EXECUTIO OF PATRICK GRACE AT nATHCANNON. This unfortunate man, who had lattia convict ed on Friday last of the balbarous murder of 'Richard Chadwick, Esq., was on Monday, at an early hour, (five o'clock) in the morning, led from Clonmel jail, and bound upon a Voitirnon car, which was to convey him to the place des-, tined for his execution. The car to which he was. tied was encircled by a number of the • po lice, and a company of the 58th regiment, now stationed in Clonmel—in front was placed the materials of the platform on which Grace was to be executed, and at the rear was the hangman, surrounded by a • party of police. The entire procession then set forward, and although the, hour was so early when it set out, it was met on the road by a number of people, and gentlemen on horseback. The attention of the criminal was not, however, for one moment diverted from the exhortations of the Clergyman, (the Rev. Etl ward Brennan) by whom he was accompanied. At a quarter - to three o'clock the Melancholy. procession reached Rathcannon. When Grate came to the place where Mr. Chadwick had been assassinated, a halt for about five minutes was made, and a gentleman, who was near Grace, said; " there is the spot—the fatal spot." Grace heard him, but •anxious . to . detach himself from all worldly recollections, he , moved his • band, as if desirous that his devotions should not b e intruded upon. When the party had arrived at the place of execution, and while the platform was preparing, Grace sent for his brothers, and after embracing them, he exhorted them not to entertain malice on his account to any one, he besought them to be quiet, peace 7 able, and well-conducted. After spending some time in prayer with the Clergyman, he ascended the drop, and the rope having been fastened round his neck, he addressed the assembled mul titude in a strong and unfeitering voice. A few minutes having been given to devotion, the miserable man wg.'.'s turned of, and after a short struggle exp':fed. While the unfortunate Grace was hanP; mg , his three children knelt down at the foot `...)1 the gallows, where they continued pray ing as long as the b o dy was sus p en d e d. . The brothers had made a request of the Sub- Sheriff (Mr. Duckett) that they might have the melancholy consolation of taking down the body of their miserable relative—the request was humanely complied with by Mr. Duckett, and when the brothers had the body in their arms, one of them buist into tears, and exclaimed, " Oh ! ger:lien - m*l;as I have him now in my arms, (lon% separate us, and let me bury him." ibe body was taken and placed on the car in which Grace had come from Clonmel, and led off under a strong escort to Cashel Infirmary.— The assembled crowd of people then dispersed, deeply impressed with the awful scene which they had just witnessed.—Dublin Evening Mail. THE WIFE OF TWO HUSBANDS. The following singular account of the funeral of a celebrated beauty, in her day, who was called Kate Cannon, at which the chief mourners were her two husbands, is taken from an English Newspaper for the year 1752. It is in a letter from the mayor of Colchester, dated August 15, 1752 :---- " Perhaps you have heard that a chest was seized by our Custom-house officers, which was landed near this place a fortnight ago. They took it for smuggled goods, though the person who brought it produced the King of France's signature to Mr. Williams, Harnhurgh merchant. Our - 'Custom's people, not satisfied with Mr.. Williams's account, opened the chest, and one of them was going to run his hanger into it when the gentleman to whom it belonged clapped his hand upon his sword, and desired him, in French, to desist, for it was the corpse of his dear-wife. Not content with this, the officers plucked., off the embalming, and found it as he had said. The gentleman, who appeared a per son of consequence, was in the utmost agonies, while they made a speCtacle of the lady, who was placed in the church, where any body might come and look at her; nor would they suffer him to bury. her until lie gave a further account of him self. There were other chests of fine clothes, ewels, &c. helOnging to the deceased. He ac knowledged, at last, that he was a person of qua lity, and his name not Williams ; that he was born in Florence, and that the lady was a native of England, whom lie married, and she desired to be buried in Essex ; that he had brought her from Verona, in Italy, to France, by land—then hired a vessel for Dover, discharged her there, and took another for Harwich, but was driven hither by contrary winds. This account did not satisfy the people ; he must tell his name and condition, in order to clear himself of a suspi cion of murder. He was continually in tears, and had a key of the vestry, where he constantly sat with the corpse. He talked both Latin and French, and finding a gentleman to converse with him in these languages, he (to his great surprise) told him who the lady was, which, proving to be a person he knew, he could not help uncovering the face. In abort, the gentle man confessed that he was the Earl of Rose berry's eldest son, Lord Dalinany ; that he was born and educated in Italy, and never was in England till two or three years ago, when lie fell passionately in love with this lady, in Lon don, and prevailed on her to quit the kingdom, and marry him ; that, having bad health, he had travelled with her all over Europe : and, when she was dying, she asked for pen and paper, and wrote, lam the wife of the Rev. Mr. G---, Rector of Th—, in Essex ; my maiden name was C. Cannon, and my last request is to be buried at Th---. " The poor gentleman, who last married her, protests he never knew, until this confession on her death-bed, that she was the wife of another person ; but in compliance with her desire, he brought her over, and should have buried her at Th—, if the corpse had not been stopped, without making any stir about it. After the Nobleman had made this confession, they sent to the Rev. Mr. G., who put himself first into a passion, and threatened to run her last husband through the body. However, he was prevailed on to be calm ; it was represented to him, that this gentleman had been at great expence and trouble to fulfil her desire, and Mr. G. at length consented to see him. The meeting was very moving, and they addressed each other civilly. The stranger protested that his affection to the lady Wag so strong, that it was his earnest wish, not onl y to attend her to the grave, but to he shut up for ever with her there. He had a very handsome coffin made for her, with six large silver plates,Overit ;, and, at last, was very loth to part with her to_ have her buried. He put himself in the deepest mourning, and, on Sunday last, in a coach, attended the corpse to Th---- where Mr. G. met it, in like manner. After the funeral, Mr. G. attended him to London, where they parted very civilly. rottIGN INTELLIGENCE. ,-* FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Monaeur of Aug. 25; ) (PRIVATE CV.R,R§Pdi'MENeE.) " AUDI:OI4 Abu. 166-;.--the state of Catalonia be comes every day more alarming. The insurrection ktends in the districts of Gironna, Vich, Olot, Manresa, and part of that of Urge]. When the rebels enter a village or town, some of the Royalist iVolunteers join them, and they Carry off the arms of those who refuse to become their auxiliaries. Though at present they atit only in small detach ments) a kind of connexion is observed in their operations. The Jep dell Elangs, otherwise Lieu tenant-Colonel Bosom, calls himself Commandant- General .of theons. Royalist divisions. Ile has appointed one Gonzales intendant of his troops; he creates colonels hnd other officers; and it is said that he has himself taken the insignia of Captain-General. , . The ;insurgents have shown,much resolution in one of the : actions that have taken place. In one of their ex peditions they made prisoner a post-master, whom 'they et first thought of retaining as a hostage, but they afterwards released him in consideration of his great, age. It is reported that the Viscountess de Reiset, returning to France with an escort of 16 gendarmes, met one of these bands, Which suffered her to pass unmolested. " The Government has ordered the Captain-Ge neral of the Balearic Islands to send to Catalonia a battalion which is in garrison in Majorca. Some troops have also marched from Granada, but it is thought they will stop at Valencia. " The Colombian privateers have made some more prizes. A s ingular scene occurred three days ago. The widows of officers and others had been summoned o the Treasury to receive a part of the arrears of their pensions. Just as the money was going to be paid to them, the treasurer received a Royal order, :enjoining him to deliver, to the bearer all the funds that he might have in his hands. He was therefore ;obliged, to dismiss the unfortunate women; and his . explanations and promises could not check the tu multuous expression of the most violent discontent. " AUGUST 18.—The Gazette of to-day, publishes ,the Royal Decree addressed to the Minisier - of Grace `and Justice, which suppresses the office of Superin: tendant of the Police. The decree states, that the ,police being the most expensive of all the branches of the administration, his Majesty thinks fit to incor porate it with the department . of Grace and Justice. A second decree of the 14th, published in the Ga zette, regulates the new form of the police. " The progreis of the insurrection in Catalonia has at length induced the government to adopt more vigorous measures. Orders have been given to as semble an army of 8,000 men in that province, con sisting of militia and troops of the line; in conse quence,' all the regiments that can be spared have been drawn from the different garrisons and sent to that province. The greatest difficulty is to find funds to meet the expences of this armament. It is resolved that the army on the Tagus shall 'remain entire, in the positions which it now occupies. " LISBON, AUG. B.—Austria having formally ex pressed to our Government the intention to place Don Miguel at the head of the Regency, the Mini sters and Functionaries tnet several times to consi der what it would be proper to do. We learn to day that the project of the Cabinet of Vienna has received' their .approbation. It has been decided that that Prince should have the right to claim the reins of Government when he has attained his 25th (The Gazette de France, dated Sunday, Aug. 26, repeats the above article from the Moniteur, but has otherwise no news.) (From the Journal des DeLats.) " PARIS, AUG. 24.—The ci-devant King of Swe den, Colonel Gustayson, who has declared that he does not wish to live except under the dominion of the Sultan of Constantinople, has at length received his passports for Turkey, both from Austria and the Porte. He has not, however, yet quitted his resi dence, where he lives in a state of extreme seclusion, because he wishes to travel by the way of Vienna. and Semlin, while his Austrian passport prescribes the route of Trieste. (From the Con,iittit;wmrl). " VIENNA, AUG. 11.—The last letters from Con stantinople, dated July 26, bring no intelligence of importance. The organization and instruction of new troops continues uninterruptedly. The gun boats belonging to the arsenal manceuvre three times a week before the summer residence of the Sultan, and a complete reform of the artillery corps is said to be in contemplation. A part of this corps is already put in a new uniform, the principal ornament of which is a cap of the shape of a melon. Of the barracks which were ordered to be built last year, two are finished, the great barrack of Saud-pacha, and the little one for cavalry on the heights of Dolmagdshe. The building of those at Ramis-pacha, Scutari, and Itchengelkoj, is going on with great activity. A new barrack is also being erected in the interior of the Seraglio. It is destined for Bostangis, and is to be finished before the Sultan returns to his winter quarters. BARCELONA, AUGUST 17.—(Private Correspon dence.)—A detachment of cavalry, consisting of 20 men, commanded by a Captain, who were going to Vich with a detachment of foot, were attacked by the band of Caragol on the Congost, on the road to Vich. The Captain and one foot soldier were killed, two others were wounded, and a drummer was taken prisoner by the rebels. In consequence of losing their commander, the detachment was forced to re trograde, and has arrived at St. Andre de Palomar, where one of the two wounded men is dead. Of the 400 men of the 9th regiment of the line, which landed at Mataso on the 10th inst. from Ma jorca, a great number have already deserted. A band of 400 men is now at Ripol, and arms of every species are repairing and making in great haste. Caragol was yesterday, with a very considerable ►orce, in the neighbourhood of Tarrasa and Sabadell. It is apprehended, that he will pillage the manufac tories of these two towns. The day before yesterday, Jep dels Estangs was at Capdevanot with 300 men. Villela is still at Olot. Ballaster is in the neighbourhood of Blanes. At Moya and Castelbersol persons suspected of li beral opinions have had their houses pillaged. At Abisbal persecutions have been renewed. It is, however, worth knowing, that the rebels cannot want money for their expellees, even if they do not have recourse to pillage. Very few carriages, couriers, or coaches, have as yet been robbed by the rebels, the chiefs of which, however, have had the audacity to write to the magistrates, to inform them that individuals may travel alone, without the chance of being molested. Don Joseph Voltas, Commandant of the first battalion of the 3d Regiment of Light Infantry,who met on the 27th of last month with the band of Don Narciso Abnes, surnamed Pixola, at Eiparra, seeing that lie had nothing to gain, and much to lose, in opposing the rebels, asked that they would appoint him to instruct the recruits. General Manso, under the pretext of rendering a verbal account to the Captain-General of the events which have lately taken place on the side of Man resa, has arrived at Barcelona. General Curatela has requested permission to return to the same place. General Romagoso is about to return to Mataroso, and it appears that he has no great desire for another campaign against the rebels ; all the of ficers, in fact, seem to have come to an agreement amongst themselves to escape from answering the Government's call ; they arc all afraid of compro mising their interest or their person s . Th e nu mber families who are quitting the small villages appears incredible; all go to Figueras, Gironne, and Barce lona; so that all those, whether Nimes or ncgros, who have any thing to lose in the confusion, seek a place of refuge in order to escape from vexations. — In consequence of this proceeding, the population of Barcelona has increased very much. It is now more than 160,000, among which number 30,000 are re i,fugees. The rent of houses has risen a full third. *On r:isftwXA • • k/ , LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 2S, 1827. Mr. HusKissoN arrived at his house, in Somerset-place, this afternoon, at half-past one o'clock, soon after which, he was visited by the Right Honourable CHARLES GRANT and Mr. BACKHOUSE. It is expected that a Cabinet Council will be held to-morrow. We received last night the Paris Papers of Saturday, and the Gazette de France dated Sunday morning. The latter copies from the Moniteur two articles of considerable interest. The first a private letter from Madrid, dated the 13th Augtr.it, which deseribcs the state of Cata lonia as most alarming to the Government of FERDINAND ; the insurrection every day ex tends itself, and the proceedings of the rebels are assuming a degree of system which shows how widely and deeply the infection has spread. A self constituted Captain-General has assumed the command of the insurgents, and confers ap pointments and honours. Troops from the Balearic Islands, and others from the interior, have been ordered to Catatonia, but it is ques tionable, whether the want of funds to equip and pay the ❑ecessary expellees of those troops will not prevent their march into that province. In the mean tune the army of Observation on the Tagus is to remain in fa force. The other article from the Moulteur is one of old date, but contains information of the highest importance, if it be authentic. It is dated Lisbon, the Bth instant, and states dis tinctly that Austria having formally expressed to the Portuguese Government her intention to place DON MIGUEL at the head of the Regency, the Ministers and Functionaries, after several deliberations, have approved the project of the Court of Vienna, and decided that the Prince should have a right to claim the reins of Govern ment when he has attained his 25th year. This is what we have always expected, and if the fact should turn out to be as stated the fate of Portugal is sealed ; • the opportunity which her people have possessed of emancipating them selves from foreign influence, and the slavery of the ancient system, is lost perhaps for ever. Great Britain, however, will have the gratifica tion of reflecting that she held out her arm to offer her ally the means of obtaining a rational Government, and if the nation has not obtained such a Government it is evident that they are not fit for, and not deserving of, freedom. The French Funds have slightly declined, having left off on Saturday—the 5 per Cents. at 103 f. 80e., and the 3 per Cents. at 72f. 65c. Extracts of the Papers are given in another column. The Countess of Chichester and Kingfisher packets have arrived, with South American mails. The former sailed from Rio de Janeiro on the 6th of July, from Bahia on the 14th, and from Pernambuco on the 20th. The latter sailed from Buenos Ayres on the 14th of June, from Monte Video on the 17th of that month, and from Rio de Janeiro on the 29th. By this opportunity we have received the Mario Fluminensc, to 6th July, from which the following extracts are taken. The papers do not make any mention of the war with Buenos Ayres, nor of any f urt h er steps being taken with respect to the lon g talked of visit of the Emperor Don PEDRO to Portugal. MONTE VIDEO, JUNE We learn from Maldonado that our troops, who have their head-quarters at Ponte de l'Est well fortified, go in and out of the town at pleasure, without finding any one to oppose them ; that they have abundance of cattle ; that among those who have come over to us are two officers; that our guerillas have been as far as the Poro de St. Carlos, and taken prisoner a Lieut. -Colonel, of 1314n0s Ayres, named Escobar. The discontent of the Orientals increases, especially since they hare heard that Admiral Brown has quitted the navy of that republic; and for this reason some English men, knowing the instability of• that government, have come over to our squadron with a lugger, with two 24- pounders, and one 12-pounder, and a crew of 24 men, with the commander, who was a Lieutetaut. The Rape . dal Admiral ordered the whole to be valued and the amount to be paid to the persons _who brought it. Those people say that the government owed six months pay. RIO DE JANEIRO, JULY 2. A gun-boat of Buenos Ayres, ordered to the Rio Salado, has delivered itself up to us. It had one gun (a twenty four pounder) and a crew of 25 Englishmen, including the Commander. They say that Brown had really asked for his discharge, but the result was not known; he did not leave his house, and was ill. • By private accounts received from South Ame !rice, by the packets, we learn that the war still continued between the two Governments ; at Buenos Ayres they were unacquainted with the return of M. GA RCIA to the River Plate ; and, at Rio de Janeiro, they were in anxious expecta tion of learning the result of his mission, as he landed at Monte Video on the 18th June, and hopes were entertained that peace would be the ultimate result of the negotiation then pending ; in the mean time the trade of the Brazilian Empire was suffering severely from the activity of the nu merous Buenos Ayres' cruizers, who were reaping a rich harvest from the small coasting vessels. Trade at Rio de Janeiro, remained in a very dull state, although some of the Spaniards had reached that place from Monte Video to purchase goods ; :and, until something decisive was known, little . or no business could be expected. The ex change was a trifle higher on England, viz. 38d. to 38id. per milrea. In the Northern Provinces they were in anxious expectation of learning some information on the subject of peace. The exchange at PernaMbucowas 49d. to -50 d. per milrea. Admiral BROWN sailed from Buenos Ayres down the river with the fleet, consisting of eleven vessels, chiefly small, on the evening of the 9th June, supposed to be with the intention of meeting with and pro tecting the vessels some time since captured from the Brazilians, which will, if they contrive to get them in safely, be a considerable strength to their present force, and were daily expected to arrive in the river Plate. The two packets, the Sheldrake, from Buenos Ayres, the other the Marchioness of Salisbury, had not arrived ; the former sailed from Rio Janeiro on the 28th June, the Marchioness of Salisbury had arrived from Rio on the 9th at Bahia, and sailed from the latter port for Per nambuco and Falmouth ; consequently, they may • be expected every hour. The privateers of Buenos Ayres captured in June two British vessels, bound from London to Rio de Janeiro. The name of one is then Miskisson, the other the Commerce. It is.supposed these two vessels were loaded with arms and the munitions of war, which led to the capture. The private letters which we have seen, do not . throw any light on the departure of DON PEDRO for Lisbon, or, in fact, mention the probability of this event taking place at all. Since writing the above, our City Cor respondent acquaints us, it is reported that other private letters mention that the Peace between the two countries has been ratified ; and it is said that Don PEDRO is to marry a Bava rian Princess. The_ following is an extract of a letter received at the North and South American Coffee-house, from Buenos Ayres, dated June 12 : " I have little to communicate in addition to my letter per the She/drake. Vessels continue to arrive here. Brown, in his schooners of war, during the calm weather, which prevailed last week, made many efforts to bring the block ading squadron again to action, but they always avoided him. We have not seen or heard of his little squadron since Saturday evening, the 9th of June, at which time with seven echoonere and one small brig, he was steering in the direction of the Brazilians, some of his schooners using- sweeps. A smart cannonade was heard that night, and the morning of the 11th. On the 11th the blockading squadron was seen about 15 miles from the town at anchor; consisting of the Carioca, 32 guns, Liberal, 22, brigs Peraja, 18 guns, and the Twenty-ninth of August, IS, with three large schooners. It is supposed Brown has anchored near Ensinada, or gone to the Salado to wait for the squadron from Patagonia, now hourly ex pected. That squadron consists of corvettes; Chaca buco, 24 guns, Stepania (lately captured from the Bra zilians), 22 guns, schooner brig Escudcro, 7 guns, and schooner Constantia, 7 guns. The absence of Brown renders us extremely anxious ; his little fleet in deep wa ter, and any thing of a breeze, might be literally run down by the Brazilian large vessels. " We are in expectation of various merchant vessels (Americans) front Rio Janeiro, Rloate Video, and other places. These Yankees (in enterprise) beat poor John Bull out of the field ; and I can 4ssnre you the natives pass not a few comments upon it. In spite of the price of gold and risk of exchange, the cargoes brought here have yielded a great profit, and considerable sums in dutiee to Government. The vessels are instantly purchased for privateers. Capel-court is not more prolific of on dits, had and good, than is Buenos Ayres at the present moment, each party having some particular purpose to forward. I sub join a list of arrivals and sailings at this port from April 22 to June 12 Aram 30.—Arrived the National schooner General .11fancilla, Brill, from a cruize. Mar 9.—Arrived the schooner privateer Sin Par, Tedblom, from a cruize, having made eight prizes, three of which were burned, and five arrived at the Salado. MAT 11.—Arrived the American brig Sylph, fromltio• MAT 20.—Arrived the British packet ShelaTraAe,.frorn Falmouth and Rio Janeiro. May 24.—Arrived the schooner Tandem, Adams, 'from Monte Video. MAY 25.—Arrived the brig Sicily, from Monte Video.. MAY 27.—Arrived the British packet, Kingfisher, Poore, frein Falmouth, Rio Janeiro, and Monte Video. JUNE 7.—Arrived the British detained brig Florida, and her prize schooner of war Esperanga, frona - Eusinada. The Florida was taken possession of by Capt. Fournier, an officer in the Buenos Ayrean service, near Cape St. Mary's, on the 31st March, under pretext that she had been found fishing upon the prohibited waters of the Castillos. Captain Fournier armed her, took command, went on a cruize, and captured 13 vessels from the Brazilians. He had named the detained brig Revenge. 9th.—Arrived the brig St. Thomas, Saville, from Monte Video ; the privateer schooner Vengadora, Argen tina, Caya, from a cruize off the Brazil Coast, in which she captured 13 vessels of all classes; six of them were sunk, and seven sent to different ports. Sailed on the 7th June the British packet Sheldrake, Ede, for Monte Video, Rio Janeiro, and Falmouth. RIO DE JANEIRO, JUNE 27. The Admiral has despatched the Thetis frigate after the Huskisson, one of the captured vessels, to re-capture her, under the impression of the privateer having com mitted piracy, by breaking bulk, previous to her condemnation. The Commerce, captured, is stated to be from Liverpool, and not from London, bound to Rio Janeiro and the Pacific—the vessel of that name, from London, having arrived and landed her cargo. It is currently reported in the City, that the Treaty of Peace between Brazil and Buenos Ayres has already arrived at Rio de Janeiro ratified, the same having been con veyed by a French vessel of xvar which had arrived in 11 days from Rio Plata—it is also stated, that the town of Monte Video, the great bone of contention between the two parties, had been ceded to Brazil by the Buenos-Ayrians. The French vessel has, by other accounts, only brought the intelligence of M. Garcia's arrival at Monte Video on the 18th June, in his Majesty's ship Heron; and that time had nest - elapsed sufficient to have any answer. We have received this forenoon the Austrian ,Observer of the 16th inst. It contains no poli tical news. The intelligence of the death of Mr. CANNING reached Berlin on the 14th, and Vienna by Telegraph on the 15th. It was immediately afterwards ascertained that the, principles of Mr. CANNING'S' Govern ment were' to be adhered to by his suc cessor, and in consequence the public securities were but slightly . effected. Thus, it is evident that the public credit of other countries, as well as of our own, is considered to be most secure under the liberal system of which Mr. CANNING was the enlightened advocate. • VIENNA, AUG. 15. We have received by express the following important news from Paris, dated Aug. 9 : The telegraph has just brought the official news of the death of Mr. , Canning yesterday morning, at half-past three o'clock. ST. PETERSBURGH, AUG. Fl. On the Bth his Majesty, accompanied by Gen. Diehitsch, left Zarskojiselo for some days, to inspect the military colo nies in the Government of Novogorod. The Chevalier Gamba, author of the interesting Travels in the Provinces beyond Mount Caucasus, has returned to Tiflis, to resume his functions as French Consul. BERLIN, AVG. 18. The first news of the death of Mr. Canning Wail re ceived here at the Foreign Office, at 10 o'clock in the even ing of the 14th. Baron Von Werther, our Ambassador at Paris, sent it by a Russian courier to Frankfort, to the Post Master General, M. Von Nagler, who immediately dispatched two expresses, one to the King, at Toplits, the other to Berlin. As.early as 10 o'clock in the morning on the 15th, our merchants bad accounts from London of the 1 1 th, any .nouncing that the Canning administration would continue under Lord Goderich, for which season our exchange was but very slightly affected. COPENHAGEN, AUG. 18. By a ship from Iceland, we learn that the greater part of the island, especially the north and east coasts, bad been Surrounded fast spring, by an unusual quantity of Greenland floating ice, which produced very stormy, cold, and dry weather, by which all vegetation was checked. The fishery, however, has been very productive, especially in the south. Many persona, especially children, had beep carried off by a contagious fever. On the 13th of January there was an etuption Of a volcano, in the Skeidaraac Jockel, in the district of Ost•Skaptefjeld. STOCRHOLAI, AUG. rt. An English geologist, of the name of Blad, who lately arrived in Sweden, states that according to the examination that has been made, the coal mincs at lloganas are so abundant that they would supply Sweden with that article for several centuries. COPENHAGEN, AUG. 21. Three Russian brigs of war coming from the South anchored here on Saturday, and on Sunday another from the North. ASTRACHAN, JUNE 30. Our merchantmen are fully employed, not indeed in trade, but in consequence of the war with Persia, being engaged, with the ships of tha Crown, in conveying pro visions, &c. for the use of our troops. THE FUNDS-(THIS DAY). CITY, TwEirE 0' CLOCK. This morning and last evening the British Funds showed considerable elasticity, and there was every appearance of an increase, not only in the quantity of business but also in the price; the Brokers, hoiff ever, seem chiefly employed in making up their ac counts for to-morrow, and are rather fearful of entering into fresh transactions till the account day is over. Consols opened this morning at 87-k having been done in the alley, after hours of business yesterday, at 87k, buyers ; for a short time the former price was supported, but the market has eventually given way and they have receded to 86i 7 for money and to-morrow, and 87A for October. There is little variation in Ex chequer Bills, which' continue at 57 8, and India Bonds 87 9 pm. In the Foreign Securities little business has hitherto been effected, nor have the prices of yesterday much varied from those of to-day ; Brazilian arc a little higher, 66 7. The intelligence from this quarter is without that interest which was fully expected might have come to hand ; indeed, it is considered, that from the time of sailing from Rio, M. Garcia could not have ar rived, or scarcely so, in the River Plate. One account says, he had actually reached Monte Video, on the 18th June, consequently no reply could be received in answer. Matters therefore continued much in their former state ; the two powers mu tually weakening each other, and carrying on a destructive war against the mercantile shipping of the Brazilians. No intelligence has arrived of the movements in the Rio Grande between these hos tile parties, nor is any mention made in the private lettels of the reported departure from Rio de Janeiro of the Emperor Don Pedro for Lisbon. Mexican Bonds are 67k 68 ; Colombian 301 4. Shares are in the same torpid state. Real del Monte are quoted a little better, but we have not heard that any actual sales have been made. The public have got such a distaste for these speculations at to deter them from vesting any property in them. Three per Cent.

The ruffians who attacked the military at Tip perary on the 12th tilt. were tried at Clonmell on Thurs day last. The pretence of the riot was, that in the course of the morning of that evening in which it occurreil, the petals of a dismembered Orange lily had been thrown out of the barrack window. Au edifice, on a grand scale, is about to be erected in Liverpool, which is intended to compriEe a custom-house , excise, post, and stamp-offices,. together with a dock-office. In six years the building is to be finished, at a cost of 175,0001. of which Government has agreed to furnish 150,0001. There is probably no town in the empire where business is more prosperous than that of the town of Liverpool, which, as an emporium of commerce, is the second place in the kingdom. ,SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY•) FROM LLOYD'S DEAL, AUG. 27.-."Wi►►d E.N.E.—Remain, hia Majesty's ship Clarence. 5 p.m. the Dorothy Foster, Honey, from Jamaica, has just arrived.

Columbine had upon every occasion continued to manifest the same superior fast sailing that we have before alluded to, and so much so, that we believe there is no longer any difference oeopinion upon the subject: It is believed that there will be a change of Captains in the squadron. Wellesley and Warspite sailed yesterday for Lisbon. THE ARMY. GENERAL ORDER. Horse Guards, August 27, 1827.

An Account has been printed, by order of the House of Commons, of the quantities of articles on which Duties of Excise in Great Britain were paid in the years 1790 and 1826. The first article in the list is the amount of sales of estates (by auction) charged with duties in the two years. In 1790, it W.lB 1,561,2051. 4s. 7d. ; in 1826, it was 3,218,2651. 149. Of furniture, in the first year, 1,046,5011. ; •in the last, 2,898,901/. 17s. Bd. The quantity of strong beer which his paid duty has increased—from 1,568,594 to 6,802,232 barrels. Table beer has increased three-fold ; hut, on the other hand, small beer, at least beer which is small in the eyes of the Excise, has become extinct. If we compare the table and small beer of 1790 with the table beer of 1826, there is a decrease from I 9i to 18i hundred thousand barrels. Malt has increased from 24,721,784 to 30,062,352 busbels. Home spiiits, from 4,423,876 to 7,398,549 gallons. Printed calicoes, from 14,492,459 to 95,336,387 yards. Soap, from 42 to 96 millions lbs. The same comparison can only be made for Ireland on two articles—spirits, which have doubled in quantity, in• creasing from 3,438,079 to 6,837,408 gallons; and malt, which has decreased almost to a half, froro 4,697,200 to 2,400,066 Irish bushels. The amount of sales of estates charged with duties in Ireland in 1826, was only 73,5101.35. 4d. ; of furniture 186,6731. 16s. Except the , artiele of spirits, the amount of goods charged with duties of Excise in Ireland is extremely small. The Duke of CLARENCE left his seat in Busby Park yesterday for Windsor, where a grand dinner was given yesterday to hie Royal Highness by the mayor and Corporation of that town - ) on the occasion of the Royal Duke accepting the office of High Steward of that borough, in the room of his Royal Highness's brother, the late Duke. of YORK. The Matquis of LANSDOWNE, and Mr. Wvtirr, visited Viscount GODERICH yesterday. Viscount DUDLEY came to town yesterday from the Royal Lodge in Windsor Park, where the Noble Viscount bad been on a visit to his Masmr : his Lord ship transacted business with the Baron de Oar°, the' Bavarian Minister, at the Foreign Office.

DOVER, AUG.27.—Arrived from Boulogne, the Britannia steam-packet, having on board the Right Honourable W. HusicissoN. He intends proceeding, this evening, for London. We were sorry to remark that Mr. HuexissoN looked very unwell when he landed. Lord CLANIMMIDE has left Dover in a post-chaise and four, with a messenger, prol)ally to announce the Right Honour able Gentleman's arrival. Prince LIEVEN entertained a distinguished party of Foreigners to dinner on Sunday, at Ashburnham house, Dover-street, among whom were—Prince ESTER' ItAZY and Prince LABANOF? DE ROSTOFF, Count D'OFA LIA, Count CAro D'lsram, the American Minister, Count LOTTEIM, &c. The Marquis of ANOLESEA is gone down into Staffordshire, on a visit to the Marchioness and the younger branches of his family. The Noble Marquis is expected to return to town this day, in order to be present at the Cabinet Council which will assemble immediately on the arrival of Mr. HusiassoN. The Dean of YORK has resolved immediately to take down the present Deanery, and other adjoining buildings, and to erect on the site of them a grammar school or college, at which youths may be educated suffici ently even for ordination for the Church, without any other p re paration.—Doncaster Gazette. On Thursday last, being the day of the funeral of the late deeply lamented Right lion. GEORGE Canrown , a muffled peal was rung upon the bells of St. Mary de . Crypt, in this city, as a token of respect to his memory.. Gloucester Journal. THE NEW GOVERNOR-GENERAL.—Lord WILLIAM BENTZ/WIC intends to make his appearance in India in a style of peculiar splendour. Three or !bur carriages of state are now building with all possible dispatch, which will be in unison, and in this respect the arrangement is judicious, for nothing produces such imposing awe in that Eastern clime as pageantry and show. SIR RICHARD SUTTON, BART. The Papers alluded to this unfortunate young gentleman's long confinement, from breaking one of his legs last year when hunting. The fact is, it was broken twice previously, and from the same cause. Happily be is now in a fair way. But what we wish to allude to, is the prodigious property he inherits from being heir to the Bath and Pulteney pro perties. Sir. Richard has the richest rent-roll in the king dom. Every body was surprised at his granting a lease of the ground on which Bath House stood, in Piccadilly, to Mr. Alexander Baring; but the fact is, he always intend ed, at the expiration of the Marquis of Cholniondeley's lease; to take possession of the mansion, formerly known by the name of Egremont House. Henrietta Maria, the relict of Charles 1., and• daughter of the illustrious Henry IV., King of France, wag' reduced to such a state of poverty, that she and her daughter, who was afterwards married to the brother o f Louis XIV., lay in bed several days, at Paris, for want of fire to warm them, in the month of January, 1649. Dr. Parr used at dinner parties, which he greatly enjoyed, to inquire carefully the names of those per sons present whom he had never previously met ; and it was his custom to be peculiarly attentive to all of them during the remainder of the day, and constautly addreall each individual by his name.
