Lois Potosi, a plan for forming an army, to be called The Protecting Army of Mexican Liberty." The avowed objects of this plan are to strengthen the gua rantees of popular liberty, to hasten the convocation of the Congress which is to prepare the political constitution of the State, and to protect the provinces in their design 'to constitute confederated Republics. The Brigadier had stigmatised, as enemies of liberty, all persons opposed to his plan, had caused himself to be declared General of the Army, and had arrested all the Officers who opposed his measures. The publica tion of the Secretary of State condemns this plan on the ground of irregularity, but admits the justice of the ob jects, which are asserted to be the same the Govern went has in view. The Proclamation, which is a Cir cular addressed to the provincial Authorities, calls upou them to co-operate in preserving order. What the re ult has been does not appear. NAVAL I.NTELLIGENCE.

We are sorry to announce the severe loss which the Vat)lic has sustained by the death of that eminent physi- Tian, Dr. MATTHEW Bari.r.rz, who died at his seat near Cirencester, on Tuesday last. He was considered, in -many points of view, as being at the head of his • pro fession; and, next to his family and immediate connec tions, none will be more sensible of his loss than the Gentlemen of his own profession. 'in the afternoon of Saturday last, an affair, which ecciirrcd from a rigid desire of exercising duty, had mead y proved of serious consequence to Prince LEOPOLD. his Royal Highness had been on the water, enjoying the fine breezes off Ramsgate, and had kept out till the shades of evening had dosed upon him ; but when about returning, he was hailed by the Commander of a Revenue cutter, cruising off that harbour, in the usual way ; no answer being returned, a gun was fired ; still no answer was given; when a shot was fired, and the boat was soon after boarded by the crew of the cutter, overhauled, and the Royal party treated as smugglers. The departure of the Emperor of AUSTRIA is fixed for the 18th. His Highness Prince METTERNICH, with a few attendants, sets out for Czernowitz on the I,Stb. It is thought that his Majesty will be in Vienna again by the 24th of October. Her Majesty the Duchess of PARMA passed through Salzburg on the 4th inst. returning to her dominions through tbe Tyrol. NAVAR.RO &ANDRADE, who was formerly Am bassador Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary from the King of PORTUGAL to the Austrian Court, who was recalled after the Revolution which took place in Portugal, but is now re-appointed to the same post, had the honour, on the Bth inst. to deliver to his Majesty his new credentials. On the Bth of this month, the Papal Nuncio, Count LEARDI, had the honour to present - to the Emperor of AUSTRIA, in a private audience the customary letter of the Sacred College, for the notification of the death of his Holiness Pope Pius VII. His Majesty, profoundly afflicted at the loss of a Head of the Church distin guished for his virtues, wisdom, mildness, and heroic firmness, had not waited for this formal notification to give the necessary orders for performing, in all the Me tropolitan Churches of the empire, the solemn funeral service usual on such occasions; and, at the same time, the reading of public)nayers for the happy issue of the approaching Conclave.—Yienne Court Gazette. Letters from Copenhagen of the 13th inst. mention, that at a dinner recently given la Christiania by Count de SANDELS, the Viceroy of Norway, to a party of Gen tlemen filling the post of Governors of Swedish pro visa's, some expressions uttered by him in relation to Sweden were thought so personally insulting to the company present, that no less than nine of them sent ilim dmOriel the int oy, It was not known whether the Count let epted the challenges or not. A vessel called the George, has, we understand, ar rived at Liverpool from Pernambuco, which met at sea a Portuguese vessel from Maranham, and bound to Lisbon, that reported that General MADEIRA had ar rived at itlaranham with pat t of the Bahia expedition. It is generally thought that the Portuguese Gener a l had recetvedurdersfrom the Lisbon Government to go to the above place, incase he was obliged to evacuate Bahia, and this accounts for his not having reached the Tagus. An order has been issued by the Portuguese Govern ment, through the 'Revenue Department, for the Lisbon bank to discount the t aper of the 4 11031 e Pio and the navy, and even to make advances for the workmen in the ai my and navy. Yestet day a Court cs Ditecrors wits held at the East ir:dia House, when tlw, following shipss stationed for China direct, were tiny. timed, viz.

LORD DONERAiLk A rumour was actively propagated this day, to the effect that Lord DON/RAILS was fired at by some secret assassins, in his own Park yesterday. The confi dence with which this, we are most happy to say,fabri cation, was asserted, may be inferred from this circum stance, that we were actually referred to a Gentleniao of rank, whe was stated to have read the whole ac count of it to our informant, from a letter which he had received from the scene of the alleged attempt of assassination; and, on our repairing to this Gentleman, he had not only not received any such letter, but he , was enabled to say the whole was totally devoid of any foundation, as the respected Nobleman whose name was mentioned, is, and has been for some time, at Dunmore, near Waterford.— Cork Advertiser of Saturday. Tas MURDERERS OP rms FRANKS FAIIILY. FROM THE CORE MERCURY OF SATURDAY. On the authority df a lett& which we have seen from a respectable Gentleman, near Mallow, we have much gratification in communicating the intelligence that ALL the barbarians engaged in that most diabolical murder, have been apprehended, and that one of them has turned approver. FROM THE SOUTHERN REPORTER OF THE SAME DATE. There were hopes, from some reports which were in circulation yesterday and this day, that the remorse of some of those implicated in the inhuman transaction, had even outrun the eddy interference of the Govern. meat, and it was stated, with some appearance of con fidence, that five persons had been apprehended on the information of one who knew of every particular con nected with the murder and of all the previous arrange menu for it. We believe, however, that there is no au. thot ity for the rumour, and that, up to the present mo ment, no other light than what suspicion casts, has fallen upon the perpetrators of the bloody deed. FROM THE CORK ADVERTISER ALSO SAME DATE We have been informed that two persons have been arrested, who are suspected of having been concerned in the above murder. HOHENLOHE NECROMANCY. We understand that it is the intention of the Jesuits to suspend the further performance of Miracles until the Ist of January next. We give them full credit for this instance of ingenuity. It was, no doubt, very difficult to find fit subjects for the delusion monthly. It is wise to take more time—quarterly, perhaps, or only twice a ' year, will answer much better; monthly operations were 'too rapid—there is nothing like doing a job well—it gives satisfaction to all parties. The Irish are prover. bially quick, and there is a great many of them—by the last census, the exact number of persons in Ireland is, 6,501,812; but, notwithstanding their quickness and num ber, we can easily conceive, that the Jesuits found no small difficulty in preparing monthly exhibitions. It is not every person who is sick, lame, or blind, that will suit the purpo,e. The patient must be prepared—a female is preferred—she must first be persuaded that she is dying, if' it be intended to recover her from an incurable disease—or if she has, or thinks she has, any stiffness in her joints, she must baieve that she cannot walk a step—or, if she has any weakness in her organs of vision, she must be convinced that .she is totally blind —but this, although it be a greet deal, is, yet, not all: —she must have the art to carry on the deception for some weeks, the longer the better, it improves the miracle, and finally, she must have the hardihood to swear to what nobody of common sense believes. On the whole, it must be admitted that there are many points required, and many considerations necessary, in order to get up a miracle in a proper style, and really, " to give the Devil his due," the Jesuits deserve praise for the activity they have already manifested in the clever working of Hohenlohe necromancy, in Ireland. The first of next month will spew whether our in formation as to the postponement of the miracle sys tem be correct. In the meantime the Priests are busy; they are everywhere preaching in favour of Holsesslohe necromancy, and some of them have been trying small miracles, on their own account. But this will not do— Dr. Murray will soon stop this pettyfogging way of going to work—miracles must come from head-quarters —they are not such easy matters as to be performed by every Priest in Ireland, who may have the ambition to rival a Bishop. It required all the piety and talents of Dr.. Murray and twenty-four Priests assembled in Iloly Communion at Ranelagh, to bring forward one miracle in a becoming manner. The examination of evidence, comparing testimony, writing it down, avoiding incon sistency, as far as possible, shaping the whole to suit the taste of believers, and, in fine, nyanaging Doctors and Nuns, so as to bring out the air in a creditable way to the Church, is attempting a labour quite beyond the reach of any but the Bishops, and, therefore, inferior members must not presume to encroach upon the privi leges of their betters. Whether Hohenkhe necromancy has received any check from the deep indignation of all the rational part of the community, we cannot decidedly pronounce ; but certain we are, that if the higher orders of the Ro man Catholic Laity do not utterly and promptly repu diate the pretended miracles, Mr. O'Connell may/put the Catholic Petition in his pocket, or apply it to any natural purpose he may judge necessary. In truth, the Jesuits have recently furnished the enemies of the Catholic Claims with a strong argument against them, and it will certainly be employed with more or less elect on those who feel a higher or lower degree of dis gust at the barefaced tricks of the Hohesilohe necromancy.

SCOTTISH CIRCUIT The e Circuit Court Was opened on Friday, at Aber deen, by Lord Glut eg. William 'Forsyth, %NI - I& at Auchterless, accused of assault and rape, was outlawed for not appearing. Elisabeth Sutherland, residing at Ku khill of Turner,- hall, parish of Ellon, was accused of child murder, and .concealment of pregnancy. She pleaded guilty to the latter charge, but denied the murder. Several witnesses were examined with a view to establish the heavier charge: but the Jury found it Not Proven. They found her guilty of concealment, ia terms of her own conies- sion, and atter a solemn admonition from the Judge, she was sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment is the , jail of Aberdeen. William Duncan, residing in Patk-street, Aberdeen, was then brought forward, charged with the crime ri! murder. The unfortunate deceased in this case was the prisoner's mother. It appeared from the evidence, that during the day on which the fatal transaction leap petted, both the prisoner and the deceased had been very much intoxicated. About ten, P. M. the prisoner; and the deceased came into the house ; sonic words passed between them, and it would appear the mothet had fallen down the stars, wherery a dreadful wound was inflicted in the back of the head, loon the con.e , quences of which the deceased died fete was no evi dence to shew that die prisoner had been guilty of any act of violence against the deceased, although he had used very' Opprobribut language towards her. After the exami n ation of three itnesses, ssho were in the house, upon the occasion, and of two Medical Gentle men, Drs. Dyce and nhaikie, who had inspected the body of the deceased, the AovocaTE-Dxeura gave up the case, in consequence of which the Jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty, and the prisoner ivas dismissed. Mary Lamb, accused of concealment of pregnancy, pleaded Guilty. The Jury found in terms of her own corfessivin, and, after a suitable admonition, the was sentenced to six calendar mouths' imprisonment in the jail of Stonehaven. E ARMY.

GEORCE FINCIL—The remains of this la mented Officer were removed from Richmond Barracks, Dublin, at one o'clock on Saturday, and interred with military honours.— The procession was highly imposing : the band of the Queen's played the dead march in Saul, dec. The body, deposited in a richly mounted coffin, was placed in as elegant hearse with white plumes, and drawn by six horses; three Officers of the Queen's walked at each side of the body, wearing black silk scarfs; part of the Regi ment followed; the rear was brought up by a number of Officers in full dress uniform, two and two, with crape arm-bands and sword knots. The Hon. Gxoaar Fixes died at Richmond Barracks, on the 16th instant, of a typhus fever. He was the youngest brother of the Lan of ATLI:MUD, and the Hon.

The match WAS for a purse of twenty-four sovereigns, given by Mr. Mann, landlord of the Nine Elm, 'ravens, Battersea, who, being anxious to make it one of the finest on the watery element, had selected the six following prite-watermen for the sport : Names. Belt:Pugin; to. C dour& Edward Farlow - - Whitehsll - Scarlet. Jas. Covington - - Westminster - Purple.. Chas. Westwood - W hit riszil - - Orange. Richard Parson - - Bankside - Light Blue. henry Turton Nir.e Elms - - Green. George Coll Bank side - - Yellow. The conditions of the waget were, that it ih.suld be decided itt two bests, and the first three boats only of the first heat were enti tled to contend for the grand heat. About tour o'clock, the competitors having placed themselves in order, its the centre of the river, near buoys off the Nine Elms, pro ceeded from thence upwards, in grand style, rowed round a boat moored off the Red house, Catterset', down the Surrey shore, round I another boat stationed opposite Cumi.erland Gardens, and then bade again to the Nine Elms. The whole lennth was most admirably contested by each competitor, who, confident of his uwi, strength a-id success, strained every nerve to pass his antagonist : however, Purple came in first at the starting-place, Light Blue second, and Scarlet third, pursued by the others. who, although losets, exerted themselves to the utmost, which was fully proved by the hearty cheers they received from their friends. After the first heat was over, Cull charged Westwood with foul ing him in the course of the race, and insisted that it wag an unfair heat, and that it ought to be rowed over again ; on the other hand, the successful candidates were of a different opinion, and refused to listen to 2nytbiug in the shape of foul play. Coif, however, Strongly contended it was foul, and suggested that the six should row again together, and the first come in win the wager. This did not, how ever, meet with any approbation, and the first beat *as then de clared foul by the umpires, and must be rowed over again. SCOTTISH PASTI MRS. raArekony or cif.trur.s. Wednesday se'linlght the annual competition among the Ancient Fraternity of Chapmen (Pedlars) was contested in the King's Park, Stirling, with more than usual energy. The day was favourable, and at one o'clock the field was crowded with persons Irons all quarters of the country, and the scene not a link enlivened by an elegant display of Ladies. The amusements commenced with foot-racing by boys, for a hat and stockings. The different races were well contested, and seemed greatly to interest the spectators. The putting-stone was next brought forward and admirably con tested. The first prize was eventually awarded to It. Carrick, from the Bridge of I)rcip, and the next to Peter Cameron, front Donne. The greatest distance thrown was twenty-nine feet four inches, with a ball of twenty-two pounds four ounces. The brethren, all mounted, with spear.in band, next took their stations round the Ring, evidently not a little anxious as to the result of the contest ; and on no former occasioc, in the recollection of the brethren present, had the address and dexterity of the Fra ternity procured them so much eclat. They improve with practice. Formerly to bear off the Ring four or five times within an hour was the utmost that the moat successful could aspire to. lien, however, two carried it off seven times ; and three four times. At the termination of the hour, Air. Sinclair and Air. Dick, being the most successful candidates, and standing t pal, the rest of the brethren retired, to give them an opportunity of deciding who was to claim the envtabk prize. Little more than a minute decided it in favour of Mr. Sinclair, who was consequently duly decorated with his honours on the spot, by the Lord Principal, amidst the cheers of the multitude. The next amusement was a foot race. Four started, once round the Course, when John IPLuckie was hailed the successful condi ' slate, having completely outstript his competitors, although for more r than half a mile the eintest was very keenly divots d. The company were then highly pleased with a well contested race, by Dick of Edinburgh, who rode a regular racer, and Mr. M'Gowan, who rode his horse at the ring. Dick took the race at l.o:h heats. Next in order was a race by a couple of asses, which, from the ardour of the youthful riders and the stupidity of the steeds, af forded much amusement. T hey rode round the Course, and were followed by at least 20 horsemen, who enjoyed the good humour of the riders, who although frequently compelled to act the part of Field Calkers, paid little regard to a smart fall, or the celerity with which the obstinacy of the coursers caused both the riders and their chargers to " fall reeling on the plain." '1 his rich west would hose afforded a still greater source ut amusement, were it not for a mul titude of boys who broke in to belabour the pour stupid animals, who, notwithstanding the force of power so liberally applied behind, seemed much mote inclined to make a retrograde movement, or go 50 yards of the Course. The Fraternity, as usual, retired to an inn, to spend the eves log together. MARGATE, SEPTEMBER 23.—This place has not been so much resorted to for many years p ►st at. so late a period in the season as at this moment ; and if our neip. hours at Ramsgate have to boast of their town being honoured by the residence of Royal Personages and fashionable company, Margate has also to claim no small share of ho►►our conlerzed from the frequent visits of the Royal Party and the Isle of Thanet visitors to UV cheering attractions and delightful amuse=ments.
