(Front the New York Evening Post of July 24.) Some of the Buenos Ayrean privateers are hovering along our South Sea bound, and are Paying handsome prices for supplies. Captain SCLIUY LEE, of the schooner Governor Shelly, arrived yesterday front Port-au-Prince, in formed us that, in lat. 23.30. long. 72. 30. he Was boarded by the United States' frigate Con gress, Captain Moak's, 24 days from the Balize. The hoarding Officer informed that the Congress Was bound to Port-au-Prince, to demand satisfac tion of President PETtorz for having ordered the exerution of an American seaman, as detailed in the Papers some time ago. (Front the same P ape? of July 25.) The following is an extract of a letter from Fernandina, July 12 " 1 cannot form any opinion as to the future operations of the Patriots : they are at present limited to the island : I fear they will fail in their laudable scheme—they have no force. Every thing favoured their occupation and march to St. Augustine—the Dons were panic struck. There is at present a restlessness among the people tinder their flag, some outrages having been committed by their out-parties. There was a tale here to-day of 31 slaves, seized tour (lays ago ; they were seized, flied, condemned, and told, in that time. These tiroceedings injure the cause, and should they not receive large reinforce *trews, I tear they will have to abandon the place. The consquences of such an event are much to be dreaded." We learn by the Ellen, TOOKER, from the Gulph Of Mexico, that the Patriotic General iERKAND, kith about 2000 men, had gone over to the Royalists, having previously been assured of ihe pardon ; that General GANDABOUHE, with About 300 tacit, were within 100 miles of La Vera Cruz, hemmed in by the Royalists ; and Mat General MINA'S head-quarters were at Sota blarina, which place he had fortified, and left a garrison of about SO men, and proceeded against Lewis Petosa. His communications on the tea coast were cut off by the Royalists. An It - my of about 5000 men was marching against Lim from La Vera .Cruz, and his situation was tunsidered perilous. There never was such a settling day in the Stock txcLange as yesterday proved to be. The Bulls, tvho bad made heavy purchases in the hope of a rise, which the market of Monday and Tuesday fully warranted, were obstinate to the last, and would not sell until the lateness of the hour com- Felled them ; at this time they could find but few Purchasers ; as those who had sold Stock, and who were anxious to deliver it or settle the account, gave (as is usual in such cases) orders to several brokers to sell it out publicly from the Coin xtthsioner's Box and we are told that at least 300,000 was disposed of in this way. This pro duced such distress that the price for Money was gO, whilst for Friday there were buyers at 80k. The Account cannot be said to be wholly settled yet, sod as a great deal of Stock was sold out for Parties who were themselves selling at the same time, there will be a good deal of Stock now to be bout : ht. The price this morning for Money, Was 80k, and for October Account, 81. XXTRACT OF A LETTER FROI4I GIBRALTAR, DATED AUGUST 7 We have to notify the opening of the corn finnieation this day with Spain by land. The Satellite brig of war, Captain MURRAY, arrived last niOit trom Tunis and Algiers. No news has } , et transpired by her. The garrison remains very healthy, never was more so." • ;Ttis SUN has reason to pride itself on its in creasing splendour, for it is attacked this day by Ott v powerful assailants, The Morning Chronicle / 1 10 The British Press, both of which are attempt ing to throw ; a shade neon its lustre.—" A foolish figuie, b u t farewel it."—The Chronicle begins with an aberration from truth (we are nu willing to use an offensive monosyllable), for it says," THE SUN yesterday, after a respite of three days, returns In the charge respecting Spanish affairs." Now lqat is the plain fact ? The Chronicle published its attack on Spain on Thursday. Vie had not All Op -14)111Inity to ansiver before Saturday. On Mon -41",/ it answered TH a Sur:, ant: on the same day 'lna SUN replied, and promised to . resume the subject. SoN did resume the subject yesterday. Where then was the respite of three days i It is a proof of 4 b dd cause when it commences with a deviation fron t truth even in a trifle. But sve need take very little trouble in answering The Chronicle this day. I t Pers4veres in maintaining that the preliminary ba,is of a Ti rely IS as biodiog as the Treaty itself. 'lbis doctrine is too absurd to need refutation. The next point is the recurrence of The Chronicle to what passed between Mr. CANNING and Admiral AropAcA some years ago, to which, as we gave plain answer, we need not repeat our observa tion on its irrelevancy at the present moment. — The Inquisition is then brought forward again by The Chronicle, which favours us with the oath which it exacts of its Sovereigns. But if the Sovereign of Spain has not acted upon that oath, conceiv ing that it is confined to Spiritual matters, and not to Mercantile, we have met remelt) at present to fear that the Holy Tribunal gill forget its beads, &c. &c. and turn its attention to Commerce. As to the Fiscal concerns of Spain, though The Chro nicle says we are bewildered, we may fairly retort the charge, as we merely contradicted it, upon be ter knowledge than The Chronicle seems to possess. But the most important point with The Chronicle regards the dress of the Inquisition, which it denies to be British, and declares to be "pano de seda which is of French texture." In conclu sion, The Chronicle goes back to 1797 for illus tration. A plain proof that it is again puzzled to answer what we said in reference to the existing state of things, atter all the changes and convul sions which shook Fault Ope to its centre. The subject on whiLli we are attacked in The British Press of to•day relates to the Concordat, which we inserted yesterday ; and because we animadverted on the subserviency of the King of France to the Papal See, manifested in that do cument, it taunts us on attempting to renew "the good old style of the Seventeenth Century," in statiug, that the Roman Catholics think it meri torious to keep no faith with Heretics, meaning Protestants, Now The Press ought to know, that semper eadem is the motto of POPP EY . The wri ters in favour of that . Religion uniformly assert, that its doctrines and principles .ire the same now as they always were, and are unchangeable. As that is the fact, the same arguments urged against POPERY at any former period al e as applicable at the present moment. We insert another Papal Manifesto to-day, and a. wretched mass ()Leant, superstition and folly, it is, but it still morelerves to justify our assertion as to the subserviency of the Roman Catholics, including the King of FRANCE, to the iifallible Head of the Roman Catholic Church. With respect ti; a provision for the Clergy, not depending on the People, we agree with the The Press, and are glad tiaat such a provision is to be made for them, that something like a respect for Religion may be found iii France after all its Atheism and other horrors.

Lady, when in the act of alighting from tier pnaeton, at her seat in Staffordshire, missed the footstep, and fell to the ground upon her head, when the right temple coming in contact with a stone, she was killed upon the spot. An express was sent off to Bagley Hall, which arrived at the moment when the family were rejoicing at the recovery of the Marquis of HERTFORD. That hospitable mansion, so uniformly the scene of uninterrupted festivity at this season of the year, is, in conse quence, become a house of mourning. The PRINCE REGENT yesterday countermanded the orders which had been previously given for his High ness's departure for Warwickshire. The victory obtained by the Second Order of the Romish Clergy over their Bishops, and which the Pope leas acquiesced in, although it would ap pear as it favourable to the advancement of the Catholic claims, in our humble judgment, should dissolve every hope of their success ; for the au thority of the foreign Pontiff is thus established, and an indirect attempt made thereby against the British Constitution; as it was foreign influence which first made the Penal Code necessary, so its revival should terrify every good subject ; and this is the true meaning of DotnesticNomination, upon which the Popish Faction so much rely as a sub stitute for the Veto. The fact, however, of Do mestic Nomination,. which was offered first as a boon, being now adopted as a right, has been fully established in the appointment of Doctor W,Atsta, of Dungarvan, to be the Titular Bishop. —(Hibernian Journal, 4ug. 25.)

THE BUTTERFLY'S BIRTH-DAY.. By WILLIAnt Roscoe, Esq. The shades of night were scarcely fled ; The air was mild, the winds were still ; And slow the slanting sun beams spread O'er wood and lawn, o'er heath and hill. From fleecy clouds of pearly hue Had dropt a short hut balmy shower, That hung like gems of morning dew, On every tire and every flower. And from the Blackbird's mellow throat Was pour'd so loud end long a swell, As echoed with responsive note From mountain side, and shadowy dell. When bursting forth to life and light, The offspring of enraptur'd May, The Butterfly, on pillions bright, Launch'd in full splendour on the day. Unconscious of a mother's care, No infant wretchedness she knew; But as she felt the venal air, At once to full perfection grew. Her slender form, Isthereal, Her velvet textue'd wings enfold ; With all the rainbow's colours bright, And dropt with spots of burnish'd gold. Trembling with joy, awhile she stood, And felt the sun's enlivening ray; Drank from he skies the vital flood, And wonder's' at her plumage gay; And balaiic'd oft her 'broider'd wings, Through fields of air prepar'd to sail; Then on her vent'rous journey springs, And floats along the rising gale. Go, child of pleasure, range the fields, Taste all the joys that spring can give, Partake what Immiteous Summer yields, And live, while yet 'tis thine to live. Go, sip the rose's fragrant dew. The lily's homed cup explore, From flower to flower the search renew, And rifle all the woodbine's store; And let me trace thy vagrant flight, Thy moments ton of short repose, And mark thee then with fresh .delight Thy golden pinions ope and close. But hat k ! while thus I musing stand, Pours on the gale an airy note; And, breathing from a viewless band, Soft silvery tones around toe float ! —They cease—but still a voice I hear, A whisper's! voice of hope and joy, " Thy hour of rest approaches near, " Prepare thee, mortal !—Thou must die ! " Yet start not ;—on thy closing eyes " Another day shall stilt unfold, " A sun of milder radiance rise, " A happier age of joys untold. " Shall the poor worm that shocks thy sight, " The humblest form in Nature's train, " Thus rise in new-born lustre bright, " And yet the emblem teach in vain ? " Ah ! where were once her golden eyes, " Her glittering wings of purple pride ? " Coneeal'd beneath a rude disguise, " A shapeless mass to earth allied. " Like thee the hapless reptile liv'd, " Like thee he toil'd, like thee he spun, " Like thine his closing hour arriv'd, '' His labours ceas'd, his web was done. " And shalt thou, number'd with the dead, " No happier state ,of being know ? " And shall no future morrow shed ",On thee a beam of brighter glow? " Is this the bound of Power Divine, " To animate an insect frame? • " Or shall not He who moulded thine, " Wake at His will the vital flame ? " =Go, mortal! in thy reptile state, " Enough to know to thee is given ;, " Go, and the joyful truth relate, " Frail Child of earth ! high Heir of Heaven !" SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

A Gentleman in the suite of Lord AMHERST has brought home with him a fine individual of that ►vonderful species of animal the Ourang Outang, or as it is vulgarly called, the " Wild man of the Wood." The formation, habits, •and motions of this creature so strongly resemble man, and its actions are so much the apparent result of thought., that it may be truly said to be the connecting link in the chain of nature uniting the human species with the brute creation. This surprising animal is placed for the present in the Menagerie at Exeter 'Change, where the facility of seeing him will doubtless attract many visitors among the scientific and the curious, more especially when it is considered that one of his kind has not been seen in England (if we are correctly in formed) tor the last 80 years. AMHERST AND BUONAPARTE. The Cesar, which, in consequeire of the loss of the Alceste frigate, recently Ininiehr huare Lord A Nib EasT and his suite from B its% a, is the bearer of the latest intelligence from St ll,tena relative to the health and manner of living of the ex-Emperor of Frauctt.—Tae Csirar having oc casion to touch at St. Heleua, Lord Amherst ex pressed a desire to be introduced to Buooapatte, and in spite of some obstacles which presented theMselves, his Lordship, with Captain Maxwell rand. Mr. Lynn, surgeon of the Alceste, was al lowed to wait opon, him. On the 3d July, Lord Amherst was ushered into Buouaparte's presence at Longwood, whilst Captain Maxwell and the St►rgeou waited in an anti-chamber. it was not lon,g before those Officers were desired to joie. There was nothing in the appearance of Burma parte which in the least indicated ill health ; on the contrary, he looked well, and less bloated than ordinary. In his conversation with the party, his questions were put with his usual rapidity indeed they followed each other in such quick succession, that answers could only be given to those which appeared most marked and important. With his general curiosity, Buonaparte inquired of the Officers what stations they filled on board the ship, and on learning Mr. Lynn was the sur geon, he inquired what system of pharmacy' he pursued. " That depends upon circumstances," replied the Surgeon. " I hope," 'rejoined the General, ”" it is any Other than that practised on this Island, for here we have the same thing over and over again=-bleeding' and - Calomel for ever." The conversation taking a turd on the mission of Lord Amherst to China, his Lordship related the cause of its failure ; which he ascribed to the ne cessity imposed upon him by the Emperor of smiting the ground nineteen times with his fore head ; an indignity which his Lordship intimattd could not be submitted to. 'Here Buonaparte's answer showed the man,—" Indeed ! Now had it suited my policy to send an Ambassador to the Emperor of China, I should have instructed him to kiss his great toe ; and if that would not do, he might, if required, have saluted a,more offen sive part, provided my object could be attained.", In the course of conversation Buonaparte said he knew of no law which gave the Powers of Europe the right of detaining him a prisoner at St. Helena or elsewhere ; and strongly urged the propriety of his present situation being taken into consideration by time crowned heads of Europe. Notwithstanding his disappointments, he still affects great reliance on the justice of - the Prince Regent of England, when miconnected With 14A tional policy, and the influence of Ministers; and, with this impression on his mind, he ex pressed an anxious wish that Lord Amherst would be the bearer of a letter from him to his Royal Highnes, which had been p - repared some time, with the intention of forwarding it to England. We have reason to believe we are correct in stating, that his Lordship undertook to deliver the letter in question. it is said to be couched in the most respectful terms ; but discovers a sore ness throughout on account of the unnecessary restraints he alleges that he is made to undergo. The Officers of the late Alceste found that he can have the range of the whole island in his exercise of riding, driving, or walking, provided he will allow a British Officer to attend him ; but to this he objects. As it is, he may extend his walks about twelve Miles, but then he is liable to meet in his perambulations British sentinels at various points, who never fail to present arms to him. Madame Bertrand was seen by the British Of ficers, and the impression made upon them was, that she was a very handsome and clever wo. man.—(Times.) REGISTER OF FASHION. THE ROYAL FAMILY. EGHAM, AUG. 27.—The Duke of GLOUCESTER (being one of the Stewards of E:zham Races) paid great attention. His Royal Highness had two tents pitched near the Stand for her MAJESTY, the Princess ELIZABETH, and aleir attendants, with refreshments ot every thing in season. We are very sorry to say the Duchess was not present to see die sport. The Duchess of lonic came in a curricle, with her beautiful grey horses. After the first two races the QUEEN and suite returned to the Castle to dinner. In the evening a grand Ball was given to the Nobility at Bham. The crowd was so great, that when his Royal High ness went to attend his Duchess, he had his pocket picked ot his pocket-book, although the Bow-street Officers were present. TEE MARQUIS OF HERTFORD.---We are happy to announce the entire restoration of the Marquis Of HERTFORD. His Lordship intends-to he town about the middle of the ensning.month. the 27th he proceeds to Orford. in Suffolk, to be present at the nominating a. Mayor for• the nexl year ; and thence goes to SudbOrne Hall. for the hunting season, to which a numerous party is in vited. The PtitxcE REGENT and the ,Duke of YoRK intend joining the circle in'Oetober. The Earl and Countess of SPENCER are shortly expected in town from the Isle of Wight. The Earl and Countess STANHOPE intend lelr 7 log their seat, Chevening Hall, in a few days, for the Continent. T. F. BARHAM, Esq. M.

He had just given directions to his grand-daughter to order break fast, when he fell back and incantly He was 67 years of age.
