Hardy to proceed up with the gen-boats, to remove the stakes, and to accompany the troops to the principal stockade, leaving Captain Skardon with the reserve of about onei hundred and eighty men, and the two brigades of guns, under Captain Hall, to act in concert with Capt. II ardy, as circumstances might render necessary. The column of attack, I regret to say, was led by the guides in quite a different direction to the place 1 wished to carry, and had to surmount obstacles never contemplated front the information received. The gallantry of the party, however, overcame every diffi • culty which presented itself, and drove the enemy from all his entrenched positions at the point of the bayonet, obliging him to take shelter in his usual place of reso. t. the j:.ngle, fram which a galling tire was kept up until he was dislodged by our troops. It be n now half-past three, pM. the detachment quite f ,tigned and exhausted for want of water, and finding that it was totally impracticable to advance by the road pointed out, the jungle being so very close as not to admit of a file of men abreast, and lined by the enemy, who had now opened a fire upon our rcar, and being about five mi:es distant from the boats, without any possibility of communication, and it appearing evident that we had been most treacherously stAceived, it was deemed prudent and advisable to rctum to tfie • boats so as to arrive in sufficient time to tccross the nu'lahs, w;.ich had so greatly impeded our advance. The ea.,.my re-occupied every hill and plain as we quitted, and continued firing on us from jingals and matchlocks, until checked by the arrival of the reserve, when a few well-directed rounds from the six pounder Feld-pieces dislodged them from their lurking places, and effectually silenced their fire, which enabled us to re-embark the whole force by six, r However much it is to be lamented that our enter prize has not been crowned with that success which the information I had received gave me every reason to.ex peer, as well as the loss we have sustained, yet I trust his Excellency the Commander-in-Chief will view it as trifling, compared with the information which has been acquired respecting the harbour of Ramree and its lo calities, by the zealous and indefatigable exertions of Captain Hardy, and which no doubt may prove of the utmost importance should Government deem it expe dient hereafter to send an adequate force to take pos sess; in of, and occupy it. F.oin my own personal observation, if I may be per raittrd to offer an opinion, the island is particularly; strotg ; arid from the localities of the country, its na tural defences and means of resistance, it will require a forcer f at least fifteen hundred or two thousand men, in eluding five hundred European troops, with a due pro po:tiiin or artil:ery and pioneers to take arid maintain it. %Viten every man composing the force did his duty, it is difficult to discriminate individual merit ; but I should consider myself wanting in duty were I not to bring to the nonce of his Excellency the gallant conduct of Lieutenant Bell, of the Bombay European regiment, c numanding the marines, and of Lieutenant Cox, com manding the light company of my own Regiment, who ware conspicuously forward on every occasion. chewing an example to their men, which did them honour and credit. To Captain Hardy, who commanded the naval part of the force, and who was engaged with the gun-boats during my absence, endeavouring to remove the stakes and force a passage up the creek to the enemy's breast wen k, and whose Officers and seamen exerted themselves to their utmost, my sincere and grateful thanks are due, as well as for his cordial co-operation and assistance on s every occssioa wl'etever eie public service required it.

It was affirmed by the Times, :tni de:ied by other;, that the Mexican Legislature had refused to ratify the Tr.ntity by which England, the first Power on earth relation to Mexico, had held out the hand of fell3wship to that infant Re public, and acknow!edged its sovcreign y. This asser tion is best answerei by the ratified Treaty itself, an abstract of which we now publish, and on which the Journal allu.'ei to makes no comment. To us it is clear that the rumour in question was successfully imposed on the Times as a Stock-jobbing trick, to lower the Mexican Stock tor a time, wh:ch it did, in order to raise it again suddenly when the Treaty should arrive, as was daily to be expected ; the fabricators expecting to profit by both circumstances; and we say this on good grounds. The third article of the existing Mexican Constitution declares the Catholic Religion to be that of the State. t 4 The nation protects it by just and wise laws, arid prohibits the exercise of any other." The actual President, General G LTA DA LUPE Vnrront was chosen to that high station no less for his firm and honest devotion to the Rep•nblic.rn cause, than for his deep attachment to the Ronan Catholic Religion, by which he is universally popular with the nation. Such a mart must have known that, in relax'ng the Consti tution so far as to secure protection to the English set tlers in the exercise of their religion, he would have had to encounter some opposition, from the simple pre judices, not fanaticism; of • a people among whom liberal sentiments are but of yesterday's growth.-- Yet he fearlessly negotiated the Treaty securing such protection, through his Minister here, General MICHEL• urrt, •which sue' completed in December, and an-. nounced to the other foreign Ministers of Europe, by iilr. Secretary CANNING, on the Ist day of this year. This great and deCisive act was received in Mexico, about the b-ginning of February last, with transports joy an i every demonstration of public exul• tation; and early in April last, General Mica:must, and his friends here in London, %vere in possession 'of General ViotottrA's letters of illat.ks, written in ' terms of en , husiastic approbation; and not a doubt than existed that the treaty would be gra:cfully ac czoted. The Mexican Stockholders, and all those in the Alley, who are mist intimately in cot respondence with Mexico, could not hut be w.vore of this fact ; and therefore we are led to conclude, that bile raising doubts on the subject, just before the arrival of the Treaty, and dissen,inating those doubts through the medium of our most respectable Public Journals, is one of those cunning manoeuvres to serve individual speculations, anJ injure the unsuspecting proprietors, against which ti,e press cannot be too much on its guard. The Order in Council for carrying the Quarantine Laws into effect, was, as we stated, published in a Supplement to the Gettve yesterday. A mistaken rumour bad gone abroad, that lini.ters intended to repeal these salutary laws; nothing could ba m n:e erroneous: all fears are, however, removed, by the pul•lication of the new regulations, which, while they remove some unnecessary restrictions, contain precautions which ate fully adequate to guard against contagion. The immediate admission of vessel; from the Levant with clean bills of health, which formed the chief ground of alarm (as it is well known how easily such bills were obtained from Consuls abroad), and which was repeatedly allowed last year, and at the commencement of this, can no longer be practised; such vessels and their passengers must perform a quarantine of fifteen days, and all their goods, wares, and merchandize, must undergo the usual airings. Vessels with suspected or foul bills of health are to perform one of.tbirty days, and the goods and merchandize to go through all the airings and fumigations which have ever been practised in such cases. Should any pestilential accident occur among the crew, passengers, or other persons on hoard. during the probationary airing of the goods, the whole quarantine is to re commence, the sick persons to be sent to the hospital ship, the external guard to be immediately doubled, and notice to be sent with all possible dispatch to the Lords of his Majesty's Privy Coun cil, that they may give such orders as they may think necessary. Various stations are appointed round the United Kingdom, where all vessels with clean bills of health coming from the Me. diterranean or W.rst Barbary on the Atlantic Ocean, are to per form Quarantine. But the more effectually to guard against the introduction of the Plague into this country, it is ordered that any vessel on hoard of which it should appear, shall immediately, if to the Southward of Cape St. Vincent ; repair to some Lazaretto in the Mediterranean; and if to the Northward of that Cape, to Milford Ihven, there to perform Quarantine. All trading vessels from the Levant or Barbary, not having the plague or infectious diseases on board, but without clean bills of health, are to repair to Standgate Creek or Milford Haven, " and nowlery the ;" and all ships of war or transports coming from the same quarter, to the Motherbank, Portsmouth, where full quaran. tine is to be performed. The Order also gives a list of the questions which are to be put to vessels before they are admitted at any port, and a detailed description of the most minute precautions which are to be taken with respect to the most Wiling article on board before it is cliowed to reach the store. At a time when the plague rages in Egypt, and we have just opened a brisk trade with the very seat of Its ravages, a strict enforcement of all thy -laws of self-pteservation was necessary, and we rejoice that our - Quarantine Code still preserves its efficiency.— The publication of this Order in Council will not only appease alarm in this country, but will materially serve our merchants abroad, whose vessels were submitted in the ports of certain States to various delays, on the ground that since our Quarantine Laws had been altered, ships coming from England could not be cons!. dcted clean. This forenoon we received Frankfort Papers to the sth instant. They contain, from the Hydra Gazette. some desponding reflections on the loss of Navatino. These Papers also explain the nature of the Loan of the Messrs. ROTHSCHILDS to the Grand Duchy of Hesse. FRANKFORT, AUGUST 2. In the Courier Francais of the 29th July. there is a letter signed D. G. respecting the loan which the Grand Dually of Hesse has just concluded with the house of Rothschild. Ili. D. G. finds that there is some artifice in the statement respecting this loan. " Fur," says he, " if Heise can borrow at 4 per cent. France might do the same, and it would be wrong to continue paying a higher interest." But M. not being a friend to the conversion of the Rentes, l pledges himself that the house of Rothschild has not lent at 4 per cent. but in 4 percents. which is very different. Being on the spot, and having the plan of the loan before us, we have reason to think ourselves better informed than M. D. G. and we pledge ourselves to him, that this loan, in the form of a lottery, redeemable in 50 years, is net concluded in Four per Cents. but at Four per Cent. We now add that it was filled up in a very few days, that the house of Rothschild was far from being able to com ply with all the applications made to it, and that the loan, which (Tuned at 9C I-3d, is already at 99. VIENNA, JULY 23. The Gazette of Hydra, of 30th May, has the following observa tions on the fall of Navarino : " We have lost a fortress which we did not take from the enemy without many efforts and great loss of blood; a fortress, the situa tion and excellent port of which essure inestimable advantages to those who are in possession of it, if they know bow to avail themselves of them. Alai we were not yet sensible to what enemy we had opened the door. We looked upon him at first with a foolish contempt, and we are severely punished for it.— We neglected to attack him while he was still weak, and now we want a force twice as strong as at Ent to defend ourselves against him. But perhaps our negligence and foolish contempt of the enemy are net our only faults, nor the only cause of the success of the enemy. Our past divisions, though they have long since ceased to manifest themselves in scenes of open violence, have, however, left deep roots, from which new evils will arise unless we are on the watch." We have received the French Papers of Monday, and the Fide of Tuesday. The latter states, on the authority of the Augsburg Gazette, that the arrival of the Captain Pacha at Modon was confirmed, and that on the 5d of July, between 5000 and 4000 Egyptian troops had been landed at Navarino, and had set out without delay to hasten to the assistance of Isms PACOA, who was surrounded on all sides by the Greeks in the interior of the Morea.—Advices from Zante, dated July 7, say, that it was COLO. COTILOWS son, who, with a small corps, attacked the Egyptians be fore they entered Tripolieu, while his father, with the main army, passed skilfully between them and the coast, to cut off their retreat.. Successful on several points,youngCoLonovaont was,however,forced ultimately to yield to numbers, but not, it is said, before be had , inflicted a loss of 1000 men on the enemy. He then scattered hiss corps amidst the mountains, and joined the other Greek Captains, who, as soon as lasiinix had reached and passed Tripolizza, which was burnt down, immediately occupied all the passes in his rear.—' It dues not appear that the Turks have made any impression on Missolongit • Accounts from Damascus say, that the financial measores of th. Porte had excited a gen era l commot i on .

Sultan intended to have all thp coins put out of circulation bought up, and to send an officer from Vonstantinople for the purpose. AU the magazine‘ were shut, and the people repaired to the Cadi,,whpla they placed on a palanquin to convey him to the Smelts. Then by cries and threats of killing the Governor and all the astkorities: unless the edict was revoked, the people got a Proclamation made, that all kinds of coin should remain in circulation tin the arrival of the Treasurer from Constantinople.

HAYMARKET TR EA T R E.—The Sleeping Draught was performed at this Theatre last night, for the first time during the present season. The part of Popelist was performed by Kum with considerable effect. Quite Correct, and Midas followed. The House was well attended. Accounts have just been received from New Zealand, of the arrival there of the Hope, Captain Moans, having touched there on her passage front New South Wales; her cargo consists of some of the finest wool imported from that colony, and may be daily expected to arrive in the Thames. This colony is daily rising in importance, and affording proofs of its peculiar fitness for the produce of this article, so important to the staple manufacture of this country. The recent accounts from Holland, received by private letters from Guelderland, state that the heats in that and the surrounding country have been great, to a degree before seldom known, the grass being entirely burnt up, and the thermometer fre quently at 91 degrees in the shade. The effects of the tot weather have been so great, that the cattle have everywhere been bowed and fed in the same way as it is customary to do in winter. There was little or no hope of relief from a good hay crop, the deficiency being great. MENTAL RESERVATION.—AIthough the lower orders of the Irish are famous for a species of ready wit, mingling volatility, and a rich vein of humour, th e y are no l es s marked by a quaintness of expression and mental reservation, calculated to gain time, evade inquiry, or having, that brought h o me to th e m whi c h th e y via to avoid : of this last complexion is Shelah's answer to a country M gistrate—" What's gone of your husband, Shelab ?"
