in, and when the,battle was over, Clough said to Heys, " Now, Tom, I'll give thee a go." Heys declined fighting, but Clough would fight ; and at L i st Heys pulled off his coat, and they had a round. Clough's mother jumped upon the table, and said, My son Torn shall fight Heys for a sovereign of my money." Some of Clough's friends came up, and made a wager. Heys was unwilling. I have known Heys above live years. He was always a quiet peaceable lad. We were of the same trade, 4nd worked together. After the engagement to fight, he kept at his work every da y till the fight, v,bieh was postponed to the 21 st of May, in order to train Clough up. A great deal of money was betted upon him. Heys never one day quitted his work, end wished to let the fight drop. Cross-examined.—Heys is a baker. The fight was for 3/. a-side. Thomas White, a friend of Clough's, was at the Peel's Arms on the 30th of April, and confirmed Wakefield's' testimony. Clough on that day told witness he would beat Heys. Clough's mother wanted the fight to go on, but Heys wanted to avoid it from first to last. I saw the fight. Clough's fa ther was there, and betted money in the ring. Clough's mother said at the Peel's Arms her son should fight Heys for a sovereign of her money, and she'd he -- if he would not lick Heys. The fight was a fair stand up fight. Mr. Justice BAYLEY.—The blow given was, in law, the blow of all who encouraged the fight : it was the blow of the seconds and bottle-holders of each party, and of all who stood round and en eourEiged them.—Verdict.--All " Guilty." His Lordship said he should consider about it : the betting made it a very serious case. The Attorney-General (Sir James Scarlett) has just arrived in the town. He is, we understand, specially retained in the cause of " Heathcote against Fletcher," relating to the Irwell and Mersey navi gation. ,John O'Connor and Patrick .Cain were indicted ;'or a burglary in the dwelling-house of Robert Roskell, at Gateacre, five miles from Liverpool, on the 27th of June last, and stealing thereout a quan tity of plate.—Verdict—Both " Guilty." Josiah Sutton and Patrick C'rayton were indicted for a burglary in the dwelling-house of John Jenkins, at Tonge-with-Haulgh, on the 25th of July, and stealing thereout a cloak, a sheet, a pair of boots, And several other articles ; and Ann Boardman was Indicted for receiving the goods, knowing them to be stolen: --Sutton pleaded " guilty." THe' servants of Jenkins proved that the house via.; made safe in the evening, the nursery-window was open in the morning, and the things were gone. They were worth from 201. to 25/. One of the servants was alarmed in the middle of the night by the barking of the dog. Verdict--- , Crayton " Guilty ;" Boardman, " Not GuiltY." SWALLOW ACAINST HARRISON. Thi4 was an action for goods sold and delivered. Mr. Sergeant Canss stated that the plaintiff was a manufacturer of twist at Oldham, and the defen dant was a merchant at Manchester. They had had several dealings—the defendant buying and the plaintiff selling twist. Early in the present year, ;be defendant suggested it would be a good specu 2ation to send twist to Hamburgh : and he offered to sell twist at Hamburgh for the plaintiff on com mission. On this footing a consignment was made, and the twist was sold at Hamburgh. The plaintiff Then sent the defendant 300 bundles more, to be consigned to Hamburgh; but the defendant after wards informed him there was bad news from Ham burgh; it WOuld not be right to send the twist there and he had better take it back. The plaintiff accor dingly sent his son, who received 200 bundles, but was told that the defendant had disposed of the other 100 bundles, and was desired to make out an invoice for them at 15d. per lb., and informed that he should be paid if he called in 14 dayg. Joseph Swallow, son of the plaintiff, delivered 300 bundles of twist on the 12th of March, - at the defendines warehouse, in 'Manchester_ Ha watts-to: get them Ixtck on the 18th of March, and received bundles, iJie defendant telling hip that he (the defendant) had disposed of the other 100 bundles, and that the plaintiff must make out an invoice at 15d. per lb. The plaintiff made out the invoice, And witness delivered it. The amount was 31/, ss, Verdict far the plaintiff—Damages, 31/. ss. James Rayner was indicted for stabbing Joseph Burette% the overseer of the parish of Ashton in 2•Takerfield, with intent to kill or do him some g rievous bodily harm. Mr. COURTENAY, for the prosecution, called Joseph Bnrchell, who said he was overseer and special constable of the township. On the 22d of April last he was at the house of Henry Byrom, where there had been the letting of an estate, and saw Lawrence Harris and the. prisoner. He had been betting the examination of a young woman, to get aT► oi :der of affiliation against Harris. The pri soner said, witness had made himself —4-- busy about it, and e., as a scamp and a scoundrel. Witness replied, he had aOY done his duty. The prisoner again called him a ses.mp and a little scoundrel, kept I s repeating his abuse , anoaid he would put witness out of his office. Witness ti.. - dd him it was not in his power, for he was not a lay 1 - 2 aye r, a nd bade him sit down and be peaceable. The i ririsoner would not sit down, on which witness stood s::), and a man named Hart separated t hem. The p,:isoner shortly afterwards got up, and gnashed his teeth At him, and pushed him. 'Witness pushed the prisoner 1 in return, and he fell upon some person's knee. He got up and made at witness, who caught hold of him by the collar, and threw him down. Witness then founds himsel f cut under the left eye, and hurt in the right win. Witness called out, "I am killed, he has rinirdeies 4 me," and swooned away. On corning to, he fourLd himself sitting on a chair, and _some persons washing' his eyes. Witness demanded the - instrument he had been stabbed with. The prisbner said he had given It to Mrs. Byrom, who would keep it till it was wanted.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Gazette de France, dated Sept. 5.) PARIS, SEPT. 4.—We lately published the result of a comparative view of the number of vessels from foreign pests, or from the colonies, which en tered the ports of France daring the years 1825 and 1826. To-day the ilftmiteur gives the list of the vessels that have sailed, so that the reader may judge of the whole extent of our maritime commerce during these two years. We see, by this table, that the exports by sea to foreign countries, during the year 1826, exceeded those of 1825 by one-fourth only, whereas, the ex- cess to our colonies is nearly ore-fifth. Comparing this table with that of the imports, we find that the increase of importation has been chiefly advantageous to our great towns, Bordeaux, Marseilles, Havre, and Nantes ; whereas, the in crease of exportation has chiefly taken place in ports of the second order, such as Bayonne, La Rochelle, Brest, Cherburg, and Abbeville. This circum stance seems to be not indifferent; it shews, in fact, that our great trading ports preserve all their im portance by the increase of the importations, and proves, at the same time, by the more active part which the secondary ports take in the exportations, that there is a great improvement in the industry of the country about them. Recent accounts from Constantinople announce the return to the city of General Count de Fernig, brother-in-law to Count Guilleminot, his Majesty's Ambassador to the Ottoman Porte. General Fernig, who arrived there with him last year, has returned from traversing Egypt to the Frontiers of Nubia, the isles of the Archipelago, and Greece, where he had the grief to witness the fall of the Acropolis, and the dreadful cruelties perpetrated by the barbarians on the Philhellenes who fell into their power. Returning to Smyrna in a French vessel, he passed through Natolia to reach Constantinople by way of Brussa. At the moment he was entering the port he had the good fortune to save the life of a Turkish girl, daughter of a person of eminence, who had just fallen int• the sea and was carried away by the current. This act of humanity made the stronger impression on the Mahometans, as Count Fernig himself was exposed to great danger, but it did not astonish the Europeans of different nations, who recollected that the same French Ge neral, when Governer of Barcelona, in 1816, threw himself, almost alone, when the sailors refused, into a slight boat, to save a Sardinian ship that was on the point of destruction, during a violent tempest. The Notizie del Giorno says, that the Turks and Arabs are constantly observed and harassed by a small Greek corps, which occupies the defiles. Ibra him Paella has been obliged to retire to Motion and Coron. As he was in want of provisions and am munition, he resolved to buy some at Zante, and had sent for that purpose two European officers, with several Egyptian ships of war, to guard the convoy. This is the flotilla which Lord Cochrane attacked. The few details of the action, and the capture of the corvette and schooner, agree with those we extracted from the Austrian Observer. (From the ConstitutionneL) (FXTRA CP OF & PRIVATE LETTER.) LISBON, Aua. 18.—The Dictatorship pursues its lostile march. The Government Gazette published the day before yesterday (the 16th), 1. - A decree of the Regent, pronouncing the resignation of the excellent Bishop of Algarves, a Peer of the Realm, from his place of Minister of Justice and Ecclesias tical affairs. The retirement of this good man has not been accompanied by those benevolent expres sions of consideration which, in Portugal, are usually given to Ministers who retire. The vacant office has been given, ad interim, to Don Antonio de Car vallio, Minister of Finances. 2. Another decree, which dismisses abruptly, and with disdainful bre vity, Don Antonio Manoel de Noronha from the functions of Minister of the Marine, which has been confided, ad interim, to the Viscount de Santarem, Minister of the Interior. It was• imposSibliLta. - don the .thshOp of ArgiiVes and M. de Noronha, for not having suppressed the expressions of their grief for the disgrace of General Saldanha, and for having more recently, in unison with the minority of the present Council of State, maintained that it was proper to respect, and cause to be executed, the decrees of Don Pedro I V. (PRIVATE CORRESPM,IDESCR.) BARCELONA, Ace. 27.—Although the administra tion of the police has passed into the hands of the Apostolics, yet the wishes of our warlike Catalo nians are not yet satisfied. They say that they will not lay down their arms until the Government shall have re-established the Holy Inquisition, and ba nished all those who filled any office under the Cortes. Jep del Etangs is besieging the fortress of Berga ; and it has even been rumoured that he has succeeded in getting possesSion of it. Our au thorities have not, however, received, that I have heard of, any dispatches on the subject of so im portant an event. They are not, however, ignorant that this chief of the rebels has raised the moun taineers as somatenes (companies of armed men, raised by a province for its own defence). More than 3,000 men, armed and unarmed, already sur round the town. Our authorities have also learned, that the commandant of the fortress, in order to in crease his forces, which are insufficient for its de fence, has taken the precaution of arming all the inhabitants, who formerly served as national militia, under the banners of the Cortes. It is certain that if the 'place does not receive speedy succour, the garrison will be forced to open for itself a passage by force, if it be at all able to pierce through the ranks of the enemy. • I told you lately, that the manufacturing town of Tairasa had been put in a state of defence. Gene ral Romagosa has just made a representation against the measure. That General thinks that the remedy may prove more dangerous than the evil itself, see ing, sap he, that the inhabitants of that town for merly showed so great a devotion to the cause of the Constitution, and that from such a measure may flow most disastrous consequences. Sapires, better known by the name of Caragol, is making progress also every day. The check which he sustained on the 16th instant near Piera, by the movezble column of the 10th of the line, under the orders of Don Julian Losada, instead of weakening his band, seems to have given it new strength. The loss of men killed and wounded in the melee, has been repaired by an accession of two hundred fresh recruits. From the environs of Vich to those of Barcelona, nothing is seen but a crowd of small bands scattered abroad like so many swarms of bees. A company of the 3d regiment of infantry of the line, which was marching yesterday to Grepellers, had several of its men wounded on their route. This recalls the disastrous times of the war of independ ence ; for it was thus that the French columns, vho in this province traversed - the roads in every sense, saw their. soldiers fall, without discovering the aggressors, who, concealed behind the bushes and in the forests which bordered the roads and wherever they could escape notice - , sacrificed their Victims with impunity. At Olet the rebels are organising, at this moment, a numerous baud, with the most per fect security. It appears that the horses of the which have been up to this date re sdpile;gcteendcet)s; the rebels, are no longer secure from their attacks. -Yesterday they carried off a relay of six horses. The day before yesterday the third light regiment directed its march towards Gerona. in Arragon, on the side cf Huesca, an individual named Tena is scouring the country, haying under his an Catalonia. O n t h e s ide of which he has organised on the orders two bands , same footing as those Segorleo, in the Kingdom of %nleticia, there is also _another band. As these two proviacea have been left without defence, by the absence of troops, it is p fear e d, and not without foundat ion, th at these ba nds, which augment every day, may renew in these ro vinces the disorders and ex cesses which afflict Catatonia. (From the Quotidienne.) (PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.) BARCELONA, 'AUG. 27.—Three columns of 600 Men each, infantry and cavalry, are organising at this moment, and will speedily march in pursuit of the rebels. General Manso will go at the head of the first corps, and the two others, which will act under his orders, will he commanded by Colonels Baza and Torres, the former of the 3d Regiment of Light In fantry, and the latter of the 10th Regiment of the Line. The day before yesterday some troops of the first of these Regiments took the route of Gerona. Jeps del Etangs is with his band in the environs of Berga. That rebel Chief is anxious to get pos session of the town ; but, though he has called to his assistance a number of the mountaineers of the environs, yet, up to this date, his attempts have been fruitless. The efforts made by the rebels to get into the town of Tarrasa have all been useless. They have been repulsed in every case ; that town is in a good state of defence. The Captain of the 3d Light Regiment, M. Velin, having lately fallen in with the band of Ballestra, near Calella, that rebel retreated to the mountains, although Captain Velin had none but his company with him. (From the Constitutionnel.) General Gourgaud has addressed to the Editor of the Constitutionnel the following letter, in reply to what he alleges to be certain calumnious -re flections upon his character,' in the work of Sir Walter Scott:— "'I was travelling," he says, " in the south of France, when intelligence of the odious imputations which are directed against me by Walter Scott, in his last romance—the Life of Napoleon Buonaparte —brought me hastily to Paris. I have read with indignation the pages in which an endeavour is made to sully my character. If I reply to them, it is be cause calumny is not always effectually oppciiiit with the silence of contempt. Selected, I know not why, as the chief victim of an infernal conspiracy, the perusal of the chapters relative to the captivity of the Emperor Napoleon at St. Helena, has disclosed to me the object of the author, and the plan which has been traced out for him. The general exclamation which burst forth in Europe against the atrocious treatment exercised by order of the English Ministry towards the greatest and the most honourable of their enemies, has made them feel the necessity of endeavouring to get rid of the odium which attaches to their acts. The author of Paul's Letters has been instructed to prove to the world that all the rigour exerted against the illustrious prisoner is excused by the ne cessity of preventing his escape. These projects of escape, and the absurd means of executing them, related so complaisantly by the apologist of the English Ministry, are a fiction. The Emperor Napoleon never had a design of flying from St. Helena. If he had ever really entertained such an intention, his conduct would have been altogether different. He would have sought to conciliate Sir Hudson Lowe, not by promises, or honours, or money, but by his seductive manners, the charm of his conversation, and the irresistible power with which genius is endowed. The interest which the captive hero could have inspired into his keeper, would have given birth to confidence, relaxed the severity of precaution, and multiplied the oppor tunities of escape; courage and fortune would have done the rest. The desire of surreptitiously leaving St. Helena possessed Napoleon so little, that he never even amused his imagination with forming projects of escape. Entirely occupied with the idea that the force of circumstances would in the course of time recall him upon the scene of the world, he employed himself in calculating upon the probabilities of it, without foreseeing that death (and what a death !) would so soon prevent its realization. Napoleon, in order to show his resignation and submission to the humiliations and quirks of a restless and tyrannical supervision, pointed out himself to Admiral Sir George Cockburn the most effectual means of dissipating the apprehensions which his flight inspired. It consisted in forbidding the de parture of any vessel until the presence of the Illus trious captive at a certain point of the island was . • ascertained. strated, I return to the infain — ous charges of the Ong lish author. He represents me, not in the precise language of an honest and conscientious writer, but with the reservation and the insinuations of an ex perienced calumniator, as a man who put the Eng lish Government upon tracing the numerous means which the prisoner had of escaping, which was the indirect cause of the rigorous system adopted to wards him. I shall not condescend to inquire what interest I could have had in manifesting such an excess of in gratitude towards, that great man, whose regard for me constitutes the glory of my life. The best refuta tion of such an odious supposition will be a full die closure of all that passed. During the whole of my sojourn at Longwood, nearly three years, I never had any intercourse what ever, direct or indirect, with Sir Hudson Lowe; it never happened that even upon a single occasion exchanged a word with him. During these three years, the system of surveillance in regard to the Emperor, appeared to him to have reached the acme of cruelty and outrage, especially in 18162 upon the removal of the Count de Las Cases. It is therefore positively false that any indiscreet com munications of mine could have given rise to the oppressive measures established in 1815. My departure from St. Helena was occasioned neither by a desire to see my family, nor by the state of my health. The alleged liver complaint was but a pretext on my part. I had dedicated to the un fortunate Napoleon all nip affections, all my inte rests; and at St. Helena my sole ambition war to die for him. But no matter what was the reason of my depar ure, I quitted Longwood on the 15th of February, 1818. It was at this period only, and during the prepa rations for embarking, that the Governor and Mr. Sturmer talked in my presence concerning the Em peror, who interested every one there, and was the great subject of conversation. I know not the par ticular turn given in Sir Hudson Lowe's despatches to the matters w hi c h I h a d to s t a te or reply to in these c onversat i ons : b ut I fi n d t h e i r m ea ni ng dis gracefully mispresented in the extracts which have appeared by the English romancer. Although I was placed in a situation of as much delicacy as difficulty —although I was condemned to negociate (a des menagemens) with those to whose entire discretion the illus triousiTti surrendered : yet I never , as Walter - S cott i ns inuates, purchased my safe return to Europe by a wor d unworthy of me. It being th e we ll-k nown in tention of Napole on not to escape, it was natural f or opinion of upon f the inutility of captive; but neit her Sir Hudson Lowe, nor me e e t e e x declare cessi%e franklyprecautions iny l any body else, had the opp ortunity of extra cting from my expressions the inferences so treacherously made. At London, I neither saw Lord Bathurst, nor any other of the Ministers. I was only suMmoned, as I ought to have been, before Mr. Goulbu rn , the Under Secretary of State. It seemed a s if he did not expect to get much out of me, for I WWI sent for wily two or three times. These were all my communications with the Eng lish Government. Soon after, that Government, applying to me, with an atrocious severity, the alien bill, caused me to be taken from my lodgings, seized my papers, and threw me into a corner of the Con tinent. There, placed as it were, in a state of social interdiction, repulsed in turn by the Russian, the Austrian, the Belgic, the Bavarian, and e ven t h e Danish Governments, I vegetated for two years, first at Hamburgh, afterwards at Frankfort, until the tears of my aged mother opened for me a passage to my native country. I now defy any person whatever to produce my writing, a simple note, or a single line, from me, which is not impressed with' the sentiments of fide lity, of devotion, which I owe to the great man who deigned to honour me with his esteem and friend ship, and to continue his benefits beyond the tomb. Of what avail, in the face of a life enthusiastically devoted to him, are the miserable insinuations, the perfidions suppressions, of a foreigner, the mad and implacable emery of France and Frenchmen t Does he hope to procure the - absolution of posterity for tesobr LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 7, 1827. In another column we have inserted extracts from the French Papers of Tuesday, and the Gazette de France of Wednesday morning. The insurrection in Catalonia is daily increasing in ext e nt and importance. The rebels declare that they will not lay down their arms until the Go vernment shall have re-established the Inquisition, and banished all those who filled any offiee under the Cortes. These conditions will probably be readily granted by the KING, surrounded as he will now be in his Cabinet by the most zealous Apostolicals. The intelligence from Greece is rather of a brighter complexion. IBRAHINI PACHA had met with a further check, and R ED SCHID PACHA had effected nothing. By an extract from the St. Petersburgh Ga zette, it appears that the Russians claim the ad vantage in an action with the main body of the Persian forces on the 17th July, commanded by Prince ABBAS MIRZA in person. The success of the Russian army is stated to have been complete, and Te Deum had been sung in the Emperor's Chapel, in honour of the victory.

We copy from the Constitutionnel the follow ing Article, relative to the intention of Don IVIIGIJEL to proceed to Portugal for the purpose of assuming the Regency under the title of his brother's Lieutenant. Whatever guarantees this Prince may give to maintain the Charter, it cannot be doubted that if he becomes actually the Regent of Portugal, all liberal Institutions will shortly Expire, and ignorance and supersti tion recover their full sway. It can he no longer doubted, that the infant Don Miguel proceeds to Lisbon, to assume the Regency there, without the consent and authority of his brother Don Pedro. This news, at first uncertain, has been gradually confirmed by the details published in the English Journals; but it ap pears that Don Miguel, in proceeding to Portugal, will have the title of his brother's Lieutenant ; and of course he has received other instructions than those which the Apostolic party would wish him to follow ; for that party invokes absolute power solely with the view of exer cising it itself. One of our Correspondents in Austria who, when he wrote to us, could not be aware of the last news that arrived from Rio at London, says, in his last from Vienna, on the 29th of August : " The unexpected turn which affairs in Portugal are about to take, causes the greatest astonishment to all those who know th e circumspect and temporising policy of our Cabinet. We could not have believed, that out of predi lection for a party, which has hitherto been protected only to be made use of, M. de Metternich should allow so de ciiive a measure to be carried, one which must compro mise with a Cabinet (in case it do not have its concur rence), which at all times has been a powerful ally of Austria, and which at this moment, more than ever, it is our interest to please. " From these considerations, it must be presumed, that it is in the sight and knowledge, and with the consent of England, that Austria is about to constitute Don Miguel Regent of Portugal. One essential fact comes in to confirm this conjecture. It will be recollected that M. Neumann, on his return from his mission to Brazil, was accompanied by an English Diplomatist. This circumstance, to which, at the moment, no importance was attached, may give us now a key to the strange conduct that we are about to adopt. " Besides, the young Prince, towards whom the eyes of Europe are at this moment directed, did not follow the Im perial Family to Persamburgh. He is atill at Baden (near Vienna); and it is said he will remain there until the time of his departure, which is fixed fur the end of September. It is added, that he will embark at Trieste in an Austrian frigate, which will carry him direct to Lisbon." Our readers may observe that these statements are cor roborated by the intelligence from Lisbon, which says that Sir W. A'Court:was no stranger to the negociations carry ing on to procure the return of Don Miguel to that capital. It must not be forgotten also, that it is to London that the messenger, bearing the powers transmitted by the Emperor Don Pedro, first repaired after his arrival from Brazil. From all these facts we may safely conclude that England assents to the changes which are preparing to take place in Portugal. An Express has arrived, this forenoon, from Paris, by which we learn that the Funds had again rather advanced. The three per Cents. closed on Wednesday evening, at 731. 45c. ; and the five per Cents. at 104 f. 55c. Letters from Constantinople to the 10th ult. were received yesterday. Implicit dependence cannot always be placed on information of a political nature, received by private channels, and what has reached us on this occasion is of so contradictory a nature, that we must wait the ar rival of the next dispatches to learn distinctly the intentions of the SULTAN with reference to the treaty respecting Greece. At the date of these letters, the substance of the treaty was fully known, and had at first occasioned great conster nation amongst the Franks: Two or three days had, however, passed off tranquilly, and their fears were subsiding. The determination of the SULTAN not to comply with the demands of the Allied Powers was, according to some of the letters,„ fully ascertairiedi_while other letters, that it is not q uite certain that his NESS will entirely reject their proffered interference. One letter, which we have seen, states positively that Mr. STRATFORD CAN NING was about to quit Constantinople, while another mentions that he had previously taken the precaution to request the Admiral to send a frigate up to the Dardanelles for his reception, but that that request had been subsequently withdrawn. From thence the writer concluded, that the Porte had manifested a more conciliatory disposition. These letters again repeat the state ment of a Tartar having arrived with an account of a great victory having been obtained by the Persians over the Russians, on the 17th of July, and of the retreat of the Russian army ; but the accounts from St. Petersburgh seem to prove that the victory belonged to the Russians. By the accounts which reached town yester day, from Calcutta, we learn that the opposition to the New Stamp Duties was rather increasing than diminishing. A petition against their in troduction, addressed to the Vice-President, had been prepared for signature, of which the follow ing is a copy : To the Right Honourable the Vice-President in Council, The humble Petition of the British and Native Inha bitants of Calcutta. That your petitioners respectfully, but most earnestly, entreat the attention of your Lordship in Council to the stamp regulation l a t e ly p r om u lgated, and which has ex cited the grea t es t appre h ens i on an d alarm among the Bri tish and Native inhabitants of Calcutta. 2. In the preamble it is stated to have been passed by the Vice -President in Council, under the powers vested in him by the 98th and 99th sec. 53 G. 111., c. 155, and with the sanction of the Court of Directors, and with the approbation of the Board of Commissioners for the affairs of India. 3. Your petitioners have always understood that the Statute adverted to, as vesting this power in the local Go vernment, was limited to duties and taxes connected with customs, and was passed for the exp ress purpose of obvi ating difficulties aris ing from the im p os i t i on of such duties and taxes, within the jurisdiction of the King's Court is India. 4. Your petitioners cannot think that the Legislature intended to give to the local Government the right of un limited taxation. They i humbly sub m i t , f or the considera tion of your Lordship n Council, that if the Legislature had intended to bestow any genera l power of taxat i on be yond the subject matter of customs specifically mentioned, such power would have been introduced by a suitable pre and wouid have be en s t r i c tly d e fin e d as to its extent. Your the exp e di enc y or ex i genc y of the measure, p am et b it l i e o , n r e e r e s it e in a g nnot think the Parliament would heedlessly bestow the dangerous power of unlimited taxation, by ge neral expressions, unconnected with the subject matter, and of dubious construction. 5. Fourteen years have nearly elapsed since the enact ment of the 53d Geo. 111., embracing periods of great public difficulty, when the country was engaged in ex pensive wars, yet no tax had ever been imposed under the authority of that Statute ; and your petitioners pray that a power which, if it exists, has thus slumbered since its creation, may not be called forth at a period of public peace and tranquillity, when they hope that the exigencies of the State cannot require its exercise, and in times of commer cial pressure and difficulty, when individuals are ill able to bear it. 6. Your petitioners, in thus drawing the attention of your Lordship in Council to the legality of the regulation rid principle whi c h it involves, cannot be misunderstood. T hey disclai m an y wish or intention to q uestion the power or authority of Government ; t hey are only desirous of respectfully conveying to your Lordship in C o uncil their opinion upon a subject of the greatest mo ment to their present and future interests. 7. With respect to the ope ra tion of the regulation, your petitioners are unable to express to your Lordship in Conn. is u t n h d e e importantstood. oil the public inconvenience, embetTassrunt, and actual distress that would inevitably follow its enforcement. S. The native Shroffs, in particular, have already taken the greatest alarm, and contemplate abandoning an occu pation which they could not pursue without ruin, under the provisions of the stamp regulation. 9. In every country such a tax must produco great in convenience in its operation, and be attended with great vexation in its collection. But, circumstanced as this country is, your petitioners avow their belief, that if the regulation should be carried into effect, commercial dealings would he impeded to a degree affecting public credit, and that money transactions would be wholly suspended. 10. Your petitioners have often experienced, and ac knowledged most thankfully, the considerate attention al ways paid by Government to the opinion of the commu nity, when respectfully urged ; and they entreat the at tention of you: Lordship in Council to the respectability and number of the signatures to this petition, evincing that it speaks the sentiments and opinions of the British and Native inhabitants of Calcutta. 11. Your petitioners abstain from troubling Govern ment by going in detail through the regulation, and point ing out the evils likely to ensue from each provision. They do not believe that human wisdom could devise any regu lation of the same general nature and character that would not, in its consequences, be injurious to the public and to Government; and the prayer of their petition is, not for the modification, but total abolition of the measure. 12. In conclusion, your petitioners declare that no measure has ever been passed or proposed by Government which excited such general 'alarm and dissatisfaction ; and they earnestly pray that your Lordship in Council will he pleased to allay such feelings, and restore public confidence, at a period of known commercial embarrassment, by an nulling and abolishing the regulation in question, and your petitioners shall ever feel grateful. Jamaica Papers to the 19th July have been., received. From the Courant of the 16th July, we learn that his Majesty's ship Druid had arrived on the 15th from Carthagena, having left La Guayra on the sth, with the Liberator BOLIVAR 2' on board, and his Excellency ALEX. COCK.. BURN, the British Minister. BoLIVAR wad landed at Carthagena, where he was received with every demonstration of joy and respect, His Excellency the British Minister arrived here in the Druid. His Majesty's schooner Union has also arrived here from Nassau, having 25,000 dollars on board. By the letters received from the agent of the packet, we understand she was detained for the purpose )f conveying a com , munication from his Majesty's Ministers, direct ing that on the question of the Custom-house duties, the course adopted by the Duke of MANCHESTER should be sanctioned until the next Session of Parliament ; and it is presumed that instructions to that effect have been forwarded to the proper authorities. In consequence of the receipt of this pleating information, a letter hae Ibeen addressed by the Secretary of his Honor to the Clerk of the Commissioners of Accounts, re questing him to lay the despatches before the Board with as little delay as possible, on the subject of replacing the subsistence and expend of the army on the same footing as before the Ist of June. A meeting for that purpose hid been called for Monday. We have received this forenoon the Age . 1434.0 fort Papers of the same date, from which w. make the following extracts. It appears by - i n , formation from all quarters, that the ,_'ULTAN has fully determined to protest against every in tervention by other Powers in favour of Gmeee:.— BUCHAREST, AUO. 17. Aecording to accounts from Constantinople of the 9th. of this month the Porte has again declared, in the most positive terms, in reference to the treaty concluded at London, between the Courts of England, Frame, area Russia, that it protests against every intervention or media tion in favour of the Greeks, and will not listen to any farther proposals of this kind. The Reis Effendi has declared himself in very energetic terms on this subject to a Dragoman of the European Legation. All eyes are now turned upon Constantinople. VIE WA S AUG. 26. The Austrian army, which may certainly be proposed As a model in respect to its internal organisation, to which it was indebted, in the most unfortunate times, for its preser vation, and in which it will always find an indestructible rampart against all the contingencies of war, is to be com pleted in the course of next month by a new system of re cruiting, which appears to be more suitable both to the service and the country than that hitherto followed. The. reserve, which afforded the soldier no advantage in his active service, the time that he was in the reserve not being reckoned as a part of the time of his service, is wholly abolished by the new ordinance. The liability to serve, which formerly commenced with the 20th year, and ended with the 40th, is now to commence with the 19th and end with the 90th, by which the army obtains an addition of men in the prime of life, and hands, rendered skilful by many year' practice, will not be withdrawn front the occupation of industry. The many exemptions whisk have hitherto been attained, and through which hardly any but the peasantry and artisans were called upon to form the army, are very considerably diminished ; thus, for instance, only those students are to be henceforward exempt who distinguish themselve by application and progress i►s their studies. These are the principal novelties of the new system which will be carried into effect in the month of September, and according to which a levy of 18,000 men for the active service is ordered. WURTZBURa, AUG. t 9., His Majesty the King of Bavaria has approved the en.. conditional renunciation made by the Prince of Leinengen, with the assent of his family, of the exercise of the admi nistration of Justice and Police in the second instance, by means of a Chancery of Government and Justice. In can. sequence of this determination, the Chancery of Justice hitherto existing at Amorbach will be dissolved, and the members of it employed in the immediate service of the State.

That was, however, the moment and the means of weakening the interest which attached to my misfortune. But I bestow too mach time upon these cowardly attacks; there is something within me which says that such calumnies cannot reach me ; such injuries as these are an honour. What justice could I expect from the venal pen and the spiteful soul of a writer, who tries to cast a ridicule upon misfortunes of the deepest kind, who caricatures the strongest tempered character, and who, with barba rous derision, accuses Napoleon of being a suicide, for not resisting the homicidal outrages, in the midst of which his noble life became extinct ?" CORFU, AUG. lo.—(Extract from a Private Let ter.)—The letters we received from Prevesa, in form us that Redichid Paella has entered the pro vince of Acarnania, having 2,000 or 3,000 men with him. The Greeks have retired to the vicinity of Ozeros, four leagues beyond Missolonghi, where they deposited the whole harvest. It is a place for tified by nature, on all sides by rugged rocks, with only a single very narrow entrance that can be de fended by a handful of men. General Rangos has the command of the troops. The son of the brave Karaiskaki, 18 years of age, accompanied by some of his father's Aides-de-Camp ( Proto palkuros), is amongst the number. Old Zongos occupies the mountains of Carpeuisir, whither all the Greek families have fled. The remainder of the Captains of Etolia and Acarnania remain in their respective positions. Since the death of Mustapha Bey, who was a dative of the island of Eubea, the Greeks have very tranquilly occupied the whole of the Eastern coast from Negropont to Mount Maurovanni, beyond Valos. These East part of Greece are so little disturbed, that they have paid a part of the contri butions lately levied by the Greek Government. A part of the Greek squadron guards the coasts of the island of Eubea, declared to be in a state of blockade by a decree of the Greek Government. These vessels have conveyed from: the islands! of Skiathos and of Scopelos, Captain Lielios, the son, to the island of Eubea, who heads the Olympiots, to the number of 600; he is a man of determined cha racter in all his enterprizes, and effected a landing at the village of Kerochori, near Orcos. He intends to take a position upon Mount Delphi. Admiral Lord Cochrane still remains in our seas ; he has only seven vessels with him, including those detached for the blockade of the Gulf of Corinth. His presence has inspired terror into the Turkish fleet, which keeps at a distance to avoid being at tacked. PRICES OF STOCKS THIS Bank Stock 3 per Cent. Red 3 per Cent. Cons. S7 334 per Cent.
