BOW-STREET—(Tams DATA

ASSAULT.—A very respectable Gentleman was
brought tip from St. Clement's Watch-house,
charged with causing a disturbance at the coffee-
,shop of Mr; Copplestone, in Wych-street, and
also with assaulting one John Gulley ; who de-
posed, that ho was nephew to Mr. Copplestone,
and about half-past nine o'clock in the evening
the above Gentleman came to his uncle's house,
and attempted, by violence, to force his way in,
but was told it was too lute, and he could not
have any thing; the Gentleman, however, persist-
ed to gain admittance, and knocked loudly nt the
door, witness then pushed him off the steps ; the
defendant instantly canght him by the collar,
dragged hint into tho street, and tore his shirt
and clothes nearly froqt his back. Witness con-
sequently gave the defenchnt in charge of a
watchman.----The Centlematt, in his defence,
said, ho was in the habit of calling at the coffee-
shop on his going and returning from the City,
had walked a long distance in the wet, and
merely went there for a little refreshment, which
was refused him, and the affray ensued ; the
complainant was the first aggressor.—The MAGI-
MUTE said there was more violence used on the
part of the Gentleman than requisite, and or•
dered him to tied bail.

and Dr. JOHNsos, it appears, has also had his

for his literary attainments, went to Italy in the
autumn of lS'2l for the benefit of his health, and
residing for a considerable period with Loni.

the daily habit of noting down his conversations
fur his own amusement, and as curious mattcr

the various communications were made to him
without any injunctions to secrecy, they would

ExTaAonntsrAav ENOMENOM.--WO gave au
account ofa phenomenon of a very extraordinary nature which
occurred on Thursday last at Crowhill, Haworth, near Keigh.
ley in Yorkshire. By some the convulsion is thought to have
been caused by an earthquake, but it seems rather to have been
merely the bursting of an immense bog—accelerattal, in all pro-
bability, by the great quantity of rain which has recently fallen
in the neighbourhood. For a considerable distance room).
the .pot where the phenomenon it said to have occurred, the
land is a large swamp, in which the water has been accumu-
lating for centuries. The first intimation which the inhabitants
of Leeds received of tide very singular eruption, was from the
appearance of the river Aire which on Friday morning was dis-
covered to be unusually ctrbid, and swollen considerably beyond
its usual bounds. On Saturday anti Sunday mornings quanti.
ties of fish were seen floating dead on the surface of the water.
At llorsforth, about six miles from Leeds, no less than :200
stone of trout and perch were taken out of the river, evidently
poisoned, or rather suffocated by the Stygian streams that
blended with their native element. The Aire still continue*
lAA turbid us it was on Friday, and totally useless is the water
fur all domestic purposes. It is still of a deep chocolate colour,
the water of which, after filtration, yields a black subtle
ilium, with a strung smell resembling that of peat or bog earth.
The principal part of the deposit was, of course, made near,:r
the spot where the eruption took place.

CAUTION 10 11 ACIENIVir COACIIMEN.--Tho,

day summoned before die Commissioners (on the complaint of

lOAIING TO 110M2 ruitrosx.—A scotlndret
has for some days past been levying contributions on many un-
suspecting tradesmen in this city. Having the dress and appear.
ance of a countryman, he calls at the shops of different trades-
mem, stating that he has been sent from the country to require
the attendance of the tradesman upon a lady or gentleman, to
receive considerable orders in his particular line of busi.
ness. The bait having taken, he modestly hints at a trifle
to purchase some refreshments, he having walked many miles
to bring the message. Nothing can appear more reasonable ;
and the honest man receives from one shilling to half a crown
for his trouble. The next day the happy tradesman hires it
horse or gig, and rides from ten to twenty miles, full of
anticipations of the profits of his job ; when, to his extreme
mortification, he either finds there is no such person as the
one he is In search of, or that no summons has been issued fur
his attendance ! In this manner has this rascal sent builders,
carpenters, marble-masons, tailors, boonnakers, brushmakers,
&c., &c.,
_on fruitless and vexatious journeys. On Monday
evening he renewed his nefarious attempt at the house of Mr.
Viner, junior, carpenter, when Mr, Viner instantly took him
into custody, and he underwent an examination at our Guild-
hall on Tuesday morning, when a host of indignant witnesses
appeared against him. The Mayor committed him as a rogue

DAILY
Factracts from Me Morning Piers, Sept. 1

[MORNING CHRONICLE.]
The letters conveyed by the Lady Araheila,
from Mexico, *ere delivered yesterday at the
Post °Mee, and the following most important
intelligence is extracted from one of them, dated
in Alvarado on the 13th July :-
-" The affairs of, Guadalaxara are now completely settled.
General Bravo has entered- the capital, and has been received ,
with great rejoicings. The rebels retreated to epic, where
they were completely routed, 09 men killed, and all the officers
Made prisoners. They were to be immediately tried by a Court.
Martial. The soldiers nude prisoners were pardoned by the
General Bravo. General •Bustamente and general Quintana,
the instigators of all these disturbances, have been sent pri.
soners to ,Mexico, to stand their trial. Among the prisoners
taken at Teple is a Baron Rosenberg, a German, who, no
doubt, will be shot, having been formerly pardoned for his
treason, and sent out of the country. The whole of the Fede.
ration may now be said to be tranquil, with the exception of
the province of Yucatan, where General Santana was lately
sent as Governor. He is now gone to Merida, the capital,
which city is desirous to continue trading with the Havannah.
4 vessel, the Analmac is daily expected from Campeachy
with three Commissioners, to proceed up to Mexico on this
subject. The Governor of Tabasco has been sent prisoner to
Mexico by the troops, as he wanted to raise a party in favour,
of the Emperor lturbide. This was done without the least
disorder," &c. &c.
This letter is important, because it supplies a
blank in the official dispatches of General Bravo,
for it was impossible to understand, on reading
them, whether General Bustamente and General
Quintana, the great leaders of the faction of
Gen. Iturbide, had been made prisoners or not.
This doubt is now cleared up. The information
communicated by this letter is also farther im-
portant, in us far us it proves the fidelity of the
troops to the existing order of affairs in Mexico,
by the arrest of the Governor of Tabasco, an-
other of Iturbide's partisans. The following is
an extract of a letter received this morning at
Lloyd's from their agent at Vera Cruz. It is
dated on the 29th of June. After relating the
loss of the British merchant ship the jam., Capt.
Leitch, the agent proceeds to state—" Captain
'Leitch 'being obliged to abandon the Jane, he
went on board his Majesty's ship, the Forte, at
anchor off Sacrificios, for assistance, but Lieut.
King, the Commanding Officer, in the absence of
Sir Thomas Cochrane, who had gone to the City
of Mexico, refused to render any. Captain
'Leitch then came on shore, and was in-
formed that .the ship Tiger, Duke, had also
-struck, but got o(} apparently without damage,
Captain-Duke, being however afraid to come in
without a pilot. This circumstance was also
communicated to Lieut. King, to ho took no no-
;tice whatever of it. No regular .pilots being to
•be had, General !Uncoil very kindly gave an or-
der to the Commander of the. Port of Mocambo
to provide one, but the Tiger being still at a dis.
'lance of about three leagues, he could not get on
board without the assistance of a launch, which
was not to be had on shore. I, therefore, along
with the pilot, went in a' canoe on board the
Forte, requesting him merely to have him put nn
board the Tiger, but this was also very uncivilly
refused by Lieut. King. This valuable ship was
consequently obliged to come in without the assis

.ance. of a pilot.'l7::Now it. would hea curious ques.
lion to put to Lieut. King, why the British
frigate, the Forte, of forty-six guns, and three
hundred men, was, lying idle ut the island
of Sacrificios. Was is for the pleasure of the
• officers and crow, or was it for the protection of
commerce, without which neither the Forte
-would he afloat, nor would Lieut. King receive
his pay ? It is the paramount duty of the Lords,
• of the Adt»iralty to investigate this apparent,
veLoect Of duty on the part of the Officer in
command of his Majesty's ship the Forte, at the
period alluded
,to in this letter ; for although
• their Lordships cannot be expected to make
Centlemen, still they have the power to compel
the Officers of the Navy to perform correctly
their duty. A small exertion on the part of the
Forte might perhaps have saved a part or the
soliole of the cargo of the Jane; and a boat's
crew would have safely brought the Tiger into
harbour, by the want of which she was ex-
posed to considerable danger.

TIM IiS.J
. Letters have been received from Pernambuco
dated the 24th of July, which state, that on the
17th an action took place in Alagoas between the
Imperial troops under Morgado, and those of
. Carvell)°, the President, whose object it is to
establish a Republican form of Government.—
The latter was defeated with considerable loss :
La consequence of which it was expected the
Republican party would be put down, as the
population of Abe interior were in general well
• affected to the Emperor. It was supposed to be
• Carvalho's design to fly to Europe, as he bed
caused three ships to be freighted with a valuable
cargo Of Brazil wood, of which, with other pro.
pasty, he had become possessed in the course of
his administration. The troops of Morgado, after
their success, were on the march for Pernambuco,
which they were expected to enter immediately.
These letters also contain advices from Rio de
Janeiro of the 3d, and from Bahia of the 1 7th of
July. At the former place intelligence had been
received .of the disturbances at Lisbon, which
obliged the Kieg of Portugal to take refuge on,
board of the Windsor CaStle. All alarm 07 an
invasion from Portugal had therefore sulislded.
The Sandwich packet had arrived from E4und.
At Bahia, on the 17th, tranquillity continued to
prevail, and confidence was reviving. The Im-
perial corvette Maria do Gloria had sailed from
Kilda, to capture the brig of war which Car-
vane, had sent down from Pernambuco to
blockade Macaio.

noon, that the King of France's health was worse

The resistance of the Slave Owners in Trini-
dad to the benevolent views of his His Majesty's
Government, appears daily in a variety of shapes.
Among others we may notice the following cu-
rious proposal in a Trinidad paper of July last,
for the sale of an estate consisting of 160 acres,
25 slaves, trees, Stc.—" An appraisement to be
made by personal chosen by the vendor and pur-
chaser, which valuation to be made at what the
same would have been deemed a fair price, pre-
vious to the experimental measures which have
been pursued with regard to Trinidad since the
Spring of 1823, and from which appraisement a
deduction will be made of one full half of the
estimation."--A letter from Trinidad, dated July
27) says—" The Order in Council has been a
month in force here, but its effects cannot yet be
ascertained ; time only will disclose them. In
the mean time many individual complaints have
been-made by slaves, but only one inAtance of a

[MORNING POST.)

An arrival from Gibraltar brought us yester.
day two Bulletins issued by the Constitutional
Chief, Valdez, during the time that he and his
little band held possession of Tarifa. They con-
firm the suspicions which we entertained when

the first accounts of O'Donnell reached us, that
both the French and the Royalists had been re-
pulsed with loss in several attempts to retake
that city. O'Donnell, without fairly owning
that there had been an action, awkwardly be-
trayed it, and that he had been defeated too, by
declaring that he would have carried the place on
the 9th if be had had battering cannon. But from
the courage displayed by the besieged, it is
doubtful whether the arrival of battering cannon,
and of all the force of the French in the vicinity,
would have yet succeeded in reducing Tarifa, if
the Constitutionalists had not been completely
blockaded by land and sea, and therefore un-
able to recruit their numbers. These, which
were small at the beginning, grew less and less,
even with the successes which they gained, till
at last they proved insufficient to guard the
breaches made in various parts of the town
walls, and the gallant heroes were overpowered
by the mass of their opponents. Valdes, it will
be seen, took the title of Commander-in-Chief
of the First Liberating Army, and called upon
the people to join him, not in the name of the
Constitution, but in that of the Country, not to
restore a particular system, but to rid the land
of its invaders. It is unnecessary to add, that
he was among the first shot by O'Donnel. 1l is
enterprise bud produced much agitation in the
interior, it remains to be seen whether his death
will allay that agitation, or hasten the crisis
which appears inevitable in the Peninsula.

DIRITISU PRESS.]

It Is confidently said the new Neapolitan Loan
for two millions and a half is to be applied to the
, use and benefit of Ferdinand of Spilt. If this
ho the fact, we shall soon hear of preparations
for the reconquest of the Spanish Colonies. But
though the fraud may have prospered so far,
we very much doubt that it will succeed to
the extent of the hopes of its projectors. The
same reasons that have prevented the negocia.
tion of a Loan with the dishonest and bankrupt
Government of Spain directly, will also prevent
the sale of Neapolitan Scrip, intended to aid
that Government indirectly. The Stock Exchange
will indignantly scout the transaction, and Fer-
dinand will he taught, that whatever may be the
low cunning and deep trickery of his agents, the
monied interest of England are not so silly and
shortsighted as to be rendered the dupes of his
barefaced and shallow artifices. Already the
eminent firm of Messrs. Rothschild, whose names
have been impudently mentioned as the contrac-
tors of this loan, have disclaimed all connectiou
with it. Indeed, the high honour which distin-
guishes the proceedings of that house forbade
the suspicion that they could have descended to
share in so vile arid miserable a contrivance ;
but they have very properly not thought it be-
neath them, considering the importance of the
occasion, to give an unqualified contradiction to

the statements which have been circulated
respecting their participation in this Bourbon
fraud. The creditors of the Spanish Govern-
ment are much indebted to these gentle-
men for their conduct, and we have no
doubt that the example they have set will be
followed by every person of respectability con-
nected with the English Money Market. Ferdi-
nand of Spain must be honest towards his old
creditors before he can hope to coutract new
debts. John Bull is not quite so easily cheated
oat of his cash as some roguish wiseacres suppose.
If he is snore often cheated than other people, it
is because he has more to spare ; but he is slots()
weak as to be cheated twice by the same party.
'l`l►l. new edition of the Poyais bubble will fall
dead-born, and the new Neapolitan loan will be
booted down us soon as, if ever, it snakes its ap-
pearance on the Stock Exchange.

A letter from Brussels, dated Sept. 7, says—
" The Prince and Princess of Orange have been
here for some days. They leave this place to-
morrow fur St. Petersburgh, where her Royal

There was another child, but it died. Five
