Numerous . agg ons, with provisions and military stores, continue to go to Spain. We hear that M. Otivrard has ceased, since the Ist cit hi s month, to be the Contractor-General. We have heard the whole day a brisk cannonade ';. the direction of St. Sebastian. This, it must be .;st:sed, does not look like a suspension of hostilities. Brussels Papers to the 16th reached us this morn- They state that the Egyptian squadron is dread alllicted with the plague, and that the flotilla kill not be able to sail this summer to aid the Turks. The same scourge has extended ils ravages to Larissa, Joannina, and Arta, and it has lately shewn itself at nevesa , In general, wherever the Turkish troops c ome to make any stay, the plague does not fail to a ppear in a few days afterwards, in consequence of the wretchedness and filth which accompany them. _Such is the situation of the new army a hich the Porte is endeavouring to form to oppose the Greeks- Hitherto this army does not increase, except in the bulletins of the partisans of the Porte. European Tut key is quite exhausted by the cam- raign of 15...n-IS ( 2`2, in which the principal Turkish troo ps were destroyed. The entire annihilation of the ar my which penetrated last year into the Nlewrea, still dampi the courage of the Ottomans, and the want cf money puts it out of the power of the Government to attempt anything serious against the Greeks. Nester Jay his MAJESTY gave a ,grand dinner to several of the Nobility and other Persons of Distinc tion, which terminates, it is supposed, the Royal Fes tivities the present season at Carlton Palace. As soon as the weather settles his MAJESTY will make an escntsion to sea. •••• --- In the course of the ensuing month the alterations making in IVintiNor Castle will be completed, and the Castle will be ready for the KING'S reception.— His nsiesTY is expected to sojourn there in Sep tember and Octobex to partake of the amusement of sho , ting. The Prince de PoLIGNAC, the new French Ambas rador to this Court, is expected in London in the course of a few days. Some wag, knowing the avidity with which the Irish journals devour tales of riot and murder, played ahoex on one of them a few days ago, by sending from Liverpool an account of an Orange riot at that town, on Saturday last. The writer stated, that 19 persons had been killed and 100 wounded, of the Lodge to which he belonged ! The Irish journalist to whom this exclusive intelligence was communicated, gave it with all the typographical distinctions usually at tached to affairs of importance, and announced further particulars on the morrow. That morrow, howmver, never came, and the journalist discovered that 'one of those tricks called hoaxes, had been passed upon him. We copy the following article from the Morning Chronicle, without in the least pledging ourselves for its authenticity, of which, we confess, we have consi derable doubts. The same Journal gives a Procla mation by General Quiroga; but where or when issued, we are not informed. In this Proclamation there is no mention of Morino, nor the Most distant allusion to the conduct attributed to him by Sir 'Ro bert Wilson. The General states, that " whole bat talions of those which were called of the Faith have deserted their brethren the Spaniards, to combat the invader ;" and he promises complete amnesty to all iho will follow their example. " 110 not," -says General Quiroga, " believe that the Duke d'Angouleme or the Cabinet of Paris have proposed to themselves, as they say, to restore our King to a Throne which we never took from him, but which we, on the contrary, defended at a high price. To possess themselves of Spain is what they intend, for an object silrilar to what Napoleon pro posed to himself. The Litter took us after his con quest to gain possession of the North of Europe. The present French Government has offered us to Russia, to conquer with us Turkey, which she has not been able to subdue hitherto." The Proclamation thus concludes—" Our corn. mon mother demands our union. Sacrifices, valour, and constancy, are exacted by the state in which we are. War, war, against the French. This is demanded and hoped for from all our fellow-citizens." FROM THE DIARIO CONSTITUTIONAL DE LA CORUNA OF SUNDAY, JULY 13. CORUNNA, JULY .•, General Wilson, having on his arrival at Corunna known that the new Regency of Seville had, on his arrival at the Isle of -Leon, restored to the King all his Constitutional authority, wrote to the Count of *Carthagena (MoriUo) to inform him of the event, and to desire that as he was charged with distributing aid to the patriotic Spaniards defending their Consti tution, they might unite to secure the internal peace Jul' the province, whatever might be the opinion of the Cortes as to legislative measures, so as to oppose the foreigners invading our country. The Count of Carthagena did not accept this pro position, but on the contrary suggested to general Wilson to counsel the Spaniards in general to submit to the enemy, and, notwithstanding the restoration of authority to the King, to disobey the Cortes. Gen. \Vilson having received this answer, transmitted it to tieneral Quiroga, with the following letter: " &Not .Gzano...x.—t have the honour to send your Excel c7 copies of the correspondence which has passed between 'ie Count of Cartbagena and myself. " Your Excellency will see that I took advantage of an or Prtunity which appeared favourable to•penetrate the views of Jibe Count of Carthagena, and to re-establish the hastriony and .uni o n so desirable, and on which depends the general safety. " Unfortunately, the understanding between General 110.111 1 0 and :he invader opposes invincible obstacles. " I shall conclude, that all sacrifices which a stranger can make, and which honour permits, I shall always be ready to of- Ic in behalf of the generous Spanish people ; but in the present state of things, and in the situation in which I am placed, I can de no more than repeat my determination 'to auger the same kit the Spaniards, be it what it may. " I pray your y.acentncy to receive the assurances ofthe high thnsideration, &c. " W./BLISS WILSON. Corunna, July 10, tass." Every preparation was making at Corunnalor the ?e,ence of that place. HOUSE OF LORDS_ THIS D. This morning at ten o'clock, the Royal Assent was given by Commission to • The Reciprocity Duties Bill, Viscount St. Vincent's Pension Bill, the Distilleries Bill, the Irish Stamps Bill, the Highland Churches Bill, the East India Trade Bill, the East India Mu tiny Bill, the Millbank Penitentiary Bill, the Marriage Law Amendment Bill, the Foreign Marriages Bill, the Passage Ves sels Regulation Bill, the Scotch Law Commission Bill, the Irish Church Rates Bill, the Irish Unlawful Oaths Bill, the Irish Law Expenses Bill, the Irish limen Manufacture Bill, the Cork General Sessions Bill, and the Limerick Regulation Bill. . The Commissioners were the Earl of SIIAYTESBURY, the LORD CHANCELLOR, and Viscount NIELVILLE. COURT OF CHANCERY-THIS DAY. DON JUAN. The refusal of the LORD CHANCELLOR to grant an injunction to restrain the piracy of the former Cantos of Don Juan, induced the publisher of the 6th, 7th, and Bth Cantos, to print them at so low a price as, if possible, to reader it impossible that the copyright should be invaded. This precaution was, however, found insufficient; a pirated edition has been pub lished, and the proprietor of the copyright (Lord Byron) has been compelled to seek the protection of a Court of Equity. This morning, on the sitting of the Court of Chan cery, Mr.WAKeersco moved for an injunction against Wiliam Hodgson, Bookseller, and his Agents, to re strain them from publishing three Cantos, 6,7, and i 8, of a certain work, called Don Juan. This he ' moved on an affidavit, made on behalf of Lord Byron, which stated that the work in question was the pro. perty of Lord Byron, and that it is now in the course of circulation; that the defendants have pirated, verbatim, these three Cantos, which, Mr.WAKEFIELD said, he had read carefully, and could assure his Honour there was no objection to a word of the said Cantos. Upon the ground that the work in question is en titled to the protection of the Court, as the property of the author, he, therefore, now sought that protec tion by the injunction of the Court against those who have pirated any part of the work. VICE•CIIANCELLOS.—Was any application ever be fore made to restrain the publication of Don Juan ? Mr. WAKEFIELD.—None, Sir. VICE-CHANCELLOR.—Take your injunction. MESSRS. ROTHSCHILD. r ••• FROM THE GAZETTE DE FRANCE. The political conduct of Messrs. ROTHSCHILD stands in no need of our eulogium : it has had its recom pense in the general esteem with which all Europe regards them. We cannot, however, resist the desire we have of mentioning a circumstance respecting the Loan of Twenty-three Millions, which, as it belongs to the private life of these honourable brothers, cannot but throw additional lustre on the elevated and truly liberal sentiments which animate them. These Gentlemen, in the high idea which they have conceived of the French Funds, were desirous that the different persons attached to their establishments should participate in the future advantages of the loan, and have accordingly assigned to each clerk, in proportion to his standing, a portion of rentes (from 2000 f. to 50,000 f) at the Tate for which they were subscribed, and the entire advantage of whatever rise may take place. The differences, in case of a fall in the Stock, are to be paid by the Messrs.itornscntr.D. We have not heard tell, in all our preceding loans, of any Head of a banking-house acting in so generous and paternal a manner towards the tientlemen of its establishment. Marshal SouLT,who has been landed by one of our contemporaries at Shrewsbury, and thence dispatched to Dublin, is stated, in the Moniteur of Wednesday, to have passed through Rodez on the Ist inst. on his way from his estate at St. Amand, near Castres, to the waters of Mont d'Or. VIENNA, JULY 4.—Their Imperial Majesties will come here to-day. Sir H. WELLESLEY, the new Eng lish Ambassador, will have his first audience to-mor row. The next day the whole Court, accompanied by the Archduchess MARIA LOUISA, will go to Baden. The King of NAPLES with his august family, will return to Naples on the 17th of this month. His MAJESTY will go to Leghorn, where he will embark on board the Neapolitan frigate the Syren. A Gentleman who had amassed an immense for tune in India, at his death bequeathed the sum of one hundred and fifty thousand pounds to Messrs. Courrs and Co. the celebrated Bankers, with whom be had transacted business many years; but from some unknown motive he left to his widow only five hundred .pounds per annum. Having always shared in the comforts of a splendid establishment, this Lady was obliged to relinquish many of those enjoyments in which she had been indulged during her husband's lifetime, and stated to the more favoured inheritors the privations to which she was compelled to submit, when they most generously agreed to allow her, for her lifetime, the interest on the original legacy, so that the Lady, who is now in her 45th year, possesses an annual income of 75001. When the Marquis of HASTINGS quitted the .GO. veinment of India, he is said to have left six mil lions sterling in the Treasury, which, when he first entered on office, he found nearly exhausted. The East India Company contemplate lending whatever funds the ,NizAiss may wapt, at the rate of six per cent. interest. This will be en arrangement mutually Advantageous to both parties, since the lc may has hitherto paid for the money he has borrowed two per cent. per month, arid Alle Company can procure whatever amount they please in England at three per cent. Tuesday sennight the Bude Harbour and Canal with the inclined Planes and Railways, were opened to the public. Mr. 51sruzir3, since:hisreturn from America, has been performing the character of Othello at the Li verpool Theatre. NEW yona, JUNE ID.

By an arrival from Curaeoa, Papers to the 31st of May and letters to the .sth June, have been received. The accounts which they contain respecting the late affair on the lake of Maracaibo, differ in some de gree from those previously received. The Colombian squadron, consisting of from 12 to 15 vessels, under PADILLA, is admitted to have succeeded, on the Bth of May, in the bold attempt of passing the Castle, and entering the lake. Beyond this the Spanish and Colombian accounts do not agree—the one repre senting that two of PADILLA'S brigs had been sunk by the guns of the fort, and that two more had run on shore, by which the Spanish naval force in the lake remained greatly superior, and that consequently the destruction of PADILLA and his squadron was inevitable. On the other side, it is said that PADILLA, had captured all the vessels in the lake, and that he was co-operating with the Colombian land forces un der Colonel SARDA, at Punta de Palmas, a small place near Altagracia, and at an equal distance from the fort of San Carlos {which was taken) and the town of Maracaibo. By the Leeward Islands packet, private letters from St. Thomas's, dated June 8, have been received, con taining interesting information with regard to the Main. 13ziLticnic, who in the action of Porto Ca bello commanded a brig, when he found that further resistance was useless, immediately repaired to Ma racaibo to apprise the squadron there under PADILLA of the unexpected arrival of the frigate, and capture of the two Colombian corvettes. It was immediately resolved by these Commander's to make a decisive effort against the fort of San Carlos, which com mands the bar and the entrance to Laguarai and it is said they succeeded, fourteen sm*Bvessels,entering the lake. Though MORALES had not retired from the town, he could not long maintain his situation, the fort of San Carlos preventing any communication . with his friends by sea, and the command of the lake by the Colombian squadron, any intercourse with the interior. Should he attempt to escape by Truzillo or Coro, MONTILLA would be ready to en counter him. The paragraph wbich appeared last week, relative to the intended retirement of Silt RICHARD PHILLIPS from the publication of new Works, should not, we learo, be understood.as applyingeither to the Monthly Magazine, or the Methodical Cyclopedia, in twelve volumes. These works, as well as new editions of his Elementary Books, will continue to proceed, under his superintendance, as buret/afore. ENGLISH OPERA HOUSE.—WLWALLACK appeared last night as the Three Singles, and represented all the oddities of the singular trio with great success. 1 In the grave.confusion of Pertinax, and in the dancing frivolity of Peregrine he was equally effective. But in the silliness of. Percival he was still more admirable, and frequently convulsed the house with laughter. ' The blue-bottle scene was irresistibly comic. Mr. W, C ' HAPMAN played Heir/Iv/trey with much humour, and in an introduced comic song he was encored. The other parts were well sustained, and the success of the piece was complete. The Masquerade last night, at the Argyll Rooms,- , was fits/doughty dull and elegantly •• ' - SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. • BETTING AT TATTERSALL'S, JULY 17.
