PO REIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Gazette de France, dated Sept. 2E3. ) JASSY, SEPT. s.—On the 2d of this month four battalions of infantry, belonging to the corps of Prince Sherbatoff, and three pieces of cannon, passed through this city. Yesterday four more battalions passed, which came from Skeluna, and all these troops continued their march at day break to the Danube. Within these few days several companies of artil lery, with 24 pieces of cannon, and three regiments of infantry, commanded by General Juxhkoff, ar rived frOm L essar ile: More troops are expected to morrow, both in our neighbourhood and at Jassy, • where Prince Sherbatoftstill remains. 5i p .,....27.—We have strong reasons for believing that our troops will for some time remain stationary in the Morea, without moving a step or making any hostile demo nstrat i on. Before having recourse to arms, it seems that our Cabinet, in con.' cert with that of London, and probably with that of Vienna, has resolved to try, for the last time, the means of remonstrance and representation to the Sultan. (From the Moniteur.) NAPLES, SEPT. s.—We announced some time . ago that a division of the royal navy had sailed for Tripoli, in order to induce the Bey not to interrupt the state of peace actually existing between the two count ries. This division arrived in sight of Tripoli ; and its Commanders having invited the Bey strictly to ob serve the treaty, several conferences took place, in presence of the Consuls of England and Tuscany ; the result of which was, that the Bey refused every proposal; and the rupture was announced by the embarkation of our Consul, and the removal of the Neapolitan flag from the Consulate. The following day, though a Tripolitan consisting of a brigantine, three schooners, a polacre, four galliots, and eleven gun-boats had'•drawn up in a line along the rocks in front of the Port; though these vessels were protected not only by the old batteries, but by some others lately erected ; though the north-east winds rendered it very difficult for our gun-boats to act, they however commenced a well supported tire at three o'clock in the after noon, which was answered by the batteries and the gun-boats of the enemy. A very high ►wind, with a hollow sea, which con tinued the 24th and 25th, hindered the squadron from continuing its operations on those two days. On the 26th the wind was calm, but not the _ sea, so that the gun-boats could not act; but the bomb vessels continued the bombardment of the town. The fire continued on the 27th and 28th, and our squadron did not cease the attack till the currents, and the damage sustained by the enemy, interrupted the combat. Meantime, as hostilities have commenced with the Regency of Tripoli, sufficient convoys have been appointed to protect vessels under the Royal flag. —.Journal vc Mc Two Sicilies. (From the Journal des Debuts of Saturday.) PARIS, SEPT. 26.--We are in the Morea. Our soldiers are in that land of heroism and of misfortune which an inhuman policy has so long excluded from its rights, and the revolt of which, if it had been properly acknowledged, would have spared those streams of blood which now discolour the Danube. Turkey, now that she is attacked, defends herself to a miracle. What are we to conclude from this That the extermination of Greece was not beyond her strength. We must not, however, forget that during the seven years the war has lasted, Paella alto. Paella has been driven out by famine, and that the Greek fleet has always preserved the superiority in skill, flying before numbers, but rallying as soon as opportunity offered. If this is the state in which those who are adverse to the European Powers in terfering in the quarrel would have us leave Greece, it does but little honour to their humanity, and per haps still lees to their understanding. If it is to be contended that this system is wisely formed, in the indifference which the European cabinets have hitherto shown towards the result of the contest, still there will be the question which shall first wake from the lethargy in which they have so long re mained—a feeling in which the people have long been in advance of the Government of every country. There is not a power in Europe which has not felt that, sooner or later it must take a part in the atlairs of the East. That one which has held out the longest in apparent inaction, has not for a mo ment discontinued its diplomatic part in the war, and to it may be traced much of the delusion of the Divan, as to the bona Ale interference of the other Cabinets. When the deitouenteid of this diplo matic drama arrived, the first scenes of which were rehearsed at the conferences of St. Petersburgh, we applauded the Treaty of the 6th of July in principle. - The clauses of a Treaty may be discussed, but they must not be executed the less. In the religious ob servance of engagements consists the political strength of Governments. After the peremptory refusal of the Porte to agree to the Treaty of Lon don, the Powers that subscribed could no longer hesitate as to what course they had to pursue. It was more or less spontaneous, no doubt, but at the suite time decisive on all sides. France from a feeling of generosity, placed herself in the advance, and we do not feel that we have the courage to blame her. Her Ministers, however, were bound, before they entered the lists, to determine the length to which they would go; though, perhaps, the generous movement that led to the victory of Navarin, may have brought upon them the - charac ter of protectors, through the medium of that of avengers. FRANKFORT, SLPT. 2 - !.—(Private Letter.)—The financial operation which the house of Rothschild has undertaken, is reduced to a simple loan, the conditions of which do not appear even too favour able to the borrower. Accorditer to authentic in- . formation, it appears that the loan has been nego ciated on the following conditions :—The Govern ment is about to issue Metallic Boras at 4 per cent., for 60,000,000 florins. The contractors will receive g them at 80, on condition of payin two-thirds ready money ; and the third in Metallic io „ at 3 per cent., which will be received at par. It is also added, that the contractors have undertake n to retain the new paper for a certain time. Although at Vienna there has been a rise in the Public Funds the Metalliques ange have remai ne d sta tionary on our • • Exch This is attributed to . the scarcity of ready money, which begins to render it self perceptible in our market, since considerable sums have been absorbed for the purpose of being sent into foreign countries.

So great is the competition between the rival Companies who run steam vessels between London and Margate, that the conveyance to Margate yesterday morn ing was gratis, the passengers having nothing to pay but the pier dues. The Prince FREDERICK of Hesse, who is now figuring among the bigots at the court of his friend the usurper 3ltuuEL, is thus described by a popular German tourist, who met hits in Germany :—"Another visiter who adorned rather than enlivened the court circles was the Prince FREDERICK of Hesse, a son of the Grand Duke of flEssE-1).% totsTarT, and a marshal in the French army. embellish e d b y the unitUrin of His tine heroic fig ure, French Marshal, is not finite in harmony with the languid elegance of his conver sation and the gloomy turn of his character.

TUESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 30, 18:28. The Paris Journals contain little fresh:intelli gence from the theatre of war. A letter in the Gazette de France, dated Jassy, states that on the 2d inst. four battalions of Infantry, belonging to the corps of Prince SHERBATOFF, and three pieces of cannon, passed through that city, and continued their march at day-break to the Danube. A day or tw•o will probably bring us important tidings. We received this morning the Austrian Ob server to the 18th inst. from which the follow- ing is an extract : VIENNA, sErr. 17. The Universal Gazette. of Greece of I. August has the following from Egina:—" Last Friday afternoon his Excellency the President arrived here, and inspected the new lazaretto and the school which is intended for tile reception and education of 600 poor children. The Baron de St. Denis, agent of France to . the Greek Government, arrived at Egina on 10th August." The Marquis of Douro and Lord Charles Wellesley ar rived at Vienna, from - Silesia, the day before yesterday. On account of the continued bad weather, and the over flowing of the Schweellat, the exercises of the troops in the camp at Traiskirehen are suspended for the present, and the troops quartered partly in the neighbouring towns and villages, and partly in the suburbs of this city. VIENNA, Serr. 18.—Metalliques, 95 ; Bank Shares, 1,101. The French mail is arrived, and brings Gibraltar Chronicles, which we received of the 11th inst. An official notice has been issued by the Governor, in► the present state of the health of that place, that all places of public worship of every description shall be closed until further notice. The Governor had also issued a notice, stating that cases of lever of a suspicious nature have occurred, and calls upon the inhabitants to aid the prompt measures the Governor has taken to suppress any infectious disease. We learn from privat e letters, that notwith standing the fever is existing, its character is not of amalignant nature. Great complaints are made of . the laxity in the granting permits to a number o f fi_geign brokers on payment of fees, and that the alarm still continues to be great ; a large number o f persons hav e b een sent out of the garrison, on board ships, and on t h e neutral ground, so that the population is much thinned. A letter has been received from St. R oque, dated the Bth instant, which leaves no doubt of the existence of the fever at Gibraltar, states that two children in the family of Mr. MARTIN, in the Secretary's Office, and several privates in the 12th Regime►►t, l►ad already fallen a sacrifice to its malignant virulence. We learn, by Papers from Frankfort, dated tb e 19th inst., that the German Diet adjourned yesterday for several months. The accounts we have received of the negociations of the Commis sioners assembled at' Cassel from the States of central Germany' are satisfactory, and several regulations favourable to commerce are expected to be the result. The Duke of NEWCASTLE'S letter is cer tainly one of the most singular rhapsodies which we ever remember to have read.. It is one con- tinued tissue of intemperance, without even an attempt at reasoning—the weak drivelling of pre judice, with all its violence and passionate con fidence ; and it is only deserving of notice from the rank and consequence of the - writer, and as an index also of the temper which animates that small phalanx, with the Earl of ELDON at its head, who are determined to make a last stand for intolerance. His Grace's creed, political and religious, seems to be comprised in hating and cursing what he calls ". liberalism, neutrality, imd conciliation." He calls it "an accursed ~ h ate f u l s y s tem ;" and hi s ge system"—a neral style is quite in unison with this temperate declaration of his sentiments.— " Wretches, traitors," &c. are the moderate epithets by which he characterises all those who differ. from himself in their political views, Not only are the Catholics denounced as traitors—. " itinerant popish demagogues (he says) are roaming through the country spouting sedition' and treason ;" Mr.. O'CONNELL is " a fellow who years since- deserved to be hanged for his treason ;" but the whole body of Protestant Dissenters are stigmatised as being "actuated by no principle hut a hatred of order." We quote these passages, because they contain a practical definition of his Grace's views, and of what he means by that Protestant Ascendancy for which he so violently contends. His Grace openly condemns the repeal of the Test and Corporation Acts,which extended freedom and equal rights to the Pro-, testant Dissenters ; and his notion is, as fitr as we can expect it from such an effusion of un measured violence,• that the British COnstitution and the Protestant religion cannot exist in their purity, unless every one who conscientiously dif fers from the rites and ceremonies of the Church of England be excluded from all offices of ho nour and emolument. This is the foundation on which this hereditary legislator would place the pure reformed faith ; namely, a monopoly for the genuine state Protestants of wealth and honour. Those who would not conform to the standard of faith prescribed by the Government, he would rigidly proscribe from the public service. He would impose this penalty on them for no other reason but because of their religious creed ; be cause, adhering conscientiously to their own mode of faith, they refuse to conform to that adopted by the Church of England. This is what his Grace calls Protestant Ascendancy— this monopoly of lucrative offices for the true adherents of the Church he deems the essence of religion. When the Government excludes Dis senters from all the good fat places in its gift, then the Protestant religion flourishes ; this, ac cording to his Grace, is serving GOD ; but when we relax the penal laws against Dissenters, and allow them a fair participation in those lucrative places, this, he says, is serving Mammon ! But lest we should he accused of mis representing him, we shall give his own words, first premising that the whole Ties- tion is whether the Catholics and Protestant Dissenters shall be admitted to fill civil and mi- itary offices. The. Protestants were admitted to ;his privilege by the Act of last Session, and the Catholics claim the same right. On this question his Grace says, " We must now decide whether we shall range ourselves with Pro testants or Papists ; • whether we will serve GoD or Mammon ;" meaning clearly, that in giving up the monopoly of lucrative offices we are serving Mammon ; and this is the whole mat ter about v hich such a dismal outcry is raised by a small party, the obstinate enemies of civil and religious freedom. The last Session, we are told, was stained by " liberalising religion," and this, which was merely the removing of the disqualifications which excluded Dissenters from public offices, he calls a " stab to the Esta blished Church." His Grace thus very fairly lays open his religious creed. He explains what be means by the Protestant religion. His pure orthodox faith consists in engrossing for himself and his friends all the good things of the State. This is what he calls Protestant Ascendancy, but which we call tyranny and persecution ; and be cause this is partly done away, and is expected to be wholly done away, he sets up the old out cry that the Church and the Constitution is in danger. He sees the British Constitution only in its defects. He seems to imagine that it is essentially comprised in the disqualification and proscription of large classes of citizens; and because it is proposed to admit the Irish Catho lics to equal privileges with their Protestant fel low-subjects, he is, or affects to be, in a most violent alarm for the Constitution and for reli gion ; and he will have the Popish Association, as he calls it, instantly annihilated ; the voice of treason, by which he means all that is contrary to his tyrannical and persecuting creed, instantly stifled ; all Popish establishments abolished ; no Roman Catholic to vote at any election ; and, finally, a f u ll and undisputed Protestant ascend ancy establish e d ; b y which he means that all who differ from the:Church of England creed .shall be under the penalty of proscription and disqualification, while the true converts to that orthodox faith shall be rewarded with the posses sion of lucrative posts. On the whole, his Grace's letter seems a production of which the folly is an antidote - la the malignity. It is the mere raving of a fanatical partisan, vainly holding by long-exploded prejudice, preaching up the doctrine of tyranny and persecution, 'poorly dis . - guised under a certain puritanical cant and af fected zeal for religion. His Grace ought to know that such pious frauds are not to be passed off in the present generation. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY, FROM LLOYD'S.

A calm seems to have succeeded the storm of yesterday in the English Funds, which were sold, at the close of business, at 86; this morning they opened at 86i but such was the uncertainty of the market for the first half-hour that it was diffi cult to get at the precise price; the market, how ever, shortly took a favourable turn, and they ad vanced to 864, buyers, but chewed weakness upon a sale or two, and went 86 but are now the former price, 864 I ; the Commissioners gave 86i ; upon the whole there is an appearance of languour in the market, indicating a fear of entering into speculations of importance for the present. India Bonds and Exchequer Bills are both lower, the former being 90 3, the latter 70 3 pm. This is settling day in the Foreign Funds, and consequently the arrangements of account occupy the chief attention of the Brokers ; Brazilian Bonds are rather higher, 651; the other Foreign Securities hilve not fluctuated.

Mr. JESSE, solicitor, stated, that hearing a great noise as he was sitting in his-office, Essex-street, he looked out of the dBndow, and saw the prisoner, who lived on the opposite side, knock his wife down, and then jump upon her. The unfortunate woman not being able to appear against him he was remanded. She lingered until Sunday last, when she expired, and on an inquiry before the Coroner on Monday, a verdict of " Manslaughter" was returned, and PARKER• was com mitted for trial.—Manchester Gazette. " - IRISH SUPERSTITION.—At Newry Petty Sessions, a countryman applied for redress against a party who had stolen his ducks and assaulted him. He stated, that having heard that a woman and her son PAT, who were in Court, had stolen a couple of his ducks, he went to their house and saw his ducks, after being killed ; but instead of giving him any satisfaction, the son followed him out and thrashed him. " And pray," said the Ma gistrates, " what were you doing—you are a stronger man than he is?" " Yes, place your Honours," replied OwEN MAGENNIS, the complainant, " I am a stronger man, but I was feart of him, becase I was standing on unlucky ground." A Magistrate asked why he called it unlucky ground. " Becase," said OWEN, " Paddy's grandfather killed his uncle, and they are all a bad crew together."— The Magistrates were satisfied with the explanation, and held the parties to bail, and OwEt; left the Court praying fin• long life, and all the blessings of Heaven to their Ho nours for taking his part. Large fruit has proved, as was auticipated, a very indifferent crop this season, as to quantity, and the want of sunshine during the period of ripening has in general had injurious effects on its quality. The sea sons of 1826 and 1827 were unusually prolific, and experience has shewn that two successive favourable years exhaust the treei, and nature seems to demand the ful-, lowing ene to recruit. Indifferent as the crop has proved, however, it still exceeds the demand in this quarter, and cart loads of apples and pears are daily despatched to Dundee, and almost as frequently to Edin • burgh, from the Carse of Gowrie and this immediate neighbourhood. Of apples, the common early sorts, the Lemon, Leadington, and early Codling, sell at from 2s. 6d. to 4s. a peck of 28 imperial lbs. ; the tine winter varieties are remarkably scares; the Winter Redstreak, Rennets, and Pearmain, bring 6•. a peck, and Ripston Pippins can not be had under 7s. Pears, particularly the late kinds, are also scarce ; Black Auchans will fetch Bs. a peck— theearlier sorts are selling at from ss. to 6s. —Perth Corn•. A HERMlT.—Soine , Alere in the township of Godmanchester there lives an old Dutchman, who, with out any stretching of the word, may be called a her mit. When he first came to reside there, the place was as wild and lonely as any man-hater could desire ; foxes, bears, squirrels, pigeons, and bluebirds, were for years his only visitors ; and the solitary poured the affections of his heart upon pigs, -hens, ducks, and ducklings, which formed the whole of his companionship. He built a log-house for hi s (lseelli ng —it is a rude . piece of arehiteeture—it has neither door nor window, if we may except a hole through which Mynheer has his entrance and hie exit. The furniture of the mansion is as simple and rude as can well be conceived—there are sonic planks laid in sundry positions, which serve as chairs—a pot, a platter, and a spoon. His bed rather resembles a canoe than a place for sleep—being the trunk of a tree, hollowed out, just large enough to held him. In winter, he places this bed or canoe upon its side, with its face to the fire, and there he enjoys his repose. His clothing is somewhat like that of ROBINSON Censor, being composed of the skins of such animals as he may chasm to kill. His only employ ment is in the cultivation of a few roods of ground, on which he rears corn and potatoes for the benefit of his " live stock." With them he enters into conversation— asks them questions, and furnishes them with answers.— His diet is spare—potatoes, onions, and ever and anon chicken. His beard is redolent of " days before the flood." Of late, be feels rather uncomfintable at the in roads which mankind are making upon the woods that en circled biro. For many years there were about 20 miles of untouched forest on each side of him, upon which axe and ploughshare have been making fearful changes. Human habitations and human industry are now within four miles of his hermitage. A friend of our own even presumes so far as to pay the hermit a visit. The old man always re ceives him with politeness ; but his visitations, though " few, and far between," give evident umbrage to the do meaticated pigs and poultry—they are as fond of loneline sa as their owner, and the appearance of a stranger creates a cackling of no dubious import. Once or twice of late the hermit has left his wilderness, and with praiseworthy loyalty joined the militia ranks at parade, and he stands at the head of the corps to which he belongs with evident zeal for the service of his most excellent MAJESTY. He is a harmless good old man—what was the cause of his forsaking the " busy world" we cannot tell.-2lfontreal Herald.
