FOREIGN INTELIAGENCE. MADRID, AUG. 6.—The wishes of the true friends of the Constitution are at . length accom plished. his Majesty has this evening named the New Ministry, agreeably to the presenta tions made bY M. Lopez Banos, immediately after his arrival at Madrid. They areas follows: — Fur the Interior, D. Jose (fiasco, Ex-Deputy ; Colonies, Sr. VadWe, Ex-Deputy ; Forei,,irn Affairs, D. Evariste San MiKuel, Major of the Army of the Isle of Leon, Colonel of the National Armies, and Adjutant-General of the 'Etat •Major ; War, Field Marshal D. Michel Lopez Banos ; Jus tice, D. Felipe Benicio Navarro, Ex-Deputy; Marine, D. Dionissi Capaz, Deputy to the Cortes of 1814, Captain in the Navy, and Secretary of the Admiralty; Finance, D. Antonio Martinez; the latter having liven in his resignation, is re placed for the interim, by Sr. hguia„ Director of Finance. The nomination of the New Ministers affords 'the strongest guarantee for the consolidation of .the existing syStern. The-country will have no thing further to dread from conspiracies like - those which have' recently placed . it in a state of jeopardy. There is every reason to believe that the first acts of the New Ministry will be signa lised' by the assembling of the Extraordinary Cortes, and the appointment of men distinguished for their patriotism, as Civil and Military Super -intendants of the Provinces. The national opi - Dion is loudly expressed on these two important points. General Mina, who has just arrived at Madrid, will lose no time in departing for Cata lonia. A great number of military veterans and patriots claim the honour of forming part of his army. Sr. Fernando Salamanca, Captain of the first battalion of the. Royal Guards, has been arrested on the frontiers, at the moment he was about to embark on the Bidassoa. lie has been con ducted under a-strong escort to Madrid, where he will be immediately brought to trial.—Sr. Mar tinez de la Rosa, in quitting the Ministry, has surrendered to the nation all the sums due to 'him s•i:nce he entered on his functions.lt is said that Quesada has been defeated after a sangui -.nary conflict. Addresses arrive daily from the various towns "in the provinces; they all breathe the purest .spirit of patriotism ; they rejoice at the triumph of liberty over despotism, but they deplore at the same time the sanguinary struggles which marked that memorable day. The Address of Saragossa is extremely violent. That of Irun is dictated by the most enlightened patriotism. The Journals cite it as a model, and it will un doubtedly long continue to be so cited. The citizens hold in it a language worthy of the grave -importance of the times, and the firmness of the 'Spanish character.—The Address of Valladolid .is also extremely strong ; the citizens do not dis semble that the time is now arrived when the =Government must exert all its energies against :the open conspiracy which threatens the consti tutional institutions. They demand that the ..traitors who have compromised the King,- and who have, in fact, placed him at the head of this plot, may be immediately brought to trial. They further demand the assembling of the Extraordi nary Cortes. This Address is Signed by up wards of 300 of the most distinguished persons . in the town. COURT OF ASSIZE AT COLMAR, AUG. 6. The Advocate-General concluded his speech . against seven of the accused in the following words We have now terminated our task, *Gentlemen of the Jury, and it will shortly he your duty to accompliSb your's—it is difficult and important; and you must be deeply impressed With its difficulty and importance. Your decision will remain a monument for this province, which which has hitherto •been a stranger -to political dissensions. May it teach the ambitious, who • might still be tempted to speculate on the falli bility of the Alsatians, that if we are not remark able for the quickness of our perceptions, or the brilliancy of our wit, we are at" least distin guished for our honour and loyalty, ,from which we have never swerved in the worst of times ! May •it convince such cr misuided wretches, that we shall never be disposed to facilitate to them the acquisition of power, by filling the space which separates them from it with the blood of .our brethren." • . After M. Cramer, the Deputy Procureur- Oenerai had spoken against three others of the accused, the Sitting was adjourned. SITTING OF AUG. 7. The proceedings were resumed on this day, when M. Fleurent, Counsel for Tellier; and M. Barthe, Counsel for Guinard, attacked and refuted the, allegations and arguments, on which the prosecutor relied. The speeches of these two eloquent Advocates made - a powerful impression On all who heard them. M. Virney was afterwards heard in defence of .001. Pailhes, and the Sitting was adjourned. GREECE. Coaru, JUNE 31..--The army of Etolia has "penetrated into Epirus in several places. One ¶part was disembarked in the port of Glycys, near -Scull ; another on the coasts of Arta, and a ,third passed by Macrynoros. The following .proclamation has been addressed by the Minister .of War to the Stratarques (Chiefs of the Army) and to the soldiers of this part of .Greece " Stratarques, and Soldiers of the Western Army—The most cruel tyranny which ever existed, and the hope of liberating your country, your parents and children, have made you take up arms. You have soleninly sworn to break in pieces the yoke, or perish to the last man with a courage worthy of our ,cause. You have been resisted in collie places, but in most of the combats in which you have been engaged, you have taught your enemies to dread you ; ycu have proved what the firm re solution of men can effect, who, though few in numbers, con tend for•freedom. " You have.reSisted alone during a yesr.the Whole force of .an en any, who threatened to invade your frontiers, and pass into the releponacsus. At prZsent, the Governmentbas sent to you, from this latter country, the legion of heavy armed in fantry. ,It is accompanivl by the regiment of Europeans, who have comc . from.afar to the succour of Greece.; and who unite, with - great valour, much experience and knowledge of the art of war. 'A naval force is,destined to assist at sea the opera „lions on shore, in cruising against the enemy. Our illustrious President is coming in person to direct the combined operations of both form. " Stratarques of Etolia and of Acarnania—You have for a ~ 1 4ang time defended your frontiers, and have constantly repulsed the attacks of the enemy. The new reinforcements will ensure his speedy anti total destruction. And you, Soldiers of these celebrated, countries, who have never disgraced the valour of your ancesters, forget not at present your duty. Remem ber your oaths, and hasten to the defence of your-wives, of your children, and of your brothers, whose extermination has been sworn by the enemy. Your just and generous undertaking has compromised them for ever with the barbarians, in the middle of whom there is no longer any security for them. Your coun try now demands your exertions. The Minister of War, " Corinth, May 26 t . " JOHN COLETIS.", REPORT CONCERNING THE PRINCIPAL EVENTS IN THESSALY. " We began offensive operations in Thessaly on the 12th of April; our army was divided into two separate columns; the first was to attack Neopatra at the same time that the other was to advance on Zftitonni. " The latter, commanded by General Nicetas, came by sea ; it disembarked on the 13th April, in the Bay-of Echinon, near Stelida; the enemy soon appearea with superior forces, and twice beaten, retreated on Stelida. Pursued even here, he soon sought safety in flight, and SO Mahometan Albanians who had thrown - themselves into two fortified houses to resist the occu pation of the town, were six7ll, with the houses, a prey to the flames. " The same day Odysseus advanced at the head of a batta lion on Santa Marina, a small town of much importance near Zeitouni, and carried it by storm. On his side, Coutoyanne, who commanded the other co lumn, advanced against Neopatra, defeated the enemy whom he met about a league from the town, pursued him to the gates, and even burnt a-part of the suburbs from which the Turks kept up their fire. At the commencement of the night he returned to his post. " On the 14th, Easter-day, the enemy advanced with all his forces bringing with him a considerable park of artillery. At first he marched on Santa Marina, but after making several useless attacks on this position he marched to Stelida. He at tacked it three times, and was three times repulsed with consi 7 derable loss. His cavalry, Which supported the principal at tacks, suffered much more than his infantry. "At midnight the troops which occupied Stelida effocted their junction with Odysseus at Santa Marina. The enemy, who thought them dispersed, marched towards this town the. ensuing day. A continued cannonade, well kept up but badly directed, did no harm ; then he advanced to the entrench ments, which he thought were defended by only a small num ber of men. After three discharges the Greeks attacked him sword in hand; he beat a retreat, and was pursued nearly to the gates of Zeitouni. " These operations were suspended for a few days by an other circumstance. Hassan Pacha, drunk with the blood of the peaceable peasants whom he had murdered in Macedonia, in the environs of Naousta, had advanced on Thessaly, at the head of 10,000 man. Proud of his massacres, h threatened to cross the mountains arid defiles, to rejoin the argt of Joussouf, at Patras. On April 26th he penetrated to Agrapha. Stergios, who commanded there, profiting by his confidence, feigned a retreat.—After drawing him into the most difficult situations, he attacked him suddenly. The carnage was dreadful—more than half the Turks were cut in pieces on the spot, and a great number perished in the retreat. Hassan Pacha, with the ruins of his army, reached Phanari, which another Turkish army had occupied for some time. " Afterwards the Agraphistes advanced on Chasia, a chain of mountains which connects Pindus with Olympus, and formed a junction with Stournane, who commands in this country; they attacked on May 25, at Keracha, the Turkish advanced guard, and routed it. On the 2;th they marched on Phanari. The com bat which ensued there was bloody, and for a long time doubtful. At length the enerny,harassed on his flanks,took to flight in great disorder, abandoned his camp, his provinces, &c. He reached • Triceala, which he evacuated two days afterwards to retire to Larissa. " At noon, on the 22d of May, the Turks in Cleopatra aban doned the town, after a brisk attack; they passed the Sperchius and retreated towards the north. " From this moment the enemy thought only of retreating at all points; and at the beginning of June Thessaly as far as Larissa was evacuated."—(CONStitUtionnel.) CITY, WEDNESDAY EVENING. Consols for the August settlement opened this morning at 801, and advanced to 30i, at which price they closed. Confi dence is again gradually restoring their former value, for it is' now obvious that there was not any siifficient cause fat-the late decline. A new account was begun for the 16th of October, arid several transactions were effected in it at 80/. Bank Stock is noted at-251; 1 0,. The Three per Cent reduced continue at from 80i- to 81,1. - The cash price of Three per Cent. Con sols is 80j 1, and the Three and a half per Cents are 921 The Old Fours continue at 991 d, and the New are 99i —Bank Long Annuities bring 20 5-16 a 21. India Stock is quoted 249. India Bonds, 62. 61. At the present moment, however, the inonied interest does not bestow much of its attention on the English Securities. The Foreign Funds offer a much better rate of interest, and as civilization and liberal opinions are daily gaining ground in Europe, ultimate safety becomes in proportion more certain. Large transfers ac cordingly•continue to take place in every description of foreign funded debts. A private Express from Paris brings the Rentes there on Monday last at 93.25. Here, this day, in consequence of an idea having been entertained that a decline would take place at Paris, on the death of Lord Londonderry being known, they fell to 92.50.; but when the small advance at Paris on Monday last became public, they again re-assumed their former value of 93. The Exchange is 25. 40.; Prussian Five are 884 a 89; and Mr. ROT Hsc I.D's New LoanB6l. Neapolitan Stock has risen to73i a 74, and, being in demand, is likely still to becothe more valua ble. Spanish Bonds of 1820 are 64, and those of 1821 are in de mand at 63/. Danish Fives are 87/, and the same, in Banco Marks, 84. Russian Sixes, the exchange being are 82, and the Metallic Fives are 74 Mr. ROT lIsCIIILD'S New Russian Loan continues at 83A. Columbian Bonds are 87. To-morrow being the settling day for the Chili accounts, and some misunder standing having arisen amongst sonic of the speculators this day, there has been greatvariation m the value of this Stock; it opened at 84k, fell to 821, advanced to 35, fell again to 831, and finally closed at 821; it is expected lower to-morrow; but when once the accounts are settled, it will soon recover its former value. At the Corn Exchange there have arrived since Monday 3,800 quar ters of wheat, 200 quarters of barley and 2,700 quarters of oats. The wheat harvest south of the dumber is nearly finished, and for many years a more productive crop has not been ga thered in the United Kingdom. Another fortnight will nearly clear the fields of every article except Beans. In Ireland the crop • of Oats is fully as large as the one of 1818. If any ofhis Ma jesty's subjects during the next twelve months should feel any thing like want of the necessaries of life, it must be attributed to any thing but the elements. There will be great abundance at very moderate prices; and if distress be felt, it must be solely occasioned by the want of living wages to the produc-- , tive classes. Low prices must produce much good, for they will enable a larger exportation of manufactured articles, to be effected at less expence, and the present mode of em-' ploying the Surplus Capital of the Empire in Foreign Loans will assist Foreign Nations in paving for British industry.— Low prices of grain will also enable the Merchant to pur chase from the Farmer the surplus growth of the fields, and to export it to Southern Nations, the payment of which will consist in such products of those nations, as• cannot be 'ob tained otherwise without national loss. Low prices will also shew the Landed Interest the impossibility of their reap ing any advantage from Corn Bills, or any Restrictive Corn Duties. A free intercourse among all nations in the necessaries of life, is the best means for obtaining freedom of trade. British taxation will be more easily paid, when all will have an object in being industrious. The landed interest in a few years, during low prices and free trade, will soon gain as much by the increased quantity of their production, as they lose at present by its dectsed value. All of them, no doubt„ must experiencetemporary distress; but it is a common law of nature that every thing, sooner or later, must find its level.. At the Corn Exchange it is almost impossible to effect any sales of wheat, and the price is again Is. - to 2s. a quarter cheaper. Oats have declined ls. also, and flour of the best quality has fallen sg. a Sack.—(Morning Chronicle.) FOR THE SUN. ROYAL ACADEMY OE MUSIC. Mu. EDITOR—The Musical Professors of this country must feel much indebted to the Corre spondent who, in your Paper of Friday list, stated some of the evils which are likely to re sult from the projected speculation of a Royal Academy of Music. I find that the plan has been announced by public Advertisement in some of the London, and also 'in several of the Pro vincial Journals, a proof that the Directors do not think that the principles of the plan will re commend themselves. The fact is, as your Corre spondent observes, that there is no want of able musical Professors in this country, and it is evident that they are actively employed in the business of instruction. For what reasonable purpose therefore can this crude and unseasonable pro ject be founded ? We have already several Musical Societies, composed of the most able Professors on their respective instruments. It appears that at the end of seven or eight years, a considerable number of pupils of both sexes are to be turned loose upon the world to get their bread, to speak in howely language ; and can it be supposed that they will have acquired skill enough to contend with prac tised musicians who occupy the ground of tuition ? No—the consequence will be that the male por tion of these half-learned students will starve while they are attempting to procure scholars, and of the poor unprovided females, many of them will incur the danger of hecomin4 those " free hearted wenches" with whom Macheath boasts that he has enriched the town. Ido not mean, Mr. Editor, to treat this subject with levity, but as a serious and alarming project.— What is to prevent the fate Which I haie ven tured to predict as likely to befal these tyros of Music, who will hardly have passed much beyond the Gamut when they are to be thrown upon the protection of Providence, for we do nut find that any basis has been laid down for the formation of a fund for the support of the pupils who by illness, and other causes, may be dis abled for the pursuit of their profession. I agree with your Correspondent, that the motives of the Projectors and Patrons of this wild scheme may be pure and patriotic, but they seem to act with zeal without discretion. 1 understand that con sternation has been excited throughout the musi cal world by the project in speculation, and though some may be seduced by the pride of belonging to a Royal Academy, the'general opi nion is hostile to the scheme. It may be said, that by encouraging an FotoLtsll Schoor., we may prevent the intrusion of foreign musicians, but what security is there that among our aris tocracy of rank or of wealth, there will not be found Patrons who will protect foreign, in spite of the panoply thrown over the rising,students of the new Royal Academy ? No such se curity can possibly be obtained. For instance ; I need only mention THE ENGLISH OPERA HOUSE, founded by Mr. AuNor.n, the son of a very distinguished ornament of the musical pro fession, who is no more. Has the English Opera, though it has been the liberal Asylum of the best native talents, affected, in the slightest de gree, the interest of the Italian Opera, which has been so long tolerated in this country ? Have the nobility thronged to the English Opera House for the purpose of fostering native talents in musical composition or performance ? I s not, on the contrary, the ITALIAN OPERA, as much, if not more strongly, supported since the esta blishment of the ENGLISH OPERA HOUSE, as it was before that truly British Institution ? Upon the whole, Mr, Editor, the new Academy ought to be discountenanced, as your Correspondent says, upon every ground of " justice and hu manity." ANOTHER PROFESSOR, wyru A FAMILY. August 11, 1822. FOR THE SUN. MR. EDITOR—As there is no better corrective to a public evil, than bringing that evil before the public, you will render an essential service if you will permit the follow ing observations to appear in your very ably conducted and sound constitutional' Paper :—I am an invalid, and haire been at Margate for some time, and am a subscriber to. BALE'S Room, where several metropolitan papers are taken in, but among which your's appears to be the favourite. Now, Sir, the evil of which 1 complain is the long detention of a paper in hand, by any individual, in a public room ; there cannot be any objection, towards the close of the day, for any porer over a paper to Spell and go thro' every article from beginning to end ; but in the morning, when every person is anxious to knoW what may be considered as news, it is a great bore for any of these humdrum politicians to keep a paper in hand longer than two or three minutes. I have several times waited more than an hour before I could possibly gain a sight of any paper, which has compelled me to throw away my time very improvidently, when it might have been so much better employed in inhaling the sea breeze from the pier, or in takihg a sail upon . the water. 1 have great hopes, Sir, if you will permit, this gentle hint to appear, that it may be instrtunental in correcting an evil, which is grave matter a - complaint by many others, as well as &c. Margate; Aug. 14, 1822. AN INVALID. THE LATE 111 n. IgGLis.—Yesterday forenoon were depo sited, in the family vault at Walthamstow, in Essex, the re mains of Joux hunts, Esq., a merchant of London. The deceased was a younger son of a surgeon practising in the town of Lanark, N. 8., and while yet a lad, came to the metropolis in search of employment. His original service was as clerk to a person trading with America named Russell, who lived in Grutched-friars, or its vicinity, and whose integrity is said to have been remarkable. The subsequent labours of the deceased were in the mercantile house to whiCh he so recently belonged, and which has undergone many changes of firm ; suffice it to observe, that the alteration from Inglis, Ellice, and Co., was owing to the present Mr. Ellice having married into a political family. Besides the individual concerns of the deceased, he was a Director of the Union Assurance Office; of, the London Dock Company, •to which he acted as Ch a i rman ; an d o f th e East India Company, in which he had been the Deputy Chair man for one year. It may be presumed that he afterwards de clined to fill the principal chair, because he could not find spare time for discharging the complicated duties of this arduous station. So far as ins mercantile life compelled him to assume a political character, he was a follower of Mr. Pitt's principles, and thus may be.said to have been a supporter of the present Administration : nevertheless, at the last election for Lanarkshire, lie voted in favour of Lord Archibald Hamil ton ; but this secession, if It shall be called such, was probably made to requite an obligation, which had been conferred on him by a living and therefore nameless friend. Throughout his domestic life the deceased was grave rather than gay. Let it be attributed to this serious habit that his vices became few, while his charity grew boundless.—( morning. - Herald.) , • Lk , ,„c • /7 110 * * MASONIC NOTICES FOR NEXT WEEK. ENGLAND.

EDINBURGH, A uo. 12.—This morning, being the joyous anniversary of the birth'of our most gracious Sovereign, the necessary operations commenced on the Calton-hill preparatory to laying the foundation stone of that noble edifice, which is de stined to perpetuate the great and glorious events that distin guished his regency and reign,—the achievements of his Scot- tish naval and military heroes, and the epoch of his auspi cious visit to the northern capital of his United Kingdom.— The masonic preparations in town and country are, we under stand, unprecedented in point of extent and magnificence, and truly worthy of the royal patron of their order. It is sup posed that 10,000 masons will attend this grand and imposing ceremony. The foundation stones, with the inscriptions, coins, &c. will be ready in a few days, and a plan of the order of procession, and of the mode of preserving and guarding the ground, subject to the approbation of the Lord Provost and Ma gistrates of Edinburgh, has been sketched nut, and is now in the lithographic press. The access to the summit of the hill by the road on its south-east side, is extremely easy and practi cable, the ascent not exceeding one foot in eighteen.—His Grace the Duke of Atholl, his Grace the Duke of Mon trose, the Earl of Elgin and Kincardine, the Earl of Leven and Melville, the Earl of Roseberry, Lord Viscount Mel ville, and Rear-Admiral Sir David Milne, K. C. B. have been solicited by the Royal Association, and appointed as a Deputation to wait upon the King, and learn his Royal will and pleasure in regard to the day for laying the foundation stone. It is in contemplation to reserve a place in the pro - cession for the contributors to this noble undertaking ; and it has been suggested that each subscriber of twenty-five pounds, besides the vote and right of property which the Act of Par liament confers upon him in his useful and ornamental edifice, shall be entitled to join in the procession, and that those •who have given donations merely, shall, on paying up the difference, be entitled to rank and share as proprietors. Those parishes and individuals who may have already contributed, but who have not hitherto made theft: returns, are requested to do so to the Secre tary 2 Hill-street, as soon as possible, in order that their names may be added to the roll of contributors proposed to be laid before the King, and thereafter engraven on some durable ma terial and deposited in the monument, in order that the pre sent and future generations may know who had the honour of contributing to the erection of this grand memorial of national piety, patriotism, and gratitude. *** For SIDNEY, Letter XX., see our Fourth Page. _........

We have very great pleasure in laying before our Readers the following Letter, dated . " Newcastle-upon-Tyne, 13th Aug. " HIS MAJESTY, no doubt, will be up at Leith this after noon by 2 or 3 o'clock—the Royal Sovereign and accompanying vessels having passed Tynemouth Castle about 10 o'clock last night, with a fine westerly breeze. With a view to clear the small islands to the northward, the fleet kept a large offing from this part of the coast—say ten or twelve miles. I state this on the authority of different ship-captains, who have come in this morning. His Majesty, it appears, reached Scarborough, in good health and spirits, yesterday about 3 P. M. His yacht lay to an hour, during which period he was greeted with a Royal salute from the batteries, the cliff and all the neighbour- ing coast being covered with an immense concourse of people, eager to testify. their joy that his Majesty had got so far safe on his voyage. The day before yesterday, (i. e. Sunday), immense numbers of persons went down to Tynemouth from this town and neighbou i rhood, in expectation of getting a sight of the Royal squadron on its passage north. Amongst the curious, even, were the Judges of Assize, (the' Lord Chief-Justice, Sir C. Abbott and Sir George Wood), who went down by water in the Mayor's barge in the afternoon. The fleet of small craft that appeared in the offing was altogether an astonishing sight; there could not be less than from 3 to 480 boats—coroP rising steam-packets, pleasure-boats, coal.keels, &c. &c., bearing f 33 g 3' and ornamented in a variety of ways. Had his Majesty en' countered this flotilla, the sight would doubtless have Po' most cheering to his feelings ; nor could he well have cot° . plated a finer symbol of his ancient and loyal town of Ne v : castle than what was presented in a GOOD KEEL ! Thog e what we are speaking of took place on Sunday, the sari= s: .s3 was continued the whole of yesterday, (Monday), the sea -Y-10 being literally lined with people the whole day. In tie /tft :r °f .. noon the Mayor, the Sheriff, and several friends, saileci3Ot Shields harbour to the southward, in the fine police-boat, b' longing to the Corporation; but unlyckily the pleasure Was,, °' nied them of greeting our beloved Sovereign on the waters. We have not the, slightest doubt that the re ' ported death of the Duke of WELLINGTON 1 5 116 ; thing legs than a wicked fabrication, calcul ate ' to harrass the feelings of the Noble Du l ' es Friends,—to increase the painful exciteme nt °f the Public mind, occasioned by the recent de plorable catastrophe at North Cray,—and, P er : haps, (we shudder at the bare supposition of such atrocity), for the purpose of inducing the c ° ' mission of that very act, which the rumour Pr e " tended had been already acco m plished. °°' Readers, of course, recollect, that an injuri °° rumour, respecting the Illustrious Duke al:,1 young NEY, was fabricated about twelve rna uth since, and greedily seized and dilated ul: 3 ° a portion of the public Press, until it was cOry tradicted by a letter from the Duke of WEI- 1 ' 156 ' TON himself, addressed to. the Editor of the Paper in which . the mis-statement had first m ade its appearance. Who can it be that thus Purl ue the steps of the Duke, when his high duties ta ll 5 him abroad, for the purpose of associating great name with funereal imagery, and of trar. : ,smitting to his affrighted country the false that her Hero has perished ?
