INUNDATIONS IN FRANCE SWIMMING. Patrono Corporis Piscatorum et Urinatorutn. If they only presented them with a medal, with an appropriate inscription, it would be a mean of stir ing them up to farther exertions. I am, Sir, your's, &c. F. S., Oct. 19, 1827. D. P. P. S. Natation or Swimming is an important art, though but little known and appreciated by many people ; and it is an art easily and soon learned by boys or men, if they have a good swimmer to teach them. They should first learn the elementary prin ciples out of water, and then attempt it in water, in a bathing dress of calico. If you think the above worth public notice, it is at your service. I could give you a deal of information on swimming. I was . a swimmer near .50 years ago, and so I am now, and as fond of it as ever I was. If you Gentlemen, Editors of Papers, would give all such accounts of swimming as you meet with worth notice, you would be doing a public good, and highly gratify a numerous class of your readers and well-wishers. AWFUL VISITATION.-- This day, at half past eleven o'clock, as a man in the dress of a sail,* was passing along Tothill-street, Westminster, he suddenly fell back, and remained motionless for several minutes. The extraordinary appearance of the man attracted the attention of the passengers, who immediately went up, and conveyed him into the shop of Mr. Hindle, surgeon, where the un fortunate man expired in a short time. An inquest will be held this day before Mr. Higgs, Coroner for Westminster. REMARKABLE CABBAGE.--On the 16th of March last, Mr. Robert Lane, of Mottram St. Andrew, near this town, sowed an onion bed; among the seed was a stray cabbage seed, of the Scot kind ; without being hoed, or any care being taken of it, it grew to an enormous -size, and being cut on Sunday last, it was found to be of tile extraordinary weight of 25 pounds !—Maecles . field Herald. Cobbler 'Will, whose name has been familiar with the public, in connexion with the murder of Mr. Akehuret and housekeeper, at Fetcham, Surrey, has passed through Ringwood, on his way to a ncighbonring town in Dorsetshire, where he claims considerable property, which is said to have devolved to him by the death of an elder brother, a respectable surveyor Lately deceased.—Hants Chronicle. An extraordinary mail robbery, we hear, has taken place in this neighbourhood this week,—the walking postman between Aynho and Brackley being st o pp e d and robbed of four bags. The robber, it is said, had afterwards gone by the mail coach to London, and there being apprehended, was brought down in custody on Fri day morning, in the same mail-coach, to be examined in the immediate vicinity of the robbery. [Since the above was composed, w e l earn th a t t wo nien were concerne d iu the robbery, one of whom was found at Banbury. The property they had obtained was greater than might have been expected, being about 300/. We are glad to announce that the greatest part of the property has been recovered, and that the robbers were on Friday committed to North ampton gaol.]—Becks Chronicle. A remarkable instance of self-destruction oc curred, on §unday last, at Towersey, Bucks. Ann, wife of John Jackman, of that place, bad been for some time in a deepondiag state, but appeared as well as usual on that morning, and ate her breakfast heartily. She was soon afterwards left alone by a relation, and was seen by one of ler childr.en washin g h er h an d s i n a pan containing about half a pad , full of water. A short time after, she was discovered sittin g on the floor, with the pan, inverted on her head, nearly d ea d, and expired in a b ou t two hours ' a f terwards. It is supposed she h e ld h er h ead in thepan,- and in her struggles turned it i n the position in which she WAS found. Deceased was about forty-six years old,.and has left a family of five children to lament her melancholy end.—Bucks Chronicle. A SEXTON INHUMED.--A few evenings since a sexton, who resides within fifty miles of Chelford, in this county, formed the resolution of watching and cap turing certain youths who had been in the practice of steal ing his walnuts. Armed with a good resolution, he sallied forth to the scene of action, and found two stripling s in the act of premeditated plunder; he challenged ti :em, and demanded an instant surrender; scoffings and revilings were the returns to his commands and exhortations. The sexton then said, that he would carry the intruders to a constable, and place them in durance vile; when Jo ! the tables were turned, and the young thieves, bearing the digger of graves to his chapel-yard, cast him into a new-madegrave. The "house of the dead" was very deep, the evening was unu finally dark, and it rained with all the vehemence of an equi • noctial storm. The sexton, thus inhumed, roared aloud, the neighbourhood was alarmed, and many well-disposed persons flew to the consecrated ground, whence the dolor ousiad sou nds proce e d e d. A n o ld woman declared that she seen/Satan bear the sexton through the air, and drop him into a pit, and that, no doubt, he had sufEeient cause to lament his exit from this world to " the Lord knew where he was gone , "At length th e vo i ce o f t hi s man of " the tu r f" was marl), recognised some who, by the assistance aby • neighbours, ' a rope, drew him from his un comfortable abode, and took him to his home. The grave was soon tenanted by one who ma d e n o con3p iletfield Herald. (From the Quotidienne.) LYONS, OCT. 14.—For two days the waters of th e Rhone have increased in a prodigious degree. The whole of_ the plain of Brottean is inundated; the inhabitants have been driven to the first. stories of ,their house s , an d a number or draught cattle which could not be got out of the stables have perished. The Bourbon course is covered and the works of the Mound of La Vitriolerie has been in many Places destroyed. The intelligence received from Datiphigny, and from the banks of the Rhone, states that the waters have occasioned deplorable ravages there. The dili• gence from Valence to Lyons, which accomplishes the journey ordinarily in twelve hours, was de tained three days. The waters had, however, greatly diminished, and the river was once more within ita banks. At Avignon, the river covered the quays and streets to a great depth, and flowed into the ware houses. The country house of NI. Achard, near Avignon, was overthrown by the waters. That merchant 'was swept away by the stream, and ex posed to very great danger. He was at length res cued, but in a wounded state, and he is still very ill. Another country house, containing eight persons, was crumbled to pieces almost at the moment that a boat, which had gone to their assistance, had landed them on the quay. A man was snatched from the stream, lying almost lifeless in a little boat, and by his side an infant in a cradle. The town of Roquemauro has lost seventeen houses, and that of Caderousse more than thirty. The same day, at two o'clock, persons were still obliged to pass from street to street in boats. The Rhone, however, continued to fall. The impetuo- city of the Ardeche was such, that its stream, as it were, cut that of the Rhone, which they crossed, bore down the mound of the opposite bank, and, at a quarter of a lsague's distance, destroyed the cause way which joins the road of Lyons to that of Langue doc, by means of the bridge St. Esprit. TO THE EDITOR OF THE 'SUN. SIR—I was much pleased with the account you gave in your Paper of the 17th inst. of the heroic courage of a youth, aged 15 years (Master Samuel Green, of Yougbal), who, after the usher had failed in his attempt to save his school-fellow from drown ing, boldly plunged in, and rescued him from a watery grave. It particularly attracted jay attention, as I have a son, who, at the age of 13 years (in 1819), had the courage and skill not only to save his school-fellow from drowning, but also the usher, who had at-I tempted to save him, but failed, and they both sunk two or three times; and • he, seeing their danger, immediately threw himself into the water, and swam to their assistance, and, laying hold of one of them, 'he brought both of them to the bank, swimming with one hand, by which means they were both saved from drowning. I 'taught him the elementary principles of swim ming, on land, and the first time he went into the water, at the first attempt, he swam, and soon be came an expert swimm er . It is a pity that there is not a Society in Grea Britain to patronise such courageous youths, as wel as in Ancient Rome— FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. "It is said that Jeps del Estangs has retired towards Calaf with 1,500 men, and Carajal to Agra mont. It is added, that in their retreat from Man rasa, they both committed many excesses; Roma gosa and some others were carried away prisoners, and it was intended to hang them at Busa. " The rebel Chief Caston, of Olot, sent on the 9th October his submission to the Governor of Fi gueiras. His band, consisting of 600 fix:4 and 50 horse, took the title of Royalist division of Lam pourdan." (From the Quotidienne.) (PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.) BARCELONA, OCT. 10.—The troops expected from the other provinces of Spain, and the army of he Tagus, have just entered Catalonia. Several ships belonging to the Royal Navy have also arrived at Tarragona. General Count d'Espagne entered Manresa in the afternoon of Monday (Oct. 8.) The rebels hearing that the Royal troops were approaching the town, took to flight, so that, when the Count d'Espagne arrived, the most perfect tranquillity reigned. The Royalist Volunteers, who compose the police. of Manresa, had already reinstated in its functions the legitimate Governor, whom the rebels had for some time kept in prison. Upon leaving Manresa, the rebels took the road to Igualada, Calaf, and other mountain points. Gen. d'Espagne had expressed an intention of repairing to Cardonna and Vich. Every where the King's troops are received with the acclamations of the people and the ringing of bells. Partizan chiefs daily present themselves to make their submission : nevertheless, Carajal, Jep Del Estangs, Villella, Ballester, Castannis, and some others, persist in their e rror . Th e two l ast recently pillaged the village of St. Felieu de Guixola. We are Informed also, that on the side of Lampourdan, and in the neighbourhood of Girona, the Agraviados, beaten at all points, an d f ur i ous at t h e i r defeats, lave burnt all the forage. These unfortunate men ought to perceive, that in their present desperate ,situation nothing remains for them but to have recourse to the King's clemency. A considerable number have already taken advantage of the amnesty, and it is probable that their contumacious chiefs, abandoned by the men they have misled, will fall into the hands of justice. PARIS, OCT. 19,—A letter from Marseilles of the 12th Oct. says—" The Algerine affair is now offi cial)), known, and is not so serious as was announced. According to the communication of our Chamber of Commerce, eleven sail of Algerine vessels endea voured to leave the port on the 4th inst., but the French squadron, although only four vessels strong (large and small), easily repulsed them. No corsair was sunk, nor did any escape from the port. The convoy for Gibraltar set sail this morning under the escort of a single brig. " Several Greek privateers have been on the coast of Africa, but they respect the French flag. The Corsair cruising off Cape St. Vincent is the Tripo litan brig of war lifassouda. It has captured, near Vigo, the ship Flora, of Hamburgh, and has taken it to Gibraltar." (From the Journal des Debats.) BARCELONA, OCT. 10.—As the couriers do no reach France regularly, ,I will state the events that have taken place in the order of their date. On the morning of the 7th, several waggons load ed with the sick and wounded of the Royal army ar rived at Barcelona, and were taken to our Hospitals. On the Bth, the Bishop of Barcelona and the Su periors of some Convents, who had repaired to Tar ragona by the King's orders returned, and w e l earn, among other thi ngs , t h at his Majesty announced to them, that the Clergy of Catalonia would have to pay an extraordinary contribution to defray the ex penses of the war. 10th.---Th e advanced guard of the column of Royal troops, under the orders of the Count d'Espagne, arrived yesterday morning at the gates of Manresa. This town had been evacuated by the insurgents, and a deputation of the old municipal body, which reconstituted itself immediately upon their departure, came out to meet the vanguard, to present the commander with the keys of the town. It is only a part of the members composing the Junta of Government of the insurgents which has submitted to the King; the remainder have with drawn, with the two principal chiefs, Carajal and Lechef. The latter, who seem decided to continue the war, have retreated towards the mountains of Calaf, by way of Maya. They have divided their troops, which may be estimated at 5,000 men, into three columns. The first has taken the road to the moun tains of Calaf, intending to occupy all its points; they left a second at Maya; and the third has directed itself upon Girona, Hostalrich, and Cardona, in order to earry on their siege with greater vigour. From what has passed at Manresa, and the dispositions taken by * Several letters from Vienna agree on this point, yet we believe that nothing positive is yet known on the sub ject.—Note of the Editor. (From the Gazette de France, dated October 21.) VIENNA, OCT. l l.—lt is said that Prince Gus tavus of Sweden, who, since he entered the Austrian service, has lived here in great style, has obtained leave of absence, which he will ma k e use o f to go to Carlsruh e , and tliente to Paris. Letters from Verona say, that Baron Frimont, Commander-in-Chief of our Army of Observation on the Po, is dangerously ill. Count Villa Real, who has come to invite the In fant Don Miguel to take the Regency of Portugal, on the principles decreed by the Emperor Don Pedro, had an audience this morning of the Emperor, He will be presented to the Arebdukgs to-morrow. Before the departure of the Princess Maria of Bavaria, whom report still speaks of as betrothed to the Emperor Don Pedro, she received from our Em peror a present of a very fine suit of diamonds. On the Bth Count Saurau, High Chancellor and Minister of the Interior, waited on theq3aroness de Leykam, who is affianced to Prince Metternich, and delivered to her a gracious autograph resciipt of the Emperor, bestowing on her the dignity of Countess of Beilstein. The marriage of the Prince will take place towards the end of October. A courier from St. Petersburgh arrived here on the Bth. It is said that the Emperor Nicholas in sisted more positively than ever on the proposals of pacification made to the Porte. The Infant Don Miguel, of whose departure we hear no mention, has not yet taken possetsion of the apartments in the Palace, which have been prepared for him above a week. It is this Moment reported that the Princess Maria of Bavaria has refused the hand of the Emperor Don Pedro. FRANKFORT, OCT. 1 6.—There- has been to-day a great demand for stock of all kinds , on our Ex change. This circumstance is ascribed to accounts from Vienna; according_ to which th e S u l tan i s re ported to have consent e d to a suspensiOn of arms.* BUCHAREST, SEPT. 30.—We have accounts from Constantinople to the 21st. 'The Ministers of the three Powers still had a continued intercourse with the 'Porte ; they seem not to have given up the hope of getting the mediation accepted, notwith standing the opposition hitherto. . The Porte re mains tranquil, and the armaments made at Constan tinople are sufficient, indeed, to defend the capital, but not to maintain a war with a Continental power. A courier has passed through this city, on his way to Constantinople, who had travelled from Paris in eleven days. 1 (From the Ilioniteur of Saturday, Oct. 20.) PARIS, OCT. 19.—A l e tt er from Barcelona, dated the Ilth of this month, contains the following par ticulars : " General Count d'Espagne entered Manresa on the Bth. The Clergy and the Ayuntarniento came out to meet him with the giants (les geants), and the band of music. The ?d Regiment, which makes part of the column of the Count d'Espagne, and whose stall were taken prisoners at Manresa, found its military chest untouched; it contained 5,000 douros. Carajal and Lecher, you see that the war is far from finish e d, f or t h e mounta i ns w h ere these two chiefs mean to carry on the war, a re so i m p ract i ca bl e for eg ular troops, that, with the men they h are at being r their di s p osa l , and the knowledge of the country, they may be able to occupy for several years the whole army of the Count d'Espagne, as ditt.thr Guerilla Chiefs who occupied the same mountains during the war of independence, in 1810, 1811, and 1812, and tinder the Constitution, in 1821 and 1822; and Ca rajal and Leclief are neither less informed, nor less enterprising, than the chiefs who commanded in the mountains of Calaf at those two periods. The report is still credited, that if the insurgents succeed in taking Hostalrich, which . is a tolerably strong place, three members of the• Regency, who have followed them, will there be installed to re constitute their Government. The King has, it is said, decided that no one shall be punished during his stay in Catalonia; it is the Count d'Espagne who will remain here with 25,000 men, who will be entrusted with the punishment of thoSe who may have been concerned in the revolt. It is asserted, in the most positive manner, that the garrison of Barcelona is about to be reinforced. The French courier ought to have arrived to-day, and he has not come. The expected arrival this evening of the troops, which the insurgents took prisoners at Manresa, when they took possession of that towp, has jusf been announced.

The Paris Papers of Saturday, and the Gazette de France dated Sunday morning, reached us last night. They still leave the question of the submission of the Porte in a state of doubt, although general opinion seems to agree in the probability of this event. An article from Bucha rest, in the Gazette de France, states that ac counts had been received from Constantinople to the 21st ult., by which it appeared that the Ministers of the three Powers appeared not to have given up the hope of getting the mediation accepted, notwithstanding the opposition which has been hitherto experienced. They still had a continued intercourse with the Porte. The same paper contains an article from Frank fort dated the 16th, which states that there had been a great demand for stock of all kinds on their ' Exchange that day. The circumstance was ascribed to accounts from Vienna, according to which the SULTAN was reported to have con seated to a suspension of arms. To this para graph the Editor of the Gazette de France sub joins a note, stating that several letters from Vienna agree on this point, yet he believes that nothing positive is yet known on the sub ject. If these reports were founded in fact, our Government cannot be many hours longer w out positive intelligence of the event ; bu Frankfort Exchange news is not always to he depended upon. Th e intelligence from Spain spews, that although the Insurgents disperse wherever the KING'S troops present themselves, they do not in all cases submit. CA lIAJAL, JEP DEL ESTANGS, and some others, persist in their rebellion, and on their retreat pillage the towns and act fire to the forage. Manresa had been occupied by General Count D'ESPAGNE, but it was expected that a new Junta would be formed at Cardona or Hosta!rich, if the sieges of those places by the Insurgents terminated by their obtaining posses_ sion of them.

We have received, this morning, the Pi e d_ montaise Gazette, of the 13th, the Nuremberg Correspondent, of the 15th, and German Papers, to the 16th. By the former, we learn that the Russian fleet had got no further than Palermo, on the 28th September. An article which we have given at length is our extracts, pretended to be written from the Lower Elbe, alludes to negocia tion by a great Northern Court, for more efficient measures for the pacification of the East than those stipulated for in the Treaty of the 6th of July. The Court alluded to, we have no doubt, . . A . Accounts from Havannah to the 11th Sept. have been received at Baltimore. The Mexican squadron had left Key West, and Commodore LABORDE'S squadron was lying at Havannali ; two Spanish brigs of war sailed from that port on the 9th, to convoy several Guineamen through the Gulf as far as Charleston. The cargo of the British ship, 1-inies Mitchell, was to be sold at Key West on the 13th. By the decree of the Court of St. Augustine, the salvors were to pay the costs, amounting to 4,000 dollars. The Lords of the Treasury have with alacrity and liberality made some very reasonable and just concessions to the Malt Trade, by the modifica tion of various regulations established by the Act of the last Session. These concessions are detailed in a letter from Mr. FRANKLAND LEWIS, one of the Secretaries to the Treasury, to Mr. WODEROUSE, the Member for Norfolk, which will be found in another column, and we have no doubt that they will prove satisfactory to the persons engaged in this business, both from their immediate effect in removin g some of the inconveniencies complained of, and as a proof that the executive departments of the State have no wish to impose restrictions which arc not ab. solutely necessary for insuring the full amount of Duty to which Malt is liable. Beyond this, the fair dealer can have no wish, and those who at tempt to evade the payment of the full amount of Duty can have no claim to consideration. The letter from Mr. FRANKLAND LEWIS is written i n a liberal and proper spirit, and as it admits the justice of the Memorials from the Malt Trade, by modifying many of the provisions of the Act, we must conclude that its preamble, which details the progress of the Bill, is intended to prove that it was not hastily or carelessly framed by the Revenue Department, nor passed by Parliament, rather than to justify all the re- strictions and regulations which it had established a trade of much importance throughout the whole country. !mime Papers to the 18th, and Montreal a the 22d of September, hare been received at the North and South American Coffee-house, from which we make the following extracts : CANADA ELECTIONS,--NeaS;eit Quebec Gazette gives a list of the recently elected Members of the Provincial Parliament, with a designation of their political character; of the fifty Members, forty-six are opposed to the Executive Administration of the Province, or that interpretation of the Constitutional Powers of the Assembly which caused the late dissolution of the Provincial Parliament by the Go vernor-in-Chief. The number of Members who support the Administration, which in the last Assembly wes nine, isfrre duced to four. Four members are chosen for Quebec, four fur Montreal, two by the Borough of Three Fivers, one i?e ea c h, and the rest two each.

The Russian squadron, which lately arrived in the Me diterrancan, has cast anchor in the harbour of Palermo. FROM THE LOWER ELBE ; OCT. 10. We hear a great deal af negociations carrying on at this moment in a great capital, and the object of which is stated to be the same as that of the negociations which produced the treaty of London, of 6th July, namely, the measures to be adopted for the purpose of ensuring permanent peace in the East. But this time, it is added, not only all the great European Powers will take part in these measures, 'but that also some of the Maritime Powers of the second order, such as Sweden and the Netherlands, will be in vited to join in therm, doubtless because their political and commercial interests are as much affected by the question of the affairs of the East, as those of the four great Powers. The first impulse to these negociations has been given, it is said, by a great northern Court, which has represen ted to its allies the intufficiency of the measures stipulated by the treaty of London, in case they should not attain their object as mere demonstrations, and .that it really should become necessary to carry them into execution._... Now as the situation of affairs in the East becomes more critical, great hopes are entertained that the new nego ciations will soon lead to the attainment of the object, especially as the Court in question is urgent for a speedy conclusion, and gives the choice of an alternative, which seems to exclude all delay. MUNICH, OCTOBER 12. • Her Serene Highness the Archduchess Sophia of Austria has arrived at Teg-ernsee on a visit to her mother the Queen Dowager of Bavaria, accompanied by the Princess Maria, her sister, who has passed some time with her at Pyrawarth and Vienna. It is said that the Brazilian Colonel Delhoste will soon come here from Vienna. All the accounts from Vienna are favourable to peace. TRIESTE, OCTOBER 9. By the Captain of a ship, which has attivel to-day in twelve days from Modon, we have a confirmation of the news that twenty-two English and French men of war are cruising before Modon and Navarino, to watch the Egyp tian and Turkish fleets. Immediately on the arrival of this fleet, Ibrahim Pacha had landed the troops, and replaced them with others that he had in readiness, in order to proceed to attack Hydrt. When some of the ships had already left the port, the En glish and French Admirals paid them a visit, and in con sequence of the conference, the above ships were recalled into the port. • Ibrahi;n Pacha afterwards returned Admiral de Rigny'a visit, and was received with a salute on his arrival on board the Admiral's ship. At the time that the Captain above mentioned left Mo-• don, the Turks were still continuing to provision their fleet, and to embark their troops, which they said were in tended for the attack on Hydra. aletalliques, 91i ; B an k Sh ares, 1,079. VIENNA, OCT. 11. WARSAW, SEPT. 30. The favourite plan of the late Emperor Alexander, to facilitate as much as possible the internal, communications, and to contribute to the convenience of travellers, is now carrying into execution by his successor. All the post and commercial,roads are to be improved, and made like the best causeways, where this has not already been done. At every post station there are to be convenient post chaises, built on a plan to be prescribed by ,the Government, and the post-houses are to be so fitted up as to afford travellers all requisite accommodation. These operations have al ready been commenced in Livonia and Courland. As the expenses are borne by the landowners, the Government de signs to indemnify them by the reduction of some taxes. MATENCE, OCT. 1 5 . The Rhine is now so low that the steam boats cannot come up to this city, but only to Coblentz. Steam boats now set out daily at six o'clock from Cologne to Cobleotz, and from Coblentz to Cologne. His Majesty's packet brig Redpole has arrived with a South American Mail; she sailed from Rio Janeiro on the 19th August, from Bahia on the 4th September, and frbm Pernambuco on the 10th : The _Mario Pluminclise, from the 11th to the 17th of August inclusive, contains no news whatever relative to the war, or the negociations with Buenos Ayres, nor even any allusion to the subject. The papers are chiefly filled with discussions in the Chamber relative to questions of local interest. are extracts : Vera Cruz Papers have also been receive, through the same medium, up to the 26th of August. Their contents are of no particular moment. Accounts from Alexandria of the end of Au gust, state that Major Craddock was personally well re ceived at Cairo; he bad dined with the Pacha, but could obtain no satisfactory answer respecting his future conduct. Nis reply i s re p or t e d to h ave been simply that the Egyp tian fleet had sailed ; and that, with regard to the further operations against Greece, he could say nothing, as he was the subject of the Sultan. Major Craddock left Alexan dria the 26th of August, for Smyrna, and is supposed to have gone from the latter place to Navarino, though it was given out that he was proceeding to Constantinople. A number of merchant vess e l s h a d b een d e t a i ne d at Al exan d ria for Some time by contrary winds, but they were expected to sail, shortly after the date or these letters, for Marseilles. The health of the Princess AUGUSTA con- Cayes gradually to improve ; her Royal Highness is not, however, sufficiently recovered as to be able to leave town.

C.ANNlNG.—Bartolini, the celebrated sculptor, of Florence, has written to a Nobleman in this country, to propose that a vase, which he was engaged iu e xecuting, in honour of th e memory of Napoleon, migt be appropriated to the memory of Mr. Canning. The vase is unfinished; and as the devices with which it was intended to decorate it were not sculptured, ornaments suitable to the character and fame of Mr. Canning might be added. Bartolini's letter bears a prior date to the advertisement of the monument projected by some Noblemen and Gentle men in this country. His proposal is, that a thousand sub scribers, at two guineas each, should be entered as candi dates for the vase, and that it should be disposed of by lottery. The vase is twelve feet in height, and upwards of forty in circumference, and is described by those who have seen it, even in its uncompleted state, as a beautiful piece of sculpture, worthy the reputation of the eminent artist entrusted with its execution. This information may serve as an acceptable suggestion to those who take a lead in the national monument intended to be erected in honour of Mr. Canning. W.

Letters are now transmitted from Montreal to Quebec, and answers re ceived, a distance of 300 miles, in the space of 44 hours. Licut.-Colonel Bouchette, Surveyor-Gencral, . had re turned from a tour of survey on the eastern'part of the dis trict of Quebec. We understand he has collected much useful, statistical, and general information, which we,hope will be given to the public. The Colonel was well re-• ceived, and met with every assistance from Seigneurs and Gentlemen of the Clergy, in the execution of the duty on which he was employed. Colonel Bouchette reports the existence of a deep and extensive bed of iron ore, of a superior quality, in the parish of Saint Urban, Saint Paul's Bay, which from its vicinity to the city, being only twenty leagues distant, promises great advantages for the future establishment of forges.— The Surveyor-General will immediately proceed tb the western part of the Montreal district, on a similar mission. Captain Bayfield, of the Navy, whose arrival we an nounced, is appointed with Lieut. Collins, to survey the St. Lawrence; for this purpose a fast-sailing 'schooner has been hired for three years, to be in readiness to commence on the 20th May next: The survey, we suppose, will ex tend to the Gulf, many parts of the river below the island of Orleans, and part of the North Channel, as far as the Saguenay, now little known, although, during the posses sion of the colony by the French, it wag practised is the only navigable channel. From Saguenay down wards, the north shore offers many difficulties. The shoals extend several leagues out, and many ship wrecks have occurred on them. A complete and correct chart is much called for ; and, from Capt. Bayfield's abili ties, we are warranted in expecting such a chart. This survey will afford the province an excellent opportunity of obtaining information for the placing light-houses on the river, which the importance of shipping intereste, and the complaints, now make the more necessary. It is reported in Canada that a discovery has been made that four men had found a silver mine in Canada, in the Upper Province, which they have worked for the last two years with profit and advantage. Three of them are Ame ricans, and one an Englishman. The secret was divulged in consequence of a dispute between the parties. The Canada Land Company have given notice that they intend to expend 45,0001. in opening roads and making other public improvements on their immense tracts of land, By the London line of packet ship Columbia , Captain DELANO, papers have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house, from New York to the 3d inst. The following LA GUAYILA.—By letters from Caraccas, it appears General Pan has sent away the Editor of the Golebri, who had become offensive to him by his writings. Pace assumes authority as Supreme Chief of Venezuela during the absence of Bolivar, who has gone to Bogota, and was determined to preserve every thing in the order in which it was left by Bolivar. • Considerable sickness exists in Pensacola, and many sudden deaths have taken place, arising from fever. We learn that the Conventions between Great Britain and the United States have been received at the Depart ' ment of State, which were concluded and signed in the early part of the last month, a few days before Mr. Canning's death, by Mr. Gallatin and Messrs. Grant and Adding. ton ; by one of them, the third article of the Convention of 1818, which stipulates the joint occupation 'of the country beyond the Stoney Mountains, is continued ; and by the other, the Commercial Convention of 1815, which was continued by the above-mentioned Convention of 1818, is further continued, the duration of the Convention of 1818, having been limited for ten years, which would have ex pired on the 20th October, 1828. On that day the exist ing Commercial Convention, and the article respecting the country beyond the Rocky Mountain, would have terminated,' but for the recent Conventions. They are now. to continue indefinitely, as to time, each party reserving the right to put an end to either of them upon twelve months' notice given to the other party. A severe shock of an earthquake took place at La Guayra, on the 2d - September. FROM ST. THOMAS'S.—The accounts from this Island continue to be of the most melancholy nature ; the gale of the 21st August is stated to hare been more violent than that which took place in 1772 ; the injury dome to agri culture is of immease extent, owing to the destruction of the cane, which had been very promising ; the damage to the buildings bad also been great. Advices from St. Kitt's describe the storm as being dreadful; in con sequence of the injury, the Commander-in-Chief of the Island of St. Kitts, Nevis, Anguilla, and Virgin Islands, had issued a proclamation, dated the 27th of August, from which it appears that vessels of all nations will'be admitted for the term of three months from that date, loaded with lumber and provisions of all sorts. MEXICAN SQUADRON.—It appears Commodore Porter had been ordered by the Collector at Key West to leave that. port, and it appears he had sailed from thence fur Pensacola ; the Spanish blockading squadron had pre viously left for Havannah. Commodore Porter is at the Bay of St. Louis or New Orleans. These papers contain long accounts of the late dreadful gales on the coast, and the melancholy destruction of ships and property in conse quence, SIIIPPING INTELLIGENCE-014i: FROM LLOYD'S.
