An article under the bead of Stock holm, 16th of July. probably copied from a Swedish Journal, and apparently published by authority, con tains an elaborate defence of the treaty recently con eluded between Sweden and the Porte. The negocia tioos had been begun by the predecessor of Count Lm►atits,teat.M, who conducted them to a successful termination, and presented from the beginning the greatest difficulties, in consequence of the aversion, Manifested by the Divan to the conclusion of a final treaty. The Porte had often granted to Swedish ships the liberty of navigating the Black Sea. by notes and rescripts, in many of which the pecuniary regulation, it is said, furnished no just ground for complaint. The duty or toll, levied on Swedish ships, by virtue of this treaty, is about 200 francs, or four times as much we understand, as British vessels pay, the latter giving only seven or eight dollars for their firman. An article from Vienna of the 21st July, without noticing the departure of the Elfl.lltOß and ENNULIS from that city, state, that their Imperial Majesties would remain at Baden till the 10th of August. The Arch-Duchess Mutt* Louts* was expected rather later at that place. It will be seen by the following extract, that the Pros sign Clergymen, who, as we stated a short time since, published some objectionable doctrines, have been pub. licly. reprimanded. BERLIN, JULY 14. 41 The reprimand which the twelve Clergymen who Printed a letter against the Liturgy were to receive, was given them a few days ago by the Chief President Von &omits." The Paris Papers of Monday and Tuesday have reach ed us in due course, but they are very dull and sterile. An article from Madrid, in the Gazette de France, states. in sober earnest, that the Spanish Government is pre paring a new armament for the purpose of reconquering its quondam possessions in the New World. This pro ject is spoken of as if success were not only certain but easy ; and It is this tone of confidence which stamps upon the statement a character of high burlesque. The number of men and ships to be employed in the new expedition is judiciously omitted ; and thus an ardent imagination has ample scope for the exercise of its powers. It must be observed, however, that it ex ists. as yet, only in the mind of its projector ; but, as soon as the grand thought is embodied, the con quest, the speedy reconquest, of South America is to follow. It will appear strange to the reader that the Spanish Monarch can. after so many cruel disappoint ments and humiliating s, still entertain such wild Projects ; but for our parts, we think him fortunate that he can amuse himself with these ambitious bubbles, and, by their means, divert his mind for ever so short a time from the sickening consideration of the difficulties and dangers by which he is beset on every side. New York Papers reached us this morning to the 10th, being one day later than those previously re ceived ; they contain, however, no intelligence of the slightest interest. The following is from the New York Gazette of the 7th : " The Quebec Government Papers ridicule the idea suggested by the Opposition Gazettes of Lower Canada, that the dispatches brought by Colonel Ramsay are cf any unusual importance, or of an extraordinary cha racter. The British ship Alligator, Captain Canning, arrived at Quebec on the 28th ult. with Col. Cockburn and Lord Valencia on board. Colonel Cockburn pro ceeds to Upper Canada on his mission, and will return to embark for England in a fortnight." which bad arrived from Ava, ARRIVAL& CHELTENHAM§ AUGUST t ARRIVAL tit HER ROYAL HIGHNESS as DUCHESS.

The horses were immediately taken from her car riage, and, preceded by Mr. G. Russell, the Chief Officer of Police, and the constables of the town all adorned with blue cockades, her Royal Highness was drawn along High-etrees. On her arrival at Liddell's Hotel, hei Royal Highness alighted, sad the Duke of Gloucester handed her into the Hotel ; and after reposing for a-few minutes, she again appeared with her august Cousin, and proceeded to Bays Hill Lodge , and from thence she promenaded the Old Well With, visiting theYump.room. The Montpellier Pump-room and Promenades were then visited, and going down Cambray Parade, she entered the Aseembly.rooms, her Royal Highness then proceeded through the Sherbert)* promenades to the Hotel, when, entering her carriage, she proceeded to Willoughby House, where she dined with . his Royal Highness the Duke of Gloucester. Her Royal Highness was accompanied by the Ptinceas Cartotti, Miss Fitz clarence, and Colonel Cooper. In the evening the Hotel was bril liantly illuminated with variegated lamps, &e. as was also the tri umphal arch In the Sberborne promenade. Any houses were illu minated, ands brilliant display of fire-works took place at 10 o'clock. Rarly yesterday morning her Royal Highness, with the Duke of Gloucester and het suite, &c. accompanied by the Master of the Ceremonies, promenadtd the Royal Montpellier and Sberborne Walks. At ten o'clock, a Deputation met at the Plough Hotel, consisting of Nobility and Gentry, and the most respectable in habitants of this town, amongst whom we observed Lord William Somerset, Adm iral Montague, Gen. Sir William Kerr Grant, Gen. Sir R. Deakin, and Gen. Tibiac, with their splendid orders. From the Plough Hotel, they walked in processiou to the hotel; sea arriving there, the deputation were ushered into the Royal presence, by Colonel Cooper, who mew graciously received them, when Sir William Burdett, in the absence of Lord Sher borne, whose presence was unfortunately prevented by his not having bad timely notice, in the moot emphatic manner read and pressisted the following address: " TO MSS ROYAL HAMM= 71111 DUCHISS 07 ICLAWKII-.467 inhabitants and visitors of the town of Cleltealum approach your Royal Highness with sentiments of profound respect and =shaker loyalty for the House of Brunswick. " We hail with unfeigned joy your Royal Highness's arrival in Cheltenham, and truss that a period le not very remote, when, by a prolonged stay, the Inhabitants will be enabled t• evince their re spectful attachment for so distinguished a Branch of the Royal Family, to the patronage and presence of which this town has been. and is still so largely indebted." To which her Royal Highness was gracloady pleased to return the following answer: " Mr Loans Ann Gmataunit—l return you my sincere thanks for this Address, and I request that you will believe that I sensibly feel your attention to me. The loyalty you express towards the House of Brunswick, must be particularly gratifying to use; and Its (peering you my acknowledgments, allow me to desire yen will state tothe inhabitants of Cheltenham, that I regret I cannot make a longer stay in a town, which has always manifested the strongest feelings of attachment to the Royal Family." The Deputation then returned in the same order to the Plough Hotel ; and at is o'clock her Royal Highness entered her travelling carriage, and with her attendants and suite, left here for Colonel Cooper's house is the Crescent, Bath, on her route to Portsmouth, to join her Royal Consort.

DREADItI. VIRE AT SIIEEItgrBS. Tuesday night last, about nine o'clock, while the 6 e at Fresh Wharf, Lower Thames-street, was raving rich all its fury, another fire of an alarming and destructive description took place in Sheerness. which, it is said, destroyed more than sixty houses. Various accounts arrived in London relative to the dreadful calamity, but no account whatever could be given as to its origin. The most general and concurring w ort i s , that the fire commenced in the wharf of. a Mr. WALING, of the Blue Town, which, being surrounded by timber-built houses, was soon destroyed by the flames, which spread with amazing fury, and communicated to various other buildings. At one period of the con. Sagration, the whole town is said to hue been threat. cued with destruction. Two streets were in a blaze at the same moment. and the firmament was one continued sheet of flame, tram the powerful refire, tion thrown by the raging element towards it. The inhabitants were in the utmost consternation, running with their infants and furniture in every di. rection, in a state of nudity, Several passengers and coachmen, who were proceeding to London when the fire was at its height, describe it as one of the most awfully grand spectacles they ever :witnessed. The Heavens, in fact, seemed to be in a blaze. The fire continued burning during the whole of Tuesday night, when it is said several streets were completely burnt to the ground. There was by all accounts a plentiful sop. ply of water. We made strict enquiry in every quarter, in order to ascertain whether any lives had been lost, but we did not hear of any such calamity. THE ARMY. The 7•th and 76th Regiments, are daily expected home from Gonads, having been relieved there by the 15th and 66th. Friday a draft of the 49th Regimeot arrived at Leith, from Glasgow, and embarked on board the Hilbert Bruce, steam packet, which salted in the afternoon for London, from where they we to proceed to the Cape of Good Hope.

A few months before Lord ELVON retired from office, he provided a well asserted equity library, which was much needed, for the use of the Chancery bar at Westminster.

This circumstance, so far from cor roborating, goes, in our opinion, to invalidate the ru mour, as no advices, capable of countenancing it, could have been received at the time to which the writer refers. We still look upon it as a specious speculation, and nothing more :— " The Papers have announced the project of the Pacha of Egypt, declaring himself independent. Fur some time past I have known this information, but for. certain motives could not send it to you. I expect that General Levron has proceeded to London ere this, should the French Government have agreed to the projects of the Pacha of Egypt. It is looked on as cer tain, that the arrival of the combined fleet in the Levant will be the signal of the independence of Mahomet Ali." We regret to state, that on account of ill health, Mr. HIRRIZS, one of the Joint Secretaries of the Treasury, leaves England the beginning of next week for the Con tinent. But we ardently hope, that the sea air and a milder cliiNte, will soon restore him to sufficient health and streigtb, to be able to resume those official duties which he has uniformly discharged with so much credit to himself and benefit to the public. It is super. fluous to add, that his reported resignation" is a weitk invention of the enemy. Madras Gazelles to the 11th March, have arrived. It appears that Rangoon is mg in possession of the Ta lions, as was reported ; the country is, however, far from being in a tranquil state. No decisive action had been fought but mama skirmishes had taken place between the Taliens and Burman:. The latter had the benefit of small before the sailing of the Bombay Merchant. We understand that the Government of the Cape of Good Hope has been offered to Sir Loway Cate ; and that should he decline the office, Sir HERBERT TAILOR will be appointed. Getseril Sir THOMAS Hum? goes to relieve Sir HENRI WARDE in the command in the West Indies. It appears, according to accounts from France, that 14 pirates, carrying from 12 to 18 guns, have left Al giers, in spite of the stria blockade. WINDSOR, Alla.
