above epoch all was-ready, for an arrangement, the result of which was expected in a few days. The basis of the treaty with the Cortes was ar ranged. On the 6th General Ballasteros passed in review 12,000 Spaniards, in presence of the Officers of the Etat-Major of Gen. Molitor. At the moment of the departure of the Courier from Madrid, who is said to be the bearer of important news, they were printing in the above capital a Proclamation of the highest importance from the Prince Generalissimo. It is asserted that it relates to all the arrangements made with divers Spanish Generals, and that it contains also a severe reprimand on the principles and conduct of the Regency of Madrid since its establish ment.—lt is also reported on 'Change that an arrangement has taken place with the town o Carthagetia; and an engagement between Mar, steal Moncey and Generals Milans and Llobera. Spanish Bonds have experienced a gradual rise. No one doubts on 'Change to day, but that the negociations of the Lours made by the. Cortes - trill be one of the bases of the Treaty com menced. (front the Done, Aug. 21.) AItMV OF THE PYRENEES. SAN. Cu vr, Kn0.15.---Milans and Llobera united their forces at Montblanck, amounting to about 5 or 6,000 men; and matuvuvred for the relief of Seu d'Urgel ; but. a change in the march caused us to presume that their intention might he to succour Figueras, or to disturb the blockade of Barcelona. General Tremelin, who was pur suing the enemy, joined the troops of Baron d'Eroles, and came up with the Constitution alists, on the 14th, at Cabriana, and attacked them with great spirit. The enemy retired, and took a strong position at Caldes, and defended himself obstinately against the 16th regiment of the line, and 1,200 men of the corps of Baron d'Eroles : but two battalions of the 60th having arrived on the field of battle, attacked the enemy vigorously on his two flanks ; and the Constitu tionalists being turned, and put in disorder, at. tempted to rally at Moya, from whence they retired to Lestang, m hitheY we 'are pursuing them. MATAno, AUG. 15.—The enemy vainly at tempted to rally at Merga. Defeated again, he took to flight towards Lestang. The two bat talions of the Bth, who formed the garrison of Vique, can do him a great deal of mischief. A column detached from the blockading army of Barcelona marches on Gariga. The po pulation between Vigo and Manresa stew great enthusiasm. Every where they take up arms against Milans. P.S.—The tu:ws of the submission of Ballas teros, transmitted by the telegraph, has arrived this moment at head-quarters. Judge the effect. it must prothice on Milans under present circum stances. MAnaiD, AUG. 15.-1 write all the on cuts of Madrid. Tim submission of Zayas appears certain. Cuidad Rodrigo, it is said, I►i3 surrendered to Carlos O'llonnel. The few troops remaining in Estremadura are going to follow the example of Ballasteros. Letters which this moment arrive announce, that Carthagena has opened her gates to us. They write from Lisbon of the 4th,—" The son of General Bourmont, who has arrived here, has set off for Seville this morning in a vessel laden with pieces of artillery and ammunition, furnished by the Portuguese Government. Two other vessels are preparing in the port to carry more ammunition for the same destination." Letters from Port Sainte Marie of the 10th announce, that the subtnisssion of Dallasteros has produced at Cadiz all the effects that were expected. The faithful subjects of the King conceive the most legitimate hopes, and consternation reigns amongst the Liberals.— People attached to that party say it is impossible to resist, and that it is necessary to capitulate.— It is not doubted that on tile arrival of the Prince Generalissimo they will offer to capitulate. On - e of our Contemporaries has published a curious version of the origin of the part which England is to take, as Mediator, in the negocia tions at Cadiz. The French Government, it ap pears, according to this strange story, corn plained of the violation of the blockade of Cadiz by the Tribune frigate ; and M.deCnxrc.tunaTAND accompanied the remonstrance by the remark, that 44 such a violation of the blockade could only be permitted for purposes of mediation ;" whereupon " our Ministers were about to speak, when dis patches also arrived from Sir WILLIAM A'Couttr, containing a solicitation from the Cortes for our friendly offices I !"—O f course, after this felicitous concurrence of events, occasioned by a viola tion of the French blockade on the one hand, and by the despair of the Cortes on the other, " matters fell easily enough into their present auspicious train ! :"—Making every allowance for the eccentric characterof lll.de CIIATEAUBRIAND, we confess that we should not have expected,even from him, the declaration that an open insult to the French flag, and the forcible breach of a French blockade, might sometimes be permitted if the motive for the outrage happened to be a friendly one! certainly no method for obtaining the confi deuce of a belligerent in the moderation and jus tice of the Mediator, could be more happy than that of commencing his character of Pacificator by an act of hostility !—Fudge! CITY, Twelve o'clock. --Consols opened this morning at S2B, 83, went up to 831, but declin ed again to The Expresses from Paris this morning have brought the Routes at 931. 50c.; Spanish 441. It is still the opinion that. it will be some days before we hear the result of the negociation at Cadiz ; but great hopes are enter tained at Paris of a favourable result. In the earlier part of the morning a great deal of busi ness was doing. FOREIGN FtsNns..-:-The business was rather brisk in the above Market this morning, owing to Spanish. Bonds rising at Paris, and an intimation in the French Papers that the Spanish Loan would be acknowledged in the pending negocia tion. The following letter from the Captain of the Nassau hp; been received by the owners : LtsuoN, Auo-..9.—0n arriving at Corunna I found that place in a state of siege, and therefore sailed far Vigo but on arriving off the Bayona Islands, I received information from a fisherman which determined me to anchor in the Bay. Here a gentleman came on board, helieving us to be friends, and in. formed me that Sir Robert Wilson was on one of the islands. I then sent the boat off, and brought Sir Robert Wilson, with three of his friends, on board. In the course of the day a vas.. senger went on shore to obtain information, but he was advised to lose no time in returning; and recommended us to stand out to sea immediately, as an armed force at Vigo was preparing to set out in search of Sir Robert and his party. I instantly got under. weigh, .and made for this port, whcre I arrived on the 7th instant. Some little confusion has been created by our having Sir Robert Wilson and his party, and we have a guard of twenty men on board; but I expect to sail to-night for Gib. raltar. It will probably be reported that we have put in here in distress for provisions andwater, but that is not the case, as it is only to gam a day or two for the Dove schooner to arrive here from Vigo. • LISBON, AUG.

Letters patent have pasted the Great Seal of Ireland, appointing the Marquis of LONDONDZILRY to be Cuatos llotulontm for the County of Down. The office of Mister of the King's Hounds has, in consequence of the death of the Marquis CORNWALLIS, become vacant. A. mistinderstanding, it is said, has arisen be tween the Commissioners of the Customs and the individuals who act, in ►he capacity' of brokers and agents for the clearance of vessels, goods, &c. The Commissioners, it seems are now empowered to grant licences to those persons (for which certain fees are to be paid),aud without such authority no one will be permitted to act. To several agents this authority has by the Commissioners been refused, solely on the ground that some •of their relatives held situations in the Custom-house, although their characters and correctness in transacting their - business have never been called in question, and some have for years been so employed, after hav ing given premiums to their predecessors, in the same manner as is daily practised in other con cerns. The question has, however, been referred to the Law Officers of the Crown . for their deci sion, and in the mean time the individuals are permitted to continue their avocations at the Custom-house.--( Times.)

On Thursday morning, after viewing the works in and about the harbour and basin, his Grace embarked on board the Britannia steam vessel for Calais. When the vessel put off from the quay, the guns at the heights tired a sa lute, and the crowds on shore cheered the illus trious hero with great enthusiasm. A letter dated Cassil, 31st July, says, the Writer of the letter which threatened the death of his Royal Highness the Elector, is discovered. He was formerly a Non-commissioned Officer. People are utterly astonished what could induce the man to take such a step, as the circumstances of his family are in every respect good. STIN:.OFFICE, Tiro o'ClocL We. have just received authentic intelligence from Ferrol, of so late a date as the 15th instant. Corunna had not fallen.—The garrison had been for three days in communication with the be siegers. --A suspension of hostilities had beeu agreed on, and hostages were exchanged. CHANCERY RECORDS. The labour and researches promoted by the Royal Commissioners on piablio records, have led to the discovery of a great variety and number of unarranged records of the Court of Chancery. They have been found dispersed through the record-office, the chapel, and the room in the White Tower, in lockers, drawers, and cupboards, as well as in the great heap (where many charters. were also found), under the arch in the Tower of the City of London. They consist of partitions of lands, assignments of dower, writs of seirCfarias to repeal letters patent, with the pleading thereon ; " of these latter documents there are 56 issued on behalf of Henry Prince of Wales, to repeal letters patent of Qugen Elizabeth, by which she had granted to divers persons sererarof the posses. sions of the Duchy of Cornwall." There are, besides, many other curious and valuable doeuments of the reigns of Henry VII. and Henry VIII. ' and various odic: important records relating to lands. 'When the records in the Tower were. ex amined in 180, by order of Parliament, according to the return, it does not appear to have been known that there were any pro-. ceedings in the Court of Chancery preserved there, of an earlier date than the reign of Queen Elizabeth, except some few in the reign of Henry VII.; and there have since been discoverk; besides the Alocuments already noted, in an obscure part &the North Gallery of the Chapel of the White Tower, a series of those proceedings, consisting of bundles of bills, - answers, and depositions, during the reigns of Henry VI., Edward IV t and V., and Richard 111. The great mass uf unsorted records lying under the arch at the north-east corner of the White Tower, first discovered in the year PIO, have been taken otlt and sorted. •The Chancery records . ; to the amount, of up. wards of seven thousand, have since been unfolded, cleaned, smoothed, .and arranged, in portfolios, under the names of the several Chancellors ; chiefly during the reigns of • Henry . 111., I en ry VIII., Ed ward VI „ Philip and Mary, Queen Elizabeth, and James I. There have already been found (observe the Royal Commissioners) the proceedings in eight lnintlred and forty suits, whilst Cardinal- Woliey was „Chancellor ; the proceedings in 1,5ti0 suits in the Chancellor ship of Sir Thomas Audley, and the proceedings in 1450 suits in the time of Sir N. Bacon. EDWARD FITZGERALD, ESQ.—We are sorry to hear that this Gentleman died, on the 3d ofJune, at Sierra Leone. lie was a victim to a malignant fever, which hail for some time visited, the Co.' lolly. He held the offices of Chief Justice and Judge ,of the Vice-Admiralty Court, a nd a l so • was Commissioner of Arbitration on the part of his MAJesTy. under the Treaty for the Preven tion of the ! 4 I _aye Trade. Mr. FITZGERALD was a native of Ireland, and well-known in. this me. tropolis as the Editor of The Pilot, an Evening Paper, which has been extinct some years. fie was mild in his manners, but of a spirited and liberal disposition. He possessed poetical talents, which, if duly cultivated, would have raised his name to distinction, but the daily labours of a public print, and afterwards. the duties attached to his appointments abroad, induced him to bid farewell to the Muses. - His character was highly respected by all who had the pleasure.of know ing .him his•legal capacity he blended mercy with justice. • Pcutyor ROIIERT.I3I.OONIFIELD.---011 day, Aug. 19, at Sheffield, Bedfordshire, in his 57th year, died Robert Illeoudield, author of the Farmer's Boy,' ke. e. 111* constitution, - naturally weak, had of late years become alarmingly impaired every fresh attack left him still weaker ; thelast, it was feared, had he survived it, would have fixed hint in a state of mental aberration, to which himself and dearest . friends must have preferred his death. • A Letter from Switzerland communicates the extraordinary fact, that- a hetiv y snow storm visited that country on the 17th ult. The snow fell for some hours, till it reached the depth of four. feet. The cattle on the Alps were seriously incorivenienced by it. It was four days before the snow disappeared. A subscription is opened at Hereford in behalf of the Spaniards, and 271. is already subscribed. .General QUIROGA'S wife has arrived in Lou. don, after a short midenee in France, where she met with every kind of ill-treatment from th e Police. In one village she was asked tive or six times for her passport—in another she was ordered, to change her residence, because the innkeeper with whom she lodged had the reputation of being a Liberal.— Nobody, however, went further than the Prefect of VANN FN. This Gentleman made Madame QuireoGa come betbre him while he was taking his coffee. lie told her that the Atonitesir announced officially the surrender of Cadiz, and he commented on this news like a P o li ce Offi cer and an Ultra. Madame Quinotta requested him to inform her why she was sent for. The Prefect then told her that Quinoon should have acted like Monmio., On this she repli e d w i t h dignity -4' While there is a single inch ofC ground in Spain where theon. stitutiun is obeyed, General Qui ROUA will be ready to shed the last drop of his blood in its defence ;" and she went away. - Undoubtedly the Prefect expects the re. ward of this good deed done in the cause of Legitimacy and we fancy we arc doiag him a service by making his conduct publicly known; for though he will be despised by every man of gentlemanly and delicate feelings, the Missionaries will heap benedictions on him,.the King will load hint with favours. and the Drapeam Blanc will immortalize him with its praise.— ( Morning Chronicle.) PA Ills, AUG. ig.—At length it is known where the agents Cleret and Mustard have taken re. fuge ; they are in England. Cleret left Paris in the disguise of a valet-de-chambre to a tender beauty, whose postillion had orders to drive full speed. The noble English belle, by the aid of her livery, easily eluded the vigilante of the Police of Calais, and the illustrious bankrupt arrived at London without experiencing any im pediment. Presuming upon the impunity which the British laws afford to him, he audaciously frequents the Parks and Theatre ; and, on th e day of the closiqg of the. King's Theatre (Opera), he was conspicuous in the pit, by the richness of his attire and fashionable airs. Mussurd has reached Southampton incognito.---( The Elate.)

On the Sunday, the attack wa s made by Ryding, and there could be no doubt in the minds of those who saw the bat in Co&rt, that if it had not been both very high-crowned and very hard, the blows of the cleaver must have fractured Mr. llorrocks'a, skull, if not killed lu m • ort the spot.

KEAN.—There has been a controversy , among the Correspondents of The Cork ridver tiver and The Cork Mercantile Chronicle respect ing the theatrical merits of Mr. KEAN, as well as between the Editors of those Papers. The' for mer Editor seems to have much the advantage in judgment and taste. Ile acknowledges the merits, and points out the deficiencies of this fortunate actor. The other Editor is more of a panegyrist than a critic, and, as a proof that his judgment is not very sound, he speaks in high terms of Mr. KEAN'S Lear, a character in which even the more judicious of his London admirers admitted that lie was by no means successful.—The Gork Chronicle says " It may be said that in these scenes (of Lear) SIIAILSPEARE did a great deal for KEAN, but I answer that KLAN did a great deal for SHAKSPEARE !!:" After this critic bigotry, or rather folly, what can be thought of the writer. It is, however, proper to state, that this senseless rant came for a Coirespondent of I the Paper. It may fairly be said, that if Mr. KEAN had confined himself merely to those cha racters for which he is fit, his popularity, arising from his spirit rather than his judgment, would not have declined ; but Romeo, Hamlet, Don Felix, and other characters requiring elegance of manners, were certainly quite unsuitable to 'his talents and general habits. KING CILUILES'S Pnayea boob.--Consider able interest was excited in Dumfries, last week, by the sale of a valuable library, the property of the late J. Busby Maitland, Esq. of Eccles. Not a few of the books were rare and curious, and in general they brought handsome prices. An old folio prayer-book sold for 101. after a keen contest , between a nobleman and a professional gentleman. On a leaf of this volume, which bears the Stuart arms, is written " King Charles' Prayer Book,' and it is said to be the identical copy which his Majesty read from on the scaffold, in his last and trying hour. It farther appears to have be longed to Dr. John Hutton, physician to King William, and a native of Carlaverock, near Dumfries. The same distinguished individual bequeathed his library to the Presbytery of Dum fries, and purchased, besides, an estate in the parish of Colvend, which cost only 1,0001. but which now adds about 500/, per annum to the session funds of his native parish, TUE CLERICAL Gows.—Mr. Suckling, a clergyman of Norfolk, having a quarrel with a neighbouring gentleman who insulted him, and at' last told Doctor, your gown is your pro tection," replied, " It may be mine, but it shall not be yours;" and, pulling it off, thrashed the aggressor.

Bay. "He *got safely alongside the Royal yacht, and his Ma jesty, pleased with the novel Aim: of the dwarfish and adven turous sailor, ordered ten sovereigns and a plen drill supply of pre, visions to be presented to him in the act of delivering which, a leg of mutton, carelessly put on. board, nearly upset the Lilliputian man of war.

" The diraster," say the details of the day," happened in a depth of w a te r which , precluded all hopes of we i g hi ng the pondero.to wreck,'• and only one of the guns was saved t The Comm.,- dore's loss was, however, soon retrieved by the generosity of his Majesty, who immediately 'ordered another cutter to be built for him at the Naval Arsenal, l,eith, only five feet eleven inches in length, which the Commodore rigged with his own hands.— " He has since performed," says an Irish Paper, " such naval exploits as neither the far-famed. Drake, nor the illustrious Nei. son, could hale imitated or even imagined." He arrived here a few days since front Liverpool, and has exhibited hi:nautical skill in various parts of the harbour, which has gai n ed hi m some retkaaailal marks of approbation, and will be further called into action at the ensuing regatta, when we understand the Commodore intends to start for the prize in his " unrivalled set-out."

Good night bUt to his surprise: he received nut the'customary answer. - On his going up to the waggon, he discovered that there wax no driver or other persim attending it, although the horses were go.. ing on at their usual pace. The patrol s t opped .the horses, wad in a few minutes he heard a foot.step coming up at a 'quick pace towards him :in an instant or two afterwards a dog ran - up to OH waggon, and after .running round it and the patrol (who stood at the horses heads) as-if to see that. All was safe, he ran back to 'his master and fondly sprung on hint in congratulation that the waggon was safe. When the driver came up, it appeared.that he had been violently attacked by a footpad, who succeeded in knocking him down, when a desperate struggle ensued en the ground, hut the faithful dog so effectually assisted his master, that he got up little injured besides the scratch of a sharp instru. ment upon his arm. On the deg being examined, a deep wound front the weapon in the hand of the robber was found in his shoulder, and which he nu doubt receival in bravely defending hie Master, Little doubt remains that the waggoner would have been robbed and murdered but for his faithful companion, who is doing well from the effects of his wound, and is supposed to have left some marks of his teeth in the body of the robber,— The patrol proceeded after the footpad, and from the activity of the police it is to be hoped that the villain will be brought to Justice. edf l r i o ` i l n iu h r i s s d h a o y ril n when eth A e i h r o . u ti f e j rn2 nn i7 . l l3 S e c x i i i e o y i , e ‘ y vit tl w it m t he had been taking a ride, he found the inside facing of the lappet of his coat and the pocket had been cut, and a parcel of inconsiderable value extracted, together with a bunch of keys.
