Post Chaises may be had ready on landing at Pettycur and Burntisland, signals being previously made in the steam boat. The communication to Perth is sis miles shorter by Burntisland than by Qoeensferry, and the expence ol travelling very much lessened, owing to- the great dimi- nution of the length of land conveyance. To the inhabi tants of Dunfermline, and the adjoining district, the pro- posed communication by Aberdour cannot fail to atiord great accommodation ; the distance being two miles shorter than by Quceusfcrry, and seven miles of land carriage jteved, 1' eUj/ cnr, Ju. an 11, 1HS1.

T\ Ksiay the. 19th, toojcplaca at the Old London Tavern, the Anniversary Din- ner of the National School Society. . Thg Duke of York was in tho chair, supported by t5: e Archbishop of Canterbury, the Bishops of Loudon and Landaff, Sir ClatitltU3 Hunter, Sir Charles Flower, & c. & c. The health- of the King was given am! drank with appropriate . warmth ; and the- plaudits, had scarcely ced^ ed when the; toast master announced, in a loud voice, as the ne:: t health, " the Queen and the reF); ot the Rovr. l Family." Who . shall describe " thu most admired disorder" which, ensued? Horror sat on almost every . face !— exclamation of horror burst from almost, every tongue ! . At length a grave man ( Mr. Oliver Hatch) arose to still the troubled waves, tit conld imagine no better mode pfrepair- ing the cruel outrage just committed on (. heir ears by so droadfula sound as the Queen, than by propos- ing that the company should again drink the health of the King, and with four times four. The sug- gestion was complied witlt but the storm . was not yet quelled, till Sir Charles Flower hit upon the hnppy expedient of turning the toast master out of tlia room,. The luckless wight was forthwith ejected, and tranquillity was restored ; but the mirth of the evening was gone, and each guest seemed to look upon the rest with suspicion, as if inquiring " which of you has done this It may lie proper to add, that the toast master protests that ho uttered no « thing but what was setdown . forhim: perhaps chance, who likes now and then to play an amusing trick, had put into his hand a list of toasts intended for another occasion. OLD BAILEY, June 9. TRIAL OP THE HERNE BAY SMUGCT. EHS. .1. West, W. Beer, T Richardson, W. Richard* son. W. Williams, and J Webster, were indicted for unlawfully assembling, with others, to the num- ber of forty or more, with fire arms, for the purpose of assisting in the illegal running aud landing contra- band goods; and also for firing at and killing Mr. Snow, a midshipman- of the Severn frigate, em- ployed in the Smuggling Preventive Service. This case excited very general interest, and occupied the time cf the Court from ten in the morning until nina in the evening. Mr. Bolland opened the pleadings, and the At- torney- General stated the facts of the case to tho Jury, and adduccd evidence. Several resectable witnesses gave West, Beer, and Williams, the best possible character for honesty and humanity.. Some of them spoke . in the highest terms of West, aud said there could not be a better or a kinder young man. The llichardsons also re- ceived a good character. Mr. Justice Bavlev summed up the case for the Jury with the utmost minuteness, and with tho strictest impartiality. The Jury then retired, and were absent twenty minutes. When they returned into Court, the most eager anxiety was manifested by the audience ; and when the verdict of Not Guilty was pronounced, a murmur of applause- ran through the Court, but was instantly checked. West exclaimed with tears in his eyes, " My Lord and Gentlemen, I thank you from the bottom of, my heart:" The other prisoners bowed gratefully, but did not speak. Mr. Justice Bay ley— Prisoners listen t9 me for one moment. You have had a most'considerate and humane Jury ; and do not, I entreat you, kt your acquittal be regarded as a triumph by you or your connections. I hope ypu will carry back to your own county this suggestion— that the traflia in which persons there arc engaged in a most danger- ous and a wicked one, and that justice must over- take them if they persist in it. In the case of to- day it has been proved that one roan has unfortu- nately been deprived of lite in consequence of it, and I hope what has occurred will make a proper impres- sion on your minds, and on the minds of others You have this day had a most striking proof of tho powerful advantage of a good character in the hour of danger.

FOLKSTONB, June 6.— Between one end two o'clock on the morning of the 7th inst, n number of smugglers, armed with duck- guns, & c. assembled iri Eastware bay, Folkstone, for their illegal purposes, but being discovered by the Officer of the naval bloc- kade stationed there, and the alarm being fired, they wheeled round, and discharged repeated vollies upon the King's Officers, in consequence of which Rich- ard WooUridgc, quarter- master, was . killed,; his body being perforated in several places. Lieut. David Peat vi as severely wounded, having been shot in va- rious- parts of his bodv with musket and pistol balls and buck- shot, eight of which have been extracted. We are happy to add, however, that hopes of his re- covery are entertained, notwithstanding the number and severity of his wounds 11. Hunter and J. Walker, both petty officers, were also severely wounded. A Coroner's Inquest n'as thi* day held upon the body of U'ooluridge, by the Mayor o£' Folkstone, which after Several hours deliberation, brought in a verdict of WilJ'ul Mnrdcr against per- sons unknown. The deceased was a man of brave and moat exemplary character, had long Served in the navy, and was universally respected bv his offi- cers. It appears he did apt firs until hie officer ha. d fallen by his side; and after having ( alien himself, was repeatedly fired on while lying on the ground, aa well as Lieutenant Peat, by these ferocious assassins, The villains did not effect the kndifig of a sirudq package ofgoods. MR. CJXXhVC $ srn FRAS. BURDETT. TO TIIE EDITOR OF TIlE MORNING CHRONICLE- Slit, St. James's- Square, June 12, 1821. Some one has forced my name to a lettet to the Editor of The Courier, authorish^ g the publication of a corre- spondence between Mr. Canning and Sir Francis Burdett. Lord William Bent. inck lias assured me he knows nothing about the matter. 1 did authenticate copies of the letters that had parsed between the two Gentleman in question. But in so doing, at the special request of Lord William Bentinck, I staled that, although Sir Francis Burdett Could have no possible objection to their publication, I . should thihk it Unbecoming on his part to be a party to it. As far as my own opinion went, of course, 1 could have opposed no obstacle to that which I thought would do so much credit to Sir Francis Burdett. But his Lordship WiTI recollect I stated my surprise if Mr. Canning should Wish to give notoriety to such a transaction. I am, Sir, vour obedient servant, DOUGLAS KJNNAIRD.

June 11, 1821. DOUGLAS KINNAIUD. " T regret the mistake into which you have fallen, more I especially as it has given rise to Mr. Kmnaird's letter of this morning, which, although ( as I am convinced, from all that has passed between us upon this oteassion) with- out the intention of the writer, seems to detract some- thing from that complete satisfaction to the feelings as well as to the honour of both the parlies principally con- cerned, with which I can truly say, Mr. Kinnaiid and I had mutually ftatteied ourselves, that this transaction had happily terminated. I am, Sir, your obedient servant. / Signed) " W. BENTINCK." The same letter mutatis mutandis appeared in The Courier of last night, with the following note addressed by the Editor of The Courier to Lord W. Bentinck, which, says the Editor. " his . Lordship wishes to be annexed to his own letter — The Editor of the Courier presents his compliments to Lord William Bentinck, and has the honour to inform him. with reference to that part of Mr. Douglas Kinnaird's letter which relates to the alleged forgery" of his jiame, that the mistake originated in a practice ordinarily adopt- ed in giving publication to the communications of Cor- respondents, viz. that of causing them to be addressed to the Editor of the Journal in which they appear. It is surely superfluous to add. that there could have existed no motive of any other kind for thus introducing the Corres- pondence." ( No. I.) i- O Sin FRANCIS BURDETT. " Gloucester Lodge, June 7, 1821. " SIR— TN a Tetter, hearing your signature, and pur- porting to have heen addressed by you to the Chairman of j a dinner of Parliamentary reformers on the 4th of April, which was published in several of ( he newspapers of the following day, a liberty is taken with my name, as little justifiable ( in my judgment) by differences of political opi- nion. a- it is reconcileable with the ordinary courtesies of private life. " The obvious meaning of that passage in your letter of which I complain, is. to impute to me. that, in upholding the present system of represen'ation in the House of Com- mon*. I am actuated by the corrupt and dishonour able motive ot'a personal pecuniary interest. " It cannot be matter of surprise to you. that I should feci myself under the necessity of requiring at your hands a disavowal of the imputation which that passage appears to convey. Should you he unable, or unwilling to afford me a satisfactory explanation upon this point, I have then tc. demand of you the only other reparation which an injury of such a nature admits. " It can hardly be necessary to state to you. Sir. the reason why this demand has not been sooner made ; but I owi it to myself to preclude the possibility of any doubt or misrepresentation as to the causes of that delay. The first and natural impulse of my own feelings was to address myself to you, the instant that I had read your letter in the newspapers. " Put it was represented to tne by the friend whom I requested to take charge of my letter, that your then situa- tion rendered it impossible for you to accept the second of the alternatives proposed to you ( a circumstance which, I must be permitted to observe, considerably aggravated the offence offered tome) ; that the utmost which 1 could ob- tain from you was an engagement to afford me satisfaction, so soon as the term of your confinement should have ex- pired ; that the interval must be full of hazard as to se- eresy ; that without in any degree impeathing either your honour, or that of any gentleman whom you might select, the mere fact ( which could hardly be concealed) of a com- munication between nie, or any friend of mine, and the King's Bench, could not fail to excite suspicion— and that such su picion would necessarily he strengthened by my prolonging my stay in England till the middle of May, after having repeatedly and publicly announced my inten- tion of waiting only for Air. Lambtou's motion of the 17th of April. " Yielding, for the time ( and T know not how I could have done otherwise), to the force of these representations, it remained for me otdy to keep my own counsel, and to quicken, as much as possible, my return from the Con- tinent. " I arrived here yesterday evening. My first business on my arrival has been to communicate with Lord \ Vm. Bentinck, who has the goodness to undertake to deliver this'letter to you, and to settle on my behalf all necessary arrangements on the matter to which it relates. I assure you. upon my honour, that I. ord Willi tm Bentinck is the only person who has any knowledge of this letter, or of my purpose to write it.

" St. James's Place, June 8, 1S2I. 11 SIR— I am not aware of having made any unjustifi- able allusion to von. or of having said of you, in my letter to the Chairman of the reform meeting, more than all po- litical men. who benefit from the system which they ad- vocate, are fairly and necessarily subject to. « ' The letter in question is now before me ; and I am at a lo « s for a form of words in which T could have more guardedly marked the disqualification under which T con- ceive yourself and others to be from giving authority to your opinion on Parliamentary reform, and at the same time have avoided making any allusion whatever to JKT- sonal character. " Not having intended, and not having made ( as 1 read the letter) any such allusion at the time, I cannot now hesitate, in a more particular manner, to disclaim having ever had such an intention.

Canning and Sir Francis liuriictt, requires from nie the following expla- 21 ition. " Certainly, the paragraph to which both our names are signed, though written by us, was r, ot written as a letter to the Editor of the Courier, or to any other person. Jt was intended simply to authenticate the correspondence w hich it accompanied. The mistake, by which you con- sidered it as addressed to yourself, i. best explained in the letter which I received from you this morning, and which I beg you will annex to the present letter. " With regpect to the question of publishing, it is per- fectly true that Mr I>. Kinnaird, though publication had his perfect assent, and though bis authentication of the correspondence was given with that view, declined to he a party to it. But it is equally true, that publication, in some form or oilier, was always required by Mr. Can- ning. and was uniformly so stated by me to Air. Kinnaird, • from the moment that there appeared a prospect of the • sS'air being brought to ail amicable termination. A motion, for tlic abolition of the Lottery, has been negatived by a considerable majority. IIow the conscientious and ] iious Mr. Vansittart, the President of a Bible Society, can bring himself to support this organised system of fraud and impos- ture, is not for us to determine. None will deny, that whatever has a tendency to divertthe attentionofany considerable portion ofthepeople from those regular and settled pursuits by which alone the wealth of in- dividuals or of society can be augmented, must be decidedly hurtful to the best interests of the State. And vet, for the sake of a miserable pittance of L.' 200,000 or L. 300,000, and in spite of all their cant about molality, Ministers do all in their power to demoralise the country, by propagating a taste for desperate gambling, and to induce a poor man to in- vest any savings he may have made from his wages in the Lottery rather than in a Friendly society or a Savings bank ! It is hardly possible to estimate the extent of the mischief which is tints occasioned. The walls of every village in the Empire are covered over with puffs, or rather with lies printed by authority. And every means is resorted to, in order to make the people believe, that nothing more than the pur- chase of the sixteenth of a lottery ticket is necessary to raise any individual from poverty to affluence!— The poorer classes, acd those who, from their cir- cumstances being nearly desperate, are, in conse- quence, stimulated to attempt to retrieve them by the " hazard of a die," are the principal sufferers. EvcrV well- informed person is aware of the cheat, and knows, that if he should buy the whole tickets in the Lottery, and thus make sure of gaining " THE FOUR OF L/ 20,000," and ALL the other prizes, he would certainly lose L. 4- 00,000 or L. 500,000 1 It would lie disgraceful for any government, even al- though its pretensions were infinitely less than ours, to tolerate, much less to countenance and encou- rage such a barefaced scheme for swindling its sub- . . . jects. Were a starving pauper to set himself down in some obscure corner with a Garter table, and to attempt to divest an unwary passenger of a few pence, he would immediately be committed to the nearest Bridewell, and treated as a rogue and a vagabond. Nor do we think that this is by any means an undue degree of severity ; but we would not repress that vice in detail which we patronise in the gross. \\ by trample on every principle of justice and of fair deal- ing, by enacting laws for the punishment of those whose necessities may have driven them to engage in nefarious practices, at the same time that we are establishing a monopoly in favour of wholesale gamb- lers, and inviting the public to adventure in schemes which must necessarily !> e ruinous to nine- tenths of those who arc foolish enough to give into the snare ? This is not even- handed justice.— Scotsman. THE APPROACHING CORONATION. BY THE KING. A PROCLAMATION APPOINTING A DAY FOR THE | SOLEMNITY Of THE CORONATION OF HIS MAJESTY. GEORGE R. WiintKAs, by our Royal Proclamation, bearing dale , the fith day of Alay 1820, we did, amongst other tilings, * f publish and declare our Royal Coronation upon Tuesday, the 1st of August then next ensuing, at our Palace at Westminster ; and where- s. by our Royal Proclamation bearing date 12th July, we thought lit to adjourn the said solemnity until our Royal will and pleasure should be farther signified thereoil. And whereas we have resolved, by the favour and blessing of Almighty God, to celebrate the said solemnity upon Thursday the I!> th of July, at our said Palace at Westminster, we do. by this our Royal Proclamation, give notice of, and publish our resolution thereon ; and we do hereby give strict charge and com- mand to all our loving subjects whom it may concern, that all persons, of w hatever rank or quality soever they be, who, either upon our letters to them directed, or by reason of their offices and tenures, or otherwise, are to do any service at the time of our Coronation, do duly give their attendance at the said solemnity, oil the said 19th day of July, in all respects furnished and appointed as to so great a solemnity appertained!, and answerable to the dignities and places which every one of them respectively holdeth and enjoyeth ; - and of this they or any of them are not to fail, as they will answer the contrary at their peril, unless by special reasons, by ourself under our sign manual to be allowed, we shall dispense with any of their services or attendances. Given at our Court the 9th day of June 1821, in the second year of our reign. THE CROWN.— His Majesty will be crowned j with the ancient crown of England. The new crown is intended to be worn immediately after that solemn form has taken place. The former has, however, received improvements and embellishments, and for many false jewels real ones have been sub- stituted. The crown, made expressly for his pre- sent Majesty, presents an appearance of one un- varied mass of diamonds. The curve of its branches, which meet at the top to support the ball, is npt so violent as the old one ; it is more extended and graceful, and the whole is consequently much higher. The velvet with which it is ornamented is unlike the old one, which is purple ; it is a beautiful crimson colour. The whole is surmounted by a pearl of im- mense value. THE SCEPTRE— Ilis Majesty's Sceptre with a cross, called the Sceptre Royal, is of solid gold; the handle plain, but the upper part wreathed. Its length is two feet nine inches ; the pommel at the bottom is enriched with rubies and small diamonds, and for five inches and a half above the handle it is curiously embossed and embellished with sapphires, rubies, emeralds, and diamonds. ' I he top rises into a flcur dells, enriched with precious stones; above this is an amethyst, value i'l 5,000, surmounted bv a cross, wholly eovered with precious stones, with a large table diamond in the centre. THE SACRED OIL— The golden vessel which will contain the sacred oil is in the form ofan eagle, with its wings extended upon a pedestal of pure gold, finely chased. The head screws off at the middle of tiro nee!;, f.. r tlie convenience of putting in tlio oil, which pours through the beak into the spoon. The height of this is nine inches ; the lireadth, from the points of the wings, seven inches ; the weight be- tween eight and ten ounces ; and the hodv capable of of containing six otinces of oil. The anointing spoon is of pure gold, with four pearls in the broadest part of the handle, the bowl of the spoon finely chas- ed of curious antique workmanship. I'llE STAFF.—* His Majesty's staff is four feet seven inches and a half in length, of solid gold, weighing 8 lb. 9 oz. with a pike or foot of steel about four inches and a quarter in length, and a ball and cross at the top ; the ornaments of simple rais- ed gold ; three different fillets, or bandages of leaves, are at equal distances ; its diameter is three quarters of an inch. The ball is of pure gold, with a raised bandage of precious stones encircling it, and a half bandage of the same round the top ; it is surmount- ed by a cross, upon an amethyst of immense value, as a pedestal. TIIE SPURS are of pure gold ricldv embossed.— They are the same worn by \\ illiam the Conqueror, and have plain points instead of rowels. The brace- lets, supposed also to have been worn " by W illian:, were of plain gold, but have been enamelled, for the ensuing occasion- with the Harp, the Thistle, the Shamrock, and the Rose alternately. Tilts SWORD The Sword of State is a very large two- handed sword, with a rich scabbard of crimson velvet, adorned with gold plates of the royal badges. THE RING — His Majesty's Coronation Ring is of plain gold, with a large ruby violet, on which is curiously enchased a plain Cross, or Cross of St. George. THE SALTCELLAR— Is of pure gold, an! a model of the White Tower of London. The four corner towers and the large centre one separately contain salt. There are also other smaller Saltcel- lars of immense value. ROYAL ROBES.— A work published in 1 > S3, gives us the following information :—" In times past, Kvnges, as olde Historiographers in their Bookes yet extant doe recorde, would not disdain to weare a paire of liosen of a noble, tenne slullynges, or a marke price, with all the rest of their apparell after the same rate ; but now it is a small matter to bestowe twcntic nobles, tenne pouudc, 20 pounde; 40 pounde, vea 100 pounde of one pan e of breeches ( God be niercijul unto us .' J and yet is this thought no abuse neither." The Anatomy of Abuses by STURBES. FOREIGS INTELLIGESCE. FROM FRENCH PAPERS. PARIS, June 12.— OurBayonue correspondence, dated the 5th inst. announces that Merino and his guerilla band are stronger than ever. He has now in his troop four hundred cavalry, well mounted.— He excites great fear in the Spanish Government. A portion of Old Castile is occupied by this intrepid curate, and it is thought in Madrid that he is about to be declared out of the pale of the law. The Em- pecinado dares not come in contact with him. An entire company of carabineers, with arms and bag- gage, recently deserted and made common cause with the insurgents. The regiment Oceana has received orders to repair to tlie capital. A letter from Madrid, dated the 31st. ult. states, that on the previous night, the prior of the convent of the Do- minicans, in which the King has a private chapel, whither his Majesty often retires, has been arrested. The prior is suspected of being the author of a plan of counter- revolution. He is now confined in the prison which was occupied by the ill fated Vinnesa. NAPLES, May 26.— Our Sovereign has re- as- sumed the reins of State. The functions of the Provisional Government have ceased. A 11 oval decree has just been published, appoint- ing a Provisional Junta to aid the King, in drawing up the bast » s of institutions which his Majesty has in view to establish, to promote the public welfare and repose, conformably to his letter addressed to the Duke de Calabria on the 2^ th of January last. TRIESTE, May 25.— Two Turkish frigates, of fifty guns each, and four brigs, which recently sailed from Constantinople, in order to support the opera- tions of the forces destined against the insurgents oftheMorea, have been given up to the latter by the Greeks, which formed tlie majority of the crews of this squadron. The T urks on board, in number about nine hundred, were at first landed, as priso- ners, on the island of Milo : but as soon as the murder of the patriarch was known, the Greeks sa- crificed them to their vengeance. MADRID, May 31.— We have received the in- telligence that General Elio was condemned to death on the 28th instant by the Preliminary Tribunal of Valencia. Conformably to this sentence, he will be strangled ( the mode of capital execution in Spain*, after first being degraded. It is generally thought m this capital that the sentence will lie confirmed by the- tcrritorial audience and by the King. Perhaps a contrary disposition would excite fresh disorders in Valencia, where it has been very difficult to save the General from becoming the victim of popular fury. This capital is tranquil ; yesterday morning, how- ever, the police tore from our walls above one hun- dred placards ivhich were posted during the night, which menaced with death the anient partisans of the new system, and even da" ed to vent similar threats against his Majesty, who has adopted that system, ' k ou perceive all parties hero have their excesses. VIENNA, May 30.— Preparations arc making at the residence of Lord Stewart, which indicate the early departure of this Ambassador. The sale of horses, and a great part of the furniture, autho- rises the idea tiiat he will be long absent, if even a change of post does not take place, which has long been talked of in Vienna. CONSTANTINOPLE, May 13.— We are con- stantly in a state of alarui here. In addition to the scenes which have already occurred, last week was characterised by some bloody conflicts between the Janisarics themselves. As we do not go out of our houses, we are ignorant of the cause of the quarrels. There only remains one Greek chapel which has not been profaned or demolished by the populace of this capital. FROM GERM A X PAPERS. FRANKFORT, June 4.— According to the latest accounts from Vienna, a report is in general circu- lation there, that a congress is to meet in that city during the course of the summer ; the subject of its deliberations will be the affairs of Turkey, which dailv assume a more serious aspect. It appears bv the last letters from Semlin, that several districts of Servia have taken to arms to support the insurrec- tion of the Greeks and Moldavians. VIENNA, June 1.— The accounts from the dif- ferent provinces of Turkey shew, that the prediction that the atrocities committed at Constantinople would still ino* e exasperate the Greeks has been re- alised. The news has spread with astonishing rapi- j dity through Servia, Bulgaria: and Wallaehia, and has raised up a host of new enemies t<> the Porte.— The Submission of Moldavia and Wallachia, which had been already spoken of here, has not been ef- fected, because the Porte has refused all the pro- posals of the provisional Government. It seems tiiat the intervention of the Russian Ambassador at Constantinople has not had the least effect. Seve- ral Turkish corps had passed the Danube, but learn- ing the defeat of their principal corps by Theodore, thev have retired. Ypsilanti had not yet moved ; he was employed in giving a better organisation to his army, which has lately been considerably rein- i forced, principally by Greeks coming from Bessara- ' bia. But it is Theodore who plavs the principal part in Wallachia. His plan is to advance towards Servia, there to reinforce his army, and afterwards to march towards Bosnia. AMERICA, < Jc. NEW YORK, May 11.— About three o'clock on the morning of Wednesday, the 9th of Mav, a fire broke out in the old Sonthwark Theatre, Phi- ladelphia, which, together with an adjoining brick, four framed houses, and part of a distillery, were reduced to a heap of ruins. All the Philadelphia Papers agree in attributing the lire to the torch of an incendiary. By Letters from Bombay we learn that twenty ships have been taken up by the vigilant Governor, on board of which 5000 troops are embarked, des- tined to the Persian Gulph, to repair the disaster suffered bv the surprise of the detachment left by Sir William Kiel- under the direction of a young man. The gallant General Lionel Smith has been selected for this important service ; and we have no doubt but that he will convince the Arabs of the impolicy of their treacherous proceeding, and justify the high confidence which the Government of Bom- bay have in his talcnt3 and valour. His Excellency Mr. Elphinstone, completely recovered, is gone on a tour to Kutch, to settle all disputes, and to ascertain the true situation of the country. How important it is for the Heads of the Presidencies, thus to judge from actu- al observation, instead of trusting to mere reports. This proves the benefit of appointing men of expe- rience and energy in the conduct of our Indian Em- pire— which is now, through the admirable conduct of the Governor General, and the two other Presi- dencies, in a state of unexampled tranquillity and prosperity. The Treaty concluded by the British Agent, Capt. Bruce, at Mocha* has inspired confidence and restored the usual intercourse to its former free foot- ing. The commercial advices state, that, in con- sequence of the surrender of Mocha, considerable quantities of coffee ( for which that part ol Arabia is so celebrated) had been brought up the Red Sea to Suez, which thence finding their way to Cairo and Alexandria, had caused the markets to be filled with that commodity. Imperial parliament HOUSE OF LORDS. Wednesday, June 13. The capital punishment mitigation bill, and the navi- gation rivers theft prevention bill, were brought up From the Commons by Sir James Mackintosh and several other Members. The Earl of D ARNLEY, at the suggestion of Lord Melville, postponed his motion on the subject of the navy from the 18th to the 19th inst. Friday, June 15. The Royal assent was given by commission to the Grown lands revenue improvement bill ; the Irish law courts fees regulation bill ; the Irish nisipriu. v bill ; the Irish rate- of interest, bill, and some private bills. The Irish election expences bill was read a third time. The K-. st India prize money bill was read a second time. The Marquis of LANS DOWN R moved, that the pa- pers laid on the table, relative to the slave trade, be print- ed ; and gave notice that he would, on Wednesday next, move an address relative to the slave trade. On the motion of the Noble Marquis, the navigation theft bill was read a first time. The Noble Marquis then gave notice that he should move the second reading of this bill, and the capital punishment mitigation bill, on Thurs- day next.— Adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS. Wednesday, June 13- STATE OF EUROPE. Mr. C. W. HUTCHINSON, in consequence of a communication which he had received from the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, postponed his intended mo- tion on the subject of the State of Europe, from to- day until the 21st inst. LAYBACH CIRCULAR. Mr. W. WARD, in the absence of Mr. S. W. rtley, postponed, in consequence of a like communication, the motion respecting the Laybach Circular till 21st inst. Mr. LUSHING TON moved the third reading of the Woollen Cloths Stamping. Regulation Bill. Mr. BARING complained of the inclination to legis- late on all subjects; also of the disposition to introduce clauses at variance with the character of the bill. This bill, for instance, contained a clause to authorise the ex- portation of sheep, a clause that he had heard of quite by accident. lie should oppose the bill. Mr. LUSH INGTON said, the bill only explained existing acts, aud that a most unfounded opposition to the bill existed. SUPPLY. The CH A NCELLC) R of the EXOHEQUER mov- ed, that the House resolve itself into a Committee c> f Supply, Mr. CURWEN asked, how 20001. at two several periods, making 40001. could be given to Mr. M'Adam without the approbation of Parliament. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, that such remunerations had been made from votes for the Civil Contingencies. ' Mr. P. G REX FELL inquired whether the claim of Senf. Desfoureaux, an American loyalist, was to be urged this evening: he considered it the most unwarrantable claim that had been made on any Government. Mr. IRVING said, he should not bring forward the subject; he, however, considered it most just. Mr. CALCRAFT— When will it be brought for- ward ? Mr. IRVING, on Tuesday next. Mr. HUME asked, when the report of the Duke of Clarence's grant was to be brought up, as some measure was to be proposed to mark the sense of certain members of that transaction. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER re- plied. He proposed to bring it tip to- morrow, when he hoped his Noble Friend ( Londonderry) would be pre- sent. Mr. IIUME then asked whether the Commissioner- ship of the Excise, Scotland, which had become vacant by death, was to be filled up? Did it form any part of the schemes of economy to abolish such office, there being live Commissioners, and three being considered suffi- cient ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, there was no intention to abolish such office. Mr. BARING said the answer respecting Mr. M'Adam was unsatisfactory. Mr. HUME observed, that instead of being paid out of the civil contingencies, the sums had been defrayed out ef the Stamp OtHce revenue. Thi> is another proof of the use Ministers made of the confidence of the House. . Thursday, June 14. Mr. TIOBHOUSE rose to request the attention of the House to a case which was hiyghli? deserving its cou- » sid^ ration. This case was disclosed in the petition of au individual whose name could not be unknown to any Gentletaan who heard him. lie meant Mr. King, agams* who$ n extraordinary proceedings had been recently insti- tuted.- by what was called " The Constitutional Associa? tion," which had really ip this transaction, as well as in others, acted s » ch a part as could not fail to meet the re-% probation, it merited, not only from that House and the public, but from those who were unwarily drawn into it. From the, petition in his hand, it appeared that the pe- j titioner was first apprised that an indictment had beer* preferred against him. by this Association by learning froia a newspaper that this . indictment w. rs thrown out by ihe Grand Jury. Here the lion., Member, stated the sub- stance of the petition, which contained all the particulars that have recently appeared in this paper, together with copies of the affidavit of Horatio Orton, the only witness against petitioner; and that of the petitioner himself.— According to the latter, the Hon. Member observed, that the affidavit of Orton, the tool of the Constitutional Association, contained direct falsehoods. Our limits will not permit us to give Mr. Hobhouse's speech at length. Not a syllable was uttered in its defence. The petition was ordered to be laid on the table, ani to be printed. , SCOTCH BURGHS, j Lord A. HAMILTON, on presenting the Report of ! the Committee upon the Petitions with respect to the J system of Election. & c. in the Scotch Burghs, which IM j was called upon to do, as the Chairman of that Committee, ; took occasion to observe that he dissented from the Rc- \ port, and disapproved of the conduct of the Committee, \ because they had not sufficiently investigated the subject. . It was due to himself, as well as to other Members of the f Committee who concurred with him in sentiment, to : make this declaration, however unusual. This Report • was drawn up by others in his unavoidable absence from town, although upon his departure he promised to have a • Report prepared within a week after his arrival. He did not mean to charge the report with false statements, but he complained that opinions were expressed without adc- ; quale inquiry. lie found fault, indeed, not so mucli ; with what the Committee did as with what- it omitted t< » •• do ; but to shew the imperfection of the inquiry which had been gone into, he would move, if there were no objec- • tion, for the production of the minutes of evidence taken before the Committee. | Lord BINNING declared, that he had no objection • to the production of the Minutes of Evidence. If ( he | Noble Lord and others desired to have such an useless I ^ document, they were, for his part, heartily welcome to it. | But as to the Report, it was drawn up in the Noble \ Lord's absence, no doubt; but, then, from the ' oug [ sitting of th J Committee, his return could i* ot be waited \ for. consistently with the convenience of other Members. i That Report, however, was not pressed for a week after | the Noble Lord's return, in order that he might have an opportunity of preparing a different Report if be thought g proper. The Committee did not go into the extent of in- ij vestigation required by the Noble Lord, because they did j not think it necessary to do so; but in live Report now } presented suggestions were contained, which, if acted i upon, would, he had no doubt, serve to remedy all the evils complained of by the Petitioners. Such, indeed, , was the opinion of some of those Gentlemen who had ; voted for the Noble Lord's original motion. Therefore i he hoped that such a Committee would never be revived* ; and that the bickerings and dissensions which its appoint- 5 ment had occasioned in Scotland, would be allowed U> \ subside. j Mr. ABERCIIOMBY entirely concurred in the 1 statement of his Noble Friend, that the public had nothing to expect from the labours of the Committee He concurred, too, in the observation of the Noble Lord opposite ( Lord Binning), . that the minutes of evidence, if produced, would !> e found t. obe perfectly harmless and useless, for the Committee iiad taken care to make them so, by the exclusion of parole testimony. lie complain- ed of the want of courtesy which had been shewn to his Noble Friend, who stated, upon his being obliged to go- to Scotland, that he had no wish to suspend the lul> ours' of the Committee, and that if they would only grant him one week after his return, he would be prepared to pro- duce his report. Notwithstanding tbis declaration of his Noble Friend, they produced the report in his absence* refusing that ordinary courtesy, which was shewn to every Chaiiman ol' a Committee, to his Noble Friend, who had taken so distinguished and honourable a part through- out the whole of this inquiry. Lord BINNING explained. Sir G. CLERK defended the conduct of the Com- mittee. and denied that any want of courtesy had been shewn to the Noble Lord opposite. Sir R. FERGUSSON wished to sta'e shortly to the House the grounds upon which he had felt himself called upon to withdraw from the Committee. The Committee was originally appointed in the year 1819, and they pro- ceeded to inquire into the abuses connected with the Scotch Burghs with so much activity, that his Majesty's Ministers found they had exposed too much. Accord- | ingly, when his Noble Friend moved in the next Session for the re- appointment of the Committee, his Majesty's Ministers refused to renew it, and appointed a Committee principally composed of their own official friends. The consequences were such as might have heen expected.— He did not blame the lion. Gentlemen opposite for the part which they had taken, they had actcd in strict con- formity with their principles, for they were at all times and upon all occasions the firm and consistent protectors of every species of abuse. In some cases of the most flagrant abuses in the Scotch Burghs, when a resolution for. admitting oral testimony was proposed, it was resist- ed by the Hon. Gentlemen opposite, on the ground of the great cxpence which would be incurred ; a reason which must appear somewhat curious to those who had yet to learn the economical propensities of those Gentle- men in that House. When he found that every attempt to investigate the existing abuses by adequate testimony- was opposed, he felt that his presence in the Committee would be no longer necessary or useful. lie agreed with the Noble Lord opposite that the labours of the Couuviit- tee would be perfectly useless. Harmless however, he could not think them, when he considered the effect which their dereliction of duty must have upon the people of Scotland. Mr. Iv. DOUGLAS denied that the Committee had failed to discharge their duty. For his own part, as a Member of that Committee, sensible of the evils which existed in the Scotch Burghs, and anxious to remedy them, as far as a practical remedy could be applied, he did not hesitate to say, that if the measures recommended by the Committee were carried into effect, every practical inconvenience would be removed. Mr. HUME said, that as a Member of the Committee, who, except in one or two instances, had never been absent, he was entitled to say that the complaint of his Noble Friend, that he had not l> eon treated with common courtesy, was well founded. The eight allegations cou- tained in the complaint of the Petitioners iiad all been affirmed, yet they were all lightly treated by the Com- mittee. After the labours of three years no practical be- nefit whatever would result from them, because a majority of the Committee had set themselves against every at- tempt at amelioration. He only regretted that his Noble Friend had ever gone into the Committee. He ( Mr, Hume), as soon as hosaw the list of the Committee, ear- nestly dissuaded him from acting in any way with a sefc of men who, he knew, were pre- determined to support every species of abuse. ^ I\ ir. \ V. DUN DAS said, that all he asked was, that the House would pause till they heard the Report. The Report was then received. Lord A. HAMILTON, in moving that the Reporl be printed, observed, that his only object in promoting this discussion was to draw the attention of the House to. the Report, and to secure the production of the Minutes, of Evidence. k The Report was ordered to be printed. AGRICULTURAL HORSE DUTY. Mr. CUR WEN regretted that the lateness of the Ses- sion obliged him to make his motion in the absence of the Noble Lord, especially as he had expressed his wish to give every possible relief to the agricultural interest. lie had alw » ys considered the agricultural horse tax as unjust in its principle, and mo# t oppressive in its operations. The Committee on agriculture had come to an unani- mous resolution that the distress of the country had been completely proved ; and if some- relief were not afforded, the country w<* uld say that 1,' arliamcnt lent a deaf ear to Sir J. NEWPORT said Tuesday was a notice day.— lit hoped his Hon. Friend would persist in bringing the subject forwarit on Monday. Sir. E. K X A'l'C H HULL also expressed his hope that tile Committee would be iixed for Monday. After a few words from Mr. Curwenand Air. Lushing- ton, the bill was read a second time, and committed for Monday.. Mr. WALLACE stated, on the subject of the Linen Tfade, that it was in contemplation to introduce a Bill to remove the transitduties on Linen. STATE OF IRELAND. Mr- G R ATT A N made some inquiry as to the state of Ireland. He wished to know whether the House was likely to have any information on the subject. Mr. C. GRANT replied, that as soon as he received any information he would lay it before the House. IRISH REVENUE. On the motion of the CH A ANCELLOR of the EX- CHEQUER for the House going into a Committee on the Ir^ sh Revenue Inquiry Bill, Sir J. NEWPORT said, he understood that this Bill j Was to authorise the appointment of Commissioners to in- ; quire into the financial abuses which existed in Ireland. Now, unless the persons to be appointed were men of talents, independence, and patriotism, men determined , to investigate and to combat with the difficulties which J they would meet with in that investigation, no good could ; result from their lifbours. If the provisions of this Bill, however, were carried faithfully into effect, he augured j much good from this operation, and therefore he would j give it his Support. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER also ! anticipated much good from the operations of the bill now ' under consideration of the House. Mr. CALCRAFI' hoped no Member of Parliament, ' or any individual holding other places, would be appointed to this Commission. The House then went into a Com- mittee, and the Bill was read a first time. Upon the clause for appointing the Commissioners, The CII A. N CELLO R of the EXCHEQUER moved that the blank be filled up with the following names :— . Right lion. T. Wallace, Mr. Lewis, Mr. Beering, Mr. Lushington, and Colonel Merries. It was provided that the Commissioners should receive no salary, but as it was usual for Parliament to make some compensation upon the close of a Commission, this would be matter for sub- sequent consideration. The duties of the Commissioners would be attended with considerable labour, and would probably continue for a considerable period of time. It was but reasonable, therefore, that their expenses should , be paid, but no compensation for their services was pro- vided by this Bill. Mr. HUME was at a loss to see the necessity there was for having five Commissioners in this case. He also ob- jected to some of the individuals named as Commissioners j the President of the Board of Trade, for instance, who could not attend his duties here, and yet be in Ireland. Another individual, Col. Herries, also a Member of this House, he objected to. He had the highest respect for j that Gentleman, but he could not consent that any Mem- j her of the House should hold a share in this Commission, , unless such Members would pledge themselves not to re- 5 ceive any remuneration either now or hereafter. He must also all one to another individual. Mr. Lewis, who stood i iu the same situation. He had no apprehensions as re- f garded his Hon. Friend not doing his duty, but he could j not consent that his Hon. Friend, as a Member of Parlia- j ment, should be drawn in the most distant manner within j- the influence of the Crown. Another circumstance he 1 must advert to : if the Commissioners were to have re- muneration, he would rather the sum should be named in the Bill. Mr. F. LEWIS said, he must declare his readiness to devote himself to the service of the public at all times and in all places, to the extent of his abilities, and that without fee or reward. But he must, at the same time, ask— was this to be adopted as a general rule ; for it must be understood that exception could not be made to his particular instance, either in justice to himself or the pub- j " - 1 ' -'- "- " ' ' then,' He its distresses. Tfit had not been for the hope the Co- day. Tie thought it would he beffer to take Tuesday, vermnent had intended to relieve the agriculturists, they would not have returned Members to support the present Administration. The Chancellor of the Exchequer might have made sufficient reductions in the expences of Go- vernment to have rendered the necessity of the agricul- tural horse tax of no longer continuance. : It bad been stated that this tax only amounted to threepence per acre throughout the kingdom ; buL he contended that it was three per cent, on heavy soil., ; and was, in truth, a tax upon the plough, and the inferior soils, w hile the best paid little or nothing. Besides, the practice was to surcharge fvery farmer until he could show the real amount of the horses he had used in agriculture. This was a most grievous and oppressive practice. A surcharge was made on a poor woman in Berwick forgiving a gardener sixpence to prune a fruit tree. She was charged as having a gardener, and obliged to sell part of her goods to pay this infamous sur- charge. The general distress of the country arose from the want of employment, and he was satisfied that the people found that cheap bread without employment was not for their benefit. He called on the House to give re- lief to the farmers of the country, by granting them a re- mission from this tax, which would be considered by them as a great boon. He then moved for leave to bring iu a bill to repeal the agricultural horse tax. Mr. GOOCII said the Agricultural Committee gave him instructions, as Chairman to move for the repeal of this tax. He came down to do so ; but the Committee, in the mean time, altered its opinion. Though his general opinion of Ministers continued the same, still he pould not help saying, that this was a mist unjust and oppressive tax. He hoped that Government; would apply itself with earnestness to the reduction of the estimates. Much as he differed in opinions and politics from the Hon. Member for Aberdeen ( Mr. Hume), he must say., that by his ex- ertions and industry he had done great service to his coun- trv this Session, lie concluded by seconding the motion. Mr. COKEwas quite delighted with the language from the other side, especially from the Member for Sullblk ( Mr. Gooch) who had been the constant supporter of Mi- nisters. He fully concurred in what had fallen from the Hon. Gentleman opposite ( Mr. Gooch) respecting the s rvices of the Hon. Member for Aberdeen. He had been many years iu that House, and he never saw a more borious and industrious Member of Parliament. For his part lie would vote not only for the repeal of this tax, but of every other that should be proposed. The ruin and distress of the country was solely owing to the op- pressive load of taxation. He did not believe that the tax was of half the importance to agriculture as the malt tax, but he would support any motion for the diminution of taxes. Mr. GI PI'S said the small shopkeeper was taxed beyond endurance. He however wished the revenue to be kept tip. in order to preserve a sinking fund, which would by degrees pay off the debt. He hoped the House would agree to the repeal of this tax, in order to show their at- tention to the agricultural interest. Mr. BARING had voted for every question of retrench- ment ; but not having succeeded, he could not feel it his iluty so far to weaken the revenue by the repeal of this tax. The Gentlemen opposite had all read the Chancellor of the Exchequer's lectures on economy, but not one of them had supported any one of the numerous votes for retrenchment which had been before the House. Sir W. W. WYNN always opposed this tax as unjust and impolitic ; but be thought the repeal should extend to all horses employed in waggons and carts. Mr. W. BURR ELL said the tax bore heavier on the owner of bad than of good land ; and a tax might, with equal justice, he laid 011 cows and sheep. He called on the landed interest to make a stand, and to introduce eco- nomy into all branches of the public expenditure. Lord MILTON voted against the tax, for the pur- pose of enforcing economy on an Administration who would not listen to it of their own accord. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the present motion appeared to be the signal of a general attack 011 the finances of the country. Our system of finance could never he supported amidst a succession of continual attacks. It did not appear that any material relief would be afforded to agriculture from the repeal of the tax. and the House ought to pause before they created a deficiency of 500,0001. in the Consolidated Fund. If this tax was removed, it must be replaced by some other. If was a gradual relief that the country had to look to ; but if the taxes were to be taken in succession from off the different classes of the community, the effect would be, not general relief, hut general ruin. He should move the previous question. Mr. SCARLETT said more convincing arguments bad never been used by any Ministers. The question was, whether by repealing certain oppressive taxes a greater re- venue would not accrue from the remaining taxes. Should the present, and also other taxes be repealed, the Right Hon. Gentleman and his colleagues would no more retire from office than when the House refused to sanction the income tax. If there was a surplus of four millions, he thought it would be much better to remit taxes to that amount to the people, as the sinking fund had been di- verted from its original ob; ect. Mr. IIUSKISSON said the House should pause be- fore they diminished the actual amount of taxation. He was fully sensible of the distress of the agricultural part of the community, and could he think the tax obnoxious to the farmers generally, he should consent to the repeal; but in the 112 petitions presented to the agricultural Committee, oneonly had prayed for the repeal of the tax in question. Formerly the tax was 17s. on each horse, but in 1816 it had been reduced to 2s. 6d. 011 all horses employed 011 farms below 2001. a- year. The taxes repeal- ed in 1721 had been those on pepper, cloves, cinnamon, and nutmegs ; but in 1722 the Administration had pro- posed as a substitute for them, a tax on Papists—( a laugh).— Upon that principle the Noble Lord was bound to propose some substitute for the tax he proposed to re- peal. With respect to this country being more heavily taxed than other countries, the position would be found unjust if our capital was considered. Sir C. BURRELL referred to the Act of 1815, to shew that the statement of the Right Hon. Gentleman ( Mr. Huskisson) was incorrect. Instead of the tax lie- ing now only 2s. 6d. 011 all ' arms under 2001. a- year, the scale was, 011 farms between 701. and 1001. a- year, 5s.; between 1001. and 1501. a- year, 7s.; between 1501. and 2001. a- year, 10s. 6d. He supported the motion. After some farther observations, Mr. CURWEN re- plied, and the gallery was cleared for a division. - For the motion, ... 141 For the amendment, ... ... 113 Majority against the tax, ... 28 Mr. CURWEN then brought in his bill, which was read a first time. On the question for the second reading to- morrow, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER sug gested Monday. Mr. CURWEN hoped the Right Hon. Gentlemon did not intend to give any further opposition to this bill. The CHANCELLORofthe EXCHEQUER could not consider the question as decided. Air. BROUGHAM thought the sense of the House had been fully taken. Mr. BARING hoped the Right Hon. Gentleman would proceed with this as with all other bills, and that every Member who had an opinion against cutting down the finances of the country to this extent, would have an opportunity of expressing that opinion. Sir C. BURRELL considered further opposition as vexatious. Air. HUSKISSON asked, was opposition to a mea- sure not yet before the House vexatious. Lord MILTON could not see how a measure which had been so fully discussed as this had been, could be described as one not before the House. Mr. DAVENPORT hoped his Right Hon. Friend, instead of opposing this bill, would now give it his sup- port. After some observations from the Chancellor of the Ex- chequer, Mr. Gipps, and Mr. Curwen, Lord MI LTON gave notice, that when this hill came into a Committee, he would propose a clause for the re- peal of the wool tax. It was then agreed that the hill should be read a second time to- morrow. Friday, . Tune 1.5. THE AGRICULTURAL HORSE TAX. Mr. CURWEN said.' he understood 110 opposition was to be made to this bill in the present stage, and as he con- sidered it necessary that the public mind should be set at rest as soon as possible, he should move the Committee for Monday, and hoped the question would then be set at rest. Mr. LUSHINGTON suggested the impossibility of the bill being discussed 011 . Monday, which was a supply From the LONDON GAZETTE, June 16. , Whitehall, June 8.

Friend whether, having served the public faithfully, honestly, and honour- ably, without fee or reward, he believed that afterwards receiving a remuneration would render him incapable of discharging his duty honourably in future? lie could not entertain such an idea generally of mankind ; and if he could for a moment entertain such a suspicion of himself, he would pray that the earth should open now and swallow him as a disgrace to human nature. Having said thus much, he would only add, that as to the Jippointment, he was as indifferent about it as a man could possibly be. lie would readily vote for any other Member who should be proposed ; for he must say, he was of opinion the Commission should be constituted of Members of the House, to give it due weight and information. Mr. WALLACE disclaimed any motive of personal interest in being appointed to the Commission. He felt that, if it could be made compatible with ihe situation he held, as he thought it could, the public had a riaht. to his services. He did not pretend to the affectation of giving his time gratuitously in the public service ; he thought that such affectation was most unworthy in any man. The Right Hon. Gentleman then proceeded to say, that whatever difficulties and hardships might offer themselves, neither he nor his colleagues would be want- ing in the pioper discharge of their duty ; and he should require no additional salary. Mr. CALCRAFT was quite surprised to hear the speech of the Right Hon. Gentleman who had just sat down. The Vice- President of the Board of Trade ( Mr. Wallace) talked of difficulties and hardships, as if he was going to storm the enemy's camp, instead of proceeding on a pleasant excursion to a fine country, and among the most hospitable people in the world—( A laugh.)— The Right Hon. Gentleman had put on a rueful face, as if he was setting out on a desperate expedition—( Laughter.) It surely would not be fair in the Right Hon. Gentle- man to expect any additional salary, when he received so much of the public money already from the situation lie held. The Hon. Member, after some farther observa- tions to the same effect, said that he was decidedly op- posed to appointing individuals to the Commission who held situations for which they were well paid already.— He should take the sense of the House on the appoint- ment of his Hon. Friend to this Commission. Mr. F. ROBINSON said, the Right Hon. Vice- President of the Board of Trade had a great deal to do.— In the performance of this netv duty that Right lion. Gentleman might essentially benefit the interests of Trade. Their visit to Ireland might be very pleasing; but the cleansing the Augean Stable would not be light or easy. Lord A. HAMILTON said, the reason why persons accepting offices must vacate their seats in Parliament was, that they should go back to their Constituents in order to ascertain their opinion as to the propriety of their accepting such office. lie could have no hesitation on which side he should vote on this occasion. Mr. BROUGHAM had no objection to his Hon. Friend's appointment to this Commission, except on the principle of this being an instance of the attempts to ex- tend the influence of the Crown in that House. His Hon. Friend most undoubtedly would not suffer this influence to have any effectVm him ; but it might become a prece- dent for the appointment of others, on whom it might have strong influence. Mr. A BE RC RO M BIR thought three Commissioners were amply sufficient to fill up this Board. He should vote against any Member of Parliament, therefore, sitting on this Board. Sir J. NEWPORT was satisfied that, to make the Commissioners bencficial to the Public, their appoint- ment should come from Parliament, aad not from the Crown. If he considered this office as one of a perma- nent kind, he would, as soon as any man, object to the appointment of Parliamentary Commissioners; but this was a temporary Parliamentary inquiry, and therefore there ought to be some Members of Parliament on the Commission. Mr. M ABERLY thought they ought to have no more on this Commission than were necessary to discharge the duties of this office, and therefore three Commissions were sufficient ; to which effect the Hon. Member made a mo- tion, after some observations from the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr. Denman, Mr. Hutchinson, and Mr. Abercrombie. The Committee divided— For the motion, 77 — Against it, 31— Majority, 4G. This division was in favour of the appointment of Mr. F. Lewis. The Committee again divided— For the appointment of Mr. Wallace as one of the Commissioners, 81 — Against it, 2S— Majority, 58. The Bill went through the Committee, and was or- dered to be reported on Monday. LONDON, June 16 We have avoided ill! notice of the reports in circulation with respect to a partial change of Ministers, because we could not give any information to our readers upon autho- rity that could berelied on. The return of Mr. Canning from Paris, who was- sent for expressly by Ministers, leaves no doubt of the negotiation which- Is on foot for- a change, and in which it is proposed to recal that Gentleriian to the Cabinet, with an increase of- consideration. It is not, we believe, tinally settled, whether he shall take the situa- tion of First Lord of the Admiralty, or that of Secretary for the Ilome Department. In case of the former arrange- ment, Lord Melville removes to the Home Department; and, at any rate. Lord Sidmouth retires. Keporl says, that Mr. Canning desires to have the nomination of one friend in the Cabinet, and that this will be conceded to him— M<) ra CUron. Thursday being the day fixed by the. King to ho- nour the Duke of Devonshire with his Company to dinner, his Majesty arrived at Devonshire House. Piccadilly, about twenty minutes past seven o'clock, in his private carriage, accompanied by Sir B Bloom field, Bart. At iiis arrival at the door of the ' grand hall, and on his Majesty's alighting from his carriage, he was received bv the Duke of Devon- j shire, Lords Granville, G. H. Cavendish, Morpeth, and Normanby, who conducted liiin to the red room, , where the distinguished party were waiting. Mis Majesty conducted Lady Morpeth and the Priti- , cess Esterhazy, and the Duke of York, Lady Gran- i ville, to the grand saloon, where covers were laid j for 30. The table was covered with silver gilt or- ; naments, plateaux brandies, containing numerous I lights, & c. Nearly the whole service of plate was j silver gilt. About half past nine the partv retired I to the green room, where a grand concert took place. At half past eleven dancing commenced 111 the grand j saloon, and did not cease till nearly four yesterday j morning. The Ladies were all verv elegantly j dressed with feathers and a profusion of diamonds.— • His Majesty, we are happy to state, looked extre- ! mely well, and was in high spirits : he retired about ' halt past 1 c2.

Thursday her Majesty received the Deputation from the city of Coventry, with their Address, ac- companied by their Representative, Mr. Peter Moore. Mr. Ellice, the other Representative, ! was prevented attending by family misfortune.— j They were introduced to her Majesty by Lord Hood. \ The watch made for her Majesty by the watchmakers of Coventry was at the same time presented to her. Proclamation was made at the usual placcs, and in the usual state, on Thursday, of the approaching Coronation ofhis Majesty, King George IV. The spectators were very numerous.

CORONATION COUNCIL— 1' he Commissioners appointed bv his Majesty's proclamation to arrange the ceremonies of the Royal Coronation, assembled 011 Thursday at one o'clock, at the Council Office in Downing Street. The Dukes of York, Clarence, and Sussex ; Lord Harrowbv, ( President) ; the Right Hon. Sir WILL, Grant, the Right II011. Geo. Canning, & c. were particularly summoned. The Council met to receive reports of the progress made in the works for the Coronation ; and to sign the warrants for the services of those whose cases have already been adjudged hy the Court of Claims. The adjudication of the claim is pot complete till the party possesses the warrant of this Council. It is expected that there will be a batch of new Peers created on the ceremonial of the Corona- tion. Besides the advancement of several Peers to higher titles, we have heard the names of Mr. For- rester, Sir James Saumarez. Sir Watkin Williams Wvnn, and two or three Irish Peers to be made British. Places in private houses in the neighbourhood of Palace- yard, commanding a view of the line of the procession of the Coronation, are now sought after with extraordinary avidity. Various prices are demanded from ten to forty guineas per seat.— These seats will be generally on scaffolding erected in front of the houses, the safety and sufficiency of which will be inspected bv the Board of Works.— The proprietor of one house in Great George Street expects to clear 70001. The landlord, in most cases, is entitled to divide the profits equally with the tenant. It is observed by an Evening Paper, that " the greater number of the new subscribers to the Con- stitutional Association are women and clergymen. From Peterborough, for instance, there are eight subscribers, of whom six are women and two clergy- men. From Ipswich, out of four subscribers, there are no less than three clergymen." On Wednesday a numerous and respectable com- pany dined at the city of London Tavern-, to cele- brate the 109th anniversary of the Protestant dis- senters' original cbaritv- school, in Shakespeare's Walk. : His lloval Highness the Duke of Sussex presided, and was supported by Mr. Sheriff Wil- liams and many of the principal dissenting ministers.

BELFAST, June 6 On Wednesday last, an at- tempt to defraud the Revenue to. a considerable ex- tent,. was fortunately frustrated by the vigilance and promptitude of Mr. Coulson,. one of the landwaiters of this port, who, in pursuance of his duty, was su- perintending the cargo of the ship . Zorgan Vlvt, from Rotterdam, and . having directed a cask of madder to be pierced in different directions, with a spear, or instrument called a tormentor, found some obstruction in the madder. lie immediately order- ed the head to be taken off the cask, and on farther search found it to contain a quantity of leaf tobacco ingeniously, made up in three bales . with madder at each end of the cask and between each bale. Sixty casks were found made up in this fraudulent manner ; the wdiole quantity of tobacco amounting to about fifteen tons. Tfie vessel was of course immediately put under seizure, the cargo lodged in the King's Stores, and the master and crew of the vessel sent to the Ilcuse of Correction, The seizure reflects great credit 011 the Officers of the Custom House, who all displayed a very commendable promptness and decision 011 the occasion. By the latest advices from Charleston arid Savan- nah, it appears that Upland cottons had recently experienced an advance of not less than 10 percent. The cause of this was the knowledge of the specula- tive demand which existed ir. Liverpool during the early part of March. Good qualities were worth 15 cents, per lb. and verv scarce. Of lower des- criptions the quantity upon the market was consider- able. Bills on England were at 7 to 7h percent, premium.— Liverpool Advertiser. MARKETS, Sc.. CORN EXCHANGE, June I.?.

EBE.— In modifying an augmentation, the Court will not take the value of the glebe into consi- deration, where it does not appear to have been in- tended to form part of the benefice. An heritor, the proprietor of the whole parish of St. Madoes, objected to an augmentation granted to the mi- nister. and pleaded, that the minister enjoyed a glebe of above 23 acres, and worth L. 120 per annum, which ought to be taken into consideration in modifying the stipend —. Minister of Old Deer against Heritors, Nov. 23, 180S, which note referred to the case of Buirle, Nov. 22, 1S09. The minister denied that Ihe glebe is so large, or so va- luable. but alleged that, at any rate, that could not he regarded in fixing the amount of his stipend. There is no trace of it having been designated out of the lands of the heritors ; and, besides, tde Court are not in the use of paying attention to the size of the minister's glebe, and referred to cases ( not reported) of minister of Stair, Lang- holm, Barony Parish of Glasgow, Wilton, 1 SI air, Kilni- fichen, Yarrow, South Dean, Scone, New- urgh, and Methven. 1' er curiam.— In very particular cases, where it. is clear that the glebe was intended to be part of the benefice, that fact may be taken into consideration in granting an aug- mentation, but not where the glebe happens merely to be larger than usual. There are many ways in which a mi- ni-, ter may become possessed of a glebe, but from which the heritors are not entitled to derive advantage. It may have been granted for the greater accommodation of the clergymen. If he w. is proprietor of an estate in the parish, would that be any reason for refusing an augmentation ? The Court had previously, and wiibout taking the value of the glebe into consideration, fixed ( June 3, 1818) the stipend at • fourteen chalders of victual, half meal half ' barley, payble in money according to the highest fiar ' prices of the county annually,' with L. I00 Scots for communion elements; and, upon advisii. g the petition for the heritor and answers for the minister, adhered. The Lammas Term in the Court of Exchequer commenced yesterday.

As builders in general fill! far short of a competent knowledge of the erection of Vents for preventing of Smoke, Gentlemen building Mansion Houses would find it both for their ad- vantage and comfort, to have their Chimnies built in a manner so as to prevent that evil, which so many proprie- tors have experienced.

Summary of politics, TWO publications have lately made their appear- ance of a natnre somewhat extraordinary : the one entitled a Letter from the King to his People ; and the other in answer, a Letter from the Queen. It is certainly uncommon for the Sovereigns of this country to address their subjects otherwise than officially, so that Ministers may be alwavs responsi- ble ; but it shews deference to public opinion, that such an Apolojjy and Defence is circulated among the people in the name, and there is every reason to believe, with the sanction of his Majesty. It is avowed, that the Letter was not written by him ; but the frequent use of the pronoun /, and some allusions to circumstances, the knowledge of which must necessarily have been confined to verv few, as well as the fact, that this exculpatory Letter has run through upwards of twenty editions, without being animadverted noon by that most formidable of critics, his Majesty's Attorney General, arc to us convincing proofs that it bears the Stamp of Autho- rity. In short, it may be as fairly considered the King's own production as his Speeches which he delivers from the Throne, and its merits will be dis- cussed with just as much freedom as these documents generally are, for which lus advisers are responsible. His Majesty is, in this production, made to say, that his marriage was brought about in order to pay his debts, " that there was for him 110 escape." " Rut although the match was forced, and I was left ( unlike mv subjects) without any free choice, I had still a right to expect in a Princess of exalted ancestry, and one previously allied to me bv relation- ship, a female of chaste person and uncontaminated taste. But the morning that dawned on the con- summation of this marriage, witnessed its virtual dissolution." From these expressions, we do not collect with any certainty what that ground of dis- like was which led. to the virtual dissolution" of the marriage ; but it is added, that as her Majesty's family never demanded explanations upon the sub- ject, never remonstrated or complained, his Majesty was justified in requiring, at a proper moment, ; i more Openly avowed separation, than had at first taken plaic. A laboured attempt is also made to explain, why the late King pontinued the steady Friend and Protector of his Daughter- in- Law, al- though he was left wilhmit cause of accusation against his Son a early determination. The fact, that Ins late Majesty was left without cause of accusation against his sou for the desertion of his wife, we have never before heard allcdged. It was always understood, that the late King endeavoured for years to bring the parties to live together; and it is well known, that while his faculties remained unimpaired, he expressed the greatest affection for his Daughter- in Law. The Prince of Wales Letter, upon the first proposal of separation, alledging as the sole cause. " that our inebriations are not under onrown control," was not intended bv the writer for publication. It was published by command of the Princess, and con- tained not the most distant hint of any impeachment of her honour. The Letter proceeds :—" I am charged bv the giddy press, and the partisans of the Queen, with having upon all occasions besieged her with spies and suborned traduccrs. At the period . of the separation, in 1796, the then Prin - cess of Wales surrounded herself, not with any friends of mine, but with an establishment of her own choice. But suppose, for argument's sake, this false asser- tion to be true, how completely useless would have been the office of thost spies ami talebearers, had the conduct of her Itoval Highness given no • . * grounds for their occupation ? In such a case, the more closely her Royal Highness had been watched, the more spotless, chaste, and' unquestionable, would her conduct have appeared. Ought it, under any circumstances even of presumed aggra- vation, to have been Otherwise ?" This specimen of Royal casuistry, we fear, will not bear very close examination. It is assnmed, that the Princess was not surrounded by suborned traducers; and it is as- sumed, that suborned traducers must necessarily give the best character of those thev are hired to calum- niate ; it is assumed or insinuated also, that her conduct had rendered the employment of spies proper, even and that they were employed.— In the mean time, the reader is supposed to have forgotten the delicate Investigation, the per- jury of the DOUGLASSES, and the whole contents of THE BOOK. The supposed writer is made to say—" Had t been actuated by the foul spirit at- tributed to me, I had at that moment an opportu- nity of gratifying my revenge, by demanding a public trial, instead of a private investigation." It is fresh in the recollection of all, that the private in- vestigation prevented the Princess from knowing the charges against her, or cross examining witnesses, who, before a court of justice, would have incur- red the penalties of perjury ; for the public prose- cutor did not act against the DOUGLASSES and others, because their affidavits were not made in the course of legal proceedings. The world has since seen the result of a public trial; but at the time alluded to, 1806, it was not open to the Princess " to bring her accusers btfore the tribunals < f her country," The account given of the reasons which induced the Prince Regent to abandon the companions of of his youth, and the distinguished characters with whom in . his earlier years he had associated, is very curious, if not very convincing; but it is as- serted, that the exclusion of the Whigs from power, converted the " matrimonial differences" into apo- litical attack upon the Regent's authority. How- ever, those who believe the Queen completely in- nocent of the infamous charges raised up against her, are not indiscriminately accused of lese Majrste. for the writer expressly savs—" I will not accuse, I do not accuse of disaffection, either to mv Person or Government, all who are advocates for the cause of the Queen. But if the assumptions and insinua- tions of this Letter be well founded, all who doubt of her Majesty's guilt must be at best but fools— for a pathetic appeal is made to the Females of Great Britain, including the virtuous and chaste Dames of the Court, in the followingterms : " Will the virtuous and noble, the high tninde 1 and chaste, the amiable and domestic Females of England, adopt the Queen as an example and modi 1 worthy of their imitation ? Will they pronounce her faultless— will they com- pose her Court ? If I can place the Queen upon the Throne of mv ancestors, I am ready to do so— upon none other can or ought a Queeu to sit upon the Throne of pre- eminent England." " How the wel- fare of the nation can be promoted by forcing upon a loathing husband, an equally loathing wife, appears to me a problem in Government not easily to be maintained in argument, or proved bv historical re- ference." Theanticipationsof history isan unique, but our limits do not admit of its insertion. It is, how- ever, supposed a very proper termination of the affair, that her Majesty retires to the Continent, pledging her word of honour that she shall never return to England ; and his Majesty, as a first Act of Grace, orders " to expunge f rom the Journals of the T. ords all the accusatory proceedings against the Queen of England " We really did not know that any such Act of Grace was competent to the Sovereign of Great Britain ; but the accommodating spirit, in which the suggestion is made, all must approve — The concluding paragraph is Verv solemn :—" And now my faithful subjects, and well beloved fellow- countrymen, your King takes his leave, praying to the God and Father of us all, that he will so direct your steps, as to lead both to your temporal, and your eternal happiness ; praying also, that the Crown of his Forefathers may not be dishonoured on his head ; Imt that mutual love and confidence may render happy both King and People. My ex- cellent subjects, may God Almighty bless you. " Farewell, " GEORGE." We are informed, in a Postscript, " that from the moment of deciding upon the bold step of pub- i lishinff this Letter, it was also determined never to i notice any replv, attack, or abuse of it. 1 Ins is i all as it should be ; the Letter will convince those i who professed to lielieve the evidence of the Doug- classes and the Italian Witnesses, and the unaccom- modating fellows who continue to insist upon dis- agreeable facts are not worth notice. Her Majesty's Letter we shall give some account of in a future number. At length the Country Gentlemen seem to be convinced, that thev must abandon Ministers or lose their estates, and it is unquestionably the only alternative thev have left. It seems not improbable, that the Agricultural Horse Tax will be repealed, notwithstanding the utmost efforts of Administration to preserve what thev call a highly impoitant and necessary branch of the revenue Had tlie Land- holders seen in time the ruinous consequences of the system thev have for nearly thirty years sup] x> rted, tiie'sr tenants might have been still thriving and their property safe— but better late than never: and when we find the immediate? supporters , jf MinkU rs eitfor gizing the conduct of our excellent Representative, Mr. HUME, we should still indulge Hope. It now apjjears, that Russia and Austria are about to interfere in the difli rences between the Sublime Porte and the revolted Greek provinces, and it is more than probable, that Turkey in Europe will fall into the hands of the Emperor ALEXAN- DER. We regarded tfie cause of the Greeks as hopeless, upon the supposition that thev had en- tered upon their enterprise contrary to the will of the Autocrat of Russia ; but although he pro- fessed to disapprove of the insurrection, and recalled the Prince YpsrLANTJ, there is reason to think, that the insurgents from the'first depend- ed upon his support. Whether the great powers had deigned to communicate their plans to our very sagacious Statesmen we do not with certainty know ; but it is probable, that the Emperor ALEXANDER follows up his schemes of aggrandisement without the least regard to the sentiments of the British Cabinet. He may think it good policy to keep up appearances with the jailors of NAPOLEON, but our influence and power have vanished w'ith our money. In the mean time, it is painful to think of the situation of the Christians in Constantinople, some have been mas- sacred, all the Christian Churches have been thrown down, and even Ambassadors and their families must confine themselves to their houses. A gene- ral massacre of the Christians is much to be feared, and some of them have contrived to escape by night, to save themselves from the impending catastrophe. Our Readers are well acquainted with the fact, that the King of Sweden and Norway is no real le- gitimate, but merely a man of talents and worth.— Differences have of late arisen between him and his subjects, which there is reason to believe have 1 tecfomented by some of his powerful neighbours ; and we shall not be surprised, if the Emperor Ar. RX- ANDEtt soon finds out the necessity of taking Swer den and Norway under his protection. BIRTHS At Maize Hill, Greenwich.

Yet in spite of this extmordinarv longevity, he re- tained the full use of all his faculties, and was able to walk about till within a very short pot- tod before his death. At Tain, on the 8th instant, Mrs. MACKENZIE Ross of Aldie. We hear from a Correspondent at Woolwich, that a Caledonian Society, ( consisting of non- commissioned Of- ficers and Privates of the Royal Artillery, Nativesof Scot- land), has existed there for eleven years past; the object of tiiis Society is, to afford relief to such Natives of Scot- land, or their Orphans, as are not entitled to Parochial Support in that part of the country. The said Society has likewise been lately admitted on the list of Governors of the Scottish Hall and Corporation of London, which entitles them to the privilege of recommending distressed Natives of Scotland to that institution every month, for a free passage home, or other charitable assistance. The Bounty of. this Society has already enabled many distress- ed objects to proceed to their native country ; and it certainly reflects very great credit on our countrymen in England, to form institutions lor such laudable and be- nevolent purposes. The Scottish Malt Bill, for reducing, for a time to be limited, the duty on malt made from bear or bigg only for home consumption in Scotland, was presented and read a first time on Friday the 15th inst. in the House of Commons, and was to be ri a 1 a second time on Tuesday. The Committee recommended, that there should be a drawback on Malt used in ( lis illation of Is. per bushel ; and a deduction in favour of Ifigg of. Dd. The same day the Scottish Distillery Drawback Bill, for allowing to distillers of spirits for home consumption in Scotland a drawback of a portion of the duty on mult used by them, and for the farther prevention of smug- gling of spirits on the borders of Scotland and England, was also presented and read a first time; to be read a second time on Tuesday. Lately, a horse in a cart took fright in King Street, when the countryman, to whom they belonged, attempt- ing to stop the horse, was thrown down, and so inuch in-- jured by the furious animal, and by the cart passing over him, that be died some days ago in consequence. Some industrious individuals have been deprived of their property, by a system of Swindling which has of late been successfully practised here. Persons in the as- sumed character of servants, or otherwise, bringing baskets suitable for their purpose, under the false pretence of orders from respectable Families, or from the Shipping, have obtained liquors especially, and various articles, to a considerable value, from Slr- pkeepers, who unwarily listened to their plausible stories withouttimeousl^ making the proper i. nquiry. The depressed state of the Prices of Cattle, which we have had occasion to take notice of at some of the late Fairs continues without improvement; and at Greenburn, on Wednesday last, was particularly exemplified, in the farther reduction at which the fine Shew of Cattle there were offered, without, except in a few instances, finding purchasers. Horses were altogether unsaleable. At Trinity- muir horse market, on Friday last, a fair show of horses appeared. Stiles veiy dull ; the pick of draught horses were purchased at from £ 25 to ^," 0 ; and a great number remained unsold. Every kind of stuck disposed of at this market has been from 30 to 40 percent, below the prices of last year at this season. On Thursday, the show of cattle at Dun's- muir market, was rather less than usual : stiles were very dull ; and those that were effected, w- ere at slill farther red need prices. In a gentleman's garden, near the Windmill- brae, full ripe Cherries were gathered on Monday last. They. grew on the open wall, wiih a south exposure. We have already seen several hunches of ripe Currants which grew in the same neighbourhood. The London Gazette, of Tuesday the 12th instant, Xher/ 1 are { wo. front w5u< J » ra - in - l'. t- sJinp, » iur'i most distant receives a branch, extending to the length of twelve feet nini inches. By means of a small opening iti the flooring, another branch proves no small ornament and beauty to the room tihttve. The height of this branch above ground is almost incredible, b » ing no less than 1 * feel !> inches. The rapidity and extent of its growth are equally remarkable. Its branches shoot forth sponta- neously, without requiring the least care to the promotion of their growth. The only attention necessary ; pruning, without which, in a very short time, it would intercept : the light of the windows. It continues green the whole year round, and presentsa vernal appearance in the depth of winter. It is of that kind commonly known by th^ name of the cabbage rose, and blossoms annually about ' i month earlier thap those exposed to the open air. S ) numerous are its flowery progeny, that no less than one hundred and fifty roses have been numbered at one time ' ort its luxuriant and prolific branches ; presenting an ap- pearance of beauty, we may venture to piououncc, un- paralleled in the united kingdom. l> n Wednesday hist, as one of Mr. Barclay's servant* 1 at the North Water Bridge was working a circular saw, he received a severe cut completely across the inside of , one of his hands. He was only a few minutes gone by I the coach to lirechin, in order to procure surgical aid. ; when Mr. Barclay himself, w ho was engaged in foi ward- ing the same work, had the- misfortune to get his left hand most severely injured. The first joint of the fore finger was completely cut off, and that of the middle finger nearly so, and tne thumb was very much lacerated. These accidents, happening in immediate succession* ought to operate as a warning to persons working that very powerful, and of course dangerous tool. SUTHERLAND TENANTRY.— Since our last publication, we have been favoured with an accurate ami more detailed account of the proceedings in Sutherland ; and as erroneous reports are frequently circulated on such occasions, we subjoin the substance of our information. On Wednesday the CIH instant, a constable and two wit- nesses were sent to eject the tenants of Grunts. He was compelled to desist by threats of violence, The deforce- ment having been reported to the Sheriff he ordered a company of the 41st Regiment to the ground on Fiid. iy, to support the civil power, and enforce the execution of thfc law, which was happily effected quietly, the peop'e having fled from one pendicle, w hile those who reu,. lined offered no* resistance. Two persons who had been con- cerned in tire former deforcements were made prisoners, aiul sent to Dornoch. The officers and soldiers of tho 41st behaved with the greatest possible propriety on tbo occasion ; and our correspondent adds, that their general- good conduct while resident in Dornoch has procured them the esteem of the inhabitants, and makes their de- parture regretted. The Sheriff acted like a good magis- trate, and with the greatest moderation and humanity, and did not resort to military force until it became ab- solutely necessary, to establish the peace of the country. It is hoped that the people have seen the folly of resisting thecivil power ; and we are happy to learn, that most of them can be accommodated for a term, if they desire it, and that there is every disposition to conciliatory measures.

Mr. Curwen last evening in the House of Com- mons, on moving the order of the day for the House to resolve itself into a Committee on the Bill for the Repeal of the Agricultural Horse Tax, announced that Ministers had abandoned their opposition to the measure. The Chancellor of the Exchequer and the Marquis of London- derry confirmed this statement and the Bill was ordered to \ be committed. A long conversation took place on the sub-. | ject ; in the course of which the Noble Marquis staled i that no new tax was intended^ o supply tlie delicieney, but j he wished it to be understood that Ministers, in conscnt- \ ing to the present repeal, did not mean to preclude them- j selves from recurring to this tax in the ensuing Session* should it be found necessary. We have taken from a Journal of yesterday an account stating, that it is* the intention of Russia and Austria to in- terfere in the disturbances in Turkey. This acconnt is confirmed by the intelligence which hasanived from other quarters, and can hardly fail to receive geneial belief. Wo saw from the fir^ t that things would come to this. As men and Christians we cannot but hail the prospect of a termination to the dreadful outrages committed by the Turks, and to wish most cordially for the emancipation of the Greeks from their ruihless tyrants. We lament, however, that this good must be purchased by the aggran- dizement of a State already but too powerful. The effect of this interference must be to throw the finest portion of Europe into the arms of Russia, from whose gra p nr » power will be afterwards able to wrest it. If the Greeks are saved by Alexander, and are to consider themselves aa under Russian protection, Turkey in Europe is at an end* and Alexander is Lord of. Constantinople, A nominal Sovereignty may still be allowed to the Ottomans for a few; years, but Russia will all the whife be striking her roots in the country, and the hold which she will thus be enabled to take, will soon set hostility at defiance. contains an order of the King in Council lor suspending v"' , s"" n f '" hance. the ballot or imolmeiit of the local militia for one year I , ® , n,^ rs i! » ve clf, arly alll, m; « 1 ""--. nselves to be duped from the 27th iust. • Kl! ss'a- i '"">' are now pjaced in a most embarrassing FRtCE OF PROVISIONS, & C.
