The Portuguese - merchantman Notre Dame de la Luz has just arrived here, in 119 days from Manilla, with a cargo valued at about 500,000 piasters, and the American ship The Chance, from St. Blaise, with another very rich incluing 1,150 bags of indigo. Thus our mercantile ma rine, which was already almost reduced to nothing since the emancipation of America will be destroyed by the Colom bian privateers, which compel our merchants to have recourse to neutral vessels.

This ex tract will be found in another column. Upon reading this account every one must be struck with the base and cowardly conduct of the Greeks upon this occasion, as well as upo❑ that which followed it, viz. the attack upon the Turkish fleet then lying in the harbour of Suda. This recital ought, however, to be taken with due consideration. It is extracted from the Oriental Spectator, a Paper devoted to the Turks, and hating the Greeks, whom it has never ceased to abuse. ------------------- --- His ROYAL HIGHNESS the Duke of YORK. SHEFFIELD, Aug. c27.—Tuesday last a Depu tation from the body of Loyal Orangemen of Sheffield (viz. Brothers Haywood, Gun, and Hind), proceeded to Baslow, in Derbyshire, to present an Address to his Royal Highness the Duke of YORK, their Grand Master, for his laudable zeal and magnanimous speech on a recent occasion in the House of Lords, on the Catholic Emancipation Bill; when, after a short note addressed to him by their Secretary, they were graciously received by his Royal Highness, who expressed, in a lively manner, the gratitude he telt to the body, who had thus ho noured him with testimonials of their esteem ; and assured them in return, that he had spoken the sentiments of his heart, to which he would always abide. After the deputation had withdrawn from the pleasing interview, which lasted for a con siderable time, they were again invited into his Royal High ness's apartments, to receive at his hands a reply to the Address presented to him, as inserted below :-- "ADDRESS OF THE LOYAL ORANGEMEN IN THE SIIEF. FIELD DISTRICT TO HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS THE DUKE Of YORE. " May it please your Royal Highness, " We the undersigned Loyal Orangemen in the Sheffield District, most respectfully beg leave to express our unquali fied approbation of the public principles by which your Royal Highness is so properly influenced. In an especial manner we feel ourselves called upon to offer you our sincere congratula tions on .the truly loyal and constitutional manner in which your Royal Highness recently came forward to resist the Ca- tholic Claims; measures which,_ in the opinion of us all, are positive and pernicious encroachments on the Protestant Esta blishments of the Realm, and which, it' hereafter adopted, will, in process of time, be the means of subverting the important privileges which now result from our happy union of Church and State. " Opposed, therefore, as we ever must be, to the despotic and no less degrading influence of the Church of Rome, we earnestly entreat your Royal Highness to persevere in the line of policy you have adopted, to guard us from the innovating spirit of Popish principles, and the consequent violation of that solemn engagement by which the Monarch of this kingdom is bound to maintain its Protestant purity, Protestant ascendancy, and Protestant rights. " The glorious era of the Revolution is that which we look upon as the basis on which is built almost all that is conducive to our public prosperity and private happiness. In the manly declaration of your Royal Highness, to which we have alluded, we have a guarantee, that, with your consent, the basis, at once so important and so proper, can never be undermined. It is on this account we embrace the present opportunity of un feignedly thanking your Royal Highness, and of sincerely wish ing that you may continue in the enjoyment of health, long life, and all that is essential to constitute happiness. (Signed, on behalf' of the Brethren,) JOSEPH HOLMES, Deputy Grand Master." Sheffield, Aug. 22, 1823. 1119 ROYAL HIGHNESS'S ANSWER. " BASLAW, AUG. 23, 11125. " GENTLEMEX—I beg to return my best thanks for the Address which has been this morning presented to me by your Deputation, and to express to you how truly gratified I am to find, that the opinions which 1 thought it my duty to state in Parliament, upon the question of Catholic Emancipation, arc so consonant with yours. 1 can only assure you, that they are the genuine sentiments of my heart, and founded upon principles from which I have never varied. I remain, Gentlemen, yours, FREDERICK. " To the Loyal Orangemen in the Sheffield District." Gibraltar Papers have arrived to the 9th inst. The Chronicle of the 6th gives a Proclamation by the Governor-General DON, stating that no per:. • son shall exchange or purchase provisions, fuel, or forage, from the soldiers of the garrison, as it gives rise to dishonesty and fraud. LORD DONOUGIIMORE.—The death of this Nobleman has given a severe blow to the Catho lic Interests in Ireland. Ile was a zealous and inflexible Protestant, 'nut, warmed with a love of liberty, he saw no clanger in imparting equal rights to those who own the authority of a Fo. reign Potentate ! Ductius DE BERIII.—A Correspondent, who has received a letter from Boulogne, assures us that in our account of the reception of the Duchess of BERRI we did not do justice to the loyal enthusiasm which marked the conduct of the inhabitants. It seems that such was the anxiety of the. people to possess any thing that was likely to have touched her au gust person during her aquatic excursion,that vessels wer e fi ll ed with the water that was agitated by her movements, and that the fishes which were caught within the range of her bathing are to be embalmed in honour of the Royal Visitant. The water has been placed in bottles, hermetically sealed, and la belled " Royal Berri Brine," and the fishes, when prepared for preservation, are to be deposited in the Town-hall in cases marked Ro . yal Piscatoria. There was a serious contest among the crowd to get possession of these fishes, for the purpose of retaining them as Late:, and the fins and scales which were forced off in the struggle were sold at very high prices. Even the very sands that were marked by the Royal footsteps as the Duchess passed to the sea, were collected and secured as most valuable treasures. HANirsnittc FOOTPADS.—As the perpetrators , ' of the robberies near Winchester are known, it is hoped they will soon be taken up. One was lately the inmate of a work house near Southampton, the other a labourer in an adjoining parish. One of the Gentlemen who was stopped by them, but escaped, had between one and two hundred pounds in his pOcketiat the time. They had the temerity to change the two sovereignathepublic-house piece, which they robbed Mr. M A NN of Andover of, at Shirley. Th e Loitn.CHANCELLoa has given orders that the Leases belonging to the Winchester Charities be immediately surrendered into the hands orthe , Relators.

A general rumour is spread that our Royal Benefactor, the KING, purposes to return to the Pavilion towards the close of October, and universal indeed is the feeling of gladness which prevails with us on the occasion. The Duke of York is not yet returned to th Pavilion, but his Royal Highness continues to be expected there. The dome of the Royal stabling, and other parts of that beautiful building, are under the hands of the painters. The Duchess of Wellington took leave of us for London on Thursday. The Earl and Countess of Cavan and suite, from their elegant pleasure yacht, were landed here On Friday, and arc yet remaining at the Royal York Hotel. His Lordship, in his maritime costume, was often with the elegantes on the Steyne yesterday. The Earl and Countess of Hard wicke left the Royal York Hotel yesterday, on a visit to Lord Colchester, at his Lordship's seat, Kidbrook. near East Grinstead, in this county.

Lady Galloway and daughter have re moved from the above hotel, to private lodgings. The Right Hon. the Speaker and :amily, Lord and Lady Elliot, and Sir Philip and Lady Jemima Roche are prolonging their stay at the New Steyne Hotel.--Sir Illattew Tierney, Bart. and family are arrived tbr the season.

Earl Clare, and Lady Charlotte Seymour, have arrived at Grimsthorpe Castle, Lincolnshire, on a visit to Baroness' Wil loughby de Eresby. D unLIN, AUG. 26.—0 n Thursday last, at three o'clock. his Excellency the LonD LIEUTENANT arrived in town from Malahide, escorted by a guard of horsemen, and proceeded im mediately to the Royal College of Surgeons in Stephen's-green. Ilis Excellency, with the customary ceremonies, proceeded to lay the foundation atone of the New Museum, to be built ad joining the College. The following is a copy of the inscrip tion, on a brass plate, inclosed in the stone :—" The first stone of this Museum was laid on the 25th day of August, 1325, in the t;th year of the reign of his Most Gracious Majesty, George • the Fourth, by the Most Noble Richard Marquis Wellesley, Lord Lieutenant-General and General Governor of Ireland, Knight of the Most Noble Order of the Garter," &c. 6r.c. &c. After the conclusion of the ceremony, his Excellency retired with the gentlemen of Cm; College, and partook of an elegant collation. THEATRICAL CHIT'-CHAT. Messrs. SAPIO and HORN are performing with great success at Dublin. Miss FoRDE, who had not due scope for talents in London, is a great favourite in Dublin, but has been indisposed. Miss S. i.3oorit is making a very profitable tour through Scotland, and is engaged to perform a few nights at Aberdeen. Her benefit at Paisley was an overflowing bumper. Miss CHESTER has been too much indisposed since the opening of the Haymarket Theatre to fulfil her en gagement at that place. Mrs. GLOVER, it is said, is engaged at Covent garden Theatre for next season, for the new line of aged Ma trons, which she has so successfully adopted at the Haymarket. Sir GEORGE SMART and CHARLES KEMBLE are in Germany. They appointed to meet at Vienna. Mr. KEmnLa is expected in England before the opening of Covent-Garden Theatre. Rarnsgate and the warm baths are said to have' improved ,the health of Mr. ELLISTON; so that we are not without hope that, by the period when Drury.lane Theatre is announced to be opened, this favourite of the public will have sufficient strength to resume the management. A: new farce is in rehearsal at the English Opera House, founded upon one of WAstilNGToar popular tales. MATHEWS is to be hero of it. CHARLES MATUEWS never was so successful in the country as during his late trip. At Plymouth, at Exeter, at Gloucester, and at Cheltenham, the houses overflowed each night of his performance ; and at Birmingham, his benefit night, acting in the regular drama , was , more productive than any other since the time of Miss O'NEIL. TERRY and YATES are Making great exertions to open the Adelphi Theatre with eclat. Much is expected from these. enterprising Managers and proprietors, especially as they intend to act themselves. This little Theatre will, we learn, this season include more legitimate talent in its mem bers than it has been accustomed to. WREN= is engaged, and it is probable that interesting actress, Mrs. YATES, will perform there likewise. ' NUPTIALS OF A HIGHLAND CHIEFTAIN.—Whether of a Highland Chieftain, the birth, the death, or the marriage, is attended with most expences, it ig perhaps not easy to determine. At the burial of a late laird of Coll, " 30 cows and about 56 sheep" were, as Dr. Johnson records, killed. At the birth of an heir whole hecatombs are sacrificed, nor unaccompanied by libe ral libations. And to show that the nuptials of a Chief are not uncelebrated, the subsequent extract may suffice :—" Coll, 13th August; 1825--Yesterday the nuptials of young Coll were ce lebrated here in grand style. A vast bonfire invited the inha bitants, at an early hour, to the summit of a - high hill. The .whole island was in agitation. In a short time the hill was all alive, and except itself, a ticket might be put up for island to let.' The company were'seated in the open air. The groaning tables began to be gradually relieved—mountain-dew was dealt most unparsimoniously—the warlike tone of many ' bagpipes added to the enthusiasm ; and the great cannon re ported the whole to the neighbouring islands! The bonfire was supported till a late hour, at the ex pence of an adjacent forest. It had a sublime effect at night ! The occasion gave birth to dances--to me most antic. If t h e meet i ng was pea , sant, the breaking up was merry. A NECDOTES, &c. LORD NELSON'S HUMANITY.—Lord NELSON was loath to inflict punishment, and wheu he was obliged, as he called it, " to endure the torture of seeing men flogged," he came out •of his cabin with hurried steps—ran into - the gangway— inacle his bow to the Marine General, and reading the ar ticle of war the culprit had infringed, said, " Boatswain, do your duty." The lash was instantly applied, and consequently the sufferer exclaimed, " forgive me, Admiral, forgive me :" he would look round with wild anxiety, and, as all his offi cers kept silence (when the fellow really merited his punish ment), he would say, " What ! none of you speak for him —avast—cast him off—Tack, in the day of battle remember me, and be a good fellow in future." A poor devil was about to be flogged ; he was a landsman, and few pitied him. His offence was drunkenness. As he was tying. up, a lovely girl, contrary to all rules, rushed through the officers, and fall ing on her knees, clasped Nelson's hands in which were the articles of war, " Pray forgive him, your honour, and he shall never offend again." Your face," said he, "is a security for his good behaviour. Let him go; the fellow cannot be bad who has such a Tovely creature in his care." The man rose to be a Lieutenant; his name was William Pye. HANOVERIAN SUCCESSION BILL.—It is not perhaps ge florally known that the Hanoverian Succession Bill owed its success in the House of Commons to the two \% Members for the counties of Pembroke and Carmarthen (Sir ARTHUR OrtEN, Bart. and GRIFFITH RICE, Esq). The particulars are these :—On the memorable day, in the beginning of Queen Anne's reign, when that important business was agitated, those gentlemen met accidentally in the lobby, while the Tory Ad ministration were endeavouring steal the question through the House at an early hour, when a majority of their friends attended by design, and when many of the Whigs were absent, not thinking it would come on till the usual hour. 'When the House was about to divide, one of the Whig Members, see. ing a seeming majority in favour of the House of Stuart, exclaimed, that the whole was an infamous proceed. ing. He immediately ran out of the House, almost frantic, in search of some of his partizans, to give a turn to - the question in favour of the Elector of Hanover. Perceiving Sir Arthur and Mr. Rice as he came out, walking earnestly about the lobby, lie addressed them thus with much vehemence :—" What do you mean, Gentle men ? Why do you stay here when the Hanoverian Succession Bill is on the point of being thrown out of the House ?" " When I heard that," Sir Arthur used often to relate, " I made but one step into the House, and my vole made the number equal for the Bill, 117—the Tories having no more. Mr. Rice, with great gravity, coming after me, had tke honour of giving the casting-vote in favour of the Hanover Succession ! Had it not (added Sir A.) been for the warmth of my zeal, being then a young man, this honour would have been mine, for as Mr. Rice was my senior, I might have followed him into the House." ADULTERATED SUGAII..—We are told in the Scriptures that Lot's wife was turned into salt ; and now, in our present time, we perceive that a certain worthy Grocer has indulged the Public with the news of Lots of sugar being so transformed. BABBLING WOMEN.—In the year 1457 a Proclamation was issued by HENRY the Eighth, " that women should not meet together to babble and talk, and that all men should keep their wives in their house." WHIMSICAL RESULTS.—The fashion of dividing shops now, in considerable thoroughfares, where rents are high, leads often to whimsical results. A house in the Camberwell-road, parted in this way, presented a singular appearance a few weeks since ; one side being occupied by an apothecary, and the other by an undertaker ! " This in a moment brings me to my end ; " But this assures me I can never die." [A coincidence almost as ridiculous was to be seen only a day or two ago—perhaps remains still—in Fleet-market. An un dertaker, who lets out the upper part of his dwelling, just be yond the prison, stuck his bill " Lodgings to let," upon a cof lin that stood in front of the shop window.] A PHILOSOPHER'S SKULL.—A famous craniologist strol ling through a churchyard, near town, perceived a grave-digger tossing up the earth, among which were two or three skulls; the craniologist took up one, and after considering it a little time, said, " Ah, this was the skull of a Philosopher."— " Very like, your Honour, (said the grave-digger), for Ido see it is somewhat cracked." HANTS COUNTY CLUB. WiNcnEsTert, AUG. 27.—The thirty-sixthiAn niversary of this Club was celebrated at the White Hart Inn, in this city, on Wednesday last, by the members and their friends, at which were present A. it. Dottin and W. NVynn, ham, Emirs., the two stewards for the year ; the Right Hon. Sir George Henry Rose, Sir John Walter Poolen, Bart., Chas. Graeme, Henry Masterman, T. Deane, H. Barlow, and Geo. Hollis, Esqrs., and many members excused themselves on account of absence from the County, and other indispensable engagements. This Club was founded in 1789, to maintain the Honour and Independence of the Country, and securing the sta bility of our excellent Constitution in Church and State ; and has prove.l its advantages on many important occasions during an eventful period. The dinner consisted of venison and other delicaCies of the season, with an excellent dessert, pre sented by 11Ir. Wyndham, the junior Steward, and the wines gave general satisfaction ; the utmost cordiality prevailed, and the company separated by nine o'clock. Sir G. H. Rose ac cepted the office of Steward, in the place of Mr. Dottin, who went out of office, and a much fuller attendance is expected at the next meeting. On Friday last the remains of the late Admiral Lord RADSTOCK, G.C.B. were removed from his house in Portland-place, and interred with those of his ancestors, the Earls of WALDEGRAVE, in Navestock Church, Essex. In Ashburnham Church, Sussex, are preserved the shirt, stained with some drops of blood, in which CHARLES I. suf fered; his watch, which he gave at the place of execution, to Mr. Jolts ASHBURNHAM ; his white silk knit drawers, and the sheet which was thrown over his body. These relics were bequeated in 1743, by BERTRAM ASHBURNHAM, Esq., to the clerk of the parish, and his successors, in perpetuity. At Worcester, on Wednesday, 51r. GREEN, after a successful ascent, again inflated his balloon, and for several hours was occupied in conveying persons a height of 500 feet ; the fare was ss. for each individual. Many persons par took of the amusement. On Thursday, in the evening, as a company were sitting in the 'house of Mr. Michael Ewbank, sign of the Wheat Sheaf, in Gateshead, they were surprised by the en. trance of a hare, which ran over the tables, upSetting the glasses, &c. 31;.I. Ewbank caught and kept it until next day, when he set it at liberty in a field near the Windmill Hills. About two years ago, a partridge flew into one of the windows of the same house, and was caught. A CHANCE FOR TIIE LADIES --A Gentleman named Hou ST ON, who has travelled much in Africa, in a letter from Bahia, April 7,1325, writes to his friend at Manchester as follows :—" I resided in Benin the greater part of 1822 and and 1823, and had 1 not already written more than sufficient to exiaust your patience, I could give you some description and anecdotes of that country and people which might amuse you. But I must close with an allusion to the King's domestic establishment, and which may i ,''crest some of your friends.— His Majesty is a fine noble-looking black fellow, of about 35 years of age ; beloved by his people, and feared by his ene mies ; and has yet only about 500 wives and 40 to 50 children. Ile communicated an idea to me, on which his Imperial thoughts had for some time ruminated, and which I, as other favourites of Royalty, of course praised, and that highlfr too: this was no less than the design, fraught with profound mlitical 'wisdom, of improving the blood Royal, [by adding to his Seraglio a white lady. 1 offered my services to make known his most gracious thoughts to those of ' the red I rose and the white' of my country; on which he promised to bind himself to make the said lady his only Queen, and his other wives her slaves and servants. On this we parted, with his desiring me to give his respects to his brother, the King of England, and should his Majesty be in want of a wife,, there were a dozen of the Princesses of Benin at his service." MUSLIN MANUFACTURES.—The improvements in the manufacturing of muslins appear daily on the increase. A. very few years ago the bleach ing of webs in the chain was introduced, and it is now become very general ; and dying has been successfully performed in Forrester's starching work, Park-lane, Mile-end. This novel process, which is very simple, and all done by machinery, reflects great credit on the ingenious inventor. It is a much superior and more level dye than can be done in the hank ; and, what is of greater import ance, it is a saving to the manufacturer of from five to ten per cent., according to the fineness of yarn. This department of Mr. F.'s work has been partially going on for eighteen months ; but since its commencement, he has brought it to such perfection, by the great improvements he I has made in it, that it is now quite original, and the accession of business is liberally rewarding the inventor.—( Glasgow Paper.)

Osbaldeston, Captain !toss, Lord Lennedy, and others, were not enlisted, hut those gen tlemen are upon their estates waiting for the lst of September. England won by one bird in the two days shooting, at thirty birdds each, by bagging twenty-seven birds. Midgham and Ashton killed twenty-six each, but the latter lost mnst birds out of bounds.

Uscormorr SPEtI3.—A young man, named Wilkinson, this morning ran for a bet of 201. from the White Horse, Wool.k wich, to the Maidenhead, at Battlebridge, a distance of up wards of eight miles, up and down hill, in the short space of one hour and ten minutes. THE CHAMPIONSHIP. —(Spring and Ward.)—The of Ward have come to the resolution of hacking him against Spring, who, from a late occurrence, is under the necessity of again entering the ring. The sum to be fought for is no less than 1000/., and a meeting of the respective parties will take place to.morrow. THE HARVEST. Thp corn in our neighbourhood is nearly all in, and has been saved in excellent condition. The crops are generally abundant. Accounts from various parts of the coun try also state the harvest to be nearly over, and give,n flattering account of the quality and quantity of the produce.--(Devon shire Freeholder.) The harvest is now general in this neighbourhood, and the demand for shearers is great beyond the supply. The• town criers are in requisition every morning before six o'clock, an nouncing employment at sd. per threave, besides victuals.— (Perth Courier.) Harvest in this quarter is advancing rapidly, and with the best prospects. A ,great deal is now cut in every direction ; the weather forseveral days has been uncommonly propitious. —(lnverness Courier.) A finer Harvest weather than we have had for the last ten days has rarely been witnessed. The nights are cloudy, hut dry ; the days bright, warm, and calm. The corn in this neighbourhood is now all reaped, with some insignificant- ex ceptions, and a large proportion of it is already under cover. In Perthshire, Fife, and the west of Scotland, the harvest is not quite so far advanced, but the weather is equally good, and the prospect of an abundant crop equally flattering .--(Scotsman.) We are happy in being enabled to state that the turnips in Linconshire never were looking better, and it is the opinion of the most experienced agriculturists that there will be a most abundant crop.—(Hull Advertiser.) The far greater part of the corn throughout this country (Cornwall) has been saved ; since the late rains apples have improved in size, so that more cider will be made than was expected at an earlier period. The late crops of turnips,which have been tilled after wheat, are likely to do well.—( LVest Briton.) The harvest may now be said to be completed, only a few of the later crops of barley remaining in the fields:. The conti nued dry weather, so favourable to the getting in of the crops, was most peculiarly auspicious to the general interests of agri culture. The dairy farms, which it was anticipated would suffer most seriously from the drought, have experienced the most beneficial results, the late oecasional showers having caused the grass to grow like a second spring. The grazing fields nnw pro duce excellent fed; butter is in consequence declining in price,....( Bath Journa'.)
