CAPITAL FARMS ON THE BUCHAN COAST, ABERDEENSHIRE. THE SLAINS ESTATE, belonging to Lieut. Colonel GORDON of Cluny. being out of Lease at Whitsunday 1822, lie gives notice, that he is ready to treat for a new term of Nineteen Years ; and, to tenants of capi at and skill, will afford every reasonable encou- ragement in the way of additional Houses and Enclosures, as well as Roads and Drains. The Estate comprehends, in the whole, upwards of Sii Thousand Scotch Acres: aud is divided into Farms of various sizes, from Twenty to Seven Hundred Acres each, including JCirktov'ti of Slains, Seafield, Whiteness, Crawley, Mains, Hid Cfochtnw, Nev? Cloehtoiv, ilgston, Broadnuiir, Jtroadlyhill, Ijrper Nether Brown- hill, Xnapsleasfr, Neth erica sk, Byreleask, - Smidclyhill, Auchnaba, Knapema, Alehfiusehitl, Miltown of Brogan, Upper Brogan, Feu Farm, Miltoilm of Collicston, Cat hill, Mudhole, Midtown, I. ittle Collieston, Iladdo, Miltown of Forvie, I. ittle Forvie, Waterside, $ c. * se. all of which will be let. with entry at the term mentioned, either according to the present, or any other arrangement, that may be preferretl by intending offerers. A great proportion of the Land is ofthe finest quality, and adapted to the successful cultivation of every kind of grain and green crop. It abounds with calcareous sand, which, as a stimulant, has been found so highly valuable; mid in point of situation, its advantages are very rare, liaving the Fishing Village of Collicston near the centre of • the Eatcte, and, immediately at the south west boundary, • lie Shipping Purt of Newburgh, which affords a ready cutlet foVthe produce, and an easy supply of Lime, Coal, end other necessaries. The Property is fourteen miles distant from Aberdeen, and ten from Peterhead ; so that it not only possesses, within itself, the convenience of an an excellent Fish- market, and exhaustless manure, but lies also within a single stage ofthe best grain markets, aud most considerable sea- ports upon the east coast. The Houses and Farm Steadings being all the property of the Heritor, the new tenants will have to receive them, upon dead inventory, without any payment in the way of melioration ; and, as the outgoing tenants are bound, by the existing conditions of lease, to leave one- third part of the arable land in grass, three years old, and a proportion « f the remainder in grass two, and one year old, the entry must be peculiarly favourable. The different Farms, and their present boundaries, • will be pointed out by Alexander Fetch at Cothill, Ground Officer on the Estate; and the Regulations as to cropping, and other particulars, maybe learned by apply- ing to Duncan Davidson, Advocate in Aberdeen, to whom offers may be addressed till the hist day of October next, when the new Setting w ill take place at Collieslon. Of- fers not accepted w ill be concealed, if desired. N. B. There is abundance of Moss of excellent qua- lity. upon the Estate, and it is the Proprietors intention to give off from Fifty to a Huudrtd Crofts, of different tiles, to improving tenants. The Farm cf Miltown of Forvie, consisting of nearly two hundred acres, is already open, and may be entered to immediately. ception, to be afterwards noticed, ie which, until far- ther notice, Horses and Carriages cannot be con- veyed. Postmasters of capital and enterprise, it is understood, propose to run ( in addition to the old Union Coach, between Pettycur and Dundee, the Maggy Lauder coach, between Pettycur and Anstruther, and the two Perth coaches, from Burntisland), one coach from Pettycur to Aberdeen, by Dundee, Montrose, Ar- broath, & c. The Steam- boats will commence to ply regularly be- tween the places before- mentioned upon Thursday, the 31st of May, 1821, as follow, viz. 1st, The boat between Newhaven, Pettycur, and Dy- sart.

M. For Ditto, touching at Ditto, at • half past 1 P. M. FROM PETTYCUR, For Newhaven, touching at Burntisland at ... ... ... ... half past 10 A. M. For Ditto, touching at Ditto, at ... 5 P. M. Large Boats will sail, as usual, according to tide hours, and one Cutterwill be stationed at Pettycur and another at Burntisland to answer expresses. Should the convenience of the public require any al- teration or addition to the above arrangement, the Trus- ses will be glad to adopt such when their Third Boat arrives, which is expected within a month from 1 his date. Passengers by the steam boats ought to be ', t the re- spective piers a quarter of an hour before the time of de- parture, as it is intended that the boats shall sail punc- tually at tlie periods before specified. Post Chaises may be had ready on landing at Pcttycur and Burntisland, signals being previously made in the s: e'tm boat. The communication to Perth is six miles shorter by Burntisland than by ( Jueensferry, and the expence of travelling very much lessened, owing to the great dimi- nution of the length of land conveyance. To the inhabi- tants of Dunfermline, and the adjoining district, the pro- posed communication by Aberdour cannot fail to afford great accommodation ; the distance being two miles shorter than by Q. ueensl'erry, and seven miles of land carriage saved, 2' ettycur, May 25, 1821.

' tis my love— my true true love, Thai sleeps beneath von bank of willow, But never more this head of mine. Can rest in peace upon its pillow. Sweet was the night we two first met, I recollect it was in autumn ; pur parting I shall ne'er forget, 1 said I would not live without him. Oh sweetly smii'd that sunny morn. That lovely morn when last we parted, But night brought me a mournful tale, SIv love had left me broken hearted. He said he would not tarry long. " I'was but to see a friend he left me ; Alas I that friend has prov'd a foe, And has of every joy bereft me. Oh you who know what'tis to lose That very friend whom you held dearest, Come with me, where yon streamlet flows. Where yon sweet fountain bubbles clearest : And down below von willow bank, I'll shew you where my love lies sleeping, I plant his grave with lilies fair. And water then) with constant weeping. 1 A NTIIE. To the EDITOR of the ABERDEEN CHRONICLE. SIR, WE have long been assured of the prosperous state of the country, and some years have now elapsed since Lord CASTLEREAQB complained of the people's ignorant im- patience of taxation, as he said, their distress was altoge- ther transitory, arising from a sudden transition from a slate of war to peace. All who ventured to doubt the correctness of his statements were held to be disaffected, dissatisfied with the happy existing order of things, and desirous of change from selfish and interested modves Time, however, is a great teacher, and facts fully made out admit of no contradiction. In the sixth year of pro found pence, the distress of the eoutnry becomes deeper and deeper still; anil it is agreed that, in the present state of affairs, neither comifieicu nor agriculture can < ro, on. The real state of our commerce may be ascertained from the value of ships. When commerce is profitable, ships are in request and boar a high price ; but at present, they are scarcely to be disposed of at a ty the of their for- mer value. Agriculture is depressed in various degrees, according to local circumstances ; but no person can se- 1 riously pretend lo believe, that in any part ofthe countrv , the present rents can continue to he paid, taxes anil the I price of produce remaining at their present rates. Dur- j ing the last six months, in one county, of Ireland, ( Cork) \ three hundred ejectments for non- payment of rent hate been executed; and the question is, what the Landlords shall do with their Farms after their tenants have been dis- j tiallied ?' Who shall occupy them with ar. y reawi. mfcJejiope of doing better than the former tenants, when the price c. f produce would not enable the farmer to. rear it, had hi neither rent nor taxes to pay ? The Landlords begin now to find tlmt it is lime to look to their interest, if ihey would- not see their estates pass into the hands of Money- jobbers, who gave paper of no intrinsic worth for what constitutes the real wealth. of the empire, Faith< it. is said, must be kept with the national creditor ; and faith ought to be kept with every man, unforeseen misfor- tunes excepted, so that be may. retain what is re.-. Ily his. But is it equitable, that taxes shall year after year be im- posed upon the productive industry ofthe country, and A part of every man's property forcibly taken from him, in- order to keep faith with those who traffic with Ministers in money jobs?.. Ought not these usurious jobbern. be com- pciled to beat their share of the public burthens, or is thu country to be sacrificed to. their, interest?- While the alarm about Revolution, and the dangers of the Throne and the Altar continued, the attempt to convince tlio many by argument, that- the system pursued must lead to. certain ruin, w- ould have been fruitless; but- now that: these alarms have passed away, there is time for cool and dispassionate discussion; when.- we can look back- upon the course we have pursued,- and fairly, estimate the conse- quences of our past conduct. > The time was, when the British nation ' vas the, umpire of Europe, but it was then famed for the . political integrity of its Government, and the physical force it. could wield. Upon some late nego- tiations, Russia, Austria, and FrCssia, were. mentioned as the great powers of " Europe, without once noticing Great Britain or France; and If, as has been reported, these powers were delerred from the immediate execution of their designs, against Spain by'the remonstrances oftho British . . Government, their fear's for the enlargement of NAPOI. EON, in consequence of a change of our Aminis- tration. better account for their conduct, than any thing they had to apprehend from our hostility. • But say tlioso who profit by the present system, what is the Use of bringing these things into view if there be no remedy? In return. I ask, what is the use of concealment, and why should Ihe crew shut their eyes against tlangci when tils vessel is within the breakers upon a lee shore ? PUBLICOLA. Kiniore, May 31, 1821. AGRICULTURAL REPORTS FOR MAY. ENGLAND. The weather has continued variable throughout the month, with sudden alternations of heat ano colJ, which assuredly must have had an ill effect on every species of vegetation to a certain degree ; ami the blossoms of all fruit trees have suifered from the blight; but as they were iti such luxuriant plenty, a sufficiency is said to remain for an abundant crop. Of grass the shew is great, both in the feeding and hay districts. The. same with lucern, clover, aud other grasses. Some clovers, which it was suppos- ed had failed, have lately recovered from the showery weather, and now exhibit a strong plant. lares also are improved, and the potatoe plants are im- proving. The wheats generally appear strong and healthy, and although a month sint; e thev were re- markably backward . upon some, good lands, on others they are at present in the opposite extreme. All the the spring crops have a thriving and luxuriant ap- pearance, and the beans, which were cut by the frosts, now want but the genial warmth of the sua i'ortheir full recovery. The thin set wheats, within the last two or three weeks, have tillered away luxu- riantly. The turnip lands are getting into order. Hops have received some check from the variable and cold weather, but the. bine is generally strong and healthy. In some few districts the hop culture has been discontinued, but it may prove a question- able speculation whether corn will pay better. There has been a start of' a shilling or two in the price of wheat, but weather markets may ho expected at this season, and should the weather prove favourable, at any rate, no rise can be rationally predicted. Mar- kets for both cattle and sheep have been abundantly supplied, and. pork and veal at considerably reduced prices. A Norfolk . Correspondent of the 24 th inst. deeming no farther report necessary, writes '•. the affairs of the farmers are becoming worse every day, and the country is overrun with labourers, for whom' no- employment can be found." . KINCARDINESHIRE. The first week of the month was mild, and every species of crop continued to look well. On the 7th, ' the weather became stormy, and has continued through the month with frequent showers of sleet and hail. There has 1- kewise been strong frosts dur- ing the night ; and hardly a day has passed, since the 20th, but the tops ofthe Grampians have beeri covered with snow. The grain crops seem to have sustained less injury than the grass, particularly the fields which were bare and over pastured, which have assumed a stinted and withered appearance ; and if mild weather do not set in soon, the hav crop will be light. The earlier and more delicate garden vegetablesare considerably injured and the first plant- ed potatoes have suffered severely. Though the weather, during the greater part of the month, has not been favourable to vegetation, we do not exoeet the harvest will be late. Grain of all kinds, plants thick ; and, if no reverse takes place, the wheat will be ill full ear in the course of next month Farm work, of every description, is greatly forward ; and a considerable quantity of Swedish turnips have been sown, but verv few of the other species. Most farmers think the first week in June early enough for the other different varieties. Grain is still 111 limited demand, and prices have not improved during the month. Cattle liave fallen in nrice con- siderably, pasticnlarly two and tbrce- vear- old stots, which are perhaps 20 |> er cent, below the prices of last year at this period. Good cows sell at fair pi- ices, and are in tolerable demand. The stock of fat cattle on hand is considerably greater than the de- mand, and s- ales limited, at a farther reduction. At otir term markets, farm servants have obtained rather better wages, which cannot be weH accounted for : ploughmen, from £ 5 to £ 7, for the summer ; wo- men. from £ l 10a. to 4' 3 10s. ; bovs, from £ 2 to £;!—- all with victuals.

GENERAL ASSEMBLY. QUALIFICATION OF STUDENTS OF DLVLNTTY. The Committee of the General Assembly on the over- ture regarding the qualifications of Students of Divinity met onTuesdav, Principal Baird in the Chair. After a short discussion regarding the course of study previous to that of Divinity, the Committee expressed it as their unanimous opinion that this should embrace a full course of the languages and philosophy, agieeal. ly to the regulations established in the different Universities, dur- ing four sessions, and that mathematics, which at present car, be studied during anyone of these sessions, should, from henceforth, be attended at h ast one session before thc study of natural philosophy, ' it being understood that this change is not to shorten the period allotted iu the dif- ferent Universities for the study of mathematics; and farther, that a diploma should not entitle any student to inrolment for Divinity, unless he can produce certificates Of his attendance on all these courses. On the clause ofthe overture regarding the examina- tion of students heing read, Dr. M- Gill observed, that the design of this examina- tion was not to invest Presbyteries with the power of re- jecting students, but onlv'of remitting tlietn back to that department of their studies in which they were deficient. The benefit,*' arising from such a previous examination Would be, that it would afford students a stimulus to exertion, and bring them under the notice and superin- tendance ofthe differelit Presbyteries. Dr. Lamont observed, that this previous examination was of a nature altogether novel, and seemed to him at first to have implied something arbitrary. But this com- promise now Started appeared much worse than the prtn. ciple. The examination would thus have no effect at all. ' file 1' resbvterv were not to possess the power of rejec- tion ; so that ' whatever might be their opinion of the stupidity or ignorance of a student, they were to have no power to pronounce him disqualified. Dr. M Gill explained. What he meant was, that the Presbyteries were not to have a power of rejecting the^ student altogether, but only to send him back to such of the classes in the departments of which he seemed to be deficient. It was cxttemcly po- sible I'or a young man to pass through all the classes, and yet he extremely igno- rant. lie had hail a great many under him who could tiot compose a word ; aud. in various of the exercises given io. there was often a great deal of bad spelling as well as bad grammar. The consciousness of being oblig- ed to undergo an examination would urge the students to prepare themselves, and, by bringing them under the . superintendence of the Clergv in their bounds, an es- sential sei vice would be rendered to them, as he had heard voting men often complain of not being able to get introduction to Clergymen. Dr. Nicol! was of opinion, that, an examination, with- out the power of rejection, would be highly advan- tageous. The Committee next proceeded to discuss the clause ofthe overture regarding ^- regularattendance. Dr. M- Gill observed, that he was most anxious that the six vcars irregular attendance should he abolished. This would not be attended with such injury to tutors as had been insisted on. He found that the greatest proportion of tutors were among those who attended regularly.— Much less would they have cause to complain if this re- gular attendance was confined to two years. This ar- rangement would have the most beneficial influence in preparing students for their profession. Much improve meilt, he allowed, might be derived fiom private study; but, the irregular students had few opportunities for this, being, for the most part, at a great distance from the means of improvement. lie remembered of a student from the Highlands, who told him he could get no book of divinitv to read, except Flavel. Dr. Macknight thought that the appointing of two years' regular attendance would be a great improvement of the present mode. Dr. Chalmers said, that his own private opinion was, that no less than three years' regular attendance was ne- cessary; but, in order to make the proposition nioie palatable to the Assembly, he would not iusist on more than two years. After some farther discussion, three different courses of attendance was proposed : First. 1 regular year, and 5 irregular. Second, st regular, and 3 irregular. Third, regular, and 1 irregular. At the suggestion, however, of Dr. Lament, the Com. mittce, in consideration of thc great importance of this part of the overture, resolved privately to consult their brethren in the Church, which of these propositions they might judge to be the most expedient, before they form cd anv distinct overture upon the subject, for the next Assembly. The Committee next came to the following resolution That a student, before he obtained a licence, should be recommended in writing ( instead of verbally, as at pre- sent) by a Minister, who shall declare that he thinks him fit to be taken on trial. The Committee also acceded to the clause regarding the attendance of students on Church History and He- brew, confining it to the period of regular attendance on Divinity, not exceeding two years. The Committee then separated. ^ ' STIRLINGSHIRE POLITICS. We mentioned, in our last, that Mr. Home Drummond had been elected, by a majority of' five, as member of Parliament for the County of Stirling. The unnatural coalition of Whig and Melville in- terests, by which this has been accomplished, should not pass unnoticed. Mr. Drummond's opponent was Sir Archibald Edmonstone, the son of the late member, a young man avowedly of Tory principles, supported bv the Duke of Montrose. Mr. Drum- mond, who has not an acre of land in Stirlingshire, was put forward bv the Melville party, under the specious pretext of freeing the County from the thraldom of the Noble Duke, but truly in order to secure for themselves a more perfect command of Scotch patronage. This is just an example ofthe policy ofthe Melville faction. It is patronage only of . which they are ambitious ; being, as we consider them enemies alike to thc liberties ofthe people, and the power of the ancient aristocracy of the country. Thev rely for support upon the most corrupt arid venial portion of society, and nothing short of abso- lute dependence will, satisfy them. In the present instance Sir Archibald Edmonstone would have been, we presume, a steady supporter of Ministers ; but this would not satisfy the party, and they ac- • cordimdy opposed to him a gentleman of tried tlevo- • tion to the peculiar views and practices of their own faction. We do not wonder that they should have done this ; but we grieve that they should have' prevailed with the Whigs to assist them in the ac- complishment of their views. Had the Whigs con- sulted their own true dignity, they would have no- minated a candidate of independent principles ; and, bad their enemies continued divided, they must have been successful. If they found it impossible to place in the House a real representative ofthe people, tfiev ought at least not to have assisted in sending a man whose whole public life has been marked by a peculiar want of sympathy with tfie public rights of his countrymen,. » whieh are so indispensable to their welfare and happiness. Mr. D. long held the office of Deputy Advocate, and his most distinguished appearance in that character can never be forgotten. We allude to the trial of Mackinlay in 1817. When . the conduct of the Depute Advocate, chiefly im- plicated in that extraordinary transaction, was men- tioned in the House of Commons, by Lord Archi- bald Hamilton, it was- loudly deprecated by all sides of the House. What must the people then think of the consistency of the Whigs, when they find them, from motives of loeal jealousy, contributing to semi oTie who has- made such public appearances . into. Parliament? What is chiefly to be regretted in this success of Mr Drumtnond, is the circtim- • j tenet that it may shake the public opinion of thc sincerity of tlie WliigS. In tliis view it is regarded by tlie malignant enemies both of the Whigs and the people. It was gall and wormwood to them, to see the confidence with which the increased activity and patriotism of the Wings began to inspire the li- beral of all parties. Hence they are delighted to have entrapped a respectable ntirhbcr of Whigs intoa mea- sure which thev know must shake the strength of the party. The onlv true foundations of Whig power are i the esteem and confidence of the people. These are ' to be attained by frank, manlv, and consistent opposi- tion to the enemies of liberty. There must lie no half measures— no sacrifice of principle, even to at- tain a prospective advantage to the sacred cause.— The end will not justify such means. The people judge from what they see. They know thatevil communications corrupt good manners," and they never will be brought to repose confidence in men whom they find ready to join for the promotion of private interests, with their deadliest foes. e might add a wqrd upon tlie conduct of some persons in this election, who have been for years tlie greedy and well paid dependants of the Duke of Montrose, but who took this opportunity of enlisting into the still more profitable service of the Melville party.— But this would do no good ; nothing we could say would increase the contempt of those who do know them, and they are too insignificant to be obtruded on the attention of those who are more fortunate in their acquaintances.— Scotsman. AUSTRIAN LOANS. The papers moved for some time since bv Mr. Robert Smith, respecting the Austrian loans, have been printed by order of the House ofCommoYis.— Thev arc exceedingly curious. They ' skew conclu- sively that his Imperial Majesty, Francis, is quite j as much a bankrupt in principle as in money. In one respect, indeed, he deserves the praise of since- rity. He has not attempted to shuflle, or to evade payment' of the debt, by alleging his inability to make good his engagements. Such subterfuges would not have suited the dignity of the Austrian monarch; who at the same time that he admits the justice of our claim, contents himself with flatly re- fusing to refund one shilling, or even to answer our memoiials on the subject! The Ilolv Leaguer is quite of Hob Roy's opinion. He accounts it just and honourable That they should take who have the power, And they should keep who can. We hope this will be a lesson to John Built and teach him to be a little cautious how he treats with these sort of gentry in- future. The loans, as origin* Jly made to Austria in 1795 and 1797, amounted to From ti. nt moment the war censed— from that moment the States, which revolution had assailed, became the friendly States of those Powers Which never wished any tiling but their tranquillity and their prosperity: In the midst of these grave occurrences, and in a situa- tion thUs delicate, the Allied Sovereigns, in concert with the King of the Two Sicilies and the King of Sardinia, have judged it indispensable to adopt temporary measures of precaution, indicated by prudence, and called f » rby the general good. The allied troops, whose presence was necessary for the restoration of order, have been placed' in suitable positions, solely for the purpose of protecting the free exercise of legitimate authority, and to assist it in preparing, uvder this a; gis, those benefits which may efface every vestige of, such portentous misfortunes. The justice'and disinterestedness which have prevailed in the deliberations of the Allied Monarch's, will always continue to regulate their policy. In future, as during tin past, they " ill ever prescribe to themselves the pre- servation of the independence and of the rights of each State, such as they are recognised and defined by existing Treaties. The issue, even of such an alarming crisis, will, under the aupices of Providence, become the con. solidation of that peace which the enemies of the- people attempted to destroy, and the stability of an order of things, which will secure to nations their repose and prosperity. Filled with these sentiments, the Allied Sovereigns, in terminating the Conferences at Laybach, have wished to announce to the world the principles by which they have been animated. They are determined never to aban- don them; and all the friends of order will constantly see and find in their union, a sure safeguard against the enter- prises of anarchy. It is for this purpose that their Imperial and Royal Majesties have ordered their Ministers Plenipotentiary to sign and publish the present Declaration.

( Signed) NESSELUODE. | Laybach. 28th of A pril ( I Oi. h of May 1821.) j It is asserted, that Austria also expedited, on the i same day, a circular of similar tenor to all its di- 1 plomatic agents at foreign Courts. £ 6,220,000, Oil which, •€ 9,914,527 of dividends have since been paid, making the total debt now due by his Imperial Majesty £ 16,134,527 ; a sum more than equal to the net revenue of Scotland for the last four years, and which would suffice to de- liver the landlords and tenants of England and Wales from the intolerable burden of poor's rates for a couple of vears to come. Such is the extent of the sacrifice made by the profusion and culpable extra- vagance of our own Government to the rapacity and bad faith of that of Austria ! It was formerly stated, bv the Treasury press, that although the Austrian Government was not in a condition to make payment of the debt due to us in cash, the forests of Dalmatia were at our service, and that our arsenals were in future to be supplied with timber brought exclusively from the Adriatic! Wc stated, at the tune, that this would turn out to be a mere hoax, and so it has. It is proved, bv the official documents referred to, that Austria has distinctly and positively refused to allow us to take a single stick from Dalmatia, without its being paid for in ready money ! After all, however, it must he confessed, that this is no great loss. Though Aus- tria had owed us nothing, and complimented us with her timber, it would have proved a very dear bar- gain. This mav at first sight appear somewhat pa- radoxical ; but it can do so to those only who are not aware of the undoubted fact, that the cxcci. t of the freight of a cargo of timber from Trieste to Eng- land, over that of one from Mewel, is considerably more than the prime- cost of the timber in the latter port. This, we should suppose, will satisfy John Bull, that he must look elsewhere than to the forests of Dalmatia for payment of the Austrian debt.— Scotsman. STATE PAPERS. IJnipmai parliament. HOUSE OF LORDS. Monday, May 28. Previous to four o'clock, there was a Royal Commis- sion to give assent to several public and private acts. The Lord Chancellor, Earl Shaftesbury, and the Duke of Montrose, were the Commissioners. Seventy- four bills received the Royal assent. "" The following were the pub- lic ones : The Scotch revenue bill, the timber duties bill, the English and Irish militia pay bill, the Court of Ses- sion regulation bill, the steam engines bill, the poor settle- ment bill, the bankrupt laws amendment bill, the Irish public notaries bill, the Scotch Admiralty Court bill, the Irish Lunatic Asylum bill, the Holyhead road bill, and others. violent revolution, should add that of sanctioning its fatal consequences. Si'. ce that period, and from the date of the opening of the conferences at Troppau and- Laybach, our successive communications must have demonstrated to all the Minis- ters and Agents of the Emperor at foreign Courts, not only that the principles, of his Imperial Majesty would not vary, but further, that our august master would be always ready to concur, by all the means in his power, in the success of the measures which he had agreed upon with his Allies, in the general interest for the repose of Europe. I> y our Circular of the 27th of Feb. ( I ltli March), We informed you that, in consequence of the determinations entered into upon this point by his Imperial Majesty, he had decided to prolong his stay nea^ j his Imperial. and Royal Apostolic Majesty, notwithstanding the close of the Congress at Laybach. Our dispatches of the 8th ( 20th) March, very soon shewed to you that the foresight of the Emperor had been but too completely justified, and that, faithful to his pro- mises, Russia, at the request of Austria, and the legiti- mate Sovereign of the kingdom of Sardinia, had marched an army of 100.000 men, in order to avert the calamitous and too probable effects of the- military revolt which had just broken out in Piedmont. Auspicious events have succeeded those which the artifi- cers of troubles and of discord provoked. Everything authorises us to hope that Order will be effectually re- established in the States of his Sardinian Majesty. The Royal Government there has availed itself of the proximity of the Lombardo- Venetian kingdom ; and it is the tempo- rary assistance of a eorps of occupation, composed of Austiian troops, which it has required to restore to Pied- HOUSE OF COMMONS. Monday, May 28. AGRICULTURAL HORSE TAX. Mr CU II WEN* gave notice that he should move for the repeal of the agricultural horse tax on Wednesday next, lie wished to know when the budget was likely to he brought forward. Mr. ARBUTIINOT. in. the absence ofthe Chancellor ofthe Exchequer, could only say that lie'believed Friday next was the day appointed. Mr. HUME said, that the annual accounts were not yet in the hands of members, and the budget could not be discussed as early as Friday. Mr. A RIJUTH NOT replied, that thc accounts bad been presented within the time required; if they were not yet printed they should be expedited as much as possible. Mr. CURWKN wished that some other day should be named. Mr. ARBUTHNOT could not alter the day in the absence of the Chancellor of the Exchequer. Mr. HUME presented a petition from an individual of the name of Wilkinson, complaining of the expensive mode adopted to collect the taxes, the collection amount- ed to L 4,000,000 a- year. The petitioner recommended the adoption of direct instead of indirect taxation, and the imposition ofthe property tax. The Honourable Member thought this subject well worthy of the consideration of the Ilouse. THE BUDGET. Mr. CUIIWEN, perceiving the Chancellor of the Ex- chequer in his place, wished to know whether lie would persevere in bringing forward fhe budget on * Friday-, the mont. the enjoyment ofan internal, secure, and solid peace. AM our wishes seek this great and salutary result; but as toe measure of safety which it requires, and which the Sardinian Government itself lias solicited, is about to be- come the object of a direct arrangement between Sardinia and Austria, under the guarantee of the Allied Courts; and as the presence of our troops Would be henceforth useless, the order to retrograde has already been dispatch- ed to them. On the other hand, the more Hie resolution to make them operative as energetic, the more salutary and useful has been the impression produced solely by the intelligence that they were in movement, and the more essential is it in the eyes of the Emperor that all the Ca- binets of Europe should know and appreciate the serious LAYBACIJ, May VZ.— At thc moment when the Congress separated, the following document was published in the name of the Courts of Austria, Prussia, and Russia :— DECLARATION. Europe is acquainted with. the. motives of the Resolution taken by the Allied Sovereigns to suppress conspiracies, and to terminate disorders which menaced the existence of that general peace, the establishment of which had cost so many efforts and so many sacrifices. At the very moment when their generous objects were accomplished in the kingdom of• Naples, a rebellion of a still more odious character, if possible, burst forth in Piedmont. Neither the ties which had, for so many generations, united the reigning House of Savoy with' the people, nor the benefits of an enlightened Government, administered by a wise Prince, and under paternal laws, nor the sad prospect of calamities to which the country was exposed, could restrain the disaffected from their designs. The plan of a general subversion was prepared. In this combination against the tepose of nations, the con- spirators of Piedmont had their part assigned them. They were eager to perform it. The Throne and the Suite were betrayed— oaths were violated— military honour tarnished— and the contempt of every . duty soon produced the scourge of every disorder. Everywhere the pestilence exhibited the same character : everywhere one uniform spirit directed these fatal revo- lutions. Not being able to assign plausible motives in their justi- fication, nor to obtain national support to maintain them, it was in false doctrines that these contrivers of anarcbv sought an apology: they founded, upon criminal associa- tions, a still morecriminal hope. In their eyes, the salutary supremacy of the laws was a yoke which must be destroyed. They renounced those sentiments which are inspired by a true love of one's country, and substituting for known duties, arbitrary and undefined pretences for a universal change in the constituent principles of society, they pre- pared endless disasters for the world. The Allied Sovereigns saw the dangers of this conspiracy in all their full extent, but they had also discovered the real weakness of the conspirators, in spite of their veil of declamation and deceit. Experience has verified their anticipations. The resistance which legitimate authority has encountered, has been useless, and crime has disap- peared at the sight of the sword of justice. It is not to accidental causes— it is not even to the con- duct of men, who behaved so ill in the hour of battle— that this easy success should be attributed. It has re- sulted from a more consolatory principle ; from one more worthy of attention. Providence struck, with terror, the consciences of men so guilty ; and the censure ofthe public, whose fate was compromised by these artificers of mischief, caused the arms to fall from their hands. Solely employed to contend with, and to put down, rebellion, the Allied forces, far from pursuing any ex- clusive interests, h^ ve arrived to the aid of the people who were subjugated, and the people themselves have regarded the employment of those troops as a support in favour of tlieir liberty, not as an aggression upon their independence. recourse to arms, and the noble and pure intentions which would always have directed the employment of them. The experience of all ages and countries warns nations ofthe calamities which form the inevitable train of crime and rebellion. But last year, these great and eternal lessons were contemned. Catastrophes s iccieJed each other with an appalling rapidity. Naples demonstrably evinced the dangers of pernicious example. Become, herself, the theatre of revolution, and the centre of fhe activity of sects, this State menaced Italy with a general conflagration ; and Austria, seeinga portion of her provinces exposed to imminent peril, claimed, in thc first place, tlie moral sup- port of her allies. The sincere friend of his Imperial, Royal, and Apostolic Majesty, and convinced, like that august Monarch, of the evils which would once more inundate the world, if the disregard of all duties- should obtain the apology of ar lasting triumph, the'Emperor espoused, with sincerity, a cau- e which his conscience told him was that of Europe, of laws, and of treaties. He did more. As an intimate union has b-' en established, by solemn acts, between the European Powers, the Emperor offered to his allies the aid of his arms, in case new com- motions should excite the" dread of new dangers. We have already seen how the anticipations of his Imperial Majesty have been verified. Sectarians acting in the dark- ness, which they so much needed to veil their guilty pro- jects, excited iu Piedmont an insurrection, which might, by its consequences, retard the progress of good in . the Two Sicilies, and, by compromising the army, which was then advancing upon Naples, encourage revolt throughout accounts not being before the House. At ail events, he hoped he might be allowed to bring forward the agricul- tural horse tax before the budget was proposed for con- sideration. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER re- plied, that, he saw yo reason why the budget could not be considered on Friday. lie wished the proposed discus- sion on the agricultural horse tax to follow that of the budget.—( A laugh). Mr. CA LCRA FT submitted whether it could be con- sidered that the House would be prepared to discuss the contents of a bulky volume of figures on Friday, when that volume was not yet in the- hands of Members. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER re- plied that he expected the papers would1 be ready to- mor- row, and he saw no reason why they should not be con- sidered on Friday. Mr. CUR WEN then postponed his motion respecting the agricultural horse tax till Friday. POOR . RELIEF BILL. Mr. SCARLETT moved the commitment of the poor relief bill, to submit some clauses, pro forma. Mr. MANSFIELD hoped that the bill would not be pressed forward . this sfr& ion. " There was in the country a very general feeling against, it! Mr. SC A RLETT replied that his information was of a different character. Mr. C A LCRA FT gave notice that when the bill next came forward'he should take the sense of the House as to the principle of the measure. He should not trouble the House with details, as he was against its principle. . The amendments were agreed to, and the bill ordered to be taken into further consideration on Monday next. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER mov- ed, that the House at its rising do adjourn till Wednesday next. SUPPLY. The House then went into a Committee of Supply. Mr. ARBUTHNOT proposed a resolution for grant- ing L. 280 000 for defraying the expences of the Civil Government, not contained in the Civil List. Mr. G. BENNETsaid, he should object to this Re- solution, unless the sums included in the grant were spe- cifically accounted for. There was one item, which, if the country were polled from one . end to. the- other, he believed would be indignantly rejected. He - alluded to ed disquietude for other countries ; and from that moment the Russian troops were bound to march. They, in fact, did- march, not to extend the power of Russia, or to make the slightest infringement upon the bounds of territorial possession, guaranteed to all the Governments of Europe, by the treaties concluded since 1814 ; but to succour the Allies of the Emperor ; and this, as we have said above, at the express solicitations of his Imperial, Royal and Apostolic Majesty, and of his Royal Highness the Duke de Genevois. They marchjd, not to overthrow institu- tions which have emanated from legitimate authority, but to prevent insurrection from usurping a power which would be a universal scourge. Finally, they marched, not to obstruct the development of public prosperity, in any State whatever, but to further the re- establishment of order in countries where the workings of evil men had ultimately rendered the assistance of a foreign force indispensable. Such has been, such will always be, the sole intention of the Emperor, should he ever find himself again under the necessity of putting his armies in motion. No burden would have resulted from their march, or from their tem- porary presence. They- would have traversed peaceably the immense space which separated them from Italy ; and the. sum of. L. 45,000 for defraying expenses - incurred in the late prosecution of her Majesty. He believed in his conscience that, except the persons who were the prose- cutors of the Queen, and those immediately connected with them, there was not an individual in the country who did not believe the whole of that proceeding to be the most ill- advised; injudicious, and infamous measure that had ever disgraced the country. It was such that the ex- pense was a trifle, compared with the lasting dishonour which had fallen upon the country, in consequence of the nauseous, disgusting, and degrading evidence which was brought forward on that occasion. Stiil it was monstrous that the country should be called upon to pay a sum of L. 4.3,000 to defray the expenses of that proceeding. Why should not the expenses be paid out of the funds belong- ing to the Crown ? A Noble Lord had talked of the Duke of Cornwall being the " prosecutor, and why should not the Dnke of Cornwall pay the expences ? For his part he thought the Crown revenues ought to be mortgagtd for J that purpose. The. House ought, in his opinion, to pro- j ceed as their ancestors had done after the Revolution, when they brought to signal shame',- though not to punish- ment, the conductors of the infamous- prosecutions in the as soon as the object was attained, for which two Monarchs solicited their aid, the Emperor would have issued his orders for them to return to their country. We are justified, therefore, in repeating and affirming, that never did the love of war. never the ambitious thought of exercising an exclusive influence in the Councils of other MonaiCjhs, or upon the destinies of people confided by Providence to their care, direct the policy of his Imperial Majesty. time of King James. To his Majesty's Ministers belong- ed the disgrace of instituting these proceedings, and their property would be justly condemned to pay the expenses of tlie trial. There was another sum of L. 4000 or L. 5000 besides the I,. 43,000 ; so that the people of England were called upon to pay a sum of nearly L. 50,000 to de- fray, the expences of a proceeding, which they had intreat- ed Parliament not to institute, and which inflicted a last- ing wound upon the morals and character of the country. If he had known that part of the L, 500,000 which was vo'ed last year was to be applied to so detestable a pur- pose, he would. have died rather than have consented to it. There was, ' besides, no security from the present vote, that something of the same kind would not he brought forward hereafter ; and upon every ground, therefore, he should oppose the present resolution. The CHANCELLOR pfthe EXCHEQUER ob- Irrefragable facts now attest the sincerity of this language. Malevolence ascribed to Russia hostile views with re- g. ovti_ 4o the Porte. Disturbances manifested themselves VVallachia and Moldavia ; and our conduct, as well as our declarations, have shewn that we are determined to observe the rights of nations and the faith of treaties, in our relations with the Turkish Government. served that his Majesty's Ministers were responsible f< » jr the application ofthe sums voted by the House, and if it appeared that such sums had been misapplied, they could be proceeded against ih a constitutional way. He ani- madverted upon the want of temper evinced by the Hon; Member who had last addressed the Committee. Mr. HUM 10 said that his Hon. Friend had not evinced a Want of temper, but had remarked upon the Item whkdi called forth observations with great temper and modera- tion.—-( A laugh).- He then observed, that, the Rigfoi Hon.

Mr. IIUME observed, that he would content himself with saying that he heard the words, though he would not say he heard them there ; they were spoken in lira face of a respectable assembly.— ( A laugh.)— He WM afraid he might not be allowed to use such an epithet ; but, however, it was in ah assembly, and he wished the fame of that assembly stood fairer with thc country than it now did. lie thought his Hon, 1' iiend ( Air. JJeuitust) had been too mild and moderate. In his opinion, the English language wanted words to designate properly such a transaction. He repeated that it wa's a blot on the his- tory of the country. As an Englishman he wished that it could be forgotten ; but it never could. Government had believed that they were exercising Iheir cruelty andt oppression against an unprotected female, but they were really mistaken. The generous aud brave people of Eng- land protected her, and the tyranny and oppression ofthe Government were defeated.—( Hear, hear I)— ICit was noble iu the people to have acted as they had done in this instance, it was proportionally disgraceful to those who give occasion to the display of so manly and gallant » spirit; the same spirit would always manifest itself under similar circumstances, and for himself he would never agree to vote one penny for defraying the expenses of such cruel and tyrannical conduct. The Ilou. Member then proceeded to comment upon the other items in the resolution. The House divided — For thc amendment, 77— Against it, lot;— Majority, 29. A motion to reduce the grant on account ofthe Bar- rack Department from I,. 137,000 to L. 59,500 was nega- tived by a majority of 55 to 2D. Wednesday, May 80. The Grampound disfranchisement bill was again dis- cussed, when the amendments of the Lords, giving th right of electing two additional Knights of the shire to th. county of York was agreed to. . CONSTITUTIONAL ASSOCIATION. Mi. BROUGHAM rose to call - the attention of the House to the formation and purposes of this Association. He might have been content with having formerly drawn their attention to it, but that the alarm which he then felt had been greatly augmented at seeing the avowed objects of the Association put forth in a letter which ! H- then held in his hand. It purported to be a copy of « circular which this society, unknown to the Constitution— this self- constituted association of public prosecutors, had forwarded— to whom did the Ilouse think? To the Ma- gistrates of the United Kingdom ! The Bridge Street Committee, as if known and recognised by tlie inws anil institutions, had issued this their circular to expound unto the Magistracy the law as it ought to be administered in matters of libel— a digest of libel law issued by the Con- stitutional Association for the guidance ofthe Magistrates of England ! This might tie reckoned foolish, imperti- nent, and meddling only, but for what followed. Now. he was ready to admit that it was legal in particular cases of crime I'or two or more persons to prepare a bill of < 11 dictment with a view to the punishment of it; tlvat w^- legal and might be expedient, or even laudable ; Iwit t. . character of the transaction was entirely altered wl. t done by a large body, upon a system of prosecutions having a large fund to back them. Societies previ - usl, formed might lind it necessary incidentally to proseeuie. and to that there could he no objection ; hut a system or prosecutions only, which went to c- H'rv into effect thc office of the Attorney- General liy commission, was an evil new and insufferable. He denied the legality of such an association ; he more strongly denied the ie.> ali'. y of the steps which had been taken by it. flic paper in his hand was signed by J. B. Sharpe, Honorary Assistant Secretary to the Constitutional Association, G. Bridge Street, Blackfriars. It ran thus:—" Sir,"—,' this being addressed to the Magistrates of the kingdom)— t( I aui directed bv the Committee of the Constitutional Associa- tion"—( whom the Magistrates are therefore bound to know ; the Committee is talked of as a Secretary of State, or the King, or any of his officers might be)—'* to for- ward you the inclosed exposition of the taw of libel. The- Committee have found it necessary to institute various prosecutions for seditious and blasphemous libels son: * of which have been abandoned on thc parties expressing their contrition." Their contrition I In God's name, i whom? To J.^ B. Sharpe and the Bridge Street Co mittee ! ! The Committee entering into an agreetm to sufl'er a noli pro srqui, " on condition of the part . . surrendering, on oath, the entire stock of their seditLu and disloyal papers, and engaging not to embark i thi same business again." Was there ever such au instance of men combining, confederating, and conspiring in the face of clay, against all and sundry the venders of" politi- cal writings, to carry on prosecutions against tli n, hack- ed by a system supported by a common fund, aud threat- ening to ruin all those who were to be judged olleoders without process of law, or the decision of the tribunals, except, forsooth, they expressed their contrition to J. 13. Sharpe and the Bridge Street Committee, and under- took an oath to surrender all their property, and trot en- gage in that line of business! If there were anv ofthe associators present, he wished to know by what authority the oath was administered iu any case? In this country, where there was still left a regular Government, where there was a Secretary of Stale not backward in exercising the powers of his office— not slow in expounding the law to the Magistrates— being assisted, likewise, by able, learned and responsible law officers ; in a country so pro- vided with all means for the detection and punishment of oil ences against the Government, to see an association " r> on from subscribing to promulgating the Jaws, and from that to prosecution, except the offenders undertook to give up their whole stock, to whom lie did not know, on oath . to betaken, before whom no one could tell! To prevent mistakes, the association exhibited this gloss of theirs on the law of libel, which had, they said, been de- livered to every shopkeeper against w hom charges were likely to lie. Many of them had given up the sale of such works, and in no case had the Society proceeded to prosecute until a few days after the delivery of thc circu- lar. The Society went to say that the receipt of this paper of theirs might he pleaded in aggravation of pu- nishment, in case the party prosecuted should have pro- ceeded in contempt of this remonstrance from J. If. Sharpe, and the other great names of the law belonging to the Bridge Street Committee. This to he sure, would he treated with little ceremony enough, in the Courts of Justice, but out of doors it would give reasonable alarm to many ignorant persons, who might have committed much less offence against the laws than this J. B. Sharpe and the Bridge Street Committee. To shew tho House how this association were likely to improve the reverence of the people fur the administration of justice, he need; only remark that there were among the subscribers no. less than forty Peers of the realm, who were thus lend- ing their names to tho pernicious designs and prosecu- tions- of others, over which prosecutions they were estab- lished by the Constitution as judges in the last resort.-—. But a worse consequence than this'lay- in the poisoning of justice at its source; it called UJJ the angry and malevo- lent passions among that vt? iy class of men from which the Juries were to be drawn. What chance could a poor man have when brought before a Jury of men of good possessions, some of whom pentaps would be subscribers to this very association from which the prosecution pro- ceeded? A person of some consequence iu the neigh- bourhood, ' on seeing the name o.' a IVer in the list of subletibers, declared that the name of that Lord being found in ti e list disqualified his tenantry from serving as Jurors. He had no hesitation iu saying where the remedy for this c\ il uub to he found. The Attorney General had the power of stopping all such proceedings by his noli prosequi. He implored Ministers not to wait for the occurrence of any outrageous abuse in this case, but to put a stop to the'evil summarily. Mr. SCARLET I' was certain that there was no per- son . who considered the subject in a legal or constitutional point of view, but would agree in what his Hon. and Learned Friend had stated respecting it.—( Hear.) Mr. WARrE agreed in the condemnation ofthe As- sociation as illegal and unconstitutional. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY questioned the propriety of any discussion as to what the Attorney- Ge- . neral ought or ought not to do, in the absence of the At- torney- General. Without entering into the legality or constitutionality of the Association himself, he could not but express his regret, that if it was of such a character, the mischief of the principle did not flash upon their minds before, when missionaries were sent down to prosecute men, not for libel, but to death; arid great names ap- peared to the subscriptions, which were as likely to warp the minds ofthe Jury as in the present instance—( hear, hear, from the Ministerial benches.) — But all their sensi- bility was reserved for the crime of libel, and the name of Constitutional Society was an aggravation of the libel, which had called foith such a display of constitutional and legal learning as they had never favoured the House with upon any former occasion. Sir J. SEBRIGHT entered his protest as a magistrate against the presumptuous, illegal, and unconstitutional proceeding adopted by that self constituted Society, m their address to the magistracy ofthe country. Mr. BROUGHAM rose amidst loud cries of Spoke, spoke, and Chair, chair !— There was no resemblance or analogy between the case which he had accused them of passing by, and the one of which they now complained. He had stated at the outset that he did not deny the le- gality of one or more persons joining to prosecute in a particular instance, but here was an institution establish- ed on a systematic plan of prosecution fatal to the liberty of ' he press. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY instanced the Society for the Suppression of Vice to shew that the system " was not unknown to the country. Mr. SCARLETT explained. The SOLICITOr GENERAL said, he would take it on himself boldly to affirm, that there was nothing in the institution contrary to law or to the spirit of the Con- stitution.—( Loud cheers from the Opposition.) The Hon. Member then alluded to a prosecution a few days ago in the Court of King's Bench, in which the legality of the institution was determined. Lord MILTON protested against the interpretation that the opinion of the Judges was in its favour, because they had expressed no opinion whatever. Mr. W. WYNN objected to the existence of irres- cellor to the Speaker, staling that several persons had been appointed to offices by the King, and requesting to know whether the House would permit those individuals to take their places in the House, and many of thein were reject- ed. In 1713. the act. of settlement passed, declaring that no person who held office under the Crown should be eli- gible to sit in Parliament ; but this clause was repealed in the 4th of CJuet- n Anile. The 6th of Queen Ann ex- cluded- persons holding pensions of the Crown at pleasure, and this act v.' as renewed in Geo. T. ; but in the reign of Geo. II Sir I!. Walpole adopted the plan which had been followed by bis successors of the present day, namely, to suffer popular acts to pass this House, secure of their being rejected in the Lords. This was repeatedly done with the place and pension bill ; but in the 15th of Geo. 11. Mr. Pelham passed the act which cleared the Commons j of clerks and underlings, who at that time over- run it.~- ; The Hon. Member then proceeded to advert to Mr. ' Dunning's celebrated resolution, and to Mr. Burke's re- j form bill. Since the passing of this bill Parliament bad been studiously reforming itself without doors, but it. had cautiously avoided looking within. Ministers had been • carefij to reserve to themselves that influence which enabled Ministers of the Crown to carry their measures. When the influence of Government was less than now— when its patronage was nothing— and when the revenue was less, in the reign of Geo. II. or when Geo. Ill came to the Crown, than the present revenue cost collecting, there Were fewer placemen. His object was. to remove the clerks and underlings from Parliament. The first he looked at was the Treasury. The Chancellor of the Ex- chequer was necessary in Parliament; but there were five Lords of the Treasury, and he thought that one for Ire- land and one for England would be a most liberal allow- ance ; and be thought three should be left to do the bu- siness of the Treasury, instead of doing what was called the business of the House, Tile two Secretaries were very useful and intelligent persons, but as they were not appointed by the Crown, they ought, by the act of Anne, to vacate their seats. The Secretaries for Foreign Affairs, Colonies, and the Home Department, and the Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, ought to have seats in the House, but he saw no reason to admit the Vice Trea- surer. He would admit the President of the East India Board, but he would turn out three officers of that de- partment. The next Board was the Admiralty. Here he found five Lords with L. 1000 a- year, a Secretary, and a Comptroller of the Navy. They did nothing but vote against attempts at economy in the navy estimates, while the First Lord was left to transact the whole business of the Admiralty. Three- fourths of the junior members of this office took no part in the debates on the estimates, hut started at the rousing cry of question, and voting as Mi- nisters wished, to increase or decrease the estimates.— lie would not object to two Lords of the Admiralty anu the Secretary having seats. In the House were the Se- cretary to the Ordnance and three others ; he would leave would prevent htm. ITe then entered into the following financial statement, which, he contended, would produce a reduction of L. I GO, 000. 30,083.088 WAYS AND MEANS.

After some further observations from Mr. Scarlctt. Mr. Ilume moved the postponement of the report then before the House till this day. The Marquis of Londonderry having acquiesced, the consideration of the report was postponed accordingly. Thursday, Man 31. DECLARATION OF THE ALLIES. Mr. S. WOrTLEY said, he was desirous of putting a question to his Noble Friend whom he saw in his place ( the Marquis of Londonderry). Within the last 24 hours a Document bad been published in the Newspapers as having just reached this country, purporting to be a Dis- patch from the Allied Monarchs assembled at Laybach, in which an allusion was made to a Declaration on the part of those Monarchs. As some of the language in that Circular was of a most exceptionable nature hear, hear ! ] and most dangerous to the liberties of this country [ hear!] lie should like to see that Declaration, lie wished there- fore to know whether it had regularly reached this countrv, and whether the Circular was authentic?- The Marquis of LONDONDERRY said he was ena- bled to say that the Document referred to was an authen- tic one which had been issued by the Powers from whom il purported to proceed. A Copy of tlie Declaration had been sent to this country, and he had reason to say it had proceeded from the assembled Powers. Mr. S. WORTLEY said, as his wish was to bring this subject to tlie notice of the British public, he should move for the production of the Declaration on Tuesday next [ hear !]. AUSTRIAN LOAN. On the Marquis of LONDONDERRY moving the Order of the Day for receiving the Report of the Commit- tee of Supply, Lord J. RUSSELL rose and said, he wished to ask a question of the Noble Lord, relative to the Austrian Loan, lie believed his Lordship had stated on a former occasion, that Austria had denied the Loan as due to this country ; and also that the arguments and reasons on- which that de- nial was founded, were contained in Mr. Gordon's Dis- patches, as this was a matter of great public importance, involving no less a sum than 17 millions, he wished to know the grounds on which Austria denied the existence of the debt, and what objection the Noble Lord had to bringing the papers of Mr. Gordon before the House.

Chron. . . .. . v We again call the attention of our Countryiiiert to the so called Constitutional Association The following is an account of f iie manner in which that Society has deemed it expedient to proceed .. with respect to nn individual against whoin. it liaS institut- ed proceedings. This is what is called putting the Laws in force. • . " A copy lias been sent us, of , a Petition which is to be presented to the House. of Commons from Mr, Thomas Dolby, one. of the publishers who have been attacked by what is self- called ' The Con- stitutional Association.'— We have. inrjuircd into the. facts of the case, which are these Charles Mur- ray atid Co. have proceeded against. Mr. Dcpby oil two indictments. When a bill was found by the Grand Jury on the first indictment, Mr. Dolby put, in bail, and entered into recognizances to take his trial. Now, it appears, that by one of the late Acts against the Press, the defendant and his bail are ob- liged to answer for his ' good behaviour' as well as for his appearance. Of the justice tif this Act wo will not say a word. When a second bill was found against Mr. Dolby, who'had not yet been brought to trial for the first alleged libel, he was again called upon to put in bail ; and on his offering the same names as before, he was told by Mr. Charles Mur- ray, the ' honorary Secretary,' and operative Attor- ney, that those names were not good, as his first bail and recognizances had been forfeited. by the finding of. the second bill: that ( Mr. Charles Murray) should accordingly sue out writs, and estreat the re- cognizances of all the . parties into the Exchequer; the consequence of which will be that the slims in UNFUNDED DEBT— 1821. - only two. The Secretary at War he would, of course, allow to retain his seat in the House ; the Judge Advo- cate. the Paymaster of the Army, the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, and the Vice- President of the Board of Trade ; but he saw no reason why the Master of the Mint should sit in the House, nor why it had, for the first time, been made a Cabinet Office ; they might as well admit to the Cabinet a Commi^ iioner of Bank- rupts. The Surveyor- General of the Woods and Forests should sit in Parliament, but no other. There was . he Comptroller of the Household, two Lords of the Bed- chamber, and others, holding, as our ancestors called it, " Livery of the King," who sat in the House, The Lord Advocate might remain, but they had no occasion for the Chief Justice of Chester, because the Judges should keep their minds aloof from all political squabbles. He saw no occasion to admit the Irish Masters in Chan- cery. There were now in Parliament 29 persons whom he wished to exclude, out of 51 who held places during the pleasure of Government ; he quoted the following Protest of the Lords against the Rejection of the Pension Bill in 1730. as containing the substance of the argument which pleaded for the measure he had to offer ; — " Because, strictly speaking, all influence ill either House of Parliament, except that which arises from a sense of those duties which wp owe to our King and coun- try, are improper, and the particular influences which the Bill was intended to prevent, are not only improper, but may, and naturally must, in course of time, become ex- tremely pernicious both to the Crown and the people ; for first, although Ibis influence appears to be that of the Crown, it may become entiiely that of the Minister, and be applied to deceive the Prince, as well as to oppress the people. If ever a corrupt Minister should have the dis- position of places and the distribution of pensions, gratui- ties and rewards, he may create such an influence as shall effectually deprive the Prince of the great advantage of knowing the true sense of his . people, and a House of Parliament being prevailed upon to oppose such measures as the whole nation dislikes, he may be so confirmed in the pursuit of them, as for the sake of an unworthy servant lo lose the affections of his people ; still he imagines that he both deserves and possesses them ; in the next place, if ever their improper influence should obtain a certain degree of strength, then terrible consequences must inevi- tably flow from it. That the worst proposals for the pub- lic will be the most likely to succeed, and that the vilest ministers wilt be the best supported ; the reason whereof we take to be extremely " plain, since this improper influence Irish Treasury Bills, By reduction of Unfunded Debt, The total amount for the year in expenses would be nineteen millions. The House bad already granted the annual taxes, and a credit had been taken on them for four millions, being nearly a million more than last year. This was done on the temporary Excise Duties. Upon the Lottery he took only L. 200,000, and on Old Stores he took only L. 300' 000. The amount of the French Debt was nearly 1,0- 15.000 livres. Part of this was taken to pay the troops in France ; the rest would he appropriated to the service of the present year, to the the extinction of the disorders committed by the po- pulace, and hopes were therefore entertained that the tranquillity of Constantinople would soon be re- stored. Two sailors haying been shot while at work upon the rigging of a Spanish vessel, the Ambas- sador made a strong remonstrance to the I'ortc on the subject, ii) consequence of which an order was issued, announcing that instant death would be in flicted on any found with fire arms in the streets Dilligent search are also making bv the police after Greeks suspected of participating in the rebellion.— Their houses weje entered by the patroles, and they were put to death without ceremony. VIENNA, May 1.5.— The letters from Constan- tinople of the 20th April are filled with the most af- flicting details; scarcely a day passes without the execution, in that capital, of Greeks, and of the most distinguished families. Prince Morasi, lately appointed dragoman to the Porte, has been decapitated, according to some, at I the entrance to the Seraglio, and to others, on the | very threshold of the palace of the Greek patriarch, j This frightful event has filled with consternation all j those persons who latrlv beheld with pleasure Ins ap- S pointment to the high office above named, j TURIN, May 15.— The Royal Delegation charged to i examine the conduct of those who have taken part in the insurrection, has commanded all the competent authorities to place under sequestration the property of 4- 1 persons, designated in the decree, against whom it lias been judged necessary to commence a criminal procedure. It is re- marked that this list does not comprise the greater part of the Members of the Junta of Turin. amount of L. 500.000, and perhaps some small sum would be applicable to the service of next year. The next thing was the re- payment of the Exchequer Bills ; and what had been advanced for the election of important works. The total of the ready money produce of the present year, was 1,6,500,000. In order to meet the exigences ofthe State, they had been obliged to take twelve millions and a half for England, and L. 500,000 for Ireland, from the sinking fund. He intended to give a facility for the transfer of stock between England and Ireland. The whole amounted to L 20,031,000, giving an excess of about L. l2,000 over the expenses as estimated for the year. lie did not think himself justified in holding out any prospect of farther reduction; but iu the next year Government intended to bring the subject before the House, A long discussion followed on the several Resolutions; and on that for raising L. 200,000, by way of Lottery, a division took place ; when the numbers were, iu favour ofthe Resolution, 123; against it, 65. which these persons are bound will be levied by dis- tress on their goods. All this, remember, is before Mr. Dolby is brought to trial! , All this passes, though he mav be declared by a Jury innocent of all the offences laid to his charge.

THE KING V. CARTWrtlOIir, WOOLER, ( 5- OTHERS. The Attorney- General prayed the judgment of the Court on the defendants, John Cartwr, ight, Esq, George Edmonds, Thomas Jo- rta than Wooler Wm. G. Lewis, and Charles Maddoeks, convicted at the last Summer Assizes for the county of Warwick, before the Lord Chief Baron Richards, of a conspiracy to elect Sir Charles Wolscley, Bart, as Legislatorial Attorney in Parliament for the town of Birmingham, and to excite . disaffection to- wards his Majesty's Government, by means of seditious speeches delivered at a public meeting held at Birming- ham. All the defendants, except Lewis ( who is now- in confinement tinder a former sentence,) were in Court. Mr. Jo slice Baylcy pronounced the sentence of the Court, which lie prefaced with an address, in which ha drew a distinction between the case of Major Cartwrighc and the other defendants. Major Cartw right, in consequence of his advanced age, to pay I.. 100 fine to the King, ' l'he Major immediately paid the fine, and was discharged accordingly, George Edmonds to be imprisoned in Warwick Castlo nine months, and enter into sureties for five years, him- self in L. 400, and two sureiica in L. 100 each. Charles Maddox, eighteen months imprisonment in the same place, and to find like sureties. Thomas Jonathan Wooler, fifteen months imprison- ment in the same place, and to find like securities. The defendant Lewis was not brought up for judgment. ject. renewed with the Court of Austria, any disclosure should be made, which might have the effect of putting one j or other of the parties in a worse situation than before.— The debt he considered to be still good and existing ; and unless Government gave up the claim, he did no see why the Noble Lord called on Parliament to interfere. Lord J. RUSSELL observed, that the Noble Lord's answer was very like no answer at all [ hear, hear!]. If the Government gave up the debt there would be an end to all negociatiou, and " if it did not, nothing could be more evident than that a declaration of the House in support of it would have the effect of strengthening the arguments by which Government enforced the claim [ hear, hear, hear !] He would therefore give notice, that a motion would be submitted 011 tKe subject in the course of a few days, either by his Hon, Friend the Member for Buckinghamshire ( Mr. IS. Smith), or by himself. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY remarked, that the Noble Lord appeared to think a negotiation with a Fo- reign Court could be better conducted in Parliament than by the Ministersof the Crown. AGRICULTURAL REPORT. Lord MILTON inquired when it was likely that the Report ofthe Agricultural Committee would be presented to the House ? To is question of the same kind before Easter, it had been answered, that it vvould be probably presented in ten clays after the Easter recess, but six weeks had since elapsed, and rumours were afl- mt that it would rot he presented for sometime. Considering the great importance of the question which had so long agitated the country, he wished to understand whether the Report oil this interesting subject was to be presented in the pre- sent Session [ hear, hear !] The Marquis of LONDONDERRY stated, that in the absence of the Chairman of the Committee ( Mr. Gooch). it was impossible to say when the Report could be presented. It was out of the power of him or any other Member Of the Commmittce to tell that. Mr. TIKRNEY observed, that although the Noble Lord, as a Member of the Committee, could not give a direct answer, yet he could give a shrewd guess on the iubiect if he | leased [ hear ! and a laugh J. Lord LONDONDERRY said he could give no an- swer. Lord MILTON observed, that it appeared they were to be put off from one day to another, until the Session wasall whiled away | hear!]. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY said, that if the Session was whiled away, the Noble Lord and his friends could not be accounted blameless [ hear, hear !]. Mr. BENNET observed, thst although this question agitated all England, from Scotland to the Land's end, vet they could obtain no answer. Mr. HUSKISSON remarked that the importance of the question was the best reason ill the world w hy a grave assembly should not come to a hasty decision upon il [ hear!]. . Jdt >>. Mr. RICARdO said, it was his firiyi ( ipinion that the Report would be presented before tile Prorogation of Parliament. INDEPENDENCE OF PARLIAMENT. Mr. BENNET rose, pursuant to his notice, to bring forward his motion on this subject. He proceeded to take a review of the present formation of the House of Com- mons, antl contended that the number of Members hold- ing places and pensions dependent on Ministers must tend to destroy its. purity: fu the early part ofthe reign of James I. there was a letter extant from the Lord Chan, may be directed to any purpose whatever, and will always be most exerted when it is most wanted ; that is, in sup- port of ill measures and vile Ministers." Whether this Protest, which was signed by I. ord Ba- thurst, the father of the Chancellor, and other distin- guished Nobles of the day, contained forcible argument, or any thing prophetical with respect to the present day, he would leave it to the House and the country to deter- mine. The Hon. Member concluded with an impressive appeal to the House, as it valued its own character and the opinion of the public, to concur in his motion, that leave be given to bring in a Bill- for better securing'the independence of Parliament. Mr. F. ROBINSON said it might he an ungracious task to oppose any measure which came under the specious pretext of securing the independence of Parliament ; but. lie should lie deterred by. no consideration from doing ( lis duly. The Hon. Gentleman had himself admitted that certain placement ought to have seats in the House ; and he had, therefore, reduced the question from one of prin- ciple to one of degree. In the time of Sir R. Walpole, 200 placemen held scats ill that House ; a circumstance quite preposterous ; and he would say that there never was a time when there were fewer placemen in the House.— He looked with as much jealousy as any man at the in- fluence ofthe Crown in that House. It was begging the question to say, that because the majority of the House had carried questions which the minority did not approve of, placemen ought not to sit in the House. The Hon. Gentleman's argument ought to have gone to the exclu- sion of all placemen. There must be in the House of Commons that communion of feeling which is excited by community of office. He believed that men of both par- ties acted from the purest patriotism, and the most cons- cientious motives. He had always respected the opinion ofthe people. The power of the Crown was never so small in that House, and the influence of public opinion was never so great. Colonel DA VIES contended that if they considered the influeuce ofthe Crown throughout every part of the country, no man would say it was ever so great as at pre- sent, or r11at it could not have a corresponding influence on that House, especially in the election of a majority of its Members, w ho wertvalways ready to support the mea- sures ofthe Government, lie would appeal to tile House whether the majority against reform in any department were not principally made up of placemen. The only object of his Hon. Friend's motion was to bring about a moderate and proper reform in the constitution of that House. There was upwards of L. 6' 00,' 000 per year paid away in pensions and superannuated allowances, which gave the Crown an enormous influence. They ought not to disregard the wishes and the opinions srt ' frequently ex- pressed by tile people. The House then divided— For the motion, 52 Against it 76 Majority, 24 Friday, June 1. Lord A.

The CHANCELLOR ofthe EXCHEQUER said that, tlie Estimates having been for some time on the table, the time was come for him to make the annual statement of the expenses of the country, and the Ways and Means to meet them. He ' should have wished to have slated them more largely, but a recent calamity FROM FRENCH PAPERS. The Paris papers contain new and ample details of the progress of the Greek insurrection, which, if they were authentic, would be ofthe greatest im portance. An article from Trieste of the 12th May states, that the whole ofthe Morea had freed itself from the Turkish yoke. There is also another report, that Michael Ypsilanti, the brother of the other Greek leader of the insurrection, had encountered the Turkish army, which for eight months had been besieging the castle ot Ali Pacha, and had beaten and dispersed it. There are other statements of battles and insurrections in various quarters; but they all seem to rest on very doubtful authority. According to accounts from Spain, which have been received to the 17th May, the populace, in different parts, still continue to pursue their prescrip- tive measures against such individuals as have incur- red their suspicion or resentment. At Corttnna, the 4th May, many groups assembled on the Plaza of the Constitution, and on all sides cries were heard of—" Away with the traitors which plot against the system." This tumult was not calmed till the 8th, when about 40 persons were arrested and sent off, including 20 canons and other ecclesiastics, some merchants, a late Governor of Ferrol, and a noble- man. At Cadiz, a number of persons who had been arrested have been since set at liberty, no charge having been proved against them. At other places arrests still continue to be made. CONSTANTINOPLE, April 25 A corps of 5000 janizaries last night commenced their march for Warna, in Bessarabia. They embarked at To- phana. In ascending the Bosphorus, these barba- rians burnt and pillaged, without distinction, houses belonging to Turks and Greeks. Thev plundered the palaco of the Spanish embassy, and two Spaniards lost their lives. M. Souton, Councillor of the Russian embassy, only saved his mansion by throw- ing handfuis of gold from the windows. The Rus- sian flag, which floated over the hotel ofthe embassy, is pierced with balls. BRUSSELS, May 26.— Many hundred Christians have been murdered by the Mussulmen, and, it is added, that whole streets of Pern, where the foreign Ministers reside, have been burnt, and all the in- habitants, without distinction of age or sex, sacrifi- ced to the fury of the Turks— many perished under the sabres ofthe barbarians, and others in the flames. Ail the Christians Ambassadors had barricadocd their hotels ; the diploinaticfcody, according to these accounts, were in the utmost alarm, dreadinoeverv moment the rage of these sanguinary men. Lady Strangford, the wife of the British Ambassador, was wounded in the head as she was going to take refuge in a neighbouring house. The . Journal du Commerce contains, under the date of Naples, May 8, the following singular paragraph :— " The miracle of the liquefaction of the blood. of St. Januarius was effected yesterday in the most . gratifying manner; His Excellency the Archbishop pronounced on this occasion a discourse against the errors of those sophists who attempt to practise de- lusions on the people !" LONDON, June 2. THE' CORONATION— Although the preparations for this magnificent ceremony are gradually proceeding in Westminster Ilall, yet, we have authority for stating that, no directions whatever have been given on the subject from the Lord Chamberlain. All that has been done is merely preparatory, and confined lo minor details, and to the substantial repair of the Hall. In Westminster Abbey every thing remains in the same. state in which it was left in August last, and conveys only 11 faint outline of the splendid scene which will hereafter be displayed. Under these circumstances, it may be inferred that the ceremony cannot take place at the early period which ( he public have been erroneously led to anticipate. It will require . several weeks to" complete the arrangements, after his Majesty's pleasure shall be known. Tilt works which have already been completed, have been carried 011 with the most studious regard to economy. Only L. 22,000 has as yet been expended— and this includes a stock of materials to the amount of L. 10,000, which have been purchased in readiness for the works, when they shall be finally ordered to be proceeded with.— Courier. His Majesty's Robes for the Coronation are so covered with gold and silver, that it is doubted whether, in perfect good health, he can support the weight during the time allotted for the ceremony. Ferdinand tells the Cortes, that if the murderers of the Priest Vinuessa be not punished, foreign nations must entertain a very bad opinion of the new Constitution.— The massacre of the 10th March, 1820, at Cadiz, re- mains uninvestigated and unpunished, the Regiment of Guides enjoying as much impunity as the Manchester Yeomanry ; and this legitimate Sovereign entertains 110 apprehensions, that the proceeding may have been un- popular with foreign nations. It gives us great pleasure to see, that the independent of all parties in this country feel indignant at the senti- ments contained in the Circular from Laybach. Mr. Stuart Wortly is a Tory, he supported Ministers through- out the war, and he has almost uniformly approved of all their measures; but he is an English Gentleman, and feels the value ofthe privileges he enjoys under that Con- stitution which the Allies have condemned in so unquali- fied a manner. We respect the manliness with which he comes forward on this occasion to give expression to what we have 110 doubt he feels ill common with many inde- pendent men of his party. Indeed, we would fain hope, that there are not many men in this country so insensible to the advantages for which we are indebted to our Con- stitution, as to approve ofthe slavish doitrines which the Allies have dared to publish to the world. This is not a question as to the degree of support which ought to he given to the Executive— as to the policy or impolicy of a war— as to tile rejection or adoption of a plan of Reform ; hilt it is a question whether or not there shall only exist in the world Despots and Slaves? The Allies boldly proclaim to the world, that they consider Sovereigns accountable only to Gon, and that they will oppose themselves to all . institutions which do not eininate from their free will ; they pronounce judgment against many of our most in- valuable privileges, and proclaim to the world that the So- vereign who fills the Throne of these realms is. an usurper. Truly, it is high time for English Gentlemen to speak out. This comes of making Huns and Tartars the 111 bi- ters of Europe. One good they have done ; they have removed forever, all doubt as to the opinions they really entertain. The time was, when their language led many to entertain very different opinions as to their views. But when those, who have a million of armed men at their disposal, tell the world that they are accountable only to Gon, that they will maintain whatever is established, and that they will only recognise institutions obtained from the free will of Sovereigns, there can be but one opinion respecting them. Neither their metaphysics nor their swords will, how- ever. alter the nature of things.

The Solicitor- General restricted the libel, and the Jury having found the prisoner guilty in terms of his own confession, be was sentenced to seven years' transportation. Peter Alexander was next placed at the bar, charged . with breaking into tbe house of Mr. John Gellatly, si- tuated in Commercial Place.

After the examination of witnesses, the Jury, after retiring for a short time, returned du unanimous verdict of Guilty and the Solicitor- General, on account of the youib of the prisoner, restricted the libel to an arbitrary punishment. He was sentenced to be transported for life. The next case was that of Ann Sommerville, from Dunbar, accused of child- murder and concealment of pregnancy. The prisoner pleaded Not Guilty, bnt the proceedings were stopped before any evidence was ad- duced. by Mr. Maclean stating that the Public Prosecutor's name was not affixed to the list of witnesses, an objection which was sustained by the Court, and tbe prisoner was thereupon liberated, tbe Court first expressing its high displeasure that the ends of . justice should be defeated by the omission, and directing that a precognition into the circumstance should take place. hEE- StbE COACH.

THE Declaration of tho Allied Sovereigns, cir- culated through all the European Courts before they left Lnvbach, is a document of considerable length, bnt the sum and substance of the whole is this :— That these Potentates are determined to al- low no political changes originating with the people, but to support legal institutions. They brand, with the name of conspiracy, the attempts made to esta- blish the liberties of the people in Naples and Pied- mont, and aver that the | ieople of these kingdoms were averse to the new order of things, the Spa- nish Constitution, and particularly the soldiers— The gross inconsistency of this averment, the sup- position that the people of anv state will allow the established order of things to be ehanged against their will, including tlie soldiery in their numbers, is a monstrous contradiction ; and it is utterly false, that cither the Neapolitans or Piedmontese were averse to the new Constitution. Ifthey were thus averse, what need of a foreign invading army to restore what the allied Sovereigns call legal in- stitutions ? Or, was it ever known that a people stood in need of protection against its own acts and dteds 1 But these protectors of the Liberties of Mankind are determined to support all legal institu- tions. In former times slavery was legal in Eng- land ; and at no remote period, colliers and fishermen were adscript! glebes in Scotland, and legally trans- ferable with the soil to a purchaser. Upon the principles of the Holy Alliance, these legal institu- tions ought to have remained untouched, for the Emperor of Austria has declared that every old institution is good, and iinnovations are to be resist- ed. The Inquisition was a legal institution, it ought therefore to have been preserved ; for, ac- cording to Imperial logic, legislation is brought to perfection in this best of all possible worlds, and no farther change is to be permitted. But why do not these Potentates follow up these their declared prin- ciples ? The crime they impute to the Neapolitans and Picdmontese is the adoption of the Spanish Constitution ; and in order to preserve consistency, thev ought to have extended their benevolence to Spain, and restored the antient despotism. With regard to Spain, however, the allied Sovereigns are silent. It does not appear, that any immediate attempt against that country is thought advisable, and as FERDINAND is not upon the best terms with his subjects, the future intentions of the great powers may for the time be concealed front a regard to his safetv, and measures may be tried to effect a counter- revolution bv means of the Priests and Nobles ; but the hostile disposition towards the pat- riots must be supposed to remain unchanged, while the Sovereigns, declaring themselves accountable to GOD onlv, assert their right to put down Revolutions exactly similar to and modelled upon that of Spain. The Law of Nations therefore, infuture, is to be coer- cion in order to prevent innovations, however bene- ficial, and the willof the Sovereign is in every instance to prevail over that of the people. Henceforward the study of national law, the jus gentium, may be aban- doned, and thewritingsof PUFFENDOKF. GHOTIUS, ai; d BURLOMAQUI, committed to the flames ; for like ACIIILLES, the magnanimous Emperors of Russia and Austria, and the King of Prussia, will have no laws to restrain their actions, and no appeal but to arms. " . fu'ra rcgr. nl stli n. da uikitnan arro- gant armrs" The time lias been, when reason was supposed sufficient for the regulation of human affairs without violence, and wars of defence only were held just and honourable. In the earlier ages of Italy, Kings were held amenable to tlicir subjects / or their actions ; and we are informed, that ME- ZENI'IUS, on account of his cruelties, was justlv denounced by his enraged subjects, who demanded his punishment bv immediate death ;* and PAU- SANIAS, King of the Lacedemonians, suffered death as the punishment of his mis- government and crimes : but the Emperor of Austria, attached to every period so old as favours the cause of despotic rule, \\ ill have no reference to tunes loo old to serve his purpose; and, while he shuts up Universities, declares that lie wants no learned men, but good subjects. We trust, however, that human nature ts not to be so brutalized, and ignorance so com- pletely established, that Europe shall quietly submit to tvranny so absolute and utterly degrading ; and as the Declaration of the Allies, admitted by Lord LONDONDERRY to he an authentic document, is soon to come under the notice and we would hope severe ccnsure of Parliament, it will be seen whe- ther the British nation can be brought to tolerate such doctrines. What sensation this Declaration has excited in France we have not yet learned, and while the Press remains under censorship, the real state ofthe public mind can- be known hilt to a few ; Frenchmen, however, who recollect what this coun- try was hut ten years ago, and consider what it is now, not even mentioned among the great Powers of Ettrope, must no doubt be projicrly grateful for the blessings of restored legitimacy, and duly estimate the services rendered to socipty hythe Holv Alliance. The disc ussion upon Mr STUA HT WoRTLEY'smo- tion, will afford an opportunity for putting certain questions to his Majesty's Ministers, concerning their knowledge of the protocol of this famous De- claration : bnt Lord LONDONDERRY, it may lie presumed, will find that it is not the proper time for answering them, or that some other reasons pre- vent him from giving explanations. We do not anticipate that he will deny his knowledge of the principles upon which the Molly Alliance has acted. Yefeverv thing that has recently occurred appears, upon reflection," to be tiie necessary consequence of the combination against the liberties of France.— The allied Sovereigns have just as good a right to maintain despotism iu Naples, Piedmont, and Spain, as thev had to palm the Bourbons upon a people who despise and detest them ; and if we do not much mistake, Mr. STUART WORTLEY and Mr. Wil. BENRORCE will yet sec, that the measures they uniformly supported have led to those which, as Englishmen, they now find themselves bound un- equivocally to condemn. In South America hostilities have again commenc- ed, BOLIVAR having demanded from the Royalist Commander, I) E LA TORRE, an explicit acknow- ledgment of Independence or the termination of the Armistice. The Revolution is considered as very nearly complete, a revolution having taken place in Mexico ; and if Lima is not already iii the possession ofthe patriots, not the least doubt is entertained that it must speedily fall into their hands. Upon the motion of Mr. BENNET, for leave to bring in a Bill for the better security of the Inde- )> endence of Parliament, by the exclusion of certain placemen, he quoted a protest ofthe Lords iu 1T30; which well deserves public attention. lie left it to the House and to the country to determine, w hether it contained forcible argument, or any thing pro- phetical with respect to the present day. " Because, strictly speaking, all influence in either Utilise of Pailiament. except that which arises from a sense of those duties which we ow e to our King and coun- try. are improper, and the particular influences which the Bill was intended to prevent, are not only improper, but may, ami naturally must, in course of time, become ex- tremely pernicious both to the Crown and tbe people ; for first, although this influence appears to be that ofthe Crown, it may become, entiiely that of the Minister, and be applied to deceive the Piince. as well as to oppress the people. If ever a corrupt Minister should have the dis- position of places and the distribution of pensions, gratui- ties find rewards, he may create such an influence as shall effectually deprive the Prince of the great advantage of knowing tbe true sense of his people, and a House of Parliament being prevailed upon to oppose such measures as the whole nation, dislikes, he may he so confirmed in the pursuit of them, as for the sake of an unworthy servant ro lose the affections of his people ; still he imagines that he both deserves and possesses them ; in the next place, if ever their improper influence should obtain a certain degree of strength, then terrible consequences must inevi- tably flow from it. That the worst proposals /' or the pub- lic trill be the most likely to succeed. and that the vilest ministers will be ihe best supported; the reason whereof we take to be extremely plain, since this improper influence may be directed to any purpose whatever, and will always be most exerted when it is • most wantbd ; that is, in sup- port of ill measures and vile Ministers." The speech ofthe Hon. Gentleman was distin- guished by sound and close reasoning, and drew forth a reply from Mr. F. ROBINSON on the part of Mi- nisters, elnefly remarkable for the open avowal of the doctrine, that in all governments there must be a reasonable degree < finfluence, for it was impossible that any Government loulrt be conducted upon abstract principles of right and wrong. This is a most im- portant declaration upon the part of Ministers— for if any Government cannot exist upon the abstract principles of right and wrong, another principle im- mediately appears necessary, which can be resolved into nothing else than corruption ; the purchase of men oil certain conditions to act in direct opposi- tion to the dictates of conscience. Whether this principle has been acted upon bv British Statesmen for the last thirty years, it is unnecessary to in- quire ; but, in the present state, of the country, the open avowal of Mr. ROBINSON must excite the at tention of the publi j Always believing what be learned at school—" honesty ts the best policy"— we cannot readily agree that abstract principles of Right and Wrong aiSp insufficient to conduct pros- perously the affairs of Individuals and States. If the House of Commons must be bribed, at least ' let the fact, be known, and the public will form the proper conclusion ; but we believe the opinion to be still prevalent, that the honourable house ought to act honourably, upon principles of Right and Wrong, and those only.

A few Gentlemen, who think the CROSS would be bet- ter placed than wheie it has stood from its first erection, by removing it farther up Castle Street, have it seems been told, " that they maybe indulged in that, provided " they will pay the expence of. removal, and if the C'ommis- j " sioners of Police, on the part of the inhabitants, will " concur in the measure." The removal is merely a mat- j ler of taste, on w hich there is room for a diversity ofopi- ; nion; bnt we shall beg leave to state a few particulars, in ! which it may affect the convenience of the Public. The j Castle Street is the general maiket place, for garden stuff of ail descriptions, poultry, and a number of other ar- . tides, and it must, without doubt, continue to be so. Tbe space east of Marischal Street,- at piesent occupied as a general maiket, is about two- thirds of the whole street; but, by removing from the convenient steps ofthe Plain- stones, tbe industrious- l-' isli Women, who bring daily to our market, from the Cove, Findon, and other small places on the coast, from a distance of 4 or 6 miles, the : smoked haddock and shell fish, the flavour of which is so i agreeable on the breakfast table, even that circumscribed ' space, eastward, is in a certain degree abridged, and of J course somewhat more crouded, while tbe fishers, who i ought to be rather courted, than quarrelled with, are ; much dissatisfied. They say, they sat down with com- : fort, on tbe lower step of the Plainstoites, and laid ; their articles of sale on the other, till removed at the re- r gulated hour, anil were thankful for the indulgence, \ while it afforded accommodation very convenient aud i agreeable to the inhabitants. Bui might it not be asked in passing, if there is not some hazard, now that the regu- ' larity of Sieam Vessels is iu train, that this dissatisfac- . tion may dispose the Fishers to deal largely with the , wholesale traffuers in these articles, forthe Loudon and » Edinburgh markets ; and that, in a short time, Crab I Claws and Findon Haddocks may become productions ; of scanty supply in the Aberdeen market ? It is a cir- i cumstance of general inconvenience, to croud most of the j articles necessary for domestic use into the- east end of 1 Castle Street, removed thus, so much farther from the j inhabitants, nigh, and at a distance. Would not the re- , moval of the Cross croud this narrow space still more, not i merely by what would be required by its actual base, but by an addition round it for its protection ? The unbuilt we-. t side of King Street must be J'eued in time, and all that large space, now used as a general market place, must send its numerous occupants no one can say where, for Castle Street is often alread y crouded to excess. This particularly happens in the high season of Potatoes and Turnip, when from 50 to ICO carts, with these useful articles, fill up, with their surrounding customers, so large a space in Castle Street. The Cross was ever con- sidered as a suitable adjunct to the Piuinstones, a place so w ell adapted togeneral rendezvous— so centrically situated in the vicinity of tbe Town House, Court House, Jail, and other public establishments, and now so convenient for a Corn Market, and other agricultural meetings. Some time since it was suggested by some individuals to remove the Plainstones altogether. Nothing could have been more generally disagreeable. The Commissioners of Police saw it in that light, and anxious to dischavge their duty judiciously, agreeable to the general wish, finally settled the matter, by carrying the Plaiiistoiies quite round the Cross. In consequence, the new base of steps lias been, very properly, laid by the Magistrates, and the superstructure, as originally intended, should, without hesitation, follow. After all. the Cross, if removed, might be rendered an object, or Vsta to King Street and Union Street; but, let it be remarked, it could not, thus situated, be in the center of Castle Street, but must still stand on one side. Many reasons, besides' these, might, lie stated, to shew the propriety of rebuilding the Cross, oil the spot where it has so loR£ stood. We mentioned in a former paper, that on Monday the 14th day of . May last, a general meeting of the Heritors and Inhabitants of this city was held in the New Court House, for the purpose of taking into consideration tlie state of the Parochial- Poor, and devising means for their support— and briefly noticed what took. place at that meet- ing : we have now authority to state, that the Committee then named to devise the best ' means for raising the ne- cessary sum by voluntary subscription, have waited on most ofthe inhabitants, and have procured their suhscrip, tions, to the amount of upwards of £'.)<)() ster. t — A nil the Committee, at a meeting held in the poor's Hospital on Saturday last, was unanimeu-. Iy of opinion, that an attempt should ne made to support the poor for the en- suing year without having recourse lo a legal assessment. Although of- this opinion, the Committee was fully aware that the sums subscribed fall considerably short of what will probably be necessary for supplying the necessities of the poor for a year ; yet they trust that the deficiency will be made up. by the amount of any subscriptions that may have been omitted to be called for— arrears of former sub- scriptions— the generosity of the public— and other casual means. As every one is fully acquainted with the baneful effects of a legal assessment, we tiust that what is necessary for tbe support of the poor of this place, will always be made up by voluntary contribution. The Subscriptions for the present year will, we under- stand, be called for in the course of the ensuing week, by proper persons duly authorised for that purpose. CHINA.— It has been observed, that few branches of British Manufacture have attained to so great perfection in tbe same period as that of China ; and since we have seen tbe exhibition of Derbyshire Porcelain in this town, all will feel disposed to think the statement a fact. It is true, the British Artist models from the ancients, but he stands unprecedented inability to beautify with the pencil. There are landscape, fruit, and flower pieces on some of this China, which it is thought approach to many of the great masters on canvas. The goods were open for ins- pection yesterday. The sale commences on Monday.— See Advertisement. Extract of a Letter from a Gentleman, to his Friend in Aberdeen, doled Martiusburgli, Virginia, N. America, March 5, 1821.. " Produce is low bere at present, Wheat. 40 een's. per bushel, that is for every 601b ; Corn, 23; Rye, 37\ ; Oats. 23 cents. We are retailing the best Tobac « q_ at 25 cents per lb ; Whi- ky, 23 tents per gallon ; Coffee, 3Z\ cents ; Sugar, 1cents. A man, who boats my flour to George Town, took down 3 or 4000ib. of ex- cellent Bacon with him the last trip, and could get but 6 cents per lb. for it ; this shews, that money is scarce with us. There are several Mills in this neighbourhood for carding and spinning wool, also for fulling and colour- ing cloth ; they are all doing pretty w ell, they have 6 to 16 cents for carding and spinning, when it does not ex- ceed 8 cuts to the lb. and 2 cents a cut as an additional charge for all over 8 cuts to the lb ; 12.^ cents per yard for weaving, and the same for fulling, or scouring and colouring, a cheap colour. Wool sells from 25 to 33 cents per lb. it is much coarser than your wool, in con- sequence of which, there is but a small quantity of fine wide cloth made in this neighbourhood." On Monday, the 4th instant, JOHN GILL. Shipbuilder in Aberdeen, was appointed hy the Magistrates, a Swot It Measurer of Timber at this Port. New potatoes were dug on Monday last, in an open field in this neighbourhood, belonging to Mr. James J affray, Gardener, and sold at 2s. 6d. per pint. The Tourist, steam packet, which sailed froin Newha- ven for this port, on Friday se'ennight, by approaching] too near the coast, for the purpose of, landing passengers, struck on a rock near Dysart, and received some trifling injury, which obliged her to put back. The passengers were all landed in safety ; and tbe vessel having repaired the damage, ( which consisted chiefly iu tho stripping of a small part of her copper sheaihing,) sailed again on Monday. She w as later than usual in arriving here that evening '; but sailed again, on Tuesday morning, at half- past seven, without coming into the harbour. Oil Saturday, the Leith and Aberdeen Steam Yacht Company's vessel " the Brilliant was Kim chcd ia grn » 4 style at Dumbarton, from the building yatd of M James Lang. The Brilliant is a remarkably strong and beautiful vessel, of 106 feet keel, and > 25 feet oil deck, planned by and built u » der the supeiintendar. c'a of Mr. Hedderwick, an experienced s!, ip carpenter, ar., i is to have engines of 80 horse power from one of the first makers in Glasgow. She is intended, in connexion witii the Tourist stearri- yacht, belonging to the same Company, to complete the intercourse beiwiSt Leitli and Inverness, and all the intermediate ports. On Sabbath. lOih instant, the Rev. Messrs. (' A (, U and COLES will preach again, and make collections iii aid of the native Irish Schools. In the Afternoon, Mr. Cot. PS will preach at the Rev. Mr. Angus's Chapel, N', Nicholas' Lane, and in the Evening, Mr. PAGE wilt preach at the same place, and Mr. COLLS at the Methodist Chapel. The Society has at present 90 Schools: these contain about 8000 Children : and since the commencement of the Society, more than 20,000 children, besides many adults, have received the elements of instruction. The annual expenditure of the Siiciety amounts to at least L. 2000 ; while the annual subscriptions are not more than a < piarter f that sum. The Society has no funded property ; and the Treasurer lias even been ob- liged to advance money in AID OF THE FUNJDS. The Forfarshire Regiment of Mililia assemble at Mon- trose oh the 27th inst. for 21 days training and exercise. In consequence of the decreasing deman^ for Black Cattle, prices have fallen at some of tbe late Fairs very considerably. At Udny Market, held on Tuesday last, notwithstanding a fine Shew of Cattle, the sale was nearly at a stand— there being no Dealers present, nor any de- mand, so that, it is believed, not more than from forty to fifty cattle were sold .; and these ai a reduction in price of several pounds, from what they w ould have brought two months ago. At Brechin market, on Tuesday, the demand for farm scrt ants was greater than it has b? en for several years past, and wages considerably higher. Men obtained from L. 5 to L. 7, for the summer half- year ; women/ from 1- 3. to L.. 3 10s Towards evening, several farmers seemed disappointed ; the number of womeu servants having fallen short of the demand. Upon a representation from the " Society of Sliijv- Owners of Newcastle," to the Treasury, tbe Members for Nev.- astle have received an assurance, that the proposed additional duty office shillings per cent, upon time policies shall not take place. It is with great pleasure we call the attention of our readers to the great improvements which are about to be established by the trustees on the ferries across the Firlh of Forth from Newhaven and Leith to Pettyeur, Dysart, Burntisland. Aberdour, Sc. as they are detailed in n » advertisement in our first pat'e. Such facilities of com- munication between toe tw- ocoas;- of Fifeand Mid Lothian must be of the greatest importance to• the public, and. connected as they are, with a system of land intercourse northward, by coaches to Perth, Dundee, t\'. fie wholrf together may unquestionably be considered ,- » ue of the grandest local improvements which has been made in our day. On Friday last, that highly respectable body, the Coun- ty Club. which has now flourished above a century, had one of their Quarterly Meetings here, numerously at- tended by the Members, with several guests invited on the occasion. The MARQUIS of HCNTI. Y, the Lord I. ieut. filled the Chair, in liis usual pre- eminent style of con- viviality and politeness. Tbe Noble Marquis presided the following day at the North em United Service Club here, supported bv Generals Hay, Gordon, and Burnett; Lieut.- Cols. D. Forbes, Knight Erskine, Wood, Clerk, and Gordon of Cluny, with many other Military and Naval Gentlemen in this quarter, and a number of guests. This Club, institued a few years ago. seems admirably conducted, and affords to our brave Officers in the north, ( now enjoying repose after their gallant services to their country) the opportunity of meeting regularly together, and preserving that . social harmony so congenial and credit table to both services. It is by no means gratifying to understand that n num- ber of our cotton weavers are turning their eyes to France. Nine months ago several weaving families emigrated to, Rouen, and the accounts transmitted by them have been such as to induce a number of individuals to follow their example. Thirty men left the Barnoy Parish to- day oa same destination. In such eases it is filially the best workmen that emigrate.
