The latter notices an article in t!-e Journal deg Commerce, announcing that French Core r f.reial Agents bad been installed at Mexico, and that or oers had been given in the porta of France that the Mexi can flag should for the time to come be adinitted ; and it is added, that when Agents were installed in the other South American States, the flags of those States were equally ad mitted into our ports. The Et.ile considers these arrange scents to be the natural consequences cf the amicable and ormercial relations which exist between France and the New States; but it cannot admit, uith the Journal de Com +-erect, that they its any way decide the political question as to the recognit4on of the independence of the Spanish Co- N:ies. Such it' recognition, the Etoile conceives, could no snore result from the admission of the Mexican flag into the Preach ports, thin it could by the entry of French ships litto the ports of Mexico. The French Government ap peared to the Etoile to have pursu.:ll that course which it expected it would follow, by wisely distinguishing the coot rercial from the political question in making them ar rangements which their commercial relations with the New States required of them ; at the same time treating the rights of Spain with that regard which was due to their legitimacy. According to the fkile, it was et - 11y by such a measure as this that France could at a future day attain the end she had always been willing to arrive at, that of being called upon as the disinterested mediator for effecting an ami cable termination of the differences which exist between Spain meal her uncicnt colonies. Now we cannot but admire the ingenious manner in which the little epithet is introduced by the Frenchman. Auden, oppose a moderne, means old, late, formerly, and therefore may very justly be under stood as implying that the colonies were no longer those of Spain. To adjust the disputes betwen the independent States of America and Spain would certainly be a very teiendly act on the part of the French Government; but it rather questionable whether the Council of the 'limit knits will be able to subdue the obstinacy of the blessrd Fs Rol NI), and induce hint to adopt the only course of reconciliation that is now morally practicable—that of re- Lognising the ilidependence of the r.. w States of South America, which, to the cons ictiJii of all other nations in the world, is as completely established, de flack, as the Jolly of the Elude is apparent in milting such nonsense abiut the legitimate rights of the imbecile King of &AIN. ]from ti!c MAnitto, SF.PT. 7. Portugurse Ambassador has signified his intention of giving a fete at his hotel. on the occnsionof the change in the Government 01 his country ; but he has Leen apprized by the Spanish Ministry that such an occurrence would interfere wiili the tranquillity of the capital, and that his hotel would be exnoted to the Insults of the pwulace, which it would be diiTicul; fcr his Excellency to escape ftom.

Th repeated attempts of li , s Excellency to prevail on his Majesty have been without success. ;rod it Is said that the Duke is very much hurt it this refusal; and what has contributed to increase his chagrin is the circumstance, oat on the day the refusal was made a mob asembled ut:dcr his wlr.dows, shouting Macau el Negro.

These events have occasioned great sensa tion in the King's Council, where it is not dissembled that if a de- OctiJn commences among the troops of the liar, the Royalist Vo. 'TIE BRITISH PRESS. lunteers. of whom so much had been said, were not in a situation to support the Government fur twenty-four hours. A scene, which, it appears, will produce some serious ccmae quenem, took place on the :ith inst. at Saint Ildefenso. When the King roun.ed from the promenade, the troops foeming the guard of the chateau rendered him the usual honours, which consisted Principally in saluting his Majesty with the colours--a salute due only o the King. However, about half an hour afterwards, the in. font Don Carlos having arrived, the troops formed them:etre. into a line, and the same salute was rendered to him as had been paid by them to his Majesty ; but the General who was present imme diately struck the flag with one hand, and gave the officer who made the salute a blow with the other. It is reported that Duc San Carlos has been recalled from parts to Johannisberg. The police have discovered and seized a considerable sum of mo ney, which the Apostoliques have sent from Portugal. LISHOX, SErr. 4. A great many persons concerned in the late conspiracy of the guards of police have been arrested within theSe few days. The vessel Don John VI , which conducted the Deputation sent to congratulate the Emperor Don Pedro, upon his coming to the throne of Portupl, had not yet reached Rio Janeiro. Bloch inquietude had been felt at Rio Janeiro, in consequence of the intelligence that the troops and imperial squadron employed against Buenos Ayres had been defeated. The Council of State had urged the Emperor to put an end to the war by ceding the Cis. platine territories to Buenos Ayres, but his Imperial Majesty did not appear disposed to adopt the advice of his Council. We last night received Dutch Papers, of which the fol lowing are extracts : MOVE, SEPT. 17. We have before us seretal accounts of the sickness prevailing at Groningen, though we do not knew the number of deaths in the last week. It appears that the number of sick, on Friday the Bth, amounted, nu the city and subtirbs, to 8105. It is to be wished, says a letter from that town, that the air may be purified by wind and rain, and the disorder checked. In the country too, the num ber of the sick is very great, but the mortality is not so considerable as in the town. The sickness spreads more over the whole town, especially among servants, bakers' men, and itoor people, though in settle instances among the higher classes. The Magistrates do their utmost to check the disorder. Thus, in consequence of a representation of the Board of Health to the municipal authorities, a Proclamation was issued on the 11th, ordering, that during the continuance of the disorder now prevailing, the dead shall be buried on the third day, under a penalty of fifty florins. On the other hand great hopes must be entertained of a speedy cessation of the evil, because all persons interested in the autumn fair have been summoned to present themselves at the town-hall to obtain places, so that the fair will be held. The Rector 31agnilictut, of the High School at Groningen, kw given notice that the academical lectures will commence at the usual time, though a report had been spread that the opening would be deferred. Letters from Lieuwarden say that the disease prevails there also.' The average number of deaths in that town is 35 in a month ; whereas, in June 40 persons died, in July 60, and in August 89. In the open country and the towns in Friesland, which are simi larly situated with Groningen, the sickness, with its melancholy consequences, appears to conti.tue ; and similar accounts are re. ceived from East Friesland. It is observed that the inhabitants of the districts near the sea suffer less than those farther inland, especi ally in clayey soils, anti in parts that have been overflowed. The numbers of sick at Jever, in particular, is said to be great. Her Royal Highness the Princess Marianne was on the 15th ad mitted a member of the Reformed Church, by the Rev. M. Delprat, Chaplain to his Majesty. HAARLEM, SEPT. 18. We learn from Groningen that the fear that the number of deaths would not be anialler in the week, from the 7th to the 14th Septem ber, than it had been before, has proved well-founded, and it amounted to 142. 166 persons are already received in the new hos pital, from the establishment of which great hopes are entertained. —Marlt Papers, September 19. Several of our provincial contemporaries have very sen sibly remarked upon the absence of disaffection among the operative classes of the community during the period of severe distress, the worst part of which, we trust, they have now passed over ; and that, whatever irritation or bad feeling has appeared, it has not been political causes, but the pressure of the times, that have produced it. The demagogues of former years, who were always urging the multitude by their inflammatory harangues to acts of open hostility towards the Government, or of violence towards those in a superior station, have become objects of neglect and indifference to that portion of the community which formerly listened with avidity to catch every word that fell from the lips of those self-created Statesmen ; and the consequence is, that one has returned to his farm, and another to his merchandise, giving politics up in despair as an unprofitable pursuit. The inference drawn from this by the provincial press that have noticed the circum stance is, that Radicalism has been weighed in the balance, and found wanting. This is the truth ; but it is not the whole truth. Radicalism was always found wanting amongst the sober-minded; but we believe that in that class, for which Radicalism was especially designed by its principal promoters, it would not have been found wanting 1 in this season of embarrassment, had not the course pur lsued by the :Ministers been so clear, as to its integrity an.l wisdom, as at once to convince the great majority of the nation, from the highest to the lowest grade in society, that they were the sincere friends of the country ; which has necessarily thrown the vulgar brawlers in the cause of dis content, and their rude rhetoric, into the back ground. We made the remark when financial and other difficulties were most heavily preseing upon almost every branch of trade; and we cannot avoid repeating it now, when further experience has more strongly confirmed it—and when, thank God ! the country is emerging from its embarrassments—that no Ministry, excepting the present, ever retained its popularity in the midst of circumstances so trying as those that it has recently had to endure; and that fact can only be accounted for in the opinion the country entertains of the soundness of the views and the sincerity of purpose of the servants of the Crown,wlio have promptly taken advantage of that desire for improvement now so extensively developing itself, and which may be traced to the diffusion of knowledge that has taken place during the last ten or fifteen years amongst the mass of the people, which has enabled them duly to appreciate services, and has given the present Ca binet the opportunity of adopting a system (in opposition to antiquated doctrines), the most distant approach to which, five-and-twenty years ago, would have produced the bitterest reproach,s from all quarters. If the progress of knowbelge had not been very far advanced, the inter ested advocates for monopolies would have acted upon the prejudices of Ate people during the last eight months, and led them to cry down the great measures that are emanat ing from the British Cabinet; but the members of that Cabinet have shown as much address, in taking advantage of the temper of the times, as they have evinced extensive knowledge in all the great branches of political science. They have established the great principle that freedom of production and of interchange is the true policy of every State; and, by a fortunate concurrence of two important eireutirstances—the wisdom, firmness, and patriotism of those who are governing being prepared to adopt, and the Mu rAI opinions of an enlightened people being equally prepared to promote this great principle—it will gain too strong a hold to be ever uprooted. CITY, WEDNESDAY EVENING. The advance in Consols has not been sustained, they having opened this mailing at 801, and at the close of the market could not be quoted beyond 791 I for money, and for the Account at 791 80. There were some large sales by the Hebrew Gentlemen in the early part of the day, which sent them down ; but at 702 there were considerable purchases made, which led to the more favourable close of ' the market, as quoted. It is impossible to conceive a more uninteresting day as regards news, either of a foreign or domestc character. As relates to the former, there was not an arrival of any kind. The Paris private letters are much sought after, in order to glean something respecting the proceedings of Mr. CANNING in that city; and indeed it was said that his reception bad not been as agreeable as desired. On inquiry, however, it appears that there is not the slightest reason for such a report. The question of the reduction of discount by the Bank of England, from five to four per cent., is still matter of considerable argument. As the Meeting of Directors takes place to-morrow, the grand secret will soon be known. Disinterested parties con sider that no good would result from such a measure. In the Foreign Market Mexican Bonds were fated dur ing the morning to another reverse, having been done as low as 60; at the clove, however, they had resumed, being 61 to 611. Colombian, Greek, and Spanish, were all doomed to the same operation, and respectively showed a decline of one-half per cent. at the close of business. In Shares there is scarcely a quotation. The Corn Markt.: has not displayed so much activity as on Monday; prices, however, remain as near as possible the same ; while the like observations may be applied to the Colonial, with the exception of Coffee, which is a trifle higher. THE DISTRESSED PRINTERS.—The benefit which is about to be had for this distressed body of men will take place at the Coburg Theatre on Saturday, under the im mediate patronage of his Royil Highness the Duke of Sussex, who hat; in the most generous and condescending manner, addressed a letter to the Committee, expressing a hope that so worthy an object may be attended with the desired advantage. The means thus adopted of obtaining relief for this respectable class of men are most unex ceptionable, inasmuch a i s they will be the occasion of re munerating others, while it is hoped they will, at the same time, realize• a considerable fund towards the support of those for whose benefit they are intended. The contributions which have yet been made have certainly disappointed our expectations, when we reflect how amply every writer of the least pretensions to talent is at the present day re munerated by the public. Let each novelist, pamphlet eer, magazine contributor, reviewer, historian, writer of Belles Lewes, and poet, only give his quota, and then, without appealing to tlitir readers, an adequate fund would soon be raised to meet the present exigencies of those without whose industry all their ingenuity would go for nothing. That celebrated composer and musical genius, J. F. Bur rows, has just produced the fourth Book of Select Airs, from the romantic and fairy opera of Oberon, which, in 'point of tasteful arrangement and the scientific ability dis played throughout the whole work, justly entitles him to that high rank which he now holds in the musical world. I M POSTA:'T IMPROVEMENT IN CARRIAGLS.-011 Mon day the 11th instant, au experiment was made on the Darlington railway, with a carriage upon a new pi inciole, which appears likely to be a great improvement on Chat mode of conveyance. One of the old waggons, in good order, was chosen for the comparison, and they started together from the coal shoots, its short distance below the Brusselton-plane. The new waggon quickly outstripped the other, and soon ran it out of sight. It was observed to be at the third quarter mile port as soon as the old waggon had reached the second. The descent was very considera ble, and the time very short; the difference of friction, to which cause alone the retardation of a quarter of a mile in so short a time is to be attributed, must have been enor mous. The new *•aµgon continued its way till it was ob served to run over a quarter of a mile in thirty seconds, which gives a speed of thirty miles an hour. It now arrived at what is said to be a level of two miles, when the wind bring strong on the fore-quarter, the sptied gradually diminished. None of the old waggons will run at all on this part of the road, without assistance ; the new one, however, nearly cleared it, and would, no doubt, have gone quite over, if the wind had not been so unfavourable. It was curious to see how imperceptibly it came to rest; and so :.light was the draught, that &Stronger puff of wind wafted it a few yards back again. It was now pushed over the remainder of the level, and again got into motion. It then arrived at a long and sharp curve, and the crease was observed to bite hard upon the rail ; still the friction was so small that it kept on its way till it arrived at a straight part, where it again got into speed, and ran on to the depots at Darlington. What is perhaps still more surprising, it is likely to prove a cheaper carriage, in proportion to the weight of goods con veyed, as it is calculated to carry four tons. An experi ment made a few days before was equally satisfactory. STATE OF TRADE.—We are happy to have it again in our power to continue those favourable representations of the state of trade which for some weeks past it has given us much pleasure to make. It is many months since people appeared to be in such good spirits on 'Change as they were on Tuesday last, and the feeling then prevalent has since been fully supported. Money is more plentiful, and con fidence decidedly greater than it was. For twist for ship ping the inquiry continues brisk, and somewhat higher prices are demanded; goods also are in moderately fair request for some of the foreign markers. One water-car rying concern to Hull, we understand, has forwarded not less than eighty tons a day of twist And manufactured goods for several weeks past; and on Saturday last, we be lieve, received upwards of a hundred. The demand for printing cloth is good ; and we are informed that power loom calicoes, which, during the depression, fetched no more than Ss. 911. have actually been sold at los. 117ork also is much more readily procured by the hand-weavers, and the number out of employ, in Blackburn and the other chief seats of hand-loom weaving, is now very greatly dimi nished ; indeed, though no advance has yet taken place in the wages of this class of operatives, some of the manu facturers speak of its being likely to be in their power to make a trilling addition to the rates they are paying, in the course of a week or two. There seems to be, in the minds of some people, an apprehension that, when the autumn demand for the home trade has been supplied, and the shipments to the Continent are iuterreupted by the freezing of the Elbe, we shall again experiene.2 a considerable de pression. To a certain extent this may be the case, and we feel it necessary to caution our townsmen against being too sanguine in their views of the early prospects of business ; yet we have no dread of the trade of this district relapsing into any thing like the state of suffering from which it has just emerged ; and we entertain considerable confidence that the fears with which the approach of winter has been viewed will be greatly mitigated by their being a fair de mand for the labour of those who are disposed to be indus trious.—Manchester Mercury. On Sunday a curious proceeding took place in a Misting house at Grundisburgh, Suffolk. Mr. Latham, who styles himself a missionary to the British and Foreign Unitarian Association, and who, as an Unitarian Minister, preaches id various places, pursuant to notice given in printed hills, &c. delivered a sermon on the doctrine of atonement. Text, Rom. v. 11. It is unnecessary to describe the discourse, but after it had concluded, a lay gentleman from Ipswich, also in fulfilment of promise, commenced the work of re-' futing Mr. Latham's opinions as to the simple humanity of our Saviour. Ile evinced some reluctance at first to begin the promised labour, being doubtlessly somewhat abashed. Having begun it, he proceeded in his refutation at considerable length. He was eventually aided by two friends who had aemnpanied him, and at last something like a general discussion arose in the Meeting-house, In which the three lay gentlemen who attended publicly to refute Mr. Latham's Unitarian doctrines, Mr. Latham, tke. took part; and these discussions kite between two and three hours, so that it was nearly eleven o'clock before they terminated, the arguments having been adduced after Evening Service.—Morn lag raper.

Some representations having been msde to tile Princess Regent upon the subject of the continuation of the Censorship, her Royal Highness has ordained as follows--First, that the Tribunal shall appoint twelve Censors, who shall supervise all works, especially t he journals and pamphlets, and their sanction shall be a sufficient warrtmt for their publication. Secondly, that her Royal Highness will consider the zeal and the promptitude with which they acquit themselves as test:moities of their good services. Thirdly, if the citizens who should be nominated Censors refused to perform their duties, it should be referred to her Royal Highness through the medium of the Minister of the Interior. If the number of Censors should not be sufficient, others might be proposed in addition. On Tuesday last Government despatched an extraordinary courier to Madrid. lie conveyed a note to our Charge d'Affaires ut that Court, with instructions to demand, for the last time, the givieg up of those Portuguese who had taken refuge in Spain ; and that for the future none others should be admitted into that kingdom. Three Portuguese merchant ships bare arrived here from Rio de Janeiro : one of them brought a mail and despatches for the Go vernment. We learn that Admiral Lobo and two Civil Judges of the Su preme Tribunal had been beheaded, after having been publicly degraded—the first for the crime of cowardice, and the two others for subornation. GERMAN PAPERS. Rotten, AUGUST 19. There is no doubt that a plan for reducing the whole of the mill. tary force of the Papal dominions was in contemplation ; it is said that it was to be diminished one half. Every body must Terve that, like many others, this plan, which would have relieved the burdens of the people, and have allowed of the application of the All'lsS thus spared to the advantage of the country in general, has been defeated by circumstances over which the will of the Pope has no control. It is certain that Leo XII., depending on the spiritual power which the Government exercises over its subjects, and convinced of the truth of the principle, that when a Sovereign places cot.tidence in his people, the latter (as a whole) is never ungrateful, was ready to make this reduction without any political uneasiness. But it is said that such urgent remonstrances against this measure were made to him from abroad, that lie was obliged to camr.ly—that he may have thought that the crimes of a few wretches of the dregs of the people might be suppressed by the ordinary proceedings of the Criminal Courts, without a permanent military force. It may be easily supposed that discontent is excited h' the re forms of his Holiness, who wishes to remove the abuses that prey on the vitals of the state. especially in the finance departmeid ( lie camera postufica), but a late and striking example hats shown how necessary these reforms arc. Nine clerks in th% Com pulisteria had not shown themselves in the office a single day in the whole month of July (in which it has hitherto been the fishion, on account of the hot weather, to keep holiday), but at the end of the month they came to receive thcir talury. Instead of this, however, they received their discharge, and were told that their absence hay ing been considered as a voluntary resignation of their places, they had already been given to ethers. With respect to the provinces, his Holiness seems reselved to take a very rigorous measure, which is theist fore extremely repug nant to his feelings, but is unhappily the only one likely to rove efficacious. lililitary tribunals are to be established there, which are to decide promptly, and without appeal, in cases of homicide and Carbonarism. That for Ravenna is already appointed. Under the superintendence of a Prelate, it will be chit fly directed by Col. litivinetti, of the Gendarmerie, who has perforined such services against the banditti of the Cant panne% and Maritima. Very severe penalties are again denetinezd against the bearing of orals. The dislike entertained in Ravenna towards the Cardinal Legate seems not to have abated, though it is said, by a special ordinance, the Corbonari, condemned a year ago to the galleys, or other punish ments, have had half of the penalty remitted. It is said that a paper was posted up on his palace, with the words—" (jini d{(/cr. fur nun niCrlitr." The following is a new instance of the noble and unsuspicious disposition of him Holiness. Four of the Nzapalttan exiles, who have sought refuge at Rome, had a dispute with a Roman who challenged them : they appeared at the place appointed, where they found, ins , ead of the Roman, half a dozen gendarmes, who ar rested them and took them before the police, by which they were condemned to leave Rome, because, at the Roman affirmed, they had spoken ill of the Government. They appealed to the Pope, who pardoned them, merely hint:sing on them eight days' penance. Unpleasant rept its are received from the kingdom of Naples. It is not only said that troops of banditti are tanning on the fron tiers, and towards the Abruzzi, but the letters speak of great dis content, especially in Calabria and Puglia, where the new excise system was very disagreeable to the people. We hear of a hortatory letter said to have been addressed by the Pope, at the Imeance of the French Court, to toe province of Rol ion, and which is reported to bear the following title :—" Ad Gal las ditaidentes yriesertim Diut•es Pieloviensi qui yulgo anticon cordatitne appnllantue, exhortittio." If we may believe persons who affirm that they haveread this document, a kmd of schism has broken out among the clergy of the diocese of Vienne, to which Pithier, belongs, which contists in this, that a great part of them, viz. all the priests who remained fai:hful to the constitution of the church existing before the revolution, have withdrawn themselves from the two concordats of 1301 and 1817, and, aecuitlingly, have renounced spiritual obedience to the Bishop. THE GREEKS. CORFU, Arc 22. Letters from Prcvesa, under date of 15th instant, state that the Seraskier was encamped in the , •artlens of Athens. and had besieged the fortress, but that the (creel garrison appeared decided upon offering a vigorous resistance. There has been published at Prevesa a &man, announcing the success of the t'tiltan against the Janissaries, and inviting all faith. ful 3lussulmans to enrol themselves in the regular troops. It is said that there are frequent riots in Zante hetwen the inha bitants and the Austrian sailor., and that the English ministry generally espoused the cause of t he inhabitants. There is no news in circttlatian at Corfu respecting Greek affairs. very rich Greek merchant arrived here a few days since, with Russian Papers in the usual course and alto, it is said, came on his own private alb:its ' and that he intended to return as soon as they were despatched ; but, notwithstanding this, he Las been refused permission to enter. Some instances of the plague having occurred on board two ves sels coming from alotlon to Catena. they have been sent to Ithaca to he panned. No case hail occurred in the lonian Islands, nor has it been asc:rtaintd that any place on the Continent except Coron, Motion, and Navarino, had been inf,c:ed. Notwithstanding, it Is added that at Corfu 25 days ordinary quarantine arc obstrvid, and fourteen extra days for all vessels proceeding from Colanio and the Continent to Prcvess. tickle-Aga, the Governer of Prevesa, for the satisfaction of Europeans, had established a quarantine ti r all vessels proceeding from Calnmo and the lliorem that are et all SM. rested but the English Consul at Prevesa having taken upon himself to violate this regulation, in the case of a vessel which had been three times refused entrarce by the authorities, and whit h brought from Patens his nephew and a young merchant of Mar seilles, nsmed Roberts, Ilekir ago Intl supp-essed the quarantine. saying, that if the plague could not attack the rich, it could not attack the poor, as he c,nsidertd that both partook of the same nature.

COM MUNICATION WIT II ENG LA:CM—The packets have arrived ratli.:r irregularly for some days 'past—some- times at two o'clock, sometimes at five o'clock, and even so late as seven o'clock in the evening. It is evident that the present Post-office arrangements will not answer. Inde,d, when our readers are told what these arrangements nre, they will easfly conceive i the cause of their failure. The London mail s not, as many suppose, sent direct by Liverpool. The Pea-office packets sail from Liverpool every evening at five o'clock, with the mails from the north of England, and call at Holyhead, betwem twelve and one o'clock at night, for the London bags. They arc thus oblig ed to go a considerable way out o f th e i r course , an d have to contend, in the darkest hours of the night, with the difficulties of making llol j bead—difficulties which will be increased ten-fold during the winter mouths. Any one acquainted with the passage between this and Liverpool, and who has ever seen the bay of Holyhead, after the wind has blown for some time strongly from the west, must at oitcs perceive the utta impossibility of carrying such ar rangements into effect. Under these circu.»stancts we would recommend the Post-office to adopt the plan which, we believe, had been originally proposed, and to send th.: London mail direct by Liverpool. The mail from London to Liverpool at present arrives at half-past seven o'clock in the evening. It could be easily accelerated two houws, and could be despatched from the port at half-past five o'clock. In any thing like moderate weather, its arrival in Dublin may be reckoned upon at nine or ten o'clock in the morn ing. We conceive that these arrangements would be found to answer every purpcse.—Dublin Evening Pnst. , MOVEMENTS.

" 4 .)1.1 N -T " - F CORONATION of Me EMPEROR of RUSSIA. The ceremony of the Imperial Coronation took place at Moscow on the 22d ult. (Sunday, the 3d inst.) The time originally fixed was last June, but the death of the late Empress caused it to be postponed—first, on account of a long fast which is observed in the Greek Church, and which did not end till the 15th of August ; and secondly, in consideration of the delicate state of health of the Young Empress. The latter circumstance was also the cause of the ceremony being considerably shortened ; for it com menced at ten in the morning, and was finished by half past twelve. That part of the Kremlin where the procession passed was entirely closed, and a scaffolding erected, the seats on which varied from twenty-five to seventy-five rubles. The ancient Cathedral, whidi is very small, could not contain, at the utmost, above five hundred spectators, and of these scarcely one-fourth were accommodated with seats. Dis charges of artillery announced the completion of the cere mony to the multitudes who were assembled without, and, on their return, the Emperor and Empress were greeted with loud anti enthusiastic acclamations. The Grand Duke Constantine, who arrived at Moscow a few days before the Coronation took place, assisted at the ceremony, and walked in the procession, thus giving the sanction of his presence to the solemn act which placed the Imperial Crown upon the head of his brother. Ile left Moscow two days after, and returned to Warsaw. The city was brilliantly illuminated during three suc cessive evenings. The venerable towers of the Krtmlin were one entire blaze of variegated lamps. We understand that the impteasion produced on the Russian nobility, by the magnificent and splendid enttr taiuments given by the Duke of Devonshire, has ben that of unbounded admiration. Extraordinary preparations had been making for some weeks for a grand ball to be given by his Grace, at which the whole of the Imperial Family were to be present. Tickets were issued for five hundred persons, and it was to take place on the 7th (19th) instant. None of the other foreign Ambassadors could vie with his Grace in the splendor which lie had thrown round his mis sion. " The Devonshire manner" had already become a current phrase among the Russian nobility, to deflate the highest display of gorgeous magnificence. CHELTENHAM, Serr. 19. Last evening a Grand Concert was given at the Assem bly Rooms by Mr. Woodward, the principal musician of this place, which was very well attended, considering an incessant rain all day, but not sufficient to reimburse the managers, which, with the enormous sums paid to the vocal performers, has made the loss very considcable. The Concert was very complete in every department, was ably lead by Mr. Mori, and conducted by Mr. Woodward. The performance commenced with a grand Symphony by Mozart. Miss Stephens was loudly greeted on her en trance into the orchestra. She was encored in all her songs, viz.—" Lo, here the gentle Lark," accompanied on the flute by Mr. Davis ; " Rest, Warrior, rest;" and " I've been roaming." Miss Johnson, a niece of Miss Stephens, made her first appearance, and sang " The last Rose of Summer," and other pieces, very chastely ; and when she has acquired the necessary confidence to appear before an audience, she will be an acquisition to the orchestra. Mr. Phillips sang a ballet!, " Oh no, we never mention to a French melody, which well suited his voice anti style of singing; but in " Largo al Factotum," a comic song by Rossini, it was quite the contrary; he (lid not seem sensi de that to give it effect he shonld be a comic performer, at d especially following such inimitable Italian comic performers as Ambregetti de Begnis, &c. He otu;ht to sing it to the translation, as Mr. Penson does at the English Opera House in !he Barber of Seville, where by his dancing and acting the ffect is given to the words. Mr. Mori played a Concerto on the violin, and intro duc,(l into the adagio movement " Cease your Funning" with the most exquisite taste and execution, and was loudly applauded. Miss Sterling played a Fantasia and Variations on the piano -forte, by Moscheles, and displayed great execution.

The Marquis de Palmella, the Portuguese Minister, transacted business yesterday afternoon, at the Office of the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, in Downing-street. Loran Lowrir ER.—We understand that, a short time previous to the late Westmorland election, Lord Lowther, finding the strong impression which his conduct to the Manchester deputation on the gas bill hail produced to los disadvantage in this town, consulted his friend, Mr. 11 in. Holmes, M.P. as to the course which, under the circum stances, it would be proper for him to adopt. Mr. Holm.s advised his Lordship to do melting until the el, c ion tvas i over, hat his motives might be misconstrued ; but then, f his conduct to the deputation bad been such as it wes tt prese wed to have been, to make those acknowledgments to the very respectable gentlemen who composed the depu tation which the circumstances called for. Lord Lowther acted on this advice, and on Tuesday last, accompanied by Mr. Holmes, he visaed this t mn, and the gentlemen whom he had so grossly insulted having given him the meetntg, he made to them an ample and satisfactery reparation for the treatment they had experienced front him. Haville recorded strongly our opinion of his Lordship's original ill conduct to our town: tnen,we feel ourselves bound in cane our to state the fact of his having thus voluntarily, and in a manner very creditable to himself, now made them the amend,: Ironoruble.--.Manclaster Mer cury. ff
