His Holiness --.. me nights in a painful want of sleep. It is feared that his disorder proceeds front a scorbutic humour. Another sum of 189.0eU francs has been granted by the Minis ter of ttte Interior fot the inhabitants of Saline : the first sum sent to the prefect of the Jura was *PAW francs. His Excellency has also ranted 3900 francs to the unforteoste persons bitten by a mad wolf In the department of the Aube. The Spanish Revolutiorf.sts at Tangier continue to conspire against their country. These ardent apostles of liberation have placed themselves under the protection of his Majesty the Emperor of Morocco, who causes relief to be sent to them. Among the friends of liberty and equality who support with the most zeal and I success the manoeuvres of these sincere partisans of the Canaille tional system, the Paths of Tangier Is particularly distinguished. The Consul of the King of Spain has in vain endeavoured to ob tain the expulsion of these good ratriots. They continue freely to correspond by way of (iibraltar with the Colombians. whose vessels cruise is the Straits, and they use all their efforts to excite to revolt the garrison of Ceuta, as well as the galley slaves is that place. Emissaries from Ceuta place themselves under the protec tion of the Moors at Tangier, in spite of the treaties relative to deserters, and go and concert with their brethren and friends, wits endeavour to demonstrate to the liberal Sovereign of Morocco, the immense advantages that he will derive from the neighbourhood of the Colombian Republicans if they succeed in making themselves masters of that Spanish possession. [lron the Quosidinsise of Eridar.l MADRID, SEPT. 31. An extraordinary courier, sent by General Eguia, commanding the army in Galicia, has brought the news of the sailing of the ex pedition for th'e Ilavrnnah on the 26th September. The letters of the 24th stated that the troops, 3,000 in number, were embarked, and that the convoy, consisting of three brings and two frigates (the Iberia and Leaks), waited only for a favourable wind. The nomination of General Crux 4 succeed the present Go vernor of the Ifavannah is not confirmed. Every body is glad that this change has not been made, for it is impossible to behave with more prudence than General Vives, who is esteemed by all the inhabitants of Cuba. It is said that Father Cyrillo, General of the Franciscans, (and one of the Members of the new Junta) has advised to prohibit the admission of novices into the religious orders, and to suppress the convents in which there is but a small number of Monks. It is even added that this reform ban already been ordered by him in the order of which he is the chief. FIRENCH FUNDs.—PARIS.

The Roman Papers state, as a report, that" the Cabinet of the Tuileries has offered to the Roman Court its media tion with respect to the Concordat which it desires to con chide with the new States in America;" and it expresses an opinion, founded on the " conciliatory disposition of the Holy See," that a satisfactory arrangement will be made. It is, we think, very probable, that the French Ministry will readily endeavour to avail themselves of an opportu nity so favourable as this appears to be, to mix themselves up with the affairs of the new American States. Such a negotiation would open an almost boundless field for the operations of that talent in the art of diplomatic intrigue on which the French justly pride themselves. We have no doubt that the Governments of the new States will re ject the mediation of the Court of the Tuileries, if it should be offered, until at least that Court shall have made a for mal recognition of their independence. By the Dublin papers of Friday, from which extracts will be found in ar.other column, it appears that Ireland is still suffering from the system of turbulence and outrage on which the misguided peasantry are acting in the remote districts. The only difference between the state of Ireland now and some time ago, is that the pi inciple of disorder and mischief has taken a new direction, and instead of aiming its force against the public authorities, it now ex pends itself in riotous conflicts between the local factions into which the population divide themselves. This spirit, whatever shape it may assume, must be utterly quelled before any advance can he made in the promotion of the public welfare. Tranquillity is primarily and absolutely essential to the improvement of the country. The Roman Catholics are bolding their aggregate meet ings in the provinces; but though every effort is made to render them of public importance, by filling the lifornio . :r Register (the chosen organ of the party) with accounts of the proceedings from the " special reporter," who is employed to record tliedspeeclies delivered on these occasions, the dis plays seem to fail altogether of effect. The union of the Ca tholics is at an end, at least for the present. The leaders, who were recently lauding each other as paragons of pub lic virtue and " superhuman" talent, are now busily em ployed in proving how little they deserve the confidence which lately they called upon their countrymen to repose in them. The Editor of the Dublin Evening Post, in his Paper of Thursday, describes the state of the party in the following words:— " The last association was respected and feared. Why ? Because, as am acknowledged by Mr. Peel himself, there was no serious difference among them. The utility of the present will be de stroyed, and it will perish like the Catholic Board, if the Catholics of Ireland, and if, above all, those persons who take a lead in the proceedings, shall not agree to sacrifice all selfish, all personal feel. ings, upon the altar of their common cause. We admit, at once, that there is much to forgive, and many recollections to be buried, if poasible, in silence." A curious omission or blunder occurred at the aggregate meeting of the Catholics of the county of Roscommon on Monday last. Among the resolutions prepared by the Managing Committee to be submitted to the meeting *as one of thanks to the Marquis WsLLEBI FY, for the impar tiality with which the laws have been administered under his government. Through some inadvertence or other cause, this resolution was never brought forward, and it became a question afterwards whether it should be in cluded in the series published as that approved by the meeting. The following letter, addressed by the Chair man, O'Coxoa Dox, to the Editor of the Dublin Morn ing Register, was written in reply to an application to him regarding this strange and characteristic transaction : " DEAR SIR—I have much to regret that a vote uf thanks to the Martinis Wellesley, for the impartiality with which the laws have been administered in this country, since his arrival in Ireland, was, through some omission on the part of the Gentleman who pre pared it, not submitted to the Meeting at Roscommon, on Monday " BALANACIARE, OCT. 12, 182% " His Excellency's conduct has been so different from that of the Governors of Ireland who preceded him, that I consider the omission a misfortune. I find, by letters I received last night, that our Secretary, Mr. Comp), desired your reporter not to publish the Resolutions which nere given to him for publication, until you heard from me on the subject; and many of the Gendernen who took an active part in the proceedings of the day, re_ quested me to send to you the resolution of thanks to his Ex cellency, to be publish:4l with the others. There is no wan regrets this anifortunate omission more than I do; yet I feel that could not, with propriety, afEx my signature to a resolution, as having passotl at the meeting, which Wile not proposed at it. and I am, solely on that account, with the greatest reg ret, obliged t o de cline sending it to you. The Committee, who are to meet here In &Sew days, to prepare petitions to Parliament, its, perhaps devise some mode M . correcting this error, but without thou advice and assistance, I cannot venture to attempt it. " I au:, dear sir, your humble servant. " LMONOR DUN." i .~ mistaking their means of doing good ; when they thus act wrong from right motives, much is to be said for them in the way of apology, even while we are suffering from their imbecility or their rashness. In the common concerns of the world, this evil seldom extends far; but in religious con cerns, which affect the deepest interests of society, and which are intimately interwoven with our sam of happi ness or misery in this life and in the life to come, it be hoves us to watch attentively what is going on, and to observe by what means those who take any class of ' society under their spiritual direction, purpose to discharge the arduous task they impose upon themselves. It is with reference to this view of the subject that we revett to the proceedings of the BETHIL UNION. When we consider that all those who have devoted themselves—Or been devoted by their parents—to the sea service, were brought up in a country blessed, as ours is, with all the means of religious education—with an esta blished church appointed, throughout the nation, with ap proved public teachers, by whom the precepts of chris tianity, and the whole word of God, are taught in every town—in every parish—in every village—and where vice is restrained by the police, and crimes punished by the laws —we cannot help suspecting that there is great exaggeration in the wording of all the spiritual Bulletins in which the Bethel physicians send forth such frightful reports of the state of the sailors' souls, and their utter ignorance, hitherto, of all the means of salvation. We really doubt very much whether—taken as a body—our sailors are worse than any other class of persons on the same level. But judging from the accounts given of all those who have been converted under the Beth , l . flag, one would actually imagine they had been born and brought up in a nation of heathens ; that in England we worshipped the sun, moon, and stars ; and that but for the new contrivance of floating chapels, their spiritual condition would be hopeless. If, however, it be true that our seamen have been hi therto without the means of knowing their duty as men and as Christians, assuredly we shall never object to any ' mode by which they can be brought to learn it, and to live suitably to it. We would most anxiously praise and up hold every Society—under whatever name it may be known—which tends to the religious improvement of any class of men to whom the means of knowledge have not been sufficiently extended. But what we contend against is, the presumptuous interference of self-constituted Socie ties with those spiritual concerns in which a rash and igno rant interrneddling may—and not only may, but in the wild course they are pursuing, must—lead to evils incalcu lable. We have no objection in the abstract to .//oating chapels. Let the world of waters be covered with them, if you will,from the THAMES to the PACIFIC, but do not make them the schools of fanaticism. Preaching is valuable only in proportion as it is practically useful, and it is prac tically useful only as it prepares us for the proper discharge of the duties of life. Religion has its foun dation in justice, in benevolence, in uprightness, in purity of mind, in goodness of heart. Teach men this and you do well. Teach them that every benevolent action by which they make others happy, is an act of ge nuine piety, and that that disposition which inclines them to do good is the truly evangelical. Teach them lb* and your labours, whether by sea or land, will be pr , ifirable, and you may come confidently forward, and ask sub scriptions and donations from the public in aid of your exertions. But iss teach our seamen, under the avowed pretext of turning them to the Lord, that their country makes no account of them, but considers them as merely made to he slaughtered that the rest of the community may live in ease and comfort—that " they have been treated as if they were broils and not men !—that they have been employed to do the drudgery of the world, and Men cast ff'as unfit . for human society"—thus to ex cite within them a feeling of jealous hatred towards the great body of their countrymen—sure we are, that there is nothing of vital godlincis to be wrought out of this sort of exhortation. To denounce all employment on the Sabbath, on the part of sailors, as sinful, and to alarm them, for the state af their souls in the other world, if they work in this on the Lord's day, is a doctrine which, if once spread through the navy, will loosen the wooden walls of Old England to their foundation. The battle of Taaret.CAa, if we re collect right, was gained on a Sunday. What would have become of NELSON at that crisis, with a fleet of Ilexitxx Puritans? If ENGLAND hereafter must expect " every man to do his duty" six days only in the week, and sacri fice his country to his dread of Sabbath-breaking on the seventh, our enemies in any future war will not neglect to profit by the piety of the BETHEL flag. They will se cure their victories by the Almanack. No man of sound mind will undervalue the observance of those duties to which the seventh day is more peculiarly devoted. But spiritual worship, in its essence, is nor an affair of days and timer, and it is grossly misleading sea men, or any other m►n, so to represent it. It is the fidelity with which we fulfil the daily duties of life, that alone makes us truly acceptable to that Being 'who has placed us here; it is His will that we should co-operate—each in his sphere of usefulness—in promoting the common good of the whole. It is in so doing that "we worship him in spirit and in truth." The common business of life could not go on if we had to contend at every turn with all the pharisaic scruples of those—and there are enough of them —who would stickle to the last for the "finittof godliness," while they make no account of the substance. Why does the law permit milk and mackerel to be sold on a Sunday? why, because they wont keep. A Bethel S'aiat would say, " better that all the mackerel should be tainted, and all the milk turn sour, than the Lord's :lay be profaned." But the Lord's day is not profaned, and they would much more profane it who should deprive the poor of the sale of their Saturday's labour, by compelling them to throw the produce of it on the dunghill, and thus defraud both the wants of others and their own. Persons who chance to travel by stage-voucher on a Sunday, are not necessarily worse, that we know of, than those who use the cheaper conveyance of steam-packets. And yet the "Sailors* Ma gazine," the great organ of the Bethel Union, describes the STEAM-PACKETS and GREENWICH BOATS as if they pre sented a scene of abomination that would not be ill requited by a shower of fire ftom heaven. The description really makes every hair of our head " To stand on end, Like quills" &c. --- It in throughout so curious a sample of the t,•rriffu• and of the shameless contempt of truth and matter f Act which their tracts so perpetually exhibit, that we think it worth while to set it out at full length on the record. We have therefore given it entire in another part of our columns. The &Mel preachers would do well, in their zeal for the "salvation of sailors," to attend a little to their own duty, as the subjects of the government under which they live. Their political doctrine, we would just hint to them, very ill accords with their spiritual functions. Neither the sai- lOW -~'~''~ = -3 lora' souls, nor the puldlc safety, are likely to be improved by the pains which they are takinfe, at every opportunity, toinflaine the minds of seamen against the impress s Trice. If, in the abundance of their wisdom, they could suggest any plan by which our navy might be manned in time of war, we most willingly admit that they would render a real and lasting service to the State, and the cause of free dom and humanity would be greatly their debtor ; in the mean time, it is quite out of their special province, as Evan gelical reformers, to give circulation among the sailors to sentiments which can have no other effect than to excite , them to mutiny against a system which, often as it lr.s been brought under the c'nsideration of government, it has not yet been found possible to remedy. The space to which we arc necessarily restricted obliges us to abstain from touching, at present, upon various topics connected with this important subject, to which we shall speedily call the attention of the public. CITY, SATURDAY EVENING. Saturday is generally an inactive day en the Stock Ex changes, and particularly so when it follows a settling day. Our readers may therefore easily judge of the inac tivity of to-day, preceded, as it was, by two settlements, viz.—that in Consols on Thursday, and in Foreign Stocks on Friday. The Markets were nearly in a dormant state, and the nominal prices were about the same as those at which bargains were done on the previous day. We have it in our 'power, however, to mention one importan. and satisfactory fact connected with Stock Exchange transac tions ; viz.—the payment of Ws. in the pound by two highly respectable brokers, who could not on a former settling day in the Foreign Market meet their differences by reason of the desertion of their principals. These mem bers having only required a short time to make arrange ' ments for surmounting the difficulties that other parties had drawn them into, have now, in the most prompt and honourable manner, paid in full every demand upon them. We forbore at the time that we announced their embarrass ment, from motives of delicacy, to mention their namts ; and the same reason now operates with us in withholding them. Airric Emmalux.—A letter from Aberdees, Jam"( on Thursday, states that Captain Parry had just passed through that city on his way to London. No particulars respecting his expedition hail transpired ; but it was un derstood that his consort ship had been lost on the ice; the crew happily were all saved. We learn that private accounts have arrived from India, confirming our hopes of a speedy termination of hostilities, and stating further, that the Burmese have agreed to pay all the expenses to which the Company have been put on account of the war. A letter (tom Madrid of the 30th of September states, that a commission has been appointed under the state junta, to inquire into the amount of money actually re ceived by the Government in consequence of the loans ne gotiated by the Cortes. There are letters in town from Bogota, which state, that M. Ravengs, the Minister of Finance, and lately the Co lombian Resident in this country, has expressed himself warmly in favour of an alteration an the Colombian import duties, which are now very heavy, and very unfairly levi,d. M. Ravenga during his residence here having acquired much practical knowledge, and very liberal ideas, and being a particular friend of Bolivar, we may expect many con cessions in favour of British commerce. The German Papers state that the greater part of the Neapolitan exiles in Rome have received permission from their Sovereign to return to their own country. They return with " the reputation of good and peaceable be haviour." A private letter from Paris states, that the Haytian Commissioners are about to raise a loan of ninety millions of francs; thirty millions will be required immediately, and the remainder in two years, for which new biddings are to be made. It is their intention to receive sealed pro posals. Messrs. Lafitte and Rothschild, we understand, have refused to have any thing to do with it. Paris is every day receiving embellishments from new buildings. Messrs. Cor and Sirigaudelles, bankers, have just become possessed of Boulainvilliers market, situated near the Pont-royal, and in the neighbourhood of all the govt nment offices, between the Bac, Beaune, Vcrneuil, and Bourbon streets. The huge building and paltry stalls which disfigure the interior of the markt-, are to give place to elegant shops, and in the centre, four pavilions, adorned with arcades, are to be raised. The execution of this im portant renovation is confided to Messrs. Guillaume and Everat, architects.—Farix Paper. It was remarked on the coronation of the Empress of Austria,' as Queen of Hungary, that there had been ten Kings and five Querns crowned at Presburg &nee 1563. The lut coronation took place on the 7th September, 1808, when the ceremony was performed for the Empress Maria- Louisa, the third wife of his present Maj'_•sty. She died in 1816. The large timber ship, Baron of Renfrew, was on shore on Friday night on the Longsand, but expected to be got STEAM NAVIGATION OF THZ RIITNE.—The Cram! Duke of Baden has granted letters patent for the founda tion of a " Baden Association for Navigation by Steam," to Thron Cotta, of Stuttgardt, Mr. Church, American Consul, and Mr. Kissling, merchant at Itastadt. The preamble observes that though the advantages of steam boats are evident, it must be manifest that several incon ••eniences will arise from the introduction of it, such as are inseparable from every new invention, the progress of which cannot be arrested, and which materially affects the interests of older establishments. Thus boatmen on the Rhine must be sufferers by the introduction of steam boats. To remedy this, the new• Company is bound to offer one-third of the shares to the Baden boatmen on the Rhine, and likewise to employ them on hoard the steam boats in preference to strangers. The State Treasury of Connecticut has been entered by robbers, and plundered of one dollar and .1(ply-eight cents. The robbers left behind them a large crow-bar, iron wedge, two chisels, two lamps, and a tinder box! Which was the gainer in this transaction—the thief or the State ? Anirrican Paper. We regret to add to the other bank failures mentioned in our last, the firm of Messrs. Harvey and Son, of Laun ceston, which stopped payment on Mouday.—Plyntoutli Journal. SPANJAII LAw.—A number of curious questions, and amongst them the following is one, are daily presented by the introduction of the Florida, as an integral part of :he United States, resulting from the conflicting rights and duties allowed by the Spanish and American laws. With regard to marriages that took place before incorporation of the Floridas, a late Act of that Government provides that in all such cases, " All the rights and privileges of husband end wife, established or derived by marriage under the civil laws of Sp a in w hit e t hi s ter ritory was under the Jurisdiction of that Government, shall be held, pte.sessed and exercised by the husband and wife respectively, in this territory, and each shall ba permitted to sell, waxed to, dis pose of, and convey by sale, devise or will, their goods, chattels, lands and tenements, in the same manner as they could or might have done under Ike laws of Spain, observing oaly the formalities of conv4ance required by any other laws established, or which may hereafter be established in this territory." We learn they, from this fact, that, according to the Spanish laws, the husband anti wife are each allowed to succeed to, dispose of by sale, devise or will, goods, chat des, lands and tenements, independent of each other. liattininre A merican. Cadiz has decreased so much in population al to render it necessary to reduce to six the seventeen districts of police into which it was formerly divided. •The purchases of stock by the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund have been considerably reduced, not amount ing to more than 10,000/. daily, which, as they only pur chase on four days of the week, makes the annual amount of the Sinking Fund little more than 2,000,000:. The surplus is to be applind, we understand, to the redemption of a portion of the Exchequer Bills deposited at the Bank, representing the excess of the payments for the dividends over the receipts fvoin the Exchequer. WINDSOR, SUNDAY, Ocr. 16. This morning his Majesty, accompanied by the Duke of Cumberland, heard divine service in the New (lupe', 6 the Royal Lodge. The service was performed by the Rev. Dr. Sumner.

It is uo uncommon case for men to do much harm by THE DUBLIN THEATRE. Mr. Abbott opened the Theatre last night, for privat e exhibition to his friends and those of the establishment, who, after viewing the improvements made in the audience part of the house during the recess, were entertained with some good music and singing, and a variety of choice and elegant refreshments in the Saloon. 'fhe centre panels of the boxes are painted Dutch yellow, which is much relieved ant set off by a broad border of very fine French green ; and the beautiful mouldings and ornaments have been all newly and richly gilt. In the proscenium, which has also been re touched, a delicate green and yellow (the latter much paler than formerly) predominate. The stage doors are white and gold, but they are unfortunately surrounded by a glar ing red, which, by its want of keeping with the other colours of the house, dt tracts considerably from the general effect. The grand improvement, however, is ' the lighting, than which nothing can be more beauti ful or perteet. The chandeliers are numerous, rich, ' and elegant, each having three oil gas-burners enclosed in small round glass globes. There globes soften the light, and d:stribute its rays in the most steady, equal, and agree. able manner ima r tinable. The whole character of the changes is tasteful and pleasing ; and it must be confessed, that ltfr. Ahbot has been very active during his short vacation. He contributed to the amusement of the cog panv last night (amongst whom we observed many pu. sons of fashion, and several officers of rank) by singing a comic song, which was highly relished and applAto ded. The regular performat,ces for the season corn. mence on Saturday with the play of Miro-Icy ; antl we can contradict, from authority, the report burly circulated of Miss Paton being engaged here timing the present season. Mr. Braham's engagement will tali:" place immediately, and there will be given, in succession, the talents of various auxiliaries. The managers have much novely in preparation, of which opera will form a pre minent Lature. It is understood Mr. Phillips remains in Dublin during the winter, on an engagement to different pupils, and will peform a limited number of nights at the theatre: we know not whit n he will appear with Mr. Bra. ham, but that conjunction was highly advantageous to the manager on a former occasion, and will, no doubt, prove so at present. There is a considerable strength in the operatic department, and Miss Porde is completely reco vered front her late illness : there is no female singer on the English stage possessed of a finer voice than this young lady. The report of Munden's and R. Jones's engagement is without foundation. Indeed there are more erroneous public reports in circulation on theatrical than perhaps elk any other subject.—Freeman's .Journal yf Fealoy. On Saturday morning the Duke and Duchess of Cla rence Arrived at their temporary residence in Charles -street, Berkeley-square, from Bushy. Their Royal Highnesses returned to Bushy in the afternoon. The Duchess of Clarence paid a visit to the Duchess of Kent on Saturday, at her apartments at the King: l'alace, Kensington. The Royal Duchesses partook of a dejeune, and afterwards took an airing, attended by Ilaroness 11e1,- staine. The Duchess of Kent honoured the Haymarket Theatre with her presence on Friday evening.

Prince Itasoumoffsky left thz Saint Petersburgh Hotel, Dover-street, on Saturday, in his travelling carriage, to dine with his Majesty at Windsor. The Princess did not accom pany his Highness, owing to indisposition. The common topic of conversation in the law circles is the intention of Chief Justice Abbott to resign. The in defatigable industry of that Learned Judge has produced a visible effieet upon his health. Illness has been gradually increasing. Rumour says his Lordship's successor on the Bench will be the Attorney-General. On the 52Sth ins;. the Lord Chief-Justice will sit in the Court of King's Bench, ‘Vestminster.—Evening Paper.

MANtrACTURES IN Ecvrr.—By recent accounts which have been received from Egypt, it appears that the Paella of that country, long known to he a man of great wad!), has been of late years silently making greatstridts to estab lish manufactures among his people, and to wean a large portion of them from their predatory habits. It was this Pacha who first encouraged Belzoni to visit Egypt, and erect hydraulic engines for watering his gardens. We now find that lie has imported a large quantity of European ma chinery and established manufactories of silk, broad cloth, and cotton, so as already to turn the balance of trade in his favour. Owing to our late prohibitory laws against the export of machinery, the Pacha has procured must of his machines from France, and for that reason the French in or,st has rather predominated with him ; but latterly he has obtained a few English engineers, who were at the end of last August busily at work on the banks of the The Pacha has a stupendous project in view, which is no less than the cutting of a canal between Cairo and and diverting the traffic of the East Indies from the Inilist; Ocean via the Red Sea and the Mediterranean.
