Although the forms of proceeding, and the subjects
to be discussed, will be agreed upon at Vienna, yet it
is supposed that the Congress at Verona will not be
opened until the Ist of October. It seems doubtful
whether any other Sovereigns than the Emperors of
RUSSIA and AUSTRIA will be present; indeed, except
the Kii:g of PRUSSIA, there is scarcely a Monarch on
the Continent .that could be expected to possess any
influence there, and the interests of FREDERICK are
not likely to be affected by any new arrangements
that may be formed. The accounts from Berlin evi-
dently manifest a reluctance on the part of that Go-
vernment to interfere with other States, the KING,
perhaps, feeling that he has quite enough to do to
keep his own subjects quiet.
The French Funds are said to have fallen consider-
ably, in consequence of a report that England was
likely to interpose Ler influence at the approaching
Congress, to prevent all interference with Spain and
Portugal. Most happy, indeed, shall we be to find
such report veil founded; the'Powers of Russia and
Austria, s.itla France to boot, may then proclaim,
enact, and decree, what they will, the Peninsula will
have nothing to fear from them.
A declaration on the part of England, in favour
of the Constitutional system in Spain and Portngal,
would seal the happiness of those countries, and give
an eclat to the new ministry of Mr. CANNING of more
'value than the success of our arms-or the conquest
of a kingdom : since it would be a triumph of prin-
ciple which would emit our national character.—
Mr. CANNING we know to be ambitious of fame, and
we can assure him there is not a more certain way
to attain it than by using his influence in the British
Cabinet, to prevent the liberties of Spain, Portugal,
and Greece, from being bartered away or attacked
by the Holy Alliance; for that such was the princil
pal object in calling the Congress we are convinced,
thlugh the parties may perhaps be scared from their
purpose for the present. •

The French Papers of Wednesday bring very gra.
tifying intelligence from Spain. The " Army of the
Faith," alias the band of rebels, tinder QUESA DA, has
been completely defeated by the Constitutional troops;
and it is said that, being suspected of treachery by
his own soldiers, he has been bound hand and foot,
and con!e)ed to the fort of hairy, to have him tried
as a traitor. This intelligence is conveyed in letters
from Bayonne, Oleron, and St. Jean Pied de Port, of
the 10th, 11th, and 12th, and is so far considered
authentic in Paris as to be inserted in the Minis-
terial Journals. One of these letters gives the follow-
ing account of this affair
" It is at Sanguesca, quite close to Inca, that thel
factious have been completely beaten. Sizty.mules,
laden with ammunition, haie been taken. Besides
this advantage, the Constitutionalists obtained one of
still greater importance, the day after, over the corps
which had marched towards laca. The soldiers of
the Army of the Faith,unwilling to credit the cowardice
of their Chiefs, called out that they were betrayed.
Nearly 1,000 of them joined the ranks of the Consti-
tutionalists ; many others retired to their respective
homes. General Espinosa had arrived at Pamplona
on the Gth inst. having been preceded by a division
of five or 6,000 good and experienced troops. He.
was preparing to march against the factious who
might still hold out in the Basque Provinces. All the
roads of Spain are covered with troops approaching
the frontier. • Military movements continue on that
of France. The formation of a camp of 40,000 men,
and the arrival of 15,000 at Bayonne, are announced
for the 22d inst. Provisions and ammunition of all
kinds have been collected for a large army, which is
now completing with the greatest activity."
An article of the Ist inst. from Lisbon announces,
that the expedition against Bahia, escorted by a ship
of the line and several smaller vessels, and convey-
ing 1,200 troops, was to set sail on the Sd. The
tortes have addressed a conciliatory Proclamation
to the Brazilian People, in which they abjure the
idea of force to maintain the union between the two
countries, and wish it to rest on a community of in-
terests, of rights, and of laws.
The news flora the East is gratifying, and slims
that the affairs of the Greeks are not so hopeless as
their enemies would have us believe. The following
Bulletins relate to transactions in another quarter,
and of a much more recent date than the much dis-
puted events in Thessaly:

defeated in his calculation, came to attack us here. The con-
test lasted about two hours. The Turks were repulsed on all
points; with the greatest loss they regained their posts in disorder.
" The next day, August 9, the enemy, who had no other al-
ternative, resolved to force a passage, whatever it might cost.—
Tchar Hadji Ali encouraged his troops to do their duty, and put
himself at the head of his cavalry ; but this Intrepid Pacha pe-
rished in the foremost ranks. His troops fought with the courage
of despair. At the height of the battle a confused murrain- was
heard from the enemy's ranks. Almon (quarter), they cried.
Let us go away; we only desire to quit the Morea.' Three
thousand Turks remained on the field; the number of the
wounded and of prisoners is not yet known exactly.
" About two thousand horse, all the baggage and ammunition,
and the military chest, were the booty of this day's battle. The
enemy is closely pursued towards Corinth.
" P.S. Capt. Vidale, who brought these Bulletins, assures us
that till the 18th of August, the day of his departure from
Spezzia, new and more circumstantial details were continually
received of the advantages gained by the Greeks. Everything
proves that the Turkish army is in the most desperate position,
and the news of its total destruction was every moment expected.
He says, that going to Argos, on the 12th of August, on his pri-
vate affairs, he had an interview with the Viet-President, Kana-
kara. When they were together, a Mainote came, and brought
the head of the Commander-in-Chief, Tchar Hadji Ali Pacha.—
It was known by two large scars on both sides of the face, and
his long beard."
An article from Vienna announces, what we stated
two days ago, the arrival of the Emperor of RUSSIA
in that capital,with a suite More numerous than usual.
It appears that at the approaching Congress of Mi-
nisters, as well as at that of Aix-la-Chapelle, Prince
METTERNICH Will, in some measure, perform the
functions of President. The departure of the two
Emperors for Italy will not, it is said, take place be-
fore the middle of September. By this way of reckon-
ing, the Congress will not open till the beginning of
October. An order has been sent to the Austrian
Authorities in Italy, to prepare as quickly as possible
at Verona, lodgings for the Princes and Ministers
about to assemble in Congress. Great quantities of
precious furniture bare been sent from Vienna to
Trieste, fur the purpose of being transported thence,
by the way of Venice, to Verona. In proceeding to
Italy, the Emperor FRANCIS will have an interview
with the King of BAVARIA, which was to take place
before this, but which has been put off until this
opportunity.
The French Government continues its tyrannical
proceedings against the liberty of the Press. The
responsible Editor of the Constitutionnel has been
cited before the Judge of Instruction, and has under-
gone an interrogatory on the 'subject of the account
of the debates in the affair of Rochelle, for which he
has already been condemned to one year's imprison-
ment and a fine of 5,000 francs. Thus, on the one,
hand, has the Editor been subjected to the operation
cf a special and exceptionable Legislation, while, on
the other, he has had a second proceeding instituted
against him,in the ordinary form,upon the same charge.
A letter published by M. BENJAMIN CONSTANT, in
answer to the charges made against him by the AT.
TORNEY-GENERAL in his speech before the Court
Royal of Poitiers, has been seized by order of the
Police at all the booksellers. The four Officers found
capitally guilty in the affair of La Rochelle, have
been induced by their Advocates to persist in their
appeal to the Court of Cassation.
The Quotidienne, an Ultra Journal, displays the
cloven foot of the French Ministry rather auk-1
wardly. Speaking of the disposition shewn by the
soldiers, whose time of service had expired, to re-en-
list, the Editor uses this remarkable, if nut ominous
expression : " The eagerness which our soldiers dis,
Play to remain under standards which they are soon
perhaps destined to render again illustrious, proves the
confidence to which our warriors are entitled, and
their fidelity." Against whom is then war to be de-
clared? It might probably be against Spain, if the
Constitutionalists were not at present triumphant.
ROUEN CATHEDRAL.
The following additional particulars of the de-
struction of the cathedral at Rouen, are communi-
cated in a letter from that city, dated the 16th inst.
the day after the fire :
"At half-past five o'clock of the 15th., an electric

Saps of thunder were heard; the last, more terrible
