Kerinement succeeded barbarity, and the cultivation of literature and the line arts, that cnoble and adorn human nature, every where prevailed. In these arts the youth of Greece were instructed.— Such was the education of the Grecian poets, orators and philosophers, who, by their writings, have left to succeeding a gps only the power of admiring what they cannot equal. To illustrate any farther the impor tance of early Education is unnecessary. It must be evident to all, that, it there he a period in which the faculties are susceptible of improvement, and upon the management ot \vliicli our fiture hap piness essentially depends, i' must be youth. In childhood the ptinctples of virtue and morality ate to be inculcated.

Kick, of the Bhip .Yaptune, ariived yesterday, in 4 t days from Greenock, for London papers the ICtli of August, Edinburgh to the 17th, both in- clusiie, and Glasgow ot the 17th. The principal items of intelligence are the death of the Marquis of Londondarry, and the arrival and reception of the King in Edinburgh. The Marquis of Londonderry towards the. close of business ill Parliament, began to manifest a depression of spirits arid men tal alienation. Some parts of bis conduct bad been, remarked as inconsistent and un usual, but nothing fatal had anticipat ed. On the Bill of August, however, he waited upon the King to take leave previ ous to his Majesty’s departure for Scotland, and exhibited such a change in his dre; and deportment as to give serious alarm. The L)uke of Wellington soon afh r wrote to Or. llankhead, stating that his lordship having been harassed and overworked him self, during the late session of Parliament, was in a stale of mental delirium. Dr. H attended from that lime until the morning of the 17th of August, w hen his Lordship, being left alone in his dressing-room, after Sending for Dr. I!, cut the artery in the neck with a small pocket-knife, and full in to the arms of the physician, w ho, at the moment, was entering tile door. The ver dict of the Coroner’s Jury was insanity His Lordship appeared to labour during his lunacy, under the fear of an attack upon his life—and so effectually struck the knife into the artery, in his neck, as to extingui life in the space of a minute after—in w hich time two quarts of blood doivcd from the wound. No c ange in the ministry had vet hi made in consequence of the death of the Alirquis. It was expected that Sir Charles Stewart would he recalled from his embus sy io France, and be placed, for tho time at least, at the bead of the foreign depart ail armed brig. Iielung to tiiat Power, io rd not only on the release of lour Austii.tn vessels, which had been d"laiued by the blockading squadron, hut that they should enter the Gulpli, and receive indemnity for iuss of time. The last advices which had been received from Constantinople confirmed the appoint ment of llospodiirs fur Moldavia and Wal- lachia, and their evacuation by the Turk ish troops. •/Vie Marquis of Londonderry.—The late Marquis of Loodomlery attended the Fo reign Office on Friday morning, and even early in the day, as at noun, lie display- some svmptom of approaching insanity , called 'about that lime at lilt Hrtisll Col- House, Cockspur street and inquired Tor Sir Edmund Nagle. On being informed by (tie proprietor, Mr. Element, who was acci dentally standing at the door, that he was not there, his Lordship with much emotion, struck his hands together, and very sharply desired that some of the other waiters tumid he c died, by whom being assured th.it Sir E. Nagle was not there, he walked away much agitated. His Lordship’s con duct appeared very singular and excited particular attention in the street. The Marquis of Londonderry was ap pointed Keeper of tire Signet, or Privy Seal of Ireland, July 25, I7D7 ; one of the Lords of the Treasury of Inland, Oct. 1 I, I7B7 ; Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ire land, in April, 171)8; sworn of the Privy Council, December t'J, 1708—President ol the Hoard of Contrnul, July ti. 180 2 1805 he was appointed Secretary lor War Colonies— dismissed in 1800 ; re-appointed in 1807. London, August 14. A letter from Madrid, dated July 30, con tains liie following statements : u It is generally reported that an official communication has been made by the Lug- lish ambassador to our ministry, purporting that if any powers attack onr libeity, Eng- i-ith -lit tier f.l “ Some suspected persons have again been removed from the capital ; hot things will not take a decisive character till the new ministry lie completely formed. Im- prz Kanos is expected with the greatest im patience. His well known energy promises ■a change of system in the government, and the true patriots are well disposed to sup port it. “ The partisans in Catalonia are numer ous, hut they have just received a terrible check.—More than 1200 of them have been killed on different points. Mina is to com ment. It is also stated, that the Marquis I mand the army in that province, lie will Wellesley will succeed to the Foreign De- have 30,1)00 men tinder him. This is more partment, and that Mr. Canning, instead ot j than is necessary to rover the French Fron- gning to India, will receive a ministerial ap pointment. The health of the F.arl of Lauderdale Is in a very precarious state, and one of the accounts state that there is serious ground for alarm. The King landed at Leith on the 15th August, and was received with much en thusiasm by all ranks, and expressed him self much gratified by his reception, on the sixteenth his majesty v isited Dalkeith House, and ou the seventeenth held a levee at IIo- iyrood-house. His departure was expected to take place on the 17til August. The Edinburgh papers are filled exclusively w ith -accounts of illumination*, fire-works, levees, parades, kr. The King’s yacht was towed from London to Leith, between two steam- packets. The Creek cause appears to prosper. The Turkish fortress of Napoli di Homana has surreuden d. An attempt had been made to assasi.vate the King of Sweden, by shooting at him, while on a travelling tour to Norw ay, which, however, failed. The assassin committed suicide. No new Ambassador to Constantinople has been yet appointed by the Emperor Al exander—tin; Turks liaie not, it is said, evacuated Moldavia and Wallachia. Uut every thing, it is added, hears a peaceful appearance. I’aris papers of the 12th August state, that advices from St. Pcturshurgh, of the 24th July, {concur instating that the Em peror Alexander was making preparations io visit Vienna. A change of ministry had taken place, at Madrid on ttie fill) August. It appears to he of the liberal cast One of the eititois of the Journal L'Exptctudvr is minister of Foreign Affairs. The situation of most of the provinces of Spain, is more tranquil than at our last accounts. The insurrection in Catalonia, however, had not been entirely suppressed —18,00(1 men have been sent by land to that province,and 8,oou by water, to he un der tin; command of Gen. Mina. A hand of 200 men, commanded by the old Partisan Cuhillas, has appeared io tin province of Burgos. It is said that Merino has again appeared on the scene, hut this is not certain. Ferdinand lias published an address to tin- people, in which he promises to consoti date thu national defence, and to perpetu ate the national cry of “ Long live the Con stitntion.” Tier King nf Persia is said to have beer .-Converted to the Christian Religion. The ep ioiug iff the Congress at Verona, is ex|.retell to take plane in September. The distresses io Ireland had been in gome d. grec reduced by Hie funds furnished tier, and to.crush the remains of the insur gents.

He lias brought with him iMIOO men, who immediately proceeded towards Larissa, to reinforce C'hourschid Pacha. Smyrna, June 8. It is affirmed, that the flotilla of Melio- met Ali, returning from its successful expe dition in Candia, lias arrived at Stnncho, with several Greek vessels which it lias taken. The three ships of the line, and other men of war that sailed from Constan tinople, have joined the Turkish fleet. FO R EIG N MI SC ELLA \ IES. Extracts from English and Scotch pa pers, to the 10th August, received at Sa vannah on tile 2d inst. by the ship Nep tune, from Greenock. At Aboyne Castle, in Scotland, n field of oats ivas cut down on (he 23th July, the seed of which came originally from Georgia. The expeliment was made to ascertain whether it would suit the soil and climate oftliatcountry. It lias prov ed successful. His Majesty, say the Scotch papers, was “quite confounded” with delight, at the first appearance of Leith. At llolyrood House his Majesty said that “ he had often been told the Scotch were proud, and wi ll they might he.” added lie, “ they seem io me to he a nation of gentlemen.” The first election of Lord Londonder ry to the Irish Parliament, when lie wans scaicely twenty-one, cost Ids farther the late Marquis ill),000 pounds ! Among the successors named for (hp place lately occupied by the Marquis of Londonderry is Mr. Canning. The Duke of York’s property has been sold for the payment of Ids debts. The heiress of a banker, deceased, is said to have one claim of 200,000 pounds. The number and violence of the storms which hare visited Europe this summer have been unprecedented. All the Hotels at Edinburgh are full — from half a guinea to three guineas are paid for beds per night. A single horse costs live guineas per week in the sta bles. A smart shock of an earthquake was felt at Lisbon on the 10th of July, and the former was sentenced to nine months imprisonment and to be burned nn the hand, and the latter in considera tion of Ids previous long confinement, to one month’s imprisonment.

The Prince Leopold sailed two or three days previous, laden with arms and warlike stores, direct for Alexandria. The proclamation which we stated on Thursday, was issued by Ferdinand, it appears, was offered to him, but refused to lie signed by him. It is given in our extracts. London - , Aug. 1G. It is said that the late melancholy event will not make any change in Mr. Can ning's destination for India. It was sup posed that the Marquis of Hastings liis return, would be Ambassador to the Court of Vienna. That arrangement perhaps will not be carried into effect, and a place may he made for his Lord- ship in the Cabinet. The Duke of Wel lington is now mentioned as likely to be the representative ot England at Con gress'! His grace is personally acquaint ed with the Sovereigns who will attend person with the transactions"tjut ’Yia've taken place between the Allied Powers for the last seven years. The Earl of llarrowhy is also mentioned. We have received the Paris papers of Tuesday. The Greeks have obtained *otne fresh successes.

Dinmnnti having since made some demonstrations against Salotiica, that town has been thrown into a state of alarm, and the Governor who had march ed to assist Chourchid Pacha, who is blockaded in Larissa, lias hastily return ed. At Athens, the Greeks are said to have obtained possession of vory„ .con siderable magazines, in consequence of the suriender of the citadel. VERY LATE FROM CUKACOA. New-^oiik, Sept. 213. Fiy the fast sailing brig M itteanan, Capt. Collin, the Editors of the Commer cial Advertiser have received letters to (he 12thinst. They have obligingly fa voured us with the following interesting extracts, from which it will appear that another Spanish piratical vessel lias fal len into the hands of one of our national schooners : On the 2Gth of August Gen. Morales passed Curacoa with 1 j sail (flag shi| the Martian, of 18 guns,) Inning on board 1100 men, destined against Mara caibo— The next day they landed at Los ’Tuques, hut they were obliged to make a precipitate retreat. They then steer ed to the eastward. On the 10th inst at 1 o’clock I’. M. part of the expedition was disembarked at Brahunds, nnd a ptl lage was commenced. From the re ception they met. with from the Abor gines of this country, they thought pro per to re-embark and try the strength of Rassorn, between Toracus and Maracai bo, which place they took possession of. Morales’ fleet is said to pursue a sys tem of piracy. A Dutch brigand schoo ner, belonging to Ctirracon, were cap tured by the Marilon on the 10th August, iind robbed of every moveable article, and the latter of £ 1000 in cash. FROM FRANCE. Capt.

Piracy and Murder.—In the Kingston, Jam. Chronicle oftho 3<l of August, there is a detailed account of a piracy &: mur der, attended with very aggravated cir cumstance*- A boat was picked up at sea, with four men on board, belonging to tire sloop Blessing, Capt. Smith, w liicli on a fourth voyage from St. Jago de Cu ba to Jamaica, was fallen in with by a piratical vessel, commanded by a while man with a mixed crew of colour and countries, among whom were English cr Americans. Alter bringing the sloop too, the pi rates took out the captain and his sen, with all the crew, and carried them on hoard the schooner, leuv ing the sloop i i possession < f his people ; lie then de manded of the captain his money or his life. The captain stated he had no Money but proffe red him the cargo, con sisting of lut)0 bids, flour, anil 50 tieiccs On the following day, not producing any money, a plank was run on the starboard side of the schr. upon which the pirate made Capt.

Mr. Robert lleriot’s house was almost crushed to atoms before they felt it ; the root’and the whole of the piazza, on Ihecast side, was carried away, and was before morning perfect wreck. Olliers suffered equally. But, great God ; what is that in comparison to the fate of others !—As soon as llie day dawned, on my looking around just in our neighborhood, I saw three houses prostrate, and four completely carried away—not a hoard left to mark the spot on which they stood. Three of the houses were inhabited, and not a soul left to tell the tale of their sad fate, except poor .Mr. Withers—every branch ot Ids family, including his nephew Mr. Withers Shackelford, and Mr. Wish, a carpenter, have perished. Every individu al, black or white, making 15 in number, uf Dr. Myers’ ft*inily, have been consigned to a watery grave. Thirty souls must have perished in these two large families, besides at least tenor a dozen more.—Old Mrs. Botsford was drowned at Mr. Fort’s house in her lied, together with her maid, who slept under her bed, and a girl of Mrs. Sar- Zfidas, railed Bella, with her child—all in Mrs. B.’s room, where the latter had gone for security.—At day light the next loom ing, the scene was truly awful ; scarcely a dwelling house but what lias been injured. Thu houses of the Rev. Mr. Lance, that of Mrs. Myers and Mr. Porter are not teoaot- able; many that are not entirely carried sway, are not worth repairing. Mr. Robert Taylor's house, strongly built, was thrown some distance from the blocks, and the greater part swept.—Not a shingle of llie church to Ire found, and the whole face of the ground so completely' changed, that there is no trace where it stood. Mr. Thomas lleriot’s house, near the Church, shared the same fate—lie was fortunately in town, or he must have suffered, as lie was on a range with those who did. Mr. Joseph had a narrow escape with his fami ly—they had just left their house, and re treated to the kitchen, when it fell.
