°lron belonging to them proceeded from San Ilorga ro the city.of the Assumption, where they were ad. mined by the Governor Vehsco to a secret confe retwe, which continued several days, and at which the Assessor and Ministers of State assisted.— The result of this Council was, that the Governor presented himself in the different Courts, attended by the two Portuguese Officers, with an escort of Hus rat s, who were substituted for the native Paraguayan Guard that had been suddenly dismissed. Under nese circumstances, the arrangement was publicly rad, into which he had entered as Protector of the Province, by which the Lady Infanta Donna Carlota was acknowledged Regent and Heiress of King Fer dinand the 7th. It was discovered that the paper containing the vote of thd Magistrate D. ,F. Ricaldo was missing, and it was ascertained that his vote was contrary to the wishes of the Governor. Such a line of conduct, although familiar in an earlier state of things, was so directly opposed to the hopes, wishes,and determination of the people, that it produced a popular commotion, and Velasco was obliged to have recourse to military protection." The discontents of the inhabitants of the city of Assumption were so general, that decisive measures were immediately adopted—the Governor was for mallydeposed, and a new Junta was regularly installed, composed of the following respectable characters : D. Juan Manuel Cavannes, Capt. Cavallero, D. Joan IVanijel Gamarra ; and •as Secretaries, R. P. F. Fer uando Cavallero and Dr. Francia. FA. EVENING STALL. LQNDON. MONDAY; SEPTEMBER 2. •Flat or LONDON.—Holidip at the Stock Exchange. Last night'. rvo Anholt Mails arrived. Our cruisers in the Baltic have made some Swedish captures. A British convoy of 200 sail arrived between Longland and Sprogoe on the 7th inst. and immediately pro ceeded to the Northward. With respect to the war between Russia and Turkey, very little is now said. The Russians were said to be on the point of evacuat ing Belgrade. In confirmation of the increasing good understand ing between Great Britain and Russia, a letter from Memel cites the orders which had been received at Revel from St. Petersburgk, directing the release of thirty-six vessels, which, with their cargoes, (most part linglisl/ goods) had been under sequestration in that port. The brig Roman) has arrived in the River from Corunna, in eight days. 13y this vessel we have re. ceivtd the fullowing communication from Oporto, which seems to contain the latest intelligence from our army in Portugal : OPORTO, AUGUST 17. Part of our army is round Pinhel, and it is said Pack's brigade has passed Almuda, and is to remain in front of Ciudad Rodrigo, of which fortress the French have changed the garrison. • The stores are all gone from hence by water, and the men, about 200 in number, went yesterday. The army of Gallicia was in motion about a fortnight , ago, but is said to have halted again. We do not hear of any troop. having entered Spain, though it was reported at Corunna that some had. In conse quence of the movement of our army, trade is very brisk here, but report states, that the greater part of the provisions will be sent up the Mendigo. Colonel Tr. , nr, who has been at Lisbon for some days, will be here to•mc.rrow. By the extracts from the American Pagers to the 4th ultimo, which will be found in another part of onr Paper, it will be seen that Congress will meet earliei than usual this year; which implies that no negociation will be concluded with this country until Congress can be consulted. The following is an extract from a private letter : K• NEW YORK. AUGUST 4. " The taisdon of Mr. Furst, (like that of Rosa, Easum and Licason,) has failed. The American Government and be have split upon the ne;lin and Milan beams, the latter deman ding u hat It was impossible the former could require of France, viz. that British goods as well as American should be admitted into the Continent in American vessels. " Congress has hs consequence been summoned by the Prue dent, with advice, for the purpose of adopting some measures.— The Ministers have all gone to their country seats. " The general sentiment here, and particularly at Washington, is warlike." , The subsequent is the official statement published in the Natiagal Ink/lige:Jur, of the regulations made by France respecting American Commerce : " American vessels coming from the United States and laden with the pr:duce of the United States, wel be admitted and re c.:teed la all the ports Of France, on payment of the legal duties, There cargoes must be accompanied with certificates of origin delivered by the Wends Consuls, and the vessels must in return take equal value in French wines, silk*, and other manufactures certain fixed proportions. '• Tobacco is not grobibital, but that article, being under a foetal direction, it must on its arrival he deposited, and if quaninies.arrive than the direction can purchase, the through France to Germany and other European coon. srs,s, will be permitted. " sugar, coffee, cocoa, and other colonial produce, ate admit ted only in vessels having permission for that purpnse." The American Papers are still contradictory in re spect to the report of the capture of the Entrepenante Ly Atlante. Jamaica papers to the 21st July, have furnished us It some particulars from Mexico and Caraccas. In 'we beginning of June a dreadful battle took place be. teen the Government troops and the Revolutienists, in Mexico, in which the former were defeated I% ith irninenie loss. The Archbishop was straining every ma‘e to procure reinforcements to the loyal party. sod am Volunteers bad sailed from Campeachy, on board stun.' transports for Mexico. • THE KING.

In addition to the Catholic Meetings which have already taken place, we learn, that the Catholics of Waterford, Sligo, Kildare, Monaghan, and Down, are to meet in the course of this week. In the mean time, the following paragraph, which we copy from the Dublin Evening Herald of Friday last, shews that the Irish Government keeps a watchful eye over the tranquillity of the country : " We have jest heard, that P. W. Harvey, Pro prietor, M. Heery, Printer, and W. '!'illan, Publisher of the Freeman's Journal, have got notice to attend, at the Attorney-General's house, " and shew cause why an information, ex yficio, should not be granted against them, for publishing a libel in the Freeman's Journal of the Ist of August.' It is supposed it is for publishing the Catholic Debate and Resolutions on the Proclamation." We have received a letter from an officer at Cadiz, dated the Sth inst. It says, "There is nothing going on here at present ; but we expect, daily, that the French will attack our works at Isla de Leon. They have brought mortars into Fort Catalina, for the pur pose of annoying our shipping ; and the battery of Fort Napoleon throws shells every night among the Spanish gun-boats, which are close to Puntales. As the Ephera, Captain Eviataftn, was cruising off Rota, last week, a shot from the French battery fell on board her, and took off Capt. E's right arm ; he is, however, doing well. Lieutenant WEYMOUTH of the Revenge, has been put into the command of the Ephera, until Capt. E. is quite recovered. N We do not expect Admiral LEGGE, who is cruising between the Capes Trafalgar and Spartel, will return to this anchorage till next month. The Colun - bine, Captain WEsrPitat, took the Archbishop of TOLEDO and se veral Nobles to Tavira, a few days since. She has since sailed with a convoy fur Gibraltar. The De vastation bomb, Capt. TAYLOR, is expected to sail for England soon, she bring in a bad state. The French General commanding at St. Mary's is mak ing grand preparations for a ball, which is to be given on Bonaparte's birth-night (15th inst.) Remain here, Druid, Capt.

The Tortoise, which arrived at Portsmouth on Thursday front the Brazils, left Rio Janeiro on the 17th of June. Sir JAMES GAMBIER (lately British Consul there) and family, came passengers in her.— Sit JAMES brought dispatches of importance from the British Minister, Lord STRANGFORD. The Porcupine frigate, Captain Eworr, was the only ship at Rio ; she was to sail shortly for England, with some dia monds on board of great value. Admiral Ds Cooney, in the Foudroyante, had gone to Bova with the'Por tuguese ships Reine de Portugal and Martin de Fre tis, of 74 guns each. The Nereus, Captain P. Hall.. WOOD, was at Buenos Ayres protecting the trade, where she would shortly take on board two million dollars for England. Trade was not only very dull, but crippled by vexatious restrictions ; which had induced a number of Americans to run the hazard of smuggling their goods. The Tortoise has brought home a considerable quantity of specie for British merchants, besides Brazil-wood, tallow, and con demned stores. LieutenantsTosenviLLE and FULLER, of the Royal Navy, invalided, came home in her. The Tortoise brings no intelligence whatever con cerning the three French frigates, which sailed some time state for the Isle of France, and were stated to have made several captors on the coast of Brazil. The BELLE PouLE, Capt. C. ButssastE, which ar rived at Portsmouth on Thursday night, with 13 sail of transports from Malta and Gibraltar, left the former place on the Ist of July, and the latter on the Ist of August, with .50 sail of transports and merchantmen : some are gene to the British Channel, others went into the western ports, and the remainder (excepting the above 13 sail) .are gone to the Downs, protected by the LEONIDAS, Capt. J. A. GRIFFITIIS. The only ships lying at Malta were the Trident and Pomona ; and at Gibraltar, the St. Juan. The Belle Poule spoke the . Theban and her convoy for the East Indies, all well. The following is an extract of a letter, dated the 24th ult. from an Officer of one of our ships off Flush. ing In the Scheldt, before Flushing, a few days since, there were 15 ships of the line, one frigate, and nine brigs, all ready for sea ; and at Antwerp, three sail of the line under repair, nearly finished, with the addition of seven ships of the line oh the stocks, in great forwardness. Report 'says, there is much dis content prevailing in those ships, and that the sailors of the different nations do not agree ; how far this is true, I cannot say, but think it very probable. The Goree squadron, three ships of the line, after taking all their guns and stores out, were buoyed with empty water casks, and transported from thence to the Scheldt, over the flats, inside the islands. In this hazardous undertaking, the Royal Hollander, a new ship, built about two years since at Rotterdam, broke her back, and the other two received some damage. At the Texel, which we reconnoitred the last spring tides, there are flee line of battle ships and one frigate nearly ready for sea ; anti the Dutch fishermen in. form us, there are four others nearly ready to come down the Znyder-Zee." There are two transports at Portsmouth, having on board a number of male and female convicts, fur Bo tany /lg. A young Lady of great respectability and large fortune, attended by some female domestics, is going out with them, for the purpase of being married on their arrival at the settlement, to one of the above capvicts. THE COMET. TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR. Somers Town, September I, Put. Sir—The accounts which you have lately seen in the public papers of a Comet having been seen in its approach towards the sun, early in the Spring, by the French Astronomers, and of a prediction of its return from the sun in August, may have led you to expect some account of this phenomenon : 1 thereibre take this opportunity to inform you, that on Monday morn. ing last, August 26, as 1 was looking for the planet Venus, a little before the sun arose, I discovered this Comet; and which, from its situation and appearance, I have concluded might have been seen ten or fifteen days earlier had it been sought for. The morning from being very fine a little before, had now become cloudy and particularly about the part of the heavens where the Comet appeared, so that I had but a very transi. tory view of it. It appears in great splendour about three o'clock in the morning, and cannot fail to be seen by any person who looks at this time towards the north-east part of the horizon and about 10 degrees above it. I saw it this morning with my naked eye till twenty minutes past four o'clock, in very strong twilight, and have no doubt of its being visible during the day to persons provided with equatoral instru ments ; its appearance is a bright nucleus surrounded by a large coma without a tail. As the appearance of the Comet is so striking, it is unnecessary to give a more minute description than the above to any parson desirous of seeing and observing it. I am, &c. THOMAS PIRMmOER, Late Assistant Astronomer at the Royal Obser vatory, Greenwich. THE ARMY. Lieutenant BURKE, 45th regiment, of whom a de tail was some time back given in all the papers, has been sent home to this country by Lord WELLINGrozz. He arrived in the Leyden.

The Marengo is commanded by one Auvreau, a Frenchman, and is supposed to have been fitted out at St. Domingo. Previous to her falling in with the Coffee Planters, she had captured • 31 sail of vessels, among which Number were a British packet, bound from Curacoa to St. Thomas's ; and a Spanish packet brig, from Cadiz to Porto Rico-35 of whose crew, out of 40, were butchered by the pri vateer, after they had struck, for maintaining a run. ning fight.
