[New Times.]

We have been favoured with letters from Bord,aux, dated
the Ist inst. They mention a rise in the price of grain of al-
most every description throughout Guyenne, and several
agricultural districts of Languedoc, occasioned by the very
large purchases made on account of foreign speculators. Some
rain bad lately fallen in the vicinity of Bordeaux, which had
been partially useful, hut the great evil of the long drought
was past remedy, and the owners of the vineyards will reap
a very pour harvest, comparatively with what they expected,
the grape having been in several quarters literally burnt up.
The most active exertions are at this moment wahine; by
the Spanish Government to dispatch a naval and military
force both to the Havannah and Mexico. The number of
infantry and artillery is stated at 7000, of which nearly 5000
are understood to be destined fur the Florida's, and the re-
-Inainder to be employed against the Insurgents. None of the
Russian men of war arrived at Cadiz are to be employed in
the expedition, as they have been pronounced altogether unfit
for any length of service, and the only vessels which Spain
is 'now enabled to send are two ships of the line, three tri-
ples, and a few sloops and brigs of war. The finances re-
quisite for tbe equipment of even so small an armament leave
been supplied with great dilliculty and at an enormous inte-
rest. The expedition will certainly sail before the end of the
present month.

MADRID.

The followinv, is an extract of a letter from
Madrid, dated August 24
" I can assure you that great efforts are mak-
ing to strengthen our connexion with England,
whose alliance is every day felt to be more and
move important. The invasion of Florida will
greatly facilitate this object. The credit of the
Russian Minister, M. de 'Tatistcheff, has consi-
derably declined. There have been very recently
a Council of State and Ministerial Consultations,
at which the King presided in person, and the re-
qfilt of which was not, as heretofore, communi•
csted to the Russian Minister, who now very
rarely has an audience of M. de Pizarro. He
W I,t; pv,esented himself at the King's residence
lie last eight days, without being received,
and it was only by means of the Camerilla that
LAtimatelv obtained an interview. At the last
'onlomatic audience, every person remarked that
the King,, cro to his ordinary practice, paid
bo.(a ve:y slight attention to him. In fact, every
ob's'crvation- tt.iat can be made upon the subject,
Icadm to the conclusion that the influence of Rm.
has lost its power over the Cabinet of Madrid.
With notch •difficulty, a certain number of ships
lyr%e been cot together, to transport some thou-
s Anus of lueu, but it will be necessary to have
ships of 'lie line to protect them from the Insur-
r,or p`rirateers. The Russian fleet was at first
for, this service, but they are in a
vs re(eneri a.ate, which caused the King to ub-

serve, that he consitlefed his acquisition of the
Russian vessels like buying an apparent decßti,
suit of cast-off clothes in a salesman's shop ; when
he would put them on, he finds them all moth-
eaten.
" Nothing is published here relating to Peru,
the atfAir of Mali)°, or General Morillo.
All
the news front the Spanish Colonies is confined to
some old reports addressed to the Viceroy of
,Mexico. The Decree respecting the consolidation
of the Nntional Debt, appeated only the day be-
fore yesterday.' It is calculated to attain partially
its object, it it be faithfully executed. The prin-
cipal resort cc is the Clergy, from whom are ex-
acted four years of the revenues of vacant Pre-
bends ; but by an incomprehensible arrangement,
the revenues of the Bishops and Archbishops es-
cape this demand. We shall ste whether this
new plan of finance will have more success than
all those which have preceded it."

STATE OF FEVER IN IRELAND.

It appears that the increase of p4tients in Wa-
terford hospital has been very great tor the het
three months. June, 200 were admitted
monthly number until then unknown in the ex-
perience of this Institution. Since that time the
numbers have increased by an addition of more
than one half; 3:3 persons having been admitted
in July, and J4O in August. Of these, 40 ..vere
sent in from the country to the knitter, au,t 50 in
the latter month.
We are sorry to hear that Clonmel is Alieted
with Dysentery nearly as Waterford, and the
complaint has made its appearance at Carrick-on-
Suir.

The Limerick Report states a lamentable in.
crease of fever. At the Fever I-louse Corpora-
tion Meeting of Cork, it was said that the lever
had not ditninished in extent, though it had in
malignity.
We are sorry to learn that fever is 'again appear.
ing in this quarter, as well as in other parts of
it eland. Here, however, it is at present of a
very mild character.—(Mayo Cunstitution.)
At the date of the last report from four
patients had been refused admission into tile hos-
pital, for want of room.

[Morning Post.]

Private letters from Paris of the 4th state that some alarm-
ing symptoms of discontent hare of late been manifested in
La Vendee; that some armed detachments are proceeding
through the country, halting at the different castles, and pro-
Claiming the must wicked and infuriated projects ; and that
pamphlets- and seditious placards are profusely circulated in
those districts. We do not, however, place implicit reliance
upon these statements.—Other letters say, that the English
holders of French Stock, in anticipation of some change de-
pendent on the approaching departure of the Army of Occu-
pation from France, are now daily selling out. This state-
ment seems highly probable, front the fact of the rapid de-
cline of the French Funds, which in the course of a very few
days have fallen from 80 to 77i.
fiesav HUNT.Yesterday morning a warrant was obtained
at Bow-street against the Spa-fields Orator, for an assault
upon Mr. V. Dowling, the Gentleman who horsewhipped
Hunt upon the Hustings at Covent-Garden, during the late
Election. It appeals that Mr. Hunt met Mr. Dowling acci-
dentally in the shop of Mr. Clement, the Proprietor of The
Oissetver, in St. Clement's Church-yard, and after calling
him a " Government Spy," and applying to him other oppro-
bious epithets, challenged bins to a boxing snatch. Mr. D.
declined this polite invitation, and Mr. Hunt struck him in
the face. We trust the strong. hand of the law will prevent a
repetition of such outrages ; and that Mr. D. tike the
necessary steps to iiihiet un hint the punishment be deserves.

cepted by the Spanish Government, Which was
written by a Llonse in Londowto their Corre-
spondent at Cadiz, mentioning the defection of
the soldiers who were lately sent out to join the
Royalists at Peru. The person to whom the letter
was addressed was summoned before the
and was strongly cautioned against either receiv-
ing or communicating any information relative to
State affairs. The same letter adds, that the ar-
ntament at Cadiz will have a duty to perform very
different from thai,of crossing the Atlantic.

We understand it is the intention of his Royal
114;liness the PI ince Regent to wake Kew one of
his principal summer resHenres. It is certain
that very extensive alterations are about to be
made there. The old Palace, and its out-offices,
which have long been in a most ruinous state, are
to he taken down immediately, and a new house
erected a little to the east of thrir present site,
directly fronting the avenue of Kew Green ; at
the head of which will be the grand entrance to
the'svhole, insteml of the present circuitous route,
under the garden wall, by the river. This wall
too, is to be increased in height, and extended
along the side of the river as far as to the ferry,
taking in the row of noble elms, opposite the new
Palace, and the whole of the embankment made
by order of the King, except a towing path. The
entire space thus enclosed, as well as the private
gardens, between the old Palace and the river,
will be planted with a screen of lofty evergreens,
so 55 to entirely exclude all prospect of the very
unpicturesque buildings of Brentford. The whole
of the horses, the property of the late Queen, will
be removed to the King's Mews, in town, from
'Windsor Castle, at the beginning of next week,
for the purpose of being sold.—(ltid.)

His Royal Highness the Prince Regent has
bet n pleased to order Colonel Taylor to inform
all her late MajeJty's servants, at IVindsor, not to
make themselves unhappy, in consequence of the
late melancholy event, that .they should all be
amply provided for.—The whole of her late Ma-
jesty's retinue, at Windsor, retain their situations,
with their tables, and all other allowances, as
heretotore.—(lbid )

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, DEC. 8.

LIBEL.
ASSIGNEES 07 WALDBOIRAVII V. BI6NOLD.

This was an action for damages in -consequence.
of a libel published by the defendant, who was
Secretary for the Norwich Union insurance Com—
,
patty.
Mr. Setjeant Lars stated the case for the Plain
►iffs, the circumstances of which are as follow :
►►'aldegrave having his premises insured in the
Norwich Union Office, applied to the .defendant
for payment of
_7191. 6s. in consequence of (t.
wages which those premises had sustained by. fire.
The defendant refused to pay this stu►, which,
however, Wahlegrave recovered upon a trial'of
the cause. Of this trial the defendant published
a history, with cotntttet►ts, in which comments- he

rosinita:ed thatWaldegtave itatl set file to h 4 own
premises. The gist of the lihel upon Wahleg,rave
was expressed in the following terms :-4c Suspi-
cions fires always happen on Sarnrday or Sunday.
This fire happened on a Saturday night, and the
cause of it 'has never been ascertained."—There
were also several other reflect ions,kut not quite
so severe, upon the consloct Mildegrave.
It was proved that 3000 copies of this history
were published in hand-bills, and 2000 also in im-
pressions of a Weekly Newspaper; called The Bri-
tish Luminary.

The Printer oi the hand-hing, and the ruitlter
of The British ,Luminary, deposed, that they re-
received the copy of the libel complained of front
the defendant.

The Proprietor of the Bull Inn, Bishopsgate-
street, whose prettiiges are contiguous to those of
Waldegrave,deposed;lhat the tire which damaged
the residence of the latter was occasioned by a
horse• keeper in his service, who incautiously tak-
ing a lighted candle into one of his stables, set
tire to it, and was himself burned to death.

The person who valued the property of
grave, whit!) had been destroyed by fire, deposed
that it was worth the slim cha'tged and leeovered
by him, in his action against the Norwich Union
Insurance Office.
No evidence was adduced lot the defendant, but
Mr. Serjeant COFLgY addressed Ore Court and
Jury in his behalf. The Learned connsel endea-
voured to she w that the publication complained of
not written or tittered with a view to malign
the character of Wahlegrave, but in order to im-
nrtss upon the Membrrs of the Norwich Ilnion
Insurance Company, that the defendatit was jus-
tified in resisting the demand of 117441:rave, and
in taking a defence to his action against that
Company. The Jury, however, found a verdict
for the plaintiffs—Damages, 5001.

[The Times.]

There have been various conjectures in the
Journals lately, and various rumours in political
parties, of projected changes in the Ministry.—
We are ourselves disposed to think that some
mores may have been in agitation, though with-
out any such radical alteration as has been talked
of. We should be disposed to present our Readers
with the following sketch of a new assignment of
men ro places ; which, it will be seen, does nor
affect the unity or permanence of the Ministerial
body. We have heard, as has been often stated,
that Lord Ilarrowby will go to Paris in the place
of Sir Charles Stuart ; amt that, Lot d Melville
114 u go out to India (which is considered as his
ultimate destination), lie will supply the place of
Lord Harrowby, as President of the Council. The
place of Lord Melville at the Admiralty will be
filled by Mr. Wellesley Pole ; who, in his turn,
to he succeeded by Lord Mulgrave from the
Ordnaoce ; which makes the long-rumoured open-
ing fur the Duke of Wellington.

THE THEATRES.

DRURY-LANE.—TI►e Tragedy of Brutus con-
tinues its attraction, and nowithstanding the in-
clemency of the weather, had last night a very
numerous audience. The play we find has -been
printed, and its popularity is so great that the
first edition was sold on the very day of publica-
tion. We rejoice in its success, being sincere
well-wishers to the Thqatre, though we do hot
approve of its conduct in leaving the Public de-
prived of the talents of Miss KLLLY.

COVENT-GARDEN.—The new Comedy or A
Word to the Ladies, bas been so well retrenched,
though there is still abundant room for the
pruning knife, that it last night experienced a
more favourable reception than on its first ap-
pearance.'

THEATRICAL ADVENTURER.—A few days since
Mr. BIRNIE received a communication from Scot-
land, that a youth of the highest respectability, a
student in the University of Glasgow, had
sconded from his family, and it was supposed bad
made his way to London. From his strong pro-
pensity for the stage, it was supposed be would
Offer himself at some of the Theatres ; and the
worthy Magistrate in consequence sent informa-
tion to the Managers of the Theatres, with a de-
scription of the youth ; and yesterday he received
a communication from Mr. Stephen Kemble, the
Manager of Drnry-lane Theatre,. that a youth an-
swering the description had presented himself to
be engaged as an actor, and that he had thought
it right to detain him. Mr. Birnie sent a.request
to Mr. S. Kemble to send him to the Office, and
at three o'clock the youth entered the Office, ac-
companied by Mr. S. Kemble. On the youth be-
ing questioned, he said he had come from Glas-
gow, and that lie had come to London by sea.
Mr. Birnie. asked Mr. S. Kemble if he thought
that the youth possessed abilities for the stage ;
Mr. Kemble replied, that he did not think he
had, and that his youth was against him. He is
only seventeen years of age. The Magistrate
advised him to give up his propensity for the
stage, and return to his family, which he pro-
mised to do,

THE DROPPED CHlLD.—Yesterday, the parish
officers attended in Hatton Garden, when Anne
Symons, the midwife, was brought up, charged
with being an accomplice in dropping the child.—
She was held to bail.

SORB THROAT9.—At this season of the year,
when many people are afflicted with that danger-
ous and distressing complaint, a sore throat,
the following simple recipe for its cure, which we
have received from a respectable correspondent,
may' be very useful :—Take a glass of olive oil,
and ball a glass of spirits of turpentine, mix them
together, and rub the throat externally, wearing
flannel round it at the same time. It proves most
effectual ►wen applied early. Sweet oil will an-
swer the purpose equally ',well.

ENGLAND.

THE EARL OF HUNTINGDON.--This Nobleman
is now on a visit to Sir E. Stracey's, Itackbeath,
near Ibis city. There is something very extraor-
dinary iii' his history. His name is Hastings, and,
with two elder brothers, he was lett at an early
age under the guardianship of a noble relation,
a well-known and once favourite associate of the
Prince Regent. 't he two elder brothers were sent
to the West Indies, where they both died. The
youngest was placed in the army, and sent to the
East Indies. -Some months ago he was'visiting
in 'rebind, and a dispute having arise') bet ween
him anti an Irish Peer. Capt. Hastings demanded
the satisfaction of a Gentleman ; the Peer re-
he could not 'fight a Commoner. Captain
Hastings declared that his claim to nobility was
at least equal to that of the Peer, for that he was
the rightful heir to the third Earldom of England.
A Legal Gentleman present was 'minced, from this
declaration, to make a further investiLtation into
the claim, and accompanied Capt. Hastings into
Leicestershire, where, after assts difficulty, the
documents necessary to its establishment were
obtained. That he had many and powerful ob-
stacles to encounter may be easily-imagined, for
the very tombs of his ancestors were defaced and
destroyed. He has nevertheless completely suc-
ceeded in establishing his claim to the title anti
estates of the Earldom of Huntingdon,
.anti
now proceeding to recover possession of the pro-
perty which has so long been unjustly withheld
front hien.—(Norgicli Courir.)
Tbe Syndics of the Fitzwilliam Museum (Cam-
bridge) have made a fin ther report to the Senate,
relative to ascertaining how far it is practicable
to obtain the ground at present occupied ;by the
Inn -and the neighbouring buildings, as,a site
for theintended Milsenm; to accompliah which
object it will be necessary to purchase Mr. Cory's
house, part of the site of which, if the Senate
approve the plan,
,will be thrown into the
.intend-
ed new street, and part will be transferred to
King's'College, in consideration of ground given
up by that Society in tear of the proposed- Mu-
seum ; -to obtain from Clare Hall the White Horse
and the.adjoining premises, part of the site of
which will be occupied by the north end of the
intended Museum, and the remainder transferred
to King's College; to obtain from Catherine Hall
the ground at 'present occupied by the Bull Inn
and by the college stables, &e. and to. purchase
the houses next to Catherine Hall, in the occu-
pation of Messrs. Smith and Kitupton. In order
to carry the several transfers and purchases into
effect, ate Act of Parliament tuns:. be obtained,

morning.
" It was particularly gratifying to his Excel-

that distinguished and gallant corps the 2d batta-
lion of the Ist or Grenadier Regiment ot Bombay
Native Infantry, a corps whose conduct at Korg-

There was - a large party in the evening at the
Hon. Mr.Blphinstone's, at which the band of the
2.(1 Ist were in attendance, and amon4st other se-
lect pieces of music, played the Battle of Korg-
ganm.
This piece of music was greatly admired by all
present ; it is the coMposit ion of the Master of the
hand, who, we are informed, is an extraordinary
genius in his profession. In this instance he en-
joyed one great advantage over other musical pro-
fessors, as he had been present in the action,
where he distinguished himself by the skill and
execution of his performances on an instrument
called a musket.

Bomara, AUG. 15.—8 y accounts from Aruba,
dated theist of August, we have the satisfaction
of receiving the particulars of a dashing and gal-
lant affair performed by Lieut. Sutherland, com-
manding a Risalah of his Highness the Nizatn's
reformed horse, in the taking prisoners of Dbur-
majee and iii 3 brother.
From intelligence received during the night of
the 30th July, Lieut. Sutherland was hubseed to
alter the direction of his march on lidyton to
Dotty,' which latter place lie reached a little after
day-break, and he immediately surrounded i,t
with a few men who had come up for some miles
at a gallop.
The place was subsequently more closely in-
vested, and preparations were mode in the after-
noon for an escalade. Eighty mounted men
were formed into eight parties, and so phe-
ed as -to prevent escape. Thirty matchlock-
men were postal on *a hill which overlooked
the village, and the' remainder were formed
into two storming parties ; the one headed
by Lieut. Sutherland and the other under Ist Je-
midar Shadeekban. On a signal given to -the hill
and repeated to Shadeekban, the parties advance:a
to the storm. On the approach Of the party un-
der Lieut. Sutherland, the garrison threvi open
the gate and stood bravely to defend it sword in
hand. Shadeekban led on his party with a coolness
and determination which would have conferred
honour on any troops; placed the ladders•and ad,

CEYLON INTELLIGENCE.--.JULY 11.

The latest accounts from the interior give a
favourable repremitation of the present state' of
affairs ; there appears to be a great rt!axttion in
the hostile efforts of the rebels, and in many parts
of the country our troops are busily employed in
securing the crops of paddy, and getting in large
quantities of grain, with the assistance of many
natives, who are paid for their labour in reaping
with a part of the produce.
The sivhole tract of country from the South East
extremity of Saffragan to the North East border
of the Seven Korles, embracing one-half in ex-
tent, and much more in value of the Kandyan ter-
ritories, continues perfectly quiet. The rebels
tram. Alatele had attempted an incursion into the
Seven Korles, but Lieut.-Col. Hook writes that
they have been driven back across the Didero
Oya.
In Oudapalata, between 40 and 50 families
who had fled into'Kotmalee, have returned peaCe-
ably to their residence in the neighbourhood of
Gampala.
The latest letters from Badulla are of the 28:h
and 30th ult. and the intelligence is altogether of
a gratifying nature. No opposition bad been
made for many days to any of the escorts). and the
few natives on the hills have generally retrained
even from abusive language.
In Wellassy all was quiet, and the \barmen
were busily employed with their cattle:in Wing-
ing up supplies, without any opposition.
Major Coxon reports that tranquillity pre-
vails in Bandookora, and the troops in the posts
on. the Katteragam line are becoming more,
healthy.
Lieutenant Wilkinson makes a most favourable
report of improved state of affairs at Passera.
By this morning's post we hear from Kandy
that a numerous meeting of ,the rebels took place
ut Hangeramketty on the sth instant, when it
was resolved to make a grand attack on the post
of Godamoone. On the 7th and Bth this design
was pia into execution in a true Kandian
The Pretender, Kappitopola, and several other
Chieftains took up their position on a about
two miles off, and about 5000 rebels made the
assault premeditated. They began each day about
noon, and continued till near midnight but their
fire was at such a distance that not a single man
in Godamoone was hurt, nor is it thought - that
-many of the assailants tutiated in their dastardly
attempt.

FOR 11-14 SUN.

Ma. EDITOR,--Your Correspondent G. M. in
last Wednesday's Paper, took up a most unfor-
tunate cause, and expressed great indignation
against The Quarterly Review, for a proceeding
which entitles it to new praise and a fresh share
of gratitude from the friends of the Church.—
Nothing more was necessary than an examination
of Mr. BELLAMY'S own Prospectus, to convict
him of being a rash pretender, who was deter-
mined at all hazards to reconcile difficult passages
of Scripture, by a new interpretation ; while at
the same time it proved that, whatever his pre-
tensions to learning might be, he has not a suffi-
cient share of understanding to make a consistent
eke-ration. 111 one or two of those few speci-
mens, which he himself has selected to lay before
the Public, the new translation proposed by him
might rentore, indeed, the old difficulty, but only
by presenting to the leader new nonsense. Now
it ts not a Nery erdirotis task to decide which we
ought to prefer, a translation which gives an ob-
scure sense, or one which leaves no sense tit all.
The bare-faced manner in which Mr. lb.'s attempt
has been pushed into notice7and H patronage to
which it has not the slightest pretence, has cap-
tivated
some slight and superficial understandings;
and led them to presume that a titan who has
given no previous proofs to the world of sound
learning and good judgment, may be expected to
interpret the Hebrew Scriptures more correctly
titan any of those transcendant scholars, and en-
lightened men,
who have laboured at that task
for three centuries past. The idea itself is folly,
and the nue:apt to support it, in the face of fair
criticism, little less than madness.
Mr. G. M. uses very harsh and unbecoming
language respecting the unknown
author of the
critique ILI The Quarterly Reriew; but instead of

Mrs. WELLS SUMaELL has been performing so
well at this place, that her success, and the
applause which she excited, will probably en-
able her to find her way to the London stage
again. At least it is very probable that if she
were to take a theatrical ramble thr,,ogh the king-
dom, the Provincial Managers, as well as herself,
would benefit by the excursion. Her imitation of
Mrs. SIDDONS in Jane Shore was excellent. No
attempt to ridicule the great Original of course
marked her performance, but it was a very
successful attempt to copy her tones and ge-
neral expression ; and to those who never
saw that great Original, the performance most
have been deemed a very able and affecting repre-
sentation of the character. She also performed
her old favourite part of Cowslip, in the afterpieCe,
in which she displayed all that rustic simplicity
by which she first brought it into notice. This is
realty a fair tribute to her merit for talents and
versatility.

AIr.WARD, the celebrated Artist, is here, and by
all accounts is deeply engaged in preparing his
grand allegorical picture.
The weather is so mild, and indeed so warm,
that many of the visitors who were ready to take
wing for the Metropolis, still find a pleasant perch,
and delightful breezes, which tempt them to pro.
long their stay till the nearer approaches of surly
Winter.
