The disemha las failed. :h the amity hoped to glee Ulterior Calabria having better resisted the insti gation of the Chiefs of the Revolt aad the English, than the Hither Calabria, will be treated with more mildness. The insurgents have been punished.— Amongst the towns may be cited that of Carigliano, which was delivered to the flames, in spite of all the efforts of the French Generals to save it. The re bels have been abandoned to their fate by the Eng lish, and by those who caused the insurreetion. The junEtion of Generals Masseda, Regnier, and Verdier, will leave nothing to the enemy hut the remorse of having employed culpable means to seduce the poor inhabitants of Calabria, and occasioned their ruin. It is said, that of 30,000 French, which were on their route for Naples, by way of Ancona, £O,OOO have rei.oived orders to stop and retrograde their march. All these succours were useless ; those even which we expel are not necessary ; but they may serve to save an effusion of blood, by commanding a more prompt obedience, they will convince the in credulous of the inutility of the efforts of the enemies of that order which is now happily re-established, and of the blindness of those who would sacrifice themselves to the senseless fell of individuals, who, seeing from afar the peril, care little about their His Majesty has created four extraordinary tribe. wale, to try individuals detained in the different pro vincial prisons for Stare crimes.

The Italian Gazettes represent the state of Ca. bhria as most deplorable. It is true, the richest and principal families have remained faithful to King Joseph ; but the common people, it is said, are every where in insurreaion, and commit the most mei atrocities. It is asserted, that the Bishop of Cosenza has been crucified, and pierced with lances, till he expired. The crime imputed to him is, t's t he went out with his clergy to meet King Joseph, on his arrivaL They put to death, with tor tures, all the Fizoch soldiers who fell into their br e. ' ame►al Regnier has declared, according to the Moe Gazettes, that he is not able to undertake any iding against these rebels, before the arrival of Mar. shay Massena. General Stuart is in Calabria, with a corps of s,OOO English, among which there are 1,500 Scotch. Great numbers of the Insurgents have joined him, but he has not been able to restrain their ferocious barbarity. Unfortunately. Calabria experiences all the horrors of war. The unhappy situation of that province has induced King „lc ssph to declare it in a state of war, and to exercise to wards the inhabitants all the rigour which justice and the laws will permit.

The intelligence that the French have taken pos anion of Got z, Aquileja, and Gradiska, is not to be doubted ; it is believed, however, that our Court sill be indemnified for them by some other territory.

We this day give The Extraordinary Ga:ette, containing the official account of the splendid vic tory of St. Etsphemia. The sketch which we gave of it yesterday will be found tolerably corret.— General STU/oes letter is concise, but at the same time most perspicuous. We agree in all his obser vations but one. He says, "by nine o'clock in the morning of the 4th, the opposing fronts were warmly engaged, when the prowess of the rival nations seemed now fairly to be at trial before the world, and the superiority was greatly and gloriously decided to be our own." This is toe generous an admission. The French, as we stated yesterday, were 7000 strong. The English did not amount to 5000. Having given Vie Extraordinary Ge:i lir, and several Proclama tions, respecting the operations in Calabria, at full length, down to the 18th of July, we have not room for any farther observations upon this giro toils and important Thiess". -- The contents of the flarnburgh Mail, received yesterday, give the strongest assurance of a good understanding between Russia, Pru•ss., Swe +en, and Saxony, and of a new Northern Confederacy, as a counterpoise to the Confederation of the Rhine. This spirited conchal is much in favour of Englan4, in the present negociation with France; yet, if BON AAAAAA will not make a peace in the spirit of peace, and we confess he has evinced no symptom of any such disposition, the result of Lord LAUDIR. DA Lei Embassy cannot be a matter of much im portance. From the information which we communicated yesterday, it was almost evident that the Emperor of Russia had refused to ratify the treaty signed at Paris by M. D'Onaatt. We have since received Firis Papers to the Yd inst. ; and the hiamburgh Mail due on Wednesday last, has also arrived, the contents of which remove any cl , ulst that might have remained upon the subj , t.ll. All the Paris Papers, with the ezcepiinn of the Moniker, state. as reported by 7 . 44 Leydien Gass of the 49th, the sub. stance of which we gave yesterday, that M. D'On- SUL arrived at St. Petersburgh early in August. on the sth, and submitted his treaty for ttle approbation of his Sovereign; that a Grand Council, at which the Ewe alma in person presided, was summoned; and that the Mahese Lnight, Geostiowsny, was sent off as a Courier with the result to Paris. The Paris Papers add. that the Chevalier Gsosoowhuy ar rived nn the 30th in that city, with an account that, at the Council of State held at St. Petersburgh, in the presence of the EMPEROR, it was decided. that the treaty should be rtjtatei ; and that tnis deter mination was officially notified to all the Fore ;II Ministers, resident at that Court. Couriers were immediately sent off in all direftions—to all tile Russian Ministers at the different Courts—and by !IR the Foreign Ministers at Petersburgh, to their respeflive Courts.

MANSION-110CM Yesterday, a man named Stewart, and two others. were brought before the Loto May oa, on a charge of attempting to pass bad money in a pnblic-bouse. in the neighbourhood of Bartholomew fair. The worn in who keeps the house stated, that at a late hour the night before, the Prisoners came into her bar, and had each of then a glass of gin. Stewart then tendered her in payrrient a half guinea, which she, on examining, found was good, lied was about to give tile change in silver, when one of the other men asked her if she could not give sr ..even-shillingspiece, as some of the silver might be bad ? She told the man she had not one ; and he then said it would be better to get change of a seven shillings piece, and, at the same time, threw one on the counter. She then returned the half guinea, and was about to give change for the seven-shillings piece, which she had previously weighed, and foetid gond, when the man who gave it to her, said, he believed he had halfpence, and took out four pence halfpenny, which was three halfpence abort of the money due to her. The ether man, who, until that time, had been silent, then said, Ise believed his had three-halfpence ; and taking up the good seven. shillings piece which lay on the counter, he put his hand in his pocket, to search for the half: pence ; he, however, after fumbling for some time, said ha had none, and then throwing a seven•shillrngs piece out of his hand, as if it had been the same at he took up a minute before, said it must be change ed. The woman, from all this changing, swelled they wanted to cheat her, and therefore weighed this seven-shillings piece, which proved to be a very bad eau. She tad their, it was bad; but they insisted - that it was the same the swan WA of the cowmen and, if it was bad, it must have barn dm that chord • it. On this an itltercation arose' between them, in consequence of which her husband, and some friends who were in the parlour, came .ioto the tap-room. On seeing them enter. Stewart and another of the prisoners wide their escape, one out of the front and the other out of the bitekaloor hut they were pursued cod taken. The man who remained, also endeavoured to escape, but Mini prevented, he pretended to fall into fits, and while tie was on the ground, a bad seven-shillings piece fell out of his mouth. They were all searched, bet no other bad money was found, except th- bad seven. shillings piece tendered to the woman, and that whicts fell nut of the asan's mouth. An Officer they arrived, and took them to the Compter. Theperson who searched them not being in town, the Lord Mayor remanded the Prisoners until to. morrow, and gave dire Lions that the Solicitor of the Mint should be apprised of the business. RlLT7ollloaeozn. Yesterday, a man of the name of Walker, charged a female lodger of his, befrire the Magis- 1 t:ates pt thisiOffice. with embezzling and dispoelhg of a vantity of the furniture belonging to the apartment he had let to her. This casein itself bore nothing rf novelty, but was somewhat singular, in bringing before the puhlic a species of trade we have never before heard of in this Sr any other commer cial city, and which, we believe, never heft:whet: isted. The goads wbi:h were taken from Mr. Walker's house, being pawned, some difficulty _arose with re spect to the discovery of the duplicates r when they were, at last, found to, be in the possession of one Baker, a general chandler and grocer, carrying on business in the neighbourhoed of Queen Anne-street, fiat, who, being summoned, attended us produce them. Mr. Baker (one of the pets* called Quakers) ex plained the nature of his business to be nearly as fol lows :—He lent money upon pawn-brokers' dupli cates, at the rate of two pence pet week upon every shilling specified by the duplicate. If the money so advanced was not repaid at the end of the week. he then charged pawn-broker's interest on it, until the end of the month ; at which time, if principal and interest remained still unpaid , the duplicate Qr came forfeited, and, of course, Mr. Baker, .tho owner or proprievir of the goods so pawned, a 94 might redeem them at his pleasure. kle advanced goods to this sort of customers in the same way, and at the same rate, giving one month's credit for such goods, bearing interest also, which, if not paid for at the expiration of that time, the duplicate, ss before, became also forfeited. It appeared, that in U traffic, Mr. Baker carried lucrative business, and ' flocked to his fc:cl dail: The PRISTEWXO Mtn. that this sort of dealing the Pawn Brokers' Mi. rious, not only to the at large. With respell had every advantage, a who owned the goods, while he made 201. per c vanced, he also bccame goods, at the end of C. not tc.paid. With resi-ed plicates (by which many felt discovered), coming to the hands of a third person, in this manner, caused a greater degree of difficult) in the production of them, and coosavinently aunt retard, or, perkily', totally defeat the ends of pub lic justice. Besides all this, such transaftions had very much the appearance of usury. Mr. Baker, with apparent candour, replied. that had be seen the business in that light, be certain!' never would haste practised it ; but, oa the contraig. he thought It a matter that would act only prove an accommodation, bet beneficial to the lower classes in this metropolis. However, if he waa cam vinced in his own mind, that it was injurious to the commonalty, and at all tended to retard the ends of Justice, he was very willing to relinquish it intirely. The Magirrates advised hi.o to do so. And the lutthet investigation of the business, stands over fog a future day. • -.1(2,311I Sunday e►ening, the remains of the late Countess of Mount Enocotess arrived at the new London Lin, in Exeter, where the body lay in state during he night, and was visited by a great concourse of .peftatars. who were anxious to witness the solemn 'cent; on tht following morning the procession passed on is its way to Mount Edgi:u:nbe house. vested. in this very singular sort of ried on a. most extensive and ,d thousands of poor prams Iy. *oss s were of opittioe. ding was direftly contrary to Aet, and must be very ills- individual, but to the pit, Vic ra to the former , Mr, INikar and the unfortunate mum di, every disadvantage r file !r cent. upon the money he ad. me the bone fide owner of the the month, if the money wgs .esi-eti to the public, these de- any felonies and frauds were THE BRITISH PRESS. , ~ ~',
