The Paris Prpers of Friday arrived last night. A Royal Ordinance has been issued for the establishment of a central school for tlm superior ecclesiastical studies. None b•tt persons in holy orders can be admitted to this seminary, and the students will all undergo a public examination be fore the professors of theology. The Sorbonne is now revived in the plenitude of ita former authority. The Archbishop of Pains has hail an audience of the Pori, who received him, we arc told, with great afection. Leo XII. held out his arms to embrace him, but the Archbishop threw himself at the feet of his Holiness. The i two Grand Vicars, vho travelled with the Archbishop, were afterwards introduced, and the Pori bestowed on them his benediction for a million of souls! The correspondence from Spain relates chiefly to the in trigues in the palace. General PEZVELA has been dis missed from his command, because his love ofjustiee and hatred of violence rendered him an uufit instrument for the i l ruling party. The drought is producing a famine. Wheat' is rising in value every day, but the police will not allow the bakers to raise the prica of bread. General CANTEILAC still remains at Bordeaux. Ile has not obtained leave to return to Spain. Another reason that detains him in France is, that lie is a claimant to a conai tit rabic extent under the law of indemnity. The Moniteur denies that any misunderstanding occur red at Cadiz between Captain RODNEY and the French naval officers there. On the contrary, it states that during the whole time that the Active was in the roads of Cacti:, there was a continual interchange of civilities. The explanations respecting the state of affairs in Greece perfectly agree with the accounts in the German Pa pers. The rocal of Cotocovaoxi has removed all present appearance of disunion. The danger will be when the common enemy is driven out of the country. Then we fear the old feuds will revive. The Journal des DeLats eontair-. the official despatch of Mint:Lis to the Priniltes of Hydra, announcing his victory over the Egyptian fleet off Motion. The report is substantially the same as those already before the public through other channels. (From the Mordkat of Friday. July 22.) The official part contains a Royal Ordinance, suppressing the oak,: of Intendant of the Crown Domains and Forems. and uniting its functions with those of the Alinister of the 'loyal llousehold. [Non-Official Part.l AUGSBZiGH, JULY (PIIIVATE CORDESPONDENCE.) Our Con e,pqneient at Trieste writes more minute details than the preceding, relative to the events that have taken place in the Mores, since the month of March, had reached us from Corns. They explain many things which have hitherto seemed obscure. It aroma that if the measures arranged by the Greek Government, on the landing of !byelaw Pacha, had been carried into drill the Egyptions would 80013 have been expelled from the Peninsula. It has turned out otherwise, and the following is the reason. For these 18 months the inhabitants of the Isla and the antersaries of the Military Government exercised an exclusive preponderance in Greece, but on the appearance of the Egptian army, the the partisans of the military chiefs took advantage of the c!rania. stance to get the latter replaced at the head of &Wars. Tb. Go. vanment, which was not ir.orant of their projects, might have baffled them, had it not been obliged to scatter the Greek army of , the continent, as It was called, which bail entered the Mores at the tune of the revolt of Colocotrani. It was necessary at once to re pulse the Egyptians and m make head against the Pucks that had entered into Attica In Livadia, Etolia, and some parts of Western (trance. Things beings in this state, Colocotroni and other chiefs of the M Drente troops resumed their commands. Proclamatiocs have been addressed to the inhabi'ants of the Mmes, which have excited extraordinary enthusiasm. " ft is but justice to say that Colocotroni displays extraordinary activity in the organization of the new troops that are to reinf orce ti** that ate in the Eeid. 'We may, therefore, expect that the sp. prosching events will be of great importance. PARIS, JULY 21. Some journals hare lately entertained their readers with disputes said to have occurred et Cadiz between the commandos a the Freya - mind division stationed at that port, and the Captain of the Active English frigate." We bare received from a correspondent. worthy of entire confi dense, some trartitulars of the stay of that frigate at Cadiz, and we think it useful to publish than. The 1411,3,41 is the letter of our correspondent. " CADIZ, JUNE 26, 1926. " ills Britannic Majesty's frigate the Active, Captain Rodney, ' n the ' -^ station, r nil which has of Cadiz , commanding the French squadron otationed at title port, sent one of it:s officers to ccuiplirnot Captain Rodney ; and during the whole time that this Icaptain remained at Cadiz, he returned with the greatest politeness all the civilities of the French officers. " The Active tailed yesterday for Llabon, from whence it will return to Leadoff, the time of 'its cruise having expired, and Capt. Rialary being called to another command." In consequence of the continuance of the excessive beat, the Council of the Archbishop of Paris has sent a circular to the parishes, inviting the priests to say at Masa for ulna days the prayers for rain. The faithful cannot fail to Join in prayers so ne cessary to the public grod. FilExctt Jimw 22-- Five ST Casts.3sc.; 3 per 'f'cots. 76f. 20c. ; Rentals rle Nellie., Certificates P. b9f.

According to the news from lima in the German pa pas received yesterday, the fall of Navarino was lea the result of IDaAITM PACIIA . I strength, than of the inter nal dissentions of the Greeks themselves. CONDURIOTTIB had every thing prepared to raise the siege, after the brilliant achievement of Mi•v Lis off 3iodon, whom the soldiery suddenly mutinied in favour of CoLoctrrsowi, whom they instated upon having placed at their head. CoNDUato to was obliged to yield, and the seditious chieftain was libel steel and invested with the supreme com mand. The Morectes appear to have had no confidence in the talents of the military leaders appointed by the Execu tive Authority, and they took advantage of the critical moment to compel the Government to submit to the ascendancy of COLOCOTawn. During these proceedings it was that Navarino surrendered and laxartim was enabled to make his incursions into the Mores. Since COLOCOTRONI has assumed the command, the numbers and spirit of the army have increased, and there seems to be every reason to expect that Isasnim PACIIA will be crushed before any reinforcements can arrive to succour him. It does not seem from these advice. that CoLoco- TIONI had violated his oath of obedience to the Govern ment, or abused his power. Let us hope that a sense of common danger will prevent any of these criminal excesses, which would certainly and immediately lead to the de struction of all. REDSCHID PAC A, it is stated, had be gan his retreat from Miuolonglii. We are glad also to learn that Count SANTA Rosa did not perish in the defence of Navarino. lie was severely wounded, but escaped with MAU r.O COADATO, previous to the capi tulation. We have twice had occasion to notice the malignant and scandalous articles with which some anonymous cor respondent supplies the Morning Chronicle respecting the Envoys and Agents of the New American States. We have on each occasion shown, by undeniable facts, that these articles are as false as they are vulgar and virulent. Yet this libeller perseveres in his slanderous career with as much cool and unhesitating effrontery as if all that he has written was absolutely unquestionable, and had re mained unexposed ; and the editor of the Morning Chro nicle continues to give currency to his flagrant outrages on historical truth and private reputation. On Saturday his article, in point of audacious calumny, surpassed all that had preceded it. He opened, as before, with a garbled extract from " Mr. CANNING'S speech in the House of, Commons, July 5, 18257 relative to the Right Honourable Gentleman's refusal to receive a British rmerchant as Consul- General for one of the South Americrn States. The objection of Mr. CANNING was, its we have already shown, not in the slightest degree of a personal complexion. He ob jected on principle to have any mercantile gentleman invested with a diplomatic character, because " merchants were the very persons, of all others, from whom it would be most needful to conceal the particular information which would be disclosed in the course of the discussion into which , he proposed to enter." This was the ground clearly and expressly assigned by Mr. CANNING for the re run' which he had felt it his duty to give. In time same breath the Right Honourable Secretary took especial care to avoid all possible risk of any but wilful misrepre sentation, by speaking of the mercantile gentleman in question in the most respectful terms. We know not from what report the correspondent of the Chronicle professes to copy his pretended extract from Mr. CAN NI NG'S speech. Probably it is fabricated for the purpose ; but he that as it may, it is altogether incorrect, and is calculated only to produce a false impression upon those who read it. NVlmat Mr. CANNING did say, as reported in our paper of the next morning, was to the following effect : " A partner in a highly-respectable mercantile house in the city had been appointed a Consul, and had, hi right of that appoint. ment, called on him (Mr. Canning), and tendered his credentials, offering then to enter upon the discussion of points of the highest importance. But he (Mr. Canning) felt it his duty most positively to refuse entering into any negotiation with that gentleman on the subject of his mission. He could not acknowledge him in any diplomatic charact..• whatever. Besides which, that gentleman was the very person, of all others, from whom it would be most needful to conceal tl a particular information which would be dir. closed in the course of that discussion into which he proposed to enter. He had instructed the British resident in Buenos Ayres to object to the appointment of a Consul under such circumstances, feeling, as he thought with justice, that this country had a right to stand on as high ground as any e'er. The !loose could not but observe, that In our relations with the States of South America, theme was more of commerce than of politics, and that in those commercial relrtions there was a great deal of fluctuation and irregr lathy. Therefore those considerations were, he thought, suflicieat to show tbut no offence was intended to those States, when lw, acting under the impression of what he conceived to he his duty, and expressed a desiie that there should not be appointed British merchants as Consuls in this country. This Lc had communicated through the British Charge d'Affsircs, and he felt it the more his duty to press it, from the conviction that no neglect doing so would be attended with much disadvantage and inconvenience. On be , half of our Government he had taken the sonic measures cf which he recommended the adoption on the part of others. lie had strictly forbidden all the British Consuls abroad from entering into any mercantile pursuits, and lie would add, that if any were found transgressing these injunctions their removal would ensue, for to preserve our diplomatic relations whh the new States was In finitely a mere delicate tasic than to maintain them with those powers which were old and estabbstied." These were, as nearly as possible, the exprcssions used by Mr. CANNING on the evening of July sth. In order thoroughly to expose tl.e design of the anonymous libeller in the Chronicle, we subjoin the garbled extract he pur ports to make from the same spceell " lie had an additional reason to r_zret the Honourable Oen tleman's absence, as he understood t'-it he had alluded to another transaction, In which a Gentleman in partnership with a Commer cial House in the City, hall been appointed Consul-General for a Foreign State, and had called on him for the purpose of entering into a discussion of a very important question. lie, however, had positively refused to listen to him, or even to see him again in that capacity, such a discretion on his part being nothing more than acting on the pri•tcipie that every country has a right to refuse or accept the Ambas.adors sent to it. The new State -tight certainly persist in the cauree it had adopted, bet it was certainly very hard if England was to be forced descend from the higa ground cn arbleh it stood." - A A more egregious instance of misrepresentation cannot be found in the annals of literary fraud. In his commentary he improves on his text. Ile asserts, but withal moat respectfully, and in a spirit of good will,". that the true reason why Mt. CAN NI sa refused to receive the highly 1 " respectable merchant, appointed by the Government of Buenos Ayres as their COnsul-General in London, was the part he had taken in same fraudulent transactions con nected with a loan for a neighbouring smte. The whole charge is expressed in loose and vague langutge. It was not the business of this writer to be too definite; his ob ject was to be just so intelligible as would answer his pur poses of calumny, while he hoped to be sufficiently obscure to evade the reach of the law. Ile trill discover that he is mistaken in each of his designs. CITY, SATEIIDAf EVENING. The business done on the Stock Exchange this day was not ex tensive, and no great variation Can be noted either in British or Fo reign Public Securities. Consols opened at'Jll I, tell in ti.c course of the day to 91, but atlerwends improved a little, sad the market closed at nearly the opening price. Colombian and Mexican Bonds arc a shade lower than they were yesterday. His Majesty's ship Cygnet having soiled front Ful moath with depatches for Vera Crug, proluced en idea that some thing important must have occurred to have occasioned so unex pected a destination to this ship. The fact is, that the Cygnet had previously been ordered to sail to C'arthsgena with despatches , and his Majesty's ship the Retlpole was intended for Mexico; but as the latter vessel could not be got ready in time the Mexican de. patches were put on board the Cygnet, which is in consequence destined to Vera Cruz, calling at Carthagena on her par.sage, and landing there. the despatches for Colombia. On thc Stock Ex change these are always some whose interests induce them to mag nify into importance occurrences which otherwise would pass with out notice. Greek Bonds are one-half per cent. dearer ; but in the Scrip of the last Loan no business was done. In the Share Market little business has been done. The Anglo- Mexican Shares maintain their prices, and the same may be said of all those of established charactey. The Hayden Shares are the chief object of attraction, and a good many of them have been sold at a premiuM of from 1I to 21 per stare. The Projectors of Schemes for gfring employment to the money of their neighbours are extremely busy, and many notable plans are In contemplation for this purpose. It is now, however. not so easy to create an account in minor Associations, for speculators begin to perceive that what a small capital can reach, must always be better done by individuals than by a Joint-Stock Company. Hence the mortality amongst this description of plans must in. crease until none exist, save such as private fortunes are unable to contend with. Yesterday morning despatches were received at the Fo reign Office in Downing-street, from our Ambassador at Paris. _ . . The trade of Odessa was very considerable in the month of May. The exports amounted to 2,600,000 rubles-95 ships arrived in the port, among which were several Egyptian._ Letters from the Mores speak of the arrival of several Piedmmitese and so ne French Officers, who have quitted the service of the Pacha of Egypt, to offer their assistance to the Greeks. THE Meetros.—The Danish Journal, Ski Merle, in an article from Viborg, states, that the Spanish breed of sing' has been introduced into North Jutland. Professor Krai rup, at Veirum, introduced the breed on his estate some years ago, and has been so successful in his management, that he lately sold 63 stone (141 b, to the stone) of Spanish, at above 10 dollars banco per stone, to the woollen manu factory of Guldberg in this town. His flock amounts to 400 sheep. Other similar instances are given. LATE. ARRESTS AT ROME.—The Austrian Observer of July 12, gives the following account of the causes of the late arrests in the Papal dominions. We listen with great suspicion to these tales of the Carbonari. It is quite incon ceivable to us how such a society can continue to exist in • spite of the active pursuit of the Italian Governments. The public Journals have spoken of arrests that have lately taken place at Rome, and in other parts of the Pa pal territory. This measure had no direct political cause ; we say direct, because there was no positive plot, for it is to be umkrstood, of course, that Carbonarisin does not lay its character under any form. The attention of the Go vernment had long since been drawn to an association of Carbonari at Pesaro, which had assumed the name of Pellegrini branchi. This Society had some proselytes a! Rome, but only among she very lowest class. This success, however, only made it bolder, and it laid snares for the higher classes, but could take only one inexperienced young man. The brethren soon quarrelled among themselves, and dreadful excesses obliged the Government to interfere.— One of the persons seduced, seeing the abyss into which he had fallen, repented, and was murdered a few days after. The lot fell on a second to become th 3 murderer of one of their associates ; though the oath of the society bound him to the dreadful act, he refused to take it on himself. In consequence, an attempt to assassinate him was soon made. The Qnolidienne has a letter from Algesiras, under date of the Ist July, which says, " The Colombian corsairs arc continually multiplying on the coast of Andalusia. They burn all the vessels which fall into their hands." The King of the Netherlands has decided that the Phi losophical Collage for the education of the Roman Ca tholic Clergy shall be established at Louvain. The Arch bishop of Mechlin is appointed curator. The Brussels Journals record several instances of sudden death, occasioned by the excessive heat. On the *I of this month, there was a grand military parade on the field of Mars at St. Petersburg'', in presence of the Emperor of Russia, the Prince of Orange, and the', Prince of Saxe Weimar. On this occasion, the veterans ' who had served from 13 to 20 years, for the first time wore the braiding on the left arm, lately introduced. Tii %VE•THER IN PARIS.--Tile Small BTM of the Seine is nearly dried up. The bed of the river has the appearance cf a broad gutter, which, running between the buildings of the Hotel Dieu, necessarily serves as a re ceptacle for the impurities of this vast hospital. The water is back and muddy, and contains the most pestilent'al ;niasmeta. Nevertheless yeskrduy the water-carriers were seen drawing water from this infectious reservoir, and dis tributing thes to the inhabitants the germ of the most dis agreeable diseases. Such is the watchfulness of the Police, such the care they take•of the public health ! The citizens of Paris pay it sufficiently to have the right of insisting that the Police will deign to employ a part of it for a useful surveillance, and thereby fulfil its first duty, viz. that ofl watching over the sas:tary safety of the inhabitants. This neglect is the more reprehensible, as it is immediately under its eyes that the fact we have stated thus passes, and which may have such fatal results. The Prefect of Police, from the gate of his garden, may be a witness of the scene.—Consfilutiennel of Friday. TRADE. OF Livearoo!..--The arrivals of vessels from foreign ports, between Tuesday se'imight and Saturday morning last, were unusually numerous at this port ; they amounted to little short of 100 sail, exclusive of those which ehtue from Ireland and coastwise. The import of cotton from the United fttates, Brazil, and even from Por tugal, was unprecetlentedly great, amounting to between 40 and 30,000 bags and bales. Although the arrival of this immense quantity of cotton bail been anticipated by the speulators, yet its actual appearance in the port had the effect of depressing the market for several days, and of causing a slight reduction of price. A trifling reaction has since taken place, and holders, we are informed, retrain firm. All the docks are crowded, and the greatest bustk prevails along the quays. IRISH SPIRITUAL I'st:ea.—The Archbishop of Tuam, the Bishops of Cork, Cloyne, and Ferns, represent their Peen in the next Session of Parliament. Tirr ARCHBISHOP or DULL! N.—The Guild of Mer chants of Dublin were to assemble on Surday, at twelve o'clock, to prepare an Address to his Grace the Arch bishop of Dublin, thanking hi.n for his services to the Protestant cause, by his answers, when examined before the Committee of both Houses of Parliament. . ... M A RSIII ANY) Co. ' s BAN K RUPTC Y.—SA(IIIIW a meeting of the creditors was held at the Commission-vs . ' !Zooms, in Basitighall-street, when the creditors of Mr. Stracy and Mr. Graham were informed, that a dividend of 17 s. Gd. the pound would be paid on the private debts of the for , mer, and 2os. in the pound en the I:rivate debts of the latter. It is expected that in a few .ays a further diri den.l will be declared on the bankruptcy; this may, how ever, be prevented by the Bank of England, who have not vet relinquished their claims for Mr. Fauntleroy's for geries. The Bank are well aware that every objection is made to them ; but then, they say, that as guardians of the public property. they have a right to make that claim. Should they persevere, the dividend will not be paid, nor in fact, can the creditors be at all benefitted until the Direc tors decide, nt their meeting in October, what course they will pursue. •• U/11 ornannie majesty - 1 ingate me active, t...aptain lye '1)111;:••• msl inf part of the squadron on the Lisbon station, and whic Leer: sear to Algiers, anchored on its return in the roads of tCe 18th of this month. " On the arrival of this vessel,Captstn Arnow, nonvnandir •i HAT:VARKET The announce/nett of the performance of a musical burletta, at the liaymarkct Theatre, attracted a very ' numerous audience on Saturday last. Midas is a long , established favourite with the public—buy altogether, be cause of its splendid and beautiful music, for a more mea s n and meagre production in plot and language has, pe p , never been represented on any stags—without point, with outrha wit or humour, without even striking and effective scenery and decorations to make the absurdity of its concep tion pass current. It appears to us, as if the compfeer had endeavoured to prove how perfectly successful music of itself might be, and how completely it was independent of ; the aid of sense. The part of Justice Midas fell to the lot of Mr. Liston, who bas the happy art of making hit auditors pleased with whatever he undertakes. It is only necessary to give notice, that he is about to make his ap pearance before them to create a universal titter through the house, and he has only to show himself to change that Ititter into a burst of laughter and applause. He undoubt edly owes much of his success to his abilities ; but be cer tainly owes much more his name, his physiognomy, and to a something that is generally felt, but would be very 'difficult, to describe. In his enactment of Justice ,Ifidas he was certainly inferir to W. Farren, and the audience seemed by no means so satisfied with his performance as when, on other occasions, as Billy Lackaday, Apollo Delhi, or insome characters better suited to his powers, he has almost " cracked the cheeks" of his admirers. M edam eVcstris, with excellence, performed the character of Apollo, and sung in ; exquisite style. She was loudly and generally encored in " Pray Goody." The other parts in the piece were well sus tained but it by no means producel the effect we presume the managers anticipated in this departure from what we may perhaps term the more legitimate object of " the Little Theatre :n the Haymarket." The piece was preceded by Sheritlan's comedy of The,Birals, in which the admirable acting of Mrs. Glover a Mrs. Malaprop, and W. Farren as Sir Anthony Absolute, almost realised our idtas of dra matic perfectum. Mr. Vining sustained the character of Captain Absolute. From our knowledge of the improve ment this young actor has made within a comparatively short period, we are justified in anticipating his future ex cellence. Mr. Lee was the Sir Lucius ('Trigger of the play, but he seems to have forgotten his brogue, and was by no means what Mr. Sheridan intended the Irishman of . Blunderbuss-hall to have been. The Acres of Mr. Liston is not his favourite character ; and we believe he is him self aware that ia others he appears to greater advantage. Mis. Davison was admirable in Julia , but we cannot corn pliment Mrs. Hamby on her enactment of Lydia Languish: she was anything but a languishing Lydia, and, to our mind, had not the slightest conception of the part ; indeed it is not at all calculated to display her talents, which are those of a sly chamlxrtnaid or a giddy hoyden, rather than those of a sentimental, love-sick, and capricious maiden of seventeen.

After the glorious victory of Aliaulis et Alialon, Conduriniti had prepared every thing to strike a decisive blow for he purpose of raising the siege of Navarinn, when the c hi e f and the soldiers, (instigated by t h e secret agents of Capitants), unexpectedly refused obedience, and declared they would not fight any more till Colocotroni and his partieians were restored to liberty, and again at their head. As all remonstrances were vain, wrid Can. deriot , i himself was personally threatened, the attack was not modes Navarino capitulated, and the government, reduced to the most eni. barra.ssing condition, was obliged to yield to the Aloreotes, in order not to sacrifice the whole of the Morn.
