Their silence was supplied by various reports, and I ea assured the reply of Valdes was to the following purport .I—The Cones will listen to no terms, end will for the future receive so legs of truce. They will all perish rather than medico one atom of their dignity; and if they cannot maintain themselves In Cadiz they are resolved to debark ter America, carrying the King, the Royal Family, and all the Regatta with them. If When they - have donators they carrot escape the French flora, they are resolved to sink the vessels which bear time, •«.i thus to place beyond the power of French tyranny the King, the Government and the Representatives of the Spa- Natine.-11 is also said is Paris, that the ou tta lk !' o f the Royal Family, this determination of the Cortes, and the appointment of th e Regeney'st Madrid , have oomidoead a great deal of discussion between the English and French Governments. Notes are exchanged almost daily by oar Ambramadorend the French Minister foe Foreign Affairs. Oar Government seems to bete an awkward Mutation, and it is angry with the Fronsh Ministry for bringing it into the dilemma. • The rebuke given by Mt Canning to the Madrid Re gency seems to have toordfied the Preach Ministers; for their papers give a mutilated translation of , the an- swer to Don Victor Sees; the cooelodiag sentence— “ awl it is, therefore. not comistent with my duty to lay before the King the letter addressed to his Majesry, which I have the honour herewith to return"—belog omitted. Bet this is not all. Aa endeavour is made to detract from the effect of Mr. Canning's letter, by ob. serving, that, " when it was written he did not ktiow Sir W. A'Court had remained behind at Seville, and that consequently the Court of Landon had no Minister with his Catholic Majesty,". Tbis quibble very plainly indi cate the n lure of the impresaton which the rejection of the overtures of the junta of rebeli at Madrid has pro dated on the French Cabinet. Yesterday, at half.past three o'clock, the Duke of York left town in his travelling carriage to dine with his blejesty, at his Lodge in Windsor Park, when there was a numerous party of distinguished Personages to meet his Itnyal Highness.

EXPOitrArioN OP LADIES. The letter from a gentleman in Van Diemen's land, to his friend in Edinburgh, an extract from which appear ed in our paper of Wednesday, may furnish a useful bias to the disciples of Mr. Malthus, as to the israeticabillty of permeating any improper , increase of population le, this country. It appears that the beat article of train. in that settlement, would be respectable females: Oise speculator proposes to take from one to two 41,64 t as a first order ; and so certain is he of •lisposin et them to advantage, that he only stipulates that t shall be under flay. He offers to remit the cub a 7 yarned as freightage, with the least possible delay.

While men and women are together in England, wo,are apprehensive; slat no salutary fears of the peer sure of the population against the means of subsistence. will prevent them from marrying, or " doing worse r bet if the ladies can be exported to advantage, their numbers might be diminished, so as not to leave it in the power of every young mad-cap to t.ke unto himself a wife, and burden the State with the maintenance of his children. If it be said there are. too many married al reedy. for the due population of this country,ttsers will Amid nothing bet an Act of Parliament, to enable Immo beads to export their wives. (soy thing under 50 will do ;) and the evil would be soon remedied. Perhaps also, the exportation of female children might be encou raged ; and it would be far better than shutting them up in oar terrible manufactories. to have their bodies debili tated, and their minds debauched, before they attain the age of puberty. We wish some of Mr. Malthus's power ful patrons would attend to this; and during the recess, prepare a Bill, to authorise and regulate the exportation of ladies under 50, (with their own consent of course) to such parts of his Malesay's dominions. as may offer the best price, and the kindest treatment. . THEATRICALS. • i . HATMAREIT night the little comic Piece called Match Making was performed for the first time this season. Mr. Triter performed the part of Matehem with his usital talent, and Mr. Yawns°, as Colo- Eel Rakeley, made a very respectable effort. Mr. HA a LYS'S *lmre, and Mrs, CHATTZRLET'S Lady Emily, were both full of the vivacity ind humour which belong to them so peculistly,and the Piece was altogether so well sustained as to afford the highest enjoyment to a most fashionable and crowded audience. The new Operatic Comedy of Sweetheart, and Wises followed. Powerful as its im pression was on the first eight, the general improvement which has taken pleat (n consequence of the different Performers becoming inure familiar with their respective parts.) gives an additional charm to the reresentation. It is now one of the most delightful comic treats that can be witnessed.—Mr. LISTON, who in the first in stance gave such a decided tone to the character, has new identified himself so completely with it, that the oddities of the dramatic personage seem to spring Ton teneous4 from himself. The effect of the whole is so complete, that the attention of the audience is never disturbed but by bursts of laughter. We have not space to particularise more at length, but it is scarcely neces. miry to attempt to add to the impression which Is grow ing every day. Madame VSSTRIS and Miss emerge, and indeed all those who have parts in the very pow erful cast by which this drama has been distinguished, contributed in their several degrees to the delight of the audience. The house was crowded to excess, ,_„ COUtcry or SrarroLacrioar.—.Yesterday (Wed nesday, July 23,) being appointed for the Election of a Knight of the Shire, in the place of the much lamented Sir T. 13oughey, Bart., the Borough of Stafford was a scene of extraordinary bustle, and every avenue leading, to the town was crowded at an early hour by carriages, equestrians, pedestrians, Esc. proceeding to , the place of!

He was glad that Govern ment, during the Session jest finished,had listened to the voice of the people—their interest had been attended to by Government, and be congratulated the county upon the fact (cheers) ; and when be should perceive an spa. thy on the part of Government to the people's interests, be rould be found active in awaking It to a proper sense of its duties. He thanked the Electors for their numerous attendapce ; and afterlteing chaired through the town, the Electors retired to eat, drink, and make merry, the customary isvel to an Election. LINCOLN, dela' 117.—The following melancholy 6e. currence took place in this city on Wednesday after noon the 16th init. Three young men, (Mr. Draycott, draper, Marshall, and Robert, the-only son of Mr. Bristow, plumber and glasier,) intending to fish with a east-net in a part of the Witham called Brayford, took for that purpose a bostwright's dont or flat, such as are used for painting and repairinrvesside, and consisting merely of a few light planks. It appears that in wing their net, they injudicionsly.pressed to one side, which occasioned theloat gradually to be submerged in the water. The young men perceived it sinking ender them, but they being all swimmers, it excited no uneasi ness; in endeavouring to swim to the shore, however, we regret to say, that Mr. Bristow, a very respectable ya w,, was d r owned, and the others did not reach the shore without .difficulty, one of them (Mr. Draycott) being almost exhansted.—lamediate search was made for the body, but without success, upwards of an hour elope iog before it was found.—The usual remedies were per severed is fOTJtealsidellthie tithe, bat is vain. -- ~ a .:..-- ...... - -- WIMP Of CHANCERY—erns DAT.)

Mc Commas/ opened the cue for the pursuers, and called seven witnesses. Mr. J. A. MURRAY stated the case for the defender, and called several witnesses; when Mr. Mortemart replied for the planners. . The evidence was summed up by the LORD Cum CONSIIB6IONRI ; and the Jury. after retiring for two or three minutes, returned a verdict, finding for the defender on both issues (So much importance was attached to this cause, that an individual, who was considered to be on the point of death, was brought from Liverpool to give his evidence upon it. This witness having been placed in the witness box, delivered his testimony in a manner which produced • very solemn effect upon the auditory--for we shell not presume to imagine how the Court and Jury were affected by it. After saying that he expected shortly to appear before the judgment-seat of the Eternal, and that he had came to perform an set of jus tice, which, until he had performed it, he could not die in peace, he declared upon the oath of a dying man, that there was not a bit of Ivory on board the vessel.] THURSDAY. JULY 17. coma V. MACKINTOSH. This case came bef,,re the Court this der. The ques tion the Jury had to try was, Whether the words con' tabled in certain letters writ ten by the defender, quoted in the issues (which are of great length), were of sad concerning the pursuer, and meant to represent him as se unprincipled person, and unworthy of all trust; and as a person, the appointment of whom to be a Justice of Peace, was of a mischievous example, scandalous in the eyes of society, and a measure which could not fail to have toe worst effect on the minds and morals of the lower ranks. _ _ _ _ Mr. bloNcaster opened the case for the pursuer, and called several witnesses. Mr. MATHESON stated the ease for the defender, but examined no witnesses.

Mr. Sutton, was shot through the body by some mis creants, while on his way from the neighbourhood of Ballyporeen to his residence at Kilworth. There was scarcely any doubt of the wound being mortal. At Roscoe, near Ardfinan, a man, being observed in a fruit garden by the Police, in the act of plundering it, was fired at by them and killed on the spot. At midnight,(Friday night,) about eight miles at this side of Limerick, on the new line of road to Tipperary, a house was buroed by ioceadiaries.

A party of five gentlemen dined with me yesterday, and after dinner, a vase, containing some orange Hikes, was placed, by my servants on the table by my directions. We drank several toasts, and on the Glorious and Immortal Memory being given, an on. blown Lilly, which the party were remarking, -expanded its leaves, and appeared before us in all its splendour. Our astonishment never was so fir excited before, as at this (I may caU it) phenomenon. Should you for one moment doubt the assertions I now make, I will make an affidavit of the fact, and have it further corroborated by the Gentlemen who were present, and who are reed/ to come forward to verify it.

Sorioxx DZATN.—Yesterday mornine, at 10 o'clock, an Inquisition was held before T. S•rint.ixo, Esq. Co• roner, at the Albion, Vernon Plate, Bloomsbury, on the body of Sampson Perry, Esq. a gentleman who for. merly was connected with the public. press, in the sitna. tion of proprietor and editor. It appeared from tile evidence that be had latterly become rather deranged in circumstances; bet although veal considerably in debt, his creditors Wert:tined tbe highest opinion of hire; . he was obliged to go into Whitecross Street Prison; ten{ while be remained there his affairs were placed in a way of settlement, and on Tuesday last he was ordered to attend in the Insolveat Debtors' Court. On his way to Westminster for that purpose, the turnkey who at ompanied b'in allowed bins to call and see his w fe, in aged lady, living in Soothamron Street, Bloomshory, where he had held a house for 22 years. Having taken - some refreshment, he proceeded to the Court, and no opposing creditor appearing, he was declared entitled to his discharge. He returned from the Court, in exceed ingly good spirits, to Southampton-street, merely to din ner, as the officer who accompanied him was ordered to t:•lte him back to prison, from wbedee, es WMinesdays he would have been discharged. had Le Heed. Perry bad prepared some dinner, to which he letdown. laughing and making sem- .inesorous observation ; hot just as he was conveyine some food to his mouth fell back in his chair, exclaiming, " Lord, have Exley upon its !" and instantly, expired. Surgeons were sent for, but of no avail, the vital spark had fled; and on ex. attaining the body internally, it was discovered his iteath was occasioned by the rupturo of the main artery of the heart. He was 7 years of age, and a gentleman stated to the jury that his life was full of vicissitude : he bad been opulent, and extremely poor; he, bad had friends, and was bereft of threm ; and be had had many narrow escapes with his life, in situations of imminent peril, and times of great danger, one of whic's the gentleman instanced. Daring the French revolt. tion, he was confined nine times in French prisons; and during the reign of Robespierre he was confined with Thomas Paine, and was by the ferocious assassin con demned to death, without the then thought unnecessary form of trial.
