Last evening, soon after six o'clock, an express arrived at the Secretary of State's Office for Foreign Affaoirs, in Downing-street, with despatches fronm Sir Charles Stuart, our Ambassador at Paris, to Mr. Secretary Canning. In our paper of Wednesday was mentioned the defection of O)aneta, in Peru, from the independent cause. This General, however, it appears, is a Royalist, so devoted to the absolute King, that between him and the other Royalist Chiefs who are attached to the Conistitution there is a schism, if not absolute hostility. AuGsBURG, June 27.-Extractof a private letter:-" As we have stated, the conferences between Prince Metternicl, Marquis Caraman, Mvi. de Tatischeff, and Prince Hatzfeld, are very frequent. It appears that the affairs of the South of Europe as well as of Brazil are seriously discussed. Re- port speaks also, but vaguely, of a memorial relative to Greece, said to have been presented to the Austrian Minis- ter, as well as of' a note transmitte(d from Constantinople by Baroni Ottenfels, in which the whole of the crooked policy of the Divan is fully laid open. As for the affairs of Germanyj it is affirmed that Prince Metternich, after hav- ing caused the views of his Cabinet to be made known to the Sovereigns of that conntty, has contented hiimself with verbally explaining them to those German Mlinisters now at Johannisbergr, who have lost no time in sending reports to their respectrvc Governments. Princess Metternich and her daughters receive every evening the Foreign Ministers, several of whom, for want of room in the chateau, lodge in houses in the neighbouring communes of the Rhingau, where they are near Johannisberg. The company is al- ways very nmerous. The Prince is sometimnes present, but his occupation will not allow him to be present every evening. Two more diplomatic gentlemen have ar- rived at Johannisberg, viz., Count Moronzoff (query, Wo- onzow), Russian Minister at Munich, and Baron Amstet- en, Russian Envoy at Frankfort.-Brussels paper. LONG VOYAGE.-ThC following communication from the agenits to Lloyd'srclates thelongestpassage perhaps on record, contsidering the actual distance of the two places. The voyage from Lisbon to Terceira usually oecupies about six days:- b o Islar,d of Terceira, June 25. "C x beg leave to inform You, for the informnation of the copi- mittee, of the arrival this aay of the Russian ship Borcar, J. 0. Humble, in the greatest distress for want of provisiolis, and loss of main-tooniast and some sails; out 199 days from Lisbon, bound to Rio de Janeiro." By letters from Demerara we learn, that in consequence of the petition of the free inhabitants to Goyernor D'Urban, he had suspended the Rev. Iir. Austin from his functions as Mlinister of the Episcopalian Church, and Chaplain to the garrison. The Go- vernor had visited the east coast, the scene of the late rebellion, and communicated to the slaves, assembled at difrerent points forthe purpose, His majesty's instructions and intentions with regard to the propohed meliorations, pointed out to them the delusion and decep- tion which had been practised upon them with regard to their eman- cipation, and warned them of their danger in attending to such coun- sels. Theslavesreceived his Excellency's communications with be- coming respec: and attention. The (iovernor intends to visit every part of the colony, to make similar coummunications.-Gla.sgow Cozurier. T'ihe following is ail extract of a letter from Rio de Ja- neiro, dated the2d of Alay, 1824, received by the Mary Brade which arrived yesterday :- A French line-of-battle ship a-rived last cvenin- from France. Several French vessels of war have gone round the horn."-Billinge's Liverpool Advertiser. MALTA, April 27.-" There has been a dreadfuil case of pir*ey on the coasit of the Mlores, committed on a Maltese brig, the Speraszza, by a Greek vessel, which was stationed on the coast, in the service (as it is stated) of tlse Greek Government, to warn off any ships proceeding to the Turkish foriresse of Coron and Aodon. The whole of the crew of the Ialtese brig, 14 in number, were mur- dered. Seven of the pirates are In custody at Zasite, through the activity of Cnptain Pechell, of his Majestyhs ship* Sybille, but as -UCy Wl" .A ..

A French priest, travelling, stopped at an inn, and di- rected the hostler tq give his nag a fleed of oats, which was accord- ingly done.

This the hosaler answered in the negative. "1What !" continued the prest, "did you not even grease hias teeth, in order to inithe him feedslow, and by chat means save half the oats ?" " Bless me, no," exclaimed the hostler, "1such a th-ing never entered my head." The priest, being satisfied, mounted his nag and pursued his journey. Some L.ime after, as he was passing that wa, h, e stopped at the same inn, and again directed the servant to fee his hors.

PopeC Ce nt VII., at the siiege of Rome, in the year 1530, seems to have had as happy a notioan of sprng time as Franklin ; for, being asked by Benvenuto Ceaii I'r asltion, on account of certain homiciides which hes believed himself to have commnitted "1in the service of the chuirch," he added an absolution (in prO*pltctus) for all homicides, thereafter, which he, " the said Benvenuso," "1in the samne service," mizht find itdesirable to com- mit, The same Pontiff (or I'ope Paul, his immediate succesor) en- terutined an admirable sense, too, of the deference due to talenit.
