like," who being appointed equ err y t o P r i nce Frederick, cast his eyes on Miss Dashwood, bed-chamber woman to the Princess, and she became his Delia. "i he lady was deaf to his pastoral strains ; and though it has been said that she rejected him on account of the small ness of his fortune, I do not see the necessity of believing thfs assertion, or of sympathising in the dull invectives and monotonous lamentations of the slighted lover. Miss Dashwood never married, and was, I believe, one of the maids of honour to the late Queen. Thus the six poets, who, in the history of our literature, fill up the period which intervencd between the death of Pope and the first publi cations of Burns and Cowper—all died old ba chelors EXCHEQUER-BILLOFFICF.MANCEUVRE, (From a Correspondent of the Morning Herald. The exchange of a certain portion of outstanding Exchequer Bills is advertised for the 19th instant; the Bills must be taken in on or before that day, or, by an inexplicable manoeuvre, the office insists on giving money instead of Bills, whereby the holders lose the premium. The premium is now 68; that is, the holder of each 1001. Bill can go into the Market, and get (besides interest due) 103/. Bs. for each 1001. Bill ; whereas, if he cannot have his Bill renevvei, he loses 3/. Bs. on each 1001.; and there are at-each exchange of Bills many persons holding Bills to the amount of thousands thus circumstanced, or rather, give me leave to say, mulcted of their premiums, if they should not deliver in their old Bills on before the day named—so that you may deem the matter not altogether unworthy of notice and timely warning. The amount of these lapses is immense sometimes-100,0001., for a limited period, I understand, being no unusual sums—giving a profit to somebody of 3,400/. ! I. and this is at the expense of the holders of the Bills, they being refused new ones because the old ones had not been presented en on or before the 19th ! I was amongst the sufferers at the last exchange, having deposited some trust money in these Bills. I ventured to complain of tl:e transaction; but I was told that the Government gained nothing by it. Then, said I, " who does?" Answer—" Nobody !" Then—l further took the liberty of remarking, and for which remark I thought I should have had my nose snapped off by the officials—" then the more indefensible and unjust is the loss inflicted on me, since neither the Government nor Mr. Nobody' gains by my loss." "Oh !" it was remarked, " there was some foolish nonsense in the newspapers about a person si lady circumstanced." "As to foolish nonsense' in die newspapers, I know nothing about that; only I never knew it to be admitted that any sense was written when the complaints were against persons who were so good as to exercise authority over us, and to receive our money." I was then consoled with the statement that there had just been a per .een holding 7,0001. Exchequer Bills ; he had lost the pre»ziums, owing to having presented the Bills a day too late. Now—what becomes of the premiums? New Bills are issued in lieu of the old ones—so that, if they insist to pay with money instead of the Bills, how is the money got but by taking the new Bills to the Bank er into the Market ? and, in that case, does " Nobody" receive the premiums? Well, having suffered last timej thought " Mr. Nobody" -should not benefit by me this time; so, on Monday, down I posted to the office with my Bills, when, lo ! and behold ! it was a ho'yday. " A holyday ! I have looked into the Almanack, and it is no red-letter day." " But it's bolyday !" Well, I looked into the Almanack again, and found it was no red-letter day—but " Holy Cross" day, Then I determined to go as to-day (Wednesday), but that too I found to be holvday— ,a red-letter day—" Ember-week ;" and Friday is Si ii,olyday, though no red-letter day. What holy- Why, the Anniversary of the " Landing" of Geo. I, and IL! So that Thursday and Saturday only remain, And the office continues open—when there is no holyday—from eleven till one o'clock (as tonishing!); but how they would ever get on, without these cessations from the fatigues of busi- tress, Heaven only knows. The Chief Clerk, Mr, -, has recently retired on his full salary of 1,00431. a-year : he happens to be a hearty man, but how lie eintrived to keep well is a miracle. However, it may not be unreasonable to say, re specting the excellent management in the exchange of Exchequer Bills, that if the Government get no thing by refusing the Bills after a certain day, and if " Mr. Nobody" is equally unimproved in pocket, ft might be no very unreasonable thing to ask, espe cially as the office labours occupy only from eleven till one that the holders of the old Bills should be punished with the loss of interest during the time they omit to exchange their Bills. That would suf ficiently punish each party for his neglect, and it is the ossly punishment which most persons now think themselves exposed to in omitting to leave Bills to be exchanged on the days officially named. If that course be not pursued, then it ought not to be com plained of if very strict inquiries are instituted to ascertain what, becomes of the lapsed premium., since " Nobody" gets them. Sep►. 16. C. 0. TO THE EDITOR OF TILE SUN. SIR-Perthit me through the medium of your widely extended Paper, to request the public will suspend their judgment on the cao.• at Bow-street, which appears in se veral of the Morning Papers of to-day ; and in which my name is brought before tflern in such a manner, that if it were true, would justify the worthy Magistrate in desig nating such conduct " shameful and unprincipled ;" and as I most positively deny every part of the statement, both with respect to Mr. Thompson being the author of the pieces, and that be has never received a farthing of the profits, I trust that will be sufficient to clear my charac ter from such a foul aspersion, until the public be put in posse scion of the whole facts of the case, by an action at law, fur defamation and slander. I am, Sir, Your obedient Servant, W. BARRYMORE, jun. Theatre alyal Drury-lane, Sept. IS. Despatches from Lord COWLEY, our Ambas sador at Vienna, were beznglit to the Foreign Office by a King's messenger on Wednesday niL;ht. DEVOWPORT, SEPT. 15. Yesterday the Britannia, 120, Captain GEORGE BURDETT (1802), went out of harbour into the Sound, fully manned and ready far sea. Thousands of spectators lined the shores, and among the visitors on board were Admiral Earl NORTUESK and family, Lords VALLETORT and ELLIOT, General Sir WlLLouctrav Gonnox, Mr. BOWES and family, and a number of ladies. The sight was imposing, at Britannia being nearly the largest ship in the navy; her broadsides have a tremendous aspect. The Un daunted, 46, Captain CLIFFORD, C.B , arrived yesterday from the Western Islands and Madeira, bringing a mail from the latter place to the 2d instant, but no news. Don noußes squadron had dispersed. The Royalist, 10, Lieutenant NAsur, arrived on Sunday from Rio de Ja yieiro, Bahia, and Pernambuco, having left the latter place ks the 6th of August she brings home Lieutenant CLAY, inViviided from his Majesty's ship lVarspite, '74, and some ,specie on freight. The Royalist spoke the Pallas, 42, Capt. FrczeLAßENcir, on the 4th of la,t month, in lat. 8 deg. N , and long. 23 deg. W. ; also the merchant brig Mirne, of Liverpool, on her way to the Swan River, on the 19th ult., about 50 leagues S.W. of Brava. The Royalist, on her way up harbour, ran foul of the wall of the new Victualling-office, Cremil-point, when she sus tained some damage, and part of the wall was carried away The Bramble cutter, 10, Lieut. HaswELL, ar- rived on Sunday from Lisbon, having first landed a mail from thence at Falmouth. All was quiet at Lisbon on the 6th inst., when she left the Tagus. None ventured to speak of the expedition to Terceira, though the result was well known. The Melville, 74, is expected to call in here on . her way to the Medit erranean, when that ship and the Britannia will proceed to sea together. All is on the alert here, and there is a general overhauling of the stores in the arsenal, which are kept in readiness in case of emer gency.

PARIS, SEPT. i 5.—A „, Spanish Cabinet Messen ger arrived to-day on his way from London to Ma drid, with despatches of great importance relative to the affairs of Portugal, and the expedition to South America. PARIS, SEPT. M.—Second Edition. I We are informed that Lord Palmerston arrived at Paris yesterday; that a few minutes after his arrival he had an interview with M. de Labourdonuaye, and that to-day he is to have a conference with M. de Polignac. The arrival of this statesman is not with out meaning at the present moment. We are assured, upon very good authority, that the Council of Ministers, after long and warm de bates has resolved on the following measures :- Ist. That the Chamber of Deputies shall be in creased by 200 members. 2d. That the election of these 200 members shall be made by the Councils General of the Departments. 3d. That these new Depnties shall make part of the present Chamber, which therefore will not be dissolved, if the statement is correct. MARSEILLES, SEPT. 9.—From the last accounts that have been received from Tripoli, it seems, that we are likely to go to war with that State. What is said upon the subject is not favourable to our Consul M. Rosseau; but before we accuse him we must be acquainted with the f►cts. What is certain is, that the arms and the colours of France have been taken down. There has been a meeting of the Consuls of all the Powers on account of the affair of M. Rosseau. A note of the proceedings was drawn up, and sent to the respective Sovereigns. We can hear of a letter from the Bey of Tripoli to the King of France. (From the Journal des Debuts.) MADRID, SEPT. B.—A report was spread yester day that the King was severely wounded by an ac cident to his carriage. It was however only partly true. The King and the Infanta being on the way from St. Ildefonso to the Escurial, the fore-wheels of the carriage came off and it fell forward; the shock caused his Majesty to strike his head against the window, which was broken. His Majesty was wounded in the forehead, and lost a good deal of blood, but notwithstanding continued his journey to the Escurial, where he was received with testimo nies of the lively interest every body took in the danger which he had run. His Majesty's health has not been affected : he continues his usual oc cupations. Already the Carlo-Apostolics triumphed—accord ing to them the King could not recover, and his marriage became impossible. The shares of the Bank of St. Charles have again risen—they are at 177 ; piastres buyers. In 1823 they were at 5 piastres, and nothing doing in them.

The French Papers of Wednesday have been received by Express, extracts from which will be found in another column. The following letter from our intelligent correspondent in Paris will spare us the necessity of making any re marks of our own : " PARIS, SEPT. 16. " As I anticipated in my letter of yesterday, the argument so formally maintained by the Quotidienne, of which I then gave you a short abstract, has revived all the bitterness of feeling against the new Ministry, which was so strongly evinced on their accession to power. It is uni versally regarded as the official announcement of one of those coups d'etat so often predicted by le advocates of Constitutional freedom. The first object of this official Journal was to esta• blish the principle that a refusal on the part of the Chambers to vote the supplies would be an infringement of the Royal prerogative, which is held, of course, by the party in power, to be paramount and independent of the other branches of the Legislature. The remedy now seriously proposed for an evil, which is said to be out of all proportion with the benefits to arise from it, is, that the King should be advised to decree by ordonnance " Ist. That the number of the Deputies should be increased by two hundred. " 2d. That these two hundred should be elected directly by the General Council of the Departments, ita some fixed proportion. " 3d. That this addition should be made im mediately to the present Chamber of Deputies, which would, it is suppossd, supersede the ne cessity of a dissolution. " You are probably aware that the General • Councils of the Departments are in the imme ' diate nomination of the Government ; so that the proposed addition of two hundred Mem bers would, in fact, give the nomination of a third part of the Representative Body to the Ministers of the Crown. In the present temper of the French people, any attempt at such a violent encroachment on the principles of the Charter would undoubtedly be attended with the most serious consequences. That sort of passive resistance contemplated in the resolutions lately passed by the inhabitants of Brittany, which would consist in a refusal to pay the taxes imposed by a Chamber so consti tuted, would probably be the gentlest form in which the expression of public opinion would be manifested ; but after a good deal of intercourse with Frenchmen of all classes, and with the best consideration of an observer per fectly uninterested and unimpassioned, I am firmly persuaded that such a measure as that on which the Quotidienne is now employed to feel the pulse of the public, would immediately be attended by a crisis of alarm, and if persisted in, would be followed by all the horrors of civil war ; mitigated perhaps in some degree by the recollection of the reign of terror and of the military despotism by which it was suc ceeded. But whatever be the motives of the present Ministry, in thus sanctioning the agita tion of a measure so evidently attended with dangerous results, whether it be an abstract at tachment to ultra principles of royalty, or the mere reluctance to part with place and power, it is to be hoped, for the sake of France and of Europe, that they will not be permitted to carry their designs into execution. " By way of antidote to the poison thus disse minated by the Quotidienne, the new Minister of Marine, Baron d'Haussez, has addressed the following circular to the Maritime Prefects which I have extracted from a Provincial Paper, the Aviso M. le Prefet—The confidence and kind. " ness of the King has called me to the Minis. " try of the Marine and the Colonies. " Ido not conceal from myself either the importance of my new function or the extent of the duties attached to them. I shall apply to their fulfilment all the zeal and devoted ' ness of l hick I am possessed, and which I have sometimes bad the happiness to see appre ciated by his Majesty in another branch of the public Administration. But I chiefly desire to invoke the free co-operation of the military and civil functionaries of the department, with the interests of which his Majesty has entrusted me ; and I hope that by their enlightened assistance and tried ex perience, I shall not be found unequal to the difficult task assigned to me. " The Administration of my predecessors, " and particularly that of the Minister to whom " I have succeeded, has been distinguished " by noble improvements. It will be the oh- :" ject of all my care to preserve the good whit: has already been accomplished, and even, i " possible, to add to it ; and I shall be happy, " if, like them, I shall be able to conciliate " ' the esteem and the approbation of a depart " ment whose services, always useful and ho " nourable, have not been unattended with glory and distinction. " The King's Government is immovable in the resolution it has taken not to depart from '" the Constitutional principles which are con " secrated by the Charter; nor to neglect any " thing which may tend to create a more anti "' mate and irrevocable union between the " throne and the liberties of the people. They %1 ill proceed in this course with constancy, " moderation, and firmness; and I cannot doubt " that all who belong to the Department of the " Marine will second their efforts to attain what " is so much the object of every friend of good " order and of the legitimate Monarchy. (Signed) " Baron D'HAUSSEZ." ' We have letters from Havannah, this morning, to the 18th of August. They state that intelli gence had reached there of the dispersion of the squadron against Mexico in the Gulf, during a hurricane on the 11th, and that up to the 16th nothing whatever had been further heard of it. This intelligence had created a great excitement at Havannah, and the exiles in particular were much depressed. We have commercial letters from Smyrna of the 4th of August. Business there was in a state of the greatest depression. In fact, only one transaction, or barter of 8,000 bags of coffee against opium, had been made since last advices worth noticing. A packet has arrived with a Mail from Vera Cruz to the 30th July, at which period nothing certain had been heard of the motions of the Havannah expedition, as will be seen by the following extracts ; MEXICO. From the El Espirita Public° of the 15th July.) VERA. CRUZ.* Yesterday the Eliza brig, of the United States. f ro m Philadelphia, anchored in this port, and i n an official paper, given by a person in office to one of the authorities of this city, is the followingpassag,e:—" The Captain of the Eliza states that off Cayo Hueso he met an English schooner, called the skip jack, on the 26th June, by which he was informed that there was preparin g - at the Havannah an expedition destined for Vera Cruz, with twelve transports, two ships of the line, three frigates, (without stating the number of the troops) and he thought that at that time they would be at sea. Is there then any one who can sincerely doubt of the reality of our being soon invaded ? W e take it for granted that this circumstan ce has been immediately communicated to the Supreme Government, and to the Governor and Command ant-General of the State, that they may hasten their measures ; it is necessary that the troop s f rom Ja laps should come down immediately, and that Gene ral Santa Anna, leaving other affairs, should instantly come to this place. The moments pass on, and in war activity is the most necessary. Up to to-day * No date, probably the 7th or Bth July, we may say that we were abandoned to our fate, notwithstanding some measures have been taken to prepare for our defence, but these are not sufficient. General Santa Anna, time, we repeat it, is precious, and in war activity is the thing most necessary." (From the Espirito Publico of July 18.) VERA CRUZ, JULY 11. Yesterday evening a vessel arrived here in 14 days from Cayo Hues° : it is an American, in bal last, and it is not known why it comes, since it haw brought no letters. The Captain has made a decla ration conformable to all the preceding information, adding that the expedition does not consist of 5,000 men, blit'of 15,000. My friend, the affair is more serious than some persons believe; troops have ar rived in Spain, levies made in haste by Morales in the Canary Islands; a ship of the line and two frigates, besides the squadron from the Havannab. All the Spaniards expelled from this country, except those in Great. Britain, come as volunteers, and all will leave their bones here; but union and valour, and nothing more, are indispensable, for with these we shall falsify the joyful hopes of the tyrant Ferdi nand and his adherents. Undeceive yourself : they are coming to Mexico, and we may believe they 6ve been on the way since the Ist inst. The only thing doubtful is the place of landing, probably here or at Boguilla de Piedra. I think here, because I have noticed the eagerness to make it believed that no expedition was intended ; an eagerness shown by many of the merchants here who had letters, and also because our defenceless situation was well known at tile Havannah, for even now we are not in a proper state of defence. What a shame ! The Chronicle of this morning has the to lowing :—" A private letter from Constanti nople, which we have seen, and which is of the latest received date, repeats a statement which has already appeared in our columns—namely, that a direct application had been made to Ge neral DIEBITSCII, by the Diplomatic residents at Constantinople, to suspend his advance upon that capital. The letter states that the English and French Ambassadors took a prominent part in this unusual proceeding, and that their ex ample was followed by the other Envoys. We repeat this intelligence, because doubts have been thrown upon it ; and further, because it comes from a person who must possess an un usual means of ascertaining the truth of the statement, and who can have no inducement to propagate a falsehood." Now, if the above be true, and if General DIEBITSCII will not suspend his advance, the unwelcome secret will be out a little earlier than was expected—that's all. It is not a little surprising to observe the per tinacity with which opinions, whose absurdity has been proved over and over again, are reiterated from time to time, whenever occasion serves to keep up popular prejudices. As an instance of this, we cannot help noticing the endeavours of a Morning Paper to persuade the working classes to consider improvements in machinery as an evil ; though from the outrage lately committed on Mr. GURNEYS steam-carriage, and other instances in the north, there seems little occasion for excitement of the anger of mobs against be neficial inventions. Few truths appear plainer than this—that any machinery by whose aid commodities can be produced cheaper than before, is a positive ad vantage to the consumers of those commodities; or, in other words, to the nation at large, the most numerous class of which is always the labourers. Hence every new invention is, in this point of view, a benefit, even to those who complain that they are prevented by it from earning so much as they could if the obnoxious .nstrument had never been known. It is, however, contrary to experience that machinery causes a diminution of manual labour, even in the very manufacture to which it is ap plied. The number of persons employed in the cotton manufacture before the invention of spin ning-jennies and power-looms, bears no compari son with that of the immense population that now subsist by it. The use of steam vessels has not diminished the number of seamen to whom our Foreign and Coasting Trade give bread. Nor do we believe there is any one branch of industry [n which human labour has not found its useful• ness increasing in proportion as production has been facilitated by mechanical inventions. If machinery be really an evil, why are dis _ tinctions made between different kinds of it ? Why are not the saw and plane of the carpenter to be condemned as well as the power-loom of the weaver ? Why are we thankful for the in vention of Printing ? an invention which places in the strongest light the fallacy of imagining that machinery abridges human industry, there being at least five hundred times the number of people now employed in the various processes necessary to make books (considering books merely as a manufacture) than there were when t h e world was indebted for knowledge to the copiers of manuscripts. Yet we have little doubt that very many worthy transcribers looked with as sus picious an eye upon the first printing presses, as their posterity now do upon the power-looms. The recommendation to the British manufac- turers to let their enterprise and ingenuity remain stationary, is peculiarly ridiculous at this time, when it is notorious that remarkable exertions arc making in France, the Netherlands, Germany, and America, to improv e their machinery, in the hope of being one day supplied by their own fabrics, to the exclusion of ours. However far these endeavours may eventually prosper, we do not take upon ourselves to predict, but if any thing could effectually promote their success, it would be the relaxation of that spirit of improve ment, which has hitherto led our manufacturers to adopt every amelioration of their machinery that ingenuity and science have placed within their power. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TIVELTR o'CLocr. A Mail has arrived from Rio Janeiro by his Ma jesty's brig Royalist, sailed 12th July ; we have had the same dates before, consequently it cannot bring any fresh information. A Halifax Mail, by the Nocton, sailed the 23d of August, one day later than the last arrival. Also a Mail by the Chichester, from Vera Cruz, sailed the 30th July; by the arrival of ths Mail great expectations were entertained that some ac counts would have been received of the Havannab expedition, in which the public are disappointed, as there was nothing positive on the subject at the 'above date. The Mexican Papers say that it was generally believed that the expedition had landed at Yucatan, and that General Santa Anna had asked permission to march against ir. Private letters from the City of Mexico of the 27th July state, that they had deferred sending a Conductar with money to Vera Cruz, owing to the troops marching from all parts of the interior to the sea coast to meet the landing of the Spaniards, and that the roads would not be safe. We have also received New York Papers from the North and South American CoGe-house to the 22d August, which leave us in the same obscurity in regard to the Ilavannah expedition, and their contents are not of the least interest. Extract of a letter from New Orleans, by the above papers, dated July 28 :—" The yellow fever, which has prevailed for some time on board the shipping, has now completely entered the city, and is making many victims." A report prevailed at the Havannah that the Spanish fleet had taken Vera Cruz without tiring a shot, but this report was not believed; it is also contradicted by private letters received this morning frem the Havannah, of the 19th August, at which period they had not received any accounts of their having made good a landing, or the disper sion of the fleet except the Bingham.
