FRENCH PAPERS. ('From the Moniteur ' of Tuesday, Aug. 10. ) An Ordinance of the King decrees, that the 4 titles of Baron, Viscount, Count, Marquess, and Duke, which his Majesty shall henceforth think fir to .confer On those of his subjects who shall have appeared worthy of them, shall be personal, and • not go down to their children or descendants in the direct line, unless the possessors of such titles studl been authorised ..by ;his Majesty to eeestitute, and shall have constituted, a majorat a t t „ ( 1 t o th, titl e with whia they shall be in vested. The value of the estates 'must he, fot the title of Duke, 30,000 . francsper annum clear ; tor a Marquess, 20,000 francs'; and for a Visconti and Baron, 10,000 francs. . ; [Prom the ,7ournal dee Debate of neatly.] SbuYitra, jut,v juin/wit/he French vessel of war,•commanded by M. Bejard, arrived hits on Sunday, July 4;' she witnessed the cap - thee of 'lpsara by the squadron of the Captain Pecha, an event which. took place on Saturday, die 3d. The Captain Pectin left Mitylene with a squadron 'composed of 80 vessels, large- and. small, on Friday, the 2d, and arrived off I psura. in the evening. On Saturday, between three and four o'clock in the morning, he landed 14,(00 men on the north coast opposite Mitylene. After a 'lively resistance, he made himself master of the fort which is there. The Turks then made for: the top of the hill which commands the town, and' hoisted the Turkish flag there about seven o'elnitk.. At the sameAimit the squadron sur rounded the island, and made for the town. The rou4e was complete, without the ships tind. ;lug it ,necessary to fire their guns; the town was captared,!and the sea covered with the bodies of those who endeavoured to escape in small boats and vessels so heavily laden, that they sunk. The Albanian Greeks made some resistance, but were repulsed after killing about 500 Turks, and they took refuge in the last fortress on the eastern side of the island,, which held out the whole day, and bad not surrendered at the de.! partore of the Amaranthe, although ..the *big had nearly ceased. The Primates of the Island and the Senate had time to escape with their families in their own vessels, which were, lying at Anti-f psara, whence they. made sail. The Captain Paella dispatched seine frigates after them, but without overtaking them. Ile :captured all the vessels which were in the port of Ipsara, and preserving the best of them, caused the others to be burnt. All the boots of these vessels Oere seat to save and col lect the Greeks who had. submitted. lie also caused a Zella to be published in the island, that every Mahornedan who conducted a Greek, whether male or female, on board the ships, should receive a reward of 500 piastres for_each our. The isiand .from which so much was ex pected, did not resist three hours. The Captain 'Peelle intends to proceed intmedietely to Samos, to Tina, and thence to Hydra, to complete by force the submission of the C reeks. lie has sent .a'sqeadron before him to invite the islanders to submit Voluntarily., and to prevent the effusion of blood. The Smyrneett contains the following article.: " Nexus, JLINE 20.—The whole population of the island of Cast' no longer ekists - About thirty individuals of both sexes have just landed here, - and Never told us as follows :—" From the Gth to the Bth of June, about five o'clo c k in the morning, the Egyptian squadron, consist big 6117 vessels, which was cruising off Gandhi, made sa il for Casa to land tr oo ps. The inhabi. tents immediately ran to arms, and placed them- SPITE'S nt , every accessible point, resolved to cent ..quer or perish. The Turks, protected by their ships, endeavoured in vein to effect a landing. They were constantly repulsed, with loss, by a a well kept up Gre on our part. Night put an end to the tromlutt, but nut to our uneasiness, rw wee saw a long time lights at a distance, which convinced its of the presence of our formidable orsemY. At day-break we again saw the Egyptian •.'vessels advance. The attack was made very briskly, and continued till four o'clock in the 'afternoon. The squadron of Ismael Gibraltar was then lost sight •of. We hoped that we had saved ourselves,And after having returned thanks to God, we lonited after our wounded. But on the 10th, Ismael Gibraltar, followed by the posies part of his forces, directed his march on the strongest part of the island, and began a terrible lire. The combat had lasted several hears, when we 'beard loud . cries in our rear. The enemy had landed on .the.:tiorth-eust side of the island. We were thus taken between two tires, our efferts• at resistance were unavailing, and we were soon dispersed. Four or five hun dred of ,our countrymen perished with arms in their hands ; the remainder took refuge in the mountains and the neighbouring Wands. The treater part of our women and children, we sup. -posse, . have fallen into the hands of the enemy."' PARIS, AUG. 10.—If thollaytians would hear oordisinterested advice, we would say to them— Your real independence will not in the .least suf fer by a clause in which you recognize the King of France as your protector. Is not Portugal, in fact, under the protection of England ? You have no navy,, you are hardly able to protect your twit '{lag , against the privateers of Colombia and of Buenos Ayres, and you dare not send your ships into the seas of Europe. Protected. by France, no nation will interfere to check your trade. You hive conquered the Spanish part of St. Domingo, but you have no valid title to re sein it according to the rights of nations.. Spain has not givens up her claims to you, and she might embarrass you very much, if she made over her "' us to a Rawer capable of carrying them into effect.

From the Coniatutiannelo PARIS, AUG. 10.—The departure of th© Hap thin Deputies may be considered we fear, as equivalent to a rupture. It appears that the right of sovereignty claimed by the Ministry was the stumbling-block; in fact, its engagements with the Holy Alliance do not permit it to acknow ledge the independence of Hayti. How is it that our Government does not possess that inde pendence which a great nation like ours ought to enjoy, and why do we always make sacrifices to Russia which turn to the profit of England ? WARSAW, JULY 19.—0 n the 15th of this month was cele brated here in the church of Visitandines, a fete, in memory of all the men who have deseri , ed well of the sciences in the kingdoth of Poland. It commenced by a mass in music; then some discourses were pronounced, and afterwards medals distributed to the authors of the hest writings and works of art which have appeared in the course of last year. Ptnnal.r., , at, AUG.. g.—( E xtrrict of a Private Letter.)—On the 24th of last month an English schooner, - carrying dispatches to differentparts of the Peninsula, entered Barcelona. The last place of she entered was Tarragona. At Barcelona she put on shore the Captain and two ocers, who repaired to the Con sul, to whom they delivered dispatches. We are informed that ,the Captain had orders to take on board all Constitutionals who wished to take refuge there ; it, is at least certain that eight Officers, four Colonels, and lour Captains did go OR board. Of the number was Capt. Mats, of Vieh. These gentlemen were pursued by the Spanish Police. We are also informed that the Captain had expre °nit?* not to receive any Frenchman, under any pretext whatever. it was remarked, that when the schooner entered the harbour of Bareelona % shemede no salute, whichls rsther extraordinary. Nuntarntvnoil, Atm. We learn, by information from Constantinople, that the request made by Lord Strangford to his tiovernment to be recalled has. been refused, and that lie received a fluttering letter in reply, in which, among other things, it was said that his presence there was indispensible, till some reconeiliation was effected between Russia and the Porte. It is, however, believed at Pere, that the principal motive with the English abinet far not complying with the request is, be. cause they suspect that the French Ambassador would take ad vantage of the absence of Lord Strangford to regain that Willi,. ence over the Divan which France formerly possessed, ?nd it is thought that Lord Strangford would be able 'to counteract any effort of this kiwi on the part of Count Guilleminot. What ever may, be the cause of the refusal, it is quite certain that it is disagreeable to Lord Strangiord, as he will find it very difficult to continue playing the part in which he has hitherto so well succeeded. A division of the Egyptain squadron has arrived in the port of Suda, where it wa►s to embark on hoard transports a part of the force of Ilasscin-Pacha,•con►posed exclusively of Egyptaio troops. SOUTH AMERICA. A ale of the Curaccus paper, the El Colom bian°, to the ltith June, have been received. They announce the arrival at La Guityra, on the 29th . Mast, of the Netherlands .corvette L'endragt, with Captain IL W. Quartel on board, as Commissioner from the King of. the Netherland! to the Co lombian Republic. We learn also, that the celebrated Joseph lineaster , had arrived at Cameos."' We behold in this event," says the .Colornbitow, ." the realisation of the liberal views which have long animated our townsmen with respect to public education ; as well as a strong evidence of the high apprecia tion in which they hold the talents and merits of this Gentle man. Mr. !Ammor comes among us as an invited guest; and in this capacity has already received, that cordial welcome which is due to our own character and to Ills. Nothing can exceed the liberal attention with which the Corporation has manifested its sense of the presence of Mr. Lancaster, and of the Important national interests connected therewith. Caraccas well deserves prosperity, when she founds her pretensions thereto on the intellectual advancement of her children, and on thus honouring the who and good." The tbilowing extract of a private letter from ha Guayra, contains some very interesting information, and some pertinent remarks upon the anotnaloux character of our, actual relations with Colombia, emoted by delaying the nominal recognition of her independence : " Ls ll ttsYnl,.lose% lll.—The only public events since my last are— the arrival here of a Commissioner from the King of Holland; of a now Intendant, General Escalona, 'in the room of the Marquess del Toro ; and of Mr. Joseph Lancaster, the great teacher. Allthese several personages, we hope, will tend tieour improvement in their respective stations ; the first, by establishing friendly relations between us anti the gaod King Of the Low • Countries (—ho must needs be rejoiced that we are emancipated from that dependent state which his worthy ancestors so,long endured); the second, by being a little more active, discriet, and conciliatory than his predecessor ; and the 311, by extending and improvingnur system of nntionaleducation. Our Foreign Publicl'unctionartes go on increasing. We have an American Consul, a British Consul, a Dutch Consul, and a French one, on the way from Martinique. I see, by the pa pers, you are.still discussing the propriety of acknowledging our Independence.; but in what an odd position does the Bri tish Government place itself; you send here a British Consul, who puts King George the Fourth's arms over his door ; you 'pass n law to ashitieGolombian ships into your ports; and yet you tell us, we artenotirecognized as a nation, and I see, that tf aver our name - happens to be mentioned In an, of your Courts of Justice, the Judges call out, We do not know any thing of the Republic of Colombia!" assure you, that to plain unlettered men, as the folks here very much are, all this seems very strange. We wankel), to improve much under G e n era l Escalona, for our Intendant. lie has all the activity and vigour necessary in a young Go vernment. General Soublette, we bear, goes to England as Consul-General. The news of the new loan being made, has spread confidence everywhere, and • will do immense good throughout the whole Republic. When once our wheels get f a irly greased here, you will find a machine in motion, the power o r which you have little idea of ; but we must have time. The following is an extract of a private letter which has been received in London by the last New York packet. We shall be glad to hnd the statements it contains confirmed by our next *dykes fr.un Mexico : NEW UK ' Jut,tr 17 , --The schooner Eclipse, Captain Marsliton, is this instant arrived in 20 days from Sotto la Ma rina, a small port to the northward of Tampico, the very same where the enterprising, but unfortunate, Mine landed some yeas ago. By this vessel we have received the intelli gence that General liravo, after making a rapid march, had en tirely disconcerted the projects of his opponent Quaintanar, and entered the rich and populous city of Guadalalara, on the 13th of June, where he was received with the most enthusiastic acclamations, the people exclaiming " Viva Bravo !"—" Viva H Sobel atm Congresso Constituyente Mexico:101" The troops immediately abandoned Quintanar, and joined the brave Mex icans. In the evening the city was illuminated, and public rejoicings of every description took place. Deserted by all his followers, Quintanar has fled for safety to the province of Sonora. Thus has tranquillity been restored to, and the union consolidated between, two of the most populous and interesting provinces in the New Ni r orhl, and schemes disconcerted which had extensive ramifications. " After remaining in Guadalaxara a few days, it was the in. tention of General Bravo to put himself in communication or rather to forth a Second line of operation, with General la Garza, who commands a considerable force of faithful troops in the province of Santander, and closely watches the coast at the sante time, in the event of Iturbide daring to make an at.. teMpt at landing. General Garza is a main possessed of im meat property, and is the same individual who first opposed the Ex-Emperor when he caused 24 Members of the Congress to be arrested. Ills fidelity cannot for a moment be doubted." LEin.—A. communication from the North states, that the Lead-mines belonging to the Earl of DA RLINGTON have been very produc tive of late, and that the Noble Lord at this moment holds a stock of refined lead to the ex tent of 000 tons, besides 400 tons at least of rich ore. Other mines have likewise recently been worked with great success; notwithstanding which the article is not diminished in price. The demand for borne► consumption is great, and likely to be increased, in consequence of the ,public And private buildings, and the nphlication of this metal to so many novel uses. Letters front Rome speak of the probability of the Pope's issuing a now Decree to regulate the admission into 11 oly Orders. According to what is rumoured, individuals will not be allow ed to tale Priests' Orders till they have com pleted their :33d year. COLONIAL INTELLIGENCE. ( From the St. Vincent Gazette of June 26.) Papers from Dominica to the 18th have reached us during the week. The new House of Assembly of Dominica was sitting on the 10th instant, but as we have not received the papers containing the first proceedings of the House, we cannot say what communications passed between the Earl of Hunting don and that body on opening the Session. On the 2d inst., the printer of the Gazette was called before the House, and un derwent a short examination, touching the publication of the agent's letter 'to the Committee of Correspondence, announcing the intended removal of the Governor, which, it appears, the House had resolved " sliould not be placed upon the Minutes." The printer denied that he had any previous knowledge of this circumstance; admitted that lie received a copy of the letter from Mr. Charles G. Hobson, and that public opinion was divided as to whether or not he had done good to the colony by its pub lication. No further proceedings appear to have been taken by the House on this subject ; but it is probable that the promul gation of the letter in question may have influenced the Gover nor in removing Mr. Hobson front the Magistracy, of which the following notification appeared officially in the Gazette of the 16th ; " Government-house, June 16. " Ills Excellency the Governor has been pleased to dismiss Charles G. Hobson, Esq., from the Magistracy, and has ac cordingly directed his name to be era se d from the Commission of the Peace. " 11y his Exc e ll enc y' s comman d, , HENRY NISIIET, Secretary." This step on the part of his Lordship, led Mr. Hobson to address a letter to him on the subject, a copy of which we have received from a private hand, and here subjoin I— " Roseau, June 16,1024. " To the Right Honourable the Earl of Huntingdon. ",My Lord,-1 beg to acknowledge the receipt of your Lord ship's communication of this day, by which I stn informed your Lordship has directed my name to be erased from the Commis sion of the Peace, and no longer to consider myself as one of the Magistrates of this island. Aly Lord, for this last noble and charitable act, previous to Our Lordship's departure, I cannot but express my gratitude: for I assure your Lordship you have relieved ate from an ardu ous and troublesome office—an office, my Lord, which I never solicited, and was much pressed to accept. " But, my Lord, its you have thought proper to erase my name from the Commission of the Peace, and have not stated the - cause, as 4 man I consider I ant in duty bound to demand of your Lordship the reason. " My Lord, if I have•abused the authority reposed in me by the law—the law, in such cases, provides that I may be punished criminally, by indictment or information. But as I feel confident, my Lord, that you can bring no charge against me as a Magistrate, I. must imagine you have been actuated from personal motives, bearing always in. mind your elegant and dignified expressions in your reply to the inhabitants of this island. Yes, my Lord, it appears my name has ever since been under your eye ; but, my. Lord, what a glorious satisfaction I feel in reflecting that you can do me no harm. I feel sensible if I were in your power, I should not escape; those that are, I pity. " It is fortunate indeed for me, that the only public situa tion I enjoy is out of your Lordship's reach. Is it, my Lord, for doing my duty in that Situation, that your Lordship is angry ? or is it, because I signed the petition to the King to re move your Lordship from the government of this Island ? " However, my Lord, whatever your reason may be, I wish you a speedy and pleasant passage to Europe ; .and I trust, my Lord, you will be rewarded by your Sovereign in a just pro. portion to your merits. " I have the honour to be, my Lord, your obedient Servant, (Signed) " CIIARLLS 0. HUDSON." THE ASIJANTEE WAR. His Majesty's frigate, Owen Glendower, Capt. Tuna is PRICKETT, arrived on Wednesday morning at Cowes, and afterwards proceeded to Spithead. The Owen Glendower left Cape Coast Castle 31st Itlity 2 _lB24, having been relieved by the Maidstone, Cotomander C. Millen. The rains and sickly season had sat in very severely; before the Glen. dower's departure, the mortality on the Cape Coast was truly distressing ; the European troops and merchants dying at the rate of eight or nine, a day, besides women and children, from the malignant fever of the country, which had taken off so many poor fellows who lately arrived, that coffins could not be procured fast enough. Of the white soldiers of the 2d West India Regiment who had lately arrived from England and the Cape of Good Hope, there remained only 95 outof 250. The officers belonging to the above Regiment had shared the same fate. Thu following are some of the deaths which happened a short time before the Owen tnendower left : Lieut. M'Cumby, 2d West India Regt.; Lieut. M'Carthy, ditto; Ensign O'Meara, ditto; Ensign M'Kenie, ditto; Mr. Collett, merchant; and Mr. Ruth, ditto—all of fever. Col. Sutherland, of the 2d Went India Regiment, was carry ing On active measures against the Ashantees ; several slur tmshes had lately taken place in the bush, under the command of Captain Blenkarne, and the loss of the Ashantees was very great, supposed to be upw ar d s o f 1,000 ; t h e Ki ng was at t h e head of his troops ; our loss is not known, but It is said to be trivial compared to the enemy's. The Ashantees had, how ever, surrounded the Fantee country in immense bodies. The following promotions and appointments had taken place In the squadron : Lieut. (i. Woolcombel acti ng C apta i n of the Bann, to be Captain of the Victor; Captain G. W. Courtn e y, l ate o f t h e re-appointed to th e S w i nger; Li eut. Theed, i n Owen Glendower, appointed to th e B ann; Li eut. Scott, acting e in on t i b m e a N t r i i d o cto Pthe Swinger, re-appointed to the Victor ; Mr. 0. Manning, Midshipman of the Owen Glendower, appointed Lieutenant of the Bann ; Mr. J. W. Thomas, Midsh pman, i of the Owen Glendow er , appo i nte d Lieutenant of the Victory lint died of fever a short tim e after; Mr. M‘Kay, Assistant r e : the Maidstone at Cape Surgeon of the Maid stone , to h e act i ng S urgeon o f the Victor. The squadron was th us di Coast, to sail in a f ew d ays to t Bights of Benin and Biotin', lOr the suppression of the slave trade; Ranh, to Sierra Leone and Gambier, Swinger, and Victor, in the flights. There had died lately on board his Majesty's ship Owen Glendower, of fever, Mr. J. Finlaison, Master, and Mr. Thompsom, School. master. The crew all quite healthy on their arrival here, and , in 'consequence of the Captain's affidavit and Doctor's certifi. ,cats, that no infectious disease had prevailed on board, she was not placed under quarantine. The Owen Glendower called at Ascension, which she left on the 2d July ; the island was very healthy. July 9, spoken with in hut. 5.50. N. and long. 25.

During Oin astitua of the Crown Court at Mary. borough on Thursday last, Lord NortutritY addressed the Crown Solicitor in that complimentary strain for which his Lordship is so 4istin,guished, concerning the general correct ness with which the business of the Crown-office is transacted ; charging him at the same time never again to surer any p e r. son to take a prosecution out of the bands of the Crown, by employing Counsel in cases where the Attorney-General has directed a prosecution. ..``,.l. do not allude," he added. " to any thing that is now going forward, but you know to what 1 allude." __ (The allusion is believed to have been made to the engaging of Alr. Wallace at the last Assizes among the Counsel for the prosecution, at the quit of the King, against the Police Con stal►les in 111`Daniel's case.) CIIAMBEALAIN WALKER begged leave to controvert the position, which he considered to be un encroachment upon the privileges of the Bar. lie was quite sure that a person interested in a prosecution had a right to employ Counsel, whether' the Crown took up the matter or not; and that the Counsel so employed to assist the King's Counsel, had an equal right to bcheard. lord Nottntirty.—Well, I am not going to argue the point with you. I only tell you, .11.1 r. Crown Solicitor, to attend to what 1 ssy. sh. Wst.trEn persisted in maintaining what he considered to be the right of the liar, and he appealed to the Recorder, who was present. The ItEconnEn shook his head, but nothing dropped out of it worth being recorded. Mr. A rtAntx, who is generally engaged on the part of the Crown in criminal prosccutioss, said, that it was not the time to discuss the subject, as no case was before the Court. Lorin Nonnuny.—l am always ready to protect the Bar and its rights. Mr. Wm.:mt.-41y Lord, it is in behalf of those rights that I have made the allegation. Lord Nonnunv.—You are not counsel for the Bar : they did not employ you. Mr. WALKEn.—I will venture to say that every member of the Home Bar concurs in the view I have taken. Lora Nounruy dissented from this observation. Mr. WALKEL—Let them say so, if they don't. Here the matter ended for the present, but we understand it to be Mr. Walker's determination to take the sense of the pro fession at large upon the question.—( Freeman'. Journal.) I' 0 I N T. What mighty effects often spring from the meatiest causes ! This word, which stands for nothing in the French linguage, l and is defined by the great geometrician, that which bath no parts or magnitude, is yet a component part of every thing which is or shall be; we cannot move a pen, a foot, or even a finger, without it. What is the vast mass of bodies in the universe but a composition of surfaces, 'generated by lines, which are nothing but a stream of flowing points. Of what is old time itself made up, and its lovely daughters, the rosy hours which so gracefully lead down the jocund dance of life, but of su many moments or points which themselves are gone before yoU can tell them on the dial, or even in the twinkling of the eye which looks upon them. —Without point, or punctuality, which is its derivative, what would become of the man of business ? what of the heads of commerce—the Common Councilman—or the Alderman, ho takes care to arrive at his favourite hall just at the point of time as dinner is serving up—neither before nor after the happy moment, for it is in that true punctuality, consists—the very nick of time—neither to keep others waiting nor to be ourselves kept kicking our heels and prating our nothings till the guests arrive. Nothing so blunts the appetite as exceed ing the appointed time; and that may be one of the reasons of the absurd custom in this age of economy, of keeping the company in one conti nued suspense and alarm, every time. time door opens, for at least an hour or two beyond time hour in the cards of invitation. So true is the old _ _ _ - " Hope fleferred maketh the heart sick.", And when the heart is once sick, what sympathy will there be in the other organs ? And now we talk of organs, what would be come of the musician without his notes and points ; or of the songster without his point d'orgue ; or of the sailor and of commerce in general, and of this island in particular, without boxing the points of the compass ; or even of the ladies without their lace, so highly prized 'by them, in point,—so called, perhaps, because to gain it is with them so great a point ; or what, in. deed, of the men, if they cannot gain their point? In heraldry, what is so great a glory upon the escutcheon (for its praise extends beyond the grave) as the nine points, especially the honour, the fess, and the nombril-point ? and what so delights tho heart of the whistplayer as to win all the points of the rubber, that bumper to cheer his spirits ? Without points what would become of the Lo gician and his quirks and quiddities ? what of the Lawyer without his cases in point? or what of the wit, more especially in his epigrams, which, if they fail in point, must fall, as they d eserve , into oblivion, the proper place for obtuseness. For want of a point how many good stories have been murdered by the telling of them. The dull, and phlegmatic, and obtuse, are but sorry chan nels for the itommunication of wit and vivacity ; and perhaps there is nothing more ridiculous than to see some of these ponderous dunces labouring under the load, heavy to them, of others' smart repartees and sayings, and wonder ing that the laugh is not raised at what they think the proper place, but which, they point ng wrong, is raised at their own expence ; and often the more profusely, as they themselves do not perceive it, but imagine, in their vain conceit, that any one but their sacred person may be made . the general butt : as the wag that was recording the wit of another who had passed his joke upon Herring as he was pused in a pond-- « What a sad state poor Herring is - in !"—but the company did not find it so good a thing as .the Recorder thought it, till they heard what had really been said upon the future Archbishop -44 What a pickle poor Herring is it: !" But, besides the sports of wit, what would be the sports of the field without a PointY Without his pointer, the sportsman might walk all day with gun in hand, and return with it as innocent of blood as when he started ; and the - only game for his friend's diversion would be the poor la bourer himself, who returns with but his labour for his pains, which is but a wretched entertain- ment to solace the fatigue of the one s or to sweeten the disappointment of the other. How important are the live points upon which the religious world has been so long, and are likely to be still longer, and perhaps as long as the world lasts, divided and perplexed, because they will not, with all their pretensions to religion, arrive at the grand point of all to be accomplished on subjects which no one can understand,--a rem. lotion to agree to differ; and not to sacrifice Chris. tiara charity to a point of controversy, because it happens to be the opinion of our party, any more than the sentiment of honour, in its genuine sense, to the point of etiquette. We all know how im. portant a point was to poor Martin of old—who was an AWO expelled from the, Monastery of Able for putting a comma in this line after instead of after esto:— Porta patens esto nulls, claudatur honesto— whence came the proverb : Faute Wan point, Martin perdit son Ane. I am, Mr. Editor, • DREADFUL AFFRAY.—One day last week a dreadful affray happened at Pett-Horse-race, place near the sea, midway between Rye and Hastings, between the Coast Blockade and a party of smugglers ; of the latter six lost their lives—one was shot, and five were drowned. A Jury has sat on the bodies of the deceased, con vened by THOMAS Bawrox, Esq. the Coroner of the Rape of Hastings : the verdict has been, " Justifiable Homicide."—Two of the smugglers have been committed to the gaol of Horsham.— At present we are not sufficiently informed upon this dreadful event to give any opinion as to the merits or demerits of either party ; but we may venture to express a hope that the Member for the County of Sussex, who took so active a part in the inquiries which he instituted into this sub ject in the Session of 1821, will draw the atten tion of Parliament again to those melancholy occurrences. None of the blockade awn were materially injured. PUCE OF STOCKS THIS Bank Stock 2374 3 per Cent. Red. 94111 3 per Cent. Coo 93Za 94 33 per Cent — Dissd.

SOLEM QUIS L►IOEILE FALSUJI JUDXAT LONDON, FRIDAY, AUGUST' 13, 1824. We have received the Paris Papers of FriLisY and the Mode of Wednesday. The Jourat2l des D,:buts contains a new version of the capture of I psara by the CAPTAINPACIIA,Wid also an account of the reduction of the little island of Casa by the Egyptian squadron. Nearly the whole v.. pulation of the latter island was destroyed. Th e account of the CAPTAIN PACIIA'S explo►t appears to have been furnished by a French brig of war , which witnessed the conflict. It confirms ili a former accounts from Smyrna, in all material par' ticulars, and proves that tl►e ill-fated Ipsariats) after having made a sharp resistance, were► Pot betrayed by treachery, but overpowered by the overwhelming superiority of force brought agains t them. If the piersent statement is to be creditolt the CAPTAIN PACIIA has relieved the horrors °f the scene in which he was engaged by a ray °I humanity rather uncommon as emanating from a Turkish commander in the moment of victory. A considerable sensation was created rite day in the City among the West India merchanth in consequence of supposed intelligence from Ja' make, that another insurrection of the N eg roes had taken place. The foundation for this alarm was the following extract from the log-book of the Ludy Mau Pelham packet,arrived from the Leeward Islands, and transmitted by the agent to Lloyd's at Falmouth .1- 44 On the 7th instant; in lat. 48. 52, spoke the Richard Reynolds) m' London, Roumas, from Jamaica, out six week s ; Sir J. KEANT., with five companies of the 9`2 , " regiment, had embarked on board his Majesty ship Hussar, for •Savannah-la-Mer, to veil al : insurrection of the Negroes. Some person s thought it partial, others general. When the Richard Reynolds sailed, they were setting fire to the sugar-works in the neighhe l ! r. hood."—This statement, however, on del!: vestigartion, is justly considered to be net' l 7; more than a c on f use d account o f the w are insurrection o f w hi c h a d v i ces were re ceiwe by the last p ac k e t f rom J amaica.
