tailor observed the landlord writing
some numbers on the dOor--he asked
the meaning of them, and was inform

which were drawn in the Vienna Lot

By the arrival of the fast sailing ship
Franklin. Capt Graham, at Baltimore,
on Sunday night last, London papers to
the a6th July, have been received. They
contain highly important news from
Spain We only have room for the fol-
lowing from the London Traveller, of
july 90:
ut appears from the Paris letters
received this morning, together with
the papers ofThursday, by Express that
the belief of Corunna having fallen is
still prevalent in the French capital
othis cause isimputed the advance OF
Rsnies TO 92f 25c.--the. closing price OF
THURSDAY. Another cause has also been
suggested--reporied inierfssnes of this
country
Our readers will he not little surpri-
sed to learn that after all the gasconade
of the French ULTRAs-after their troops
have penetrated to Cadiz and Corupna
the extremities of Peninsula---so in
conclusive are felt to be the results OF
invasion that the RETIREMENT OF
THE FREsCH ARMY FROM BE-
FORE THESE PLACES is NOW
AUDIBLY WHISPERED IN THE
FRENCH CAPITsL.n After as
signing reasons, the Traveller observes:
After all, itmsy be that the repulse at
Corunna. will hasten the whispered in.
ten'ion of the Duke d'Angouleme to re-
tire beyond the Ebro. That Corunna
did not fall on the 18th. we have proof''
The London papers say---"There has
been misunderstanding between the
blockading squadron and British fri
gate, respecting the attempted passage
of some British ships into Cadiz. The
frigate fully succeeded in obtaining
them passage into the port. The A
merican vessels totally disregard the
blockade, and pass in and out just as
they pleasen ~
BY the arrival of the fast Mling schf.
.abarilld, Captain Edwards, in thirteen
days from Laguayra, we just learn the
important intelligence of the surrender
of General Morales and the whole Of the
Spanish force under his command, at
Maracaibo, on the Sd of Aug We have
only room to-day to state the principal
article of the capitulation, which is
s'that General Morales and his troops
are TO be sent to Cuba, to remain pris-

DIED, on Friday last, after painful
illness of three weeks, Mr.. JACOB BIZ
sHor, respectable and esteemed citizen
of this place. Mr.. Bishop had, for a
number of years, by the strictest integ-
rity, and the most upright conduct,
obtained the love and confidence OF
most that knew him. He was an active
and useful member of the community
He was industrious in his calling, and
successful in furnishing the means of
support to an extensive family. He
sustained the character of an humble
follower of Jesus, and gave satisfactory
evidence long before his departure that
he felt as stranger and pilgrim on
earth, and looked for city which hath
foundations whose Maker and Builder
is God" He was supported in the sea-
son of adversely by the consultations OF
christianity, and bore his suferings with
the utmost meekness and patience. No
murmur escaped his lips. Thy will be
done, was the sentiment which he fire.
quently expressed, and il was consistent
with all that he said and did. A short
time before the spirit was separated
from its habitation of clay, he expressed
strong desire to depart, and to be with
Christ, He left the world in the triumph
ant assurance OF an admission into the
Paradise of God. A large family are
left to deplore his loss, and to mourn
over an event by which, however much
he may have gained, it viii be rendered
peculiarly necessary for them to cast
their care on that God who is the "Fa-
Their of the fatherless, and the friend Of
the widow" May we who knew him,
be followers Of him so far as he was a
follower of the Saviour, and good
name, and an imperishable crown shall
be ours. COMMUNICATED.
On the same day, Mr.. HENRY
KRoH, of this county.
