will not be long before a real' negoeiation is en- tered on. The POPE died on the 9.Oth instant. The following are extracts from the Paris Papers received by our Express:— ( _Prom the Pilote of yesterday.) The course of Exchange and the Rentes have lowered about 30 cents ; but we do not know the cause. This slight fall may be attributed to the reports generally spread about, that a sortie has been made from Cadiz with the whole force of the garrison, and that there has been an affair in the neighbourhood of Madrid. _ _ [From the Eloile of Tuerday.] ARMY OF THE PYRENEES. REPORT FROM MARSHAL DUKE OF REGGIO TO TUE MINISTER OF WAR. MADRID, AUG. QO. " Lieutenant-General Count Bourck renders Ine an account, of the 13th, of his operations against Corunna, by a letter to the following purport : In the night of the 10th and 11th the gar rison of Corunna fired briskly on our troops, but fortunately did not do us much harm. Several houses were damaged near our head-quarters. The magazine of tobacco caught fire, but was soon extinguished. About eight o'clock in the morning a white flag was seen hoisted on the co vered way, and a flag of truce came out to us, offering peace, but at the same time exhibiting high pretensions ; but I must confess they have doue their duty, and submitted to Ferdinand the Vllth. They wished to put themselves under the protection of the Duke d'Angouleme ; but they would not hear a word about the Regency of Madrid. They wished to await in that situa tion the issue of the affair of Cadiz and the or ders of the King of Spain. The whole of the day, (yesterday), was taken up in parleying (pour porters). I sent them, as my Ultimatum, that I would enter Corunna either as friend or enemy. Sir o'Clock at night.—A person invested with power has this moment arrived, after having had a conference in the town ; and I am persuaded that the garrison of Corunna will put themselves under the orders of Gem Moritlo. Two Officers of the garrison have been sent to that General, to inform him of what has been agreed upon. Until their return there will be a suspension of hostili ties, which may last four or five days, owing to the distance of Count Carthagena.' " The Captain General of Old Castile (Charles O'Donnel) also sends accounts from Salamanca, of the 16th of this month, that two squadrons of the Regiment of the Queen arrived on the , 13th in the environs of Zamora ; that thoy had joined his troops, and had recognized the Regency.— This reinforcement of cavalry will be of great service in Estremndura. 'I (Signed) Marshal Duke du REGGIO." " P. S. I hope, at the moment I am writing to your Excellency, that the capitulation of Corunna is settled. I have given orders to Gen. Bourck, that the moment lie takes possession of Corunna, lie will leave a regiment there, and proceed with his main force to Astorga, and send the brigade of Larochejaquelin to Estremadura, where the Constitutionalists have shewn themselves in some force." PORT SAINTE MARIE, AUG. 17.---Ilis Royal Uighness has passed in review his troops, who are anxious to combat the enemy. Immense pre• parations are executing.

CITY, Twelve o'Clock.--The chief business doing this morning is in settling the account.— Consols opened at 822 and 82i, 83 for next account. The Expresses from Paris have brought thp French Rentes at 92. 85. ; Spanish 422 to 43 .The decline in the French Funds was owing to the circulation of unfavourable reports in Paris. A private letter states, that the garrison of Cadiz had made a sortie, in which the French lost 1,000 men. Other letters state, that it was expected that the affairs of - Spain would soon be settled. FOREIGN MARK:cr.—A great deal was doing this morning, particularly in Sranish Bonds ; one eminent Hebrew broker bought alone 50,000. EXTRACT or A LETTER FROM 31ADEIRA, DATED THE 16TII AUGUST. " The William Neilson, from Liverpool, arrived here on the oth instant, and I am sorry to inform you, there was a sailor on board who had the small-pox, of so malignant a kind, that she was ordered away immediately by the Governor here ; she was at anchor about eighteen hours, and the only things we got from_ her were the letters, and those with difficulty ; she was nearly full of cargo for this place. Ido not know what the Captain will do with it, but I suppose will sell the Whole in Demerara for account of those concerned, but should the goods be sent from Demerara for this, they will not he admitted. The people here are very much afraid of the small-pox ;it got introduced here in 1019, by a vessel from the Cape de Verds, after a very long quarantine, her cargo was only corn, and from 3to 4,000 persons died. The Board of Health was petitioned to allow the William Neilson to perform a rigorous quarantine, but they would not allow it, anti insisted upon her making sail immediately. - I have taken every measure which_ occurred to me to be for our safety, and petitioned to havethe-goods landed and put into the Lazaretto, or some propmplace,r but that was not allowed, and I have entered a protest in the Consul's office accordingly." Letters were received yesterday from Corunna through France, dated the 16th, at which time the place had not fallen, nor had any subsequent attack been made by the Frei'Ch. - - Some further intelligence was received yester day at' Lloyd's, tending to confirm the account of the evacuation of Bahia by the Portuguese troops. The squadron from that place, consisting of nine men of war and six transports, was spoken with on their voyage to Lisbon on the 6th inst. in lat. 34. long. 38. W. by the Sceptre, on her passage from the River Plate to Liverpool. This intelli gence was brought to Dartmouth by the niumph, from St. Helena, which vessel spoke the Sceptre on the 9th, in lat. 29. long. 38. The Gibraltar Chronicle of the Ist of August says-.--- 4 Though private letters received yester day from Malaga, under date of the 29th ult, state, that it was not known' that the French had yet entered Granada, we are just informed that news has since arrived by sea, according to which it would appear that the French had entered Granada; and that at Malaga, yesterday, they were expected in a couple of days."

The former Gentleman was wounded above his right elbow, and the Affair terminated. Mr. MARTIN'S exertions in the cause of hu manity entitle him to the respect of all mankind. The Honourable Gentleman seems to be as heroic as humane, for he ventures alone into Smithfield Market, confident no doubt, that the cause will support him and. ensure the protection of all true Englishmen.

A Maori was shot by Mr. B. on Saturday last, on his farm near Halesworth, Suffolk, which is about twelve miles from Southwold, and ten from the sea coast. — The rains and storms had disturbed the waters; and this heron was on the banks of a pond diving for the fish which had been agitated by the weather. From wing to wing it measured two yards; from the end of its beak to the point of its short ta il about a yard and a half , thou g h the 1 body was only the size of a common fowl, such was the length of its neck. Its bill was about seven inches long; the colour of the bird's feathers was that of the ordinary pigeon. it was nailed against the barn doors es - a trophy, and as a warning. To kill this bird, would, in former times have been a great offence ; it is still a violation of the times, of die kingdom. By 1 James 27, every person who shall shoot at, kill, or destroy any heron, with Run 4r bow, shall, on conviction before two Justices, or oath of two witnesses , b comm itted to by confession, mo nths. unless on conviction he p a y s to gaol for three the Churchwardens, for the . use of the poor, 20 s. for each heron ; or become bound not to offend in like hou manner again. By 19 Henry VII. c. 11 . no person, witt his take, or cause to be taken , by means own grounds, shall flea, of craft or engine, any Wens, unless it be with hawking, or with long bows, on pain of 6s. lid. &c. By the same Art, no person without his own ground, shall take any young herons pain of 108., in like manner for every out of the nest, on young heron. And by the 26th of Henry . the Eighth, -C. 11.. if any person from March to June, inclusive, shall take PT destroy the eggs of any heram, he shall be imprisoned for one year, and forfeit for every egg lid.—All these Acts remain unreptaled, but they have long been obsolete.

LIVERPOOL, Aun. 25.—The wet Saint, St. Swithin, ap pears determined to have no mercy on us in this part of the. country, for we have not been without rain since he made his appearance in the Calendar of this year. Great anxiety was felt by all classes this morning, as the clouds bore a most threatening aspect, and from nine o'clock until nearly twelve, the ram poured down in torrents; but, notwith standing the unfavourable state of the weather, some thou sands of, our townsmen had assembled on the Prince's apd George's Piers, to witness the embarkation of Mr. Huskisson and "Mr. Canning, with the numerous party who were in. rhea to meet those Gentlemen, on board the steam packet, Emerald Isle. The vessel was moored about two hundred yards from the Pier, and the whole party, consisting of up. wards of two. hundred Gentlemen were taken on board at. about eleven o'clock, by the Seac4trlbe steam-boat. The .ar rangements were very excellent, and the appearance of the. ships in the Docks and River, 'ilecarated with numerous flags, enlivened the scene, in spite of the ,rain. _Mr. Canning, Mr. Huskisson, and Mr. J. Gladstone, came on board at half-past eleven, and were received by the company with three times three hearty cheers, the band playing".

CLARKE, B.A. (From the Miry Gll.-zette, Ang.27.) • Time, which sweeps down the temple and the tower, And plants their ruins with the wild weed's flower, But serves to spread the true renown of them Who wore the laurel or the diadem : And thus the virtuous and the brave receive Fresh honours, yearly, front the hearts which grievq That they so soon should fall, and in their prime Bequeath their names a legacy to.Tline. And thus, another year, around his bust Whose deathless fame is England's dearest trust, We meet to pledge the festive cup, and raise The grateful voice of undissembling praise To him whose star upon the land bath set Amid the clouds of darkness and regret. And whilst his eulogies are floating round, And mingling in our ea r s eac h var i e d sound That tells how dear the memory of the man Whose course of brightness unto Victory ran, May-nob this verse a brief attention claim, Winch owns the passport of his mighty name?- But ne'er be mine the idle task, to plead For him whose cause no rude defence can need !

NEW KYSTEM OF Rollll.Elty IN TUE VICINITY or 1114 'ow .—For the last ten days a new ana successful mode of plunder has been carried on in the neighbourhood of London, by tiro or three fellows, who pretend to belong to the Bow-street patrole, and who are dressed in red waist- coasts, and produce constables' staves. The plan of these villains • appears to be perfectly arranged; they never go to a house until they ascertain that the . proprietor happens to be fro% home, and not then until after nine o'clock at night. They pr,etend to come in search of a suspected character, or to look for stolen' or contraband goods. Easy access is found by assuming the authority, of police-officers, and upon being shewn through the different apartments, they never fall to, carry away whatever is valuable and portable that conies within their reach. A few evenings since, about ten o'clock, they went to the Red Lion, public-house, near Wimbledon, common. The landlord wee not at home, and they proceeded to search the house for an ideal suspicious character In doing so they contrived to carry tiff from the diffkrent apartments property to a considerahle Oro.lint. The same night they went to a tradesman's house in th,e neighbourhood, and he being from home, they searched the house under the pretence of look ing for stolen goods. The villains succeeded in plundering the house of some valuable property, with which they got clear off, ' before any discovery of the robbery took place. The same ne farious plan has also succeeded in a public-house in the neigh bourhood of Acton. About three o'clock on Thursday morning the house of Broompark, west of Trinity Pier, in the possession of Mr. Stevenson, was entered by robbers, who succeeded in car rying away a great 9uarnity of articles. Next day one of Mr. Stevenson's domestics discovered a number of bottles which had been removed concealed under a hedge at sonic little dis tance from the house, information of which circumstance w as conveyed to the tlinburgh police. Serjeant Wright was in consequence, dispatched to Broompark, where he lay perdu at some little distance from the bottles, ontil a fellow made his appearance and proceeded to remove them, when Wright started from his concealment, and laid hold of him. The man then confessed that he hadhe,en engaged in the robbery, and gave the name of his assoctate, who, the sanse shy, was ap prehended in his lodgings in Leith, where, upon the approach of the officers, he had concealed himself between the joists and the slates of the house. In the lodgings 0 both prisoners the whole of the stolen property, and snore than Mr. Stevenson was aware of, was discovered and brought to the . Police-oflice. The prisoners are footmen out place; and one of them has been previously In ilridewell.--(Rdstsburgis Courant, Aug. 25 t ) melancholy accident happened in the early part of last week on board the ship Friends, CHOATE, then about to sail from Greenock for New York with passengers.

THE THEATRES: HAYNAnicyr.--The new Comedy of Streeti , .. •hearts and Wives was announced, for tepresenta r tion last night, but on account of the sutiden in-. disposition of,Miss LOVE, was unavoidably sus-. pended„ and the substitute was Exchange. no, Robbery. This latter comedy was so well sup- ,ported by Ltyrott, TERRY., WILLIAMS, Mrs. CitArrEttLET and indeed the whole Drantatit Persona!, that the audience had: no reason, except for the illness of a respectable young actress, to consider the Exchange.. as a Robbery. The farce of Fish out °pouter followed, and the. approbation which attended it the night before was folly. confirmed on this occasion. Indeed' this farce is so c well constructed,,ahounds in such, ludicrous incidents, and.ip particular affords such ample scope for. the talents of LisTort, that it: is likely to become one of, the most popular pieces, which this prolific Theatre hos brought forward..
