--A private Letter frarreParis, Angust 19, says:—" News frets Spain is now looked for with much anxiety and con cern at Paris, tut chiefly through the medium of the Eng iiitireak, as no reliance k ever placed in what is con hined in the French Papers. The Prem.)) are heartily sick of the war, and would be happy to get out of it with a good gra m Thr feelings of aversion are becoming now very ow e, and very generally, as far as the people dare venture „ ar ra, very unpopular indeed. The weather, in Peri., b e coniing more fixed and settled than it has hitherto l ee n; but it is supposed that the continued rainy weather fee this considerable time past, throughout all France will , ) cl ve most materially affected the vineyards, and render wine scarce and dear. The thermometer of Fahrenheit b row occasionally as high as 85 degrees in the shade at Paris. Pasts. A co. 19.—At length it is known where the agents Cleret and Alussard have taken refuge; they are in England. Cleret left Paris in the disguise of a 'Valet de Chamhre to a tender beatity,whose postillion hail orders to drive full speed. The noble English belle, by the aid of her livery, easily eluded the vigilance of the police of Ca- Isis, and the illustrious bankrupt arrived at London without experiencing any impediment. Presuming upon the im punity which the British laws afford to him, he audaci oesly frequents the parks and theatres; and, on the day of the closing of the King's Theatre (Opera), he was con spicamis in the pit, by the richness of his attire and fash ionable airs. Mussard has reached Southampton iocog aito.—(The moils.) The following account of the manner in which the inter vention of England is said to have been invited in the settlement of affairs between France and Spain, appeared in a contemporary last night, who gave it "as it had come into his hands, but without vouching for its entire colt' reetness." " When the Tribune sailed through the blockading squa dron into Catlis,it east anchor under the bows of the French Admiral's ship, ant immediately tired a salute to the Spat nish batteries, which they returned with cheers. Admiral Hamelin, considering this as an insult to the French flag, wade a formal complaint •to hid Government, who again complained to ours. In transmitting this complaint, Vis count Chateaubriartil is said to have remarked, that such • violation of the blockade could only be permitted for pur poses of mediation. On ;his hint our Ministers were about to speak, when, at the veryccioinent, despatches arrived from Sir William A'Court, containing a solicitation from the Cortes at Cadiz fur our friendly offices. The mediation of the British Government being thes on the one hand directly solicited, and on the other plainly enough invited, matters fell easily enough into their present auspicious train." A subscription is opened at Hereford - in behalf of the Spaniards, and 271. are already subscribed. Extract of a Letter from a Gentleman at Sheffield, who farms his own laud, August 19, 1823:—The bay harvest here has ben very tedious and expensive, owing to the rain ; but 1 think that in general it has been tolerably well got Op: the crops are but light from the old swards, but the sew l..ys are very gond; 1 compute that our average, from 36 acres, is about ton per acre. The weather is yet very rainy, and will throw the harvest very late. It is judged that there is considergbly above an average crop on the ground, both of Wheat and Spring Corn; so that the grower who is calculating on better prices will be rlistlp pointed. Wheat in our market to-day has with difficulty been sold for 22.5. fitl. per load (3 bushels) weighing 13 'stone 12Ibs. The best Gay is 41. 133. person; Straw, 50s. per ton; so that the grower here is not obtaining the price in your markers." SIZRA t tbsonc.—lt is yrith regret we announce the death of Edward Fitzgerald, Esq. Chief Justice of Sierra Leone, of the malignant fever, which has far some time raged in that co lony. Ile was seized with this dreadful malady on the even ing of the 30th of May last, and fell • victim to its ravages on the rooming of the 3d of June. •Mr. Fitzgerald was a Gentle man of rummers the moslainiable and unassuming, of virues Ike most pure and unostentatious, and was possessed of talents, both literary and legal, of no ordinary description. Univer sully respected mod esteemed, It may with truth be said.of that he was " By all who knew his worth By all who knew his heart beloved." Ilia appointments at Sierra I.core were Chief Justice and Judge of the Vice-Admiralty Court of the Colony, and Com missioner of Arbitration on the part of his Majesty in the mix d Case's established under the Treaties with Foreign Powers, for the prevention of the Stave Trade.---(Merning Pest.) A BISHOP-11411.QUE96.-020 of our Bishops is actually become a Marquess, and of course must in future he address. ad as not only right reverend, but most noble. What would St. Paul and his master say to these things? This union of spiritual pomp with secular dignity ! The present instance is, we believe, without a precrdent. We have had two prelates succeeding to earldoms, Harhorough and Bristol, but none before this case, to a Marquisate. Plain folks must surely be rather puzzled how to address his Lordship, whether by his spiritual or temporal denomina tion, or both. The parsons, we suppose, must designate him as right reverend, and the as most oak. Let us not talk of the pomp sod vanities of the Pope and his Cardinals, while we have such striking iestances of worldly honours amongst our own ecclesiastics. Every Bishop sits in the House of Peers as a Baron, and on solemn occasions, as the trial of a Peer, or at a Ceronation, actually wears the Ba ronial &eta. The Lord Bishop of Lichfield and Coventry, the. ost Noble Marquess Cot nwallis, will now, as a tem poral Peer of superior order, ake precedence in the house, of all his right reverend brethren ; ('he Archbishops ex cepted,) and, to maintain his rank, must, in consistency, desert the sacred bench, sod place himself amongst the temporal Peers. Such are the incongruities r e sulting frets this heterogeneous mixture of secular and spiritual mattere. SLAYS TRADIL-111 the last Treaty or the friendly Arabs the Persian Gulf are the following clauses:— " In the name ofGon the merciful, the compassionate. . . " Praise be to Goo, who bath ordained peace to be a blessing to his creatures. There ts a lasting peace between the British Government and the Arab tribes, who are par ties to this contract. " Art. I.—There shall he a cessation of plunder and pi ney by land and sea on the part of the Arabs, who are parties to this contract, for ever, &c. " Art. 2.—The carrying off slaves, men, women, and children, from the coast of Africa, or elsewhere, and the transporting them in vessels is plunder and piracy; and the friendly Arabs shall do nothing of this nature." SLavear.—The following extraordinary story has been sent us for insertion, on authority apparently respectable:— William Hughes, a coloured man, a native of Antigua, sailed from that island about 5 or 6 years ago in search of a situation as writing clerk in one of the neighbouring islands, in a small sloop called the Lelah, belonging to one Ricbard Burke, of Antigua. A few months after the de parture of ibis vessel it was rumoured that she was lost sorneivere off St. Vincent's, and the particulars of the pretended wreck of the sloop and loss of the passengers wer- inserted in a journal of that island. It has, however, recently come to light that no wreck of the Lelala ever took place; that the captain of that vessel took her to Ponce, a small town in Porto Rico, where he disposed of the ves sel, and sold the coloured passengers who were on board of Der into slavery, they not having any manundision or proof of their freedom with them. In aggravation of this crime on the part of the captain, it ought to be stated that Hughes - Wu known to him to be what is called in the West Indies !free born man, and not accustomed to the sort of slavery ieto which be scild him. There were sold into slavery With Hughes two-coloured young ladies and their mother. Tits of Hughes having learnt the above particulars, has r= l 7l; sailed from Antigua for Porto Kico, with a letter, we are informed, from the Governor at Antigua, which is to be hoped, will procure his being delivered from bsidavt. —(Mornieg paper.)

Wttsnentt, Avouer 22.—The utmost activity prevails at the Ca►tle in order to complete the preparations for his Ma. jeetv's reception, by the Ipt of September, immediately after which, it is his Majesty's intention to move from the Royal Lodge to the i:astle. where his Majesty will remain till the beginning of November, and then go to Brighton for the winter. The lodging-house and inn-keepers at Margate, corn plain grievously, this season, of a scarcity of London visitors. Two reasons may be assigned for this;—first, that those who used to visit that place for the sake of the voyage, now obtain, from the new practice of the steam hosts taking trips to the Nore and back in the course of a day, all the benefits of a marine excursion on much more moderate terms than by going to Alargate ; and secondly, that the Londoners have, all this Autuinn,lnd less inclination for rosining abroad, in consequence of finding • watering place at home. A paper of this morning, advises people living at Brighton to deal with London tradesmen for their bread, meat, gro cery, coals, and, in short, every thing, as the dealers at that watering-place charge so very high. The coaches and vans would profit more 'by such an arrangement than the buyers. CAMBRIDGE, Friday, Ant .22.—The new quadrangle at Trinity College is to be called The King's Court, by his Majesty's gracious permission.—(Cambridge Chron.) We understand the Itev. Edward Irving, the celebrated preacher at the Caledonian Charl, Hatton Garden, is on a visit to Thomas Brightwell, Esq. of this city.—(Noriviels Mercury.) REMARKABLZ CONTUSIACY,-.4 most notorious bleach green robber was convicted at the lad Lifford Assizes,- in Ireland, and sentenced by the Judge to seven years transportation; when a conversation between his Lordship and the prisoner, in newly the fo•lowing terms, took place:— Prisoner—Thank your Lordship; bnt that sentence, I know, proceeds rather from the wish of the Gentlemen of the county, than from the evidence brought against me. "Judge—You are very midi mistaken. I had deter. mined in my own mind the quantity of punishment your offence merited, before I knew any thing respecting your general character. I conceive, however, that the country and yciuraelf will be best served, by your for ner sentence being commuted. The sentence of the Court, therefore, now is—that you be transported beyond the seas " For Life." _ . . " Prisoner-.-You've done your worst, my Lord; but I will be putting in my tune in llo'any Bay, when you will be putting in your time in hell, I hope. the prisoner ut tered this malediction %Otte an air of the most hardened effrontery, and then retired within the dock.—(Belfast Commercial Chron.) The following very ridiculous article appeared in a Dublin Paper s and is now travelling. through our Public Journals:— " 'the number of inhabitants in Ireland is estimated at 6,846.949, and the number of Irish acres at 6,809,759 ; so that there is more than one individual to an acre —ln En gland, the number of English acres is 32,342,000, and the inhabitants 11.486.700, or nearly three English acres (shout two and a quarter Irish) to an individual. But the difference between the relative size of the tenancies is far greater. In a barony of about thirty square miles in Ire land, nearly one half of the farms are less than five acres, and only one in thirty is above fifty acres." Now, if the author of the above erroneous calculation, had consulted Beaufort, or any other late writer on Irish topography, be would have found that Ireland contains above 18,750 square miles, or several thousand acres above twelve millions of Irish acres; which are equal to 30,370 English miles, or 19,436,000 English acres. There are, therefore, two acres, and nearly three roods to each indivi dual in Ireland. Now, assuming lois premises witlt respect to England to he correct, there are in that country two acres, three roods, and ten perches, to each individual, so that its population is nearly as dense as that of Ireland. L'Atriveda Spanish privateer, which has 'been in our harbour several week!, is now completely refitted in all the graces of " ship shape' and Bristol fashion," and on the point of sailing for whatever chances the fortune of war may bestow. Her last cruise, we are told 4 prcfduced no less than 22 prizes in 21 days. Of course, her crew's disbursement of prize money has net ban scanty. We apprehended some of the abuses of so much excitement under the national predilection for knives instead of fisty cuffs, and are rather surprised that so little has occurred, On Sunday evening last, however, two of the privateer's crew being engaged on the shore of Cumberland basin, in a wordy alteration, one of the crew of the Wolf, King's cotter (also stationed here), incautiously " put in his oar," a. d instantaneously received from one of the Spaniards two back-handed stabs in the bosom ; but which, warded off by the natural shield, are neither of then] likely to prove fatal. A tedious investigation by the maeis trates having failed in proving his identity, one of the suspected foreigners who had been taken into custody, was on Monday evening dischargel.• A scene of an opposite description was displayed on board the privateer early yesterday morning. Two of her boys having pilfered some brandy and pepper from the stores, they were tied to each other, each by the left arm, and a doubled cord being put in their other hand, they were directed to inflict a mutual ity of stripes, which they did, roaring lustily all the while, for about ten minutes, until the one got the other off his legs, and proved his superior skill in inflicting this, to us, novel species of co-judgment, to the no small mow/ma of their cigar-exhausting shipmates.—(Briatol Observer, Atte list 20.)

BOXING. MATCH BETWEEN JOIINION, THE SLACK, ASP NIXON, TUB NOT ?INGHA EVTCIIVR. This battle for 100 so,ereigna, was fought on Marsh Field Common, a abort distance from Aflesbary, on Tborsday.

'The seconds were. Wheeler, of Birmingham, for the Black, Lod Cart, for the Butcher. _ A slaughtering battle of nine rounds was foug.ht. After shaking hands, Johnson made instant play at the ih ad, and drew'claret from the Meiling bottle. The Butcher shook Ills nob, but never left the scratch. Johnson mansaurred, aid adversary, a powerful young man, was ready. The liisck missed his hit, and a sanguinary rally followed, at the close of which the Black was thrown. 2. Nixon fought first with the right hand. and gave his adver sary a tie up abo ,t the kidney which gave hint a cough. An exchange of blows for two minutes followed. and the claret flew merrily. The black threw his man, and as some said, by laying hold below the waist. but t!e Umpire sung out " fair. " 3. A round of observaii.m upon the piping system.

CROPS AND HARVEST. By a gentleman who returned this week from Prance, ate learn that the weather has been at least as unfavourable there as here, for ripening the crops. In passing from Southampton to London, he says, he bounk more corn cut down, than lie saw in all his progteas from Paris to Dieppe. The harvest commenced very generally in the middle and western parts of Norfolk at the end of last or the be ginning of the present week ; which has been variable in weather. The crops are certainly, as far as we can learn, fully an average in hulk, though the quality may be dootot ed, from the want of the customary• solar heat. Slionld fine weather set in, the corn will fall ripe altogether, in stead of in the usual succession, and the harvest will be pressed with a vigour and rapidity proportioned to the lateness at which it commences.—(. Norwich Mercury.) We are bappy to say, that a great quantity of corn is cut and cutting in this county. The wheat oromims a full average crop, and the barley is allowed to hr as fiae if not finer, than ever known in the memory of man. The weather has been very changeable, and much rain has fallen; hit should we now have fine weather the harvest will be rich and abundant.—(Notiingficrin Review.) The little corn down will preclude the pleasures of the sports • man lu the early part of September. The season has eerta:oly been but an unpropitious one for the breed of partridges, but at present no judgment can be formed of the coveys, breense they as yet shew themselves but little out of the standing wheats and barleys. The natural presumption is, that th-y cannot ue so numerous or so large as last 3, ear.—(Vorcrich Mercury.) The Wheat h t has commenced in this neighbourhood.— The crops are excellent, but the weather is not so favours b as we could wish.—( Weymouth Gaselle.) The harvest has also commenced in the neighboorhoe4 of Sberborne. The crops arc abundant, with the exception of Beans, which are i ijered by insects.—fluid.) EAST ECTFORD, ACGUST 21.--The harvest here has partially commenced, and the crops are abundant ; hut the I weather has not been favourable for some tione,-we have hal rain almost every day since our last. Mond ty morning was extremely fine, but we had rain in the evening, and liitewise on Tuesday morning, but the afternoon was very fine, the thermometer out doors stood at 760 ; Weunesday morning was very fine, bnt rain again in the evening; 'fliars,lay morning, fine; depth of rain fallen since last Wednesday 0-62 inches. Lincobm, Auo. 21.—The farmers about this place have just began to cot wheat, in a few days it will be general upon the cliff. The crop is about an average one. Fine e weather is much wanted. The ground is completely soak• with wet. There have not been above two or three (fa entirely without rain for the last month. B.rl►y and .li c in:rletn i ahees:. are quite ripe, on the warm sandy soils; and in abut' s 3. week will be nearly all cut. A correspondent in Cumberland writs as follows: _t hat weather has become alarming; thousands and tens of tSou sands of acres of hay are down throughout the country, • greater part of it is nearly spoiled. The state of the ‘ yre irt::,;its ce: has been as remarkably ungenial in the wheat, that • it rally thought there will not be more than two-thirds of . 1 - , crop , although many fields looks very fine as to the burden , have beers( n exarninati.m the ear is little more than half filled looks well upon strong lands.
