I enforced, but many are of opinion that none of the deaths that have occurred in the town have arisen from the plague." The villages are going °II Well. Commercial letters from Constantinople, by the Turkish mail this morning to the 11th ult., tstate that his Majesty's cutter Hind left that Tort on the 7th for Egina and Zante. His 4 a.ie-sty's ships Blonde and Rifleman remained 4 t Constantinople, as did the whole of the Turkish fleet. We have a file of Gibraltar Papers to the 22d `ult. Nine individuals have been executed at Barcelona, charged with conspiracy against the Government. We received this morning the following com munication from our intelligent correspondent at Paris :-- PARIS, SEPT. 7, 1829. On the authority of letters from the frontiers of-Servia, dated the 20th of August, it is gene rally believed in Paris this morning, that the allied French and English ,fleets, which were at Tenedos, had entered the Dardanelles and made sail for Constantinople. This movement had been long expected by the Turks, and is believed to have been the consequence of the rapid pro gress of the Russians. The confirmation of so itrl P°'`..ant an event will of course be looked for wi.th the greatest impatience. The accounts which have reached Paris this morning, by way of Vienna, from the Austrian capital, are not later than the 10th and 11th of August. Their contents are exceedingly con tradictory, but it seems to be certain that the Sultan, with the standard of the Prophet, left Terapia on the 9th for Ramis Tchiflik, where 'a Powerful army was to be assembled. Troops dad also been sent to Karaburnu under the com mand of the Seraskier, from the apprehension of 111 ' 1 landing of a Russian force. In those letters, which admit the agitated state o f the capital, it is said that a general conflagra tion is the chief ground of apprehension, and that orders have been issued to place a guard in ever! , house, with water buckets always in readi "s, and to have fire engines constantly prepared f or immediate use in various quarters of the town. The acceptance of the treaty of London by the Porte has led, it is said, to explanations by the Prussian Ambassador, which have opened the way to an amicable adjustment of the diffe rences between the belligerents ; and Mr. Gor don, having surmounted the first difficulties, is now laying the basis of ulterior and more com prehensive negociations. By some of the writers these negociations are regarded as the last hope of the Turks, for the stability of the Ottoman power. The enthusiasm of the people is, they say, de cidedly on the wane ; for, like most men much elated by success, the Turks are extremely liable t o be discouraged by defeat, and the enemies of the empire lose no opportunity to work upon the spirit of the nation. The most profound 811 ence is uniformly maintained by the Porte as to all military transactions, so that nothing is accurately known at Constantinople as to the Present situation of the Russian forces ; and al though a considerable force has been detached "der Abdourahman Paeha, yet the general levy of 40,000 men for the defence of Constantinople alone, sufficiently attests the danger in which the capital is placed. a On th e 6 t h of August a Russian steam-vessel appeared at the entrance of the Black Sea, where she was a long time engaged in making soundings. After firing some shots at the C astles she departed. Th e news from Jassy of the 15th speak of a successful sortie which the Grand Vizier had bade from Shumla. In the saloons of Paris the chief subject of 'onversation at the present moment consists of Port, whi c h h as not yet assume d any very de un re ite or consistent form, of a serious misunder 4trauding between some of the leading members o n ; the Cabinet. It is said by some that Sour ,°nt and Labourdonnaye, the most unpopular wh sle of the Ministry, are about to retire ; th e others with equal confidence allege that tlae nominal Premier is to give place to Labour ..°lThlaye, for whom, they say, it was all along `tinderstood that he was only to be the locum li e : l , e ns• The more, however, that my opportu• eg of observation extend, the more firmly am e eoll7 inced th at no i nterna l c h ange i n t h e pre p Ministry w ill ena bl e th e Ult ra -R oya li st j I t i t ► Yto maintain themselves in power.

Two Reform Meetings have taken place within the last fortnight ; one at Winchester, the other at the Mechanic's Institution, Holborn. At the former, Mr. H. MARSH, a facetious gentleman, well known in the political coteries at Reading , held forth at some length on the necessity of a prompt and effective reform in the House 0 1 Commons, as at present.constituted. After ob serving that the country was in an embarrassed condition—which, to the extent that he asserted it was, we utterly deny—he went on to state that such embarrassment was occasioned by the con duct of Governmeat, who, by a premature alte ration of the currency, had inflicted incalculable mischiefs on public credit. This we have fre quently had occasion to remark—is the invariable line of argument adopted by those who either distrust their own practical acquaintance with the subject which they profess to discuss, or have nothing left to say upon it. They fly to the currency question, upon the same principle that the old Ultras fly to the Emancipation Bill, namely, to prove that it has been the ruin of England. When any of our ultra cotemporaries have been puzzled for an argument, we have not failed to ohserve that they invariably fly to the Catholic Question, well knowing that few of their readers will think it worth their while to canvass so trito a topic. With regard to reform, on the necessity of which Mr. H. MARSH insists so stoutly, we have not the remotest idea of disputing its expediency, but would merely desire that it should be gradual, temperate, and in every respect accordant to the spirit of the Constitution. The embarrassments of the country will derive no amelioration from radical reform. They are simply passing clouds, totally unconnected with any measures old or recent of Government, and will work their own cure if left to the natural operation of time and circumstance. THE FUNDS.--(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE 0' CLOCK . The following important observation on the affairs of Uppor Canada is in a Quebec Paper received yesterday, dated July 30 :—" We regret exceedingly the state of affairs in Upper Canada. We repeat that that province cannot be long governed under the present system. It is really in the same state as Ireland before the Catholic Emancipation, weatber ing under a system adverse to the opinions, feelings, and interests of the majority of its ►nhabitants, and to the rights to which they consider themselves en titled as British subjects. A Government of this character is essentially a Government of force, and can only exist while it is supported by force—a ne cessary instrument of Government, we admit, but of all others the one which, for obvious reasons, ought to be the least used. We also repeat that nothing will induce the inhabitants of Upper Canada to abandon one iota of the common rights which be long to, or have been enjoyed by, British subjects in the Colonies ; and it is not for the interest of England they should." The Gazelle Universal of Greece of the 18th of July gives an account, from the camp near Thebes, of some military events between the Greeks and Turks in the above neighbourhood. In one of the combats which took place on the 4th July, to the advantage of the Greeks, the Turks had 250 killed and wounded, and lost three standards. The letters from Zante state that the Greek Na tional Assembly had been opened by a long speech from Capo d'lstria on the 23d July. It was not known whether Capo d'lstria would be appointed President of that Assembly. Information was received at Toulon from Janina and Zagheri of the great barbarity experienced there by the Turks. All the villages have been plun dered and destroyed, the inhabitants tortured and assassinated ; those who have made their escape have taken refuge in the caves and mountains. Vice-Admiral Rigny was to embark without de lay in the Conqueranl, for the Levant. Consols, which left off yesterday at 88-7,- 9, opened this morning at 89 for the account, but at present the market does not look so firm, and Consols are again 88Z: 9, and 88a for money. The public express some surprise at not having received any further official information from the Russian armies in the East. This sudden pause of a victorious army looks rather suspicious, and vari ous are the opinions on the subject ; they must be either negotiating or the country laid waste, so that the Russians must establish magazines before they proceed to the capital. A Lisbon Mail has arrived, which sailed on the 23d of August; the Lisbon Papers are void of in formation. In the Foreign market there is nothing doing as yet, and prices are nominal. Three per Cent. Consols, 884 i; Ditto, for Account, S 9 ; Three per Cent.

Consols, which were in the early part of the morn ing 88i 89 for the Account, may at present be quoted 89 to I, and for: Money 884 j ; with no speculations of any consequence, but the market ap pears firm, owing to the Express from Paris being of a pacific description from the theatre of war. In . the Foreign market the only business doing was in Danish Bonds, of which 25,000 were pur chased. THREE O'CLOCK. Consols for Account, 89i. FOUR O'CLOCK.—CLOSING PRICES.

The happy couple arrived at the altar without providing either a father or bridesmaid, and had to send out into the village for those necessary appendages before they could be united. COMMERCE OF BOSTON.—SinCe the first of the present month there have been no less than three ar rivals at this port from Canton, with valuable cargoes, the duties on which will not tall far short of 300,000 dollars. The amount of revenue accruing upon imports during the month of July, up to this date is about 380,000 dollars. The amount of ditties on foreign merchandize imported into this port from January Ist to June 30th, 1827, was 1,800,307 dollars 54 cents ; from January Ist to June 30th, Ism 2,039,450 dollart , 29 cents ; and from January Ist to Jnne 30th, 1829, 1,821,220 dollars. It will be seen b y t h e above state ment that th e d u ti es for the first six months of the present year exceed those received within the same period of 1827 more than 20,000 dollars, while they fall short of the duties received in the first six months of the year 1828 about 218,000 dollars.—Boston Gazette.

Comparing the books occupied the early part of the afternoon, and it was not till between four and five o'clock that any blow was struck ; business then began, and some changes were soon evident. Stotforth was in general demand, the odds rapidly falling from 18 to 14 to 1, and plenty to take them ; this of course had an effect upon Voltaire, who had no friends at 7 to 2 ; this is at tributable not only to the above movement, and a suspi cion that he has had a trial with Stotforth, but to the ad. vance of Rowton, who was backed freely at 5 to 1, and is almost sure to be first favourite before the day; lie is in the right hands, and there will be no want of money to force him up. Frederick was also on the rise, 7to 1 be ing taken in two or three instances. At the close he ap peared to be almost as good as Hercule=, who had no friends present. Clotilde was also in favour, but did not spring. The Cup betting was exceedingly flat, and did not vary from our last quotation in any respect. The re port of Lord Cleveland's dangerous indisposition, so indus triously circulated last week, so generally credited, and, apparently, so well authenticated, turns out to have been a " weak invention of the enemy," for his Lordship has ar rived from Germany, is in "excellent lisalch and spirits," and likely to last out many St. Legers. We should have stated as an additional reason for Rowton getting up, that Mr. Petre's horses ran extremely well at Pontefract last week, and won all their races. The following are the present odds :.--.. DONCASTER ST. LEGER. 7 to 2 agst Lord Cleveland's Voltaire 5 to 1 agst Hon. E. Petre's Rowton (taken freely) 7 to 1 agst Lord Lanlford's Sir Hercules (taken) 7 to 1 agst Mr. Forth's Frederick 12 to 1 aget Mr. Ridsdale's Clotilde (taken) 14 to I agst Lord Cleveland's Stotforth 16 to 1 agst Mr. Theobald's The Exquisite (taken) 25 to 1 agst Mr. Scott's Felt 25 to 1 agst Mr. Petre's Apollonia 25 to 1 agst Mr. Athorne's Wandering Boy 35 to 1 agst Duke of Leeds's Rhodocantha colt 35 to 1 agst Mr. Riddell's Lawn Sleeves. DONCASTER GOLD CUP. 6 to 4 agst Lord Chesterfield's Zineanee 4 to 1 agst His Majesty's Fleur de Lis 4 to 1 agst Major Yarburgh's Laurel. DROLL WAGER.-THONEAS M. TROUGH- Tow, one of the bailiffi of the borough of Preston, and son of the present Mayor, recently made a wager for ten pounds, with Mr. SHUTTLEWORTII, the Solicitor, that he would drive two apes in a car through the town of Lan caster to the Castle. The event came off on Thursday lass, when Mr. TROUGHTON triumphantly won his bet, amidst the cheers of the crowd a , sembled on the Castle hill during the Assizes. So vehement was the welcome which he received, that the cheering was distinctly heard in the Criminal Court.-11fanclicster Advertiser. TIIE MOORS.-The sport on the moors still continues good. The rain and wind drove away many of the sportsmen last week, and confined the others for several days to the pleasures of the table and the chase of the bottle. The return of the fine weather this week has brought back the stragglers and released the prisoners.—. Perth Courier. Two or three failures have taken place in Leith within the last fortnight, but not for vei y large sums. We regret to learn that Mr. RENNIE'S bankruptcy has pro duced more injury in that port and elsewhere than was at first supposed, and that many of the sufferers have lost money under circumstances which render their losses doubly painful.—Scotsman. Information was received this morning, that 1,900/. of the money abstracted from the Hamilton Bank has been recovered ; but the particulars have not trans pired. The remaining 100/. is also expected to be re covered. An individual belonging to the bank has been taken into custody, on su'picion of being concerned. One of the desks is said to have been found deposited in a garden belonging to one of his relations.— Glasgow Chronicle. DAVISON, who was tried with ROBINSON, the notorious bank-robber, and others, at Exeter, for plundering the St. Neot's bank of property to the amount of between 6 and 7,0001. and acquitted of the offence, has been detained upon a charge of having returned from transportation before the expiration of his time. After an examination, he was fully committed for trial. SA USA GEs.—The sausage-makers are deter mined to cut all connexion with the " wet 'uns " for the time to come; for such has been the ruin entailed on the trade by the exposures which have taken place during " the doings of DUNSBY," that at Bartholomew fair, which was the great annual mart for the consumption of these savory bits, not a single sausage has been eaten this year, the ladies and gemrnen devoting themselves entirely to oysters, through absolute horror of being poisoned by a " wet 'un A farmer residing near Solihull, who attends the Birmingham and Worcester markets, purchased a humane snare, or mantrap, and placed it in a part of his grounds most frequented by poachers, without acquainting his labourers of the circumstance. On the following night one of the farmer's labourers was caught in the trap, with a leveret in his possession; and, though he received not the slightest personal injury, yet his terror was so great, that it is likely to cure him of a propensity for nocturnal rambles. On Saturday last, the 22d ult., a Belfast bul lock-boat, bound for Liverpool, was driven by stress of weather into the Solway Frith, and stranded at or war Mersehead, parish of Kirkbean. As the sea broke over the vessel's side, it was found necessary to close the hatches, and in this way seven cows and bullocks were smothered, and others so severely beaten that it is feared they will be of - very little use. While the gale was at its height, and the hold in a state of uproar, one of the cows dropped a calf, and a second also calved shortly after it was taken ashore. The crew and passengers got safely to land. and one of the latter, to the surprise and amusement of many, carried a calf on his back or in his arms, with as much caution as if it had been a little child. One of the smothered Mile Was sold for a guinea, and several more were gifted away to those who had been prompt in assisting the distressed mariners. As the coast at Merse head is flat and soft, the vessel received little injury, and no doubt would be got afloat again when the weather be came calm and settled. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.

SUGAR.—The deliveries from the West India Docks, last week, were heavy, viz. -3,284 hhds. and 148 trcs. for home consumption, and 14 hhds. of exportation. The stock yesterday was 45,480 hhds. and 3,506 trcs. The supply of fine Plantation Stigars is scarce and 68s. per cwt. could be obtained for them. Middling qualities are taken pretty freely for the trade. In foreign Sugars there is little doing this morning. Low goods in the refined market are in request, but the supply is limited. • Iltim.—Tne demand for exportation continues brisk, and there were delivered for the foreign mar kets 511 puns. and 23 hhds. last week. For home consumption the delivery was 233 puns. and 16 hhds. leaving a stock in the West India Docks of 22,945 puns. and 1,936 hhds. The quotations have not varied beyond a mere shade since Friday. COFFEE.—The purchases in Plantation descrip tions in the past week were extensive, and prices were decidedly firm. This morning not much has been done, but business is expected to be active be fore the close of the day. TEA SALE.—Nearly all the Black Teas have been got through. The sale is proceeding with some activity. TOBACCO.—There is a good deal of speculation going forward in stemmed Tobacco, at an advance of id. per lb., in consequence of a prevalence of re ports of a short crop. Good and tine qualities of Virginias are looking up, and Marylands are firm, the stock being short, of good quality. OlLS.—Accounts from the fishery are anxiously expected. Pale Seal has advanced to 301. per tun. Linseed has fallen to 28/. per tun. Greenland re• mains at 29/. COTTON.—BOth here at Liverpool there is rather more doing in Cotton, but prices are not higher; the demand is good both for home consumption and exportation ; about 1,000 bales of Surats offered at the end of last week were bought in. Hors.—The duty is called 30,000/. to 37,000/. Comparatively little doing in Hops, high prices being demaNded. Picking will become general next week. BALTIC PRODUCE.—The mercantile advices from St. Petersburgh states that the Exchange on Lon don on the 22d was 10 23-32. There had been shipped off 89,700 casks of tallow, the price was 102 rubles; Hemp, I 1 1 rubles. Ships arrived, 509; sailed, 395. Here the price is 38s. per cwt. The delivery last week was heavy, viz., 3,857 casks to meet the sales previously entered into. The stock is 18,820 casks. This article is under the importation price. Hemp is 45/. per ton for clean ; Flax, 35/. per ton. MANCHESIER CORN MARKET.—Sept. 5. •Ye have had very fine weather during the past week, and the Corn trade has been very dull. At to-day's mar ket there were several samptes of New Wheat offering at 10s. 3d. to 10s. 60., the quality excellent, and the condi tion better than could have been expected. Our millers being at present well stocked, did not purchase freely, either of New or Old, although the latter was offered at 4d. to 6d. per bushel reduction. Oats are reduced 2d. to 3d. per 451 b., but no purchasers at that decline. Beans are still in good demand. The small advance in Malt has brought several large manufacturers into the market, but the consumption being exceedingly small, very little pro gress can be made. The advance in Flour cannot be sup ported, and a reduction of 2s. to 3s. per sack has been submitted to where sales could be made. Quar. of 8 Imp.

A woman als3 died at Ardley, near this town, a few days ago, aged 113 years ! She possessed her full senses to the last moment.-- Con naught Journal. We are happy to learn that a chapel is about to be built in the vicinity of St. Giles's for the use of the thousands of Irish who inhabit that part of the city, and who have not a single place of worship to congregate in on the Lord's day. Every nation and people have their church in London but the Irish. Little wonder they should be so regardless of keeping the Sabbath holy when the sacred obligation of doing so is never impressed upon their minds. We are glad to say that the design has the support of the highest dignitaries of the church, and we trust its valuable claims will meet liberal support and ex tensive patronage. It is intended that the service shall be performed in the English language in the morning, and in the Irish in the evening. MR. CHANTREY. his eminent sculptor was applied to for the pur ili:e of asreitaining; Nrheliier he was at liberty te indt-rt:ike thr cxce;olon of :z bust voted by the Cut- CmnpAy of Slietliel4l, iti honour of the thirty years' services of Sheilield's Chief Magistrate, Hugh Parker, Esq. There is something so feeling, ho nourable, and considerate in the reply, that we give it with a pleasure that will only be equalled by the reading of it : " To " Bo'grave Terrace, Aug. 29, 1829. " My dear Sir,—lt is with extreme reluctance I am ob liged. to say that my nri.sel.t engagements are such as tons• deprive me of the pleasure I should otherwise have had io placing one of my works in the Cutlers' Hall of Sheffield. And as you ate so well acquainted with the particulars of the engagements to which I have alluded, I shall beg of you to render a full explanation to the gentlemen who have done me the honour of proposing to place the work in question in my bands. " When I recollect that I received my first commission, for a marble bust, from Sheffield, I cannot help expressitn, a wish that you would employ your townsman, Law, win. has shewn much talent, and may require only proper en couragement to bring that talent to maturity; at any rate, it would be a laudable act, and the probability that you may bring a second sculptor into notice is well worth experiment. In furtherance of this pl I shall be gl id to add ten guineas to the subscription—if I may be permitted —or double that sum, if it should be required.—Very sincerely yours, (Signed) " F. CHANTREY."

The Duke and Duchess of CUMBERLAND, accompanied by Prince GEORGE, and attended by the Countess of SCHLIPPENBACH, left the Royal Lodge, in Windsor-park, at three o'clock yesterday afternoon, and proceeded to the residence of the Duke and Duchess of GLOUCESTER, in Bagshot• park. Their Royal Highnesses, after remaining with the Duke and Duchess for some time, took their departure and came to town, to their residence, in the King's Palace, St. James's. The Earl of ABERDEEN came to town yes terday from a visit to his :MAJESTY, at the loyal Lodge, in Windsor-park. His Lordship was engaged on official business in the afternoon, at the Foreign.office, with the Austrian Ambassador, the Prussian Minister, and the French Charge d'Affaires. Mr. Secretary PEEL left town yesterday mon ing, for his residence in Norfolk. The Right Hon. RICHARD, Earl of GLEN• GALL, has been elected a representative Peer for Ireland, in the room of CHARLES JOHN, Earl of BLESSINCTON, deceased. Mr. Justice BURROUGH has (it is under stood) sent in his resignation as one of the PuisneJudges of the Court of King's Bench. Such is the extreme resemblance of the Bul garian peasantry towards each other, that a traveller is led to imagine that he secs the same individual in every cottage. We often lay most stress on our slightest faults, and have more apprehension from things unessential than from things essential. When Lord TYLNEY was on his death-bed, and had not been shaved for two days, he burst suddenly into tears, and cried to his valet, " Are not you ashamed to abandon me? Would you let me go this figure into the presence of my Maker?" He was shaved, and, we hope, presented. GUERNSEY, SEPT. 3.—A great event in the annals of this Island occurred the day before yesterday. Dr. SUMNER, Bishop of Winchester, arrived, in his Majesty's steam-boat Lightning, from Weymouth, in order to visit Guernsey and Jersey, as part of his diocese. He was ac companied by his lady and daughter ; and as the circum stance is by no means of common occurrence, the town of St. Peterport, where he has taken up his residence, has been in a state of bustle and gaiety ever since. He was received, on the Pier, by the Bailiff, Jurats, &c., and led to the house prepared by them for his reception. He has since conducted himself with great courtesy and affability, and has ingratiated himself very much with all the .princi pal inhabitants. Mrs. SUMNER'S good-natured counte nance and unaffected manners have also given general satis faction to the ladies, and she could hardly have failed to have pleased, even had she not been the wife of a Bishop with 22,0001. per annum. COBURG THEATRE.—TW O new melo-dramas, each of exceeding interest, were last night brought out at this theatre, and received with much applause by a house crowded to suffocation. SURREY THEATRE.--Last night, after the performance of Black• eyed Susan, for the 79th time, a new meld-drama was produced at this theatre, called the Red Rover. The plot of the piece is taken from the novel of the same name, and the incidents are so well brought together, as to keep up the interest of the audience from the commencement to the end. Mr. T. P. CooKE, who has become so celebrated by his representation of the character of a seaman, Lad the part of a sailor assigned to him, which he executed with his usual cleverness. The music of the meld-drame is very appropriate. The piece was received, during the performance, with great applause by the audience, and is likely, with the aid of the excellent acting of T. P. CooKE and OSBALDESTON, to continue a favourite for some time. EARTHQUAKE.—COPENHAGENT, AUG. 20. —Yesterday, about half-past three o'clock in the after noon, a pretty strong shock of an earthquake was felt throughout the capital and in a north-west direction, which lasted some seconds. Most people believed at first that it was a hollow thunder, like the rolling of a waggon through a gateway, when immediately followed the shock, as if some heavy substance fell. In several places walls were seen to shake, furniture in the rooms to tremble, hooks to fall from the stands, &c. In the beginning the groundless report was spread about that the powder magazine at Fre dericksvark, seven miles distant, had exploded ; most pro bably it is the effect of some distant earthquake. Since the earthquake at Lisbon, November 1, 1755, which was also felt here, no such occurrence has taken place at Copen hagen. The barometer, which, at twelve o'clock, hal risen three degrees, did not change in the least at the mo ment of the shock. The improvement which we noticed last week as having taken place in the trimming and Thibet shawl branches of ,the Paisley trade still continues. A consi derable number of weavers have been engaged in these lines in the course of this week. The light silks still con tinue dull, and the greater part of those houses engaged in the manufacture of buckrams, foundations, and other coarse fabrics, have reduced their hands considerably during that time ; yet, on the whole, the number of those unemployed is now greatly reduced. From a survey that was made in Elderslie this week, it appears that out of 181 looms there are 74 idle: from the proximity of this village to Paisley, we may therefore reasonably suppose that the number idle, to those employed, will bear about the same proportion. Thus the number of unemployed weavers will be reduced from about one-half to a few more than a third ; while at the same time the heavy co vered work now going up, gives em num bers besid es th e weavers , e mployment to great such as flower-drawers, lash crs , cutters, sewers, and so forth. In the village of Kul_ barehan, where the weavers are mostly engaged in th e , light silk line, the number of those out of work is still as great as ever ; and a great number of the weavers who are unqualified, or cannot find work in the country, are employed in repairing the streets, or making other im provements about the village.— Glasgow Chronicle. SPiltiT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS, Some attention —more, probably, than the thing, on its own account, deserves—has been drawn of late to the Spanish expedition against conquer An on e qo ic er . attempt ..mexicovl,ith4 on 4,000 men, m h et prt l, a wo t: i f ld S s pai eettin. to imply an unusual ignorance or disregard of his tory by those who direct her government. We do not mean an ignorance of ancient history, or of modern history, taken in a large sense, as comprehending that of the last three centuries, or of Europe generally, or of America generally, or even of those three or four States which have had colonies and have lost them, whether by foreign conquest. or by successful revolt ; but we intend to say, an exemplary ignorance of the co lonial history of Spanish America—of that of Spain herself—of the last fourteen or fifteen years of the reign of Ferdinand VII. This might be thought inconceivable ; yet if the accounts from Cadiz, and from Vera Cruz, and elsewhere be true, we can hardly doubt the curious fact that Ferdi nand VII. has either forgotten or has never heard the most remarkable circumstance ofhis own sur prising story—viz., that he has already tried with more than 60,000 soldiers to retain pos session of Mexico and the rest of Spanish Ame rica, but has been driven out of every part of that immense continent, of which he now pre tends to subjugate the most important and war like portion with about 3,500. The population of Mexico is underrated at 7,000,000 souls.— It is split into factions we acknowledge : the Government is unsettled,—the troops are ill organized,—the militia, however numerous, is reluctant to serve, and not disciplined for very effectual service,—the taxes are unproductive,— the establishments, military and civil, not half paid, and the State, we believe, insolvent. It has doubtless been on representations of this na ture, that Ferdinand or his Ministers have felt themselves justified in ordering another expvdi. don against Mexico ; that is to say, if they inquired at all, which appears not quite mani fest, with regard to the condition of the coun try. But there was something more to be con sidered. Ferdinand ought to have asked him self whether all the factions which vex the new Republic, however varied or attached to pat. chiefs, ty f a r ( r ) e m n Iv o t h r ich i e t subdivisionsl tsh he l o v i llat g e r v e e a r t him to expect assistance or forbearance in any project for the restoration of the Spanish autho rity over America—viz. the party of the whole Mexican people, by which that authority Wa3 within these seven years unrelentingly and coin• pletely overturned. The Government of Mexico may be jealous of Santa Anna, and Santa Anna of it ; and for this mutual jealousy, as between two domestic factions, there may be abundant cause ; but is it likely that Santa Anna, who is said to have the command of Vera Cruz, and the parts adjacent,—is it likely, we say, that he, ad-. initting his ambition to be boundless, would favour the intrusion of a third power in the p co e r u s n o t i r l y o w f i t l h e e old r eits despotic Government, immediate policy into would b to supersede, by creatures of the Spanish Court, every man of distinction who now exists in Mexico,—to annihilate every function and au, thority which have grown out of the separation of the republic from old Spain,—to re-enact the ancient system of restraints, monopolies, and fis cal exactions,—to repudiate every pledge of honour and of law, the validity of which was connected with the birth and growth of the re , public,—to fill every office with retainers of the Cabinet at home, on whose perfect royalism the King and his advisers might flatter themselves that they could reckon,—and to commence a course of proscription and persecution against all Mexicans who have attained to eminence during the late contest, or since the termination of it, like that by which the whole flower of the Spanish people has been punished with death, or driven into exile throughout Europe, for daring to assert the national right to a Govern ment of law, in contradiction to one of violence, and toask at the hands of Ferdinand some security for person, property, and peace? It is possible, no doubt, that through intrigue or bribery a flu:- tion of obscure names, and limited numbers, may have been gotten up in Mexico, for re storing the Spanish yoke ; but that such a scheme should have made proselytes to any ex tent among the people, or have created materials for undermining the independence of Mexicb. and laying the country at the feet of Spain, is hardly to be conceived but on an hypothesis more unfavourable to the civilization of the Mexicans than we have yet had grounds for entertaining. If the handful of men just sent from the Havannah should succeed in getting possession of Vera- Cruz, they can scarcely gar rison it with less than half their number ; and to advance into the country with what remains, would, if the people be not gained over, display at once more enterprise and more folly than has yet been imputed to Barrados. If they do not leave the coast, what object has there been to induce or justify the expedition ? The log book of M. Barrados and his proceedings will not, perhaps, be very voluminous.—Times. No clamour can be more absurd than that which has been raised against free trade, as the cause of the distress existing in various branches of industry. In another column will Le found a very able article from the Manchester Guardian or Saturday last, accounting for the fall of profits on some of our staple manufactures to the ordi nary level of profits throughout the country. We yesterday alluded to an article on the subject in the Leeds Mercury, in which nearly the same views were take►. No one fact seems to be bet- ter established than that the quality and cheap ness of all our staple manufactures effectually se cure to them the home market. The people of this country are very unreasonable. They have the advantage of the most extravagant Govern ment in the whole world. They have enjoyed the gratification for above a hundred years of constant accounts of British prowess in all parts of the world. The consequence of all this is an amount of taxation which could be borne no where else, and which the wonderful improve ments in the way of machinery could alone enable us to bear. But, in proportion as we are more heavily taxed than the people of other countries is the temptation, now that peace has rendered ttlii.:l:t , r : i e i countries easy of access and secure, to remove capital t o toliceli,n; in his is happily Political E observed eonom by i o t f se a lf p . roifi,thheassamaecoiistattendency the employment of capital in Yorkshi t r o e, principlethat would prevent if equalize itd d not yield as great a rate of profit there as in K en t or Surrey, r egu l ates its distribution among the different cou ntr i es o f the world.
