SKPTLMBER 27, 18RG. The Fronts Papers which came to hand last night sup ply us with no fresh political intelligence. A Journal piblished at Bordeaux contains a letter, dated from Bayonne cot the 18th inst., in which it is stated that two of the four regitnents encamped in the licinity of that town are about to return into the interior of France. It was reported there that an aideAe-camp of General MINA bad been arrested at Oloron, and conducted to Pau. On his person were found a considerable quantity of money, and a suspicious mass of correspondence. Important negotiations are stated to be in progress between the Cabinets of London and Madrid.. The Greek Committee of Parts hare judged it proper, in consequence of the impertinent protest of General Rocs's, to publish the instructions with which he was furnished on undertaking his mission. The Committee, in transmitting these instructions for publication, frankly declare, that " notwithstanding the services previously rendered by General Roe s, they cannot approve his con duct in investing himself with a political character which the Committee had no authority to confer upon him, and which he eouldnot, while isosaapaing their coutldence and acting in their name, receive from any other persona." One of the French Journals announces, on the authority of letters from Constantinople, of the date of %led ult. that M. CH ASSE AV D, the son of the Dutch Consul at Salonica, who was in the counting-house of Messrs. Wright, the English merchants, had been assassinated by some Turks at the door of his warehouse at Galata. This event will probably induce the Government of th e N et h er l an d s to look with lesi indifference on the sanguinary contest now raging in that quarter. The private correspondence from Spain continues to draw the same distressing picture of that wretched and agitated country. Letters from Saragossa of the 10th inst speak with exrressive brevity. " The public tranquillity," they say, "is very doubtful. People who formerly used to walk openly about the streets and public places, now dare not leave their twines." These few words convey more meaning than many loneseniences. The 31.-nw vial Burdrkois stales that persons whO are daily at the palace of St. Ilil.phonso, and know well what is passing there, say thnt since the execution of BESSIERES, the KING has been in so melancholy a frame of mind, that it has been ex pected he would fall into a state of mental alienation. In his fits of delirium he calls aloud the traitor's name ; and it is observed that the courtly intriguers who surround him emhavoor to keep alive this feeling of remorse, instead of approving the decrees issued against that General. The Carlisle will therefore probably succeed at last in the deposition of F !ALIN AND, by exciting his apprehension to 'mail/pitch as to subvert the little reason he possesses. The Xoniteu, contains the official documents relative to t. 1 .. h k. isim... THE BRITISH PRESS. the conversions of the Rentes. The whole of this opera tion is now concluded, and the result is, that the saving effected in the interest of the public debt of France amounts to 6,223,199 f., which, according to law, Is applied to the reduction of the land-tax, poll-tax, and the taxes on house hold furniture and on doors and windows. The diminution of the public burdens, by this " great. financial measure,',' for which M. de VILLE LE has been so absurdly panegy rised, does not, after all, amount to 5250,000/. !

The Commissioner; having recapitulated the results of their proceedings on the 17th of August, which were published at the time, and having stated the rectifications that had been made in some small sums. say, ow the whole the total amount of five per cents. converted into three per cents. is 30,574,116 francs, and the whole amount of three per cent, arising from this conversion is 24,4,59.035 francs. The verifiettions relative to the conversions in three per cents. being terminated, are closed. 1.

A list of the applications for conversiods which were declared null. _ The first part of our mission being terminated, and it being six o'clock, we resolved to meet at ten this evening, to verify the result of the applications for conversion into 4i per cents. At ten we met again at the treasury, where the director of the inscribed debt presented to us. 1. The list of applications for conversions Into 4A per cents. 2. The journal containing the particulars of the 5 per cents. converted, and of the 4A per cents. thereby produced. 3. Th. various documents furnished by parties applying. We found the applications entered in the register to amount to 1,176.704 francs, and the 5 per cents. converted to 1.0110.345, whence it appears that there remains in stispenee a sum of 96,359, in consequence of the irregularity, or insufficiency of thedocutnents produced by forty applicants. The 4} per cents. inscribed, amounted to 272,2:23 francs, which are equivalent to the 5 per cents. converted, deducting a tenth on the interest, and a difference of 82f. 50c. arising from fractions of francs which could not bz in scribed, and have been repaid.

M. de Villele having mentioned the law for the conversion of the Rentea, observes, that byArticie 3 of the law the dimi nu ti o n i n the interest of the debt which shall thereon ensue iv to be applied from the beginning of 1826 to diminish the additional cents on the land tax, poll tax, the tax on furniture, and on door, and windows. The diminution of the interest of the debt thus effected is f11,223,19f1f. The taxes in question amounting to 194.727.934 f. 63c. a dimi. notion of three cents. would make only 5,841,838 f. 4c., leaving 331.359 f. 91k. unemployed. A diminution of another cent. would greatly exceed this over. plus, but it would suf fi ce to diminish by six cents. instead of three the door and window tax, which is the most charged with addi tional cents. of all the direct taxes, and the most onerous to the poorer contributors.

Sc.—Corn Authrxttyite We have received the Brussels papers of Saturday. The chief article of interest in them is a notieT, from the Sar dinian Consul respecting a misunderstanding between his Sovereign and the Dey of TRIPOLI. We regret to find that the Germanic Inquisition at Mayence is not to be dissolved as was expected. It is judged advisable to continue it in existence for some time longer. The following arc the extracts to which we refer : BRUSSELS, SCPT. 21. It is by a mistake that we announced the embarking of the Duke of Cumberland for London. Ilia Royal Highness will set out the day after to-morrow with Prince Frederick of Prussia, and arrive at Paris at the same time as the King of Pntssia. Several of our Journals arm that the late incitirles made of the Editors of the Public Journals relative to the times or their exis tence, the subjects of which they treat, &c., have for their object a law to be proposed in the next Session of the States General, to subjn. them to a duty, or some other financial regulation. The Sardinian Consul-General in this kingdom, residing at Am. aterdam, has just informed the merchants that the Puha of Tripoli, from a false Interpretation of the treaties concluded with his Sardi nian Majesty, has given orders to lay an embargo on all Sardinian vessels in his ports, sill the differences are adjusted. Ills Sardinian Majesty has immediately sent a squadron to insist on the accom plishment of the treaties, and in case of need, to prevent the national vesicle from being molested by Corsairs. This measure will doubt. less make the .captains of ships easy, should they have been alarmed by exggerated reports. FRANKFORT, SEPT. IS. Notwithstanding the dechrarione and decisions that have lately emanated front the meat Committee at Berlin, whose equity and moderation have formed so remarkable a contrast with the severity of its first decisions, the Committee at 111 ayene, which has been on the point of breaking up for some months past, still exists. It Is now said that the existence of the Members of the Committee depends on the will of each Prince in particular, and the general will of the Powers. It is thought best, rather to let things remain as they am for the present, than ostensibly to dissolve the Com mittee. The struggle fur ascendancy on the part of the work. men in the various trades at present in a state of conflict, still continues to go on with unabated ardour. It is pro ceeding—as we said, from the first, it would proceed—far beyond the lengths to which the mere urgency of the or might carry it. It is assuming every day a more formidable Shape ; so formidable, indeed, that not only is the manufacturing interest vitally endangered, but the general interests, both of civil government and of social order, have everything to fear. This Re w power which has risen up amongst us is acquiring to itself a force which—if much longer permitted to organize and strengthen itself, as it is now doing—the laws win soon be unable to cope with it. There seems to us to be no assignable limits to its progress. Not only do the artificers of different trades combine separately but collectively ; not only are con tributions made in aid of each pltrticular Union by its own members, but subscriptions are set on foot in support of the system of combination as a common cause. At the General Meeting of the Brassfbunders Union, held last week in High Holborn, it was, after a very animated debate, in the case of the Bradford Combirs and K'eaec,s , resolved "that 201. be immediately forwarded to them from the funds of the society, and that weekly subscriptions be commenced at the various manufactories throughout Lendon in this branch of trade, in order to prove to our Bradford brethren that we are determined to uph , )kl our motto of Men of Metal.'" The Committee of The United Felimongers and Leather Dressers recommended a subscription of one penny per week from each member of the Union, to be col lected at their pay-tables every Saturday night, to support the above cause of the " Bradford Brethren," and the re comendation is accompanied with observations to which the public attention cannot be too strongly drawn. " The sum," say the Committee, " may appear contemptible, but we are not in want of facts to prove that large VMS have been collected from small eon!, Mations from the many ; and in this in stance societies in the country have and are still adopting the same plan. When we see societies assisting 'acidic', and unions asso ciating with nnionr, That may we not anticipate :1 Brethren, let us step fuhrard with dor miol, though it is tut a mite I It is Arta- Mg a link in a chain of coneettion, that, it milt:chid with wisdom ►nd prudence, will eventtially promote the interests of all ranks of society. inasmuch as the prosperity of a nation must stand or fall with the majority of its population." What may ultimately be effected by this GRAND JON c mt.:, it is, indeed, difficult to anticipate. In the mean time, it behoves us to look well to it, and to inquire how the interests of property are to be eventually protected against all these United UNtaNs ? They present the basis of a NATIONAL CONVINTION MOW formidable than ever yet entered the lists against the constituted authorities of the State, either in France, or under any Government that ever yet appeared in Europe. If its members should in cline towards the same equalizing.policy—and their leaders show every symptom of being so disposed—the line which they will chalk out for their public labours will be pretty broad, and it will not be their fault if the Capitalists, of every description, do not go to the wall. "All we can do," say the 13sAnroan Committee, in their sixth address is sued to the mechanics, artisans, and labourers of OSIAT 13arratN—" All we can do shall be done, to stir up the people's spirit every where ; and never will we give up pleading for you, until we get every workman into the practice of regular weekly s ubscriptions, till your contest is co brought to a triumphant nclusion. No, most worthy and respected friends, we know you will not forget to assist us; the number of' our assistants will increase a hundred fold faster than that of our opponents ; and we shall yet see innocence and poverty triumph over wickedness and wililth." Whether these affiliated conventions will realise their vi sions of empire is a topic we will not now touch upon There is at least enough going on before us to answer all the end of public instruction. It remains for those in au thority to profit by it. CITY, MONDAY EVENING. A practical illustration was given to-day of the little confidence that is to be placed in stock-jobbing anticipa tions. The dissolution of Parliament was looked forward to as the certain prelude of a decline in the funds, by reason lof the large amount (two millions, it is generally supposed) which is usually drawn out for electioneering purposes. This is considered, one of the certainties of stock specula tions. The reverse of the fact, viz. :—the continuance of Parliament for another year, would, according to common calculation, make it equally certain that stocks would at least keep steady in price, provided no collateral circum stances make their appearance, to induce a decline. To day, however, in the absence of all such collateral circum stances, and with a certainty that Parliament would not be dissolved, the English funds have declined. Consols opened this morning at 881 1. They afterwards went down to 1 1, and finally closed at 4 1, with an appearance that certainly indicated no probability of improvement to morrow. The business would have been more extensive if the price had not declined, several brokers who came into the market to sell having, in consequence of the fall, suspended their proceedings. Exchequer Bills were from 4s. to Ss. premium, and money was by no means scarce. The Foreign Market was even in a more languid state than on any day last week ' • but the chief depression in it was in Greek Scrip, which fell at the close of the day to 22 discount. Several reasons were assigned for this rapid and unexpected decline, viz.:—from 171 to 21. and in some of the latest bargains to W. Unfavourable news from the theatre of war was given osn as a principal cause; but this, we have reason to believe, is utterly groundless. Another reason put forth with more plausibility, was, that this Government had (as we predicted they would several days since) rejected the overtures of the Greeks to be taken under the protection of Great Britain, and in addi tion to this fact, it was stated that a Proclamation will immediately appear, to prevent the exportation of all war like munitions to the Greek patriots. South American Securities were under a very heavy depression. Colombian Bonds were at 75/, Mexican Scrip 11 II discount, and Guatemala ditto 41 4 discount. Spanish Bonds were rather better, but they are still very low. The old were at 181, and the new at 14a. Brazilian Scrip again declined; it was at 91 9 discount, and Danish ditto was at 61 6. The Share Market had no business of any interest trans acted in it during the day, and the prices In it were all heavy. The speculators in Mincing-lane predict steady quota tions and large sales to-morrow. In Mark-lane to-day the supply of Wheat was scanty, and the price firm. A large quantity of Barley was at market, which made the sales in that ankle heavy. An abundant supply of new Oats came in, and were bought rather freely. fhe Oats were of very fine quality. The City of Edinburgh has arrived from Bengal ; she sailed on the 6th March, which, our readers will recollect, is an old date.. She is late from St. Helena, but advice, by her from that island arc of no public interest. A Lisbon packet arrived yesterday, with letters to the 17th instant, but they contain no political information. The Brazil packet that reached London yesterday brings no !WWI beyond the fact that Sir Charles Stuart had been well received by the Government nod the people, and that he was in constant communication with the for mer, but the result of the negotiations between the British Ambassador and the Brazilian Cabinet hail not been suf fered to transpire. The letters are dated the 27th July. The city of Liege has set the honourable example of opening a subscription in favour of the Greeks. Many young men in the University have shown great enthusiasm and generosity in favour of that heroic people. Subscrip tions have also been opened at Mons, and in the Com mercial Club at Brussels. The King of the Netherlands has given the Grand Cross of the order of the Belgic Lion, to their Highnesses the Duke of Cumberland, Princes Charles and Albe►t of Prussia, and Prince William Louis George of Saxe Witt genstein.. _ _ The Cour rier de Gand states, that a few days ago a con siderable number of Belgian horses were embarked for England, on board the English packets and other vessels. " We suppose," says the Bel g ic Journali s t, " t h at t h e y must be intended 'to supply the losses caused by diseases among the horses in that country." We have heard of epidemic diseases among the horses in France, but this is, we believe, the first notice of any such occurrence in England. • GERMAN PAPERS. PRESBUEGI, SEPT. B.

VIENNA, SEPT. Her Imperial Highness the Archduchess Henrietta, consort of the Archduke ('harks, was happily delivered, the day before yes terday, of a Princess, who was baptized the same day, in the Palace of the Archduke Charles, and in the presence of their Majesties, and of the Archdukes and Archduchesses now at Vienna, and of their Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Nassau. The cere mony was performed by M. Steindl, Bishop of Antinopolis and Vicar-General. The Empress stood godmother, and gave the young Princess the name of Maria Caroline Christina. The Hungarian Crown and Regalia, which are preserved in the atonic of Pest, were removed on the 7th, and sent, in scaled boxer, to Presburg, where they were to arrive on the 9th.

The Postmaster of Sr. Roque has sent notice to the English garrison, that any despatch to be sent through Spain must have his sanction ; leave to that effect being only granted by application through the Civil Secretary of Gibraltar ! otherwise the despatch will be stopped, and the messenger punished according to the laws of Spain. A letter from Barcelona states, that upon a rumour (a false one) that Mina and Arguelles had landed at Catalo nia, several friends of these distinguished men, who are in that province, have been arrested and dragged to prison. Among them was Don Torres de Gana, a gentleman nearly 90 veers of age ; his white hairs and irreproachable conduct could not protect him.

They have already had several conferences, and several Privy Councils have followed. We are of opinion that in a short period these negotiations will be brought to a happy conclusion; being well convinced that the British Government are too well assured of the firm principles and pretensions of our Emperor, to have sent such a famed diplomatist as Sir Charles Stuart, unless they were con vinced of the cerlainty of settling the differences existing between this country and Portugal." One of the letters received from Rio Janeiro yesterday states—" Lord IVm. Paget proceeds in the packet for Eng land with important despatches. The Secretary for Fo reign Affairs has had frequent conferences with Sir Charles Stuart, but nothing has transpired here." The principal newspaper offices in the United States are open to the public, and are provided with abundance of reading matter for their amusement. The office of the New York National Advocate has lately been fitted up in such a manner that all the newspapers which are received from any part of the country each morning by mail, may be seen, free of expense, from nine o'clock in tit= morning until sunset. A table is placed in the centre of the office, and these papers (and occasionally English papers) are free to respectable strangers from every section of the United States. THS UNITED ST•TEP AND GEORGIA.--The ground taken by the President of the United States in relation to the treaty with the Creeks, and the survey of their lands, is the ground of right and justice. By the treaty, the Indians are to be protected by the government from any encroachments till their removal in September of the next year. The Gover.lor of Georgia, apprized of this fact by the treaty itself, by the Secretary of War, and by General Gaines, persists nevertheless in declaring that the Creek lands, thus prospectively ceded, shall be entered upon and surveyed, cost what it will. The President, then, having no alternative left, having exhausted all entreaties with the Governor to forbear, in vain, directs the Secretary of War, " to state distinctly to his Excellency, that, for the present, he will not permit such entry or survey to be made." And he has ordered General Gaines, should the Governor still persevere in sending persons to survey the lands embraced within the treaty, to employ the military force to prevent their entrance upon them, or to arrest' them if they should succeed in entering, and turn these persons over to the judicial authority, to be dealt with as the law directs. Here, then, this controversy is brought to a point, and it is not difficult to foresee the proper re. suit that will inevitably be produced. TR•VILLING IN Ting UNITED STATES.—The travelling between this city and Brunswick is unprecedented; Soo persons, at least, leave this city for that town every day. The expedition of the boats, the excellence of the accom modation, is allowed by all, and the cheapness will never I be heard of, but with surprise—forty miles for a shilling. Ten years ago, the price was two dollars. The only im position, is with the stage drivers at Brunswick, where they have the assurance to charge the Yorkers 2a. for a ride of half a mile, the steam-boat price for eighty miles.—/Vera York Paper. COMMUNICATION BETWEEN ENGLAND AND IRELAND. —With considerable satisfaction we learn that two new steam vessels, of more than 300 tons each, and of great power, are in such I state of forwardness as to be likely, in about three or four weeks, to commence plying con stantly and regularly, with goods and passengers, between Waterford and Liverpool, upon nearly the same plan as the steam vessels upon the Dublin and Liverpool station. Considerable progress has likewise been made in the con struction of a similar steam vessel to ply between Water ford and Bristol.—if atenperd Chronicle. INSTRUCTION FOR MECHANICS AT PAIIIS.—Baton Charles Dupin, a Member of the Institute, has under. taken to give instructions to the industrious classes in geo metry and in n.echanics, as applied to the arts. His in struction tends to the great manufactures as well as to the most ordinary and common arts of life, and even to fine arts. The architect, the carpenter, the mason, the sculptor, the painter, and the engraver, each re quire a knowledge of certain geometrical or mecha nical principles: M. Dupin supplies them with this knowledge. The knowledge lie teaches is necessary 1 , sary to all mechanics, and artists who have any thing to do' with mechanics. In som e c i t i es o f F rance, some arped Professors have hastened to follow M. Dupin's example, and others propose to follow it. The steward of the cockpit onboard the Windsor Castle, in liamoaze, was found suspended to his hammock one morning this week. The poor fellow had coturnitted the suicide early in the night, the body being quite stiff when discovered.—Plymout4 Gazette.

RIO In JANICIRO, JULY 11 Yesterday, the 17th, his Majesty reviewed a part of the garrison of this city, in the Plain of St. Christovoa. To.day, at half-past eleven o'clock, his Excellency Sir Charles Stuart landed from the Wellesley man.of.war. He was landed on the plain of St. Christovoa, to be nearer to his residence. We hear that his Excellency had the honour to meet the Emperor, who was returning to the Palace of Bona Vista, atter having been to exa. mine the works carrying on at the Custotn.house, and the new bridge eff the Custom.house, which Is finished. By this bridge the great inconvenience is removed which the merchants experienced by the tedious unloading of their ships, which, besides, will not b e stopped at two o'clock fn the afternoon, as was the custom. It is difficult to imagine how the Government, which Is compelled to extraordinary and enormous expeditions, by succours to all the pre. vineee of the Empire, paying the troops and pudic officers, building ships of war, &c. can undertake works of this nature, which cost Itrge sums; but a good Administration can af ter much, as may be seen by comparing the present and the former Government. Formerly there was no war, no dissensions in the provinces; agriculture and commerce were not injured by civil war; there was no army, no nary, and yet nothing prospered. and an enommus national debt was augmented. Now that Brazil bas an army, a navy, and has suffered - all the above.mcntioned e•Ms, everything prospers; there is money fur everything. _ Jr LY We hare received very favourable news from the province of Cisplatins. Everything promises the speedy anti happy termination of all disorders excited by rebellion and ambition. We know tee certain that the battalion of the Emperor, and of the ream' ten, which went to that pm( ince, have already taken the field, withou t getting sight of the enemy ; that, on the Led of last month, Colonel Bombs, with his sons, two officers, and six soldiers, entered Monte Video, were detained as prisoners by Fruetuoso Riveira, atd had eluded his vigilance; that Lieutenant-Coionel Queiros, wh o had followed Riviera, and wart besieging COlollia with two hundred men, recognising his error, had returned to Monte Video with m eat pf his people, and a quantity of arms and arnmunitsn ; that our Squadron had greatly contributed to the h a ppy rend', by taking from the enemy a quantity of stores, a good scaoonar,' which h a d then on board, and various other vessels; that the people's minds were much encouraged by the arrival of the squadron, and the pe. cuniary assistance sent by his Majesty ; that provkions weveehear, and so abundant that the authorities had requested no more might be sent. We have seen many letters which cot:firm these state. merits: one of them says, .• I think that this disonler, etched by the revolutionists, will be soon put an end to. The ravidity of the expedition has astonished and confounded them, as they themselsts confess ; and the troops arc very good." _ Juty 26. A despatch from the Viscount Laguna, dated 31onte Video, June 26, announces the arrival of the troops from Rio. on the litti and following days, nod expresses his confidence in the speedy rtstoration of order.—Rio de Janeiro Papers to August 'X MEXICAN MINING ASSOCIATIONS. The following is an extract of a private letter from Mexico. Its contents are of some interest, particularly in reference to the progress which is making in working the several mines belonging to the different Companies formed in this country : IlltXtco, Just 9. You will express surprise, perhaps, at my not sending you mere political news, but it is only because there in none to send. The Congress, it is expected, will meet on the lid of next month, and then, perhaps, we rutty find some gossip to send you. I find this city more agreeable as a residence than any part of South America I have been in. I have been naturally led, since I have been here, to make wore comparison between this country and that other section of South (or. 1 should say, Spanish) America, of which, as you are aware, I know the most—l mean Colombia ; and I should say, that al- though, as regards their separation from Spain, it is as cot piste in the one country as in the other,. yet, in point of national energy and national feeling, altogether, Colombia is more advanced than Mexico. Fourteen years of warfare, difficulty , and suffiring, har e developed and matured:a national character in Colombia in a grata degree than has occurred here, precisely because the aim! causes have not prevailed to the Same extent. However, cauteirof a dd. ferent kind are at work in this country now, which, it is to be hoped, will tend every day towards its advancement in civilization. The principal of these, and the one which now engages most eet the public attention, is the working of the mines. You have little idea in England of the benefit which the mining districts of Mexico are already feeling from the putting their industry in 'limier. All the people are employed. There is a demand every where for horses, provisions, iron, paper, and everything that the mines want for their operations. The three principal English companies hare apparently taken different courses of proceeding, each and all of which are the subject of conversation and criticism here. The Real del Monte Company, who have got the immense mince of Court Regis, go upon the plareof employing steam engines. Their en. gines are arrived on the coast I hear, and it is said they expect to get them conveyed to she mines and to have them erected and he ready for work by next spring. The question that is propouneed among the learned in these matters is, whether, after the engines have got to work, and done their d'usiness by draining the mines, the same result could not have been obtained by the means of the country, and at less expense, and with less delay, than by steam engines? 'rite expense oiconveying the steam engines, aunt repair. ing the roads for that purpose, is very great. The Anglo-Mexican Company, which has its mines principally in Guanaxnato, has followed a different plan. They have adopted the Mexican system of malacates, making some improvements in them, and by means of these they are draining the great mine of Valenciana at the rate of ten thousand tuns of water per week. I was perfectly astonished at the power of these things. Eight of them, I understand, are now established on the great shaft of Va. lenciana, and are at work night and day. Each malacate takes twelve horses, which are relieved every sex hours. The expense must be great, but the mine is yielding ore every week. 'Both this Company and the Real del Monte have had out a good many Cornish miners. The newt great Company is the United Aleecan. It seems to be the policy of this Company, as far as I can leant, to work entirely with the means of the country, capital and management being the great articles they supply. They have got some very valuable mines in Gmanaxuato, Zacatecas, and other districts. The whole of these Companies are under excellent management. The one lard mentioned, the United, is under the direction of Don Lucas Alaman, Minister for Foreign Affairs, a man of great value to this country—able, upright, scientific, and with a great turn for min. ing. Ile is assisted by one or two London merchants, who, with him, form a board of management here. The Anglo-Mexican is under the direction of 51r. IV illiamsun,:who resides at Ousnazuste, a gentleman who, some time since, undertook the working a the King of Persia's mines, but was obliged to leave that country in consequence of the treatment he received there. Ile is a man of great talent, judgment, and exertion. The Real del Monte is un. der the direction of Captain \'eitch, an officer of engineers. and son of a physician in London of that name. Ile appears to he a very able nom, equal to the trust reposed in him, and is very much esteemed. Besides these there are three or four other smalkr tempo! , n The etTect of their several labours must be soon felt in country, and I guess it will not be many years before it is telt in Europe. POATR•II* PAINTING.—Rigo, the painter, who was among the men of science and art who accompanied the French expedition into Egypt, fell in at Cairo with a ca ravan from Nubia. As the trader of the caravan had countenance which displayed the national features in very striking manner, Rigo resolved to paint his portrait, but was obliged to give him a considerable sung of money before he could induce him to comply with his wish. At first, the Nubian seemed content with the picture; boss soon as the colours were laid on, he uttered a loud cry cf horror, and all endeavours to appease him were fruititsa. He escaped to his home, where he related, that his hal and half of his body had been taken away by the painter. Some days after, Rigo led another Nubian into his work shop, who was no less struck with horror at seeing the picture, than the man whom it represented had been ; sad told all his countrymen, that he had seen a great ',samba of lopped-off heads and limbs in the Frenchman's house They laughed at him ; however, to satisfy themselves about the matt e r, s i x o f them went to visit Rico. 'hey were seized with the same panic at the sight of his prim' ings, and no entreaties could prevail upon them to remain in the house.—Percy Anecdotes of Imaginati.m.
