"From Marseilles, under date of the 10th Aug. we learn—` There is nothing new relative to the blockade of Algiers, which appears not to be strictly observed, since the corsairs sail in and out at pleasure, contenting themselves, however, with keeping on the out-look and snaking no long cruises. —With regard to those of Oran and other towns of Barbary, some are to be seen in the Straits and in the ocean. Convoys for merchantmen are furnished reglarly on the 10th and 25th of each month for the Straits and beyond them ; and on the 30th for the Levant and the Archipelago. The following deposition has been made at the Intendancy of Health :—Captain William Lee, an American, dis charged a cargo of provisions for the Greek Govern ment at Poros, whence he sailed on the 18th July. —He declared, that on the 18th a Greek squadron from Alexandria, under the command of Lord Cochrane, had been laid up there, and that Lord Cochrane had put to sea with his frigate only.— This news appears extraordinary; but Captain Lee being under quarantine could not be interrogated as to the details. (From the Gazette de France, dated Sunday, Aug. 19.) " FRANKFORT, AUG. 13.—The Journal de Frankfort, after repeating an article on Portugal, which has appeared in the Gazette de France and the Moniteur, adds—' There is another document, which the Gazette de France does not quote, though it is much anterior to the others, and posi tively decides the question—we mean the treaty concluded on the 29th of August, between Don John .VI. and Dori Pedro. This treaty stipulates that the Crowns of Portugal and Brazil form two separate States, independent of each other. At the death of Don John VI., therefore, Don Pedro had only the option between the two Crowns, and the moment he decided for Brazil he had nat the least right whatever to Portugal : his abdication became useless; he could neither dispose of the Crown in favour of his daughter, nor give a constitution to Portugal, nor nominate a Regency, since his option of Brazil was an express denunciation of Portugal, which devolved in full right on his brother Don Miguel. By performing all these acts of sovereignty, Don Pedro held at once the Crowns of Portu gal and Brazil, which is evidently contrary to the stipulations of this treaty. Why did not the Conti nental Cabinets insist on the stipulations when Sir Charles Stuart arrived at Lisbon; armed with this Constitution (which is a germ of discord for Portu gal) and thus baffle the policy of Mr. Canning? " The Diet held its last sitting previous to the vacation, on the 10th of this month. " The Viscount de St. Priest, who ie appointed Minister from France to the Court of Madrid, has arrived here from Berlin. Lord Stanhope is also here. " DRESDEN, AUG. 6.—His Majesty the King of Prussia, to avoid the solemnities which would have taken place at Toplitz on his birth-day, left that place on the 2d. His Majesty made a tour in the Saxon Switzerland before he came here. " The exhibition of works of art opened yesterday. The publication of the Royal rescript relative to the rights of the subjects with respect to their religion, has produced an excellent effect throughout the whole kingdom. " PARIS, AUG. IS.-" Colonel Bourbaki, who was taken prisoner by the Turk.;, and whose death has been announced, is on his return to France. " A letter from Berlin says—' It is reported that a Russian Councillor of State, who passed a day or two ago through this c ity, takes to London the rati fication of the treaty for the pacification of Greece. Travellers affirm that the bead-quarters of the first Russian army are removed from Mohilow to Kiew.'" 1 0. 76 . ,/ /1 2 - r.....47"..--,-14a0.1.1,-- 4i(...'-' A.... , ~ 11 , ': t " (t a '' .-7'‘ 1-- , ~ .0 ',...... 0.• c., Z.,"'''1176„ ) , .

The facts contained in the following statement are derived chiefly from the infcrrmation of a very intimate friend of General Saldanha's. On th greatest part of them I can place the most implicit reliance, and with respect to the rest, if their ac curacy cannot be so safely guaranteed, their proba bility will be generally admitted. The whole af fords a curious picture of the manner in which af fairs of state and changes of administration may be conducted under the government of an inexperi enced Princess, and an unprincipled set of favourites, where, though a Constitution exists, public opinion has no organs, and the people no effectual coatrol. It will be remembered, that General Saldanha, whose own influence had been for some time tot. tering, had, about the beginnings of June, by his spirited conduct and manly exposure of the state of the Government in the presence of the Princess Regent, and of his colleagues, not only recovered the ground which he had lost in the , favour of the former, but had actually gained the ascendancy, and turned out the latter. The new. cabinet which was formed, and which included himself, was not of his dictation only, because he declined further inter ference; but he was himself considered as secure in his place and influence. Doing, very properly, as little as possible in the Foreign-office, (of which he held the seals only provisionally,, and with the busi ness of which he was but slenderly acquainted), he devoted all his care to the army, which he could now manage and superintend with more effect than when acting under the control o f his late colleagues. About the 20th of June a person called upon him, and, requesting a private interview, informed him that he knew, from unquestionable authority, of a plot to seduce the 7th Regiment—that 50 of the soldiers and two subalterns' had been already gained over, and had agreed to set out on the 25th or 26th for Spain—that boats were engaged to carry them across the Tagus,and that they would eeebaxk at a particular hour rom the quay below the Castle. This person likewise gave the General the names of the two agents who had treated with the sol diers, and purchased their desertion. Saldanha immediately wrote to the Intendant of Police on the subject; told him that he had heard such things were going forward; gave him the names of the two apostolical agents ; and begged hire to charge his secret police with the detection of the plot, and the discovery of evidence to convict the conspirators. The Intendant, Bas tos, returned him a very civil note, assuring him that the whole story was a fabrication, begat upon the suspicion or bad faith of some ultra-liberal; that his secret police was on the alert, and had disco vered nothing of the kind; that no agitators were seen to frequent the quarters of the , soldiers; and that the General might rest assured the spirit of all the troops in the garrison was the best possible. On the receipt of this letter the General sent for his informant, mentioned to him the assurances of the head of the police, and explained to him the danger of spreading calumnious reports respecting the faithful defenders of the Charter. The man, notwithstanding this contradictory authority, per silted in the accuracy ,of his original statement, and assured Saldanha of the time fixed for the de sertion of the party. The Minister thinking it im prudent altogether to neglect information so reso lutely supported, merely upon a general assurance to the contrary, then proposed to place at the dis posal of his informant a sufficient force to arrest the fugitives should they desert their quarters, and com mence their flight, describing to him at the same time the penalties to which he exposed himself, should his statement turn out to be false, should the confidence of Government be abused, and the character of the army be wantonly aspersed. The informer accepted the proposal, or rather under dertook the enterprise, with all its emblazoned risks; and Saldanba immediately wrote an order to two officers commanding two companies of in fantry (about one hundred men), and to an officer commanding a squadron of horse (about thirty), to be in readiness to act on the information of the bearer of the message on the night which he had mentioned as that fixed upon for the desertion. They were, of course, required not to divulge the contents of this order. On the night in question (which, if I remember right, was Tuesday, the 26th of June) about 30 of the soldiers who had been seduced, left their quarters, and were arrested in the very boats which they bad engaged to trans port them across the Tagus. This was th• party whose trial and punishment I so fully described to you in a former letter. The conduct of the Intend ant of Police had been very suspicious for several months before. He had never given any infertile don to the Government respecting the proceedings of the enemies of order, and had employed his secret police rather to stifle the evidence against them than to detect and counteract their manoeuvres. This striking instance of negligence or perfidy fully confirmed former suspicions, and induced Saldanha to think of displacing him for some more active or faithful Minister, whose vigilance and at tachment to the Charter might be relied on in the existing crisis. After the punishment of the deserters, he accordingly called together a Council of Minis ters, and laid before them a statement of the informa tion which he had received respecting the inten tion of the soldiers to desert, together with the names of their seducers, a copy of the In tendant's letter, denying that any such machina tions were going forward, and an official pro ces verbal of the evidence taken at the trial, con firmatory of the former, and falsifying the latter. After enlarging a little on the former conduct of the Intendant, he asked if the immense power and dan gerous influence of . the police during. such times could safely be continued in such hands ? Here was evidence that lie was either negligent of his duty, and "did not know what he ought to have been ac quainted with, or that he had betrayed his trust, and was willingly exposing the Government to jeopardy. In either case was he a man fit for being continued in office, and intrusted with the , custody of the public peace, as well as the large. sums spent i n se cret services? The Council unanimously Concurred with Saldanha in the opinion that the Princess should be addressed for his removal, and that a more efficient substitute should be appointed. After the qualifications of several candidates had been dis cussed, the voice of the Council fell upon a disem bargador of the name of Antonio Thomaz de Silva Leitao, a staunch Constitutionalist. As the courts of justice were nearly in a. state of insurrection against the Charter, neglecting to prepare the waY for opening their proceedings to the public, and ac quitting every enemy of the new order of things brought before them, Saldanha at the same time pro posed that the place of Regidor da Justice, which has been for some time vacant, should be imines b a d formerly diately filled up by a man of vigour. and talent, whO would see that the judges did their duty, and en force salutary reforms. Such a man was , i n his the the Council made out decreesal y , asked we r etod i fa be opinion,_ Pedro Mello Breyner, who occupied the same , situation, at Oporto, and had lately been Minister , of Justice. The Council of Ministers likewise agreed this proposition. The who_then resided at Berafica, w ag immediately Regent, • immediately addressed on the subject, and informed of the resolution of the Cabinet with respect to the for tin, signature. This was about the 7th or Bth o f July, a few days before she set for C out aides --- , The decrees were accordingly drawn u p and sent her for the two 'appointments of Leitao d Mello Breyner, the fonner including, of cours e, an h wast° ua o nP r a n Te ii ordered appointments: necessarySbhen only missal of Bastos. On various pretexts she delayed tetbs- to sign them before she left Bemfica. On her de parture she erdered them to be • d came among her other papers to Caldas. From Calclas various docu ments were transmitted with her signature; but the two anxiously-looked for demos, which were to de.' side, the fate of Justice 'and Police, never arrived.— Tiiennistuoi the Interior Sant *a ni(Sald h rc an a one PUBLICATIONS.

LITERATURE. HISTORY OF THE REFORMATION IN ITALY. The Reformation, which in the 13th, 14th, and' 15th centuries, had diffused itself very generally throughout the Italian cities, seems, like Christianity, to have owed its origin to the labours of some obscure but gifted individuals, who springing up from the vallies of the Vaudois, and blending themselves with the Reformers of Albigeois, disseminated their doctrines trium phantly in the midst of persecution, despising alike the sneers of the dissolute, the bulls of the Vatican, and the spirit of universal bigotry. In vain in the more sequestered parts of France the inexorable Simon de Montfort waged his ex terminating crusades against them—in vain chivalry put forth all its matchless enthusiasm against them, quickening the valor of its war riors by the dexterous promise of their salvation— the. diminished sects of Reformers, though they perished daily by hundreds from the face of the earth, yet transmitted their spirit, unim paired, to their descendants, and crossinc , the Alps, towards Italy, spread their opi nions in every direction, which, like the seed that was sown in good ground, sprang up and blossomed to an almost infinite extent.— Persecution only served to produce multiplica tion : what was mere speculativeness at first, soon deepened into enthusiasm, and. obstinacy confirmed what a mere heated imagination had put forth. Had the Waldenses or the Albigen ses, or the numerous other religious sects (many of which are now unknown even by name) been met in the first instance with contempt, it is pro bable that they would gradually have become ex tinct; but the rashness of bigotry raised them into dangerous supremacy. Add to this, the noto rious laxity of the Catholic Church—its infamous unrestricted sale of indulgencies, whereby vice was confounded with virtue—the indefinite na ture of its creed—the proverbial dissoluteness of its professors, together with its monstrous uncom prising spirit of despotism—a spirit at variance with every thing that can tend to exalt or hu manize the mind (for such in strict truth wa s the Vatican during the middle ages) and the reader will be at no loss to understand why a sect professing and practising the simplest prin ciples of morality, discarding the abstruse ab surdities of the prevalent faith, and appealing to common sense and right feeling, should gra dually make its way even in the face of its most determined and influential opponents. It is of this sect, (split as it was into different schisms), that the preseilt volume professes to treat. It details their rise, progress, and final settlement in Italy with a minuteness that proves its author's acquaintance with his subject, enhanced by the charms of a simple straight forward style, and a most lucid method of ar rangement. If, judging from the nature of its title-page, the reader expects to find a dull pros ing volume, as unreadable as Mr. Dillon's prose or Captain Hardman 's poetry, he will find him self altoaether mistaken ; the book is replete with anecdote, and that pleasant species of do mestic higher h o r i s d t e o r r y, of far na r r m a t o i v r e e e b n e t e c a r t u a s i e n i ni it, d t e h ai a s n w t i h t h e M'Cree i s a sc h o l ar also an acute and dis passionate a m n o d re a fagmeniltilaermdaneta; is he M Mr. observer, and when we have said this, we have said that he p o s sesses , if not all, at least the majority of an historian's requisites. ISLE OF WIGHT YACHT CLUB. COWES, AUG. 18.—On Monday the important week, big with the fate of race cups and of bets, was ushered in by a smiling sun, and a delightful breeze from the W.N.W. The candidates for the King's birth cup rose with the lark, and were early at their appointed stations, and crowds of anxious specta tors assembled, both afloat and on shore, to see them start. At ten the signal was given, and in an in stant the yachts were under weigh, following their eastern course to the Nab-light, which was first rounded by the Earl of Belfast's Harriet; unfortu nately, in gibing the mainsail, she sprung her gaff, and the wind freshing, it gave way in turning to the westward, when she was close at the heels of Mi randa, whose qualities to-day raised her to the top of admiration, and conferred on her owner the honour of winning his Majesty's splendid cup, which is a model of the good old-fashioned English tankard, having the Royal arms in the front, surrounded with an•oak wreath, and in the. inside of the cover, the bust of the King. Of every race we have yet had, this excited the greatest interest, by the equal sail ing of Menai, Therese, and Arrow, who came to the goal of decision neck and neck, expectation varying every second in their favour. The following are the names of the yachts which started, with the time of their arrival : If. M. S. Miranda 4 33 ... White, with Blue Cross. Menai 137 13 ... Blue, pierced White. Therese 4 37 17 ... Half Yellow, and Blue Vert. Arrow 4. 37 20 ...lied, with White Cross. Scorpion 4 44 SO ... Half Red, and White Hor. Warriet ... Carried away her gaff, and could not proceed. Dolphin Distanced. _ The Commodore, who attended at the umpire's post, immediately proceeded to the Club-house, and presented Mr. Maxse with the well-earned trophy of victory ; and on Tuesday, a report was forwarded by the Noble Commodore, to his Majesty and the Lord High Admiral. After the match, the Mem bers of the Club assembled on board the Falcon, where nearly a hundred persons were entertained at dinner, in a style of elegant magnificence rarely, if ever, witnessed afloat. To all that the London markets afforded, was added those choice delicacies which the noble house and park of Apuldercombe could supply ; and large as the party was, the com plete accommodation in every point, and the hospi table hilarity of the Commodore, excited unbounded admiration. The general illumination, and display 6f fire works, which were intended to close the day in honour of the Sovereign, was unfortunately defeated by the continued rain, which set in about four, and continued incessantly all the evening. On Wednesday, the bad weather continuing, the Commodore was prevented taking the squadron to the Portsmouth Regatta, as intended. We are sorry to announce, that business compelled the Mar quis of Anglesey to leave us on Tuesday for the season, which prevented his joining in the sailing matches. The Marchioness and family will leave next week. On Wednesday morning the rain which had been falling heavily during the night ceased, and at nine o'clock four of the seven yachts entered for the match took their stations. The Pearl was prevented sailing by the absence of Lord Anglesey, the Menai was disabled by the damage received at Portsmouth on Tuesday, and Captain Brown declined starting the Dolphin. At 10 the four made sail to the eLst ward, with a fine breeze from the S.W., and in three hours they again passed Sir Richard Pulaton's yacht, (which was selected to take the umpire's post), having been round the Nab-light and proceeded on to the westward, round die vessel stationed off Yar mouth, and reached the goal of decision in the fol lowing order:— 11f. s. Therese, Earl of Belfast, Yellow and blue 3 24 22 Arrow, Joseph Weld, Esq. Red with white cross 3 26 39 Harriet, Earl of Belfast, Red, white, blue vert. 3 28 55 Miranda, James Maxio, Esq. White with blue cross 3 29 42 This was an admirably contested match, and his Lordship has the honour to be the first winner of the Ladies' Champion Cup, which is a beautiful font, resting on a square pedestal ornamented at the base by dolphins, and having as supporters to the font a triton on one side and a mermaid on the other, beautifully executed. On the square of the pedestal is inscribed the names of the ladies who presented this splendid trophy. The Princess Esterhazy, the Duchess of Portland, the Marchionesses of Donegal and Anglesey, the Countesses of Darnley, Clonmd, Belmour, Listowel, and Belfast, the Viscountess of Kirkwell, the Ladies Ellenborough, Augusta Paget, Louisa Larnbton, and Frances Leveson Gower; Mistresses Fleming, Nash, Corbet, and Weld, and Miss Ward. The Noble Commodore entertained a large party at dinner on board the Falcon, chiefly composed of naval captains, and among them all those commanding ships at Portsmouth. In the evening the rain again commenced, and did great injury to the fireworks, which, notwithstanding the untoward state of the weather, were exhibited at nine, and did great_ credit to the skill of Mr. Jones, the pyrotechnical artist. On Thursday the rain poured in torrents, and there was so little wind, that our yachts, which went to Portsmouth to start for the second Cup, were disappointed, the match being deferred till Saturday. Friday morning opened with fine weather and a moderate breeze from the south-east; and our in habitants and visitors were on the alert to witness the match for the Town Cup. The altered course keeping the yachts in sight the whole time, added to Lord Yarborough's having placed his Falcon for the Umpire's station, gave an increased interest to the scene. At'lo o'clock the appearance of the sky indicatinga decrease of wind, the Commodore de termined the yachts should only go twice round the course, and they started before the wind in beautiful s tyle, for the vessel anchored off Leape, the Harriet taking the lead, which she kept during the whole of the race, and arrived at the goal eleven minutes be before the Arrow, which was closely pressed, by the Therese. The whole arrived in the following order : Harriet, E ar l of Belfast. M i ran d a , J ames M a s s e, Esq. Arrow, J osep h W el d , Esq. Do l p hi n , Capt. B. Brown, Therese, Earl o f B e lf as t.

On Monday, pursuant to their sentence, Patrick M'Namara and Patrick Grady were exe cuted at the County Limerick jail, the former for the murder of Bridget Molony, and the latter for the murder of Thomas Egan. When the signal was given, the two culprits were led from their cells, each supported by a Roman Catholic Clergyman, Rev. Messrs. O'Mealy and Furlong, to whose pious exhortations they evidently paid the closest attention. Humility and resignation were visible in their countenances and demeanour, and they moved towards the platform with a slow but firm step, undisturbed by the many inquisitive looks which surrounded them. Patrick M'Na thara, the pensioner, wore his usual working dress ; he was a man about forty-seven years of age, and stood five feet six inches. Patrick Grady was a fine athletic young man, twenty-six years of age, and five feet nine inches in height. They both behaved with firmness to the last mo ment, when they embraced affectionately, and took leave of the attending clergyman, but with out making any profession of their guilt or inno cence. On a given signal, the trap door fell, and they were launched into eternity.—The shock was violent, and a feeling of terror ran over the crowd ; a movement was apparent in the assem blage, accompanied by audible ejaculations of mercy to the Divine Being. Their suffer ings were not protracted, nature quickly yielded to the conflict, and they died without . much struggle. The b o dies were left hanging 35 minutes, and were then cut down and con veyed between a military escort to the' county infirmary for dissection. The multitude then quietly dispersed. Patrick 1 1 1‘Namara has left a widow and five children, who went to see and take leave of him in gaol the day before his death. This unhappy man admitted his guilt, on returning from Court, on the evening of his sentence. Patrick Grady has also left a young widow and one child, who also took a last affec tionate farewell of him in prison. There is some thing very singular in the fate of these wretched men, especially the former,—Patrick NPNa mara's brother was hanged 19 years ago, for whiteboyism ; the year after he murdered, in revenge, the woman on whose evidence that brother was found guilty and executed ; he then fled the country, changed his name, and entered the army, fought in the Peninsula, 'and was wounded, was discharged a pensioner from the 66th Regiment, returned to Ireland, and lived for the last ten years in Tipperary, where he bore a good character. In April last he was recog nized by the son-in-law of the woman •he mur dered, tried, and convicted at the Assizes, prin. dtty for that murder, comm i tte d 18 years s i nce . cipally on his testimony, an d execute d on Mon -Dublin Evening Mail. CURIOUS CUSTOM.-At an interview of ce remony, a native of India places a rupee, or gold mohur, on the palm of his hand, and re spectfully presents it to his visitor. Persons ig norant of the custom either take the mcriey, or civilly decline it. They are however, ex pected to touch the money, and make a salaam. —London Weekly Review.
