The• next arrivals., we unticipatei,,,will possess more importance of character than almost any which in these critical and awful days have reached us, and till we can lay, further accounts before the public, we abstain from re-stating the grounds for our firm persuasion, that the original rumours of tremendous disasters to- the Corsican :(yet ern „coDfirmed) will be found to lave proceeiled upon stifficierit. grounds ;—we trust to the extent at first bel►evell_the utter dissipation of the Tyrant's am bitious designs, And his final overthrc►w. At all events, to such an extent as will afford him prac tical explience of the truth of the Bard who said, from tte tionr-factor, arid the pntirer classes of the community exempted. from the galling expe rience of meals stinted in sufflciency,-from the abominable combinations of bad men, ' While Heaven dispenses the smiling blessings at an abundant harvest, and foreign lands, by•the pro , . vidence of our Legislature, are induced to potir in their surplus produce till our. horn of Fienty overflows ! We throw out these hints for the consideration of persons most informed upon this subjecL---it assuredly well worth the application of the states man and philosopher. since writing the abort', the follov-ing para graph has been handed to us from the City The Master and Warden of the Bakers, with the Committee of Bakers of the Company, attended the Loan MAYOR this morning, with their Solicitor, as his Lordship, finding the price of flour was still kept up, notwiths,tanding the dicline of that of wheat, and persisting in fixing the assize from the latter, the Solicitor argued the case at some length, when his Lordship adjourned the business until -1 o'clock this evening. * The following paragraph • from a Bristol Paper strengthens Our opiniOn in this respect : " The gnartern loaf of zokente.n Bread has been selling at Taunton ever since Monday se'unigbt at one shilling: At Bristol, the price continues at Is. 23d !—At Taunton there is nn assize regulation, but in Bristol there is. The fact We have stated is therefore well worthy the consideration of those who deem a magisterial interference on this matter favour abje.to the interests of the Public." I .

The Montague sailed front Rio de Janeiro on the sth of Awrust ; and on the 13th, .in S. lat. 16. 34. W. l ong 27. 55. site fell in with the Spanish ship Son',fase la Voladora, with troops fOrlhrfelief of Miinte Video. This vessel, with four-otli'er transports, sailed from Cadiz on the 2d of June, under convoy of the San Pablo, 74, and carried out the 2d division of an. army of ten thOasand men, destined to oppose the Revolu tionists of Buenos Ayres. Off the iVestern Isles, the Montague also fell in with the English brig John Reid, last from Pernanthoco, from whence she sailed on the Ist of August, in coinpany with the convoy from th e B raz il s, under 'the Dort cht ter, the Porcupine sloop of Wa r , and the fndeloti - gable . frigate. The Master of the John Reid re tared, that whilst 'belay at Pernambuco, a large frigate made her appearance in the offing, and sent a boat on shore for provisions. She proved to he a new American frigate, called the Congress, and cart ying .64 guns. The Dart cutter was immedi ately dispatched with the intelligence to Admiral Dixot4, at Rio Janeiro; but from the very stye rim. force of the Congress, it was thought that the Admiral would scarcely be able to afford sufficient ' protection to the trade. Captain HEY WOOD, and the Officers of the Nereus, were tranferred to the Montague ; and Captain Dlxoty,, with a propor• tionate nuMber of Officers, remained in the Nereus. The Wit.r.tot Mmes.—On Wednesday last, by the scientific and judicious arrangement of Mr. J. M. ktutousc, an attempt was made to raise the William Miles West Indianian, frOm the Loci , of 'Cumberland-Basin; in which bile tats bilged, by means of an immense tank capably of (hi., platkg from six to eight hundred tons of witter. rhe Plan would, we have no doubt, succia,dod iri hot the ship was so fireatitiiiiY the first att e mpt, crushed between the walls of the Conahculuild,- A report has been circulated, that Lord STAN HOPE had projected a counter-blow-up for Mr.Mtx., the American's torpedoes, and that he had almost daily conferences With the Commissioners of the Navy Board, at their Office. in Somerset-place,.on the subject. ,We understand there is no founda, tion for this report. His Lordship has , frequently visited the Navy Board on the subject of having vessel (a man of war), built of about one-fourth greater length than is at prssent built ; but .we have not heard that his Lordship's project is likely to be adOpted, or that he has convinced experi enced men of its expediency. A convoy of 400 sail left Gottenburgh On the 17th inst. for British ports, of which 100 were transports, having on. board Spanish soldiers on their return to the Peninsula from Russia, - where they were made prisoners iu the campaign of last winter, while doing a compulsory service in the French invading tinny. The Emperor ALEX ANDER, with that magnanimity which belong:: to him, assembled these gallant, betrayed, and injur ed soldiers, and having clothed and equipped them, gave them over to the Representative o f the Spa nish Regency at his Court. We have already given a description of the grand and interesting public festival at St. Petersburg') on carrying this restitution into effect in its first stage.
