LONDON, TUESDAY, OCTOIKII IS, MS. The Paris Papers received last night are just as desti tute of political interest u they have been for some time. Id the absence of news, the French quidnunc: are speculating Kith regard to the objects of the King of PRUSSIA'S visit to their country. A Sovereign must, of course, always hate some important design in every movement he makes, especially if he travel beyond the boundaries of his own dominions. The politicians of Paris, convinced of this great truth, have seised with avidity on a paragraph in the Juu►ual de la Belgique, which announces that his Pac sstA N ..Ittaierrs, during his sojourn in the French capital, had several long conferences with the DAL CHIN, respecting tie entire of Greece aced Spain. How a knowledge of Vie subjects which occupied the attention of those illus trious personages transpired, we are not informed. It was probably obtained by one of those secret chan nels of correct intelligence by which the Continental journalists lately found out that the English Cabinet was intriguing with tbe-Greeks, iu order to establish its pro- tctora te over the Mores. It appears by the private correspondence from Madrid teat the agents of the English capitalists, who bare been J, long tampering with the Spanish Government on the subject of a loan, have at last plainly and honestly de c:ared that, while the present absolute system prevails in the Peninsula, no pecuniary advances can he made to the Royal treasury, as experience has taught them that, let the Cevernment pledge its faith as solemnly as it may, there can be no security that a Royal Decree may not, as hereto fore, annul the contract on some limey ant dishonest pre teoce. This is the language which should have been held toSing FCaDIN•tID litany months ago, and by this time, perhaps, he would have felt the necessity of acting with justice towards his public creditors.

These gentlemen. doubtless, bear him a grudge fur having so speedily despatched Bessieres. The King, however, seems to show him great regard. As our situation becomes every day worse, the English capitalists, on whom the Government placed some hopes of a loan, have plsinly declared, that the present situation of Spain is such as not to in spire the smallest confidence, that the principal proprietors are pro scribed os in prison, that those who return from America with their fortunes, do not venture to land in the Peninsula, being terrified by the accounts of what is passing there : lastly, that even if the Govern. ment would give all the securities required of it and 'would bind itself in the mat solemn manner, they would not feel any more cone dente on that account, since a Royal decree, according to our Ono. lute system, can annul the most sacred contracts. Our fanatics ate in a rage at seeing things regarded in this light, by the very persons who say they lavished their gold on the Revolutionists, and will ant open their purses for a legitimate Government like ours.

By letters from Naples of the 27th Sept. it appears that there are two or three Tripolitan Corsairs in the Adriatic, and that they have recently been seen with two prizes, supposed to have been Neapolitan vessels. A Neapolitan frigate has been despatched after these corsair., and ti m e Vesuvius, a ship of the line, was on her way to Tripoli. The Gov, rnment of Naples has ordered a quarantine of fourteen days for any of its vessels going from one port of that kiog4om to another, under the apprehension that the Captain might conceal the circumstance of having been boarded by the Corsairs, on board of whose ships the phone is said to rage. A commercial agent has been appointed fin the kingdom of Wirtemburg, at Naples. The mail from Buenos Ayres, which arrived yesterday, brought letters and papers to the 6th of August. The commercial intelligence in the former is confined to the statement of the fact, that cotton goods have advanced from 15 to 20 per cent. in value. There seems to be no apprehension among the mercantile classes that hostilities will soon, if at all, tale place. The New Brazilian Consul and Political Agent Was recognised on the 22d of July. The appointment of DON Mwx urn SARRINTIN is an nounced as the successor of Mr. RIVALIATIA, at the British Court. It is added, that as the new Envoy was to touch at Rio, lie might possibly be instructed to avail himself of the good offices of Sir CHARLES STUART, in pre , venting any misunderstanding between the Imperial Go vernment and its Republican neighbours. A communi cation from Monte Video, dated August 12, states that it is not expected that the campaign in the Banda Oriental will be commenced before next spring. These provinces are meanwhile organising themselves for the struggle they have to make for their independence. The military head-quar ters were stationed above Monte Video, and the seat of the Provisional Government fixed at La Florida, where the greater part of the Representatives were assembled. The' Argos, of August 3, contains the following account of the reception of Mr. WIIOIIB I N Paulin, on the presentation of his credentials as hiSMAJIIITV . B Charge d'Affaires to the New State : Woodbine Parish, Esq. has presented to our Government his credentials, which are as follow : " Foreign Office, May 24, 1825. " Sir,—A treaty of friendship, navigation, and commerce, hav ing been happily concluded between his Majesty and the United Provinces of the Rio de la Plata, and the ratifications having been exchanged, the Ring, my master, has been pleased to invest Woodbine Parish, Esq. his Majesty's Consul-General, with the additional diplomatic character of his Charge d'Affaires be the said provinces. I bare, therefore, to request your Excellency to give entire credit to everything that Mr. Parish may communicate on the part of his 31sjesty, and especially assuring your Excellency and your Government, of the lively interest which his Majesty takes in everythi4g that concerns the welfare, prosperity, sod in. dependence, of the Vnited Provinces of the Rio de la Plata. " I have the honour to be, &c. (Signed) " GEORGE CANNING." " To his Excellency Senor Don Manuel Jose Garcia, &c. &c." In consequence of the above, Mr. Parish, In his new diplomatic character, was Introduced by the Minister of Foreign Atilt, to s private audience of his Excellency, whom be addressed as follows : " Sir—The credentials which I have hsd the honour to present' to your Minister for Foreign Affairs complete the recognition of this Republic by his Britannic Majesty. " The establishment of diplomatic relatioos is the natural con sequence of the solemn Treaty, so happily concluded between the two Oovernments. " I profit by this first opportunity to express to your Excellency, by order of his Majesty, my august Sovereign, his Majesty's en. tire satisfaction at the establishment of such specific and friendly relations between the two countries, and the lively interest which his Majesty takes in the welfare, prosperity, and independence of the United Province of the Rio de la Plata. " With these expressions from my Sovereign to his geed friends I conclude, protesting to your Excellency, which I may be allowed to do on such an occasion, the great pleasure wh'eh I personally feel in being appointed by his Majesty to reside In a country where I have already received so many proofs of friendship." His Excellency made a suitable reply to the expirations of friendship which Mr. Parish made in the name of his Government. The English man•ot-war in the harbour hoisted the flag of the Republic, and saluted the fort, which returned the compliment. The national colours were placed the whole day on the house of Mr. Parish, and the public edifices were illuminated in the even ing. It Las been said that the character of the Roman Catho- Vc Church has been modified and meliorated with the progress of knowledge and by the influence of public opi nion. We would advise those who are, by this representa tion of the improved condition of the Roman Catholic Church, disposed to n:gard it with mote complacency, to read and . eonsider attentively the Lollar excommunication fulminated last month by the POPE against Dr. VET, who has lately been elected Bishop of Deventer, in the Nether lands. Because this Clergman has conceded some point in the dispute now pending between his Government and the Court of Rome, he is denounced in round terms as the chief of the schismatics of Utretcht. "We therefore," says this memorable document, " excommunicate and ana thematise the said 11'ittla 74 VET, and all those who have taken any part in his culpable election, and also those who have assisted by their power, care, consent or ad►ice, either in his election or enthronement." The bull then proceeds to interdict the excommunicated Bishop from per forming any of the functions of his episcopal office. In perusing this instrument, we are reminded of ages which we thought had passed away for ever. By what gen tle and persuasive means his Ifomxxas endeavours to bring lack the stray sheep to his fold ! Au anathema is issued not only against the schismatic prelate, but all those who have favoured or even permitted his election. This denunciation includes the King of the NFA'HERLANDS, without whose express consent neither the election nor the enthronement could have taken place. %Ve see, therefore, beyond all doubt, that the pretensions of the Papal Court are unchanged and unchangeable. The bull of excom munication fulminated against Dr. NIFT is the assertion of an authority precisely similar in principle to that exercised by the Popes of other days in absolving subje c ts front their oaths ntallegiance-acid deposing Kings. . "~. ~ CITY, 1110NDAY Evtwiso. The transactions in Consols were very unimportant this morning, and indeed the holydsy to-morrow, which is a close one, both in the Foreign and the English Markets (it being St. Luke), appeared practically anticipated to-day, for there was but little inclination to do business. Consola were all day 881 fur the November Account, alternately buyers and sellers. Exchequer Bills were premium. . The Foreign Market: was likewise languid both in busi ness and prices. Old Spanish I.lcids maintained them selves with more elasticity than any other Security ; the rest being more or less drpressed. Colombian Bonds were 741 3, Mexican Scrip 91 9 discount, and Guatemala ditto S} 4Z discount; Greeklionds were 281, Danish 64, and Brazilian Scrip 8/ El discount. The Share Market, as well as the others, was without activity: There was some business done in Bolivar Shares at 20; in those of the Castello Company at 4 31, in the General Mining Association at 1/, in Pasco-Peruvian Shares at 3, and in the Potosi Shares at I discount to I pre mium. Money is become quite easy. The arrivals in Mark-lane were good, but there was no variation in tb price of Grain. Advice! from Madrid, dated the 3d October, state that the King has signed the new Decree for the introduction of British (coals. We are informed that the two vessels detained in the Downs with military stepplies for the Greeks, will be re stored to their owners ; hut on the condition that they shall not proceed on their intended voyage. Letters are in town from Odessa to the 2341 September, but they contain tio political intelligence. In corm-gnome of rpresentations made in Lima, it is -understood that the decree made on the 17th of April, re lative to the confiscation of Spanish property, will not be is force until eight mouths after its date. A rigorous law was in the midst of the greatest effervescence of cur civil 's :ties, forbidding the relations of emigrants to send assistance to those members of their families who might be abroad. To this was soon added the tyrannical mason of making Frenchmen, in their own country, responsible for the letters which were addressed to them •by their relations abroad. Circumstances are now taking place in Spain, under legitimate authority, at tended with greater cruelty than those of France, in those times of anarchy. This may be proved by the following article, which we extrazt from a royalist paper of Bor deaux :—" Several arrests have taken place at Corogne ; three women have been shut up in infected dungems, for having received letters from their husbands, who are emigrants at Gibraltar, and who sent them notice that they were soon about to rejoin them."—Courrier Francais. A letter received from Banos Ayres yesterday states, that the last Spanish vessel at. war in the Pacific has been given up by the officers and new to the Chitin authorities at Valparaiso. Letters received by a mist respectable house, dated Ancona, the 28th September; state, that 'dykes have been received there from Corfu, i 4 the 17th of September, also the Greek Chronicle, from Missolonghi, of the 4th of Sep tember, by which it appears that the Greeks made a sally which spread great confusion among the enemy, and in this engagement the Turks lost 700 men. One of their batteries was also entirely destroyed. The Greeks had 20 killed and 40 wounded. The letters from Missolonghi also state, that Ibrahim Pacha has again lost, in different engagements, 800 Arabs, and that lie himself had aban doned his troops at 'Crinoline, and had taken refuge at Neocastro. Misaolonghi his again been supplied with provisions, &c. Fresh victories have been obtained, it is added, by the Greeks in the Island of Candle, which will be an obstacle to the Paella of Egypt's sending his newly threatened expedition. The above is said to be confirmed by letters from Leghorn of the 3d October, mentioning, in addition, that Admiral Miaulis, with 32 vessels, was cruising between the coasts of Albania and those of the Mores, waiting to intercept the Egyptian fleet. The Brussels Papers of Saturday state, that the editor and printer of the Courier de la Ftdosdre had been heard at Ghent, for insults and ealumnies on the high public i offices, and sentenced to be imprisoned, the former for tt year and a day, and the latter for two months, and both to payment of the costs. Philadelphia papers to the 20th ult, have been received. Callao still held oat on the 18th June, and though consi derably annoyed by the Independents, was not expected very soon to surrender. Some complaints are made of the vexatious customs regulations of Peru, and of the delay in terposed to the decision of a question raised as to the cha racter of an American ship seized for carrying Spanish pro perty. A curious decision of a Jury in Upper Canada is mentioned, in a case of murder. Four Jurymen differing from the remainder of the Jurors, it was agreed to decide by ,allot what their verdict should be. The accused was convicted, but execution has been respited, in consequence of this fact having transpired: A test of' the extent of internal trade in the United States is furnished by the produce of auction sales. This, in the single city of New York, amounted, in the months of April, May, and June, to the immense sum of 6,960,000 dollars. Extract of a letter from Havant:tab, Aug. 31 :—" The city is much agitated to-day in consequence of an execu tion that is to take place to-Morrow of a notorious villain and assassin, who counts no less than nine cold-blooded morders with his own hands, besides a number of rob beries and stabs. Astonishing as it may seem, this monster has so many friends, that 'after having been three times condemned, lie has found means to appeal, and lately did so, as a soldier, to a Court-martial, who have now ordered him to be hung and quartered. Much fear is entertained of a commotion, and all his relations are held in custody until he is no more. The execution of nine negroes con cerned in the late insurrection, is to take place this day at Matanzas—they consist of one of the ring-leaders from each of the seven plantations, and two from the city. Another plan of an insurrection of more consequence has lately been discovered, and sixteen blacks, several of them French and English, have been convicted, and have con fessed that their object was to destroy all the whites they -td. and to promote a general insurrection."—Nato York Paper. ST lAN NAVIGATION or THE MISIISSITEL—FEOTII tabular statement in the Louisville Advertiser, we perceive that, between January Ist, and December 30th, 1823, forty-two steam-boats, carrying 7,860 tons, made ninety three trips to that place, making a total of tonnage amount ing to 19,453 tons. During the yeer 1824, the number of beets was thlrty-aix, of trips one hundred and twenty, amount of tonnage of the boats' 6,393 tons, and of the ag gtegete tonnage 20,651 tome. S . O that, although the unto ber of boaf a had diminished . , in thit year, there was a con siderable increase in the amount of tonnage. During the resent year, from January Ist to August 15th (little more than seven months), the return atilt more decidedly shows the increase of commercial intercourse, as we And the number of boats to be forty-two, of trips 140 ; the amount of the tonnage of the boats 7,484 tons; and the aggregate tonnage of all the trips 21,102 tons. The total amount of produce shipped at Louisville, for New (Means, &c. in steam-bouts, during the present year, is estimated at 27 or eB,OOO tons. 'Boats descending from the Falls, above which there are about twelve boats plying, measuring toge ther from IA to 1,800 tons, are always heavily laden, many of them carrying a number of tons inure than their mea surement. The extensive iron works of Carron are very brisk at present in rhaking shot, and shells, field-pieces, carronatles, Congreve howitzers, Sitgar pans for the West Indies, &a. 'they have tortw at work font- blast furnaces, eight sir fur nacei, and four cupolas, and these consume shout 800 tons of coal, and melt abut 660 tons of metal in the week. A fifth blast furnace, on a more extensive scale, will soon be set on. To facilitate the Chipping of goods for the Loudon market, a large lock is nearly finished, which will keep an abundant supply of water at all times. At this time last year, the Company were glad to dispose of pig-iron ; but from their increased business, they now not only sell none, but are taking from 20 to 30 tons a day from their old stock. A great number of carts of stones are already laid down, and other preparations are going forward, for mak ing a considerable addition to the works iu the ensuing spring.—CistarneChroakk. ~. r . . THE B.IROV OF RENFREW. The following is a copy of a letter from the Agent to Lloyd's at Deal, dated Oct. 16, on board the steam-ship James Walt, proceeding for Harwich : " Sin—For general information, I beg to state the following particulars of the ship Baron Renfrew, from Quebec, unfortu nately getting on ►hore on the Longsand, and of the measures adopting for her preservation. On the morning of the 13th instant I left the Dowlrs in the steam-ship Tourist, in company with the James Watt, and boarded the Baron Renfrew, near Mid-Channel, oft' Fulkstone ; one of the Cinque l'ort Pilots, named Underdown, being on board from the Pilot cutter, and another, named Brett, having come off from Dover, offered to take charge as second pilot. Both pilots, on being consulted as to the ship's course for the i Thames. were decidedly of opinion the South Channel could no• be attempted, but that the course round the Knock and Longsand and up the Swim was the proper course, from the great quantity of j water the ship drew ; and, on being questioned as to their know ledge and competency, they both declared trey were well-acquainted therewith, being experienced in taking men-of-war and other large ships up and down the Swim, " They were consequently put in charge, and we proceedid round the South Foreland and through the Downs, with the wind from the S.W., towed by the two steam ships, making the Beacon Buoy of the Kentish Knock before dark, and afterwards the Gal loper Light ; at abeut half-put seven P.M. we made the Sunk Light, with a light breeze still from the S.W., steering a N. and by E. course; about 9 p.m. the water shoaled to nine fathoms— the flood-tide running with great violence, which, it appeared, the pilots in charge did not allow for, although it was remarked to them the ship was evidently drifting toward the Sand. The best bower was then let go, when site swung round and grounded by the stern; every possible exertion was then used by the steam-ships and the crew on board the ship in carrying out other anchors, and adopting every practicable measure to get her into deep water, but without avail. Similar exertions to get her afloat have been used since; and this day, being very tine, one of her bower anchors is carrying out, to keep her front forcing higher on the Sand. Se veral gentlemen connected whit the ship are proceeding with me to Harwich and the neighbouring ports to pro:ure vessels to lighten the ship. She is now quite upright, the Sunk Light bearing N.W. about five miles. Should the weather continue moderate, great hopes are entertained she may float next spring tides. The City of Edinburgh steam-ship remains to afford assistance, and to take advantage of any favourable circumstance which may arise. The wind is westerly at present, and the weather tine.

(From the Gilead Diario of M exica.l palatines have again been commenced between the Royalists of the Castle of St. Juan de Ullux and the town of Vera Cruz, in con sequence of a stratagem of the Mexican brig Vitoria, which, by using French colours, succeeded in capturing a Spanish gun-boat, and a row-boat with a number of officers. The firing Rem the Castle c)mmence.l on the 19th of August, but was not returned until the day following, in order to give the inhabitants time to re tire into the country. On the evening of the 20th, a tremendous tire was kept up on both sides. _ . . The ship Asia, which surrendered some time ago, has been di. rected by the President to be called the Mexican Congress. The mines of Zacatecas, from the year 1546 to 1818, have pro. doted 69,614,489 mares of silver, equivalent to t:08,102,119 dollars The total receipts of the public treasury for the month of May, were 489,1155 dollars ; the dibborsements for the same period, 434,387 dollars. The port of Tampico, during the dominion of the Kings of Spain, was a mere resort of illicit commerce. Its importance is a this time well understood. The greater part of the goods used in the Provinces of New Santander, Leon, Coahuila, San Luis Potosi, Zacatecas, Durango, Etc. are introduced through thiv port. The Customhouse produces an annual amount of duties of 195,000 dollars. The river of Guassruako affords the best port in the Gulf of Mexico. It is the only river that will admit vessels of war, there being at all seasons 22 feet of water on the bar at its mouth. This river is navigable for large vessels GO or 70 miles into the interior ; and it is not strange that the Spanish Government should have termed to the inhabitants of Oajsca the benefits of such extensive navigation. If a canal should be cut through the isthmus of Tehuantepec, an establishment will necessarily be formed on the river for the use of the navy. . . The Mexican San states, that a circular him been sent by his Holiness to the Archbishops and Bishops of Air erica. It re. oeived the approbation of his Catholic Majesty, after consultation with the Supreme Council of the Indies. The Pope dwells on the injury done to the cause of religion by the crime of rebellion, and the punishment which will result. Ile then exhorts the clergy to display, and illustrate to their congregations, the distinguished qualities of his beloved son Ferdinand, whose solid virtue induces him to prefer the success of religion, and the happiness of his sub jects, to personal grandeur. Sr. Michelena, the Mexican Envoy, near hit Britannic Ma jesty, in communicating Cue circular to his Government, says, that he had taken occasion to express to the Apostolical See the true sentiments of the Government and people of Mexico, that whilst they were disposed to pay every respect to the head of the Church, in a question of independence and liberty, they would not confer with any temporal power about their form of government, volun tarily adopted, or consent to I: y aside their hatred of a tyrant, whose supposed virtues are commended in the circular. BUENOS AYRES. BUENO3 AYRES, JULY 23. In the sitting of the Chamber of Representatives on the 16th In. stint, it was resolved to send to the government a communication to the effect, that the Congress, being informed of the desire of the Government of Buenos Ayres to be relieved from the functions of the executive national government, has, after mature deliberation, decided unanimously, that the circum‘tances in which the nation is placed will not admit of granting this request : the Congress, en. tirely satisfied with the zeal, integrity, and honour of the'govern. went of Buenos Ayres, is, however, taking measures to overcome the .difficulties which have hitherto opposed the establishment of a national executive power distinct from the provincial go vernments. The government, in its reply, declares its readiness to comply with the decision of the Congress: . begging it, however, to bear in miod the mighty reasons on which its request was founded, and to accelerate as much as possible the means of establishing the su. preens national executive power. On the 22d of this month, Senor Antonio Jose Foie** da Frotta was recognised by this government as Consul and political Agent of the Empire of Brazil. Senor S. Maria Pereira Soldri, who held that office, is recalled by his government. From the Banda Oriental we have nem', from which we give the following extract ‘• The column of Ahren lOnzernor of the province of San Pedro) has been obliged to go along the bank of the Rio Negro, without leaving the mountain, as far as to Mercedes, where It is blocked tap by a strong division, under the command of Ribera. On the 22d instant; when the imperial column was on its march. the vs. Dant Captain of dragoons, D. Servando Goner, took from it above 400 horses and eight soldiers, and killed five. " The reucontre with the imperial detachment above El Perdito took place on the Bth. Our detachment which defeated it was ..ommanded by Captain 1). Felipe Caballero. Among the pri soners we took are two officers. "The brave Captaril Don Manuel haralleja, in executing a bold enterprise upon Monte Video, was wounded and taken pri. toner by the imperialist.. " The lioad-quarters were above Monte Video, and the govern ment of La Florida. The greater part of the representatives of the provinces were assembled in the same place. •• The column of the centre was still stationed in La Barra de Pintado." AUGUST 3. It appears that there is no farther news respecting the operations of the patriotic forces since our last. General Lavalleja had pro !totted to Viscount Laguna to exchtoge his brother. taken near 3lntitt Video. The answer that ail! be given to the fl.tg of truce which lie sent to the town for this purpose, will be important. IA it may chew us if the conduct of General Lecor is entirely conform. able to the orders given by his government. —Argot to August G. THI:.'

Mr. Booth made his appearance last night for the thiid, and, we dare say, positively the last, time in the part of Othello. We have no observations to make on his per. formance under these circumstances, but that it was ma: ke 1 by all the faults and defects which characterised his foi tr er exh bitions, pet ha,ts even more fully than they were. lie wet several times interrupted by expreabions of feeling, frier dly and adverse ; but upon the whole the house, which was thinly attended, endured the representation with languor and inattentian, ra:hrr than with interest, either fur or against the performer. When the curtain fell, a fee: le fEirt was male to call him forth by name ; it was easily overcome, and Mr. Booth was suffered to leave the b l.'s of Drury-lane, with sa little notice as any pro vinc4l tan tidate of third-rate fame about to retire again to his local ceebrity. AVe shall. of course, see no more or him on the stage of either of 11 e great theatres. COVENT-GA R DEN. Mr. Charles Kemble played Hamlet last night, in a mat net that left little to be desired, unless indeed it were that neither he nor any other person would attempt to cm body so high and unsurpassable a creation of Shalcspea-e's enius, which demands a combination of such various and excellent qualities in him who plays it, that, without dero gation to the very best performers, may he said have never yet been found in any one person ; and what is more, never, we fear, will be. The blending of passion and psti losophy in this character presents a difficulty in its de velopment, that is felt by every one to be insurmountable. Mr. Ketnble did more for it than we wet prepared to look fir even from him. The dignity of the Prince was never It at sigl.t of ; perhaps, indeed, it was not quite so much sub hied as the abstracted and absorbed state of his in al and feelings might have perfectly justified ; the ocer.s . n.l bursts of passion wrought up by that constant feeding upon Iris own thi u„dits, which lie so unaccountably suffers to bin d er hi in from takings just vengeanceon his father's murderer, were instances of as fine acting as we would wish to witness. Toe well-known and often quoted soliloquy, " To be or not to be," was delivered without a single effort at a new reading, and was therefore well done, and much applauded. Originality itself is an error when it is no other than a de viation from what is already excellent. In the play scene. where the King's conscience gradually betrays itself until he suddenly calls for lights and leaves the hall, Mr. Kern ble, we apprehend, displayed much power and truth of feeling. As lie witnessed the workings of his uncle's countenance, his own became extremely atitnated, and his emotions were so highly excite'', that at length they relieved themselves in sobs, and an hysterical laugh. His el?atli was the worst act of his life; he whined with a continuity of breath that few in their last gasp could hope to imitate. The applause, however, was very general on his falling, and altogether it was a fine and successful piece of acting. Mr. Cooper played tarries, and what little he had to do was done well. The richness of this gentleman's voice would be rendered additionally pleasing, if lie would endeavour to avoid a monotonous dropping of it at the last word of almost every line—too much in the school-boy fashion. Mr. B!anchard, without at all coming up to the full conception of folonius, was wore reasonable than many of his predecessors in the old courtier now falls ing into dotage. Miss Hatnmersh y gave the ditties in OpAelia very sweetly, but her dialogue was of that whining and unpleasant description that is clay ludicrous from the very effort to be pathetic; nature operates in all cases with out effort, in the same manner that sincerity acts without disguise. The Duke of York left town on Sunday for Cheveley Ilall, the residence of the Duke of Rutland, on a visit to his Grace. Mr. Secretary Canning arrived at his residence in Down ing -street, yesterday afternoon, from the scat of Mr. Ellis, at Seaford. Mr. Littlewood, a King's Messenger, arrived at the Fo reign Office on Friday evening, from Paris. It is reported that Sir David Ochtcrluny, whose conduct in the war against Nepaul obtained him the warm thanks of the India Company, and so much military reputation, has resigned his command in India, and has arrived at Calcutta for the purpose of repairing to England.—Eren iNg Paper. Mr. Lockhart, the son-in-law of Sir Walter Scott, is preparing to publish a new Life of Burns, and an liway on his poetical character. Covent-garden has a new Opera in preparation, to be called and which will be brought out in the cotta of a week or two. Miss Paton has the leading cha racter in it. Mr. Kean is expected to arrive at New York about Le 20th inst. Mrs. Kean remains at home; she is at present residing on a romantic estate purchased by Mr. Kean, m Bute, and where he expended a good deal of money in building a residence, making roads, &c. The statement of Mi. Sine re-engagement at Ca vent-garden theatre was unfounded. A difference salt! between Mr. Sinclair and the management relative to his engagement of last year, which is likely to come immedi ately before the Court of King's Bench, Mr. Brougham lithig retained to conduct Mr. S:nclair's case. The report that Mr. Sinclair hail accepted an enga g ement in Italy is likewise incorrect. We understand that an application has been made to him by a person commissioned from some of the Italian theatres, but that he declined entering into any engagement. Madame Caraduri has left town fur a short time, on a musical tour; her first engagement is at Exeter, in MISS Rovedino's concert. We learn that a respectable yeoman of the South liams• a Mr. Nlordannt, is very likely to succeed to the title and estates of the Earldom of Peterborougii, and that his claims thereto will he brought before the House of Lords thc next meeting or Parliament.—Plymouth Paper. A duel was o has e t .ken place on Saturday last between R. C—ft. Esq. brother of Sir E. 'l'. C—ft, Bart., and I►'. C —s, Esq.

A new Protestant church was consecrated cn the .9th inst. at Marseilles. A valuable hunter, the property of his MONO' , was stolen on Thursday night faun Windsor Little Park.
