Matta, and having only two de-ad bodie
whether these Acts were pcsiduced by
moo, or of the dements, is not amid.
the same soorce, that as taglish •
tabich arrived at Leghorn on t}
days &om Stny'rna, was

port by two Greek boat:,

Captain was stripped of every thing, with the excep•
tion of the shirt he had on at the time, and a pair
of breeches. Though our indignation at this savage
act of inhumanity is such as it ought to be, yet our sur-
prise is much greater that it should have taken place so
near a port where we should suppose there woold be
always found a sufficiently effective force to proton the
extensive trade which is carried on between'it and this
country.
It would appear from the following article, that the
French have no great cause to boast of the manner in
which they blockade Algiers, and that it will be long
before they become a formidable Power at sea :

" LEGHORN. JULY 11.
" The Sardinian ship Fortuna has arrived here in 14
days from Algiers. The Captain was not hindered in
coming out : he saw a ship of the line ;nd two frigates
cruising at a great distance. The Algerine frigate, and
with it 5 corsairs, had sailed out without any hindrance."

We also received this morning Frankfort Papers to
the 24th, but their contents are destitute of interest,
with the exception of an article under the bead of
Vienna, 17th July, which furnishes a new illustration
of the mole-eyed policy of that Cabinet. Under the
pretence of preventing an undue increase of stu-
dents, the Aulic Committee of Studies has given
public notice, that the young men, who pass from
the principal school into the first grammatical class
must undergo a strict previous examination, to
alcertain whether they possess the capacity requi-
site for a learned education. The absurdity of
this regulation is equal to its tyrannical tendency, as
every one moo be aware, who knows how slow the de-
velopment of the mental faculties is in some persons.
But it is of a piece with the general spirit and practice
of the Austrian Government; and, if that Government,
in its rage against popular educatran, does not dis-
gust the great body of its subjects, and excite in them
' a love of knowledge, proportioned to its efforts to
repress it, we can only say that there is nothing
certain in human experience, and that history a a mere
tissue of tables. In trying to avoid evils, which may
be imaginary after all, it is clearly preparing for itself
a host of real calamities, which will probably surprise
it, when it is least prepared to meet them.

Calcutta Papers were received this morning at the
North and South American Coffee-house. The fol-
lowing is from the Johx Bull of the 20th February :
" By the Bombay Merchant, which arrived on the
22d, Mr. Crawfurd and most'of the Gentlemen attached,
to his mission to Ave, have returned to the Presidency.
We have received several communications of much in-

serest, which we hope shortly telly before our Readers.'

The accounts brought by the Bombay Merchant
from the New Settlement of Amherst extend to the 9th

of this month, and from Rangoon to the end of July.
The cantonments have been nearly completed; and on
the 26th and 27th of January, the 45th Regiment
crossed the river and occupied the barracks. The re-
port of Rangoon being in possession of the Taliens
proves to be premature; but the whole of Lower Peso
is in a state of insurrection and anarchy. MAONONAT,
of Syrians, has assumed the title of King, and mounted
the White Umbrella—the standard of Royalty.
Letters to the9th of March, from Calcutta, state that
Mr. CAMPULL had returned to Calcutta from his mis-
sion to Ava, accompanied by Mr. Goonosa, who was
one of three Europeans supposed to have been astir-
dered by the Burmese at the beginning of the war. It
is stated in these letters that Rangoon has been taken
from the Burmese by a Native Power.

We have received a file of Mexican Papers, contain-
ing the PRICSIDUNT'II Message on the closing of the ordi-
nary Session of the Congress, on the 21st of May.—
Happily that new and rising State is tranquil at home,
and at peace with all the world, with the single excep-
tion of Spain, who cannot, however, molest her; there-
fore the Message, though long, presents few topics of
general interest.• These few we shall insert, as they
present themselves; and those which relate to the rela-
tions between this country and the Republic, will be
perused with a satisfaction, no doubt equivalent to the
high esteem in which the British people and Govern-
ment are held in that quarter of the world. Atter
some general observations, the President OVADALOOPK
UCCUORIA says

"The relations which have for some Huse elisted between the
Government of his Btitannic Majesty and that of the Republic,
have been strengthened in the. period which has elapsed of the cur-
rent year. Our Charge d'Affaires in that kingdom personally con-
veyed the treaty of friendship, navigation, and commerce, happily
concluded by the Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipoten-
tiary of the Republic. This treaty, which was signed at London on
the 26th of last December. was duly approved by the Chambers,
and being ratified by the Government, Is DOW sent back for the ex-
change of the ratifications. The people will bless you for having
brought to a close this interesting negotiation, which must have so
important an isdluence on the advancement of our credit throughout
the civilised world. We are promised a Minister Plenfpotentlary
on the return of the treaty ; and the Minister Plenipotentiary of
the Mexican Republic, opportunely appointed, will enjoy that
highly honourable rank in the capital of the nation which possesses
so muck inilluenCe over the destinies of Europe. Meanwhile the Bri-
tish Secretary of Legation continues here authorised as Charge
d'Affaires, and the Mexican Government has conferred the same
'character DR its agent in London.' •

The PRESIDENT next alludes to the state of the rela-
tions of the Republic with Fiance. The agent of the
Republic had been admitted by the Government of his
Most Christian Majesty, but various important points
,were to be settled by the Mesicau Envoy Estraordi

will be concluded 4 soon as possible. In reference to
Pero, it is said.— —_. •

Mexico is described as happily united by conformity
of interests with all the other American States. Tae
President is of opinion that there is no longer any pro-
bability of Spain renewing her desperate attempts

against America. The credit of Mexico with foreign
natians maintains a superiority over the new Re-
publics., It is stated to be proved by the Report of the
Minister of Pittance, which was presented to the Cgam.

EneLlia THEATRE AT PAIIIL--...The Manager, U.
Lawman*, has obtained permission of the French Go.
vernment to use the Theatre Favant alternately with
the Italian Comedians. The delay which has arisen
since M. LAURENT received permission, has been caused
by the permission being given at first for the Theatre
Chantererne; but it was soon ascertained that it was
impossible to adapt this place to the obj-ct of represent-
ing the best English tragedies in a proper manner. It
became, therefore, necessary to obtain some other
theatre. The company will be worthy of the excellent
place assigned them, M. LAURZNT having entered into
an agreement with the most distinguished performers
of London, who will come over to Paris, in succession,
to exhibit their powers. Mr. ABBIT, late of Covent
Garden Theatre, is to be the Stage Manager for M.
Lauantor.
The noble equestrian figure of King CHARLES, at
Chstring.cross, was executed by La Solute. It was cast
in 1633, in a spot of ground near the church of Co-
vent Garden ; and not being erected before the coin-
Mencement of the civil war, it was sold by the Parlia-
ment to JOHN River, a brazier in Holborn, with
strict orders to break it its pieces. But he produced
some fragments of old brass, and concealed the statue
and holm under ground until the Restoration. It was
placed in its present situation in the year 1678, at the
expense of the Crown:
