He is supposed to be the bearer of diplomatic news of great importance.

YELLOW FEVER.—We are sorry to learn, that the yellow fever has made it► appearance again in I'Lila• delpbia : letters received this morning state, that there were three deaths there of that disease yesterday morn. in.:, and vet the Board of Health and the newspapers of that city are as silent on the subject as the grAve. Extract of a letter front Philadelphia, three o'clock yesterday afternoon :---Threc new cases of fever this forenoon, 2 d.. 4 ..d buried siuce 11 o'clock, and the other dangerous. 11.st.tvs•, Itt.—Tbe sloop Ilex, Lemantl, arrived at Quebec, on the 31th ult. scn works from tirenock, with 313 valuable settlers, many of them people of property ; also the brig Hart front Londonderry, with 171 settlers.

S JULY I.—There is at present a pros pect of the Cod Fishery being very successful this season, the boats from this harbour came in loaded every night for more than a week past with very fine fish ; and accounts from the southward and westward are evally favourible. The Commons meet to day ; and, as we should not think of anticipating proceedings, which will, in a few hours, he under the. eves of our readers, we should be at a loss for s.woething to say, bad not that Pro vidence, i‘hieli is ever kind to us all, sent us a sub j• ct in the person of " The Rev. J. W. CUMNINOII.III, of Harrow-on-the-IEII. This (lentleman has, it would wens, thought proper to address a public letter to Mr. Wurrearso, the respectable Member fur Middlesex, upon his conduct, with reference to the Paddington Meeting. Our readers will peruse the Letter, which has, by the bye, more of political ranconr than we could wish to see in the work of any maim of education, ani especially of a Clergyman ; and our readers will also IN ruse the short, temperate, lied west gentlemanly an%tter of Mr. 11 . 1tri Dugan. So often, and so strongly have Clergymen been in treated, by the respectable part of their docks, not to in terfere with politics, because such an interference inva fably strips them of their 1 ttttt ourable and sacred cha r icter ; and so awn, with pain we say it, have the gene rality of the Clergy di.regarded that intreaty, that we cannot affect surprise at the appearance of a Clergyman, as an actor on the political stage ; a situation the last of all others, in n hich he should ever be seen. Th• Ker. Mr. J. W. CeuNtNun.sm, of Harrow-on-the-Hill, ILA evidently, himself, a little misgiving on this sub ject ; and, as from that misgiving, we collect the letter in question to be his first political essay, we, in charity, hope it will be Isis last. To get over the difficulty, he lobours to prs.ce that tlse business of the Wrest is not political. This is flimsy enough; bet an objection to his interference at all, occurs to u on a perusal of his first sentence. He writes principally in the character pf a Minister of a parieb " fpordcrior," upon that of 1111121111.1 O or STOCKS THI tie Steck let Cot. Feet. COOL per COIL Av os. wri.. TY 1 , 4 Are. I ent. AIM.

We shall just examine the first of these mischiefs. and leave the rest to follow the fate of their worthy leader. It is stated thus,--•• In the first place you are encou raging others to inettli muter Sovereign as a sabormer !t prrjoered witneaves."' hie of the misfortunes attending this gentleman's most unfortunate letter ir, that although he set. , ffitt as an open eulogist of the Ministers, he has actually, in the indis creet fervor of his service, given them the palpable lie di rect. This from a tleutleman, a Scholar, and a Clergy man, to his friends too, was never to be expected. We have been told by Ministers, over and over agate, that the RINI; has nothing whatever to do with the inquiry ; that it is a proceeding of state ; that the KING has no private feelings whatever ; and, in short, that his sole desire is, what it ought to be, that justice should be fairly administered. This was told us in Parlia ment by the Ministers, by the men who are believed, at least by Mr. Cesitenti tst ; and yet he has in thin, his first proposition, is fiat contradiction to those Mi nisters, behas assumed that the KING has not only feel ing and wishes upon the subject, but that he is actually the proaectitur, fur Mt. Cc xvtxcn tw treats his Majesty as the producer of the wittves•es. We s ate this, without the fear of contradiction, to be ties fair and reasonable meaning of Mr et• NN I Ntill 04'S proposition. Ile surely must has,' fallen into some little mistake, or probably, u lieu he composed this political elusion, he was not so caution: as he should have been, and probably, (for one probability leads to another) he 113 S let out the secret : and if he has done this, he may depend upon it be never a ill get promoted ; fur secresy is an essential and indispens able quality in an aspiring clergyman. We can not find room to go through the Reverend lien- Roman's five other mischiefs ; but, as we have examined the first, he caunut say we have treated him unfairly ; tor Mr. C. k very well that am Advocate generally puts his at argument in the front. We shall, therefore, disrin s this Reverend Champion of the Ministry, first with a short prophecy,! atsd next, with a short piece of advice. Imprimis, we can assure Mr. Cult stismit tm that the Ministers have! already called oat more than one', " liras en defend its from oar Friends !" and that they will repeat this ex- • elamation at the sight of his letter. Prefertneat.l therefore, he will get none. In the neit plate sle" have to observe that, in the last sentence of his letter, lie tells as, most figuratively, tisi duties of the Clergy. It is, to be sure, 'odd eneugli, that lie should exhaust his polities before he thinks °lbis thstiri. it appears he knows then) well. Let him now put them in practice I as fast as possible ; and seek honourable advancement, not by meddling with polities, attarking a 1,111111.111, and I lan ling men whose measures base been couttramed by the almost umaiiiiions voice of a respectable public ; but let him teach his ptrishioners their duties, and enforce their performance by his our' example. We hate no doubt that his good flock at Ilsorow-iia-the- Hill must regret exceedingly that so much of his sa• livable time, for orlgicfs he is paid ill them, has been so uselessly, and, as they will think, so unworthily employel. Since our last there has been another arrival from Oporto, with Intelligence down to the 3d instant. Still. however, stie have no news from Lisbon, and find nu communication between that city and Oporto. The French papers too are totally destitute of infor mation respecting that conntry, and little doubt re mains of the fal-ehood of the tales they lately puts liaised of the massacre and plunder of the British at Lisbon. From the accounts on which we can most safely rely, the constitutional troops were on their march to the capital ; and the nest arrival can hardly fail to announce the ultimate determinations of the old Regime. According to all we can learn, that govern ment continued tranquilly waiting its fate, n bile the people were as peaceably waiting for their successors. This is an extraordinary state of interregnum, and seems to betray on both sides very remarkable irre solution. This state, however, is not new to the Government of Portogal. We remember when the French invaded that kingdom, and were approaching Lisbon, the Prince Regent received their overtures, and for some time hesitated in his determination. Sir STONEY, SMITH, then lying off the Bay with a British squadron sot knowing the turn the ItEIiENT ' S mind might take.., sent a frigate n ith a the of trace to Lisbon, to demand I an intimation of the Royal decision within a limited i time, with directions to the officer who commanded the frigates, in case he rid not receive a favourable mower within the time appointed, to pull down his flag of truce, fire a broad-side against the batteries, and return iinmediately to join his Admiral. As the frigate, however, proceeded up the Tagus. 'the Captain, to his great surprise, met the Patera. REGENT and his Court, who had hastily come to the resolution of not trusting themselves within the. grasp of the French, proceedingin indescribeable confusion down the river, to solicit the protection and aid of lilt English Fleet, to convey them to the Brazils. A similar step has been anticipated on the part el the Counsel which sow acts at Lisbon in the 114.74 names; aad as the same kind of hesitation appears to prevail among these at present, we should not be sur prised were the anticipation to be verified. we have bees informed that a motion will he made in the Howe of l'ominoss this evening, for prt• a petition to the King, beseeching his Majesty to pro rogue the Parliament. I( such a step be adopted, owe readers are aware that the Bill of Pains and Penalties will fall to the ground. EPORTI.VG INTELLIGENCE. • Wu"lff ASTER MEETll}o.—(Sete Noce.) Mr. 'a eh. h.

M rs.i Byers, wile of the prosecutor, swore that the note was passed by the Prisoner, in her shop ; that, having some suspicion of the note, she sent out her buy into a neigh bouring shop, to get change, and there the boy was told it was a forged note. Previous to the return of the boy, the husband of witness returned and gave the change to the prisoner, who immediately went out of the shop. On the boy's telling his master, that the note was bad, he ran efiter thee pebsomor, mid caught him about five door's off. The boy was called, and eirroborated the story of his mistress.

Ducar-I. or r.—On Saturday ttight last this 'Theatre I was CroWdeJ to witness the performance of Mr. KRAZi, in the character of Richu,d the Third, for the last, time previous to his departure for America. In this character he first laid the fotindaties of his fame, sad h a d b ee n used t o display the brilliancy of his genius:l but on no occasion did he ever exhibit such successful I exertions as in the last. At the termination of the! Play, the scene that followed on the stage was deeply interesting.

Fasai.titm Orr* Hottsc.—The character of Feline, in the livery irtevi t!I Windsor was sustained on Sa turday night by Mr. BARTLLT fur his benefit.

They wen• nu actors here ;' their silent sympathy in the deprivation of an asso ciate, cut off in the very prime of life, spoke most elo quently their r►tinta.i.tn of his worth ; their regret fur his loss ; their respect for his memory ; and his star visors had the satisfaction of knowing, that though unless forms and erre ttttt nies were dispensed with, his , remains were embalmed with the genuine tears of grateful sensibility. We regret, sincerely regret, that he has left his family (consisting of a wife, a son, and two dantOtters) totally without provision, though we ; have. at the !talkie time, the satisfaction of knowing, that the greatest interest is excited on behalf of his now destitute widow and children. hir.
