At length a successor has been found to the Mar-
quis of LONDONDERRY, in the Gentleman we at first
pointed out as most likely to obtain the office; and
there is no doubt that, had it not been for„ the objec-
tions in a high quarter, he woeld have received the
appointment at least a month ago. A Privy Council
will be held this afternoon, as we announced in the
Swat of Saturday, when Mr. Caaxima will be re-
admitted a Member, and sworn into the. Office of
Principal Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.—
This is a post which the Right Hon. Gentleman filled
some years ago, and which it has always been a
favourite object of his ambition to regain.. It is not
yet known who will be appointed Governor-General
of India ; but it is thought that the Marquis of
HASTINGS may continue there another year at least.

This forenoon we received a German Mail, bring-
ing Papers to the Bth instant. An article from the
frontiers of Moldavia states, that at the fire at Jassy
4,700 houses were burnt and destroyed; and that
many hundreds of Christians of all nations have in
consequence been ruined. The following is the only
extract worth making :

till a quarter past one the next morning, passed the
following sentence (which they had been delibeliting
upon from ten till a quarter past one);—M. Guise,
the Editor of the Constitutionnel, and M. Fautillon,
the Editor of the Journal dm Commerce, were Fen-
tented (each) to one year's imprisonment, and a line
of 5,000 francs.
M. Legraaieux, the editor of the Courier Framcais,
to six months' imprisonment, and a fine of 9000
francs. M. Cassano, the editor of the Pilote, to one
month's imprisonment, and a fine of 1000 francs.
The four Journals are also forbidden to publish any
reports ;44- judicial proceedings—the two former for
the space of a year ; the third for six months ; and
the last for three months.

They are condemned in costs in nearly the same
proportion.. The two first to pay a third ; the third
two-ninths ; and the last one-ninth. The papers con-
taining the account complained of are to be seized.
This proceeding was instituted under the new law
passed in March last : the law is cruel enough in
itself, but the mode of administering it, by making a
charge of an interested party tantamount to sworn
proof, shews how ignorant our neighbours are of even
the first elements of civil liberty and criminal justice.
The papers further announce, that the four mili-
tary youths, condemned for the Rochelle conspiracy,
had omitted some formality in their withdrawal of
their appeal, u hich consequeatly could not be received.,
The Align:eine Zeitung is quoted for a letter from
Constantinople, dated the 11th, in whit it is ob-
served, that the Government of the United States,
having no relation with the Port; and never having
negotiated with that Power, has formed some con-
nexion with the Greek Senate. The American squa-
dron stationed in the Mediterranean, and which is
authorized to save the Greek emigrants in case of a
general disaster, was received on the 23d of July
with great solemnity at Hydra. The squadron is
also said to have landed a great quantity of arms and
ammunition at Hydra. Admiral TOMBASAS, who
attacked the Pacha's vessel, and other Greeks, were
pre nted to the American Commander, who congra-
tulMd them on their courage. The letter adds—
" Lord STRANGFORD appears to be jealous of this
intercourse; and it is said that he has sent agents to
Tine, Syra, and Milo, to persuade the inhabitants to
prefer the protection of England to that of America."

Advices have been received from Barcelona, dated
the 28th ult. announcing that General Toartuos had
surrounded, and shut up in the town of Cervera, si-
tuated 34 miles N. by W. of Tarragona, 600 of the
rebels, in such a manner that it was expected not a
man would escape. When the last accounts left the
camp of the Constitutionalists, they had pressed their
works so far, and gained so much ground in the
town, that the rebels had been compelled to take re-
fuge in the Jeromite Convent, and it was hourly ex-
-pected they would surrender, yawn it was the inten-1
Lion of General TORRIJOS to execute all the leaders.
On all the other points the plans of the Constitution-
alists had been so well laid, and the designs of the
rebels were so apparent, that it was expected the
cause of freedom would very soon be triumphant
throughout the whole province of Catalonia. The
Spanish man of war, San Pablo, had arrived at Barce-
lona from Cadiz, with a supply of money, arms, &c.

Advices from Halifax to the 21st ult. state, that
Sir JAMES KEMPT, the Governor of Nova Scotia,
was then absent on a tour of inspection through the
province of New Brunswick. The Commercial Acts
passed at the close of last Session, for regulating the
trade between the British possessions in America and
the West InAies, and the other parts of the world,
had arrived at Halifax, and formed the subject of
general attention. They were announced on the
15th ult. by a Proclamation issued at Halifax, to be
in immediate operation.. A duty of five shillings
the barrel on wheaten flour had been demanded oa
the cargo of an American schooner then in port.
and is described as the first levy under the new Act,
Of the policy or impolicy of these important Acts,
the Colonial Journalists scarcely venture, as yet, to
express an opinion ; but they appear to think there
has been a want of direct agency or representation of
their interests throughout their progress; and that, if
they prove ultimately beneficial, it will have been
owing solely to the liberal attention and foresight of
the Government at home. Some inconvenience, it is
evident, will arise to the province of Canada from
the new Act. It has long been supposed that a great
proportion of the flour exported from Canada Was
the production of the United States: that fact is now
broadly admitted, and it follows, therefore, from the
operation of the restrictive measures about to be
adopted,_ which prohibit the importatiou'of articles
from the States by means of the inland intercourse,
which has hitherto subsisted, will not only preclude
, the Canadians from exporting American produce,
but perhaps deprive them of a portion of their own

by the introduction of such pow* ful comp•.
into the market. The other British Colonies
however, have the.advantage of obtaining the
essential articles of consumption through the
direct and the cheapest conveyances

The horses and carriages belonging to the Emu;
which went to Edinburgh, will arrive at Carhod
House in the course of this week. Among the turn,
ber is the favourite grey charger which the Kt NG pur-
chased at Dalkeith, of the Riding,master belongiug
to the Scuts Greys.

It is confidently reported that, before the opening
of next Session, the Great Seal will be put into Com,
mission, and that the LORD CUANCRLLOR has pointed
out Mr. Leacn, Mr, Justice BAYLEY, and Mr. Barad
RICH A RDSON, as fit and proper persons for the trust.
The advantages of this arrangement will be a relief
to Lord ELDON from all, or nearly all, the judicial
duties of his great office, while it will enable him to
exercise as usual the functions of a Cabinet Minister,
and the Presidency of the House of Lords, as well as
to enjoy all the emoluments he has been in the re-
ceipt of for such a number of years past. When his
Lordship's health shall be perfectly restored, it is said,
he intends to resume his full labours as heretofore.

A Special Meeting of the Corporation of Don-,
caster was convened on Monday last by the Worship-
ful the MAYOR, to take into Consideration the pro-
priety of presenting a respectful Address to his Royal
Highness the Duke of SUSSEX! on his honouring Don-
caster Races with his presence. The MAYOR having
stated the object of the Meeting, an Address was una-
nimously voted, 'together with the Freedom of that
Borough, to be presented in a gold box, value fifty
guineas, should his Royal Highness be pleased to ac-
cept it; A Deputation was to wait upon the Royal
Duke on his arrival at the seat of M. A. TAYLOR, Esq.
Cantley, to know at what time and where he will be
pleased to receive the Address.

A letter from Zante, dated August 2, in the German
Papers, says—" The English at present hold out a
helping hand to the Greeks, and since the departure
„
Or Sir THOMAS MAITLAND, it has been observed
that the rigorous measures have ceased with his pre-
sence. At Zante an asylum has been granted to the
family of Papa Diamanto Poulos, Member of the
Senate of Corinth, and to several others who fi um the
continent at the approach of the infidels. Si,- Frederick
Adam, Governor of Corfu ad interim, who is married
to a divorced Greek Lady, gives assistance to the un-
fortunate. Thus there is a change pf policy on this
side ; but unless GOD assist the Greeks, it is to be
feared that the approaching Congress will have tode-
liberate only on ruins and tambs."
The Haymarket was crowded to excess on Satur-
day night, to witness DIBDIN'S new Opera of Mornikg,
Noon, and Night. Miss PAros sang with her usual
excellence The Afterpiece of the Liar followed,
which character was sustained by C. keMBLE to ad-
miration. There was a lucky allusion to the new Mar-
riage Act, which called forth continued bursts of
laughter and applause.

YATES, THE ACTOR.—Mr. YATES is so far recovered
from his late accident, as to have performed on Fri-
day night at the Worthing Theatre, for the benefit
of Mr. HILL, one of the Comedians of that town.
He delivered the following address to the audience:

LADIES AND Grzyszatex—Were it not for the occasion, I
'feel that some apology would be due from me, for offering myself
to your public inspection in this imitated state of repair—and evri
as it is, it were somewhat arrogant, perhaps, that 1, who am
myself needing so much support, should attempt to give assist-
ance to others. In my present state you can expect nothing but
a lame apology, and though scarcely able to keep my feet, yet
will I venture to stand the test of friendship, and run the hazard
of the sentence you may think fit to pronounce. In short, La-
dies and Gentlemen, I am determined to-night to put my best
leg foremost, when zeal, at any rate, shall supply the place of
physical ability, and earnestness for your applause carry me ass
far better than my legs. An epigram of Roscommon (if I re-
member rightly) speaking of helplessness of body rams thus—
, I am unable, yonder beggar cries,
s To stand or go ; if he says true—he lies r
No—with your permission I will sometimes sit; so make my
hearing sure by taking the chair to my own speeches, and every
order observe but the standing order, if you will consent. Ladies
and Gentlemen, on this footing I will set off—but that you may
travel with better convenience, I wiU supply you with the best
stage coach I am able to procure, and built expressly after
Mathews's Patent,' by which most of you may have travelled some
time or other, in the best of humours, and with the most plea-
sant company. Yet I must confess, Ladies and Gentlemen, that
it is somewhat extraordinary that I should offer to you a con-
veyance by a vehicle, which is not only • at home,' but never
moves front it. But the patent shall be immediately disclosed,
and I venture to hope, that when, at last, I may set you down,
you will be pleased to remember the driver I"
Mr. YATES then recited a very entertaining Me-
kap, after the manner of MATHEWS, which was very
highly applauded.
