' Thug are endless conjectures respecting their crime, which can hardly be of a political nature. Another report says that the result u l. r b e re c rui ting foe the army is so unsatisfactory that the Pope has - E.-waked to esrallish the Burgher guard. Another report says that nano of the DBllOll3 arrested for Carboaarism have escaped from r sit cpelbevesni in fart St. Leo.

An Ordinance lately published, prohibiting any . person from shooting within the distance of about • lon Niles from the gardens of the Vatican, in order, it is said, not_ to frighten the pheasants kept there, has been interpreted by the •• .t ins in manner which is undoubtedly not correct: there are at ituthe desperate wretches. both-strangers and natives, but certainly . reoielsetio would defile his hands with the most detestable of all crimes. The Ordinance has in truth no other object than to pre. vent the game which abounds in the Papal gardens. where it :las the refuge, from being driven away again, that his Holiness, •8144 hat no other tecreation, may amuse himself with ehoutiug oNite near to his residence. Satisfactory accounts are received from Romagna. Two persons hese been arrested at Faenza, one of whom is believed to be the - awarder's. of .the priest Brentani, and the otlicr of the inspector of te•iice Bellini. At R..rerna, a secretary of the police has been ar. vested, because he is suspected of haying been concerned in the fine committed there. Cardinal Ritarola has left that place, and gum' to Ovum his native city. Some think it is because, though he still bears the title of Cardinal Legate, and is be no means re. called from his post, he has in fact been discharged from the exer. • c"e et ithi functions, and the Government has no farther comniuni. anise with hies. It is said that before he departed he designed to tense a proelematioss to the legation, but was prevented by the new authorities. The first public act of the Commissioners of the Cri- Court, oa their arrival there, was to discharge the subaltern otter of gendarmes, who came these in the suite of Cardinal Ri a stole.

The Berrien Patna commenced pub/idling yesterday morning at five o'clock. IVEDNESDAY, Ocroßsit 18, 1826. The French Papers last received are more barren of intelligence than usual. The following is the only para graph of the slightest importance:— (From the Rtoik.l RUSSIA. ..--... ODESSA, Sr.PT.2S. The latest intelligence from the frontiers of Persia leaves no doubt that the recent irruptions into our territories were by the orders of Feth•Ali-Schah himself. It is said that he is at the bead i of the army which has entered Georgia. Many persons believe that this unexpected declaration of war was counselled by the Divan, as son as it bad received the news of the conspiracies which broke out at St. Petersburgh, and in the Army of the South ; for nearly all the Turks, in their simplicity, imagine that even now the Russian Empire is in the greatest disorder, and in a state of dissolution. The Persians will pay dearly for their treachery ; and those who have counselled this hazardous attempt will learn that the sons of Russia are by no means degenerated, but that the Em pire, which is stronger than e'er by their support, will know how to defect the perfidious designs of its enemies. By letters recently come from Constantinople (dated 20th) it is reported that Lord Cochrane bad written to the Slitsselim of Smyrna., demanding a contribution of 300,00 piastres, and threat. ening that, if he did not give them, the city should be burnt. Thii, however, Is a very doubtful pine of intelligence. The accounts of Fiench Finance, which appear for the last nine months to have become very favourable, have af forded a topic of opposition to those who are always in agarch of something to justify their complaints. IVe have so often explained the cause of the apparent prosperity of the commerce of our neighbours, that we might dispense ourselves from refuting the absurd conclusions drawn from these accounts, which include the last nine months, and I are not, therefore, a fair specimen even of the present state of French commerce. Not to speak of the invidious feeling displayed by those whe delight in drawing.motixes for despondence from the prosperity of our neighbours, it is certain is this case that the increase in the French re venue, in as far as it may be supposed to have arisen from causes prejudicial to this country, cannot, by any possibi lity, continue to advance at the same rate as it has lately. It will advance in a certain ratio, but not at the extra ordinary tate which the miscalculations of the French merchants with regard to the non-restrictive system of this country, and the consequent extent of their speculations, might induce superficial thinkers to imagine. We know tl.at the French silk trade has felt already how futile all its expectations were of rivalling us in our market; and we can confidently predict that the case will turn out to be the same in many other departments, making a sufficient allowance, in point of time, for the more tardy proceedings of their traders, and the consequent postponement of thei r misfortunes. But we are satisfied that France as well as England will make a steady progress in manufacturing and commercial industry ; we anticipate with pleasure her pro gress in the career which we have pointed out to her; and we do not feel inclined to think that her prosperity and ours cannot go on increaaing in a direction asi twt.deregpreae tithe! to each other without ever in the slightest interfering. • We have authority to give the following explanation as to the facts which have so recently excited the public attention in regard to the Colombian Dividends. M. f ADO received, by the last packets from Car. thagens, communications regarding this business, from THE BRITISH PRESS. *MOM holding the highest official situations in the Co lombian Administration. Under date of the 19th of May it was announced to M. HURTADO that the Government of Colombia expected to be able to send from Carthagena, during the months of June or July, the sum of 400,000 dollars, and in the month of December 1,000,000 dollars, or something more. Under date of the 19th June, M. Marano was told that the Colombian Government was indefatigable in its endeavours to support its credit with England. Under date of the 7th of July, M. HURTADO was in formed, in an official despatch from his Government, that it was expected that considerable funds would be placed in the hands of persons in London in the month of October, for the payment of the dividend. The general tenor of these communications was however not such, in the opinion of M. HURTADO, as could autho rise or justify him in announcing positively the payment of the dividends. M. HURTADO also received intelligence, in the way of general communications, which fully confirmed the cir cumstances detailed in the letter of the 19th of May, and which led him to believe that it was probable the period for the arrival of the first remittance was at hand ; and in consequence of that opinion he decided upon giving direc tions for an insurance to be effected. _ M. llca•revo had not -received any orders from his Go vernment to open a policy oc insurance, but he conceived that such a measure was dictated by the probability of die remittances being made, end of the necessity there was of guarding against every possible danger that could be ap prehended in their passage to this country. The above statement puts the public in possession of every fact known to M. HunrADo, as connected with the Colombian dividend. CITV, TUESDAY EVENING. The threatened combination of the leading capitalists of Europe to produce a rise in the Funds would appear likely to be realized, Consols having reached 81 for money, and 811 for the Account. In the course of the day they even exceeded this price; but it was only u the market was affected between buyers and tellers. The Bears were very active, or at least those who are apparently such, for it is difficult, in this mart of manoeuvre, to know exactly %hat a man is by what he pretends to be; their exertions, however, whether real or feigned, produced no effect. Exchequer Bills and India Bonds are both more in request to-day, from the increased quantity of money in the market by the payment of the Dividends: the former are at 18,19, and the latter 34 to 34. In the Foreign Market, Mexican Bonds have again de clined to 642 65, in consequence of the Dears having pro duced an effect by asserting that the dollars which have arrived for the payment of the Dividend have been ob 'seined for bills in Mexico, which have been returned from this country dishonoured. It is useless to contend with these reports, or the absurd one of a Loan being about to be raised in Paris. If the Bondholders are not satisfied that being in the hands of the Messrs. BARING is their best security, there is nothing that can be said here that can give them conlidence. In Colombian there has been a still further depression to-day, they having been done as low as 37 ; at the close of the market, however, they had rallied, and may be quoted at 3SI to 1. The policy of in surance ordered to be effected by M. HuRTADO, and which has caused so much comment, is all but completed. The Alliance took another 21h0001. to-day, making their whole amount 50,000 L, and-thus ends this transaction, which it has bussimerted would never be concluded. M.llll IiTAD o never contemplated that in effecting the precautionary measure I or an insurance such an effect could have been produced upon these securities. All be considered was, that, from the despatches lie had received, the resources of his country would be coming available about this period, and therefore it would be prudent to eltect the insurance ; but he did not consider that he would be juetifi, d in promulgating any notice to the Bondholders in the absence of more direct in formation. (,hilian, of course, have felt the cooling effect of th e reports of the day, and have retrograded to 39. Greek are something better, at 1 t 1 ; and it is asserted that there is reason to apprehend the struggle between them and the Turks will not be of much longer duration. Mr. CAN NING, it is said, has succeeded in bringing the French Go vernment to join with England in the reprobation of this contest; and report adds—but this may be premature — that despatches have been Rent to Constantinople, express ing the positive determination of the other Powers of Europe not to allow any further procrastination of a war which is the disgrace of those opposing the sacred cause of liberty in Greece. Spanish are at 106, but nothing doing. In Shares, Del Monies ere at 10 to 20 pm.; Brazilians 13 pm. ; and Colombian Mine 6,1 to 0, per share.. In Mincing-lane there has been a public sale of Mauri tius Sugars, which realized nearly vs. more than the same samples of Plantation; the lots, however, were very small ones, which may account far t hei difference. Rums are rather more in request, at somewhat advancing prices, but the market is generally in any thing but a lively state. Exchanges are a little higher to-day, in consequence of there being rather a scarcity of money, and more bills coming into operation. Don Sebastian (:amacho, Envoy Extraordinary to the Court of St. James's, arrived at Jalapa, in Mexico, on his way to England, cn the 4th August, accompanied by the individuals attached to the Embassy. The Chamber of Finance at Copenhagen has issued an ordonnanee. by which it is permitted to the inhabitants to pay a portion of their taxes for the ensuing year in grain.

Business has not been quite so brisk during the week as it was some time before, but the quantity of goods which the manufacturers are preparing indicates that some con siderable improvement .is confidently expected. There is, [ however, no advance as yet in the prices of weaving.— Glasgow Chronicle. A very curious instance of the extravagant pitch that party spirit is sometimes carried to has just occurred at the Swan Hotel, iVells, in Somersetsbire. The head waiter of that establishment having declined to join his master in the line of politic', which, at the late election, he thought proper to espouse, was discarded from his place ; but circumstances since inducing the landlord himself to quit the house, his successor has re-engaged the banished menial, whose re-ippolwtment to his former situation is actually adrertisato be celebrated by an assembly of his friends, at the Tali or the Hotel to which he so triumph antly returns. ..

PARIS, Ocr. 14.—Mr. Canning's departure from this capital is understood to be fixed for the 20th inst. ;.as the new Parliament will open on the lath November, this is probable. From the manner in which he has conducted himself, both in public and private, very little can be gleaned of the real object of his visit. He is always, from. his appearance, no more than an English Minister on leave of absence ; the same reserve, the same simplicity, and the same modesty, are observable both in the public and pri rate parties which he has visited, which have, however, been but few, as this is the dull season. Ile sees and con verses with men of all parties, and, though he speaks French tolerably well, appears always more willing to listen than to dictate. At the grand dinners to which he has been invited, the same modesty has prevailed ; he has always left the seat of honour to those above him only in rank, parti cularly at the diplomatic dinner of M. de Villele, where he took the ninth seat. Ile has never worn the costume of an English Minister, except on the day he was presented to the King, by whom he was received very graciously. The question whether he should dine with his Majesty has caused gr. at debates amongst the court sticklers for eti quette, and has been at length► finally negatived. The thraldom of an etiquette which is observed in no other Eu ropean Court carried the day, there having been but two instances of its being broken through since the Revolution. It has been remarked, also, that among all the political di plomatic dinners the Prince Poem) di forgo has not given one. Hitherto M. de Villele and Mr. Canning have had hut three or four meetings, except at public parties. The continuance of the peace of Europe, appears to be the o.,reat watch-ward. The numerous couriers that Mr. C. receives and despatches from Paris is easily explained, if, as is ge nerally rumoured, he has reserved to himself, during his stay in Paris, the transaction of the principal business if his department and Ilia political correspondence. The va rious conjectures which are abroad respecting a triple alli ance between England, France, and Austria, appear to be entirely without foundation. It is reported that an under standing has en entered into that Russia shall enter Mol davia and Wallachia if her demands arc not complied with, but this occupation is not to he considered ato ! ! The Right Hon. Sir J. Beckett, Judge-Advocate-Ge neral, transacted business yesterday afternoon with the Duke of York, at the residence of the Duke of Rutland, in Arlington-street. Sir H.

His Royal Highness the Duke of Gloucester is expoctell at Creme, on a visit to the Earl of Coventry, about the beginning of next month. -Prince Polignac, the French Ambassador, transacted business yesterday afternoon at the Office of the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. The Spanish Minister also transacted business at the above Office yesterday af ternoon. --------- The Earl of Morley transacted business yesterday at the Secretary of State's Office for Colonial Affairs. Ocspateltes were sent off yesterday from the Foreign Office to Sir William A'Court, our Minister at Lisbon, and to the Right Hon. Frederick Lamb, our Ambassador at Madrid. _ _ _ iVe regret to state that Sir Tyrwhitt Jones met with a serious accident on Thursday last, whilst shooting upon one of his manors near Shrewsbury, a spent shot having entered his right eye, the sight of which, his medical, at tendants are fearful, will be lost ; but we are happy to add that Sir Tyrwhitt is in other respects as well as can be hoped. It is not only once that ihe Archbishop of Paris has gone to the house of M. Talma (as stated by several of the Journals); but his Grace has gone three times a day ever since the 10th of this month, accompanied every time by one of his Grand Vicars, and on one occasion by the Cure of Notre-Dame. But notwithstanding these pressing in stances on the part of the Archbishop, yet, on M. Talma's knowing the nature and object of his visits, he declined seeing him, and the Archbishop was obliged on each occa sion to retire. In the neighbourhood of the Stock Exchange, the chief subject of conversation is an amateur performance, on Monday night, at Sadler's Wells, by a detachment of the youths from the Stock Exchange. We had not the ben: fit of witnessing this performance, but it is said to have stood unrivalled. Richard the Third was the play, and the house was convulsed with laughter. The dreadful tyrant gave some new and most amusing readings in the purest Attic. Before the close of the performance, the gods be came clamorous, and insisted on receiving back their mo ney. The Manager, however, wu well paid by subscrip don. " We mentioned last week," says the Essex llierce,y, " the report that prevailed through Rochford and l)engie Hundreds, of the probability of another election at Mal don, in the prospect of Mr. Winn's vacating, and, though we did not attribute much credit to it, we have endeavoured to trace its origin. Mr. W. has recently, as our readers know, shown himself at Southend, and has visited the free /nett of rhe borough residing in those parts withierneap penance of canvassing. Within this last week, circular letters have been sent to the different freemen who voted for him at the late election, assuring thew of his desire to = te their interests individually, and those of the gh at large. These letters, issuing from some litho graphic press, are dated a month or two back, which rather excites suspicion that something is on the eve of occurring, which induces the Hon. Gentleman to resume a work which had been laid aside. This delay; however, might have arisen from the impossibility of franking so many letters at once. Certain it is, that some of this gentleman's sup porters have been canvassing for him in different places, but whether their activity has been excited by the mere rumour does not transpire. There was a report prevalent at Chelmsford on Friday last, that, in the event of a va cancy, Mr. Denman was ready to start in the Orange inte rest. The great command which this gentleman has over' the London interest, which produces nearly 600 voters, and which, notwithstanding the active canvass of Mr. %Finn, and the unaccountable neglect of Mr. Leonard and his friends, supplied the latter gentleman in the late elec tion with 1259 plumpersi, besides split votes, as well as his own independent and leng-tried services for the good of the public, together with the great and increasing strength of the Orange interest in the county, would give to this at tempt a very great probability of success against whatever other candidate might appear on the stage.

CUMBERLAND'S BRITISH THEATRE. It has been matter of dispute whether or not the p resent is a theatrical age; and the difficulties under whi c h the patent, and indeed other Theatres, have laboured, h as b ees adduced as an argument in proof that there is n ot at this moment a disposition on the part of the publi c f or the amusement in question. It is impossible to deny the fa c t of these difficulties, but in our humble judgment they p re , seed from other causes than the want of public taste in respect to dramatic representation. The overgrown dimes, sions of our Theatres ; the number of individuals that are consequently necessary to conduct them (independ ent those who appear on tire board.); the enormous salaries of those who star a brilliant career ; and last, though not leant, the expenses attendant upon the production of pieces, tkp merits of which alone consist in the expense which ilk, vished upon them s are causes quite sufficient to pred ate elects noticed, alt hough there should be no such thine's, empty benches. There has also been another circumstahee assigned as a proof of the decay of interest in the public mind in this respect, from the few person s o f ran k and cha racter that have of late contributed to th e d ramatic liters. tore of their country. This may, howev er , a l so be tracedto another cause. It has been too muc h t h e fashioryofin late, for particular actors to sit in jud gment upon the coin. position submitted for representation, and they h ave p . sinned the power of taking or rejecting the principal char racier, in proportion as the interest of the piece centred or nat in it and them. Such conduct would deter the most hardy from submitting their - talents to the workl'in the shape of a play. Men of exalted rank and talent cannot submit to such a humiliating degradation ; and there fore, so long, as the practice rids's, there will be a &setts of apparent talent, as regards dramatic literature. Ponnty may induce some few to submit theielabours to the world, but the light of dramatic intellect which has shone f or ages among the talented individuate in the higher ranks of society is no longer allowed to shed its cheering rap the conduct of actors, committees, and mana gers (f or the latter have also lent their 'id), having been of such a cha racter as to drive it from she stage. illiatever we have, hail:ever, to regret in this respect, is compensated fur, as far snit can be, by the m anner i n w hi ch the' works of those who.have gone before ar e h an d e d d own to us, every year bearing some new testimony o f t h e admi ration which is felt of the noble legaci es th e y h ave l eft their country. In the multiplicity of th ese prothic t i ons there is an edition of the 11mitisls7healre, which we have selected for this notice, which is particularly illustrative of the improvement which has taken place in this respect, and also of the increasing interest excited as to the standard plays. In this edition eadi play is preceded by some ie. marks, evidently coming front the pen of an individual well versed in the dramatic history of his country. The play before us (The Schen! far Seoritla! ), which forms the 95tli number of the work, and the fifth of the 14th voluine, may be taken as an example of the manner in which the whole work is got up, both as regards the preparatory oh servatimis, as well as the mere mechanical arrangements of the printer. After tracing the progress of genteel comedy in the old and the new school, the coalmen tAtor proceeds to discuss the merit of the characters introduced in the Comedy before us, and we give the following extract of his sum ming up, as to certainly the best of Shheridsn's plays :—' It is impossible to do justice to the wit, the elegance, the perfect finish of the dialogue. Hypercriticism itself is disarmed when renting it; and its only fault, if fault it can be, is, that it is too prods& of wit,—toe uniformly sparkling ; the 'mind is kept in conthitibl excitation by an uninterriptud series of pointed tea. teases. It has been said that to Wyche-7117 Sheridan is indebted for his sty le. We should rather decide that Cougreve is his remeti, . for the " ialellectitai giadiandre." that .lehnsnn speaks uf, in his criticism upon Cougeeve, axe *yucewitngly at work in the'dialegue of Sheridan. li'yeherley does not ride his Pegasus with SO totted a rein as SirJohaVanbrugh. who, according to Pope, nose ed thought he often dial grace yet Le is neither so rerreeti so wi ty as Cungreve ;he his infitnig humour. of which Con e has scarcely a particle; and here ninekdan tastes superior to el; for, with the utmost abundance .)fit, liespostested an ample of humour, as his farms, and Many peetioulorly his elterse4r of Aeres, which is, a creation of the Purest humanist bear thedheittl) testimony. Lord &MSS, is an absurd strain of purhanied cant, falls foul of l'ongreve fee his hinak characters; and where,, even in this respect, taints the mighty difference between Convey, and Sheridan ? We would desire nu better sport then nisei hie Eat& ship loose among the ladies of thiseandalottalonege t tend let Mrs. Candour undertake his defgnee.,An wathlw Who snakes Name his study must draw his characteew acestdlng totter unity/lag entodard. It was said good-naturedly of Cumbetiatsdlno mean name in des. matic literature) that he saes— " A flattering painter, who made it his. are To draw men as they om,V to ke—aoraa they Wer." These bean ideals of human excillente are as dull as they see oat of nature. Miss Prue is a chiracter den times moreMatund, end lilts times more entertaining, than Min Posne/o. When a work bids defiance to censure—when it dila/yeti no vulnerable pan for detractors to seize hold upon—the most effectual way to deprive an author of his well-earned Mine altogether is attribute it to attoeher. And one Doom; Ifralki IN —who seems to be a sad stupid person—in a romance, which he calls the life of Sheridan, tells a story about a young lady, who died of a conseeel". Lion in Thaines.street .pper Or Lower Thames-street, he deed et say which, but that in fo rmations is reserved for theorised edits - SO M . a young lady, we say, having written a considerable portioned " The school for Scandal." It the Docter is throwies out a lore tor a controversy to raise up the deed weight of his book, let tas of his own fratenniy supply the lever! With the name of Sheridan we lonely linger ; it is a name that does honour to the eloquence, the patriotism, aad the literature of the British Nation. Asa dramatic writer, how few are worthy to compare with him—as au orator, he may proudly vie with the insert illustrious examples of antiquity—and of his patriotism, what nobler evidence can be required. than that, single and alone, in the free of sneering friends and political fees, 1w forgot the nanow die. tinctions of patty in the danger of his country! His outset in life how brilliant and distiegMatierl-! Successful as an author be. yond all precedent—idolized by the pahlic—caressed by the great— honoured with the friendship of Royalty itahlf—what wonder that he should turn giddy on the proud eminence upon which Fortune had placed him ! If, therefore, he lost his prudence, he maintained his principles; and as prosperity had not hardened- his heart, so could not adversity corrupt ft. His descent was marked by none of these meannesses common to interior minds. In the chequered course of hi. eventful life, there was nothing like political trimming or com promise—no truckling to power—no sacrifice to populanty. He loved Lantlaod for England's sake. With his foibles, as they marred not the integrity or his public character, the world has little to do; he was himself their expiator, in the severity of his sufferings. It is one of the base privilet.m of degenerate minds to triumph over the prostration of Genius : An idiot laugh the welkin rends As Genius thus degraded lies— . Till pitying Heaven the veitextends That shrouds the Poet's ardent eyes." The observations conclude with a critical analysik of the various Sir Peter and Lady l'eazlei that have frtnn trine to time displayed their talents before the public. There is also given a bill of the original cast, as well as of each theatre in IW4G. The costume of each chirseter It also pointed out in every particular, Ind , the esitrintd 'cistern** locally attended to, as well as te position •of theehapacter on the stage, and the various alterations of situation point ed out. From this outline it will be seen, that both as re grids the comments - to the general evader, as erellits lb* minute instructions for the theatrical Moodier, this edition is replete with information. It is of a pocket size, with a large type, on excellent paper, and the graphic part of the weak is exceedingly well got up, every number haviog.a wood-cut from a design by Cruickshank, and each volume a portrait of some celebrated pettisrmee by Wagemsn. The price of each number is sixpence, there being a sir ' perior edition, with proof impressions of the plates, at one I shilling. Upon 'the whole, this edition must be considered as a valuable addenda to the theatrical part of any library ; and Mr. Cumberland is entitled to his full share of patronage for the manner in which he has placed it befose the public. _ . The star system, of which so' much has been aid at isle, is not so recently established as some of our cool have stated. iVe understand that J. Kemble, Mrs. and other eminent persons of the profession, made nightly engagunents nearly half a century ago. The new opera of " Peveril of the Peak, , ' which was to have been brought out this evening at Covent-garden, has been postponed until Saturday, in consequence of the indisposition of Miss Paton, who was to play aprincipal part. • In case Miss Paton's illness should continue, ha part will be snstained by Miss Cawse, who has undertaken it at a ,hart notice, to prevent any disappointment to the public by another postponement. A strict search has been made among the tirintsellers of Paris, for several days past, after portraits of the Duke of Iteichstadt.
