But, nevertheless, we must go 144 '. The National Debt is still larger, much larger tha n 'I S wnolesorne, and at present we see hut little hop e of a reduction to any very great amount. I t is uot, therefore, sufficient that the Revenue should increase ; something should be done to dimi nish the great weight of the National Debt P°tl the publi c purse, and thus place us in a sit uation to protect ourselves when war should a galii be fleCeSSary. Yesterday "f ro publish e d an ex t ra ct o f a l e tt er si o in Mexi co, stating that the liveliest apprehen ns Were entertained lest the Congress should ref use to r at if y the Commercial Treaty with Crreat Britain. The grounds on which this re ftisal w as said t o proceed were—that Great Bri- Z it/ ha ving acknowledged the independence of exic ° could not retract, and that, therefore, "gressrnight safely refuse to concede to her the advantages 8 she claimed, and hold them, out 43 induce ments to oth er nat i ons to recogn i se th e have it in 11 °.

W e are happy, however, to 8 our po wer to say, that although suc h a " , tinl ents did prevail for a ti me , better feeling . 4 b na etter sense ha Cto r have finally led to the satis tieY arrangement of the affair. The let -411 bileg i ng this i ntelligence will be found in Z h er colu mn , e Pro cannot but express our i n di gnat i on at th e 4 1 04t m g a tlna of sentiments better suited to the wo r i d neie nt and corrupt Governments of the and Whi c h g i ves us b u t a very poor idea of the -s, • Which nd integrity coolof th a t representat i ve b o d y, RAp 4 b le ofa d find in its ranks a nu m b er o f men eliberately recommendinf t r, the adop tlon of a course so mean and so dishonest as that above referred to. Even had the advantages we sought been of a nature that the Mexican Go vernment could not in justice to its citizens con cede, still the ground of refusal would have been highly reprehensible ; but when the concessions sought for were not of that nature, the refusal becomes as unwise as the ground for it is base and dishonest. England asked not for ex clusive advantages, although she was in a situation to have done so, and moreover could have enforced her demands. She asked only to have all the privileges which in future should be conceded to any - nation ex cepting only Spain and the South American States, and yet this was to be denied. The imbecility and weakness that dictated such a refusal is only equalled by that of the Government of Old Spain, for it is obvious that as the privileges demanded were to be reciprocal, the Citizens of the Mexican Republic would derive the greatest benefits from the concession. Surely, the opening of the Mexican ports to British shipping and British ports to Mexican ship ping, (or rather permitting a powerful, wealthy, and enterprising nation to trade with a new State just emerging from dependence On the Mo ther Country, and not yet recovered from the desolation of civil war) on an equal footing, is at the very least mutually beneficial, not to say that it presents advantages to the latter of no ordinary degree, by affording every facility and encouragement for the influx of British capital, to the singular advancement of the best interests of the Republic. The French Papers of Monday contain nothing that can interest the English reader.

The Allgemeine Zeilung gives an article relative to affairs in Greece, and the capture of Navarino' from Trieste, but in other respects contains no political intelligence whatever. This article is as follows : • TRIESTE, .TUNE 22.—A ship has arrived here from Cala rnata, in the Mores., after a voyage, of:J.B days, and according to the accounts brought by it, all uncertainty respecting the capitulation of Navarino is dispelled. After the taking of Old Navarino the garrison proposed to capitulate, and Ibrahim Pacha granted it permission to leave the fortress unmolested. But after the attacks of the 12th and 13th of May, in which Ibrahim Pacha suffered such severe losses, this event has lost its importance, and will hardly re lieve the Egyptian Commander from his great embarrass ments, especially as his magazines of powder and provisions were destroyed in Modon. The number of the ships burnt, or otherwise destroyed, on the 12th May, is stated in Greek let ters, at 50. We are not yet acquainted with the particulars of the surrender of Navarino, which indeed SCRIMS almost incom prehensible, after the heroic exploit of Miauly. EXCHANGES ON LONDON.

PC.TEP.SBURGII, JUNE 18.--In consequence of an application made by our Minister for Foreign Affairs to the Swedish Government, an immense mass of original surveys, maps, and other documents, has lately been rec.ived at Riga from Stockholm. They relate to the Baltic provinces Livonia, Esthania, and Ceurland, and are indispensably necessary for the intended survey and measurement of all the domains of the Crown. According to the lists put with them, there are in 18 chests, 3,830 maps and documents, and 692 folio volumes. It is recorded in our annals that after the peace of Nystadt in the summer of 1725, special Commissioners were sent to Stockholm to abtain these documents, but returned unsuccess ful after staying two years in that city. MExtco, APRIL. 30.—There has been some difference of opinion between the British Commissioners and this Govern ment respecting the treaty, and the reports on the occasion were more or less exaggerated according to the opinions and inte rests of the parties. From the beginning, however, I had every reason to believe that every thing would be ultimately settled. The result has proved that I was right, for all diffi culties are now removed, and my next will advise you the de tails of what has been done.—You may easily imagine that certain foreign agents and partisans were not idle to frustrate the conclusion of a treaty with Great Britain, and that they found a powerful auxiliary in the bigotry still prevailing in this country. A new Steam-boat is building at Carlscrona, which is to ply between Westerwyk, Calmar, Carlscrona, &c. to Isstadt. It is the property of a Company, and is to be ready by September. Accounts from Barbadoes state, that the an nouncement of expected Methodist Missionaries, in the early part of Apfil, had excited some commotion, and it was feared their landing would be opposed. , - Lord CocURANE has arrived in London': his Lordship is in excellent health, and looks re markably well. ~ l ;i 3 r~,,~ '...?" ..." :4, ,i, , z2,.,.).:, ( -- , t - , f • ,T;...w-. t , 7 .D Tg r,.. ??.. ., ,-,:: J 4, J ~.,2 2, ,: , ,, ... ..,...st,„ 4; -- t,,,, e , ---... 1...7e , : 1 , ,-, , :::: . --- ,..\... z .) , . . 1 1) 4,/,.•P d A :,„.., A (ft .

The body and sleeves superbly ornamented with gold and silver ; the stomacher and hand entirely covered wtrh diamonds. Her Royal Highness's dress had a most splendid and novel, effect.

The Duchess of Cambridge, accompanied by her_ infant daughter, the Princess Augusta, and attended by Mrs. Page, visited the Dttchess of Gloucester yesterday. Yesterday the Duchess of Kent, accompanied by the infant Princess Vittoria and Princess Feodore, attended by Barone'ss Spaedth, paid a visit to the Duchess of Cambridge. Mr. Lushington had a distinguished dinner party at his. house in Downing -street on Tuesday, among whom Were • 31r.' Canning, Mr. Peel, Lord Mountcharles, i%lr. Hual4son, Lord Binning, &c. Mr. Secretary Canning gave a grand dinner yesterday, at his residende, Gloucester Lodge, Old Brompton, to a select party. On Tuesday the Chancellor of the Exchequer and Lady Sarah Robinson, had a select party to dinner, at their residence in Downing-street. The Countess of Dartmouth's assembly on Tuesday evening, in Berkeley-square, was attended by nearly 200 fashionables. Grand I , inners were yesterday given by the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Duke of Beaufort, the Dowager Marchioness of Exeter, the Earls of Aberdeen, Kinnoul, and Cowper. The Marquis of Hertford is going to build a magnificent villa in the north-west corner of the Regent's Park. The ground is now being marked out for the purpose. ENGLISH OPERA HOUSE.-The new Opera of Broken Promises, or the Colonel and the Corporal, was repeated last night with most confirmed success. It has been rendered more compact by judicious curtailments, and it may fairly be classed with some of the best English Operas of modern times. The music, selected and original, was received with increased ap plause. THORNE is more easy, and his voice ap pears to greater advantage. Miss GRAY now re lies more on her powers, and does credit to the able tuition of Miss KELLY, who is herself one of the main props of the piece. WRENCH is, as usual, lively and whimsical in the Colonel, and PowER, in the Corporal, proves himself to be one of the best representatives of Irish charac ters now on the Stage. Miss STEPHENS . and Miss NOEL are also powerful supporters of the piece. The general excellence of the acting, therefore, and the intrinsic merit of the Opera, promise a very successful career. ARGYLL ROOMS.—MISS E.PATON, the youngest of the musical family, whose talents are so de servedly admired, had her first benefit last night at these Rooms. She is very young, very pleas ing in person, and possesses great musical talents. On this occasion Mrs. PATON cam? forward, and by her own musical powers proved how capable she is of directing the professional education of her offspring. The Concert was led by Motu, and CIANCHETTINI was conductor. We have not room for particulars, but we may confidently predict that Miss E. PATON will become one of the chief ornaments of the musical circles. — Her sister, Miss I. PATON, assisted in the Concert, and Messrs. HORN, A. SAN°, thwEs, Miss GRA ODON, and Miss STEPHENS, kindly came forward on the occasion. Mom and NicHoLsoN also displayed their instrumental excellence. Madame VEs - ro.is was announced in the Bills, but she did not appear. The music was well selected. The Room was crowded, and the young candidate for public faiNaur re ceived such warm applause as to justify the ex pectation that she will give increased celebrity to the name of PATON. Signor VELLUTI, whatever may be his talents, they are not suitable to the taste and habits of this country, and as the public have manifested a strong repugnance to such performers, it is to be hoped that he is the last we shall ever see of that description, POETRY. THE TEMPLE OF VESTA. A PRIZE Por.m, recited in the THEATRE, OXFORD, on the 15th qfJune, 1825, by RICHARD CLARKE SEWELL, qf Magdalen College. The dark pine waves on Tibur's classic steep, From rock to :ock the headlong waters leap, Tossing their foam on high, till leaf and flower Glitter, like emeralds, in the sparkling shower : Lovely—but lovelier from the charms that glow Where Latium spreads her purple vales below ; The olive, smiling on the sunny hill, The golden orchard, mat the ductile rill, The spring clear-bubbling in its rocky font, The moss-grown cave, the Naiad's fabled haunt, And, far as eye can strain, yon shadowy dome, The glory of the earth, Eternal Rome. This, this was Vesta's seat—sublime, alone, The mountain crag uprear'd her Virgin throne, In all the majesty of Goddess might, Fann'd by pure gales, and bathed in cloudless light : Hers was the dash of Anio's sacred tide, The from Ileaven's ethereal fount supplied, And the young forms that trod the marble shrine, For earth too fair, for mortal too divine. And lo ! where still ten circling columns rise High o'er the arching spray's prismatic dyes, Touch'd, but not marr'd_ae time bad paused to spare The wreaths that bloom in lingering beauty there— E'en where each mouldering wreck might seem to mourn Her rifted shaft, her lov'd acanthus torn, Nature's wild flowers in silent sorrow wave Their votive sweets o'er art's neglected grave. But ye, who sleep the calm and dreamless sleep, Where joy forgets to smile, and woe to weep, For you, blest maids, a long and last repose Has still'd each pulse that throbs, each vein that glows ; For oft, too oft, the white and spotless vest Conceal'd a bleeding heart, an aching breast, Hope, that with cold despair held feeble strife, And love that parted but with parting life ; Still would the cheek with human passion burn, Still would the heart to fond remembrance turn, Vow all itself to Heaven, but vow in vain, Sigh for its thoughts, yet sigh to think again. And thou, Immortal Bard, whose sweetest lays Were hymn'd in rapture to thy Tibur's praise, What, though no more the listening vales prolong The playful echoes of thy Sabine song, Weep not her olive groves' deserted shade, Her princely halls, in silent ruin laid, Her altars mouldering on a nameless hill— There all is beauty, all is glory still ; Flowers—yet more bright than Roman maiden wreath'd ; Prayers—yet more pure than virgin priestess breath'd A fane—more noble than the vestal trod— The Christian's temple, to the Christian's God ! SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. HAMPTON RACES. FIRST I)AY.-WEDNESDAY S JULY 6. This being the first day, the course was not so numerously attended as is sometimes the case, but here as at all other meet ings, a first day is less attractive than the succeeding ones, and is, in fact, considered as a kind of introduction to the second and third days. We should be wrong, however, in saying that the attendance was thin ; for notwithstanding the sky was over cast, both the road and the river presented a very lively appear ance, and long before the races commenced, the course boasted of a brilliant display of the highest rank and fashion, and a great number of dashing equipages, nor de we recollect a more animated first day. Mr. Ball Hughes and his amiable lady were present, and during the week kept open house at Oatlands, where a large party of fashionables assembled. There were present, the illarquis of Hertford, Lords Ben thick, Berkeley, Hon. Mr. De Roos, Sir J. Shelley, the Ladies Berkeley, J. Douglas, Esq., T. Duncombe, Esq., De Bur,h, Esq., Hon. Fitzroy Stanhope, Captain Fitzclarence, Captain Berkeley, Gilbert, Esq., V. Mayo, Esq., seve. ral of the most celebrated dragsmen, whose teams made a very dashing appearance. The following are particulars of the sports : The Clarence Stakes of 10 sovs. each, for all ages (the winner to be sold for 150 soya., Sze4 : three yrs, 7st. 41b. ; four yrs, Bst. 71b. ; five yrs, 9st. ; six and aged, 9st. 41b.

Three others started, but were not placed. The Ladies' Plate for 3 yr. olds, 7st. 71b. ; 4 yrs. Bst. 71b.; 5 yrs. 9st.; 6 yrs anti aged, 9st. 41b.; mares and geldings al. lowed 31b.

A Foot Race, which excited considerable interest, took place this morning, in Hyde-park, between Mr. Smith, of sporting celebrity, and Mr: Jackson, well known on the Turf. The distance ran was one hundred yards, and so closely was it con tested, that Mr. Smith won only by about half a yard. The following is given as the late Professor PORSON'S own account of his academic visit to the Continent : " I went to Frankfort and got drunk " With that most learn'd professor Brunck ; " I went to Worts and got more drunken " With that more learn'd professor, Ruhnken." VAuxuAr.r. GA ILDENS.---A grand National Gala, in honour of our northern brethren, took place at these gardens last night, and was attended by a considerable number of the children of the Tartan, dressed in their native costume. In the centre n; the Quadrangle was represented the Cross of St. Andrew, surmounted by the thistle, with the motto Cruina chea Na'n Clan (the Gathering of the Clans), all formed of variegated lamps, of which several thousand additional lent their glittering aid on this occasion, to enhance the general splendour of the scene. The pavilion was graced with number less military and naval trophies in commemoration of triumphs principally achieved by Scottish valour, while the rotunda was hung with Scottish banners. If the appearance of the gardens was perfectly Caledonian, the entertainments were not less characteristic of the land of cakes. A pretty little Ballet, called Little Peggy's Wedding, or The Highland Festival, was produced for the occasion, and warmly applauded. A painting representing the city of Edinburgh ; cosmorama views taken from the Grampian hills ; the celebrated Mr. Gow and his Highland band ; Mr. Clare, the Scottish piper; and a concert of Scottish airs exclusively ; were amongst the other appropriate and interesting novelties of the evening. In addi tion to which there were the usual sources of amusement, the most attractive of which were—a very magnificent display of fireworks, and the young American's ascent on the tight-rope in the midst of them. The company was both numerous and re spectable, but not so crowded as it might have been, were it not for the unfavourable aspect of the weather in the early part of the afternoon, although became beautifully serene and dry in the subsequent part of the evening, Mr. C. Lehman, the cele brated tight-rope dancer from St. Petersburgh, made his third appearance, and his astonishing performances excited the ad. miration of 2 the brilliant assemblage of visitors present ' • his vaulting on the rope was a prodigious effort of strength and agility. The beautiful cabinet painting by Corregio of the Virgin and Child, lately the property of the King of SPAIN, and formerly in the collection of Marshal SOULT, that has been added to the Grand National Gallery, in Pall-Mall, was yes terday conveyed to Carlton Palace, to be in spected by the KING. His MAJESTY expressed his admiration of the beauty and softness of the picture, and it was carried back to the Exhibi tion. The Gallery is crowded on the days of Exhibition, in consequence of their admirable addition to the former attractions. Black Joe, the late Watchman in Covent Garden, this day underwent his punishment of publicly whipping in Covent Garden Market., COURT OF KING'-'S BENC/I—(Tius DAY.) COMPOUNDING PENALT!Es WITH GAMBLERS.. THE KING V. GRANT AND HOLLINGBURY. The ATTORNEY-G ENtit AL stated, that this was an indictment for conspiracy aE, , aitis7 Thomas Erskine Grant and Charles Paulett flollinghury, at the instance of Fielder and Aldridge, who were convicted on a prosecution by the two for mer, then prosecutors for keeping a common gaming-house. The offence charged against the defendants was taking from Fielder a sum of 4501. An consideration of not bringing the parties up for judgment. Mr. William Staflbrd, the attorney of Fielder and Aldridge. proved the defendants being prosecutors on the indictment for keeping a gambling-house. John Fielder being called into the witnesses' box, an objec tion was taken to his competency by Mr. Brougham and the Common Sergant, on the ground of his having been convicted of an infamous offence, namely, the keeping a common gaming. • house, and conspiring to cheat and defraud. Several 'authorities were cited in support of the objection. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE said, he would take a note of the objection, and in the meantime the evidence of Fielder pro ceeded. He produced a cheque on Messrs. Ransom and.Co.'s. Banking-house, drawn in favour of Hollingbury for 450/. 4 which the Banker's Clerk proved having been paid; also a Written agreement, signed by Hollingbury, not to bring the' defend - ants up for judgment. The agreement was between wittress' and Hollingbury, who sent for witness to come to him at his , chambers in Furnivals' Inn, proposed 5001. saying it would be better for him (Fielder) to pay that sum than undergo. the sentence of the Court, of fine and imprisonment. Witness consented to give 450/. and was not called up for judgment by, Hollingbury, but afterwards on this and another indictineaChy, the Attorney General, on both of which he rece i ve d judgmeht, viz. a fine of 30001. andl one months imprisonment. Is noWOut of prison. Mr. COMMON SERGEANT, on the part of Grant, subinitted there was not sufficient evidence to connect him with theOffence,, but as against Hollingbury only. . . The Loan CHIEF JUSTICE observed upon Hollingbury's being now suffering imprisonment on a former conviction fzsr the like offence. The Loup CHIEV JUSTICE charged the Jury to acquit Grant. The Jury then desired to know from his Lordship if they were to receive the evidence of Fielder. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE—You may attach what credit you will to it, I have only to tell you that I have admitted it as competent, subject to any objection hereafter to be made by motion before the whole Court.

MEssINA, JUNE I.—ln consequence of the altertithin - lof the quarantine laws in England, vessels Arriving from thence are subject to 21 days' quarantine from the 'time discharging their last package, and goods to 24 days in the'laira4fter.' l ' - • A Duvr,.—On Tuesday morning, between! sieves and eight o'clock, a meeting took place at Finchley-common, between two highly distinguished .Officers in his Majesty's service, one of whom, Colonellt we regret to state, was dangerously wounded, having,tin the first exchange of shots, received his adversary's ball in the groin, where it entered u just under Poussart's ligamont,,and taking an oblique direction, lodged in the interior.:ollhe pelvis, where it still lies, it having been deemed expedienehy the medical attendants to defer performing the operation . of Ax - tracting the ball until Sir A. Cooper had given his advice.- The gallant officer was immediately removed to the Red Libm.itm. Highgate, under the superintendence of Mr. Snow, surgeon of that village, who happened to be riding by at the time ofrneetieg and who has paid every attention to his patient that skill•and humanity could suggest. Sir A. Cooper's numerous profes fional engagements prevented his being at home to a late hour on Tuesday night, consequently the usual operation of extract ing the hall has been delayed. This unpleasant meeting, we are sorry to hear, originated in some trifling difference :ot opi nion, which, but for the communicativeness of some friends, would most probably have had an amicable termination. — (Morning Paper.) ST. IGNATius.—A devout lady offered'a prayer to St. Ignatius for the conversion ot her husband. .A, after, the man died. " What a good Saint is our Ignatius !" exclaimed the consolate widow ; " he best Ors onlus mine be., nefits than we ask for !" 'File NEW ASSOCIATION.—The M . oject .. rif „, New Catholic Associ tion will, we have .reason to cornelade, be speedily submitted to the public eye. The "mo4' I er feet unanimity exists amo if st the Noblemen and Geptle men who have been sele(t.2d to consider the very 'lMpor tont question—whether a Catholic Association could b er.ta blished and maintained without infringing on ally ing law. The Committee will not be swaye . d.by the rei.s - of Mr. NV. Bellew, but will, we Eacte no form their own opinion as to the question cf law, and be guided by their own judgment as to what step. - inaT, at this critical period, be most likely to promote the greathational purpose which every honest man has in view—the etrimcip.a non of the Roman Catholics of Ireland, and the consequent settlement of this country. It is absurd. to sappewe that the Catholics, who have a mighty cause at issue, would Wish to take any step that could, in the slightest degree, inj u re' that cause. They know that intemperate measures would rcinierially injure their prospects, and essentially contribute to pull them down from the station that they occupy iri the eye' of the world. The eyes of foreign nations are at this moment fixed upon Ireland. The treatment which she recently received has been too remarkable to escape observation and although that treatment might account for, perhaps excuse,. very violent coif duct on the part of the people of this country . ; yet we should be very sorry to see them have recourse to violence. A manly forbearance on their part will be more worthy the-dignity of their cause, and will, we are convinced, recommend in the strongest manner their claims to the peopleiof,Eng land, upon whose opinion the success of CatholtvEman cipation must in a great measure depend. Pla!ed , its , lreland is, in a subordinate situation, it is not the will of lier•people it is not the opinion of her great landed proprietors, that can alone work out her independence. She must consult tie opinion of that powerful country with which she is connected, and•under whose controul her happiness, her freedom, almost her exist ence, have been placed by the Legislative Union.--(Dublin Morning Register. ) ALARMING FlRE.—About one o'clock'. this morning a fire •was discovered in ,the extensive premises of a chain-maker, situate its Marshall. street, Carnaby market, which at first thrt‘attivid equal destruction to the !ate dreadful contlagra. tion in Murylebone.
