At a quarter of an hour after twelie o'cloCk, we saw coming into the port a ship with a flag of truce sent from Cadiz. All the population, both French and Spanish, ran to the port : they thought it was the King ; but Alava and the Count de Torres landed. Oar soldiers were furious that they were not permitted to attack the Island of Leon yesterday. On assisting the landing of the flag of truce, they cried out Where is the King The King, or the assault!'— Never was an army seen that displayed more enthu siasm.

NEPOTISM OF Tlig Popes.—Many former Popes evinced so much partiality to their nephews and other relations, that this habit became a subject of censure under the designation of Nepotism. The late Pope Pius VII. however, carried his scrupulous abstinence from Nepotism so far, that he would not permit one of his relations to set foot in Rome. His nephew, Prince SCIPIOSE CHIARAMONTE, was very desirous of visiting the Eternal City," and bad once nearly reached the gates of Rome,when a positive order from the Sovereign Pontiff compelled him to retrace his steps. The Prince, it is believed, will now fix his residence at Rome. The Neapolitan Government has inflicted an exem plary punishment on some of the most violent of the Carbonari. Five of theie men, who are said to have particularly distinguished themselves in exciting the people to revo& were tiled, found guilty, and con demned to death. Their names were GIANNONE, of Naples, VITA and PROTA, of Salerno, CARMNO, of Montepertoso, and TArunt, of Benincasa : the four first were executed on the 10th September—the punish ment of the Litter was commuted for imprisonment.

CaOYSTADT I AUGUST 31, 1823. Silt—The late losses in the Gulf of Vinland have di rected my attention to a fact, pretty Well known, but believe not saciently laid down in the blnts, namely, the force of the currents which pervade this gulf, and generally follow the wind. They draw with evat vio lence into the Scaars, commencing with the cpening into the Gulf of Bathnia, and extending to the eastern most point of Wyburg Bay, by which means the ships are often carried a good deal to the northward of their course, especially when the wind blows from the southward and westward. I mast further beg leave to state the existence of magnetic rocks in the Gulf of Fin land, and, I am told, in that of BOthnia, which have a great effect upon the compass, and which appear but little known to our Captains ; and while I dismiss gene ralities, permit me to refer particularly to those of Eka ness, to which I have been led to attend, in consequence of the loss of the James, Captain Ferrier. In the Russian charts it is expressly stated, near the Island Jussari, that " here the compass acts ill." which is a warning no human being could avoid attending to. On the Swedish charts, the self-same remark is made in the following words—" Mr Forvillas Compassen ;" but on retelling to my English chart, by Blachtord and Co. Tower- Hill, London, 1819, which is a compilation from the Swedish charts and those of General Spafarieff, Di rector of the Lighthouses, I find the Swedish words are copied verbatim, instead of being translated, which is a very serious omission ; - especially as an old pilot assures me, that all the rocks in that neighbourhood are more or less magnetic, and of course very apt to change, by acting on the compass, a vessel's course. I cannot learn at what distance they begin to act, but I shall try to as certain this point. While every book that is published is exposed to cri ticism, it is a pity that charts, on which the lives and fortunes of thousands depend, are not subject to the in spection of judges conversant in the original languages from which they are copied, in order to prevent what is meant as a warning being turned into the name of a place. I have further to inform you, that a beacon is erected on the very northernmost point of Ilogland, furnished with a bell, which will commence ringing on the 25th of September, in dark and hazy weather, till it clears up. To distinguish the sound of this bell from all others, it will be struck every fifteen stcoads, say four times in a minute ; a pause will then take place, during the space of five minutes, after which period, the ringing will re commence, till the weather clears up or the lights be come visible. The following subjects, I take the liberty of writing to you about, are the points of a correspondence with General Spafarieft and which he wishes to be known: Nargin light-house is now 45 feet high, but it is the intention of Government to raise it next year to 70 fret, as a better guard against the danger of the Revel stone. It is also determined to establish, next year, on the island of Fielsand, near the south end of Oesel, in the room of the present revolving light, two common light-houses, bearing north and south of one another, that ships coming from the westward may see both lights distinct from one another. The new light-house wIU be erected due north of the present one, and will be 5 5 feet lower, which will IN, a distinguishing mark, as one will be opened a short time before tEe other, and will prevent its being taken fur the light of Daggeroit. It sometimes happens that ships make this mistake, and by hauling too soon to the eastward, get between lioggeroit and Oesel. The error may be instantly discovered by having a light on the larboard side, which cannot be the case if the ship is in the right channel, be sides which the use of the lead would instantly discover the mistake, as the draught of water is so dift'erent on the respective sides of Daggeroit. It is also to be remarked, that when a ship runs close under Daggeroit from the westward, the light is observed by the tree; which position can immediately be ascertained by a cast of the lead. The current also often sets direct on the island of Oesel. The General likewise Matters me with the hope that next year a light-house will be erected on Stiesudden Point, a favour for which I have been applying ever since the ships were wrecked a few years ago in that neighbourhood. Seskar light is lost sight of for some time before that of 'l'albucbin can be discerned ; and in that space the current, which often sets two and three knots an hour into \Vy borg Bay, carries the ships to the northward of their course, and leads to their destruction.—l ant, dtc.

JONES, Esq.) held a Court of Inquiry in this prison, for investigating the circumstances attending the late disgraceful outrage, assault, and discipline of the pump on Mr. Roubel. That Gentleman recapitulated the whole of his evidence, as deposed before L. B. ALLEN, Esq. the Magistrate of Union Hall. He produced the I letter he had received from Jacobs, stating that he was recommended to apply to him professionally by Mrs. Piggott, which induced him to visit the Bench ; and confirmed the subsequent violence and loss he had sus tained. Many witnesses were examined, who fully cor roborated his statement as to the assault ; when, after a long and patient hearing, the following prisoners, against whom warrants had been lodged at the last ex amination before Mr. A LI.EN, were committed to close confinement in the County Prison, in Horsemonger lane's—Major Campbell, Captain Schnitzer, Jacobs, and Heyton. The other prisoners, Elvaston and Wright, who have " levanted," and exposed the " secrets of the prison house" in favour of Mr. itoubel, were, for the present, committed to safe custody in the strong over the lobby in the Bench. T. Pitman, the celeCtel racket-player, who was implicated in the charge, and, not being a prisoner, had been committed to Horse monger-lane Prison, by Mr. ALLEN, has since been ad mitted to bail. Palmeri liomeAsv.—On Sunday last the Royal Aca demy of Fine Atts at Paris, distributed its prizes. The Academy was filled with a fashionable body of specta tors, notwithstanding the heavy showers of rain that fell in the morning. This would be all that an English reporter, on a similar occasion, would say. I: They ma nage these things better in France." The Journal des Debate states the facts in the following exquisite style 'of absurd exaggeration t--" Never, pet haps, were the academies and academicians so much slandered. Never, however, were the academical assemblies more crowded with spectators. In vain did heaven pour down torrents of rain; the zeal of the multitudes that besieged the doors of the Institute could not be chilled. They con soled themselves against the inclemency of the weather, by the smartness of their epigrams. The pleasure of this-, amusement amply compensated the weariness of waiting for the opening of the doors. Such was the spectacle yesterday presented at the entrances to the academy." ' A French boy, who was regaling the ears of the Pub lic, I few weeks since, with certain -"chansons Fiancais," fell into the hands of the police. and was sent to Knuts ford tread-mill, under the new Act, for a month.

Of the sports of the field the least difficult part is bagging, and pigev.shooting is the most difficult. The partridge in general falls within twenty-one yards from the gun, whereas the pigeon takes wing in uncertain eight, at twenty-one yards from the gun, Spar row-shooting has been much practised this season, which, to an ex pert shot is tire. least 'difficult of the three. The match we are about to record is altogether a master-piece of shooting. • A friend of Mr. Arrovismith's made a match on Tuesday for Mr. A. to kill IS spar rows from 24, at sixteen yards from the trap, for a friendly sum of money.

A LAMB LIVING WITHOUT FOOD OR WATER 28 DAYS. lamb, six months old, the property of Mr. Charles Hall, junior, of Englishbatch, near Bath, was seen by Trim on the 31st of August. On the following morning the lamb was missing Lorn the field, when Mr. Hall, of course, made every search and enquiry after it, but in vain. On Sunday se'unigft (Sept. 28), Mr. Hall was walking in the same field, accompanied by his dog, through whose sagacity he discovered the lamb' in an old drain, liviug, and apparently in good health, though wasted in flesh.
