From the files of the English papers with which cap tain Glover favored the editors of tile Patriot, the follow ing extracts are made. The “Statesman” contains Cobbett’s twentieth letter to the American people, on the prorogation of parlia ment and the regent’s speech. It also contains his letter «To the Men of Kent,” on their rejection of the address es proposed to the royal family, congratulating them on the marriage of the princess Charlotte. Richard Brinsley Sheridan, who died on the 7th of July, aged 64, seems to be regretted, by all parties in England. He was a member, of parliament, distinguish ed for his eloquence and patriotism. He was the author of the Rivals, the Duenna, the School fur Scandal, the Critic, and several other productions. His reputation as a literary man was no less eminent than that which he 'Yarned as a statesman. Having died in extreme poverty, he has left a rare example of a pure ami disinterested public man amidst an almost universal corruption in England. The king of the Netherlands acceded, July 1, to the “Holy League” with Russia, Austria and Prussia, con ceiving that “it will have a beneficial influence on the ■state of society, and the reciprocal relations of nations.” The London Courier, July 12, betrays a foolish resent ment at the attention paid to the “illustrious French ex iles” in the United States. The following is copied from the London “Sun,” a a ministerial print, and shews ; the exjkssive delicacy and refinement of British editors! The trial of the conspirators in France had been brought to a conclusion, and three of diem, Poignier, Carbon- neau and Tolleron convicifed of high treason and con demned to death. London, July 11. The frequent indispositions of the princess Charlotte naturally occasions surmises that they proceed from a rouse more agree:tide than otherwise to the feelings of a nation deeply interested in the happiness of her royal Highness. It may perhaps expose us to a charge of want of etiquette to sav any thing' on this subject, but know- «ing how much gratified tiie country will be by the infor mation, we cannot refrain from stating, that authority, more grave than Gossips’ Story, gives us leave to lament her illness os slightly as possible, and to indulge our warmest hopes and utter our best wishes on the auspi- cious married condition of one so dear to the British peo ple.” London, July 15. Yesterday we received the Paris papers of Thursday, and this morning of Friday last. Four new marshals of France have been created. The duke of Coligny. the count de ( Viomenil, 'the duke de Feltre, and general Bournonville; an equal division be tween the emigrants and those who have been concerned in the revolution. Several of the persons implicated in the late conspiracy have appealed to the court of cessa tion against their sentence. One of these papers, quoting an article from Peters- burgh, says, that in a treaty between Russia and the United States, the tatter have ceded to the former tw o of their ports, in the Pacific Ocean. In the Pacific? what ports can they be? There is one assertion which they make, which it is- "proper to notice, for the purpose of contradicting it: It is, that every new ministry in England, since 1799, have held out hopes to the Catholics that their claims would be conceded—an assertion which could only have pro ceeded from the grossest ignorance. There is nothing besides worth notice in these papers. The French funds are lowef, 58 70c.—Exchange on Lon- tlon 25 1-10. Paris, July 12. This morning the persons condemned at the court of assize were removed from the Conciergerie to Uicetre. Carbonneau is the most affected. He has constantly pre sent to his mind the misery to which his wife and chil dren will remain exposed. Tolleron and Pieignier curse him for being the author of their ruin, by the declara tions he made against them when he was arrested. It is remarked that the moral faculties of Pieignier have be- •come greatly enfeebled. He no longer desires to see his wife, Charles and^Lefranc appear affected at the punish ment to w’hicli they are condemned, on account of their age. In the port folio of Charles a small knife was found, •with which he had resolved to kill liimseif. Dervin and Desbaumes seem indifferent. Mailame Picard is sick; she has possitively appealed against the judgment. Las- eause and Warm "testify rather joy than sorrow. Of all those condemned to reclusion, the two Bonas- siers, father and son, seem the least affected. Descubes, Gonneau and Peillippe maintain a gloomy silence. Henri and Jacques Ozere console themselves with the hope of pardon, for which they say application was made to a great princess by the wife of one of them. The last letters from London speak in a very positive man*er of an approaching change in the English minis try, but cast a doubt on the news given in the" English journals of the duke of Wellington being about to enter jiito the administration. It would appear that the pmee gff lord lieutenant of Ireland had been offered him, but that he did not accept it. The capital convicts Pieignier, Carbonneau and Tolle- *>n, have appealed to the court of cessation. Those con demned to deportation have also appealed, with the ex ception of Dervin, Desbaumes, and the woman Picard. A great number of English travellers, particularly mem bers nf parliament, continue to land at Calais. The Engliwt generai lord Hill arrived there on the 7th, and immediately set oil forsCambray. five per cent, consols, 58 7-16—bank actions 1065. St. Petersbilium, July 15. , We are assured that our court has concluded a treaty of alliance with the ^United Slates. An article in this treaty, it is said, guarantees to us the possession of two ports in the Pacific Ocean. Genoa, June 30. Several vessels have again been met with at sea, with no person on board. Two were recognised to be Spa- nisly built, and the English instruments found on board another induce the opinion that she belongs to that coun try. A French tartane has also been found in this state. The crew of the brig that brought this intelligence as serts, that these vessels had been boarded by Barbary corsairs. It is believed that the vessels were abandoned after their crews had been either taken or drowned.— When will the time come foi\ delivering our seas from banditti, who spread every Where death and terror?— These vessels Iwve been conducted to the Ionian Isles by au English ship belonging to tiiat station. London, July 9. Every day announces fresh distresses from the country, which add to the difficulties :n town. To the failures of various banks in the country already known to have tak en place, we liave to notice one at Newcastle upon Tyne., Paris, July 4. Lady Wilson’s health being considerably ameliorated, »ir Robert lias expressed his readiness to return to the Conciergerie, inconsequence of which' he is to repair there to-morrow. The expiration of the term of then- legal captivity is on the 24th inst. Quarter before six—An order has been this instant re ceived from the. policdj directed to the different Jour nalists, to compose an article on the great tranquility of Europe, and tiie unrivalled prosperity in which France ia placed. This ingenious mvstificadon is to appear, if possible, on Saturday. * July 6. \ Tor some days past, the possibility ofa war in Europe, has been the talk in Paris. This report haa not the slight est foundation; We*dd Wot find §ie least tries of it even hi the English papers, winch arte the echoes of ail Eu rope, and winch collect all tlje reports, all the supposi tions, all’the truths, and all the lies. The reason is, that such an assertion- could not obtain credit in a where the people occupy themselves seriously about po litics. All the exterior acts of government visibly prove the unanimity of their intentions, as well as the unity of their interests. It is known that amicable arrangements exist between all cabinets-. No sign, no indication, can make us conjecture a war, and a continuity of decisive faith guarantees the duration and necessity of peace. June 8. I presume vot#have already noticed a toast giVen at a meeting convened at Beauvuliers, to celebrate the anni versary of American Independence. The Charge- d’uf- fairs was in the chair; colonel FentVick, vice president, of the United States, was present—“To the Americhn .Yavy, which can reply in the same maimer to the Turks und the English." The Abbe de Pradt’s work of the 30th March, is al lowed to be printed and sold at Paris. It has undergone sever .1 retrenchments, of which the most considerable is a dissertation on the young Napoleon. Lonriin, July Jl). The most important piece of foreign news we have to-day, is communicated in private letters from Paris.— It is therein stated, that some extraordimS-y events are passing in the south of France—in the department of Ly ons, and that the duke of Angouleme is gone to the Spa nish frontier to receive the Spanish army of 30,000 men, intended to facilitate some measures at present in con templation, the nature and object of which are not clear ly defined. Fresh troops have also been marched to Ly ons, where great disturbances are said to have been ex cited by the arbitrary measures adopted to levy troops for the royal cause. Lord Liverpool, it is said, certainly retires on account of ill health. Mr. Vansittart is also represented as hearti ly sick of his office, which Mr. Canning w ishes to see filled by Mr. Huskisson, Marquis Wellesley has been strongly solicited to join in the new arrangement, and iora Erskine to l-esunu the seals now held by lord Eldon. The recent arrival of the duke of Wellington* has given some appearances of consistency to these rumors but we cannot vouch for their accuracy. The Mediterranean expedition will rendezvous at Portsmouth; and the different ships of war at Plymouth are fitting out witli the utmost dispatch. - The bomb-ves sels at Sheerrifess and Chatham put into commission for this service are in a forward state, and will be ready for sea in a short time. Liverpool, July 13. Some of the Flemish papers received in the early part of the week, state that the king of France has lately adopted several measures for the augmentation of his ar my; for rendering it more speedily effective, and for placing his military establishment more on a level with that of the other great powers of Europe. In pursuance of this plan, it is said, he has lately admitted to his confi dence and consultations, marshal SuclAt, Champagny, duke ofCadore, and others of the most effective agents of the late government, with the view, if possible, to pro pitiate the oid army, and secure its services for new ob jects of ambition. Rumors have been in circulation for the Fist few days, that our public revenue, for the quarter ending the 5th July, has fallen very short of its expected amount, and from the silence of the ministerial papers on the subject, vve are apprehensive that the report is not without f< •n- dation. Such a defalcation must Necessarily be expet.-J, after the extraordinary sU,|lmtion which, for some tune past, has been felt in every branch of our national indus try, It would seem, to adopt the idea of an eloquent writer, as if there had been a sudden and unanimous de termination in all quarters, to suspend the use of almost all the articles ofconsumption! Our national revenue is the pulse at which this languid circulation of the system is immediately felt, and we are only surprised to find that it has not been felt sooner. Our ministers, it must be confessed, are, placed in a most arduous situation, with a deficient revenue on the one hand, and on the oth er a people equally unable and unwilling to beat addi tional taxation. Mr. Pitt has been emphatically Called “the Pilot that weathered the storm,” but we are told that under some latitudes there are calms which are not less to be dreaded than the most horrible tempests. If our present administration can weather the fearful calm under which the r active and enterprising spirit of the British nation now languishes, we shall think them at least as deserving as Air. Pitt of the gratitude of the public. In our opinion, no great nation was ever placed in a crisis which required more firm and dexterous ma nagement. We have received the Paris papers of Sunday and Monday. The trial of the conspirators has been brought to a termination. Three have been condemned to death, and as the plotting against the king’*.life is considered as parricide, these three are to have their right hands cut off and immediately afterwards to be guillotined. Eight are sentenced to deportation. Nine to be confined for a certain time, and eight were acquitted and set at liber ty- London, July 15. New dollars per ounce, 4s. 10hi. Marshal Soult continued at Dussledorf. The Algerine expedition has received an addition of the Hebrus, Granicus, Heron ami Alutine. The Impreg nable arid Superb, being completed v. ith provisions, &c. went into the sound on Thursday last. The Belzebub bomb is also completed, and took in her mortars last Tuesday. On Thursday an order was received at Plymouth for ail the ships to receive iron cables, and have bitts fitted fore and aft, for fastening spring’s to them, in case it should be necessary to lie broadside to the enemy’s bat teries. The launches and boats are to c-rry small mor tars and caiTOnades. Marine artillery from Woolwich and a company of the Rocket Corps will attend the expedition. The Queen Charlotte,. 110 guns, bearing lord Ex mouth’s flag, captain Janies Brisbane, and the Afinden 74, captain Patterson, went out of Portsmouth harbor on Thursday, and the Prometheus, captain Dashwood, sail ed on that day with despatches for rear admiral Penrose, at Malta. The Albion, captain Coode, (fitted for the flag of sir C. Penrose) has been added to the fleet, making seven sail of the line. Upon the arrival of the .Madagas car at Spitliead, which is hourly expected, her crew will be drafted into the Queen Charlotte, Alinden and Lean- der. The bomb vessels in the river, should they not soon obtain a sufficient number of new raised nien, will be completed from the crews of other peace home ships. It is said that the Dutch fleet will co-operate with our’s. July 12. We received this morning Aladras papers to the 24th February, inclusive. We had previously had Bombay papers to a late date; the former therefore could not be expected to bring such late information. The advices from lord Aloiru state, that Scindia was at Gwaltor with his army; tiie Madras army, 30,000 strong, was in the Oekkan at Etichpoor, and the Nizam’s and the Peishwa’s subsidiary troops at Jaulna. The Bombay army is ready to move. All these circumstances seem to announce war upon a very extensive scale. Tiie captive family of Candy has, landed at Aladras from Coiumbo, and been sent to Vellore. A .ail from Flanders arrived this morning, and one article brought by it corroborates the statement we made a day or two ago of the pacific intentions of the emperor Alexander. He has -lately ordered his ambassador to de liver to the Divan a note expressive of his pacific wishes, declariiig that he has no other desire than to see Europe at peace after her violent agitations. Vienna, June 24. We learn from Constantinople, that the Russian ambas sador, count Itaiinsky, is recalled, and is going to Rome on a mission from his court. He is succeeded by Mr. S._ogonofr. Before he left Constantinople, Mr. d’ltalinsky delivered to the Devan an official note to assure them of the pacific intentions of the cabinet of St. Petersburgh. The minister says in this note, that the emperor his mas ter has no other wish than to see Europe at peace, after the violent agitations which it has suffered. This decla ration has given very great satisfaction to the sublime porte. London, July H. The Paris Journals of the 8th, received this morning, are ppssessed of considerable interest. They detail the sentences of the poor wretches at whose, farcical trial we have been laughing without a thought that its termina tion would be so tragical. After deliberating all Sun day night, the jury returned their verdict, and the fol lowing sentences were pronounced on Alondcy raorn- ing:—- Pieignier, Carbornieaii an* Tolleron, 'to be executed with all tile dreadful forms, cntiing ofi their rightdiand, 8tc. attached to tliecrime of parricide. Charles, Lefrune, Desbauneg, the woman Picard, Der vin, Lebrun, Waren and la.-caux, are condemned to deportation. Th'e others to fine, and various periods of imprison ment from five to ten years: among the latter is the ballad-maker Sourdou. This fellow on receivipg his sentence, declared he Would write with an illustrious poet. “Lekritrfe fait la honte, et non pas l’echafaud.” “The crime, and not the scaffold, brings disgrace.” The 8th of July, was observed as a grand festival in Paris, on account of the entry of the king on that day last year. * The news from Madrid is to the 24th of June. The brides of the king and his brother, Were impatiently ex pected from the Brazils. Ferdinand had ordered the most efficient naval measures to be taken against the pirates. It is positively asserted that the king of Portugal has promised to support the royal cause at Buenos Ayres and Montevideo with an anny of 15 or 16,060 men, which will it is added, be Very useful in these provinces, though not wanted in Mexico and Peru. A Hamburg mail-, which arrived last night, takes pains to inform us that the very best understanding exists be tween Russia and Sweden. What called for this assur ance? The same authority tells us that the king of Swe den having spilt to Petersburg 200 honorary -tnedais to be distributed to the Russian army, the emperor .Alex ander returned the compliment by sending to the crown prince of Sweden 20o silver crosses of St. George, to be giveil to so many Swedish soldiers who have distinguish ed themselves in war. In our humble opinion it will greatly puzzle the crown prince to discover the number entitled to wear the crosses, if they are to be taken from the Swedes he commanded in the last war: In the course of last week a large proportion of royal marine artiiiery, uvre embarked in the different ships in the river to proceed to the expedition under lordEx- rnouth. Four detachments were embarked on board bombs, and the rest are to be employ ed in the rocket brigade under the command of e-p.am C. F. Burton, alid in howitzer and mortar boats. DEATH OF THE BISHOP OF LANDAFF. Died, on the 4th of July, at Calgarth, his ‘seat on the’ banks of Windermere, in his 79th year, Richard li aison, the right reverend lord bishop of Landaff, D D. Regius professor of Divinity in the Cnive’sity of Cambridge, formerly fellow and tutor of trinity college, as well as professor of Chemistry to the University.' London, July 13, The Paris papers of the loth have just reached us in addition to those of the 9th received last night, and copied into a preceding column. We proceed to abridge the most interesting articles of inteliiger.ee in those of the latest dates. The emperor of Austria, it is remarked, had a very long conference with our ambssador at Vienna. The marriage of prince Leopold of the two Sicilies (second son ofthe king oif Naples) with the Austrian archduchess Maria Clementine, is to take place atSchoenbruwn, on the 27th of July. After the marriage, the emperors of Austria and Russia are to meet in Gallicia, and the latter proceeds to open the Polish diet at Warsaw. Count Cobary, f ther-in-law to the prince of Coburg, has been raised to the rank of a prince, and is looking out for an estate to purchase in Germany. He is one of the chief noblemen of Hungary. The great houses of Hofzinser anil Weldaner have stopped pavmenty,the latter for 1,400,000 florins. The “prince ofCbndeis indisposed at Chantilly. The minister of finance, count Corvetto, has obtained six weeks leave of absence, and leaves Paris immediately for the waters at Vichy. His under secretary, baron Laboulleris, transacts the business of tiie department ad interim. Tolloron’s wife has, it is said, presented a petition to the duchess of Angouleme, to intercede with the king for her husband.—The conspirators had lodged no ap peal on the night of the 9th. On the 13th, the heart of the musician Gretry, is to be inaugurated at the hermitage of Rousseau!!! Tiie king of Sardinia lias resorted to further severe measures to put down the secret societies, under various names, in the Gillph of Spezia. French Funds.—5 per Cents. 59f.—Bank Actions I065f. The renewel of the waf is now considered certain at the India-house, and measures are taken accordingly.— India s-ock has fallen in consequence nearly 5 per cent, within these few days. Reports of new and extraordinary atrocities on the part of the Algerines readied town yesterday, which we trust will prove incorrect. His royal highness the prince regent has received a communication from the emperor of Russia, signifying that his imperial majesty the emperor has sent, as a mark of his esteem and regard for his royal highness, a set of horses, which have been put on board tiie Russian fri gate La Mure, and are daily expected to arrive^ in this country. By all accounts, these horse's are of a remark ably be-ai o il species, and not unworthy of being even an imperial presenttothe ruler of Great Britain. The East India company’s outwarel bound ship Cold stream, arrived at St. Helena the 21st May; she lost sight of the Lady Castlereagh and Cambridge in the mght of the 12th March, in thick blowing weather. It is stated, in a letter from the Mediterranean, that a captain of one of his majesty’s frigates had, by going on shore, fallen into the liands of the Algerines, who, with the most refined cruelty, nailed him to a c 1*033, making him suff er the most excruciating tortures. Some Turks, who wctc present; moved to pity by his sufferings, at tempted to release him, but were shot dead for their hu mane interference. The captain’s name is given in the letter which communicates the intelligence; but we for bear to mention it without further corroboration of the fact. A Portuguese Indiaman has been lost on her voyage from Cliina, which has caused a heavy loss to Lloyd’s, One house alone ensured the vessel for thirty thousand pounds. The freedom ofthe city of London has been presented to prince Cobourg. We have been informed, upon good authority, that the pecuniary difficulties of .Mr. Sheridan were even greater than is generally imagined; and that in order to relieve them, liis royal highness the prince regent, a short time ^before Air. Sheridan’s death, generously sent liim two hundred pounds. The gift, at such a time, must have been highly valuable, both for the comforts it furnished —comforts, which it is lamentable to hear, were often before wanting—and for the testimony afforded of the prince’s continued regard for this celebrated man. llaymarket Theatre.—Last night a new performer made his first appeal to the public in the character of Bertrand in the foundling of the forest. His name is Hamilton. He is tall and rather thin; his countenance intelligent and exp re si ve; and his voice well adapted to th? stage; his performance throughout would have done credit to a veteran, and we may witli justice pronounce him to be an acquisition of uncommon promise to the Metropoli- tan boards. v Paris, July 5. Yesterday the Americans now in Paris, met to cele brate the anniversary of American Independence. The banquet was very brilliant. Air. Jackson, the American charge d’affairas, presided. Among the toastsdrank were the following:—“To France, our oldest ally; all our wishes are for her happiness and prosperity'” General Rigaud, who was sentenced to death fpar contiimacej has been arrested by order of the Prussian government, at Sarrebruck, where he had taken refuge on account of some criminal correspondence with some other refugees.

But the commander of the fleet (Bnon) refused to put to sea, being in want of provisions. The men were then turned on shore, except a sufficient number to mat the fleet, AND ALL MASSACRED BY A FTR10VS POPULACE.
