• subject; and the following is the answer be received on tite 14th of September last : " Sir—l have received the letter which you did me the ho nour to write to me relative to M. Galant. The ordinary tri bunals, whose province it is to decide upon ordinary offences, of which this individual is accused, and which caused him to be sent nut of the country, not having yet pronounced their decision, I regret that I cannot give you the information which you so. licit —Receive, &c. "PRINCE POLIGNAC." Thus there is no more hope for the unfortunate Galotti. In stead of being restored to France, which had the right to demand him, and to obtain his restitution, he is given up to the Neapolitan Tribunals charged to pronounce upon ordinary offences; that is to say, after his identity has been verified, to send him to punish- meat. The former Ministry acknowledged its fault, and promised not to allow the honour of France to be compromised. It also posi tively declared that Galotti should not perish, and thu be should return to the hospitable soil of France. The new Ministry, how .ever, repudiate every thing honourable which is attached to such a resolution. Would Isl. de Polignu desire that the victim should pay with his blood for the strange and fatal mistake of M. PortaHs? Fusco FUNns.—Paul, OCT. B.—ltentes Five per Cents. 1071. 50c. 45e. 40c.

This morning, dispatches of great importance were re ceived at the Foreign Office from the Honourable ROBERT GORDON, our Ambassador at Constantinople. They were brought by the King's Messenger, in the Attwood, from Rotterdam, whose arrival is elsewhere noticed. The extreme impudence of the Times, when he feels that he has committed himself to such a degree as to make retraction necessary, is as notorious as the aban donment with which he has lately lent himself to every depraved advocacy, inseparable from the fas et nefas championship of the Noble Duke's ad ministration. We need not remind our readers up to how late a period this most profligate Journal has been ringing in the public ear the moderation of the Emperor NICHOLAS. Even in the face of the declaration of the invading General at AIDOS, that he would follow up Ws victories as far as Div USE PROVI DENCE would permit him—even after the triumphant occupation of Adrianople, and the peremptorily an nounced intention of DIESITSCH to march upon the expecting Capital—we find our contemporary asserting, not in one solitary and accidental paragraph, but in a series of articles followed up with the design to make an impression, that the Emperor NICHOLAS has given yet no ground of fair suspicion to Europe, that he would de part from the moderate professions which he volunteered at the beginning of the war. The new levy of 300,000 troops, after the Turkish empire was virtually sub jugated, was altogether passed over by our contemporary, as if it portended nothing ulterior; and the "disclaimer" of ambitious projects, put forth by the wily Autocrat to tranquillise the simple Cabinets—Gon save the mark of Cabinet simplicity !—was insisted upon as more credit worthy, than these signs and indications of an antici pated protracted warfare. And what has been the object of this unprincipled print, in so misrepresenting actual as well as probable things? Want of sagacity he can not plead—nor want of correct intelligence, as to what was passing around hini—since we all know the talented mind of our contemporary, and the various and vast resources at his command for exter nal information. The lever which he works has been perfected into such amazing power by the combi nation of circumstances, that it requires only to be rested upon the fulcrum of public integrity, to exalt the moral destinies of the world. But his corrupt and de praved inclinations have led him to coalesce with men, who are leagued together to perpetuate social and politi cal abasement: with the METTER N ICl's, the Pomo N ACS, aud—proh pudor, that we must add—the WELLiso xs . For this it is—this sordid, and selfish, and slavish feeling—that he has deserted the people who•were once proud of him as their champion and their organ, to unite himself with the enemies of their prosperity, to identify himself with unconstitutional power, and justify the diplomatic antics of an incapable soldier. The Times has no other object in thus falsifying the condition of things, than that of recommending himself to the Noble Duke, through whose mismanagement such a crisis has supervened in Europe. He knows in his heart, that the aggrandisement to which Russia has been permitted to arrive, will infallibly bring with it encroach ments and pretensions alarming to greater Powers than the Ottoman, and that them pretensionaintuit enwrap the .. whole Continent—as well as England—in•a war of repul sion, of which it is not easy to foresee the termination. He knows in his heart that Constantinople, the Dardanelles— all Turkey must finally, and at no distant period, belong to Russia : that they have been won by fair conquest, while England looked on, an uninterfering spectatress ; though at one conjuncture—while the Russian armies camped upon the Pruth —her little finger held up in signal of disapprobation, would have compesced the in vader within his natural geography. _ We have not been able to resist these remarks, ob- serving--as no doubt our readers will have observed also —the systematic attempts which the Times is now making, to induce an opinion that he had prepared the public mind for issues which are fast developing ; and to avert the mingled pelting of ridicule and exprobration, which he feels to be already descending on his Pozzo-di- Borgoed columns. Listen to his language yesterday : " We have more than once prepared the public to ex pect rigid terms for Turkey, and though we cannot now lay before them the particulars, they will, we fear, find their apprehensions and our own confirmed ere long." And again—to-day : "It requires no ghost to tell us that Russia has driven a hard bargain with the vanquished enemy !" No, to be sure; but what ghost did it require to tell him that this would be the case, when Count DIEBITSCII pledged himself to the subjugation of the empire at Aides ? When the imperial Ukase followed up the passage of the Balkan, with mighty military or ganizations in the heart of Russia—what need of a " ghost," to tell our contemporary that territorial aggran dizement was her fixed and certain purpose ? But he cannot conceal it now : his friend Pozzo nt BORGO has left him upon his fundament, to get up from his ridiculous and dishonourable posture, amid the cachinna tions and scorn of the country. We cannot enlarge to day on the subject of the indemnities asked by NICHOLAS : suffice it to remark, that he insists upon more than Turkey can pay, if she were to sacrifice—for this, at best momentary, ransom—even two years of her entire revenues ! And the cream of the joke--not for us, but for General DIEBITSCH...4S, that the Russians are to stay in Rumelia, till they get the cash from the SULTAN. Which arrangement is—in fact —only confirming them in possession. THE QUARTER'S REVENUE. We inserted a paragraph in our paper of yesterday, to the effect that there would be an increase in the Revenue of the Customs for the current quarter, owing to the large amounts paid for duties on Grain and Flour, and which at the time we believed to be correct ; but from more authentic information, which may be securely trusted, notwithstanding the large amounts paid for duties on Corn, unless the payments of the present week should be such as to alter the result as it appeared on Monday last, the Customs will exhibit a de crease. Contrary, however, to all expectation, from the pre vailing complaints of distress—the Excise, Stamps, and Assessed Taxes, will all exhibit an increase. The quan tity of foreign grain and flour admitted for consumption within the present quarter, will amount, of all kinds, to nearly a million of quarters : but the duties on wheat have varied [from 10s. Bd. to 235. Bd. per quarter, and it was at the low rate during the first week of July that the bulk of the duty on wheat was paid : end as sugar—being the greatest article subject to Customs Duty—has not been cleared for consumption to so great an extent as last year, the Customs on the whole, do not produce a result so large in amount as was expected. CITY. Twzi.vs o'CLogic. In the Foreign Market nothing doing, and the prices are as yesterday. The Consol Market up to the present time :is in a stagnant state. Consols, which left oer yesterday at 89b I for the Account, opened at the same price; at present may be quoted a shade lower, 89b and 891 for next Account. HALF-PAST ONE O'CLOCK. Consols, which declined g per cent. in the early part of the morning, have spin resumed their former price, and may be quoted at nug for the Account, and 871 seUers for November. The business doing is of little importance. Next Monday private transfers wiU be open at the Bank for the following Stocks :—Reduced 4 per Cents. 1826 ; Se per Cents, Reduced; Long Annuities ; and Life Annuities. The above trans fers, it is supposed, will give some animation to the market. The Foreign Market has been very active this morning. Brazil Stock has been in great demand, owing, it is said, to favourable accounts baying been received from Rio Janeiro : it has got up e per cent. Greek Stock and Portuguese have also improved. Private letters from Mexico, of the Bth Aug. are favourable to the cause of the liberty of that republic. It appears that, since the expedition has landed, all parties have united, and are using the greatest exertions for the destruction of the invaders. A rich landholder of the island of Madeira having left, and who is arrived at Lisbon, states that island to be on the eve of a great commotion. An insurrection was daily expected to take place. In addition to the horrible list of cruelties perpetrated in Portugal, recorded in another part of this paper, we have seen a private letter setting forth that two respecta ble gentlemen—Custom-House Officers—supposed to be rich, because they dealt partially in discounts, and sus pected to be liberal, were seized by order of Don MIGUEL, and cast into adu , ,n. When this letter left Lisbon, these unhappy vi were dying, and had just received the sacrament. At sunset, every shop and door are shut ; and no one is suffered to appear in the streets, except Royalists and Police. Considerable fears having been entertained for the safety of the Rotterdam Steam Packet, which left that city Sunday morning last, we are happy in conveying the intelligence that she put into Dover yesterday, having weathered the gale. In the Attwood, put into Ramsgate from Rotterdam, a King's Messenger arrived, and instantly set off for Downing-street. We have . reason to believe that the arrival of his MAJESTY at Brighton will take place between the 12th and 15th instant. A detachment of Life Guards (we believe the Ist) is expected on the 12th ; and Sir HER.. BERT TAYLOR is undenstbod to have been at the barracks with Colonel TnAcs; w cid., of the 15th Hussars, on Saturday, for the quarters and duties of the Guards and of the ing's assort. The Guards are to do the town duty, and the 16th are to be in more immediate attendance upon the King.—Brighton Gazette. FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE. Emil Fitz,/Mims, at his seat, Milton.

It is rumoured that Mr. MoN TAG V E GORE, nephew of Colonel GORE LA NGTON (who represented the county of Somerset in five Parliaments), will be a candidate for -- .. that distinguished honour at the next election.—Ereter Alfred. The Vestry of Mary-la-bonne held a meeting on Wed nesday for the purpose of concerting the means of an swering Colonel Row AN's demand of nearly 12,0001. Friday evening the most Noble Marquis of HASTINGS arrived at Loudon Castle. Major and Mrs. HERVEY SMITH, with their family, removed last week from Plymouth to Park Cottage, at Stoke Damerel. Captain Dlc lc Eli sox, R.N. C.B. arrived at Plymouth by the Brunswick steamer, from Portsmouth, on Sunday last. His arrival was announced to the inhabitants by a merry peal front the bells of St. Andrews, on Monday morning. KEAN, before he went to London, was engaged and discharged as a bad actor from the Bristol company ! From thence he went to Exeter, which city possesses a far more discriminating audience, and he consequently became a favourite. When the season closed at that place, he walked to Bath, a distance of 140 or 150 miles, and offered himself to the Bath manager for thirty shillings per week, but was rejected ! This happened a very short time only before he was engaged in London. ROWLAND STEPHENSON.—Recent advices from New York mention, that R. STEPHENSON had been entirely under the guidance of a certain person of the name of who was a boon-companion of his in London many years ago. It is likewise reported, we know not with what truth, that STEPHENSON had given directions to his friend to purchase the estate and mansion of Doctor SHIPPEN, near Bristol, Pennsylvania, where he means to reside —and, no doubt, have his amily out to join him. iprivate Gentleman, who is a very great sufferer by the late banker, very recently applied to Mr: PEEL to use his influence with the Government of the United States to give up Mr. S. for examination by his creditors and assignees ; to which application the following answer has just been given :—" Whitehall, Sept. 3, 1829. Sir,-1 am directed by Mr. Secretary PEEL to acknow ledge the receipt of your several letters. It is not neces sary for you to continue your communications to the Home Office. I am, Sir, your most obedient humble servant, —WILLIAM PEEL." BußY.—Thursday last, being the day appointed for the inauguration of the Chief Magistrate of this ancient borough, H. J. OAKES, a highly respected citizen, was unanimously elected. From indisposition, Mr. OAKES was unable to undertake the responsibility of his charge in public, and was sworn into office in his Chamber be fore R. M. Rote e, Esq. the Recorder, and some of the Members of the Corporation. The honours of the civic feast were undertaken by 0. R. OA K ES, Esq. in behalf of his son, at which were present the Duke of GRAFTON, Marquis of BRISTOL, Earl of EUSTON, Earl JERMYN, Lord ARTHUR HERVEY, and about 140 Gentlemen of the town and neighbourhood. Several 'excellent speeches were delivered on this interesting occasion, and many constitutional toasts drank with great cordiality. We are happy to add, that no serious consequences are ap prehended from the accident of the Mayor, the rupture of a small blood-vessel, which unfortunately happened the day before his election. When Netley Abbey belonged to the Marquis of HUNTINGDON, Mr. WALTER TAYLOR, of Southamp ton, contracted with that Nobleman for the purchase of so much of its materials as he could carry away in a cer tain space of time. Some of his relations considered the bargain as sacrilegious, and urged him not to be instrumental in destroying an edifice which had been consecrated to the DEITY. Their remonstrances had some effect, and though they were not of sufficient force to induce him to give up the prospect of gain which the contract held out, yet they dwelt so much on his mind as to occasion a dream one night, that the arch key-stone of the East window fell from its situation, and fractured his skull. He communicated the portentous dream to Mr. Watts (father of the celebrated Dr. Isaac Watts), who ad vised him to be by no means personally concerned in the demolition of the church. Taylor, however, scorn ing, as is too often the case, the advice he had solicited, proceeded in the work of devastation; and, in an exertion to take down a board from the window, loosened the fatal stone, which fell upon his head, and produced a fracture. The wound was not, at first, deemed to be mortal; but the instrument of the surgeon unhappily slipped in the operation of extracting the splinter, and, entering the brain, caused immediate death. LAMENT OF THE LAST CHARLEY. A FRAGMENT. The greets were wet, the night was cold, The Watchman was infirm and old; His filmy eye and purple nose Bespoke a life of scant repose. His lanthorn, now unlit and dull, Was carried by an aged troll ; The last of all his wives was she, The sole survivor out of three : For. lack-a-day! the second led— The first was number'd with the dead; And he, with this old shrew accurs't, Wish'd she'd been added to the first. He, too, was chang'd—for now no more, The morning hours he mumbled o'er— No more by midnight hap caress'd, At gin-shops was he welcome guest, Where 'circled there by Cyprians gay, He beard their hoarse discordant lay : Old times were chang'd, and watchmen too Had nothing now with time to do. The wise-heads of the iron age, Had blotted him from watch-house page ; And be, in tatters, sad and poor, Might beg, or starve, from door to door; For now no longer in his pow'r To tell the weather or the hour. He pau'd by Newgate's frightful waU, Where brother Charley late did call The striking hour, and now his eye Fell on the Giltspur Compter nigh; He pus'd the gate, then elns'd his glim, And pray'd it Deer might close on him. .. .. .. .. .. .. At length an ale-house op'ning near, Invited to a pint of beer ; And when the bast his wants supplied, And the old man was gratified.

When Lords and Knights in lonesome hour, He Ut sato their Ladies bow'r, And drunken dandies, in the street, Lost both their purses and their feet. 0! then were Charlie, proud and bold— Then was their happy age of gold— Then could they contributions raise On either sex is different ways, And give and take in charge at will, For moving on • or standing still; And then, as subtle as a fox, Could wake or sleep within their box : Now all their occupations cease, Supplanted by the New Police— Now may they view. with tearful eye, This blue-coated Goss d'armerie, Invented by some Send reSn'd, Who had blue-devils in his mind. •• ••• ••• ••• ••• ••• 0! game upon your hearts at steel— Oh cruel Wmustarou—Oh!—Pszt.. Cate►a daunt— (kith translation•) The rest is not daicast. • Alluding to t►e Watchman's mandate of " Move so." The Hallam' Borsen Halle, of the 24 Oct. received by the steamer, states that stocks are in great demand and scarce. There, discounts had fallen from 51 to 41 per cent. and the new Polish Bonds have begun to be subject of speculation at Vienna. The harvest in Hungary is represented to have been unusually productive, and hopes are entertained that the vintage will be equally satisfactory. By accounts from Washington, it appears that Mr. REDELIO, the Brazilian Charge d'Affaires, has taken his formal leave of the executive, and is shortly to depart from the United States. An extraordinary courier arrived last Monday at Paris, with important dispatches to the Spanish Minister there; and afterwards was immediately dispatched to London. — Great preparations are making at Valence and Barcelona for the reception of the Qt: E'EN of Spain. Accounts from Naples of the 21st September, state, that his Majesty had lent the KING of Spain a large sum of money ; and that two barrels of gold bad been shipped for Spain, to defray the expences of the brilliant fetes which were preparing for the new QUEEN. A telegraphic dispatch has been received at Toulon stating that the Commander of the blockading squadron off Algiers, states that two Corsairs are ready to sail from that port, and warns the shipping not to leave their convoys. The private letters from Lisbon, by the Mail of yes terday, state that numerous murders are committed in the above capital by both parties, which causes great con sternation amongst the inhabitants. The curfew, which has fallen into disuse in most towns in the kingdom, still exists in Arundel. It com mences on " Mayor-choosing day," and continues through the winter. EDITORIAL AFFRAT.A fracas occurred in New Orleans on the 29th ult. between the Editors of the Argus and angrier, in consequence of an electioneering paragraph published by the latter. The Editor of the Courier, Mr. Dc St. Ramo, gives the following account of the affair, which was any thing but creditable to the parties concerned :—. l "rhe traitor came yesterday to Hewlett's Coffee-house, where I was seated looking at a game of backgamusee, and after having walked several times around me as I have been sines informed by several persons who have made their affidavits of the fact (for I did not see it myself) without daring to attack me, and atter having rallied a few assassin.like wretches of his species, be gave me, from behind, a blow with his fist in the face, which kept me on my chair stunned for several seconds. Having got over my surprise, I perceived, a few steps from me. the coward, the traitor, the infamous John Gibson, the editor of the .drgus, with his band in his breast, as in the act of drawing a weapon! I rushed upon him. and striking him with the end of my umbrella in the stomach, I made him lose his equilibrium, and, abandoning my umbrella, I jumped upon him, seized him by the throat with my two bands, and dragged or rather carried him to the reading table, a distance of about ten paces front the spot where the villain had bravely attacked me from behind. I threw him with all my strength on that table, his face upwards, and there I began torenew the strangling scene of Virginius, but seeing that the rascal would not give up his soul I let my right hand loose to take my penknife and open his guts, but I bad left my penknife at home, end my bands being my only weapon I began the strangling process spies when I perceived that the assassin, who bad already lost a part of his gigantic strength, had a pair et pistols and a dagger in the left pocket of his coat. I made sense efforts to seise the dense, hs order is nail the coward to the table when I bad carried him, bet as I was going is execute that meelterious set I was torn frees a peel that meld no leaser snipe me t h" a crowd of friends sad maim who thereby aided is pelirson who bad attacked eas teem behind, when Odes NA ampenehled with any thing Mke a afro site wespenos eppietereity is sleet his escape." pono • Li des( Esti T St Si
