the part of Spain, for the purpose of form ing a . Treaty beneficial, to the interests of the two nations. The Convention continued, during five separate sessions. From the intimate connection that exists between the two nations in laws, language, and religion, it appears that a treaty of union and fraternity has been ar ranged, and this treaty has been founded on re ciprocal acknowledgment of the Constitutional Ring of Spain, and the sovereignty of the Mexi can nation. We are favoured with a perusal of a letter received in this city from Buenos•Ayres, which furnishes information from Chili to the 4th May, and from Lima to the 99th April. At the latter place the most active preparations for resisting the Spaniards were continued : 2,000 of the Colombian troops had arrived, 2,500 more had been on their way 20 days, and the last division of 1,500, with Gen. Bolivar, sailed twelve days before from Guayaquil.. ( From a New-York Paper of the 21st of Aug. 1823. ) , r Rom I.d „ oLomuLt.—Letters from Carracas to the 4 2d are received.—Our Minister, Mr. Ander son, was on the eve of departing from that place for Bogota, the capital of Colombia.— The letters communicate the interesting intelli gence that Mr. Todgour, Charge des Affaires at Bogota, has prevailed on the Government to modify the revenue Court, by abolishing the extra five per cent. hitherto paid on imports from the United States, more than was paid on imports from Europe. The same letters assert that the Colombian Government has ratified the Loan contracted in England by Mr. Zea. 'We yesterday received a series of Gibraltar Papers to the 29t1i ult., from which we extract the following : • ( From the Chipracle of the 20th.) " People arrived this morning from Algesiras state, that general Lauriston's division had retired from Twit& with trifling loss. " In letters from Malaga of the 21st inst. it is stated, that Riego had with him in that city 3,000 infantry and 000 horse.— General Zayas, as well as several other Officers and Priests, had been imprisoned by Riego, and sent on board a vessel in the harbour. " ALEXANDRIA, JULY 9.—The Pacha of Alexandria is forming a regular army of Egyptians and Africans." ( From the Paper of the 24th.) " A vessel arrived at Trieste from Constantinople, which place she left on the 2d instant, brings intelligence that fresh -hostilities had taken place between the Persians and the Porte." On Wednesday night, Mr. lIUNTE►t, the King's Messenger, left town with dispatches for Lord STRANGFORD at Constantinople. The Priuce de Pottux.tc (the French Am bassador) transacted business with Mr. Secretary CANNING yesterday, at the Foreign Office, Down ing -street. The report of the death of Rear-Admiral II AM E.. LIN is unfounded. Ile arrived at Brest in the 13retonne on, the 13th inst. A private letter from a French Officer at Me tall), in Catalonia, dated the 11th, states, that during the night of the 9th Sept. a swell having obliged the French ships of war to stand off to sea, the enemy, to the number of 11 or 12 hun dred men, came out from Barcelona in fishing-boats, and made a descent on the point called Castillo de Mongat, between Mittaro and Barcelona. These troops, commanded by the Constitutional ex-Governor of Cordova, were composed of 900 Spaniard and SOO French and Piedmontese exiles. immediately, on their landing being known, the tocsin was sounded in all the villages, the peasants armed, and at Mataro, which contains considerable magazines, the wisest means were taken to defend the town in case of an attack ; but the enemy's corps, in. formed of our good arrangement, and finding themselves pressed in their rear, t hrew themselves into the mountains and on the road to Bostalrich. If they make a movement to throw themselves into that place, they will find there, ready to elpose their designs, 1,400 or 1,500 French and Spaniards.— They are pursued and closely pressed by the General of Brigade Baron Nicholas, having under his orders the '23d horse thasseurs, and two battalions of light infantry. While these things were pesing, the garrison of Barcelona, wishing to oc euPy the blockading corps, and to make a diversion, effected, on different points, sorties which were without success. The bare were every where beaten. Our h owitzers ilikVe set fire to Barcelona three times anti the troops of the King have acquired new rights to the admiration of the French and foreigners. A. sudden depression of more than one per cent. took place in the prices of French stock at Paris on Tuesday, which has given rise to various re- - ports relative to the situation of the. French army in Spain, of a very unfavourable nature. There cannot be a stronger proof of the general ab horrence excited every where by the .invasion of that country, than the readiness with which such rumours are believed. The greater part of those in circulation yesterday are equally destitute of truth and probability. That which appears best entitled to attention, though it can not be given as certain, is an account of the rup ture of the negociations before Cadiz, which reach ed Paris on Tuesday afternoon, and which induced some very large sales of stock by eminent capi talists there. It is said, indeed, that the Governor of Cadiz, never entertained any serious disposition to negociate, but that he had sent the flag of trpce to the French head-quarters, and allowed the Duke de Guiche an interview with the King, solely with the view of gaining time, partly to render more complete the defences of the city, but principally that he must remove to a distant part of Cadiz a large magazine of gun powder, - which, since the French had taken the Trocadero, was exposed to the shot fired from its batteries ; such was the account received in Paris on Tuesday. Whether true or otherwise, it operated very forcibly on the public mind, which having been led by the" previous accounts to. expect a termination through negociations, fell into the contrary extreme of distrust as soon as it came to be believed that the risk of an attack on Cadiz were after all to be e ncountered.—(Times.) The Prefect of the Department of the Upper Rhine being alarmed by the.report that prohibit ed arms were forged in the manufactories of M. V. d'Attorisox and M. IiCeCIILIN, ordered the Civil Power to proceed, with the assistance of an armed force, in order to search the sus pected premises, when, .after the most minute search, two cast iron rejoicing patoreroes were found. INTERESTING TO MERCHANTS. STOCKHOLM, AUG. 22.—One of our Journals contains the following article :—The opinion of the Committee of Concession ou the Custom house Duties was discussed in the Chamber of Peers on the 14th (August), but they came to no conclusion which contained a tariff of duties. The first article, in the opinion, was particularly the subject of debates, in which several speakers took part. It contained the proposition for abo lishing the principle actually in operation rela tive, to the importation of goods, and for admit ting an opposite system. This principle is, that the importation of all foreign goods is prohibit ed, with the exception of those which are permit ted by particular regulations." The system pro posed by the Committee is, that the importation of all foreign goods is permitted, on payment of cer tain duties, with the exception of those which his Majesty shall think fit to prohibit by special de crees. The first of these principles, which had been adopted to protect and encourage industry in the interior of the kingdom, is rejected by the Committee, for the following reasons : every one has a natural right to purchase where and of whom he pleases common necessaries ; smug gling, which destroys the morality of the nation, cannot be prevented. The Committee recommend, in consequence, an opposite system; smuggling cannot take place when importation is permitted on the payment of duties, and a high duty will be a sufficient and more efficacious means to pre vent smuggling in the nation, and it will tend to augment the revenues of the State. Finally, de ceiving the Customs, though it is 1 crime, is not sufficit nt to demoralize a nation. FONTHILL ABBEY, SEPT. 17.

The life of Bishop Waineflete above-mentioned, is the one which has the notes and references in the writing of Mr. Beck ford, which were published. In a work entitled the Two last Pleadings of Marcus Tul lius Cicero against Caius Verres, with remarks on the state of modern Sicily, there are two specimens of the hand-writing of Mr. Beckford, one of them is a reference to a passage contain. ing some account of the state of Modern Architecture in Sicily, a subject in which, by his taste, acquirements, and peculiar studies, that Gentleman was particularly interested. The re ference is as follows:- " The tine granite columns taken from the theatre at Cata nia are now condemned to support broken entablatures, and every style of deformity which 13oromini anti his stye could de vise in the front of the Cathedral." The other note of Mr. Beckford, which may spew the minute attention which lie paid to what he read, stands as follows " Allusion to lowsing." The passage with which it is connected is one which serves to prove the deplorable condition to which a vicious govern ment anti a degrading superstition have reduced the descend. ants of a people who once fixed the principles of taste, and en larged the limits of civilized empire. " The English peasant or mechanic who inhabits a country not so conducive to cheerfulness as Sicily, appears in general animated, and enjoys his hours of relaxation on a Sunday, but the Sicilian, in his numerous holidays after the pageantry of his religion is over, stands gaping in the streets, or employs himself in a disgusting operation, and appears not even ca pable of obtaining that negative state of happiness known to the Turk." Mr. Beckford has shewn that he read sotne novels with close attention, by a few references which he has made in the blank leaves of the novel of Clarissa Harlowe. One of theni alludes to " sister Bella's plump, high-fed face," and another has a meaning bordering on indecency, which, therefore, we shall not transcribe. Ile quotes the passage in which Clarissa is made to say, "my mind is, that you, Sir, should leave me out of hand," and justly adds, " a vulgarism." The sale closed at half-past four o'clock to-day, the books will continue to be sold during the three ensuing days, which will close the first part of the catalogue; and then the disposal of some of the splendid articles of furniture will commence. One beneficial effect has already resulted from the late fine weather, a reduction in the price of bread of a penny in the two pounds loaf ; with the pleasing assurance, on the part of the bakers, that a further reduction will take place in a few days. „.... -) ..;• , Z1,:.... z ,..?.

Dr. Midge, Minister of Limehouse, and Lecturer of St. Sepulchre, preached in the church of Melcombe-Regis, before the Lord Bishop of London, and a very • numerous congrega tion. The subject of his discourse was the text from the 6th chapter of St. Matthew's Gospel, and the 10th verse,—" Thy will be done on Earth, as it is in Heaven." The worthy Divine treated this important topic in a style of argument and elocu don which convinced every understanding, and edified every heart. In the evening the same Learned Minister, officiating for our highly popular Lecturer, both read the prayers and preached the sermon. The general 'satisfaction which he had given in the morning, and the excellence of his oratorical powers, attracted an immense congregation, so that every part of the Church was crowded to excess. Upon the most moderate calculation it is supposed that not less than 1,800 persons were present, The text was taken from the sth chapter of the Qd Book of Kings, and the 111th verse,—" In this the Lord pardon thy servant," &c. The distinguished character of this zealous Divine consists in the peculiar talent of a plain, direct, ani mated, and most forcible, address, which lays open the secret recesses of the human heart, and causes the heinousness of sin to flash before the guilty conscience. The !lemon evidently made a powerful, and it is to be hoped, a lasting impression upon the hearers ; for, during the whole of its delivery, (which occupied upwards of an hour) there was a profound stillness throughout the church, and the eyes and minds of all appeared to be attentively fixed upon the preacher.—We feel much plea sure in having heard that the eminet services of the Right lion. 'l'. Wallace, one of our worthy Member, as Vice. 'resident of the Board of Trade, have attracted the attention of his Majesty, as well as the commercial community, and that the Mastership of the Mint has been conferred upon him in the most honourable and flattering manner, in the place of Lord Maryborough, who is appointed to the -buck-hounds. The services of such men to their country entitle them with the 1 universal consent to its best rewards. FRANKFORT, SE PT. 11.—Ilet Royal Highness the Princess Charlotte of Wurtemburg, bride of the Grand l)uke Michael, has set out from Stutgardt for St. Peterburgh. She will arrive about-the end of this month on the Russian frontier, where she will be received by her future Consort and the persons who are to compose her household. The marriage will not take place till six months after her arrival at St. l'etcrsburgh. On Monday next (Sunday being St. 3latthew's-day), ac. cording to annual custom, the LouD IVIAYOR, Aldermen, Sheriffs, and Governors of the several Royal Hospitals, will attend divine service at Christ's Church. After a sermon by the Key. Win. Granger Cautley, M.A., they will repair to the Great Hall in Christ's Hospital, where two orations will be delivered—in Latin, by Arthur Willis ;in English, by Charles Cotton, the two senior scholars of the Grammar School. Slit ROBERT WILSON.---We hear that Sir R. WiLsoN has left Gibraltar for Cadiz. His three daughters are in Paris. The eldest son is gone to join ,the I.llh Light Dragoons in India ; the next (who was on board the Bellerophon, as a midshipman, when BUONAPARTE was conveyed to St. Helena), is now a Lieutenant on a cruize ; the third has joined'the flag-ship of Lord Coen- RANE j and the fourth, we believe, is at school at home. Mr. BROWNE, an actor of considerable reputa tion at Liverpool, which has long been a liberal encourager of theatrical merit, is to be added to the Drury-Lane Company. His forte is Fops, and the dashing parts of Comedy in general. Miss PATON and her sister have been perform ing with success, during last week, in the Con certs at Exeter. Mrs. GARRICK, the Lady at present engaged at the Haymarket Theatre, is one of the near est surviving relatives, and residuary legatees of DAVID GARRICK. This lady has a son who, in hiS features, (especially the upper part of his face), much resembl es the great " practical illustrator" of SHAKSPEARE.— There are several masks of GARRICK extant; one of the best is in the Picture Gallery of MATHEWS, the actor, and the resemblance be t ween this mask and the face of young GARRICK is most striking. The king's Printers in Scotland have applied to the Court of Session for ao interdict against the members of Bible Societies importing Bibles into Scotland, and have issued summonses accord ingly to all the individual members. The action is entitled, " Bill of Suspension and Interdict— his Majesty's Printers against the Most Noble the Marquis of Huntly and others." His Lord ship has not been singled out on this occasion for the excess of his zeal in the cause, but the socie ties are charged alphabetically, and the Aberdeen Auxiliary comes first, of which the Nobl e Mar quis is President.—(G/aigoze Herald). GREEK GENEttosTv.--F"r Turkish women had been made prisoners at Tripolitza, and were sent to Hydra to be sold. But they had scarcely arrived, when Condouriote had the noble gene rosity to purchase them for the purpose of .set ting them free, and restoring them ,to their fa milies at Constantinople. He sent them to the Chief of the Island of Syra, recommending them to his care in the strongest terms, and begging him to treat them well. These women have ar rived here on board of the French vessel Silene, and they praise very highly the -conduct of the Hydriots and Syriots, who paid them all kinds of attention. POETRY. ADDRESS TO A STEAM VESSEL. BY MISS JOANNA BAILLIE. Freighted with passengers of every sort, A. motley throng, thou leavist the busy port ; Thy long and ample deck, where scatter'd lie Baskets, and cloaks, and shawls of scarlet dye, Where dogs and children through the crowd are straying, And, on his bench apart, the fiddler playing, While matron dames to tressel'd seats repair,— Seems, on the gleamy waves, a floating fair. • Its dark form on the sky's pale azure cast, Towers from this clust'ring group thy pillar'd mast ; The dense smoke issuing from its narrow vent Is to the air in curly volumes sent, Which, coiling and uncoiling on the wind, Trails like a writhing serpent far behind. Beneath, as each merg'd wheel its motion plies, On either side the white—churn'd waters rise, And, newly parted from the noisy fray, Track with light ridgy. foam thy recent way, Then far diverged, in many a welted line Of lustre, on the distant surface shine. Thou hold'st thy course in independent pride ; No leave ask'st thou of either wind or tide, To whate'er point the breeze, inconstant; veer, Still dotl► thy careless helmsman onward steer ;. As if the stroke of some magician's wand Had lent thee power the ocean to command. What is this power which thus within thee lurks, And, all unseen, like a mask'd giant works ? Ev'n that which gentle dames, at morning's tea, From silver urn ascending, daily see With tressy wreathings playing in the air, Like the loOs'd ringlets of a lady's hair; Or rising from the enarnell'd cup beneath, With the soft fragrance of an infant's breath ; That which within the peasant's humble cot Comes from th' uncovcr'd mouth of sav'ry pot, As his kind mate prepares his noon-day fare, Which cur, and cat, and rosy urchin share : That which, all silver'd with the moon's pale beam, Precedes the mighty Geyser's up-cast stream, What time, with bellowing din exploded forth, It decks the midnight of the frozen north, 'Whilst travellers from their skin-spread couches rise To gaze upon the sight with wond'ring eyes. Yet, ne'erthelcss, whntc'er we owe to thee, Rover at will on river, lake, and sea, As profit's bait or pleasure's lure engage, Thou offspring of that philosophic sage, Watt, who in heraldry of science ranks, With those to whom men owe high meed of thanks, And shall not be forgotten, ev'n when Fame Graves on her annals Davy's splendid name ! Dearer to fancy, to the eye more fair Arc the light skiffs, that to the breezy air, Unfurl their swelling sails of snowy hue Upon the moving lap of ocean blue : As the proud swan on summer lake displays, With plumage bright'ning in the morning rays, Her fair pavilion of erected wings,— They change, and veer, and turn like living things. So fairly rigg'd, with shrouding, sails, and mast, To brave with manly skill the wintry blast Of every clime,—in vessels rigg'd like these Did great Columbus cross the western seas, And to the stinted thoughts of man revealed What yet the course of ages had conceard. In such as these, on high adventure bent, Round the vast world Magellan's comrades went. To such as these are hardy seamen found As with the ties of kindred feeling bound, Boasting, as cans of cheering grog they sip, The varied fortunes of " our gallant, ship." The offspring these of bold sagacious man Ere yet the reign of letter'd lore began. In very truth, compar'd to these thou art A daily lab'rer, a mechanic swart, In working weeds array'd of homely gray, Oppos'd to gentle nymph or lady gay, To whose free robes the graceful right is giv'n To play and daily with the winds of heaven. Beholding thee, the great of other days, And modern men, with all their sicced ways, Across my mind with hasty transit gleam, Like fleeting shadows of a fev'rish dream : Fitful I gaze, with adverse humours teased, Half sad, half proud, half angry, and half pleased.
