The banking-houses of Rothschild and Agee man have concluded a new I.satt of one thousand ounces of gold for Sicily, on terms similar to those cf the louts for Naples.

The intelligence for the tuo,t part reaches us through the mediutn tuf the German Papers, which give admission to tl,e most contradictory facts and ridiculous stories, without any examination whatever. It is certainly wiper to put in the number of the latter, and tad the wire lioe with the lauding of Joseph Bonaparte and the etnbassy sent to Prince Com r!etie, the discovery of a pretended conspiracy between a Minister of the Court of Russia stud B Iron Strogonotf, the Ambassador at Constautipo. p!e. Such stories are destitute not only of truth, but even of probability, and for the honour of those engaged in political affairs, we must suppose few of swch persons eaa be deceived by them. The public, however, cannot be vu well prepared siguitot iliac , curate or false accounts circulated in the foreign Gazettes, particularly as they are always accompa nied by dates, names of persons sod places, and a detail r): circumstances apparently sufficient to , sure their autheuticity. Fur mateloce, all the Papers have published a pretended letter from Waver. received via Aug*. burg, supposed to have been written the 27th of July. Iti that litter it is stated that a Russian Captain, who left Constitutive* on the 21.1, lead ph* arrived at o.lessayand brought the intelligerce that a mend engagement had taken place on the Da-dauelli betwri-• the ' ' I.ON DON, MONDAY, Aueum of, The two unfortunate mew sibs were •sbet at Cumberland-oate in the unhappy dispute be •tsiseeti the life guards awl the people, respect :lag the passage of the QUItIVes funeral procession through the City, were buried yestesday at Ham mersmith. Some account of the proceedings con nected with this occurrence will be found in another par. of our Pripet. It will be seen, that although the funerals of the deceased drew together a vast crowd of pc)ple, a large portion of whom pro. hably witnessed the affray in which they lost their lives, and may therefore be supposed to labour oat. uer a considerable excitement of angry feeling.. yet that, so fir as the people were concerued, there was no disposition to disturb the public peace. We lament, however, to find that a similar spirit did iesot actuate the body of life guards who are sta tioned at Knightsbridge barrack.. The officers of this corps had taken the precaution to have the ' gates of the barracks chided during the (lay, so that no opprtunity might arise of placing the people mud the obnoxious troops in collision ; but this restraint, as it seemed, suited not the warm tetoperament of the privates, some of whom, pro bably conceiving that the public funeral of these poor men conveyed a reproach to their conduct, contrived to sally oat of their barracks when the procession was retorniug from Hammersmith, and Mtn drawn sword. violently assailed the multi tilde. Sheriff WAITHIIAN appeared to have been in particular an object of their valorous indignation, for the worthy Magistrate was assaulted by two of them. and was compelled, in defence of his life, to exert his periwigl strength against the assailants. This occurrence is an unfortunate elucidation of the spirit which actuates this body of men. To attack with drown swords so unarmed body of men was an act as disgraceful as it was wanton—it reflects the deepest disgrace upon the regiment, and de mand. the strongesoanimadversion on the part of the Government. Indeed it is our decided impression that after au act of so much unprovoked violence to the people, this regiment ought not to be suffered to remain ma y 'oiler in its present quarters. The men counted upon the favour of their superiors, or they would never have dared to violate so grossly the laws of their country ; and in proportion as their conduct was extravagant, they ought to he made to feel the displeasure of those whose favour they have so wantonly abused. In Mir umfortunate occurrence no blame can roe add), fall upon the Goverinneilt or the olEcer• of tesiturnt. In both there appealed a reserve, , ii• miloiLaWicacy highly erantneadahle. W e cer _ • - gill.hing the deceased hi the hodbor of what is called • pablic funersl—it co•hl tend to no good purpose. •ud might be mode the instrument of roil ; hot the Home Department did not think it necess4ry on this occasion to interfere for the pur- pose of - kir/riot iiriaCenseq gently the people met, and but for this untoward circumstance would have separated without the slightest disturb .suce. There a no principle of government cootie to be lamented than the one which presumes that every large assemblage of people either is a riot by implication or construction, or that it must neces sarily lead to a riot. ['mice arises that fatal propensity which prevails so strongly in office of employing military force on almost every occa sion of a popular assemblage. The presence of inch a force, by offering the idea of violence and compulikm, offends the people, mid is sore to lead to the very evil which is probably sought to be pre vented. There exists in the minds of the great mass of Englishmen a kiud of constitutional .antipathy to the appearance of a military body, and whether this arises from personal prejudice, the vanity of freedom, or whatever other feeling, wisdom teaches She propriety of paying some deference to it, even for the sake of preserv ing the public tranquillity. The occurrences of yesterday only add another instance to the thousands which we have already experienced of the inutility of a military force for maintain ing the public peace, and of the danger which is likely to follow from the interference of the soldiery, At all mots, the employment of the life guards ought henceforward to be especially avoided. So long as the memory or the affray at Cumberland gate shall remain, so long will the appearance of the life guards excite feelings of hostility in the populace. The presence of these troops must therefore couuteract the purposes for which they may be employed—tumults will occur, and the loss of lives roust be the iuevitable consequence. We give extracts from Madrid Papers to the 15th inst. which arrived last night. They state that Lima, the capture of which hat been so often repotted, still held out on the 10th of April, at which date it was blockaded by the Patriots. A Flanders Mail arrived last night with Papers from D►uuels to the 24th instant. Oo the 41st the Court went into mourning for the death of the Qtteeu or ENGLAND. Accounts from Hambuegh of the nth, anticipate with perfect confidence a war between Turkey and Russia. We have received Paris Papers of the 23d. We are sorry to find io them what seem* to be a con firmation of the intelligence previously received re specting the appearance of the plague or yellow fever in or near fiercelonia, and the neighbouring provinces of Spain. The malady, whatever be its name, is contagious, and seems to rage with great violence. The French Government has adopted every pamper precaution, by drawing a strong cords. of troops to prevent the contogiuo from communi cating with France. We have extracted an article from the 11lowiteur, the purport of which us to teach the public caution in reposing credit upon the statements that occa rionally appear in others of the Paris papers re specting the affiirs of Turkey and Greece. The Moniteur represent' the greater part of those which have reached us from the French capital to be the mere fabrications of interested individuals.—There is a curious calculation of the extent of power ex erri.ed by the Censors of the Preps over the Coasti• tutionnel, from March, 1820, to August, 1821. The Censors have within that time suppresved as much matter as would fill more than la nuns. hers of that paper. This stst•ment offers a pretty gond notion of the extent to which the system of .teas-makissr is carried in Paris. We had just written so far when we received Paris Papers of the 24th, from which► the following are extracts:— ♦IESN&, AUGUST 13. The ordinary mail from Constantinople arrived to-day, with letters to the 25th July. The silti maim of Russia had been delivered on the 18th, and as the time fixed by the Emperor Alexander fur the mouser expires on the 28th, the people were very curious to know what part the Porte would take. All the subjects of Russia had quitted Constantinople; the few Russian vessels which re. trait ed in the harbour had just hoisted the French Aug. Baron Strogooolf, strictly guarded by the janissuries, was expecting at Bujukder the reins. lutiot► which the Porte would take on the 26ih, and the categorical an►wer of the Divan. The letters say little of the alarming situation of the capital. It appears that the writers did not dare to speak of what was passing. —(Journal des Debuts, August 24 ZANTS, JULY 20. (EXTRACT FROM A PRIVATE LETTER.) The sailors of Galasidia, a town in Doris, situated at the entrance of the Gulf of C►ina, who are not pirates, as they have been eddied, cruise with so much ►uccess from the Dardanelles of Lepanto to Corinth, that this place, whicl► is blocksded by land, and ca• receive no succour by bell, must PINIII fall.

As for Mums, we do not imagine that he will wilfully pond deliver his head to the Janissaries, who thirst for the blood of the Chrirtians, especially of the Greeks of the Channel. Every thing indicates that the Turk.. who are reinforcing themselves at Cuustantinople, do not think of attacking Greece. Courage and patience for two months and a half longer, and the classic seat will be fur ever delivered from the yoke of its ravagers, sad winter will facilitate fur the Greek. the means of making themselves minters of the fortresses, where the Turks already pay enor mous prices for provisions. PARIS, AUGUST 23. The Duke of Wellington arrived to-day at Paris; he has just put up at the Hotel d'Arigleterre. Several persons if the suite of Napoleon have sr rived at Paris ; one of them is M. Marchand. his head valet. M. de Nlontholon, who is still at Lon don, has received his passport to return to France. It seems that General Bertisud meant to i.tay ;tt London. By =coyote from Berlin of the titth, it seems there have been serious disturbances at Dantzic, at the beginui►►g of this month, when the military were obliged to interfere. The disturbauce arose from the Jews having erected booths in the marke►- places, which the populace wanted to pull down the day before the annual fair. The Director of the l'olice, who attempted to restore order, war very roughly handled; the booths were pulled (fowls. the merchandise destroyed, and the proprietors tired. The military who were called in were re sisted, and obliged to fire. Several persons we►r wounded, and two Jews killed. Count Latour Maubourg, his IVlvjesoy's Ambas. sador to Constantinople, is on the point of pro ceeding to Toulon, where a frigate is ready to convey his Excellency to Constantinople. Amongst the persons included in the list of Neapolitan exiles was she venerable Duke D'A UM. fur having signed an Address to the PRINCE REGENT to be employed tu the rebel army.

Major-General Sir James Lyors, K.C. B. arrived on Saturday morning at the Lieut.-Govermaeut House, Portsmouth, to assume the command.
