A decree of his Highness, the Emperor, commences with a pretence of its being is sued, in consepenee of information, which had reached his Imperial ears, that sonte of his subjects, seders in Euro pain countries, hail denominated themselves his ambassa dors, or relatives, and Moreover' had been guilty of vari ous exressex! It, therethre, forbids his Mahometan sub jects on pain of Death from leaving his territories, with out express permission from himself.; and even the Jews may not go, unless they give security, that they will carry on in Europe a larrlid trade ! Such is his High ness's anxiety for the purity of every one belonging to him, be they where they may ! Who can imagine, after this, thiit he would encourage piracy ? Some intelligence tidlows the decree to prevent every snspicion of this sort ! A Tunisian vessel having seized a Neapolitan ship, the prize has been released by his orders, the Captain of the piratical vessel imprisoned for fourteen days, and notice has been given, that, whoever shall in future practice piracy, in the Emperor's ports. shad soar Death. We did not before know, that the three ports of Tunis, Tri poli, and Algiers, are all included in his dominions ; and, although he now claims them, it is probable, that the IJeys acknowledge his Sovereignty only pro lute sire, intending this decree to be the answer of the whole fra ternity to Lord Exmouth. It will be observed, that no thing is said of remonstrtmees, or claims, from the Nea politan Court ; his Morocco Majesty acts upon his own spontaneous ahhorence of piracy, as if lie hail now, for the first time, heard of the practice ! And this he thinks K ill send back the British squadron. We always knew, that he would promise any thing, as soon as it Phoula approach him, but did not expect so much stratagem titr anticipating it.

Extract of a letter from the Agents to Lloyd's at Na pies, dated July 15 : •. By thin day's letters from Corfu, we have the illsazre•:•ble tidings that Ike Piave 113% broken on! in t,, , dialonia, and that thirty-five persons fell victims to it in three days." Extract of a letter from the Agents to Lloyd's, at Ge r.oa, dated 27th. July:— " Then• is news iu town that a French vessel kith a cargo of stases has been captured by a 'fripoliiaa Cruizer, and carried Tripoli." We learn, that the master, mates, passengers, and crew, 17 in number, of the late brig.mtine, the Sitrpri,e of Glasgow, wrecked off the west coast of Barbary, and made captives by the Arabs in December last, have been redeemed from slavery by the ironmongers' Componv. The ransom money was five thousand dollars, exclusively of other charges and expenees. Rear Admiral Sir G. Cockburn has been employed precisely one year in , conveving• Buonaparte to St. lie iena, and permanently establishing a system of regula tions for his safe custody there during the term of his funre life—it was on Thursday, August 3, last year, that Sir George sailed from St. Helen's in the North umberland. Sir P. Malcolm arrived at St.. Hekna, with the Newcastle and Orontes, on the 17th of June, and succeeded Sir George in the command of the squadron, employesl at St. Helena, Ascension, the Cape of Good Hope, and the Mauritius. Sir G•orge sailed from St. Helena on the 19th ult. with the Northumberland arid Ibteephaitts; the latter came in on NVednesday. The %.:phyr and learns were speedily to leave the station.— When the Northumberland left St. Helena Ihionaparte was in good health. He had lately been seldom visited by our Officers. This state etiquette which is kept up at his residence (the observance of which must precede all interviews) not only prevents obtrusive visitors, but shuts out all who have no taste for such burdensome forms. Having, it would appear, no further hope of etc:ging any alterations in his present condition, he is from the necessity of the case habituating himself to confirm to the life of a state prisoner. Mr. Warden, the Surgeon of the Narthumberland; took a parting leave of him, when he took the hackles front his knees and presented them to him. Sir T. Ma'.lan4, Governor of Malta, and Lord High St-ward of the Ladan Isles, and his Staff, have arrived from Malta. Cie:.

RELIEF OF THE DISTRESSED. We have great pleasure in observing, that the affluent are coming fin-ward cheerfully to contribute to the relief of the distreshed by liberal subscriptions at the different hankers in the metropolis: an example which will be followed threughout the kingdom; as we understand that in diffin.ent cities and towns Gentlemen are associating (as on a fanner occasion fiir the Patriotic Fund) for the purpose of giving regularity, consistency, and energy to the efibrts of their fellow-citizens in the great cause of lnunanity.—The times are indeed distressing to great numbers, and the ability of many to contribute as they could wish is much limited; but let it be recollected, that the widow's mite is acceptable, and may be blessed like the widow't cruse of oil to allay hunger, till the re turn of a Season of prosperity. Let the Dignities of the church recommended collections, and the Clergy of every denomination, as on former occasions, urge upon their re spective congregations, not the fitness merely, but the necessity, of contributing, in the present emergency, to the utmost of their abilities ; and there can be but little doubt that a large sum may be obtained.—We need not add, that there should be no procrastination; for the wants of the sufferers are urgent and pressing. In the List of Subscriptions for the Relief of the La bouring and Manufacturing Poor, there is one that de serves particular notice. It is that of '2OOl. subscribed by his Royal Highness the Duke de Berri ; with an intima tion to subscribe 501. monthly until Spring. This is, in- (Led, a Princely donation; and, coming from a foreigner, its value is greatly enhanced by the liberal sentiments which it is calculated to inspire. Iler overwhelming wealth among the nations of Europe, has been long the bras! of England. Mr. Pitt never opened a Budget with out a splendid display of this pre-eminence in riches; and our system of subsidies and lavish expenditure were unfortunately received as irrefragable evidence of the truth of the statement. We begin now to feel the con sequences of this distinction, so very flattering to our vanity, in the universal jealousy of our trade and menu flieture the source of this boasted superiority of wealth, which itervades the nations of the Continent. The boasts of our wealth, they regard as reproaches upon their po verty ; and, asserting the dignity of humor nature, they are tired of being considered dependants I.pon British bonuty.—With this feeling, they all regard British mer chandise as the natural enemy of their greatness ; and to assuage this prejudice is the first duty of every friend to British interests. In this view, we consider the donation of the Duke de Beth as of inestimable value ; as tending to encourage that spirit of universal philanthropy, which constitutes the best security for the permanent peace and repose of' nations. The Duke of N't eliington is making the most of his short stay in this country : he goes about from place to place with his characteristic activity. On i . .mrstLy se'nnight he came to town from Cheltenham ; on Friday he went to Hatfield ; on Saturday he returned to Lon don ; Tuesday he proceeded again to Hatfield, to be ut a ball given by the Nlarchioness of Salisbury ; Wednesday, his Brace went to Wanstead House, to be present at the christening of Mr. Long Wellcsley's second son, on which occasion a grand entertainment was given.—The Duke and Duchess arrived at eleven, and at twelve o'clock the ceremony of baptism was performed by the Rev. Mr. Gilley, !lector of Wanstead. The sponsors were lord Fitzroy Somerset and the Marquis of Worcester. The finmer being absent, Mr. Wellesley stood for his Lordship. Al one o'clock waltzing and country dances commeaced. and at half-past two the company sat down to the ban quet. Every corer was of massive silver. Two rooms were appropriated—in the grand ball 144 sat don n, in the saloon adjoining 2140. The Duke of Wellington re tired before supper ; his Grave set off post for town. Dancing re-commenced at three. and did not conclude till nearly seven in the morning. The Mulles of Wel- lington staved until the party broke up. A great number of fleshionubles from London, and all the genteel fa milies fir twenty miles round, were present.—Thurs day the Lord Mayor gave a grand dinner to the Duke of Wellington, for the purpose of presenting to him the resolutions unanimously voted by the Court of Common Council for the victory of Waterloo. There were present, on this occasion. amongst other distinguished persons, the Dukes of Kent and Sussex, Earl Darnley, Lord Erskine, and Lord Clifton, Alder men, Ike. &c. The following incidents, which occurred to the Duke of Wellington, on his recent visit to Bristol, bear ho nourable testimony to the benevolence of his disposition: A Mr. Tripp, a respectable butcher. %vial his son, a lad about nine years of age, were both 11:1 One horse: the son, in the hurry and confusion of the moment, Uiu apparently in great hazard of being thrown. when the Duke starting tip, caught the child in his arm:, took hint into his own CAlliage, and during the remain& r of the precession Fafereil him to Alclllll hi:1111111 with his valet.

The Queen received a second communication• Thursday morning, informing her of the Duke being. better, and her Majesty received five mp-esses in the course of the day upon - the subject. Sir 0. plane ar rived in London on Friday, followed her Majesty to the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester's, in Piccadilly, and communicated the glad and welcome tidings of the Royal Duke being out of' danger. Tuesday the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester gave an entertainment to the whole of the inhabitants of the coun try in the vicinity of Bagshot,tocelebrate them:lna their wedding. The roads leading to. the Park were thren:.ett with carriages of various Oecriptions at an early hoer, as. well as equestrians and pedestrians..

An excellent dinner covered the temporary table, ltf't for the occasion, consisting. of roasted I e f and exec .h plum pudding, and tine old ale. After the assemblwe had taken their seats, the Royal Couple, arm in arm, walked round the table to view the enjoyment of their nciAbbours ; who, with due respe't, were rising Clan their scats to pay their grateful ha rage of respect; but the Royal Pair condescendingly insisted on their not disturbing themselves, as tl)y wished to see then: comfbrtuble and happy. The healths ef the amiable pair were then drank with enthusiasm, and fervent ;wishes es pressed that long lite and happiness might attend them. Several bands of music attendtd ; and after dinner the lads and lasses turned out, and dan el merrily on the lawn.
