NSPITTi4N ON A VIM TO TUE SPA AT lIAKIiOWGATE. Duke Domum." As the Devil was flying o'er Harrogate Wells, His senses were charmed With the heat and the smells: I know not," ci lea hc, " in what region I roam, " tint I guess by the sweets, I and rery near home." Some particulars of the disturbance at Breslau, are communicated in private advices. An attempt, it appears, was made by the Government to impose a new oath, of a military nature, on the Burgher Guard of Breslau, which the members of that body refused to take. They alleged that they had already sworn allegiance as citi zens and subjects, and.that The exaction of a fresh oath was a, direct imputation on their lOyalty Fair means tailing, recourse was had to coercion. The supposed riugleaulers were seized and carried off to the for tress of Neisse. This proceeding being secretly managed, no part of it transpired until the following . day, when the city was thrown into an uproar ; the inhabitants paraded the streets by thousands, and not being apprised of the removal of their fellows, cried out with one accord for their release. This not being granted, they attacked the houses of the Civil and Nlilitary Authori ties, demolishing every thing in their way. The trot); a were then called out by the Government, and it was not until several volleys, and reiterated charges of the bayonet, that the angry multitude could be minced to submission. Great numbers are said to have been killed and wounded. Letters from Madrid state, that the people who trou ble themselves at all about public afihirs arc divided into two parties, both Royalists—the one fhr a limited monarchy, the other a despotic. it is hoped that the Finance Minister, Garay, will carry his plan into ef fect in spite of the opposition of bigotry, laical and cleri cal. The clergy have made every exertion to oppose this plan. Garay is supported by . Pizarro, the Minister fa. Foreign Aflitirs. There is u strong expectation at Madrid of aid from Russia against the Independents of Spanish America. One letter says—" On Russia great hopes of assistance are reposed, in subduing the Ameri can colonies. An inundation of Russian troops destined to this object is talked of, and this last calamity which can bethl these unfortunate regions is confidently anti cipated. An expedition of Spanish troops, to the amount of 15 or 20,000, is likewise preparing '; t.nd the singu larity is, that those soldiers and officers who are con sidered as disaffixted are destined for that service, for the purpos2, it is said, of removing out of the way sus picious characters. Sublime policy !"—Russia is in great favour at. Madrid, and, in fact, seems to be so through out Europe. In France particularly, the Russians are spoken of more favourably than any of the Allies. We are much concerned to state, that as Mr. Huskis son was on his return from his annual survey of the New Forest, on Thursday afternoon, between Havant and Emsworth, the axle-tree of his carriage broke, by ivhiCh accident the vehicle was overturned, and the right arm of Mr. Huskisson severely fractured. Two Gentlemen, who accompanied him, escaped unhurt.— The citizens of Chichester, who are greatly attached to their Representative, manifested the utmost concern on hearing of the accident. Mr. llnvell, the ingenious Artist, who accompanied Lord Amherst in the late Embassy to China, made some beautiful drawings, which have been preserved from the wreck of the Aleeste, but we understand the Botanist of the Embassy lost the whole ofhis collection of plants. A vein of rich copper ore has lately been discovered on an estate belonging to the Marquis of Buckingham, at Stnwcy, near Bridgewater, in a litnestone quarry, 20 feet below the surthee of the eat th. An alarming fire brae out last night, at a slop sellers in Fleet-market, which in a short time de stroyed that, and materially injured the two tuljoinito , Louses. A hackney coach which was passing at the time was also materially injured, in consequence of some sparks having got into the toot, among the hay, and which lay smothering,, unnoticed by the coachman, until he foand himself suddenly enveloped in rntoke and flame. iln :Atiuti. SUTCME.--On Saturday afternoon a gentleman of high rank, and of distinguished talent and connesiuns, residing at the West end of the town, put a period to his existence by blowing out his brains with a pistol. lie had been ion in the morning enjoy hi; mail aide, and J.:4.mm' with more than common cheerfulness. l I ❑ eoter:ng the house, however, be abruptly enyuired whether to:eign letter had arrived P and being answered in the negative he intnictliately retired to his study.

It turned out, however, that the patterm, upon being given to the prisoner, were pawned by him.
