SHOCKING OCCURRENCE.—Last evening
.sOine
young men were bathing in the River, near 'Mill.,
bank, when one of them, named Richard Edwards,
a copper-plate printer, residing in Denton-street,
Westmister, ventured too far, and not being An
able swimmer, he lost all command of himself,
and finding himself in such a dangerous situa-
tion, he called to his companions to come to his
assistance; but, alas, before they could render
him any, he sunk to rise no more. Several per-
sons were employed dragging for the body up to
10 o'clock last night, but could not find it."

This morning as the Lottery Wheels were be-
ing removed from Somerset House to Basingh,tll.
street, preparatory to the drawing this evening,
and escorted by a party of the Life'Guards, one
of them in coming through the archway into the
Strand, his horse stumbled and fell with great
violence on the ground, and the rider was very
much hurt particularly in the leg which was
dreadfully lacerated; however, after a short de-
lay, he was enabled to remount and yroceid to
his destination.

X.xiraele from the itlorntng Papers, July 15,1828.

[MORNING. HERALD.]
• The French occupation of Spain was one of
the last matters of public importance, and the
-ter-past-connected with the foreign interests of
the country, respecting which an expleamtion
was demanded in Parliament. The Secretary for
Foceign Affairs- declared that there was no
groped of apprehension, as he had received satis-
factory assurances, end. so forth: It appears,
however, from the French papers, and from pri-
Tate accounts, that the French consider them-
selvas quite at home at Cadiz. The transaction
is not very minutely, or perhaps quite correct-
ly detailed, but it may be reduced to this, that
the French flag has usurped authority in mat-
ters of international communication at Cadiz ;
and that the• Captain of an English frigate-
-who, by the bye, bears a name ominous in
this instance, as well as heroic—refused to
acknowledge any other flag than the Spanish
in a Spanish port. To this may be added, that
the Captain of a French brig, on duty at the
mouth of the bay, sent a message, which, under
other circumstances, would be impertinent, but
addressed to the Captain of an English frigate
was burlesque—asking who had the.terneriLy to
bctard an English packet without his leave ?
This buSiness is, no doubt, not yet terminated.
—lt is hardly to be supposed that Captain Rod-
ney acted without express orders from the Ad-
miralty. The contingency was so obvious upon
the French occupation of Cadiz, naval as well as
military, that it must have been anticipated and
instructions given accordingly. But then Mr.
Canning has received satisfactory assurances that
the French have no designs upon Cadiz be-
yond the letter anti objects of the treaty of
occupation. This might have some value if
assurances of this kind were not as false as
they are frequent, and in this particular case,
after a recent one, utterly worthless. The
assurances given by the French Government
of the pacific intention of the Sanitary Cor-
don, whil,a the invasion of Spain was preparing,
were quite as strong, and at the time
.described
also as satisfactory. Yet, was that one of the
grossest instances of petty falsehood in the whole
history of diplomacy—this Without reference to
the justice or injustice of the invasion itself.. The
truth is, that in these times—andtindeed in most
other times—for injustice is of all ages—having
first the power to do any thing, the easiest thing
possible is to find reasons. It is only necessary,
too, that tie French should entertain an idea of
their having the power. They could even, most
probably, obtain the mock sanction of a treaty of
cession from the present 'Spanish Government,
which is a mere puppet in their hands, and turn
round upon his Majesty's Ministers with the
counter-question, by what right we keep posses-
sion of Gibraltar. The Spaniards in London—
some at least„ scout the notion of any ulterior
designs entertained by the French Government
upon Cadiz—for that the French dare not think of
it. But the reason is just about as " satisfactory"
us Mr. Carfnirig's ". assurances." Louis Xi V.
and Buonaparte, dared considerably more when
t:iey attempted to " annihilate the Pyrenees.—
England and Europe are not, unhappily, to be
always in a state of peace. No one since the
Abbe St. Pierre had dreamed of " a project of
perpetual peace," excepting the Apostle of New
Lanark, who seems as much in want of " audi-
ence meet" ai his predecessor, though he has
tried both hemispheres, Considering the interval
since the close of the last war, there is even an
alarming proximity to, if not excess over, the
"verage period that would result from the inter-
vals of peace in modern history. Now the pro-
tracted occupation of Cadiz by the French, so as
to meet the breaking out of a war, or the pre-
sectiment of such an occurrence, is not a ques-
tion to be set at rest by mere " satisfactory as-
surances." The question pending at present, for
it is one that must be settled, may be best under-
stood by Lein; briefly stated. It is this—whe-
ther English ships shall or shall not enter the
ports of Spain without the good leave of the
Fretach.

eunr.IC.L,EDGE.R.I
• it was all a fable about a change of system in
the Government of Spain, as we learn from an
article in the French Papers, which arrived last
night. The new'l4rittistry, such at least of them
.
as have made, their appearance on the public
scene,, entertain more exaggerated notions than
their predecessors ; and therefore the nature of
the change is perfectly obvious. We foolishly
imagined, that the last Ministers were dismissed
because they were too.servile ; whereas they were
not servile enough. The new Minister of War,
the Marquis Zarnbrano, has published a confession
of his political faith, which protnises him a long '
course of favour, if he has nerve (Tone; to adhere
to it. The occasion too .was ~w'ell•selected, as it
was in the midst of the. carpi of which he had '
previously-the command, and, ,which he is allow.'
ed to retain, in conjunction with his rniqks-
terial functions, that lie made the declaration of
his political opinions. " 1 swear," says this faith-
fill servant," never to.contribute, directly or in-
directly, to 'diminish the absolute sovereignty of
the King, and that I will never consent to make
any alteration in the form of hii G overnment."—
We liave here oreourse the 'secret ofhii advance-
ment, and a proof, if any were wanting, of the
sentiments by' which Ferdinand is animated.—
From the spontaneous act of the,Monarch, it is
absurd to expect any relief for the unfortunate
naticitt,"Whoie destinies he regulates for the pre-
sent. It would be equally absurd, we fear, to
count .upon any favourable change, through
the iuterference of his allies ; for these, if they
were •so disposed, could have Mona since corn,
to.makc,a more,temperat use of his
unrestricted power. .In the part which the French
Government plays, there is .throughout a vein of
consummate hypocrisy, because, whilst it alfiects
to censure the arbitrary freaks of. ;the. Spanish
Monarch, it: has rnade, the least attempt
as yet to chec.kte them.
.jt, :therefore, pro.
bahle, that he receives secret encouragement,,

,

from that very Government to act as he has
done ; and if the lesson is not practised in France, '
the reason is to be found in the character of the
French people, and not in the sentiments of
their rulers. It is, therefore, perfectly idle to
speak of the liberal views of the French Mini-
stry—of their recognition of the independence of
Hayti, and of their approaches to a friendly inter-
course with South America. If they are anxious to
act a liberal part, let them begin with Spain,
which stands so much in need of their benevolent
interference ? and till they attempt to redress
the evils they have been chiefly instrumental in
bringing on that country, their pretended libe-
rality in other things is nothing but moonshine.

[T111: TIMES.] ,
It is inconceivable what evil may result to
Governments and States from the indiscreet con-
duct of subordinate officers. We learn with some
surprise that a French Commander of a small
vessel, of that nation • has, on pretence of en-
forcing the quarantine laws, attempted to stop
the entrance of a British frigate into the Spanish
port of Cadiz, and othervtise to controul its pro-
ceedings when arrived. The interference-was re-
pelled, no doubt with proper spirit, by the officer
bearing the King of England's commission. The
French entered Spain, no matter on what pre-
tence, or for what cause. The motives of the
entrance—the motives for thus violating the ter-
ritory of an independent State, were explained
to other
.independent States ; and, whether up-
proved or not, were at least for 'a time ac-
quiesced in by His Britannic Majesty's
,Go-
vernment. We should wish to know whether
one of the motives thus stated by the French,
and by us allowed as valid, was the. protec-
tion of the Peninsula from infectious fever ?
Is it among the instructions of the French Cap.:
taro, that he, whether the Spaniards were will-
ing, or we were willing, or neither of us were
willing, should take, upon himself to enforce cer-
tain quarantine laws in the port of Cadiz, against
British ships of war ? If both these
.vestions
must be answered in the negative, then have we
a right to insist upon the punishment by suspen-
sion of an officer who thus hazards the peace of:
two powerful nations by his impertinent inter-
meddling. To whatever state Slain may be
duced, she is at least able to enforce .in her own
ports measures conducive to the general good,
upon- the vessels of a friendly power.

[BRITISH PRESS.]
The French papers. which arrived last night
contain no article of domestic intelligence worthy
of being transferred to our columns. The end-
less discussion concerning the reduction of the.
Rentes is continued with as much earnestness as
if it had been commenced only yesterday. The
news from Madrid is to the 30th ult. The new
Minister of War, the -Marquis of Zambrono, is
represented as a.rnan of great firmness of pur-
pose. He has declared his• intention of putting
an end to the turbulence of the Royalist -volun.
teers. Ile is an equally staunch adherent of the
system of absolute Monarchy. The late Viceroy
of Peru, La Serna, and General Canterac, in spite
of the advice of their fiiends, have proceeded to
Madrid, and, contrary to expectation, have been
received very favourably. It was expected that
they would he required to attend. a meeting• of
the Council of State, at which the state of affairs
in South America was to he considered. Letters
from Saragossa speak of several arrests, in con-
sequence of the alleged discovery of a correspon-
dence with the Liberals at Gibraltar. The 10th
anniversary of the restoration of the Kingdom of
Poland was celebrated at Warsaw-, on the '2oth
ult., with great splendour. The Emperor of
Russia has given his sanction to the establisment
of a Technological Institution at Moscow, the ob-
ject of which is to propagate the useful sciences
.and promote manufactures.

- [MORNING CHRONICLE.]
We have received the Paris Papers of Tuesday
and the Etoile of Wednesday.---A.great subject
of discussion with the • Paris Journals for some
time, is the conduct of the Opposition Press in
this country. The Ministerial Papers are per-
petually dwelling on our virtuecour mildness,
our liberality towards Ministers, the absence
from personality, by which we are charac-
terised, &c.• &c. The Journal des Daats of
Tuesday, in a
..long article, vindicates the
Paris Press, and charges the Ministerial
Papers with ignorance of the real state of
things in this country. According to the
Journal des Debuts opposition is mute in Eng-.
land, because there is nothing to
,find fault with,
positively nothing. " Foreign affairs furnish a
subject of attack to the opposition among our
neighbours—al! parties are agreed as to the
policy of Mr. Canning ; for the majority mishes
the glory, the wealth, and the power of Old
England, and the minority wishes Repub-
lics ........ •. . . Lord Liverpool,
.the
Chancellor, Lord .Bathurst, Lord Westmor-
land, Mr. Peel, &c. are the champions
of the aristocratic majority of the nation;
the democratic minority and its doctrines, has
its representatives in Mr. Canning and his two
friends (Messrs. Huskisson and Robinson) ; the
combat has finished for want of combatants:" So
much for the French idea of the state of things in
.this country. We have sometimes had our doubt
of the wisdom of comparing a Cabinet of men of
every variety of principles—of. No Popery and
Emancipation men, of the partisans of Doctrines
respecting trade in vogue fifty years back, and
the partisans of the liberal doctrines. now in
vogue. We had an idea that Government
should not ha- perpetually moving backwards
and forwards like a weathercock, but steady
and consistent.----Our neighbours, however, it
seenis, think differently.—" Let an University be
composed in France, says the Journal des Debats,
on these
.principles ; • let .the men the most cep:r-.
ble and the most renowned be taken among
those entertaining opinions. of every shade; and
the opposition will disappear in like manner
among us." That is, let the French Ministry be
compos.ed of mein who wish to . build casties. in
a.tid• men who, instead of. wasting the
treasures of the. people 'in Quixotic
.e'Or;ditions,
wish to cultivate, :the iirdustey and ieotirceN;

of the country : in short, let the opposition'
of M. de Chateaubriand and M. Hyde de
Neuville be transferred' from the Parliament
to the Council, and. France will prosper. It is
one way, to be sure, of getting rid of opposition,
to transfer it from the Parliament to the Cabinet !
However, we see the benefit of it every day in
England, when the Chancellor endeavours, with
might and main, to give the favourite measures
of his colleagues the coup de grace in his own
assembly.

[NEW TIMES.]
. Some of the French Journalists make it matter
of boast, that the
,editions of Voltaire are daily
multiplying in France. If the fact be so, it speaks
as ill for the taste of Frenchmen as it does for
their morals and religion. The most odious fea-
ture of Voltaire's mind was, that down to the
very last weakness of• old age; and long after all
natural passion must have been extinct, lielre-
yelled in a goatish and bestial obscenity; to which
we don't believe there ever was a parallel. Let
us ask any French critic whether he would
have the shameless profligacy to put Voltaire's
Pucelle into the hands of a sister or a daughter ?
Let us ask him if he can read that horrid mixture
of lewdness and blasphemy without loathing.?
We say nothing of the false opinions of the
wretched Author in religion. Hobbes and Spi-
nosa were perhaps more deeply imbued
with errors of judgment ; but at least they
were sincere ; at least they thought pro-
foundly, and pursued an irreproachable moral
conduct. But the Mind of Voltaire was cor-
rupted throughout by the union of vanity and
sensuality. He treated the most serious con-
cern of human life with horrid mockery ; and
to render his scoffings palatable to the most
depraved taste, he clothed them in language to
which no modest ear could listen. Nor was it
only in a single production that he evinced this
turpitude of hr-art and soul ;it recurs in volume
after. volume of his numerous. publications; in-
deed nearly one-half of them is made up of such
diabolical ingredients. But it is said these pas-
sages are. to be excused, iii consideration of the
talent displayed in other parts of his work. To
:this we cannot accede. We do not profess to be-
'accurate judges -of French literature, and we
are willing to believe that Voltaire may have
possessed greater power of intellect than we have
.ever been able to discover in his works; • for,
to say the truth, they appear to us seldom to rise
to the sublime, and often to sink below medio-
crity. His Ilenriade is miserably prosaic, and
his Newtonian Philosophy is fit only for a school-
boy. But, if .they had been the most brilliant
effusions of human genius, they could never have
compensated for a hundredth part of the gross-
ness to be found inxeveral of his other compOsi-
tioni. We should tremble .to see such books in
the hands of a youth ; "and the female, young or
old, who could .willingly peruse them, must be
no better than:a prostitute..

.[MORNING POST.]
French Papers to the 13th instant, with the
Etoile. of Wednesday,: reached us by express last
night. They contain some intelligence from Greece
of a mixed character,- in which however the fa-
vourable preponderates. • Besides this, all that is
dark -and. menacing is extracted from the great
sources of „hostility and misrepresentation, the
• Austrian Observer and the Quotidienne..• They
complacently publish a long report, in which. the
Austrian Major Randiera, Commander of the fri-
gate irethusa, endeavours to depreciate, not being
_able .to deny altogether, the advantages'stated by
the Dutch Colonel .RO-fliers -to have-been gained
by the Greek fleet at- Modon. • lie• admits the
number of vessels destroyed to be about the
same, but represents• them as of inferior force,
turning frigates into brigs,: and new transports
into old ones, with wonderful facility. He also
endeavours to detract from thenoble defencemade
by the small-garrison of Navarino against a power-
ful army, and evidently anticipates with plea-
sure the possible subjugation of the Morea,
and the consequent annihilation of Grecian in-
dependence. Meanwhile, however, the Almighty
ann which has carried Greece triumphant through
worse dangers than these, is not withdrawn.—
The spirit of patriotism, which alone prompt.
ed, and . which alone can accomplish the great
enterprise of national regeneration, had derived
fresh vigour and activity from the momentary
check which the glorious cause which it sustains
has experienced. The Moreans, who were on-
, willing to fight under Conduriottis, are said to
be rising- in mass, now that Colocotroni is once
more at their head, and- to have already form.
ed such a force.-that it was deemed sufficient -for
the protection of the Peninsula, and the troops of
Continental Greece were to be sent back, one
part to Missolunghi to resist, and we trust repel,
Redschid Pacha, the other to Eubcea, to block-
ade Negroponte, the Turkish gdrrison of which
had lately made incursions into Bceotia. The
report of negociatimis • having been opened by
the Senate of Napoli di Romania with the Turkish
Government is mentioned, but merely as an ex-
pedient adopted by the latter (if adopted
at all, for the news wants confirmation) to
gait, time in order to organize a more power-
ful defence.- The restoration of Colocotroni to
the command of the army, is said in a letter from
Constantinople, dated June Ithh, to have excit-
ed great sensation in the Divan, where the Rus-
sian party had . immediately revived. It-was no
longer supposed that Ibrahim. Pacha would ven-
ture into the interior of the Morea, but it was
thought that heivould confine himself to an at-
tempt at raising the siege.of Patras. In order to
gratify the populace at Constantinople, the heads
and ears sent fromSalona twi, barbarousßedschid
Pacha had been exposed at the gate of the Se-
raglio. After receiving an Imperial Courier from
Wars, w, Mr. Minziacky had demanded an
audience of the Reis-Effendi, which was granted,
and soon after the French Ambassador had sent
one of his Aides-de-Camp to- the Morea to con-
fer, it was thought, on the subject of the commu-
nication,: with, the Greek Government. This
letter confirms the accounts of three of the largest

both fleets (Turkish and Egyptian) had taken re-
fuge in the Island of Candle. Letters from Spain,
given in the Journal de Paris,antiounce that several
arrests had taken place in that country under the
pretence of a secret correspondence having been
discovered with the Liberals at Gibraltar. They
also state the arrivals of Generals Laserna and
Canterac at Madrid. The King, on the 23d,
assembled the Officers of the Royalist Volun-
teers, and thanked them publicly for the con-
duct which they had observed ; and the new
Minister of War, the Marquis of Zambrano,
immediately after his installation, addresed the
cavalry of the guard, and declared to them that
he -7ould never consent to the slightest dimi-
nution of the rights or absolute sovereignty of
of the King, or to any alteration in the form of
Government.

TURIN, JUNE 28.—The following notice, re-
lative to a great mechanical genius of this place, will at once
astonish and gratify the public. His name is Guiseppe Ma-
sera; he was a simple peasant, and was born in the village of
Mentefalcone, near Chieri. He spent his youth in feeding
sheep or driving the plough ; and the first discovery of his genius
was on beholding an ancient watch and an old pendule with
wooden whet:B, in a short time after which he became the vil-
lage clock-maker, anti subsequently succeeded in making pen-
doles with music, figures, &c. ; but one of his most remarkable
productions of this nature was a small throne of polished brass,
upon which was seated King David with his harp, the whole
contained in the head of a cane. This machine was wound up
as a watch, and produces the sound of an 'organ with Stich exact-
ness, and the figure followed the sound with such accuracy, that
it would be really imagined that the sounds proceeded from the
motion of the fingers. He, however, never took a lesson in draw-
ing or music, and his idea was simply taken from a figure
of the Prophet painted on the walls of the collegiate church of
Chieri. In the composition of this and various other instru-
ments of a similar description, 31 asera lamented the want of an
instrument that could render an indefinite number of airs. To
remedy this defect, after a variety of experiments and the most
persevering industry, he succeeded in performing, unassisted
by the aid of musical knowledge, an instrument which has
received the name of the illusicoGrafo, which has the look
of a piano-forte, and which, by its internal mechanical con-
struction; receives whatever air is played upon the keys with
a most astonishing exactness. To this is added another instru-
ment, called the Pantosono, which will repeat the notes com-
municated to it by the Musice Grafi, and which may with
facility be adapted to an organ or piano. But this is not his
only effort of genius ; being desirous of engraving some musi-
cal signs on an ivory tablet, he found his hand unable to per.
form the operation ; lie afterwards applied himself to the in-
vention of an instrument, by the use of, which the art of engrav-
ing will be highly benefitted. By the use thereof the graver
directs his tool with the greatest nicety, so that lie can desciibe
two lines very near approaching, yet without the fear of unit-
ing, and with greater nicety than the finest miniature painter
can describe the lines in the skin. In addition to these useful
inventions connected with the fine arts, he has communicated
to the Royal Arsenal, a method of turning and polishing gun-
barrels 10 or 12 at a time, and for polishing all kinds of metals;
it is turned by means of. water. A machine of this kind was
many years ago invented in France, and had been lately intro-
duced into the Royal Arsenal of Turin. His method of polish-
ing arms was totally unknown, hitherto always having been
performed by manual labour. His Majesty has given him an
employ in the Royal Arsenal, and an exclusive privilege for
twenty years for the manufacture and sale of the different
inventions.

We extract the, following from a late number
of the New York Evening Post:---" New York
never saw such days as the prestnt since it was a
city. All kinds of active business prospers, ex-
cept lawyers, which, if we may believe the loud
and general complaint of the profession, with
scarcely a dissentient, languishes. Such has been
the tide of population which has, during the past
and the present year, set towards this city, that
habitations cannot he had : shops and stores
command double rents to what they did last sea-
son, and still the demand cannot be supplied.
The streets are so obstructed by the great num-
ber of buildings going up and pulling down,
that they have become almost impassable, and a
scene of bustle, noise, and confusion prevails,
that no pen cam describe, nor any but an eye-
witness imagine."

One °Mlle Saint Petersburgh Journals, dated
the 18th June, says—" M. BEIwGREN, a cele-
brated Oriental traveller, had just arrived in
that capital. During the years 1820, 1821, and
1823, he has visited Turkey, Syria, Meso-
potamia, Palestine, and Egypt: lie is the last
traveller, after Seezen", Burkhardt, and the Count
Vidua di Montana, who has seen the interesting
ruins of Djeraza, in the deserts of Ifouraan. It
is said he intends publishing a French and Arabic
Dictionary, which will be a literary performance
of great advantage to travellers. Amongst the
curious MSS. which he has brought from Syria is
The Secret Law of the Druses, which M.' Be rg-
gren, with the aid of Professor Senkowsky, pur-
poses to have printed at Saint Petersburgh, with
a French translation. This MS. is considered as
one of the most valuable that ever was brought to
Europe."
Wednesday the LORD PROVOST reported to
the Council, that Government had agreed to
erect the Western Pier at the public expence ;
and that the 240,0001. were now at the command
of the Council, on condition that the City should
carry out the East Pier, and deepen the Old
Harbour.— ( Edinburgll. Paper.)
A severe storm of hail and snow was expe-
rienced at Driffield on• Tuesday week, so much
so, that on the very spot where but a few days
before the children of the towsi were seen-play-
ing amongst the new-mown hay, under the vivid
rays of the summer sun, they were observed,:aur-
rounded by the hoary signs of winter, throwing
snow-balls at each other, and shivering from the
bitterness of the unseasonable .blast.

The learned Mr. %VANLEY, in a letter to Dr.
CHARTLETT, says, " I cannot vouch for the fol-
lowing bill of fare, which the Czar (PETER the
G►IEAT) and his company (thirteen at table in
all) eat up et Godalmin, in Surrey ; but it is
averred for truth by an eye-witness who saw
them eating, and had this bill from the land-
lord :—At breakfast, half a sheep, one quarter
of lamb, ten pullets, one dozen of chickens,
three quarts of brandy, six quarts of mulled
wine, seven dozen of eggs, with sallads in pro-
portion. At dinner, five ribs of beef three stone
weight, one sheep fifty pounds weight, three
quarters of a lamb, a shoulder and a loin of veal
boiled, eight pullets, four couple of rabbits,
two dozen and a half of sack, and one dozen of
claret,"

On Thursday morning, the body of a man, In
a putrid state, wan found on the Sands at Leith, opposite the
Glasshouse. It proved to be the body e a German sugar
boiler, who had arrived at Leith about 15 days ago, on his
way to Glasgow,and had been missing ever sinee.—(Edinburgh
Paper.)
