SPAIN. (PROM A BELGIC PAPER.) MADRID, JULY 21. We at length approach the denouement of a political drama, the most monstrous that stupidity and igno rance ever pertcrmed on the theatre of the world. We are at the crisis cf that ministerial conspiracy, the exposure of which must reveal to Us the secrets of many others. Justice, common sense, national rights, and the manes of Riego are about to be avenged and a Ministry which have forfeited their honours, betrayed their country, and sold the South of Europe, will soon experience the chastisement which Heaven always reservmfor the wicked. ' In cur.aequence of events, the traitors and the conquered hav ing disappeared, the auxiliaries and those they .came to assist, found themselves alone, and opposed to each other. Hatred of the allies was then soon displayed. The cry of the initiated ab selutiste was—" Death to the French." The Navarre Army of the Faith on its part put the Prince Generalissimo out of the law of nations. French Royalist blood was shed in the capital, lay the hands of Spanish Royalists. The tocsin was to be rung, and the Sicilian vespers renewed when the King uttered a word of disproval; and that word stopped the business. They then began to think him an Afrance:ada : the Clergy were alarmed, and set about confederating. They heated the minds of the people and the volunteers, and plotted the deposing of 'Ferdi nand, and the proclaiming of Charles. While all this was passing, a certain 'Power always on the watch, looked on with pleasure, and had agents in the Aposto lic Junta and the King's Council. The French Government then perceived its danger, and while talking of saving Spain, found that it had need to save itself. It was at first intended to strike terror by some great political blow, but the Apostolic Junta defeated this plan, and threw the agents of it, Cruz, Llano, and 34 officers of the Guards into prison. It was then wished to get the'lnfants Carlos and Francisco, under some pretext or other, out of Spain ; but the Junta were on their guard against this scheme, and rendered it abortive. It was finally planned that the Royal Family should , come to the Ebro, and follow the.example set by the King of Portugal; but this third contrivance was likewise disappointed by the Junta. The French Government then resolved upon attacking the Junta in its formation ; but instead of producing the expected effect, the removal of Father Cirillo, the Royal Secretary Ugarte, and the Minister Eymeric, served only to irritate still more the abso lutists. This party, in fact, had obtained a most formidable attitude, in consequence of the totally absurd and erroneous conduct of the French Government, which is responsible to 'Spain, to France, and to all the world, for the horrors com mitted in the Peninsula, in consequence of the unjust ground, and the bad management of its interference. The boldness of the fanatical party grew with its success, the alarm of the French Government with the daring of the Royalists, and the stupor of King Ferdinand with the fears of the French and the rebellion of his best servants. Thus, by their conduct in Spain, the French Ministers have entirely •compromised Ferdinand's crown. In this state of things, what is to he done ? "If it be true," the French Government and the unfortunate King of Spain may say, " that the absolute party consists of the great majority of the people, and that the theocratic government is the de facto government of Spain, as we have said a thousand times over and over to the whole world, we arc ruined by our own handy-work, and legitimacy is destroyed by its rated zealous defenders. What course then shall we adopt amidst the cries which we have provoked ? 'There remains for us only one." This single course is again -nothing else but a plot. What an uninterrupted series of -scendalous transactions To overawe the Carlistoi, or partisans of Carlos, two camps ire to be established at Bayonne and Perpignan. This arrange ment Once completed, the Royal Family will quit La Granja, and approach the French frontiers. When King Ferdinand gets there, and is surrounded by the leaders of the moderate .party, he will issue proclamationv in the name of legitimacy "sod ids allies, will order the disarming of the Royalist volun teers, and the banishment of the Carlisto faction. fie will talk at the same time of oblivion of the past, of the union of parties, of representative government, and ,of a charter. To procure a concurrence in this grand scheme, agents are already charged to give semi-confidential hints to persons who, while in the Cortes, were remarked for their extreme moderation ; sorne.have also thrown out offers to the men whose perfi dious and ridiculous tergiversations have already been judged and condemned by publie opinion. Finally, others have dared to make propositions for neutralizing the influence of those who have Jost every thing except the character of honour and energy. Meanwhile, will the Apostolic Junta—that part of the faith which the Cabinet of the Tuileries rented, nursed, armed, and protected—be able to ward off the blow aimed against it ? We have good reason to believe that, with a view to defeat its adversaries, it is at this moment .labouring to bring about -the abdication of King Ferdinand.—livery Prince who places his conscience servilely in the hands of the clergy is sooner or later dethroned by them. The party of the Cortes, however, have plainly shown that they will never eater into any compromise with the assassins -of Riego. With the .exception of the entail number of miserable creatures who at the last moment of the contest betrayed the true cause of their country, as Constitutionaliets will fzure .111 the ranks of the Trappists or i❑ those of the French. Be. sides, what is to be expected from all this ? Can we he such dopes as to believe that tile Preach Government means to give • sea liberal inatitutions rhiVit it is - daily taking them from its (pen-people ? Car: we ever believe in the veracity of the authors of the censorship, of septennial election, of the law of sacrilege, of the restoration of the Jesuit , , ofElectoral plots, and ofzelmi - nietrative purification ? Who amongst us is ignorant that of all perfidious Governments moderate despotism is the roost - dangerous ? On whom, then, does the French Minister rely for completing the settlement of Spain ? Is it on these quiet tranquil men, whose conduct has always been dictated by selfishness and pusillanimity ? Is it on the multitude of deserters from every party, without any principles of their own ?. Is it from these • who at,first sided with Buonaparte against Ferdinand, ar.d now -side with Ferdinand against Charles? In the political state of. Spain, therefore, the French must depend solely or. them selves. But if it be true, as the French Ministtra have always asserted, that the absolutists form a commanding party in Spain, how could they engage in a war, the end of which, in that case, human prudence could never foresee ? On the contrary, if deception has been practised, by representing a factious mi nority as the Spanish nation, what may not be expected from the party of the Cortem, overthrown by treason, but revived by circumstances ? Again, if the French Ministry fail in this perilous struggle, when can the present generation expect to • see the end of a war which will rage in both hemispheres ? And if France•should succeed, will not a ne , .v military occupe •tion become necessary for an indefinite period ? . Oh impenetrable decrees of divine justice ! What a mul titude of ills is Spain about to heap on the heads of the authors of her misfortunes ! What a prospect for the future ! And is the direction of that future to be still confided to the worst Ministers of Europe—to men without principle and without talents ? We are, then, warranted-in concluding that a great political event Ls preparing beyond the Pyrenees ; that it will be an event calculated to revenge the violent rights of suffering hu manity, and in particular those of the Spanish„people, which, have been most grievously insulted ; that Spain will conse quently become a political cancer to-the French Government; that, supposing the ministerial plot to be-formed, and the ab solutist party to be really what it has been described . • * We here suppress with regret, but for reasons which may be easily understood, the sinister prophecy, which follows as a natural consequence from the above facts a - .2.d reflections—Note by the Editor of the Netherlands paper. GItFECE. (From the Allgemeine Zeitung, Aug. 18.) AUUSBURG, AUG. 17. A Letter from Constantinople of 25th July, affirms, that on the 10th July, 6,000 Egyptian troops had -arrived before Missolongiti, in order to assist Itedschid Pacha to take that town by storm, or oblige it to surrender. Ibrahim Pacha had still his head-quarters atVripolizza. (From the Austrian Observer of the 14th e August.) CONSTANTINOPLE, JITLY 25. Since our last report we have received Letters from Smyrna of the lllth of this month, from which it appears that the ac counts of the action at Myli, (the Mills) on the 25th June, given in the bulletins published in the Hydra Gazette, were a tissue of fables; and only calculated to quiet for a moment the apprehensions of the public. Ibrahim Pacha's march towards Napoli di Romania was evidently a mere reconnoissance. While with eighty horsemen he appeared before one of the gates of the fortress, his vanguard advanced along the coast of the bay without resistance to Myli. Demetrius Ypsilanti, with a few hundred men, was upon an eminence near that place. The Egyptians attempted to drive them from that position, which was protected by a marsh in fre,ht, and the sea in the rear; but gave it up after a little firing. Though a brisk fire was kept up upon therm, both from the Greeks on the eminence and from two Greek vessels, they only lost two men. The truth of these statements is unanimously certified by the officers of the French frigate the Syren, whose humane conduct is extolled by the Greeks themselves. The dangers said to threaten Ibrahim on his march back to Tripolizza, appear also to have existed only in the Hydra Ga zette, it is certain he entered that place without meeting any obstacle. Nothing is known here of any later proceedings. We have received a short extract from a late No. of the Oa vtte, which says that a smart action with Colocotroni •had taken place on the Sch July at Trieurfa (which we cannot find in any of our maps), as the reinforcements under liussam Bey landed at Navarin, did not begin their march till the 6th or 7th July, and consequently could not reach Tripolizza before the middle of the month, it is not probable that Ibrahim Paella would engage in any new operations before their arrival, we shall most probably learn some further particulars by the next account. Immediately after Ibrahim's appearance before Napoli, it was known that the Magistrates were engaged in investigating an extensive plot, which was to facilitate his conquest of that Peninsula. •In Napoli itself several considerable persons were arrested, among whom were three Deputies. On the 9th of July (according to the report of an Officer who was present), four Commissioners of the Government arrived at Syra, from Napoli, with a guard of above 30 men, and with the help of the Eparch (a common rapacious Hydriot), arrested and took out of their houses some of the greatest merchants ; among others Marurani, Tarpuci, Cichlichi, Boccochi, &c., on pretence of secret understanding with the Paella of Egypt. Niti, a merchant, who had arrived from . Alexandria a few hours before, was also arrested, and his ships sequestrated. Three of these merchants were under Eng lish protection, and two (Pietro Rossi and Cicini) under French protection. The French Consul zealously interfered for the latter, accompanied them to the Eparcit, and declared that so long as they were detained he would not leave them. Here upon the Eparch sent the two merchants to a separate prison, and compelled the Consul by threats of personal ill-treatment to leave his house. In spite of the remonstrances of their families and fellow-citizens, all the prisoners were embarked on the 11th and 12th on board a ship which was to take them to Hydra. The Greek populace at Syra, at present the refuse of the Archipelago, amused themselves during these scenes with savage cries and abuse of the Franks of all nations, among whom indeed, as well as the respectable inhabitants of the island, there was a general feeling of indignation at the violent proceeedings of the Greek commissioners. The news of the arrival 'of the Captain Pacha on the 10th of July, in the Gulf of Patras, is fully confirmed. Ills fleet anchored at Crionere, some leagues to the eastward of ,Milsolonghi. The Captain Pacha there received notice from Redschid Pacha, that Missolonglii could only hold out a few days longer—that Jusuf Pacha had occupied Vostiza, and that the road to Prevesa, as well as that by way of Salona to Livadia, was entirely clear of enemy's troop z. A new flotilla is fitting out here to cont of three corvettes and five brigs,• to man which volunteers are collecting in the capital and the environs. The fugitives who had re!)aired in great numbers from the Morea and Livadia to the Asiatic coast; especially to the nity of Smyrna, received permission to reside there without any difficulty, as soon as they have paid ;011-tax, &c. (EXTRACT OF AN ACCOUNT FROM CORFU, JULY 21.) " At the moment that the Packet-boat is going to sail, I learn Iron . ; a quarter, the correctness of -which has been proved on many former occasions, that on the Ilith of this month Redschid Pacha made an attack on Nissolonghi ; that on the following day the besieged had asked and obtained an armistice for 24 hours, and it was expected the place would be surrendered on the 20th or 21st. A few days must chew what truth there is in this account." CHAIN MUDGE AT Sitticr.ns.—Last week two surreys were made by the proper. authorities, under the direc tion of the Corporation of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, to ascertain if it was likely that the erection of the projected Suspension Bridge across the Tyne at Shields would in any wise prove injurious to the navigation of th e River. Though the result i not yet officially known, yet from what has transpired, there is every reason to expect a favourable report. I'D the meantime is is proper to remark, that the Committee of management fat • used every endeavour to remove o ,, jections ; and with this view it is intended to place the piles as near kfgh water mark as possible, which will of course keep tnem out of the way of the shipping. The Newcastle Chronicle says _...." The origin a l plan of this bridge has been much hn proved by the adoption of an expedient for the prevention of the lateral, or pendulous, motion, from the efle:t of high winds, which promises to be attended with saccess. This has affaded the architect the opportunity of most materially adding to the imposing appearance of the piers ; and from the plans and drawings which we have seen, we have no hesitation in saying,. that this bridge will be one of the grandest and most stupen dous objects in the Kingdom when completed."

Grand Lodge for this County was held on Friday, the 12th instant, at the Town Hall, of Poole, by Writ.' Williams, Esq. 31. P., the IL W. Prov. Grand Master. —Being the birthAay of our host gracious Sovereign, the Grand Patron of the Order, the morning was ushered in with the ringing of bells, and every other demonstration of joy usual on suds occasions. The Prov. Grand Lodge was opened at 10 o'clock, and after the various Lodges had been arranged under their respective banners, they formed In procession, and, preceded by the town band of Poole, walked to Church in the following order, viz..:— Two Tylers. Visiting Brethren. LODGES FROM HAMPSHIRE. New Forest Lodge, • Lymington. Lodge of Hengist, Christchurch. Lodge of Unity, Ringwood. LODGES OF THE PROVINCE. Lodge of Benevolence, Sherborne.

Banner of the Prey. Grand Master. Prov. Grand Sword Bearer. I'rov. Grand Master, William Williams, Esq. M.P. Prov. Grand Stewaids. Upon arriving at the Church, the procession halted, -and the brethren thrmed in two lines, through which the Pray. G. M. and his Officers passed into the Church, followed by the seve ral Lodges in inverted order. The fineness of the weather had attracted a vast concourse of spectators, and the Church was crowded to excess, though from the judicious arrangements of the Prov. Grand Officers, assisted by the Members of the Poole Lodge, not the slightest inconvenience either from the heat or pressure was felt. Divine .service was read in a very im pressive manner by the Ito,. Brother W. 0. Bartlett, of Lytchett ; and a most excellent and suitable sermon was preached by the Rev. Brother 0. I'. Brice, Pm. Grand Chaplain, from Romans xii. 10, 11: " Be kindly affection ed one to another with brotherly love, in honour prefer ring one another; not slothful in business, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord." The gentlemen of the amateur private concerts had kindly volunteered their services on this occasion : and, aided by the eminent musical abilities of Br. Baker, of Christchurch, anti several Ladies and Gentlemen of the town and neighbourhood, produced a treat for the lovers of harmony, which has seldom been equalled on a similar occasion. The following selection of sacred music was admirably executed, both the instrumental and vocal departments being well sustained by all the ,performers :—Overture, Handel ; Full Piece, Han del ; Te Deum, King; Grand Jubilate Chant, Jones; Ode, " Almighty Sire, our heavenly King," Calcott ; Anthem, " Let there be light, the Almighty spoke," Mozart; Halle lujah Chorus, Handel; and Coronation Anthem, Handel. After the service, the Brethren forrned in the same order and returned to the Town Hall, where the business of Masonry was resumed, and the Prov. Grand Master delivered a most eloquent anti forcible address to the Brethren, remarking . on the prosperity of the Society, n od d ra win g th e ir attention to several occurrences in the past year, highly gratifying to the Members and important to the Order. Ile then appointed his Prov. Grand • Officers for the ensuing year, viz.:— Prov. Sen. Grand Warden - Br. Warry ofSherborne. Prov. Jun. Grand Warden - Br. Nicholetts of Bridport. Prov. Grand Chaplain - Br. the Pelt. G. T. Brice. Prov. Grand Treasurer - Br. Bower of \Veymout':. Prov. Sen. Grand Deacon - Br. James of Blandford. Prov. Jun. Grand Deacon - Br. Laurence of Weymouth. Resolutions of thanks were passed to the Prov. Grand Chap lain for his admirable discourse, accompanied with every ex pression of fraternal respect and esteem for the Reverend Bro ther Brice, who has filled that office five•and-twenty years ;—to the Rev. W. O. Bartlett, for his assistance in reading the Church Service—to the Corporation for the use of the Town Hall—and to the Musical Gentlemen and Brethren whO had contributed so much to the effect of the Meeting, by their admirable per formance in the Church. After the other duties of the Craft were gone through, the Lodge was closed, and the Brethren adjourned to the Antelope Hotel, where they partook of an excellent dinner provided by Brother Vie. After the cloth was removed, the health of his Majesty, George IV., the Grand Patron of the Order, was drank with enthusiasm, as was also that of his Royal Highness the Duke ofSussex, the M. W. Grand Master; his Royal Highness the Duke of York, and the other Members of the Royal Family, who are Masons. The health of the R. W. Prov. Grand Master was then pro posed by Br. ELLIOTT, the Dep. Prov. G.lll. in a short but energetic address, in which he adverted to the unwearied zeal and ability with which the Prov. G. M. devoted himself to every subject connected with the welfare and prosperity of Masonry in his province. The R. W. Prov. Grand Master, in returning thanks, assured them that he received the compliment which they had paid him with feelings of unaffected pleasure, and that it was to him the source of the highest gratification to meet them year after year, and to witness the cordiality and truly Masonic spirit which pervaded the Lodges under his superintendance, which he did not hesitate to say held forth a bright example to the fraternity in the surrounding counties, and excited in his mind feelings of pride and umningled satisfaction, when he found Brethren from those and other counties attending their Meet ings. He was sure that such visits were productive of mutual advantage, as they p:omoted a friendly rivalry, at the same time th th led to an acquaintance with each other, which was highly desirable, and tended to preserve a knowledge of their usages, and an uniformity of practice, with the importance of whiTh they must all he duly impressed. Ile assured them, end whilst he perceived the same zeal and energy, and the same desire to maintain the excellent-principles of the Order pure and unsullied, which he hal observed during the fifteen years he had filled the office of Grand Master of their Pro vince, he should omit nothing on his part which could contri bute to the welfare and bat interests of their Lodges, or which could express the fraternal regard he entertained for them col lectively and individually. The Pm.. Grand Master next gave " the memory of the " late pep. Prov. Grand Master, Br. Parr." In proposing this sentiment he observed, that though it might for the moment call their minds from the conviviality and hilarity of the meet ing, he had no doubt it would be received with sincere and un affected demonstrations of respectful and affectionate attach ment. They all participated in his feelings of regret for the -loss of theirlamented brother, and of obligation to him for his unwearied, his gentlemanly, and his effective attention to the duties of his office. If any man was entitled to the love and esteem of his brethren, it was their departed friend, and he was convinced that his memory would long be cherished amongst them with reverence and gratitude.—" The Memory of Brother Parr, the late Dep. Prov. Grand Master," was then drank in the most respectful silence. The Prov. Grand Master for Hampshire, Sir William Ch. de Crespigny ; the Dep. Prbv. Grand Master, Br. Atcheson ; and the Pray. Grand Officers by whom he was accompanied, were next given, and drank with warm expressions of cordiality and fraternal regard; for which Br. Atcheson returned thanks for himself and the other Prov. Grand Officers. The Prov. Grand Master then gave the health of the Dep. Prov. G. M., Br. Elliott which was drank with great applause, and Br. Elliott returned thanks in a speech expressive of his gratitude for the flattering attention paid him by his brethren, and his anxious desire to promote the welfare of Masonry, and to execute the duties of his office to the satisfaction of die Prov. Grand Master and of the brethren under his superintendence ; difficult as he was sensible the task must be, whilst the zeal, the abilities, and the exertions of their late Dep. Pros-. Grand Master were fresh in the recollection of all of them. " The Pro. Sen. and Jun. Grand Wardens," " the Prov. Grand Chaplain," " the other Prov. Grand Officers," and many other masonic toasts went round, and songs were sung, during the evening; and the Brethren separated at an early hour highly gratified, in having spent the day in that rational, friendly, and brotherly manner, which in all times has distin guished our ancient and honourable society. There is perhaps no part of England where the spirit of Ma sonry is preserved with greater zeal than in l)orsetshire, and it is worthy of remark, that the majority of the Lodges meet in Lodge Rooms of their own, dedicated solely to masonic purposes. The number of Masons in this Province is not great, perhaps not exceeding 200 subscribing Members of Lodges, but if they are not numerous, they are highly respectable, and have long ranked amongst the most able, zealous, and best informed Members of the Craft. We think they have done wisely in aiming at the attainment of masonic knowledge, rather than an overwhelming increase of numbers. It has enabled them to maintain a degree of respectability which has secured the permanent prosperity of their Lodges, and obtained for them marks of consideration, which must not only have • been highly gratifying to them, but on many occasions the source of great and unexpected advantage to their Members. A circumstance is recorded in the Lodge of Amity at Poole, which, whilst it proves the esteem in which the Dorsetshire Masons are universally held, affords a pleasing and interesting illustration of the influence of masonic senti ment. In the winter of 1813, the brig Oak of Poole, Er. Stephen Pack, Master, and belonging to Bra. Ledgard and John Gosse, was captured on her passage from Bilboa to that port, by the French privateer Junon, of St. Haloes, commanded by Jacques de Bon, who, after treating the Master of his prize and the crew with every mark of kindness and fraternal regard, ge nerously returned him his vessel, and sent on board a dog, which had belonged to a mason, with a biscuit appended to his neck, signifying thereby that he would not keep even a brother's dog in bondage, nor suffer him to want bread. This biscuit was pre sented to the Lodge of Amity, and has been preserved by them in a glass case, as a memorial of their gratitude and brotherly ai fection for Jacques de Bon, in which we are sure every Mason will heartily participate. Many similar instances of disinterested generosity occurred during the late war, and in many instances were the wants and sufferings of Masons alleviated by their foreign brethren ; but we know not of any well attested case where personal advantage has been sacrificed to such an extent in favour of a Mason under the influence of the principles which are inculcated in our Lodges, and we think it cannot fail strongly to impress on the mind of the uninstructed world, that our ceremonies and usages are not empty forms, but that, under the veil ofour mysteries, there is something which teaches ths Mason to extend his hand to the relief of his necessitous brethren, and to feel in the approbation of his own mind and .the gratitude of a brother—an ample reward. MONUMENT"rO ADMIRAL RUSSEL. POOLE, AUG. 24.—A very Itandsorno Monu ment Las lately been erected in the Church of Canford Magna, to the memory of the late Admiral RussEL. It consists of a large tablet of statuary marble, surmounted by appropriate naval trophies, and underneath is the Admiral's coat of arms, with this motto, " Che sara, sara." The wlfole is plaCed on a dove-coloured ground, and the execution of it is highly creditable to the abilities of Mr. H. HARRIS, of this town. Sacred to the Memory of THOMAS MACNAMARA RUSSEL, Esquire, Admiral of the White, Late Commander-in-Chief In the North Seas. He actively served his Country seventy Years, With Ardour, Bravery, and Ability ; And combated her Enemies in Thirty-six Engagements. His most undaunted Spirit of Enterprize, During the first Revolutionary Wars of America and France, Was unrivalled. In 1784 he was offered the Honour of Knighthood, And, at the Close of his brilliant Career He received the warmest Acknowledgments from the Admiralty fur his superior Conduct as a Naval Chief, His successful Blockades of the Texel, During the threatened Invasion of our Shores, Was conducted on a new and admirable system of his own ; He was the first Who had ever dared to anchor a Fleet there, In the strongest Gales of a Northern Winter, And on an Enemy's Lee Shore ! Heligoland Surrendered to him, by which he secured invaluable Advantages to his Country. The magnanimous, intrepid, and generous Heart Of a British Seaman Was united in Him ' With the Urbanity of a Courtier. He departed this Life On the 22d Day of July, 1824, in his 85th Year. Elizabeth, his Wife, died • On the 2d Day of March, 18)8, in her fifith Year. This Tribute to departed inestimable Worth, Is affectionately inscribed by his Son-in-law, George Edward Paley, Lieut. R.N. lire cannot here omit paying a small tribute of respect to the affectionate regard of Lieutenant PALEY, in thus erecting a Monument to perpetuate the Memory of his GP t Father-in law. It is an act which does honour to his feelings; and whilst it will hand down the deeds of the Admiral for posterity to look up to and imitate, they will also admire the affection which ac tuated the Son-in-law. Sc. PETERSBURGII, AUG. 6.—On the 29tli of last month the first stone was laid of the new magazine, which is to be built by his Majesty's command in the square of the Exchange. It is to be 96 fathoms in length, 12 in breadth, and as many in height, and will be raised so high that the goods deposited will not be reached by the water, however the rivers may rise.-Accounts from Feodosia state that a ship had ar rived there from Redut-Kale, in Mingrelia, laden with tobacco, walnuts, walnut-tree plants, and other articles, which is a proof' of the intercourse between Mingrelia and the coast of Natolia, and shows, too, that from the moderate duties commerce hegira to turn towards ,Mingrelia, which country will become in time a staple for the trade, not only with Georgia and Persia, but with the South of Russia. Supplies of corn continue to arrive at Feodosia, both by land and by the sea of Asof. The harvest in general had suffered but little from the locusts. CONVEYANCE IN BRITAIN.—The rapidity with which intelligence and passengers are co; and communi cations accelerated, in this country, has become very remark able. Thus, from o ur p resen t ma il a r ra ng e m e nts, the pales and letters whi c h l e ft L on d on l ast S atur d ay eve ning, at 8 r. 31. reached this city at a quarter past •5 r. M. last night, or in 454 hours. After a stoppage of 5 hours here, during which the public news are printed, and the private communicato answered if necessary, these leave this at half-past 10 last night, reach Edinburgh about four this morning, stop there four hours (till BA. .m.) and then proceed to London, 'which they reach before 6 A.M. on Thursday morning, return ing to the metropolis in four days and ten hours. The distarce run is 838 miles in 105 i hours, including the time necessa y Ibr ordinary stoppages, for refreshments, giving out and taking in mails, and also nine hours of extra stoppages, for the pur pose of commercial business anti other matters. The rate at which the above distance is run a little under nine miles en hour, including all the ordinary stoppages; but, exclusive of these, at the rate of 9.i miles per how.—(Glusgow Aug. 23.)
