condemned to imprisonment will be put into the pillory • to-day, in front of the Pal ace of Antic*. -- • _ .At Sc.

By these arrivals we learn that the Colonies were perfectly tranquil on the 22d, the day of their sailing. The scarcity of vessels had raised the freight very high. Ship Owners will therefore get rich who vessels there. A letter from Cartassone, of the 22d, contains the following details: " Of the five unfortunate individuals who vere liuihrof the conapiracy in the prisons of this place, two have beep fined in 2000 francs, with five years imprisonment ; and the three others were condemned to death: The sentence was pronounced on Saturday at ball-past two•o'clock, and pnt in execution at five. 6 . One only of these persons (Uardey) excited the ',compassion of the Public, on account of his repent auce, and is pity to his wife and five infant children. were the names or the ktsfrerert:,-6 Corporal of the Legion of tree Aude, to imprisgoinent ; fdiqed, a peasant, accused of parricide and two other crimes; Gardey, a dis charged soldier of the artillery, imprisoned for having jacei ed two horses which had been stolen ; B mnery, a discharged soldier, and accused of five different as laminations ; Beaux, alias Rouquet, a surgeon, n eared of the assassination of several Royal volunteers a their return from Nismes, and of poisoning one of them. The three last were executed. • el Garde; died with courage, firmness, resignation, ,and piety. He wished to march bare-footed to the seiffold. On ascending the fatal platform he turned to the people and said, .6 I am guilty, but led astray and made the victim of that wretch,' pointing to the 'lturgeon Pray to GOD for my soul, B,nd succour my unfortunate children.' Then, turning to the sol diers, he added, 4 Comrades, I sincerely wish that my nample may be useful to you, and prevent you from listening to the discourses of those miscreants, who wish only your death.' He then embraced his was sod his Contess.w, and having received the benedic• dons of the latter, he underwent his punishment. Bonney braved death with that audacity which the most hardened criminality alone can give. As to the Surgeon, Beaux, his death was calculated to inspire horror and affright. The terror of punish spent had so weakened him, that he was lifted in the '.can. He vociferated for mercy from the prison to the place of execution." _ •. Letters received from New York, dated the 2d ult. were received in town this morning. They state that the Ex-King of Spain, kW,' BUONAPARTE, was at Philadelphia, and had been joined there by a great number of French. Officers. It is strongly sus pected by well informed persons at New York. ac quainted with the above Parties, that some great ob ject is in view with regard to Spain. Our Readers will recollect that Jesuit was crowned King of Spain and t t l:e Indies, and it is said he has it in contempla tion to try his fortune with the Mexican Insurgents ; heis expected to join them with as many experienced French Officers as he can collect, and hoist the rode.' pendent Flag in South America, where hix presence would be a rallying point to the hiends of Liberty. Some of our contemporatics hive severely censured the inscription of BRITT. for BRITANNIARUM, on the new Silv:r Coins, contending, that it should be BRIT. with only one T. The two TT's are in fact perfectly classical, being agreeable to the practice of the ancient Romans, the only rule we have in this case. e' Etymology and quantity" are quite foreign to the question. The ancients doubled, or even tripled the last letter of the abbreviation when the word was plural. Thus they wrote C/ES. AUG.! for Cow .ifirportes, in the singular ; but CIESS. AUGG. in the &oral, when two were meant, and CESSS. AUGUG. was their contraction for three or more. As another example, take IMPPP. for latitnotortso The Journalists we allude to would probably have been more sparing of their leered criticism, had they recollected the common abbre viations LL.D. for Ltzona Doctor, with two LL's, because i'venn is plural; and the still more familiar MS. for Manucriftt, and MSS. for the plural, /cc. Yesterday Viscount SIDsIoUTII, Vial*lint CASTLE. MIAMI, and Mr. CANNING. had audiences of the Panics Ramer at Carlton Houle. • The Duke of YoRE, attended by Colonel Cook, his Aid-de•Camp, left York House yesterday afternoon, at five o'clock. for Brighton. The Princess Commorre is much recovered from her indisposition, but the wet weather prevents her from going out. Prince LeOPOLD is, we regret to bear, indispesed. The Duchess of CUSAIRRLANU is confined to her apartments in St. James's Palace, through indis position. A matrimonial treaty is said to be on the tapis be tween the Archduchess CAROLINE of AUSTRIA and the Hereditary Prince of Tuscmie. The Palace RSSINT visited Mr. and Mrs. Courts yesterday, at thefr beautiful villa, kioly-lodge; Highgate, and partook of a family dinner. Being extremely attached to this rural retreat, he did not' return till a late hour. The Royal Sovereign yacht has been thoroughly repaired at Deptford, for the pnrpnse of attending upon the PRINCE. RSGENT at. Brighton. Among the persons of distinction who dined yes terday with Mr. Aasoruwor, were the following : ;—Lord LIVERPOOL. laktfd CAIITLERRAGII, Lord BATH HURST, Hon. C. Loa% Lady CASTLRRIE tun, Sic. Count Cann:soya and Count Cilia's's+ visited Ox ford, Blenheim, and Stowe, this week. On Wednes.l day they attended the race ground, and, for the first time, whitened an English race. They appeared much delighted with the sport. Sir RonenT ‘VII.SON was walking with his friends during the whole of yesterday morning, at the west end of the town. His confinement does not seem to have injured his health.

Trade was excessively dull ; there were few or no arrivals froth America ; and this, with other Unfavourable circolt stances, made provisions scarce, and excised: as apprehension of a shortness of supply for the winter. The local occurrences to be found in the newspapers are of no great interest. The Eleanor, Catartatsor. from Waterford, arrived on the sth.

CORK, JULY 27.—Wednesday morning a party et twelve Dragoons, headed by Mr. HartuaN, Surveyor of Excise, accompanied by Messrs. Eraca.som and HARLY, Excise Officers, proceeded to the mountain of Gurrane Liagh, about four miles to the northwest of Inniskeane, with the intention to seize on a large Copper Still, which they found at full work. Up wards of 1000 gallons of put-ale were derroyed, and the still was got on earslor the purpose of having it conveyed to the Custorn.houre. The workmen, who had previously sought to defend the premises when first attacked, now rushed upon the military in great numbers. The Dragoons fired all their am., munition, without effect: at one time the Officers were surrounded by the mob. Three of the D-agoons were severely injured, being left by the assailants as they thought nearly dead—the remainder of the party' escaped, some with deep cuts and bruises, and more without their helmets, &c. The consequence was that the seirtne was ineffectual, as the country peo ple succeeded in rescuing the still, and Lear:.l it of in tumultuous triumph.
