The road Along which their Majesties passed, was crowded with the inhabitants of the environs in their holiday clothes eager to testify, by the most lively acclamations, their joy at the sight of their beloved Sovereign. In the eveninr, all the steeples and manufactories on both sides of the Brenta were illuminated, and bands of music stationed in different places. The Archduke Francis Charles, and the Archduchess Sophia, his consort, are gone to Rovigo, and will arrive at Stra to-morrow. It seems that we shall not have the pleasure of seeing their Imperial Majesties in this city before the 15th of ol:is month. _ _ SONDRIO, JULY IS. The magnificent road, which our august Sovereign, i;h 11,c)al munificence, has caused to I .re made over the highest summits of Selvio; to open a direct com.l munication with Germany, which is now nearly corn p:eled, induced his Highness Prince Metternich to cause that new road on his return from Milan to Ger- To;lny. This circumstance procured the town of Son cl:io tie pleasure of seeing kis Highness, on the sth of -July. On the following day he went to 13,:rmio, where he enter ed the road over the Selvio, add examined the ai:onibhing works by which art has triumphed over the obstacles raised by nature, and formed over t'Lose iilaccessible heights, a road which will soon be prazticable for the use of commerce and travellers. , The Allgemeine Zeitung, of the 26th ult. copying the ac,:sunts given in the Bastrian Observer of the 20th, of the affairs of Greece, after the Greek Journals, rectifies a seeming mistake, noticed by the Austrian Observer. This Journal, in a note, says, !: We have received this Creek Chronicle, Na. 44, of 15th (not 16th) June, but do not find in it the slightest allusion to the prsrt . ant victory of General GoURA, at Salons, which a letter in the Allgemeina Zeitung stated that it confirmed." To this the ifilge.neine 44tung replies :—" The news respecting Salona appeared, as we understand, in an Eztraordinary Number, which was not published till 16th June, but, as a Supplement to the Greek Chronicle of 15th lune, bore the same date." The French Pipers of Saturday and Sunday contain some intelligence from Greece, which represents COLOCOTKONI as having defeated IBRAHIM PAINIA, while a latter is said to have been received from Trieste, which represents the Egyptian Commander a: having taken Tripolizza,. and being within half an hour's march of Napoli di Romania. Of course both accounts mug bs received with hesitation. • An article from Odessa, in the French Papers, states that the result of the conferences held at St. Petersburgh in the winter, t etween the Ministers of the Allied Courts of Russia, Austria, l•iance, and Prussia, has been communicated to the Porte by :Am's of a note, presented by the Ambassadors of those Powers at Constantinople; and that according to the accounts from that capi_ tal of the :.oth of June, the Porte bad net given any written answer to this communication ; but the R e is Math had declared verbally to each Ambassador, that the Porte must decline all intervention in the atiairs of the Ureeks, as derogatory to its honour.

Some of the PAri.ian astronomers say we shall have Hate or no rain until the end of the autumn, the disk of the sun being more free from spots than has been known for several years. A genial shower this day, with the appearance of much more rain, is, however, likely to retute the Parisian Sevens. Eul FITZwILLIA NI and Lnrd MILTON have arrived at Wentworth House, near Rotherham.

The order for his appearance has, however, been again countermanded. The Abbe de ST. FARE, a natural Eon of the too' celebrated Nair Boaciza, died on Sunday se'nnight. He :was one of the innumerable examples among the French of the incon veniences to which they will submit, under the most painful cir cumstances of infirmity or old age, rather than not enter into so ciety. Totally deprived of the use of his limbs, and with all the digressing appearance of bulk of a man in the dropsy, he was to be seen, until within a few months, wheeling tiinistlf about in a erlin's chair, in the salons of the fashionable company of Paris, apparently enjoying himself in conversation or his rubber of ?Agit, es if be were in perfect health.

Stn'--Seeing this morning a letter in one of out Weekly Papers here (TheAnnotateur &ulonnais), written by an Englishman, who has reason to be proud of the spirited manner in which he vindicates the assaulted Character of h;, countrymen, and deprecating, in the strongest terms, t!'e conduct of an individual, who, influenced by the bai.e;t motives, wrote an article to the Marring Herald, which a4reared on the 22d, FALSELY CALUMNIATING t! , character of the British' residents in this town, I think it my duty (as your Cor respondent here) to lose no time in forwarding you a , copy of the cane, as the best means of protnoting that publicity which the exposure of UNFOUNDED SCANDAL so imperiously demands. (COPY.) " SUNDAY, Jinx 24,1825.. " Ma. Enroll—l have this moment observed, in the Morning " Herald of Friday Jut, a paragraph trent the pen of some scrib-1 " bling, low-nth:dad WITLING, relative to the nature of the society " of Boulogne, and am perfectly astonished that any respectable " Paper should give insertion to so feeble aril so groveling an at- 1 " tempt to any community. Among the most exceptionable " ' personages' to be met with in this town, no doubt the most ob- 1 " jectionrble is the wretch who wrote that paragraph, with a view " to reduce others, if possible, to tits own level, being unacquainted " with the many most respectable and estinsabk families and indict " duals residing at Boulogne-sur-Mer, whose doors are unquestion " ably shut against malicious slanderers, of which ma is 014 Z ! That " Boulogne, like every other ' Wavvtuia PLacs,' cannot bt . tast of " an inintacuk:e society is too clearly demonstrated - by , the ae " knowledged presence of a demoniac calumniator, whosejaundiced " eye can only perceive, in a very numerous and mixed society, the "few bad among the MANY Goon and *MAUR characters to be met " with at this fashionable and gay *watering place.' The assassin " who murders an individual, is often caught and banged; but thi " wretch who endeavours to murder the character of a community, 1 ‘ is more worthy of the gibbet; and is as great a pest to society as " the assassin ! The concluding sentence of the paragraph alluded to, spews that its writer fortunately moves in a circle o f his own, " if such actually exists here, and that psis quite aufait at the tricks " of his associates, which verifies the vulgar English proverb, ' Set a " thief to catch a thief.' _ _ " I am, Sir, your obedient Servant, T. " Yon are at liberty to give my name to any man who avows him " of to be the writer of that paragraph, and to refer him to me for " any further satisfaction." Hoping, Sir, to see you evince (by the speedy inser tion of the above in your excellent Journal) your coin cidence with my own, and that of every true English man's opinion, that scandal cannot be too widely exposed, or too loudly denounced, I beg leave to subscribe myself, with every respect, VINDEL , NAP - AL INTELLIGENCE. PIRATES. The following is an extract of letter from the Agent to Lloyd's it Honduras, dated 15th June:—" The Robert, Dustor, arrived here on the 23d of May, from Greenock and St. Thomas's, was boarded by a pirate the same day she left the latter place, who took Captain Dvst.or out of his vessel, kept him on board for three hours, and then dismissed him. The pirate was a schooner, mounting one long guri on a swivel, with muskets, &c. Captain D. says, he taw the same vessel at anchor while he lay at St. Tho mu's, with only four or five men; while he was on board she had about sixty men, all ruffians of different nations, Captain and all hands in a state of intoxication. They told him they were Colom bians' and waiting for the brig Hunter, Captain Nicot.x., bound from St. Thomas's for La Guayra, with a considerable quantity of specie, and tat passengers. The Captain of the privateer said, that .when he went into St. Thomas's to reconnoitre, he always landed his hands on Crubb Island, and Captain D. has no doubt but he must cruise with the connivance of the Authorities of St.Thomas's, or the residents cf that island." _ _ _ Arrived off Scilly, the Castlereagh, WzraserxAst, from Mirami chi; Reza, STocsszo, from Cadiz; Hope, Maws, from Lisbon.

In constquerce of the almost unprecedented continuance of warm weather, the greater part of the corn crops are nearly fit for the sickle. In Middlesex, Essex, Surrey, Kent, Hertfordsuire, Oxfordshire, and some other counties, large quantities have already been reaped. The quality and amount of the crops are exceedingly various, some being plentiful, and full in ear, and others altogether as bad. The wheat, generally speaking, is both plentiful and good ; barley not quite so favourable. Oats and rye are tolerably good, but not so good as we remember in some former years. The accounts of the crops from the Northern Counties are generally favourable, but they will not, of course, be down for some weeks yet. The hop account is decidedly bad, as are also the turnip pros pects, which, as well as the artificial and the natural grasies, suffer much from the want of rain. Potatoes, with the exception of some few favoured spots, have not been very productive. Those vines which were not blighted by the spring frost present a very fine shew of grapes. Some few other fruits have also profited by the weather; hut, generally speaking, it has produced a sad fall in the leaves o f trees, particularly those in very dry situations. Heat and want of rain is much felt in the Kitchen Garden. Gardeners say, if this weather continues a fortnight longer, vege tables will not be brought to market but in very small quantities, and those which are made to stow by excess of labour (watering), will fads a remarkably high price. Those productions which re quire heat are now most abundant. Apricot trees have seldom been so productive. The walls are covered, in most warns situations, with fruit. Cucumbers are fine and plentiful. Cabbages, Lettuces, and Battersea Beans, are burnt up, and not fit to cat. Potatoes, in some grounds, are almost baked by the solar heat. • His Royal Highness the Duke of SUSSEX, Sir J'LLN Dolma, and several other Gentlemen of distinction, honoured the Fishmongers' Company with their presence, at their Hall yester day, to witness the starting of the young watermen for Dogget's coat and badge. The whole of the party afterwards partook of an elegant dinner in the Company's Hall. There was a n:ost splendid exhibition of the Aurora Borealis on Tuesday night. ft was seen by many persons in tke neighbourhood of Carlisle, and further North. Almost every st:ecies of game has been unusually prolific in the present year. Pheasants, part:Mgt.:, *ar.ti hues; ' sic very abundant, large., and vigorous. CORONER'S INQUEST. Saturday night. at eight o'clock, an Inv= was held at the Buffalo's Head, New Road, Mary-la-bonpe, fore THOMAS STIRLING, Esq. Coroner, on the bodies of Mrs. Elizabeth Groves, aged 40; Miss Margaret Mor ris, aged 28 ; and Mary Ann Jones, aged 12, her ap prentice, whe were burnt to death at the fire in Old Cavendish.street, on Friday night last. Mr. Jones, tailor, and owner of the house where the fire broke out, was the first wiutess. His statement went to prove, that on Friday night last, about tea o'clock, he was in his front parlour, in conversation with a Gentleman named Holmes, when they were at tracted by something heavy falling down ; witness con ceiving it to be one of the bales of cloth which he kept in the back parlour, he immediately went out to ascer tain the cause, and on opening the door of the back parlour a body of flames rushed out upon him, and burnt his face ansl hair. He instantly called ott " Fire I" as loud as he possibly could, in order to alarm the inmates of the house, and he then proceeded to the Court House, Mary-la-bonne-lane, for the engine. On his return back again, the house was all in flames, and in a short period was burnt to the ground. The de ceased Mrs. Groves was his servant, and at the time pf the fire was in the upper part of the house, unwell. Miss Morris was a dressmaker, and occupied the se cond floor apartments, and Mary Ann Jones was her api,rentice. Mr. Jones, who seemed tru:b affectec, at,ributed the cause of the fire to a fide in one of the kitchen chimneys having caught fire, as the washer women had been at work there for two days. When be (witness) first discovered the tire, Robert Groves ran up stairs to alarm his mother; the old Lady managed to get to the first floor landing-plav, where she was met by the deceased Miss Morris and Ann Junes, but they were almost suffocated by the smoke, and were obliged to return up stairs again, when the unfortunate acci dent took place. Witness was not insured, and he has lost the whole of his property, which was con‘iderzble. Mr. Holmes's testimony was corroborat;te of the last witness, and several otl ers were examined as to the finding of the bodies in the ruins, whit's resented a most horrid appearance—nothing but the bones, which were completely burnt to cinders, and clotted t%ith Miss Morris's head was separated from the body. The former was picked out of the rubbish yesterday morning. The Jury, after sitting until a late hour, returned a verdict of-- Accidental Death by Burning. Prince Schwartzenberg had taken a suite of apart ments on the first floor during the last month, but had only been one week in the house when the dreadful ca lamity happened. He returned home on the night of the fire, with Iris interpreter, and proceeded to his apart ment, where he was undressed, preparing for bed, when the alarm was made; and in order to save his life he was necessitated to escape out of the back window by sliding down a water-pipe. His servant escaped by the same means, as did also Robert Groves, who had a very narrow escape with his life. Prince Schwartzenberg's loss has been very considerable. Sir Faawcts BcanETT is now at seat at Rams busy, in Wiltshire, where, it is probable, his friend, Lord COZ&I. Lutz, will shortly pay him a vidt. It is now generally understood in the City, that all loans on stock are refused by the Directors of the Bank, although no public notice to that effect has been given in any form. When de determination wa* adcpted to resort to that mode of employing capital, the intention of the Bank Directors was, we believe, announced at the Stock Exchange; the omis sion, therefose, of any notice respecting its abandon ment has created a degree of doubt, whether it is meant only to exclude particular individuals from that accom modation, or refuse it altogether ? It is certa'n that refusals have been given, and that the reJemption of large pledges of stock, previously made, has been called for. ENGLISH OPERA Honsit.—Last night Mr. Bitztam.t and Miss PATON made their first appearance for the season, in the Opera of Der freischiitz. Their reception was highly flattering. The Opera was succeeded by a new afterpiece, entitled Who's at Home? or, Man and Wife before Marriage. The plot turns upon the mu tual embarrassment of two lovers, Captain aarply (Mr. Waimea), and the Widow olace (Miss GHAV;, who are both lodged in the same apartments, by the contrivance of their servants, Schentewell (Mr. CHAP MAN), and Mitten (Miss KELLY), and who consent to marry at last to save the character of the house. Mr: BARTLEY plays the part of a delicate old bachelor, named Scruple, who is shocked at the sight of naked statues, &c. In the struggle which took place when the curtain fell, the ccntents had the best of it. Sunday morning the inhabitants .of Hammersmit'n were dreadfully alarmed about half past ;is o'clock, by a young female, very respectably dresseJ, apparently about 20 years of age, being discovered by the ostler of the George public-house, lying in the Broadway, near the watch-house, with all her clothes tied over her head. He immediately released her from her situation, when he found her in a dying state, with part of her tongue bit or cut off. She was instantly conveyed t 3 the workhouse, but before she could receive any me dical assistance, the poor creature breathed her last. It is supposed that the unfortunate young woman, who is a perfect stranger at Hammersmith, was on her way to Brentford, and was be.et by some ruffians,. who brutally ill-used her, and robbed her of her shawl and other things, as no property was found upon her.. Two persons were seen coming from the Broadway about an hour previous to the discovery taking place. The body lies at the workhouse' to be owned, and await the Coroner's Inquest. An alarming fire broke out last night, between the hours of nine and ten, on the premises of Mr. OLIVER, Tunbridge-place, New Road, when two new hoose , , belonging to Mr. 0. were completely gutted. Several engines soon arrived, but, from the scarcity of water, were unable to save any more than the adjoining housef.
