FROM THE NATIONAL JOURNAL.

The General Congress of the United Provinces of Rio
de la Plata have lately declared the city of Buenos Ayres,
together with a small district immediately round it, the
capital of the nation. This measure caused great uneasi-
ness, and gave rise to strong opposition in that city, as
it was imprudently adopted without the previous sanc-
tion of the Provincial Legislature, the dissolution of
whieh body was involved therein. The newly-elected
Resident of the Republic, Rivadavia, and his Minibter,
Aguero, were sufficiently popular in the House to
carry the plan through with a considerable majority.

By the arrival of the steamboat from Frederictown,
great fears were entertained that another alarming fire
would take place in that town, the woods in that ♦i-
cinity being all on fire, and the wind blowing directly
on that town.

We refer our Readers to an affecting recital in
another column. There is so much real English feeling
in its composition—honest and unadorned—se much of
good intention, and such a desire to if be honest in the
worst of times," that it will find an echo in the hearts
of all who read it. Ere this, the writer is in possession
of dm information which he sought, by the publication
of the Report on Emigration—a measure which, if
fairly acted upon, is calculated to raise the drooping
spirits, and brighten the prospects of thousands of our
deserving fellow-creatures, who would gladly prefer
even expatriation to pauperism.

THE BEAUTY OF CLYDE.

w the wild flowers of Autumn were drooping and dying,
I came m tin beautiful place of my birth;
11 ad I thought it, amidst its vent valley heida lying,
ne loveliest spot on the face of the earth.
0! dear 'twas to me, when an infant I gambord
Along the bright shores where the pure waters glide;
Bet dearer by far, when a youth there I rambled,
And met with my Alary....the beauty of Clyde !
01 sweet were the hopes on my mind that were beaming
In the season of childhood-..i0 life's budding spring—
When, a stranger on earth, I delighted in dreaming
On days of enjoyment the future would bring!
Bet sweeter by far was the promise of pleasure
Ia the visions of love that arose on each side,
When in youth I discovell my heart's dearest treasure,
And I met with my Mary...the beauty of Clyde !

above a score of tents erected, and Dame-street is bald),
existing, ssith its honours faded, and its regularity on the

considerably curtailed, and in fact all the jinglemen are

THE ROTHSCHILD&

—.
PARIS, Ahem 11:

About eighteen months ago Baron James Rothschild married ha
own niece, the daughter of his brother, Solomon Rothschild; the
latter generally resides at Vienna, but at present is in Paris. All the
brothers will set out in a few days for London. These opulent ban-
kers appear determined to manage matters in such a way that their
immense riches, shall nut go out of the. family. Another marriage
between the children of two of the brothers will be celebrated in
the course of a fortnight in London. The future bridegroom is
the young Baran A. S. Rothschild, the son of Solomon Roths.
child • the bride is the eldest daughter of N. M. Rothschild,
of London. The Lady is nineteen years of age, extremely
beautiful, and highly accomplished; she speaks French, Ger-
,man, and Italian, with the fluency of a native. After the nuptial
ceremony is performed, the ruing couple will proceed to Paris,
where a magnificent hotel in the Rue d'Artois is already prepared
for their reception. Several splendid fetes are to be given by the
family on the happy occasion. Mr. Rothschild still continues to
interest himself in favour of the unfortunate family of Reymond,
the clerk who robbed him of 60,0001. and who was sentenced at the
last Assizes to eight years' confinement, and to be put in the pillory.
The great influence Mr. Rothschild possesses with the Ministers
will enable him, most probably, to obtain a commutation of the
punishment. Bills to the amount of SOO!. were found in Reymond's
desk after he absconded ; they have been given up to his wife, and
she Will be able to recover the amount.

FRANKFORT AND GERMAN PAPERS.

The Nureaurgh Correspondent, in an article from
the Lower li .ine, speaks of the manufacturing interests
in that quarter as still suffering from the shock which
it sustained during the late fatal epoch, and assigns, as
a principal source of the distress under which many
toss ns in that district are at present suffering, as origi-
nating in the failure of demand from South America,
on which the manufacturers had calculated so much,
but which calculations had been all overturned by the
tiealing out of hostilities between Buenos Ayres and
Brazil, which had caused the failure of several specela-
tions to the former country. One branch of manufac-
ture, however, that of leather, is described as being
extremely brisk, the dealers anticipating a more than
instal demand at the approaching Frankfort and Leipsic
fairs, calculating on the increased consumption which
the continuation of extremely hot weather during the
summer must have produced, it being an established
fact, that great drought and beat are even snore destruc-
tive to leather than wet. The Supplement to the
Presburae Genetic gives an account of the discovery of a
stream of natural gas, which has been discovered in a
salt mine in Hungary, which, issuing from the rock, has
been collected into pipes, and conveyed to various parts
of the mine, which has been lighted for several months
sy it, and the supply from this natural gasometer still
continues undiminished. These Papers also contain an
article from Frienwalde, in Pomerania, detailing the
particulars of a shocking crime committed there by the
wife of a shoemaker named Gontlieb, who on the 26th
of June last, deliberately murdered her four children,
the eldest a boy of seven years old. The reason assigned
by the wretched woman for the commission of this
horrid crime is, that during her pregnancies, she had
committed several' petty thefts, and being persuaded
that the wicked propensities indulged in by the parents
would be inherited by their children, she had destroyed
her innocent infants to prevent their growing up thieves.

HIGHLAND FETE.

Friday, the romantic Vale of Strathglass, Inverness.
shire, presented a scene of Highland festivity, which it
has not witnessed for many a day. The Chisholme,
who is yet a minor, and has been several years in Eng-
land, came with his mother, Lady Ramsay, and his
~•ourg brother, to visit his extensive territory, anti to
renew acquaintance with his faithful tenantry. Hun-
dreds of the Clan, headed by the pipers, met him at the

March line, and taking the horses from the carriage,
ran it joyfully fur miles to the gate or the old family
mansion of Erchiess Castle (at present the shooting
goat ter of Sir Joseph Radcliffe, Bart.) who gave the
young Chief a hearty welcome, and had invited a dis-
tingui.mhed party to meet him. The Chisholme, on ar-
riving at the Castle, was received with the ancient
Highland salute by his uncle Glengarry, who with his
son had crossed over the hills from Loch Oich to pay
this compliment, each having his piper and regular tail.
on, aild their whole band, to the true Ossianic style,
i.caded by the old blind Macdonell bard, seated on a
white pony. A sumptuous entertainment was prepared
by Lady Radcliffe, in tents pitched upon the lawn, for
the company assembled, amongst whom we observed—
Lord and Lady Stafford, Lovat, and the Hon. Mrs. Fraser, the
Hon. Misses Jerningham, the lion. Messrs. Jerningham, Colonel
and the lion. Mrs. Maedonell. the Hon. Isliss Arundel!, Colonel
Maldonel:, of the (Nardi, Miss Jerningham, Mr. and Mrs. Seale
Culbohie, &e. &c.
Time numerous followers of the different Clans (who
with their Chiefs in full Highland garb) were plentifully
supplied with refreshments and mountain dew, and the
dulcet tones of the pipe gave life to the dance to a late.
• hour, whilst all the hills for many miles extent, blazed
with bonfires to welcome their young Chief.

FROM TIM BALTIMORE PATRIOT OP JULY 21.

In addition to the opinion expressed in the extract of
a letter from Vez a Cruz, which we published yesterday,
we observed it stated, in the Baltimore Patriot, that
Commodore Porter had been appointed Commander in
Chief of the Mexican Navy. We have now the best
grounds for believing, having seen letters from the
Commodore himself as late as the 21st of June, that
this information is premature ; the most splendid offers
have been made to the Commodore, not only by the
Mexican but by the Colombian Government, but he has
thus far given no decisive reply, and we think it not at
all improbable that the Commodore will return to his
native country.

FOOT RACING.

A Race against time was run yesterday from Twyford, in Berk-
shire, to the Hyde Park Gates, for 200 soya. The Pedestrian
started at day-break in the morning and did ten miles the first hour,
one mile on the London side of Maidenhead. The whole distance
was thirty-four miles, and it was done at the rate of nine miles an
hour. The match was won by three minutes thirty-foe seconds
easy. The time allowed was four hours.
Yesterday morning a carpenter named Squires, about fifty years
of age, undertook for a wager of €5 to run four times round Sc.
James's Park without halting. No time was specified ;he per-
formed the task in 56 minutes. The conditions of the wager were,
that if he made a halt or fell, during the race, he lost, and to ascer-
tain that the distance was adhered to, two persons alternately ac-
companied him as umpires. He was much distressed in the last
mund, and on his arriving at the winning post was completely ex-
batistes!. We understand that soon after his arrival at home, he
was attacked with a severe fit of sickness, and remains in a very
precarious state.

POLICE INTELLIGENCt.

The %MMUS Ale en* &tam Boap.—Yesterstat seveial
Milian... Ware been& before the DAS Marva, en charges of hats
big taken more than by the law they were entitled to do.
One named. was hoed SI. for taking 14 'Meltzer; out of
the Sir Edward Banks steamboat, when by law be was entitled to
rate only eight. The defendant had a boat of three tons' burthen,
instead of the common wherry, and therefore no charge was made
against him as endangering the lives of the passengers.
Th. Balers of the Watermen's Company attended and declared,
that ft would be absolutely necessary to base a new Act of Pulla-
ntent for the regulation of the disorders occasioned by die watermen
and the steam-boats. ?Ir. Drinkald, one of the Rulers, stated,
that although be had been accustomed to the water all his life, be
never went on board without considerable apprehension. It was
matter of astonishment to hint that lives had not been lost constantly,
as they were endangered. Some of the watermen got large boats,
like that used by the defendant, and overpowered the others. It
was only on the Sunday before that three wherries were sunk. He
advised the Lord Mayor not to mitigate the penalties in any in-
stance, if be wished to abate the evil.
His Loanstur suggested that a police boat should be employed
on the spot, manned by two active men, to preserve order amonpr.
these men, and bring the offenders to punishment.
The Rulers of the Company then went away, upon the under-
standing that they would aid in carrying into effect the regulations
suggested by the Lord Mayor.

R. Phillips, the person who was charged under Sir I'. Plomer's
Act, with haring embezzled a quantity of stock, the property of
Lieutenant Donnely, a retired officer on half-pay, was brought up
again for final ezaminatkn.

Mr. Humphries, his solicitor, produced a letter, which had been
written by the prosecutor in ingi, to the prisoner, expressing his
willingness that the latter should invest the money either in his own
name, or the name of the prosecutor. The Learned Solicitor stated,
that his client had invested the money in his own name, and he could
thereby receive and transmit the dividends to the prosecutor, who
bad not given him any power of attorney to receive it otherwise.
The selling out the stock would be found a mere matter of debt.
The Loan Maros censured the transaction as a nefarious breach
of trust • but said, that the discretion given by the prosecutor_ to
the prisoner, to invest it in either name, took the cue out of the
reach of the Act.

good last night at Josh. Hudson's. Neither of the men were

place, as each side looked for odds. Reed, however, upon the
whole, appeared to be the favourite. The men arc in fine condi-

The French Papers confirm the previous accounts of
the great naval victory gained by Mutate, in the Gulf
of Lepanto, and also publish details of the capture of
Tripolizza by CoLocoraost, which leave no doubt of
its reality. In the night of Dec. 27 that Commander,
reinforced by four companies of disciplined troops,
taken from the regiment of Colonel FAIVIER, having
blown up one of the gates of Trip°liiza, rushed into
it at the head of 7,000 Greeks. The combat was obsti-
nate. The Egyptians and the negroes of Darfour, being
driven into the Castle, which is situated on an eminence,
were burnt alive there by COLOCOTRONI'S order, by way
of reprisal fur the churches they have burnt, the monks
and priests whom they have martyred, and the women
and children whom they have dragged into slavery.
Thirty-six foreign officers who escaped from the
flames have been spared for the present to be carried
about from village to village, and exhibited as infamous
apostates, who, forgetting their names as Christians,
had enlisted into the service of the Turks, in all whose
crimes they have participated; it is said that such
of those as shall sur vire this species of expiation, will
be thrown aboard the first vessel that will take charge
of them, to be carried back to Christendom.

The important debate on the Currency was re.
sumed last night in the House of Commons, and dis.
cussed with a degree of Went and candour, which,
while it did honour:to the parties, left no view of the
question untouched. The original resolution of the
CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, it will be seen,
was carried by a majority of 193, the numbers
being for the resolution 232, and only 39 against it.—
For the present we can only re:er to the debate, pa.ti•
cularly the speeches of Mr. Secretary CANNING and Mr.
Secretary net., in which sound arguments, and a
knowledge of detail, are blended with eloquence. To.
morrow we shall offer some observatims on the irn.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

ANS lON- H OUSE.
Yesterday, a person of military appearance, named ask Mill"
was brought up under Sir Thomas Plummer's Act, on a charge of
having violated the trust reposed in him as an agent, by fraudulently
selling out a quantity of Stock, belonging to John Donnely, and
appropriating the proceeds to his own use.
John Doonely, the prosecutor, deposed, that be is a retired Lieu-
tenant et the 2d Regiment of Royal Veterans • he had employed the
prisoner to receive and transmit his pay for km. Witness resided
its Jump In 1221 be remitted 130/. to the prisoner, to invest to
the Navy Five per Cans. This was done. Whoa the Navy Five
per Cents. were paid at, it was recommended by him that this
money should be re Invested in the Three per Cents. Witness sent
him a power of attorney to sell it out of the Five per Cents, and a
request to ns-invest it in the Three per Cents. as he bad suggested.
The charge now preferred against the prisoner was, that be had re-
invested the money, not in the name of the prosecutor, but in his
own, and that he subsequently sold it out, and used the proceeds.
Two Solicitors attended in the prisoner's behalf; one of them
(Mr. Humphreys) contended, that the cue did not come within the
meaning of the Act, as an agent. He had received no money.
rbe Prmcutor—l can prove that-I tendered him money, which
be refused.

Sir J. Pawls said, that to his apprehension it did not appear
that the payment of money was requisite. He considered that a
man was as agent who undertook to act for another, whether he
was paid for it or not, and that the statute did not contemplate any
limited= of the nature contended for by the Learned Gentleman.
Mr. Humphreys said, that at the most, the offence upon the pro-
secutor's statement was a misdemeanour? and not a felony.
The other Solicitor spoke in a tone scarcely audible ; but we un-
dentood him to say he should be able to prove it only a debt.
After some further discussion on the Act, the prisoner was
remanded.
London, England, 1826-08-22

TOWN HALL

Joseph Lamina was brought from Guildhall on a charge of felony.
Mr: Crew, shoemaker, in the London Road, St. George's Fieldi,
stated that the prisoner came into his shop on Thursday night, and
after stating himself to be prodigiously rich, as a Newcastle nue-
, chant, tried on a pair of boots, and walked off with them. The
I prisoner said they fitted 30 close that his legs swelled, and he could
not get them off again, and asked leave to go down to his Hotel in
them to get the money, but this was denied. •
The prisoner was remanded, several charges of a similar nature
being likely to be brought against hint.
LAM BETH-STREET.

A miserable-looking woman, followed by an immense erowi,
was charged on suspicion of having stolen an infant. A friend of
the infant's parents, however, stated that the woman lived in the
same house with them, and that she was permitted to take the
child inc in the morning for a walk. She had lately been di.-
charged from a lunatic asylum, and thungh generally quiet, she
was at times subject to paroxysms of rage.
Sir A Wausau' condemned, in strong teems, the conduct or
the parents, in entrusting their child to such a person. and ordered
iter to be taken, for the present, to the parish workhouse.

LORD COCHRANE'S STEAM VESSELS.

The two steam vessels, the Enterprize and the Irre.
sistible, in which officers of the customs have been
placed, are now lying within the tiers above Deptford
Creek ; a situation which has evidenly been selected for
the purpose of avoiding observation. On approaching
them they give the spectator an impression that they
are of foreign build, being totally unlike any of the
steam vessels hitherto constructed. Their sharp angu-
lar appearance is one of their greatest peculiarities,
especially as the stern nearly resembles the bow ; the
former differs only in its more shark-like appearance, and
it is said that the sharp point of the bow is intended for
forcing its way, if necessary, into the sides of an ene-
my's ship on an occasion of close quarter.—They lie in
low water, and are thus calculated to come suddenly
and almost unobserved on the enemy. The burthen
being only 120 tons, they of course appear much
smaller than could be expected from the nature of the
service for which they are destined ; but their smallness
renders them fit for running in and out of creeks, and
getting into shallow water, where they can throw with
impunity shells into the sea-coast towns of the enemy.
The draught of water is only nine feet, and when the
-guns are in it will be only ten feet.
Both vessels are calculated to carry from 14 to 16
68-pounders, and probably two or three mortars; for in
each vessel the is a shell-room, and the extraordinary
strength and size of the timbers seem to justify the
belief that they will be much employed in bombardment.
The vessels are about one hundred and fifty feat in
length, and twenty-five in width in the beam. Each
vessel has two fifty. horse power steam-engines, and it is
supposed that the rate at which they will travel will
equal that of the largest steam-vessels. There are three
small-sized masts for sailing, but the reliance seems to
be placed almost exclusively upon the steam power.
Each vessel will carry from fifty to sixty hands, the
accommodation for whom appears to be of a very
limited description. The officers have very small cabins,
and that intended for the Admiral on board the Enter-
prize is much smaller than the Captain's cabin in many
merchant vessels. Everything seems to have been sa-
crificed to the warlike and important object for which
these vessels were built, but as in warm climates it is
usual for the crew to sleep on deck under an awning, the
want of accommodation below will be less sensibly felt.

The paddle-boxes are of a very peculiar construction.
The starboard paddle•box contains a dressing•room and
bath for the Captain, and the larboard paddle•box, is
conveniently fitted up as a cook's galley, or kitchen.
Taken altogether, the appearance of these vessels gives
us the idea that they are likely to prove the most for-
midable engines of warfare which even the ingenuity of
modern times has constructed.

FIRE AT ST. THOMAS'S.

PROM THE ST. THOMAS'S TIMES, OE JULY 15.

It is with deep regret that it falls to our lot to record
the melancholy catastrophe which befel this unfortunate
town, on the morning of Thursday last, the 13th inst.
by re; it was discovered between twelve and one
o'clock, and Toond tg have originated in the house, No.
42, Norre Gade, King's Quarter. The devouring tames
issued forth with such athazing rapidity, that in a short
time aster the alarm was given, the adjoining buildings
to the North, and Mrs. Cloette's house on the South,
had already caught; thence the fire communicated to
the Custom-house building, which was soon entirely
destroyed : here, happily, its further progress to the
westward was arrested ; but on the northern side con-i
tinued to rage with great fury in a line toward Govern-
ment-house, which at one time was in most imminent
danger, but from some of the small buildings in its vici-
nity having been most judiciously cut down, it, and con-
sequently the eastern part of the town, escaped the
fire, which having now settled at the northern end of
Mr. Nissen's house, the greatest exertions were made to
subdue it, which, at about daylight, were fortunately
crowned with success.

The following is a list of the principal houses destroyed :—The
Customhouse buildings; the Royal Secretary's and Rook keeper's
offices and dwelling, the Danish church; the houses of Mr. S.
Hoheb, Mrs. Lind, Mrs. Vessuup, Mr. John Wright, Mrs. Clams',
Pejtersen, Mrs. Mocatta, Mr. Morrison, Mr. Correa, and Mr. John
Ws fight besides several smaller houses attached to the above.

It is lamentable to reflect, that in consequence of the rapidity of
the fire, the occupants of the above houses had but little or no time
to save much of value. The inhabitants of all parts of the town re-
moved whatever they could to the surrounding hills, by which pro-
perty to a considerable amount was lost and broken.
