FRENCH EXPEDITION TO THE MOREA, AND THE WAR IN THE EAST; (From the Jourtmt de commerce.) The last discussions in Parliament prove the de gree of imbecility to which the Ettglish Government has sunk, since it has fallen into the hands of a Tory Ministry. That which constituted the power of Canning, has caused to the Duke of Wellington and his friends embarrassment, alarm, and perhaps min. The policy of. the great Statesman whom Eneaed has lost, rested on this simple and just idea—to avail hi•lself of all the moral power whleh absolute governments had neglected, or turned against them- By that means he acquired an immense 'popularity, not only in his own country, but in the remainder of Europe, and in all the civilized world. He composed his power out of those elements of which disturbances and insurrections are formed in other countries. His device of civil and religious liberty rallied around him every body and every thing which was not connected with political and sacerdotal privileges. Thus he raised England to he the first amongst nations. What power shall undertake the management of the affairs of Western 'Europe ? Is it Austria ? Is it France, still uncertain of the career in which she is to run, between two opposite directtons ? A career is now open before her worthy, of her ancient greatness; but she most enMt upon it with a full assurance of the ass At and concurrence of the people of surrounding - nations. The example of Can ning was give:it to the world as a temptation to the ambition of 'noble spirits. - Will our Government think of executing a plan so large in its conception, of wh ic h the wisdom is already proved by its bril lien:: success ? We are ignorant, and we wish to irk:pain ignorant, whether any narrow view of policy fs mixed with the resolution taken by our Ministers to achieve the liberation of Greece, and to secure its independence. The enterprise is announced with appearances in its favour. Of the three Powers who signed the Treaty of the 6th of July, one de serts the cause which he had embiaced, and another has lost, in adhering to it the merit of disinterested ness. France, then, is the only power which takes upon itself the literal execution of the Treaty. It is to Prance, alone, that the gratitude of the Greeks, Trd the approbation of the people whom A profound 'sympathy allies to that noble and unhappy nation, will be due. That glory, shoelci it even be without profit, will not leave us without some recompense' for the sacrifices which it will cost us. If wes, may give credit to the reports which are bruited abroad, T.his expedition, undertaken originally in concert with the other Powers, will secure to us important advantages. France will preserve the title of Pro tector of Greece, just as England does that of Pro. Lector of the lonian Isles. We are informed that M. de Ferronays, whose departure in a short time for Carlsbad we had before mentioned, will be charged with the duty of fixing the conditions of the freety to that effect. We have no occasion to call attention to the ins portanee of the position in which France will find herself placed as mediatrix between so great a number of ambitious rivals, watching at once Turkey, Russia, and Austria. To sustain such a part, her forces would, without doubt, be insufficient, if she could only reckon on the army which she employs in the expedition, and on her marine. Every thing will depend on the conduct of the Go vernment. Her first care will be to preserve the affection of the people confided to her tutelage,—an affection to which the French have already so many titles. It must commit great faults to undo the works of our Phil-hellenes, and especially of Fabvier. That brave officer, who, it is said, is attached to the expedition, with the rank .of Marcchal de Camp, adds to France the immense influence which he. derives from the gratitude of the Greeks. The Ministry which receives such assistance from soldier of liberty will discover, without doubt, that it is upon liberty that it ought to rest its strength. How many auxiliaries will it find, if it wishes to employ them, in Italy, in Germany, in Spain, in Portugal—we say not a word of France 2" (From the Courier Francais.) The expedition to the Morea is the news of the day. A Ministerial journal informs us this morning, that Russia has demanded our assistance to obtain the evacuation of the Mores, and that England is to second our efforts with its navy. That is to say, England will only look on. The army, it is said, will land at Napoli di Ro mania. We shall perhaps hare to lay siege to two ur three places, which, being' strictly blockaded by sea, will not hold out long. The most serious obsta des will be found in the nature of the country. The plain of Napoli di Romania is insalubrious, and the country offers us no resources. In Spain, we could buy upon the spot the articles necessary to the sub sistance of the army. We could procure wood, pro visions, and hospital stores. In the Morea there is nothing of the kind. Every thing that the army may require must be transported to it by sea, and it is well known how expensive transports in general are. Some time ago several regiments were cantoned in the neighbourhood of Toulon. The project of ttle expedition was then given up, and these regi ments were scattered over various parts of the coun try. They must now be made to return to the places in which they were first collected together. This is an expence which might have been spared. No commission has yet been issued from the office of the Secretary at war. Thousands of offers of service are addressed every day to that Minister, and to the Commander of the expedition, by Officers who eagerly seek the honour of forming a part of it. The embarkation of the troops is fixed for the ?sth of August. The vessels will sail with the troops assembled at Toulon. They will not wait for the 3,000 men who are expected from Cadiz.-- Thus the troops who are to embark by the middle of next month, are not reckoned at more than 7,000 or 8,000 men. The rest will join them afterwards. A reserve of 6,000 men is, it is said, to be formed at Toulon, to reinforce, in case of emergency, the expe dition. (From the Journal des Debuts.) PARIS, JULY 29.--The necessity of defending our -seNes obliged us to conquer. Victory conducted 'us to the top of the Alps and the left bank of the Rhine, the strongest barriers to resist our enemies, and the natural limits of France. This position had 'nothing threatening for Europe, our security assu red its safety. The first campaigns of Germany and Italy were only the combinations of a defensive system, which carried war into the enemies' country to save our own. The desire of conquest did not beget th e e xpedition to Egypt, it arose from t h e re ciprocal interests of two rivals. The conqueror of Italy would not bend the knee before the Directory, t 1 the Directory could not bear the presence of a victorious General, who, from the beginning of his ..areer, placed himself on a level with Hannibal and Cesar. The weakness of the Directory having pro duced disasters which compelled us to repass the Rhine, and cost us Italy, chance, or his ambition, brought back from the banks of the Nile the man who excited the imaginations and the hopes of all parties, and to him the power was confided ; or rather, he seized on it with boldness and ambition which urged him on to dominioh. The battle of Marengo made him again master of Italy, and that of Hohenlinden terrified Germany; the Treaties of Luneville and Amiens caused the whole of Europe to recognize a Government which by repressing all parties by a wisely planned Admi nistration, and by a code adapted to our manners and our wants, had raised France from its ruins, and re stored confidence at home and abroad. The Cabi net of Saint James's would not give up Malta, an d it tore in pieces the concessions that were only a momentary concession to public opinion. A new coalition arose; the battles of Ulin and Austerlitz placed the Austrian Monarchy at the mercy of Napo leon, and drove the Russians back to their snows. So marry triumphs intoxicated this powerful genius who felt himself able to conquer every thing; he no longer placed any bound to his ambition. Moscow was the !hit to his prosperity; hunger and cold de- Istrcietl the army which had dictated laws to many hations. Forced back on Germany, then on France,• and not finding, after useless prodigies of valour and talents, in the nation he had deprived of liberty and exhausted the resources ) the devotion Whinh, had dissipated the lirst noalitien, he fell j but; like the hero of Carthage, • equally great in his nlisfbttunes and his trirtnpils At the hekintling of the war Russia stood with regard to France in the position France now occupies with regard to Russia. The French Revolution had attracted the attention of the Cabinet of St. Pe tersburgh, and it acceded to a Treaty, and towards 1799, Suwaroff appeared in Italy, Kotiakoff in Switzerland, and a division in Holland the valleys of Aikmaer and Zurich saw them defeated. Since the time of Charles XII: this Power has tended, by the weight of its ambition, to the east and west of Europe, and towards the Caspian Sea. Front Smolensk and Kiou, its frontiers have 'extended to a few leagues from the Odell frbm Azoff, they have gone to the Pruth anti to the Phasis. She has crossed the Araias, and is at the foot of Azarath.— She is now marching on the Bosphorus, and the titan of the campaign reminds us of the vast combi nations and gigantic schemes of Napoleon. She has given many tr anqu illi z i ng assurances to E urope . A re 'there no dangers ? A few years ago they proceeded from the b an k s o f t h e Seine, and. whence do they now come, if not from the banks of the Neva ? Europe disguises its ftars, and hypocrisy is Rot the least of its dangers. Russia, however, has many difficulties to surmount, and her first steps appeared feeble and hesitating. Marching fkom the Danube to Constantinople, the Russian army chases before it all the Turkish population; the Bulgarians re main in the villages and towns. The Turkish Ma homednn population of Europe is only firmly este -I.lished in Bosnia, Albania, and in a part of Mace donia. In proceeding to Constantinople the Rus sian army leaves this hospitable population on its right flank; it mast cause them to be kept in check by a nurnerous corps, and this necessity explains the value she sets on our expedition to the Morea, which will be a favourable diversion, and facilitate offensive operations. The Turks will deftnd with courage Constanti nople, protected= it is by its harbour and the sea on two sidcrN and by strong fortifications on the side wlvitk forms its triangle; but Pera is without de fence, and on Pera depends the safety of the har bour, and the maintenance of a position which com mands a part of Constantinople. Will the Turks ' have time and foresight enough to construct lines proper frt the dafence of Pera r It is more than permitted us to doubt on the subject. They will have scarcely any other ramparts on that point than the Turkish inhabitants of Bulgaria and Thrace, who, collected on the Bosphorus, will render victory bloody, if not doubtful. The Russians will make themselves masters of the right bank of the Darda nelles, and of the Bosphorus, up to Pera; they %rill thus secure the union of their squadrons of the Black Sea and of the Archipelago, in the Propontis, before Constantinople. They must, however, expect an obstinate struggle at the fortresses of the Bosphorus, which, although weak on the land side, still offer sonic mewls of resistance. The army of General Paskewitsch will have still more serious difficulties to surmount. On quitting Armenia, it will meet .with nothing but ferocious Mussulmans, under the excitation of re li g i ous en thusiasm, who, at each step of its progress, will harass its rear and left flank, will menace its line of operations, and will render its subsistence uncertain and difficult. If the plague and sickness should aggravate the embarrassment belonging to the position of the two armies—if any of those fortuitous events, those un happy chances so frequent in war, should surprise then), they will find in summer, in the Mahometan States, what we met in winter at Krasnoi, at Bare s►na, at "%Vilna, and at Kowno,--destruction and death, Summer has its scourge as well as winter. Surely the French army was nut inferior, either in courage or in numbers, or in glorious recollections, to the army of the Emperor Nicholas, and moreover it was commanded by Napoleon. No enemy ought to be despised, so narrow if;" the distance between victory and defeat. Who knows whether Europe may not wake again at the sound of a new catas trophe, that may dissipate its alarms But if every thing should smile upon the pro jects of the young Emperor, who is advancing with a bold step on the road marked out by the genius of Catherine, we must not conceal from ourselves the truth,—the independence of Europe is more than compromised. Mistress of Asia Minor and of Euro pean Turkey, Russia would become the mistress of our destinies. The policy of France is of an exalted nature. Greece, emancipated and independent, deprives Russia of all pretext of continuing its operations. If generous ideas have caused the Emperor Nicholas to take up arms—if the emancipation of the professors of the same religion as himself be the noble aim of his exertions, he will unite with us in the formation of an independent state, which, comprehending all European Turkey, will put an end to the scandal occasioned by partitions—those perpetual occasions of re-kindling wars,—and will secure to his com merce the free passage of the Bosphorus and the Dardanelles, of which the possession and the defence would be entrusted to a friendly people, which would long have occasion for his support and pro tection. France seeks no advantages, no compensations, either in the possession of the Peloponnesus, or in the possession of Egypt. She wants no portion of either. If the balance of relative power be broken, she can only find around her, in frontiers more clearly traced, means of defending and preserving her independence. We are convinced that no am bitious views distract the Cabinet of the Tuileries ; that noble and exalted sentiments, in sympathy with the resurrection and independence of Greece, have alone determined it to take part in the political and military events which must spring out of the war in the East. Austria is alarmed, and conceals her intentions in her usual ambiguity and obscurity. England watches and waits. , . . During Sir ROBERT WALPOLE'S Adminis tration, a troop of French players had been brought over, but the audience and populace would not suffer them to perform. Another company came over in 1'730, but with no better success. Several young men of quality had drawn their swords in the riot, endeavouring to support them ; Lord TRENTHAM'S being present bad been exag. gerated into his being their chief protector. French players had been no uncommon spectacle in England. The founda tion of the late animosity against them was this : the op position to the Court had proceeded so far as to be on the point of ridiculing the KING publicly on the stage of the Little Theatre in the Haymarket, in a dramatic satire called the " Golden Rump," written by HENRY FIELD ING. Sir R. WALPOLE, having intelligence of this design, got the piece into his hands, and then procured the Act to be passed for regulating the stage, by which all theatres Were suppress e d but such as should be licensed by the Loan CHAMBERLAIN. This provoked the people so touch, that the French company having a lic e n ce gran t e d soon a f ter, when several English companies were cashiered, it was made a party point to silence foreign perfurrners.—Lord Orfords Afentoirs. PSHOT f am il y, the most an rts In the parish of Thorpe , between Cheey and Egham, resides t he W A cient, perhaps, i n Europe, though by no means th e most While the revolutions in human conspicuous.affairs have elevated some, and :sunk others in obscurity, through all the vicissitudes of this life, the peaceful family of W A r_ SHOT has continued to cultivate the same spot of earth, from generation to generation, ever since the reign of Ki ng ALFRED, by whom the farm in which they live was granted to REGINALD WArstror, their ancestor. This family never experienced any elevation, and its humility is such as to have exempted it from danger or depression. The storms which swept away such multitudes during the contests of YORK and LANCASTER, passed harmless over their obscure dwelling. The Saxon, Danish, or Norman conquests affected them not ; and every King, from ALFRED to GEORGE IV, inclusive, might see the same space of a few acres freely yielding its produce to the labo rioushands of a WAPSHOT. LONDON. FRIDAY EVENING, AUGUST 1, 1828. By the French Papers, which arrived this morning, we are informed that it is not at Lay bach that the Congress is to meet, but at Hirsch bade, in the kingdom of Wurtemburg. We much question whether a Congress will meet at all. The day of humbug and Congresses is gene by, or deserves to be, for the Congress of Ve rona and that of Laybach have added little to the character, and still less to the power and glory of England. It is the curse of this coun try that she loses in negotiation whatever she had achieved by arms. Our Ambassadors and Negociators are for the most part looked upon by foreigners as mere pigeons whom they are justified in plucking without scruple, and cer tainly without mercy. Yet JOHN BULL, is so magnanimous, that he would rather be plucked himself than pluck his neighbour, and that is just what his Allies want, while they laugh in their sleeve at his noble generosity. The Em peror NICHOLAS boasts, that with the exception of Persia, England is the best Ally he ever bad. Frankfort Papers of the 27th July have been received this morning. They state that accord ing to accounts from the interior of the Turkish provinces, the fortresses are most amply provided with necessaries of all kinds, and with every re quisite means of defence. Relying on the cor rectness of these assertions, they say that the Russians have yet their work to do—that the march to Constantinople is not yet completed, although the passage of the Danube has been effected, &c. The following are extracts:— HERMANSTADT, JULY 7. The accounts from the interior of the Turkish Provinces are unanimous in stating that the fortresses are most amply provided with necessaries of all kinds, and with every re quisite means of defence. Those persons are therefore very likely to be mistaken who think that the task of the Russians is completed by the passage of the Danube, that the march to Constantinople will be attended with no diffi culties, and that the war is in truth as good as ended.— Though no great doubts can he entertained respecting the fate of the Turkish force assembled to defend the Balkan, as it is no match either in skill or number for the Russian Armies, the sieges to he formed will require very great efforts. The very considerable loss of men which the Rus sians experienced in the attempt to storm Brailow is a con firmation of this assertion. We know that the Russian valour there met with the most desperate resistance, and that the surrender of the place was purchased by a vast slaughter. Against the plague, which has indeed began to chew itself in some placer, the promptest and most efficacious measurer have been adopted by the Russian authorities, and there is every reason to hope that it will he prevented from spreading. NAPLES, JULY 5. A band of robbers, which was joined by some indivi duals who formerly belonged to the sect of the Carbonari, had committed all kinds of excesses at the end of last month at Palinuro, a small port in the province of Salerno, where they spread terror among the peaceable inhabitants. Their unlawful proceedings were, however, of short duration. On the approach of the Royal troops, who were inane diately, ordered to the spot, these banditti took flight ; the ringleaders fled into the mountain, whither they were pur sued ; the others endeavoured to escape to their own homes. Na doubt is entertained that all these criminals will, in a few days, he in the hands of justice. Brussels Papers of the 30th July have been received this morning. It was reported at gem• lin on the 13th July, that the Cabinet of Vienna had sent to the Russian Cabinet a declaration of the policy which Austria means to pursue with respect to the war in Turkey. Emissaries arc said to have been sent from Bucharest to Ilermanstadt, to induce the Boyards to return to the Principalities, but they refuse to do this till peace • is restored be tween Russia and the PORTE. This resolu- tion of the Boyards is ascribed to foreign in fluence. There is a very active correspondence kept up between the head-quarters of the Aus trian army and Vienna. The troops are con stantly exercised, and often reviewed. What gives additional countenance to this news is the fact, that Austria is levying, in Italy and Hun gary, a force of from 50,000 to 60,000 men. The Allgemeine Zeitung, of the 24th July, states on the authority of an article from Herman stadt, that the real plague has actually broken out at Bucharest, and continues to spread, not withstanding the exertions of the Russian autho rities to arrest its progress. The Servians are in :arms, and every thing in that quarter and Bosnia betokens events of moment : lIERMANSTADT, JULY 9. The plague that has broken out at Bucharest and the vi cinity (and it seems indisputable that it is the real plague), is reported in the latest accounts to make an alarming pro gress, and the exertions of the Russian authorities have not yet succeeded in checking it. On the side of Little Wal lachia the quarantine is now fully organized, and the term is axed for travellers at ten days, and for cattle and goods at 18 days. We mentioned in a former letter that the sanguine hopes of many who expected a speedy termi nation of the affairs of the East would probably not be realised ; on the contrary, the question becomes more intricate every day, and the war is gradually spreading to all the provinces of the Turkish empire. The hope•, too, that were entertained of the tranquillity of Servia have vanished. We heard a great deal of the endeavours of the Russians to repress popular tumults. If there was any foundation for these assertions, the result proves that their exertions have been in vain. Abdurahman Bey is ad vancing with the troops of Bosnia, to force a passage through the country ; and Prince Milosch ,is new in such a situation, that he must take part in the business. The struggle which is here preparing, may form an episode in the history of this war, which, inde pendently of the operations of the Russians, may soon as sume a popular character. The Christian Servians and the Mahometan Bosnians are two of the most warlike por tions of the Turkish population ; and if they come into collision, the scenes which took place under Czerny George may be renewed. We may therefore look for events which, if not of so long duration as the Greek insurrection, will not be concluded in a few weeks. ♦IENNA, JULY 19. Metalliques, 93 1-16. Bank Shares, 1,0661. It ig stated in letters from Malta of the 18th June that Count CAPO D'IsTRIA has remitted to the Banker of the Emperor of RUSSIA, re siding at Valetta, one million and a half of Rubles. If this be true it looks very odd. We should have rather thought that the President of Greece was more in want of money than in a situation to give it away. But it should be re collected that Count CAro is a Russian, at least at heart, and that his game is to play into the hands of his Imperial Master, whose en larged policy is daily developing itself as a singular commentary upon his professions of mc)deration, and his rather ambitious mode of putting them in practice. We should not be surprised to learn that the illustrious President of Greece has taken a lesson from the patriot Chiefs whom he superseded in the Go vernment, and acting upon the knowledge acquired, is feathering his own nest as quick as possible, before the enthusiasm of the monied friends of Greece subside. The arrival of the French army too would be rather awkward for the President's " incupation”—as the French might be tempted to have a President of their own—and by the right of conquest they would be justified in doing so. Count CAro D'ISTRIA shows so►ne foresight in taking care , of his money,—which perhaps saves the poor Greeks the trouble. We shall have strange scenes in the East shortly. An article, dated Berlin, of the 20th July, SityS:••••••-" We are informed from Odessa, that about the middle of June, Gen. PASKEWITSCH passed the Turkish frontiers on the side of Er zeruin, without encountering any , serious resist ance from the Turks." He will march along the coast of the Black Sea with all despatch, in order to cut off' the retreat of the Turks from Constantinople. Letters have been received from China, as serting that the rebels who were reported so often to have been annihilated, had given the Im perial Army a total and most disastrous defeat. According to accounts from Toulon of the 22d July, the greatest exertion was made to equip the illajcstueux, a three decker, a frigate, and other vessels of war. What will the Duke of WELLINGTON say to this ?—Our neighbours, the French, seem to be taking a lesson from the moderation of NICHOLAS ; but they are at least sincere—they say, France is on the eve of great events, and is resolved to be prepared. The Stuabian Mercury of the 24th of July contains a singular paragraph, evincing the laud able desire of the late Grand Duke of SAXE WEIMAR to have his memory transmitted to posterity in good company. He requested that the mortal remains of SCHILLER should be i;t terred on his left hand, while the place on his right is reserved for those of Goethe. This is a noble homage to genius—a reverence for which is far more general in Germany, and indeed throughout the Continent, than in England, the favoured land of Freedom and the Muses. But the Grand Duke has done wisely : the association of his name with those of SCHILLER 111 d GOETHE will more surely float it down the stream of eternity than if he had gained a feverish immortality as the conqueror and destroyer of surrounding nations. The glory of most heroes will hardly outlive the rust on their swords, w hereas the fame of the true Poet endureth for ever : WEIMAR, JULY lb. In addition to what we have already said of the in terment of the Grand Dake of Saxe Weimar, in the vault of the Chapel of the family, it is worth men tioning, that according to his own desire, the mor tal remains of Schiller, are placed en his left hand, and that the place en his right is reserved for those of Goethe, so that he will repose between the two great literary ornaments of his Court, and of the German nation, whom he honoured not merely with his protection but his friendship. ZURICH, JULY 19. The Fifth Sitting of the Diet was chiefly occupied with the question of the unfortunate clans of individuals who have ao legal settlement in any of the Cantons, and are therefore called the Hcimathlosen (homeless.) It does no t appear, however, that any thing satisfactory has been done since last Session. In the 6th Sitting, the Diet discussed the subject of a Plan for a new penal Code for the Regiments in the French service. Disapprobation was expressed at the too severe punishments, especially for transgressions against discipline, the retaining or the punishment of the bastinade, and the extensive ill defined powers of the grand Judge. The Diet appointed , a Committee, which in concert with the author of the new plan, Lieutenant-Colonel Koch, of Berne, is to collect, arrange, and ex a mine the instructions Of the Cantons, and to make a report to the Diet. Accounts from Savoy state that 2,000 men are busily occupied on the fortifications of Bra mant. They are also repairing and fortifying the other forts. It is generally reported in Piedmont, that the French Ambassador has dectired, that the first battalion which enters into that country (from Austria ?) will be the signal for a French army to march into Savoy. Letters from Alexandria of the 24th June state, that the Russian flag is still flying in that harbour, and that the Russian Consul has no idea of leaving. Even the capture of Constan tinople will not, it is said, change the situation of affairs there. Nothing had been done with regard to the blockade. According to a letter from Moahnein, it is said that the finest timber was selling almost for nothing, in order that the amount of the instal ments due might be paid according to the treaty. This shows good faith, at least, on the part of the Burmese. Every thing was tranquil. Bombay Papers have been received to the 18th of February, but they contain no news of the slightest interest. They write from Marseilles of the 21st July, it is now three days since we have had any com munication with Nice. The King of SARDI NIA has established a Cordon Sanitaire the whole length of the Var, preventing all persons coming from France into his Country. We do not know the cause of this measure, as no epidemic disease prevails in our country. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.) FAOM LLOYD'S.

The reports which caused the above fall in the market were numerous, such as seven sail of the line going to the Mediterranean ; a squadron also for Teneriffe; the French Loan going to be increased to 12 millions instead of four millions; Mr. Peel and the King had a quarrel ; a Spanish army going to enter Portugal. Letters have been received with the French Funds leaving off prices of Tuesday at 71f. 70c. This is owing to its being settling day at Paris ; and a Bull account.

Rose, Nei. with being either principal or accessary to the abduction of ar. boa-coat from the coach of the afore Said M r . Rose. The Complainant, after sundry wry faces, inti mated that he was last night waiting for his master's party at the English Opera House, when the defendant very civilly asked him if he did not want something to drink. Witness certainly at that time felt an inclination to moisten his clay, and on the other offering to hold his horses, and still more to be answerable for the property to the amount of a hundred pounds, he wery willingly availed himself of his politeness. Edmonds, who had been fidgetty for some time, here in terrupted, with " Now I only offered to be answerable for fifty." Sir R.BIRNIE observed, that "fifty" seemed a round sum fer a man whose clothes seemed worth less than that number of farthings. Edmonds, however, looked quite of a different% opinion, and exclaimed, " I beg your pardon, yeut Won , ship ; I am a very independent man; and though you nmy like your sitivation, I like mine, and like to earn .an honest penny and hamuse myself as you do. .I pays sixty a year rent, and thirty taxes. Sir 81CH.% itn smiled at the comparison, and the coach man resumed his tale.—He had hardly got a pint of porter to his lips, when Edmonds called out, in a solemn tone--... " Hollos, coachman, your coat's movie off." Witness, however, being unwilling to leave the porter, and think , ing that the cad was larking him, finished his draught, and found that his coat had moved off in good earnest.— The cad, of course, saw only the coat, and could s& leave the house to look after the thief, as be area afraid they would also be " movin off." The cock man called in the aid of Mr. Thomas, who assisted the wery independent man" to the watch-house. Mr. T. now hinted that Edmonds knew the thief. The latter, however, could not be made conscious of such knowledge, but by way, we suppose, of making sonic amends to the coachman, he promised never to earn an honest penny near the English Opera House again. After some vain efforts to find out the thief Edwards learned with great satisfaction that he might move off too. ASSIZES.-(RECEIVED THIS DAY.) AIIOL AND CIRCUIT.-LINCOLN, JuLY 30. ALCOCK V.

Morning —AO minutes after 6. Evening—. 6 minutes after 6 n Etc AGRICULTURAL REPORT FOR JULY. The state of the weather and the crops, previously to the late destructive hurricanes, had partaken of that varidge character which has distinguished the spring and summer t of the current year, though not to any great or hurtful ex treme. Hope was still left of somewhat perhaps berme( the usual average of crops. But, oh !' for the vanity of human wishes—or rather the folly of placing a dependance on the most uncertain of all uncertainties, that which itself depends upon wind and weather. Perhaps we may no longer dream of an average of corn crops. In early districts, and among early and sedtdetta hay-- makers, that harvest, a most ample one, has been snecets ful. Its finale will he of a different character, and not to the credit of some, who, it is averred, are in the unthrifel habit of employing too few hands. The tares, it is said, so luxuriant and covered with blossom, from late unfa vourable causes, will not he productive of seed. On dry and good lands, the wheats blossomed sufficiently tarty,. and were affected by no chills or atmospheric changes, buq. by too much moisture, and by the rain penetrating and lodg ing within the flower, which necessarily has an unfavourable effect on the maturing grain. A cold and blighting tem perature, accompanying the rains at this critical period, would have ruined the crop. The frequent gales of wind, however, did much mischief to the bloom, and beat down much of the corn. Of the rye, barley, and oats, there is I , no novelty of report ; in general, the corn has not eared sa fully to size and weight as was too sanguinely expected, but promises to be so productive of straw as to constitute the present a great fodder, as well as grass and hay year. Its some parts the beans have suffered so much, from both the slugs and the rooks, that considerable breadths have beets mown for cattle. The fly also has been too free with the peas; both those crops, are, nevertheless, of good pro mise. The turnips, mangtl, and potatoes, flourish at the head of our crops. The present season has served to sec- I tify the popular error that mangel wurael is irspenetrabk: to the attacks of the blight fly, since some small part of the crop has suffered considerably from that cause. On live stock little is required to be said, but that that-c -is great plenty in the country, with a superabundance QC food for their nou ris. h h o m w e o n .e t r . , a S re to d re ec c i a in tt i l i e ig h i a n ve so y m et ne b , e ieg en r t ep oo: dear, which has ca used mu ch feeding land to be under no variatio n i n th e woo l mar k e t, nor i s it p s T t rh o o c ei lt,racebdii s t i t ' i r e i c o e r s in regard to price.
