IMPORTANT. \Ve tave the satisfaction to announce to the 'public, and particularly to that portion of the mercantile interest of this country which is more immediately engaged in the trade to South America, that Consuls have actually been ap. pointed to several of the South American States, on behalf of Great Britain. Our Readers are aware that in reply to an application on the part of a body of Merchants, for the appointment of British Agents in those States, Mr. PLANTA, the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Af- fairs, stated that the establishment of Consuls in Them was then under the consideration of Go. vernment. We have now only to congratulate the Mercantile Interest on the adoption of a measure so beneficial to their interests, and to ex- press our hope that it is only preparatory to the full recognition of the independence of the South American Governments by Great Britain. IXPRESS FROM PARIS. We have received by express the Eloile of Monday night, and the Pilote of yesterday morning. Their contents are of great import ance. Even although all the accounts are French accounts, it is evident from them that the war is raging throughout Spain with increased fury, except at the French head-quarters, from which we still continue to hear only of prepa rations !—lt is now said that the Constitution alists within Cadiz have brought cannon into the streets of the city, to keep dawn any tumultuous movement on the part of the inhabitants, and that the Militia hav e disarmed two regiments of the line, whose fidelity was suspected. — Both of these statements are probably falsehoods ; hut even if they are true, they only prove that the Constitutionalists are the stronger party that they are determined,and above all that they are vigilant,—on the exer tion of which qualities in fact depends their own triumph, and the discomfiture of the French !—But t his is not all :—the Port St. Mary intelligence states that it was reported in Cadiz that BALLASTEROS had gained a victory over the French, —a report which would scarcely even have been noticed by the French, unless there had been something amiss with the corps un der General MOLITOR. In fact, the Madrid Royalist accounts, in the Restaurador, announce that BALLASTEROS has been taken prisoner by Rita°, who, after having been described as a fugitive from Malaga, it appears marched against BALLASTEROS, at the head of a l ar ge force. The w hole of these ac counts are involved in studied an d unintelligible m ystery ; and although I tsEGO is again represen ted as a fugitive, it is our persuasion that BALLAATEROS'S troops, whatever may have been the fate of their former Com mander, are again in the field in defen ot time for ce of the liberties of their country. We have n further observations, but subjoin the important intelligence now before us. ( From the Etoil e o f Monday night.) GRAND HEAD QUARTERS. PORT ST. MARY, SEPT. 13. The Major-General has arrived, preceded by the Duke of Angouleme. arations are pursued with vigour, at The prep and Chiclana . Rota, Port St. Ma r y , It is positive they have spread reports at Cadiz that Ballasteros had defeated the French; and i that all that was said about leis capitulating was false. They also, report that the Empeci nado had published a proclamation, stating that the Duke of Angouleme had caused himself to pe proclaimed King of Spain. The Militia have disarmed two Regiments of the Line, in %%horn they could not place confi- Bence. Cannon have been , placed in the streets against the inhabitants, as we wrote you yester day ; and they were obliged to cause the King to appear, to calm the people. MADRID, SEPT. following is from Cabra, in the Kingdom of G ranada, of the 11th of September : Since the 24th of August the troops under . Bal lasteros are cantoned here, and at Montilla, Lu cena, and Priego.—Riego, hoping to gain them over to the revolutionary cause, after having abandoned Malaga to the French, marched on the cantonments with from three to four thousand infantry, and seven to eight hundred horse. — Yesterday, about nine o'clock in the morning, he appeared at Priego, in front of Ballasteros, who was in a defensive position on the road to Granada, while the division of General Ignace Balanyat occupied the right of • Calvaire Priego. Immediately the fire of the tiraelleurs commenced, and Riego demanded a suspension of arms, and parley. Ballasteros accepted an interview, and it was agreed that both parties should keep their po tions. All appeared as arranged, when the escort of Riego fell, unperceived, on that of Ballasteros, and disarmed them, and held the General as prisoner in the house in which he was at Priego with Riego.—General Balanzat, informed of the treason, harangued his troops, and imme diately made dispositions to act against Riego ; and the corps which are here are marching on the same point. We expect to hear of a battle. P. S. At the critical moment, the French, com manded by General Bonnemain, appeared and attacked the corps of Riego, putting them com pletely to the rout, and the Revolutionary Chief ' was pursued from the field.—(El Rertaurador.) Quiroga, who landed at Gibraltar, it is said has succeeded in getting into Cadiz. The Empecinado, whose band has been re duced to 300 men, dared to summon Plasceutia, on the 10th, and demanded a contribution of 160,000 reaux, threatening, if refused, that he would reduce the town to ashes.—Letters from Madrid, of the 19th Sept. announce, that Riego, who wished to save himself, with three officers, after the destruction of his troops, has been arrested by the peasants of Carolina. The Captain-General of Old Castile has or dered several squadrons to march on Bejar and Plascencia. We learn, at the same time, that the Count Laroche Jacquelin, with his whole bri gade, has marched on Truxillo.--(Restaurador.) A telegraphic dispatch announces the arrival at Rome of the Cardinal do Clermont Tonnere, on the 10th inst. [The Moniteur of the 22a September contains a long bulletin, signed " Guillemot," giving an account from Molitor ) Commander•in-Chief of the 2d Corps, of the affair of Malaga, and of the different dispositions to destroy the enemy, while General Loverdo march ed on Riego. Here follow the Articles of the Capitulation of Pampeluna, 13 in number.] PARI6, SEPT. appears that an inter- view is to take place between the Emperor Alexander and the Emperor of Austria. We think we can affirm that in this meeting there will be nothing relating to the affairs of . Spain. General Bourck is expected at Madrid. It is said he will replace Reggio.—The Marquis de Talarau has set off for Port St. Mary. The accounts received from Baron De Retours, Rear• Admiral before Cadiz, state, that during the month of August the French Beet stationed at the entrance of Santi Petri, under the orders of Lieutenant Trotel, has taken, sunk, and burnt, 56 vessels of different sizes, most of them laden with corn, destined for Cadiz. [Prom the Pilate of yesterday.] Two different reports were spread on 'Change : one affirmed that Riego had got into Cadiz,—the other, on the contrary, alleging, that that General was made prisoner in the mountains of Ronda. But the first report seems to be more credible, because it agrees with what has been said in the Foreign Joarnals. The Rented have expe rienced a decline, owing, perhaps, to the opinion that we will not treat with the Cortes. - - M. who speculated extensively in the Indigo and on 'Change, has blown out his brains this morning. REPORT OF LIEUT.-GENERAL . ROTTENDOURG TO THE MINISTER OF ♦i'AR• (EXTRACT.) PERPIGNAN, SEPT. 17.—8 y my last report I informed your Excellency of the dispositions I had made to succour the troops of the ninth division of the fourth corps. Having ascertained that file enemy, vho made a' feint to march on Urgel had gone for Fi gueras, I immediately gave orders to General Arnauld to join General Dumas, to reinforce the blockade of Figueras, if he should find that the enemy had escaped our troops by forced marches. After a sharp action, on the 15th, at Llardo, which terminated on the 16th at Liars, all the enemy's column of near 2,000 men, which had disembarked in the night of the oth and 10th, between Mason anti Mongate, coming from Barcelona, surrendered to General Dumas. This brilliant alrair does honour to Gen; Dumas, whose troops were inferior in number to the enemy. We have inserted in our preceding columns extracts from the Paris Papers of Saturday and Sunday. The Spanish official details of various actions in Catalonia will be read with interest. They very satisfactorily illustrate the system of suppression, misrepresentation, and falsehood, on which the French Bulletins are written. CITY, Twelve o'clock.---Consols Opened this morning at 831 Money, and 83 to 4 for the Account, with a good deal of business doing.— The expresses from Paris bring the French Rentes at 90f. 30c. and Spanish 421. COMMERCIAL:—In our preceding columns we have inserted a very triumphant part of the Re ply to the Observations of Mr. MARItYAT on the subject of the West India Docks, by our well-infotmed and accurate Correspondent. The information contained in the article referred to, and particularly in the Table' of Rates, is so valuable to the Commercial World, that we hope our Brother Journalists, both in London and in the country, will aid in giving it the most extensive publicity, We also beg leave to refer our Readers to an able communication, in another part of this day's Paper, on the interesting ques tion of the Navigation Laws. Mr. ROTHSCHILD, we understand, is expected in town this evening, from Paris. His brother, we are happy to add, is in a fair way of recovery. The Duke of YORK arrived in .town on Mon day from Sudburne, the seat of the Marquis of HERTFORD, where his Royal Highness has been on a shooting party for some days.--Yesterday his Royal Highness the COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF held a Levee, at his Office in the Horse Guards, which was attended by between 30 and 40 Mili tary Affairs. A letter, written by a person of great respect• ability at Munich, dated the 12th instant, says— " Every thing tends to confirm the report that his Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Prussia will shortly be united in marriage with the Prin cess. Elizabeth of Bavaria. The difficulty which at first was In the way has been surmounted. Her Royal Highness will retain her religion." Since the introduction of the Liberty of the Press in Brazil, twelve newspapers appear daily in the town of Rio de Janeiro. It is stated in the Berlin Gazette of the 6th .instant, that Madame de l'EsTsce, , the chief governess of the Palace, had been created a Member of the Order of Louisa : the same dignity had been conferred on five other Ladies. On the 25th ult. the body of Mr.GEUKEN, the Danish Consul at St. Petersburgh, was found , in the waters of the Neva. He had been missing since the 17th. Nothing is known with preci sion as to the cause of the fatal accident. The funeral ceremony, which was very respectable, took place on Sunday, the 31st. We hear that Mr. GOODENOUGH has sold his beautiful Villa at Shooters Hill, to Mr. STIIEA CHEY, (the son of Sir HENRY STREACHEY, who was Secretary to-the Treasury under the Mar quis of ROCKIGUAM in the year 1782,) who will take immediate possession. STAFFORD PEERAGE.---A most important event has lately taken place, which is likely very speedily to affect the clsini made by Sir GEonox JERNIWORAM, Burt. to the ancient Barony of STavronD, in the discovery of most va. luable documents relative to the descent, both lineal and collateral, of a male .heir to this ancient Peerage, which he has for same time been most assiduou s ly collecti ng. The Present claimant, Banari.ry ihie IiANDHAM STAFFO RD , Esq., of Maine, County of Loath , I reland, has s ucceeded in obtaining these, and many other papers of importance, collected by his late father, Colonel Enwsannub mitting Sstrrit fo r the roan, of Maine, which he purposes s consideration of the House of peers, having already obtained high legal sanction for this step.:.--Soch a competitor deriving from the male line, and claiming under the Act of Restitution of the 'Barony, in the first of Nowann VI., whereby the sue, cession was settled on the heir inch.', must endan g e r th e preten sions of Sir GEORGE 3sagil3 iiOA3l, or of any who derite through females. FAUX PAS IN HIGH Lira.—lt was generally circulated in town yesterday, that a dashing individual, nearly allied to a certain Noble Lord, has eloped with the beautiful wife of a now tlisi oniolate husband. It is said they sailed for England this week. The entire particulars of this event *ill, it is expected, shortly becalm moregenerally known.—(Daiblin Evening Pot.) We can state, on what we have every reason to consider good authority, that the Earl of Elinor., is likely to be elected Representative Peer in the room of the late Lord NAPIER.--(Stirling journal.) - RICHARDSON, GOOPLUCKI and Co. respectfully remind their friends of the near approach of the Drawing, which takes place tn-morrow, and re commend their taking advantage of the present very low prices, which are less than they have been for thirty years.

Yesterday the Roman Catholic Chapel, Moorfields, presented a scene of unusual interest. It was annotiticed that a Solemn Dirge and Pontifical High Mais would be performed for the lamented Pius the Seventh. On this occasion the whole of that part of the Chapel appropriated for the performance of Divine Worship was hung with black cloth, and in the eentro of the Chal was erected a Cenotaph, hung with the same, under which was supposed to lie the body of the deceased, covered with a velvet pall, on which lay emblazoned his armorial hear trigs, the keys of St. Peter, and a triple crown. The effect was striking and appropriate. The choir was filled with Catholic Clergy, many of them of eminent rank in that Com munion and at an early hour great numbers of the congre gation arrived.—Their admission was regulated by tickets. Drs. POYNTEU. and Bansisoar were the officiating Prelates. The Service for the Dead was performed with extraordinary effect. The Choir was numerous, and the chautiting marked by powerful harmony and pathos. This touching effort of sacred song was followed by a solemn High Mass, offbred up as an intercession at the 'Throne of Mercy for the eternal happiness of the deceased POPE. The Requiem Eternam, eternal rest and happiness, suppli cated for the Pontiff, seemed to find its echo in the hearts of all present who were Members of the Church of which he was the earthly Head I and even those of the spectators who were as sembled merely from motives of curiosity, and agreed not in the doctrines on which much of the ceremony was founded, seemed yet to be at the moment strongly impressed by its solemnity. When the Mass had concluded, Dr. Poynter delivered a fit, neral oration from the steps of the High Altar. He spoke in the language of cordial commendation of the private and - public virtues of the late Pope—eulogised his piety and gentleness, and dwelt with respectful admiration on his calm yet firm op position to the dictates of a conqueror by whom he was held in captivity. His moderation and mildness on his restoration formed also a subject of praise. as well as his tolerant dispasi tion anti hatred oall persecution for sincere religious opinions. A tribute of gratitude was also paid by the Rev. Speaker to the exertions of Louis XVIII. in support of the Roman Catholic Church. After the Oration the ceremony of absolution was performed around die Cenotaph, and was not concluded until atter three o'clock in the afternoon. A respectable body of Protestants were present at the core. mony. Amongst the distinguished foreigners were The Prince Polignac, the French Ambassador, the Sardinian Ambassador, Count d'Aglie, the Bavarian A mbassatior, Baron de Cetto, Baroness Wenner and her daughter, AltCliEttlf.—The fourth meeting of the Society of Archers took place at Byckley Lodge, in Needwood Forest, the residence of G. Sneyd, Esq. on Thursday last. The com pany began to assemble soon after two o'clock, when the band of the Suiffonishire Militia struck up for the archers to re. pair to their targets, three of which were fixed on the lawn in front of the mansion. Beautiful and gratifying was it to be. hold the fair damsels and the youths, all attircd in apprpriate cos. tume, trip up with grace anti elegance to the destined spot, upon which the interest of the day so much depended. Nothing was left undone by the worthy host 4nd hostess to make this one of the most truly English scenes that could be witnessed. The prizes were well contested by a numerous company, and were at.• length adjudged to Miss Sneyd, the daughter of the owner of the mansion, and Miss Charlotte Sneyd, of Keel, whose shooting nothing could possibly surpass. At the moment her bow was elevated all hearts panted, and a death-like silence prevailed, when no sooner did the arrow fly from the bow than it struck the centre Of the target, the band immediately struck up....“ See the Conquering Hero," whilst a shout burst from the populace. 'Elie fair victor was borne away by the young archers, decorated with a crown of roses. After the shooting, the company sat down to an elegant entertain ment, and the treat concluded with a ball, which lasted until morning's dawn. The.following anecdote would make it appear that SWIFT was indebted to the ancients for a very good joke :—A. Greek Poet had presented Alsourrus with many little compliments, in hope. of some trifling remuneration. The Emperor, who found them worth nothing, took no notice of the poor man, but as he persisted in offering him his complimentary verses, composed himself an epi gram in praise of the Poet ; and when he next waited on him with his customary panegyric, pre sented his own to him with amazing gravity. The man read it with apparent satisfaction ; then put ting his hand Into his pocket, he deliberately drew out two farthings, and gave them to the Emperor, saying, s xara rr i v rexipi l w (rEi32.5 - E ' et rAssoz Eixoy,w)alova as sat E3aev. 44 This is not equal to the demands of your situation, Sire ; but if I had more I would give it." Augustus could not resist this; he burst into it •fit of laughter, and, as Macrobius says, made the Poet a hand some present. A MtsEn.—Doncaster Races were last week attended by the Old Miser, as he is termed, Mr. J. Hurst, of Roliffe, near Wakefield. This eccentric old man, who ap pears to be about seventy-seven years of age, has not missed - the race for the Cup for several years. His car riage he made himself, which is composed of rude pieces of stick tied together, and without springs. It stands very high and is covered with a piece of patchworkquilt. - Mr: Hurst being determined not to pay duty fur any thing about his per son, lie keeps an otter instead of a dog about his house, and generally rides out upon a bull instead of a horse. He had on a dingy, felt, coarse white hat, and his trowsers were - made of the piece of a woman's gown. He had a sack full of 'apples, and to those persons whom he recognized as his itcpaintances he presented one. Mr. Hurst and his vehicle excited a great deal of curiosity ; and, upon the whole, it is one of the most eccentric _performances that can be imagined. A Mr. BANGLiss, of Birmingham, it is said, offers by means of a self-acting machine,' which he ,hns con structed, to convey the Royal Mail through the kingdom at the rate of 12 miles per hour. fitTrikfilm YAIATIKET.—The Comic Opera of The Lord of 17i e Manor was repeated last night, and the. Performers were evidently More its possession of their respective characters. TERRY and LisToN of course took'the lead. LEONI LEE, a modest and correct aetor, supported his part respectably, and sung with taste. The same may be said of DAVIS. Mrs, VESTRIS and Miss Love were also strong props to the piece. Roland for an Oliver followed ; and the excellent farce of Fisk Qui of ;Feller concluded the .performances; the whole, indeed i was highly applauded by a very numerous audience. ENGLISII OPERA HonsE.—Mr.Manty.ws took leave of the audience last night in three of his most popular characters, viz. Caleb Quotem, Monsieur .Morb leu, and Dick Cypher, The house was so crowded, and the applause so great, that it is probable that the Manager would have tempted •him to remain a few nights longer if he were not engaged to depart immediately for Ireland.

OLD BAlLAY—( + riiis Day): John Hawkins was put to the bar on titlitttlice-; ment charging Mill with stealing, on the lath of August lasts two sovereigns, the property . of his employer, Sarah Garret, newsvender. The prisoner, it appeared, had been intrusted by the prosecutrix and her partner, to discharge some debts at dif ferent Offices, and availed himself ef the opportttnity to purloiri the money. On going into the evidence, - however the indict.: molt was found to charge theproperty to belong to ill rs. Garret singly, and consequently the RECOILI*Ii directed an acquital. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT.—On the Sit ting of the Court yesterday morning, Mr. PoLtocic made a motion on behalf of Lord Clutha Spencer Churchill, who has been for some time a prisoner for debt, in the King's Bench Prison, and whose Petition to be discharg.: cd under the Insolvent Act, has been tot some Weeks filed iii Court, praying that the time for filing his Lordship's schedule might be enlarged. The motion was grounded on the Ali_ davit of Mr. Jobson, his Lordship's Attorney, which stated that since his Lordship's Petition was filed, the deponent had frequently attended him, for the purpose of preparing his sehe. dule, and had always found him so much indisposed. as to he wholly unable to give the necessary instructions, being gene rally confined to his bed by the severity of his indisposition.-- The motion was granted as a matter of course. HOP INTP.LIGENCg. SOUTHWARK, SEPT. 22.—Aire have not much demand (*of old Hops just now, and as there has not been above thirty Pockets of new ones here yet, but very little can be said about them; the samples are not good or line; the highest price given to-day we believe to be 121. 12s. It makes no difference just now whether they are Kent Or Sussex.—The Duty is at 20,00 W. By the assistance of several intelligent Correspondents, we are this day enabled to lay befhre our readers a correct state., went of the principal plantations in this and adjoining counties. The picking has now generally commenced in the neigh bourhood of Maidstone, and from every qt!arter we learn that the crops fall far short of what was anticipated, in some in stances even one.balf, and the greater part one-third. It is estimated that this and the surrounding parishes will not ave. rage 'more than 2 cwt. per acre, if' so .much. There are a few grounds here and at Loose, Binbury, &c. that may probably produce from two to three bags per acre, but opposed to these arc Many grounds having scarcely a hop, and in which not a bin will be put. Bets are freely ofliired against the Duty pay ing 20,0001. The parishes of East and West Peckham, Hadlow, Tun.; bridge, Capel, Toddy, Brenchley, Yalding, and Worthani, are not expected to average one cwt, per acre. The parishes of Cranbrook and Gouldhurst are better than most others within the Weald ,• the average crop' in these parishes, it is supposed, will be about 3 cwt, per aere.--- , There are a few gardens in Cranbrook that will produce from 5 to 10 cwt. per acre. but where the picking has com menced, they come generally far short of the calculation's, and the sample very inferior in quality, The parishes ad., joining will not much exceed one per 'cwt. per acre, particularly Biddenden, Benenden, Smarden, Frittenden, Ileadeorn, Sta- plehurst, and Maiden, in Which district they are miserably had. }'rittenden parish, it is thought, will not grow two ton, and last year they paid about 3001. for picking only. The growth of the parish of Tentertlen is calculated at front 3 to 4 cwt. per acre ; some of the grounds arc beautifhl, and are expected to yield from 5 to 6 bags per acre. The hops in the neighbourhood of Ilawkhurst come down very short of what was expected, add it is the general opinion that that parish and &Jelling will very little, if any, exceed 2 cwt. per ; the quality, too, is in general inferior to hist year's growth. The picking has commenced generally in the neighbourhood of Beckley, and the hops come down full one-third less than was expected. The duty for Sussex is not expected to exceed 7,0001. The parishes of Mayfield and Burwash will not aver age more thari a bag an acre. By accounts from Farnham we learn that tile hops are, if possible, worse than at Maidstone; their hest grounds arc not expected to produce mere than one cwt. per acre, and the ave rage not more than half a cwt. CaleTzentinv, SEPT. Vt.-4R the vicinity of- thie city, the hops will, most of them, he down by Saturday night ; at ' the distance of some mile, on the cold lands they are not so for.. ward by a week. Most of the planters find their crops from one-forth to one-third less than they expected. Fine samples will be very scarce, and the owners expect very high prices for them. We cannot quote any market price, as we have not heard of any being offered for sale ; but 151, was bid to-day for a lot and refused. CORN EXCHANGE, St 24. The artivals of grain this we©k are only moderate. The Wheat trade remains precisely in the same state as reported on Monday.—Dry parcels of Barley support the last quotations, but damp sorts are lower.—There is no alterations in the prick) of Oats to-day, but there Is very little business doing in Ow trade. DEATIi FROM INTOXICATION.-011 WedrleSthr forenoon a man was found lying in the Lawn. market insensibly drunk. Upon his being con veyed to the Police Office, hay began to exhibit dangerous symptoms, upon which the surgeon or the establishment was sent fur; but, notwith standing every care bestowed upon the man, he gradually grew worse, when it was recommended that he s h ou ld h e removed to the Infirmary.
