The Papers contain none ofthe proceedings of the Legislature, not any accounts of the documents which were communicated with the President'?' Message. There appears to he a strong apprehension that an embargo will again be re* MI ted to » 18 a treasure which the commercial es- tates loudly deprecate. Sonfif advices of an interesting nature have been received from Madrid. A private Council of the. Ministers had been held, and another composed of Joseph, Jourdan, and D<> ul tanne. These meetings took place in coil sequence of intelli- gence from Guadalaxara, that I). Juan Martin, the Einpeci- nario, « as at Siguenza, and that he was marching towards the city by the road of Toaija and Brihuega. From the latter the garrison had been withdrawn to Guadalaxara, where it was strengthened by 250 men from A'cala. Precautions were taken to collect the wheat and other moveable property, which was in the neighbourhood of Tarancon, the Guerilla parties approaching that place in gieat strength. The Prefect of Toledo had stated the deficiency of his means for the support of his troops, and the reduction ofthe force was occasioned by the number of sick in the division of General Foy. Tt is stated in accounts from Gibraltar tothe 21st u't. that a boat had just arrived there from Vinaros in five days, which brought intelligence from thence of, tbe failure of three dif- ferent attempts made by Suqhet to obtain possession of Va- lencia it was added, that great mortality had tpken place in the French army, to which thousands had fallen victims. The t hreat of refusing quarter had heen held out, to intimidate the garrison and inhabitants ; but it had not produced the slightest effect on the undaunted spirit of the Spaniards, who appeared to be confident, in their strength, It is stated, that if will require twice asgteat a force as Suchet has under his command to make any serious impression on the place. It was, however, reported, that 10,000 men were advancing to his assistance, who had been detached from the army of Mar- mont. The amount of the Spanish force within the walls of Valencia is estimated at 6,000, including 4000 militia. Letters received from Buenos A vies tothe 20th of Septem- ber, state that no adjustment of the differences between that capital and Monte Video had taken place. The. negotiations, however, sti'l continued. In the mean time our trade in the river had suffered considerable obstruction, chbfly from the armed vessels cruizing under the authority of Elio; but it is said that notification has been given to the contended parties by Admiral de Courty, that the farther molestation of the ships of this country, iu consequence of the disputes, would not be peimitted, and that he insisted on due respect being paid to the Biitisb flag in their ports and on their coasts. The late President ofthe Junta of Buenos Ayres has been deposed, and an other clected iu his stead. By the last arrival from the Baltic, accounts are stated to have been received from Petersburg!), of Bonaparte having peremptorily demanded of the Russian Court, the immediate payment of the Dutch Loan. It is added that thi » demand produced a very sensible effect in the commercial circles, at Petersburgh. Pursuant to an arrangement, the Admiralty Court, yester- day, released several ships to the Swedish Claimants in addi- tion to those which were liberated under a like adjudication on Tuesday- Considerable reinforcements, we understand, are about to be sent to the Army in Portugal. It is also said, that several ships are soon to sail with a large supply of ordnance stores. Some transports loaded with small arms are to sail from Portsmouth, one of which, it is said, has 20,000 muskets, destined for the Guerillas on the Spanish frontier. This activity in forwarding supplies is of great importance at the present crisis. When the difficulty which Bonaparte has in maintaining troops at so great a distance from France ( a difficulty daily increasing by the exhausted state of the Peninsula) i3 considered, we may reasonably expect that our Army in Portugal will, in conjunction with its co operating Portuguese and Spanish corps, speedily be rai.- ed to a degree of strength far exceeding that of any force which Bonaparte can hope to bring against it. The Bulletins.— The Authors of the Bulletins have a strong apologist for the brevity of their iv ports in the Author of the Life o! the justly celebrated Dr. Mead, in the Biog. Britan. ed. ) 760. The writer says—" As his ( l) r. Mead's) reputa- tion was now sufficiently established, he was called in con- sultation to Queen Anne, two days before her death. They who are acquainted with Courts will easily conceive the situation of Physicians in the anti- chamber, or near the bed of a dying Sovereign : their hands hold the page of fate; from their words advantages are diawn, intrigues are formed, and by their very looks, inen and parties foretell their own rise or fall. The wise, therefore, ore the most reserved ; for fear of endangering their fortune or their art, they observe the mysterious ambiguity of ancient oracles, aud refer the inquisitive reader to nature and to time." There is a report that an intrigue has heen discovered in the Cabinet, similar, in some respects, to that which sepai ated Lord Castleri- agh and Mr. Canning. The object of the. present manoeuvre is said to have been the removal of Mr. Perceval, for the purpose of giving a paramount influence in Administration to one of its more ambitious members, who expected to rccall Mr. Canning to office, if a scat iu the Cabinet could thus be offered him. In tbe late affair ol General Hill, General Campbell, who commanded a Portuguese brigade, passing a Frenchman who was lying on the ground calling very loudly for mercy, his attention wes attracted, which induced him to enquire what he was. The poor fellow candidly told him he was a commissary's servant, and had 4000 dollars with him ! which was instantly taken possession of by our troops, and mercy shewn to the inau. Horrible Murder of a whole Family.— On Sunday morning, between the hours of twelve and two o'clock, the following dteadfui murders were committed in Ratclrffe Highway: — A Mr. aud Mrs. Marr ( lineu drapers), with their infant child, four months old, together with a servant lad, were all found murdered. The watchman had seen Mr Marr shutting up his shop windows a little after twelve. The servant girl had been sent out for oysters. On her return the door was shut, and she rang a long time, until the watchman returning, an alarm was given. The house was entered, and Mr. Marr, his wife, and servant bov, were found with their brains beat out. and scattered about the shop, and their child, with its thioat cut, in the cradle ! The murderers made their escape at the back of the house, without any plunder. A very large hammer or maul, was found on the premises, covered with blood, and a long iron chbsel, as used by bricklayers. The Police Officers have interrogated the servant girl, in the presence of the relatives of the deceased ; and her relation of a conversation which passed between Mrs. Mai rand a dis carded servant, during her pregnancy, is of a singular nature. It appears, Mrs Marr discharged this servant, named Wilkie, fiom a suspicion of her honesty. Words arose, when the ac< used gill is said to have held out a threat of murder. Mrs. Marr, at the time, gently rebuked her for using such language, and requested she would not alarm her at her advauced fctate of piegnancy. The i* irl frequently called after her discharge, and Mrs. M. as often remonstrated with her on her loose character and hasty temper; assuring the girl of her friendship and readiness to serve her, if she would reform her prostitute life, and return into honest service. The last time the girl called to see Mrs. Marr, she was dressed m a white gown, black velvet spencer, cottage bonnet with a small feather, and shoes with Grecian ties. Where the girl now resides, is not known by any of the deceased's relatives. It seems to be the general opinion of the Police, that the rnffiaife entered the shop the moment Mr. Mai r had closed his window shutters, and that thty introduced themselves by inquiring the price of black silk huudkefchirfrf, as. tliere were some found lying on the counters; and the servant girl is confident that there were none ot that description on the counter when she passed through the shop, on her way. into j the street.— The ship • carpenter** maul* which the murderer* ( left behind them in the h ur^ e, weighs about eight pounds ; it j is in she shape of an uiivil, with a wooden handle, inserted j nearly in tho middle. The weighty side is rounded at the j end like a hammer, for driving the sb; p bolts. It was wilh this murderous weapon the skulls of a'I the nufutuiiatt- sufferers were beaten in, and miserably fi act ured j but as a Knife vvas also used in cutting the throat of the child, and a third instrument, a ripping cbissel, was also found o: i the premises, it is obvious that there was more than oue person concerned iu these four atrocious murders. It would appeal, however, that there were only two; and that they entered at the s'ret- t door, and made their escape at the iear, is manifest, from the print of some feet in the yard.— Had the servant nviiJ beeu in the house, it is supposed the would have shaied the same late, and tli3t it was the intention of the robbers, having dispatched the whole famiiy, to renu iu in possession of the house, aud . strip the premises at their leisure. Tlie • whole of the property is estimated at « £ 3000j pait of the stock had been laid in within these few days.— Mr, Marr v as only 25 years of age, Mrs. Marr was three months young*' , imd had been married near two years. Yesterday the Coroner's Inquest wa-? held, on view of the four bodies; when the servant girl, Mr. Murray ( a next door neighbour, who first entered the house), and the watchman, were severally examined. But their evidence brought to to light no circbmst'ance by which even suspicion could attach to any person whatever ; and the Jury returned a verdict of Wilful Murder hy some person or persons unknown. No further information of importance respecting the per- petrators of the above murder, had been received to- day. Several persons are in custody, aud the officers of police are i ndefatigable in their researches. FROM THF. LONDON GAZETTE. DOWNING STREET, DEC. 14. A Letter, of which the following is an Extract, has been received from Colonel Green, employed on a particular Service in Calaluna* dated Vich, llth Nov. 1811. 1 feel very great satisfaction in informing your Lordship, that success has continued to favour all the enterprises of the Baron Eroles. From Cervera he marched by the Seo de Urgel to Puigcerda, dispersed the regular and militia force of the enemy, to tho amount " of about 1500 men, the latter suffering considerable loss. The Baron has succeeded in making contributions of different tcinds, corn, specie, & c. to the amount of upwards of 50,000 dollars from France; indeed, his small columns have entered Languedoc much farther than has been known since the Wars of Succession.— His contributions were levied vvith that judgment and exact- ness, that they were seldom opposed, the militia in very few instances attempted resistance, and the villages ih many confessing the justice of a retaliation.— The division of the Baron then returned into Spain by the, Val de Queroll; and two days ago I accompanied him to the Gariga, with the intention of attacking a convoy from Getona to Barcelona; hut the convoy having returned, I came to this city, which is for the moment head- quarters. Indeed, whenever the convoy shall attempt a passage, it will inevitably meet vvith a severe loss, a circumstance, in the present state ofthe French army in this province, I should conceive to be avoided, if possible; but the necessity of Barcelona now has become so great, that the loss would be nearly counterbalanced by the inconveni- ence.— At present no day arrives but the enemy lose men, and none but the Spanish arms gain recruits and confidence. — The enemy have begun to bombard the Meda* ; but the Governor writes word that no damage has been done ; and " uch is now the importance of this pouit of diversion, and interception of coasting convoys for Barcelona, that the Emperor has ordered them to he reduced to a- dies; aud the Spanish General has promised to hang the Governor, if he does not defend it till he has not a man left; and such ample time now has been given for its defence agaiust every aim and nature of ordnance, that not the smallest apprehension is entertained of its pregnability. ADMIRALTY- OFFICE, DEC. 14. Extract of a Letter from Captain Codrington, of the Blake, of 74 guns, dated off Malaro, on the coast of Catalonia, Nov. 1st, 1811. Catalonia, heretofore so distrustful, shews at present the most unbounded confidence in the Generals who lead her armies ; and the barbarities of the enemy, instead of quelling that spirit for which she has been renowned, have made sol- diers of her whole male population. Sanguine as'I have hereto- fore been, I am really astonished at the noble attitude to which the Principality is rising.— The Baron Eroles has fought another successful battle, on the 26th, near Puigcerda, in which he has lessened the numbers of the enemy, in killed, wounded, and prisoners, to the amount of 600; and he is now levying contributions in the neighbourhood of Mont Louis ( within the confines of France), without any opposition. [ The Gazette announces the capture of Le Roi de Rome, French xebeck privateer, of ten guns and 46 men, off the Island of Cyprus, by the Weazle sloop, Captain Peyton; and La Coursgeuse schooner privateer, of 14 guns and 70 men, oft* the Eddystone, by the Ilhin frigate, Capt. Malcolm. The Gazette also contains an offer of the King's pardon, and a reward of <£ 500 to any accomplice making a discovery of his associates in the late horrid murders of Mr. Marr's family, in Ratcliffe Highway.] SATURDAY, DECEMBER 14,1811. It was yesterday reported that the Physicians in attendance on the King at Windsor, had on Wednesday resolved to make an alteration in the tieatment of his Majesty's case by return- ing to the less coercive measures which they had used at the commencement of his disease. His Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex had on Wednesday a most violent attack of his complaints on account of the change in the atmosphere. His Royal Highncss's Physician in Ordinary, Dr. Fryer, passed the whole night with him, and such was the violence of the malady, that a;, moments a fatal termination was apprehended, as I lie respiration was greatly interrupted, with some veiy alarm ng symptoms: his Royal Highness, however, is somewhat recovered. Mr. Perceval has taken the Prince Regent's pleasure re specting the Civil List; and is said to have laid a plan before him for the several establishments tbeienn, which has receiv- ed the perfect approbation of his Royal Highness. The Serapis fiipatc has arrived at Portsmouth, with Mails from Malta and Gibraltar. The accounts from the South of Spam are of the most satisfactory nature. The letters from Valencia contain some interesiiiig particulars respecting the state of the siege and other military operations. Suchet occu- pies El ( Jrao de Valencia, at tbeuioulhof the G radalaviar and opposite to the citv of Valencia. There has been some skirmishing between the out posts, in which the Spaniards have in general been successful. The campaign in Andalusia is supposed to be at an end. B. illasteros h « s taken up his quar- ters at Los Barnos. Muicia is ravaged bv the yellow fever. In the city of Murcia alone 60J0 are said to have fallen vic- tims to it. The Gibraltar papers, received by the Comet sloop of war, contain a dispatch of considerable length, addressed by Lord Strangford to General Elio, the Governor of Monte Video, which, amongst other topics, s'. a. es, " that Great Britain pretends not to interfere in the internal concerns of Spanish America; but, as a common fiittud, offers her good offices and assistance lo a pacific compromise of differences." Paris Papers to tbe 5th instant have reached town. It ap- pears by a letter front Vienna inserted in these papers, that negotiations tor a Pcace between the Turks and the Russians have commenced at Giurgewo. Letters were yesietday received from the coast, which state, that tbe ilrest tl- et ventured a few days ago to make its ap- pearance on the outside of the hatbour. The enemy came so far out that the ships were nearly brought to action, hut a shift of wind favoured them, and they returned, after ex- changing a few shots with the headmost of our blockading squadron. Letters received by the way of Holland, contain advices frotn St. Petersbnrgh, to tbe llth November, by which it seems that the Government there is totally incapable of an- swering tbe demand made by Bonaparte for the. repayment of the Dutch Loan ( about one million sterling in specie) and that this difficulty is likely to occasion an early aud serious disa- gieement between Russia and France. The East Indiu Directors have entered into a resolution, not lo drink at their own tables, or at Ihose of other persons, any wines whatever of Fiench production, until it shall appear that tlje exchange is iu favour of this country. We trust that this example will be generally followed. The ship Isabella and Margaret is arrived from Teneriffe, after a short passage of 20 days. The Captain says he slipt his cable, to avoid the dieadlul effects of the epidemic fever, which raged with tne greatest tury at the time of his depar- ture. According to his report, not less than 250 persons were daily cairied off by it. An uncommonly large shaik was Ir.' e'v killed at Penrvn; bis length was 31 feet, ( tilth round 13 ieet, height 8J feet, uiou h feet wine ; weight Seven tons. The Chancellor signified his iuiemirra yesterday of making it auorder, or rule or Court, that no Barrister should sit as a Commissioner on a ba.- kruptcy in which he might be a credi- to . Lots'of lite Saldanha Frigate.— We are sorry to have to lay before our reuders the following extracts from letters received I'M, in Londonderry; dated the 7tn in.- t.— On Saturday, the adth ulr. the Saldan'ia frigate in Company with the Talbot sloop of war, sailed on a cruizo to the westward from their station in Loughsuilly. Eaily on Wednesday, the 4th instant, it blew a gnle ol wind, which increased until Evening, when it became i. violent storm— From Ihe knowledge that these \ es- sels were of ihe coast," the win I N. W, blowing directly upon it, much apprehension was entertained. Thursday passed over without any information, but on Friday morning some persons came up from Liughsu illy, and. stated that several pieces of wreck were found upon t ie coa » t, with ihe mjrk of Saldanha on* the timber. This excited great anxiety, but this evening produced ceitain information ol tne total loss, of the snip on shore, and a mere wreck without a siugie soul having escaped alive, Upwards of 200 of the dead holies had been cast on shore, among which was that of Capt. Pakenhain, who was bur rit d this day , he had nothing on him when taken up but hi.- shirt and nightcap. The Saldanh^ was a fine fri- gate, of 38 guns, commanded by the Hon. Capt, Pakuuham, brother to tbe F. arl ol Longtoid. A gcrttlewiait'. just arrived from Sweden" states, that not only the people hut tiie government of that country entertain tlit! most favourable,. disposition towaids England, and that there is eveiy reason to believe that the British shipping sequestrated at Ca'rlshanv* *' ill be restored to its owners. By an arrival from France this day we have the pleasure to find, that our coUutrvmeu so long under durance in that territory have some li'rle indulgence granted them, so that by giving bail for each ol her they are frequently permitted to quit Verdun and other depots, to travel in the severa depat tnien's, either for business, health, or amusement. Mr. Walsh's name appears amongst the bankrupts in this night's Gazette; and it will probably become a legal ques. tion of no small importance, whether the property found in his possession will nhimately be restored to Sir Thomas Plomer, or be considered as as- e: s belonging to the creditors. On Thursday, a most . respectable meeting of the University, County, and To*> n ot . Cambridge, took place at the Town Hall, the Right Hon. tbe Earl of " Hardwicke in the Chair, for the purpose of forming an Auxiliary Bihle Society, lo assist the London Society, fur tbe distribution of the Bible,' without note or comment. Several resolutions were passed, th? chief of which were in substance to this purpose:— That an Auxiliary Bible Suciety be formed for the University, County, and Town of Cambridge ; that there be three Patrons, a President, and thirty Vice- Presidents, ten of whom shall be Members of the University, and the remainder twenty Gentle- men of the Town and County.

This morning an officer arrived at the Admiralty with dispatches, containing the details ol' the capture or Batavia, in the Island of Java. The substance was shortly after communicated to the Lord Mayor by the following Bulletin, which was immediately exhibited on the front of the mansion House: Admiralty Office, December lG. MY LORD— 1 have the honour to acquaint your lordship, that Captain Stafford, of his Majesty's shipOt ter, arrived at this office early this morning, with dispatches from Rear- Admiral the Hon. Robert Stopford, addressed to Mr. Croker, aud dated Balavia Roads, 2Sth of August last, communicating the satisfactory intelligence of the capture of the city of Batavia, and the greater part of the enemy's European forces in the Island of Java, by his Majesty's naval and military " forces, under the command of Rear- Admiral Stopford and Lieutenant- General SirS. Auchmiify. The troops were landed on the 4lh of August, Batavia surrendered at discretion on the 8th, aud on thc^ Gth the enemy's strongly entrenched and fortified works at Carncles, were forced by his Majesty's troops, and the greater part of their force killed or taken prisoners. The seamen and marines of the squadron were landed to co- operate with the army, which they did with great gallantry and advantage to the public serf ice, and 1 am happy to add, with the com- paratively small loss of fifteen seamen and marines killed, and six officers and nineteen seamen and marines wounded. I have the honour to be, & c. C. YORKE. The military disjjatches arrived some timre after the above, but owing Xo tile( absence of Lord Liverpool their Contents were not transmitted to the Lord Mayor. They were brought by Captain Tylden, military secretary to Lieut- Gen. Sir S. Auchniuty. They are of great length, hut the following is the substance of them :— The British forces landed ou the 4th of August, within twelve miles of Batavia, which capitulated on the 8th. Oh the loth, the troops had a sharp affair with the choice part of General Jansen's army.— On the 26th, they assaulted the works of Carneles, and dispersed the whole of the French army, except a small party of horse, which escaped with General Jansen. About 2000 of the enemy were Mlled, and 5000, including 3 Generals, ycre taken prisoners. The loss of the British consists of 1 Lieut.- Colonel, 3 Captains, 9 Lieutenants, 2 Ensigns, 98 Europeans, and 20 Natives, killed >^- And 3 Lieutenant- Colonels, 2 Majors, 14 Captains, 36 Lieutenants, 7 Ensigns, 530 Europeans, 110 Natives, wounded. A mail from Lisbon arrived on Saturday night. Govern- ment at the same time received dispatches from Lord Wellington, dated the 27th last The Lisbon papers are to the 2d instant.

SALMON.— The great local and national advantage which will be dertved by the attainment of those . hjects which the Severn Associations are so laudably endeavouring to ac- complish, is illustrated aud confirmed by a fact recently ascertained by Mr. Ellis, of Minsterworlh, near Glocester. This gentleman took the roe out of a salmon of 171b. and counted the eggs, which amounted to 11,352. In supposing this number of salmon to average, in 1- 2 months, lolb. the quantity of food produced by one salmon would he 110 less than 50 tons, 13 cwt. 44lb.; equal to the produce of 100 acres of wheat, at SO bushels per acre, when couverted into flour, at 561b. per bushel. At a meeting of the inhabitants of Hereford, on Monday, it was resolved to adopt all possible means for the preserv- ation of the fish in the rivers Wye and Lugg. Fatal temerity.— Saturday last two boys, each about twelve years of age, had the presumption lo dare one another to a most dangerous act, at the Mill of Mr. Hales, ofWhixlinll near Prees, in this county, namely, which should take up stones laid nnder the sails of it, while going with considera- ble velocity, in the short interval of time between sail and sail as they came round; he who could perform it twice in that time was to be considered the hero of the day. In the attempt, however, one of them fell a victim to his folly— lie was struck down, and his dying agonies witnessed by his almost distracted parents. A silversmith in Newcastle upon- Tyne having given no- tice of his intention to issue silver tokens, for general cir- culation, tbe bankers and principal tradesmen of that town and its vicinity determined to refuse all local tokens what- ever in payment; and the latter signified their resolution by public advertisement. A great iron- master is stated to have failed in the neigh- bourhood of Wolverhampton, for £ 350,000. At a meeting of the inhabitants of Wolverhampton, on Thursday last, they resolved " That tl. e great influx of silver and copper tokens issued by individuals, companies, and corporations, is becoming a serious public grievance ;" and they agree with each other to discontinue the receiving of them in payment. When the vast utility lo scholars and men of business of the three Dictionaries, advertised ii: our first page, is duly considered, it is matter of wonder that tiie English language has not heretofore been provided w ith works ofthe same description, which confer so much practical utility on Literatme. Woodcocks.-— 011 Wednesday week, the Gamekeeper of Sir JohnThomas Stanley, Burt, of Anlerley Park, Cheshire, killed NINE Woodcocks at TEN shots, in the covers at Alderley. On the 1st instant, Edward Sutton, an inhabitant of Nottingham, was found dead iu a ditch, in fhe parish of West Bridgford near that place. I11 his coat pocket was found a gun, so constructed that the butt end could be taken off, the more conveniently to carry it in a concealed manner, a quantity of powder and shot, nn engine called a snare, for deiitroying game, and wire and string for Ihe pur pose of making more It is supposed that the gun went oft' by accident, as his waistcoat on the left breast was very much discoloured hy the powder ; the shot had entered the left temple, lorn off a piece of the skull, and taken away part of the ( brains.— Verdict of the Coroner's Jury, ac idental death . We lament to find that the disposition to disturbance has not yet subsided in Nottinghamshire, and ttial the deluded frame- breakers still carry on their destructive proceedings The spirit of disorder had spread inlo Derbyshire, but we believe has beeu suppressed. The mose active measures are in execution to prevent it from being communicated to Leieestei shire. There are already 30 prisoners for t. iial at the nt'X( assizes for the County of Glocester. The Dublin papers state that his Royal Highness the Duke of Clarence was at a public dinner at Portsmouth sometime ago, when the result of Dr. Sheruiau's trial was announced; he instantly scizen the opportunity of expresiug himself highly satisfied with the verdict, and of declaring at the same lime, that all his brothers, with the exception of the Duke of Cumberland, are decidedly favourable lo the great cause of Catholic emancipation— His Royal Highness was further observed to declare that the great obstacle, namely, the prejudices in tbe mind of his Royal Father agaiust the Catholics, 110 longer could prove oper- ative, and that of course that great portion of his Majesty's subjects were speedily to be emancipated.

However high the Doctor ranks as a Scholar, his friends have neither consulted his reputation as a writer, nor his character as a christian, by obtruding this Letter upon the public: " For it is hardly possibte to conceive," says a peiiodical writer, " that any person sincerely desirous of advancing ihe kingdom of Christ, conld raise his indignant quill against such an Institution as the Bible Society." There is nothing- new either in the arguments or reasoning of Dr. MARSH.— Thev have been confuted again and again by Lord TEIGNMOUT. B, in his Letter to Dr. Wonnswoa- rii; in a - Letter also to Dr. GASKIN ; in the more elaborate and unanswerable work of Mr. DEAI. TRT, Chaplain to the Bishop of Bristol; and by the following clear and convincing testimony of the late venerable Bishop of London, Dr. PORTEUS,— A Divine no less attached to the Church of England than the Professor himself, and far distinguished above him, both as a man and a Christian. " THE BIBLE SOCIRTV," he savs, " is now well know, and firmly established, and has completely triumphed over all the attempts made to destroy it. None of those = ecret dark designs, none of those plots and conspiracies to subvert the Establishment and devour both the shepherds aud their flocks, which were so confidently predicted by a certain set of men as the inevitable effect of this society, have yet been discovered in it. It is, in fact, much better employed. It goes on qdlgtly and steadily in the prosecution of its great object, and pays'no sort of regard to the sneers and cavils nf its intemperate opponents. * * * * 1 cannot but add in justice to this society, which bas been so much opposed, misrepresented, and traduced, that all the important works in which it has been engaged, have been carried on with the utmost harmony antl unanimity ; without any difference of opinion; without the slightest symptom of any hostile or treacherous design against Ihe church; and without any other idea upon their minds, but that of extending, as widely as possible, ihe knowledge of Ihe Christian Scriptures. The Bishops of Durham and" Salisbury attended several of their meetings, and were delight, d with tbe decorum, calmness, and good temper, with which their proceedings were con- ducted. In short, all the appiehensions, to which this society has given rise, are now found to be but train terrors ; and nil the prophecies of the mi- chief and evil, that would result fiom it, are falsified by FACTS. It is rising uniformly in reputation and tredit ; gaining new accessions of- strength and trvenue; and attaching to itself more and more thc approbation aud support of every real friend to the thurch and to religion." The Benefit of fhe British and Foreign Bible Society has been extended both to those " who are near, and to those who are afar otF." There is hardly a part of the habitable globe where it lias not sent forth the " Glad Tidings of Salvation," and thousands are at this moment, both in this and foreign countries, blessing the Father of Mercies, and the God of all Consolation, for its institution, and supplicating its continuance and en- largement. " 1 * there," savs thc Report of the Manchester and Snlford Auxiliary Bible Society,—" Is there at this time a ray of holy light cheering the dark abode of the pool Esquimaux ? Has the Day- star risen in his heart, relieving the darkness of the shatlow of death? YOUR SOCIETY has apart in the dispensation of the blessing, and a recompense already in the sweetness of the reflection 1 Is there a poor foreigner, whom the fate of war has brought into tbe prisons of this happier land, whose fainting soul is now tasting refreshment at the Fountain of Life ? He owes that refreshment to the Bible, which has been graciously putinto his hsrid ; and YOU a SOCIETY shares in the glory of Ihe blessed ministration! Is Poland about to have a Bible in her native tongue, for the hapless millions of her afflicted population ? Assuredly she is— her consolation is near at hand: and for this she is indebted, under a favouring Providence, to tbe rich munificence of ihe BRITISH AND FOREIGN BIBLE SOCIETY; and every subscriber to tbe provincial institution ( WHO does not envy him the puie delight?) hath the privilege of being atrxiliaiv to this divine and merciful work, hy the association of his bounty with the funds and Christian benevolence of tbe parent society." A MEMBER OF THE ESTABLISHED CHURCH. To the Editor of the SALOPIAN JOURNAL. MR. EDITOR, I beg you to insert the following observations on Professor MARSH'S Address to the University of Cam- a similar society, under ihe patronage and at the recom- mendation of the Duke of Bedford; as bath the countv, of Bucks, under that of tbe Marquis of Buckingham, sr ve al qtliei Peers, and tbe Members for the county antl boroughs there. I should not wonder to see both our Archbishops, all our Bishops and their clergy, eagerly flocking to the same object. Shall Dr. Marsh use bis influence to make the Clergy the LAST to bring back Vie ( knowledge of the) King ot Israel! I will now give mv reasons why I do heartily wish we 1 to the cause of the British and Foreign Bible Society, and why I prefer it fo any institution in the world. 1. It is the tmlv institution for distributing the pure, unadul- terated word of Cod, and which allows nothing disputable to take place by it's very constitution. • 2. li is the only society which permits its members to purchase books to sell at lo in prices lor I he u « e of the poor. Herein it differs from tlie Society for promoting Christian Knowledge, in which every member must, besides bis subscription, gi. ee may all the books purchased gratis, except in the case of being a subscriber to a charity school Tor it's use only. Now a mem- ber may afford a guinea a year, but he may be unwilling to give five guineas more in lrooks, w hich he must do or fall short of the Society's allowance to supply Ins neighbours with books. 3. I come to the B: ble Society with a case of poverty, antl can procure books grata- if the case is made out to the Committee : hut there is no such allowance in tbe old society. 4. J demand my books from the Bible Society as my right. But at Bartlett's Buildings I am to request it as a grant from their Committee, who then order them, if ihey think p'oper, 5. Admission to this society is open to all persons. All may lend a helping hand to diffuse the Sacred Scriptures This is more than even the friends to the Establishment can promise themselves in Ihe amiert society. There have been exceptions taken against the admission of even clergymen of the most unsullied reputation. It was time that persons of every class might be allowed an opportunity to do good. 6. 1 admire the Bible Society for the very reason which Dr. Marsh dislikes it. It is a point of union, in which, bow- evei Ihev may differ in minor points, Christians all agree to unite their endeavours to disseminate as widely as possibte the Holy Scriptures, on which they all profess to build their only hopes of future happiness, as well as their present comfurt antl spiritual improvement. Iconce- ve that divisions are not de- sirable, antl I see Ihe sacred Scriptures command me to avoid th'm as much as possible, and consequently to heal tbem i: tbey exist to the utmost of my power. We are therefore in duty bound, to join with our brethren who dissent from us, in all things lawful and expedient, as a proper means to heal dif- ferences arid to become of one mind as much as may be. Those who are otherwise minded, will do well to consider what St. Paul says, Mark them icho cause divisions and offences among you, and avoid them, fir such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their men bellies. Zeal for party interrsts thing very different from, and utterly inconsistent with, a warm attachment to the prosperity of the Chuich tif the Living God, all over the world. The former says, L'. rel, saw one casting out devils in thy name, and he fotlowelh not with us. The other adopts the reply of our Saviour, and says Forbid him not, for he icho is not ogainst us is on our side. I have only to add, that continuing to be a subscriber antl member of the venerable Society in Bartlett's Buildings, I sincerely wish it may prosper, and he a means of conveying good to the latest generations.

MONTGOMERYSHIRE. : University bridge, on the expected proposal for au Auxiliary Bible Society in that place, by AN OLD SUBSCRIBING MEMBER OF THE SOCIETY FOR PROMOTING CHRISTIAN KNOWLEDGE. The Professor, to obviate tbe claims to patronage of this Bible Society, mentions two societies for distributing Bibles already existing, one. founded in 1699, anil the other in 1 804; fhe former of these, he asserts is exclusively supported by members of the Established Chuicb, but with respect to this circumstance he is not quite correct. Mr. Professor, when writing upon this subject, ought not to bave been silent re- specting a third society instituted in the year 1730, denomi- nated a Society for promoting Religious Knuivledge among the Poor, which is supported by Members of the Establish- ment in conjunction with Dissenters, exactly as the present Bible Society is supported. This society, as well as that in Bartlett's Buildings, did not confine itself to ihe distribution of Bibles, but distributed gralis Bibles and other books, from a list which has had very few additions made to it, since the list K as first chosen. The authors admitted weie highly respectable, aiid were selected from Churchmen and Dissenters. This society bas existed above 60 years, and seems to have kept perfectly clear fiom a party spirit, at least, if there has been any undue leaning towards dissent, it has not been such as to alarm Dr. II Marsh. Here has been au actual ex- eriment, not of seven but of 61 years, and no evil yet bus been even pretended. It has been suggested that, for a few years back, tbe management of our ancient society has fallen into different hands from those who formed it. A striking proof of this is afforded by the different view in which some modern members of Ihe Bartlett's Buildings Society take of the Briiihaud Foreign Bible Society, to what their predecessors did of the society for promoting Religious Knowledge airong the Poor, when that society was instituted in 1750. Their predecessors hailed this as a sister society, and they agreed to afford each other all the assistance in their power. It is said by the Professor, that the funds of the Bible Society are greater than those of the Society for promoting Christian Knowledge ; and this is given as a reason why the Bible Society lias been able to spread the Bible in Foreign Countries, as well as at home, to a greater extent than the ancient society. Rut if the merits of the two societies are to be fairly considered, a reference should be made to Mr Profesior Dealtry's answer to Dr. Wordsworth's objections to becoming a member of the Bible Scciety. It will there be found, that the ancient society had very large revenues inde- pendent of subscriptions, one only of which amounted to about .£ 3300 per annum, a legacy from a Dutch Presbyterian nobleman, who died iu I/ md0n in 1791 ; this, wilh their other funds, amount to <£ 5800 per annum. Their income with subscriptions, amounts to at least £ 16,000 per annum and they have been in possession for more than a century of this, or sav iu former years 11 or £ 12,000 only ( for thc sub scriptions to this socieiy have been gieatly augmented since the formation of the Bible Society); and yet this society could not luruish Bibles for Wales only, afler waiting 11 years petitioning in vain, or in all probability the British and Foreign Bible Society would not at length have been formed. P, ut the institution of the Bible Society has awakened tbe zeal ol its predecessor, which till lately was not known lo many members of the Church, and the University of Cambridge; vide Professor Dealtrv'. s Answer to Wordsworth. All lire Bishops in the old Society ( excepting six) are com- paratively young members, ihe oldest bs ing onlv 25 years such. Dr. Marsh himself became a member only in 1801, ant! Dr. Wordsworth still later, in 1803, the year in which the Bible Society was first proposed. Tbreeoflbe seven Bishops who wcie the oldest members of the Society for promoting Christian Knowledge, were zealous advocates for the Bible Socicty. Among other instances of the removal of party pie judice in some, and cf mistaken notions in otheis respecting | the interference cf this society with that for promoting Chris- tian Knowledge, I am just informed that the Very Rev. the DRIIN of Westminster, who four years ago refused to become' a subscriber on that ground, lately lent bis ten guineas to one of the Secretaries, and desired that his name might ap- pear among its members. The University, and town and v ninty of Cambridge, under Ihe patronage and rccommenda- n4i, of his Royal Highness the Chancellor, theViecchaneellor, mo 1m Earl of Hardwick, met last Thursday, to form a i ;. xniary Bible Society, The county ol Bedford has forme ; Breach of Trust.~- An offender ot rather high rank is in custody, oa a charge of having decamped with ,£ 16,000. with which he was intrusted by Sir Thomas I'lomcr, Ihe Solicitor- General, to invest in the funds.' The delinquent in question is Mr. W al-. li, the Mem- ber for Wooton- Bassett, formerly an eminent Stock- broker. The sum originally placed in the hands of ti e broker mas .622,000 Tor the purchase of Exchequer bills. About <£ 5,510 only of that sum were expended in lhat way on Thursday morning. In the i- v eaiu the broker waited upon his principal, to state lhat the order could only beexeculed in part, and lhat he had paid the remainder of the cash, to the amount of ,£ 15.000, into Goslings anil Co. the Knight's hankers ; to prove which, he produced a receipt from lire house for that suui, which ent- rely satisfied Sir T. P. It was pcrlec. lv true that at about live o'clock on tlie Thursday, the broker paid into the house of Gosling antl Co. his check on Curtis and Co. on account of SirT. P. to the amount in que, tion ; but it was at too late an hour to clear'. lie dralt in the usual way; end no suspicion being attached to the transaction, the matter stood over till next evening, when it was found that there were no effects at llie broker's hankers. Sir T. was immediately apprised of ihe circumstance, and on the same evening drove down to Hackney, to require an explanation ; wnen he was toltl by the broker's wife, that her husband had gone to I eland. It was not until then that Sir T. was convinced he liad heen duperl of his money, and took the means to recover it. The several ports were telegraphed on Saturday morning on the business, but at that period the fugitive had got two d3ys start. He was however pursued by Adkins and Sir '!'. Plomer's solicitor, atitl found at bieaklast at an Hotel at Falmoulh. His intention was to have- sailcd for America, but the vessel he- had engaged was prevented frc. ni putting to sea. Shares of American Stock were found upon hini lo tin; amountof -£' 10,000, also £ 47 in Bank of England notes, and a bag containing 71 doubloons worth about £ 3 12s. each,- with oilier Spanish and Portuguese money. He has undergone two examinations, and was remanded for a third. Il appeared in the course of the examination lhat one of Walsh's clerks received a letter from him on Saturday morning, confessing to him that he hr. d inatle off with money that did not belong lo him,- and desiring him not to sav where he was, if he. d; s, ove'retl itby the postmark. He promised to remit him the money he owed him; and enclosed a letter directed to Sir Thomas Plomer, desiring him lo take, it to SirThomas, but not till between ( hree and I'ouro'clock in the afternoon ; however, the clerk finding his master bad heen acting- wrong, took it to Sir Thomas iu the morning, soon alter he received it by thc post.

Heaviness in his Head, which soon deprived him of the Sight of that eye; the other daily becoming weaker, 1 feared the total Loss of both. I had recourse to different Applications, but without Relief, till fortunately I was recommended to Mr. KILEBS, of Hanmer, who attended him at my House, and has made a perfect Cure of him, the Truth of which I am willing to go a hundred Miles to attest, if required ; as Witness my Hand, EDMUND JONES Witness to the above Cure, K.

Hughes was afflicted with violent Pain, Inflammation, and strong Humour in his right Eye, which brought on a large Skin> and de- prived him of the Sight of it: the other Eye was so much affected that he was in danger of losing it; every thing that is usually done on tho- e Occasions was done for him by the Medical Men v\ ho attended him, but to no Purpose, as his Disorder continued to increase with unabated Violence ; when hearing of the many Cures performed by Mr. KREBS, and being strongly recommended to put him under his Care, I sent for him to mv House, where he attended him, and I have the inexpressible Satisfaction to say ba* made a per- fect Cure, the Truth of which I am willing to attest; as Witness my Hand.

Copy of a letter from J. Makepeace, Esq. of Hexham, Northum- berland, to \ Mr. Ramsay, Apothecary, Penrith. SIR, Hex/ mm, June 22, 1811. I ivai most grievously afflicted with the Rheumatism for several years, particularly across my loins and my Hip, and Knee Joints, which at times completely deprived me of the power of walking. I had the advice of several eminent Physi- cians, and by their recommendations went to Bath and tried the effects of the Waters, without gaining any relief. After making use of various Medicines to no purpose, I by the advice of a Friend, was induced to try your Medicine, from the use of which I am happy to say 1 have received the greatest relief, as I can now walk without pain or lameness, and enjoy as cood health as can be expected at my advanced period of lite, being in my 87th year, which f attribute solely to the use of your invaluable Medicine. You have my full liberty to make what rise you think pro- per of this Letter. I am, your obedient Servant, JOHN MAKEPEACE.

I****** ******** of PREES HEATH, near Whitchurch, being induced", for the Benefit of inv Fellow Creatines, to lay my Case before the Public, did authorize Dr. SMITH, of Upton Magna, near Shrewsbury, to publish an Account of the Cine I received by taking bis PLOUG H MAN's DROPS: and do now voluntarily come forward, and make the following Statement: — Being at Wellington, in the County of Salop, in July. 1809, where I followed my Employment of a Shoemaker, I perceived I had contracted the Venereal Disease. I made immediate Application to a Professional Gentleman there, under whose Care 1 continued for a considerable Time, without experiencing any Iteliel whatever, but, on the con- trary, found myself grow worse and worse, till at length I was reduced to a melancholy Situation indeed, by the internal antl external Use of Mercury. Hopeless of receiving any Benefit, and having both my Constitution and Patience nearly worn out, 1 gave up all Hopes of being cured by the Mer- curial Preparations, which only exhausted my Frame, without, in the least Degree, abating the Virulence of the Disorder, which by this Time was arrivetl to an alarming Pitch indeetl; 1 took the Resolution of returning to my Home, near Whit- church, and seeking Relief elsewhere. I put myself under the Care of another Gentleman of the Faculty, who gave me some Relief, and as I thought cured me; but, after some Time, the Disorder broke out with greater Violence than ever, and my Condition nearly reduced roe to Despondency. Having 110 Hopes from the Faculty, who had entirely failed in their Efforts to eradicate the Disorder, it was now that 1 found one of Dr. SMITH'S Bills of *' Comfort to the Afflicted," and determined 011 iriving it a Trial: I bought a Bottle of Mr. Jones, Printer, Whitchurch. On the third day of taking it 1 found wonderful Alteration for tbe heller, antl before I had finished the first Bottle, I had the chraring Prospect before me of being at last cured of this afiiicting Disorder, and before I had finished the third Bottle, I found myself in a Situation far different from what I was when I left Welling, ton; I had now comfortable Sleep at Night, my Spirits returned, aud my Health was completely re- established.— Thus, by taking tbe inestimable PLOUGHMAN'S DROPS, was I rescued fiom the Grave, and a State bordering on Despair.
