Intelligence had been received from Cape Coast about the middle of June, at which time affairs remained in the same state as wheu the last ad ♦ices left that place. The Walsingham packet has arrived from Buenos Ayres, which place she left on the 26th of June, and Monte Video on die 29th, but the letters have not been delivered. _____ Halifax Papers to the 10th ult. have reached us, but they are barren of intelligence. A smart shock of an earthquake was felt at New Brunswick, on the 9th of July, accompanied by a loud report similar to the dis charge of heavy ordnance. Harnbargh Papers to the Ist inst. have reached us, bat they contain nb political news whatever. This morning we received the Moniteur and Galig nant's Messenger of Saturday, and the Etoile of yester day, by Express, the French Papers of Thursday and Friday having previously reached us. The Moniteur does not contain a single official article, nor any intelli gence of interest, except a confirmation from Bucha rest of the news from Greece. The Capitan Pacha, it is said, has been totally defeated, and several of his small vessels had taken refuge at Enos. These Papers contain nothing respecting the health of the KING, who, however, was sufficiently well to give audiences to the Duke of BRUNSWICK and the Arch bishop of Rstwas, and to transact business on Friday and Saturday with M. de VICLELE. Viscount CIIA TICAURRIAND has returned to Paris from Switzerland. The French squadron, under the command of Admiral DUPERRE, is expected at Brest on the 15th, where it will be dismantled. Some of our contemporaries had destined this squadron fur South America, but we al ways cautioned our Readers against such ridiculous alarms, and stated, that there was no reason to doubt that the object of the squadron sailing was what the French stated—to perform naval evolutions. The Moniteur quotes from the Frankfort Gazette the consent of the different Governments comprising the Germanic Confederation to the measures proposed by Austria against the liberty of the press, the rights of the Universities, and the publicity of political discus sions. Even Bavaria, Wurtcmburg, and the other States which have obtained Representative Assemblies, have given their reluctant adhe ion to the latter article, which cuts off the constituent bodies of these kingdoms from all knowledge of what their deputies are doing in their name. During the celebration of the KiNc's Birth-day at Perpignan, by a dinner given to the sth Regiment of the Line, some of the soldiers, more enthusiastic than the rest, discharged their muskets in the air; and being loaded with ball cartridges, two persons were killed, and another dangerously wounded. '['he following extracts are from Galignani's Messenger of Saturday. STOCK EXCHANGE, SEPTEMBER 3, FIVE o'CcocK.— The market has been extremely dull to-day, and the pi ire of stock has again given way. The five per cents. for money, closed at 101 f. 15c. After the parquet closed, they were 101 f. 6.1 e. The frigate I.a Circe, and the corvette La Moselle, sailed from Brest on the '2lst ult. the former for Cadiz, , and the latter for Valparaiso. A letter from Brest says, " We expect on the 15th of September,Vice- Admiral Duper re's division, which, after rhyme evolutions, will come to cur port to dismantle." The Augsburg Gazette contains the following, of the 19th ultimo, from Odesssa According to advices . from Constantinople of July 30, it appears that the Captain Paella, having endeavoured to quit the road stead of Mitylene, WAS pursued by the Greek fire-ships, which destroyed several of his large vessels; he .was compelled to take refuge in the Gulph of Smyrna.— Another division of the fleet, which had also been treated roughly, repaired hastily between Samos and Ipsara." Brussels and Dutch Papers to ►he 4th inst. reached us this forenoon. They contain the Turkish accouut of Ai • . . he capture of Ipsara, and another version of its recap ture by the Greeks. The following are extracts : FRANKFORT, AUGUST 29. The trophies which the Capitals Pacha sent to Con stantinople, on the taking of Ipsara, consisted of 500 heads, 1,200 ears, and 33 standards. The first were as usual at the • of the ' olio, with the exposed _ gate Serag following ofta, or bulletin : " The Greeks of various islands of the White Sea (Archipelago), who have been for some years in a state of rebellion, had not yet felt the avenging arm of the Mussulmans. They had succeeded in fortifying them selves; and depending on their false religion, boasted of their power. Whenever they obtained advantages over the Mussulmans, they did not fail to manifest their wished object, and all their perfidy. Meantime it was resolved, as the sacred law commands, to chastise, with GOD'S assistance, the infidels who are rejected by him. —ln consequence of this resolution, the fortunate Khosreu Mehmed Pacha has struck the first blow on the island of Ipsara. After all his Janissaries and Ser. mens had landed on the island, the nest of the infidels, who concealed themselves behind their batteries, de fended by numerous cannon, the former advanced sword in hand, and attacked them man to man. These brave men fought with the greatest intrepidity, and their arms triumphed by GOD'S assistance. The infi dels, seized with terror, were cut to pieces. The con. quest of the island required a combat of 36 hours. The infidel Arnauts, whom the rebels had called to their aid, were all put to the sword—they have thus felt the supe riority of the Mussulmans. Ten Captains and 500 men are made prisoners; 110 ships, and above 100 cannon, are in our hands; in short, by the favour of the AL MIGHTY, Ipsara is conquered. Above 500 heads of the infidels, 1,200 ears, and 33 standards, have been sent to the Porte, and cast with indignity on the ground." AUGSBURG, AUGUST 48. An Express, dispatched from Constantinople by the Austrian Internuncio, Baron Ottenfels, has brought to the Office of Foreign Affairs at Vienna, dispatches, the contents of which have not transpired; but commercial letters from Pera, which arrived almost at the same time as the Express, have brought pretty circumstan tial details of the retaking of Ipsara, and the loss which the Turks suffered of all the gun-boats and transports which they had collected in the principal part of the island. These letters relate also circumstances imper fectly known relative to what took place after the re capture of Ipsara between the Greek squadrons and the Captain Pacha's fleet. The Greeks, who had collected a considerable nem• ber of ships of war, approached so near the Turkish vessels, that they kept them in a manner blockaded. The Captain Pacha then ordered an attack; at first he seemed to obtain some success, but during the action, the Greeks, by means of their fire-ships, succeeded in setting fire to several frigates and brigs, which threw the Ottoman squadron into great confusion, and ten dered the advantages which the Admiral's ship had gained at the beginning of the action of no great avail.' In the end, the Turks, after losing five frigates or cor vettesi were obliged to resume their station off Mitylene, whence they were preparing to sail for the coast of Asia Minor. All these news have excited a disagreeable sensation at Constantinople, and at the departure of the last courier, it was reported in that capital, that the Captain was deprived of his comniand, and that several of his principal Officers had like Wise incurred the displeasure of the Sultan. We learn, by a letter from Corfu, dated the Ist ult. that two of the:piratical cruizers, by whose depredations various vessels had suffered along that coast, had been captured and carried in there. It was also reported at Corfu, that others of them had been taken, and brought into Zante. From these captures, and the measures that had been taken to put an end to such piratical de predations, it was expected that no further annoyance would be offered to the trade of those parts for some time to come. Although we are without any positive confirmation of the report we gave on Saturday; on the authority of a letter said to have been received in the City, that Por tugal had determined on recognizing the independence of Brazil, yet there are circumstances which render the event probable. It is known that England and Austria have exerted their friendly offices towards the settle- I ment of this national question. The Commissioners of the two States more directly interested have made such considerable progress in their task, that the preliminary conferences were terminated above three weeks ago, and a basis for the recognition of the independence of Brazil being agreed upon by these negotiators, was about that time transmitted to Lisbon for the KING'S approval. The project thus framed is said to have been accom panied by the strongest testimonies of Mr. Secretary CANNING'S approbation, and by others no less unequi vocal from Prince ESTERHAZY on the part of the Aus trian Government. Those who pretend to be well in formed, but whose authority, from the deep interest they feel in the question, may possibly render their judg ment of so much less weight, think that King JOHN will accept the proposals submitted to him; and a col lateral fact of some (though not very definite) import ance is, that the contract for additional transports, to aid, as was supposed, the expedition to Brazil, has been abandoned by the Court of Lisbon. It is also known,which is a fact of much greater importance, that the Portuguese Government, at the distinct re quest of the Brazilian Commissioners, has set at liberty about 150 Brazilian prisoners, who were confined in the Castle of St. Julian; and who sailed on the 20th ult. for Para in the Mai ia. A. T• -- Private letters fiom Lisbon further state, that those' Braiilians who were brought frcim Maraithans undbr similar circumstances; were likewise ordered by his Most Faithful NIAJESTY to be liberated aad sent hotise. It was the general opinion in Lisbon, from this, that all idea of again attempting the subjugation of those Colo nies had been given up by the Court of Portugal. OUT OF TOWN. An unfortunate 'Marchioness and two Countesses were yesterday ascertained to be in town by '+ White's men." Expulsion from Almack's neat seapon will most certainly be the consequence. An unhappy and inexperienced housemaid was dismissed on Saturday by Dowager Lady for having incautiously thrown open the drawing-room window shutters, and thus indicated resi dence and occupancy by the Noble owner. A clownish footman was in the same way last week deservedly cashiered by kis Lord, for having with a broom removed the symptoms of vegetation in front of his Lordship's house, Grosvenor-square, and so destroyed the unerring proof of being long" out of town." The Marquis of is said to have been detected entering by Hyde Park-corner last night —we trust the rumour is unfounded. IMPROVEMENTS. It is said to be among the numberless improvements at Charing cross, to throw open the Park opposite the Union Club. Berkeley house, and the one opposite, in the passage from Spring-gardens, are to be demolished; Carlton-house is to undergo a variety of necessary repairs; they have already commenced. This contra dicts the report that the Palace is to be pulled down. At Thames Dittos, the CHOLMONDZLZY family are making seat improvemcnts. The Noble Marquis is so fond of fishing, that he passes whole days in angling for roach. Saturday, his MAJESTY repeated his ride to Virginia Water ' and after amu'ing himself on the Lake, returned to the Royal Lodge, Windsor. The vessel in which the Kiva amuses himself is cutter-built, nearly fifty feet in length, and admirably fin6hed ; the cabin is formed by an awning and curtains of green silk. The hanquetting boat is of larger dimensions, and flat-bot tomed; the interior is beautifully finished in mahog any. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER is expected in town to-morrow. _ _ Saturday, Mr. Secretary CANNING left town, accom panied by his son, for Eton School. Thursday night, Mr. Secretary Pcat. arrived in Lon don from Broadstaits. Friday, the Right Hon. Gentleman was closely engaged in business at the Home Office. Saturday morning he left town on a visit to his father, Sir ROBERT Pact., at his seat near Tamworth, Staffordshire. Count MUNSTER is expected in London, from Hano. ver, at the end of this month. BERLIN, AUGUST 28.—The KING returned yesterday evenittg from Doberan; the Crown Prince is gone to Konigsberg. HANOVER, AUGUST 28.—,Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of CAIdiITDOE arrived here the day before yes terday, from Doberan. They returned by way of Lubeck and Hamburgh, and are now at Montbrillant. BRUNSWICK, AUGUST 26.—Our Duke is at Naples with his brother, after his visit to his venerable grandmother, the Margravine of BEDUN : he passed through Switzerland partly on foot, and not without danger over Mount Simplon; he stopped some time at Milan and Rome. We are sorry to announce the death of the Countess FrriwtwAst which took place at Wentworth House, on Wednes day evening ;att. The Bishop of WINCHESTER has just had a windfall of no less than £14,000, by a renewal of one of the many va luable leases held under that See. Lord LONSDALI entertained the Judges and the lead ing Barristers, now on the Northern Circuit, hs a most splendid and hospitable manner at Lowther Hall, in Westmorland. Tuesday the Worshipful the Mayor of Ripon, R. RAW, gave a sumptuous entertainment at the Town Hall, te the Members of the Corporation, and the principal Gentlemen in the town and neighbourhood. The Right Hon. F. Rosman, Chan cellor of the Exchequer (who is on a visit with his Lady to Mrs. Law asses, at &vdley,) honoured Mr. Mayor with his presence. The ball in the evening was unusually splendid, comprising all the beauty and fashion in the town and neighbourhood. Colonel BERKELEY, Capt. A. BERKELEY, Mr. DAw ems, and Mr. &LOMS, performed for PaaLm's Benefit at Chelten ham. The Play was Henri Quatrei after which, High Life &elute &airs. The House was crowded to excess, and the Amateurs were greeted with as much warmth as they could wish. At the Glasgow Theatre, on Monday night last, Miss EssiLSTON fainted, just as Mr. Succors was about to commence " Oh! Lady, ne'er will I prove false to thee," in consequence of , which the air was not sung, but " All's Well" substituted for it at a later period of the evening. Miss EDMISTON'S re-appearance eli cited a burst of applause from the audience, who had previously manifested considerable sympathy. The beautiful villa, known by the name of Bilson Cottage, near Virginia Water, was burnt to the ground on Saturday afternoon. Its occupier, Reed Frampton, Esq. had just returned from a shooting party, who were dining with him when the fire broke out. It was oc casioned by some combustibles boiling over in the wash.house, the cottage being under repair. The house, being built of wood, was soon destroyed, with the greater part of the furniture. A few months ago, the masons removed the statue of the Kings and Queens of England, situated in the quadranglt of the Royal Exchange, when the head of Catalan the First fell off the body. This morning the statue resumed the niche it before occupied, with a new head,which was allowed by Gentlemen present to be a fine likeness. His Majesty is likewise furnished with a new sceptre and ermine tippet. Some boys were yesterday afternoon amusing them selves by jumping from one gate to another in Smithfield Sheep pens, when one of them of the name of Rogers, son of a tinman in John-street, owing to one of the gates being on the swing, fell and fractured his head in a dreadful manner. Yesterday afternoon a young man, named Joseph Wilson, in the employ of Mr. BELLAMY, newsvender, went with two other friends in a chaise-cart to Edgeware. The young man drove; and, on coming to this side of the village, where there was no house for two miles, by some accident he lost possession of the reins, fell off his seat, and the wheel went over his head, lacerating both his eyes and face so dreadfully as to leave no hopes of his recovery. He was conveyed by his friends to the nearest house, whe e every assistance was afforded him. A single stalk of oats, bearing 237 pickles, and a great many bearing 120 and upwards, were pulled on the farm of Boagfoot, parish of Shorts, within a mile of the Church, which is known to be one of the bleakest districts in the low lands of Scotland. The 18th of August, in the afternoon, a phenomenon very rare in this country, was observed at Ilarderwyck, in Gaeldoland. A noise like that of several loaded waggons running rapidly, was heard in a South West direction. In some houses, the doors suddenly flew open, in others, the noise was so loud, that people thought the roof was coming down. In a plantation in the town, about twenty soldiers asleep on the grass were awakened by the subterraneoes noise, and feeling the ground tremble under them, were frightened, and went away. It seems, therefore, that the noise which all the inhabitants heard was under ground, and that there was a shock of an earthquake.-.—Brusseh Paper. The KING'S Stag-hounds are at present in the New Foreit, where great sport has been shewn by the red deer, which are abundant. Forty head are to be run down, and sent to the neighbourhood of Windsor. The red deer in the Forest are sup posed to be a French breed, brought over by William the Con queror, and are remarkable fir their speed ; runs of an hour and a half full speed, clearing 30 miles, have beau mentioned as the sport of last week. ...... - AUL -4, .1 C.C.:7 r:at" --stele ' ~~.~~-f►ri i ___ J WEST COWES, sEtrEAmEn .3.

ALOIERS.—II appears, that on the cessation of hosti lities, Mr. DURNFORD, our Pro-Consul, landed, under the customary distinctions, and, thereupon, the Algerine Admiral and some of his principal Captains, made an application to be permitted to inspect our bomb and mortar vessels. The request was not complied with, nor was any Officer of our fleet permitted to land, ex cept the Honourable Captain SPENCER, of the Naiad, who was the sole medium of communication between Sir HARRY NEALE and the Dtv of ALGIERS. "fht, !Etna bomb, Captain BANDON', which led the fleet into Algiers bay, and boldly anchored within 3,100 yards of the batteries, did not sustain any injury from their tire. The one hundred and fifty pieces of cannon on the Av rine lines were fired three or four times at her, in a cor rect direction, but the shot fell short, and the shells went over her. The !Etna was so close in, that she was c(zr• pletely at the mercy of the Algerine gun-boats, had tiie attack been made; thirty-four of which, itt most excel lent condition, each carrying one gon, aid fornlcel id one line, outside of the mole head, would have wade an instant attack upon her : an Admiral's Flag was seen !a the centre of the Line, and one on each wing.
