The Archbishop of Seville has Issued an order to the ecclesiastics and all persons connected with the (Attach in his jurisdiction, re quiring them to oppose their influence to the circulation of seditious writings, and the promulgation of revolutionary doctrines, and to lose as time in making known to the police the names of those in are employed in distributing the former, or are known to be attached to the latter. We have received the Sio,Tnpnre Chronicles to the 11111 •A`”, ard subjoin some extracts : From the Sing Tore C:rauirk of April 27.1 ItENCOOLEN. • The Dutch ship Mary, which arrived tromßencoolen last week, has through away a number of the assistants and followers belonging• to the Ilorourable Company's establishment. The Mary, we hear, MS taken up for the purposeof conveying to this settlement such of the Collies with their families as wish to leave the place. These people ore a small remnant of a party of Madagascar slaves which where imported into Bence°len by the llottonrable Company about tdrct3 years ago ; they were manumitted in the year 1818, but few of them appreciated the hen Aits of emancipation, and accordingly cemidcrable number of them preferred remaining in the service 0 the Government on the terms on which they had been employed ei:ring the period of their slavery. On the cession of Port Marl. I...trough to the Dutch, many of them were pensioned by the Cont rary, and it was to afford these an opportunity of transporting t ert•elves to a British Settlement that this ship IV at chartered by tte Comany's Agent. The Dutch Authatities at Fort Marlborough, appesrs, would not permit their embarkation, considering them light of public property. This manure of the Dutch Rest. ie..: is. in our (pinion, in direct opposition to the terms of the t - evy, the 11th arti,le of which provides," That ail the inhabitants tee territories hereby ceded shall enjoy for a period of six years, from the date of the ratification of the present trenty, the I betty of disposing as they please of their property, and of trans. porting themselves without let or hindran-e to any country to which they may wish to remove." A reference has been male to the Java Government on the subject. They will to doubt act justly, aril curb the spirit of unauthorized interference which has manifested r.sell in the conduct of their reatesentatices at Bencoolen. From the Sid;vorr Chi tinkle of April 13.1 • SIAM. Tie junk which the King of Siam wads annually to China with presents for the Emperor has this year been lost off the bar of Siam. Captain Burney was at Bankok, and had succeeded in ob taining the release of 570 of the Burman prisoners taken front 31er. gut aed Tavoi. These had been s,nt across the country to Penang. PA DA NO. G . accounts from this place we learn that the general trade of the r/r1 i• decreasing, and that foreign trade in particular is much de rev.- 1. The regulation prohibiting the transportation of silt into tre il.terior had had the efrect of inducing the natives to find other rtane.els of supply. Raw cotton from the continent of India had suers been an article of imrortar.ce, and the natives hail derived that supply from Padang, but the Dutch Government had imposed re cently a prohibitory duty of 2.1 rupees per picul on this article, And this unexpected interference of Government with the established regulations had tended Dutch to the &crease of trade. Some years ago t .e quautil of gold collected at Padang amounted to 12.e0u tads annusily ; at present it does not exceed 2,000. The principal a - d almost only export now is ccffee. POSTIANA 11. (►.n accounts from Pontianah state that the foreign trade was r , r dull, and produce scarce, in cocsequence of the disturbances c:•cadaned by the war with the Chicesc miners. COCHIN CIIINA. A Cochin China ship and two junk% arrived here from the capi tal ct that country on the 19th ult. These vessels belong to the king. and arc ostensibly despatched on the same errand as the ves pt•l+ which arrived here last year. Fiom this we presume that the vot lee of last season has proved a favourable one to his N 1 njcsty. %Ye learn dist the °meet-hellcat of Cochin Chinabavelidely frrrreared th•ir navy. and that now they possess eleven sail of square-rigged setse:s. fully equipped. [From the Singapore Chronicle of May 111 ISIACAO. Accounts have been received from this port of a riot having taken place among the Chinese inhabitants. In the month of February tr Chinese had been murdered, and a Coffre native of (Ora was tried and condemned to be executed for the crime. The Chinese rabble bos ever believed that the prisoner was not guilty, and they insisted that the murder had been committed by the master of the Collie, a I"ortuguese, wbo delivered him up, anti who had been very active in the affitir. On the day of the execution a mob collected round the house, in which were assembled the Portuguese Authorities and some Mandarins of rank sent by the Viceroy of Canton to rasa gen- Settee of death. The military, however, were called out, and the aertence put in execution. The mob, consisting entirely of Chi rese. hail now assembled in vast numbers, armed with ►pears, with which they charged the P.lrtuguese troops, put them to Night, and °bilged them to re ire for protection into a small fort situated on a hid above the town. They seized the chief .Mandarin, insulted and beat him severely. They next proceeded to the houses of two Portuguese who were obi taious to them, and pulled them down, and it was only with the assistance of a band of Calle slaves that order was at length restored. Many of the soldiers were severely 'roundel, anti two of the officers desperately. SINGAPORE.

On the toad to New Hulse aversi tine properties have been perfectly cleared of wool, mi seady laid out foe the construction of country houses. JAVA. We have received the Decrees of the Jan Government, re+Tee^ ng the abolition of the ask monopoly, and the'opesing of the ports to foreign vends. It appears that these liberal resolutions wen among the last acts of the Baron Vander Capellan's Government. BORNEO PROPEL Sirce our list number a- Prohn has come in from this quarter, and the reports of the country are very favourable. The present Rajah, who was elected by the people after his predecessor had been beheaded, is represented as being the best King that has ever sat on the throne of Borneo. and is praised highly for his love of justice. He speaks the Chinese language fluently, and decides all disputes between his Chinese and Borman subjects In person. Severa l Praline ate expected to arrive shortly from Borneo; and his Majesty was preparing vessels for the annual mission to Singapore. CHINESE JUNKS. Fmm the Singapore Chronicle of May 4.] Since the formation of our settlement, its harbour has not been so crowded, from Bankok and Imoy, as since the commencement of the present year. There are at this present time upwards of 70 sail in the roads, all engaged in discharging or taking In cargoes. We have also three vessels foe the first time from the Province of Quing Tong. The number of emigrants which have arrived by them and other vessels, exceeds considerably that of former seasons. They are. from quang Tong, 4,418; and from Tobias. 1,098. — About 3.1.00 of the whole number are ascertained to have distria holed themselves in Ithio std the neighbouring parts; and those who have remained at Singapore are chiefly agriculturists. The Chinese merchants are showing great spirit in the extension of the commerce of this settlement with China. Several projects are on foot for tho improvement of the Colony, the most important of which, in a commercial point of view, is the erection of light-houses, two of which have been already authorised by the Supreme Government. A lottery for the improvement of the towts and river has also been sanctioned ; and the licences granted to individuals for clearing and cultivating ground, and for building in the town, are confirmed. The amount of quit rcnt payable to the Government will be ex tremely moderate. We have also commenced a new branch of trade with the 31su rltius. a vessel with beech de mer having arrived; and we may ex pect that a regular and profitable intercourse will be established between the Colonies. In another part of our paper will be found an account of a meeting at Manchester, on the subject of the Corn Laws and retrenchment. The questions connected with these become at the present moment subjects of the deepest importance to the welfare of the country ; and every addi tional argument which may be suggested to his Majesty's Ministers, in whatever quarter it may originate, must be hailed by them as an additional weapon put into their hands for averting the worst dangers which ever menaced a country. In yielding, as we have done, to reasons of expediency as preventing Ministers from going on too rapidly in the career of reformation, it has never been our intention for a moment to defend the slightest iota of ex pense which it might be possible to avoid without entail ing serious evils upon the community. Though we admit the propriety of conducting the business of re trenchment by degrees, and with caution, none can be more sensible than we are of the danger which may be anticipated from an extravagant method of con ducting the business of the nation ; none can be more alive than we arc to the necessity of abridging the expense of collecting the revenue ; none can feel more strongly than we do the imperative nature of that demand which has been made on his Majesty's Government, to diminish, as much as may be, the weight of the burdens which a war of unexampled expense and exertion has rendered it neceleary to impose upon the-generations that are to follow us. It would be short-sigtted indeed to imagine that the operation of time would remedy an evil, like this. A sud den ebullition of commercial enterprise ma!) be remedied by time, which will soon reduce the state of men's minds to their natural temperature; but a weight of taxation press ing incessantly on a people; a set of individuals like the creditors of the nation, with whom the nation is bound, by every obligation of honour and interest, to preserve its good faith unsullied and unimpenched ; a constant reduc tion thus continually made from the rewards of every man's labour, in order to support these whose property enables them to reap the fruits of the toil of others ;—such circum stances as these in continual operation must, in the end have the effect of discouraging industry amongst us—of reducing our population to the scale of Continental nations— and of eventually pineging us into a depth of national dis tress, from which nothing will ever be able to deliver us, What means are to be used to avert evils cf such mag nitude it is impossible for its to say : sonte means must be used, and it is vain for ono interest to dispute with another, as it has been usual for some time to do. All interests are equally concerned in the questions which are now agitated; and if any one of these interests refuses to make its portion of the sacrifices required, they must all perish together. CITY, SATURDAY EVENING. This having, been a bolyday at the Bank, there has been but liitLi doing in the Funds ; even time bargains have not been of that character to affect the quotation for the open ing on Monday, the price being 81; 82. There was* more abundant supply of Exchequer Hills than for some days past, which fully rcaliz_•d the quotation of yesterday, being 25 V; premium. India Bonds arc one shilling lower, at 42. In the Fin% ign Market Mexican Bonds have advanced to 63;,and for 15th \oven)Ler to Gt,the various reports of a new Loan, amended Loan, and so forth, beginning to be disregarded by the public. Colombian Bonds show an advance to 39, at which price there were many purchases made. In the absence of the Jamaica Packet every thing of caurse is conjecture, but the opinion at present is decidedly in favour gicA rise. M. Micro:LENA. the near, Minister of Finance from Colombia to this country, has arrived at Curacoa on his way to England. It is not true, as stated, that he is to supersede M. Win' ADO. That gentleman remains in England to conduct the affairs diplo matique, M. MICHELEN A taking charge of the finance deparunent only. The report is, that the latter gentleman has powers f.r raking a new Loan. Such circumstance, however, would appear to be doubtful, for it can only be done by the authority of an act of the Legislature, and none such is known to have passed that body. Chilian Bonds have retrograded to fiG t, and Buenos Ayres to 62y. Greek ar.d Spanish are stationary at last quotations. In Shares there is no alteration.

Dov Le, Fnanav Eve xt NO.—Yesterday morning it was expected the Hon. George Canning would atrive ; but al though, a vessel awaited him both at Calais and Boulogne, he did not reach either place. ate of the packets brought over a messenger from him, who immediately proceeded to Wapner Castle, where Lord Liverpool is at present resid ing, and returned in the evening to set off for London by the mail with despatches. To-day the packet, by which he was expected, brought intelligence that a messenger had arrived in the morning at Boulogne, giving orders to have dinner provided for himseif and suite at seven o'clock this evening; he will consequently be here to-morrow. 'T he extraordinary manner in which ;Newby, Huntley, Williamson, and others, came down from London to take possession of the 0:d llall and Thorneliffe Hall estates, has lately exciatl pretty much of the public attention.

Tice cause of alarm has not transpired, and, in the mean time, the circumstance has given rise to various rumours. Awing other surmises, it is stated that tli:s precaution was adopreA in consequence of the public dinner given at Leith.. This, however, we do not coesider deserViog of credit. What possible alarm could that Meeting excite?

The supposition is too abburt: to be for a moment cutertained PORTSMOUTH, 0cz.28. On Tema . ay the Sybille frigate, Capt. Sir Simnel /. Peelle% Bart. and C.B. arrived from Malta in twenty-six days, leaving there the Romney and Chanticleer. The Talbot sailed on the 28th ult. to join Sir Harry Neale at Smyrna. The Revenge, Rose, Medina, Pm-titian, and Gannet, were in the Archipelago ; the Cambrian, Seringa patam, and . Ariadoe, at Corfu. Lord Cochrane, who had been some time cruising off Malta in the Unicorn schooner, under the name of Mr. Campbell Blair,, holding a written communication only with a Mr. Stevenson, at the island, had taken his departure for Marseilles. The Sybille, !pre vious to her arrival at Malta, was at Alexandria, on the coast of Syria, and at the loniin Islands, where she learnt that things between the Turks and Greeks were much in the same state as they had been for some time. The Medina had captured u pirate brig, and sent her into Malta. The Sybille passed Gibraltar on the 12th inst. She came into harbour this afternoon, to be paid off, and kept in a state of readiness to be recotnmiesioned. A letter from Santa Cruz, dated September 27, states the arrival of the Heron, 18, Capt. Tait, on her passage to Rio Janei•o—forty-two days from Spithead, and twenty-three from off Madeira. The Eapiegle, 18, Capt. Yates,larrived at Jamaica, from England, and sailed on the 2Stl July, with the Mail for Vera Cruz. The Alacrity, 10, Capt. Ceo. James Hope Johnstone, is taking on board specie, of the new coinage, at the Tower, for Gibraltar and Malta. In announcing the arrival of his Majesty's ship Sytilk, Capt. Sir S. J. Pechell, Bart front the Mediterranean, we have satisfaction in alluding so the big% perfection itreenicit naval gunnery ha been carried, bath in that ship and in the Naiad, Captain the Hon. R. C. Spencer, lately from the same station, between whiclitwo vesaeh there has al ways existed an honourable rivalry, highly creditable to the officers of both ships; and it is with great satisfaction we learn, that during the trials of skill which they have had together, under very competent judges, no artillery on shore could exceed their accuracy and precision. It must be gratifying to the lovers of our country and our country's bulwarks to know, that in these " piping times of peace' zealous and scientific officers are found, who, during a I short period of command, and with scarcely the possibility of ever bringing their superior gunnery into play against an enemy, or of its ever heing known beyond the limits of their ships, spare no pains nor exertions to excel in a de partment of such vital importance, which has hitherto been much neglected, and which still appears to many in command not worth the trouble, if it could be attained, during a triennial service. Probably we may be permitted I to recommend young carers to make themselves familiar with the detail of discipline and internal economy, as well as gunnery, of these two well-organised ships, which we can safely say, from every thing that has come to our knowledge, have never been exceeded in the best periods of our naval annals, and this too has been attained by a system of leniency and indulgence to the ran, which is usually considered incompatible with the high condition in which those best acquainted with their order allow them to excel. On Tuesday the schooner George Canning, and smack Peace, from Denis and Malaga, arrived at the Motherbank, with fruit for Southampton. Yesterday afternoon, the Pelican, 18, Captain HAL. Chu. Irby, sailed for die Mediterranean station. On Wednesday the Vigilant, Lieutenant Meredith, re- turned to Plymouth ; on Thursday the Arrow, Lieutenant Brooking, sailed on a cruise. At Spitheal—Blonde, Py ramus and Galatea. In the Harbour—Victory, Asia, Melville, Spartiate, Diamond, Sybille,llattmouth, Arachne, Clieker, and Cracker. The Russian ships of war Moller, Captain Stanjy kbwitch, and Seniavin, Captain Litke, will sail in the course of the ensuing week. These ships, as well as being destined to visit and convey supplies to the Rus- : sian settlements, are intended also to make a more assn- ' rate sirvey of the coasts of the Russian empire on the Pacific Ocean, and for discovery in the Southern part of that great ocean. To Captain Stanjy-kowitch is as signed the task of surveying the North West coast of Aulericasnal the Aleutian Islands; and to Capt. Litke the entity Eastern coast of Asia, as far as may be found prictieshle. Both ditps art prcrvideck with physicians, na luralists, and draughtsmen. They are to touch at the Canary Islands, and Rio Janeiro. After a short stay at the latter place, they are to double Cape Horn, and to visit the Society Islands, especially Otaheite, and thence to steer Northwards to the Sandwich Islands. They then go to Sitka, the settlement of the Russian North American Com pany, where they are to leave putt of their cargo. Here the two ships will separate. Captain Litke, after a short stay at Oonalashka, will proceed to Behring's Straits,where his hydrographical operations are to commence. The coasts of Kamadiatka are to be explored in July and August, about which latter time the Seniavin will arrive in the har bour of St Peter and St. Paul. The winter of 1827 and 1826 will be devoted to the Caroline Islands. The sum mer of 1828 is to be employed in the survey of the tea Otchosk. The ships will pass the winter of 1824 and 18'29 in the Southern half of the Southern Ocean, thence pass by Solotnon's Islands, and thu whole Archipelago of the Molucca Islands, and return to Europe by the Cape of Good Hope. On iVednesday the Numa transport, Lieutenant Went worth, Agent, arrived from the Mediterranean. She sailed from Corfu July 22; Malta August 17 ; and Gibraltar September 26.
