Dispatches, of which the following are extracts, dated Capo Coast Castle, 50th of June, 17th and 22d of July, and ad- dressed to the Right Hon. the Karl Rathnrst, K. G. have been ( his day received from Lieutenant- Colonel William Suther- land. of ihe 2d West India Regiment, and from Lieut.- Colonel A. Grant, of the Royal African Colonial corps :— CATE COAST CASTLE, July 17. When my dispatches of the 30th tilt, was written this Settle- ment was nearly surrounded hy the Asliantees, who were en- camped within three or four miles of it, ravaging the country and burning the villages. I have now the honour to inform > our Lordship, that since then, these barbarians have been de- feated ; iheir army is now dispersed, and they are, by all ac- counts, retiring in small parties to their OVMI country, in the best way, and as fast as they can. Early this month the advance of a hody of auxiliaries, which had been collected with infinite trouble and difficulty, about Accra, and countries in that direction, and I suppose the arrival of his Majesty's ship Thetis on the 4th inst. from England, with troops, induced the enemy to recall Ins detach- ments, for ihe purpose of concentrating his army, part of which im the 7tb, was distinctly seen defiling in great force over a I. ill, by several paths, towards some heights, which he occu- pied near the left of his position, where we could perceive the King's tent. . On the mil, the Accra auxiliaries who had arrived on the f,: h. and been supplied with arms ami ammunition as far as our very limited means would permit, were, with the Cape c . asi people, placed in position on a strong tjtul commanding , haiu of heights { opposite to the enemy), round the town and fort, find busily employed till the 1 1th in clearing away the lu- li, fortifying their " post*, and watching the motions of the AsltauU'er, with whom there was occasionally some skirmish- ing. an, 1, who . were busy cutting paths towards us. Oil the 1 1 ' It ( Sunday), soon after dny- ligbt, the enemy was seen descending in several masses of great strength, and forming his lines across the valley leading to the light of our position, « hich was about half a mile from the town, and about two in the afternoon. his advance having been Bret! upon bv « > ur hkii misliers. a general engagement was brought on, wljich at dusk, half- past six e m. I am hpppy to say t* rmi\ u- ml. k'd he, u no mau can answer for what will happen, particu- larly in his last moments. At present I certainly believe that I shall die without a confessor ; and yet there is such a one ( pointing to one of us) who will, perhaps receive my confession. I am assuredly very far from being an atheist, hut I cannot be- lieve all that lam taught in spite of my reason, without being false and a hypocrite. When I bccame Emperor, and parti- cularly after my marriage with Maria Louisa, every* cObrt was made to induce me to go with great pomp according to the cus- tom of the Kings of France, to take the sacrament at. the church of Noire Dame ; but this I positively refused to do. I did not believe in the act sufficiently to. derive my benefit from it, and yet I believed too much in it to expose myself to commit a profanation." On this occasion a certain person was alluded to, who had boasted, as it were, that he had ^ ever taken the sacrament. " That is very wrong,' 4 said the Emperor ; " either he has not fulfilled the intention of his education, or his education had not been completed" Then, resuming the subject, he said, il To explain where I come from, what I am, and whether I go, is above my comprehension ; and yet that is. I am like the watch that exists, without possessing the con- sciousness of existence. However, the sentiment of religion is so consolatory, that it must, be considered as a gift of Heaven ; what a resource would it not be for us here to possess it ? What influence could men and events exercise over me, if, bearing my misfortunes as if inflicted by God, I expected to be compen- sated by him with happiness hereafter ? What rewards have I not a right to expect, who have run a career so extraordinary, so tempestuous as mine has been; without committing a single crime, and yet how many might 1 not have been guilty . of? I can appear before the tribunal of God, I can await his judg- ment without fear. He will not find my conscience stained with tlie thoughts of murder, and poisonings, with the inflic- tion of violent and premeditated deaths— events so common in history of those whose lives have resembled mine. I have wished only for the glory, the power, the greatness of France. All my faculties, all my efforts, all my moments were directed to the. attention of that object. These cannot be crimes * to , me they appeared acts of virtue { What then would be my happiness, if the bright prospect of futurity presented itself to crown the last moments of my existence." After a pause, he resumed.—" How it is possible that con- viction can find its way to our hearts, when we hear the absurd language, and witness the acts of iniquity of the greatest number of those whose business it is to preach to us? I am Ijrice fire on ted in his being defeated at all points, and obliged to retire ; two camps on the right of his position, which be had weakened to rciiifoiee his left, having been burnt and plundered hy poit of our unorganiz- d fo- ces, who, although daily driven out ol u- wn to their posts, at . the point of the bayonet, to do them justice, fought on this occasion for fotif hours with great courage, particularly on the l ight, against whjeh the utmost efforts of the enemy, who fought bravely, were directed, and which be repeatedly advanced in masses to turn and to attack, without however making the least impression. Our loss in killed and wounded ( as per annexed return) I am sorry to say has been considerable. One Officer Lieutenant Swirzv. I loyal African Colonial Corps, a most zealous and promising young man, and twice slightly wounded before the fatal shot took effect, and one hundred and three men killed, and four hundred and forty- eight men wounded : but it is matter of great satisfaction, and' a proof how well the action must have been ustained although fought in thick bush, that the enemy, by his own account, has not to boast. of having cut a wtigle he ' d from our killed, or of having taken even one })>:-<> ner from us of any description, a circumstance the more reuia'. V V if the numerical disparity of the contending bodies is consul, r.- : ; < u » ' s, in position, where a strong reserve was always kept, not exceeding nineteen Officers and five thousand « n.! fifty- three rank » : nd tile, of whom only two hundred and eiih'v five were regulars ; whilst the Ashantees force, as seen rftiri'. i" the morning, cannot be estimated at less than sixteen thousand fighting men. Their loss in killed and wounded on this dav c « - old rot be ascert ained, but their dead are very np. melon's on the scene of action, and numbers of prisoners and deserters brought in since, state it to be great, and that iliaoy Chiefs or Captains wore killed and wounded. On the 12tb the enemy again appeared drawn up in the valley. apparently with the design of making another attempt on our potions; and in order to draw him into some move- mem that might expose bun it) bis intentions, J twice or th ordered a body of skirmishers to creep up to open l, im, and then retire. This fire was each time returned wish greit animation fiow the enemy's whole line for about half an hour his divisions, il is said, and as 1 thought at the time, firing on each other.) after our skirmishers had, agreeably to their order, retired un- observed. FiUt as he had made no demonstration of advance un to two in the afternoon, I directed a few random shots from a field piece to be fired through the liush in his direction, on * i, irh he retired towards the head of the valley, where he still remained on the 13< h, during the night of which be disappear- ed altogether. taking the direction of the Government Garden, Elm in a, and Fetue, towards- l> oonquah, which is on the direct route to Ashaniee. We h ve since heard that the resuit of the action, and un- — Y v of the waj, together with/ the enemy \ » i< fribU \ bt^ Pk" and losses, from dfteise and f'antof provisions, had elicited'k^ rxing<- vmj, toms of insubordination and discontent in the A shan tee army. 1 a: : .••,.! •. '-> inform your Lordship, that I have reason to approve of' the conduct of every individual, whether of the an; v. n;. vy, or marines, employed in these operations, which, if not brilliant, were at least extremely harassing and arduous ; an;.' throughout which I trust his Majesty's Government will be* satislicd that all did their duty, and that up to this period as much has been effected as our means, the nature of the country iii which we acted, and circumstances we were placed in, would permit.

Since I had the honour of addressing vour Lordship, on toe 18th inst. reporting my arrival, nothing very particular has taken place respecting the enemy. Lieutenant Colonel Sutherland's report will acquaint your Lordship of the enemy's repulse near this place on the I Hh jnS'ant. On the 19th, I learnt that he was encamped at about five miles distance from this place, and sent out an auxiliary force, urthaview to entice him to approach within reach or our guns ; they returned on the following day with a few pri- soners. The enemy showed no disposition to approach the garrison. He made off on the 20th, in the the direction of Ar. riamaboe ; and it lias just now been reported to me, that some firing had been heard yesterday at one of the Annamaboe vi seven or eight miles inland. 1 fear the villages will suffer, b'jl I am under no apprehension for the fort. I regret to state to your Lordship, that the Europeans in garrison have suffered much fluting the last quarter. A. GIIANT, Lieut Col. it. A. C.

How could 1 have favoured' equally sects so opposed to one another, if I had been under the influence of one of them ? How could 1 have pre- served the independence of my thoughts, and of my actions, under the controul of a confessor, who would have governed me by the dread pf hell ? What power cannot a wicked man, the iiw. t stupid of mankind, thus exercise'over those by whom whole nations are governed ? Is it not the scene shifter at the opera, who from behind the scenes moves Hercules at his will ? Who can doubt that the last years of Louis XIV. would have been very different, had he been directed by another con fes. sor ? I was so deeply impresed with the truth of these opinions, that I promised to do all in my power, to bring up my son in tha same religious persuasion, which I myself enter- tain," Sc. The Emperor ended the conversation, by desiring my son to -. bring- him the Isfew Testament ; anditaking it from the begin- r. hjg, he re. Td as far as the conclusion of the speech of Jesus on the mountain. He expressed himself struck with the highest admiration, at the purity, the sublimity, the beauty of the morality it contained ; and we all experienced the same feeling, J. as Cases Journal.

Copy of a latter from President Jefferson to Dr. Vine Utley, of Lyme, in Connecticut. Monticello, March 21, 1825. Sia— Your letter of Feb. 18th came to my hand on the 1st inst, and the request for a history of my physical habits would havo puzzled toe not, a little, had it not been for the model with which you accompanied it, of Dr. Rush's answer to similar inquiry. 1 lire so much like other people that. I might refer to ordinary life as the history of my own. Like my friend the Doctor. 1 have lived temperate!/, eating little animal food, and that not as on aliment so much as a condiment for tjie ve getabies, which constitute my principal diet.. I doivble, how ever, the OsoctorV glsssj and a half oft wine, and ev< « * i treble it vvi* h a friend ; nut halve its effects by drinking the weak wines only ; the ardent wines I cannot drink, nor do I use ardent spirits 6f any kind ; mak liquors and cider are my table drinks ar. d my breakfast, like that of my friend; Is of tea and coffee. I have been blest with organs of digestion whi § h accept and concoct,, without ever tnurn uring, whatever the palate chooses to consign to them, and I have not yet lost a tooth by age. ,1 was a hard student until I entered on the business of life the duties of which leave no idle time to those disposed to ful iil them ; and now, retired,, and at the age of 76, I am again a hard student. Indeed, my fondness for reading and study revolts me from the drudgery of letter writing— and a stiff wrist, the consequence erf an early dislocation makes writing both stow and painYul. I am not so regular in my sleep as the doctor says he was, devoting to it from five to eight hours, according as my company or the book I am reading interests me ; and I never go to bed without an hour or half hour's previous read ing ' of something moral, whereon to ruminate in the intervals of sleep ; but whether I retire to bed early or late, I rise with the f- jjn. I use spectacles at night, but not necessary in the day, unless reading small print. My hearing is distinct in particular conversation, but confused when several voices cross each other, which unfits me for the society of the table. T have been more fortunate than my friend in the article of health ; so free from catarrhs that 1 have not had one ( in the breast I mean) on an average of eight or ten years through life. I ascribe this ex cmption partly to the habit of bathing my feet iti cold water every morning for 60 years past. A fever of more than 24 hours I have not had more than two or three times in my life A periodical head ache has afflicted me occasionally, once per- haps in sis or eight, years, for two or three weeks at a time, which seems now to have left me ; and except on fin occasion of late indisposition, I enjoy good health : too feeble indeed to walk much, but riding, w ithout fatigue, six or eight miles d* y, and somi- timcs thirty or forty. X may end these egotisms, therefore, as I began, by saying that my life has been so mac like that of other people, that T might, say, with Horace, to every one, " Mutato nomine, de te fabnla narratur."

T. JEFFERSON. MISCELLANEOUS. NAPOLEON'S IDEAS OF RELIGION. In the evening, after dinner, the conversation turned upon religion. The emperor dwelt on the subject at length. The following isa faithful summary of his arguments; I give it as being quite characteristic upon a point, which has probably often excited the curiosity of many. The Emperor, after having spoken for some time with warmth and animation, said : " Evety thing proclaims the ex- istence of a Gvd, iftut cannot be questioned ; but all our reli- gious are evidently the work of men. Why are there so many ? Why has ours not always existed ? — Why does it consider i . s^ ^' exclusively the right one ? What becomes in that ea- e of ait the various wv. m who have gone before ns ?— Why do these religions revile, oppress, exterminate one another ?— Why has this been the case ever and everywhere?— Because men are ever men ; because priests have ever and everywhere introduc- ed fraud and falsehood. However, as soon as I had power I iii- mediately re- established religion. I made it the ground- work and inundation upon which I built. I considered it as the support of sound principles and good morality, both in doctrine and in practice. Besides, such is the restlessness of man, that his mind required that something undefined and marvellous which religion offers ; and it is better for him to find it there, than to seek it of Cagliostro, of Mademoiselle Lcnor- n and, or of the other ' soothsayers and impo- ters." Somebody having ventured to say to him. that he might possibly in the end become devout, the Emperor ansvyered wish an air of con- vicsion, that he feared not, and that it was with regret he said it ; for it was no doubt a great source of consolation ; but that his incredulity did not proceed from' perverseness or from licen tiousnes* of mind, bat from the strength of his reason. 41 Yet,' NEW FRENCH COURT. Louts XVII L submitted to all the religious formalities in fashion at Court, but he was attached to them in no other way than as a part of Court etiquette. At heait, he was not zealot ; nor did be- l^ v^.. the jnii'sts ;- on the contrary, lie con iiacied them as dangerous livalsof his power. He made use of their services, because, in his mind, the idea of unbelief was connected w ith that of libeitv ; but he neither shewed them devotedness or confidence? De Cazos secretly , th wai ted the Jesuits by'his orders, and M. de Villele has been seen to act the esprit fort. convinced that he was pleasing his master.— Louis X V. I. I I. without being very well informed, had a cul- tivated mind. His pretensions were even so high in this last respect, thai he would sooner have pardoned a conspirator than a man who had ridiculed his intellect or his sagacity. This prince has even died with the happy conviction that, for the last thirty years, he has directed all the events which happened in Europe. Charles X. differs entirely from his brother in this respect Having passed a very dissipated youth, he never once dreamed of cultivating his understanding. As long as he was young, he limited his ambition to the acquirement of gallant knight. His courtiers represented him as the model of a chevalier Francois. In growing old, he has become devout. He will therefore, like his brother, fulfil all the duties of religion, but he will fulfil them with sincerity. As he possesses a very limited knowledge, and is endued with little firmness of char- acter, he will easily become an instrument in the hands of the priests. Thus, while Louis XVI17. made use of the Catholic clergy to consolidate his power, the Catholic clergy will make use of Charles X. to extend and confirm their privileges. The Government of Louis XVIII. had to- m'aintain a per- petual struggle for the plenitude of its power from its com mencement to its termination. It was necessary to pay the cxpen'ces of two invasions — to repress conspiracies o, r insur- rections perpetually springing up— to defeat the Libe'rals an nually at the elections, and to extinguish the revolutions of Naples, Piedmont, and Spain. The ministers succeeded in postponing the considerations of the claims of the priests and the emigrants by the necessity which they were under of watch ing for the safety of the Government, and of defending them selves against thefr common enemies. * Tiia ' Ministers of Charles X. are in a different position ; they have no longer any foreign pQwers to pay ; they have no longer any con- spiracies to suppress : they have no hinder amuuM elections to manage; they In ve no longer to oppose the claims of the Li- berals; they have no longer to extinguish revolutions; in a word, they have no longer any formidable enemies to en- counter. The Ministry is then about to find itself in . front of the pretensions of the noblesse and the clergy, with a King Itogether disposed to satisfy them, and no pretext for longer post po n i ng I hat sa tisf- ic't i on. Since his triumph over toe Spanish Constitution, the Duke of Angouleme is persuaded that he possesses great military talents. He has in consequence attached to his person a little knot of Bonaparte's Generals, who flatter his mania. Those courtiers think themselves Liberals, because in the first ptace iljey do not like the priests, and in the second they have pre- tensions to power without being noble by birth. They con- sider themselves as a great power in the state, and speak even of a war with the Holy Alliance to extend the French frontier othe Rhine, and to conquer Belgium-. Thvy would willing- ly attach themselves ? f> the* Ministry, if the Ministry would pur- chase their support; but they would turn: against it " and aban- don even their hero as soon they found that the emigrants and the priests were triumphant. Then they would go to mass and escort processions. The Journals have told you of the joy diffused over Paris by the entry of the King. According to them, tears of tender- ness were shed, and an intoxication of joy manifested, at see- our august Monarch receive a petition, to which he made no answer. It should be known that these accounts are ge- nerally made by personal friends of the Ministers, and that we, the good inhabitants of Paris, are often surprised in reading in our Journal in the morning, how happy we were the pre- vious evening— when we testified no feeling whatever.— Pri- vate Letter in Times.

PARIS, Oct. 4.— It appears that reductions on the Budget are ordered in Prussia, r-. nd that they will amount to four millions of Prussian crowns. The Prussian Budget being fifty millions a year, of which a third is for the War Department, this diminution of lour millions is very considerable. The cities of: fvlm- den, Cologne, Erfurt, Stiialsmid, and Danlzic, will no longer lie the seats of provincial governments. The . Minister of War de Haclce leaves office; and the five sections of the War Ministry will be reduced in future to two, which will bo directed by the King's Adjutant, Witzleben. Iu ijl the branches of administration there are to be numerous reductions, As to the armv, the reductions will be confined to the staff, the engineers, and the quotas of the Landvvehr. The Uiuistry of ComiHfree tfilHic^ imitjrd to . tlwt of-^ ie Interior^ This great measure of economy must have a powerful influ- ence on the assemblies of the provincial states, which take place in the next month. The Gazette of Augsburgh, of Sept. 20, savs, that Tatars have brought to Bucharest the news of a change, already foretold, in the Turkish Ministry. The Grand Vizier, Ghahb Pacha, has been dismissed and super- seded by the Pacha of Silistria. Ghalib was odious to the Janissaries, whose party now triumphs. COURT NEWS.— The King presided yesterday, at two o'clock, at a Council, which lasted till half' past four." The Dauphin was present. It is believed that his Majesty will go regularly, oa Friday and Saturday, to the evening parties of the Du- chess of Berry, and the other days to the Dauphiness. On Saturday the Infant Don Miguel visited the King and Royal family, to take his lfcave ; and yesterday his Royal Hi-! mess and suite departed for Vienna. The remain^ of his late Majesty, Louis XVIII. will be deposited in the vault, of the Bourbons on the g. 5t'l inst.. The coronation of Charles X. it is said, will take place in May. We hear that Lieut. General Excelmans has been ad- mitted to a private audience of the King, and that his Majesty condescended to say, " General, I forget all that is passed. The only thing I wish to remember is, that when Bonaparte gave you orders to pursue me, vou took another road than mine." The master hairdressers of the Society of St. Louis are to celebrate to day, a funeral- service for the repose of the soul of his late Majesty Louis XVIII. SPAIN.— Private letters'from Madrid, of the 21st ult. represent Spain to be in a state of extreme wretched- ness and disorganization. The peo]> le are driven to des- peration by the folly of their rulers, end ebullitions of popular feeling take place daily in some shape or other. Sometimes the avowed object is to - expel tlie French ; sometimes to restore the Constitution. Daily assassinations are committed by the Royalist volunteers, in the very streets of the capital. The French soldiery are poiguarded hy them. The car.- iages of t>&> C ar'. os were completely pillaged near the gates of Madrid. It is said that an attempt has been made by the_ refugees upon Valence, which, although unsuc- cessful, has brought them many partisans. On the other hand, it is asserted that secret tribunals have been erected, which try, condemn, and secretly execute ali the Liberals charged liefore them. At Madrid lately, a wild and daring attempt f. as made bv two individuals, Manuel de Lasserna and An- tonio Moran Caretro, to raise an insurrection for the overthrow of the absolute monarchy. The former was the natural son of the Conde de Mora, aud a person of some reputation for couragc and ability. The conspira- tors gathered together a body of 20 men, and hoisted the colours of the Cortes, with cries of' " Viva Li Con- stitution ! ' 1 he French troops, however, immediate- ly suppressed the sedition, and delivered over the ring- leaders to the Spanish authorities, bv whom they were executed on the 19th ult. Inconsequence of these continual alarms and disturbances, the Minister of Police lias issued orders to his agents in every part of tlie king- dom, to annoy and persecute the Constitutionalists ; and he states publicly, as the justification for his con- duct, that " the tranquillity of the country can only be restored by the extermination of the Negroes 1" In the south, O'Donnel has acted up to his instruc- tions, am! put to death all the unfortunate beings who have fallen under'the suspicion of havincr taken any part in the descents at'l'arifa and Marbella.

No Officer shall be pre mo led to the rank of Captain, until he has beeen two years an effective Subaltern. No Officer shall be promoted to the rank of Major, until he has been six years in the service. No Regimental Officer, heinu actually under orders to join a regiment or baftaii- ni on foreign service, shall be permitted to exchange into another regiment, except such exchange shall be solicited on the ground of extreme ill health, which must be certified by a Military medical officer. In these medical certificates it must be clearly stated, whether the cause of the officer's inability has, or has not, arisen subsequently to his having been placed under orders to join his reginjent. Officers who give in the resignation of their Commis- sions, or who apply to retire on half- pay, with or with- out the difference, are not in consequence, to quit their regiments, until they receive regular permission for that purpose. The Colonels or Commanding Officers of regiments of Militia, when embodied, and serving under a General Officer's command, are required, previously to their submitting the resignation of any officer to the Lord Lieutenants of their respective counties, to made a com tnunication of their intention through the General Officer commanding the brigade, to the General officer com- manding the district.* * H.

FRANKFORT, Sept. 21— The Journal of t- his city contains the following extract of a letter from Jassy, of the 8th September :— " We are much astonished here at seeing tftat several Journals of France arid Germany continue to publish articles calculated to mislead public opinion, with respect to the two Principalities. Whether from ignorance or bad faith of the correspondents, they throw doubts on the decision of the Grand Signior to withdraw bis- occupying the Principalities. They pretend to be l'gno- rant that in Wallachia those orders. have been long since executed. " Ac for Moldavia, the same decision having been announced to the Council of Bovards, they, justly alarm- ed by what had passed, considering the geographical position of the country, and the fluctuation caused by the late troubles, represented to his Highness the ilos- podar Stourdza, the consequences that might ensue from the absence of an armed force, considering that, in moments of danger, it might be difficult speedily to find the necessary means to maintain the tranquillity of the country. " This- consideration, which was doubtless well found- ed, has, however, only delayed the accomplisment of the wishes of the friends of peace; for the Hospodar, sincerely participating in their wishes, and desiring, be- sides, to alleviate thfe biirde. ns of his countrymen, whose welfare is the principle of his administration, has taken the necessary precautions and measures, and to prevent delay, has furnished from his private coffers, part of the sums wanted to pay the troops, so that oil the 29th August the military occupation of Moldavia was effected. " This happy event, and the official notice of the Domination of an extraordinary Russian Ambassador to the Sublime Porte, have filled all the inhabitants with the m- ost lively joy, as they look upon it as a sure pledge of their future prosperity."

CAPE OF GOOD HOPE. Letters reciived fmm the Cape of Good Hope, dated the lOtli of July, disclose 3ome curious additional pariicularsof the- hue events, out of which has arisen so violent a ferment in tlut colony— viz. the trial of Mr. Edw mis for libel — the restrictions on the press, followed by the suspension of the South African Advertiser, and a magazine called the South African Journal and the anonynous placard reil .- ctina on the character of l. on! Charles Somerset. Jt is well known that on<! of the motivc » for restraining liie press at the particular period iti which the in- terference took place, v.- as to prevent the publication of the trial of Mr. Bdwards { of which, ilui.- fure, little has transpired, except that he has been convicted of a libel ng- iinst the Gover- nor, and sentenced to transportation for seven years to Nay S. tilth Wales.

Th.?" merchants, there!'.'^ f, wha had t; information oi' lhe precise nature oi' this plaqard, nor any proof, iu fact, ihat it had ever existed, began to feel themselves, in an excessiHly ridiculous and humiiiatin.< r situation. But their mortitVcation was not t< v end with this, for this affair of the placard had boon made the pretext for many acts of a very offensive and arbitrary nature. The houses of several respectable individuals were searched, and their private papers ransacked, by virtue of search- warrants^ to look for fcliis supposed or ideal placard. One person wa'> sent to prison on suspicion, but afterwards liberatedand ever* poor Edwards, who was quietly awaiting there* cut of harm's way, the execution of hj* sentence, was ordered into cl. oser con- finement. Reports were also circulated that warrants were out for the apprehension of other persons, tmumgs; whom Pringle, the editor of the magazine, was sa d to be incloded. rhis report, as regarded him, proved to be without foundation,, Me waited on the Fiscal to learn whether any warrant had really been issued against him, but could obtain no ioforma-. tion on the subject. The- Fiscal, however, insisted on know-, inn; who had told Mr. Pringle that a warrant h id been issued against him, and on his hesitating ro reveal the nrime, was taken before the Commissioner, Mr. Ileniinck, vi ho asked hirin " if he was aware of a Dutch Irtiv, u'llc'i authorised his being- sent to prison. in case he persisted in refusing to give vp the nama of his friend who had told hi of Hie warrant for his committal br. ing made out." After a conversation or examination of two hours by Mr Beotiack, Mr. Pringle gave up the name of hi9 informant. i After this period, loyal, addresses were pained in upon his Excellency froiB the Court of Justice, in which the merchants were incited to join, but the Committee refused, and said the subject ought to be consigned to oblivion. It was understood afcso, that ilie conduct of the Government was disapproved of by the Commissioners sent out to inquire into the administra- tion of the colony, who were fortunately on the spot during A scene of perhaps the greatest confusion and disorder that lias • ever occurred in an Engli'h settlement, and. from whom the Government at home will doubtless receive a true statement o. i* all that has Occurred. One thing is sufficiently evident— which is, that Lord Charlcn Somerset, notwithstanding bis powerful family, cannot much longer continue to govern at the Cape qf Good Hope. I I X D I A.

The latest accounts in the extracts from the Calcutta papers, respecting the operations against the Burmese, extend only to the 28th of March, on which day Brigadier Maemorine forwarded a dispatch, an- nouncing the occupation, by our troops, o( Gowhatty, the capital of Assam. The enemy had, during the preceding night, evacuated tiie whole of their stockades in and adjoining Gowhatty, and retired, as was report- ed, to Roosah, to join a con siderable body of Burmese at that place. A few loaded iron guns., a pair of co- lours, and a dead body dreadfully mutilated, vvere found in the place. The Burmese, it was said, ehad, the day before their retreat, blown fourteen Assamsje chiefs from the cannon's mouth. Il was suppled that no farther resistance would be made by the Buriuesc. V Se- veral of the Assemcse trilies had assembled to harass them in tiieir retre. a to Ava. The Rajah of Lucky Dtwah, and sotne other chiefs, had been carried offibv tbe Burmese. Sir Christopher Puller had arrived at Calcutta, and on the 15th April took the oaths of Chief Justice, tinder the customary salute. On the 5th of April two sifting houses at the powder mills of Papa Mow, near Alalialmrf, containing near 300 barrels of gunpowder, blew up, and aboi. it K> persons were des- t'roved bv ihe cxpb- don.

Accounts had . reached Bombay, from Bussorah, that a body of 8' K'K) Nubian slaves, commanded by Nliumid IVIitu H. ikiti of Mecca, had had a severe contest » i, l » tiio ilcdtwins, at a place called Esccr, in Vjyiticb tipttrlv 2.000 men, v- dth tluvs Sirdars of Eaer.\ were killed, mid about 500 taken prisoners, and carried 10 Coeseir. It was farther rejiorteil, that the troops which went against A. seer, south of Judda, had been completely successful. Sir Charles Harcourt Chambers landed at Bombay on the 7th of May, utideT the salute due to his rank. A mint was about to be erected at Bombay, on the noi'th side of the esplanade between Back Bay and the road leading to Girgaum. There were reports from Chittagong, that a Burmese army of .' 50,000 men find assembled in that neighbourhood, ready to break into our frontier as soon as Rangoon was attacked. The Berwickshire East Indiaman arrived at Calcutta on the Sd of May. AMERICA.— A letter has been received to- day ( October 9.) from Havre de Grace, in which it. is stat- ed, that the Rousseau ' i;\ d arrived there from St. Thomas, which place she left on the 22d of August. At that time the Isabel',', had arrived at St. Thomas, from Puerto Cabclio, bringing the. news, to use the words of the letter, " of the great victory of Bolivar." Although ? he other arrivals from Puerto Cubello had previously brought similar ueeouuts, which have not been confirmed, the repetition cxcites some interest. In the application of this power, they, of cotlTse, see all those who think as they think in Paradise, while ail those who do not belong to their persuasion, or who, after having been joined to them, leave their associa- tion. are seen amidst hell torments, by which means the simple are gained, and the doubting alarmed, and bound to their creed. Some distressing instances of the effect of these anathemas have occurred. In the midst ot their religious meetings they are caught in trances, when males and females are ail huddled together and thrown into a daik cellar, where they remain till a spirit moves them.— Leeds Mercury. Mr. SADLKB Tbe remains of this lamented indivi- dual arrived at Liverpool on Saturday morning, and were interred on Monday, at Christ Church. Upwards of four thousand individuals were present at the solemn ceremony. Subscriptions have been set on foot on be- half of the widow of Mr. Sadler. While the Congress, of Mexico were engaged in pro- viding an honourable existence for the widow and or- phans of the unfortunate Jturbide, on the result of whose enterprise their fate entirely depended, the Ga- zette of Madrid, ofthe lith September, published an Order, by which divers privileges juul favours were granted to tha town of Torre de Pedro- Gill, and to those who contributed to the arrest of the gallant Ricgo, announced a grant of 1000 rea's for tiie an- nual celebration ofaJete on the anniversary ofthe day that hero and his companions vvere betrayed— when the monk Vicente- Guerrero, who first seized liiego, is to carry a holy banner, and in case of prevention his nearest relation, is to have that honour ; and further, the her- mitage of this fanatic is to be enlarged and embellished, and the brothers, Pedro and Mateo Lopez- Sara, are to be richly rewarded for having assisted in the arrest ol the patriot Riego..

Lord By ROM, like his predecessors NAPOLHOX and Dr. JOHXSON, it appears, has also had his Boswell, in the person of Captain Medvvid, a cousin of the late Petcv Bvsshe Shelley. This gentleman, ' who we under- stand is distinguished for his literary attainments, went to Italv in the autumn of 1821 for the benefit of his health, and residing for a considerable period with Lord Byron at Pisa, on the most familiar terms, was in the daily habit of noting down his conversations for his own amusement, and as curious matter for private reference. He alleges, that although the various communications were made to him without any injunctions to secrecy, they would not have been given to the world had it not been for the destruction of his Lordship's own memoirs, which he considers to have been the inheritance oi the public, and their suppression a sertoms loss.

We regret to state that the Mary, Captain Ardlie. a ship of 550 tons, from Calcutta and Madras bound to London, that put into Mossel Bay for water, was driven on shore by a strong south- easterly gale, near the President's house. On the even- ing of the 9th inst. no apprehensions appears to he entett. lined for the safely of the crew and passengers, though it was much feared the ship would not be £ ot. off. Since w riting the above, an express has arrived from Mossel Bay, bringing a letter to Messrs.

Oct. 7.— Yesterday, Prince Esterhazy, previous to his departure, had a long interview with his Majesty, after which he too!; his leave, and proceeded to London. Ilis Highness is expected tc leave England on Monday next for the Comment. This afternoon- his Majesty, v. ith his usual attendants, the weather proving favourable, rode out on horseback as far as Cranbourne Lodge, and returned by Sandpit Gate.— His Majesty continues to en jay excellent health, and looks extremely well. The electors and representatives of some of our boroughs arc making very active preparations for a ge- neral elcctior,, which it is erpecW will t- he place in the course of the ensuing year. Mr Grer. fell lias published a spirited address to the electors of Penryn, in which be tells them that he will never be a party to any illegal practices to accomplish his object; and that, as they liave a right to decide on the grounds upon which they v. iil support a candidate, he has an equal right to decide upon the principles on which alone he will accept their support. It is understood that many of tiie worthy and independent electors are looking for a more profit- able customer; but it is to be hoped there wiil be still found sufficient independence, even in Penryn, ta en- sure the return of a representative whose faithful and zealous discharge of his pari'amentary duties has been attended with so much advantage to the country. Mr. Farquhar, on Wednesday, laid the foundation of a woollen manufactory, near the site of the old mansion at FoHthiil, of which the o: dy wing now remaining wiil Le converted into. workshops. Captain J. D. Cochrane, the indefatigable traveller, arrived at Baibadoes on the 8th of August last. He is on his way to South. America, intending to explore on foot the vet untravelled part of that country, and to ascend the Andes. MR, FLETCHER. On the 5th Inst. the Assoc! He Presbytery of London held a Meeting at Miles's- lane Chapel, Cannon- street. The Rev. Mr Law described to the Presbytery Ihe recep- tion which he experienced on Sunday week, when he went, by crder of the Synod of Edinburgh, to preach at Albion Chapel. He proc. eded to the chapel, accompanied by some of tiie elders of. fililesVlsne congregation, and passed through one of the outer doors of the building. Some men were posted within the door to oppose his progress; these, however, the elders who accompanied l. im pushed a- ide, end he advanced to a place called the pass or stairs, where he found sevetl men placed, who refused to adtnit him Into the pulpit, and asked him by v-' liat authority he tame there? He read lo them the order of the Cleik of the Syno I of Edinburgh ; but the men still re- fused to let him (. ass, and be retired— This report was ap- proved. Mr Law then proposed that Mr Fletcher should bo de- li aseil. Another Member ( Mr Brnadfoot. we believe) considered this too harsh a proceeding, and moved, as an amendment, that a Committee should he appointed to wait on Mr Fletcher, to get from him signs of genuine repentance for his past con- duct.— The amendment was agreed to. Mr Tassie presented a petition from the elders and deacons of Well- street Chapel, complaining that the speech deli- vered to the Svnod at Edinburgh by Mr Kircaldy, the dele- gate from Miles's- lane Chapel, contained misrepresentations, and praying that the said speech might be taken into consi- deration. Afersome conversation the petition was withdrawn, on ac- count of some informality which attached to it. A Lady, a member of Well- street congregation, presented a petition, complaining that the London delegates had stated to the Synod at Edinburgh, that infl. ience had been employed to procure signatures to the petition which had been presented by the members of Well Street Chapel, in favour of Mr Fletcher. No Influence- had been used to obtain her signa- ture, and from her own observation, she believed that no in- fluence was employed to procure the signature of any other person. The reading of this petition was followed by some marks of approbation from the audiiqry. One of ihe members of the Presbytery entreated that this plight not be repeated. Neither rtijfiii « ( clapping) nor ex- pressions of applause should be heard at the meetings of the Presbytery. Mr Law observed that Mr Kircaldy would, when the pro- per time arrived, give an answer to the charges which had been brought against him. Mr Kircaldy made a similar rematk. . The petition was then received, and the meeting adjourned. NEW SECT.— About the viJlagoof Millbrook, a con- ^ s'iderable scct named Bryanites, has lately sprung up, whose teachers and leading men claim not only the power of casting out devils, but pretend to possess a still more dangerous power— the power of seeing into the future world, and ascertaining the lot of the inmates thereof, FROM LLOYD'S MARINE LIST, Oct. 5.

Accounts have been received at Lloyd's, of the loss ofthe Mary, Ardlie, from Bengal, and the George the Fourth, Prissick, from the Isle of Franco, both bound to London, which were lost at the. Cape. Tbe follow- ing is a copy of Captain Prissick's letter announcing the loss of the George the Fourth :—- " Breda River, Coast of A fries, July 18, 1824. o Sin— I an> under the necessity of informing you of the loss of the ship King George the Fourth, near this place, on the I61I1 in-'. Having got as far on my passage as Cape La ( Julias, we encountered a heavy .- ale from the NW. which continued with unabated lory fro- a June 27th until July 7ih, during which time the shin -- as totally dismasted antl water- loeer- l, having suruhg iV leak under the main chains, whilst both pumps became disabled, 3tid shortly afterwards broke to pieces. With great exertion's ( in which the passengers and my- self shared W ith lit creiv), and by the laborious work of bailing and lightening, we kept the ship above water during the gale ; ihon.' n wilh all our exertions we could not get her under eight feet water in ihe hold. The - ugar soon melted antl became molasses. After the gale subsided, we found ourselves in 5S South latitude ; the cotton and cloves,' in casks, were washing about in the hold, and rolling from sitle to side ; the stumps of the masts were afloat, and all the beam staunchebns adrift, when we gut up jury masts of such spars as were 011. the deck, most being washed overboard, and made sail ftir the coast in hopes of seeing some homeward bound ship to take us out.— Having made the coast about St. Sebastian's Bay without see- ing any ship, it was my intention to run the ship on shote in that place, but the wind blowing hard to the northward, we Could iiot'get in. The crew and passengers now became cla- morous for the boat to land them, and seeing from the state of the ship ( two of her berths having fallen in, and the rest hav- ing become loose, her decks and seams being open in all parts), that she coulel not hang together 24 hours longer, I was reluc- tantly obliged 10 consent to launch the only little boat we had. The gale left us, antl with considerable difficulty we succeeded in landing at two trips the whole of the passengeis and such of the crew as were lamed and fatigued during ihe late gale. At seven o'clock the same evening I quitted the ship with sixteen men, ami atTeinptPd to laud where the others had done ; they made a fire lo guide us, bilt the surf had made so high, it be. came impossible. After rowing all night, in a deeply laden little boat, we landed at this place the next morning. The wind lm « ing changed during the night, the ship drove ashore On Wednesday the Blonde frigate, Captain Lord Byron, sailed for the Sandwich Islands, with the re- mains of their late Majt-.- nW, and the Governor, Ad- miral, and suite of the late King and Queen of that nation. Previously to their embarkatiou, the ministers of religion, and pastors of Christian churches in the borough of Portsmouth and town of Gosport, accom panied by Captain Henry Moncke Mason, of the Royal Navy, waited upon the officers and gentlemen composing the suite of their late Majesties, to testify their sympathy and condolence on the much lamented death of their Majesties, which they, a3 friends to societies formed for the purpose of sending the Christian religion to other nations, have deeply to deplore. They also tendered expressions of their gratitude to the Sandwich gentle- men, and through them to their nation, for the reception it has given to the missionaries of the gospel ; and most respectfully commended totbeir patronage and protection, the missionaries, and the cause of missions, in their islands. His Majesty's yacht the Herald, Captain Henry J. Leeke, has returned from St. Petersburgh, whither she took Edward Michael Ward, Esq. pro tempore Ambas- sador to the Court of Russia, during the absence ofthe Bight Hon C. Bagot, who returned to England in the Herald, after a passage of seventeen days. The Russian squadron, of two sail of the line and three frigates, under Vice- Admiral Crown, which lately passed up our chan- nel, had arrived off Elsirtetir ; they were seven weeks circumnavigating the Britisi Isles for a summer's cruise. A new Russian 74, and a frigate, both launched this summer at Archangel, were at Copenhagen, on then- way up toCronstadt ; and a small Russian frigate, com- manded by Captain Docteroff, fitted as a store- ship, was on her way, 011 a two years' voyage of Discoveries in Bhering's Straits. The Danes have only one frigate in commission; she came out of the Baltic with the Herald, being bound to St. Thomas and Santa Cruz, 111 the West Indies. DISCOVERY SHIPS— The following is an extract of a letter from the Agent to Lloyd's at Hall, dated the 7th of October. The Mary Frances, Captain Wilkinson, arrived from Davis' Straits, reports that he saw the Discovery Ships beset in the Mi.'..'.!* Ice, « » the IT^ hof- July, . jo l » u 70. l- wg 5. Cjptnjn Wilkinson entered the ice 011 tfie following day in lat. 66. long. 20. and penetrated to the West Land 011 the 26th, where he remained until the 9ih September, when he bore away for Eng- land, having taken thirteen whales. He was nearly as high as Lancaster Sound, and states that the prospect for the Discovery Ships was very favourable, as ihe weather was fine, and the coast unusually free from ice. As he never met them after he got through the barrier of ice, there can be no doubt of their having had an equally favourable passage. The Mary Frances and the William and Ann were the only ships which got through the barrier in the month of July ; the remainder of the fishing vessels having attempted ihe passage in a higher latitude, did not succeed until August. There has been no losses ; but one of the ships ( the Jane of this port) sustained considerable damage. ENINBTRROH CATTLE MARKET, Oct. 6— Tins day there were 3S75 sheep and lambs in the market.

Though, several heavy showers fell during the last three weeks of the month, the important open itions ofthe harvest met with comparatively little obstruction until within these eight days that the weather became very unsettled, with frequent heavy falls of rain. During the first wtele of the month, the weather was very warm cud sunny, t t hermometer varying from 65 to to 70 degrees in the shade ; 1 ', towards the latter part of it, il became cold, and or two tl - -, tie 27th and 29th, particularly the latter, the Grampian !• were as white as if it had been in the dead of winter, ' l'lt; fr. t for several mornings about this time, especially 011 that of tit? 29th, was more severe than we recollect lo have seen it so early in the season ; ice was observ- ed in many instances more than half- an- inch thick. In early situations, the harvest was partially finished about a week or ten days ugo, and the crop secured in fine condition ; but, in the late and upland districts, a good many ofthe oats are still out, and in various instances not a few still to cut down.— Barley and wheat, and such of the oats as were stacked previ- ous to the late rains, have been got in generally in good order ; but, unless the weather sOoli alter, there is little chance of the remaining part being got in so well. The crop, unless in par- ticular situations, or where a larger proportion of it stands by wheat, is rather below than above an average; but there is little doubt, as we have already stated, but it will yield, in so far as safely boused, remarkably well to the straw, and the grain will he of a superior quality. Potatoes are beginning to be taken up, and every where the quality is reported to be good, and the crop, though in the same cases not so heavy as expect- ed. is in general toltealhj^ ftbuiidaol. The late rains have been favourable to Ihe pastures arid turnips, which latter, if tiie weather continue another month lo be favourable, will he a fine crop. Cattle, since last I'alkirk Tryst, have been in fair de- mand, and prices looking up ; and, should the next tryst, which holds the ensuing week, prove as lively a market, it is likely cattle wiil continue in request during the season, as it does not appear there is any overstock at present in the country. Sheep have also experienced an advance 111 price since Falkirk market, so that good wedders are now reckoned worth from JE'J- to £ 0 per score above the rate. Of our summer markets. As to grain, very little ofthe new crop is vet carried to market, so that prices can hardly be stated. Barley, owing to its fine quality, is expected to be in fair demand for ihe distillers, and we have heard of some of it. having been sold about 25s. per boll, but the quantity sold as yet is very trifling.

Two o'Ctotk.— Since Monday last we have tiad a great deal of wet weather, and a large proportion of the i-. ew Wheal that has been brought to niaiket, being of very indifferent quality and in a damp state, caused a considerable improvement in the demand for all old qualities.

EDINBURGH, Oct. 12. The weather since our last has been the most unfa- vourable that could be for agricultural purposes, A great deal or rain has fallen, particularly on 1' rtday evening, when it came down in torrents. Ytst& itoy tfcs ", vieo blew a hurricane from the north- east, which strewed the streets with the ruins of chimney- cans, & c. A num- ber of the tops of the lamps on the Earthen Mound were also blown off. The gale continued all day, but with abated violence. We have not for some years been so frequently visited by dense fogs, as during the present season. The wihd continued extremely boisterous throughout last night, accompanied by rain and hail. _ Yesterday, from the violence of the gale, all commu- nication with the Opposite coast was stopt, as far as re- garded the Lei h and Newhaven boats, the risk of mak- ing a passage being so very great. A number of vessels ran for shelter to those situations where the lee afforded a chance of safety. A large ship anchored under the lee of Inchkeith, from which she is said to have been driven ; this vessel is supposed to be the Isabella Simp- son, from Jamaica, which is reported in Lloyd's List to have passed Brighton on the4th inst. Tlie " light- house at the pier of Neivhaven has been destroyed by the beat- ing ofthe sea. It is greatly to be feared that severe loss has been sustained by the shipping on the coasts. ' KELSO, Oet: 11— We have not had, for several years past, worse weather than w„ s experienced from Thursday morning till about noon of Saturday last, dur- ing the whole of which period it rained heavily and in- cessantly. There was, at the same time, a fog so dense, as to confine the view to a very short space, and the at- mosphere, thus loaded with vapours, was close and op- pressive. Those farmers who, from the previous unsettl- ed weather, had been prevented finishing harvest, must have suffered great injury. We are sorry to learn, that many in the upper districts, both to the south and north, have considerable quantities of corn still out, and are thereby placed in a very different situation from tha more fbrtunate tenants ofthe lo-. ver districts, most of whom had their crops fully housed near a month ago. MUSTCAL Fl! sT IVA f,.— The preparations for the Festival are fast approaching to a termination, and we understand it is intended that the arrangements in the Parliament House shall be completed in sufficient time to enable the Directors to open ir tor public inspection, as on former occasions, at , a trifling sum per head, for tlie benefit of the charities. The improvements that have been lately made in this spacious and splendid room, since the last Festival, will, no doubt, give it consider- able additional brilliancy at the forthcoming " meeting.— To afford every possible advantage aud effect to the' ad- mirable baud which is to be assembled on this occasion, the Directors have been at the expense of bringing dov n from London a person well skilled in such matters, for the express purpose of assisting in the erection of an or- chestra. This gentleman has' already arrived, and Is superintending the works going forward at the Parlia- ment House. The strength of the orchestra has been judiciously and considerably increased on the present occasion, and is actually more than double what it was at the festival of 1815. Thursday forenoon, a funeral service for the repose of Louis XV HI. was performed in the Catholic chapel, broughton Street. The French Consul had previously issued a notice inviting the subjects of France, residing in Edinburgh, to attend ; but, probably owing to the j unfavourable state of the weather, very few persons i were present.

THOUCi 11 as a ptihlie man Major CA RTWmCnt }' js been before the public for more than half a century, h's character daring a great part of his life was much misrepresented.; anj although, during the last fifteen « ears, a more correct estimate was formed of him, and his exertions in thfe cause of his- country, attempts are- r- till made to, represent his character as that of a poor - vVonsrv, an imbecile who, with very good intentions, wits atwavs in pursuit of political chimeras in themselves I'lis- ttainobk' ewl listless, or worse, were they actually to be procured. Those who ' were tlie fnost intimately acquainted with the Major, and the most competent judges of his politico!- character, kiM-. v that such impu- tations unon his memory are altogether unfounded, they 8is- such lie would, when alive, have probably treat- ed with silent contempt ; ' nut they ought not to pass without axiinic'. dvc/ sit n, now, when only the works he has left can pourtrav bis character, if those who had the honour of his - acquaintance tki not answer his calumnia- tors. But these works are aegt cted by those who-, dis- liliint- his principles, complain of his style as intolerably tedious, and because he did r. ot express himself in few words, therefore infer that what he wrote could not pos- sibly deserve attention. Major CAHTWRIGHT was not r- i be culled a learned man, but he had most assiduously studied the history of the Constitution of England, which ' it was the great Object of his exertions to restore, con- vinced as he was, that while corruption is avowed and Functioned in the legitl - ture the people cannot be vir- tuous, and enjoy real happiness He believed the es- reller cc of our constitution to consist in the independ- ence of the representatives of the people,' s.> that while a good King may confer the greatest'benefits upon the p- t- op'p, he lie able torinju. e them but little, should l . e unfortunately be so inclined When Major C. was still'a voung man, he espoused the cause of liberty and independence, and, with many of the greatest men of tlie time, declared his abhorrence ofthe attempt to levy t. Txes on the Colonist* of North America, while they were allowed no representatives in the British Parliament. He wr. s at that time in, the navy, ami declined serving in n cause which iie conscientiously believed unjust, as the Earl of EFFINGHAM also did in the army. Con- nected with men of great talents, and some of them of hjoh rank, he began to exert Inmselfin favour of Parlia- mentary Kef im previously to the year 1779, and these exertions have been unremitting until within a very short period of his death. Upon the accession of the late Mr. J'ITT to power, who had already expressed himself wrrir. lv as, the sincere friend of real reform, he enter- tained high expectations from the son of the Earl of CHATHAM ; but he soon discovered symptoms of ter- giversation in the conduct of the young statesman, and formed a correct opinion of his real character. In the v « ar 1780, he was one of the Yorkshire deputies who " in their declaration publistd a resolution—" that Annual Parliaments are a most essential part of the ancient con- stitution of England, ar. d the birth right of Englishmen," a fact iiicontestii ly established bv the history and records of the country : ami vet for his consistency in main- taining this principle of the constitution, the Major has been called a visionary, and it is confidently asserted, that Annual Parhr. meiits are altogether impracticable; At that time, Major CARTWIUOHT co- operated with some of trie most respectable men m England, amongst whom the names of S A v ILL e. VVYV; LLE, J EBB, JONES, and PAWK. ES, stand conspicuous, their exertions being 1 et fresh in the mem< yv of the, public. ' 1 be EWiC ol HlOirMAsti ana other Peers advocated the cause of lieform in the House of Lords, and the late King hav ing given full powers to Mr. PITT, v. hen became into ofiice, - toxleal with the. cause of Parliamentary Reform as le midtt dee proper. a reform of the representation at that time would bave lieen obtained, had not means been found to disunite the friends of the measure, by starting the proposal of triennial parliaments, which, according to the best authorities nre in principle as irrecouciicab with the constitution of En daitdas those: of seven, ten, oi twenty years duration. Whether Major CAHT- WKKiHI was right in attributing the man rail vies used upon this occasion to Mr. DUNDAS we do not know but be always believed, that he was the principal agent in bringing aliout the apostacy ol Mr. POTT, disuuitiu the reformers, and strengthening whatever prejudices the late King may have entertained against a fair and fee representation of the peoplp. It is not to be won- ckirid at- that, iii aftet life, he wns the determined enemy of half measures when a reform of the Commons was the object in view, and that on every occasion he warned the friends of reforai to lieware of the artifice which paralyzed their, efforts in 1780—- and in fact, suspended for a considerable time tile agitation of the subject— till the excesses of the French revolution aflforded- a new pre- text for rendering it unpopular. The efforts of tlie Major to impress tiie ' importance of fair representation in Par Jimnent upon tiie public mind, were however unremit- ting : and year after year, from 177J) to the spring of the present \ car, he continued hi? - publications upon the subject, sometimes in the form of Ess. iys, sometimes in thatof Letters addressed to the friends of the measure, and these writings produced great effect. Before his death he had the satisfaction to know, that many of the first families in England, and some both in Scotland and Ire- land, had completely adopted Jiis sentiments, concern- ing the necessity of a real reform of the representation of the Commons, the middling and lower ranks having ' long been unanimous. He had also seen a very considerable change in the measures of Administration, the intoler- ance of PUT and CASTLEUEAGH giving way to more liberal policy, and an amicable approximation of parties, which but a few vears ago could not have been antici- pated. To these favourable results Majbr CARTWRIGHT contributed much, not directly, for he never held any official situation, but his writings greatly influenced pub- Ire opinion, and even the great Whig Leaders, who at one time strenuously opposed him, have openly and can- didly declared their conviction that truth had ever been on his side. It is now more than probable, that a real reform ofthe representation, without tumultor blood- shed, must take place at no distant period, a change that must prove highly beneficial to the Sovereign as well as the subject— and when that auspicious period shall arrive, the nation will not forget its obii rations' to Ma- jor CARTvvRIGHT. Of his honourable character as an individual, it is quite unnecessary to speak ; all parties allowing that no imputation could possibly be cast upon his character, for any, thing indirect or deceitful in the whole course of his long life. The following anecdote we give upon the authority of the party concerned, under his own hand : A Banking House in London, with whom a gentleman'of fortune and respectability in York- shire was considerably involved, had suspended payments. Amongst the assets. of the bankrupt was found a bond of Major CARTWWOHT'S brother for L'- l- OOO., with the Major's security ; but it was immediately seen that the Banker had charged usurious interest, and the prosecu- tion ofthe bond in a court of law might subject the. pro- secutoi; to penalties. No demand was made upon Major CARTWRIGHT; but after the death of the gentleman of Yorkshire alluded to, the Major called upon his son and heir, and reminded him of the circumstanfes. He was rather hurt at being reminded ofa serious loss, and informed the Major, that l aying no legal claims, he should wish to hear nothing farther upon the'subject The Major then said, " with the usurious part of this transaction I can have nothing to do— but when 1 joined my brother in this bond, it Was certainly lay intention to pav' the money if he could not, an d 1 do not mean to get rid of an honourable engagement on account ot the misconduct of a Banker." He then paid uppritieipland interest to the very day, and withdrew a bond which, before the unexpected visit, the holder did not think worth one shilling." It is with much regret that we notice late proceedings in Ireland. The intolerance that the Catholics have ma- nifested upon some recent occasions must, we ( ear', in- jure their cause ; and furnish arguments to their antago- nists, against their complete emancipation, and resto- ration to a fair participation in political rights. Respec- ting highly the catholic body, we have always been the bumble advocates of their rights to a participation in all the rights, that the constitution confers upon their fellow- subjects. But their religious dogmas they should not L ' PI obtrude upon the world, at the present day. 1 he time was, when every article of faith was implicitly believed upon the authority ofthe Church of Rome ; but having access to the same recorded authorities with the Church — even the most learned of its members— men are n_ o- lon- ger disposed to receive as divine injunctions the ditto of the clergy. On the other hand, the proceedings of the Corporation of Dublin are calculated to do infinite mischief, manifesting as they do not intolerance in creeds merely, but an evident inclination to keep the Catholics in a state of degrading inferiority. At Mr. Sheriff WARREN'S dinner, it is reported, that the toast, the Lord Lieutenant and peace and tranquillity to Ireland," was received with a coldness, as freezing as one of the landlord ( Morison's) ices. The " glorious, pious, and immortal memory of the great and good King WIL- LIAM," was, on the contary, received with tumults of applause ; and " Protestant ascendancy all over the world" was most enthusiastically cheered. This affords no presage ol jieaceftil times for Ireland— and until the Orange faction shall be put down by the strong hand of power, there appears no- probability of their desisting from measures that must provoke the Catholics to resis- tance and acts of violence. The Agent of ihe London Greek Committee, Capt. BLAQUIERE, has arrived in England. He brings ac- counts of the most decided advantages gained by the Greeks during the present campaign—- or rather the com- paign now terminated— but we have not yet seen the letuils. The Turks are no longer formidable to the Greeks— but the designs of the Holy Alliance, are not supposed to be favourable to their independanee. BIRTH. On the 12th inst. Mrs. IVNOW- I.

DEATH. At A tie oath, in the prime of life, oti the ," d cust. Mr. DAVID CAREY", junior. Having solely devoted his life to literary pursuits, Mr, Carey may he said to have been an author by profession, and bis productions in this line, both tn prose and verse, aie numerous, and possessed of considerable merit. For a number of years past, he wasconneCted with the public press London, where he constantly resided till lately, that he returned to . his native place, in hopes of recovering his health. Mr. Carey for some years conducted the Inverness Journal for the late Mr. Young, and while there published the long des- criptive poem of •• Craig Phudrick," & c. & c.

BROWN, Minister of Dmniblade, from Dan. vii, 27- proceeded to the election of a Moderator for the ensuing half y. ear,. wllea the Ue-'. (- KeirjesifXNif, minister of Turriff, was chosen. There was no business ofany public interest before the Synod, except the consideration ofa bill proposed to be brought into Parliament respecting rebuilding and repairing Churches, Mao- e--, and Schools, and the additional salaries of School- masters ; which bill was likewise before- the late Michaelmas Head Court. The Synod were unanimously of opinion, that the enactments of said bill, if passed into a law, would be in jurious to the interest of the Clergy, and destructive of the rights of tlie Chwrch in many important particulars. After going through tiie usual routine buiiuess, the Synod adjourned till April next. ABERDEEN AUXILIARY BIBLE SOCIETY. The Annual General Meeting of the Aberdeen Auxiliary Bible Society look place, in the Court House, on Thursday- last, V - GAVIN HADDEN. Esq. Lord Provost, Vice- President, in the Chair. After the Report and an Abstract of the Treasurer's Ac- counts were read, by which it appears'that the funds were pro- gressively increasing, the usual Resolutions were proposed, and unanimously adopted. The Father of the Synod paid a tri- bute of respect to the members taken away by death since last meeting ; and shewed that the number of Christians on the earth, which fifty years ago were computed as only one- sixth part, of the populalron, now amounted to'one- fourth : and the gentleman, who seconded his motion for printing ihe Rppor: repelled, in a very luminous speech, every objection which has been made to the ope- aliens of the Bible Society. The Rev Principal BROWN, in proposing a vote of ilianks to the Most Noble, President, tlie Marquis of HOTLY, which was second- ed from the Chair, staled the many amiable qualities which distinguished his Lordship, amongst which he enumerated his public spirit, lii- i eh.-. i ity and benevolence, his attractive man tiers, and inviolable liudliiy to his engagements. In many in ttrv.-',! ii£ « ad eloquent addresses which followed, several, new ' ideas wore t- hrnwn out ; ar. d It was slu'wn th. it, iilftependenfly ; of the spirhual benefits conveyed to other nations, the litera- ture and commerce of our ow n country were likely to derive no small advantage from the labours of the British and Foreign Bible Society, The respectable Clergyman, who moved the thanks of the Meeting lo the Hon. the Lord i'rovost, for his able and gratifying conduct in the chair, announced that the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland had determined to form a National Establishment for propagating Christian knowledge, and sending out Mi- sionaries to pie., eh the gospel ; which information was hailed as a most desirable and Auspi- cious measure, and likely to be highly useful in aiding and encouraging those other laudable societies, now in active operation. Thursday, the Rev. the Presbytery nf Aberdeen met in the West Church, when, ni'ier a Sermon by the Rev. I> r. Ross, they proceeded to moderate a call to Mr. Murray, in the room of the late Mr. Doig. Oil. GAS. — An important paper on the illuminating powers of G;| s from Oil and Coal, has been lately published at Edinburgh. In July last, Professor Leslie had addressed a letter to the Coal^ Gas Company in that ciiy, which was published in the newspapers, and in which he slated the value of Oil Gas in giving light, at a far Ipwer rate than had been previously done by any Chemist. This opinion being in fact so contradictory lo ail that had been hitherto published 011 the subject, either by the friends or opponents of the two kinds of Gas, occasioned some surprise at tho time, particularly in Edinburgh, wheie two rival Companies have been formed, each naturafy dcsircus of possessing cot reel values of the article which they manufacture anil sell to . the public. Professor Leslie had stated, in his communication, that in his experiments he made use of an instrument contrived by himself, and called a Photometer; and this instrument being well known to act only by the heat connected with the light which it isapjilied to measure, he had mentioned, that he had so arranged ins apparatus as to exclude the irregular infuen.- e of the heat," liut without mentioning the mode which I e h id adopted to aceomplish vhis. D » Christisou, Professor in the College of Edinburgh, and Dr Turner, Lecturer on Chemistry in that city, have shewn by experiments, that no contrivance yet known to Philosophers, can render Mr Leslie's instrument a delicate or an exact measurer of light, and that, therefore, it is. altogether ia. pro- per to propose it as a tc- 1 ot. the Hlltiwrnatiag powers of Co. ii aild Oil G. 1S ; espfi- islly since it nii- an establish*) fact, ti. at one of tlie 1: KH. venieucies of Coal Gas in practice, is the great quantity of heat which i. 1 gives out when burning, and ' consequently one 01 the greatest defects of Coal Gas becomes the reason wby Mr Leslie shews, that it is nearly equal in value to Oil These Gentlemen, therefore, object to the instrument entirely, when an attempt is made to apply it to a practical purpose of such vast consequence as the subject in q in- tinn. The celebrated Dr Brewster, in a letter dated 14th Sept. 1824. noes farther, and assorts tbst the instrument used by ProSeS'- ov Leslie was proposed so long ago as 1760. by M. Lambert, in bis wort 011 measuiing light, who at the same time pointed out iis inaccuracy for thai, purpose; that Mr Leslie's instrument is utterly useless in practice, because it indicates total darkness, when exposed to the light of the brightest moon shine many hundred times condensed— that it is founded 011 the erroneous principle, that the quantity of heat is always in proportion to the intensity of the light— that it was accoid- ingly rejected by the illustrious Ilerstliel,. and has never been used liy any man of science, but Mr Leslie himself-— that it is of no use for measuiing the strength of any - flames whatever, ar less those produced by burning Coal and Oil Gases. Dr. Brewster, in conclusion, approves of Drs Turner and Christi- son's experiments, at which ho was present. The previous experiments, therefore, made by Messrs. Brande, Phillips, Faraday and others, which shew that Oil Gas is from to 3| times more luminous than Coal Gas, re- main in their full force as far as Professor Leslie's statements re concerned, since these last rest entirely on fallacious grounds. The Directors of the Edinburgh Oil Gas Company, who have published the above- mentioned documents, have added several accounts of the great success of Oil Gas in lighting the shops' and public buildings of the ciiy of Dublin, where it seems to be in the highest repute.

Hon, the Earl of Aberdeen has generously orderfd, 20 bells, of Meal to be distributed among the poor in the' . arish of lUethliek. On Wednesday the 39th ult,. the bread of the Bakers of this city and suburbs was i nspected n. t. weighed, in the Council Chamber, in presence :; f the Magis'rates.; and, although the bread, while en the eve of delivery, was brought directly from the different, bakehouses 10 the Town Clerk's Chamber, with- out any previous uotice being given to the bakers, or the divul- ging of the intention ofthe Magistrates in any way, as is uni- formly the practice; it is but justice > 0 the bakers to say, that, in general, the bread was not only full weight, but in many instances considerably over weight, and welt baked. In a few cases a small deficiency was found, hut which the Magistrates were satisfied had taken plate through inadvertency, a » oth* r parts of tire same person's bread proved to- be over- weight. Most ofthe bread was properly marked, in terms of the statute, but the owners of such part of it as was not so marked were fined, and tbe'Magistratesstgnified tlu- ir^' termination strictly to enforce that salutary regulation in every instance in future. On the 23d uft. the body ofa poor woman was discovered in the Leuchar burn, in the parish of Pelerculter, into which she- had fallen and was dr- owned. Slie lodged in a farm house in. that parish the night preceding, and had only left it about two lioars before her body was found. Her name is said to be pallet Short or Stewart. She was decently interred in the Church- yard, at the expence of the Session. Tuesday, Jean Milne, or Watt, from Tarland. accused of reset of theft, was brought before the Sheriff, at the instance ofthe Procurator Fiscal, and being found Guilty, was sen- tenced to six weeks imprisonment in Bridewell. On Thursday last, a tall, slender, genteel looking man of about 30 years of age, having black eyes, aud wearing a blue surtotit, went into a public house in St. Fergus, where he remained nearly an hour, in a room by himself, taking some refreshment. Soon after, ha bad gone away,, some silver sptKinx, ar. d about 10s. in silver, wi re missed from thai rtxim, and he being suspected, was followed after, and next day appre- hended, about 20 miles off, and searched, and the spo- mS found 011 him. On being questioned, he said his name was Daniel G.- ahame, that he was a teacher of music, and tuner of piano- fortes,- travelling the country'in ihe way of bis busi- ness ; but could refer to no one for a character. He has since been committed to jail by the Sheriff of Aberdeenshire, for trial. The weather has, itnce our'last, been very tempestuous presenting still, we regret 10 state, a very unfavourable prospect for securing the outstanding crop, which although consider- able in some particular situations, is not, as far as we can learn, so great as materially to affect the country in general. On Saturday I ist it blew a hard gale from the north eastward, which continued next day, blowing sharp and cold but dry, soth. it on Monday and Tuesday, although partial showers fell, a good ileal of corn was carried in better order than could have been expected. On Wednesday the rain fell in torrents, with httle abatement until Thursday morning, when tho prodigi- ous flood ill the rivers Dee and Don shewed, that the rain had been very general ; and exclusive of what the crop must have otherwise suffered, that a considerable loss had been sus- tained on the haughs. as appeared by the gteat quantity of corn which floated down the swollen current of Dee in particular. A great deal of timber was brought down Dee at the same time, and one float of timber coming against the wooden bridge at the Shore Brae, injured some ofthe pillars and framcby wbith it is supported, so that the Bridge itself appeared for some time in danger, but by timely exertion in getting the timber separated, and floated- off in detached parts, farther damage was prevented. Yesterday mowing the ground was slightly covered with snow, arid we had throughout the day showers of sleet and rain— tile wind shifting from its old quarter to the north- west ward. We regret to add, that the extraordinary R - oil ofthe Dee occasioned a melancholy accident 011 Wednesday, at Michael' Fair of Charlton, Aboyne. A boat, with nine persons in it, intending tocroes over from ihe market to the south side of the river, had hut ju- t pushed off when it was- carried down by the rap. diiy of the em rent, and immediately Riled with water, by which the passengers were, with the exception of one man, immersed iu the river. By the assistance of some people who witnessed the accident, or were tlrawn to the spot 011 the alarm being given, and the ptrenuoiis exertions of those in the water themselves, six ofthepassengers weresoon gut to land; while the seventh, a young man of the name of Darnie, was with difficulty saved by some people on horsebac k, who followed the boat, to which . fie still clung, a great way dawn the river, aud saved him by extending a long rod for his rescue, A woman, ofthe name of Thomson, and her oldest child, a girl of about ! 1 or 12 years of age, were, soon however carried beyond the reach of assistance, and unfortunately drowned. The poor woman was the mother of a large family, and her fate is much lamented ; her body was found yesterday near Cults, about 4 miles from Aberdeen, and that of the girl the same day. at Torry, op. positethe Inches, in this harbour. Great credit is given tt) one of the passengers of the name of Ingram, who, although 011 the point of losing, his life, forgot his own danger in the piaise- worthy exertions he ma le for saving a Mrs. Whylc ar. d her daughter, whom he saw grasping one another, and whom he happily succeeded in re- cuing from their perilous . situation.

Yesterday forenoon, the body of a man was found in this harbour, at th„ t part of the Quay opposite tlie Weigh- house. It was si- on recogn'z a! to be that ofa Chelsea pensioner of the name of „ Fras" r, who, it is supposed, had fallen over the ihe Q- iay the preceding night, as. although a wound and some bruises appeared on one side of his head, his death it is believed was purely accidental. CASTLE OF KIRKWALL— We learn from a corres- pondent in Kitkwall, that the last fragments of its ancient castle are about to be disfigured by the erection of some vulgar modern building on its site, or within its precincts, which will shut up entirely from view the broken relics of this once massy edifice. It was built prior to the year 1400, by Henry St. Clair of Roslin, Earl of Orkney, w ho also built the beautiful chapel, of Roslin ; and it is connected with the history of that remote province and of Scotland, by its being the place in which Both well sought refuge after his separation from Queen Mary at Carberry. It was besieged iu the reign of King James VI. by the E n I of Caithness, who partially demolished it, after suppressing an insurrection headed by the Earl of Orkney's son ; and for some time past it. has been intruded on as a fa- vourite resort for shambles and peat stacks, cow- bouses, aud pig sties, This ruin is an integral part of the Earldotn of Orkney, of which it was the principal fortalice, and though the poet imagined the dust of Alexander " stopping a bung hole," we need no stretch of fancy to anticipate, that, before Christmas, this ancient stronghold of Princes, and the com- panion of Kings, will be converted into a brew- house or a lap. room. This is all quite in character, and of 3 piece with the erection ofa temple to Cloaeina iu a church- yard, or the dis- figuration of columns 800 years iu the cathedral (; of which we are happy to hear the Barons of Exchequer have taken Ihe proper notice) ; these operations all intimating that they must be the conception of one mind, and ihe work of one hand. ABERDEEN CORN MARKET, Oct. 15. The principal sales in the Maiket to- day was in Bear, which is ratlier dearer. The Oat samples as well as the Wheal were mostly damp, and die price of both various.

On Sunday last, a foreign vessel, Jonje Duff, from Easterice, in Norway, came in here through a heavy sea, with considerable, difficulty, the tide being greatly ebbed, and the vessel having carried away her top- mast and part of her mainmast in running for the harbour. And 011 Monday morning, the schooner Dee. late Collie, of this place, was put in here, and escaped similar danger coming through the breakers, with only her main sail and jib set, having split most of her satis. The vessel was bound so Belfast from Archangel, and was short of provisions; having'been 46 days at sea. She had encountered a succession of heavy gales after passing the North Cape,- and been driven as far North as lat. 73. ; but finally making Kinuaird's head was obliged to run for Aberdeen. The Dee sailed from Archangel in company with the Julia, Laird, bound to Belfast; and Jean. Smart, also o'f this place, bound to Montrose, where she arrived on the 10th inst. : spoke the Mary of Grangemouth, on the 2d inst. 2' deg. N. of jihetlaud, also from Archangel. • . Theschooner EU'zii, Mathieson. of Aberdeen, from Dron- iheim to Coleraine, with deals, was put up to Inverkeithing short of provisions, part of her sails split, and part of her bul- warks and rails carried away, having encountered very tem- pestuous weather for IS days previous, aud the vessel being leaky. The schooner Enterprise. Thomson, of this jrlacn, from Lon- don, gat into Shields on Monday through a tremendous sea ; a brig and a schooner, in attempting Ihe bar, were driven 011 the Herd sand, but havo since been got off, and carried into the harbour. The follow! ng other Aberdeen t » exxels were ex posed to the gale: Search, Hogg, from London, driven up to Queensferry ; asal- o. Hero, Gilbertson, for Newcastle, after being 011 Satutday laid on her beam ends off the Co- k-.- t, and saved by the fore- sai » nd jib giving way ; Pearl, M- Haiti. 30 days from Archangel, passed through this bay on Tuesday morning, unable to take this harbour from the heavy sea running, and arrived safely in Burntisland roads. The Nymph, Hntcheon, gol baek to-' ih Tay, whence she had sailed for Sunderland ; Active, Yule, at Newcastle; Fox, Allan, at Hull. A sloop, the Newburgh Volunteer, of and for Leitb, from Newcastle, with coals, struck ihe rocks at the Carr, near Don- bar, on Saturday last, where she instantly went to pieces; three of the crew saved on pieces of the wreck, and one by a boat from the shore. Along the Northumberland and Yorkshire coasts the gale appears to have been very, violent, and the accounts of ship- wrecks are most distressing. Tlie following are the leading particulars of the appalling list of losses which have reaehed us At Sunderland, the gale which commenced on Saturday, in creased on Sunday night to a violent storm, accompanied with rain aud thick weather. On Monday morning, a lime sloop was diiven ashore at the back of lha South, pier ; and the bri. Endeavour at the back of the North pier of Sunderland ; and about two miles to the Northward, the biig Fame, formerly of ibis place— crews saved, but ihe vessels feared lo go to pieces, About 5 p. in. a vessel, supposed a brig, came ashore bottom up— crew drowned. On Tuesday trim t-. ing, three more liri end a Bark were ashore ne » r Suudt- i land : the Bark w « at tu, pieces; and one of the flrigs, hath belonging Jo Newcastle, was expected momently tt- break up also. One brig had rbde at anchor both days, with her masts cut away ; and oilier tureo were riding about four miles to the soutl ward, and were ex- pected to keep by their anchors, as the weather had 1110 iera- gj. Different letters we have spen fr. tn Sunderland state, unit forty sail of vessels were ashore between Hartlepool and toe tocket island. For some days, vessels in Sunderland were moored with their cables, owing to the great fresh it, the river Wear, by which it is supposed, timber to the value of upwards of L. 500 Ster. had heen carried to sea, but partly Washed ashore by the Easterly gales afterwards. The Henry. Hanningtorr, of Portsmouth, bound to this place wiih ship timber, was stranded near Morpeth on Mon- day ; but it is expected will g„ t off without much damage ; fia- e other vessels weie driven ashore within half a mile other, three of which had gone to pieces. The Diana, Black, of this place, from London to Suu ler- land, in ballast, was on Tuesday driven ashore near Hartlepool; where, although on a sandy beach, the vessel appeared to tuf considerably damaged in the hull. Thirty ves, els were seen to be a- lrnre in that neighbourhood, and towards the Tecs,. among these, the- Mars. Deubain, bound to the Northward, A tetter from an intelligent Gentleman at Sunderland, in stat- in? the par'it olars of this vessel, adds, that lit'a fleet of 150 sail, which left Yarmouth roads 011 Sunday last, with a fine wind frotn ESI3. upwards of 100 were ashore, a great number ot" which would be totally lost. The alarm which this direful storm appears to have excited, fro tt the large fl - et expected or known td bttve betn on the coast, may have led the concerned it, over. rale the number of: vessels which may have suffered, as we hope to be „ i, le to con- firm in our next.
