The Paris Papers of Wednesday contain further ac-1 ceutits of the military'prepatations on the frontiers of Spur,' in consequence of the disturbed and agitated condition of that country. It appears to be derided that the encamp trent of the troops shall take place in the vicinity of Per pignan. Ten battalions are assembled there. It will be styled the Camp of Station. Lieut.-General DALTON had arrived to take die command. Ile will have two other Generals of inferior rank under him. The officers con fleeted with the Commissariat and other departments were striving every day. These proceedings have produced a sleep sensation throughout Catalonia. The Ultras, who' farcied they had the whole power of the kingdom in their hands, are disconcerted at the prospect of the interference of the French ; for that these preparations forebode ano ther invasion, should the public peace be violated by any' of the discontented parties, there can be little doubt in the opinion of those who remember the steps by which the cordon sani fain. was changed into an army of observation, n►xt into an army Invasion, and finally into an army Ofliteupation. Beefy body in Spain is tired of the pre omit stale of things ; but those to whom the French have been the most serviceable, are now those whoappear to be their moot violent tannin. General Qu.ssAnAwho IDS lately beat appointed Captain lieneratof firritzsgtitrpm- , vinces, bit. given orders to the royal* volunteers in that district to surrender their arms anti uniforms. In some places these orders have been obeyed, but the Royalists of Tolosa and Vittoria are disposed to make resistance. 1111olisique Provinces, lolich include Biscay, Mara, and Oit*twos, enjoy ancient and peculiar privileges. Every year at the beginning of July, a General Assembly of Deputies from the communes is held for thirteen days to consider the want, and intereets of the provinces. At the late meeting of this assembly, the strongest feelings pre vailed against the royalist volunteer', and the firmest re solution to support the government in disarming them. The Deputies advised General QUISAiDA to apply to the French commanders in the neighbourhood for their aid in case of necessity. One of the Royalist Leaders had been elected by the commune of Tolosa a member of the last General Assembly, but when he made his appearance to take his seat, the Deputies [We with one accord, and drove him ignominiously away. An single in the floile, extracted from the Greek C'hron:ek, repeats the news of the defeat of RtbIICIIID PALMA, after he was compelled to Mee the siege of Missolonshi. It is added, that he was dead, but !be cause of his devh is not stated. There is a report that the Greelcs had gained another naval victory. 'Phis article from the Greek Chronicle is likewise in the Journal des Drbals as part of a very long letter from Zante, giving an We have been favoured with a view of private letters to the 15th February from the seat of war in India. By these we find that that gallant and persevering Officer, Sir ARCHIBALD CAMPBELL, had drawn Ms troops out ofßan goon, and put them forward on their march into the ene my's country. On the lath the *rap was formed eight miles from Rangoon, and enk one of the days immediately following the troops were. in rotion with Sir ARCHIBALD at their head. We regret to find that the Commander in-Chief was not able to employ the whole of his disposable force in this expedition, owing to the difficul ties and delays which were encountered in bringing up commissariat stores. The force actually in the field con sisted of about 1,400 Europeans, a regiment of Sepoys, 400 of the Governor-General's Body Guard, and 140 Horse Artillery, with twelve pieces of cannon. With this inade quate force, Sir ARCHIBALD CAMPBELL has undertaken again to plant his standard in the field of battle; and we have no doubt the same brilliant success which has hitherto marked the arms of this accoesplished commander, will attend the efforts of his gallant little band upon this occasion. Be sides the troops above mentioned, the second division, , about a thousand strong, under the command of Brigadier- General COTTON, was speedily to embark and proceed In boats up the river by Vain, Chan Zell, and Duroben. Seven hundred man were deputed to the capture of 8.01- 'lien, the only commercial town remaining iu the hands of the Burmese. A juncture was to be formed on the route I I with General Moaatsom, who was advancing stea dily from Chittagong with a veteran body pt troops. Prome is understood so be the point upon which the grand army wet to move; midi here it was expected that BuNrootw, who has lately received large reinforcements from Amerapoora, would endeavour to divine the advance of the British. Disheartened by the previous achievements of the same army, and by the defection of the natives, who were flock ing great numbers to place themselves under British protection, we can entertain no doubt as to the fate of the barbarian. CITY, FAIDAY ETZNIXO. The Consols opened this morning at 944, and during the day they exhibited much firmness. The business done in them certainly was notextensive, but the operations were generally for real it:vest ment, and the quantity of floating Stock in the market has In con sequence been rendered more limited. At one period of the day they reached 941 buyer', but this price was rather too high for the views of an eminent operator, who.has so managed his speculations in the British Funds for the present account, that he can place, according to rumour, in various quarters, on the26tlt August next, Stockat 90 to the extent of bars million, and at the same time he can demand the delivery of the same amount of Stock at the settlement, at lief, thereby endeavouring to limit the lowest price of the Consols during the current account to 90, and the highest to 90j. When the value of the British Funds at this period last year is contrasted with their present prices, the monied interest are satisfied that the speculative fancies of no individual can enhance or diminish the value of an Carticle like money, of which the supply in the market is monthly in. creasing, and at the same time feeling convinced that no real cause exists why the interest of capital should not be reduced in • ratio equal to its increase. There is a demand for the investment of money in the Funds on the part of the public, which may unhinge in a certain degree the expectations of the money dealer, whose out*ard distinguishing characteristic on the Royal Exchange la the posses. sion of what may be called a power of the mind to conceal the real objects which he means to accomplish. To prevent an advance, the great man, or somebody in the same interest, effected a heavy sale, and the closing price was reduced to 90iii, although at this price the market was exceedingly firm ; and the universal opinion is, that the gradually increasing cspitalof the empire toast, even duelnidthe pre sent Comma Account, cause a much more considerable Improvement a paltry pinto ad- On the Foreign Stock Exchange no great deal of business has been done. In the value of South American Securities little lm• provement can be noted. Greek Bowls are Ii per cent. dearer; for no observer of passing event, can for a moment imagine that Greece can be subjected either to Turkish or to Egyptian spoliat ion. In the Share market a great deal of business has been done in the Bolivar Copper Mining Association. Very important and tads- factory intelligence was received this morning by the Laward Island mail from this establisment. The chief miner, In his re port, states that the mine itself is an inexhaustible mountain of copper, and that the ore yields hOlb. of copper to each 100 lb.of ore. In such speculations, however, practice is preferable to theory, and the Bolivar Company has the first credit of making a shipment of the produce of American mineral labour to Great Britain, 00 tuna of copper having arrived at Puerto Cabello; and been* been loaded on board the Dart, for London, which ship would•eafi for lice destination about the 20th of Judy. The advance in the shares of the Association Is equal to U. pet share, and a iatther improvement is calculated on, wises tbe Immense productive powers of this mine are placed before the public. By an arrival from Mexico of the lialeJtme, intelligence squally favourable has been received front the managers of the Anglo Mexican and of the United Mexican Mining Amodations from each of which a remittance will be received before the close of this year. Three hundred themes's* pseuds are now beneficially, for Mexico and for Great Britain, employed in these two undertakings; and the great progress already made renders a return to the holders of the ,haven of these Associations certain, and in its extent beyond their most sanguine expectations. • A f r • • LOI6ON lINItiItBITT, • The sptve occupied by the sudden and late arrinill's our South American intelligence, compelled us to polipm the remarks we had prepared on the virulent finpatleileo with which our Norducts Illuminati bear the slightest opposition to their prejetted LO;IDON UNIVERSITY. We , quoted a speciutett of this from the Edinburgh Observer, in our paper of yesterday, which, full of rancour as its tone is throughout, is in exact accordance with the senti ments and spirit of the party. The language which is I held with regard to oar English Universities is unworthy of reproof. The writer appears to have culled his epithets from the rhetoric of the Grass Msrket, Edinburgh,which, in spite of its much-boasted morality, will yield at all times a most abundant tillage to all who are desirous of cultivating the vulgar abuse of their mother tongue. The writer with ... compares, . true 'Satoh modesty, the cost and value of his countrymen's education, with the result of our in stitutions in this pert of the world.

But INS is not to be scouted, that, as a people, we are ten times better eitreated than oar English brethren ; that as mere Universities, our pauper institutions are illustrated by a mass of official genius which England cannot eclipse, if she can equal ; that as nurseries 'sten, brave, elognent, discerning, these Universities can present Ewing examples of quite sea much power as have issued, in an equa period, from the proud catacombs of the South."

How fortunate that we' should be able to fire these twelve pounders in every direc- Lion into all. the dark recesses of Government ! How lucky that we can turn these Scotch ferrets into those boroughs which would otherwise be infested with capped and tasseled aristocrats, and by bloated or feline recluses! —We are told that, in spite of all the excitement which is afforded us to be emulative, and of au the reasons we have to be grateful—" Yet the new In stitution is to be poisoned by the gall of cloistered envy. And what is the excuse? This University is not to be foe tified forsooth by religious tests anti lectures." There is sometimes an ingenious way of so putting a case as to con ceal all the obliquity of its misrepresentation. But broad falsehood and vulgar distortion is good for nothing in any case. These imperious airs of haughty " Auld Reekie,' are not only foolishly absurd, but contemptibly out of place. Foremost in the rank of public instructors our public teachers of Christianity are justified in objecting to the erection of an University in the centre of the Metro-, polls which professes at the outset to take no account of religion as a part of public education. They have done no more, however—nor have the many who think with them—than express their opinion upon it, as mat ter of example, and to anticipate its consequences as matter of fact. Being no better than " leaden commenter. tors," they have, perhaps, not commented with that humility which became them, on a project which had been already decided upon in " the nurseries " of the brave, the i wise, and the discerning. They ought, it may be, to have consecrated it, at once, with their admiration ; but seeing as much, as unhappily they may have seen, of the spread of: infidelity' and the effrontery of atheism, it may surely be pardoned to them to lift up their voice on behalf of the altars of our national religion, and the reception of the Christian faith. To affirm that this London University is e still walking a roc° petweetion," is an extrava. gam .f !tertian . gist e* somewhat of a die; ea sed intellect, for * ~ it would be well if tit,: Z ak A'ris College would consider of some proper specific. However we may be familiarised to the contempt of moral education, so often and so plainly avowed by our Nat then, Luminaries, there still remained a ray of expectation that it would not be openly dlspountenanced when any system of public education called for its practical introduction. Still len could it be expected that a University in Loudon should solicit the national patronage which professed to ex clude all care or concern for the national . faith. We have already taken occasion to call the serious at tention of the English public to the notions disseminated by the Edinburgh !levies" on the subject of moral education. As it is intended to commit our population on this side the Tweed to the training of these new pastors, it is not amiss that we should bring it again under the consideration of our readers. It bids fair, we think, to change the face of things, whether for the better or not the reflective must judge. The following is their theory upon the subject of public education, and which no doubt is to be the improved system in the London University. " Nara! character, principles, or character in general, are not formed by precepts inculcated at school, or by observations matte, or experience collected in that narrow and artificial society,—but by the unconscious adoption of the maxims and practices that pre. rail among the free ogewti around us, and the spontaneous assi milation of manners and sentiments which results from this conta gion. The true measure of.motality, to which every man is pri. meetly and passively trained, is that of the age and country in which he lives, and the class and circle of society to which lie belongs.— He may improve upon this, or dege n e ra t e f rom i t , accor di ng to t h e strength of his reason, his passions, or temptations : but this is the fixed point from which these variations are calculated, and from which. in the great majority of cases, they never recede very widely. the society of a school may haves little share in the ad justment of this standard—but its discipline and training scarcely an. The habitual sentiments and habits of the boys, in their idle and unrestrained intercourse with each other, will no doubt form a pan of it, and it may even be affected by th e master ' s h a bi t an d conduct in private life, iu so far as these come under their observe. tion : but ail the intercourse that is regulated, all the training that It imposed, will go needy fur nothing as to the formation either of habits or opinions. —Ed.. Review for Jan. 182.5, p. 318. The rising generation are likely to improve mightily upon their old-fashioned forefathers under this precious system of thinking I We shall arrive at a very high stage of moral reforma.ion under this new University , discipline, which would leave the earliest propensities of our nature 'Without a curb, and suffer our worst passions to take their , way. hiss tuourtursoritttreey Maine this; that I I sulkiest essurity is to be ti er td tor the prevalence of i religion in an utter neglect of all the means of its culti- i elision! Those who know any thing of early education, know how very little a way the first impulsea of our nature can be safely indulged ; but to be taught that we may re nounce the aid of experience, and neglect the moral teach ing of. mature and mellowed wisdom—really it is a lesson at which the most adventuroutspirit may well be staggered. "Some few men, we are told, of bold and vigorous understanding, may found their morality on rellection,and regulate their conduct by principles which they have thoroughly weighed and digested into a system. This, however, can never happen in early lift—and by far the greater number never gire themselves any trouble about the matter ; but are guided, in th4r notions and their actions, by that practical standard, of the general opinion of their equals and their own experience of consequences,. to which we hare already referred. Men, in point oreact, always follow their inclinations, and yield to their paesieos. as Areas it is rift, or not plainly doneroes to do so ; the oak erui cheek being that lin r of consequences, that antici pation of the ultimate patsy of indulgence, which this standard au l Dreadful will be the state of morals in this kingdom should• we ever becomepractically familiar with this sort of doctrine. If these fundamental principles of education are true, the more we advance the more we shall he be wildered. Those who have hitherto taught us to bring up a Child in the way he should go, that when he -is old he may not depart from it, must hereafter be treated as visionary enthusiasts, and as teachers quite unfit to be come eandidates for a Professorship in the London University. " So much," add the Edinburgh Reviewers, after showing that we ought to be satisfied with whatever share of virtue the instincts of our nature and the collision of society, may chance to inspire—" So much for our acepticism as to the effect of mural training in Schools." 1 Is it any wonder, eller all this, that we find the Scotch founders of the Load's%Vaise4l(3 , digairA l ol4 l4l 'rtligi" fro their plan of intiilitt Instruction It %veld be ton much to pursue these Tivirotlerers from the high rolid of nature through all the mazes of their metaphysics. It is enough that we are upon our guard against those who are striving with so much seal to lead us into this "palpable obscure," and to tai ng back " the reign of Chaos and old Night." It is enough that we are content with our "capped and tasselled aristocrats," that we are satisfied with having given to the world, from our old English Universities, some of the wisest and best men which the world have ever seen. The Edinburgh Journalists may revile, end the Edinburgh Reviewers may arraign,our old English prejudices in favour of public instruction, moral and religious ; but conceiving it—as whether right or wrong we do conceive it—to be essential to our well-being here, and to our happiness hereaTter, we cannot look forward with much hope to the philosophical millenitint which may be preparing for even though, under the superintendence of the Scotch Economists, it should cost no more to its precursors than twelve pounds each Session. a_ - - —. .

VIEWS ON THE RHINE, IN BELGIUM AND HOLLAND, FIOM DRAWINGS BY CAPTAIN BATTY, Or THE GRENA- 1)IER GEARDS, F. K. M. There, perhaps, never was a period when publications dr that description in which Capt. Batty takes so decided a lead, supplied so much adequate excitement to ta lent, or when that talent was more liberally encouraged by The public. The number just published fully maintains the high reputation which the former have obtained. The views are well chosen, and the style of engraving bears the same impression Of genius which marks the original drawings; they have, besides, the great merit of accuracy in delineation, which must always stamp the chief value on views, of which the great interest must always arise from the fidelity with which they are represented. The view of the Rhine, in the present number, which shows the river as it enters the mountainous tract of country between An dernach and Bontay, is not only a strikingly fine scene in itself, but is executed with remarkable spirit. The Tow N HALL OF COLOGNE is also given with great correctness, and claims peculiar attention as a satnple, of which there are not many remaining, of the style of architecture adopt ed when the classic models of Greece and Rome first found their way into the north of Europe, and were grafted on the ruins of the ancient Gothic. Captain Batty has in fused all the spirit of his pencil into these delightful views; he is an artist who himself deserves to be ranked among the best patrons of art. THE ANATOME V/V.ANTE. In consequence of an observation at the close of our description of the shove extraordinary being, we have re ceived a letter from him in his native language, of which the following is a translation:— TO THE EDITOR OF THE BRITISH PRESS. SlR—liavang learned that, in an article of your Journal, theme. lives and conduct of the persons who brought tre to England are severely alluded to, it is my duty both to them and to the public to declare, that so far from experiencing any thing disagreeable either to having been conducted hither or at being exposed. I feel great satisfaction not only in the change of my situation, but also at the bounties with which I have been loaded by the individuals who protect me. Far front having " been brought from the tranquillity of my na tive village," I was wandering about France, and making but little by the exposure of my person, when 1 so fortunately met my pre sent protectors, whose liberality will shortly render me sufficiently independent, to enable me to return and live at my ease in my own country.

The National IntelligTorcr gives the following account of a present which is preparing at Washington for the Li berator Bolivar. It will be confided to the Colombian Mi nister, through the hands of General Lafayette, who will shortly visit that capital : This compliment will consist of two articles—a medal, I which was given by the city of Williamsburg, the ancient capital of Virginia, to the ancestor of the present donor, I the Lady of ‘Vashington, in commemoration of the cues and services of her illustrious husband, in the war of independence. The medal is of the purest gold, weigh ing upwards of an ounce, and has ern;,-raved, on one side, the genius of American liberty, represented by Wisdom I and Valour: legend " Virlate et Lahore .florent Respobli ow." City of Williamsburg. On the reverse is seen an armed warrior, who has thrown aside his shield, and is in the act of piercing with a lance a crowned lion, which rushes to destroy him. Above the warrior appears the American Constellation of Thirteen Slits, with the legend, " /a hoc sign() rinces." There is added to this memorial, a portrait of the great Chief 4 largest sized miniature, executed by the celebrated Field, in his best style, from a painting by Stuart. In the back part of the picture is enclosed a lock of the Patri 'arch's hair, of the same description as that now worn in the ring of Lafayette, and encircled by a wreath of the Roman laurel, the legend sitrply " Paler Patrice ; and the inscription—" Auctoris Libertatis Amcricante in Sep tentrione bane imagincm dat Filius ejus adoptatus.

The Icing of the Netherlands has appointed Mr. John Mildest to be Consul for that country at Alvarado and Vera Cruz. Letters were received yesterday by the Licn schooner front Alvarado of ltith 3une, and from Mexico of 4th June; they contain nothing political of much interest. Trade was extremely dull, and the exchange rising, at 50d. per dr. At Alvarado had arrived the Netherland vessel, Koning der Nederlanden, Capt. Landberg, from Rotterdam, on account of the Dutch Trading Company. A letter from Lima states, that the Liberator has opened his trenches at Bellavista, a small village within range of cannon-shot from the Castle of Callaa, and succeeded in planting a considerable number of heavy ordnance. This leaves little doubt that Rodil would be compelled to surrender. Letters from Barbadoes state that a public company was I in agitation, for the purpose of navigating through all the Islands, and to the coast of Colombia, &c. by steam. Letters from Barbadoes state, that they have now too much rain. The coming crops, however, look very pro mising. From St: Thomas's, we have letters of July. A report is current there that at Martinique a French fleet had arrived of twenty-two sail, amongst which were fourteen frigates, and had again set sail for a destination as yet unknown. Many reports of this sort have been floating in the West India Islands without any foundation. The letters by the Malta packet that arrived yesterday are of an old date, and consequently bring no political in telligence that we had not previously received. Extract of a letter dated, dated Malta, June 21 ;—" It is understood that Government have determined on abo ' fishing the custom-house, and placing the trade of Malta on the same free footing as that of Gibraltar. Various other changes which have hitherto pressed upon the com merce of the island are also about to be reduced."

The Samarang sloop of war had arrived from England the preceding day, bringing 300,000/. in specie, with despatches for the Governor. Their contents had not transpired ; but it was generally believed that Lord Charles Somerset was recalled. On the 23d of May a fire broke out in the stores of a Mr. De Smitz, and consumed the whole, with a vast stock of pitch and tar contained therein.

A new dock and breakwater" were immediately to be com menced, front a design given by Captain Knox. A sargo of convicts was daily expected at Table Bay, to begin the works. On the iStlt of May the Margaret arrived from England,w4ll accounts of the reduction of duties on foreign wines, which imagine had caused in England a total stag nation in the sale of Cape wines.

Theta had been no further actions with the Burmese. The latest accounts from Arracan state that the enemy bad all taken themselves off towards the Irrasvaddy.- f t was rumoured that overtures had reached our camp from the Arracanese, with intimations of a desire to put them- Iselves under our Government. It was not known whether the army would move by land, or by water to Arracan. If by land, April would be the earliest period of movement. Three Siam: se chiefs, from Manahan, had arrived at Ran. goon, and we-re received with military honours. They cam! with offers of assistance with 10,000 men, and ", p'etkte of as many more.
