By tl:e Fretich Pa; rs which we base received since oar last publication, we learn that the affairs of Spain have reached their Litre -cud crisis. The standard of revolt has at length bcc:► hosted by the apostolic party against their rksereign. he insurrection was headed by the notorious BEL'YtEaLs, and the pretext was, that which was taught hitn by the French, siz. the deliverance of the KING from the captivity in v.llicli, it was alleged, he was held by his Ministers. The revolt had been for some time organising. The monks in every part of the kingdom have been presett ing against FEEDINANu VII and his French allies. Several acts of violence have occurred in the provinces, is rash attempts to proclaim Don Caecos. It was known that an extensi re conspiracy was actively engaged in ►caking preparations for a decisive blow in the capital. it appears that on the 'ph inst. a fanatical monk, in a sermon which be delivered openly in the streets of Madrid, denounced the N o as unfit any longer to reign over the Spanish people. .1; asps N A xv, he said, was a fieemason, and therefore un worthy to govern a nation so purely and eminently Catholic. The preacher afterwahls eulogised the talents and piety of iJoo C.+ plos, and predicted that all kinds of blessings v , , J uld be showered on the land when that Prince :t►ould Lave ascended the throne. No one attempted to Alen ce us interrupt this seditious harange. He was patiently his address at his pleasure. hmtrd. and suffv;ed to finish 11111111111111111' Cooke:. tivward. Two days a(terwardc Breit Laza quitted Madrid for the purpose of exciting the revolt for " the deliverance of the Kllls.'"fliere can be no doubt now as to the motives which led to the formation of the French camps on the frontiers of Spain. The rebellion of Bess F ars, accord ing to the statement of the Etrile, does not seem to have been of a very formidable character. Yet it is remark able that he was not made prisoner, and the tone of the (loyal Proclamation indicates that it was issued in a mo ment of consitlerable alarm. We have no fresh intelligence from the Morea. The successes of Timm' ix PAC II A are represented to have sti mulated the Turkish Government to make an effort to assist him in the subjugation of the Creeks. The second expedi. tion from Egypt has been arrested by the appearance of the plague at Alexandria. [From the Ettiik dated Saturday, August 27.] • PARIS, AUGUST 20. We gave yesterday the news from Spain as we received them. We did not add any comments ; we abstained from relating all the absurd reports which were current at 31adrid, as well as the Jour. nals which relate them to-day, from their letters of the 131 h, while our last letters are of the 20th. ' One Journal pretends that SOO persons have been arrested at Se- ville. Wt. believe that the number is reduced to twelve. Another that M. de Zea was for fourteen hours out of office—that an august personage spoke to the King of Spain ot• abdicating, A•e. Those men whn seek for truth have been so often deceived by all these ., Journals that none know how to appreciate their news. In fact the better to comprehend the situation of Spain, we must recollect with what facility people's minds were agitated in France in 111111, 17. 18, and 19. It was also believed that the ethuinal attempts of I)i: died and Berlin were more serious than they really were. It WU Fast', at that time, to alarm Europe with reaper' :o our situation; 1 and it was accordingly done. Let us,apply 'flu se reflections to Spain and we shall be sensible that it will require some years fOt! order to be restored after such great revolutions: In politics the imaginations of men are disturbed long arta all movement has ceased. ACcording to the most recent letters from the Levant, the slicers& es of Ibrahim P.icha have induced the Porte to make new efforts to ameltde the war this campaign. Fresh armaments are preparing in the port of Constantinople; and it Is said, that in the course of August a squadron will land troops, and a great number of trans ports will sail to reinforce the Capitan Pscha, of whose arrival no mire is said. Exertions arc also making to increase their corps in Albania, Thessaly, and Negropont. The Porte is still in hones of sending against the Greeks a strong body of Janissaries, because the accounts of the victories gained have produced a favourable impression on that corps. The Pacba of Egypt intended to send a new squadron with 8,000 men to the Mores ; but the departure of this expedition has been hindered by the plague at Alexanaria. The Greek Admirals Allaulis acid Sachtury are forwarding with great activity, at Hydra and Spezaia, the reinforcements promised them consisting of ships of war and fire ships. As soon as all the fleet is assembled a strong division will sail for Missolonglii. By accounts from Tangier of the fith July, we learn that the Emperor of Morocco had just gained a vietee over the revolted tribes near !!equines. Salutes of artillery were tired at Tan. gicr in consequence. For the sake of intimidation and example, the Emperor has sent several hundreds of beads to the principal towns of the kingdom.

An article dated from Stockholm alludes to the re cent sale of some Swedish ships of war, and intimates that only the " most important consideration" could have in the Swedish Government to have annulled the con ' tract; as, according to the conditions of sale, all the expenses incurred by the purchasers were in that case to be reimbursed. Who the purchasers were, we are not informed ; but it is ge nerally understood that they were agents for one of the new American states. M. DE QUARTEL, who was lately in Colombia op a mission from the-COOVernalent of the Ne therlands, has been despatched to Mexico on a similar er rand. A Colombian commercial agent has taken up his residence in Curavoa. STOCKHOLM, Ara. 16. The Journal called Argos 11l hopes that the conjecture that tie Government will revoke the sz.le of some ships of war, is un founded, on account of the burdensome condition said to be an nexed in the contract to the permission to rovoke it, by which all the expenses incurred by the purchasers in fitting them out are to be made good, so that it is to be presumed that none but the most important considerations could induce the government to annul the contract. BRI'IIEI.I, AVG. °2. We learn from Louvaine, that the preparation for the Philoso phical College are proceeding w ith activity, and that no sciences are to be taught in it but those which were taught in the ancient University of Louvain, and which the students in divinity must at tend to before they are admitted to a seminary, or to the theological faculty.

The masoning of ADAM SMITH on subjects connected with the great interests of commerce and the prosperity of the mer cantile world becomes no longer applicable. All its data has disappeared. with this change, and with the newly-discovered doctrines of our political economists, " The Wealth of ..Vations," a work Which . Ministers and Statesmen of the old regime opened with reverence, is be- Caw little baiter than a last year's almanaik: Whether,- having refined away all our old notions, we Sall replace them with others more practically useful, .remains to be seen. lf, a ft er breaking up the ancient system, we can re cast it in the new mould of a more perfect policy, there certainly seems no just cause or impediment why we should stay the progress of our wisdom. For our own parts, we have no inclination to rebel against the aUthority of the new school. We are even content to take for granted all that Mr. MA LTHUs lays down as law about the giometrical progress of popolation, and to believe that the rate of in crease between the sexes will be found, .at, the end of twenty-five years, to have left the increase of subsistence at' au immeasurable distance behind it. The race between them, we suspect, will go on with very little regard to the calculation of the economists as to the result of their relative rapidity. But be this as it may, every inqUiry which has fur its object the future improvement of society, deserves to be followed out to the full extent of its theory, whatever becomes of its illustration in practice. Mr. 'MA t.r it us is entitled to the public gratitude for the hew light which be has thrown on the tendency of all animated life to multiply beyond the nourishment prepared for it ; and it is with a mixture of surprise and disgust that we find an attempt made to hold up the disciples of Ids doctrine as patrons of those revolting propensities to which the public attention has been called of late, and which are represented as zquar- Mg in their result with their system of tile soundest ',QIN.' cal economy. " Mr. MiCtittoctt," we are told in a weekly newspaper of yesterday, " has, by fir. promptitues k - •- 0C his aisavo*al of any approbation of these practices; take care that his name shall not be associated with' the Muir heads of the day." If this be true of the Ricardo Lecturer, we cannot much praise his wisdom. There was no call whatever that we can see for any such display of suscepti bility. No one with a grain of common sense in his head, orof candour in his heart, can for a moment consider the moral feeling and sentiment of any class of men as resolv able into their theory, whatever it may be, of political eco rurnty. As well might the moral opinions of a matlietna tician be supposed to arise out of the geoMetrical relations of a circle or st triangle. Contempt is the only answer by which any contrary opinion can be met, and our only wonder is, that it should, even in a single Instance, have received any other. CITY, SATCIDAY EVENIXO. _ . There were considerable fluctuations in the British Stock market this morning. Consols opened for the Ac count at 804, with every appearance of a fall, which for a few minutes took place, as there were sellers at 4. Some brokers, however, came in, who bought at 4 rather briskly, and that gave a turn to the market. lit the middle of the day no business beyond that which referred to yesterday's settlement was tran s acted; but towards three o'clock some sales were made, and Consolssuildenly declined to 884 for Money, and to SOH for the Account. The cause of this unexpected decline, we have no doubt, has its origin is yesterday's account. The scarcity of money, which was felt today as much 'as yesterday, has operated powerfully in depressing every security in which a quotation was reported in the Foreign market. Colombian Bonds. were as low as and. 3lexi• can Scrip 41 diseMmt. Mullion Scrip has now reached '74 discount, and Vanish ditto les gone down to 6, 54 (Bs. count. The new'Guatemala Scrip, in common with other securities in this market, is still at 144 discount. Creek Scrip was better than it was yesterday. It was reported to-day at 16, 151. Old Spanish Bonds were at si'2ll. Fcr the nevi we heard no price. The business in the Foreign 'market was heavy throughout the day. In Shares, the scarcity of money of course was equally felt as it was in Foreign securities, and it had a similar, effect upon them : the bargains consequently were limited in them. Anglo-Mexican Shares were at 6.5. 70: those of i the United Mexican Company 17, 19, and Pasco Peruvian Shares 19. The Sharss of the other Companies, in which business was done, were without variation. The King of France, it is said, on St. Charles's day intends to make several promotions in the orders of Saint Louis and the Legion of Honour. The army is to receive 500 Crosses. On the 14th July the French Rear-Admiral Ligny, at Smyrna, gave a grand entertainment in honour of the 'coronation of Charles X, which was celebrated with great pomp and solemnity in that city. Sr. Dont xco.—The French part of this island consists of 1455 square leagues, of 25 to the degree. Spanish part, 2281 ditto; islands, 110. Total, 3946. The present po pulation, 935,365, of all colours, being an augmentation, in forty years, of 235,000. Should the population con tinue to increase in the same proportion, of one per cent., it would in a century amount to two millions. The ex portations from the French pan of St. Domingo, in 1788, to France,amounted to 175,990,000 francs, and the import ations from France to 54i millions ; of which 30 millions were from Bordeaux, 12 from Marseilles, and five from Havre. The ports in the French part of St. Domingo are, Cape Franconia, the Mole, St. Nicholas, Port-au-Prince, Leoganes, &c. &c. The Spanish part has few ports, only St. Domingo and Samana are frequented.--Joia lid des Debate. The law of England does not recognise any power in a foreign tribunal to dissolve a marriage contracted in Eng land ; but it would seem, by a late French decision, that the law of France goes a step farther, and does not recog nise the power of a foreign tribunal to dissolve a marriage, u./ierever contracted. The Cour Reyek of Paris lately de cided that a marriagirtortnetiel is Ftairee between one Constantin Zaffiropolo anti Mademoiselle Mauduit du Boisset, was null and void, lit reason of Zaffiropoio's prior marriage at Zante to one Maria Verestia, which marriage had not been dissolved by a divorce. And they added, "that even if a divorce had taken place, yet, inasmuch as the capacity of aliens to contract marriage in France must be subordinated to the Civil Code (which does not allow divorce) the second marriage would be equally null." , SEICIDES AND LOTTERIES.—The Courricr Francois says, speaking of the number of suicides committed in I'aris compared with the number committed in London, that whatever causes the wretheduess of the people, causes suicide. But wiry is this cause more powerful in Paris than in Landon, Vienna, or Berlin ? It' it be so, is it not necessary that Paris should have Is‘e Lottery Offices, which raise from the lowest classes of the people an annual sum of 0 million ? Must the speculations on the Stock Ex change be curbed when they produce 19 millions yearly to the brokers ? Is it not necessary that Paris pays al mil lions levied by order of a Council nominated by the .Ministry. than to have only the half to pay if levied by a Council appointed by the inhabitants ? Can the gambling houses be shin up when they yield 11 millions a year ? These are good reasons, then, for not altering the present state of things, and we must not think of such a trifle as one-eight of the population being reduced to poverty, and of the number of suicides without example in any foreign canal. • EATH OF WILLIAM REFUS.—A correspondent, resi dent in the New Forest, who is perfectly conversant with its local history, having observed an extract from Dr. Lingartis History of England, in which the circumstances attending the death of William Rufus are erroneously stated, has favoured us with the following observations on this interesting event :—`‘ There is," he says, " in all good Maps of Hampshire, and amongst others in Carey's New Map now publishing, a ford marked in the Avon, called Tyrrell's Ford ; the manor in which this ford is situated is called Avon Tyrrell, because Sir Walter Tyrrell escaped by this ford from Hampshire into Dorsetshire, whence he fled to France; and the proprietor of this manor pays to the Seriff of HaMpshire, to this day, a yearly fine cd' five poundw imposed on it as a punishment on the then owner Toe having suffered Tyrrell thus to escape. This shows evidently that Tyrrell was put sued on the Spot, wrongfully or not, as 'Ong Rufus's murderer, and that he was so long beset that *se was tints. to alio crtletittifillblie It 'bell' the NJ.W. Forett,larinst Itifs..atherieiers b me con d have attached to the owner of the manor in question; and Tyrrell would not have fled, and waited an opportunity of escape, if he had not known that be was pursued for a .crisne.'—ifornpshire Chronicle. PILCHA BD Fisurae.—The accounts from time coast east and west of this port, during the past week, are of the most cheering description. Immense shoals of pilchards have made their appearance, and both the drift-boats and seans have been actively employed in securing the fish, which are found to approach nearer to the shore than for many years past. - The scans at Looe, Wrinkle, Fowcy, Mevagiusey, Cawsand, Yealm, and Bigbury Bay, have been more or less successful. Two thousand hogsheads were enclosed in Bigbury Bay on Tuesday evening and there is every prospect that this season, at least, will stand comely repay the adventurers.—Truro Paper. The potato° crop in Scotland is generally supposed to be; rather deficient ; but a successful agriculturist, whose farm is eight miles from Glasgow, had sold his on the foot at 241. per acre.—Glase . ow Chronicle. On Sunday week, a sermon was preached by Dr. Harris, at the Independent Chapel, Southampton, for the benefit of the College about to be established at Highgate, instead of the one at present existing at Holton. The Rev. Gentleman stated that the original building was only in canted for three sttultnts, that their present number was, forty, and tha , the enlargements had been by no means in proportion to their increase. Ile then stated that the plan now in hand being on a far more extensive scale, called for the libetal support of the congregation. Seven gold coins of the reign of the Roman Etnreror Constantine was lately discovered by a woman cutting turf upon Holyhead Mountain, about a mile distant from the South Stack. They are all of the same era, but struck I y two different dies. They are iu excellent preservatior.— Shrew:Lire Cleertictr. • REVOLT IN SPAIN. [From the fitui dated Friday:l On the 16th instant General Bessieres secretly quitted Madrid, with the intention of placing himself at the head of some partisans, 'and to deliver the King of Spain froln" the captivity in which he was held by his Ministers. We learn that on the 17th, three companies of the regiment of Santiago, csntoned at Jima, took the route with Bessieres toward. Brihuegs. We are given to understand, that Bessieres presented himself be fore Brilmega, in the name of the King . ; and that after having re viewed the royalist volunteers of that city, who amounted to about fifty in number, he made them lay down their anus, which he and the hundred partisans who followed him took possession of. With regard to the three companies of the regiment of Santiago. as they at present suppose themselves to be marching in the name of the King. under:the orders of their Lieutenant-General Gomel', they Rill, is soon as the truth is made known to them, return to their duty. Ilessieres was not arrested at Brihuega. We believe 1114 he is making Isis way towards Annum. where he hopes to KIM with some more partisans. But notie- has been everywhere given of his revolt, and we have no doubt that tie will soon be arrestee. There are already two strong columns of about 300 men, infantry and Cavalry, with four pieces of cannon, in pursuit of hint, under the command of General Count D'Espagne. We, conceive it our duty to publish the decree of his 3lajesty on this subject. ROYAL DECREE. The ecandalotts insurrection which has taken place at Jetafe, and which has been caused by the desertion of two officers of the First Regiment of Cavalry; of the line of Santiago, and who hare taken away six horses and as many soldiers. and w'oote example has been followed by three entire companies of the same corps who were in garrison at Jetafe, has engaged my sovereign attention, and has convinced my royal mind of the necessity of taking strong measures to insure the public tranquillity and the repose of my well-beloved subjects. Whatever, therefore, may be-the pretext for this rebellion, and whatever might have beep the means employed to seduce the troops, the guilty ought to be punished in all exem {Amy manner. To that end I have decreed as follows : Astiele 1. If upon the tint order signified by the Generals.in- Chief and Officers of my troops, the rebels do not surrender at dis cyetion they than all be shot. 2. All those who have joined the rebels, and have made com mon reuse with them, shall be punished with death. . 3. \o time shall be granted to the iebels who shall be taken with arena in their hands to prepare for death by the aid of religious con. aviation. 4.:111 persons, military or not, who, in other respects, shall haw: rendered themselves equally guilty of the crime of rebellion, , shall incur the penalties imposed by the s preceding articles. 5.

THE GREEKS. [From the Or pectotor.l SMYRNA, JULY 19. According to accounts brought from Cerigo by an Austrian VC , - sel, which left the island on the 23th of June, it was crowded with fugitives from the Mores, so tar,it was thought it would:not be pos sible to receive any 'more families without running the risk of famine. The whole coast of Cerigo is stated to he covered with tents, in which the fugitives encamp to perform quarantine. The Oreek pirates infest all these seas, and respect no European flag ; it is impossible to explain the silence or the patience of the great European cabinets. The pirate Dimitic, who plundered the lonian, Captain Pelala, bound from Smyrna to Malta, has been arrested, and will be taken to Malta. Captain Hamilton saw in the Gulf of Smyrna two mistics, which lie was going to visit, but the Greeks fled to Long Island, presuming them to be pirates, as all three mistics are; he ordered a landing on the island, but nobody could be found. It was re solved to set tire to the brushwood, on which nine men came out, one of whom was recognised to be Minnie, one of Pelala's sailors, whom Captain Hamilton had with him. The pirate had sent the merchandise taken from Pelala to Paros, where M. de ltigny, Ilse French commodore, accidentally arrived, on which the Greeks, who were accomplices in the robbery, fled into the mountains. Al, de Rigny, suspectilg the goods which they had abandoned to be stolen, had them deposited in a church, the doors of which he sealed, making the }parch responsible till the affair should be cleared up. It was soon knirn at Smyrna that these goods were saved. Captain Hamilton sent a vessel to fetch them ; but when it arrived at Paros, the goods had vanished ; as soon as M. de Itigny had left the island, the Eparch had broken the seals, and carried off the goods, and lied into the mountains. The English in vain looked for him. Captain Hamilton, incensed against this land pirate, is now prosecuting this affair. NATOLI DT ROMANIA, JULY S. • Ibrahim Pacha seems to have made Tripolisza the centre of his military °petitions. When he set out with 8,000 men to make a reconnoissance in the Alorea, as far as to Napoli di Romania, he had to pass the very difficult defiles of Leondari. The passage there is certainly narrow, and above, the mountains are so close, that the distance between the summits is less than a pistol shot. It was on one of these heights that Colocotroni had posted and ford -11 fled himself. Ibrahim harip reconnoitred the positions of the Greeks, laughed at the - uh they had committed, took pos session of the nelphbouting mains which they had neglected, was even able fp pkait his e n, and destroyed with ease the tfor tifications, willin which , Greeks thought themselves secure from attack. The brave noel Villasse, who was on the spot, pointed out to Colocotrert! e danger of their position if the Pacha should attack them, by'tiniing the mountain. This was, in fact, ibrahim's intention, as be has since declared. The Greek General yielded to the representations of the Colonel, and ordered a retreat during the night. It was in this manner that the Pacha, almost without tiring a shot, made himself master of the important defile of Leondari, in which lie left some troops to guard it ; he then pro ceeded to Tripolizza, where he stopped the progress of the Ire, which the Greets-had kindled, ned left there a garrison of AO men. which he thought sufficient for the Auk enemies whom he had to combat.

Mr. Salter was an excellent " Highland creature," he looked quite ferocious in 3fardock, and was Scotch in every thing but his English, `which was rather too much of the Birmingham pro em for one who wore a kilt. Some of the audience app eared to think the performer made too much of th e " Highland shentlemans, and hissed him accordingly ; but we thi n k very undeservedly.

To say truth, and drop all metaphor, Mr. Cooper is a pod actor—always respect able—sometimes excellent—and never inattentive. W e wish some of his brethren would condescend to imitate him in this latter particular.
