This forenoon intelligence reached town which we should regret to hear confirmed; it states that the Ashan tees have made an itruption on our settlement, on the Gold Coast, and defeated our troops at Accra in an engagement, in which Sir CHARLbS M'CARTUY is stated to have been severely wounded, and several of ' his Officers killed. The following are the particulars, as contained in a letter received this morning in town, by an eminent mercantile house. The news came by ay of Barba does, and though the rct►te may appear a very cir cuitous one, there is, we fear, every guarantee for its authenticity. It was brought tt4 liarbadoes by die b►ig Elizabeth, Captain ELIiNLY • ACCRA, JANUARY :so. " It is with the greatest concern that I have to inform you, that the alshantets have made an attack upon Sir Clarks 111 6 Garthy's division of the army, upon the Gold Coast, aad completely routed it, most of the Officers killed, and Sir Charles himself wounded in two places, during the action, and now missing. They cantle down 13,000 strong ; Sir Chailes's division was not more than one-third of that number. The battle was fouLht on the 21st iii4tant, near Sicotidee, and lasted from 2 P.M. until 6 P.M. when Sir Charles having expended all hi. ammunition was surrounded, and his my complltely routed. The Ashanti:es, however, sustained a great lois, and it is not known where they are gone tn. " There were fourteen Oificers with Sir Charles when the action commenced, and only one, a Lieutenant Erskine, escaped to tell the tale of woe. 0 Among the slain are some of the principal and oldest mer chants at Cape Coast; those that I have h:ard named are George Rabertson, James Headle, Edwin Jones, and Mr. Tedley, the St.ff Surgeon, killed; Captain L. Lestrange died of fatioe ; Major Rickets severely wounded; many others that I do not knew tke names of, killed ; and many wounded and missing. They were expecting an attack at Cape Coast, by the latest intelligence, and ti. y had actually sent down a vessel to get 7000 stand of arms, ulakli it was reported at Cape Coast that I had here." Tie Austrian Observer to the 17th ult. and Frank fort Papers to the 24th reached us this forenoon, hum winch we make the following extracts: NAPLES, APRIL 8. Our Government had announced its intention to raise tl:e duty on oil exported in foreign vessels, but in consi des ation of the distre , sed state of the country people, it has not only desisted from this ihtention, but has even lowered the duties; perhaps it may have been partly imiuccd by the apprehension of an inctewe of the im port duty on oil in France, Marseilles being our chief xr arket. new loan to a small amount has been con- I.: acted for Sicily ; it is said to be fcr 1;0,000 ounces, .ich M. 11: , thschild has taken 0:1 hi :n, unk!er the name it is affirmed of Falconet and Co. The con:idels ate not known, but it is believed that the grovernmeta does not ray more than 5 per cent. interest, per annum. After a long co-‘-'quance of lain we were surprised, on the morning cf the Ist of April, to see Vesuvius crowned with snow, a circumstance cite emely rare here, especially at this season of the year. .AL:C;SBURG, APRIL Letters from St:es cf the `2oth March, say, that thc Divan has resolved to send tl:e grandson of the Luau's. Ali Paella (i.ow about 20 years of age) to Juannina. here he is vappsed still to have partisans. But ever: -should this trews Le continued, it is most probable *the Albanians and Greeks would not be inclined to put much corifl:!eace in him. Since this young m.in era cal tied off by violence, after the murder of his grand fuller, the state of affairs in that country has undergone (no great a change for the Porte to derive any a.i vantage from this n , c 4 Alle. Jr is said that the artful Vasaik,i, vidow of Ali P..cha, by whom he is surposed to have t a f;ein bctraycd, wi:l;:c.:crnpany the grandson. Aitoamia i. te.id, ..1 Nt 4 l - lia, 0 1 t h e 44th of March, to be a scene of confusion and disorder. The Turks, part of whom obey the Pacha of Scutari, and part the inferior Bays, carry on an inveterate war with each other, of which advantage is taken by the Christian Albanians, who are in alliance with the Greeks. The cause of these dissentions seems to be, that the Beys have refused to furnish their contingent to the Pacha of Scutari, who is supposed to be in dis grace with the Porte, on account of his unsuccessful expedition against Missolonghi lait year; and it is ge nerally believed by the Tut ks, that the Porte only waits a fair op pot tunity to remove him, or to put him to death. We have received from Paris the Etoile, dated Thurs day last, with a letter cram our Correspondent, written on Wednesday evening, from which it appears that the debate. in the Chamber of Deputies on the general question relative to the reduction of the five per cents. was closed on Wednesday. It would be put to the vote on the following day, and there was no doubt but it would be carried by a large majority. The French Funds were improving on Wednesday. PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE. pAnn, 28rii Amu., Six OTi.ocic, P.M. The discussions relative to lowering the interest of the funds run high. Government says, " I created 100 francs o rentes at five rer ceiu,. and very frequently get only for my 1001. 32i. 561 . . 601. and set on to 59f. I am now in better circumstances; my crelt is panly established ; and I can pay oil' my d'2l3ts at -par.— I give you 100 f. for the 52f. I roceivei, and• you ale dissatisfied, though I only am the loser ; but, say you, wl‘at shall we do with our money ? If you cannot employ it better, I will take it at a lesser rata of interest. If you do not like this, employ it in commerce, or lay it out in building, or in mortgages. If I want money, I can have it at a less rate than five per cent. and though it is my duty to go to the cheapest market, yet I give you the preference." These are plain and simple facts, which must strike every one. The measure, however, is more important in an indirect point of view than in a direct one. The low rate of interest will lessen the fever of Stockjobbing—it will induce many to employ their funds in commercial speculations, which have hitherto been employed in gambling on 'Change : for the stagnation of commerce, comparatively to what might be expected, arose from the large interests paid by the public funds : for no one would risk his fortune. in commerce, when the funds possessed equal or superior' advantages without any risk. Dissentions are stated to exist in the Ministry as to the measure ; but this is mere report. An event, which perhaps is not far distant, unites all the Ministers with the President, for they all wish to be in place, not only now, but when it may happen, and they know that cannot be if they do not support the measures of the Minister of Finance. We have received Madrid papers to the 22d olApril,l which contains a few unimportant official documents l and details respecting the visit made to Toledo by FER DINAND, the Redeemed (El Rescatado), as we find he is now sometimes called in the addresses of his loving -. , ...:bjects. His MAJESTY, the Royal Family, and the Foreign Ambassadors, who followed the Court from Madrid, were constantly occupied during the Easter week in the performance of religious ceremonies. They' 41su visited a convent of Bernardine Monks, near To ledo, where they paid their adorations to the body of St. Rai mond, the founder of the order of Calatrava.—. The P..per of the 21st contains a Royal o:der, requiring o(II,:ers who have served in the Constitutional armies to remove to a distance greater than that of a radius of ten leagues from Madrid. This order is made on a re presentation of the Superintendant General of Police, staling that many officers of that description enter the city under various pretexts—that the time of the police is occupied in looking after them—and that their pre sence gives rise to not a little displeasure and strife. In the same Paper there is a notice that Mass would be said on the 22d to the Members of the Military Com mission, as a preliminary to the trial of Leon Vargas, accused of having spoken seditious words against the Majesty of the KING ! Intelligence has been received of the arrival in the Downs of the Eagle, a South Sea whaler, which vessel is known to have sailed from Rio de Janeiro some days after the Courier, but no letters by her have reached town. Letters, however, from Rio of the 25th February, are quite silent on the subject of the French fleet which was stated to be hi that harbour, which goes far to prove that the repo; is have been grossly exaggerated. Had that feeling prevailed among the British residents which was announced, it is quite impossible that it should not have been alluded to in those letters ; but though several of the principal Brazil houses in London Lave received advices of the same date, and by the same ecnvcyatice, they do not allude to the circumstance in question in the slightest degree. So far from the Eta i:::Vi;ig disbanded any troops, he was making L ; reat exertions to augment his force, which prevented the .:eaters from the interior and adjacent parts coming to the capital to make their usual purchases, from an appithein:Lii of being subject to military duty. This is intntitmed in the letters, as one reason why trade was in such a deploiable state. lc is very probabl.: that some French ships of war had artised (their number has no doubt been designedly much es:tgzcritted) ; but there is nothing either unna tural or unprecedented for the French Govei n• meat has lu g ci.nstantly ships of war on the *several points the Sou.h American station, they would of course 'Dave lc he relieved from time to time ; and Rio is the point of rendezvous for them as well as for our own vessel,. A rrtrchant lately returned to this cOuLtry says that this Whi irequently the ca.e whii;t was there, and in one instance some of the ships of war came from Martinique, an indirect course, which the paragraphs above alluded to would represent,as very suspicious ! A merican Papers art iced this morning to the 9th April. FROM THE NEW YORK G zErrE OF THE sTil. Letters from Cal thagena state, that an expedition of four brigs and seven schooners was fitting out there, to be commanded by Gutra, against Torquia de Omoa, and that the Government of Carthagena bad furnished 2,000 men to pillage Omoa (doubted). APRIL I.—Tariff 11111—Mr. Rankin concluded his speech on the general principles of the 1311. Mr. Webster began his speech, and continued until three o'clock, when he moved for Ole Committee to rise —carried, and the House adjourned. Letters have arrived in town from Caraccas, of the 13th March, which state that all was tranquil there at that time. We are authorised to state that the rumour of eight French frigates having appeared at Rio Janeiro, is quite false. Ther.: were only there there at the dare of the latest accounts, and one of there was sup posed to have entered the port merely for refreshment on her way to the Pacitic.—.llotiling Parer. THE KING. WINDSOR, APRIL. 9. We feel great pleasure in stating that his llA.:L.Vtli . 3hedlth is still further improved .since yesterday; and we have no doubt but he will very soon be able to tal:e h!s usual healthful rid,n. Yesterday, in honour of his MAJESTY'S Birth-day, there was a Public Dinner at the swan Inn, Win , ?...or, when between eighty and ninety of the most tespectal:le inhabitants of the :own and Eton met together on zne ucta‘ion. Mr. TnutAs JESiaNCS in the Chair. On the cloth being removed the Chairman rose ansl propose the health of his. present MAJESTY; with four times four, which was drank With reiterated' bursts of appliose, and was followed by the popular Anthem of, GoD save the King by three Gentlemen Amateurs, the Company joining chorus. All the other branches of the Royal Family were, given with great applause; several Gentlemen addressed the Meeting in loyal and patriotic speeches, and the , whole afforded a most gratifying treat. THE UNION CLUB-HOUSE. Yesterday the Committee, to the number of twenty-four, dined together, preparatory to the grand opening of the house, which is to take place on Monday evening, at eight o'clock, when it is understood that all the rooms will be brilliantly lighted up, and thrown open for the reception of th► Members ; and if (as was the case at the openinl of the University Club) Ladies should have the curiosity to see this splendid establishment, - .• - e may an ticipate one of the most brilliant and fashionable assemblies of the sea son. There is certainly no other house in London which can open such a suite of apartments. The Club itself consists of a thousand Noblemen and Gentlemen, a great proportion of whom are Peers and Members of Parliament. Yesterday the Duke of CLARENCE and the Princess AUGUSTA honoured the Exhibition of the Arts at the Royal Aca demy, Somerset House, with a private view, previous to its open ing for the public inspection, Their Royal Highnesses were re ceived by Sir THOMAS LAWRINCT, the President of the Royal Aca demy, and Mr. HOWARD, the ,Secretary, who conducted the Royal Duke and the Princess through the different rooms, during which they appeared highly gratified with the different branches of the Arts. Prince LEOPOLD arrived in town yesterday afternoon, from Claremont. Yesterday the Duke and Duchess of CLARENCE dined with the Princess AUGUSTA.

HENRY CLIME, Esq. M.P. has arrived at his house in New -street, Spring gardens, from his seat in Berks. The lion. Mr. and Miss MEADE have arrived in Lower Berkeley -street, from Northamptonshire. The remains of the Marquis of LOTHIAN are to be removed on Monday from Richmond, for interment in the family vault in Scotland. The yacht intended for the reception of his Royal Highness the Duke of Cr A ItltNet is fitting at Deptford with all pos sible expedition, and we tinierstand that she is to be got reads. by the first week in May. No other yachts are yet spoken nf, as being likely to accompany his Royal Highness on his summer cruize. It is very generally repotted, in the most fashionable circles, that Lord P has made an offer of his hand to a widow Lady of immense fortune, residing not 1,000 miles from Piccadilly, and that his offer has been accepted. This morning the remains of our venerable Diocesan were removed in funeral state for interment at Wells.—Bath Herald. A Gentleman who rented an extensive track of land in the county of Limerick, without a clause of surrender, a few days ago gave to the landlord the extensive aunt of X12.,000, to discon tinue hint as lessee. Monday his Grace the Duke of WELLINGTON dined and slept at the Bear Inn, Wocdstock. Tuesday he viewed the house and pleasure grounds at flknlieim, whence he proce:ded to the Star Inn, Oxford, where his Grace changed horses on hip road to London. Sir IiTAI4 MARTIN, Comptroller of ti.- Navy, and Sir H. Screitios, arrived at the Crown Inn, Rochester, on Monday, from Sheerness, after inspecting the dock-yard at that place. They have since inspected the dock-yard at Chatham. Mr. LEIGH HUNT says, in his "Indicator,"that nest Wednesday, May 5, is the birth-day of SIIAKSPEA RE. We should imagine that one of his Hays will be given at both Theatres on that night. It is singular that CERVANTES and SHAKSPEARE should have both died on the same day. PARIS, APRIL 28.—Sentence was to.day pronounced by the Correctional Tribunal, in the affair of the twO Journals appearing tinder the title of the Pilot. M.

In the morning the children were examined ; and in the afternoon his Royal Highness the Duke of YORK was graciously pleased to take the Chair, at a dinner of the friends of the Charity, at the City of London Tavern. His ltoy4l Highness arrived punctually at six in the afternoon, and seemed highly gratified at the statements made of the progress of the children. BOW. STREET -THIS DA Y NI ISCONDUCT OF WATCHMEN. Patrick nun. a well-known character, was brought up o n z charge of as:iault, but the complainatjt v who resided itt wax net in attendance. Mr. Bartlett, the watch-house-keeper, said, at the werh-holrie, last night, the watchman, Pomeroy, said the prisoner alto str_ ;L k him. In fict he was a desperate character. Mr. lisus (to the watchman).—Did he strike you? Pomeroy.—Why, Sir, he pushed me down. Mr. do you call that ? Mr. Bartlett again stepped forward. Ile had to complain to !:.is Worship that a system very generally predominated amonr;! t y, watchmen which ought to be put down. They were, and he not mean to confine himself to one or two, in the habit of m,.ka: i out a strong charge at the watch-house, which of course caused rcilon to be detained. However, when they came befor e th e Magistrate the next day, they forgot sometimes the chief par: of the former story, and very rarely told the same tale. Ile had n on seen the parties whispering together, and he felt no clout): ther , Vas some substruWa! reason for the watchmen not being so rea.'..l to cit.irge the prisoner. Mr. flat ts deprecated the system complained of, and directed that the evidence should always be written down elactly as it w ;:i given at the watch-h 'use ; and then, if the watchmen though: 5: to apt in the manner complained of, the 3ligistratei knew huts !a act with them. Thr rrlioner having been searched, and nothing found on him, was discharged. UNIVERSITY and CLETUC.IL LVM.LIGENCF, CAMBRIDGE, APRIL 7,0. Tticsday morning, the Hon. and Right Rev. Henry Ryder, D.P.

IMPROVISATORE.—An Improvisatore, of the name of Sgricci, is producing a great sensation at Paris. Ile gave his second exhibition in a public theatre on Mon day. He was to deliver a trag'dy impromptu. The audience was so earnest in insuring perfect fairness, that they would not intrust the choice of subjects even to a most respectable committee of men eminent in literature and art. The titles were read over to them, and they rejected many, and left others undisturbed, with that sort of capriciousness and irregularity which must ever prevail in a numerous and mixed assembly. They were, however, particularly careful in rejectiev , objects which had been already treated by celebrated authors. At length the papers were all placed in an urn, and one wets drawn out by a lady in a side box, at the request of the pit. It proved to have inscribed on it " Charles 1." This WOS received irh oniver , al applause, as no one for a moment supposed it prmsitle that 31. Sgricci could be prepared for this annouhce• meat. The curtain rose, and he appeared in a state 01 great em,:tion. Ile stated that the pervmages of his drama would be—Charles 1. King of England ; Urn , rietta, his wife; Cromwell, absent, and daily expected to return from the army ; Ireton, a parti , au of Crom well, a subordinate fanatic; Douglas, friend of the . King, devoted to Jris master ; Eliza, an attendant of the Qeeen; the " e.,ident" of the Parliament ; and Ugo, leader of the popular faction, with a chorus or ladies of tlr. Qaeerfs suite, Aid a Cher us of tire Fop% and the factienF. This explanation was much ni l:le:tided, espejally when M. Sttriezi said, " The Kirle' will be s;:cicry Catholic." Ile found serious tlicult; in giving mune, to the inilnior agents which would sin: the measure of Es verse; but, this impediment over come, he compce,cd without interruption tor an iron: and three quarter..
