TIE: CANADA BILL. [Extract of a L etterfront Lozzer Canada, Jane 11.] "The report of the union of Upper and Lower Canada having now assumed a more decided tone, the fears and jealousies of all who profit, or who expect to profit, by the continuance of th e present bad state of affairs, begin to appear; the measure will be supported with unabating energy by all the well informed and well dis. posed part of the community ; and the different sides which may be taken will irrevocably fix the 'characters Of the individuals of both parties, distinguishing the nmu of enlarged views, correct understandings, and genuine loyalty, from those of a contrary stamp.—As the business will be settled in England, the Demagogues will not re- quire to be bought, but there will certainly be much dirty intrigue employed by some local interests and establishments to prevent that loss of places or that hold of the public money which the present abuses encourage." NEW ENGLAND COFFEE HOUSE, JuLv 24. COWES, JULY 23. --The American ship, lloward, from New York in 42 days, Captain H ior•RtnGE, landed dispatches at Havre de Grace, containing the ratification of the differences ex isting between the United States of America and Prance, relative to the extra Tonnage Duty, which is to cease on the Ist of October next. New York Papers arrived this morning to the 3 d July. ST. DOMINGO.—The following information is furnished us by Captain CHAMBERLAIN, who ar rived at Norfolk from St. Jago de Cuba ; he states that, a day or two previous to his leaving, 4ec "ots arrived from Samana that a French flee t had arrived in that bay ; the officers were on sno re and an important negociation was going on, t he object of which was not known, but supposed t o relate to a cession of a part of the Island of St . Domingo to the French Government. The fleet in question consisted of six or seven frigates. New York Papers to h Ist of July, received las t night, contain the following Commercial P- Preaty, concluded on the 24th June, between the United States and France. The Articles of the Treaty are constructed on strictly reciprocal Pri nciples, and are very favourable to the corn- Ille rcial intercourse of both Countries, though th eir effects are still to be seen on their agri culture and manufactures respectively.

For which purpose the said Consuls and Vice-Consuls shall address themselves to the Courts, Judges, and Officers competent, and shall demand the said deserters in writing, proving by an exhibition of the registers of the vessel, or ship's roll, or other official documents, that those men were part of the said crews; and on this demand, so proved (saving, however, where the contrary is proved), the delivery shall not be refused ; and there shall be given all aid and as sistance to the said Consuls and Vice-Consuls, for the search, seizure, and arrest of the said deserters, who shall even be de- tained, and kept in the prisons of the country, at their request and expence, until they shall have found an opportunity of sending them back.

JOHN QUINCY ADAMS (L. S.) G. HYDE DE NEIJVILLE (L. S.) Separate Article.—The extra duties levied on either side before the present day, by virtue of the Act of Congress of the 15th May 1820, and of the Ordinance of the 26th July of the same year, and others confirmative thereof, and which have not already been paid back, shall be refunded. Signed and sealed as above, this 24th day of June, 1822. JOHN QUINCY ADAMS. (L. S.) G. HYDE DE NEUVILLE. (L. S.) Separate Article.—lt is agreed that the extra duties specified in the first and second articles of this Convention, shall be levied only upon the excess of value of the merchandise im ported, over the value of the merchandise exported in the same vessel, upon the same voyage. So that if the value of the ar ticles exported shall equal or exceed that of the articles im ported in the same vessel, (not including, however, articles imported for transit or re-exportation,) no such extra duties shall be levied; and if the articles exported are less in value than those imported, the extra duties shall be levied only upon the amount of the difference of their value. This article, however, shall take effect only in case of ratification on both sides ; and not until two months after the exchange of the ratificatioc.i. But the refusal to ratify this article on either side, shall in no wise affect or impair the ratification or the validity of the pre ceding articles of this Convention. Signed and sealed as above, this 24th day of June 1822. JOHN QUINCY ADAMS. (L. S.) Cr. HYDE DE NEUVILLE. (L. S.) Now, therefore, be it known, that I, James Monroe, Presi dent of the United States, in pursuance of the authority afore said, do hereby suspend, 'from and after the first day of October next, until the end of the next Session of Con gress, the operation of the Act aforesaid, entitled " An Act to impose a new tonnage duty on French ships and vessels, and for other purposes," and also all other du ties on French vessels and the goods imported in' the same which may exceed the duties on American vessels, and on similar goods imported in the same, saving only the dis criminating duties payable on French vessels and on articles the growth, produce, and manufacture of France, imported in th e same, stipulated by the said convention to be paid. In testimony whereof, I have caused the Seal of the United States to be affixed to these presents, and signed the same with my hand. Done at Washington, the 24th of June, in the year of our Lord one thousand, eight hundred and twenty-two, and of the Independence of the United States the forty-sixth. By the President: JAMES MONROE. JOHN QUINCY ADAMS, Secretary of State. The House of Commons was last night occu pied with the consideration of several interesting and important topics. The Lord Advocate of Scotland renewed the agitation of BORTHWICK'd case, by moving " that there be laid before the House a copy of the authority under which the Clerk of the Court of Justiciary in Scotland ob tained power to prosecute Muunky BORTHWICK before that Court, though the case was that of private parties." The Learned Lord stated that when those instructions were produced, enough would be disclosed to vindicate the parties who issued them from the imputation of undue motives. He complained of having been taken by surprisg when Mr. ABERCROMBY brought forward his accusation, particularly as re garded Mr. lIorE and Mr. MENZIES, toward whom, he thought, the Honourable and Learned Member had not acted with courtesy and scarcely with strict justice. The motion of the Learned Lord was agreed to.—Mr. CANNING presented a Petition from the Merchants, Ship-owners, and Underwriters of the Port of Liverpool, com plaining of the depredations committed upon British Shipping in the South American Seas, and about the West India Islands, by pirates, chiefly issuing from the Spanish , Colonies, and suggested that, if Spain were no longer able to repress the lawless violence of her piratical subjects in those regions, our own Government ought to take care to afford the requisite protection to the commerce of the country. From the expla nations given by Sir GEORGE COCKBURN and the Marquis of LONDONDERRY, it appeared that Go vernment had at first, on the occurrence of these excesses becoming known, transmitted orders to the Naval Officers stationed in those seas, to seize on all vessels that had no legitimate autho rity, if they could be proved to have committed any depredations on our trade ; but the depre dations were seldom committed on the high seas, or within the observation of our ships of war. The pirates chiefly issued from the southern parts of the island of Cuba. It was their practice, when our ships of war were not in sight, to make sudden attacks on merchant vessels, with armed boats. Having captured a merchantman, they generally run her on shore, and immediately took out her cargo. If pursued, they fled into the interior of the country, where it was impossible to pursue them. Representations had been made to the Spanish Government, which had promised to use every exertion for the extirpation of the pirates, and had issued orders to that effect. There was also every disposition in the local South American Governments to put an end to the disgraceful and cruel atrocities of these banditti. The British Government, however, had resolved not to rely on the efforts of Spain, or her Colonial Authorities ; and an inti mation had been given to the Cabinet of Madrid, that unless its measures of repression were speedy and efficient, it would become neces sary for Great Britain to take into her own hands the protection of her commerce, and to adopt the most prompt and vigorous measures for securing her flag from insult and her subjects from outrage.—ln consequence of a conversation which arose on the presentation of a Petition in favour of the " Canada Govern ment and Trade Bill," the Marquis of *LONDON DER on the suggestion of Mr. Ewer, con sented to divide the Bill, and to defer that part of it which provided for the incorporation of the Legislatures of the two Canadas, until next Ses sion.—Mr. LENNARD'S motion relative to the re cognition of the new Colombian Government was ti negatived by a majority of 53 to 18.—The mo tion was opposed by Lord LONDONDERRY, chiefly on the ground of the absence of specific information as the actual state of the relations between Spain and the South American Provinces. CITY, TUESDAY EVEN ING.—The English Funds continue still uncommonly inanimate.—Consols for the August Account opened at 79k, were done at 79i, rose again to 794, and closed at from this price to 80. The French Rentes are dearer, hav ing been done at 91, 75, a 92 ; Prussian Old Bonds are 883, and the New Loan 85ii ; Columbian Sixes are 84 ; Spanish Old Bonds are 623 4, and the New 611 Gentlemen acquainted with the Spanish Government think, that the par tial change which has lately taken . place in the Administration, will do much to confirm the liberties of the subject, and to pre vent a recurrence of the late disgraceful attempt to restore igno rance and despotism, after such a virtuous struggle for freedom, as well civil as religious. The characters of the New Ministers are well known to be friendly to rational Liberty, and they have always shewn great determination in all their actions. Danish Fives are quoted at 861, a 87; Neapolitan at 713 ; Russian Metallic Fives 78 ; and Mr. ROTHSCHILD'S New Russian Loan 811 : Austrian Fives are 78, and Chili 794 4. The Ex change on Paris this day is 25, 60, a 573 ; on Hamfmrgh 37-6 a 37-5 ; Amsterdam 12-54, a 12-5 ; Antwerp 12-3, a 12-2? ; ; and money remaining over on all places, indicates a further de cline. On the Sugar-Market there were sold this day 1,600 hogsheads ; of these 140 casks Barbadoes were sold at 63 to 73, and the remainder went off at last week's prices ; 500 casks and 600 bags of coffee were likewise 'sold; .Jamaica fetched from 135 to 140 ; and middling to good middling at 122 to 132 ; good and fine ordinary 101; to 118 ; and Dominica 107-6 a 108. rood and fine ordinary 1011 to 118; arid Dominica 107.6 a 108. I'he proposed alteration in the duty of Molasses is understood to be abandoned for the present, and this article is accordingly better sale.—( Morning Chronicle.) Yesterday his Royal Highness the Duke of YORK held a Levee as Cornmande,r in -Chief, at his Office in the Horse Guards, which was at tended by between 30 and 40 Military Officers. The 66th Regiment, under the command of Colonel NICHOL, has been appointed to attend his MAJESTY on his visit to Scotland, and left Sunderland on Saturday last on their route to Edinburgh. We understand that the Corporation of Edin burgh have it in contemplation to give his MA JESTY a splendid entertainment in the Parlia ment House, to which invitations are to be issued without regard to political opinions. —(Glasgow Chronicle.) The American Papers mention that, on the 19th June, MANticr. TORRES was presented to the PRESIDENT of the United States, and received in his official capacity, as Charge d'Affaires from the Republican Government of Columbia. We learn, by the accounts from the United States, that the Irish, resident in New York, Boston, and other American ports, had it in con templation to raise a subscription for their suffer ing countrymen at home. Va. YATES THE ACTOR.-We are sorry to state that this Gentleman will not be able to exhibit his talents at Vauxhall, in consequence of having broken his leg last night. It seems that having gone through the rehearsal of his part, to the satisfaction of all present, a plank, over which he had occasion to pass, gave way, and his leg snapped in two. Much, however, is expected from the skilful attendance of Mr. WHITE of Parliament-street. The beautiful new Church of Frant,near Tun bridge Wells, one half of which has been erected at the expence of the Earl of ABERGAYENNY,and the South Chancel at the cost of the Marquis CAMDEN, and constitutes his family seat, was opened for divine service on Sunday last, when a sermon was preached to a large conregatio❑ by the Hon. and Rev. WM. NEVILLE, Vicar of that Parish, and of Biding in this County.—(Kentish Gazette.) FASHIONABLE ARRIVALS.

FASHIONABLE PARTIES• Countess Grey entertained a large party offashionables an Monday evening at her house in Hanover-square. The Earl and Countess of Mansfield gave a sumptuous en. tertainment yesterday to the Princess Augusta, the Duchess of Kent, the Duchess of Gloucester, and a large party of distin guished personages at Caen Wood, Hampstead. Lord Holland entertained a select party at dinner yesterday at Holland House. Mr. Petre gave a ball and supper, on. Monday evening, at his mother's (Lady Julia Petre) house, in Grosvenor-square.— The three drawing-rooms were most superbly illuminated ; the principal and the adjoining one were fitted up with great ele gance for dancing, which commenced about 11 o'clock. The supper was prepared in the grand dining.parlour, which consist ed of every delicacy of the season, with fruits and - wines of the most choice description. Dancing continued till nearly six yes terday morning. There were present upwards of 100 distin guished fashionables. MARRIAGE IN HIGII LtrE.—The account of the Marriage between Lady JANE LENNOX and LAWRENCE PEEL, Esq., which we took from the Court Circular yesterday, was not, we understand, correct. The ceremony was not performed, ,as stated, at the Dowager Duchess of Richmond's, Waterloo placa, but at St. James's Church, Piccadilly. The following article appears in a Morning Paper relating to a Marriage which took place on Saturday last at Knaresbo rough. We omit the names of the parties for obvious reasons : —" Soon after the ceremony, the harmony of the wedding-day was considerably interrupted by the appearance of Gentle man, who stated that the bridegroom had another wife, who was living in Dublin, uncertain of the residence of her husband. The solicitations of the Lady's friends, however, proved un. availing to separate her from her husband, and they imme. diately set oft' together in a chaise for York. A very handsome dinner, which had been provided at the Crown Inn, was left untasted, the whole of the wedding party having separated at this unexpected denouement." 11—Rn OWGATE.-This delightful watering place appears to have taken a laudable and active interest towards the distressed Irish. The sum of 401. was recently collected at our Church. There has also been an Amateur Concert for their benefit ; the leading Patrons were—the Honourable Wm. HEItBERT, Sir WILLIAM and Lady INGLEBY, Sir THOMAS SLINGSBY, &c. &c., and 500 persons were present. Upon this philanthropic occasion Mr. TIIACKERY, the spirited Pro prietor of the Crown Inn, brought forward in a superior style of elegance a Ball and Concert, which were very numerously attended, on the 11th inst. ; and at the same place a sumptuous dinner was also served up to 150 visitors. We hope that other provincial towns will be induced to follow so meritorious an example. ....' ,4 . :.:', ~:- , -' .. , t, . to , ot ,i n• •-t- . ..." ,',ll ..:' • .- - ' 6 v.; i\ , ~4 AVl:!lad-'1 4c, ... , ' • ( Air; '.1 4i . i1, - i 7) ''..b1N.•,,,','...11rA7' , 0 , f-q X .

Nor heat of the day Nor chill of the night, hath yet injur'd its bloom, Nor canker, nor mildew, hath caus'd its decay, Nor bee hath yet revell'd amongst its perfume. And as I present it with friendship mast pure, I would it may prove a fit emblem of thee, From the world and its direful contagion secure, From its follies, and vices, preserv'd may'st thou be. When grief shall assail thee, may that soothin g vo i ce , Which alone can dispel the dark shadows of pain, Speak peace to thy bosom, and bid thee rejoice, In what shall conspire for thine heavenly gain. When thy prospects in life wear a radiant glow, When all thou desir'st to thy wishes are given, When largely possess'd of each comfort below, Forget not the bountiful donor in heaven. The bard lays down his harp—and feels proud to behold His rose-bud so carefully placed in thy breast : May God—when in death thou art silent and cold, Raise thee, thus unsullied, to mansions of rest. E. FAITHFUL SERVANTS.—The following inscrip tion appears on a plain marble flag place on the North side, and within the Church of Hornsey, Middlesex. Such a memo rial is honourable to the persons who placed it there, as well as to the deceased, and may tend to operate as an inaentive to do mestic fidelity : Elected to the memory of MARY PARSONS, the diligent, faithful, and affectionate Servant of one Family, during a pe riod of fifty-seven years.—She died 22d of November, 1806, aged 85 years. Also to the memory of ELIZABETH DECKER, the Friend and Companion of the above, who, after an exemplary service of forty-seven years in the same Family died the 3d of Febru ary, 1809, aged 75 years. Their remains, at their mutual request, were interred in the same grave. GIL BLAS.—A Musical Drama of three acts, derived from the admirable novel of this name, is, it seems, expected from the pen of Mr. PEAKE, jun., to whom the public are indebted for Ama teurs and Actors, and other successful pieces.— A play with this title was represented many years ago at Drury-Lane Theatre, written by Mr. Moo RE, the author of the tragedy of The Gamester, and of Fablesfor the Female Sex,and the conductor also of an admirable periodical paper, in the manner of The Spectator, which first appeared in 1753, entitled The World, and which was support ed by Lord CHESTERFIELD, OWEN CAMBRIDGE, Esq., Mr. WHITEHEAD, the Poet Laureat, II o- RACE WALroLE, and, indeed, all the chief wits of the time, and which will be a standard work as long as genuine humour and literary taste exist in this country. Mr. MOORE was himself one of the principal writers in that work. His Comedy of Gil Bias, however, did not succeed, though it was protected by all the Nobility of the time, as well as supported by the unrivalled acting of Mr. GARRICK. Mr. PEAKE has displayed so much comic power by his several dramatic sketches, and his composition for MATHcws's recent recitation, that we hope to see the Spa nish hero make a distinguished figure on the English Stage. The play is, of course, to come forth at that prolific mine of dramatic humour, THE ENGLISH OPERA HOUSE. Gloucester Theatre opened on Monday, under the management of Messrs. ABBOTT and FARLEY, from Covent-garden, both well known and long admired on the metropolitan stage. MR. WALTER and MR. BARRY O'MEARA. In Mr. OtMEARA's Work, " A Voice from St. Helena," there is the following passage:- 1 "In 1814, the Editor of The 'Hl*** newspaper was paid. about three thousand pounds of your money, besides having a great number of copies taken. I told you before that I found his receipt among Blacas' papers, on my return from Elba. Ido not know if he is in their pay now. In that year, also, a great number of pamphlets were printed in London against the Bourbons, and copies of each sent over to them, with a threat of publication if they were not paid. The Bourbons were greatly frightened, and greedily bought them up. - There was one pamphlet in particular, a terrible libel against the late Queen of France, which it cost them a large sum of money to suppress." The passage is copied into The Times of the 15th inst., and commented on in the following terms :—" It will be observed, that the enormity of the lie is very cautiously compensated by the obscurity, above noticed, in which it is worded." Whom does Mr. O'Meara expect to put confidence his account of Bonaparte ? The politicians of this country ? But we 'lava, had dealings with most of. them ; and they must know from their own experience that he lies if he charges us with venality. They must know the above story to be an invention, if we are meant ; and who can be meant but us ? And if a man invents one lie, of course he will invent a thousand. Such is the con duct due to Mr. o‘3leara's book." Mr. O'Meara, conceiving himself grossly outraged by the above remarks, in which he is directly charged with being the inventor of. a lie, applied, as we understand, without success to Mr. Walter, for explana tion or apology. Having fallen in with Mr. Walter, yesterday afternoon between five and six o'clock, shortly after his leaving the Stratford Club-house, Stratford Mews, we understand, he proceeded very unceremoniously to apply a horse-whip to him in presence of several spectators. In stating the transaction we have deemed it necessary to mention also the circumstances which gave rise to it.—(llfcrning Chronicle, July 23, 1822.) It is stated in a morning paper of yesterday that Mr. Walter, of Printing-house -square, had been assaulted on Monday after noon by Mr. Barry O'Meara, in consequence of some obser vations on his book which had lately appeared in The Times journal. The statement is utterly false as regards Mr. Walter, though Mr. ,Barry O'Meara may e n jo y a ll th e g l ory o f h av i ng bren the King's peace, and will doubtl ess a tt a i n th e unen vied satisfaction of bearing the consequences. The fact is, that Mr. Walter, at the time the out rage h a pp ene d, was 40 miles from London, where he had be e n f or some wee k s ; an d that the Duke of Wellington, l or Mr. Wilberforce, might have been assaulted with equal propriety as the Gentleman who was the object of the outrage.—( 7'he Times, July 24. 1822.)

Yesterday the fight for a stake of One Hundred Sovereigns, between Dick Curtis and Peter Wanen, took place within two miles southward of town. The seconds and bottle-holders were Belcher and Shelton for Curtis, and Tom Owen and Ash Hudson for Warren. TILE BATTLE. Warren made Fives-court play, but Curtis avoided him ; a rally followed, and Curtis gave a left-handed ninz;:ler at full per centage, which drew claret invisibly between the grinders. 2. Warren was upon a waltz to get at his adversary', but Curtis seemed to understand breaking ground better than dancing; in a rally both were busy at work, and Warren was thrown from the close. 3to I on Curtis. 3 - Warren's head was in pickle, but he fought this round most gallantly ; he only went in to receive, and it was evident Curtis could win it. In a separation from the rally, 'Warren's head was so multifariously exchequered, that even Somerset house could not in its exquisite sensibility have relieved him. Poundage on Curtis. 4. A bit of a stop was made to the gaiety of Curtis by afluslt hit over the mouth. In a rally Warren played the harlequinade very naturally, his ideas being in a state of nothingness. 5. Curtis had brought his adversary's stonnage down to his mark, and here he commenced hisfinishing career ; his adver sary was as wild as a March hare ; strength was displayed by Curtis in a hugging match at the ropes, and Warren was floor ed heavily. 6. NlTarran was hit to all parts of the ring, and, as it was em phatically observed by a man of eminent abilities in the prize ring, Warren lost the lay down. He was dead beat, and the smile on his countenance was changed to that of a misanthrope. The 10th round settled the fight. Curtis had knocked his adversary about until he was himself tired, and got a slap in the mouth for his pains. This happened in the Bth round, and some odds were taken, but Curtis had the best of a wrestle, and threw his adversary. In the 10th and last round Curtis was not content with one and two, but he let loose with the left hand, which told upoa the bridge of the nose; his right followed on the jaw, and his left was at work again upon the eye, until his adversary was (leaf to " time." Curtis won the battle with a solitary slap of the mouth. The second fight between Parish, the waterman, and Lash brook, the gingerbreadman, was not worth notice. CORN EXCHANGE, JULY 24. The market this morning, as of late, was well supplied with Grain, and but little doing; the prices remain as on Monday for every thing. Our market will now be harvest markets, de pending entirely upon the weather till that is safely housed. IMP INTELLIGENCE. SOUTHWARK, JULY 22.—Our trade continues particularly dull, and though there are no sales made, we observe the prices asked are very much on the decline. The Duty is at 135,000/. MAIDSTONE, JULY 22.—The very warm showers and hot weather during the past week have much improved our Hop Plantations, so far as relates to the growth of bine, but the branching and blooming have not generally improved, we see but very little difference in this respect for the last fortnight. We are more and more convinced that the Grapes can do but little, or do the Golden and Canterbury sorts promise more than half a crop—it must be remembered full 3-4ths of the plantations are Grape Hops—therefore, where the present stated amount of the Duty is to come from, we are at a loss to ac count. Apology for Turki.ilt polyginny.—Lady . C— was one day rallying the Turkish Ambassador concerning its being permit ted in the Alcoran to each Mussulman to have many wives. 'Tis true, madam," replied the Turk, " and it permits it, that the husband may, in several, find the various accomplish ments which many English women like your Ladyship singly possess." - ARABIAN RESPECT TO WOMEN.—SO great and so sacred is the respect of the Bedouin Arabs for the fair sex, that the presence, the voice even of a woman, can arrest the up lifted scimeter charged with death, and 'bid it fall harmless. Whoever has committed a crime, even murder, is safe if a woman takes him under her protection ; and the right of par doning is so completely established in favour of the sex, that, in some tribes where they never appear before men, and in others where they are occupied in the tents, if a cri minal can escape to their tent, he is saved. The moment he is near enough to be heard, he cries aloud, " I am under the protection pf the harem !" At these words all the women reply, without appearing, " Fly from him !" and were he con demned to death by the !prince himself, and by the council of the principal persons of this tribe, the punishmeflt of his crime is remitted without hesitation immediately, and he is allowed to go where he pleases.
