We should think so, certainly, if the Sinking Fund were to be ex clusively applied in the manner stated ; for in this case would redeem the whole of the new Three per Cents esen at par, in less than nine years, inasmuch as there is no more th . an 32,734,151. of the new Stock in ex ,leave ; and, by referring to an Annuity Table, it will be seen that an annuity of 3,200,0001. will, in 18 halt years, at the interest of Three per Cent. amount to a capital of 32,783,0021. The truth is, that the Minister will, in common serbe, apply the Sinking Fund to the redemption of the Fives at par, in preference to the purchase of Three per Cents. under par ; and the pro prietors of the Fives, who have their money thus thrown back on their hulas, will have no other means of re investing it, except in the intended Four and a Half per Ce.a. Stock, and the new Three per Cents. which last will, therefore, rise of its own accord, to a higher amount than any other, without the aid of the Sinking Fund -t all. This forenoon we received German Papers to the I ;.th inst. They state that a Mr. LEIDNEIt, agent for tik: House of lILLLERT and Cu. of London, had engaged flay pet sons at Freiburg for the London Buenos Ayres Aiming Company. They are engaged at liberal sala fey, for a period of five years. The salary of the In spect.r is 5,000 dollars.

" VALIANT Porruouni.—The British Government acts according tea plan of complete intrigue. They favour our. farty as far only as they conceive ii consistent with their own Machiavelic views, with unheard of subtlety, afterwards so managing, that the French Government should be the executors of the very plots they them selves had framed, by extorting the banishment of our Prince, the only person who ought to reign over us. It was they (British Go vernment) who dictated the Decree of the 11 th June, on seeing the publication of our innocence and just pretension*, by he competent tribunal, was so near at hand, which would have brought eternal confusion on our enemirs. " The moment has arrived, Portuguese. The Continental Go vernments are on our side, and, although tbt abdication of the King should not take place, an equivalent will be obtained, without the number of evils, Portuguese, such a measure would bring with it. Let us, therefore, unite—let us ward off the tempest gathering against us, by resorting to a - policy that is not our own. Let us esxablibh a Regency, presided over by the Queen, our Lady, with whom alone we can be happy." We have received the French Papers of Tuesday and Wednesday. The most interesting article they contain is a document publ'shed in a Supplement of the Jour nal des Debats. It is the Address of a Greek Agent, Captain NICOLAS Krerca, resident in Rome, to " his Holiness LEO XII. Pope, Visible Head of the Universal Christian Church." The ostensible object of this Ad dress, which is stated to be presented in the name of the Provisional Government and Clergy of Greece, seems to be to procure, through the intervention of the Pore, a King for Greece; but as it is proposed that this King shall be appointed by certain Sovereigns, it must be expected that the direct support of those Sovereigns would thus be at last obtained to the Greek Revolution. The Address begins by dis avowing all connection between the Greek insurrec tion and demagogic principles. Allusion is next made to the disappointments which Greece had ex perienced in the expectation of deliverance through the European Powers, Russia and France. But the most remarkable circumstance is, a proposal to', unite the Greek Church with the Roman Catholic, and to recognize the Pore as the supreme pastor of the . Church of CHRIST. As a further inducement, his Ho liness is told that " the example of the Greek Church " when she shall be espoused by the Roman Pontiff, " will soon draw after it her daughters, the Churches "of Bulgaria, Servia, Moldavia, and even of Rus " sia, and then the prophecy of the Gospel will be " fillet Lei qui erant dispersi con " gregard in onson." He is next requested to invite the Emperor of GERMANY and the King of FRANCE, to take into their serious consideration the affairs of Greece, and to concur in opinion as to the choice of a King for that country—" a Christian, Catholic, and " Apostolic King, the issue of the blood Royal of one "of the numerous reigning houses of the Bourbon fa " milies of France, Spain, or of the Two Sicilies, or of " the Imperial family of Austria, or of the family of " Saxony, or of that of Bavaria, or of any other family " the High Powers may think fit to point out." It is stated in a note, that the Address was delivered, on the 24th of May, to Prince BARBERINI, the Pope's Cham berlain, who, on the 6th of June, informed KIEFLA that he had laid it before his Holiness on the same day on which he received it: what the answer of the POPE was dues not appear. Just as our PaperT —n.m..--- as going to press, we received the ifoniteur and other French Papers of Thursday, and the Stile of yesterday. They contain little intelligence. The French Funds are recovering : the Three per Cents. were as high as 72 fr. 10 c. an Thursday. An article from Constantinople confirms the deaths of OIOYMUS, TILELAWNIT, and BORALDIA, the Greek heroine. - Thl Messrs. Rornscnuos have contracted for a new loan of six millions and a half of florins, to the Duchy of Hesse Darmstadt, Accounts from Spain state, that they are pressing men for the expedition to the Havanuah, which it is wished to increase to 20,000 men in all.

Wninsoa, AUGUST 19.—His Nassau has for some time past enjoyed a more than ordinary good state of health, and daily con tinues his airings in his pony phaeton, which he invariably drives himself, and seldom fails, during his absence from the Royal Lodge, visiting Virginia Water. The marquees and tents which his Warsaw had placed there at the commencement of the season are so commodiously arranged, that the greatest comfort and conveni ence are afforded to his MaJzarr and suite during their aquatic entertainments. Every afternoon during the present week his MA JZIITY has dined at 'Virginia Water, and has seldom returned to the Royal Lodge before half after eight o'clock.

YORKSHIRE MUSICAL FESTIVAL. The first morning's performance will commence with Handel's Gloria Patti, for the peace of Utrecht, in 1713 (being the only one he ever wrote), omitting the symphony, so that every voice and instrument will be heard in one simultaneous burst of sound, in the mag nificent key of D, producing an effect which Dr. Burnley lamented the want of in 1784. About thirty choruses, which were not performed in 1823, are com prised in the present selection, inclusive of two which are generally, though without sufficient reason, omitted in the Messiah " The LORD gave the word," and " Break forth into joy." The arrangement of the orchestra differs from that of the last festival—it projects fifteen feet more into the nave, and the chorus singers are placed under the first arch on each side adjoining the tower, the sound of their voices bring prevented from dispersion by the • roof of the aisles. The effect of the t.horusses must be superb ; the increased number of the bass performers, both vocal and instrumental, will add materially to the grandeur of their execution. The centre will con tain about 1,600 persons ; the west gallery, having the. passages to it thrown behind the pillars, will accom modate 1,400: the side aisles will hold 800, ar.d the galleries erected under the four arches next to the or chestra on each side, 1,500; so that there will be seats for at least 5,300 persons, and, with standing room, space for about 6,000 in the whole, with an orchestra of 600 performers. The concert-roam will be finished within a month, and is a truly splendid edifice; it will accommodate nearly '2OOO persons, and the orchestra will hold 140 or 150 performers. The walls are of a pale straw colour, the pilasters of the lonic order, in imitation of yellow marble; between their capitals and the cornice, is a frieze of about three feet in depth, representing ap propriate figures in relievo, from the designs of C. Rossi, Esq. R.A. There are two dome lights in the roof, the rest of which is painted in compartments. The door opening into the assembly•room, through which is the approach of the company, is In feet high. The cost of the new room, which is vested in the Archbishop, the Dean, and the Lord Mayor of York, for the four Hospitals, will exceed 60001. The expense of the Festival, independent of that sum, will probably exceed 11,000/. being WOOL more than that of the last meeting. The guarantee fund amounts to about 10,0001. It is with pleasure we state that the Very Rev. the Dean has received a letter from the Rev. C. It. Sumner, Librarian to the King, communicating his Majesty's gracious commands that a copy of Dr. Arnold's splendid edition of the entire works of Handel, in 47 volumes folio, from tae Royal Library at Buckingham House, shall be presented to the Directors of the Yorkshire MusicAl Festiv.l, for the use of the ensuing and all other Festivals which AO! he Alevoted to charitable purposes. This mark of his Majesty's favdur is highly gratifying, and proves the interest taken in the success of the appro.sching Festival, by its Royal and Munificent Patron. The Hercules, arrived at L verpool, has brought let ters from Buenos Ayres of the 4th of June, but they cont4in no political int:iligence.

This distinAsuished Statesman and emin nt Orator, arrived at the King's Aims Inn, in Ke9dal, last Tues day afternoon, soon after four o'clock, on his way to Storrs Hall, Windermere, the seat of Colonel BOLTON. It was known that he had received .an invitation from the Mayor and Corporation to partake-of - a cold col latiOn, and a great concourse of - people assemblcd.— S 'on after two o'cl , ck the Mayor and Corporation proceeded to the King's Arms, when Colonel Botrom drove up in his carriage and four, to await the arrival of his illustrious guest: About hal past three, the avant courier arrived, and announced that Mr. CAN.. NI NG would be up in less than half an hour. at his arrival he was ushered into a to , nr by Col. Bouro, (the cavalry band playing GOD save the King !) who introduced the Mayor and Corporation a few minutes afterwards : he cordially shook each Gentleman by the hand. This ceremony over, the following Address was presented by E. TATIJAM, Esq. D .putt' Recut der " We, the Mayor, Deputy Recorder, and Aldermen of the Burgh of Kirby-in-Kendal, in the county of Westmoreland, re joke in the opportunity of paying our personal respects to one, whose pre-eminent talents have so greatly contributed to raise this countri in the scale of nations, and whose perseverin; efforts, we trust, will long be happily engaged in the advanceme t of its in creasing prosper;: . To you, Sir, as a distinguished Member of his Majesty's Government, we are glad to embrace. this oppor tunity of expressing those sentiments of loyalty to our King, anJ attachment to our Constitution, which we ardently feel, and whichwe trust have never been wanting in this ancient Corporation.' To this Address Mr. CANNING made the following reply : •• •I am highly flattered and gratified by the kind expression of your good opinion and good withrs. I have long known and appreciated the loyalty and sound principles of the Corporation of Kendal. I feel, as every public man must feel, that to receive from respectable Bodies of hit Countrymen testi monies of approbation, such as you have had the goodness to offer tome this day, is the best reward of any services which he nt.ty have rendered, or endeavoured to render, to his Country." LIVERPOOL. The weather, from Saturday until Monday afternoon, was unusually stormy for the season of the year.— Throughout the whole of Saturday night a violent gale b!ew from the north-west. Betweci seven and eight o'clock in the evening several brigs ar rived off the port ; and one of them, in a:tempting to run in, got on West Hoyle sand-bank. She was from some port in Ireland, with a cargo of cattle ; the crew and drovers amounted to seven persons. As soon as the brig struck on the bank she boat was lowered, and part of the people got into it; but it immediately filled, and was nearly swamped among the breaker s . The peopteltartunately regained the vessel's deck.— Afterwards, having succeeded in baling oat the water from the boat, three of the men again embarked ; and after being in imminent peril among the breaker>, succeeded in landing near West Kirby, in Cheshire. The brig went to pieces shortly after, and the four men. perished in the deep. The Otter, a small vessel of not more than twenty-eight tons, sailed on Thursday for Africa, and was lost off Southport.-- The Captain and crew were fortunately saved. A num ber of vessels were at anchor in Bootle Bay, all of which rode out the gale. Sunday afternoon, how ever, the gale not abating, most of them ran up the Slyne for greater security. Mon 'ay afternoon, the gale moderated ; but the wind continued to blow fresh throughout the day. The vessels which sailed o'i Thursday and Friday mornings could not, from the direction of the wind, have made %ni considerable way; three of them, indeed, put back o.) Sunday fdrenoon, and three others put into Beaumarii. Of those which kept out at sea, several were seea on Saturday, off Point Lynas. The wind, during ,Monday night, was moderate from the northward, so hat they wou!sl be enabled to prosecute their voyages. Monday, the Bth instant, great consternation wa; experienced in ltedmund Place, Circus Street, ecc. by the bursting of the sewer, occasioned by the heavy fall of rain which bad preceded it. A rumbling noise under ground was heard on the Thursday preceding,. and on the Monday morn:ng, about three o'clock, the - sough burst where it crosses Relmund Place ; im mense pieces of the arch falling inwards choked up the passage, and caused an overflow into all the neigh bouring cellars. The inhabitants were obliged to leave their beds and seek shelter from their more fortunate neighbours. The water was at length cleared away, but on Wednesday morning, during the heavy fall of rain, the streets and cellars were again inundated.— The houses have since been examined, and they appear in a very dangerous state, several of them having al ready cracked, and many of them are rAiliged to be propped up. amm0m...........-ii ENGLISH OPERA-HOUSR—The new Opera is now performed nightly to houses overflowing with excellent company- BlumAu, Potturs, Miss PATON, and the whole of the principal singers were last night in fine voice. After the Opera, It he Jenlutes was performed for the first time this season, and Miss KILLS' and Wavisma kept the audience in great inirth by the exer cise of their comic talent in their two well-known parts. Amongst reshionables who have visited this Theatre during the week, we have noticed—The Count and Countess St. Antonio, Lady Londonderry, Lady Charleville, Lady Ponsunby, Lady Fitzroy Somerset,„l,ird Borghersh, Prince Esterhazy, Countess of Stan hope, the .Marchloness of Salisbury, Lord Chesterfield, Lord Howard de Walden, Lord Glengall, Lord 'William Lennox, Coun tess Paulet, &c.

The letter turns out to be a forgery. A poor lunatic, named Walker, formerly in s-rvice in some part of the King's household, and dressed in . rags, made a pompous entre into Bow-street Office yes terday, and demanded satisfaction for an assault, &c. of his landlord, a publican; but the case was dismissr-d, after a magnificent flourish front Mr. Walker, at which . the Court laughed heat tily.
