WATILACT Or A LETTEE, DATED CIRACCAS, 31.11.71 Hi* " With this is sent a public paper, showing the necessity of the Liberator's prohibition of the abuse of the press, and not its use, as is crated in an Eng lish Evening Paper of the 28th of May. This mea sure has been perhaps the salvation of Venezuela from violent re-actions, and consequently from all the evils of a civil war. No one can judge of these things, but persons acquainted with the real state of this country, and the character of its inhabitants. These constitutional doctrinaires in England should remember what Napoleon said of the same class in France—' that they caused his downfal, and with it the subjection of their country.' You must govern men as they are, and not as they should be. " It is delightful to find the cause of liberal prin ciples has at last triumphed in enlightened England ; and all trust here that Mr. Canning will justify the high expectations formed of him. The Liberator has written that he considers the composition of the British Ministry, with Mr. Canning at the head, as the consummation of England's renown, and as the fundamental hope of the liberal world ; that Mr. Canning is the protector of the rights of the two hemispheres, and in him is fulfilled the oracles of philosophy and of the Revolution.' This high opi nion of Mr. Canning, entertained by the greatest man of the New World, cannot be otherwise than gratifying to his feelings, as it is notorious that he expresseal it repeatedly before there ras any appa rent 'probability of seeing him at the head of affairs. " The mail from Bogota has just arrived here, bringing advices that the Congress has deferred the discussion of the Liberator's resignation till the 6th of June. The object of the faction is to prevent the Liberator having time to get up to Bogota to swear to the Constitution previously to the dissolution of Congress, a bill being shunt to be proposed which is to declare all authority illegal that has not obeyed this formula. In this' ease, - though the Congress should refuse the Liberator's resignation, the Vice- President would, de facto, be the real executive of the country—re proceeding that would ensure a dis memberment of Colombia as Venezuela would never submit to such en authority being so obtained.— Guayaqui 'aas opened her gates to General Busta manta and the mutineers from Peru; they, on the other hand, pretending to submit to the authority of its municipality ; but the municipalities whom they pretend to obey, are mere creatures of their will, and act solely under their orders. So long as these bodies are allowed to exist in America, so long there will be aec :thy, and revolutions on revolutions, insecurity to peace and property, &c.; for they are the tools with which the disaffected leaders work, to justify, illegally, but speciously, their conspiracies, machinations, and misdeeds. Fourteen years of re volution prove the truth of this assertion, and the more recent transactions in this country confirm it. The Lima mutiny is also another proof; and, in fact, every conspiracy that has been, or which can be formed, appears under the sanction of these gene rally too-corrupt and servile bodies. People must slot judge of.them as of the English Corporations : they differ lobo (eel° in their principles and practice. Peru, under the domination of its present governing faction, evidently wishes to dismember Colombia ; and there is no doubt of her intention to assist the mutineer monsters. The Liberator, on the news of these events, has been obliged to sacrifice all per sonal feeling at the shrine of the public safety and welfare. He remembers only that he is a Colom bian, and that he must place his greatest glory in devoting himself for the good of his country. In this moment he forgets the ingratitude, the malevo lence, and the perfidy which have assailed him so long individually. Bent only on the public pros perity, he has issued a proclamation, stating his in tentions to take upon himself the supreme command until the great National Convention shall be as sembled, into whose hands he will deliver up his constitutional authority, and that power which he possesses by the free will of the people. " This decree is considered here as the salvation of Colombia. As his former presence in Venezuela dispelled the fatal evils of the revolution, so will he again prove the pacificator of the south, and restore that tranquillity and happiness of which she has been deprived by the rebellion cf a few unnatural citizens. The soldiers, however, now misled, will never fire a shot against their beloved commander. They have been deluded by artifices, which all the letters from Lima prove, and where Vidaure has published a constitutional code, which may justly be termed the mockery of reason f whilst Bolivia, under the wise and prudent administration of the great Sucre, is marching with rapid strides towards her felicity, un disturbed by the fury and folly that are destroying her neighbours; but reactions are ready to b urst out in Peru, on the first favourable op ening, to p ut an end, it is to be hoped finally, to her agitations and distresses. _ _ _ " The Liberator will sail in a few days for Car thagens, in a British frigate. General Lara pro ceeded to-day to Maracaybo, with orders to General Urdanete to march with the battalions of Cacobobo, Vargas, and the squadron of Tulia, in all about 2,000 men, to the frontier of Venezuela, near Cucuta, and there await orders. General Paez is to proceed with 3,000 men to Varinas. The brave, able, and prudent General Salem is to embark for Carthagena with several companies of Junin, two of Callao, and four of Grenada,—in all about 900 men, to unite them with the battalions of Tiradores and Apure. General Bolivar will follow with the squadron of grenadiers of Junin and first of the Guard.

THE LATE EXPRESSION OF POPULAR tEEL ING-ITS CHARACTER-A ND PR'} ABLE RE- SULTF., E•, - 41'y tendency to riot ceased here on Satur day, as soon as it was known that a new Minister was installed in the War-office, that Count Flor had been appointed to command the troops at Lisbon, ant! that the Goverinnent .W i "d aet:eriiiined to pursue firm and decidedeojrea. The dis play of a itun'aituous spirit was never for a mo ment dangerous, and would not even have gone such lengths as it (lid, had the authorities for bidden it, or had the troops employed to check it not joined their vilY:'s 'cif the nitilti.; tilde: Nn eisard'ir committed, and even no violence was threatened, except in the case of the Intendant of Police. The patriots continued their nightly assemblages, because thee no sedition in shouting the name of an Ex- Minister,because by such a display of their attachment they foolishly imagined that they could promote his return to power--because they were taught to belie: e they had the secret sanction of the civil and military authorities in this singular mode of petitioning the Princess Regent in his favour—because they saw n o nr ec l a n tat ie n for bidding their anemblages—andbecauwe even the Gaiette, the organ of Government, supported their views and eulogised their conduct. As soon as the Minister of the Interior took the steps dictated by common Sense to terminate these meetings ? thiS people, always disposed to submit td &Lithority, implicitly obeyed. The order or the police forbidding persons to assemble in groups of more than eight or ten, is so reli giously observed, that the attraction of a fire or a puppet-show could scarcely now induce even a temporary breach of the law. The friends of Saldanha, and the politicians of the squares, have not the means of making their political senti ments known through legal public assemblies as in England, or even through saloons and con versational parties as in France. They must shout an innocent viva in the streets, in cases - where Englishmen would assemble to vote an address of congratulation ; and they must cry abaixo (or down with a measure or a man) in a public place, where Englishmen would as semble to petition and remonstrate. In sa loons or large social parties, where opinion is strengthened and concentrated, it is not the habit of the country to meet, as in France ; and the censorship stops the expression of their sen timents from the Press. Thus the whispers of a secret club, or the vociferations of a street as semblage are the only means left this quiet and orderly people of expressing a united political opinion, if that opinion happens to be against the ruling power of the moment. That the Constitutional mob of Lisbon had no other ob ject than to petition the Princess to reinstate Sal danha (however absurd their proceedings may appear), or that they are the meekest rioters in the world, is evident from the result. They had been three nights congregated in force without committing any act of violence, and they finally dispersed as soon as they perceived by the ap pointment of another Minister, and the applica tion of the flat side of a sabre to the backs of a few of their number, that any farther expression of their wishes was useless. The quarters of the English troops had double guards mounted on the nights of the disturbance. It may be difficult to estimate at present the ultimate effects of the late popular movement, tholigh the folly of provoking it at such a mo ment must be always admitted. Were the influ ence of the Holy Alliance and the interference of foreigners entirely out of the question, I should say that the result would be satisfactory, and the prospect encouraging. A very large portion of the people of Lisbon (for the late assemblages were no rabble) have testified that they take an interest in public affairs, that they can appreciate the conduct of a Minister, and that they are de cidedly in favour of constitutional freedom. I certainly was not prepared for such a display of spirit, which compelled the Government, as a means of security, to resort to the measure of appointing the popular nephew of the popular disgraced Minister, to supply his place (the Conde da Ponte being the nephew of Saldanha), and to put at the head of the troops of the capital the only Nobleman who has distinguished himself in the field during the late crisis. At the same time I am fully sensible, dist what the friends of the Charter may call a laudable display of spirit, will be interpreted jacobinism in the vocabulary of the Holy Alliance,—that the hasty attempt of the Princess Regent to repair her error, when she saw public. opinion against her, will be ascribed to the influence of a faction,—that the Princess herself will be described as too weak to govern the turbulent politicians of the Rocio,—atld that the despotism of Don Miguel will be prescribed as the only cure for the anarchy with which the country is threatened. This last consideration ought to have been before the eyes of her Royal Highness when she signed the decree for dismiss ing her late Minister, unless she is abSolutely re gardless of power, and wishes to pave the w as , for the accession of her brother. The party who has gained most in character during the late struggle is Saldanha himself.— No act of his administration became him so well as the last. His immediate retreat to the country was a step of great prudence and good sense. The only parties who hare unequivo cally lost by it are (singular union !) the Princess Regent and the editor of the Lisbon Gazette : the former has lost her popularity, and the latter his place. The Gazette till lately was in the hands of the apostolical party. When Saldanha obtained his late ascendancy in the Cabinet, he displaced the Corcunda writer, and gave the direction of that Journal to Senhor Jose Liberato de Carvalho, an ex-priest distin guished for his liberal sentiments. This gentle man had been in London before the revolution of 1820, and conducted in that capital a Por tuguese Paper (called the Campiclo), which being imported into Portugal, tended not a little to prepare the way for the events which followed. On the second election of the Cortes in 1822, he was chosen a member, and conti nued to act on the principles which he had hitherto professed. The restoration of absolute power in 1823 left him again in disgrace. He then retired to a life of privacy in the neigh bourhood of Coimbra, which he did not leave till the spring of the present year. Sal danha, b e i n g acquainted with his literary merits, and respecting the firmness of his political prin ciples, gave him, about three weeks ago, a place in the Foreign-office, and the direction of the Lisbon Gazette. Whether ho retains the former I know not, but his articles of Friday and Satur day last have deprived him of the latter. The Princess Regent has been advised to consider these articles of so much importance as to cause an explanatory circular to be addressed on the subject to all the Ambassadors accredited to her Court, and to older the unlucky right of a Cen sor who allowed them to pass to be reprimanded. Now this was very hard on the poor Censor, who had no more power t 6 clip out with his critical seisscra the obnoxious parts of these articles, than he had, like Mahomet, " to clip the moon in twain, and put the half of it in his sleeve ;" Senhor Jose Liberato having made it a condition of his taking the direction of the Ga zelle, that he should not be liable to the Cen sorsliip. - One very lamentable died. cannot, fail to r 6. suit from these transactions. The soldiers, whose obedience has been so often . shaken by their i • al legiance being so often chan g ed, flave again mitier g on e atiother experiment on their fidelity. On the first day, as I have mentioned, tlia 4ttz. diorities Were silent, and the troops, who came to check the riotous tendency of the multitude, fraternized with the friends of Saldanha, and echoed the aliouts of vivaa. . On the second .lay And,night, the same thing was repeated. The soldiers even appeared in the midst of the crowd, and gave the people the key-note of ap plauSe. On the third night they frnd every thing changed, and are desired to disperse, at the point of the bayonet, those very people whose feelings they had shared, and whose acclama tiOnS they had Swelled. The 16th Regiment, which has lately arrived from Tras-os-Montes, carried its feelings of regard for the ex-Minister so far as to insist on going to the Princess to represent the necessity of his reinstatement, and to offer to conduct him triumphantly from Cintra to the 'War-office. 'This dangerous proposal was only quashed by the good sense of the Colonel, who has great influence over the regiment. Yet this regiment was likewise called forth under Villa Flor, to act. against the professed organs of its own opinions. In consequence of his harsh conduct on the night of Friday, Count Villa Flor and some young noblemen have cancelled, in the opinion of the Constitutional party of Lisbon, a good deal of the obligation which their recent services created. The shopkeepers and respectable citi zens, who composed the greater part of the as semblage, can never forget that he called them a canalha, in commanding the troops to disperse it. Count Taipa, who rode in among them in plain clothes to scatter them with his whip, was happy to escape only with the name of Cor cunda. Of course Corcunda was, in such a crowd, the greatest term of reproach that could be employed. It was even so hateful and so dangerous, that a poor pickpocket, who, in the exercise of his calling, was seen filching a hand kerchief, and was maliciously pursued under the name of a Corcunda, was obliged to deny the charge, and declare that he was only a thief. TIPPERARY ASSIZES-CLONMEL, AUG. 17. As the trial of Grace, for the murder of Mr. Chadwick, was known to come on this day, the Court was crowded to excess at a very early hour, and at the time that the Hon. Judge BURTON ar rived (at half-past nine) every avenue leading to it was completely blocked up. Upon calling the names of the Jurors, the agent of the prisoner, Mr. GLEESON, challenged a great number of them. At length, as respectable a Jury as ever sat in Clonmel were impanelled, when— Patrick Grace was arraigned for the wilful murder of Richard Chadwick, Esq., on the 30th of June last. Philip Mara, a mason, examined by the Solicitor general—Witness lived in Holcroyd parish, and is by trade a mason; was employed by the late Mr. Chadwick, just before his death, to assist in builainig a barrack at Rathcannon on Saturday, the 30th June last, met him at Ratbcannon about eight o'clock in the morning, laid out the foundation of the house, and set about trelveFnen at work; some of the people employed were tenants of Mr. Sadleir ; between twelve and one o'clock, Neil Gleeson, and witness, went towards Holycross with Mr. Chad wick. Gleeson had gone about 85 yards when he was sent hack by Mr. Chadwick, who said he would agree with Gleeson for burning lime for the house. Mr. Chadwick then desired Neil to go back, as it was near one o'clock, and the men would be soon from dinuer ; Neil turned back in consequence— and Mr. Chadwick led his horse towards the cross of Bornacrusha, Mr. Chadwick being nearer to the left hand side the road, and witness close to him. After Neil left us, a man jumped out of the ditch about three yards before us with a gun in his hand, and desired us to give ourselves up; he kept the gun partly levelled towards us. He then turned himself more towards deceased, and said, " You rascal, give yourself up." I then said to Mr. C. give yourself up; and then stepping be tween them, raising my hands to the man's shoul ders, said, " Don't molest the gentleman, and whatever you want he will give you." That man had no disguise on his face ; I had a full opportunity of seeing him; I had seen him before and knew him well. Mr. Chadwick turned round—and as soon as he did I heard a shot ; then looked at Mr. Chadwick, and saw Mtn bleeding, and a man stand ing before him. Mr. Chadwick then said, " Oh, Mara, I'm killed," and I said, " I believe you are." The man was quite close to Mr. Chadwick—it was then I first perceived there were two men. When Mr. Chadwick said he was killed, I stooped and got out from between them—and instantly heard an other shot. When about five or six yards from them, I turned round, and saw Mr. Chadwick lying on the ground, the two men standing over him, and his horse Etauding near; I was much alarmed, and ran on to Bornacrusha, about 3 or 400 yards off, in a straight line, where there were a good many people, men, women, and children ; a woman asked me what was the matter, and I said Mr. Chadwick was shot I They did not go down ; I rather thought they went into their houses. I then went to the Rev. Mr. Lloyd's, and next to Captain Wilson's. — The witness proved that the prisoner was the per son who jumped out on Mr. Chadwick, and one of those who inflicted the mortal wounds. Sergeant Patrick Maher prov e d th e arrest o f the prisoner, and identified a pound note found upon him. James Roe, Esq., brother-in-law of the deceased, proved the indorsement of the deceased upon the bank note. Some witnesses swore to an alibi, and others swore that the prisoner was not one of the two persons that fired at Mr. Chadwick. The trial did not terminate till five o'clock in the evening, when the Jury retired for a quarter of an hour, and on their return into Court prono unce d t h e prisoner " Guilty." Immediately after the verdict of Guilty em emblem handed of d eat i h n — , his Lordship black eap— an d i n a Put on the most feeling and impressive manner pron ounce d t h e awful, appalling, and ignominious sentence—that he should be hanged on Monday, and his body given for dissection to the Surgeon of the County In firmary.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Quoiidieizne of Sunday.) PARIS, AUG. 19.—Some time ago the whole of the public papers discoursed of nothing but the Treaty concluded by the Great Powers for the Emancipation of Greece. Now-a-days we hear no more of it. The death of Ml. Canning has absorbed the attention of the whole of the journals . . Tit; if ever a diplomatic queition required a more prompt arid iMperative decision 4 it was evidently that of Greece. After the publicity given tb.s. Treaty by tnc Times, and all the Journals of Europe, it Wag essential to prevent the natural re-action which such Rii ai';'t inudf. produce. The answer of the Divan . . called also for some exphination on the part of the United Cabinets, for we cannot so coriiider the diatribes in the Times against M. de Metternich, and a few timid remarks in the Moniteur which, in the delicate situation of our Cabinet, could only explain its meaning by halves. Yet nothing has been done. The Treaty Once so alarmingly pals tbe question has been left in the same place as it was before, that is to say, no active measures have been taken. The fleets of Egypt are advanc ing towards Greece. In a short time the forces of the Pacha will second the already victorious forces of the Turks. The succour to be given from Europe appears to us, therefore, very tardy in its character. The Russian squadron, diminished by five vessels, will not arrive in the Mediterranean until the approach of the wintering season, and we know not what are the instructions of the armaments of Great Britain and France. The question of Greece was of a nature to demand rather action than words, and Mr. Canning must have examined the case very slightly if he saw not at the bottom of this question any thing but a little popularity to be gained. A treaty, and especially a treaty published, may be a fatal blow to Greece. It may hasten the destruction of the Hellenists—of a Christian people —and that is what ought to have been provided against. Doubtless due reflection ought to have been exercised previous to signing a treaty, which was so intimately connected with the interests of France in the Levant, and might bring difficulties innumerable upon the diplomacy of Europe; but the conditions once agreed on, and the principles adopted, every description of delay ought co have been rejected, and active measures should have been taken to serve the cause whose defence bad been undertaken. (From the Gazette de France, dated Monday.? "PARIS, AUG. 19.—The Courrier Francair, an nouncing that Colonel Gordon, who is on his way from Greece to Scotland, has passed through Paris, adds, that that officer is reported to have . given some very unsatisfactory news respecting the affairs of Greece, and particularly respecting the feelings of the Greeks, who arc discouraged. We can make the Courrier Francais, and all the friends of Greece, easy on this head. The news of the Treaty of In tervention, which is at this time confirmed by all the ratifications, ',las, on the contrary, restored courage and hope to the Greeks ; the troops of Ibrahim and the Turkish army no longer undertake any operations. The Courrier Francais mentions honourable docu ments delivered to Colonel Gordon by the Greek Government; they are dated the 25th of February and the 9th of April. Perhaps he left Greece at a time when the treaty was not yet known there. " A report is spread that the Gazette of Augs burgh (the Allgemcine Zeitung) has ceased to ap pear.

We copy the following remarks, on the affect which the course of Exchange on Paris has on the transmission of the precious metals, from the Times of this morning : Perhaps at the present moment, when the mer cantile world is in a state of some anxiety respecting the rise or fall in the exchanges, and the operations in the precious metals consequent thereon, the fol lowing remarks may not be without interest. For many months past the price of standard gold has not varied from 775. 6d. per ounce, being 4id. per ounce lower than what is termed the Mint price, and the rate of the foreign exchanges generally has been such that no advantage could be derived from the export of it. I will take Paris as a criterion, because the facility and quickness of the export of gold to that capital, and the ease with which it can be forwarded from thence to any part of the Continent, renders it in a manner a general guide. The exchange for bills, at short date, on Paris, has been for some time past at the rate of 25f. 35c. to 40c. per 11. sterling ; and within the last week has fallen to 25f. 25c. to 30c. per 1/. sterling, being a decline of rather less than per cent. The price of gold has in consequence advanced from 775. 6d. to. 775. 9d. per oz. lam very far from regretting that public notice should have been called to the circumstance, because an attention to this point may be one of the best means of preventing a recurrence of those periods of dis tress in the mercantile world, which in most cases arise from an excess of confidence, and its consequent accompaniment, over-speculation ; but it is one thing to be on the qui vivo, and another to be frightened, before there is any appearance of danger. Taking the price of gold at 775. 9d. per oz., the rate , of exchange at which it would make a remit tance to Paris would be 2M. 18c. per 11. sterling; and from this is to be deducted the expenses of trans port, which even on large amounts cannot be esti mated at less than per cent., without any allowance for the risk either by land or water • on the other hand, the agio, or bonus given on gold in Paris, ac cording as it may be more or less abundant, is to be added; but this very rarely, excepting in moments of extraordinary panic, exceeds sf. per 1,000 f., or per cent.; the account would therefore stand thus : A remittance to Paris in gold at 775. 9d. per f. C. or. would bring out the exchange at Deduct expences, 3- per cent. 25 06 0 06 Acid, agio in Paris, k per cent ...... Net 25 12 Now I would ask, who, as an operation of profit, would send gold over to Paris to produce a r ate of exchange of 25f. 12c. per pound sterling, while they can obtain good short bills on the Royal Exchange at 2M. 25c. per pound sterling, without the risk and loss of time attendant on the transport of specie ? I admit that were the rate of gold to advance beyond the Mint price, of 775. 10id. per oz., and j the ex changes continue to fall, there might be just fears entertained of an advantage arising from the export of the circulating medium; but it does not appear to me that the slightest apprehension can be enter tained of such a state of things occurring in the pre sent position of commerce generally, whichis essen tially different from the periods in which events of this nature have happened : the price of mercantile commodities, or objects of general commerce, show no dispositio n to advance to a price which would invite importation and check exportation (for this, after all, is the main point to be considered); and while this is the case, I really can see no reason why a panic should exist, which appears to me to have no foundation whatever, and which seems to arise only from temporary causes, to which commerce in the most flourishing periods is always liable, and which bring their own remedy as a matter of course. rib r 1 ;;; .: 4 :0 651134, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 22, 1827. A Messenger was sent off last night with further despatches addressed to Mr. HUSKISSON. No advices hNe been received from that Right Hon. Gentleman since the intelligence of the death of Mr. CANNING was transmitted to him by a special messenger, and therefore all the re ports which are in circulation respecting his in. tensions to return immediately to this country, are founded on conjecture. The return of the first messenger, who proceeded to Mr. HUS KISSON, is momentarily looked for. We received last night the Paris Papers of Sunday (with the exception of the Moniteur) and the Gazette de France, dated Monday morning. The latter, referring to a statement made by the Courier Francais, that Colonel GORDON, in passing through Paris, in his way to Scotland, had given some very unfavourable news respecting the affairs of Greece, states, that so far from this being the case, the news of the Treaty of Intervention has, on the contrary, restored courage and hope to the Greeks, while the troops of IBRAHIM and the Turkish Army are able no longer to undertake any operations. It mentions also that the Italian Journals an nounce a general insurrection of the warlike tribes of Epirus ; and that the Turks, harrassed by the Klephtes, do not venture to quit the for tified towns. If the promised intervention of the Allied Powers in behalf of unfortunate Greece has already produced these effects, a few short months only will pass away before her reviving energies will emancipate her entirely from the oppressions of the ruthless barbarians under which she ha so long groaned. There is little else worth noticing in these Papers.— The Constitutionnel refers to some remarks which, it would seem, the Moniteur had put forth in support of the Claims of Don MIGuEL to the Throne of Portugal. The Journals under the immediate influence of the French Govern ment advance this Prince's pretensions to the • Crown with an earnestness which bespeaks that they assume this tone with the authority of those under whose surveillance they are more particu larly conducted. It is reported in Paris that the Gazette of Augsburg (the Allgemeine Zeitung) has ceased to appear. Extracts will be found in another column. The improvement in the rate of Exchange, which the advices from Hamburgh and Paris, to which we adverted yesterday, mentioned, was nearly maintained on our Exchange yesterday afternoon. The Bills on Paris, which, on the preceding post-night (last Friday) were drawn at 25. 50., were last night at 25. 55., and in some cases at 25. 60. The prico of gold, likewise declined to its former quotation of 31. 17s. 6d., and thus the ground of the alarm which had been felt for some days was greatly removed. There is little doubt that this alteration was chiefly effected by the measures which have been adopted by those whose proceedings can most influence the exchanges, in consequence of the publicity which has been given by the Press to their declining state ; and our predictions, have been thus fulfilled, that as the evils of an over issue of paper had manifested themselves at so early a period after its recent increase, a remedy might, and probably would, be applied before any such serious consequences, as have before occurred, had ensued. It is to the Bank of Eng land, however, that we must look for the preven tion of any serious recurrence of the evil, as they hold in their hands the power of regulating, in a great measure, the rate of Exchange, and the price of the precious metals, by the amount of their issues ; and we trust they will exercise this power with discretion and judg ment. We have often stated that we do not conceive that such power should be invested in a - body composed as the Directors of the Bank of England are ; we rather conceive that as the currency of the country forms one of the most important branches of national policy, it should be under the immediate eontrqul and manage.- meat of some high executive department of the Government, instead of being so entifely under the direction of a Corporation, having private and distinct interests to advance. As long as such a system is allowed to go on, we shall be liable to vicissitudes in our currency, which, in immediate or ultimate effect, are inju rious to every interest of the country. Dutch Papers to the 22d inst. have been re- ceived this inorning. It appears that Prince IVIETTERNICH has set out on his travelling ex cursion, and intends, in the present critical posture of Austrian policy, to transact official business on his journey. The wily politician has so mystified the art of diplomacy that only himself can understand it : VIENNA, AUG. 9. His Highness Prince Metternich left this city on Mow day, to go to his estates in Bohemia. It its reported that after a short stay at Konigsmarth he will go to Topaz, to wait on his Majesty the King of Prussia, and then to Dresden, to pay his respects to the King of Saxony : the Prince will then return to his estates, where he intends to remain till the end of September. It is supposed that the Prince, during his absence, will continue to transact the business of his office, because he is accompanied by the Councillor'of State, Count de Mersey; by Baron de Pont, and Baron Charles Von Sieber, who are both in high si•• tuatione in the Foreign Department. _ _ rItAIMFORT, AUG. 17. According to accounts from Heidelberg, there had been some riots among the students, which had obliged the senate to suspend the courses of lectures for a week. AMSTERDAM, A 1.16. 19.

An Express has arrived from Paris with Mon day's prices :—Three per Cents. 73f. 50e., Five per Cents. 1041. 45c. for time. It was repormr at Paris that unfavourable news had arrived iii one of the French ports from Mexico. We understand it is expected that advices will reach town before the end of the present week from Constantinople, which will .bring accounts of the way in which the DIVAN has received the treaty for the pacification of Greece. Ap prehensions are entertained that an explosion of some sort will take place in Constantinople on the receipt of that treaty. We received, this morning, the Angelo?* Zeitun g of the 13th instant, and the 4:aria's Observer of the 10th. The preparations making by the Allied Powers to enforce a relinquishment of hostilities between the Turks and Greeks , begin already to influence the people of Con- stantinople, and accordingly reports obtain circa' lation that an English squadron, with a large body of troops, is to proceed to the Mediter ranean. The Ministers of the respective Powers are holding daily conferences, no doubt on the subject of the late convention. The King 'of PRUSSIA'S birth-day was kept at Berlin on the 3d, but the lack of poetic genius and oratorical flourish sadly disappointed the loyalty of the people. Perhaps, the late in. undations in Germany rather damped the poetic furor of the patriot worshippers of Apollo , However much the calamity is to be lamented, there must occasionally be a dearth of birth-day odes as well as potatoes : CONSTANTINOPLE, JULY 10. It is reported that an English squadron, with 6,00 0 troops on board, is expected in the Mediterranean to red lieve the garrison at Corfu. Last Saturday the birth-day of the Emperor Niche's , . was celebrated at Bujukdere. The Russian Ambassador , with his family, went on board an armed Russian transport. The Russian, English, French, Austrian, and Prustnao Ministers held frequent conferences, and couriers are bib' coming and going. M. Musser, the first Austrian Drags' man, who has but lately arrived from Vienna, has almost daily conferences with the Turkish Ministers. TRIESTE, AUG. 3. We learn by a vessel which Las arrived in twenty-foot days from Patras, that the Turkish fleet sailed from that harbour on the 12th July to go to Modon, where it WI to wait for the Egyptian fleet. Two thousand mules had arrived at Patrasso from Albania. BERLIN, ALTO. 4. His Majesty's birth-day was kept here yesterday in As usual loyal and affectionate manner. Is was to be 1.6 ' gretted that the poems and speeches which tha eocalio° called forth were so very indifferent, and that attachment to the King and his family was not able to inspire any one with t. little poetic fire.

The scholars and their mas. tens form themselves into parties, which have become in tolerable. Sometime ago it was found necessary to dis miss from his situation a Polish schoolmaster, who was secretly leagued with the scholars of his nation against their fellow German students. SIDILIN, AUG. 1. Tartars from Seres bring ward that a corps of newly organized troops is on its march through that part of the ccuntry, to support the Seraskier in suppressing the insur rection.
