BREWERY IN ABERDEEN, " . AND ' " GOODWILL OF AN EWAflLISHF. D AND XLUCRA- TIVE TRADE, TO HE DISPOSED OF. THE NORTH STREET BUEWERY COM- PANY propose to convey their BREWING PREMI- SES, UTENSILS, TRADE, and whole STOCK in TR ADE, by Private Contract. The. NORTH STREET BREWERY has been long well known and is one of the oldest Brewing Establishments in this city The Premises are centrically situated, affording short and easy access to all parts of the town. The Property was lately walled round, and has undergone a thorough repair. The accommodation is ample and complete in all the different de- partments. The Granaries are large and airy ; and the Matl Barns. Girnals, and Cellarage, . of the best kind, and suited for an extensive trade. There is an inexhaustible supply of excellent Water on the premises, which is emptied into a- ca- pacious Granite Cistern, The Coppers, with the Stock of Casks, and other Utensils, are almost new, and of the best and most, substantial construction! There is a commodious DWELLING HOUSE, forming part of the Premises, with suita- ble Hcecommodation for a family j and a COUNTING- ROOM and GARDEN attached. The Parties composing the present company acquired the property a few years ago; and being principally resident in the country, and having other avocations to occupy their time and attenrion— their great object was the renewal of tliis Old Establishment on a liberal scale, with a view to its prosecution by others who could devote themselves to the bu- siness, rather than to abide permanently in the trade. The present concer n has subsisted nearly three years— and by persevering exertions, and not without considerable ex- pence, a pretty extensive and respectable business has been established, not only in Aberdeen, and on all the principal roa4s. Iea4j » g fcQtn it, but in most of the principal towns in Scotland, where the quality of fho liquors has in general gtven much satisf^ liori. \ The Proprietors a? e ready to enter into treaty for a sale of the Property, or to let it on Lease— in either of which events, they will make over the. whole Stock of Liquors and Utensils Upon Inventory and Valuation ; great part uf the price of \ yhieh, as well as of the iJerilable Property, may remain for years in the hand's Of a purchaser, if" required. . It must be obvious, , that tp a" few individuals of skill and capital, a more favourable opportunity could not offer for pro- secuting the business of Brewing. A trade has been esta- blished, which is just tro. vv. in full operation ; the Premises are admirably calculated for carrying on this trade at a reasonable expene'e ; the Utensils are seasoned ; Grain and Hops are Cheap and good— arid the present operations will be continued until the moment a purchaser can assume the business. The Premises will be shewn, on application at the B: rewery ; and for farther particulars, apply to James Man, Advocate* King Street, Aberdeen". ABERDEEN AND LEITII PASSAGE.

It is in these cit- cuiristances that the carbonate of ammonia, so managed in its exhibition as not to piove over- irrltating, shews itself possessed of considerable powers, and it is often advisable so to supersa- turate the acetate of ammonia with the latter ingredients as to make the medicine at once antispasmodic and anti inflamma- torv.

Tlie Lord Advocate, Mr. Hope Sir Walter Scott, Mr. Home Drttmmond-, and some of their associates, subscribed to set tip a Newspaper in Edinburgh, for the purposes of private slander against their political adver- saries. They were, to sav all in one vvord, the sup- porters of a Scotch John Bull. Of course, thev care- fully concealed themselves from the public eye, and lurk- ed in the dark, meeting their friends, both private and professional, daily, as if nothing vvere going on, while they were daily or nightly hiring wretches to traduce their private and professional lives, and to ridicule their personal peculiarities. The vile slander of this aban- doned print must frequently have been the subject of conversation in circles frequented by the llaes, Drum monds, and Hopes, as well as the Clerks, Jeffreys, Gibsons, and Stuarts; but not a hint ever reached the latter of the quarter from whence those infamous calum- nies proceeded. How, indeed, could such a suspicion prevail? We are informed that Mr Clerk, one ol those most foully attacked, was ridiculed, among other things, for a personal misfortune, in which he and Sir Walter Scott are fellow sufferers, and both equally averse, it mav be presumed, to any remarks 011 it. Nay, if Sir VV. Scott could not be silenced by this ap- peal, we are told that Mr. Hope ought to have abstain- ed on hi<> her grounds, 11s it was notorious that 011 his coming to the Scotch bar, he had been treated with the most marked kindness and distinction on all occasions by that eminent leader of the profession, whose honesty as a politician, integrity as a barrister, and high honour as a gentleman, are well worthy the considerate atten- tion of Mr. Hope and his associates. These circumstances explain easily much of what has since passed, Bv an accident, the Beacon conspiracy was discovered, and Messrs. liae, Hope, and Drutn- roond, found to be foremost in the plot. Thev at once gave up the paper, and thought ail safe. Soon after, their associate Sir A. Boswell was detected as actual writer of some of the libels, called to account, and un- happily fell. The rage of the partners knew 110 bounds : detected, defeated, disgraced, they sought to punish Mr. Stuart— for what ?— having been the instrument of their signal exposure. The charge against Borth- wicfe, while' it depended,, obviously hadtlm effect of giv- ing a colour of unfairness to Mr. Stuart's conduct in netting possession of the evidence against Sir A. Bos- well. their own accomplice. Mr Stuart's honourable and triumphant acquittal having frustrated this scheme likewise, as far as he was concerned, they at once dis- charged Borthwich, against whom, of course, no malice was entertained. . . .

TELLERS • Lord A. Hamilton* and T. F. Kennedy.* J. COOOAM, ADVOCATOR, against THE INCORPORA- TION OF TAILORS IN EDINBURGH. The Incorporation of Tailors in Edinburgh presented a complaint to the Magistrates against. Coggan, alleging that he had violated their excnlsive privileges, and con- cluded for damages and interdict. In defence he stated, that he was a broker of clothes, that he never acted as a tailor, and was incapable of doing so ; that the business was entirely carried 011 bv his wife, whom he sistcd as a pa'rtv to the action ; that she was the daughter of a sol- dier, and, as such, was entitled, bv statute, to carry on any such trade within burgh as she was " apt and able for " That in her name, and under her superintendence, the business was carried on. Ilence two points arose ; 1st, Whether the wife was bona fide apt and able to act as a tailor? A11 d 2( 1, Whether this was a collusive device to confer on the husband, the statutory privilege ? The Bailie, after finding " that the daughter of a soldier can- not confer the statutory privilege 011 her husband, but is herself entitled to carry on any trade she is apt and able for, notwithstanding her marriage," allowed a proof as to the facts ; and, upon judging of that proof, ;< found that the present is an attempt bv the daughter of a free- man to confer the statutory privilege on her husband, in opposition to its true meaning and intent ;" and decerned for damages against Coggan, and interdicted him carry- ing 011 trade. Whereupon he advocated, the cause to the Court of Session. Lord Allowav, Ordinary, found " That the daughter of a soldier entitled to the statutory privilege mav carry 011 any trade for - which she is able and qualified, provided she is bona flde employed in that trade : but that her husband, merely on her right, is not entitled to this privilege. That Oogg. 1.1 is entitled to carry on the business as a broker of clothes, without any license from the tailor craft, provided that he does not, as tailor make or alter the clothes in which he deals : That Coggan, not having been bred a tailor, had em- ployed persons to make and alter the clothes in which he dealt, and had on that account paid a license to the tailor craft of two guineas per annum: l'hat upon their insisting to raise it up to four guineas, Coggan, by this time having been married to thedaughterof a soldier, entitled to tliepri- vilegeof carrying on any business for which she was apt or qualified, his wife's name was put upon the shop : That there is evidence that Mrs. Coggan cuts cloth and other materials for the purpose of being made into trow- sers, drawers, vests, and gaiters : That she employed a foreman in the shop for taking the measure of gentlemen, and that she not only worked herself at some parts of the business, but she employed Jean Somerville and other tailors : That she- appears apt and able to conduct the business, and that therefore there is nothing in the sta- tute which can deprive her of the benefit of that privi- lege." His Lordship therefore advocated the cause, and assoilzied Coggan from the Incoporation's process and decerned Against the judgment the Incorporation pe- titioned the Inner House, and upon advising the pe- tition, the Lore's refused the same without answers.

COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL. A Court of Common Council was held on Tuesday, the 10th inst. at Guildhall, to take into consideration " the propriety of contributing opt of the city cash, such a sum as may be expe- client, in behalf of the brave < uid suffering people of the Pen- insula/' ' l'he Lord Mayor took the chair at a few minutes after twelve o'clock. Mr. Alderman Wood said, that he- understood that certain distinguished Nobljrr. en and Members of Parliament were that day coming to the Court to present to it a petition. He there- fore moved that they should be allowed to take se= its on the Bench of Aldermen. S? r it. C. Glyn seconded the motion. It was then put and carried unanimously unanimously. Lord Ert. kine. Lor.! Milton, Mr. John Smith, IVJr. Hume. Mr. W. Evans, Mr. C. Tennyson, and Mr. ilobhouse, then took their seats on the bench of Aldermen. THE GREEK CAUSE. Mr. Alderman Wood presented to the Court a petition from several Noblemen and Gentlemen, who had formed themselves into a committee for the purpose of assisting the Greeks in their present struggle for independence, praying that the Court would please to » ive them its assistance in forwarding, the great and holy cause which they had undertaken to promote. He should first of all ask the Coint to receive the Petition, and after it. was received, he should move that it be referred to the Committee of General Purposes. Lord ErsRine said, ih. it after the statement made by his lion, friend, tiie worthy Alderman* who presented the petition, he felt it to be perfectly unnecessary to offer any observations to the Court. lie should leave the subject to speak for itself, well knowing that every man who . was possessed of feelings must feel deeply interested upon it. He then read the circular letter issued by the Gil'ek Committee, and after concluding it, expressed the satisfaction he experienced, as a citizen of London, iu addressing so respectable a body of his fellow- citizens. Mr. Alderman Wood the.) moved, that the petition be re- ferred to the Committee of General Purposes. Mr. Dornford moved, as an amendment, that the Court immediately proceed to consider the petition presented to it, but after some farther discussion, the original motion was put and carried without a division. Lord Erskine, Lord Milton, and the other Members of the Greek Committee then ' quitted the room. THE SPANISH CAUSE. Mr. Galloway said, he understood some gentlemen did not wish the court to interfere in the politics of other countries, but he could not agree to their view of the subject, being. con- vinced thai if ever the Corporation of London should allow their feelings'to dwindle into a selfish consideration of their own local interests ' rarely, they wOuM deprive themselves of the better part of the character of goocl Englishmen,' which consisted in being1 the watchful guardians of public. liberty— ( Hear, hear.) — The subject on which they had that day met— the unprincipled attack of France on the liberties of Spain, and through her, on tin? rights and liberties of mankind— was one truly English— one in which every iCnglishman who pos- sessed the feelings that justly belonged to this land of freedom, must take the deepest interest. One would have thought that all the calamities attendant on a war of five and twenty years' . duration, would have taught the Sovereigns of Europe, and especially the Bonrbon'S, in whose cause it was more particu- larly waged, to avoid again kindling the flames of war ; but the attack on Spain proved that tbe Bourbons had not been instructed ny adversity. He would not condemn the govern- ment of this country for not entering into the war in support of Spain, as, after the lbng struggle we had m ide, peace was necessary to enable us to recruit our strength ; but if govern- ment had held a tone corresponding to the greatness of our exertions, and the situation this country ought to maintain in the world, he was confident that war might have been pre- vented, and the liberties of Spain preserved from the attack of the ungrateful Bouvbons. — ( Hear, hear.)— That attack was in effect directed aga'i^ t the whole civilized wo ld, and if the people of England shou'd witness it in silence, and that France should be successful well might the lovers of liberty be alarmed for the consequence^—( Hear, hear.)— But if the Corporation of London Set the example of supporting the cause of freedom in Spain by subscription, it would be followed by all the other Corporations in " the kingdom, and by the people in general, and the best results might certainly be expected-— ( Loud cries of hear, hear.) Mr. Galloway cowcludedby mov- ing resolutions, condemning in strong terms* the attack of France on Spain, and for granting the sum of 10001. for the support of liberty in Spain Mr. Hansar ; said, it was but seldom that such an oppor- tunity occurred in the life of man of'supporting the holy cause of freedom now presented itself, and he hoped every mem- ber of the Court would feel happy in availing himself of it by assisting the Spanish people— a people whose history shewed a constant struggle for freedom for 800 years with the Moors whom the y at ia^ t overcame and expelled from their country, and he had no doubt ti » a' they would also overcome and expel their present invaders. They had not wasted, but concentrated their resources; and the time was now come for calling them into action, and with the free will offering of a great and in- dependent people to encourage their exertions, no doubt could be felt of their success. ' We would, by assisting Spain, be lighting by anticipating, the' battles of our allies and of. our- setves, for if Spain were overrun Portugal would certainly be . attacked, and her we were " bound by treaty, as well as by in- terest and feeling to defend. The sum that would be voted by the Court would be a nue'eus round which contributions' from the whole country would collect and the whole would be spent in British manufacture, as muskets and gunpowder were, the articles of which Spain stood in need. A nd we would have the honour and happiness of assisting Spain to attain that liberty which we enjoyed ourselves, and were determined, with out heart's blood, to preserve. — ( Hear, hear.) - Mr. Hansard concluded by seconding the motion. Mr. Welch, after some spirited remarks, moved that the sum of 20001. be substituted in tiie resolution for the sum of 10001. Mr. Patten seconded the motion. Mr. Favell congratulated the court on the universality of the feeling in favour of Spain. As all were united in senti- ment, he trusted there would be no division on the question of pounds, shillings,, and pence. He hoped . the amendment would be withdrawn for the sake of unanimity, and in con- sideration of the state of the Corporation funds. The Lord Mayor wished to suggest whether, as we were at peace with France, it would become the Corporation to apply the language of the Resolution to the Government of that country, though all must disapprove of the attack on Spain. Ue particularly alluded to the expression the ambitious and wicked Government of the Bourbons in France," which be thought might be omitted. Mi*. Galloway said, he had not the least objection to omit the words disapproved of by the Lord Mayor. He was per- fectly willing thatthe Bourbon Government should be judged by i ts; acts — ( H ear, hear.) Mr. Jupp thought 1000! was as much as the Corporation . could aflbrd to give in the present state of its finances. Ii would be thought proper 4o give the sarrje sum to the Greeks' that wo6I'd be given to the Spaniards; and as the Corporation must ask Parliament for assistance to build London Bridge, Parliament might say, u why, you that can afford to give . so much to the Greeks and Spaniards can't be in want of money." Mr. Dixon said, the ffist speaker took it for granted that all were ready to vote away money in support of Spain, but if France had a particle ot " feeling left, siie would demand an explanation from our Government, and the vote of the Corpo- rati- in miglit be the means if involving the country iu a war (- 1 laugh.) He was decidedly aveise to any interference in the concerns of Spain, or any other country. Would it not be better to let the nations or Europe fight their own battles? Mr. Waithman replied, and shewed that Mr. DiXon had held language exactly opposite, when it was proposed to vote awav 10 0001. to the Government in 1798, and 20,0001. to feast the Allied Sovereigns in 1815. Mr. James, Mr. Crocker, and Alderman Thomson, op- posed the grant, after which Mr. Galloway shortly replied. The resolutions were then put, and carried on a division by 74 votes to 25. A Committee was then appointed to carry the Resolution into effect. THE GREEKS. A Court of Common Council was held on Friday, to take into consideration the Report of the Greek Committee, which recommended that a sum of 5001. be granted; but upon the motion of Mr. Jupp,, the amount was increased to 10001. and agreed to by a large majority. Lord Erskine, Mr... „ W hi thread, and other persons, after- wards addressed the Meeting.

M ADRID, May 18.— • Fins morning a rumour was generally circulated throughout - the city, and we have learned, not without astonishment, that the Count de: l'Abishal has been arrested', and that the Marquis de Castel dos Rios has been appointed to the chief com- mand of the army. It is said that the Staff refused to obey the Count de 1' Abisbfd, and that lie is accused of having betrayed the Constitutionalists. This accusation is founded upon a letter addressed to the Marquis, de Montijo by the Count de l'Abisbal, in which lie mum fests political opinions contrary to the present system.— Although this letter has been printed, it is very searce, and it is said that Count has withdrawn all the copies he could get. Some hours after this publication - the Count de 1' Ab- is'bal issued the following declaration : " Madrid, 17th May, 1823.

BERMX, May - 27—• Unt'. tjrccted events which am' s? nd to have taken place in Russia, are at this time the chief subject of conversation. Private letters have been received direct from St. Pefeisburgh ; they speafc, how- ever, with extreme reserve, and mention no particulars. According to the reports in circulation here very serious, occurrences have taken place. It is sflid that a conspi- racy has been discovered, in which several families of tiis first rank are reported to be implicated. It is affirmed an ecclesiastic gave information of the existence of the plot to the Empress ' Mother, whowas the first toacquaint her son. It is stated the discoveries which have been communicated to the Kmperor has greatly contributed to induce his Imperial Majesty to ^ ivctip, for the present, his intention of taking a journey into other countries tha circumstances being of such a uqt « re that his presence in- the empire is considered necessary. We know, how- ever, that these statements, which at present res- only on reports, and the accounts ' given bv travellers, arc not authentic, but require farther confirmation. COPENHAGEN, May 31.— Sn- Benjamin Bloomfield arrived here yesterday, on board an English frigate, and sailed for Stockholm this morning. KA RABACK, April 1— All this county ( which is three days journey from Salonichi,) is in motion ; troops are raising to go to the Morea, and it is said they will" be above 80,000 men, commanded by the new Pacha. ' 1 he insurgents in the Peloponnesus on tlietr side are making great preparations.

The prizes taken at sen are to he divided into three equal parts :— one for the islanders, one for the troops, and tlie third for tlie treasury of the Govern ment. There are in the Morea 50,000 men well armed, and the number increases d. iilv on account of the danger which threatens that country, on which the fute of part of Greece and the Revolution depends. The insurgents of the islands sometimes land to carry off cattle, in which tliev frequently succeed. With ,500 Albanians thev h< we landed in the isle of Tasso, opposite Porto Longone, am! carried off eight Turkish vessels laden with oil and other goods. The Turks of the Con- tinent have since sent a force to Tasso to protect it against another attack. MMtSElbVES, Mav ' 20.— The latest \ nle\ Wgence from Greece is dated Sauplia, April ' 26.

The Marquis ofLANSDOWN moved the second reading of the Dissenters ami Catholics Marriage Bill. The object of the hill, his Lordship. said, was to relieve Dissenters and Catholic* from the necessity of submitting to a violation of their conscientious feelings, for the purpose of entering into a state of marriage. The Protestant Dissenters stated in their Peti- tion. that by their complying w ith what was now required by law as a condition of their being legally married, they appeared to give their assent to doctrines in which they did not concur. The Roman Catholics, probably, did not object to tbe doctrinal p^ rt of the marriage ceremony of the Established Church, but many of that persuasion, who were married in this country, were natives of Ireland, where marriage by their own priests was legal ; and they were ignorant that the case was different here. Every security for the publication of marriages was provided for by the Bill, which only altered the present law, hy enacting that Dissenter- and Catholics should be allowed to marry in ' heir own places of worship by their own clergy- man a'ter paying the fees to which the clergy of the Establish- ed Church were entitled. lie had no doubt it must he the wish of the House to grant every indulgence to the consciences of lova subjects that would be perfectly consistent with the Safety of all our establishments The LO D CHANCELLOR opposed the measure, us Jikely to degrade the institution of marriage. The Earl of LIVEI! POOL approved of tbe principle of the measure, but objected to s<- me of its details. The Arihbisbop of CAN I EKBl'KY, tbe Bishops of " Worcester, Chester, and LlandafT, and Lords Redesdale and Harrywby opposed the Bill ; which was supported by Lords Caltlvirpe, Ellenborough, and Carnarvon. On a division, ihe secowd reading was rejected by » majority of 27 to 21. HOUSE OF COMMONS. Monday, June 9. Mr. HUME presented a petition fro- n the burgh of Mon- trose, praying that the House would be pleased to re|> eiil all duties on beer, ale. and wort, and, in lieu thereof, to lily an additional duty on malt.— Ordered to be printed. Lord A. II A M I LTONpresented a petition from thecandlo- makers of Glasgow, praying for the repeal of the duties on candles. SCOTS AND IRISH DISTILLERIES. On the motion tint the House go into a Committee on the Irish and Scots Distillery Acts, Mr. CUR WEN called the attention of the House to the pe- tition he bad laid on the table. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, that though he was not prepared to give a distinct pledge," the in- tercourse between England ahd Scotland in spirits was under the consideration of ' he Treasury. Mr. C HUTCHINSON hoped that time would be given for ascertaining the opinions of parties interested, especially in the intercourse of spirits, by the printing of the Bill. The Hon. Gentleman also advened to Tflie provisions of the Act of L'ninn in favour of Ireland upon this'subject. The House thtn went into a Committee. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, lie should now merely move the resolutio .-, and when in the form of a Bill, he should of course, state its nature and tendency. The resolutions were then agreed to. SILK MANUFACTURES. On the mrtion of Mr. IIUSKISSON. Hie report on the Silk Manufactures' Bill was brought up. and Mr. Adam and Mr. Wild were heard as Counsel for the operative weavers. Counsel having withdrawn, the motion for the second read- ing wt. s then put. when Mr F. BUXTON moved that the measure be referred to a Select Committee. Mr. HUSK ISSON opposed the motion, thinking that there was no ground whatever for it. If this measure was not passed, the manufacturers of silk would he reduced to the greatest de- gree of distress. It would he found that the manufacture would gradually diminish unless the principle recognised hy this Bill was adopted. After some farther conversation the House divided— For tlie motion, 68 Against it, 0" 0— Majority 8. The Bill was then ordered to be read a third time on Wed- nesday. SUPPLY— LEEWARD ISLANDS DUTIES. On the mo- ion that the House do resolve itself into a Com- mt'tee of fvipplv, Mr. CREEVEY rose to call the attention of the House to a heavy grievance of the Leeward Islands, known by the name of the four and a half per cent duty. He complained that the planters of the Leeward Islands, among many other griev- ances. had to pay a tribute of hogsheads of sugar out of every 100 This put them on a very unequal footing with the newlv acquired colonies. He read extracts from the peti- tions of the Islands of Barbadoes, Antigua, Montserrat, & c. complaining of these per Cent. Duties. The female part of the pensioners would faint away if they heard these petitions. He understood that large pensions from that Fund had been given lately to the Duchess of Gloucester and the Princess of Ilesse Homburg. Five pensions of £ SOO each had also been granted to the Misses FilZclarcnce. The Right Hon. Gentle- man ( Mr. Canning) had also received for his two sistersa pen- sion since 1793 from the same Fund. Another Right Hon. Gentleman too ( Mr. Huskisson) had a pension from the same quarter. Ministers were willing enough to relieve these Is- lands. by an exclusive monopoly, but never thought of giving up their pensions. If the House would not entertain this sub- ject, he did not see how the Right Hon Secretary ( Mr. Can- ning) could artruc against the necessity of Parliamentary lie- form. A petition in a case of grievance, should always pre- cede the demand for supply. That was the old practice of Parliament. The Hon. Member lh « l. moved a Resolution, embodying the topics of his speech, and praying for relief to the West India Islands from the burdens under'which ihey at preserit laboured. Mr. CANNING said, that the speech of the Hon. Mem- ber embraced two subjects, the one the " right of the Crown to the Duties, and the other to the mode of their application. It should be recollected that the fund in question' had been exempted from the Control of Parliament. I t was true that he ( Mr. Canning) had chosen to commute a pension of /" 1000 a year, to which he was entitled as under Secretary of State, fbr half tb « - Sum, in favour of two near relations.—( Hear.)— ff lie chose to speak tauntingly or" Invidiously, he could also cite names that the lion. Member himself would honour. Mr. 11 UM E contended, that this practice was an innova- tion, and thoughr the motion extremely proper. Mr. BROUGHAM stated, that lie himself had formerly brought the subject before the House, It was the painful duly of his Hon. Friend 10 name individuals, but he had not done so invidiously. In the present state of the \ V est India Islands, distressed as they were, the motion was highly proper. The West India Islands had themselves complained of the burden, and prayed for relief. Many years ago, the tax had been de- nounced by Mr. Bin kens most oppressive; for ibe rax was the same when tbe Colonies were in a distressed or in a nourishing condition. An attempt had been made to impose the same tax- in Jamaica and tile Windward Islands, but Uad failed. The burden was confined to five of the Islands. Tbe House divided — For the original motion 105— For tbe Resolution, 57. EXPENSES OF THE CORONATION. Mr. HUME called the attention of the House to the ex- pense of the Coronation ; which the Chancellor of Exchequer had stated at L. 100,000. The real expense had been L, i>> t), 000. U estimates were to be given in ibis manner, all estimates would become ridiculous. The sum required to make up the requisite amount bid been advanced out of tbe money paid li- j- France by the Treaty of 18 IS. There was an item of L. 111,000 for the decorations of Westminster IVaW. There was an item of L. 24,000 for bis Majesty's robes— a sum too much had the King been clothed in joVd. The King, indeed, had a diamond crown, and that bauble might lie included in the expense.— There was also a charge of 1- 50,000 for the furniture of Wrist- minster Abhey. There was I., 3000 to Sir George Kayler for an account of tbe ceremonj.—( Hear.-)— He wouid ask the House, had tile expense been stated at t.. 258.000 if that sum would have been gvawied. There w as a charge of 1,. 8' iOCl for snuffboxes to Foreign Ministers. lie accused the late Chan- cellar ot' ihe " Exchequer of a breach of faith with the House and the Public. That Right lion. Gentleman bad stated, that the indemnity from trance would be allied to tha Wa\ a and Means of the year, while a considerable sum bad been ayvUttA to the expenses of tbe Coronation. without the authority of Parliament. l'he Hon. Member concluded by moving for a Select Committee to iutyxire into the of the Coro- nation, having so greatly etceeiled tbe original statement, and hj what authority the sum of 1,. 136,000 bad been ay^ Viedto that ceremonf. without the consent of Parliament. The CU. VNCCI/ LOVt of ibeEXCUEQ. Ul-. Vl compil- ed that previous notice had not been given of the Resolution. He had himself heard nothing of it till he came down to the House, fart of tbe increase of the expense had arisen fro n the delay that had taken place from IS' 20 to 1821. His Right Hon. Friend had not tbe means of being strictly accurate, as there had been no similar case for 60 years. In point of fact, the sum of half a million paid by France had never been ap- propriated by any vote of Parliament. A considerable part of that sum had, by the sole act of the Crown, been applied to the fortifications of the Netherlands. It was, therefore, com- petent for the Crown to apply tile money to the expenses of the Coronation. He must oppose the motion. Colonel DAVIES thought it impossible to justify tbe ex- pense incurred, which was ill the teeth of the Appropriation Act. Mr. BENNET blamed the expenditure at the Coronation, which he should always call a wicked expenditure. Mr, CURWEN thought the House should have a fuller account of this expenditure ; but lie hoped the Hull. Gentle man would not press his motion to a division. Mr. BROUGHAM considered the expenditure as most extravagant— L.'_' 4,000 for a dress was shocking. ( Hear, hear).— lie would not be deterred by these cheers— he knew this was a delicate subject, but he wo « ld do his duty to the people. lie did not hold the Coronation as a light or unne- cessary ceremony ; on ihe contrary, in our monarchial form of Government it was a ceremony highly important; but still this enormous and profuse expenditure was not to be tolerated. He had heard it said that the Crowii was hired for a day at a large sum, and had uniortunately, as he w- as now informed, been kept ever since at an expense of several thousands a- year. He trusted, on inquiry, this would turn out not to be correct. He must here also advert lo another subject, namely — the great inconvenience which had arisen, and still continued to arise, from die want of accommodation for the Courts of Law in Westminster Hall. He particularly called the attention of the Chancellor of ihe Exchequer to this subject. Sir J. BLAKE said, it was quite clear that the expense of the coronation had been defrayed by a moiety of the money got from France. He hoped this would not be carried into a precedent for future coronations. He supposed, when Mini- sters had wound up their accounts, and settled ihe whole affair, they would sat, '• Finis coronal opus."— ( Much laughing ) Mr. HOBHOUSE would have been glad that France had paid the whole expense of the coronation. He trusted, how- ever, that an account of the expenditure should be given.— The Hon. Gentleman also expressed his hope that some gentle- man would propose to renew Mr. Ponsotibv's Bill, for pre- venting the necessity of a renewal of Cominisssions, in case of the demise of the Crown ; as, by such a renewal, L. 70,000 would be put into the pocket of the Chancellor for the time being. The Hon. Gentleman also adverted to the stale of Westminster Hall, and expressed his hope that the windows of that ancient edifice would not again be blocked up by build- ings. ' Hie House divider!, when the numbers were, for the Speaker leaving the Chair, lio— Against it, 65— Majority for going into the Committee of Supply, 45. The IL- use then resolved itself into a Committee' of Supply. Mr. HUME objected to the item for the Royal Yachts: he Was as anxious as any man could be that his Majesty's establishment should be on a plan of magnificence suiting his station, but it wa, possible that even his Majesty's establish- ment might be excessive. He saw here a charge for keeping up nine yachts ; this, in his opinion, was a number beyond w hat his Majesty could require, who only went to sea once a year He thought, also, after the recommendation of the Com- mittee of Finance, the yachts ought to be charged oil the Civil List, and not among the Civil Contingencies. Mr. ARBUTHNOT said, the recommendation was, that this item should be an annual charge, and should not be put as a permanent charge on the Civil List. Mr. J. MARTIN objected to an item of L. 248 charged for tile expense of bringing his Roy a I Highness the Duke of Clarence and his Duchess from Ostend to Dover in one of the' Royal Yachts. Mr. II UME also objected to a charge of L. 1329 for stand- ards for the three regiments of Foot Guards. There was also a charge of L 570 for the Earl of Malmsbury, as Governor of the Isle ot Wight. He wished to know what either of these votes had to do with Civil Contingencies. Mr. GOULBURN and Mr. All BTJ Til NOT defended these items. Mr. HUME said, there was another vote, which he con- sidered of more importance than any he had y. t mentioned, and that was, the expenditure of Foreign Ambassadors. The sums paid under this head were enormous, though, in point of fact, we might as well have 110 Ambassadors at foreign parts, for we knew nothing of what was going forward there. He particularly adverted to an item of L- 1500 for outfit to Mr. Wynn, our Minister to Switzerland; and I,' 2000 to Sir Wil- liam A'Court. Now, above the L. 270,000 regular charge 011 the Civil List for Ambassadors, there was a sum of upwards of L. 61,000 charged in the Civil Contingencies ; and he should propose to reduce the Vote L. 5' 2,799. Mr. £ A NNING defended the grant, lie could assure the Hon. Gentleman that since 1816 no plate had been given to the ambassadors— all had been given to the Embassy, and be- longed to the Crown. Thus the plate furnished to our Am- bassador at Vienna would remain for our next Ambassador; and so in all other cases. The Right Hon. Gentleman de- fended the arrangement laid down in 181G, which hq was ready'to meet the Hon. Gentleman upon, and to defend at any time. The gallery was then cleared for a division. For tbe Item, 70— For the Amendment, 16*— Majority for the Resolution, 54. Several other Items were discussed, the House resumed, and the Chairman obtained leave to sit again on Wednesday. The other Orders of the Day were disposed of, and the House adjourned. Wednesday, June 11. THE SHERIFF OF DUBLIN* Mr. J. WILLIAMS said that he was requested by his Hon. Friend the Member for Westminster ( Sir F. Burdett), to state, that in consequence of his pre. sent state of health not permitting him to attend the House, he should postpone his motion on the evidence taken before the House in the inquiry into the conduct of the Sheriff of Dublin until the next Ses- sion. MILITARY FLOGGING. Mr. HOBHOUSE said, that for the reasons stated by the Hon. Member ( Mr. J. Williams), he should, 011 the part of his Hon. Colleague, postpone his motion on the subject of military Hogging. STATE OF IRELAND. Mr, BROUGHAM said, that in consequence of the post- ponement of the Hon, Barotvet's motion,, he must also post- pone one. which was intended to be consequent upon it, as to the state of Ireland. S1I- K MANUFACTURE BILL. Mr. HUSKISSON moved theoider . I the day for the third reading of the Bil.. After some discussion the House divided, For the Third Reading, - -- 55 Agaiust it*, - - -. .40— 1J Thursday, June 12. POST HOUSE DUTIES. Mr. HERllTKS moved it nit this bill be. read a second time. Mr. J. 1\ GUAM' said, he perceived that in this bill the duty on horses let for hire by the day for any period less than twenty- seven days, wiis raked from Is. .9< 1. to 5- i. There was also, he perceived, a duty imposed on horses \ e. t to* tlie pur- pose of being rode on ( he Sunday. He objected to b'o'tlr alter- ations as unwiso and impolitic. Mr* LIE U lllES said, when the bill came into a committee this proposed duty might be discussed, and if it should be found objectionable, it would no . doubt be given, up by his Ilight Hon. Friend, t! ie Chancellor of the Exchequer ; as to the Sunday duty, the lion. Member was mistaken in supposing that no duty bad formerly existed on horses let for the Sunday. The present recommendation was only a regulation in the mode of collecting it. Mr. Gil A NT said, he would not now oppose the second reading of the h\\\ ; but would call tbe attention of the com- mittee to it agi'/ n when it should arrive at that stage. TRANSFER OF SECURITIES ( SCOTLAND) BILL. On the motion of i\ Ir. KENNEDY, this Liill was read a third time and passed. W. M BO II Til WICK. Mr. H. DRUMMOND said, he bad received a letter from 3/ r. Macgregor, a genneman residing in Scotland, who con- ceived himself aggrieved by some observations which bad fallen fro in him (. Mr. II. Drummoqif) during the debate on a former evening respecting Mr. Borthwick. Ail that be could now say was, that hi- i statements on that occasion were founded ex clusively on the documents upon tbe tabie ; lie had 110 other means of obtaining . in format ion on the subject. Sir J AMES MACKINTOSH bore testimony to tbe res- pectability of Aifr. H/ aegregor's character. Mr. J. P. GRAN T expressed bis belief that tbe explana- tion <; f the lion. Member would be very satisfactory to the VeeVmgs of Mr. Macgregov. ENGLISH ROMAN CATHOLICS. Dr. PH1LL1MO HE presented a petition from tbe C nth oik Bishop of London, praying ( hat English Roman Catholics might be placed on the same footing, with respect to marrying, with the Irish Catholics. Sir M ACKINTOSH ^ aid, he had a petition to present from the parish, officers ot'a htrge. and populous district, the paf\- sh v> f St. Luke s. conmhimng ol ihe burden brought upon them, and the injury to the couiiirv in general, in consequence df the \ aw, maVmg \ he matnAge 0V Roman CaV. ioYies by their own clergy unlawful. The children of all such marriage? were, h\ w, \ y.\ stm\ s— hiu\ no wa\ ura\ guardians— were cYrrgeabie to the parish, from which they could not he removed with their parents— were \ egtrAy orphans from their inVanty— arid were exposed to the wiles of seduction, and t< j nil the guilt and misery consequev. j, on such a ^ va\ e. " The petitioners prayed for the alteration of this law, which alteration would he an ex- teusion of to\ era\ iou. without conferring the sYVghtest degree of political power. He could not concur in opinion with the Learned Cwthan [ Y) x. PhWUwore) as to vhe mrprobnbiihy of a msasure so just and reasonably. passing into a law. The petition was brought up Mr. M. A. TA YLOR, though a general friend to conces- sion to the Catholics, could not see bow the disability complain- ed of could be removed without very strict grounds. Dr. PHILL! MO UE said, he had formerly prepared a Bill to enable Catholics to be married by their own clergy, but he bad not introduced it, in consequence of having found it would excite opposition in another place. Mr. J. P. GRANT begged to call the attention of the House to the singular situation in which Catholics were placed in Scotland. It was perfectly true, that by the general law of that kingdom, which regarded marriage purely as a civil con-* tract, marriages perform © .! by Catholic priests were valid ; but at the same lime there existed an Act of the Scots Legis- lature against clandestine marriages, by whieh a Catholic priest was liable io a heavy penally for celebrating what the law never- theless considered to be a valid marriage, He knew an instance in which he had been professionally engaged to defend a Ca- tholic priest, who had been prosecuted by the Lord Advocate under the Statute to which lie had referred. He was happy in stating, that he rescued the priest from the severity of the law ; and he was aware that no prosecutions of that kind were now likely to be instituted. He hoped, however, that the House would put an end to the anomalous condition of the Catholic clergy as soon as possitile. The petition vvas ordered to be printed. HEMP— SHIPPING. Mr. HUME presented a petition from Mr. T. Ilodson, a ship- owner, complaining of the duty 011 hemp, which was now equal to 23 per cent, ad valorem, and which formed H heavy burden on British shipping. — Ordered to iieon the table. Mr. WE j TERN'S motion, for a Committee to inquire into the state of the Currency and the resumption of Cash Payments, occupied the House great part of Wednesday and Thursday night. At h. n!- past one o'clock 011 Friday morning, the House divided, when the motion was negatived by a ma- jority of 96 to 27. Friday, June 13. BARILLA DUTIES, Petitions were presented1 from the kelp manufacturers of Donegall, and from the soapmakers of London, respecting the duties on barilla ; alter which ihe CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved the Order of the Day for the House going into a Committee on the barilla ac * Mr. BERNAL ejected to tbe measure altogether. The reduction of ihe duty from ' II. IBs. to 31. 5s. was imposed late last Session, and time had hot yet been given lo the barilla dealers to come - o any opinion on the subject. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER thought it would be more convenient to discuss this question in a Com- mittee ; he therefore hoped the Hon, Gentleman would not oppose the Speaker's leaving the Chair. The House then went into a Committee. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, he certainly had no intention to impose a duty on barilla merely for the purpose of conferring a benefit on the manufacturers of kelp. At the same time he must state, that the reduction of the duties on barilla took place at a period when those inter- ested were absent. The reduction of the duly was very in- jurious to the kt lp growers, and the reduction which took place also 011 salt at the same time vvas a measure highly in- jurious to them. Upon this ground he thought the kelp growers were entitled to some consideration. He would now therefore move that the duty should be raised from five guineas to eight guineas. The alteration to take place 011 the 5 » h January next, and to continue for five years. After some conversation the House divided, when the num- bers were, For the proposition, ... ... ... 100 Against it, .. ' 20 Majority, ... ... ... -— 80 SHERIFF OF LANARK. Lord BINNING said he would throw himse'f on the mercy of the House, whilst he made a communication relative to a most respeciabte individual whose conduct had been com- mented on by a Noble Lord ( Lord A. Hamilton), not now in his place, ' This Noble Lorn had, in his speech on the Scots Representation, rejected on the conduct of the Sheriff of Lanark. Mr. CANNING appealed to the Hon Member, if he thought it wise to pursue" this matter. He did not know the cause of complaint, but from the lew sentences he had heard, he was led to make this appeal to his Hon Friend. Mr- BROUGHAM most heartily concurred in tins ap- peal, not. only on account of the absence of the Hon, Mem- ber for Lanark, who ot course coukl alone give the explana- tion sought for, but because he was also substantially charged ; and if explanations were demanded by others, he would pur- sue ihe same course ; if other parties did not adopt this course, neither would he. He would call 011 the Hon. Member to postpone this matter until Tuesday, and perhaps in the mean time his reflection would prompt him to give it up altogether. Lord BINNING said he had no interest whatever in the transaction. He had made these remarks 111 consequence of a letter written to him by the Sheriff of Lanark, it would be now in vain for him to proceed, after the remarks made by the Hon. Members. The Noble Lord and he had agreed to meet in that House this evening; but he was contented to postpone any farther remark until next Tuesday, when he hoped it would suit the convenience of the Noble Lord to- be present. The SPEAKER said that it was of course usual to make explanations in the Houfle, - but a motion had never been made to that effect ; this, therefore, could not be considered as a motion ; it vvas admitted merely through the courtesy of the House. LONDON, June 16. A squadron of ships is preparing for attendance upon IKS Majesty to rendezvous at Spitlieadou the 24- th inst. Tii'ey will consist of the Royal George yacht, the Hon. T. 1). Cape!

NEIV MARKET Fon MILLINERY;— A few dats ago, a thrush carried off a lace cap from a grass plot, in York, atuhemploycd it in elegantly limn? its nest, on the top or a free. An express from Pans, which arrived in London on Saturday, brought the following intelligence, which is left in uncertainty by the interruption of the telegraphic communication from the state of the weather: PARIS, THURSDAY EVEMING.— The following was posted upo'n the Exchange this afternoon : Telegraphic Dispatch, Received from liayonne 12th June.

One of the most numerous and respectable meeting fOT many years/ held in the ri. fy of London, on Friday* convened at the London Tavern. Bishopsgute Street, for the purpose of pass- ing certain resolutions, and for entering into subscriptions for the assfstanee of* the Spanish nation. The meeting was appoVnted lor twelve o'clock, and soon after that hour, Lord ICrskine, Mr. L nnbto n,- Sir J. Mac kintosh, IVXr. Hobhouse, i\ lr, Felice, " Mr. Grey Bennet, Mr j. P. Grant, Mr. Marrv- att. Mr. Baring, Lord Lynedoch. Lord John Itusseff, Mr. Denman, Lord Nugent, Sir 11. Ferguson, and otber noblemen and Members of Par frame nt, were present* Previous to tbe chair being, taken, Mr. Hunt endeavour- ed to address the meeting, but was a/ most inrmediuisiy put down by tbe numerous voice of tbe assembly. Mr. J. C. flobhouse expressed a hope that the meeting wouid not suffer itself to be insulted by an individual, whose only object seemed to be to throw the torch of discord among them.—( Applvuse.) Lord Erskine, in the absence of Lord W. Bentinck, who liad notarrrived, was voted to the chair, shortly addressed the meeting. Lord W. Bentinck in tbe meantime arrived, and Lord Ers- kine vacated his seat. His Lordship ( Lord W. Bentinck) then briefly addressed the meeting. Heshould con fine himself to the mil- ifary part of this question.—( Hear). He had beard it said that the cause of Spain was hopeless. That was not the fact—( Hear). In 1808 he was sent to Madrid in a military character. He wish- ed to God he had been sent there upon the present oeca^ io'n—- ( Loud applause). In 1808 the Spanish army was disorganis- ed, but yet the cause triumphed, and he would say now, as he had said at that time, that he felt great confidence in the unconquerable spirit of the Spaniards—( Hear)'. Sir J. Mackintosh then rose to move the first resolution,, and commenced by paying a high encomium upon the charac- ter and conduct of his noble, his venerable, and illustrious friend ( Lord Erskine), who, in his earlier life, vvas the shield of the innocent, the weak, and unprotected, and io his latter days was the staunch and eloquent advocate of an oppressed yet noble nation, He alluded to the struggles of the inhabitants of Poland for liberty, and compared them with the present efforts of the Greeks and Spaniards. Let the cowards and slaves not profane the air of liberty with their breath, but let them crowd the courts of tyrants; the Spaniards wanted not such assistance. Did not the glorious victory of Marathon warm the heart of every lover of freedom ? The path which Kosciusko tr d was not more glorious, but ofight not to be less remembered, than the victories of the intrepid Washington. The distentions which' at present existed in Spain were no grounds for the invasion of that country by France ; but the French Government see.;' ed to boast of the triumph of despotism and in the dowtifal of reason ; that was its aim in th'e present contest. He conclud- ed with moving a resolution, dtclaratory " that every nation had a right of churing its own laws and institutions, and that any interference, with them by foreign Powers was to forfeit all claims to the blessings and dignity of independence." Mr. Marryatt seconded the resolution, and it was carried by acclamation. At the moment Mr. Brougham entered the room, and vvas loudly- cheered by the meeting. Lord Lynedoch moved a resolution, with a short preface, declaring that the heroism and perseverance shown by Spaniards in the late war against Napoleon was deserving ot the gratitude of all nations. Mr. Brougham seconded the resolution, and was received with the loudest cheers. Heaihided to the glorious efforts of Lord Lynedoch and Lord W. Bentinck in the cause of freedom. He wished all personal animosity and rancour of adverse reli- gious sects to be heard no more. All the nation should join hearts and hands in the glorious cause* He hated and detes- ted these base tyrants, but he should be proud to see them once again on the shores of England. What would be their recep- tion ? With neutrality ( for neutrality was the order of the day) would they be received, ( Hear, hear) Not a finger would be lifted up against them —( A laugh.) He hoped the spirit of freedom ^ ould spread like wildfire through the land — through- England, Ireland, and Scotland. He hoped '. bat this would- be the first of a thousand meetings, and that, the whole country would express the\ abhorrence it felt at the tyranny of these base despots. Mr. Brodgham concluded a most eloquent speech,, which produced a very great impiession, amidst the cheers of the persons assembled." Mr. Bering moved the third resolution, that the courage and moderation by which ( hi- Spaniards had liberated them- selves from the yoke of despotism was , so far fro>' m being a ground of complaint, that it gave them a fresh claim to the gratitude of mankind. Lord J. Russell seconded this resolution, which" was car-- ried unanimously. Mr. Denman said, that tire neutrality of the. Government ought to compel the people to, speak- boldly and manfully.— Well might the. Spaniards say in their proverb Defend me from my friends, for from my enemies 1 can protect myself' 5 He found a parallel between the former and the present war in Spain, and he might say now, as at that time, " All there was noble, save nobHitv, All kissed the tyrant's rod but fallen chivalry." He concluded with moving a resolution, which was seconded- by Lord Ebrington, That the war now made in Spain was not only a most unprincipled and- atrocious violation of the freedom of Spaniards, but of those principles which formed the basis of human society." Sir Ii. Ferguson moved a fifth resolution, stating the opinion of the meeting, " that it is the bounden duty of Britons to manifest their abhorrence of the injustice and violence of the Government of France, and their sympathy with the deeply injured nation which is the object of its aggression." This resolution was also put'and carried unanimously. Mr. Hunt next attempted to address the meeting, and, after considerable interruptiob, obtained a hearing. He proposed a resolution, by way of amendment, calling upon other meet- ings to imitate the example now set to them. It waspu: t, and negatived by a very large majority. Mr J. C. Hobhouse moved a sixtIi resolution, That a subscription be immediately entered into. He observed, that a sum of between L. OOOO and L. 7000 had already been voted. At the head of the list was the name of Mr. Lambton for L. 1000, and Sir F. Burdett Was L, o00. On this being an- nounced there was a general burst of applause. A'/ J VAL REGISTER.

How often have we been assured, that MIMA was reduced to the last extremity, and had by the most extraordinary accidents contrived to escape the pursuit of DoN'NADfEU, Vho holds a subordinate command under MONCF. Y, and what is the result ( Why this— that tlie commander of the foiecs in Catalo- nia, MONCEY, announces BY A telegraphic dispatch, that MTNA has unexpectedly made his appearance, and that he intends to march against him, as sonh as he shall have received the reinforcements announced by the iSlwuter of IVar io be npnn their way. Rut, as the French com- mander does not think it advisable to go against this de serted adventurer without reinforcements, would he wait his arrival, should he attempt to beat up his quarters before the promised aid comes to hand ? We rather think he wo- uld not— for MtNA commands a very fine army, more than equal in numbers to MONCEY S, and composed of . same uf the Very best Veteran troops iu the service of the Cortes. Moreover, the I. adiy'S of Barcelona the other dav presented him, at his request, with three thousand tri coloured cockades which, he assured his fair eountrywomen, should be bestowed to the best advantage, although he was not then at liberty to tell them how : and the French commanders, we are assured, must dislike these mysterious proceedings. In the mean time, the Armv of the Pyrenees being thus situated, what shall become of the sieges of St. Sebastian and Pnlnpehma, and how shall the Duke d'A N'GOUtEME keep up li s communications with France? I hese are questions of deep importance to his Royal Highness; for, should the Army of the Pyrenees prove unable to maintain its ground, the troops in advance at Madrid must be'in a situation of extreme peril. The latest ad- vices froth' Sir RoBEltT V. ILSON give a most favour- able account of the Spanish soldiers, who: are animated with the best spirit— and he confirms what has been stated before, that, if arms be found, there is tlo want of brave men to use them. The Subscriptions in aid of the Spaniards have been very liberal indeed in England, and we believe many thousand stands of arms are already on their way to Spain, for it seems very probable, that ere long thev w ill be unnecessary. " The French ( says Sir ROBERT WILSON) must verv soon try the fortune of arms in his coiiutry, and with a certainty of defeat, if I can ac- complish but one half of what I intend for the advantage of this country and our own." SUMMARY OF POLITICS. THE pains taken by the Editors of the Courier, New l imes, and other Journals of the same description, to represent the cause of the Spaniards as hopeless, and prevent the public meetings announced to be held in London, for the purpose of considering the best means of affording them assistance, sufficiently proved, that those who favour the cause of despotism are much afraid of the open expression of public feeling and opinion con- cerning the war commenced by France— and their fears were not without foundation ; for the meetings held in the metropolis, and the manly and generous sentiments of the speakers at these meetings, who unanimously re- probate the conduct of the Bourbons, and declare their hearty attachment to the cause of the Spaniards, must render the labours of the Journalists of this country in Bourbon pay of no avail. The conduct of the friends of liberty iu the Metropolis will be imitated throughout the Empire, for already subscriptions in aid of the Spaniards are set on foot in many districts of Englatjd ; and we have no doubt that tbe example of England will soon be followed bv Scotland. At the meeting, held on the 13th inst. to take into consideration the best means- of rendering effectual assistance to the Patriots of Spain, it is highly gratifying to find men of high rank and eminent talents, who haye on many political subjects differed, cordially agreeing in this— that the conduct of the French Government towards Spain is most iniquitous, and that the British people should render every assistance in their power to the Spaniards, thus Unjustly invaded. No less gratifying was it, to find the gallant veterans wdio had fought with Spaniards, and knew their charac- ter well, declaring their conviction, that final success must crown the efforts of the constitutionalists, whom they describe as nicn of unconquerable spirit ready to de- vote their lives for the establishment of their country's freedom. With the assurances of such men as the Noble Chairman, Lord WILLIAM RESTIN'CK, our gallant countrymen, Lord LYNUOCIJ and Sir RONALD FER- GUSON, together with the'testimony of Sir ROBERT WILSON, now a volunteer in the Spanish cause, that t' is is the fact, we are not to be misled by the gross falsehoods, daily issuing from the Bourbon press, and repeated by the Courier, New Times, and Jahn Bull. The British people are no longer to lie imposed o » by these misrepresentations ; they know that the Spaniards merely want arms— and these by tlip generosity of Eng- lishmen, ( and Scotsmen we trust will also contribute will be speedily furnished. The French force, very dif- ferent from what it was when under tlie command of . NAPOUJOS, is now scattered- into- detachments of no In our following columns, a Report will be found of the Meeting held here - yesterday, to consider of the best means of aiding the Greeks in the arduous but glorious struggle in which thev are now engaged for their liberty. It is not necessary, nor do our limits permit of any ex- tended remarks concerning, this Meeting at present; but we notice with great satisfaction, that a most satisfac- tory proof of the falsehood of the reasons assigned by the Courier, and other ministerial prints, for Mr. GORDON of Cairness having left the Greeks last year, and that bv Mr. GftitnoN himself, who sat on the Chairman's right hand, and addressed the Meeting in a verv energetic speech of considerable length. He ad- mitted, that the Greeks, almost every one of vjhom had to revenge the murder or dishonour of some near rela.- i • tive, had in repeated instances carried their vengeance beyond the bounds prescribed by civilized warfare, but ic did not on that account abandon their cause. Seri- ous indisposition was the cause of his leaving them for a lime, but his attachment to their cause is as ardent as ever; and we are assured, that he intends, now that his health is re- established, to rejom themina very shorttime. The novelty of a GORDON warmlv advocating the cause of civil and religious Liberty, and that of the Greeks, abandoned as it seems to be by Ministers aud Their de- pendents, excited a strong sensation in the Meeting, and he was frequently interrupted in his speech by loud itnd reiterated applause.

HELKS WAMACE, wifo of Lieut. EVAN MACPIIKHSOX, Aberdeenshire Militia, MEETING AT ABERDEEN IN AID OF THE GREEKS, A Meeting took place here yesterday, in Dempster's Hotel, for the above purpose, when ALEXANDER BANNERMAN, ESQ. was unanimously . called to ihe Chair. Mr. B ANNETtM AN said, that he was aware he was indebt- ed for the kind, partiality of the Meeting, to the accidental cir- cumstance of his having been appointed a Member of the Greek Committee of London, and in consequence of which, he had taken the liberty of requesting a Meeting of ( hose persons in this city, who m% bt feet an interest in tho present struggle of the Greeks- for the recovery of their- fest Liberty and Indepen- dence, regretting, as he did, hi* inability to advocate the cause of the Greeks, it was some consolation- to know, that eloquence was unnecessary in so good < md so glorious acause. lie did not antS- cipate that a large somof money could be collectedynor was it to be expected, considering the many claims that are made upon us nearer home. Still, ht was convinced something would bed one; and he conceived,' that even holding a Meeting in this distant part of the country, in behalf of the i> rave Greeks,' would be attended with, good effects, and stimulate others to - follow ihe example. He had already received several contributions, and among others, he was happy to acknowledge that of one of ( he Members of Marischal College— and it was with pleasure that he noticed the presence, oil this occasion, of the Principal of that Uitiversitv. Before sitting down, he would advert to one cir- cumstance, which he was sure the Meetiwg would participate in with pride " and satisfaction— thai we can claim a Countiy- mah m this. Meeting, MF Gour> yN of C^ iruess, a GeJUfceman no less distinguished for his literary acquirements, than the goodness of his heart and for the services he has rendered the Greeks, and his cont- inued devotioif to their cause. The Chair- man concluded by reading the Resolutions aud Address of the Loudon Committee, which already appeared ii, this paper, and which- were loudly applautled. Mr. P. BANNER MAN, Advocate, then rose and said, that, after the Address of the Chairman, and the Resolutions of the London Committee which had been just now read, it would be unnecessary for him to trouble the Meeting with many words. Every person, he saidr must be satisfied, • that the cause in which, the Greeks were engaged was. just, and one in which every good man must wish them success. U would not enter, at any length", int a description of Greece, and the slate or character otiu inhabitants ; but the present was certainly a cause in which a| i, partiesouuhl to unite, who regarded the religion jof our own country, faud the liberty and indepen deuce of it, and other enlightened nations. This could neyer be suspected" to be, or be called, a party question, and he was sure there was no sect or denomination of Christians in this eountry, who would not rejoice at ' he triumph of the Christian Greeks over the tyrannical y" ke of the Turks. Before proceeding far- ther, he said, the Meeting would enter- tain tlie highest satis- faction at being honoured with the presence of a Gentleman of this county, who, by the whole of his conduct and exertions in behalf of the suffering Greeks, and whose. character on that and other accounts stood deservedly high. It had been said, in certain quarters^ that tie Greeks were unworthy of support. He cou) d say, that * uch an opinion was perfectly unfounded. Although symptoms had sometimes occurred to shew, that some few Greeks are not so firm as the rest of their brethren 1 yet furnish the country with the means, and they will sh what they will do. The schools spreading over Greece are doing an immense deal of good, and i hope to see that country firmly established as an independent state. It has been said a^ ajuj that if Greece were to i? e fieed - from the Tuifcs, it would fall to Rus- Ia. But I have ntnVr fcad or heard of any nation who, afier shaking oil' one yoke, voluntarily placed themselves under another. The present is nor a war about a disputed territory or any thing of that kind, but is carried on, without cause, by the savage Turks against their unoffend- ing neighbours, and { heir only excuse or argument oflered. is the sword. In Seio they butchei4vd one hundred and thirty thousand men, women, and children, and yet these are the people whom- Britain, call;, her allies, and who are supported by that confederation so improperly termed the Moi, v Al- LIANCE. Mr. Banner- man concluded; by saving,, that it was only necessary that the nature of the cause should be more ge- nerally known to ensure it support, and that a nation strug- gling for liberty, in whatever Quarter of the'world, could never want countenance and. assistance i. n this country. Before concluding, he said, be would mention due circumstance asa sort of specimen of the temper of the Tu- kish aggressors against their Christian Urethrenrrrtbat. ubey had issued a pro- clamation to exterminate - the Greeks. Mr. Banner man then proposed the following Resolutions, and sat down amidst loud cheers. . RESOLVED, THAT, as the Greeks are novv engaged in the third year of a War for the . Recovery of their long lost Liberty, and the Res- toration of their " Countsy to its proper rank among Nations, in which it is of the utmost consequence to them to obtain assis- tance, it Is the dtuy of every civilized and Christian communi- ty, as far as they can, and by all advisable means in their power, to pro- mote their success. THAT this Meeting most cordially approves of the Resolu- tions of the public Meeting held in London on the 15th of May last, and will zealously co- operate with the Committee appointed by that Meeting, in tlje cause of the Greeks— « the descendants of those who set the brightest examples .. the world has yet seen of heroic Patriotism, and established standards of excellence in Philosophy, Jn Literature, and the ftne Arts, Which remain unrivalled after the lapse of ages. TifAT a Branch Committee be immediately appointed to communicate with the ' Loudon ' Committe, and to promote Subscriptions in aid of a cause so glorious, and at the same time so just and reasonable, as that of a Christian People struggling to free themselves from the ignominious and tyran- nical yoke of a race of Barbarians. Mr. GORDON of Cairness then rose and said, that,. after What had passed, he felt it incumbent on him to make a few observations, in . seconding the resolutions, and he regretted that the subject had not fallen into abler hands. He said, " Vou. are perhaps all aware, Gentlemen, that this is hot a cause in which a state has embarked to acquire a greater •* number of subjects, or a grea'er extent of territory. It is a • struggle of a whole and brave people, possessed of all the • energy and courage which ennoble man. taking up arms, re- " solved to perish, rather than submit to the inhuman and bar- barous inroads of ihe Turks." Mr. Gordon then entered into an animated and glowing description of ancient Greece, He saidv however much distrust or fear there might be with regard to their success, still tWey were engaged in a noble cause, and even if they were to be unsuccessful, yet they had the glory and satisfaction to recollect, that the defeat of LEONJ- DAS was more honourable to them and their country, than the triumph of XEKX. ES. We regret, that it is impossible for us to give even a faint outline of the substance and brilliancy of Mr. GOUUON'S speech, which, throughout, was received with loud plaudits. After alluding to. the state of different countries in Europe during the middle ages—- the system which had been pursued regarding them, and the plans. and policy of legitimate Governments— rtheir gallant defender said, that the justice of the cause of the Greeks was so great, and the expediency, and almost necessity, of supporting it so evident, that no man had yet been bold enough even to dare to call it in question. Mr. GOKCON continued, that never had any nation, or set of people, been placed in. so perilous a situation as the Greeks had been. They had been opposed by wealth— fleets of'regularly armed ships-—- armies and stores of every, kind ;, white they,, on the other hamt, had only a few small merchant vessels, and the bravery of their own countrymen to protect them. Under all those circumstances, he need hardly say, that at'the outset of the contest, no man could have contemplated the victorious career the Greeks have run, or can- conjecture what they are yet able to do. He himself was satisfied . that the result would be different from what was expected ( he. j would not say wished for) by some, but he thought that, from what he had seen and known of Greece, that it would soon he almost completely freed from Turks. Mr. GORDON then said, that the Greeks had im- plored assistance from this and other free countries, but, in big!) places it had been treated With indifference and aversion ; but, I am happy, said he, that, in my native country, I see'a different disposition. If, by the assistance of this country, the Greeks shall succeed in their rage for their liberty, independ- ence , and religion,, we shall all have capse to rejoice ; and if they fail, we sludi l^ ave the satisfaction of thinking that they did not fall ingloriously. Whatever may be the issue of the contest, the friends of the Greeks. can Honestly take merit to themselves that, at all events, they have done all in their poWcr. Mr. GORDON said, he would have here concluded, if he had not. heard it said in certain quarters, that the Greeks were as bad as jhe Turks, and that they had beeu guilty of many arts of-. perfidy and. cruehy. Now, he would venture to say, that every man who knew him, would be the last to suppose that he was capable of vindicating any improper conduct on the part of. the £ » reeks, or any oHier na- tion. But he denied the truth of the assertions. to such an ex- tent as had been made upon that subject. , It must be well known ( said he), that, in a war of that description, when a whole country is attempted to be put to the sword, that the war cannot be Carried on according to those nice feelings of honour, which have always distiiigui- bed the troops and inha- bitants of this country. Every, thing went to extenuate or alleviate the conduct of the Greeks ip such 0. cause, They were no common or ordinary sufferers. They had perianal wrongs to avenge — they had been threatened- with extermination, and whenever an opportunity ot? eted, the willingness to execute the threat had been manifested by the sacrifice of victims. The Greeks were, no doubt, justly enraged, at the. conduct of the Turks in putting to death, impaling, and burning their friends and relatives, and he would not express, an opinion whether the law of retaliation had been carried too far. Mr. GORDON sat down amidst immense applause.. The Chairman then again put the Resolutions to the vote of the Meeting, which were carried unanimously.

A great show of cattle came forward, of which \ a nu, mber were sold at fair prices^' There was also great de- mand for farm servants, and all those in the market were im- mediately engaged at very high wages. At the same time up- wards of fifty gentlemen and farmers in the surrounding dis- trict met, and dined together, at Forbes' Inn, when, after drinking the health of his Majesty, and of their noble master the Puke of Gordon, and several other loyal and patriotic toasts, it was proposed, and unanimously agreed to, to form an Agricultural Association in the district," to be denominated the* KirkmiehaeJ and Inveraven Agricultural Association ; aird ac- cordingly those present subscribed as members.

INVERNESS, June 19. On Tuesday last, THOMAS ALEXANDER" FRASER, Esq. of Lovat. having attained his twenty- first your, there were rejoic- ings of no ordinary kind in various par. sof this country, at tlj.> various places on Lova ' s extensive Estate, joined wilh tho most cordial demonstrations of joy ; the demeanour of the as- sembled multitudes was most orderly and correct. At Crai,;- corie, Muekle Phoenas, Little Struy, and Glenstrathfarar, in the Districts of. Aird and Strathgla^ s j and at Whitebridge ii> Strarlierrick, bonfires blazed, and abundance of meat— with Porter, Ale, and Spirits, distributed to the Tenantry; in place* too, not immediately connected w ith Lovat,' there were shewn the most gratifying manifestations of good wii} towards the fa- mily. Ken my lies, Torhreek, and Gulduthel shone particularly bright on. that night. The highest grouuds- of Fyers and Glen- mori* ton were lighted up, and the cannon op on- side replied to the cannon and shouts on the other," along the wild and rug* ged sfdes of Lof. huess. The view from Beaufor; presented to the assembled company at ( he Castle one of the finest scene* that can be conceived. The summit of every hillock,' as well as every higher mountain, started into a blaze, and the whola line of country over the brown heather and along the valliefj • seemedcovered with light and gladness. At the Castle about one hundred Gentlemen . sat down to a sum,- tuons entertain » ment. The place appropriated for the accommodation of dm party was the Court of the Castle, which was tastefully fitted up for this. occasion, and commanded many advanta re* . for a feast that could not be attained in any of the rooms, from each wing piUars were erected across the Court, which vvertj decorated w ith wreaths of flowers and boughs of trees. From these pillars to the balcony along tin* Castle w all, thewhole wan covered over with, sail cloth ; and by private doors and passages, access was had to every earner of this temporary banqueting hall. Here the company enjoyed a ull view of some excellent fire- works, wjiicb were managed with great skill and effect.— » A military band of tnusic from Inverness attended, and played appropriate airs, while the shell went round to the health and happiness of every branch of the Family of Lovat, and of tbd friends of the other distinguished personages who were present, Upon the health of Lovat being proposed by the Marquis of Huntly, the Noble Marquis$ ptly observed, in allusion to tb# place wtiere thecompany then sat, that their young friend hav- now got fairly under sail, t- bey would all join in heartily wishing him a prosperous voyage through life. The bail continued from l i till one o'clock, when an elegant supper gave breathing time from the dance,, which was resumed about an hour afterwards, and kept up with the great. st 6p? rit tiil five o'clock, yesterday morning. The absence of the Marquis of Huntly was observed at three in the morning, he bavinjj theh set off lor Huntly Lodge to meet a party at dinner on tho same day. The company at an advanced hour reluctant!/- broke up; and the time ot Lovat's births- day will '* be in their flowing. cups freshly remembered" by all that were there fop many d « iys to come. The happy event of Mr. PHASER of Lovat's coming of ag$ was- nowhere more joyously celebrated than 011 the estate of Mr. FRASER of FoyirSj " who is himself a Chief tain of the Clan FRASER and the representative of a family always staunch allies of the Chief. A bullock was killed, a hog-> bead of ale and another of porter,: with abundance of whisky, were distributed among his own tenantry and those of his Ltsmbie . neighbour* who bore the proud name of the day. At twiiigiu, a splendid bonfire was kindled on Cairnderg a commanding lieight, a mil? above- the house of Foyers, A piper and a tie: d- piece wero putin requisition , and the night wab spent in die greatest gleu aud hilarity.. In the absence of Mr. PHASER, who was sharing in the festivities at Beaufort, Mrs. FRASER presided over tl- o rejoicings, and, by her condescention and attention to th « comfort of her numerous guests, contributed largely to thtf happiness of the memorable day.
