PARIS PAPERS. PARIS JUNE 2,6.--T he Grand Duke of Tus cany died on the evening of the 18th inst., at the age of 55 years 1 month and 12 days, after an illness of only 6 days. His only son succeeds him under the title of Leopold 11. It is not known on what day his funeral will take place ; there is no precedent on this subject. Since John, Gaston de Medicis, not a Grand Duke of Tus cany has died at Florence. The Grand Duke Ferdinand Third was the first of the House of 'Lorraine who died in this town. It is thought that the ceremonial of Vienna will be partly fol lowed. The Grand Duke and Grand Duchess set off for the town of Castello, a league distant from Florence, as soon as the Grand Duke breathed his last. The account of his illness reaehed the Princess de Carignan, his daughter, at 'Turin, on the 19th inst., at eight o'clock in the evening. A letter from Vienna states that the Prince Paul Esterhazy, th e A us t r i an Mi n i s t er a t L on d on , is destined to fulfill the same functions at Paris. —He will be succeeded in the English Embassy by Count Appouy, the Austrian Minister at Rome. It is said that M. the Baron Vincent has refused the Embassy of Rome. M. the Marshal Duke of Belluno has just dis tributed among the Peers of France a memorial respecting his administration of the war depart ment. (From Galignani's Messenger of Saturday.) PARIS, JUNE 26.—(Stock Exchange, June 25, 'ire o'Clock )—The fraud upon Rothschild's house was the general subject of conversation 'upon 'Change to:day. It seems that the origin of Thu operation was a bargain for Neapolitan Stock, which M. Doloret bought of Messrs. Rothschild for the Account, which l afterwards relin quished, and subsequently declared he wished to resume. It was upon the profit resulting from this bargain that the account was to have been stablished, in virtue of which M. Rothschild of Loudon drew upon the house of Rothschild of Paris. It is said that part of the acceptances have already been seized, and the signature erased. The affair, it is added, is in the hands -of the Attorney-G sieral. The price of Stocks has experienced a further improvement. The Five per Cents. for Money closed at 103 f. For the end of the.month, the price at four o'clock, when the Parquet closed, was 103 f. 15c. At this hour it is 103 f. 25c. The Old Spanish Bonds .have risen. In other foreign securities there is no alteration. A Council of Ministers was held at the house a the Count de VlHelp. The Count de Caraman, French Ambassador at Vienna, and the Baron de Nagles, Director -General of the Post-office of Prussia, passed through Frankfort on the Igth instant, on their way to J ohan nis berg. On Thursday evening the hotel Meurice, where the Infant Don Miguel resides, was brilliantly illuminated, in honour of the fete of the King of Portugal. In the garden were stationed some military bands, who played various airs. A private lettei- from Leipsic states, that not ouly has the Russia❑ Prince Galitzin been dis missed from his functions as Minister of Worship and Public Instruction, but also from those of Director of Bible Societies. MA nRID, JUNE 7.—Tl e King and Royal Fa mily will return to Madrid from Aranjuez on the lgth inst. The French Ambassador is still with his Majesty r and will return here with him. The Tollowing Decree has just been issued : " It being the will of the King our Lord that at his arrival no other persons should be found in the capital but those who •-can remain there in conformity to the laws, particular orders, or other provisions, all those who have not been resident in that .city for the last six years, employed in trade, or a known occu pation and open house, are commanded to depart from it fbrth- -with, as they cannot in any respect be considered to be citizens of Madrid. The clerks or public functionaries, who have ro e orders to quit the capital, are forbidden to return, or to make the shortest stay. This order more especially concerns til Ecclesiastics, who, in consequence of superior commands, re:;ide at Madrid." ca :n:;1 This circular has been addressed to all the Commissaries of Police by the Director Arjona, who, it is said, hesitated long before he would 3:gti it. PARIR, JUNE 2G.—The Chamber of the 'Fri -bon:11 of Correctional Police has pronounced the , nullity of the seizure made by the King's Attor ,ney-General of the first number of the Aristarque :Francais, for the following reasons : iiiecaitse the Journal is the property of the man who com =menced the undertaking— Because the Aristarque has fulfilled-the conditions required , by the law of the period in which it appeared— Because that, according to the law, the proprietor has only a •-right to declare that his Journal no longer exists— Because that the giving of bail is only a condition of its exist ence, but not inherent in its existence; that the bail may he withdrawn, and by that means the Journal suspended, but not •anniltilateu ; and if it were otherwise, the bailing party might cause the Journal to disappear without the consent of the pro prk.ter. Because only one of the ;ail of the Aristarque de mantled to withdraw his bail. Because the rights of the actual proprietors have not been disputed. Because the Tribunals are alone competent to take cognizance of abuses of the liberty of the press. Because the Editor of the Aristorque has fill -filled, so far as depended on him, the formalities required by -the laW for the publication of a Journal. And, the complaint being dismissed, the Marquis de Bonne Puygiron granted a replevy of.the seizure, &c. [From Me Etoile of Sunday.] s .PAms, JUNE 26.—We aid a month ago th a t . '.}.;irland could not acknowledge the independence of South America, on account of the defeat of Bolivar in Peru, the anar -chy prevailing every where, and the ridicule with which she would be covered, if, at the tune of her recognizing the inde pendence of both parts of America, Spain, as is probable, should get possession of them, and bring them again under ler rule. The scene which took placein Parliament between Sir J. Mackietesli.and Mr. Canning has not changed our opinion on this important question. The two orators had evidently • -come to an understanding before hand, as to the question, the answer, and the point of discussion ; they both played their :parts well, the Parliament applauded, the curtain fell, and the scene,, for once, ended to universal satisf a ction. Let us examine what was said, •leaving enigmas and unin ,teeuhiblle phrases to those who love them. in the former dis 3'nthis affitir, a pure and simple acknowledgment of right had always Mackintosh fix. been spoken of. In the present one Sir J. i n s the sense of this recognition, which Is reduced • t) very little-, r., ;li iN ert, to nothing. In effect, of what avail would it be to say to him, you are independent, if, at the same time, Spa in were told, you have a right to hang' _Bolivar if you catchZzi.n.lt is not in this manner that Eng land understands the itellence 0 other countries.; and whom it confines itself t o %fic e a i 2t pr9t i ectiF le 4is be- Whig thee:jai:l be cause it is desired to content the l l • l ea s t ties ; in ; stead or the real assistance of have brea • need. • has .given us to order s . . Mr. Canning ee a Partial recognitio P n. n , A , d i t nl ,tamis that if the inde e will return to the della; were acknowleage !Pais the first time the distinction , .: 13 been made.We ap plaud the prudence of the English Atinister e sees. as we :'have already said, that 'Peru, ari_dsoon - Chlie . , an d _Mr. Canning naturally me not I ;Power of the .Royalists; Y does wish to expose the English Government to the ridicule of a re cognition which, according to its system, it would be neces sary to withdraw on the morrow. We now see that ➢lr. Can ning has no hope but for the Republic of Colombia. This is a singular defeat for the hopes he gave birth to when he announced to the world in Parliament that the Spanish Americas were de facto independent. For the second time, Mr. Canning . is about to commit a great fault. When the war with Spain was in question, he made such declarations to the Parliament, that it was believed England would take an active part with the Revolutionists. He thought to strike terror. Afterwards he lavished his advice on both parties; and at last, during the siege of Cadiz, in the latest moments of the existence of the Revolution, he still of fered his mediation. The course which Mr. Canning . follows with Spain and her Americas is the same. At first independence de facto; it was believed that England would take active part for the Ameri cans • he wished to create alarm ; then tame counsels to Spain that ;he herself should declare the independence of her Colo nies ; and at last he offerss a mediation betwaen the Mother Country and her. trans-marine possessions. It is impossible that this policy should not have the same results as that which was followed towards the Spanish Revolutionists; and Mr. Canning will write to Colonel Hamilton the same letter that he wrote to Sir Wm. A'Court a few days before the surrender of Cadiz. In that letter he made the amende honorable as to the strength which he thought the Spanish revolution to possess, and announced that the other _Members of his Alajesty's Coun cil had better judged of the state of things than he had. The only interest, the immediate interest (of England) is to trade with the Spanish Colonies on paying moderate duties, as has long been done in Havannah, and the Philipine The English, French, and the other trading nations, by aiding the prosperity of these islands, have and still do carry on a brilliant traffic. The whole coast of Peru and Chile will soon be open to them, which will give an immense outlet to Euro pean manufactures. Later, indubitably, will come the liberty of trade with Mexico, and then all the most important com merce of America will be open ; for Terra Firma and Buenos Ayres are ruined for a long time to come. If the other possessions enjoyed the same Ile f acto independ ence so long as these two Republics, they would also have been ruined. And what trade could be carried on with countries wasted by so many years of anarchy ? " The too brilliant hopes" which Mr. Canning* warned his hearers against, are applica ble to this fact. It is evident, then, even by his own admit. sion, that the immediate interest of commerce, as well Eng lish as of other nations, is, that the Spanish colonies should return to submission to the Peninsula—that a tariff with mo derate duties should be established by Spain, and that hence forward all nations should participate in an advantageous trade, without fearing piracy on sea or land. We venture to predict that s uch will b e th e i ssue o f so many discussions.. The energy of the Engli s h C a bi ne t, an d it s l ove of order and legitimacy, may be displayed, and will be dis played —we cannot doubt it—once more in favour of Spain and of universally acknowledged principles of justice. * He foresaw the reproaches he would be exposed to. The recognition of independence would lead to twenty years more of war, the issue of which could not be foreseen. and trade would be null as it is in Buenos .Area and Terra Firma.— Note of the Etoile.

DUTCH AND G E[tMAN PAPERS. (From the Allgemeine Zeitung of June 21.) LEIPZIG, JUNE 10.—The quantity of wool at our fair, which is just finished, has been between 38 and 40,000 quintals. By a calculation not entirely to be depended upon, there has been sold to foreigners, 26,000, and to the Germans 12,000 quintals, and the rest kept in store. The prices of the finest quality were from 125 to 140 Rs. and some very fine samples brought 170 Its. per quintal. The average prices are as follows :—Fine wool, 100 to 124—less ditto, 80 to 90— middling, 60 to 75—ordinary, 50 to 60. The finest and fine wool had already been sold before the real beginning of the fair ; and even for the ordinary quality the average prices were from 10 to 12 per cent. higher than last year • some change, however, occurred in this respect toward the end the market, when the prices lowered to last year's quotations. Never was the quan tity, 'of foreign buyers so considerable, particularly from Eng land ; yet it deserves notice, that a part of the finest wool went towards the North to Warsaw, and to the South towards Brune.

In the last fair at Pest the transactions in sheep's wool, to bacco, and wine, were considerable ; on the other hand, the demand for manufactured goods, both large and small, was slight. COPENHAGEN, JUN 15.—The news of the rejection of the plan forreducing the public debt in France had the effect of a thunder-clap on our Exchange last Friday. The obligations fell immediately from four to five per cent. It is natural that when public securities like the French con tinue to bring in five per cent. interest, the reduction of the interest from four to five per cent. in other countries cannot be effected. Most of our speculators in the Funds expected that our four cent. obligations would rise to 90 rix dollars in silver, but at present there is no prospect of such a thing ; besides, discount is too high for such a rise to he expected. An English brig sunk on Friday opposite the custom-house its crew were saved. It was a mel a ncholy sight ; th e vessel had a great leak, and was running in here, but a sudden gust of wind caught her, and caused her to fill with water, so that she sunk. The upper part of the vessel is visible. JUNE 19.—An important plan, viz. the formation of a great harbour near Elsinore, which has often been spoken of, is now again taken into consideration, and may perhaps be soon carried into effect. It was resolved upon so long ago as 1759, but dif ficulties rose in a quarter where they were least to be expected, by which the place was so cirumstanced, that instead of a har bour for ships, it,turned-out to be only a small place for boats. This little harbour, it is true, has been much improved of late years, but the want of a harbour has become more and more sensibly felt, as the many cases of stranded ships in December last sufficiently prove. A person thoroughly qualified for the purpose has now proposed a plan, which has been approved by his Majesty, and we therefore hope to see the accomplishment of this great work, which will do honour to the reign of Fer dinand .VI. PETENSDURGII, JUNE 9.—llis Majesty has addressed a Rescript to the Postmaster-General, Prince Alexander Galitzin, commanding him to establish a particular office, with the ne cessary number of clerks, for the execution Of the Imperial orders. The Counsellor of State, Popozo, is Director of this office, the salaries in which are estimated at 15,000 roubles. Madame Krudiner, who since 1822 has resided on her estate in Livonia, set out on the sth, attended by Countess Golyzin, Countess Cachotte, and Miss Maurice, who accompanied her from Switzerland to the Crimea, where those ladies mean to settle. She did not pass through this capital. BERLTN JUNE 20.—1 t is not known who is to succeed Baron \Verther at London, but it is affirmed that Count Golz has declined this embassy. One of the next measures relative to the University will pro bably be to limit the summer vacation, which is above two months, to half that time. CHRISTIANIA, JUNE B.—The Diet, after rejecting the King's proposals for changes in the Constitution, took into con sideration some of the proposals that had been made by indi vidual Members in the Storthing of 1821, for changes in the Constitution, the rejection of all which was advised by the Com mittee. Many of these would have led to a great diminution of the Royal authority, as those of the Government would on the other hand have greatly increased the power and influence of the Crown. MAYENCE, JUNE 10.—The last accounts from Holland give the inhabitants of the countries on the Maine some hopes of a demand for corn. At Amsterdam and Rotterdam, there has of late bee n more doing in the markets, and several ships were loaded in th e expectation that the Ports of Portugal would soon be opened. Letters from Bordeaux also say, that corn had risen on account of the scarcity in Spain, and the little ap pearance of a good ha rvest i n t h e S out h of rance. FRANKFORT, JUNE 22 . —Accounts from Constantinople of the 26th of 31 ay say, it is asserted, that positive orders are now sent for the evacuation of, the Principalities to the Seraskier of Silistria, and the arrival of a - Russian Ambassador is therefore confidently expected.

LORD nyaos. ( From the Journal des Debats of Saturday. ) (Extract of a private Letter.) MISSOLONGHI, MAT 15.—Our town has for SOme days past presented the most touching 'spectacle. The'death of Lord Byron is without contradiction a calamity for all Greece. This sublime poet, who,-by the accents of his lyre alone, dismaye'l our infamous tyrants, who, by his heroic genius, animated the courage of our in trepid warriors, and whose gifted strains were alone equal to an army, has breathed his last sigh in the midst of our warriors, and in the arms of our worthy Prince Mavrocordato. He died with the most ardent wish for the perfect inde pendence of Greece, his adopted and highly be loved country. The following are the words which he pronounced in the last moments of his life, and which pass from mouth to mouth through all this country : " I die content, with the sweet hope that Greece will soon be entirely delivered from her barbarous oppressors, and that the Sovereigns of Christendom will make it a sacred duty to pro claim her independence. May my death at least render these Sovereigns less haughty, and more generous towards your he roic country. But for you, brave Greeks, persevere in your glorious career, crush your tyrants, and always maintain for your device, The Deliverance of Greece, or Death." Such were the words of our immortal benefactor. We all were present to-day at a solemn Mass, celebrated in the Metropolitan Church, in honour of this great man. The procession of our young girls, when they repaired to the temple of the Lord, above all increased our tears. With dishevelled hair, and covered with black crape, they sang a funeral hymn in the choir ; then fol lowed the priests, the civil dignitaries, and mili tary officers, followed by all the soldiery, whose colours were decorated with branches of cypress. On Easter Day, M. Spiridion Tricoupis, a young Etolian of merit, and belonging to one of the first families of our town, delivered in the same church a funeral oration on Lord Byron, of which the following passage is the most re markable : " At this moment the whole army, ready to march against the enemy of the Christian name, surround the bier of the im mortal poet and warrior, the benefactor of Greece. She proffers over his body the oath of never forgetting the sacrifices of that great man, anti of never allowing the barbarians. to soil with their footsteps the place where his heart reposes. Every mouth Makes the Temple of the God of Christians resound with prayers for the happy arrival of his mortl remains in the coun try of his birth, and that his soul may repose in the same place with the great men, benefactors to humanity, and with the righteous of every condition." COLOMI3IA. Extract of a Letter from the Agent to Lloyd's at Laguayra, d at ed April 25: . " We inclose directions foi making and entering this port, drawn out by Mr. C. Dunning, master of the John Catto, who knows the coast and port well ; and the information, we are erta7n, will be of great use to strangers . " SAILING DIRECTIONS FOR ENTERING THE PORT OP LAGUAYBA " Laguayra, according to the survey of Fidalgo,. lies in lat. 10. 37. north, and long. 67. 02. west,. from Greenwich, which position seems very correct. " Vessels from St. Thomas, Barbadoes, &c. in running for this harbour, should shape their course so as to make either Blanquilla to the east, or Orchilla to. the west. • BOth these islands are tolerably high, and may be seen 6 or 7 leagues off. From a fair birth between them steering down they ought to endeavour to make in With the main land 0 or 7 leagues to wind ward of I.aguayitt, and then run along shore for the roads. The land in the neighbo u rhood o f th e p or t i s ver y hi g h. It rises gradually from Cape Cortle.ra to the famous Silt of Caraccas. " Laguayra, in every direction from the sea, appears to he immediately beneath the Silla. The town and fortifications (which are white) may be seen distinctly at fire or six leagues' distance. - " Cape Blanco, about four miles to the westward of Laguayra, is only a small tongue of lund ; and strangers approaching La guayra must not depend upon making it as a 'cape, without they are close in shore, and within three or fbur leagues of it. " The land between Cape Cordera and Puerto Cavello may be approached without the least danger within two miles during the day ; but from sunset to eight or nine o'clock in the morn ing, during which time there is no breeze, vessels should give it a wide birth—say six miles, lest the swell and currant, both of which have a tentigncy to the shore, should drive them on the rocks. It is highly necessary to observe this, as instances are nut wanting of ships driving past the harbour in the night. " Vessels making Laguayra in the evening should haul their wind in time, for tear the wind should fail them before they come to an anchorage. • " The town of Laguayra is situate•on the easternmost part of a small bay. Goods are landed and shipped by means of canoes or boats holding about two tons, from a wooden pier, which runs out from the middle of the town. This operation is sometimes difficult, and often very dangerous on account of the surf. " Vessels bound to the anchorage must be careful to hare as many of their square sails furled as they can possibly spare, and a good scope of both cables in readiness, as the regular breezes arc generally very strong, and the ground in many places foul. Chains are to be recommended. • (Signed) " CONSTABLE DUNNING, '" Commanding the English schooner John Cat to. " J.aguayra, Feb. 7, 1624." CAPE OF GOOD HOPE. Extract from the Agents to Lloyd's at the Cape of Good Hope, dated April 10: " We inclose an extract from the Cape Town Gazette of this day's date, notifying that the light-house at the entrance to Table Bay is to be lighted up on the 12th inst., the benefit of which cannot but be felt by the shipping interest : " With reference to the Government Advertisement of the 28th of September, 1821, Notice is hereby given, that the light- house, erected on the projecting point of land, between the Great Mouillee, or Moulin battery, and Three Anchor Bay, under the Lion's Rump, at the entrance of Table Bay, being now completed, the lighting thereof will commence on Mon day the 12th inst. .

FOR THE SUN. IMPROVEMENTS AT AIAP.GA TE. Mit. EotTon-1 am much surprised that none of the inhabitants of this place, or the pro - prietors of the steam vessels who trade here, have made the public acquainted with the desired improvement for the landing and embarkinp of passengers at low water, es p ec i a ll y as t h e want of suet': accommbdation bath been much lamented. It is well known to persons who visit Margate, that at certain times of tide the passage-vessels were obliged to land their passengers by small boats, which was a great inconvenience, and when on shore were necessitated to pass over a rock which was wet and slip pery ; but these difficulties are obviated by the New Landing_ place now erected a t a consid era bl e ex p ence , th e l engt h of which is 1,002 feet, the width 15 feet 0 inches, a complete pier into the sea, at the extremity of which may be seen the North Foreland. I understand that Daniel Jarvis, F,sq., *the Chairman of the Directors of the Margate Pier and Harbour Company, is tho pro jector of this distinguished accommodation, and as a proof of the high estimation in which they hold the disinterested exer. tions of this Gentleman, it is to he culled by his name. Great praise is due to Mr; E. White, the builder of the Jetty, for the unprecedented expedition with which the walk hath been carried on and completed. Monday morning.-4!lince. writing the above, the Hew, Albion, and London Engineer, steam-boats, have taken pas. sengers for London from the landing-place, and they passed on board with the greatest facility ; and immediately after their departure the' Talbot steam-packet from Ostend arrived, and disembarked the family of R. Creswell, Esq., consisting of 20 persons, 2 carriages, and 4 fine horses': the carriages and horses were, passed on shore without any slings whatever, the horses walking from the vessel on to the landing.place, and the car riages were drawn after them—the whole being done within the short space of 30 minutes. The town is tilling fast, and the visitants now here are much pleased with the new Wilding, as it affbrds an additional place of amusement, and is considered us!the finest marine walk in the kingdom. If you will have the kindness to give this a place in your highly respected Journal, you will, Sir, much oblige your humble servant, A PAIEND TO PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT. DILETTANTI CLUB. On the 17th instant, thW Members of the Dilet tanti Club held a meeting in their room at Virhitburn, near Sunderland, when their l'resident (Mr. RICHARDSON, who has recently given to the world a version of Anacreon-, in Eng lish metre), was presented with a valuable cairngorm seal, richly set in gold, with a head of the Grecian Poet, most accu rately engraven thereon, by onn of the first artists and gem cutters in the kingdom. The Society is confined to nine, the number of the Muses, and they were all present. After dinner, Mr. Fell, of iielle-Vue, rose, and presented the seal in nearly the following words:— " Ssit—ram requested by the Vice-President and Members of the Dilettanti Club, to present to you this token, as a mark of their respect and estimation of your merits, on many occa sions ; particularly as being the reviver of this ancient Club, and for having just given to the world the Odes of the Poet of Tens, couched in such harmonious, chaste, and poetical lan •guage, that the most delicate and fastidious reader may peruse them with delight. You have long deserved from your sur rounding friends, some specificproof of their sen se of obliga tion to you; but, latterly, by favouring the p u bli c with the flowers of the sweetest of lyric bards in an English dress, you have drawn forth their particular thanks, which they beg to accompany with this seal, embracing an engravi of the head of Anacreon himself, taken from a coin found at tTrsinurn. In the name, and by the desire of the Society, I wish you health long to wear and use this seal, and.to subjoin a hope that, after you, it may descend to your posterity as a memorial of the donors' deep regard." When the Speaker was seated, the Vice-President, Mr. Fen wick, of Ce.mpville, Northumberland, rose, and delivered the following poetic Address he had . written for th e occas i on : 1 The father of the TEIAN lyre,— His glowing image here behold This splendid seal, the Goutrsi's fire Enriches more, than Allies gold. 2. Deign to accept, 0 RICHARDSOX, 'This token of our high esteem ; Nor deem it flattery alone,— The torch of truth flames through the theme. 3. Dear to thy friends,--innately good,__ Of strong perceptions—always clear ; Thy verse abounds with mental food, — With beauties, shining, rich, and rare. 4. ANACREON, through thy virtuous muse, New strings his lyre in graceful glee; Soft love and wine will ne'er refuse Their charms,—when chastely sung by thee. 6. Range nature's realms, thou friend of man, Thy pen prolific still employ ; Instruct the age on virtue's plan, And long thy laurell'd fame enjoy. 6. Fill, social souls, around this board, The magic wine-cup, sparkling, fill; Pledge ye the bard whose soul is stor'd With flowing verse,—with great good-will. Both addresses were much applauded ; and, after a short pause, the President retured thanks, comprised in the follow. ing words : Gentlemen—Permit me to return you my best and most cordial thanks for the handsome terms in which I have been ad dressed. Were my feelings less interested than they are at this moment, I could say much more, and perhaps in more appro priate terms, than I am now enabled to do. Though now upon ' the gentle down-hill of life,' I have ever thought it my duty to furnish my fellow -men with such aids (feeble no doubt in many instances), as I deemed society might benefit by. In the restoration of this Institution sixteen years since, I was guided by the light of my predecessors, and I have only travelled in the footsteps of departed genius. Cunningham, the Pastoral l'oet, and many others of the Dilettani, who flourished and vi sited this room more than fifty years since, are no more, save Mr. Shield, the celebrated musical composer, and old Mr. Emery, the father of the late lamented comedian. Many au thors have translated Anacreon, and have translated him well ; but in giving to the world an edition of the most elegant, at the same time the most simple and warmest of the Grecian bards, I was actuated by two motives. On the one hand, the polish which has taken place in the English nation within the last quarter of a century, is such, that I found it necessary to consult and follow the public taste and refinement; and, on the other, to avoid and banish coarseness, to select the chastest ex pression and words the English language afforded, keeping in view the wit, harmony, the elegance, and vivacity of the author. Three months only have elapsed since the work appeared, and my friends both in this society and out of it have been pleased to express themselves in so flattering a way, that I cannot find words adequate to use in reply ; but trust they will be assured of my ardent wish to deserve their esteem, and that my predo minant incitements are, in publishing this and other productions now in preparation and forwardness, to- let fall from my pen only what may amuse and delight the virtuous portion of man kind, and instruct, interest, and amend the heart. I receive, Gentlemen, with a profound sense of gratitude, this splendid token of your regard, and beg to assure you of my determine tion to use this brilliant and accurately . engraved signet on all important, patriotic, and literary occasions ; and to leave it to my posterity with an admonition, to value it as I do." After the President had quitted the room, his successor pro posed the health of the visitors, when one of them rose and re turned thanks, in nearly the following words SIR—I am extremely sorry that an opportunity did not occur previous to the departure of your wprthy President, to express the gratitude I feel for the kind invitation to your meeting.— Upon ordinary occasions it has afforded me high gratification to join in the feast of reason, - in a society so eminently respect able--so perfectly congenial to the feelings of every lover of literature; but to be permitted to be pre s ent to witness this well-merited tribute to undisputed worth, venerated talent, and undeviating consistency, is more than I expected : Cold indeed must be the heart, anti tuneless the string, that did not vibrate with unbounded pleasure on the occasion. Nor is it entirely as the re-founder of this respected Society that 1 value the indi vidual. My native feelings compel me to say, that when I con sider the space your President so conspicuously occupies in a town comprising nearly 2i,000 inhabitants, the alacrity and zeal with which he embraces every opportunity of promoting their welfare and prosperity, and, permit me to add, tile value of any thing bearing affinity to his name must be enhanced, — therefore, as an honorary member, I beg to return you most grateful thanks on behalf of my brother visitors and myself.— May your worthy re-founder enjoy the autum of his time in the conscious satisfaction of having endeavoured to add to the com fort and advancement of his fellow-creatures, and especially to his brother townsmen ; and although differing conscientiously on some minor subjects foreign to ffiendship and society, yet, allow me to say, whenever he closes his earthly career (which God grant may be far distant), envy's self must be puzzled to fill up the chasm lie will make in a large portion of society, of which, to say the least, he has long been one of the most use ful, active, and intelligent members. The party remained around the festive board till a late hour in the enjoyment of social pleasures. —(Derhasn County vertiser, June 250 • Articles. WEST INDIA DOCKS.

Some little business has, how• ever, been done on 'Change. Consols at 96} for Account,—Mexican•Scrip li, Prern--Co. lombiatt 1 fi , and Russian 951. Although the accounts transmitted to Govern ment from Mexico are, as we stated yesterday, upon the whole, more favourable than was ex pected, yet one of the facts is far from being of a gratifying nature. It is this, that the Govern. meta is so destitute of money as to be unable even to pay the troops. The very Officers, and amongst theni even the men entrusted with commands, are compelled to resort to expedients for their support, at which their feelings would, under better circumstances, revolt. In our preceding columns we have given ex tracts from the foreign Journals, including Paris Papers of Saturday and the Etoile of Sunday. It is laughable to see the self-complacency with which the Etoile reasons on the affairs of Spain and of South America, under the seeming perena• sion that the councils and proceedings of France have been favourable to the cause of good order, good government, and legitimacy ! The frightful state of Spain, which France sent a hundred thou sand bayonets to tranquillize, one might have inaa giue'd quite sufficient to repress, if not to cure, the vanity of French politicians, or at least to make them distrust the efficacy of their nostrums for good order and good government on solid bases. The open attempt to dethrone the King of Pon- TUGAL, and the conspiracy for conferring a simi lar faiour on the King of SPAIN, by the Ultra, or French, parties in those two countries, also furnish an instructive commentary on the serrc s that. France has rendered Co legitimacy ! When she has amended her own errors, w e many ! bi o l.: it worth while to examine the pretensions o f h ex political writers to arraign the wisd om of the po licy pursued by Great Britain!

There were no tidings of the movements of the Turkish fleet since its sail ing from the Dardanelles, but its destination, after touching at Mytylene and Negroponte, was believed to be Salonica.
