The Paris Parrs of Saturday are filled with long dis sertations on the financial plans of the French Ministry, and on the restoration of the Sorbonne to its ancient pc wer. The Finite of Sunday is quite in raptures on ac count of the latter measure, which it says f' was long called for by the interests of religion." It ptocceds—" A body illustrious in France fur its age and its services, which first had the honour of combating Protestantism at its com coenc:ment, intl which in the last century endeavoured to raise abarrier against the progress of unbelief—a body which has given to France holy Bishops, zealous Pastors, and able Doctors, is at length going to rise from its ruins." The following is extracted front tha Non-official ,part of the Moniteur of Saturday : NADAID, JULY II: His Majesty has set out to-day for his residence at La Grasi . ja. The whole Royal Family accompanies his Majesty. Messrs. Zes and Calomarde are in the suite. It was ,h )oght for n short time that the formes was going to quit the Ali iistry, the King not having transacted business with him on the day, when, according to the order of the public business, M. Zea should have gone to the shines. Nevertheless, people persist in thinking his removal very probable; the Royalists found their hopes on this suhieet on the journey of M. Calomarde. It is affirmed that the military purifications are going to be Rho. !lobed, and that they will be reduced to mere classifications. Those : who made themselves the most remarkable during the Constitu wonal Government will, it is said, be deprived of their commissions ; as far others, the government will choose among thorn those whom it shall think fit to employ. Thus an end would be put to the dis tinction of officers with unlimited conger. officers incladed in the capitulations, &e. All these officers would form one class, and would receive half-pay.

The periodical press in Colombia has been incessant in its cla mour* for investigation into the disorders of this depart went, 'and at last the neccessary reforms have been com menced by the Government. The only article of political importance in tl:ese papers is the message of General B a to the Constituent Con gress of Peru, on the opening of its Session. The tone of this document reaects great credit on its author. lie %peals of his own service: with modesty, and ascribes the 'iberation of Peru entirely to the victory of Ayacucho. He advises the Peruvian Congreis to proicribe for ever the "dreadful authority" of a Dictator—" an authority that was the sepulchre of Rome." In conclusion lie announces, fr that as soon as he has reduced Callao, lie will return to Colombia, and give to his countrymen an account of his mission to Peru. He anticipates that Great Britain will be the fit stto recog nise the inilependenc:: of that State, and that France will' not be slow in following our example. The only Diplo inatic .Agent y accredited to the Peruvian Government was from the Republic of Colombia, though offers of assist- I ance bad been received from Mexico, Guatitnala, and Buenos Ayres. The following are extracts of private letters, received yesterday : BOGOTA, MAT 9. Colonel Narvaes is to be despatched to England to carry the Treaty concluded with Great Britaiu to the Colombian Minister in Lyndon,' Mr. aurtailo. There is no political iote:ligenee here of any interest. DIRT , CI ry. MONDAY EVENING. On the Corn-Exchange to-day very little boldness was transacted. The prices of grain are high, but the holders. we understand, cannot effect sales, even though they are willing to make a sacri fice in order to realise their property. such is the strange state to which the trete of the greatest article of consumption is reduced. His Majesty's Ministers have shown much anxiety to put an end to the evils of the Corn-trade ; as it is at present constituted, it is as injurious to the growers of grain in the United Kingdom, as it is to the consumers. One cargo of wheat has arrived from Canada. and it has been entered for home consumption under the provisions a the Act for Altering the Duty on Wheat being the produce of British America. This Act, with great difficulty his Majesty's Ministers were enabled to pass through the two Houses of Parlia ment. The quality of this Wheat is not fine. It is, however, equal to the growth of Lincolnshire lied Wheat. It is worth, about G 3.. to 655. per quarter, and after the payment of the freight of 10s. or 12e. per quarter, and of the import duty of frt. a quarter, no great sum will be left to pa, for its production. Still. however, his Majesty's Government conferred an important boon on British America, and also on the United Kinglom, by carrying this Bill through the Legislature. The population of the Ca. nada% amount to one million, and they are seat consumers of British manufactures. By encouraging the consumption of their produce, England takes the best eJurse to eucourage an increased consumption of our manufactures in British America. This in creased demand must employ artisans who otherwise would be ex isting in idleness pn poors-rates, and by giving them pro. productive labour, an addition is made to the annual income of the Empire. During this season probably 70 000 animate of Wheat will be entered for home consumption from British America; but afterwards several years of prosperity must intervene before the Canadas ship .10,000 quarters annually for the consump tion of the inhabitants of the United Kingdoms. Supposing, how. ever, that England should consume to the extent of only one hundred thousand pounds sterling annually of Canadian agricul tural labour, this sum must be repaid by the labour of British manufacturers: It would be vain to enter into the calculation of profit which must arise from the annual circulation of even cne hun dred thousand pounds, throughout its probable tenfold ramifications ; for it is enough to know that capital properly applied has the same effect on human industry which a bucket of water has on a pump, for without excitement nothing can be produced front either. There is no subject of internal polity so important at present to the people of England as the state of the Corn trade. Liberal laws, such as the new regulations respecting the distillery trade, must increase:the consumption of grain in Great Britain ; and it becomes a question how that grain can be supplied otherwise than by importing it from foreign nations, without sacrificing the interests of the great body of the people to that of agriculture ; and by so doing injuring se. verely the interests of agriculture itself. This is a subject of vast importance; and with all due deference to the mighty interest which it embraces, the BIWA Preis will occasionally call the at tention of its readers to this department of commerce. without the entire freedom of which it is Vain to boist of the freedom of trade generally, or to calculate on the adenntnges which may ensue from a perfect and liberal intercourse with foreign rations. This was one of those days which most absurdly are set apart for the encouregement of idleness. It is called a Holiday, The Bank of England was closed, and so also were the English and Foreign Stork Exchanges. The Cu:pm-house has, got the better of these absurdities. The Stork brokers and Jobbers occupied the Royal Exchange, but being unsettled by the change of their quartets, very little business was done. - The Consols were /teed, at 91k. In Foreign Funds few transactions were reported. In Shares, little busines was transacted. The Herten Shares have declined about percent. Reck-salt, on the contrary, has again advanced to 04. WINDSOR, JULY 24. We have great satisfaction in announcing the important intelligence of the raising of the siege of Alissolonglii. The Ottoman forces were compelled to abandon all their artil lery and warlike stores of every description. They also suffered a severe loss in men. This news was received yes terday in an official quarter, and we hope by the next ar ri►al to lay before the public a detailed statement of the circumstances by which this gratifying event has been producza. The news from the Morea is equally satisfac tory. The first movement made by COLOCOTRONI has placed In flaunt PACIIA in a situation of great peril. The date of Greece, at the present moment, requires the corn minding talents of a General whose only object is the expulsion of the enemies of his country from her fields.' It will be time enough to found schools and promulgate a legal code for the government of the citizens, after their freedom has been effectually secured by the establishment of their independence. In General COLOCCITRONI Greece bas an officer equal to the exigency of the moment. He has the faculty of governing the minds of his countrymen, and this faculty must, by uniting them, lead to a successful issue of their struggle for life and liberty. The Prince Regent Jamaica packet arrived yesterday. The letters she brings are to the Bth of June. The only news interesting to the public that they contain, is that the late rains have a good deal interfered with the progress of the present crops ; but they have tewde4l considerably to improve those of the next year. Our readers will recollect that similar communications have before reached us npon this subject. 10 The papers are to the 9th ult. They contain not a single paragraph that we can extract. On the 7th, the anni versary of the great earthquake which destroyed Port Royal in 1691, divine service was performed according to custom. The Mexican frigate tire Surat Castle, of 66 guns, com manded by Captain Sxrru, has passed down Channel for Vera Crux. She will be joined in a certain latitude by a ship of larger force from Sweden, and by two forty-six-gun frigates. The first object of this squadron is, to cut off the communication between Cuba and St. Juan d'Ulloo, and by so doing, to compel it to surrender for want of provi. sions. Its ulttrior object is, however, we understand, of still greater importance. F , 4SBIONJBLE INTILLIGIVCZ.

This afternoon their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess or Cambridge and suite, accompanied by the Princess Augusta, took an airing in two coaches and four from the residence of the Princess Augusta to St. Leonard's Hill, and honoured the Earl and Countess of Ilarcourt with a visit, where the Noble Earl and Countess had made considerable preparation for the reception of their Royal visiters. Seats, &c. were prepared in the delightful plea sure grounds, under a tree which was planted by the hand of the ever-to-he-regretted Princess Charlotte, during the time her Royal Highness resided at NVindsor, while on a visit to the Earl and Countess, who have always been highly favoured with frequent visits from the late King and Queen, and all the branches of the Royal Family. The Royal party partook of tea and other refreshments on this memorable spot, and afterwards returned to Frogmore. JULY 25. This being the anniversary of the birth-clay dte Duchess of Cambridge, the morning was ushered in with the ringing of bclls, and °thur demonstrations of rejoicing I took place. This morning the Duke of Cambridge, at tenticd by the Mike of %Wellington, rode on horseback from Frogmore to Eton College, to hear the young gen rlentea of that College deliver orations, &e. where 1 numerous assemblage of the . nobility and persons of distinction attended on the occasion ; many of them, after the orations hail concluded, went to Windsor to view the extensive improvements and alterations, which are pro ceeding with the greatest rapidity, at the Royal Castle, there being about five hundred men employed in the, works. Arnott,7, the nobility were the Earl and Countess 'if Jersey, who afterwards left Windsor for their seat at Osterley Park, near Brentford, where the Earl and Countess are to give a grand entertainment to-morrow, 41 which some of the Royal Family are expected to be' pres;mt. The Duke of Clarence arrived at Heilbron on the 10th lest., travelling under the title of Earl of Munster, and set out the following morning for Deinaeli, where her Ma jeety the Queen Dowager of Wirtcmburgh, his Royal Highness's sister, now resides. We arc happy to say Mr. Secretary Canning is so much recovered from his late severe indisposition since his arrival at Combe Wood, that he has taken several gentle:rides on horseback. It has been stated that Lord Hastings has been solicited to proceed again to India. FUNER•I. OP TUT DUET OT ST.

Such of them as have got little or no education, and that comprehends by far the greater number, are gentleman day-labourers ; and the rest are gentlemen per sc. If they could come to the enjoyment of mercantile wealth by a romp de main, they would like it well enough ; but they cannot settle down upon three-footed stools, and bend over desks and ledgers ilurieg the time necessary for their noviciate. This, however, is ,fast the thing for a Scotsman. His desire of getting to the top of the tree is to the full as strong ; and though his hopes be not so ardent and Extra- vagant, they ore more constant, and so make up in time . for what they are deficient in momentary intensity. The! Irishman skips and leaps like a squirrel ; and when, as very often happens, he loses his hold, down he souses in i the mud on the other side, soiled, it' not crippled ; and he has to recover himself in a variety of idle gambols, before I he can attempt another leap—which has every chance of being as unsuccessful as the former. The wary Scot, on I the other hand, illogical out his tree with great care; sees ! that it is vigorous, so that it may last; strong, that it may I bear him ; and firmly rooted, so that the storms of ace-; dent may not blow it down. He takes care too that the' lowest branches shall be completely within his reach, and ' that there is a succession of tough and convenient ones for' making his ascent quite secure. He begins at the very ! bottom, examines every twig before he will trust himself to it, and never moves one foot till he be certain that the I other he firm. Others, who are more ardent anti less cautious, scramble past him, and are apt to jeer at. the wily slowness of his progr e ss ; but he n e ver minds them —l he climbs away, patient and persevering ; and when they ! are tumbling down, and he still climbing up, it is his turn to laugh, anti he does it, and that heartily. This admirable adaptation of the Scotsman for advance ing in mercantile pursuits, his extreme docility to his su periors, the comparatively little upon which lie can make himself appear respectable, and his constant endeavours to set his sails to every wind, have not only thronged the counting-houses of London with Scots clerks, but added Scots partners to most of the firms. But still, notwith standing the numbers and the influence of those pi rsonages, they have not attempted to stamp a genuinely Scots cha racter even upon that portion of metropolitan society of which they form so large a fraction. The very qualities which render them the best servants of their emplo7trs, at one stage of their progress, and the most efficient asso ciates at another, dispose them also to ape the manners and imbibe the tastes of those about them. Besides, they find that none of those matters upon which the very highest ' value was set in their own country, is of the least conse quence in that to which they are cone. Their small feudal connexions—the boasted relationship to some un shaven proprietor of two or three barren mountains—the legendary accounts of two or three marvellous men, of whom nobody out of Scotland ever heard—the puritanical sobriety in which they were educated, and the parsimony in which they were so industriously trained—have Ito counterpart, and find no sympathy among the speculative and luxurious people that they now meet. Thus they gra dually lose that character which they brought with them; anti though they never acquire time real and decided cha racteristics of John Bull, they put on as much of the ap pearance of them as makes them pass, if not for English men, at least as something very different from entire anti unexported Scotsmen : and hence, whatever of Scotch, of Irish, or of foreign is discoverable, in London, is to be' considered not as a primary, but as a secondary quality, of! London manners; and though the wards be many and' I intricate, the only key by which there is even a chance of, opening them, is the character of John Bull.--Babylon the Great. 'FITZ HALT. Of KAnNAK.—The Hall of Karnak is the most extraordinary of all the monuments in Egypt. The ceilings are supported by a hundred and thirty-four columns, of gigantic proportions, and are the most enor mous ever employed in the interior of a building ; they require at least six men to embrace their circle, and are sixty-five feet high. The hieroglyphics are of propor tionate grandeur, as well as the sculptured procession and offerings to the gods. The walls of this vast hall verify an important fact, of the Egyptians using tenons or beams of wood to secure the blocks of stone more firmly. This re markable fact has been hitherto noticed only in the oldest Cyclopian monuments.—(See Sir W. Gell's Argolis, and the account of the Cyclopian towns in Italy.) The dimensions of this wonderful hall are 151 feet long by 308 feet wide. The gate which leads to it is 20 feet wide and 63 feet high from the ground to the ceiling ; the cornice and architrave are 31 feet ; so that altogether it is 94 feet high ; an elevation truly prodigious for a gate, and surpassing all in Thebes. As a scale whereby to appre ciate its immense elevation, it may be observed, that the great doorway of the south-western entrance of Fonthill Abbey, which is at this time so extolled for its height and grandeur, is 35 feet, scarcely more than half of the actual elevation of this gate ; omitting the 31 feet of the cornice and architrave altogether, it exceeds by 7 feet the whole elevation of the Louvre.

Oh, raise not up that casket lid, Nu riches there to tempt the , shine; No pilfered treasure there lies hid, Nor glittering gem from Ormian mine: Yet, dearer than the diamond's blaze, To me those seeming trifles are ; Memorials of departed days, And wrecks qf forms, though faded, fair. Hemembrancers— yet do not these Alone diffuse this shmiowy gloom— The evening walk, the favourite trees, The empty seat, the vacant room : These tell me, wheresoe'er I go, There was a time—though now 'tis pest_ That once—it was not always so— But that was far too bright to last ,! Yea—sightless to another's view, To me, there lurks in many a place, Beneath aheaven of cloudless blue, A shade the sun cm never chase: And though afar should light, and day, And every form I love, depart; .. From memory I can never stray, Nor lull the thoughts that burn my heart. Yet might I close my aching eye, And some short hours of respite steal, Though dreams of joy might waft them by, 1 would not—it is sweet to feel : 'Tie sweet to catch the seraph tone Of love, ere yet the dream be fied ; But sweeter, far, to sit alone, And meditate upon the dead. WIT UNINTENDEn.—A wry affecting sermon being one day preached in a country church, every one wept, ex cepting one man, who being asked why he did not weep with the rest, " Oh !" said he, " I belong to another parish !" It occurs now and then, and we are glad that the in stances arc " few and far between," that some very other wise liberal persons are adverse to the education of the poorer classes ; and their reasons are founded on the sup position that it would unlit them for manual labour. We have never had the least fear for such a result, as we have ever found the most ignorant the worst servants. We our selves happen to know two singular cases of gentlemen who are actually breaking stones on the road ; and yet these persons were brought up to, and were for many years living on, 7,000/. and 1.500 L per annum !!

It has been suggested that the several postmen should be carried to the points of their different deliveries, instead of being compelled, as they now are, to lose their time in walking; and that for this purpose, half a dozen or more one or two-horse cars should be provided, which, taking the principal lines of the me tropolis, should drop each postman with his bag as near as over r i i th t i e w to ca w le n ula w ted oul t i l i la b t e tile iv a a ‘ n •e c r e( a r e ry w of tw le o tt l e i r o s urs al ! practicable to the c ommencement o f hi s d e li very.
