The Times, the Ledger, and the Herald, alone enter upon the question— . the two former against, and the latter in support of the Proclamations. The opposing two Papers, however, feel themselves compelled to admit that the issuing of the Proclamations was jus tified by circumstances ; but, at the same time, declare the justification specious and flimsy. They seem to regard the Turks as a nation worthy of no consideration in the enlightened Councils of other European States, and it would, therefore, be vain to urge the justice of the case as between England and Turkey in reply to them. The Lisbon Gazettes from the 19th to the 26th of September have been reeeived, but are en tirely 'barren . of political •intelligence. There is a long and very violent article in the Gazette of the 24th ult. on the subject of the sacrileges said to be constantly perpetrated in the kingdom, and preceding the publication of a pastoral let ter from the Cardinal Patriarch, addressed to the Parochial Clergy upon the subject. This , letter, which is very long, d we ll s on th e enorm ity 'of the acts of sacrilege, and on the grief which they must necessarily excite, in the minds of all Catholics, and especially in the Clergy, whom he exhorts to be watchful by day. and night, to pre vent the commission of such crimes. We have made the subjoined extract : . • DEPARTMENT OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS. " The official accounts from Vienna announce that his Royal Highness the Infant Don Michael continued to enjoy perfect health. His Highness arrived in that city on the 19th of July, on his return from a tour in Hungary and other parts of the Austrian dominions. His Royal Highness continued to em ploy his time in a useful manner, applying to! his studies and passing his leisure hours agreeably in' chosen society." The Paris Papers of Sunday have arrived, but they contain no news. It would appear from the following notice in a French Paper of Sunday, that canine madness is as common at Paris as in London :—" Within these few days several persons have been bitten by dogs running about the streets. Within our own knowledge, the lives of four persons would have been in danger, had not instantaneous and painclll cauterization relieved the apprehension of their friends. The serious nature of these facts obliges us again to represent to the Magis trates, that they would do wrong not to persist in the execution of the orders which they have issued." Ship letters are in town from Pernambuco to the 28th of August. They represent the great distress that is still experienced there from the extreme drought, and the .sufferings•of the inha bitants from the want of money and provisions. Letters from Rome State that the POPE conti nues to suffer severely, though he is somewhat better. A great crowd is collected every day at the Vatican to read the bulletins of his• 8011, ness's health. Letters from St. Petersburgh state, that after the Emperor has passed in review the Russian army on the frontiers of Turkey, it is not impro bable that Moldavia and Wallachia will be oc cupied.—(Pikte.) THE LATE MR. SHERIDAN.—The life of this celebrated ornament of the British Senate, and of British Literature, written by Mr. Moout, was published this morning, and we understand that there was not only an eager competition among the trade, but among other purchasers, to obtain au early copy, an evidence at once of the admira tion in which the departed Genius is held, and of the high reputation of his learned and inge nious Biographer. MENAI BRIDGE, BANGOR FERRY, NORTH WALES.—On Saturday last this magnificent and stupendous bridge was united and fixed across the river, and the whole, we find, will be completed before December. Several parties are daily cross ing along the chain ; and it is worthy 'of remark, that during the whole period employed in form ing the stupendous rods, a perfect gale was blow ing. OWEN WILLIAMS, Esq. M.P. of Craig-y.don, and a party of ladies and gentlemen, were the first who crossed the bridge. Among this party was Mr. SOLA, well known for his musical talents, who is on a visit to a neighbourinz Noble. man, and who played " God Save the King" on the middle of the bridge, and the sounds re verberated to a great distance. Mr. 0. 'WILLIAMS had nineteen guns fired in honour of the occasion, and with his accustomed liberality sent 101. to regale the workmen. He had also a se lect party to a splendid dinner. Mr. SO LA sung an air, which he composed for the occasion, which was much admired and encored. The party did not separate till a late hour, and festi vity prevailed throughout the vicinity, a due tribute to the importance of the undertaking and the successful progress of its execution. Nothing is talked of at preient at Douai and Cambray but the Book of Hours used by Queen MARY STUART, which was brought by one of the Ladies of Honour of that Princess to Dona[• Before the Revolution this Book formed part of the town library ; in 1803 it was sold with some other Volumes belonging to the library, consider ed of no value, and it was suppo'ed to have been destroyed, but has been recovered, to the great joy of the antiquarians of the country. It is M. DUBRAY, a musician in the town of Cambray,who is the fortunate possessor. The booksellers of this town have been pressing him strongly to give it up to them ; on the other side, those of Douai assert their right to a preference, as being the ancient proprietors. En all likelihood it will be carried by the highest bidder. AN AGED DELINQUENT.—DonaId M c Donald, a Scotchman, reported to be one hundred and three years of age, was brought before the police court yesterday, charged with being a common drunkard, of which he has been convicted once before. Donald stated that he had been in various battles of the Revolution, had sailed with Paul Jones, and was at the taking of Quebec. He was found guilty, and sentenced to the House of Correction for three monaus.--Boston (United States) Courier. THE KING, &c: M'ixnstalt, oc•'. two o'clock yesterday afternoon his MAJEsTr, accompanied by the Duke of Dorset, in his pony phaeton, left the Royal Lodge for an airing in the Great Park. .His Majesty was followed by his visitors in another single and double-bodied phaeton with outriders. The Royal Party proceeded by Sandpit-Gate towards Cranbourn and the New Lodge, and continued their drive in a circui tous direction along the margin of Virginia Water Lake, and through the NeW Plantations, back to the Royal Lodge.—Yesterday evening his Grace the Duke of Welling. ton and Lord and Lady Bathurst arrived . at the Royal Lodge on a visit to his Majesty.—The interior of the Royal Lodge, last evening, presented a scene of great magnificence. Shortly after seven o'clock a most superb Banquet was served in the Grand Saloon, which was richly illuminated, and presented a most imposing appearance. The company .present were, the Dukes of Wellington and Dorset, Marquis, Marchioness, Lady E., and Lord A. Conyngham, Earl and Countess Mountcharles, Lord and Lady Bathurst, Lord and Lady 'Mary borough, Lord St. Helens, Sir W. I eppell, Sir - W. Knighton, Sir A. Barnard, Sir E. Nagle, and Colonel Thornton.--H The grand suite of rooms extending tithe south front of the Lodge were thrown open, and the * magnificent Conservatory terminating the view, which was most tastefully decorated, the supporters of the chandeliers and lamps being entwined with a profusion of the most fragrant plants. Tn the Alcove at the extremity, the private Band of his Majesty were stationed, and continued playing at intervals favourite pieces of music selected by his Majesty or guests. On Sunday his . Majesty Was prevented taking his usual airing, the weather being un favourable ;, but in the evening he entertained his visitors at dinner at the Royal Lodge. On Sunday Count Munster ar rived, and had an audience. of his Majesty, at the Royal Lodge ; after which he took rd. departure. Yesterday being the new Mayor's (John Clode, Esq.) feast day, a grand dinner was given in the Town-hall on the o ccas i on . M os t of the Officers of the Foot and Life Guards were present. • ARRIVAL 6.F THE DUKE Or CUMBERLAND IN ENGLAND. • Yesterday special messengers arrived at Windsor, with 'the information for his Majesty, that his Royal brother, the Duke ' of Cumberland, was on his way to, if he had not then actually landed in, England. The information stated, that the Duke of Cumberland, who was understood to he travelling alone, with the exception of his attendants, would arrive. not later than twelve or fourteen hours after the messengers. The in, telligence of the Duke's journey to England created consider able agitation ; the Duke of Cumberland, in reality, as we stated after the discussions on the 6,0091. allowance to the young Prince, was not expected in England till shortly previous to the next Session of Parliainent. The present sudden visit is understood to be occasioned by some urgent affairs. His Ma . - jesty, as soon as he learnt that his Royal Brother was on the road, gave directions to Col. Thornton (Aide-de-Camp to the King), and another gentleman,to proceed to Cumberland House, St. James's-place, and make preparations for the reception of his Royal Highness. They arrived in town in the evening, and the unitoisterers; together with the establishment, were immediately put into active requisition, to get the apart, merits in Saint . James's Palace ready for . -the Duke of Cumberland. The bustle, as may be imagined, - from the sud ' denness of the orders, and from few knowing the c aus e o f it, was at once considerable and puzzling; however, by 12 o'clock last night, every thing was in tolerable order for the Duke's re ception, with the exception of the exterior of the Palace,. the pavement being up at the archway, so that 'carriages could hardly pass, and timbers, &c. for the new buildings givingmomeobstrue:. tions in the Court-yard. The Duke of Cumberland was expect ed to arrive at his residence in St. James's Palace this morn, , ing about three o'clock, in his travelling carriage=and.four ; Col. Thornton, &c., from the King were there in waiting, to receive his Royal Highness, and to impart his Majesty's wishes. After some repose, it was calculated that the Duke o f Cumber land would proceed to Windsor to the King. His Royal High. tress, we understand, enjoys excellent health.—( Morning Herald.) • DEPARTURES FROM TOWN, &c. • --- 7`'nl The Duke of Devonshire from Chatsworth, for Derby ; th e Marquis and Marchioness Of Bath, from Brussels, for Paris; the Marchioness of Westmeath, on a visit to ,the Duke and Duchess of Clarence, at Bushey Park ; the Countess of.

Prince Esterhazy, the Austrian Ambassador, transacted bu. sinews with Mr. Secretary Canning, on M on d ay , at t h e Secre tary of State's Office for Foreign Affairs. Mr. Secretary Canning left town yesterday for Mr. Ellis's seat, Seaford, Sussex. Viscount Alelvile is expected to leave town this day for his residence in . Scotland ; and the Right Hon. W. litiskisson is expected to leave for Paris. . EDINBURGIi, OCT. 3.--Lard and Lady Cochrane intend to return to Sir Robert Preston's previous to leaving Scotland.— Theßeverend Edward' Irving is in town . He attended Dr. Gordon's ministrations yesterday. a ny person to ta k e care O f ' A Bor.n TuTEL—It is the custom of some fa for nlil h ie o s u o r e s c4 t t o s g io e n th a e ll r y w in iti t i l e le ut co l u ea rs v e in o g f the day to quit t h e i r h ouses them, trusting, as the lady calls it, to luck, and, as the Ins- . band gravely argues, to the improbabilties.of the case.' ' A gen-. tleman, residing at Peckham, has made it his practice fb r some time past to go with his family every Sunday to church, lnchiding the servant; Soon after the service had begun some . three Sundays back, a gig was observed to drive . u p o the door, containing a gentleman and his servant. The g entleman alighted and kn oc k e d at t h e door in gra n d style; it opened, and . the gentleman entered, the 'gig being left standing at the door with the servant in it. After having remained in the house about half an hour the stranger c a me out, got into his gig, an d . d ro ve off. The family shortly returned from church, aid soon became acquainted with the consequences'of the stranger's vi s it. One hundred sove reigns had been taken from a bureau in which they were depo sited, two gold watches, three dozen silver spoons, a silver tea-pot, and every other article of value in the.house thateould be carried about the person. It is supposed that the pretended gentleman must have picked the lock whilst he way knocking at the door, and thus effected his purpose. OBSERVANCE OF THE SABBATH.•—•The I Vestry of the Parish of Marylebone have most commendably deter mined to enforce the laws respecting the due observance of the Sabbath, which have of late been so shamefully violated.' This laudable example, we have no doubt, will be promptly f o l. lowed in every other parish of the metropolis, ANECDOTES, &c. JOHN WILKES.—This trading Patriot took great liberties with his friends, attacking them with wit, and levying contributions on their purses. Among others he was intimate with Sir •• %. ATKIN LEWES, and though, profiting much by the fortune which the Knight originally possess ed, did not fail to exercise' his wit upon him. At length the patience of Sir WATKIN was exhausted, and he said with great vehemence, " Mr. WILKES, I will, be your Butt no longer'," " with all my heart," said WlLEcus, " I never liked an empty one.".. . TILE FAMILY OF CHAILLEMAGNE.--INO f arnlly ever attained to greater eminence and power than that of CHARLEMAGNE, yet none. met with such a rapid destruction.. Within the short space of twenty-seven years, that between the years 862 and 888, the family of Louis Le Debonnaire, the son of Charlemagne, lost not less than twelve Kings and eight Princes. Louis the Ger man was the last Prince of this family who filled .the imperial throne, and he died in 911. PAttLIAMENTARY AN'F.CDOTE.—During the po pular contest with the House of Commons in the beginning of the year 1771, about debating with closed doors, in the discus sions which ended in the committal of the Lord Mayor and one of the Aldermen to the Tower, as the Members were going to the House on the day of division, a great number of people took possession of one of' the Committee-rooms, and placed a chimney-sweeper upon the chimney-piece, in order to reptesent the Speaker of the House of Commons. Air. Wilkes's letter was then read from the chair, amid loud acclamations. A motion was next made fin. expelling George Onslow, or little Cocking George (as he was called), on the ground that he was, ' during the preceding week, employed in fighting a main of cocks, when he should have been attending in Parliament : it was carried nem. con. The next motion was,'that Lord North, Lord Beauchamp, Dyson, Elliot, and several other despots, should be hanged ; and, they were hanged accordingly in chalk upon the walls. After several other motions were passed, they at length dissolved their Parliament, and showed their Speaker in derision to several Members of the House, as they bore him across Palace-yard. FENF.LON, the author of 'Telemachus, and Archbishop of Carnbray, used to , entertain Protestants as readily as Papists. Ho' was above the little distinctions of country or religion, and used to say, " that he loved his family better than himself; his country better than his family,' and mankind better than his country ; for I am more a French-• Man," added he, " than a Fenelon ; and more a man than, a Frenchman." PETER THE P ETC-It` the GItEAT resided at Mr. EVELYN'S scat,. Sayes'-'court,' near Deptford, one of his favourite recreations was to demolish the holly hedges, which were of extraordinary magnitude and beauty, and much 'mined by the owner, by, riding through them. in a Wheel.. barrow. CURES FOR AGUES.--IO a village,not a hundred miles from Yarmouth, may be seen the following inscription over the door of a cottage—.!" Her iff. zron ho firs egoos"— which may , be thus rendered—" Here lives one who cures agues." PLAIN DEALint.—WleciftßLET.was in a book seller's shop at Bath or Tunbridge, when Lady Drogheda came. in and happened to inquire •for the Plain Dealer. A friend of Wycherley's, who stood by him, pushed hini towards her, and said, " There's the Plain 'Dealer, Madam, if you want him:" Wvcherley made his excuses; and Lady Oroghe said " that she loved plain dealing best." Ile afterwaids visited that Lady, and in some time after married her. This proved a great blow to WI fortunes; just before .the time of his courtship, *he was designed• for governor to the Duke of Richmond, and was to have been allowed fifteen hundred pounds a year from the Government. His absence from Court in the progress of this amour, and his being yet more absent after his marriagekfor Lady Drogheda was very jealous of him), disgusted his friends there so much that he lost all his interest with them. His lady died : he got but little by her.; and his misfortunes were such, that he was thrown into the Fleet, and : lay there seven years.. It was then that Colonel Brett got his Plain Dealer to be acted, and contrived to get King James the Second to be there. The Colonel attended him thither. The King was mightily pleased ,with the play; asked who was the author of it; and upon hearing it was one of Wycherley's, com plained that he had not seen him for so many years,. and•in quired.what was become of him. The Colonel improved this opportunity so well, that the King, gave orders that his debts should be discharged out of the Privy Purse: Wycherley was so weak as to give an account only of five hundred pounds; and so was confined almost half a:year, until his father was pt last prevailed on to pay the rest, between two and three hun dred pounds more. CIVIL WAIZ.---The battle which decided the claims of the Houses of York and Lancaster was fought be tween Towton and Saxton, two villages near York, in 1461. It commenced on a snow storm at, day-break, was contested with fearful obstinacy till three' in the afternoon, and termi nated in a deluge of blood. Thirty-eight thousand human beings were, left dead on the field, of whom the heralds ap pointed to number the slain reported that 28,000 were Lancas trians. Edward, Duke of York, who won the day,; rode from the scene of carnage to York, where he ordered the death of several prisoners ; while Henry' the Sixth, of Lancaster, who lost.the Crown, escaped with great difficulty to the borders.

The Providence, Aguiar, from Rio Janeiro to this port, was totally wrecked 31st of July, on the N.W. edge of Corva Grand Bank, and out of 42 persons on board, only the master, mate, seven of the crew, and three passengers saved. A considerable portion of her cargo, con. sisting of wine, has been picked up. NEWLY INVENTED LIFE BOAT.—Andrew Hennessy, Passage, Cork, has constructed a life or safety boat, from models submitted to the Lords of the Admiralty and Trinity Board :rt London, and in which, we understand, 3lr. Hennessy means in a few days to proceed for London, It is 36 feet keel, 7i feet beam, and 5 feet deep, capable of saving 50 or 60 persons from a wreck, in addition to her full crew, The timbers, which are very slight, are a oak, tarred and parcelled with light strong canvass, over which there is a casing of thin whalebone, then served like a rope with 4 marline. The covering, or skin of the boat, instead of a plank, is a particular kind of canvass, of great strength and durability, and perfectly water-proof.— This canvass has been invented by Mr. Hennessy for this pe culiar purpose. The materials of this cloth have been saturated with a chemical process in the loom, which preserves it from wet and the action of the atmosphere. It always preserves its, pliability, and will not heat, mildew, or rot, The boat is decked, or covered, with the same cloth. The deck is laced through the centre fore and aft, from stem to stern-post, and covered with laps, so as to prevent water getting in. The oarsmen sit on their thwarts, which are of the canvass already described, through the deck, from which coats are 'erected, fitted by plaits to their bodies, and buckling below the breast. The use of planks, as a coating, or covering for the deck, is altogether avoided. LONDON MARKETS; &c, CORN EXCHANGE, OCT. b.

CANTERIIIIRT, OCT. 3.—Our last Saturday's market af, forded little to report in the Hop trade. The growers came with) the flattering idea oft finding prices up to 301., or at least 251,.;' but the dealers coolly talked of 181. and 201.,—0f course the parties grew shy of each, and no business was done. MAIDSTONE, OCT. I.—The Hop-picking is quite finished, and we can now safely say that the crop is considerably short of what was expected, the planters generally getting from one third part to one half less than they were estimated at a fort night back. We have had but little business yet, for although the prices are large, our farmers are so much against the duty called £22,000, that they are looking out for higher figures, and we can say but little of their value at present. Boxouott, OCT. 3.—Ou Hop Market continues brisk, and ,prices of all sorts are on the advance. The crop of new /lops in Worcestershire and Herefordshire being considerable for the season, we have a fair supply at present from those parts, and , as the demand of late has been good, their value is from 11. to 2/, per cwt. higher than this day se'nnight ; the advance on new 'Kent and Sussex during the same period has been about 34s 'Or cwt. Old Duty is estimated at 23,000/. THE 808 IN and GTIILETTS.—The final depoait . for the mill between these two men, which is to take place on Tuesday next, was made good. at Josh Hudson's last night. Bath men are in close traing, and Robin i$ the favouricr, PETER WARREN AND FRANK REDMAN.—. tirarren forfeited to. Redman, and the latter has for the present quitte I the ring, having become a Publican, but, we trust, not a sinntr. THE CHAMYIONSHIP.—A northern star, from Newcastle, is about to challenge any man in England fbr from .5001. to 1,0001. Tor" Shelton will take his benefit on Wednesday next, when his antagonist, Brown, will show in the metropolitan circles for the first time. FORGERY AND ATTEMPT AT SWINDLING.—On Monday, a young man, having the appearance of broker's clerk, called at the counting-house of Messrs. Peek, Brothers, and Co., East India merchants in Coleman-street, stating that he came from Mr. Curwen, the broker i Ea t'heap,with an offer es 3yen chests of Congou teas from - the last Mareh sales, the holder of which being inconvenienced by payments made to the East India Company, wished to dispose of the tea for ready money. Transactions of this kind being always managed by a broker, and as Mr. Curwen was not unknown to the house, Messrs. Peek offered a market price, which the young accept. ed, and promised that Mr. Curwen should send the account and the warrant. Shortly after, an errand-boy called at Messers. Peek's counting-house with an account of the tea, amounting to 1601., and he also produced. the East India Company's Warrant, which stated'that the so ea chests of tea belonging to Mr. Curwen remained in their ware houses. The boy requested payment, as he had to pay 841. in Finsbury-square. Messrs. Peck were aware who were Mr. Curwen's bankers, but they notwithstanding put that question to the bop. He replied that he did not know, and said he would ascertain their names.. He, however, never returned, and the whole trick was then discovered. Strong suspicion attaches to a discharged banker's clerk, who has made his appearance at the bar of the Old Bailey. SUMMARY PUNI!HMENT.—On the Tewkesbury race-course, on Thursday last, a genteel dressed man, booted and spurred, was detected in the act of picking a gentleusan's pocket; on a hue and cry being raised, the culprit was seized by the multitude, and dragged down to the Severn, into which, head foremost, he was soused, without any ,cere mony, and which he swam across, very little aided, we pre sume, by his boots and spurs,; his confederates, in the mean time, having conducted hisßosinante to the opposite side, he mounted her, and got clear off. —The following day, another of, the light-fingered gentry was detected in pick ing a pocket, when he was served in a similar manner . ; but whether owing to the want of boots and spurs,. or rather, as some imagine, not being so expert a swimmer, he was nearly drowned, and was with difficulty extricated from his perilous situation by having a rope thrown oat to him, with which he was safely dragged on shore, though ap, parently much exhausted. We hope that this lesson of haying once been saved by a rope, will have a salutary effect upon his future conduct, which, if persisted in, will, perhaps, have a eoth Crary tendency.—(Cheltenham Journal.)
