QUIS DICLAIE AUDm4•r LONDON, ;VEDN ESDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1824. 'We have received the Paris Papers of Sunday and the Etoile of Monday, and have given ex tracts from them in our preceding columns. They contain no intelligence of much interest; for the advice, from Corfu are only new versions of the affairsof Ipsara, confirmatory of those previously received, and the article from Madrid throws no 4eP f light on the unhappy and almost hopeless state of affairs in Spain. In - p- . our Foreign Intelligence will be found an Ukase of the Emperor of RUSSIA, for permit ting, under certain regulations, and to a limited extent, the importation of unprinte duty f ree. d calicoes We apprehend that this measure has been a d opted in consequence of the sup- Ply hitherto furnished by the infant manufactures 11 "sia being insufficient fo r th e d e m an d. du' e observe t h at the permission to import ty 'fee is granted to the manufacturers al°lle, Which is a most skilful mode of protecting ther n against a ruinous competition with the trier- It is the fashion of the present day to dec ry a l l legislative interference with trade; and mert.antile policy of Russia, therefore, re ceives its fall share of the ridicule that is cast uPon What are by too many persons sup.

Russia, however, is proceed leng uPnn pri nc i ples of policy precisely similar to hose which raised Great Britain to her highest eillie "ce• The results will speak for themselves evr York P apers have been received to the II 17 tk ult. They contain intelligence, which, if it ii to . b e depended upon, presents the state of af , ' e irs for the Independents of Peru and for C l (ll fr °rnhia i a a much more favourable light than t _. l4 ` In which they have lately uetailll hewever, appeared. The are so confused, and the discre. p at icies so should be rend with • °it ' ll % that the accoun ts concid merable cautions—lt is affi rmed, that so on • pendents, n e ws a r th e loss of Callao by the Jude arrived to the Spanish Royalist troops in Peru of the abolition of the Constitu tional Government of Spain ; on the receipt of 'Which most of them refused to acknowledge the absolute King. Availing himself of this cir ekrlStElllCC, BOLIVA.II immediately returned to Cal laa l and was joined by a great number of tho Spanish troops, as also by the faction in Peru Which had before opposed him. Ho had agillii fed,tak possession, say the New York ac " Wit s) ma and Callao, and was marching on with iG - every prospect of bringing the war to a cl ose, T hia news is said to have been brought ualtimore on the Ist of August by the schooner drYlent 1 h ) Captain BOSSIEItti in 22 days from P or t o 44 f e11 0 , which, port h e t h erefore left on the 9th 0 co July ' and could therefore have only obtained 01.41114aieations from Panama, on the other side his .1 le isthmus to the sth of that month : but mates from ' Panama, as given in the New York Pa ne .„ wi: ' 'is extend only to the latter end of May, v i lic h are not so late by three weeks as the ad of teiareceived b y way of Jamaica. As a confirmation Up per stat e ef fee ling in the Royalist army in f ern ) it may be mentioned that advices or al u 1443 Ayres had reached New York with • 1 i Intelligence that on the 21st of March La Serna, the Royalist General and ex-Viceroy of Peru, had resigned the command of the Royalist 'army, in consequence of his' ridhe: sion to absolute monarchy--a step which could only have been rendered imperative upon him by the existence of a contrary sentiment in the Spanish army generally. With respect to Mexican news, as communicated by the New York papers, the most important part is, that ac cording to letters from Alvarado of the Ist and 10th of July, General BRAVO had entered the city of Guadalaxara without resistance, and amidst general rejoicings. This intelligence is confirmed by letters from Tampico of the 3d of July, which were received at Liverpool, together with the papers fromNewYork, and which mention fur ther that the famous Guerilla Chief, GOMER, who infested the roads between Mexico and the coast, had submitted to the Government, so that the interior was considered in a more perfect state of tranquility than it had been for a very long period. It is remarkable, that these papers do not con tain any news of ITun nun, although ample time has elapsed for that purpose. We have received the Demerara Royal Gazelle to the lflth of July. The colony remained tran quil. We perceived, in the Gazette of the 15th, a notice from the Rev. W. S. AUSTIN, that he and his lady intended quitting the colony in 14 days or six weeks from that date. 'rho Post-office packet arrived on the 15th : it brought papers containing the first portion of the debate in the House of Commons on the subject of the late Missionary Smith. Not any of the speeches de livered on the occasion, however, are inserted in the colonial papers. " The inflammatory nature of Mr. BROUGHAM'S speech," says the Royal Gazelle, " has induced us to decline giving it." Much impatience was manifested among the colonists for the arrival of the conclusion of the debate. The Rev. W. S. AUSTIN and his lady arrived at Liverpool on Thursday last, in the Scajbrih, from Demerara. Yesterday afternoon, at four o'clock, the Duke of Yowa held a Levee as Commander-in-Chief, at his Office in the Horse Guards, which was at tended by between forty and fifty Military Officers. Prince POLIGNAC, the French Ambassador, transacted business for a considerable period of time with Mr. Secretary CANNING yesterday, at the Foreign Office. The Duke of CLARENCE is expected to leave Bushey this day, for Chatham. Yesterday afternoon, the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER and Lady SARAH ROBINSON arrived at their residence in Downing-street, from their seat at Noctou, in Lincolnshire, and shortly af terwards proceeded to the residence of Mr. WILMOT HORTON, at Sudbrooke, on a visit to that Gentleman for a few days. Letters have been received from Maranham to the 14th of July, at which period the place en joyed comparative tranquillity. Some disturb ances had broken out at Ceara, and several per sons had left it and repaired to Maranham. A report prevailed yesterday that ITURBIDE had arrived off' Vera Cruz, and sent in a flag of truce to San Juan de Ulloa, but it was not cre dited. The Gazette of last night does not contain a single notice of bankruptcy. THEIR LATE SANDWICH MAJESTIES.—Last night, at ten o'clock, the remains of the late un fortunate King and Queen of the SANDWICH iSLANGS were removed from the vault in St. Martin's church, in which they had been de posited since their decease, and conveyed in two hearses to the London Docks, where they will be this day embarked on board tile vessel which is to carry the corpses back to the Royal resi dence at Woahoo. The hearses were followed by two mourning coaches, in which were Poki, the Treasurer, and his wife, Rives, the inter preter, and the other members of the deceased King's suite.—(Morning Paper.) It appears from the New York Papers received yesterday, that General LAFAYETTE arrived in good health at New York on the 15th of August, after a voyage of 31 days from Havre. These papers mention also the arrival of the three young Englishmen, Hon. E. G. Stanley, Mr. J. S. Wortley, jun., and Mr. J. E. Denison, Members of Parliament, at Albany, in the state of New York. They arrived on the 2(1 of August. MARGATE, SEPTEMBER 7.—Yesterday a young gentleman hired a boat, and, accompanied by the proprietor, took a sail to the Hem'lvers. A squall arose, the boat was upset, and both went to the bottom. The young man had promising expectations, and was just of age. He was ac companied by his sister at Margate. Fifteen pounds have been offered as a reward for finding his body, but neither body has yet been found. This melancholy event has of course excited great anxiety at Margate and the neighbourhood. A few nights ago, John Flaherty, a skindresser, Plough-court, Fetter-lane, and his wife, retired to rest at the usual hour with their two children, the younger only two months old. A bout twelve o'clock at night, they were awoke by the screams of the younger infant; the mother got up and procured a light, when, to her horror and asto nishment, she discovered that the left temple of the child had been lacerate 4 by rats in a shocking manner. She carried the child instantly to Mr, Coombe, surgeon, Fetter-lane, who dressed the wounds, and on the following morning she took it to St. Bartholomew's Hospital. The infant, we are glad to say, is doing well, but it is the opinion of the medical gentlemen that had the vermin inflicted the wounds higher up on the head ) the child could not have survived. TIIE KING, &c. IVninson, SEPT. 7.—Daring the forenoon of yesterday the weather was so unfavourable as to prevent the KING from en joying his favourite excursion to Virginia Water; the finenes s of the afternoon, however, enabled his MAJESTY, with his cus tomary attendants, to take a short drive in the Great Park.— The beautiful sunset of last evening was not, for once, a har binger of a fine morning. At nine o'clock, it commenced rain ing heavily, and the showers continued, with brief intervals of sunshine, during the whole of the day. His MAJESTY was consequently confined to the Royal Lodge, and the grounds immediately attached to it. • Tux FOREST.--The western - side of Windsor Forest, has, for some time past, furnished employment to a considerable number of woodmen and labourers; in felling timber, and mak ing rides through the most sequestered spots, by direction of his Majesty. On the verge of this part of the Forest, stands a plain, ancient building, originally erected for a Royal Hunting Box, but for the last twenty years occupied as a farm, called New Lodge. Rides have been made from this place to Cran. bourn Chase, and from thence, through the Great Park, to the Royal Lodge; and it is understood to be the intention of his Majesty to restore, at no distant period, this little seat to its original purposes. The road that is at present making, is one of the most romantic that can be conceived, winding through a succession of the most varied and picturesque scenery. Earl Harcourt, as Deputy Ranger, has made almost daily 'visits to the spot, and the whole course of road, which extends above six miles, will be completed by the latter end of the present month. h‘ -.? ii) ._. .. • •tov. ...4., - .

We aro happy to hear it whispered in the highest circles, that a National Monument now being erected, will be made to commemorate the victories of Nelson and the glories of our Navy. The Army having its fame already recorded in the Bridge of Waterloo, the Nary also will have a structure to commemorate their glories anti their country's gratitude. For it is intended, we understand, to change the unmeaning appel lation of London to that of Trafalgar Bridge. And as it will face those forests of masts which are the pride of Old England, we cannot imagine a better name or mote appropriate place.— We arc glad to hear that this has originated, where all great anti good things should originate, with the highest Personage of the realm. MRS. COUTTS. This Lady has expressed the sense entertained by her of the attention she has experienced at the hands of the Lord Provost of Edinburgh, by presenting his Lordship with a handsome silver vase, bearing the following inscription : " 30th Auinst, 182.1. " To the Right lion. Alexander Henderson, Lord Provos of Edinburgh, from his friend Harriet Coutts, in kind remem brance of her first visit to Edinburgh, the birth-place of Mr. Comm, son of John Coutts, Esq., Lord Provost of Edinburgh, from October, 1742, to October, 1744." Mrs. Coutts, with that liberality which so eminently distin guishes her, has made the following donations to the charities of Edinburgh : Royal Infirmary . £2O Royal Dispensary • .£lO Asylum for the Blind 20 Senior Female Society 10 Deaf & Dumb Institution 20 Ladies' Clothing Society 10 Destitute Sick - • 20 Gaelic Schools - 10 House of Industry . 10 Debtors in the Jail - 10 Edinb. Lying-in Hospital 10 On Saturday Mrs. Coutts and suite left town on a visit to Mr. Trotter at Dreghorn, and returned to the British lintel yesterday to breakfast, after which we under stan d s h e v i s i te d some of the public institutions, and in the afternoon returned to Dreghorn to dinner, from whence she returned to-day. To morrow Mrs. Coutts leaves town on a visit to the Earl of Lau derdale at Dunbar-house, where she will be met by a distin guished party, and in a few days proceeds to Abbotsford, on a visit to Sir Walter Scott, from whence she returns to the Bri tish Ifotel--(Edinburgh Star.) The newest On dit in the fashionable circles is the approaching nuptials of an Irish Earl of large fortune (who has lately attained his majority) and the lovely daughter of a celebrated Senator and Statesman. The young N o bl eman i n question is the representative of one of the most ancient and illustrious families of the Sister Kingdom ; the young lady is, we believe, in her Itith year, and, independent of personal at traction, is reported t o po s s e ss a refined and highly cultivated understanding.—( Morning Paper.) The metropolis was, between one and two o'clock this morning, visited by one of the most violent storms of lightning and rain that we re member to have witnessed. The flashes were pe culiarly vivid, and the claps of thunder the loudest we ever heard. The fall of rain was im mense, and in a short time the streets, in several places, Were completely impassable. SPORTING. ROWING MATCH FOR 100 SOVEREIGNS,.• The Sculling Match, between Charles Westwood, of White_ hall, and James Castles, of Wandsworth, for 100 sovereign's, will take place on Friday next. From the known skill and strength of the men, it is expected to affbrd a rich treat to ad mirers of aquatic sport. The time of meeting is fixed to be at two precisely, at SI estminster Bridge, to start at half-past two, and row with the tide. Many bets are depending upon this match, which has excited great interest on the River. ROWING MATCH FOR A SILVER TANKARD. Four expert boatmen, Messrs. Hearne (yellow), Bird (red), Holmes (black), Robinson (blue), started yesterday for a Sob. scription Tankard, of five sovereigns each, to row from Mil bank to Isleworth Ferry, and return through•Battersea Bridge. Black took the lead and kept it as far as Wandsworth, when the Red got a-head, and it was a close race to Barnes, when the Yellow led. Blue was met on the return of the others, half a mile behind, and Mr. Robinson resigned the contest. Mr. Holmes was beat off Chiswick, and the race between the other two was admirably contested, both passing through Put. ney Bridge together. At Wandsworth Yellow shot a-head se veral boats' length, and the match was won cleverly at last by Mr. Hearne. RUNNING MATCH FOR UM SOVEREIGNS. Ashton, the Huntingdonshire runner, was matched against Field and West, 100 ROY. each, to run twenty miles over Ash down Two-mile Race Course on Monday.

DRURY•LANE THEATRE.—The above Theatre is undergoing considerable repairs, and, accord ing to report, from the extensive alterations and embellishments which will take place, the public may expect to see almost a new Theatre by the coinmetscernent of the season. No less than 20 additional carpenters were set to work in the Theatre yesterday, and the number of artists employed to exercise their genius for the amuse ment of the public is comparatively as great. BARTHOLOMEW FAlL—This scene of confu sion closed last night. It would be difficult to remember a worse fair than has been exhibited this year. It had scarcely commenced, when the beautiful clear weather fled, and drench. ing showers gave an increase to the ordinary filth of Smithfield.. The shows were neither numerous nor novel. The old fire-caters displayed their trickery, and the old mummers exposed their buffoonery, but without proving very attractive. The booths were but indifferently supplied, and less money than usual was expended. The concluding part of the even. ing was dreadfully wet, the ligntning flashed vividly, and the thunder was extremely loud. On Monday evening, about seven o'clock, a desperate set of ruffians, nearly opposite Saunders Theatre, attacked and robbed a vast number of per. sons in a manner almost as atrocious axat the memorable West End Fair. The men were deprived of their hats, watches and other property, by the gang, who to facilitate their operations caused a fight, anti then their work of plunder commenced. Several females were seized by the thieves, anti their bands and buckles from their waists, brooches, and every thing that came in their way, were forcibly taken from them. A young man, named Prendergast, seeing the females used so crully, endeavoured to assist them, but he was imme diately brought to the ground by a tremendous blew on the head with a bludgeon, and was left in a senseless state ; his hat and watch were instantly carried off by the gang. Notwithstanding the host of men that are employed on the City Police, not one was to be obtained, although many persons went about in quest of them, and the whole of this daring gang escaped with im punity. ZrnAn Counor, who has lately returned to this country, after a residence at twelve or fourteen years in Europe, is now on a visit to his mother in Cabot, Vermont.— He has proposed to open a school in that neighbourhood for a fe w months to give instruction in the various branches of English education, or in the French language.. We are in formed by the Montpellier Watchman, that be retains his ex traordinary power of arithmetical computation, and is able to explain his method of performing it, though he " cannot very conveniently place hi s h ea d upon anot h er man ' s s h ou ld ers, " and does not consider the process by which he obtains the re sults, which have excited so much surprise, adapted to com mon use.—(4mericati Paper.) SINGULAR OCCURRENCE. --On Thursday morn ing last a Gentleman having occasion to inspect the back pre mises of l'ilr. BtiT LE it, in Barrack -street, a l arge mastiff dog, who was chained in his kennel, suddenly darted towards the stranger, and broke his chain, the Gentleman thought pru dent to make an immediate retreat, but before he had time to wheel round, the dog stood erect on his hind feet, and placing his fore paws, one on each shoulder, absolutely pushed the Gentleman against the wall, and kept him for the space of a minute in that posture; he then commenced smelling his face and head, while the big drops of perspira. tion rolled off the forehead of the prisoner. The dog then re suming his natural position, and leaving the Gentleman un supported, he fell prostrate on the ground, from the effect of his terrific situation ; the suddenness of the fall frightened the dog to his house; and after some restoratives being ap plied; the Gentleman was able walk to home, fully determin ed never to explore unknown premises, without first asking, " Are you sure the big dog is not at home ?"—(Dublin Cor respondent, Sept. 4.) FATA L ACCIDENT IN A nit E-tSCAPE MACHINE. —An Inquest was held in the Middlesex Hospital, on the body of John Cooper, a young man, whose death was oc casioned by his falling out of a newly-invented machine for the purpose of facilitating the escape of individuals in case of fire. It appeared that the deceased and another per son were proceeding_ along the New-road, when they ob served the fire-machine opposite a house, at which many persons were looking. After stopping a short period, the deceased asked a person, who was selling books at a stall opposite the house, whether he might venture up the ladder? lie answered, "yes," and the deceased proceeded up the ladder, and on his arrival near the top, he looked down, and asked if he might get into the cradle, and he was answered in the affirmati ve . I n attempt i ng to get into it, after he had put one foot into the cradle, the whole of the machine overturned sideways with the deceased, who fell to the ground. The bookseller, whose name was Bowles, said, Mr. Gregory, the inventor, lodged in his house. lie had no idea that he would attempt to get into the cradle, and when he observed him trying to get in, he perceived the clanger to which he was exposed, and ran immediately to the rope which was fixed as a stay to the machine, but he was too late to prevent the accident, as the machine overturned, and the deceased was thrown out. No one had ever requested to ascend, nor was he authorised to suffer any one to go up by the pro prietor of the machine. He has seen many persons go un in the machine and slide clown without meeting with an ac cident. Mr. Gregory said, that the accident had occurred from the inexperience of the deceased, who ought to have adjusted the stay rope to make the cradle even and steady. Nothing, he added, but mismanagement could cause an accident with it. The .fury, after a long consultation, returned a verdict—" That . the deceased's death was accidental, and caused by neglect of clue caution on the part of all parties."—Mr. Gregory promised to defray the funeral expences of the deceased. The Discovery, in which, accompanied by the Resaution, Captain Coax made his last voyage, and which, after his death, February 14, 1779, at Owyhee, arrived at Sheerness Sept. Ist, 1780, is now the convict ship at Deptford. The inte rior has undergone considerable alterations to adapt it for the purpose, but the hull and exte rioraiinna'l state. in a state of pe r fect soundness, in alo m their r remain, POSTAGE ON NEWSPAPERS.

NEW QUESTION OP RIGHT.-111 the Polite Court, on Thursday, a raw youth charged his own wife, Whotrs he had married about ten months ago, with stealing his clothes, to prevent him, as she alleged, from running away from her. It was very true, he said, that he designed to go home to his father's, at some distance from the town ; " All the world knew how she had used him," and a separation had become necessary, since it was impossible to live with her. The wife, whose organ of combativeness made up her entire face, defended her conduct, and said that she had offered to restore him his wardrobe, if he would return home, and make proper concessions; to which he replied, that he was the head of his own house, and it was her d u ty to yi e ld to hint. Haviog delivered himsel f of those indisput a ble ax i oms , h e looked astonished at his own courage, and his wife's powers of speech were paralyzed for the momeat. But returning to the charge, she made an att a ck u p on hi s cont i nency, oh serving, he had been from home three nights running. The , Court remarked, that she ought to allow him a few indulgences. " He has been o'er muckle indulged," was the reply, " and that has tart him misken himself." rhe cool confidence of this assertion brought a hectic flush into the countenance of the coat, plainer, of fhis domestic who was habits andpreparingm i n se t rfittezr when the w h o e rl l d va w s it i h nt a er l r l l l l 7 ,tea ory by the Court's informing that a charge of theft by a m a n aga inst his wife was not competent, as all things were in common be. mem them. " Has a wife a right," he exclaimed "to keep her man's coat, waistcoat, and breeches ?" It was remarked that the last article in particular was one of which his wife seemed to be in the undoubted possession.—(Scotsman.). CORN EXCHANGE, SEPT. 8.
