FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. PARIS, SEPT. 10.—The Garde des Sceaux has transacted business for a few days for the Mini ster of the Interior. lie has the portfolio ad in •terins, and M. de Corbieres sets out for Hennes. Two days ago, in the morning, a Commissary of Police, with agents and gend'armes, went to the street Jeunier, No. 20, the dwelling of an ancient of a Mason Lodge, and seized fifteen boxes full of papers. A journal announces that these papers belong to a Mason Lodge. The Qicatidienne hopes that they will shew traces of the famous Directorial Committee that is sought every where, and no where found.—Constitu tioniiel. Several papers announce, that in the evening of the 6th the windows of the Procureur-Gene ral Mangin, at Poitiers, whose house is at a dis tance from the centre of the town, were broken.. Justice," says the Journal des Debals, " is investigating this fact, and the subject of the threatening letters addressed to the Jury.—The sentence of death, adds the same print, ad dresied to the Procureur.General, was under the No. 123." It is said that on the 7th and Bth commercial couriers, coming to and leaving Paris, were searched at a little distance from the capital, and that some were not able to pursue their journey. ,I t has been announced at Lyons, that the 11th, • 17th, and 25th regiments, destined for different garrisons of the South, and 6,000 strong, will pass through that city the first fortnight of the month. The 11th, in effect passed on the sth. A paper called Le Memorial Bordelais, in serted on the Ist September a paragraph under date of Bayonne, August 27, saying, " Emigra tion from Spain increases daily. There are now admitted into the Lazaretto of Behobie nearly a hundred persons at a time. At this moment the Marchioness of Pontejos has entered. It was in the house of this lady that the plot of the assas sination of the King's Canon, Vinuesa, was formed." An honourable Spanish citizen has addressed a letter to the Constitulionnel, posi tively to deny this paragraph. The lady does riot leave Spain as an emigrant, but on a journey of pleasure. In her respectable house no plot, much less an assassination, has been formed. By these false assertions may be decided what cre dit is due to the pretended news respecting the affairs of Spain given in some papers. AUGSBURGIL, SEPT. 4.—According to the last news from Constantinople, Lord Strangford hav ing thought the time favourable to renew the re quest formerly made to the Porte, to send an .agent to Kaminieck Podolski, had a conference on the subject with the Reis Effendi. But the latter replied, that the Porte remained faithful to is treaties ; that it had not violated one article of them ; that his highness did not interfere in the aFfairs of any foreign Governments, and expected the same conduct on their• part; that the Porte - having given no cause of difference to Russia there could be no question of sending an Am bassador to settle it.; that Russia had begun the • quarrel, and that if it wished to send a new Am ,bassador to the Porte, she might send one, pro vided he did not come in a ship of war, as the _batteries and castles had positive orders to tire ,on ships of war, and to forbid their entrance ; such was the will of the Sultan. It is not known what the Noble Lord replied, but this answer of the Reis Etrendi is communicated to us as a faith- :ful extract of the Protocol. The Porte has, it , - is. said, had serious differences with the French Ambassador, who, it is reported, had threatened to retire.—(Gazette of Augsburgh.) The last letters from Bitoglia, Semlin, and Perlessa, announce that Chourschid, who had re tired on Larissa, had suffered a fresh defeat. — Some say that he is dead—others, a prisoner.—[lt -may be that both these victories are the same, the difference being made by the confusion of the Old and New Stile.] —It appears also by a letter `from Semlin of Aug. 22, that Captains Tassi and Diamauti, after their expedition to Cassandra, landed at Platamon, opposite Cassandra, at the foot of Olympus, and, after having called to arms the - inhabitants of the mountains, have penetrat ed as far as Servia. SEMLIN, AUG. 24.—Letters from Vito;lia, Ve loso, and' Berlepi, dated August 9th, not only confirm the intelligence of the.defeat of Chour 2schid Pacha near Larissa, on 20th July, but also inform us that the first check was followed by another equally severe. ' Threatened by the Divan, be assembled all 'his reserves; and led them to the theatre of his defeat. But the Greeks again intercepted him, and on August Ist he lost as. many' lives as on July 20th.' It is said he is among the prisoners. AIX-LA-CIIAPELLE, SEPT.' s.—(Extract of a pfitate Letter.)—We have before us a letter from Semlin, written by a person of Credit, an nouncing that the Porte has received disastrous news from the Pachalik of Bagdad. The Per sian troops are making great progress in the country, and even threaten Bagdad : so that instead of sending troops from Asia to the Pelo ponnesus-. The Pacha, on the contrary, urgently demands reinforcements. • FRONTIERS OF FRANCE.-The most lively inquietude prevails in • Pampeluna, where they .expect every day to see the army of the Faith arrive. The- consternation is increased, by its tieing now known that the Trappist has effected a junction with Quesada. A number of families, are leaving the city. ' Every thing tends to make us believe that in a few 'days the head-quarters of 1-he Army of the 'Faith will be in the capital -of Navarre: New sentences of exile are to follow those -.which have *teen passed against the Archbishop of Saragoza, the Bishops of Malaga and Ceuta, tbe ,Duke de l'lnfantado . , the Marquess de las 'Amarillas, and the Count d'Expeleta. , FROM TUE FRONTIERS OF SPAIN.—We learn from Bayonne, -of Sept. 3d, that letters from :Saint...Ander, by the last courier ; aunounce the discovery of a Conspiracy in that town against the Constitutional System. Thirty-six persons were arrested on August 25th, and sent by sea to the Castle of Sitint Antoine, at Corogna. Letters from Saint Jean Pied-de-Port announce that the Trappist, at the head of 150 or '2OO men, had effected his junction with Quesada. There arrives daily a great number of troops in the Biscayan provinces from the interior ; of these latter, two columns of 1500 men each ad vanced towards the camp of Irati to effect its destruction. Provisions and ammunition are still accumu lating in our city ; there is at present no more room for the forage ; and every day there arrive from the interior caissons and balls. In our arsenal they are making three or four millions of cartridges; but we see no toops arrive. Two companies of the ‘23d Regiment of the line are to be quartered in the castle of Marrae. Six new field-batteries of artillery are to be formed in our arsenal ; and eight from Toulouse are ordered here to join them. It is said, that five regiments of the line are coming into this de partment and that of the Landes. It is reported that the sanitary cordon will be broken up on the 15th current, if no symptoms of disease manifest themselves in Spain before that time. A line of troops of observation is to be maintained on the frontier, but people may pass and repass without being subject to qua ' rantine. It is however probable that the troops of ob servation will be reinforced if it is true, as said, that the revolutionary troops of Spain, joined to those of Portugal, intend to approach our fron tiers in force, under the pretext of pursuing - the Royalists. TRIALS AT POITIERS, SEPT. 7 and 8. Three days were occupied with the defence of some of the persons of minor importance.— The speeches as reported are of very little interest. SWITZERLAND, AUG. 31.—The Committee of Commerce has presented a new report to the Diet. The ma jority adhered to their first report., proposing the establishment of divers import duties on the produce or manufactures of those countries whose custom-house laws are injurious to the produc tions of Switzerland. The Committee has, however, made some modifications in the first project. The minority have given two opinions. The one presented by M. Lawn, who persists in advocating a system without re strictions : and the other by 'M. llirzel, who would limit the import duties to wine and corn. After the Diet had again deliberated, 13 votes were in favour of the principles adopted by the majority, but with the reserve of the ratification of their constituents. The deputies of Zurich, Bale, Geneva, Uri, Schweitz, Un derwald, Neuchatel, and Valais, according to their instruc tions, took the matter ad ;a:Premium. It was also decided that the measures in question should be taken, not by virtue of a binding resolution, to which the Diet would not be competent, but by an entirely free concordat be tween such of the cantons should adopt it. In the 3fith sitting, on the 27th of August, the debate on the concordat, for a partial introduction of import duties, was continued, and the tariff discussed. The various articles rela tive to produce and manufactures were adopted, some by 13 and some by 14 votes, reserving the ratification of the cantons which all adhere to the concordat. THE BRAZILS. BAHIA, JULY 13.—The works for the defence of the city proceed with great ardour and rapi dity,. All the slaves that can be met with, are compelled to labour at the trenches, and the pre parations will in a short time be complete. The situation of the General, however, appears every day becoming . more arduous and difficult. The native troops, which were disarmed in February, have almost universally fled to the neigh bouring parts, to join their countrymen in arms, and a great many of the Brazilians enrolled in the City Regiment of Militia have followed their example : even the European battalions have not been without desertion : still he is powerful, having at his disposal the Treasury of the province, and his partisans, confident of success, have wantonly insulted the Members of the Provisional Government, conceiving them unfavourable to their cause : this body is now left with scarcely the shadow of power. Fo reigners are hitherto respected, and when the crisis arrives, we trust we shall escape insult. The French Commodore has, in a manner highly honourable to himself, made a commu nication to the Consul, offering us the protec tion of his ship, being, as he says, the only neutral ship of war in the port—a fact which we cannot, without humiliation, confess. It is now about two months since any British armed vessel has appeared here, notwithstanding the unsettled aspect of affairs which this city has long exhi bited ; there being, as is well known to our Go vernment, seldom less than 300,0001. of English capital in this province. [PRIVARE LETTER.] " BaisrA, JULY 14.—Since the commotions here, all busi ness has been at a stand; for as the 100 European troops are determined not only to retain the city and province to the last, in expectation of reinforcements from Lisbon ; but Madeira, the Commander, is an active officer, and he has been actively engaged of late in strengthening . and loading the different strong holds and fortresses with provisions and ammu nition, and throwing up entrenchments preparatory to an at tack which the Prince is supposed to have in contemplation by dispatching up from Rio vessels to blockade the port, and troops foihostilities. Every Black, therefore, appearing in the streets, is pressed and occupied in this way. Some are of opinion that no forces will come up from Rio ; others have advices that those forces must now be some eight or tor} days at sea, there- , fore a short time will develope the fact. As the principal pcor-1 tion of the shopkeepers are Europeans, and all embodied into a militia, they now attend on the field' daily to exercise, which] adds to Madeira's forces about 3,000. tolerably well disciplined men. But all shops are in conseqence closed at twelve o'clock. The native regular troops which this officer dislodged from the different forts some months back, disarmed and dis banded, have been invited by the separate planters up to their different estates in the .interior, a large portion of whom have escaped to the different destinations accordingly, in spite of every exertion on the part of the European Commanders to stop and prevent it, by searching all launches and other con veyances; and these men are reported to be furnished with arms, ammunition, and double pay by these private opulent individuals, with a view either of ultimately making an entry into the town to co-operate with any other • forces that may be dispatched with the intent of attacking the European forces; and wresting the city out of their grasp, or of cutting off all 'supplies from us; as we unfortunately depend much upon the interior. In this event, then, we shall soon be greatly distressed for provisions from this quarter, and if the Prince can really place us in a state of blockade, we shall obtain nothing from without, and the neighbourhood grows very insufficient for its supply. These impressions have set every individual upon stock- _.: . ing his house with flour, codfish, salt beef, biscuit, and all other obtainable provisions; in consequence the importer is no w ask ing 14 and 16 dollars per barrel for flour, 8 to 10 for fish, and every thing in proportion, as six months stock at least to every individual family is considered as prudent and indispensable. Here then we are perhaps on the eve of a long civil war, and not far removed from a famine, unless Portugal can send a sufficient force to raise the blockade, if attempted. Nothing but provisions are now bought or sold, and little else paid for. No, or few, English houses dispatch any thing, the Customs are in consequence crammed, and few get in ' any outstanding debts of importance ; even bills are in most instances left to be protested. Now whether we are to fall a prey to any or the greater part of the miseries and privations attendant on this state of things, will in good measure rest with the Rio party interfering ; and if it does not, I think it likely that Madeira will quietly retain this portion of the Province until he can get succours from the Cortes, and being, a central spot, they can ultimately sally out to attack each indi vidual province as a convenient occasion may offer, and thus make successful exertions in reducing other ports under obe dience once again to the will of Portugal ; and the Mother Country will hardly lose, so favourable an opportunity of re gaining its former ascendancy ; but if, upon the contrary, the troops from Europe receive orders to retire, which, I think, is not very probable, then commerce will instantly revive. CITY, TIIIMS1)..11( EVENING. Notwithstanding the great abundance of money, the English funds have been very flat this day. Consols for the October settlement opened at 81a, but large sales having been effected by the brokers for the west end of the town, they fell to 811, and closed at this value. In Bank Stock, few bargains have been done for the opening. The price is 247 to 248, but the uncertainty of the intentions of the Bank, relative to this capital, prevents transactions to any considerable extent taking place in this stock. Much business continues to be done in most of the foreigh securities, and more particularly in the Spanish and Chilian. In Spain, as well as in the ' New South American states, liberty of action must soon create national prosperity, and their Governments, whose ob ject is the general welfare, and not the aggrandisement of a few, cannot fail to acquire credit in England corresponding to the extent of their freedom. The effects of despotism on pub lic credit are widely different, and are well exemplified in the trifling investments which take place in Austrian and Russian securities, although those of the latter are supported by most powerful individul interest. The public generally, however, do not seem to have any great relish for transactions with their Imperial Majesties, and there is a conviction, that either bar barism or revolution must be the result in every nation of all attempts to fetter the human mind. The Russian Go vernment, by its edicts against every society, when the principles of civilization are discussed and promoted, also shews such a deep-rooted aversion to the improvement of their people, that few Englishmen can place any great credit in the solidity of a state of affairs where the acquirement of in dividual property is next to impossible, and where the cultiva tion of the mind is declared to be criminal. From these causes neither the Russian nor the Austrian Funds are favourites in England, for no confidence can be reposed in States where, as in Turkey, the continuance of barbarity is eaought to be neces sary to their internal tranquillity. A good deal of business continues to be done in Columbian Bonds, and as soon as a ra tification of the last loan is received from that rising Empire, a considerable advance in the value of their Stock may be ex pected. The current prices of the different Foreign Funds are as follow : French • Five per Cents. Dividend from 22d March, 92 56, Ex Div.

From the Ist of March to the 10th of September, 1821, there were imported 20,786 casks and 499 serons of Tallow, and during the same period this year the importation has been 20,698 casks and 343 serons. Great speculations are going for ward in this article at present, but as they are all made in St. Petersburgh yellow candle, the public are not much interested in the success of either of the parties. There is a great in crease in the quantity produced at home, and many large towns, which used to draw their supplies from London, are now enabled to send up consignments at very low prices.— This is another of the benefits attending the present most abundant growth of all articles of agricultural production. From the 19th March to the 10th September, 1821, the im portation of hemp amounted to, from St. Petersburgh 975, and from Riga 101 tons ; in the same period, 1822, from St. Pe tersbur,,h the quantity is 6102, and from Riga 1363. During the whole of 1821, the quantity was 6762 St. Petersburgh, and 1177 from Riga.' This year it must be much larger. The pre sent prices of tallow are 395. to 405., and of hemp, 335. 6d. to 395.—( No-ruing Chronicle.) LAMBETH PARISH. THE PEDLAR'S ACRE ESTATE. Yesterday a vestry was held in the parish of St. Mary, Lambeth, for the purpose of taking into consideration the propriety of applying to Parliament for power to dispose of the estate belonging to the above parish, situate in Ped lar's Acre, and applying the proceeds to the payment of puechase money for scites, inclosures of burial grounds, and other purposes connected with the building of New Churches in the said parish. The Rector opened.the business by giving a short history of the estate now called Pedlar's Acre. It appeared from the Rev. Gentleman's statement that the property had been in the possession of the Parish near three centuries. They held it in 1504, when it bore the name of the C'hurcli Iloddy. It was not called Pedlar's Acre before 1690. In 1554 it was let for five shillings per acre. In 1690 it was first let on lease for building. In 1761 the lease expired; and some doubt having •arisen on the right of the parish to grant a lease; the opinions. of the law officers were taken. Sir DUDLEY RYDER. decided that the parish could grant the lease, and the estate was let for 60/. per annum. In 1813 it was again let, and the parish ob tained a premium of 6,0001. which was applied to the relief of the poor. The annual produce of the lease, of- which there are some years unexpired, is now 1001. a-year. From the above account it appears that the estate was in the possession of the parish near 200 years before it was called the Pedlar's Acre, and the supposed bequest of the Pedlor, whose effigy is preserved in the church window, still remains unex plained. It seems cleat that the estate was appropriated to charitable uses. In consequence of the title of the parish to the property . having been called in question by an informer, a Committee was appointed in May last to stay law proceedings, and secure the legal estate from further expence The report of that Committee has not yet been made. The above being the state of the property, the object was to apply to Parliament for a Bill, to vest the estate in trustees, in order that it may be sold, not to defray the expellees of build ing new churches, but the expence of sates, inclosures, and Law expences, which are calculated to amount to 10,090/. • Mr. LET T, the Magistrate, supported the object of the no tice, and urged the sale of the estate on two grounds. First, he 'contended that a fund of this description should not be at the disposal of a Vestry ; and, secondly, that an application to Parliament to vest the,property in Trustees for a special pur pose, would stop litigation and save expence. Mr. JONES said, a would be unwise and injudicious to dis pose of the property, especially as they had power under the New Churches Act to raise in twenty years, 60,000/. by a rate of 4d. in the pound. After considerable discussion on the question, the Vestry agreed to the following Resolutions Ist. Resolved that it is not expedient at present to determine that application be made to Pa rl iament to dispose of 'the Pat..' lar's Acre estate, and apply the proc ee d s t o th e ex p ence o f building new churches. 2d. It appears to be 'expedient to this Vestry to direct the Committee-already appointed, to apply to Parliament for poWerf to vest the Pedlar's Acre Estate in Trustees, ant apply the ' proceeds in aid of the parish rates. After a vote of thanks to the Rector for his able and impar tial conduct in the Chair, the Vestry adjourned. We received' this morning the Paris Papers of Tuesday, from which we give extracts in a pre ceding column. We are still without any official accounts of the late events in Thessaly, but from every quarter communications arrived confirma tory of the battle having terminateg in favour of the Greeks. It is even said that CHOURSCHID PACUA has suffered a second defeat, in attempt ing to repair his first losses, and to avert the fate which, under the Ottoman Government would inevitably await his ill success. The last conflict was as sanguinary and as warmly con tested as the first ; and report adds, that CHOURSCIIID is either killed or among the pri- soners. The Journal des Debuts communicates a piece of intelligence from Spain ; which ; if true, will be attended with important advantages to the Constitutional party, not only in its immediate but also its ulterior consequences. It states/ that the Trappist, who has been one of the most active insurgent Chieftains, had been sold by eight of his own followers, and delivered jo t° the hands of the Constitutionalists.

Allowing that the " PITT SYSTEM," and ne t : the inevitable course of action consequent up °ll the French Revolution, occasioned the expen di. ture by this country of fifteen hundred raill ie° in twenty-four years, it by no means foll° Ws that that expenditure was the cause of the e‘ ist ing public embarrassments.

It is evident, even from a very superiich4 examination, that the public disorder arises rather from repletion than exhaustion. The versal complaint is, not that the country has b ee" drained of its resources, or stripped of its 131 ; -... ductions, but that all th e sources o f its we alt c ; are gorged,—that all its markets of every k iil are glutted with sup era bu n d an c e ,—th a t eve!' ►ts population, so far from being thinned by th e te ; cessary consumption of wa r , h as mu ltiplied Wit ' unprecedented speed, until the supply of ha rl4 beings, like that of all th e o th er oomP nerjt , parts of national prosperity and wealth, has be y come, in the language of the Political Ec en , mists, excessive.

THE DrosIAN.We have been often gratified by these productions, in poetry and prose, the effusions of juvenile taste, talents,and knowledge, as they were successively presented to the public, and we are glad to find that they have been col lected and now appear in two volumes. They are not such crude productions of youthful vanity, encouraged by the partiality of relations and friends, as might be expected, and which may serve very well to amuse private circles, but are not hardy enough to stand against the rude breezes of public criticism. The contents of these inte resting volumes are selected with judgment, and are calculated to afford general amusement. But this work is interesting in another point of view, las it holds forth a vivid promise that these juve nile authors, displaying so much ability at their early period of life, are hereafter likely to make a distinguished figure in the eyes of their coun trymen, as ornaments of the Pulpit, the Senate, and the Bar. In another respect, too, the work is highly gratifying, for as there is nothing improperly free in its various contents, but as it has altogether a moral direction, we may hope that these early votaries of Literature will be henceforward conspicuous for virtue as well as for talents, and become essential props to our happy Constitution in Church and State. We shall for the present only select the following two Sonnets, which are obviously not marked only by poetical taste, but by the liberal feelings of admiring friendship : ." Thou canst claim The shelter, from thy sire, of an immortal name." My weaker glance shrinks from that glorious sun, Which cheers thine eagle pinion. Gentle Friend, In vain thou bid'st me by thy side ascend The path my lowly destiny must shun. For I am bound by heavy chains of Earth, And my soul grovels in its shroud of clay ; Thou art a Poet even from thy birth, And bright-eyed Glory beckons thee.—Away Hereafter, when thy wing bath ceas'd to roam Awhile, amid the fields of Phantasy, Thou shalt descend to my lone, quiet home, And deign to praise my simple melody; My song of calm affections, love and mirth, Piped to kind happy hearts around some Christmas hearth. Thou bast a gentle nature ; yet I know That thy life's spring hath been unfortunate ; That thou halt firmly borne the frown of Fate, And met Affliction with unaltered brow. Oh ! not to Lady Fortune's captious hate Are fine and delicate spirits first to bow ; 'Wealth and young Hope, like thine, made desolate, Have broken many a sterner heart : but thou Mast quiet thoughts, and exquisite affections, And dreams that waft thee far from storms of Earth, Sweet tears, lone musings, cherish'd recollections ; And Poesy smil'd on thee at thy birth ; And o'er thy path one lov'd and tranquil Star Still flings its cheering radiance from afar.
