Its great value is acknowledged by the Sickly, the Nervous, and the Debilitated ; to thousands of whom it is daily affording comfort aud aid unknown before, ami relief which no other medicine can supply.

SA1LOPIAM JOUBKAiLj AWI> HOUSE or COMMONS- WEDNESDAY. COLONIAL SLAVERY. Mr. HUSKISSON, in reply to questions from Mr. Brougham, stated that iu those'colonies.. which had n" local legislatures, some of the propositions adept- d under the sanction of Parliauu nt had been carried into effect';- and in those having legisJatures, as near an approximation Mad been made to the atlaiiimeut- ol the chjeets in view us the fears and" prejudices of the par ies would allow. {! was gre. itiv to he regretted that the resolutions of that house could not be cameo into effect as speedily as was desirable. Whatever change was to be eft'ected, he hoped would be eil'ecled gradually, safely., and steadii> — Ihat they would udvauee tow arils- their object with that repaid for the interests and property of the colonials which justice demanded, and with a fair - and reasonable regard to the - circumstances of those who were unfortunate enough to have properly in human beings, lie was happy to say that . considerable progrfss had already been made towards the admission of slave- evidence. Me assured the house that. every in lorMint ion upon this and all other Subjects connect* d with the Colonics would be most c hie CM fully laid upon the table, and. it was iu as full accordance with the- duty sis with the fnclinatioti of his Majesty's Government to carry into the fullest efleet the resolutions of Pari lament. Lord JOHN RUSSELL fixed Tuesday instead of Mim- day for the second reading of the Test and Corporation Acts Repeal Bill.—- The same Noble Lord moved for a Si* led Committee to inquire rnto the causes of- the in. crease of Crime in England and Wales, which was agreed to, and the Committee appointed. .

Mr. LAW LEY supported the prayer of the petition ; and Mr. LITTLETON presented a similar one from the Magistrates of'Staffordshire. — Referred . to the Coin mitiee for Inquiry into the Increase of Crime, now silling. On the motion of Sir H. PARNBLL, a copy of the Treaty of Limerick was ordered to he laid on the tabic. HOUSE OF LORDS- FRIDAY. A number of petitions were as usual. presented against the Test and Corporation Acts. A conversa- tion afterwards arose between several Noble Lords relative to the proceedings of the Catholic Associ. ation, in the coui. se of which the Earl of RODEN expressed his hope that Ministers would interfere to put it dow ii HOUSE OF COMMONS- FRIDAY. After some conversation on various subjects, the Bouse airsiin went into Committee on the East Ret- ford Disfranchisement Bill. During the proceedings, a witness named Leadbetter was committed to New- gate for gross and wilful falsehood.

LONDON— SATCJR D A Y. The French papers which have been some days delayed by strong contrary winds, have at length arrived, and with important news. They announce that proceedings will be taken without delay to carry into full effect the treaty for establishing- the independence of Greece. The Gazette de France of yesterday's date states, that an expedition of ten thousand French iuf. uitry and one Regiment of cavalry is to proceed with all dispatch, for the Morea. Six thousand of these troops are to sail from Toulon, and four thousand from Cadiz, and they are to be reinforced by six thousand English troops from Lisbon and other places. The French are to be commanded by the Duke of Ragusa and General Loverda, besides two Major- Generals. The immediate port of destination is not mentioned, but it is supposed that, in the first instance, the troops will rendezvous at Napoli di Romania, the seat of the Greek Government,, or at some other moj- e convenient place. A force ot' this kind employed in Greece itself, • while the Russians threaten and divert the attention of the Turks to the northern frontier, will be able at © nee. to liberate and organise the country which is the special object of the attention of the Allies. Whether the warlike operations will be confined to Greece w ill depend in some measure on the acts of the Porte itself; but il is not likely, if the Allies persevere in their wish to avoid war, that the Turks v, ill be able to force it by any attempt at the invasion of Greece. T he French journals announce a further change in the administration, which has given great satisfaction to the liberal party, By this new change all the friends and adherents of the late minister, M. Villele, are excluded from the govern- ment. The King's health, we are happy to state, is so much improved, that ou arriving the other night at St. James's Palace, fr* m Windsor, bis AJaj « sty si lighted from bis carriage, and, without any assist- ance, walked with apparent ease into the Palace.— English Chronicle.

CORPORATION AND TEST ACTS.—. Sir Harcourt Lets having been consulted as to his opinion respect, ing the policy of repealing the Statutes of the 13th and 25' b of Charles II. has declared most decidedly against their FJTTUK ABROGATION— as being sub- versive of the spirit and tendency of the Reformation, Revolution, and Union Settlements. But we learn thai Sir Harcourt strongly urges the equity, as well as wisdom, of uniting all classes and sects of Protestant CH N ISTIA, NS,' (: I' < L at this period particularly,) BY SUBSTITUTING FOR THE SACRAMENTAL TEST, AN OATH ON THE PART OF EACH DISSENTING APPLICANT, TO SUPPORT THE ESTABLISHED CHURCH. He thinks this w; ill as once relieve the Protestant Dissenters, and tend materially to strengthen the Church, without, in the least degree, offending Ihe conscience of the most scrupulous Religbnisl. Sit Harcourt retains the Acts of Allegu ance, See See. as they are at present enjoined ; and then will dispense with the Bill of Indemnity.

AT OLD PARK & M A LIN S LEE the morning commenced by firing of cannon, and ringing of the. bells at the churches of Malinslee and Stirchley.— Four very prime fat oxen having been provided by Messrs. Bot field, the work- people employed in their extensive collieries and iron- works at Old IV rk and Slit chlcy ( being upwards of two thousand) were served with a bumper of strong ale each, and then paraded round MaUu'slee Lawn, attended by two bancs of music, and several flags with appropriate inscriptions; after which they were regaled with a plentiful dinner and a bountiful supply of excellent strong ale, and they enjoyed themselves till a late hour with the greatest order and decorum. The children of the several Sunday schools paraded before the work- people, and were i^ Iso- treated with a good dinner of roast beef and ale, and afterwards with plum cake and wine.— The scene was truly gratifying, more' especially as all the people seemed to enjoy themselves much, and to fsel truly grateful to their benefactors.

They state, that Ibrahim Pacha remained inactive in the . Morea, and that all military operations were suspended. The affairs of the new American Republic* are at present in an unsatisfactory state. Every fresh ar. rival brings more and more disastrous accounts. Mexico, the richest, the most populous, and hitherto the niost prosper ous of the new States, appears now in a situation of considerable difficulty and even danger. T o financial embarrassment has succeeded political disorganization. Private letters received iu town on Saturday, brought information of the arrcat of General Bravo, with several of his follow- ers— un Occurrence of the more importance ( if authenticated) from the high character of this Ge- neral, who, iu conjunction with Victoria, the present President, w as mainly instrumental iu overthrow ing the tyranny of Iturbide, and establishing the in- dependence. The President and General Bravo unfortunately belong to different parties or factions of free- masons, whose quarrels and intrigues at present distract the nation The situation of the other Republics is equally unpleasing to contemplate. In Guatemala a civil war is actually waging, the Slate of St. Salvador being in arms against the Government. From Colombia the last advices are decidedly unfavourable— the coast being m- naecd with an invasion front Laborde, the Spanish Admiral, and the capital in alann for the health of the only man competent to guide the tottering fortunes of his country, and preserve her freedom and tranquillity. In Chili and Pci u we fear very little progress has been marie in good government— partial revolutions occur almost periodically— Presidents are made and unmade with equal case and expedition, and trade and commerce are forgotten.. Of the Argen- tine Republic, we know little more than that it is Waging an expensive and protracted war with its neighbour. In addition to these troubles, we find all these Republics, wilh finances at piesent inadequate to their own wants and exigencies, labouring under WAJLES. MARRIED.

At Aylesbury Assizes, Robert Saunders was indicted for a burglary iu the house of the Rev. Thomas Jones, at liadtmge, near High YVyeotnbe, and stealing thereout money, jewellery, and plate. The prisoner forced his way with three others, all masked, through the bed- room window of the prosecutor, who is sc- venty- seven years of a^ e, and effected the robbery. Susannah Payne, a maid servant, who slept iu the adjoining room to her master and mistress, bearing the thieves, Inlted her door, dropped from the window, ran fo the coachman's house, about t AO hundred yards distant, and gave the alarm. The Judge said to this spirited female, " Your conduct was most praiseworthy, and the means, in till probability, of saving the lives of your master and mistress. You. are a host ai; jinit a gang of housebreakers, and have set a good example to the rest , of your sex."—- The prisoner received sentence of death, without any hopes of mercy. DISTRESSING AND KA^ AL ACCIDENT.— We la: ment to st. ite, that an accident occurred ou Tuesday night in the! neighbourhood of Pet- shore, which proved fatal to Mr. Stokes, of Riuntley Court, Gloucestershire.— Sir. S. was on his way from his own house to Pershore; he was within a mile and a half of the latter pla e, ( near Tiddesley Wood,) when his gig came iu violent contact with another, coming from Pershore, in which was Mr. Fletcher, of Hill Croome. Both tjentlemen were immediately thrown out, and Mr. Stokes pitching upon his head, death immediately ensued ! Mr. Fletcher was severely bruised, but managed to get to a neigh- bour ing turnpike- house, from which a person was dispatched to Pershore. Medical aid was procured with all possible dispatch, but in Mr. Stokes's ease it was unavailing; Mr. Fletcher was conveyed to Pershore, where, we are sorry to sa_ « , he now lies iu a doubtful state; it is feared he has several ribs broken. At the Inquest, it appeared that Mr. Stokes, was o: t his return from bredon's Norton, to Worcester, when shortly alter leaving the former place, the horse became refractory, and backing into a ditch, broke the bar of the gig. This circumstance and the lateness of the hour bad determined Mr. Stokes to remain during the night at Eckington ; but unfortunately, on reaching that village, the: want of accommodation at the otily public- house iit the place compelled him to proceed, having first tied the bar together with a strong cord. The horse, at starting, again shewed vicioiisness, and there is little doubt that he soon became uncontrolable, and ran away, the dreadful result of which is above stated. Mr. S. was deprived of life by an extensive fracture at the base of the skull.— A verdict of Accidental Death was, of course, returned. Mr. Stokes was iu his 52d year, and a wife and eight children, together with a wide circle of highly respectable relatives and connexions, are left to deplore bis untimely end. Amongst other business transacted by Mr. Stokes, at Bredou's Norton, was the sale of a small cottage to one of Ilia tenants; and it is somewhat remarkable, that, on the latter obser ving th< it there was no need ot the transuctioii between them being committed to writing, Mr. Stokes answered that he should draw up an instriu ment for their mutual signatures, as who could tell but they might each be a corpse before morning ! On the morning of Thursday se'imiuht, a canal boat belonging to Mr. Milton, of Pershore, was being navigated down the Avon, heavily laden with coals, when, on approaching the Wear, near the town, the strength of the current was such, that she became unmanageable, began to fill, and got into the middle of the stream. Richard Care, the Captain of the boat, seeing the danger, with great presence of mind, hastened to his wife, who was at the bow of the vessel, thrust her overboard into shallow water, and she reached the bank in safety. He then went to his daughter, about 15 years of age, who was in the cabin, but before he could get her out, the water rushed iii upon them, and the boat went down and engulphed them both. There was also. another man on board, who, at the risk of his own life, made the most praiseworthy efforts to save the unfortunate beings, and in which he was assisted by several persons oh shore, hut unhappily to no avail. The body of Care was found shortly after, but that of his daughter has not been recovered. Mr. Conway, the tragedian, who went from this country to America a few years since, threw himself ( 24th January) into the. sea whilst on his voyagefrota New York to Charleston, and was drowned, not- withstanding every effort made to save him. Mr. C. about a year ago relinquished the stage, and was about to be ordained to the Ministry iu one of the religious bodies of the United States. LATE ACCIDENT AT MANCHESTER.— Inquests were held on Saturday at Manchester, on the bodies of the thirty eight individuals, who perished in the dreadful catastrophe which occurred in that town on the previous day. It was thought at first that the loss of lite was even more extensive than stated ; but although it has been said that several persons are still missing, the belief is, that no more bodies remain in the river. From the evidence before the Coroner, it would appear that the accident arose from the people on board crowding more to one side of the boat than the other, and the Jury finally returned a verdict— that the unfortunate persons were accidentally drowned at the launching- of the vessel.

THE OXFORD CIRCUIT— Commenced at Reading, on Friday week, before Mr. Justice Park and Mr. Baron Vaughan ; there were 51 prisoners for trial; but the most material was that o t Ci cor go Edmunds, Samuel White, George Baker, II. Burnett, William Waiter, Thomas Field, Thomas Hunt, and Samuel Cope, indicted for shooting, and cruelly beating, James Mancey, gamekeeper to Mr. Crutchley, ot Sunning- hill. They left him almost lifeless on tha ground; and then attacked Mr. Crutcbley's bailirf, a man named Glasscock, breaking a gun over his head, which was laid completely open, and then robbing him of his boots, handkerchief, & c. Only three of the prisoners could be identified, viz. White, Burnett, and Field ; and therefore recourse was had to Turner, an accomplice, to identify the remaining five ; but the Jury did not believe him, and returned verdicts of Guilty against White, Burnett, and Field only. D iron Vaughan imme- diately passed sentence of death on the wretched men, holding out not the slightest hope of mercy. The miserable convicts fell on their knees in the dock, whilst sentence was passing upon them. Their more fortunate companions were discharged ; and, in order to evince their gratitude for an escape from the jaws of death, most of them got drunk ut night ! On Tuesday, their Lordships proceeded for Oxford, where there were 5G prisoners in the calendar -, of whom, Thomas 3hjylury lOr stealing a pocket- book containing £ 63, and a purse with silver, from Amos Smith, at Bampton, was con- demned and left for execution on the 24th instant. The prisoner married the niece of the prosecutor's wife, and was in his service, it appears that the marks of Shaylors shoes were tra ed to a sheep fold, whence was taken a stake. With this weapon Smith was struck violently on the head; the force of the blow stunned him. When he came to himself, he found his pocket- book was gone, and the prisoner was in the aet of taking out his purse. Prisoner afterwards tried to take his watch, but Smith prevented him. Shaylor then again took up the stake and struck at Smith, who endeavoured to ward olf the blow with his arm hi cons q lence of which a small bone of his hand - was broken. Smith swore positively to the identity of the prisoner. The pocket book and money were found ou his pre- mises, and on all points the evidence against him was particularly clear.— Against six others sentence of deatli was recorded; two were sentenced to be transported for life, three for fourteen, and five for seven years ; eleven were ordered to be imprisoned for various periods, and the remainder were acquitted or discharged. The Commission w; as opened at Worcester" oti Saturday. The calendar contained the naiu^ s of 26 prisoners. We have heard that so terrible is the calendar of eiimcs upon one of the Irish Circuits, that a difficulty has been found to prevail upon a Judge, King's Counsel, or Sergeant, to accept of the commission. IN one town upon this Circuit ( it were obviously improper to pai ticularise at present) forty persons stand commuted as principals in one murder. The task of pronouncing judgment upon *, uch a number in the event of a conviction, is indeed one which must try the strongest nerves. sasasamy^ r^ a^ tf .:. 2: v^ fr- f-' ft'-' i SALOPIAN JOURNAL.

THE LATE JANISSARIES. [ From the London Weekly Review.] making their way through the burning^ ruins, they Were immediately surrounded by the Sultan's party, and poignarded on the spot. The other barracks, which are not far distant, were next attacked; and, with the exception of a few who had the good fortune to reach the Asiatic shore, or take refuge in the forest of Belgrade, the whole corps of the Janissaries was exterminated in one day and a night. To the Editor of the Sulopiun Journal. SIR,— It frequently but not necessarily happens, that we profit and improve upon one part of our frame and constitution at the expense of another; and this not only in things moral, civil, and political, but also in natural, economical, and artificial works and operations. Without minutely entering into the vast field this general statement opens to the most common capacity, I shall but for a moment solicit your attention to the present practice of supplying materials for the public roads from the beds of the liver Severn ( rather than from the neighbouring; rock- stone, & c.), which I am bold to say is— First,, extraordinarily expensive; secondly, that it is detrimental to the river; and, thirdly, that it is particularly injurious to the Fishery. And as to the first head, viz. " That it is extra- ordinarily expensive." This will be abundantly obvious, when it is considered that rock- stone is about three times as hard as river pebbles, and if one load of the former will wear out three of the latter, it must be extraordinarily unprofitable and expensive. 2. " That it is particularly detrimental to the river." in the work and economy of Nature, pebbles, gravel, and sand, are to a river as the high roads and pavement of the streets are to a city ; nor is it easy to make a more fit and apt comparison. A river, then, will suffer as much without the one, as a city will without the other. 3. " That it is particularly injurious to the Fish." It is a well known and confirmed fact, that fish resort to currents and fords, especially hi the spring and summer months, both to spawn, for food, pleasure, and protection, as much as citizens to the well- stored garners and streets of a well- regulated and defended city : aud that the food is brought to them by the current stream, and bred and deposited in many various and wonderful modes and forms among the stones, whereby they are naturally bar- ricadoed and protected, each according to his kind and state. To rifle and destroy the bed of a river, then, must surely be injurious to the fish. To restore this beautiful portion of Nature to its pris- tine order and fertility ( independent of Mr. Whit- more's Bill, whatever it may produce,) 1 would strongly recommend the appointment of a Conserv- ator, who might also have the paths and banks of the river ( which are now so notoriously dilapidated) under his cognizance and controul. There are three things, which are highly preju- dicial to a Fishery. The use of illegal nets: the wasting of the beds of a river : and the breaking- in upon the fence months: and these become perma- nent where the Magistracy is supine. I remain, Sir, Your ve. ry obedient Servant, March 8th, 1828. TESTIS. TURKISH WARFARE. The use of the sabre is founded partly on the quality of the weapon itself, and partly on their what may be termed national dexterity in handling it. The Turkish sabre, wbieh is wrought out of fine iron wire, in th? hand of one of our powerful labourers, would perhaps break to pieces like glass at the first blow. The Turk, on the contrary, who gives rather a cut than a blow, makes it penetrate through helmet, cuirass, & c. and separates in a moment the head or the limbs from the body. Hence we seldom he. ar of slight wounds in an action of cavalry with Turks. It is a well- known fact in the Russian army, that a Colonel, who was in front of his regiment, seeing the Spall is make an unex- pected attack upon him, drew his sabre, and was going to command his men to do the same, when, at the first word drau\ his head was severed tVom his body. The highly tempered Turkish sabres will fetch a price of from ten to a hundred ducats, even when they are not of fine metal. But as Scauderbeg said, such a sabre only produces it « effect when in the hand of him who knows how to use it. It is related, that at the storming of Isniael, a brave foreigner, who served as a volunteer in the Russian army, and who was most actively engaged in the melee, broke in pieces several Turkish sabres, and constantly armed himself with a fresh one taken from the Turks who were slain. The sub- stance from which these valuable sabres are wrought is called taban, and they are proved to be genuine when they admit of being written upon with a ducat or any other piece of fine gold. Every Turk, when properly armed, carries with him, besides his musket, at least one pair of pistols, a sabre, and a long and somewhat curved dagger or knife, ( the inward curve having the sharp edge,) called a kinschal, which he uses principally in cut- ting off heads. This weapon, which is about two feet lone-, is not unlike the Roman sh rt sword; and at the brilliant era of the Ottomans, it may have been proved not less formidable in the relee than was the latter, with which the legions subdued the world. Hence it is very evident that, in scaling a rampart, the European soldier, with his musket and fixed bayonet, is placed under great disadvan- tage against an enemy so well armed both for attarlr and defence. With regard to the art of fortification among the Turks, little can be said in its praise. They have no idea of a regular system either of bastions or of lines, of outworks and covered ways, nor of conforming the height of the works to the nature of the ground in front. In other respects, as a proof of their utter ignorance of the art of war, we need only advert to their sending cavalry where infantry alone can be of service; for instance, into a wood in their front, as the grand vizier did at Shumla, where they even fired upon it with their pistols. Their infantry is only an accessory, and serves to receive their cavalry upon its falling- back, after having made a charge. At Shumla, the janissaries would certainly liot have moved out of the camp, if the thickness of the bushes, among which it was quite impossible that cavalry could act, had not rendered their doing so a matter of necessity. What is said by an expe- rienced officer, who was for a long time employed against the Turks, of their attacks, and tit' the com- position of their army, seems to be well founded :— 4 Foremost in the fight come the brave and the infu- riated, who, without any reflection, rush upon the enemy ; then follow the prudent, who first see how the affair is likely to turn out; and lastly, the rabble, who do nothing but plunder the dead, and cut off heads after a - victory— but who, in case of a defeat, are the first to take flight.' • * * The manner in which theTurks carry on their operations, in conformity with their cautious system, is as fol- lows: they select upon the road, along w hich they wish to advance, an advantageous post, and entrench themselves; then they call in reinforcements and wait to be attacked. If they are ndt attacked, they advance, again, after a lapse of time, to another favourable post, which they never fail to entrench, even though they should only occupy it for one night. But they remain for days, and even weeks, in deliberation whether to advance further. . If, however, time is allowed them, they are sure to approach so near, and place themselves in such a There were, until very lately, four bodies of in- fantry in the Turkish empire: X. the Janissaries; 2. the Jebedgis ; 3. Topehis, or Cannoniers; and 4. theTop- Arabadgis. The Janissaries were establish- ed by Or khan, in 1330, instead of the Yayas. The Turkmans proving insubordinate, and unfit to serve in the infantry, Orkhan formed his new troops with the Christian prisoners; and a venerable dervish, Hajji- Bektash, consecrated the corps, by placing his white sleeve on the heads of its officers, pronouncing numberless benedictions on them, and promising them the favour of heaven. At the same time he bestowed upon the young soldiers the name of Yenicheri, new troops," which we have meta- morphosed into Jauissaries.— The Janissaries, on their part, chose the holy Dervish for their patron* and assumed the name of Bektaschis; and the col- leges of Dervishes founded by the same man enrolled themselves in the corps of the Janissaries, of which they formed the 99th Orta, or Company. At first, with the exception of these dervishes, none but Christians were admitted into the corps.— Mohammed II. completed its organization; but his regulations were afterwards somewhat modified by the great Solyman. It consisted of 229 Ortas, or Companies; of which 79 remained in garrison in the capital, while the remainder were dispersed through the various provinces of the empire. The whole corps consisted of four divisions, the first of which contained 101 Ortas, until, in 1623, Murad IV. abolished one of them for the crime of one of its members. The 2d division contained 61 Ortas; the third 34 Ortas; aud the fourth the same number.— The last division always remained at Constantinople, even in time of war. When complete, each Orta contained 500 men aud was commanded by eight officers. The superior officers of the whole corps were 18 in number. The troops amounted, there- fore, to 114,500 men, and were commanded by 1840 officers. But they no longer exist, and we shall now describe a few of the tremendous circumstances which accompanied their extinction as a military body. " The excesses committed by the Janissaries, ( observes an eye- witness of their destruction,) de- termined the present Sultan, on his accession to the Throne, to rid himself of this degenerate body, which, sooner or later, would have undoubtedly caused the ruin of the empire. He clearly foresaw the consequences of his project; death if he should fail, but in case of success, the most complete tri- umph; and in 1826, he struck the decisive blow, and was fortunate. For eighteen years this politic and cruel prince had been dwelling in his mind on this masterstroke, as may be inferred from his col- lecting, after the murder of Wustapha, the arms and cartouch- boxes of the Nizam Jedid ( new troops), which he caused to be carefully preserved in the armoury of the Seraglio; where, three months be- fore the great massacre, fifty thousand muskets from Liege were also deposited unknown to the public." Tacitus observes, that when we desire au opinion to take root in the public mind, we must be careful to sow it ourselves. Mahmoud, who certainly did not borrow the hint from the Roman historian, caused it to be circulated, at the proper moment, that he was projecting the reform of the army, and the introduction of European regulations. And while every body was doubting whether to believe the report or not, " the prince threw off the mask at onoe, made known his imperial will, commenced the new organization in the capital, and dispatched innumerable couriers to all parts of the empire, with orders to the several Pashas to begin immedi- ately the formation of new regiments." When the European residents at Constantinople saw that the decisive step was taken, they ex- pected that an insurrection of the Janissaries, and tremendous civil convulsions, would follow; and they were not disappointed. " On the 15th of June, at two o'clock in the morning, the report was spread. at Pera that the military kettles ( the signals I of insurrection or war) were transported to the Atmeidan, and that the Janissaries demanded the heads of the five Great Officers aud Dignitaries of the empire.— They rushed to the palace of their own commander, with intent to murder him, and not finding the proper victim, abused his wives aud children. From this they proceeded to other enormities, and as they ran through the terrified streets of Constantinople, there were heard on all sides cries of Death to Sultan IVlahmoud ! Long live his son Achmet? Down with the New Troops! Long live the children of Hajji Bektash! ( the Janissaries) At this moment the Sultan was absent at his country residence; but on hearing of the insurrec- tion he hastened back with his chief officers to his Seraglio at Constantinople, fearing lest the Janis- saries should seize upon hi* treasury, and certain commanding batteries, in which case they would infallibly succeed in their design. The seditious soldiers, confiding in their own numbers, and the terror they doubted not they should create in the sovereign, took no prudent measures to secure success, but contented themselves with committing all manner of excesses. The Sultan, whom these crimes were intended to . terrify, was not moved for a moment from pursuing his original design:— " These Janissaries, he said, shall all be out off, or the plough shall pass over the ruins of Constanti- nople." The Janissaries, on learning the imperial will, were rendered desperate, and in token of civil war turned their camp- kettles upside down; while, on the other hand, the sacred standard of Mohammed was borne out of the Seraglio, and the Mufti, or chief priest, pronounced the outlawry of the rebel troops. The streets of Constantinople now rung with the cry of-—" Let every Mussulman, who is faithful to his religion, take up arms, aud repair beneath the sacred standard to the mosque of Sultan Achmet!" The muezzins, with loud so- norous voices, proclaimed the decree from the minarets of the city; aud every Mussulman obeyed, and the whole of the people moved in tumultuous masses towards the Hippodrome. The populace from the Asiatic side of the Bosphorus, also thronged towards the same spot: and this vast multitude, preceded by ei^ ht or ten thousand cannoniers, rushed towards the place where the Janissaries were encamped, as it were, and in a moment com- menced the charge. Though surprised and some- what confounded by this sudden attack, the Janis- saries defended themselves gallantly, and, with the aid of a few pieces of cannon, loaded with case shot, rendered the combat for some time doubtful; but observing the assailants were every moment increasing, and fearing to be entirely surrounded, they retreated, and took refuge in an immense barrack, where they hoped to be able to defend themselves. The Pasha arriving at the gate of the barrack, and finding it closed, brought two pieces of cannon to bear upon it, and shattered it to pieces.— But at the same moment six pieces were fired from the interior upon the assailants, while a tremendous shower of musquetry was poured upon them from the windows. It was at this moment that Mahmoud who sat at ease in his Seraglio while the work of death was proceeding, commanded the Pasha to set fire to the Barrack, and was instantaneously obeyed. And now a scene of horror, such as romance writers attempt in vain to imagine or describe, took place. The Janissaries, intent upon defending themselves from their enemies, and bearded like lions in their den, paid no attention to the conflagration— a thing which they had been accustomed to create for sport— but bent all their efforts to repel the Pasha. The flames, however, mingled with thick clouds of smoke, and emitting an intolerable heat, every moment gained ground, and burning beams and red- hot bricks or stones fell thundering on all sides, and drove the Janis- saries down into the great court of the building. This new asylum vvasas fatal to them as the first; for here they were again unrelentingly massacred by cannon loaded with case- shot, and placed at every door- way leading into the court. It was in vain that they invited the cannouiers to join tjie standard of rebellion; it was in vain that they ad dressed them by the name. of friends, companions; the only reply accorded them by the cannoniers, was death. It was in vain also, that they demanded pardon, and begged for their lives: no mercy was shown to them, and they all perished, either by the cannun or devouring flames. If a few succeeded in IRELAND One Hundred and f ifty Years ago. The second division of The Clarendon Papers contains the correspondence of Henry, Earl of Claren don, from March, 1684- 5, to January, 7, nearly the whole of which period he held the high situation of chief governor of Ireland. The private instructions by Lord Guilford to his friend Clarendon, on setting out, afford a striking view of the country, aud the causes of the disaffection which prevailed then as now. We extract a few paragraphs. i% Ireland is a kingdom subordinate to England in so absolute a manner, that the king in his parliament of England may make laws that shall he binding in Ireland. This doctrine is so hard of digestion to Irishmen, that they will not with any patience hear of ii, but it is necessary to he known by their governois, whose prudence will contain them from speaking of it without necessity, and likewise from acitng any thing against it. * * .* * " In Edward the First's time, the statute called Westminster the Second, which was made in the thirteenth year of his reign, speaks of the king's publishing statutes at Gloucester, per que populus suns Anglicanus et H / bernicus, sub suo tegimir< e gubernaius, celeriorein. justitiam quam prius in suis oppress io nib us consecutus est[; which is a demonstra- tion that statutes for Ireland were made in the parliaments of England. u Ireland being thus in subjection, not only to the king but to the crown of England, it is natural and necessary to believe that the Irish will have an aversion to the English and their government ; and if ever they have it in their power, they will shake it off. This aversion is the stronger, because by the late revo- lutions many of the Irish lost their estates; and thought it hard measure, that upon the king's return their claims were rejected, where they pretended innocency, ( which was done for reason of state,) because the difficulty of making proof after, twenty years, and the generality of the case, some of them that may be supposed really innocent of the first rebellion, being sequestered by the usurpers; aud others that were in that rebellion, but merited after- wards by their service to the king, were in the same condition with the worst of the rebels, and involved in the generality of those claims that could not be heard. This aversion will incline them to opposition and difference with the English in all things, aud especially in religion, which has heeri always found the best pretence to make a change in the state, To encounter these, two grounds should be laid and steadily observed— 1. To encourage the English people. 2tl. To encourage the English religion; that is, the church of England. The practice of the former is easy and plain, by encouraging the English people to transport themselves. It will be a matter of great difficulty to steer a right course it) the latter ; because the numbers of Presbyterians, as well as Catholics, are so very great, so that it is necessary for a governor to consider well how to avoid occasions of general discontent of either side, and to make his progress by such degrees as may not produce dis- order, but prove effectual. * * " He that governs Ireland will have a zeal for the church of England, when he considers he is a servant to the crown, and of what importance the king's supremacy is to the support of it; arwl what conse- quences the denying of it produces. 1. The Papists say the pope is above the king in ecclesiastical causes, ( and what they are, the pope will dcteimine,} aud the king may, for good cause, l> e excommunicated by the pope : the consequence whereof is, that none of his subjects may minister unto him, or keep him com. patiy. This opinion wan very popular in England in the ohi times, when the anti- court party had no other refuge; and by this they created all the troubles to the crown. This is not u bare notion, but was always put in practice when sedition was grown to that height that the popes could do it to the purpose; they did it in King John's time in England, and in Henry the Third's time in France. 2. The Papists deny the king's power of pardoning ecclesiastical offences, which cuts oft' a main dependance upon the crown. But the people must be imprisoned by the king when they are excommunicate, aud cannot be released by him until they shall be absolved by the ecclesiastical courts; which power ( considering how large the jurisdiction is) will be intolerable, unless where the king is so powerful that the pope is afraid of him. 3. The pope exempts his clergy from tem- poral jurisdiction. The abuse of this claim was in- sufferable in England; and when laws were made to restrain it, the popish clergy disputed and preached against those laws, as void and against the law of God, and that atl that put them in execution ought to he excommunicate. 4. The popish clergy, claim ing a power of declaring what is contrary to the law of God, without any subordination to the king, claim a power to declare the king's laws void, for all men admit that human constitutions must yield to the divine law : all these are const quences of denying the king's supremacy. No man that considers, tjien, but must hold the crown so maimed by them, that the king cannot be esteemed sovereign without the supremacy in ecclesiastical affuiis. And,.. consjeering the avarice i> f Home, and the greater ii. fiuen. ee that France and Spain will have over that see, that prince must be re< koned very weak that will give any ground to a jurisdiction so entirely and happily shaken off'." witness having refused to reveal the required facts, was ordered to be committed to Newgate. The chair- man having reported progress, obtained leave to sit again next dav. MOUSE OF LORDS- TUESDAY. Lord KING presented a petition from the Irish papists against the Sub- letting Act, which, however, he said be considered a good bill. He had another petition to present from the same persons, but deferred presenting it until Moudav, when he expected that some of the Irish prelates would be present. HOUSE OF COMMONS— TUESDAY. Mr. WILMOT- HOBTON brought forward the subject of emigration, urging the usual topics in favour of that measure, such as the surplus population of Ireland, & c. & t\ and the facility afforded of settling in our North American Colonies. Mr. W. BARING proposed that the crown lands Canada should be given up to emigrants,— Mr. J. GRAT- TAfir thought that the great evil in Ireland was the high price of grain. He was against emigration.— Colonel DA. VIES hoped that no new taxes were to be put on to support Mr. Morton's projects.—- Sir F. BURDETT and Mr. & LAN BY thought it as much an English as an Iris! question. — Mr. LESTER declared that emigration was statistical suicide. He thought that if the impediments thrown in the way of agricultural improvement were removed, the population would be fully provided for.— Mr. JOHN SMITH highly approved of Mr. Wilmot Hor- ton's plans. He thought that the great desideratum of Ireland was English capital, which never would flow into that country until Catholic Emancipation was granted, for until then the population would not be in a quiescent state. After a few words from Mr. HUSKTSSON and two or three other Members, the motion for laying Col. Cock- burn's report on the subject of emigration on the table was agreed to. Mr. MORTON then moved for leave to bring in a hill for revising and amending an Act for regulating vessels, carrying passengers to foreign parts.— Mr. HUME said that that bill hud been repealed two years ago in conse- quence of a special report, and wished to know why it slionld. be revived now.— Mr. HUSKISSON entered into several details of the miseries inflicted upon emigrants, from the crowded and ill. provided state of the vessels.— Mr. STANLEY said that a gallant officer had represented to him that no slave- ship he had ever seen was in so loathsome and disgusting a state as the vessels which had taken emigrants from Ireland.— Mr. WARRURTON did not think the evidence sufficient.— Mr. ROBINSON confirmed the statements of the miseries on board those vessels; and leave was given to bring in the bill. The House went into a Committee on the East Retford Disfranchisement Bill, and more witnesses were ex- amined. Their evidence went to show a general system of bribery and corruption in the borough. A question put to one of them occasioned rather a stormy scene. : The witness appealed to the chair to know if he should answer a question as to his having received a bribe, and the ATTORNEY GENERAL said, that he should not answer any question criminatory of himself.— Sir R. WILSON was of a different opinion.— Mr. LITTLETON was quite astonished that the Attorney General should be so ignorant of law.— The ATTORNEY GENERAL said that he would not reciprocate the rustic coarseness of Mr. Little- ton. As a lawyer, he despised what That gentleman had vomited forth.— After some more conversation, the SPEAKER said, that no proceedings in a court of law- could be grounded on evidence given in that House, without its permission. The Corporation and Test Aef Repeal Bill was read a first time.— On the motion of Lord ALTIIORPE it is to be read a secoud time on Friday week. jtti0cellantoit0 Intelligence* The banking house of Sir Walter Stirling, Stirling, and Hodeoll,. have announced to all their creditors, that they are now prepared to pay the balance of their accounts iu full. The firm do not intend re- suming business. A provincial journal states that there is a mail now in London, under sentence of transportation for life for horse- stealing, who is making up a purse, to provide necessaries for his voyage and for an invest- ment in laud on his arrival, by giving information to those persons whom at different times he has robbed, by which the lost property may be regained. He receives a douceur for his honesty proportioned to the value of the horse regained, from one to ten pounds It is said, by these means 34 horses have found their way back to their original proprietors. A gentleman at Enfield has thus recovered a valuable and favourite coach horse, which was stolen from him more than two years since, little worse for wear.— County Chronicle. A patent was recently obtained for fixing shoes on horses without nailing— if effectually accomplished, every friend to that noble animal will support it. The increase in the consumption of gin alone has within the last year been from twelve to twenty- four millions of gallons. gimpevtcil $ Dantamettt HOUSE OF COMMONS- FRIDAY. The adjourned d « bate on Mr, Brougham's proposi- tion for an inquiry into the state of the Courts of Law was resumed ; and the Learned Gentleman's motion, modified in terms at the suggestion of Mr. PERL, was unanimously agreed to. T he .. SOLICITOR GENERAL replied to a number of the points of Mr. Brougham's address f » om which he dissented, and remarked on others in which he concurred. He was followed by Mr. G. LA. WB, the ATTORNEY GENERAL, Mr. FERGU- SON, Mr. Secretary PEEL, Mr. SUGOEN, Sir JAMES SCARLETT, Dr. PHII. LIMORE, and Mr. BROUGHAM in reply. The Address, as it now stands, requests " that his Majesty may be pleased to take such measures as may seem most expedient for the purpose of causing due inquiry to be made into the origin, progress, and termination of Actions in the superior Courts of Com- mon Law iu this country, and matters connected therewith, and into the State of the Law regarding the transfer of Real Property." The inquiry, it is understood, is to be conducted bv two Commissions, HOUSE OF LOKDS — MONDAY. Several petitions were presented in favour of the repeal of the Corporation and Test Acts. LORD CLIFDEN, on presenting one of these from the Roman Catholics of Liverpool, strongly condemned these acts. Lord KEDESDAI E defended the acts in question. He was of opinion, that while political power was vested in the friends of the church, so long would it stand; but when that was taken away, the church would begin to decay ; and, therefore, he would support the Test and Corporation Acts. Lord KING thought tests were only fit for such men as Charles II. under whom they were introduced. He took the test of the Covenant to fit him for the crown of Scotland, the test of Episcopacy to fit him for the crown of England, and the test 6f Catholicism Willi a view to fit him for a crown in Heaven.— Lord CAL- THORTE deprecated the continuance of the Test Acts. On the motion of the Marquis of LANSDOWNE, the bill for consolidating and amending the laws touching offences against the person was read a first time. HOUSE OF COMMONS MONDAY. In answer to a question put to Mr. PEEL by Sir JOHN NEWPORT, upon the subject of the security < if theatres, the Right Hon. Secretary of State replied, that some time since it had been suggested to him that the Build- ing Act generally might be revised with advantage, and the hint was well wortkv of consideration. He was sure, however, that the Right Hon. Baronet would agree with him in thinking that the present moment was hot the best time possible for considering whether it was right or not that arty measure should be adopted for the better security of the public attending the theatres and other places of amusement. It would be better to wait till it was fully understood how the late melancholy accident had occurred, than to attempt to deal with the subject while tlie public feelings were excited. The subject had not escaped his attention, and should have the most serious consideration. The house afterwards weut into a committee on the East Retford Disfranchisement Bill. Some of the wit- nesses examined proved that 20 and sometimes 40 guiueas a vote were given by the candidates. One Interesting and picturesque description of a gypsy encampment on the banks of the Ganges, extracted from the late Dr. Heber's ( Bishop of Calcutta) Narrative and Letters written in India, just published by Marray :— " On the other side of the river was a large encamp- ment of wretched tents of mats, with a number of little hackeries, panniers, ponies, goats, & c. so like gypsies, that on asking what they were, 1 was not much surprised to hear Abdullah say they were gypsies; that they were numerous iu the upper provinces, living exactly like the gypsies in England that he hail seen the same people both in Persia and Russia, and in Persia they spoke Hindooslanee the same as here. In Russia lie had had no opportunity of ascertaining this fact ; but iu Persia, by Sir Gore Ouseley's desire, he had spoken with some of the wandering tribes, and found that they understood and could, answer him. 1 told him of Lord Teignmnuth's conversation in Biudoostanee with the old' gypsy on Nortbvvood, and he said in Persia it was not every gypsy who spoke it, only old people. He said they were so like each other in all the countries where he had seen them, that they could not be mistaken, though in Persia they were of a much better caste, and much richer than here, or in England, or Russia. But he added, 4 I suppose in Russia, before Peter the i Great, all people much like gypsies/ There were many curious circumstances which I deduced from his information: first, the identity of the gypsy race in Europe and India, and their connecting link seemed established by a very observant witness, and certainly one unprejudiced by system. Secondly, on further inquiry, I found the people whom he identified with our gypsies i: i Persia, were the wandering tribes ot Louristan, Curdistan, Sic. whom he described with truth as being of 4 good caste,' valiant and wealthy. It iherefore follows, that these tribes, whose existence in Persia seemed to be traced down from the time of Cyrus, and whose language is generally understood to differ from the Persians of the plains and cities, resemble in countenance and person the gypsies, aud that their ancient language has been a dialect of Hindoostanee. The probability is indeed that Persia, not India, has been the original centre of this nomadic popu'ation." In the same work we find the mode of riding nppn elephants in India, with their trappings, drivers, & c. described as follows - 44 At Barrackpoor, for the first time, I mounted an elephant, the motion of which I thought far from disagreeable, though very different from that of a horse. As the animal moves both feet on the same side at once, the sensation is like that of being carried on a man's shoulders. A full grown elephant carries two persons in the 4howdah,' besides the 4 mohut,' or driver, who sits on his neck, and a servant on the crupper behind with an umbrella. The howdah itself, which Europeans use, is not unlike the body of a small gig, but without a head. The native howdahs have a far less elevated seat, and are much move ornamented. At Calcutta, or within five miles of it, no elephants are allowed, on account of the frequent accidents which they occasion by frightening horses. Those at Rarracpoor were larger animals than I had expected to see* two of them were at least ten feet high. That which Lord Amherst rode, and on which I accompanied him, was a very noble fellow, dressed up in splendid trappings, which were a present from the King of Oude, and ornamented all over with fish embroidered in gold, a device which is here considered a badge of royalty. I was amused by one peculiarity, which I had never before heard of : while the elephant is going on, a man walks by his side, telling him where to tread, bidding him 4 take care,'—' step out,' warning him that the road is rough, slippery, & c. ail which the animal is supposed to understand, and take his measures accordingly. The mohut says nothing, but guides him by pressing his legs to his neck, on the side to which he wishes him to turn, urging him forward with the point of a formidable goad, and strapping him by a blow on the forehead with the butt end of the same instrument. The command these men have over their elephants is well known, and a circumstance lately occurred of one of them making a sign to his beast, which was instantly obeyed, to kill a woman who had said something to offend him. The man was executed before our arrival. 1' p. 29- 30. The Manchester Mercury says, the estimated number of looms propelled by water and steam power in the United Kingdom, including those iu preparation for working previous to the stagnation, and, as near as any calculation can be made, is 58,000. The average produce, taking it at 22 square yards a- day, makes 1,254,000, or 1741 yards minute; weekly, 7,524,000 ; monthly, 31,300,000; yearly, 376,200,000. Allowing six yards to each person for yearly consumption, it will supply 62,700,000, arid will cover 6fi, 700 acres of ground, and iu length would extend 213,700 miles, and reach across the Atlantic Oceau 71 times. A petition is in course of signature at West Bromwich, inifended to be presented to both Houses of Parliament, praying them to interfere for the effectual suppression of Bull- baiting. Dr. Thomas who has published a work on the practice of physic, assert9 that dread of water is no criterion of what is termed hydrophobia, but that, in many instances, the rabid animal has been known to seek for water, and to lap it incessantly. It is now twelve months since the fire was first discovered in Holworth Cliff, and although it has never ceased to burn during that time, still the orifice does not appear to be much enlarged; those, however, who have watched its progress, cannot but have observed how much the internal fire has in- creased since it was first noticed Sherborne Journal. NOBLE RINGERS— SirSyrionds d'F. wes who was Lord of the Manor of Lavenbam, in Suffolk, and one of the most learned of the antiquaries of his time, was a bellringer, as was Sir Matthew Hale, Lord Chief Justice of the Common Pleas. William Cecil, High Treasurer of England, was also a bellriuger. JESUITS OUT JESUITED.— Some time before the abolition, of the Jesuits, a gentleman of Paris died, and left his estate to that religious body, on condition that on the return of his son, who was then abroad, the worthy father shoold give him 44 la partie qui leur plairoit" whatever part they chose. When the son came, he went to the fathers, and received but a very small share indeed, the wise son9 of Loyola choosing to keep the greatest part to themselves. The young gentleman consulted his friends, and all agreed that he was without remedy. At length a barrister, to whom lie happened to mention his case, advised him to sue the convent, and assured him that he would gain his cause. The gentleman followed the barrister's advice, and the suit terminated in his favour, through the management of the advocate, who grounded his plea on this reasoning; 44 The testator has left his son that part which the fathers should choose ; T' 44 la partie qui leur plairo it''' are the express words of the will. Now, it is plain what part they have chosen, by what they would keep to them selves. My client then stands on the words of the will ; 4 let me have,' sa> s he, 4 the part they have chosen, and I am satisfied.' It was accordingly awarded to him without hesitation. ANOTHER COLLIERY ON FIRE— A few days ago it was discovered that a fire existed in the old Workings of the nine- feet coal at Sauchy Colliery in the vicinity of Alloa. From the investigations made, it appears tbat this fire must have begun about ten years ago, at the dead crop or out burst of the coal close to the surface. The fire is amongst the rubbish of the old works, and so close to the crop of the coal that the beat has the effect of melting the snow pre- sently On the ground there. The fire is in a state of simple ignition, that is red hot, but no flame, and it is surprising to find how very little progress it has made in the space of ten years. It is very remarkable that no smoke or vapour from the burning mass has appeared at any one of the numerous pits which are upon this nine- feet coal; it is concluded, however, that the great extent of waste or old mines around condenses the smoke and vapour, which are generated slowly, and in very small quantities. Very exagger ated accounts are afloat regarding this fire, as if it were like^ Etna or Vesuvius vomiting flame; but such is its quiet state, that a stranger may walk over the spot where the fire is and not discern or suspect that such a process is going oil below ground.— Scotsman NEW INSECT.— The ground pearl, which abounds in many of the West- Indian Islands, aud was formerly supposed to be a fossil, has been proved, by the researches of the Rev. L. Guilding, to be the nidus of a living insect. This new insect, which is supposed to be a parasite on the great ant of the West Indies, is remarkable as not being provided with a mouth, its food being conveyed through a tube iti each of the fore claws. The animal also has the power of throwing put long filaments from its body in dry weather, supposed to be with the view of attracting moisture for its preservation. An interesting paper was recently read, describing this insect^ by Mr. Guilding before the Linnseau Society. TRUTH LIKE A DOLPHIN — If a man be sincerely wedded to Truth, he must make up his mind to findf her a portionless Virgin, and he must take her for her- self alone. The contract, too, must be to love, cherish'/ and obey her, not only until death, but beyond it ; fo/ this is an union that must survive not only Death, but Time, the Conqueior of Death. The adorer of truth,' therefore, is above all present things. Firm in the midst of temptation, and frank in the midst of treachery, he will be attacked by those who have prf-' judiees, simply because he is without them— derided as a bad bargain by all who want to purchase, because he alone is not to be bought, and abused by all partiesr because he is the advocate of none ; like the dolphin, which is always painted more crooked than a ram's horn, all ho' every naturalist knows that it is the straightest fish that swims. In severe Colds, Rheumatism, & c. from which numbers suffer so severely, particularly during the Winter Months, a more salutary Remedy cannot be resorted to, or one that has effected more extraor- dinary Cures, than the Genuine Ratemaii's Pectoral Drops, which may be had of most respectable Medicine Venders either in Town or Country. Like many other valuable Medicines, however, it is very much counterfeited, which renders it the more necessary for Purchasers to be particular in inquir- ing for 44 DICER'S Ba. teman's Dropswhich have the words DICEY and Co, in the Stamp, and are the only genuine sort.

DESTRUCTION OF FF. V. FR.—[ From Dr. Graham's " Modern Domestic Medicine."]— When a number of children are living1 in the same house where the measles is present, as in boarding- schools, poor houses, & c. it is of much moment to be acquainted with the means of preventing: the spread of the contagion, and I would here recommend the free use of the chlorides of sodium or of lime as a safe and effectual antidote. See the rtianner of using- them at page 181. M. Labarraque, of Paris, says that he has lately witnessed a satisfactory instance in which the infection arising from measles, which had occurred in a boarding school, had been per- fectly arrested, without the removal of any of the pupils, by the employment of these chlorides. And M. Lisfranc, surgeon in chief of the hospital La Pitie, in Paris, has fully ascertained that the air of wards where small- pox patients are confined no longer communicates the disease, whilst daily sprinklings with these solutions are employed. There can be no doubt that the same means will prove of equal efficacy in arresting the progress of the infection of scarlet fever, & c. A New and Improved Edition.

Fiom Washington Irr'nufs Life of Columbus.— The me- morialist says, Columbus was very much influenced by the relations of Marco Polo, a Venetian, who wrote, in the end of the 13th century, narratives of his navigation and his travels. The character of the writings of that voyager may be learnt by the following extract from Mr. Washington living's accoant of the above- named island, on Polo's authority:— Fifteen hundred miles from the shores of Mangi, in the ocean, lay the great island of Zipangri, or, as Columbus writes it, Cipango, and which is sup- posed to be Japan. Marco Polo describes it as abounding in gold, which, however, the king seldom permits to be transported out of the island. The king has a magnificent palace, covered with plates of gold, as in other countries the roofs of the palaces are covered with sheets of lead or copper. The halls and chambers are likewise covered with gold ; the windows adorned with it; the very floors paved with it, sometimes in plates of the thickness of two fingers. The island also produces vast quantities of the largest and fittest pearls, together with a variety of precious stones; so that in'fact it abounds in riches.— The great Khan made several attempts to conquer this island, but in vain ; which is not to be wondered at, if what Marco Polo relates be true— that the inhabitants had certain stones of a charmed virtue tied to their arms, which, through the power of diabolical enchantments, rendered them invulnerable. The island of Cipango was an object of diligent search to Columbus. About the island of Zipangri or Cipango, and between it and the coast of Mangi, the sea, accord- to Marco Polo, is studded with small islands, to the number of seven thousand four hundred and forty- eight, of which the greater part are inhabited. There is not one which does not produce odoriferous trees, and perfumes in abundance. Columbus thought himself at one time in the midst of these islands. These are the principal places described by Marco Polo, which occur in the letters and journals of Columbus. The island of Cipango was the first land he expected to make, and he intended to visit afterwards the province of Mangi, and to seek the great Khan in his city of Cambalu, in the province of Cathay. Unless the reader bears in mind these sumptuous descriptions of Marco Polo, of countries teeming with wealth, and cities whose very domes aud palaces flamed with gold, he will have but a faint idea of the splendid anticipations of Columbus, when he discovered, as he supposed, the extremity of Asia. It was this confident expectation of soon arriving at these countries, and realizing the accounts of the Venetian, that induced him to hold forth those pro- mises of immediate wealth to the sovereigns, which caused so much disappointment.
