FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. , TAMS, Auo. 20.—1 n consequence of the satia;s flaiitory news the sanitary inspectors have receiv•-• ed from Barcelona, it appears that-the communi cation between Spain and France will soon be re- I opened. The markets which were formerly held in the line were held again two days ago. The Constitutionnel of this day says—" The disposition of England in the new Congress was judged of by the . choice of the Marquis of Lon donderry to represent the Cabinet there., It is on that aCtottrit that so much. importance is at tached to the knowledge of the diplomatist who is to succeed him. The intentions of Austria cannot be mis taken, since now, as heretofore, she will have 111. de Metternich as her representative. " As to Russia, it is not easy to foresee the at she'will take in the Congress. It was an nounced that M. Capo d'lstrias had lost a part of his influence at St. Petersburgli, and yet it now appears certain that this Minister will accompany the Emperor Alexander to Vienna or to Italy, I. Capo d'lstrias is a Greek by origin, and is considered the head of the Russian party that would favour the interest of Greece. There is reason to hope, therefore, that the sacred cause of ttait ancient and glorious nation will not be altogether abandoned. These conjectures give a degree of credit to the rumours which circulate in some diplomatic circles, that Russia, which at rst.seemed to be about to succour the Greeks, and which afterwards shewed other views, now returns to the system first attributed to it. " All these elements are to be brought into con ' net, and the most penetrating eye can scarcely g, psi the nature of the resolutions which will be the COTlSequew:e of it. What will be done can - only be ;edged of by what has been done. For s ome veers the present has been never like the past. The future will resemble it still less. We mast consult things, the reign of men is but tran sitory. With them their doctrines pass away. Let us hope, then, that the cause of humanity in Greece will not be forsaken, and that the cause of liberty in Europe, which nothing can destroy, will find also some defenders among the arbiters of the destinies of nations. The Council of War at Vienna have ad dressed an Order to their Admiral in the Medi terranean, bearing that the Austrian Government will not acknowledge the blockade which the In -surgents have declared as to several Turkish ports. The tenour of the document shows suf ficiently that the Court of Austria is not disposed to recognise the independence of Greece. What now interests the Greeks is, perhaps, not that -other nations should help them, but that they should not make common cause against them."— (Constitutionnel.) ODESsA, JULY 25.—There have been in this pert since the Greek insurrection several ships -.of Hydra and other islands of the Archipelago: When it was known that the third naval ex pedition had sailed from Constantinople, and :that the port of that city was without ships of . war, these intrepid mariners formed the design ..of going•to.Constantinople and burning the ar aenal. Perhaps this enterprise might have been . crowned with success, but our Government would not suffer the Greeks to go out of the port. — They have in consequence sold their ships, and returned to their own country by a circuitous route through Germany and Italy. It seems even that the Porte was warned of the plan, as it had taken measures to guard against the fire ships which'it expected to come from the Euxine. Several - vessels have brought us news from '.Constantinople to the 19th. The capital was tolerably tranquil,.and the Porte had contented itself up to that time with putting to death some rich Greeks of the Islands. The great Turkish . Beet seems, if not entirely destroyed, at least out -pf condition to be of service ; and the Turks will not speedily cope at sea with the Greeks. A .victOsy was also spoken of, which the Greeks had gained over the Egyptian squadron, after which the latter had returned to Alexandria. — The Turks knew of the taking of Napoli di Romania, Athens, Arta, and even Patras. All these events had made a deep impression on them. It is said that there were found in Napoli .di Romania more than 30,000 English muskets, cif which the Greeks had great need.—(Allge rneire Zeitung.) ANCONA, AUG. s.—The Captain of a ship from ;s oitica, and the letters he had brought from •that city, convey the following news : ".The Greeks of Cassandra, whom the Turks drove out of their -country last winter, took refuge in Psara. The inhabi -tack of !heti** afreid of some attempt on the part of the Turks, took them into posy in their land service, promising to reir-etate them on the first opportunity in their own country. %Conformably to this promise, when, after the disaster of the Turkish fled , • in the Channel of Scio, the islanders of Psara were out of danger, they armed a squadron of small vessels, . in which they embarked. the Casstutdrians. In the night of July 6, this squadron entered the Gulf of Salonica, and 1,500 of tie moat resslute Greeks• having landed on the coast, marched under cover of the darkness upon two batteries este b)ishod by the .Turks for the defence of their port. The troops on guard were surprised, and killed or dispersed. The Cassan drians, after having spread alarm into the very city, which the Turks consider as the second capital of the Empire, shipped the artillery of the batteries on board the squadron, and set sail for Cassandra. There, the troops having disembarked at break of day in the port Couphos, divided into two parties, of which one marched on the town of Cassandra, which gives name to the Peninsula—the other to the Isthmus, called' the • Cascandrian Gates. The squadron supported their operations by sea. The Turkish garrison, surprised in the town, was cut to pieces, and the whole Peninsula, which it cost the Turks seven months to take, was reconque red by the Greeks in six hours.—/'niter this success, the latter landed on the Isthmus the artillery they had taken in the port of Salonica, and fortified the passage. This time they are better armed than they were before they evacuated it, and they are supported by an esta blished Government, which knows the importance of the diver sion they effect against the Parks in Macedonia." VIENNA, AUG. O.—News from St. Peters burgh,. of luly 94, affirm that the Emperor Alexander will reacii Vienna on the 7th Sep .stember. • FridocaroaT, Auo. 14.—Extract of a Letter from St Petersbuqk; July' 8 (eoth.)—" M. de Poletica, our Envoy Extraordinary and Minister ,Plenipotentiary to the United States, having long since requested to be recalled on account of his ill health, he is to be succeeded by Baron Thuyll, who formerly filled the same post at Lisbon. This circumstance will' a little discon cert the Times and other Journals, which are'the organs of the sarne opinious, and which eagerly gave extracts from the correspondence between Mr. Poletica and Mr. Adams, on the Ukase of 4th (16) September, 1321, by which his Majesty the Emperor has regula►ed the interest of the Russian American Company. For though the' discussion was carried on in very temperate language on both sides, it was, notwithstanding, inferred from it that a rupture between the two parties was inevitable .—Thus the men who calcu late their future existence only in present disorders, and who would carry the torch of war into all parts of the world to rise from that obscurity, which, however, they will not escape, have once more taken their hopes for realities ; and the best proof of the good understanding that con tinues to subsist between Russia and thellnited States, is doubtless the nomination of a new Minister, in the person of • Baron de Thuyil de Seraskerchen."—(.lournalile Frankfort,Aug. 14.) BUCHAREST, J ni,y 21.—The appointment of the new Ilospodar gives great satisfaction both to the Boyars and the people in general, as they hope to be thereby relieved from the tyranny of the Turkish Commanders. The Pacha here has received orders from Silistrialo leave Wallachia With his troops ; and the latter have in fact re ceived orders to be ready to march ; but now there is one circumstanceln the way, and that is, that the Pacha must first give them their arrears of pay, amounting to 500,000 piastres. We have therefore good reason to fear that so long as this sum is not to be collected from the country, he will not depart with his troops. From the moment that thts.firtnan came, the Pacha ceased to meddle in the civil affairs of the country; his functions are now restricted to the military. The troops on the other hand seem but little inclined to go away, because they think they shall have to fight the Insurgents in the Morea. —lt was usual for the Greek Princes,. when they were nominated by the Porte, 'to bring with them SO or 100 needy Greek families from Constantinople, to whom the chief offices in the State were given. This was the reason that the poor people groaned under the Greek Govern ment. The native Boyars dared• not make any opposition. They now see themselves at once delivered from these blood-suckers, and have well-founded hopes that all the money will not, in future, be carried out of the country by the Greeks. It is reported that the Metropolitan Dionysius, who is still at Cronstadt, has received orders from the Prince immediately to return to Bucharest, to resume the functions of his import ant office. \\Mettler he will return seems doubt ful, because he is accused of having aided the Hetarists by a contribution of 10,000 piastres. MARSEILLES, JULY 30.—Accounts from Con stantinople say that the Porte has taken energe tic measures to assemble a powerful army in Ma cedonia, and orders to this cnd troops from Bul garia. It is probable that the corps on the Da nube will be ordered to Macedonia, as the Porte is now certain that this year at least, there will be no war with Russia. It is said to have re quested the Ministers of the mediating Powers, in a note, to prevail on the Russian Cabinet, as it is so inclined to maintain peace, to withdraw its armies from the frontiers of the Turkish dominions. In Constantinople itself the party ofllaleb Effen di has at present a decided—superiority, but also many powerful adversaries, who labour, especially in the Seraglio,. at his destruction. —This struggle between the great men of the empire may lead to important consequences. The English Ambassador, Lord Strangford, is said to have closely connected himself with ilaleb's party, and thereby to - have regained very great influence --(Allgemeine Zeitung, Aug. 12.)

SPANISH AGGRESSION.—The United States' schooner, Por poise' Captain Raneage, arrived at St. Thomas's on the 7th of July from Charleston, via St. Barth°loineus. On her passage she fell in with two Spanish privateers, which fired on her for some time, shot away one of her shrouds, and passed several halls through her sails. ASYLUM FOR AFRICAN S.—(From a BC7lll2laa Paper.)— On the night of the 22d ultimo, 46 slaves and an African ap prentice, made their escape from Turk's Island in two small vessels. From the Caicos, 101 slaves, men, women, and chil dren, from two plantations, had also gone off in small vessels then lying in the harbour. These men will no doubt increase the pirates in those seas. (From the Doyieston Cortespondenti NEW PRINTING PRESS,--Daniel 11, an ingenious mechanic, residing in Bensalem Township, Bucks County, has constructed a Press on a plan different from those in use; and so confident is he that it will do good work, that he has sent on a specification to Washington City, with a - view to obtain a patent. A sheet printed on both sides, by his model Press, has been sent to this office for examination. The impression is fair, and appears to have been made by a machine having sufficient power ; it may be examined by those having curiosity on this subject. The following description is from the pen of Mr. Neall : " FalEfsin MixEri—l take the liberty of sending thee a sheet of paper printed on the Vertical Press. Thee will per ceive on examining of it, some defects, which were owing to the bed and platten being of wood, and not strong enough to resist the power applied. I made the machine in a rough manner, merely to test the principle (not with the expectation of its doing good work); and on trial it fully answers my ex pectations.—My intention is now to make one to do its work well, the bed and platten of which will be of cast iron ; the prin ciple admits of presses being made single or double ; the single to print on one side at a time, the other to print on two at a time; the single will. be for job work only—small, simple, and cheap, and when not at work with, can be set aside out of the way. The large one is more complex—composed of two beds and two plattens, ranged in a line with each other, and must have two forms on at the same time, that while one form is making the first impression on a sheet, the other is finishing the one that immediately preceded it ; the person working this press puts the paper on, the press turns it, and when jointed on both sides lays it snugly off: My object in planning this press has been to gain time, the operations being only to put the paper on, cause the bed and types to form a quarter of a circle, give the lever a pull, and you have a sheet printed on both sides." [Extract a Letter from Char:estuil . received et Neu. Yori:. " In addition to the eleven negroes who bad been condemn ed to death (eight of whom had already suffered the sentence of the law) upwards of fifty more of the principal conspirators in the diabolical plot against the lives and property of the citi zens, had been arrested, and were lodged in gaol, against many of whom there was a sufficient proof of conviction. It appears to have been of a couch more serious nature than was at first anticipated, and would undoubtedly have terminated in much bloodshed, if not the total ruin of property both in town and country ; their plans were deep. and of long standing ; and from the facility the negroes had of obtaining arms and ammunition, but few whites could have escaped. " It is to the very able, vigilant, and indefatigable exertions of the Intendant of Charleston, Major James Hamilton, jun. that the citizens owe their Fives and preservation of property ; for if ever man deserved the thanks of a community, it is Ma jor Hamilton; possessing activity, intelligence, much presence of mind, great firmness, and, in fact, every requisite for a 7 public officer, particularly in such times of general conster nation and alarm. He has undoubtedly undergone more hardships and privations than any other individual in the city. Commanding one of the most numerous and best company of Riflemen in the Union, he has already been on duty many whole nights, in addition to his daily unremitted exertions fed' the public good. ,Majoi_Namilton was the first to constitute a Court of Magistrates and Freeholders, com posed of Gentlemen of the highest respectability in the state, and enjoying the full confidence of their fellow-citizens. Their labours have been very arduous and fatiguing, being frequently detained in their examinations till midnight. They are entitled to the thanks and respect of every person who wishes the pros perity of his country ; and although it may be superfluous to designate any individual of this Honourable Court, yet I be lieve you will be happy to learn, that amongst the number is the distinguished Col. W. Drayton, whose talents as an emi nent lawyer, statesman, gallant soldier, and unimpeachable conduct and general character, are such as to entitle him to every mark of respect and regard, not only in South Carolina, but over the whole Union ; and through his and Major Hamilton's able management and exertions, the public mind has been much tranquilized." The American Society for colonizing the free people of colour have purchased an extensive and valuable tract of country at Mesurado Bay, on the coast of Africa, situated between 5 and .6 degrees of north latitude, consisting of an island in the mouth of the river, which extends a considerable distance, and oc cupies the whole Cape. TheMesurado empties into the Atlantic, ' and is stated to be about three hundred miles long; its head waters being near those of the Niger and the Gambia, and take their rise on the north-east side of a chain of mountains, called the Long Mountains. This situation is represented as being high I and healthy, and it is supposed will be an important station to us—that it will afford relief and refreshment to our vessels of war cruising on the African coast, and to our merchantmen en gaged in the East India trade. It appears by the treaty between Captain Stockton, of the United States' navy, and the kings and headmen of Cape Me surado, viz. King Peter, King George, King Zoda, King Long Peter, King Governor, and King Jimmy—that the above-men tioned royal and great men have agreed to accept the following valuable consideration ( paid in hand) for the territory pur chased : Six muskets, one box beads, two hogsheads tobacco, one cask gunpowder, six bars iron pots, one dozen knives and forks, one dozen spoons, six pieces blue bafta, four hats, three coats, three pair shoes, one box pipes, one keg nails, twenty looking glasses, three ieces handkerchiefs, three pieces calico, three canes four umbrellas, one box soap, one barrel rum—and to be paid, the following : three casks tobacco, one box pipes, three barrels rum, twelve pieces cloth, six bars iron, one box beads, fifty knives, twenty looking glasses, tan iron pots different sizes, twelve guns, three barrels gunpowder, one dozen plates, one dozen knives and forks, twenty hats, five casks beef, five bbls. pork, ten bbls. biscuit, twelve glass tumblers, and fifty shoes.—( Philadelphia Evening Post.) NORTIIERNCANAL.—We extremely regret to learn, that the late rains have done very great damage to the northern canal, by breaking its banks, carrying away bridges, &c. and that the great dam constructed in the Hudson river, at Fort Edward, as a feeder, has also been again materially injured. Upwards of 70 persons were on it at the time it gave way, aiding and assist ing in putting it in a situation to resist the fresh. Fortunately and providentially, the part which gave way moved only about six feet ; had it been carried off, not one of the a 0 would pro bably have escaped with his life. Many of the rafts which had remained in, the canal since the spring wire broken up, and carried many rods on the land, and otherwise damaged. The quantity of lumber in the canal, between Whitehall and Fort Ann, was estimated to be worth from 15 to 20,000 dollars, and upwards of 100 persons having the charge of it have been en camped on the banks of the canal for nearly two months, waiting for a rise of water to enable them to raft it to market. All hopes of being enabled to do it the present season, we fear, must now be abandoned.—(Albany Gazette.) The grand Western Canal is making rapid progress. The arch thrown over the Mohawk is 70 feet at the base, and already presents a stupendous appearance. . Large quantities of weetern goods continue to crowd the canal. CAPE OF GOOD HOPE. \l'e have received Cape Newspapers by a recent arrival, from which we make the following extract : " CAPE TOWN, Arun 13, 182'1—It is with peculiar satis faction we insert the following Translation of a Letter, which has been transmitted to hik Excellency the Governor by the Landdrost of Albany, signed by 113 of the most respectable Burghers in that district• " The contents of this Letter evince that those whose names are affixed to it, are no less forward in time of peace to im prove the morals and promote the welfare of the community, than they were conspicuous in zeal and courage when resisting the Caffrees in 1819 : " SIR, " Graham's Town, March 13, 1822. " With inexpressible satisfaction have we, the undersigned Inhabitants of the District of Albany, perceived in a Proclama tion, dated Bth of February last, that it has pleased his Excel lency to direct that Graham's Town, and not the newly-formed village of Bathurst, should be the seat of the Magistracy. It is not necessary to say how little that village was calculated for the purpose for which it was intended ; suffice it to assure you, that had that plan been followed up, it would have been subject to the greatest inconvenience, and the object for which. Graham's Town was formed (principally for the accommodation of the distant inhabitants, that they should, with less difficulty, be able to communicate with their Magistrates), would have been lost. We request you, Sir, to express our thanks for it to his Excellency the Governor. «' The undersigned, being desirous to co-operate for the civi lisation and welfare of this distant district, feel themselves im pelled to the source of all good—namely, Religion ; they are not ashamed to acknowledge, that in this particular they are far behind ; and that, hitherto, they have lived in profound dark ness ;—even that some among them have never had an oppor tunity of attending public worship :—this, however, mueit not be ascribed to a dislike of Religion ; they hope to convince you of the contrary, when once: they shall have been enabled, by his Excellency's ordering a church to be built in this village, to attend regularly on public worship. " ' The undersigned are aware of ti e expence Government will have to incur, should they once obniin nieir wishes. But why should these be refused to a District, which, in prosperity and well being, already begins to equal, if not to surpass, the oldest in the Colony ? They do nut expect the Government to do ail :—they hope, by voluntary conttibutions to the district, to bear their share towards enabling you, not only to build a Church, but other public buildings, for the use and embellish ment of this village. They request, therefore, that as they in tend to open a subscription among themselves, for the above purposes, you will acquaint his Excellency with their inten tion ;—on whose liberal support, and good will towards this District, they rely, as without that, their efforts would be vain.

Mr. WEBB, the philanthropist, as he is some times called, returned to Cowes for a few hours on Friday last.

TITHE MEETING. Yesterday a meeting of the Freeholders, Lease holders, and other owners of property within the London li berty of St. Andrew's, Holborn, was held in the church, for the purpose of considering . the propriety . of co-operating with the inhabitants in general in defending a suit instituted by the Rev. Gilbert Beresford, the Rector, in the Court of Exchequer, for the recovery cf a tithe of two and ninepence in the pound, on the rack rental of the inhabitants. The meeting was nume rously and respectably attended. WILLIAM BOYER, Esq., Churchwarden, was unanimously called to the chair. Mr. SAUNDERS, the solicitor for the parish, at the desire of the Chairman, read a resolution of the inhabitants of the Lon don liberty of the parish, requiring the Tithe Committee to call for the signatures of householders, freeholders, and other per sons possessing property within the liberty, to a declaration foe defending the suit instituted by the Rector. The CHAIRMAN, on the above resolution being read, shortly stated the object of the meeting. The inhabitants, he said, had amply discussed the claim made by the Rector, and after giving the subject the fullest consideration, had determined to defend themselves against it : and the present meeting was called to give the freeholders, and other non-resident persons who were interested in resisting the claim, an opportunity of understand ing the question, and contributing to the defence of their pro perty. Mr. JossN BErcnAm said, the freeholders were highly interested in the event, as, if the claim set up by the Rector were established, it would amount to a seizure of one seventh part of their property on the expiration of the present leases.— By the act of the 21st of Henry the Eighth, the payment of the Clergy was regulated, and it was expressly stated that the money was given for their support, for the main tenance of the poor, and for the repair of the churches. In the 37th year of the same King, another act was passed, under which the present claim of two shillings and nine pence in the pound was made ; but it had been ascertained that 1 the law had not been acted on,. and that five years after a new law was made for giving the clergy 2s. in the pound for the like purposes. In the whole of Elizabeth's reign there was no mention of the act of the 37th of Henry VIII. Had it been considered operative wnen, in the 41st year of her reign, the act was passed for providing for the poor, there could be no doubt that had the clergy then been in possession of an income of2s. 9d. in the pound, out of which they were to provide for the poor, some part of it. would have been taken for that purpose. In the reign of Charles I. a single clergyman made a claim of 2s. 9d. under the act of the :Itti of Henry VIII., and found a jury who gave him a verdict, emit this was the only case in fa vour of the claim of the rector. After the great fire in the reign of Charles 11., that Monarch granted to the clergy of the 52 parishes that were burnt 4001. a year each in lieu of every claim, without any mention of their having any right to 2s. 9d. in the pound—a strong proof that no such right existed, The city of London went to Parliament in the year 1817, with a bill to -rive the clergy a fixed rate, such as Parliament might think tit, and save the parishes from the danger of any revival of a claim of 2s. 9d. in the pound, but Dr, Phillimore opposed the bill, and so little interest did it then excite among the members, that it was supported by no more than 32, and was lost on the second reading. The act of the 37th of Henry VIII. appointed Commissioners to decide what should be the rate on the rental by which the clergy should be paid, and enacted that their de cree to that effect should be enrolled in Chancery by March 1, following ; bnt the decree which they made, and under which the rector now claims, was never enrolled in Chancery at all, but was given by them, on the 25th of February, to Bishop Bonner, to be kept in his registry for ever, and there only it is now to be found. There it has ever remained as a dead letter, except in the single instance in the reign of Charles I. In a publication of the statutes, now making under the autho rity of Parliament, there is a note on the act of Henry the Bth, stating that the decree which the commissioners were authorized to make Was not found in the earliest copies of the statutes ; nor was it enrolled in Chancery. If the city of London will once more go to Parliament to have the question set at rest, all the parishes will assist, and there can be no doubt of the result. He was confident the spirit of the inhabitants would never relax, and that by union and perseverance in a good cause, they would finally triumph. Mr. Beecham concluded by moving a resolu tion, expressing the approbation of the meeting of the exertions made by the inhabitants in resisting the claim of the Rector, which was carried unanimously. Mr. .lasraß TAYLOR moved the second resolution—that the freeholders and other owners of property felt themselves bound to assist the inhabitants, which was also carried un animously. Mr. RICHARD TAYLOR moved a vote of censure on the Rector, for endeavouring to set aside the existing mode of pay ment, for the purpose of exacting an exorbitant income. He said the Rector's present income amounted to 1,400/. a year, besides a good house. It was true he paid curates out of it, but that was for his own ease, and to enable him to live in the country, where he had one or more valuable church livings also. The parish showed every willingness to enter into negociation with him on any fair claim he might make for an advance, but he preferred going to law. It was known that in three parishes of which he had the tithes he had taken steps to increase their amount; his pretence was, that he wanted an increased income to enable him to defend the church against unbelievers. The Bishop also seemed anxious to screw up the livings of the clergy as high as possible, while it appeared from a recent pub lication, that the clergy of the Church of England received more wealth than all the other clergy in the world. Mr. SorTIIGATE seconded the motion, which was carried unanimously. Mr. NASH exhorted the inhabitants to persevere both for their own sakes and that of others, as there appeared to be a spirit abroad amongst the clergy which made them consider a disinterested Christian pastor as an enemy. In the parish in which he lived, St. Botolph, Bishopsgate. there was an excel lent clergyman, who had been rector for 35 years; his income was about 5001. a year. At a meeting of the clergymen of the diocese, he was told he must raise his income: he must get a shilling in the pound on the rental. The good Hector expostu lated, said he did not wish for any increase of income, but all in vain ; he was told his conduct was injurious to the church and he must reform it. The Rector finding it useless to con tend against such pious opponents, called a meeting of his pa rishioners, and with much concern told them he must leave them—he must resign. They begged to know the cause, when he reluctantly informed them. They declared they would not lose him, but would pay a shilling in the pound : he begged they would not take it from any who could not well atfura to pay it. The shilling in the pound was paid by those who could afford it, and it amounted to 1,2001. a year. The good Rector soon after died, and his successor demanded is. 6d. in the pound, which, under his collection, amounts to near 3,000/. a year, and he declares that if the Reverend Mr. Gilbert Beresford succeeds in his suit, he must have 2s. ed. in the pound. Mr. FEARON addressed the meeting at considerable He said Parliament were disposed to make some relaxation of taxation, but the Clergy appeared determined to prevent its beneficial effects. Their cry was, that the Church was in dan ger from freethinkers and radicals, but the real dancer was from the rapacity of the Clergy. In the year 1634, the London Clergy addressed Charles the First, complaining of the small ness of their livings, many of which they said ..id not amount to more than 401. a year—a proof that they did net consider they had any claim to 2s. 9d. in the pound, or they would have enforced it. At the time it was said that the 2s. 9d. in the pound was granted, the Clergy were bound to repair the church, and supper the poor; if they will do so now, ',Le pa rishioners will not object to the payment. Mr. COMPEIONY moved that a subscription should ee in:- rnediately entered into by the freeholders and other owners of property in the parish, to unite with the inhabitants in defecd ing the suit. The motion was carried by acclamation. Thanks were voted to the Chairman, after which the fleet:frig separated. CAMBRIDGE, AUGUST 2,2.—At a v-and.coin mon day of this Corporation on Friday last, John inqle, Esq. was elected Mayor of this town for the year ensaing.—Messrs. .Tames Salmon, Thomas Willimott, John Haslop, and 'Thomas Woodward, were elected Bailiffs ; and Mr. A.
