Act, which they set forth in Their plea and put on record, and then they pained, under it. The Plt'in tiffs, by their replication, brought the sowers f the Act before the Court. At the trial, the Judge said, on summing up, that the only question for the Jury was, was it necessary and convenient ? If they were of opinion that it was not either necessary or con venient, they might find a verdict for the plaintiffs, which Would still give the Company an opportunity of raising the question, whether they were not, even then, justified in making the cut by their act. The jury, however, thought the cut was convenient, and gave their verdict for the defendants. No applica. tion for a new trial was made to the Court above, and the landowners acquiesced in the judgment. The cut was in consequence made, and in 1803 was completed; and no one afterwards complained of it, until, with a view of making it more convenient, the dock and floating basin were projected. The Act precluded the Company from laying any toll for navigation up to Bank-quay; but tint was ruled upon these trials not to control the ge neral powers. The Company have not stopped bp the navigation at Bank-quay, nor have they done any thing that has a tendency to stop it up. War rington received its supply from the Latchford cut, and no witness from that town had been called. They paid no toll on going through Bank-quay, but the Latchford cut was so much more convenient, that all the vessels came by it ; and yet no opposi lion to the cut was made by Warrington, neither was any made by the owners of Bank-quay, or by any of the proprietors of the Northwich Salt-works. Let it be supposed that notwithstanding their Act the defendants could be convicted if Bank-quay were injured. There was no proof that it had been in jured. This was a criminal proceeding ; the de fendants were not to make out their innocence until the prosecutors had made out their case; anti would any body believe that the navigation at Bank-quay was injured when none of the proprietors com plained ? Were the Jury satisfied on such evidence as had been produced, and on the absence of all such as mig'nt have been produced, that there was a sufficient convincing ground that the navigation had been injured, as to induce them at once to put an end to so immense a property, and so prodigiously useful to the community ? The abstract principle that the diminution of water had a tendency to de _ stroy the power of the tidal water was_at iitted; it was true, a pailful or even a thimbleful of water would make a difference, but was that sensible difference ? A pailful of water taken fro;,, the Mississippi would have a tendenc ! Th- pp y , prosecutors had not proved that the feeders `:/ere always at work, nor were they. It was. admitted that during the hours the tide flowed there was no damage to the river. HOW, ',hen, could the Jury say that the river was af fected by the defendants ? They could not convict on a case of doubt; and if the case was left doubt. ful, the defendants were intitled to their verdict. All the evidence concurred in one point,—the great utility of the works to the commerce between Liver pool and Manchester. Hk had surely a right to avail himself of that, and to ask the Jury if on such light and unsatisfactory evidence they would disturb such a property. Were they satisfied that the navigation of the Mersey had been impeded at all ? If not fully satisfied on that point, the defendants were entitled to their verdict; but if they thought it had been impeded, were they satisfied the company had done the mischief, and that it was not owing to the dry ness of the season, to the Liverpool Docks, the Duke of Bridger,vater's cut, to the land-freshes, and the other causes he had stated ? Unless they were so satisStd, the defendants were entitled to their verdict. Mr. Gillbody, agent and engineer to the Old quay Company.—Th e canal is of the greatest im- Bortance to Manch e st er , Li verpoo l , and other places. efore the canal was made, the cats used to lay at neap tides for days together, between Runcorn and IVarrington. Those flats had often valuable cargoes on board, and were exposed to bad weather and to pillage. The trade between Manchester and Liver pool could not be carried on without the canal. There had been no alteration in the feeders of the canal until more water was wanted ; then another truuk was placed, which was - afterwards taken aw ay,_ and a large one was put down. All the feeders were added in consequence of the increase of trade. The Mersey was always a very bad river to navigate; it is so very crooked that no wind will carry a vessel round, and so narrow as to make it very difficult to tack. This difficulty made the cut still more neces sary. They frequently made the passage from Manchester to Liverpool in one day, which was im possible before. The canal and works are of a very expensive kind. Witness went down the river from Latchford-lock to Runcorn on the 23d of last July, and wee astonish.ed to find, after two dry summers, that the chalinel was so deep. He never saw it better than it was then. Peter Ford.—When the cut was first made, it was supplied with water by a small iron pipe at Wolston. The old feeder was very awkward; it was a very awkward passage from the river to the old Wolston cut. When the flats got through the cut, in floods, they locked into the river again, and the passage to Latchford was very difficult ; there were many shoals, one is called the Sunny Brow. The river was shoaler in summer time. The new feeder is rather mere than 1000 yards in length. It could not be made until the new Wolston cut was made. That cut is on the same level; it leaves the river above Wolston, and goes into the Paddington lock. It is much more convenient than the old cut. The tow ing horses go on the north side, and a little up beyond the Paddington lock ; there is a bridge across the canal, where the horses cross. The trunk goes across the river. John Tarbuck.—The channels have frequently vlanged. I remember a samphire bed in the river; it was about 15 rods long, but was narrow. It was washed away 31 or 52 years ago. It is now clear away. At that time the channel run on the Lan cashire side. The navigation is now as safe and more expeditious than I ever knew from Fiddler's ferry down to Western point, the entrance into the Weever. It is better for the larger vessels. We used to draw only four feet nine with 27 tons of coal, and new we draw five feet three inches, if there is water in Sankey canal. I never heard any complaints from the owners of flats. Cross-examined by a Juryman.—The channel is as good as ever it was. John Mills, Tatman.—l was the master of the Morgan for 27 years. The navigation is not worse than it use d . to b e ; t h e c h anne l s are d eeper; t h e draught of my vessel has been the same that it used to be. The inland freshes are t h e b est th i ngs f or scouring the river. James Deakin.—l navigate from Northwich to Liverpool. I have known the Mersey for 30 years. The channel has shifted to the other side. I account the navigation to be safer than it was. The scour ing of the river was from the freshes. John Leigh, an old sailor—l frequently steer flats up the river. Ido it for my own pleasure. I t hink the navigation between Warrington and Fiddler's ferry better than it was by some inches. If there were more freshes, it would be better. The river is scoured by freshes. Vessels of the same draught as formerly now navigate the ferry. It depends upon the winds and tides. Cross-examined by Mr. BROUGHAM—I am a man of pleasure.—(The witness's appearance caused a hearty laugh when he gave this answer.)— I have pleasure in helping others. I sometimes navigate in round boats. I sometimes go up in a balloon, and sometimes in a flat. It is ,quicker travelling in a bal loon. It depends upon the winds, and not the tides. Tlieboets would have now as much room to tack as they used to have if there was more water. There is plenty of room from side to side, but there is want of water, The river is so narrow above, that we can't tack. • Re-examined—__ I live upon my own property. went up with Mr. Green in his balloon, and gave him la, and I liked it as Well as any voyage I ever had in my life. `William Haddocks—We can with 15 foot tide at Liverpool, navigate a flat that draws four and a half i- 4 ss water up Bank-quay. We can do so with a 14 foot tide, when the wind lies up the river , John Clair—My father and I Welk considerable wharf and warehouses on Bank-quay. We own 35 flats, and we employ several others. We have more trade than any other individual on the canals. I rarely go with the fiats, but I always look after them. It is our interest that tire jiver should be kept in a navigable state. With the exception of the two last summers, the river is as good as ever it was ; that exception is owing to the dryness of those ennimers. The traffic has much increased, The Hannah, with 108 tons, arrived itt the ferry in April. We have vessels still la4es. I believe the tides are equally rapid - 11 , 3 'thy were 30 years ago.-- I have made no . conspiaints to the Corporation. Crossexenined—l consider that no bad effect vehatestr has taken place from the operatiOns of the Company. Mr. Alexander Nimint , —l have been much em ployed in making tide harbours. I examined the Mersey with Mr.j Telford four years ago. I have examined it since. I have ascertained the average velocity of the low water river. The water ob structed by the canal cannot produce any sensible effect on the scouringa of the river; that quantity is not 90,000 tun's a day. The trunks do not draw water the whole day, not quite 18 hours a-day. After subtracting the water returned by the Latch ford lock, the quantity of water the feeders convey to Runcorn is about 59,000 tuns a-day, or 1,365 cubic feet per minute: If that water were not taken away, the whole increase of the velocity of the ebb tide would be from 10 inches and 2-10ths per second to 10 inches and 6-10ths per second, at Bank-quay, where the water runs narrowest. That increase would make no difference in the scouring of the river. The river was scoured from other causes.— The calculation was made at IoW water, when the difference is the greatest. The channel at and near LiverpoOT is scoured by the tide-way, but the tidal waters do very little good in the upper part of the river : they deposit more than they carry away.— The company's works have done no real and prac tical hurt to the navigation of the Mersey. sre Mr. BROU GHAM cross - exam i ne d M r . Ni mmo at great :ength, upon his calculations, and the manner which they were made, and upon his experiments and his opinions ; after which he addressed the Jury, defending the Corporation of Liverpool from the accusations of the Attorney-General, that they were actuated by a wish to injure the Company. Their only wish and desire was to preserve the navigation of the Mersey, upon which the prosperity of Liver pool depended.—The Jury found a verdict for the defendants of " Not Guilty." FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCri PAPERS. (From the Gazette de France, dated Sept. U. ) HYDRA.—The Greek Bec contains the following complaint made by the Greek Captains who con:- mandcd in the Acropolis, against Colonel Fabvier, and addressed by them to the Greek Government : The respectable Government knows the answer which we gave to the first proposal made us to sur render the citadel to Redschid Pacha : it knows the Cum resolution which we then expressed, to hold ont as long as we had a grain of oats, though we should, from time to time, have had to suppress some mutinies among the soldiers, natural under circumstances. Things were in this state, when we perceived an European Commander of an Austrian vessel (Major Comer), who cried out to us from the Areopagus, that he wished to hold a parley with us. We sent to him, and learnt that he offered his services be cause he had perceived a white flag in the Citadel. The unanimous answer of our people, in conformity with our common resolution, was, that we had not hoisted any white flag, and that we had no need of any mediation. Then Colonel Fabvier, in the midst of the sol diers, stamped with his foot—cried out very loud— consulted the other Chiefs—went so far with his menaces against us that the Austrian Commander and M. de - Rigny were invited, and by their inter vention the capitulation was drawn up and the fort was surrendered. We consequently require that Colonel Fabvier shall, with us, be put on his trial, in order that our people and the world may know to ' which of us they ought to ascribe the surrender of the fortress which had been defended for above a year, and bad cost so much blood. To convince itself of the truth of this patriotic accusation against the author of the fall of the cita del, the Government may ti.ik all the Greeks and all the impartial Philhellenes, and consult the Journal of the Public Secretary. _ . Signed—the Commander of the troops, N. Kri ziotes, D. Emmorphopulo, Eust. Kazzikojanni, I. Mammuris, G. Phokas, the Dernogerontes, Stayrus, Vlachopoulo, Nicholas Zakkanzzi." The Oriental Spectator, which publishes this document from the Bee, adds, among other reflec tions, that the Greek Chiefs themselves asked the intervention of M. de Rigny, in letters signed by the same names as the accusation against Fabvier, and that these papers are still in existence. VIEN:it, AUG. 31.—The Emperor, who always appreciates good and loyal services, even after the death of those who have performed them, has writ ten the following letter to the Countess Traut mannsdorff:— " DEAR COUNTESS TRAUTMANNSDORIT—Though the advanced age and severe illness of your worthy husband left no hope of his recovery, and I was expecting, in the greatest uneasiness, to receive the melancholy news of his death, yet the loss of this good and faithful eervant has deeply affected me. The deceased takes with him to the tomb my esteem and my gratitude for the great services which he has performed, and his boundless attachment to my person. _ "What can I do, my dear Princess, to console you for such a loss ? Your known resignation to the will of God, and time, can alone afford you some comfort. " I send to you at the same time Count de Czernim, my High Chamberlain; he can tell you all the interest I take in whatever concerns you, as well as your family, and that this sincere interest answers to the particular esteem which I always feel for you, and which you so well deserve. " FRANCIS." (From the Journal der Debate.) PARIS, SEPT. 11.—According to letters from Mar seilles of September 4, it appears that hitherto only six French vessels have been captured by the Alge rines. There are, however, a great number of pri vateers, and it is to be feared, as the season advances, that commerce will suffer great losses. What is most burdensome for trade, however, is, the long quarantine to which all vessels are exposed at Cadiz, which go there even to find convoy. We hope that this war with Algiers will speedily terminate. The following are the reports in circulation on the sub ject :—Negotiations are going on with the Regency, and arrangements are making for completing the liquidation of the seven million of francs as speedily as possible ; they are treating with the Dey and his subjects on favourable terms, after guaranteeing the interests of French subjects. M. Deval is to be ap pointed Consul-General at Tunis; it is not yet known who will succeed him at Algiers. M. Guys, Consul-General at Tunis, is coming to Marseilles, as Agent for Foreign Affairs, to succeed M. Pottu. SMYRNA, AUG. 4.—.(Extract from the Spectateur Orientale.)—We can state, and guarantee our state ment, that the English frigate Ariadne, with the Pelican and Alacrity brigs, have sailed from Corfu, with orders to take possession of the rocks of Cara busa, which have long been the harbour for those pirates who have made these waters unsafe. ODESSA, AUG. 6.—Trade, which has fallen into decay here since the Greek insurrection, as at all the ports of the Mediterranean, and seemed likely to be entirely extinguished, has again revived, since it was known that the squadrons of the three Powers were to assemble in the Archipelago, in order to suppress piracy, and maintain, with that dignity which be comes these Powers, that neutrality which alone can establish tranquillity in the East. (From the Constitutionnel.) PARIS, SEPT. 1 I.—There arrived yesterday morn• ing, says a letter from Perpignan, of Sept. 1, a vesse Port Vvt:ll23;, corning horn the blockading squa r;ron off Algiers. It came over in six days, and brings dispatches for Toulon. It is supposed that the squa thou will be augmented. Catalonia is .1.'611 is a 'State of increasing anarchy rAid insurrection. Since the Duke of Berga (Jep dell Etanys) has driven tie King's troops out of his duchy, pillage and murder have become fashion able. Hostages are ever where carried off in order to levy contrib=_itlOns on families. Opulent people livfig near tile frontier take refuge in our territory, and the fortified cities arc the retreats of • the rest of the population. There arc at present 200,000 inha bitants in Barcelona. The different Governors of places know not what to do nor whom to obey. A Provincial Junta has been established at Manseta. The Marquess of Campo-Sagrado has been much embarrassed ; sometimes he has given orders for the population to arm themselves—sometimes he has given contrary orders, to please the Apostolicals, who still fear the Constitutionalists. The King's troops, however, have arrived—sore at Figueras, and some at Tarragona. Will they flea against the rebels, or swell their ranks ? It is to 14 ?resumed, that if they are sent in small parties against the rebels, they will be defeated, and will be only auxiliaries to the fifteen thousand rebels which the Junta has at present under arms, not including the bands which make war on !Inir own account. FRONTIER OF SPAIN, SEPT. I.—liere has been, within these few days, a movement among 0.19 troops in the provinces of Biscay, which are to proceed through Arragon to Catalonia. We have, however, sonic difficulty in reconciling the march of these troops with the news we have received front Arragon. It is said that a strong column of Agraviados, commanded by a Colonel, whose name is not given, have mastered Lerida. The number of men who occupy the fields of Ripoll and Vich is said to be 12,000. There are also, it is said, Agraviados in Arragon, whose rallying cry is, " Long life to religion and the King; down with the Masons and the Negroes." From Soria we un derstand that the loth regiment of cavalry, which was expected there from Almauza, to proceed to Catalonia, has put to death several of its officers. This regiment ought to have reached Soria Valle de Carol, September 2d. The news from Berga and Manreza, of the conduct of the rebels, particularly from the latter, where the atrocities committed have been great, have caused great alarm throughout the Spanish Cerdagne and Pnycerda. Their fears are not without foundation ; we hear this instant that the local authorities have received, from one of the Chiefs of the Agraviados, orders to provide for one thousand five hundred men this evening. The Go vernor has left the place, and it is not knoWn in what direction he is gone. The Custom-house officers of the Spanish Cerdagne have sent their property to Livia, to be prepared for flight. (From the Courrier Francais.) PARIS . , SEPT. 11.—We will not make any re flections on the events passing in Catalonia; they speak for themselves. We beg only that our rea ders will • attend to the news that we have taken from the Southern newspapers. The Gazette dc Lyons says, that the Carlists have abandoned Man resa, after having levied a contribution of 4,000 ounces. A detachment of Carlists went to Mataro on the nights of the 29th and 31st of August. A small detachment entered, but they afterwards went away. The Carlists are increasing in numbers every day, and there are at present no forces to op pose them. Letters from Bayonne say, an insurrec rection is dreaded at Navarre, similar to that in Ca talonia. The English newspapers arrived to-day, have all translated General Gourgaud's letter in answer to Sir W. Scott. Not one of them has made any re flections on it; but there is no doubt that this letter will be commented on, and that the discussion will turn out to the discomfiture of the calumniator. A Journal says, that a part of the Portuguese mi litary encamped in the district of Rioja is organizing into a regiment. In this district there are 9000 re fugees, and 6,000 of them ate soldiers. ,n 4pp a ut , :3,000, it appears, are to be ottutpren re to be, it is said, the guard of honour for Don Miguel during his residence in Spain. SMYRNA, AUG. 4.—Travellers arrived here on the 27th July, from Poros, say that Colonel Fabvier is quite destitute of money, and that, in order to pay his soldierN he had been forced to sell a cargo of provi sions which had been sent him from Ancona by the Cures of the Greek Committee of the Papal terri tories. Salt meat, which formed a part of this cargo, and which is very good, has arrived here. After the capitulation of the Acropolis, Colonel Fabvier addressed the following letter to the Mem bers of the Greek Provisional Government :-- " Methane, May 7 (June 25th), 1827- " Gentlemen—Having learnt from public report that there existed a denunciation against me, made by the Cap tains of the Acropolis, I had the honour to require of you that you would, in writing, do me justice against this calumny. You replied that you had received nothing of the sort ; and that as to reports, it would be better to pay no attention to them. It was in your interest, Gentlemen, that I made the demand ; as for myself, all the signatures which could possibly be added would not cause a single French Citizen to change his opinion of me ; but, if 1 had to continue to fight, I should not have the confidence of the people to lead their children to battle. Henceforth, Gentlemen, the affair is yours. Let us see if you will do yourselves such honour in the eyes of the whole world as to reward, in this manner, a man who, during three years, has exhausted himself in efforts for you."

Cooper, of Gintdhall (Vermont), has just invented a machine of great power, a model of which he is now ex hibiting. It consists of a cylinder eight inches long, by as many in diameter, with a winch, the two extremities of which are attached to a pivot. The strength of four men is sufficient to make it throw constantly a stream of water, three quarters of an inch in thickness, 120 feet dis tance, in a straight line, and more than 90 feet perpendicular height. It is said that this machine is constructed upon quite a new principle.— The inventor has given it the name of the Rota tory Piston, although, in point of fact, it has' neither piston or valve. It has rather the ap pearance of a wheel which forms a vacuum on one side, and a strong compression on the other. The volume of the water raised by it at a single turn, surpasses, it is said, that of the whole machine itself. It is thought that it will soon replace the ordinary pumps, as well as th e fire engines. A manufactory has been established for making it upon a large scale, and ag ents have been sent to Europ e , to prepare for its intro duction in England and France.—French Paper.

Morning... 3 minutes after 9. I Evening minutes after 9. , LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 14, 1827. The Paris Papers of Tuesday, and the Gazette de France of Wednesday, have been received. The charge which had been made some time ago by the Greek chiefs against Colonel FABVIER, of. his having been, instrumental in causing the surrender of the Acropolis, is again repeated, by the indignant men who had so long and so heroically defended the fortress, and who now appeal to the Greek Government that both FABVIER and theMselves may be put on their trial touching the matter. If FABVIER be nocent, he must anxiously desire an opportunity of clearing his character from so disgraceful an imputation. But we suspect very much that not only he, but the Austrians, and Admiral de HIGNY, have all been participators in the con spiracy which delivered the Acropolis into the hands of the Turks. From the whole policy of Austria, during the progress of the war, it is manifest how much she feels interested in the success of the Turks ; and should the three great powers find it necessary to use forcible means in carrying the convention respecting the ) effect, it will soon IfiTitar what side Austria favours. cee The news from Spain is only varied by the .excess of insolence exercised by the Rebels, con trasted with the imbecility of the Government. The Gazette de France, in remarking upon the . difficulties which prevented the settlement of the affairs of the East, observes that difficulties of equal magnitude interposed in the aflitirs of Por tugal, but that now, in spite of all the s i n i s t er predictions to the contrary, the Regency (21 Don ithouEr, is a settled point. If this be so, there has been A great deal of money and some blood spent on both sides to no purpose, when the affair might have been quietly settled at first by allowing Don MIGUEL the full scope of his free will, which cannot have been much improved by the imperial curb set on his bull-baiting pro pensities at Vienna. The tiger may be caged, but his natural ferocity is not thereby tamed—it only derives a keener impulse when he next riots at liberty. The blockade of Algiers by the French squa dron is a mere mockery. The Corsairs come out in divisions, as if there were no vessels to watch them, and they commit the same depreda tions on French commerce as before the blockade was talked of. If this be allowed to continue, the next time the French boast of blockading Algiers, they will be met not only by insult from the DEY, but ridicule from other nations. They should either not boast' at all, if they do not intend to carry their threats into execution, or quietly put up with the insolence of his Illus trious Highness. Extracts will be found in another column. The Allgemeine Zeitung of the 7th inst. says, that Lord COCHRANE has.gained some new ad vantages over the Turks, but adds that the ac counts want confirmation. We have no doubt that if the Greek sailors would cheerfully serve his Lordship, they would soon find their obedi ence amply repaid by the capture of the enemy's vessels. Lord COCHRANE has not yet had a naval force to work with, and people do not know h ow mu c h his daring enterprise has been cramped by the lukewarmness or jealousy of pro fessed friends, but secret enemies Taiasm, Auc. 20.—Accounts brought by ships from Zante mention new advantages gained by Lord Cochrane over the Turks ; but they seem to stand much in need of confirmation. Piracy in the Greek and lonian seas in creases in such a frightful manner, that many merchants' letters express the doubtless ill-founded suspicion that there is some connivance on the part of many captains of ships of a great maritime power. AUGSBUitO, Sarr. 6.—The Austrian Observer con tains the following from Constantinople, of Aug. 10 : The new barracks at Dand Pacha were opened on the 2d, 6,000 of the new troops, under Chosrew Pacha, were drawn up in the great plain before them. All the Minis ters and great men were present. About noon the Grand Vizir came, and soon after the Sultan himself, in a Ca lloners uniform. Aft er v i e wing the troop s , the Sultan role to the chief entrance to the barracks, where the usual ceremony of consecration was performed by the "(mans. The Sultan then gave the keys to the Bombaschi (colonel) in command, after which the troops were exercised in firing, and the whole ended with an entertainment. 1,500 men are now quartered in the barracks, which will hold 6,000. The building of the other barracks, and the re pair of the batteries on the Bosphorus, is pushed with great activity. The change in the corps of the Tepschis, by as similating them to the other troops, has been carried into effect. They formerly exercised different professions, and many of them were boatmen : this is now forbidden, and all the Topschis must either submit to the discipline of the barracks or leave the corps. New uniforms are ordered for them. Accounts from Adrianople say, that in the latter half of July a considerable part of that city, and especially the bazaar, was burnt down. By the arrival of the Slanmer packet we have received Lisbon Gazettes to the Sd instant, but they contain nothing of interest. The Princess REGENT had returned to the Palace of Ajuda, and busied herself by issuing decrees in vindica tion of her power, which she thought the people had treated with disrespect. The lady seems, like most others, to be very jealous of her pre rogatives, and rather than be supposed to slumber in the due exercise of her privilege, tries to con vince people of the contrary in rendering herse ridiculous by overstepping decorum and justice at the same time. The recent acts of the REGENT go far to confirm the opinion of those who, from the first, considered Her Royal Highness unfit to fill the high office to which she had been called. The affairs of Portugal were far too mo mentous to be entrusted to the hands of a weak woman. They required the commanding in fluence and firm superintendence of a controuling mind—and such they are not likely to receive until Don PEDRO interposes his conclusive authority. The mental disposition of both Spain and Portugal seems to be divided between priestcraft on the one hand, and indolence on the other.

Only one Number of 0 Portuguez, that of August 27, is come to hand. It contains no Portuguese news. The panic which commenced yesterday in Mexican Bonds has extended still further to day. It will be seen by our City account that the decline to-day has been nearly ten per Cent., making a fall of 151. per Cent. since yesterday morning, in the value of these securities. No positive cause has yet been stated for this enormous decline ; but it is to be feared that Mexico is about to follow the example of some of the other New States of America, and of their common Parent, Old Spain, in not pay ing the interest of her debt. John Bull has paid dearly for his pecuniary transactions with these countries, and it will• be some time, we suspect, before he touches, l ife Spanish from any of them, on account of the suns which he has been silly enough to advance on their Bonds. We received, this morning, the Journal de St. Petersburgh to the 29th ult., which contains some account of the operations of the army in Georgia, but they possess little interest. The Russians, according to their account, have it all their own way. The following are extracts NEWS FROM GEORGIA. BULLETIN OF THE DETACHED COR?S OF THE CAUCASUS. ST. PETIRSEURCH, ♦UC.

Letters from Bucharest of July 29, say that immense swarms of locusts had lately appeared in the environs of the town. Happily the corn was all got in except the maize, which it was feared would suffer much, both in that province and beyond the Danube, unless the insects should be drowned in that river, towards which they were carried by the wind, and which has overflowed the country to a very great extent.

THE FUNDS-(THIS DAY) CITY, TivELvz o' The English Funds seem to have been affected by the serious decline ofthe Mexican Bonds, and as this is settling day in the latter, and some serious differences having to be paid, particularly in these securities, the Consol market has been somewhat on the decline, although not to any great extent; Consols opened at 87i for money, and S7i for account, after which they became 87i, sellers, were buyers, and are now sellers again ; India Bonds are 93 5, and Excl4quer Bills, 59 60. This being settling-day in the Foreign Funds, the sole attention of the speculators has been paid to Mexican Bonds, in which the alarm and agitation still continue without any abatement; they opened this morning at 60 sellers, but could not sustain their price for a moment, but began to fall, step by step, until they receded as low as 52i; some trifling im provement then took place, and they are now quoted 54, / I ; in the present situation of affairs affecting this securq it is utterly impossible: to get At the true cause of the fall; some who profess to be well Re• quainted with the nature of these Bonds, and are supposed to have accurate knowledge, state that it is to be referred to the doubts entertained whether the dividend shortly due will be regularly paid ; it is usual to give 15 days public notice of this intention, prior to the commencement of the dividend (on the Ist of October) becoming due ; but this, it appears, will be in time,if given forth to-morrow, and from the well-known regularity of the house, who are at pre sent the agents of the Mexican Government, it ig too much to expect that they will lend themselves to contradict or reply to any inquiries made to them on the subject; in fact, they observe the most im penetrable secrecy on the subject. It is, however, a circumstance of a lamentable description, that if there is nothing affecting the Bonds of an important nature, that some measures should not be taken, by which the holders should know their real situation, as the present alarm is worse than an actual an nouncement of the most disastrous nature. Colom bian Bonds have been slightly on the decline to 28} 9i; Portuguese, 76* 7: Brazilian, 64 7; and Spanish 10i In Shares, Anglo Mexican Mines are 55 dfs.; Brazilian Mines, 23 5. A meeting takes place this day in the latter, on the subject of declaring a diVe dead, which it is expected will, however, if it take place at all, be a small one. Three per Cent.
