LONDON, SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER S. Another week has elapsed, and yet no definitive arrangement of the Cabinet has been promulgated —surmise has of course been busy, and lists ac cording with the wishes of the framers of them have been confidently handed about every political circle, exactly as though no oath of secrecy were taken by the Members of the Privy Council, and as though each Member made their deliberations a common topic of tea.table gossip—if by any means whatever the present patched up administration, can patch up their remnant so as to remain in, so great is their objection to going ou that they will do it, but such a compact will never either deserve or -enjoy the confidence of the people. T:ie Paris papers of Wednesday arrived on Friday night. The Conslitulionnel gives the following speculations, in the form of a letter from Frankfort, without date:— •• Much is said here respecting the approaching Congress, INA attempts are made to calculate the probable results.—The system of the Austrian Cabinet is known, and it is naturally ex veled that the influence of ultra principles will still prevail in the diplomatic meetings at Vienna and Verona. It is to be presumed that eforts will be redoubled ; that the present system will be maintained at all hazards ; and that the war in Europe, cad particularly in the East, will be avoided. To strengthen every thing old, and to weaken every thing new, is in a few words the ministerial policy, which does animate, and will ani •ats the . diploniatiats to whom the greatest influence in Europe is attributed. '• The affairs of Spain and Portugal cannot fail to embarrass in some measure such views. lied the events of the 7th of Jaly at Madrid taken a different tarn, less difficulty would have Imes experienced. On this subject opinions are said to be di vided. Some would have the mine course adopted towards Spain ■s was followed two years ago with respect to Naples sad Piedmont; but others are not inclined to have recourse to ouch measures, which it is generally thought would experience much opposition from Eagland. It is added that several mem ►ers of the Cabinet of St. James's are of opinion that none ex. Sept measures purely diplomatic ought to be resorted to with respect to the Peninsula. ~ With respect to Turkey, a Minister of great influence has milled it a great marsh inhabited by savages : this is the ex pression %shish he employed in a letter to one of bin confidants ma the banks of the Rhine. The same Minister admits that it is much to be desired that European civilisation should obtain this conquest, but that Russia is already so great and an close to the scene of action. How is it possible, without danger, to tarnish inch temptation, when it is known that the policy ofthe Cabinet of St. Petersburgli has constantly been directed to this object long before the Emperor Alexander ascended the throne? •' It is, therefore, probable that the Greeks will be uhandoned to their own moans—at least ostensibly. If they succeed, there will always be an opportunity for introducing Greece into she general system of Europe. This course wilt besides, hats the advantage of depriving a great northern Power of the in. lame which she possesses in Germany, and which she will inevitably lose, when it shall be seen that she abandons the reli pious cause of the Greeks, and leaves them to the resources of their own courage. •' The death of the Marquis of L a•donderry does not appear to have occasioned any modifications in the great projects which are to be brought under discussion. It is not wished to have the appearance of giving him so much importance, and it appears to he determined-- " I.—To declare firmly and openly against revolutions of every 1643. 2.—To intrust the guarantee of Italy and Germany to Austria. THE NATIONAL REGISTER " 3.--To agree to a secret article relative to Spain. " 4.—To renew the guarantee giveo to the other states of Europe. " s.—To declare a neutrality, or at hut ostensibly, with respect to the affairs of Turkey. " 6.—To invite the different Powers to abstain from open war with Spain. " 7.—To agree to repressive and general m with re peel to the press. . Such are the ideas which generally circulate in Germany relative to the new Cong : but reflecting men entertain some apprehensions of the result. They are aware that there are in events and things an influence and a force which may defeat all the resources of diplomacy, and all the efforts of power." Letters from the frontiers of Spain confirm the news of the complete defeat of the Trappist. The constitutional troops have also obtained distinguished success in Navarre. Quesada, after losing a part of his forces, has been compelled to retreat to the valley of Roncal. Col. Tabuenca has beaten the band of Salaveri, and made prisoner a Lieut.-Colonel Garcec, who lately addressed a gasconading report to Quesada.— The constitutional troops arc arriving in great force from a'.l parts of Spain, and every thing indicates the speedy suppression of the insurrection. A letter from Moldavia states that the Janissaries again set fire to Jassy an the 11th and 12th August. Two thousand houses were destroyed, and the con flagration had not terminated when the post left Jassy. Advices from Mexico to the end of June, recei►ed by way of the United States, indicate that the new Empert.r Iturbide is likely to experience much diffi culty in maintaining his sovereignty.—His growing unpopularity is ascribed to the re-establishment of the Inquisition, and his refusal to permit the Euro pean Spaniards to return to their native country, or at least to carry their wealth with them. A con voy fur Vera Crux, with 900,000 dollars in charge, was stopped by order of the Emperor, and the money appropriated to the expences of his government.— Much disaffection had also been manifested among the Creoles, many of whom had emigrated. The people of New Spain are divided into tbur political Farties Imperialists, Crviles, Republicans, and Constitutionalists—fit elements, certainly, of civil discord. Iturbile is represented to have aliewn a very fa vourable disposition towards the citizens of the United States: as a proof of which it is stated, that he had repealed, as respects them, the Jaw prohibiting the exportation of specie. Little or no business was doing at Vera Cruz, and the markets are said to be overstocked with foreign goods. Papers from New York to the 16th ult. inclusive arrived on Friday. Same cases of fever were dis covered early in the month in that city, and the la bours of the Board of Health were in consequence called into action, from whom reports were daily made for the public information. The disorder is ascertained to be the yellow or malignant fever: but by curly attention, and very judicious precautions, it has been confined to the quarter in which it first appeared—that of Rector-street and its vicinity.— The rest of the city, up to the latest informs, ion from New York, continued healthy. In the other cities of the United States there existed no ground for a similar alarm. A remarkable instance of mor tality had occurred on board the United States Ma cedonian frigate, just returned to Norfolk (Virginia) from a cruise to the southward, that vessel having lost on the voyage no less than 76 of her crew, and and reported 52 inure on the sick list, when coming Ito an anchor in Hampton roads. Cautions were im mediately adopted for preventing all communication with the town, and a salubrious spot, called Craney Island, was appropriated to the reception of the hick. The rumours current on Friday of great mortality from yellow fever having otcurred at New York, have probably originated in the state of the Mace donian frigate. These papers contain various articles of information from Mexico, Havannah, and Snub America, which we have placed under instinct heads. The following is an extract of a letter from Vir- I ginia, dated August 12:—" Captain Arzeno, from, ' st. Domingo, states, th a t a d a y or two b e f ore be d sailed General Simons informed hint lie would give all free t . groes, from every part of the world, who would emigrate to the island, as much land as they would cultivate. Accounts from Cape Haytien states that President Buyer has given orders tor the re building of St. Mark's. The utmost tranquillity prevails there. The discontents in the Spanish part of the island have been quelled, and the President appears to be very desirous of entering into a com mercial treaty with the United States." r - ._~. 295 Lea, Plant, his son-in-law, and four or five other witnesses, in the case of the King v. the Hon. P. Jocelyn, Bishop of Clogher, and Moverley, the sol dier, who had received subp(rnas to attend the Ohl Bailey Sessions, were on Wednesday examined at the office of Mr. Maule, solicitor to the Treasury. Mr. Maule, during the examination, intimated that it would be necessary to send all the witnesses to _ _ Ireland, after the trial was over at the Old Bailey, which trial can be nothing more than a nominal one ; the parties having fled, and not answering their call, they will furteit their recognirances, as will their sureties, which will be a point for the revenue-7001. the amount of the four bail for th• Hilltop and s Wier; the two but 2501. each, al the latter 1001. each. ODESSA, JULY 24.--Wben infbrmation was re ceived here of the Turkish fleet under the command of the Capital' ruche having sailed from Constanti nople, and that since, in consequence of a third ex pedition having taken place, there scarcely remained a ship of war in the before-mentioned harbour, the captains of several Greek vessels then lying iu our port formed the daring resolution of immediately sailing to Constantinople, and there to set fire to the arsenal. They might, perhaps, have succe.dcd in this rash attempt, from which great consequences would have issued, but our Government prevented. them from carrying it into execution, by not ailow ing them to sail. They have since mostly left their ships, and endeavoured to gain by land their native cuuutry. • A private letter from New York, dated Aug. 8, says--" The business of this city eintinues dull, and some apprehensions are entertain. d of sickness; as yet, however, there is no particular fear on the subject, and the weather is now favourable to health. There have been some failures here, particularly the old-established house of Jones and Clinch." By the Carla, arrived at Baltimore, accounts have been received from Monte Video to June 22. —All was quiet on both sides the La Plata at that period, though a report had reached Monte Video, which was fully believed, that 10,000 Indians were within 15 leagues of Buenos Ayres, but whose els- jest it was suid was no other than to plunder castle. The Government had, however, ordered a force to disperse them. his 6 vertiment of lluenoi Ayres was daily improving and consolidating : and every eflort pursued to prevent the plunder of goods by the curt and lighterme, from which fbreiguers have hitherto suffered much ; and the business is num transacted with more facility. The United States colony at Cape Mesuredo pears to be going on well. The schooner Calypso arrived at Baltimore early in last month, having ua board the agents of the Columbian Society. They report the people to be contented and happy, and the country healthy and fertile. The 4/Its:s . ate said to be on fliendly terms with the colonist& it few of them, who were disposed to be unruly and disstrected,. had retired to the British settlements. A number of petitions having been presented to his Majesty while in Edinburgh, from persons con victed of offences against the revenue laws, the King has given orders to the Board of Excise to take measures, under the direction of the Lords of t h e Treasury, fur granting relief to such of them as rosy be considered proper objects of the royal clemency. Alterations, it seems, are making at Coy eat- s tir - den theatre, as well as at Drury-laue, but not upo., so large a scale as the latter. Among the alteratioi.s at the former theatre is the removal of what is styled the basket, the boxes behiud the dress• busks i.i front. DEAL, Serr. I.—The brig Alph a , Cipt. Same, l Brooks, has arrived in the Downs from the Haven nab, from Hamburgh, and reports' that on the t Bth of May last, near the Salt Keys, fell in with three piratical schtxmers, anti was plundered of nearly every moveable article attended with the most crud treatment. Captain Brooks and his mate wero re- peatcdly hung up to the g.ft-end by the neck, and the former w.is fur some time left for dead ; thrte of the crew were detained us prisoners by the pi rates; atter taking the whole of the apparel, elan to the last article, and upwards of 300 dollars, the Alpha was allowed to proceed. The master received several wounds from a cutlass, and at the time en tirely gave himself up, never expecting to survive the horrible treatment he received. We state with great pleasure, that Lord Crewe bus lately reduced, not his tenants, but their rental, in many instances 50 per cent., and has can:died i lupg leases, and granted others pr o p ort i onate to t h e resent prices of produce. We could wish to r.,e this truly noble example generally followed :.it iS genuine reform. QUEBEC, Atm s.—With regret we learn, that• the typhus, of the worst type, bus been introduced into the parish of St. Gervais, by some settlers ar rived this season. A medical gentleman front that part of the country reports that he has knowledge ‘.f thirteen cases; and that previous to his departu:,•, the daughter of a major of militia died of that eLin.
