troops under his orders. This movement causes some surprise. Aucseouno, SEPT. 30.—Letters from Ihlu speak of a terrible insurrection which has broken out in-Upper Egypt. The whole of the country betweett•Dubbe, Costi, and Condofan, have risen en masse, and all communication has been cut off. At Suckot all the Turkish soldiers, foreigners, and travellers, have been assassinated ; the ma gazines pillaged, the caravans robbed, and cut to pieces. CITY, Twelve o'clock.—Consols opened this morning at 8311 for the Account, and up to this hour they are 834-k, and for Money 4331,1, with a good Market. We understand that an English Messenger has landed at Dover, coming direct frOrn Port St. Mary, with important dispatches to our Government. The King of SPAIN, it is reported, leaves his family behind at Cadiz, as hostages for his return, should he not succeed in a negociation with the Duke d'A NGOOLEAIII ; but persOns who are well. informed, assert that the basis has already been agreed upon. Fo REIGN MARKET.—Spanish Bonds have risen on the information of the Spanish King being set at liberty.—Colombian and Spanish Securities are the only Stock that they are doing business in this morning. The following account is contained in a letter from Lima, received yesterday :—The Mau, of London ; Laura, of Calcutta ; Echo, of Buenos Ayres ; the Lion, Charles, and Clarkin, Ameri. cans ; and eleven Chili vessels, are said to have been destroyed in a severe gale of wind in the Bay of Valparaiso. The O'Higgins and Lautaro si►ips of war ran foul of each .other, and did much damage ; the Hugh Cranford was also considerably damaged. We have been favoured with the following in teresting account of the discovery and failure of the formidable conspiracy at Havannah, which was just ready — for execution, when an accident disconcerted the Whole plan of the conspirators:— [Extract from his Majcsty'r ship Esk.l Havaxstair, AUG. 18, 1823.—1 n my last, by the brig Re -4' I • end:, I hastily mentioned the. discovery of a serious plot at this place, having fer its object the massacre of the Governor and all Europeans not attached to the party of the conspirators, and the plunder of the property. I now add such particulars as have since transpired :—Many persons have been arrested in consequence. The more remarkable are Don Francisco Garay, a Regidor or officer resembling our Sheriff; a number of the City Council ; the printer and his associates; a Lieutenant of artillery of the line ; a very rich indiVidtial frOm Puerto Prin cipe; besides 'other white persons, negroes, and mulattoes. He who Was to have been made Governor has escaped, as has alas the intended Generalissimo of their forces, a Lieutenant-Colo. nel from the Spanish Main. It is not likely though thut they Will be able to quit the Island. Garay was ,to haVe been Intendant. Among his i,apers have been found various dis patches, as well as blank appointments, bearing his signature as Intendant; also a list of the principal houses that w e re to have, been plundered, viz.—Campos, Bonifacio, Gonzalez, Draket, Mitchel, &c. &c. They have also, seized the very handsome uniform he intended to wear as Intendant—a quan tity of flags, cockades, and upwards 'of 5000 Proclamations of the most seditious nature, together with a great quantity 'of arms, &c. The fbsgs are the French tricolour, upon which appears a rising sun with diverging rays. The cockades are green and red. Report states that there are yet above 200 per. sous to be arrested ; and I have heard from good authority that full forty thousand people without . the gates had sworn to, the independence. It seems that their plan was to have begun out-side, by burning the Salud and Jesus • Ai r ...where the houses are chiefly built of wood, and thatched, and then as soon as the town was thrown into confusion, and the troops and urbanos sent out, to have com menced the work of pillage within the town, assisted by those from Regla and Guanabacoa, and the Negroes and Mulattoes, the greater part of whom were already engaged. The timely developement of this diabolical plot shews strongly the merciful Interposition of Providence. Their plans were so well organized that, although the Government had for some time suspected that something was in agitation, yet nothing positive transpired, and they could gain no clue till within a few days of that appointed for tarrying the plot into ex ecution. Some say the 12th, others that the 14th instant, was the day fized. .Thu discovery took place in the fol lowing singular manner negro, a poor fellow belong ing to the printer, but who had not been - entrusted with the secret, had observed that his master and fellow-workmen had for a considerable time past been constantly employed at night. But what puzzled the fellow's brains was, that the papers printed instead of being given out were always put away i in a large trunk. This mysterious conduct excited his curiosity so much, tat one clay he stole one of these papers from the t runk and took it to his Qacrida (a black woman), desiring her to carry It to some white person who could make out the contents. The woman obeyed his injunction, and happily placed it in the hands of a well affected person. reproved to be one of the Proclamations disclosing the plot, and was by this person im mediately carried to the Governor, who caused the Printer and his associates to be taken up that night; and from his decla ration, and the papers seized, they were enabled to un. ravel the wht,le conspiracy. It is thought that martial law will be proclaimed here in a few days, as if the parties were to he given over to the Judges, t h e y might escape through bribery. And it is said that the Governor is determined to snake an example of the offenders. 1 have just heard that an Alcade or Magistrate of Jesus del Monte, a village about 3 in off, has been artested ; but 1 shall be able to tell you more i my next. In the mean time all remains perfectly tranqn and Ido not think there is any longer reason to apprc tend danger. A report is current, but I d.o not know if it Is well fbunded or not, that disturbances have broken ut at at Man zas. Certain it, i s , however, that for some time past parties have been very violent there. Mexico, by the last accounts, continues as disturbed as eyer. It •st Itutbide .

THE- THEATRES. DRURY•LANE.—The First Part of Henry the Fourth was the attraction last night, and ELLts- TO N'S Prince. of Ifales; W ALLACICS Hotspur, and DOWTON'S Falstaff, were again deservedly ap plauded by a numerous audience. CovENT•GARDEN.—This Theatre also last night borrowed from the matchless stores of Sli AKF.SPEA 11E. Mr. C. K EMIILE, by much the best Romeo now on the Stage, performed the character last night with unabated truth, spirit, and feeling. Miss F. H. KELLY, who made such a successful impression on the audience last sea son, at this Theatre, in the character of Juliet, resumed that character last night,. and was not less successful. There were fire, and sensibility in her performance altogether, and in some passages she displayed great energy. She was received in a very favourable manlier. JONES gave all his wonted. spirit to Mercutio, and the tragedy was heard with sympathetic attention. ADELPIII THEATIIE.—This very convenient and agreeable Theatre opened for the season last night, and was well attended. When the curtain was first drawn up the performers appeared, and gave God save the King with great zeal. The first piece was entitled, The Prince and the Player. We have not room to detail the plot, but we may jnstly say that it was well supported by WRENCH, Mr. JOHN REEVE, Miss PITT, and her sister, Mrs. WILKINS. There are some amusing perplexities in the piece, and it was well received. The second piece, entitled Dancing Mad, consists wholly of dancing. The gentlemen and ladies dance, and the footman, in attending the tea-table, dances in handing all the requisite materials, danc ing as he delivers them, and at last dances all the china upon the floor. This piece, we understand, was transferred from the French stage ; we must not of course say translated, as it is wholly dumb ahem ; but we may fairly question whether it could be better performed. The first act, a pastoral Pas de Deux, was well performed by Mr. W. KIRBY and Mademoiselle MARCIA. Mrs. SEARLE (late Miss Gruoux) introduced the skipping-rope dance, and was much applaud ed: This Act went off very well. The second act was a splendid contrast, with Turkish cos tume; the same performers, with the addition of ST. ALBIN, were equally successful. The last piece was a . very humorous farce, entitled A Matter of Doubt, or, Seven Years Since. This farce is highly diverting : The chief performers were Mr. Lae, the Stage Manager, and Mr. Wit.- 'xisisim. Mr. Leg is an actor that would do credit to patentee boards. We well remember the ad mirable manner in which he represented the igno rant Mayor lir the Drama of Rochester at the Olympic Theatre. He supported his character last night withgood sense, manly ease, and firmness. The humour and siniple nature of WILKINSON'S acting are well-known. The plot is founded on the long absence and altered person of the master(Lze) and the. servant, (WILKINsoN) imposed on by an anonymous letter, to try his fidelity, takes the former for a robber, and admirably represents the terror which the trick occasions. Both characters wero4,ery well supported, and the Farce itself is very humorous and entertaining. It was re ceived, as it deserved, with universal applause. The Duke of YORK is expected to leave town to-morrow• for the Duke of RuTLAND's seat, Cheveley Park.

GARTER MISSION TO THE KING or PORTUGAL. —His Majesty's ship Revenge, of 74 guns, Vice- Admiral Sir HARRY NEALE, Hart. G.C.B. having on board Sir GEOIt6iNAYLER, Garter Principal King of Arms, and his suite, with the superb robes and ensigns of the Order of the Garter, anchored off Lisbon on Sunday the 7th of Sep tember, under a grand salute from his Majesty's ships, which 'was returned from the forts and ships of war in the harbour. On the 9th Sir G . NAYLOR, accompanied -by his Excellency Sir E.

The -French merchants are loud in their com plaints that the chief products of France, oil and wine, are wholly interdicted in the Netherlands, This trade was wont to be carried on to a consi derable extent, In the course of the last year 'only (18'2'2) from the port of Dunkirk alone 10,735 hhds. of wine were shipped off for various ports of the Netherlands. A letter from Trieste, dated the 13th ult., says, it was understood that some rich commer cial houses had come under great advauces, with a view to enable the Greek fleet to put to sea -in a more powerful and effective state than ever.— 'Sanguine hopes are entertained (and indeed all accounts from the Levant go far towards a war ranty of the anticipation) that an end is fast ap proaching to the cruel despotism of the Turks. — The commercial letters from Venice describe their intercourse with the ports of the Levant as growing daily more limited, owing to the great stagnation of trade. On the eoilt August a dreadful conflagration broke out in the village of Monasterzyska, in Gallicia. Forty dwelling-houses were utterly destroyed, besides the Imperial Tobacco Ma gazine. The entire loss is estimated at 300,000 florins, about 80,0001. sterling.--- (Vienna Paper.) ~..-) ()WV .. .L. ~.. ..~ C . rfrfly,-,. xf ) 7 r - i \- 6 Z k -, - 11 fe 1-..

Sir Godfrey iVeb- Ster, Baronet, from Battle Abbey, arrived at the York Hotel yesterday, and left it for Chichester this afternoon. Lord and Lady Barham arrived at the York Hotel on Thursday, and removed thence to a Titivate mansion, Preston. house, on the following 'morning. The Earl ,of Lantlatf, in greatly improved health, with his nephew, Captain Alatliew, closed his sojourn, and left the Marine Hoterto return to town on Friday. Mr. M. and Lady Mary Singleton, Mrs. Thorn ton, and a gay party from. Worthing, were here on Friday, passed throeigh the magnificent rooms of the Nice, visited the libraries, &c., but all returned to Worthing in the evening.--.. Worthing is losing much of its fashionable population for winter residences here. Mr. Tierney, M.P. is continuing his sojourn with us. Mr. Eartiley, and the lion. Miss Twissle ton, remain at the No-:011: Hotel. a1...1104'1TE, OCT. s.—Yriclay. (the weather being very fine) that favourite retreat, called the Garden of fit. Peter, proved of uncommon attraction.—About two o'clock the wilderoesit was crowded with gay vehicles; about 300 persons, principally from Ramsgate. The excellent band struck up, at that hour, its en livening strains, in the Chinese Orchestra. As it is now the fashion to be less fastidious, differcnrgroupes took possession_ of the marquees, &e., w h ere in the tkjeune was set out This change arose from the example sot by Prince Leopold, and the Royal Party, on a late occasion., The scene remined us of Ranelagli in its best days; f or never was provision of a better kind pro vided; and it proved Mr. NewbOlt, the proprietor, to be an excellent caterer; gunpowder tea, and niocha coffee, bread, cream, and butter, super-excellent.—The platform was desert ed ; therefore there was no mazy Waltz or . facinating qua drille. . The juvenile aspirants among the fair were evidently disappointed---mortified--at the want of gallantry among the modern beaux. There were present among others, Count Tor reno, Colonel and Mrs. Stewart; Countess Mingden, Mr. and Mrs. hadbroke, Mrs: and Miss Mitchell, •Mr. and Mrs. Arkwright, Mr. and , Mrs. Baker, Sir Edward Hales Count Laborde, Mr. and Miss Tirdelaine, Colonel and Mrs. Hale, Capt. and Mrs. - Seymour, Capt.

This benevolent measure will therefore be immediately exe cuted, as soon as the funds are adequate to this charitable pur. pose.--A few nights ago a robbery was committed at the. Dragon, which has excited a great sensation. A lady's jewels, valued at 801., were stolen, nobody could conjecture itow, till it was recollected that two individuals, strangers, dressed like gentlemen, had come over from York in the evening, and merely stopped all night. Suspicion at present attaches to these persons."

MARRIACII: rx MGR LIFE.—On the 15th of September, at Berne, in Switzerland, at the English Ambassador's Chapel, Lord Viscount Sandon, eldest son of the Earl of Harrowby, to Lady Frances Stewart, only daughter of the hlarchioness of Bute, and granddaughter of the late Mr. Conga. Upon this happy occasion Mrs. Cows presented her grand daughter with a present of 20001., and to Lord Sandon 1,0001. a-year. The young Princess VICTortrA takes an airing daily in her private carriage, with two female a ttendants, and continues to walk in Kensington Gardens whenever the weather permits. Her Royal Highness is a great favourite with the visitors there, whose notice she always returns in the most courteous and en gaging manner. She also frequently accompanies the Duchess of Kent in her visits to the Royal Faniily, &c. The infant Princess looks remarkably well, and is a very lovely and pro mising child. Mr. Owaw, who was one of the best Portrait Painters of the present day, has long been suffer ing under so severe an indisposition as to pre. elude all hope of his return to the profession of which he was so great an ornament. Surely it might be proper, as he is in a state of professional death, for the 110-v Ar., ACADT.M Y to extend th e same relief to the family which would he allowed his wife if she survives him. Ile was highly es . teemed by all the Members, and• the g e n era l Body have always been distinguished for libe rality towards their unfortunate Brethren. His only son is a very promising youth, lie has been educated for the Church, and we understand that the LORD CRANCELLOK has recently up. pointed him to a livin4. The Duke of Yong's garden in Stable-yard is to he enlarged by en addition from St. James's Park. This garden contains some of the finest fruit-trees in England. Amongst the forthcoming candidates for the, representation of the County of Lincoln, rumour tnentions Sir WILLIAM A mcovrs INGILny, Bart. of Ripley, Yorkshire, and of Kettlethorpe, in the County of Lincoln. Th e worthy Baronet, it is said, will be supported by a strong interest. Miss PATON is now performing with great suc cess nt Edinburgh ; she needs not the support of family connexions in that place, her own power ful talents being the best recommendation. The Journal of Caen states, that on the 22d ult. as M. de la PomsfEaAYE, Member of th e Chamber of Deputies, was returning fron t C aen to his seat at Creuilly, accompanied by his Lady, the horse which was drawing the cabriolet was struck dead by th e electric fluid. The indivi duals themselves were no further hurt, exc e pt ex . periencing a very smart shock, as if from a Gal vanic batter,. PO E T R Y. ON MISAPPLIED BENEVOLENCE. (From the Latin of Buchanan.) With violets; fragrant herbs, let none presume To crown tbe'summit of my lowly tomb; Nor grace the spot where my remains are laid, With the tall pyramid's majestic shade. Rather let him, whose proferred love would claim The festive honours of fair Friendship's name, 'While life remains each kind attention show, And, ere too late, what Friendship asks bestow. For when the shears of Fate have cleft in twain— Embittering thought !—sweet Life's delusive chain, I care not then, should thorns their blossoms shed 'Mid the rude ruins of my charnel-bed. CLARA FISHER is hot the only instance of venile precosity in the history of the English Stage. The act ing of children in adult eharactzis is of very ancient date. SALATHIEL PAVY, a boy who died in his 13th year, was so admirable an actor of old men, that BEN Jowsw,i, in his ele gant epitaph on him, says the rates thought him one, anti therefore cut his thread of life. The subject of this beautiful epitaph, which we here insert, actedin CYNTHIA'S Rivals, and in the Poettat:r in 16011 and 1601, in which year he probably died. The poet speaka of him with interest and affection, and it cannot be doubted that he was ahoy of extraordinary talents. " Weep with me, all you that read. This little story And know, for whom a tear you shed Death's self is sorry. 'Twas a child th a t s o did thrive In grace anti feature, • - As Heaven and Nature seent'd to strive Which own'd the creature. Years he number'd scarce thirteen • When fates tnrn'd cruel, Yet three fill'd zodiacs had he been The stage's jewel And did act, what now we moan, Old men so duly; As sooth, the PARCA thought him one, Heplay'd so truly."

Length of the animal, three feet; body without acalet or hair; silver grey above, whitish below, like the human skin • no were observed ; no fins on the back or belly ; tail Ike that of a dog-lish ; body very thick over the breast ; by the eye the girth might be between two and three feet ; the neck short, very distinct from the head and shoulders ; the body then depressed ; the anterior extremities very like the human hand, about the length of a seal's paw, webbed to ahout an inch of the ends of the fingers ; mammas as large AR those of a woman; mouth and lips very distinct, and resembling the hu. man. For further particulars respecting this extraordinary ciretimstance, we must refer to the Magazine. Bow-STREET. 7 —(ruis DAY.)—Two frihlimen, named Bryant and Carty, appeared this day before Sir R.

He towed thy canoe and 3 men with unparalleled swiftness half a mile, when, from loss of blood, they came up with him, gave him another harpoon, and hauled hint alongside; and with the assistance or a scow, which immediately came tor from the shore with four men, they took him on board. lie prov. etl to he a shatk, measuring, from the ex. troop parts of his head and tail, 11 feet 6 itichey, and 7 feet in circumference.
