Bngttah «s*fcv«f3. Tlie arrival ot the fast, el*grant sli p Ogle thorpe. captain W»wson,has put us iu posnei,- »iou of iJindr.n papers to tl.e 24th Aug. and Liverpool to the 2.3!h. Alter an attentive pe rusal, we find nothingof particular interest in them. The Octavia, Wilson, tailed the same day with the Oglethorpe, and has furn ished us with date , via Charleston, as late as those l-y the Oglethorpe, to which we refer our readera, in preceding columns. There ij no newa of moment from France or Spain. The papers are principally, ta ken up with the progress of George IV, in his Irish tour. Tl.e news from Turkey is vague and contradictory. The Fans ac counts throw no light upon the plans of Itns sia, towards Greece and Turkey, so long the subject of speculation, and so long imper vious to the inquiring eye. The French pa per* mention the advance of Russian troops toward* the Turkish frontier, but entertain doubta of their hostile intention. The Lon don papers contain a statement of the pre sent military force of the Rusaian Kmp re, w hich bears the appearance of official accu racy, and which make the total amount up wards of 900,000 men. Against such an overwhelming power, any active interfer ence on the part of Great Uritaiu in the af fairs of Turkey could be considered as no thing more then an idle and useless demon stration. The Liverpool Advertiser, allud ing to the power and ambition of Alexan der, says—** The efforts which have exhaust ed Europe in the struggle against Ilona parte, have been exerted in vain, if hit sub jugation is only to make way for another con queror, still more danger..us, because inure circulating and circumspect.” General I'epe of the Austrian army has arrived in London; and it is said on the closing of the late Queen's affairs, there will he a surplus of 10,0001 for young Austin.

If truth were the object really sought, it might have been found in half an hour—for it lies in a very narrow space. There was a ri d—a disgraceful, a brutal riot—in the course of which, repeated and savage as saults were made upon the soldiers. The la*ter were 111'he execution of Llieir duty, and to intimidate their cowardly SMsailan's, some shots were fired. 'That these shots *»ere neither many, nor deliberately aimed, is sufficiently proved bv the fact that only two persons, out of the countless thousands that wre congregated together, were kill ed. M'e have heard, indeed, of cuts inflict ed with the fat sides of the swords, and of manifold wounds caused in various ways. But we have only heard of them. That the riotous conduct of the rabble wa* of no ordinary kind, is established by the circumsta ce that they actually succeed ed, in defiance of the civil power, and of tlie military, in dragging the Queen’s corpse through the city. This feat was not accom plished by persuasions, or by gentleness, we pre s line. It is equally incontestible that the soldiers were brutally attacked. Nay, one of Mr Waithman’s own witnesses, yesterday, stat ed that he “ saw a soldier on his horse, bleeding, between Knigbtsbridge and Ken sington, and he gave him a pocket handker chief to wipe (IT the blood.” Oh 1 but this is nothing 1 Soldiers may have their brains dashed out with brick bats—they may be mutilated, hacked, covered with mud and filth, reviled and insulted, by that amia ble monster, a Radical mob, and all this i* as it should be. Hut if thrse soldiers, after enduring cowardly perils (so galling to their gallant natures) from, valiant tailors and brave pickpockets, with a degree of for bearance which makes other tnen wonder at their self command—after sitting for hours to be pelted and blackguarded by wretches who would not dare to wag their little finger at a stout school boy, that had his hands at liberty—if, at last self preservation does that, which the common feelings of manhood,un fettered by discipline, would have done at first, and the roaring, bellowing poltroons, are in their turns assailed, and some of their p ecious blood is spilled—all the provoca turns they have giv-n are in an instant for g tten—llieirlrogsl conduct is overlooked a id line injured parties are to be hunted > down like tile bj>e:u criminals, in deference to the rights and privileges of a bli.odllura ty mob. This, in a lew words is the real na’ure ot tilt- transaction, which, under tlie fostering Care of that tn.rror of modesty, and good breeding, and good English, and good man ners, and all other go ld things, Mr. Siier.fi' M aitlirnan, is being cockered into a nine days wonder. Private Vorrenpondence. “ 1 aiiis, August 18. ‘‘lt is with extreme surprise that we read in the English Courier, not only that there was still probability of the mamti nance of peace, but that it might be considered as certain that peace, Would nut he interrupted. Such, indeed, may he the language of the lasi despatches winch have readied London fri 111 Si Prt'rsburgli; but it must be borne in tinml, that they have not very recent ad v.ces from Turkey, even at St. Fetersburgh. Ii may al-o be, that the Emperor Alexander speaks, the same sentiment to the Diploma ic Agents woo are accredited to his Court; and herein originate the contradiction ob servable between 'lie intelligence winch ar rives U reel from the Capital ot Russia, and that winch is received through Germany tiom the towns nearest the theatre of war. The solution of all this is, lint the Emperor Alexander’.* private wishes are npp sod to war, but Ins whole Cabinet,seconded by tne impatient opinion ol all the Russians, on Vie contrary wish to profit by the present occa sion to realise the plans of Catherine. We are more than ever convinced that We have not been led intt> error in all lhal we l ave advanced on bis subject, which were nut mere conjectures, and tlus events wilt prove, if they have not already done so. Tlie tri fling decline u hidl it n ight nave been ob served took place 111 the French Funds two successive days, Hie 16.1 i and 17tn instant, Was solely occasioned by the receipt of in telligence that lu-S'itilies had commenced ; and ibis, notwithstanding the arrival, near y at the same moment, of a courier from 3t. Fetersburgh at the Russian Anioa-sad r’s in Pans, who announced that there was as yet no question of war. Mirac.es excepted, it is inevitable, and the heats ot the season have alone delayed it. “ I hey wtio believe, or affect to believe, in the continuance of peace, ground their opinion, whether correctly or not, upon the constant interchange of couriers. YVhat does this interchange signify ? That nego ciat.uns are on loot. Admitted ; but wlut can be the result of these negotiations ? J Merely to retard war, and thus, render-it { more terrible, by giving time for tormida- j ble preparations of attack and defence to j the Governments who are about to lake | part in it. It is true, 'hat the mediation of I England is spoken of; but wliat w ill Ans- I tria say to this, since it is also said (and we j are much inclined to believe it) thai the ; taller Power is making every possible effort ; to strengthen the ties which unite tier to France. It is even affirmed, that France i promise* Aut ria 50,000 men in case of ! need, and that she shall receive by consent ' of Sardinia, the possession ot Savoy as tar as L ins le Bourg, at the foot of the north side of Mount C- ills, ll is lui t tier said, that France will also receive a Utile augmentation on the llelgic frontier. •’ U we may put any confidence in human prudence, it is beyond doubt that in enter taining desires lor peace, we mav hope to see these desires finfiued; but how can the voice of prudence be heard anudst the clam orous conflict of ad the passion*? These pas sions are in such a state ot excitation, that the | most invincible infatuation prevails, as soon as a thing is desired, its existence is believ ed.” Liverpool, 25th August. THE QUEEN.

We lately noticed the acceleration on the western road. -This week the mails to Man chester and Liverpool will travel about 9 miles an hour on the greater part of their routes. Such speed will be highly bene ficial to correspondent’, and can be accom plished without any danger to the passen gers, the mail coaches being constructed on very sale principles, and also carrying so small a number outside.

Lord Huron —The following paragraph from the Continent papers, is not very in telligible hut is given as we find it : “ Lord Byron has been ordered out of the town of Ravenna, as well from the whole of the states, on account of Ills writings, and occasional charitable assistance to poor dis abled wretches who lay in the street with out any individual daring tn stretch out an assisting hand from fear of perse”ulion.” The Prussian S'ate Gazette coiraius the following article from Naples, of the 1 alh of June : ” A former naval officer, who is still employed m tnr naval department, coming a few days since from vespers, wis attacked and severely wotln led not far from the dour "f life church ; he ascribed the attack to the hatred of the Carbonari. IT: was con veyed m an hospital near at -hand, where his wounds were declared to be moral, lie was himself sensible of the approach of death, and sent a pressing message to one of Ilia acquaintance tn co ne to him.— \s soon as he appeared at his bedside, he beg ged him to pardon all the wrong that he had done Idm. As they had once had some trifling disputes, the other believed that the request of the dring min referred to them, and declared that such a ir'fie was not worth speaking of, tha* he thought no more of it, and his friend might make his mind easy. But the other became inure uneasy and ur gent, and at length confessed that he had delivered to the Police a list of several Car bonari, in which he had placed the name of his acquaintance, though he was not quite certain u bet her he belonged to that sect or 1 not. This declaration of course alarmed I this individual, who was wholly innocent; i he immediately fetched a Notary and some i respectable persons, and caused "this confes ! si'"' to be duly drawn up and attested in their presence. Standing on the threshold of eternity, the dying man owned that ma ny others ivere set down in his list, of w hom he could not be sure that they really were Carbonari, lie, therefore, begged that the whole list might be considered as a non en tity. An attested copy of th's d icument has I been delivered to the Police. Algemeine Zeitung. ; The late Gen. Scott, so celebrated lor his success in gaming, was one evening playing j very deep with the Count d’Artois and the Duke de Chartres, at Paris, when a petition was brought up from the widow of a French officer, Slating her various misfortunes, and praying relief. A plate was handed round and each put in one, two, or three loins d or’s ; but when it was held to ih? general, who was going to throw for a 500 lotiis d’ or’s, he said, *' Stop a moment ifyuu please, Sir; here goes for the widow !” 'Tile throw was successful, and he instantly swept the vv hole into the plate, and sent it down to her. | Imprisonment for debt is said to have I been first introduced in favour of the Ba rons, *to enable them to bring their stew ards to bonk.

FHOM THE DUBLIN EVENING POST, ACS. 14. Ileception of the King. It u ould be Utterly impossible to convey any idea ot the acclamation which burst up on his ear, the moment he made his appear- J mice. Its kind, its peculiarity, defies all de- ! scriptioii. The king was evidently affected < at the unrestrained and clamorous enthusi asm, with which lie was welcomed. It was really a species of intoxication, which Irish men may w ell conceive, but which, from the proverbial confusion of his ideas on such an occasion, an Irishman, is, perhaps, of all men the worst qualified to describe, i Our i'l-e and ca culatmg brethren of the I London Press, may lift up their eyes audio- j voke the head of Confucius. We cannot I help it. We were in the vortex, and we ! gave ourselves wi liiigly.no to the enthusi asm of the moment. Could it, in fsct.be ; otherwise ? Could the most ascetic and sa lurnine spirit preserve .ts constitutional bias on such an occasion ? Our temperament, h»i.k heaven ! does not differ from that of * ar Country" tn. We :h, as riuv se t, and gave as the > gavr, a fun Ann free expression to nwr h > ling- Even now, on looking back t‘"Tie .scene, a. d ecdesvr.urii g to describe it, there are so uui.y tuciuerds crowding up- on cur pen, and jostling for expression, that we find it no easy matter to reduce them to some sort of order, for the purpose of con veying even a faint idea ot the scene at Ilowth —on the road, and at the Park. We shall, however, do our best, and though the scene and circumstances would be worthy of the graphic pen of Sir Walter Scott, the reader may rely upon the general accuracy of our account. There is a circumstance or two, which is omitted in the following account, but which, althougii not very imposing, the reader will agree with us, is not a little characteristic. As ’die procession was moving forward, two countrymen were driving their carts along the road ; they heard the shiiluo ap proaching ; they saw at a distance the peo ple without their hats, making the most frantic gestures. ‘By the powers, Pat, it is himself,’ cried Tim to his companion. “ Sure enough,” exclaimed Paddy. Without more at all to do, they backed their carts into the ditch, unyoked their horses, mounted upon their Itosinantes, which we must in candour, acknowledge aas not of the Arabian breed, with their traces which as faithful historians we roust also confess, were not of the most splendid description, dangling of traces and hemes at the necks and heels of their charg ers, away they cantered in froutof tile ca valcade, to the amazement of the multitude, and no little amusement of his Majesty. Another countryman had the audacity, anil small blame to him, to cling to the loot, step of his Majesty’s coach, all the way from ITiwlh to the vestibule of the Lodge. In vain was he told to desist. Many a sound lash did he receive from the equestrians who were galloping after the carriage, but he clung like a barnacle to the spot, and had the honour of shaking his Majesty by the hand, when he alighted from his coach.— Tins fellow’s name and glory will be handed down to his grand child en’s children. What a rout our persevering friend will make at Donuybrook Fair this month. There are many who will regard him with awe, and not a few with envy. Such n as the entrance of George the IVth, among his Irish profile. There was no par ade, no soldiers, no civic authorities, no guard, tio ponce—it was only the King and his people. H s Maji sty arrived in Dublin on the 12th Aug. the anniversary of pis birth-day—a happy and auspicious coincidence. U e have read of various triumphal eu tries of Conquerors and mighty monarchs -of Alexander’s into Babylon, of Pompey’s triumph into Rome—all very g. and and very imposing. The public en ry of the King! of Ireland would have been a most magnifi cent and gorgeous display. But we had ra ther witness the scene of Sunday, than all the grandeur that was ev-r exhibited. It Was one ot those winch few men have ever seen—it was one for the heart, and not for the eye—it was one whose splendour passeth not away with the procession—it will rest on our affections—it w 1 live forever tn our memories. From the Lexington Public Advertiser. FUO'.r THE LONG BOX—X. On the 19th iust. I was at a dinner given bv Vlr. Dairympie, at Ins own house. It was Mr Ualrymple’s bir'li day and on which he had arrived at the 70lh year of his age. The invitation had been general to all Ins neighbors and acquaintances ; and from the great respect in which he was held by all who knew him, the concourse was very great indeed. It was but a short time be fore dinner that 1 reached Mr. Ualrymple’s; from which lime until dinner was announced, no kind of refreshment whatever was offer ed to the company. About one o’clock Mr. Dairympie inform ed the company that dinner was ready, and invited them to follow him. He conducted us into ave y large shed, with rough walls, lathed and filled w.th mortar, an earthen floor but ceiled above ; In this shed the dinner table was set. The dinner consisted of bacon, greens and homony principally, with coarse hoe cake and Johnny-cake bread, made of corn meal. The bacon and green# were served up in large turned wooden dishes or plat ters ; and the plates were of the same kind of manufacture. At short intervals on the table stood woode i cans with water in them. The knives and forks were of the coarsest kind. The table was of 0.. k wood, ciean scoured—but there was no table cloth.—the seats were benches and three legged stools —no servant attended the table, nor was it necessary, for every thing intended to be used at dinner was on it. Mr. Dairympie invited his guests to sit down, and when they were seated he asked a blessing and then pressed them to help themselves, to such as was before them ; and byway of example to the rest, he help ed himself. The company stared at each other and then at Mr. Dairympie, and secretly cursed him and his dinner ir. their hearts j but from the great respect they had for him, said no thing, but helped themselves to some small part of the dinner. As soon as the guests began to eat which they did merely out of rekpect, Mr. Dalrym pie gave a signal by blowing in a small gourd, when in rushed half a dozen servai *s clean dressed, in coarse homespun cloth, who laid hold.of the table and all that was on it and instantly ran it nut of the shed, and return ed with a neat, plain walnut table, with a clean but coarse linen cloth, and an excel lent dinner, in pewter dishes, all bright and clean ; the dinner consisted of excellent ham, roast beef, lamb, sh.iat and fowls, with vegetables of the best kind, and well cook ed ; bright pewter plates, with good buck horn knives a ,d forks now supplied the , place of the wooden ones—and instead of I ! wooden cans, were placed on the table at ' proper intervals small stone pitchers, filled with excellent parcimmon beer or cider, within the reach of each scat. The stools t and benches were also removed, and their places supplied with plain flag bottomed chairs. i bis transformation of the table and i s furn tur.-, not only iUsipat.nl the chagrin visible in the countenances of the guests; but excited their appetites, so tha* thev din'- ed plentifully, as there was a great variety of choice meats and vegetables on the ta ble. When Mr. Dairy .rple discovered that the j company hid di, ed, he gave another signal : with Ins gourd and immediately two dozen - French waiters rushed into the room, dress ed in livery, ciean shaved and profttse’y , powdered.— Out went the walnut table wun \ its contents and the whole furniture of the i room. The door mas instantly covered wi;li ! a rich Turkey carpet,.and the walls with! fine silk tapestry, and an elegant Mahogany i übie ami side board brought in. The table was covered with thre'e of the finest diaper cloths, and a most splendid desert, compos ed of the most fashionable pastry of every description, sweet meats and fruits of the most choice kinds, served up in fashionable plates, the finest China, and superb cut chrys tal glass vessels; whilst the sideboard groan ed under a profusion of choice wines, cor dials, strong waters, &c. &c. so that nothing was wanting to tempt the palate or excite the appetite of the greatest epicure- Pleasure now beamed in every counten ance, whilst the sparkling glass was emptied to the health of Mr. Dalrymple ; and as the company appeared disposed to enjoy them selves. Mr. Dalrymple prepared to with draw, and leave them free from fliat restraint which is natural in the presence of an old and respectable man : But before he retired he addressed them in substance as follows. My worthy friends, this is my birth day, on which I number three score and ten years, which seems to have been considered by the psamiist ys the limit of human life. I cannot express the pleasure I feel at see ing so large a collection of my respectable friends and acquaintances on the occasion ; and before I leave you, I consider it a duty I owe to you as well as to myself, to explain my conduct in the arrangement of this day’s entertainment ; and especially that 1 may avoid the charge of being under the capri cious infiiience of old age. It has been the practice of many people at all times ever since the period of my earliest recollection, to complain of hard times and a scarcity of money ; and ss I never had experienced either myself, I conceived the project of convening my friends together on this day, ,K and to demonstrate to them by familiar ex. amples the reason. At the age of twenty-two years 1 married an industrious young woman, and went to house-keeping : as we were both poor, we were unable to procure better furniture than was this day exhibited in the first course (for you must know that it was a fun damental principle with me from the begin ning, never to owe even a penny, to which principle l have scrupulously adhered dur ing my whole life.) By industry and fru gality, we were in a few years enabled to adopt that style of living exhibited in the second course, and winch we have not changed to the present time ; for I never i suffered the example of others to influence • my mode of living, especially when it tend rd to affect my pecuniary concerns. In th s manner have I spent nearly half a cen tury, happily with my family'and friends, raised and educated seven children, and fur nished them with means to begin the world, [ and am now in possession of a competency, ! to support me during the remainder of my j life, it managed with the same prudence i that has been observed in acquiring it. A* i 1 niade it also a rule to spend less than my annual income, every New-year found me in the possession of a surplus, I consequently never have myself experienced hard times or a scarcity of money. Many of my contemporaries, who inher ited large real estates, began the world by adopting the style of living now before you ; ambitious to excel each other, they suffered themselves to be enttuenced by example, indulged in the most extravagant furniture , dre--s, equippage, fee. and trusting the man agement of their estates to siewards as pro fligate as themselves, their expenditures greatly exceeded their income, and their estates so-, n melted away like snow in a sum mers day.
