The london Courier of the 18th August,
saws In the Times OF this morning there is a
long letter from IA private correspondent, OF
which the following are extracts, dated
', PARIS. August IL.
'' For some time there has been "A great deal
OF vague conversation respecting a treaty con
cisded between the coarts OF ST. Petersburg
and Madrid. Letters from Vierua, howe
yer, were received this morning, dated July
10Th, which state, that it lis confidently assert
Ell there. that the Courts ofSt. Petersburgh 4
Madrid, signed IA treaty ofalliance on the 7th
OF May by virtue OF which Russia is TO furnish
Spain with asquadron of five ships of the line,
fonr tfigdies, aud l6,O0J troops, in order to re.
uuce 10 Submission The revolied provinces of
South America. Spain inreturu cedes TO Rus
si@ the island OF Mrorca and the two Califor-
mas. Ii rs added, thar the squadron and the
transports are All ready IN the port of SelastO-
pal, IN the Crimea, but that tile Ottoman Porte
refuses TO altew their passage through the Ros.
rherus, III spite of the pressing opportunities
of Count Stroganoti, the Russian Ambassador
At CoIstaut;nople."
The negotiations AT Carlsbad will conn
msuce Immediately. The Congress will be
composed OF Ministers from England, Russia,
PiuSsia, Austria and France. The principal
oiJcct thar will occupy the Congress- will bc
the affairs OF the re,oited colonies IN America:
the dispute between Spain ard Portugal, aud
the question OF the din,nution OF the army of
occupation IN France, .tii a,so lbs a:.itaied at
Carlsbad.
LoApoN, August H.-Whether the courts of
Madrid and Petersburg are carving on any
negotiations, which have for their object the
eratutous or purchased aid OF the latter, 10 as
sist IN subjugating the Il american ,usurgenis is,
as an ABSTRACT question, matter oil little mo-
neht TO England. II will be time enough TO
fear alarm when we know there is danger aud
the danger cannot be understood, till ID takes a
form q character which may be defined. 10 tret
our energies away in teasing interference upon
every ramon which floats along the tide OF each
day 5 speculation, would be stronger iudica-
ton OF osr vanity than of our wisdom.

I've have ourselves Witnessed an inpo-
,;tion of the sort, whicli shows, in strik-
my manner, the necessity of Legislative
interference. a merchant of our city,
who shipped parcel of Cotton, consist
inc of ten bales, received intelligence
from his correspondent at Liverpool,
where il had been shipped, that the whole
had been falsely and frauduleniiy BACKED.
We have seen one of the bales of this par.
eel. which was returned, as speci.ner, of
the manner the deception had been p-.c-
Used. A quantity Of inferior Cotton, oc-
cnpying the centre of the bale, about nine
inches through and reaching nearly TO
the ends, had been 80 sod'len in water,
and so closely packed, that the bale
weighs considerably more than ii would
without this contriyance-wiiiiSt the sur
face OH every part presents an appear
ance o.. Cotton vt the most superior quail
ty. We have seen the most satisfactory
documents proving that this shipment
brought at Liverpool the highest price of
the market, and was resotl, at loss to
the shippers, Of e so sterling. Now if Il
mode were fallen upon to redress this e.

merchants, would feel more safe tl,an.

resentment. He was atfrst dismissed,

BENJAMIN FRANKLIN.


One Of the most astonishing exam
pies Of the force Of perseverance is
to be found in the history OF DR..
Franklin. The son of a tal!uw-chan-
dler in Boston, his fame has filled
both worlds. As Mirabeau said with
such beauty and vivacity ; Eripnt e9-
10 fRlmen sceptralHque Uranus he
suatched thunder from the Heavens,
and the sceptre from the hands OF ty-
rants.
Received by the Royal society at
London. embraced in the presence oil
the French Academy by Voltaire, like
Socrates embracing Euripides court
ed by the grave and the gay; admi'
red by the sage and the fair pier
cling the Heavens for new secrets to
extend the regions Of science and
supporting the cause Of liberty at the
courts of the proudest monarchs /;
Benjamin Franklin has given to his
country one of the greatest names
of which Politics and Philosophy can
boast. The muse has sung his praise.
One of the most eloquent men OF the
age has pronounced his funeral eulo-
gium in one of the greatest national
Assemblies which ever assembled
The greatest philosophers Oh the time
have flied tn ir pages with his dis
cuyerics and his praise.
AS If to accustom their posteTity to
his glory, and to teach his children to
lisp his name, some Of the most popu.-
lar works that'ha,e lately been ad-
dressed to the rising generation OF
England, have brought forward the
name of Franklin to their listening
auditors. Dr.Aikin, in that excellent
work, /" Evenings at Home )" and
Mavon, in his " Parents Assistant"
have paid him this compliment of
which he was worthy.-But the great
est of Juvenile benefactors is the &C.
lcbrated Miss Edseworth, who in two
of her Moral Tales has introduced
his name.
/" Forester (says she) most fortu-
natcly, about this time, happened to
meet with book, which in some de-
gree counteracted the inflammatory
effects OF Random's conversation, and
viii h had happy tendency to sober
his enthusiasm, without lessening his
propensity tn useful excrtions. This
book was the life Of DR.. Franklin
The idea that this great man began
by being printer ; and whilst he fol-
lowed him, step by step. through his
instructins narrative, Forester SYM
pathised IN his feelings. and observed
how necessary the smaller virtues Of
order, economy. industry, and pa
tience, were to Franklin's great cha
racter and splendid success"
So also, in the I" Gnod Aunt" she
silences saeerrr at the attempt to
improve smokey chymnies, by saying,

At the close Of an election, the late
Duke Gf Newcastle, was SD delighted
with the conduct of casting voter,
that he almost fell upoR his neck
and kissed him. My friend, love
you dearly. you are the greatest man

The latter took his leave Of this wick

soon rs ever the Dukes friend was

and rearhed LincOln's-lnn Fields a.

The King or Spain had at this time
been seized with disorder. which
some OF ,ile English had been induced
to believe, from particular expresses,
he could not possibly survive. A
monsst these. the noble Duke was the
most credulous, and probably the most
anxious. On the very first moment
of receiving this intelligence. he had
despatched couriers to Madrid. who
were commanded to return with UNI
usual haste. as soon as ever the death
of his Catholic majesty should have
been announced. Ignorant oil the tine
in which they might arrive. and impa-
Hent of the fate Of every hour, the
duke would not retire To his rest un-

to his attendants. to send any person
TO his chamber, who should desire
admittance.
When the voter asked if the Duke
was at home. he was answered by the
porter, Yes, his grace has been IN
