BRAZIL PAYERS.

Rio DE JATiEnto., MAY 24.—The revolutionary spirit which
has done so much injury to. Brazil, has now infected the pro-
'rime Cisplatina, and the most perfidious treason has manifested
itself there. Fructuoso Rivera, the monster who but a little
while ago was rewarded by his Imperial Majesty much beyond
.the services which he had performed, having received the Coss
bf the Order of Christ, and his Majesty, as we are'assured,
paid his enormous debts,—this traitor, who but lately published
an oath of fidelity to his Majesty and to the cause of Brazil,
dared on the 27th to rebel against the Government of his Im-
perial Majesty, to join the rebels of the province of Monte
Video and at their head to declare himself their chief. The
news ofi these events reached this capital on the 17th—that is 20
days after the event took place. His Imperial Majesty, inde-
fatigable in maintaining the integrity of the empire, and in pro-
moting every thing that can add to the happiness of his subjects;
immediately convoked the Council of State, after which the most
pressing orders were issued to fit out an expedition sufficient to
raatere order and public tranquillity, which have been unfortu-
nete/y disturbed by men who aspiring to rule or rather to plunder
depot care to trample on the rights• and domestic happiness of
their fellow-citizens, and to see their blood flow, if they do but
attain their own ends ; and on the 21st,of this month—that is
eleven days after the vessel which brought the news sailed from
Monte Video, we saw the first division embark of the troops
that arrived to go to that place, consisting of 2,000 men of all
arms. Ilia Majesty reviewed these troops previous to their em-
, barkation. We shall not attempt to describe the pleasure these
• corps expressed at being selected for this expedition. On his Ma-
jesty addressing them, and saying, " The integrity of the Em-
pire is threatened in Monte Video—it is our duty to maintain it.
Well 'then, comrades, let ns march," they broke out into ac-
clamations of " Long live the Emperor and Empress," her
l'ilajesty. being present. An order of the day expresses
his Majesty's satisfaction at the discipline of the troops, and'
at their readiness to go on the expedition ; and the other troops
having appeared to regret that they were not chosen, it is add-
ed that they are equally entitled to his Majesty's approbation;
and that the army is,persuaded that those who go are not chosen
..as being better than the others, nor are those who remain be-
hind to be considered as Worse than the others. 'We have no
doubt that the revolution of Monte Video will, on the arrival
of our troops on their plains end like these of Carvalho,
gueiras, &c. ;' especially as letters have been received which
show that Rivera Is surrounded by Colonel Ferrara, who was '
not surprised and taken prisinmr as was stated ; and that the
infamous Rivera was taking the same precaution as Carvalho to
leave in the snare thetl'eluded men who had the misfortune to
he implicated.
MAY 2(l.—The expedition sailed on the 25th, with Vice-Ad.
miral Rodrigo Lobo, who is to take the command of the
squadron, and Lieutenant-Francisco de Paulo Magessi. When
we see the zeal of-all the Ministers and the heads of all the de-
partments to second the efforts of his Majesty, we cannot doubt
a moment of the success of the measures which have been so
promptly carried into effect.—Diario Flumineme, May 26.

journal articles not relished by the Jesuitit. ft being known
that he purposed to insert an extract from The Life of Scipio
Ricci, a work detested by that party, counsel and threats were
received from all directions. Continuing firm in his design, a
most unwarrantable attack was made upon him on Sunday,
July 31+, by, the rectors of the five parishes of Ghent, who from
the pulpit denounced M. Houdin as the agent of an impi"us
league for the destruction of religion: This was not all : every
circa was made to excite the journeymen printers against their
master, and even money was distributed to induce them to
abandon his employ. On Monday, August 1, the men came as
usual to the printing-office, but it was merely to say that after
the 'menaces of the rectors, they could no longer continue to
work for M. Houdin, without rendering themselves guilty to-

Admiralty,Office, Aug. 20. .
Extract of a Letter from Captain Coe, of his Majesty's ship
Liffey, to .John Wilson Croker, Esq. dated .at Madras, the
15th February, 1825.
1 have the honour to inclose, for the information of the Right
Hon. the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, sundry dis-
patches from Capt. Marryat, of his Majesty's ship Lame, in
the command of the naval force in the River Rangoon, detail-
ing various successful attacks on the enemy, while co-operating
with the army under the command of Rrigadier-General Sir
Archibald Campbell, apd I feel much pleasure in recommend-
ing to their Lordships' notice that officer, as.well as those
named in the margin, to whose zealous exertions and cool in-
trepidity are to be attributed the successful results of the various
attacks which they conducted against the enemy. lam pleased
in having it in my power to 'recommend, in the strongest terms,
Sir. Henry L. Slaw, Midshipman of this ship, who volunteered
Iris servicekto General Sir A. Campbell, and who accompanied
him in all his operations ; and I trust, from the high enco-
miums passed on his conduct, their Lordships will be pleased
to consider his services, and his having been most dangerously
wounded.

I have also the honour to inclose dispatches from Captain
Chads, of his 'Majesty's-sloop Araame, in which their Lord-
ships will obServe, that the conduct of that officer has been
such, in the Many successful attacks he has made against the
enemy, while in the command at Rangoon, as to require
little comment of mine to recommend him in the strongest
terms to their Lordships,. The service that this officer has
conducted•has been of the 'most arduous nature, and in which
the enemy have been so completely defeated and dispersed,
particularly in the attack of the Bth December, in which they
have been routed in all directions, as to require considerable
time to prepare for (if they dare risk) another attack. The
bravery displayed by Lieutenant: Kellet,' of the Arachne, and
Acting Lieutenant George Goldfinch; of the Sophie, (late Ad-
miralty Illidshipnian of the Liffey), who led on to the Various
attacks, will, Tam assured; not-.pass unnoticed by their Lord-
ships ; any encomiums of mine would fall -very short of their
merits, and the latter has been severely wounded. Captain'
Chads speaks.iu the strongest terms his high approbation of
Captain Ityves; from whom he received every support and
Counsel in the various piaints of attack on that day.
The highest encomiums are passed by Captain Chads on the
conduct of the officers- of the, squadron named in the margin,
as also the remainder of the officers, seamen, and marines, to
which I beg to call the attention of their Lordships ; indeed,
the two services have endeavoured to vie with each other in
distinguishing themselves in this most arduous service, where
they have endured so much privation ; and nothing .but the
cordial co-operation evinced by the naval and military forces,
the good discipline of his .fajesty's ships, and the intrepidity
of their gallantleaders, could have ensured that success which
has always followed the exertions of the seamen, non-commis-
sioned officers, and Royal Marines, whose conduct has been
invariably that of brave and gallant men, to whom I have
conveyed my warmest thanks; and conduct such as they have
displayed, I am well assured, their Lordships will not suffer to
pass unnoticed.
Extract of a Letter from Captain Marryat, of his Majesty's
Sloop Lame, to Commodore Grant, dated Rangoon, 6th
August, 1824.
Brigadier-General Sir Archibald Campbell having, on the
4th instant, ordered a detachment of s • hundred men, under
the command of Colonel Smelt, to attack the eneiny, who had
stockaded themselves in the old fort of Syriam, I have the ho.
nour to inform you that I went, with two boats from his Ma-
jesty's ship Larne, to superintend the disembarkation, and ren-
der every assistance in my power. The enemy having broken
down a bridge accross a nullah, not fordable, I ordered the sea-
men to advance and repair it, that the troops might be enabled
to pass, which service they performed in a highly creditable
manner, exposed to a galling fire of musketry, and the guns
of the stockade. This service being effected, the advance was
sounded, and the stockade taken in good style by the com-
bined force.

I hardly need not observe that the officers: and.men of this.
ship did their duty on this occasion, but I conceive it- justice
particularly to mention the conduct f Mr. John Duffell, Mas-
ter's Mate of this ship, and Mr. George Winsor,"Adatiralty
Midshipman, lent from the Sophie.
List of Wounded.—Larne : William Wyllie, captain main-
top, severely; Thomas Edwards, seaman, severely. .
Lent from Sophie: Thomas reeman, seaman, slightly.

Extract of a letter from Captain Marryat, of his Majesty's
Sloop Larne, to Captain Coe, dated Rangoon, 9th Aug. 1824
• I have-the honour to inclose, for your information, a copy
of a letter from Lieutenant Fraser, stating the result of the ex-
pedition up Dalla Creek. Had it not been for the decided
gallantry of the troops and seamen employed in this expedi-
tion, the loss would have been much more severe than what
it has been, the false intelligence having been given with a
view to decoy. The stockades, instead of being composed of
bamboo, were built of strong teak timber, and placed in a
situation where the assailants had every natural difficulty to
contend against. The firing was so heavy and so continued,
that (at the request of Sir Archibald,Campbell,) I took up a
reinforcement of 200 men of the 41st regiment, under the com-
mand of Major Chambers; but the stockade was in our pos-
session, and all firing had ceased previous to my arrival. The
gallantry of the officers who were employed in this expedition,
viz. Mr. Thomas Fraser, Second Lieutenant; Mr. Robert
Atherton, Purser ; and Messrs. Duffel!, Winsor, and Norcock,'
Midshipmen, deserves the highest encomiums. I am'sorry
that our list of wounded is so heavy, but it will be accounted
for when I state, that in all these attacks the lascars, who man
the other boats, will not pull into the fire unless they are led by
the officers and seamen of his Majesty's ship Larne. The
conduct of Mr. Maw. Midshipman 'of the Liffey, has, during
the whole period of his service here, been a series of gallantry.
I have great pleasure in transmitting a letter from Sir Archi-
bald Campbell, relative to his conduct, and adding my testi-
mony to that of the Commander-in-Chief.
His Majesty's ship Larne, Rangoon, Aug. 9, 1824.
Sir=—l have the honour to inform you, that, according to
your directions I proceeded with a party of seamen and marines,
in company with a detachment of the Madras Europeans, under
the command of Colonel Kelly, to reconnoitre a stockade and
village reported to be situated about 18 miles up the palish
creek.

We bpd not rowed above two miles up the creek before we
fell in with two strong stockades, in a very narrow part of the
river. The boats of his Alajesty's ship Larne having waited a
few minutes, to allow the other boats and the lathiest with the
scaling ladders to close, the advance was sounded, and the at-
tack was made under a heavy fire of guns and musketry from
the Burmese. The scaling ladders being placed, the stockade
was stormed, under every disadvantage, with great gallantry,
the enemy running out: in every direction into the jungle.-,-
During the storming of the principal stockade, the Bombay ar.
tillery, in die raw-boats, kept up a fire on the other, and suc-
ceeded in driving the Burmese out ; and the second stockade
was taken possession of without loss.
I have the honour to be, &c.

Arachne, to Captain Coe, dated. Rangoon, 7th Nov. 1824.

On the 30th ult. the enemy's b.hats *ere seen by the on. Co-
mpany's cruizer Teignmouth, at, the advanced post above Kern-
nundine, coming down in great numbers, loaded with men.—
The same evening they came forward with fire-rafts; which
obliged the Teignmouth to slip and go below Kemmindine to
avoid them ; this unfortunately left that post exposed to a most
furions attack on every side,' the enemy's war-boats on its front,
but it was nobly defended by its garrison, under Major Yates,
and the enemy-repulsed. On the next deg, Ist of December,
the enemy :were seen in_ great number advancing towards
Della, about five thOusand men ; and they also surrounded
the Dalton Pagoda, where a.. constant heavy fire has been kept
up. Capt. Ryves, of the Sophie, .in command during my ab-
sence, procured a guard of 100 sepoys from the General for the
transports, and placed this ship. in her cld station, about a
mile and a half in advance of the shipping, to .entilade the. M-
adras lines, and also ordered the Teignmouth back •to her sta-
tion, to support the post at Kemmindine. At day-light I
returned and found things in this state, with the exception pf
the Teignmouth having:been again driven from her station dur-
ing the night by fire-rafts, and the Post at Kernmindine again
subject to furious and incessant attacks. I immediately sent the
pinnace up, under Lieut. Kellett, and Mr. Pickey, Admi-
ralty Midshipman, to gain information and reconnoitre, and
shortly afterwatds three gun-boats, under Mr. Coyde, Midship-
man, with 'a party of my seamen to fight the guns ; this assist-
ance was most timely,as the garriSon was sorely pressed in'every
direction ; froth which critical sittiation, Lieut. Kellett's highly
judiciousand.determined gallant conduct immediately relieved
them, by clearing both their flasks of the enemy by showers of
grape-shot. This service, performed by a single boat, in the
face of hundieds of the enemy's boats, was the admiration of the
whole garrison ; and Major Yates has expressed himself to me
in terms the most gratifying, for the able assistance Lieutenant
Kellett afforded him.

The Teignmouth shortly afterwards resumed her station, and
was constantly engaged with the enemy's war=boats, which had
long guns in their bows, and annoyed her a great deal. In the
afternoon, finding the enemy were making every effort to gain
that post, and•as it was of the last importance, both in a mili-
tary and naval point of view,l ordered the Sophie up for its
support, with three more gun-boats, and our party under Lieu-
tenant Kellett to remain. Whilst this post is held, the enemy
cannot annoy the shipping at Rangoon by fire, as the distance
is great, and the winding of the river, with the fire-oorrs.laid
' out, throw all the rafts upon the opposide side. The enemy
upon the Della side having begun to throw up works, I ordered
the Satellite armed transport, in charge of Lieutenant Dobson,
of the Larne, with a party of seamen from this ship, to the sup!.
port of the Good I-lope transport, already for some' time sta-
tioned there, and several, of the small gun-vessels. These ves-
sels have been from first to last_ occasionally exchanging shot
with the enemy, dismounting their guns as fast-as they got
them Up ; and the Commander of the Good Hope, Mr. Binny,
is entitled to my best thanks, for handsomely coming forward on
this occasion, and foi the essential service he has performed.
Early on the 3d, the Sophie took her station off Kemmindine.
With the ebb, the enemy again brought fire raftit down, not
lighting them until within a very short distance of the ships,
with their war-boats firing their shot over them, to prevent the.
approach of our boats. The Sophie cleared them, but the
Teignmouth was touched, and on fire for a short time: without
damage. ?During this day, the enemy became extremely
daringefinding their shot went farther than ours; upon which I
sent the Sophie two long nines, which kept them farther off. The
enemy's boats becoming more bold, it was thought right to en.
deavour to give them a check ; and Capt. Ryves, thinking they
might be surprised, laid his plans accordingly, and succeeded
to the fullest extent. A report of this gallant attack I inclose
(No. 2), which Will again bring to your notice Officers I have
already Mentioned teryou tbr their good conduCt. The result of
this defeat of the eneilles war-boats has been highly beneficial,
not one having ventured within gun-shot since. The two ships,
however, have had their hands quite full, in keeping up a Con-
stant fire on the enemy attacking Ketnimintline, and throwing
up works against them, to mount guens,- in, which weredis-
mounted as soon as got up, without their having done any ma-
terial damage: In the evening Sir Archibald Campbell com-
municated to me his' intention to attack the enenty's left wing
towards Poussendown, and requesting a diversion to he made
by a naval force up that river; a report which T inclose con-
tains the details, and which ended in the total defeat of that
portion of the enemy's force.
In the afternoon, finding the enemy at Palls strengthening
themselves, I sent the Powerful mortar vessel over, and threw
a few shells, which had considerable-effect.

On the 6th, in the Morning, finding the enemy, still persist-
ing in his attacks on Kemmendine, I sent the mortar-vessel up
there, which rendered the post very essential service, and reliev-
ed the garrison considerably.. The enemy's war-boats still
continued in sight in gut!' numbers, but at a respectful dis-
tance. On the 7th, in the morning, the enemy were seen very busy
with rafts 'and boats for fire, and with :the strong ebb they
brought them down, reaching nearly across the river, but as
their boats now do not venture close, they were fired earlier;
they consisted of upwards of 26 rafts and eight large boats,' all
lashed together. The Sophie just touched the outside one with-
out any injury, and held her ground. Attivon the troops at the
pagoda made another sally, and carried the whole of the enemy's
entrenchments, taking their guns, ammunition, &c.; on receiv-
ing this information, I immediately sent every disposable man
from this ship, under Mr. Manly.; the Master, with 20 sepoys,
in the steam-vessel, up to Capt. Ryves, to endeavour to inter-
cept their beats and cut off' their retreat ; and in the night they
went up, far beyond Pagoda Point,: without seeing above four
or five small boats, the enemy having retreated, and deserted
the neighbourhood- of Kemmindine.

- .........
Thus, Sir, this formidable attack ended in the total discom-
fiture of the enemy; having 'called forth from the very small
force I have , the honour to' coirjmand, in every instance, the
greatestgallan try and uniform good conduct, under the utmost
exertions by day and night, the greatest part of them having
been in the boats since the starting of the expedition to Peque,
the 26th ult.

From• Captain Ryves I hare received all the aid and counsel
that a good and valuable Officer could afford, and his deter-
mined perseverance in holding his ground, when the fire-rafts
came down, merits the highest recommendation ; and from his
ready and zealous co-operations with the post at Kemmindine,
that place was gi-eatly relieved in the arduous contest it was en-
gaged in.
_ _

Uf Lieutenant Kellett I cannot speak in terms sufficiently
strong to express my admitation of his uniform gallantry.
Lieut. Goldfinch's conduct has also been most conspicuous,
together with all the Midshipmen named in my reports, not one
of whom have snewn individual acts of great bravery.
Also to Mr. Manly, l‘laster of this- ship, who has, from ne.
cessity been frequently left in charge during my absence, I feel
much indebted. These Officers the seamen, and marines, I
had, the pleasure to serve with, fearnestly beg to recommend to
your most favourable attention.

(Report. No. 2,) •
Arachne, Rangoon, Bth 'December, 1824;
Sin—Capt. Ryves having thought in practicable to surprise
the enemy's war-boats, who.were annoying the ships with their
long guns very considerably, plead the wholeofhis disposable
force of Europeans, about seventy in number, under the orders
of Lieutenant Kellet, of this ship, and Lieutenant Goldfinch,
of the Sophie, Lieutenant Clarke, of the Dornbay
with MesSrs. Pickey, Coyde, Scott, and Murray, Midship-
men ;-111r.-Clarke, Bombay Marine, and Mr. Lindguist, in
charge of the gun-boats. This force was put into the three men
of war's•boats and six gun-boats, and, as the moon went down
on the morning of the 4th instant, 'shoved off, and pulling up
on the contrary shore to the war-boats, by day-light came
abreast, and boldly made a dash at them, notwithstanding
their great number and size; they were taken by surprise,
but did not run till our boats were within pistol.shot, when
their confusion was great, and they fled with all haste, keep-
ing up a smart fire; their large boats with heavy guns were
fixed-on by our boats, and from the fire of our grape were
soon unmanned and captured. 'Lieut. Kellett came up with
some of the first, with heavy guns, and:Lieutenant Goldfinch,
passinphitn, whilst taking possession, captured the boat of the
commander of the war.bocts, with the flag; her crew running
into the jungle. The chace was continued three or four miles,
when Lieutenant Kellett judged it prudent to secure his prizes,
having an enemy of considerable force in his rear, up another
branch of the river. The result of this gallant exploit was the
capture of seven large war-boats, four of which carried long
~nines on the bow; and on ,their return they cut athift'and
brought down a large floating stockade from Pagoda Point;
and what adds to the value of this is, that it was performed
without the loss of a man.
Lieutenant Kellett's conduct on this and on former occasions
speaks for itself, and I trust will meet with its due reward.
Lieutenant Goldfinch is a valuable officer; and merits every
praise ; Lieutenant Kellett reports the high gallantry of Lieu-
tenant Clarke and the Midshipmen commanding the boats,
and of every individual under his command.—L have the honour

Extract of a Letter from Captain Chads, of his Majeity's sloop
Arachne, to Captain Coe, dated Rangoon, 18th Dec., 1824.
Within these last three days, the enemy having returned, and
recommended offensive operations, particularly by annoying us
with immense quantities of fire-rafts, one of which consisted of
upwards of sixty canoes, besides bamboo rafts, all loaded with
oil and combustibles. I thought it probable these preparations
might be
,destroyed ; and as 1 had before sent a force up . the
Pain-lain branch of the river, without finding any thing, I this
time ordered one up the Lyne branch, under Lieutenant Kel-
lett, of this ship, to consist of the steam vessel, with the ship's
marines, and soldiers (kindly granted by Major Yates, com-
manding at Kenmaindine), amounting in all to forty men for
her defence, the pinnaces of the Arachne and Sophie, and to tow
the Honourable Company's cruiser Prince of Wales. Before
day-light yesterday morning, they proceeded with the first of
the flood, and at a shOrt distance above Pagoda Point, saw
largenumbers of the enemy's war-boats, at least two hundred,
who retired in 'good order as they advanced, keeping up a smart
fire from their long guns, fire boats having them mounted, and
taking their distance that the carronades should' not reach
them ; when about seven miles up, a raft was drawn right
.across the river, and set on tire by them to prevent the advance
of our vessels; but an opening was found, and Lieut. Kellett,
now seeing the river quite clear, with great judgment, decreas-
ing the power. of steam, deceived the enemy and lulled them
into security, when, putting on the whole force of steam, and
casting off the Prince of Wales, he was immediately within grape
and musketry distance; the enemy finding themselves in this
situation, drew up in regular line to receive them : this gallant
little band was not, however, to be daunted by their shew of re-
sistance, but nobly dashed on, although the Prince of Wales
was out of sight ; the heavy fire from the two boats, carro-
nades and musketry, threw the enemy into confusion and panic,
and they flew in all directions, leaving us in possession of three
of their largest war-boats, the Chief's one mounting three guns,
and pulling sixty oars; the other two, one in their bow, nine
and six-pounders, with about forty other boats of all descrip-
tions, many of them loaded with ammunition and provisions for
their army before Rangoon.
The securing of. thirty of these boats and destroying the
others,' took up the whole of the flood; when . Lieut. Kellett,
having most fully accomplished my instructions and wishes, re-
turned, destroying on his way down quantities of materials for
fire-rafts, and a great many canoes laden with earth oil. The
enemy's loss in killed and wounded must have been very great,
ours, I rejoice to add, not a man hurt, the steam vessel having
been stockaded to secure the men.
' I cannot find words sufficiently strong, in which to recom-
mend Lieutenant Kellett's uniform gallantry to.you ; his con-
duct on this, as well as the former occasions, proves him a most
Valuable officer. Lieutenant Goldfinch, of the Sophie, I have
also frequently had occasion to name to you, and with pleasure
I repeat my" former recommendations; he was in the Sophie's
pinnace, with .Mr. Murray, Midshipman. Mr. Tomlinson,
Admiralty Midshipman, commanded this ship's pinnace,
and. Mr.• Winsor, Admiralty Midshipman, was in charge of
the stearn-veseel, and shewed his usual judgment and good
conduct. •
• Liedtenant Killet .speaks in the highest terms of the deter
,mined steady conduct of every man under him, soldiers,
sailors, 'and marines; and feels much indebted to Lieute-
nant •Gollinson, commanding the Honourable Company's
cruizer, Prince of Wales, for the able assistance that vessel
rendered him.
During these operations, the Commander of the Forces,' Sir
Archibald Campbell, attacked the enemy in-the same direction,
and gained a most brilliant victory.
In addition to the foregoing reports, Captain Coe has.trans-
misted to Mr. Croker a letter from Captain Mitchell, of his
Majesty's sloop Slaney, giving an account of the co-operation
of a party of seamen and marines from the vessel, under the
orders of Lieutenant Mathews, First of the Slaney, with the
force employed in May 1824, under Colonel M'Creagh, in the
reduction of the Island of •Cheduba ' • in which service the fol-
lowing Officers and men of the Slaney were killed or wound-
ed, viz.:—
John Parr, corporal of marines, killed; Lieutenant H. B.
Mathews, slightly wounded; James Byning, boatswain, slight-
ly wounded ; J. Thompton, quartermaster, dangerously
wounded ' • L. Paget, able seaman, dangerously wounded (since
dead) • E. Chamberlain, captain's steward, slightly wounded.
And Captain Coe has also transmitted a report from Captain
RyVes, of his Majesty's sloop Sophie, of a successful attack
made upon some stockades near the village of Kemmindine, on
the 3d of June, 1524, in which the following loss was sustained
by the naval part of the expedition, -die—
His Majesty's ship Larne.—Peter Knox, quarter-master,
killed ; Mr. Atherton, purser, slightly wounded.
Hisellajesty'e ship Sophie.---Mr. George Goldfinch, acting
master, severely wounded ; Mr. Charles Scott, master's mate,
slightly wounded; Mr. Thomas Huggett, quarter-master, se-

JESUITS' COLLEGES.

LANCASHIRE.
THE JESUITS' COLLEGE AT STONYTIURST.

We are indebted to the French Revolution for
the settlement of this society in our neighbourhood. It was
originally established near Liege, in the, Netherlands, at what
time is, on the present occasion, of little consequence. When
they were driven' from thence, and their property confiscated,
they sought an asylum in England, and were presented by the
father, or grandfather, of Mr. Weld, the present owner of Lul-
worth Castle, with the house and 100 acres of land, at Stony-
burst. They have since purchased 100 more, and this, we
have reason to believe, is the' extent cf their landed property.
They are also tenants for no inconsiderable quantity of land,
although the produce of the whole is insufficient for the wants
of their establishment.

The society consists of superiori, missionaries, and teachers.
'the first of these are few in number; they are the governors
of the establishment, and have the whole direction of its af-
fairs. One of them is called the President ; which office is at
present held by the gentlenian who gave to, the English pub-
lic the account of the last of Prince Jlohenloes miracles;
namely, that wrought upon Mrs. Atattingley in America.—
The missionaries are priests who officiate in different chapels
in the neighbourhood, where there is no resident priest; and
are also ready to succeed or assist those who are at a greater
distance. The teachers have each the care of a particular
school, and are under the direction of one .who is called the
Superintendent of Studies ; the gentleman who at present. fills
this Office, published the account of the young lady who, at
Liverpool, some years since, pretended to read, distinguish
colours, describe the contents of carts passing in the street, acid
other rnervellouS feats, blind-folded. There are also what
are called Prefects, who have the superintendence of the scholars
at their studies, their sports, and in their walks. These, we pre-
sume, are only to be considered as a kind of superior servants.
The number of scholars is about 200; the greater part of
tifem are "Irish, but there are foreigners, we believe, and
many of them of the first distinction, rona every part of
the globe. The circumstances attending the situation of one
of theee. are 'not a little peculiar. The boy' is an Arme-
nian, consequently, we suppose, a member of the Greek
church, which, if we mistake not, differs considerably from
the Roman Catholic. His pension, or board, is paid by the
Pecha of Egypt, who is. of course a Mahometan. He is con-
signed to a Protestant gentleman in this town, Who, strange to
tell, sends him to be educated it the Roman Catholic establish-
ment at. StonYhurst.

A noted London ndon-Journal, some time since, promised to give
an accciunt'of the 'revenues of this society. This promise has
never been fulfilled : we-shall undertake to supply the calcula-
tion, whether we shall be able to do it accurately, we leave to
others to' determine.

Each scholar pays 501.' per annum. Two hundred, and (this
number has been sometimes considerably exceeded), produces
ten thousand pounds. Their real property may be valued at
40,0001.; including the gift of Mr. Weld, and what they have
themselvesespendedon thepurcbase of land, and the improve-

mate
ment and enlargement of the building. Their annual ree`l
may therefore not unfairly be stated at 12,0001, Their gains
t
must have been very considerable to enable them to lay (41,
iO,OOOl in about 20 years, and there is no reason to sit
sir
that they are at present at all below the general average. r`'" es
property must be accumulating, as all their additional bud hat„
have been completed several years, and nothing seems to b`„,
been carried on beyond the ordinary expences of the establise
ment ; yet they are soliciting subscriptions towards building
:la'
new chapel (asking for the contributions even of their surgecb,
and physician), to which they themselves magnanimously 5"

The proprietor of the domain, was of that persuasien, and the
stewards and agents whom he employed would no doubt be the
persons of the same faith. .The tenants of the farms were ion
discriminately Protestants and Catholics; and these ernf'°'ore
labourers of either religion. If their respective members
at all unequal, the preponderance was' on the side of the Prot c 0
ants. At the present time the Protestants are reduced 0" '

Of course,the " College," as it is called, gives emPlgMe of
in one way or other, to a great number of persons, and non
them are Protestants. We do not mean to say that the sectje
never takes Protestants into its service: there may have
times when they were to be found amongst its immediate
mestics. But we think we may venture to state, that ,e 1
never continued Protestants and its servants long. The
Into
observations will apply also to all the Catholics around. begoe
marriages between Catholic and Protestants families have " w
most numerous in the neighbourhood; and this we well kno.W.4.

Again, it may easily be supposed that an establishment ,1:114

two hundred and fifty, or three hundred people, the esele,
clothes of nearly' the same number (for they provide diel7he
lars with an uniform dress), must be either given away Or he
for very little; and it is the general understanding in the
'neighbourhood, that nobody must look for any thing ineoe,
former way of disposal, without, occasionally at least, gr'9"ol
ing at mass. Nor are such operations confined to their °t
immediate vicinity. Missions have been established at a gre4t,er distance, in places where, at the time, there was no plea 0,4
ever tbr their being necessary : and the season chosen for ;r,
purpose was one of the greatest public distress. The eon

sions which followed, some of which were only temporary, Wce,
confined entirely to the lower classes ; and their diselliied,
whether Catholics originally or by proselytism, have leo

Whether this will prove that the members of this society
not desirous of notoriety, or, in other words, of extendingl tat
influence, we may safely leave to the decision of the hute°
judgment.

In reply to the puffs industriously circulated by the oell we

LATEST FROM CURA.--SAVANNAH, JITLY 9.—We learn
by a passenger in the pilot-boat schooner Savannah, arrived
yesterday in eighty hours from Matanzas, that a serious dis-
turbance: among the negroes took place in the neighour-
hood of that place, about the 17th ult.; the number of the
revolters were about five hundred, who divided themselves
into parties from one hundred to fifty : they proceeded
to several plantations, and murdered thp head of the family.
In one instance a party of fifty entered a house of public enter-
tainment, anti murdered all its inmates, but they were sur-
prised and taken. Much alarm has existed in Matanzas, and
the volunteers have been ordered out, and were doing duty in
the city when our informant came away. The insurrection
was soon put down, and tranquillity restored. There were tin-
der arms about 1000 'men : the loss of ti:e rebels was about 100
killed, and 75 prisoners. The whites who had lost their lives
were about sixteen.

The Gazette of Saturday contains some dis-
patches from the Naval Commanders on the coast of Ava
which, though relating to events of a distant date, will be found
interesting in their details, as evety thing connected with the
bravery of our seamen must necessarily be. The dispatches cf
August 6th and 9th, 1824, relate to the capture of the stocicad -s
at Syriam and Dallah Creek. That of October 31 states the
occupation of Martaban. Those of the Bth December relate to
the affairs of Remmindine and Possendown ; and that of the
16th of DeceMber rocords the capture of 30 of the enemy's
war. boats in the Rangoon river. Besides these there is a short
notice of dispatches received in May, 1824, on the capture of
Cheduba.— The Gazette also contains the offer of his Majesty's
gracious pardon to any accomplices of the person who sent
anonymous threatening letters on the 26th of July and 10th
of August to Mr. C. Virawn. of South Shields. iTo this Mr.
Wrawn has added a reward of 304 to be paid on conviction.

SIR RICHARD BtaNzE.—We are sorry to oh.
serve such repeated and acrimonious cepSUres
against this zealous and able Magistrate. Grant-
ing that in a recent instance he has been some-
what too hasty in his treatment of a person who,
by all that appears, was entitled to mere re-
spect, an. who seems to have had nothing bat'
the assertion of just rights in view, we should
consider the general conduct of the Head of the
Bow-street Police, which has always been
marked by good sense, vigilance, discernment,
and firmness, in the discharge of an arduous duty.
We should consider also that he has often to
contend with flippant personS, who are brought
to his official bar, .or appear there as witnesses.
—Without impeaching the motives of Mr.
GAMBLE, or interfering in a question which
will probably be decided elsewhere, it must
be acknowledged that he repeated the ques-
tions of the Magistrates unnecessarily, he.
sitated much in giving plain answers to simple
questions,' and evidently was so little concilia-
tory in his! manner, that the Magistrate rn7ght
naturally be-irritated, and give way to a su Men
impulse which he otherwise would not have felt.
The watchman, indeed appears to have been
both officious and violent in dragging Mr. GAM-
BLE to the watch-house, when the women had
removed, and there was no appearance of dis-
order, and Mr. GAMBLE is to be commended
for resisting his " brief authority," and assert-
ing the rights of an Englishman-

Mr. SLATER, a Treasury Messenger, left town
on Thursday night for Bruss,ds, with official
papers and dispatches for the Earl of LIVERPOOL,
who is expected to visit that city in his excursion
on the Continent, for whicl► purpose the Noble
Earl left Walmer Castle some days ago.
BRUSSELS, AUG..lB.—Lord SIDMOUTH and the
Earl of LIVERPOOL passed through Ghent on the
15th and 16th on their way to the Hague.—His
Royal Highness the Duke of CAMBRIDGE, who
arrived here. the day before yesterday, set out
this morning for Spa, where it is said there is to

CANIBRAY, AUG. 16.—The Minister of War,
with some of his Aid-de-Camps, is expected in the Department
of the North at the beginning of next month. His mission is +o
inspect all the fortresses of the first and second lines, from Stras.
burg to Dunkirk, to examine the state of their fortifications,
their artillery and magazines. On the other hand, since the
cession of Philippeville and Marienburg to the Kingdom of the
Netherlands. this part of our fronCars being rather open, a
project was formed to convert Rocroi into a fortress of the se-
cond line, but circumstances have not yet permitted the Minis-
ters to dispose of the considerable sums which this new fortress
would require. It seems that the Minister of War is to examine
on the spot the plans presented, and to make a report to the
Government.
EXPEDITION To
.ArttrCA.—The sailing or the
azen, 28, Capt GEORGE WILLKs, with Captains CLAP-
PERTON and PEARCE, It. N. on their journey of discovery
into the interior of Africa, is delayed until about Thursday
next :—The native of Soudene whO bad engaged himself as a
guide to the lamented Belzoni, has been put on board the
13razen, with the same object. We understand the Brazen
will convey several fresh instructions to the new Commander-
in-Chief.on'the coast. An alteration is to be made in the ma-
nagement
of the manumitted slaves. They have hitherto been
paid for their labour by the day, by which mode an idle
fellow has received as much as an. industrious man, even
though the latter has also been a better artizari. They are in
future to be paid according to the quantity of work done or
labour performed, and they arc to be paid in specie, and not
to be paid by cheque, as at present, on a store, where, instead
of cash, they are obliged to take goods, frequently not of the
sort they require, and always at a dearer rate than what they
could obtain it elsewhere.-.:,lla7ipshire Telfg•rapit.)
CAPE OF GOOD WOPE.-- We have received a
letter from the Cape ei Good Hope, dated the Ist of June,
which states the ;:n•ival there in great distress. front want of
provisions, of th, French ship La Jame Ernest, W. NEAL,
+lststr, fromto

ber), bound

e
issued
.oi the 234 of April, by the Governor, Lord Charles
smereet, in explanation of the provisions of the 13th of March,
1393, relative to the slave population, and directed to be made
nu throughout the colony, by the local authorities, had
been aended with the most saluary effects. The property of
the proprietors, in their slaves, and their just claims to their
services, are not in any degree affected thereby, but the (-in-
duct of the masters towards their slaves is more nicely and hu-
manely regulated. -His Majesty's Commissioners of Inquiry
were proceeding on their inspection of the state of the Colonial
financial accounts, and which had been attended with disas-
trous results to one or two of the peculators yet discovered. A
fire had broke out at the house of Mr. Smith, at Cape Town,
which burnt it downloss was estimated at 40904 sterling.
