On the other hand, there was a rumour that the Creeks had been defeated, and that the cities of Misso luoghi and Napoli di Rotnani, in order to save themselves from destruction, had hoisted the English flag, uhich, we are told, the Turks respected. None of these statements are entitled to the least credit. 'Ale correspondence from Madrid represents the affairs of the Peninsula tohave arrived at a crisis. Somegreat political tow, it is expected, will shortly be struck by the apostolic or siltrs-party. An attempt it appears will certainly be made to depose FERDINAND VII. A confereuce lately took place betweeb the KING and Don CARL°s respecting the plot for elevating the latter to the throne. FERDINAND put into his brother's bands some pieces of money, coined with the likeness of CirartLes Y., and some intercepted letters, which nearly implicated the infant its a knowledge of the treasonable proceedings carried on by the conspirators it his behalf. Don C•atos, of course, denied that he was aware of the use to which his name is applied ; but his ex planations were so unsatisfactory that the KING was re solved to keep his brother near him, and in his power. Great efforts are making for the re-establishment of the I inquisition. Two of the old inquisitors, ETENAIW and the celebrated Father Heart wee, have had an audit:we of the Kies, in which they insisted with indecent warmth on the necessity of restoring the Holy Office immediately to the plenitude of its authority.

We know nothing certain since the retreat of Ibrahim from Napoli or rather . since the 29th June, when there was lighting at the foot of Jloutit Parthenon, and Coloctroni had ordered a levy en masse of the Pe , lopOnnesiads The news of the capture of Ibrahim is not confirm ed. These are the latest accounts, which we cannot in any way guarantee. A vessel which arrived at Ancona, June V, in three days from Corfu, brought the following news " The Greeks in the blare& are defeated ; Missoloreghi and Napoli de Romania, to avoid' a massacre, have hoisted La tan. deiru !vine. The Tutks then suspended their operations against these two places." A letter from Corfu, of July 20, informs us, that It was reported there, that the English gag was flying on the walls of Napoli di Romania. The same letter menticns a report at Corfu, that Ibrahim had been defeated 501 July, in the plains of Tripulizra, by Cotocouoni, with she loss of MOO men.

Yesterday we received New York, Philadelphia, and Washington papers to the 25th ult. They contain no political intelligence whatever. The American editors are principally occupied with the compilation of facts and publication of opinions respecting the excessive heat of the weather, and the consequent increase of mortality. The following are extracts:— _ NEW Yoa&, JULY 23. We r‘gret to hare to state, that twenty-fire cases of sudden death occurred yesterday in consequence of dtinking cold water, and other causes produced by the excessive heat of the weather. In New York, during the week ending on the 16th instant, there were one hundred and ninety-seven deaths ! Of these ninety two were men, thirty-four women, thirty-six boys, and thirty. fire girls. It is said that in the grave-yard of the Roman Catholic cathedral there were twenty-1x interments in one day of last week. Thirty-three of the number of deaths were •from drinking cold wive?, a considerable number from apoplexy, inflammation of the brain, kc. making neatly sixty sudden deaths. Papers from Rio de Janeiro to the 9th of Jtme inclusive were received at our office yesterday. We give extracts from them in another column. They relate chiefly to the revolt in the province of Monte Video. The Brizilian ex pedition sent against Ili vE as is said to be enthusiastic in their loyalty to the Extreaos, and a similar spirit is said to prevail through the army. Don Pxnito judged it necessary to harangue the :soldiery in person, and they responded to his address by the warmest acclamations. This reliance on the military power seems to imply that his Brizilian MAJESTY iS not very sure cf the affections of the people. The very fact of the successive revolts against his authority shows that there is an active an 1 , widely spread feeling of discontent, which it would be prudent to conciliate by mildness rather than attempt to quell by force. We understand that the preparations for Lord Coco. RANE ' d departure are in a forward state, and that all will be ready by October. His Lordship, we are informed, will bare a force of 8,000 men under his command ; and no equipments will be wanting to render the armament complete. CITY, SATCRDAY Everts°.

Spanish Bonds were reported a shade worse than yesterday. South American Securities were at yesterday's quotations, and Greek Scrip was 13 12i, but there was scarcely any thing doing in it. There was considerable fluctuation in Shares to-day ; those of the Anglo-Mexicin Company declined to 63, 75, and some heavy sales were effected at that price. The United Mexican Shares also suffered a depression of 1 per cent. lit Netherland Salt Shares a goad dealof business was doing, at an advance of per cent. illey reached 4, 41.

The exchange was at 45, and the price of the 6 per Cent. Stock at w 2. The Nuremberg Correspondent, to the 12th instant, mentions, that fifty miners from the neighbourhood of Fribourg have been engaged by the London Mining Com pany for working the mines of Buenos Ayres. Some of them go thither direct ; others come first to England. Their departure has been sanctioned, but not without dif ficulty, by their Government. The Journal de Gantt of Thursday contains the follow-, ing paragraph :—" Yesterday, and the day before yester day, there passed through this city, Lords Sidmouth and Liverpool, on their way to the Hague, through Antwerp, where it is said the Duke of Wellington will meet them. It is also said that a meeting of these personages will take place at Spa, and that the Duke of Cambridge and the King of Prussia will be there."

The truth of this remark ' I have found strongly confirmed by some fragments of a manuscript book which came into my hands the other day, among a parcel of old books. It appears to have been a diary of remarkable occurrences, kept by some resident of Me metropolis about Mly !feats ago. But few of the leaves remain, and from none of these can the name of tlfe writer be discovered. It may be gathered from the cast of [ his observations, that he was of the class of ottiaens ; and a shrewd and welt-inforined one. lie records nothing, *hap's, which might not have been tecordeil by arty body else ; vet, scanty ac the relics of his labours are, they con tain many things that are new, and form altogether a very entertaining sort of miscellany. 1771, June 27.—Went to see time Maid of Rath per , formed for the first time, at the Haymarket Theatre. Saw there Lord Lyttleton, Sir Joshua Reynolds, Dr. Johnson, Garrick, and Goldsmith. In that part of the play, where stime friends of old Sir Solomon Flint arc endeavouring to' I disabuse him of his passion for the heroine, and warning him of the expenses that will attend his wedding, " you must have," says Billy Button (who, by-the-by, is intend ed to represent a Mr. G , a tailor, at Bath), " new liveries, and a new wardrobe, if you go with your bride to London ; for every body there judges of people according to their appearance."' Ave ! Aye !" replies Sir Solomon, " I. don't mind that : I can have a wardrobe at a very rea sonable rate ; for you must know, the parson who is come down here to marry us, is a great patriot, a profound poli tician ; he Was some time ago a fine gentleman ; but hav ing met with some misfortunes at Paris was obliged to leave several laced suits of clothes in pawn at that metro pplis, which he has promissd to let me have upon the most 'Moderate terms. So that I shall make a figure very cheaply With the parson's finery." • • This smart allusion to Parson HORNE (afterwards better known by the name of JOHN Hottee Tooxe) and his Pa )isian follies, was so well taken by the audience, that after 'several loud bursts of applause, they would not suffer the piece to go on till the passage was repeated. The Rev. Dr. Wilson being on the hustings, the other day, and discoursing very familiarly with Mr. Wilkes, a Common Councilman took the Doctor aside, and asked him, how he could possibly countenance a man of Mr. Wilkes's libertine principles? The Doctor instantly re plied, " P,ir, there is a joy in Heaven over one sinner that resented', more than over ninety-and-nine just peewits . who need no repentance." 1771, July.—The Lord Mayor, Aldermen, &c. went .. to St. James s, to present their new address, remonstrance, Fand petition to the King. One of the Noblemen in attendance asked oneof theAldertnen what the citizens meant by their present visit ? The Alderman answered, "To open the King's eyes, and let him see who are his enemies." " Why then," said the Lord, " have you left Mr. Wilkes behind you ?" July 26.—Went to Windsor, and was much delighted ' with witnessing time grand installation of Knights of the Garter.

The Lord Steward thotight it a better plan of economy to carry the victuals to the mob,. than to let time mob come to the victuals. Ac cordingly the windows of the castle were thrown open, and the provisions tossed out to the gaping crowd below. A cloud of hams, chickens, pasties; haunches, and delica cies, of every kind, with knives, forks, plates, tablescloths, and napkins, darkened the air. This was sticceeded by showers of liquor, some conveyed in bottles properly corked ; but the greater part in rain.
