We have received the Paris Papers of Friday and the Etoile of Saturday, and have given ex tracts from them in our preceding columns. The Most important article of their contents is an Ojai ision of the Etoile,not only that an insurrection b as broken out in Spain, but that that insurrection at to favou r of the Coristitution—that the insurgents have obtained possession of Tarifa', m.liere the Constitution was proclaimed by Oem,—that , they h ave attacked Estepona,—;and that an " te nsive conspiracy had been discovered in the cem of St. [toe!). The Etoile of course endea "rt to make light of these movements, and helre ourselv es di s p ose d t o apprehend that savers© fortunes of the Spanish Constitu tifttlists will not be benefited by the present attem pt. There is no saying, however, what "V be the progress and result of a civil war, however insignificant it may appear to be at its : 4 " l " n eacement ; and if the troubles of Spain bitte r ly no oth er e ff ect than that of making France uitterly lament her uncalled-for interference in the concerns of her neighbours, the Patriots of tli Peninsula will not bleed and suffer in vain. • 13 Y the Crisis, arrived at Portsmouth and the James Cro pper, arrived , at Liverpool, New York papers to newnewsthe Ist inst. have b een received. These journals contain no *lice* either f ro mPeru or M ex i co . F rom C araccas t h ey quote M. to the let of July. It will be recollected that when CUstisERIAI4. the French C omm i ss i oner to Colom bia, landed in March last et Laguayra, he brought a let ter from Count DortzELoT, the Governor of Martinique, written expressly for the p re ports urpose of co ntra di ct i ng t h e that Prance intended to assist Spain in recon (Meting her late trans-Atlantic possessions. The reply of General PArz, who had been absent on a journey into the interior, is now for the first time published, and is dsted the 12th of June. It states on his part, that he never could have believed the. French Government entertained an ide s so inconsistent with that neutrality which it had prescribed to itself from the commencement of the war. In proof of his sin reritY, PAEz adds, that the alarm alluded to never pre.. h\railed in Venezuela, the department under his command, respect g the sec ur i ty of which he had felt so much assured, that he ad b een traver s i ng t h e most distant provinces of the in terior during the last five months.

(.; iv .d l uny the Doke or cLoucEsTza ar. 13 agshot from Lulwortlk Castle, ALGIERS. (Prom the Hampshire Telegraph.) On Sunday afternoon last, his Majesty's steam vessel Light,/ 14 returned to this port, from Algiers. The fol lowing extract from a letter from an Officer supplies some inte resting particulars of the means taken to obtain the submission of the Dey to our demands : " ALGIERS ROAD, JULY 26.—The Lightning steam:. vessel parts company to-day, with the Admiral's dispatches, for England. I must acquaint you how disappointed we all are here at the termination of our affair with the Dey. On the 24th instant the last of the bomb-vessels arrived from Eng land, and every preparation being completed, we yesterday took up our stations (twenty-one sail), in a double line, before the town, at the distance of about 3,500 yards of the Light house—the Etna leading. The arrangements were excellently made, and our orders well defined ; and, so far, promised success. About four o'clock, on anchoring, the enemy opened their fire along their whole line of fortified works, by signal from the Palace: shells fell over our ships in all directions ; we had no orders to fire, but we perceived that our Admiral hoisted a flag of truce, upon which the enemy's firing ceased; negocia Lions were opened, which were continued until the evening, and this morning the treaty was concluded and signed. The Admiral of the Port, and some of the Chiefs, went on board the Re venge, to ratify the treaty with Mr. tacdonald. A salute has been fired in celebration of the event by the city . of Algiers, and returned by the same number of guns by the Admiral's ship, the Revenge. We understand the Dey has made something like an apology to the King of England, for the insult offered to the British Consul's flag, has agreed to faithfully observe all the terms in the Exmouth treaty, and consented that Mr. Mac denald, the ConSul, shall return to his public duty. But, having accompanied his expressions of personal disposition re . stinting Mr. Macdonald, with a declaration of irresponsibility for his life, should he put his foot on shore again, that gentle man has not thought proper, for the present, to resume his sta tion ; but Mr. Durnford, the Secretary's Clerk of the Revenge (1111. Sconce, the Secretary, having declined the honour), has been appointed Pro-Consul, ad interim. The result is, that Mr. Macdonald will return to Malta in the Revenge. The bombs were all ready to commence firing, had the treaty not been signed." . " The only preceding act of aggression that has occurred was on the 12th, when Sir Harry Neale, with the Active, Sy bille, Phaeton, Euryalus, Naiad, and Lightning steam-vessel, anchored in the Bay. In the evening the Admiral's tender, the Ram, commanded by Mr. James Irwin, Midshipman, of that ship. having, owing to light breezes and a heavy swell, fallen to leeward, about 30 of the enemy's gun-boats advanced boldly, with the intention of cutting her off. They opened a heavy fire, as did the batteries at the same time with shot and shells, on the ships, and a mutual cannonade of an hour a n d a half was kept up, when the gunboats hauled off, alight air having enabled 'the tender to get out of gunshot. The sight was truly pictur esque, and quite ennobling to witness the excellent management and undaunted courage of the little bark. The conduct of her commander is deserving of the highest commendatory notice.— The tender had not a man hurt, indeed the only shot that fell into either ship struck the paddle-box of the Lightning, and this is the only one that struck us during the cannonade. The Alger- Inc Admiral has acknowledged that the cutter's fire alone pre vented him from capturing her, as her shot struck several of the boats, but the shot from the squadron went over him.— They attacked her so furiously, on the supposition she was a fire vessel. In this instance the Revenge's round stern most fully . answered its promised purpose : she was towed in by the steam-boat to cover the tender, and bringing her stern to bear, she presented so small an object that the Algerines never hit her, while she kept. up an incessant formidable fire. The Algerines tried the effect of a fire from nearly 7011 guns anti 30 mortars, but only one shell went over the line. The fortifica tions are now proof against any cannonade from shipping, and some of the 42-pounder batteries are manned with French and Spanish Constitutionalists who have been driven from Spain." 'Die Lightning, which has arrived at Portsmouth, left Sir Harry Neale in the Bay of Algiers on the 27th ult. in the -Re venge, with the whole of the squadron, viz. Active, Sybille, Phaeton, Euryalus, Naiad, Ranger, Cyrene, Weazle, and Al gerine ; the bombs Terror, /Etna, Meteor, anti Infernal ; Mortar vessels, Hamoaze, Falmouth, and Goodwill ; transports, Admiral Berkely and Industry ; and [lacer and Express; ten ders. Orders had been given for the whole of the squadron to return to England, except the Revenge, Sybille, Euryalus, Naiad, and Weazle, and the Racer and Express tenders. The Lightning had a very long passage. owing to strong foul winds. She touched at Gibraltar on the 30th July, and sailed the same day , : no ship of war lying there. On the Bth August she was obliged to put into Lisbon to obtain a supply of coals, which being obtained (though of bad quality), sit e put io rt t i o A s m ea e ll i g u a s iil l o ca n u . t c h i e er l i :i w th a , s a l n y t i g n i t n 'ou t c le d?) ., : a s gu m s, ad i e n tle e ,yj i a n r: i : sor Castle, with the Ocean, Genoa, and Lively. INnIA.—It is generally understood that the Court of Directors have appointed The Honour able Mo NTST UA RT ILPII NSTON to the PEP. bidency of Madras ; and it is to be preinmed, from the high Character of this distinguished in dividual, that he will be approved of by the Board of Controul ; but who is to be his Suc cessor at Bombay is not yet known. It is thought that Mr. LUSIIINGTON will succeed to that Pre sidency, but, after the recent collisions which have taken place between the Government and the Court of Directors respecting these and other appointments, it is difficult to anticipate with probable certainty who will be appointed to them. JOUN BULL.--•The Editor of this Paper, it few weeks since, amused himself in pointing out the inadvertent errors of some of his Contemporaries, and therefore it is not unfair to notice some of his own, especially those which are not errors of the Press. In the Bull of yesterday there is an egregious blunde►, which, from Bull's connexions, and frequent residence in Hampshire, should not have appeared, it being well known that there is not such a county as " the County of Hampshire." Yet it is so !lined by Bull, although the youngest boy at Hyde Abbey. School would have told him it is " 4 the County of Southampton," or, as it is sometimes called, " the County of Hants." This allusion to Hyde Abbey School will probably re. mind Bull of the risk he ran at his last visit to that celebrated end eminent seminary of learn ing. The other error in Bull of yesterday is of the Press—for 66 W. J. JOLLIFFE, ,Esquire," it should be " The Reverend W. J JOLLIFFE." It is somewhat curious that JOHN BULL, in his leading article of yesterday, animadverting upon the seditious tendency of two pamphlets, written by a man who styles himself GEORGE HALE, has nevertheless introduced long citations from both of those pamphlets. If .John Bit ll had not esta blished his character for loyalty, it might be thought that he was " playing booty," and desirous of spreading those very doctrines, and exciting those military insurrections, which he affects to reprobate and abhor. At all events John Bull spews but little wisdom in giving cir culation to principles which have a very dan gerous tendency on vulgar and unrellccting minds. We should have expected more sagacity from Bull than thus to have run his horns into an absurdity. Extract of a-letter, dated Batavia, March 12 : •—" The annual Japan ship arrived here a few weeks since, bringing cargoes of their useless wares, besides large quantities of camphor and copper for Government, and among other ar ticles, several Mermaids, similar to the one sent to England about a year since. These I have seen, and they really are remarkably well manu factured ; but I never should have thought them any thing more than artificial. The prices were from 20 dollars to 100 dollars, according to size." THE KING. WINDSOR, Atm. 22.

On Monday afternoon last, his Grace the Duke of WEL LINGTON' arrived at Portsmouth, and proceeded to the Dock Yard, to join his friends, the Right Hon. Charles and Mrs. Arbuthnutt, and Sir Robert Arbuthnott, who had previously landed from Cowes, and, accompanied by Sir James Alexander Gordon, K.C.B. were taking a survey of the block machinery, Bce. It was his Grace's intention to make the visit iucog. but being recognized, his arrival on board the Victory (the flag-ship of Admiral Sir,George Martin, 0.c.u.) was announced by a salute of nineteen guns, and his landing in the Garrison, by a similar honour, from the platform battery. His Grace after wards took a hasty survey of the lines of the garrison ; during which a fine trait of military discipline was shewn by a soldier of the Royal Marine Artillery, who, though the person of the Noble Duke had been pointed out to him, on seeing him ad vance upon the lines to look over into the ditch, instantly pro ceeded to warn the Master-General of the Ordnance oil, and which order•was as promptly obeyed as It was given. His Grace and friends set off in the evening for the seat of Mr. Gar flier, near Wickham. Mr. Arbutlinott is engaged on a survey of the New Forest, as one of his Majesty's Commissioners of Woods and Forests, The Berlin Gazelle of the 4th last., says— " Yesterday being the Anniversary of his Majesty's liirtit.day, the same was observed in the most loyal and becoming way by all classes of his Majesty's subjects in this city. There were numerous dinner parties, both private and public,—say at the Schools, the University, the Academy of Sciences, &c. And in the evening at the theatre here, as well as at Charlottenburg l Odes for the occasion were recited to the great gratification of the respective audiences. At Hamburgh, too,. (according to a letter from that city) his Excellency Count vox OncerE, his Majesty's resident Minister for Lower Saxony, celebrated the auspicious day by a grand entertainment in the evening to about % Individuals of the first distinction. His Excellency also or dered a substantial good dinner for the entertainment of 54 in valids belonging to the Hanseatic Legion—(this number in re ference to the age of the King, who that day completed his 54th year.)—lt is unnecessary to add, that these poor fellows en. jnyed themselves to the utmost, quaffing many a glass to the health of his Majesty of PRUSSIA, and his truly noble hearted representative at Hamburg, the Count TON GROTE." ' P r 6 % • ss fir" " • ' - J r 0 • N• • • olf THE THEATRE. ITAYMAIIRET.—The plvasant little Farce en titled Of Age To-morrow, originally introduced on the stage by Mrs. C. K ustaLE, was the first piece on Saturday. The second drama was The Beggar's Opera ; but previously Mr. Flit IZ EN came for ward to apologize for the unavoidable absence of Miss PATON, who was to perform the hart of Polly, ou account of illness, confirming the state ment by a certificate from her medical attendant. He then stated that a young Lady who had pre pared herself for the part of Polly would under take it, with the consent of the audience. This consent was readily accorded, and when the fair noviciate 'appeared she was greeted with much applause. She displayed great timidity at first, but recovered, and went through the part at least respectably. 'ln the duet, "Oh ! Polly, you Might," &c. &c., she acquitted herself so well • that she was encored, and was favourably re ceived during the whole of her,performance. Her name is said to be HOLM Es. Why is Mrs. VES TRIS absurdly continued in the part of Mac heath? Nothing can be more ludicrous than to see such a dapper dandy in appearance at the head of a band of ruffians. As well might a cockchafer conspire with a hawk. Why is not MELROSE put into the part ? Ile is respectable both as a singer and an actor, and his figure is well calculated for it. We hope that the Managers of all our Theatres will, on reflection, be co►►vinced that they ought not to assign male characters to females, unless the drama requires the assumption of virile attire by females, in conformity to the fable. No in terest can be excited by the appearance of a woman in a male character, but on the contrary it is revolting to delicacy, particularly to the female part of the audienCe. LORD BYRON'S PORTRAIT. BRUSSELS, AUG. 19.---One of our countrymen, lately returned from Italy, has received a letter from that coun try, Informing him that a Greek artist, of the name of Pezzanes, has just finished a picture representing Lord Byron after his death. The artist,. it seems, saw the illustrious Defender of Greece just after he expired, made a drawing, and painted a picture from it in Italy, while his imagination was still inspired by this interesting subject. This work is going to be landed in one of our ports to be exhibited, and then sent to London, where it will doubtless excite great interest. As it is to be ex hibited in the principal cities of Europe, we hope we shall also have the pleasure of beholding the features of the first Poet of the age, and of paying a tribute of respect to tile generous defender of the Greeks. A Correspondent, referring to a letter which appeared in The Morning Chronicle last week, respecting the placing an iron fence railing in the Green'Park, to prevent the public from passing as heretofore, and at the same time insinuating an incroachment on the Green Park to a Royal In habitant, desires us to state, that the reason for placing the iron fence railing alluded to, is merely to allow the grass to increase on that corner of the Park, which had become a mud-swamp, oc casioned by the CQW3 collecting together on the spot. A respite for another week for Harris and Davis has been forwarded to Hertford Gaol from the - Home Department. P 0 E T It Y. SAUL. AND JONATHAN.' • [FOR THE INDIAN GAZETTE.' MIL. EDITOR.—The lamentation of the sweet Psalmist of Israel over SAUL and JONATHAN has-always struck me, for its mournful beauty and tenderness, as the finest tribute. ever paid to departed 'friendship. If you think the following paraphrase has any merit, and if the subject is not too serious for the pages of a Newspaper, you can, perhaps, find a corner for it. • Yours, A YOUNG SOLDIER. Nagpoor, Jan. 13, 1814. Faint are the mighty—lsrael's beauty sleeps, And mourning Judah for her ruler weeps Fall'n are the mighty—lost the victor wreath, The King. the Lord's annointed rests in death, The mighty monarch who all Israel sway'd, Whom distant regions honour'd and obey'd • Unhappy fate—unworthy of the brave, Wants the cold honours of a warrior's grave. Relate it not in Amiteion or Gath, Lest it excite the Gentile's scornful laugh, Lest the proud daughters of Philistia sing The song of triumph o'er our fallen King. And thou, oh ! Gilboa, who hast brav'd sublime The 'raging tempest and encroaching time, Let no moist clew on thee be thenceforth found, Nor kindly rain refresh the thirsty ground. There lies the shield that Israel's Monarch bore, And there the fields arc drencli'd with regal gore. Daughters of Israel, rend the hair and weep O'er those who now in cold oblivion sleep: No more to deck you shall the warriors toil With proud Philistia and Amalek's spoil, Swift as the Eagle darts upon his prey, Strong as the Lion they did urge their way. Oft where the combat rag'd with fiercest glow, The son of Saul did twang his deadly bow ; Oft in the taunting foe by Ileavin ahhor'd, The gallant father sheath'd his crimson sword; Rut never will the gallant chiefs again Descend in terrors on the deathful plain. Fall'n is the mighty sire, and mightier son Their race of glory is for ever run. Oh ! Jonathan, my brother and my friend, My love for thee shall never, never end ; Tender'a the love the bridegroom bears the bride, Who but an hour has grac'd his youthful side; Strong's the affection that a father bears Towards his duteous and his blooming heirs. The mother loves the babe upon her knee, But not, oh Johnathan, as I lov'd thee. Oh ! may we see die warm, the friendly glow, Renew'd above, which we began below. Fall'n are the mighty lost the victor wreath, For Saul and Jonathan both sleep in death. A YOUNG SOLDIER. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. YORK AUGUST MEETING, 1024. FRIDAY, AUG. 20.

The races this day were particularly/ good, and we were much matiiied by the appearance of a little boy riding one of the ponies for the ladies' Cup. His name is Davy, son of Davy, a famous jockey; he is only ten years' of age, and weighs forty-two pounds. He appears a mere child, and ma nages his horse with the greatest dexterity. . 'We understand he has been in the habit of riding at different races for the last three years, and has won several plates. The ground was in very good order, and the whole of the arrangements were con ducted with propriety. .The sports passed wlthout any unplea sant occurrence, with the solitary exception of the following accident :—A woman, with a child in her arms, was knocked dowx by one of the tanning horses whilst crossing the Course. The name of the woman was Gray, and when taken up she was found to have her collar bone broken. The child belonged to Mrs. Weston, of Thames-street, and was thrown some distant/:, but only received a few bruises. The Princess AUGUSTA arrived at her residence at Frogmore on Saturday, from l3agshot, where her Royal Highness hod been remaining on a visit to the Duchess of GLOUCESTER during the ab sence of the Royal Duke.

She sailed from Three Rivers (in Prince Edward Island) on the 25th day of December last, for LiVerpool, G.B. and was seen passing Cheticaw (C a p e ' Breton) on the even ing of the 127th, and it is most probable she run on shore that •mght on St. Paul's island (a desolate island opposite Cape North in Cape Breton). From the currency of several reports from the adja cent shores of the wreck of a brig on that island, a small vessel was dispatched from the house'of Messrs. M'liay's (the owni•rs) which returned on Tuesday last with the most conclusive proof - of the fatal loss. The wreck of the Jessie lies.within 200 yards of the South-west point of the island, and on the West side of, the point, eleven bodies were discovered about half a mile front the wreck ; among whom were 'recognized Donald APKay, Esq., Mr. Forbes (a merchant of Miramichi), and Captain M'.tlpine, who were lying together. It would appear that they must ave perished from the severity of the weather, as some provisions were found. The passengers Who left Three Rivers in the Jessie, Captain M'Aipme, were Donald M'Kay, Esq , Mr. Forbes, Mr. John Lowe, :Mrs. Williams (wife of Mr. John Williams), and two of her family. The loss of each individual is sincerely to be deplored, but the blank which Mr. - M'Key leaves will be severely felt by every person in this island, and indeed all who bad the happiness of knowing him. The excel lence of his whole character, the kindness and benevolence of his disposition, and his affable and truly gentlemanlike manners will be long remembered—no man perhaps ever possessed a warmer or more feeling heart, or enjoyed a greater share of the good will of 'mankind.—A schooner left this town yesterday to bring some of the bodies here for interment, and on her return we hope to be enabled to give more detailed prticulars. " }Attract of a letter, dated Sydney, June 11 :—' A fishing vessel has lately returned to Margaree from St. Paul's Island, off Cape North,• where they discovered eleven .dead bodies of persons lying in a tent on the island, supposed to have perished from cold and starvation, as there appeared signs of their having lived on each other.'

The arrivals of most descriptions of Grain last week were moderate. This morning there are only middling quantities of all sorts of Grain fresh up. Prime dry samples of 'Wheat are freely bought up at rather more money than last Monday, but all other qualities still remain in a dull state. In Barley there is very little business doing, and prices are unaltered.— Beans sell heavily, and are rather lower. Pease of both kinds are unaltered. The fraudulent London returns for the sixth week being admitted, has had the effect of opening the ports for a general importation of Foreign Oats : This has so stag nated the trade that very few sales of this article can be effbct ed, although altered at a reduction of 2s. to 3s. per qr.
