THE KING. CASSFL, DEPARTMENT'DU NORD, Sept. 26.- 1 make no doubt but your regular correspondent from Calais has informed you of the time and manner of his BRITAxNIC MAJ'ESTY'S landing . there ; he wasanxiously expected here yesterday,. and the French Government had adopted every measure which could possibly insure his -Majesty the accommodation and honours due_ to his rank. The Inspector-General of the Posts had provided this' plaCe- With an additional supply- of post 'horses, and yesterday the garrison of Bergues ,(with the exception only of the men on duty) which consisted of the 22d Regiment of Infantry, and also two squadrons of the 6th Regiment of Dragoons, marched in here to receive his Majesty with military parade. The avant couriers, which passed through this town very ea-ly this morning, said, his Majesty had slept the preceding night at Calais, and - might be expected here at two o'clock, e 7 as. The Marquess de Jumillac, Com mander.zin-Chief of the Department du Nord, passed through about one o'clock, and gave his counnands to the field officer coa' duty here. The infai'iiry then 'proceeded. to line the street, and the road about a mile in length, forming " une hale," as they term it, about 20 yards 'asunder, while the granadier companies, and the dragoons' formed the Guard of Honour. About half : past-'2. this afternoon,- his Majesty's . carriage entered the town, and proceeded through the streets at' a foot pace. The soldiers presenting, arms as his Majesty passed, then formed into file and fol lowed the carriage—port arms. When the car riage arrived at the. Post anx Chevaux, the gre nadiers presented arms,- and the cavalry rendered similar honours.• The horses' were all in readi ness ; the fronts Of all the house's were filled by ladies, and a great concourse were assembled round the post-house. There were several Eng lish present, who took off their hats, which ex ample was followed by the French in view of the Royal carriage. Admiral Winthrop , and Captain M‘Killop,R..N., were the only British Officers present, and with their ladies approached the Royal carriage. His 'Majesty immediately let down the window and bowed to the officers on duty; he took much' notice of the Admiral's fine children, and entered into conversation, with real condescension and kindness, with Admiral Winthrop and: Captain M'Killop. There was a general expression of respect from the English, of 4 God bless your Majesty ! May your Ma jesty enjoy a long apd 'happy feign.* To which the King replied, by thanks most feelingly uttered, and -.repeated obeisances. His Ma jesty looked extremely well, clear, and well bronzed by the sea breezes—pray tell your friend, The Times, this is no Court circular—his eyes bright, and he appeared in very good spirits. lie seemed evidently delithted, and surprised to receive warm and sincere congratulations in his own old english language where he little ex pected it, for there :are -very few' English resi dents here. Nine English cheers, to which the French added: a cordial- chorus, were the final salute. The Mayor and alt'lhe Authorities were present, and saluted ; and it must not be omitted, that, from amidst the French Clergy, one gen tleman steOped forward, - and, 'in' good English said, he was happy on his native soil to thank his Majesty, which he did with sincere gratitude, on . behalf of his brethren and himself, for the support and protection they had received in Eng land, and hedeVoutly prayedhis Majesty might en joyalongandliappy reign. This unaffected address caused tears to start into the Kine s eyes, while .. ; q he thanked the gentleman in the most cordial manner for his. good wishes. The carriage-drove off at a foot-pace, as if to say, his-Majesty would willingly tarry awhile, if hiS "duties did not call him .away. It was deliglafuLto think, that this fine country should be the scene of so much cor diality, which is more congenial to the smiling fields and verdure around this place, than the horrors and devastations . of war. In his Majesty's Carriage were the Marquess Conyngham,- Lord GreaSes, and Dr. Knighton.—The Duke of Wellington and Marquis of Londonderry slept here on Monday night, and set off next morning early 'for Brussels. Sir Edmund Nagle, Sir Andrew Bernard, and Lord Francis Conyngharn, followed his Majesty in another carriage. The Royal Party would sleep to-night at Lille, and would reach - Brussels on ThUrsday." The Address presented to his MAJESTY, when in Ireland, by the Itlerno-Celtic Society, was in the Irish language and character ; a translation, however, accompanied it. , Mr. CRAUFORD'S claim to the title of Earl of CnAuFolin and LINDSEY will be brought before .a Committee of the House-of Peers early in the next Session of Parliament. Mr. Alderman PIER,POINT and Mr. Alderman COLEY are the new Bailiffs of the Borough of Bridgenorth for the ensuing year, vice Messrs. BOULTON and WATTS. PEARMAN, of the English Opera House, has joined the Brighton company, where he is to take the vocal lead for the remainder of the season. COMMON HALL. ELECTION OF THE LORD MAYOR. On Saturday a Common Hall was held, for'the purpose of electiriga Mayor for the ensuing year. The hall was much crowded .by one o'clock, at which time the Lord Mayor, accompanied -by several Aldermen, and the City Of ficers, ascended the platforni. His Lordship was loudly cheered, as. were also Aldermen Wood, Waithman, and Magnay. As soon as the worthy Aldermen had taken their seats, the crier:called " silence," and the Recorder advanced, and, ad dressing the Asiembly, said they were now collected together for the purpose of exercising one of their greatest privileges— namely, that of electing a Lord Mayor for the ensuing year.— Several nanaes'would be put up, out of which it would be for the Livery to choose two persons, who would be submitted to the Colin of Aldermen for the selection of one to fill that high and important office. lie hini - self entertained no 'doubt but that the Livery would make a choice of two proper persons.— (Applause.) • Aldermen Garratt and Venablcs, the two new Sheriffs, now advanced towards the front of the hustings', and the Common Serjeant standing between them said, the worthy Recorder hav ing told them the object for which they were assembled, it now became his duty to read over to the Livery the names of those persons who were to be proposed, and out of whom two were to be chosen. Each person could be put separately, and those upon whom the Election fell would be submitted to the Court of Aldermen for their decision. - The names to be proposed were those of Aldermen M agn ay, IleYgate, Cox, and Waithman. The Crier.—" All those who axe not Liverymen must now depart the hall on pain of imprisonment."—(Loud Laughter.) The Common Crier afterwards put to the vote the above mentioned names. For Alderman Magnay there -was a very large show of hands, accompanied with considerable applause. For Alderman kleygate not more, we think, than 60 hands were held'tip, and there was some hissing. Not a single hand was .raised. ni favour of .Alderman Cox. The annunciation of Alderman Waithman's name- called forth loud cheering, mingled, with some disapprobation, and prothiced a numerous show of hands. . The Common Sergeant then declared that in the opinion of the Sheriffs the show. 9f levids *as in favour of Messrs. Alike men .Magnay and Waithman, who would therefore be returned to the Court of Alderuien, for that body to make choice of one of them to serve.in the office of Mayor. Mr. ei.„Slieriff .rAfti:INO here stepped up to address the as sembly ; but was met, on his advance, by such a tempest of hisses as compelled him, rather precipitately, to take ground en arriere. The, worthy orator was a little dashed by the sudden attack ; but he executed his retrograde movement (existing cir cumstances considered) with much dexterity. The Loliti MAYO* and Aldermen, attended by the Recorder and Cornmon Sergeant, now retired- to the Court - in order to consider of. the election of the Livery. A pnuse of some 'ininutesensued, after which (having rallied his scattered wits) Mr. Parkins resumed-his position upon the hustings. He advanced at the.pas du charge, big with porten tous ;proposition, and evi , ,lently bent to talk or die. This " dreadful' note of preparation'. however no= way intimidated the -Livery. 7`o choose between the worthy ex-sheriff's speech or his anger.;they thought the anseer the lesser evil of the two ; and,.as far as intreaty, or something perhaps 'a little stronger, could go,' they did' invite the ex-sheriff .to retreat. " Gentle men," said Mr. Parkins. (Cries o f " Off, off.") " Gentle-, Men !" (Cries of " You shan't'talk.") " Gentlemen ! (here the-ex .sheriff loat u ltis. patience) if it isn't an abuse of the term to call you so.' (Loud laughter.) Parkins tried again. (Hisses). The sooner he was heard the sooner he should stop. (Cries of " silence.") . Ile wished to propose a person as Lord Mayor. (" Why, we have two proposed "already.") 'Pro- Posed? Poh Those were Aldermen :he - would • give them a man who would till the chair better than any 'Alderman in England. The Gentleinan whom he should propose was no Alderman ' • but he was worthy and wealthy, and more over a tallow-chandler, and a man who dipped into no politiei, neither on one side nor the other. (Excessive laughter and hissing;) while Mr. Parkins went on fo picture' the -candi date of his adoption,as " one who had two gowns, and, every thing neat and handsome about him.'!: But who did the Livery think this candidate was ? Ay, there they all were 'abroad.— (Cries of " Tell us, pray.") Their rudeness scarce deserved so much; but they should not burst in ignorance—his name was Peter Piper. (Much laughing.) No, no, not Peter Piper, Peter Skipper—which was 'a better name. [Here the shohts of the audience entirely overpowered the efforts of the speaker.— He continued, however, to harangue in dumb show ; and, as he bethumped the Liveey with his words, he' bethumped the tou pee of an Unhappy gentleman who sat under him with his hat.] Unhappy Gentleman.—Pray, Sir, -mind what you are doing. Mr. Panxiss. e -Sir, you are a Jack in office. The worthy ex-sherift then ran over a variety of topics, in a speech through which we must confess our inability to follow him. His words (from the clamour) escaped us often ; his meaning (from-some cause or other) always.. We caught QC4AI - vehement complaints of ill treatment—at which his au ditees laughed; intentions never to be Sheriff of London again, —in which they seemed to concur; violent threats against those who hissed hint; and a cheering confidence of, justice from the newspapers. At length the return of the Lord Mayor and Al dermen cut the thread of Mr. Parkins's oration ; and lie re tired (evidently much displeased at the interruption) muttering, with all the breath he had left, bitter complaints against the malice of party. It is but justice to the ex-sheriff to say, that he kept his tem per, at least as well as could be expected. He smiled, frequent ly, and perspiredprofusely. Upon the return of the Lord Mayor and Aldermen to the hustings, the Recorder came forward, and announced that the names of Alderman Magnay and Waithman had been reported from the Common Hall to the Court of Aldermen, and that the latter-had s'elected,that of Christopher Magnay, Esq. ' Al derman and'stationer, to fill, the office of Lord Mayor of Lon don for the year ensuing. The worthy Alderman upon whom the election had fallen then came for Ward, and was; amid considerable applause, in vested by the sword-bearer with the chain and insignia of his new office. Mr. Aldertrian MACxAY, as soon as the ger.ewmttb.f 4 thriTi-;• vestiture had been performed 2 .9=l?.t . trtieriont of the hustings, and addressed 'the ,Lirn'Y as follows :—" Gentlemen of the Livery, in endeavouring to eXpressmY hfeh sense of the obliga tion you have conferred upon me, I am at a loss to find words for the occasion. I am aware of the - important ditties of the oflice of Chief Magistrate of this great City, and it shall be my earnest desire to maintain the privileges of my fellow-citizens. I am sure, that on - this occasion,- you will not expect from me many professions ; I shall. do my utmost to discharge the duties of the high station in which you have placed me, in such a man ner, I trust, that you will not repent of the confidence you have reposed in me. I' beg again, Gentlemen, sincerely to return you thanks for the honour you have conferred upon me..'' . The worthy Alderman was,loudly applauded. THANKS TO THE LORD MAYOR AND .THE LATE SHERIFFS. . Mr. FAVELL next addressed . the Livery. lie said, it was impossible thay could separate that day without acknowledging their tribute of gratifude to the worthy gentlemen who last year filled their high civic offices. With respect to one of them (Mr. Waldman), his long and faithful services, his uniform defence of the rights and liberties .of his fellow citizens, rendered any statement ofhiae±d 11 to their thanks unnecessary.—(Applause.) Ile siintild confine hiMself altogether on the present occasion to the.conduct of that gentlenlan in discharging the duties of his la.te, office. Ile trusted that whatever political differences :night • peeamil among the stirvcryorll would Juiffr Zia a ckaowledhiig the greatoconstitutional attention he had paid to the arduous duties of his office (applause), his invaiiable benevolence and liber ality in distinguishing the cases before him, and the honour able and intrepid manner in which he had maintained the pub lic peace, particularly on a late occasion. If as citizens they had all a strong 'constitutional jealousy at the interference of the military_ in civil concerns—if they felt that Englishmen ought to maintain the peace by the means of the civil power—if they felt such a spirit to be consonant to the true principles of their laws, they must support the three motions which he had now to submit to them.. One was to the Chief Magistrate, who had signalized hints& in maintaining the peace of their great city, the other to their late Sheriff's, one of,whom(NlT.Williams) had closely and benevolently attended to the state of their pri sons, and made able and luminous reports thereon in the course of his shrievalty ; he had also shewn the utmost liberality and • humanity to the unfortunate prisoners entrusted to his controul. (Applause.) It would be unnecessary for him to enlarge upon the motion of thanks to their Lord Mayor for his conduct in office during die ,past year—(loud applause); he had in times of remarkable ditheulty shewn the most distinguished firmness in the.maintenarice of the public peace, by the most constitu tional means, and without recourse to military aid.—(Ap- , plause.)—The worthy gentleman theri proposed the vote of thanks to Mr. Ala. tilfaithnian. .In reading that part of die: resolution which referred to the worthy Sheriff's intrepid con=' duct at the funeral eFrancis and Honey, there were some dis sentient voices ; but the applause of the great majority was overpowering. Mr. WEr.r.s =Me forward to second the motion, and request ed the indulgence of the Livery for a few minutes, while he re ferred to some infamous caricatures upon their late Sheriff, which had been audaciously. published : they were, he said, of an infamous, diabolical, and scandalmis nature, and of a descrip tion which, if permitted to pass unnoticed, must operate to de ter honourable. men from coming forward and performing pub lic duties for their fellow-citizens.—(lie here exhibited the cari cature:son which he had animadvetted4 —ln the good book they had all read, the principles of faith, hope, and charity were in culated ; but what charity, what milk of human kindness, must the scoundrel possess who could treat an upright man as this caricaturist had endeavoured to do ? Not only had the carica turist vilified the character of the Sheriff of London, but he had also held up. to-contempt and ridicule another Alderman of the city—(he did not name), who deserved well of his country' for his noble, Manly, ar.d magnanimous conduct to the late Queen, and who well deserved, not only the thanks from the Ward of Aldersgate, but of the whole British empire.—(Applause.)---He. should merely conclude by seconding the resolution. Mr. COOPER bespoke the kindness of the Livery while he ad dressed them for a few moments. He never saw so large a body of his fellow citizens before assembled in- that Hall, and he should not have ventured to trespass upon their attention, were it not that he observed some p ar ti a l displeasure at the reference in the resolution to the intrepid conduct of their worthy SherifFat the funeral of Francis and Honey. To that point alonehe wished to speak, hiwingheen by accident an eye"-witness of the particular circumstance alluded to.—(lfear, hear !) He trust ed that he was addressing the friends of liberty and justice, and thai, whatever were their political sentiments, they would lend an ear. to what was the truth ; for he had no interest in mislead ing them, as he was quite unconnected with any of the parties, and a stranger to them. But when he saw- a man grossly ca lumniated and his conduct aspersed, by. men themselves of the foulest character, it was quite impossible for him to re main silent, and more particularly when the conduct by some objected to, ought, if fairly stated, to redound to the high honour of the individual.—(Applause.)—As to the particu lar factSzthat had occurred at the funeral, he (Mr. Cooper) .had left his home tp see it from Motives of mere curiosity, and to see how - fat the When feeling was interested in the pre vious occurrence. When the citizens of Rome gave a tri umph to a conqueror, they preceded him by a symbol designating " this is the man." He (Mr. Cooper) was pleased at the pub lic funeral of the unfortunate men. (Some disapprobation 'mixed with applause.) He was merely giving his own indivi dual opinion : he was pleased at it, because it was ,putting the public in mind that one Coroner's Jury - had declared " man- slaughter," and another " murder," and the public, as the 1 funeral passed, designated as it were " that is murder." He saw, when he came in front' Of the barracks at Knightsbridge, six or seven Life-Gmardsnien rush from their barracks towards Mr. Sheriff Waithman; in such a manner as to signify that he; and list alone, 'was t object of their attack. 14e ( \ lr. Cooper) on obssreing looked out particularly fioin'the window of his coach, and said-to the friend who accompanied him, " Letup get out, for Alderman Waithman will be killed." At that time half his body was out of the coach-window, as he wished, if possible, to identify the hidiViduals. One soldier made a cut at Mr. Waldman, but soniebody warded off the blow.' It had been reported that Alderman Waithman could not com mand his horse;. but the contrary was the tact, for he was en deavouring to pioteet himself from the force of those who were evidently attempting to unhorse him, and his attitude was that of a man imploring-them to.keep the peace. Such was the real state of the transaction, and having seen it, he could not refrain from stating the fact as it occurred. He never would forego the opportunity - of vindicating a calumniated man from a false ' accusation, whenever he had it in his power th state the truth.— (Applause.) The votes of thanks to the late Sheriff's were then put and carried. Mr. IVAITHMAN, On presenting himself to _the hall, was welcomed with loud and long continued cheers. Even man (the worthy Alderman said) who became Sheriff of London might, by common attention to the duties of hiS office, secure to himself that compliment with which he (Mr. Waithman) had just been favOured by the Livery. The simple thanks. of the of ficer would be, under ordinary circumstances, the briefest and most fitting;tetrum to the honour conferred upon. him by his fel low citizens; but a Tote of thanks in his (Mr. W.'s) ease became, from circumstances, so peculiarly valuable, that he could not for bear hazarding a few sentences upon its effect; The post of Sheriff' had been, during the last year, an arduous and a painful one, it had been the melancholy duty of that officer to Witness, in twelve months, no•fewer than thirty-nine executions—a number, in the same space of time, almost Unprecedented ; and his attention had necessarily been much engaged by the repeated applications for mercy, preferred by the friends of the unfortunate culprits. There were other events - . too—events of recent occurrence— which had tended to render the post of Sheriff a post of peril and of anxiety. With respect to his (Mr. Waithman's) con duct under those emergencies, there might bee and he believed there was, sonic difference of opinion ; but all, he trusted, would concede to him—that a man was not likely, voluntarily, to place himself in a situation of great difficulty and personal danger; and that an individual under such circumstances,- having freely exposed himself to risk—was entitled to something better than aspersion and abuse-to something better than an 1 attack upon his character, failing the success of an attack upon his life. Ile (Mr. Waithman) • was satisfied that the majority of the Livery, of the country, and of posterity, would do justice to his condnc!, and to the motives by which he had been actu ated. He was angry, not at any insult offered to himself, but at the insult offered - to the Livery in his person. For himself., 'he was sheriff no longer ; he had done with the office, ;with its troubles arid its responsibilities; but he was angry at attempts to degrade the independence of that office, and to fink it into a mere pi; for pageantry and feasting. The worthy Sheriff then adverted to calumnies lately circulated against Idm. It was painful for him to obtrtide himself upon public notice ; but if he were to pass in silence the charges which were heaped upon him, he might seem to admit that they had some, colour of foundation. Attacks upon his public conduct he , wbuld never notice; but attacks upon his private character were not what he could, or what he ought to submit to. For five and thirty years he had conducted concerns tolerably extensive in the heart -of the city of London; .dnring those years, no man-had ever had the hardihood, face to face, to come forward and charge him with one act of impropriety; but now, attacks upon his public character having failed, a systematic warfare was organized against him, to ruin, if possible, his private fortunes, and the interests of alleconnected with or dependent upon him. True, he held no place within the gift of Crovernment ; no'com mission within the recall of Ministers, and therefore they could not assail him in the same way as they had done Sir Robert Baker and Sir R. Wilson ; but there was one property which he did hold—his character. He could only live by has character in trade; upon the profits of that trade himself and his numer ous family were dependent ; and an attack upon his character as a'tradesman went not merely to hurt his feelings, but actually to dePriv. him of the means of support. It was painful, he re peated, to him to occupy the attention of the hall with such to pics ; bus there was not a transaction of his life as &tradesman, not a step taken "in his private capacity, which (let the accuser come fxward)lie wasenot ready to defend. If 'open charges were made he had the means of answering them ' • but if a man's every act was to be raked up for 20, 30 r or 40 years past, what course was left to him ? His (Mr. Waithman s) enemies—his concealed enemies—had gone back more than 50 years ; they had attacked even WS 4ather before him. A more honourable man than that father had 41ever lived; but even the grave in which he lay could not shield him from insult. He would de tain his auditors no longer upon this, to him, most unpleasant subject. He trusted that even among those who differed as to his political tenets there would be but one opinion as to his private character. No man had, been more forward than, himself to invite fair and open accusation ; but there was a point - at which forbearance ceased to - be a virtue. He could not get at anonymous slanderers—at ruffians who struck and 'murdered in the dark • but their slanders had arrived at a pitch which could no longer be endured ; lie had taken legal advice, anti should commence proceedings against them, [Some interruption here took place in the-body of the Hell ; and it was said that some person wanted to.address Mr. NWaith man ; but though the individual was called for, none came for-- ward4-Mr. Waithman concluded by thanking, die Hall for having Submitted Ma Irarelean coinpany taittethat of Meg.. nay, to the choice of the Court of Aldermen. The mayoralty was an honour which he did, not seek ; still the return of his name by the Livery was a mark of kindness to a defamed in dividual ; it was an act which did honour to the feelings of the Livery, and an act which they would never, he trusted, see reason to regret. Mr. Sheriff IVrt.trlatS said that his attention, during the time he was in bad been chiefly directed to prison.duties; and he quitted his post with the pleasing reflection that he, had alleviated, as far as in him lay, the sufferings of the unfortunates committed to his care. He was aware that his political conduct had not been satisfactory to all ; but he defied the boldest to say that he had done any thing to barter away the rights of the citizens of London. , At the commencement of his career as Sheriff he had foreseen that' he should find abundant employ ment in the superintendence of the raols : and, feeling that his colleague was more versed in political matters than himself,, he had requested at once to,be relieved from interference upon such points. The worthy Sheriff concluded by - offering his thanks to the Livery fat the honour they had done hiM, and re tired amidst the applause of the hall. . , Mr. WAITIIMAN laid before the hall copies of his corres pondence with Ministers upon the subject of the affair at the funeral of Fraricis and Ildney, in order that it might be entered upon the journals of the Livery. The vote of thanks to the Lord Mayor having been put and carried unanimously, The Loan MAYOR came forward. if he had felt gratified (he said) upon his 'election as Chief Magistrate, how much more elate must he feel at the present moment, to find, on resigning, that his services had been acceptable, and that,his conduct had given satisfaction to those by whom he had been Arisen.. The resolution just carried thanked him (the Lord Mayor) for hav ing omitted to introduce the military for the purpose of keeping . the peace. He had omitted to introduce that body, simply be cause he had found their. aid. unnecessary,. and becaase he thought, and he was sure they thought with lum i that theywere best employed against the enemies of their country. In conclu iion, he hoped that his example would prove to future Mayors, American Papers arrived this morning to the 11th Sept., from which,we have extracted the and to the city at large, that the introduction of the military as police was unnecessary. The Resolutions were then ordered to, be advertised in the usual Papers; and the Hall adjourned at a quarter before three o'clock. After the election Of Lord Mayor a Court of Aldermen was held for the purpose of tr a ns ac tin g publiC business. The Cham berlain laid beforyhe Court an account of the produce of the Orphans' Fund, fa- the . half y!ar ending, Michaelmas, and the Court directed the sum of 18,400 T-to be pgid off the debt. The Inquest of the Ward of Dowgate made a presentment of sundry encroachments and nuisances within the Ward, which was re ferred to Mr. Alderman Scholey to inquire into, and report to the next Court.—(THE TIMES.)

(From the Riper of the 5111 Sept.)—ln our last 14 e merely noticed in general terms the probable effects of a hurricane which, in about two hours, on Monday evening, did more damage in this city and vicinity than was ever before witnessed. During the prevalence of the gale, all human exertions to afford relief to vessels in distress were unavailing. What a lesson this to proud and presuming man! Although it is impossible in a day to obtain a knowledge of the extent of damage, a pretty good idea may be formed from the disasters here recorded. It would be useless to designate each house which has received da mage, by having chirnuies blown down, roofs wholly or partially blown off. Most of the re maining railing rounci the battery and several feet of its front have been wash 1 away, and the clocks in the North and Ee' rivers, near the battery, are materially inja “• 'the dock 24. at Powle's Ho.* is nearly r,9 . 1„-"- stc, At Long Island, the corn, many tree , ' &c., are levelled, and the winter a pri 's,2.cution,l‘have been .

[From the New York Gazette of We are happy in stating that no hurricane'was experienced at Bostl3n or Baltimore on Monday last.—The Boston Palladium of Tuesday merely observes, that a violent gale was experienced from S.

[From the Paper of Sept. 10,1 Private accounts from Barrocoa (Cuba) state, that the Negroes there had formed a plan of in surrection, which being discovered, two of the conspirators were beheaded,' and 150 of them hanged. All was quiet at the last advices. There were seventeen-interments at Baltimore for the 48 hours ending the morning of 'the 7th, five of which were of malignant fever.--There were four deaths at Norfolk of yellow fever, from the 31st ult. to the 2d inst. NORFOLK, SEPT. 3.—We are sorry it is not yet in our power to announce the termination of malignant cases. .We have heard of several more during the past week.. . LIMA..-(Gazette of BumOs-Arres,jutiell.) The public have been long in expectation of hearing of the successes of the united liberating army of Peru. The stupid and blind Spaniards have published that the expedition had been affected with the plague; that General SAN MARTIN was at the point of death ; that with the remains of his army he had re-embarked, and was already on the coast of 'Valparaiso. DISPATCHES OF THE GOVERNOR OF VALPARAISO TO THE MINISTER OF WAR. The Commander of his Britatfnic Majesty's frigate Andromache has this day anchored in this port,•and has just now communicated to me the following intelligence :—That he left our squadron in Callao, with the exception of two ships _that sailed with five hundred men, under the orders of ti►e Vice-Admiral, to retake possession of Pisco, which operation has been successful. There is another of our divi sions, that took possession of that place, cutting off all communication south with Lima, which has thrown the enemy into absolute despair. Valparaiso, April,2l - (From tae Charlcston Courier of Aug. 30.) " By the arrival of the Spanish brig of war Abitirante,in22 days from Vera Cruz, we learn that the tnsurgeitts were before that city, and that the gates were shut; but on the arrival of the Diamond, a Corvette, and the brig of war Almirante, with about 800 troops from this port, the troops being trained for two days, they sallied out to give battle to the enemy., who retreated, and no engagement took place—but the Royal troops burnt and destroyed the nu - afters of the Insurgents, which were without the walls. The Royal troops are encamped near the place that the enemy left. The Vice-Roy O'DoNo.ru, ar rived at Vera Cruz, from Old . Spain, and was treated very slightly. The vessels of war - touched at Tampico, where no notice was taken of then' at all. That place is represented to be in a state of discontent, and with . Vera Cruz, inay be e pected soon to be under the Independent Flag." The " Third Report of the Committee of the Society for the Improvement of Prison Discip•i• line, and for the Reformation of Juvenile Of fenders," has just been published. It contains a great mass of valuable information; and is highly honourable to the benevolence and in' dustry of the Committee. We shall from time to time insert extracts from a work which pre' niises to be of great service to the cause of ha" inanity. .ty the report of a gentleman lately arrived from Russia, it appears that the Laneasterian system of educating the children of the . Russian peasantry has been wholly abandoned. While, as advocates for the universal diffusion of know ledge, and firm believers that its diffusion is the best and most certain means of promoting - the happiness of mankind, and the true interests of morality and religion, we regret that the use ° f so poWerful an instrument for the propagation- of truth, as the methods of Dr. BELL and Mr. LAS' cAsTta, should be thrown aside in any country, we cannot but- be sensible that this fact afford; another proof that the friends to education slioultl accompany all improvements in the method 0'•, communicating - instruction with •corres - ponding attention and rare, in the selection of the matter of which that instruction is to consist. It 1159 been well observed that the manner of giving iv struction - is one - thing and the matter anOther, — that the best manner may he employed for trio dissemination of the most-pernicious errors, wh ile on the other hand much useful truth and vale, able knowledge may be. communicated 1 .1 . means in themselves very imperfect, and th at if we were to estimate in figures the r elative i importance of improvements in the manner au" the 'matter, we should represent the latter bf r millions and the former by units. It is very little importance that children are merely taught .to matt; unless- that acc o mplishine n ‘ be accompanied by the formation of habits c mind, and the instilling of sound princiPles, which will in after life serve to guide their choice in the books which are calculated to benefit uteri, and to direct their judgment in deciding upon t he truth and utility, or the error and mischievo4 s nature of their contents. The mere reader iS 35 likely to be captivated with the mast perniciou s doctrines and visionary speculations, as with the sober truths and practical conclusions of gentl!„,"„ religion and morality; and in a _country It r Russia, though we must -deplore the obstacle presented to the diffusion of knowledge/ b Y the relinqpishment of any of the means constru cted for facilitating . its dissemination, we cannot he surprised.that the Government and the privileg ed classes should view with diStrust and apprehen sion, the operations of an agent whose o bj e cts ar c r i not defined, and which would soon be beY °ll their controul.
