FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Gazette de France, dated Sundiy, Ott. 7.) VIENNA, 'SEPT. 27.—His Majesty arrived here to-day at one o'clock in perfect health, and was im mediately visited by the Imperial Family and the Infant Don Miguel. A report has been spread, the authenticity of which we cannot w.arrant, that his Imperial High ness. the Crown Prince has resolved to contract a marriage with, ti Getman Princess. PAAIS, 'OCT. Us make a division of truth and error between the papers this morning. is false, that the King of Spain has returned to IVLadrid, as the constiititionne/ says. It is false, that Spain meditates an expedition against Mexieo, and that it has chosen out a King /or that state, as the Journal des Debuts says. It is false, that the Isle of Imbros has been en sanguined by the massacre of 1,500 Greeks, on the news of the treaty of the three Powers, as the Caurrier Francais says. It i 3 false, that a new delay to the 15th of Sep tembet has been granted to ,the Ottoman Porte, as' the Quotidictmo says. It is false, that, as this last paper says, the French squadron in the Mediterranean is to be reinforced by some ships of war. It is true, that his Majesty returns to Paris, on Sunday, the 7th. It is true, that French soldiers and travellers are perfectly respected by the insurgents on the frontiers, and in all parts of Catalonia. It is true, that the Gazette and the'Quoticlienize last week agreed with reason in pointing out the threatening combinations of a party which represents as a legal movement and a calm attitude, the mani- . festations in the Champ de Mars, and the speeches at the funeralof M. Man,z,l. It is true, that the general interest of thipeace of the world, and the respective interest of the•pros perity of the great Powers, has united them in a system of alliance, the leading principle of which, setting aside all individual ambition, is the most ge nerous ideas, and the most conformable to real civili zation, which rests above all things on respe(:, for legitimate rights and interests. (IFRIVATZ COlttlElsl'ol4oP,ftE.) BARCELONA, SEPT. 26.7-Our Captain-General ha 3 directed the insetti;fn ofthe following article in our journal : It has mined my knowledge that my conduct has been censured on account of a want of confor mity observable in the Royal decree of hie 'Majesty, published in the journal of this city, dated the 10th, and in which the King gives his authority for arming the inhabitants who voluntarily offer their services, with the same decree which is inserted in the Ga zette of the 4th. I have compared them, and, in Fact,- I observe that in the former the important qualifications of loyal' and ' sure' are wanting, which ought to appear in those who receive arms. " As a faithful subject, good servant; and friend to the King, I am incapable of introducing the smallest alteration in the meaning and words of his sovereign orders ; and on this account I direct the publication in this journal of the said Royal order, as I have re 'ceived it from the Minister of War, &c. (Signed) " Marquis de CAMPO SAGRADO." A few days ago, a courier extraordinary brought some despatches for - our Captain-General, as well as for General Monet, announcing that the King had authorized General Romagosa to negotiate with the rebels. Romagosa is now in the midst of the factious, and there is no doubt that he will be able to effect an arrangement between the parties. He possesses - considerable influence amongst the in .aurgents, - _, The news of the artiVal of the King in Catalonia .11s, not intimidated the rebels ; on the contrary, they have given orders to raise a general somatin, which demonstrates satisfactorily that they have no great respect for the name of the King, and that they are preparing themselves for a sanguinary con flict with the Royal troops ; at least should the mediator, Romagosa, not succeed in reconciling the interests of all parties. The whole of the country occupied by the rebels is a scene of robbery, oppression, arrests, and assas sinations, which succeed each other daily. NEWS FROM CATALONIA PERPIGNAN, SEPT. 29.—As soon as the Marquis de Campo. Sagrado received intelligence that the King of Spain was to arrive at Tarragona on the 27th, his Excellency moved towards that city with a strong body of cavalry and infantry. The rebels attacked him on the road ; they were repulsed, with the loss of 100 men killed. Hu arrived at Tarra gona on the 26th, as well as General Manse with his brigade.. From another quarter, intelligence by sea states as a positive fact, that the different divi sions of rebels occupying the camp of Tarragona have united, and placed themselves in advance of the King. " It is stated in a letter from St. Sebastian, dated September 28, as follows : " Yesterday ' at noon, there arrived here for the Captain General, a cabinet courier, who likewise brought orders for the Viceroy of Navarre. All that I have been able to learn respecting this arrival is, that his Majesty King k'erditiand has returned to Madrid. I know neither, when rior wherefore. The letter which we heve received to-day from Madrid says nothing abo; d t i t ; but the cabinet-courier left Madrid later than the post.'

It is a curious fact, that the two Intendant Generals of Police, who have lately wielded their dreadful power in Spain and Portugal, are now in London. M. Recacho, late from Madrid and Lisbon, arrived a few days ago in the steam-packet, and M. Randuffe came in the last regular packet from Lisbon. A Collection of Memoirs relative to the History of Great Britain, with notes and illustrations, is, we understand, now in the course of publication. The work will commence with the Diary of Sir Symond d'Ewes, and be followed by the Memoirs of Sir James Melville, Gentleman of the Bedchamber to Mary Queen of Semi, printed from the original MSS. found amongst the paper; of the Earl of Marchmont, and presented to the pub lisher by Sir George Rose. The venality of Courts of Justice in Turkey forms a continual object of satire in the tales and panto mimes of the people themselves. "It is difficult to do justice," said one Cadi to another, " when one of the parties is rich and the other poor."—" No," replied his colleague, for then I decide, of course, for the rich; the only difficulty is when both are rich, for then 1 do not knew on which side to incline." The celebrated David is well known to have had a violent antipathy to modern costume, a taste that snore than once caused him to sacrifice historical truth to pictorial effect. In his Coronation of Napoleon, he in troduced Cardinal Caprara bald-beaded. His Eminence, displeased at this license of the painter, remonstrated with him, but to no purpose, for the artist vowed he would never condescend to paint so unclassieal an object as a wig. The unwigged Cardinal then made application to Talley rand, to interpose his authority, but this also had no el . feet; David was still inexorable ; and poor Caprara was obliged to compelled to endure the mortification of being handed down to posterity as a wigless member of the sa cred college. Yesterday evening an inquest was held at the Bell and Horns, Brompton, touching the death of Captain . Henry Allen Lyster, who died suddenly at' his house, No. Michaers-place, Brompton, on Sunday. The deceased had been under the care of Mr. Charles Bell, the celebrated surgeon, for the last two years, for a complaint in his head ; and Mr. Woolf, conceived that his appearance was that of an red a do fin' The jury, after viewing the body, returned yerditt Died by the visitation of God."• In the f o rthcoming " Chronicles of the Canon gate," Sir Walter, Scott is in his own proper person to ex plain why he prese rved his fie rn . ta n o lgoito so long; and upon what materials o f h e t or and of a or nynaous contributi on , eonse of•laist. avowed •ti ano. hare been foundecl.—...s un d ou "War pro ductions per. RUSSIA AND CHINA, , It is a fact, perhaps not generally known, that the Russian Government has-had, for a century past, a regularly established religious and scientific mission at Pekin, not merely tolerated or connived at by the Chinese Government, but openly existing under the sanction of a formal treaty, roncluded in the year 1728, the fifth article of which is in the following terms.:-L-" The Russians shall henceforth occupy at Pekin the Konen or Court, which they now inhabit. According to the desire of the Aussian Ambassador, a church shall be built with the assistantb of the Chinese Government. The Dtiest who now resides there, and three others who ale expected, shall live in the Kvatan above-mentioned. These three priests shall be attached to the same church, and receive the same provisions as the present priest. 'rite Russians shall be permitted 'to worship their God, according to the ritet or their religion. Four young students, and two of a more advanced age, acquaint ed with the Russian and Latin languages, shall also be received into this house, the Ambassador wish ing to leave them at Pekin to learn the languages of the country.' They shall be maintained ei the ex pence of the Emperor, and shall be pertnittesl to re turn to their own country as soon as they have finished their studies. The maintenance of the mission' annually costs the Chinese Government above 1,000 rubles, and 9,000 pounds of rice ;- and the Russian Government 16,950 silver rubles : of this last sum, 1,000 rubles are set apart for the maintainance and instruction of the young Albazins who live at Pekin, and who are descendants of the Cossacks of Albaain. The .translator of alt interest ing account of.the travels of a Russian in China very justly remarks, that it is natural to inquire what ad vantages lite.rature and science have derived froM the Russians having thus possesSed, for a hundred years, an opportunity which no'other Christian na tion has enjoy d, and• which; had it been allowed to natives or tngland, France, or Germany, would most probably have long since made us fully ac quainted with every thing relative tothe history, the ' institutioes, the Government, &c. of this great em pire and its extensive dependencies? To this no answer of a satisfactory nature can be given. Although the Russian, Government possess th e above-mentioned privilege,-the Celestial Empire gra tifies its vanity by retaining Russia in the lists of its tributary states ; and in the Hoei-tian or fundamen tal code of the empire, where every thing relative to the embassies from those countries which are ac counted tributaries is regulated, there is a chapter treating of the manner of receiving the Russian Em bassies. It is there laid down, that the Ambassador shall be daily supplied with a sheep, a vessel of wine, a pound of tea, a pitcher of milk, two ounces of butter, two fish, two cups of oil for the lamps, a pound of salted cabbage, four ounces of soya, four ounces of vinegar, and an ounce of salt. Every ninth day he receives from the Emperor's own table, as a mark of special favour, four dishes and ten tea pots' full of tea prepared in the Mantchoo fashion. No other Ambassador is treated With so much at tention. The provisions furnished to the suite of the Ambassador are also. specified in the Hoei-tian. It is remarked by M. Klaproth, who has published a' work on the subject of the last embassies from Eng land and Russia, that the former is much more fa vourably situated with respect to China than the latter; and that the representative of the empire of the Czars was called upon to submit to certain hu miliating formalities which were dispensed with as it related to the British Ambassador : this difference is accounted for, among other reasons, by Russia being considered as a tributary state. CORRESPONDENCE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—In an Evening Paper of Friday last ap peared an article commemorative of Dryden's juve nile days, of his careless disposition, of the preco cious brilliancy of his genius, and of a former usage of Westminster School, which exacted from the head boys daily comments on some passage in Scripture. With the general truth conveyed in this paragraph I was, long since, made acquainted by private tradi tion, passed down to me from my ancestor, Dr. Richard Busby : but the transcriber of the youthful poet's unrivalled, though extemporaneous couplet, will allow me to correct his copy : Instead of " The modest water out'd his pow'r divine, It saw its GNI, and blusli'd itself to wine ;" Read— " The modest water, aw'd by POIV'I Cunfess'd the God, and blush'd itself to wine•" I am, Sir, your humble Servant, THOMAS BUSBY [With all due respect for the authority of .eur gifted Correspondent, we have seen somewhere (we believe in Johnson's Life of Dryden) a different version of the matter, and one more sublimely condensed. It was— " The conscious water saw its God and blosh'd."—En. ] 441)r 4 TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR—No Journalist displaying more liberality and public spirit than the Editor of THE SUN, no one, of course, would more willingly promote any project calculated to benefit the community ; I therefore address you, to state, that having discovered means by which the very extraordinary and equally im portant advantage may be obtained, of almost in stantaneously transmitting idea; and intelligence to any distance, I shall be happy in hearing from any Nobleman or Gentleman, to whom you may think proper to communicate so signal a circumstance, and whose love of science and regard for the Ha. tional interest, might induce him to be instrumental in giving effect to so novel and incalculably useful an invention. I have the honour, Sir, to subscribe myself, Your's, &c. - B. T, October 4, 1827. _ _ [Not acquainted with the means by which our Corre spondent proposes to realise his apparently chimerical ob ject, we of course can give no opinion, either respecting their feasibility, or their ingenuity ; but in this age of phi losophical and mechanical wcylders, it is so difficult to say what is impossible, that rather than not open the way to a chance of public good, we promise B. T. to receive any communications that the Readers of THE SUN may be pleased to make to him on the subject of his Letter.—ED.] On Thursday Mr. Hunt, the great London Reformer, arrived in this city, on his route to the Lakes of Killarney. It would seem that on his return he intends to remain in Cork for a short time on business only. —Cork Constitution. Yesterday an inquest was held at the sign of the Bank public-house, King-street, Bloomsbury, on the body of Joseph Harwood, aged 45, who came by his death under the following circumstances .—lt appeared in evi dence that the deceased was a man of most healthy ap pearance, and was never heard to complain of illness ; but, on the contrary, whenever he heard any of his friends or acquaintances complain, he would frequently boast of never having had a day's illness in all his life. On Friday last he quitted home for the purpose of taking a walk, and on his return he took his seat by the fire-side, when he was observed to turn exceedingly pale, and he complained of violent pain and sickness of 'the stomach, and he con tinued in the most excruciating agony for several hours. He was put to bed, and a medical gentleman was instantly procured, but the deceased expired, although every as sistance was rendered him. Mr. Dirges, a surgeon, proved that his death was caused by the rupture of a blood vessel. Verdict—" Died by the Visitation of God." On last Monday morning the following ac cident occurred at Ewhurst, in this county. As a gentle man was pouring gunpowder from his flask on a heated plate, to give it better effect in the field (a practice not nncommon among sportsmen), the powder ignited and ex ploded ; by which, we are told, the gentleman had the thumb of one of his hands nearly blown off, and the flesh otherwise badly lacerated. The flask was driven, by the explosion, with great force towards two female servants, sitting at breakfast; but they escaped the danger, as it passed harmlessly between them, and, 'tis said, lodged in a partition of lath and plaster at some distance from them. Had it struck the head of either, the blow, in all likeli hood, would have proved fatal.-- Sussex Advertiser. LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 9, 1927. The Paris Papers 81 . Saturday, with the Gazette de France dated Sunday, have been received, but they furnish us with no additional news from Greece. The accounts from Spain differ little from what we have already received. FERDINAND has not yet re-appeared. on the stage in his fugitive journey to Catalonia, nor is there any indication by which to trace his Royal steps in this questionable pilgrimage. One thing, horVever, is pretty dear, that the Rebels are making the best use of their time, and employing whatever means they can for the accomplishment of their views. What these views really are we do not yet know,—the pro. fessed object of the Rebels is to emanci pate their King, that he may enjoy the full benefit of abSolute power, with all the horrors of the Inquisition. If this be so, they will find FERDINAND a ready and grateful Monarch, who • will dispense the terrors of Sovereignty in a masterly manner. But we sus 'vet that other motives besides these influence the conduct of the disaffected, for it is impos sible, even in the present degraded state of Spanish patriotism, that the people would rise so simultaneously to invest-the King with a still more absolute power to work their ruin, after the ample proofs which they have lately experienced of his disposition to harrass and enslave them. The Gazette de France contradicts an asser tion in the Constitutionnel that FERDINAND had returned to Madrid, and adds that the French soldiers and travellers are perfectly re spected by the Insurgents on the frontiers and in all parts of Catalonia. We do not qUestion the correctness of this fact, but we think it implies a secret understanding between the Rebels and the French Army, or the latter would not surely remain inactive while the Insurgents are keeping the country, which the French army specially re mains to protect, in a state of anarchy and trouble, unless some sympathy were felt for the cause of the Insurgents at the head-quarters of the French. There has been so much duplicity manifested by the French Government in all matters relating to Spain that we are justified in ascribing to them the most illiberal intentions, if not the most culpable acts. They have the disposition to do that which policy only whispers them to defer till a fitter opportunity offer. Their inter ference with Spain, on the declaration of friendly aid, has ended in its military oceu-2 pation, which they have in vain attempted to justify on the ever-varying plea of State-neces sity, And what has been the consequence of their armed interference ? continued misery to the Spanish people, and humiliation to their Go vernment. The loss of commerce abroad and the ruin of trade at home. The annihilation of the Navy, and the disorganization of the Military forces, whose fidelity is so questionable that the King prefers to trust his person to foreign hire lings rather than to native affection. It was im possible that such a state of things could con tinue their demoralizing influence without producing an effect contrary to the wishes of the party who compromised the independenc e of their country for the temporary attainment of selfish advantages ; and now they begin to feel the effects of their baseness , as e v e nt s develops more clearly their real situation , and the predica ment in which the King is placed. A few days will throw more light upon the stormy aspect of affairs in that devoted country, and enable us to speak with greater cert a i nty w i t h respek to the real designs of the Insurgents, and their indifferent friends, the French. In the mean time we are told that FERDINAND has sent RontAGosA to treat with the Rebels, but the nature of his instructions was not known. Extracts will be found in another column. We received this morning the Diario di Roma, of the 22d ult. Its news from Greece have been partly anticipated through other channels. It says that IBRAHINI PACHA had ordered a Corps of Egyptians to destroy the crop of figs at Maine, while a Squadron was to second the operations of the troops in the Gulf; but Lord COCHRANE wits preparing to destroy the squadron. W a p. prebend- that the acceptance by the Port‘ of the ultimatum, will put a period to any furher hostilities, so soon as it is known in tle i'lorea (3Y AN EXIRAORDINARY CHANNEL.) CORFU, SEPT. 2. We expect here every moment , the Russian squadron. The last letters from Napoli, di Romania announce that that Government, doing justice to the honourable conduct and singular merit of Prince Maurocordato, bad caused him to be attended from Poros to that city with ail possibly hononrs: The same Government has since ordered an ek pedition to the Island of Crete, which will be conducted by the Prince and by Col. Fabvier. An army of 10,000 Greeks was assembling at St. tlassi, to bildettake the blockade of Patras. Griva with 1,000 men and the most distinguished Generals of Greece were expected there. Ibrahim Pacha had sent 'a corps of Egyptians to Maina, to destroy the crop of figs, which is the ehief produce of that country. He had also ordered the second Ottoman squadron to go to the Gulf to protect this operation by sea. Lord Coehrane was preparing to enter the Gulf of Mains With the intention of making an attempt to destroy that squadron. Sir E. Codiington is appointed Admiral and Commander in-Chief of all the British naval forces in the Adriatic, the Mediterranean, and the Archipelago. A vessel of Lord Cochrane's has arrived at Zante from Marseilles, with 4,000 francs, cent by the French Com mittee to pay the seamen unuer his Lordship's command. We every moment expect at Corfu Capt. Spencer, whO is to bring from Constantinople the answer of the Porte to the ultimatum of the Allied Powers. The Piednzontese Gazette, of the 29th ult., received this morning, contains some particulars respecting the progress of the Egyptian Fleet, but its arrival at Navarino renders any account of its previous course comparatively unimportant : TU R IN, SEPT. 28._ The Florence Gazette mentions that after the depar ture of the Egyptian fleet from Alexandria, an English tnan•oc-war had arrived in that port, with despatches for the English Consul, who was ordered to call upon the Viceroy not to interfere Any further in the affairs of Greece. His answer was not known, but it is believed that it was not favourable ; in fact, it was reported that the above. mentioned vessel remained in the port for the purpose of receiving the Consul on board,-if it should be necessary. Other accounts state that the Turco-Egyptian fleet has been seen first at Rhodes, and afterwards, in the beginning of September, towards Bomba, on the coast of Africa, op posite to Candia. It is not easy to determine whether it was compelled by the winds to proceed in that direction, or whether it purposely steered that course to avoid the meeting any interruption in the Archipelago. The most recent letters from Malta announce, that immediately on receipt of the news of the sailing of the Turco-Egyptian fleet, three or four English men-of-war that were in that port put to sea. _ _ The Austrian Observer of the 27th, copies from the Osservatore Triestine, a letter from Smyrna of the 18th relative to the four Austrian merchantmen recaptured by Count Dandolo; also a letter from Saloniehi of the 22d of July, stating the safe arrival in that port of the Austrian schooner, the count Saurau, Captain L. Lucovich, which on its way from Smyrna to Salonichi, was attacked by two piratical vessels, which were repulsed with great bravery, and having sustained considerable injury, took flight; and were pursued by Captain Lucovich, who com pelled them to run aground, when the pirates escaped on shore. Captain Lucovich, satisfied with having saved his ship, and given the pirates a lesson, which they would not soon forget, continued his course to Salonichi, where he was most joyfully welcomed by several Turks who had been made prisoners by the pirates, and took the opportu nity of escaping when the pirates ran away. • Another letter from Smyrna, Aug. 18, (also in the Trieste Observer) says—a merchantman from Leghorn, which has arrived here, brings word that it met off Cerigo the squadron of the Captain Pacha (properly the Capitau Beg Tahir Pacha) of 22 sail, who sent a boat to bring the captain on board his Admiral's ship, from which both went on board a frigate, in which was Ibrahim Paeha.— The captain learnt on this occasion, that the squadron waited in those seas to join the Egyptian fleet that sailed from Alexandria, on the 31st July. (The Egyptian fleet it reported in some accounts to have been, on the 22d of August, still at Macri, on the coait of Caramania.) The Angerneine Zeitung of the 2d Oct. copies the above article from the Austrian Observer, but has •no other news from the Levant. A Quebec Paper of the Ist September, has been received at the North . and South American Coffee-house. It says, that the Surveyor- General was absent on a tour through the Pro vince, in pursuance of instructions from the Go vernor-in-Chief, for the purposes of collecting materials to fill up certain statistical and topo graphical returns required at the Colonial Office for the information of his MA JESTY'S Ministers, as also of acquiring a knowledge of the general state of the new settle ments in the townships, in furtherance of the objects of his tour in 1824. The Surveyor will traverse, in the first instance, the old settlements of the country, and will afterwards visit those sections of it more recently settled by the Emi grant population. The Drummond Island Detachment of the 70th Regiment arrived at Quebec on Wednes day ; the remaining division of that Regiment emhailed on Thursday for Cork, in the Arab transport, and was to proeeed to sea on Saturday the Ist:of:September. Nothing .further has been received from Con stantmope,respectiong the decision of the Porte than what we communioated yesterday. We are, however, , in hourly expectation of additional information. According to private letters, the SULTAN has consented tv ' negotiate , on the understanding that Greece would be the only topic in which.. the Allied Powers were determined to interfere. His High ness, it appears, thought, or affected to think, that they had ulterior objects in view, and was therefore resolved, with becoming spirit, to resist their intervention in the outset ; but learning that their mediation only extended to Greece, he is said ,to have made a vir tue of necessity, and yielded to their propo sition. If this be so, we hail it as a happy omen for the Greeks, while it must be c onsidered by all friends of humanity as a fortunate event, by putting an end to the barbarous warfare of exterminatioil hitherto carried on between the oppressor and his former slaves. Unless Turkey fall from the folly of its own Govern ment, it must be the interest of at least two of the Allied Powers to maintain its independence, and the S u LTAN need entertain no fears respecting the dismemberment of his Empire, through any Treaty in which Great Britain is actively concerned. The representation of the Hecuba of Euri pides at the triennial visitation of Reading School will not be, as we mentioned in our last, on the 16th, 17th, and 15th, but on the 156, 16th, and 17th.—Sunday SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(T HIS DAY.)

The chief Conversation in the City this morning has been on the subject of the intelligence received from Constantinople, which, by those persons who are considered well acquainted with Turkish diplo macy, is considered to be so far settled that a peace ful issue to the negociations will be the result. There are, however, individuals who are rather unwilling to believe this ; it does not suit the state of their accounts, they being systemittic Bears, and they are accordingly loud in their expressions of a hostile Lture. - in this, however, we do not participate, for the Porte having .consented to negociate with the Allied Powers on the subject of the Greek treaty, gives an assurance of pacific views, and renders the objects more attainable than at any period since the intervention of the European Powers. Consols opened at 87 i f, both for money and account; - the doubt relative to the Turkish news had an unfavour able effect on the market, and they'declined to 86k, sellers, for a moment, and may now be quoted at 86i 7 ; the money market continues good, India Bonds still continue rising, and are 94. 6 ; Exchequer Bills are 62 3 pm.

Brazilian Bonds are a trifle hichj 54i 5; Colombian exhibit weakness, and are 261 I; Mexican Bonds are heavy, at a decline of half per cent., 46i j; and Portuguese, at 74i 5 ; the unsettled, weak, and vacillating conduct 6( that Government inspiring nothing of confidence in the Pritish public.

EIGHTEEN MILES FROM LONDON. FIGHT THIS DAY BETWEEN DICK CURTIS AND JACK TISDALE. ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY TO ONE HUNDRED POUNDS• This fightswhich has excited so much inter - et in th e sporting world, took place to-day in a large field, a shOrt distance from Staines. Most of our reader e are : already aware, that in consequence of the tirip4rW length and science of the Pet, he was backed 1201. r' OW. The general betting ors the match varied from 2t° I, to 5 to 2, and some were so confident of Curtis's success' that they went so high as three to one on Jem. The friend s of Tisdale were in the first quite full of his sustaining hie former reputation, and took every thing that was offere d against him—but within the last few days their confidenc e abated, and this morning they refused to take two to ode which was actually "going a-begging." Of the Pet it is hardly necessary to say one word. Not to know him, and all about him, would argue One's elf unknown. As Tisdale, however, has not been so muc h before the public, it may not be uninteresting: to give 5 short sketch of hie pugilistic career. His science was el' ways considered first-rate, and his style of fighting s oin what like the Pet's. His first battle of any note was wi tb a tailor named Coates, in Spa-fields ; Coates was much heavier than him, weighing in fact I I stone, yet in 00 hour and a quarter he was laid as flat as his own slier board. Tisdale's next battles were with Harry Ire o ' monger, wham he twice polished off in superior style' In August, 1819, he fought Sales, a butcher, in 'Whi t ', Conduit-fields, and beat him soundly in an hour and 1 ' minutes. Mason, well known at the Five's Court, 05 ' beaten by Tisdale on the day Turner and Jack Mall' u ° fought. The result of his next battle, which was CON, the Norwich Champion, placed Tisdale in tba highest estimation among the fistic amateurs. Tistlia l last set-to was with Lenney, the cow-boy; who had Po' viously taken the shine so completely out of Ned Drove , the Sprig of Myrtle. On that occasion; Tisdale was 6'; conded by the notorious Jack Thurtell. In the very 6°, round Tisdale broke the bone of his thumb, which ha been previously hurt very severely; but notwithstandi l this great disadvantage be won the battle in the 0 0 ,, gallant style. . Some months elapsed before our he'" thumb was restored to its pristine firmness. TiSclale not since entered the ring, although he has repeateali sparred.
