By the De Cock, arrived at Antwerp, advices have been received from the Alauritius to the 3d of M2ay. WVe regret to learn that no doubt wVas entErtained there of the Delig-ht sloop of war, Captain Hay, having fbundered ofl' that island, anid that the whola ofher crew, with 3J00 recaptured slaves, had perished. A part ot the wreck of the vessel had been picked up at sea. LiSBON, July .5.-Captain Bock has appeared here. Eleven parishes are in a state of disturbance about Alcabaca, owing to the demands of thie clergy for tithes and arrears of tithes. The Constitution reduced these denmands considerably, but as their acts have been annulled, the clergy now conie in for arrears. DEMIEltARA.-XYe are sorry to learn, that withinl this last fortnight the gangs of three estates between Georgetown and .Ma- haica have rcfused to do their work, and that the principai parts of each of them have been down to the Fiscal, to lodge romplaints against their owners or managers. These complaints, we un- derstand, have been, for the most part, of a frivilous and vexatious nature; but we liave yet to learn what pneasures his Excellency the Governor, or the Fiscal, has adopted, or intends to adopt, to prevent the recurrence of this improper aad disordlerly conduct on the part of thc slaves, for the future. A great number of the Negroes fronti the Big Diamond estate, up the river, came dowrn to town this morning; andL if somne decided steps are not promptly anid vigorously enforced, his llonour may expect to be visited, in a short tine, by the gangs of all the estates in tne country. A listless toleration, on the part of the Executive, of this string of work by a few evil-disposett ne- groes, wll prove n,ot only highly subversive of all discip.line among that class of people in general, but will be a so.:rce ot very consider- able injury to the just interests of their sasters.-Guiaun Citronicke, Jane 14. A SHiP on FIRE IN TllE DEE.-About two o'clock oin Saturday morning, the brig Dykcs, lying or' Flint, where it had dischiargedl a cargo of timber, ior .Miessrs. Dixons, ot' this city, was discovered to be in a blaze, which was seen in terrific $iandeur from Bagilt, and across the channel to k'arkgate. We are tnformed that the cabin, desks, masts, anti rigging, are completely consumed, and that considerable damage has bcen sustained by the hull oi thc vessel. The disaster originated in a candle being left lighted in the afterpart of the ship.-C/ester Courant. A new journal appeared in Paris on the 1st uit. It is designated, ' "A List of all Strangers wbo arriv e in the Frenchi Ca. pital, setting forth theit places of residence, professions," &c. Ior the benefit of trade and of foreigners. Oii Sunday last, Mr. Price, the Amnerican inanager, ac- cempanied by iliss L. Kelly, a.:d the other performners whomll he had engaged, enmbarked a.t Liverpool, on board tite packet-thip Pttclaic, an saitled for New York. Yesterday at half-past onie o'clock, in pursuance of a precepl issueed by the Righit Hon. the Lord Mayor to that effect, a wartdnote was beld for the ward ot Aldersgate, in the large roon of the Dispensary, in Ald&tsgatc-street, for the purpose of electing a reltresentative of the ward in the Common CouLIcil, in the room of Mlr. Saniucl Rolls, lately deceased, to serve for the remaindler of the present year. The candidates were Mr. Tuiomas Lloyd, grocer, Alderigate street; AMr. UI,. L. Saul, wire-tnrerclhant, Falcon-streetr ..nd Mr. J. Iiunme, carpeiiter and builder, St. Anim's-lanc. Having been separately proposed by the chairmani to the meeting, and a show ot liancls taken on each, it was declared that Alr. ThomnaLs Lloyd was electedas representative ol' the ward by a very decided iiiajority. M1r. Lloyd was then sworn in as Common Couneilman for the ward, and having takeni the usual oaths before the aldeniail presiding, lt. A. Cox, Esq., the vardmotc broke up. On the 22d ult. the Arclbishop of Cambray, accoimpa- nied by tlhe Sous-Prefect, the President of the Civil Pribunal, teic Mayor of the town, the King's Lieutenant, and many persons of consequence, attended the ceremony of exhuming the remLins ot the inmortal Fenelon, and placing the botly in a leaden coffin, whichi was deposited in ttie vault under a monumient lately er,cted to his memory. A silvcr inedal was placed itn the coffin by the Mayor, t'lonsieur Bethune loarez, wits the arms of the town, bearing the date of 1822. A considerable sum was subscribed towatds this worthy undertaking by the British officers, while they were in gar- riSots its thc town in 1818. The Giurtalue di Roma says-" CardinlQal Pallotta has re- turned. His mission, the object of which was to put down the t,u- merous banditti that infest the hight roads, lhas not been attended with the desired succese. In poinL of fact, the evil seems to be ra- ther otn the incr ease than otherwise, especially on the borders of the Neapolitan territories, where it was always more difficult to ap- proach the robbers. An unfertunate individual of the name of lRo- setti, who was traveling from MIontelanico to Segni, in order to bring his bride from the latter rlace, was attacked by banditti, and because hc was unabe 1o pay the heavy ransoni of 5;W,00 scutdi, they bound him fast to a tree, where he died in terrible convulsions. The robbers had been on the watch fbr the Bishop of Seni, but he by good luck took another route, and so avoided falling ito thc hands of these miscreants. The Communes of Montelanico and Segni were each to pay an amercement of 250 scudi, but the inhabitants of the fornier p lace had flown to arms, and it was as much as the Bishop conld do tn restore tranquillity. Near Terrescina three other unfortunate persons had been attacked and conducted to the mount-'in." SINGUL&R COINCIDECNc.-At an obscure house in a court in Piccadilly, appropriated for the purposes of an aiorenical Sc61GO, a poor woman occupies the ground floor, who actually deals in m2scles, her liusband is a bone-merchant- and over the dwor is a board with this inscription-ilfanglingdow Ihere!

Charles Cox, of the firm of' Cox and Greenwvood, to a drattght drawn in tie name oQl Williamn Lindsey, in favour of lieutenant Vernon.
