NAVAL REGULATIONS.

The following Circular, regulating the principle
on which Flag and other Promotions in the Navy
are to take place in future, has been issued by his
Royal Highness the Lord High Admiral :

Admiralty-Office, July 7, 1827.

His Majesty has been graciously pleased, by his Order in
Council of the 30th of last month, to repeal all former Or-
ders in Council regulating the appointment of Captains
who may be passed over on flag promotions to be superan-
nuated Hear-Admirals, and to direct that the following
regulations shall be established in lieu thereof.
let. Captains (if, by their characters and other qualifi-
cations, they are considered eligible by the Lord High Ad-
miral, or the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty) shall

mentioned Regulations to be promoted to be a Flag Officer
on the active list, nor yet to be placed on the retired list

LONDON, '
FRIDAY EVENING, JULY 20, 1827.

We received last night the Paris Papers of
Tuesday, and the Gazette de France dated
Wednesday morning. The latter pronounces
the outline of the Treaty stated by the Morning
Papers of the preceding day as having been entered
into between Great Britain and France with re-
spect to Spain, to be a mere fabrication. It al),
peared to us to bear evidently the stamp of having
been invented by the Parisian Editors.
The accounts from Corfu mention", that Vice-
Admiral Sir EDWARD CODRINGTON, the Com-
mander-in-Chief of the British Fleet in the Medi-
terranean,
had sent the most pressing orders to
the 'Commanders of the ships on the different
stations to proceed forthwith to the Dardanelles.
Amongst our extracts in another column will
be found an article from tile Con-stitntionnel
upon the subject of reaty relative to Greece,
in which it expresses. an opinion that IBRAxrNI
and REDgCHID PACHA will strike a- decisive
blow ui.)Cii-tVat Coiiritiy.assoer: as the nature of
the Treaty which the Great Powers have entered
into is known. An article from the Qtoticlienne

is also given, containing information respecting
the Portuguese Ministry t6the Ist inst. It ap-
pears from this to be certain that VILLA REAL
has taken office, instead of Count PALAtir.i.A
and that a probability exists of the removal of
SALDANHA from the office of Minister of War.

His Majesty's • cutter,' &amble, has arriv-
ed with a mail from Lisbon, but the papers
brought by this opportunity are not of so late a
date as those which we published some days
since, received by the steam boat. - The follow-
ing extracts, however,,have not been before pub-
lished. It will be seen by them that the reports.
which had been circulated of the probability of
a fresh invasion being attempted from Spain by
the deserters into that country, are declared to
have no foundation ; and that the Princess
REGENT had found it necessary to adopt regu-
lations-for « repressing the abuses of the Liberty
of the Press."

JUNF 23.—it is notorious to everybody that
the Portuguese deserters, driven into the Spanish territory,
were disarmed by order of the Government of his Catholic
Majesty, which also ordered from the Spanish territory, not
only the Marquis de Chaves, whose arrival in France we
have before announced, but also the Ex-Viscount de Canel-
las, Sebastian Duarte da Ponte Negro, and others, who
might be considered as the chief instigators of the plans so
fatal to the tranquillity of this kingdom.
" Some men, however, to whom the tranquillity of the
people appears odious, endeavouring to spread alarming re-
ports, insinuating that the same deserters are preparing a
new invasion of their country, it is our duty to declare po-
sitively and decidedly, the falsehood of an assertion destitute
of foundation, and even incompatible with the dearest in-
terests of the neighbouring kingdom. The Government of
his Most Faithful Majesty appreciates the religious observ-
ance of the most sacred principles of the law of nations, and
has a right to hope a similar regard to them in other States,
especially in that one .which, by its geographical posposition,
is the nearest, and is more interested than any other in the
maintenance of sincere and reciprocal harmony. We have
reason to believe, that this hope, so dear to all those who
value the happiness of the Portuguese nation, and the per-
fect equilibrium of the political balance of Europe, will not
be frustrated.

" OFFICIAL.

" The law to repress: theahuses of the liberty of the
press not being yet promulgated, without which it cannot
have all the latitude expressed in the third paragraph of
article 145 of the Charter, and it being urgent to provide
immediately for a matter of this importance, on which the
consolidation of the institutions, the dignity of the Crown,
the good understanding with the Allied Powers, the public
tranquillity, and the respect due to the attributions of
the political powers decreed by the same Charter,
mainly depend, I think fit, in the name of the King, to
approve the instructions below urged by the Viscount de
Santarem. Minister for the affairs of the kingdom, &e.

" INSTRUCTIONS, WHICH MAKE FART OF THE DECREE OF

THY: 20TH OF JUNE,
1. The printing of no writing shall be allowed,
which treats or analyses subjects, the interpretation of which
belongs exclusively to the legislative power, by sec. 6 of
art. 15 of the Charter.
ic s 2. In the same manner no writing shall be permitted

to be printed, which controverts the doctrines laid down
in art. 92 of chap. 5, of the Constitutional Charter."'—
Lisbon Gazette to July I.

We have received New York and Washing-
ton Papers, the former to the 23d, and the
latter to the 22d June, their contents are not
important, but we subjoin a few extracts :

(From the New York Advertiser; June 23.)

Latest from Peru.—Letters have been received at Bal-
timore from Lima, as late as the 20th of February, which
show that nothing important has occurred since our last
dates. We see nothing to countenance a report which
went through the Papers a few days ago, that the Colom-
bian troops had been imprisoned in the castle of Callao.
On the'contrary,. the public opinion in the city and the
country, as far as it has been ascertained, is said to be
strongly in favour of the revolution of January last, against
the Bolivian Constitution, which those troops bad so great
an influence in producing.
"The -new Congress was to assemble on the Ist May,
to.form a new constitution and government. It is stated,
that the remaining Colombian troops in Peru and Bolivia
Would probably imitate the example of their countrymen ;
Land that there was every reason to believe the Bolivian Con-
stitution would give way for a better one, without dis-
turbance or bloodshed. -

." There bad be....n no arrivals at Lima from the United
States, from the 25th of December till February the 23d,
and there was a great improvement in prices. There were
not, at the latter date, 200 barrels of flour in market, -and
the last was sold at 23 dollars en board. In spite of the
new tariff of SO per cent., unbleaehed cottons, 33 to 36
inches wide, would bring It on board ; 300 bales, of on:
quintal each, Virginia tobacco, 20 dollars on board ; 500
quintals Cuba leaf, of good quality, would bring 75 dollars
on board ; 150,000 yards brown domestics would find
immediate sale; invoice of ferniture, say 100 dozen back
chairs, SO'dozen cane bottom ditto; 20 sofas, with backs
handsomsiy finished ; 70 crates of blue crockery-ware : 500
ql. of good clean tallow, in marquetas of 12511►. each, 18
dollars to 14 ql. on board ; 300 ql. quicksilver at 100
dollars on board ; 300 boxes sperm candles, four to five is.
per lb, ; 40( boxes Muscat wine, at 5 dollars on board ;
German linens improving, last sale, platillas 13 to 16 dollars
in this city ; estopillas 11 to 17 dollars per piece ; duty SO
-per cent. on valuation of 9 dollars, &c.
HAvAriax.--:fhe advice* from Havannali are to the
11 th instant, at which time, we regret to learn; there was
much sickness, particularly among the shipping. It seems
that the rumours respecting the appearance of a Colombian
fleet off the island of Cuba are without foundation. They
originated from the circumsta ice of two United States'
vessels-of war having been mistaken for Colombians.
_ _

" The importance of the commerce of the island of Cuba
to the United States is strongly illustrated by the fact,
that, out of 56 foreign vessels in the port of Ifavannali,
on the 28th u1t..51 were American, 2 English, 1 French,
and 1 Bremen. •

" COLO3IBIA.—We have lately heard of several circum-
stances, which, if truly represented, cannot be taken other-
wise than as indications that the dissensions between the
Colombian Constitutional Government and Gen. Bolivar
are tending towards an adjustment. If it can be effected
without the surrender of principle or security, we shall
heartily rejoice in it. The Coagress had not yet assembled,
but a decree was issued on the 10th April, convoking it
at a new place, Tunja, on account of the sickness of a
member detained at that place.
" CHINESE TRANE.—From a table in the Philadelphia
Gazette, of the exports from Canton, taken from the cus-
tom-house books of that place, to the United States, for
the last four years, it appears that the total amount of
teas imported in the Union in the year 1822-23, was
126,922 boxes of all sorts; in 1823-4, 112,816 boxes;
in 1824-5, 154,995 boxes; in 1825-6, 146,086 boxes;

"'Philadelphia had more of this trade than all the other
towns of the United States; but it is a trade which must
now sustain a sensible diminution. When the East India
CoMpany made arrangements for the introduction of large
quantities of tea into Canada, it was immediately perceived,
by sensible men, that much of our'supply of that article
would cane from that quarter. To this we may now add
silks, which can be -smuggled across the line with great
facility. The Canadians will, in this way, pay for the
flour and other articles they purchase from the people on
our northern frontier to supply the West Indies. The
balance, if there be any, will be paid in British niL-
nufactures.'"
" Joseph Lancaster, the celebrated founder of the Lan-
casterian system of instruction, arrived at Newhaven a few
days since from the Island of St. Croix. lie has been
travelling in different parts of South America for several
years, and has attempted to introduce his schools in Came-
cas and other places in Colombia. His plans, we under-
stand, have not been successful, and he has left that country
dissatisfied. Mr. Lancaster was to deliver a public lecture
in the Centre Church in 'Newhaven on the 21st."

" likvANNAri, MAN- 27.—Seven sail are now off. They
are supposed to be the Colombian 'squadron, consisting of
two frigates, one corvette, two brigs, and one three-masted
schooner. They have been seen by the Argo and Eliza-
beth—the latter'only arrived this day.
" Laborde, with five heavy frigates, is only waiting a
wind to get out. We shall have, no doubt, an engagement
before many days."—Baltimore Connizercial Chronicle.

Letters have been received in town, this morn-
ing, from the Island of Ascension, to the 2d
June, by his Majesty's ship Boadicea, which
has arrived at Shithead from the East Indies.
Lieut.-Colonel NrcnoLLs and his little'Garri-
son were all well.

Brussels Papers of the 18th inst. have been
received this morning ; their contents are parti-
cularly striking. The following are extracts :

BRUSqET,S, JULY 14.

The Feuille de Tournay announces that• the annual
emigration has commenced ; for some days past, it says,
English carriages are arriving in great numbers at our
hotels, all on their way to Brussels. •
The Austrian Minister for Foreign Affitirs, Prince Met-
ternich will not come to his seat at Johannisberg this year,
because he is going to the baths of Ishel in Bohemia.
JULY 15.—The official Journal of the 11th of this
month contains a Royal Decree, approving a convention
concluded between the Kingdom o f the Netherlands on the
one part, and the Kingdom of Sweden and Norway on the
other, for the reciprocal abolition of the Joa detractus.

The same Jourt la! publishes another Royal Decree, ap-
proving a declaration, of which a copy is given, signed "9
well by the Ambassador of the Netherlands at Stockholm,
as by the Minister for Foreign Affairs of his Majesty the
King of Sweden and Norway.
By this declaration it has been agreed that the two Go-
vernments shall, reciprocally, deliver up any sailor or other
person whatever belonging to the crew of a man of war,
or a merchantman; of either of the two States, who shall
desert in. a post situated in the dominions of the other,
without distinction between individuals born in the coun-
try to which the vessel belongs, and those born in a third
country. To avoid the loss of time which a diplomatic
correspondencewould occasion, applications on this subject
may be addressed directly to the chief authorities of the
ports and towns in which the desertion may have taken
place, their authorities are enjoined to attend to them.
JULY 1'7.--For these two days past Brussels has pre-
sented a most animated and gay scene. The inhabitants
-of the neighbouring villag-A have come from all quarters,
the hotels, inns, and coffee-honses cannot find accommoda-
tion for the crowds that besiege them : the throngs of
people in all the streets, the elegant dresses of all classes,
the joy expressed in all countenances, the confused sounds
of music, dancing, the general bustle, and the universal de-
light, excite the most agreeable reflections. • These musical
contests, •these horse-races, these exhibitions of paintings and
of flowers, are excellent political institutions, not from
their apparent -object, but from the real effects which
they produce. The musical societies. of the several cities
and towns of the kingdom, which were candidates for the

prizes, entered Brussels in procession on.the,lsthinstant.
-The public contest took place yesterday in the Park, in
which every preparation had been made for the festive oc-
casion, and which yesterday afforded a most magnificent
and delightful coup d'ceil. The performances last from
nine in the morning till eleven at night, with an interval
of two hours. Their Majesties•and the Royal Famlly.were
present for nearly three hours, and received both on their
entrance awl departure the most enthusiastic expressions
of respect and attachment. The people of Brussels never
before witnessed so- brilliant a scene. A British and a
Russian Cabinet Messenger have passed through this city,
going fenin London to St. Petersburgh with despatchts.

The astonishing versatility of Lord Chief
Justice BEST's intellect reveals itself more
beautifully every day. Having already expended
much sagacious vituperation on the Press, and
mystified the Law of Libel so effectually, that
none but himself can comprehend it, he has now
launched his thunders against the Free Trade
system. We suppose the word " Free" alarmed
the sensitive delicacy of his nerves, for what else
could have induced him in summing up a tallow
case, to expatiate. on the dangers, direct and in-
direct, of free trade ; as also to state, that he
was an old-fashioned politician.. There is a
character in SHAkSPEARE, who is much given
to saying---" I am Sir Oracle, let no man bark
when I do speak :" we suspect that the LORD
'CHIEF-JUSTICE has taken this gentleman for
his model; if so, we would beg leave to hini,
for his consideration, that an " oracle" is but
too often a Dos et preeterea nihil." If,
however; in the plenitude of his ambition, he
has an eye to the Senate as well as to the Bar,
if not content with being " a Daniel come "to
judgment, yea; a Daniel," he must also thrust
himself forward as a rival to Mr. Hos KISSON ; we
can only pity the Protean talents that are never likely
to be .appreCiated, except when they evince their
professional ingenuity in confounding truth with
falsehood, guilt with innocence, the law of reason
with the law of libel. Let Lord Chief Justice
BEST content himself with the honor of fostering
every noxious reptile that can crawl and wriggle
itself into Court, but let him not meddle with
Mr. HusKissoN. Shall the dwarf presume to
bend the bow of Ulysses?

Commodore Porter arrived at Vera Cruz on the 18th
of, May, a passenger in the sloop Greyhound, from Key
West, the object of his visit was understood to be to
.bring
the Mexian vessels of war, viz, the brigs Guerrero, Vic-
toria, and Herntonia, then lying at Vera Cruz, to. act in
concert with the Colombian squadron in pursuit of a *pa-
nish privateer said to be off Campeaehy.

A Philadelphia paper informs its readers, that there are
in that city about 400 billiard-tables, by which the science
of gambling is thoroughly learned, and will doubtless yield
a constant supply of subjects for the almshouses, gaols, and
penitentiariei.

Mr. Watts, our Charge d'Affairs in Colombia, has ad-
dressed a envious note, dated the 15th March, to President
Bolivar, alluding to the dissensions in • Colombia, and
" entreating. his return to Bogota, to save the country."—
This request is made as the Representative of the Republic
of Washington. It is presumed that Mr. Watts could
never have been authorised by our Government to adopt
such an extraordinary measure of interference with the in,-
ternal concerns of a friendly Power.

Fa°. JAmAicA.---A letter frpra Kingston, isms.itir,
iratied the 26th May, to a house in St. Jag() de Cuba,
states, that the Duke of Manchester has just intied an
order to the collector of Customs, to lay the double duties
on all articles imported after the Ist June. We learn that
the double duties refer to American produce, coming friiin
the Neutral Islands, as they continue to be called in com-
mon parlance. A measure of this kind was to he expected,
and perhaps the introduction of American produce into
the British Islands will be totally prohibited except by way
of the Canada% and Liverpool.
The Baltimore papers of the 15th ultimo, contain a
long and horrible case of piracy and murder, on board the
brigantine Cranford, Capt. H. Brightman, on a voyage
from Matanzas, with a cargo for New York. She sailed
on the 28th of May, having on board, beyond her crew,
eight passengers, four of whom (a Frenchman and three
Spaniards) rose on the crew and passengers, and in the
night of the Ist of June, and slaughtered all except three,
viz. the mate, the cook, and a French gentleman, one of
time passengers. It is a matter of congratulation to find
these monsters have been apprehended, awl will shortly
expiate their horrid crime. The pirate captain (the
Frenchman) had, however, before the guard could reach
the vessel, cut his throat.

' The Paris Papers of the 17th inst. state that a privateer,
supposed to be the General Armarico, was cruising on
the 6th instant near Bilboa, for Spanish vessels expected
from London with valuable cargoes. It is 5156 further
added, they seem well-informed of the vessels trading in the
English ports, and had good information of the time of
sailing. Nothing can more strongly depict the wretched
state of the Spanish marine than this proof of a small pri-
vateer of one gun and thirty men keeping the whole of the
northern Spanish ports in a state of alarm, whilst two
others place the coast on the south in the same deplorable
state, so much so as to cut up even their coasting trade.
Letters from Colombia of a few- days later date than
those already received have come to hand, by the New York
packet ship John Walls, arrived at Liverpool, their contents
are of an unimportant character, and do not furnish any
political intelligence of the least importance.
