SOUTH AMERICA. The following are Extracts from the nritAh Packet, an English News per published at Buenos Ayes BUENOS AYRES, JuNE 9. REPUBLICAN ARMY.—BuLz.LrIN No. 10. April 29, General Lavalle encamped with the second corps on the banks of the Quebracho, And on the 7th of May, the rest iof the army left taye, and encamped on the same banks. At night it rained heavily, and the rivulet became swollen, and Continued so all the 9th. On the 10th it be...;an to decrease, arid could be forded : the whole of the army passed, and continuing its march, arrived at Rio Negro, which it also passed the same day where its waters are broken. This river, so spacious a few leagues below, is, 'where the army crossed, a small and smooth brook, which, after so much rain, vvas not above two feet deep. On its left bank, upon the small hills which overlook it, the tkree corps of the army encamped. It came from Bsye along the road which leads from the latter to Rio Grande. The 11th, 12th, and 13th, it rained incessantly ; the roads have become impracticable, and the brooks overflown. The 15th, Pacheco's divi sion, composed of the 3d cavalry and the Ist, marched for Contrato. The 16th they took up their position on this point, which is near to Candiotc, between the latter and the Yaguaron. General Lavalle left to-day, with the- 4th and 16th cavalry, for the Yerval ; Colonel Videla for Betancun, on the right bank of the Yaguaron ; the rest of the army marched for the fords of the latter, along the Rio Grande road, and encamped near them. All the population which was between the Ya guaron and San Gonzalo has emigrated, passing to the north of this river, and have abandoned their cattle and the fruits of their labour : the houses d:fserted are provided with every kind of grain. General Braun, who is at San Francisco de Paula, has issued orders to all the inhabi tants to leave the place, carrying with them their effects. The same order has been issued to the inhabitants of Las Charqueadas ; and the great quantity of slaves which were employed in these establishments have been transported to the north of Rio Grande. Measures so tyrannical ruin the ar.itinent, and will cause all the empire an evil which will be felt for many years : cattle and poP:aessions arc ahendoned, and in L as Charriueadas great e nd n u m erous piles of salted The enemy's General has considered himself authorized to decree emigration, under the penalty of confiscation, prison, and even of death ; and subjecting to them with the utmost rigour the inhabitant who does not remove. This barbarous decree has con verted peaceful residents into enemies, and has obliged the General of the Republican Army to impose the same penalty of confis cation on the person who emigrates from his re sidence, and converts him;-elf by this act into an enemy ; respecting, and making respected, the few who have remained in their dwellings, whose cattle and property have been protected. The subjects of the Emperor who have emigrated, have lost in one day alone the fruit of many years of labour and economy,—they have to de plore, the rest of their days, the cruelty of a Go vernment that, being unable to protect them from foreign invasion, which itself provoked, carries its ferocity so far as to prohibit its subjects from availing themselves of the generosity of the con queror, and by this act completing their ruin. According to the most authentic intelligence, between 600 and 700 men who were stationed in San Lorenzo, have been sent thence for Rio Grande, where they have arrived. This force embarked at El Yacui, passed by Puerto Alegre, and continued along La Laguna de los Patos, to Rio Grande. The rest of the army is on its march along the pass de la Armada de Camacua, above 30 leagdes distant from the banks of the agua rou direction appears to be towards San Gonzalo, or San Francisco de Paula, a town 10 leagues distant from Rio Grande. The Imperial forces are separated from the Republican army by two rapid rivers, the Camacua and the Piratun, both unfordable. The position of the enemy covers only a few leagues along all the right bank of the Yacui of La Laguna de los Patos, and of San Gonzalo ; the remainder of the Continent is at the discretion of the Republican arms. The continental cavalry, under General Barreto and Colonels Bento Gonzales and Bento Manuel, have not again presented themselves since the action of Camacua ; a few small parties only are seen in different directions, but tight or nine leagues from the divisions of the Republi can army. All the enemy's attention and care are confined to the withdrawal of the horses, but the cattle have remained. ROMAN A. DEESA, Colonel, Charged with the staff of the Republican Army. CHILE. On the 2d of May, the President, General Friere, gave in lais demission to Congress; on th e sth it was considered and admitted. The Vice-President, General Pinto, has been ap pointed to substitute him in the Presidency, and on the Bth took the customary oath. A subject came under the consideration of Congress in April last, of a novel and interest ing character—nothing less than the formal ac cusation of one of the Ministers of the Govern ment, by a Member of Congress. It was di vided into various charges, viz.—For having transgressed against the article of the law, which declares the faculties and liMits of the Executive, by naming to two vacancies In the Court of Ap peals ; for infraction of the law relative to the liberty of the press ; and for revoking the law of the Assembly of Mauin, concerning the division of the Province. All these charges were satis factorily answered, and the real state of the case clearly explained by the accused, who fully exo nerated himself from every thing like crimi nality. This defence throws no inconsiderable portion of light on the actual condition of the Republic, and exhibits facts that palpably con vince us of the lamentable state of disorganiza tion to which it is unfortunately reduced.— The Congress is at variance with the Government; and the provinces with the Congress. The latter trespasses and tramples on the rights of the Exe cutive, which would appear to be the mock re presentation of a power it does not possess—a mere scape-goat, on which the sins of the Con gress and the provinces may be occasionally visited, while the real delinquents enjoy the utm ost impunity. Without liberty to act, it is made to be ar all the responsibilities to which popular right s subject the possessors of power. —The proc es , while vociferously demanding the code by which their rights are to be defined, and by which the nation is to be governed, meet the measures taken l e , t h e purpose, by others which, under th e pretence of preserving their provincial immunities, are in fact completely neutralizing the labours of those to whom they have intrusted their organization ! FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Journal dts Debuts.) (PRIVATE CORREfiI'ONtENCr.) " MADRID, AUG. 17.—Yesterday evening M. Recacho was displaced, and with hith has disappeared the only support of the moderate system. This event is the precursor of the fall of the moderate party in the Ministry. It is astonishing that MM. Salazar, Salmon, and Zambrano still continue in office. The Apostolicals think of nothing but war against Por tugal. They are at this moment engaged in making out an exact list of Volunteer Royalist Militia, on which all their plans are founded. M. Carvajal, the Inspector-General, has already announced that the number of volunteers exceeds 300,000, although, however, only 80,000 are armed. But as it is known already that the number wanting arms is nearly 200,000, orders have been given both to our own manufacturers and those of France for a consider able supply of arms, which are to be ready by next September, at which time, it is said, an army of 50,000 volunteers will he united to the force under the command of General Sarsfield. " The police is now under the superintendence of M. Calomarde, Minister of Grace and Justice, who fills up all the appointments in it.' It will in future be organized in the following manner :—There will be for each province, the capital of which has not a criminal court, a sub-commander of police. " Accounts received yesterday from Catalonia state, that the Government of the Carlists has esta blished its seat at Vich, whence it issues orders to all Catalonia, causing itself to be obeyed in the vil lages and towns of the second rank, with a prompt ness much superior to that which has hitherto at tended the execution of the orders of the legitimate authority. Hitherto this Government has appointed only civil functionaries, but the last accounts state that it has appointed many colonels and inferior officers." (From the Constitutionnd. ) EXTRACT or A PRIVATE LETTER. " LISBON, Auc. 11.—It is, in fact, certain and notorious, that the armed rebels who have attacked their country have constantly enjoyed perfect impu nity., while the authorities pursue to the utmost venial transgressions, committed by men who have, as faithful subjects, respected the legitimate rights of Don Pedro IV. "Letters from•Cintra state the Princess Regent to have been received with a mournful silence, which furnished a striking contrast to the lively ac clamations of which she was constantly the object till since July last year. " It has been remarked, that from the commence ment of this week, the portraits of the Infant Don ik . l:;,,ruel have been ostentatiously multiplied, and they are exposed to sale in all the most public streets. This fact, insignificant under ordinary circumstances, appears now not a little remarkable.*.' (ErraAcr OF A PRIVATE LETTER.) "MADRID, AUG. 18.—The troubles in Catalonia and the official acts of the Regency which is esta blished in that province, to deliver, it says, King Ferdinand VII., have already caused a fresh change in the Government. At two o'clock this morning, an Alcaid, de easa y corte, Went successively to the houses of M. Recacho, Superintendent-Gencial of the Police of the kingdom, and N. de Balbao, In tendant of the Police of Madrid and all New Castile. This Magistrate announced himself to have come in the name of the King, and, and presented first to M. Recacho, and afterwards to M. de Balbao, an order from the King, which cashiered both, and exiled them, the first to Oviedo, the second to Gra nada, and ordered that the seals should be imme diately put in their apartments on all the moveables which they contained of whatever description.— This unlooked for proceeding is as yet known here but to few persons, but it has filled with astonish ment the greater portion of those who have heard of it. I think I can say with certainty that the police here will'be officially destroyed at the beginning of September, and perhaps sooner. how will it be replaced? There can be no question about that .when it is recollected that the Council of State demanded, within the last six weeks, from the King, the re-establishment of the Inquisition, in a representation made ad hoc; and represented to the King, that this restoration was the only mean; that could regain the confidence of the people, and secure the public tranquillity. This appears to us clearly to explain from what state of slavery the Re gency established in Catalonia wishes to deliver our Sovereign : it is no doubt from that of moderation. Meanwhile our Government has not a maravedi at its disposal and has only a discontented army. The Regency of Catalonia, and the Council of State, have not chosen their time badly. (EXTRACT OF ANOTHER PRIVATE LETTER.) " Since the news of the speedy arrival of Don Pedro in Portugal was received, a project has been conceived for hastening the development of the Apostolical system. On die morning of the 15th, the death of Mr. Canning havit)g become known at St. Ildefonso, the Apostolicals believed themselves omnipotent, and they found no difficulty in getting from the King the decree which cashiered, as you have already heard, M. Recacho and the Director- General of the Police. " At this moment a general inspection of the Royalist volunteers, and an exact estimate of all the volunteers in the kingdom, have been resolved upon. Their number is stated to amount to 300,000, of which nearly one-third only are armed; but I can pledge myself that at the moment when I am writ ing, orders have been given to purchase 200,000 muskets; and I can further assure you, that a Frenchman, who is in the service of the Infant Don Carlos, and whose father has a manufactory of arms in France, has obtained for the latter an order for 60,000 muskets. Ido not know what they wish to do, but the general opinion is, that it is intended to strike a decisive blow; and that to effect this a corps of 30,000 or 40,000 volunteers are about to be added to the Army of Observation."

" The Gazette de France gave yesterday to that which it seems it wishes the appearance of reality, in an nouncing, under date of Lisbon, August 8, that Generals Villa Flor, Stubbs, and Sampayo, were cashiered, and succeeded by Generals Allente and Palmerino, and that the Ministers and high functionaries at Lisbon had decided, at the instance of Austria, that on completing his 25th year, the Prince Don Miguel would have a right to as sume the reins of Government. Our letters of the 11th say nothing of the execution of these important measures, which, however, appear to be in the contemplation of the Present Portuguese Ministry.—Note by the Editor of the Constitutionnel." It will be in the recollection of our readers that a Jew was found in a field on the Eastern Road to Leith some weeks ago. The cause of his death was net known, and it could not be accurately ascertained, from the decayed state of the body, whether it had been occa sioned by violence or natural disease. Suspicions were, however, at the time entertained that the unfortunate man had been murdered, and within these few days circum stances have transpired that have strengthened these suspi cions. From an accidental occurrence it has been disco vered that a man of the name of WAlahon, a supernume rary police officer, was in possession of some property which belonged to the deceased. A f ew (lays ago a gold watch was offered by this person for sale to a Jew, who ultimately made a bargain for it, but the price was not to be paid till a subsequent day. In the meantime, on fur ther investigation, circumstances came out, corroborating the suspicions already entertained that 11I'Mahon had ob tained possession of the watch by undue means, a warrant was procured, and he was taken into custody on Tuesday. His house was searched, when there were found in it seve ral gold and silver watches, gold brooches and rings, also a silver snuff-box and a purse (which two latter articles are known to have been the property of the deceased), and a bank deposit receipt for 201., the date of which, however, is subsequent to the time when the body of the man was found. Al'Malion alleges that he got the property from a packman. We understand other parties are implicated.-- The deceased's relatives, we hear, reside in London. — ...Edinburgh Courant. 10 4 • LONDON, TIIURSDAY EVENING, AUGUST 30, 1827. Mr. HustussoN did not leave town this morning for Windsor, as stated in some morning papers that he would. The Right lion. Gen- tlernan was in Whitehall this afternoon, having paid a visit to the Colonial Office fit the morning. The result of his visit to Windsor is as yet mere conjecture. The Paris Papers of Monday, which reached us last night, contain more intelligence from Spain and Portugal than the Gazette de France, which we received by express yesterday, fur nished. It appears by private correspondence from Madrid up to the 17th inst., in the Journal des Debats and Constitationncl, that information of the death of Mr. CANNING reached St. Ilde fonso on the morning of the 15th inst., and that this event having inspired the Apostolicals with fresh confidence, they had no difficulty in obtaining from the KING the decree by which M. REcActro and other persons of the mode- rate party were cashiered. This circumstance alone sufficiently shows the extraordinary influence which our lamented Mi nister had obtained over the Cabineta of other countries, and the immense :importance • of his life to the interests of the civilized world. The growth of despotism was checked while he lived even in its most genial soil, and if the seeds of liberal principles which he had scattered abroad had not taken deep root in Spain, still they had germinated, and would ultimately have shot up and destroyed the rank and noxious weeds which occupied the ground. His death appears to be the signal for renewed exertions to reduce the Spanish nation to the lowest state of degradation, and from the intelli gence conveyed by these papers, there is too much reason to fear that exertions will now seriously be made to extend the poisonous draught to the Portdgucse nation also. The Royalist Volunteers are rapidly increasing in number, arms are ordered, and the invasion of Portugal again currently spoken of. The cause of the Apostolicals in that kingdom will also be assisted by the Revolutionary principles a vowed by some of those who stile themselves Constitu tionalists—if the Proclamation which we pub lished yesterday, from the Gazette de France, has actuallybeen promulgated by the partizans of SALDANHA. Extracts from the Papers will be found in another column. German Papers to the 23d inst., which reach ed us last night, furnish no political news. The following arc extracts : orric A n, rm A y u c. who lB ;v — ent i. to he Greece °fficers Bavarianl‘i last td year, subalterns retu r n o e f d the: o this city yesterday, with the exception of Lieut.-Colonel Heidegger, who remains in Greece, and Lieutenant Schon hammer, who is detained by indisposition at Bolzano. MAYENCE, Atin. 22.—Eighteen families, consisting of 116 individuals from the Province of Starkenberg, in the Grand Duchy of Hesse, passed through this c it y on t h e 19th, on their way to North America. V IEN NA, AUG. 16.—A division of the Hungarian noble guard is going to set out to-day to Presburg, to do duty as a guard of honour to their Majesties the Emperor and Em press, at the closing of the Diet, which will take place on Friday. To-morrow their Majesties will leave Laxemburg, w h ere the Court has been for these three days, and go t o Schloss hoff, and on Friday the Emperor will proceed to the palace of the Primate, where he will deliver the closing speech and dismiss the Estates. FRANKFORT, AUG. 22.—Letters from our respected fellow-citizen, the celebrated traveller, Mr. Edward Reip pel, announce that he had returned in the middle of June this year from his journey to Abyssinia, accompani e d by Mr. Hay, and has arrived sate at Cairo with a very large collection of subjects of natural history.

VIENNA, AUG. 16.—Metalliques, 91 7- 1 6 ; Bank Shares, 1072. The New York Papers to the 2d inst., which reached town yesterday, do not contain any in telligence of imp or t anc e. It is mentioned in them,on authority of letters from Vera Cruz to the 27th June, that, when news arrived there of the execution of the Padre ARENAS, the people of Vera Cruz had been considerably agi tated, and that a handbill had been posted in the streets, declaring the state of Vera Cruz inde pendent of the Mexican Federation. "It was not known," says the account, " whether this was intended as a pretext for plundering the Spaniards and other resident foreigners, as being traitors, or whether it was intended to feel the pulse of the inhabitants towards a separation." The prices of Stock at New York on the Ist inst. were as follow :—Six per Cents., 1813, 1011 ; 6 per Cents., 1814 and 1815, 105 ; 3 per Cents., 87. Bills on London at 60 days were 9i to 10 premium. The following is an extract of a letter from the Mate of the Concord to his Brokers,—having been captured by a Buenos-Ayrean privateer : MONTE VIDEO, JUNE 11, 1827. GENTLEMEN,-You will no doubt be surprised at re ceiving this letter, but as the report of the vessel's capture will no doubt reach you by the packet, and will, as all reports generally are, be exaggerated, I think it my duty, as mate, and commanding the vessel in the absence of the captain, to send you this, for your's and the owner's information. On the 27th of April, being in 34 deg. 36 min. South latitude, and 50 degrees 50 minutes West long. We were brought to by a schooner under Brazilian colours, the commander of which hailed us, and ordered the Captain to come on board with his papers and letter bag; it was then blowing pretty fresh, about one o'clock, p.m. The Captain went in the jolly-boat, -with one of the passengers and four men on board the schooner; as soon as they got alongside, they were all taken out and replaced by two officers and four men from the schooner, who came on hoard of us, armed with pis tols, and took charge of as, the one who appeared to be chief telling Inc he was come to take charge of the ship as prize -master; by this time the schooner had hauled down the Brazilian and hoisted Buenos Ayres colours. We then made sail with her, but it coming on to blow, and the' sea getting up, we could not send the boat back for the Captain. About half-past five o'clock the Captain of the schooner hailed and ordered her officer to shorten sail and keep under his lee all night. At ten o'clock it came on to blow very hard, with dark rainy weather. I now found the prize master had no instructions with re gard to signals, and by that means he lost the privateer in the night ; he then cruized off and on till the 2d May, when not seeng any thing of the schooner, he stood for the Salado river, on the south side of the River Plate, in hopes of finding her there, but in stead of that, we found the place blockaded by four Bra zilian men of war, who, in the night of the 4th May, boarded us; the prize-master and 13 of the men having cut the jolly-boat from the stern, and rowed on shore, leaving us in charge of the vessel, the other two men giv ing themselves up as prisoners, and going below about half an hour before the Brazilian boat reached us ; they, however, took charge of us as a prize taken from the Buenos-Ayreana, and, as such, sent us into this ' port, when we were soon liberated by the efforts of Mr. Hood, the British Consul, and Admiral Otway, on hoard of his Majesty's ship Ganges, they being of opinion that she could not be a re-capture, as she was in my possession at the time they took her. It was also their opinion, as it is mine, that the Buenos Ayreans did not intend to de tain us, but only to examine the papers, when it came on to blow. We have not began to discharge, and lam ra ther awkwardly situated, as the Captain has got all the papers with him, and I am sorry to say there is no account of him. (Signed) JOHN CUMMINE, Mate. •P. S. The privateer was formerly an American, and called the Bolivar; she is now called the Vincidorc. The Lord Chief Baron ALEXANDER has been appointed to succeed Lord MANNERS as Chancellor of Ireland, The extensive and sound knowledge of the law which this Learned Judge possesses is universally acknowledged ; and his Lordship is highly esteemed for his urbanity and kindness of disposition. His Majesty's brig packet, Sheldrake, has ar rived with a Mail from Buenos Ayres, from which place she sailed oil the 7th June, and from Monte Video on the 12th June. Extract from the Agents to Lloyd's, at Buenos Ayres, dated June 7 The British brig Florida, Hastings, on a whaling voyage, which was taken possession of the 28th of March, off the Castillos, by a Buenos Ayres privateer boat, com manded by Fournier, and afterwards armed and made several captures of Brazilian vessels, arrived here to-day, and an enquiry has been commenced by the British Mini ster. The Zumaca, Rosalie, taken off Rio Janeiro by the Florida, and the cutter Natividad, taken off Colonia by the _Republican° privateer boat, arrived here, the former on the 23d, and the latter on the 24th ult. The Presidenta privateer brig, and the Presidenta privateer schooner, sailed hence the 27th ult. on a cruize. Our Letters from Portsmouth this morning mention that orders had been received there for the whole of the eight ships composing the Ex perimental squadron to be fitted for foreign ser vice with all possible expedition. As these ships have been so long under trial, and their relative merits fully ascertained, it was conjec tured at Portsmouth that they were to be em ployed on some other service, but nothing had transpired relative to their destination. The attention of the public has been more particularly directed to the Western Circuit than to any other—not so much from the novelty or importance of the causes or crimes tried on that Circuit, as from the singularity of the charges delivered by Chief Justice BEST, embracing, in their ambitious range, every thing human or divine. His Lordship is not more remarkable for his antipathy to the Press than for his gratuitous professions of ad miration for liberal discussion. In theory he is the best friend—in practice the most inveterate foe, who has ever exhibited the ardour of his feeling towards the Liberty of the Press. But we must, at the same time, do his Lordship the justice to observe, that no man has expressed more contempt of the chicanery of the law, or wished more to simplify its crooked policy. It cannot be denied that his Lordship pos sesses a good heart ; but then the warmth of his temperament too often defeats the bene ficial tendency of his kindlier :feelings. In disposition, none is more affable—in manner, no ne more polite or gentlemanly ; but touch him on a tender chord, however unintentionally, and the urbanity of the gentleman is lost in the irascibility of the cynic. In short you never know when you have him, he is so capricious in his humour. With the best intentions in the world he frequently deceives himself without enlighten ing his auditors. Such is the vehemence of his manner on certain occasions in charging the Jury, that he forgets the calm dignity of the -Judge in the earnestness of the advocate. He is too sensitive to minute matters, in his desire to impress the Jury with his own view of all the circumstances of the case. He is, without exception, the most eloquent Judge on the Bench. But his imagination is often too vivid for his judgment. He secs, or fancies that he sees, the merits of a case before more sedate minds can comprehend its bearing, and this intuitive perception too frequently brings him into collision with the more touchy members of the Bar. Hence, scarcely a term elapses—certainly, not a circuit without a legal fracas between his Lordship and some of his learned Serjeants. In this smart but undignified interlude, Mr. Sergeant WILDE has, by general consent, obtained the greatest share •of celebrity. He even divides the palm of questionable fame with his Lordship, and has besides the rare merit of originating the stormy discussion which has al ways compromised the dignity of the Bench without exalting that of the Bar. The present observations have been elicited by the recent affair at Bristol, in which city, though par tial to sparring exhibitions, we believe the turn-up in a Court of Justice was as new as unexpected. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.) FROM LLOYD'S. DEAL, AUG. 29.—Wind N.E.--Arrived, the Cortes, from New York; and La Belle Alliance, Hunter, from India. The Russian fleet remains. PORTSMOUTH, AUG. 29.—Wind W.N.W.— Arrived his Majesty's ship Maidstone, from Africa, sailed the Ist of July, and from Ascension the 21st, having a quantity of gold dust on merchants' ac count; also the Hope, Rippon, from Memel. FALMOUTH, AUG. 28.—Wind N.—Arrived, the Sheldrake packet, Ede, from Buenos Ayres. Sailed, the Magnet packet, for Lisbon. The Robert, Simpson, from Messina to Smyrna, has been plundered of nearly all her cargo, and was fallen in with by his Majesty's ship,Zebra, which arrived at Malta previous to the 31st ult., from Smyrna. The Huddersfield, Shaw, from London to Hull, was on shore, near Hasborough, on Tuesday. THE FUNDS-(THIS DAY). CITY, TWELVE O' CLOCK. The settlement yesterday ii. the English Funds went off better than was expected, particularly as the fluctuation during the time was frequent and heavy ; the business of to-day is also important, in the final adjustment of accounts, it being what is termed pay-day, &c. of the balances due. This morning the appearance of Consols is unsteady, and the market exhibits a troubled feature; a timidity seems to have seized the minds of the operators, which not only affects the Funds but also trade generally in the City, and this is likely to continue the case until something decisive is finally known of the adjustment of the Ministerial arrangements. Con sols opened at 864, but declined to 86k, sellers, they have since been 86i, buyers, for account, and 864 for money, at which rate they continue. India Bonds are up to 91 2, Exchequer Bills, 58 60 pm. In the Foreign Funds there has been a want of business; Mexican Bonds are still heavy at 674} sellers; the situation of the affairs of Portugal and Spain continue to weigh heavy on the securities of the former, and if it is true that Don Miguel, as reported, is to return to Portugal as Regent, it will be impossible to calculate on the consequences which may result from such an appointment; there is but one opinion, and that is, matters cannot remain long in their present state, the Bonds of Portugal may therefore be considered to bear a high rate at their present price, 75 6. Nothing new can be stated re lative to Share speculations ; Brazilian Mines are 13 14 pm.; Real del Monte, 30 15 dis. Three per Cent.

Consols remain fidgety, they reached 87, have gone back to 86 1 3- sellers, and are now buyers. An Express has arrived, bringing the price of the French Funds at Paris, on Tuesday :—The Five per Cents. 103 f. 85c.—Three per Cents. 72f. 85c. THREE O'CLOCK Consols for Account, 86k. Sir GODFREY WEBSTER'S fine yacht, the Scorpion, has been sold to the Hon. Mr. GREVILLE, for 3,000 guineas.—Brighton Gazette. THE HARVEST—In this neighbourhood is now nearly completed, and is considerably more than an average crop. The whole of the corn has been carried in very fine condition.—Cheltenham Chronicle. Among a list of penalties for the regulation of Queen ELIZABETH'S household, we find the following " That none toy with the maides on paine of four-pence." Sir GREGon M'GREGOR still remains in cus tody, no fresh sureties having been offered. CARLTON-HOUSE.—The removal of Carlton house is now almost accomplished. The centre of that once celebrated building only remains. We never consi dered it famous for architectural beauty, but it was the scene of famous princely hospitality. The grand conserva tory received the powerful Potentates of Europe and the Emperor of Russia. All the magnificence of the Court of Great Britain was displayed on that spot, which in a few days will no longer possess one mark of former grandeur. The palaces of Kings in London have never been of long duration. LIVERPOOL, AUG. 28.—Cotton continues in limited demand ; the sales to-day are about 800 to 900 bags at last quotations, but in the lower descriptions of American Cottons the buyers have the advantage over the sellers; otherwise there is no particular feature to notice in the sales of this day. Rather heavy arrivals arc expected from New Orleans. STREETS ON FIRE.—It is, we are assured, an indisputable fact, that great part of Piccadilly, and the whole of White-horse-street, were actually on fire for several hours o n one d ay l as t wee k. O w in g to the works going on at th e great sewer th e r e , th e g as i n considerabl e quantities had escaped, and so insinuated itself into the neighbouring earth, that on being accidentally ignited, it burnt in a very alarming manner for three or four hours. A dreadful conflict between two powerful and numerous factions took place at the fair of Ennistimon, on Wednesday last. The Magistrates had been apprised of the intended battle, and secured the attendance of Chief Con stable Carey, from Kilrush, with forty police, and Mr. Warren of the 99th Regiment, with eighteen rank and file. In spite of this precaution, the combatants commenced the work of slaughter in the centre of the town ; every shop was c l os ed, and business suspended ; vollies of stones flew at the civil and military power, accompanied with frightful shouts.

The parser was shipped off to the land-cabin, (the cage), the money, &c., taken from him, and brought before the Magistrate to-day. The property was produced by the officers. The commander, who had struck to the sway of Bacchus and the persuasions of the " ladies," appeared, and ex pressed great regret that he had been the means of getting his friend into sic a plight ; said he was one of the best fel lows that ever lived, and that if he had 10,0001. he should have been happy to have had it taken from him Jy his purser. The MAGISTRATE participated in enjoying the joke, and hoped it would be understood, that not the slightest imps. tation was to be attached to the careful Scotehman. THE ARMY. GENERAL ORDER.
