Letters reached this place yesterday from Leg- }, o , a, stating, that a Danish blig, the Navigator, I.usn Master, bad arrived there on the 18th, after a passa ge of eight days, from Algiers. The Master reported, that the British Consul's family had suc ceeded in getting on board a British frigate which was cruizing off that place, but that the Consul him self was arrested he added, that the Algerincs were making preparations of defence." " GIBRALTAR, AUGUST 15. *, The Squadron Under the command of Admiral L o ra EXMOUTH, put to sea yesterday afternoon, with a fair wind; to which force an addition was made here of five gun-boat*, and the Dock•yatd supply boat was fitted up as an explosion vessel, and the Dutch squadron of six frigates. As the wind has continued very favourable, it may be expected they will have a quick passage up to Algiers. a By Jews who have come down from that place, I understand that about fourteen days ago, there was no apprehension entertained there of any attack from the British ; but that they were prepared for any attempt which the Dutch might make, and pursued the same posture of defence which they asstuned when Lord Exmouth was last there.— The English Consul was then well, but it is now greatly apprehended that he has not succeeded in getting away, as the l'aomartnos, which went up to receive him, has not returned, now 18 days absent. a Intelligence has been received by a boat from Tangier of an Algerine brig of war having put in there OD Sunday last, hating passed these Straits.— The SATELLITIC brig of war has been sent put to watch her." We have received the Paris Papers of Monday' : they contain a sprinkling of intelligence of same in icon. The King or Emperor of HAYTI has been beating up for white recruits, in other parts of Eu rope besides Great Britain. Some German adventu ras have taken shipping for St. Domingo, at Rini burgbi—The DEY of At tens has sent a splendid Embassy to Constantinople, accompanied by • some magnificent presents. All this is, of course, intended to secure the patronage of the PORTE in his present =harassments. We trust the British Minister at.' Constantinople will be alive to all these arts. PARIS, SEPTEMBER 2. This day the second perManent Council of War will try General Count de Laborde, whose name is contained in the Ordonnance of the 2ith July, and who is absent. COURIER LIETRAORDINARY 07 MONDAY MORNING. Yesterday Marshal Serrurier had the honour to .take the oath as Marshal before his Majesty, who delivered to him his baton with his own hands. Every day crowds of English-people arrive in Paris. The furnished hotels are scarcely sufficient to contain this influx of strangers. The Duke of Ang:iuleme, Lffected with the ravages lltely caused in the d:Tartmeot of the Izere, by the tiring way of several dykes, has sent a sum of ten tlwuaand francs, intended fur the relief of the victims tkis dreadful event. The departmental Legion of the Aube, which left Troyes, has arrived at Paris. Three other Legions are expected to supply the place of those which form the Garrison of Paris, and %bids will be directed qua various points. FRANKFORT, AUGUST VI. , For some time past the public papers have spoken of the emigration of the Hambnrghers for St. Do mingo : such rumours have offended the. inhabitants of this city, who have ne occ 4SIOII to go beyond sea t•, obtain a dishonourable living. All these rumours may be compriz...d in the following details : " A merchant of Hamburgh , found, some years ago, an opportunity of rendering au essential service to a negro of St. Domingo. who soon afterwards re turned to the colony. He preserved the recollection of the benefits which had been conferred upon him, and spoke with high eulogiums of the merchant to the Count of Marmalade, one of the Ministers to the Emperor of Hayti. " The Minister wrote a letter to the Hamburg's 4nerchant, to thank him for the interest which he had takes is the welfare of one of the stlbj:cts •f his Master ; and invited him, at the same time, to send .to St. Domingo a gardener who understood agricul we. The gardener set out, and received, indepen dently of the 250 piastres which had been promised him, a gratification of 750 piastres t this, of course, tnade a great noise among his class of persons. " A white man, who is in the service of the pre tended King of Hayti, arrived five or six weeks ago at Han:burgh. He addressed himself to the same Merchant, and he was the beater of letters from Count Marmalade and Count Leepi, calling himself Minis= of the Interior. 'Shoe letters' contained Brilliant offers for finch artists, minutazeurers, etaltiva'ioi Vie. as should,prciceed Vs the doilittioqs of his Black Ma jesty.

An Officer of the Hanseatic Legion allowed himself to be tempted by 4000 piastres of annual salary . .

The Marquis de •Riviere, the new French Ambas sador, had his first solemn audience of the Grand Seignior on the IGth. The ceremony was very fa tiguing to the Ambassador, for it lasted twelve hours complete. The Grand Sultan dictated the answer to his Grand Vizier, in which he expressed his satis faction at the restoration of the Bourbons. The Envoy hom Algiets had also his solemn au. dience of the Grand Vizier on the 221 He is not of the rank which entitles him to see the Grand Seig. nior himself. The value of the presents which he brought is estimatedat 3,000 ptirses( I 5;),000 piastres).' The escort en rusted with these resents was com posed partly of individuals attached to the arsenal, and partly of the Envoy's servants, babied in fish gold stuffs, according to the custom of Algiers.— These presents consisted of a great number of Moor ish slaves of both sexes; three beautiful Arabian ,bones, the saddles and bridles of which were richly decorated with gold and fine stones ; several fire [arms, decorated with gold and coral; a solitaire and brilliants, and a rich snuff-box, which were carried in a silver platter, with str.teral necklaces, &c. A Sicilian Paps contains a long anef well written article upon the two ponies that exist in Sicily—one of which is for preserving and improving the new Con. siltation of 1812, framed oaths our auspices; and the other for restoring the old system of Government-- The latter are said to have sent Missionariec intp the interior, far the purpose.ot oistaining Petitions in favour of this restoration.

BARTHOLOMEW FAIR. --Yesterday the revels of Bartholomew Fair continued with undiminished eclat. At night the Loan MAYOR attended the Fair, still anxious to see obedience paid to his orders, viz. to shut up public houses at twelve o'clock, went round and *SAW the various parties quit their drinking, sing. lig, and dancing. Having entered one of the cele. brated ball rooms in the Fair, contrary to the with of the Master of the Ceretrionis, a stop was instantly put to the dance. A City.Vestris and his Angicilina, wl; were. on the point of leading off—" I love my ain Abu, deary 0I" felt much chi tpvintment in con sequence of the visit. The Lady, in particular, refused to give up th'e dance, but the constables soon informed her, that the tune was-6 , (yr she sou," and the fair figurante was compelled to promenade down the stairs, exclaiming to one of the trusty staff officers, 44 Go.to the devil and shake your.. se/f." The Temple of Terpsichore afterwards be. came the Field of gars, and, in short, a general row ensued, but the regular 'forces soon gained a victory. The insurgents were routed, and peace produced mid night silence. The Fair this year is uncommonly splendid; but the only novelty is a peculiar display of economy which Richardson has resorted to, in order to conform to the pressure of the times. It seems he has discharged his numerous company of full-grown, . fat, and lazy potentates, clowns, and banditti, to em ploy about a dozen lads, not more than 16 years of age. They are well dressed's-la:hire, and go through the evolutions of tumbling, grinning, and jumping, tolerably well. • Kisumu Housit....Yesterday a number of light fingered gentry, who mix in the aboveannualcarpival, were brought up by different City officers, charged with attempting to commit depredations upon the unwary crowd that had assembled to witness the fair. Nine of these notorious characters, but against whom no specific charge could be brought home, were remanded until Saturday next, preventing thereby their future malpractices during the motley scene. Two indisiduals, however, named Foy and Philfite, were fully committed to Newgate for friar, charged with the oshal offouce of picking poclietzb alkali MAILS Asa. Poe. Atz. Dot.

Fins.--About three o'clock, on Tuesday morning, a fire was discovered in one of the large new built houses in Ilecklenburgh-square. near the Foundling Hospital, whichiin a few minutes, raged with great fury ? Several engines arrived•in a short time, st high being well supplied with water, fortunately. prevented the fire from communicating to the adjoining houses, but the whole of the house where the fire broke out, and which was fitted up in the.most superb manner, fell a prey to the flames. The house was let, and the tenant was - to have removed in yesterday. How the fire-originated is unknown.

On the 23d ultimo, a until field of gond barley WAS cut in the parish of Colessie, in Fife, and imme. diately sold at 255. per boll.—Same day. J Nixon, of Hetherside, in the parish pt K'rklinton, cut a quantity of barley, of escellent quality: and has a good deal more nearly ready.—Barley hariest cont. menced in the neighbourhood of Inverness on Thurs. Jay, ton the farm of Mr. A. Bain. Barley harvest also commenced at Forres about a tortnight since, and is now pretty general. A tine field of barley, consisting of abut four acres, was begun to be cut down on' Wednesday se'nnight, by Mr. John Speirs, Hawk: head Mains, near Paisley. • Avoust 29.—We understand a small'plot of barley was cut clown at Prestwick about twelve dsys ago. Another was cut down at Cunning Parks in this neighbourhood, end of last week. Barley harvest also began at Greenfield, in this parish, and at Aransow, parish of Kirkmichael, on Wednesdays We also learn from Stevenson, that a small field of barley* was cut there on Friday the 23d, being part of the glebe, and that it was quite well filled and fully ripe. Mr. James Caldwell, in Milton. parish of &ritual - flock, has begun his barley harvest. A very tine fid..l of barley was began to be cut on Monday by that intelligent tatmer, and should the weather continue favourable, his b.=riey harvest will be over in a few days. The crops are particularly ahandank but fully a fortnight later than the preced• ing year. T'.?. harvest still proceeds very slowly in S if folk, from the fickleness of the weather. On Sl torday night and Sunday last there was a tremen dous gale, with a heavy fall of rain, by which many trees were shattered, and the corn, in general, :titre. red much, by being nearly all levelled to the ground, - more particularly the wheat and oats : there is, hosvi. ever, a great abundance in quantity, though the agricultural produce will be very defective. The prospect of a favourable harvest, of which the fair weather of great part of last week had afforded a cheering hope, in Kent, was on Friday night clouded by one of the mcst violent Storms of wind and rain, continued with little intermission till Monday morn. ing, that has occurred at this period of the year within recollection. Its effects, independent of the tearing - up and breaking of trees, have been to strew the shocks of corn on the ground, where cut and ready ro be carried, and still more to injtue that which was already lodged : to the hops in this vicinity, which were just bursting forth in many grounds, promising a crop, the destruction, by the levelling of the poles, and consequent injury to the plant, has nearly equalled any similar disaster ; and in the orchards and gardens the far greater poition of the fruit has been stripped from the trees. • Extract of a letter from Devonshire, dated Sept. °I. " We have had some very fine weather, Which has .changed the face of the crops, and nivel) them a pro inising appearance. The barley is very tine, gene, rally. 'fix wheat rather slight. The harvest has just begun. The next week will be a very active one with the farmers here—for the lateness of the season has crowdcd their labour into little space, and brought the early and late crops together. The pilchard see. son has commenced auspiciously, 9000 hogsheads have been taken at Mevagezy, about 2000 in Mounts Bay, about a thousand at Cawsand, and • the like quantity at LQoe. The winds have prevailed so much to the north-west, often violent, that the pilchards have all come into the South Channels : at St. Ives, nut a fish has been caught, though the outfit is so large.... P.S. Sept. 2.-1 am sorry to say, the weather to-day is more like December than harvest time, the wind has got into its old quarter, the north-west, with cold and frequent showers." There was a fall of snovr at Brighton on Sunday ; and .a letter from Bangor, dated the 2d, says---“ We have•now snow lying on our mountains." SCROG9II43 AND HALL. —The Sporting World have experienced a second disappointment between the above pugilistic heroes. The fight at present is off altogether—the hacker r f Sciogeins (a gentleman who, upon all former *lions, had **Were,' him every support) having foe inted his depo.it of £lO on last Tuesday night, by not making his appear. ance. This circumstance is considered. the more singular among the amateurs. two to one having been the general wagers upon Scroggins4 The latter boxer wished the stakes to have teen made for g(X) guineas aside, and in the event of his backer coning forward, he proposed putting down etloo upon himself.
