FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Journal des Debats.) ANGRA, ISLAND OF TERCEIRA, JULY 12.—We }lave not seen the vessel, the John VI., since the Bth, which leads us to believe that Don 11Iiguel's Admiral, fearing some movement in the island of St. Michael, has proceeded thither to overawe by his presence. Before his. disappearance, the John VI. sent to shore two armed boats to take possession of two small merchant vessels which were at anchor in the bay of Villa da Praia; but they were repulsed by the cannon of the forts, without accomplishing their ohect. The port of Villa da Praia is the only point in all the island at which the Miguelite squadron could attempt a disembarkation with any chance of suc cess, however doubtful ; because, although more than 400 persons are occupied day and night in erecting fortifications capable of rendering the port secure against any attack, fifteen days more will be necessary to complete the works. If, however, the Aliguelites give us this time, it will then he impreg mble like the rest of the island. Since the arrival of the Count de Villa Fior, the hostile squadron has made no manoeuvre which announces an immediate intention of landing. The island is abundantly supplied with every thing, money, provisions, and warlike stores. The strictest harmony exists between Count Villa Flor and the civil authorities. Activity prevails every where. The enthusiasm of the inhabitants equals that of the troops; and, finally, every thing announces that our efforts will succeed in preserving this island for Queen Donna Maria. (From the Messager des Chambres of Judy 25.) . , FRONTIERS OF POLAND, JULY 14.—1 t is aflirrned at Constantinople, that immediately after their ar rival in that capital, the two Plenipotentiaries of France and England addressed to the Divan the pro tocol signed at London on the 22d of March last, accompanying it with a note in very moderate terms, justifying each of the articles, and proving how much it is to be wished, even for the advantage of the Porte itself, that they may be accepted. The Porte is stated to have answered, that it would deliberate on the contents of the protocol,—that it was itself desirous of the pacification of the Morea, and might consent to acknowledge the new political relations a that Peninsula, and of the Cyclades, on the con ditions laid down in the protocol, if satisfactory se curity were given that these conditions would he fulfilled. At the same time it is stated that the Porte has declared that it would not, under any pre text, hear of an extension of the frontiers of the new Greek state beyond the Isthmus of Corinth. The Plenipotentiaries appear to desire very much to have an audience of the Sultan, in order to re open the negotiations, and to be able to furnish the documents necessary for the conferences at London, which still continue to be held. PARIS, JULY 24.—1-lis Majesty's brig La Bor. deloise, commanded by Lieutenant Ruffel Duvaure, which left the islaad of Goree on the sth of June, arrived at Brest on the Bth instant. This vessel brought with it two very beautiful schooners em ployed in the slave trade and piracy, which it captured in one of the rivers on the coast of Africa. A third schooner was taken at the same time, but it was necessary to leave it in Goree. Prince Wolkonsky arrived yesterday from London. CFrom the Gazette de France, dated Sunday.) PARIS, JULY 25.—The Nurein burg Correspondent says that the presence of Count Nesselrode at Tulczyn excites a belief that that Minister will per haps go to the head-quarters of Count Diebitseh, to direct the negotiations for peace. The same paper adds, it is believed that all events Russia would reject on this occasion the intervention of a third party. The Moniteur says—" Some journals, both at Park and in the departments, have stated, that in several of our ports ships, of war have been dis mantled, and the number of working days reduced, by which the workmen were distressed." These facts are true in the main. The measure of which certain journals have corn. plainest, far from having been adopted as they pre tend, without consideration and precipitately, could not be deferred without obliging the Minister either to exceed his budget or to discharge in the sequel a greater number of workmen.

ODESsA, JULY s..—Aceording to the latest ac counts from Marasch, ot . ?he Nth of June, the Rus sians have succeeded in pass:.nz the Balkan. Ge neral Count Pahlen has advanced 1;:g far as Selimmo, and General Prince Madam. , to thd vicinity of Aidos. The Grand Vizier seems not to ha7e been able to hinder their advance. It is universally `oZ•' lieved here that our troops will reach Adrianople this year. According to authentic reports from General Count Diebitsch, the Councillor of State M. August Von Fonton had returned from Shumla to the head quarters. The Grand Vizier had received his des patcho and proposals, and returned for answer that he h a d sot them to Constantinople, from which place the dechs:.:m of the Government was to be ex pected. JA3SY, JULY 10.-It announced from Tulczyn, July 2, that a second Russim; army of reserve, said to be 10,000 strong, is in full mach to the Princi palities and the Danube. VIENNA, JULY 17.—The Austrian Observer says, accounts from Tulczyn say that the Emperor of Russia arrived there on the Ist of July, find left it on the 4th, to return to St. Petersburgh. CONSTANTINOPLE, JUNE 30.—From a letter re ceived by way of Belgrade :—" The Porte has at length published an account of the events before Shumla in the middle of this month. The bulletins endeavour to conceal the extent of their disasters, and to represent them in a manner less disadvantage ous to the Turkish arms. Meantime extraordinary efforts ' are making to oppose with energy the ad vance of the enemy. The army of reserve at Adri anople has received orders immedate!y to proceed to Shumla. Every thing indicates that the Sultan himself will very shortly take the field with the troops encamped at Terapia. " The fleet under the Capitan Pacha is soon to sail ag73in. " The Lloes that were founded on the arrival of • the English'anj French Ambassadors seem to have been premature. We hear that the progress of the negotiations respecting' Greece is not favourable. The continuance of militii.ry operations, by the Greeks, is an obstacle to the dercfl result." BUCHAREST, JULY 4.—Large magazines have been found at Silistria. Only a few days ago it was reported that there was a scarcity of every thing. According to the capitulation, the two Fachas, with the garrison, are to be sent as prisoners of war to Awssia; the whole of the Turkish inhabit ants are, howeYer, permitted to emigrate with their moveable property to Bulgaria or the other side of the Balkan. Accordia;lY they are all preparing to remove to the interior. VIENNA, JULY 7.—A rescript ;vas published at , Bucharest, on the 29th of June, for formation of a committee of Moldavian and 'Wallachlan / 30 " yardg, of which M. MiOilacky is to be president. Half the members to be chosen by the President, the other . balf by the Divans of the principalities. Those woo are to be appointed must repair to their posts without delay; must provide means for their support during their stay; and likewise have the knowledge requisite for their office, especially an ac curate acquaintance with the contents of the treaty of Akermann. A decree for the formation of a corps of Pandours in Great Wallachia has also been - published, to con sist of four battalions, each of 1,600 men, besides 160 corporals, 16 Lieutenants,:and 16 Captains, or 1,792 in each battalion.

HAMBURG, JULY 24. Yesterday was an important day for our little Republic. The importation duty of If per cent. upon all merchandize imported into the city, was abolished, and Hamburg thereby raised, in every sense of the word, into a free port. For some years past the merchants of this place have complaine4 of the evil effects of this importa tion duty, the effect of which was to throw a great proportion of business into the hands of the mer chants of the neighbouring Danish city of Altona, which the King of Denmark has had the good policy to make a completely free port. The revenue arising from this duty is said to be 400,000 marks a year, and of course taxes to that amount must be imposed ; but, as the good people of Hamburg are decidedly the lowest taxed persons in Europe, an addition of from 25,0001. to 30,000/. a-year to their burthens will scarcely prove very onerous. The Senate of Hamburg tried hard to persuade the citizens to consent to the continuation of the duty as it has hitherto existed; but the citizens, of whom every one possessing a property worth 200/. is entitled to a vote, made a firm stand, and the Upper House was obliged to yield to the Lower. You may think it strange that the Senate of a town so completely commercial as this, should advocate the continuance of a tax so evidently unfavourable to the interests of a trading community; but the fact is, that by the Constitution of Hamburg, sixteen of the twenty-eight Senators must be lawyers, who are of course in no way affected by the importation duty, but would necessarily have to bear their share of any-other tax that might be substituted. The most important consequence is, that Ham burg will now become a convenient depot, to which foreign merchants will be able to send goods, with the power of exporting them afterwards to other countri,s, without having either importation, expor tation, or transit duty to pay. IRELAND.—Exms, JULY 23.—The public • feeling relative to the approaching election seems to have lost a good deal of its interest during the last week, from a certainty that there will he no contest. —We have, how ever, some rumours to-day that Lord ALBERT CONYNG HAM will be certainly put in —mination, but that his friends intend to poll only a few, that in case Mr. O'Cox- NEIL would be disqualified from sitting, his Lordship might take his seat (luring the present Session of Parliament. It is not, however, positively known that there will be a con test, as I cannot learn that the Sheriff has received any orders to erect booths, cc make the necessary arrange ments of having poll-booths, &c. prepared for a disputed election.—Morning Paper. In the Court of King's Bench, Dublin, on Thursday, a verdict of 750/. damages and tid. costs was recorded against Mr. O'FLArirtaTY, the proprietor of the Connaught Journal, for a series of libels contained against Mr. SMITH, a gentleman residing in the county of Galway. MA RYLEBONE SELECT VESTRY.--A 11U meroui meeting of the inhabitants of the parish of Mary lebone was held yesterday at the Western Bazaar, JOSEPH Esq., in the chair. Mr. FIUME addressed the meeting at great length, and in the course of his speech went over most of the topics that had been previously ad verted to at meetings held for similar purposes, namely, to adopt such resolutions as would enable the parishioners to exercise an effective controul over the expenditure of the parish funds. Mr. Hi: ant particularly impressed on the meeting the necessity of perseverance and unanimity. A string of resolutions were entered into in terms of Mr. Humes recommendation, one of which was for the col lection of subscriptions in the shape of rent, with a view to render effective the resistance of the inhabitants to the continuance of the select vestry. Colonel JONES spoke in favour of a rent, which he said had been the means of procuring freedom to the Catholics of Ireland. A person who resides in the hundred of ?enwith, and who is much addicted to smoking, being lately on his way home from a market town, had recourse to his usual recreation, and after some time, having, as he thought, extinguished the fire in the pipe, which was a short one, he thrust it into his waistcoat pocket, in which ha had previously deposited two 51. Bank-notes he had received. Qn reaching home he found that he had left some fire in the pipe, which had been communicated to the notes, one of which was destroyed and the other much mutilated. The pocket, from being used as a general re ceptacle, had become so coated as to resist the operation of the smouldering fire which was consuming the notes, and the owner being occupied by his cogitations as lie walked briskly forward, did not notice the slow but destructive operation going on in his pocket, which, however, cost him Si.— West Briton. A practice now prevails among some of the Yorkshire woollen cloth manufacturers of purchasing old woollen rags from the collectors of such articles, which they tear to pieces by that convenient machine called a devil," so as to make the corrupt mass wear the appear ance of short wool ; this they mix with longer wool, spin, weave, and dress up, so that the cloth appears to the eye and head as glossy, close, and fine as a genuine article, but the wear is quite another question. The imposition upon the public is one of at least 25 per crnt. The practice is worthy of the attention of the Legislature, if it be not al ',llr illegal; for the public are choused, and the con sumpt;C? of wool is lessened, and prices pulled down, — Very recently a young gentleman of this city witnessed the delivery of about twenty packs of the article alluded to to a manufactutir near Leeds.--Leeds Patriot. EXTENSIVE SFIZURE AT THE CUSTOM Housr.—On Friday last the Custom House Officers made a seizure of tobacco on board the William Robe.•ts to a very great amount. The William Roberts, Captain SIIERBORNE, was an American regular trader between New York and London. Soule person on beard, on her arrival, advised the officers to be careful in overhauling the cargo. Among the articles in the bill of lading were 150 barrels of resin, and to these barrels the officer's attention • was particularly directed. Each barrel weighed about 12J pounds, and upon breaking them open there was found concealed in each barrel about KO pounds of tobacco, thus making, in the 150 barrels, a total seizure of 13,000 pounds. Spicing OF MR. SLATFORD, THE STOCK BROKkAt...--0.1 Saturday evening an inquest was held at the Red Lion, fitoite Newington, on view of the body of lilr. Jos SLATFORD, wiLO had put a period to his existence on the day preceding. The deceased, who was about 35 years of age, was known to have been !nine years ago in possession 4f a fortune of 20,0001., which, however, had been dissipated by unfortunate speculations in the public funds; and he destroyed himself in a state of mental dis tress, supposed to have been occasioned by inability to meet his engagement; at the .gltock Exchange on settling day. The deceased effected his purposa by firing, a pistol at his head. The bullet passed throtagh the head, and was found in the night-cap. The only evicieuce which was produced was to prove the finding of the deceased in his bed-room, quite dead. lie had been in a low, de sponding state far some. months, J verdict of insanity was returned. LAUGHABLE HOAX.--The following laugh. able Izax was played off yesterday afternoon, which brought out hundreds of gulls. Although there was a lack of pigeons, the ,I.:awks were flying about in numbers, and in some instances pounced upon their prey with rapture, knowing the thing was mac. The following is a copy of the handbill, which was most inclut4lously cir culated : 100 Sovereignq.

LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING. JULY 28, 1929. Government, we perceive, have acquiesced in a system of new regulations as regards the Malt Trade. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHE QUER, however,—as will be seen by the Report and correspondence on the subject, inserted in our columns of to-day—has so contrived it, that he shall be enabled to revert to the old law should the new system lead to any important in crease of fraud, smuggling, or any other illegal practices. This, we conceive, is giving fair play to both parties, to the malsters especially. At a meeting of the St. Marylebone pa rishioners, held yesterday, at the Horse Bazaar, Mr. HUME, the Chairman, entered into a variety of particulars respecting the wanton extravagance and general mismanagement of the Select Ves trymen. Probably these particulars are not new to many of our readers, nevertheless they cannot be too often recapitulated. Reform, whether parochial or political, is gained, not by one or two, but by repeated exposures of the abuses that call for it. It seems, in the first place, that the accounts of the parish have not been balanced for 15 or 20 years, and that during that period they have been so entered, as to render it impossible for any one of the Select Vestry to know whether they be correct or not. Money has also been bor rowed while there were large balances in hand ; so that the parishioners have actually been compelled to pay interest upon borrowed money. In the se cond place, notwithstanding that the rental of the parish—the most wealthy, populous, and influ ential in the metropolis----is 704,0001., and the amount of rates 125,0001., the Select Vestry have contrived to incur the enormous debt of 187,0001. In the third place, they have raised the Poor Rates to a sum of 15,0001. higher than in 182 G. We leave these facts to speak out, " trumpet tonoued, " for thems e l ves . Th ey nee d no help from language ; they can gain no added strength from invective. Silence will do them a far greater justice than sarcasm. One thing, however, we may observe : they are necessary evils, growing out of that system of monopoly which, whether carried on public or in private concerns, whether applied to law or commerce, is one of the most paralyzing visitations with which any nation on earth can be afflicted. Nothing liberal, nothing adventurous—nothing► useful or enlight ened—ever yet flourished, or ever can, in the tainted atmosphere of monopoly. It is a barren and pestilential soil from which every healthy seed draws poison as it shoots upward into ve getation. It has been England's curse for ages. God speed the hour of its annihilation ! In our Police Report, from Marlborough street, this morning, will be found a curious— not to say an original—method of gaining a livelihood, resorted to by a foreigner, who re sides near Shoreditch. This notable adventurer has lately imported from Italy " a gang of boys and girls, no less in number than sixty," w h om he has duly trained to collect money about the streets, by the exhibition of birds, monkeys, white mice, &c. These wretched creatures are provided with lodgings by " the master," as they courteously style him—in return for which they are nightly compelled to pay him is. each : the surplus that they may chance to collect is their own. On a supposition that he receives punc tually the required proportion, it is e v id ent t h at " the master" must, at this present moment, be in th e ac t ua l receipt of 31. per day, or 1,000/. per Annum., which is just 6001. more than a gentleman must p o ssess, who desires henceforth to be called to the bar. Really them must bQ some strange obliquity in the present constitution of society, when a fellow like this—a plagiarist of the Slave Trade, lan adroit adapter of its system to the Ways and Means of a London life—can make his 1,0001. per annum, keep his carriage, riot in all the luxuries of the metropolis, and in due season retire from business into the country, with an income that may enable him to purchase land, plant preserves, hunt, shoot, fish, prosecute poachers, stickle for Protestant ascendancy like other country gentlemen, and, in the fullness of years, be interred in the parish church, while the parson preaches a funeral sermon in his honour, and the select vestry erect a tomb, with two fat cherubs in front, to his memory. 0 tempora, 0 mores ! The French Papers contain little intelligence beyond what we gave yesterday. The illessager des Chambres states that the Porte, in answer to certain articles addressed to it by the two Plenipotentiaries of France and England, ob• served that " it would deliberate on the con• tents ;" that it was desirous of the pacification of the Morea, and might consent to acknow ledge the new political relations of that penin su!a and of the Cyclades, on the condi- tions laid clown in the protocol, if satisfactory security were given that these conditions would be fulfilled. At the same time it was under stood that the PORTE would not, under any pretext, hear of " an extension of the frontiers of the new Greek State beyond the Isthmus of Corinth." There will he some difficulty yet in the way of any thing like an amicable arrange ment between the PORTE and the Plenipoten tiaries. The former is proverbially treacherous and dilatory, and for finesse and adroitness in temporising, is, we believe, unequalled even among the most civilized Courts of Europe. We received this morning a Supplement to the Allgemeine Zeitung of the 21st inst., which states, under the head of Augsburg)), July 23, that Count JOHN CAPO DISTRIA set out from Poros on the 3d of June, to visit Napoli di Ro mania, and it was generally believed that he had given up his intention of visiting the Cy clades, before the meeting of the National Congress. An additional article has been annexed to the Treaty of Peace, concluded by the intervention of England, between Brazil and Buenos Ayres, by which the two contracting parties agree that the navigation up the River La Plata shall be free to the subjects of both parties. The Re public of Buenos Ayres engages to allow Bra zilian ships to ascend the River ; therefore the same permission must be given to English ships, according to the Convention concluded six years ago with the Eng! overnment. The fol- lowing are extracts AUGSBURG, JULY 20.—The Courier d' Orient (now published at Egina) contains in its numbers of 4th June a decree, by which the National Congress is summoned to meet at Argos on the 13th July. Count John Capo d'lstria set out from Nros on the 3d June to visit Napoli di Romania, but was expected to re- turn very soon either to Poros or Egina: it was generally believed that he had given up his intention of visiting the Cyclades before the meeting of the National Congress. General Church arrived on the Both May at Egina from his head-quarters in Western Greece. On his way he visited the fortresses of Lepanto and Missolonghi. The morning after his arrival he had an interview with the President. FROM THE RHINE, JULY 12.—50 much has been said in the public papers respecting the causes and the object of the revolution brought about at Buenos Ayres in December last, by Gen. Lavelle, that it is difficult for German readers unacquainted with the particulars to form an opinion. They must have observed, however, that the greater part, and the most violent of the declarations against this resolution and its authors, have been transferred from the English jour nals, especially the 'Courier, into the German papers. An eye witness, who has resided several years in Buenos Ayres, and has lately returned to Europe, thinks it due to truth and the good cause, which General Lavalle has un dertaken to defend, to give the following public statement : In the treaty of peace concluded by the intervention of England between Brazil and Buenos Ayres, an additional article was annexed, by which the two contracting parties agree that the navigation up the river La Plata shall be free to the subjects of both powers,"—that is to say, the republic of Buenos Ayres engaged to allow Brazilian ships to ascend the river. Now there is a convention between Buenos Ayres and Eneland, concluded six years ago, in which the republic engages to grant to the subjects of his Britannic Majesty all the privileges which it may, at any future time, grant to the subjects of another Governm e nt. If, therefore, Brazilian ships are allowed to go up the river, the same permission must be given, according to the convention to English ships and the English Government. Would this attain indirectly the accomplishment of a long cherished wish, the fulfilment of which in a direct manner could scarcely be expected ? This additional article was a finesse of English policy, for the people did not expect any evil at Dorrego, therefore believed that he could agree to it without danger. Un fortunately for the English negotiations and for Dorrego, Ilivadavia had an opportunity, during the IS months that be was President,. of seeing a little of the labyrinths of English policy ; and thus the real object of the additional article was evident to him, and he opened the eyes of the people, and shewed them how dear the services of the English mediator cost them. It is notorious that in the nine years' struggle with the mother country, Buenos Ayres sacrificed very large sums to obtain independence for itself and the other provinces of La Plata. The late war with Brazil was carried on at the sole expense of Buenos Ayres, the other provinces not contributing a penny, though they will share all the ad vantages of the peace. Buenos Ayres will never receive anv direct indemnity from the other provinces, but may be indirectly indemnified in time, if the others refrain, as hitherto, from direct trade with the rest of the world, and bring their productions to the market of Buenos Ayres, for sale, or exchange for European articles. The receipt of customs has been about three millions of piastres an nually, of which two coins from the trade with the pro. vinces in the interior. If this trade closes, and the inland provinces take a direct share in f o r e i gn commerce, B uenos Ayres will lose two millions of piastres annually, which will go into the pockets of the English, who, by free na vigation up the river, would avoid the duty at Buenos Ayres—and that city, instead of b ecom i ng i mportant, would sink into insignificance, and never be able to piy its debt of thirty millions of piastres : it must become bankrupt. It cannot be denied that the free na, vigation of the river Plate would be highly advantageous to the English, and the English Government cannot be blamed for end avouring to obtain this advantage for its subjects. But, after the above statement, who can for a mo ment hesitate to declare G enera l D orrego guilty of betraying who can d ou bt f or a moment that the a dditional of his cou n t ry , w hi c h h a d b een confided troailt' Cinterests mcle (which, if carr i e d i nto execution, would be ther;Buenos Ayres,) cou ld not h ave o b ta i ne d D gorttiin of 's assent without a gre a t b r ib e. Th ere i s no d ou b t , t herefoie, that Lavalle has do ne w h a t must b e disagree able to the English , as it is evident that th e p ar ty now at o re the helm will never suffer the additional article to be car ried into effect. The three years' efforts of Lord Pon- Booby, the great enamels of the extraordinary Embassy, ~ s and all the bribes lavished on Dorrego and his creatural, are thrown away, and all the advantages lost, wh England thought it had secured by its interference in the dispute between Buenos Ayres and Brazil. It is no won der that the English Journals give vent to their vexation by violent attacks on General Lavalle and the revolution he has effected. It must be vexatious to lose so suddenly and unexpectedly a great advantage, which was thought to be secure. Letters from Odessa inform us that a petition to the EMPEROR had been signed by numerous merchants of that place, the object of which was to pray his MAJESTY would grant the free ex• portation of corn. The weather had been very unfavourable, and the harvest in the southern parts of the empire had suffered much, as, during two months, it bad rained almost without inter mission. In several districts the root had been destroyed, and in others the corn laid, and the damage irreparable ; nor was there a district that had not suffered some injury. Papers from Gibraltar of the 9th inst. have been received. Lieut.-Governor DON had is sued a proclamation, stating that vessels fitting out for the slave trade were in the habit of equip. ping, &c. in the Roadstead, anti he forbids, under the penalties set forth, any of the subjects of his MAJESTY, within that garrison and ter ritory, from aiding or encouraging such unlawful expeditions. Hamburg Papers state, that the Russians have succeeded in passing the Balkan. This is the Rubicon, beyond which it was asserted, some time since, by one or two of our cotcmporaries, they would not venture to pass—for this cam paign at least. A letter from Odessa adds, "it is universally believed here, that our troops will reach Adrianople this year." Another letter dated Jassy, July 10, observes, "it is announced from Tulczyn, July 2, that a second Russian army of reserve, said to be 40,000 strong, is in full march to the Principalities and the Danube." At Constantinople, it appears, that the tone of the public feeling is decidedly warlike. The SULTAN is rousing himself, like a chafed lion, and is resolved to make one desperate effort for the recovery of his glory and his provinces. The plains of Adrianople will soon, we suspect, like the field of Waterloo, be a place destined to be remembered for ages. Advices from Havre state that a Ministerial Decree had been received there, informing those concerned, that the low duty of 251. 10s., and 101. per cent. would not be extended to Oats or Barley. THE FUNDS.--(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWRLY 13 0' CLOCK. Consols, which left off yesterday at 88i- 89, opened at the same price this morning, since which the market appears heavy, and they have been done at 88i, and 88i for money. Report says that Go vernment are in want of money, and the Saving Banks are going to sell again. '"'"We have no arrivals this morning of consequence, not eVCII a ship letter. By the French mail, this morning, the letters from Constantinople of the 26th June, state, that the Grand Sultan has taken adVantage of his great popularity, and has sent off couriers in all directions, to call the people to arms. It was said in the capital, that the Divan had de clared that they are disposed to adhere to the basis of the Treaty of the 6th July, pro Tided that no Chief is appointed at the head of the Greek Go vernment who is under the influence of any Chris tian Power, and that the Supreme Power of the Greeks must be a person of that nation, a native of the Mores. It is also stated that the Grand Vizier has not 30,000 men at Shumla, and the fever has caused peat havoc in his army, which will oblige him to retreat to Adrianople. The Austrian Consul at Gibraltar has sent to the other Consuls a copy of a despatch, signed by the Commander of the Austrian squadron. It notifies the commencement of hostilities against Morocco, and reserves the right of the Austrian squadron to blockade one or the several ports in Barbary; also to visit, seize, and confiscate all contraband:articles going to:the:enemy, but not to molest commerce. Accounts from Lisbon state, that it was reported there that the ship of the line Jean VI. had been much damaged by the fire of the batteries of Ter ceira, which carried away her rudder, and she was obliged to cut her cables and escape. This has greatly dismayed the troops on board the squa d ron . The Foreign Market is in a complete state of stagnation. Three per Cent. Cunsols, 88i i; Ditto for Aug. 27, 888 ; Three per Cent.

TWO O'CLOCK. The Consol Market has continued heavy during the whole of the morning, and Consols are at pre sent 88/ for the Account, and 88/ sellers for Money, with little business doing. The heaviness of the market is attributed to the news from Con stantinople not being of so favourable a nature as was expected. Letters from Toulon state that Colonel Heydeek is going to leave the Greek service, and he is to be replaced by a French superior officer, charged with the organization of the Greeks. General Dentret is also to replace General Church. Private letters received from Hamburg bring ac counts of a considerable failure at Magdeburg, to the amount of 200,000 marks. The commercial houses at Hamburg are the chief sufferers. At Leghorn there has also been a failure of consequence. In the Foreign Market the only business doing was in Danish Bonds, which are lower.

The deliveries la' s week were 3,600 hhds. of which 3,236 were for borne consumption. The refiners and grocers are still out of stock, and it is therefore thought that prices will improve , as the consumption of Sugar at this season of the year I" always considerable. There is a pretty full market this morning, but as yet little appearance of business; prices no alteration can be yet quoted. Foreign Sugar° are stead; ; East India rather flat, there having been de e'ared by the Hon. Company about 20,000 bags for mil° on the 12th of next month, Hors.—. The plantations in Mid-Kent are going on more favourably. The accounts from other quarters are had. The duty is 40,000/, and but little speculation. Ons.—The market is lively both in exportation On home consumption. The current prices are Greenland 261. 10s. ; Sperm, 64/. ; Pale Seal, 28/. per tun. Lin seed Oil, 281. ; Refined Rape, 41/. ; Ditto Brown, 39l per cwt. Cod Oil, 26/. per tun. The COFFEE market shows an inclination rather to give, way. The business done this morni ng h as b een so small that no fair criterion is yet afforded as to the prices. Rum—This market is firm, and the state of the Bailer crops is a subject of much conversation in the trade; the stock however is very large, yesterday standing at 21,62 7 pun. and 1,683 hhds. In exportation there is more do ling, and about 700 pun. were delivered last week for the Continental markets. For home consumption only 2 87 pun. were taken from the West India Docks. Carrox—The little demand which existed at the Cot' ton sales on Friday has thrown an additional gloom over the market, and the purchases are very limited. RUSSIAN PRODOCE.—TaIIow is 88s. per cwt. The delivery last week was 938 casks, and the stock 4,9 00 casks. The commercial advices from St. Petersburgh to the Ilth instant quote tallow there 10s. The purchases since last post were small. Ships arrived from British ports, 300 ; sailed, 149. Hemp and flax is steady. In the TOBACCO market there is still little doing. The demand for Ireland continues to decrease, and it is said the growth of the Tobacco plant there this year will be extensive. The venerable Earl FITZWILLIAM, aCCO III ' panied by Mr. Plencre, arrived at Sheffield on Thuesdaff from Wentworth House, and we were pleased to And his Lordship so far recovered from his late indisposition as to be able to walk from the Tontine Inn to view the new market houses he has lately caused to be erected on She(' field Moor. Though the Noble Earl appeared considerably reduced, he walked very erect, resting upon the arm of Mr. PIERCE; but he was evidently very feeble.—Shejleld. Courant. SIR HUMPIIRY DAVY.—A public meeting- , was to be held yesterday in the town of Penzance, to tak e into consideration the propriety of erecting a monument to perpetuate the memory of their illustrious townsme n '• and countryman, Sir 'TourHal- DAVY, on some spot. within the precincts of the town. The requisition cow. vening the meeting was agreed to at a general quarter sea" sions of the peace, holden in that town, and was signed by every member of the Grand Jury. ANECDOTE OF GEORGE BARR/NGTON0""" A gentleman one night at the opera happened to find an • - other gentleman's hand in his pocket. On this he turned round to remonstrate, when the other, who was, in fact, the celebrated BanaiNarox, after some unpleasant a lter' cation, coolly observed, "'Pon my honour, Sir, I took it for my own." " But how came yogi to take my sno t box ?" " 'Pon my h onour , Si r , I t oo k it f or my own. • " That may be, but why, when I accused you of picking my pocket, did you tweak my nose ?" "'l'on my honours Sir, I took that for my own I" There are at this time three beautiful see' cimens of the Yucca Gloriosa plant, or Adam's Needle, in bloom—one at Chichester, the stem of which is nearly twelve feet high,—another at Bromham-hall,'l3eds., pin e feet in height, and containing fifty-three side branchesti and the third at R e adi ng , near ly seven f ee t hi g h ; eacti'° them exhibiting many hundreds of beautiful bell-shspe u flowers.—Essex Herald, July 28. The disputed Peerage which turns upon a* most mysterions domestic affair in The Adventures of a King's Page is now, it appears, a subject which is can' vassed with some degree of warmth in certain -high cir cles, where it is contended as applying variously to the , D—v,a and R—x—a families. Referring it to the first of these must assuredly be an error, for • although it is true that the father of the King's Page spent some time in Italy (which may have led to this misappli cation), the hero himself was not ushered into the world there, but at Paris, during the frightful scenes of the French Revolution. The following regiments are ordered on foreign service :—l7th Foot, to New South Wales ; 24th dittos . to Canada; 53d ditto, to Nova Scotia; 65th ditto, to tbe West Indies ; 34th ditto, to Gibraltar.
