This foren4 on we received Mails from Hamburgh • Flanders, and Lisbon, bringing Papers to a late,date. The Brussels Journals, which are to the 11th instant, state that the Duke of WELLINGTON was every mo ment expected in that city, on his way to Vienna.-- A report was in circulation at Frankfort that a courier had brought news of the march of a part of the Aus trian troops which occupied Italy, on their way to the South of France, to reinforce the sanitary cordon : this news caused a fall in the Funds. A letter from Madrid, dated the evening of the 26th ult. states that there liad been a consultation of Physicians in the Palace, the result of which gives little hopes of the recovery of the young and interesting Queen of SPAIN, who is the third wife of FERDINAND. A Spanish Cabinet Messenger, coming from Madrid, passed on the 29th ult. through Carlsruhe, and con tinned with all possible speed his journey to Vienna. Viscount de NIONTMORENCY, the French Minister for Foreign Affairs, arrived al Frankfort on the 2d of September, and proceeded the same day on his way to Vienna. Every preparation is making at Vienna to receive the Emperor A LEXAN DER. Marshal Count HARDYK has set out for are frontiers, in order to regulate the ceremonial to be observed when his MAJESTY passes the frontiers. There will be great fetes at Court. Some regiments of cavalry, stationed in the envi rons of the capital, are expected to be ordered thither to do duty as long as the Sovereigns remain there, before they set out for Italy. The Austrian Funds continue to be favourable: on the 30th ot August, the prices were: • Metalliques, 83 3-16.—Bank Stock, 871 i. The llamburgh Papers received this morning are to the 4th instant. ;In article from PeLersburgh of the €2lst ult. states, that the closing of the Freema sons' Lodges has excited an extraordinary sensation there, and is the subject of general conversation. The Conservator Impartial, to prove its impartiality in the affairs of Spain, has taken from the Courier Francais the refutation of those Papers " which have spread so many absurdities respecting Spain," and.in which the statement that General MoitiLto had placed himself at the head of a counter-revolution is called a palpable falsehood, invented " by the Anti- Constitutional party." _ - - The Bei lin State Gazette says, that the Kings of NAPLES and SARDINIA are expected to attend the Congress at Vienna, and that Prince HARDEMBERG will shortly set out for that Capital. The Lisbon Papers received by the Mail this fore noon are to the Ist inst. In the Sitting of the Cortes on the 23d of August there was a very long and animated debate on the affairs of Monte Video, and the opinion of the Com mittee Wn that subject, which was reduced to two points-1. Whether the army of occupation should evacuate, wholly or in part, Monte 'Video.-2. Whe ther the Act of Union, of July 31, 1821, should be recognised as valid and legal ; and if it was proper -for the Portuguese nation to accept this union on the twenty-one conditions proposed in that Act, and ac cepted by Baron de Lagunna, on the 2d of August in that year. _ _ With respect to the first point, that is, the total evacuation of the Binh Oriental, the Committee, considering the intolerable insubordination of the troops, and the extraordinary want of discipline, thinks the Government should be authorised to re move from Monte Video the division of Royal Vo lunteers, and the Staff of the army, disposing of these troops as may be most advantageous and honourable for the public service. Astor the second part, the Committee, alleging various reasons for considering the Act of Union as illegal, and consequently invalid, re commends that it shall be rejected, but reserving the ancient right to that Province in state, quo, the Por tuguese nation not meaning to avail itself of the oc cupation of the Province in prejudice of the rights of Spain.--The first past of the opinion was approved, the second adjourned. In the Sitting of the 27th, the Committee ap pointed for the purpose, presented the Programmes for the composition of the Civil Code. Those who in tend to be candidates for the premiums offered for the composition of ttreCivil Code,' are to present their projects to the Cortes, which are to be installed on' the Ist of December, 1824; immediately after their installation. • • In the Sitting of the 28th, mention was made of some disturbances that had taken place at Castello Branco, at the elections for the Cortes. In the Sitting •f the 29th, the Committee of the Constitution gave its opinion on the motion of some of the Deputies of St. Paulo, who proposed that the Representatives of those provinces which adhered to the Prince Regent, should be declared to he no longer the Representatives of these said provinces. The Committee thought that it was not clear that the inhabitants desired to separate from Portugal, though the Governments of the Provinces might ; that their representatives were still bound to attend the Cortes. But as orders are not issued both from Portugal and Rio Janeiro, to the several Provinces, for she convocation of the different Cortes, the Com mittee think this is the most favourable moment for the people to express their wishes, and if they name Deputies to the Cortes of Brazil, the Deputies of those Provinces which shall make such nominations, will be clewed from attending this Congress. After a long debate, in the Sitting of the 30th, the opinion of the Committee was 2pproved of with the following addition But it is not, therefore, ro be understOd that these provinces are separated." The Diario has a lung article to shew•the advan tages that would arise from making Lisbon a free port ; and in order to disprove a repot t that England prohibited all Portuguese produce, not coming direct from Brazil, to silence this calumny, and put to shame the calumniators of the liberal English natibn, and bear new testimony to its noble character, inserts, in English and Portuguese, the 18th article, of chap. 43, of the 3d of Geo. IV. respecting foreign importation. The French Papers of Tuesday have reached ns. The trial of BERTON and his accomplices is drawing towards a conclusion. The Advocates of the remain ing accused terminated their pleadings on the Bth. The next express will probably bring us intelligence of the verdict of the Jury. A Decree - was signed on the ISth ult. by the Em peror of &MIAs for closing the Masonic Lodges in his dominions. Letters from Saint Jean Pied de Port announce that the Trappist, at the head of 150 to 200 men, had made a junction with the army of QUESADA. Large quantities of arms and ammunition are daily deposited there. It is said that the Cordon Sanitaire will be removed on the 16th, if no symptom of fever at that time appears in Spain. A line of troops of observation will be maintained on the frontier, and no person will be allowed to pass either way without being subject to quarantine. Madrid Papers of the 30th nit. had reached Paris on Monday last, and we are enabled to collect the sub- . stance of their contents from the French Journals. An Address to the KING has been presented by the new Ministers, requesting him to convoke tip Extra ordinary Cones. This Address, which all the Minis ters signed, is stated to be in the following terms: The evils of constitutional Spain are numerous, but they are all susceptible of a complete cure, if the strong hand which re. stoves the obstacles unite with the creative hand which must furnish the indispensable resources. The nation alone, repre sented by its Deputies, can supply all that is wanted; and the Mi nisters would be unworthy of the confidence of your Majesty and of the Public, if they did not, with that frankness which has al -1 ways characterized their conduct, make this declaration. " These motives, which are in their view so important, in duce them to demand of your Majesty a speedy convocation of Cortes Extraordinary, who shall be exclusively occupied with such business as we shall submit to your approbation, and a prompt decision on which is of the greatest importance. " The nation, deeply sensible of its existing situation, desires this convocation ; the perfect restoration of public confidence re quires it ; and we hope that the constitutional Monarch, so en tirely identified with the interests of his people, will accede to their wish and to ours, by giving in this manner the most bril liant testimony of his paternal zeal for the public cause. K May GOD long preserve the important life of your Majesty, for the benefit of the heroic Spanish nation. " Done in the Palace, August 28." It is said in one of the French Papers that the Ex traordinary Cortes are convoked for the 25th of the present month, and that the KING signed the Decree to that effect on the morning of the 24th of August; but the latter part of this statement must be erro- neous, as, from the date of the Ministerial Address, it appears that it could not have been presented before the 28th. It is added that the KING was unwilling to order the convocation, but that the Ministers de clared they would resign, and publish their reasons for their conduct if he did not comply. General Dziwzmus O'DALT, who commanded under RIIIGO when he declared for the Constitution in 1820, is appointed Military Commandant of the Province of Madrid, in lieu of General Corows. The latter is reproached with yielding to family consider ations, in order to favour two Officers of the Royal Guard, who are confined in the prisons of Madrid. These Officers are named Mows and BON VENUTI.— The Council of State has decided that they shall be tried by an ordinary Court Martial, a.nd not by one composed of General Officers,as Corona had intended. The Ultra Marine Minister, VADILLO, arrived at Madrid on the evening of the 28th. It is said that his colleagues only waited for his arrival to adopt energetic measures against the rebels. This Minister is very popular at Cadiz, where his appointment has been celebrated by an illumination. The following eight persons have been sent to Co- I . 4 r.unns, by the Political Chief of Burgos : —F.

Every day brings us some new instance of the shameful and gross neglect with which our Ministers treat the commerce of this country. They have suffered the United States to obtain the first fruits of a ben& ficial commercial intercourse with the Independent Colonies of South America ; they have witeessed France forming a commercial treaty with the United States on the basis of reciprocity of interest and li berality, which is likely to injure us considerably.— But this is not the worst ; for so totally indifferent are they to the commercial interests of this country, that they suffer our merchant ships to be plundered by a piratical banditti, while we have a naval peace esta blishment ample enough to protect it in every quarter of the globe. It was but the other day we stated that the little protection our merchant ships had in the Atlantic was owing to the spirited exertions of the Govern ment of the United States, which had fitted out some active cruizers against the pirates; and we now have to record the fact, that the English traders at Bahia are indebted for their personal safety and the preservation of their property to a French vessel lying off that port. The latest accounts from Bahia state that it was likely to be the scene of an imme diate contest between the Brazilians and the Portu guese. The English merchants were leaving their country houses, and going to reside in the Lower Town. They were laying in a good supply of pro visions, as all communication was cut off with the country, and fresh beef was very high. A French 64 gun ship was at Bahia ; the Captain had made the offer of his ship to the British mer chants for their protection, whenever they might think proper to leave the town ; bis boats would at tend six hours each day, to receive such persons as were desirous of leaving Bahia. The British mer chants had called a meeting, and stated that they would accept the French Captain's offer in a few days Accounts have been received this morning from Hull of a very distressing nature, in regard to the Greenland whale fishery, stating, that seven ships were totally lost, 14 remained in the ice not expected to get out, and eleven were missing. The account also states, that the fish they had caught averages about 124-tons. Liars hics.mr.n left town this morning at six o'clock, for his Lordship's seat in Scotland. Lord Stnstotrrn left town yesterday, for his Lord ' ship's seat in Gloucestershire, and was to sleep at Ox ford last night. The Duke of WELLINGTON is much better, but his Grace has not been out since he had an audience of his MAJESTY on his return from Scotland. Sir CHARLES LONG and Mr. PEEL had audiences of his MAJESTY yesterday. 0 . - beset, and the rest do not average more than four ids each; she kft the ice on the lith ult. and reports that snout dot the ships are coming home, the ice being so heavy that they had no chance of getting through to the Westward.—Ships lost, viz. Valiant, of Whitby; British Queen, and Eliza, of Newcastle; Calypin., of Dundee; Hero, of Montrose; Invincible, of Peterhead; and 'Lady Forbes, of Liverpool.—Ships beset, viz. Andrew Marvel, Ellison, Gilder, Ingria, Mary Frances, and Progress, of ; Rattier, of Leith;. Dorothy Estredge, Friendship, and Three Brothers, of Dundee; Alexander and Ythan, of Aberdeen; Hannibal, and Superior, of Peterhead." Extract of a letter from the Agent to Lloyd's at Monte Video, dated July 1:—" The Laurel, liPDowato, from London to Val paraiso, put in here on the 19th ult. having been obliged to bear up to repair some damage sustained by a heavy sea breaking on her. The Master reports as follows :—That on the 15th of June by discovered a shoal is lat. 36. 28.3 long. 51. 30. W. that it appeared to be about a mile long, and the sante in breadth, with a sea breaking very high over it : that It had the appearance of sand, and little water on it. He passed withio half a mile, and then hove to, sounding with 90 fathoms of line, and found no bottom. He further states, that he had a good chrouometer on board, and was six miles out of his longitude wheu he made this port: FALMOUTH, Sarr.l I.—Wind from S.S.

Livaaroto., Szrr. 10.—The True Briton, HARVEY, hence for St. John's, N. B. was abandoned at sea the 25th ult. in lat. 55. long. 90. and it was supposed she would go down in two hours after the crew left her. They have arrived here in the Hebe, from Quebec. The following particulars of the loss of the True Briton are communicated by Captain Ha aver :—After being out 18 dayt, and having reached lat. SS. N. long. 30. W. the ship was struck down on her beam-ends by a heavy sea, in the night of the 24th ult. The gale continued, and next day she sprung a leak : all hands were put to the two pumps, but the water gained on them ; the vessel now running before the wind. The water casks, &c. were by midnight floated in the hold, and the ballast covered with water, which increased to a depth of four feet. It was then found that the vessel bad started a butt on the starboard quarter, and worked very much in the after-run. At live nest morning, having lost all power of her helm, she fell, water-logged, on her beam-ends; and with much difficulty the long-boat was launched, and all bands, 18 in number, got into her, with only four small oars, and a very small supply of provisions, and a compass: a tremendous sea was running, which obliged them to keep before the wind. At nine in the morning they were film ' mutely picked up by a brig, the Sally, of Harrington, Captain Dertnsuite, from Dublin, bound to Miramichi, who, by great exertion and with meek difficulty, saved them from their perilous situation. On the 29th this vessel fell in with the Hebe, Captain Nixon, bound for this port, who took them on board, and treats sl them with great humanity. The Prince of LEININGEN, accompanied by Cap tain CONROY, Mr. WAGNER and suite, landed at Dover on Tuesday afternoon from the Medusa steam-packet. His Serene Highness immediately set off for Rams gate to join the Duchess of KENT. The Marquis of HERTIORD arrived on at Sudburne Hall, in Suffolk, from Ragley Hall, in Warwickshire, where preparations are making for the reception of his Royal Highness the Duke of YORK, and a party of silteen. The Duke of GLOUCESTER honoured Salisbury Ca thedral and Fonthill Abbey with a visit on Saturday last. On the previous day his Royal Highness visited Wilton House. In consequence of the LORD CHANCELLOR'S deci sion in favour of the Trustees of the British Museum, the latter are going to build two wings in the garden behind, 315 feet long by 35 feet wide. The estimated expense is £200,000, which the Government will ad vance by instalments of £20,000 a year during ten years. The present house is not to be pulled down, but repaired and beautified, so as to correspond as nearly as possible with the new work. The library, the Townley collection of marbles, and those things that are the heaviest, are to be removed into the new wings, so that only the light articles will be in the present house. Cumberland Gate; the great northern entrance to Hyde Park, is about to undergo a very great improve ment—it is said at the sole expense of Mr. HOPE, whose classical taste and princely munificence are so well known in the fashionable world. The foundation is laid out for the new Union Club House, on the north side of Cockspur-street, nearly opposite Spring-gardens. It will have a grand front with pillars. The College of Physicians is to be on the south side of Pall-mall East, at the back of the Union Club.— Both the above buildings will have a front that will face the east, so as to form one side of a street to run from Coekspur-street te Pall-mall East. The Union University Club, at the corner of Suffolk street, is proceeding very rapidly. A great robbery has been committed on the )Ips wich Mail, coming to town this morning. A person inside the coach had the care of property, from four different Banks, to the amount - of Forty Thousand Pounds, and, having been obliged to leave the coach fgr one minute, dieing was stolen. One Thousand Pounds reward was offered for the appreliensiotkof the robbers. Barr. 11.—The WohWorth.

TO MARINSIt& Batsm, AMR= 3.—A new Light-House has been erected on Rixiseoft, otherwise called Reserhoofr, being the most Northerly Point of the Strand of Prussian Pomerania. It will be flrit lighted on the 15th of November, 1822, and in the sequel tha light will burn, from the Ist August to the 15th of Nay, from one hour after sunset till half an hour before sunrise. The fee.: of the light-house is 170 Rhineland feet, the top 240, and the light 228 feet above the surface of the Baltic, at the mean height of the water; 15 Argand lamps, with parabolic reflectors, burn in the lantern. When the atmosphere is clear, and Ender ordi nary circumstances, the light may be seen from the ship's deck at a distance of five Prussian miles (22k English) in all south and western bearings between R.S.R. and N. W. It will be dii tinguithed by its elevation and brightness from the light at which at present Is only a coal fire burning in an open grate, and cannot be confounded with it by vessels coming from the West ; the Hela light, besides, is not to be seen in S.E. directions. The neighbourhood of Rishooft I'oint may be also distinguished from that of Hela by the soundings, the depth of water being less. WATERFORD, SEPT. 9.—Yesterday, Capt. RICHARD DKVEREUX, of the ship Success, of London, Mr. HENRY SMITH, jUll..Of Hose-lane; Mr. MosEs DEVEREOK, and, Mr. PATRICK DV/ERROR, of Rose lane, with a sailor lad of the Success, went down the river in a sail-boat of the Success, on a party of pleasure. On their le turn, a little after seven o'clock in the evening, the boat went down, in consequence of a sudden squall, to the north of the Passage, and the four Gentlemen were lost. They were all unmarried young men, of the very first character. All attempts to find their bodies have hitherto been ineffectual. The sailor saved himself. His name is THOMAS FURLONG. Extract of a letter from Boston, dated August 14: We can congratulate ourselves upon the gri;er;?! exemption from the disease ; no disorder of a m lignant kind at present prevails amongst us.
