THE FETCHAM MURDERS.

The horror that was created in the neighbour-
hood of Leatherhead, in October, 1826, in conse-
quence of the barbarous murders of an old cottager
named John Akehurst, and of his housekeeper,
Elizabeth Haines, has within the last few days in a
great degree revived under circumstances which it is
hoped will lead to the development of that most
mysterious and inhuman piece of butchery. It was
announced in a Brighton Paper a few days ago, that
the party had been discovered who had committed
the murders. Upon making inquiries upon the spot
we find that no person is at present in custody
charged with the murders ; but the strongest sus-
picion exists agaiast certain parties who were taken
into custody on suspicion of committing the murders
soon after their perpetration. The murders were
committed on the night of the 12th of October,
1826, and were discovered by a young man, the
son of one Bennett, who lived in a cottage about
150 yards from Akehurst's, about half-past six
o'clock next morning. It was supposed that old Mr.
Akehurst had a considerable sum of money in his
possession at the time, he having stated several years
before to the Bennetts that he had 100 guineas
in the house, and that he had made his will, leav-
ing his property to his grand-daughter Mary Ayres.
At the time of the murder a man named Musk, a
nephew of Bennett's, lived in Bennett's cottage,
and though the murder was not discovered till half-
past six o'clock in the morning at Fetcham, this in-
dividual, Musk (who with Bennett had risen early
that morning and gone out from home), actually
gave information of the murder having been com-
mitted, at a village called Westbookham, several
miles from Fetcham, before the hour of six o'clock.
Shortly after the murders were committed, Gross-
rnith, an officer of Union•ball, who always suspected
Bennett and his nephew Musk had committed the
deed, took Bennett into custody, and used every
means in his power to apprehend Musk, but to this
hour the police have not been able to trace where
Musk has secluded himself. Bennett was dis-
charged, after being detained a short time, for want
of evidence. Shortly before the 12th of October
last, Bennett and his wife were taken ill of
fever, and whilst labouring under strong nervous
in itation and delirium, it was reported that one
of them had used some expressions which re-
vived in the minds of the neighbours those
suspicions which they had entertained against the
family of Bennett immediately after the murder.—
Dr. Baker, of Leatherhead, attended the Bennetts,
and found that they were labouring under great
mental as well as bodily disease. The Rev. Mr.
Bolland (the brother of Mr. Baron Bolland), the
Rector of Fetcham, visited the Bennetts, and being
a Magistrate he interrogated the parties. As the
matter has been taken up by other Magistrates, and
as the Union-hall officers are exerting themselves to
obtain further evidence, it would be improper to
say trit,re at present, especially as there is so strong
a feeling existing to the prejudice of the suspected
parties in the minds of the inhabitants of Leather-
head, Feltham, and the vicinity.
It will be recollected that Mary Ayres, the grand-
daughter of old Akehurst (who had cohabited with a
man called " Cobbler \Vili"), was in custody in
Horemonger-lane gaol for some time on suspicion
of being a participator in the murders, but there
was no evidence of her guilt, and the unfortunate
woman having been incarcerated in a damp dungeon,
she caught a severe cold, which put a period to her
existence soon after her liberation from prison,

THE REV. E. IRVING AND THE

UNKNOWN TONGUE.

In consequence of the strange scene which took
place at the Scotch Church, in Regent-square, on
Sunday se'nnight, an unusually numerous congrega-
tion assembled there on Sunday morning last,
in the expectation, no doubt, that similar proceed-
ings would again take place. In this, however, the
auditors were disappointed, as no tongue more re-
markable than that of the Rev. Mr. Irving himself
was heard. Twice, indeed, during the Rev. Gen-
tleman's prayer, the congregation were startled by a
voice which was understood to proceed from the
female endowed with the gift of tongues, but the
noise was unaccompanied by any attempt to articu-
late words or syllables, and appeared to be nothing
more than a kind of suppressed hysterical cry, Pre-
vious to the usual service of the morning, Mr.
Irving remarked that he had something to say on
vthat had occurred in that Church on a former oc-
cason ; and as this may be considered to be a kind
of confession of faith on the subject of the tongues,
the Mowing brief sketch may not be uninterest-
ing commenced by observing, that manifesta-
tions otthe Spirit in the gifts of prophecy arid of
tongueshad been the subject of historical record
during tie first three centuries, but from that pe-
riod, upto the present time, they had ceased to be
the subjct of historical record. It had, how-
ever, bee the opinion of himself and of others,
that tiles. manifestations might be renewed, and
accordingl3they had prayed the Lord to restore them,
and it had &last pleased him to do so. He had raised
up among to brethren persons who do so speak the
tongues amprophesies—men of God—holy persons
—whom IF(Mr. Irving) knew to be faithful in the
Mai here, alluding to pei sons who on last
Lord's day broke,silence, he warned his congrega-
tion, in order that, if such a thing occurred again,
they might know it was no brawling in the Church,
but the voice of the Spirit speaking in the tongues.
The communication of the Spirit on that occasion,
when interpreted, was, " Why will ye flee from the
voice of the Lord ? The Lord is with you ; if you
flee now, where will ye flee on the day of judgment ?"
" I say," proceeded Mr. Irving, " it is not -man that
did this ; it is the Great Head of the Church that
has thrust it upon us, and he now waits to see
whether we will receive it. Give me liberty to ex-
pound the word of the Lord; give not ear to the
opinion of the world ; and we shall indeed receive
the gifts of the holy Spirit. The tokens we have
already received (and to which I myself have been
a reverent listener for the last six months) afford
ample evidence of what we may expect." He had
already preached the approach of the Millenium ;
the day of judgment and the Lord's coming
were at hand ; and those persons who spoke
not from their own minds, but from the inspiration
of the Lord, were sent forth to announce the event
to mankind, and to bid them prepare. " I hope,".
said Mr. Irving, " that God will raise up many of
them : nay, lam sure he will." The Rev. Gentle-
man concluded by observing, that he had not broken
al), canon of the Church ; that he had merely stood
up in his place as a Minister to _advocate the truth:
and that lie was quite ready to deal with the
diili-
cultie• of any individual, in public or in private.
After these preliminary observations, Mr. Irving
proceeded with his sermon, taking his text from
Joel, c. " And it shall come to pass after-
wards, that r will pour out my Spirit oti all flesh,
and your sons and daughters shall prophesy ; your
old men shall dream dreams ; your young men shall
see visions." This prophesy, lie said, lied not been
fulfilled in our times, because we had not sought it;
and we had not sought it, because we had been
taught that it was a kind of blasphemy to seek it.
He then went on to illustrate the various points of
his doctrine ; but the explanation which we have
already given precludes the necessity of following
him through the whole of his sermon. In the
course of the morning, Mr. Irving stated that no
person with whose spiritual qualifications he was
not well acquainted, would be allowed to display
the gift of tongues before the congregation,.—Aforn-

(EXTRACT OF A PRIVATE LETTER.)
MADRID, Ot'T. 14.

The news of the unfortunate surrender of Warsaw to
the troops of the Northern Autocrat, and the horrible
massacres at Lisbon on the 10th and 24th ult., of the un-
happy victims of Miguel's blood-thirsty revenge, and the
daily expectation of others, has created a feeling of horror
and excitement in the breast of every lover of liberty
which cannot he described, to think that such a monster
exists. We were in the greatest consternation—the ex-
ultation of the Apostolics was beyond measure ; one
would have imagined, from the outward delight they
evinced, that they had gained a glorious victory. It was
the general conversation on the Prado and in the cafés ;
the police were on the alert, and several arrests have taken
place, both here and in other parts. Madrid presents the
most dreary appearance ; Ministers seem frightened out
of their lives since the peremptory declaration of the French
Ambassador, that should Don Pedro make an attempt to
restore the usurped Crown of Portugal to the legitimate
young Queen, Donna Maria, and Spain pretend to inter-
fere in any way by supporting the despot, that moment is
war declared by France against us. The Austrian Am-
bassador, however, endeavours, if he can, to make 'Mi-
nisters believe that France and England are so allied to
their non-intervention system, and so desirous to maintain
peace at any price, that should Ferdinand interpose on be-
h elf of his beloved nephew, they would look upon it in the
same callous manner as they did the sacrificing of the
brave and heroic Poles to the tyranny of Russia, and that
by so doing he would gain the favour of the Holy Alliance.
The merciless tiger, no doubt, does in his heart wish to
become one of their holy fraternity, but he is afaid
the Austrian missionary is playing the part of Ju-
das—to tempt, and then deceive. The present state
of the finances is most deplorable, the royal coffers
are nearly empty—distress reigns throughout the coun-
try, and the Minister tries every stratagem to keep rap
his credit, and provide for the extravagances of his Royal
Master. As to honour any foreign loans, he considers a
national debt of that description a mere farce, and will pay
it when the Virgin Mary may think proper to render us
wore prosperous. Such are the expressions adopted in
that part of the Budget for this year. What is certain is
that Ferdinand begins to feel that he is not so firm upon
the throne as his flattering courtiers wish to make him
believe, and the continual solicitations of his nephew
from Lisbon to assist him by force of arms, in case of an
attack, creates the greatest anxiety to him, as the proud
and ambitious Princess de Beira does all in her power to
induce him to support the usurper ; but he knows too well
that our army is in that wretched and deplorable state, and
ia arrears of pay, that he could not rely upon it. How-
ever, a force of fifteen to twenty thousand men is being
concentrated on the frontiers,as on cuerpo de observacion,
it being the interest of one tyrant to support that of another,
and no doubt he will to his utmost. Should an expedi-
tion, well equipped, and having good officers, make a de •
,cent on the coast of Portugal, and march on to Lisbon
and proclaim the young Queen and the Constitution, the
tyrant worrld be overthrown, and be obliged to seek re-
fuge here in the Escurial, or some other Palace, where he
might assist his ingenious uncle in making embroidered
petticoats for the Virgin Mary. Now is the time for Don
Pedro to strike or never, and restore his daughter's
rights, as the feeling against him in Portugal is at its
highest crisis, and none but the Priests and a set of mer-
cenary wretches inahis pay (principally liberated felons and
the dregs of the people) are his supporters, notwithstand-
ing the fine reports of his trumpeter the Gaceta de
Lisboa, as all the respectable part of society execrate the
monster ; but a still tongue is often a wise head, for his
locusts infest the whole of Lisbon ; the least word uttered
s treason, anti away to a dungeon where thousands are
now lingering ; but this dreadful reign of terror cannot
last long—el tiempe rendra—when liberty must triumph.
Orders have been issued by our Government, to the dif-
ferent Captain-Generals, immediately to increase the army
by 20 to 30,000 men, and proceed towards the frontiers,
'is Ferdinand dreads, that should an expedition succeed in
Portugal, a reaction will take place in Spain in favour of
a liberal Constitution, and free institutions. He well
knows that the brave and patriotic Mina is watching the
favourable opportunity to restore to Spain those liberties
that be so valiantly fought for during the Peninsula war,
which placed him on his throne, and which he so basely
recompensed by executing the heroic Riego, and driving
into exile a man who was the main cause of establishing
bins on a throne that he has blackened and degraded, and
which he has proved himself totally unworthy of; but
his vile promises gave trome hope that a monarch could
not be so base as to break such holy engagements. The
result, however, was the inquisition, executions, and
banishment, as soon as he was restored, until the revolu-
tion drove the tyrant to concede to the formation of a
Cortes. The revolution of 1822 must have proved to the
despot what the men were whom he had so persecuted, and
had it not been fir the generous Mina, his head would
have been of long before he left Madrid or Seville for
Cadiz, when it was discovered what a treacherous monstar
he was, and the intrigues he was carrying on with the
fallen Bourbon dynasty of France, and the entry of the
French troops under the command of the Duke of Angou-
leme into Spain, in 1823, to support his despotic deeds.
How did the Conetitutionalists act towards him after all this;
did they imprison bins ? did they make him undergo any
aofferings ? No, they treated him as a sovereign, when he
teas io their power at Cadiz, allowed to fly his kite at the
top of the Custom-house, and make as many petticoats
for the Virgin Nary as her ladyship might wish to put on
in the course of a year; but what was the reward they
met with ? He took as oath to grant a Constitution and
a free pardon to all those who might have taken a part in
the revolution, if they would allow him to leave Cadiz
They believed him, but as soon as he arrived on the op-
posite aide of the Bay, at Puerto Santa Maria, he entered
into a treaty with the Duke of Angouleme, (the hero of
the Trocadero) rion-fulfilling all he solemnly promised,
Cadiz was given up to the French, and executions, im-
prisontnents, and exile weleemed his return to Madrid.
Such is the tyrant we have now upeo the throne, and who
is daily having victims immolated to his revenge. Let
not those party jealousies exist amongst true pats;cts,—be
united in the same noble cause, and let no mercenary am-
bition frustrate their valiant endeavours. What
was it that caused the unsuccessful attempt of the brave
Mina in 1830, to restore freedom to Spain c shortly after
the glorious revolution in France, which made Feadinand
to tremble ? It was the jealousy of Valdez and others, who
wished to become supreme chiefs themselves, for which they
were ill-qualified, that created a disunion among the troops
and a party feeling, the result was a defeat, whieh the French
authorities took advantage of as soon as they re-passed the
frontiers, by disarming them and dispersing them in the
different departments, instead of which had they sacrificed a
little amour-propre, success would have crowned their
noble endeavours with such a leader at their head.

Mina is a man ;Ow will ever reward deserving merit,be
it in the soldier, or in the officer, but a chief there must
be,—then Spaniards and patriots the time is near approach-
ing when your arms will again be called for, in the defence
of your tyrannised country, be united and firm, confide in
a tried and brave soldier who has the interest of his coun-
try at hear, and your patriotic erections will be crowned
with success, for liberty must ultimately triumph over des-
potism, from the arctic to the antarctic point of the globe,
then nil desperundunz. T. S.

P. S.—A pretended amnesty has been decreed ; let my
brave fellow-countryinett beware of the treacherous snare that
i. laid for them, it is only a deiu‘ion, for Ferdinand never
will pardon—every thing that is lifieral creates horror to
him. He exee.“tes in his heart the present Government of
France, and is privaiely encouraging the foolish attempta of
the fallen dynasty, by allowing the partizans of the Ex-
King Charles X. to form themselves ozi this side our fron-
ties, and the priests hare declared that in cas2 invasion

PRACTICES QF THE PETTY STATES
OF GERMANY TO PREVENT, THE
PROGRESS OF REFORM.
(BY AN EYE-WITNESS.)
No sooner was the Revolution of July accomplished,
tha❑ the inhabitants of the small city of Mannheim, in the
Grand Duchy of Baden, began to evince their sympathy
by rising in a body and breaking the windows of those
persons known to have been the opposers of their liberties
during the reign of the late Grand Duke Lewis.
Among the rest who suffered by such proceedings was
the Jew banker Ladenburg ; he had been known to have
furnished largely to Lewis at an enormous interest, the
payment of which sums was generally accomplished by ad-
ditional taxation on salt and other productions, sold by the
Government to the subjects of Baden. Of course he was
not spared, and the windows of his house the next morn-
ing presented the same appearance as those do in the Duke
of Wellington's house, at Hyde Park-corner. The
consternation of the police can hardly be described :
declaration followed declaration, and the D rector
of the town (M. Wundt) was every night, during a
whole week, obliged to occupy the guard-house for
the purpose of receiving and committing prisoners, and
such was their number that i❑ a small town of 15,000
souls the prisons were so crowded that four and five persons
were compelled to sleep in one bed. Notwithstanding these
rigourous proceedings the cries of "es lebe der freihe it !"
(Long live liberty I) still continued, and nothing but the
presence of the Grand Duke Leopold, and the promises
made in his name, could restore public order. The pri-
soners, that is thosebelonging to Mannheim, were liberated
until judgment should be pronounced against them, and
the only victims of this popular movement were a few
pour mechanics, whose sole crime was that of having the
misfortune of being employed in the town during the
troubles. These for the most part were journeymen car-
penters, bricklayers, smiths, &c. ; retaining these poor men
made the object of the police visible to every body, for by
so doing they wished, and did in a manner make it appear
that the disturbances were only caused by a few stran-
gers, no doubt urged to that purpose by some dis-
contented persons indebted to the Jews, and endeavour-
ing to cancel their obligations by destroying their cre-
ditors. Folks laughed and shrugged their shoulders at
this statement, well knowing it not to be the case.
In the meantime the poor innocent fellows, thus arrested
and imprisoned, were treated with the greatest inhumanity.
No one was allowed to visit them in their dungeons, not
even a solicitor, and after a long and cruel incarceration of
nearly four months, their judgment was declared to them,
(fur they never appeared to defend themselves, nor had
they a Counsel,) when two or three were sentenced to two
months', and the others to one month's imprisonment.
One of the employers of these ill-treated young men de-
clared to me, that two of them bad never left the house
where they resided during the whole time of the disturb-
ances, but that he dared not declare it to the bailiff, be-
cause two of the police had sworn to their identity, as
having observed them in the mob throwing stones at the
windows in Ladenburg's (the Jew banker's) house : and
that should he declare to the contrary, he should only get
himself into prison for his pains, and perhaps be con-
demned, as a liar, to be bastinadoed. Yet, notwith-
standing these rigorous and despotic measure.; to stifle the
cry for Reform and a Constitution, the Grand Duke wisely
enough thought proper to grant greater liberty than before to
the press, which in every country is considered with just
reason to be the bulwark of the public rights and liberties,
for to date from those riots the Carlsruher Zeitung as-
sumed a more important and interesting character. The
editor, although devoted to the Court, was obliged to give
insertion to articles, which, three months before, would
have been considered downright treason. Carlsruhe, the
capital, was not less agitated, and the Director of the
Police, in order to quell the movement, commanded the
soldiers to make a charge against the assembled populace.
The dragoons, however, instead of obeying the order,
put spurs to their horses, and charged home to their bar-
racks, leaving the Director to fight his way as well as he
could. However, the good-natured inhabitants contented
themselves with dragging him from his horse, rolling him
in the dirt, divesting him of his sign of dignity (a cocked
hat), and dismissing him d'entbli!e from his place to invest
another with both th it and his office, which strange pro-
ceeding the Grand Duke thought proper to sanction by a
Royal ordonnance. I cannot omit giving you an account
of one of the examinations of a man arrested at Mann-
heim during the disturbances. I had it from his own
mouth after his liberation. It will serve to show how
necessary Reform is in a country where even the rights of
men are trampled under foot :

EXAMINATION.

Bailiff—What is your name? Prisoner—Frank
Halbert.

Where do you come from ?—Rostock, in the Duchy of
Nleeklenburgh-Schwerin.
What are you by trade ?—A journeyman carpenter.
How long have you been in Mannheim ?—Fiftee■
months.

In whose employtneut are you ?—ln M.
What do you earn weekly ?—Four florins.
Where were you the first, second, and third evenings of
the riots ?—ln my own house.
That is false, you were foremost among those busy
breaking the windows in Landenburg'e house, why did you
do that ?—I declare before God I was in bed and asleep
while that was going forward, as my master can certify.
Take care what you say—l know to the contrary ;
and if you persist in denying the truth, you will subject
yourself to the bastinado to bring it out of you, therefore
I caution you to confess all, it is the only way to abridge
your captivity, for this obstinacy will do you no good;
besides, we have witnesses who declare to have seen you
there; you know yourself they were sworn before you ?
Yes, Sir, but I do not know what they said, because
during their deposition I was led from the room, but only
let me be confronted with them and I will be bound to
make them out liars.—That will not be allowed.

But cannot I have permission to see my wife, because
she will he able to bring forward witnesses to prove my
innocence ?—No.

My master then 2—No.
But you will certainly let me write to them or see a
solicitor 2—Neither.

How, then, will it be possible for me to prove my inno-
cence if I am deprived of the means of doing it?---ms's ist
ihrer sache—that is your concern.
The unfortunate man was reconducted to his dungeon,
where he remained four months without seeing wife or
friend, and obliged to put up with the unwholesome food
distributed to the prisoners, no food from his own house
being allowed to enter the prison. So much for the laws
of a country where despotism reigns.

a savage!

As it is deemed indispensably necessary, that
there should be a general, and as great 41 cleansing of the
metropolis as possible, as a precaution against rt visit of the
cholera morbus, the parish officers and others should make
a report of the state of the different parishes, and those
places particularly where the typhus fever prevailed during
the sumhaer, These low lodging-houses, where mendicants
and vagrants, covered with filth, are huddled together in
such numbers, that they are scarcely ,Ible to move, are the
nurseries of disease, and are alone sufficient to breed a pes-
tilence. Attention should also be directed to all those quar-
ters where the Jews principally reside, as being filthy in the
extreme, for it is well known that in the ravages of the
cholera on the Continent, it first settled in places inhabited
by Jews, and others, who paid no attention to cleanliness.
We regret to find that the diabolical crime of
incendiarism has recently been perpetrated in this neigh-
boorbood. On Saturday night last, two cow-she:4s, the
property of Mr. EDWARD BARNES, of Tirley, were wil-
fully set on fire anal completely destroyed. It was only by
dint of great exertions that other properly adjoining was
saved from the same fate. A reward of 50/. has been of-
fered for the apprehension and conviction of the wicked
perpetrators, and we sincereiy hope they may meet with
that condign punishment which they so richly deserve.--

WARSAW, OCT. 18.—His Majesty the Emperor and
King has appointed General Rautenstrauch to he a Mein-
her of the Provisional Government of the kingdom of
Poland.

Generals Prince Gallitzin, Suchozanet, Techitecherin,
Lewandowski, and Kryffzoff have arrived in this capital.
Baron Morenheim has returned from Cracow.

Of the Polish army Generals Zoltowsky, Kolaczkowski,
and Muhlberg have arrived here. The Russian General*
and officers of different ranks, who were in Wohlberg,
Czintochan, and afterwards in Miechow have all returned
to their regiments.
It is said that the funds belonging to the bank of Po-
land, which were carried away from Warsaw on the 7th
ult., will be brought back nearly entire.

There remain 173.

For some days past the disorder has been increasing,
there having been 156 new cases in five days, so that
though there have been 36 recoveries and 92 deaths at the
same time, the number remaining is increased by 28.

VIENNA, OCT. B.—ln consequence of the occupation
of Cracow by the Russian troops, negociatiens are on fent
which have led to a frequent exchange of couriers with
Warsaw. Some mercantile houses say they have news
that Field-Marshal Paskewitsch, besides the title of
Prince, is to have for life the great estate of
Pulawy, belonging to Prince Ceartoryski. This
news certainly needs confirmation. Those who are
acquainted with the generous moderation of the
Emperor Nicholas, who promised entire pardon to the pri-
soners implicated in the Polish revolution, will not think
it likely that the penalty of confiscation will be applied
against Prince Czartoryski to the injury of his unfortunate
heirs. Undoubtedly, Field-Marshal Paskewitsch may ex-
pect some recompence besides his elevation to the rank of
Prince, which requires an expenditure toiallich his actual
fortune is inadequate. But the Russian Crown has means
enough to reward his great services without violating Po-
lish private property.
The weather here is very fine and heathy, which gives
us hopes that the cholera will disappear in a few weeks, as
it seems to be already much milder.
It is expected that the Emperor will leave Schonbrunn
about the middle of this month, and return to the Palace
in the city.
The accounts from Greece are more favourable for Capo
d'lstria: he is powerfully supported in the suppression of
the insurrection by the three Admirals of the Allied
Powers, and the leader of the revolt will probably be soon
given up to justice, to be punished according to the laws.
Great as were the services of Miaulis during the war of
independence, he is now highly criminal, and has lost all
claim to the gratitude of his country, by the scandalous
destruction of the Greek fleet, being the greatest injury he
could have done to the rising state. It is probable he will
be wholly excluded from pardon, even should such ene-
mies of the President, as Mavrocordato and others, be
treated with clemency,

FRANKFORT, OCT 17.—The cholera, ascending the
Danube, has already reached Wels.

MEDITERRANEAN.

We have another very quick arrival from the Medi-
terranean to-day by the Hermes steam-packet, which
left Malta on the 6th inst., and Gibraltar on the 15th.
The news of the cholera having broken out in Alexan-
dria had occasioned great alarm at Malta, and the strictest
precautions were immediately adopted by the Board of
Health. No vessel coming from places where the disease
existed, or having on board any person affected with it.
are to be admitted in any port of the British possessions in
that neighbourhood. The last news from Alexandria was
of the 25th, being four days later than the date of the
'etters which brought the intelligence of the cholera hav-
ing reached that place. The disease was not at that pe-
riod making the rapid progress which had been antici-
pated. The Medical Gazette of the sth instant states,
that by official advices from Tunis of the 17th of Sep-
tember, a vessel had arrived off Sfax in 24 days from
Alexandria, having on board 90 passengers (late pilgrims
to Mecca), of whom four died of the cholera during the
voyage. Na communication was suffered Nbe held with
this vessel, although 25 of the passengers were natives of
Sfax, and she was ordered to Leghorn by the Bey of Tunis.

Sir Robert Gordon, late British Ambassador at Con-
stantinople, arrived at Malta on 19th of September, in
his Majesty's ship Actwon, and sailed again on the 23d in
the same frig ite for England. The 85th Regiment is or-
dered home from Malta, in his Majesty's ships Kent and
Madagascar.

The papers received from Gibraltar by the Hermes
mention the arrival there of the new Lieutenant-Governor,
Sir Wm. Houstoun, and contain a copy of the compli-
mentary address presented to him on that occasion by the
members of the Exchange Committee of Gibraltar.
The Hermes touched at Cadiz on her way home, and
has brought from thence letters of the 16th instant.
Another Royal decree had been promulgated about the
freedom of the port of Cadiz, respecting which the Go-
vernment has adopted several contradictory decisions since
the time when that freedom had been first granted. It
now appears by the decree above alluded to, that the free •
dom of the port of Cadiz is to continue only for one year
longer, and is to cease on the 18th of September, 1832.
Gibraltar is therefore likely to regain the advantages it
lost when Cadiz was first declared a free port.
