LONDON,
SATURDAY EVENING, AUGUST 23, 1829.

The French Papers of Wednesday do not
P°sseu ranch interest or importance. The
Expedition sailed from Toulon on Sunday last,
the 17th. It consisted of 48 transports, escorted
by eight men of war, carrying 9,000 men. On
Monday 36 more transports were to sail under
Convoy of three men of war. Events of deep
importance to Europe must take place before the
return of this Expedition.

It is said that IBRAHINI PACHA had re

teived strict orders from the SULTAN not to
listen to any conditions for the evacuation of the
Nforea, and that IBRAHIM had expressed this
determination to the Allied Admirals, adding
that a military demonstration might furnish him
with a pretext to retire. How does this tally
with the previous accounts of the armistice
Stipulating for the evacuation of the Morea ?
There must be some mistake surely.

The SULTAN is unremitting in his exertions
for making a good defence of Constantinople,
and has even fortified Adrianople, in order the
Netter to interrupt the progress of the Ins-
-414", should they force the Balkan Mountains.
Ihe very possibility of such an event being
entertained by the SULTAN is indicative of his
4PPrehensions. Already the expences of the
war begin to be seriously felt at head-quarters,
41d the SULTAN is adopting the most obnoxious
Measures for replenishing his treasury. If his
44hbornness has come to this condition so soon,
the crisis cannot be far distant. But what can
de said of such conduct ? Does it not betray
44 utter insensibility to his own danger—or a
recklessness for the interests of his Em-
Pire ? Can he hope to get better terms
isr°lt the Russians before Constantinople than
beyond
the Danube ? But he expects to repulse
their armies before Shumla ? Granted. What
then ? Does he suppose that the invaders would
velum home, because of one, two, or even three
4Pulses at Shumla? Their mighty preparations,
4.1 above all, their ambition forbid any such
h
°Pe. Their hearts are set upon Constantino-
Pl') and no reverses within the power of Turkey
t
itiflict, can arrest their progress to the goal of
'tll4sian ambition. The enterprise is no doubt
441'ious, but then the object is gigantic—and the
6),), too bewitching to be resisted by a willing

private accounts mention the failure of the

houses of F. THOMSON NEPHEWS, and of Mr.
MOORE, of New YovV:, mill of :qr. W. EVANS,
of Philadelphh. The lailthe of the fil.:4 had
created a great sensation at New Yolk, and the
news was likely to excite -surprise at Liverpool.

Tke Hon. JA.NiEs BARBOUR, Ambassador
from the United States to the Court of St.
James's, came a passenger in the Pacjfie, as did
likewise Nir. OWEN, of New Lanark.

By the arrival of the schooner Lea at Balti-
more, the following intelligence has been re-
ceived at the North and South American Coffee
House, from Buenos Ayres, dated 13th June :

The rumours of peace, which have been so strongly cir-
culated for the last four months, are now gradually dying
away, and the business of the city recovering. The block-
ade is still strongly enforced by the Brazillians,
notwith-
standing which, we have frequent arrivals. The patriots
have gained a signal victory over their enemies in the
Banda Oriental, which will be an inducement to carry on
the war with increased vigour. The very heavy charges,
and the enormous freight and insurances required to be
paid, leave but a small profit on any article that is sent
here. Goods of all descriptions are not so high by 33i per
cent. as they were last week. In fact, the slightest report
affects the market sensibly, which is kept in continual
agitation by the speculators. Yesterday, doubloOns were
at 44, to-day they are at 51 ; and as doubloons rise and
fall, so are all articles of merchandize affected. Prices
Current at Buenos Ayres. Exports :—Salted Hides, 60
lel dollars; Ox and Cow Hides, 35 lbs., 9 to 10
cents. ; Horse, 3 dollars each, scarce ; Horse Hair, mixed,
7 dollars 50 cents. to 8 per arroba ; Ox Horns 1 dollar
25 cents. per 1,000 ; Sheep in Wool, per dozen, 2 dollars ;
Sheep's Wool, 7 dollars to S per 25 lbs; Spanish milled
double dollars, 2 dollars 25 cents. each; doubloons fluctu-
ating from 46 to 50 dollars each. Exchange on England,
171 pence per 1 dollar currency.
On Sllst May, the British packet arrived from Rio Ja-
neiro, but brought nothing positive respecting peace.—
When she had left Buenos Ayres, it was reported that the
Brazilian fleet had captured a full-rigged brig; an herma-
phrodite brig had been sent into Monte Video. The
schooner Express was also captured, and sent to the same
place. The first division of the blockading fleet was lying
12 miles from Buenos Ayres, under the command of the
new Admiral Grenfell ; the second division, of six sail,
was off Ensenada; and the third division off Point India.
It was thought at Buenos Ayres that an attack upon the
town was in contemplation, from the circumstance of the
Brazilians having so large a force in the river, and from
their sending in flags of truce upon every trivial occasion.

Accounts have been received at Norfolk

(U.S.) from Caraccas, of the 28th June; and,
according to a letter of that date, General PAEZ
was at Valencia, but it was reported he left there
some days previous, with troops to Maracaibo
the writer says he is gone to °calla, to dissolve
the Convention.

It is said that at Ferrol the Spaniards arc
making the greatest exertions in finishing two
sail of the line and two frigates, which, when
completed will be joined by others, and trans-
ports for the purpose of carrying troops to the
Havannal►. A descent on Mexico is said to
Ile the object.

A Ministerial Morning
.Paper has the fol-
lowing paragraph :—" In the absence of other
topics of conversation, of more immediate in-
terest, public attention to-day has been a
good deal directed towards France ; and the
spirit in which the threatened expedition
is preparing in the Mediterranean, has been
very freely discussed. The dogmatic tone
also assumed by the Paris Journals, and
the acrimonious manner in which they
speak of our policy, particularly as regards Por-
tugal, have given rise to serious apprehensions
that there is something marked or insidious in
the conduct pursuing by the French Cabinet."
Is it come to this already ? Does the Duke be-
gin to see a little day-light through the mystery
of his deep Allies ?

THE FUNDS-(THIS DAY).

CITY, Twiarz o' CLOCK.

The dullness of the weather appears to diffuse a
gloom over the Consol market, where inactivity is
the leading feature; scarcely a bargain was done for
two hours, when a trifling sale at 87i- turned them
sellers; the price at the opening was 87t- 1, they
are now 87y, sellers ; the heavy stocks maintain their
prices, and the public appear disposed to buy a little
money stock. Exchequer Bills, 73 ; India Bonds,
106 pm.
Foreign Securities, at least those most dealt in,
are sought after at good prices ; Russian Stock,
96} ; Danish, 62i a ; Brazilian Bonds have im-
proved nearly 1 per cent., having been done freely
at 63, from the opinion that peace is concluded, the
Exchange being improved from 29 to 311 ; this is a
good criterion that some arrangement has been made ;
Portuguese are steady at 53+4 ; Spanish continues
at 11 4, with little business.
In Shares a slight improvement has taken place,
in Brazilian, from 37 9 to 40 2 pm.; the other
varieties are steady.
The post letters of this morning announce the
sailing of the Brazilian frigate Isabel, of 60 guns,
from Falmouth to Madeira; we understand she
carries considerable supplies of stores, &c. for the
Constitutional Islanders ; she is understood to be
well manned and a formidable class of vessel.

Three per Cent. Console, 87i, sellers; Ditto, for Ac-
count, 871, nellers ; India Stock, 242 3 ; Bank Stock,

Consols remain steady at 87,-; a, without a trans-
action of the leaAt importance. India Bonds have
again given way, and the premium is reduced to 100

THREE O'CLOCK.

A letter from New York of the 26th July men-
tions the arrival of the Eliza, iii 12 days,from Porto
Rico ; she left there a convoy and transports with
3,000 troops on board, bound to the Harannah.

COACH ACCIDENT.—This morning about
ten o'clock, as a stage coach was proceeding at a slow rate
to town, through Knightsbridge, the axletree broke, and
immediately upset the coach, which was full of passengers,
but fortunately no injury occurred worth nuticiog.

DREADFUL CONSEQUENCE OF PASSION

On the afternoon of Friday last, John Caston,
dustman, in the employ of Sennet, of Clerken-
well, was engaged in drinking tea in the presence
of his son William, a fine lad between nine and ten
years of age, and who had made the tea. After the
father had partaken of the tea, he gave the vessel
containing the portion that remained, to his son,
desiring him also to drink, but not to take the whole.
The boy drank it, and as he presented the vessel
back to his father, the father said, " You haven't
drank it all !" The boy jocundly replied, " No,
father; here"—putting into his hand the empty
vessel, having in fact drank all that it contained.
The father instantly became so irritated at this con-
duct of his son, that he seized a pewter pint pot,
and threw it violently at him. It struck him on the
head and knocked him down. The pot was com-
pletely flattened when taken up. The father took
the boy immediately to St. Bartholomew's Hospital.
On examination it was found that a severe fracture
and depression of one of the parietal bones had
been occasioned. The depressed and fractured
pieces of bone were removed, dressing applied, and
the boy put to bed. No hope, however, was enter-
tained of his recovery from the moment of his ad-
mission. He remained apparently without much, if
any, pain, till Thursday, when he became convulsed,
and expired at four o'clock in the afternoon of that
day. What makes the ease still more distress-
ing is, that this fellow's wife, owing to his conduct
to her, has not been able to live with Lim for the
last three years. She kept the boy till within three
weeks ago, when, at the urgent solicitations of her
husband, she was induced to let him return to his
father, as lie (the father) said to work with him.
