THE FOREIGNERS. (From, the Plymouth Journal of yester4v. ) • Plymouth has for some time presented an appearance of unusual b u stl e i n consequence of • the presence of the Russians and 13011 %.' 11 €3e, who having nb occupation, pass the day chiefly in lounging'about the streets, walking to and fro in pairs. or Arich,l'or standing in groups, while their:ourre 'appearance, the animation of their manger, and earnestness of their gestures attract ing the'atfention of the more phlegm a ti c J o h n • Bull; draW about - them a host of gazers. The nritecipal streets have consequently the air of some greutscommercial mart," some place, where inerehants most do . congregat e ." It is not, however, all mere show, for the strangers have rea lly Made quite a harvest for the shopkeepers. . Every shop is more or less visited by them and some are' thronged all day. Business has received 'a considerable impetus, and a good deal of money has been put into cir , culation. Both the Russians and Portuguese have a habit which is very affronting to Eng lish tradesmen—when told the price of any article, they. offer sometimes less but never more than about one-third of the sum demanded. This, as well as•ettili part of their dealings, they ma nage. ntort by signs than wor d s , f or f e w o f th e m speak t nglish. For instance, when the price ;raked is three shillings, they hold up one in token of offer; being informed by a 'shake of the head that this offer will not do, they hold up another shilling, and/so on till they can make a bargain. This huxtering is, however, not intended as an affront, but is the effect of experience gathered in other lands, where to be a stranger is to be plundered. The prices being hicessarily greater then they are accustomed' tO,.lnay also, perhaps, incline them at first to suspect imposition, but they cannot remain long in England withoUt discovering that the national character of the British' tradesman, and the principle - upon which he carries on business, render such suspicion unnecessary. For the honour of the Plymouth tradesmen, we have b ereat pleasure in saying that a lth oug h we have diligently inquired and have ample weans of ascertaining, we have not heard of this proper character and principle being departed from in a single instance ; and we feel proud in being able confidently to say, that the foreigners at present amongst us have been f:::, r 1-- y and honourably dealt with. Such in -I.eed as it is the duty is also the interest of our shopkeepers, for to deserve a character for rapa ciousness would be to frighten all foreigners from the port ; and if we knew a case of the kind, our sense of justice, duty, and self-interest, would not allow us to shrink from holding it up to public censure. - Let foreigners know that they are certain of fair dealing in Plymouth, and the good effects cannot fail to be felt in the in crease of shipping to our poi t. We have said that but few of the strangers speak English, but this is meant to only apply generally. Some of the officers, both Russian and Portuguese, speak the language fluently, and there are amongst them some good interpreters ; many of them speak French. The Russians are fine hardy-looking men, but they have rather asi uncouth unpolished appearance. The Portuguese, on the contrary, though some of them are, from recent misfor. tunes, squalid and meanly dressed, are generally fine, handsome, genteel-looking men, with sparkling eyes, and intelligent faces, to which their dark complexions, and abundant mus s tachios and whiskers, give a very interesting chas, racter. Both Russians and Portuguese have conducted.themselves since they haVevbeen herei, in the most irreproachable manner. The nums hers of the latter are very great, and they occupy: nearly all the lodging-houses in the town. Such of them as came here without money, have been supplied by the Brazilian Authorities. The Rus sians will leave in a few days, but how long time Portuguese may remain is uncertain. Their destination is, as we have before stated, Rio de Janeiro. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Gazelle de France, Sept._3.) CONSTANTINOPLE, AUG. 6:—Husseim Pacha has asked for reinforcements, which the Grand Vizier in person is going to take to him. The Porte h as I published a Bull4tin, in which it affirms that the garrison of Silistria made, on the 21st, a sally, in which the Russian corps besieging the place was beaten. The Turks are said to have lost but few men, while the Russians had 2,000 killed. The garrison has received new cloaks as a reward. Eighty.four Russian prisoners, one of whom is a Staff Officer, have been brought to Constantinople. It was proposed to send them to the galleys, but the Austrian interittintio inteifered in their favour, so that they have been lodged in the barrack ; where they receive daily rations. The Reis Effendi was indisposed for some days, and could not giveaudiences, but he is now recovered, and is very busy. Ghalib Governor of Erzeroum, and Halib Effendi, art ordered to keep the ci-deviant Janissaries itt the Pachalie of Erzeroum in check, because they threatened the public tranquillity, and to oppose the progress of the Russians. Yesterday the Austrian Internuncio received an express from Vienna, but nothing has transpired on the subject. The Porte is going to send fresh troops to Bosnia, in order to make its authority respected. Private persons in the capital, notwithstanding the strict vi gilance of the Porte, have received letters from Adtianople, in which Shumla is represented as strictly invested by the Russians, and Husseim Pacha in a critical situation. The Russians are wait ing for reinforcements to attack the Turks with vigour. It is also said at Adrianople, that Ilusseim Pacha had asked for fresh instructions. The de parture of the grand Vizier for the army is connected with this circumstance. The same letters say, that on the 26th of July there was a battle near Shumla, to the disadvantage of the Turks, in which the son of Jussuf Paella is reported to have been killed. It seems that Varna is in the best state of defence. The Russian fleet had arrived there, but is said to be kept in awe by the batteries on the coast, so that it.will be difficult for it to undertake anything against the Porte. The son of the Marquis of Caratnen, the late French Ambassador at Vienna, has arrived here.— ilu i gsburgh Gazette. VIENNA, AUGUST 23.--PRIVATE CORRESPON DENCE.)—It is reported that the officers of the circles have received orders to have in readiness draught horses necessary for the troops, which are now in their cantonments near Baden. His Majesty the Emperor is expected there on the 4th of September. The Empress and the Arch-Duchess Sophia will not arrive till the 13th, because the latter Princess is going to spend some days at Tegernsee, on the oc casion of her sister's marriage. According to the accounts from Bazardjik, d a t e d the 2d of August, it was on that day that the Fo reign Ambassadors received invitation to follow Count Nesselrode. They embarked at Koslindski. The letters from Bucharest, received at Vienna in the course of the day, contain nothing of importance. (From the Itlessayer des Chambres of Tuesday.) PARIS, SEPT. I.—Letters from Odessa, of the 16th of August, announce that the vanguard of Ge neral Rudiger was five wersts beyond Eski Stamboul. (From the Conaitutionnet) PARIS, SEPT. 2.—ELEMENTARY INSTRUCTION.-- The general competition of the Colleges of Paris, that contest which is so useful in exciting the ar dour of youth, terminated this year with more so lemnity than ever. The Minister of Public In struction presided at this family festival, and his words were consoling, and a guarantee for a wise and philosophical administration. If the effects answer the promises—if Jesuitism is rendered im potent to pervert the mind and the sentiments of in fancy, families may be secure, and the education of opulent classes is well provided for. But are the middle and poorer classes as well off. We doubt this; looking at the insignificant soppliee devotccl to thtm, amounting, for a long time, to two centimes a com mune, and doubled by thei Budget of 1819. One hundred thousand francs for the encourage ment of primary instruction in France. We should see in this a sort of mockery, if it were pos sible that any thing trilling should be mixed up with so important a matter; but in the brilliancy of the capital we forget the darkness which prevails in many of the departments. The ignorance of the working classes, to whom elementary instruction is so necessary, to enable them to labour skilfully, and gather the fruits of their toil, is unknown. There are a number of rural communes, in which munici pal officers cannot be found who can read, and people who can write cannot be found for Maires. We saw, in 1815, whole battalions of German Landwher, not one soldier of which but could read and write tolerably well. In Germany, schools are established in the smallest places ; there is not a village—not a manufactory even—where the chil dren are not enabled to obtain those arts which are a debt due to them from the society. We arc not, however, fallen so low as to be obliged to take les sons from an invading enemy. The advantages of mutual instruction were speedily recognized, and acted on among us, even in the most distant pro vinces. The superior authority, seconded by sub scriptions, and obeying a saint:try impulse, established a great number of schools on this principle. What has become of them ? We are acquainted with a department near the Seine, in which 101 of these schools had been organized by the Prefect in 1818 ; there are not now four open. Another Magistrate, though he appeared among the writers in the Gm scrvateur, saw the necessity of combatting rude man ners by education, and he allowed 15,000 francs per annum for thirty schools in Corsica. The most fa vourable results were obtained, but the funds were withdrawn, the schools disappeared, and moral im provement vanished. This suppression received the approbation of M. de Corbiere. The Ex-Minister may join M. Duplessin Grene dan, and give to Britanny their much-loved igno rance. The Bretons protest against it, and all Frenchmen with them. There is not a workman, nor a cultivator who is not sensible of the value of elementary instruction. " if those people knew how to read," it has been asked, " whnt would they do?" They would read the receipts for their taxes, they would keep square with the tax-gatherers, and Would not pay twice or thrice over, as sometimes happens. We wish to see the system of mutual in struction r e - organ i sed in France on a more rapid and cheape r met h od, if that be possible, and we will en deavour to stimulate the Government. We 'lave before as a report made to the King of Denmark by M. Abrahamson, on the Ist of Jitnuary, 1828, on Mutual Itistru•lion, and we ektract the following passage : " The system of Mutual Instruction was organised in Denmark in 1823, and on December 31 of the Ist year there were 244 schools. 1824 1825 2d do ........... . SOS 3(.1 do ............ 1143 1826 4th d 0.... ; ..1545 1527 sth do ........... 2003 Ncw Sshools to be organised in 1828... 368 Making for the whole Kingdom ......... 2377 Sc,hoole for Mutual Instruction." This rapid progress began when that of Franc o began to proceed in a directly contrary direction. Mutual instruction is admitted, therefore, into th e only country where absolute power is legal. We hear from Arras, that a great number of schoolmasters of the country places had been there to pay their respects to the new Committee for in specting Elementary Education. The Bishop of Arras belongs to those who conform to the Royal Ordinance. The Pr , 'eure•car de Lyon gives the following newt, which we repeat without guaranteeing it; and w e remark, that the Diario di Roma, arrived at Pans to-day, says not a word of the departure of his Holi ness :-- "We have as folows from Zurich :—The Pope arrived here on August 21st, with several carriages. He was received with great honour, and the garrison fired a salute, He immediately paid, a visit to the President of the Diet, and to some of the Members of that Assembly, but he did not quit his carriage to these latter. He was escorted by the Members of the Council of State. The object of his Holi ness's journey is unknown." (From the Journal des Debuts.) PARIS, Save. 2.—An extraordinary incident sig nalized the opening yesterday of the * First Section of the Court of Assize, under the Presidency of M. Haranjacer de Quincerot. The list of the thirty six jurymen and the four supplemental did not col lect ; of the" thirty prescribed by the Cede of Cri minal Instruction, only twenty-eight were present. Several of the absentees sent sufficient excuses. The Court would not permit the excuse of Turpin de Crisse, who stated that he was under the necessity of supplying the place of the Viscount Sosthenes de la Rochefoucauld, on the direction of the fine arts. M. Debonne had taken his place for Lyons before he received the notice. The Advocate-General, M. Leonce Vincent, regarded his apology as insuffi cient, and begged that he might be fined. The Magistrate complained of the lists of the Juries being published by the Journals, which, informing Jurymen when they would be wanted, induced them to absent themselves. He announced that the Court would take measures that the laws were obeyed. M. Debonne was sentenced to pay a fine of 500 francs. The Court waited an hour till Jury men, drawn from the general list, having their resi dence at Paris, could be procured. We cannot be lieve that the Court will follow the wishes of the Advocate-General, and prevent the Journals from publishing the lists of the Juries. The fine it levied on M. Debonne shews-that it can enforce the laws, and the Court, we are sure, will not place periodical writers under the alternative of displeasing it, or df sacrificing a Constitutional prerogative.

Gaubaldi, Vice-Consul of the King of Sardinia, at Kertsch, arrived here yesterday, to go through the legal formalities on entering upon his office. On the day of his de parture, twenty-six ships, under different flags, had arrived at Kertsch, eleven of which were Sardinian. One of the latter had already begun to take in corn from the depot of Kertsch. It becomes more and more probable that that town, on account of its favourable position, will become a staple place for all the produce coining by the Don and the Wolga, and from the coasts of the sea of Azoff. AUGUST 13.—Last Sunday the Emperor came to the residence of her Majesty the Empress, in this town, in. order to attend divine service. His Ma jesty afterwards 'gave a private audience to Lord Heytesbury, the British Ambassador Extraordinary, who arrived here on the 9th, after which his Ex cellency had the honour to be presented to her Majesty the Empress, and to the Grand Duke Michael. Their Imperial Majesties, whose health is perfectly good, returned in the afternoou to their country residence. Oil the same day Te Deans was performed in the Cathedral, on account of the taking of Kars. The Danish Ambassador, Count Biome, arrived here yesterday. The damage sustained by the machinery of the steam-boat Odessa, which prevented it from sailing on the 3d for Eupatorive, is repaired; the vessel put to sea yestei day, and was soon out of sight.

FRONTIERS OF POLAND, AUG. 19.—1 t is said tha the Grand Duke Constantine bas received directions from the Emocror, his brother, to put in motion, as soon is possible, a corps of 30,000 men of the Po lish army. For the present, indeed, this corps is . only to occapy the cantonments left by a part of the army of General Sacken, who has marched to join the army in the field; but it is now scarcely. doubted, that in a short time this division of the Polish troops, and perhaps another corps of them, will be called to take an active part hi the war against the Turks, and that thus the Polish warriors will obtain the opportunity they have long desired, of sharing the laurels of their Russian brethren in arms. It appears that the Grand Duke Constantine will in no case take a command, but contiisue to reside in Warsaw ; b u t it is reported that his Serene Highness will pay a visit to the Empress his mother, who is the only member of the Imperial Family now at St. Petcrsburgh (be sides the young Grand Duke Alexander). It was reported that letters had been received at Warsaw from the Imperial Head-quarters, according to which the resistance which the Turks have hitherto made to the Russians, though unconnected, and seem ingly without any plan, had much exceeded the expectations of the latter. In particular the bravery and skill of the Turkish cavalry are highly extolled, and they really seem to have caused the Russians severe loss before Bazardjik and Varna. Nobody, however, doubts of the final result of the campaign, when the Russian army has once passed the Balkan.—Nurembutg Correspondent, Aug. 27. HAMBURGIT, AUG. 29.—0 n the 26th important despatches front the Russian head-quarters were re ceived at Berlin ; their contents did not transpire, but as the price of Russian Funds had afterwards risen, they could not have been of an unfavourable nature. The Prussian officers, who are with the Russim army, speak in high terms of the valour and skill of the Turkish cavalry. Col. Von Norlitz, an able cavalry officer of the school of Blucher, who had a mind to try his strength with some of them, lost his servant on the occasion ; another, in a similar rencontre, received a severe wound. The Turks still scent to use their crooked sabres w►th admirable skill. AMSTERDAM, Seer, 2.—Exchange on London, one mouth, 12 02it012 0 0 ; two months, 11 971 to 11 9:3.—Dutch Papers, Sept. S.

The crop of oats throughout this county has, this year, proved a failure in a remarkable degree; in many instances they will not pay for the labour of carting from the ground. Beans, OR the contrary, are every where a prodigious crop. Barley is also good, and a fair average crop.— Taunton Courier. A vender of cheese, during the races, used to deceive the nnwary by dexterously dove-tailing into his inferior cheese a piece of fine Cheshire, into which he thrust the taster, and the purchaser, on the presumption it was all like the sample, (lid not discover the cheat till it was too late. We should have thought this trick too stale to succeed in the present day. —Brighton Gazette. TRUCES OF STOCKS THIt Bank Stock 3 per Cent. Red. 3 per Cent. Cons.

LANDED INVESTMENT IN THE FOREST OF DARTMOOR, IN DEVONSHIRE, Not far distant from Tavistock and Plymouth, including a very comfortable Residence on a small scale, with Gardens and Offices, and 2,284 Acres of Land, within a ring fence, and the Furniture, Wines, Live and Dead Farm ing Stock, Library of Books, &c. 31 GEORGE ROBINS very respectfully announces, that he is directed to SELL by AUCTION, at the New Londqn Inn, Exeter, on FRIDAY, the:26th day of September, at Twelve o'Clock, in One Lot, a very fine INVESTMENT for Capital, possessing very many present, and an infinity of prospective, advantages. It comprehends A DOMAIN OF 2,284 ACRES OF LAND ON THE FOREST OF DARTMOOR, of which two or three hundred Acres have been cultivated very successfully, and the remainder have given demon strative proof of great capability. THE ADMIRED RESIDENCE is on a moderate scale, and yet fully equal to the just pre tensions of a email respectable family; it is environed by the lawn and thriving plantations, which. communicate with the gardens, encompassed by lofty walls. THE AGRICULTURAL BUILDINGS are upon a scale commensurate with the vast extent of this Property, and are all of the very bet deicription : there is besides a second farm yard, with warm shelter for cattle. A RAIL-ROAD HAS BEEN COMPLETED two years, direct to Plymouth, and near midway, in which the Proprietor has 41 shares; there are excellent wharfs belonging to the Estate, inclosed with a high stone wall ; from this source lime can be delivered on the spot as rea sonable as in any part of England : on Rodborough Down there is a second wharf of seven Acres in extent, with ex tensive buildings, a good residence, and stabling for 12 horses, with high-walled coal wharf, through which the rail-road passes. There are many more and important ad vantages which the limits of this advertisement precludes the possibility of doing adequate justice to ; its contiguity to the Prison of War must add considerably to its value, inasmuch as in the rational expectation of the convicts being deposited there, every Acre of the Estate will be doubled in value.—The Proprietor has expended on the Property UPWARDS OF 47,000 POUNDS; it is now to be submitted for unreserved sale. Particulars may be had 18 days prior, at the pi incipal Inns, at Plymouth, Devonport, Tavistock, and Exeter . ; the Auction Mart; and at Mr. George Robins's Offices, London. - • - Ebr AA" 11111 LONDON. FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 5, 1828. Lisbon Gazettes and letters have been re ceived to the 20th August. On the 10th, the expedition to Madeira had sailed, as we were pre viously led to understand. The news in the Gazettes, as emanating from tyrannical authority, is entitled to little notice, but our private letters state that the most serious misunderstanding continued to exist between Don MIGUEL and the precious old QUEEN. In fact, it is said, so great has been the animosity between them, that MIGUEL has acted with personal violence towards his astonished mother. The dispute is said to have been materially heightened by the I)oN ' s refusal to be immediately crowned—a piece of self-denial which we should not have been disposed to give MIGUEL credit for—especially as he did not seem over nice in usurping his Brother's rights. While these hopeful doings were carried on in the Palace, the subordinate workers of iniquity were not idle cut of doors—for arrests conti nued to be persisted in openly and secretly to a very alarming extent, and great enormities were understood to be still perpetrated with impunity. We hope, however, that the day of retribution is at hand : LISBON, AUG. 10. . Yesterday everting the expedition for the islands of Madeira and Terceira, nailed from thin port, composed of the following men-of-war, under the command of Vice- Admiral Heurique da Fonseca de Sousa Pregnu, viz.—The Don John VI., of the line ; the Princess Royal and the Prince Don Pedro, frigates; the 3faria and Princess Royal, corvettes ; the D. Sebastian and Gloria brigan tines, and the Galatea and Orestes transports. Besides these six vessels, the Lealdade frigate, and the brigantines the Neptune and Trete de Maio are employed in the blockade of Madeira. A uo. 12. —The Gazette contains a decree of bis Majesty, in which,after some remarks on the importance of instruction, t o qualify subjects to perform their duties to God, to their Sovereign, and to society, his Majesty declares his de sire to raise this important branch of public administration from the low condition in which it now is in these king doms; for which purpose his Majesty has been pleased to order that both the inferior schools, and the univer sity of Coimbra shall be henceforth subject to the direction and inspection of a person whom he will appoint with the title of Reformer-General of the schools of the kingdoin.--.(EP Geral dos Est:ales de .Reino.) A Rescript dated 9th August, addressed to the Bishop of Vizeu, confers the above office on him; he is to propose to his Majesty such measures as he thinks calculated to answer the object in view, OPORTO, A I: G. 8. By letters received from Epila, in Spain, dated 25th nitimo, we learn that orders had been received by the Captain-General of the District, to give passports to the Portuguese Royalists who are still there, and this in divi sions of eight men, that they may return to Portugal. Some officers intend to leave that place on the 7th or Bth, and to conic to Braganza. AUG. 14.--The Gazette contains the official statements of the receipt and expenditure of the Treasury for the month of July.

Should this information prove correct, it may be inferred that our Ambassador is going to proceed to Constantinople as a Mediator between the Rus sians and Turks. He will have ticklish work of it. Indeed we should not be surprised if Lord HEYTESBURY were to succeed beyond his own expectations, and bring down the Turkish Government on his shoulders, as he enjoys the singular, and, let us hope, the unrivalled distinc tion of having witnessed the downfall of every liberal Government to which he has been accre dited. He is a thorough Constitution eater. We trust he will be suffered to wend his weary way to St. Petersburgb to do the needful there, after having given the finishing blow to the Grand Turk. • The _Prangfort Journal of the 29th August contains the following : CAMP BEFORE SHUMLA, ALIO: To facilitate the tnovements of the army, part of the Imperial Comp has been removed to Bazardjik, till the Emperor's return. Flis Majesty has ordered one of the ships of his fleet to he stationed at Kustendje, for the use of the Foreign Ministers, who have accompanied his Ma jesty in this campaign, and who may wish to go for a time to Odessa. Extracts from the French Papers will he found in another column. There is no posi tive news from the seat of war, but if we are to believe some accounts from Constanti nople, the situation of the Turks is by no means desirable, either on the frontiers or in the capital. The Nuremburg Correspondent of the 28th August gives a more favourable view of the Russian operations than any other of the Ger man Journals. The Emperor NICHOLAS, ac cording to its account, is desirous of peace, but will nevertheless prosecute the war. When the divisions on their march join, he will place him self at their head, and storm Shumla. In the meantime the fortresses on the Danube will be kept in check by a division of the army of Poland, but not invested : L'ItOM THE DANUBE, AUG. 23. All the unfavourable reports spread on 'Change at Vienna, respecting the visit of the Emperor Nicholas to Odessa, are as groundless us they are absurd. The specu lators on 'Change, who find it an easy matter to cut to pieces whole Russian armies every day, @hew but little geographical ant military knowledge, when they speak of a retreat from Shnmla to Odessa, followed by . an armistice concluded from necessity. The truth is, that the Emperor wishing to give a fresh opportunity of his consistent moderation and love of peace resolvod (though considering tke infatuation of the Divan, the fruitlessness of each a step may easily he foreseen) resolved to address a new repro serttation to the Sultan, and in doing this, to make use of the councils and co-operation of Lord Heytesbnry, the Duke de Montemart, anti other diplomatic cha racters, who were invited to Odessa with this view. The military opeta*ons, however, will not be interrupted for a moment ; on the contrary, the presence of the Emperor at Varna and Odessa will only accelerate the siege of the former, and the advance of the troops now on their march through Bessarabia. As soon as General Witt's corps of thirty thousand men has arrived at Bazardiik, the Emperor will put himself at the head of it, and return to Shumla, anti by the aid of this reinforcement, it will be possible to attack a position, the conquest of which must decide the fate of the campaign. At the same time 20,000 chosen troops will reinforce the corps besieging Silistria and Varna, and a re serve of three divisions, (consisting, it is said of Polish troops and guards) will enter the Princi palities to observe Rudschuk, Ghiurgero and Widdin, which it does not seem necessary to besiege in form at present-- The chimerical hopes of peace, and with them the high prices of the funds, have been checked on the Exchange of Vienna, to which the warlike accounts from Constantinople contribute. Lord HEYTESBURY arrived at Odessa on the 9th of August, and had a formal audience of the Emperor NICHOLAS. • The Lisbon printed Shipping List, received this morning by the packet, shows the miserable state to which the trade of Portugal, the above port in particular, is fast advancing. It appears that on the 15th ult. the whole of the foreign vessels in the Tagus, consisted of only 15 sail, of which six were Brazilian, one French frigate, (T/emis), three Swedes, one Sardinian, two Russian, one Netherlands, one Austrian, and not a vessel of any description under the Eng lish flag. What a picture does this exhibit of this once famous port. Our readers may recollect that soma few months since a whale was cast on shore near Ostend. The skeleto❑ of this monster of the deep has been very carefully and curiously pre pared, and exhibited to the Public at Ghent and Brussels. It is now, we understand, at Rotter dam, and after being exhibited at Berlin and the intermediate towns, will, in the ensuing spring, be brought to London for the gratifica tion of the curious. This whale is one of the largest of the species, 96 ket in length, the tail 24 feet in width, and in the body, between the ribs, a complete orchestra has been fitted up, in which a band of 24 musicians perform. LIES OF THE DAY. As soon as the necessary arrangements are made, the Duke of Wellington will assume the office of Lord High Admiral, in addition to his other employments, and as a further demonstration of the affinity between universal genius and omniscience, will in the event of a war, take upon himself the command of the Channel fleet. In the diplomatic circles " Aberdeen" is now used as synonimons with Zero. The present effective " Blockade System, so emi nt , u , to British commerce, is termed in the City the " Block head" system. FRENCH THEATRE.
