The Lisbon Gazelles from the 4th to the ioth July, which arrived this day, give us the copy of an Alvara for the establishment of Schools for Surgery in the cities of Lisbon and Oporto, in the respective Hospitals of St. Joseph and Mercy. The course of study is to be of 5 years' duration. A Letter from Cadiz, dated June 10, contained in the above Gazette states, that the Spanish armed brig Pezuela, Captain MANocr.

Owing to the length of the voyage, she of course brings no news from Peru, having sailed at the same time as the Yca, which brought the. first dispatch to this port. - The Frankfort Papers to the 20th July have also arrived. They bring news from Vienna and St. Petersburgh. The Gazette of th►• former con tains a pretty numerous list of promotions in the army. By au Ukase, dated St.Petersburgh, J ly 5, the Senate has published a Decree, approved by the Council of the Empire, and sanctioned by the EMPEROR, exempting all persons attached to public establishments for education from having soldiers quartered on them, and from the pay ment of money instead. SCARCITY OF PROVISIONS. CARTHAGENA, MAY I—(CIRCULAR to the DEPART 3IENT.) By an Act of the 23 1 . ult., the:lntendancy have permitted the introduction of maize, rice, and every description of bread stuflic into the ports of the department, free of all duties, for the term of five months ; and have prohibited, for the same term, the exportation of provisions out of the ports of the Republic. The Intendancy, in dictating this measure, has taken into consideration, aniong other very urgent circumstances, the extreme scarcity of the articles of necessity which is felt in this city, and the clamour raised by the Magistrates of the interior, who declare -that in the country they are even in want. The Intendancy hope that at the end of five months the present calamity will be remedied by the new crops, and in these cir cumstances they hope that the measure will not only be grate ful to the inhabitants of. Magdalena, but also mee t th e appro bation of the • Executive as one of an extraordinary character requited by the public necessity. Carthagena, April 29. M ONF MA. 11 , 1ANNuErm, Jura- 15.—The Prince and Prin cess Royal of PuussrA arrived here to day, and having stopped to view the grand Ducal Palace, proceeded to Ems. A deputation of above 200 Students of Heidelburg went in the night of the 14th to Scheveguigen to receive their !loyal Highnesses by torch light. TuE DUKE or YORK.—The Corporatiou of Dublin have resolved to present an Address of Thanks to the Duke of YORK for his patriotic and constitutional speech on the Catholic Question. The report of the state of Mr. Secretary Can fling's health yesterday was, the Right lion. Gentleman was proceeding towards recovery. Yesterday a Board of the Lords of the Trea sury was held at the Treasury Chambers. the accounts brought by Captain CLAPPERTON and Major DEstrAm from Soudan, and other places in the in tericr of Africa which have been visited by these enterprising travellers, are very satisfactory, and much valuable information relative to the inhabitants has been obtained. The surprise of the former gentleman may readily he conceived, upon his reach. ingSockatoo, in finding plates, dishes, basins, and other articles of English manufacture, with the makers' names marked thereon ; and during his residence, which was nearly three months, he daily used wares of this aescription. The markets are regu larly supplied, in addition to flour, with fine stall-fed beef, mutton, and kids ; as also poultry, including will ducks and geese, eggs, &c. The existence of this place, which is to the westward of Bornou, was before unknown ; it is governed by a Sultan, who has several wives, and many children, and with all the persons about him evinced every attention to Captain. Clapperton. 3lajor Denham proceeded to the south 'and east of Bornou, and examined the Lake Tsad, which is an immense fresh water lake, visiting many towns and villages in his journey. The country to the southward of Fezzan may be considered as a new discovery, and extends front that place to about the ninth degree of latitude, between the sixth and fourteenth degrees of longitude east of Greenwich. It has hitherto been deemed impracticable to travel in any part of Africa as Christians until this time. Both these officers performed the journey as such, occasionally wearing their uniforms, and were deemed by many of the followers of Ma hornet as curious personages. Ministers have considered it an object of such importance, as to again send another mission, placed under the direction of Captain Clapperton, in which he will be assisted by Captain Pearce (also of the Royal Navy), and the Cav :Ilion sloop of war is preparing at Portsmouth for their conveyance. Very sanguine hopes are entertained of suc cess, and of ultimately introducing, by the rome Captain Clap perton will proceed, many of our manufactures into central Africa. THE DUKE OF ORLEANS.-Tite rollowinz cu rious characteristics of this Prince are related in a private letter from Paris of the 4th instant :—" Every body knows that the Duke is excessively rich, but it is not generally known that he is his own steward and accountant. lie knows his receipts and expenditure to a centime. If he builds, he superintends, and ascertains the cost of the materials. Where he farms, he is his own Chapman. He cuts no grass to make hay, because he might have idle fellows who would make two days work of one, and the hay might be wasted. He therefore goes into his fields with those who wish to purchase, and sells the grass as it stands, so that all the expence of converting it into hay, and of its removal, falls upon the purchaser. He then calculates how much hay his horses ought to eat in a year, anti purchases at the best rate to that extent. He does the same also with his corn. Then the Duke has no kitchen, and consequently no cooks He is supplied by a traitcur at so much per dish ; and here he is so economical in the prices, that one tra2teur has, it is said in Paris, failed by the undertaking. What-is left at the Duke's table belongs to the traiteur, who suailies the 'upper servants with it at so much per head; and what is left there goes on the same principle to the lower servants—for all are upon board wages. The Duchess is equally ca re f u l i n. h er *ay ; 'arid thus the •ehbrmous fortune of the Duke becOmes (laity more considerable." LISBON, JULY 5., • Sunday the 3il instant being theanniversary of the happy entrance of his Majesty the King our Sovereign and his Royal Family into the vin ;dome to which we are essentially indebted for the re storation of peace, good order, and the happiness which we enjoy, the Castle of St. George, the fort, and the ships-of-war, displayed their flags, and tired the usual salutes.

POETRY. MORNING.. Addressed to a LONG Strtrsta. Oh, rouse thee from thy drowsy bed, Night with its shades has paged away ; In glory o'er the mountains spread, eliold the meekly dawning daY: There thou may'st see its' wakening beam With heaven's own pure effulgence stream. Oh, didst thou know what morning brings, . Of joy and gladness to the heart,: - flow light the elastic spirit springs With joys it can alone impart, Thou wouldst not idly dream away 'the sweetest portion of the day. The clouds that float along the sky, Lone wandering fugitives of air, Perchance may catch thy raptured eye, Borne on the passing breeze afar, Receiving from their splendid sire Glories which thou may'st well admire. how wildly beautiful they seem, As travellers that know no home, And like the enthusiast's airy dream, O'er many a scene of bliss they roam, Irradiate now with purest light, Then dark as deepest shades of night! And wandering on, thy devious feet May up the entangled woodland stray; Oh, but it scented breath is sweet, And all thy toil will well repay : • For countless flowers arolind thee spread, Adorn their mother's grassy bed. And many a lovely form thou'lt meet, Fresh as the morning's sparkling dew, And many a smile of beauty sweet, In turn shall greet thy ravish'd view : For lovely eves with lustre bright Oft hail the morning's beamy light. • A nd there, perchance, thou'lt meet the maid To whom thy fondest thoughts are given, In spotless innocence array'd, Thou deemest her a nymph of heaven; But she, like thee, perchance, sleeps long; Then wake her with my morning song.

THE LION FIGHT. WA itwicz, Tuesday Afternoon, Too We have received, from a Correspondent, the following tract from a private letter, respecting this brutal speculation c--• "It is decided that the fight shall take place at seven o'clock this evening, in the Factory-yard, which is arranged in the form of an amphitheatre, and the charge of ;Admission to which sre 31.; but beyond the general alarm and confusion in the Bo rough, no further excitement appears to be produced. The shopkeepers, under the impression that a riot will take place, have closed their doors and shops, and the Castle is also closed.-- A Mr. Wheeler, belonging to a Society in London for the prevention of cruelty to animals, has applied to the Mayor, calling on him to prevent such a disgraceful scene, and it is said, pointed- out one of the Statutes of Edward the Third, wherein he had jurisdiction ; but the Magisterial interference has been declined altogether. An absurd rumour that his Royal highness the_Duke of Gloucester intended being pre. sent has been circulated, but I am convinced it is withoutfoun dation. The Lion has been kept three days without scarcely any food, and is in a furious state. The Dogs are equally io."

On the 21st in. stant, the Stadt Altona, a fine new ship, returned here ; she left the ice on the 9th, having been severely damaged in en deavouring to penetrate through the ice: She brings only 800 seals, and reports, that at the latter end of June, 25 En g li a l r ships, and all the Foreign ships, had only 15 fish amongst them. The seal fishery is also bad ; only one ship'had a thou sand seals. The reason given of the back fishing is the cond.. nuation of the strong N.B. winds, which had occasioned tha strong ice to come down, which could not be penetrated.". CORN EXCHANGE, JULY 27.

WONDERFUL RECOVERIEC-Monday week a • party from Aylesbury proceeded on their ap. final visit to,Velvet Lawn, and, as usual, took with them all necessary good cheer. From the heat of the weather, they wished to have their' beverage coos, and with this view sank into,the well of the Lawn Cottage, in a bucket, the Stone bottle, which contained the wine they carriecfwith • them. In lowering the bucket, however, it so felt Out that the stone bottle fell in. A yoUng gen tleman belonging to another party, on a sinailai• ► excursion, volunteered his services for the- re.: eovery of the bottle. A stick being passed through . the. bucket chain, the youth took his .seat` upon it, and • was safely lowered into the • well. The bottle was found unbroken, and was secured in the adventurer's Italia.— While, however, the party were in the act of winding the young gentleman up, the good woman of the cottage, by her officious assistance, contrived to get one of her fingers caught in the chain, and screaming out, as women are. sometimes wont, frightened the man at the windlass, so as to cause him to lose his hold, and let the gentleman aguin go. to the bot tom, the-depth of five•and-twenty feet. The consternation of the parties rophil the well was extreme ; especially among the female relatives of the young man, two of whom, his sisters, felt into hysterics. Happily, however, he was soon heard to be alive, and a drag being procured, it • was let down within his reach, and he was loon rescued from his perilous situation, and arrived' at the top, holding the drug by one hand, and the bottle by the other. - AWFUL INSTANCE -OF SUDDEN DMATEL—An ' elderly lady, named AMELIA SPAITri,. residing'ini'!
