The ship, Two Friends, sailed on Friday night from Portsmouth, with upwards of 100 volunteer officers to join the Independent cause in South America. Many of them are natives and residents of Portsmouth, Portsea, and Gosport.

It appears that the late Duke of Northumberland died intestate. His Grace, certainly, previous to his last moments, gave away large sums of money: to two persons in humble life he presented 5,000l. each, and thus avoided the legacy duty of 5001, on each. In ready money, the Duke is said to have left 1,300,000.

BRUSSELS, Aug. 2.-His Highness the Prince of Waterloo, Duke of Wellington, after having visited the banks of the Meuse, arrived yesterday afternoon in this city, by the way of Louveine. There have also arrived Lord Richard Trench, son of Lord Clancarty, the British Ambassador, coming from London; Mr. Hill, from Paris, with despatches for his Excellency the Ainbassador: Madame la Maréchale Soult, Duchess of Dalmatia, on her way from Paris to Germany with her family and suite; and many English officers and gentlemen from Paris to London.

Letters from Constantinople announce, that there has been lately concluded, under the mediation of England, a convention between Turkey and the Pope, by virtue of which the Christians will enjoy in Turkey more liberty. According to the said letter, a printing office has been established at Constantinople, under the direction of an Italian, in which several works in Italian, French, and Latin, have been already printed.

On the 1st instant, the Duke of Wellington arrived at Liege, with his Aides-decamp Colonels Burgh, Percy, and Jones, and Mr. Kraenhoff, inspector of fortifications. The next morning, before he set out

for Brussells, he visited the Chartereuse and the citadel. His Grace examined the plan for the fortifications to be erected on the mountain of the Chartereuse, and as he ap-, proved of it, it is supposed these works will be soon begun. On the 3d his Grace left Brussels to proceed to Ghent, and thence to Ath, a fortress of the second rate, which is fortifying with the greatest care, and which is included in the system of defence adopted for the southern provinces of the kingdom, because it forms a central point in the line.. The Duke will be at the head quarters of the Prussian army at Sedan by the 15th of this month. His Majesty the King of Prus sia being expected there on the 13th, all the Prussian troops are already in motion for the great review which is preparing. Seve ral French refugees, who were at Brussels,, have received orders to quit the kingdom, though they are not included in the ordinances issued by the King of France. It is known that those who are included in them have also received orders to quit our territories before the 15th of this month. These extraordinary measures give rise to various conjectures.

carrying into execution at Berlin with the greatest rigour. All those liable to serve in the Landwehr are placed, without distinction, în the first and second class.

It is said, a conspiracy has been developed at Constantinople, in which the Janissaries were to have been the chief actors. The Divan has received, up to the end of June, the most flattering reports upon the state of affairs in Asia. The provinces, where the fire of sedition was just blazing forth, have also been appeased.

We have abstained from remarking on a vague report which has however found some countenance from the foreign papers received both on Friday and yesterday; and it is, that Russia, in her cold and remote capital, has felt so warmly for the affairs of Spain and the Spanish colonies, that under a public arrangement she has engaged to furnish a powerful naval and military armament for the subjugation of the insurgent provinces in South America. This story, idle and romantic as it is, had a considerable effect on the Stock Exchange, and the variation in consequence in the market was nearly one per cent; the prices commenced at 804 in consols for the account, and closed as low as 79%. It is on this account, and this account only, that the rumour received our notice; for no person connected with the Baltic trade, and especially with the Eastern Baltic, suppose that it merits the least attention whatever. Russia is in no condition to advance money, in order to fulfil any such engagements, and Spain is least of all capable of supplying funds to Alexander, to assist in any such design. The Exchange of St. Petersburgh has remained is a condition that has disappointed all the speculations of those who calculated on its advance; and the persons who deposited their money in the Russian Bank, in the indulgence of the flattering hope of its improvement, enjoy-none of the promised advantages, and are getting their money home by every expedient which avarice and ingennity can contrive. It is acknowledged in the Official Ukase, published under the Imperial name, that the Loan which is sought by the Russian Minister of Finance, and indeed with little prospect of success, is not to be contracted with any view of foreign enterprizes, and least of all to transAtlantic experiments, but, if possible, to restore the expiring credit of the Russian paper, which in its present state, threatens the utter annihilation of the national confidence in the public engagements.

Letters received from Cadiz to the 25th slt, mention that the Spaniards had carried into effect their intentions with reference to the maritime depredations against their flag. The Diana Spanish frigate sailed from thence on a cruize against the Insurgent privateers, which had not of late however been troublesome as heretofore: she had under command several other ships of inferior Europ.

magnitude, which were to act as occasion might require.

A private letter states, on the alleged authority of direct intelligence from Vienna, that a treaty had been signed there, on the 7th of May, between the courts of Madrid and Petersburgh, by which Russia had engaged to furnish Spain with five ships of the line, four frigates, and 16,000 troops, to accomplish

the submission of the South American Colo

nies, for which she was to receive as an indemnity Minorca and the two Californias. It is added, that the squadron and the transports are all ready in the port of Sebastopal, in the Crimea, but that the Ottoman Porte refuses to allow their passage through the Bosphorus, in spite of the pressing importunities of Count Stroganoff, Ambassador from Russia to Constantinople.
