Auoure 3, HY:. The attention of the French journalists continues to be engrossed with speculations with respect to the result of the financial measures of M. de VILLELE. Friday rext is the last day of the term allowed to the rentiers to make their election ; and it appears by a statement in the ..luter”ol des Debuts, that up to last Saturday the amount of Relates converted was only 10,200,000 f. There re mained twenty millions of fleeting rentes to be converted in five days. In three months, with the utmost force of Ministerial influence, and the aid of every exertion that could be applied to insure success, only ten millions had been converted. It is not probable, therefore, that much more will be effected in the way of conversion, especially as the ueeline of the rentes has tended still further to embarrass and impede the opera tion. As to paying off the dissentients, the Parisian Jour nalists in.hostility to the Ministry treat the design as ut terly impracticable. Only about a third part of the floating rentes has been converted; a sum so insignificant, corn pared to the amount of the whole debt, that the rentiers are assured they may sleep in peace, at least till the next Session of the Chambers. The news from Greece leaves us still in uncertainty as to the late events in that country. The Austrian Obrerefr rives frens the Greek Papers some details of the siege of I Missolonghi to the middle of June. The defense was con ducted with great bravery. The garrison was regularly supplied with provisions by sea. The naval superiority of the Greeks is the sheet anchor of their safety. They can never he subdued while they retain the command of the Archipelago. On the 10th of June the blockade of the Gulf of Corinth was again carried into effect ; it bad been Interrupted by the dissentions, which we hope are now terminated for ever. It is announced that an extraordinary Congress of De puties from all the Islands and Provinces engaged in the rtruggle bad been convoked at Napoli di Romania, in order to elect a King. The Greek Deputies in London are :rated to have urged the expediency and propriety of tha measure. One good effect would obviously result from the establishment of a monarchical Government at the present moment in Greece. The factions would be sup pressed, and the continental Governments would be in duced to lock upon the new state with a more friendly eve. These advantages arc all that would be requisite to raise Greece to independence. (From the Polk dated Monday, Aug. 11.1 Int or Tixo, Jel.Y C.

The Austr;Jn Observer contaios the following news fleece : The eleven numbers of the G,erek Chronick, from llt 15th June, contain very circumstantial details on the of the siege of Missolonghi, and of the defence ; there some hard fighting, and some were killed or wounded • On the 2tl of June the Greeks lost Captain Demeter _ officer of distinction. and the heed of a respectable family. He was killed in the redoubt Bozzari by a cannot shot ; a few days after, Captain Rutzo was taken prisoner by the Turks while reconnoitring. Redschill Paella intended to effect a practicable breach in the Non nann battery and then to try a general assault. Every thing Is prepared in the fortress to make the most obstinate resistance. It is • said that the famous artillery officer Caret°, formerly in the service of Ali Pacha, is in the camp of the Seraskiet.. The Gazelle of Missolonghi states that Nikite, one of the rebels who hive been included in the amnesty, is at Missoldnghl. He has declared that he would not quit the place io long as the siege shall last. In the night of the 30th May, the Greek brig Leonidas arrived at Miesolongi, with a cargo of provisions and ammunition. Four days afterwards this brig fought with uveral Turkish vessels to which it gave chase. On the morning of the 10th June, the third division of the Greek fleet, destined to blockade the Gulf of Corinth, arrived in the Port of Missolonghi, under the command of Admiral George Nitwit ; thatofficer published on the same day an order, by virtue of which the blockade of the Gulf of Corir.th, ordered by the Directory at Napoli, oo the 26th October last, and which could not be main tained ea account of the desertions in the Mores, I. to be again tentelod btaradict. . .ae severe laws by whicheemilostions punished, no part of the kingdom his suf _ea so much from the criminal folly ef the warden as Ireland. The mischievous extent to est:dards., carried their systedi of combination is hardly credible on relation. It was supported by the most shocking and infanta* means. In several instances blood was shed under rheum stances peculiarly revolting and inhuman. Every branch of the trade of the country was thrown into confusion ands**- ' nation. The workmen were warned in vain that their Era ceedings tended directly and principally to their diPtt injl.ry. They were blind to any consequences, but the evils the, . unfortunately had it in their power to bring upon thsh masters, for refusing to accede to the insolent and extrava gant demands on which they insisted. The effects that were predicted are, however, now beginning to be accomplished. Among the trades in which these combinations were moat active and powerful, was that of the shipwrights of Dublin. These men have succeeded in destroying their trade. The timber with Which the vessels belonging to that port was to have been there built, is on its passage to Bogiaed, lying on the quays for that purpose. The shipowners of' . Ireland have been compelled, in self-defence, to give em ployment to the shipwrights of England. The same course will be followed with regard to every other trade in the same condition. The merchants of Ireland will seek in England or elsewhere for those articles which they cannot obtain at a reasonable price at home. The men who now refuse to work themselves or permit others to work, except on terms, and at a rate of wages which the state of trade will not allow, will shortly be unable to get employment on any terms or for any wages. The remembrance of their misconduct will deprive them of all charitable relief, and they will be doomed to undergo the most dreadful inflic tions of want and misery. Such is the state to which they will reduce themselves. If these consequences attached only to the guilty ringleaders no regret would be felt ; but unhappily the calamity will spread indiscriminately over all those classes and individuals who subsist by their labour. The wretched peasantry will be pu nished for offences in which they never shared, and the progress of national improvement will be arrested at the very moment of its commencement. The capital of Eng land was flowing into the sister island, and the most cheer ing prospects were opening upon it. The spirit of the peo ple was reviving, and Ireland seemed likely to become also the seat of industry and comfort. A blow, however, has been struck against her welfare, which we fear it will require some considerable time to recover. In order to avert the many evils with which the present state of things is pregnant, we trust that the provisions of the new Act will be vigorously applied, and that all the protection of the law may be fully given to those workmen who are disposed peacefully to follow their business and uphold the trade of their country.

They are a ahade dearer than the closing price of yesterday ; but the transactions in them are not of any importance. Sauth American Bonds do not improve in their value. Letters from Guatimala of the Ist June state the country to be perfectly tranquil. The Cunstdutiunnel states, that the French General Boyer made no part of the expedition to the Morea, and consequently did not die of his wounds, as the Etude as , rerted, on the faith of a letter from Constantinople. A letter from Naples, in the Constitutioand, says, that it is expected a general amnesty will be published there on the arrival of the King. The renewal of the convention for the continuance of the Austrian army of occupation had created great dissatisfaction. • The Junrnal des De bats mentions that the Marquis de Dampierre has made a suspension bridge of iron wire over a river in his domain at Dampierre (:tube); fifty-four feet long and four broad, and on which forty persons can pass safely at a time; the whole expense of which was 600 franCs, or Letters from Cadiz represent the Colombian privateers I off that port as being very successful in their depredations on the Spanish trade. Notwithstanding the convoys that are appointed, these marauders pick up straggling vessels. A letter from Madrid says, that it is intended, on the tat of January, to introduce a tariff, which pertnits a com paratively free trade to Spain ; the book of rates baying :dread) , received the King's approbation, and being or dered to be published on the Ist of October, and acted on on the Ist of January.

Yeaterday, at half-past one o'clock, his Majesty arrived at his Palace in Pall-mall, in an open carriage, from his' Royal Lodge in Windsor Park. Soon after, the King held a Court, which was attended by the Lord Chancellor, the First Lord of the Treasury,. the Lord Privy Seal, the Secretary of State for the Home Department, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Presi dent of the Board of Trade, the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, the Lord Chancellor of Ireland, the Bishop of St. David's, Earl Cathcart (Gold Stick in waiting), the Master of the Horse, the Rev. Dr. Sumner, the Recorder of London, the Treasurer of the Household, Lord Burgliersh,tkc. The Rev. Dr. Jenkinson, Bishop of St. David's, did ho mage before his Majesty, upon his appointment to that See. Mr. Secretary Peel, and the. Rev. Mr. Sumner, as Clerk of the Closet, attended the ceremony. The King then held a Privy Council, at which Mr. Gre ville attended as Clerk, when. the further prorogation of Parliament was taken into CiPpaideratio, and a further prorogation was agreed to, from the 25th instant to the Ist day of next November. At the conclusion of the Privy Council the Recorder of London was admitted into the presence of the King in ICouncil, and made his report of the convicts capitally con victed at the last Sessions for the county of Aliddlem, at Justice Hall, in the Old Bailey ; when the King was gra ciously pleased to reprieve them all during his Majesty's pleasure. Mr. Secretary Peel officiated for the Lord President of the Council, in the absence of the Earl of Hatrowby from London. His Majesty gave audiences to the Lord Chancellor, the Earl of Liverpool, Mr. Peel, and the Lord Chancellor of Ireland. The Marquis of Londonderry was the Lord in waiting, and Sir Hilgrove Turner was the Groom in waiting. The Court broke up soon after four o'clock, after which the King left town on his return to his Royal Lodge. We understand that Mr. Canning is expected to arrive in Cheltenham to-morrow, for the purpose of drinking the waters; having been recommended to visit this delightful spot, for that purpose, by his Physicians.

The Duke of Wellington has left England on his ordi nary tour of inspection of the fortresses in the Netherlands, on which, in pursuance of the treaties with that country, a part of the indemnity paid by France, and which might have been claimed by England, is to be expended under the supervision of his Grace. He is accompanied by Col. IJones, of the Engineers, who has the charge of detailed inspection. I His Grace the Puke of Wellington has been unani mously elected a member of the Berkshire county club, the usual method of ballot having been declared unneees- sary. We noticed with regret that the Archbishop of Canterbury was unable, from indisposition, to officiate at the consecra tion of Dr. Jenkinson, as Bishop of St. David's ; but we have great pleasure in stating, that his Grace is now com pletely recovered, and appears to be in much better health kit than he has enjoyed forioni ears.

India Bill : " It is not necessary that the Bight Bon. Gentleman should' sarcastically cell that time to our recollection,- Well do I remen bee every circumstance of that memorable period.

Let no man hear of us, who shall not hear, that in a struggle !against the intrigues of Courts, and 'the perfidious levity of the multitude, we fell in the cause of 'lithium in the cause of our country, in the cause of human nature itself! But if fortune should be as powerful' over (tune as she has been prevalent over virtue, at least, our conscience is beyond her jurisdiction. My poor share in the support of that great measure no man shall rarieli front. me. It shall besafely lodged in the sanctuary of my heart, never, never tobe torn from thence, but with those holds that grapple it to life."—Vide Burke's works, vol. iv. p. 219. We will next present the reader with an instance of de liberate falsification of a passage of' 'Zr.. Be axes, which is perhaps without a parallel in literary history. In his celebrated Letter on the Revolutiax in France, Mr. Burke writes thus : " Circumstances (which with some gentlemen pass for nothing) give in reality to every political principle its distinguishing colour, and discriminating effect. The circumstances are what render every civil and political scheme beneficial or noxious to mankind. Ab stractedly speaking, government, as well as liberty, is good ; yel could I, in common sense, ten years ago, have felicitated France on her enjoyment af a Government (fin she then had a Government), without inquiring what the nature of that Government was, or how it was administered? Can I now congratulate the same nation upon Its freedom? Is it because liberty, in the abstract, may be classed amongst the blessings of mankind, that I am seriously to felicitate a madmen who has escaped from the protecting restraint and wholesome darkness of his cell, on his restoration to the enjoyment of light and liberty ? Am 1 to congratulate an highwayman and murderer, who has broke prison, upon the recovery of his natural rights ? This would be to act over again the. scene of the criminals condemned to the galleys, and their heroic deliverer, the metaphysic Knight of the Sorrowful Countenanee."—Vide Burke's works, vol. vi. p. 136. PAINE, in his Rights of Man, in his attack on Mr. Burke's Letter, writes thus:— " Bat Mr. Burke app=es to have no idea of principles when he is contemplating Governments. Ten years ago (says he) I could' Jytrt felicited France on her havinn a Government, without in-' r quiring what the nature of that Government was, or how it was administered. Is this the language of a rational man ? On this ground Mr. Burke must compliment every Government in the sotld. while the victims who suffer under them, whether sold Into slavery or tortured out of existence, ire wholly forgotten. It is power, and not principles, that Mr. Burke venerates and [ender this abominable depravity, he is disqualified to judge between them."

Notwithstanding the unpopularity of Mr. Kean, occa sioned by the disgraceful Crim. Con. expose, which must still he within the recollection of our readers, he was en gaged by Messrs. Yates and Farley to perform four nights in this town, and which engagement he fulfilled last week, to audiences, which, although certainly not very crowded, were far more numerous than we could have anticipated under those circumstances. There are few men, who, perhaps, both in and out of their profession, were more re spected, or whose society was more courted and sought after, than Mr. Kean's; yet now, notwithstanding the exertion of all the stage trickery, of which he is so dYmplete a master, blended with ravings, stampings, gri maces, and rantings, Mr. Kean gained but a trifling share of that applause (with the exception of a few noisy fellows in the galleries, who judge of the merits of an actor by the pawer and extent of his lungs) which he was invariably accustomed to receive from crowded and most elegant and fashionable audiences. On Tuesday he performed Richard, on Thursday Sir Cites Overreach, on Friday Brut se, and on Saturday Shylock. lie likewise on the same evening played the part of Silvester 'ag gcrwood , in which he introduced, according to the play bills, " Imitations of Actors, Singers, and Harlequins.' Richard and Richmond, as Incledon and Braham ; and Kemble, as Ilfacheath. He likewise sung " The Lads of the Village, as Mr. Incledon ;" and " My Heart with love is beating. as Mr. Brahatn." We suppose that Mr. Kean, disappointed in his expectations of drawing fashionable and overflowing audiences at Cheltenham, hit upon this species of tom-foolery, thinking by such means to fill a house, no matter /tow. Although Mr. Macready, who was here a few weeks since, from some cause or other, failed to draw as much as he might have very naturally anticipated, yet he never had recourse to such an expedient. And why? we would ask. We leave this question to be answered by Mr. Kean and his friends. We are most happy to per ceive that the celebrated Mr. Young is engaged by our in defatigable Managers, and makes his first appearance here to-morrow. We have no doubt that the attraction of such transendant ability as Mr. Young possesses, joined to his estimable character in private life, will insure to hfessrs. Yates and Farley an ample remuneration for the taste and liberality they have thus displayed in catering for the -nusement of their theatrical friends. —Cheltenham Journal. Col. Berkeley, we believe, is a favourite on the Chel tenham stage. AN ITALIAN CUSTOM. Among the customs of the common people in Italy, there is one, founded, like our Christmas carols, in religious ideas, which seems to have escaped the observation of most travellers, but which, as it has some connexion with music, may be described in the Parthenon. ghepherda, or other country peopld - round Rome, and some other cities, repair to town in the beginning of De cember, and continue to parade the streets in pairs, until New Year'► Day. One plays a kind of bagpipe; the other, who carries a simple zampogna, or flageolet, alter nately plays and sings. This practice is meant to be a com memoration of the shepherds' going to worship the new born Saviour. The custom is extremely old, and some in quiries respecting its origin have been made without suc cess. It is supposed to he a ceremony descended from the time of the Romans, which has changed its name and ob ject. Be this as it may, there is certainly in the phy siognomy and general appearance of these men something of a patriarchal character. They wear a red cloak over a green or blue underdress, sandals with thick laces, and round hats, with coloured loops and knots, very much re sembling in their whole costume she shepherds, as they ap pear in the act of worshipping the infant Christ, in some old paintings ; and as they are represented in the wax figures, which, during Christmas week, are placed in front of the altar in Roman Catholic churches. It is a remark able peculiarity of those street musicians, that they never ask money of the inhabitants of the houses or shops where they play ; but, on the day after Twelfth Day, when their perambulations end, they silently, and with an air of modest reluctance, accept any trifle which may be offered them. As, however, their remuneration never exceeds a few la jocclii, and as they continue altogether nearly sit weeks in Rome, it is difficult to conceive how they live. They seem neither to eat nor to sleep, for they. play during the whole night as well as the day. The taste of these people is very rude, and they are altogether destitute of tart, but they play in a bold brilliant style.—Parthenon.

ESCAPE OF ROUMAGE. —.......--__ The Paris Papers of Sunday give an account of an escape from prison, very similar to the memorable evasion of Lavalette. The individual who has escaped is named Roumage. He was tried lately before the Royal Court of Orleans, for forgery, and sentenced to five years imprison ment in the House of Correction in that eity. The par. ticulars of his flight are stated in the following letter, dared from Orleans, July 29 : . 1 " Yesterday evening, at eight o'clock, Madame Rou tine and her niece came to the prison, accompanied by a on dressed nearly like an ecclesiastic. After they had F. h some time with the prisoner, another individual, I reseed like the ecclesiastic, and whom the keepers tZtok - for him, appeared alOne at the wicket, holding a handkerchief to his eyes, and seeming meth distressed; he desired the diMr to be opened ; the gaolers, deceived, obeyed ; th e i n ., dividual went out—it was Roumage. About a quarter of an hour later, Madame Roumage, her niece, and the prc tended ecelesiestie who entered with the ladies, came down from the chamber of Roumage,, and desired to be l e t out. The seine potter who had just before let out 1 Roumage _in disguise, _ was still on duty at the gate. NVhether the appearance of two persons, perfectly resem bling each other, did not strike the porter , or whether be was a little intoxicated, or had been bribed , is not known: he let the three persons go out, and the whole family of Roumage escaped with the prisoner. Soon after gcing to shut the inner doors, and look after the prisoners, the escape of Roumage was discovered, the authorities were incomes!, and all the usual methods taken. It wall soon found that Roumage had set out lost on the road to Paris, 'and that on reaching Chevilly, Roumage and his Mend, disguised as an ecclesiastic, supposed however to be a Pro testant like himself, separated ; the latter mounted a horse, 'and set off full gallop, doubtless, to order horses on the road. The postillion who gave the latter information, de clares that Roumage travelled shove four leagues an hour. People are in pursuit of the fugitive, and the porter sus -1 pected of having favoured his escape, is put in solitary confinement." .. ... IV:. W CATHOLIC ASSOCIATION, DUBLIN. The Dublin Evening . Post of Saturday last gives th: following in a Second Edition of its paper : A Pdee ing of this Body was held to-day at-the Corn Exchange, Counsellor O'fiatew in the Chair. On the motion of the Rev. Mr. L'EsynawoE, Mr. Conway was appointe 1 Secretary to the Meeting, and read the Minutes of the last day's proceedings. • • - Mr. 'CONWAY said that having moved and carried a motion on the last day of meeting, for the nomination of a Committee .to report to the Association - the best means of taking a teasing of the people of Ireland, lie would postpone flue nomination to tins day seek. Mr. DOWELL O'REILLY read the Report of the Committee appo:n ed to draw up regulations for the government of this As. *sciatica, a copy of which we published in the Dublin Evening Post of Tuesday. When the Report was read, Mr. CONWAY moved that Saturday be substituted as the day of meeting for this Association, instead of Wednesday, as recommended in the Report of the Committee. This resolution was seconded by Mr. Brown, and carried with on y one dissentient. Mr. O'REILLY moved that the Report, as amended, be received. Carried. Mr. CONWAY proposed that the rules comprised in the Rcyort, be adopted as those of this Association. Seconded by Mr. REID, and carried unanimously. Mr. O'REILLY gave notice of a motion for the next day of meeting, having for its object " that, as the promoting of reltglon, and the ends of private and public charity, and the legitima e oh. jects embraced by the Association, were objects which requited money, two persons he appointed in every parish in lids .41 communicate observations, and receive subscriptions for these nut. poses." lam (continued Mr. O'Reilly) happy to tell this Meet. Mg that it is the opinion of every Lawyer of eminence in this (*tin ry and in England, that it is perfectly legal to collect sub. acripions, and send communications relative to the purposes fee which this Association had been formed. A Gentleman, whose name we could not learn, gave notice of a motion, •"flunt the names of the Members of this Association be publishe I in the Newspapers weekly." I The SECRETARY, at the wish of Mr. O'Reilly, read the names of the Members who had joined the Association since Saturday._ they amounted to 3l; making in the whole one hundred and tify• one Members already Among the additional names are those of Sir Thomas Esmonde, Sir Edward Bellew, the Hon. Wm. King, Trinity College, Cambridge, Colonel Fitabenry, Talbot Glascock, and J. W. Curran. Mr. BAGOOTT moved that Mr. John Dean, of Paris, be ad• mined a Member of the Association.—Carried. Sir EDWARD BELLEw'entered at this stage of the proceedings, and was received with applause. Thanks were then voted to Counsellor O'Brien, on the motion of Mr. Conway, and the Meeting separated. C.4THOLIC .6.41./ArelPll79/OAr At a dinner of the Protestant friends of Catholic Eman cipation, which was lately given at Waterford, Sir J. Nev • port made the following speech upon his health being drank : Sir JOHN NrwPORT, in rising to express his acknowledgments, said that had he the talents of that bright ornament of his country, that splendid patriot who was now no more (Mr. Grattan), he might, perhaps, be able to do justice to his feelings on this o:- casion—but nothing short of such talents could give utterance ti the emotions of his heart. For more than forty years he ha I looked forward with earnest solicitude to a great event ethic' shred efi'ect the emancipation of Ireland, by giving qua •iv rights to all classes of the Irish people, no matter what diet • ei• glous creed might be; and though, at the age at which he had nor at rived, he could rot, perhaps, expect to see that event realised, still he fondly indulged the hope that it was not far distant, while h! felt convinced that Ireland could never know happiness no: the empi:e security, till it was attained. Some statesmen 0 too• seen times seemed to act as if their intellects had lain do -mast f centuries, as it they had slept their long sleep, and had now awoke, for the first time. without any idea of accommodatine themselves tp the great political and moral improvements which had t.thett place in the interval, and which were still makieg such rapid progress .throughout the whole of the civilised sorld. But the clouds of error were dissipating around us—prejudice was giving away to truth, and angry passions were yielding,to the k.nilly spint of natural forbearance. In England a great change had taken place in the public mind, and the evidence which had been laid before revilement on the state of Helen] would have a, powerful effect in leading the sound judgment of Englishmen to rake a more correct and enlightened view of the real condition of the people here. He would recommend it to Cie Catholic countrymen above all things to remain united—union was strength--discord ruin. Let no sinister object influence theta for a moment—let no misrepresentation cause a difference in their body. Let them only look forward to the goal of freedom, a.d . I never cease their exertion* till they should have reached it.- te There was a most splendid exhibition of the aurn;:z lior.ealix en Tuesday night. It was seen by many persons in the neighbourhood of Carlisle, and further North. It is thus described by a correspondent in a Glasgow paper, and his description strictly applie; to what wasobservable here, except that it was seen a little earlier :—" It first became visibte in the northern horizon about half-past eleven, to , shooting emit ely amiss the western heavens, sustained 11 self in an arch of the most beautiful corruscations. 1 coal compare it to nothing but the silvery gloss reflected fro the polished • mirror, with this difference, however, that i was never stationary or connected, but always flitting an' radiant.
