M. WALLER CLIFTON. ALGIERS. Sunda > 'se'nnight, his Majesty . s steam-ve•sel, LIGHT NINO, returned to Portsmouth, from Algiers. . The following extract from a letter from an Officer supplies some interesting particulars of the means taken to ob tain the submission of the Dey to our demands : " Algiers Road, July 26. 41 The LK:furs:ll4G steam-vessel parts company to day, with the Admiral's dispatches for England. I must acquaint you how disappointed we all are here at the termination of our affair with the Dey. On the 24th instant, the last of the bomb-vessels arrived from England, and every preparation being completed, we yesterday took up our stations (twenty-one sail), in a double line, before the town, at the distance of about 3.500 yards of the Lighthouse—the /ETNA leading.— The arrangements were excellently made, and our orders well defined ; and so far promised success.— About foilr o'clock, on anchoring, the enemy opened their file along their whole line of fortified works, by signal from the Palace: shells fell over our ships in all, directions ; we had no orders to fire, but we perceived that our Admiral hoisted a flag of truce, upon which the enemy's firing ceased ; negotiations were opened, which were continued until the evening, and this morn ing the treaty was concluded and signed. The Admiral of the Port, and some of the Chiefs, went on board the REVENGE to ratify the treaty with Mr. Macdonald. A salute has bees fired in celebration of the event by the city of Algiers, and returned by the same number of guns by the Admiral's ship, the REVENGE. We under stand the Dey has made something like an apology to the King of England, for the insult offered to the Bri tish Consul's flag, has agreed to faithfully observe all the terms in the Exmouth treaty, and consented that Mr. Macdonald, the Consul, shall return to his public duty. But having accompanied his expression of per sonal disposition respecting Mr. Macdonald, with a de claration of irresponsibility for his life, should he put his foot on shore again, that Gentleman has not thought proper, for the present, to resume his station ; but Mr. Durnford, the Secretary's Clerk of the REVENGE, (Mr. Sconce, the Secretary, having declined the honour), has been appointed Pro-Consul, ad interim. The result is, that Mr. Macdonald will return to Malta in the RE VENGE. The bombs were all ready to commence firing, had the treaty not been si,----' " THE EVENING STAR. LONDON.

We have received Jamaica Papers to the 13th ult. which confirm the previous accounts, that the spirit of insurrection among the Negroes had nearly if not wholly subsided, the advices from Montego Bay stating that one individual only of those implicated in the late con spiracy was absent, all the others having returned, or been brought in. We understand that the accounts received by Govern. n:ent are to the same effect. FROM TIIE JAMAICA ROYAL GAZETTE OF JULY 10. The Hussar, of 46 guns, Captain Harris, having en board Major-General Sir John Keane and suite, ar rived at Port Royal on Wednesday forenoon. His Ex cellency and suite landed immediately, and proceeded to head. carters. One company of the 92.‘1 Regiment returned in the Hussar; two companies were left at Sa. vannah-la-Mar, and one at Black River. EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM MANCHESTER, 6TH INST. There is no doubt* that the spirit of insubordination which existed in the neighbouring parishes was mani• fest here, but from the prompt measures taken, all is perfectly quiet, and there is reason to hope will long remain so." • FROM THE ROYAL GAZETTE OF JULY 3. M'e have much pleasure is congratulating the country on the speedy submissinn of the rebellion in lianoverPa; ish,and on the groundlessness of the rumours as they affected the Parish of Westmorland. Expresses vete yesterday received from Savannah-la-Mar, at the King's [louse, ith the most satisfactory accounts. Brave's Papers to the 21.4, Amsterdam to the 19th, and • 11Amburgh to the 14th instant, reached u, las; night. Their contents ate not inrii:ottant. One of them contains the Decree of the King of the NE TIIEULANDS, regulating the commerce with this coun try, which appeared in the STAR on Wednesday. It appears by these Taper..., that Austria is desirous of postponing the evacuation of the kingdom " of Naple s !gill next year. The Russian -Government is said to Ihare obtained from the Porte,' that its ships coming from the Black Sea should proceed into the Archipelago or the Mediterranean without being visited. It is said that the King of BAVARIA is to have an in terview with the Emperor of AUSTRIA next month, at Schoenbrunn, and that later in the season his IMPERIAL MAJESTY will meet the King of SARDINIA at Milan. We are without any late intelligence from Greece of interest. The Etoik of Saturday, however, contains fresh accounts of great losses suffered by the fleet of the Captain Pacha in various engagements with llydriot, Spezziot, and even Ipsariot vessels, and says that the latter saved a great part of their ships and riches. Advices from Smyrna state, that orders had been sent from Constantinople for the Seraskier to concentrate his forces, and advance into the Morea without delay. No reinforcement had, however, been sent him ; and it was thought his force was inadequate, in the face of a superior strength, to execute the enterprise. The E,toik states, on the authority of a letter from Odessa, dated July 24, " that Lord STRANGFORD was on the point of quitting that capital, to return to England, by way of Trieste, having obtained permission to repose after the fatigues.of the negociatioas in which he has been engaged for some years past." We have already alluded to some disturbances in Spain; and the Etoile of Saturday, in endeavouring to explain away the circumstances, rather cor:firms the account than otherwise. " Several Journals," says the Etoile, le speak to-day of an insurrection in the moun tains of Ronda and in Estremadura. We can assure our readers that there is nothing true in this account, except what we ate going to state." Now for the true account of the Etoik, which will not be found to differ much from the previous statements : —" On the 3d of this month," says the Etoik, « some Constitutional Spaniards appeared before Tarifa. They had friends in the place, which was guarded by only fifty or sixty men, and Tarifa was given up to them. The first thing they did was to proclaim the Constitu tion. At the same time a conspiracy was discovered in the camp of Saint Roche, by General O'Donnel, who has delivered up the guilty to military justice. It was the mountaineers of the Sierra de Ronda themselves who put down this movement. On the 4th an attack was attempted on Estepena. General La Tour. Froissac has sent two detachments of troops to the two points where this movement manifested itself. It is confined to an insurrection of 200 or 300 men." The proof that the Constitutionalists are once more in arms in the Peninsula, is farther strengthened by an affair which took place at Saragossa on the Ist instant, which is related by the Echo du Midi, and spews that the spirit of insubordination, if not of actual insurrec tion, had extended to that place. It compelled the Captain-General, Count d'EspAGNE, to put himself at the head of the regulars, to arrest and disarm great numbers of Royal Volunteers, who were afterwards dismissed from the service corps, as unworthy to serve the KING. A Proclamation was then issued, forbidding the carrying of arms of any sort, except by the serjeants and corporals who had no share in the affray ; and it was ordered that if more than four per sons were seen together in the streets they should be dispersed by patrols, and that any individual found car rying a sword, bayonet, or fire-arm, should be imme diately tried in a military manner as a seditious charac ter. The Journal de Toulouse also states, that insur rectionary movements had broken out in the vicinity of Alicant. All these accounts, which cannot be doubted, as they have passed the ordeal of the Censorship, an nounce that the pretended pacification of Spain by the Trench arms was illusory, and that affairs in that coun try are rapidly drawing to a crisis. The Etoile denies the truth of the report that the yellow fever had ap peared at Cadiz. By the Crisis, arrived at Portsmouth, and the James Cropper, arrived at Liverpool, New York Papers to the Ist instant have been received. These Journals contain no news either from Peru or Mexico. From Caraccas they quote advices to the Ist of July. It will be recol lected that when M. CHASSERIAU, the French Commis sioner to Colombia, landed in March last at Laguayra, he brought a letter from Count DONZELOT, the Gover nor of Martinique, written expressly for the purpose of contradicting the reports that France intended to assist Spain in reconquering her late Trans-Atlantic posses sions. The reply of General PAEZ, who had been ab sent on a j , ,urney into the interior, is now for the first time published, and is dated the 12th of June. It states on his part, that he never could have believed the French Government entertained an idea so inconsist ent with that neutrality which it had prescribed to it self from the commencement of the war. In proof of his sincerity, General PAEZ adds, that the alarm alluded to never prevailed in Venezuela, the department under his command, respecting the security of which he had felt so much assured, that he had been traversing the most diaant provinces of the interior during the last five months. Great exertions were making both at Caraccas and Laguayra to send men to the assistance of General BOLIVAR, in Peru, and a very strong corps was on the march for Puerto Cabello, to in embarked for Chagres. Those of our Readers who pay any attention to the Corn Laws, and who watch their practical operation, ate of ccurse aware that the average price of Oats, asl reported for the quarter ending the 14th of August, is such as to adroit foreign grain of that description into the British market—viz. 275. CJ. per quarter. The law upon the subject is, that when the average price of Oats shall reach 275. per quarter, so much of that ar zicle as sl►all have been imported from any foreign country before the 13t11 of March,lB22, may-be-teltenl out of granary for consumption, duty free. Oats bonded subsequently to the 13th of March, 1822, may now be taken out for consumption on paying four shillings per quarter duty, and 2s. additional for the first three months; as likewise any that may be imported within six weeks after those three months shall have expired, if from any port comprehended between the Bidassoa and the Eider. If, after the importation of any grain is permitted by 55 Gen. 111. or by the last Act of Par liament, 3 Geo. IV. it shall appear that the average price of that grain •for the first six weeks succeeding the quarterly periods for regulating the importation, shall have fallen below the import rates, the importa tion of such grain, from all places between the Eider, in Holstein, and the Bidassoa, on the Spanish frontier, shall cease, until the next quarterly average shall have been published in the London Gazette. THE; ARMY. Saturday's Gazette notifies his Majesty's pleasure to grant per mission to the 24th Regiment of Foot to bear on its colours and appointments, in addition to any other badges or devices which may have heretofore been granted to the Regiment, the word " Nivelle," in commemoration of the distinguished conduct of four Companies of the late 2d Battalion of the Regiment in the action in the River Nivelle. The detachment of invalids -which recently arrived at Ports mouth on board the Duchess of York transport from Barbadues, has been ordered to Chatham. A detachment of the men belonging to Chelsea Hospital, which have been raised for the three Veteran Companies, has been ordered to Chatham, preparatory to embarkation for Newfoundland. The 57th (the West Middlesex) Regiment of Foot is ordered, on being replaced at Cork by the 65th Regiment, to embark fur Chat ham, preparatory to its proceeding thence to New South Wales. The 48th (Northamptonshire) Regiment of Infantry is ordered, on being replaced in New South \Vales by the 57th Foot, to pro ceed to Madras. The head•yuarter division of the 19th Regiment marched from Castlebar on Monday, for Limerick. The inhabitants of Kilkenny have presented a most flattering ad dress to the 78th Highlanders, which left that district, for Dublin, on Monday. [For Military Promotions see first page.] MARY-LA-BONNE OFFICE-THIS DAY. RIOT IN CATO-STREET. GROSS ASSAULT ON THE WATCHMEN. John Lamb, a sturdy youthful Hibernian, was charged with as- sembling, with others not in custody, in Cato-street, and creating a most serious riot, between the hours of one and two o'clock yester day morning, and also with assaulting the watchmen, who with dif ficulty escaped without most serious injury. The facts of the case were, that a very considerable number of the sons of the Emerald Isle had quarrelled over their potent libations, and were bent on having a " glorious mill." Kelleman, the watchman, having the peace of the more quiet inhabitants before his eyes, interfered to prevent it, but instead of having due effect, one of the party roared out with Stentorian lungs, a Charky was massakring an Irishman. A general and simultaneous attack on the guardians of the night was the consequence, which, after a severe struggle, ended in the capture of the prisoner, who was taken to the watch-house, with strong marks of the horrors of warfare. The prisoner admitted that he had before been in custody on a similar charge, and that £lO was offered for his apprehension, but the bill of indictment ' was thrown out, and he was consequently discharged at the close of the Sessions. On the present occasion, the several witnesses fully proved the outrage, and the prisoner was ordered to find good bail; it was also stated, that nothing else could be admitted. THE KING. WINDSOR, AUG. 22.—This morning, his MAJESTY, attended by the principal part of the Royal Household, heard Divine Service performed by the Rev. Mr. SUM* NEE, at his private chapel, Cumberland Lodge. Her Royal Highness the Princess AUGUSTA heard Divine Service at Frogmore. The first object which the numerous visitants of this town express a desire to see, is the magnificent terrace belonging to the Castle, and we have seldom of late years beheld it so fashionably attended as this day. This delightful promenade, the favourite resort of all our Princes, from ELIZABETH to his present esteemed MAJESTY, was this day a scene of peculiar animation. —The band of the 2d Life Guards, and that of the Grenadier Guards, were stationed at a short distance from each other upon the North fi ont, and for two hours vied with each other in contributing to the delight of a most numerous and fashionable company, by the ' ability with which they performed the various musical pieces selected for the occasion. Mr. HUSKISSON arrived at Brusfels on Monday last with his family, from the Hague. The Princess AUGUSTA arrived at her residence at Frogmore on Saturday, from Bagshnt, where her Royal Highness had been remaining on a visit to the Duchess of GLOUCESTER during the absence of the Royal Duke.

The Marquis of WESTMEATII, and Lord HARTLAND have arived in Dublin, from England. The Earl of GLENGALL, who has been some time ill of the measles, is rapidly recovering from the effects of that disorder. Among the Officers who were on board his Majesty's sloop Hyannis., Captain HAT, supposed to have foundered in a dreadful hurricane which occurred off the Mauritius, in the Indian Ocean, during the night of the 23d February last, was Mr. Gamma GARNISH, eldest son of the Rev.

As a !woof of the immense number of travellers from the South to the North of Scotland, on Monday and Tuesday last, not fewer than 2CO coaches, chaises, gigs, &c. are said to have passed through Perth ; a great many of those were with Gentlemen for the moors. In the Edinburgh Police Court last week, a man of the name of Wilson was accused of a most brutal outrage, committed upon the person of a very young girl of the name of Mackay. Wilson, it appeared, had intrud e d hi mse lf i nto a p r i vate h ouse, where the girl happened to be, and, without the slightest provoca tion, beat her until she was covered with blood. The brute was not sent to the tread-mill, but fined a guinea. Saturday, at twelve o'clock, Peckham Fair was pro claimed : the unfavourable state of the morning pre vented the assemblage to witness the ceremony trop being numerous. . HAYMARKET THEATRE.

JOSEPH BONAPARTE, whose botanical studies we no ticed a few days ago, has arrived at Portsmouth with his suite, in the Crisis, from New York. The Ex-King of Spain and Naples had engaged the whole cabin. lc is the first time that lie ever visited this country ; indeed LuctEN is, we believe, the nitly. member of the family who ever set foot on the British shore. The object of the visit of his brother JOSEPH is not stated. The present harvest throughout England promises abundance. In Norfolk, Suffolk, Gloucestershire, and the neighbouring counties, the wheat crop is reported as most productive. Through Devonshire, Worcester, and Somersetshire, the harvest is already advanced ; and but for the late unsettled weather, would be even more forward. ILI Kent it has also commenced with the fairest hopes, and samples of new oats have been already brought to Maidstone market. From Ireland the harvest reports are just as favourable; and all through the Continent the crops are stated to be equally abundant. A Greek artist, of the name of PEZZANES, has just finished a picture representing Lord Briox after his death. The artist, it seems, saw the illustrious defender of Greece just after he expired, made a drawing and painted a picture from it in Italy, while his imagination was still inspired by this interesting subject. About three weeks ago James Homer, of Raunds, and William Wood, of Oundle, both in the - county of Nor thampton, were committed to Aylesbury gaol, to hard labour for a calendar month, on a charge of collecting money under false pretences. The Buckingham Chro nicle says, "it since appears they are duly licensed preachers, and that they were deputed by a religious sect who call themselves the Baptist Revivalists, .n cel lect money lOr paying the expense of a Clivel erected at Rauuds. A petition, signed by Christopher ‘Villiams, and twelve other persons of this sect, has been sent to the Hon. Robert Smith, AI.P. to interfere in behill of the confined preachers." The damage done by the late inundations in Bolre• mia, caused by the long continued rains, to buildings, Meadows, gardens, bridges, and dykes is estimated, in the circle of !Worst, at 330,000 florins; in that of Kauzim, at above 500,000; and in that of Pilsen, at nearly 250,000 fl nips , exclusive of the loss arising teem the carrying away of the earth from the fields, and the covering the meadows with sand and stones to the depth of several feet. The Swiss journals also give a frightful description of the ravages caused by a hail -storm, which desolated a great part of the country of Argovia,en the 30th of July. The manners of Lord Loughborough were couciliat. ing and agreeable, and there was a kindness in his man ner of granting a favour which greatly enhanced iis value. He would often say, when he gave away pie ferment, and 'store particularly to those whose merit was their only recommendation to him, " Go to my secretary, and desire hint to prepare the I:resew-gam immediately, or I. shall have some Duke or great man , make application, whom I shall not be able to refuse.'
