of a player into their cemetery. The Constitu-
tionnel adds, in a postcript,-44 We are assured
that an order has been issued from authority, to
celebrate a funeral service for the deceased, and
that it will take place this evening (Monday) at
his parish church of St. Lawrence."

[NEW TIMES.]
Accounts were yesterday received at Lloyd's
of the sailing of an Algeripe squadron from Oran,
destined to act against the vessels of Spain and
Sardinia. The old excuse of a want of punctu-
ality in making good their payments, as stipu-
lated by treaty, is asserted as the reason for
this act of barbarous warfare. By nn arrival
from Jamaica, letters and papers were yesterday
received to the 19th of August. They state
that affairs in that island remain perfectly
tranquil; but by the same conveyance accounts
have been received from Lima to the 9-d of
June. On the 27th of May Bolivar still conti-
nued at Truxillo, and some letters say was suf-
fering from desertion amongst his troops. His
remaining so long at that place would seem to
indicate an inability to advance. On the other
hand, the Bogota Gazettes, which have been
received to the 28th of July, give an official dis-
patch from Bolivar himself, confirming the ac-
counts previously received of the defection of
Olaneta ; and the letters from Carthagena to the
15th of August also positively assert this event
to have taken place. The forces under Olaneta,
who took part with him in 116 determination of
joining the Independents, are stated to amount
to between three and four thousand men.

[THE TIMES.]
We received last night the Paris papers of
Tuesday. It is stated in a letter, dated Nau.
plia, August SI, that Odysseus, the Greek Chief-
tain, had obtained considerable advantages over
the Turks at Thermopylae. The army of the
Greeks at Gastouni is said to he composed of
14,000 men. A letter from Madrid, dated the
7th instant, gives us a repetition of the same me-
lancholy scenes of disorder and violence which
have become habitual in Spain since the French
invasion. The Minister of War is said to
have proposed to his Majesty the disbanding
of some of the regiments lately formed, be-
cause some of the soldiers who composed
them served in the Constitutional Army, and
must thus have acquired ideas inconsistent with
the present system of Government. The late
Minister of War, General Cruz, and the Ex-
Minister of Finance, Erro, are still kept in close
confinement. On the 6th instant, three compa-
nies of the Royal Volunteers marched from the
capital to Valverde, at the distance of about
three leagues, to support the authority of the Al-
calde, whose orders had been disputed by the
Royal Volunteers of the place. A skirmish took
place between these loyal supporters of Ferdi-
nand ; and the Alcalde's friends being worsted,
he himself was in danger of his life. Count Ofa•
Nu, the Ex-Minister, who, when he was lately
turned out of the Cabinet, was banished by the
King to Almeria, his native town, was treated
with as little respect as this unfortunate A lcalde.
He was insulted on his arrival by the Royalist
Volunteers, and having appealed for protection
to the Commandant of the garrison, was exposed
by this officer, diiiring a whole day, to the deri-
sion of the populace, under pretext of defending
him from their hostilities. The ex-Minister
complained to the King, who issued a similar
decisive order to the authorities of the pro-
vince, to treat his Councillors of State with
more civility. The Journal des Debuts, after
detailing these and similar facts, insert a
well-written article, criticising the system pur-
sued by France with respect to SpaNt, and
exposing the vacillating and undecided policy
of the Prrsideut of the Council. Paris has
witnessed another of those disgraceful scenes
v‘hich have frequently occurred since the return
of the 13ourbons, at the interment of persons
connected with the stage. Whih. the French
people, the French nobility, and the French
Court, make dramatic performances a part of
their' necessary entertainment, even on Sunday,
the French clergy exclude dramatic performers
from the most sacred rites of religion in life, and
from Christian burial when dead. Phillippe, late
an actor of Porte St. Martin, gave occasion to the
present Act of clerical bigotry, and the conse-
quent explosion of popular fee:lng. Having
died suddenly ou the night of Thursday
se'nnight, his father waited on Sunday lust
on the priest of the church of St. Laurent, to
request leave for the performance of the
visual religious ceremonies which precede inter-
ment. The old man experienced an absolute re-
fusal, and was told that, the body of no actor
could be admitted into the church. It was ne.
cessary, therefore, to decide on committing the
corpse of his son to the dust without that conso-
lation : but the populace was not so easily seas.
fled. As the funeral was proceeding to Pere la
Chaise, a party of the deceased's friends cried
out, " 6 To the church of St. Laurent." This
movement was opposed by a commissary of
police, and funeral procession was interrupted
till an appeal should be made to the King.—
When the messengers sent for that purpose to the
Tuileries returned, the procession again took its
original direction, and the crowd %%as dispersed
by thirty or forty gendarmes.

[TUE PUBLIC LEDGER.]
Yesterday letters were received from Zante,
dated the Bth ult., but they contain nothing re-
specting the Captain Pacha, after his defeat off
Samos, beyond loose rumours. In like manner,
no, intelligence, which could be relied on, had
reached the Island, by which the fate of the
Egyptian squadron could be ascertained. This
uncertainty, however, countenances the rumour
of the latter having been defeated and dispersed
by the Greeks ; as, otherwise, it would be diffi-
cult to account for its non-arrival on the coast of
the Marva, which was its original .destination.—
It is quite certain that, up to the middle of last
month, It had not made its appearance
there ; for in two days it could be known in
Zante; and the ignorance, as we said before, that
prevailed in the Island respecting its movements,
is is strong presumption that it had suffered some
