At noon there was a Council of Ministers, at which the King presided ; it lasted an hour and a half. PA ors, A uo. 4.—A fter the extraordinary heats which have prevailed in the department. of the Aude hitice the beginning of July, a violent wind arose on the 18th, and refreshed the atmosphere ; at the close of the evening the lightning flashed from tilt parts of the firmament, unaccompanied by thunder. At twenty minutes past ten o'clock there was a shock of an earthquake, accompanied by a hissing of wind, resembling the noise made by a ficsee. The shock took place, according to the opinion of some, par soubresaut, and that of others, by oscillation, and many persons were awakened! from their sleep. The effects produced by this shock are variously reported, but the ac counts generally agree as to the hour and the in dication of the degrees marked by lteanrnur's thermometer at the time, which was at `2O de. grecs. The barometer, which throughout the day had indicated:l pressure of 23 inches, experienced no variation at the moment of the ,shock, and the temperature, which was rather fresh during the day, became suffocating until two o'clock In the ;morning ; it is asserted that the shock witi felt at different points its the contiguous departments.

[Prom 16,7 Morsitour of Wednuday.l ,PAttra, AUG. 4.—An afflicting scene, similar to one which occurred a year ago, took place in Madrid on the eveniu of Sunday, the 26th ultimo. It is known that the quarter Jinfonio, the ordinary abode of soldiers, is too often disturbed by quarrels which arise in taverns. On this occasion, intoxication and a young female brought into conflict some French and Spanish soldiers ; thirteen or four tees of w limn were wounded, two or three daugerously., An investigation of this affair is on foot. 4t has strew) y,been discovered that the quorrel was provoked by three youngaecret emis saries, who had persisted in insulting the French soldiers during three days previously, without theselitter having given thew the slightest cause of complaint. Two of these instigators have been arrested, the third has lied. There is not the least doubt that the eternal enemies of order manteuvre in secret to seduce the Imprudent, and disturb the harmony which reigns between the soldiers of the two nations. Nothing has been spared by the ill-designing, to give an alarming importance to an event which was scarcely known in the other quarters of Madrid, since the presence of the Generals Digeon and Quesada was sufficient to restore peace.

" Warning to! the powers." Leo XI I. signed, on the 17th May last, a brief very honourable to the Jesuits. In this brief, which begins with these svords, Cam mato in ?irk, the Pontiff observes,. that the foundation of the Roman College was due, in its origin, to the munificence of Gregory 'XIII., and the zeal of Ignatius de Loyola; that the Popes confided this College to the Society, and that it acquitted itself successfully of this duty so long as it subsisted. Pius VII. who re-established it in 1014, had chiefly in view the instruction of youth ; and the reigning , Pontilfdeciares that he knew perfectly well that his predecessor had the intention to recal the Society to the Roman College.— His Highness immediately turned his .thoughts to the. same groject, and consulted on it the College of Cardinals, whom e ordered to take measures for the good education of youth, as the most prompt and only means to reform men. The Holy Father therefore cedes and assigns, in perpetuity, to the So ciety of the. Jesuits and its general Father, Louis Forti, the Roman College, with the Church of St. Ignatius, the Oratory contiguous, called that of Father Caravita, the Museum, the Library, and all the dependencies. The Jesuits will read lee tares there as they did in 1773, and the Pope will have added only' a Professorship of Sacred Eloquence and . one , of Natural Philosophy and Christianity. "We recommend to them," says his Holiness, "according to the -zeal for religion which ought to animate them, anti conformably to the object of the Society, which is to labour for the salvation of souls, to exert themselves not onlyto instruct the young teen in letters, but to form pions' exercises in the established congregations,. and also to bestow their care on others of the faithful in the above mentioned Oratory." His Hilliness grants theM, for this purpose, 12,000 Roman crowns, which shall be annually , paid them out of the Treasury, beginning from the month of October next. Ile maintains the rights and privileges of the College to confer the degree of Doctor of Arts and Divinity, and to admit to the congregation of the Annunciation of the Holy Virgin, called Prima Prima- rig. The Jesuits shall publish, as occasion offers, astronomi cal observatiOns and other things, which they shall judge use ful to learning. Cardinal Pam is commissioned to put them in possession of the College in the month of October, that they may begin their lessons in November, under the auspices of the Holy Virgin and of the other Saints. His Holiness has also beret 'pleased to credit College for the nobility, and to confide it to the Jesuits. lie gives for the purpose a country-house at Tivoli, built for the ancient Colle,te of the Nobles. His Hill's nese concludes key imploring heaven, that those to whom he in trusts so difficult a duty may worthily perform it. The brief is signed by Cardinal Joseph Alban', Secretary of Briefs. (From the .Journal des Debuts. ) During these three days past the Ambassadors of Austri,. and Prussia have met at the residence of M. Pozzo di Borgo, the Russian Ambassador.

PORT UG LltliON, JULY 9.—Thig morning, at five o'clock, it slight shock. of an earthquake was felt in this city.-- We have had intense heat for these three days ; Fahrenheit's thermometer has been at 10 degrees in the shade. Ills Majesty the King of I)enntrl;, having given M. Dal norgo de Prima, his Charge d'Airaires.at this t'uurt, the elm teeter of Envoy Extraordinary, to present to his 11Injesiy the in•iignla of the Most Illustrions Order of the Elephant, the ling, our sovereign, was pleased to appoint Saturday, the 24th, to receive the said insignia. The Alinister was accordingly intro duced at two o'clock, with the usual ceremonies, and having delivered his credentials and the insignia, addressed his Ma jesty in an appropriate speech ; to which the King made a suitable reply. The excessive heat experienced in this city on the lath, 19th, and 20th of June, and which did so much damage to the fields, deserve some observation. On the •17th and 18th Fahrenheit's thermometer, in the open air and the shade, was horn 92 deg. to 96 de, at two o ' c l oc k, and 79 deg. to 113 deg. at midnight. On the '9th,l exposed to a - hot wind from the north-cast, a rose to 106 deg. This burn.• ing wind did immense damage. wind was so hot that the thermometer exposed to it was, even at midnight, at 91 deg. On the morning of the 20th it fell to 83 deg., rose at 2 A. at. to 103 deg., and at midnight was again at 83 deg. On the 21 s t and 4 22(1 a sea-breeze from the mouth-west cooled the air, so that t h e thermometer was only at 81 deg,, and 76 deg. in the hot. hOurs, and fell at midnight to 73 deg. and 68 deg. It is to be noticed that the thermometer in the open air, but sheltered front the north-c as t,. did not, rise on the 19th to ove 100 degrees. It is Impossible to Calculate exactly the damage done by the terrible phenomenon of the 19th ; we can state, however, that the vines, in elevated situations ' exposed to the north-east, en tirely lost the abundant fruit with which they were loaded. We are informed that a great ninny persons working in the fields were mortally struck by the malignant influence of the excessive heat. 'hinny animals shared the same fate.; the leaves of the trees, and other plants were completel ydried up and re duced Mitt.—(Lisbon Ga.:WO, 27th July inclusive.) t has become our melancholy duty to record the death of JOHN Esq. of Gray's inn, Barrister ut Law, and one of the Advocates of his Majesty's Supreme Court of Judicature in this Presidency. Mr. Pugh bad, not been many months in India; but during the short period of his re sidence amongst us he had acquired the respect and esteem of all who knew him. With the public he had established a cha racter which none but men of superior abilities ever obtain ; and his death has caused a vacuum which will not easily be supplied. No tine ever practised in the Supreme Court whose opinions as a lawyer, were more relied upon, or whose talents, as an advo cate, were more justly admired and respected.

His loss will be long mourned.--( Madras Casette.,/ The decree of the Prussian Cabinet, prohibit. ing its subjects from studying in certain foreign universities (those of Tubingen and Basle were expressly named), on ac. count of the revolutionary principles supposed to be inculcated in them, caused an extraordinary sensation, and the govern. merits interested made semonstrances to that of Prussia.

EXTP.NiIVE 11.013 HER v.—Yesterday morning, between three and four o'clock, the extensive premises of Messrs. DAWSON and SIEAW, 'colour manufacturers and whole sale stationers, 117, Bishopsgate-atreet Within (late the resi dence of Mr. GREY, silversmith), were broken into, and pro petty to a considerable amount carried off. Five ruiliens were observed, by a servant girl opposite, lurking about the pre mises, and one entered the shop-door, but from the facility with which he went in she had no baspicion that he was a rob ber. They forced an iron bar, and entered by means of A false key. No one slept on the • premises that m/lit 7 as Messrs. DAWSON and SOANY have not been above three weeks in the house. Ater getting in they broke open every look in the shop, in: of a strong him chest, and took about 30(1/:. worth of stamps ; they then proceeded to the colour-manufac tory, a nd selected those that were the most valuable. Some of the party were evidently judges of the article, as they took care to select those that would fetch the most money.

We have received a file of the Mexican Joitir nal entitled El Sol, to the 4th of June inclusive. The only article of chief interest to be found in them is the Vroclatnation of the Executive. It is subscribed only by two Members of the Execu live, Dominguez and Guerrero, General Bravo having been absent from the Capital on his expe dition to Guadalaxara.—W a annex the Procla mation : " JUNE 3. " THE SUPREME XXECUTITIC POWER or THY: MEXICAN YEDEUATION TO THE NATION. " Standing in the elevated situation in which, without merit or claim on our own parts, we have been placed, and taking from that height a view of the existing circumstances of the nation, we cannot refrain from congratulating ourselves on re cognizing that the system ultimately adopted is in general pros. perout; and that, with the exczption of the occurrences and accidents which proceed from the want of practice and expe rience, we observe in the conduct of nearly all the states, a basis otsincerity, knowledge, and right intention, which an. nounces and promises that this form of Government will be finally consolidated amongst us, notwithstanding the obstacles and impediments which are yet opposed to it in cliff:neat points of the Federation. " In fact, there unfortunately exist among us a portion of men, who are born enemies of Republicanism; who are inca pable of being reconciled, or of making peace with any thing but that despotism in which they place all their hopes; and for the restoration of which they indefatigably labour, and who would erect their throne of iron and ignominy on the tomb of freedom. Collected on different points, they form at each a focus of hostility and re-action against the system by which we are governed. They contrive and modify plans, and even se ductive plans►, but all destructive of order and liberty. They send forth artful agents, who traverse the states to make prose lytes, and to concert.with men of their own sort. Finally, they circulate printed papers and manuscripts, more or less calum nious, for the purpose of throwing discredit on the principal authorities and officers of the Government. " Fostuately for the Republic, the plans of these men hare been opportueely discovered, and hitherto defeated; but, ani mated by an inveterate hatred against every thing wearing the character of liberty, and pledged to prosecute their designs at all risks, they have by a last effort succeeded in cotnplieming to a certain degree their interests with those of opposing parties; thus dexterously forming, for a certain time, an alliance with the enemies of their views and projects. Accordingly, we have recently seen them interspersed among those who have for their subject of declamation, that the present system and our inde pendence are in danger. In this way the friends, the parti sans, and strenuous promoters of the late empire are suddenly converted into zealous patriots, active republicans, and decided federalists. " Fellow-citizens—lt is your liberty is :limed at—against it all the malignant shafts are directed. The design is to root it out from our soil. Your independence, indeed, though constantly opposed, was never less menaced titan now—not for want of good will on the other, side of the Atlantic, but because the oh stacks to the accomplishment of that purpose are constantly increasing. If we thought there were danger of being again enslaved by our former oppressors, would we not have solemnly announced that' danger ,to the nation Would not the cry of alarm have resounded throughout the whole of Anahuac? Would you not have already called for contributions and extra. ordinary resources, in order that we might assume an imposing attitude against any invader ? No, fellow-countrymen, it is not invasion which the inexorable enemies of public order who live atuongetus dread. it is true they proclaim that apprehension : under that pretext they intrigue, alarm, and conspire. We re. peat, that they do not now fear becoming the victims of Spain, but they would be glad to see the empire re-established.— They do not dread foreign despotism, but they are willing to introduce and set up a domestic tyranny. They are not afraid of being tied to the car of Ferdinand, but they would gladly see enthroned the idol to which they look for their own aggran dizement. Do not imagine that it is the public good which excites them; private interest is their ruling principle; it carries them away, and makes them lose all self-controul. " Such is the impulse by which these men are urged into unbridled licence against the Government. such is the stimu lus which instigates them to spare no calumny, however gross and rediculous in attacking it—calumnies by which they lope to bring the Government into disesteem, and deprive it of moral force, being aware that if distrust could be excited in the peo. pie, disaffection would follow. Hence they wish for confusion, dissension, or a convulsion—in a word, a civil war ;in order, in the violence of the conflict, when parties should be most bit terly irritated against each other, to present suddenly, the tyrant es a saviour—as a point for rallying around, in the same man ner as persons sinking are glad to catch at any thing by which they may hope to escape the threatened danger. " For our own part, it has been our good fortune never to have had any intercourse with the enemies of our country. Since the event of Dolores, we have constantly been in the ranks of freedom and independence. Called to govern, we have governed under the law. Some of us have at different times descended from the supreme command to obey blindly as the lowest soldier. If these pledges are not sufficient, who can present better claims to confidence ? Can those who from motives of ambition and interest are constantly conspiring? Can the Chiefs and agents of the Imperial Government, who lacerate the bowels of their country, whose conduct disgraces the nation in the eyes of foreigners, and who by their agitations and re-actions do all they can to weaken Anahuac, and to in vite its ancient dominators to make it again their prey ? " Fellow-citizens--You who wish to have a country, and that country should prosper and maintain an honourable name, awaken ; do not allow yourselves to be taken by surprise. On the one hand, you have the Sovereign National Congress, the Congresses of the respective States, men at the head of the Government, who 'ewe never abandoned the cause of the na tion 4 and with them are the industrious, the friends of order, and all good citizens. On the other hand, are men who have done little or nothing for the public good—pretenders of every class, without any merit—persons who regard no country, but as it serves their interest—robbers and assassins by profession. To which aide do you turn ? Where ought you to bestow your confidence? For whom do you decide? Speak; but in a manner irrevocable; and let your voice for ever overawe the artful and malignant seducers. " For ourselves, already pledged to, observe and to cause to be observed, the constituent act, nothing can induce us to. vacillate, or to retrocede from a resolution to which we have bound ourselves by a solemn oath. • If necessary, we know how to die; but while a breath of life animates us, we shall exert ourselves to consolidate the present system ; and we will inexorably prosecutg, without distinction of persons, whoever may, directly or indirectly, attempt to subvert it.

[These papers also contain a notice of the arrival of the French Commissioner at Sacrificing, where he remained waiting for passports to enable him to proceed , to Xalapa. A mutiny had taken place at Tehnacan of a piquet of dragoons, employed to escort aprisoner, who titus obtained his liberty. The ring. leaders of the mutiny, however, fled, and the dragoons return. ed to their duty. This circumstance gave rise to a false report of one of the regiments under Gen.
