The Cabinet Council, which assembled yesterday, was for the double purpose of considering the new ar rangement of the Ministry and the diplomatic mission to the Congress. It is now fixed that the latter charge will devolve on the Duke of WELLINGTON ; and that his Grace will leave town to-morrow or Saturday for Vienna. The delay that has occurred in nominating a successor to the late Marquis of LONDONDERRY has not been in consequence of a difficulty of finding a per son qualified for the office of Foreign Secretary, but on account of the doubts as to who is best able to take the lead on the Ministerial side in the House of Commons. One portion of the Ministry, with the Earl of LIVERPOOL at their head, still persists in the necessity of retaining Mr. CANNING for that purpose. —Another party, which includes the LORD CHAN CELLOR (who is said to have some personal dislike on the subject), thinks that the " machine of Go-vern silent," as Lord CASTLEREAGH was wont to call it, may be kept in motion without the assistance of the Right Honourable Gentleman; and, indeed, as it is but a sort of Ministerial Tread Mill, in which, like that at Brixton, the parties, once in, act simultane ously, there is perhaps little doubt but they are right. The Anti-CANNING party are, however, believed to have a powerful support in the repugnance which exists in a higher quarter ; and it is believed that no thing but a conviction of the absolute necessity of, adding Mr. CANNING to the present Ministry in order to keep it together, will change the destination al ready assigned him. French Papers of Monday have been received.— They confirm the account given in the STAR of yes- terday from the Bayonne Papers, of the defeat of the Insurgent Monk, known by the name of the Trappist, by the Constitutionalists. The rebel leader had a very narrow escape, and hopes are still entertained that he will be arrested. _ _ _ The Court of Assizes at Poitiers continued its sit ting on the 30th ult. but nothing transpired to throw the least light on the character of the plot, or of the principal actors. Witnesses were examined as to the share which six of the accused, Fradin, Ricque, Lem. bent, Senechault, Ledein, and Dufresne, had in the transactions. The testimony was as usual, very con tradictory, and the facts proved were very trivial. The witnesses varied in many instances from their former depositions, and in other cases pleaded forget fulness of facts they had previously sworn to. On the whole, very little resulted from the day's proceedings. From the nature of the evidence brought forward, it is evident that the object of the prosecution is rather to implicate LA FAYETTE, BENJAMIN CON STANT, and the other leaders of the Liberals in the conspiracy, than to punish those who are now charged with being its authors ; and that if General BERTON would lend himself to that view, lie would save his own life and those of his real accomplices. A report is given of the proceedings of the Assize Court at Paris, relative to the affair at Rochelle, on the 30th and 31st of August, and the Ist of Septem ber, but there is nothing interesting in the details. Lord BURCHERSH, British Minister to the Court of Florence, arrived at Paris on the Ist inst. from Lon (len, and it is said is to proceed to the Congress cf Verona. Sir WILLIAM A'COURT, the Ambassador to S i ,ain, is also kt Paris on his way to Madrid. 'file Gazette of Augsburg announces that the King of NAPLES is expected at Leghorn. M. LEMERCIER, the French Tragic Poet, Author of Agamemnon, has been engaged two years at great work, in which he proposes to bring regenerated Greece on the scene. The title of his work, which is in a state of great forwardness, is Les Martyrs de Swill, or Epirus Regenerated. The Ami dela Churte has given an account of the affair at Nantes on the 26th ult. which is stated to frar•c been occasioned by the insolence of the Swiss soldiers of the garrison, who had on the preceding day insulted several females, and wounded one with a sabre. The irritation was increased on the 26th by the Swiss soldiers, posted near the Place de Com merce and the Exchange, maltreating a man whom they were conveying to the guard-house. In conse quence of the al cation which this occasioned, the Swiss made a clAseon the people who had assem- bled in that quarter. The interference of the Civil Authorities appbars, however, to4:tikyrevented any serioua mischief from taking placnil.l4—ispresentation,, signed by 165 of the principal eit‘eus, demanding the punishment of the Commanding Swiss Officer, has been addressed to the Magistrates, who promised to transmit the complaint to the King's Attorney.

The Austrian Ob server of the 22d and 23d ult. contain patticulars of the death of the Marquis of LONDONDERRY, but they are wholly silent as to the affairs of Greece and Turkey. The Allgemeine Zeitung has an article from Sem• lin of the 14th of August, which gives extracts of letters from Bitoglia, Seres, and Joannina, up to the ,31 of thix month. It is now, not the Bth of July as was at first repeatedly asserted, nor even the 14th, as was subsequently stated, that the great battle took place in which the army of CHOUREoHID.PACHA was destroyed (it seems, says the Allgemeine Zeitung, to, have been on some day between the 15th and 21st); it is no longer at the passage of the Thermopylae, that it was fought, and there is no longer any mention of the tales of 4 , two thousand Mainote women enrolled by the Archbishop GERMANO, or of the children, ten years of age, who rolled stones upon the Turks from the tops of the mountains!" The following is the new version ; but as it pro ceeds from the same source as those we had before, the anterior variations are not calculated to give it much credit; it is remarkable, that in some piints it comes near to the narrative in the Austrian Observer• The Correspondent, however, promises to rectify what may be found in the sequel to be destitute of authenticity : we may, therefore, expect a further version.—" CHOURSCHID PACHA had really passed the Thermopylz, with only a part of his army, and he had proceeded with the other part towards Salona, to reach Lepanto. At first he really obtained some advantages, which induced the Greeks to take the prudent resolution to occupy a stroner position on the Lake or River Sperchios (now Alammann). There the Greeks came into the rear of the Turks on all sides, and completely defeated them. The following are. extracts: TRIESTE, AUGUST IS. A letter from Durazzo, in Turkish Albania, says: " The Greeks gained a great victory near Thermo pylae on the 18th of July. Chourschid's expedition against the Morea has failed, and his army is de stroyed. Coron and Modon had surrendered before, and Patras will soon fall.", BERLIN, AUGUST 23. The wife of Mr. Fonk is now here, and is univer sally pitied and respected. It is hoped that her Peti tion for mercy, which is drawn up in the most moving terms, will be favourably received by our benevolent Monarch. ST. PETBRSSURMI, AUGUST 14. All the Regiments of the Guards have now re turned to this City. They were reviewed on the 9th at Streina, on which occasion his Majesty expressed his satisfaction with their appearance. His Majesty sets out for Verona the day after to. morrow: it is thought that he will be absent six months. Mr. Rothschild, the banker, arrived here from E❑gland by sea on the 12th. Trade is very dull. The accounts from Nishnei, Novogorod, say that the great fair is not very fa vourable at the commencement, but it is hoped that towards the close more business will be done.

A letter from Odessa, of the 9th August, states the great inconvenience suffered by merchants for want of shipping, there not being twenty vessels in the port. New York Papers arrived this morning to the 10th of August, of which the following are extracts : FROM THE COMMERCIAL ADVERTISER OF AUGUST 8. Raruatic or COLlMBlA.—Accounts received at Philadelphia from Curacoa, to the 17th of July, state that Puerto Cabello continued to resist the reiterated attacks of the Patriot army; and it was supposed, notwithstanding the privations suffered by the gar rison, that it would hold out as long as the Spanish fleet maintained the superiority by sea : the fortress has always been considered the Gibraltar of South Arne, ica. A Spanish frigate,with five or six schooners, had arrived at Curacoa for provisions, but it was reported that they had no money to pay for them. On the 6th of July the Spanish brig of war Hercules sailed, with two or three schooners, for Coro ; the object of this movement was not known, but it was supposed they had gone to bring General Morillo and his troops from that place. The boats of the Spanish vessels laying off Porto Cabello had captured an American schooner, with a cargo of provisions, and the frames of three gun boats, said to be for the Patriot squadron at La Guyra. A letter from Belzin (Honduras), states that the leeward independent naval force had taken the Spanish armed brig Ramenata, of 18 guns, with a cargo of indigo and spice, worth 800,000 dollars, and the Spanish schooner Maria. They were waiting for three make as Attila; on Omona, they worrld ucceed. , NEW YOEK, " BOARD OF " TO Twit PIIZSIDZNIE or . " The Assistants beg leave to report, that they have discoverct no new case in the infected district since the last Report." The Mayor read a communication from the Go vernor, dated Albany, the Sd instant, authorizing the Municipal Authorities to make use of the buildings at Fort Richmond, as the health of the city might require. • A letter was read from Dr. Burdett, of Philadel phia, who had been commissioned by the Board of Health in that city to ascertain the state of health at New York, propounding divers queries as to the existence, extent, and origin of the Rector-street fever; the communication was referred to the Health Com- iniisioners. Capt. Whitlock submitted a request that he might have leave to remove his vessel from a wharf in the infected district ; but the Board refused to recede from the order of yesterday. Millet man Taylor removed his motion of yesterday, to fence up the infected district. AUGUST 7. " The Board of Health having expressed an opinion that the atmosphere in Rector-street and its vicinity was injurious to the health of the inhabitants and others resorting to that part of the city, and believing that the preservation of the public health, and the opinion of the Public, call for the measure, have or dered that the several Refaces leading to the infected districts be forthwith fenced up : it is also hereby ordered, that' all ves sels at the wharfs within the said district be removed to such place as the President of the Board of Health and the Health Commissioners shall direct; and that no vessel shall be per mitted to come to, or lie at, any of the said wharfs, until further orders of the Board, under the penalties of the law in such cases provided.

On Saturday, after a most laborious and distressing investigation, the Court of Magistrates and Free holders, organised for the trial of insurgent slaves, adjourned, and was dissolved. On the 26th instant, about eight o'clock, heent..y two culprits expiated, on the gallows, the crime of which they had been convicted, an attempt to raise an insurrection, not only in this city, but in various parts of the State of South Carolina. On the same day six other slaves were tried and found guilty, and condemned to be executed to-mor row. Five slaves were condemned to imprisonment, and five more sentenced to transportation beyond the limits of the United States. ee more Tenets o4 r urOz? wherfit *Hi lict L ej • 4 4 "` 'irN • AUG ;tit IL 1. 1 • b I . 111 HSA LTII. /or til rxt SOAILD 11/ItALTW. • le FROM A BALTIMORE PAPER. The following address was composed and spoken by a young female orator at the late celebration of independence in Marlborough, Vermont: " Fathers, Mothers, Friends, and Fellow- Citizens—ln the ce lebration of the birth-day of our nation, we, the representatives of the confederated States of the Union, come among you to join in the general joy, bringing with us the declaration of the inde pendence of these United States, which we pray you to receive and cause to be read from that sacred desk in the presence of this numerous assembly, that it may recall to the memory of the aged those principles of political liberty for which they fought and bled; and that it may impress upon the minds of the rising ge• neration, that abhorrence of royal tyranny, and love of repub lican liberty, without which the independence achieved by their ancestors can never be maintained. " Accept, then, from us this precious pledge—precious to your sister States, who we on this occasion represent, and more than precious to the inhabitants of these green mountains, who laid the corner-stone of our independence at the battle of Bennington. " And when you receive this chart, rest assured, venerable fa thers and mothers, that though the father of his country, the great Wasnuorron, sleeps in his lowly tomb at the base of Mount Vernon, and only three of those Patriots who signed this decla ration of our independence yet linger on this side the grave, yet there is —blessed, and for ever blessed be a merciful GOD !-a generation arising who will never surrender tamely that lade , pendence for which their fathers suffered, bled, and died." A private letter received this morning from New York, dated August 8, says—" The business of this city continues dull, and some apprehensions are en tertained of sickness ; as yet, however, there is no particular fear on the subject, and the weather is now favourable to health. There has been some failures here, particularly the old established house of Jones and Clinch." We have received the Sierra Leone Royal Gazette, of the 15th of June. It contains interesting details of the successful attack of the boats of the IPIIIGENIA on the Slave-traders in the Bonny, in June last. The result of the enterprize was worthy of the gallantry displayed in its execution. It effected the liberation of no less than one thousand six hundred and fifteen of our fellow-creatures. In less than three months, more than two thousand Negroes had been rescued from the cruel grasp of French, Spanish, and Por tuguese dealers in human flesh, and thus saved from perpetual slavery. Yesterday afternoon, at three o'clock, a Cabinet Council was held at the Foreign Office, in Downing street, which was attended by the LORD CHANCEL LOR, Earl of LI VIIRPOOL, Viscount SIDMOUTH, Mr. PEEL, Earl BATHURST, the CHANCELLOR of the Ex- CHEQUER, Viscount MELVILLE, Mr. IiiRAGO6 mottsr, and Mr. F. ROBINSON. The Council broke up at a quarter past four o'clock. The LORD CHANCELLOR, Viscount SIDMOUTH, and Sir C. Lotto, had audiences of his MAJESTY yesterday.

Yesterday a Court of Directors was held at the East India House, when CHARLES MILLS, jun. Esq. took the usual oaths and his seat as a Director, in the MOTH Of JOHN INGLIS, Esq. deceased. The Dinner which was to have taken place at the Vice-regal Lodge, Dublin, on the 12th id AitAtt,,t, iu honour of our most gracious and beloved SovEhEIGN'S Birth-day,was unavoidably po , tponed in consequence of the sudden and lamentable death of our lat e 1. lant and venerable Commander of the.

After dinner his Excellency gave "The King—long life, health, ha ppine,s, honour, and glory to his Majesty ;" after hich the usual loyal toasts were given, and appropriate ;tit s played by tile excellent band of the 7th Htis , ,ars. We hear that Mr. HOME is to be in Aber:l:Tit next week; and that preparations ate making to pay him some mark of respect.—Aberdeen We cannot but feel much for the persons whn have been discharged from the lloyal Duck-yards and other public institutions. Many of them are heavily bur dened with families, and thrown upon the world with out resource, after indulging thc reasonable hope and expectation that national economy would direct its attention to higher objects, which may adrni: of pro per reduction, and not condescend to trespass on hu manity, and expose humble and useful industry to indigence and desperation. The General Turnpike Act, passed during the last Session, completely sets at rest the question of Dis senters being exempt front paying ton on Sundays, when proceeding to their usuai places of worship. The Act states (section 32) that tolls shall not be ce manded or taken "of or from any person or persons going to or returning from" his, her, or their usual place of religious worship, tolerated by law, on Sun days, or on any day on which Divine Service is by authority ordered to be celebrated." _ _ A Mr. ABRAHAM BLESSING is a candidate for the next Legislature of Maryland. The Baltimore Tele graph hopes he will be elected, as they have long been ►n want of a Blessing in their State Legislature. Sir HENRY BUNBURY, Bart. has sent a circular to his tenantry in Suffolk, recommending them to ab stain from the use of thrashing machines, during the ensuing winter. The occupiers of land in the parishes of Merfield and Marle:ford, in order to keep the L bourers employ ed during the winter, have announced their determination not to use any thrashing machines. A numerous Meeting of Hoxne Hundred has agreed to a similar resolution. IRELAND.—We (Carlow Post) are sorry to find that outrage is again beginning to raise its head in an ad jcining county. Nye did hope that the late cala mitous visitance of the South of Ireland might have had some effect upon the country at large, by sllew ing the evil consequences which always attend such practices ; but we much fear - that the people who thus allow themselves to be exercised in every vice, can only be effectually cured by the most exemplary puniihment : the following extract of a letter J . , om Baltinglass proves the fact :—" About one o'clock on Friday morn'nl last, the coach-house belonging to General Saneers, of Goldenfort, near Baltinglass, was maliciot sly set fire to, and totally consumed, together with some adjoining out•o@'ices, and all therein. The loss on this occasion is estimated at several hundred pounds." A few days ago one of the Rifle Brigade,quartered at Kilfinny Common, near Adare,was attacked in a most brutal manner, by a fellow armed with a scythe, who rushed out of a public-house, and cut him so that his life is in danger. The owner of the house has been committed to Bridewell until the perpetrator be knot% Friday night Patrick Redmond accompanied Tho mas Blood to his residence in Patrick-street. On their arrival Blood, being in a state of inebriety threatened to shoot his wife, and- for that purpose took eown a loaded pistol which had lain on the chimney-pie.e. Redmond, to prevent him putting his threat into execution, attempted to wrest the pistol from him, when, unfortunately, his humane interference occn sioned the pistol to go off, and the contents (small shot) lodged in his thigh above the knee, but we arc very happy to add the wound is not considered dangerous. On application of the police to ltedmon.! to give information, for the purpose of having 131- arreste3, he refused, saying he knew it was accidental. PETIZIFACTION.—AII elderly Gent!eman,wh9 late:y died in Fayette County, State of Kentucky, previously to his death requested that his daughter's remains should be disinterred and placed by the side of his own. His daughter had been buried about eleven years, is the County of Bourbon, Kentucky. Alter his decease, the old Gentleman's request was complied with. Ta the great surprise and astonishment of those erg iged in raising the daughter's remains, her body was found to be entire, and of its full size. On a minute examination, it was found to be pet fectly petri fied—its specific gravity w,as about the same as that of common lime-stone. The coffin was entirely decayed. Her countenance had undergone so small an altera tion that her husband, it is said, on - beholding her, Lainuid.—American Paper. q i
