Milan Gazettes, with German, and other Papers, reached us this morning. The following ate extracts : MILAN, Avauss 5. i The Goyernment at Milan has given notice that the Commissioners and Plenipotentiaries of the Coons in terested in the execution of article ninety-seven, of the final act of the Congress of Vienna, 9th June, 1815, in conformity with the maxims approved by the respec tive Courts. signed, on the 19th of July, a Proclamation, which the Government publishes for the information and direction of the persons interested. This notice recalls to mind that on the dissolution of the kingdom of Italy, and the treaties between the allied Powers and France. all dotations, denatickos, assignments. &c. which were inscribed in favour of France, to the charge of the Monte Napoleone, were extinguished and annulled. The Sovereigns, who resumed possession of the States of which the kingdom of Italy had been composed, de• clued, in a proclamation of the 14th of April, 1821, that. notwithstanding this extinction of the dotations, itc.eey admitted the right of the parties interested to receive the arrears due before the 50th May, 1814.

The greater part of these persons having completed their proofs, and their claims being allowed by the Commissioners, the Sovereigns have resolved that they shall not be obliged to wait till the remaining claims are proved and allowed, but that they shall immediately t eceive from the respective Governments the amount due to them. The Commissioners mention the steps to be taken by the claimants to obtain what is due to them. This notice is signed by the Commissioners of the 'Emperor of Austria, the Pope, the King of Sardinia, the Dachess of Parma, and the Duke of Modena. FROM THE FRONTIERS OF TIIE ELECTORATE OF BESSE, Juiv 36. M. Stteiber in Eisenach, Deputy of the German c.:rchants and manufacturers, has been ao Cassel to dissolve, alar in the Electorate, the Society that has hitherto subsisted there. It -seems, therefore, that the idea is wholly given up of inducing the several German Governments to adopt measures in common, for the promotion of the intercouse between thtir respective dominions, and in favour of the manufacturing classes. As. in con.eqoence of the new tariff adopted in Hesse Cassel, almlst all the productions and manufactures of tie neighbouring countries, v‘hic,h used to be imported, are now subject to exorbitant duties at the frontiort, [measures have been adopted in the Grand Duchy of Saxe Weimar to establish custom-houses on the Iron• tiers, towards Hesse Cassel, where equal import duties are to be levied on all goods coming from that country. We have received a file of American Papers to the 20th ult. It appears that the pecuniary panic has spread across the Atlantic, and that the epidemic was raging fiercely in the United States. The following are further extracts: zs A Philadelphia Paper has the following: LATEST PROM COLOSIBIA--CILTSCCAS Papers to the Ist July, and letters from La Guayra of the 2d July. Bo livar cannot be here for a length of time. He is the bosom friend of Paez, and to him Paez has appealed. The country is perfectly quiet, and the people do not wish for war. Confidence is fast restoring, and I ap• prehend nothing serious will take place. A manifesto is spoken of, calling on the Feople of Colombia to assem ble in general conventiop, to redress their wrongs. By the above it appears, tAat General Bermudes is not on his march against Paez with ten thousand men. TRulkf THE PHILADELPHIA NATIONAL GAZETTE, JULY 18. Extract of a letter from Pirto Cabello, the 18th and 19th June:—The state of the country is, as yet, uncertain. General Nez, anxious to ascertain the extent of his forces at Valencia, summoned the inhabitants to a kind of muster, at which. but 800 men attended. This alarmed him to such a degree, that he again renewed his orders, protesting that he would not appear after the third gun shot to be fired on the occasion. He then succeeded in getting about 3000 men to make their appearance. On the British Consul remonstrating against any molestation of this sort to British subjects, he answered in writing, that so far from offering any injury to them, he intended to protect them in their persons and property. The French Pliers to the 15th inst. contain some in. telligence from Russia to the 10th inst. which announces that the criminals whose sentences have been already pronounced, had been considered unworthy of the Im• perial mercy. The intelligence from Portugal comes down to the beginning of the present month, and states that a serious attempt had been made in the Province of Tralos Montes, to cause the people to rise in the name of Queen CHAR. ware and of the Infant Don 141t0uat.. This, however, had been overmastered by the patty of the Pawns Reclaim. At Chavez, the Insurgents issued a Procla mation, in which they proclaimed Don Mtourt. as the legitimate King, and asserted that Spain would acid an army to his aid. Their war cry was, 41 Hurrah for those who shall give us an absolute King," " Death to the English and the Constitutionalists, and all those who shall swear the Constitution." They were, however, easily put down, and general tranquillity was restored. Calignanet Messenger quotes a letter from Wat saw, stating that, as no preparations are making for the Grand Duke COMITANTI/111 . 111 journey to Moscow, it is believed he will not attend the coronation of his Royal Brother.

Yesterday was the Duke of YORK'S Birth Day, when his Royal Highness completed hie sixty-third year. The Royal Dukes tradespeople illuminated their houses in the evening; ems of the Theatres were also illuminated.

The LOAD CHANCILLOR has recoiered from a fit of the gout, with which his Lordship was attacked abort a week ago. The Countess &non is gradually recovering front her indisposition. In consequence of the immense quantities of game preserved on the manors of the Duke of Maumee* at Stratfield say, the demands of the different tenants for damages amounted, at , the first audit, to one-fourth of their rents, which has induced his Grace to order that for the future the game be kept within more reasonable bounds. A duel was fought on Tuesday on 'Ninths:more Hill Race Course, between -- G—r —a, Bag. and Captain M.—1...r ; which originated in a triSing disputed bet respecting a race. Cap- Lain M. was wounded in the aboulder,and the putts., who are rela tives, shook bands. Tuesday, the remains of the Comtesse de GRA/MORK/ were deposited in the family vault at Erich, in Kent. The mourn- . ful ceremony was attended by a numerous train of her disconsolate relatives: The severe distress which still prevails among the poor in the manufacturing districts has induced the Ladies of Brixton and its vicinity to for in a society, for the purpose of requesting donations of cast-off clothes and linen of every descrii.tion, that some protisiJn may (thus be made to avert the di.tress which a want of', (clothing must occasion in addition to their other suffer-1 1 'lugs. Much encouragement has been given to this plan by an homane off r to forwarJ the articles into Lanca shit e free of expense. Silortirtitto.—Yetterdav afternoon a young mars, named Barton, went into the shop of Mr. Dew, a linen draper, residing on Pimlico-tame, under pretence of purchasing some small article, and after asking the price of • I things, left the shop without buying any, but nut before he contrived to secrete • handsome piece of printed cotton from off the counter. The pro perty, however being intmediattly missed. the sbopman went in pursuit of the thief, whom he secured, and found the cotton en his person. lie was then given in custody to an officer named Cole, who brought him before Mr. Wuars, the Ma g istrate. at Queens square Office, where the fact of the rubheiy being clearly ptuved against him, he was fully committed to Newgats fur trial.

After the argument yesterday, which terminated in allowing Edward Gibbon Wakefield to traverse, be was admitted to plead to the indictments. To the charges of misdemeanour and conspiracy he pleaded " Not Guilty." He was then admitted to ball, Mr. Williams for the prosecution having first applied to the Court that the parties should give twenty four hours' notice of bail, which was refused. Dr. Davis, whose daughter is married to the father of Wakefield, and Mr. Wakefield, the Chancery Barrister, wesQ'then both tendered. The bail re quired was K. G. Wakefield himself in 2,5001. and two good sure ties in 1,2.501. each. Mr. Williams wished for time to inquire into the solvency of the sureties, but Mr. Justice Park observed, that the best mode would be to swear the persons themselves. Dr. Davis and Mr. Wakefield were then sworn, and examined by Mr. Williams. Dr. Davis said his property consisted chiefly in land. lie had one farm, a new purchase, on which there was a mortgage, but that was the only incumbrance upon Lis propert,t, which amounted close upon 2,0001. a year. Mr. Wakefield said Le had Chambers worth 2001. a year, and a house which be had lately built in Berkshire worth 3,0001. besides his library. Mr. Justice Park thought this sufficient, and E. G. Wakefield was soon after liberated. Mts. Frances Wakefield, the mother-in-law of the defendants, and daughter of Di. Davis, appeared, and pleaded Not Guilty to the charge of conspiracy. E. G. Wakefield was also bound over to keep the peace towards Mr. Turner and Ms farnUy. SONNET. TRIBUTARY TO THE MEMORY 07 THOMAS DYERLIIY, REQ.

J. M. L. • MILFORD REGATTA. A Regatta has this year been established at Milford, to be held annually on the anniversary of his Majesty's birth-day, August 14. Subscriptions to a large amount were quickly collected, and on Si. furday the town of Milford, the surrounding bills, and the opposite shore of Huiwell. Ike. were literally crammed with spectators from all parts of Pembrokeshire. The magnificent Haven was covered in all directions with yachts, gigs, pleasure boats, and Sailing ves sels. His Majesty's packet Crocodile, which was chosen as the Umpire's vessel, shaded with awnings, and gaily es:tweeted by lags, lay at her moorings near the Tortoise packet cure-sbip, on board of which latter vessel a numerous assemblage of elegantly dressed fe. males, etc. took their station, to witness the starting and arrival of the beats. A band of music and the occasional roaring of cannon gave additional life to the sane. Precisely at ten o'clock, the first class, consisting of eight small ferry boats, started from their buoys, by signal gun from the Cro codile. Shortly after the second , class, composed of six Linguist dredge boats rowed by . fishatersimen ' who always navigate these vessels, went joyfully off, amid repeat ed shouts of encouragement. Next eight fishing sloops followed ; then six Gentlemen's open boats; and lastly, as a conclusion to the sailing matches, six hand some private yachts went of in capital style. The rowing matches were well contested, and excited great Interest. Class 1. consisted of ten four oared boats, not gig built, won by the Otter. Class L. seven four oared gigs, won by the Black Swan. Class 3, three six oared gigs, won by the Pursuit, beating gr. Harris's Cygnet. The premiums had been so contrived, that even the losing boats gained considerable rewards; and, of course, as the scheme was all prises and no blanks, happy faces became th e order of the day.-- The Stewards. Captains kis:shall, Chappell, Pickard, and Robert son, R. N. entertained a large private party on board the Crocodile, which was attended by Lord Cawdor, Sir John and the Misses Owen, Captain Peel, High Sheriff, Sir itobert Seppings and Family, Captain Laws, R.N. Dr. M' Milian, Ike. Having partaken of a cold &Ueda), the company separated, apparently well pleased with their lay's amusement. The letters from the country received this day con fines favourable, particularly front Leicester, where few persons are Out if work, and the stocking trade Is going on briskly. The last accounts from Madrid state again the change of Ministry; that ItiILACIIO is to be Minister of Justiee.and the Pollee, Atriums, of Finance, and Oracia, of Foreign Affairs. Mr. HOSHOUEZ, Under Secretary of State for the Home Department, left town yesterday for his seat, near Wincan. too. Some( setshire.

Mr. Gans entertains a strong conviction that he shall be able to accomplish, to a certain extent. the desideratum of Aerial Navigation. The results of several experiments which Mr. Dew has made have so convinced him of the truth of this theory, that he has already had machinery made for the purpose. which it is his intention of trying the first favourable opportunity. The weight of the machine is only 19lirs. It will discharge 70,000 gallons of air in eight minutes. Saturday, a family in Hickney Road had bought a leg of lamb and some veal cutlets, which were immediately sent home. In a very little time a youth appeared at the door, dressed like a butcher, and having a meat tray, who said ha was sent for the leg of mutton, which was the wrong owe, it being bougbt by a Lady, who woul d no ether. The lamb was accordingly given up, in order that the mistake might be rectified. In a reasonable time the trick was discovered. A Frenchman the other day swindled a Lidy in the New-road out of .€lO, by the stale trick of pretending to redeem French goods detained at the Custem-home. Two ushroile shawls and a geld watch were left in pawn, worth together about AS! At Paris, rents hive fallen considerably ; a handsome apartment, which formerly let for 900 francs a month, after Woe seven months empty, was let last week for 500.

BRIGHTON, AUGUST 15. Soon after the Cummander.in-Chief, accompanied bp Sir Halford, had alighted at the Pavilion evening, Doctors M'Gregor and hi' Michael, and his Royal Highness's Private Secretary, Mr. Dighton, arrived. This morning Sir Matthew Tierney met Sir H.

The Royal Duke took an airing in his Cabriolet from eleven till nearly two o'clock to-day, end returned refreshed by his ride. His Royal Highness looked cheerful. Among the great number of personages who left thtir names in the Palace Hall book this morning. to pay the earliest respect to big Royal Highness, we had the opportunity of noticing the following: The Right Hon.

They complain of the birds being scarce, shy. and strong on the wing ; add to which the showets were frequent and heavy. It affords us much gratification to sty that business has this week been In a state of continued improvement, and of rather increased activity. The number of buyers in the market has been treater than usual ; and, in consequence, a good deal of cloth has been pur.. chased. We don't hear, however, of much improvement in price, though some descriptions of power-loom cloth have obtained a scull advance. For yarns the demand is considerable ; but the prices are net at all improved. We have heard of one or two large milts increasing the number of working days, and we hope that others will soon have it in their power to follow their example. We are sorry to add that the distress of the poor ii still extreme, and in some of the manufacturing districts almost incredible. The pressure of the poor rates is likewise becoming intolerable, and threatens ruin to the farmer.g It is said that Government object to granting; public money for purposes of charity; they may not, however,' hat!, the saute objection to a loan of Exchequer Dills, payable by instal. meats, and bearing moderate interest, secured with the principal upon the parish rates.—Glasgow Courier.

In Scotland, where it was formerly said that" lialf starved spiders fed on half-starved flies," the size of in sects has increased with vegetation. Caterpillars, fi•e inches long, and one and a half in circumference, have been found, it is said,this year, in many parts ofAyrshire. DINNER=TIME.—The proper hour fur dinner is laid down by THOMAS COGAN, a Physician, in a book en titled the " Haven of Health," printed in 1584 It is curious to observe how far we have since departed from the rule:—" When four hours be past after breakfast, a man may safely take his dinner, and the most con. venient time for dinner is about eleven o'clock before noon. The usual time for dinner in the Universities is about eleven, or elsewhere about noon." The staple manufacture of Rochdale is in woollen cloths, which have not suffered so great a depression as Cotton goods, a great quantity of which are also manu factured here, and at this time with more briskness than in Manchester. There are, however, a great num ber of unemployed, and dependent on charity.
