T am persuaded, that jt was gratifying to a number of Vour readers, to see the Letter of Humanus in your last. And although few are less qualified to follow up the re- mark of your Correspondent, I beg leave, through the medium of your valuable paper, to throw in my mite in behalf of the infatuated youth in question. lie is cer- tainly a lit object of commiseration, he is neither a child nor a man, but a poor inconsiderate unthinking youth, born in our city, deprived of his mother at an early period, when the tender instructions of a virtuous mother would have been most seasonable ; and who knows any thing of human nature, and will not confess the influence. that such a mother may have, even over a wicked son ? It appears, that this young boy has indeed been very much hardened in wickedness, and has run on from one e< il to another, until the last sentence of the law has been fpronounced against him ; but who knows his own youth- siil follies and faults, or those of others, and would not ympathise in this case, ahoy under 18 years of age, his judgment not properly formed, far less capable of bearing upon his actions, easily advised lo evil, as all men naturally are, impelled on perhaps by persons more wicked than himself, but more artful in avoiding detection, and many other considerations, well calculated to arouse our sympathy. But what I wish is, that the humane inhabi- tants of this city, with the concurrence of the Lord Provost, XvTagistrates, and worthy Clergymen, would interest them- selves to be the means of saving the life of this poor creature. As an encouragement to this, I beg leave to . say, that, we have a living evidence ( so far as 1 know) that mercy extended to a criminal under sentence of death in this city, on a late occasion, had a most salutary effect. I refer to the case of Andrew Donald, whose crime was nearly the same as William Grant's. There is good rea- . son to believe, that he A. i). is now a blessing to society, not only in a civil but also in a religious point of view ; for, the first accounts we heard of him after he left . our jail was. that he had been the means of forming a Bible Society the first ofthe kind in the place where he then was— what a mercy was this ? Ilis life was saved at the earnest request of the respectable and humane citizens of • this place, and his circumstances were blessed by the Ruler have often amused myself in a clear night when the mfloft does not appear, in observing the luminous reflection of the salt water when it is put in motion by the ship. The sparkling matter is sometimes collected into flaming clusters,' which seem to roll upoft the water, or to dart along like meteors, if the ship has got a quick motion. " Naturalists are at a loss to account for this phenomenon, though several pretend to assign the cause of it. Doctor SIMPSON thinks it is owing to an acido- sulphureous efflu- vium passing through the sea, and being struck with ' sudden percussions betwixt air and water, occasions the appearance like fire. A gentleman who delivers his opi- nion on this subject in the London Magazine for 1757, thinks it is occasioned by an infinite number of animalcula?. And Mr. TOUUNEFORT imagines, that it must proceed from the vast quantity of the oil and fat of fishes which is deposited in tbe sea. Whatever may be the true cause of this phenomenon, there is one awful conclusion may be drawn from it, that when it shall please the great Author of nature to consume, or rather to refine the terraqueous globe on which we live, by the general conflagration we are to expect, even this immense body of water only waits its Maker's command, being already stored with fiery par- ticles sufficient to set it in a fl ime. After losing sight of Sirdinia, the first land we dis- covered ' was the island Ustica at a great distance to the left, and soon afterwards the Sicilian mountains, with the small Islands on the west of it. namely Maritimo. Lavenso, and F. ivoniana, Ihe ancient iEgstes; they now belong to the King ofthe Sicilies. Between Leghorn and these isla.- ads we met with several Genoese vessels loaded with corn from Sicily, which is a very fertile island, and has always been remarkable for this useful commodity, insomuch that the Poets supposed Ceres, the goddess of corn, to reside iu this island ; and during the lime of the Roman Empire it served as their principal granary. From a passage in I lerodotus, we may form an idea of its remarkable fruitfulness in those days, when agriculture was not so well understood perhaps as it is at present. When the Ambassadors of the associated Grecians arrived in Sicily to confer with Gelon, Tyrant of Syracuse, and desire that he would enter into a con- federacy with them against Xerxes, who was then ready Jo invade Greece, Gelon promised not only to assist them with 200 gal lies, 20,000 men completely armed, 2000 horse, 2030 bowmen, 2000 slingers, and 2000 light horse; but he likewise obliged himself to furnish the whole of events to ( we hope) the saving of his better part. Let this encourage the advocates of Christianity and Humanity to use their influence, that the same mercy may be ex- tended to the poor stripling, whose cause tlve writer wishes to plead.

SI a, IT cannot hut be very disagreeable to every person, in the present state of our streets, to walk in them at all, on account of the great clouds of dust which are flying about. Might not this be easily prevented, by employ- ing some carts, prepared in such a manner as that water might be poured out upon the streets, and the dust be kept down ? This is done in Edinburgh and other places, aud why not in Aberdeen?

There was a pretty good shew of beasts at Pasch market, at Auchinblae, on Thursday, but few or no sales were made ; unless, iu a few instances, of milch cows, and these too were at low prices.— The dullness of the above markets may be ascribed, in a great measure, to its being too early for buying in stock for grass parks. Thursday week, a person, giving himself out for a founder from Dunbar or Portobello, and pretending to be on his way to Aberdeen, enticed an old man into an inn, on the road between Inverkeilor and Montrose, and having succeeded in abstracting his watch, sold it in that town; but, by the activity of William Bennct, a town- officer, the watch has been recovcied. VOYAGE TO TIIE LEVANT. LETTER VI. DFAR. SIR, Scio Hood, Jane 27, 1758. WE aro now in the very heart of the Archipelago and I believe we shall remain at this place for some weeks at least, till we have certain information that Smyrna is quite free of the plague, which decreases daily. At Leghorn we were obliged to perform quarantine; but at our coming here, we put ourselves under a kind of voluntary one, not suffering any person to come aboard, though numbers of Turks and Greeks came off to see the Grecian army with corn during all the time ofthe war, on condition that he should be made their General. But they, disdaining his terms, went away, without makingan agreement. From this instance, one may observe the ex- traordinary fertility of Sicily, when Gelon, who was pos- sessed only of a part of it, could make such such large proffers. As we were turning round the island Maritimo, June Ist, we met with a ship belonging to Leghorn, bound thither from Alexandria. The master of her, whose name was Iliggins, a good honest Irishman, told us, that he had been brought to the day before, by a French man of war of 64 guns, cruising with a frigate, off'the island Pantalaria. which lies about halfway between Sicily and Africa, just in cur way, as we intended to go through the channel of Malta. While we lay at Leghorn. Mr. Dick, the British Consul, received intelligence, that two French men of war were serftfrom Toulon on purpose to intercept the Preston, and now this was an undoubted confirmation of the truth of it. As we were by no means a match for the enemy, it would have been a very hazardous attempt to have proceeded, and we could not think of escaping them, as they had the advantage of being to windward of us ; for the wind was then at about S. by E. wherefore it was thought proper to bear away for the Straits of Messina. This resolution was very agreeable to me, as it gave me hopes of seeing not only the celebrated Scvlla and Charybdis, but likewise the burning mountains iEtna and Stromboli. The next morning we passed by Ustica, which lies about 10 leagues north of Palermo. It is about four miles and a half long, and three broad. I could see little appearance of any inhabitants, but our pilot told me, there were some few houses and an old church on the island. It seems to be full of furze and other bushes, and to afford plenty of game. From thence we could see Alieur and Felieur, the two westermost of the Liparian islands, about 15 leagues distant ; which, on our nearer approach, seemed like two mountains of a sugar loaf form. On our right hand all the way, we had a fine prospect ofthe high moun- tains of Sicily. In the evening, just as it began to grow dark, we could observe Mount Stromboli. blazing now and then. It was at the distance of about 20 leagues or up- wards, and as it continued throwing out flames at intervals during the night, it made a very awful appearance, the fire seeming to rise out of the sea. Next morning, about 7 o'clock, we passed close by this vulcano, and had a full prospect of it. I took the op- portunity of drawing a sketch of it. The flames seldom appear in the day time, but the top of the mountain is generally covered with smoke. Stromboli is a very high mountain, and pretty steep on all sides. The circum- ference at the bottom is about five or six English miles. On the west side of it, near the top, is the principal ori- fice, from whence the smoke issues out almost continually, and now and then an eruption of flame. There are se- veral other smaller orifices which likewise throw out smoke and fire. Down the sides of this mountain you may see several streams, or tracts of pumice- stones, and the dregs of the combustible matter which it throws out of its bowels. At the bottom of the hill, on the south- east. part of it, there is a small village, w ith several pretty little gardens and vineyards, and some corn ground. I have been informed, that it produces excellent wine, and that the inhabitants live very comfortably ; however, I am far from thinking their situation is to be envied. Strom- boli is the most northerly of all the Liparian islands.— They are so called from Lipari the largest of them. The others of any note are Salini, Panaria, Basiluza, Lieia, and Volcanello, with a number of small inconsiderable islands, or rather, rugged uninhabitable rocks, which lie scattered up and down among them. Volcanello, or the little Volcano, lies between Lipari and Sicily, in which there is likewise a burning mountain, but not so consider- able as Mount Stromboli at present, ( though it would ap- pear from Virgil, that it was more so formeily.) being particularly dedicated to Vulcan, whose name it still bears. The ancients imagined, and perhaps with reason, that there was a subterraneous communication between Mount - Etna and th'ese islands. As far as I know, there are not so many and so remarkable burning mountains in one neighbourhood, to. be found on the whole globe, as iFma, Vesuvius, Stromboli, aud Volcanello. Perhaps it may MISCELL A NEO US. SIR FRANCIS BURDETT. An Address having been sent to Manchester to Sir fcrancis Rurdett, the worthy Baronet has return- ed the following most excellent answer: " King's Bench Prison, April 6, 1821. " GENTLEMEN — I feel highly gratified by the mark of your regard which you have been pleased to present to me. Your testimony, and that of other of my disinterest- ed fellow- countrymen, will, I am sure, speak more for me than the ex- officio insinuations of an Attorney General can ever speak against me. I have always been willing to be tried by my fellow- countrymen ; to them, through a long public life, I have uniformly appealed ; if they approve, the. loss of liberty, dear as liberty is to me. is not unaccompanied with consolation ; without their ap- proval, and without the consciousness of rectitude, neither liberty nor life has any charms for me. " Gentlemen— The first effort which I shall make after leaving these walls, will be for an inquiry into that out- rage which filled your town with mourning and all Eng- land with indignation. To flatter vort with a prospect that that effort wjll be successful, would become neither my sincerity nor your understanding. You know the place where, and the persons to whom, that appeal is to be made. But the speaking of truths is never altogether un- productive of effect. Corruption may defer, but cannot entirely ward off that blow, which one day or the other will avenge the wrongs, the manifold, the multiplied wrongs of an injured nation " In the mean time. Gentlemen, let us do our duty— let us conciliate all the friends of virtue and liberty, and let us take care that the enemies of virtue and liberty gam no advantage over us, either by our untimely enthusiasm, or by what is much worse, our. indifference or despair. I am, Gentlemen, " Your obedient humble Servant; ( Signed) <• FRANCIS BURDETT." had no ships under our convoy from thence, but are come here by ourselves. Leaving Leghorn, May 22d, we passed by Gorgona, and Capraia, and sailed along the east side of Corsica, in sight of Bastia, the principal town of the Island, which is pretty well fortified. It is situated at the foot of a high . bill, by the sea side, having a good harbour. The Island of Corsica is subject to the Republic of Genoa, by whom it was conquered in the year 775, and as it had formerly been the residence of a Saracen King, the Doge of Genoa assumes a crown and sceptre. The Corsicans have made many vigorous attempts to throw off the Genoese yoke; but have never been able entirely to effect it. Their masters indeed have generally carried it over them with a \ 6ry high hand, and have even by their arbitrary measures, in a manner forced the malcontents often to take arms. Not many years ago they they proclaimed the famous Theodore, Baron of Newhoff, their King, though a foreigner : nay, they offered to submit to the Emperor, to Spain, or in short to any power rather than to their own Sovereigns : and unless the Genoese use them with greater lenity and moderation, and endeavour to conciliate their affections, they will never be cordial subjects. The mountains in the middle of the island are high and rug- ged, they were covered with snow when we passed by. On our left we saw the island Elba, called by the Greeks iE'thalia. and by Virgil, Uva, which he says assisted yEneas with 500 men. It now belongs to the Grand Duke of ' fuscany. On the north- east side, there is a good harbour, with a town called Porto Ferraro. About two or three leagues south west of Elba, lies Planusa, which is a small island so low and plain, that you can hardly see it till you are close upon it. The next island in our way is Monte Christo, which is noth- ing but a high rocky mountain. They give out that a miraculous crucifix was found upon it formerly, on the spot where the convent now stands.' There are very few inhabitants on this island, except monks and some fisher- men. By this time we began to have a distinct prospect of the Sardinian hills. Corsica and Sardinia are sepa- rated by a narrow strait called Bocca di Bonifacio. The land on each side is low, running out as it were in a point, with several rocks near the shore. Off this strait, we found a current setting north- east, about two- thirds of a mile an hour. Having light breezes of wind and smooth water, I be worth the consideration of the curious, why these fiery eruptions should always happen in mountains, and the highest parts of them too, rather than in vallies, or a plain level country. From Stromboli to the Fare of Messina, the distance is about 15 leagues S. E. There is no appearance of a passage, or opening, till you are just, off the Straits mouth, which makes it somewhat difficult for those who are un- acquainted with the place to find it out, as the two head- lands stretch- within one another, and the hills on each side seem at a distance to be one continued ridge. There arc always pilots waiting at the Fare to conduct vessels through. An old grey- headed Charon came off to us in a small boat rowed by four stout young fellows, and having agreed with the Captain for his price, he brought us to an- anchor. June the fourth, about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, as we had not wind enough to carry us through. The old man would not come aboard, for fear of being obliged to perform quarantine, but promised to come off to us early in the mo ning, if the wind should spring up favourable. There is very good anchoring ground near the Fare, where ships may ride very safely. We lay just off the castle in 9 fathoms water. By sounding, we found the depths of water round us, as you see expressed in the plan. The point which is low and flat, runs out a consi- derable way, aud forms the head of the Bay of Messina ; it was anciently called the Promontory of Pelorus. At the old castle above mentioned, where they have a few guns, and a company of soldiers, is the Pharos or fire- tower, where they constantly keep a light in tbe night time, from whence the Cape is called II Faro di Messina, and our seafaring people, who are not remarkable for their accuracy in giving places their proper names, ge- nerally call not only this Cape, but likewise the Straits of ! Messina, the Veer instead ofthe Fare. Just opposite, on the Calabrian side, there is an old castle, built on a high rock, with a village hard by it, which at this day is called Sigla, very probably the same with the ancient Scylla : our pilot informed me, there were several rocks on that side both above and under water. However, we saw some tartans and other small vessels at anchor before the village. Between the castle of the Fare and-' that of Sigla, the distance is about three miles and a half; but between the point ofthe Fare, and the light tower oyer against it, which is the narrowest GERERAL PEPE TO THE NEAPOLITANS. We have received, from a Paris Correspondent, a letter addressed to the Neapolitan nation, by Ge- neral Pcpe, anterior to his departure from the Nea- politan tcrritorv. It is too'long to be given entire, hut we extract the following passages. He First re- fers to the ingratitude with which his patriotic ex- ertions had been rewarded : " Neapolitans, I am almost ashamed to call you coun- trymen, after all you have done and all I have suffered. I have no language fo express the detestation in which I hold the conduct of ( hose who have guided your councils in the late eventful period, or the disgust I feel at the base- , ness of your conduct on everp occasion when the enemy • made hi-, appearance. You filed, yon deserted, you sub- | mitted ; and submitted upon the terms of the conqueror; and this, too, in the face of all your protestations— of all I your pretended enthusiasm for liberty and independence." ! He dwells for some time on this subject, enter- . ing into particular details of the disasters in the Abruzzi, and after alluding to what might have been j performed there, proceeds thus : Had you made a stand when resistance was so pos- sible, and victory so probable, how different would have been your situtation and mine— how different the situa- ! f tion ofthe civilised world !— The flame of liberty would j have spread from the peninsula of Italy into the North ; ( and those very Governments that were the means of your subjugation, might themselves have been compelled to to grant a Constitution to their subjects. It is not I only who am disappointed, it is ^ 11 mankind— all men who have a spark of generosity in their bosoms ; and, let me add, that even among yourselves, I know there arc many who bitterly grieve over past events, that never can be're medied or recalled. Thc opportunity is past, and all Europe thrown a century back in the acquisition of free- dom, by your treachery and pusillanimity." With regard to himself, he observes : " That I am an exile, is nothing. I am content to suffer, and would gladly suffer much more, could 1 bene- fit the land in which I was born. 1 have done my duty, and that is alone thc consolation that is left me." Thc deck timber, consisting of4' large logv was washed awav : the ring bolts having been torn from the decks, and the stanchions broken down. The vessel would un- doubtedly have gone to pieces had she not been" kept as easy as possible by steering. before the wind. All this day ( Wednesday) they had nothing'whatever to eat, and in continual apprehension of being washed away. On the following day the gale brffgan to abate a little, so that though drenched every moment by the sea, they had some shelter from the cold under the poop, where they piled up cables, wet sails and staves, to keep themselves out of the xv a tor, and on which they lay down* The front part of the poop was entirely beaten out by thc sea. They then thought a fire would serve to revive them, but had no means of striking a light, or of procuring any combustible substance amidst the general torrents that surrounded them. Most of the crew, so unexpected was the disaster, had neither hats nor stockings, and their clothes Were constantly soaked with salt water. There was now nothing left on board," says the mate, « • that could be of any relief tons; neither meat, drink, nor clothing, except a barrel of pork and a tierce of beef, which were so salt, that though some tasted a mouthful, others prudently desisted." The ship, from being water- logged, was very unmanageable ; during the day they steered by compass, and at night by the stars as well as they could guess towards the east. When the sea became high, there being a continuance of gales, they were driven to the poop, where they held on by the ropes. This day they had nothing to eat. In this dreadful condition they remained for some days. Part of a cask of water was got at, but it was at first two- thirds salt, and latterly no fresher than the wave that washed over them. It was, however, generally drank, except by two or three of the men, and was eagerly resorted to by those in particular who afterwards died, who asked for it as fast as it could be handed to them. On the Friday night a boy and a man died. On the Wednesday following, after a waefe of privation, another man died ; and on Thursday a fourth. The Captain had a dog on board, which being a favourite, he was unwilling to kill, to the last extre- mity. After being nine days without nourishment or water, save a few drops caught on the poop when it rained, and which owing to the spray were little fresher than the sea itself, it was on Thursday represented to the Captain that they must all perish unless the dog was killed for subsistence. To this he at length agreed, and the animal being bled to death, the Captain directed the mate ( Mr. Macleod, for whose information this narrative is drawn up) to serve every part out fairly and economical- ly, which he did by dividing the blood with a table spoon; three spoonfuls to each man, and the liver, heart, and kidneys were divided into 15 shares each, and distri- buted for that day's subsistence. About this time the Captain, who had tlnoughout suppressed the expression of his sufferings lest he should intimidate the men, be- came deranged, rushed upon deck ; bid God bless his wife and children; spoke of a mutiny in the ship, and used other incoherent language. He was prevailed upon to < ro to his cot, where, after 24 hours of insanity and suffering, he expired. The whole of the suivivors now became so weak that only the mate, a robust young man, and three others could stand ; these steered the vessel as well as they could towards the east, the westerly gales still prevailing. As they conjectured they had sailed, since water- logged about COO miles, they were in hopes of seeing the land of Ireland, or they would have given up every exertion for preservation ; but on the- afternoon of Friday ( the 11th day) it became more calm, and the wind suddenly changing to the eastward, blighted all their hopes. They had not seen a vessel during the whole passage, and a glimpse of hope rushing upon them that some one might fall in their way. they hauled up the foresail, made fast the tiller, and committed themselves the whole of that night to the guidance of Providence.— By this time three quarters of the dog were. consumed.— At day- break next morning, they saw, with inexpressible delight, a vessel to leeward. The mate and the few who could drap; their emaciated limbs, managed to set the foresail, and with some pieces of canvas made a sort of signal from the top- mast rigging. As soon as the people in the vessel spied them, they had their sails aback", and hoisted out their boat, which was soon alongside of them. The sea was so rough that the boat had to make several trips to rescue all the survivors. The wreck was of course abandoned, being then in Lit. 45. N. long. W. a very great distance from any land. It was providential that the wind changed to the eastward, which threw this ves- sel in their way, as she would otherwise have passed them during the night. She proved to be the Ann, of New York, Captain Croker. bound to this pOrt. " Every thing," says the mate of the Barrett, V was done for us which medicine, meat, drink, and hospitality c. ruld sup- ply, and my own father could not have treated me with greater kindness than Captain Croker." The Ann ar- rived here a week after taking thc sufferers from the wreck, who, during this time, with the exception of one or two, were unable to rise from their hammocks. They are all of them so weak and emaciated, having their limbs broken out in ulcers, owing to the continued action ofthe si water for eleven long days, that they will be unable for some weeks, even with every attention, to pur- sife their perilous vocation ; and being mostly strangers in Liverpool, and having lost all but the remnants on their backs, are in a most destitute condition. It may also be remarked that owing to a law ( instituted we be- lieve by the underwriters as an inducement to mariners to abide by their vessel to the last) they will not receive a farthing of wages ; although we think such a law, in a case like this, would be more honoured in - the breach than the observance." These circumstances loudly ap- peal to the benevolent in behalf of these poor fellows, be- longing to a class of men, who in war are the safeguard of tlieir country, and who in peace pursue a hazardous employment, in order to administer to. our comforts and our. luxuries. The survivors are twelve in number.— Among, these we are happy to mention Joseph Caldwell, son of Mr. William Caldwell, of Frodsham, conveyan- cer. The Captain has, we are informed, left a wife and five children ( now in Liverpool) to deplore his loss. We have not yet learned whether any of the others who perished have left families. RUSSIAN COMMERCE.— We have received the enpv of an Ukase, published at St. Petersburg!!, confirming trie official notice from the Minister of Finance, for the augmentation of duties on imports. It is as follows : .... " UKASE TO THE DIRECTING SENATE. " Desirous of affording further encouragement to the industry of our faithful subjects engaged in the manufac- ture of cotton and silk goods, and also of encouraging the cultivation of vineyards in the southern provinces of the empire, and the preparation of various sorts of liquors from grapes and various soi ts of fruits, we have thought proper to augment the interior or consumption duty on foreign articles of these descriptions. We add to the ab6ve, a moderate increase of the consumption duty on coffee and sugar, and order that the interior or consumption duty , o. n the said articles be levied at the customary houses, according to thc accompanying register dulv confirmed by us. ( Signed) " ALEXANDER. " Laybach, Feb. 10, 1821." Another Document in regard'to Poland is as fol- lows : , " IMPERIAL UKASE.. ... 4< For the encouragement, of trade at. the fairs at War- saw it was enacted by our Ukase, dated r> d October 1820, a deduction of 10 per cent, should be made from the duties paid at the Customhouse at Warsaw on all foreign ar- ticles transported from the above fairs into the empire of Russia. " Having, by our Ukase of this day, raised the interior or consumption duty on several foreign articles specified in the accompanying Schedule, we order, that instead of 10 per cent, a reduction of 20 per cent, shall be made from those articles at the Customhouse at Warsaw, when trans- ported from the above fairs into the empire of Russia. ( Signed) " ALEXANDER. Laybach, Feb. 10, 1821." himself to circumstances. Tie accordingly, when brought to the bar, pled guilty to the. indictment for horse- steal- ing ; and the libel having been restricted, he was sen- tenced to 14 years transportation. lie very jocosely re- marked to the officers who were conveying, him from the bar, that he would be carried free to a much better coun- try, and get plenty of twopenny grog on the voyage. AJex. Royan was put to the b ir, accuscd- of shop break-* ing and theft, pled guilty, and was sentenced to seven years transportation. David Ross was put to the bar, accused of, on the 30th March", 1820, breaking into, and entering the cottage at Ardross, then occupied by , M. Mackenzie, Esq. of Ard- ross, stealing a number, of articles, and of wilfully setting fire to. the house, by applying a lighted candle to some straw yuder a stairrcase, whereby tho hniise was in danger of being consumed, if the firef had not been extinguished by ( the great exertions of the neighbours. The pannel pleaded not guilty, and his Counsel, Mr. Grant of Rothiemurchus, stated a very- ingenious objection to the evidence ofthe principal wit- ness, Mr. Mackenzie of Ardross, from the circumstance of his having published an advertisement, offering a re- ward of 50 guineas for the apprehension ofthe prisoner, who had effected his escape from the jail of Dingwall.— The learned gentleman argued, that Mr. Mackenzie had! assumed the power ofthe public prosecutor, and had ap- peared in the character of an agent, anxiously interested in the case. After the Advocate Depute, Mr. Menzies, had replied, their Lordships having consulted together for a short time, sustained the objection. The Public Prosecutor having therefore given up the case, the pri- soner was assolized. Donald and Norman Macleod. accused of assault, ple. l guilty ; and were, sentenced to nine months imprisonment in the jail of Inverness. James Baillie, accused of robbery, mnr. ler, and thefts, pled Not Guilty, The thefts libelled were fully proved ; and the Jury, after having been addressed for the crown, and for the pannel. and receiving a distinct charge from the presiding JLudge, returned u verdict of Not Proven as to the murder and robbery, and Guilty ofthe thefts. The prisoner was, after a suitable admo- nition, sentenced to seven years transportation. Geo'rg' Mackay. residing in Nairn, accused of having, on the IGth of Feb. last, been accessary to the murder of John Mackenzie, late farmer at Drum of Clunas, was found Not Guilty. John Fergu'scon, Margaret Greig, and William Deu- chars, accused of theft, pleaded Not Guilty. The Pub- lic Prosecutor having led a clear proof of the thefts, the Jury found them Guilty, and they were sentenced to seven years transportation. The case of David \ ustin, for assault, was then called, and the Court continued sitting till past one o'clock.— Lord Snccoth; we regret to say, had previously retired, from indisposition. The Court met again, at 9. on Sa- turday morning, and proceeded with the trial of Ander- son. and six others, accused of carrying off'the Elgin Baillie. After the examination of four witnesses for the prosecution, the Advocate- Depute gave up the case, and the pannels were found Not Guilty. hi— n. a win » mi*, at » . » ••<.• i, mi- wm** « w. u » , » « » iMiuia » niiiwiritBwtWBtm FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

NAPLES, April 7.— It is regarded as certain, that the King will establish here a Parliament con- sisting of two Chambers ODESSA; March 20.— The Ottoman Porte seems determined to display the greatest energy against the insurrection of Wallachia and Moldavia. The standard of Mahomet, and the most revered insignia ofthe Mussulmen, have been displayed from Saint Sophia, which never happens but when the safety ol the Empire, or the existence of Islamisiu are menaced. Fiftv- thfce Greek families escaped from Constant tinople have arrived here, who state that previous to their departure the Drogoman of tiie Porte having requested leave to resign, had been decapitated, and had been succeeded by one of . the Morouii. Caradja, son of the fugitive llospodar of Wal- lachia, has arrived here. It is said thatthe Archimandrite Gasis, celebrat- ed for his useful works, marches at thc head of the Thessalian Greeks. The wives and children of the Greeks who have taken tip anus have sought refuge at Magnesia, a town of Thessaly. ODESSA, March 21—( From a Commercial I. etter.) — On the arrival here this day of the packet- boat, from Constantinople the following report was circulated : On the mo. rning of the 26th March, a considerable number of Greek vessels with heavy artillery, from all parts ofthe Archipelago, made their appearance in the harbour of Con- tantinople, under the Russian flag. It is affirmed, that there were at least 15.000 armed Greeks in them. Their arrival excited universal agitation, arid the Turkish Go- vernment wished to exercise with respect to them the ri'dit of visitation. Bui Count Stroganofl'. the Russian Mini- ster, threatened to take his departure immediately, if the flag of his nation should not he respected The Grand Signor is said to have immediately sent for the Greek Patriarch, to avail himself of him as a mediator. So stood affairs, it is said, when the packet boat sst sail for Odessa 011 tlie evening of the 20th. JS\> one doubts in this country, of the existence of long prepared plans of insur- rection, extending over all Greece, which is now carried ' into execution. Much blood will probably ho shed in Cons- tantinople. VIENXA, April 11— It is thought that the Con- gress of La'vbach will be prolonged till summer, and that the establishment of order and tranquillity » e- nerally in Europe is the cause of the prolongation. It is possible that the affairs of Spain will not be foreign to the Congress. Spanish couriers have arrived at Laybach with dispatches, and have re- turned with answers to Madrid. The fir st column of Russian troops, consisting of 85.000 nun, will enter Hungary in the course of this week. JASSY, March 19.— Prince Ypsilanti has m. ircli- j eil at the head of a corps d armee. consisting of j 20,000 Arnauts, Moldavians and Greeks, with l.-> 1 pieces of cannon. Prince Scizzo continues the ® warlike preparations with much activity, and the sinew of war, money, is in abundance. MADRID, April 9.— We have received accownts from Barcelona, of which the following appear to us the most authentic :— Considerable commotion having appeared among the people, a Junta assem- bled, composed of all the Authorities, and Com- missioners from all the Corporations, who resolved to transport to Majorca thc following individuals : The Bishop of Barcelona ; Abclla, Vicar General; Llozer, Ex- Inquisitor ; the Guardian of St. Fran- cisco ; Generals Eroles, Saarsfteld, and Fonrnas ; Brigadiers Andiiauiand Campbell; Estrauch, com- manding the regiment of Barbastro, and brother to the Bishop of Vieh ; Bnrtibanibn, and March. Tlie Captain- General ordered, and the Junta sanctioned it, that thev should be embarked for Mnlion. Tho people also desired that the front ofthe citadel which looks towards Barcelona should be demolished, but this was not acceded to CIRCUIT INTELLIGENCE. INVERNESS, April 28.— The Circuit Court of Justiciary . was opened hereon Thursday morning, with the usual solemnities. John Gunn. alias Miniart, having exhausted his in genuity in playing pranks in the confined sphere of a prison, began seriously to think, when an abrupt termi- nation was put to his late roving expedition, of assuming the character of a Ibol no longer, fie was, however, when interrogated by a medical gentleman a few days ago, still undecided, further than a determination tu accommodate The Captain- General requested that the Bishops of Vich, Tortosa, Lerida, and Nigel, and th © Archbishop elect of Tarragona, should be embarked, but nothing was decided. The Cortes have been chiefly occupied with the debate on the law for the regulation of patriotic so- cieties, which was passed. On the 10th, a projet of law was rend for abridg- ing the proceedings in the Courts of Jus Ye, which is judged to be absolutely necesssarv for preventing or punishing the crimes of the ill disposed, who Attempt to subvert the Constitution. Considering NARRATIVE OF TIIE LOSS OF TIIE BARRETT, AND THE SUFFERINGS OF THE CREW. On the 19th December the ship Barrett, of 550 ton-, Capt. Far agar, sailed from St. John's, New Brunswick, ( timber loaded), for Liverpool. While proceeding on her voyage, on Tuesday the 2d January, in lat. 45. N. long. 34. W. at eight p. jr. it came to blow a. dreadful gale from the westward. At two o'clock on Wednesday morning, it being the master's watch on deck, it blew a complete hurricane, accompanied with rain and vivid flashes of lightning ; the ship, through' the violence of the w ind. and driven from her course by the sea " broach- ed to," and lay on her beam ends. Thcv were obliged to cut away tlie topsail sheets, but. every exertion to bring her to or before the wind proved inffectual, and she con- tinued in the trough ofthe sea, the water pouring down the companion, so that every moment they expected she would upset. The two pumps were continually at work, but without effect, the water still gaining upon them by the cabin. In- this state they continued until daylight, when, in order to get her before the wind, the mizen and main masts were cut away. By this time the water had reached the after peak, so that they gave up pumping as being altogether useless. Relieving tackles were put to the tiller, four men to each tackle and two to the wheel, to steer her as much as possible before the wind.. The sea now burst over the vessel with great force, and carried away all the rails of the, poop but a few, to which ropes were lashed ; and to those they clung, to save themselves from being washed overboard ; even the tafrail was wrenched up and washed away. In this condition they continued, until the cabin, being half full of water, and the sea making a clear passage over the deck, they were obliged to go upon the poop, the only part of the Vessel not continually under water. About mid- day the Captain procured from an upper locker in the cabin, a small bag of bread, a jar of rum, ajar of gin, and a half firkin of butter, but these, with the exception ofthe gin, were washed overboard bv the sea. ' The gale now blew with increased violence, and the sea, running mountains high, made a clear passage over the main deck ; broke through the stern and through the bends, part of all, the distance only about two miles and a half A strong current sets in here always from the northward so rapid that, where we lay at anchor, we found by heav- ing the log, that it went at the rate of ( six knots, that is] six miles an hour. As this current runs directly again si the Calabrian shore, which slants towards Messina, it U repelled, and meeting with another current, that come} form the southward through the Bay of Messina, whicli is likewise repelled by the Sicilian shore, these two con- trary currents meeting together off*. the point of the Fare ' from that vortex which I take to be the'Charybdis ofthe ancients. Besides this, there are several other small vortices, and sometimes there is a continued rippling almost from side to side, which is perhaps the reason that Thucydides calls the whole Bay of Messina, Charybdis. The current from the northward sets irialways without intetmission ; but that from the southward may be rathei called a tide, for it seems to ebb and flow at certain times, and the pilots are very careful in observing the proper time for carrying vessels through. Great care must be taken to keep as much as possible in mid- channel ; for if the wind should fail, arid the current drive you over to the Italian side, you have no good anchoring ground to trust to, and therefore are in danger of running among the rocks or upon the sands. The evening We lay there at anchor. I saw a small tartan coming round the point from the southward, which, as it fell calm, was driven at the mercy of the currents, sometimes one way sometimes another, till, after strugg- ling a long time to little or no purpose, at last by the as- sistance of a pilot boat, that boldly rowed over the very top of Charybdis. the vessel was brought to an anchor near the place where we lay. It happened to be a very clear night, with hardly a breath of wind, About 1 1 o'clock tbe rush ing ofthe currents made a great noise, which was in- creased by the echo of tbe surrounding hills, and the pro- found silence that otherwise reigned. As my imagination used formerly to be very much pleased with the descrip- tion of this remarkable place, ( given us by the ancients, especially the poets,) I sat up till it. was very late to enjoy the stillness of the night, and indulge my reflections. ( The conclusion oj Letter 6 in our next.) the urgent necessity of the case, it was propose.! tiv M. Martinez ile la Itosa that the law should he read a third time within four days ; ( hat then a dav for the debate should be fixed. Meantime it might be printed and distributed, and when the discussion was once begun, it ought to be continued without in- terruption till it was concluded. The point beinw judged sufficiently discussed, this was declared to be the second reading. The third reading was fixed for Saturday the 14 th. PRIVATE CORKESPQA7> EXCE.

They have decreed a levy of 500,000 men, and the creation of four armies. A Commission of five Members is to be nominated in order to be joined to the Ministry during the war. As soon as hostilities commence, the Political Chiefs are to have dictatorial power, and all attacks against the Constitution are to be tried bv a Military Commis- sion, the Sentence of which is to be executed with- in 21- hours, with the approval of the Political Chief."

AN, April 9.— Our Gazette of this day con- tains the following official intelligence :— " Count Bubna, Commander- in- Chief in Lom- bardv being informed that the Piedmontese rebels were advancing on N ovarii, to attack that part of the Piedmontese army which remained faithful to the King under the command of General Latour, resolv- ed to march to his assistance. With this view, a bridge of boats was established over the Tesino, near Buffarola, and it was practicable on the 7th at i dit in the evening. The corps under the command " h; s Kxcellencv immediately effected the passage. • e troops posted at Pavia, and at Abbintegrasso, i np. ssed on two bridges, the former towards Gro- ! aud Valieggio, the latter at Vigaevano and i jrtava. As soon as the river was passed the Ge- : » ral published the following proclamation in Ita- ui and French :— •* Piedinontese !— Tlie Imperial and Royal army lias oeen obliged to pass the Tesino, in consequence of the tostile movements of Alessandria. The object of this r.: arch is solely to support the army of your King against . very agression, by repelling force by foice. This con- ict tnust give confidence to those whose fidelity to tl^ ir estimate Sovereign is superior to the vicissitudes of the moni. nt. Recognise then.

I have more than once fought beside you in days uf glory ; our reciprocal esteem asures to us the renewal of such days. " COUNT IS UUN A." " At the Tesino, April 8." The ndvanccd guard under General Bretschnei- der arrived near Novara on Sunday, tlte 8th, at two o'clock, after midnight. His Excellency the Commander- in- Chief arrived in themorning precisely at the moment when the town was violently threat- ened hv the rebels. Part ofthe roval Piednrontese troops were in garrison iti the town of Novara and the rest had taken a position on the right. The Aus- •• tan advanced guard directed its march to the left of ' • ivara.. Atsix inthe morning the enemy debouched ' om Cameriano, on the great road leading to ^ crceil nd iiejran a brisk attack. It was less the effect of • chance than of a sudden determination, adopted in conscotience of the urgency of the circumstances which made Count Bubna arrive at the very nio- mentwhe'ti therebels had commenced their cannonade. The presence of his Excellency electrified the royal . Piedmontese troops, who received him with'accla- mations, which were repeated by the inhabitants of Novara. The battle then commenced. Notwith- standing their long night march, the Duke Czartor- isky regiment ofinfantrv and a battalion of Reuss- pleccen infantry advanced on the heights at the charging step. In a short time the enemy was repulsed from the plain of Novara into which he had advanced, as well as from thp bastions, whence the Piedmontese troops maintained a brisk fire of artillery and musketry.— He halted aoair. behind the Aoromia, aud defended . - ii- liitnselfin that position for some time, until being attacked in front by the Roval Piedmontese troops under General Latour, on the left by the brigade of General Bretschneider, and threatened on the right by detachments from Menken's brigade, he was obliged to abandon that position also, and to retreat precipitately on Verceil, whether he was pursued by the united advanced guards of the Austrians and Piedmontcse. This report was scarcely closed when the intelligence arrived that the combined Austrian and Piedmontese aJvanced guard, which pursued the cnemv on the Vcrccil road, had defeated him wherc- t'ver he attempted to make anv resistance, and had taken 100 prisoners, including seven Ollieers and two pieces of cannon. On our side the trifling loss hitherto ascertained, consisting otilvofone Officer killed, another wounded, and a small number of sol- diers. According to the most recent accounts, Ge- neral Bretschneider has entered Vcrceil. TURIN, April 12 Official letters received yes- terday afternoon. at three o'clock, bv his Excellen- cy the Governor- General, bv an express dispatched yesterday from Genoa, by wayofSavona, by Ma- jor- General D'Isson, bring tlie happy intelligence, that the city and ducy of Genoa have returned to the ancient order. The Secretary of State for the Home depart- ment has just received, bv express, the following official letter, dated Alessandria, April 11 :— " At this moment, half- past one o'clock in the afternoon, a corps of Austrian troops, commanded by General Brotschneider, has entered and taken possession of the city and citadel, in the name of his Majestv our King. It was received at the gates by the Bishop, the Intendant General, and the Cor- poration of the City. No accident has occurred, and the population, who have taken no part in the preceding convulsions, preserve their usual tranquil- lity." ... ' TURIN, April 11.— A Proclamation, to the following effect, has been issued by General Latour, from his head- quarters at \ creed :— " We are informed that certain wicked and perverse persons, enemies to their country, are endeavouring to seduce the royal troops under our command. We shall therefore immediately appoiut a military commission, be- fore which every spy or crimp shall he brought and pro- ceeded against within twenty- four hours, with all the ri- gour of martial law." The following ordinance was published here yes- terday :- — We, Count Vittorio Sallicr do T. atouv Commander. in- Chief, Governor- General of Piedmont, & c. By order of his Royal Highnessthe Dukeofthe Genevese, given in Modena on the 10th of April current, a Court Martial is created, for the purpose of trying the military and other persons who have taken part in the Rebellion carried on in Piedmont in March last. This Military Commission is composed as follows : [ The names of those who com- pose the Commission are then given. 1 Turin, April 13. DE I. ATOUR." FLORENCE, April 10.— Itissaiil here that there have been some disturbances at Naples, and that Sicily has declared itself independent, and determin- ed to adhere to the Constitution adopted under Bri- tish auspices in 1812. The King of Naples sets out on Saturday for Rome. WARSAW, April 5.— Our Gazette contains the following from Moldavia and Wailacliia :— • " Near Galacz the Greeks have taken, from the Turks thirteen merchantmen, and killed part of the Turks on board, and made the rest prisoners ; the bootv is estimated at 100,000 piastres. The. new Greek armv possesses at present only two cannon." Ypsilanti, according to a letter from Bucharest, of the 13th of March, was expected there in six days at the farthest., . The Turks have retired into the fortresses of Rudschuck and Ilbrailow. FOCKSCHANY, March 24— It is not only fully confirmed that the Turkish fortress of Galacz has fallen into the hands of the Greeks, but we also learn that they have taken above 30 Turkish ves- sels on the Danube, and killed all the people on board cxcept 86. . ... ODESSA, March 23.— Capt. Nicolo Cocoli arriv- ed here yesterday, after a vovage of 70 hours, from Constantinople ( bearing the Russian flag), and gives the following accounts ofthe state of things there :. The events in Moldavia and Wallachia were as well known to the people and the Turkish Govern- ment as the arming ofthe Greeks. The confusion was verv great. The houses ofthe Ambassadors, o . .... especially of the Russian, were filled with . fugitives. Prince Caliimachi had already been a victim.— Orders were given for the Turkish fleet to be ready to sail bv the 21st of April, but this seemed impos- sible, as sailors were wanting. An embargo was I laid on Turkish vessels bound to the Black Sea, and orders had been given to visit even the Russian ves- sels that came or sailed ; but the Russian Ambas- sador had opposed this so successfully that it had been possible for many distinguished Greek families to escape to the Black Sea. The Sultan had had a conference of five hours with the Greek Patriarch. The ill success ofthe Turkish arms in Albania was ! likewise known to the people, though the Govern- ment tried to conceal it. A strong American squa- dron is stated to have appeared in the Archi- pelago, and to have taken five Turkish ships of war, two of which are frigates. The cause of these hostilities was stated to be, that the American Anjf^ bassador had not been received. In the Morea all were under arms, and the warlike inhabitants of the Peninsula were formidable both by sea and land. Neither Captain Cocoli, nor the Captaius of two other vessels that arrived after him, ventured to bring any letters, lest they might fall on the way into the hands of the Turks, and the writer at Cons- * r , tantinople be exposed to the greatest danger. The three vessels above mentioned were chiefly filled with fugitives. KRAJOWA, March 28.— Several vessels which left Constantinople on the 20th instant, and arrived at Odessa, on the 22d, brought the Princes Suzzo, Caraggia, Katigerli, and others, who had fled from that city, with the news that the whole capital was in motion, and all the Greeks endeavouring to es- cape by sea. About fifty families had fled to the Sea of Marmora. The hotel of the Russian Minis- ter was crowded with persons who had placed them- selves under his protection. Callimachi, Prince of Wallachia, is said to have been beheaded, because he had not informed the Porte in time of the insur- rection : and Prince Mo. rusi is said to have been ap- pointed in his room. Orders were given to fit out the fleet, but sailors could not be found, though 70 piasters per month were offered. Many Greeks have fallen in a bloody battle near Rudschuek, a town in the Turkish province of Bul- garia, containing 30,000 inhabitants. JASSY, March 12.— The number of the newly enlisted troops with which Prince Ypsilanti set out for the Danube, amounts, according to certain in- telligence, to only 3,000 men ; but it will soon be greatly increased by the reinforcements which arrive from all quarters ; for which every way we turn, vo- lunteers appear und hasten to join him. VIENNA, April 13.— Count Bubna, military Governor of Lombardy, has just been appointed Commander in Chief ofthe army destined to enter Piedmont. A new Congress is spoken of, which is to take place in this capital, at which several Sove- reigns will be present who have not assisted cither at the conferences of Troppau or thoSe of Laybach. The affairs of Moldavia and Walkichia remain in the same state. We are ignorant ofthe effect which that insurrection has produced at Constantinople, especially since the explanations winch the two Im- perial Courts have given on that subject. Mean- while the report i3 current that the famous All Pacha has abjured Islamism and embraced the Greek religion, by which means he expects to engage a great party in his favour, under existing circum- stances. APRIL 11.— It appears certain that a Corps of Observation of 40,000 is about to be sent to the frontiers of Wallachia. The regiments in garrison • . . . . a . ' u ° in Galhcia are marching in that direction. Every- thing announces that our whole army is about to be put on the war footing, and that the Landwehr will lie charged with the interior service. These ex- traordinary measures lead to the presumption, tiiat after the occupation of Piedmont, " there will still j. be another enterprise for the re- establishment of the tranquillity of Europe." It is, they say, from Laybach that the news on which these conjectures are founded are derived. before she sailed a boats crcw belonging to her rose upon the officer, and made thei r escape, vociferating, as the\; passed along, " Liberty for ever." BASH A, Feb. ] 3.—- On the 10th inst. at five in the morning, burst forth in this city, a Revolution - as unexpected as it has been brilliant in its success. As iWPortngal. it was brought about entirely bv the troops ; some feeble efforts were made by the Com- mander in Chief to stop its progress, in whieli Ills own servant, two . of his officers, a soldier, and a Negro lost their lives— the only blood shed on this important occasion. A Junta is formed to govern the Province till the King shall have accepted the Constitution, which is to be that of Portugal, and till its completion the Constitution of Spain is to lie acted upon. , The troops of the line, and militia, in all about 12,000 men, have sworn to the new Constitution, and preparations are making to resist anv force which may be sent against this place, It is probable, however, that no hostile steps will be taken by the Government y. t Rio; the fo'lv of such a proceeding must be too obvious. Pernatiibuco is expected to rise the moment the news of the events which have taken place here shall reach tlicm. A Dutch vessel, which 1 have been this moment informed is on the point of getting under weigh, enables me to give you the above hasty particulars. A direct opportunity will soon be afforded me, when you will receive more detailed information. Business is entirely, at a stand for the present, but tranquillity and confidence will soon be restored; According to* information frotii lluenos Ayrcs, dated January last, a Spaniard, named Rodriguez, was then at the head of the Government ; but great allarthy and confusion prevailed there. much greater number than five millions. For in- stance, the Bulgarians, about 1,800,000, a Sclavonic people, arc partly of the Greek and partly of the Maliomedan religion. The Servians, about 960,000, another Sclavonic people, arc all of the Greek reli- gion. The Bosnians, about 8,> 0,000, are also of , the Greek religion. The Albanians speak Sclavonic and the old Illvrian language, and are partly* of the Greek, and partly ofthe MahomeJan religion.. The Wallachians and Moldavians, 1,230,000, according to Ilassei, but about a million and a half in num- ber, according to Mr. Wilkinson's account, are only Greeks bv religion. Though the Turks form so small a part « ! the population in Europe, thev are very numerous in Asia.. where their chief strength has always, lain.

You will see the administration of the Civil Go- vernment left witiiout any pecuniary means, but what I shall advance, upon my own personal responsibility.— You will see individuals suffering under severe antl un- merited hardships, caused by the want of that constitutional authority that is necessary for the payment of the ex- penses of the Civil Government— You will see the interior improvements of the country nearly a'ta stand — You will see, in short, the Executive Government in a manner palsied and powerless."

LONDON, April 23 CELEBRATION OF TIIE KING'S BIRTIJ- DAY. His Majesty having been pleased to appoint Monday ( St. George's day) for tbe celebration of his birth- day, it was observed with every demonstration of rejoicing, ex- cept that of holding a Court, and the rejoicings connected with it, which were postponed to the Sd of May, in con- sequence of its interfering with the customary adjourn- ment of the two Ilousesof Parliament. The morning of Monday was ushered in with the ringing of bells, which continued occasionally throughout the day. Flags, and the Standard of England, were displayed, and continued flying during the day. At one o'clock the Park and Tower guns fired a double royal salute. The King. gave abajl at Brighton. T « o barrels of strong beer were dis- tributed at the Admiralty to the populace, to drink his Majesty's health. The General Postmen appeared in new uniforms. Eighteen new Mail Coaches and harness were launched from Mr. Vidler's manufactory, in Mill- bank- row. in a most complete and elegant style, drawn by the finest sets of horses possible to be procured. The Coachmen and Guards had all new uniforms, with flowers in their bosoms ; as had also the extra- guards, and the three- penny post- boys. They all assembled at the manu- factory to form the procession. The Mail Coach Con- tractors were also entertained with a handsome cold colla- tion, with a profusion of wines. Previous to the starting of the procession, the coachman, guards, & c. were assem- bled on a grass- plat at the back of the house, where they drank the King's health with four times four in bumpers of Port, and the wheels will) three times three.

BRIGHTON, April 27.— His Majesty, who con- tinues in the most favourable state of ealih, has this w eek walked repeatedly in the enclosures of the Palace. We regret to say, that our beloved Sovereign takes his depar- ture on Monday from Brighton, which has been so long cheered with his presence. The period of his Majesty's return is at present uncertain. THE QUEEN,— Since the late very fine weather has set in, her Majesty has resumed her drives, and daily rides out in her landau, attended by Lord and Lady Hood. On Thursday she came into town to inspect the alterations made in her lawn at the rear of Cambridge House, and yesterday going through the village of Rich- mond, the populace took the horses from her carriage and drew her Majesty through the streets; Lord and Lady Hood and Prince Herculani were also in the carriage. The greatest pnrt of European Turkey is still, in a great measure,, a terra incognita to us, and the information we possess respecting it is neither de- finite nor accurate. Much confusion, for instance, has been occasioned by the loose way in which the word Greek is uied. Sometimes by a Greek is mt& rtt'a . person speaking the Greek language, and at other times a person belonging to the Greek Church. Massel, a German statistical writer in great estimation, makes Turkey in Europe, on the' best and most recent authorities, to contain a popu- lation of nine millions four hundred and eightv- two thousand. Of this population the Turks do not amount to one- third part, and the Greeks alone amount to about five, millions. But then the popu- lation professing the Greek religion amounts to a IRS.

The curiosity of the public to inspect them has perhaps exceed- ed that which took place previous to the last . departure'of Captain Parry. The ships may be said to be entiiely free for the inspection of the public, as both ' Captain Parry and Captain Lyon have • issued positive orders that no decent persons are to be refused admission, and that every facility be afforded them ; for which purpose an officer attends to explain the various parts of the vessels. The methods of stowing the provisions, SEE. has been improved upon since the last voyage, and the in'erstices between each ca^ k, & c. filled up with coals, by which a much greater quantity of filing will be carried. The most ex- tensive assortment of warm clothing is again provided, a? also portable soups, preserved meats of all kinds, and every thing that can be considered as proper for such a perilous undertaking. The ships w ill take on board rn Galleon's Reach, below Woolwich, their guns and ordnance stores, and proceed to the Nore, where the officers and crews will Ue paid part of their wages in advance. ' From thence they proceed direct to Hudson's Bay, where it is confidently expected some account of Lieutenant Franklyn will bo obtained.' as long before this he must have reached the Copper Mine River, and proceeded on'the'coast to the eastward ot it. I lis information will, in a a great measure, decixle the ulterior course of Captain Parry, but who ii, notwithstanding, to examine the Welcome and such other rivers as empty themselves into Hudson's Bay. The officers and crew are' nearly the same as accompanied Captain Parry in his late expedition. NEWGATE AND LEADENTIALL MARKETS, April 27.

On the 4th inst, while a fleet of about 110 English fishing boats, were dredging for ovsters, off St. Martin- le- vieux, about three leagues and a half from the French coast, the French brig of war Lynx came out of Granville, and fired a gun at them, and sent a boat and took possession of one i; f the vessels, and carried her, with the crew, into Granville. It is a question to be decided be- tween tlie Governments, whether English fisher- men have a right to dredge for oysters, at a less EDINBURGH, MAY 1. CELEBRATION OF IIIS MA. TKSTYS BIRTII DAY. Monday being the day appointed for'the celebration of his Majesty's birth day, the Royal standard was hoisted on the Castle in the morning, as was the flag on Nel- son's monument; and the usual demonstrations of loyalty were observed at the Fort at Leitb, on board the Admiral's flag- ship, and the shipping , generally. At one o'clock a feu- de- jnie was fired by the military and volunteers, including the Leith bharp- shooters. The troops were posted in a manner Well calculated to pro. duce effect. We regret exceedingly to add, that the { vo- lunteers, on their way to Prince's Street, were assailed by a mob of idle boys, who pelted and annoyed them in various ways ; and a party ofthe Leith riflemen were also outrageously assaulted on their way home, when a regu- lar encounter took place, and several of the mob were seized. On the way to the George- Street Police Office, todeposite their prisoners, the soldiers were pursued and pelted, which exasperated them to such a degree that a file ofthe military faced about and charged upon the po- pulace, who stood their ground, and incoming in contact with them, the volunteers unfixed bayone s, and cudgelled them with the butt- ends of tluir muskets Mai y were much hurt in the scuffle ; several of the volunteers were, lacerated on the face and hands by blows from stones aud staves, and a rifleman in particular was exceedingly bruis- ed and disfigured. Only about 20 of the miliary main- tained the conflict to the last and succeeded 1: 1 lodging their prisoners in custody. In the whole eight or nine of the mob, who made this attack, were conveyed to the Police Office. The King's Household met in the County Hall, aud proceeded to the Crown Room in the Castle, and inspect, ted the Regalia ; a practice which we understand it to be their intention to continue. SCOTS ADMIRALTY COURT.— This bilj is to be read a third time on the 1st of May.

Wednesday the Presbytery of Edinburgh met, when a letter was read from the Managers of the Presbvteriati Church at Kingston, Upper Canada, requesting the Pres- bytery to send out a clergyman, properly qualified, tolve their Minister. Dr. William Ritchie. Sir Ileury Mou- crieff. and Dr. John Inglis were appointed a Comm. ttee to make a selection, and to report. The parishioners of Ferry- port- on- Craig, in the county of Fife, have presented the Rev. William D. Swan, their - Minister, with an elegant Bible, in testimony of their re- gard for his services both public and private. '< The Methodists are now raising subscriptions to convert the Gypsies to Christianity. We have been running to the ends of the earth to con- vert the Heathen," say they, " while this bodyf which has subsisted among us for 400 years and now amounts to 18,000 souls, has escaped our notice." Tuesday last another desperate affray took place be- tween a party of smugglers and a party of the preventive service, off' Hern Bay, in which the latter were completely repulsed. We are sorry to learn that Lieutenant Snow, R. N. was desperately wounded. WALKING UPON WATER.— A Mr. Kent, of Glasgow, has invented a machine by which he is enabled to walk on the surface ofthe water with . perfect safety.— On Monday morning last, between four and five o'clock, Mr. Kent walked on the Monkland Canal, at the rate of three miles in the hour, which was witnessed by about 200 persons, who all testified their approbation at the per- formance.— Glasgow Courier. We understand, that John M'D upall, late shipbroke in Glasgow, and James Menzies. fish- curer there, havi been indicted to stand trial heft re the High Court of Adini rally on the 9th May next, charged as guil'y of felonious-" ly, sinking a vessel called the Friends in 1816', todefiaud. the underwriters and others • and alsoof abstra- ting goods out of the vessel. John M'Dougall is also indict- d to stand trial on the same day, along with Archibald M Lath • lan, on similar charge s. of abstracting the goods a id sink- ing a vessel called the Mary, in 1820, having a cargo valued at about L. l 4 000. Yesterday a respite during his Majesty's pleasure was received for William Moore, under sentence of death in" the jail of Glasgow, recently convicted of housebreaking, who was recommended to mercy by the jury on account of his youth, being only 15 years of age. On Saturday, Archibald M'Nicoll, cotton- spinncr,' found guilty at the la « t Circuit Court at Glasgow, of at- tempting to murder James, Henderson, and sentence ! to be publicly whipped thiough the town of Johnston, and to be transported, received the former part of his punish-' ment. He received 75 lashes in whole, the same number which each ofthe three men lately received iu Pakl.- y for attempting to assassinate Mr. Orr. M'Nicoll never ut- tered a word while receiving his punishment ; after the first 20 lashes he looked exceedingly pale, and took a drink of water. He was put into a coach and properly escorted back to Paisley jail, where he remains until the remainder of his sentence be carried into execution, wb.' ch is transportation for fourteen years. Very few people went from Paisley ; perhaps not above 100, and it was calculated that there were not 20') strangers in Johnston from all parts. Nearly two troops of dragoons and a party of infantry attended. r ive BIRTHS. In Burton Crescent, London, on the 21st insf. the Lady of Sir James C. Anderson, Bart, of a daughter. At 25.

AS it lias been our misfnrttme for some years to have frequent examples of capital punishment, I would beg leave to point ont, through the medium of your useful Paper, an abuse which I trust the proper Authorities will remedy. When an unfortunate criminal is condemned here, he has the assistance in preparation for lire awful change that awaits him ofthe Chaplain to the Prison, the Rev. Mr. Tuojt. to whose kind attentions ail of tliern bear tes- timony. Should any criminal in such a situation request to have the assistance of another Clergyman, there can be no doubt he would be indulged. lint in this plate, the fcondemned is literally besieged by Clergymen of various persuasions, differing with one another in faith nnd doc- trine, and districting the mind of the unhappy criminal, not unfrequently to the last hour of his life. This appears to me to be a cruel punishment inflicted beyond that which the law has awarded, although I am certain it has been tolerated from very good motives, and a mistaken idea of liberality. I. et it be considered, that disputes concerning certain tenets of Christianity have often taken up a very considerable p- trt of a long life, while a criminal, according even to the humane Law of Scotland, is allow • ed but six weeks to prepare for death. Suppose him, as is too often the case, uninformed, is there time for more than to impress upon his mind, the belief of the existence of an All- wise and Almighty Being, who governs the world; injustice tempered with mercy— that the soul of j man is immortal, and that our condition in a future state | must depend upon our conduct in this— sincere repentance j for crimes being absolutely necessary to those who would j hope fir mercy ?. To inculcate those truths upon the mind, < with the leading doctrines of the New Testament, will occupy much of the time that is allowed, supposing the ' tcacher unwearied in his attentions, and the criminal fully j disposed to receive religious' instruction. Hut that he 1 should be exposed day by day to the intrusions of Zealot . sectarians, and hear them condemning the tenets of one j another, to what can this lead, in an uninformed and agi- , tated mind, but a cruel distraction and uncertainty, in j place of that confidence and tranquillity which, under dif- i forent circumstances, might have been produced ? i ' I have only to add, that the last criminal executed here j • was kept upon the scaffold a much longer time th in ap. j pea red to he necessary ; and I submit these matters to the ' constituted Authorities, in the hope that they may in future . be better ordered. , I am, & c.

In so far tins is well ; bnt the patriotic Spaniards adopted half measures at first, and to these half measures thev must attribute their present . state of insecurity. Is it credible that FultBIMAMD lias not been corre- sponding with tlie allied Sovereigns, protesting against the violence of his subjects, ami the restraint put upon his Reval Will ? Our readers will re- Collect that, before his accession to the Constitu- tion last vcar, he was said to have Sent, by the ad- vice of his Confessor, a formal protest against what- ever act lie iuight do in favour ofthe new order of things to thc. IYeneb King, to be preserved Until a fit opportunity should occur for making the document public ; and the report was considered as highly probable.' But whether true to the letter or not, it is evident, that the interests and views of the - Spanish . Monarch, and many of his Nobles and Clcrgv, arc directly opposed to those ofthe Patriots : and this nfaglit to have beerfseen and provided against from the first ; for it is the extreme of folly to sup- pose, that a free Government can be ingrafted upon the institutions of inveterate despotism. It is 110 doubt a maxim of TACITUS—" that the secret of Jit- ting up a new state consists in retaining the image of the qld ;" but history proves abundantly, that in order to bring about changes beneficial for the people, forms must often be essentially altered, so that nothing shall remain of the vicious ancient regime. The Peasantry of Spain form the great, hope of the country,- for the NOBLESSK are completely debased ; but unless tlitv can conquer irrational prejudices in favour of the divine Right of Kings and an intolerant Bigotry, riteV have little chance of obtaining permanent independence for their country. From Soiith America, there is every reason to expect news'of the final success of the Patriots very speedily. Bv the last accounts, the armistice was nearly at an end. MOHILLO had returned to Europe, and numerous defections had taken place from the Royalist forces, which formed so manv ac- cess'ons of strength to the patriotic cause. The troops that left this country, under General DE- VEREUX, had contributed much to the successes of the Patriots, and thev are deservedly high in their estimation.' Indeed, one proof that the patriotic cause is now considered as nearly gained is, that the Bonds of the Independents, which for some time money was not offered for, are no-. v negociat- mantfested concerning tlie Royal visit to Ireland, which it was confidently said, some time ago, was abandoned for the present. Now, however, it is the report, that n short Bill will be brought into Parliament, to prevent the suppression of the Vice Regal power, in consequence of his Majesty's visit to Ireland. The Irish Attorney General has beeh, officially consulted in the formation of this Bill, which is designed to put an cud to all doubts upon the subject; it is inferred, that there can be 110 longer any doubt that his Majesty will speedily visit Ireland. ed in Lou still, A T NEWCASTLE for PllIL ADELPHIA.

The natural shape of the Common Hat, from its be- ing made on a perfectly round Block, and brought to the Oval Shape of the Head, by the hands and use of the screw, is liable by wear, or when exposed to the damp or rain, to get soft, break, flap in the brim, and return to its natural round form, thus losing its shape by its being artificially produced. WHEREAS, The Improved Opal Shaped Beaver Hat, being Manu- factured and finished upon an Oval Blade, made to the exact shape ofthe head, ( most of which, are fr< in one inch, to one inch and a half oval), tci7/ not lose its shape, not being aitificially produced with the handsand screw, as is the case'with the Common Hat; but manufactured from its first state in the shape required to be worn, nor is its shape liable to be affected by the clamp or rain, so that it is worn without being felt: thereby. preventing those frequent head aches, and unpteasant sensations so often experienced by'wearing the common shaped Hat, on an oval Head, which Medical Gentlemen, of the first eminence, declare must cause an unequal pressure vpon the veins, thereby obstructing the full circulation if the blood, in the vessels of the head, and of ten producing the most serious consequences.

FRANCIS & BROTHERS, Narrow Struct, Litnehouse. THE CHRONICLE. . AIUUWER. Y: SATURDAY, MAY 5, 1821. Nummary of JpoHtica. THERE appears to be no doubt, that a formi- dable attack is about to be made upon Spain, during the present season, by the armies of Austria and Russia. The conferences at Lay bach are to be continued for some months, and some Sovereigns who have not yet attended are expected to assist at the future deliberations. Of the motions of the ail ed armies we have no distinct accounts, but that they are embodied in the field and may within a few weeks be upon the Spanish frontiers, is quite cer- tain. The Spaniards, on their part, are engaged in active preparations for resistance. Thev appear to be conscious, that they have much to apprehend from domestic treason, and, as we briefly mentioned in our fast, several Dignitaries of the Church and General Officers have been arrested, and sent into banishment. An army of five hundred thousand men has been voted, and certain political chief's are to be invested with, dictatorial powers, in case of invasion, particularly toprocecdby martial law against it is true, at a great discount, but tl uit discount is gradually lessening. In the Portuguese part of South America, the Constitu- tion of Spain is also adopteil, and without bloodshed, in so far as we are yet informed, the military taking the lead in tlje revolutionary movements in every instance. These Patriots are in so far fortunate, they are beyond the reach of the Holv Alliance, and may settle their own Government, according to their wishes, without any fear of foreign interfer- ence, and until thev acquire a navy, their close al- liance with the United States will prove highiy ad- vantageous. The news. from Naples are just what we had had to expect, after treachery and cowardice be- trayed the cause of Independence. Proscription is now the order of the day, and an order of Police announces, that an Ex- General,. who having been notoriously guilty of high treason, in the opera- tions conducted by him at Messina, is to be put to Heath tvherevfir tie shall, be met* FERDINAND, weak and vacillating when pretending to act in concert with his patriotic subjects, now manifests all the de- cided cruelty; of a wrak and little mind, when, by foreign auxiliaries, he is enabled to break his most solemn engagements,, and punish as rebels those whom lie , swore to support as good and faithful subjects. The cruelties inflicted on the Neapoli- tans, who fought for the Independence of their country in 1800, are vet fresh in memory, cruelties in which a British Commander deeply . participated, disregarding capitulations and all the compacts that ought to be lie Id sacred by brave men, when en- gaged in honourable warfare. It was then that this King had new laws euacted, in order to bring to the scaffold, those who, according to the known laws ofthe country, wcro not subject to capital punish- ment ; and one of his creatures proposed that the ex- ecutioner, having hitherto been paid by the head, it would be much better to employ him by the year! A nation submitting to such enormities is not to be pitied, but still we do believe that many ofthe Nea- politans are enlightened and brave, and that history will one day- explain the causes that have led to the present shameful subjugation of their country.— General PETE, who would have done his duty, we are happy to find, has safely arrived at Barcelona, and is expected at Madrid, where his presence may be highly useful in the present state of Spanish affairs. The following extract, from the Globe of the SOth April, we give without any comment. The following article, including the observations of the Editor, is copied'from the Times of this day. The in- telligence, as communicated from Paris, we consider one of those speculations, noticed in the papers of that city, daily circulated for the purpose of agitating the public mind and influencing the funds. France could not nu$ vr a passage of an Alls, n" an a° d Russian army through her territories to Spain, Without compromising her own safety. In such etent the French Government would probably stand in need of a foreign force to support itself. By the kindness of a mercantile friend who has tra- velled post from Paris, having left that capital on Friday afternoon, we have received the following intelligence,— We cannot vouch for its correctness ; we ou! y know that it was believed at Paris " ' The CounV cfc hi Ferronaye, French Minister fit the Court of Fetersburgh, has brought to Paris a Treaty which has been concluded at Lay bach for the passage of a Russian and Austrian army through the South of France, to be agreed to by the French. Government. The condi- tions are to be kept secret till the moment of its execution. The King of Spain, it is asserted, has sent a secret emis- sary to Laybach ; and the Sovereigns there entertain the hope, that at the approach of their combined armies, the Spanish army, at least for the greatest part, will embrace the cause of their King, and that by the influence of the Clergy and Nobility, insurrections will burst forth in the provinces'," " For ourselves, though we do not absolutely believe this news, we happen to know as a fact, that great anxiety has been shewn in Pari* to prevent its circulation ; and, as a proof, we may mention, that from a paragraph copied from an A- ugsburgh paper, stating * that the first column ofthe Russian army was destined not only for Italy but for Spain,' tjie French censors struck out the word ' Spain* We also know, that about a fortnight ago the mere ru<* mour of the intention of Russia to attack Spain kept the French Exchange for two ; days in the greatest disquie- tude and alanxvand that the- French Minister took the ut- most* ppinf Ip create the behef that the- Russian artny had received orders to halt.*' Reports have 1> een aft" circulation for some time, that the Coronation of his Majesty will undoubtedly take place this summer, and preparations are certainly going on in Westminster Hall. Whether all that would have rendered the ceremony inexpedient last year be now done away, we do not know ; but take it for granted, that it must now be considered safe and practicable.

Ilis innate modesty, his affectionate disposition to his friends, and his kindness to- all whom; he had it in his power to oblige, will long be remembered by his mourn- ing relatives, and by those who knew his worth. Though he died young, yet if the value of life is to be estimated by the acquisition of important knowledge, by the practice of piety, and by the exercise of the faith which overcomes the world, and disarms death of its terrors, he has left as decisive a testimony as the longest life could have afford- ed, that " Wisdom's ways are ways of pleasantness, and that all her paths are peace."

In him a parent has lost his brightest hopes, and his acquaintances a most amiable friend. At the Annual General County Meeting, held here on the 50th ult. the subject of Mr. KENNEDY'S , Bill, lately brought into Parliament, for altering the mode of chusing Juries in Criminal Cases in Scotland, underwent a full discussion ; and was disapproved of by a " great majority. A Petition against the measure has been accordingly pre- pared, and ordered to be transmitted to the Hon. Captain GORDON, Mearbcr for the County, to be presented to the House of Commons, We were glad to see Mr. DUFF'S Ball, on Tuesday last, so very fully and respectably attended ; and we hesitate not to say, the performance of the Young Ladies and Gentlemen gave universal satisfaction, such as entitles Mr. DUFF to be ranked amongst the first Teachers of this elegant branch of education. The Highland . Heels, in- troduced by Mr. DU. FF, were danced in excellent style, by several of the Young Ladies and Gentlemen in the proper costume, the Plaid and Bonnet, and were receiv- ed with rapturous applause. In the course of the even- ing, the Marquis of IIUNTLY honoured the Ball Room with his presence, and fully testified his approbation, in a manner equally gratifying to the Teacher and Pupils. Some complaints having been made, by passengers at the Ferry Boat between Footdee and Torry, of higher fares being exacicd than heretofore, we are desired, by a Correspondent, to state, that such exactions are altogether unauthorised; as no alteration has been made in the rates, iyhicb indeed can only be done by the Justices of the two Counties : the fare for occasional passengers con- tinues. as formerly— a halfpenny going, and the same iu case of returning. Our Correspondent adds, that he con- eeives it the duty of every one to resist payment of any higher charge ; and to complain to the Justices, in case of' its being exacted ; or of his meeting with any undue detention or had service : By the Regulations too, it seems that no fare is exigible in case of the Boat not setting otf within 5 Minutes after be^ ngcalled for. The Right Hon. the Earl of Aberdeen has been elected President of the Society of Antiquaries of London, for the ensuing year. The Managers ofthe Shipwrecked Seamen's Fund have gratefully to acknowledge the receipt of £ 4 4s. from the Rev.

The Treasurers of the Poor's Hospital and Lunatic Asylum have received from Mr. Carnegie, the sum of Ten Pounds each, for the use of the funds of these insti- tutions, as Donations from John Ross, Esq of Grenada. The Guardians of Henry Lnmsden of Cushnie. have presented , the Reverend WILLIAM MALGOLSI, School- master of Cu bnie, to lie Minister of the united parishes of Lochel and Cosh me, iu the Presbytery of Alford, vacant by the decease ofthe Rev. George Ander- on. The inhabitants of the parish of Tarves, in the Course of la » t winter, contributed upwards of 6 for the purpose of procuring various articles - of clothing, for the destitute individuals and families of that parish. A most daring act of housebreaking and theft was com- mitted in a house in Little Chapel Street, on the morning of the 30th ult. and a very considerable value of property carried off. We understand the depredators are not yet taken, but as the Police are on the alert* we trust they will speedily be apprehended, and brought to punishment. PRICE OF PROVISIONS, See.

In proof of tlie efficacy of cow pen. inoculation, it may be mentioned, thata letter was lately transmitted to this Institution, frofti the National Estab lishment, signed by the mo^ t eminent practitioners iti London, expressing their utmost confidence in Vaccina- tion as a preventive ofthe small pox. and mutuary agree- ing to discourage the inoculation for small pox. The la?£ annual report ofthe National Vaccine Establishment ta the Secretary of State, expresses the unshaken conviction of the Iioard, in favour of universal Vaccination. The following facts, copied from that report, are particularly striking :— Out of 4$, 669 persons inoculated at the in- stitution under the care of Dr. Asllburuev, for these twenty years, only one has been affected with varioloid eruption. At the Foundling Hospital, *• vaccinatioii.. was introduced 19 years ago ; and we are informed by • Stranger, that only two Cases of disease bearing any re- semblance to small pox, have hitherto occurred in the vac- cinated of that Institution. Mr. M'Gregor assures us, that in the great assemblage of sous and daughters of sol- diers who are brought up at the Royal Military Asy- lum, no case, even of the mildest small pox, hasev^ r oc- curred after vaccination. UiWler the immediate direction ofthe National Vaccine Establishment, more than < 50,000* persons have now been vaccinated in London and the vi- cinity ; and ofthis large number, only 5 are reported to have been subsequently affected with small pox ; although positive orders are given at every station to report all such cases as are even suspected. A. EWING. Superintendent of the Vaccine Llsthntio:?, Aberdeen. MONTROSE. May 4. " We have this week the very painful duty of noticing one of the most atrociotis, and, to all appearance, unnatural murders, which are to be found in the annaJs of human depravity. The bloody deed was perpetrated on the night between Friday and Saturday last, on Mr. Henry Shuttle- worth, keeper of the Hope Tavern— a very industrious, and respectable citizen. About three o'clock on Saturday niorniug, the wife of the deceased alarmed # ome of her neighbours, who, on entering the house, fo^ nd the lifeless body lying in the passage at the entry door— the head fractured in a manner too shocking for description, anil immersed in blood. It appeared evident that his deatft had been occasioned by violence ; and concurring circum- stance • tended strongly to attach suspicion to his wife, which, we are sorry to say, ber former conduct rather strengthened than diminished. She was apprehended oa Sunday morning, and lodged in jail. A precognition haa^ since taken place by the procurator fiscal for the county*, before the justices of peace; and she has been recommitted for farther examination by the Sheriff of the county."
