"•„* The SCOTS MAGAZINE was begun ! n 17C9. and lias'been continued, without interruption, during the seven - ty- eight years which have since elapsed. It lorins now a record of Scottish Literature aud History, during that lottg period, tbe value of which is so universally acknow- ledged, as to render ail panegyric superfluous. For some time past, however, it has been strongly pressed on the Proprietors, from various quarters, tint, in order more fully to adapt it to the taste of the times, a considerable enlargement of plan was become necessary, and that it ought to rece ve some improvements ia typography and appearance. The Proprietors feit some hesitation in m ik- ing any change upon tne plan of a work so long establish- ed^ but tbe ample and highly respectable assurances which they have received, both of regular support, and of occa- sional contributions, in tbe event of such a change, have with spirit and Zeal at length determined them to enter Upon the execution of the improvements suggested. The Proprietors, therelore, beg to intimate, that the present series closes with tbe number for July ; and th it. the number for August forms the Jirst of a new series, upon a plan greatly enlarged and improved, and whhh will combine, with the objects hitherto treated in the SCOTS MAGAZINE, a variety of others, which the nar- rower limits of that miscellany did not permit it to em- irate. To form a repository for the short and occasion il pro- ductions of men of genius— to draw illustrations of the manners, hi- fory, and antiquities of Scotland, from mi es yet unexhausted or unexplored— to record the remarka- ble occurrences of the republic ol letters, including an obituary of its eminent characters,— to illustrate ibe pro- gress and pre ent state of the fine, as well as of the use- ful arts,— and to preserve a faithful journal of foreign aud domestic occurrences;— these are objects which, with many others of a nature too miscellaneous to be pariicu larly enumerated, they confidently expett to fulfil, with a success not attained by any similar work hitherto at- « <-) » ,,.,.(> io tins coullrry. I he work will now be entitled, " The Edinburgh RTagazine, or Literary Miscellany, being a new series of the Scots Magazine," and will be published monthly. The M igazine hearing the former tide, was, in 1804, incorporated with the Scots Magazine, and tbe two unit ed have since been published under the title of tbe Scots Magazine and Edinburgh Literary Miscellany Ii will contain six sheets of letter- press, and being printed| in a closer manner, will comprise in each number nearly dou- ble the present quantity of matter. The price will he Two Stiitlijnqs, This moderate addition is rendered unavoida- ble by the enlargement of the plan and the improvement of the materials : nor is there'now any publication of the land which is sold at a lower rate.

Nos 3. and 4, conjoined, ( either with or without No. 2.) would form a most desirable and complete Farm, and the addition of No. 5 to Glenquoich, whether disjoined or in whole, would render that extensive Tenement, ( in the latter case especially) one of the first Highland Farms in the Kingdom. It may be proper to mention, that through ihis Farm, the l. ochuirn branch of the Parlia- mentary Roads, communicating with the West Coatft, runs for nearly 20 miles; an advantage that very few Sheep Walks possess. Ample melioration for Houses suitable to the above farms, according as they may be setj shall be cheerfully allowed. No. 8. ou which there is a heat and comfortable Cot- tage, is beautifully situated on the West Coast of Knoi- dart, and well adapted for the residence ofa Gentlemin, who might consider farming on a 1 - rge scale not sn much an object as a smaller concern, combined with tbe enj.- y- ment of Fishing and Shooting ; tbe former of which, in particular, may be had here in the greatest variety and abundance. No. 9 possesS- s similar advantage", with the last men- tioned* Farm, though in a less degree in respect to the House, it may be let either in whole or in lots. Thi- re wil! also be Let, and entered to at Whitsunday, 1819, the Farms of 1NVERGU1SHER AN, and MIA- LARY, in KNOIDART, the former consisting of 6021 Acres and the latter of 454. As it is proposed to Let those Farms, in reference to their connection with the Lands ot Scotor, in a different manner from the present, the particulars of that arrangement will be given in a fu- ture advertisement. Two INNS, upon the West Coast, at the heads of Lochnevis and I. ochuirrt, and one in the interior, at the junction of the Glenshiel and the Glengarry new road, with the Lochutrn branch, are also to be let, some time in the course of next year. For further particulars application may be made to the Proprietor, Colonel Macdonell of Glengarry, Glengarry House, by Fort Augustus; or to Neil Maclean, hi) Factor, in whose hands plans of the above lands may be seen, and by either of whom offers will be received be- twixt and tbe month of November next, when all those Lands will be let without reserve. N- B. Tradesmen, or Mechanics, intending to settle in either of the villages of B- lalistef, on the banks of the Caledonian Canal, or of Bal Beh- aic, on the West Coast, will meet with every encouragemenc.

' the Crois of Honour df the first class, upon Dr Satlartdiere, who received in 1815, a gold medal, as a recompense for the care he bestowed upon the Prussian oh'tcers and soldiers, in the hospital o. Montaign. The latest intelligence from Russia announces the recovery of Prince Wiihain of Prussia ; the wound in his foot has been attended by no bad con- sequences. The Cardinal de Beausset will receive to- day, from his Majesty's hands, the hot sent him by the Pope. On the night of the 20th of August, the church of Notre Dame at Dijon, one of the finest edelices of that city, was struck by lightning j but happily no serious injuiy was sustained. At a quarter past two, the Count de Ruppin ( Ktng of Prussia) decorated with the blue cordon-, and accompanied by a splendid lefinue, went to the Tuilleries to compliment his Majesty upon the oc- casion of his fete. In the course of the month, the Secretary of State for the Interior invited the Prefects to trans- mit to him accurate infoimatron respecting the har- vest of grain, in their several depaitments. Foui- teen questions were drawn up, relating the quantity of seed sown, the average pid'duce of crops ftofti given quantities of seed, the number of persons, and the probable consumption of each department, & c. In these important questions we have an additional proof ot the solicitude of his Majesty tor the pros- perity of his subjects. stop., it is insinuated that the faarniges which have of late been so frequent between young people, without the means of supporting z family, may have contributed to increase the Vmmbfcr of pattpers. AUG. 19— As his Majesty ott passing the Lit- tle Belt to Sooghoi, wat<:' saluled by a discharge of artillery from the heights, ioneof the cannon burst, and the explosion was the more tenible, as a very lotrd clap ot thunder happened at the same moment. Though the violent and unlooked- for noise caus- ed a great- terror, it is said no injury was sustained. The rye hit vest has begun, and here and there some bailey has been reaped ; but the weather is still rainy and unsettled, and there is a great deal of hay still on the ground. SOUTH AMERICA. GERMANY: FRAS- KFORT, Aug. 18. Letters direct from Carlsbad announce the arrival of the Russian Mi- nister Count Capo d'lstria in that city. There was much talk of conferences between that Minis- ter, the Piussian Ministers who are there, Piince Schwartzenberg, and k. he English Minister, Mr Lamb. Pi ince Metternich tvas impatiently expect- ed at Carlsbad. Tbe Prince de Haidenberg pro- poses to remain there till his arrival. LOWKH ELBE, Aug. 15.— A Custom- house offi- cer on the coast ot Sweden having discharged a loaded pistol at the Captain of an English vessel, which slightly wounded him in the cheek, he has been cited before a Council of War* at Landscrohe, and the English Consul at Elsinore has been re quested to send a confidential agent to the Council, to be present at the examinations. LAUSANNE, Aug. 15.— The Federal Directory has communicated to tbe cantons, in a circular ot the ' 2d instant, the following note from the Minis- ters of the allied Powers, respecting the residence of the persons included in the ordinance of the 2l- th July c — " The Ministers of the Cabinets who signed the treaty of the 20th November 1815, having decreed, among other things, that all the French individuals comprises! in the two lists of the 24- th July of the same year, would be permitted to reside only in Austria, Prussia, or Russia, where their Royal and Imperial Majesties are willing to grant them asy. lums, the undersigned Ministers of the four allied Courts have the honour to remind M. de Tschann, entrusted with the affairs of the Swiss Confedera- of these regulations^ Ihey wish also to in- FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRANCE, PARIS, Aug. 15.— At one d'clock, Officers of the Parisian National Guard, having at their head his Royal Highness Monsieur, Colonel General, and bis Excellency Marshall Oudinot, Duke of Reggio, were admitted to present their reipecta to the King, on the occasion of the fete. These pen- tletlien afterwards defiled before his Majesty, in the order of theit respective Legions. Alter mass, the king received the principal Officers ol State and the Ministers. The badness of the weather ( it having rained in- cessantly duiing the day) csused the gieate. part of the intended ceremonies to be put oft. The distri- bution of wines and eatables in the Camp Elysees, was postponed till Sunday next. For the same rea- son there was no parade in the Court of Tuilleries. The grand fete which was to have taken place at Tivoli, was also defer ed till Thursday next. The Duke ot Wellington, accompanied by his Staff, and a grtal number of foreigners of distinc- tion, piesented his respects to the King. The opening of the new port ® f Middleborgh, in Holland, took place on the 9th inst, with great so- lemnity, tn the piesence of the King of the Nether- linds. The Princess Dowager of d'OEttingen- OEt- tingen, born Duchess ol Wiitemberg, died of an a- poplectic fit on the 9th inst. at Wallet stein. His Majesty the King of Prussia hat conferied form them, that impressed with the necessity of en*. forcing their execution, they have adopted the de- termination that all the above- mentioned individuals who may be found in any other country than Aus- tria, Piussia, or Russia, must prepare themselves to proceed to the states of one of those countries by the 15th of August. " The Confederation having acceded to the treaty of the 20th November 1815, which sanctioned the said regulations, the undersigned cannot doubt its disposition to second the wishes of the allied Courts. They consequently flatter themselves, that as soon as it is acquainted with the present determination, it will categorically declare to the French exiles comprised in the twe lists, who may be in its terri- tories, that they are to choose between this and the 1 5th of August, one of the three countries in which they will be permitted to reside, and that the go- vernment of the confederation will watch over the execution of a measure, which has bee. i dictated only by a desire to promote the general tranquillity and salety, and the indispensable necessity of which experience has demonstrated." In a sitting of the I7th Aug. the Diet received the act recognising the perpetual neutialityof Swit- zerland on the pait of the King of Spain. It is dated July 6. The Diet then discussed and adopted a proposi- tion for bestowing an honorary medal upon the warriors of the Swiss guards, for theit fidelity and courage on the 10th of August 1792. Our harvest is niost abundant, as well in the quantity as quality of the grain, which is remarka- bly heavy. NORTHERN STATES. STOCKHOLM, July 29.— It is the districts of Kronoberg and Calmar who have been the first to adopt measures for bringing back to Sweden the ancient simplicity of the inhabitants of the Noith. The deputies from tbe peasants have not only ma- nifested a disposition to abolish the use of all foreign stuffs, and to wear only those which are fabticated at home, but they have also proposed to have their ptesent clothes stamped, to that they cannot renew them j and, without distinction of rank or wealth, every person wearing a dress not stamped, shall be condemned to a fine of from five to ten florins. AUG. 5, Prince Oscar, Duke of Suderma- nia, h is now been introduced also in the Norwe- gian Council of State here on which occasion the Minister, Peter Auker, made a very long speech. WERSAW, Aug. 11.— To check the usury Car- tied on by the Jews, the police has order to pro- ceed with rigour against them. Their numbers in- crease incredibly in Poland. Agriculture is not their business. Many little towns are inhabited al- most wholly by Jews. PETERSBURG*!, July 31.— An event which took place on the 21st of last month, in the invirons of Abo, has created great alarm among the inhabitants. On that day towards noon, the ground of a village, 22 versts from that city, suddenly sunk to the depth of many fathoms, and dragged with it 12 houses, which were completely submerged, ( perserwng, however, their situation), so that no trace of them could be discovered. A similar falling in of the earth occurred in the same place io 1755 and 1788. Among other causes, this phenomenon is ascribed to the swampy marsh upon which the village is built, and to the river which flows through it. The accident has occasioned great loss to the inha- bitants. COI'ENHAOES, Aog. 13— All the principal au- thorities are invited to send to the Chancery their opinion upon the best means of diminishing the number of poor, who have so increased, that it will soon be impossible for the parishes to provide subsistence for them. In the resolution of the Go- vernment, addressed to the authorities upon the oc- From a morning paper.'] Port of Spain ( Trinidad), July 6. As an Englishman, I look forward to the peifect emancipation of Spanish America as identified with our best interests ; and as far as relates to the inha bitants, nothing can tend so much to their improve- ment, as being relieved from that state of bigotry and profound ignorance, with regard to the princi- ples of good government, and the useful arts of life, in which the Spanish government has kept them for 300 years ; and I see no reason to suppose that the persevering efforts of Bolivar and the ftiends of freedom will not eventually triumph over all oppo- sition. The Creole troops fight with such deter- mined valour, that the Spaniards cannot stand the shock, and hence no Spanish army now exists in the field any where. The fall of the capital of Guayana may be looked for every moment, as the Independent squadron fiom Margaretta had reach- ed the Oronoko, and the Spanish garrisons, even previously, had been driven to the greatest distress. The tiade of Guayana, when taken, will not be confined to that tich piovince, but will take in that of Varinas and part ot Santa Fe, which are already in the hands of the patriots. To give you some idea of the subject, the independent General Paez occupies the Province of Vaiinas, all the Lowe Apure, and as far as Calab; zo, about 60 leagues- from Caraccas, with 4000 cavalry, composed ol the Sambos of Boves and Morales, aod others of of that class. He defeated Motillo completely in January, as seen by his own reports. Bolivar, Piar, BermUndez, Cedeno, and a host ot othei gcod officers, besiege the two cities in Guayana. On the llth April, Piar destroyed the Spanish di vision of 1500 men, most of Monllu's veterans, so completely, that an Englishman, who was at the city ot Auuustura, who saw them match out and return, say-', that not 50 escaped, and only Briga. dier La Torre and two officers. This English- man, who was there with ins bt ig, was embargoed till the 2d of May, and for tiie last month lived on jerked beet alone, without btead, and witnessed daily people dying ot hunger. In consequence of this, all who could deseit have gone over to the pat riots, and the last arrival gave a far mote diead- ful account oi the scarcity. The sut render is there- fo> e looked tor momentarily, as Brion's tquadron, consisting of tour heavy bugs, and six schooners and sloops, well armed, and eight heavy gun- boats, entered the Oror. oko three weeks ago. Villa- F. ma is in the Llanos, about San Carlos, 60 leagues from Caraccas ; Nunate Perez has dri- ven the Spaniaids out ot the provinces of Casanare and Tunja, in New Granada ; Socorro has also freed herself; Ruxas commands at Matui n ; Ma. rino, Saraza, and M - sagas, occupy the plains in the rear of Barcelona and Cumana 5 Margaietta bids defiance to the Spaniards utid theii paltry ex- pedition— and in a Word the Dons are every where quite peiplexed and undone. I see every probabi- lity ol their shoitly being quite diivenoutot Vene- zuela and New Granada, and good care will be ta- ken they do not return. The Spaniards have late- ly shot General Freites, and three or four other in- dependent othceis, taken at Barcelona. This ope- ration was pei formed on their backs, tor Spaniards will never cease to be brutes to the conquered* Marino offered to exchange a Spanish Colonel, Luxano, for Fieites, but Morillo preferred shoot ing him, and letting the Spanish Colonel take his chance, which I fear will be a bad one. In short, so long as the Spaniards put their piisor. ers to death, they can expect no quartet ; nor, indeed, do they deserve any. It the Spaniards had any means to carry on the war beyond their garrisons, they would have no doubt attempted the relief of Guayana ; instead of that they blockaded Margaretta for 13 days, but dared not to land. eel brated. Her Majesty, accompanied by the j P iacesses Augus'a and Elizabeth, the Duchesset oi GloucetUT and York, and the Princess Sophia of Gloucester, took their stations in the stand, near the winning- post. The Duke of Gloucester, and others of the nobility, wete also present. A hea- vy shower fell immediately after, when the ladies w'ele protected by the umbrellas of the gentlemen. The Duke of Devonshire has left St Petersburg!!, but is not expected toanivein England Before next spring, it being his Grace's intention to viiit most ot the German Courts before his return. The Earl and Counte3s of Crfiveh and family ate arrived at Naples', where they intend to reside some timet and then to return to Rome for the winter; Numbers of French \ Jomen ate continually arriv ing at Portsmouth with baskets df fruit atid eggs. These are the articles in which they ostensibly deal j but their chief trade is that of smuggling. Thty have art enough to conceal their laces, gloves, silks, Stc. from the vigilance of the Custom house officers; and they have address enough to dispose of them for prices, at which articles ot equal,' it not superior, value might be purchased in London. A writer in the Journal des Debates ptiys a handsome compliment ( as far as it goes) to the English character. Speaking of the English and French cauca utists, he says, " the English show a brave spirit even in this species of warfaie : they attack the gieat Lord, they strike the man in pow- er ; but the French caricaturists insult only the feeble and trample upon the vanquished. They are like the wietcbes who hid$, themselves during the battle, and when it is over, come from lurking holes and plunder the wounded." Mr Edward Giddy, surgeon of Penzance, hav- ing g » ne 011 boatd a vessel, near that place* to at- tend a patient, on Monday last, experienced no little disappointment on finding, when he proposed to return home, that the vessel, being fiom the West Indies, he must go to Stangate to peiform quarantine, for which he accordingly proceeded, leaving all his Penzance patients behind him ! NAVY.— The surrey of the sefi ral men of war at all the ports is in a state of forwardness. Many ships are ordered lo be sold or broken up, anil others, which admit of it, to be repaired. Among the former are the Chatham, 74-, Cormorant store ship, and some sloops. The Fame is found in 4 very defective state, and is to be taken to pieces at Chatham. There are now almost 300 King's vessels of all sizes laid lip in ordinary in Portsmou h harbottl's Of these, the Victory and the Nelson are the chief objects of attraction ; the latter on account of ita extraordinary size, beauty, and magnificence, ae; well as its name. The Nelson is made to carry 130 guns, and is the largest ship that ever was butlt in this country. Every possible care is taken to keep her in the best state of preservation. Her three masts are standing, but her top- masts, top. gallant- masts, yards, booms, tigging, & c. are care- fully stowed upon tbe decks ; and all covered with a large awning. With the excejition of guns, she has on board evety thing necessary to ( it her out tor sea in 4- 8 hours. A vigilant boatswain, wilh some other warrant officers, are on board ; and al. though she lies about three miles up the harbour, it is as much as one of these persons can do on a fine day to attend the company who come to 6ee the in- side of the ship. The vauous devices, mottos, and emblematical figures, upon her head, bows, quar- ters, and stein, are in a good state of pieservation. SCOTLAND. EAST INDIES. Extract of a Letter from Potldicherry. " On the 2tith ot February, as three young gen- tlemen were shooting near Killanour, ten miles tiom Pondichesry, a villager intomied thtm that a wo- man had been torn about iwo hours before by a ti- ger, and said he would shew them the jungle to which he had returned : they accordingly went with him. Several villagers followed with tom- toms ; they were not long in finding the icmains ol the woman's clothes, with a basket and some grass which she had been gathering. The villagers soon roused him ; in passing from one part ot the jungle to another, he caught one of them and tore hiin se- verely ; the noise made at the time, caused lum to let go his hold, and retire to a large bush 00 the edge of a tank. The gentlemen then surrounded the place, but not supposing he was there, from his being so quiet, one ot them went to look in, when he rose from the middle of the bu, h with a dread- ful roar, leapt upon a villager, and threw htm a considerable distance. When in the act of leaping, he received a ball in his hinder quarters, which laid him on his back, but he still kept hoid of the man ; in this position, he got anothei, which made him furious ; the third gentleman then ran up and sent a charge of shot through him, a spear fixed him to the ground, while the villagers ( one or two, for the others had made the best use ot their legs) thump- ed his head with large sticks, which soon put an end to his existence.— He was more than seven feet from his nose to the tip of his tail; to judge from the condition he wa6 in, he must have made great depredations in this neighbourhood. " The man who was last caught, had his arm so very much shattered, that I am afraid he will never be able to use it, the animal having the greatest part of his arm with part of his side in his mouth at the same time. " Pondicherry continues to be the gayest city in India. Several splendid entertainments have lately taken place here." DOMESTIC INTELLIGENCE. LONDON, AUGUST 27. EGHAM RACES.— These pleasurable races com- menced yesterday, at Runnymede, Egham j but the wetness of the day prevented that assemblage of beauty and fashion for which the course hat been THE EXECUTION OI' CAFF1N THE BLACK, here was some uncommon circumstances at tending the fate of the wretched man who was ex- ecuted on Monday. He had been guilty of a rape upon a child 10 years of age and 6 months, and was otdeied for execution on Wednesday last, but was respited in consequence of a represention made by the surgeons who attended the girl, and the pri- soner, alleging that the crime had not been com- mitted j that it was impossible that it could have been committed. It was a source ot much wonder amongst those who resided in the neighbourhood v here the crime was sworn to have been committed, those upon whom the constant declaration of the Black as to his innocence had made an impression, that the medical men had not previously sent in their depositions to the Secietary of State. The surprise was not diminished when they heard one or the surgeon's account for his tardiness, by saying that he did not know, that application to the Secie- tary of State would have been availing sfter the de- livery of the verdict. Lord Sidmouth on receiv- ing such extraordinary intelligence as the denial of the only two persons supposed capable of deciding upon so important a point, that the crime had been committed, said the most attentive consideration should be given to what was laid before him, and respited the prisoner till Monday* In the mean time, a black man waited upon the Rev. Mr Cotton, and asked him, whether there was not a man of colour condemned to die. Hav- ing heard the tact from the authority for which the stranger had shown the utmost respect, he beg- ged to be allowed to visit the malefactor. The Oidinary—" Ceitainly you shall see him. I suppose you are his relation ? The Black—" No, sir, I am an African ; he is I hear,. an American. I never saw him ; our con- ditions were never alike. I was a slave ; he was never a slave, except to his passions, which have treated him worse even than my masters treated me." He then pulled aside the hair that hung on his face, and showed him several scars every one of which, he said, had a different master. The Ordinary—" What i6 your object in visit- ing this man, if you do not know him. !" The Black.— God has been good to me ; I know the Gospel scheme of salvation and come to speak a word of consolation to the afflicted." The Ordinary took him in : they found Caffin at prayer on his face and hands. The stranger shed tears upon seeing this testimony of a penitent heart pointed to the station of that Power which shed its pure religion over him, and played upon the proselyte with a beam that never seta, and a hope that never forsakes him. Caffin loee at the call of the Or dinary, who though unwilling to interrupt the prayer, was anxious that an interview should take place, which would increase the interest of the scene by an exhibition of gratitude, repentence, resigna- tion, and charity. The African and the American knelt together, and continued in prayer. The con- vict had made all the necessary preparations fot leaving this world. He had acknowledged the liuilt of his intention and felt that exquisite effect of liis penitence, which proves the sufficiency of atonement. He wished to die. The African remained as long as the laws ot the prison allow- ed, and visited his brother, as he called him, until the moment of their eternal separation. They were together in prayer tbe whole of the night pieced- ing the execution, and walked hand in hand to the place wbere the irons are struck off, full of that reli gion which leaves no terror upon the heart. Ciffin tell in the midst of prayer. The Ordina- ry, upon quitting the melancholy scene, declated that he never saw stronger symptoms of the energy of religion than in the mind of this poor uneducated and almost friendless man. The Sheriffs had delayed the execution upwards of a quarter an hour beyond the appointed time, in the expectation of an order for a farther re- spite, and all those who knew the circumstances, and observed the conduct of the unfortunate foieign er, showed an anxiety the most indescribable. The African black excited the most interest. He told the Sheriffs and the Oidinary that he had expe rienced such kindness and improvement here, as to wish for an opportunity ot going once more amongst his counrymen, to render them all the sei vices deriv- ed from his experience in England. An application is to be to some ot the principal Membets of the At- tican Societies upon the subject. So moved was every body who witnessed the conduct that a sub- scription was made upon the spot. A fellow named Ashton, was apprehended un- der the very scaffold the moment Caffin fell, for picking a Gentleman's pOcket of a handkerchief He was conducted to the Mansion House, from whence he was immediately committed to Newgate by the Lord Mayor. The complainant, Mr Hol- land, expressed great unwillingness to prosecute, but ihe Lord Mayor insisted upon it, declar- ing at the same lime that it was one of those rare pi oofs of crime which leave no hopeof reformation.' Ashton is but 16 years of age. EDINBURGH, Aug. 30. On Monday forenoon, a boat with 12 men, go- ing off to a cutter in Leith Roads, was upset when about half wav by a sudden squall. The accident was obseived from the shore and from some vessels at anchorj and b- ats were instantly dispatched, and reached in time to save the whole of the crew , some of whom could not have kept up magy minutes long- er. In the afternoon it blew a heavy gale from the eastward, during which a boat, with two men, fiom Leiihj endeavouting to make Newhaven pier, was driven among the rocks to leeward, and soc- n filled with water. A boat from Newhayen attempt- ed their relief, but could not come near from the heavy sea. Seveial people from the shore then at- tempted their rescue, and wading into the water, linked by each other, the tallest of them got near enough to throw a rope, by means of which the men were, with much difficulty and danger, got a- shore. As a proof of the great increase of tiade of the port of Leith, no lees than 480 vessels have alrea- dy arrived this year, with cargoes from foreign parts, being 261 more than last year, at the same period. The number of clearances at the custom- house, Glasgow, on Thursday se'ennight, greatly exceed- ed that of any day for many years past. Wednesday, in tbe Police Court, a soldier of the 71st regt. found guilty of stealing a variety of articles of wearing apparel fiom a public- house in the Cowgate, was sentenced to 30 days' confine- ment in Bridewell. Thursday, in the same court, two chairmen were fined half- a- guinea each, for overcharging a gentle- Yesterday, the sitting Magistrate in the Police Court lined a dealer in potatoes a guinea, for sell- ing with deficient measuies ; he was aUo bound in a penalty of five pounds for his future good behavi- our. A most diabolical attempt to blow up a gentle- man's gate in the neighborhood ot Ruthetgjen wan made about 9 o'clock on Monday evening last. A bomb shell had been procured, charged with gun- powder, and a hole dug m the ground immediately under the gate, for its reception, which upon being fired, burst with a tremendous, noise, to the gtest alarm of the whole neighbourhood. Luckily liow- ever, though it took place near a public road, and at lhat early hour, no peison was hurt by the explo- sion, neither was the gate much injured, the bomb having, instead of a peipendicular ascent token an- oblique direction, scattering its splinters all around to the distance of seveial hundred yards. One of these broke a piece out of the lintel of a window, damaged the frame, and broke one ot the panes, k* a nigiibouring hou> e ; had it struck two cr three nches lower, some of the inhabitants most likely would have been killed } another splinter it appear* ascended with a gi eater angle, over the roots of several houses and lodged in the earth at a great distance where the shell exploded ; a third stiuck t e trunk of a young tree, which it nearly cut half through, and otherwise greatly ir. juted. Two frag- ments of the shell have been found. The noise of the explosion was not only most alarming, but from its violence caused, according to the repoit of a ser- vant who was alone in the kitchen of a house at a considerable distance, the floor to tremble even be- fore the noise was heard.

Arri- ved at Spithead, on Sunday morning se'en. fright, in the ship Caesar, Captain Taylor, his Ex- cellency Lord Amherst. His Lordship sailed from Portsmouth on the 9th of February 1816, on an embassy to the Court of I'ekin, 011 board his Majes- ty's frigate Alceste, Captain Murray Maxwell, ac- companied by the Lyra brig of war, Captain Basil Hall, and the Geneial Hewitt Indiaman, Captain Campbell. His Lordship touched at Madeira, Rio Janiero, the Cape of Good Hope, and Batavia : and the voyage was extraordinary for its rapidity, the ships hiving traversed 14,000 miles in 92 days under Sail. In the begirimng of July the embassy ariived on the coast of China, and proceeded up the Yel- low Sea: having been joined by Sir George Staunton, at Great Lemma: Sir George havifig been sent down to say the embassy would be reciev. ed with every attention. On the 9th of August the embassy disembarked safely in the Gulf of Pe Cheli, which is not far distant from the capi- tal. Whilst on the journey every effort was made by the Mandarins to induce his Excellency to com- ply with the Tartar ceremony of the Ka- fan, which was resisted on the ground of the pte- cedent of Lord Macarteny; but every demon- stration of respect, consistent with the dignity of his Sovereign, and the honour of his nation, was freely offered by his Excellency. The degrading ceremony of kneeling and knocking the head ( the literal expression in Chinese) nine times against the ground, is not only demanded from the ambas- sadors of all tiibutary kings ( as every sovereign of the world is indiscriminately called), when in the Imperial presence, but likewise on receiving any message from the Emperor, and on broken victuals being sent to them fiom his table ; and this was ac- tually submitted to by the Dutch in 1795. The Chinese, for obvious reasons, were extremely an- xious for the performance of this ceremony by a British Ambassador; and threats, flatteries, and lies in abundance, were used in order to induce compli- ance, but all in vain. A most extraordinary scene at the palace of Yeuen- Min- Yuen, which, with ma- fly other singular circumstances attending the de- parture from Pekin, and the journey of four months through the celestial empire, will very soon be laid before the pubiic. The Emperor, a man of an impe- tuous and capricious disposition, incieased by a ha- bit of constant inebriation, seemed, in his cooler moments, afiaid of the consequences of his abrupt dismissal of the embassy, as appeared by his sending after it, to request some exchange of presents and expressing himself satisfied of the respectful feel- ings ot the King of England, who had sent so far to pay him homage, attributing the whole blame of the affair to the unmannerly conduct of the Ambas- sador, who refused to knock head, as in duty bound, and according to the common rules of politeness. The embassy, on the tour through China, expe- perienced the most peifect respect. The Alceste andLyra, alter landing the embassy, were employed in surveys : the former taking the Gulf of Leatory and coast of Corea, the latter the south- western coast of that gulf. The Alceste went as far as the junction of the Great wall of China with the sea, which was seen from the ship. Both ships joined company at Che- a- Tou, or Ze- a- Tou Islands. Tiie true positions of the coasts and islands of Chi. ^ n JVtaiy, and much useful hydrographical know- ledge, were obtained, whereby former errots are corrected. Steering afterwards for the Corean • hore they found former geographical descriptions of it mist rably defective ; and an archipelago of is- lands, hitherto unknown to exist, were discovered. Many were christened with particular names, and coirect charts made of the true position of the whole. The ships then proceeded to the south- ward of Japan, and arrived at the Lieon Kicon is- lands. M ire hydrographical knowledge was ob- tained, and an intimate acquaintance formed with the na'ives, of whom, hitherto, little was known, and themselves scarce knowing any thing about the rest of the world. At Grand Leuchen, the chief of this kingdom of islands, the ships refitted, among a race of people as extraordinary for their diminutive size as for their general character. They are of great antiquity and considerable civilisation— pos- sess much of the rigid natural j- ralously and reserve of their neighbours, the Japanese and Chinese. On farther acquaintance, they were found an interest- ing people ; in tbe highest degree kind and hospita- ble ; and after a stay of six weeks, both parties se- p . rated v. ith evident proofs of mutual regret. We are informed from good authority, that Captain Basil Hall ( of the Lyra) is preparing an account of this island and people; as also a general history of scientific objects connected with the voyage ; which will be enriched with charts and engravings. From his superior intelligence on hydrographical and scientific subjects in general, a work from his hands cannot fail of being highly interesting The Alceste and Lyra arrived at the mouth of the Tigris, in November, and were treated with every indignity by the Viceroy of Canton, who re- fused a pass for the ships to enter the river, as had been granted to the Lion, on a former occa- sion, thus attempting to cut off the supply of fresh water and provisions which could only be brought on board by stealth, after dark, and various other insults were offered. Captain Maxwell justly con- sidering that the honour of the flag must suffer by a tame submission, proceeded up without a pass. The Mandarins 6trongly manned the forts ( containing 110 pieces of cannon) at the Boca Tigris, and sent out a message,' as the ship advanced that they would sink her ( the Alceste), if she attempted to pass through. She, nevertheless, pushed on, and war warm firing commenced from the forts and their junks, which was immediately return by the Alceste, which getting within pistol- shot of their largest fort, a well- aimed broadside was poured in, which laid a number sprawling, and fairly drove the rest heels over head out of the battery. The ship now proceeded up to her safe and proper anchorage, followed but unmolested, by the war junks. Next day the Viceroy ( having now been treated the right \ cav) sent down a high Mandarin to congratulate the Captain on his arrival in the river, this Manda- rin having passed Captain Maxwell in his way down, who, in the meantime, had gone up to Canton to demand further reparation for tbe insult offered to the King's ship. On Tuesday the 28th January, his Majesty's ships Alceste and Lyra sailed from Macao Roads ; the former having on board his Excellency aod suite, returnisg from his mission from the Court of Pekin. On the Sd of February the Alceste arrived w at Manilla, and the Lyra on the 5th, when she went with his Excellency's dispatches to Ben'gal. The Alceste was proceeding into the Straits of Sunda, through the Straits of Gaspar, when she unfortunately struck OD » cotal reef on the morning of flic I Sth February, and shortly filled. Noiivee were lost on this occasion. The ambassador and his suite, wirh some of the ct ew, were immediate- ly put on shore en the Island of Pulo Leat, a'short di- tance from the wreck. It was d- ecided after Loid Amherst's remaining one night on the island, that his Lordship and suite should attempt to make- Batavia, ( distant 200 miles in two boats, attended by Lieut. Hoppner, and Messrs Mayrie, Cook, and Blair, and they ar- rived after four days of much fatiguejand hardship, from want of water, at Batavia. His Lordship, without a moment's delay, dispatched the Compa- ny's cruiser Feroate, with Mr Ellis, the secretary of embassy, volunteer, to the assistance of those left behirfd. She beat against the wind and current for a considerable time, and at last got sight of the island. Thepartyleft obtainedsomeprovisions which had floated up, and ; by careful management, they made shift to live there ( having obtained, by digging, some fresh water) from the 18th of February to the 7th of March. During this period they were beset by the savages of the neighbouring islands, who, after plundering and burning the ship, blockaded the party on shoie '; they, with a very few regular arms, kept them at bay. In an attempt to seize the remaining boats, ten of them, one morning, were variously disposed of by Lieut. Hay; some were shot, and others were drowned'. The adventures in the island were rather of a romantic and unusual cast. The conduct of CaptaWi Maxwell, in his general management of affairs, as well as means of defence, is spoken of in high admiration by his officers— it displayed coolness and powerful reflection, under a sudden pressure of difficulties and a combination of dangers more than Sufficient to have overwhelm- ed an ordinary mind'. At Batavia, the Caesar was taken up to bring home his Excellency and suite, with the officers and men of the Alceste; she touched at the Cape, St Helsna, ahd Ascension, on her way to England. Concerning the interior of China We have been able to obtain but little information. The people appear to manifest the 6ame determined mind to suf- fer no innovations in their accustomed habits; but, on the contrary, they boast of hot having gone out of the beaten tract of their forefathers : they are grossly ignorant and sensual. The country in ge- neral appeared well cultivated. They have no ca- ravans, road waggons, or any establishment si- milar to our post; consequently, in the interior, the people had not heard of the Nepaul war, nor, ih deed, did they appear even to know where that country was situate. It appears impossible to esti- mate the population, as the people are not enrolled, nor has a census ever been taken. But few soldiers were. seen ; the greatest number of any one body did not exceed 600. They are composed of four de- scriptions of men, viz. Matchlocks ( usually in a bad state), archers ( who occasionally act as cavalry), spearmen, and tigers oj tvar, who are the Em- peror's body guard ; they are armed with a short sword and target, and enveloped in a yellow mantle gorgeously decorated with tigers heads, to render their appearance formidable. The King's internal revenue is collected in kind, after the man- ner of our tithes. The collecting junks ate 6aid to amount to 20,000, set off' for the farther parts of the empire, and with the change of the Monsoon from the westward they all return and unload their cargoes of all species of grain into public granaries, from whence it is sold to the public ; this, and the customs from the export of their manufactures at Canton, comprise the entire souice of their revenue — excepting only the sale of the Governor ships, which emolument goes into the private pur6C of the Emperor.— Portsmouth Telegraph. SLAVE TRADE.— The following is from The New York Evening Post of July 16th :—" On the 24- th of June, another schooner arrived at Havan- nah fiom Africa, with a cargo consisting of 450 slaves; and we find it stated in the Boston papers, that within the month preceding more than 7000 slaves had been brought into that port and disposed of. It is strongly suspected by many that some of these slave vessels, though sailing under the Spa- nish flag, are in fact owned wholly, or in part, by American citizens. We hope not. To gain a living or amass a fortune by so cruel and disgusting a traffic, is disgraceful to civilised man. A Dublin paper says, " The advantages of the new mail- coach to Holyhead were fully proved by the result of the first trial of it; the letters which left London on Tuesday evening, the 5th instant, having arrived in Dublin on Thursday, in time to be delivered. According to the former regulations these letters could not have been delivered before ten on Friday morning. A great deal, however, is still necessary to be done to make the convey- ance of the mail as pei fect as it may be made, so that the English letters may reach Dublin in time, on the second evening from London, to be dis- patched to the country by the Irish mail- coaches. This great object may be secured next year, in con- sequence ofthe extensiveimprovement now going on upon the Welsh roads and the completion of Howth harbour. We all feel here much indebted to the English Past Office and to the liberality of Parlia- ment, for having of late done so much to improve the communication between the two countries." On the 16th inst. at Laithes, in the parish of Skelton, Cumberland, a rare and beautiful bird, of milk- white plumage, supposed to be ofthe swallow geuus, was shot by Mr Jopp, of Blencow. This curious anomaly was hatched at Blencow- hall, and had been seen for the last three weeks in various parts of the neighbourhood, but mostly near the banks of the river Petteril. from the many fruit- less attempts to catch it, the country people had imagined it to be the harbinger and cause of the late unfavourable weather. Mr Spencer, of Durham, schoolmaster, has at present a brood of well grown young partridges following a hen. They are qui> o domesticated, and may frequently be seen in the public stieet, in front of Mr Spencer's house. PAIUA, August 21— They write from Poland that a forester, having heard that a reward of five hundred crowns was offered to any person who v; ouid kill a wolf which was the terror ofthe neigh- bourhood, resolved to obtain it. The furious ani- mal, accustomed during the late campaigns to live upon the dead bodies of soldiers, would not attack the flocks, but used to fly upon the shepherds and devoured them. The forester took his child, only about two years old, ar. d fastened it to a tu- e, near his cottage, with a view to attract the animal, while he remained upon the watch with a musket. The wolf came and was instantly killed ; the infant sustained no injury, and the man claimed the le ward. STATE OF THE COUNTRY. The harvest has commenced very generally in Norfolk. The crops are fine in the extreme; though the wheats are not in general very thick on the land, yet they are abundantly corned and heavy in the ear. The weather has been showery at intervals for the last week ; but though much wheat is down, it lias received no injury from it. The rain has fallen so lightly as scarcely to interrupt tlie carrying. Sam- ples of new wheat were shown in Norwich com market on Saturday last, and some bargains were made at 93a. per quarter. Samples of new wheat at Ipswich market, oh Friday last, ' fetched 50s. a coomb. As a proof that commerce is. reviving, there are more ships on the stocks at this time, in oui port, than have been recollected for these twenty years— Yarmouth Herald. We are hapuy to announce the following facts, as they are decisive pioofs that the manufactures of our town are in a very impioving state :— The mills for the rolling of metals are now in full and con- stant work, and packing- box boards, which a short time back could scarcely find a purchaser, are now eageily bought up, and the makers of that article are so completely employed that it is with difficulty boxes can be piocured.— Birmingham Herald. In the opinion of some experienced commercial men, more mercantile busineis has been transacted in Liverpool, during the last three months, than in any former period of the same length since the es- tablishment of the port. Flour and cotton have been the leading articles of import. The exports have comprised almost every product of our domes- tic and colonial industry.— Liverpool Advertiser. In addition to our previous statements of the flat- tering aspect of business in this district, we have the pleasure to report, that last Tuesday's market evinced an activity, fully surpassing its precursors, of reviving prosperity. The manufacturers ot Black- burn, Burnley and Colne, have lately given an ad- vance of 6d. per cut for yarn.— Manchester Mer- cury. Since Thursday last we have had fine dry wea- ther, and every prospect of a continuance of it ; so that we may hope lor a well secured harvest.— Liverpool Advertiser, Flai vest commenced at Sunk Island on Wednes- day last, with a very favourable prospect. We are informed that barley has also been cut near Hedon, and that in several parts of this neighbourhood the same operations are going forward. The late heavy rains have not had the usual effect of laying the coin, the stalk is so strong.— Hull Packet. The harvest may be late, but more experienced persons than we pretend to be in such matters, as- sert, that it will still be abundant. Even if it should not, the country cannot suffer for provisions as it did last year.— The granaries are full, and corn will continue to be imported until the middle of No- vember— Dublin Evening Post. On Tuesday the weather here was generally fa vourable, and yesterday was altogether such as to exhilarate the spirits of the farmer. New Oats brought 28s. per barrel. Gieat quantities of Oats have been already brought under the sickle in tin county, and are of the finest description. The change in the appearance of the growing crops since Saturday is remarkable, and the husbandman's hope is now as sanguine as ever that the harvest will be abundant and the grain excellent. The calculations ot Dr Herschell, to which we alluded in a for- mer number, were formed on an experience of £ 0 years, and have generally been found very accurate as was admitted last year during the singular varia tions of the barometer.— Kilkenny Moderator LIMERICK, Aug. 21.— The weather has not, ge nerally, been as much to the wishes of the farmer as it might, be ; and the crops have, in some places, suffered in their appeaiance, from the great quanti ty of rain that has fallen ; but there is nothing yet regret or to apprehend* A few days of dry weather would retrieve every thing that looks un favourably. Some corn fields. Which have been lodged where the rain has fallen heaviest, are sus- ceptible of recovery, even from a slight change of weather ; and there is every reason to calculate up- on such a reformation in the season as will effect this object. The strength and vigour of the Crops in general, will enable them to resist a much great- er degree of wet than they have yet experienced ; and, so far, there is a security strongly in favour of the husbandman's hopes and expectations.— Lime- rick Chronicle. There has not been known for many months so busy a day on ' Change as yesterday was, no less than 75 vessels were reported inwards, with vari- ous cargoes, some of them consisting of corn, We have understood that the Russian Govern- ment has recently given orders for British manu- factures to an amount little short of Two Millions sterling. We believe that colonial produce to a far greater amount has been exported to other parts of the continent. Harvest has commenced in several farms in the neighbourhood of Dumfries, in a very luxuriant field of barley in the vicinity of Maxweltown t at Priestlands, an excellent held of wheat ; and, at Greenbrae, on the road to Tothorwald, some bar- ley has also been cut. Much grain, however, will not be reaped for two or three weeks. The late heavy and almost incessant rains, do not appear to have been attended with the calamitous consequences to the crops, which might have been anticipated, and we would gladly hope that the weathei has as sumed a more favourable character, the barometer having risen gradually for the last three days, and the clouds having assumed a less watery appearance. Accounts from other places correspond with this statement.— Greenock Advertiser. After sixteen days of almost uninterrupted rain, the wind, on Wednesday night, shifted to the north ward, and the weather has since become fine, and propitious to the hopes of the husbandman. The ac- counts from all parts of the country agree in stating that the crops are most abundant; and we have heard that in some places, where last year the land yielded 20 bushels an acre, it will this year produce 40.— Bath Journal. The harvest is now every where rapidly proceed- ing around this neighbourhood, though it experienc ed some interruption from the indifferent state of weather in the commencement of the week. Eve- ry description of grain, and the wheat in particu- lar, amply supports the favourable anticipation en- tertained of the bountifulness ot its crop,— Exeter. Gazette* The wheat harvest is now become quite general in this county, and of the superiority of the crops, both in quantity and quality, the sheaves bear am- ple testimony, and than which no better evidence of the fact can be required— Brighton Herald. The Wheat harvest has commenced almost uni- versally throughout the country, and a considerable progress been made during the few past days. The weather is now not Only free from showers, but the most genial crops that Could be wished,— Hamp- shire Telegraph. Several fields of corn ( oats and wheat) have been cut down in this neighbourhood within the last few days ; the crops are unusually abundant, and not- withstanding the late heavy rains, but very little in jury has been sustained. The weathei is at present promising, and we have every reason to hope* un- der the favour of Providence, that most of the ear- ly crops will be harvested in the best condition. Nottingham Journal. We cannot too often impress Upon our readers the fact, that the manufactutes and commerce of this country continue to recover from their late de- pression. This gratify'fcg Intelligence, more gra- tifying to the people of England than any other which could be communicated; for it includes al! that is now wanting to replace us i'ti our former con- dition of wealth, tranquillity and happiness, we have always been eager to Communicate, and it is with infinite satisfaction we add, to our past ac counts, the following particulars relating to the trade of Liverpool:— " In the opinion of some experienced commerci- al men, more mercantile business has been transac- ted in Liverpool, during the last thiee mdntlis, than in any foimer period of the same length, since the establishment ot the port. Flour and Cotton have been the leading articles of import. The ex- ports have comprised almost every product of our domestic and colonial industry."— Liverpool Ad- vertiser. DEAF AND DUMB INSTITUTION. We mentioned in a late Journal the expected vi- sit of Mr Kinniburgh to this city, for the purpose of explaining and illustrating the plan of the Edin- burgh Deaf and Dumb Institution ; and thus mak- ing more generally known the benevolent objects of that Society, and the incalculable benefits to be de- rived from the establishment of similar institutions in this northern part of the island. Mr Kinniburgh held his first public exhibition on Monday, in the Public School of Marischal College in ptesence of the Professors of the University, the Magistrates, Clergy, and a very numerous assemblage of the te- pectable inhabitants; and we will Venture to say, that a more gratifying, a more interesting and affec- ting spectacle, never was pi esenteij to the benevo- lent and reflecting mind, Mr Kinniburgh prefaced the illustration of his plan by an address to the au- ditory, in which he depicted, in strong and impres- sive colours, the helpless and deplorable condition of the objects of the Society's care ; and adverting to the general ignorance that prevailed as to the ca- pability of the Deaf and Dumb to receive instruc- said, that in order to refute this unfounded prejudice, he should satisfy himself by referring to the progress made by his own pupils. He then gave a scientific explanation of the usual cause of Dumbness £ adverted to the successive attempts that had been made in different countries of Europe, to impart instruction to this unhappy class of our fel- low mortals 5 and after a short account cf the Edin- burgh Institution, he concluded, by calling upon those whom Providence had more highly favoured, to join heart and hand in the exertions which were now making to impait the blessings of knowledge to the Deaf and Dumb. The object ( he feelingly said) was one of the noblest which could engage the attention of humanity. Deprived of every souice of mental enjoyment; bereft of the usual mode of communication between man and man 5 ignorant of the purpose for which their Maker had given them the faculty of reason ; what situation could be so helpless, so hopeless, as that of the Deaf and Dumb 1 With minds alive to the pleasures, sus- ceptible of the enjoyments of humanity, they pass tlnough life in sullen or thoughtless melancholy; amidst multitudes', they are in solitude; and they go down to the grave, unaquainted with the Chris- tian's hope,— unsupported by the Christian's conso- lation — Such were the objects for whom he pled; and confident he was he should not plead in vain. Mr Kinniburgh then proceeded to exhibit the progress he had made in removing from his pupils these Calamitous and afflicting imperfections of their nature. The fiist specimen exhibited was that of " spelling on the fingers." Two of his pupils went over the Lord's Prayer in this way with a rapidity which was inconceivable. He then gave his pupils some exercises in Arithmetic, which they executed with a degree ot quickness and accuracy equal to what most boys of their age could have done. Of their " knowledge of the principles of composition," they showed convincing proof, by writing down various accounts of given subjects 5 exhibiting at ortce their progress ib the acquirement of this know- ledge, and iri the art of thinking. Their " defini- tions of words, simple and abstract," particularly those given by the oldest boy, were such as would have shamed many people possessed of those valu- able endowments Which nature has denied to them. Their " religious knowledge, shown from the As- sembly's Catechism, and the History of the Life of Christ," was at once gratifying to pious and hu- mane feeling, ahd honourable to their worthy teach- er. Their " articulation" was also remarkably dis- tinct. One of the younger boys, particularly re- peated the " Lord's Prayer" in a manner that drew tears from the eyes of many in the room. With a voice divinely sweet, he seemed to send up his art- less piayer to the throne of God, in humble grati- tude to his Maker for the restoration of this distin- guishing faculty of his kind. The eldest pupil then exhibited a specimen Of " diction by signs" to the younger ones ; and the exhibition closed by Mr Kinniburgh reading a few of their unprompted let- ters to him, which exhibited the gradual expansion of their several minds, from the first dawnings of thought, up to the almost perfect development of the reasoning faculty.— But here we muRt stop, for we feel it impossible adequately to describe the sen- sations excited in our mind, on witnessing the con- summation produced by the labours of this wonder- ful mam He was greeted, on sitting down, with the universal acclamations of the Whole company* whom one only feeling seemed to pervade— that of aiding and assisting him in his " labour of love." At the conclusion of the exhibition, the Rev. Principal BroWn rose, and addressed Mr Kinni- burgh, expressing the very high gratifications with which he, in common with all who heard him, had witnessed the benign effects of his exertions j and concluding with a proposal for the establishment of a Society in this place, auxiliary to the institution in Edinburgh for the education of the deaf and dumb. The motion was seconded by the Lord Provost ; after which) the Revi Dr Skene Ogilvy, in a speech of much energy and feeling, supported the proposition, which was received by the meeting with the Warmest marks of approbation. Mr Kinniburgh repeated his exhibition yesterday; to a company even more numerous than ob Mon- day, and with increased delight to all vvhd attend- ed it. In " articulation," the elder pupil gave a still further manifestation of the perfection of his powers, by carrying on a conversation with Mr Kinniburgh. The exhibition and examination left the impressions of the preceding day still mote deep- ly fixed in the minds of the auditors J and excited the most ardent desire to co- operate in the establish- ment of an Institution Itl this place, as proposed at the meeting on Monday. Accordingly, as soon as the company dismissed, a meeting was held in the Public Hall of the University, when Resolutions to the effect intended, were proposed and carried ; and a Committee was named for carrying the design into immediate execution. PERT H. THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 4., 1817. THE Continental Journals bring nothing of the smallest interest. The Paris papers inform us that the Archbishop of Rheims ( Talleyrand) has been advanced to the dignity of Cardinal, and describe, with an edifying minuteness, the various formalities which were observed at his admission. A description equally interesting is given of the Fete of St Lewis, which was celebrated on the 25; h ult. with unusual pomp and splendour. The French papers contain an article from Ma- drid, which is perhaps of greater moment than all the other intelligence they convey : we allude to a kind of circular document issued by the Spanish Government, by which it appears) that Ferdinand it now determined to punish as rebels the different in- dividuals who haVe been chiefly instrumental in ex- citing and promoting the insurrection in South A- merica. Eight classes bf insurgents are enumerated among the offenders Who aie to be punished capi- tally J and the sentence given against them is re- commended to be carried into execution with the utmost promptitude, that the rebellious may be over- awed, and the inhabitants in general retained with- in the bounds of obedience'. This severe measure will give rise to a species of warfare still more' bloO'dy and atrocious than has yet been resorted to ; but we trust, for the interests of humanity, it Will be the means of rescuing more speedily the Spanish Colonies from the oppression of their unnatural mo- ther. The reports of a Cortgress at Carlsbad, announc- ed with so much confidence in several of the Eng- lish Journals, and in which every remaining differ- ence of the European Powers was to be finally ad- justed,- have gradually died away ; and it is now stated that the supposed Plenipotentiaries who as- sembled at that plate have separated without having once thought of discussing, in an official capacity* the affairs either of the Old, or the New Woildi There appears therefore to be no foundation for the rurtiour that Russia was to supply Spain with a mi- litary and naval force to asaist the latter in reducing her colonies. Amidst the discordant statements Which are still given of the affairs of the Insurgents in Sohth Ame- rica, it is extremely difficult to come to any thing like an accurate opinion with respect to the opera- tions of the two contending parties. In the western parts of the peninsula the Patriots have undoubted- ly been successful, but it is by no means certain that their cause has beert equally prosperous in Mexi- co; On the Contrary the American papers affirm that there the Royalists have been every where suc- cessful, and that they have been joined by several of the Patriot Generals with considerable bodies of men. This seems extremely doubtful. The manufactutes of the country are represented to be reviving rapidly from the state of depression in which they have unfortunately existed so long { and to this cheering prospect it is added, that the fabrication of printed goods is daily declining in France, in consequence of the greater cheapness, and superior excellence of the British calicoes, which, in these respects, can admit of no rtvalshi^- Mr Kinnibutgh, we are glad to hear, gives one more exhibition this evening, after which he in- tends to visit the principal towas in the north, pre- vious ts his return to Edinburgh.— Aberdeen Jour- nal, We regret to find that the Soup- kitchen for the poor of this place is about to be entiiely abandoned, after a trial of upwards of two years, during which its beneficial effects have been clearly proved, and Werfe becoming every day more apparent. The public have thus willingly relinquished all the ad- vantages of this excellent scheme, after the truly indigent have been separated from the unworthy mendicants who formerly infested the streets of this city ; and; after much useful experience has been acquired in managing-, in the most economical man-* ner, the concerns of the establishment. Let them no longer complain of the evils of public begging ; for those who are really in poverty and distress, must be supported ; and not they only, but with them all the idle and disorderly vagrants who for- merly shared with them whatever was bestowed by a reluctant and indiscriminating charity. The con- sequence of all this will be a compulsory assessment, a mode of providing for the poor which, however necessary in such cases as the present, is equally hurtful to the moral feelings of the giver and re- ceiver. While we are anxious to bestow our meed of praise on the unwearied and disinterested ex- ertions of the individuals by whom the affairs cf the establishment have been so long and so well conducted, we legret to be under the necessity of mentioning that the scheme seems to have fallen to the ground, chiefly from the want of public spirit evinced by certain individuals in official situations, who; on the present occasion) ought to have set an example of liberality to the test of the community. As we understand the public clocks of this city, under the care of Mr Greig, aie in future to be re- gulated to mean time, by adjusting them weekly with an excellent Chronometer in the possession of Mr Anderson, their accuracy may now be relied upon with the utmost confidence! The adjustment will be made regularly at the beginning of the week> A considerable quantity of cheese has lately been stolen; ftom several gentlemen's dairies injthe Carse of Gowrie-, not far from Perth. As such pecula- tions have taken place repeatedly, In the same dis- trict, it is hoped that a vigilant magistracy will be able to check the evil ; and that, by the establish- ment and liberal support of the Sabbath schools for the religious instruction and moral discipline of youth, which are now happily spreading over the country the principle of honesty in the great body of our population, will be eminently promoted. FINGASK HERMIT, IN THE CARSE OF GOWRIE; —- This venerable character, who has, for a long time, inhabited a cave of great rural beauty and re- tirement, in the braes of the Carse, near Fingask j and who was, perhaps, one of the most innocctt of beings, has lately disappeared. His disappc.. ance has naturally occasioned considerable uneasi- ness to those, who were in the habit of frequenting his abode, and who considered him to be one of the interesting spectacles of the place. Sp'me cir- cumstarces have occurred, which make tt. highly probable that he has been forcibly carried W, ai> d that a few young nven in the neighbourhood have been the wicked oerpetrators of the deed. Thig they could do with the greater facility, as he never Used his voice— seemingly inca'pabfe of doinn so, whatever might be the cold or he^ t of. his exposed residence. Indeed, his insensibility to externa) good and evil was so perfect, that none living ever saw l. im langh or smile, or change his attitude. His beard w; is extremely long, and his rainment lately renewed ; and it is suspected that it was to get J) OS'. ea « io6 of these that the villaneous deed has been perpetrated. So- me magistrates of the country have very properly taken an active part in the en- deavour to bring the guilt home to those accused, but hitherto without effect. He has not been yet heard of. His cross and some small articles have been picked up on the neighboili ing hills, which ex- . cites a painful apprehellsion, that something worse th: rn theft may have happened. We are sorry to find from our Correspondents, that '. he observation', in our last number, respecting the extraordinary collection, made at our church doors, for the poor on Sabbath, the 22th ult. and the miserable pittance generally given, by the better • soft of people in the place on ordinary Sabbaths, have seemed to them ILL- TIMED. NOW, we think that nothing could be better timed : for when should the sufficiency or insufficiency of a charity collection be remarked, if it be not when it is offered ?— Is it ill timed to tell those, who fare sumptuously every day, and have property which justify them in c'oiog • o, that a sixpence or a shilling, as their extrao di- nary gift to a starving poor, is^ ireposterous i— It i ill timed to tell those, who have their th6usands, or their tens of thousands from their fathers, or who have amassed these, " through the blessing of a kind Providence, that a half- penny or a penny, as their ordinary Sabbath gift to the poor, is a ludicrot s compromise of their respectability ?— Is it ill timed to tell those* who, amidst the fluctuations of tiade, and the ruin of many hundreds through that fluc- tuation, tetain an ample competency, that they oug! t, St. least, to double their contributions to the relief ot those who have sunk around them ?— Is it ill timed to expose the niggardly calculations of those, wl o reply to every solicitation on the part of the indi- jgent, by summing up the hundreds they have lost, instead of the thousands they have gained, in trade ? — Is it ill timed to a- k them, if their alms to the poor at tbe door of the Sanctuary, correspond with theii prayers for them, within the Sanctuary, and il the deficiency of the latter may not be suspected, from the meagieness of the former I— III timed !•— evny thing is ill- tinned, in the estimation of those, whom it calls upon tb make some exertion contra ry to their humour, vanity, or interest, and paiticu larly their inordinate love of money, which is the root of all evil. But . we do not c n ider the cas- . desperate. There is much good sterling priu. cipl 1 among us— many unostentatious and liberal bene- factors of the poor; and it m ty tUtiefofe be hoped that an exposure of the evil will speedily produce a remedy, in as fat as theii example and ir. fiuencecango. On Thursday last the P(? irhshire Bible Society held its filth annual meeting, in the Guild Hall of this citv ;— tbe Right Hon. Lord Guy, President* in the Chair, The meeting, as we noticed in Our last number, was highly respectable, and more numerously at- tended than on any former occasion. The Repoit of the Committee having been read by the Rev. Mr Ornie, one of the Secretaries J a statement of the receipts and disbtt1 sefficnts of the society was Uid before the meeting by Mr Andefson, the Trea- surer. It appeared from the statement delivered, that the whi le of the receipts of the society this year, amount to £ 4, j5 : 16 : 4^; Of this sum, jfiT'i : 15 : 8 has been received in the form of do- nations. and annual subscriptions; and £ 3* 10 Us. 1. in co « t> ibiitions from the following societies: Abcrnethy Auxiliary Bible Society, Alyth ( lo. ....

The thanks of the meeting were voted to his Grace the Duke of A- tholl, for his pationage ; to the Right Hon. Lord Gray, for his active co operation in the business ol the society ; and to the Directors and Gflice- bear- era of the society, for their continued and zealous attention to the objects of the Institution. The business of the Society having been disposed of, the thanks of the meeting were unanimously voted to the noble President, for his Lordship's presence on the occasioo, and for the very polite and appro- priate manner in which he had conducted the busi Dos of the day. In proposing and seconding the usbal rnotiohs, the meeting was addressed with much eloquence : ind ability by the following gentlemen : Mr Murray of Ayton ; the Rev.

COUNTERFEIT SHILLINGS..—- We understand that some counterfeit shillings have appeared in this city, of a pretty good imitation. The date and the mill- ing on the edge are the sarrie as on the legal coin ; but the two are easily distinguished by comparing the letter^ F: D: those on the base coin want- ing the dots of D, The letter M of the MAL . y. On the opposite side is very badly executed. The counterfeits aie plated on cupper, have a bluish ap- pearance, and very soon turn ted on the edge j they are. also 10 grains lighter than tbe good shillings. We are happy to bear that Mtt KlNNiBUltGll, the celebrated teacher of the Deaf and Dumb in Edinburgh, in to be in this place to exhibit the pro- gress of his . pupils on the 12th current. It will be g'atifying to many of our readers to know that the boy John Fenton, is among the pupils who will be present and give specimens of their acquirements. The Meetings are to be in the Guild Hall. The petuliaiity of, the case will make the Meetings nume- rously attended. See Advertisement; and an Extract from the Aberdeen Journal.

COMMITTEE of tbe EDINBURGH INSTI- 1 TU HON lor the EDUCATION of the DEAF aud DUMB, in reflecting on the means of extending the be- nefits of the Institution to every corner of Scotland where a Deaf or Dumb Child is to be found, have considered it not a little extraordinary, thst the Northern Counties of this Kingdom have appeared to take stf little interest in the success of the Institution. This apparent indifference they can ascribe to nothing but the want of information with respect to its ohject and purpose ; they have there- fore requested MR KINN1BURGH to visit the princi- pal towns in the North, w. th a few ofhis Pupils for the purpose of showing the inhabitants of those districts the progres- already made in accomplishing the object of the Institution.
