I do, therefore, earnestly advise him to drpp his Gaelic MS, without delay, and retreat wifli as good a grace as possible ; or, if he is incurably smitten with 4< the itch of scribbling*" let him endeavour to hit on a subject better fitted to entertain your readers.. 1 am, Sir, your obedient servant, THOMAS TELL- TRUTH. Aberdeen, Sept. 19, 1* 2: 5. To the EDITOI* of the ABERDEEN CHRONICLE. SIR, T agree with your Correspondent B. that all religious meet- ings should breathe the sprirh of Charity, ft is, hoWever, r^ uite obvious, that he himself is deficient In that charity which he so s- rongly recommends in others. Your correspondent says, that certain words used at the meeting for the Jews, were foreign to the purpose O'the meeting." Now, Sir, it may be proper to mention tbe line of argument be was pursuing, vvhon he made use of those words — ' 1 Among many barriers which stood in the way and hindered the conversion of the Jews, was party spirit • he said this prevailed among the Jews to a great extent; it even prevailed among Christians ; every sect thought them- selves right. each was bigoted iff their own principles." The speaker then made use. of the wdrtfs cdmplasrred of by E< to shew, that those wfap* were partial- to a certain system wow. ld suffer any trial rather than. relinquish their own'"' Views.; fi- e men- tioned, not only the Baptists, but also other sects, who. be stid, were equally firm. He might also have- itfentioned the Pres- byterian. S;; did not the reformers. h^ iowning to that sect, stand firm, ana Cheerfully' suffer death io defence/ of their religion ? Why then. I ask, does E. suppose that an insult was intended to the Baptists, or to any other sept, or that the words used by the Rev, Gentleman were foreign to th$ purpose of the meet- ing ? The concluding sentence of your Correspondent's letter . fits- covers every thing in it but religionbut such strictness may, indeed, seem strange to those, who love'greetings in the market places, and to be called of men. Rabbi. Rabbi" " The bf uv here aimed at the IieV. Gentleman wfll have no effect— it can- not hurt himr— his reputation stands on too sure a foundation to be shaken by such unchristian, illiberal, and futile attacks — I appeal to everyone who knows the Rev.-. Gentleman alluded to. if there is on earth, a man who c;* res less than, he does for the applause of the world. But* allo wing that he were anxious far " greetings iti the market places," it would say little in fa- vour of the world in general, if; they were to bestow this ap- plause as a compensation for railing on the Anabaptists, or " in- deed on any sect whatever; so that your correspondent may ^ endeavour to point out some other way by which the favour of men may be obtained. There is also, in this sentence, a Charge of unfirmness thrown out against the. Rev. Gentleman, which is too gross to be replied to,. Without referring to the spirit of such remarks, which require no-- comment,•'* I shall conclude with putting E. in mind of a precept with which he is rfo doubt well acquainted, hut which- he has at. this time en- tirely forgotten— ' Judge not,_ lest . ye be judged." B. Xchoolhill, Sept. 23, 1823. CIRCUIT INTELLIGENCE. To the EDITOR of the ABERDEEN CHRONICLE. SIR, PERMIT me to offer a few words of advice to your Cor- respondent, 44 a Highland Antiquary,'" concerning the trans- lations from the Gaelic with which he is going to favour the public. 1 have no intention to find fault with tbe manner in which he introduces his letters— for, what does it signify to your readers, whether they are translations^ or bis own composi- tion ? Besides, the public is too knowing in these matters^ now- a- days. to be duped by so trite an artifice as he uses.— But really the first of these letters is rather startling • it is short enough to be sure, but it exhibits every sympt » m of being the forerunner of a correspondence of the most appalling length, dujiness. and stupidity. We have'already, in this specimen, no less than two pair of lovers, whose inclination* are, as usual, thwarted by an obstinate lather; we have highland names and highland chieftains ; and in short, all the requisites of a com- mon- place sentimental novel, without a particle of the wit and humour, or delineation of character arni manner, which alone can render novel writing interesting. Now, many sensible persons would imagine, that the liberal supply of Novels, in the Circulating Libraries of this town, might be sufficient to satisfy the most voracious appetite for this species of mental food— iray, even that of Miss BOSK BODY herself; but it seems your correspondent is of a different opinion, for he still thinks it necessary to come forward with his small inoisel weekly ito case of any deficiency. The public is certainly obliged to any person who is willing to contribute toils amusement; but what human being does he conceive can feel any interest in a story continued for perhags many months^ in such small portions, house." but tfoe man did not ruh in « straight direction to it.— « Tbe night was rainy, and very dark for the season.

[ Concluded from our last.] SATURDAY. Sept. 20.— The Court met at oVlock, and proceeded to the trial of William Wilson,- blacksmith in Cullen. accused of assaulting jjnd deforcing Samuel Limme'x, and a party of the Preventive Water TJuard, at Portlong.. on the 9th September, IS22. a nt{ Carrying off a seizure. prevjously made by the sard party. The pannel pled^ Not Guilty, and tbe case went before a Jury.' Samuel Limmex, chief boatman of the preyeutive water- guard at Buckie, was on duty on the 1 J> i- h September, 1822, in company wM* two perat> ns of the name of NixOn and * flan ; met with four carts and goods, on the road to Cullen, which witness partly suspected to be foreign tetfsand spirits, or tobac co, and seized them } there were seveu or eight persons With the carts ; witness and party proceeded along with them about a quarter bf a mile, when a crowd gat' ered aroun i them and struck them, and having oh tructed them, took off* the goods; witness heard a person cry opt" One and all ;' J William Ailan immediately called out 44 they h td killed Nixon ;" witness stepped back and found Nixon on the ground, near the hind- most cart. Tbe people who obstructed witness and party then drove the Carts away. and. they did not get up to the carls again ; rsome person knocked witness down, but does not know who struck/ him ; saw several persons armed with sticks; would not know any of them again ; witness considered himself de- forced. Every one of bis party had a loaded pistol and cutlass, but did not use them ; Nixon had his arms taken from him. For the Pannel— Does not know whether the drivers of the carts were engaged in the squabble ; the driver of the first cart did not. seem engaged. By the Court—^ Carts were d rive oofF by their origin d drivers ; the drivers did not strike nor oppose them, but assisted in dnv ing otF the carts ; party consisted of three persons ; is not certain whether he saw the panne! there. William Allan was along with Nixon and Limmex on the above occasion ; they directed. tbe drivers to proceed to Cullen A mob gathered round the Carts, and an attaek was made; witness received a blow ; did not see any others of the party struck % carts were driven away during the attack, - md witness did not get up to them again ; witness would not know any of the people who were there. Thomas Nixon was with Limm^ x and Allan when they seized four carts ; witness was knocked down and kicked, and thrown oft'the road, and struck with a stick very severely ; Carts were driven off; a man came up. who said Do not u-^ e the man so ill ;" has seen pannel both before and since, tut cannot say whether he was there or not. Joseph Gordon, now or lately carter in Cullen, was driving one of the four carts which were seized ; recollects a crowd at Cullen, when the carts were driven away; knows the pan neb whom he saw there ; pannel went along with witness, when he went away with tlfe carts ; did not see panne!'' before that ; it was about 20 yards from Cullen when they got off; does not know whether the pannel assisted in driving off the ca » ts. By the Court— The carts went different roads ; the pannel was with witness. Witness*, horse ran about half a mile, and pannel ran with him ; thinks panuel ran so fast, in order-' to save the cart from the officers. Here an objection was made to the designation of next wit- ness. which being sustained by the Court, the Advoeite- De pute abandoned the case, and Lord Gillies dismissed the pannel simpliciter from the bar. Counsel for the prosecution— Mr M'NeilT. For the pan- nel— Mr. Grant. Agents— Mr. James Simpson, and Mr. George Wilson. Edward Hepburn, travelling merchant, and Joseph Graham both lately prisoners in the Jail of Banff, Were accused bf theft and prison- breaking.

The libel was found relevant, but the Advocate- Depute restricted it to the charge of prison breftl& ing. file pattnel was found guilty of prison- breaking in terms of bis own confession, and was sentenced to three months' imprisonment in the jail of Banff.

The evidence was circumstantial hot conclusive. Al- though so lot; o a time had passed, the horse and watch of the deceased were traced to the hands of the prisoner, who had also left the country on the committal ot'the muruer. The unfortunate culprit, who had escaped the punish- ment due to crime tor so long a period, and who had in the interim married a respectable wife in Galway, main- tained, foi the last iteo Veara* twr unexceptionable char- acter, and a fanidt of five children, find* also ah indepen- - dence not often found ill that rank of life. ' He was supposed to be worth at least 1- 5001. of capita!, and had twenty three acres of land, nearly rent- free for ever,— • His behaviour, previous to conviction, exhibited ex- treme levitv, having danced'tlown the steps ol'the Uthrrt- house on the preceding evening. Even 6n this awful occasion he retained his tirmness, stating atidiblv, and with a strong tone of voice, that he did not' care a. tar- thing for the sentence, as he would'die iniTaCi-' nt, and k: jit up th.- same tenor of conduct, and assertions ofin- noceriee, even to Ins brothers ; he, however, acknow- ledged to the Sheritf, about eleven o'clock on Wednes- day night, that he bad been at tfrfe iriUrder, a'ftd Was about ten yards olf when it occurred ; that the person' who murdered him was named James Hughes, and tha be took that name when lie went to Gal way. On Thursday last, this unhappy man paid the forfeit attached to his crime ; he appeared on the . scaffold in front of the g. tol. about twenty minutes before' two' o'clock ; and after addressing a lew words to the assem- bled multitude, stating iu suiigtawe, that he was about to suffer justly, and that quarreling had brought him to' his untimely end ; lie knek down in praveK with tbi Ca- tholic Clergyman w ho attended h. nr, and after ten or twelve minutes spent with apparent i'ervour in his devo- tional exereises. he arose and stood erect -. and when the Clergymen retired, pulled the cap over his lace, witlf apparent ilrmness and seli'- possessioa ; and a short time after the fatal drop fell; when, from his great weight, the rope broke, and the miserable wretch Cell, upwards* of twenty feet, on' tbe ground ; he alighted on his feet, and from his hands being pinioned immediately t'eH back, and by the surrounding spectators it was hopfd' lie WaJ either dead or senseless. Phe soldiers, with rapii. huma- nity, immediately earned him inside the gaol gate, and we are informed, that in a few minutes he sat upright upon his own coffin, and asked for a drattaht of water. After a period of nearly an hour and a hall- had elapsed, he walked up thg stairs leading to the platform ; he was brought out again ; knelt dotvii with tue Clergyman with apparent firmness ; and, as statcd'bv those immediately beside him, appeared as much, or ipore jili aid of a se- cond fall, than'of his . tpprodcliing dissolution; He was lau cbed into eternity at a quarter past three, and tho sensation excited by the first . all'sent a rumour through the asstmbl d multitude with the quidmess1 of lightning, and through- every part of, he tcrtvu, that the rope had uroken a second tube, which; fortunately, was not' cor- rect.

AkbTDOT'S.— 1 he folio ting whimsical circuTiistance and peculi ir coincidence, it is Said, actually took' place some time since : — A boat ascending the Ohio river was hailed bv another boat, when the following conver- sation ensued :—•" What boat is that?"

" Miil- stonis and' grind? timet! ' You are a hard set to be sure j take ca e you do not jo tu the botwsa,—£ ai » « ir « iL" down to the Strolling mendicant. Can such a benighted race step suddenly into a free and representative govern- ment— the hasis of which are moral principle, intellectual light, private virtue, and public spirit? Alas! I must negative ttie proposition." I will add a few observations on the tract of country lying between Tampico and the city of Mexico. ' 1 liis tract is one hundred and twenty leagues m extent, the CITY OF MEXICO. Tlie following account of the appeaVante oT the city of Mexico, by an American citizen, is Copied from the Kentucky Reporter. The architecture of Mexico is ' truly splendid, and the buildings massive beyond conception. Houses of from six to seven hundred feet square, and occupied bv a single family, are not. uncommon. Their walls are all of vol- | greater part of which is a perfect wilderness, inhabited ennic stone, well plaistered over and whitewashed, and ! alone bv wolves, tigers, panthers, and monkeys. In man i' of the houses beautifully painted without and with- j passing it the traveller must procure m tiles ( horses^ re in. Thev ate built to last for ever, and in consequence ' not sure footed enough for the road), a muleteer and ofthcrebeing scarcely a particleof wood in the whole fab- 1 guide, pack all the necessaries of life. The scenery of ric, ate fire- proof. The stair steps are marble, the ra ! this tract is truly romantic and sublime— the road win- lings and balustrades of iron and brass, and the floors of ding through deep and dark chasms, or over mountains marble or tile. The doors are plated over with sheet- the most precipitous and elevated of the Eastern Cor. lil- iron and copper, and the windows are like those of a ler. is. The traveller, after leaving the coasts finds him- prlson, without shutters, and secured bv strong grates of , self gradually ascending till he attains an elevation ot frorn iron* These wonderful buildings, together withthe great three to five thousand feet. This is the usual height of regularity and wldeness of the streets, their elegant pave- j heavy land clouds, and as there is but little variation in nit'iits, and line sewers, gave to the city an abearance which as far surpassed my expectation as the country around fell below - it. The church put up bv Cortez looks new and tmdcfaced in any part. Their splendid cathed- ral cost the work of ninety years constant labour. One hundred thousand dollars is in our country, thought an extravagant price for the building of a house, while here one million is not ( infrequently expended. In short, there is no city in the world that can compare with it ill number of fine buildings. It is true, that in magnitude it falls far below many cities of the old world, and is pro bablv but little superior to that of Philadelphia and New Yoik ; though, notwithstanding it has the advantage of all others in one respect, there not being an indifferent building in it. The city has a permanent population of one hundred and thirty- seven thousand; one- fourth of which have no habitation, but pass their existence in the open streets. At present there is a temporary influx, probably of one thousand of the latter description of population. The valley of Anahuac, of w hich Humboldt speaks as being so spacious and well cultivated, is scarcely entitled to the name of a valley. It is a narrow stripe of country, closelv bordered with hills and mountains, covered with volcanic rocks and barren sands. There is not one sprig of native timber, neither on the hills nor ill the valley, near the eitv. Nor is this owing to the lands being cultivated, ( for there is more than one- half untillable) but to the ex- treme sterility of the soil, which in many places consist of dry sand ; and as there are eight months in a year dur- ing which it never rains, whatever little vegetation there is becomes as dry as a crisp. The Indians pack brambles, coal, and mule's dung the distance of many leagues, upon their backs, and sell itas fuel for cooking ; for the inha- bitants make no other use of fire, there not being a chim- ney nor fire- place in the empire. Mexico has a vegetable market not inferior to any in the world. These vegetables are cultivated upon what Humboldt very erroneously denominated " floating gar - dens." These floating gardens are spots of ground, re- claimed from the swamp on the borders of the lake, by digging ditches and canals in different directions, inter- secting each other ; thus affording a free passage for boats and skiffs to pass in everv direction from patch to patch— these are the Baron's " floating gardens," as firmly fixed as the island of Cuba. There is moisture enough to support vegetation the whole year round, and three or four crops of some species are raised. But when Humboldt speaks of three or four crops of corn and wheat upon anv other part of the high ground or table land, he does it without authority ; for during the dry season of eight months, it is well known that there is not humidity sufficient. The learned man's observations on the features and agriculture of the country, are, as all modern travellers agree, verv inaccurate. Owing to a want of timber, there is not a fence in all the country, and ditching is useless for the clouds of sand which drift before the . wind soon fill them up. The farmers, therefore, have herdsmen, who watch the stock dnv and night. Mexico Is overtopped by mountains on three sides, and the volcanos Popcatepett and Iztneceinatt, clad in eternal snows, rear their hoary heads full in front. The ladies, in appearance and manners, are not so pleasino as the gentlemen. They are, in general, of dark complexion, with coarse features, and countenances expressive neither of intelligence nor refined feeling.— They are all critics upon bull and cock fighting, the two favourite sports of all classes. On oneoccasion I attended a bull baiting, where there were upwards of 20,000 per sons collected to witness the sports. It commenced at 3 P. M. and by six o'clock there were six bulls and four Inrses kii'ed ; several were led from the ring with their bowels trailing on the ground, while others, with their riders, were much maimed. This sight seemed to give life and animation to the ladies, and excited immoderate laughter. Thev are all, voting and old, smokers of to- bacco ; and the first civility offered the visitant is a se- gar and invitation to puff with them. Mexico at this time exhibits a scene of horror and human degradation. The streets are throughout the day crowded with beggars, and at night with prostitutes and assassins. The mines, in consequence of the violence of the Government, and rapacity of the rulers who seized on all the wealth taken from them, have been ne- glected. Enterprising capitalists from the country have left it, and carried with them their wealth ; while others who have money out have called it in, and hoarded it for safe keeping ; thus leaving the country almost without money, and reducing many to acts they would scorn in better times. Colonels and priests are now to be found among the most importunate beggars. Intellectual cultivation is also at a low ebb, and has ever been greatly inferior to what we have been led to believe. Upon my inquiring of an intelligent friend some time resident in the city, and who is writing the history of the country, what the present state of intel- lectual and moral improvement was, and whether it had ever been such as described bv Humboldt, he answered me as follows :—" Baron Humboldt's History of New Spain, abstracted from his mathematical demonstrations, his statistics and philosophical observations, may be com- pared to the picture of a deformed object ; unless, in- deed ti e physical as well as intellectual character of the country has, since he wrote, bt en totally subverted,— About 84 in 100 persons," continued he, " are natives and casts of different gradations ; 80 in 100 may read, a smaller number may write. Born, bred, and educat- ed in the grossest idolatry, a liberal, souud sense of re- ligion is unknown ; and when I have proposed to the clergy the gratuitous distribution of the Holy Evange- lists, to the extent of a thousand copies, I have been • told that the book was interdicted, and it was obseived, that the people were mare happy in ignorance. Assas sinations are common in the streets, yet I have never heard of a punishment nor complaint. Notwithstanding the number of the aged, the blind, the dumb, the deerepid, and maimed of all ages, sex. and colours, who infest the streets for alms, I hear of no charitable institution for their relief ; and the expres- sion of pitv. compassion, or humanity, had never struck my ears from man or woman. As to intelligence, what can be expected from people secluded from the world, and prohibited the use of books ? Will mere scholastic acquirements, scattered with a sparing hand, convey to the mind useful knowledge or practical information ?— No I ninetv in one hundred are buried in the profound- est ignorance, without morals, manners, or a ray of in- tellectual improvement. Thefts, falsehood, fraud, gamb- ling, and fornication, are familiar, and excite neither disgust nor horror, and with the exception of the first ant? third imputations, pervade all ranks and professions, from the purpled bishop and the bespangled1 marquesa, altitude for the next hundred miles, he is every evening enveloped in clouds and heavy dews. This region is h mdsomely variegated, and the scenery beautiful beyond conception. The timber is palm, interspersed with groves of thick foliage, and under shrubbery of citrons, limes, lemons, and oranges, all native, which strew the the ground with their fruits. The roads, after leaving this region of palm, ascend briskly through oak land to that of pine. Mountains novv rise on mountains, till they majestically lower above the clouds. 1 lie traveller is now compensated for what be suffered from the humi- dity of the atmosphere below— for he can sit in a clear and serene sunshine and look down upon the clouds, and lightning, and storms that pass in terrible array many thousand feet beneath him. Here might the poet con- template with rapture the sublime works of nature, and the painter jnourtrav her most wonderful, rude, and ma- jestic features. The track on some of those peaks is so narrow as scarcely to afford room for a single mule to pass; in consequence of which the muleteers have taken the precaution to bell their mules, and such as are going from the city, hearing the bells, await the passage of those travelling towauls it. Previously to this regulation there was much confusion, and those poor beasts were not unfrequer. tly precipitated from the road, and with their packs, dashed to pieccs against the rocks below.— On passing those straits, for the first time, you are seiz- ed with a vertigo, while the awful sublimity of thescenery around paralyzes the movement of the feet. - • -—. -| i DUMFRIES, 5npt. 11.— The Circuit Court was opened here this day, by Lord Pitmilly. John M Grorie pleaded guilty to a charge of theft, aud was sentenced to six months imprisonment. GfOr< re Scott, mariner on hoa^ d the Christina of Carlisle, accused of murdering Arthur Rickards Johnstone, by stabbing him iu the abdomen with a Unite, at Annan, on the IOth June last, was outlawed for not appearing. John Douglas, accused of forgery, was dismissed fVorn the bar on a verdict of Not Proven.- On Friday, George Armsmmg.' tope- maker. was put to the bar, accused of assaulting Joun Hogg, carter in Dumfries; but the Advocate Depute stated, that in consequence of some circumstances which had come to his knowledge since he arrived in Dumfries he believed he should not be able to identify the prisoner, and should there- fore move that the diet he deserted. This wis accordingly done, and the panne! dismissed with a suitable admonition. This finished the criminal business at Dumfries. MISCELLANEOUS. UNITED SECESSION SYNOD. On Tuesday the 16th inst. there was read a representation and petition, by two members of the Presbytery of Aberdeen, giving a particular statement of the means which have been adopted to promote itineraries in the hounds of that Presby- tery. There was no member of the Presbytery present but one, and, on account of the absence of the ether members, the consideration of this petition was deferred until next meeting of Synod. The call from the congregation of Largs to Mr. M'Lean of Cupar Angus, was next brought before the Court, when after some discussion, the Synod unanimously translated him to Largs, and the Presbytery of Glasgow is appointed to in- duct him to said Congregation with all convenient speed. There was r? ad a representation by the managers of the congregation of Burntisland, stating that an attempt has been made to deprive them of a part of their property, on the sup- position that, by their connection with the United Secession Church, they have departed from their principles, and asking the advice and assistance of the Synod. This petition was re- ferred to a Committee, to take advice on the subject, and to report as soon as convenient. The Committee appointed to consider of the means by which the system of theological tuition may be improved, pre- sented their report, which was read. I'he Synod unanimous- ly agreed that thanks should be given to the Committee for preparing this report, and under their direction it is to be printed, and copies sent to the members of the Synod, that they may be prepared for the consideration of it at a future . meeting. On Wednesday the 17th, the Synod took into consideration the competing calls from the congregation of Queen Ann Sireet, Dunfermline, St. Andrew's Street, Leith, and the first congregation of Cupar Angus to Mr James Whyte, preacher After hearing the parries concerned, Mr Whyte was called upon, who stated that the sentiments which he had expressed in his letter to Mr. Culbertson presented by that gentleman to the Synod on Friday, remained unchanged, and that he could neither accept of any of these calls, nor con- tinue to receive appointments as a probationer. The Synod, sifter some deliberation, agreed unanimously to prefer the call from Dunfermline, and the Presbytery of Dunfermline was appointed to take the regular steps to forward the settlement of Mr. Whyte in the pastoral charge of that congregation. With this decision the commissioners from Dunfermline see m- ed to be highly gratified. A committee of Synod, consisting of Doctors Hail, Ferrier, Mitchell. Hugh Jamieson, and Messrs. Mackenzie and Ross, was appointed to converse with Mr. Whyte for the purpose of endeavouring to remove his ob- jections against complying with the deed of the Synod, ap- pointing him to Dunfermline. In the evening, the committee reported that they had con- versed with Mr. Whyte, and had not been successful in their endeavours to remove his objections against submitting to or- dination at Dunfermline, but that he would consider the mat- ter with that seriousness which its importance demands, and the gentlemen above- named, with the Moderator ( in the room of Mr Ross, who is a member of the Presbytery of Dun- fermline) are appointed to converse with Mr. Whyte. for the purpose of persuading him to accept of the call from Dunferm line, and to report to that Presbytery as soon as they shall have done w hat they think requisite in this case ; and the same committee is afterwards to meet at Dunfermline, for the purpose specified in the motion adopted by the Synod last week. The Synod terminated its proceedings on Thursday. During the sederunt a variety of routine business was transacted. The distribution of preachers until the next meeting of the Synod was approved, and ordered to be printed, and circulated as u^ ual w ithout delay. An overture by some members of the Presbytery of Stirling and Falkirk, in reference to the aid winch should be extended to weak Congregations, was order- ed to be printed, for the consideration of the members of the Court. The committee appointed to consider of the methods by which the Synod Fund may be improved, and the means afforded for more extensive operations in diffusing the know- ledge of Christ in the darker places of our own country, pre- sented their report, which was read. The Synod could not enter fully into the consideration of this report, but several regulations, having this object in view, were in the mean time adopted. The report of a Committee for improving the library connected with the Divinity Hall was read, and is to be printed, that it may be under the consideration of the mem- bers of the Court. The committee appointed to consider the various applications for aid from the Synod Fund reported the cases submitted to them, and a considerable sum was granted in aid of weak congregations, and for promoting the preaching of the Gospel in the more destitute parts of the country, amoun'ing to from 1301. to 2001. On the preceding evening there had been submitted to the Synod, a letter from a gentleman in the south of Scotland, ad- dressed to the Rev. P. Young and J. Clark of Jedburgh, pro- posing to place at the disposal of the Synod 10001. for promot- ing the spread of the Gospel in Scotland, and in the northern counties of England, on conditions which he specified. Messrs. Culbertson, Lothian, and Brown, were yesterday appointed to write him expressing the sense which the Synod entertains of his zeal to diffuse the knowledge of Christ, and of his liberality in this good cau^ e, and to give him an arc - uat of the proceedings of the Synod in consequence of his generous proposal The next meeting of the Synod is appointed to be held in Edinburgh, on the last Tuesday of April next. CIRCUIT INTELLIGENCE. The Circuit Court of Justiciary was opened at Ayr, on Sa turday the 6th curt, by the Hon. Lord Suecoth. The first ca^ e was that of Alexander Smith, who was accused of killing James Hamilton while fighting ; he pleaded Not. Guilty. It appeared from the evidence that the deceased was verv quarrel some, and that he got his death from fall.-,. The advocate' depute deserted the case, and be was found Not Guilty - James Anderson, David Glen. Margaret Frew, and Margaret JEDBURGH, Sept. 16.— The Circuit Court of Justiciary was opened here this day by the Hon." Lord Pitmilly. The Court met about ten o'clock, when Walter, Ferguson alias Tinlin, and George ITardie, stocking- makers, were brought to the bar accused of stealing twelve hanks of woollen yarn from a bleaching ground, on the 3d of July last, The prisoners pleaded Guilty, and were sentenced to six months* imprison- ment in the Castle of Jedburgh.. His Lordship was induced to make their punishment thus lenient in consideration of their youth, this being the first offence, and the frankness with which they had all along confessed their guilt. The next trial was that of Robert Scott, for the wilful mur- der of James Aitcheson, cooper in Greenlaw, and Robert Simm, horse- dealer there, upon the road leading from Earis- toun towards Greenlaw, when returning from Earlstoun Fair, in the evening of theSQih of June last. The Indictment stated, that the prisoner did " wickedly, maliciously, and feloniously attack and assault the, deceased James Aitcheson. cooper in Greenlaw, and county of Ber- wick, and the deceased Robert Simm, horse- dealer in Green- law aforesaid, and did. with a sheep- stake, or bludgeon, or stone, or some other lethal weapon, to the prosecutor unknown, cruelly and barbarously inflict various severe blows and wounds upon the persons of the said James Aitcheson and Robert Simm, whereby the head and left leg of the said Robert Simm were fractured and broken, and the head of the said James Aitche- son was severely wounded ; and did likewise, with a knife or other sharp instrument, to the prosecutor unknown, in a cruel and barbarous manner, cut .- and slit the noses of the said James Aitcheson and Robert Simm ; in consequence of all which they were both and each or one or other of them bereaved of life." & c. The prisoner pleaded N- t Guilty; and special defences were also given in for him, containing a plea of self defence.— Witnesses were then called, the w > first whom proved that the deceased and the prisoner had heenquan - lli;,^ on the road, and that Ihe lattePs face wis bidding. The third witness. James Waldie, deponocf— I wa-. at E trls'ou \ fair on the 50th of June last, and on rm road home overtook the prisoner be- tween seven and eight-'' clock in the evening. Broomfield and Stark were near him. and so were Slsnm and Aitcheson. It was between Fans and Purveshaugh. Hie prisoner told me that Simm and Aitcheson had abused him. Neither Broom- held nor Stark made any observation when he said so. I con- tinued with the prisoner, Aitcheson, and Simm. fur some time, and then went on with Stark and Broomfield, who, however, left me oo our approaching Fans 1 observed Simm and Ait- cheson washing the prisoner's face at a well near Fans, but saw no more of them till they came to mv own house, which is situ- ated towards the east- end of the village. It was now near nine o'clock. The prisoner ordered me to take Simm into custody, but I refused, telling him I neither had authority, nor saw any occasion for it, and advised them to go home good friends. Simm and Aitcheson did accordingly walk away after having shaken hands with me. When the prisoner wanted Simm taken into custody, the latter said he was willing to go before any person he chose. Simm and Aitcheson were out of sight lie fore the prisoner left my door. He then went a few yards along the road, but returned with a bundle he had in his hand, and said he would thank me to keep it till he called for it. He assigned no reason for leaving the bundle He had about a mile to walk to his own house. On going away after leaving the bundle, he took hold of the spar of a gate, with the inten- tion, as I thought, of pulling it off, but he did not succeed. After the prisoner was gone. I stood a good while upon the road in conversation with George Mercer, joiner in Fans, who lives in a house opposite to mine, and had come but when he saw the man standing speaking at my door. But Mercer say- in * he heard something, and su peeling mischief, we proceeded east the. road with a lad of the name of Boyd. Having gone about a quarter of a mile, we saw nothing, but heard a cry in the direc tion of Henless. The c y was " Andrew Robertson !" twice repeated, and someothei words which I could make no sense of. It was a calm evening After hearing these cries I said to George Mercer, " i hey have got quite forward, we will just return again " On our way back to Fans we met Phiiip Duff, and Mercer told him t ai some persons had had 1823, is decided ; and Barefoot, after running tlie race twice,' is declared the victor, thus proving the old adage, that public running is the sure and safest criterion to hack a horse. Barefoot has started, from two years old up to the present time, for seven races,, out of which he has won six, and always beat ins horses clever! v.— The first time; lie ever started was. for the Two. Years OM at York Spring Meeting, 1822, where lie was beat bv Mr. Powlett's Miss Fanny, who lately fell amiss. It appears there were three false starts, and that on the fourth 23 horses got awav, leaving" fourliehind ; the Since tbe taking of the Trocadcro, we have been con- / tinuallv occupied in establishing batteries to obstruct tiny navigation, and to injure the shipping of the enemy, well as their works near tfie Trocadero. BERRIO PLANO, Sept. 9.— There i- nothing new be- fore the walls of Pampeluna. In about three or four days, we hope to attack the rebel town on all points, and to take it bv assault.

Mr. Watt has not won the Leger since 1813, although he has often been verv near. Barefoot, we b'- lieve, is not the sole property of that Gentleman, Mr. G. Crortipt6n, of York, being half owner. Tom Gooihson rode the winner, and W Scott, Sherwood We have not time to give the particulars respecting the other horses, from the lateness of the hour ( five o'clock) at which the race was over. The only alteration tiiat took place in the betting from out- list above, was, that the odds at starting were 20 to 1 against the winner.

PARIS, Sept. 15.— It seems certain that the yellow fever has shown itself at Port St. . Mary. A cordon has been established to. prevent communication with the other troops. I give this as I have it. without vouch- ing for it, hut it is from verv high authority. Some letters arrived to day bv express, announce, that an epidemical disease, br > ught in by a ship arrived from Ilavamia, has . shown itself at the Port of Passage. Several Officers of. Health were immediately sent to the spot bv the Military Authorities to ascertain the nature of the malady, which we hope will have no un- pleasant' consequences. At all events the necessary pre- cautions have been taken. The vessel which brought this disease arrived two months ago, which proves that the malady has no viru- lent character. The Duke de Gu chc delivered to the King of Spain the Letter of the Duke of Angouleme in presence- of some Members of the Cortes. He dmed with Valdes. Iliego had re- entered Cadiz after his flight from Malaga. A telegraphic dispatch announces that the Bretonne arrived at Brest the 13th, having on board Rear Admi- ral Hamelin. As we yesterday announced his Royal Highness the Duke d'Angouleme would not receive General A lava; and he has declared he . vili listen to no propositions until the King himself arrives at his head quarters; that his Majesty will then be at liberty to grant a general amnes- ty.

The Memorial Bordelais, U' der date of St. Sebas- tian, savs—" Within two davs a report prevails of an epidemic disease which lias broken out at. Passage, j brought in a vessel from Ilavanna. Several individuals j having actually died within a few davs, and after a verv short illness, the Surgeon- Majors of three regiments have been sent thither." A Journal gives the following Decree of the Prefect of the Upper Khirte:— SEPT. S.— The Prefect of the Upper Rhine, having been informed that prohibited arms are forged in the ma- nufactory ofM. Vover d'Argenson, proprietor of forges at Ouerbruck : and that there are some of these arm*, or of weapons as well in the dwellings of the Sieur Voyer d'Argenson, as at that of the Sieur Matthieu Koe- ing, he advised him to push on and prevent its taking place.— Andrew Robertson is a mason, and resides at Henless. I sav, him between ten and eleven o'clock ( about an hour aud a half after the prisoner had left my house), and he told me that one man had een killed on the moor, and another was fast dying, and desired me to call assistants and go east. 1 did so, but the men had by this time been removed to LtghtfielJ. One of them was still living, ate' I - ked him his name, which he answered was, Robert Simo , and lhat he came from Greenlaw, lie said something more but I could. not make any sense of his wor is, owing, as I thought, to the state he was in. Ait- cheson had a laige wound on the back part of his head and his nose was cut. Simm's leg was broken, and his f ee was much cut, apparently with some sharp instrument. I do not think the prisoner had a stick, nor Aitcheson either ; but Simm had a small one, about the thickness of a man's thumb. Cross- examined. — It is about a mile between Purveshaugh and my house at Fans. It was at Purveshaugh I first saw the prisoner, then at the well, and hist at my house. The well is 400 or 500 yards from the house, perhaps more, and not in sight. There were drops of blood on the bundle the prisoner left with me. When we heard the cries of " Andrew Robert- son," they appeared to be about three quarters of a mile distant. Robertson's house is fully a mile from mine. Neither Simm nor Aitcheson, nor the prisoner, appeared to be in anger when the former left my door. I could not distinguish the voice which called out " Andrew Robertson." About an hour and a half elapsed between the cry and the time Robertson came to me. The voice appeared to be of persons going off from me, the last being fainter than the first By a Juryman.— The prisoner did not say any thing when he attempted to pull away the spar of the gate. He might possibly be tipsey, but he was not incapable either of walking or talking, nor did he seem to be afraid, when Simm and Ait- cheson went away, that they would waylay and attack him. I cannot say what he meant when lie desired me to take Simm into custody ; for though there had formerly been words, they were all quiet at that time. Several other witnesses were examined in support of the charge, whose evidence having been gone through, Mr. Dun- das, the Depute Advocate, addressed the Jury on the part of tne Crown, and Mr. Lockhart, on the pait of the prisoner.— Lord Pitmilly recapitulated the evidence, and gave, a most clear, distinct, and impressive charge to the Gentlemen of the Jury, who retired fr m the Court, and in about eight. minutes they returned, finding, by an unanimous viva voce verdict, the prisoner Gui ty. The Judge deferred pronouncing sen- tence till next day, when the Court having again met, his Lordship pronounced on the unhappy man the aw'ul sentence of the law, which was, " that he should be on Wednesday, the 29th day of October next, delivered Over by the Sheriffs of Roxburghshire to the Sheriffs of Berwickshire, to be by them taken to the most convenient place for execution, near to the spot where the murders were committed, and there hanged by the neck till he be dead, and afterwards the body to be given to Dr. Monro for dissection." This atrocious case had' made such noise in the country, and so great, was the interest excited by it, that the Court was crowd- ed to excess during the whole trial, which lasted till seven o'clock in the evening, Throughout the whole of the trial the prisoner behaved with great self- possession, and frequently communicated with his counsel aw* agent ; and when the fatal verdict was returned, no perceptible change took place in his appearance, SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

Our pieces of artillery, which were at the taking of the Trocadero, have been sent to the batteries constructed on the side of the Chiclana. All is ready it is said for the attack. Our troops are full of ardour. The Constitutionalists are dismayed. The militia have returned into Cadiz. 1 lie prisoners taken at the Trocadero have been sent this morning to Xeres. There were 1100, all voting men, who are said to be the best troops of the Revolutionalists. Port St. Mary, Sept. 5— S o'clock in the evening. We are on the eve of great events. Last nioht our troops began to throw bombs into Cadiz. They were thrown from the extreme point of the Trocadero. In a short tune we succeeded in setting fire to the vast maga- zines of w ood and brandy which were near Fort Puntales. The conflagration continued during the whole of the night. The flames were so great that we could read by their light. The troops have been exercised, and everv thing is now ready for their debarkation. General Bourinont lias set off. It is by him that the attack is to be directed, and there is UQ doubt but that 0f'[ we shall be successful. sive storms, and a continued rain, which fell in torrents during two hours, our soldiers braved everything; " I'he whole parallel was covered with bails and grape ehot, and we had onlv a small number wounded.

A private letter from Port St. Mary, dated Septem- ber 6, states—" Flic mission entrusted to General Alava, was occasioned by the following circumstances; all Cadiz testified its aversion for the Cortes, arid the constitu- tional regime, and insurrection began to manifest itself ill everv part.

Sept. 1 1— During the night of the 9th of September, a swell having obliged the French ships of war to stand off'to sea, the enemy, to the number of 11 or 1200 men, eania out from Barcelona in fishing boats, and made a descent on the point called Castillo de Mongat, between Mataro and Barcelona. i'hese troops, commanded bv the Constitutional Ex- Governor of Cordova, were composed of 900 Spaniards and 300 French and Piedmontese exiles. Immediately on their landing being known, the tocsin was sounded iu all the villages, the peasants armed, and at Mataro, which contains considerable magazines, the wisest means were taken to defend the town in case of attack, but the ene- my's corps, informed of our good arrangements, and finding themselves pressed in their rear, threw themselves into the mountains and on the road to Hostalrich If thev make a movement to throw themselves into that place, they will find there, ready to oppose their de- signs, 14 or 1500 French and Spaniards. They arc pursued and closely pressed by the General of Brigade, Baron Nicholas, having under his orders the 23d horse chasseurs, and two battalions of light infantry. While these things were passing, the garrison of Barcelona, wishing to occupy the blockading corps, and to make a diversion, effected, on different points, sorties, which were without success. The Constitutionalists were everywhere beaten. Our howitzers have set fire to Barcelona three different times, and the troops of the King have acquired new rights to the admiration of the French and foreigners.* PORTUGAL. LISBON, Aug. 22— To- day there have arrived in this port the English gailev Porcupine, and the Ham- burgh schooner Louisa, in fifty days from Bahia, hav- ing on board, first, 33 passengers." ( merchants and civil officers) and. secondly, 65 persons belonging to the army, and Major Antonio Pimentel Maldonado. These two vessels are part of a fleet of 80 sail, anuiiig which there are twenty men of war, which are bringing from Bahia the troops, and many of the principal families of that city to Lisbon. The passengers on board gave the following account: " That General Labatour was taken three months ago, and that the command of the troops that besii- n- ed Bahia devolved upon Colonel Jose Joaqfiim de Selva Lima. At the end of Jitne. a Couiict of' War was held at Bahia, at which the chief officers of tin; annv and navy were present, in consequence of which all tho Portuguese troops embarked and left Bnlua on the 2it July, on which day the squadron sailed with the con- voy, consisting of about 80 sail, boiuid for this port. The squadron of Lord Cochrane followed the . convov for the space of three days. This gal le- v ( the Porcupine) separated from the convoy the 4th day of the voyage.. Some other vessels have arrived that have separated from, the convoy, bringing us the first troops and private persons. General Madeira has not vet arrived. " The Cardinal Patriarch made his solemn entry into this city on the 18th, and was received by his Majesty with great honours." 1 BAHIA. TRANSLATION of'tite- DISPATCH of LORD COCHRANE.

PROCLAMATION. " Inhabitants of Brazil— The Constitutional Government, which does not guide itself by public opinion, or what is igno- rant of it, becomes the scourge of humanity. The Monarch who does not know this truth precipitates himself into an abyss, and his kingdom or empire into an ocean of misfortunes. Pro- vidence granted me the knowledge of this truth, upon it 1 have founded iry system, to which I shall always be faithful. Des- potism and arbitrary acts are detested by me. I lately gave \ oti a proof, among many which I have given you. VVe may all be deceived, but Monarchs seldom hear the truth, and if I hey do not seek it. it never appears to their, ; when they know it. they ought to follow it; I recognised and did so. VIence, though at present we have not a Constitution by which we are governed, yet we have bases established by reason, which must be inviolable — these are the sac ed lights of personal safety, of property, and the immunity of the house of a citizen. " If thev have been attacked or violated hilhei to, it is be- cause your Emperor was ignorant of the existence of such ar- bitrary and despotic acts, which are at all times improper, and contrary to the system we have embraced. Be assured they v, ill from this day forward be rigorously maintained. You will live hap; v, secure in the bosom of your families, in the arms of vour tender spouse, surrounded by your dear children. Uegardless of the incautious persons who seek to call in question mv Conslituriutml disposition, it will always appear triumphant, as the sun dispels the thickest clouds. Depend on me as I depend on you, and you will see democracy and despo- tism repressed by a just liberty. " The EMPEROR." Diario do Governo, July 19. inclusive. EROM GERMAN PAPERS. AUGSBURG, Sept. 3.— There have been some warm discussions between the Captain Pacha and the English authorities in Corfu, on account of the capture of some English merchantmen by the Turks. These ships, it is true, have been restored ; hut there still remained other subjects of difference, which the Captain Pacha was au- thorised to treat of, but respecting which he iiad not been able to agree with the English authorities. CONSTANTINOPLE, Aug. 11.— On the 20th of Julv there was another fire. It broke out on the side of Coun Cape, and there being a high north wind, very great fears were entertained. The fire was, however, got dow n in a few hours, and only destroyed some hun - dred houses. The exertions of the firemen were second - ed by a storm of rain. Perfect tranquillity prevails here. The communications between this capital and Odessa have resumed their usual activity. The five Russian vessels, which had been detained, are now released. Fif- teen Turkish vessels are on the point of being sent to Ta- ganrok, to take in corn for Constantinople. The accounts we receive from the north become more and more agreeable and satisfactory, and give the assur- ance that a definitive treaty of peace will shortly be con- cluded between the two empires. Letters from Bagdad state, that the Turks have taken Menduli, and repulsed the Persians, who have been forced to retreat several leagues, after a battle which was entirely to the advantage of their adversaries. Several sacks full of heads and ears have arrived here, melan- choly but speaking proof of the truth of this news.— ( Letttrs from Constantinople, of the 15th, say. that the Porte had received official information that peace with Persia was concluded on the 16th Julv.) The new French Legation is expected in the month of October, ( ircat preparations are making at the palace for its reception. VIENNA, Sept. 3.— It is said thatthe Emperor will set out on the 18th for the frontiers of Russian Poland, where he is to have an interview with his allylhe Em- peror oi Russia. The place of meeting is Czernowitz. Prince Mettcrnich will accompany his Majesty as well as M. de Tatischeff. The diplomatists of this capital say, that this meeting is onlv the prelude of a second Congress, which will probably take place at Milan, and where the affairs of trie Peninsula, and the mode of Government which the Holy Alliance shall think fit to cause to be adopted in Spain and Portugal, will be discussed. Prince Metternieh, who will be present at the inter- views of the two first Sovereigns of the North, is to submit to them a plan which has for its object to con- solidate the peace of Europe on new foundations, by founding a new sort of national representation, with- out at all derogating from the monarchical principles established from time immemorial, and from the system of legitimacy recognised by all the members of the Iloly Alliance. It is presumed that this Minister did not think it right to present his plan at Verona, where be would have experienced a dangerous opposition on the part of the British Minister, but he desires to have the previous approbation of these two Monarchs before submitting it to the examination of a great assembly. ROME, Aug. 30.— Every thing will be ready bv the 2d of next month for holding the Conclave at the Quiri- lial. On that day the Cardinals will repair thither ill procession, when the doors will be closed, and not open- ed until after the election. In the lists of the Sacred College that are handed about in the different saloons, each has a particular candidate. What is remarkable in many of these lists is, that the names of absent members are inserted, and even those of Cardinals who will not be present at all. It was said yesterday that Cardinal Severroli, Bishop of Viterbo, w as seized with a fit of apo- plexy, and that Cardinal Brancador was detained on the road through illness. GREECE. ABSTRACT of a REPORT communicated to the Greek Committee, hy EnwAitn BLAQUIERE, IC- q. relative to his late visit to the Morea, and read at the M eting of Saturday, Sept. 13, 1825. Mr. Bloquiere went out as the representative of the Greek Committee, accompauied by M. Luriottis, a Greek who came to London to ascertain the sentiments of the people and govern- ment of England with regard to the cause of his countrymen. Leaving London on the 4th March, we proceeded to Mar- seilles, with the intention of embarking, there for Hydra.— Owing, however, to the want of more frequent communica- tion, and the approaching hostilities between France and Spain, • we resolved to proceed by land to Otranto, and but for the re- fusal of the Marchese Fescaldo, Minister of his Neapolitan Majesty at Rome, to sign my passport, we should have reach ed Corfu much sooner. Forced to retrace our steps, and em- bark at Ancona, we did not land in the above island before the 21st of April, and only reached the shores of the Morea ten days afterwards. Having landed at Pyrgi, a small cove opposite the island of Zante, early in the morning of May 30th, the first object which struck my sight were a number of husbandmen and females busily employed in the various occupations of tillage, weeding, & c. while numerous flocks and herds were seen grazing on a plain of about fiftten miles in circumference, and surrounded " by a range of hills thickly studded with olive and other trees. On reaching Pyrgos, a large town eight miles further on. com manding a delightful prospect of its extensive plain and neigh- bouring country, including the mountainous districts of Cala- vrita and Arcadia, with the s'- a in the distance, there appeared to have been material interruption to agricultural pursuits, a: we continually passed through vineyards, corn fields, and or- chards of mulberry trees. Groups of women and children were also seen round the wells, occupied either in washing or draw- ing water, as if enjoying the most perfect security. These enlivening and unexpected scenes continued while we follow- d the romantic and ever- windingcoiirseof the Alpheus, through the most enchanting country I ever beheld, for a distance of more than sixty miles, when we ascended the range of moun- tains which intersect the Morea throughout its centre. Here he road l « y over rocks and precipices of frightful aspect, form- ing a number of almost impenetrable passes for a considerable extent. Passing over a region of lofty pines, which cover a space of many leagues, we descended into another well culti- vated plain, but destitute of trees, previous to reaching that on which Tiipolissza is built. The almost total destruction of the Turkish army, which followed its attempt to invade the Morea in the autumn of 1822, as well as the various important events to which that memor- able campaign gave rise, having induced the provisional go- vernment to convoke a General Congress at Astros, the mem- bers of the Executive and Deputies hod just reoched Tripo- Vu7. ii as we arrived. Whether we regard the importance of the measures decided there, or the dignity and moderation with which the deliberations were carried on, the meeting at Astros may be justly considered as one of the most impressive and in- teresting events of the struggle Although the decree of convocation, which also pointed out the mode to be pursued in the new elections, together with the necessity of only returning men distinguished for their patrio- tism and virtue, merely specified the number of representatives prescribed by the law of EpuUurus, yet such was the eager- ness of the people throughout the confederation to contribute to the common weal,- that above three hundred deputies had as- sembled by the beginning of April; there was also a large body of troops, nearly all the military chiefs, and many thou- sand casual visitors. The meetings ana deliberations of Con- gress were held under the shade of an orange and lemon grove, between sunrise and noon, while all those who were desirous of hearing the debates, or witnessing the proceedings, occupied the surrounding space thickly shaded with olive trees. ' l'fie first care of the Congress, thus assembled, was to revise and correct such articles in the constitution framed at Epidnu- rus, sixteen months before, as experience bad proved to be susceptible of amelioration. Adopting the most liberal insti- tutions of Europe for their model, tbere was not a single clause added or retrenched, without a precedent being previously es- tablished, either in the practice of the British constitution or that of the United States, which tbe legislators of Greece con- sulted, as knowing it to emanate from the letter and spirit of English law. I ought not to omit stating, as connected with this portion of the labours of Congress, that its principal atten- tion was directed to the best mode of drawing up civil and cri- minal codes, and of introducing the trial by jury into the legal procedure of Greece, as well as a regular system of pul> lic edu- cation on the principles of Bell and Lancaster. Having de- creed the necessary clauses upon the above points, so essential to the perfection of their civil organization, the Executive was directed to take such steps as might be mc~> t likely to produce the benefits anticipated from them, without loss of time. The second object of solicitude related to the state of the finances, public accounts, and national resources. These being subject- ed to a careful examination, and various modifications intro- duced into the political code, for the more prompt collection of the revenue, and prevention of fiscal abuses, the third and last subject of deliberation was an inquiry into the extent of the naval and military forces of the Confederation, as also relative to the most effectual plans to be adopted for repelling every future attempt of the enemy. Having decided that the seat of government should be fixed at Tripolizza, previous to its final establishment at Athens, the last act of Congress was an address to the people, in which the object of assembling and a succinct notice of the proceedings were detailed. This energetic paper also proclaimed the na- tional independence, appealing once more to the Christian world for its sympathy and support; and, after thanking those who had merited its approbation by their patriotism and pub- lic spirit, concluded hy imploring " the Omnipotent leather of All to extend his Almighty protection to the people of Greece, and crown their efforts with success.'' Numbers of those who were present at Astros have informed me that the result of each day's deliberation was watched w ith the most intense anxiety by all classes, Representing the whole as a scene of the greatest enthusiasm and unanimity, with tbe exception of one single point— the propriety of distributing a portion of the national domains among the chiefs and soldiery. Aware that more than nineteen twentieths of the territory freed from the tyrant had belonged to Turkish proprietors, it was extremely natural for those whose lives had been passed in the labours of agriculture as slaves, to feel anxious about the possession of a spot of ground, however small, which they could call their own, and there was every disposition on the part of Government and Congress to accede to their wishes. Such, however, were the difficulties that presented themselves in every stage of the discussion which followed the proposal to alienate a part of the domains; the probabilities that it would interfere with the duties of the army ; the obstacles to an equitable distribution, in the existing stale of the war; and above all. the effect which it might produce on the public- credit of the Confederation, when the Executive should be authorised to contract a foreign loan, that the question was deferred by unanimous consent, till that period when it could be carried into effect without exposing the nation to any of the foregoing serious inconveniences. Willi regard to the origin of the Greek contest, this is not the place to enter into a minute detail of all the facts, and in- deed many of them would be irrelevant to the object of your Committee; if cannot, however, be too soon proclaimed, nor too widely circulated, and I will stake my existence on the exact veracity of the assertion, that there was not the smallest connection, either directly or indirectly, between the rising in Greece and passing events in the rest of Europe. Having made this positive and solemn declaration, upon the impor- tance and necessity of which, to the people of Greece, it would be superfluous to dilate, the Members of yotir Com- mittee do not require to be informed, that the struggle was first commenced in Moldavia by a General in the service of a Great Northern Power ; and that although his proceedings vvere subsequently disclaimed, and himself disgraced, yet the irreproachable character of Alexander Ypsilanti, his bravery while serving in the Russian campaigns, and more especially the place of aide- de- camp he held about the person of his Im- perial Majesty, were pre- eminently calculated to create a belief, that the insurrection was tacitly approved by the Cabinet of St. Petersburg!!. This alone was surely more than sufficient to excite the hopes of the Greek people, in the western provinces, if it did not stimulate them to fly to arms. But irresistible as the call of Ypsilanti certainly was, so little bad the events in Wallachia and Moldavia been anticipated in the Morea, that no preparations whatever were made for a rising ; nor was it until the massacre of the venerable and virtuous Patriarch Gre- gory, not to mention thousandsof unoffending Greeks at Con- stantinople and other places, together with the incarceration of all the Primates at Tripolizza as hostages, and order for dis- arming those of the people who had been hitherto allowed to carry a musket for the purposes of private amusement, that they saw no alternative between resistance and extermination.— When I add, that even the actual President, Mavromichale, one of the most opulent men in Greece, had not a single barrel of gunpowder in his possession, on the insurrection breaking out, and that, more than two- thirds of the male population, cap- able of hearing arms in the Morea and other points, were under the necessity of sallying forth without any other wea- pons than sticks, I am sure it is perfectly unnecessary to say more, in order to convince your Committee that the attempt to connect the Greek struggle with those events which continue to agitate the south of Europe is as unfounded as it is cruel ! As to the excesses attributed to the Greek soldiery, it would appear that the number of able and eloquent writers who have advocated the cause of Greece, have brought forward such facts and arguments as must satisfy every impartial observer, that these excesses, like every other subject calculated to prejudice the cause, have been most wantonly exaggerated, The whole course of my own inquiries enables me to confirm the fact ; and in repeating that the severities exercised on the enemy weie inevitable and unavoidable, 1 shall further add it as my most firm conviction, that when all the concomitant circumstances which led to the excesses at Tripolizza are made known, they will appear mild when compared to those committed by the best disciplined and most civilized troops of Europe in many instances during the last fifty years. As there is no ambition so deeply rooted in the Greek cha- racter as the desire of instruction, no wonder that it should pre- dominate, now that there is a prospect of being able to realize the wishes on this subject which so universally pervade the na- tion. Nothing but a determination to encourage this most laudable disposition could have induced the Provisional Go- vernment to devote a part of its attention and circumscribed funds to the establishment of I. ancasterian schools, while the enemy was still so near, and the means of subsistence often wanted for the troops. The interest attached to this import- ant subject by your Committee will not be a little heightened, when informed that the seat of Government had not been es- tablished at Tripolizza more than three weeks, when I had the satisfaction of witnessing one of the largest Mosques in the city converted into a school on Lancaster's principle, at which above seventy children of both sexes, under the age of ten years, were receiving instruction when I quitted the Morea, Prince Maurocordato had already established two, almost in sight of the Infidel forces, at Messalonghi and Gastouni, previously to his attending the deliberations at Astros. Being for the present chiefly desirous of establishing the claims of the Greeks to the sympathy and support of their Christian brethren of England, I shall take an early oppor- tunity of furnishing your Committee with such details relative ; to the actual state of the Confederation, form of Government, j degree of organization it has attained, population, naval and j military strength, and more particularly those extensive re- S sources, both in the national domains and'products of the soil, which will enable the Executive ( 0 negoel. de a Lcian In any of 1 the European Capitals. In the mean time it affords me the tit- I most pleasure to be enabled to inform your Committee, that the j result of the Greek triumphs by sea and land is such as to pro- mise a happy termination to the contest. But it cannot be too deeply impressed on the attention of your Committee, that a contest commenced and carried on under such discouraging auspices has produced considerable degree of exhaustion, while the very nature of { lie war precludes all possibility of the Greeks availing themselves of the advantages to he derived ! from their rich and prolific soil. Jt must, therefore, be almost supeifluous to state, that at no period of the struggle has it i been more necessary to appeal to toe British public in favor of a nation, which is, in truth, only sustaining the cause of civi- lization and Christianity, against barbarism, vice, and igno- rance. Although there is little doubt, that any proposition of j the Prftvisional Government for negotiating a loan would be favourably received in a country possessing so much super- fluous capital as England, and where suth undeniable guaran- tees can be given, still some months must unavoidably elapse before supplies can be obtained from this source ; arid the pre- sent campaign is one, which must in a great measure decide the fate of Greece. It therefore becomes my duty to apprise your Committee, that although the successes, which are an- nounced almost daily, prove that the courage and resolution of the Hellenists remain undiminished, and that the neglect and indifference of their Christian brethren would seem only to sti- mulate them to still greater ' efforts ; yet, are they conducting the war under the greatest disadvantages ; so much, indeed, that I can safely assure your Committee there are, while I write, thousands of those driven from their homes, and whose wives and children were carried into slavery, either seeking a refuge from the knife of the intidel among the crags of Olym- pus, Macrinord, and Volos, or, if armed, bravely opposing the enemy in the passes of Thermopylae and Corinth, without bread 10 eat or raiment to cover them. Need I say more to rouse the slumbering spirit of benevolence and Christian charity? 1 will only add, that a comparatively small portion of the funds which have been subscribed in this philanthropic country, to disseminate the blessings of Christianity beyond t.- ie seas, would, if promptly supplied to the wants of the struggling Greeks, perhaps save a whole nation oj' Christians from perishing. The task I have undertaken would be left incomplete, were I to omit staling to your Committee, with what heartfelt satis- faction and strong feelings of gratitude the Provisional govern- ment and people of Greece he.-. rd of the Associations which had been formed here before my departure for the Morea.— That composed of the Society of Friends had been dispensing the means of existence to hundreds of both sexes, at Trieste, Venice, Marseilles, Ancona, and oilier places. Sanguine in my hopes, that the charity of millions would not be exceeded by the charity of a few isolated ( though uniformly benevolent) individuals, as compared with our population, I ventured to assure the Greeks that they might safely calculate on the suc- cess of an Association formed without any regard to party dis- tinctions or political animosities. While dwelling on this pleasing topic, 1 even went so far as to add, that Greece was destined to produce the miracle of uniting the most discordant, elements in the great and blessed work of Christian charity. If I deceive myself, and the Greeks are disappointed, the fault does not surely rest with your Committee ; and whatever the final result of your efforts may be, history will not have to re- cord that resuscitated Greece appealed to England, as her na- tural friend and ally, without one solitary hand being stretch- ed forth either to sympathise with her sufferings or co- operate in her regeneration. EDWARD BLAQU1ERE. London, September 13, 1823. The Greek Committee consider it their duty- to give imme- diate publicity to the Report of Mr. Blaquiere, who is just re- turned from Greece. They propose shortly to publish further documents elucidating the state of the country; and, as they hope, encouraging to the friends of that most interesting cause. Greek Committee Room, Sept. 13, 1823. LONDON, September 22. At a Privy Council, held at Windsor on Friday, Parliament was farther prorogued tiil Tuesday the 25th of November. His Majesty also signed a Proclamation, to legalize the currency of Double Sovereigns or Gold o ° Two Pound Pieces. It is at length finally determined, that the vacant seat in the Cabinet is to be given to . Mr. Huskisson. Hie Court of Directors of the East India Company have negatived the proposition for an increased grant of money to the Marquis of Hastings. The Marquis of Hastings, according to an article in the French Papers, arrived at Brussels 011 the 12th inst. with iiis family. Sir Robert Wilson has left Gibraltarfor Cadiz.— His three daughters are in Paris. ' fue eldest son is going to join the 12th light dragoons, in India; the next ( who was on board the Bellerophon, as a Midshipman, when Bonaparte was conveyed to St. Helena), is now a Lieiir tenant on a cruize ; the third has joined the flag- ship of Lord Cochrane ; and the fourth is, we believe, at school at home. Yesterday the remains of Mr. Ricardo were to be al- tered in the neighbourhood of Bath, where one of his daughters and his son- in- law reside. Mr. Hume has left town to attend the funeral. Mr Ricardo is supposed to have been worth upwards of half a million, when he retired from business, lie was remarkably successful, hardly ever sustaining any loss. Indeed the system on which he proceeded in some measure secured hitn against heavy losses, though it also prevented him from gaining much at any one time. His practice was to sell always at the turn of the mar- ket, and his gains, though small at any one time, by being often repeated, became large in the end. He has left behind him a widow and a tolerably large family One if not two of his sons were lately ( and perhaps still are) at one of our Universities. BONDED GOODS.— The following important com- mercial intelligence is communicated to us from a high authority ill the Custom House Department:—" It has been decided by a letter from the Secretary of the Trea- sury, that bonded goods, warehoused before 5th July, 1823. mav remain in warehouse without payment of duty, for the unexpired part of five years allowed by their Lordships' Minute of the St'n of August 1815, provided the parties renew their bonds as heretofore.— Liverpool Mercury. When Lord Bvron sailed from Genoa to Greece, he is understood to have taken on board ins own vessel, warlike accoutrements, equal to the equipment of fifteen hundred men. STAFFORD PEERAGE.— A most important event has lately taken place, which is hkely very speedily to affect the claim liade by Sir George Jermngham, Bart, to the ancient barony of Stafford, m the discovery of most valuable documents relative to the descent, both lineal and collateral, of a male heir to this ancient peer- age, which he has been most assiduously collecting. The present claimant, Berkeley Buckingham Stafford, Esq. of Maine, county of Louth, Ireland, has succeeded in obtaining these, and many other papers of importance, collected by his late father, Colonel Edward Smith Staf- ford, of Maine, which he purposes immediately sub- mitting to the consideration of the House of Peers, having already obtained high legal sanction fortius step Such a competitor deriving from the male line, and claiming under the act of restitution of the Barony, in the first of Edward VI. whereby the succession was settledon the heir male, must endanger the pretensions of Sir George Jerningham, or of any who derive through females. THE ARMY.— A considerable improvement has been recently made in the manual and platoon exercise. The improved system is now practised by the Coldstream guards, and will be promulgated in a short time to the whole army. REMAINS OF TIIE EARL OF IIOPETOUN The remains of the late Earl of Hopetoun, G. C. 15. and Co- lonel of the 4> 2d regiment, are to be brought from Paris to this country. An Admiralty yacht has been ordered to sail forthwith to the coast of France, to receive on board, with all due honours, the remains of that gallant officer, in order to their being conveved to, and interred in, the family vault in Scotlandi. This tribute of respect is justly due to the memory of that brave and meritorious officer. It may be truly said of him, " that his memory will be recorded iu the annals of his country, will be sa- cred to every British soldier, and embalmed in the recol- lection of a grateful posterity." At the sale of Mr. T. O. Powlett's stud at New- market Mr. Furquhurson bought Figaro, bv Haphazard, for 2000 guineas. Mr. Powlett is retiring from the Turf. Owing to some circumstances, at present unexplained, the negotiation'between Madifria Catahini and the York Committee has abruptly terminated, and in consequence shedoesuotsing m that ensuing Meeting.

GLASGOW CATTLE MARKET, Sept. 15.— There was but a small supply of fat cattle in the market. The whole amounted to only 109, and prices were about the same as last day. Beef, according to its quality, brought frotn 6s. 6d. to 8s. a- stone, beef and tallow. There were only 2700 sheep and Lambs in the market. Black- faced wedders sold from 10s. to 15s. Ewes sold from 8s. to 12s. Lambs went off quickly at from 6s. to Is. advance. Their prices ran from 3s. to 7s. 6d. There were none of the white- faced breed in the market. The annual sheep show at Moffat, on Friday the 12th, was, as usual, very numerously attended by all the sheep farmers in Annandale, and by many from the adjoining pastoral dis- tricts of Lanark, Peebles, and Selkirk, of which Moffat is the centre. The numerous lots of Cheviot tups shown in competi- tion fertile premiums given by the Trustees for Manufactures, did the highest credit to their owners; and. in point of quality generally, have been rarely or perhaps never surpassed at any competition of the kind in Scotland. Some of the p emiums could with difficulty be awarded ; and it was remarked try all. that so great has of lite years been the improvement, that even the worst of the lots now shown would, 10 or 12 years ago, have been certain of a premium. Tne competition for the dis- trict premiums for gimmers, lambs, & c. was equally numerous and good ; and that of black cattle was also respectable. At this meeting extensive sales of draught ewes were made. The low prices of Highland ewes at Falkirk must have affected those here; and although the farmers in general expected a rise of Is. or 2s. atiove the prices of last year, it is believed that that expectation would, io a few cases only, be realized. The demand and prices for Cheviot ewes, from the best fart, s, are this year better in proportion than for the black- faced or inferior Cheviot. The sale of wool was more spirited, and although generally there is little left to dispose of at this season, buyers appeared from all quarters, and an advance of Is. to Is. 6d. on both Cheviot and black faced, above the prices of July, might have been obtained. MORPETH, Sept.- 17. - At our market this day there was a good supply of Cattle, anil being many inferior, fat sold readily. There was a very full market of Sheep aad Lambs, which met with a dull sale ; prices much the same as last week — Beef from 4s. 6d, to 5s. 3d. per stone, sinking offals— Milt- ton 4s. 3d. to 5s. 6J.— Lamb 4s. 3d. to 3s. 3d. Notwithstanding the gloo . y forebodings on this subject, na- ture has vindicated herself, and every, thing now wears the most promising appearance. The wheat is nearly all stacked in the southern and midland counties, under very favourable circumstances. The long continued wet had only the effect of expanding or filling the grain in the ear, which has been con- firmed and ripened by the subsequent sunny weather. Thus has a most productive corn season been successfully harvested, and results the most favourable to the nation at large may he anticipated. An abundant crop of barley has also marked » he present season, and this is the only kind of corn which remains in the field in a backward state. The first crop of grass was nothing to boast of, owing to the bad weather which prevailed at the hay making period ; but the second crop, thanks to the rain, isproverbaliy an unusually good one, and will no doubt be well and safely ricked. The dampness of the weather has bad the same effect upon the potatoe crop, which is exceedingly plentiful, and the fruit itself uncommonly large. There are, in fact, no small potatoes this year, each head producing all its roots large, which is rarely the case. It is well know that we have had an abundant fruit year, although of inferior flav- our, but the apples and pears are yet unplucked, and pro use- to be full ripened by the sun. Upon the whole, therefore, however dismal the commencement, we may congratulate our- selves upon a season of unparalleled production and promise.— York Chronicle.

James O'Urien, F,- q. the Coroner, who went to hold the inquest 0.1 this unfortunate family, empannclled the following .1 urv : Henry Green Uarrv, Richard Oliver A Id worth, George BoivlLrw, Thomas St. . lolin Grant, Garrett Nagle, Henry Walker, George Walker, John Heard, William Quinn Mont- gomery, Roger Sheeby Burke, Edmond N. Norcott, and Spotswood Boles. The inquest lusted from 11 o'clock on Wednesday, till six o'clock in the evening. Five witnesses were examined, and, after a very solemn investigation, a verdict o( " Wilful Mulder against persons unknown." was returned. The following r the substance of what appeared in evidence : Mr. Frank's house had been burned tonie fime ago, hy if j miscreants wbtf devastate this county, and how undergoing Jo- pair. Not a door had been yet. put up ; the family principally lived io one small room, not twelve feet square, the window sashes of which were not put up, and the wind was excluded only by a curtain. On the day of the murder, Mrs. Franks and her son had been at Kildorrery, and returned to a fate din- ner, which hfitt been scarcely over, when a noise was heard in the passage. Mr. Franks started up anil said " here are my friends paying me another visit," and beckoning to his wife anil sou to remain quiet, he went outside Ihe room door • here he was met by a fellow of large stature, between whom and him a contest commenced. The man was not ar ned. and they fought with their hands, Mr. Franks retreated to the parlour ; on his entering which, the insurgents rustled in and soon filled the room. At this time a servant girl, about fourteen yeftrs of age, of the name of Mary Myer, a most intelligent creature, slipped under a table, and concealing herself there, witnessed the horrid scene which followed. The leader of the insurgents, a ruffian dressed in woman's clothes, demanded of Mr. Franks his arms ; Mr. Franks said he had none in the house, but that he would, il they chose, accompany the party to the Rock Mills, and get them from Mr. Smith, who had them. The leader then said, '• Boys, do your duty," and lie himself upset a table 011 which a lighted candle was placed which being extinguish- ed he again had it lighted at a fire in the room. Mr. Franks, his wife, and son went on their knees lo beg for mercy, assur- ing the leadei of the parly that they had no arms, but here 110 mercy was to be found. The savage, as if impa'ient of delay, snatched a short gun from one of his followers, antT within three feet of the unhappy father, fired and lodged two bullets in his heart. They then proceeded to dispatch the son, and here a dreadful scene ensued ; the mother only anxious to pre- serve her son, and regardless of hef own safety, clung to the wretched young man. as if to shield him from the vengeance of the assassins. They repeatedly tried to force her from him, and lold her to retire to another room, but she would not leavtl her son ; they then strtrck tier with a heavy iron bar in the left temple, and literaily shattered the head to atoms, after which they beat the soil's brains out, and mutilated all the bodies of the deceased. At the commencement of the horrid work, an- other female servant had been shut up hy the ruffians' in a small room ; when they had murdered the young man they thought they heard some groan or sound as if life was not en- tirely extinct, and the candle having been extinguished, tbev took this servant from her place of confinement, and one ofthemr holding her by the hand vrirh one baud, and her head down with the other, made her proceed to a cupboard in the parlour, and takeout a candle and light it; they then drove two heavy iron oars, weighing 30 or 40 lbs. each, through the dead bodies, and each man, in succession, took" t long three- pronged fork, and repeatedly drove it also into the bodies. It also appeared that another ruffian, second in command, was dressed iu female apparel. He commanded outside the house ; and seeing ;, woman appear at the door of an out- house, with a Child in her arms, he called out— tobed, to bed," » nd placed a centinel on the door. When the shot was firedinside, this fellow danc- ed a regular hornpipe, as if delighting in the dreadful scene going forward. The woman of this house is named Gla- veen, and gave testimony as above ; her son, immediately on the party marching off, mounted a horse, and rode to Kildor- rery, whence a military [ kirty arrived in half uu hour at thu scene of carnage. It would appear that the insurgents sepa- rated and proceeded iu different directions, as blood Was traced oil the reads to Doneraile and Kildorrery. This is pretty nearly the substance of the evidence, and. it is sufficient to thrill any soul with horror indescribable, and to stamp a deeper stain upon tire List) character, already sanguin- ed with the blood of innumerable murders, and disgraced with peculiar atrocities. We are told that the sight, on entering Mr. Franks's house, was truly shocking. Nothing had beeu moved since the per- petration of the murder : the dead bodies lay as they had been left, in all the horror of gaping wounds, broken limbs, and mangled bodies. It was air appaling sight, and calculated to' fill the spectator with dismay. We are concerned to learn' that no clue appears to lead to the discovery of the offenders.— Cork Advertiseri The following report of a'circumstance connected with the murder of Mr. Franks and his family, it is Imped, may lead the discovery of some of the perpetrators of that horrible car- nage : — A woman who had been travelling from Youghall to- wards her home, county of Limerick, stopped 011 Tuesday night (, 9th inst.) at tlie bouse of a farmer iu the vicinity of Castlelyotls, in order to seek a lodging, but being refused ad- mittance, stie resolved to pass the wight in the haggard ad- joining the house. Stie states, that at an early hour on Wed- nesday morning ( 10th inst'.) the owner came into the haggard and deposited fire- arms in a cock of hay ; and whilst doing so. he exclaimed, " ' That they had done their business.'' It is stated that this man, whose name it is not necessary to dis- close, has been taken up, and it is expected considerable in- formation will be obtained from him. — Cork Chronicle. The Irish Government have offered a reward of = t' 500 for such information . is may lead to the apprehension of any yf the murderers of Mr. Franks and his family. On the nigljtof Friday, the 5th instant, a irt'ost outr. igeoi, • attack was made 011 the unoffending inhabitants of Mulhrwar, by a large hotly of the 93d Regiment of Highlanders, quartered in the Barracks of ttiat town. About eight o'clock in the evening, when the streets are generally full of people, and business pretty brisk, they rushed furiously from their quarters, armed witti bludgeons, swords and bayonets ; knocking dotvu, cutting, and stabbing every person that appeared in tbe streets. W. hiie these cowardly exploits were carried into effect, olhvrs broke the windows and sashes of all those houses in which light was to- be seen. Many of the inhabitants, hastening to put up their shutters, were knocked down with cudgels, cut with' swords, or dfeadfully pelted with stones. In this career of barbarous deva-. talion, they proceeded through every street and lane in the tuwn. So unexpected was the attack, and wilti sir much vigour was it carried on that in all hctlr, the streets and houses were dark and silent as the grave. A helpless old man, one Egan. a mason, was shockingly treated. The poor fellow endeavouring to escape, was pursued, stabbed in the shoulder, cut across the wrist, and ga- Jied in the head. One scoundrel had the andacity to dart into a most respectable shop, and strike a man on the head vvi, h bis bayonet, A Serjeant of the Westmeath staff', one Mollat, was so much abused, that he was unable to attend meeting two days after. A carpenter stand- ing at his own door, in the east end of the tm « i, was dread- fully cut aeioss the wrist. In the Centre of the town, a young man narrowly escaped a desperate lounge of a broad sword.— Numerous other acts of atrocity were committed. The alleg- ed motive for their conduct was, a beating that one- of their men received from some rutlianson Thursday evening.— Dublin Register. NAVAL REGISTER. FROM LLOYD'S MARINE LIST, Sept. 12. Dk.

ABERDEEN: SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1823. were about to treat, and deliver up FEUDIKA\' B, upon assurances of their own personal safety : but for these reports, we believe, there was not the slightest founda- tion in truth. The Members of the Cortes know that they are committed— that they cannot have the least reliance upon ti-. e good faith of the Bourbon Govern- incut, While the fate of LABEDOYKHE and NEY are vet. fresh-. in their memories. Besides, they have never doubted o: the success o** the cause in which they are engaged ; and although it is understood that, among the Spanish Ministers, there are some in the pay of France, the disposition of the garrison and inhabitants of Cadiz has alway s been good ; and now that Sir UOISEKT WILROS nnd RIEGO have entered tbe place, the Spanish General with 1200 veterans from Malaga, treachery that would deliver up Cadiz to such besiegers is not to be apprehended. In the mean time, the sickly season has set in, when the object for which the French army entered Spain is vet to be performed— when tbe war in Catalonia become^ daily more formidable to the invaders, and Marshal LAUIIISTON acknowledges a loss of one hundred men killed and a hundred and fifty wound- ed in art attack upon the suburbs of Pampeluna. The Duke d'AsGoiiLEME, sensible of tbe absurd violence of the Regency, had issued a Decree that all imprisoned by their authority for political ofibnees should be lilierat- ed— but the Ultras in Paris have had influence enouoh to have this Decree rescinded ; and it appears to be the intention of the Bourbon Government to countenance the. incisures of the Regency however intemperate.— But France too is an object of jealousy to the great Potentates of the North, aud it is dbnft- lently stated, that early in spring they, in their turn, are to have their Armies of Observation, to be employed according to cir- cumstances. LIBERTY OF rim PUESS.— In a circular, address- ed bv General GUILLEMINOT to tbe military and civil authorities, both French and . Spanish, there is an impor- tant article upon the Liberty of the Press. " As for the regulations'contained in Article 4, which places the Journals under the inspection of the French commanders, it must not be supposed thai it has any other objects than to prevent the insertion ie the Papers of articles which may influ- ence party spirit, aud hinder tbe effect of tbe measures adopted by his Iloyal Highness, by ill- timed personalities— whether re- lative to tbe military operations, or to the pacification of Spain and the liberty of his Catholic Majesty, the chief object of liis Royal Highness' efforts. - The French Commanders must make arrangements with the Spanish Authorities to hinder the insertion of such, and iu case the Authorities should not pay regard to these observations, it is natural and just, that, acting for tbe interest of the operations of the army, the Com- manders should oppose such insertions." It must at once occur to the most superficial reader, that the application of this order is intended to be ex- tensive indeed. MINA has for nearly six months baf- fled the attempts of the army under MONCEY to gain any important advantage, or obtain any certain footing in Caledonia: but to have this truly stated in the pub- lic journals " might hinder the effect of the measures proposed by his Iloyal Highness:" therefore, from the beginning of April to the present time he has been every day ruined— his troops have all deserted him, at least twenty times— often has he been iri situations from which lie could not cscape, unless by a miracle— and some- times he has thrown himself over inaccessible precipices. 1 he French have lost many men in. their rencontres with the Spaniards in Catalonia— but it might have hin- dered the objects his Royal Highness had ii} view to have the fact generally known : therefore, we are assured, that French armies have been exposed for hours to the fire of grape and nmsquetry, without losing more than some dozen or twenty men. Cadiz has been to fall to ;? certainty every week for these last two months. 1 he Prince Generalissimo wasquite determined— and the Cortes and garrison, in case of refusal to surrender, were to have no terms, but become prisoners at discretion. Well, Cadiz still holds out. The French are not yet in possession of the whole trackof land called TROCADERO, and if they were, the garrison would care very little about the event. But it is not expedient, the objects the Prince Generalissimo lias in view cousidered, thut such facts should be known. The French commander, unable to accomplish the objects for which he was sent to Spain, continues to deceive the Spaniards, aud commit them in a cause which may forfeit their properties and lives, because it is natural and just that he should act for the interests of the operations of the army. The ca- pitulation of Painpeluna was antio'- tnced by telegraph in Paris on Friday se'ennight, but on the Saturday evening following 110 farther accounts luid been received. Pam pcluna may have been delivered up by treachery ; but after the telegraphic accounts of the capitulation of BAL- LASTEROS, such news will be received with due caution. One thing, however, appears certain, that the mass of the people of Spain arc not vet roused to action, as the people of France were in their revolutionary war. I Greece, the people make common cause with the armies, and exert themselves to the utmost to supply the wants of their brethren in arms, and annoy the common enemv ; in Spain they appear as yet to remain inactive specta tors of a struggle in which every thing dear to them is involved, and this is no doubt to lie attributed, in no ic falsehoods so industriously circulat EXTEXSIFE SALE OF HOUSEHOLD FURNITURE.

SINCE the beginning of April, when the French army crossed the Bidassoa, the public has been insulted bv fabricated reports of the successes of the invading armv without any paiallel in history, while the truth has been suppressed with the utmost care, as if the people, having no right to know what is actually going on, ought to be deceived as the powers that be may think expedient. For some time we have abstained from comments upon the reports contained in the French Journals, of the progress of the war in Spain, trusting that by arrivals from Cadiz, Barcelona, or some of the other fortified places 011 the coast still iu the hands of the Patriots, we might obtain credible intelligence, There is reason, however, to believe, that our Ministers, sympathizing with the Bourbons so cruelly disappoint- ed 111 their views of tranquillizing Spain, are not very anxious to communicate to the British people the intel- ligence of which they are actually in possession, respect ing the state of affairs in the Peninsula. They chimed in with CASTLEHEAGII when he asserted, that the re- pose of Europe had been secured when NAPOLEON, by the most sinister means was betrayed and overthrown and no wonder that they are now reluctant to admit the fact, that their machinations against that illustrious in- dividual, and the honour of France, have not only prov- ed unavailing, but have produced a re- action, formidabli in the extreme, the cotiscqucnces of which in their full extent cannot yet be anticipated. Dispatches from the French Government have arrived at our Foreign Office in long succession, and nothing has been allow- ed to transpire; and lately, upon the arrival of the Sappho at Portsmouth, important news from Cadiz having been announced* ami dispatches immediately forwarded to town, a King's ship was forthwith applied for to carry out a reply to Sir W. A^ COURT— and the Sappho again sailed— Capt. JONES accompanying the King's Messenger in the carriage to Portsmouth, lest any delay should tak ® place from the employment of separate conveyances. We have already said, that these pressing applications to the British Government come f rom France, and by no means from Spain ; and as it seems to be now certain, that a Congress is to be held at Warsaw about the middle of October, for the purpose of taking into most serious consideration tbe state of the Peninsula, we may safely conclude, that the war iu Spain is not vet nearly terminated. Reports were circulated during the last fortnight, that the Cortes small degree, to tl ed among them by the Bourbon press. Lvr. diitrr . t, by the R v.

A French force has appeared on the const of Venezuela, and apprehensions re entertained that the settlement of all'airs at Cadiz, ( so say the London papers) will be the signal for this arma- ment to join that of MORALES, and turn the wavering balance of the war in Colombia. We are reminded, that before the invasion, while the French Ministers were at- tempting to bring the Cortes to submit to their interfer- ence, they distinctly held out npromise, that in ease of amicable arrangements between France and Spain, the force of France should be employed to bring about the reunion of the revolted colonies to the mother country. We have long believed the Revolution . of South Ame- rica complete, and that 110 efforts to be made by old Spain could possibly socceed in reducing the people to their former state of slavish dependence. It is, how- ever, within the scope of Bourbon policy, to try what can be done against revolution, even beyond the Atlan- tic. On tliis subject, the French government has, it is said, entered into a- treaty with tbe Spanish Regency, by the provisions of which, in consideration of the as sistatice of France, tbe trade of tbe re- conquered colonies is to be secured to France and Spain— aud under such an arrangement they say, England must remain quiet- for the best of all possible reasons— because she is- no longer able to interfere. Upon this subject, a meeting of merchants of the citv of London is to be held, and remonstrances may no doubt be made to Mr. CANNING and questions asked, why the independence of these co- lonics- was not long since recognized by our government but the greatestund most important of all questions is— What can now be done to prevcut arrangements so highly injurious to Britain ? GREECE.— We are happy to have to communicate that the affairs of the Greeks are prosperous, and tha during the present campaign they have nothing farther to apprehend from their invaders. Bv the latest ac counts, they were fitting out a formidable armament against the Turkish fleet, and with troops 011 board fo; a descent on Smyrna, and we may very soon expect to hear of tbe result. Constantinople is said to be in a very disturbed state, from the insabordiration of the Janis sar'sea, antl a general massacre is apprehended. Provost Brown. Messrs. Thomas Rannie. Jas Ig. Massie.

This practice is too prevalent, and ought to be severely punished. ' The Georgian Oats, belonging to Uiat spirited agriculturist, Mr. Barclay of Ury, of which we gave an account in a late paper, aud which are likely to prove a great acquisition to the corn growers 111 that part of the country, are from Turkey, and not. as most people may suppose, from Georgia in America. Mr. Barclay, we hear, intends selling them for seed. Some of the above species of Oats were manufactured, last season, nto meal, which yielded nearly at the rate of twenty- one pecks per Aberdeenshire boll. On Wednesday last, a sloop- rigged open boat, from Fraser burgh with empty herring barrels, after sailing from Collieston, into which she had been put by stress of weather, suddenly sprung a leak, when about a mile off, and partly upset. The ac- cident being observed by a fishing boat, the crew, with the most praise- worthy alacrity, dropped their lines, and pulling to the spot, rescued two men who were on board from ibeir perilous situation ; and the boat, with a few of the barrels, was after wards towed in by a boat belonging to the preventive service. We hear that the Rev. JOHN CAMPBELL, of Kings- land, London, will visit this City, on Sabbath first, 23th current, and will preach— FORENOON, in Mr. GILMORE'S Chapel, Union Terrace. AFTERNOON, in Mr. PENMAN'S Chapel, Fre- derick Street. EVENING, in Mr. THOMSON'S Chapel, George Street. The reason of Mr. CAMPBELL'S visit to this city is assigned in the following Letter, just received from Edinburgh : " Some friends of Missions, at a meeting held in this citv ( Edinburgh), on the 9th current, having heard, with much interest the very affecting details given by the Rev. J. Campbell respecting the progress of the Gos pel in Africa, have strongly recommended that he should visit the chief towns both in the North and South of Scotland, for tbe purpose of communicating the same information to tiiem : persuaded as they are that bv this means an impulse may be given to the minds of God's people, which will prove eminently beneficial to the Missionary cause, as well as the general interests of re- ligion. P. S — Though collections had been previously made in Edinburgh, by the Rev. Messrs. Durant and Broad toot, vet, wherever Mr. Campbell had an opportunity of giving Ins statements respecting Africa, the strongest desire was manifested again to contribute in aid of those exertions which have been. attended with such happy re suits. N. IP- JL IXTELLlGEXCr. The very favourable account; given in cur last from Dart-,' Straits are fully confirmed, by every successive arrival from that fishery, and leave 110 doubt but that the deficiency iu the quan- tity of oil, produced from ihe Greenland Whale Fishery Ibis season, must be now so amply supplied as to raise ( lie impor- tation on the whole perhaps equal to the average. Of toe vessels arrived here, and at the neighbouring ports, in tlie course of this week, the greater part are full,' and all art well ( idled, while they report the success of the shipping generally to be improved even beyond the former favourable statement. The following ships have arrived here: — Sunday last, Middle ton, Reed, with 14 ttsh ; on Tuesday, Bon Accord, Parked 3- 1 fish ; and Wednesday Alexander, Picket, with 22fish all full. The Bon Accord brought the extraordinary quantity of 700 butts of blubber, supposed to produce 2S0 tuns of oil, and . and although thus deeply laden, had an uncommonly quick passage of 21 days from ihe fishing ground— Captain Parker having run lo tbe southward, along the Libradore coast, in the tract laid down in the charts by the discovery ships, gett- ing clear of the ice about the 70°. of Jai. while other homeward bound vessels followed tlu- usual course to the northward, round- ing the greater barrier of ice about la' 71°. the inlet generally found at the commencement of the li - hery. Of this number was the Middleton. Cargill, of this place, which had sailed, a full ship, a week before the Bon Accord ; but, from the stron » northerly winds which then prevailed, must have he ™ great/ y retarded in getting to the northward, so as to render her non- arrival 110 matter of surprize, much less uf alarm. On Sunday, the Phce . ix passej. a full ship for Whitby, and no Wednesday, the Core of Shields, with 2ff fish, 250 to 2GO tuns.

Last week, a female servant of the name of Robb, residing in the northern part of Fetteresso parish, was in the mornin. left at home by the family ( who all went to the moss) to wa^ h some clothes, and prepare dinner. When the family returned, the clothes were found washed, the dinner prepared, and the servant a corpse ! 3 r. would appear she had attempted to get to her bed, which being unable to attain, seems to have expired leaning on a chair. The alarming fever, to which many of the inhabitants in Stonehaven, old and young, have lately fallen victims, is now nearly extirpated from that place. The measles predominate just now arcong the children there. During the heavy rain which took place last week, the Luther water and the burn at Fettercairn rose very high. A the later place the water entered several of the houses, so as to take the inmates to the knees, aud the south road was covered for near a quarter of a mile, to the depth of inches. All th wooden bridges and footpaths were swept before the current and great quantities of flax which had been undergoing lb process of watering were carriedcfF; poultry and other liv stock were also overtaken and swept away. The foundation- stone of a new bridge over the South Esk, was laid on the 8th current, by the lady of Peter Wedderburn, Esq, of Islab'ank,. in presence of a large concourse of spectators. The bridge is to be of one arch of one hundred and five feet span; and when finished, will materially facilitate the inter- course of those who live to the northward of Forfar and Kirrie- TIDE TABLE CALCULATED FOR ABERDEEN.

PARIS Sept. 19 — The Minister of War has received tli6 following Telegraphic Dispatch ; — " After having experienced the fi- e of our art- Tory, which has ruined the citadel and silenced its fire, the town and the citadel of Pampeluna have capitulated; The garrison are pri- soners of war, anil will be conducted to France." The acconnts from Port St Mary's, the bea. 1- quarters of th « French army are to the 12th i 11st. at which time'it appears that negotiations were broken o( T, inasmnchas, aUho'ugh'theyare not distinctly spoken ot', nothing is mentioned except preparations for an immediate attack on Cadiz, which it is supposed will be completed within three d. iys from the date of this account General Bourmont, who was appointed to direct Tlie disem- barkation of the troops, had set but on the I0ih for Rota. The Duke of Augouleine exercised the utioost personal activity, and animated the warlike preparations by hi* presence. 1,- irgc- ijii. intiiies of artillery had been brought from Chichna to tin? head- quarters. The attack was to take place on the side the fortress of St. Peter, dating which a bombardment was to take place from the French vessels in tbe bay of Cadis. it appears that thV Tribune frigate. Captain Guion, took • Mr. Elliott, Secretary to'Sir Win. A'Court, to St Mary's, the head- quarters of the Duke of Angoulemc, on the 29di ult. and that he having had a conference with the Duke, returned to Gibraltar on the 3D*. h, on the evening of which day the Sap- pho was dispatched to England by tsfr Win. A'Court, with the result, ll is conjectured that the mission of Mr. Elliott had for its object, an offer on the part of the Cortes to negociate terms of submission to the French army. The attack on the Trocadero, however, was made the next day, as the Sappho was passing Cadiz, for England She left the Tribune at Gibraltar, and the American ships Constitution ( Commodore Joncs) and the Ontario. - There were three French frigates al Algesiras, which had lately taken possession of Green Island. There were 110 French troops from TariHa to Malaga, which line of coast was decidedly Constitutional. The Sappho sailed this morning ( Saturday) with a King's Messenger, charged '. villi dispatches for Sir Win. A'Court, at Gibraltar.
