The Duke of York arrived at Audley House yesterday even-
ing, from Cheveley Hall, Cambridgeshire, where his Royal
Highness has been staying on a visit to the Duke and Duchess
of Rutland. Prince Leopold has also been staying on a visit to
their Graces for some days past, at Cheveley
The Duke of Cumberland, after paying his visit to his sister,
the Princess of Hesse Homburg, at her Palace, near Frankfort,
will proceed to Berlin, to join his Royal Duchess.
The Duke of Hamilton, with a liberality worthy of a British
Nobleman, has forwarded his valuable library of scarce books
to Ashton, a seat belonging to him about two miles from Lan-
caster, with a permission, conveyed with great delicacy, to Dr.
Lingard, who resides in that neighbourhood, to avail himself
of its contents in any manner that might assist his researches
in the progress of the great historical work in which he is
engaged. _ _

The • Bev. Holwell Carr, of Devonshire-place, one of the
finest connoisseurs and most liberal petron of the Arts in Eng-
land, has, we understand, given his collection of valuable pic-
tures to the country. They are not numerous, but are all of
the highest class, and cost Mr. Carr upwards of 25,0001.

Dispatches, dated the 25th of July, have been
received by Government, from Capt. FRANKLIN.
at Fort Chepewy an. The Expeditio❑ entertained
the hope of reaching Bear Lake before the frost
set in. They were all in good health and spirits.

We have received the- Calcutta Government
Gazette of the 23d of June, and the Bombay
Gazelle of the 6th of July. The latter contains
a paragraph, stating that the division of the
British army in Arracan, under the command of
General MORRISON, was suffering very severely,
according to the latest accounts, from sickness.
One of the regiments, it is added, had been re-
duced by sickness and death from 1,200 strong
to 350, while most of those not in the hospitals
had miserably fallen off in bodily strength and
appearance. The 49th Regiment was said to
have only two companies of effective men. The
Calcutta Paper contains no further news from
the seat of war.

We have received a file of the Argos from
Buenos-Ayres to the 7th September. An assem-
bly of the House of Representatives of the
eastern p ovince of the Rio de la Plata, usually
called the Banda Oriental, took place in the
city of Florida on the 26th of August, when
a solemn declaration was made of the inde-
pendence of that part of South America. The
principal clause in this document is expres-
sed in energetic language ; it declares to be
" void, dissolved, and of no value for ever, all
the act• of incorporation, acknowledgment, and
oaths of allegiance, wrung from the people
of the Banda Oriental by the force, combined
with treachery,of the usurping states of Portugal
and Brazil, who have tyrannized over it and seized
on its inalienable rights, and brought it under the
yoke of an absolute despotism from the year 1817
to the present time." No events of moment had
occurred relative to the contest in Monte-Video,
but some slight advantages in skirmishing had
been gained over the Imperialists, and the cause
of Independence seems to be gaining stability.
LISBON, OCT. MAJESTY having
honoured with his approbation a plan laid before
him by Sir JOHN MILI.EY DOYLE, for making a
new road from Villa nova da Rainha to Caldas
and Obidos, which is to be managed by a com-
pany. A Committee was appointed by the Share-
holders to draw up a table of the tolls, which
they should judge necessary to afford a sufficient
remuneration for the trouble and expence. This
has been laid before his Majesty and approved.
It is calculated that the Shareholders will receive
ten and a quarter per Cent., after paying all the
expences.

Letters from the Frontiers of Russia, of the
14th October, speak of the precipitate depar-
ture of the General of Cavalry Count WITTGEN-
STEIN for Pulcya, where the head-quarters of
the second corps of the army is established.
This has caused great sensation, and has given a
report of war.

The news from Greece does not bring any
new positive facts. IBRAHIM PAcnA traverses
the Morea at his pleasure, which he owes to the
genius of the French Officers, who art' good en-
gineers as well as true Mussulrnen. They have
given to the Egyptians a plan for the construction
of a new Mosque, which they have caused to be
built of wood, at Tripolizza, instead of that
which the Christian insurgents demolished at the
commencement of the war.

The private letters from St. Petersburgh state,
that the Emperor ALEXANDER will return to Pe-
tersburgh about the middle of November, his
presence being necessary on some important di-
plomatic concerns. His MAJESTY, for the pre-
sent, will not inspect the cantonments of the Dnie-
per and that of Bessarabia, but leave it to some
future period, when he will proceed to his
Souther❑ States.

We present the account of a Catholic Meeting
which was held yesterday at the Crown and Anchor Tavern.
It appears that body are active in distributing tracts in suppor
of their faith ; in truth, we have met with such. But could not
they offer a pretty little relic of some kind or other, of which the
religion of our forefathers had such abundance, ong with the
tracts ?—a nail out of the real cross, a thorn out of the crown ?
Or even a crucifix would be a handy thing ; or a little image,
like a tobacco-stopper, of the Goddess whom they worship, the
Queen of Heaven, with the bambino in her arms; which ob-
jects of idolatry are in all their churches where there are no Pro-
testants to turn them deserved ridicule. Above all, why can-
not they compass a miracle or two ? The religion of our fore-
fathers could work you a miracle every day : and Popery, they
tell us, never alters. Miracles, also, are, incessantly performed
at Rome, to convince the faithful, who have no need to be con-
vinced. \Ve treat this subject with mockery, because we think
it the best way of putting an end to the foolish stir which the
Papists are making in support of the religion of our forefathers;
for we verily believe, if they proceed, they will stand a fair
chance of having some of the penal statutes against them re-
vived, instead of procuring emancipation.—( Tinics.)
