A RURAL. Of ; OR, 'TIS WELL 'TIS NO WORSE! IN Seville, a Nobleman grac'd by bright Boots, Was tender'd an offering of cream and rich fruits; l'se.spples at first were propos'd, but the Fates For these substituted, most luckily—dates. Twelve peasants who nought of disaster could dream, Bore each in his hand a large bason of cream, With dates in profusion.—" Observe," said their leader, " In ev'ry respect to adopt my procedure— ,' Whatever I do—do exactly the same." Well—into this Nobleman's presence they came— But when in the Jet of unrivalled eclat His form by reflection the leader first saw, Ile dropt both the cream and the fruit to the ground! His friends did the same—and a deluge profound Pervaded the room. With astonishment mute The Nobleman stood—while his more active suite Embracing the means, sent fierce volleys of dates Athwart the discomfited peasantry's pates! " How kind," cried their leader, " the Fate that annuls " Our foolish resolves! had we pine-apples brought, " Fatality then bad been certainly wrought— " A volley of pines would have fractured our skulls !

IMPORTANT INFORMATION. 91HE most invaluable discoveries are frequently op posed, in their progress to celebrity, by prejudice and un belief. The Amateurs of Personal Attraction are earnestly invited to a proof of unparalleled excellence, by the use of ROWLAND'S KA LYDOR, - - A Cosmetic of vital importance to the support of female loveliness. Powerful of effect, yet mild of influence, this admirable specific possesses balsamic properties of surprising energy. It eradicates Freckles, Pimples, Spots, Redness, and all Cutaneous Eruptions, gradually producing a delicately clear soft Skin ; transforms even the most sallow CompLaith into radiant Whiteness; resists the scorching rays of the sun ; successfully opposes the attack of in clement weather, and renders harsh and rough skin beautifully soft, smooth, and even; imparts to the Neck, Face and Arms a healthy and juvenile bloom; diffuses a pleasant coolness, and, by due perseverance in the application of ROWLAND'S KALY DOR, promotes a free and uninterrupted exercise of those im. portant functions of the skin which are of the utmost necessity for the preservation of health, and attainment and continuance of a beautiful Complexion. The KALYDOR is equally indispensable in the Nursery as at the Toilet. Perfectly innoxious, it nray be used by the most deli cate Lady, with the assurance of safety and efficacy. To Mothers nursing their offspring, it gives, in all cases of incidental inflam mation, immediate relief ; cools the mouth of the Infant, and enhances internal pleasure in the act of administering alimentary nourishment. To Gentlemen whose faces are tender after shaving. A great infelicio which attends the operation of shaving, is the irritation of the skin ; many Gentlemen suffer greatly from this cause.— ILOWLA N IYS K A LYDO R will be found excellent beyond pre cedent in ameliorating and allaying that most unpleasant sensation. It removes unpleasant harshness of the Skin, occasioned by intense solar brat or cold winds ; and thus to the Traveller, whose avoca tions expose him to various changes of weather, proves an infallible specific—a prompt resource—and as conducing to comfort, a pleas ing appendage and invaluable acquisition.—Patronized by the Prin cess Esterhazy, the Persian Ambassador, and recommended by the most Eminent of the Faculty. Finally, it is the most beneficial preparation of any extant, and should be a Vatic Mecum fur every family.

The following is a letter from Smyrna. We must premise that the letters from that (patter ate generally filled with gloomy prognostications respecting the Greeks, to whom the meichants there are unit " Smyrna, July lin. " You must, no doubt, have heard of the destruction of Ipsara by the Turkish fleet. The event has caused great sensation here. The place was considered to bc one of the bulwarks of the Greek cause, and impreg nable. It was taken with comparatively no difficulty. The first impression was, that the Greeks had scarcely offered any resistance, but which appears not to have been the case, as the remnant of the garrison, after fighting from the morning of the 3d until five, P. at. of the 4th, flied the magazine of the convent, into which they had retreated, and overwhelmed their enemies in their own destruction. The Turkish loss is computed at 7.000 or 8,000 men, but which may be much exagge rated ; of the Greeks, very few escaped, not more than 300, and very few women, who fought with the men, and destroyed themselves when they saw all was lost ; 22 Greek vessels of the Ipsariot fleet have escaped, but with scarcely sufficient people on board to navigate them. " The next object of attack is said to be Samos, which cannot resist the immense force directing against it. Turks of all descriptions are leaving their occupa tions, and pouring into Scalanova by thousands, expect ing to enrich themselves by the plunder. The plunder at Ipsara appears to have been considerable, chiefly in specie. I fear that the Greek cause is fast drawing to an unfortunate end. The Paella of Egypt has prepared an immense and well-appropriated force to proceed to the Morea. There are reports of its having arrived.— The fleets of Hydra and Spezzia are out, but cannot oppose the Turkish and Egyptian squadrons. Smyrna is perfectly tranquil, notwithstanding the constant pas sage of troops. _ _ _ " P.S. Advices have just reached here of the Greek fleet, 72 vessels, having landed 4,000 men at Ipsara, and having defeated the Turkish garrison there; it is also said that they re-embarked immediately, and pro ceeded to Sambs to wait for the Turks." Extract of another letter, received yesterday: ' 6 Smyrna, July 17. " The various contradictory reports respecting Ipsara prevented our filtering into details for which we could not vouch. The Captain Pacha, with about 200 sail of vessels of all sizes, after the Ipsariots refused his proposal to treat, made his long threatened attack upon the island, by landing 15,000 men at day-light on the 3d instant, who in a very few hours overcame all resist ance. Almost 2,000 persons, chiefly women and chil dren, escaped in 15 of their vessels. Of the few that were left, few or no prisoners were made, and the car nage on both sides must have been great. " The Captain Pacha has actually sent back many of the numerous volunteers flocking to his standard, saying 6, his armament was sufficiently strong for the intended attack upon Samos and the other Greek Islands.' They were at Mitylene a few days ago, whence they sent home for all the small vessels the Pacha of Smyrna can procure. ft is reported that the Pacha of Egypt's fleet has taken Hydra and Spezzia, and that all the islands offer to return to their allegiance to the Grand Seignor." SPAIN. The Gibraltar Chronicle of the 7th instant, contains the copy of an Order of the Day by General O'Donnell, the Spanish Commander-in-Chief in the neighbouring districts of Andalusia, stating that a factious band had endeavoured to create an insurrection in Ximena, but was immediately quelled by the prompt conduct of an Officer of the Royal Dragoons, who with only six men attacked the conspirators, and forced them to take to flight, leaving one killed on the spot. The fugitives were pursued to the mountains. The following Proclamation has been issued by O'Donnell, in the neighbourhood of Gibraltar:— " Staff of the District in the neighbourhood of Gibraltar. " Garrison Order, Aug. 3, 1824. " The Commandant-General is happy to inform the corps com posing this garrison, that a number of ruffians belonging to Ximena, having yesterday assembled in that town before daybreak, for the purpose of repeating the late Constitutional farces, succeeded at first in securing and committing to prison some public func tionaries and respectable persons, thus disturbing the public tranquillity; but a gallant Lieutenant of the Princess's regi ment (De Gregorio de Conde) happening to be passing through 'the town with a party of six men of the same corps, this worthy Offi cer did not hesitate to attack the seditious with se inconsiderable a force, and after firing a few shots in the streets, dispersed them with the loss of one of their leaders, and followed them to the mountains, where they sought - shelter, and where they are now hunted, in order to bring them to condign punishment. This will be the ultimate result of every criminal attempt tkat spy. bad sub jects may make to subvert the present order of things, and to re produce the evils which we are still lamenting. Honour• to Lieut Conde, and to the brave and loyal men of his party ! (A true copy.) " 0' DON N EI, L. " A LVA It EZ, Major." • PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE. • • " l i daultuis:Auatirr iB. " The British Minister, Sir NVilliarn A'Ootirt,isabout to leave for the higher and more important'rhission áf Ambassador to Portugal, very much to the rsgret of the Btitish subjects residing in Spain. Those at a distance felt themselves and their intet ests secured by hating a Minister of so much ability and tirmness ;.and. those who came in personal contact were delighted at meeting the gentleman and the man of business; they found them; selves at their most perfect ease, and the subject of their 1.. affairs attended to with the utmost earnestness. But here there is little or nothing to do, everything asked on the part of the British Government has been negatived ; nothing to be negotiated for ; so that a mere statement of occurrences is all a Minister has to .end hoar % In Portugal, on the eve of altering the Government and forming a Constitution, a British diplomatist, so greatly endowed, is rarticularly necessary. The Constitution should be so moulded by the British Minister as to con ciliate all parties and interests ; the insurer of its own stability, and supported and protected by the British Government, be the north star for the Peninsula, and other Continental nations. There needs no other coun terpoise to Russian or Holy Alliance influence. The Constitutionalists wish to see a rising in Galicia ; it would distract attention, and they think final success would ensue. There is only a French regiment in Co runna : but allowing that they are too sanguine, and that this first movement of Tarifa should be put down, we have, nevertheless, a pretty clear proof of what is going on and must take place—it will be the first of a series of disturbances. We have before witnessed the successive attempts of Porlier, Richard, and Lacy, when the despotism was of a milder nature, and the prospect was flattering until the grand triumph took place.— The flame is smothering throughout the country. It will break out in various places till they all combine in one grand mass. " Whoever has observed the proceedings of this Go vernment, has witnessed the tapid strides it has been making to its own destruction. All, all are disgusted. Ot the Grandees, whose number is from 90 to 100, only fifteen are said to enjoy what is called the King's favour. Above five-sixths are wandering, and in exile, in Va rious parts of the kingdom, Italy, France, and England. In two of the prisons of Madrid there are neatly 800 prisoners, accused of political offences, whose trials seem never likely to come on. The true Spanish system is, to punish first and try afterwards. The extreme heat and close confinement has engendered the jail fever, and their situation must be horrid. " As to this attempt of the refugees, there is little doubt but it will fail, and the immediate result be the destruction of those engaged in it—but as to the good or evil ulterior consequences, that is another question ; in the present state of things, consequences of either the one kind or the other it must inevitably have. For to those who are on the spot, and see what is passing, it is demonstrated-1. That the present Government, though restored eighteen months since, has not yet taken the slightest root, because it has not sought to organise properly any department of the State ; and on the contrary, by perverse and imprudent measures, it has succeeded in sowing discontent amongst every class and party. 2. That there exists, if not an apparent, at least a real anarchy, and that not only amongst the people, but amongst those in authority. S. That were it not fur the presence of the French troops, the whole system, or rather the want of system, would fall to the ground like a house of cards. 4. That ii prompt and efficacious remedies are not applied, the presence of the French, supposing them even to be reinforced, will not be much longer sufficient, for although they may repress the popular ferment in 11 , e places where they are stationed, yet it is impossible tl.ey can, spread themselves all over the kingdom.-5. It is evi dent that the slightest movement upon any one point has an immediate and elect' ical effect upon all others, filling some with affright and stupor, while it inspires others with confidence and exultation. This must necessarily be the case where there is such a general discontent and fierce party spirit fomented by the Government. is The slightest incident, I repeat, is sufficient to throw into confusion the population of this country, de moralized and devoid of every principle of honour and delicacy as it is, owing to the long night of ignorance in which it has been kept. Besides, the people are so wretchedly poor that the sight of a piastre is sufficient to make them instantly change from one opinion to its opposite. 6. That the scanty number of troops orga nized from the bands of the Faith, or the old soldiers who joined them on the entrance of the French army, can by no means be relied upon by the Government. They are completely demoralized ; and, as a proof, it is said that at Tarifa the refugees were joined by whole companies from the troops under General O'Donnell. " The great body of the people, without interest or opinion in the political question, are formidable, horn their being so easily worked upon by the Priests and Monks; but even this influence is diminishing consider ably here, the re-establishment of the tithes, and the excessive severity with which they are exacted. On the other hand, the people are exasperated by the abusive manner in which the taxes are levied by the Alcades, who for the most part are Escrikands (notaries), real vampires, who suck the blood from the people, and par ticularly from the better sort of farmers, the only class in the country who appear to have preserved any good seose or steadiness of conduct. This class feel bitterly the disorder of the Admiaistratioa, and are but too deeply convinced of the little amelioration effected by the King's return to absolute measures. When, added to these things, you consider the various parties into which have the exclusive Royalists who formed the bands of the Faith, and the mortal war which they wage against each other, on account of plunder, places, and employments—when you consider their inveterate hatred and persecution of all those whose talents or character give them umbrage, as their own ignorance and inaptitude to fill any public functions is apparent to every one—add to this the rage and suffering at the mon,aynient of their pay and salaries, at ising from the exhaustion of the treasury, and you will be able to form some idea, though a faint one, of the chaos into whioh, this unfortunate country is plunged. The trovern meni is without nerve, and incapable of exacting obe dience ; so that the Authorities of the most petty village will and do act independently. The amnesty is nothing inore than an inst! ument of vexation and extoition, in stead of a bond of union and security. Its fine, France must Dankly declare for either one patty or the other, for At present they are both inimical to her —the Libe rals,tidi s: o s gth o m od m r eason,ock m ockery y for the f t hneom amnesty,uti c c . th a e nd c a t p h i e - Uhl a Royalists, if possible, dislike the French still more ) . be s causeair free course hat; not been allowed to their mad. n . es and vengeance. -
