The Etoile of Sunday announces the conclusion of a treaty of peace between this country and the Dey of Aigiers, on the 2341 ult., and that, in consequence of this event, the blockade was raised on the 26th. This intelli gene.: is stated to have he on received at Marseilles, on the instant, by an English schooner. It is highly credible t!.at this piratical despot has been again compelled to sue t_r mercy: his power could no n.ore survive a strictly enforced blockade for six months, than he could with st.ted the memorable chastinemeet he sustained in the bombardment of Lord Eetrouth. The Dey's revenue is prir•.cipaliy derived from the foreign commerce of the port ; if the bloclezdc, therefore, had been continued, he must soon have tecnine Istitute of resources, and his life would arena: probably have been sacrificed by his mutinous troops to his ill-judged obstinacy. We hope, if the event has taken place which we are ccntcmplating, that such terms have been imposed al, coupled with the consciousness of :Isis inability to resist our power, may overawe this barba rian into future aditercuce to his faith. No official con- Era:titian of this intelligence had been received yesterday by his Majesty's Government. By a private letter from Java we learn, that the Dutch authorities in Ow island have suddenly imposed an addi tional and almost prohibitory duty on the importation of British goods. Formerly the duty was nominally 13 per cent. ad valorens ; but as it was the practice to levy the duty after raising the invoice price by an addition of one third of its amount, the duty was actually about 16 per cent. The Dutch authorities have now laid on a duty of Os per cent., to be levied not upon the invoice price, but upon an official rate of valustion, which is estimated so much above the real value of the goods that the duty in fact extorted approaches nearly to So per cent. The result :It. that ships, which had left this country on the faith of :he former regulation. have been obliged to sail for B. esolf a, and at a great loss trans-ship their freight for Cal cutta or some other port, where they hope to find a market. By the treaty concluded with the Netherlands in March last. it was stipulated that the British and Dutch Govern ments should reciprocally permit their subjects to trade with the colonies of either power, and that only au addi tianal duty, not exceeding 6 per via., should be imposed ,in goods imported in vessels not htlooging to the nation possessing the colony. Falk, the Dutch Minister, who ~secluded the treaty oa the part of his Government, is, we understand, attempting to justify the authorities of Java, by tAtstruing the text of that docutmut in a way suitable to that oldat, but the sense of the pausge is obviously very different from the Interpretation which he wishes to make it appear to convey. On Friday a deputation df the Gentlemen connected with the Indian trade waited on Mr. Canning. to complain of this grievance ; and we Lace no doubt that redress will specaily be obtained. We understand that it has been formally the Portuguese Ambassador to Mr. Canning, that the Go vernment of his Most Faithful Majesty have overcome the dangers by which the King's authority was menaced, and consequently that the aid some time ago solicited from this country will not be needed. We are unfeignedly glad that the King of Portugal feels himself in that state of security which will enable him to dispense with foreign assistance. Interference in the'internal affairs of other nations, how ever close and intimate the ties of alliance by which they lug bound together, can be justified only by the occurrence of a very extraordinary case. There can be no Goubt, how ever, we thick, that the crisis in Portu,ual was such as would have warranted the British Government to have given its aid to his Most Faithful Majesty, if he had con tinued to desire it. But within a few years we have wit nessed several invasions of national independence, against which the British Government has felt itself bound solemnly to protest. A gigantic system has been established, I for the avowed purpose of preverßing such internal changes in the states of Europe as may be disapproved by three or four great Powers. The British Government declined ac ceding to this confederacy when it was formed, and has twice been obliged, in the face of the world, to proclaim its condem nation of the principles on which the confederacy has acted. One of the objects most desired by the allied Sovereigns has been the sanction and countenance of England. When, therefore, a case arose in which it appeared likely that this country would be rt quircd to interfere, by military force, in the affairs of another, though the principles and pur poses were wholly dissimilar, it became a matter of great "delicacy and difficulty to determine how far the British Government should have recourse to a measure which seemed, however remotely, to resemble the conduct against which its solemn protests stands upon record. We are decidedly of opinion that if the perils to which our firm and ancient ally was exposed could not have been over come without British aid, it was the duty of the British Governmct•.t to have given it, at every hazard of miscon struction. But it must have been a painful necessity alone that could have driven us to have afforded the succour required!. We heartily rejoice, therefore, that we are spared the sacrifice of our feelings, and the risk of misre presentation, and that the King of Portugal has succeeded in consolidating his authority by his own domestic power. The peace of Europe will be longest preserved by the for bearance of which this country has in this instance given so bright an example. We are still unmixed with the policy of the Holy Alliance, as, indeed, we should have been if we had yielded t 3 the urgent solicitations of our ally; but this is not all, by the contrast of our reluctance to in terfere in the internal concerns of a kingdom, the Sovereign of which was compelled to take refuge on board a British man of war, we have practically rebuked those who con curred in the hostile invasion of an adjoining kingdom, in which no personal insult had been offered to the reigning Monarch. announced by The Duke and Duchess of Clarence came to town yester day morning front Bushy. Their Royal Highnesses paid a visit to the Princess Sophia, at Kensington, and returned to Bushy in the afternoon. The Earl and Countess of Liverpool did not proceed di rect on Saturday morning from their seat at Coombe Wood, near Kingston, Surrey, for Weimer Castle, but hod arranged to go on a tour for a short time previous to their anis al there. The Noble Earl and Countess have gone to Southampton, and from thence they are to cross to the Isle of Wight, and continue on their trip for about a week previous to their arrival at iValmer Castle. The do inestia of the Noble Earl and Countess left town yesterday mottling. Their domestics at Coombe Wood also left that place to be in readiness to receive the Earl and Countess at Walnter Castle.

Thursday his Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury ar rived at Ramsgate. The same evening Lord Pomfret and suite passed through Canterbury, and proceeded to Dover, for the Continent. The Marquis of Salisbury has taken an elegant house in Hanover-square, the late residence of the Dowager Marchioness of Dornsbire. We understand that the Vice-Chancellor is at present labouring under a distressing complaint , and that his Honour will shortly undergo the operation of lithotomy. Anenuistior or Mau N.—We feel great grati fication in being able to state, that his Grace is so far re covered from the effects of the late accident which occurred to him. that he was enabled, on Thursday morning, to get into his carriage and repair to his country scat, Tetnple ogue.—Dublia Paper. Viscount Ebrington, M.P. has arrived at Waterford, from England. There is no truth whatever in the report (says a Dublin paper), that Lord Ormond's Irish estates are to be sold. It is an crrcr to suppose that Lord Ormond's Irish estates arc to be brought to the hammer. The mistake has arisen from the intruded sale of the English estates, under the provision of the Bill which recently received the Royal Assent.—Cork Authern llern-ter.

CATHOLIC EMANCIPATION.—WC have it from a source we can rely on, that out of twenty-eight, comprising the Parliamentary Committee on the affairs of Ireland, it is the decided opinion of twenty-two of' them, that the best means' of tranquillizing and of' ultimately giving peace and quiet to this country, is by granting Catholic Emancipation ; and that this opinion has been entered on the minutes, and signed, preparatory to its being laid before the House on the ep.nliog of the next Sasion.—Lisneriek Erening Purl.

BRIG lITON, MONDAY, AUGUST 9. The Duke of York continues at the Pavilion, and lives, as usual, in retirement. His Royal Highness sees a select ; party of friends each evening, and enjoys a game of whist until a pretty advanced hour. It is said that Fuze sums have been lost and won ; but this rests so much upon mere rumour, that little credit is due tc it. IL is the intention of , his Royal Highness to leave Brighton on ISrednesday for` Windsor, where he intends to remain for a few days on s visit to his illustrious brother. The Duke and Duchess of Richmond, Lord George Lenox, Lord Alvanley, Lord Thurlow, the Ladies Paget, Mr. Evelyn, M.P. and wary families of high rank are at , • present sojourning here. They all attended the ball which was held at Lewes on Friday, where upwards of three' hundred fashionable: were present. The ball at Brighton was not equally well attended. The Chain-pier and the! Swine continue to be thronged daily with visitors from London ; and the libraries, as usual, arc the lounge of the' evening, where, after flaking a couple of pounds, a prize of the nominal value of eight shillings may be lit upon by' some fortunate adventurer in a species of card-lottery that is carried on, to the nu small edification of the numerous ladies who frequent them. The town is as full as almost at any pet iod of the King's residence here. The inter course is, within these few months, greatly increased be tween this town and the metropolis, which may be esti mated from the circumstance, that scarce a single vacant seat is to be found in any of the twenty or thirty coaches that daily depart and arrive. the Pri Dome, Atoesr B.—His Royal Highness _ince e. Saxe Coburg reached this place at half-past ten o'clock last night, and having come by the way of Ramsgate, where he had been to take leave of his sister the Duchess of Kent, his Royal Highness alighted from his travelling chariot at the foot of the Castle Hill, and stalked through the town to Wright's Hotel, where his Royal highness took supper and slept. At day-break a salute was fired from the guns at the heights, and at half-past nine this morning his Royal Highness embarked on board his Majesty'. packet the Spitfire, which left the harbour for Calais amidst the huzzas of the multitude assembled, and an other salute from the Redoubt Battery. The Spanish Ambassador is expected every moment to embark in his Majesty's packet the Fury for Calais. Mr. Rothschild and Mr. Baring were both at Wright's Hotel to-day, the for-' met to meet his Lady on her arrival from the Continent. PLYMOUTH ItLGATTA.—TIie Regatta took place on Tuesday and Wednesday, and exhibited, on the first day, much interest,—four silver cups or goblets were sailed for by gentlemen's yatches. For the tirst prize six vessels started, and the cup was awarded to the Member for An dovcr—Jack-ei-Lanthorn, though the third vessel in ; the two first, Mr. Wilde's Arrow, and Mr. Maxey's Sabrina, having ran foul of each other. The second cup was won by Mr. Weld's Julia, beating Guilia, Emerald, Mary Yawl, Sylph, and Lord of the Isles. The third cup was won by Captain Lockycr's lktsey, beating the Woodcock and Princess Charlotte yawls. The fourth cup was won by Mr. Harris's Anne, of Stonchouse, beating three others. Tile second day's presented only a rowing match, ot which was conteste d in boats rowed by women • some jealousies or misunderstanding prevented the b oatmen stepping forward. SOUT lin urOM, Aro. 7.—The theatre opened on Mon day with the iron Chest, in which appeared Mr. Betty, the once famed Young Roscins, as Sir Edward Mortinter.- 1 Many visitors have this week taken up their abode in this town, and we expect a great accession to our numbers eta the races begin, which have been postponed until Thurs day and Friday next. A new piece, called The ilhwid, or The Secrets of Office, is to be produced to-night for the first time at the Hay market theatre. It is from the pen of Mr. Kenney, tbe author of Sweethearts and Wives, Raising- the Wind, ire. Miss Paton, Madame Vestris, Mr. Liston, and Mr. W. Farren, are in the cast. A character, we believe, was assignee% to Miss Love; but that Lady being slightly in disposed, Mrs. Garrick takes the part for the present. Miss Chester, by the advice of Dr. Philip, is gone into the country for ten days, to recruit her health. Mts. Chatterley will assume her pars in Sweethearts and Wives during her short secession front the stage. VAUXHALL GARDENS.—TheTC can be no greater proof . ' of' the high popularity of this delightful place, than the fact of its being crowded last evening, though so near the! most attractive night of the season, Thursday next, the memorable 12th of August. We notice that the proprietors' close the Gardens on Wednesday, in order, we presume,' that they may give greater effect to the [Loyal Fete in ho-' nour of their Sovereign patron, which, from report, is likely to be extremely splendid. MODERN TRAVELLING.—SUCII iS the facility of travel ling through Portsmouth, that a person may reach Havre in twenty hours from London, as the steam-boat per firms the voyage from Havre to Portsmouth harbour in ten hours and a half. From London to Jersey occupies only twenty-seven hours, as the steam-boat crosses from Alderney to the Needles in nine hours, and from Jersey so PortsmoUth in seventeen hours. From London to Ports mouth, by the coach or van, and from thence to Plymouth, by steam-boat, will occupy only twenty-eight hours, and the cost is only eighteen shillings. A gentleman ntay breakfast in Piccadilly, and drink tea on the same day, comfortably, at the back of the Isle of Wight. COUNT CARNOT'iI SYSTEM OF POItTICATION.-•••The experiment in military defence, according to Count Car not's system, to which we a lluded a few days since, was tried at Woolwich Warren on Thursday and Friday last, and the fallacy of the principle completely developed. The supposed improvement consisted of a wall erected longitn dinally along the centre of' the . fesse, in which, from the sup elevation of the counterscarp interpo sed between it and the besieging force, it was conceived to be out of the power of artillery to effect a practicable breach, or, in fact, to hit it at all, while, being loop-holed and lined within with infantry, an insurmountable obstacle was opposed to escalade. A wall upon this plan, 18 feet in length, 20 in height, seven feet thick at bottom, and six at top, bad been prepared for the purpose, upon which, on this occasion, three batt e ries, mountal with 1t pieces of ordinance, of 'different calibre, opened, two at the distance of 400, the third SOO yards. Such was the accuracy and skill with which the shot and shells were directed, that the supposed impenetrable defence was literally knocked to pieces, the 'curtain being utterly demolished in a comparatively short space of time by the ricochet methtel of firing. The Duke of Wellington, as Master-General of the Ordnance, was I prevented by circumstances from attending to witness the effect ; but Sir 11. Hardinge, Colonels Pai‘ley, Ford, &e.. and a long list of distinguished Officers of Engineers and Artillery, were on the ground, and expressed themselves highly satisfied with the result of' the experiment.—Ecesing! Paper. REeir.r OF DERRY.—We understand that the loyal ' citizens of Londonderry are resolved to celebrate, by a Bonk and Glass Meiling, the anniversary of the relief of this city on the Ist of August, 1689, when King James and his rebel army were obliged to raise the siege, after the most heroic resistance on the part of the besieged.—Dublin Evening FRENCH PAPERS.

The King heard mass in his apartments. Count VIII& trans acted business with his Majesty. The King went out and took a ride to baeelle. Ity a Royal decision of the 4th August, the Duke de Blues, Pea of France, is appointed Ambassador to Naples. A telegraphic (lomat& from Toulon announces the arrival at 11l am Mee of the Erglish scimoner Express, on the id of August, at night, with the news of a treaty of pence having b-en concluded between England and the Regent of Algiers, on the MI of July, snd that the blozkade of the Algerine ports was taken off on the 2fith of July. The Empemr of Russia. who is returned from a visit to his military colonies, is at this moment at the Krasmo Cele, where the forty.tive thousand men, who are encamped there, will execute rfor four days grand manteuvres. It is understood, that when these mantauvres are terminatesd the camp will break up, and his Majesty will make a journey into the interior of the empire, . towards Astracan. i The Gaut. If Augsburg. of the tid August, gives an extract of . a letter fr olli Constantinople, of the 15th July, stteing, that an officer of the fleet of the Capitan Pacha hail been sent to the Go. 'aliment to annoonce the conquest of the Isle of Ipsars, one of the principal arsenali of the Greeks, after an obstinate resistance. The Turks must have captured more than 100 vessels and a great quantity of artillery. The plan of the Capitan Pacha was to pro ' ceed on to Samos. As long as the Austrian Obreet.rr does not give a confirmation of this afflicting news for Christiunty, we are per. ruined to doubt it. Baron Charles de Rothschild has arrived at Paris from Naples, , and alighted at the Grand Hotel el'Artois, where. for several , days past, M. Solomon Rothschild, wins his family, front Frank ' fort, had lodged. I• " The Coustitutionnet appears to be astonished at the appoint- , ment of an Ambassador of the King to his great f riends the Swiss ; Confederates. That Journal ought to have known that the Kings ' ' of France are the only Monarchs of Europe who, during u wards of three centuries, have constantly accredited Am to Switzerland. We can enumerate more than a hundred, among whom may bz cited, the Sieur de la Tremoille, the Marshals de Chabanne, de Alontmotency, de la Vieville, de Biron, de passim- I pierre, the Duke de Hoban, and more recently the Chevalier de Beauteville, the Viscount de Polignac, the Marquis de Vergeunes, • and the Marquis de Verse. I " Even during the Revolution, MM. Barthelerni, Verninac, and General Vial were residents in Switzerland in the character of .lineassadors. It was only when Buonapsrte had brought Switzer land under the weight of his despotism that be merely accredited Ministers Plenipotentiary to that country. Surprise was felt, that since the restoration, monarchical 'r ranee was not represented in Switzerland as formerly. But every thing which pertains to send merits of propriety and to the dignity of France, is an eye-sore to the Constant tonna, who complains that the King has cherished the remembrance of the fidelity of the Swiss, on the 10th of Au. • gust, by again having them on duty around a palace which is the scene of their honourable @avian. M. the Count de la Ferronnays, the Ambassador of France at the Russian Court, landed at Lubeck on the 211th ult. with his fa- mily. His Excellency passed through Hamburgh on the Slat! ult. on his way to take the benefit of the waters of Carlsbad. Ma dame the Countess de la Ferronnayt, stud her children, proceeded ! to France direct. We have already noticed the distinguished reception which his Majesty the Emperor of Russia deigned to give to the French naval division which went into the Baltic. We think our readers will be gratified with some further testimonials of the good-will with which his Majesty was pleased to honour the French navy.
