This event has oaused the siege of Beaton' to be raised. Impbrtait events, say the Perpignan letters, are ekpected every moment. STOCK EICIIANOIt, 12 o'CLocc—This day being a holiday, the Bank,Stock Exchange ;ad Foreign Market are that; bat a number of persons have assembled on the Royal Exchange, where Consols have been done, from 7. 4 1 to 79L—Spanish Bonds at 361, and New Prussian, 821/. But little business is. however, doing np to this hour. We bear of one express havingarrived from Paris to a merchant in the City, bringing the French Fands, at 89. 15., and Spanish Bonds, at 42. This rise is all at ;dinned to the English papers having reached Faris, which mentioned a negotiation was on the lapis, between France and Spain. We do not bear of any material zews from the Armies. The report of a French Loan coming forward, caused some sensation in the city, particularly among the monied Gentlemen. The public are anxiously waiting for further details from Mina's army. Newirork Papers have arrived to the 24th of April, from which we extract the following : " From r.kNTE Vtime—•-Dacitat.—Tbe city of Monte- Video is declared to be in a state of blockade, and under al interdiction to import all imports and exports by land of every species of merchandise, and fruit are pro hibited. All Goods and Merchandise pissed through the Cu.. tam House of Monte Video, and which may from thence he re-shipped for the ports of Maldonado and Colonia, shall be sent back to their respective Custom-boase, and there to pay the duties of Entry. Exports of Hides and other productions of the country Certified to by —, the privileged ports of Maldonado and Colonia, sh.tll only pay one half of the duties esta. blished by law. Such duties as may be curtailed by the usurped autlio rity of Monte Video, shall be duly demanded from those whom they concern. • As to all Debits contracted by the Usurping Govern ment of Monte Video, or by the Interior Commandant, will not be liquidated by the public revenue of this Stale. Given at 'Head Quarters. SA NS doer, Baron de la Ganguna. Brussels papers have been received this morning by which vie lame the following article from Antwerp, dated May 4 —",A person of this city has received a letter from Lan . aanne, dated May ♦, in which there is the following phrase: —" I fear least I should be obliged to quit the town. The Governments of Austria and Russia have caused an applica tion to be made to the Cantons for the presage of en army through this country: This demand has been unanimously rejected ; but I fear that the neutrality of Switzerland will not be respected, and I shall fly, not to become a Russian or Austriar." • On this article the Journal for Antwerp makes the lowing remerks:—' Notwithstanding the authenticity of this letter, we doubt the accuracy of this statement.— Though the powers of the north have promised effective saccour, the time is happily not arrived when it can be necessary, and all appearances indicate that this fatal necessity will not occur. The assurances of the French Ministry—the attitude of England—the dangers with which Europe would be menaced, in consequence of this intervention, ought to dispel, at least for the present, the fears of so danzerous an extremity. Another circum stance makes no doubt of the accuracy of our correspon dent, viz. that, supposing such a demand to have been mule, it is not at all probable that Switzerland bas had the energy to refuse it. For some time past regard for its preservation has induced that ceantry to make con cessions which it would not have made before the events of the revolution. Mercantile letters from Trieste speak of the Greeks having landed in several places in Macedonia. A British brig has been captured, in sight of Havannajthe day before the U. R. sailed, and it was supposed all hands wwe murdered ; in fact, the piratical Captain informed Cap tain Banks that he would hang every Englishman he fell In *ilk, in retaliation for the pirates hung by them at Jamales.

He says, " that the further the French peoetratalnto Spain, the more certain will be their de struction, He concludes with a prediction that not one of them wi 11 escape. In the same accounts it is remark ed—" Ballasteros evidently appears to act upon the plan of cutting the corps of General Molitor into two parts, sad it mot t be owned that this corps is spread out over a censideral,le extent of country, so, that it is likely we shall soon hear something important from that quarter." The . %) towing is an extract of a letter from Havre, dated the 13th instant:—" The French ship La Therese Virginie.. which arrived yesterday from the Havannah, Ins broorbt advices that they were re-lauding there all goods witich had been embarked in French ships, on board of which merchants would not make further ship ments. Two vessels from Havre and Bordeaux (La Ceastastee and La Henriette), had been plundered off St Writing°, by piratical cruisers, which threatened to hose the French vessels, whenever they heard of the of hostilities ketween France and Spain.": an' -ru - , .

DRURY-LANZ THEATRR.-00 Saturday, being Whit sun eve, a Grand Selection of Ancient and Modern Musieb under the same management as daring the last season, was performed at this house. All the principal vocal and Instrumental talent assisted in rendering this a most delightful treat. Early in the evening, the Dress Circle was crowded with beauty and fashion, and all the other parte of the House were equally well filled. The Selections were principally from the " Messiah," "Moses in Egypt," and " Cyrus In Babylon," with light airs of celebrated Composers introduced between the performances to relieve the ear from the heaviness of the sacred musk. Amongst the instrumental perform ers, we must particularly mention Mr. NORTON, who played a Concerto on the trumpet in a manner seldom equalled; indeed, the superior style in which this :en. tleman performed, could be clearly perceived throne bout the evening, and he was no small acquisition to the or- I cbestn. We observed no other novelty, the rest of the I performers and performances being the same as we no- 1 deed during the hot season. , The Hastings Barrack ground, which, we blieve was purchased by Government fur thirteen hundred and five pounds, sold the other day, in sit lots, by Mr. I Woodhams, for three thousand guineas. Mr. Mark Breeds, Mr. Gin, and a Gentleman from London were the purchasers.—(Sown Advertiser.) OLD BAILEY.—(Tuts Moasms.) Upwards of forty prisoners wore this morning brongh t up, and no bills having been found against them, they were discharged by proclamation.

Thomas Boscey was convicted of stealing two thou sand nails, the property of Messrs. Staples and Co. of Broad Street, Bloomsbury. lane prisoner put in a written defence, in which he stated, that be had been in the employ of his prosecutors near thirty years, and, that in consequence of his having about three months since broken bis ribs, he was induced for the first time in his life to commit an offence to which the great distress of his condition had driven bins. He expressed his sincere contrition for the offence, and promised, should the Court think him entitled to their merciful consideration. that he woul.l never again be guilty of a dishonest act, lie was then called up for judgment, and sentenced to be confined for one week in Newgate.

Late MILES. _ • ^ • EXECUTION. •••• This morning, "leo.liott, a man df colour, (a Cassia) who was last Sessions convicted of , a highway robbery, nnderwent the awful sentence of the law in front of the Debtor sdoor at Newt( it,. A case of a more atrocious nature than th 4t for which Elliott forfeited his life,, it bee eel loin Ikea our painful duty to lay before our readers. The victim ef•his attack,' was an aged labouring gardener residing at Hammit'i smith, to whom some gentleman in London aßorred small pension, which was paid. him monthly. The poor old man had walked up to town for the purpose of re ceiving it. On his return towards home in the evening, finding himself much fatigued, he stopped at a publia house in Kensington to indulge himself with half a pint of porter, and took his teat at a table adjOining to the one at which Elliott and his' companions were re galing themselves. They entered leo conversation with Itint, observing that they supposed be had beep to Che m& to receive his pension, and enquired nhat regiment be bad served in. The old man replied that be had ne ver been in the army, but had certainly been to receive a small pension, which the kindness of an individual allowed him. They then invited him to drink, which he at first declined todo,. but after some little time was prevailed on to join them. After partaking of two or three pots of porter, the old man mentioned the name .of an old me qoaintance, whom he said he had not seen for a consider able time, and who, he had been informed, hr.d some where in that neighbourhood, and enquired whether they knew such a person. Elliott professed to know him very well, and said be would strew him where he lived, when they had finished their herr. About nine o'clock they kft the public-house fur that purpose. ' After proceeding some distance on the Hammersmith Road, and just as they reached the end of the dead wall, in front of Hol laud House, two of the patty s t e pp e d behind, atuthrenght the old man to the ground by a tremendous blow on the bead. They then kicked him in the face and body in tbe most cruel manner, and broke three of his ribs. In this situation Elliott placed his knee on the old man's sto mach, and with his left hand pressed his face to the earth to avoid being seen, while with his right band he rifled the pockets of all the money they contained. They then left him, and escaped np a lane. The poor old tr.ao lay for some time unable to move, till his groans brought some passengers to the spot, who assisted him home.— From the description given of his person to an active of ficer of Kensington, Elliott was shortly afterwards apprehended at a public house in that neighbourhood.— h rom the time of his conviction,he had entertained hot little hope that mercy would be extended to him on earth, and we are glad to learn that lie employed tl.e short interval allotted to him, in preparing himself for eternity. He arose this morning at three o'clock, and joined very fervently in prayer, with the Rev. Dr. Cotton and Mr. Baker ; but strongly protested, that he was not the person who committed the violence on his prosecutor. — He also mentioned the name of one of his companions on that occasion, wlio,he said, was as innocent as himself in regard to the injury the prosecutorhad sustained,and hoped in case of his apprehension, that his dying declaration would save hint from an ignominious death. When brought into the Press Room, and after having been re lieved of his irons, he replied to a question put to him by Mr. Sheriff Lucas, " that he felt himself perfectly com fortable, & was confident that be had obtained the forgive ness of Bon, and should shortly be in Heaven." He then seized the band of 31r. Baker, and, with tears in his eyes, said—" Alt! Sir, I cannot sufficiently thank you for your kindness. I was unworthy of it. 'Hoe bless you !" His arms were then pinioned, and the monrnful pro cession proceeded towards the Scaffold. He walked with a steady step till he reached the platform, when his tirmuess, for a moment, seemed to fail him. He was assisted up the steps by the of in attendance, and, after a short time spent in prayer, the signal was Riven, the drop fell, and the unfortunate man was launched into eternity. Ffax.—This morpiug. about nine o'clock, a fire broke out in a small manufactory at the back of the Cooourg Theatre. which at first excited considerable apprehension for the f,te of the adjacent buildings but fortunately the premi :es. were detached, and the early arrival of the engines prevent ed any exteosion of the conflagration beyond the place in which it or►ginated. CAUTION TO Maursvgas.—Mr. G. - Copis, of Se'sea, a respectable yeoman is Selsea Bland, who makes his own malt, was fined in the sum of 13/. through the inad ♦ertence of his servant taking a watering pot into the malt-house.

There was some thunder 'nil liehtning on Thurs4ay week in the cistern part of Ayrshire. One child was killed at Newmilns, and number much hurt. On the mast-head of a small sloop at the Broomielaw lately arrived from Sligo, there is a sparrox's nest with , five eggs.

A short tinie since, as Mr. J Relph, of Cockermouth, was walking near the Park, he heard a screeching cry at a distance, and on repairing to the place. he discover ed a hedge-ling in the act of killing a hare. Mr. R. rescued puss from the jaws of its enemy, and carried it home ; but it did not long survive.

BaieaToN, May 17.—The number of couples asked at our parish church, has, of late, been unusually great. On one occasion, we counted nearly forty. The increase is, no doubt, to be attributed to the repeat of the late It.hr riage Act, together with an apprehension, probably, that s -me future enactments may throw obstacles in the way of a consummation so devoutly wished. But for the disastrous gale of Thursday se'nnight, which not only sank poor l'arden's host, hut carried away some hundreds of net• belonging to the 11e. t. there was a pleasing pro•p;et that our iniustrious and desert ing fishermen would have mule a happy arid a prosperous voyage.—We wish them every seeress.
