FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Gazette de France dated Thursday, Oct. 25.) PVYCERDA, OCT. 16.—Vague and absurd reports have for some days caused much confusion in this town, by inducing many persons to remove. But people's minds are evidently more calm, and the greatest tranquillity prevails in the environs for ten leagues round. We have just learned the arrival of fresh regiments. The drivers of Cerdagne, and other travellers from Madrid, have met with many on the load; and the number of his Maje3ty's troops des tined for Catalonia is estimated at 30,000 men. A traveller coming from Figueiras has informed us that he met at intervals on the road, bands of Agraviados, of 30 or 40 men each, who were going to lay down their arms, and make their submission to the King. Don Domingo Caralp, a rich landowner of Mu taro, who was governor of Vich for the insurgents, arrived the day before yesterday at Cabanasse, near Mont Louis, accompanied by an ancient officer of cavalry and a priest. They had reached this French village by way of the mountains of Noury. They solic►ted permission to enter France, and proceed to Perpignan, where the family of M. Caralp has long resided.—Eclio du Midi. TRIESTE, OCT. 12.—While the Greeks are every where announcing the taking of Vassiladi and Anatolico by Lord Cochrane, accounts of the 3d of October affirm that this report is without founda tion, anti that Cochrane, after having forced with hie division the entrance of the Gulf of Lepanto, to communicate with General Church, who guards the Isthmus of Corinth, has again quitted the vicinity of Alissolonghi. It is presumed that the attack on the points near that place was a feint to enable him to pass during that t►me the Little Dardanelles at Lepanto.* FRANKFORT, OCT. 20.—We learn from Stettin that the Mentor, a vest el belonging to the Royal Society of Maritime Commerce, sailed from that port on the 21st of September, bound to Jamaica, with a cargo of Silesia linen, flour, &c. This is the first Prussian vessel that has sailed directly to that island with the view to lead the way to a corn- mercial intercourse. (From the Journal des Debats.) CONITANTINOPLE, SEPT. 15.—The Kiaja Bey, or Minister of the Interior, declared to the drago mans of the Ambassadors,on the 18th of September, that the Porte insisted on the entire submission of the rebels ; that it would display its udnal modera tion towards the allied Powers, so long a s they abstained from violence; but that it would r eturn blow for blow and shot for shot, if events should re quire it. This heroic determination was singularly shaken on the next day by the appearance of two Russian htigs of war, which had escaped the vigi lance of the fort of Fanaraky, in the port of Con stantinople. The Porte sent to M. de Ribeaupierre to inquire the object of their arrival. M. de Ri-. beaupierre replied that these two vessels were not large enough to inspire the Porte with any fear; that they did not even bear the flag of the Imperial marine ; that the Porte had not any right to send them away ; and that if a greater number of vessels cf war should appear before Constantinople, the Porte would have occasioned their appearance by the menaces which it lied directed against himself, his family, and th e other subjects of Russia. T!,e Porte appeared as tounded at this reply. The Grand Seignor gave orders to stir no more in the matter. English and French vessels are daily expected here to take on board the families of the Ambassadors. The Pacha of Egypt has dismieged Major Cradock, without yielding at all to his entreaties-. 26.—There has been nothing new since the 15th. The alarms of the Franks, on the de parture of the Foreign Ambassadors, are a little dimeished, though some vessels of war from Odessa are at anchor here to take away the family of M. Ribeaupierre in case of emergency. It is said that the Sultan has proposed to the Divan a plan,where by the re-establishment of peace in Greece is to be g rantcd 1.43 a boon to ;to inhahitnnts. TRIESTE, OCT. 12.—According to letters frArn Corfu, the Eyptian fleet has quitted Navarino and sailed to the south, without meeting any resistance from the combined squadrons. It is presumed that this was done in c o nsequence of a convention made between Codrington and Ibrahim Paella, which sti pulated the free return of the fleet. TM:re are many versions abroad on this point ; but it appears that the Egyptian fleet had positively quitted Navarino before the 28th of September. (From the Quotidienne.) PARIS, OCT. 23.—We have before us a letter written from Caraccas in the latter part of August, by a person worthy of credit. The following is an extract : " The affairs of this country are in a state to cause a fear of an approaching explosion. All the neighbourhood is tilled with armed bands, who shout " the King for ever." The fermentation is great, and, as the misery is immense, an insurrection may be expected. " I have just received a letter from La Guayra, where 1 am informed that two Spanish privateers, who bad lately presented themselves before the port, had captured a richly laden vessel. It is feared that these privateers are merely the precursors of more considerable naval force, which they expect to see every day. (From the Consiltutionnel.) BARCELONA, OCT. 15.—The day before yesterday a rencontre took place in the mountains, near Olot ; s everal of the insurge nts lost their lives in it; twelve or thirteen have been made prisoners, and conducted too Girona. On Saturday, el Carajal directed himself upon Calaf. lie caused to be conducted before him eight of the richest inhabitants, and gave them four hours to prepare for death, if in that time they did not pay a heavy contribution of some thousands of dollars. An extraordinary courier has arrived this morning from Tarragona, addressed to the Viscount de Rei set, Lieutenant-General commanding the division. — The intelligence lie brings is not yet known. PERPIGNAN, OCT. 17.—Seven individuals who were taken at the affair of St. Columba were yester day shot at Girona ;an eighth was flogged. The two trumpeters and the two officers, who were sent by Ballaster to summon Girona to surrender, and who were arrested by the Governor's order, have ;;lso been flogged. They are to be sent to the galleys. A column of 200 rebels, flying for refuge to our territory, entered it yesterday by the Coll d'Ares. It laid doon its arms at Prats de Mello, at two in It is likely that some division of the the afternoon. army of Count CrgspLgne, operating in the moun tains, has forced them to this movement. It would not be surprising if some other column has taken ve by the valley of Ribes, and the fuge Cerdagne , Coll de Toses ; it is these two passages which seem pointed out by the nature of the country to the troops which occupy Olot andd Rippall. R The eve rend Father Viaes, of the Sovereign Junta of Nanresa, who has taken refuge in Perpig nan, has applied to t he Bishop of this Diocese to obtain the /ice/ for saying rise; his Lordship answered him, that when the Reverend Father could prove to him that he had obtained the King's par don, he should be happy to grant him the permission he requested. WIADRID, OCT. 18.—(Extract of a private letter.) --:The courier who was despatched by the King, and arrived yesterday morning at six o'clock at the - Escurial, and at eleven o'clock here, brought like -wise t o th e Inf a nta Don Francisco the order to ac company her Majesty the Queen on her j ourne y to Saragossa, for which place she will d ep art on the z.thinstant. The Prince will return to Madrid, .whither all the other Members of the Royal Family will have returned. It is believed that his Majesty will not return to his capital before the end of March or the beginning of April, 1828. It appears that M. de Villavil le, the Co'onel of the Royalist Volunteers of Madrid, is going to be " The Austrian Observer gives news from theli = :an Islands, confi rmin g this article of the A ) 94,4rgh Oar eti. mssNote th e 4dir9r, exiled, as his ex-colleague, M. sua, Colonel of the Artillery of the same corps, has been.

They merely asked for his passport, and after inspecting and returning it to him, they suffered him to proceed. PRICES OF STOCKS THIS Rank Stock DAY AT ONE o'cf.Ocic.

ESCAPE OF TI - I;,i EGYPTIAN FLEET FROiv NA vA,INO. r;,!ounts have reached us, this morning, that the Egyptian ileet in Navarino, having been reinforced by the junriiolt of three Turkish, .frigates and soine corvettes, on the Ist instatic, 3 had made '. an attempt, on the 2d to get out of 'i4avainc.., .and pro ceed to Patras. In this object they were defeated by the remonstrances and threats of Via.- Alatiral Sir EDWARD CODRING7OI4, who fired, some shots at the ships under weigh, which had the effect of making them again come to an anchor. On the 4th, they made a second attempt, and some of the ships actually rcuched Patras, but the main body of the fleet, consisting of the smaller vessels and tran sports, amongst which were several Austrian vessels, were again frustrated in their object by the British squadron, who kept up a smart fire upon them till they sought the protection of the Port, and hoisted colours. A tremen dous storm on the 6th obliged the British squ dron to seek shelter under Zante, and dispersed the Egyptian fleet, part of which it was supposed were still at Patras, while the re mainder would get back into Navarino. Sir EDWARD CODRINGTON is said to have de clared that they should not enter any other port, and that he would destroy them if they did. Such is the substance of the private accounts which have reached us, and we understand that despatches containing intelligence of these events to the l lth instant were this morning received at the Admiralty from Sir EDWA RD CODRINGTON, and were forwarded immediately to the LORD HIGH ADMIRAL at Portsmouth, from whence his Royal Highness will return on Monday— his intention of proceeding to Plymouth being abandoned. An Express has arrived this morning from Paris, with the Gazette de Fiance dated yester day, which contains the following paragraphs :--- CONgTANTINOPLE, SEPT. 25. " The possession of Smyrna has been the object of a Convention, by which it has been agreed, that it shall be neutral for all nations." ZANTE, SEPT. 30. The armistice accepted by the Commission of the Greek Government, was put into execution on the 24th of this month, and the Commission published by proclamation. The Paris Papers of Wednesday, and the Gazette de France dated Thursday morning, reached us last night. The Journal des Debats contains intelligence from Constantinople to the 26th September, which completely establishes the falsehood of the statements made and per severed in by some Journals, of the Porte having submitted or shewn a disposition to sub mit on the 16th. It appears that the Reis Effendi having retired, on account, as it is said, of sore eyes, had been succeeded in his functions by the Kiaja Bey, or Minister of the Interior, who declared to the Dragomans of the Ambassadors, in an audience on the 18th of September, that the Porte insisted upon an un limited submission of the Rebels, and that it would slim its accustomed moderation towards the Allied Powers as long as they committed no violence, but that it would return blow for blow and shot for shot, if it were forced to it. What effect this threat had with the Ambas sadors of the Anita Powers dues nvt qPear7 Lssoc. but it is argued by the article we are quoting, from the following circumstance, that the heroic determination of the Porte was strangely shaken on the next day. Two Russian vessels of war appeared in the port of Constantinople, after having escaped the vigilance of the Castle of Fanaraky. They came from Odessa, wore a merchant flag, and did not exceed the dimensions prescribed to allow them to enter the Channel, neither did the crew wear military uniform, but it was nevertheless perceived that they were vessels of war. The Porte immediately sent for M. de RIBEAUPIERRE to enquire the cause of their arrival. M. de RIBEAUPIERRE replied that the vessels need cause no fears to the Porte, that they did not even carry the Imperial Flag, and that the Porte, there fore, had not the right to send them array that if a greater number of vessels of war appeared before Constantinople, it was the Porte alone which would have brought them , b y its haughtiness and threats against himself , his family, and Russian subjects. The Porte ap peared greatly astonished at this answer, and the Grand Seignior directed that the subject should be dropped. It is added that English and French vessels were also expected for the embarkation of the families of the Ambassadors. The object of the two vessels of war, which ap pear to have carried twenty-four guns each, was, without doubt, for the protection and convey ance of the Russian Ambassador and subjects at Constantinople, in case of necessity ; and an article of the 26th, from Constantinople, states that several vessels of war from Odessa were at anchor, ready to accompany the family of M. de RIB EA UPI ERRE. Notwithstanding this cir cumstaixe, however, it is said that the inquietude of the Franks, respecting the departure of the Foreign Ambassadors, was a little diminished, for it is added, " the SULTAN, who looks upon the intervention with great indignation, had pro•• posed to the Divan a plan whereby the establish ment of peace in Greece is to be granted as a boon to its inhabitants." An article from Trieste, under date of the 12th of October, states that according to letters from Corfu, the Egyptian fleet had quitted Na varino before the 28th September, in conse quence of a convention made between Sir EDw. CODRINGTON and IBRAHIM PACHA ; but we have strong reasons for doubting the latter part of this intelligence. The news from Spain still contains accounts of conflicts with the Rebels. A spirit of des peration seems to have influenced many parties of the Insurrectionists ; and we find that instances have occurred in which the prisoners on both sides have been shot. It is said that the King of SPAIN will not return to Madrid till March or April next. Extracts of these Papers are given in another column.

The Papers from New Orleans of the 25th of August, state the number of yellow fever cases had rather diminished than increased, and that they are not of a violent nature. By subsequent accounts we are happy to state the symptoms of this dreadful malady have entirely subsided. We received last night Boston and New York Papers up to the 29th Sept. and 2d inst., re spectively. They contain nothing important. The following are extracts : " By letters from Caraccas the Editor of the Baltimore Gazette has received from his correspondent, it appears that General Paez has sent away the Editor of the Golebri, who had become offensive to him by his writings. Pate assumes authority as supreme Chief of Venezuela, during the absence of Bolivar, who had gone to Bogota, and was de termined to preserve every thing in the order in which it was left by the Liberator. " By a gentleman just from Boddy's island, North Caro lina, we learn that the packet ship Louisa Matilda went entirely to pieces in about twenty hours after she struck; that during this time the sea broke constantly into her, destroying a large portion of the packages ; and as the goods washed out of her, they were drifted, in pieces, about 60 miles along the coast, in a very mutilated state." (From the Commercial Advertiser.) A letter has been received in Philadelphia from an officer of the United States' ship Hornet, part of which, relating to an occurrence not yet publicly known, lie wishes to have inserted in one of our papers, with a view to prevent any false or exaggerated accounts going before the public. A more full and ample official statement may shortly be expected, as the whole affair is to be transmitted to Wash ington. _ _ _ -4 ' To understand the case fully, it must be recollected, that a few months since the British ship James Mitchell, which had been wrecked on the Padre del Cruz, was got off by the Hornet and John Adams, and taken into Key West ; that the officers and crews of the two vessels claim cry one, u a g bsences the occur left the Hornet, w u i s t t l i k n l:li u d . s h h e i r p e m t a h n e ed salvage, an d that their libel, to the surprise of ev ery was dismissed wi th costs, &c. The officer alluded to, as agent for the claim ants, Hunt, and a few sailor s, to su p erintend the affair, and w e nt s c e o v u er r a t l s t a i t m : es it fr w o a m s (KlueryinNaVeosnte t o o f S t .ete these rence took place. It appears from his statement, that— " The Captain of the James Mitchell is a co n fi rme d drunkard, a most ignorant man, and very quarrelsome and abtrive when in liquor. Midshipman Hunt had a quarrel with hint during my absence the first time, in consequence of the abusive language used towards him by the Ca p t. ( J. Robinson). On my arrival he re ( Ke y West), he p„dily became intoxicated, and after abusing me, and m a king use cf such language as is not proper or decent to repeat, lie attacked the men, and after calling them Yankee pirates, &c., he presented a loaded pistol to the breast of a boat swain's mate of mine, and threatened to brow his brains out. My man, unfortunately, was as intoxicated as the Captain, and having a pistol in his pocket, loaded, but not primed, he managed to get away until he primed, when lie shot him in both legs, and the Captain now lies dangerously if not mortally wounded. This took place at half-past 10 at night. I was asleep at my lodgings, and the boatswain's mate was on shore contrary to my orders, which were explicit to all, never to remain on shore after sun-down. I was called immediately, had him put in double irons, and con veyed on board the Revenue cutter, where he awaits his trial for attempt to murder, as soon as I can see Captain Claxton, or Commodore Ridgley, neither of whom are here. I ant at present the commanding officer of the navy on the Island.' 44 The Officer further states, that the inhabitants have given 'elm letters confirming the aloove, &c. Key West was very healthy when he wrote (September 2 . . The John Adams was daily expected, to carry them all to Pen sacola, and the Hornet was at the latter place. C." Now Y° 3 l C i SRL continue very steady, and the transactions since our last report amount to 1,260 bales, consisting of 150 Alabama, at 11 a 111 cents, 90 New Orleans, at 11f a 1 and the re mainder Uplands, principally at 114 a 11 cents per lb. for export.

Freight to Liverpool, 4id. a id. sterling ; to the Con tinent, i a cents. We received this morning the Journal of St. Petersburgh, which contains no political news. The merchants of the capital have adopted a singular method to testify their joy at the birth of an IMPERIAL PRINCE ; but we think their benevolent example is well worthy of imitators : ST. PETERSBUIt6H, OCT. S. On the 29th, the Emperor addressed an Ukase to the Senate, signifying, in consideration of the distinguished services of Count Pozzo di Borgo, Ambassador at Paris, it way his Majesty's pleasure that if the Count should die without lawful issue, the title of Count of the Russian Empire shall be inherited by such members of the family of Pozzo di Borgo as he shall appoint his heir, and to his descendants. His Majesty's rescript to the Governor-General of this capital having been communicated on the 30th of Sept. to the merchants, by the Mayor of St. Petershurgh, that body, animated by lively gratitude for this mark of Imperial favor, and by a desire to manifest their joy at the birth of the Grand Duke` Constantine Nicolae witsch, has resolved on a further donation of 21,000 ru bles, to be distributed as follows, viz. :-Ist, 1,000 rubles to the relief of 68 families who suffered by a fire in the dis trict of Krolevitz ; 2d, 2,000 rubles to the Committee for providing for indigent miners at St. Petersburgh ; 3d, 2,000 rubles to the Imperial Philanthropic Society ; 4th, 1,000 rubles towards the erection of a monument to the memory of Lomenossoff; sth, 15,000 rubles to the Com mittee formed in Finland to relieve the sufferers by the fire at Also. The Russian and foreign merchants on the Exchange have subscribed 26,000 rubles for the latter purpose, and a general subscription is also opened. CRONSTADT, OCT. '7. Ships arrived 1,127 sailed l,OlO The Allgemeine Zeitung of the 20th instant has been received this morning, and it copies from the Oriental Spectator the following gloomy picture of Athens. It also confirms the sailing of the Egyptian fleet from Navaritto - - EGINA, ann. 28. The city of Athens is now but a mass of ruins ; the houses, the gardens, the beautiful country seats, which were the delight of the inhabitants, have vanished. Having been for some years repeatedly in the possession of, and lost again by, the Turks and the Greeks, it was their fate to be equally devastated by both parties. The Acropolis is still in the same situation iu which it was left by the Greeks. The Turkish troops, amounting to 4,000 men, are encamped in the gardens belonging to the French Consulate, a league from Athens. The inhabitants of Cacha and Menidi (who, like the Acarniots of old, are almost all charcoal-burners, and still retain the rough character which Aristophanes gives them) sup 41y them with provisions in abundance. Relschid Pacha is going to Janina as Governor of that Pro vince. He will meet with little or no resistance, as he has 10,000 good troops with him, and is himself well ac quainted with the mode of making war in that country. At the same time he takes the greatest care to secure his communications with Attica, from which he draws hie provisions. The same Journal gives the following particulars from Smyrna itself:—Hassan Pacha has sent for the Chiefs of the Greek community, and declared to them that he was informed of the alarming reports that were in circulation in the city; namely, that their tranquillity was in danger, for which reason several merchants had closed their magazines. He then represented to them how unfounded this statement was, and repeatedly assured them that he would answer for the preservation of tranquillity, and would not suffer the slightest offence to either a Frank or a Greek. All the inhabitants of this city might therefore follow their busi ness without any apprehensions, and fully depend on his protection. Perfect confidence is now restored. The Oriental Spectator also states, in an account front Alexandria, that the Viceroy, in rejecting the proposals of Major Craddock, formally declared that whatever might be the result of the negociations between the Ottoman Porte and the three Powers, the Europeans in,Egypt should not suffer any ill effects from it, but might ; remain there without any apprehensions, and depend on his continued protection of their interests. The manufactories established in the environs of Cairo are in such a distressed state, that the Viceroy has ordered several of them to be shut up, and all of them to be suc cessively given up, because they produce loss instead of gain. This is especially the case with the cloth manufac tories. Trade does not suffer so much by the present un certainty of political relations as by the Greek piracies, which always delay the sailing of the ships. A file of Charleston Papers, up to the 22d ultimo inclusive, has been received at the North and South American Coffee-house. There con tents are unimportant. The sickness continued at Pensacola, but the fever cases had not materially increased ; it had, however, carried off several persons of respectability. A Montreal Herald of the 22d September, and Quebec Papers to the same date, have also been received at the same establishment, the con tents of which are oflittle import. By a note written on the margin of the former, dated the 24th, we are much concerned to observe that on the morn- ing of the 23d, some Canadian worthies had hung in effigy the Governor-in-Chief; Lord DALHOUSIE. This circumstance took place in the Champ-de-Mars, and whilst his Lord ship was staying in the town. The Gene ral Orders of Militia inserted in these papers, shew that the Government are not igno rant of, and not disposed to pass over, the ridiculous conduct of some Officers of Mili tia, which might have been productive of se rious inconvenience, had not its impropriety been perceived by those whom its example was intended to influence. The only instance of disobedience to the revived Militia Ordinances has arisen from the Officers, and considerable be nefit will accrue to the country from a careful re vision and purification of the lists of names to which commissions are affixed. The Bishop of Quebec, Dr. STEWART, had returned to that city from Upper Canada, and we understand his Excellency the Governor-in- Chief intends to proceed on a visit to the Ottawa and Grenville canals in a few days. The Montrose, from London, had arrived with a company of the Royal artillery, under the coin mand of Major 19 ERCER. SALE OF FOREIGN WOOL.—Yesterday af ternoon there was a very full attendance of persons con nected with the Wool Trade, at Garraway's Coffee-house, Change-alley, where upwards of 700 bales of Spanish, Russian, and Austrian wool, were brought to the hammer. The first descriptions offered were low Spanish wools, which were purchased readily at from 94d. to 10d per lb., with the duty paid. The next lots were of a superior description of Spanish wool, and they sold at from Is. lid. to h. 3d. per lb., duty paid. The superior Spanish wools were next offered, and some lots fetched as high as I. 6d. per lb. The Russian and Austrian wool averaged the full market price. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.)

The Hilda,l3edlington, from Cadiz to London, was carried into Falmouth on Thursday by the Mary Parker, from Neath, which fell in with her, abandon ed and in a sinking state, on Tuesday, about ten leagues from Padstow. THU. FUNDS-(THIS DAY). CITY, TwELvl o' aocs., Nearly at the close of business in the English Stock market yesterday a considerable degree of bustle took place, and a variety of rumours were in circulation calculated to depress the price of Consols, in which the Bears succeeded pretty considerably, and it is reported one or two sales were made to a large extent ; this morning the market commenced for Consols at 88i 4 for account, but after being 884 they became extremely fidgety, from a report of the French Funds coming over 4 per cent. lower, and the price declined to 88, since which they have recovered to 88-1 4 for account, and 88 1 for money; the cause given by one party for this depression, beyond that of the reported fall in the French Funds, are the accounts received from Germany of the non settlement of the Turkish affair, upon which point the public mind seems to be extremely feverish; and another version is the high price to which the Funds have got, which has made it a dangerous speculation to go for much higher quotations, and the Bulls, for this reason, are desirous to realise, even if the profit is small ; the market is, however rather heavy.

Such is the economy practised by the Duke of Orleans, one of the richest princes of Europe, that he keeps no regular establishment for the supply of his table, but is furnished with his dinner by a traiteur, at so much per head. He is also hie own farmer, and looks minutely into every item of receipt and expenditure. The sum paid by Mr. Crockford for one year's services of his cook, M. Ude, would supply the table of this Prince with good fare for nearly the same period. THE CAFILA.—This word which often occurs in Eastern travels, signifies a small caravan. Like the larger, it is divided into distinct companies, having at their head an officer borne in a palankeen or litter, followed by a sumpter camel, loaded with riches. At each side of this camel, or the neck, a small bell is fastened, the sound of which may be heard at a great distance. To the sound of these bells, which is exceedingly cheering in the thirsty desert, the posts of the East constantly refer in their tales and songs.--LondoniVeekly Review. About half-past seven o'clock on Friday even ing, as the Sham Times coach was coming down the hill to the foot of Burnden-bridge, near Bolton, one of the fore-wheels came off, and the coach was upset. Fortu nately none of the passengers received any injury, although several large stones were lying in that part of the road where the accident occurred. , The practice of leaving stones on a public road dttring the night is extremely re prehensible, and we hope it may be discontinued.—Man chafer Herald. CHARMING OE SERPENTS.—Whatever be the means employed, it is certain that the serpents, upon which the natives of the East exercise a power resembling that of magic, are not, as some have pretended, deprived of the poisonous qualities of their species by nature or art.— A gentleman, having, at Surat,l seen these animals crawl and twine over the naked bodies of children belong ing to the charmers, ventured to approach the reptiles, and allowed them to creep upon his Own body. He paid dearly for his temerity, however, for he was bitten, and died in two hours.—London Weekly Review. SINGULAR ASSASSINATION IN KINCAR DINESHIRE.—The fate of one of the Sheriffs of this county, in former times, merits notice, especially as connected with a ruin in the parish of Eccliscraig, formerly a place of great strength, being erected on a perpendicular and peninsulated rock, sixty feet above the sea, at the mouth of a small ri vulet. It was built in consequence of a murder committed in the reign of James the First, and the circumstance de serves to be recorded, as it affords a specimen of the barba• rity of the times. Melville, Sheriff of Kincardineshire, had, by a vigorous exercise of his authority, rendered himself so very obnoxious to the Barons of the County, that they had made repeated complaints to the King. On the last of th e se occasions, the King, in a fit of impatience, happened to say to Barclay, of Mathers, " I wish that Sheriff were sodden and supped in brue." Barclay instantly withdrew and reported to his neighbours the King's word s , w hi c h they resolved literally to fu lfil. Accordingly, the conspira rators invited the unsuspecting Melville to a hunting party in the forest of Garvock ; where, having a fire kindled, and a cauldron, of water boiling on it, they rushed to the spot, stripped the Sheriff n aked, and thrqw him h ea dl ong into the boiling vessel; after which, on pretence of fulfilling the a spoonful of the broth.— naglßarclay, t o d , sc reen himself from be owder, must h a ve been impreg.

Some of the conspirators were afterwards pardoned- One of the pardons is said to be still in existence ; and the reason assigned for granting it is, that the conspirator was within the tenth degree of kin to Macduff, Thane of Fife. A trick several times attempted of late to be put into execution, by persons suspeeted of being " body snatchers," for the purpose of getting possession from the parish of the bodies of unknown persons meeting with a sudden death, was tried on in the parish of St. George the Martyr, in the course of the last few days. It will be re collected that on Thursday last, a young man died in Kent stre2t, through the alleged inhumanity of the woman he lodged with, who turned him into the street when on the point of death, and an inquest appointed for the following day, on the morning of which two persons called at the workhouse, one stating he was the brother-in-law of the deceased, whose Define was Oliver Clare, his own being Davis, and that the deceased's friends, though justly irri tated by the irregularity of his life, were nevertheless desirous of taking c harge of his funeral, and desired to have the body given up to them. This Mr. Hall, the master of the workhouse, told them could not be done, the inquest not having been held, and they departed, but re turned again on Monday night between eleven and twelve o'clock, with an undertaker and re p ea t e d th e ir demand for the body, b ut being again unsuccessful, the inquest being adjourned, they threatened to app l y t o th e M ag i s tr a tes n e xt mor ning but nothing more was heard of the matter until Wednesday, when another man, giving his address " Crad dock, undertaker, Waterloo -town, Bethnal-green," came and said he was appointed to meet the brother-in-law, bat after waiting some time, he also departed, and nothing has been heard of the party since. The body bas been in terred by the parish. EXPERIMENTAL SQUADRON. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. 0 Sia,—Having seen, with the utmost astonishment! joi the Hampshire Telegraph of Sunday last, a s tatemea t o the third cruize of the Experimental Squadro n, with .0 ductions from it evidently dictated by the most clOfei partiality, I have been induced to trouble you with a oe remarks, considering, that although the private acc °° ,l, that appear in the Public Journals are of no vital ;OP'? ance to the projectors, yet, as the Hampshire re loll is a sort of oracle to many, especially Naval Officers' lea have no better means of information, the genera l jade. it of the country may be determined by the stateniell' contains. It appears that of the corvettes the preference is to the Acorn, probably because in very strong breezes heavy seas she has had a trifling advantage ; bu t it S tot al t !. be considered that a gale of wind, though freque0t,,,.19,41 the weather most usually met with at sea, and tl O the Columbine has, perhaps, proved slightly inferior lu,oct Acorn in bad weather, yet under every other circ uo lo she is so infinitely superior, that there can be n o Jou which the preference should be given. As to the firing, I confidently believe that an action!ue der such sail, in such weather, never did, and Pe:iip t never will, occur ; at all events, I absolutely protest Wsr any decision (as in the case of the Columbine and o ltl, phire) which has not been founded on trial. The 0:00 of firing not being occasioned by the average Melina° 0 the ship, but by the lurches, which, in a heavy sea, common to one ship as another. The superiority possessed by the Sapphire over tm - c ip{ of the squadron may be looked for in the fact of her 110 a person concerned in building her on board every the squadron, whose ability to warp facts to meet thel o ; prejudices is not to be doubted, and of whose mill toj, I suspect the statement I complain of is a pregnant r o i e tg It requires no great penetration to discover.that I all a o il the students of naval architecture, whose very existe° c ;sii school depends upon the success of their professional oat as' and who, therefore, want for no incitement to the 01°' limited partiality. It must strike every body as remarkable that cTuie, which consisted of only six t rials, in onl y fo u r of if the Sapphire participated, and which was peculiaript terrupted by aecidents, should be chosen as decisive ° merits of the respective ships, in preference to the tWtr er ceding trials, and, in fact, to the total exclusio n of ;jiff the reason, however, is obvious. In the first , the $4 ,0 was totally beaten by the Challenger, and in the the whole squadroe. Is were small wisdom, thetet - V allow the merits to be estimated by them. I n cruise, however, she behaved better, although I i r i ti aware of any advanta g e obtained by her on a win" ef t any but the Wolf and Alert. She held her ownt, th e less, and that, by the ingenuity of. your correar" has been distorted into a victory. teti tl It may be remarked also, that the Sapphire is st s i bl, have had a decided advantage over the Challenger, 0,0 stowed for foreign service ; aid that no mention is %, it the unusual circumstance of both being stowed ° t e o f months' provisions; and that the latter had twenty-' o off thirty tons more water in than the former, whiebotee likely contributed greatly to, if it slid not entirely the Sapphire's equality. fO r Here again we may distifiguish the authors of you r : , meat, or, at least, of the accounts upon which oot founded, as it is intended to induce a belief that the °r iot qualities of the Challenger are injured by her f of e stores, when, in fact, they made but a trifling part le additional weight carried by the squadron during t' cruise. be r In fact, the whole is artfully contrived to create ° 0 . 0 that the Sapphire has undeniably proved herself seeottil the other twenty-eights ; whereas, if the truth sore m . cr the very contrary was the case. But we look wi th , , F deuce and hope to a publication of Sir Thomas Ilarlost ficial Report to the Admiralty, convinced tha t to W ever he gives the preference, the palm will be aw ° that ship which most deserves it. p A LOVER OF FAIR - LA ' THE ARMY, • a I t° The 3d Dragoon Guards have re ceive route from Cork for Newbridge.
