J5t the- west of the town lives a maiden whose days Are deep in a state of declension, . Ami she like the rest of her sisterhood pays To monkies and cats her attention. One morn Mr. Pug broke the ring of his chain, And pleased from its weight to be lightened. Ran about till he saw In his humorous vein, A boot Warren's Blacking had brightened. Surprised, yet afraid of its beauty, he eyes His face in its elegant hue. Yet to mischief inclined seized a cat as his prize, And brought bee the wonder to view. Eut the Cat, not so frightened as Pug, made no more To do. bnt she at the boor ratlPd, She howled and she scratched, ami she ranted and tore, One wou'd have thought there was twenty embattled. The lady came in in the midst ofthe fray. The monkey jumped upon her shoulder, And screaming and fear struck she hobbled away, No being on earth could then hold her. Ob save me ! oh save mc ! she furiously cried To her footman who ran out to find her. But like her he thought that Old Nick he espied, In the shape of poor Pug cling behind her. But no sooner he entered and saw the fair boot. So brightly and jettily beaming. Than be knew WARREN'S 11' a* ting alone was the root Of all the disorder and screaming. To his lady the cause was no sooner made known, Aiid she too the bright boot had seen, Than shewdered with WARREN'S Jet / Hacking atone, Her boots and her shoes'thev would clean.

Translation of the Tale of IIERO and LEANDES, from tie Greek of MOSJSUS, by Mr. ADAH. THE story of the Loves of HERO anil LEANDER, and their sad catastrophe, has for many ages he « n admired for its beautiful simplicity, and faithful de- lineation of the powers of beauty over youthful minds. A translation of this beautiful little I'oem tvas published many year* ago, but is now little known, so- that - fir. ' A DAM 8- Essay,- a hr « t'essay We be! eve at translation from the Greek, has in a great measure novelty to recommend. it, as well as more povtcirXiiI ekiiniS- toTavourabW- consiileratiiin.— How verv difficult the task is to translate well, is known to- all: whvi - lia've made the atfe'm'pt ; and ( Juencewliic. il they would otherwise perhaps never hate i biained. The vigilance of the Royal Government, its evident endcavoiirs lo introduce into all branches of the Adminis- tration essential improvements, and the general attach- ment to a Monarch who had gained tee hearts of his sub- jects by his paternal kindness, baffled, duting the first years after the restoration of the legitimate Government, till the farther enterprises of that sect ; and like- many other similar societies, it would, in time, have fallen into oblivion and insignificance, had not'the events, of which Spain was the theatre at the beginning of 18- 2CI, given it new energy. It now doubled its activity ; and. by the contagious influence " of fanatical doctrines working on people's minds, soon increased its influence so much, that the Laws atrd t! Police were no longer strong enough to check it. It diffused with restless activity a spirit of dis- content— a disposition of hostility to the Government, and a passionate longing for innovation among all classes of a hitherto quiet and contented people, and it succeeded at length, by persuasion and stratagem, in seducing a ' part of the military from their duty. Supported bv this most criminal of all measures, the sect caused the Revolu- tion to break out in the beginning of July. The history of this cannot be more correctly given than in . tbe Circular Letter addressed at tfie time by the Minister for Foreign Affairs iimnedi ttely upon entering upon hi, office to the the utthnaium of the Congress of T. ayhaclt, lie was inter- rupted by reiterated t ries of War ! War 1 War!" front all parts at tire Assembly. I have not seen a copy of the vtllmatUm, but learn that the following are the principal points contained in it; " I. That tlie Neapolitans shall abandon the .^ panisti Constitution, and adopt that cf the British ua, ion. with some corrections and modifications suitable to Naples. " 2. That, during the period while this ri'- orgrinisatioii; shall be effecting, and for six years afterwards, the capttat of the kingdom of the Two Sicilies, - rod all the furtre shall be occupied by Austrian garrisons. " o. On these conditions a general amnesty will be ac- corded. ' And, ' •' 4. The pay and subsistence of Are Austrian troops will not be at the charge of the Neapolitan nation." The circulation of the terms of the ultimatum in Naples' produced the highest degree of excitement in the public' mind. Every man is ready to die in defence of the liber- ties ofthecountry. The military dispositions are proceeci- Ncapolitan Ambassadors at Foreign Courts. ( The pas- sage relating to the desertion of the regiment Bourbon on the ilight of the 1st July is here quoted). This first victory was only the prelude to a decisive blow. The next clay the rebels forced the Monarch to proclaim the Spanish although we do not consider that at present under ; consideration as faultless, it vet possesses so much j merit, that It may justly be said to be of much! promise. » •• I « - s « wie- i- » sta » ec9,- tin*- tWHwlaturjrrrgnrd*] to the strict meaning of the original has rendered ; his expressions somewhat uncouth to the English j reader— but he is often very happy in . expressing I the author's sense in smooth and unexceptionable English - verse. The following Extracts are fair Specimens of the Style of the whole Translation : Of Hero's lamp, and secret nuptials, sing, Ye nymphs that haunt the sweet Castaliall spring; Offam'd Abydos, atrd the sea that bore The bold Leandcr. to the Sestian shore. Methinks I see th' advent'rous lover brave, With dauntless breast, the gwefl. ing ocean's wave ! At 1 watchful Hero rushes on my sight, With her wan torch, that sVieds its gliinm'ring light. Fanv'd tore- ! th' immortal Deities above - Should make thy light . the faithful star of love: J- Yr oft L. e'ander, led by love aj) d thee,. Stemm'd the wild billows of the raging sea ; Dutfail'd afjast, when, on that fated night, . The rising tempests kill'd thy saving light. Ye Power.- ! whom song and melody obey, Attend propitious, anil inspire my lay. In Sestos' temples, on a festal day, Their hallow'd rites, and suppliant vows to pay To fair Adonis and the Paphian queen, Fro'm. ev'ry cfime the joyous youths convene; From sweet Hannbiiia. and from Cyprus* land, From gav Cythera, and Abydos' strand ; And they by lofty Lebanon who dwell, A nd breathe the incense of the balmy- gale : No youth was wanting, whom the power of love, Ot music's charms, or elegance, could move : For more they joyed them in Ihenympln so fair, Than in ' he sacred rites, and solemn sounding prayer! The last scene is thus rendered : Now wintry w inds, with sable pinion!, sweep The trembling earth, nd howl along the deep : Rous'd from their bed.. the hoary waves arise. Swell their broad backs, and mount unto the skies. The'feeWe bark that ow nstheir dread command, With shatter'd keel is da-. h'd upon the strand : Tile tim'rous sailor quits his faithless reign ; But bold Leander fears no troubled main. Love, cruel love, forbids his further stay, A„' nd Hero's lamp rebukes his long delay. " tJ. nhaWy fair ! when sullen tempests beat, ' Whv'o'rgVtlr;, spouse their wildest rage to meet? '" Tislove commands, and love is all to thee; And blaze it must,' for so the fates decree ! Now bold- Leander mounts the rising waves, While, with fell wrath, tbe roaring night- wind raves. Dark lour the heavens, and gust to gust succeeds, The bounding billows rear their awful heads. Now blust'ring Boreas sw eeps the fields of air, With the keen South to wage destructive war. Now West and East the oiie encounter join, And loud the murmur of the tossing brine. The fainting lover prays for help in vain To Cyprian Venus, offspring of the main; To royal Neptune, and the god of Thrace, Who fore'd th' Athenian maid to his embrace. Fruitless are all his prayers ; no fav'ringgod Descends to save him from the. roaring flood : Wearv and slow he wanders through the gloom, A lid the cold waves his struggling feet benumb : His torpid arms no more the sea divide, And at his mouth fast flows the briny tide: Ko torch now shinesto light him to the shore — Leander sinks I— Leander is no more ! Through the lone night, in sadlv- pensive mood, On her high tower, the watchful Hero stood ; But when Aurora streak'd tbe Orient sky, She It. qk'd, her ling'ring love- to descry. Close to her tower the rolling surges bore His ghastly corse, and dash'd it on the shore! From the wild maid then burst a fearful scream Y She rent her robe, and ptung'd into the stream ! Thus, in their loves and tragic fates allied, The beauteous Hero and Leander died ! Notes are subjoined, which shew Mr. ADAM'S extensive acquaintance with the literature of Greece, as well as its Mythology ; but, page 49, he ap- pears to forget that his readers are not all so well acquainted with PISDAU as he, and leaves a verv fine passage from the £ 2d Olympic untranslated, and the consequence may naturally be, that the curi- osity of the Ladies may prove puzzling ' to Gentle men who have even been at College— we, there- fore, subjoin the Paraphrastic Translation of WEST, and recommend it to Mr. ADAM to remedy the de- fect in a second Edition It is necessary to ob- serve, that the passage refers to the Pythagorean doctrine of a transmigration of souls, and implies, that those who have thrice inhabited mortal bodies, and remained free from crime, shall be finally re moved to the Fortunate Islands— tbe mansions of the blessed. « But they who in true virtue strong, Tbe third purgation can endure, And keep their minds from fraudful wrong. And guilt's contagion pure. They through the starry paths of Jove To Saturn's blissful seat remove ; Where fragrant breeies. vernal airs Sweet children of the main, Purge the blest island from corroding cares, And fan the hosoni of each verdant plain : Whose fertile soil immortal" fruitage bears; Trees from whose flaming branches grow, Arrayed in golden bloom refulgent beams, And flowers of golden hue, that blow On the fresh borders of their parent streams. These by the blest in solemn triumph worn. Their unpolluted hands, and clustering locks adorn." To the translation several Poems are subjoined, of which we would prefer that entitled To PHILO- SOPHY. But we beg leave to point out as excep- tionable— tlie expression, " that the votaries of Philosophy, " When life's short unclouded day is o'er. They calmly sink to rest and are no more. 1* Philosophy teaches the immortality of the soul, and its indestructibility, inculcating the doctrine, that man only begins to live when he has " shuffled off this mortal coil." That the expression, however, has been inadvertently used, appears from the con- text, ami rts too general use may plead tlie imtlvor's apology. Domestic Articles, ifb. formerly omitted. On the night between Monday and Tuesday seVnnight, David Ro, s, Watchman, in going his rounds in George Street, and John Street, observed three men near the head of. Jopp* s Lane, in the act of preparing some Packa- ges for carriage ; upon being challenged, they pretended it was a smuggle, and begged him. to take cu notice of tficrn. tte not satisfied with this, lint kept his eve on them rill he saw the direction the- y took on moving— when, with full speed, he toak a course by tvhich he met tlietn directly in the open street, and challenged them again, when one of them dropped his parcel, and ran off. As soon as Boss, bv a slight examination of the parcel, found it to contain goods, he gave an alarm, and pursued the other two men so close, that they also dropped their parcels, and fled. The Patrolo, « ; wul several of. the other Watchmen heard the alarm, and ran to his assistance with all speed, by which means the goods were Secured, and carried to the Watch- bouse ; but the thieves escaped by some of the closes, and eluded all search. On enquiry, ' it. wasJVrund'that these goods had- heen' taUt- ft from a ! IKer's Warehouse, on the Loch- side, which the thieves ' had got access to by a small window in the back part'of j the premises-, which- looks into a garden: more articles j.-. wei i- fcmtf- trr ed' about the premises, and the whole i were restored to tire owner next morning— who, we are \ ljappy lo find now only misses a few trilling articles. I Another of the Watchmen, Andrew Berrie, in going t home, after being dismissed from dirty that morning, Linear the bridge, at foot of Denhurn, challenged a man 1 carrying a Web of Cloth under his arm, upon which tire '--• fellow- threw it at him, and ran off ; this proved to be part ! of the same property, and was also restored. The value thus secured, we understand, was to the amount of sixty I or seventy pounds ; and the Watchmen are highly to be commended for the resolution and diligence shewn by them in the recovery of the gocrds. The advantage of a well- regulated and active bird) of Watchmen, in a city like this, for the protection of property, is thus rendered obvious. We are informed that the Board of Police, as a stimu- lus to the whole body of Watchmen, have ordered Ross and Berrie to receive some gratuity, as'amark of their sense of the good conduct of tlrese men on the occasion.

A different manner of acting on the part of the foreign troops, will entitle the IIolv Father to con- sider them no longer as friends,- and to oppose, with all the means in his power, their passage through his states, and to have recourse to the protection of the High Powers. Guided by these principles, the Ijoly Father~ Iias al— ready caused strict orders to be given to the Civil and Military Authorities of his States, to the effect that the foreign regular troops, on entering and passing through the pontifical dominions, shall he regarded as friends, and not opposed in the passage, but that any of the evil- dispos- ed class who may dare to violate the pontifical territory shall be vigorously resisted ; and for this purpose his Holi- ness has also ordered the fortresses of his dominions lo be put in a state of defence* Ili. s Holiness our Lofd, in making known to his fa { th- ing with the greatest activity.

The latest accounts fron3 Nap!# s announce that no doubt was entertained- in that capital of" Constitution ; and demanded from his Majesty, the Minis- ters. the Public Officers, and the troops, a solemn oath to this Constitution, which, in a moment of terror and confusion, and without any preparatory step, had been made the fundamental law of the kingdom. The King, when he made the first promise, had done the utmost to tranquillize the inflamed minds of his sub- jects ; and though his Majesty perceived how absurd the demand was to complete a new Constitution in eight days, yet there were still hopes of proceeding with more deli- beration when the first . effervescence should be over. But the second demand ( the, acceptance of a foreign Constitu- tion) bore the stamp of its origin too clearly to leave any doubt of the veal situation of the States, and of the Mo- narch. Only violent threats, and actual force, could, obtain attention to such a proposal ; which compromised the welfare of the country and the dignity of the Sovereign ; and nothing but the wish to prevent great evil, and great crimes, could induce his Majesty to give a momentary assent to so- precipitate and- ruinous a measure. ( The Declaration then proceeds to state at very great length the ful subjects in the usual manner, and in order to give them perfect confidence, the object of the present military ex- pedition, his sentiments as expressed above, and the mea- sures adopted for securing tranquillity in his States has at . the. sau:£ time thought fit to manifest his sovereign will that they shall show towards the foreign troops ail those attentions which they owe to the troops of friendly Towers, and that no one shall take upon himself to injure them by word or deed. The fidelity and the attachment constantly and most strikingly manifested to his Holiness our Lord, by his people, afford to his Holiness the surest guarantee that they will in the present circumstances contribute, by the prudence of their conduct, to the maintenance of tiiat tranquillity which, with so much satisfaction to his pater- nal heart, and so much honour to the people of his States, has hitherto been preserved under the sacred eg- isofthe laws and the vigilance of the Government. But if any turbulent spirit shall wickedly dare, during the present circumstances, to seek opportunities for ploting mischief, or expect to be able, even for. a short while, to disturb the public tranquillity, be it known to them that the most cir- cumspect vigilance will watch their proceedings, and that their crimes will be punished by all the rigour of the laws.

The Judges were much pleased with the workmanship of all the Competitors ; and expressed their conviction, that these competitions had very materially improved ploughing in all its branches. Afterwards, the Stewards, Members, and a large party, dined at Mr. Mitchell's, the New Inn, and passed the Evening in the utmost conviviality. DISTRICT OF TURHIFF. In this district, there has been no Ploughing Match ; but the best average ploughing was ascertained by an in- spection of the farms entered for competition, and the order of merit fixed as follows : The first best ploughed farm, Mains of Laithers, Mr. Webster, by 5 ploughs. The second best, Netherthird, Mr. Keith, by four ploughs. The third ho> t. Barnyards of Delgaty, Mr. Thrift Scott, by 4 ploughs. And. Thefou'th best Cobairdy, Mr. Allardes, by 4 ploughs. The Judges, in their report to the Convener of the dis- trict. expressed themselves highly pleased with the gene- ral ploughing over the whole district, and staled that this important branch of Agriculture had reached the greatest perfection. • It is not generally known, we believe, that, in pursu- ance of an Act passed last Session of Parliament, a census of the population of Great Britain is to be taken this year, of v hich the returns are to be delivered to the Clerks ofthe Peace and Town Clerks by the 28th of July. Lord FH'E, in passing through Inyerury, on the 13th I ult. with his wonted liberality gave i01. sterling to the i Poor. He also gave sums to a much larger amount to \ individuals. Royal power, then filling all the principal p! a es their creatures, and their attempts to give their usurped authority an appearance of legality by a National Par- liament, which was an instrument to overthrow at pleasure ali existing rights and ordinances.) The King, sensible that opposition to .- e unnatural a state of things, which could not last, would only endanger his person, hi-, family, and his - country, bore the whole in silence. All well- disposed persons, a'& ids the Declaration, even those who fir-. t hoped some good from the Revolution, are now con- vinced of their error, and the people are uneasy. This is the cause of theapparent tranquillity which prevails. These events made a great sensation in all Italy, and gave just alarm to all tbe neighbouring Sovereigns, who could not dissemble, that the internal peace and welfare of their States were endangered by such an example.. Ilis Majesty the Emperor was soon convinced that'the peace and tranquillity of Italy would be destroyed for a longtime, if the authors of a: i inexcusable rebel Hon were allowed to sacrifice the Sicilian Monarchy to their absurd presumption ; and however painful it must be to his Ma- jesty to interrupt the progress of the measures which he was pursuing for the welfare of his subjects, and lay a new burden on his finances, he could not but sacrifice every thing to the performance of his most sacred duties. . The assembly of an army in Upper Italy was absolutely neces- sary, and is acknowledged to be so by all -' tends of order in Europe. Its beneficent effects in Italy, and even in Naples itself, are recognised in all Italy.- His Majesty went to T. roppau to discuss with his Allies, affairs not interesting- to Austria alone, but to all Europe. Though particular relations and motives hindered the \ British Government from partaking in the harsher resolu- tions of - the other Courts, and admitted the accession of the French Court only under certain Conditions, his Ma- jesty had the great satisfaction of finding himself perfectly agreed with the Monarths of Russia and Prussia on the question in, debate, and convinced that the difference of position and proceeding could not affect, the harmony of the European Courts in the uniformity of their wishes a. ud exertions.

I perceived that our coun- try was threatened with new misfortunes, and wns con- vinced therefore that no consideration ought, to prevent an PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE. PARIS, Feb. 23.— Things are going on in such'r* manner here, that a convulsion appears inevitable. The affairs of Spain have greatly contributed to indispo • the minds ofthe people against the Government. It is report- ed that our Ambassador has been obliged to^] uit M- idrid. M. de Cabreswas mtfch bruised in the last riot, and seve- ral of the Garde de Corps killed. Our debates are much more animated than they have been. The discussion^ about" the Law of Annuities are very curious. J'he fact is, that the Government is not in want of monev for the the exigencies of the country ; but their real object is, to procure a large sum- for the purpose of secretly assisting Austria against Naples, and also to have the means of fomenting discontents in Spain. A French A^ ent, dis- guised as a Priest,- and charged with dispatches, has b/ en very lately arrested in Spain. It lias also been remarked* that the date of the Plot in Madrid and the Proclamation ofthe Austrian General are the same. the legality ofthe proceedings at Naples, they wished to" attain thei- r object in an amicable manner, and invited the King of Naples to Laybach. . The King was obliged, by the new Constitution, to ask leave of the Parliament to quit his kingdom; this leave was granted ; but on con- dition that the Spanish Constitution should be maintained, a condition which those who imposed it knew must baffle all hopes of arrangement. The King with thiscon iiuon had no resource but in the justice and wisdom of his au- gust friends.' When the King came to Laybach, he soon found . that it would be in vain to ground a proposal on a condition absolutely rejected by the Sovereigns, who frankly declared that they would not suffer the continuance of the present order of things at Naples, and that if it were not amicably dissolved, arms must l> e employed ; and that they left it wholly to the King, to give his people a just and wise Con- stitution. His Majesty wrote, inconsequence, a paternal letter to his eldest sou, enforcing his duty to do his utmost INVERNESS. March I. " ' Hie new dynasty of Elgin Magistrates have, we un- derstand, printed and circulated to all concerned, a mi- nute account ofthe Revenue and Expenditure of the Burgh, for the last year. This is a fair prognostic of the o- ood intentions of tbe present rulers, and one that is Well worthy the imitation ofthe Magistrates of other towns.— The Magistrates of Inverness last year set this example ; and when so simple a process can prevent all ostensible cause for clamour on this point, it is surely worth while to make the attempt. " Messrs Garrow, Maclaren, & c. Officers of Excise secured three horses, early on last Monday morning, loaded with nearly six anchors of smuggled whisky on the north sidecf the Kesst/ ck Ferry, on their way to this town. uSingnlar Discovery.— The following discovery, though of a homely nature, is interesting to people of science, and curious from the light it throws upon the state of soeicty in remote times.— Some labourers digging in a moss lately, on the Earl of Moray's estate of Brae Moray, dis- covered a quantity of melted tallow r. eatly packed up'iu the hide of probably the very animal from which the tallow had been taken. The hide in which the tallow was secur- ed. was shaped somewhat like a knapsack, and sewed to- gether with thongs'of skin. The tallow was found three feet below the surface in high preservation, and is now in the custody of Mr. Skirving, the Earl of Moray's factor, at Darnaway Cattle. How many centuries may haveelapsed since the raid took place in the Braes of Moray of which this spoil still remains ? In this manner were foragers wont to secure this part of thnir booty." FT A RS OF INVERNESS- SHI RE, CROP 1820. Struck an the L25d ult. to save the country. This letter was accompanied by in- structions from the Cabinets of- Austria, Russia, and Prussia, to the Ministers at Naples, and from the French Plenipotentiary to the Ministers of his Court . at Naples. The result of this important step will decide the fate of the kingdom, of the Two Sicilies. The Declaration then adds, that orders are given for'- the army 10 cross the Po-; ' that there is- every reason to hope that no resistance will be made, the people being devoted in genera!, to the King, and dissatisfied with the present state of affairs ; that if. unhappily,' such resistance act imposing on trie the most sacred of duties. After my first interview with the Sovereigns, and subsequently re- ceiving the communications which were made to me rela- tive to the deliberations that had taken place on the part of the Congress assembled at Troppau, I no longer entertain- ed any doubt of the judgment formed by the Allied Powers of ihe events that have occurred at Naples from the 1st. \ July to the present day. " I found them irrevocably determined not to recognise the situation of affairs that lias resulted, or that can, by possibility, result from those events; they regard our present system as incompatible both with the tranquillity of my kingdom and the security of the neighbouring states, and resolve to attack us immediately by force of arms, if the force of persuasion does not immediately produce an immediate cessation from that course of action. " This is the declaration which the Sovereigns, as well as the respective Plenipotentaries, have ma. le tome, and from which nothing can induce them to depart. It is'be- yond my power, and, X believe, all human possibility, to obtain a different result. There remains then no uncer- tainty as to the alternative in which we are placed, - nor-\> f the only means which remain fo save my kingdom from the scourge of war. 44 Should the conditions on which the Sovereigns in- vist be accepted, the measures to which they will give rise will be conducted solely through my intervention. I f ought to inform you, however, that the Monarch* exact certain guarantees, which they consider indispensably ne- cessary to the security of tlie neighbouring states. " In regard to the new system which is to succeed the present situation of affairs, the Sovereigns have comtnuni- cajed the general point of view under which they regard that question. They consider the measures that are to be adopted, to give the stability to my Governmexit which i* necessary, a subject of tile highest importance to the se- curity and tranquillity of the States bordering on my king- dom, and, consequently, to the whole of - Eyrope ;, but, without assuming the power to restrain my free choice in the selection of those measures, they desire that, sur- rounded by the wisest and most honourable men among my subjects, I may consult the true and permanent inte- rests of my people, without losing sight of those involved in the maintenance of the gen- eial peace, and that there. may result from my- cares and tfiy exertions^- " system of J government calculated to'guarantee- for'.- ever the repose^ and prosperity of my kingdom, ' and, at, the same time.' to give security to the rest of Italy, taking into considera- FROM GERMAN PATERS.

[ From the Franlfort German Gazette of Feb. 1!>. J VIENNA, Feb. 13.— After many political storms, the Kingdom of Naples was, in the year 1815, restored by the immediate assistance of the Imperial arms to the paternal government of its legitimate King ; the two halves ofthe Sicilian Monarchy, which bad been so long separated, were re- united, and the wishes of all well- dis- posed persons were gratified by the happy prospect of durable repose. The latter period of the foreign Govern- ment bad however revived an internal enemy who had been long dangerous to the rqiose of the Italian peninsula. There had existed formally years in the kingdom of Naples, as well as in other parts of Italy, a sect working in the dark, whose secret Chief's considered the total overthrow of all the Italian Governments as the first step towards the execution of these extravagant plans. At the moment when Murat thought to support bis failing Throne by the desperate attempt to conquer Italy, despair inspired him with the itlea cf calling to his aid those same Carbonari, whom he had more than once combated, and by this un- expected alliance he gave to thoir criminal cabals an in- should fie made- as to firi- rg on a formal . war, the Emperor of Russia, convinced of the necessity of putting down so great an evil, will join his forces to those of Austria. The Allied Sovereigns' ( the Declaration observes in con- clusion) have no ohjteet but their duty to their own States, and the tranquillity ofthe world ; this is the whole secret of their policy, and - they will bless, the moment when, undisturbed by foreign concerns, they may devote their cares to the welfare of their subjects.

His Lordship observed that the independent Legislature of Ireland had adopted all the provisions of that net, excepting two, I. That two lawful witnesses should he necessary to convict an accused person. 2. That tio prosecution should be instituted after the lapse of three- years. His Lordshi i adverted shortly to the history of the act of Edward VI. and noticed the doubt existing till the year'lG95. whether two lawful witnesses" were by com- mon law necessary. Lord Coke h id held the contrary, and in this opinion he was ovcrp. uvered by the practices of the Irish Courts. In his'( L rd Holland's) view, how- ever. it was lit that the laws of both countries, in this res- pect, should be assimilated. He therefore' moved the first reading of this bill, and said that he should propose the second reading on- Friday. or Monday next. The Earl of LI M E RICK expressed his perfect appro- bation of the object of the bill. Nothing could more tend to produce lasting harmony between the two countries ibau a similarity of laws. Thursday, March. 1. The Annual Indemnity Bill passed through a Commit- tee and was reported without Amendment The Marquis of LA NSDOWN presented two Peti- tions from Owners and Occupiers of Land in the Cutinlv of Somerset, complainingof agricultural distress and of the insufficiency of the measures hitherto adopted by Parlia- ment for their relief. His Lordship observed, that the Petitioners were numerous and respectable, and their com- plaints were entitled to the indulgent attention of Parlia- ment. He could not, however, concur with them to the extent of believing that any material relief could he afford- ed tothe'm by altering the Corn Laws ' The Petition was ordered to lie upon the Table. Friday, March 2. The Bishop of LONDON laid upon the table a peti- tion against the Catholic claims, from the. Archdeaconry of C< h- bester. I, ord DONOUGHMORE laid upon the table peti- tions from St. Andrew's. St. Mark's, St. Anne's, and Dublin, in favour of the claims. His Lordship observed, that what had occurred in the Commons rendered it un- necessary for him to persevere st present in the notice he had I'iven on this subject for Thursday next. Lord C ALTIIORPE, after a few remarks on the warehousing system, presented two petitions from Suffolk, complaining of agricultural distress. The Earl of LIVERPOOL denied that any abuse or evasion in th> warehousing system had been proved be- fore the Committee of the Commons. The Earl of Limerick, the Earl of Darnley, Lord Ertkine, and Lord Donoughmore, made some remarks on the po sibiliiy or impossibility of applying a remedy to the existing agricultural distresses after which the pe- titions were laid upon the table. KILM AI NTH A M OUTRAGE. The Duke of LEINSTEIt presented a petition from the freeholders of the county of Dublin, complaining of the ou'rage committed by the Sherift'on the freeholders, at a meeting at Kilmainliam. ' The Noble Duke gave notice that lie would call attention to it on a future day. The Earl of BLESSING TON maintained, that the people of Ireland had been insulted by the Sheriff; they had sustained a public wrong, which o ght to be publicly redressed by Parliament. It was idle to say that the courts of law were open to any complaints of grievances. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE, in an eloquent speech, made his promised motion upon the subject of the war now waged hv Austria against the independence of Naples. The purport of the motion being to pledge the British Government to defend Naples against the cruel aggression of her enemies it was opposed by Earl Ba- thurst, who contended, that an> mediation, unsupported bv arms, must be unavailing. Neutrality, he maintain- ed. was. under the circumstances, the proper policy for this country, Ministers had professed that neutrality in the utmost sincerity ; aud he was happy to say, that this profession had been so accepted and understood by the new Government of Naples, who bad expressed their per- fect confidence in the good faith and neutrality of Great Riitain. Several other Noble Lords delivered their opinions upon the question, after which the House di- vided, when there appeared— For the motion, 57 ; against it, 84 — Majority. 47. lk HOUSE OF COMMONS. Monday, Feb 26. Petitions were presented from Greenock, Aberdeen, ami some other places, against any alteration in the timber duties. AGRICULTURE. Petitions were presented from various places complain- ing of agricultural distress. Mr. IT. SUMNEIi, on behalf of Mr. Gooch, post- poned till the 6th March the motion for a Committee on the state of agriculture SCOTCH ADMIRALTY COURT. On the order of the day for receiving the report of the Committee on the Scotch Courts compensation bill being real. Mr. CREEVEY opposed the resolution being read.— It prised what he believed was never proposed before ; it was a contingent prospective resolution to give compen- sation to certain clerks of the Court of Admiralty in Scot- land for any loss which they might sustain. He under- stood this resolution was founded on the report of a former committee of the House, from which it appeared that the first clerk received £ l'l\ 0 a- year for doing nothing, and that he had a cterk under him receiving ^ 400 for helping him. Now the report of that committee recommended that when a new chief clerk was appointed, a condition should be added that he should do all the duty, and that he should have ^ 600 a- year, and no clerk- depute. Cer- tain funds were pointed out from which the =£ 600 might te paid. What this resolution was intended to do he knew not. If- seemed that Scotland was in great alarm that a good sinecure might be lost, and that a resolution was brought in prospectively to prevent it. He conclud- ed by moving as an amendment, that the resolution be read this day six months. The LORD ADVOCATE observed that a bill had been proposed about ten years, and enacted for the pur- pose of regulating the fees of other Courts of Scot'and.— The decision of those Courts, when they had been lequir- ed to be drawn up in writing, had been so volumnious that not unfrequently the judgment was =£ 200. ^ The Act of Parliament had amended that practice, but it had not deprived the writers of the means of subsistence, for a compensation had been allowed on the abolition of the fees. It was upon the same principle, and according to this precedent, that the present compensation was propos-- ed ; for, as the practice still prevailed of taking out what vav called an extract in the Admiralty Court, it. was deem- ed material, specially in consequence of the recommen- dation of the Commissioners of Inquiry, to assimilate the practice of this . Court to that of the other Courts in Scot- land. This, assimilation would reduce the fees in that Court to a very- inconsiderable sum. and by that reduc- tion, the Clerk of the Court who held a patent office under the Crown, would, through the reforms recommended by the Commissioners, sustain. a diminution in his receipts to the amount of six or seven hundred pounds. Upon what principle of equity, then, he would ask the House, could this gentleman have so much perquisite taken from him • without compensation,, especially as this privation of fees was to take place, not in consequence of any fault of his own. but in order to establish an arrangement for the pub- lic good. If. when the' bill came before the Committee, the House should think ,- that the system of extracts had better be continued, the clerk would be entitled to no compensation, or if they- should choose to continue the exisfcmg. pracrjce during the life of the present clerk, there could b. e no claim for compensation. But in any other- case, common justice, required some allowance by way of compensation* l\ Ir. J. P. GRANT said, that his Hon. Friend would perhaps wave his objection, on the consideration that the resolution was merely a necessary matter of form, which must precede the introduction of the Bill. In the Com- mittee on the Bill- when the money resolution should be proposed, it - would require limitation and definition. Two words would, make. the rssolution less general and objec- tionable. limiting - the; compensation to such losses as might take place in consequence of regulations adopted by Parliament. / • ..• • Mr. C REEVEY would not. press the House- to a di- vision, as he found there would be an opportunity for in- troducing modifications to the Committee. Mr. HUME stated, that the salaries and fees of the Judges and their Officers in Scotland, amounted to. iiq less than ^ TtfO. OOO a- year, which lie submitted must be , regarded as a most exorbitant sum for so poor a country as Scotland. j Lord A. HAMILTON conceived, that Officers em- . ployed in the Administration of Justice were not entitled ; to what were called perquisites, and that, therefore, they were not emitledto compensation for the toss of such per- quisites. The Resolution was read a second tune, Mr. CREEVEY asked, whether the Learned Lord, when he brought in his promised Bill upon this subject, would have any objection to favour the House with a Bill of fare of the Officers whom he proposed to compensate ? i The LORD ADVOCATE replieSrtiiat he should detail particulars. The Amendment proposed by Mr. J. P. GRANT was adopted, and the Resolution as amended was agreed to. ROYAL BURGHS OF SCOTLAND. Lord A. HAMILTON moved for a return of the number of the Scots Royal Burghs which had lost the power of electing to the Council since the year 1685. the particular time when each Burgh lost. thf » t power, when restored, and under what conditions. Ordered. CORN AVERAGES. On the motion of Mr. F. Robinson, the House went int^ oa Committee on the Corn Averages Act. Mr. ROB I N'SON then stated, that his object being to amend the laws on this subject., which were involved in much intricacy and confusion, he should not advert to the general question. There w_' re four acts, containing many clauses, which rendered it very difficult to ascertain what was in fact the law, and his first object would be to repeal those acts, and to embody their regulations in one Bill, of one third the extent thereof. He should also suggest several omissions, and some alterations, founded upon the report of the Committee of last year. At present the averages were taken from the maritime districts, but instead of extending it to all districts, he intended to abolish the system of districts, he intended to abolish the system of districts altogether, and to rely upon counties. As the averages were at present struck, an individual, by a small sacrifice, might produce a fictitious return, which would materially affect the general average. lie propos- ed likewise, that the amounts, as well as the quantities of grain, should be added together, and thus the average price obtained. At present, the three counties of Essex, Kent, and Middlesex, were omitted and he should suggest that they be included, while the inland counties and Scot- land ought to be exempted, on the ground that the re- turns were calculated to mislead.—( Hear.) — He should also relieve the counties from the burden of Inspector's salaries, and give power to Magistrates and Mayors of towns to grant allowances of not more than £ 50 a- year. The minor changes of the law would be best seen in the Bill which would incorporate the inspection of corn averages with the Board of Trade. Another object would be to include the Isle of Man. Under the existing law, great mischief might have been done to the system of averages, through the omission of the Isle of Man. as foreign corn imported into that Island might be easily smuggled into England to influence those averages. It was also intended, in the new Bill, to correct an error which existed at present with respect to what was called British corn ; for. in consequeuee of this denomination in the existing law, Irish corn was excluded from the averages, although the Irish corn imported into England was actually the best the country produced. But the error which be alluded to was the result oi'a mere technical Custom- house interpretation, which inferred that British corn alone was meant. The Right Hon. Gentleman concluded with moving a resolution, " That it is expe- dient to repeal the existing Acts for regulating the Averages on Corn, and to enact another law in lieu thereof." Mr. CALCRAFT viewed any change in the corn laws with great jealousy, but would wait till he saw the Bill. Mr. B A 111 NG- lamented that, this period was chosen for a change, which would lead to the expectation, that something was to be done to relieve, when no such inten- tion existed. He should object, if the effect were to raise the importation price of grain. Mr. IRVING also thought the proceeding ill- timed, as it held out hopes that could not be realised. Mr. H. SUMNER was disposed to be contented with this measure, though inefficient, as it would give a greater protection against fraud. Mr. CUIIWEN said that the Bill was most necessary, and that if it had passed earlier, a million would have been saved to the country. lie trusted that it would be followed by some ulterior measure, and that Ministers - would speak out. and let the country know what they meant to do for the relief of the agricultural interest. Mr. W. DOUGLAS also hoped that this would not be the last measure on this'subject. Mr. RICARDO said, the only possible remedy for this evil, was to have the price of onr corn as nearly as possible, approaching to that of the Continent. The pre- sent mode of striking the averages tended to increase the price of corn. The best immediate remedy for the evils complained of, would be to repeal the Corn Laws alto- gether, and he was sure that sooner or later a measure of that sort would be adopted. After a few words from Mr. Lockhart, Mr. Bennet, and Mr. Ctirwen, the House resumed, and the Report was ordered to be brought up to- morrow. T R A N S P 011T A TI ON BILL. Mr. BENNET said, the Government ought to turn its attention to this subject, which had ceased to be a punishment. It separated father from son, and husband from wife. He had his bureau covered with letters, ask- ing from him the boon of transportation. He complain- ed that the method of transportation was to send out a greater proportion of men than women. Mr. CLIVE said, the greater proportion of offenders were males. The Hon. Member would see that the j ails of the kingdom were capable of containing only 16.000 persons, whilst perhaps there were in'the three kingdoms upwards of 12,000 or 15,000 convicts. Besides it was questionable, whether it was good policy to keep men . working in prisons, to the prejudice of other men who never committed a crime. After some words from Mr. Bennet in explanation, and from Mr. G. oulburn, the Bill was read a second time. Tuesday, Feb. 27- On the motion of Mr. HUNTER BLATR, an ac- count was ordered of all grain imported into Great Britain . and Ireland from foreign countries, from 1791 to 1821. Mr. G. BENNETT moved for an account of tne num- ber of troops forming the army of Great Britain and Ire- ! land. Also an account of the Expenditure of New South Wales.— Ordered. Mr. BA RING moved'for a return of all persons con- victed of uttering forged notes since. 1798. Also for an account of persons convicted of counterfeiting sij. ver coin during the same period ; and lastly, for an account of all silver coin is mad since 1720, and the amount now in the hands of the Bank of England. Mr. GRENFELL deprecated the agitation of this sub- ject at the present, moment. Mr. BARING added, that he understood that a mo- tion relative to it would soon be submitted to the House. : Mr. CUR WEN was anxious to know what farther steps were now taking to produce a bank note such . as could not be easily forged. Mr. IRVING said, that he had reason to know that the Directors of the . Bank of England were using their utmost endeavours to produce such a note. Mr. CALC11A FX said, that the public ought not to suffer because the Directors could not make up their minds on a new note. The evil would be remedied by calling in the smaller notes, and paying in cash. Mr. GRENFELL understood that the Chancellor of the Exchequer had some plan in view as to the resump- tion of cash payments.—- Accounts- ordered. Mr. IIUME asked what was intended to be done as to the bounty on English and Irish Linens ? Mr. ROBINSON said the Act did not expire till 1822. Mr. MA BE RLY Undertook to give a notice on the subject. Mr. HUME moved for certain accounts relative to the expenees of the Colonies of the Cape of Good. Hope, " the Mauritius, See. which were ordered.— Adjourned. Wednesday, Feb. 28. The House was occupied all the early, part of this even- ing, in receiving petitions for and against the Catholic claims. THE ENGLISH CATHOLICS. Lord NUGENT said, he had now to present a peti- tion, signed by seven Peers.. 14 Baronets, seven Bishops, and about 8000 individuals, Roman Catho'ics of Eng- land. praying to be relieved from the disabilities under which they at present laboured. The Noble Lord enter- ed into a detail of the disabilities under which the Eng- lish Catholics laboured. The oath of supremacy, he said, was the chief obstacle at present existing to their obtaining their wishes. The petitioners declared individual allegi- ance to the King, and denied the power of any foreign potentate in these realms in any matter, either civil, mili- tary, or ecclesiastical. They reduced the question to a very narrow compass:— They asked only the repeal of the spiritual test, but no relaxation of the political test. Make it stronger, if possible, and the Catholics of Eng- land were most anxious to lake that stronger political test* The monstrous assertion that Catholics considered the Pope capable of absolving them from oaths taken to Pro- testants was done away. The Noble Lord then proceed- ed to quote authorities in favour of the Catholics. The petition was read. IRISH CATHOLICS. Mr. PLUNKET rose and in a speech, which, for brilliancy of eloquence, has never been exceeded within the walls of Parliament, introduced the following motion upon the subject of the Catholic Claims, viz.—" That this House do resolve itself into a Committee of the whole House, to consider the state of the Laws by which Oaths or Declarations are required to be tnken or made as qua- lifications for the enjoyment of Office-, or for the. exercise of Civil Functions, so far as the same affect iris Majesty's Roman Catholic subjects ; and whether it would be expe- dient, in any, and what manner, to alter or modify the same, and subject to what provisions or regulations." The motion was seconded by Mr. D. Brown, and sup- ported by Sir James Mackintosh, Lord Bury, Mr. Luke White, and by Mr. Grant, the Secretary for Ireland, whose speech made a powerful impression on the House. It was opposed by Mr. Dawson, Sir G. Hill, & c. The Hou'- c divided— For the motion, ... ... 227 Against it, ... ... ... 221 Majority, ... ... 6 The declaration of the numbers was received by loud cheering. Mr. PLUNKET moved that, on Friday next, the House should resolve itself into a Committee, which was agreed to. Thursday, March 1. Several Petitions were presented complaining of agri- cultural distress. The corn average amendment bill was brought in ; read a first time, and ordered to be read a stcond time to- morrow se'en night. Mr. CUR WEN asked if there was any clause in the bill to prevent, fraudulent sales. Mr. ROBINSON said there was such a clause in the bill. Lord STANLEY presented a petition from the Cham- • ber of Commerce at Manchester, praying a repeal of the ! restrictive duties on commerce between this country and Ireland, as c< n inued by the act oflast session. The Nob'e Lord, in presenting the petition, condemned the restrictions on trade between the two countries as most injurious to trade in general. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said his Majesty's G< vernment would give the subject the most serious conideration. After a few words from Sir II. Parnell, the petition was received. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, t' at in a few days he should submit a motion to the House for bringing forward a bill to enable the Banks of England and Ireland to commence cash payments at an earlier period than they could under existing circum- stances. Sir H. PA RNELL said the notice given bv the Right Hon. Gentleman superseded the necessity of his bringing forward the motion, of which he had given notice for to- night. Friday, March 2. Petitions, complaining of agricultural distress, were presented from occupiers of land in Essex Cambridge- shire, See. CATHOLIC EM A NCI PA T. IO N. Mr. PLUNK ETT, adverting to what had passed on this subject on Wednesday, observed, he did not con- sider any gentleman as pledged by the vote he gave that night. He should now propose his Resolutions to the Committee, and would propose that the bill should be brought in on Tuesday, printed, and the second reading be fitted for Monday se'ennight. The Right Hon. Gen- tleman then proceeded to read his Resolutions : " 1. That i: appears to this Committee, that bv cert tin acts passed in the Parliament of Great Britain and Ire- land respectively, certain declarations and affirmations are required t- 1 be made, as fji^ vlifixations for the enjoy- ment of certain offices, franchises, and civil rights, therein mentioned. " 2. That such parts of said oaths as require a declara- tion to be made Against the belief of transubstantiation, or that the invocation. or adoration of the Virgin Mary, or any other saint., and the sacrifice of the mass as used in the Church of Rome, are superstitious and idolatrous, ap- pear ro this Committee to relate to opinions merely spe- culative and dogmatical, not affecting the allegiance or civil duty of the subject; and that the same may there- fore be safely repealed 3. That, it appears to this. Committee, that in several acts passed in the Parliaments of Gre^ t Britain and Ire- land respectively, a certain Oath, commonly called the oath of Supremacy, is required to be taken, as a qualifica- tion for the enjoyment of certain offices, franchises, and civil rights therein mentioned. " 4 That in the said oath and declaration is contained, that no foreign Prince, Person, Prelate, State, or Po- tentate. ought to have any jurisdiction, power, superiority, pre- eminence, or authority, ecclesiastical or spiritual, within these realms. " 5. That it appears to this Committee that scruples are entertained by his Majesty's Roman Cat1 olic subjects with regard to taking the said oath, merely on account of the word " spiritual" being inserted therein : and that for the purpose of removing such scruples, it would be expedient to sdeclare the sense in which the said word is used according to the injunction issued by Queen Eliza- beth in the first year of her reign, and recognized bv the act of the fifth year of her reign, and which, as explained by the 37th of the articles of the Church of England, im- ports merely that the Kings of this realm should govern all estates and degrees committed to their charge by God, whether they bo ecclesiastical or temporal, and restrain with the civil sword the stubborn and evil doer. " 6. That it. is the opinion of this Committee that such act of repeal and explanation should be accompanied with such exceptions and regulations as may be found necessary for preserving unalterably the Protestant, succession to the Crown, according to the Act for the farther limitation of the Crown, and better securing the jights and liberties of the subject, and for maintaining inviolate the Protestant Episcopal Church of England and Ireland, and the doc- trine, government, and discipline thereof; and the Church of Scotland, and the doctrine, worship, govern- ment, and discipline thereof, as the same are by law re- spectively established." Sir G. HILL declared his decided opposition to the Bill. He thought on so important a question as this, there ought to be a call of the House; and if no other Member moved it he would. Lord CASTLEREAGII suggested this day fortnight for the second reading. Mr. PLUNKETT said, he was ready to accede to this proposition. After some conversation, the following Committee was named— Mr. Piurikett. Dr. Phillimore. Lord Castlerea^ h. Mr. C. Wynne. Mr. Charles Grant. Mr. Wilder force. Sir J. Newport. Lord Palmerston. Mr. Tierney. Sir J. Mackintosh. Sir Henry Parnell. Sir G. HILL then moved, " That the House be called over on this day'fortnight," ( Friday the 16th inst.) which was carried without a division. The House went into a Committee on'the Grampound Disfranchisement Bi>!. After much desultory conversa- tion, an amendment of Lord Milton's, for making Leeds a. scot and lot Borough, was negatived, on a division, by 181 to 66. The amendment of Mr. S « Wortley, limiting the- right of voting to the occupants of the. value of L. 20, instead of L. 10, was carried by a majority, of 148 to 94, This,, it is calculated, would afford a body of nearly 2000 voters. The duration of the election was limited to five days. PUBLIC EXPENDITURE. Mr. HUME, after a variety of remarks upon the na- ture- and amount of the public expenditure, and upon the navy, army, ordnance,, and contingent estimates on the table, moved for a return of the particulars an:! items of the several pensions and compensations granted to Clerks and Officers in the Navy Department, amounting to 105.9001.. Sir C. LONG did not oppose the motion, but com- bated some of the assertions of Mr. Hume. He stated that tlie heads of none of the departments of Government, were unwilling, that the minutest inquiries should be instituted into the expenditure of their offices* The nio- tion was agreed to. Mr. HUME proceeded to move for a great number of other accounts, connected with the Army, Ordnance, and Navy ; which were granted. From the LONDON GAZETTE, Feb. 27.

The Committee of Ladies belonging to the Institution, accompanied by t'le Committee of the Corporation, at the head of whom were, the Lord Mayor, Sheriff's Waithinan aud Williams, Mr. Favell and Mr. Hurcnmbe. were in waiting to receive her Majesty, who was dressed in a su- perb silk dr^- ss, hail on a white silk bat, surmounted by a lich plume of white feathers. The Committees preceding, her Majesty took the arm of the I ord Mayor, and entered the room, accompanied bv his Grace the Duke of Lein- ster. Lord and Lady Hood, Major- General Ferguson, and several other distinguished characters, with their ladies. Nothing could exceed the enthusiasm with which her Majesty was received by the company. There were upwards of 2000 persons present; amongst whom were several Members ot Parliament. We understand from good authority, that her Majesty has signified her intention to accept the X' 5 -. 000 per an- num. which has been gianted her. The same authority confirms the report of ber having purchased the Duke of Cambridge's house, South Audiey Street. DEATH OF MR. SCOTT.— It is with feeling of pain that we have to announce the death of Mr. Scott, who was lately wounded by Mr. Christie, in a duel at Chalk Farm. The unfortunate gentleman, ever since the fatal occurrence took place, has been at Chalk Farm, in apartments where every medical and other attendance, which his situation called for, were supplied with the. most unceasing humanity. He seemed perfectly . sensible of bis awful condition all along. On Sunday night the symptoms of health were very fluttering, and great hopes were entertained for his recovery : but unfortunately on Monday night, there was a sudden change for the worse. He continued in a languid state during the whole of yester- day, and was surrounded by his dearest connexions, among whom was his disconsolate wife, who was overwhelmed with grief. Mr. Coinaglii and his two sons were also present, expecting every moment tobe his last. At half- past nine the la t night the unfortunate gentleman ex- pired. with apparent ease, aud without a groan. His afflicted wife was conveyed home by Dr. Baring. Mr. Sco t was between 30 and 40 years of age. and has lefi a . wife and two children to deplore his premature loss. Mr. Christie, the opponent of Mr. Scott, frequently made inquiry after bis health, at d seemed impressed with the deepest regret at the unh ippy affair. The body still lies at Chalk Farm, and Mr. Colilaghi's two sons remain along with it. IXQUEST AND VEItDICT. Thursday evening, at seven o'clock, an Inquest was held at Chalk Farm House, before T. Stirling, Esq Coro- ner for Middlesex, on the body of John Scott.. Esq. aged 40, who was mortally wounded in the late duel near that Farm. The first witness examined was the carpenter who pro- vided the shutter oil which the deceased was carried from the field to the Chalk Farm House after he was wounded. He knew nothing of the persons concerned in the duel. Ail thai he could say was, that when lie went to the field he saw four or five gentlemen standing near the body oi the deceased who on being placed on the shutter, shook bands with the gentleman who had shot him. and wished him goad night. The circumstances of this lamentable case are already before thepublic. The ostler belonging to Chalk Farm Tavern saw most of what took place. Two gentlemen called at the T avern on the night of the duel, a short time before it took place and called for a bottle of wine and two glasses of negus, of which they drank and paid for, leaving the two last partly unfinished, observing- that they would return in a few oments. These two the ostler suspects to have been Mr. Christie and his friend. Sus- pecting that all was not right, he followed them down as far as the hundred yard stone, and perceiving then that they took a direction to lead them off the Farm, he went no farther. On his return he encountered two other gentlemen, who inquired if he had seen any persons going through the fields, and he pointed out'to them the way they went. On his return he he^ rd the report of a pistol, which confirmed his suspicions; hut before be could well determine what to do, a second shot was likewise fired. One of the gentlemen returned for assistance, saying his friend had met with an accident. They to, ok a shutter, and found the deceased lying on his back, covered with a coat and a military cloak. The parties were 40 yards dis- tant from him, conversing together. On arriving at the farmhouse, Mr. Scott displayed symptoms of tlie most acute agony. The feelings of Mr. Christie werd not less acutely painful ; lie repeatedly expressed a wish that he was in that situation instead of Mr. Scott. The landlord of the Tavern gave similar testimony to that of the carpenter and the ostler. Dr. G. Darling's testimony was important. He attended the deceased frequently, and attributes his death to the wound'which he receivad. Witness referred to a memo- raiidtrra which he made of what Mr. Scott said to him. Mr. Scott, referring to his wound on Saturday morning, between nine and ten o'clock, said," Thisought not to have taken place ; I suspect some great ' mismanage- ment— there was no occasion for a second fire." After a short pause, he proceeded—" All I required from Mr. Christie was a declaration tha't he meant, no reflection 011 my character. This he refused, and the meeting became inevitable. On the field. Mr. Christie behaved well • and when all was ready for the first fire, he called out—' ScOtt, you must stand there ; I see your head above the horizon • you give me an advantage.' I believe . he could hit me then if he liked. After the pistols were re- loaded, and every thing was ready for a second fire." Mr. Trail called out—' Now, Mr. Christie, take' your ' aim, and do not throw away your advantage, as you* did last time/ I called out immediately, ' What ! did not Mr. Christie fire at me ? I was answered by Mr. Pat more—- You '- must not speak ; ' tis now of 110 use to talk ; you have nothing now for it but firing.' The signal was 1' 1, mediately gffren, we fired, and I feii.' Does not know Mi\ Christie or Mr. Tr- iil'sehristian nartie. Deceased . x pressed himself satisfied with Mr. Chris'ie's conduct, whom he" described as very kind to him after he was wounded. • Mr. Pettigrew attended deceased on the day after he was wounded. J. J Gurlipe,- surgeon, proved," that he extracted the bail, and in every other respect confirmed the testimony of" Dr. Darling, las did also Dr. Pointer, who was the first . medical person called in to attend Mr. Scott. At this stage of the business, there being' no other wit- ness present, at oue o'clock, the Coroner and Jury pro- ceededcd to view the body, and afterwards adjourned to Friday. . 0. n Friday evening, the Inquest was resumed. . ; Mr. T: J. Pettigrew, surgeon, said he bad no. Kiiov> ledge . of the deceased until the day on . which the occurr- ence happened.; met him on'the evening alluded to ; was requested, to afford professional assistance, should such be requisite, by Mr. Pat more. Having ( ar ri ved at Chalk Farm, and reaching near the top of the. hill,, be perceiv- ed some Gentlemen in. the field, and immediately pistols we're discharged ; lie did not know any of the Gentlemen in the field below him, except . Mr. Pytmore, nor should he know him again. It was a moonlight night, but foggy 5 be^ be' 3- rd - no- conversation^ between - tire- Gentlemen prior to the discharge of the pistols ; heard an exclamation after the discharge, and got. over the. hedge ; found Mr. Scott on his knees, Mr. Scott pointed out to him ihe part in, which he had been struck. Found an opening between the lower rib and the hip bone of the right n. le. Mr. Scott fainted, but soon recovered ; although the ball ap- peared to have perforated the cavity of the abdomen, hisj speedy revival, added, to the small discharge of blood, sa- tisfied him that no large internal' blood vessel had been injured. Mr. Christie asked him what he- thought of tho - wound, --. He repjied. that. he feared the wound was mortal, in the hearing of Mr. Scott ; when he addressed MY. Sco111 and expressed a wish " that he had been in Mr. Scott's situation rather than Mr. Scott should have, been wounded by him." Mr. Scott then said, " whatever may be the issue of this case. I beg you all to bear in remem- brance that every thing has been fair and honourable."-— Mr. Pettigrcw then went on to narrate his return to town, and his having preparations made at Mr. Scott's lodgings for his reception, but his assistant came, and stated, that, from the state of Mr. Scott, it had been found necessary to let him remain at Chalk Farm. He continued, in conjunction with Mr. Guthrie and Dr. Darling, to visit, Mr. Scott till his decease. He attributed his death to the gradual effusion of blood, and to inflammation. Tho injury he received was the. cause of bis death. , The Coroner asked witness if he considered himself bound, in the way of his profession, to obey such sum- monses ? Witness said he never . refused to attend when called upon, even by the most abject individual. Some animadversions were made both by the Coroner anil some of the Jury, 011 the circumstance of . Mr. Scott having been left without any surgical, aid for a space of time afier the departure of Mr. Pettigrew and his assis- tant ; in reply to which, Mr. Pettigrew observed, that it was the nature of gun- shot wounds, in many instances,- not to require surgical assistance, and . this, vyas one of them. Witness being asked if he did not hear it said 011 ' I the ground by Mr. Christie, that he had . fired down the ! field ? replied— Mr. Christie said " Why was I permitted j to fire a second time ? I discharged my pistol down the l field before, I could not do more " These expressions r were made in consequence of some altercation between j the seconds. Mr. Christie took Mr.' Scott by the hand S after he was wounded, and . witness desired him to stand ; away, Mr. Scott being at that time about to faint. Mr. j Patmore stated to witness some days after the occurrence, that if Mr. Christie and his friend had agreed that ho should not return Mr. Scott's fire, Mr. Christie's friend, was bound, after the fire, to have communicated to him ; the conduct pursued by Mr. Christie, of which he Mr. Patmore was entirely ignorant. W. Beville Maurice, pupil to Mr Pettigrew, confirm- ed part of the lattei's statement ; but said to the best of his recollection, that Mr. Pettigrew observed, the wound was by no means mortal. The Jury, after deliberating for about half . an hour, re- turned a verdict of— Wilful Murder against Mr. Christie/ Mr. Trail, and Mr. Patmore The Coroner issued his warrant for their apprehension* The Inquest was not over till after Twelve o'Clock.

In this point of view, we be- hold Naples set. up as a mark, at which is to be burled all the shafts of tyranny in Europe, all the treachery and $ 11 the force of Austria and Russia will lie set in motion to subdue or destroy her, and it is no wonder we look at the issue with fearful sospence. The future historian shall record the sequel, but . to us the page of futurity is dark and- bea- ildeiiiig ; all conjecture is discouraging, there is nothing like equality in the combatants, for all Europe almost are, directly or indirectly, in arms against a small corner. Armies are swelled ( at least on paper) to unusual magnitude, those armies too, that even dared to encounter Napoleon, at the head of the armies of Re- publican fiance, in the very climax of their pomp and power, no wonder the lovers of freedom be alarmed. Still it is fruitless to despomi. if the justice of a cause be any guarantee of success, it is certainly on the side of Naples : her army too, so prompt and instrumental in effecting a revolution, must still continue to deserve well of their country"; they cannot be so inconsistent as forego in the course of a few months, nil the benefits of so impottant an event; they Cannot tamely resome their chains, with- out an appeal to arms ; we do not think so meanly of their good sense or their courage: the eyes of many na- tions are upon them, and by firmness they will procure the admiration of the whole world. Let Naples present an iron front to her invaders, let her receive the first onset with firmness, and Austria will be convulsed to her ecntre who would not glory to risk life ill such a cause, let her adopt the sentiment of OUT immortal BBIIN- S : la the field ol proud honour, our swords in our hands, Our King and our Country to save. While victory shines on life's last ebbing sands, O ! who would not die with the brave! Aberdeen, March 7, 1821. CIV. The novel Entertainment of A M A S Q U E IT A D E AND FANCY BALL, Such as was recently patronized by the most brilliant and numerous assemblages ever seen in Dundee and Perth, is intended to take place as early as possible, provided the Manager can learn, that such Enteitainment would meet the approval ol' his Patrons in Aberdeen.

THE FARMER LIME COMPANY have - 3- received the first LIME ofthe season, and will continue to have a regular supply. This Company was formed scrme years ago, by numerous Farmers, for the purpose of obtaining for themselves the best English Lime at the cheapest rate ; and since then, the public have been served with better lime and at a less price than formerly. The Farmer Lime Company will always have the best lime, and dispose of it at the lowest price possible. The arrangements which they have made enable them to lower the price this season. And they aTe confident that the public will always find it the- ir interest to deal with them. The usual credit will be given, but those whochuse to buy with ready money wpl find it partieulai ly advantage! us to do so ; audit is requested, that all who intend to fa- vour this Company with their orders, will be very careful to direct their servants and others, carrying lime from them. " To the Farmer Lime Company11— as mistakes have frequently occurred, persons who conceived they were getting their lime from this Company not having d ' tie so. The Company arc about to place their business at Kintore upon a difierent and more" advantageous footing for their customers than formerly. In the meantime, a proper supply will be found there, and at Port Elphin- stoti. Mr. JOHN Girt, the Company's late Manager, has now no concern whatever with their business •. Mr. GEO. CRUICKSH ANIC is the present Manager at Aberdeen ; and SEBASTIAN DAVID- ON, Assistant.

Mr. PLUNKET moved, in the House of Commons, in a brilliant and animated speech, that tile " Oaths and Declarations affect- ing the Catholic disabilities, with a view to a mo- dification erf the same, should lie submitted to a Committee of the whole House, which, after a long and animated debate, was carried by a majority of G— the numbers being, ayes, 227— noes, 221. We hail this as the harbinger of a more liberal system in Parliament, and as the bc3t menus of healing those divisions, which haveso long unhappily prevailed in and agitated the sister kingdom. Mr. PLUNKET, in his excellent* pet* ch, stated, " he had the fullest confidence tiiat he should be able in the Committee, to propose a practical measure which would prejudice no jmrty and conciliate all." At no former period could such an union be considered as of more essential importance to tlie United King- dom, arrived as we are at a crisis big with the most portentous events, both at home and abroad : when all differences ought to be cemented, and . all ground of animosity or dissension be removtfd, as the most efficacious, if not the only means of preserving en- tire the benefits of ottr Constitution, and of restor- ing it where weakened or impaired. King of Naples in now proved to demonstration. Indeed, his embarking aboard an English sliip oF war, and the extravagant joy he manifested on gett- ing on board, shewed plainly that he was not oil terms of Confidence with his subjects, nor a sincere friend to the Revolution they had accomplished.— His Letter to his Son, requiring him to submit to necessity and receive the Austrian army as friends, was bv no means unexpected ; but it e* cited the strongest indignation, at Naples, where the people seem resolved upon war in preference to degradation. The regular military force of the Neapolitan*, if we may credit the public reports, is very respectable, more numerous than the invading Austrian army, amounting to sixty thousand infantry and twenty thousand cavalry, with a train © fartillerv in propor- | tion, and the militia now training is reckoned at one hundred thousand effective men. It has been said, that it is intended to move the greater part of tbe regular military force upon Rome, leaving the passes to he gnardedjiy the militia ; but, in the pre- sent state of discipline of the Neapolitan army, it is to be hoped, that a pitched battle may for some time at least be avoided. In the mean time, France is reduced to a very . critical situation, explanation TO COVER, AT A1JOYNE CASTLE, BETHi. km GABER, gotwsoRCEUER. his !>: un, by Bnrrard, out of Crai'i— full bred, Daik Brown, with black legs; stands 1C£ hands high a suie Foal getter; and for Bone and Action, his like was never shew- n in the North.

SIR, THE Fair Sex have been so often reproved for the levity of their dress, that- any thing which might be now- advanced upon the subject would be worse than useless : they liavi' become perfectly incorrigible. It is curious, however, to observe, that this stig. na was attached to them so long ago as the reign of RICUAHB II. : our cele- brated poet. CHACCBR, in the quaint language of the times, thus expresses himself upon the subject: Aias t way uut a . mail see, as in our own days, the FARMS AND CROFT TO LET. On Saturday the 17th of March, at 10 o'clock forenoon, there will he Let. at Mill Inn of Stonehaven, r|" M] E following FARMS and CROFTS, in the JL Parishes of OUNOTTA R and ARBUTHNOTT, and County of Kincardine, for the periodsafter- mention- ed, viz. The Farm of NETHER CRTGG1E. as now bound- ed and marched, occupied by Alexander Paterson, con- sisting of * 15A. 2R 33r. of Arable Laud ; and 21A. of Pasture. The Slatted COTTAGE and CROFT, part of Ne- ther Criggie. lying on the north side ofthe Plantations, consisting of 2 acres Arable, and about 1 r acres of Pas- ture. That part of LITTLE BARRAS, occupied by John Falconer, consisting of 22 acres Arable, and 10 of Pas- ture. These will be Let for 10 years, from Whitsunday first. The FARMSef WEST- TOWN, and I'AIRNY- BRAE, either in one or three lots. The south lot, con- sisting of about 20aeres Arable, and 22 of Pasture; the middle lot. of 52 acres Arable, and 44 of Pasture ; and the north lot, of 39 acres Arable, and 52 of Pasture. These Possessions will be let for J ft years, from Martin- mas next, and being all in Grass, tile same will be let fot this season, on such terms as can be agreed on. All these Farms lie within a few miles of Stonehaven, to which there is access by excellent roads. For further particulars, apply to Andrew Jopp, , V( i- vocate in Aberdeen ; and William Thomson, at Briggs of Ctiggic, will point out the maithes. having bten demanded by Spain of the intentions of LOUIS with regard to Naples, with intimation, that iu case of these intentions being hostile, a Spanish army of observation will be posted on the French frontiers to act according to circumstances. The Spaniards and Neapolitans are now soldiers of liberty, and should the tri- coloiired eoekade be again exhi- bited in the South of France, it raav be more < rene- • . ' ... o rally adopted than is at present imagined. That Loujs dreads the idea of calling out an armv is cvi - dent; but he has. it is said, stipulated, that be shall afford a certain supply of money in aid ofthe crusade against Naples, and on . this subject very ani- mated debates have taken place in the Chamber of Representatives. Whether the late elections have been so managed as to ensure a ministerial majority in the Chambers, we do not know with certainty ; but some independent and honest representatives there are, who ixildly condemn the application of national funds to such a purpose. Upon the whole, by the last communications from Paris, there is reason to expect a convulsion ; and that the French nation, the roost powerful in Europe, both in ' phy- sical strength and wealth, may at its will mould a political order of tilings to its liking admits of no doubt. In the event of any revolutionary move- ment in France, the Holy Alliance must be placed in a very aukward situation, as both the Austrian and Prussian armies are known to entertain liberal opinions concerning liberty, antl may prove not dis- inclined to follow good example. One thing is truly gratifying to the friends of liberty in this country, and that is, the condemna- tion of the conduct of the allies towards Naples by all parties in the House of Commons ; but what the conduct of Ministers has really been, and what cor- respondence has passed between our Government and the assembled Potentates, remains to be ex- plained. It is now jjatn, that the King of Naples was sent for, . that he might in safety issue his de- claration against the Constitution adopted by his subjects, and throw what weight may attach to his name into the scale of the hostile invaders of his territory. What ideas must this awaken, in the minds of well informed Neapolitans, concerning his solemn registered oath to maintain in all extremi- ties the Constitution of their choice— or what shall thev think of a Constitution, according to which, the deter puliation of an imbecile old man is made to be more than a counterpoise to all the intellect, in- formation, and patriotism of his kingdom ' i If it be true, that the Neapolitan army has advanced to- wards the papal territory, we may expect to hear of the eommencement of hostilities very soon. The ardent sprit of hlierty, now so generally diffused, cannot be extinguished ; but its healing influence, we trust, shall be more and more extended. The overwhelming force with which Naples is threaten- ed, and the pressure of those circumstances in which that people find themselves suddenly placed, may give a temporary check to. the cause ol'freedom, but the zeal with which all. nuiks are animated in its sepport, augurs favourably for. its ultimate triumph. The progress of liberal opinions cannot, in the pre- » ent advanced stote of knowledge and civilization, be long retarded ; nor will the power of despotism be sufficient to'prevent the establishment of free Constitutions in the three kingdoms of Spain, Por- tugal, and Naples, confessedly the worst systems iu Europe. Occupied as the public attention has been by the critical situation of Naples, it has conse quently in a great measure been diverted from the passing events, important as they must be re- garded, in the other emancipated kingdoms. It is, however, very gratifying to observe the steady progress both make, in establishing on permanent bases their new Constitutions. A more interesting solemnity could not be imagined than the late meet- ing of the Cortes in Portugal, amid the hopes of that happy people from the exhilarating prospect before them, and their benedictions on the labours of their new Representatives, destined as they be- lieve, to rescue them from that unparalleled degra- dation and misrule under which they had so long and grievously suffered. The Nobles, Clergy, and all ranks, cordially unite in the grand work of national regeneration, and appear equally anxious for the public welfare, so that all doubt is happily removed as to any attempt at a partial reform, justly to be considered as the mere shadow of freedom. The best spirit prevails among the people, and the Exe- cutive Government, now formed into a Regency, BIRTHS— At Brightmotry, on the 23d ult.

The bodies oj'two of the unfortunate sufferers have been found, the others ar « still wanting. The alarming depredations which have been committed of late in this city and neighbourhood, we trust, are now eOeettially checked, as a discovery . has been made, which has led not only to the recovi ry of a considerable value of stolen property, hut to the apprehension of some of the parties concerned in these nefarious proceedings. We learn, that such a clue has been led to trace the gang, as to leave little doubt of their being soon in custody, but we are prevented from stating farther particulars in the pre- sent stage of the investigation. It must, however, tran- quillize the public mind to know, that the chain, by which this villanous combination has been conduc ted, is effec- tually broken. Early on Wednesday morning last, an attempt was made to break into a Shop at Footdee, but the watchman prevented the thitves from getting any booty, or proceed- ing farther than breaking opt? n a door. The prints of their feet on the snow- showed that, there were three of them. TIIE LAST OPPORTUNITY.— Algierscloses. this evening— and 011 Monday evening, the Panorama of Waterloo will open.

The infant Princess Elizabeth died on Sunday morning at one o'clock. It will fce recollected that she was pre- maturely born ; but notwithstanding this circumstance, she was rapidly gaining health and strength till the sudden changes of the weather began to affect her. On Thurs- day night she was a little feverish, and on Friday morn- ing Sir Henry Halford and Sir William Knighton held rt consultation with Sir Andrew Halliday : after which thev remained in attendance the whole of that day and on Satur- day. Though she was not supposed to be dying, yet tin, disorder appeared so serious, that the physicians did not; separate till past eleven o'clock on Saturday night, and Sir Andrew Halliday did not go to bed at all. A little before one a changewas observed to have taken place, and Sir- Andrew was called : he found the Princess in. a convul- sive tit j in which she expired about ten minutes after one ovelock. The Duchess of Clarence was called in time t< » see her only child expire : she then fainted in the arms of the Duke, who expressed himself perfectly resigned. A letter from Br% hto » , dated March 1, says, " Dr; Crighton, the Physician in Ordinary to the Emperor or Russia, now Sir Alexander Crighton, had the honour of Knighthood conferred on him by his Majesty at the Pavi- lion this evening." Four corps ofthe Austrian army had passetl through Florence previous to the 20th last j a fifth corps Mas ex- pected in that city on the 21st. The halt of the vanguard | at Sienna, which excited some hopes of a favourable change ] in the Councils of the Allied Sovereigns, appears to have j been merely a measure of precaution. From the dctermin- j ed spirit of resistance displayed by the Neapolitans, the j Austrian Gen, th i nks i t neeessary to coneent rate h is army be- ; fore he enters the Neapolitan frontiers. The march ofthe I Austrian army has excited n great sensation in Madrid and j all the provinces of Spain. In every country on earth, that breathes a spirit of liberty, it must produce a like effect lit; must be the fervent prayer of every man who values the it.-, dependence of his own country, that not one of these rutl - less borders, who carry war and desolation into the peace- ful and unoffending cities of Naples, shall ever, return.
