We received last night the Dutch Mail and the Ftoile by express, dated Thursday, the I;th. The contents of the latter are destitute of interest. An article taken from the Austrian Observer makes known the final departure, from Yassy (Moldavia), of the Tutkish Plenipotentiaries for Akermann. These gentlemen seem to have consider ably slackened their pace, after going through Bucharest in great haste ; and to their delay in Moldavia we are now to attribute the silence which has for several weeks been observed on the subject of their proceedings. However trifling the political differences which exist between the two Powers may appear, we anticipate but a slow pro gress in the negotiations, unless considerations arising out of late events at Constantinople urged the Ottoman Cabi net to a deviation from its ordinary habits of procrastina tion, and to a speedy termination of the questions at issue. The following are extracts:— Sr. PETEASIIIIROH, Avo. 1. Conformably to the regulation of the Imperial Manifesto of the! 7th May, 1817, the Council superintending the establishments connected with the public credit assembled on the 13th (25th) July, to revise the aecounti of those establishments. In this sitting his Excellency Lieutenant-General Camerin, Minister of Finance, delivered • speech narrating the operations of the preceding year. The following is an abstract : The course of Exchange in 182.; was higher than in 1824, which had a favourable influence on our payments to foreign countries ; but this rise has a tendency to lower the prices of our produce, unless they are kept up by other circunistances. The prospects for . . . . . . . trade this year are not so favourable, but it is highly probable that the present state of foreign trade, which causes the temporary dis tress of outs, will not be of long duration. Our Funds were nearly stationary until the unexpected death of the Emperor Alexander caused a sensible decline, which was or short continuance; but the commercial crisis in England caused A general shock, independently of political circumstances and IVO' U. The operations of our banks in 1023 were not without success fhe Loan Bank 'coined with great advantage to employ the idle capital accumulated in the Commercial Bank. In general, the Mall of deposits received by our banks has much augmented, chiefly from the decline in the prices of many of our productions, which tendered inactive a part of the capital recently employed in internal trade. The interest of the sums lost by the bank has hi.. mato been paid pretty regularly, notwithstanding the embarrass ments of the landholders. A remarkable circumstance in the accounts laid before you is, tie temporary diminution of the annual expenses io our system of cmdit--a diminution of 20 millions of rubles. This measure has been adopted with your consent, and with that of the Council of the Empire, sanctioned by the Emperor. (The Illinister entered at great length into the nature of this diminution, and the manner in which it had been effected.) The Sinking Fund paid in 1225, of the Dutrh debt, one million •i ti•rins, one half of which for the account of Russia. Of other debts, 112,000 rubles in silver, 2,137.333 assignats. There were redeemed of perpetual debt, at 6 per cent., 646,960 rubles in silver, 5.667,640 rubles in assignats. Of prrpetual debt at 5 per cent.. 1,811,644 rubles in silver. Th.: creditors of the War and other Departments have been paid, b-vides„ 351,532 rubles in silver, 1,831,630 rubles in suignats. By these payments the debt. are now as follow : Dutch debt, 91,600,000 florins, of which 46,600,000 on account Debts for a certain time, 2,875,999 rubles in silver, 51,378,6 0 assignats. Perpetual debts, 6 per cent., 20,620 rubles in gold, 7,1144,652 rubles in silver; 220,5211,911 rubles in assilmats. The debts at 5 per cent., 75,664,960 rubles in silver. Bank of Articnats--The amount of bank notes in circulation did not vary 111 . 1825; it remained 595.776,310 ruble', as before, which shows that the law prohibiting the farther emission of paper cur rency has been strictly observed. The Loan Bank—The net profits of this bank in 1625 were, boa rubles in gold. 35.5133 rubles in silver, 1,805,140 in assignats. The Commercinl Bank, the capital of which in 30 millions, made, in 1925, after deducting the expenses, • net profit of 1 1 3 7 5 , 8 99 rubles. Such, Gentlemen, Is the actual situation of these establishments. I hope that an impartial examination of their operations will suffice to justify the confidence of the public and the expectations of the august 3lonarch, whose riga, distinguished by a paternal and in defatigable solicitude for the happiness of Russia, will establi•li on solid foundations the public credit, and every part of its social edifies. _ _ (From the Etoile, dated Aug 17.] GENEVA, A 170.10. The King of Bavaria has sent to M. Eynard a sum or 106,000 francs, of which 13.000 are from his own purse, and 26,000 subscribed by the members of his family, to be employed in the deli rerat:ce of the Greeks. The following is the King's letter : " To alleviate the misery of the Christians of the Cast, I had subscribed 20,000 florins, or 43,007 franca, payable in ten following months. As the relief might come too late, I place thi. sum now at your disposal, and even double it, that you may he able to afford more effectual aid. These 00,000, which you may immediately:lis— p:lse of, are independent of the 20.000 francs which I remitted you to redeem the Greek women and children. With what pleasing sa tisfaction do I make this new sacrifice for unfortunate Christians— foe am not I a man and a Christian r _ This virtuous isarcreign, on his journey to Bruckenau, refused all the fees and illuminations which the communes wished to offer him. He let the Magistrates know that it would be mere agreeable to him, under press nt circumstances, that the money intended for these fetes should be employed, half in relieving the poor of the communes, and the other half in assisting the unfortunate Inhabi tants of Greece. Ills 3lajesty's request has had great success, and new gifts have been t,fsitrd teem all quartets for the Greeks. An ordinance of the Coatich, authorizing the Protestant worship at Lucerne, consists of six arth.les ; the following are the principal points I. The Protestants soil, d at Lucerne are permitted to celebrate regularly the reformed religion ; but without expense to the state, without troubling the Catholic worship established in the canton of Lucerne, or the peace of religion. 2. The Government reserves to itself the t ight of nominating the Protestant clergyman, whose congregation shall give hint a suitable salary. 3. The Government for the present grants the Protestants the use of a chapel belonging to the State, in the liossli.street. • 4. The Government reverses to itself the farther decision of every thing relative to the organization, financial resources, &c. The grounds assigned fir this measure are three : I. The political relations of the Government to the other cantons, resulting either from the federal compact or particular concordats, which ensure to every Swiss citizen the right of settling in what ever part of the confederation he pleases. —2. The situation of Lu etvne, as one of the directing cantons.-3. The duty of Governments to conform to the spirit of a religion of peace, and to protect the ecclesiastical institutions of the Christian Churches recognized in I Switz.rlantl. PAIIIS, Auo. 16. The Aug; iare Otterter says—" We learn from Jassy that after 17 days stay in the capital of Moldavia, the Turkish Plenipotentiaries set out for Akermann, but stopped the ssme evening at the Russian quarantine at Skuleni, on the Pruth, a league from Jassy. On their departure they received the same honours as at their arrival. In the middle of the Pruth, which is the boundary between Mol davia and Bessarabia, they met the Russian Commissary Pisani who went iu a boat to meet them. Two cominnies of Orenadicre, with their band cf music, were urder arms; and the house of the quarantine was fitted up so as to afford the Plenipotentiaries every convenience. They will stop six days at Skuleni. FRENCH FUNDS.—PAIIIS, AUGUST 16.—Five per Cents. I opened at 1001. 3,5 c.; closed at 100 f. 30c. Three per Cents. 66f. 25c. Bank Stock, 2,010 f.

We have received the El Constitucional of Bogota to June the 9th, from which we have only room for the fol lowing extract: — We were fortunate enough to procure a number of the Extraor dinary Gazette, containing the official documents received by the Government, relative to the recent occurrences at Valencia, which was published late cn Thursday evening. To prevent all unneces_ sary alarm in the public mind, and place our fellow-citizens in a condition to judge themselves of the state of affairs, we have re printed the whole of its contents; and, notwithstanding theshort nese of the time, we shall make sonic few remarks upon them, and add such particulars as have come to our knowledge, and we think deserving of credit. It appears then, that on the 28th April despatches were received in Valencia, announcing the impeachment of General Paez, and the orders of the Government that he should deliver the Commun. dancia-General of Venezuela to General Escalona. To these he professed implicit obedience, and in letters to various individuals of high rank in this city he expressed his willingness to comply w i th what was required of him. After his resignation the troops stat ioned at Valencia, it is said at the instigation of others, committed va rious excesses, and on the night of the 29th several assassinations took place. The Municipality, alarmed at the outrageous behaviour of the troops, passed a resolution that General Pacz should be re. instated In his command, which he accepted. The resolution was communicated to the Intendant of the Department, not by the Mu nicipality, but by Colonel Carabano, Chief of the Staff, through General Tom, Commandante de Armas of the Province. The In. tendant, immediately on receiving the news, wrote a letter to Gen. Pau, which we recommend to the attention of our readers, to which no answer had been returned ; we look anxiously for it, as it will discover what his intentions were, and what motives existed of so powerful a nature as to induce him to accept this office from the hands of the Municipality, previous to attempting to stop by his own private influence the disorders of which the troops, formerly under his command, and understood to be personally attached to him, had been guilty. Immediately after this occurred, an officer, Colonel Cala, was despatched to Puerto Cabello, of which place he smutted the government; the tinnier governor, Avendano, having either reigned or been forcibly dispossessed of his authority. lien. Marino had also, it was stated, proceeded to Caraecas ; his views were not known. The people of that city were perfectly quiet ; and the Governor of La Guam, Colonel lbarra, was tAing every pre. caution to maintain the tranquillity of the town under his com mand. In Cumana every thing was tranquill; and on an express leaving Mazacaybo, on the 13th of May, the best disposition was stated to exist amongst the troops. On the English frigate, the Galatea, reaching Carthagena with the news of the I Ith ult., Gen. Montilla despatched a messenger to Peru, and several regiments, lately arrived from the south, have been detained until further orders. This is all the information that we are possessed of, to which any degree of credit ought to be given. What the views of General Paez are it would be presumptuous at present to decide, in the absence of any proclamation or other public document, avowing his sentiments and reasons for resuming the command. No one can be ignorant that he has acted in open violation of the Constitu tion, in accepting from a subordinate authority what he had been deprived of in the most solemn manner by the supreme authority of the Republic. If the aria attributed to Colonel C:ala be con firmed, and were done by his sanction. he has incurred a heavy res ponsibility; and, in the midst of this, the ignorance in which he has kept the Government of his proceedings (for the only official intelligence they have got is from the Intendant) is, even if his conduct be actuated by the most praiseworthy motives, to say the least of it, highly culpable. The extraordinary channel by which the resolution of the municipality of Valencia was communicated to the Intendant would lead many to doubt its being n genuine espresalon of the feelings of that body, and gives room to suspect that the sudden relaxation of discipline in the soldiery is not alto.. gether to be attributed to their release from the vigilance of Gene. Paez. Time, however, alone can relieve us from this state of uncertainty as to the patriotism of this Geneva. Circumstances at present certainly seem to plead unfavourably against him ; still by his future conduct may his present imprudences be atoned tor. We most sincerely wish that such may be the result ; but if, on the contrary, General Pries be animated by ulterior views, may he pause before he precipitates himself into measures which, from their intricacy, may strangle him in his endeavours to unravel them—may he pause before (like Cow) he pass the Rubicon, and involve himself, his country, and, above all, her liberties, in mss common danger. In the Executive, during this crisis, we ate con fident that we shall find that firmness, decision, and promptitude, THE BRITISH PRESS• which exigencies of this nature cdi for. Every true patriot. in the hour of (longer. wit' be seen at his post , and in eve r y bower) will be found to echo—" Salus Reipublicre, supremo lex est° !" In addition to the distress consequent upon the state m trade during the last few months, the inhabitants of the Sister Kingdom have a more gaunt and appalling foe to contend with in tile Fever, which, clothed in its worst terrors, is again stalking through the country. In another part of our paper will be found an extract from a state ment made by the physicians anti surgeons of the Dublin North-Eastern District Dispensary, from which it appears that the hospitals are crowded to excess, and have during the last few weeks been compelled to refuse admission to a multitude of applicants. In the midst of this Buffet ing, it is gratifying to know that Government has actively exerted it self to check the progress of the malady, although, it is to he regretted, hitherto without effect. At the instance of the LORD-LIEUTENANT, booths and tents have been erected to accommodate those who could not be received into the hospitals. his Excellency wrote to his brother the Master- General of the Ordnance, and the Noble Duke instantly despatched directions to the proper Officers for the tents and necessary camp equipages. The Physicians in their statement say, that " although fever of a contagious cha racter has been for some years prevalent; yet never, even in the years 1817 and 181-0, did it rage to a greater extent amongst the poor of this metropolis than it does at pre sent ; anti, in addition to this calamity, dysentery, in an ag gravated form, has again began to show itself." In proof of this lamentable assertion, we have before us the fact that the Old Nunnery in King-street, which has been fitted up as an hospital, and which contains several wards, was filled with patients in one hour. Acknowledged as it is, upon all hands, that this De stroying Angel usually follows in the footsteps of Poverty and Want, and apparent as the remedy must consequently be, we sincerely hope that those whose circumstances have as yet secured them from his visitation will unloose their purse-strings to aid in the extirpation of a calamity which may at last reach themselves. Self-preservation demands from every individual a sacrifice to the extent of his means. Government may exert itself ; but Govern ment alone cannot cape with such an emergency, if the fear* of the Dublin Papers should be at all realized. One of those Papers apprehends that a more terrible crisis awaits the country than that of 1822-1823 ; and asserts that all the energy, all the devotion of his Excellency, as well as of every member of the Government, of every man in office, of every man, in short, in the country, will be neces sary to meet the calamitous season which it fears the ap proach of. We can only say that it is the duty of every man in Ireland to aid and assist the efforts of his Ex cellency, by pecuniary aid as well as by personal exertion, where such can be at all availing. CITY, FRIDAY EVLXINO. The same dulness of action has pervaded the British Stock Market as yesterday. Consols opened this morning at 781, and the next quotation was j. They however soon rallied to their opening price, at which there were both buyers and sellers, and they closed at the same. There was little doing beyond the squaring of accounts by specu lators, who are beginning to look into their time bargains, as the account closes on the 29th. Exchequer Bills and India Bonds remain stationary. In the Foreign Market Mexican Bonds have suffered a depression, having gone back to 443; and it is presumed this would have been the case to a still greater extent, had not the Decree of the extraordinary meeting of the Con gress come in aid of these securities. By that document it appears that the Mexican Republic have placed the whole population of the country, both civil and ecclesiastical, whose incomes exceed 100 dollars, under contribution by anticipation, in order to enable the Government to meet its engagements with those countries with which it has contracted loans. Although these extraordinary exertions are favourable as regards the payment of the next divi dends, still they are somewhat discouraging in a general point of view, as it is yet to be seen what effect this system of taxation may produce on those who are to bear it. The raising of loans in England has been generally successfully pursued by foreign States ; but in those of recent date, from being young Governments, the payment of interest has proved matter of difficulty, and the raising the funds in the present instance may more easily be suggested than accomplished. An officer has also arrived in this country from the Mexican Government on special affairs with its agents here, but this circumstance has not, it would seem, been attended by any satisfactory result. At the opening of the Market, Colombian also felt a strong inclination to go hack, which they shortly did to 31, and at the close of the day they were at 311. The silence of M. HURTADO in every thing that relates to these Bonds is viewed with some suspicion; and Mr. COCKBURN, who had been sent out as representing England to this Re public, has returned via New York, Venezuela not being in a sufficiently tranquillized state to need his services. In Shares the only quotation necessary is in Brazilian, which are at 12 premium. The sales in Spices have been of a very extended nature, at higher prices and West India produce continues to go off very steadily. In Mark-lane there is very little va riation. Exchanges are generally inclined to a rise, in conse quence of the absence of money. The Gazetft of last night officially announces the inten tion of the Government (which was stated in the City article of the B itish Press of Wednesday) to put in force the Act passed last Session, for the prohibition of the en trance of ships, into the ports of British Colonies, of those countries which should deny to English ships the moat extensive privileges in their ports. Despatches were sent off yesterday from the Foreign Office, to the !tight Hon. Fre derick Lamb, our Ambas sador at Madrid; as also to Lord Granville, our Ambas sador at Paris. Despatches were received at the Foreign Office onThurs day, from the Right lion. Sir Charles Bagot, our Ambas sador at Brussels, to Mr. Secretary Canning. A despatch, dated the 18th June, has been received at the Colonial Department from Mr. Warrington, the Bri tish Consul at Tripoli, which announces the arrival of Major Laing at Timbuctoo. Despatches were rec ived yesterday morning, at the Colonial Department, from the 1) ;Ice of Manchester, at Jamaica. _ Despatches were also received yesterday morning at the Colonial Office, from Sierra Leone and Quebec. A King's Messenger arrived at the Foreign Office on Thursday morning, with despatches from the Continent. Mr. Cockburn, our Minister to Colombia, came passen ger by the Canada New York packet, which arrived a few days since. On account of his health, he was unable to get further than Carthagena. Letters, dated Carthagena, June 27. and Jamaica, July 11, have been received by his Majesty's brig Ilope, which brought passengers Messrs. Lane, Ross, Emanuel, Miles, Muir, and Clark, and Mrs. Bassau. Letters, dated Buenos Ayres, May 31, and Monte Video, July 11, have been received by the Lord Hobart, which brought passengers, Messrs. Cartwright and Jack son, Posco Placo, and Mrs. Cartwright. Letters, dated Rio, May 2t, Bahia, June 9, and Per immtbuco, June 19, have been received by the Camden, which brought passenger Mr. Stuart. 1.1 4 • t i ;11 I,• .. • FROM OUR PARIS CORRESPONDENT. PAIIIS, AUGUST 16. The broad superficies and unreserved style of your Lon don newspapers furnish us pilgrims on the Continent with the means of opining on the occurrences in the dornestic as well as ie the political circles on your side the water, while the Continental Journals, in quarto, leave you in ig norance of what is passing in the bosom of private society in this metropolis. or in the departments between La Manche and Los Bouches (In Rhone. The Elate of the weather, though a subject of minor import, serves in general as a master-key to open the door of conversation with even the most taciturn of our countrymen. I shall, therefore, by way of prelude, observe, that with exception of a violent storm of hail and lightning, thunder and rain, a few days since, we have for these two months past been inhaling an atmosphere of from 80 to 90 degrees Fahren heit, unrefreshed by showers or an evening dew. The plains round Paris are arid as the Arabian Desert. The grain and vegetables of all kinds are literally baked by the sun ; and, were it not that the market gardens are irri gated during the night, not a salade de rolaille could be fur nished by Very or Tortoni to the gastronomes of the Palais Royal or Boulevards I taliens. Yet the agricultural reports from most of the provinces arc by no means unfavourable; and, though the great hopes of a superabundance have been disappointed, there is expected, notwithstanding some dreadful storms, an ordinary crop. Fruit in general has failed ; but the vineyards are reported to he groaning under the burden of their purple clusters ; and as the what, though light, is generally good, there is likely to be both bread and wine in the land. From the intense heat fish is dear, and rarely fresh ; and porltry is at a price that forbids the pule au pot to those of small fortunes. With respect to interior affairs, a degree of gloomy discontent pervades . .. ... . every class of society, save one. The torch of enthusiasm which blazed with so much brightness at the accession of Charles X. has burnt out, and an offensive vapour is alone to be seen. The cry of " Vire to is heard no more. Trade is at its lowest ebb; manufacturers have long been in distress ; shops are to be let in every street; and St. Pe lagie can hardly furnish room for broken tradesmen and ruined speculators. This commercial stagnation is charged upon the paralyzing decrees and impolitic measures of Ministers, who have arrived at the height of popular exe cration, which the late investigation of Ouvrard's affair has not tended to lower. The protection that is notoriously given, by high authority, to a system about to be established in France, fills the minds of all reflecting persons with dis may. They see with sad forebodings the menacing aspect and gigantic strides with which ecclesiastical despotism stalks through the land. The Liberal journals thun der their artillery ; and the small shot of the as yet un censored press are poured forth, in tens of thousands of brochures in 32m0. distributed at 25 and 50 centimes. N. Montlosier has already sounded the tocsin of alarm, in Isis " Memoire a consulter cur un System Religieux et Politique, tendant a renverser la Religion, la Societe, et le Trone," pointing out the danger to be apprehended from the Congre gation of the Ultramontanes, and the Jesuits of St. Aeheul and Mont Rouge, in their pretended attempts to regenerate and evangelize what they are pleased to call an impious nation. This work is similar to the hints given some years ago to the Legislature of England, on the effects of evangelical preaching. They are both in tended to unveil the designs of an ambitious priesthood. M. Montlosier has ostensibly come forward with a denun ciation, before the Cours Royale, against the Jesuits, which he has placed in the hands of the most celebrated Jurisconsults of France. That the disciples of Loyola hare long been preparing their means of defence, and even of offence, cannot be disputed; and it is equally certain that the King is well disposed to tolerate, if not to protect, the re-establishment of this ambitious and dangerous sect, whose assessinations and conspiracies have caused them to be proscribed throughout all Europe. It would be a tedious task to cite the names of those Jesuits who have been either outlawed, sent to the galleys, or have suffered death, for their crimes. Yet the fates of Henry the Third end Fourth, and Louis the Fourteenth and Fifteenth, appear to be forgotten ; and all the petty vexations of bigotry end intolerance are again resumed by the ecclesi astics, from the Bishop to the village Priest. , The affairs of Turkey, of Greece, of Spain, and Portu , gal, occupy the politicians of the Palais Royal. The fre quent private audiences at the Tuileries of M. Vaulchier, Director-General of Posts, give rise to many conjectures. The charter granted to the Portuguese by the Emperor Don Pedro was heard read with uneasiness, at the Palais rue Rivoli. It was peculiarly unwelcome at a time when attempts are making to neutralize the charter of Louis , XVIII. There are certain sages here who pretend to foresee a great political movement in the States of Germany and in Italy. The spirit of independence, say they, has again awak ened, and is making a tour through the world. At her approach the Monster of Despotism must shrink, and the high seat of Tyranny be laid low. Let us, however, be ware, lest another Tyranny, and another Despotism, should rear itself, more dreadful even than that of the Sword, and the Crosier usurp again its power over the Sctptre of Kings.

Extract of a letter, dated Hague, August 13 For some days past unpleasant reports hkve been in circulation respecting contagious disorders said to prevail in Gronin gen. It is said that fevers have shown themselves chiefly among those who have been engaged in agricultural la bours, and they are attributed to the drinking of brackish water, which, since the floods of 1821, has spoiled the springs. If the accounts we have received are correct, 270 persons have been carried off by these fevers, from the 7th of July to the 7th of August. The Government, it is said, has already adopted all measures that can contribute to check the disorder."

PI ec lIA RD FISH ERI ES.—We understand that applica tions have been made to the Treasury for permission to use. lights from the steam-boats, in order to attract the shoals of pilchards into " shooting ground." We are confidently assured that the experiment of lights will be tried on different parts of the coast this season, unless pro hibited by the revenue laws. Preparations were made last year in Mount's Bay, by a gentleman connected with the fisheries, who bad often suggested the adoption of the measure, but being unable himself to superintend it, the prudices of the older fishermen prevailed, until the season bad too far advanced to hope foe succeas.—Plymouth Journal. • r rEll,l2_l, • •-•_;•-: .~'~"' Iklol , Ell ENTS.
