tack that had been made on the corps stationed to observe that place. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. We have received by Express, at a late bout, this forenoon, the Paris Papers of• Satur • . day, and the Pilate of yesterday. They are still silent as . to the actual execution of the threatened attacks on the Trocadero and on. the Isle of Leon ! This absence" of ,tees is, under existing circum stances, highly important, and justifies the hope that the: French have either shrunk fr'om or have been foiled the attempt. The suspicion which we have thrown out in the preced in,,,r article strengthened by these arrivals, which bring tnniours both from Madrid and Park of the removal of some of the French Generals corn winding near Cadiz. The following are extracts IProm the Pitote of Yesterday.] The French cavalry who were at Pardo have entered Madrid. They were immediately re ! . phced by a column of General Castel dos Rios, which incites a belief that there exists a Conven tion (secret) between that General and the Duke • tle Reggio. They even state that it will not be long before he enters Madrid himself. An Officer of the Etal-Major has arrived from Andalusia. It is said he brings a Proclamation from the King, which is going to be published. Marshal Lauriston set off yesterday from To , i i • loss, to establish his head-quarters before Pam peluna.—(Journal de Toulouse). The news from Madrid, which is to the 211, is void of intelligence. The Constitutionalists who left Estremadura Have advanced to Vil Imoj a do, and a strong French column has gone in search of them. The Re gency have given orders to Sampayo to March with a corps of Royalists to Andalusia. This General did not obey, before an animated eXpla . nation took place. There is some talk of an altercation of the same nature between the Duke of Reggio and Quesada, at the end of which the latter was arrested.—(Journal de Toulouse.) MADRID, Ave. 26.—A report prevails since l' yesterday, that some change has taken place .of the Generals commanding before Cadiz, as well as of the Commanders by sea. It is also stated, that the differences between the Duke d'Angou- Jeme and the Regency begin to disperse. It is 4 also said that the Constitutional troops are going to pay us a visit. NEWS FROM THE FRONTIERS OF SPAIN. PUTCLRDA, AUG. 9.7.—A letter from Targa, nutlet- date o' (idle 25th, statesohat the Conslitu tionalists, under Milano and Lloberi,have entirely retired towards Tarreggna. The sarne.letteradds, t hat the partizan Anton, who was in the environs of rolls, has a design to march on Seu. It ap pears that the Governor of Vigo is not dis posed to surrender. Yesterday, at two o'clock in the morning, the fire of the batteries recom menced, and a great number of bombs and balls fell in the town. The siege of Pampeluna is car ried on .o n an extensive scale. MADRID, AUGUST 31.—A11 the reports which were circulated that a revolutionary corps united in Estremadura are false, as only 300 men form this division, who are under the command of Lopez Banos, and were to take possession of Madrid : they were at Talavera de la Reyna, which they occupied only for a few hours. The Count Onale, a most distinguished revolutionist, has been arrested by order of the Regency : he was conducted under an escort to the frontiers of France. From the Journal de Paris of Saturday.) Although the official Bulletin from the Army does not announce the resignation of Rear Ad- miral Hamelin, it is nevertheless true ; and it was yesterday reported on 'Change that General Bourdesoult had ulbo resigned, and that he had been replaced by General Bourmont. CITY, Twelz.v o'Clock.--Consols opened at 8224, at which price they remain steady, with little business doing. The Expresses from Paris have brought the French .Rentes at 891. 10e. ex div., and 911. 60c. for Account—Spanish 421 — Scrip at Paris FOREIGN FUNDS.—Very little has been done this morning, except in Spanish Bonds and Co. lombia. A report prevailed that the French► hentes had come 2 per cent. lower, which the French Papers prove to have been incorrect. The Mike of GLOUCESTER, attended by Col. Jim Girls, arrived at his residence in Park-lane on Thursday evening, from Cheltenham; his Royal Highness paid a visit to the Duke of YORK yesterday. Mr. BLAQUIERE arrived at the Foreign Office on Saturday, charged with a communication from the Provisional Goverment of Greece to Mr. Se cretary CANNING.

MewNri Comedy of Who wants a Guinea Y was revived at this Theatre on Saturday last, before a very nu merous audience. It was highly indebted to the exertions of LI S TON, TERRY, TAYLEtrit, and VINING. The second piece was The Highland Reel, and LISTON, in Shelly, uas most divert ingly ludicrous. , FRAMICFORT, Atm. 23.—The news of the liberation of King Fertlinsnii, which was spread here by mercantile couriers Eroin Strasburg before the arrival of the French journals, hail 1 but a slight' influence on the price of funds, and hence no effect was produced by the non-confirmation of the intelligence. In the course of the week the several kinds of stock have expe rienced but slight variations, but it is evident they will all have a tendency to rise, notwithstanding the efforts of speculators to keep them down. We hear various statements of the profit which Rothschild is said to have made by the late French loan. Some make it amount to 12,000,000 francs. According to other accounts, which seem more worthy of credit, this house, preferring the certainty of a moderate gain to the of a greater, had disposed of almost the whole of the loan by subscriptions, and contented itself with a profit of fotir millions. On this, as on former similar occasions, this great' house has given to its numerous clerks a liberal - licknoivledgnient of their , zeal in its service. The sum divided among th'eni as a douceur is stated at 150,000 francs, of which those in the establishment in this city are said to have received 40,000: We may form some idea of the extensive and important business of this house, and of the attention with which it manages its affairs, when we learn that it has three light vessels that constantly sail backward and forward between Calais and Dover, in order to convey to the houses in Paris and London reci procally the earliest infbnnation of all important events in those t*o cities affecting the price 'of the funds. On this occasion people recollect how careful their house has always been in former times to obtain early information, and adduced, as an instance, that in 1815 it received information of the sue . cussful .issue of the battle of Waterloo (which it wits reported had been lost) six hours before the Government received the official dispatches from the field of ,battle. A tr ave ll er w h o has arrived here from England direct, states that when he landed at Calais there was a vessel ready to sail for England, the whole cargo of which consisted of gold, and was consigned to 31r. Nathan Von Rothschild in London. It is said that there is now very little gold in circulation in France, the coin having been exported both in this manner and by remittances to Spain. Though some circumstances have arisen to delay the final conclusion of a Concordat between the See of Rome and the Protestant. Governments of Germany, interested in the establishment of Catholic Archbishoprics of the Upper Rhine, those Governments have not lost sight of this object, and we are infbrmed, on good authority, that the conferences will soon be renewed here. Baron Von Schniits Grottenberg, Am. bassador from 'Wurtemberg at Munich, who was formerly sent to Home on this business, is now here to attend the conferences, and, it is said is only waiting for the special instructions of his Court to open them. His Royal Highness the Duke of CLARENCE inspected the Royal Marines, and Royal Marine Artillery last Saturday, on Chatham Lines. His Royal Highness is to re. main at 'Chatham four days, during which splendid dinners will be given by the Admiral, Sir B. If AILOWELL, Colonel Sir A. CfintsTlE, and the Officers of the Itoyal Marines and Royal Artillery. Letters of the 12th of Atigust received yester day from St. Lucar, mention that the Spanish Patriot, the -English vessel detained by the French squadron, for breach of blockade, has been released- by order of , the French Admiral. The captain visited the Admiral's ship to ex ' plain the state of the . case, and having proved by his papers that he left England before the noti tication of the.blockade had taken place, the order for the release of his vessel was issued int.' mAiately. He was treated with extraordinary politeneSs.by Admiral Hamelin, who insisted on his remaining to dine with him. Sir JOHN COXE HIPPISLEY is making experi ments at Cowes, with a large boat, which is moved at the rate of ten miles an hour, by means of 'six paddle-wheels,• worked by st. hand-winch for the purpose of proving hoW far this descrip tion of mechanical power is applicable to use in gaols ; in order to do away with the Tread-mill, against which the worthy Baronet has strong ob jections; as being injurious to health, particularly in the case of females. Captain KOTZEBUE has justified himself fully against the reproaches which had been made of not having pushed his discoveries far enough in the voyage he made in the Rurick. It is now proved that the weakness of his vessel and a se rious illness, checked his ardent and enlightened zeal. There is no longer any hope of finding a passage by Gulf Kotzebue, but in doubling Icy . Cape, or in pushing straight f orwar d t o wards th e Pote,(Journal des Debuts.) This morning a man, dressed very fashionably, called at the residence of Lady LINDSAY, in Leicester square, and inquired of the maid ser vant if her Ladyship was within. On being told' sh e was not, he said ha would go up stairs into her apartments, and leave a note for her. The servant incautiously permitted him so to do, and shortly after he went away. When her Ladyship came home, she found that her purse had been stolen from a small depositary, containing gold and bank-notes to the amount of 1401., by this supposed gentleman, a description of whoa has `been sent to all the police offices.

CAMPBELL. ll'rum the New Monthly Magazifiel All worldly shapes shall melt in gloom, The Sun himself must die, 'Before this mortal shall assume Its Immortality ! • I saw a vision in my sleep. 'That gave my spirit strength to sweep Adown the gulph of Time ! I sa w the last of human mould, That shall Creation's death behold, As Adam saw her priniell The Sun's eye - had a sickly glare, The Earth with age was wan, The skeletons of nations acre • Around that lonely man ! Some bad expir'd in fight,—the brands Still rusted in their bony hands; In plague and famine some ! Earth's Cities had no sound nor tread ; • And ships were drifting with the dead To shores where all was dumb ! Yet, prophet-like, that lone one stood, With dauntless words and high, That shoOk'the sere leaves from the wood, As if a storm pass'd by, Saying, we are twins in death, proud Sun, Thy tete is cold, thy race is run, "rig Mercy bids thee go. For thou ten thOusand thousand years Hast seen the tide of human tears, That shall no longer flow. What though beneath thee man put forth Ills pump, his pride, his skill And arts that made fire, flood, and earth, The vassals of his will ; Yet mourn I not thy parted sway, Thou dim discrowned king of day : • For all those trophied arts And triumphs that beneath thee sprang, lle.ird not a passion or a pang Entaird on human hearts. Go, let oblivion's curtain fall, • Upon the stage of men, Nor with thy rising beams recall Life's tragedy again. Its piteous pageants bring not bark, Not waken flesh, upon the rack Of pain anew to writhe; Stretch'd In disease's shapes abhor'd, Or Mown in battle by the sword, Like grass beneath tile, scythe. E'en I am weary in yon skies To watch thy fading fire; Tot of all senseless agonies, Behold not toe expire, • My lips that speak thy dirge of death— Their rounded gasp and gurgling breath To see thou'shalt not boast. The eclipse of Nwure spreads my pall,— . The majesty of Darkness shall Receive my parting ghost ! This spirit shall return to Him • That gave its heavenly spark ; Yet think not, Sun, it shall be dint When thou thyself art dark ! No ! it shall live again, and shine In bliss Unknown to beams of thine, • By Him recalrd to breath, Who captive led captivity, Who rolib'd the grave of Victory,— And took the sting froM Death ! Go, Sun, while Mercy holds me up On Nature's awful waste, To drink this last and hitter cup Of grief that man shall taste— On tell the night that hides thy fare, Thoui saw'st the last of Adam's race, On Earth's sepnchral, clod, The dark'ning universe defy, " To quench his•lnunortality; Or shake his trust in God !

Collier, width she parted from on the 9th off Tamatave, going to visit the Eschelles and other islands to the eastward, to Pre vent any revival in Slave-trading. The Menai arrived at the Cape on the 30th June ; found there Commodore Nourse, C.B. with the Andromache, Delight, Madagascar, and Dauntless— the two latter juatarrived from India. It was understood that the knowledge of the undecided state of affairs between France and Spain, prevented Commodore Nourse from proceeding with his squadron, for the' resent, to . the Mauritius Madagascar, &e. The dauntless sailed for 'England th e I t h July ; the Maciagaa car was to sail in about 10 days. The ship experienced such bad weather off the Cape as to req uire considerable repairs and fresh rigging. She was lately built at Bombay, and is deeply laden with timber. The weather at the Cape wax beautifully fine. The Menai sailed from the Cape July 9th; spoke between St. Helena and the Cttpe the Portuguese ship Vattco de Gama, from Macao to Lisbon—left St. Helena 23d July ; the Dauntless, the David Scott, and Almeira, preceeded the Menai's departure. .The whalers, Zephyr and George, were refitting; the brig Mar garetta was to sail 24th July, for England.

Upwards of three tons weight was loaded upon it. The robbers cut the tilt and unloaded the waggon, and then broke open the chest and succeeded in carryieg off the prize. Suspicion has fallen on two men, who, we understand, are in custody at Hustings. MERCANTILE' SKIPPING.
