OF FRANCE ON SOUTH AMERICA. The Colembiono of the 23d of July, a papeitlymblished in Concealr has the following remarks on the is tbable result to Seath America of the conquest of Spain bp the French tro op. The most recent intelligence then Mind from sada bad led the editor to conclude the cuisine the Con stitadon lost. He then observes—" We condi, that we Mitre all along anticipated this denouement, and now only liil an interest in it, as fraught with important results to aaMisms., France has unequivocally and frequently de. s hied, that the terms of her comperation in aiding Spain w idaue as, are the modification of her canstittition. The Met+ Minister caused this intimation to be conveyed to dm Spaaisb Cabinet, and the Duke of A ngouleme echoed it is his pinclamation to his army. England has unequi vocally declared that she will not suffer it, neither,. .we imagine. will North America. The moment of mating f eed those pledges is probably at hand, and we anticipate o we good than evil from its arrival. There are various usasiderations, howeVet, to restrain France from such a procedure. In the first place, her conquest over Spain is est yet achieved : at the extremity if an enemy's country, aid cet off from her OWIt by strong fortresses and enemies is her rear, with wantof provisions all round, many reverses war yet await the Freocia army, unlearn a strong naval force aECadti protects it : io the second place, the policy of the seasons rather than the pledge she has given, trill make Lemur enemy,as the modification df the Spanish Constitu tion is now the result of conquest, rather than negotiation; thirdly, some little deference will be paid to the positive sad uncalled, for dt duration already made by England to she French Cabinet, on the subject of an interference in Smith American affairs; but, above all, the folly, the insimme of aiding in a bankrupt cause, will restrain tram ;since she must know, from the experience of the Lot thirteen years. that Colombia never will submit to foreign government, while a man remains to defend her. 11.1. impossible to conjecture the result of the present 'kindle') of Span with regard to ns, but it is unquestionable Mate crisis is at hand, which must terminate in a general recognition of the independent States of Sonth America, or M such a colli.inn of interests in Europe, as will give us far more powerful friends than enemies." • The following is an official article published on the same abject by the Cadiz Government, which, it is supposed, 'educed one Government to turn their attention to the gaits of Mexico:— " OFFICIAL ARTICLE. "The Government has just learnt that on the 18th of fast January, the Captain of the French frigate Le Tune landed at rite Castle of St. John de Vilna, :min pitied by two persons, presented to the Gavernor by the Captain in the character of merchants, who were only come re obtain mercantile information. The recommendations of which they were the bearers from their own Govern mat, their having bunted with sixty trunks of baggage, lied their besides having bills on Vera Urns for 10,000 dollats, indorsed by French merchants and by the public Finance filinis'er of the latter nation, led to some suspi cion, and they were watched, in order that the real object I of their mission might bramertained, when it appeared that toe principal of the feigned merchants is a Colonel of En. gineers, named Julien Schmaltz, Knight of St. Louis, Ex trannlinary Envoy of his Most Christian Majesty, beside the Government of Mexico, and the other his Secretary. Achille de la Motto, Knight of the Order of Malta, with an allowance of 20,000 dollars per annum; that the instruc tions given by the Minister of Foreign Relations are con., lied to plans in order to seduce the Mexicans, and to as• tertian whether they are disposed to receive, as their Em peror or King, one of the Bourbons of the reigning House la France; the result of which the said emissaries are in s;racted to cotnmunicam to their Ministry hr two frigates, which are to go at a seasonable time to Vera Cruz ; his Mutt Christian Majesty authorising them to. enter into inch tesatiesof commerce as they may deem fit, its case the first *Oct cannot be attained." Yesterday, according to ancient custom, on the 2Sth of September, the two new Sheriffs, Messrs. Whittaker and . Laurie, were sworn into tare at GniWhen, when they were their State robes of sea tint. and looked extremely well, a great many ladies were present. Mr: Whittaker, as senior Sheriff, received the keys of Newgate, which he handed to the keeper, appointing him as Governor for the time being. To•ntorrow the ceremony of presenting the sew Sheriffs to the Barons of the kxeliequer, will take place. They will embark on board the City State Barges, and will be accompanied by the Xlemlwrs of the respective Companies to which they belong; and then proceed to Westminster, where they will go through the ancient ens• am of coanting the hobnails, &c. On their return, they will hr entertained at dinner at Stationers' Hall, by Mr. Sheriff Whittaker, the senior Sheriff. Tn. LATZ De. Haliami.—Dr. Matthew Baillie was the on of the Key.

After the Antis et the late Dr. Warren, he so rapidly and deservedly ere in the public estimation and confidence, as to be tin. sale to persevere with his lectures, and he continued for between thirty and forty years to bold a pre-eminent place w the foremost rank of his profession. His judgment Vas singularly prompt and clear, and his candour and 4ae►eleoce were equally conspicuous in every situation, boo the palace to the cottage. No man ever held in more otter disdain every mean or unworthy art. No one ever 'offered by his being appealed to in consultation. He was as careful of the just repnration of others as of his own. Ilia iategrity and his frankness were both upheld with a Wyse of nitiformity and consistency that has never been invaded. Nor were his private virtues less worthy of meta. Considerate sincerity, moral worth, true learning, and honest sympathy, were marked wherever the turcire of his very superior talents was required, or Ms society enjoyed. Among other great and distinguished characteristics, he possessed the happy peculiarity of never gtittinga patient. however dangerous or severe his malady, OgiNiut leaving him and the surrounding relatives in a ciao...table state of mud and feeling.

COVENT GARDEN Tusavae.—The Proprietor! of this Theatre on Friday night favoured their friends with a private view of the alterations which it has undergone dur ing the recess. The company was nunacrons ; and we be lieve the general feeling was, that the ornaments of the Theatre combine, in a degree perhaps unparalleled in the theatrical world, purity of taste with splendour of effect. Mr. Elliston has appointed Mr. Brandon, late of Covent Garden theatre, to he the Director and Manager of the pri vate and family boxes at Drury bane Theatre. YORKSHIRE MUSICAL FESTIVAL. The carriag es began to arrive in York on Friday, and continued to follow each other in rapid succession up to Tuesday. Horsesand vehicles of all descriptions had been en gaged at nearly all the towns in that and the neighbouring counties, for several weeks previous. At intervals the prin cipal streets of York were so completely blocked op with carriages, as for some time to prevent their further pro gress. On Tuesday the line of carriages (which consist ed of about 250) waiting the 'conclusion of the Perform. ances, extended from the west door of the Minster, round the north side, through Ogltforth, Ooodranogate, Hay. market, and Collirraate, to the middle of the Pavement. . _ The following area few of the distinguished personages at present in the city and neighbourhood—The A rehbishop of York and Lady A. Vernon, the Duke of Northurnber land, the Marquess and Maichioness of Londonderry. Earl of Scarborough, Earl and Countess of Hareworyl and Ladies Lascelles, Earl Fitzwilliam, Earl and Countess Gower, Earl and Countess Manvers, Earl of Bradford, Lord and Lady Grantham, Lord and Lady Morpetb, Lord Milton, Lord Muneaster, Lord Prudhoe, Lord Downe, Lord Brayhrooke, Lord Howard, of Effingham, Lord Clifton, Lord Hottest's, Lady Galway, Lady Hutch inson' Lady Helen Hall, two Misses and Captain Hall, Lady Mary York s t , Mr. and Lady E. Lowtiftr, Miss Low ther, Mr. and Lady C. Duncombe, Col. and Lady Wortley, Major Wortley, Hon. Mr. Stewart, Hon. Mr. Norton, Hon. Mr. Cathcart, Hon. Gen. Bosville and family, Hon. T. Lister, Admiral Sir C. and Lady Rowley, Sir T. Slingsby, Sir P. Musgrave, Sir M. W. Itidley, Sir Wm. and Lady Ingilby; Miss E. Ingilby, Sir Wm. and Lady Milner, Sir H. and Lady Ibbetson, Sir F. L. Wood, Sir Robert Hawke., Lady Pollock , Lady .Warhurton, Lady Anrecitte, Lady Sayer, the Very Rev. the Dean of Ripon, Mr. Justice and Lady Holroyd, Surrnsr.—At the Cathedral, on Sunday morning, not withstanding the cons'ant rain, a moat unusually crowded congregation, a great proportion of which were elegantly dressed ladies, and numerous strangers attended the preaching of the Diocesan. MOM/AL—Mr. Sadler ascended with bis• Balloon, amidst an immense concourse of people. The particulars of his voyage are inserted in another column. • TUESDAY.—The Music il Perforanances commenced at the Cathedral. The doors opened at ten o'elo..k, when the seats were rapidly occupied ; the West Gallery and the • Middle Aisle were soon so completely filled, that num. hers who bad taken tickets for those places. were under the necessity of going to the Side Aisles. The n•tmher present was about 3,500. Into a detail of the performances, oar limits will not allow us to enter. In the evening the auditory was also immense; and delighted and gratified, as in the morning, beyond expression. On WEDNESDAY morning, the Sacred Oratorio of the Messiah was performed, Ito an enraptnred audience of not less than 5000 persons.—On WEDNESDAY evening the first Festival Ball was held, when the Assembly Rooms were.filled to overflowing, with such an assemblage of rank, fashion, and beauty, as has been seldom (if ever) witnessed in that city. TIIURSDAT.—The Minster was quite as full fts on the day preceding, and a very fine selection of Sacred Music was performed. A second concert was given the same evening at the Assembly Room and another Ball; both of which were crowded to overflowing. There appeared to be no rel mation in the ardour with which the audiences flocked to the later performances. The theatre also, where Macready was playing fur the week, was full at an early hour. FRIDAY.—This day the Cathedral, though not so crowded as on the preceding morning, was very well filled, and the general character of the performance of the highest order. The number of the vocal and instrumental performers antotinted to 459. Among the former were Madame Catalani, Miss Stephens, Mrs. Salmon, Miss H. Travis, Miss Goodall, Mr. Vaughan, Mr. Bellamy, Mr. Sapio, Signor Placci, Mr. Buggine, Mr. Knyvett, and Mr. Isher wood. Amongst the Instrumental Performers were Messrs. Cramer and Mori, the former of whom led at the morning, and the latter at the evening performances ; Mr. Lindley, Mr. Dragonetti, Mr. Nicholson, Dr. Camidge, and many others of great eminence. Mr. Greatorex conducted the whole. When the band, the organ, and the edifice are considered, it need scarcely be said the performances in the itlinister,and especially the choruses, bad the finest possible effect. The opening of that wonderful piece, the "Der ringers Te /)eons," was astounding: it was a burst, or crash, which electrified the audience, and seemed able almost to upraise the solid roof of the cathedral. The scene in the Cathedral was not surpassed by the celebration of Handel in Westminster Abbey. The vast dimensions of the edifice, however, was productive of an effect, that diminished the gratification. Not a single voice, male or female, with one exception, was adequate completely to fill the building. 'l' he exception was of course Madame Catalani, who, in this place, more than in any other, displays her wonderful superiority over all other singers. It ii calculated that the receipts on the whole of this o r ea.ion, will amount to 15,0001. or 16,0001.; a sum un precedented in the annals of the Festival. A commission, composed of three officers, under Colonel Sir James Carmichael Smyth, Bart, aid-de-camp to the King, will shortly sail for the West Indies, to inspe , t and re port upon the harrecks and fortifications of the different islands. Jamaica, Bermuda, and the Bahamas will shortly he visited. Major Fanshawe and Capt. Sir John Oldfield, are the other officers named. The inspection of the barracks are the principal grounds for the Commission, those baying recenqg been added to the Ordnance Depart ment. STATESMAt MR. SADLER'S ASCENT' FROM YORK. MONDAY. Bert% 22:—TI : Jsmorhing.'agfeeatile to notice, a gun wu bred, to announce Mr. Radler's Ascent with his magnificent Balloon. and between ten and eleven o'clock, the process of inflating commented; and went on with the greatest regularity. The effect; when the sun was not obscured, was beautiful its thrextientet By the politeness of the Colonel of the Ist Royil irlra• goona, now at our Barracks, 'a detachrhellt of that regi ment attended on the ground to preserve enter, whilst the band were else there to add, by she poistr•tif Week, to the interesting scene. • • An immense concnurse of people was linos , assembled ; and about half-past four, the balloon haviig been u ffi ci. ristly inflated, Mr. Sadler stepped into the eat, and as cended amidst the lond acclamations in a countle.s multi insist. An accidental rent of the balloons; had nearly prothiked serious consequences; and a storm' arising just at thC moment, of ascent, had nigh to have dashed the aerial traveller into eternity, against • the adjoinicg Bar Walls. Mr. Sadler, however, with all the coolness and ability of extierieticr, threw out a considerable portion of ballast I add seeing the approaching danger, instantly and very dexterouily cast himself on the bottom of the ear, and guarded against the shtick by suspenditic himself by his hands from the cord. Having cleared the Wells, tits adeent ttl' the 'balloon much improved; and in order to show to the multitddelt he was not injured by the circumstance above nantid;' Mr. Sadler stood up .in the car; and greeted the asidpfsbed crowds.—Every eye was nbw flied—every feeling.df silta tion, fear, and wonder, were itbw In full exerciser. The bslloon passed away in rapid Owens, and 'as through the air, in a directiod totter& Sdliy, the . specti tors soon lost sight of it and its sidieattfrous aitentian4 Mr. Sadler after rising experienced weer} severe shower of snow: The beautiful rainbow wag uadir him, and its' grandeur was beyond description. The greatest height the balloon rose was about one Mile.' The wind was extremely troul.lesotne;ariri td use the words of the aeronaut, the voyage was consequently a thast tre . - mentions one. Mr. Smiler, however, safely descended at Killington, near Snaith, at free minutes past fife in the evening. but not before two of the prongs of liis grappling iron (each one inch in diameter) had been snapped In two by the combined force of the wind and the balloon. A chaise and four having been proctored at Selby, Mr. Sad ler, with his balloon, proceeded to York, curl arrived in this city at about ball-past nice o'clock, just as the bells of Coney-street church were striking up a merry peal. Mr. Sadler on his return observed, that in all his aerial voyages, he never received such inhospitable treatment, as from the inhabitants of Killington, their indifference tt assist him, and their attempt and rar.ity, was more resembling a Cornwall Wreak Hunter, then the general well known liheral:ty of a Yorkshirentan ; not a crud of bread, or a draught of water was offered. We &reaper) , to have to observe, from the wetness of the day, and other circumstances, Mr. Sadler was la loser by his attempt to please the inhabitants of York and its noble and numerous Visitors. Mr. Sadler annotinces to the Liverpool Advertiser Main. tention of ascending in his balloon to-morrow. ile states that the dimension of the balloon is 42 feet in height by 31 in diameter, and capable of containing 2,4,700 cubic feet of gas, and cotnpuled of 534 square yards of silk. BALLOON AT CtIONLET.—A balloon, made of varnished silk paper, and beautifully painted. containing about. 120 feet of gm, was sent olf front the Chorlev (las Works, on the last day of the fair (6th inst.) at hate-past three o'clock in the afternoon. It ascended with very great rapidity, and disappeared behind a dense black clottil. A now was attached to the how of the net wok, revealing the finder to give information of the time and place it descended at. On Wednesday a letter tees received from Mr. Sa I Ward, giving an account of it. dearending at Sonthwell, near Nottingham, at half past live the same evening. EXTRAORDINARY ROBBERY IN DUBLIN. • I On Tuesday. a number of persons assembled mend Usher's quay Police Office, Dublin, attracted by the ar►est of a young man of fashionable appearaucs. From the evidence prodeced at the investigation which took place before the Magistrates, it appeared Islet his name is Ueorae Oeverenx ; he had beau for some time on intimate terms with the Messrs. Orr and CO.. of Merchant's-quay, and ref:Myra from them particular atten tion ; he was Mr. Urr's guest, and was introduced to his friend; he is owner or director of a vessel now in this harbour, anti has been for some time speaking of sailing to Portugal or It4pain, on a mercantile adventure. He called "Pen at the ware-rooms on Merchant's quay, lounged about, talked over the news of the day, and made visit after visit; he was wont to make visits to the Messrs. Ores' establishment seven or eight times in the course of even a day. Latterly, property to some amount has been missing, and the Proprietors were for some time quite at a loss to account for the circumstance ; at length suspicion was created that Mr. Devereux was nut act ing perfectly right. Tuesday, shortly after 12 o'clock, while he strolled carelessly about Mr. Orr's preinis-s, a young man, named John Munroe, its the employment of the Messrs. Orr, cautiousiy concealed himself behind • curtain, and watched Mr. Devereux's proceedings. He was not lung so employed when lie observed bins snatch up some pieces of calico, and, imagining that he was unobserved. secreted them about his person; be then went away, and returned iu a quarter of an hour, when he took three inure pieces of calico and left the house, but was followed by Nlitnrow and others, who came up with him at the end of Winetaverti-street. Two of the patrol of Usher's-quay were passing at the instant, and secared him. One piece of calico was discovered it his hat, which being full merely stood balanced on his head ; the other two pieces were skilfully swathed round his body ; hanging down behind his knees; they were fastened round his waist with twine, and just concealed from obs-rvation by the skirts of a fashionable frock;coat. lie said little to presence of the Magistrates, but appeared to be fully conscious of the situation he stood in ; he shuddered, and looked much embarrassed. lie referred the officer to Winetavern•street, where he had deposited some of the property; there were three pieces of Mr. Or.'s calico found there ; the owner of the house, Bridget Kavanagh, was brought in custody by Peace Officer Samuel Campaigne, and held over for further examination. Mr. Deveroux was corn witted to Sewgate for further examination. lie begged per mission to gob.' a coach, which was allowed. He had been married a short time since to an amiable and respectable we-. man, and on his return front Oporto, whither he declared his intention to sail from Dublin in a few days, be was to hate brought home seventy pipes of wine, the freight of which the Messrs. Orr would have given bins. His dealings with the Messrs. Orr were some time since very extensive ; on leaving this, he has frequently purchased their manufactured goods r 0 the amount of 1300/. or 1000!. A crowd of persons followed she coach in which he was driven off to Newgate.—(Doblia More. Post.) Mr. Sercesnt enlist!, we understand, died on Thursday, after a short illness. By his death a vacancy takes place on the Welsh Bench. CORN EXCHANGE, SEPT. 29.—The arrivals of all sorts o grain last week were tolerably gond, but of Oats it was very abundant. This morning there are moderate quasi ities of corn fresh in from Essex, Kent, and Suffolk, with a further supply of Oats from the north. There was more demi: d fur fine samples of dry Wheat today, and the best pal t:es have obtained an advance of 2s per quarter on the terms of last Mon. a ; but damp precis sell very heavily at no im provement in value. Haley is 2s. p-r quarter ch-aper.— Beans are further declined Is. per quarter ; tirsy Pess are 2s. to 3s lower. But boiling Peas maintain their value; Oats sell very heavy, and are again fallen Is. per quarter, with many parcels on hand unsold. Flour is an thered. SSIITUPIELD, SEPT. 29.—The supply at market this morning was much larger than I.st Monday, particulart of Oxen, amongst which were a great number of fine cattle The trade did not api ear brisk, and it was expected the. the price of all description of cattle woo:d be lower. 0: =1 • • • ty ••• %aft ...•••••••• • „.

On Sunday evening the 14th inst. about 11 o'clock, dreadful thunder storm, accompanied with sieid flashes of lightning, visited the neighhourhood of Reveshy. A dwelling house belonging to Mr. Richard Fletcher, in Hereby West Fen Parochial Allotment, near the great 'Mad leading from Boston to Horneast le and the Reveshv old in. dos ire, was greatly damaged. The chimney pots and chim ney were entirelydemolished, and part of them fell on the roof and forced its way into the house; other pieces were found many yards from the place. About seven feet from the top of the roof, the electric fluid penetrated through the wall at the gable end, and out at another part of the house, and broke through the breast of the chimney into the interior, where a picture was hanging, shivered tile frame to atoms, hut did test break the glass. We are happy to say, that although Mr. Fletcher's family were of course exceedingly alarmed, none of them were hurt. On Monday night, and nearly all day on Toesday, the wind blew violently from the north, which, added to the autumnal equinox spring tides, caused the sea to roll in w i t h immense force on the whole line of shore forming the northern boundary of the County of Kent. The bathing houses at Margate were fur a considerable time in extreme jeopardy, the sea breaking over them with astonishing fury, but happily it retired without doing any material injury.— At Herne Bay, about 12 o'clock on Monday night, the sea rolled most majestically in upon the beach, and flowed nearly to the level of the terrace, as it did also on the fol lowinz tide. The wind set so strong on shore, that the ebb tide was hardly perceptible. It was found necessary to move the bathing machines from their usual places to the • terrace for greater security. A waterspout, says the Conetirationnel of last Tuesday, "carried deiolatioti" into-the town of Saint Omer•Marche. troy, in the department of the Eure, on the evening of the 26th of August. Fifty houses were utterly destroyed; two young women perished in the ruins, and eleven persons were seriously wounded. The greater part of the inhabitant, of St. Omer-Marcliefroy have, in consequence of this ca ; 'amity, been reduced to a state of the must affl;cting misery, anti subscriptions for their relief have been opened, on.ler the sanction of the local Authorities, at Dreux, St. O•ner- Marchefroy, and at Paris. A Gentleman who sailed from New York in Fehrnary last, for Buenos Ayres, gives the following description of a waterspout:—" On the 19th of March, lat. 4. N. while seated at dinner we were atoased by Vie cry of water spout.' We were lying motionless in a profound ealdi, not a breath of air circulated—the sails were all languid, and nothing was heard save the terrible roaring of this stn. oendosis column of water, ascen ling to the dark heavy cloud directly over its base. It approached us with great rapidity, and threatened our vessel with immediate de. atrection. Fire arms were (Hs:barged in the air, the sudden jar of which broke the column a little below its centre, one h If tumbling down into the cavity from when, e it' wits raised, the other half ascending to the clouds. It was supoored to be about one quarter of a na:le distant, and fifty feet in diameter." On Wednesday morning a most melancholy accident hap prned in the Cross causeway, Edinburg. A man happening to stretch his head out of a window, in order to call after some acquaintance whom be saw upon the street, over balanced hinseelt, and fell upon the pavement from a height of three stories. The consequence was, that his leg sustained a compound fracture ; and since then he has fevered, and is now • o sitlered in a most dangerous state. The soldier who tir.tpt down on the parade in St. James's Park, on Friday last, it appears, wa■ only in a fit, from Itich he recovered in a very snort titer, and was soon able to resume hie station and do duty. The mauls said to be tf a consumptive habit, and liable to fits, and therefore not fit for Gen ire. f~ I 5
