The POPE died on the 9.Oth instant.

The following are extracts from the Paris
Papers received by our Express:—

( _Prom the Pilote of yesterday.)

The course of Exchange and the Rentes have
lowered about 30 cents ; but we do not know
the cause. This slight fall may be attributed to
the reports generally spread about, that a sortie
has been made from Cadiz with the whole force
of the garrison, and that there has been an affair
in the neighbourhood of Madrid.

REPORT FROM MARSHAL DUKE OF REGGIO TO TUE

MINISTER OF WAR.

MADRID, AUG. QO.
" Lieutenant-General Count Bourck renders
Ine an account, of the 13th, of his operations
against Corunna, by a letter to the following

purport :
In the night of the 10th and 11th the gar-
rison of Corunna fired briskly on our troops, but
fortunately did not do us much harm. Several
houses were damaged near our head-quarters.
The magazine of tobacco caught fire, but was
soon extinguished. About eight o'clock in the
morning a white flag was seen hoisted on the co-
vered way, and a flag of truce came out to us,
offering peace, but at the same time exhibiting
high pretensions ; but I must confess they have
doue their duty, and submitted to Ferdinand the
Vllth. They wished to put themselves under
the protection of the Duke d'Angouleme ; but
they would not hear a word about the Regency
of Madrid. They wished to await in that situa-
tion the issue of the affair of Cadiz and the or-
ders of the King of Spain.
The whole of the day, (yesterday), was
taken up in parleying (pour porters). I sent
them, as my Ultimatum, that I would enter
Corunna either as friend or enemy.
Sir o'Clock at night.—A person invested
with power has this moment arrived, after having
had a conference in the town ; and I am persuaded
that the garrison of Corunna will put themselves
under the orders of Gem Moritlo. Two Officers of
the garrison have been sent to that General, to
inform him of what has been agreed upon. Until
their return there will be a suspension of hostili-
ties, which may last four or five days, owing to
the distance of Count Carthagena.'
" The Captain General of Old Castile (Charles
O'Donnel) also sends accounts from Salamanca,
of the 16th of this month, that two squadrons of
the Regiment of the Queen arrived on the, 13th
in the environs of Zamora ; that thoy had joined
his troops, and had recognized the Regency.—
This reinforcement of cavalry will be of great

service in Estremndura.
'I (Signed) Marshal Duke du REGGIO."
" P. S. I hope, at the moment I am writing to
your Excellency, that the capitulation of Corunna
is settled. I have given orders to Gen. Bourck,
that the moment lie takes possession of Corunna,
lie will leave a regiment there, and proceed with
his main force to Astorga, and send the brigade
of Larochejaquelin to Estremadura, where the
Constitutionalists have shewn themselves in some
force."

PORT SAINTE MARIE, AUG. 17.---Ilis Royal
Uighness has passed in review his troops, who
are anxious to combat the enemy. Immense pre•
parations are executing. All is ready for the

REPORT OF MARSHAL CONEOLIANO.
Vicar, Ave. 17.—The enemy, beaten at the
bridge of Cabriani and Caldes, made his retreat
by Estang, Oria, Praliz de Lusanes, and
ronellu. Yesterday morning his rear guard
still occupied the latter point.
Baron d'Eroles and General Tremelin, who
have marched in the same direction as the
enemy, have received orders to surround them.
MAMMA, AUG. 19.—The enemy are march-
ing by Solsona on Tuna, and it is generally
thought they are, marching for Mont Blanc and
the camp of Tarragona.

CITY, Twelve o'Clock.--The chief business
doing this morning is in settling the account.—

Consols opened at 822 and 82i, 83 for next
account. The Expresses from Paris have brought
thp French Rentes at 92. 85. ; Spanish 422 to 43

.The decline in the French Funds was owing
to the circulation of unfavourable reports in
Paris. A private letter states, that the
garrison of Cadiz had made a sortie, in which the
French lost 1,000 men. Other letters state,
that it was expected that the affairs of- Spain
would soon be settled.
FOREIGN MARK:cr.—A great deal was doing
this morning, particularly in Sranish Bonds ; one
eminent Hebrew broker bought alone 50,000.

EXTRACT or A LETTER FROM 31ADEIRA, DATED THE

16TII AUGUST.

" The William Neilson, from Liverpool, arrived here on
the oth instant, and I am sorry to inform you, there was a
sailor on board who had the small-pox, of so malignant a kind,
that she was ordered away immediately by the Governor here ;
she was at anchor about eighteen hours, and the only things
we got from_ her were the letters, and those with difficulty ;
she was nearly full of cargo for this place. Ido not know what
the Captain will do with it, but I suppose will sell the Whole
in Demerara for account of those concerned, but should the
goods be sent from Demerara for this, they will not he admitted.
The people here are very much afraid of the small-pox ;it got
introduced here in 1019, by a vessel from the Cape de Verds,
after a very long quarantine, her cargo was only corn, and from
3to 4,000 persons died. The Board of Health was petitioned
to allow the William Neilson to perform a rigorous quarantine,
but they would not allow it, anti insisted upon her making sail
immediately. -I have taken every measure which_ occurred to
me to be for our safety, and petitioned to havethe-goods landed
and put into the Lazaretto, or some propmplace,r but that was
not allowed, and I have entered a protest in the Consul's office
accordingly."

Letters were received yesterday from Corunna
through France, dated the 16th, at which time
the place had not fallen, nor had any subsequent
attack been made by the Frei'Ch. - -
Some further intelligence was received yester-
day at' Lloyd's, tending to confirm the account of

34. long. 38. W. by the Sceptre, on her passage
from the River Plate to Liverpool. This intelli-
gence was brought to Dartmouth by the niumph,
from St. Helena, which vessel spoke the Sceptre
on the 9th, in lat. 29. long. 38.
The Gibraltar Chronicle of the Ist of August
says-.---4 Though private letters received yester-
day from Malaga, under date of the 29th ult,
state, that it was not known' that the French had
yet entered Granada, we are just informed that
news has since arrived by sea, according to which
it would appear that the French had entered
Granada; and that at Malaga, yesterday, they
were expected in a couple of days."

A Maori was shot by Mr. B. on Saturday
last, on his farm near Halesworth, Suffolk, which is about
twelve miles from Southwold, and ten from the sea coast.—
The rains and storms had disturbed the waters; and this
heron was on the banks of a pond diving for the fish which
had been agitated by the weather. From wing to wing
it measured two yards; from the end of its beak to the
point of its short tail about a yard and a half, though the
1 body was only the size of a common fowl, such was the
length of its neck. Its bill was about seven inches long;
the colour of the bird's feathers was that of the ordinary
pigeon. it was nailed against the barn doors es - a trophy,
and as a warning. To kill this bird, would, in former
times have been a great offence ; it is still a violation of
the times, of die kingdom. By 1 James 27,
every person who shall shoot at, kill, or destroy any heron,
with Run 4r bow, shall, on conviction before two Justices,
or oath of two witnesses, b committed to
by confession,
months. unless on conviction he pays to
gaol for three
the Churchwardens, for the . use of the poor, 20s. for each
heron ; or become bound not to offend in like
hou manner
again. By 19 Henry VII. c. 11. no person, witt his
take, or cause to be taken, by means
own grounds, shall flea,
of craft or engine, any Wens, unless it be with hawking, or
with long bows, on pain of 6s. lid. &c. By the same Art, no
person without his own ground, shall take any young herons
pain of 108., in like manner for every
out of the nest, on
young heron. And by the 26th of Henry. the Eighth,
-C. 11.. if any person from March to June, inclusive,
shall take
PT destroy the eggs of any heram, he shall be imprisoned for
one year, and forfeit for every egg lid.—All these Acts remain
unreptaled, but they have long been obsolete. It is scarcely
known, or suspected that such Acflexist, as constituting the
law of the land. • . .

country, for we have not been without rain since he made his
appearance in the Calendar of this year. Great anxiety was
felt by all classes this morning, as the clouds bore a most
threatening aspect, and from nine o'clock until nearly
twelve, the ram poured down in torrents; but, notwith-
standing the unfavourable state of the weather, some thou-
sands of, our townsmen had assembled on the Prince's apd
George's Piers, to witness the embarkation of Mr. Huskisson
and "Mr. Canning, with the numerous party who were in.

yards from the Pier, and the whole party, consisting of up.

about eleven o'clock, by the Seac4trlbe steam-boat. The .ar-

eleven, and were received by the company with three times
three hearty cheers, the band playing". God save the King."—

sun .dittnot shine forth in all his splendour, yet the town and
harbour an one side, and the numerous villas on the Cheshire
