The next six weeks, I was a compete invalid, and . pyiucU pally confined to my room by a sore ia my leg, which origmated in- a simple bite from a mosquito, but, for the lust ramilih, I » have lived with a respectable American fam? lyr aad i vmv begin to Un- derstand a little better the people aud Jrheir cu^ foiiis. $ anr happy to say, that fronr my observation, and t^ a> cco\ « it. s of tho « e who have resided here many years, my opinion of South America is very favourable. To me it appears there can be no doubt, that the foundation of a free and powerful Government are laid, arid that nothing is panting but time and peace to complete the structure. And, although war may retard its progress, it cannotf destroy it for the love of liberty and the love of" knowledge have taken sweh thai hold, that they must not only keep their hold, but. spread wider and wider every day. It is truly gratifying to see one's nation respected, I may say admired, as Great Britain is here— English dresses, English, coaches,. English manners— indeed, 1 may say, English evevy. thing— begin to be fashionable. For example, when you were here, 1 suppose you nev# r saw an American lady in a bonnet, but now they are quite a la mode, ami worn exactly the same ; is in England whe? r 1 li ft. Formerly, I am told, a gentleman never oftefed & lady his arm ; now, a man seen walking cordially with his wife, is not a thing to Imj stared a?, though still rare. There seems & lso to be a general desire to learn the English language, and I have met with several young wien in shops, who speak it tolerablv wellv Many . of the . principal familffK now send tlu- ir eons toEog- H » nd to W edwcatefl^, and t understand- rhaf eigl. l or- fei » H- e going ^ y the packet wkicii iraiUnext- wet- Tc.

EDWAftb GIBBON WAKEFtEI. D. [ Frbm the. Liverpool Mercury.) The following interestsng account of the Elopement, with ! VTr. Wake- field of his ftrst wife, is drawn tip expressly for the Mercury. j Edward Wakefield, Esq. the father of the subject of this sketch, ; whose celebrated work on Ireland is so often referred to for the accu- racy aud interest of it's details, is one of the ftrst land- agents in the j kingdom, and enjoys an income of .£ 7000 or ,£ 8000 per arntim. j He is now a candidate for the representation in Parliament of the j borcwgh of Reading, and a short, time ago, married at the hotel of the British Ambassador a4" Paris, Miss I) avies, daughter of I> g. BaVieV of Macdestiejd, a schoolmaster of the first celebrity, ills swn, Edward Gibbon Wakefield, was, at an early age, sent to at- tend the University at Edinburgh, confided to the c ire of a friend i fcfhis father in that metropolis, a clerical gentleman of great literary j acquirements, and peculiarly distinguished as a Greek scholar. '* in j the family of this respectable ' individual* young Wakefield, from fkfe j frank and cheerful deposition, became a great favourite- lie was a ' fine looking vouth, a leader among his companions, stod the life of every party ; bnfhis love of frolic and that rough amusement com- tnrm to boyhood, in pursuance of which he played off many . practi- cal jokes bordering upon the mischievous, rendered him at length so an innoc luce to the sedate inmates of tkc hou- e, that they were ob% ed to write to his father requesting that he might he removed. He « « oon after left Scotland, haying studied for about two years at College, where 3ie obtained the reputation of* cleverness, uiacred, however, by that want of attention and punctuality which was rfse natural consequence of. his love of amusement. Of the nature of these frol^*, some idea, m. iv be formed from the fact, that on one ohca< wvnf iu c. omp my with a tellow- student, he passed himself ofcf as a blind fiddler, " and performed his part so well amongst his every- day acquaintance, that, not on,? of them discovered fchfc joke ; and lie drew " fro n them . charitable contribution* to a considerable amount^ fnioving- afterw. mls the wicked satisfaction of laughing at them for their ercduiity. The bilking of policemen wis another favourite joke;- but mere annoyance to those about hi in, by his waggery, without, a di* hoJK> urabie act whatever, formed the head and front of his offending, and of this so sensible were the family with whom he lived, that lie continued, after he left them, in habits of intimacy and correspondence. Four or five wart- after' his departure from Edinburgh, a young man, in : t sh i!> bv~ genteel dress, knocked at the door of his father friend in th it city, aad inquired wifh much earnestness for the gentleman of the houseHis appeanrnc? wis s'tch, that little t- aong- nrient was given to his inq^ irfe's, and being told that the gentlfma^ w is not at; home, hcetprfsHed himself as very unfortu* n< K » in turf mating with him. It was not, however, until he in- quired of? the lady of the house wither a letter had been received from Mr. Wakefield, and mentioned his name, that she surveyed him with attrition, and discovered, through a disguise rendered more complete by his anxiou* and iaded appearance, that he was none other thftn her former young fcie jd himself. He was received with cordiality, mingled with BO little surprise at his apparent plight. He explained that he was in a state of great destitution ; and, what was worse, tint he had a young la?! y of respectability under, his care, who w. vs in an obscure place in tig? town, anil in- jgc. ch absolute want o* funds and dress, that she could not be produced ; and he en- treat.' d the lady to « eud Wer some necessary supply of habiliment*.— Tlie worthy ladv, mindful of die former romantic frolics of the young man, reasonably entertained some doubts as to the character and merits of the female - whose oa « e he so earnestly pleaded. . She, however, k>* t no twie in sending her son to the spot mentioned, to ascertain, it possible, the real/ state of the matter; and the inter- view which txV: place b etween the messenger and the young woman, hid well nigh proved fatal to bis future peace of mind. He found ht- r, as he expressed it, u the most beautiful creature he had ever beheld," and her language and accompli & e4 manners were such, as at once com inced him that- she Teas a virtuous young woman of . rank and education. She was with all, to use a Scottish jphrase, so " disgeskit" ( dejected) by fatigue and anxiety of m » i& d, that he hastened with the w" rfcorm>' report to his parents. When the gentleman of the house came to inquire into the par- ticulars of the case, he found that the lady ( who was wry young) was a ward ir « Chancery, heir ere to a fortune of .£ 50,000 from her deceased father, and that she had eloped with young Wakefield ( who was not yet of age) from a watering place in the south— we believe Tunbrfrlge Wells. • fie farther ascertained theelopenfcnt had its origin entirely in a love impression ; his young friend had, in- deed, no opportunity previously of knowing v. hat were her high expectations. The - lady's mother, who was her guardian as well as lit'r natural protector, tremblingly alive to the importance of her charhad maintained over her the most rigid surveiliancp ; the more so, as she suspected that an attachment existed, although slid did not. know the character or family of the lover. With the excep- tion of half an hour in the morning the old ladv had her eyas con- stjUitU- upon her daughter ; but as love laughs at guItalians. a « well a* at locksmiths, this short respite of freedom young Wakefield availed himself of, a* d succeeded in making a favourable impression on the- lady's heart. The- mother ha^ iu'r suspicions and her appre- hensions, and to avert the dreaded consequences, hurried her daughter from place to pl. u* e, trusting, full surely, that the stranger would, losing the scent, abandon all farther pursuit, and leave her and her charge in tranquil security to await the addresses of some less uu- sre- rToui suitor. He, however, contrived to di* cover their move- ments, and pursued them from place to place. At length the mo- ther fixed herself and her daughter in lodgings at , and having lost sight of the abject of her dread, began to congratulate herself on her good deliverance. lint how vain are often our most sanguine expectations ! The young man had taken up his quarters directly opposite to the house which contained the object of his affections, but so completely disguised that he was not recognised except by the l. t'r lady he » * self, who, during the accustomed half houiy'witen hr- r guardian's precautions relaxed, give her lover opportunities of im- proving the impression he had made. During a very short sojourn1 at this place, Mr. Wakefield ha 1 the address to gain over all the servants to his interest-; anl one morning when the old lady was ab « ent tor a ^ hort tame, a' chaise and four drove up to the door, followed by a gig. Into the chaise was handed, with great cere- ir. tny, Mr. Wakefield's man servant, and the young lady's maid, both genteelly dressed. And - while this vehicle drove off with the blinds np, by one road, with all possible dispatch, urged bv the ap- parent anxiety of the inmates, Mr. W. leisurely, and without any show of grandeur, handed his fair charge iuto the gig, and drove off in the opposite direction. The old lady was soon apprised that her bird of paradise had lloww : she got horses up to her carriage, and, as might be expected, ( a communication devoutly to be wish-; ed by the lovers) drove on in pursuit of the chaise, in hopes of over- taking the fugitive*. She had not however, hurried far on tl/ e ro id, before some part of her carriage broke down, and tnough the breaking was not attended with any danger, it was found that the vehicle was unfit to proceed ; and here the lady obtained a piece of inimni ition not much calculated to allay the vexation occasioned by this accident, at so critical a moment. On inquiring into the pro- bable cause, of the accident, and taking the servant to task for some supposed neglect, he informed her thai Mr. Wakefield ( who it ap- p> ar4 was anxious that the old lady should not over fatigue lu.- r. self in the chase) " had been doing something to the carriage'the night before," and this'- accounted for the mishap which had occurred. - Meantime the lovers drove on a dubious direction, and were soon beyond the reach of the mother's pursuit. To prevent all trace of their rQUte, Mr. Wake& eld disposed of his gig at a neighbouring place, anil from that time their journey t! • oughout was one of the most romantic and adventurous in the records of hymeneal fugacity. Their funds were but slender when they started, and Mr. Wake- field d ired not to write for a supply to his father, who was not cog- r. i/ ant of the transaction, and might interpose to prevent the match. They had not proceeded far before he found that a price wa# set upon his head ; advertisements and placards were put all over the count, y", giving adeae- ription „ hjs. person as the ab- ducer of an heiress and ward hlr Chwt) ceryi ami offering alurge're- „ ward for his apprehension ; and at every turn they dreaded the ap- pearance of peace- officers, and the interrogatories of all whom they m< ft. It was their first purpose, no doubf, to hasten direct towards GretnaIwt this information induced them, lest they should be discovered, to traVel almost at random, selecting, however, the most unfrequented bye- road^, vettf to^ ns, villages, and handets ; atid they thus traversed the whole country, making an occasional s" retch northward. T} » eir fund^ were scon so h. wr thtst they had no lotiget thj means of riding post, even had a favourable oppor- tunity oeeurryd. Their difficulties increased daily, but their spirits, it appears, bore up against them ; vaud the young lad\-, who, it might he said, had never before been required to place her loot upon tlit ground beyond a short'walk, and had enjoyed the ease and comfort of a carriage, even whert she took an airing, wav nO\ v redisced to the uecessily of walking many a long mile on the public road with her companion.' On some occasions they were on the top of a coach or waggon', and they rested at the most humble houses of entertainment on the way side. In this manner, and partaking of the most common fare, they journed for many hundred mde* together, during a period id litre* weeks, until their dress, their funds, and almost tlulr hopes, were reduced to the lowest e'- h. The unmurmuring perseverance of the young lady afforded ample proof of her attachment to her javehile companion,* who, tlir- re is no doubt, as the sequel will confirm,, treated her with the most aflecrionate attention. It is stated that d^ j- rvgarded each other as brother and sister, and journed in that character—- an idea which was countenanced by their extreme youth, especially that of the lady. After a variety of suffering consequent upon their romantic ad- Vta- tnr » \ and many hair- breadth escapes from detection, they ar- rived at iviinhuriih, as IK* fore stated, where, in total destitniion, , Air. W akefield was necessitated to leave his bride at an obst'ure lo « lging until he besought for her the* relief which her immediate Wants required". The genflemm and his lady to whom Mr. WakefieM addressed himself, on learning these circumstances, hosphrtbly received the young couple r. udtc their roof, advanced rh > n a iufficicnt sum to enable them " fc: appear a= became their. rank in life, and relying upon their impression of the honourable character of Mr. Wake- field, the gentleman, though at his own risk, and in the face of the reward offered, for tlie apprehension of his young friend, instant- ly decided, in order to save the character of the young lady,, to hasten the legal marriage - of the parties. They were accordingly regularly united in wedlock by the eminent, clergyman and pto- fe- sor, who was die worthy successor of the distinguished author of the Lectures on Rhetoric and the Belles Lettres. Mr. Wakcfii- 34' s father was apprised of the match ; and the roott « - of the vomag lady, when slie had learned the state of the case, and the respectability of the party wlwm had beiore so wwj. ch dreaded, not only became reconciled, but successfully exerted herself to induce the Lord Chancellor to withdraw fke anathema which he h id pronounced agaiust the young man. She soon, in- deed, became so partial to Mr. W. fkelield, that, on his being ap- pointed shortly after to a high diplomatic situation at the Court o:' Turin, she accompanied the young couple on the mission. At Turin, they resided some years, . living in the first style of elegance and distinction. There," " or in some part of lt. ily, we believ'e, Mr,.' Wakefield had the, misfortune to lose his wife, who left him the father of two children, for whom he holds in trust the large for- tune of their mother. The latter circumstance, added to the con- sideration of his father's respectable character and station in lite, is sufficient to rebut the charge that Mr. Wakefield is a net^ iy adven- turer. His Edinburgh friends are in possession of numerous let- ters from him and his lady while they were abroad, and which are pregnant with great interest and show that th:' y were higlr. esteem- ed and courted while at Turin. What Mr. Wakefield's movements have been for some years after the death of his Lady, we cannot state. The love of enterprise and adventure seems all along to kave bee* i lj, is ruling passion ; and it appears that w hen on a re- cent visit to his friend, Mr. D ivies, the accounts which he heard of Miss Turner Jired his ambition,, and excited ; in him an attempt to win the prize— the result of which is now before the public.: Mr. Wakefield has, we understand, jn « t turned 30 years- nf age. This statement is given. on the authority of a literary gentleman of high respectabilty, who was a fellow student with Mr. Wake- field, and who shared in some of his boyish" frolics, but has had no p^ vsonal knOWledge of him in after- life. Many of the facts rest, of course, on the testimony of Mr. Wakefield himself at the time but there is no reason to doubt their general correctness. Since we were favoured with the oral account from which we have, trust- ing chiefly to memory, drawn up this sketch, we have heard it stated that the matter bore a more serious aspect, at the time, than thi* relation of an apparently romantic, but real adventure, would seem to imply. But this opinion is best answered by the fact that the lady's mother became reconciled to the match ; that the Lord " Chancellor forbore punishing the delinquent— and above all, that the lady resigned herself into the hands of the young man, and lived happily with him ; and whatever magnitude the recent of- feuce of Mr. Wakefield may assume, it is surely unfair, though we admit that it is natural euoygh in tho* e irritated by his prc- sevt conduct, to permit that conduct to bear with a retrospective view upon a transaction of his earlier lite. 1' he highly respectable persons with whom he was acquainted when a student are loth to believe that, iu the affair now before the public, he has entirely forfeited their regard ; and we sincerely, though we eannot san- guinely, hope with them, that even here circumstances of pallia- tion, at least, may arise in the forthcoming trial. Since the commitment of Mr. E. G. " Wakefield to the castle of Lancaster, a good deal of the high spirits which he enjoyed has left! him, and " he appears rather'melancholy- ' filth ! i: » n ifl- ii( i\ v on his • Xu Infiiu obtained d lucrative clerical . i^ pniuinh- nr. - lus SOCIETY FOR THE PROMOTION OF PERMANENT AND UNIVERSAL PEACE.

The committee have to lament most sincerely the death of that Emperor, to whose memory they wish to pay a tribute of unfeigned respect. 44 The committee do not protend to discover, in the message from the President of the United Stated of America, to the Senate and House of Representatives, a recognition of the Christian pacific principles as held bv the Peace Society ; but they see in it the evi- dence of the influence which genuine Christianity, as it prevails, is sure to obtain over the conduct of governments; by which an appeal to moral justice and equity will . be gradually substituted for the too common appeal to the sword to adjust their differences. The report next refers to the Society's extensive correspondence ; its publications, and new Societies, rising iu connection with tjiem. The committee continue to exchange publications with the So- ciety of Christian Morals at Paris ; they also supply the Editor of the " Revue Eneyelopedique" with your works as they come out; and the latter continues to manifest a disposition to take a favour- able notice of your publications in his work,' which, from tjife ex- tensive circulation of that periodical in France, will not, they hope, be without its effect in that nation aiid on the Continent. One new tract, written by a lady, has been published, entitled, ei An Examination of the Principles which are considered to sup- port the Practice of War,'' which makes No. VIII. of the series. It is a. gratification to your committee to present the public with the literary labours of a female pen, and they hope that the f*- x will be encouraged to occupy their literary talents in guarding the social and domestic virtues from the violation to which they are exposed by the demoralizing and sanguinary practice of war. New editions of your tracts, Isvos. 8, 4, 5, G, aud 7, besides the Ninth Annual Report and Herald of Peace, have been published, making within the year SI, 760, comprising a total of 355,500 that have been printed since the establishment of the society. The sales ami dis- tributions this year have been 29.000. The amount of subscrip- tions, donations, See. received this year is L569, Os lOd. The sketch which the committee has presented, as connected with the tranquillity of the world, of their labours, aud of thdvse of their coadjutors, in promoting the Christian cause of peace, evince, as they think, tfiat there is an increased conviction of the contrariety of war to " the everlasting Gospel," ^ nd to the real interests of | mankind. Ami it is a subject of thankfulness, that this conviction : appears to be gaining ground amongst the ministers of religion ; for ' in- proportion as the gospel message to the heathen is purified from the contaminating influence of the spirit of war, it will succeed in recommending itself to their . acceptance, and in producing in them the mind which was also in Christ Jesu « , * who, when he was re- viled, reviled not again ; when he suffered, he threatened not ; but committed himself to Him that jydgeth righteously.' The Rev. Ingram Cobbin, iu moving the first resolution, said, I was lately amused by reading a fable, the recital of which I think i* not unsuitable to the business of this evening. The writer of the Fable has represented a young angel, as stmt from Heaven, on a visit to this world of ours, and with him an elder angel is sent to; accompany him as his guide; Constantly to remain at his side. lie was taken to the fields of Radstock, aud Dellingliam, just as the opposing armies rushed to the battle— who, when he saw the car- nage, heard the roar of the artillery, the clashing of swords, and the & eble groans of the dying, said to the angel that was his guide, " You blockhead, you were sent to guide me to earth, and you have taken me to hell." " No, no !" replied the older angel, ' ii I; have made no nrstake, for devils never kjS oue another as men do." There is truth in the reply. It is a lamentable fact, that, since the creation of the world, many millions, or nearly hqjf as many as the present population of the globe, have been devoured by the bloody sword of war.. It is not time for Christians to unite together to put an end to this practice ? and this is the favourable* oppor- tunity. Every tiling is favourable. It is the age of philanthropy," aud Christian unity together. We forget our meaner differences, and rally round the cross, and the . standard of this society is, ii the fear oi'God, and the love of the brotherhood." I wish your so- ciety, in addition to the circulation of Peace Tracts,' Would convert all the Ministers. They want converting— their tongues have been so much used to war, that they scarcely know how to pronounce the word peace. It would be desirable to solicit them to write one letter— to solicit them to preach one sermon on the horrors of War. I must confess, that our cla- Vical education is unfavourable to the principle of peace. Now 1 do not wish that these elegant and sub- lime productions of learning and genius, should be banished from our schools ; but I would have none of them go out without suit- able comments, to exhibit the horrors of war in their proper colours, The Rev. Robert Valrghan of Kensington, in seconding the re- solution, said, I know nothing which is so likely to preserve peace amon r the nations of the world,' as the operation of these societies, with which we are connected. Everyman, therefore, who is the friend of his brother, must hail the . establishing and increase of these societies with delight. - They are tit ® instruments of the blessed God, intended to remove the curse of war, aud bless our miserable world with peace. We may go further. What is the history of the world ? Its states have been raised, its relative connections cemented, and its annals written if. biood. The four great monarchies of antiquity, which have, appeared in succession, each of which ascend the throne, on the ruin of his predecessor, and each took possession of it, in the spirit of the god of this world, whose uame is Apollyon, the destroyer. The day of his ascension to the throne was the day of vengeance and Idood. We might prove from ancient i# ct* upon record, that it has ever been the same. The irruption of the northern nations into the southern countries of Europe, filled it with desolation and blood, from one eud of it to the other. The iionqnest of America cost more than a million of lives, and inflicted unheard of tortures upon those that remained, and doomed them to civii and religious tyranny. Nor has the spirit of the world finish- ed its murderous career. It continues to burst asunder ail the tie* . of our common brotherhood, which should , bind man to man, aud jiW& iet . upon each' oth. u-' all tU* of war. Ai; e- & r ever to r, ont,: ri" ipljle wiih ad. ni^ itiou and appl th.- -">••!.- tuv of _\ v.; r, that sharpens the intellect to acquire the skill of murder ? Are we to look upon all the methods employed to form the, body, to bring about the work of destruction ? No ; the period i* fast, approach- ing when this practice* founded in ignorance, and maintained by . t? « ie worst passions of the human heart, shall vanish before the light or rea- on and revelation; and by the gracious influence it will pro- duce on the minds of men, the passtwu for war shall be utterly an- nihilated ; and nothing but what is truth being cherished in the understanding, nothing but what is holy . and merciful will be cherished in the heart. As we woihd not gaiu an advantage in a good c tusc, even when contending with a bad one, by any im- proper4 representation of the persons who may support that cause, should the question be asked, have the persons who support the principle of war been persons indifferent to the? happiness of their species? Are the powers of their minds too weak to reason ? or ( lo their hearts delight in the misery which it has from one age to ano- ther inflicted upon mankind ? We would answer, No: but they have's. uftered themselves to be carried down the stream without ob- servation and without inquiry whither they are borne, or what may be the result to themselves and others. From such men's conduct . we may derive this hint for our own instruct: on, that if ever the nations of the earth are induced to live in permanent peace, it mu- t be brought about by something more powerfnl than the mind of man can impart to man. We leel no hesitation in.. saying, then, we look to nothing but that principle which is founded on the word of God. The Rev. John Pye Smith, D. D. moved, " That a « the principles of this society on the subject of war are derived from Divine Revela- tion, they claim support from every Christian, who may confident- ly anticipate the day when they will universally be adopted."— He said, I am happy that this society, among whom I found it my duty to enrol my name, does not require an absolute declaration, that they conclude war to be. opposite to duty. We may let. ex- treme cases aloue. They are few among human nature arc! life. But I think there is absolute ground to work on th t minds ol'our fellow Christians the sense of the mistaken principles, which hay © proved so injurious to our fellow men. If / disputes arise, they ought not to be settled by brute force. I may overpower my ad- versary by force* but I cannot convince him. Whenever we read of the practice of war, it brings before us such a mass of guilt,, falseh'Vid, . fraud, ami tyranny, in short, almost all those vicious principle5', which can find places in th * mind of * man, aT any given period, that makes it our duty to combat- this, practice. I do admit,, and I inn*;- admit, that he who went to war under the ancient dispensation did no v/ rtmg. But we live under another, and a different dispen^ tion, ia wldch we are not tn Took for miracles, but, tp act upon tlio nature, the genius, and the intentions' of divine: Truth, that forms his mind on the character of the Saviour, and every disciple desires to be conformed to that as the counterpart. The Rev. 3Vir. Mackenzie seconded the motion and said— The gospel is called the Gospel of Beaw ; its author , is the Prince of Peace. The- God of Peace is the Prince of Peace incarnate. And " a man might search from one end . of the New Testament to another, and not find in the whole compass of its instruction, one precept to guide the Christian iu bis war duties. Can any man suppose that when the light of the Gospel is. universal in all nations of men, and its truths deeply felt and cordially a- eceived, that Christian nations' shall not. become Christians in reality ? that it will be possible for this order of things to continue ? Ia fact, so far- as the spirit of war maintains its influence on the soul of any man, . so far is that man opposite to the spirit of the Gospel; vul when we consider tint by war in its'unavoidable results, we interest the immortal destinies of our fellow creatures, curtail the period of their existence, and send them' unprepared to the thr- one of thoir Judge, the unrighteous- ness and cruelty of war appears in a still more horrible shape. With resjH.- ct. fco the taking away of life, the adage is just, and the con- sideration weighty—" Take not the life thou cau'st not give." • That war horribly itu'iltipiies vice and its attendant misery, is not denied ; and it is admitted, that coming from the lust of the flesh, it affords one of the strongest proofs of the depravity of human na- ture. I am fully persuaded that the meek and peaceful principles of Christianity would have long since banished this monster of wrath' and cruelty from the world, were it not for the passions which war in the bosoms of its professors. The Rev. Thopias Harper, Secretary to tlie* Congregational Board of London* moved the next Resolution, 44 That: this Society acknowledges its gratitude to the. Supreme Ruler of the universe for the blessing of peace that prevails throughout the greater part of Europe aud America ; and rejoices iu the prospect that is afforded of its continuance, by the recent explicit and open avowal of pa- cific and liberal views made by ' the Governments of Great Britain and the United States of North America." Several other members delivered their sentiments, after which- the meeting broke up.— Wednesday Times.

The following is an extract from a private letter ; — Bear Lake, Sept. G, 1S25. DEAR SIR— I gladly embrace the opportunity of Captain Frank- lin's dispatch to make you acquainted, agreeably to your desire, w ith our progress in this country. I arrived here on The 1 Ot'n of last month, and in a few days afterwards proceeded with a boat and crew to coast the northern shores, of this tike* for the pur- pose of ascertaining the rhoit proper place for depositing a boat or canoe, to shorten the land journey of my small party next season, should it be so fortunate as to reach the Coppermine by sea from Mackenzie's River. After an absence of nearly three weeks, 1 have cursorily surveyed the north- west, north, and north- east parts of the lake, which runs beyond the 67th degree of north latitude, and abounds in deep bays and arms, one of which, most happliy for us, runs to longitude 119. 04. W. in lat. 53.. within 70 miles of the nearest bend of the Coppeimine River, and not above 85 miles from the junction of that stream with the Arctic Sea. Bear Lake is above 150 miles long, in a straight line ; our present residence, which is at its south- western extremity, being in la- titude 65. 10. and long. 1* 23. 33. W. so that a land journey round its bays, & c. would exceed 200 miles, which will be saved to the! party by a canoe bcli^ g deposited at its eastern extremity next sum- mer. I have not obtained any certain information respecting the sea to the westward of the Coppermine River, none sf the hunters, who are accustomed to go several days' march to the^ orth of this Take, having either seen it* or the Esquimaux which inhabit its shores. From this circumstance I am rather inclined to suppose, that there- is a Cape jutting out pretty far to tfie north, between* the Mackenzie , and Coppermine Rivers. If such a Cape exists, and is the land, seen by Captain Parry to the southward of Melville Island, or ap- proaches near to it, it may, by producing accumulations oi ice, in- terpose a serious obstacle to Parry's ships, should they attempt the passage to the southward of Melville Island ; but 1 do not appre- hend that we shaii l> e prevented from proceeding along the coast in a boat if we are at all favoured by the weather, and the chaunels which usually occur between the more fixed ice and the shore. In- deed, I am more'than ever convinced that there is, iu some seasons at least,, if not every year, a passage for drift timber, as the poplar, wood which he found on the fimner voyage must have come from Mackenzie's River, there beinj^ fto trees of that kind to the north- ward of Bear Lake, nor on the Kiks of any river that flows into the Arctic Sea to the eastward. '^ Lt Indians that have visited the sea at the mouth of Maekenzie's^ PPer report that there is open water in some years only to the eastward, although it is clear of ice every summer to the westward. Their intelligence, however, is to be taken with some allowance, as they do not always visit the coast at the most favourable time' for^ iur purpose, the beginning of A ugust; and Captain Franklin's prosperous voyage of this season has given us the cheering intelligence of perfectly open water both ways on the 16th of August. Captain Franklin's " observations make the distance between the rivers, in a direct line, only 150 miles • and! trust that, by the close of nest season, my communications will be much more satis- factory thau the conjectures with which Phave at present troubled . you. - The northern shores of B » ar Lake are covered with spruce fir trees of tolerable size, aud frequented at all times by moose deer, and rnusk oxen, and at this season of the year by large herds of rein deer, now migrating from the sea coast. The banks of Mac- kenzie's River, and the portions of the rocky mountains which we skirted, present the different rock formations in their fisual order,* and with many interesting features, from the transition limestone down to the new red . sandstone, covering the independent coal measures. Boar Lake River makes a beautiful section of the last mentioned formation, and the rocks exposed abound in those petri- factions of'extinct species of trees, and impressions of terns and other vegetables, so interesting to geologists ; but I have not yet met with the coal itself belonging indisputably to that part of the series, although there are extensive beds of wood- coal and layers of bitumen in various parts of the river, and on Garry's Island, at its mouth, from whence Caprain Franklin brought fine specimens. This wood- coal, I suspect, is a newer deposit, and occurs only ac- cidentally upon the sandstone of the coal measures of this neighbour- hood, never inclosed in it. It is, however, in sufficient abundance for the purposes of the arts, should they ever make their way to this remote country. I remain, deafr Sir, with much gratitude for the kind and friend- ly interest you have taken iu my welfare, vour very obedient ser- vant, JOHN RICHARDSON. JWistt\ lmxmi$ Xclusu THE JEWS. The Ephemerides Geoyraphiques of Weimar contains the follow- ing notice concerning this remarkable people : — " We find the Jt- wi- h- nation scattered over all part* of the world. No where do they form an independent p « t> ple, and in no country, indeed, have they a fixed residence, if we except some villages in Russia and Arabia, where they live in distinct communities. The number of the Jews i, s not decreased much since the time of David i . SMO Solomon, Their popi- laiioj was then four millions; at the Total S. J ( 56603 . There ore no longer any Jews in Spain and Portugal ; there never have been any in Norway ; Sweden < iid not admit them till lately; in the Austrian States they enjoy some rights ; in F. ugland, although they participate in ail the rights of viissenlXfs, rhey have never prospered ; in Russia they are. toler. it - d, but utWer strict surveillance. Lastly, in the States of the German Confederacy, iri France, in the ' Netherlands, in Prussia, the . h- ws enjoy all the rights of citizens, without, however, being eligible to places of public trust. " This last disibiUty ( observes the J} ibUuth* qu<> Allemmde* from which we quote) does not exist in France, since, according to the fundamental law of the state, all Freiichmen are admissible alike to civil and military employments. In thn United . Sutea of America they are elected to offices of trust $ and Mi\ Nualv, n Jew, was Sheriff of New York last year.

IMPOSITION ON EMIGRANTS A case of considerable interest was heard before the magistrates, at the police office, Liver- pool, on Tuesday.— Oliver Beckett and James Beckett, of No. 63, Strand Street, were brought up for examination, basing been ar- rested under a warrant obtained upon the depositions of Michael Kennedy, Charles Irvin, and Hugh Kirkpatrick, and charged with obtaining, money under false pretences. It appears, from the evi- dence, that the deponents, with their families, came from Liver- pool, for the purpose of embarking for America. They were met by some of the many emissaries of the Becketts, who constantly pa- trole the street and dock- quays fur. this purpose, and were taken to the office in Strand Street, where, bv false representation, near'. y thirty pounds were obtajn.' d from these poor men, under the pretence of giving them a passage in the Plutarch, a vessel bound to New York, The vessel sailed on Tuesday the 30th May, having a great many passengers on board, and* the deponents, with their families, among the rest. When the captain examined the passengers by his muster- roll, lie discovered there were from SO to 4 0 persons On board besides those whose flames were entered, and, of course, told them they must go on shore. They showed him the written engage-, mcnts which Beckett had given, and on which are marked the! numbers of the births they Were to have occupied. The captain re- plied he would not take them in the ship ; and that Beckett was " a d— d rascal." These deponents, with their families, consisting of; females and infant children, were compelled to gois - o an open boat, at two o'clock in the morning, anil return to Liverpool ( with such of their, luggage and stores as they couid procure and stow in the boat) from the Floating. Light, about If) miles beyond the Rock Point. The defendants were committed for trial. GENERAL ELECTION. City Election, 7th and hist da, y— Friday, June 10. . This being the day which was to decide this h ; rd and contested election, the interest excited was so great, that at an early hour Guildhall was much more crowded than it had been on any previous day of the election, and the nearer the hour approached, when the successful candidates were to be declared, the greater were the num- bers assembled. The galleries were crowded with the female friends of the candidates, and other ladies, and some of them even ventured on the hustings. At. half- past three tlie numbers were declared : — Thompson, .... 04 83 , , Waiihmau, 534^ Ward, ™ . 4< M) I Wood, 4880 Lord Mayor, I j 14 Mr. Alderman Thompson addressed the meeting, but not & word i could we catch, for the satisfaction of his friends, being expressed in such continued bursts of applause, that before silence was ob- tained, the worthy candidate had concluded his speech. Mr. Alderman Waithnun thanked the Liverymen for their honourable exertions, by which he had triumphed. Ii was not the triumph of the individual, but the triumph of principle. It. was the more astonishing as they had to combat against a prejudice which had been raised against him and Mr. Wood on account of the Catholic question. They had shown that whatever a man's trade might be, provided he possessed honour and integrity ; they were: able to chuse him for their representative, fur God had given the same abilities to shopkeepers as to others. They had taken his ad- vice, and had brought up their friends to the poll, and thus had obtained one of the greatest victories that ever was achieved at a city election. Mr. Ward rose, but was unable to obtain a hearing. Mr. Alderman Wood said, though he stood not so high on the poll as lie had done oh the two former elect, ions, yet he was the better pleased with himself, lie had to struggle against a feeling which had been raised tp his prejudice, on account oi the Catho- lic question, lie was as much attached to the Protestant Constitu- tion as any one present, but, he was the friend of religious liberty. Neither Mr. Thompson nor Mr. Ward would give pledges that they would not vote for Catholic emancipation. If they did, theyw* mld not deserve to be their representatives; for a time might come when the interest and safety of the country might require conces sions to the Catholics. The worthy Alderman then read some extracts from a speech of Mr. Pitt on the Catholic question, and, after thanking the Livery for their support, retired from the hustings. The Lord Mayor said, though he was unsuccessful, yet he was thankful to those w ho had supported him, and believed there never was an instance oi a eainUdate losing his election with so large a number of vofcis. A cry of popery had h « en raited against him, and many ha.

She made tier dtyvt with great : iMieees9, at the Londuli Opera House in June, list year, in tlie part of Rosin.!, in t'he'Bar- hiere di Siviglia. In New York she has appeared in the same character, in RosaH. i, in the Ainante Astuto, and in Tancredi in the piece of the same name, wfaiclr, perhaps, of all Rossini's serious operas, has been the mosi- deservedly popular. Signorum Garcia's voice is a low soprano ; its range is not very extensive, bet the qua- lity of her tone is exq- uisit ely sweet. Her low notes particularly are full and mellow, and distinctly audible in the chornsses, or when accompanied by the full orchestra. Nature has done much for this lady, hut she has been fortunate in having for a master cue who is himself among the most accomplished singers of the age, > ' id tlie advantage has not'been thrown away, upon her. Native t , ste and sensibility to the highest musical expression are apparent In every passage she executes, and we cannot help fancying, that, 11ad her situation in early life been very different, she would have discovered tlie^ e qualities in a- high degree. No one who had the ( roc.* fir'. ne to hear her p- rformance of the simple and- touching Kir from the ( trfeo of Oluek, Che faro shiza il inio Rene, at the concert of tlie New York Philharmonic Society in December last, would hesitate in allowing, that . site understood perfectly the mean-, iag of the music, and that she succeeded entirely in conveying the full pathos of the air to the audience. Signoriua Garcia promises, too to lie 1 uglily disting- uixhed, aa an actress. Jn the part of Ilosina, lier arch and playful manner is precisely what the character I"'- fjuires, and no otie, v.' e-- think, could hnprove upon her style of Acting when she delivers Figtiro the letter for the Count, which he was urging hej; to write, but . wfiich she had previously prepared ; or the scene where she removes tiie doubts of her guardian, which her having written the letter gave occasion, to. If any evidence were- wanting to prove the higli reputation . this lady has acquired in England, we think the following fact furnishes It. At the York Musical Festival, which took place the la't. sum- mer, the aggregate amount paid the. principal, vocal perforrsers was .£ 2100. Of this amount, MadanTe Caradori received .£ 262 10s. ; Braham Jhe same sum; Miss Stephen* .£ 214); and Mademoiselle t.' ur-'; t ,£ 33ft. This was within three months after she had made li- r first appearance in the Opera H.' ii- e'. Ma- lame Barbiere, who made lier tl ' inif in New York, in toe part of Amenaide, was educated at the Conservatoire in Paris, and it is not remarkable, therefore, that her style of singing has some- thing in it of French manner. Her success thus far has been brilliant, and to say that she has succeeded, when the comparison wis so necessary with Sigriurina Garcia, is to give her high praise.. Garcia, junior, has fine: natural powers,' but he has much to learn of the management of the voice, and there is obviously op- portunity for improvement In. liis whole deporf. nvent and manner no The st. igC. We'nmiersfand that this gentleman, as well as Madame Barbiere, made his first appearance on the stage in this Mttmtrv. Angrisani, the principal bass voice, deserves a longer notice than our limits allow us to give him. His name is familiar to ( hose who are iiiterested enough, in dramatic music, to look over the regular notices of the performances at the opera- houses in the European cities. His fine voice and his thorough kuowledge of music rendef this performer's services eminently effective, and we v. ish those who think that the excellence of a bass singer is pro- portional to tlyg volume of sound. he utters, could have an oppor- tunity of heaving his mellow and smooth tones, which no accom- paniment or chorus can render inaudible, and which may be listened tu when tliere is no accompaniment, without pain. The other members of this corps are worthy associates of the eminent profes- ears we have spoken of, and sustain the subordinate parts of the . reveral pieces, which have been performed witli more than ordinary * pirit and capacity. • We will not close these remarks without expressing the hope that tuir city may enjoy tlte rich musical treat, which is now affording so much pleasure to the amateurs of New York, before the return of the corps to Europe ; and we trust, that an orchestra will be collected from the profession in this city, which will properly sup- port the- company, and thus remove the imputation which has been thrown upon, us, of not possessing taste and talent enough to autho- rize Garcia to visit Boston for the purpose of performing a few operas. We hope that private diflerehces and professional- rivalry • may not interfere with an object so desirable to the musical part of 7 community. VTk- su Pbilipps visited the United States a few years since, lie received with greater enthusiasm, and probably left the coun- try with more solkl proofs of our'admiration, than any performer vsbo ever before came arming us. Shall it be said, that an operatic corps-, any one of whom would lie injured by a- comparison with Rhilipps, could not venture to visit Boston, after having crossed the Atlantic to gratify the American public? We liave heard'from authority on which we could rely, that so ' waaguine were Garcia's expectations of success in this country, that it was his intention to establish himself here the rest of his life.— If ( Bcli wvte i « s purpose, we sincerely hope he may not be diverted from it by the coldness or insensibility of the lovers of music in this section di the country. jSutaral Children in France The number of natural children increases mot e rapidly in proportion than the population, as was late- ly remarked by M. < le Beaumont from the tribune. It is considerable, MIT is very different in different department* : but it must be r.- ntrkof, that the tegfctMToT UlgrWfcoifWW'a' n « K5ei of natural children, which do nut properly belting to them. In Paris, in 18: 24, there were boru 10,221 natural'children ; but women come to Paris to lay in from a distance of fifty or sixty leagues all rouud ; anil new torn" infants are brought there and received by the hospitals, without, ' their parents or their parishes being known ; and they must be in- wrted in the registers for the civil state, agreeably to the 58th article of the Code. 1: 1 the following list'llie departments arc classed ac- cording to the number of illegitimate births iu them, in 1000 births, for the years 1822 and 1823: " Ain, 17 J Vendee, 2- 1Yienne, 21; - IUe- et- Vilaiae, 25 ; Ar- deche, 25; Morbihan, 27; Corse/ 31; Cotes- du- Nord, 31; Haute Loire, 84-; Gard, 35; Loire,' 35 ; Puy- de- Dome, 88; Mniitere, 38; Tarn, 38; Deux Sevres, 38 ; Ltmere, 32 ; Cher, 39; Nievre, 41; Auhe, 41; Charente Infcrieure, 42;- Dor- dogne, 45; Charente, 46; Olse, 47; Jura, 47; Haute Marne, 49 ; Ilante Vienne, 50; Aveyron, 52 f Correse, 52 ; - Seine- el- Mane, 52; Heralilt, 58.; Tarn- et- G'aronne, 52 ; Arriege, 52 Oriif, 53; Meuse^ 53; Basses Alpes,' 53; Saomvet- Loire, 54; lndre, 51; Yonne, 56'; Mayenne, 56; Lot- et- Garoiuie, 57; l. oir Inferieure ; 57 ; Ardennes, 57 ; Hautes Alpes, 4- 3 ; Eure- et- Imt, 58 ; Maine- et- Loire, 58 ; Ande, 58 ; Lot, 60 ; Bas- Khin, fil ; Moselle, 61 ; Doubs, 62 ; Cantal, 63 ; Aisne, 63 ; Ilaute- Garonne, 64; Manche, C5 ; Yaucluse, 65 ; Seine- et- Oise, 66 ; Drome, 07; Vosges, 69 ; Haut- Hhin, 68 ; Var, 70 ; Cote- d'Or. 71 ; Creuse, 73 ; Loir- et- Cher, 71; Marne, 76 ; Isere, 76; Somme, 78 ; Gers, 79 ; Indre- et- Loire, 79 ; Sarthe, 83 ; Eure, Ho; Meurthe, 86; Bouches- du- Uhone, 89; Basses- Pyrenees, 90; Landes, 91 ; Pa^ de- Caki*, 91 ; Allier, 94; Nord, 96; llautes- Pyrenees, 99; Loiret, 99; Haute- Saone, 100; Pyrenees- Orien- taies, 102; Gironde. 109? &- iue- Infcrieurej 113; Calvados, J16; Rhone, 143; Seine, 326."

General EWtiwi.— W. KH an Englishman is first present at a Slave Vendue in the United States, lie is a good deal shocked at the Ipeetack of Negroes pacing backwards and forwards, eagerly shew- ing themselves off to the grc- atest advantage, and displaying the ut- moai satisfaction at every fresh bidding. To see men so low in the male of humanity, that they do not appear even to be sensible that Slavery is a degradation, aud take a delight in going through the preliminaries to a transfer, which denotes, that they are disposed of in the humiliating nUnoer of cattW-' ut a fair, naturally fills the na- tive of Europe with gloomy ideas. But so much are we the slaves of usage, that we cease to be affected by many things at home alma equally degrading in their way with what shocks us so much abroad merely because we are not accustomed to them. Let us take neral Election for instance. How many Englishmen are there who Hke even a pride in the most degrading circumstances with which a General Election is attended, as indicative of the absence of in dependence— we mean the excesses ® and dissipation which . prevail In rvery contested place. A free people would, of course, choose the Representatives win), in point of talents, activity, and honesty teemed to them thehest fitted for a place jn the national Council and, so far from expecting these Representatives should put them- selves to any expencc, would even assign , a remuneration for their performance uf a purely puttie duty. But an Englishman is proud of the axpencte to which his Representative is put, aud considers the effervescence prjiuced by gin and beer, as indicative of the genuine spirit of liberty. He is considered the most public spirited individual i(! a town, who can contrive . to induce a new Candidate to start, not with the view of being returned, but of putting the Candidates who will be returned, to a heavy expenee. He who pays this, heavy ex- pense i* necessarily the master, not the servant of the peopje— he has bought them with Ills money, and can we wonder that he should sell them ? If there were no other proof of the servitude of the iieople of Englaitd, a reflecting man who looked on a General Elec- tion would be satisfied with tiiis. The effervescence is the drunken gaiety of the slave, who has received his drink- money from a new purchaser. , But SO completely have Our minds been corrupted by toe degrad- ing practices to which our masters have accustomed us, that not merely the ordinary run of writers look on these practices with complacency, hut sensible travellers, who declare themselves parti- ions of freedom, speak" in terms of reprobation of the feature in the relations between the l'eiiple aud their Representatives in other » Countries, which peculiarly denotes, that the Representation it really tree. Thus, for instance, in- a volume of Travels just published, entitled, " Lion Hunting," the author, in describing the Legislature fcf the Netherlands, observes— The Lower House consist* only af one hundred nnd ten Mem- bers, of whom half are elected by the Northern, and the other hy vl. e Southern Stat,-., - The extent and popuUiiwii of each Stale re- t'liLte the number of Member* which ea-.- ti Is entitled to nominate.. One degrading feature in the eha • - ter of the Assembly, arises from the circumstance of each of its Member* receiving 5,400 francs of salary from the Government." This is the language which ninety- nine Englishmen out of every hundred would hold. It would be degrading to pay their Repiv- sentative, hut it is not degrading to make that Representative piv for his situation £ 0,000/. ! Is it degrading to pay a Judge, or any other officer who devotes himself to the public? What would be thought of a Judge paving for his situation instead of receiving pay i Would Pot. the inference be, that the Judge who paid for his situa- tion, would contrive to indemnify himself in some way cr other— either in meal or malt ? And does not the Representative who buys his situation,' indemnify himself either by giving his vote for the promotion of his own - particular interest, or by neglecting the peo- ple? Is it not notorious that Members of Parliament, with one or two exceptions, consider their attendance as entirely optional with themselves? That they do not consider themselves in the light of servants having a definite duty to discharge, and accountable to their Constituents for the manner in which they discharge it ? Would Deputies, paid by the people for their attendance, dare to give as much or as little of their time to the public business as they ' thought fit? Oh lio. But these slavish notions come of the situation in which the people is placed. What remains of independence in the country is tainted by the wide- sprea'iing servility which surrounds it. It is easy to blame the people for these things, but they will be found to. fiinv neeessaiily from the political state of the country The people feel that they have not a sufficient influence in Elections to determine tlie nature of. the Representation, hut they feel also that they are instruments to a certain extent in the process by which the Representation- is effected. They cannot prevent the public from being the prey of the interested, and, therefore, like the peasant, who, on seeing his stores of food fast disappearing un- der the hearty, attacks of a foraging- party, joined their mess that he might not lose all. Where they have an opportunity, they seem to think it not unreasonable that they should avail themselves of the only chance of getting back a little of their own Mom. Chron.

Major Cariwright lie never rose later than six, either winter or summer, and frequently got up much sooner, and lighted his own fire. At eight, a cup of coffee or chocolate was brought him, and at twelve he breakfasted. The rest of the day, except during his occasional walk, which ho took without any regard to weather, he was employed in writirig or conversing with those who called on him ; and as lie rim r denied himself to any person, it may be " easily believed that'lie had numerous visits. Though on some oc- • casionsthis unguardedness was productive of inconvenience, it en abled him to be of essential service to jnany distressed and deserving individuals. Nor were his exertions limited to. any party ; for where lie could benefit or oblige a fellow- creature, no difference in his opinion could even for a moment repel the impulse of his gracious nature. Neither he nor his medical advisers ever anticipated his living to so advanced an age, and he was wont to relate, with much humour, an anecdote of an apothecary, who, on feeling his pulse, told him with an ominous shake of the head., that " the vital prin- iple was very feeble in his frame." He lived however long enough to prove the fallacy of this and many other prognostics of a like nature ; and when on his death- bed, he mpre than once expressed is surprise, " that at 84 years of age he should still have so much strength left, and should find it so hard to die."— Life of Major Cartwright.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE AMERICA. American papers, which have been received to the 21st ultimo, tate, upon tire authority of letters dated Monte Video, February the force of the Patriot's in the Banda Oriental to be 7000 men, nd that of the Buenos Ayreans, 8000, making in all a - army of 10,000. The writer appears to entertain little doubt of the final success of the revolutionists. Bolivar had arrived at Lima from the Upper Country, and had summoned the Congress of Peru to assemble on the 20th of April. Rodil wis on board an English frigate. The fire at Old Custom House of Vera Cruz is mentioned in these papers. A considerable part of the merchandize lodged in it was saved. The building was entirely consumed. The estimated loss is a half million to six hundred thousand dollars. These papers con- tain very recent intelligence frOm Mexico; they are rather gloomy, on account oLthe effects of the failure of the contractor ( Coldschmidt) in London. The Mexican papers attribute the final refusal of that Giovitfrwmcnty in tw^ xtrg^- axt u-; tordirtTrryf AlTtbassatTor fo EnglaTid to arrange the treaty, to the peremptory interference of the Senate. stated the American Minister suggested the propriety of insis- ting upon " free ships making free goods" in the English Treaty, wh eh was the chief impediment to the arrangement.

Gittitiniulu.— It appears from the Mexican papers that a slight commotion, of a counter- revolutionary character, had Occurred on the29th of January, in one of the provinces of the Republic of Central America. A Spaniard named Jose Zamora, who had been exiled from Columbia, in consequence of his having been engaged in machinations against the Government of that State, contrived to organize a petty insurrection in favour of Ferdinand, in Costarica. Oil fhe 29tli of January he made an attack on the city of Alajuela, where he was repulsed by the garrison. Four of his band were killed, and a considerable number wounded a*.. d taken. The rebels were completely dispersed, but their leader escaped. He was, how- ever, arrested; on the 6th of February, and executed. The most remarkable circumstance connected with this aft'iir, was the fact dis- closed by Zamora before he suffered death, that he was one of S' 2 persons expressly commissioned by Ferdinand to endeavour to coun- ter- revolutionize South America. He held a Colonel's commission, and appears to have beea very active. A priest and some others, who had entered into his plans, have been arrested,- and are to be imprisoned until Ferdinand acknowledges the independence of Central America. GREECE.

These mystics, well manned and med, did not perceive their error, as the prisoners state, till they were within two miles of the English sloop ; they then took to flight, the Alacrity pursued them, but as tlie wind was yery faint, thi Captain put out his long boat, under the command of Mr. Triscott, his First. Lieutenant, who chased the pirates thirteen miles. The latter, being forced to ruu their vessel aground on the Mole of Ip- sara, took a position among the ruins of the town, whepce they commenced a brisk fire of musquetry 011 the English vessel. Lieut. Triscott didodgeil them from their position, where they left their wounded. These two mystics carried long guns of a large callihre, and were Immediately burnt. " On the following day, the English vessel was chased near Andros, by two other large mystics, better armed than even tin others. The same mano- juvre was executed ; the pirates threw themselves on the coast, and posted themselves in a tower, which protected their vessels. But the Alacrity having approached kept up a constant cannonade, which covered the landing of Lieut. Triseott, anil enabled him to carry the little- fort at the point of the bayonet. The pirates, to the number of sixty, took flight. These mystics were each armed with two . heavy guns; they were burnt like the preceding. In those two aftairs, the AWi'ity had three men severely wounded. Mr. Wheatley, the Second Lieutenant, was very dangerously burnt. The Greeks had 40 killed, and 70 taken prisoners ; the latter are all wounded. Commodore Hamilton, com- manding the English naval force in the Mediterranean, in his order of the day, gives the greatest praise to Lieutenant Triscott." S P A IN. The state of Spain has not for this some time much occupied the attention of the English public. Private letters which we have re- ceived, added to the few particulars which the foreign papers supply, give us a most gloomy picture of the internal state of that country. We are of course prepared to hear of discontents, arising from tlie same sources which produced the abortive attempt at democratic government three or four years ago ; bnt it is a new feature in the political history of Spain to find a party ultra rcryalisi beyond the l oyalism of the Court ; and yet we perceive that the Carlists, whom we imagined only a trifling body, of 110 more weight tiian die Se- bastianists of Portugal, or the Johanna Southcotians of England, of so much importance as to occasion the most serious movements in Madrid. The principles of this party are to proclaim lion Carlos, from whom they derive their name, as the King of Spain, instead of Kino- Ferdinand Vlfc Vlio !•< accused of two much liberality, free- masonry, & e. Poor King Ferdinand is little suspected of liberal- ism by any hod. but the Carlists; hut so different are the ideas of r. EVF. HAT. AVEHAGB PRICES OP CORV.

WINDSOR, June 10.— Both yesterday and this day, his Majesty has. taken an airing of upwards of three hours' duration," in the great Park. Mis Majesty leaves the Royal Lodge in his. pony phaeton, at a little before three o'clock, and continues driving a! x> uir until • after six. The beautiful lake of Virginia Water, situate a short distance from the Royal Lodge, is a favourite retreat of his Majesty, and aflords him, during the summer season, considerable amusement. The Royal boats are got in readiness, and the King is soon expected to commence his excursions on the water. Yesterday forenoon, his Majesty's visitors consisting of Prince and Princess ISsterhaz'v, Duke of Dorset, Earl Countess and Lady G. Bathursfc, Earl of Lauder- dale, Earl of Egremont, Earl and Countess Carlisle, Lord Graves* . nd the Hon. Mr. and Lady Ager Ellis, took their departure from the Royal Lodge. We feel much pleasure in announcing to our readers, that the answers, this morning; to the inquiries respecting the health of his Royal Highness the Duke of York, were extremely Satisfactory. The reports which are in circulatioh upon this subject, we are ferppy to add, have been much exaggerated.— Courier. It appears by the foreign journals that the younger daughter of the King and Qufeen of Denmark is to be imirki in marriage with lier jtaiusior the youRgvPiisee - Fwjrierick In^ tStii year, son of Prince Christian, on whom the crown will devolve on the death of iiis present Majesty, in consequence of the King not having male issue. The Princess is almost of the same age as the Prince, and a mutual attachment having been formed between them, they have been solemnly betrothed to eatn other at Court with great splendour. The young Prince is to proceed immediately to Geneva, to complete his education. At the North and South American Coffeehouse on Thursday morning, files of the Colonial Times of Hobart Town, were re- ceived to the 14th January. The inhabitants of that settlement were then celebrating their " harvest home," which sounds rather oddly to an English ear, so much accustomed to hear - of frost and snow storms at that period. The proclamation o£. the- governor, General Darling, announces the colonial independence of the is- land of Van Dieman's Land ; it is now separated from the Govern- ment of New South Wales, and a Legislative and an Executive Council have been appointed. It was certainly time that laws should be enforced, as we, find the colony: in a dreadful state. The most violent party spirit reigns among the colonists ( two bags of official statements, on subjects of " higlj^ political questions," are now transmitted to the Colonial Office in England) and the island kept in terror by the most daring bands of bushrangers. The most for- midable appears to be undsr the direction of the outlaw Brady. Those robbers have frequently threaded the capital of the'island. They took possession of Sorreil Town, captured the guard, and liberated the prisoners confined in tlie jail. The fa rafters houses appear to be frequently occupied by the banditti for several day*?, where they muster in strong parties, feast and revel, put at de- fiance the military force, and when they are tired of plundering, they retire to their farms in the mountains, where, according to report, they possess large flocks of sheep, cattle, & c. Ry this conveyance, we have accounts from Sydney, New South Wales, to the end of December. The colony was glutted with tea ; it was selling at L. 3 and L. 4 per chest. LIVERPOOL, June 15.— Mr. Iluskisson, by invitation from the directors of the City of Dublin Steam . Packet Company, took an aquatic excursion on board their fine vessel the Britannia, this morning, attended by about 300 gentlemen, whom they had in- vited to the gratification of accompanying him, and this noble vessel was. appropriated exclusively for that purpose, fitted up with every convenience for the occasion, and the company provided In the most sumptuous manner with refreshments of the choicest kind, attended by bands of music, which, with cheering, and the demonstrations of attachment shown to the distinguished visitor, produced in our noble river an effect not to be described. Mr. Randolph was on board, which would give him an opportunity of witnessing E% lish feelings towards a much attached and distin- guished representative in their Parliament, and the freedom » f our institutions, by a Minister of the Crown associating with his con- stituents. ' A shocking and fatal accident occurred at Newton near Manches- ter, on Thursday. Robert Johnson and George Hyde, and a son of the latter; were employed in whitewashing and repairing the in- terior of a house.- inhabited by one Chad wick, a shawl weaver.— They finished » the lower rooms, when, in removing a bed, the boy found a pistol, " Let me look at it," said Johnson ; so the boy gave it to him. " It is not loaded," he observed. " Oh no," said the boy. Whereupon he touched the trigger, i t flashed— weufc off— and old Hyde groaned, aud fell upon the bed. lie said, *• Oh, Robert, I thought it had something in it," and immediately expired. Verdict — Accidental deaths ' , ' PHILADELPHIA, May 20.— The eccentric John Randolph, of Roanoke, goes iu the ship by which I now write to Liverpool.— He has astonished this country by his most extraordinary speeches in Congress, which he now leaves at the close of a stormy session. I think that you will hazard nothing by predicting that Mr. Adam's reign, like that of his time- serving father, will not con- tinue longer than four years, though he does all he can to conoUiaie his opponents, of which you m^ y a strong instance ia'the ap- pointment of that Jesuit, Gallatin, as a Minister to London. DREADFUL THUNDER STORM. The city and neighbourhood of Exeter were the scene of a tre- mendous tempest on Saturday last. At the village of Alpington, near Exeter, a thunder bolt struck the tower of the church, which was unprovided with a conductor, while four men and a boy, who had just been ringing a merry peal in honour of the election, were standing within the portal of the church, l » encal; h the tower. They were all prostrated to the earth; the boy, named John Coles, hav ing an iron hammer in his hand, was killed on the spot, ; one of the men was hurled manv yards into the church It is remark- et) RN EXCHANGE, June 19.

Donald Mtclend, piper to Mr..* Leslie ofDenlugas, also gave great satisfaction for su- perior and correct execution, and a neat simplicity nf Highland dress. John Macdonald, from Fortingall, a young boy, was much and justly applauded bv all present. After the competitors had played their several pi'ibrnchs, which are always their own choice of a certain number, the Judges having retired to decidethe prizes, an interlude'of Highland reels to the music of the bagpipe and orchestra alternately followed, much* to the ^ tisfaction of the audience.

IT is impossible to contemplate the institutions of England, imperfect and grotesque as in many respects tliev are, without a certain decree of veneration— for, such as thev are, they have placet! this country at the head of European civilisation, and have served as the IMSIS and model, on which tiie more perfectsvstems of the New World have been constructed. Tile day is not distant, indeed, when this will be the proudest boast of England— that while the New World shall be iu the full enjoyment of those innumerable advantages, which How froiu the thorough development of the Uc- jiresentative Principle—- it was from / « r that the invalu- able gift was derived. - Where thai principle exists in full operation, it ne- cessarily brings with it all oilier social advantages.— Where its operation is partial and theoretical, as with us, soc al improvement is necessarily limited, and civilization can never get beyond a respectable mcdiocrity. Nav, an imperfect and partial representation may consist with a verv low degree of civilization— and in fact, the super! oritv of England is derived, not from its representative institutions solely, or even chiefly, but from the com bincd operation of these and other checks oo its oligarchic Government, such as Trial by Jury and Freedom of the Press, the possession of which is, in one sense, fortuitous, and certainly would not result necessarily from so imperfect a developement of the Representative Principle as exists in this country. Convinced, therefore, that in the present state of the Elective Franchise, the Executive will have no dif- ficulty in procuring, in the next Parliament, its usual standing majority, we feel but little interest in the par- liamentary elections. One thing is certain, that what- ever may be the advantages derived front the partial in- fluence of the representative principle in our legislature, thev arc in soifie measure counterbalanced, by the evil arising from the manner in which the right of election is exercised. Nothing, we think, can be more degrading and barbarous, Ihatt those scenes of confusion, riot, drunkenness, and occasional bloodshed, that disgrace the popular elections of England. N'o doubt, the principal evil of these exhibitions is, that they tend to being the principle of representation itself into disrepute— as if it were so ordered, that the primary and most important of all political privileges, necessarily involves! in its ex- ercise, those degrading and demoralizing accompani- ments. We have only, however, to cast our eves across the Atlantic to escape from this discouraging concln. sion. In the American confederacy, and particularly In the northern pints of it, where the suffrage is most f- xtemlert, { being ' in Ijtcjt universal, or nearly So^ jul public proceedings are conducted with more qiiief il) id dteorum than I lie elections. For this, there are more reasons than oae— tn the first place, instead of the w hole electors of a cotintv being polled iu one place, they are polled, we believe, in the townships, ( or parishes) and bv this obvious improvement, one great source of tttmtilt is- at once removed. Where the vote is by ballot, a stranger is only aware of the election from the squibs in the public prints, and probably never has Ills attention attracted to the passing citizen,, quietly depositing his ticket in the ballot box. Where, it is viva vot e, the electors generally, we believe, assemble in the largest church. of. the township or parish, and are there polled with alithedrcoruin suitable to such a place of meet- ing. and forming a lit contrast to the noise and buffoonery of the English hustings. There are, no doubt, how- ever, o! her causes which contribute to this result, and which must be traced to differences in ths character and institutions of the two countries. In the American republic, there scarcely exists a class that properly « > UH'S under the denomination of rubble or peasantry ; . none altogether uneducated or indigent ; and the tna- itqriajs for riot are therefore less numerous. And it is • tke ' uumtelik effect of a thorough Representative Go- vernment, to destroy the spirit of party. Where, as sikh u s, , i he tin jit rfect nature of the Government places it i,* t « pjiosittofl to the governed ; where the contest is betwern Hie oligajieiiie monopolists of potver on the one hand, and die people on the other, it is naturally carried on with a hi. Meraess and hostility, quite unknown MI a Got'wtijiwit Attonatlglilv representative. In those £ t « { eg of ( lis American oonledei'sry to which '*'*.

Extract of a Letter from a Gentleman in Hamburgh, IStfi June, 182G. " Our crops of Clover, in the interior of Germany, from the very long continuance of dry weather, will be very bad, aud we can expect but scanty supplies in consequence. The price of the article, since this information was received, has advanced 15 to 20 per cent, above last year's prices. As the last'accounts fram England are more favourable, trade here has become rather brisker, and we sincerely trust that the worst, is no w over. At Keith Market last week, the supply of all kinds of cattle w?„ s considerable ; and sales were effected in some cases j but at prices which will leave very little, if any thing, to the Hv « iej,\ A great many ' fine beasts left the market unsold i the aauth country dealers expecting a greater reduction than the, holders were disused to sub- mit t'e. • • . * t... - Trinity Muir market commenced o> n, v ^ edi^ esda^, ajjd jvas, as usual, attended hy a great numher of OQUntry depiers. The show of sheep was middling, the demand., limited,. a » d the prices low. Hogs brought from 9s. to 13s. ; and w edde^ a, according to quality, from 15s. to SOs^ 6d. The number of hjftck cattle on Thursday - was considerably untler that of last v; ea « ; pjid, natwitU- standing the comparatively smfdl supply, a proportion remain- ed unsold. The prices, of tat were lower than, " f the late fairs ; but, taking injU) account the present state of public a flairs, the market was fylly as go< sl as. expected by: south, country buyers. Cattle froiwth © ao^ jth were a stiff sale, and a. deal of money lost by the drovers*. In the afternoon,, there were sevesal inquiries for good horses, and a few were sold at high prices. At Eongforgan market, which wa* held, o^ Wednesday last, sales, were uncominonly dull. There was. a pretty , good number ol' fat cattle and beasts, lor the grass brought forward, but very few of them met. with purchasers. The very . long time qf hard drought which has prevailed in that quarter, in consequence of which the' grass crop has suffered much, has also operated considerably agaiwst the sale of cattle for the pasture. •••',• EVll)!;. xl. it,;; Aud An. j, \ wir, EervvUt ; aii. l.
