As we anticipated in our last, this unfortunate gentleman was arrested ; but the difficulty was much greater than was at first imagined. The two Lon don Officers (Farmer and Salmon), left town at a late hour on Wednesday evening, accompanied by Mr. Goodwin Young, one of our City Peace Officers, and arrived at Buttevant at seven o'clock, and im mediately proceeded to the house of a Mrs. Fether ston, a relative of Austin's, but he was not to he found, and the woman was quite unsatisfactory in her replies to the officers. She admitted that he'had been there—indeed this she could not deny, for the officers found some of his linen—but asserted, that he had left it on the day before on his return to Cork, where they no doubt would find him if they returned ; but of this the officers knew better. Accordingly they began to make enquiries, and by a mere accident they discovered that he had his t will: entered at the Mail-Coach Office, for Charle ville, in the name of Johnson, and that he walked there himself, a distance of about 10 miles, on Mon day last. The officers t h e n p rocured fresh horses, ,and arrived in Charleville about eleven o'clock, and they ascertained that a person answering the de scription (ironing white hat and spectacles), had been there at the hotel, for the last two days, and only left it that morning-14 boy having carried his portmanteau, but they could not say what direction he took. The officers then continued their route, as they were already aware that be had friends in that part of the country with whom lie could remain, and they were determined to makes vigilant search for him; before they should go on further, and having reached Bruff about half-past two in the morning, they ascer tained that he entered the Coik coach at Killmallock, still in the name of Johnson, and that he went on to Li merick. The officers procured fresh horses there, and drove off with rapidity—determined to intercept him if he intended to take his departure by any of the morning coaches from that city. They arrived there at five o'clock, and Mr. Young took the ne cessary steps to have the warrant backed by a Ma gistrate, and while he was so doing the English peace officers retired to a hotel. When returning from the Magistrate's .about seven o'clock in the morning, Mr. Young most opportunely fell in with a man answering the description of Mr. Austin, nearly opposite the Commercial Buildings, and lie watched him closely until he sawhirn turn up a private t-areet, and enter a public house. He was then satisfied of his man, and lie ran back for Farmer and Salmon (the former of whom knew him very well for a ;;. , ries of years), and on their coming up they discovered coming out of the house,and took him prisoner. lie did not seem much embarrassed at the moment, and being interrogated, he informed them that he had put up at the Canal Hotel, whither they went ' • and only f oun d 60 sovereigns o n search baing made the y about h i m. Having refreshed t h emse l ves t h ey im mediately took their departure for Cork, and arrived here at the Brule well on Thursday night, where they safely lodged him. On passing through Mal low, while taking refreshment, he saw the Constitu tion on the table, whichcontained the particul ars o f his having abscon ded, and the pursuit that was in stituted, which having read, he seethed affected. He denies that he has embezzled-. any money ; lie mentions the large sums that went through his hands in his situation, amounting some years to two millions and a half, and says that any apparent deficiency must be the effect ol an erroF in the accounts. He wi ll be sent to England in a few days. It has been suggested that there would be fewer stage-coach accidents, if greater publicity were given to them when they do occur.

Next .rnorning the greyhound and a remarkably strong bull and mastiff dog, belonging to the same gentleman, disappeared, and no trace could be found of either of them until a few ,days afterwards, when a latter was received from the Welsh gentleman, saying, his bull-dog and greyhound hash arrived in Cheshire, and bot h had attacked the mastiff belonging to nis friend, and had destroyed him before they ceuld be sPpa rated.

The Amount paid for Salaries in the Port of London is however included in the Totals. The number of Persons employed in the Port of London in 1815, was 2,043. A considerable part of the Emoluments of the Officers of the Customs formerly arose from Fees : these Fees were abolished, and the Salaries increased in the years 1806, 1807, and 1811. t The Barrack Department and Storekeeper General's Department having been transferred to the Ordnance between 1819 and 182'7, and being included in the Returns of that Office for 1827, they have, in order to make a fair comparison throughout the account, been added, so far as the accounts could be prepared by the Ordnance Department, throughout the whole period. • Whitehall Treasury Chambers, July 10, 1828. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Gazette de France, Aug. 24.) CONSTANTINOPLE, JULY 26.—The Porte has just been informed, by the Minister of the Netherlands, that its efforts to induce the return of Hr. Stratford Canning to his post have failed. A courier from Vienna, who came to the hotel of the Minister of the Netherlands, has brought this news, which has much disappointed the hopes of the Turks. The Divan deliberated, on the 18th, upon this message, and considered all the documents relative to this negociation. This is a proof of the importance which is attached here to the sentiments of the English Cabinet. The sitting of the Divan lasted six hours, and when it terminated, at eleven o'clock at night, the Mufti, the Grand Vizier, the Reis Effendi, and three other Members formed themselves into a Secret Committee; the Sultan himself was present at it, and caused the questions which had been laid before the Cieneral Assembly of the Divan to be again dis cussed. The questions are said to have been to the following effect :- 1. Not having succeeded in effecting a separate agreement with one of the Powers respecting the stipulations of the Treaty of the 6th July, is it for the interest of the Porte to accede, without restric t;on, to this stipulation, and send an Ambassador to Corfi4? 2. Is it for the interest of the Porte to endeavour to come to an agreement with Russia, or ought it to try the fortune of arms till the last moment ? Would it do better to treat with Russia than with the two other Powers ? The opinions of the Committee were divided on the first question, and it remained undecided. With respect to the second, the debates were very stormy ; the pa,cific party insisted upon sending two Commiisioners to the Russian head-quarters ; but the opposite party appears to have preponderated; and the Sultan exclaimed, at the conch Sion, " Let the horse's bridle be cut, if the shock is to abide ;" that is to say, the war will be carried on to the last ex tremity. PARIS, AUG. 23.—A letter from Bucharest says, that th.e Russians have commenced the bombardment of Silistria ; and that the fire was so vigorous and well supported that, on the 21st and 22d, the can nonade was heard at Bucharest. (From the Constitu6oonel.) PAats, Auo. 23.—We are sorry to bud ourselves obliged to retract the praises we gave our Ministry, fur the haste with which they had outrun the national wishes, and succoured the Portuguese who had taken refuge in Spain. The following are the facts :—When the blindness of some Powers and the perversity of others sent Don Miguel to Por tugal, and treason at hom e c o nspired with intrigues abroad to give a shameful triumph to a perjured brother and an unnatural husband, there were some persons in Portugal who attached importance to their pledged fa,itli; those in the ports found refuge on board foreign ships z and left the country. The inhabitant s of the inferior and the garrisons of the frontiers were less fortunate ; and, to thg D umb er of 10,000, they wer,,?, obliged to flee into sp a i n . i fr v e and 0)1 ' 11 he H e Qrdere can eas ily coneetv.e that the presence of these ' emigrant:. must have been trowl4eoT.Ne to the King most have had some appre d them to leave' the and gave them a month to bud the Spanish terrttory, ° li f e n S s P i o a r i t n s ' from Don Pedro, for whom they means, To whom could they address themselves but to the Envoys of Ministry f their ambassadors t o Eng land, who had caused sm.:a of their had suffered so much ; and to the of Eng " The Brazilian En be the bearer of their Charter . of no refusal, and they applied to the English Mn voys felt that the honour of their SlOveyeignall_owil, ter for vessels. At the same time Mes yana and Besende, the Brazilian Minister sat Lon on and Vienna, drew up the Protest, srs. Itadba wirio has already appeared in the . Journals. They also wrote a teWr to Don Miguel to remind him Of his duty. They showed to the Duke of Wellington the letter they had written to Don Miguel, and asked him for ves sels. He received them badly, found the letter :: wproper, and di4.lqed no pity for the Portti geese and Brazilian Refugees, and declared that he would not expend a farthing to extricate them from their difficult position. On the contrary, the Minister for Foreign Affairs approved of the tone of the letter to Don Miguel, and caused some severer words to be added, but he referred them to the Prime Minister for the vessels. Deceived in their hopes from the Duke of Wellington, the En►oys applied to the French Government. Its answer was what it ought to be, noble and generous. The Mi nistry showed itself worthy of the great nation at the head of which it is placed. Let other nations obtain prosperity by consulting the cold precepts of interest : it is the glory of our country to rise at times above such vulgar calculations, and to trample under foot temporary interests to obtain that ho nour of which nothing can tarnish the splendour, and which no nation can envy us, for it is founded on morality and disinterestedness. The French Mi- nistry immediately made the finest promises. It declared that it would interfere immediately and ami cably with the Spanish and English Governments ; that it would send vessels to take away the Portu guese; and that when they reached France, it would supply their most pressing wants. Accord ingly both Governments were wtitten to. One was asked for delay, and the other for assistance.-- The Spanish Government appears to have granted the request, for the month granted to the Por tuguese has long since elapsed, and they have not been sent away. The Duke was not so accessi ble to pity. Not only did refuse to send vessels or to intercede for 1.. e proscribed—he showed his discontent with the generous and dis interested protection granted to the Portuguese. Not willing to succour them himself, he dreaded that another should obtain the popularity he lost for the sake of Don Miguel, whom he proposes in a short time to re-acknowledge. It is melancholy to add, that the French Ministers did .not dare to give way to their generous expressions in opposition to the cruel egotism of the English Minister, and that ' the Portuguese, who in their distress had appealed to us, and placed their hopes in our humanity, will only have to die from hunger on the Spanish soil, if they wish not to perish more rapidly under the sword of Don Miguel. _ _ The ordinance relative to the hulks, which we subjoin, is preceded by .. report made to his Majesty by the Minister of Marine, which is replete with truly philanthropic intentions. He reminds his Ma jesty of a Commission in 1819, which decided in favour of transportation, admitting that the esta blishments, like those of the English at New Hol land, might be formed at some of the islands of the great ocean. This report led to no results. Subse quently the memorial of Col, Quentin,and a pamphlet of the Marquis de Barbe-Marbois, attracted the atten tion of M. Hyde de Neuville. In the former transporta tion is admitted for one class of condemned persons. M. Marbeis proves, in his pamphlet, that transpor tation would be always difficult, sometimes imprac ticable and very expensive. The discussion is only adjourned, and the state of the Hulks is, in the meantime, undergoing revision, From the report of M. Hyde de Neuville, it results, that the number of convicts at Brest, Toulon, and Rochefort, is 8,564, of whom, 4,403 sentenced to ten years and yn4er ? 1,616 to more than 10 years, 252 to more than 20 years, and 2,293 for life. At Toulon there are 4,373 ; at Brest, 2,532 ; and at Rochefort, 1,654. The following is the Ordinance, dated august 20th. Article I. The convicts shall henceforth be di vided among the naval ports of the kingdom,according to the length of time they are to suffer, as follows ; GEORGE R. DAWSON. bour shall be sent to the different places where they are to be kept, according to the extent of their punishment. (From the Constitutionnel of Saturday.) TURKISH BULLETINS. CONSTANTINOPLE, JULY 26.—The hope which the Porte had conceived that its position on the northern side of the Balkan would form a bulwark against the Russian armies, has , been nearly justified by a series of successful engagements fought since the beginning of July. It appeared that the Russian Commanders had not collected imposing forces upon any particular point, but lost much time in partial attacks, which having been frequently repelled by the Turks, inspired the latter with great additional courage, and confirmed the Porte in the system of operations which it had adopted. The first Bulletin from the Turkish head-quarters arrived here on the 12th. It announced an attack made by the Turks on the position of Hadschi-Oglu- Bazardschik, between Chumla and Varna, and their defeat, after having experienced a loss of 1,500 men. The day after, says the Bulletin, the attack was re newed, and repulsed as before, chiefly through the courageous defence of the regular troops. The Russians lost, in this second action, many men and six pieces of cannon. The same day a very sharp encounter took place between a Russian corps of about 15,000 men,witli 20 pieces of cannon, and the Turks stationed at Moldaviz, opposite Widdin, on the left bank of the Danube. The Russians, after an obstinate action of five hours, were repulsed, and lost on that occasion 2,000 men in killed arid wounded, and a greater number of prisoners. They were even pursued to a considerable distance on the Wallachian territory by a column which debouched from Kalifat. On the 10th, a Russian corps of 4,000 cavalry, and from 4 to 5,000 infantry, was defeated by Alisch ..cha at Taschilitope, and lost 600 horsemen, who were killed, and some prisoners, among whom was a staff officer. From the 10th to the 15th, there were several conflicts less favourable to the Turks. Here there is a chasm in the communicatious made by the Porte, which leaps at once to some skirmishes which oc curred :in the environs of Varna, and at a short dis tance from Choumla. On the 15th, 16th, and 17th, the Russians made several attacks on the Turkish positions near Varna. They had succeded in approaching that town, but the arrival of the Captain Pacha with considerabie reinforcements, compelled them to fall back. On this occasion they are said to have had a Colonel taken prisoner, on whose person important papers were found. Yesterday, several couriers arrived from the head- quarters of Hussein Pacha, at Choumla, and from the Capitan Pacha at Varna. These dispatches an nounce victories. The following is their substance:— " The Russians had approached within a league and a half of Varna, and had attacked the Capitan Pacha on the 20th, with considerable forces : but after an obstinate conflictof twelve hours, they were repulsed, after experiencing severe losses. Mehmed Pacha was even preparing to attack them the next day in their positions, but they had quitted them during the night, and fallen back a whole league. During these events the division of the Russian fleet had attempted to effect a landing at Varna, but bad been also repulsed by the Turkish batteries, the fire of which had damaged several transports. An at tack made the same day by the Russians on the position of Choumla, had not a more favourable re sult. They were beaten off, after losing 2,000 killed, and many prisoners," Such is the substance of the Turkish bulletins. 2. Tho - se sentenced flir ten years, to Toulon. 3.

BERLIN, AUG. 18.—Our States Gazette contains some new bulletins of the Russian army, to the 29th of July inclusive. Two of them relate to the ope rations for the removal of the Imperial head-quarters from Bazardjick on the 16th July to the 20th of that month. Another bulletin of the 27th, contains the circumstantial account of the events mentioned in the preceding number of the States Gazette.* Lastly, a fourth, dated two days later, is of the fol lowing tenour : " CAMP BEFORE CIIOUMLA, JULY 29.—Yesterday afternoon, at five o'clock, two brigades of the 3d division of the army before Choumla, under the command of Rudzemez, marched with the right wing, in order to occupy the thickly wooded emi nences which are situated on the road to Silistria. This movement was successfully effected under the protection of the 3d brigade of horse artillery, sup ported by the division of light cavalry. A brigade of infantry formed the reserve. During the move ment, a mass of the enemy's cavalry, supported by the redoubts erected before Choumla and by !some pieces of flying artillery which were directed against us, endeavoured to dislodge us from our advan tageous position. Scarcely however had the enemy's artillery appeared, when it was dismounted. The Turkish cavalry surrounded the extremity of our right wing, and briskly charged the squares of the 15th and 16th regiments of Chasseurs, which formed there, and on the other side made an attempt to get possession of our artillery. But all their endeavours were fruitless. By a well-supported fire of howitzers and musketry the enemy was repulsed at all points, with the loss of 400 killed. We had 30 killed and 50 wounded. " On this occasion the Emperor presented a sword ornamented with diamonds to Adjutant-General Kisielew, and the ribbon of the Order of St. Anne to General Berg. To-day we have fortified the heights of which we took possession yesterday, in spite of the fire of the enemy's redoubts and en trenchments, and the repeated attacks of his sharp shooters, General Gerow, who, with a division of Cossacks, has taken the road to Kusyeru, has ar rived at Rasgrad. He has taken a hundred pri soners, and rescued a thousand families of Bulga rian Christians from the persecution of the Turks.— His Majesty has rewarded him with the Order of St. Anne of the first class. General Rudiger, at the head of a division of infantry, cavalry, and artillery, has taken the road to Esti Hanboul ; and Colonel Leprandi has marched towards Dziuman." Admiral Greg, with the whole fleet under his command, has arrived at Havarna, whence he will proceed to Varna, to assist in the siege of that for tress. Silistria is invested, and the reserved batta lions of the military colonies have already entered Moldavia and Wallachia.

A narrative fuller of painful interest than the sub joined has seldom been perused. The heroic de votion of the fisherman who was instrumental in saving so many lives, and his generous sacrifices afterwards for their comfort, cannot be too highly extolled : His Majesty's ship Tyne, Halifax, July 26. Sir—l have just arrived at this port, with 152 passengers, men, women, and children, saved from the wreck of the brig Dispatch, of Workington, commanded by the late William Lancaster, who was drowned shortly after the vessel struck on a rock, three-quarters of a mile from the main, and eighteen miles to the eastward of Cape Ray. The mate (a brother of the master), and the crew, nine in num ber, were all saved, and are with me. From the statement of the mate it appears, that the brig sailed from Londonderry, with 200 pas sengers, on the 29th of May, bound to Quebec; that from the 19th until the 29th of June, they did not see the sun, and from the 30th to the 7th inst. they could not get an observation ; on that day they made the land, which they supposed was Cape Chapeau Rouge. From that time they had constant fog, but having run with a S. E. wind, till it was supposed they were abreast of Cape Ray, the course was altered to N.W. § N. about 5 p.m., on Thurs day the 10th. At 6 p.m. a rock was discovered three points on the lee-bow ; the helm was put down, but the brig struck almost immediately and filled. An attempt was made to land the passengers from the lower studding sail-boom, but it failed. The pinnace was got out, and instantly store ; the jolly boat was lowered to try and save the women, but the surf was too high, and after hanging on by a rope for three hours, the boat was thrown over the quarter, and the Master with two pas sengers who were in her drowned. The mate succeed. ed in getting the long-boat out, which fortunately swung clear of the brig, with about 30 passengers in her : they held on all night by a rope from the bows, and the following morning the mate and three seamen dropped from the jib-boom, with two oars, into the boat, and landed on the main those in her. The stern of the brig fortunately fell on the rock when she parted, and the majority of the pas sengers got to the rock by a rope from it. From Friday till Tuesday evening was occupied in getting them off in small parties, through a tremendous surf to the main. Four men and ten children perished from fatigue on the rock, and between thirty and forty were washed off, or fell between the brig and were drowned. Those who were saved are in debted for their lives to the exertions of a fisherma'n named Harvey, residing with a wife and eight chil dren on Dead Island, about four miles from the spot where the accident happened. He had picked up on Saturday evening a keg and straw bed close to his house, which led him to suspect a shipwreck. The following morning (Sunday), at daylight, he started in a boat only twelve feet long, with his eldest girl, aged 17, and eldest son only 19, as his crew, and by six o'clock reached the spot where those landed at first in the long-boat, and only six others who had been got off the rock, with the wreck of the jolly-boat, which had been thrown on shore. Harvey's knowledge of the place and tides enabled him to direct the exertions of the mate and three seamen in placing the boats. On Sunday evening at six, p.m., 60 men, women, and children, were saved that night ; during Monday, 30; and on Tuesday all who were alive. The whole were obliged to strip, to enable the seamen in the boats to drag them with a small line through the surf, and were afterwards barely covered with clothes washed ou shore. Harvey during each night had conveyed to his house those most in want of support, and shared with them half of the stock of provisions provided for the support of his family till the autumn; the other half he gave to those on the beach. After all were saved, he made two trips to Port aux Basques, with the first party, and was about to return to the wreck for the remainder, when I arrived, in conse quence of intelligence he forwarded to Cape Ray, where this ship was. I remain, Sir, your obedient servant, R. GRANT, Captain. On Saturday afternoon, a young man was found lying on the road pear Nairn in a state of insensibility. He was parried into the town, and revived on restoratives being administered ; he stated that LP was on his way from the County Terry, Ireland, to Lord REAM'S country," and had been two days without food. He was refreshed by rest and nourishment at Nairn, so as to be able on Monday to proceed on his journey, —,-Inverness .Journal, PRICES (if STOOKS THIS Bank Stock' 2133 (1 3 per Cent.

[Evening...A minutes after S. • wl„ P,1 4 btr LONDON. TUESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 26, MEI. The French Papers of Saturday, and the Gazette de France of Sunday's date, have been received. They contain some curious particulars both with respect to the conduct of the Engiish and French Governments towards the unfortu— nate Portuguese exiles in Gallicia, and a late discussion in the Divan, touching the pressing exigency of Turkish affairs. We must, how ever, premise that neither of the documents re ferred to bears the stamp of officiality, though affecting that assumption. With respect to the unfortunate Portuguese we shall say nothing—because the claims of persecuted patriots find no echo in the bosom of our untoward" Ministry. The national character of England is at this moment sinking to what it was in the worst days of Lord CAS' TLEREAGR'S jesuitical subserviency to Conti• nental Despots. Prince METTERNICH influ' ences our Foreign Office, and Don MtatiO warps our Cabinet. With respect to the affairs of the East, it i$ said that the Divan, having learned the failure of the application requesting the return of Mr. S• CANNING, sat six hours in deliberation, after which the MUFTI, the GRAND VIZIR, the REIS EFFENDI, and three other member , formed themselves into a secret committee' The SULTAN himself was present at it, and caused the questions which had been laid before the general assembly of the Divan to be ags,i' l discussed. These questions are said to ha/ e related to the existing state of things, and whe' ther it was best to yield at once, or to persever e and try the fortune of war. The result is 1 0 given, and we much doubt the correctness of the Whole, as state secrets of such importance are not likely to transpire so suddenly. The Turks have published bulletins of. thei r own, giving, as might be expected, a new fel' ture to events. They claim victories in prOP°V tion as they lose ground. The Allgemeine Zeitutzg of the 19th says that the SULTAN has given positive orders against the evacuation of the Morea by 'BRA HIM PACIIA. This will avail him little if th e French are really bent upon going to th e Morea. The plague had entirely ceased in 1 311 " charest, and no mortality had taken place Wallachia for several days : CONSTANTTNOTLE, JULY 26.
