The Breperee of Braude kart given orders to pnh'ish at Warsaw, the Papal Bull of the 2lth of June this year, against the Carbonari. This order is addressed to the Committee of Public I nstrnetion, which bas accordingly published the Bull in the newspapers of Warsaw. A letter front Lyons states, that on the let instant, a Police Commissary of that town, conformably to an order of the Prefect, entered a Freemasons' Lodge (of the Alisraim fraternity), at Tarare, and seized all the papers, registers, Atc. Weary by the American papers which we last received, that the United States' squadron in the Mediterrean consists of the Constitution, the t' stark, and the No:t uck The iccounts in these papers negative the absurd story that t h e Americans are about to procure an island is the Mediterranean. 'Pie Americans know well, from ear example, the folly of forming colonial establish nients.—Letters from American ships attribute this report to tie English, who spread it, they say, to excite against Them the Jealousy of the Turks. Intelligence from Hydra to the 3d of September, states, that three Turkish vessels had been raptured by tle Hydriots. They had been dispatched for the pur chase of Christian slaves in the Mores, as soon as it was hewn that pert of the Ottoman forces hail penetrated into the Peloponneens; and, besides the large sums of money which were destined for tl. 4.t purpose, the captors fonod on board official hati-scherifs and letters of recom mendation to the Seraskier, drawn up in the name of the Sultan, and signed by the Pacha of Smyrna, and by the Kiaja Bey at Constantinople, authorising the Captains of the vessels to carry ou their horrid traffic! It is, therefore, evident that if the Mores had been subdued, its inhabitants would have been doomed to the calamities which overwhelmed the ill-fated population of Silo, not withstanding the amnesty which the Porte had instruct ed its Pachas to proclaim. TAXATION BY STRAIII.—A steam engine is about to he erected at the Stamp-office, for the impose of work- Dig stamps with greater case and rapidity. An alteration will take place, on Monday next, in the arrival and departure of the London and Holyhead mail from this town. On and after that day the mail will an• rive from London at nine in the morning, instead of ten, and will set out for the metropolis at five in the after noon, instead of foie, which will afford to merchants and manufactorers two hours additional for replying to letters by return of mail. Mr. Hart, one of the contract ors, has also in consequence made arrangements with the Postmaster-General, for the establishment of a new mail from hence to Kidderminster, through Dudley and Stouhridge, which n ill depart soon alter the arrival of the London mail, and return in time to forward letters to London the same afternoon.—(Dirmiagham Paper.) The Bridgewater St. Matthew's fair was well supplied with every commodity. There was a large supply of stock; fat cattle averaged from 51. to 7s. tit. per score, and met with a brisk sale; Iran cattle, which were in abundance, remained at a late hour, and scarcely any true sold but at low prices. There were not so many sheep penned as at former fairs; fat sbeep only fetched from 3d. to 4id. per pound. Horses which were of a very indifferent description, few goal ones being to be met with, were mostly led away unsold. There was a larger supply of cheese than ever was remembered, for they could not find room until a late hour to pitch it: hest old cheese sold at the low price of from 2/. ss. to 21. Us. per cwt.; seconds, from 13e. to IL 13s. per ditto; harm per side, sed. per pound. The fair was infester with a rang of juvenile delinquents, mostly natives ot Bristol.—(Briarol Obsercer, Oct. 9.)

Quarter 280,598 ARREST OF AN ENGLISH MERCHANT IN FRANCE. The following letter was yesterday received in London The gentleman to whom it relates is ai English mer chant, and the author of that elegant and admired little volume, The Russian Anthology. Whatever be the re salt of his arrest, the case cannot fail to be highly inter esting:— CALAIS, Tuesday, October 8. I regret exceedingly that the lateness of the hour pre.' vents me from entering into detail. 1 have now on* time to inform you that our excellent friend, Roaring, was stopped un Sunday morning, when on the point of going on board t►e packet for Dover ; his trunk takes to the Hotel de Ville, and ransacked by the Comtnissaire de Police, who to4k therefrom several letters, amongst others, a despatch from the Portuguese Ambassador at Paris to the Portuguese Ambassador in Landon. These being all placed ander a seal by the Mayor, hl. Bedard, were kept by Lim, and Bowring's passport and permit of embarkation taken from him. He was then told that be must remain here till the pleasure of tiovernment was known. That pleasure was communicated by telegraph this morning, and stated that " Bo mring was to be ar rested and sent to Boulogne, to be placed at the diaposl• i tion of the Procurenr du Rai, and that the papers of every kind must be sent to Paris forthwith." Thu., you see all the rights worth possessing trampled under foot without the smallest ceremony—the despatch of an Accredited Ambassador openly intercepted—and a British merchant not only withdrawn (ruin superintend ing his affairs, but thrown into a loathsome prison to boot. lam sure it is quite neon sssss y for me to point out hew you may make this affair available for a thou• sand useful purposes. I trust Bowring's friends will nut allow it to injure his personal concerns. I will, by the next conveyance, send you a copy of B.'s letter to Sir Charles Stuart, in which the matter is ,et forth at sufficient length to enable you to form a to lerahlejudgment on the affair. There is no charge whatever specified against our rrientl! Is this, or is it not Ultra•royalist law ? THE STA' THE QUARTER'S REVENUE. (tame • inteterietat. TAPIR.) We have the satisfaction to lay before our readers an account of the Produce of the Quarter ceded yesterday, as compared with the pouding Quarter last year. This acconiit exhibits a decrease upon the total Payments into the Exchequer of 805,5981. It must, however, be recollected, that this is the first Quarter io which the Remission of the Defies lately re duced by Parliament has produced any cansiderable effect ; and we have the satisfaction of knowing from ac curate information, that upon all the most considerable Branches of Revenue in which no redaction of duty has taken place, there has been an increase, and not a dimi nution, of Produce. In the Customs there has been an increase of about 97,600!. notwithstanding the Repeal of the Tonnage Duty, which might have been expected to produce 40,600/. or 50,0001. In the Excise there has been a diminution of 819,2201. 1 bet in that branch of It the articles of Malt, Belt, and Leather, which, in the Quarter ended 10th October. 1821, produced 3,361,1931. have, in the Quarter just ex pired, only paid in 2,221,9781. making a - difference"( 1.139,2271. If, therefore, these branches of Excise, which line been affected by reduction of daty, be de ducted from the total produce of the Excise, it will ap pear that there has beentspon the remaining articles an Increase of 319,9901. • • 1 t may, indeed. besobereiiii,itbat die reftectien of eke Salt Duty is sotto take plasejill the 3th of thauary : but these eau be no doubt Mit thaLthe ex pee tatlo ael prneuri ng the article much cheaper after that day, has iodueed the dealers to limit their stock as teach as possible in the Mean time; and, in feet, the difference of duty upon that article has been no leer within the quarter than 79,2041. It *mild, therefore,• appear, that is these two great branches of Excise and Customs, which are the surest tests of consumption, and consequently of the general ease and comfort of the great body of the people, there has been on all the articles not affected by Me reduction of tate*, taken collectlvely, aft Increase of about 480,000/. Upoa the Assessed Tates there has been • diminution of 140,3041.; bat here it moths recollected, that though the repeal of the Agricultural Horse Taxes took place from the sth of April, 1821, the arrears which Bewail* to be- paid in,weeld regent any very sensible difniqp tion in the next half year; and therefore the falling ai of the Assessed Taxesetay be accounted for by this re mission of ditty. In the Stamps there has been an increase of 49.283 L. gad is the Past Dace of 18,000/. The Land Tax appears to have produced 4441761. lees than is the corresponding Quarter of last Year; which may in somedegree haveen produced by Retiefeptioo; but probably is chiefly to be attributed to this measures taken of late for aceeleratiog the payments of Taxes into the Exchequer, and which occasioned an increased Receipt in the Quarters preceding the present. ' We have, therefore, in the general view of the state of ear revenue, every cause for satisfaction and confidence; and though it cannot be supposed that the distress which has prevailed in some parts of Ireland, could whollyfail is affecting the produce of the revenue in that part of the empire, yet we have the pi to know that the payments into the Irish Exchequer have by no means fallen...* to the extent which might bare been 'meet:id—the payments from the sth of Jnly to the 28th of ' ember, having ooly•fallea short of the payments in t e corresponding period by 61,3371., sad that the whole diminetion in Ireland, from the sth of January to the 25th of September. was no wore than 1113,6N1., notwithstanding the repeal of the Window Duty, and the reduction of the Malt Duty.

The gale still incresajng, she became almost unmanageable ; and did considerable injury to the Portuguese; it was not until a past oldie rigging was cut away, that she could be steered from crashing the schooner against the quay. In drifting across the river, she was very nearly upset, and was a' one time thee, n on her beam-ends owing to her ballast being out ; she is however, now secured at the end of the Customlard Pier. At the lower quays a good deal of confusion appears among the vast quantity of ship. ping which lie there • fastening and lashing to each other—some of the m appear in great danger, should he gale he of losrduration.—(Limerick Newt ) PIRATES TAKEN AND EXECUTED. The Bristol Gazette of the 10th inst., gives an or wont of the captnre of the Edward, Prothero, of that 'port, by a piratical vessel, off Cuba, on the 19th of Aug. last. The treatment of the Captain, passengers, and crew, appears to have been very brutal, and the vessel was ransacked of . article of any value to the cap tors, and on their quitting her, she was with great diffi culty got into Havannah. The British vessels, the Eliza, John, and 'Thisbe, had also been dogged on the lath of the same month, near the same place, and only escaped a similar fate by keeping dose company. The masters of these vessels observing the schooner that bad followed them. was joined on that night by two others, were apprehensive of a coalition being formed, to which they would fall a prey. In consequence of this they thought tit to put into Havana'', and iuldresied a memorial to the senior officer of his Majesty's ship there (Sir It. Mends, of the I phigenia) stating the eircum• stances, and s oliciting the protection of part of his force through the GOO of Florida. This was readily grant ed by Sir IL Mends, who immediately sent 30 men on board the TWA)* for their protection during the night, and directed the Tyne sloop of war on the following day to convoy the vessels through the Gulph. The brig which bad been p lundered, having pat into Havanna after her escape, immediately informed Sir IL Mends of the circumstances attending her capture. Upon which that offic.?r sent her oat again with a con siderable number of his men, well armed, on board. This had the desired effect. The pirates immediately bore down, and a considerable number came on board, and were made prisoners. The schooner was also taken. The whole of the depredators were hung directly after their capture. EXTRAORDINARY MARRIAGE CASE.

BROOKS.—Sir Francis Burdett, who is now at Bath, has, it is said, intimated his intention of coming up to London, to show his respect for the late Mr. Brooks, by following his remains to the grave.— The funeral, it is understood, will take place on Tuesday next. _ _ Very recently a drove of 390 Devonshire oxen tra vellM.from South ;Bolton, in that county, to every fair betwixt that place and London ; and stood at Smithfield market: failing in a purchaser at all these marts, they proceeded 49 miles beyond town. The proprietor, still disappointed, again turned their heads towards the me tropolis; the cattle stood a second time at Smithfield ; were st Reading and other fairs on their return; and on Thurs Jay se'nnight by far the treater part were at Bristol market ; but still they could not be sold, and were driven hick to the place whence they came; after having travelled, in this fruitless way, not less than 409 miles.—(Devises Paper.)

We deem it our duty, - iii. - Puhliii - Jotirnalists, to call the attention of our readers to whatever impror, meats may from time to time be made in our domestic policy ; to point out abuses in the management of the different na tional establishments in order that the naJioo may enjey the benefit of as pe rfect a system of government as the encreasing light of the age demands. But while thus occupied with generals, it is our desire not to lose sight of the minute or particular parts of our social system ; being persuaded that the more individual happiness and prosperity is promoted, the greater will be the sinn of national wealth and splendor. We have been led 10 these remarks from a consideration of the ineonveniencies to which most of the working part of the community stand exposed in times of sickness and disease, the effects of which might be almost, if not altogether, prevented by an effective economy during health. But it may be said, that what a poor man with a family can spare from his earnings, will go but a little way towards Its support and that of his family during a protracted ill ness; we admit at once the truth of the position, and in reply would say, that what cannot be Kermit:mil...bed i.y one individual, may with ease be dune by the many, and thus are we led to bring before our readers as Establish ment, tow hick on several occasions we have before al hided-an Institution, whose peculiar boast is, that it adapts its benefits to time wants of the poor arid labouring class of the community. Our readers (those at least to whom the Institution is known) will at once perceive we allude to the Insurance Office in Ablersgste-street an Institution that we are happy to say is rising in pub lic estimation every day; and the tilleeess of which is not owing to either abuse of rival establishments, or to advertising forbusiness below otherolnees, but of 'grow ing sense of its utility, and of a conviction of the treat and important benefits which it is as eminently calve taunt to confer on the public.
