LONDON,
FRIDAY EVENING, AUGUST 17, 1827.

Hie MAJESTY has sent for Mr. HERRIES,
who proceeded this morning to Windsor.

We had neither time nor space yesterday to
give full vent to the feelings excited by the sad
occasion that immortalized the day. The mo-
ment when the funeral solemnities are paid to
departed worth, always adds sensibly to the
bitterness of the loss. Till that period, the
priiation does not seem altogether com-
plete. The heavenly spark, though it has
fled for ever, appears still to linger among
the mortal and fading lineaments which it in-
formed and animated ; and it is only when the
material tenement is finally removed to its gloomy
repository, that we feel that the very twilight of
life, has expired, and that all is darkness.
The scene must, at any rate, have been inex-
pressibly affecting, which consigned the e-
l''ains of Mr. CANNING to the grave.—
tut to watch their entrance into the mighty
and magnificent cemetery which enshrines
the precious dust of almost all the departed
411 d canonized genius of England,—to be-
hold theta followed, with bitter and heart-
Wrung tears, by Princes, by Nobles, by States-
Men, by Senators, by the true and honest and
loyal English people,—all this formed such a
concentration of affecting images and associa-
tions, as no feeling,—no imagination, could
resist. The past and the present,—the dead
end the living,—were crowded together into a
picture equally grand, touching, and melancholy.
Amidst this scene, those well-known lines :
" Ne'er to these chambers where the mighty rest,
Since their foundations, came a nobler guest,"
could not but occur to the memory ; but there
is one view in which they applied to the occasion
with peculiar emphasis. In the vaults beneath
that awful pile,---Statesmen, and Orators and
Poets and Sages,—men of action and men of
Literature,—men of gay wit and men of grave
counsel,—lie promiscuously entombed ; but per-
haps no genius could have claimed kindred with
a greater number of those honored and conse-
crated names, than that of GEORGE CANNING.
All the lightest and all the heaviest enginery
of intellectual power,—its missile and its
manual weapons,--its vigour and its hard-
ness and its polish,—its weight and its point
and its fire,—were never so completely, so harmo-
niously, so beautifully, collected together within
the armoury of a single mind.

With astonishment we have witnessed at-
tempts to depreciate his oratory. To say that
be did not altogether attain to the deep-toned
Majesty of PITT, or the vehement passion of
Fox, or the comic spirit of SHERIDAN, or the
unearthly philosophy of BURKE, is only to say
that he did not realise that ideal perfection of
eloquence which CICERo vainly sought,
even in the pages of his idolized model,
I)EmosTHRNEs. Of Mr. CANNING it may
suffice to observe, that his single genius ena-
bled him nearly to rival each of those great
Masters of parliamentary debate in his own pe-
culiar style of excellence ; and that to this
assemblage of qualities, he added a degree of
classical grace and elegance altogether his ONVII.
If not properly the greatest, he was un-
doubtedly the most finished, orator of modern
times. His reasoning was as exquisite as his wit.
He was the charmer that charmed wisely." At
the commencement of a speech his style was,
perhaps, somewhat too measured, and his delivery
Partook of mannerism. But all this presently
disappeared. As lie grew warm, he seemed light-
cd like a figured vase of exquisite beauty.
When fully in intellectual action, his head, his
figure, his movements, became a model for
sculpture. His features were beautifully chissel-
led, and his voice was pusic.-
That man is the true orator who is great on a
great occasion. The last of Mr. CANNING'S
first-rate efforts was his reply on the question
respecting the recent invasion ofPortugal by Spain.
i\T
"e will ever forget that exhibition who witnessed

it. None will ever conceive it who witnessed it not.
He stood that day in the place and the attitude
of the chosen and cherished representative of
England's greatness and glory, and he rose to
the full sublimity of the character. The calm-
ness of his brow—the lightning of his eye—the
unaffected earnestness and unlaboured dignity of
his manner—the magic of his tones—the elo-
quent blood which flushed his pallid cheek,—the
electric effect of his sentiments, full fraught with
a good sense, and warm with a fire, and a feeling
that went home to every English heart,—such
were the elements of that memorable speech ;
and over the whole was thrown such an air of
undescribable grace as no other speaker pos-
sessed ;—a veil of fapcy and eloquence, which
seemed to invest his argument as lightly and as
floatingly as the mantle of an angel.

But we must not indulge those fond recollec-
tions. He is gone ; and rather than dwell on a
favourite image, let us call on those on whom
shall devolve the deep responsibility of conduct-
ing that government which he formed, to emu-
late his public principles, his energy, his pa-
triotism, his devotedness to the duties of his high
vocation. May they resemble him in all but the
premature close of hi: career of glory I Then
will their country write their names on the same
page with that which his memory emblazons ;
and the friends who shall one day mourn their
loss, will be solaced by reading their history in
the overflowing eyes of a nation.

The Paris Papers of Tuesday, and the Gazette
de France dated Wednesday, arrived last night,
and possess more interest than usual since the
establishment of the rigid Censorship which now
exists. The intelligence which they furnish from
Lisbon comes down only to the 30th of .Tuly,
but it spews clearly that although tranquillity was
apparently restored in the Capital, it was con-
sidered that description of calm which forbodes
a storm. The dismissal of SALDANHA was
expected to produce a strong sensation in Oporto
and the Provinces, the re-action of which would
in all probability renew the popular feeling in
Lisbon, where dissatisfaction and distrust per-
vade every class. Even Count VILLA FLOR
has lost his well earned popularity by his conduct
during the recent disturbances, having, it is said,
treated the assemblages of people as the Canaille,
although it is asserted they were principally corn-
posed of the 'Elite of the City. In fact the in-
telligence respecting affairs in Lisbon is such as
to confirm the opinion we have often expressed,
that without some very decisive measures are
speedily taken—a scene olanarchy and bloodshed
will inevitably ensue. This will be expedited
by the conduct of the Court of Madrid, who
will make the recent commotion a Pretext for
moving the Army of Observation to the
Frontier of Spain. Letters from. Madrid men-
tion that such will be the case ; and coupling
this intelligence with the observations of the
French Papers on the probable effect of the death
of Mr. CANNING on the affairs of the Penin-
sula, and their inference that the return of DON
MIGIJEL will restore " the ancient order of
things," we have no doubt that Spain is about
to renew all her previous demonstrations against
Portugal, and will ultimately carry her interfe-
rence in the affairs of that kingdom farther than
mere demonstration. The policy of Great
Britain will not, however, be changed by the
death of her Minister, and the Administration
of Lord GODERICH will protect the integrity of
Portugal with the same fidelity to ancient treitties
and regard for the liberties of mankind as dis-
tinguished the Administration of our late la-
mented Premier.
The Gazette de France contains an article
dated St. Petersburgh, July 28, which entirely
discredits the reports of a speedy conclusion of
peace between Russia and Persia, and presages
rather its long duration. Blame is attached to
General YERMOLOFF, who, we presume, will
in consequence take up his future residence in
Siberia. The Gazette de France also contains
a letter to the Editor, recommending the actual
conquest of the Barbary States and their coloni-
zation by - France. The observations of the
Editor are not of a character to banish the, sup-
position that such an extraordinary idea does not
exist, but they would rather lead to a contrary
inference. At all events the appearance of such
a proposition in the Government paper is re-
markable,"though it can scarcely be credited that
France would undertake an enterprise so pre-
posterous in itself, and so objectionable to other
States. Extracts of these papers are given in
another column, and we subjoin the price of the

We received last night Brussels papers to the
15th of August, and make the following extracts
from them : .

BRUSSELS, Auc. 1 I Russian Cabinet Messenger
passed through this city last night, on his way from St.
Petersburgh to London, with despatches.
An Austrian Cabinet Messenger passed through this
morning, coming from London, with despatches for Vienna.
His Majesty's ship of the line the Kortenar, Captain
Bloemendaal, bound to Batavia, is to sail from the Helder
on the 28th of this month.
AUG. I.—Since the official announcement of the 9n-
elusion of the Concordat, every body endeavours to divine
the contents of it. Some say the number of Bishoprics is
doubled ; that Liege is erected into an Archbishopric ; that
the Prince Archbishop of Malines is to have the dignity of
Cardinal ; that a Nuncio will reside at our Court ; that the
Philosophical College will subsist only for the past, which
does not concern the branches of learning that are purely eccle-
siastical ispa 9thcri bay, tlicfe are only two my NwApprico,

Brigs and Bois le Due ; that there is no intention of having
an Archbishop at Liege; that the Philosophical College will
be preserved entire, nay, as a faculty of divinity, with great
privilege for those who shall take their degrees in it ; that all
this will be arranged in concert with the Bishop ; that the
latter will be allowed to retain the great seminaries, and to
teach theology, but without privileges for those who shall
study in them. It is added, that there is no ►=iention of
re-establishing the little seminaries, and that the Concor-
dat says nothing of the primary schools or religious houses,
&e. These reports may be considered as all equally un-
founded.

AUGUST 12.—A British Cabinet Messenger passed
thrones this city yesterday afternoon on his way from Con-
stantinople to London, with despatches.
Col. Jones, Aide-de-Camp to the Duke of Wellington,
arrived on the 10th at Ghent, and immediately inspected
the works of the new citadel. On the same day he went
to Termonde for the same purpose. It is supposed that
the Duke of Wellington will arrive at Ghent in a few days
to make his annual tour, to inspect the fortresses, unless
the death of Mr. Canning should snake any alteration.
"AUGUST 13.—The health of her Majesty is satisfac-
tory. The fracture is in.a favourable state, and promises
a happy termination.—No more bulletins will be published
for ten days.

STOCKHOLM, JULY 81.-It is said that the King will
go to Christiania to close the Storthing in person, and that
that Assembly will be convoked for an extraordinary Ses-
sion next year, to reconsider several Resolutions made this
Session.

Extract of a letter from Madrid, dated the 3d
of August : .

The Ministers are at present occupied iu arranging a
Treaty of Commerce with the Ottoman Porte. I wrote
you concerning the failure of Urionabuena, it is said he
will obtain an order from the King for a delay of payment.
One of our Archiveques and a Bishop have also obtainsd
from the King a delay for making payment; these two
Prelates had in circulation a considerable number of bills
of exchange, with their acceptances on them, to provide
funds for the use of the Apostolic party in their late
designs on Portugal, but when they became due,
they bad no money to discharge the same. I
do not know what foundation there is for the
report, that the Army of Observation has received orders
to approach the frontiers of Portugal ; but it is certainly
true that the late letters from Portugal are rather alarm-
ing. The Army of Observation still remains concen-
trated in the same cantonments; although the Government
are very urgent in sending troops to Carthagena and
Arragon, they still have some fear to divide the army....._
Orders have been sent to the 6th and Bth regiments of the
line, which are in Andalusia, to proceed by forced marches
to Catalonia; and the Ist regiment to proceed to Arragon.
Zamhrano has also given orders to the Inspector-General of
the militia to put four regiments under arms.

We received this morning the Journal de
St. Petersburgh of the 31st nit. It contains an
Imperial Ukase to the Senate, granting a full and
honourable discharge to Count CAPO DISTRIA
from the Russian service. The news from the
Army in Georgia possesses little interest :

ST. PrTERSBURGH, JULY 30.
His Majesty the Emperor has been pleased to address
the followinc, Ukase to the Directing Senate :
" In conformity with the wish which has been expressed
to us by our Privy Counsellor Count Capo d'lstria, we
have consented to give him his full and entire discharge
from our service. It is agreeable to us on this occasion to
testify to him our entire gratitude for the enlightened zeal
with which he has discharged his functions, for his de-
votedness to the interest and glory of Russia, and for his
attachment to our beloved brother, the late Emperor Alex-
ander, of glorious memory, whose confidence he al ways
fully justified. We take pleasure in assuring him by these
presents of our invariable regard.
" Signed by his Imperial Majesty's own hand,

The George the Fourth steam-boat arrived here yester-
day at seven o'clock in the evening. It sailed from London
on the 20th of July, and has consequently been nine days
on the voyage, having stopped two clays at Copenhagen and
Christiansand to take in passengers.
A communication by steam-boats has been established
between Odessa and Chersen.
up to the 25th of this month '78.2• vessels had arrived at
Cronstadt—sailed 4GB.
NEWS FROM THE ARMY IN GEORGIA.

Colonel Schepkopff, who had been detached to cut off
the retreat of Ilassan Khan, discovered on the 12th (24t1►)
June au inconsiderable body of the enemy, which fled
towards Sardar-Abad as soon as it was attacked by the
Cossacks. It was found that Hassan Khan had reached
Sardar-Abad by crossing the mountains in the night, and
that he had afterwards retired toward. the Araxes. Col.
Schepkopff returned to Etchmiadzine.
Major-General Baron Rosen, who arrived on the 26th
June witl► the 2d brigade of Hulaus, reports that he had
advanced as far as Beach Abarane, but that his scouts had
no where met with the enemy.

The camp of the detachments which bad been placed in
Karabagh, near Duschksane, has been removed to the
gardens of Djibrail, situated five wersts to the north of
Pekhli-Tchikar.—The troops and the convoy continue to
advance : all the latter have arrived safe in the Garnitchai.
On the 30th June all the troops would again sat out, and
then advance without stopping.
Lieut.-General Korganoff, who had been sent towards
Lake Golitcha by Gen. Paskewitch, reports, that the 1300
Nomade families, whom he found assembled, heard with
joy that they bad been taken under the protection of his
Majesty the Emperor; and adds that part of them are
already removing into our territory.

The Allgemeine Zeitung, of the 10th inst.,
received this morning, contains the following ob-
servations, from Odessa, upon the convention en-
tered into by the leading powers for the pacifica-
tion of Greece :

ODESSA, JULY 26.

The affairs of the East assume now a more serious aspect
since the publication of the convention between England,
Russia, and France, for the pacification of Greece, (the
outlines of which we gave in the Algol:eine Zeitung two
months ago). The object of it is to put an end to the effu-
sion of blood in Greece, and we are therefore drawing near
to the time when this noble end will be attained in the
manner laid down, and in spite of the protest of the Divan.
At Constantinople no hopes are entertained that the Porte
will accede to the conditions to be proposed to it, though
the European agents at Pera still seem •to flatter them-
selves with this expectation. The stipulations made at
Akermann, which were founded on previous treaties, did
not, in our opinion; by any means so nearly affect the
essence of the right of sovereignty as the treaty of 6th July,
1827. It is, therefore, not to be wondered at, if the
Divan, under the present circumstances, shows an inclina-
tion to execute the convention of Akermann-. But the con-
vention fer the pacification of Greece, which has, besides
the great advantages for the European Powers, that a land
war shall be avoided, affects the dearest interests of the
Porte and the ancient prejudices of Mahometanism in such
a manner, that .the Porte will undoubtedly resist as long
as possible. Whether it possesses strength equal to such a
resistance, may be well doubted. Every body, therefore,
is curious for the issue of an undertaking, by which the
Gordian knot shall be unravelled without the help of the
sword.

A coternporary of yesterday evening, after
stating that the intelligence copied from the American
Papers, giving an account of a serious aff:ir as having
occurred at Lintin between some English and Ame-
rican boats and the Chinese, on the Ist of March, in
which a loss of several lives took place, proceeds to
contradict the whole as a complete fabrication to raise
the price of .tea • and further states, that two Captains
,
who sailed on the 6th of March from Lintin, had been in-
terrogated, and who stated no such occurrence had taken
placed. Now if the writer had referred to the article itself,
he would have found that no date is given when this fracas
took place, and that the letter which gives the
account, is dated from Lintin, on the 20th March,
frOm which it may be fairly deduced that the information
may still be substantially correct, without impugning the
veracity of the two captains in question, as a period of
fourteen days between the 6th and 20th took place, in
which period the event might have happened ; and if so,
it may not have unimportant effects on the parties engaged
in trade with these singular people and their Government.
FROM CIIINA.—A letter from an Officer of an Ame-
rican vessel at Lintin, dated March 20, 1827, gives a
disagreeable account of a battle between five American
and English boats and two Chinese Mandarin boats,
one of them a man of war's launch. It appears that the
Chinese took, in their own waters, an American pass-boat,
Witich was cowing ti9wri with 9icro to thc, Americo ;lip

Citizen, of New York, to proceed to Canton. That on
this the American and British boats went in pursuit of
them.; and, when they approached, the Chinese assailed
them by a fire of muskets and stones ; that the English
and Americans returned the attack, and succeeded in re-
taking the pass-boat. That it was reported that two of
the Mandarins were killed, and 20 Chinese wounded
in the affair, and that two men of their opposers were
slightly hurt by the stones. It is added, that three or four
Chinese vessels of war were lying at Until), and thirty
more said to be coming down from town ; that the Ame-
rican and English vessels were lying with their guns double
shotted ready for battle ; and that it was expected that the
event would stop business for some time at Wampoa. The
parties in this affair certainly exercised much spirit ; bnt
the transaction appears to be a violation of neutral rights,
which would not be submitted to in the Delaware or the
Thames.--Columbian Sentinel, July 18..

Papers from Trinidad to the 4th ult. have
been received at the North and South American Coffee
House. Sir Benjamin D'Urban, his Lady and suite, landed
on Sunday, June 24, at the King's wharf, from the army brig
Duke of Yore, when they were received with the usual
honours, and immediately proceeding in his Excellency
the Governor's carriage, to Saint Ann's. Sir Benja-
min commenced his inspections on the 25th, with
the 86th Regiment, stationed on this island. By a
recent General Order, the whole of the first division
of the militia forces are to parade on the first Sunday
of the month, as formerly, to commence on the Ist July,
on which day his Excellency Sir B. d'Urban reviewed
them on the Upper Savannah, facing his residence at
at Saint 'Ann's. Upon this occasion the corps mustered
strong, and in their usual cleanly and soldierlike state,
and formed a respectable and imposing line ; after
going through several movements with great precision
and steadiness, Sir Benjamin addressed the Col.-Comman-
dant Corrie, expressing the highest satisfaction at the whole
division, its general appearance and state of discipline, and
concluded by thanking the Colonel, for the very interesting
field-day he had afforded them.

THE FUNDS-(THIS DAY).

CITY, TwBL PR o' CL ocr.

About an. hour before the close of business at the
English Stock Exchange yesterday a number of re-
ports were in circulation, not one of which could
be traced to any authentic source, but they had the
effect on the price of Consols which the propa-
gators desired:llod they fell nearly 1 per cent. ; they
were done as low as 88/ 1, after having been 89/
in the early part of the day, and closed at 881. This
morning the first price was 88f for money, 88a
for account, and 88i 9 for October, and they are
now rather higher, being 89a for account, and 89 6
for October. India Bonds are 92 4, and Exchequer
Bills, 59 60 pm.
Little business has been doing in the Foreign
Funds; Colombian, 31 f; Mexican are heavy, being
68i 4. The Mexican Financial statement, given in
a morning paper to-day, has occasioned some sur-
prise in the City, and it is justly observed that
a very pretty picking hangs to the agencies con-
nected with the Foreign Loans. It remains to
be seen how the house alluded to will rebut
the statement. It can create no wonder at the
difficulty the different States find to meet the pay-
ments of the dividends, when the sum received is
clogged with such enormous charges under the head
of Commission, Agency, &c. Russian Stock is a
little lower, at 9G-?-, 7. In Shares, Braiilian Mines
are 13 14 pm.; Real del Monte Shares are nominally
quoted at par 20 pm.
The report in the City is that several of the new
arrangements of the Ministry will appear in this
Evening's Gazette : it is also strongly believed that
the return of the Duke of Wellington to the Corn-
mander-in-Chiefship, is positively settled, but that
it is without a seat in the Cabinet. There are doubts,
however, of its being ameng the appointments to
be officially announced this evening.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALL'S.—Aco. 1(3.

The absence of all the leading members of the Turf at
Goodwood Races occasioned the betting- to be unusually
dull yesterday—indeed, there was not any business dune.
The result of one of the Stakes there was so totally unex-
pected by the betting men, that large sums were lost by
those who are not often found on the wrong side, and the
betting on the St. Leger is likely to be considerably af-
fected by it. Mameluke'and Granby continue neck and
neck, and all the others are in state quo.

terday, but was expected to be got off.

THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) '

CORN EXCHANGE.

There are still small supplies of English Corn, but
another good arrival of Foreign Oats. The Wheat Trade
remains dull, at the same terms as Monday last. Barley is
so little in demand, that last quotations can hardly be sup-
ported for this article. Beaus and Pease are unaltered.
Oats find very few buyers, and, while the best samples
maintain the terms of Monday, other kinds may be pur-
chased rather lower. Flour sells very heavily.
