'We have in our preceding columns given ex tracts from the Paris Papers of Tuesday, the Etoile of Wednesday, and Frankfurt Papers to 11 late date. --' The Porte, it is again asserted for the hun dredth time, has issued a firman for the evacua tion Of NVallachia ; but even if this often reite rated assertion be at length true, it by no means proves that the differences with Russia are settled ; because the very paragraph which an nounces it also states that the Turks are deter mined to continue the military occupation of Moldavia ! Some accounts even go so far as to say that the Divan has required that Russia shall Withdraw from all the points in which she has established military posts in Asia ! We wish that the Porte had the power to enforce this v ery Politic requisition ; but, tottering as she is to her fall, from internal weakness, and from the v ital stabs inflicted upon her by her active and inveterate enemies the Greeks, any thing like tareats to such a power as Russia, which could anni hilate the Ottoman dominion in a single campaign, is perfectly ridiculous. ny arrivals from Mexico we have letters of the 4111 of June from the Capital, and of the 10th f rom the coast. Plots in favour of ITURBIDE continue to be discovered, and many persons had hi consequence been arrested. A French brig of wa r had arrived at Alvarado, with a Commis sioner from France to the Mexican Government Th is functionary had given assurances of the friendly dispositions of France towards Mexico ; g r id it has therefore been inferred that France is fo llowing the example of Great Britain as re sPects the new South American States. When we see, h owever,.th e French Ministerial and Ultra Jo urnals daily denouncing th e S ou th American Independents as rebels against the supremacy of Spain; and virulently blaming the English Go vernment for having adopted that very policy wh ich France herself is affecting to follow, We are induced to suspect that the French Agents) although they carry friendship in their mouths, are secretly instructed to in trigue for the overthrow of those very Governments to which they are accredited. ---The Cabinet of Paris continued its Ambas sador at the C ourt o f M adrid long after it had resolved on ef f ecting the violent overthrow of the Spanish Constitutional Government; and it is therefore neither illiberal nor unjust to infer that there is as little sincerity in its present con duct towards the South American Governments, is there was in its conduct towards the Qonstitu i°4lll Government of Old Spain.

Ship Jiecla, Davis's Strait, lat. 69° N. long. 54. W. June 25. Our passnge across the Atlantic was exceed ingly favourable, being only a fortnight from the Orkneys to ('ape Farewell ; and we have been enveloped in fog ever since, which has prevented our getting into the Whale-tish Islands, whither Captain PARRY proposes to unload the transport; and this evening the weather has become more clear, and we see the Islands about ten miles to windward of us, so that we may hope to be there to-morrow morning. Whale-fish Islands, June 29. We arrived here, as I had anticipated, on Saturday morning, and have been since busily engaged in removing our stores front the transport, which will in all probability leave us on Thursday morning, and as I am going on an excursion to Disco, about twenty miles from this, I must finish my letters to night. There is resident on this island a Danish Governor or merchant, and about eighty or ninety Eskimaux, or rather a mixed race of Danes and Eskimaux ; they are mostly Christians, and it was quite delightful to find the Holy Scriptures among them, and to see almost every one of these poor creatures enabled to read the blessed word in their own language. The huts of these people arc, compara tively, clean and comfortable ; they possess a great many of the European comforts of life ; and among the things that excited our astonishment, was, their having, in almost every 11114 a musical instrument, called a Mindolin, very much like a Guitar, on which all the Eskimaux women play very tolerably. The Governor's wife is from Copenhagen, and, judging by her appearance, the climate agrees well with her, for her fat ruddy cheeks bespeak robust health. With any other man for a husband, she would seem a monstrous large wo man ; but as the Governor happens to be six feet four, and stout in proportion, they are tolerably well paired. They have a Missionary residing about eighteen miles from this, who, during the summer months, is continually going about visiting the different islands to admonish and instruct, and to perform the Christian cere monies of baptism and marriage, &c. &c. What devotion to the cause of religion is here exercised ? The privations and difficulties they must have had to encounter are incalculable ; and it is quite delightful to ace in this little place, that the blessed fruit of their labours is making its appearance among them. I have had two or three most pleasing proofs of the mproved state of their moral character. Some years ago, I had a Labrador translation of the Gospels given to me, and I had now the satisfaction of t receiving the sincere thanks of a poor fellow for it, to whomt hope it will prove a blessing ; he could read it very well, and told MC that his daughter, a girl eleven years of age, would also be able to read it. The trans lations which they possess here, were made by the celebrated Otto Fabricius, and they have also the Church Catechism, and a Book of Hymns, in their own language. We are to have the Governor and his wife, and a little girl, not their daughter, but a child they adopted and brought front Denmark, about eleven years of age, to .dine with ut to-day ; the latter is, I think, the most interesting personage on the islands, being a very pretty little girl, of good manners, anti able to play very sweetly on the mandolin, and accompany it with a soft and pleasing voice; it is scarcely possible to look at her and her situation, and not regret that she is to grow bigger, and to become older—poor little thing, she will be much delighted to-day, as we shall have an abundant supply of beads, &c., to give her. The settlement to which Captains Parry and lioppncr, &c. arc going to-morrow, is the principal one that the Dunes have in this country, and we understand that that, are scvsral gentlemanly, intelligent men O there ; among them arc two Danish Naval ftieera who are employed in a survey of all the coasts in possession of their country, in this neighbourhood, and one of these is son to the first Minister in Copenhagen.

Little doubt now remains of the loss of his Majesty's ship Delight; she was seen on the 2211 of February, making for Port Louis, and subsequently pieces of wreck were cast ashore, which it is ascertained were part of the vessel, by the testimony of the As sistant-Surgeon and Mr. MURRAY', the Master's Mate, who were accidentally left on shore. To add to this dreadful calamity, there were on board at the time about 150 slaves, who had been taken out of different slave ships, captured through the exertions of Captain Ilky. Yesterday morning the Earl of LIVIIRPOOL and Mr. CANNING arrived in London, from the seat 9f the former at Combe-wood, near Kings ton, Surrey.

THE THEATRE. rious wonders of Der Freischulz, last night, a new Excmisll Ortlaa-House.___—After the myste. musical Piece was represented, entitled The Reign of Thelve Hours. The Fable is as :—The Caliph (BARTLEY) had degraded his hoe Minister, who died broken-hearted, though conscious of his innocence. Ile wishes that his son Zcandcr (PEA R M AN) shou ld marry Z oraide, a neighbouring Princess, to promote his political views. Nourma (Miss KELLY), however, daughter of the departed Minister, so ingratiates herself with the Caliph, that he not only changes his mind, and prefers her to be his daughter.' bnt absolutely, at her desire, alloy 48 her to reign in his stead for twelve us sausprumises- -su udrups 1110-16IStUrelk (litring that short interval for the benefit of the State. During her short reign she reconciles the father and son, and captivates the affections of the latter, who supposes her to be Zoraide. After some inter vening difficulties, he is introduced to Nourtna on the throne to whom he vows perpetual attach ment, and marries with the parental sanction. — This piece is an agreeable sketch, and is very well acted, particularly by BARTLEY and Miss KELLY. The anxiety of the former to repossess his throne, and the sportive manner in so hich the latter exercises the regal authority, are highly amusing. The piece was very well received, and is an entertaining addition to the diverting no velties of this convenient and elegant Theatre. The house was full, and wholly free from dis. sentient grumblers.

In Death's dark, lonely, and unbroken night, In that drear land of shadows, and of fear, Quench'd lies the orb of intellectual light, Which late shed glory on this mortal sphere, The brightest, loftiest, we had witnessl here ! Sublime, portentous, awful ! differing far From all that had on earth before it shone— Resembling some vast, solitary Star Rising amid the radiant Heav'ns—alone— Who, save th' Omnipotent, that soul of light hath known ? Too high, too mystic to be solved by man— Baffling the knowledge of both friends and foes— His mind, too great for common minds to scan, O'er praise and stricture ever proudly rose, And still sublimer grew from latent woes, Pursuing thro' realms of thought unbounded, new, Its own career—terrifically grand— Sketching from Nature's page, in each touch true, Man and the Universe with master hand For Nature's pencil was at his command. Nor yet bath Love by hint remained unsung, To Love, divinely, he awoke the strain— From coldestl breast sweet sympathy was wrung When he pourtray'd a Lover's guilt or pain— Oh ! 'twas enough to madden heart and brain ! For inward then his glance and pen were turned, And all the feelings which glow there unseen, Upon his pages brightly, warmly burned, As if all outward shown the soul had been, Devoid of ev'ry guise that could its movements screen. His was each varying theme—the great, the small Foiled not the magic of his painting's pow'r ; With microscopic eye he viewed them all, From Alpine mountain to the simplest flow'r That humbly blooms in Nature's lowliest bow'r— From sunshine's blaze to midnight thunder storm-- With ev'ry monument of taste and art— Shedding round ALT. that supernatural charm, Which WELL his genius could to all impart, That fix'd their mern'ry hallow'd in the heart. But while fresh laurels, wreath'd in garlands fair, That glorious brow—where genius stamp 'd its crest ; Nis icy fingers DEATH, imprinted there! Yet though so early came the dire arrest, To posterity immortal thy bequest— Those thunderbolts of thought—those words of fire, Which leave their burning image nn the mind— The deep toned thrill of song from that sweet lyre, Which could, with more than human art relin'd, Or minstrel skill, the fancy in Elysium bind ! And is that organ of thy soul now hush'd, Where lute the lofty spirit poured along Its deep imaginings —where thy griefs rush d, Mingling with inspirations new ' and strong, Borne on the tide of sublimated song ? Silent alas !—its melody is fled— The world laments, in bitterness of woe, Illustrious BYttox numbered with the dead, The first of Bards—of living Bards below— Felled by Fate's last, irrevocable blow ! Though dead, still deathless—still in Clio's Page Thy Name, synonimous with thought and soul, shall still survive through each succeeding age That may be yet ordained below to roll— In ev'ry earthly clime, from Pole to Pole ! Admiring eyes shall read the Book of Fame— That volume richly fraught with BY RON'S praise— England, with triumph, shall her Poet claim, While the young Bards of those far distant days Shall inspiration quaff from his immortal Lays. And thou, Oh Greece ! his loved adopted clime— Land of his muse, and dream of other years— Long through the changes of revolving time Shalt thou embalm his mem'ry with thy tears. Impelled by all heroic worth endears— For in thy cause he would have bravely fought, And died—exulting to have made thee free ! Aiming at this great end his soul's vast thought, With fearless, self-devote fidelity— Still the unshaken Champion of thy Liberty. One, who contenm'd the ignoble subtle plan— Whether from Prince or Minister it came. Formed to enslave—to rob his fellow Man Of that inherent franchise each may claim Whate'er his Sect, his Country, Rank, or Name ; On these loved themes his genius would display His giant force, from minor subjects turning, In the full splendour of meridian day For freedom and for glory nobly burning, The flattery of Courts, and selfish interest spurning. Thus, Greece! he would have roused thy dormant fires— Lit in ay Sons, _along thy fur famed Shore, -Aehs-prwww.w.. r has- 4 1 .1.41Atit S i rem— And made the Land, he loved t o trsven,e . wee, The Classic Scene, it rens in days of yore— Bade from the tomb thy Attic Genius rise, Of Sculpture, Song, and Eloquence divine— Made thee again, the birth place of the wise— The home of Freedom, Letters, and the Nine— Till Man had seen anew thy pristine splendour shine. But now, that dream of future glory o'er, Which charm'd expectance by its Wizard sway— Thy Sun has set—to rise, alas ! no more— The spirit of thy Bard has passed away ! Cold now his form, as the long buried clay Of those unlettered, vapid %MS of earth, In whom, no beam of genius ever shone— Whose life, and death, initiated as their birth, Passed off—unwept—unenvied—and unknown— Yet now, alike, as they—the Great One's gone! Yes, long their Byron shall thy children mourn-- Grief's bitter Chalice flowing to th e b r i m, LONG weep in anguish, round the marble urn, Where thou bast laid the sacred heart of him Whose high aspiring , ' Death so soon inntle p erc h ance a spark of that heart's hallowed flame May sometimes hover round its last abode, Still to impel thee on to deeds of fame, To lighten life's oppressive, cumbrous load, And soothe thy thought of him reposing with his GOD. NEGRO WIT.—A short time since, a Gentle man driving on the road between Little River and this town, was overtaken by a negro boy on a mule, who attempted for a long time, without success, to make the animal pass his car riage. At length the boy exclaimed to his beast, " I'll bet you one ftppenny I make you pass this time," and, after a short use, again said, 66 You bet ?—very well." The boy repeated his blows with renewed vigour, anti at last succeeded in making him pass; when the Gentleman who had overheard the con versation between Quaco and his steed, said to hint, " Well, my boy, now you have won, how are you going to make the mule pay you P" 64 Oh, Sir," earl Quaco, "me make him pay me very well ; Massa give me one tenpenny for to buy him grass, and me will only buy him a fippenny worthl —( Jamaica Paper.) V A G RANCT.-Yesterday one o f th e Officers of " the Mendicity Society waited on the Magistrates of Union Fall Office (L. B. ALLEN and M. swept Y, Esqrs.), to prefer a charge of vagrancy, which, he said, involved a point of consi derable importance. A man who was well known to the Society as an incorrigible vagrant, was on Wednesday evening appre hended in the parish of Camberwell, near the %Workhouse, ex posing himself on the pavement, and begging for alms, by hav ing inscribed before him in large letters of chalk, on the stones, " A native of America; I am very ill, and starving for want of food !" This man was the same person who, exhort time since, was taken to Marlborough-street Police-office, for collecting alms by exhibiting a picture, representing the descent of the late Mr. Harris's balloon ; and the Justice, conceiving that the exhi bition of that picture was a mere pretence for disguising his real calling of begging, sentenced him to an imprisonment, from which he has not been long liberated. It was shewn, front va rious facts, that the man was a most determined and incorrigible vagrant, and had been again and again punished to no purpose. Mr. ALLEN said that he was quite satisfied that he was a vagrant within the meaning of the Act, and as such lie should commit him to the House of Correction for one month, at the expiration of which time he would undertake to put him In a way of procuringen honest living if he did not choose to avail himself of the offer the Society had made him.—The prisoner was then removed front the bar.

LANGAN V. SIMPSON.--JUDGMENT. The LORD CHANCELLOR, on taking his seat this morning, called the attention of the Bar ti) this case, which came before his Lordship on a►l appeal from the decree of his Honour the Vice- Chancellor, who had decided in favour of the plaintiff. His Lordship said he was very clearly of opinion that Mr. Simpson could not possibly follow the effects, the subject of the suit, and to stay which proceedings the Court had been ap plied to, but which his Lordship felt l►e ought not to do. This motion, he considered, would dispose of the appeal altogether, and therefore l►e should confirm the judgment of the Vice- Chancellor. Mr. HART said, as the case was now disposed of, he hoped his Lordship would order the de posit to he paid out of Court. The Lo an CH ANC I:ll.l.oll,—Certainly. His Lordship then said he should he obliged to leave the Court this day at two o'clock, hut was willing to sit till six to-morrow.—After short conversation, his Lordship, to suit the con venience of the Bar, consented to rise at four. NSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT.—(Tnis DAT.) Geo. Spence ENles, an attorney, came up to claim his discharge, which no creditor appeared to oppose. On examining the Insolvent's sche dule, the debts were 3'211., from which 100/. was deducted for non-consideration, leaving the ori ginal debt 29.11. On the credit side of the sche dule, there appeared due to the insolvent 1,3001. and upwards, also that he considered 460/. out of it as good debts, to be collected for the benefit of the creditors generally, and that the surplus would come into his lands. The COURT said there was sufficient to pay double the amount of insolvent's debts, and de. dared him entitled to his discharge. John Bartlett, jun. also appeared to claim his discharge, which was not opposed. The insolvent formerly was a bookseller and stationer at Arundel, in Sussex; his debts were 800/., collected in four years. Great conii+ Bence appeared to be entertained of the insol vent's embarrassment, and several of the princi pal creditors had entered their signatures that the insolvent's father be appointed assignee to tht., estate of his son. Among the signatures was that of Mr. 11 hittaker, the present Sheriff of the City of London. The COURT declared him entitled to the benefit of the Act. DISTRESSING OCCURRENCE.

M. and the unfort IMMO sufferer went out together from the rocks below the William Pitt, just at the time of low water, and the tide was un. usually far out ; and it appeared they had proceeded some dis tance northwards along a sand hank that runs in that direction ; they had been out about a quarter of an hour, when they at. tempted to return, but instead of retracing their steps, they took a direct course for the shore, and had not gone t'ar before they came into deep water. The deceased, who was first, cried he was getting beyond his depth. Mr. Muncastax immediately made towards hint, to render him assistance. They had hold of each other for some. time, and both were in danger of meet. ing a watery grave : but in the struggle, Mr. Cardew, pro bably through weakness, lost bold of his friend, and the wate's closed above him for ever. Mr. M. with great difficulty reach. ed the shore, much exhausted, and the alarm was soon spread. Untberunately there was no t n i,%itr e ,yci,t t ,ii i l.l l l the beach who could render any assistance ; the revenue boat, , soon place, but being unppruvided e Wren cessful in their seutrli and fore other boats could be sent out drugs, theirS°Sjot:liidni out—same delay sailors, o t w i orweil : eat a hrele)l ; : a atel u tcoli l l . er' etlb : ceo , e y :f worldly wisdom than no means characteristic of this class of persons, and confined, we hope, to the two or three unfeeling fellows to whom we al lude) refusing either to lend their assistance, or allow the boats they had charge of to go out, until assured of being paid. Three or four boats were at length put off, and with the assist ance of the revenue boat, under the direction of Mr. Paisley and some other officers of Excise, every exertion was made, by casting nets, &c. to recover the body, but we arc sorry to say without effect: nor, up to this day (Monday), have any tidings been heard of it. The unfOrtunate deceased was in the 19th year of his age, anti was very generally beloved amongst Its acquaintance, as was fully evinced by the interest and anxiety shown by a number of young twat for the recovery of the body. one peculiar feature in this melancholy affair we cannot omit mentioning there were two of Mr. Cardew's sis ters, with two other young Ladies, about to bathe not far from the place where their unfortunate brother met his untimely end ; and the agony of their feelings on learning his fate may be better conceived than described : one of them would have rushed into the water to attempt his rescue, land she not been restrained by her companions. Mr. Cardew's father was frosts home at the time, ant when it is considered that the deceased was the only son of a family of eight children, we can scarily conceive a inure distressing case than the loss of this interesting and )promising youth. NV e trust this afflicting case will be a caution to persons bathing, especially those who cannot swim, not to venture out at low water, as the ground is then perfectly unknown to them. The boatmen who were searching for the body state, that there is from 3 to 4 feet greater depth of water b et ween the bank where these young men hail bathed, and the shore. The only safe method for those who are learning to swim is to wade right out as far as they find it convenient, and then swim direct in shore. The advancing tide always repdsis it dangerous to remain lung at a distance front shore. THE MARKETS. CORN-EXCHANGE, AUG. O.
