The Ultra-royalists, in opposition to the French Minis try, are, it appears by the Paris Papers of Saturday, doing a' t in their power to raise an outcry against M. DI VILLE LE Ice having recognised the Ilaytian Republic. A pamphlet 1 as been published by $l. eoerreatts, which, it is un derstood, speaks the feelings of his party on this subject. Ma vehemently condemns the whole transaction in prin. c'ple and in detail; but he is especially scandalised at ac proceedings that took place during the rejoicings a: Port-au-Prince in honour of the acknowledged inde pendence of Hayti. " It was well enough," he says, " for the Haytians to be glad ; but what had the French to celebrate? Was it because the illustrious President deigned to confide in the weed of the King of FRANCE ? Was it the union of the health of CHARLES X with that of the mulatto Bovea ? Our blood boils in our vans on reading these disgraceful narratives. 11 - bat a lesson for the multitude! 11'hy should they patiently vegetate in' misery and humility, when murder and sedition can exalt th :VI to such lofty destinies?" The writer then adverts to the state of Spain, si:l alluding to the death of litssitats, he otecrves that "while a royalist paid for a moment of error with his head, a leader of faction, who has persevered in his criminal course, is elevated to the rank of a sovereign Whatever effect this style of writing and reasoning may bare in the very limited circle of malcontent royalists, it can have re, weight with the masa of the French public, who will justly estimate the prcpriety of the measure attacked by the benefits is will produce to the commerce and manu factures of the kingdom ; and not by the exploded dogmas cl a fanatical party. If, however, the terms on which the intercourse between France and Ilsyti is renewed, have leen ecesured by one extreme party in France, they hare eeptally been the object of hatred with another extreme party in Hayti. The last letters from Port-au-Prince state, that a conspiracy has been detected among the officers of CH PISTOPPIea old army. The following letter from the Courtier Francois will explain the nature of this intended revolt :-.- PORT•AU•PRIRCE, 4VO. 4.

(PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.) I send you some further particulan of the bold attempt made by some Greek vessels on the Turkish fleet in the port of Alexandria. On the nth of last month, at four in the afternoon, four small vessels, bearing a European flag, appeared in sight of the Port, three of which advanced to the opening of the Port, the fourth re. maiming tacking off and on. '1 he pilots, as usual, went out to bring them into the roads. At half•past five the first entered, and soon after the second. The Captain of the Port arrived to take the usual dues. It was then perceived that the t a t of these strange vessels was endeavouring to penetrate between the Turkish ships of war, and as a long scampania was perceived at the same time alongside, some suspicion arose that it might be a fire ship. It wit ordered to stop, but the Captain still advanced, and would probably have succeeded but fur a sudden change of the wind. ' Thai Ending himself discovered he set fire to his vessel, and abandoned it. The whole crew got into the scampania, and by dirt of rowing got out of the Port. The second seeing this treked about, and followed the scampania. Seven cannon shot were fired at this ucond ship ; three others were tired at It by a l'rench man-of-war, but without doing it any injury. • A great number of Turks ha-retied in pursuit of them, but these vessels hiving hoisted the Greek flag, joined their squadron. The tire. sHp that was abandoned was towed to a part of the harbour when itsuplosion could do no mischief. At the same time three men. of.wer, one of them a frigate, were sent out in pursuit, but it is not known with what success. FIZXCH OCTODIR I.—Fivs pea Cents. 99f. 60c., ; Three per Cents. 71f.

The account we this day publish of the proceedings of a general meeting of the Glasgow weavers will be read, we think, with some interest, as illustrative of the spirit in which the combinations in that part of the kingdom have originated, and are now conducted. There are, besides, some curious revelations as to the sources and correctness of Mr. llust s's information en this subject. The intrepe dity of the individual who ventured to break in upon the line of business traced out by the " Committee," is entitled to commendation, especially uit thoroughly exposes the utter hollowness of the pretence, that fair discussion is in any degree the object of those by whom meetings of this nature are called together. A correspondent of the Glasgow cLropsiele has fetwarded to the editor of that paper a circular letter issued by the " Committee" for the put pose of ruining a respectable house, frotn which they have not hitherto been able to seduce the workmen. Ilow much longer, we ask again, is this infamous and destructive sys tem of proscription to be tolerated ? Not one month, we trust, after the commencement of the next Session of Par liament. No evil of greater magnitude has ever threatened the rosperity of the country. It must cease to exist as a commercial and manufacturing nation, if these practices be permitted. COPT. That each district, In addition to the regular allowance for sub• sistence, give a premium of one shilling per week to those who will leave the service of , till they are employed at the regular prices. _ Signed by the Secretary and Prescs. Here is a bounty of one shilling a week offered to workmen to abandon the service in which they are employed ! The fact would be incredible, " were nut the proof so nigh." Sincerely believing that the Holy Scriptures were " written for our learning," and believing, further, from the blessA effects which have followed their promulgation, that the assistance of the Father of Mercies has always Leen, and still continues to be, graciously afforded towards making them effectual to the gradual reformation of his creatures, we arc greatly grieved and not a little surprised to learn that the Genre' has really been of very little use in the moral government of the world ; that the means of salvation are very little, if at all, known ; and that even the city of Limnos:, the most enlightened metropolis in Europe, is so much benighted, and so sunk in guilt and ignorance, as to require MISSIONARIES to come amongst us, and teach its inhabitants that they have souls to be saved. We have excellent public churches in every pariah, in which the regularly-appointed Ministers of the Establishment teach, with exemplary earnestness, all those sublime truths of Christianity which are most useful in guiding the practice of their hearers by mending their hearts. They have done all this in the days of our fathers, and "in the old time before them." But to our great astonishment we find " A NEW SOCIETY for pro moting Christian instruction in LONDON and its vicinity," announced with great solemnity in the last number of the EvancteLicau MAGAZINE. The partieulars will be found extracted in another part of our Paper. It is ushered in, as the reader will perceive, with such a description of " the wide-spreading and thickly-peopfed city of London," as wouhl lead foreigners to suppose that the Bible had never yet been an object of attention with any class of its citi zens—that our Church Clergy never yet made the moral instruction of the people, either in the city or out of it, any part of their concern—that public worship, and the practice of the religious duties of life, were utterly neglected, and that but for the spiritual benefits to be conferred upon us by this newly-formed society of CITY MISSIONARIES, the ' Londoners would be a lost people. So desperately forlorn, it seems, is our condition, that the BETHEL UNION SAINTS have bestirred themselves; and in that precious vehicle of theirs, The Sailors' Ma gazine, they chalk out the spiritual line of their labours under the head of " CITY Missions." We have laid this announcement likewise before our readers. These marine apostles tell us, that " the efforts now making for LoNDoN have a -most extraordinary character of useful ness, and if artive)Y pursu ed with SUITABL E ru NMI, there can be no doubt of a success fully corresponding with the magnitude of Ltkoldect." Thus the BErm Er. and the EVANGELICAL City Mitrionaries divide their labours; the one are upon the alert to catch the tea!,-side, the other the water-side hearers. " Messrs. JOYCE and Parrisos," the Bethel Ambassadors inform us, " have been very par ticular and assiduous in their domiciliary visits about ST. CATHARINE'S : and Messrs. Piiirt PS and SutrH also on the opposite shore of TOOLEY-STREET." What is likely to come of all this privateering is a topic we will not just now touch upon. The cant and fanaticism which are fast spreading themselves through Ili • nary is not the least alarm ing feature of the times in which we live. A bare outside profession of piety coats nothing. To act from an inward principle of rectitude is the true test of Christian obedi ence, and here there is no playing the hypocrite. But every presumptuous blockhead now-a-days goes out of his province to enlighten the world ; and this disease of vanity seems to have become epidemical. IWhile we are sending 41fissionaries into all quarters of the globe, we are described as being ourselves amongst the worst of the unconverted.

How these Evangelical and Gospel teachers, as they are pleased, per excellence, to term themselves, can justify the libels which they are perpetually sending forth against the Ministers of the Church of Eng land, we really do not know. 'We believe that we do them very slender justice when we affirm that as many real prac tical inward uniform Christians are to be found among their followers, as are produced by all the labours of the se:f. elected apostles by whom the character of the British pub lic is thus defamed, and the establishment endangered. CITY, MONDAY EVTNINO. This was equally as vapid A day on the Stock Markets as Saturday. Console, in which very little was doing, opened at 88 87!, and afterwards advanced to 88, buyers, at which price they left off. Exchequer Bills were at par to Is. premium. _ _ The Foreign Market bad no variation in it from Satur day's prices, excepting in Greek Sctip and Spanish Secu rities ; the former advanced to 24 3 discourt, and the old Spanish Bonds retrograded to 16, it ; in the new there was not a transaction. The current report to-day in the City, that Lord Cochrane is certainly going out to Greece, notwithstanding all that has been i ndustriously circulated to the contrary, probably bad a favourable eflect on the Scrip. In Shares there was nothing dote Ivor Eh reporting, ex cepting in those of the Rock atit7 Patent Salt Company, which were very much inquired after. There was a fair supply of all kiids of Grain this morn ing at market. Barley and Prase were, in consequence ra ther cheaper. Wheat and Oats maintained their price. Ship letters are in town from Pernambuco to the 2sth of August. They represent the great distress that is still ex perienced there from the extreme drought, and the suffer ingt of the inhabitants from the want of money and pro visions. There are also ship letters in town from St. Vincent's, of the 25th of August, but they contain no public intel ligence. TIIE NEW SrANisit LOAW.—It appears by the last advices from Madrid, quite certain that M. Tassin's loan is reduced to an advance of the revenue of the Spanish customs, at the rate of 60 per cent. A letter from Madrid dated the 23(1 ult., states that at that period the negotia tion had not been concluded. The Minister considered the terms too high, and the King could not be induced to make any concession with regard to the bonds of the Cortes. As, however, the want of money was felt more and more every day,sand a junta, appointed amongst other things to find out the means of raising fresh loans, was but newly cre ated, hopes were entertained by M. Tassin that the ne gotiation would succeed. The transaction will be of the following nature:—Spain will issue a certain number of bonds, for which she will receive cash according to the terms of the contract; and these bonds are afterwards to be taken in payment of the ;Spanish customs as ready money, and in payment of all duties on the importation of merchandise into the Peninsula. flow much more advan tageous as well as honourable would have been the short, plain, and clear course of doing justice to the Spanish bondholders! Extract of a letter dated Guayaquil, May IS, received at Paris:—" The Jamaica papers, which we receive by way of Panama, lead us to apprehend a rupture in Europe. The recognition of Colombia, Mexico, and Buenos Ayres, by ' England, has been the occasion of great rejoicings here, and will probably insure important advantages to 'English com merce. The fear of seeing France declare herself the auxiliary of Spain in an endeavour to reconquer Peru has induced a general levy of men here. The French have been ill-treated at Lima. Captain Demoge, the colleague (of Captain Delasusse, has been sent away by Bolivar, to whom his miuion was addressed. A journalist f the Colombian Government observed late ly, that these Gentlemen did not appear to have tie lever of Archimedes. It was only after the arrival of Admiral Rosamel, a:id an amicable explanation between him and the Liberator, that our countrymen have been safe." _ _ Extract of a letter, dated Guatemala, June ea:— " Government is as regularly constituted, and presents as fair a prospect of durability as the other republics, although not so much known. There is no party opposed to it— there are no internal dissensions—no factions to contend .„_ against. The President is employing his exertions to kring around him men the most competent to fill the first offices of the State; and, from his conciliatory manner, will most probably succeed in doing so. 'f ho. opposition of a few members in the Senate and Congress is no more liable to be deemed a faction than is the Opposition in the English House of Commons." Accounts from Gibraltar, to the 6th ultimo, state that Colombian privateers continue to cruise on the neigh bouring coasts, and are making a rich harvest; a vessel which had arrived at Gibraltar from the Havaunah had been plundered, and 1,500 dollars taken from the pas senger s. Letters from Constantinople state, that upon the receipt there of the intelligence that the Greeks had solicited the protection of England, the Grand Vizier addressed a strong remonstrance to the English and French Ambassadors at Constantinople, which was instantly forwarded by them to their respective Governments. It is stated in a letter from Paris, dated Friday, that the Emperor of Austria has sent positive orders to the Commander of his squadron in the Greek seas, that they are not to afford protection to any Austrian vessel which may be taken by the Greeks whilst conveying troops, am munition, provisions, and stores, for the use of the Turks, or otherwise infringing the neutrality which the Emperor has resolved to maintain. All vessels captured under such circumstances are to be abandoned to their fate. Some remarkable incidents have occurred in the conver sations of the French General Roche with the wild Greek mountaineers. Several of them admitted that it might be desirable to employ corps of foreign regular troops to op pose Ibrahim Pacha's regulars ; and Bot7aris, the most influential of them all, being asked, " Should you like to have a King in Greece?" replied, " I think that a King would be desirable for the good of Greece, in its present circumstances." Conformably to the Brazilian Constitution, the Trial by Jury was ordered to be introduced; and we ace, from the Brazil Papers wired by the last packet, that the first cause tried in this manner lately came on in a Court in stituted for the purpose of hearing a cause connected with the press. The plaintiff in the action was the Intendant- General of Police, and the defendant the Editor of the Diarie do Governo. The trial was conducted with great decorum, and excited considerable interest, as being the first of the kind witnessed in the country. Orders have been issued in Brazil for the establishment of botanic gar dens in all the provinces, and the attention of the planters has been called to the cultivation of the tea-plant, of which one proprietor has already 4,000 on his estate, in fine order. The Brazilian frigate Piranga continues at Spithead, quite ready for sea, waiting for orders from Lord Cochrane, who was daily expected to arrive, but whether for the purpose of returning to the Brazilian service or not was not known. Tut NAVY We beg to correct the statement which appeared in our Paper of the 29th ult. respecting the com parative half-pay of the pursers of the royal navy with that of the officers of the commissariat department. The half-pay of an Assistant Commissary-General is not 4s. 11d. but 7s. 4d. ; the former being that of a Deputy Assistant Commissary-General. The half-pay of the pursers (if it may be so called) is, for the senior one hundred Ss. per diem ; the next one hundred 4s. per diem, and for the re maining five hundred only 3s. per diem, although the whole of them have a parity of rank with the Assistant Commissary-Generals ; the disproportion therefore between the half-pay of these respective classes of officers is still greater than we had supposed it to be.

The rending of the part (to speak technically) differed lit tle, if at all, from that of Monday last ; but, as was to be expected, its execution was accompanied by greater energy in proportion to the increased confidence of the actor. Some of the points were very well given, and called down continued approbation. Among the most successful we may particularise the delivery of " No—not an oath—" in the seconl act ; and the rebuke to Cassius, farther on in the same scene— " Our course will seem too bloody, Calus Cassius l" which was delivered in a fine vein of philosophical remon strance, and produced a very considerable effect. The oration to the mob was the same in manner as on the pre vious evening. In the quarrel scene Mr. Wank displayed more force, and, generally speaking, ability, than on the occasion of his first appearance. It was very well through out, with the exception of the mode of speaking the passage— " When I spoke that, I was ill.tcaspered too." That was a deviation, and not a very felicitous one, from the prevailing practice. Mr. Warde repeated the line with a degree of peevish and bashful reluLtance, more akin to the manner of a halt-sulky school-boy, than to that of the frank and noble Brutus, who is generous in everything— his hatreds as well as his friendship. We also thought the interview (we use the word advisedly) with the ghost of Julius by no means so strikingly impressive as we have seen it in other hands. The Mark Anthony of Charles Kemble is too well known as one of the noblest performances the English stage can boast, to require our Commendations, or more particular notice at present. ASTLEY'S AMPHITHEATRE. Yesterday evening Mr. Ducrow took his benefit, as Ma nager of Astley's Amphitheatre, and, as might have been expected from the popularity of this liberal and spirited individual, every portion of the house was crowded to excess. Since the death of its founder, we believe the theatre has never had a more successful season. Mr. Dn crow, who had, according to the adage, " learnt to be wise by wets' harm," avoided the rock on which his predecessor, Davis, had been wrecked, by—as Mr. Mathews ex pressed it— " Somewhat rashly Dropping the narte of Astley," -.- , • and the old Amphitheatre still continued, under the joint proprietorship of Messrs. Ducrow and West, to bear its original title, experience having taught them, that under another name it certainly did not "smell as sweet." Mr. Ducrow, by the assistance of his principal actors—the horses—and by the support of his main prop of the sea son, " the burning of Moscow," has contrived to give very general satisfaction, and his exertions have been amply rewarded. The performances of last night corn- Menced with the " extraordinary extravaganza scene on horseback," entitled the Math of General Jucko. The imitators of baboons have recently been very popular at the minor theaters, and, if report speaks truly, the boards of Covent Garden and Old Drury, are to be similarly lie neural. M. Gouffe, alias Gough, but frenehitied to give his capers more eclat, it is said has received an engagement from Mr. Charles Kemble, and is about to bid farewell to Ids first patron of the Surrey, to supply the place of Mr. Young, late of Covent Garden, and M. Ducrow is expect ed to appear as his rival at the other theatre. Be it as it may, the feats of the Jacko at Astley's are very little in ferior to those of the Island Ape at the Surrey. The chief, attraction of last evening, however, was The Knights of Palestine, a piece produced for the purpose of displaying the astonishing sagacity of the horses, and also of descriLing " the methods employed for adroitly making use of the sword, lance, and javelin, as practised in the justs, tilts, and encounters of the knights and squires of old," an ex hibition that might have furnished some useful hints to, in return for, the idcas:botrowed from, the "great un known" author of the Crusaders. The tournament was really a splendid and effective sigh', and recalled more forcibly than a hundred novels could do, our ideas of the days of chivalry, and the knights .e,ns pear et sans reproche. The next scene presented M. llu crow standing on two horses, on which he passed rapidly round the circle, repeatedly changing his position. This feat is perhaps the most extraordinary of the kind we have ever seen. The noble animals appeared to know the danger in which their master was placed, and notwith standing their rapidity, their motions were as regular as if they possessed that intellect which alone distinguishes be ings of the higher from those of the lower world. The horsemanship is, in truth, a treat of no common order to the old as well as to the young. and may he enjoyed by the philosopher who can enjoy little else of the kind. A new melo-drama, of the every-day description, entitled The Felon's Hate, was then produced ; and The Bnrning of Moscow, the leading, and almost the only piece of the season, terminated the varied amusements of the evening, eluting which Mr. I)ucrow was loudly and frequently cheered by his delighted auditors—if auditors they may be called. Ma?ready is engage(i at Druly-lane theatre, where Ken ney, the dramatist, succeeds Fred. Reynolds, as reader, supervisor, and adapter of plays for Drury-lane theatre. Mr. Macready has been performing five nights at the Southampton Theatre, to fashionable audiences, and has been well received. A fair debutante, in the person of Miss Stafford, has ap peared at the Doncaster Theatre as Rosins, in the opera of the Barber of Seville, with such success as to promise that she will, ere long, figure away as a leading vocalist in one of our metropolitan theatres. Barbaglia is the name of the conspicuous individual who has monopolised the entire direction of nearly all the Thea tres in Germany and in Italy. Ebcrs is returned from Paris, where he has engaged Ma dam Bonnini, the celebrated soprano from Florence, Ma dame Brocard, the accomplished dancer, who has been most successfully playing all the parts of Bigotini at the Aca demy of Music. This lady's dancing and acting in the, Ballet Opera of Nina, and also in Fiore et Zerhire, has been much admired for its chaste and graceful action. Auguste Lefebre, first (lancer and successor of Albert, who' is going to Naples, and our established favourite Coulon, are also engaged, as arc Madame Pasta, Curioni. and Vel. luti.

Some days ago we state7lll7aconspiracy had been de tected in Hayti, having for its object to overturn the Go vernment of Boyer, who has rendered himself justly unpo. pular by the strange bargain he has made with France. It appears from the latest intelligence frorn llayti , that the conspiracy Was of a very fortniclabla and desperate character, having for its object the massacre of all the Mu latto Chiefs, of whom the black' population is extrcmc:y jealous. Accounts from Port-au-Prince to the 14th of August,. recelied yesterday at the North and South American Coffee-house state, that, the principal authors of the conspi racY had been arrested, and that several Officers who had been in the service •of Christophe were of the number; several shots are said to have been eachavged between the, conspirators and the troops of Boyer, who, as soon as be heard of the insurrection, hastened to the spot. A letter of the 13th of August says, tranquillity was entirely re. stored in the north, but a number of arrests had taken place, and several superior Officers had arrived, under an escort, at Port-au-Prince. The most circumstantial account of this conspiracy is contained in a letter which appeared in the G`argow Covrier of Saturday. It had been rtceiVed by a rtspcctable incr. cantile house in that city, from Ilayti, brought by the Augusta, which arrived in the Clyde on Friday. The extract from the letter, which we subjoin, is prefaced Ly the following observations by the editor of the Glasgow Courier:— • " We consider it unnecessary td re.stato ottr opinions regarding the recent events in St. Domingo. We considered, and we still consider, the arrangements concluded between France and Boyer to have for their ultimate object the retention of St. Domingo as part of the dominions of France, but to be retained as such under the Government of Boyer, and the present constitution and state of society there established. `ire ere, moreover, of opinion, that Boyer, besides being ltd to the steps he has taken by the flattering promises held out to him by France, has been compelled to resort to the measttres he has adopted b• the knowledge of the discontent which reigns amongst the black military population, who, so greatly outnumbering the mulattoes, would not long suffer them to retain the reins of Government. Every arrival from St. Domingo has, since the event, confirmed the fact, that the Blacks looked upon the negotiations with France in the same light as we have done. They loudly proclaim that they have been sold, and, under this feeling, it was to be expected that they would seek the opportunity for revenge." Extract of a letter, dated Cape Hayden, Aug. 7, 1825, received per Augusta, from Porto Plate In our letter of the 28th ult. I spoke of discontent amongst the old black Generals of Christophe; and you may imagine our alarm, when on the night of the 28th ult, a call to arms was heard through the streets, which were on the instant deserted, every one securing himself in his dwelling ; a few individuals only on horseback were endeavouring to induce the citizens in the houses to join their parry and cane. These soldiers were the guides of various black Gene. rals, who, notwithstanding all their efforts, could not succeed in obtaining any partisans. " The conspiracy, it is said, was judiciously planned, and em braced the whole of the northern arrondissements : upwards of GO Officers were implicated ; their object was to establish a Government independent of the ancient Republic, and to that effect it was agreed on, that all the Al ulatto Chi e f s should be massacred at a public dinner, given in celebration of the Independence, at which every inhabitant of note was ptesent, including the foreign merchants. The writer was placed at table between two Mulatto Colonels of the regiments forming part of the troops of the garrison, on the other side of whom were stationed two black officers, their destined executioners. From some unknown circumstances the execution of the project was deferred till the night above alluded to, of the 28:h, whic't failed, from the want of co-operation of the privates of the parr son, who, tired of civil war, denounced their revolutionary dile vs. These were all arrested, and sent prisoners to the capital. " The public mind is now in comparatively a tranquil state. A Len.rai *Aram prevails in this place." • flu Royal Itighness the Duke of Gloucester is on a visit at the hospitable n ansion of J.
