boats, provided they would suffer them to carry their muskets. This proposal, after their trea cherous murder of the two who had the ventured down among them; they , vliould not at all accede to; and while the priest was haranging on - the policy o f a c ompliance, Dillon got behind him, and pressing the muzzle of his gun close against his' back, commanded' him to proceed in a direct line for the boats, threatening him with instant death if he either hesitated; or if any of his people should attempt to attack them, or impede their passage. The priest proceeded as directed; and as lie passed a l on g thought it prudent to remind, his country men that lie was their chief divinity, and that if, through any rash act of theirs, he should lose • his life, destruction would fall upon them all. — By a well-timed presence; of mind, these three persons got safely to one of the boats, and were., happy in once more gaining their vessels—an: event which but a few minutes before was beyond the reach of hope. Next morning, the 7th, a party went - on shore with a considerable property, to offer a ranson for the bodies of their _late companions—but, alas ! not one could be pro duced ; and the wretched cannibals replied to the request, that they had been devoured .the night before All the persons whom we have already men tioned as living among . the natives of Bough lost their lives in the melancholy contest, as did also Mr. Norman and Mr. Cox, officers, Hugh Evans, seamen, and a Lascar named Jonno, be longing to the vessel, in all fourteen persons. The same day (the 7th) they left the dreadful place, and kept company as far as the New He brides, where, they (the Hunter- and Elizabeth) parted the 22d ult.. Captain Dillon's two remaining companions, who escaped with him, were William Wilson and Martin Bushart. If Bushart and th e Lascar, who also took :refuge on board the Hunterc had returned to the island,:they, certainly would, have been sacrificed, and under this impression they besought :Captain Robson:. to giVe them a passage to the first land he fell in with in the prosecution of his voyage to • Canton. Having finally left the Feejees on the 12th of September, the Hunter made land on the 20th, which proV, ed to be the island of Tdeeopeea, in lat. 12 de grees 15 min. south, .and, east. long." 169 degrees. Here Bushart and the Lascar, with his wife, a Fejee woman, requestetho be put Q ' ti. shore, • and they were according left, and the ship pursued her voyage. In 1826, returning from Valparaiso in the St. Patrick, Captain-Dillon came in sight of Tye t-a)peea, and curiosity prompted hint to heave al . the island, and - ascertain whether the persons left there in 1813 were still alive. Both. Martin Bushart and the l i . ; asear appeared—when an old silver sword gitard, in the possession of the latter, led to inquiries which terrnmatedin the discovery of the retiques obtained from the wreck of Pe rouse's vessels on the coral reefS which surround Maisicolo. Thus it is to the circumstance of Bushart and the 'Lascar having escaped from the massacre at the Feejee Wands, and being acei ilentally landed at Tuecopeea, that we are indebt ed for the information industriously collected by Captain Dillon. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. •• • . (From the Messager des Chambres' of T;;3sday.)'' PEST, OCT. 25.—1 n this country, also, the redue - tion of Varna has given great pleasure. The con trast with all the news we had received was the greater as every day pretended politicians decidedly spread the most gloomy reports of continual defeats of the Russians, and if we might believe them, the Ottoman bands, in the intoxication of victory, ()reedy of conquest and plunder, were going to attack every thing that bears the Christian name, and, without regard to. treaties,. to invade our frontiers. If we might believe these alarmists, it was necessary, with out loss of time, to make preparations for resistance, but all these reports have vanished as quickly as they arose. Meantime millions of Greeks looked with consolation and hope to the final terminationa the sufferings of their countrymen, and all parties joined at least in admiration of the firmness or the Emperor Nicholas and his army. Among. us Hungarians the fall of Varna produ ced an effect like that of some romantic exploits of the ancient crusades. It is no wonder if Hun g ary so metimes recollects its ancie nt splendour, when Constantinople was the emporium of the commerce of the world, the general . direction, which was ori ental, and the trade on the Danube was incredibly active. The Etriperor'Nicholas, triumphing over the never-conquered walls of Varna, has avenged 'the' blood of Wladislaus, King of 'Hungary and Poland, who fell before it, and appeased the manes Of. the Hungarian heroes, Hunniady, natliory,.

After having demonstrated that the increase o f duty falls upon the consumers, makes themonse pay dearer for every thin g they consume, and e q uently diminishes their revenue, and thus renders them lass capable of encouraging production, the author askS if it is true that without the protection of prohibitory chides, or of absolute prohibition, certain branches of manufactures would never have been developed in France ?

Wherever his Majesty appeared, he was received with the loudest acclamations by the immense crowd which was attracted by the fineness of the day and the interest .eicited by the occasion, it being the first anniversary of his Majesty's birth-day since his ac cession to the throne.

The French Papers:are very barren of intelli gence. The Messager des Chambres, in an article dated Pest, Oct. 25, asserts that in that country the ROWS of the reduction of Varna had given great pleasure, and " produced an effect like that of some romantic exploits of the ancient crusades." The Journal the Commerce of Monday states, that a brother of IBRAHIM PACIIA, who with some other Egyptians had arrived at Toulon from Alexandria, was released from quarantine 011 the 2d of this month. He was coming, the same taper adds, to Paris for his education. Papers from St. Petersburgh announce the arrival of his MAJESTY in that capital on the 27th of October. The usual rejoicing took place on the occasion. An Odessa Journal ob serves that, previous to his departure from Varna, the ENIPEROIt addressed a rescript to Count WouoNzow, in which be asserts his in tention of having a monument in honour of WL A DISL A us, King of Poland, erected out of twelve pieces of Turkish cannon captured at Varna. The site is to be left to the discretion of his Imperial Highness the Cesarewitsch (CoN sTANTrNE). The cannon, the same authority states, will be shortly despatched to Warsaw the Prussian State Gazette, dated Nov. 7, it is said that " the Danish Ambassador, Count Von BLOHM, Lei out on the 6th for St. Petersburgh,." The Dutch steamer,. which arrived this morn- ing, brought the Dutch Funds .per Cent. highe'r ; and the . other Foreign Securities at Amsterdam, per Cent. lower; Exchange, g. higher. The following are extracts from the German . Papers to. the 7th inst. received this morning. There was a report, it seems, current on the Polish Frontiers that a sanguinary action had taken place between OMER VRIONE and the Russian corps sent in pmrsuit of him. The result was doubtful. This report however was not authenticated:— FRONTIERS OF POLAND, OCT. 27. . According to a report, which is not yet authen- ticated, the Russian corps, sent in pursuit of Omer Vrione, had overtaken his troops just as they were On the point of joining the main army, tinder .the Grand Vizier, upon which a sanguinary battle en sued, in which that army also took part. The state- . ments respecting the issue of it do not agree. It seems, however, that the Russian force, notwith standing its superiority in military skill, was not suf ficiently numerous to profit by the advantage which that superiority gave them in the field. It is also reported that offensive operations at the foot of Mount Balkan are - to be suspended, with the Emperor's departure. " Lord Heytesbury, the British Ambassador, was preparing to leave Odessa and follow. the Emperor to St. Petersburgh. The new levy arecruits ordered in RUssia will probably Produce a total of 200,000 men, and as the preee ding levy ordered in February this, year amounts to 100,000 men, we have a total of 300,000 fresh soldiers, which will amply make good all the losses that the Russian armies have sustained in the course of the, campaign. TRIESTE, OCT. 24. Letters from Corfu say that Ibrahim Paeha, im- mediately after the sailing of the first division of his troops for the Morea, received orders fron Constan tinople no t to evacuate thatPeninsula,but in case means should be employed to compel him, to defend himself to the utmost. It seems that Ibrahim Pacha was disposed to comply with this order, but: was de terred by the threats of the three Admirals, not thinking himself strong enough to make any serious defence in the field, and he could not retire into the fortress for want of provisions. It is affirmed that bands of robbers, composed chiefly of Greeks, are forming in the rear of the French troops. French Offieers, in their tides into the country, are said to have been plundered by them. Count Guilleminot was indisposed. Baron Sonnet, who is cornmissioneel to provide for the sub sistence of the French troops in Greece, intended to procure part of the provisions from this place ; but we hear that, to the great prejudice of our merchants, he has now applied to. Ragusa for the execution of his orders. . - . 9tfrifmct.49ne.,4l,frofmrsyi CARLSRUIIIi t Nov. 4.

The Porte seems very auxiOus to preserve tran quillity in Bosnia, it has therefore conferred the dignity of 'Vizier of Bosnia on Ali Pacha, surnamed MoraHier, who is well known as a man of great judg ment and mild disposition. Ali, who served for a long time in the Morea under Ikrahim Pacha, has already ayrived in Bosnia, and fixed his residence at Travnik ; it is hoped that he will succeed in restor ing public confidence and tranquillising the province. Since his arrival there have been several meetings of \‘. the Divan at Trivnik. The Chiefs of Sarajevo had invited Ali to reside among them, but he has pre ferred Travnik. Lisbon Papers contain little or nothing worthy of notice. Every thing goes on there just as usual—proscriptions continue, and tyranny seems to have attained its climax. At a Catholic Association Meeting held in Dublin on . Tuesday last---;-an abridged. report of whose proceedings will be found in our columns of - to-day—Mr. SHEIL made his appearancelfor the first time since his return from England. He was welcomed, as might have been expected, with enthusiastic cheers ; the whole assembly rose to receive him, and. LAWLESS taking prompt advantage of the general impulse, moved that a public dinner should be given him, which was, of course, carried by acclamation. Mr. O'CoNNELL then detailed in a spirited and rapid manner, his plan of operations for the ensuing sea son. These are eminently characterized by vigor and decision; and if, contrasting . them with the late conduct of the Rotunda Branswickers, we may be allowed to draw an inference ; we have not the slightest hesitation in asserting that the Catholic energies are augmented, in precisely the same ratio that the Orange Ascendancy is de clining throughout Ireland. At the Rotunda all was drowsy discontent, or ill-suppressed in.], potent. malignity : at the Association a spirit was awake ; a bold spirit of Uncompromising inde pendence, which stirred the hearts of the assembly like the sound of a trumpet, and roused all the man within it. But impotent—base--unprincipled as they are, to what a condition must these Bruns wickers have already reduced their coun try, when the leader of the Irish Catholics, on learning that there is to be an augmentation of English force, is compelled to adopt the lan guage of congratulation :—" I am told," says Mr. O'CONNELL, " that the Ki►►g's troops are about to march to Monaghan—l am glad of it ; all the peOple desire, is the protectidn of the King's troops." Protection, and from whom ? from what infuriate, blood-thirsty, or ambitious invaders, the reader will naturally ask? The reply speaks volumes—from Irishmen ! Irish men seek to be protected from Irishmen ; they seek to be protected in the free exer cise of their undoubted rights; from in3ult at the altar, injustice at the bar, oppression eery where. To this end they invoke the assistance of England, and the occupation of their country by the British troops is, from the force of circumstances, made the theme of sincerest congratulation. We forbear to press further upon this topic. It is painful to read, even in history; but how much more is that pain aggravated, when the tyranny that calls it forth, is at this very moment passing under our eyes, in' au Island bound to us by the stronges ties of interest anti affinity ; but which, with an' ingenuity, peculiar to ourselves, we have for four hundred years dope our best to estrange from our affections. We learn by letters from Gibraltar, to the 23d October, that the yellow fever is making every day further progress, which will be perceived by the following bulletin for these last three days : Oct. 20. Sick Oct. 21. Sick 1,532. Deaths 40 Oct. 22. Sick 1,564. Deaths. 40 To add to the evils we are afflicted with, there is a want of water. The Governor has invited the inhabitants to send from their cisterns to the hospital the water they: can dispense with. It now appears that symptoms of the fever have got amongst great number of persons who retired to the ships in the Bay, but nothing has as yet been officially published on the subject. By his Majesty's ship Alligator, arrived at Portsmouth from Madeira, accounts from that Island have been received of the 29th ult., at which period every thing was perfectly quiet ; on the 14th a further force arrived from Lisbon, consisting of a frigate, two corvettes, and two brigs of Iva, and proceeded on the 17th with a part of the squadron for Terceira, with the expedition for the reduction of that Island ; so that the boasted valour of the Governor and his garrison, in favour of DON PEDRO, will have been put to the test ere this time. We confess, after what we have seen, we put little confidence and trust in these demonstrations of loyalty and devotion. There remained at Madeira the Cybele and Princeza corvettes, the Thirteenth May brig of war, the Orestes transport, and about 600 soldiers of Nos. 2 and 13. The Isabel Brazilian frigate, by the last accounts, was still cruising on and off Terceira. A Cabinet ounctl was held at three o'clock yesterday afternoon ; at thfi Foreign Office, Doweiug-street, the summonses' for the assembling of which were issued on Wednesday evening. Ile Ministers who attended the Coun cil were, the Duke, of 'WELLINGTON, Earls BATHURST and ABgapEaN, LoHrELLENUOROUGH, Mr. Secretary PaEL, Sir GEORUE Munitay, the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHE QUER, Mr. ItICRILIES, ♦and Mr. VESEY FITZGERALD.— The Ministers remained in deliberation till near five o'clock. In Ole evening the Duke of WELLINGTON gave a dinner to his colleagnes,.at' his residence in Down ing -street, at which the above-named Ministers, with the addition of the LORD CHANCELLOR, were present.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, Twßtrß o' CLocir. The business in the English Funds this morning has been very limited. Consols opened at 87 1 for account, and 874 b for January, and the only altera tion has been a decline to 86i 7 for account; the Commissioners paid 87. lixchequer Bills 75 6 pm.; India Bonds 85 7 pm. To-day the settlement in the Foreign Funds takes place, and the principal occupation of the Brokers has hitherto been in squaring accounts, which will shortly be completed, as latterly nothing has occurred to render the settlement of that im portance it used to be.

We hear that the Emperor of the latter PoWer has issued orders for the erection of a monument, formed of the cannon taken at Varna, to the memory of King Wladislaus, who was killed before that for tress; and, in addition to the inscription, the name of Jussuff Pacha might form a very prominent cha racter in its embellishments, this officer having, it is positively said, accompanied his 'lmperial Majesty in the same vessel to Odessa, instead of accounting to his Sovereign for the loss of the trust which had been reposed in him. In Shares the premium on Imperial Brazilian Mines is 35 6, notwithstanding, at the half-yearly meeting for a dividends none was declared on this speculation ; the next arrivals from Brazil will doubtless he important to the undertaking; in the mean time it seems generally to be understood that there was no prospect of procuring a reduction in the duty on exports from the Brazilian Government, whose finances require every farthing they can.raiSe in this shape. _ _ TWO O'CLOCK.

TO THU EDITOR OF'THE SUN 5111.,-In preparing this edition of the SPEAKING FRENCH GRAMMAR for the Press, I have spared no pains in my endeavours to give the work the greatest possible many of the rules and observations hare com plete eegenreseirieonvfpiperf ec tion. Every part of it has undergone a e n dand condensed, so as to render them more dis tinct and easy of recollection; while much additional and useful matter has been introduced. Extensive experience having confirmed me in the conviction that, unless a learner is early habituated to conversation, he will never be able to converse with a native of France, I have princi pally applied myself to facilitate the speaking of French to English persons. How far I have anooooded in this great desideratum will be for the Public to deride ; and I indulge a hope that individuals will read alai judge for themselves, rather than be influenced by any professions of mine. The work is concluded by a Grammatical Ana lysis, and a Treatise on French Prosody and Yersifica tin j besides a classified vocabulary : a Collection of Fa wilier Phrases, arranged under distinct heads ; and nume rous Models of Note* and Lettere, with some forme of Bills of Exchange, Promissory Notes, and Receipts. In the exe cution of the whole, in short, the Speaking of the language has been the main object; 'and I flatter myself the present edition will be found much improved, and still more worthy of the liberal patronage by which the work has been Cs tinguished.—l have the honour to be, Sir, Your most obedient bumble servant, London, Nov. 13, 1928.

P.EARSON.—We 'regret to give, from a correspondent, the following details of the death of this eminent physician, celehrated chemist, and amiable, though singular, individual; which, we understand, took place at his house in Hanover-square; on Sunday evening last, from accident. Notwithstanding. his greet age (we believe nearer 80 than 70), Dr: PEARSON was indefatigable in the pursuit of study, and sat up every night later than any p er _ soU of his family. On Sattirday night he remained, I t s usual, the last up; and is supposed - to .have made an at tempt to go to bed, which unfortunately had a fatal termi nation. When the foot-boy got up and caine down early on Sunday morning, he found his master's candlestick and the extinguisher at the top of the first flight of stairs, and on going down lowr he beard a' loud breathing, which alarmed him so much that he ran back to the attics for a fellow-serVant, with 'whom he turned to ascertain , the cause. On reaching the bottom they discovered their un fortunate master on the ground at the entrance of the hall, breathing still heavily, but sensele s s,f-rilanisled‘,v ith a a great laige e scalp being ilai He was taken up iin qcviedtunina:ititeyolyno s his ioeda b j e l, d ' a , thv aid procured, and we understand that in. the course of the day he recovered his eouseiousme.s, but expired towards the evening. It is supposed that he fell backward on reaching the top of the first flight of stairs, and rolled down to the bottom with . Out being able to call, for help, or without the noise of his fall being heard. Dr. Namur( being Senior Physician of Si:. George's Hospital at the time of his decease, a va cancy is thus created, which will give birth to many pre- I tensions, and a great conflict of interests.

RAVENSCROFT V. „ I Ao f Dr. LUsaINtToN moved to h ave the \ vit.-- t 1 testator propounded in its original state, witlo ri ll ;r l alterations in the margin. The will was rol",:lf, the 18th April, 182.5, whereby the testa t teso queathed to the son s of his d aug hter, Mrs- J; 4 0 4 4,300/. each, and to her daughters nearly the sum. His solieitor, Mr. Moore, and two other TO tlemen, were appointed executors. In Jankta l i t , year, Mr. Moore died. Shortly after which ei#, the testator called ou that gentleman's partne r ,,," Blake), and requested to have the will, vellie"i i io been deposited with Mr. Moore, given up t° which was accordingly done; he at the sael e ., informed Mr. Blake that he should call itgol l ' t ici few days, as he wished .to have some tate• r made in his .will : he however never ,d ia again for such purpose, but in Aug 0 4 , 6 died,. labouring under considerable aberratitti'; mind.

The Learned Counsel said i g e e, o could be the intention of the testator to dis i l'i o 'so ..

The probable WI OJ the testator was to give to the surviving sons d 'ar i each, out of the portion of the one who h $ and the residue to which he would have V . "; titled, to the daughterS.: .
