HAY.—Fora number of miles around this city the hay crop is now nearly all safely in the rick, and beyond the ordinary contingencies of weather. A larger crop, and a more flattering appearance of an abundant aftermath, have not been seen in the remembrance of the oldest farmers in this vicinity. Yesterday about 120 stones were delivered to a brewer in town, at the rate of 6d. a stone. Only one large purchase is yet mentioned in this city. An extensive coach proprietor, who keeps from a dozen to a score of horses, has bought the produce of se veral acres, at 7d. a stone. It is to be driven to him in weekly or fortnightly supplies, as his demand requires, and people well acquainted with these matters consider this a better bargain, _ by fully a penny a stone, than those malls under the ordinary conditions.—Scotsman. It will be remembered that NAPOLEON Buo- NA7Artaa, in his will which he made at St. Helena, left tokens of his gratitude to several of his old companions in arms, out of the wreck of the fortune which he then pos sessed. Among others he left a legacy of 100,000 francs to the SOH or grandson of General DIMOMMIER, and de clared in his will, " that he bad to the moment of his death a noble and touching remembrance of the marks of esteem and friendship which that brave and intrepid Gene ral bad bestowed on him." There were three competitors for this legacy,—the first Madame ZEccA Ducoatattea, the widow of one of the sons of the General ; Madame COLLETTE, his daughter ; asd M. DESIRE ADONIS Du- GOMMIER, the son of the General. The legitimacy of this person was disputed. Tliti case in the first instance was submitted to M. LAIITTE, who had 6,000,000 francs in his possession for the liquidation of the legacies as an arbi- Vator. That gentleman, in the first place, declared against tie claims of the widow. From this decision she appealed t i the Court Royal at Paris. The case has occupiel its Lit t •idiot' for several dsys, and judgment has not yet been given. LONDON. SATURDAY EVENING, JULY 12, 1828. We have no further news from Oporto ; and the public anxiety in the meantime is extreme. By Monday we shall, no doubt, have authentic communications. For our own part we do not at all coincide in the opinion of those who think the cause of the Constitutionalists desperate; much less do we believe the wild and inco herent reports at present in circulation respect ing the defeat and utter dispersion of the Patriot Army. That they may have retreated we do not deny, but that they have cowardly fled in the face of MR - ames « Grand Army" seems very incomprehensible, if the previous ac counts of their enthusiasm and numbers were at all correct. In our opinion, and we have ex pressed it before, the great—the paralyzing error of the Constitutionalists, was in their delaying to strike the iron while it was hot, and push on to Lisbon, and so take advantage of the general consternation. But they wanted a resolute leader—a man whose firmness of character and promptitude of action would have in spired confidence into the lukewarm, and animated the conduct of all by a well-timed and spirited decision. That opportunity has passed away; but while the Constitutional army remains faithful, 'we have no apprehension for the ultimate result, provided the active opera tions of the campaign are entrusted to the energy of SALDANHA. It appears that much of the exaggeration re specting the flight of the troops is attributable to the crazy conduct of the Count DE TAIPA, whose alarm at finding the Constitutional army make a retrograde movement was so great, that he hurried back to Oporto, meeting PALMELLA, VILLA FLOR, and SALDANHA, 011 their way to the army, in his flight ; and his consternation was so extreme that he besought them to ac company him, saying that " all was over." PALMELLA and VILLA FLOR returned to con sult the Government, but SALDANHA proceeded at once to the army, which lie instantly rallied and cheered by his timely presence. Next day PALMELLA and VILLA FLOR returned to the army, and thus matters rest at present. It is but justice to add, that the Conde DE TA IPA was attacked by a brain fever : on arriv ing at Oporto he instantly repaired on board an English bria-of-war to save his life. The terror, of the British merchants at Oporto has communicated itself to their brethren here who are interested in that quarter. A deputa tion of Them yesterday waited upon the Earl of ABERDEEN, with the following memorial s , sum- 11. • "Information having been received to -day from Oporto, dated 30th of June, stating that the army of Don Miguel was within a short distance of Oporto, and expressing strong fears respecting the safety of British persons and property in case the city should be taken, the undersigned Oporto merchants beg leave to represent this circumstance to his Majesty's Government, and respectfully to claim its protection. " They therefore request the favour of the Earl of Aber deen to take prompt and effectual measures fOr the protec tion of the British subjects and property at Oport n , daily as, owing to the port being in a state of blockade, the means of removal of families and property are cut off. " To the Right Hon. the Earl of Aberdeen, &e." The following is stated in the Times of this morning to be a correct account of what trans pired ; but we cannot bring ourselves to think that his MAJESTY'S Government have not acted in a very Sir William A'Court sort of manner in withdrawing not only our military, but our naval protection, from the British Residents, at the very moment when they most needed assist ance, from the avowed hostility of that ruffian MIGUEL, who commenced putting the plot of usurpation in practice the moment he landed After stating the imminent danger apprehended by th e Oporto merchants from the near approach of Don Miguel's army to that city, and denunciations of vengeance against the English having been made by the Miguelite party, th e deputation requested his Lordship to inform them whether in case of the destruction of their property. this Government would consider that they had a fair claim upon that of Portugal for indemnification. His Lordship assured them that if the British merchants had conducted themselves ac cording to the laws of the country, and had abstained from any acts involving them with either party, there would be a very strong claim for indemnity, and that his Majesty's Government had instructed Sir Frederick Lamb to make the strongest remonstrances against any such infringement of the rights of British subjects, as such a line of conduct would incur the heavy displeasure of his Majesty's Go vernment. The deputation next inquired whether the blockade, and the stoppage of communications, were not considered by his 'Majesty's Government as an infraction of the treaty with Portugal? His Lordship observed in reply, that the treaty appeared merely to have reference to a case of a foreign war even with this country ; but that it did not provide for a case of civil war, which might render it necessary for the Portuguese Government to take steps apparently in violation of the treaty. His Lordship said, that it had not been the wish of his Majesty's Government to sanction the blockade, but that it had been thought consistent with our principles so to do; but that, certainly, there were infor malities in , the manner in which this blockade had been enforced, which gave his Majesty's Government the power to claim free egress for vessels now at Oporto, though they could not permit inore vessels to enter. His Lordship, however, admitted that the ulnae of letters and their detention could not be sanctioned, and that parties sustaining loss by such an act would be fairly enti tled to remuneration. If not permitted to be sent to their destination, they should have been returned to the British authorities. The deputation having been assured by his Lordship that he had made application for the free egress of British subjects and their property from Oporto, notwithstanding that his offer, he thought, had been declined, the deputa tion explained that they merely meant to express, that unless shipping were allowed to enter the port, they could not remove their property, and that they certainly bad no desire to remove it, provided they could by any means be protected in staying, as the loss and breaking up of esta blishments consequent upon such removal would be nearly tantamount to its destruction. The deputation then sug gested, that the ships of war now there, which his Lord ship deemed sufficient to protect or remove the whole of the families at Oporto, were, from their small size and want of accommodation, quite unequal to that purpose, and therefore earnestly requested that a frigate might im mediately be despatched to be off Oporto, and receive families and their valuables. This his Lordship promised should be immediately done, if, upon his representation to the Admiralty, it could be effected, and that if a_frigate could not be spared, a ship of the next class should be sent. His Lordship renewed the assurance lie had formerly given of the, sincere wish of his Majesty's Governtnentto afford every possible protection, and that he was quite alive to the situation of the families at Oporto. At the same time his Lordship expressed again his sincere hope . that no English resident either had interfered or would interfere by word or deed with politics ; which the deputation as mired his Lordship, as far as they were aware, had not been the case. Our City Correspondent says that an Express has arrived from Paris, bringing the French Rentes of Thursday : Five per Cents. 105 f. 80c.; Three per Cents. 72f. 85c. The continual rise of the above Funds for these few days past is attributed to accounts received at Paris, that the Russian Ambassador is also going to Corfu to meet the several other Ambassadors, and the moment the Turkish Ambassador, who is also expected there, arrives, negociations will be re sumed. We do not believe a word about the Ambas sadors—the Turkish question must now be settled by fighting, not by idle negotiations. .We have had too much equivocation of late. The French Papers of Wednesday, and the Gazette de France of Thursday, have been re ceived. On the 10th June the greatest tran quillity was said to reign at Constantinople. The Turks have published their Manifesto, which is said on all hands to be a masterpiece of Ottoman policy. Even the SULTAN has deigned to become an author , and to appeal to public opinion, i n a work entitl e d, rather pre - The Foundati on o f future work attempts t o j ust if y t h e m v a ie t t u o re ri l e y s_ pe s r v l h ia ic p h s, destruction of the Janissaries. We think that the SULTAN is too late in the day with his defence of a measure which h e m ust have duly considered before he risked his throne by attempting s o hazardous an ent er p r i ze . The event y been accomplished—wh e th er w i se ly or has not, on his part, but it certainly betrays symptoms of fear or unnecessary solicitude now to agitate a question, apology and, if wrong, no argument on earth could restore to its original character. The men have been killed or dispersed two years ago can an appeal to the minds of the survivors resuscitate the victims of oppression—and per haps ingratitude ? It is a bad sign for tyrants when they appeal ty public opinion in justifica tion of their acts, for it is - by acts alone that tyrants can exist. The East Retford Disfranchisement has been abandoned for the present Session. Who knows what the next will produce ? The Duke of NEWCASTLE may be on the wrong side of the Tweed by that time. Mr. GOULBUR Ni last night brought forward the Budget, and we must do him the justice to say, in a manner highly satisfactory. He did not attempt any dAusion—no bolstering up of rotten systems, merely, we presume, because they were no longer expedient. He proceeded in a clear, manly, and straight-forward course, to state the real situation of the country, and the present as wel as probable state of our finances, and ac quitted -himself altogether in a very creditable rnainer. His speech, which will be found elwhere, rang the knell of that long-con tinued bubble of national delusion—the mis named Sinking Fund—which is henceforth to be limited (nominally) to three millions, but which is, in fact, to consist only of the actual surplus of Income over Expenditure, as recommended by the Finance Committee. The Right Hon. Gentleman said that the Revenue of Great Britain alone had increased in this year over that of 1827 by 85,000/., while that of Ireland for the same period had increased 150,0001. This statement we think highly satisfactory, and we trust that Government, acting upon the increased income of the country, will see the necessity, as well as propriety, of reducing the taxes—because a timely and proper reduction would prove a source of additional revenue, by increasing the comforts of the great body of the people. THE FUNDS-(THIS DAY). CITY, TwsLrie o'CLocr. In the City the speech of the Chancellor of the Ex chequer on the Budget seems to be generally considered as a manly, candid, and fair exposure of the state of our financial affairs, and has created feelings of satisfac tion even on the part of those who might have been supposed to have considered the limitation of the Sinking Fund to the excess of the actual Revenue, as a breach of good faith to the Fundholder ; in fact, the excess of any Revenue cannot be taken for the extinction of stock only, but may be appropriated to the discharge of Exchequer Bills and the other float ing debt, and therefore to speak of this Fund as ap plicable to the funded debt, is utterly useless; the Sinking Fund is totally defunct, and is now the Sur plus Fund; it has had its day of delusion, and its friends and admirers, many of whom have derived no trifling benefit from the fictitious price at which it has enabled its votaries to keep up all funded property. It is to be hoped, therefore, the dawn of a more healthy state of things is now on the eve of com mencement, which, aided by the strictest economy in the public expenditure, will eventually ease the debt, and perhaps tend to some reduction in our heavy taxation, thereby enabling us to enter more freely into competition with our Continental neighbours, who are less borne down by the weight of taxation. We have no fresh intelligence from Portugal this morning, but although it is supposed the accounts from Oporto are much exaggerated, alarm is felt for the sue cess of the Constitutional Government of Don Pedro, and this appeared to be the impression that has been made on our Ministry, whose policy it has been difficult by many people to understand latterly, with reference to the blockade of Oporto. A Leeward Island Mail has arrived at Falmontb, bringing letters fr om St. Thomas's of the 15th nit. ; the communi cations from Laguayra are of the 24th May, and are not important ; coffee was 61 dollars ; the exchange 5 i 6.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.) COURT OF CHANCERY. IN THE MATTER OF BUXTON. Mr. AGAR was instructed to apply for half a dozen! writs of habeas corpus to bring before his Lordship the body of Mrs. Buxton. This was a subject that had been very fully discussed in the Court of. King's Bench, Mr. Buxton ran off with a young lady, and married her at Manchester against the consent of her relations. Her uncle, and some other relations, pur sued the couple-overtook them at Manchester, on the very day on which the marriage was celebrated —took possession of the lady, and have confined her ever since. An application was made by the husband to the Court of King's Bench, for a writ of habeas corpus, calling for the body of Mrs. B. to be brought before them, and that Court issued six writs in consequence of the supposed difficulty of knowing where to find her. Her uncle and others applied to have the writs quashed, which was consented to, upon their undertaking to produce the lady at the Judge's chambers, and there have the matter discussed. Mr. Justice Littledale was the Judge before whom the discussion took place, and in the result he refused to decide the question as a Judge at chambers, hence the present application. The LORD CHANCELLOR ordered the writs to issue. FOOTNER V. TIGF.S. The Court was proceeding with this part-heard motion when we left. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT.

The Duke of SUSSEX entertained a select pa r ty to dinner yesterday, at his apartments in the King's Palace at Kensington.

Lord EL LENBOROUGH and Mr. CROKER visited the Duke of WELLINGTON yesterday, at the Treasury. The Confessor of VICTOR AMADEUS, King of Sardinia, who was a Jesuit, on his death-bed much wished to see the KtNo. He was gratified, and addres sed him as follows :—" Sire, you have always treated me witk the greatest kindness; I will be grateful for it.— Never have a Jesuit for your Confessor again ; do not question me further on the subject, as I dare not answer you." Monday was witnessed in Calton the melan choly spectacle of the remains of a female being conveyed in a cart to the burying ground without a mourner or at tendant. She had infested the streets till, as generally happens with those unfortunate creatures, disease put a period to her wretched life ; and no one could be induced to follow her body to the grave.— Glasgow Chronicle. a conference took pl ace manufacturers of Kiddermi ns t er an d a b co e m twO m een it n tteeS: carpetoe t f u t td h r y week, iuurneynen, which it was hoped would have led to an arrangement of the still existing differences, more particularly as the masters offered some a d vance upon the prices which they had been end eavour i ng to esta b l i sh. The men, however, rejected the proposition, and avowed it to be their full determination to refuse all employ, except at the wages they were receivin g at the time of the strike. —Stockport Advertiser. PHENoNIENON. -- -AbOUt midnight, on Friday we ek, a meteor of extra or di nary magn i tu d e was see n to pass over Kerr idge and th e a dj acent v i l l ages . It was ac companied by a crackling noise, and when far advanced in an easterly direction, it emitted a great quantity of sparks, and a sulphureous stench, soon after which it made its exit in the shape of a comet. The weather had been intensely hot, and it is not a little singular that the appearance of this meteor was preceded by an unusual darkness, though no cloud was visible, nor was there at the time the slightest breeze perceptible. The phenomenon, we understand, was witnessed by a few individuals in the vicinity of Buxton.— Manchester Herald. WHAT NEXT ?—A few evenings ago, a re spectable tradesman, residing not one hundred miles from a fishmonger's shop in Newark, being in company at a public-house, had the misfortune to break a glass, which he paid for; and being hungry, we suppose, actually set on and eat the pieces, in the presence of several respectable people : he afterwards offered to bet a wager that h e wou ld eat half a ton weight of glass, in less time than any other man in England could eat half a ton of carrots !—Notting. ham Mercury. BEAUTY AND ECONOMY.—A friend informs us, that the other night he went to drink tea with a lady and her two daughters, and that on entering the dining room, be observed several glasses neatly arranged on the mantel-piece, in which appeared the most beautiful bulbous plants he had ever seen, the roots of which were of the d ee pest crimson, and the green sprouts strong and luxuriant. Our friend naturally inquired what they were, when one of the young ladies replied with an arch smile, " This is my mother's garden. These beautiful roots you observe, are `only red onions, with which she at first amused herself, by noticing the rapidity of their germination. She then thought of turning th em to use, ' an d o f course, w h e n we make soup, these fin e h ea l t h y sprouts are cut , m i nce d small, and not only fl a v our , b ut garnish the soup !"— Glasgow Free Press GAME.—The game, 1828, p r omises to be as plentiful as th e gra i n .

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Gazette de France, dated July 10.) CONSTANTINOPLE, JUNE Io.—The greatest tran quillity still prevails, and the Porte expects with confidence the answers of the. Courts of Paris and London to its amicable proposals. The Manifesto of the Porte against Russia is now generally known, and is considered by the Christians, as well as by the Turks, as a masterpiece of Ottoman policy. Accounts have been received from the theatre of war ' which shew the bravery a n d p erseve r ance o f the Turkish troops at Brailow. Attention has been lately excited by a pamphlet published by order of the Sultan, and which relates to' the destruction of the Janissaries. This pamphlet, to which the late conspiracy appears to have given occasion and the title of which, is " Foundation of futur e Victories," has been printed at the Imperial Press, and seems to be intended to demonstrate' to the nation that the measures adopted by the Government tended to establish unity, and to insure victory. The Reis Effendi has, within these few days, delivered several Firmans for the navigation of the Black Sea. The Dragoman of the Reis Effendi went to the Hotel of the Ambassador of the Netherlands, and delivered to him the Manifesto of the Porte against Russia. The latter, after having read it, said that the passage at the end, which related to the Conven vention of the 6th July, rendered illusory the invita tions sent to the Ministers of France and England to urge their return, as well as all the pacific steps latterly taken. The Dragoman answered, that the Porte could not follow any other line of conduct, and that the declaration had been made in the con sciousness of the justice of its cause.—Augsbnrgh Gazette. MADRID, JUNE 26.—The Queen's Regiment, which comes from Saragossa, and was to go to Es tremadura, has received orders told to Cadiz. This regiment has entered Madrid, and excited the greatest admiration by its fine appearance, which is equal to that of the Royal Guard; and its discipline is excellent. It will proceed to-morrow for its des tination. It seems that the King prolongs his jour ney from motives of economy. The payment of his household was much in arrear ; a great deal has now been paid, and at the end of the month the whole will be paid up. It is the King's resolution that all officers of his household shall be punctually paid. The Programme of the Fetes, in honour of the return of their Majesties, has been laid before the Municipality. It is said that there will be illumi nations for ten days. The triumphal car will be very splendid, and drawn by Spaniards who will be clothed and paid by the City. We have nothing' of a political nature to engage our attention, but the evacuation of Cadiz and the affairs of POrttigal.

LANGHAM. {We have received the following from the Editor of the Chester Courant, and we are extremely happf to learn that we, in common with others of our con- temporaries of Saturday last, were misinformed in announcing the death of the Hon. Mrs. Langhainf to whom it seems the paragraph had reference, al though no names were mentioned.—En. Sim] TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sir—The Sun of Saturday the sth inst. contained $ paragraph announcing the death, on the previous day, under most afflicting circumstances, of a lady recently married► the daughter of a Nobleman. I copied that paragraph into the Chester Courant of Tuesday last, supplying the names of the parties, James Hay Langham, Esq. of Glynde• bourne, Sussex, and Margaret Emma, eldest daughter of the Right Hon. Lord Kenyon; and expressing the deep sympathy and regret which the intelligence would occasion in this part of the country, where his Lordship is univcr• sally and deservedly beloved and respected. I have this moment received the following letter from $ member of the family : (COPY.) Sir—l have been very much surprised and shocked at $ statement in your last Paper respecting Mr. and MP. Longhair', the far greater part of which is without the slightest foundation. Mr. Langharn has been very ill, but, is now very much better ; and Mrs. Laughlin, who, c, course, has been in a state of great alarm and anxiety, is, am most happy to say, fast recovering her former health. I must therefore beg a contradiction to this effect may air pear in your next Paper.--I am, Sir, Your humble servant, Pradoe, July 9. THOMAS KENYON. To the Editor of the Chester Courant. CONFESSION OF ROE, THE CONVICT, I have been tried by the laws of my country, and found guilty; , but what I am going to relate is the truth, and nothing but tit(' truth, so help me G o d. Tom Varney was the planner of the robbery, and pro' vided me with a drab great coat to disguise myself, so that I should not be known; he also provided me with a bridle and saddle to ride Mr. Turtle' o horse away with, while he kept Mr. Turtle's son ie the New Inn public-house, Tottenham-court-road , till the horse was gone. He was likewise the plan' tier of two more robberies which were to have taken place—one at the 'foot of Primrose-hill of some horses, which he wished me to take away, but I did, .not approve of the plan. I said, " Varney, this wi!! not do; ,it will bring the hemp too near my chin. The next robbery he planned was at Mr. Parting' ton's, a butcher, living at Camden-town, where, t he stable being opposite to the house, he said that the horse and cart could be easily taken away with safety , I will now state the facts of the robbery for which am doomed to suffer :—I went down the yard of the New Inn, and broke the lock off the door; Finch 60 1 entered the stable and put the bridle on the horse; he, then came out of th e sta bl e t o see if " a ll was r i g ht,' and then returned into the stable and fetched the horse out, and brought it under the gateway, and I there. gave him a leg up, and he. rode to the bottom . of Tottenham-place, where George Wood was waiting; he (Wood) then put on the saddle , and rode the horse towards Hampstead. Wood said that he would send the bridle and saddle up bi the light Leicester coach on the Tuesday or Wed' nesday following, and money in the lining of the saddle. Varney gave Wood his address, as he wag to say where Varney and myself were to 'meet hire, in the country. Geo r g e W oo d i s a s h ort man , 0 1 dark complexion, has a Roman nose, and two of his fingers have been broken, but I do not know o f which hand. He generally wears top-boots, st r iped waistcoats, and an old black coat. He lives in 0 court in White Cross -street; there is a gin-shop on one side of the court, and a butcher's shop on the other. • " GEORGE ROE, his X mark. Witness my hand, " Jois - BROWN." The above confession was made to Mr. Turtle, the prosecutor, in the presence of Mr. Brown, one 0 1 the turnkeys of the prison. A very singular circumstance occurred oil board the brig Harmony, arrived last week at Leith, oa her passage home from Riga ;—a lany dropt a large else, knife overboard, which was foundin the sto mac h o f a cot' fish, caught by a seaman when fishing some time after./ Edinburgh• Courant. DRURY-LANE THEATRE.---A Meeting 0 the Proprietors of Drury-lane Theatre was held vesterdlY in the Saloon, the Right Hon. JOHN CALCRAFT, m.p. in the Chair. Mr. CALCtAFT briefly congratu l ate d the Pro' prietors'on the increasing good prospects of the Theatre since it came into the hands of the present Lessee. Thef might shortly expect to h ave a ll t h e i r difficulties removed , and a dividend of profit declared. The Report of the Sub' Committee was then read. It stated that the presen t Lessee ha! paid this year's rent to the trustees, for the 20 0 nights stipulated in his lease, and for 19 additional night' that the Theatre had been open. They had, during the year, reduced the debt of the Theatre considerably; it 0 0 ' now only 15,0001. • and the trustees had in their hands balance of 6,0001., which they would apply to the furthe r liquidation of the debt, which two or three years of s imilar success would completely pay off. The Report was noir nimously adopted. A conversation ensued on the proprieti of voting a sum to Mr. ELLISTON, jun., whose properti had been sacrificed, as well as that of his father, in fo r ' warding the objects of the establishment, but nothing w t ` resolved on in consequence. GUlLDHALL. — Yesterday, H E ATOP of the well-known firm of CROWDER,' TURNLEY, L ula 0 :: criberachers and peternien, was brought before Sir P0:, 15.- LAURIE for further examination, on a charge of havl been concerned in breaking into the dwelling-house 0 2, ware-rooms of Mr. E.

The robbery took place early on Sunday 3 11011 " ing last, supposed between one and three o'clock; an d the thieves effected their entr a n ce by first picking the lock °f St. Anne's Church-yard gates.—The prisoner, together with his wife, was fully committed.
