The report that Lord 111mnt..i.s is to be the new Governor-General of India, is again revived with greater confiJence. Indeed, it is said this important office has been actually offered to him. if so, his Lordship is too well-bred a man to refuse it, par ticularly when the advantages to his interest are so obvious ! Lord MELVILLE'S successor at the Atirni laity has not yet been named. The French Papers of Thursday and Friday have ':reaclied us. They contain an Official Ordonnance of Louts XVIII. which, after declaring " that the sani tary measures taken on the frontiers of Spain are henceloi th without any object," decrees as follows: " Art. I.—The measures taken to preserve health on the fron tiers of Spain, by virtue of our Ordonnance of September 27, 1821, with respect to the passage by laud, are to cease ft= the Ist of October next. " 2.—The troops employed as a Cordon Sot:unite shall he main tained as a Corps d'Obsenratioo,in the pobitions they now occupy." Tltia Royal Ordonnance is very differently viewed by the French Editors ; some of them contending that it leaves no pretext for war between Fraime and Spain, while others regard it as the signal of au approaching contest. Be this as it may, it is a singular document ; to all the complaints made against die menacing posi tion of the French troops on the frontiers of Spain, it was answered that it became necessary on account of the plague in Spain. It is true that every person of common sense knew that it was the Constitutional malady, and not the fever at Barcelona, that excited the fears of the French Government; and this fact, so loag denied, is now openly confessed by the Royal Decree,which continues the insult when it is acknow ledged that the avowed cause no longer exists. • Another proof of the feelings of the French Govern ment towards Sp:tin, and of thecountfnance given to the insurgents of the Pyrennees, is afforded iu the Address of the Chamber of Commerce at Bayonne to the French Minister of Finance, M.VILLELE, on the in terruption of the Spanish mails. This Address states, that " the ordinary couriers hem France to Spain, and from Spain to France, have already been several times .stopped, and on different points the dispatches have disappeared. All these interruptions have been occa sioned by detachments of the Army of the Faith, which act under the direction of Generals stationed in different points of Spain, and even, it must be avowed, in several of our frontier towns. Some re side in Bayonne in that quality. This fact is of public notoriety; and so many circumstances concur to prove it, that it is impossible to have any doubt on the subject. We can then say, with some certainty, that we have amongst us foreign Chiefs, who contri bute directly or indirectly to the seizure of our cor respondence with the Peninsula; or if these seizures are not made in consequence of their orders, they at least tolerate them. It is even said, and we believe that in this instance authority cannot contradict public opinion, that the intercepted dispatches have been sent to General Eguia." It is worthy of remark, that it is not the Constitu• tioaal Government of Spain, however aggrieved, nor Spanish Merchants, however injured, that make this remonstrance, but a constituted body of the French nation—the Chamber of Commerce at Bayonne. And to what a length must that grievance have pro ceeded, which provokes such remonstrance. The', French nation itself is insulted, and its commerce in jured, by the rapacity with which the Spanish Mails ] , are seized, for the mere purpose of conveying intel ligence to the rebel Generals in the Peninsula. It is very clear that the French Government cannot, without sacrificing its cm n honour and the interests of its subjects, hesitate one moment in repressing so atrocious a practice. if such were the fatal preposses sions of the present French Ministry, that it were de termined to make war upon the Spaniards for their attempt to improve their Constitution, this course Of proceeding, though unwise, would be open ; but that a Sovereign should suffer foreign agents or Generals— some of them even residing in his own dominions— to intercept at will the correspondence of his subjects with those of a State .with which he is apparently-at peace, for any purpose whatsoever, and still more for the purpose of nursing a rebellion in that State, seems to be almost incredible. The French Government would id this instance be allowing the Spanish rebels net only to assail their own Constitution, but to make war upon the subjects of France, or upon all thole • I "".MWRIVT wpfirr7. ~ of the subjects of France who are engaged in corn mercial or other relations with Spin. The French Papers contain iccounts from Madrid to the 19th instant. Various changes have taken place in the command of some of the army corps; and Don Louts CIEARES7 a Keeper •of the King's Wardrobe, Don PEDRO PODIO;OfAcer of his Majesty's Treasury, and several other distinguished persons, accused of conspiracy against the Constitutional Sys tem, have been summoned by the Territorial Audience of the Province, and the Judge of First Instance of Madriil, to appear before a tribunal of justice, in the space of nine days. But the most important articles in these Papers are two official documents. The first is an Address of , King FERDINAND to the Spanish Nation, in which he acknowledges that 44 in shameful silence he has en dured that his name is profaned by perjured persons who have buckled themselves with the armour of crime ;" and he calls upon the Clergy, the Military, the Civil Functionaries, and those who have the Press in their hands, to assist in establishing Spanish li berty. The following is the Proclamation : THE KING TO THE SPANISH NATION. " Spaniards !—Since the moment after having become ac quainted with your wishes, I swore fidelity to the Constitution promulgated at Cadiz on the 19th of March, 1820, my mind could only rejoice in the happy prospect of your future felicity. A reciprocal and painful experience of absolute Government, in which everything is done in the name of the Monarch; Without his real will (having, in fact, the least share therein), induced us to adopt with pleasure the fundamental law, which, in pointing out the rights and duties of those who command and those who obey, obviates the deviations of all, and gives more ease and free dom to the reins of the State, in order that it may be conducted by the most direct and most glorious path of justice and prospe rity. Wbo, then, Impedes our course? Wbo has now the design to precipitate us into the opposite route? I must announce this to you, Spaniards—l, who have experienced so much chagrin on the part of those who wish to drive us back to a system which never shall return, and which I cannot support in silence since it would sacrifice you. Placed at the head of a magnani mous and generous nation, the happiness of which is the object of all my solicitude, I seize this favourable opportunity to address it in a voice of peace and confidence, which may, at the same time, convey aalutary advice to the machinators. May they profit by it to avoid the effects of a struggle. In vain do they pretend to ex culpate themselves by errors of opinion; if indulgence be appli cable to them, chastisement is not the less due to real crimes. The period of error respecting the form of the Government is passed, since the Spanish people have declared themselves in, favour of the present instltutinns. Those who aspire to rise without met it, and to command without virtue and responsibi lity, therefore, thought it necessary to dissemble their vexation ; but it was not the less real. Concealing all their humiliation. their chagrin changed to hatred and fury against the restorers arid fhfriensis of the Constitutional System. Such, Spaniards, is the causNsf the agitations which fatigue you. The artifices tor tuously empllyed, the violent sedition;, the many inquietude; which good citizens have to endure, are all evils springing from the impatience of those who are accustomed to listen to no other voice than that of their own caprice—to yield to no salutary con straint of the law, and never to sacrifice their guilty desires on the altar of the country. In vain do they invoke the name of a King, who hears them only with the most lively sentiments of indignation; in vain do they pr.( tend to defend the prerogatives of hies who is ambitious of no otha title than that of being the Coostitttionsi Monarch of the Spain;. " TI e scenes which the contests between the sons of the country and their criminal adversaries produce, are too public not to demand my attention—too horrible for me not to denounce them to the acts of the law, and not to excite against them the indignatlua of all those who arc proud of the name of Spaniards. You are witnesses of the excesses which have been committed, and still are committed, by that liberticidal faction.-- It is need less to lay before you the picture which Navarre, Catalonia, and other province? of this fine country present. Robberies, mur ders, arson, and brother armed against brother, and father against son, have repeatedly excited your indignant courage, and caused your generous tears to flow. Embrace in idea all the evils to %%Melt fanaticism gives birth, and supply from your indignation all the expressions which I want, to mahe you comprehend mine. " Valour and constancy gill for ever beat down that de graded race of unwetthy children of the country. Their pro jects are criminal, their hopes insane. If they are obstinate, you are invincible ; if they yield to the cry of sordid interest, liberty and honour, which are inseparable virtues, animate and guide you : but seduction will be of short Caution, and the low artifice, which they employ will soon yield to the lights of our age. The misled men will listen to the voice of the Constitutional King of the Spain.. Listen not to the voice of perfidious men, who mis represent a law, which can only be accused of imperfections in separable from all human labours. The Constitution proclaims, in the most solemn manner, the worship of your fathers, and they would substitute for your piety the most abominable fa naticism. By the Constitution you are free and happy; with them you would sink again into desolation and misery. Behold the blood which the fury of those banditti caused to flow ; con template your dwellings, which were formerly asylums of peace, now become theatres of fratricidal war. Fix your eyes on that throne of derision and ignominy erected by imposture at Urge'. " Finally, look' at the precipice from which it is wished to hurl you. Enlightened Europe sees with horror so many ex ceases and so many crimes. Humanity demands vengeance -for the insults to which she is exposed—the law for injuries suffered —the country for her outraged humour—and I—shall I continue , silent ?—shall I tranquilly behold the evils of the magnanimous Nation of which I am the Chief?--shall I, in a disgraceful anemic, suffer my name to be profaned by perjured wretches, who make it the buckler of their crimes? No, Spaniards! my voice denounces them at the severe tribunal of the law. I de vote them to your indignation and to the execration of the uni verse. May this voice be the rainbow which announce, peace— the voice of confidence applying its salutary balm to the ills of the country. a Valiant Soldiers ! Redouble ybur efforts to display every where your victorious banners. Civil Chiefs, executers of the law, labour day and night to engrave in the hearts of the people the love of liberty; let its principal supports be your example, and the benefits bestowed by the Constitution. Ministers of Religion ! you who announce the word of the living Goo, and preach his morality and his charity, tear off the mask with which. the perjured cover themselves. Declare that the faith of Court Is nut to be defended by crimes, and that it rejects from the number of Its Ministers chow who employ fratricidal arms-an- nihilate these crintinals--frum the altar destroy them with those thunderbolts which the Church has placed in your hands; be good Priests as well as good citizens. A n d you, public writers, you who direct publis ophdlos the ) --~-~Y The Austrian Observer has published intelligence from Constantinople to the 26th of August, relative to the operations of the Turks. The events men tioned are not new. The article merely repeats what occurred immediately _after the incursion of CHOURSCIIID PACHA into the Morea, and the details are tediously minute. Another account from Constantinople, dated the 25th August, states, that the Porte had received ac counts from Persia, which announced different de feats of the Ottoman troops, and that two Pachas had been made prisoners. The same- account adds, respecting the Greeks, that the Turks are every wl e cre advancing in the Morea, and that DEMETRIOS YPSILANTI has arrested CONSTANTINE NEGRIS and ZANO in the roads of Napoli, and decapitated the latter. They were both Members of the Senate. It is said that the Porte insists on the abolition of the protections which foreign Consuls grant to indi vidual Rajahs. A letter from Smyrna, dated August 16, contains the following pat ticulars ;-•'‘ An Algerine frigate belonging to the Egyptian flotilla having fallen in with an English vessel which had 29 Greeks on board, consisting of some of the principal inhabitants of the Mores, who were going from the Island of St. Mauro to Zante, the frigate seized the passengers without regard to the British flag, with the intention, as it appeared, to make a present of them to the Dey of ALGIERS. The English Consul at Patras addressed strong remonstrances to the Algerine Commander, to obtain the restoration of the Greeks ; but all his steps were of no avail, and the intervention of the Pacha of Um, and other English Consuls in that country, proved equally fruitless. Captain Hamm- Tots, commanding the English frigate the CAMBRIAN, having obtained information of this event, made sail with a corvette belonging to his squadron, after the flotilla, to obtain the 29 Greeks either by good will or by force. On coming up with the flotilla, he inti mated to the Capitan Bar that be required a formal reparation, and that in case sf refusal he would take it himself. The Capitan Bar acceded to captain Ha am.Toa's demand, and wrote an order with his own hand, enjoining the Commandant of the Algerine flotilla to deliver up the 29 Greeks immediately.— Notwithstanding this order, it was with much reluct ance that the Commandant of the Algerine frigate parted with his prey, for which he had been offered 4000 piastres at Alexandeia."

The same principle will apply to Lieut.-General Don CARLOS O'DoNNEz, in consequence of his having proceeded to France without his Majesty's permission. General MINA, in assuming the command of the 7th Military Division, has addressed a Proclamation to the Catalonians, dated Lerida, September 10, in which he imputes their troubles to simplicity, fana ticism, and foreign gold ; he declares that the power with which he is invested shall not remain inactive; but that as he knows the wretches he will swiftly punish them. One of the French Ultra Journals, the Quo:idioms. has some loose and undated paragraphs, stating, that there was a report of MLNA's being defeated—and of the Proclamation of a Republic at Barcelona, by the Descamisades, with cries of " Die the KING and Con stitution, and live the Republic !" The defeat of QUESADA and the Trappist is confirmed by several letters from Pampeluna, Saragossa, and Stint Se bastian, of the Ist, 3d, 6th, and 7th instants. This forenoon we received a German Mail, bring ing the Austrian Observer to the 18th, and the Nu rensburg Correspondent to the 23d inst. • An article from Vienna, dated the 14th inst. states, that the opening of the Congress has been really de. layed by the death of the Marquis of LoNoosuEitay and that the departure of the EMPERORS for Verona, which was fixed for the middle of September, it de ferred to the end of the month. There have been some preliminary conferences, but the grand delibe ration, which is to fix the subjects to be discussed in Congress, will not take pl.:te until the Ministers of all the five Powers have at rived at Vieurra. It is said, that on the death of the Marquis of LoxooK. , mum, the Austrian Cabinet requested that he (night be succeeded in Congress by the Duke of WELLING TON. It is expected that the Sovereigns of Russia, Austria, and Prussia, will stop at Venice, where great fetes are in preparation, previous to their going to Verona. It is stated from Dresden that a new Ordonnance for regulating Divine Service in Prussia excites great attention; and that discoveries have been made which will establish the innocence of the unfortunate FONK, who had bean condemned to death. A general re vision of his trial has already commenced. Sm. 14.—Metalliques 82 I.—Batik Shares 835 Sept. 16.—Metalliques 82 7-16.--Bank Shares 857 3 5. New York Papers to the 21st ultimo reached Hs this forenoon. By the Reports of the Board of Health, it appears that the yellow fever is on the decline in that city, and that there was little cause for the great alarm that had been excited. A Philadelphia Paper complains much of this unnecessary alarm, and of the Non-intercourse Act between Philadelphia and New York, which had been put in force, to the great inconvenience of both cities. FROM THE PHILADELPHIA UNION. CRUIZE OF THE HORNET.-I:1 ,yesterday's Paper we announced the arrival of the United States' ship Hornet. We have conversed with Captain Henley, who has been permitted to come up to town, the state of his crew being generally healthy. The Hor net sailed from Havannah on Sunday, the Ith inst. having rimier her convoy three brigs and a sloop, for ports in the United States. The French slave brig recaptured from the pirates by the Hornet, and carried into Havanna!), was released by Captain Henley to the Agents of that port, upon receiving nearly 10,000 dollars as salvage. We learn that a very favourable impression had been made at Ha vannah by the respect shewn to the Revenue Laws of that island by Captain Henley, in asking permis sion to take on board the salvage money, a courtesy not usually paid by British and other armed vessels; the permission was very promptly given. Extract of a private letter from New York, of the 21st August:—" The latest accounts from Philadel phia, Baltimore, Charleston, and Havannah, state that there was no appearance of the yellow fever at either of the above places; but considerable removals have taken place here to the country, owing to the yellow fever." The Duke of YORK visited the Kira on Saturday. Yesterday morning, at nine o'clock, his Royal High. ness left his house, in the Stable Yard, for Chevely Hall, near Newmarket, on a shooting excursion. It is expected his Royal Highness will attend the Races at Newmarket. __ Yesterday, the KING attended Divine Service at the Chapel Royal, St. James's; the Service was per formed by the Rev. R. C. NORMAN ; the anthem, 44 Blessed be thou, LoaD GOD of brad." Dr. CHALMERS yesterday evening preached an elo quent discourse from the Ist Corinthians, c. 4. v. 20. "For the kingdom of GOD is not in word,but in power," at the Wesleyan Chapel, City-road. The Chapel was crowded to excess ; every aisle and staircase, even to the door,were completely filled. He also preached at the Caledonian Chapel, Cross -street, Hatton-garden. The street was thronged long before the Chapel doors were opened, and many attempts were made to get in at the windows. Not , ..ithstanding so great a rush, the moment Service be *:m everything was perfectly quiet. A handsome monu.).ent has been erected in the Abbey Church, Bath, to the memory of Dr. PARRY, father of Captain PARRY. U . 4 • !i i ; • .. il 1
