The Atigiburgh GazeUcs contain the following news from Con.
atantinople, 20th July 8—

" The Porte hat received recent news from the Mores, confirming
the events near the mills of Napoli di Romanis, and the retrograde
march of Ibrahim Puha to the environs of Tripolizza. According
to these accounts his loss was trifling. The report of the capture of
Missolonglii is not confirmed. It could not be believed that that
important place could be taken without the co-operation of a fleet."

Letters front Trieste, of 23th July, in the same Journal, say
thst by the latest accounts from Missolonklii; the Capitan Pacha
had appeared before that place on the 7th July.
kl The Seratkier, ftcdschid Pacha, who was at Vrachori, was to
have advanced to the.walls of the fortress. The Greek accounts
represent his army as very weak, and do not express the smallest
fear frit Missolonglait notwithstanding the arrival of the Capitaa
Pacha. •
It is said that Ibrahim Pacha hat set fire to Argos. Meantime,
Hussein lky has Isnded at Navarino, with 3 or 4,000 men, who im-
mediately took the road to Tripoliim.
The Trieste Gas:ette also speaks of the capture of Ibrahim
Pacha, adding, however, that this news needs confirmation. The
proclamation of Colocotroni and the conduct of General Roche
may have given rise to this report.

'lfre are still without direct intelligence from the A
Orman Paper nuhliahea,•however, the following prode4o,
dated June 7, which Colocotroel has distributed throughout the
Peninsula:—

', Brave patriots and, brothers, who are In the positions of
Plesaani, RFidy Pirgo, Oastouni, and Circadia, and all fellow-
citizens, learn, that we have enclosed:lbrahim Nebo, the most
fatal enemy of the Peloponneaus, in the defiles we had agreed
upon. It was a glorious day for the Greeks, and that proud '
Pacha had to sustain our fire the whole of the day. As, how-
ever, Ibrahim is not yet annihilated, although surrounded on'
all sides, I fraternally Invite all of you, but particularly you in the
positions of Chiussa, flastouni, and Pirgo, to hasten and Join me,
snd In order to arrive in time, pray, you to march night and day.
TIO triumph of Greece, the existence of your wives and children,
depod upon your ztsl and courage. Those who are in the
'neighbourhood of Putras ►iad better stay there ; but all others ought
itto hasten whets honour, victory, and their country call them."
It Is asserted that 30,000 assembled on this appeal of Cola
cotronrs.

Ily the Hudson packet from New York, arrived at Deal,
we have received Papers from that city to the 21st. ult.
The passage of the Hudson occupied only twenty-four
days. The news from what was formerly Spanish Ame-
rica is not entirely without interest. It appears that a re-
port has been in circulation at New York, that Doervan
had been fomenting -the quarrel between the Uciernmen; of

of dethroning Don Pena°, and enbitituting a republican

pese of congratulating the Liberator on his seems, and
conferring with him, u Disaster of Peru, OW die moles-
t *don of the four provinces of Vpper Peru to the Union orl
La Plata. We need scarcely add that the report Was ut-
terly Incredible. We have no doubt that the Republican
States of South America would rather have had a similar
Government in Brazil, but it is quite improbable that in
their present condition, and under all the circumstances
and considerations that surround and influence them, they
would rashly venture upon an endeavour by force of arms
to propagate their political principles.
The interior of Guatemala is said to be again disturbed.
A civil war is reported' to be raging in the province of

Although no arrivals. hfinsParis could to-day announce
the state of the French Fends, on account of the interven-
tion of Sunday, still Consols continued heavy, . with very,
little business doing in'tbon: For money, they opened at
8911, and closed at fs. For the next account they were
1 1 and 1 1 ; and for thaceMber account they were 901.
Exchequer Bills were es Vein 18$. to 181. This extra-
ordinary decline may pairnlyialy be attributed to the Bank
narrowing its circulation.
The day following a settling day is not unusually one of
light business, and that was the cue to-day, but still the
Securities in the Foreign Market—at least those In which
the chief transactions take place—were for the most part
advancing. Greek Scrip 'cached 13, 121 discount, making
nearly an improvement of 4/. per cent. in this secutity
within a few days. Spanish Stocks also made further pro-
gress. Tl* Bonds of 1821 were 221 3; and those of 1823,
1713. An advance likewise took place in South American
Securities, Colombian Bonds being 841, and Mexican
Scrip 31 1 discount.
A further decline occurred in Anglo Mexican Shares,
which, to-day, could only be sold at 73, 71. The branch
of the Association called the Mexican Mint Company,
whose Shares were out yesterday, and were reserved en-
tirely for subscribers to the Parent Establishment, were
doii,e to-day at 2, 3 premium. Yesterday a very few bar-
gains were done in them at I premium. The Shares of
other Companies remain nearly in :tutu quo.
In Mincing-lane, extensive business was done In Sugar,
and Coffee, at rather advancing prices. There has been a
speculation in Nutmegs going on for the last two days, that
has produced an advance in them of Is. 6d. in the pound.
Tobacco fully maintains Its recent improvement.

Extract of a letter received yesterday, dated Lima, April
23 :—" Bolivar left this some few days since for Arequipa,
and Cusco. The siege of Callao has been intrusted to Ge-
nerals Salon and Veleroaturing his absence. There is a
talk of removing the port to Anson on the .sth proximo; it
being found almost impracticable to disembark goods at
Chorilios, from the heavy surf which is generally breaking
on the shore."
Sucre forwarded to Bolivar, as a testimony of the at•
tachtnent felt for him by the army, five standard; belong-
ing to the oldest of those Spanish regiments which for
fourteen years bad borne arms against the independence of
Perh. Among them was the individual standard with
which Pizarro, 300 years before, had entered the capital
of the Incas.

LATE COLOMM•N LOAN.—The GaCe6l de Colombid of

The Brussels Papers received yesterday contain details
of some interest to our Catholic friends. The King of the
Netherlands has increased the salaries of a hundred and
eleven Catholic Clergymen, who were distinguished by
their piety and good conduct, and has granted .50,000 flo-
rins to repair and erect Catholic Chapels. While a Pro-
testant Monarch is thus employed, it appears that the Ca-
tholics do not act quite so liberally to one another. At
Geneva, on the 3d inst., a M. Sebastian S.onderregger was
formally excommunicated, though a person of acknow-
ledged probity, for eating meat on fast days, and maintain-
ing that the prohibition of it was merely a human law.
The two facts above mentioned will, perhaps, be read with
equal exultation in Ireland; but a third remains to be no-
ticed. M. Vevavin, the Clergyman of a Catholic church
at Geneva' being on a visit to Rome, was presented by
Pope Leo XI I. with the bones of a saint, named Nemesius,
who is said to have lived at the time of the First Council
of Nice, about fifteen hundred years ago. A chapel,
erected to receive these relics,. has just -been opened- at.
Geneva, with great formality and religious splendour.
The Mote states that the Captain General of the Ba-
learic isles: has received from .MadriTY vay pressing orders
to put the Island of Minorca into a state of defence, as it
is stated that the Spanish Emigrants in England and
Africa will units at Gibraltar, tad embark. in ;Colombian
privateers for the purpose of making II descent upon the
Island. -
The Archbishop of Paris has returned from the journey
which he undertook some weeks back for the re-establish-
ment of his health, ai it was said. It appears that carriage
exercise was not less necessary than the air of Italy for his
Grace's cure; as, since his departure, that Prolate was
alnaosi always travelling.—Courrier Franrais.
The Gazette of Bruges states that last week, the daugb-
ler-of Lucien Bonaparte arrived there from Rome with her
husband, whose father has been for some time residing at
Bruges. .They started on the sth fur London.
The Torelie schooner arrived at Toulon on the 10th.
It has lately been employed in conveying M. Biot, of the
Institute, to various parts of the Mediterranean and the
Adriatic, to make astronomical and physical experiments
relative to the measurement of the earth.—Meniteur.
The Jortritul de Paris announces that the shop of M.
Barba is shut up, and that his license (brevet) has been
withdrawn.

STATE OF COMMERCE.—A trader In Liverpool adver-
tises his merchandise—handkerchiefs, calicoes, &c.—in the
New, York papers; land, considering the punctuality and
rapidity of the packets between that place and our neigh-
bourirg cities iu England, we should not wonder if the
New York ladies Were to go a ghopping in Liverpool.—

Mr. Conway was requested to act u Secretary to the meeting for
the day.
After milts the minutes of the last day's proceedings, Mr.
Conwalr aiid, Oat in consequinee of a communication made to
hint by a raireeinbla member of the Association, that some mem-
bers, annum? NUM lil • Noble Lord, intended to make, on this day
week. a oussuredeedon though the Association so the Catholicof
Ireland, on matters connected with Catholic affairs, he would post-
pone to that day his motion for adjourning the meetings of the As-
iodation to November. - • • -
Mr. CURRAN renewed his motion regarding the publication of
the menfbers' names for the next day of meeting.
Mr. D. O'Retxxr said he had the very high honour of
_propos-
ing, that two of the most venerable of the Rotten Catholic Prelates
should be admitted as members. (Hear.) They were eminent for
the sanctity of their lives and the purity of their conduct, and would
add lustre and confer honour oh any Association. As this was an
Aisociation formed chiefly for the purpo4e of educating the people
of Ireland, no accession could be so valuable as that of the digni-
'fied persons he had to propose—Dr. Curtis, the Petit-rate of attire-
land (hear), and Dr. Murray, the Archbishop of Dublin.—They
were admitted amid the unanimous cheers of the meeting.
Mr. Cu anew said, that as they were on the eve of adjournthent,
and it could not be expected that many members would join the
Association before November, he would now give notice of* mo-
tion, that all persons at present members, and who shall bum= so
before November, be members for the ensuing year.
Mr. O'REILLY moved that Mr. Elias Corbally, Mr. Matt. Cor-
belly, and Mr. (Manger, Magistrates of the county of Meath, be
admitted members. Admitted unanimously.
Mr. D. O'REILLY, rafter reading his motion for the appoint-
ment of two persons in each parish in Ireland, to acquire and cum.
munitate information and receive subscriptions, said that the pur-
poses of the Association were such, as, if properly managed, would
prove of incalculable benefit to the Irish nation. It had been too
long a reproach that we were an uneducated and ignorant people.
Attempts were made to proselytise, and by the assistance of peen..
nasty advantages to deprive the people of Ireland altogether of their
religion, or give them one which they never would receive. (Hear.)
With a view to remove this reproach, and to render the people of
Ireland capable of using their numerous intellectual resources, ind
ofattaining that station which the Almighty assigned them, he had
the honour to move the Resolution just read.
The Resolution was seconded by Mr, O'Retrw, who considered
it unnecessary to dwell on a resolution which spoke so much for
itself; but he would take this opportunity to contatehno.the
people of Ireland on the establishment of the new ,Association.
That Association would promote the attainment of their political
rights, and conduce to the general safety of the empire. It was
worse than weakness to expect the political vigour of the empire
while so vital a portion of it as Ireland remained organically dis-
eased. Mr. O'Brien concluded a most brilliant speech, which we
shall publish at length in our next, amid the general cheers of the
meets
Mrng.. O'Brien was called to the Chair, and the meeting adjourned.

It is a curious fact that the Duchess of Tyrconnel, the
Lady 'f Richard Talbot, Lord Deputy of Ireland in the
reign of James 11. after that Monarch's abdication, was
driven by distress to keep one of the stands in Exeter
Change, in the Strand (the original English bazaar), at
that time a fashionable place of resort, at which she sold
millinery, the labour of her hours by night, in an obscure
apartment, in which she slept. It was then the custom of
women in public to wear masks, and the Duchess, in her
little shop, uniformly appeared in a white mask and dress,
and was called by the loungers of that day "the White
Widow." Her rank was accidentally discovered, and she
had afterwards a pension granted her from the Crown
during her life.

IRISH FECDS.—IL seems difficult, if not impossible, for
Irishmen to give up their pretexts for fighting with each
other. By the following paragraph extracted from the
New York Commercial Advocate of the 16th ult., it-will
be seen that Orangemen and Ribantlinen are not unknown
across the Atlantic, and that there, as in their native coun-
tiy, they; manifest their existence by the disturbance of
the public tranquillity.
" BATTLE OE THE BOYNE.—We alluded yesterday to a
renewed attempt on the part of the Irish emigrants in this city, to
celebrate the Battle of the Boyne, by a battle between the 0 aNge.
men and the Ribandmen. 'We are hippy to state, however, that
so outrages took pine. Intelligtooe was received by the police
at an early hour on Tuesday, that a ;nob of the different parties
was colleetitiO on the old battle ground, at the head of Carmine-
totem, and a strong detachment of peace officers was at once sent to
the spot. Finding that many of the emigrants were armed with
pistols, dirks, guns and fixed bayonets, a reinforcement of officers
was sent for, at the head of which the sherilEtook the field. Mr.
Thomas Addis Emmett, jun. we understate', repaired to the con.
templated scene of action, and exerted himsalf to leis Utmost. pa pre-
vent any hostile acts. The result was, that the crowd Wel dispersed
and no arrests were made."
A plan has recently been submitted to the Paving Board
of the parish of St. Clement Danes, for the improvement
of the neighbourhood of Temple Bar, by pulling down a
vast mass of old buildings, situated between the Strand and
Carey-street, and erecting a fine street of buildings, fire-
proof, for professional gentlemen. The projector, it seems
(Mr. Burton, the architect) has had this object in contem-
plation upwards of thirty years; and indeed it is a little
wonderful that so largest space of valuable ground should
have been allowed to remain so meanly occupied for so
long a period. The City of London once had the subject
under consideration, and subsequently the parish of St.
Clement Danes; but both abandoned 51.—Literary Chru-
nide.

Discoveries of some importance to the literary world, it
