The RYDE REGATTA is fixed for Monday, August 19th instant, and at no preceding Regatta has so much interest been excited from the number of fine boats entered for the Sailing Matches, and the great improvement which has taken place in their equipment since the establishment of the Annual Regatta, and the state of the tide on that day named, which will be up the greater part of the day, rendering the Pier, which extends 1500 feet into the sea, a delightful place for viewing the whole of the detail of the Sailing Matches, and for enjoying The pure and refreshing sea breeze for which this fashionable and improving watering place is so celebrated.

This town now presents a gay and animated scene ; our streets are graced with many elegant equipages, and our rivers with many gentlemen's yachts and boats. The race-course is in fine order ; and expectation is at its height respecting the sport which will take place next week. Neither exertions nor ex pences have been spared by, the Stewards, to contribute to the comfort of those who will be present. Ten horses are entered for 100 sovereigns, and six for the sweepstakes with 501. a dd e d f rom the fund, for the first day. Five horses are also named for the sweepstakes on 'the second day : many more,it 'is expected, will be yet entered. The Ordinaries will, no doubt, be well attended.

VAUXHALL G ARDEN S.-Yesterday being his MAJESTY'S Birth-Day, a splendid fete was given at this deli&htful place of amusement in the evening, which was more fashionably and numerously attended than any commemora tion of the kind has been for many years. The brilliancy of the illumination had the most striking effect, and the vari ous devices appropriate to the occasion were executed with much taste. In addition to the vast increase which was made in the number of variegated lamps, the amusements by which it is contrived to keep the attention alive for such a number of hours were considerably augmented and diversified. The most celebrated Performers on the Slack and Tight Rope ex. hibited their feats ; and Ramo Samee went through his evolu tions on a more extensive theatre, and before a imore crowded assembly than ever. But it would be tedious to enume rate the diversities of the evening. especially as they have been already deScribed with sufficient accuracy in the bills. A Grand Concert of Vocal and Instrument Music is, however, too im portant a feature to be dismissed among. the et cetera , without any other notice than general approbation. We shall therefore say of it, that it was very well executed in all its parts ; and that we were gratified to find among the vocal corps our old favourite Mrs. Bland, who was .in excellent voice, and sung with all the sweetness and feeling to which she owes her eminence in the profession. The national anthem of " God save the King" was performed in a style of excellence which deserved an encore. Nothing could exceed the regularity observed in the different departments of an entertainment so various. It reflects much credit on the respective conductors, as well as on the directing mind by which the whole was superintended ; and we make no doubt that the result will reward the proprietors, not only by its immediate profits, but by reflecting additional popularity on their establishment.

His Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex, President of the Society of Arts, &c., London, has lately presented the So ciety's large medal to Mr. Thom, of Rothesay, for his very ingenious invention of a series of self-acting Sluices for regu lating the supply of water between Reservoirs and Mills, Canals, &c. ; and also for a new method of collecting water for Reservoirs, and for economising it afterwards. By these means Mr. Thom has been enabled to. set aside steam-en gines to the extent of thirty horses power, which were for merly used at Rothesay Mills, and to supply their place by water, for two years past, notwithstanding the great drought of both last summer and the present. Were similar plans adopted at Mills where water is scarce, similar effects would be produced. Indeed, in most cases, the supply of water might be doubled, or, in other words, between in creasing the supply, and economising it afterwards, the water might be made to produce double its former effect. The me thod by which this is done is so very simple, and the expense comparatively so small, that there is little do u bt o f th e prac tice becoming general as soon as it is fully known.—( Glasgow Courier, 4uguat 10. ) THE MARQVIS OF LONDONDERRY. The following particula - rs of the death of this great Statesman, and encomiums on his charac ter, are selected froth the Morning Papers of this day : iMOUNING POST.] We hive had to record in our time many national losses and inflictions : but never have we had a more painful task to per forth than that which the sudden demise of this accomplished Nobleman and highly-gifted Minister imposes upon us. .This calamity (for a grievous calamity to the country will it prove) occurred yesterday morning at his Lordship's seat at North Cray. Of the cause of this most lamentable event the accounts circulated differ in some, but in no material particulars. The following, which reached- us at a late hour last night, we believe to be the most correct :--" His Lordship had for some time been subject .to frequent attacks of what is denominated by medical men„ flying gout'.; but .no serious apprehension was entertained either by his Lord ship or his medical attendants, of the sudden and fatal result which has so unexpectedly taken place. His Lordship attended a Cabinet Council on Thursday last, in apparent good health. On Friday he had an audience of the King. On Sa turday, being seized with a species of stupor, he was cupped, and experienced, in consequence, considerable relief. Early on the Sunday morning, his Lordship had a sudden attack of the gout,:which increased very considerably during the day.— In the evening, Mr. Lashford was dispatched to town for Dr. Bankhead, his Lordship's Family Physician. During the night, the symptoms that manifested themselv6s were not only truly. alarming, • but, uncontroulable by every medical means, and at nine o'clock yesterday morning his Lordship expired." This melancholy intelligence was brought to the Foreign Of fice about. eleven o'clock yesterday by Mr. Vick, a King's Mes senger. The agitation and confusion which it created in all the Government Offices can scarcely be described. Dispatches were immediately sent to all the Cabinet Ministers who wire out of town, and also to his Majesty, on whose birth-day this calamitous event happened. The effect in the city was so great, notwithstanding the doubts entertained, as to produce an immediate fall of half per cent. in the Funds.—From the con sequence of his family, his Lordship found himself at an early age engaged in political; and a seat in the Irish Parliament enabled him to biing into action, and to mature by experience, those abilities which weree,afterwards to shine on a wider stage ; the talents which he displayed having shevin that he was quali fied for services of an important nature, he was intrusted as Secretary for Ireland with the public administration of his country, and was one of the chief agents in proposing and carry ing into -effect the great measure of the Union, which formed ed the three Kingdoms into one solid and mighty empire. The calumnies with which defeated malignity assailed him at the time, he has had the satisfaction to see discredited by the good, and ultimatelyretracted by their propagators. The whole tenour of his life was, in fact, their most triumphant refutation. On the accomplishment of the Union he took his seat in the Parliament of the United Kingdom as Chief Secretary for Ireland, in which situation he continued till his temporary retirement from office with theimmortzl.Pitt. Soon after, however, he was raised to the head of a more important branch of the Administration, and entered into a more extended sphere, not only as Minister of the War and Colonial Department, but as President of thd Board of Controul. On the return of Mr. Pitt to office, he still retained those Offices, but resigned them on the death of that great man, whose Administration was succeeded by that of Lord Grenville and Mr. Fox. In the Portland Administra tion which succeeded, Lord Castlereagh was again appointed to the War and Colonial Department. The cause of his resig nation it is unnecessary here to explain ; and the duel which took place would have given more satisfaction than pain to the pub lic, had it not been followed by the secession of two of the ablest Members of Administration from office. Being soon after called 'upon to take - a leading part in the Government, his Lordship chose a post more suited to his comprehensive mind, than his former situation, which had confined him to a parti cular province. As Minister. for Foreign Affairs, the whole world was his field of action, and richly has he stored it with monuments of his wisdom, his energy, and his genius. Never did Minister enter into the exercise of his charge at a time of greater difficulty and danger. France was still in the pleni tude of her power. Her victorious Ruler, at the head of the collected forces of the Continent, was trampling upon the re sistance of Russia, and cutting his way to her ancient capital. The world lay appalled, and all thought of its being pos sible to assist the invaded, and to rescue mankind from the shame and bondage of universal empire, was repressed as soon as born, as too preposterous to be entertained. Lord Castlereagh alone (the late Marquis) felt his spirit equal to the mighty task. Whilst millions shrunk in despair, he combined die elements of success; he gave them form—lie gave them life—he gave them action—and that action came like a tempest, and swept the con queror and his congregated empire from the earth. By skilful negociations and judicious treaties, by liberal advances, by active exertions wherever the enemy was vulnerable, and by that fixed determination which no difficulty can alter, no peril turn aside, joined to powers of persuasion which owed their influence to the just views and disinterested motives which they were employed - to enforce, was this mighty result produCed, and the face of the political world more changed in the course of a few months than that of creation after the Deluge. Yet. all was not ac complished. Consolidation must follow restoration, and what had been gained by war mast be secured by peace. Here, too, was the triumph of our Minister complete. Without lett ing England abandon the high station of 'Arbiter of Europe, he disentangled her from all those Continental chains and inte rests which might have drawn her against her will, - had they subsisted, into future contests. That his system was founded on just views, and carried into effect with due vigour, is proved by the fact, that the ;Peace to which it gave birth survives its author. As a man, whatever differences might have exist ed between him and his opponents in a political point of view, he obtained and deserved the admiration of all those who had the. pleasure and honour of his per sonal acquaintance. In a domestic point of view, whether as a husband, a master, a landlord, or a friend, we believe few men possessed more eminent virtues. Ills heart was always open to a tale of distress, and his hand ready to grant relief where the means were within his power. The Noble Marquis was eldest son to the late Marquis of Londonderry, to whose title he succeeded on leis demise in 1821. lie was born June 18th, 1769, and was consequently at his death 53 years of age. His Lordship married on the 9th June, 1794, Amelia Hobart, youngest daughter and co-heiress of John, second Earl of Buck inghamshire, the present Marchioness. His Lordship dying without issue, his titles and estates descend to his brother Lord Stewart, the present Ambassador at the Court of Vienna. This noble branch of the house of Stewart descended from Sir Thomas Stewart, of, Minto, second son of Sir William Stewart, of Galles, ancestor of the Earls of GalloWay. The father of the late Marquis was created.to the dignity of Baron, London derry, Nov. 18, 1789 ; Viscount Castlereagh, Oct. '6, 1795 ; Earl of Londonderry, Aug. 10, 1796, and 111 - arquia of London derry a few years since.. Rumour last night named as his Lordship's probable successor Mr. Secretary Peel, who will be succeeded in the Home Department by aMr. Grant. [THE TIMES.] The Marquis of Londonderry has been described as the prop of the existing Ministry—with what truth is not yet appa rent. That he was one of the most remarkable men to be found amongst the rulers of any enlightened people, will hardly seem paradoxical to those who compare his characteristics as Minister of State with the nature and magnitude of those emer gencies which called them into frequent action. As a member of society, apart from office, we bear a willing tribute to those valuable qualities. by which his Lordship acquired and preserved the affections of his numerous friends. We pass by the mere accomplishnients and elegancies which distinguished him, since to dwell upon them would be to depreciate his more solid vir tues. Lord Londonderry was a man of unassuming manners. of simple tastes, and (so far as regarded private life) of kind and generous dispositions. Towards the poor he was benefi cent : in, his family mild, considerate, and forbearing. He was flea to the connexions and associates of his earlier days, not only those of choice, but of accident, when not unworthy ; and to promote them, and to advance their interests, his efforts were sincere and indefatigable. In power he forgot no service rendered to him while he was in a private station, nor broke any promise, expressed or implied, nor abandoned any friend who claimed and merited his assistance. These are good sound qualities of a moral agent, and in the estimate of general worth they have a high redeeming power.—An outcry has been often raised against Lord Castlereagh, for giving countenance to the horrid floggings and torturings practised during the deplorable season of 1798: but in in his winding-sheet we are bound to do him justice. It was not suspected by well-informed in.en at the time, that either the Secretary, the Lord Lieutenant, or the British officers and soldiers then in Ireland, were parties to that abominable system. It was the fanatics of the Orange faction who gave a loose to such excesses, under a dreacful but not unnatural thirst of vengeance for atrocities the most appal ling which had been, in the South of Ireland, perpetrated every where by the rebels. The Government, we believe, did go so far as remonstrances, to check the progress of inhuman cruelty and oppression ; but the Government itself was overpowered by its friends; and until the arrival of Lord Cornwallis with mi litary reinforcements, which placed him in a condition to com mand where his predecessor had vainly supplicated, the Orange.. men rode paramount over life, and liberty, and law. Of Lord Castlereagh's connivance at, much less participation in, those cruelties, although he was believed guilty, without trial, by the public, we never aeard a syllable from any impartial source ; and his native character and subsequent modes of action are of themselves enough to vindicate his memory from the stigma._ Of the Rebellion, and the next great event, the Union, we need say no more than that he derived from one of them the imputa tion of being the most barbarous—from the other, that of being the most profligate and corrupt of men; and that the manner in which his name was connected with both of them by the voice of ignorance or of party malice, has rendered him for many years the least popular Lishman that ever wielded the patronage of his country. It can not be indifferent to the nation to inquire by what strange union of circumstances, or by what unlucky direction of power, no one person has attained to high office in this coun try, at a period the most important aid ominous, the most fer tile in change, and the most fraught with terror of any of our annals, whose name was even capable deriving so much adven titious splendour from the magnificence of the passing era es to stand a chance of being visible in the eye of another genera tion. Whether is it from the growth of Royal influence, or the vicious disunion and consequent impotence of all popular party, that in meditating without one unfriendly or acrimonious feeling , on the sudden end of the most conspicuous Minister in this coun try, we must admire the manifest mediocrity of his genius —how little qualified he was to impress his own likeness on any single page of history; or how incapable to act but as a mere associate 7 —to be put forward in the face ofEurope or in that of the Com mons of England, not as himself a high and original porter, but as a passive organ for the expression of sentiments, or for the execution of measures, not hereafter traceable to a source more distinct than that of " twelve names unknown ?" Lord Londonderry was personally brave. Though leader of the House of Commons, he was, as a speaker, greatly open to animadversion. In argument he was shrewd, in manner com posed, in language, mostly careless—often ludicrous ; but by his general demeanour, acceptable to the body of the House. [NEW TIDIES.] The Marquis of Londonderry died yesterday morning. We have neither time nor inclination at this moment to enter into a detail of the Marquis of Londonderry's political life, nor into a particular examination of his character. At a moment of less agitation a review of the leading features of both may be interesting, although, in truth, little can be added to what is already known to the country at large. Lord London. derry was scarcely of age when he was first introduced into Parliament. He soon began to take an active part in politics, and has since made an important figure in the affairs, not only of Great Britain, but of the civilised world. Throughout his arduous career he exhibited courage the most inflexible. As a leader in the House of Commons he was re markable for extensive information, imperturbable serenity of temper, singular acuteness and address, great facility in reply, and a tact which appeared almost instinctive under circumstances the most delicate and momentous. His style of speaking had none of the Poetry of eloquence about it, and was com monly more remarkable for case .and fluency than for force and origihality ; but on some important questions, he rose far above the level of ordinary speakers, and produced a powerful effect. On all occasions he exhibit ed a versatility of talent, and an energy of mind, which often excited the admiration even of his most decided opponents. As a private man, his character was highly estimable. He was beloved by it numerous circle of friends, and regarded more as a father than as a landlord, by his tenantry. [MORNING CHRONICLE. A great sensation was yesterday produce in the metropolis by the intelligence of the death of the Marquis of Londonderry. His Lordship had, it seems, been slightly indisposed on Friday and Saturday last, and on Saturday evening he was cupped and used the warm bath. On Sunday, it is said, he consid ered himself better. The knowledge of this indisposition was not, lowever, general ; indeed it was nearly confined to his Lordship's friends and medical attendants, by whom we understand no apprehension was entertained of any serious danger. Yesterday .morning, however, the gout, of which his Lordship, as is well known, has had several severe at tacks, flew to his stomach and occasioned his sudden death. As a Statesman, his Lordship would seem to have been guided rather by temporary expediency than by fixed principles. It was im possible that he should not have benefited by his long expe rience ; but still his knowledge on many important subjects seemed neither extensive nor well concocted. He certainly, however, possessed no ordinary share of sagacity, and in diffi cult conjunctures be almost uniformly displayed great tact and presence of mind. Without being possessed of what is usually considered eloquence, without possessing even the power of giving arrangement to his speeches, with a style which set all criticism at defiance, ar:d abounding with the most ludicrous solecisms, he was yet a powerful and ef fective speaker. He seemed to be totally devoid of any thing approaching to enthusiasm, and to entertain by no means elevated notions of human nature. Hence, no doubt, his in difference with regard to social improvement and the future con dition of man. I - its manners were mild and conciliating, and his whole demeanour was always that of a perfect Gentleman. In firmness and fortitude, on occasions which demanded the display of these qualities, he was never deficient. The friends and de pendents of his Lordship we have always understood were great. ly attached to him. His unpopularity was, we believe, less the result of' the judgment formed of his conduct in this coun try than of the reports which followed him from Ireland.— With the - greater part of his countrymen his Lordship was no favourite. Of the part of his Lordship's history which connects itself with Ireland, however, we can form no opinion.—Conjec ture is of course busied with his Lordship's successor. Mr. Canning's was the first name which suggested itself, notwith standing the high and lucrative situation to which he has been lately appointed. But though political animosities sel dom hold out long against conveniency, the feeling supposed to be entertained towards Mr. Canning, in a certain quarter, and the opinions of each other, which the Lord Chancellor and him self have been at so little pains to conceal, seem to throw ob stacles in the way of his admission into the Cabinet at this time, We have heard that Lord Liverpool has named Sir Charles Stewart, our Ambassador in Paris, and that he is likely to be the succcsser. [BRITISH PRESS.] We are not apprehensive of being charged with insincerity when we affirm that it is with deep and unfeigned regret we have this day to announce the death of the Marquis of London derry. There are circumstances and feelings which we trust can exercise a kindly influence over society beyond the feverish and troubled circle of politics, and the world may join in lamenting over the death of a good man, without anxiously scanning his merits as a Statesman and a Minister. The Union of - the British and Irish Parliaments was his first great political achievement. Few men have occupied a larger share of public attention than the Marquis of Londonderry, and few have pur sued a political career more brilliant in its course, or in its re sults individually more fortunate. His talents seemed to have been happily formed for active life, and from whatever cause arising, his fame brightened and extended in proportion as the sphere of his exertions became more enlarged and more conspi cuous. As the Representative of the British Empire in the Congress of Kings, he yielded to none in those external attri butes and forms which attract the eye and gratify the mind of the million. His figure and countenance were manly, ingenu ous, and dignified, and his manners were peculiarly fascinat ing. His address was easy and apparently unreserved, but it was said of him that he possessed in a peculiar degree that talent that.belongs, we hope exclusively, to the habits of diplomacy • of dissembling the actual object of his wishes. Lordship, though a Peer of Ireland, continued after his accession to the title of his father to hold a seat in the House of Commons, where he represented an English borough. The urgent necessities of the Ministry required this sacrifice from the Noble Marquis; - for it would be difficult to finu another person so eminently qualified as he was for a leader of the business in the House of Commons. This statement must appear remarkable to those who have heard that the Noble Marquis was not distinguished for the style, the manner, or the expression of his parliamentary oratory. He was copious without distinctness, his ideas were not always well digested or well arranged, his words were frequently-ill-selected, and he was sometimes not intelligible where he seemed most anxious to be , communicative. This might have been the habit of his mind, or it might have been policy, but whatever momentary impulse such a defect might have occasioned, it seemed to have detract. ed very little from his efficiency as a parliamentary leader. He was in this character uniformly active and ready, he never suf fered a weak point in his opponents to escape observation, and he was singularly dexterous in urging all the strength of his own case. To these qualities he added those of an imperturbable temper, which bade defiance to ridicule or taunts, and a cool manifestation of a determined spirit, which would not brook the semblance of an insult. He was well known to possess a high sense of honour, and unshaken personal courage, which were the more esteemed by all parties, as he never condescended to unnecessary ostentation. It is highly gratifying to us to con clude these few remarks upon this eminent Statesman, by turning from the topics of public life, to view him in the rela tions of private society. In this point allparties, no matter of what political character;have concurred in giving him the most undivid ed applause. As a son l it must be said of him,that he consoled and brightened the declining days of his aged parent, who blessed him with his latest breath ; as a husband and a brother, his conduct has been equally exemplary ; and as a master, he was loved and honoured by his domestics. In the intercourse of friendly society he was admired and esteemed for his amiable qualities; and there is not one who ever had the honour and the pleasure of his acquaintance, who will not sincerely regret his sudden and melancholy death. [MORNING HERALD.] The deepest sensation was created yesterday, when the ac count of the death of Lord Londonderry was received in town. The first occasion in which his Lordship played an active cr conspicuous part-was the disastrous one of the Irish rebellion. The Secretary was the visible and acting arm of the (iovtrn meat ; —upon him was heaped the odium of all that was done by the runian satellites of the Government in authority beneath him, and of all that was resolved in Council above. We shall not take u ponus to measure out his Lordship's share in these unhappy transactions, but we willsav that he has been the victim on this poin t of obloquy and injustice. it was remarkable that this was th e only topic which ever ruffled his temper in debate. An imputa tion upon him for his share in Irish politics at thst period, thrown out from the Opposition benches, instantly called the blood into his cheeks, and drew from him such an an swer as apprised the assailant he was trading upon more delicate and perilous ground than that of ordinary political contention. -His participation in the Union is another accu sation against him. To examine this point would be to ex amine the measure itself, which we are little disposed to do at this time of day. Since the Union, his political life has been constantly under the eye of the British public. The most interesting light in which he can be viewed is that of a speaker in Parliament.—With few qualities of an orator, he was an ef fective, and sometimes even might be called a shining, debater. The engagin g nobleness of his person and manners g a ve w e i g ht in him to what would have dropped unnoticed from another : his imperturbable sang froid and rine tact, whilst they prevented his committing himself, gave him frequent advantages over the coarser perceptions and less governed temper of an adversary.__ His temperament was peculiar—at once impassive and intrepid— nothing provoked, nothing daunted him. He had that steady disregard of personal danger, which is the spring of enter prize, and without which a public man's tenure of public character is uncertain indeed. In private life he is said to have been estimable and amiable. His intercourse by letters with some of his early private friends in Ireland was kind and engaging, and without the slightest change of tone from his elevation in this country. - tie has never been what may be called a popular Minister, and in Ire land opinion once ran violently against him. But within'a very few years a great change had taken place in the feelings of the Irish towards him. He had even obtained some degree of popularity, which seemed to have given him remarkable gratiA tication. Ck? C) ,1i , .. - . 4, V , r • ~ . . 4: ' , • (-, -'14,-,_...-: . •.., '',, , - ~.4..

A motion in arrest of judgment was made on the part of the prisoners who were found guilty for the abduction of I%iiss Goold, by Messrs. O'Connell, Jackson, and Freeman. The ob jection lay in two points in the indictment,—viz., Ist, That the venue was not laid when the felony was alleged to have been committed—for that every distinct averment of fact must have a venue laid in the indictment, " then and there." The Learn ed Counsel then quoted the distinction which lay between mis demeanours and felony, from Minchin's Crown Circuit Com panion, p. 41, last edition, and observed, that the day and place of the assault was not sufficient, without having " then and there" embodied. The Learned Counsel laid his second objection against the " Termination Statute," in the concluding part of the in dictment, in the singular, which should be in the plural "'Statutes." Ile argued that, in substance, the indictment which lay against the prisoners was bottomed on two statutes; it was not merely a referential statute, that of the 19th of °eo n. c. 13, which was enacted to perfect the original statute cf the Cth Anne, sec. 7, upon which the indictment was founded, so that both substantially were necessary to bottom the indict ment, and that the termination in the indictment should Ix against the "statutes," and not " statute," as terminates iii the indictment. • Mr. LLOYD rebutted the points adduced by Mr. O'Connell, and read the indictment, " did feloniously and by force of arms take and carry away the said Honorah Ooold." The Learned Counsel thought the venue was laid sufficiently : when read, it clearly presented but one sentence.- The Learned Counsel stated the precedent to have been followed from one of the most eminent pleaders. He further strengthened his observations in support of the venue being sufficiently laid to make the indictment ruled on that point. In combating the second objection, which should make the termination be in the plural number, he con tended that the offence was not created in both statutes con junctively : it was created by the 6th of Anne, and was only re ferential in that of Geo. 11. The Learned Counsel illustrated his observations by quoting from Narkus' Statutes, which stated it might be laid either in the singular or the plural. The Crown Counsel, Messrs..Quin, Lloyd, and Gould, took an active part in the discussion. Messrs. Jackson and Freeman supported Mr. O'Connell. His Lordship felt no difficulty as to the termination in this case being in the singular " statute" as good ; but with respect to the venue he felt difficulty, for he had some doubts, and would refer the point to his Learned Colleague. The whole question Was, whether the venue was laid to the felony ? This law argument occupied a considerable time. Do vErt, AUG. 11.-Yesterday his Majesty's steam-packet the Dasher sailed for Calais, with his Grace the Duke of WELLINGTON, the Earl of HARROWBY, and Lord MARYBOROUGH. ilis Grace is proceeding to Flanders. This k the first time, since the battle of Waterloo, that his Grace has been allowed to arrive at, and depart from 'Dover without a salute from the guns on the Heights. Crowds of persons followed the Duke from WRIGHT'S Hotel to the beach, and rent the air with enthusiastic cheers as he posed. Letters received yesterday from Paris, .refer ring to advices from Havannah of the, beginning of June, mention that the opposition displayed in the Mexican Provinces against the no . minatiou of ITURBIDE, as Emperor, was so great. that an army of 6000 men, commanded by Geuerais Guadalupe Victoria, Santana, and Guerrero, was on its march against the capital. 10 the Re publican interest, Guadalupe. Victoria is an old Guerilla Chief, who espoused the cause of Inde pendence several years ago. GIBRALTAR, JULY is mentioned in a private letter from Cadiz of the 18th instant, that the convoy lately arrived from. the Havannah having lost 50 men on the passage, it was under stood that the crews would perform quarantine in the Castle of St. Sebastian. A Capidgi Bachi, charged by the Divan to poison the Viceroy of Egypt, was discovered in disguise a short time ago, and by order of the Viceroy was, ; buried alive. ITALtrAx, JULY 16.—1 i is asserted that it is not the intention of Admiral FAIIIE to visit this inclement coast during the present surrmer. We can hardly believe that such is the -fact. The naval yard in this place is falling into decay, much more rapidly than the persons who plc,- posed its abandonment could have anticipated ; and as the exertions of the Naval Commander-in- Chief and the squadron under his direction must have a tendency to render more remote, the pe riod of its destruction, and as , it is the duty . of an Officer holding such a command to protect the property of the public by every 'means in his power, we feel satisfied that a desire to presOrve the naval establishment in this town, as fat t ilts the Admiral's presence can have effect, will oat weigh any attractions which the istatad of Bet, muda can present.
