Extract of a letter from the Agent to Lloyd's at Gibraltar, dated the 7th August person has arrived here to-day, who reports that he wei r4on nine days ago, at which time that island, as p r 5 3 Majorca, were in the military possession of the that a considerable naval force wa s lyi n g at Mahon, -- &division of French troops was expected from Cadiz." It must afford sincere gratification to the friends of civil and religious liberty to observe b y Mr. DAWSON'S honest speech, that Minis -145, belying the tone of their too.zealous advo— ate; are determined to conciliate Ireland. This ili sPosition we collect from various circumstances ; 4 " from nothing more than that some of the tr iost violent clamourers against Ireland have already ceased their rage, and have grown calm. I f voce the Duke of WELLINGTON himself Were to declare boldly in favour of the Irish (!athulics, and he has no other course which he can safely pursue, how quickly would we see the Whole servile race of Ministerial flatterers wheeling tound. How rapidly would they put about on k contrary tack, and spread all their sails to catch the shifting gale of Ministerial favour. But it of little moment to note the ridiculous ma hceuvres of those who follow no steady course of principle, but who fashion their doctrines to please e thers. It is of more consequence to watch the m ovements and opinions of those, on whose de depends the fate of nations and the peace ° I the country ; and we hail with unmixed joy th e dawning of that auspicious policy which is 14 quiet Ireland ; which is to put an end to the 4i ell of faction, and to reconcile a whole s tatio n into the firm bond of a friendly 44 ion. We repeat that Ministers have no other I, _ sll l'ae which they can safely pursue ; th e Duke of VY tt.LINGTON is well apprised of this important Iti lth; and we have little doubt that he is anxious t° clear a way the difficulties that yet stand in the 14 Y of a-friendly arrangement with the Irish C atholics. It is evidently the wish of the ene t4les of this body to irritate and provoke them ; !NI) if possible, to goad them on to violence and FOI IY, and thus to mature discontent into actual 41 'ellion. But it is clear that 'Ministers are de aaainst such crooked and base designs, ' ll tl the Catholics are too wary to be caught in t t ql a dangerous snare—they arc seeking consti :ltional objects by constitutional means—the W and the Constiution form the strength of 'ir case ; they feel that they are daily working e ir way to the desired haven of their wishes-- 4, e ea!t cause is daily gaining streng th—the y have heir sid e ; while their opponents resort to such l'erable fooleries about the Protestant princi 'e of the Constitution, as if oppression of other ; tet L Was a Protestant princip le, that it i s e v ident their case is hopeless. Th e y are driven fairly (I f the fi e ld o f arg ument ; and were they not et E i ( ' k ed by influence, their effusions of exploded klodice would only excite pity. I ndeed, it is p c t his special case that these prejudices are still .4 1 ' t t alive. If it were once decided —if the 14 holie s were once admitted to an equal enjoy of civil rights with their Protestant fellow Jects, w e should hear no more of this shallow o u i P e b6 try about distinctions in civil society on grou n d s o f re ligious difference ; or of our o~eroment being Protestant, and therefore f : d to grasp at all the good things for this 4 °ll red sect, to the exclusion of all others. It 111 artie r to uphold this solitary case of prac ti, al intolerance that the follies of past ages are 144 t i requisition ; and that they are kept linger :4g beyondhe 4 their time in the abodes of intelli - ee, from which they should long ago have 11 ' chased by the natural progress of things. ut though they have maintain e d their ground Obstinately and long, they will and must be s n .. 11 dislodged. The Catholics have there - every thing to hope for. from the progress of public opinion ; they know this, and they are too wise to quit thi :,dvaut::gootis ground which they possess of constitutional right for any thing like civil distui bailee, which would be the death blow of all their well-founded hopes. Their po tions are so reasonable—it is so much the in terest of Britain to grant them ; there is such a weight of reason in their favour, that further de lay is impossible ; the same unseen but irresis• tible power which brought about the repeal of the Test and Corporation Acts, will give relief to them—the tide has set in, and it will rise to its level. No power can stem the progress of opinion, which is moving on, every day, with ac celerated force ; and which will, without doubt, break down all the barriers that stand in its way, however solidly fixed. The past history of the world is one continued illustration of the triumph of opinion over power ; we consider it cer tain, therefore, that the final deliverance of the Catholics is fast approaching, and cannot be re tarded. ;; „4. Letters of the 15th instant, from Barcelona, only 20 hours' sail from the Islands of Minorca and Majorca, do not mention a syllable of the occu pation of those Islands by a French force, and the rumour is treated now with total disbelief. If we are to believe the assertions of a Morning I Paper, which always professes to be Ministerial, the Duke of WELLINGTON has shown the cloven foot at last. " England stands clear of all involvements in the West of Europe. Fortu- ' nate it is, therefore, that we have not a soldier in Lisbon, nor a ship in the Tagus. The Duke of WELLINGTON was speedily male aware of the danger whiCh would arise from a continuation of our interference in that quarter, and he determined that the designs of those who wished him to persevere in it, and follow up the miserable policy of Mr. CAN NING, should be defeated." Ye foes of truth ! Hear this, and raise your despot heads—the warmest, nay, the most unblush ing of Mr. CANNING'S admirers, calls the policy of the departed statesman, miserable ! and all for what? to fawn before the " lion ofthe day." Miserable turncoat ! The Duke who had ac quired his laurels in Portugal—that Duke " has left Portugal to herself—he respects the power which has emanated from the hearts of the ma jority of the nobles and the people, and although be cannot consistently recognise Don MIGUEL as King"—the varlet ! not consistently recognise an usurper as King of PORTUGAL ! Well, there is some hope yet—but not from the as sassin's knife, as the Marquis of LOULE can testify—there is some hope, though it he faint as the breath in the wilderness, that the Duke of WELLINGTON will not recognise MIGUEL because "he is too wise (though even he may discountenance the means by which the Regent raised himself to the Sovereignty), to quarrel with the national Acts, or embroil himself in the support of institutious with which he has no concern, and which lie has no right to criticise." Excellent ! But wherefore ? " Because be has at last shaken off the trammels." We thought his Grace had been in loading-strings since his memorable amendment to the Corn Bill ; hut, thank heaven ! ho is fairly out, and there is some hope now for the country, if not for Europe. His Grace "is now prepared to direct his undivided attention (the ladies of' Chel tenham at least will be sorry for this) to the affairs of far greater interest in a different quar ter of the world." To storm the Seraglio, perhaps ; but the SULTAN is a jealous fellow, and will brook no rival near his throne. But his Journalist rejoices at all this for two reasons. We wish we could rejoice for one, but they may laugh who win, and so may the Duke, if he find favour in the eyes of the Houris. The Journalist rejoices, first, that the dissensions in Portugal, like dirty water, will be left to find their natural level—while we (the Duke and himself, no doubt), will remain to vindicate with our whole resources, our rights, and the rights of Europe, in case (mark you that) they should be invaded at the head of the Mediter , ranean." There it is—" still harping on my daughter." What a Duke, and what a Journalist ! Don Quixote and his able com panion were nothing to this illustrious and ver ' satile pair ! Noble politician and most ignoble scribe ! The Duke of CAMBRIDGE left town about two o'clock yesterday afternoon, on a visit to his MAJESTY at the Royal Lodge, in Windsor Park. The Duke and Duchess of CLARENCE, ac companied by the Duchess of MTINENGEN, and the whole of her Serene Highness's suite, left their residence in Bushy Park yesterday morning, and proceeded to Dept ford, where the Duchess of MEINENGEN and suite went on board an Admiralty yacht, in order to be conveyed to Ramsgate, where the Duchess is expected to remain a short time, and afterwards proceed to the Continent. The Duke and Duchess of CLARENCE, after the embarkation of the Duchess, returned to Bushy Park. His Royal Highness the Duke of GLOU CESTER lauded here this afternoon, and proceeded to the Audit House, where a dejeune was provided by the Cor poration for his Royal Highness. The Staff of the South Hants Militia was under arms all the morning, and on the Royal Duke's arrival, formed in line, the hand plavin ,, the national Anthem ; a royal salute was fired from the Speedy cutter; and the laud and hearty huzzas of the populace greeted his Royal Highness's visit to Southamp ton. His Royal Highness and suite immediately after left here for Bagahot.—Hampshir e Advertiser.

On Thursday afternoon last, a little girl, MA TILDA RooTEs, of White-street, Borough, was leaving the Queen's Head Inn, and on pro ceeding through the gateway leadin g th ere t o , a waggon happened at the time to turn round the corner. The driver repeatedly called to her to go back, but she, conceiving that there was sufficient room to pass by, stood upright against the wall, on which the wheel came against her body, and jammed her in a dreadful manner, and she was dragged to the ground in a state of insensibility, where she remained until some persons car ried her to a surgeon's, where it was ascertained that her ribs were broken, and her body otherwise dreadfully in jured. She was ultimately conveyed to her residence in White-street, in a deplorable condition, where she expired. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(T HIS DAY.) FROM LLOYD'S. DEAL, AUG. 25.—Wind N.

THE FUNDS-(THIS DAY). CITY, TWELVE 0' CLOCK. A notice, which was posted at Lloyd's this morn ing, from the Agent at Gibraltar, relative to the occupation of the islands of Majorca and Minorca by a French force, caused, for a moment, an extraor dinary sensation in the City; on reference to dates and probabilities it has not obtained credit ; even the Bears were unbelievers, and said it was too good news to be true. Could this news be authenticated, it would be an important feature in the affairs of both this country and Europe generally. Mahon is con sidered one of the finest and safest harbours in the Mediterranean Sea, its Dock-yard and Store-houses are of the first order, and every thing tends to make the station an important one to a naval power. Some believe the report, and augur that the possession of these Islands is intended as an indemnity for the expellees of the French troops occupying Spain ; at all events, if such is the case, it behoves John Bull not to take such extraordinary and strong sleeping draughts, or lie will at length find himself the laugh ing-stock of all Europe. Consols opened at 871 -a, with some business; the only variation has been, their receding to 871 1, but rallied to their first price, at which rate they con tinue; and 87 4 1 buyers for October.

Mr. CAHILL said, that it was the inten tion of the Catholics of the county Kilkenny to eject Mr. Butler Clarke at the next election, on account of his having voted against the Association. Mea sures were in progress accordingly. The following letter from the Right Rev. Dr. Doyle, acknowledging a vote of thanks passed to him at a former meeting of the Catholic Associa tion, was read by the Secretary, and ordered to be entered on the minutes:— Dear Sir,—On my return here, after an absence of se veral days, I was honoured on Saturday last by the receipt of your very kind letter, enclosing a resolution of thanks to me, passed at a meeting of the Catholic Association, on Saturday, the 2d of this month. I wish I had merited this mark of public favour, so liberally conferred on me by so large and respectable a body of my fellow countrymen. The thanks of a whole people, or of those who in any way re present them, is a reward commensurate to the greatest services ; and to any Irishman thoroughly devoted to his country, perhaps the thanks of the Catholic Association should be more estimable than those of any other body in the world ; but for me, who am conscious of my own in firmity and inutility, and whose pursuits are feeble and con strained when they diverge into politics, the thanks of my own fellow-sufferers serve only to remind me of the cala- mities which press upon our dear country—they compel me to ask, why have we a Catholic Association, not in deed usurping empire, yet ruling, without laws to guide it —without precedents to regulate it—without power or authority to enforce its injunctions? And why am I com pelled often to quit the sanctuary, and participate in the proceedings of those who are an anomaly in the state? God is my witness how much I deplore this state of things, even whilst I concur in its maintenance, and contribute, however feebly, to its support. But necessity is our dear CHARTER, and we must continue till it cease. Injustice prevails, and is prolonged against us ; and we are bound by that law which is written on our hearts, to struggle—to agitate—to strive against its pressure. In doing this, if obliged to press upon the limits of the law, let us not trans gress them—let us not be elated by success, nor depressed by defeat. A people, such as ours, is made drunk by a sudden or unforeseen advantage ; they are also liable to despond when under failure or defeat. But whether they recede or advance, union will preserve their strength, mo deration will mature it, and perseverance will crown it with success—our duty is to sustain the hopes of the people, to combine thair energies, and direct them to one single and attainable point. Let us not aim at what is above our reach, or beyond our competency, or occupy ourselves about business which is not properly our own. Let us burst the penal code, and enter into tke enjoyment of existing privileges and rights. Then will the Catholic Association cease—then can I, and those of my calling, return to the works of the ministry, and that alone—then you, Sir, and your fellow-labourers, merged into the great mass of the nation, with the glorious principles of 1688 as a beacon before you, may deliberate about Irish interests, and endeavour, not as Catholics, but as British subjects, to promote them. This is the only result for which I have hitherto laboured, or will labour hereafter. lam grateful —exceedingly grateful—to the Catholic Association ; and did I cease to support it to the utmost of my power, whilst these laws which it seeks to have repealed have destroyed more lives by their operation in Ireland, even during the last eight years, than have fallen in Greece under the Turkish scimitar, I would be a rebel to my own con science, and tke accomplice of those who afflict the op pressed. I have the honour to be, dear Sir, Your much obliged and most obedient servant, Carlow, Aug. 11, 1828. J. DOYLE. To John Cheater, Esq. THE HARVEST. The following account of the Harvest is from a very in telligent traveller, well acquainted with agricultural opera tions :—He proceeded from London to Liverpool by the way of Birmingham, and returned by the Potteries through Uttoxeter, Burton-upon-Trent, &c., and arrived in town on Saturday night the 23d inst., the journey occupying sixteen days. During that period he went over a distance of upwards of 500 miles in a zig-zag direction, through the counties of Hereford, Northampton, Warwick, Stafford, Lancaster, Derby, and Leicester. Along the most northern extremity of the line the wheat was all cut, and ready for car rying, without having received the slightest injury from the rains, which had not been nearly so frequent of late as they have been to the southward. There was a good Jelll of rain in the north division on Sunday the 17th instant, but it was followed by four exceedingly fine days, which he presumes would enable the farmers completely to sweep the fields in that direction. On Wednesday, the 20th, he came from Ashly-de-la-Zouch to Leicester, a distance of 18 miles, through one of the finest wheat districts in England, the whole of which was secured in the farm-yards ; and the farmers universally stated, in answer to his inquiries, that on no fanner occasion, within their remembrance, were the crops got in in better condition. On the 21st and 22d he came from Leicester to Northamp ton, by the way of Welford, also a very floe grain district, and he had the gratification of witnessing along the whole line, the cheers of the rustics in carrying home the last load, in anticipation ofenjoying the festivities of harvest-home. The spring crops have been but very slightly injured in low situations, and if the weather only keeps us for a short time, they will amount to fully an average, and potatoes and all kinds of succulent vegetables will greatly exceed it. Through the whole of the route the farmers expressed their astonishment at the reports circulated in the Newspaper, affirming that the crops had been so much injured by the wet wea ther, and the consequent advance of prices in the London market, as they were altogether without the slightest foundation. As a proof of the general state of the wea ther to the northward during the last fortnight, the Gen tleman alluded to travelled in an open gig, and had only occasion to use his great coat once, for part of a ttay, on the whole journey. Another observatiou which he made is worthy of notice, that is, that nine-tenths of the pay ments he formerly used to receive in country bank -not”, were made him in gold ; so that it would appear, that the former would he nearly out of circulation before the period fixed by law for their discontinuance arrives, and that with out any convulsion, as has been so dogmatically predicted.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S, AuG. 25. The day was rolling away, as usual, without any betting, till a little incident gave a spur to the business. A gentle man being pricked, made a bold offer of 5,000/. to 2,0001. agst Velocipede, and to post the needful!. This raised the mettle of all the thorough-bred turfsmen, who of course asked for 3to 1. " Done," was the reply, and the bet was snapped at in hundreds, with no small gout. The better, however, after very good humouredly ac commodating a few in this way, thought it more prudent to drop to 10 to 4 , , which he repeatedly offered in hundreds.

SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. Rumours of various import, but no authentic intelligence, have been circulated within these two days, professing to be from the seat of war in Bulgaria. It is said on one side, that Sliumla has been taken—on the other, that the Russian; were severely beaten in the attempt. In the ab sence of positive knowledge, which must arrive before much more time elapses, there is nothing su idle as gratuitous guess-work. The wise thing r p th l a e i u r d ir ii word s , ) g , while system fiin a Government is t o b e p re p are d for the worst. Some o f our contemporar i es have set themselves Pn ai n O enpe e ,Poeniaral destruction fe t h et e t p r a a n r t q uo o tranquillity, or, British t Turkey is accomplished, and Russia superadding, as undoubtedly she will do, if not prevented, a great maritime dominion to her already enormous power. We are far from desiring that under the name of a precautionary or conservative policy, any random enterprise should be got up by England, or recommended by these who, in re lation to Russia, are the natural friends of Ene land. It would be ruinous to do any thing hint prepare for events, until we shall have matured those alliances, and combined those plans, b y the steady maintenance and pursuit of whi c h only we can expect a fair issue to our effort s for the independence and repose of Europe. But neither do we concur with those coun sellors, who bid Great Britain fall asleep, and leave it to other nations to rouse her, on Pretence that the transfer of the whole Turkish territory to the giant hand of Russia, is " a matter which more concerns" then: than it does the interests of this commercial empire. In the first place, we conceive the assumption, thus quietly made as the basis and justification of a system of indifference on the part of England, to be, of all others, the most untenable. If the aggrandisement of Russia concerns Austria, and France, and Prussia, and Holland, more than this country, the meaning of the proposition must be, that the conquest of Turkey would menace these states with some injury more se rious than any that England need apprehend.-- Now that is the precise allegation which we en tirely dissent from, We are of opinion that the danger to Great Britain would be more imme diate and more extensive than any that France, or even Austria herself, could incur from the march of Russia to the Hellespont. Countries with which foreign commerce is but a secondary interest have little to fear from a state like Russia, but invasion. Can she invade France ? No ; or inflict upon her commerce any mischief essentially enfeebling to the sources of French greatness and prosperity ?—Unquestionably not. Russia may cover the Levant and INtediterraneari with squadrons equipped in the dock-yard of Constantinople,—she may Interdict the approach of French merchantmen to the shores of Asia Minor, of Greece., or Egypt,—but unless she can embark 30 :,:1,000 men to effect an inva sion of the southern provinces of France, or to make e, lastin g conquest of Italy, the general safe-4 and welfare of the French nation would he but slightly affected by the maritime prowess of Russia. So, again, if the high or low con dition of her commercial interest be to France, as compared with England, of little moment, to such a state as A ustria it would be not worth half so much. The Austrian empire would have no ground of alarm, and could be alive to no sense of evil, but from military invasion on a most unwieldy scale. But is it so with Great Britain, whose life blood is commerce, whose prosperity is more vulnerable by a dozen custom house officers than that of France or Austria by 50,000 seamen ? Why, the free navigation and commerce of the Mediterranean, the Archi pelago, the Adriatic, and the Euxine, are worth millions every year to Great Brit a i n . Wi t h t h e exception of the northern extremity of the Euxine, these seas are all now inaccessible to Russian tariffs, little familiar with the flag of Russia, and with her products only through the flags of other Powers, principally of England herself. If Malta and the lonian Isles lee con , .sidered indispensable securities to our trao,e with the East of Europe, is England less iraerested than states which have inferior commerce, or which have possessions less dependent for sub sistence or supplies by sea, has England, we say, an interest inferior to that of countries which can dread nothing but invasion only, in maintaining the freedom of the east of Europe and of its watees? If Great Britain, therefore, be in the front of the peril, so ought she in the measures of defence. The question is not whether she ought or ought not "to entice" the continental nations to join in a common system of self defence against a common danger, but, seeing that those nations, we particularize France and Austria, are more ready to act than we are to " entice" them, whether, by an appearance of stolid a pathy, or utter heedless ness a b out the course of 'Russian conquest, we discourage neighbouring States from seeking our alliance, and suffer the ill-judging but credulous world— abroad, and, what is worse, at home, to charge ne with' impotence and degeneracy. If the tone of public spirit amongst ourselves be lowei ed, it is a positive calamity to the nation. Unless it be a matter of necessity, that is, a necessity arising from considerations of safety and of . honour, let the Government not think of war. If, on the other hand, the necessity exist, it is wretched weakness to shrink from the conse ' ' queld exertion, because of its supposed mafeni tude and difficulties.—Times. to an tsjbelPeicYommunity The greater portion of the yublic , will read witin vitationh i sat is f f r a o c m t io nt the of commercial men at Birmnyg . ham . to . a p u bli c dinner.
