Our Readers are aware that a negociation has theon*lntcluded for a Loan to the 13razils. As we kno w .fro * s undeniable sources of information tha tt l 43 measure will be very strongly protested Against by Portugal, and that a strong expedition hos been for sorne time preparing in Lisbon, we would advise the public to look to the securities for this Loan. It is truly l amen t a bl e t o see t h e n Y i 'lllY With which British Capitalists are en tangled in the cobweb security of so many Poreign Loa ns. It Is with heartfelt grief that we have to an %Mice, se soon after the expression of our doubts . 4 1 to the reality of the capture of Ipsara by the elprAtrs PAcn*, that this melancholy intelli gence has already been confirmed from so many 'different quarters as to leave little or no doubt of its truth. The 'various accounts, however, are sacontratlictory, as to justify a faint hope that the calamity is not so very great as most of them /*present it, and that in fact the principal Greek families had previously evacuated the islands ta.king %with them the public treasure, and farltsps abandoning little that could be of b ' i y real value to the conquerors. We allow sh(hit od" 47 hope o f t hi s kind rests on vary foundations ; but we are willing, in H°ll thing relating to the fate of a heroic an d !faring people, to cling to every circumstance 40 promises favourable results; and as the 411 rereot versions of the fall of Ipsara speak so .4 "nsisteatly of the conduct of its inhabitants, ind of the way in which the conflict terminated b"hich their fate was decided, it is not en tifilly improbable that all the accounts are 1143 Perfect,, and may have omitted the notice of 4 / 1 1 1 Particulars calculated in some degree to *taken the disastrous force of the principal fact, /i s• the reduction of the island. The Smyrna , l i ee"inta state that the C APTAIN P ACIIA ma d e 'e attack with 14,000 men, and with so much inlPetuosity, that the islanders offered little or no resistance.

A good many vessels in the port are said to have escaped.— Thus is the first attacked, and one of the islands said to be . amongst the most formidable, fallen nearly without a struggle, I fully calculate that this is the forerunner of other successes on the part of the Turks." EXTRACT or A LETTER FROM SMYIIXA, DATED JULY 6. " We have later and more detailed accounts from Ipsara. It appears that all the fire-ships, and about 10 or 12 armed Greek vessels, were burnt by the Turks, and that 18 or l 0 of the latter struck their colours, and had the Turkish colours flying when the last accounts came away. About 10 or 12 of the best Greek vessels, with the richer Greeks on board, and their families, and it is said the public treasure, escaped at the commencement of the attack, without fighting at all, telling their betrayed countrymen that they were going to attack the Turks in another quarter of the island, to cause a diversion. The Fart of St. Nicolo, with a handful of men in it, was blown up by the Turks on Sunday morning. The Turkish fleet will go next to Samoa, which will most likely be attacked in a few dais. P.S. The island of Samos has sent in its submission ; and expresses have been sent into Constantinople, and to the Gap. tarn Pachas's fleet, to announce the event. A tatar passed through here this morning bearing the express." EXTRACT OF A LETTER DATED TRIESTE, JULY 27. he island of Ipsara, a little north-west of Scio, has been attacked by the Turks: this was a small place, but the inha bitants were considered able mariners, and brave determined men, whom the Musselmen resolved to extirpate. After a des perate resistance, which is stated to have cost the Turks 15,000 men, the place being strong, they succeeded in goiving pos session of tt. The surviving Ipsariots resolving not to let their wives and daughters fall into the power of their foe, mindful of the fate of Scio, assembled the remaining population in the fort, and blew themselves up, involving multitudes of their conquerors in their destruction. The islanders, about 8,000 or 10,000 persons, were thus all destroyed by the sword, or their own act in this tragedy." (From the Etoile, dated Monday, Aug. 9.) • PAnes, AUG. B..—.it was to be presumed that if the mehtn. choly news of the taking of *lpsara by the Turks was authentic, the Austrian Observer would soon confirm it. In fact, we find the following account in its number of the 29th of July : " Constantinople, July 15. " An officer of the Captain Paella, who arrived yesterday in this capital, brought the agreeable news of the taking of the important island of Ipsara by that Admiral. " It is already known thm the number of brass guns, mor. tars, &c. which he has taken, is nearly 200, and the number of the vessels of all descriptions , and small, above 100. There are 28 which are so completely equipped and armed that they will immediately accompany the Turkish fleet in its cruise.— Three large corvettes were on the stocks. " Before the attack the Captain Pacha had proposed to the Ipsariots an entire amnesty, on the sole condition of their giving up some chiefs of the insurrection, and paying the capitation tax at the end of the year on the ancient footing. " After the taking of Ipsara the Captain Pacha proceeded against Samos." - The Augsburg Gazette of the 3d of August contains a letter from Odessa of the 20th of July, which contains the same news. It is observed in this letter, that the Ipsariots could not accept the amnesty, knowing that in the language of the Turks am nesty and massacre are synonymous terms. The example of Scio proved this.—The greatest joy (adds the writer of the let ter) prevails at Constantinople. It is feared that this event may have an influence on the diplomatic relations of the Otto man Porte. We have received papers from New York to the 16th, and from Philadelphia to the 14th ult. The following are extracts:— " NE W YORK, JULY le. [From Me Philadelphia Aurora.] " COLOMBIA.—We have been favoured with a file of Bogota papers to the 6th of June inclusive. The Government was wide awake to the intention of the Holy Alliance, and had adopted the moat energetic measures to oppose any invasion that might be attempted. The following bill passed both Houses of Congress, and received the Vice-President's sanction on the 6th of May : " The Senate and House of Representatives of Colombia, considering— " Ist, That peace has not yet crowned the efforts of our arms, notwithstanding they have driven the enemy from the whole territory of the Republic ; "2d, That the re-establishment of an absolute Government in Spain leaves us no Nye to expect its acknowledgment of the independence of these countries and him colonies,—have de. creed— " Art. 1.

" JULY 10. " A passenger in the schooner Mary Ann, arrived just as our paper was going to preaft, from Alvarado, informs us, that a French brig was ca pt ure d by the pirates off Alvarado bar, and was re-captured by the Mexican schooner Analwc.— The captain and crew of the French brig were landed on the coast, and were on their way to Alvarado. The public mind was greatly agitated at Alvarado, on hearing that Iturbide was on his way to that place from England. IIALTIMOTIE. JULY 10. " By the schooner Noel, Captain Snow, arrived at this port yesterday in 28 days from Tampico„ we learn at the time of her sailing no intelligence of political movement had been re ceived from the interior. The United States' ship John Adams was there, to sail for Vera Cruz in four or five days, and the United States' schooner Pox, to sail for New Orleans in eight days. The Noel brought home the mate, two men, and a boy, belonging to the late schooner, Racer, of Philadelphia, cast away on Tampico bar on the 21st May. " JuLT 9. " Important intelligence repersenting the designs of Spain on her lute Colonies, has to-clay reached us by the arrival of the Colombian armed brig Agnila, Capt. Cottrell, in 14 days from La Guayra. We shall state what has been politely commu nicated to us by Capt. Cottrell. " Ile had been cruising off Cadiz for a considerable time, and sailed from thence on the 4th May, at which period there were in that harbour, of Spanish, one 64, one frigate, anti one brig of twar • of French, one 74, two frigates, and one or two brigs of ' war. The three Spanish vessels were exercised daily, frequently running down with A fair wind to the bar and warp ing up. Captain Cottrell understood from prisoners he made from time to time, and from neutrals, with wheals he spoke, that the object of this kind of naval exercise was to snake sailors and prepare them for an expedition against South Ame rica. It was reported to him from various quarters that the men on board the Spanish ships served with great reluctance, that they had been forced into the service, and were severely treated ; prisoners and neutrals agreed in • this statement. There were few it any Spanish troops in Cadiz, the place was ga rrisoned by the French ; and all reports from the shore agreed in stating, that 40,000 additional troops from France were expected to enter Spain. There was a considerable number of merchant. men in the harbour capable of being easily converted into trans. ports, to carry a large amount of troops ; but so far as could be ascertained, there were no troops, except French. The expe tlition spoken off was said to be destined for the Pacific. " Information of much importance was obtained by Captain Cottrell the day subsequent to.leaving his station off Cadiz, the whole of which we are • not permitted to publish ; but the following arc ii few of the particulars : " On the sth of May he .came up with the Sardinian brig Themislocles bound from Havannah to Gibraltar and Genoa; on nearing her, he observed a paper package floating a-stern, when lie sent out a boat and secured it. On examination, he discovered what was sufficient to awaken his suspicions. Ne immediately boarded the brig, and after a diligent search found himself in possession of dispatches from the Havannah to the Spanish Government, with official, letters from General Mo rales, anti one from the General to his sister In Spain. This was a prize more valuable than gold or silver. The letters con tained a detailed plan of a combined expedition from Havannah and Cadiz, proposed to be against one of the South American States, enumerating . such points as the General conceived to be vulnerable, and designating such persons on the proposed the atre of war as the Spanish Government could confide in and correspond with. We have not permission to go further in the statement, but the importance of the fact we have communi cated is obvious." TIM THEATRE. TIAYMARKET.-A new comic Opera was last night brought. forth at this Theatre, under the title of The Alcaid, or The Secrets of Office. CHARACTERS. Don Christopher Toxado - Felix - - Don Andreas de Caravajol Peciroso . Gregorio - Juan Tortillo Jabez First Servant Donna Theresina Rosabel - Donna Francisca argaretta G lame tt - Mr. W.

Servants, Masks, &c. PLOT. . - _ _ . . _ _ - - . . " The business of this Opera arises nut of the irregularities which occur in the family of Don Christopher, the Alcaid, a very self-sufficient personage, who belieVes that nothing can escape his observation, and who considers his wife, his son, his mete, and himself, to furnish " a constellation of virtue, not to be equalled in all Spain." But the wife who can only find pleasure in obedience, de,ires to go to a masquerade, which the Aleaid wishes her not to viii. She and her niece are enabled to go by the connivance of a faitlyid Secretary, who is as great a paragon in his way, as the other individuals, who are so many ingredients in the D on ' s cup o f bliss. Some embarrassment arises out of the masquerading as the Lady loses the key of her chambers, and cannot regain her apartment without being seen. The Don's suspicion is roused by seeing the wife and niece in their evening finery at an early hour in the morning; but the Secretary Pedroso, who lies for the whole dramatis personae, gets them out of the scrape by pretending they had resolved on celebrating the Akaid's birth-day a month before it arrives. The same story accounts for the sudden appearance of the son who was supposed to be studying at Salamanca, but who has been detained by a love affair at no great distance from the re sidence of his father. Both son and niece ,brise their hearts where it was not the intention of the Akaid to see them be stowed ; but after a good deal of contusion, concealment, and discovery, he is reconciled to the choice which they make for themselves, and two additions are suppli e d b y marriage to this exemplary family,,with a fair prospect of a further increase." To Mr. KENNY, le whom the Public are in debted for many amusing dramatic works, is this Opera attributed. Our Competitors in the Morning Papers have treated the piece with more critical severity than could reasonably be, expected, considering that this Theatre has ge-' nerally been the receptacle of light compositions suited to the summer season. If the Alkaid is not equal to the former dramas, of Mr. KENNY, it is yet by no means devoid of interest or amuse ment. The main, point, in which the Alcaid forms a favourable conception of all the persons comprized in his family, and connected with it,. and which is in total 'opposition to their habits, follies, and vices, affords a diverting contrariety, and the illustration of his mistakes, in the conduct of the plot, as they all act in perpetual contra diction to his expectations, while he continues in the sante kind of delusion, heightens the general interest, and keeps the audience in a state of sus pence that induces them to look with some anxiety towards the development, when he is to be undeceived, and to know the real disposition of those in whom he had reposed a full conviction of their respective virtues. This state of sus pense fully answers the purpose of Comedy, and is very ingeniously sustained. The dia logue is generally marked by that equivoque, spirit, and smartness, by which the productions of Mr.K EN NY have hitherto been characterized ; and, as we attend a Summer Theatre for temporary entertainment rather than- to indulge in critical spleen, we doubt not that the Public will be of our opinion, and that the new Opera will receive that countenance to which its inherent merit and the general excellence of the acting entitle it.— The !mese 'twos lull, and Ombra was liltls opPosi lion, except to one scene or incident, which, of course, will he omitted in the future representa tion. Thy Music was composed by Mr. NATHAN. It is sprightly, and suitable to the words, and if some passages remind us of other compositions, we should consider the diffictilty of avoiding all similitude, and of displaying pure originality iu any works of this description. The Victoria, Captain FORBES, has arrived in the River, having sailed from Morant flay, Ja maica, on the 22d of June. The Captain states, that tranquillity had been restored in Hanover, and in the adjacent parishes. By letters received from Havre, it appears, that the Hay tian Deputies are about to leave France immediately, having abandoned all hopes of prevailing on the French Government to re: cognize the independence of St. Domingo. Advices have been received from Maranham to the 27th of June. The peace of the place had not, we understand, been disturbed since the sanguinary commotions which broke out in the beginning of the month. The public mind seemed to be settling down into a state of tran quillity._ _ By a Danish ship of war advices were received yesterday from the island of St. Thomas, dated the 14th of July. This vessel is stated to have sailed four days subsequently to the packet, which has not yet arrived, but brings no news of importance. All was quiet at Laguayra on the 30th of June. By accounts from Bogota, dated May 27, it was stated, that the Colombian Go. verninent had drawn bills on Mr. HURTADO, to the amount of 50,0001., in anticipation of money to be raised in this country. Intelligence of his contract could not have reached Bogota. [Extract of a letter, dated Zante, July G.] : W e h a v e th e ple a sure to say, that the advice, front all quarters are of the most satisfactory nature, as respects the affairs of Greece. The Government is completely re-established, and in quiet posses sion of Napoli di Romania. Colo c otroni, and the other Chiets ; and it app e ars to us , thatvm are opposed theyareo to nlyin it, w ha an y t e tedorsuthbemntit manes, or even som e p ar t o f it, to enable them to take very decisive measures of defence against the threatened attacks of the Turks by sea and land. By a vessel arrived from Hydra, we hear that the Greek aqua dron was ready for sea, they having raised a temporary loan for that purpose." MANUFACTURED Goons.—By an edict issued at Batavia on the 14th of February last, it is ordered, that " all woollen and cotton goods, the manufacture of countries to the westward of the Cape of Good Hope, imported direct from such places, in foreign or Netherlands bottoms, after the date of this edict, sh a ll p ay a d uty o f 25 p er cent. ad va l orem, at the time imported ; and if imported from any of the f ore i gn settlements to the eastward of the Cape, a duty of 35 per cent. The Ocean, Maimig, from New South Wales, has arrived in the Downs. She left the colony only a short time subsequent to the late arrival, and brings no intelligence of interest, beyond the assurance of the settlement being in a healthy and highly flourishing state. The number of inhabitants was daily increased by the arrival of settlers from this country and Scotland, many of whom are persons of great respectability. Sir JOIIN NEWPORT has canvassed Waterford very actively (luring the week. TIM KING, &c. WINDSOR, Auoti ST 10.—We feel great pleasure in stating that the KING continues in excellent health and spirits, and that he daily enjoys his favourite diversion of driving. Yes terday and this day his Majesty left the Royal Lodge, attended by the Marquis Conyngham, in the pony phaeton, and drove for nearly three hours in the most retired parts of _the Great Park. Yesterday her Royal Highness the Princess Augusta left Frogniore for Bagshot on a visit to her Royal Sister, the Duchess of Gloucester. On Saturday last Lord 13cresford ar rived on a visit to his Majesty, and left yesterday at one o'clock for London.

When evening listened to the dripping oar, Forgetting the loud city's ceaseless roar, By the green banks, where Thames, with conscious pride Reflects that stately structure on his side, NVithin whose walls, as their long labours close, The wanderers of the ocean find repose, We wore in social ease the hours away, The passing visit of a summer's day. While some to range the breezy hill are gone, .1 lingered on the river's merge alone, Illintaed with groups of ancient sailors grey, And watched the last bright sunshine steal away. As thus I mused amidst the various train - Of toil-worn wanderers of the perilous main, Two sailors--well I marked them (as the beam Of parting day—yet lingered on the stream, And the sun sunk behind the shady reach,)-- Hastened with tottering footsteps to the beach. The one had lost a limb in Nile's dread fight ; Total eclipse had veiled the other's sight • For ever! as I drew more anxious near, I stood intent, if they should speak, to hear; But neither said a word !—he who was blind, Stood as to feel the comfortable wind That gently lifted his grey hair—his face Seemed then of a faint smile to wear the trace. The other fixed his gaze upon the light, Parting, and when the sun had vanished quite, Alethought a starting tear that Heaven might bless, Unfelt, or felt with transient tenderness, Came to his aged eves and touched his cheek ! And then as meek and silent as before, Back hand in hand they went and left the shore. As they departed thiough the unheeding crowd, A caged bird sung from the casement laud, And then I heard alone that blind man say, ' The music of the bird is sweet to-day.' I said 0 heavenly Father none may know The cause these have for silence or for woe !' Were they appear heart-stricken and resigned Amidst the unheeding tumult of mankind. There is a world—a pure unclouded clime, Where there is neither grief, nor death, nor time ! Nor loss of friends! Perhaps when yonder bell Beat slow, and bade the dying d a y f arewe ll ; Ere yet the glimmering landscape sunk to night They thought upon that world of distant light ! And when the blind man lifting light his hair, Felt the faint wind, he raised a warmer prayer, Then sighed, as the blithe bird sung o'er his head, ' No morn will shine on me till I am dead !' NORWICH, AV G. 11.—Sir 0E011111: SMART arrived in this city on ‘Vetinesday last, and proceeded to inspect the works now in progress in St. Andrew's Hall. In the evening he attended the weekly meeting of the Choral Society, which was very numerously attended, nearly eighty performers being present. —Several charusses of Handel, Haydn, Mozart, and Orlando Gibbons were executed in a stile to ca ll forth the warm com mendation of Sir George, who was pleased to speak in the highest terms of the attention and correctness of the band.— It perhaps may not be known to the generality of our readers that the chorusses intended to be performed at the Grand Musical Festival next month, for the benefit of the Norfolk and Norwich Hospital, have been in regular practice once and frequently twice in the week, ever since December last; and we understand, in addition to several established favourites, some compositions of Handel, Haydn. and Mozart, which have never been performed here, will be introduced into the selection. Sir HUMPHREY DAVY, President of the Royal society, was, at the keginning of this month, at Copanhagen. The Tribunal of the First Instance at NistneS has sentenced to six days' imprisonment, and a fine, a Catholic woman, for having insulted one of the pastors of the Reformed Church, while in the performance of his functions to her hus band, a Protestant, who was at the point of death. On the 25th ult. the 300th Anniversary of the d a y when 141Awrxx LUTHER first preached as a Reformer, in St. John's Church, Magdeburg, was celebrated in that city.— The new Prussian Litany was then used for the first time.

This long iitigaled enure tens ngain brought under the notice of the Court, on the petition of Mrs. Johnson and Mrs. Newton, the tenants fur life, praying a reversal of the order made by his Honour the Vice-Chancellor, by which a receiver was appointed of the estates in Scotland as well as of those in England. The present petition prayed that the case might be referred to the Master, and that the peti tioners might be allowed to raceive out the clear fund then in the 'Court., The question in this ca-se is, whether the Scotch Estates are liable to the charges of repairs and cer tain purchases, which on the part of the Trustees, it was con tended, had been made for the benefit of the este e. This was met by an allegation that there had been received no less a sum than 9,8421., and that the yearly income of the property amounted to no less than 1,6231. per annum. From the pleadings it appeared that the rents of the Scotch estates had been applied to the general purposes of the estate, whereat they did not pass by the will i n any other way than to the la diesin question, one of who m i s t he wife of Dr. Johnson, as tenants for life, and that they were entitled to the whole pro ceeds of them as a clear estate. Lord GIFFORD reversed the former order, so far as granting the inquiry by the master as to where anti how the respective estates were situated, and directed the receiver to pay over the the money in his hands. His Lordship also directed that sepa l rate accounts should be kept of the personal and real estate, but with respect to the latter part of the petition, the pa ying out of Court the fund in its po ssess i on , h e f e l t t h at under t he conflicting evidence before him, he could not grant it, following, as hectic!, the rule tied down by his predecessors, namely, never to grant, what was here prayed, without the way was very clear. Lordship then ordered the Decree to be drawn up in the man; ner specified. INSOLVENT DEBTOR'S COURT—(Trm Day . .)
