dructema. YontbfulAoyouu, animated, and droll, los laugh bub bled up from her heart, and her tears swelled out ingenuously from the deep spring of feeling. Her countenance was all expression, without being all beauty—her form, then light and ulastie—her Bell. ble limbs—the juvenile but indeseribablejraces of her every move ment, impressed themselves, as I perceived, indelibly upon all who attended even bet earliest performances. Her expressive features and eloquent action at all periods harmo nised blandly with each other—not by artifice, however skilful, but by intellectual sympathy; and when her figure was adapted to the part she assumed, she had only to speak the words of an author to become the person he delineated. Her voice was clear and diw doct, modulating itself with natural and winning ease; and when exerted in snag, Its gentle dote-like melody formed the most capti vating contrast to the convulsed and thundering bravura. She was throughout the untutored child of Nature: she sang without ef fort, and generally without the accompaniment of instruments ; and whoever heard her " Dead of the Night;" and her " Sweet Bird," either In public or private, if they had any soul, must have surren dered at discretion. To close—both instruction and amusement these de lightful •olumes afford, and they are indeed calculated to please every class of readers: for here we have fact, fancy, historical anecdote, and pleasant remarks on characters eminent either for talent, eccentricity, or mo ral worth. We have recently, in a literary notice of the Memoirs of Judge Jeffreys, expressed our approbation of that important production, and again we repeat our praise with shanks to the highly respected and spirited Publisher, for a bountiful supply of excellent works, and which, from the respectable manner in which they are got up, reflect the greatest credit on his talents' and exertions.

We received this morning Brussels Papers to the 21st. They contain intelligence from Constantinople to the 15th ult. but it merely refers to the Treaty of Navigation lately concluded between Sweden and the Potte, which is spoken of as a base concession on the part of the former, as she is pledged by it to pay a tax to the Tur kish Government, for every vessel under her fltg, which is admitted into the Black Sea. It is much more easy to assign, however than to prove, base ness in a transaction of this kind ; and if it can be brought home at all to any party, it is not to a weak State, like Sweden, but to the European p.mers generally, for conniving at the levying of tribute money upon their commerce. But we doubt, whether the imposition of a duty on vessels proceeding horn the Archipelago to the Black Sea, can be called with any propriety an exaction on the part of the Turkish Govern men; as the latter must be at some expense to keep the navigation free and secure ; and it is but reasonable that those nations, which participate in its benefits, thralld defray a portion of its costs. Should the demand be exorbitant, it would then be the right, as well as the duty of the latter, to oppose it; but to a fair impost, we cannot see how any reasonable ob jection can be made. Whether the sum of 500 piastres (about 12/. sterling), which every Swedish vessel has to pay which proceeds with a cargo into the Black Sea, be an exorbitant one or not, we must leave to more competent judges to decide. If the vessel prbeeeds in . ballast, it pays only half that sum; and when it returns with a cargo, provided it be destined for Constantinople, it is free from all charges ; but if it is bound for any post beyond the Dardanelles, it has to make another pay ment of 500 piastres for its Erman. It is stated that the provisions of this Treaty have produced a powerful sensation amongst the members of the Diplomatic Body ,at Constantinople, particularly as it sets up a preceden t against whet nations, which, like Denmark, Spain, Naples, and Tuscany, desire to be admitted to the navi gation of the Black Sea, and which will now be obliged to consent to what is termed, " this humiliating tributa b " It is then stated, that the Swedish Ambassador, after having performed .4 this meritorious act," left the Turkish Capital on an excursion to the ruins of Troy, a hoping doubtless that the irritation will be allayed during his absence." It would almost appear from the ♦ast importance, attached to this transaction, that the European Diplomatists were at a loss for intatestingl topics, to occupy their time and attention, and that they felt much less interest in the progress of the negocia. l tions, relative to the Greeks, than the subject has excited here and in other Europa's: Capitals. The following is an extract from the Brussels Papers: " The Hague Gazette says,—We learn that Major General Van den Bosch and M. Gulje,.Chief Inspector in the Department Of the Indirect Tales and Excise In South Holland, have been intrusted by his Majesty with missions to our Colonies In the West Indies: the first, as we are assured, as Commissary General, the second to regulate the taxes in those colonies. M. German', Councillor of the Legationit Rome, is still at Brussels. Nothing bas transpired respecting the dispatches and communications which he brought to the Government." We also received this morning Frankfort Papers to the 17th, but they merely announce the death of his Serene Highness Prince CNA AEU A LEXANDIR, of Tour and Taxis. He had an apoplectic stroke on the 9th, and expired on the 15th, in the 58th year of his age, having been born on the 20th February, 1770& The Aigenteine Zeitung, which likewise came to hand this morning to the 16th, is as barren of political news as the former. It would appear from the following , article, that notwithstanding the prevalence of libe ral and truly Christian sentiments in Prussia on the subject of religious doctrines and discipline, that an ex ception to the general rule occasionally occurs, But as we are left in ignorance as to the real nature of the dispute, we cannot of course decide whether the civil authorities, or the Clergy. are to blame in the present instance: BERLIN, JULY 7. We hear that in consequence of a Royal Cabinet Order, the twelve Clergy who published the Letter against the Liturgy, are to be publicly reprimanded for this proceeding before the Con sistory. As M. Scbleirmacber is mentioned as the author of the Letter, and at all evenu as one of the subscribers to it, people are extremely anxious to see how he win conduct himself on this - occasion. We remember that on a former occasion of a similar nature, vie. in the dispute with the Privy Counsellor Schinatz about the Vision if firfide, be satisfied with the dexterity peculiar to him the demand of the Government, and thereby avoided the unpleasant consequences which the afair might have bad for him. His admirers (and who is not among the number?) hope that he will on this occasion also not lose sight of the ft ankneu which every body is said to acknowledge in him. Professor A. W. Von nchlegal concluded on the 4th July, his course of lectures on the theory and the history of the ine arts. As the time mud for thew lectures did not well anew a profound in- vestigation of the subject, it would perhaps have been better not to publish them as has been done by one of our Journals. Jamaica Papers to the 29th May, have arrived at the North and South American Coff'ee House. The Collector of his Majesty's Customs at Kingston had received a dis patch from his Grace the Governor, apprising him, that in consequence of information which his (*race had derived from the Commander. of the Forces, that the subsistence of the troops was not to be paid by the Local Government beyond the Slst inst. that the Col lector and Comptroller were to be governed by the British Act of Parliament, and recommence the collets• tion of the double duties from the Ist day of June next, unless, in the meantime, the Commissioners of Ac counts would re-assemble, and direct the Contractor to supply the troops as heretofore. ITRACT OF A PRIVATE LITTIER RECRIYILD IN Tai CITY, PROM CORFU, DATED THE IST INSTANT. “ General Church occupies the position of Dervania:' Colocotroni and the other Greek Commanders are at various positions near the Isthmus of Corinth, to pre. vent the approach of lbraham Pacha. It is said that Lord Cochrane has dispersed the Egyptian fleet, in the Waters of Candia—the Greeks had 70 sail, and the Egyptians 120 sail. Several letters had already an nounced some disturbances at Constantinople and Smyrna. To-day it is reported again that several Franks have fallen victims.” ANCONA, JULY 4.—The steam-boat from the lonian Islands arrived yesterday from Corfu, with dispatches for Landon. We have received the Paris Papers in due course.— , With the exception of an article in the itioniteur, under the head of Madrid, July 9, announcing an irruption into the Portuguese territory, from the side of Spain, by a band composed of Purtuguese rebels and Spa. nish vagabonds—their contents are of little mome . —Even this article announces no more than e knew before, as the affair is the same as that me - tioned in the last Lisbon Papers. It is to be regrets , however, that whilst the two Powers are engaged, wit apparent earnestness, in trying to settle their differences, any event should arise, through the negligence or weak ness of one of them, having a tendency, however re. mote, to defeat their intentions. This is•only another instance, however, of the bad grace and excessive re luctance with which the orders of the Spanish Govern ment, when they are of a healing character, are obeyed by those whose duty it is to see them executed. It is also another proof of the flagrant defects of the present system of rule, but we cannot sympathise with the Spanish Monarch, as the difficulties in which it involves him are of his own chasing. The Express which arrived this morning has brought the following quotations of the Rentes on Saturday last :—French S per Cents. 30 cents. higher on Saturday. New South Wales Papers which have been received to the 7th of March, state that s 3 of the pirates men tioned by us some time since, were immediately to be executed. The English Company's Officers, lately es tablished in New Zealand, have abandoned that island, and arrived et Sydney. A great conflagration took place near Irish ,Town by the filing of the bush, which spread over a district of many miles. One of the Sydney papers congratulates hs readers on the intelligence from England of a probable accession of population— ,, They r e glad to inform their readers 600 prisoners were in Newgate awaiting their trial."

The Lords of the King's Most Hon. Privy Council hod a Meeting at the Council Dace on Saturday morning, to hear an appeal from the decision of the Court of Bengal, in the But Indies. The Lords present were the Master of the Rolls, the Moo. Huou ELIO; &C.

Biswas" (involving property to the anima of nearly half a million), in answer to the argassestai of the apants, whose Counsel has been beard by their Lordships at a previous meeting.

After the case had been closed on be half of the respondents, Counsel were ordered to withdraw, while their Lordship. came to a decision whether or not to hear the reply of the appellants to the arguments advanced by Mr. Sergeant Spasms? The Counsel for the appellants were ultimately per. mined to address their Lordships. Mr. Aiwa was then heard at considerable length, on behalf of the appellants, after which the meeting broke up. Thursday, the Scarborough Cliff Iron Bridge was opened to the public by a grand procession, in which the Archbishop of lroaz and Lady Ave Veurat joined, and were received by the Gentlemen of the Guard of Honour uncovered, the band playing Gel sive the ring. After the return of the procession, the York Mail, drawn by four horses, tried its strength most effectually, by passing along the bridge, and returning at full speed, amidst the deafening plaudits of astonished and thousands or spectators. THE GUELPHS AND GHIuKLLINES.—It WAS about the middle of the twelfth century that these two names resounded as a .war-cry at the battle of Reinsberg, in Germany. Henry Welfe Rote united to the Duchy of Tuscany and to the other possessions of the house of Este in Lombardy, the Duchies of Saxony and Ba vans. He entered into intrigues to obtain the imperial crown ; but Coorad, Duke of Franconia, his competitor, was preferred to him. Henry Welfe Este refused to acknowledge his authority, and was despoiled of his German possessions. After his death, which hap pened in 1120, his brother Welfe V I. made war upon Conrad, to re cover his rights in Bavaria. The Imperialists were comm,sodeAl by Frederic, the Emperor's nephew, who had been educated at Weill/in its—their war-cry was Irsisletiagen, that of the Bavarians was Welfr. The use of these words pamied front Germany Into Italy; and, be ing metamorphosed into Ghibellines and Guelphs, designated, yp to the 15th century the former, that party which upheld the Fan peened pretensions ; the latter, the party mhich opposed them.— London Weekly Review.
