thus depriving depriving France of a portion of her culinary gory. By accounts from Brussels it appears that seals have been put at Brussels upon the Printing-office of Vrai Liberal, as they bad previously been upon that of Flaw Lem Colette, Director of the former journal, has been arrested. Accounts from Switzerland state that almost all the Piedmontese refugees have successively quitted that country. Letters from Berlin announce that the intelligence of the differences between Russia and the Ottoman empire had caused a certain sensation In that city. It was remarked that much activity pre veiled in the Prussian Cabinet, which was attributed to the affairs of Turkey. It was reported at Berlin that the garrisons in the Brand Duchy of " inforced by the regimer An article from Angst passage of Couriers beg burgh, has been for stated that very importai Moment carried on between North, and between thos• land. They are said man Porte has addressed subjrct of its disputes beral there that the Cabinet of Petersbnrgh has decla.. war against the Turks. An article from Vienna, dated July 8, also announces the correspondence between that Court and that of Petersburg!' is more active than ever. The :ludic Council of War has issued orders to reinforce the cordon of troops on the frontiers of Oallicia. The regiments stationed in Hungary have also received no tice to hold themselves in readiness to march at the first signal. The Austria* Observer repeats the intelligence of the defeat of Ypsilanti, with some details. It appears that the Wallaclsian peasants did not stand the first shock. They were routed in the very onset. and Me sacred battalion, 700 strong, and composed of young enthusiast Greeks, who flocked from the conti nental Universities to the national standard were cut to pieces. This gallant band denominated themselves Heterists (from a Greek word signifying companion or comrade), and were time flower of Ypsilanti's force. The countries which are the theatre of these actions are re presented, by all accounts, as being in a state of the greatest distress. Miiitary rapine every where prevails, and on the whole route from Bucharest to the defile of Tcemes, not a vestige of a house is to he discovered. The inhabitants have everywhere disappeared, and the fields of Walachia are almost without cultivation. Lower Al bania is in full insurrection, and the Artnatolis massacre the Turks wherever they fall in with them. The Con stitatioaeel mentions a rumour of a Russian army havpig advanced to lialatz, with orders to continue their march for Constantinople. Report adds that an Austrian squadron has al-obeen sent int o the Archi p ela g o to protect the commercial interests of the country. The King of Naples, in proceeding towards time re-or ganization of the army. has disbanded twenty-two regi ments of infantry and cavalry. The new levy is to be carried on miller the superintendance of a Council of lieneral 'Wirers, and at a slow rate, in order to save the country time burden of supporting a national army. in addition to the foreign force which at present does its military duty. FKENCiI FUNtis.-IVednestlay, FiveperCents.93f.6oc. —Bank Actions, 1,5151. Spanish papers t the 9th instant have arrives!. They contain intelligence from Vera Cruz and the Havannah, but not of a very recent date. The laltcs states that the papers are full of contradictory ar t i c les. There are accounts from Me‘ivo to the 39th of March ; and we have seen !he copy of a letter of the 19th of the same month, written from Iguala by !turbine, to the Viceroy, in which he persists in his demands of independence, and informs him, that if he does not accede to his desire, orders n ill be given to the commander of the troops to light. It is remarkable that there has been no action, and that travellers had been till then respected.—The Viceroy, in the tiazette of the 14th of March, declares !outride, anti all who may join him, out laws. The writers of the numerous letters received are so different in their views, that it is difficult to form an accurate idea of the state of the kingdom. Accounts from Madrid of the sth of July, state that the morning before the Constitutional Abralde, after communication hail with the political chief, took a de tachniew of militia, which divided into two parties, to surprise, at the same time, the houses of Don Pedro SaizTerroties, and of l)on Ambrosio Fernandez. They seized their papers, taking care that none shonld be lost, and the result was, that Don P. Saiz and his two ser vants, and Don Ambrosio, were confined in the prison of this citv, without communication ; and Donna Josefa and Donna Maria del Miss Terrones, likewise detained as prisoners, but at their own house. The necessary,legal steps have been already begun. Accounts from Her rera, mention that twenty-four individuals, all of the town of Guadaloupe, some of them of distinction, have been brought in here under arrest, and escorted by troops of the line, accused of plots or attempts against the Constitutional System. It is mentioned in one of the Madrid papers, that the Neapolitan tieneral, Wm. Pepe, had on the nth inst. left the Spanish capital for Lisbon, in company with his Aide-de-Camp, Col. Pisa. It is added that tt having seen the heroes of the Spanish Revolution rewarded with the enthusiastic approbation of their fellow citizens, he will enjoy a similar satisfac lion in witnessing the result of the patriotic exertions of the Portuguese." General Ennis has fled from Duranges to France, dis guised as a sailor. It was reported in the city on Saturday, that ad vlces had been received of the assassination of the Ba ron Strogonoff, the Russian Ambassador at Constan tinople, by the Janissaries, and that the Russian fleet in the Black Sea had arrived in the Bosphorus, to at• tack the Capital of Turkey. We have not, however, been able to trace this rumour to any official or au thentic source. A few days since Lord Walpole left town with dis patches for Vienna. The following is an extract of a letter from Corfu, dated the 16th ult.:—" A few days ago the Ilydriotte fleet, consisting of armed merchantmen, boarded and took a Turkish squadron, consisting of a corvette, two gun brigs, and a schooner, in the tiulph of Lepanto. The probability of success by sea to the °reeks against the tucks is the greater, as the former were chiefly employed by the Port as sailors, and the Turks, to a man, detest the sea service." A remonstrance has been presented by the Spanish Ambassador at Vienna to Count Metternich, complain ing of the language applied by Austria to the Spanish Constitution. - stk On Friday :tight, soon after nine o'clock, the King left town for his lodge at Windsor. Saturday morning, at five o'clock, Prince Leopold accompanied by Sir William Smeeton, and Dr. Stock mar, left town with his suit, in two trav►lling car riages, for Dover, to proceed abroad, on a visit to bb mother, for a short time. The condescension sheen by the King to the Mem- bers of Opposition at the Coronation is mentioned bt the Ministerial papers as a proof of the dignified libe rality of his mind. As they successively did their homage, it is said he spoke to several of them in th. most affable manner ; a compliment which was greatly enhanced by the fatigue he must have previously un- Howard (son of Lord Morpeth.) It has been erroneously supposed that the iron rail ing of the Green Park was carried away by the pres sure of the crowd; on the contrary, it was previously removed, to prevent any pressure. The Mayor, Bailiffs, Burgesses, and Inhabitants of the Town and Borough of Monmouth have presented their best and sincere acknowledgments, by letter, to J. Hume, Esq. M. P. for Montrose, for his steady and unexampled industry and ability in tracing out and exposing the innumerable and corrupt misap plieations of the public money amongst the dif ferent Officers of state, and, more particularly, the baneful influence created by its application amongst the Members of the House of Commons. A subscription has been recommended in the neigh bourhood of Huddersfield, to commence itnniediately, fordise purpose of purchasing a piece of splendid su perfine blue cloth, to be presented to Mr. Home, for his laborious and invaluable services in the cause of economy, and the detection of prodigal expenditure, during the late Session of Parliament: nn individual t, be allowed to subscribe more than threepence Other districts, it is hoped, will manifest their sense of this gentleman's public services, by following so laudable an example.—(becde Mercury.) lestvicu, RLY 19.—The first anniversary of the return to Parliament of Messrs. Lennart' and Hakii mend, as Members fur this town, took pl ice on Monday last; on which occasion about seventy gentlemen p ir took of a sumptuous entertainment at the Bear and Crown Inn. We have learned that a gentleman in the vicinity of Glasgow, has received from his Britannic Majesty's consul at Alexandria, in Egypt, letters which mention that a sloop of w.ir had been daily expected from M alta, with engineers to survey and report on the prac ticability of transporting immediately to London the famous needle of Cleopatra, which lies prostrate. in London it will be a truly noble monument, while at Alexandria it is useless. They also inform t*it the military expedition of Mehemet Alt Plebe, woVer the command of his son Ismael, and directed towards the south, had raptured Mitigate, and it was supposed that of Silinaar and Durfotir, were the particular ob. jects in view. We are sorry to hear there is a want of a chribtian church and chaplain at Alexandria, where there are so many Franks. Trade was dull and money scarce. A number of English travellers had arrived on their way to Upper I.:;:ypt. Mr. Kean arrived last week (at Liverpool, we be lieve,) from America, and is now in London. lie is announced to resume ittintediately his station on the boards of Drury-lane Theatre. Mr. Barry.—We feel deep regret in stating that this gentleman, who was formerly so celebrated in the theatrical werld, under the influence of a brain fever, attempted to destroy himself a day or two ago. The wound in his throat, it is hoped, is not mortal, but be is still under strong coercion. DRATIII or MIS. ALsor.—We are sorry to learn, says the Adrueate, that Mrs. Alsop, the celebrated actress, died suddenly yesterday morning. Her death is attributed to taking too much laudanum by mistake: she had been sick for several days previous to this un fortunate occurrence —(New York Paper.) Mesreatote CtaccslST %NCE.—The following com munication is stated in a respectable paper of this morning to have been received from a lady of high rank, who was an eye-witness to the event described : —A singular incident took place on Thursday, in Westminster-hall, in one of the Peeresses' boxes, near to the left of his Majesty's table. At the first entry of the Champion, when every eye was directed to wards him, an Irish Peeress (the Countess of A—y,) who had lately arrived from Paris to attend the Co ronation, happening to turn round her head saw near bee a gentleman in a highland dress, leaning against one of the small pillars, with a pistol in his band, and looking towards his Majesty's table, seemingly as if going to present it. She instantly, starting, ex claimed " What do you mean? What are you about Sir ?" He replied, " Don't be alarmed, Madam, the pistol is not loaded." lint this not satisfying her Ladyship, she, with the true characteristic spirit of her country, turned to one of the gentlemen appointed by Lord 6wyder to attend upon the Peeresses with re freshment, and said—" Sir, I desire you will instantly arrest and secure this gentleman with the pistol in his hand, and remove him from the gallery ;" upon which be was instantly surrounded by some of the attend ants till a proper officer took him into custody. Many of the ladies were alarmed almost to fainting. After a short interval, one of the attendants was sent to the box to quiet the fears of the ladies by informing them that the pistols were not loaded. We are sorry to learn that serious apprehensions are entertained for the Flax crop, in the counties of Tyrone and Donegal, no rain having fallen in those parts for several weeks, and the appearance of the crepe them selves being very discouraging. Tuesday se'nnight, about ten at night, a fire broke out upon the premises of Messrs. Chuffiey and son, in Brook-street, in Ipswich, but by the salons egertions of the inhabitants, who quickly repaired to the spot, it was soon extinguished.

Cap tain of his Majesty's yacht, directing a Chart of Dun leary Harbour to be tent to him, with the soundings marked, &c. to ascertain if it is capable of holding a ship of the line, four frigates, and twelve sloops of war, which are to form the Convoy Fleet to his Ma jesty. The Commissioners of Dunleery Harbour bare up wards of 500 men employed in repairing the roads in the vicinity, preparatory to his Majesty's arrival in that harbour. Lord Poweracourt has nearly completed the new Carriage Roads through the Dargle and Waterfall Park, to enable his Majesty to view the beatiful and romantic scenery of that part of the country. CATHOLIC AGGRIGATH MEETING, DVIILIN.-At a numerous and respectable Meeting of the Roman Catholics which took place on Thursday last, at the Metropolitan Chapel, in Marlborough-street, Lord Fingall in the Chair, an Address was moved to his Majesty by Sir Thomas Esmonde, to which an amend• went was moved by Mr. M•Donnell, and alter a lung discussion, the original motion was carried. His Majesty, says the Hampshire Telegraph, will embark on his voyage to Ireland in about ten days. The Prince Regent yacht, Sir M. Seymour, will sail for Holyhead on Tuesday, to embark there such of the Noble persons of his Majesty's suite as wish to avoid the circuitous voyage which his Majesty and the Royal squadron will snake.

THE LORD LIEUTININT.-11iS Excellency the Lord Lieutenant landed on Sunday afternoon (14th instant) at Dunteary, from on board the Dorset yacht. His Excellency was received by an immense concourse of persons assembled on the Pier, who greeted his arrival by loud and long continued cheers, whilst the guns of the yacht and the several a essels in the har bour fired a salute in honour of the occasion. Ills Excellency immediately proceeded in his travelling carriage to the Vice Regal residence in the Phoenix Park. To-day (Tuesday, 17th instant s ) his Excel lency the Lord Lieutenant gave audience, at Dublin Castle, to numbers of the Nobility and Gentry, who presented themselves to welcome the return of his Excellencv, and to pay their dutiful congratulations. —(Daib(ia Patriot.) Penile EXHIBITION OP WESTMINSTER HALL—Sa turday Westminster Hall was opened to the public. The crowd who assembled on the platform, which has been uncovered, extended from the great door to the entrance from the east corner of Palace yard, and the area between that and the Court of Exchequer was filled with carriages and several respectably dressed people. The door was not opened till nearly half past twelve, when the pressure was immense, and the constables' staves went most furiously to work. The most appalling shrieks were issued by some females, who had the hardihood to attempt an entrance, and ran the risk of severe contusions, if not of broken limbs. The people were let in by batches, the door being closed as each went in. They remained gene rally ten minutes, and then went out by the passage under the staircase to the House of Commons. If the people were allowed to go in three or four abreast, and requested to walk slowly on, they would have sufficient view of this splendid Hall, and ten times the number would be able to gratify their curiosity. RIM'S' IN HMI PARK.—The Ist and 2d Regi ments of Bucks Yeomanry, Colonels the Marquess of Buckingham and Lord Temple, were reviewed on Sa tnrday morning by his Royal Highness the Duke of York, who arrived on the ground about nine o'clock. The Marquessof Buckingham headed his regiment in a scarlet uniform. His Royal Highness passed through the ranks, and having inspected the men and their ac coutrements, took post, with his Staff about him, on the east side of the ground. The troops then passed in review before him in lines, companies, and finally in close column, performing various evolutions. Af terwards his Royal Highness moved forwards, and having expressed to the Noble Marquess his satisfac tion at the respectable state of force and discipline in which the regiments had presented themselves, left the field, and arrived with his military retinae at the Horse Guards before ten o'clock. BEQI:EST PROM BONAPARTE TIP LADY HOLLAND. It is known that Napoleon Bonaparte has, by his will, given to Lady Holland the snuff box which he for merly received from the Pope.

Ilenry Grey, the Rev. Dr..lnderson, and the Bey. 'lr. Porteous, chaplain of the jail. The appearance of the unhappy youth, e n quit. lug the prison, was firm and unshaken, and his conete nance exhibited a degree of mildness astonishieg to those acquainted with the daring hardihood of his cha racter and exploits. The calm serenity, however, de picted on his countenance was changed for a moment to an expression of grief, and he even shed a few te a r,. c ,s, hearing an exclamation of sorrow involantarile burs. from a few women assembled in !Ashes ton's ll'ynd catch a glipse of his tall slender person, as be passed to the platform.

Ilselkart then shook hands with the ministers and magistrates, bidding them fare well in a most affectionate manner, and ascended two or three steps of the platform ; but, wishing . to say a few words, he came down to the scaffold, when, twning the multitude, he earnestly conjured them to avoid heinous crimes of disobedience to parents, inattention to the Iloly Scriptures. and being idle and disorderly. When he had finished his short address, he requestei Mr. Grey to give out part of the 23d Psalm, which wt., accordingly sung. lie then knelt down, and prayed fervently and eloquently for a few minutes, after which he took his station on the drop, and spent a few minutes in prayer, when he gave the signal, and was launched into eternity.
