AFC,. 4.--From the Ist of f.lay last to the snth of June, '1,039 English families embarked at Brighton for France; and it is not from that port alone that the P.hglish •et sail. 'Elicit are consequently a great number of them in this country, especially at Paris, where they are net at every step. N•A VIES; Jt•tY 23.—" Within three few slays we have seen Monks of 1..1 Trepp :naive here from England, where they have rein tined riming their exile. Au laigl..sh Gentle. limo, Mr. Weld, has generously given them ass nylons for 22 years. T h ey embarked at Weymouth on the to of July, on board °fa French frigate, and they brosight wills them their tostroments of Agricolture, whieli ave the' most hop Fos eel kind, and liar the exportation of which the British Govern ment gave tette pm mission. It is to the ancient Abbey of La Meillerai, which behhiged to their Order iu the time of St. Bernard, that they are now going; and which 1143 bt:CII restored to them by the g(vitiness (Atli,. King. Among their number are several Englishmen cf distinc lion, who have • attached themselves to the Order. These poor but grateful Monks have addressed a very pathetic let ter of thanks to the Minister of Marine, for sending them a frigate to convey them home ; and to the Captain, who treat ed them with great attention, they presented a most vallias ble sword. It was the dying gift to the Convent of one of • their brethren, also had used it in support of his legitimate Sovereign. SPAIN. The first steam boat that has appeared itiSpain was latinel ed on the Guadalquiver, which rises in New Castile, on the Bth ofJuly last, being the birth day or the Queen. The Minister of Finairce, Don Martin Garay, on the 30th May, required the Supreme Council of Finance, in tits name of the King, to transmit its opinion with respect to the ex pediency of a general amnesty, •whether with certain ex ceptions or whether' as a means of general conciliation, in favour of individuals of different political opinions, either in the interior of the kingdom or abroad. On the ith of June the Council delivered to his 'Majesty its opinion on this impor tant subject. That opinion recommends a total oblivion of all the political-offences wind* took place during the convul sions of the State as the-only mode of tranquilizing the king dom, and.preventing those by whom they had been counnitted from being reduced to the alternative either of renouncing their country, their family, and their property, or of seeking the min of a Government by which they were treated so se verely. The Council concludes its report by recommending ' the day of the delivery of her Majesty the Queen, for the publication of this amnesty, " a day," it says, " full of bles sings and joy, designed by Divine Providence for the etcrnal reconciliation of the great Spanish family." PRUsSIA. BERLIN, JULY 24'. That fine building, the Royal.'Na tional Theatre in this city, is .detroyed. This forenoon, between 12 and one, the fire suddenly broke out in the right wing, which spread so rapidly that in half an hour the whole building was in flames. A violent wind blowing towards the building of the Royal Commercial Establish. ment, excited great alarm fur that also, for a large firebrand was carried to a part of it and had nearly set fire to two of the houses. The keeper of the Theatre has saved but a few of his effects. It was not possible to think of saving the wardrobe, the decorations, the library or the music, be cause, in the wing where the fire broke out there were 10 hogsheads of clarified oil, which it was also impossible to bring away, and which kept up for many hours a tremend ous flume. We have to thank the activity of the firemen and of the police,•that the two churches between which the theatre stood, as well as the neighbouring houses, did not also become the prey of the-flames. Burning coals carried by the wind were found in several distant streets. The "ilamage is estimated at above a million and a half (of erownsf probably.) This terrible event reminds us of the burning o St. Peter's Church. When the post set off the lower story ...was still burning, but firs great danger is over. nERSIANY. While the extraordinary hopes of an abundant harvest are everywhere throughout Germany exciting delight, the in habitants along the horde's of Ute Rhine seem to be excluded • front this general joy. It is calculated, that between Constance and Nlayence, in descending the river, there are more than 90,000 acres under water, the vegetation of which is neatly deatroyed. In a single district attic Grand Duchy of Baden, these are 1,100 acres ruined by hail storms or inundations. al•imm.mi••• RUSSIA.

On Thursday last, new wheat was sold at Oxbridge market, belonging to Mr Cain, of , Denham, Bucks, for gal. a load, and weighing 631 b. per bushel, eight gallon measure : and on the same day the same gentleman exhibited bread made from the same growth of wheat. CHFa. MSFORD, At.u. 8.--‘-The wheat harvest has partially commenced in various parts of this county. The wheats appear to die in most places particularly handsome, and not withstanding the late rains Mid boisterous weather, nre s cry upright, which will give the advantage of its standing longer, and require less fit Ming after it is served. The Barleys and the Oats are much behind the 'Wheats in most places; there are, however, sonic exceptions, where the Oats are even for warder than the Wheat. Both Barleys and Oats promise a much greater produce than expected • the late rains having brought them forward, and rendered them a much more even crop. The Pease are said to be a good crop. The bay harvest has been longer in duration than known tin many years; there is still a considerable breadth to mow. The wheat harvest commenced last week in Bucks and Bells; and it began Wednesday, at Box, in our neighbour hood.—(Bath Chronicle.) The Oat harvest has conanenced in Kent, with every pro- mise cf trutost abniulant crop. Some samples were shewn at Canterbury market, On Saturday last, which produced tut) pounds per quarter. Portysmuum, At c. s.—The Wheat harvest commenced partially yesterday in this neighbourhood, and will be ge neral the latter end of the week. The crops were never finer, and the weather now appears settling most favourably fur securing them.

Box IN u. —The Renewed battle between It. Ford, thelloreflosl shire navigator, and I. Crutcbley a farmer, from Leicestershire, took place on Monday, in Batt's Meadows, on the banks of the I.ea, for 20 guineas a-side. The men blackened each other's eyes on the pre ceding Thursday, but they weve stopped, after fighting two rounds, to the credit of the Magistrates of the district—we wish we could f much power ; say as much on th e present occasion.—Crutchley is a 13 stone loan, o he had done much execution amongst the country sommeners, hut a scientifi c man, much interior in weight, would soon reduce his strength. The navigator was not so powerful a man but he had a knack of hitting straight with the left hand. Eight rounds were fought in 26 minutes.— In the nth round, Crutchley was I as blind as a bat, and he was finishertright out by a hit in the wind, which prevented his coniing agaim—The lancet was of no avaiL The seconds were, J. Jones for Ford, and Holloway for Ciutchley. The blekguardism of the day ended in a match at single sticks, between Farrell and Baker, and after a combat of To minutes, Far rell was bled an inch, and Baker took the prize of a guinea and a new hat. It is needless to add, these disgraceful spectacles were at tended by the customary assemblage of Black legs in high life as well as in low. Capt.

He (the Learned Counsel) was not aware that there was any opposition to the motion, as, from the Master's report, the soil of 34,0001. was due to the Plaintiff. The Defendant himself admitted that a con siderable sum i• 15 due to the Plaintiff. Under those consi derations, lie had no doubt but hiaLordsbip would grant the motion. Barber followed on the itanmside. Sir Samuel Romilly, Connsel for the Defendant, contende d that his Lordship ought not to grant the motion except the whole of the purchase money was paid into Court, for at pre sent the' Plaintiff was in possession and enjoyment of the property, without having paid one shilling into Court. Mr. Heald followed on the same side. Mr. Hart replied. The Lord Chancellor said, that when he opened the sale for the resale of the Opera House, lie did nut think more money would have been offered*for it, lie way, however, mis taken, which certainly Fliewed his want of know ledge of fa shionable life, as a number of the Nobii.'ty had collectively bid for it, and raised the purchase money from 40,0001. to 71.0001. He would read over the several affidavits that night, and it should be open for the discussion of Counsel to morrow. Further consideration postponed. —at ETCALF TIIOMPSOW. This.was an application to dissolve an injunction which had been granted by the Vice Chancellor, to restrain the defendant from making hair brushes fur the hair, similar to these for which the plaintiff had obtained a patent. Itappaired, that in September last thepatent was granted formaking what the plaintiffchoose to cull patent taper hair brushes; andthe principle en which they were made was, that the hairs in them were of unequal lengths. The defendant contended that this was no new invention ; and produced a number of witnesses to prove that they had never known any other mode of making brushes but with hairs of unequal lengths mufti they were properly trimmed. The defendant had in ;October last given the plaintiff notice that he would continue to make brushes like those of the plaintiff; and even entered an aetionon the validity , of Ins patent, in Easter Term, by writ of :city facial ; which could not be tried till after the long va • cation. The plaintiff had taken no steps to establish the validity of his patent, except by filing his bill for an injunction only. On the part of the plaintiff, it was contended that the arrangement and distribution of the hair in his brush was entirely new ; at the same time it was admitted that it was next to impossible for any man at first to make a brush. the hairs of which should be all equal before they were trimmed. No delay had taken place on the part of the plaintiff in defending his patent, for he was content to have it deci ded by ~ • firefirias ; but finding that could not be tried till after the long vacation, he was constrained to file his bill for the injunction. The Lord Chancellor said, lie did not find any thing about the newness of arrangement and distribution of the hairs in this brush. in any part of the spectieation of the patent ; and as this plaintiff, instead of supporting his own patent, had suffered himself to be made defendant in the acirejihitis, he would dissolve the mjunetion.
