The funds had experienced a considerable decline, : Ivhi ch is, with much appearance of justice, attri ~hilted to a suspicion that the real object-of the Fre nch Covernment in stifling the expression of Public opinion, is to veil the designs %;hich it is maturing against South America. Very un favourable intelligence is also said to have been received from Spain, where it is alleged that open insurrection has at length broken out in ifavou r of the Constitution, and that part of the ,troops have joined in the revolt. This news, liowever, requires confirmation. If it be we11..-founded, ..-founded, we fear that the men who have ventur .ed, with arms in their hands, on the assertion of th eir.couptry.'s rights and liberty, will fall vic tlols to their patriotism. The mass of the Spanish Population is so completely swayed by the Priests, that there is but little probability of • in success a. civil 'war, undertaken against the tyrannof a Cl ergy s upport e d by army which is a formidable foreign P °ss ession of all the ports and fortresses of the 4 iitgdon l . A c i v il w ar , however, if any consi derable portion of the people embark in it with .energy, can scarcely fail to force beneficial re forms of some kind or other on the Government, :whatever may be the fate of the patriots by whom it will have been kindled ; and the French will taught, in the expenditure of blood and trea sure which it will cost them to keep Spain in sub jection, a salutary lesson against the conversion a cordon sanitaire into an invading army. An Evening Contemporary, who is in the habit ' 3l giving to his own lucubrations an air of official 'tutl'°"itY) yesterday recapitulated a variety of r°"() " ' l 'Y the British Government has resolved to await the issue of the crises in Mexico and Peru before for recognizing any one of the !Jew South American States. The paper to which we allud e has been the constant thick and Min ad vocate of th e South Americans ; and its s udden and seemingly miraculous conversion to other sentiments and opinions, like that of the -407.ning Chronicle, has excited no small conster nation amongst those who had pinned their faith to the oracular declarations of these ,worthies on the state of the South American question and of South American affairs. At any time, d uring the l ast f our months, the same ma /4)11'11gs, the , same conclusions, and the same an nunciation of the determination come to by Mi nisters, relative to South America, as thoke which have at length been adopted by our Contem porary, may be found in the columns of TUE SUN, and in the columns of TUE SUN alone. It was an ungracious task to stand opposed to the Popular delusion on a subject so deeply involving the mercantile and pecuniary interests of a vast Port ion of our fellow-subjects ; but there are thousands who now wish that they had attended to our ' warnings. °ispatches were yeste - rday rec e i of at the Co -111,41 O ffice, Dow n i ng - street , f rom the Marquis "1 LI.ASTINGS; at Malta, and Sir FREDERICK 0 1 Arl).AVlmp) at Corfu .but they c on t a i n no i ntelligence ortance: ~_~ • MISCELLANEOUS, EST.4.ELISIINIENT OF PACKETS TO MEXICO, AND COLopiniA.-:-The following communication has been made by the Foreign Office on this sub ject, which is of high importance to the commer cial world " Foreign Office, Avg. 18, 1824. " GENTLEMEN—In answer to the letters which have been addressed to this Department by the Merchants interested in the commerce with Mexico and Colombia, relative to the Es tablishment of a regular Packet Communication with those countries, I am directed by Mr. Secretary CANNING to ac. quaint you, for the information of those parties, that his Ma jesty's Governinent have determined to establish a communi cation by packets with Vera Cruz in Mexico, and with Car. thagena and La Guayra in Colombia, and.that hia Majesty's Postmaster-General will take such steps as may be necessary for the carrying the said measure into execution. I am, Gentlemen, " Your most obedient humble servant, (Signed) " FRANCIS CONYNGHAM. " To Messrs. Barclay, Herring, Richardson, and Co. THE VICE-CUANCELLOR.—In addition to the satisfactory report of his Honour's health, which last night declared him to be out of danger, we have this day the gratification of stating that the answer to" the numerous inquiries this morning was, that his Honour continued rapidly to amend. Should his health permit, it is said he will try the effect of a sea voyage. VISCOUNT Himouv.—This Nobleman died yesterday morning at four o'clock, at his resi dence in Green-street,. Grosvenor-square. Thos. Trevor Hampden, Viscount Hampden and Baron Trevor of Bromham, was born on the -11th of September, 1740 • he succeeded his father Robert, the late Viscount, on the 22d of August, 1788. He was twice married, first (June 13, 1768), to Catherine, only daughter of General David Grame, who died May 26, 1804 ; and se condly, to Miss Brown, the sister of Lady Wed derhurn, on the 12th of July, 1805. He is suc ceeded by his brother John, and was in his 84th year.) ' NEWCASTLE•UPON..T Y N E.—We have a letter this morning from Newcastle-upun-Tyne, dated the 19th inst., informing us of an attempt to introduce a cargo of foreign *heat into that market. Sates, in' fact, had been effected Of a considerable part of the cargo, and but for the acuteness of some of the leading corn-merchants, whose attention was ar rested by the eagerness to make sales, ,(and the appearance of the samples being that of foreign wheat) it is probable the nefarious transaction might have passed undiscovered. Great credit, we understand, is due to Mr. JOSEPH POLLARD, MT. REDIIEAD, and the other corn-merchants, who promptly commenced an in vestigation into the affair. The result was such as to leave no doubt that the affair in question was a smuggling transaction. A Deputation immediately waited on Jtitix PITTs, Esq. his Majesty's Warehouse Inspector for the' Nit, and after a short examination of W. CART, the master of the vessel (the Industry), and of another person, who appeared as proprietor of the wheat, evidence sufficient was elicited to warrant the King's Officers in making , a seizure of' both the vessel and cargo. - Our readers will recollect something of a similar nature occurring lately at Liverpool. PARIS, AUG. Masson,junior, was yes terday tried before the Tribunal Correctional, for having in his possession two, copies of Berenger's sons printed at Brussels, with the addition of "a seditious song called the Nouvel Ordre du Jour, and also la rcligeusc de Diderot, le bon seas du Cure Meslier, and ks Liaisons dangereass, pub lished without the name of the printer. lie had before objected to the proceedings in point of law, but his objections were overruled in the Superior Courts, and the cause yesterday came on. The public prosecutor required that, as Berenger's songs were already condemned, he should be sentenced to one year's imprisonment, and to pay a fine of one thousand 'francs. The Court poct polled passing sentence till Friday.—(Journal do's Debuts.) The following is an extract of a letter from Trieste, dated the 4th lint, :—.^ 44 The success of the Turks against Ipsara has caused the greatest consternation in- the 'Archipelago ; and as trea chery is supposed to have aided them in the at tack, we are apprehensive they will rapidly, pro ceed agitinSt the other islands, where they no doubt have many secret friends. The Greeks appear quite dismayed by the fall of Ipsata." Accounts from St. Petersburgh, of a late date, speak 'unfavourably of the weather ; it was both cold and rainy. Advices from the. Crimea state; that terrible devastations had been committed there by immense swarms of locusts. 'The New Bank at St. Petersburgh,' established for the ac commodation of the Nobility, who might borrow money on hypothecating valuables of any de scription, had just commenced operations, and promised to be an institution of great service. A Commercial Letter from Riga states, that very little buiness was done in that City anterior' to the month of May, but in that month the value of the goods exported amounted to 10,422,856 rubles. Thq imports, on the other hand, were only 1,225,879 rubles. We regret that M. BOMPLAND, the celebrated botanist and companion of HUMBOLDT, is still a prisoner in Paraguay, where he was confined upwards of two years ago, on suspicion of being engaged in political instead of scientific pin.. suits. The powerful interference of the Emperor of IlitAzir. in his favour has been solicited, and he has pledged himself to use all his exertions to effect his liberation. ' The greatest anxiety has prevailed among the dealers in grain and the farmers, as to the result of the examination of the returns of the sale of oats up to Saturday last, on the average struck from which will depend the admission of foreign 'oats, or their exclusion from the market. Up to yesterday evening,. however, after several days spent in investigation, the averages have not been struck. - Some returns are supposed by the pro per authorities to wear a very suspicious appear ance. Sales to the amount of 28,000 quarters are strongly suspected of being fictitious. It is said to be the intention of the Ministers in case evidence of any fraud can be obtained, to put the matter into the hands of the Attorney-General.-- (Morning Paper.) The last letters from New South Wales state that Mr. Cunningham . , Botanical Collector for Kew Gardens, has discovered a valuable tract of country abounding in well watered plains, and fine timbered land, to_ the north of Bathurst, and a pass through a ridge of mountains, which stretch east and west to Liverpool Plains, discovered by Mr. Oxley in 1818. This latitudinal dividing range is situated on•the other side of a. stream named the Goulburn, and in many parts resem , blot the Blue Mountains, , THE BING. WINDSOR, AUG. 20.—His MAJESTY and Suite took a short airing in the Great Park, this day, before dinner. The ride of the Royal Party was not so extensive as usual, owing to the , threatening aspect of the weather. His Majesty con tinues in the unabated enjoyment of excellent health ; and ap pears to take great pleasure in employing the opportunities which his present residence hffords of enjoying frequent exer cise amidst the delightful scenery, which the vicinity of the Royal , Lodge presents. Yesterday morning, Mr. 1% yatville left Windsor for London. This afternoon, the Band of the Grenadier Guards plaved some exquisite pieces in the Long Walk, from three until five o'clock. BRIGHTON, AUG. 19.—The Duke of 'Vont: continues in the best possible state of health and spirits at the Pavilion. The Spanish General Quiroga has been here some days. The Russian Ambassador and Lord Alvanley had the honour of dining with "the Commander-in-Chief, at the Palace, on Tues. day. The Prince Gortchakeff and Prince Schonburg dined with the Count and Countess Lieven, at the Royal York Hotel, yesterday. Lord Alvanley left the Royal York Hotel this morning for town.. The Countess of Mountnorris, who arrived yesterday, also left the above Hotel for London this morning. The Commander-in-Chief, we learn, purposes con tinuing at the Pavilion until Saturday se'nnight.

The theatre is very well attended; Miss Cuotve is here, and appears to be a greater favourite than ever with the good people of Worthing. Her Rosetta and Clari have been much admired, and have re ceived the encouragement which her performance of them merited. It is difficult to conceive a gayer scene than Worthing now presents. If I have an opportunity I will write again before - I return to town, but the general pleasure which reigns among the visitors makes me reluctant to leave so agreeable a place. • • --r ; r Ai , ~.. 4 k..f-.4.4 , , sg6t,_ • et, V ..17 1 1. th s • '.4 ''', ...,,,&•7,1' , t i r• - . .-- .'- - .

CANTERBURY, AUG. 20. , Friday being the last day of the ltaies, the court • • • % ) , 1. fashionably and numerously attended than on the' , f• days ; and although a partial shower of rain served at &it to throw a damp upon the spirits of the sporting world, the sun about 3 o'clock, as if envious of his enemy, spread his reful gent rays, to the joy of horsemen, carriage-folks, and pedes trians. The sport commenced with " The County Plate of 501." Three horses started. An able contest took place. be tween Picton and Sprite, and was won by the former. Thtt, in the eyes of judges, was considered as a line race. A bye-match then took place for a considerable sum, and afforded excellent sport. The next was a match, Major Luard's ch. g. Volunteer, against Capt. Lock's lir. g.lilni(ht Errant, 12st. each. (Gen tlemen of the 17th Lancers.) Owners rode.—ln consequence of `the novelty of the scene much interest was excited, and many a fair lady's heart heat with fear when they beheld the graceful attitude of the military school combinedsvith that of the jockey. This match was ably contested, and won with great difficulty by Captain Lock. The Garrison Plate of 501., for horses bona fide the property of officers of the 17th Lancers. One mile heats. 12st. each. Gentlemen riders. Major Willington's Redgauntlet, Lieut. Robbins's Silver Tail, and Lieut. Clarke's Swordsman. Never before had Canterbury been the station of so fine a set of spirited Officers as compose the regiment of the 17th, to them principally may be owned the sport of the day, alike feel ing an interest and promoting the assemblies, theatres, and fireworks. The sports of the day concluded with the Ladies' Plate of 501. for the losing horses of the week, which afforded much excellent sport. The Duchess of Kent, as was expected, did not this day grace the: Downs with her Royal presence. The ball of this evening is expected not to fall short in number of that of Thursday. Never before have we remembered so many of the Nobility attending as have this week, and 'instead of being on the decline., as : we stated some days since, we have no hesita tion in saying that we expect next year to see Canterbury in its former flourishing state. The amusements of the week concluded on Saturday with a grand promenade and farewell breakfast at the Assembly Rooms. We. cannot conclude without noticing the universal applause elicited by Mr. J. Weippert's performance on the harp; the music was unusually good, two full bands in dif ferent rooms (quadrilles in both) during the promenade. The company were delighted by the performance of several select pieces by the band of the 17th Hussars. We have great plea sure in announcing the names of the Gentlemen appointed as Stewards for the ensuing year, S. G. Lushington and C. W. Master, EAVS., under whose superintendence we do u bt no t they will flourish. It is rumoured that a Fancy Ball will take place next year. • BURTON-13PON-TREisl'r RACES, 1824. • . • TUESDAY, AUG. 17.

About eleven o'clock at night the landlady went up stairs to - go to bed, leaving her husband up to, fasten up the bar, doors, and windows. Shortly after both he and the inmates were alarmed at the shrieks of the mistress, running down stairs in her chemise, dechiring the devil was in her room—that she saw his frightful face,and eyes as wide iwi robbedeeiaiiri nagt o.tfahpepsara trunkst uarbo4r, as a tea-cupdooking at her from the bed tester. In running down stairs she fell over the maid servant, and both rolled to. the bottom; but escaped unhurt. Theiwatzli was called, and the neighbourhood alarmed, on a supposition that it was some thief that had got into the:loom ; to which the watchman, landlord, and inmates repaired, aimed with lire-irons and other wetfons. The most resolute entered the room ; some held candle]; ana others presented their arms. At length the mystery Was un riddled : the cause of all this terror proved to be a greats,w4 perched on the bed tester : but hoW he came to be there iii not known (the door and windows being closed), unless he got in down the chimney. , • ..
