The Expeditio n sailed from Toulon on Sunday last, the 17th. It consisted of 48 transports, escorted by eight men of war, carrying 9,000 men. On Monday 36 more transports were to sail under Convoy of three men of war. Events of deep importance to Europe must take place before the return of this Expedition. It is said that IBRAHINI PACHA had re teived strict orders from the SULTAN not to listen to any conditions for the evacuation of the Nforea, and that IBRAHIM had expressed this determination to the Allied Admirals, adding that a military demonstration might furnish him with a pretext to retire. How does this tally with the previous accounts of the armistice Stipulating for the evacuation of the Morea ? There must be some mistake surely. The SULTAN is unremitting in his exertions for making a good defence of Constantinople, a nd has even fortified Adrianople, in order the Netter to interrupt the progress of the Ins -414", should they force the Balkan Mountains. I he very possibility of such an event being entertained by the SULTAN is indicative of his 4 PPrehensions. Already the expences of the war begin to be seriously felt at head-quarters, 4 1d the SULTAN is adopting the most obnoxious Measures for replenishing his treasury. If his 44 hbornness has come to this condition so soon, t he crisis cannot be far distant. But what can de said of such conduct ? Does it not betray 44 utter insensibility to his own danger—or a r ecklessness for the interests of his Em- P i re ? Can he hope to get better terms isr °lt the Russians before Constantinople than be yond the Danube ? But he expects to repulse t heir armies before Shumla ? Granted. What t hen ? Does he suppose that the invaders would ve lum home, because of one, two, or even three 4 Pulses at Shumla? Their mighty preparations, 4 . 1 above all, their ambition forbid any such h ° Pe. Their hearts are set upon Constanti no - P l ') and no reverses within the power of Turk e y t itiflict, can arrest their progress to the goal of ' tll 4si an ambition. The enterprise is no doubt 441 'ious, but then the object is gigantic—and the 6 ) , ) , too bewitching to be resisted by a willing r American Papers to the 2d inst. have been (, 4iv ed at the North and South American (14 e - house, extracts from which will be found Tq aQ 411 uther p ar t o f our P a per.

In fact "th ing is o m itt e d or f orgotten t h at can at all tend to injure him in the estimation of his ,count men. private accounts mention the failure of the houses of F. THOMSON NEPHEWS, and of Mr. MOORE, of New YovV:, mill of :qr. W. EVANS, of Philadelphh. The lailthe of the fil.:4 had created a great sensation at New Yolk, and the news was likely to excite -surprise at Liverpool. Tke Hon. JA.NiEs BARBOUR, Ambassador from the United States to the Court of St. James's, came a passenger in the Pacjfie, as did likewise Nir. OWEN, of New Lanark. By the arrival of the schooner Lea at Balti more, the following intelligence has been re ceived at the North and South American Coffee House, from Buenos Ayres, dated 13th June : The rumours of peace, which have been so strongly cir culated for the last four months, are now gradually dying away, and the business of the city recovering. The block ade is still strongly enforced by the Brazillians, notwith standing which, we have frequent arrivals. The patriots have gained a signal victory over their enemies in the Banda Oriental, which will be an inducement to carry on the war with increased vigour. The very heavy charges, and the enormous freight and insurances required to be paid, leave but a small profit on any article that is sent here. Goods of all descriptions are not so high by 33i per cent. as they were last week. In fact, the slightest report affects the market sensibly, which is kept in continual agitation by the speculators. Yesterday, doubloOns were at 44, to-day they are at 51 ; and as doubloons rise and fall, so are all articles of merchandize affected. Prices Current at Buenos Ayres. Exports :—Salted Hides, 60 lel dollars; Ox and Cow Hides, 35 lbs., 9 to 10 cents. ; Horse, 3 dollars each, scarce ; Horse Hair, mixed, 7 dollars 50 cents. to 8 per arroba ; Ox Horns 1 dollar 25 cents. per 1,000 ; Sheep in Wool, per dozen, 2 dollars ; Sheep's Wool, 7 dollars to S per 25 lbs; Spanish milled double dollars, 2 dollars 25 cents. each; doubloons fluctu ating from 46 to 50 dollars each. Exchange on England, 171 pence per 1 dollar currency. On Sllst May, the British packet arrived from Rio Ja neiro, but brought nothing positive respecting peace.— When she had left Buenos Ayres, it was reported that the Brazilian fleet had captured a full-rigged brig; an herma phrodite brig had been sent into Monte Video. The schooner Express was also captured, and sent to the same place. The first division of the blockading fleet was lying 12 miles from Buenos Ayres, under the command of the new Admiral Grenfell ; the second division, of six sail, was off Ensenada; and the third division off Point India. It was thought at Buenos Ayres that an attack upon the town was in contemplation, from the circumstance of the Brazilians having so large a force in the river, and from their sending in flags of truce upon every trivial occasion. Accounts have been received at Norfolk (U.S.) from Caraccas, of the 28th June; and, according to a letter of that date, General PAEZ was at Valencia, but it was reported he left there some days previous, with troops to Maracaibo the writer says he is gone to °calla, to dissolve the Convention. It is said that at Ferrol the Spaniards arc making the greatest exertions in finishing two sail of the line and two frigates, which, when completed will be joined by others, and trans ports for the purpose of carrying troops to the Havannal►. A descent on Mexico is said to Ile the object. A Ministerial Morning . Paper has the fol lowing paragraph :—" In the absence of other topics of conversation, of more immediate in terest, public attention to-day has been a good deal directed towards France ; and the spirit in which the threatened expedition is preparing in the Mediterranean, has been very freely discussed. The dogmatic tone also assumed by the Paris Journals, and the acrimonious manner in which they speak of our policy, particularly as regards Por tugal, have given rise to serious apprehensions that there is something marked or insidious in the conduct pursuing by the French Cabinet." Is it come to this already ? Does the Duke be gin to see a little day-light through the mystery of his deep Allies ? THE FUNDS-(THIS DAY). CITY, Twiarz o' CLOCK. The dullness of the weather appears to diffuse a gloom over the Consol market, where inactivity is the leading feature; scarcely a bargain was done for two hours, when a trifling sale at 87i- turned them sellers; the price at the opening was 87t- 1, they are now 87y, sellers ; the heavy stocks maintain their prices, and the public appear disposed to buy a little money stock. Exchequer Bills, 73 ; India Bonds, 106 pm. Foreign Securities, at least those most dealt in, are sought after at good prices ; Russian Stock, 96} ; Danish, 62i a ; Brazilian Bonds have im proved nearly 1 per cent., having been done freely at 63, from the opinion that peace is concluded, the Exchange being improved from 29 to 311 ; this is a good criterion that some arrangement has been made ; Portuguese are steady at 53+4 ; Spanish continues at 11 4, with little business. In Shares a slight improvement has taken place, in Brazilian, from 37 9 to 40 2 pm.; the other varieties are steady. The post letters of this morning announce the sailing of the Brazilian frigate Isabel, of 60 guns, from Falmouth to Madeira; we understand she carries considerable supplies of stores, &c. for the Constitutional Islanders ; she is understood to be well manned and a formidable class of vessel.

DREADFUL CONSEQUENCE OF PASSION On the afternoon of Friday last, John Caston, dustman, in the employ of Sennet, of Clerken well, was engaged in drinking tea in the presence of his son William, a fine lad between nine and ten years of age, and who had made the tea. After the father had partaken of the tea, he gave the vessel containing the portion that remained, to his son, desiring him also to drink, but not to take the whole. The boy drank it, and as he presented the vessel back to his father, the father said, " You haven't drank it all !" The boy jocundly replied, " No, father; here"—putting into his hand the empty vessel, having in fact drank all that it contained. The father instantly became so irritated at this con duct of his son, that he seized a pewter pint pot, and threw it violently at him. It struck him on the head and knocked him down. The pot was com pletely flattened when taken up. The father took the boy immediately to St. Bartholomew's Hospital. On examination it was found that a severe fracture and depression of one of the parietal bones had been occasioned. The depressed and fractured pieces of bone were removed, dressing applied, and the boy put to bed. No hope, however, was enter tained of his recovery from the moment of his ad mission. He remained apparently without much, if any, pain, till Thursday, when he became convulsed, and expired at four o'clock in the afternoon of that day. What makes the ease still more distress ing is, that this fellow's wife, owing to his conduct to her, has not been able to live with Lim for the last three years. She kept the boy till within three weeks ago, when, at the urgent solicitations of her husband, she was induced to let him return to his father, as lie (the father) said to work with him. INQUEST. To-day an inquest was held on the body of the boy at the Hospital, and after hearing the evidence, and viewing the body, which had been previously examined by the surgeons (and nearly half of the brain found to have been in a state of ulceration), the Jury returned a verdict of FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE.

WELLESLEY'S CHILDREN. TO THE EDITOIt OF THE SUN. Six—The public does not seem sufficieatly awake to the awful stretch of despotism which the law has lately assumed to itself with respect tollr . Long Wellesley 's children. They 410 not seem to be aware that it is a case which comes home to every father and mother, of whatever rank or standing in society they may be, that it is a tyranny which even the most despotic Governments of ancient or modern times never yet dared to enforce ; that it is a tyranny, in short, which can tear the son from the father, the daughter from the mother, mid violates the dearest and closest charities of life, at the will of an arbitrary, and, we may almost add, an irresponsible legal authority. A few individuals, high in rank and influence, acting upon a spirit of cant, which is not unfrequently associated with the most headlong profli gacy, take it into their heads that a certain parent is un worthy the guardianship of his children ; to bear out the opinion a vast deal of special pleading and perjury are put forward. The unfortunate father, whose thoughtless, open, and (we will give his persecutors the benefit of the epithet) extravagant character, affords infinite facilities to attack, is cried down as an abandoned profligate. Advantage is taken of a solitary intrigue, for which, were the circum stances originating it fully developed, great allowances might be made ; letters, penned in a style of thoughtless, and even harmless levity, are tortured by adroit special pleading into evidences of immorality, crime, and scep ticism ; and the whole swelled into one monstrous charge of utter irreclaimable abandonment on the part of the per secuted father, is wound up by that father's being publicly declared unfit for the guardianship of his children. The absurdity of this transaction is yet to come. A high and grave judicial authority sums up the question, and decides against the father's claim, because he had asserted, in a confidential letter, that his children and himself had a right to gu to the devil their own way—which, taken in a preper spirit of candour, is nothing more than a strong way of saying, no one has a right to interfere between parent and child. I have thus stated impartially the case as it stands at present between Mr. Wellesley and his opponents. An other grave question, however, arises out of it, which de serves the most serious, the most minute consideration. The father, it is taken for granted, is deprived of his chil dren on a plea of immorality ; of course they are to be con signed to the custody of those whose lives, if not altogether immaculate, are at least moral and virtuous by comparison. Is this the case in the present instance ? A LOVER OF FAIR PLAY. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. BURTON-UPON-TRENT RACES. TUESDAY, Alia. 19.—A Sweepstakes of 50 soya. each. h. ft. for three-year-olds.

The demand for worsted stuff goods at pre sent in the Halifax and Bradford markets exceeds the sup ply, but this is principally owing to so many of the weavers and combers having been employed in securing first the bay, and now the corn harvest.—Doncaster Gazette. MELANCHOLY EFFECTS OF SEDUCTION.— Last night, between ten and eleven, the neighbourhood of Chancery-lane was alarmed by the dreadful shrieks of a female, who appeared to be suffering the most excrot:iating pain, apparently from poison. After considerable delay she was conveyed to St. Dunstan's watch-house, where every means were resorted to for her relief, but without effect for a considerable time, when she became compara rively tranquil. She refused to tell who she was ; but having mentioned iu her ravings the name of an individual residing not far off Fleet-street, persons were sent to gain of him what intelligence he could give respecting her. On his arrival at the watch-house, the unfortunate woman in stantly challenged him with having brought her to that state; saying that but for him she should not have been turned from home, and then broke into the most agonis ing mental distress, occasionally cailing on her brother and family, 50d e xclaiming she must never, never return to them. It appears from what was stated by the person, that he has had an acquaintance with her for months; that on Saturday evening last he took her to a house of ill fame ; that she was seen to go with him by some person who knew her ; that on her return home on Sunday, her mother shut the door in her face, and told her to go where she was on Saturday night, since which time she has been wan dering about the streets, when at last, driven to despair by the misery of her condition, she swallowed a quantity of lan danum,and not having eaten any thing for the last two or three days, it had a most opposite effect to what such poison ge nerally has. By the prompt surgical assistance rendered, her stom ac h was relieved of portions of the poison ; th e racking p a i n s he at first was labouring und e r was i n some degre e assuage d ; an d her misery in som e measure ca l me d by the presence of her betrayer, whom she would not suffer from her side for an instant, calling on his name, and ex claiming he could best tell what had driven her to seek destruction. In consequence of her having repeatedly threatened her life, it was thought the safest way to take her to the Compter ; and as the individual whom she charged as her seducer had the greatest influence with her, it was considered necessary he should remain with others in her company till an examination should be had to-slay at the Police-office.

The Duke of Sussex, the Duchess of GLOUCESTER, the Princess AUGUSTA, and the Princess SOPIIIA were assembled at Bushy. A grand dinner was given by the Duke and Duchess of CLARENCE to the Royal visitors and a large party, which was in creased in the conrse of the evening by the arrival of addi tional guests. The company were entertained with an elegant supper, after partaking of which the party broke up. The Duke of CAMBRIDGE came to town to the King's Palace, St. James's.

STATE OF THE 'WEATHER IN FRANCE.- A letter received in this city, dated Paris, Aug. 12, says— " The weather has been extremely bad here for the last six weeks ; and the accounts from all parts of the country say that the corn is entirely lost. What I have seen of it was as rotten as possible ; an immensity of it is lying on the fields, fit only for manure."— Cork Mercantile Chronicle. PUBLIC MEETING IN D ROGH ED A:A splendid meeting took place on Monday at the Parish Chapel of this town. The Catholic Primate, the most Rev. Dr. CURTIS, in the Chair. At a quarter past two o'clock the Primate took the chair amidst the cheers of the assembly. There were a series of Resolutions brought for ward by the most leading inhabitants. Mr. LAWLESS rose to reply to a highly complimentary resolution to him self and his mission, and entered into an able and compre hensive explanation of the nature and the object of his journey. Mr. Lawr.r.ss was ably followed by Mr. FAItRELL, of Drogheda, and Mr. BOYLAN, of Johnstown, near Dro gheda. I have no doubt the collection, which you know is an extra one, and the foundation stone of the edifice Mr. LAWLESS has been commissioned to erect, will be worthy of the town of Drogheda.—Dublin Morning Register. THE THAMES TUNNEL.—We are glad to observe that measures have been adopted in Manchester, Birmingham, and other large towns, to obtain subscrip tions and donations towards the completion of the 'names Tunnel. It is impossible for any one who has seen this grand national undertaking not to feel interested about its success, or to doubt for a moment respecting the possibility of its completion, if adequate funds are provided. It is the subject of almost daily conversation amongst our neigh bours on the Continent, and many of theta have visited London for the express purpose of viewing it. The gene ral opinion, both in France and Germany, is, that when completed, it will be the most extraordinary work iu Europe.--Sheffield Courant. VALUABLE CAPTURE.--«'e understand that a large stun of money, nearly 17,0001., just now (three o'clock), has been recovered by the vigilance of the Sheriffs in this city, which it had been supposed was frau dulently taken from a public establishment in England. The delinquent is pursued, and will ; probably, ere night, lie apprehended.— Cork Afercan'ile Chronicle. On Friday a plain-looking countryman was decoyed by two fellows, under a pretence of selling him some check, into a house, where he wat robbed of his watch. In tle house were several females, one of whom made a grapple at the watch, which roused the poor man to a sense of the situation in which he was placed, and he instantly took a firm hold of the chain. The watch, how ever, was pulled from him ; and on the alarm being given, the whole company were taken into custody, and the watch, after two days' search, was found by that active officer, RODERICK GRANT, concealed among the grass in the Greyfriars' Church-yard.— Caledonian Mercury. On Friday, a tradesman who is subject to epilepsy, fell down in a fit upon the pavement, opposite the Cross, and had his head cut very severely. Some salt (now the usual specific for that complaint), was put into his mouth by one of the female bystanders ; on which, he instantly recovered, and walked to the Police-office to get his wound dressed.—Edinbmgh Evening Courant. WH IMSICAL MISTAKE—On 'Nouday morn ing, an Irish couple presented themselves at the altar of our parish church to he married. When the ceremony had proceeded to the part in which the man takes the woman for Isis wedded wife, and the minister has instructed him to repeat the words " to have and to hold from this day forward," the Irishman turned up his head, and with the utmost gravity and simplicity, exclaimed, " Whst, Ito have her till this day fortnight I" 'Die evident con cern the snan felt at the idea of being kept two weeks longer in suspence, and the amusing nature of the mistake, would have provoked the risibility of any one, and it was with difficulty the minister could attempt to rectify the Islander, and proceed with the ceremony,--Sheffie/d Courant.

The delay of intelligence from the great field of contest—or perhaps we ought to say conquest —in the east of Europe, seems to have enhanced within these few days the anxiety with which its progress and consequences are considered. That the passage of the Balkan must leave it in the choice of Russia to march at her leisure upon the Turkish capital, no military man has ever thought a subject of doubt ; but there are per sons ingenuous enough to hope that the sltrNridecla rations of' the Emperor Nicholas, disclamatory of all wi s h to conquer T ur k ey, are to b e under stood as with 1p Constanti nople at his f eet , h e w ill not stoop to se i ze i t, o imhtaipitalystitniip,gee,r,l:eilpiltrheiezorensotehat with fi consent to Russian relinquish iey n lios , g Nait, of the desi gns o f P r i nces.

The grandmother of Nicholas over whelmed Poland with protestations of disinte rested friendship at the moment when she marched her armies to dismember that ill-fated land. We all recollect the Royal and even in dignant assurances of peace which preceded the two French invasions of the Spanish monarchy. The caths to which liberty in Spain, as wel l as Portugal, has fallen a too easy victim, we have here no desire to insist upon, the forsworn tyrant in both cases being a disgrace to his family and to the Kingly title. But it is no affront to the Government of his Imperial Majesty of Russia to affirm, that the throne of Constantinople would, in the eyes of the Muscovite people, be cheaply purchased by a deception upon Europe, were Europe still silly enough to be deceived. The wisest course, therefore, for foreign nations, is to anticipate, from the loose manner in which the Imperial manifesto has been worded, that it will be construed by the Court which. issued it, so as to admit of every political advantage being seized by Russia which success in arms can procure her. The cap ture of Constantinople, therefore,—and, if Russia be not deterred by dangers more pressing than any that can affect her from the ruined Ottoman force, the permanent occupation of European Turkey,—ought to be among the contingencies reckoned up as probable fnlits of the military operation now in progress. The questions which then arise are these—how far so magnificent an accession to the territorial and maritime resources of Russia might be deemed consistent with the independence of other states which have hitherto held an equal rank with that great empire in the world ;—how far the loss of relative power in such states severally may be consistent with the general safety of Europe, and with the especial prosperity of Great 'Britain herself;—finally, if the apprehended aggrandize ment of Russia be held substantially dangerous to the balance of power and to the British em pire, what ought to be the policy of Great Bri tain? In turning over the pages of a work which we noticed yesterday (that by Colonel Evans), we found a reference to a striking pas sage of our Parliamentary iiistory, during the last reign, with which, as affording a powerful authority corroborative of our own opinions, we were not a little gratified. Mr. Pitt, in urging the policy which he was anxious to prosecute against Russia with regard to Oc zakow, a policy in which, we say not with how much wisdom, the Parliament of that day de clined to support him, is reported to have used these words—" If my opponents answer, let Russia take all her conquests, and drive the Turks out of Europe, we have no interest in it —with those who maintain such a prof: osition, I will net argue." So decided, so deep, was Mr. Pitt's persuasion of the degree to which British:interests must be involved in the quarrel, —the same quarrel, be it observed, which is at this moment agitated—that he disdained to argue the question. But there is a second authority, which collies more home to disputants of the present day, and which is of a nature peculiarly binding on the actual conductors of the military policy of' Great Britain. When some Members of the House of Lords within these few months appeared to under-rate the importance of any po litical changes rendered probable by the warlike preparations of Russia against the Porte, his Grace the Duke of Wellington declared that Turkey was the ancient ally of Great Britain, and the Ottoman Empire could not be made a conquest by Russia with safety to the rest of Europe. So far, then, the ps:inciple to be assumed by England seems undoubted, viz. that European Turkey must not become a part of the Russian Empire. Unquestion ably, we admit that to a Russian patriot no thing can be more irksome and intolerable than that the peaceful commerce of his country, the passage of the Bosphorus, the Marmora, and the Dardanelles, with the entrance to the Mcditer. ranean, all which are necessary to the profitable. . navigation of the Euxin e , s h o uld be kept r antler lock key, l)owr as : i . t were, g ere, r b ea y t a eo b o a l r i b tr s y no l u n lat tstsnia ought not to be called upon to endure s u ch a % . i f ,ea e yla t . t at e in., r e t ew i her ,vaiitih i n tr d he u lir r , s: t oa"ldt Russia the :illsetlufeeleal progress of her civilisation , So far as a n A so _ ho for lute freedom of Russian commerce is concerned, it may be looked upon as the bounden duty, ;end even the selfish policy of France and Eng security ; but that themselves a single nation, to establish with her the Turkish territory, ter ss , s h security ought to be framed upo . n occu eado not 'think that either an y part of it, will acknow produce d A u t e i Austria, f , e Russian in duatt'y, which o c f an sw it e r i i i se t f e r r o r i i r t s or t i h a e l ledg e.
