FOR PRESERVING THE TEETH fl GUMS. riMIE VEGETABLE TOOTH POWDER has - A. so long been in general use that it is unnecessary to offer any further recommendation of it. Composed of Vege- tables, without the admix ! ure of any Mineral or pernicious in- gredient whatever, it is free from the usual objection against < he use of other D.- ntrifices. Its detersive power is just suffi* cient to annihilate those destructive particles which adhere to the Gums and the Interstices of the Teeth ; healing injuries in the former, and promoting a new Enamel ( where it has been injured or corroded) on the latter. It likewise imparts a firmness and healthy icdnessto the Gums; and if used regu- larly will preserve the Teeth in a sound state to old age. Sold in Boxes, at 2s. 9d. by Butlers*. Chemists, No. 20.

Or what other reason can be assigned, that neither the civil r? or ecclesiastical autho- rities interfere to stop the simhiefui sj^ teiu of traffic, whit li pre- vails on that day in theMaiket Fruit Gardens around the city? I live in the vicinity of some of these Gardens, and'have ob- served, that every Stiliday, from the commencement of the fruit season till its termination, they exhibit the appearance of a regular f » ytr.

It therefore de- serves the the attention of those who are the legal guardians of the public weal. Hoping that yon will find room for the above hasty remarks in an early number, 1 am, Sir, yours, & c. A CONSTANT READER. Parish of Old Machar, July 24,. 1322. . To the EDITOR of the ABERDEEN CHRONICLE. ; Stit; ' ' ' UPON oerusing the pages of your last week's Chronicle, T observed a Letter signed A Female,'* the hovelty of which induced me to inquire what your fair Correspondent had to communicate to the public. Although I have* no desire of becoming an anonymous writer, and although I am not. one of those to whom your Correspondent more immediately refers, yet, as I have no inclination for matrimony, I feel myself call- ed upon to offer a few brief remarks, in vindication of a class of persons whom the fair sex are but too apt to make the Object of their spleen. Tile Female's first question is, whether a life of Celibacy, or a state of Matrimony be the more pleasant ? and to the latter of these she no doub? assignsthe palm of superiority ; but » iilow n^ c to conduct her to the abode of the hen- picked husband, and there exhibit to her the treatment which he receives from an over- iuling wife-— that courteous smiles which formerly aSbrd ed him exquisite pleasure are now changed into a perpetual ' frown— that object in whom his happiness centered is become a fountain of unceasing vexation— and that pleasure which Be en- joyed in a state of Celibacy is entirely cancelled. Matrimony is the parent of innumerable troubles, it increases care, and not unfrequently causes the sun of prosperity to set at noon- day. The Ladies elegant appearance in the Ball Room, or at the Tea Table, may influence the minds of the weak and un- thinking, and inspire them with hopes which matrimony is to- tally inadequate to realize ; but short sighted must that man be who expects pleasure in the gloomy recess of Matrimony. The Female's second question is respecting the dispositions of the Ladies thirty years ago. This is a qtiery which I am as incompetent as I would be unwilling to solve : female vice is a subject of too delicate a nature to lie discussed in a public jour- nal, and is a subject that calls forth our commiseration at what- ever period it exists. Your Correspondent's third question is rather of a complicat- ed nature ; and, therefore, innumerable reasons might wiih pro- priety be assigned in solving it, reasons which can neither be extenuated nor denied ; some have no inclination of forming a matrimonial connection, others have never been admitted into die circle of fortune's friendship, and therefore prudently avoid a path in Winei? ii'.'/; » • inform them they cannot afford to tread. Ambition has gained a complete ascendancy over the fair sex, the adorning of their persons and the mariner in which they are to appear in public entirely engross their at- tention ; and those who are not affluently situated, view them as the inevitable road to ruin. But are there not many of the most learned and wisest of men, in the present age, living a life of Celibacy? And for what reason ? Because pleasure i9 not the fruit of Matrimony, nor the source from which it may be de- rived. But the last ( although not the least important) question is, the method which the Ladies are to adopt to render the Bachelors fewer in number. - Education is in a certain de- gree requisite for cultivating the female mind, but only in so far necessary as to make them useful in the sphere in which they are intended to move. It is, however, as common as it is absurd, to see the females in our day, spending years studying arts altogether insufficient to recommend them as proper com- panions through life. Iiow infinitely preferable the study of domestic affairs, and how much mo'e useful than either learn- ing Music or Landscape Painting? But these are considered indispensable accomplishments, and the Other only an acquisiti- on for a servant. But in order to obviate the evil that the Female so bitterly complains of. I would earnestly request her to endea- vour to convince those of her own sex, of the necessity of a re- form, as the best method that can possibly be suggested ; to dis- pense with all superfluous apparel; to learn retrenchment and economy ; and particularly to use the Parasol only when the Sun shines.; and if this should all prove ineffectual, they will at least have one consolation, that the fault cannot be justly im- puted to them. The insertion of these remarks, in your valuable pnperv will confer an obligation on, Sir, your obedient servant, Galloivgate, July 24, 1822. " A BACHELOR.

NAPOLEON'S VIEWS OF THE POLICY OF ENGLAND AND RUSSIA. " I11 the course of a few years," said Bonaparte, " Russia wi'il have Constantinople, the greatest part of Turkey, ant) all Greece. This i hold to . be as certain as if it had already taken place. Almost all the cajoling and flattering which Alexander practised towards me was to gain my consent to effect this object. I would not consent, foreseeing that the equilibrium of Europe would be destroyed. In the natural course of things,' in a few year3 Turkey must fall to Russia. The greatest part of her population are Greeks, who you may say are Rus- sians. The powers it would injure, and who could oppose it, are England, France, Prussia and Austria. Now to Austria, it would be very easy for Russia to engage her assistance by giving her Servia, and other provinces bordering upon the Austrian dominions, reaching near to Constantinople. The only hypothesis that France and England may ever be allied with sincerity will lie in order to prevent this. But even this alliance would not avail. France, England, and Prussia united cannot pre- vent it. Russia and Austria can at any time effect it. Once mistress of Constantinople, Russia gets all the commerce of the Mediterranean, becomes a great naval power, and God knows what may happen. She quarrels with you, marches off to India an army of seventy thousand good soldiers, which to Russia is nothing, and a hundred thousand canaille, Cossacs and others, and England loses India. Above all the other powers, Russia is 1 he most to be feared, especially bv vou. Her sol- diers are braver than the Austrians, and slie has the means of raising as many as she pleases. In braverv, the French aud English soldiers are the only ones to be com- pared to them. All this I foresaw. 1 see into futurity farther than others, and I wanted to establish a barrier against those barbarians by re- establishing the kingdom of Poland and putting Poniatovvski at the tieJd of it as king ; but your imbeciles of Ministers would not consent A hundred years' hence, I shall be" praised ( entense,; and Europe especially England, will lament that 1 tiki iiot succeed.

" No, no," said Napo- leon, " I do not believe it. You are too rich, atld too fond of money. A nation will hot so readily burn its capital. IIow often have the Parisians sworn to barn themselves under the ruins of their capital, rather than suffer it to fall into the hands of the enemies of France ;• yet twice it has been taken. There is no knowing what would have happened, Mr. Doctor. Neither Pitt, Sor vou, r. or I, could have foretold what would have been' the result. The hope of a change for the better, and a di- vision of property, would have operated wonderfully amongst the canaille, particularly that'of London. The canaille of all rich nations are alike. 1 would have made such promises as would have bad a great effect. \\ hat. resistance could an undisciplined army make against mine, in a country like England, abounding in plains ?

I would have abolished flog - ging, and promised vour seamen every thing; which would have made a great impi- ession upon their minds. The proclamation, stating that we came only as friends, to relieve the English from an obnoxious and despotic aristocracy, whose object was to keep the nation eter- nally at war, in order to enrich themselves and their fa « milies with . the blood of the people ; together with the proclaiming a republic, the abolition of the Monarchical Government, and of the nobility ; tile declaration of the forfeiture of the property of the latter, and division of it among the partisans, of the revolution, with a general equalization of property, would havogauned me the sup- port of the canaille, and of all the idle, the profli- gate, and the disaffected in'the Kingdom." I took the liberty of stating, that on account if Franc* having been lately revolutionized, thete was a great divi- sion of opinion among the Freiich, and consequently lioS so strong a national spirit as was to be found among the English ; that from the late frequent vicissitudes in France the people contemplated a change in government with less concern than the English would do ; that if the English were not to burn their Capital, as the Russians had done, in all probability they would have defended it, street bv street; and his army would have ijiet the fato that oilrs had experienced at Ro etta and Buenos Ayres.

She went to the Infirmary, where it was dressed, but subsequently neglecting it, and again getting extremely drunk, it became so much worse that she was obliged, on Friday, to be taken into the Infir- mary as an in patient. It was, however, too late. A mortification took place, and she died on Sundavthe 12th.

SBCRBtS OF TRADE.— In a trial which took place in the Court of Common Pleas oit Wednesday last, where the plaintiff was a tailor, and the defendant an insolvent tnan oFfashion, the following disclosure took place :— Coiiwscl " Were there not two of the coats that did rot. fit ?— Witness—" They did not fit the head."— Cotmsei-^-" The head 1 I thought coats were usually made to fit the baiW ¥ " Witness begged he might not be compelled to disclose secrets of trade. The question was pressed. Witness.—" We often make coats which fit extremely but some fault is found, and they are sent batik to he altered. In such a c?. se, we say they do not fit the head. We keep them a proper time, and then send them back untouched, when they are found to be just the thing, and to fit delightfully." The late Archdeacon Paley, who had naturally a weak voice, submitted to the Church- wardens of Dalston, near Carlisle, ( of which parish he was the vicar,) the propriety of having a sounding- board over his pulpit. While the matter was discussing in the vestry, " Oh !" Said a thrifty farmer, " if the Doctor would hut speak as loud in the pulpit as he does at christenings and on tithe- davs, I think there Would be no occasion to put the parish to the expences of a sounding- board." The Doctor, with his characteristic mildness, said, " Friend, vou are mistaken ; you hear much better out of the church than in it; when a man's worldly business is con- cerned, he is so sharpeared, that lie can hear even a whisper ; but the preacher needs the voice of John the Baptist to rouse sleepers." This silenced the satirical farmer, who felt conscious of having frequently indulged in a nap during the Doctor's sermons. A sailor not long ago going into a grog shop in Water- ford, called for a glass of grog. The rum and water were at once placed before him, and he mixed theni. After taking the first sup, he called for an additional glass of rum. It was brought anil thrown into the glass ; but on tasting this, he burst oiit a- laughing. " Win', boy," said he, " your Waterford tvatef is right good." " O yes, Sir," replied the attendant, " it is counted as good as anv in Ireland. " " Ay," said the tar, " and d d strong, too ! for all the world over, I have heard that one rum takes three waters ; but your watef is so stout that one water takes three ruins."— Literary Gazette* UMPERTAL $ J) ARLTATMNT* HOUSE OF LORDS, Monday, July 15. SOUTH AMEIIICA— COMMEUCfi. The Marquis LANSDOWNE, adverting to the notice lie had given some days since, said, it was highly important to know whether— if his Majesty's Ministers had not yet come to the determination of formally r<? Co£ « ism£ the independent Go- vernments of South America— whether they had or not adopted measures for the protection of our commerce with those States, without our merchants being liable to the loss and detriment of having vessels seized uuder any orders from the Government of Old Spain. The Earl of LIVERPOOL said, as to the question with with reference to measures for the protection of the trade with South America, the facts were, that in IS18and 1S19, when Spain discontinued all further measures for the subjection of her colonies, it was then arranged with the Spanish Govern- ment, that the trade of this country and our colonies with the Spanish colonies, as de facto independent States of South America, should be freely carried on, it being stipulated, that in the event of the Government of Spain again obtaining the full sovereign authority in any of those colonies, due notice should be given to this country of any intention to impose re- strictions upon such trade. As to the question of the formal recognition of the de facto independent States of South Ame- rica, it involved a number of considerations into which he could not enter. Wednesday, July 17. MASSACRE AT SCIO. Earl GROSVENOR rose. He said he trusted he should induce the House to agree with him in the manner in which he viewed the subject on which he was about to address their Lordships, and not only that, but also that, he should induce his Majesty's Ministers to alter that line of policy which they had unfortunately adopted. Their Lordships had been oc- cupied in discussions on the distress of the landed interest in this count! y, and in the unparalleled distress of Ireland ; they had also been occupied in discussing the state of that most dis- graceful traffic, { W slaVe trad", which srt Wiuch to ' their lord ships' honour, Cterhfcving abolished in this country. theV had beet* endeavouring to pftt an £ n* d to in other parts of th'e world. He trusted their Lordships VvouU} not think it nnwoV'thv of their^ ignity to consider tf& State of those iVnfortunate slaves, whose wretched sinUtion excited the greatest h< jrror through- out Europe. It wa&' of no moment to iiVquire whether the war which had arisen in Turkey, took place from & spontaneous feeling of the oppressed Greeks ; whether it was in involuntary impulse to shake off a most detestable system ; or whether Ypsilanti had been an agent of Russia in exciting it, with a view of ultimately turning thv troubles to the benefit of that country* It Was not his intention to go into any matter of that sort, but to confine himself to the motion of Which he had given notice* Their Lordships were awdre of the abominable cruellies committed by the Turks on the unfortunate Greeks. As cowardice was ever allied to cruelty, they had perpetrated the barbarous massacre of the hostages confined at Scio, just at the moment when it was understood there was no longer appre- hension of hostilities taking place with Russia. It had been stated that the Minister from England, and the Ministers from other Powers, had made a representation to the Porte, and a pledge had beeXi obtained by the English Minister, that the cruelties which were anticipated should not take place. The statement had got abroad and had not been contradicted. He ( Earl G.) would not go the length of saying that such a pledge being obtained and being broken was a just cause of war ; but he contended that it would gratify this country and every coun- try in Europe, in withdrawing from all communication with such a detestable, such a contaminated race. It would justify the drawing round Turkey a cordon sanit aire, much more than anv circumstances existing, in Spain could justify that accursed < cordon sanilaire, which, in his conscience, he believed was drawn round that country under the influence of the soi- disanl Holy Alliance, and which he believed had occasioned the re- cent lamentable events in Madrid. If Ministers maintained that this was no cause of war, or withdrawing all communica- tion with that detested race, they were at least bound not to shew any partiality to them ; yet there were strong grounds of suspicion that such a partiality existed. Look at the Turkish frigatv which had been supplied in the ports of this country with provisions and warlike stores, and say whether that was impartiality. Whatever fears might be entertained of the views of Russia, as regarded Poland or the North Seas, with regard to the Greeks he had no apprehensions; but whatever risk tlreye might be from Russia, he would rather incur it than see the Turks succeed, after their atrocious cruelty to the Greeks. The Noble Lord concluded by moving— That copies of all dis- patches received from his Majesty's Minister at Constantinople stimild be laid before the House. The Earl of LIVERPOOL said, he should feel it his duty to oppose the motion, which, if not absolutely without any precedent, yet he was sure if any precedent existed, it could only have been granted by the inadvprtence of those whose duty it was to oppose it, as the motion could not stand on any ground of principle whatever. He was ready to admit that where any fault of omission or commission existed in the case of any Ambassador or agent of the Crown, it would, if fairly stated, be a ground for a parliamentary inquiry. But see how the question stood ; « great act of cruelty and injustice had lyeen com " fitted by the Government of Turkey against their own subjects. But on what ground could this country, as a matter of right, interfere between a foreign country and its own subjects? To what extent would such a principle go if it were ever to be admitted ? Some persons might see in the events passing in Spain grounds for a motion, and the events which took place in France would, according to that principle, have called for interference long before this country was dispos- ed to become a party to the war against her. To make the case our own was the surest way of judging. Suppose there were to break out an insurrection in this country, which should be put down by the Government with great violence and cruelty, what would the House say if the Ministers of France or Spain were to interfere between the Government and its own sub- jects? Doubts had been entertained of the right of foreign states to interfere at all in the internal affairs ofother countries; he had always held there were cases in which a foreign country might so interfere, but that interference always grew out of circumstances which affected the safety of the country interfer- ing. He did not mean to say that if a great act of cruelty were apprehended, and a Btitish Ambassador, by the exertion of his personal influence, and guided only by the feelings of humanity, could interfere to prevent it, that he was not called upon to do it, but not asa matter of right. If the House now interferred, it would prevent the exertion of any such influence in future, as it was grounded on no public law. The N.> ble Lord had alluded to the Slave Trade, but that was not an in- terference between sovereign and subject, but it was between independent states, and those which. ought to have been consi- dered as independent, states, for over the nations of Africa the states of Europe had no right to exercise any influence. At the peace we restored many Colonies which we had taken during the war, and with respect to the Powers to whom that restitu- tion vvas made, we had a right to annex conditions. This was not a question in which he should feeJ it to- be his duty to enter into any discussion upon the contest between the Turks and the Greeks. Undoubtedly scenes had taken place horrible to humanity ; but though in the transactions at Scio the Turks I^ ad been the first to set the example of those horrors, yet in other instances the example of such horrors bad been set by the Greeks, though, undoubtedly, that was no palliation of the horrors which were afterwards transacted at Scio. The Noble Lord had alluded to the case of the Turkish frigate, but he ( Lord L..) contended that in that respect we had maintained the most rigid impartiality. The vessel in < mestion came from the Pacha of Egypt ( before the insurrection in the Morea) to this country, partly laden with merchandise, and partly laden with curiosities for the British Museum. She brought these articles as a merchant vessel, and was supplied with provisions which were necessary for her, but when she applied for arms, that was positively refused. Lord HOLLAND said there was a precedent for his Noble Friend's motion, which the Noble Earl himself had furnished, during the discussion of the affiirsof Naples, when he laid on their table the correspondence of Sir Wm. A'Court. The question which the Noble Lord ( Grosvenor) had asked had not been answered. He asked if it were true that certain Greek hostages had been guaranteed, and after wards butchered ? and he jiut it to the House, whether, if such were the case, they would not think that some measure ought to betaken, in con- sequence of the breach of that guarantee. He certainly thought that no man who had common feeling but must feel great in- terest in the contest which was going on, not that he wished to intimate any opinion of what should be the conduct of Great Britain in the contest between the Turks and the Greeks, but he would say, that if there was any suspicion that this country was partial to the cause of those who held some of the fairest parts of the globe in the most torrid slavery, it was incumbent on Ministers to refute it. The Earl of LITERPOdL said, he had not understood the Noble Lo> d ( Grosvenor) to have asked whether any guar- antee had been given by our Ambassador for the safety of the Greek hostages, but he had no hesitation in saying that no such guarantee had ever been given. The motion of Lord GROSVENOR was then negatived without a division. HOUSE OF COMMONS; Monday, July 15. THE CAUSE OF THE GREEKS. Sir J. MACKINTOSH said, he held in his hand a peti- tion from certain persons in the county of Lancaster, praying that some assistance might be afforded to the suffering Greeks. The petitioners expressed themselves in warm and forcible language upon this subject; but they did not forget that respect and decorum due to the House of Commons. lie could Jiot, for himself, help expressing a w ish that the powers of Europe wotiid make a simultaneous effort ift favour of that brave and persecuted people.—( Hear, hear.) Such an effort, if made, must be successful j but. were it- made by England alone, even her failure would redound to her honour and her character.— ( Hear, hear.) Mr. II UME wished to take that opportunity of asking the Noble Lord, whether it was true that the suffering Greeks, from various parts, who had sought refuge in the Ionian Islands, had been refused an asylum by order of the Govern- ment ? Much as he had been opposed to that Government he never could imagine it capable of such wanton cruelty ; and he hoped that by asking the question, he merely gave Mini- sters an opportunity of contradicting the report. He wished also to to call the attention of the Noble Marquis to the circum- stance of a Turkish frigate being at this moment repairing and fitting out with arms, stores, & c. at Deptford. Mr. WI LMOT was not aware of any refusal to shelter Greeks having taking place in the Ionian Islands. There had been no such order issued by the Government. Mr. HUTCHINSON, after pointing out, in most forcible terms, the barbarous cruelties practised by the Turks, called upon the House not to separate for the Session, without com- pelling Ministers to satisfy Parliament, that the Greeks now in the power of the Turks were safe. Unless this were done, he should be of opinion that the peace between Russia and the Porte had only been effected for the purpose of better enabling the latter to prosecute with better success its cruelties upon the unhappy Greeks. Mr. VVILBERFORCE having been applied to by the Hon. Gentleman, begged to assure him', that for the cause of the unhappy Greeks, it was impossible that any one could feel more warmly than himself.— ^ flear.)— Indeed, he should hope that there could he but one / eeling among generous and enlightened and Christian minds on their behalf. It was, in truth, rather a disgrace to all the powers of Europe, that long ere now they had not made a simultaneous effort, and driven back a nation of barbarians, the ancient and inveterate enemies < vT ChrlSlianity and freedom, into Asia. He w> a « at all times far, indeed, from advocalnig war ( more especially where to undertake it was to expose the resources and the welfare of the state to immediate hazard), unless indved peace could only be acquired at the price of disgrace and infamy. At the. same time he must declare, that lie knt » ^/ of no case lA which the power of a mighty country like England could be More nobly, more generously, or more justifiably exerted, than in rescuing the Greeks from bondage and destruction, ( hear.) The Marquis of LONDONI> ERRYsaid, the Hon. Mem- ber had at length disclosed to the House the problem by which he proposed to {^ iiiet and tranquillize all Europe ; and that was by sending about 5.000,000 of Turks into Asia', Now,, whatever the Hon. Member might think of the humanity of the Turks, he certainly ought to know that they would not be very likely to obey this sentence of transportation which he was inclined to pronounce against them. The Noble Marquis was not prepared to go alo^ ig with the Hon. Member in say- ing. that this country ougbt to take tip arms in support of the Greeks; but he could assure the House,, that Ministers had done their iHmost to recommend conciliatory and pacific mea sures to the Turkish Government. But Hon. Members seemed to run away with the fact, that there was nothing but cruelty and persecution practise 1 by the Turks; while, on the side of the Greeks, all was suffering and amiability. He regretted to say that this was not the fact. It had unfortu- nately come to his knowledge, that there were as many and as systematic acts of ferocity and of cruelty practised on the one side as on the other. Sir II. WILSON observed, that if the Noble Lord would simply consent to repeal the Foreign Enlistment Bill, he had no doubt but the Greeks would soon receive such assistance as would enable them to achieve that liberty for which they were now so gallantly struggling. Lord A. HAMILTON said, if we do not at once assist the Greeks in their struggle for liberty, we are at least bound in honour to preserve a fair, hone3t bona fide neutrality. Sir R. WILSON asked, if the Greek flag would be re- spected by British Commanders, in the same manner as the South American flag, on the footing of neutral intercourse? The Marquis of LONDONDERRY said, that as far as he knew, the strictest neutrality had been observed by the Go- vernment of the Ionian Isles, and there could be no better proof of it than'tkat we were equally suspected of partiality by the Turks and ( J^ v^ eks. The British ships of war in the Me- diterranean had % spectn.' the Greek as milch as the Turkish flag. It was competent to any Government to make their own arrangements in- their own ports in regard to Bellige" ent. s, provided that they Observed the same regulations to b. ith powers. He would not now stop to debate the question, as to whether Greece was a power properlv recognised as such. The Petition was ordered to be printed TRADE WITH SOUTH AMERICA. Lord LONDONDERRY said he would take this oppor- tu. nitv of stati ng, tii< it ho h, iH intjuirefi into the case of the st'izure of the Lord CoHingwond, trading vessel, in iier passage to Buenos Ayres, by the Spanish authorities, and her subsequent condemnation, on the ground that she had on board prohibit- ed articles. Upon an investigation of the circumstances, his Majesty's Government had caused representations to be made to the Spanish Government, of the determination on the part of our Government to protect our trade with that country. Sir J. MACKINTOSH expressed his satisfaction at this explanation on the part of the Noble Marquis. IRISH INSURRECTION ACT. Mr. GOLXBURN moved the third reading of the Irish Insurrection Act. After a short discussion, in which several Members took part, the Bill was read a third time and passed. CONSULS IN THE BRAZILS. On the reading of the Order of the Day for the House re- solving itself into a Committee of Supply, Mr. HUME said, the merchants had complained, and complained very justly, that the Consul- General of Erauil had for six years been in the receipt of the very'extravagant sum of 90001. or 10 0001. a- year. These merchants had to pay one per cent, namely, half out and half in, to the Consuls, upon every article which they had at that market; and this the Consuls received in addition to pretty handsome salaries.— This had been complained of in 1818; and in the month of March that year, the Noble Marquis had sent out a letter, forbidding that the exaction should be to so large an amount, and that the percentage should cease; but one month after- wards, that letter bad been countermanded. In the six years up to 1820. the Consul- General at Rio Janeiro alone had re- ceived 57.5671., and by accounts which he had received, as well as from the petitions of those who had been suffering in consequence of those extravagant payments, the whole sum paid to the Consuls during that period hail Iwen upwards of 90,0001. Even this sura, great as it was, was not the whole, nor perhaps more than two thirds of what was paid, as it did not include the cxactihns by the Vice- Consuls, who, he understood, farmed the rites, did the duly, and exacted what lees they chose. These Vice- Consuls, instead of protecting the merchants against the exactions of the Portuguese Govern- ment, went ha' I in ha;> d in . encouraging that Government. The duty payable to the Government was ad valtrcm, and it was the interest of the Consuls that this duty should be as large as possible, because it regulated their own ad mtarem, fees. Thus the whole system, for which so much of the public money was paid, and so heavy a burden laid upon the trade of the country, was of no use to that trade, and it operated as a premium in favourof the'rival trade ofihe United States. He hoped the House would not vote a single shilling till this monstrous grievance was reduced. ]' he Hon. Member con- cluded by moving an amendment to the resolution. The Marquisof LONDONDERRY would admit that the facts were strong; but still he thought that the statement of the Hon. Gentleman must be exaggerated. It had been said that the Consol- General had received upon the average 90001. a- year; now the fact was, that his original allowance was to be 75001. The arrangements for the paying of part of it by an allowance of one- half per cent, had been made on the re- commendation of the merchants : and government had inter- fered to prevent the real receipts from exceeding this by re- ducing the Consul's quantities of fees. He was compelled to give his decided negative to the amendment. Mr. BARING thought it impossible that our merchants could compete with those of other nations, when they laboured under so heavy an exaction. Mr. II UME withdrew his amendment, and the House re- solved itself into a Committee of Supplv. NATIONAL MONUMENT OF SCOTLAND. Lord BINNING moved, that the petitions for 10.0001. in aid of the National Monument of Scotland, be referred to the Committee. Mr. HUME would put it to the House, if this was the time to encourage, by a gift of 10,0001. of the pubJic money, the building of a Parthenon upon the Calton HiH at Edin- burgh ? The 100,0001. out of which this money was proposed to be taken, had been voted, not to build I'arthenoiW but churches. Sir R. WILSON thought the time improper. When the whole country was suffering, and when numbers of the Irish were starving, was that a time for building monuments to commemorate victories which had been gained under circum- stances which were n « t altogether grounds of thanksgiving to the God of Peace ? If the thing had been to be a trophy to - Jupiter Tonatls, it might have done, but it had little connec- tion with thc- Christian religion, for the advancement of which the 100.0001. had been voted. Mr. W. K.. Douglas spoke in favour of the grant, and Mr. H. Glirney and Mr. Monck against it. Mr. G. BENNET said, he held in his hand a circular, which he understood had been sent round to the Members, earnestly requesting their attendance on Monday evening, to support, in the Committee of Supply, the grant of JO. OOOl. for the erection of a national monument in Scotland, ( hear.) If the people of Edinburgh had a fancy to exhibit their taste to the world, he thought it but fair that they should indulge it at their own expense, and not out of the pockets of the people of England. Mr. C. GRANT suggested the propriety of adjourn- ing the debate until next Session. The grant of 10,0001. for the erection of splendid buildings in Edinburgh was a gross misapplication of the public money. When he heard such a grant mentioned, he could not help looking to various parishes in the Highlands, some of which were 40 miles in extent, and without a parish- church. The question ought to have been submitted to the General Assembly, as had been done before. When in England grants had been made for the building of churches, they were handed over to Commissioners, who em- ployed them on their own responsibility. Why, he would ask, was not the same arrangement made with respect to Scotland ? Or, rather, why should 10,0001. be afforded to that country without any responsibility at all ? Lord BINNING said, there was a great want of churches both in Edinburgh and Leith ; where, notwithstanding the great increase of population, within these few years, only one new church had been built. Sir W. W. WYNN objected to the grant of 10,0001. as too large a sum, though he approved of the application of a fair and reasonable amount to such purposes. After a few words from Mr. T. Wilson, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, anil Mr. Maberley, Lord BINNING consented to withdraw his motion. Tuesday, July 16. There being only 58 Members present at four o'clock, the House adjourned till to- morrow. Wednesday, July 17. Mr. BROUGHAM presented a petition from J> hn Law- less. proprietor of the Irishman newspaper, published at Bel fast, complaining ot the annoyance occasioned on the 12th of k July by the processions of Orangemen on that day, and of the supineness bf the Irish SoVernmen't In not putting tlofrn this dangerous nuisance and spirit of party, and praying the House to interfere. A , Mr. S, RICE expressed his regret that, after his Majesty's gracious letter and dechirallon, anil after all which had already taken plate oti this subject, these practices, so Calculated to keep up party spirit And mischief in t.;. u unfortunate country should still be suffered to continue. Sir J. M ACKIN r'OSIi expressed his srtrpVlse and indig- nation at such practices being continued. He was more sur- prised that a party, who pretended to venerate the character of King William the Third, should be the promoters of prac- tices so disgraceful to the memory of that Prince. Mr. GOUI, B li li X assured the House tint no man could regret these practices nYore than he did. With respect to what had recently occurred lie had received no official information. He believed, however, the accounts which had reached us had been greatly exaggerated'. S; r G. HILL deprecated thescpractices, and assured the House those who might be considered as most interested in the ' question had. exerted themselves to the utmost to put an end to them. Mr. HUTCHINSON wished to know whether the L ml Lieutenant, as the law now stood, had power to put down such proceedings. If he could not, the House ought not to separate till they had armed his Excellency with such a power.— Tile petition was then read. BREACH OF PRIVILEGE. Mr. COUltTENAY then moved the order of the day for the attendance of John Hope, Esq. at the bar. The SPEAKER inquired of the Sergeant whether Mr. Hope was in attendance. The Sergeant replied in the affirmative. If Was then order- ed that Mr. Hope should be called in ; and, on his appearance at the bar, The SPEAKER said—" Mr. Hope, on the 9th of July, complaint was made to the House of a certain printed letter, containing comments on the speech of a Member, Mr. Aber- cromby. The House voted that letter a breach of privilege ; will you take that letter in your hand, and say if you are its aulh. ir," The publication was then handed to Mr. ' Hope. Mr. HOPE acknowledged'himself to be the author of the Ieiter. The SPEAKER—" Having acknowledged yourself the author, what have you to say in your excuse." Mr. HOPE then addressed the House in a speech of con- siderable length. In its commencement he was inaudable in the gallery, but, as far as we could understand, he acknowledg- ed thai some parts of the letter might be constructed info a breach of privilege, but he trusted it could only be so con- structed in a technical sense. He declared he had the most sincere respect for all the privileges of that House, which he considered as the privileges of the people, and, feeling the greatest deference for the House, he had felt the greatest pain, when he'eonsidered that the course he was bound to take might be soconstructed ; butthe House was aware of the facts of the case, and he declared that the letter was not intended as a breach of the privileges of the House, but as a justifkaiiott of his own professional character, against a. mi., representationt most extraordinary as he conceived, made by a Member of that House. The charge against him was, that of having instituted a malicious prosecution, a charge most revolting to a man of honour, and, from the plausibility with . which it was made, rendered the charge the more serious, and dangerous to his reputation as a gentleman and a professional man. The im putatioas contained in the speech in question were most dan- gerous and destructive to his prospects as a professional man. and most destructive to his character as a gentleman. These calumnies had been circulated in the most extensive manner, namely, by insertion in the public papers ; and how could he rest, without attempting to refute them in a manner equally public ? To those individuals engaged in more important concerns it might not perhaps occur how dangerous and de- structive of the reputation and prospects of a private and hum- ble individual, such statements, made by such authority, and coming through such a channel, were. In the remote parts of the kingdom the impression made by the public press was irresistible, and he had felt himself called onto reply in as public a manner as possible. If there were any warm expres- sions in that letter beyond what the occasion warranted, he had now to regret it ; and. most sincerely did he regret, it as regard- ed the House ; hut in other respects he must say he had felt as an independent advocate, and as a British subject, and as such he had expressed himself ; and with these observations lie would leave himself and his cause in the hands of the House. [ This address was received with loud cheerings, which con- tinued for some time ; after it had ceased,] The SPE A KER ordered Mr. Hope to withdraw. Sir R. WILSON must declare his surpiise at the expres- sion which had followed the speech of the individual who had just quitted the bar. How could it be expected that a fair judgment could be exercised in this case, when a number of the judges declared their opinions so prematurely—( hear, hear, hear.) Mr. COURT EN AY then moved that Mr. Hope, having acknowledged himself the author of the letter in question, had been guilty of a breach of privilege. On the SPEAKER putting the question. Sir F. BURDETT rose to deliver his sentiments. Tie had a I way considered this meddling with the question of breach of privilege as most dangerous to the real respectability and just power ofthat House. In the present case he could see no breach of privilege at all ; here were observations upon a pu- blished speech of a Member of the House. If the House was determined not to suffer a comment on a printed speech, they must not suffer their speeches to be published. It'it was a breach of privilege, it was due arising out of their own fault, in suffering the daily breach committed by the public press.— As things now rested, no one connected with the public press was safe for a moment. He should contend, however, as he had done before, that the House bad not this privilege against its fellow subjects ; the privilege was given them against the Crown, and not against their fellow subjects. The House indeed did not assume to itself a power of trying any individual for this offence, but it did what was much worse, it committed to close confinement during pleasure, and this too at a time when they suffered their own Members, as was the case of a N ble Lord opposite, to commit the grossest breaches of their privileges without inflicting any punishment whatever, or even censure. The Hon, Baronet proceeded to comment on the nature of the breach of privilege now imputed to Mr. Hope, . and declared that if any punishment ofthat gentleman was pro- posed, be it ever so slight, he should oppose it, and take the sense of the House upon it. Mr. S. WOK I'LEY was of a similar opinion. lie thought, if they permitted their speeches to be published, they must, if they made observations on the conduct of individuals, permit such individuals to justify themselves if they could. It would be the height, of injustice to expect that an individual was to continue to labour under so great ail injury till chance should justify him. He had agreed to this publication alone being a breach of privilege, but he desired to be taken as not pledging himself to any subsequent proposition which might be founded upon it. Mr. CANNING expressed himselfshortly on this Important question. The House had decided this letter to he a breach of privilege, and thus he was bound by that decision, but he should oppose any, the slightest punishment. Mr. Hope was then declared giiiltyof a breach of privilege. Mr. COURTENAY said, every ono would agree that privilege of speech in tlia. t House was necessary for the good of the people. In the present instance, he had been induced to call the attention of' the House to the publication, to prevent the serious consequences which he apprehended from a personal rencontre between the parties. Mr. Hope had now given an explanation satisfactory to the House, and therefore he thought the House should not press the matter farther against him, and, in pursuance of that opinion, he should now move as a resolu- tion, That the Speaker be directed to communicate to Mr. Hope that the House had voted him guilty of a breach of pri- vilege, but. in consideration of the explanation he had given at the bar of the House, would proceed no farther against him. Sir R. WILSON thought this a most dangerous breach of privilege, as tending to personal violence. If Members were to be thus attacked no one not disposed to act the part of a gladiator must enter. He thought Mr. Hope should be bound by the House not to proceed farther iu a peisonal respect to- wards his Hon. Friend. Sir R. I'ERGUSSON was, of the same opinion. Mr. BROUGHAM said this publication differed from a comment in a newspaper report. It was a direct attack upon a Member of Parliament, and imputed to that Member that he had said things in his place which a Member of Parliament would not have been allowed to say in his place of another Member without being called to order. Me did not wish to bear hard on Mr. Hope, but he must not say out of the House what a Member could not say in, and then escape even with- out an apology. Lord BINNING had hoped that they were nearer the end of this unpleasant business than now appeared lo be the case. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY and Mr. ABER- CROMBY rose together. The call of the House wave the preference to the latter Gentleman, and the Marquis ac- quiesced. Mr. ABERCROMBY declined all participation in. the ar- gument upon the motion itself. He proposed to make some allusion to a few of the facts to which he meant very narrowly to confine his observations. He apologised for having been the occasion of occupying, much against his will, so much of the time and attention t » f the House. Painful as it had been to him to make the statement he had formerly submitted, and painful as was the retrospect of all which had taken place upon it, he felt still as he did before, that his duty compelled him to adopt the course he had taken. Much had been urged re- specting the tfleet produced on the reputation, honour, and professional vnhvs of Mr. Hope by p. irfs oF tint statement.— He had only obeyed his sense of duty, and he did not consider himself responsible as a Member, of that House for any thing he said therd to any parties elsewhere. He had, therefore, never authorised any one to offer ap explanation to parties supposing themselves aggrieved nut of the Ilouse. though he readily admitted the responsibility within the walls for any thing he might say. He mi^ ht avail himself of many, facts ana Circumstances to justify his conduct beyond those which were already adduced, but lie,. had other reasons( besides his ankiety not to protract this discussion for refraining. He would limit himself to an explanation on the facts already brought forward. lie affirmed positively on the must mature recollection, that in liis statement he had represented the cir cumstances so often alluded to thus : be had read a passage of a document, on which he intended, to rely— which was nothing else than a copy of Mr. Stuart's trial. After mentioning that the names of two SheriftV Deputes were affixed to it. ha had said that be did not know what responsibility attached to Mr. Hope and Mr. M'Neil. as public officers in the con- duct of the caseT— hut it was quite indifferent for his argument," it was enough for him that they were both Sheriffs' Deputes, and that they were connected with those very transactions which had produced that fatal consequence upon which S'uart was about to be brought to trial. lie \ Vould admit that- he was not aware of the practice which had been described of one Advocate formally signing for another. ' J'he paper had been read to him by a friend before he thought of bringing forward this statement. When he was preparing to make it, he had only the recollection of the circumstances to trust to; and had. therefore, guarded his observations with that remark, that he knetv not what responsibility belonged to the Advo- cates, from their having signed the paper, though it made no difference in his argumetlt. Another fact had been complete- ly misrepresented. It had been said that it was necessary to his statement to fix Mr. Hope as Counsel in the trial of Mr. Stuart, in order to serve the purposes which he was supposed to have connected with the case of lJurthwi k. He had never relied on that fact in any way He h id > J! a e I the c isi of IJ - rthwick as one which he still believed to be of great and unjustifiable hard- ship. After some further counter explanation of the circum- stance. he observed that if after his statement any one had com- plained to him of misconstruction or misrepres ntation. or error. of any. kind in a way which it would have bo en become ing iu him to acknowledge, he would have tjo^ e ! liis head willingly to such correction, ITe would leave it to the House, if there was « ny thing in his gefterd coidu- ct or an lerstandhig, which would have ever led him to withhold any proper and be- coming acknowledgment for error or misinterpretation in:<* which lie might be brought—( Hear, hear.)— He had allalon^ r been anxious to reconcile his duty as a Member of the Ilouse, with the proper considetation of what was due to his own hou- our. He would have considered it perfectly consistent with these views to have made any explanation or acknowledgment sought from him in a proper manner. The Hon, and Learn- ed Gentleman sat down amidst loud cheers. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY expressed his hopes that the warmth of the explanation indulged in by his* Noh! e Friend and the lion, and Learned Member for VVinchelsea, would not interrupt the cordial agreement to wln'oh the House, but for that, would have come. lie had great confidence in the general good temper, sense, and moderation observed on the question. He declined any consideration of that view of their privileges offered consistently enough by the Hon. Baro- net, Member for Wes- minster. The House was bound to re- collect that this was a breach of privilege arising out of a breach of privilege— namely, the custom of allowing the debates to- be published— a practice which was now become essential to the progress of the public interests. From this they must expect . some small degree of inconvenience. His Lordship entered into an argument in extenuation of the conduct of Mr. Hopev who had evidently no intention of committing any breach of tl\ eir privileges. He considered, that though there was no direct admonition in the Resolution, yet to a mind of any de- licacy there was iu the circumstances of the case a substantial reprimand. After a long discussion, in which Mr. Tierney, Mr. Wynne* Mr. Canning, and Sir James Mackintosh took part. Mr- B ROUGH A M asked if the Hon. Mover ( Mr. Cour- tenay) would adopt the suggestion of the IIo « t Member for Kuaresborough ( Mr. Tierney). Its adoption would prevent much inconvenience. Mr. COURTENAY said, that he should have no dif- ficulty in annexing the words suggested by the Hon. Mem- ber, viz.— That the Speaker inform Mr. Hope, that under the circumstances of the case, and taking into the consideration the explanation given by tnm at the bar, and the regret which lie had expressed for the violation of the privileges of Parlia- ment, the House did not feel it necessary to proceed farther hi the business." The resolution was carried— one or two voices being only raised against it. Mr. Hope was then called in, and being placed at the bar, The SPEAKER said— Mr. Hope, I am directed to rea< l to yoif the following resolution : — " Thftt John Hope,. Esq. having acknowledged himself tJUs author of the said letter, is guilty of a breach of the privileges of this House. And I have farther to inform you. that und « r all the circumstances of the case, and having taken into con- sideration the explanation given by you at the bar, and tHe expression of regret at the violation of its privileges, this Ilouse does not feel itself called on to proceed farther with this matt r. You may withdraw. Mr. Hope then b » wed, and retired. Mr. COURTENAY then moved for Menzies to be called in. Mr. Menzies wa « accordingly placed at the Bar. The SPEAKER inforimd him, that in cons quence of a complaint made of a letter published in the Courier of Mon- day the 8th in - t. which was declared to be a breach of ( he pri- vileges of the House, an order had been issued for bringing him to the bar to answer for the same. He directed him to look. at the letter, . and say if it was his. Mr. Meneies acknowledged the letter to be his. The SPEAKER asked him if he ha I any explanation to offer fur having committed that breach of piivilege ? Mr. Menz; es declared that he had always felt the most pro- , found respect for the character and privileges of the House, and nothing could have given him greater pain than when he found he had committed a violation of them, and incurred the displeasure of the House. He then went over the circum- stances of the correspondence between him and Mr. Aber- cromby, and described thpm much as they have already gone before the public. Finding himself grossly injured by a state- ment which he knew to be entirely unfounded, he really had thought himself at liberty to take the means lie did to arrive at explanation, especi ally as Mr. Abercromby had refused to an- swer to any one outside Parliament for that which he uttered within the walls. While he declared the published account to agree substantially with his statement to the House, could he have succeeded in obtaining an explanation by other means, he would not have sought it through the public press. lie as- sured the House that in what he had done he had not the slightest idea or intention of infringing their privileges ; and he would bow with respect to any decision to which the House might come upon his conduct. The SPE A KE R directed him to withdraw. Mr. COURTENAY', conceiving that the House must feci satisfied with the explanation just given, moved that Mr*, Menziesbe discharged from further attendance. Mr, BROUGHAM cordially seconded the motion, which was immediately carried. Thursday, July IS, The LORD ADVOCATE brought in a hill to render the payment of creditors iu Scotland more equal and expeditious. Returns were ordered of the number of Bibles printed for the English and Scotch Universities, from the year 1815 to 1822, and the amount of drawback allowed on paper in that period. C\ SE OF BO RTHWICK. Mr. A BERCROMBY gave notice that he would, on Tues- day next, move for the production of the Correspondence be- tween the Lord Advocate and Mr. Hope, in the case of Air. Borthwick ; and also for a copy of the Opinion of Mr. Hope of the 18th March on the same subject. Friday, July 12. SALT DUTY BILL. On the order of the day for the third reading of the Salt Duty Bill being read, Mr. C. G RAN i declared his objection to retaining any part of the duty. After a few words from Lord Binning and Mr. Calcraft, the Bill was read a third time and passed. ROYAL SCOTS BURGH BILL. On the third reading of the Royal Burghs Account Bilf Mr. HUME, in the absence of* the Hon. Member for ' I'a^ vistock, moved an amended clause, thai the accounts and ap. peals be referred lo the Court of Session instead of the Court of Exchequer. The clause was negatived without a division, anil the Bill was passed. On the third reading of the Scots Burgh Magistrates' Resi- dence liill, Lord BINNING proposed a clause, that the Baillies and a majority of the Town Councilshould reside within the Hurgb, or within three miles of the place of holding the Council. Mr. HUME proposed that the whole of the Council should reside within three miles of the burgh. On this amendment the Ilouse divided— For Mr. Hum amendment, 20— For Lord Bimimg's clause, 25 — Majority, 6. Mr. HUME then proposed the insertion of a clause, pro- viding that no revenue officer should be eligible to becouw » member of the Town Council. On this clause the- House Again divided— Fur the d& iiSe, 20~ Against it. 29^ Majority, 9. , Lord BINNING presented a petition from cerfain journey, rrten printers, stating that they bad he^ n summoned before a Committee of the House, to give evidence relative to the pub- lic printing for the House,, and complaining that, jn conse- quence of the evidence they gave before the Committee, they were immediately discharged by their masters ; that they had since been without employment, arid reduced to very great distress.— Laid on the table. THE TUKKRSRT FRIGATE. Sir B. MARTIN, in answer to what had been asked by the Hon. and Gallant Member f « » r Coventry ( Colonel ttnvics) Respecting the Turkish frigate, described by that tlon Mem- ber as being in a course of warlike preparation, had now to say, that he had seen the order of Mr. Amherst, of October last, giving directions for th( e performance of tha^ work. In one passage the t- fficers of the dock- yard were directed to majce £ ood the requisite ornamental and necessary repairs,'* but they were to take care that in the execution of that order no materials should be supplied which would increase the arma- ment of the vessel. Again, they were directed to effect any alterations desired, " except fitting up the magazine." He ( Sir B. Martin) had made a point of going down to the dock- yard to examine the facts. He found that instead of 56 guns already mounted, and 250 British seamen engaged, the vessel had arrived here with merchandise and only 16 gunft, and that st present there was literally not one gun on board, nor one Englishman engaged for the voyage, excepting a sailing mas- ter. There were indeed 40 men who were working for daily hire, whom he questioned as to their intention of g » » ing out, and they all of them denied that they had any— that they did lk> t intend to enter, The ship came to England as a merchant. Colonel I) A VIES had his information from one who pro- fessed to be engaged as second in command under the Turkish Captain— who said that the ship carried 53 guns, and that she was vo have a complement of 250 British seamen. If he said this out of bravado, that could not be attributed to him ( Col. D.) as an intention to mislead. The third reading of the Alien Bill, after a long debate, was carried by a majority of 75 to 52, FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FROM FRENCH PAPERS. PARTS, Julv 13 It is stated that the bands of Quesada are dispersed, and that the troops in rebellion have been subjected to the legitimate authorities. It is added, that upwards of 40,000 men will arrive from all quarters at Madrid to support the Constitutional Go- vernment. The Captain Pacha is still at Seio, without doing anything; the report, therefore, of his departure for the Morea appears to be preinaturei As the armament of the third expedition is much accelerated, unfavourable reports are circulated respecting the fleet of the Captain Pacha, hilt thev appear to have no foundation. The Janissaries destined to form part of this maritime expedition, have committed in the mean time many ex- cesses ; thev have assassinated in the streets a great num- ber of defenceless Christians. The Porte in vain endea- vours to remedy this disorder: the irritation of these troops is pushed to the highest degree. It is thus essential to the tranquillity of the capital that they should be sent off* without delay. At Scio there is not one stone left upon another. The houses have been demolished, and in some instances the children have been buried alive under the ruins. As to the inhabitants of the island who were at Constantinople, and whom the Porte had ordered to remain there, they were all executed, their property confiscated, and their shops in the Bazaar emptied of their contents The fate of the Greeks who are here is truly deplo- rable ; thev keep themselves shut up in their houses, and the Jews, compassionating them, bring them provisions for money. Two or three davs sometimes pass before these Jews, much tormented themselves, can appear with provisions to save numerous families from death. If a Greek venture to shew himself in the street he runs the risk of his life. The other Christians are also humiliated, and misfortune to him who should attempt to read a posting- bill; he would be the victim of his imprudence. All commerce has ceased. There are only a few shops open at the Bazaar, and these only a few hours in the day. Thus the state of the capital is not tranquillising, and the future gives no better hopes. It is thought tlitt as soon as the Captain Pacha shall have been joined by the third expedition, he will attempt to strike a great How against another island. The consequence will ne- cessarily be the execution of the richest Greeks. JULY 14%— The Count d'Auticlmmp, Commandant of the 11th Division, and one of the Lieutenant- Gene rals Inspectors of the Sanitary Cordon, set out from Paris on Friday night. A special messenger has been sent from the Russian Embassy to Petersburgh. Several couriers have also been sent offfrom the Mi- nistry for Foreign Affairs. The Count Lagrange, Secretary of Embassy, passed on the 10th inst. through Toulouse, proceeding en cou • rier to Madrid. The Prince de Talleyrand has returned from the waters of Bonrbonne to Paris. Jui. Y 16 Letters from Perpignan, of the 6th July, sav— The fort of Barcelona receives every day new troops. The regiment of Cadiz. 2000 strong, that of Malaga, and 800 men from the interior of Spain are oil the extreme frontier ; thev wait for new forces to form definitively a cordon parallel to ours, in order to arrest the insurgents, who endeavour to take refuge ; four com panies of piquelets. raised in Barcelona, and maintain- ed liv that city, are in pursuit of the defenders of the faith, who have been defeated in several rencontres; there is no doubt that these four companies of young vo- lunteers v ill be sufficient to give chacc to the troop of Misas. The insurgents, who had penetrated into Navarre in the hope of raising that province, are entirely destroyed. Fifteen thousand national guards are marching upon Figueras, Roses, and Corunna. It is the commencement of a corps de armec, which is to be employed to watch the movements of our cordon. Misas has reproached a Commandant of our cordon with having permitted the Constitutional soldiers to pass from Lubia to Pnrigarda. The Commandant, in reply, warned him not to present himself again in front of his lines, as he had received orders to repel all the Insurgents who present themselves to a certain distance from the line. I know not whether you are acquainted with an in- famous trait in the conduct of the defenders of the faith. These brigands, on entering a village by force, seize the Mayor, and fastening round him a rope of straw from the feet to the neck, they set fire to the lower part, and dance round their victim with atrocious shouts. CONSTANTINOPLE, June 10— Respecting the hos- tilities between the Turks and Persians, the accounts are contradictory. The Persians are said to have made great progress in Armenia, where they menace Kars and Erzerum. The Turks on the other hand say, they have gained a signal victory in the Pachalic of Bagdad, and that they have retaken Suleimanieh. They assert also, that the wrath of Heaven has visited the Persian town of Kermancheh, in the shape of a dreadful earth- quake, in which 30,000 inhabitants perished. Letters fvom Aleppo speak also of an earthquake which had de- stroyed two- thirds of Mecca, t The affairs of Moldavia and Wallachia are actively dis- cussed in conferences almost daily between the Kadileskier of Komelia and the Kiaya Bey ; but they are enveloped in a veil so impenetrable, that the Deputies of the Bo- yards ( who are otherwise treated very magnificently) cannot communicate with anv foreigner. There is rea- son to believe, upon several grounds, that the Hospo ^ dars of the two Principalities are appointed, but that the Foreign Ambassadors and the public will not be in- formed of it till after the Ramadcn. FRO. V GERM A V PAPERS. ST.

STOCKHOLM, July 2.— Many and various expecta- tions are entertained of the approaching Diet. The time of its meeting is very, remarkable, as all calculations relative to the internal affairs of the kingdom $ rc render- ed very difficult here ; also by the extraordinary depreci- ation of the value of the produce of the soil, which has an injurious effect on the relations of property, right, and morals, and by whit is styled the " calamity of abundance, or over production, of wl'uch > ve also feel the effect. COPENHAGEN, July 2.— His Majesty presided to- day in the Council of State for the first time since his happy recovery from his illness. CHRISTIANA, June 24.— A fall of earth lately co- vered to the depth of several ells the village of Nor- drelene, in the parish of Nangd. Nineteen persons who were there at the time, and all asleep for it was midnight, are happily saved, but a great many cattle perished ; of 30 houses onlv two remain standing. ODESSA, June 18 We have letters from Constan- tinople of the 10th June. Lord Strangford has sent a courier to Jassy. to convince himself of the evnctiation of the Principalities ; but it is stated that this courier after his return, announced that there was no talk at Jassy of the departure of tile troops. It is added, that Lord Strangford then proceeded in person to the resi- dence of the Reis EfFendi, to request an explanation.— The latter answered, that he was suprised at the delay in the departure ; but the Ambassador might be assured that the troops should set out as soon as there was time for it. P. S. We have received accounts from Constantinople of the 13th.— That capital was still tranquil ; but the Christians were full of terror. The third naval expedi- tion, consisting of a ship of the line and eight smaller vessels, was to sail for Chio with the Janissaries, who had menaced the safety of Pera some days before. The Captain Pacha, after having reinforced the garrison of the fort of Mvtilene, will, it appears, wait the arrival of the third squadron before attacking the other islands of the Morea. SALONICIfl, May 9.— Several villages of Mount Olympus have taken no part in the revolt, and have re- mained quiet. The Pacha, at the head of 150,000 men, has executed justice on the others that took up arms. And what justice was this?— All the men who could not escape into the mountains have been cut to pieces— all the women and children that could be found have been reduced to slavery; the little town of Niausta has been totally destroyed by fire, notwithstanding the orders of the Pacha, who was unable to check the fury of his troops. Some Greek villages were burnt by the insurgents themselves, because the inhabitants would not join them ; and some of the armed Greeks had the barbarous courage to massacre their wives and children with their own hands before they took flight. MAY 11.— All is quiet towards Niausta; but it is the stillness of the tomb. Our Pacha has returned with the greater part of his army. Yesterday they brought in the head of the famous Chief Zafiraki, and that of Captain Dacis. At the same time forty- nine Greeks were brought in, who, after having formed part of the corps of these Chiefs, had fled into the mountains. They were immediately beheaded. SPAI. X AND PORTUGAL. The Espectador, Madrid paper, of the 8th instant, after detailing the occurrences in that city, on the morn- ing of the 7th, as appeared in our last, goes on to state as follows : The permanent deputation of the Cortes, whicli by the want of communication with the Ministers of his Majesty, who were detained in the palace from the preceding day, saw itself in the last extremity, convoked a Junta, composed of two Counsellors of State, two of Provincial Deputation, three of he Constitutional Municipality, and two Generals of the gar- rison, to deliberate upon a message addressed to his Majesty, for the purpose of putting an end to those horrors and outrages which the infamous aggression of the seditious guards had oc casiond The Marquis of Casa Sarria, accompanied with the Com- mandants of the guards. Chiefs of the battalions who remain- ed in the palace, and who had not taken any decided part in the insurrection, delivered an answer from his Majesty, con- fined to a manifestation of his desire to stop the elfusion of blood, but declaring that it was not consistent with the dignity of his royal person that his guards should be disarmed, as it appeared to be desired. On this point there arose a serious and violent discussion, in which the President of the deputa- tion of the Cortes, the Syndical Procurer of the Constitutional Junta of Madrid. Don Gabriel Jose Garcia. Lieutenant- Ge- nera! D. Jose de Z ivias, Don Arias Gonsalo de Mendoza, and D. Antonio Ruiz, alcalde and regidor of the Junta, Anto- nio Castejon and Senors Nunez and Flores Calderon, persons belonging to the Permanent Deputation, together with those of the Provincial Deputation, D m Roman. Corona Calderon, de la Barca. and the Counsellors of State Blake and Luyande, took part against the King's message. In favour of it were the Marquis Casa Sarria. and D. Carlos Heron. It. was agreed to tell his Majesty, that, as a preliminary to any arrangement it was necessary for him, in order to prove that he was at the full liberty which the direction of the business of the State re- quired. to intrust the protection of his royal person to subjects faithful to the oaths which they had taken, and by no means to a guard which had disgraced their laurels, by the most incredi- ble perjury and the blackest perfidy. They represented that the four battalions which had committed the hostile aggression, which bad so much endangered the tranquillity of the capital, and along with it the liberties of their country, should imme- diately surrender their arms, unless they desired to become victims to the just fury of an irritated people, and of a valiant and victorious garrison and national militia ; that with respect to the two battalions remaining in the palace, who did not ap- pear guilty of so horrible crimes, and only answerable for in assassination committed on the person of one of their most meritorious officers, they might be permitted to leave the capi- tal with their arms but divided from each other, aiid forced to give up for punishment those who were guilty of that assassina- tion. The messenger of his Majesty returned to the palace with this pioposition of the above mentioned Junta ; and his Ma- jesty having agreed with it, they gave the necessary orders to the Captain- General to carry into effect this arrangement— the only one that could calm the effervescence and furious agita- tion which pervaded the minds of almost all the inhabitants of the capital. When this measure was about to be carried into effect, the battalions of the guards, who were condemned to surrender arms, took to flight, some by the Campo del Moro. and others by the gate of Segovia, in the direction of the Ventas de Alcoron. Immediately two pieces of artillery, a battalion of militia, two squadrons of cavalry, and a battalion of officers, under the command of Don Evarista San Miguel, were dis- patched in pursuit of them. It is now ten o'clock at night, and more than a third part of the fugitive guards have entered as prisoners, and it is to be hoped that before the morning, the rest of them will have fallen into the hands of the defenders ot liberty who are in pursuit of them. The following proclamation by the Constitutional Junta of Madrid was issuedon the evening of the 7th : — « • Madrid. July 7. " People of Madrid !— Spanish blood has flowed in the streets of this city shed in consequence of the conduct of trai- tors, to their country— perjured men, who have violated the sacred oalhs by which thipy swore to defend liberty. The rebel battalions of the royal guard which had taken a position in the l'rado during the night, secretly entered the capital and attack ed the defenceless population, the gallant national militia, and the no less gallant troops of the garrison. But the perjured rebels paid deaily for their temerity. Overthrown in every di- rection, dispersed and straggling, those who have saved their lives endeavour to repair to the palace of the Monarch. Many are concealed IU houses. Those wretched men obtain, per haps a merciful asylum from the generosity of the persons they intended to assassinate. Public tranquillity 3iid public safety, however, require that all those measures which the existing circumstances call for should he promptly adopted. Your Constitutional Ayntamientu, therefore, orders every citizen to deliver up. without excuse or delay, any guardsman whom be may have received or concealed in his house, under the penal- ty which the laws inflict on criminal! guilty of high treason,— / ' t * i *' t Citizens, fiie unfo'jljinate woimied, asrw61l a1, ill the otfc. er prisoners . fiiio have fa I ' en inte.*. he hands of the brave defenders of our lilxerties, hive, been- treated with,! that compassion and generosity which the contemplation of unhappy meiti misled bv black intriglie and vile seduction, . dictates to truly Inderal minds.

The Nation, the Constitution, and Liberty for ever ! ' . ,, Bv order of the Ayunt^ oiento. " FRANCISCO FERNANDEZ. Secretary.'' Madrid, July 8. j . AVe are assured, that the Secretary, of Dispatch for the war department definitively resigned lasttaight. It is stated that his Majesty, doubtless ill informed, insisted that orders should he sent- tt) Espiuosa, not to crime to Madrid ; but the Minister respectfully refused to dispatch such an order, as he considered it incompatible with the conscientious discharge of his duty.— It appears, however, that he had not the good fortune to con- vince his Majesty; and that having repaired to his office, he wrote a note to the King, in which he said be expressed him- self in substance as follows:—" When a minister loses the confidence of the Monarch, there remains for him no other course than to resign his office. Your Majesty knows that i have sustained this loss, and I therefore give yogi* Majesty notice, that from this moment I renounce the honourable charge you conlided to me." jj We publish this statement as one of the many reports which circulate in Madrid, but without holding ourselves responsi- ble for its authenticity. Such however is the true constitu- tional course, and it is by this firmnes of character in Ministers that the impeccability of the King, and the safety and inviola- bility of his person are to be secured. JULY 8.— The following are further details respecting the events of the 6th and 7th :— Tiie position of Madrid in the commencement of the 7th was most alarming. The column of the Royal Guard, which had debouched on the Place del Sol, came in contact only with a Guard not sufficiently numerous to resent it; but Providence watched over the liberties of Spain. A musket shot, fired by a ci. iizfaot ho was in the house of General Morillo, sufficed to spread, alarm over the Place of the Constitution, j On the first news of the engagement, Generals Ballasteros, Riego, Palla- herra ( so known in the war of independence), Morillo, and the Minister of War, who had abandoned bis colleagues to lake his place with the Patriots before the Park of artillery, rushed forward at the gallop. General Riego, who had no command, remained during the whole attack with t) iq Militia. General Ballasteros dared to attack the mass of the column at the head of twelve horsemen only. The Liberals, conquerors, testified the greatest respect for the Royal Family. On the 7th and 8th, the tranquillity of the eily was perfect. Such a tranquil- lity is as astonishing as honourable. If the servile faction had triumphed, the scene would have presented a very different aspect. After the Te Deum chaunted the morning of the 8th, they proceeded w ith pomp to the interment of the Lieut.- Colonel of the Guard Landahuru, assassinated in the Palace the fiistday of the Meeting. The Militia and all the troopsof the garrison followed the procession, as the antient Romans followed, that of Lucretia, and traversed with religious solemnity the princi- pal streets of the capital. It is affirmed that the Royal Family were on the point of incurring great danger amidst the rebels, but the new guard observes the most severe discipline. The greatest order reigns in the Palace, which the militia and the patriots have not w ished to enter, from a delicacy which cannot fail to confound the malevolent. The victorious patriots contented themselves with demand- ing from the King constitutional guarantees, not illusory, in the reorganization of the Administration. The new Ministry, it said, will be composed thus: — Minister of war, General Aalahera. distinguished for his conduct formerly, and that during the last days; Minister of the Interior, M. Dasco, a very respectable man, who signalized himself last year in the Cortes by his enlightened patriotism, and his strength of cha- racter ; Minister of Justice, M. Calatrava, one of the most distinguished Juris- consults of Spain, the same who had so great a part in the framing the Penal Code, and one of the most solid orators of the last Cortes. The Stanmer Packet has reached Falmouth, from Lisbon, with private accounts from thence to the 7th instant. Their contents are very important. News had been received from Rio Janeiro and Pernambuco, and indeed from almost every part of the Brazils, an nouncingthe independent feeling of the people ; and ad- ding, that although no actual declaration of indepen- dence had been made, yet that virtually the Brazils were no longer under the control of the mother country.— Preparations, were also going forward both at Pernam- buco, and Bahia, to compel the Portuguese troops, in some force at the latter place, to quit the South Arne rican dominions. At Lisbon, the King was in the greatest dilemma as to what course to pursue, and seem- ed to leave the decision of public affairs entirely at the disposal of the Cortes. The distracted state of Spain had not, as was apprehended, occasioned any insurrec- tionary movement in Portugal, which continued appa- rently very tranquil. From the LONDON GAZETTE, July 16. Whitehall, July 13. The King has been pleased to present the Rev. Alex. Macfarl. ine to the united churches and parishes of Cra- thie and Braemar, in the presbytery of Kincardine O'Neil and county of Aberdeen, vacant by the death of the Rev. Charles Machardy. LONDON, July 20. Yesterday being the first anniversary of his Most Gra- cious Majesty King George IV. the morning was ushered in by the ringing of bells; standards were hoisted on many of the Churches and public biddings, and at one o'clock the Park and Tower Guns were fired. Accord- ing to ancient custom, severals barrels of beer were given away at Whitehall to the populace, and the prin- cipal Nobility gave grand entertainments in the evening 111 honour of the occasion. Yesterday, at two o'clock, a Cabinet Council was held at the Foreign Office, Downing street, which was attended by the Earl of Liverpool, the Earl of West- morland, Earl Bathurst, the Marquis of Londonderry, Mr. Peel, the Duke of Wellington, Lord Maryborough, Mr. Robinson, Mr. Bragge Bathurst, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, & e. The Council sat in deliberation till half- past three o'clock. The Prince of Saxe Cobourg is expected to return to London in about three weeks. Marlborough House is preparing for the reception of his Royal Highness. \ n express has reached London this afternoon from Madrid, bringing information from thence to the 14th inst. The letters confirm the report received by wav of Paris, of the resignation of the Spanish Ministers, and although several individuals had been applied to, to fill lip the vacant offices, no one had been found who was willing to accept them ; and under these circumstances, the King is represented as being in a most precarious situation, standing alone without the advice or assistance of any Minister whatever. The city of Madrid, it is also stated, was apparently tranquil, but important events were expected to take place, and the people were held in the most awful suspense. General Morillo had gained the entire confidence of the King, in consequence of his having refused to accede to the earnest solicitations of the Spanish Guards, to place himself at their head, and to opjiose himself to the existing Government. The ar- guments which were made use of by the Officers were, that although Ferdinand might apparently uphold the Constitutional system, that he was in fact unfavourable to it, and that, in the event of the great body of the military declaring in favour of the ancient order of things, his wishes would be accomplished, and he would support the troops. General Morillo being convinced of the con- trary, did not hesitate to declare his opinion ; and in order to convince the troops that the King entertained opinions different from what they imagined, obtained an interview for a Deputation of several of the Officers with the King ; but notwithstanding the assurances of his Majesty, the Officers withdrew, and again joined their Regiments, without any molestation having been offered them. It is now said that the parliament will not rise till the 3d of August. The Hoti9e of Commons, it is under- stood, will finish the business at present on its list, or announced for discussion, about tile SJ5th instant, when it will adjourn to the above- mentioned day. During the interval the tipperhouse y.-' ll dispose. of theibillj which arc at present on its table, qr mav. aftenyards be f cut for its conijurrehce, and on the 3d the prorogation ; . will take place by a speech from the throne. It is a rare occur- rence to see, Parliament extending its sitting into the * o o month of August. ; Mr AWrcrouiby is a member for .. the bqrougb of Calne, in Wiltshire.

The Marquis of Wqterford is assuredly to be raised to the dignity of a Duke of that parjtof the United Kingdom Called Ireland. The creation tij* another Irish Duke is spoken of— but not with equal certainty. , A gentleman of Loughborough has collcctcd from the Liverpool official reports of corn, flour, and ibqal im- ported from Ireland, during the last, seVen weeks, the following items, viz. :— Wheat, 21,34- lt quarters ; Oats, 2K8841 quarters; Barley, 906 quarters ; Beans, 279 quarters; Oatmeal, 984 quartets, and Flour, 8433 bags ; and all this time the people in that country have been suffering for want.

Being a full market of Sli6ep and Lambs, both met with a dull sale, pries much the same as last week. Beef" from 4s. 6d. to 5s. Mutton from 4s 6d. to 5s. 6d. Lamb, 4s. 3d. to 5-. 3d. per stone, sinking offals, GLASGOW CATTLE MARKET.— There was a pretty good supply of fat cattle on Monday; the demand was limited, and some beasts remained unsold. Prices ran from 6s. to 7s. a stone ; a few prime . stots brought about 8s. a- stone. There was a great number of sheep brought forward ; the white- faced sort sold from 20s. to 30s. a- head ; black- faced from 14s. to 21s. each. There were no white- faced lambs ill the market, and the Dlack- faced ones were sold at from 5s. to 10s. a head. At RinkJ'air, on Friday last, the show of lambs, was not so great as was expected, and the demand being considerable they were nearly all sold, but at very ( ow prices. Chevio lambs sold from 3s. to 6s. 3d. Cheviot; Miite wool from 23 6d. to 26s. Ditto salved ditto, from 15s. to 20s Some par eels lightly salved, and consisting entirely of hogs and VOUOL sheep, brought from 20s. to 22s. and for coarse heavy clips there were scarcely any demand. The decrease in price from las; year may be stated at Is. a head ou iambs, and from 7 to 20 per cent, on wool. The show of cattle on the Sands, Dumfries. last week, was in some respects one of the best that has been exhibitetj there this season. In particular, there were two , or three lots ,1 three- year- olds, of very superior size arid quality— animals, in short, that would feed to above 50 stone weight. For these bullocks 10 guineas on an averave were asked, and they were ultimately sold, we understand, at from L 9 to L. 10 per head. The few milch cows in the market appeared to he in less re- quest than bullocks. Among these were an excellent sped men of the Galloway breed iu an animal that would weigh a; least 40 sto. ies. The demand at this market was upon the whole pretty good ; and very few, we believe,, of the cattle were taken away unsold. Tile prices, as far as could be as certained, were, if any thing, a shade higher, although the dealers strongly maintain that cattle are still looking down iu the south. PAIRS.

On the 4tti curt. an important ease was determined regarding the Copyright, of Newspapers. John and Peter Wilson, in 180.3, established a newspaper call the Ayr Advertiser, or West Country Journal, which speedily ' became a lucrative concern, and ihet., eforward be- longed to them equally. I" 1 HO9. Peter Wilson sold his half fchftVe to a third person, receiving a premium or price for the copyright, exclusive of the Stock. The pmchaser afterwards sold it to two strangers, receiving the same premium as he had John Wilson retained his original half share till his death in Mav, 1X21. Conceiving it to he a valuable part ofhis estate, Vie bv his will conveyed his half share of the copyright to his testamentory trustees. In ail the changes of partners or pro- prietors, from the first establishment of the newspaper, there had been no written contract of copartnership betwixt them. John Wilson's trustees were about fo sell his half- share, when the two persons who had last purchased the other half present- ed a bill of suspension and interdict, to have the trustees res- trained, upon the allegation th. « t there was no such thing as the copyright of a newspaper ; that the right to print and pub- lish a newspaper exercised by two or more persons associated together, just resembling any oilier'-" trade ; and that upon the death of any partner, there being no uiitten contract provid- ing otherwise, the good will, as it is Called, of the business accrued to the survivors. Lord Meadowbnnk. in the Bill Chamber, appointed the Bill to be answered, and granted the interdict. On advising the bill, with answers. Lord Cri" gietie appointed parties to prepare memorials to the Court. Jn those in » morials the case was fully argued. The Court were unanimously of opinion, that the right of printing and publishing a newspaper, or the share of such a right, however anomalous it may be in point of principle, and whether it might be called copy- right, privilege, property, or by whatever other name, is a valuable right, now perfectly known am! understood, and is by the common law both trans- tei rabie inter vivos- and transmissible to heirs, independently of anv written contract betwixt partners or proprietors. They therefore recalled the interdict, and refused the bill with full expenses. Counsel for suspenders, John 15.

WHEN the Letters of Mr. HOPE and Mr. MEN- ZIES were first brought before the House of Commons, they, were on all luinds admitted to be high breaches of privilege, containing as they did charges of falsehood and malicious motives against a Member of the House of Commons, who had offered to prove his case uistuntcr, should a Committee be permitted to proceed in the in- vestigation. A majority however voted against invest! gation ; and Mr. ABEIICKOMBY then gave notice, " that lie would move for the production of certain papers con- nected with the prosecution of Mr. BORTHWICK, upon a charge ol theft committed in the office of the Glasgow Sentinel; and the motion being subsequently made, the papers were orderetl. It was admitted by all, that the letters of Messrs. HOPE and MENZIES were of such a nature, that a breach of the peace might naturally be ex. pected to ensue, and Mr. ABEHCBOMBY was there, fore enjoined not to send or accept any challenge, on account ot those letters— the House having voted them breaches of privilege. We mentioned in our last pu blication, the great expedition used hv the messengers dispatched to Edinburgh to apprehend the writers of these letters; and according to the general usage ot Parliament, the breach of privilege having been de- clared by a vote of the House, it was believed, that cen- sure or imprisonment, or both, must follow upon the vote. That the Gentlemen apprehended bv order of the House had addressed a Member of Parliament in the most insolent terms, and brought such accusal ions against him, that a breach of the peace was by all parties ex pected as the probable consequence, was already ascer tained ; but our readers will see, from the sketch of the report which our limits admit, that when the- person voted guilty of this breach of privilege appeared at the Bar, the House was disposed to more than usual lenity. Mr. HOPE was invited to explain his reasons whv lie had infringed the privileges of the House, and his ex planation was 111 substance this—" that unwarrantable imputations had been cast upon his character in the re- port of a Speech said to have been made in Parliament that he felt himself'called upon to defend his- character and disclaiming all intention of doing any thing dvroga torv to tlie hommr of " the Horse, or injiirfous to its privileges ; and trusted, that he should riot meet with any very serious'cetisure for feeling stronglv, as a British Gi'iitlc tuan T. inl a British Counsel ought to feel, when lis character, his integrity, and honour, are attacked." i'lie explanation was received bv the Ministerial Benches with cheering, arid voted quite satisfactory, so that no reprimand or further proceeding of any kfnd was '( Itemed necessary. The proceedings appear to h ive been nearly similar in the case of Mr. MENZIF. S. At present, the case stands thus :— Mr. ABBHCKOMB?, in discharge of his duty in Parliament, brought forward certain charges against the LORD A DVOC ATE and certain other gentlemen acting tinder him, and he offered to make good Ids case upon the spot bv proof; but the majority voted against the investigation. Messrs. HOPE and MKNZI US appear at the Bar, accused of breach of privi- lege tliev are asked to retract nothing— tliev prove noth- ing, and offer to prove nothing— but their assertions are received with acclamations, and found quite satis- factory. Mr. BROUGHAM and Mr. TIEHNEY contend- ed, that if . Vir. 11 it'E was permitted to retire without censure from the Bar, if the privileges of the House were lobe sacrificed, that the Learned Gentlemen might be screened, there must be an end to all inquiry into abuses : but it was observed by Mr. TIERNLY, tliat it was in vain for him to move auy amendment upon Mr. COURTENAY'S resolution, to the effect that Mr. HOPE should not again offend in a similar manner. During this debate, not a word appears to have been said con- cerning the scandalous libels that had appeared in the Clydesdale Journal, Beacon, and ( ilasgow Sentinel in which the breaches of the public peace, as we'd as those of the Commons House, originated ; and it is not to be supposed, that the proceedings in the case of Mr. HOPE are calculated to abate such nuisances. In the mean time, Mr. ABERCpo. MJjy, who so opportunely refresh- ed the memory of tht/ Loitj) ADVOCATE concerning his ecomroendation t-' f the Clydt sdale . Journal, or Glasgow Sentinel, has moved for the production of the cor- respondence between the Learned Lord and his De- puty, Mr IIorE, with the opinion of the latter concern- ing the prosecution of Mr. BORTHWICK, so that some facts, explanatory, of this strange case, may yet come out before the close of the Session. It has for some time been known, that a Turkish frigate is in the Thames, generally believed to be taking in warlike stores for the purpose of being used against the Greeks. Colonel DAVIES brought this subject be- fore the Commons last week : he said, he had been on board this vessel, a three- decker, capable of mounting 58 guns— that the officers and crew were English, with the excejJtion of the Commander and about 25 Turks— the whole crew mustering about three hundred, and their object, after obtaining all supplies, to cruize against the Greeks. O. i the contrary, it was asserted by the Lords LLVERPOOLANDLONNONDERRY, thattheshipin question was but accidentally in the river; that the Pacha of Egvpt having met the views of this country in some instances, it was thought proper to allow him to send in this vessel to have some ornamental work executed— but the ship- ment of warlike stores had been positively refused. Sir B. MARTIN, of the Admiralty, said, he had been on board ; that there was not a single gun mounted, and but a very few English sailors oil board— that the cir- cumstance of this ship being in the Thames was purely accidental, and that it was the resolution of Govern- ment to maintain the strictest neutrality. That not one gun mav Ire mounted at present rnnv be literally true; and it may be true, that very few English sailors were to be found when Admiral MARTIN was on board, and vet Colonel DA VIES may have stated what is sub sttinlially correct. If Ministers have actually refused to allow the embarkation of warlike stores— if the ship is merely to be ornamented in the Thames, it is but rea- sonable, that a strict investigation should take place ; for it is weM known, that warlike stores and men may be supplied, preserving the common forms of neutrality, and that without the least difficulty. In the meantime, it is highly creditable to the respectable underwriters at Lloyd's, that they have refused to take any risque what- ever upon this vessel. ROYAL VISIT TO SCOTLAND It appears to be now finally arranged, thit immediately, after the proro gation of Parliament, his Majestv will proceed to visit this country. He is to embark at Greenwich, on board the Royal George vaeht, the Hon. Capt. PAGET, and the Flueton and Forte, frigates, the Egcria sloop of war, the Calliope and Camclesm tenders, are to be in readi- ness at the More. The Royal Squadron, it is said, will proceed directly for Leith, and preparations are making in Edinburgh for his Majesty's reception. Whether there beany truth in the reports, that he will honour the North of Scotland with a visit we do not know— it is however reported, that some preparations are making, as if such a visit were expected. Since the year 1651, when CHARLES II. was crowned at Scoone, before he was obliged to leave the country by CROMWELL, we have had no Sovereign in Scotland ; for, from the time of the Revolution, agrcat part of our countrymen remain- ed attached to the House of STUAT! 1', and even in the reigns of the two first GEORGES, a Royal visit to Scot- land would not have been thought adviseable. Now the case is altered— the House of STUART is extinct, and the descendants of those who were their wannest adhe- rents are now as loval subjects as any in his Majesty's dominions. His Majesty will not find scenery equal to that of Ireland in our country, nor public buildings ill Edinburgh to be compared with those of Dublin, but he will meet with as cordial a reception from loval subjects, as he experienced in Ireland; and we hope, without that servile adulation which is neither creditable to the of- ferer, nor the receiver. It is understood, that Ins Ma- jesty will return to London bv land, passing through some of the principal manufacturing districts. In old Spain, we find the Cortes still temporizing with the King, and addressing him as if they really be- lieved him friendly to the Constitution. It is, however, impossible that the well informed and patriotic Spaniards, who have devoted themselves to the cause of liberty, can be ignorant that he is the determined enemy of the Con- stitution, and but waits for the interference of some of his legitimate allies to declare himself. Whether Louis will be hardy enough to put his cordon sanitairc. ' in ac- tivity, without ' artlu r assistance, is doubtful : but were the attention of Russia and Austria unoccupied bv other important objects, FERDINAND would not want assist- ance sufficient to induce him to make the attempt, to put down the Patriots. Tn new Spain, the cause of liberty triumphs ; and although in Mexico an Empire has been established under ITURBIDE, there is every reason to believe that, like the Northern States, those to the South of the Isthmus of Darien will form in a short time one great Republic. Our gallant country- men, who engaged in the cause of the patriots some years ago, are now honoured as the deliverers of the new world ; and over and above, will find their enterprize the most profitable speculation thev possibly could have made ; indeed, lnany of them have already acquired lar" e fortunes. Mr. A BKRCKOMBY'S motion for papers relative to the case of BORTHWICK is postponed till next Session, when he pledges himself to bring the case forward— but v\ ill he be permitted to proceed in his investigation ? Having again unexpectedly been led to notice this sub- let, we shall just add, that Mr. ABERCROMKY, in his place, declared his readiness to have correctedany mis- tatement made by him, had it been pointed out in decent language BJR Mr. HOPE; and Mr. TIISKNEY stated, : hat the obvious course Mr. Hops had to pursue, sup posing his conduct misrepresented by any Member of the Commons House, was to petition the Htyue, and pray for, an investigation of facts.

On Tuesday last, at Kepple Tryst, there was a brisk sale, and nearly all the three and four year olds, in tolerable order, were bought up by the numerous English arid South Country Dealers, who, next day, t, t the great Cattle Market of Aikey Fair, were no less active inbuy- ing cattle of that description, many hundreds of which were sold,, although we learn, there were some complaints as to there not being the usual- proportion of the Cattle in good condition. Prices, we understand, were about £ 8 and £ 9 a- head ; one very superior lot, from the neighbourhood of Banff, alone bringing ^ 11 sterling. Next day at Inverury, the de- mand although much less, owing to many purchasers being nearly supplied, was still considerable, and large sales were effected. On Saturday iast, as a tnan was taidily crossing Union Street, with a small ca-. k of sugar on his back, he was over- taken by the leading horses of the North Maif and being brought in contact w ith the pole of the carriage, was thrown to the ground, when one of the fore wheels passed over his body, the driver with diflicully checking the horses before the hind wheel could reach, so as to injure him farther. The poor man was taken up, and afterwards conveyed to his own house, where some of his ribs were found to be broken, and he was otherwise so much bfuised, as to leave his recovery very doubtful. No blame, we understand, co, il< l be attached to the dmeiv who gave , repeated warnings to the unfortunate man, which, from his not having beard them, were conse- quently di regareled. C4TTT. P.

Finding nearing it that he could not go to windward, he was fortunately, from its suspicious appearance, induced to tack and stand away N. E. Whilst on the next tack, steering S. on crossing where it seemed to terminate to the westward, sounded and found 22 fathoms water ; at the same time, plainly perceived it was it dangerous reef of rocks, with the sea breaking over them. Cape Wrath bore S. by W. about 6" leagues distant. Capt. MorisoJi was fully determined to lower his stern boat and sound upon the ledge in different places ; but as the breize rendered it - awuoit impossible to do so with sal'- ty, he was compelled to desist.

The Favours of several Correspondents, Society Meetings, & c. which came too late for insertion this week, shall appear in our next. P 0 S T S C R IP T. LONDON, July 23. The Spanish news of to- day, whieh we have at length re- ceived fo the 12ih inclusive, is more favourable than the mosS sanguine friends of Spanish liberty touidhave anticipated,—. The fugitive Guards, which had escaped the troops sent in pursuit of them, divided into three parts, of which the most nu- merous threw themselves into a place of temporary defence, where they were surrounded, and on the assurance that their lives should be spared, surrendered, and were marched priso- ners to Madrid* t(> the number of three hundred and sixty soldiersand nine officers. In Madrid the utmost tranquillity prevailed; nu popular commotions had taken place ; the au- thorities were respected ; the King had given the necessary orders for the prosecu'ion of the guilty ; and partial changes had been made in the Ministry to throw the Executive power more entirely into the hand* of the- friends of the Constitution: Lopez Banos is to be Pvlinister of War. Martinez de la Rosa a man of the most eminent talents, continues in the Foreign, Ministry. Letters from Mexico, dated May 15, after noticing the de- cree of the Mexican Government, by which Ittiibide is pro- claimed Emperor, state, that other decrees had been issued, acknowledging the Republic of Columbia, from which, it is said, a native Mexican had been sent Ambassador by his Im- perial Majesty of Mexico. IRELAND. From the grent masse of Country Papers receivd since our last, we select a few paragraphs, rather wirh a view of shew- ing th- e character of the distress, than with any intention of entering into the particulars. Unfortunately, the character of these particulars is so like these we hare already inserted, that the details ofa fortnight since might answer ibr thu>> e which we give this day.— l) uh. Even. Pout. The county of Mayo Report states, that, disease and distress, notwithstanding the magnificent benefactions which have bee- a received are increasing. The particulars are given ; but it is not necessary to repeat ' hern. The county of Clare Report ( foes not d'lfer materially from those which we have, already published. The same wretched- ness continues, and the same exertions appear to be making by the Local Authorities. The city of Lunerk- k, though it received on Sunday Ja< at 5001. from the Lord Lieutenant, and .500.'. from the London Committee, appears to be immersed in great sutf ring. I11 the county of Cork, Dingle and Duhallow are described as in a state of destitution. In the former ihere are 720 fami- lies in a state of'absohite wretchedness ; in Ventry nearly J 000 families. In these three districts,, a moderate calculation makes '. he entire starving people upwards of 20,000 p^ rso- Os. In the covnty of Kerry the people ar* digging up the pota- toes— all the effjrt-. made to preserve them from famine prov- ing almost Unavailing In the county of Kilkenny the famine and its attendant typhus have made great progress. At Cartar Cloone five per- sons died of starvation. The district is mountainous, and there, is no resident gentry. His Majesty ( he King of Prussia has lately, issued a decree for the promotion of the shipping interests- of Prussia, whk/> are in a very depressed s; ale ; with tins view the coasting trade ftom one Prussian port to another is to be allowed to Prussian ships or>) y, and an increased harbour duty is to be levied on To-, reign vessels both coming and going. The Duke of Bedford, we are happy tastate, is so much re- covered from his late serious illness as to have been able to take an airing in his. carriage for these several days past. On Saturday, the' Dispatches for Bengal and China, by the ship Thames. Captain Baviside.' were closed at the Ea^ t India House, and delivered to the Purser of that ship. CORN' EXCFIAXGE, July 22. We had a very huge supply ot Wheat this morning, but scarcely any demand exyept for prime samples, which obiaip- ed last Monday's prices, byt all other - descriptions were inef- fectually offered at an abatement of 2s. per quarter : the ( juan- tity remaining on hand is very considerable, for which no otters could begot.
