FRENCH PAPERS. (Fro►» As Monittur of Saturday, Aug. 21.) PAnis, Ave. /0.--Aathentic news from Cadiz, dated tith August, state, that a party of 50 revo sititioraisto, who came out of Gibraltar,_ surprised the town of Tarifa on the morning of the 3d. The Covernht was at A lgesiras, and the Spanish gar eiSon had not time to defend itself. The revolu tionists killed an officer who attempted to defend the Island, and immediately armed seine male factors, who were confined in the prisons. On the first news of this event, the Spanish General O'Donnel l who commands the camp at St. Roch, sepia detachment against the place. 4., soon as. this affair was known at Cadiz, Lieut.-General Foissac Latour gave orders to Colonel d'Astorg to proceed to Tarifa with a battalion of infantry anti a squadron of cavalry, to retake the place. Ills Majesty's corvettes Diana and Pomona have sailed to Cadiz to sup fort the attack, and to hinder the revolutionists from escapiug. There is every reason to believe that the simultaneous employment of these forces will have sufficed to chastise the authors of this lead attempt, which is said to be conducted by Colonel Valdez, or by Ordennez. A similar attempt was made upon the little town of Estapona, near Malaga, but the inhabit. anti having timely notice, took arms and repulsed the Revolutionists. ORDINANCES OF THE KING. Louis, &c. &c. We have ordained and ordain u follows: Art:l...There shall be formed a Committee of Revision for the purpose of collecting and verifying the Arehee, Decrees, and other regulatory decisions issued previously to the 're establishment of our authority in our kingdom. t. The Committee of Revision shall prepare successively according to the order of the subjects, projects of Ordinances, abrogating especially and definitively, such of those decisions as it shall judge ought not to be maintained. It dull also prepare, and in the same order, projects of Ordinencei destined to replace such of these dispositions as shall have been found useful, and which ought to be preserved. 3. The Committee shall be composed of twelve Members and a Secretary; the' latter functions shall be exercised by a Mello des requites in the Council of State. 4. Appoints the Members of the Committee.

If Wg have not filled our sheet, it was because we want ad matter, though we could have sent articles enough to fill several Journals. We do not know our Censors—we know nothing of what instruc tions they have received, and we cannot even guess at their tenor by the retrenchments already made. We were obliged, therefore, to leave those places vacant which we could not fill with out violating the law, and then the Journals %Aids censure us for the vacant places, would have shouted for joy if we were condemned for having done • it. In 1815, when the Censorship was established, a Censor was appointed for each journal; explanations could be entered into with 11101,-11nd without giving up his secret, he allowed -.the , intentions of the Government to be divined.

Me. EDITOn—I was much surprised to see in your Paper, THE SUN, so conversant with India Affairs, that a Lieut. CHEW, Commander of a ship-of-war, the Sophia ) of 18 guns, on the Bengal Establishment, had, with part of his crew, been wantonly seized and made prisoners by persons in authority under the Rangoon or Burman Go vernment ! In the first place, there are no ves sels of war whatever kept on the Bengal Estab-, lishmen . !, and vessels of that description in India belong to the Bombay Marine ; but there is not one of the name of Sophia, or of a greater force than 16 guns. But there is a small surveying vessel named, belonging to the Calcutta Pilot Service, commanded by a Mr.JoHN CHEw, who, it seems had, with his boat's crew, taken the liberty to land in the Burman territory, and act somehow inconsistent with the Local Authorities of the place, as appears by the following extract of a letter, dated Calcutta, 26th Feb. 1824 All seems very quiet here, except some trifling dispute with the Bhurmesc about an island (of sand) that has formed itself at the mouth of one of the rivers, but it is not expected to cause much trouble to set the matter right. Mr. Chew and his boors crew have. been, by order of the King of Ma, re stored to liberty, and conducted to Chittagong (a frontier town in the Company's territory), and I suppose all will be imme diately settled. It is rumoured that a great part of one of the Company's loans to be paid off." his, Mr. Editor, on the 26th Feb. last, did not look much like preparation for war; but I .am sorry to say that, by another letter, received on Saturday last from Calcutta, dated 10th March, the dreadful appeal to arms had actually taken, place, and no doubt, long ere this, many a widow and orphan have to deplore the lois of a husband and a father, and, as it would appear, on account of the intrusion of an illiterate pilot (many of whom cannot sign their names) on a disputed Island or Bank of Saud ! in a country where we already possess a territory unwieldy in the extreme !!! I subjoin an extract from my worthy friend, Dr. N—'s last letter, dated 10th March : " We arc going Li have a war with the Miamians ; the Co. vernment (ot Bengal) has just issued a Proclamation declaring war against the King a Aida and his subjects!!! It t$ a ein• gular and well-known fact, that whenever we get a new Gover nor, we have also to commence a limo war, and almost every contest with the native powers terminates in the aggrandize. meat of the Prins)! Empire. " I have perused most of the pamphlets and papers which you have been good enough to send me, and I am of opinion that all the Missionaries who have been sent out to this country, to convert the natives to Christianity, ought immediately to be recalled to their native land, to carry on the work of conversion at home, and by instruction and example revive the original Christian virtues, which appear to be entirely forgotten or neglected. Indeed I think no Hindoo would be guilty of such horrid depravity, as is practised by those calling themselves Christians, particularly in that unfortunate, distracted country, Ireland." The above, Mr. Editor, confirms me in the opinion that I entertained on the Missionaries'. first arrival in India, timuy of ‘vhoin were low selfish mechanics, who, like the unfortunate Smith, the biscuit baker, in the West Indies, have persuaded themselves that they were moved by something supernatural to attempt the conver sion, or rather perversion of people infinitely better than themselves in every moral obligation. —As a proof of it, 1 never heard, during my re sidence, un unbiassed. European give an opinion, • who would not prefer a Hindoo or Mussulma n servant to one who had been so converted, or rather perverted, to Christianity, which formed almost an insuperable objection to their being employed, for they wore neither to be trusted with provisions or liquors, us e v en those paltry temptations were too strong to be resisted by such persons, under their imperfect notions of Ch r i st i an morality! On the contrary, whilst they are under the influence of either Mahomet anistrz or Iliiidooism, they religiously abstain from drinking spirits or eating any of their Master'sfood. I do not know how the Bible Society 'nay like this comparison, but they are facts which can be proved by thousands ; and " facts are stubborn things," sometimes n o t l ileasant to have related.

Ki n g FEnntvAmo, us is well known, has, ever since his liberation, been most anxious to make a great effort for the•recovery of his South American Colonies. The great, and indeed the only, obstacle to the execution of his wishes, hits been the want of money ; and it was found impossible to raise a supply of that indispensable commodityy, unless he con sented toleconnize the loans of the Cortes. Ile was always in. flexibly resolved never to relinquish the sovereignty of South America ; but he has also uniformly declared that he was In. flexibly resolved never to pay a shilling of the debts contracted by the Constitutional Government; and the obstinacy with which . he appeared to adhere to the latter determination, half ' hitherto prevented him from taking any effectual measures agninst his revolted colonies. lint " time and the course of events," as Mr.' CANNINO expresso' it, bringing with them the full conviction that no loan for a considerable sum of money could be obtained unless the Constitutional Bonds were in some • way or other included in the terms of the arrangement, his Ca tholic Mujesty was at length induced to " gulp down" his re. pugnance to receive the revolutionary bonds at any price ; and it was accordingly , intimated to a banking-house at Madrid, that the Spanish Government was now less reluctant than for merly to negotiate a loan on the basis of recognizing the secu. cities of the Cortes, and that these would be taken in part pay. merit of such a loan at the rate of 301. for every 1001. of their nominal value. In consequence of this intimation, the Madrid Bankers immediately transmitted a communication to their correspondents in London, who are the parties that h ave set o ff for Madrid ; —and thus the matter stands at present .—(Brilish Monitor, Aug. 22.) THE lIACIIA OF EG YPT.—\Ve live in eventual times. Power springs up in quarters where it is least ex. pecked, and weakness and imbecility are found where it was IMitgineti.that the giant strength of old empires reposed in its might. 'rite Pectin of Ens( ry, a vassal only of the Ottoman Empire, is likely to become an important personage. He is, though born in Egypt, the son of a Frenchman, and is a per. son, who, in addition to a better education than usually falls to the lot of the Mussulman, seems to have derived a portion of genius and of the spirit of enterprise from his European de scent. Besides having introduced great improvements into the civil administration, and into the commercial and industrious occupations of the people under his Government, he is making active exertions for the organization of an army on the Euro pean model. The execution of this important project is con. titled to the celebrated Colonel FABvtEn, one of the French Refugees who attempted to make a figure on the banks of the Bidassoa, when the French Invaded Spain last year. The Colonel Is in Egypt, though it has been reported that lie is in London. His agents here, however, are busily recruiting, for the service of the Pacha, Officers of Artillery, Cavalry, and Infantry, from the French, Spanish, and Italian Refugees in England. Several of these have already sailed from the River for Egypt. purchases have also been made of the nit material for ware operations! The P A CI LA is likewise forming a Secretariat, i n which are to be employed men of talent of every country i n Europe! All this leads w am !mama reflections; and it will become a matter of gr ava con sideration for our Statesmen to ascertain whether the P A CHA i acts of himself, or whether lie s instigated by any of the lead ing Powers of Europe ; thr 'Rapt it not Po from our East India pones:ions !—(l44in.) OM VER CROMWELL. We extract the following Letter from Oriterft CROMWELL to Colonel VALENTINE WALTON, his brother-in-law, announcing the death of Colonel WALTON'S eldest son at the battle of Marston Moor, from Mr. Ews's historical Collection. — Colonel WAraom was a republican of the most rigid stamp ; he signed the death warrant of King CHARLES the First. The consequences, as may be supposed, were ruinous to him at the Restora tion. The estates which his alliance with the Protector had enabled him, during the troubles, to add to his patrimony, were, in course, confis cated. lie lied at first to Hannan, in Germany, where he became a Burgess; but, fearing he should be given up, he went to Flanders, and there lived in privacy, under a borrowed name, till 1861, when he died of fear, anxiety, and dis appointment DICAR SlR—lt's our duty to sympathize in all mercyes; that wee praise the Lord together, in chastisements or tryalls, that sae wee may sorrowe together.

Langton, of Welbeck-street.] MADAME RIEGO'S WILL. • From Ow Docks Chronicle:l Through the kindness of a distinguished personage in our neighbourhood, who had atisidiouily laboured to alleviate the afflictions of the late Madame ft EAO, after her arrival in this country, we have been favoured with a copy of that unfortunate 14ady's last will and testament, which we have reason to be- Rove has not, till now, appeared in print. The will 'iodated the 12th day of June, 1024 (about eight days before her decease). After a preamble, which appears conform able to the custom of her native country, and of the religion in which she had been educated, the testatrix directs that her re mains may be at the disposal of her brother-in-law, Don Miguel del Riego, Canon of the Cathedral of Oviedo, who had accompanied her to England, and whom she appoints executor of her last will. For placing her r e m a i ns at hi s di sposa l, s h e assigns this reason— that he may take them where he may think proper, and that they may be removed to Spain, and de posited with those of my husband, should they be found, when the liberty of my country is re-entablished." The testatrix then proceeds thus_" 1 also declare that it is my will that all the jewels belonging to the person of my hus band, whatever they be, and wherever they, may be found, be deliveried up to the said brother-in-law, Don Migueldel Riego, as likewise the sword, the property of the Nation, the use of which was conferred on my husband during his litc.time, and which he kept pure and spotless, in order that my said brother 4n-law may take care of it, and when circumstances allow, may deliver it up to the Nation, lawfully assembled, as decreed by the Cortes." After directing the disposal of her wearing-apparel, jewels, and other property, in favour oilier sisters and her sister-in-law, except a certain gold ring with a diamond solitaire which had been presented to her husband, and which she desires her brother-in-law to take fur himself, the testatrix adds—" The black silk handkerchief, the only legacy that my deceased hus band could leave me, as a token of his remembrance, during the last painful moments of his life, it is my will that my brother-in-law should keep by him, to wind round the hilt of the sword, which is-to be returned to,the Nation, as above-said, when circumstances shall permit." After earnestly recommending her sisters and brothers to the .care and direction of her brother-in-law, the testatrix subjoins —" Deeply grateful for the proofs of interest, esteem, and re. spect, which have been shewn me in this country, into which 1 was driven by the political tempest that shipwrecked my own, I wish and entreat by brother-in.daw, Don Miguel, to present thelast memorial of my gratitude to all those rersons who have honoured and favoured me • • • • " Considering it a duty in me, and an set of justice due to the excellent memory of my beloved husband, I declare, in the awful presence of my God, before whose tribunal I am on the point of appearing, that all his sentiments and private conduct, his anxious cares and wishes for the liberty and happiness of his country, have always been in strict conformity with his public actions ; his noble soul wholly filled with the purest and most ardent desires for her political independence, her civil liberty, and the peace and prosperity of her citizens ' w ithout any other wish or person a l ambiteon than the glory of devoting to her his services and his life. " And wishing to have the consolation of manifesting in the last moments of my life the love which I also have always enter. tained for my country, both on account of natural ties, educe. tion and duty, arid of the powerful influence produced by the heroic example of my husband, I cannot help expressing, in this my last will anti testament, the anxious wish I feel for the domestic peace, happiness, and lasting prosperity of my be. hived country ; intreating most ardently every one of her cons, every Spaniard aide to her misfortunes.and present troubles, to contribute by every means in his power to restore her to her sacred and unalienable rights. And although I descend to my tomb with the firm conviction that the sufferings and last sa crifices of my late husband Don Rafael del R whch is iegoiwillalbsoe my ways present to t h e memor y of every . good Spaniard, an d valued as they d eserve , as we ll as his family, own, I ask them, with my dying breath, to cast a look of com. passion over my orphan sisters and brothers, when circum. stances may allow it. "And inasmuch as the General and Ordinary Cortes did decree and grant, in the month of June, 1021, an annual "en sion of eighty thousand reels to be paid out of the national funds or revenues to the General Don Rafael del Mega, for himself, his wife, and children, during their lives, which d e . me was ordered t o be caned into effect, notwithstanding the decisive and definitive renunciation of it by the late General be. fore the Cortes; and inasmuch at; he did not receive a part of this pension during his life, nor I after his death, and having, no children to whom it might descend, I declare it to be my last will, that the sum which should be due to me, up to the last day of my life, be applied to the relief of the widows and orphans of those ;timid Spaniards, who, loyal and faithful to their oaths, fell, like my husband, in defending the ,liberty, and independence of my country."

NIEWCASTIA-UPON-TYNE, Auo.'2l.—This day the lung-talked-of Meeting for taking into consideration the propriety of constructing a ltail-way, to facilitate the inter course between Newcaatle.upon-Tyne and Carlisle, took place at the County Courts, EDWARD COLLINOWOOD, Esq., High Sheriff of Northumberland, in the Chair. The Meeting was numerously attended ; amongst the Gentlemen present we rc. cognized Sir M. W. Ridley, Bart. M.P., Sir Charles Slonck, Bart., Charles J. Brandling, Esq. M.P., T. AVentwortit Beau. mont, Esq. M.P., Cuthbert Ellison, Esq. M.P., 'l'. Locker, Esq. (Greenwich Hospital), &c. After the High Sheriff had opened the proceedings, Lieut.-Colonel Corr hsoN, of Bien kinsopp Castle, addressed the Meeting at some length respect ing the necessity there was of devising an improved mode of communication, as well for the benefit of commerce es the great local interests—the Mining and Agricultural—between the Eastern and "%Vest sides of the land. The object of the Hon. Gentleman seemed to be confined exclusively to the construc tion of a Rail-way, which it was assumed would answer every requisite purpose under contemplation. 'A set of Resolution., founded upon this view, were then submitted; but when the first Resolution was moved, declaratory of the sense of the Meeting, that a Rail-way seemed the most eligible mode to be adopted, in order to extend the intercourse between the Eastern and Western coasts,WILLIAM Anstrrnowo, Esq.(merchant, Newcastle-upon-Tyne) rose to oppose It, addressing at the same time to the Meeting a very luminous and argumentative speech, which 'hewed, in a very conclusive manner, that what. ever the advantages of a Rail-way might be under certain circumstances, they were by no means the desideratum which commercial men, both at Newcastle and Carlisle, had a right to look forward to, if it was ever intended essentially to aug ment the traffic. from Etna to West, and vice eerie. Nothing but a navigable canal, Mr. A. contended, could accomplish an extension of commerce.—Me regret we are unable to publish at length the very able arguments Mr. A. adduced in support of the measure he advocated they were such, however, as de cidedly altered the opinions of a great many who were previously disposed to the formation of a rail-way. I—Sir M. W. RIDLt Y then rose and briefly addressed the Meeting, for the purpose of recommending a middle measure, which, in his opinion, would be best calculated to obviate the present difficulties, and therefore, instead of its being determined exclusively to support a Rail-way, he (Sir M. W. Ridley) would move, that the Committee appointed to act should deliberate on what would be the most effectual method of facilitating and extending the commercial intercourse between Newcastle-upon-Tyne and Carlisle, whether by canal or otherwise..—This motion, which was seconded and carried unanimously, gave very general sa tisfaction.--Sir M. Ridley also begged that the names of Wm. Armstrong, Esq. and Armorer Donkin, Esq. be added to th.l Gentlemen upon the Committee, which was assented to accor dingly. After some other routine motions (which it is not es sential to particularize), a vote of thanks was passed to the High Sheriff, fur his able and impartial conduct in the Chair, and the Meeting was dissolved. From what has taken place at the above Meeting, it is hoped that the good sense of the Land-owners and the public will pre. vail over narrow views and prejudices. It is said that we live in an enlightened age : we may hope, then, that there can be but one opinion, and that a navigable Canal will forthwith be set about to connect the German Ocean with the Western Sea. By such a measure, not only will local interests be materially benefited, but what is of paramount consideration, the strength and re sources of the British Empire will be invigorated in a ratio greater than time serves just now to calculate. SEDUCTION AND SUICIDE.--Yesterday an In. quest was held before Titos. STIRLING, Esq., Coroner, at the blephant and Castle, Camden Town, on the body of Ann Thompson, an interesting female about 20 years of age, who came by het death under the following melancholy circum. stances —lt appeared from the evidence of several witnesses, that the deceased was formerly , a young woman possessing con. siderable spirits, but latterly had fallen into the most melan. choly and desponding condition, in consequence of having formed an improper connection with a young man, by whom she became pregnant. After her accouchement her mind became evidently affected, and she was frequently heard to speak of her misfortunes ; but the family in which she formerly , lived endeavoured, by every kindness, to relieve her in her distressed situation. J3uring the last week the de ceased heard of a situation, and proceeded aain t t o edrew in oam lu ips lt i i r i e ein a ft f e t dh e o r vme i r t ey : much but on her arrival at the house she said to a friend that she could ch notof a painfindco .i i n tr t a l f e e h to ea e d n . te s r h th e eh shortly u se and was missing for several days ; and on Saturday last while some bargemen were passing by the Regent's Canal they ob. served the deceased's body floating, and took it out of' the water and conveyed it to the above how. Several witnesses con. curred with each other that the deceased's mind was deranged, and the Jury returned a verdict—" That she drowned herself while labouring under temporary derangement." EXECUTION or COTTER, FOR THE MURDER OF MR. BREREToN.—Tbui execution took place last Monday, in a field near the Cress of Shinnagh, nine miles distant fr, m Kit. larney, and very near the scene where the unfortunate Mr. Brereton was found murdered. Much time was consumed in erecting the gallows, during , which interval he remained in the chaise deeply engaged In prayer ; after a lapse of three.quarters of an hour, the necessary preparations being corn. plete, he descended front the chaise, and walked from thence to the foot of the gallows, where he knelt, and having said a few prayers, he was about to mount the scaffold, when it was disco. vered that his arms were not properly tied : in humanity to the tli w e hi te h fee w t a w y ns o re a m d j ed us ie t d, th a e nd co h Fd e . poi n nt a td vi4 m er an i'n lhee unfortunate ecution stood up, the rope was finally adjusted, the drop tell, and in 3 few moments life had left him, without even a struggle. ;$ family were witnesses of his execution : there were f our or f i ve brothers and some sisters present.
