of the author of " Jerusalem Delivered," is amply pourtrayed in his exquisite poem on the subject of the poet's imprisonment, one of the most beautiful and pathetic' of his prolific muse. The mutations to which this place has been exposed, presents as fair specimen of the fate of Italy generally. Hundreds of its fine palaces are either in ruins or deserted. The refectory of an immense c onvent—that of the Benedictines —in which there is a fine fresco, containing a portrait of Ariosto by his contemporary Dossa lasso, is converted into a stable, while the con vent itself, has beCOme a military quarter I There is much to amuse and excite the attention of the lovers of the Fine Arts in the pictures and frescos to be seen here ; I was more particularly struck with a Last Judgment among the hitter. It is in the - Cathedral, and from the pencil of Sebas tian del Piomba ; next to the productions of Michael Angelo and Raphael I have'never seen the subject so well vented. Ferrara has lately lost a youth, whose talents as an artist, bid fair io place him on a level with the best master of Italy. His name was Dellavalle, he died at Rome at the early age of fourteen, after having completed a Massacre of the Innocents, now hung on the walls of the church of La Certosa here, and an astonishing composition for his age. The Certosa, which was formerly a convent of great wealth, comprising with its gardens, a circum ference of two miles 'within the city. walls, has been converted to a Cainpo Santo, or burying ground, in imitation of the celebrated cemetery of Bologna: It is surprising how much the Ita 'liens surpass us in the respect shown .to their dead. Here, every individual, however mean his birth, is honoured with an epitaph. Flowers are thickly planted round the burying-grounds, and each 'family of distinction has its vault. Most of these contain monuments from the chisels of the best sculptors of the day. While walking round this abode of the departed, 'death seems to be deprived of half its terrors. On re turning to the hotel, we passed through a large square, in the centre of which stood a lofty marble column. Our guide, pointing to it said, that it had been first raised by Pope Alexander VI., whose statue was placed on the top. This was taken down to give place to the Goddess of Liberty, after which that of Napoleon was sub etituted. It is now a matter of doubt whether the new Pontiff or the Emperor of Austria is to be the new candidate for a place on the pillar. BOLOGNA, AUG. 3,—When on my way to the Levant last year, I told %you that Bologna was one of the dullest cities in Italy, save and ex cept its magnificent gallery ; and; will you be lieve it, the Campo Santo, a public cemetery, one of the most celebrated in Europe. Having described that of Ferrara, I shall only say of this, that it is on a much larger scale, ornamented with many splendid monuments; among which there are several by the Prince of modern sculp ture, Canova ; and that no traveller ought to pass through Bologna without visiting a spot that really does honour to the civilization of the age. Here I would fain express a hope that some step may be promptly taken in England to imitate the superiority of Italy and France in this respect. I have paid another visit to the Opera House, and saw Rossini's best effort of the bufra, kind in the Barbiere di Seviglia, but badly acted, by an indifferent corps dra inatique. You have heard a great deal about the extent of mendicity in this country ; it arises from two potent causes—bad government, and the melan choly fact of there being no provision for the poor in the Papal States. Owing, however, to a regulation of the,poliee, the evil is diminished in the eyes of strangers, inasmuch as that public begging is may allowed one day in the week— Friday. On this day all the mendicants of the city and environs are permitted to take their rounds ; and if is an invariable rule that where ever they present themselves something is given. Each shOpkeeper; for instance, has a small box well stored with quatrino, and on the poor man's Appearing at Ilia door lie is seen to receive the usual donation. When I add that not less than five thousand poor are thus enabled to exist in Bologna alone, you will be able to form some idea of the charitable disposition of the in habitants. I believe I have already told you that there are several mendicant orders among the re stored convents. Missionaries from them are seen traversing the country in every direction, and, from all I have heard, make a very good harvest in the course of their perambulations. The only new fact I have ascertained relative to the arrangements of the present Pope is, that instead of an • absolute Inquisition, there are Apostolical aenta placed in each large town, for the purpose of preventing the growth of free thinking, and infidelity in matters of religion, and vested with power to arraign all those who betray a tendency to . scepticism. I have reason to believe that, so far from preventing the pro gress of liberal opinions, this new measure of Leo XII. only tends to stimulate them, while they render the Papal Government more odi ous than ever. • A peasant, with whom I en tered into conversation on my way here, after recounting the various hardships to which the people are subjected, ended by observing—" Be assured, Sir, that, of all Governments, a religious one, such as our's, is the worst ; and that so long as it exists, there is no hope of happiness or prosperity for poor Italy." This is really the common language of the lower classes, and may serve to give you a tolerable notion of their sagacity. . . . . IMPOSTURE. --The following occurrence took place in the parish of Inkberrow, in this county. A f ew of mean appearance called upon a wheel.: d w a r y ig s h a t g , o a , n a d man inf informed him that a rich relative of the name : name had lately died at Liverpool, bequeathing by his will, of which he (the informant).i fa tt m or i , iy a . very con-t Ile ac countedsiderable property to the h was eewi a i n gh e tT w f his dress, from having been for the shabbiness 0 robbed of all his clothes and va luabl es at Leicester, where-, 1 , ; t o wards Worces tershire the dress he slept on his journey he now wore was an old eta of the landlord's, who also,' . route ; he bad lent him a few shillings to pursue h is walk ed the whole way, not being able to r ide; having been tee.: . 1 panned when only eight years of age; a write, and this eircuin- stance accounted for never having learned to in .ve' extensi other deficiencits; he nevertheless carried.on an 'business in Liverpool, and was a relative, and interested! the will of the testator.—Being in want of money and common necessaries, on account of his unfortunate disaster at I.sitester, lie prevailed upon the wheelwright to write to niirsister Juli a , w h o kept his house, to set out mime • diately for lakberrow, and bring plenty of the'nettlful, and then the.whele party were to return to Liverpool to sell the testator's Property, and settle the legacies.

FRENCH PAPERS. (From the ConstitutionneL) BARCELONA, SEPT. 11.—Within these three or four days there have been arrested during night, and thrown into prison, 85 of the richest inhabitants of Vich. At Reus, and in the other principal towns in the power of the rebels, the rich merchants and Men of property are the persons chiefly persecuted. Our authorities have just received the fltst, second, and third numbers of the journal which the directing Junta of Catalonia established at Manresa has pub lished. The following is the translation of 'the third number, the latest which the rebels have printed:— By order of the Government; ' _ Manresa, (printed by Martin Trullas.) • From the Catalonian Royalist, Sunday, Sept. 9.) Live Religion ! Live the absolute King ! Live the Inquisition! Death to the Police ! Death to Masonry, and all secret sects ! THE NEWS OF THIS PRINCIPALITY. The Commandant of the Royalist troops of Vich las addressed to the Inhabitants the following pro- clamation Live the King ! Cataloniaut,wfro love the King, and obey his sovereign decrees, do•not believe that the troops already raised follow the cause, or will ever embrace the party of, the Constitutionalists, as some have attempted to make you believe. No, never; our glorious object is that' our well-beloved Monarch, Ferdinand VII., should be delivered from the infaMous Masons, who, by artifice and cunning, have contrived to usurp the Government. It is in vain that his Majesty has dictated the decree relative to several military proclamations, with orders to ex amine most rigorously into the informations, when the greater part of the members of the juntas of purification are themselves not yet purified, or have succeeded in getting themselves declareti its a state of purification through intrigue or bribery, while none of the individuals, who formed part of the Royalist army, have yet been appointed members of the said juntas. But why speak of purifications ? They were not necessary : several constitutional civil and military officers have obtained appointments without undergoing any purification, while Royalists have been dismissed from their places with the most arbitrary effrontery. What might not he said on the infraction of the sovereign decrees issued for the purpose of granting employments to the Royalists, particularly that of the 9th of August, 1824, which orders- that they shall have the preference ? How many orders has not his Majesty issued for the execution of those decrees, particularly for the punishment of the revo lutionists, and for indemnifying, in preference to all other things, the towns and villages for the damage and loss they sustained in defence of the just cause ? All this has been done in vain ; the Royalists have been exposed to derision and to the cruellest perse cutions; the Constitutionalists have enjoyed favour and protection; the contractors for the Constitu tional Government have been indemnified, while the advances made for the just cause are entirely for gotten. The Constitutionalists have been em ployed, and the Royalists dismissed. Finally, im portant offices have been conferred on Constitu tional militiamen, while the honourable titles of re ligion, fidelity, and Royalism, have become motives of exclusion, which bar our approach to the throne. Interrogate Pihuela, the comptroller of the army, he who in this province so loudly boasted of being a Royalist, who placed one of his relations, formerly a militia-man, in the Custom-house of Villanueva and Gertrue. This man drove one of the best of Royalists from his situation. Interrogate Gayo, the Intendant of this province, as well as Pombo, another comp troller: the former a political chief under' the Con stitution, and the second a secretary to the Masonic junta, have dismissed all the Royalists from their places, and refused to pay them the pensions which his Majesty granted for their services. Interrogate the Inspector-General of Infantry, who to retain his place, and to raise himself to a still higher rank, has gone such a length in adopting a system of his su periors, that he has not only given places to Consti tutional officers, by delivering unlimited furlows to the Royalists who occupied the same places, but has not even executed the orders by which he was en- joined to attach to regiments Royalist officers, in order to place them in a situation to pass their exa minations. But why fatigue ourselves by vain ex amples ? Inhabitants of Vich, you have just seen depart from, your town the Governor Dias Perez, who, after sacrificing the inhabitants by the most scandalous exactions, restraints, and penalties, has, notwithstanding the inferiority of our force, fled, for the sole object of saving the fruits of his arbitrary acts. I have not drawn my sword from ambition. You know lam a landowner. The misfortunes of our country, not constitutional fury of which I have been the victim, make me thus call upon you. Catalonians !—These are motives, which have made us take up arms in defene6 of our well-beloved monarch. The King wishes justice-and obedience co his commands, but alas ! all the paternal care of our adored Monarch has hitherto only served to make the authorities spend their fury on the Royalists; and if it be true that there was a neces sity for modifying the police formed by the consti tutional vermin, and men formerly devoted to the brother of Napoleon, there remain still other evils, to which a remedy must be applied. 'Hasten, then, to exterminate impiety, injustice, and all the men in place who belong to the dark sects of masons, corn muneiros, and other religionists, who govern under the mask of moderation. Follow me, and the Great God of armies will recompense your efforts. Follow me, without the fear of being deceived.— Follow, and you will be armed,-fed, and rewarded : follow in order. The provinces of Spain, suffering under the same evils that we suffer, are acting in the same way. The sound part of the army is animated by the _same sentiments. Two hundred thousand Royalists, who have been despised and persecuted by the infamous men who manage the Government, are our companions, in arms, to conquer or to die with glory, pronouncing these words :--c Live re ligion ! Live Ferdinand VII ! Death to the Secta ries ! Down with the wicked placemen !" (Signed) JOSEPH CLARA, Commandant. PRIVATE NEWS raom MANRESA. The most illustrious Commandant-General of the vanguard of the Royalist army serving in this pro vince, Don Augustin Saperes, entered Igualada on the 4th current at eight in the morning. He was received by the assembled inhabitants with loud acclamations, and cries, a thousand times repeated,. of " Live Religion ! Live the august Monarch, Don Ferdinand VII., whom God preserve Live Saperes, who has aroused us by bis arrival I" The battalion of the Royalist volunteers immediately placed itself under the orders of General Saperes, as! did all the battalions and flying companies in thei neighbouringvillages. Th e wor k s f or f or tifyi ng th e t town of Igualada are continued with activity, and; that town is determined to defend itself against all. the efforts of the enemy if he dare to attack it. Don Paul Miro, a r i c h merc h ant an d propr i etor o f : Reus, has raised a division of 300 men in the neigh bourhood of Montblane, and great numbers flock to• enrol themselves under his glorious standard. At Puenta de la Armentera,another Commandant, born at Valls, is at the head of .500 intrepid! Royalists. The very probable report is circulated, that his; most Christian Majesty has caused to be published„! in Roussillon, an order which enjoins the leaving a! free passage to all the Spanish Royalist volunteers; in the case of their wishing to take ref u ge in France and th e g ranting them the same assistance whicl was afforded them in 1822 and 1823. It is said that tit Mataro our troops fell in with . the French troops, and that the latter departed withi out occasioning the least in conven i e n ce t o o urs. • I Our troops have entered Cervera victoriously. The people received them with demonstrations flf friendship and joy. All the Royalists have enrolled themselves under our standards, and the town is fortified to resist, if necessary, the enemy's trcioos. On entering the town, order was not disturbed by any scene which could compromise public tran quillity. On the sth current, the Most Illustrious Provi sional Junta of the district was installed, in pursu ance of a decree of the Most Illustrious Governing Junta of the Province, dated the 2d of the same month. 'The members composing the junta are the Most Illustrious Canon Dr. Don Ramon Soler, Eli baldo Guixer, priest and rector of St.' Cucufate del Raco ; Don Jose Masnon, Captain of Grenadiers of the Ist Battalion of Royalist Volunteers; Don Ignacio Escorcel, merchant; Don Ramon Villa rubia, proprietor, at Moya; and Don Buscalla de la Pera, of the district of Olvart. . The junta of the principality established in this town has thought fit to create a military junta, com posed, of the following persons :—President, Don Francisco Pare; Members, Don Antonio Castis, Commandant of Arms, of this town ; Don Alberto Gall ; Don Juan Marti ; Don Mauricio Puigdellivol: Secretary, Don Domingo de Metz. This junta is authorized to condemn either civil or military per sons, according to their offences. (From the Gazette de France, elated Thursday, Sept. 27.) SMYRNA, SEPT. 2.—Admiral Codrington'has suc ceeded in restoring-concord at. Napoli di Romania. Since the Greeks were assured that the great Christian Powers interest themselves in their favour, they have been much more docile to the advice which they receive from the European Governments. VIENNA*, SEPT. 17.—The Austrian Observer con tains to-day only extracts from the Oriental Specta tor of the beginning of August. The number of the 18th says that the brig Palinurus and the Hellas frigate, commanded by Lord Cochrane, were on the 6th off Cape Matapan. The Hellas - bad in tow a Turkish corvette of 28 guns. The Captain of the French brig learnt that Lord Cochrane had, captured this corvette, as well as a Turkiih schooner, on the Ist of August, just as the two vessels were sailing together out of the port of Nayarit'. The combat lasted but a moment, and the Turks had already 35 killed. They were going to convey to Patras 400 Egyptian troops and some ammunition. Prince Metternich is expected here in a few days. He was to leave Koenigswarth yesterday. It will net be till the middle of October that his Highness will conclude his marriage with his affianced bride, the young and beautiful Mademoiselle de Leykam, who is descended from an ancient noble family of Hesse Darmstadt. Their Majesties the Emperor and Empress have caused their return to be announced for the 25th. The Infant Don Miguel is gone to pay them,a visit at Lubereck. His Royal Highness is expected in . this capital this evening or to-morrow. Metalliquerr, 91 7 3-; Bank Shares, 1,085. MADRID, SEPT. 13.;—The Bishop of Vich has just written a letter to the King, explaining the rea sons that induced him to preside in one of the Juntas of Catalonia, thinking, he says, to be able, by so doing, to save that province from greater misfor tunes. The Captain-General €ampo Sangrado, justly suspecting General Romagnosa, an old •partisan during the war of independence, and lately Governor of Mataro, of having an understanding with the rebels, had him watched, and,even intended to arrest him : but Romagnosa hearing of it, left Mataro without leave, and having reached Madrid, pro ceeded directly to the Royal residence, when the King gave him a long audience, and a safe conduct to return to Catalonia, where he promised to use all his influence with the rebels, his countrymen, to induce them to return to their homes. M. Romag nose has returned to Madrid, where he has had an audience of the Minister of War, and is immediately to return to Catalonia. Leon, formerly Chief of Guerillas, has just been arrested at Saragossa, with two monks, a canon, and 15 other persons of different classes, who, with the Guerilla Chief, Adam Truxillo, have been sent with a good escort to Carthagena, as well as several of the conspirators who_ were in the prison. If this measure had been delayed two or three days, a re volt would have broken out at Saragossa. r Never ' theless, a pretty considerable band is now prowling in the environs of Teruel. The Marquis de Ronan succeeds the Count de Espagne in the duty about the King's person. The latter is going immediately to Lerida. Besides the detachments of Guards which lately left this city for Catalonia, it is affirmed that a rqiment of the Guards will follow the Count d'Espagme, whose head-quarters will be first ,at Lerida. .It is said a brigade of the Guards, of which the Cuirassiers will form part, will be sent to Catalonia. It seems that Tarragona was saved by the refusal of the can nonneers to enter into a plot to give it up to Carajol. PUYCERDA, Sem 19.—The number of rebels increase daily, and it is very difficult to foresee the termination of our distresses. The excesses com mitted on the inhabitants tend-to increase the party of the discontented, as people become plunderers for fear of being themselves plundered: Such is the' character of this 'revolution, that it draws to it the Royalist volunteers and the Constitutionalists, and a great many persons who have no decided opinion. Three days ago the rebels demanded 1,100 rations. Nobody has appeared. It is not the same with Reus, one of the richest and most flourishing towns of Catalonia. We are told positively that it has fallen into the power of the Agraviados, who had imposed a contribution of 100,000 piastres, and allowed their troops four hours' pillage. The citadel of Cardona is still held by the King's troops, but the town is in the hands of the rebels, who scour all the adjacent country. They are also advancing towards the Conqua de Tremp ; and a supply of provisions has already been demanded of the authorities of the town of Tremp. We have no certain account of the occupation of that place. FRENCH FUNDS.—Five per Cents., 101 f. 90c. ; Three per Cents., 72f. 70e.; Bank Stock, 2,005 f.

The English Courier, entertaining its readers with a recital of the troubles that are desolating Catalonia and Arragon, insinuates, .amidet much suppression, an odious accusation against . the French Govern ment. According to its views, those troubles are favourable to the secret designs. of our Government, to, which they would furnish a . convenient pretext for delaying the evacuation . of Spain ; and . the Times, which does not at all times . sympathise with the Courier, has, upon this occasion, been content to act as its auxiliary. We trust that the well-known loyalty of the French Government—that its horror of crime—that the mere name of the Bourbon and of France—will be a sufficient answcr.to the r ea d ers of the Times and the Courier; we might add others as conclusive. The period is not long passed when the statesmen of England congratulated themselves upon that occupation, as a burden which France could neither lay down without shame nor support without damage; and it is for the purpose of pro longing such a state of affairs that the F r e n ch Cabinet adopted such extraordinary measures I-- Not that, in inclosing our 'adversaries in this dilemma, we intend to shut up ourselves along with! them, and to grant th a t e ither Mr. Canning Justly Appreciated the state of things, or that the English: Journals have groun d s f or accus i n g. F or the rela tion between these two assertions is by no Ineens such, that the falsehood of the one implies the truth] 'of the other: It is qu i t e i m p oss ibl e that Mr. Can ning might misunderstand our situation, and that the' English Journalsthould calumniate our policy. The' Minister may have been an indifferent prophet, and the: English press at the same time an accuser, unrrorthy of credit. Since; however, we are.discussing analo. gies, - what would:the Couriei and the; Thies reply; 'should we•undettake to hurl back on their Govern. ment the attack directed against ours Would there be any lack of probability in such hypothesis? Would England derive no advantage from forcing the Spa nish Monarch to withdraw his Army of Observation from the frontiers of Portugal? Th 9 contingent which the .Tines furnishes for this common attack is of no higher character. According to that journal, the neutrality which we now profess accords but in differently with the zeal which we displayed three years ago, when the remains of the revolutionary le gends threatened Spain with a new revolution. By a little more deliberation, the Times might have dis covered the essential difference of these two. sitssi- Itions. The attack of the refugees had all the cha iracter of an invasion. The King of Spain had no army to repulse it. He himself solicited our interposi tion. The movement of the rebels in Catalonia has all the character of an insurrection. It was a part of our engagement to support our ally against the army which we had assisted him in vanquishing. Our concurrence in 1824, was the natural consequences of our concurrence in 1823. We must have dis avowed the one, had we ,refused the other. It is impossible, however - , without any abuse of lan guages, to compare a foreign with a civil war, a pro ject of invasion with domestic - discord. It is as clear that one of these two cases falls within a con sideration of policy, as it is clear that the other be longs to internal administration. Besides, the Spanish Government had more need of our succour then than now, when it calls not for our assistance. The organization of its army announces that its power has been regenerated, and the stippression of this revolt will still further prove that fact. We may predict it wits more confidence than ever, for the presence of the King of Spain will instantly dis sipate those bands which she arms of his soldiers could-not even have touched. This intelligence has reached us, while we were writing this article, which receives from it a new sanction ; it redoubles our confidence in the approaching issue of these events, land dissipates the exaggerated alarms for whisb they had furnished a pretext. Let us not close our eyes to' evidence—let us nor testimonyrefusew E t l o tts listenof England--that t. history. t w h e e analogiesmltuisst attribute not of nature, and the to o France—it the is events which C a t a l on i a i s un h a ppily the theatre.

Spain, after her revolution, must have found herself i n the same condition as Italy, Ger many, England, an d many others, after those great commotions which have, at various periods, agitated them. For a long time after these commotions, there reigns in men's minds a secret restlessness, which knells them from dream to dream , and from excess to excess; for there yet exists no instance in which the issue of a revolution has satisfied every one. Not unfrequentry we see a party taking up arms without even knowing why it took them up. Hostilities commence, and the word of command comes afterwards, Have not ourselves submitted to this inevitable* law ? There is nothing but weari ness—the interposition of good men, the firmness of Government, and its moderation, that can at length quiet men's minds. Sooner or later things will re sume their proper place—sooner or later the people are undeceived, with respect to a commotion, with , out fruit or purpose.

We understand that Captain PA RRY has just returned from his Northern Expedition, without having been able to accomplish the object of his voyage. He was sixty days in the boats with out having been able to get on at all, from the accumulating obstacles which daily presented themselves to his enterprising spirit and un wearied Allergy. To have persisted in combatting; against such impediments would be risking the safety of all, and thus defeating the chance of succeeding at a more favourable ,opportunity, if ever such present itself. 1 ' The French Papers of Wednesday, with the Gazette de France dated Thursday, have been received. Their contents relate principally to the affairs of Spain and the proceedings of the Rebels in Catalonia. If any proof were wanting of the inefficiency of FERDINANto'S Govern ment, it is to be found in the hitherto unimpeded march of the rebels, who have now established a Regency, and published Proclamations breathing all the fury of Apostolical intolerance, and pro fessing the most slavish subserviency to t h e will of the Absolute KING.

No mention is made in the French papers of FERDINAND'S movements,or whether he really intends to trust his precious person to the ultra loyalty of the Rebels. The conduct of FER DINAND has been altogether so crooked and equivocal that nothing can be inferred from his intentions—we must look wholly to his actions. He has left Madrid ostensibly to convince the Rebels that he is at perfect liberty, but he may change his mind before he reaches the scene of action, and betray a deeper purpose than his faithful Ministers yet dream of. The continued inaction of the French army in this state of insurrection is not a little curious. The French are now in possession of the strong holds of Spain, avowedly for the security of the KING and the preservation- of his Government. How then does it happen that they remain in inactive when they behold his MAJESTY in danger, and the tranquillity of the king dom disturbed by the increasing power of the Rebels ? Do they wait till matters ap proach the last extremity, .in order to gain more glory by the display of their might, and thus demand the KING'S, gratitude in propor tion to the extent of the benefit conferred ? A few days will solve the mystery. • The Monitcur is not a little angry at the ill sinnation lately hinted in the English Papers, that the insurrection in Catalonia was the work of the French Government. The Editor trusts, that the well-known loyalty of vile the French Government—that its horror of crime—that the mere name of the Bourbon and of F rance w ill b e a su ffi c i en t answer t o these insinuationswhiwhich w oul d; notbutbe pleasing some strange fa c t s t o counterbalance these p ompous guarantees at all to the virtuous Government of the most Christian KING. - We might instance the inva • of invasion Spain las a happy illustration of the good faith and frankness of the French Government, and the protracted, stay of their army in Spain as a plain proof of their unambitious views and straight forward policy. We have no further news from Greece. An article from Smyrna, dated the 2d of September, says that Vice-Admiral CODRINGTON had suc ceeded in restoring concord at Napoli di Ro mania. Extracts will be found in another column. We received this morning Frankfort Papers to the 23d inst. According to an article from . Frankfort, the general opinion there viewed the affairs -of the East in a light wholly favourable to Peace. The Porte, though re pugnant to the intervention of the Allied Powers, would yet, it was believed, make a virtue of necessity, and yield, because it must, in fact, be itself . naturally desir ous for the restoration of tranquillity. The same authority says that there is no foundation whatever for the report of a new Austrian Loan, and hints that' the report, like many others, , may have been got up from interested motives. According to an article front Constantinople, dated August 31, perfect tranquillity. prevailed there, and well-informed persons were also of opinion that there would lie no for Mal rupture. It says, however, that 3,000 or 4,000 men, in fantry and artillery, had left the capital for the Dardanelles, where great preparations. were making fob• defence : FRANKFORT, SEPT. 17. The private letters from Vienna continue to represent the efl;sirs of the east in a light wholly favourahle to the continuance of peace; they cannot, indeed, deny the con vention of the 6th July was delivered to the Porte, ac companied by very'energetic notes, but they do not consi der this fact as authorising the apprehensions that hosti lities must necea.sarily ensue. For they say the interfe rence of the PoWers will have become destitute of an ob ject by the result bf the great Egyptian expedition, which would probably have landed on the Aimee before the Allies had decided on the means to he taken ; or should this at tempt prove abortive, the Porte, notwithstanding all the repugnance it has hitherto shown, will, in the end, yield to the intervention, as it must in fact be itself desirous to see tranquillity restored by some means or other. On the other hand, the same letters ap pear to ascribe the late rise in the Austrian funds to the solution of the Portuguese question, respecting which more serious apprehensions were entertained than respecting that of Greece and Turkey. Persons, who are well informed, positively declare that there is no foundation whatever for the report of a new Austrian loan; and it is not impro bable that the report may have been spread from inte rested motives. LEIPSIC, SEPT. 10. A Royal Order has been made known to all the inha bitants of this city, forbidding any person to lend money to students on books, beds, or merchandise : whoever trans gresses this order must give up the articles so pawned with out any indemnity. The Ex-King of Sweden continues to reside here, and his present mode of life is very different from that he for merly led. Of a journey to Turkey which he was said to intend, there has been a report, indeed only a report. The building of a prison near the Exchange, which ex cites so much sensation among our citisens, on account of the great exptnue, seems now to be intended to be hastened as much as possible, so that the work is carried on even on Sundays (luring divine service, which is again a matter of no small surprise. A novel has lately been prohibited here, in which several of the inhabitants are introduced by name, or so plainly in dicated they could not be mistaken. The book was priuteil here. CONSTANTINOrLY, AUG. 31. From 3,000 to 4,000 men, infantry and artillery, left this capital last week, for the Dardanelles, where great preparations for defence are making. Perfect tranquillity, however, prevails here, anatvell-inforrinal persons are gene rally of opinion there will be no formal rupture. ANCONA, SEPT. 12. A Greek schooner, which had several times toushed at our port, and had always been received with the greatest hospitality, has seized, near Ithaca, a pontifical trabacolo, commanded by John Sanson, whom it robbed of 400 erc,wns and his rigging. It is thus it has returned the hospitality it received in the States of the Pope. We recommend to the attention of the mer cantile part of our readers, a recent publication by Mr. Crowgey, Accountant to the Brazilian Legation in this City, as we consider the Table of Algarisms contained in 4. the Universal Calculator," the work to which we refer, is admirably adapted, from its simple, and at the same time comprehensive construction, to facilitate all the various kicds of calculations to which mercantile t r ansactions are subject. We feel a pleasure in recording the favourable opinion we entertain, from the specime n be fors us, of the assiduity, ingenuity, and ab ilit y of the au thor, and hope his efforts to familiarise th e science of figures will meet that patronage and en c o ur ag ement to which we think them justly entitled.

The non-arrival of any foreign mail, together with the unfavourable state of the weather, has tended to make to-day one of the least interestin g days in the City which has been experienced for some time. — Consols opened at 861 for money and 864' I for account, and for the first hour not a single trans action took place ; they have since been done at for account, and the nearest price is now Shy.

Every thing in the Foreign Market has a heavy appearance, particularly Mexican, which declined this morning from ....491 to 481, and are now 47k; there has been a constant succession of reports mkt- . tive to these Bonds, witlr the. evident intent of creat ing an idea that the dividend would be declared for Monday next; all these attempts seem now to have died away, and the Stock looks extremely heavy. Colombian Bonds- have also declined, having gone . down to 271 S.

BILLIARDS.--A curious little work, called the Theory and Rules of the Game of Billiards, by A. Teys' sieire, has lately been published at Paris. It is divided ion two parts. In the first, the theory of the game is explains l —the means of avoiding being cheated in the choice ° maces and queues are pointed out—the laws of the collisio n of bodies are detailed—the strokes which result from tilos° laws are described—and general principles are laid dm v° with respect to the manner of playing and of conducting the same. The second part contains the rules of the vary' ous games of billiards. At the end of the work is a etteAk bulary of the terms need in the game. —.Literary Gazette' CORK BOOTS.—" A great inventor (in Ili own estimation) published to the world that he had solve" • the important problem of walking safely upon the etvate r ' and he invited the crowd to witness his first essay.

TURKISH CHARACTER. —The primitive CIIV racter of the Turks is a simple one; it is that:of the 14 0 toral or warlike nations; they are by turns active and iv dolent, cruel and merciful ; easily excited to combat, but with difficulty induced to labour; equally pleased amid al toils of war and the luxury of repose. In their genera mode of living they are temperate, and even abstemiou s ' implicit followed of the commands of their Prophet, joi u haughty despisers of all other institutions. By nature thei are frank, candid, and sincere ; hut too barbarous to considef properly the obligation of a treaty, or the sanctity of a pri; nese, more especially with regard to nations of a differs 'faith.—Venality seems to have been long a blot upon thei r character. Integrity is the virtue of extreme simplicity O f extreme refinement : the Turks soon passed the one point! and never reached the other. Yet, although the possessio ° of a rich empire haetended greatly to =rapt their manner the noble nature of the savage is still perceptible ; the geu e. rosity of the Turk is spontaneous: and even his injnstiet though violent, has something which savours of hardibeir and grandenr.—London Weekly Review. . t ee THE SMITHS AND THE JOHNsONg•—v' i. hare heretofore noticed the extreme confusion into wide' society is thrown from the application of one name to see?" ral individuals.
