THE REFLECTOR, No. r, BY ANTHONY OLDCASTLE, ESQ, HONORARY MEMBER OF THE PERTH ANTIQUARIAN SOCIETY- TT . is my intention, Mr. Editor, provided the propria » meet with your approbation, to ". end you every two or thrre weeks, an article under the above title. I shall not pr. O'nis* to do it more frequently, lest I should disappoint any of your readers, who I have no doubt will get very fond of me, wlien we are more intimately acquainted. Agreeably to immemorial practice in works of merit, it will be proper to begin my labours by giving you some account of what I am. and of what may be expected from me. The anxiety of the public, to be made familiarly acquainted with those who shed blood or ink for their amusement, is vcy great j and indeed is so natural in it « elf. that it would ill he- come me^ who am destined , to be a very great in my small way, altogether to neg'ect it. The lives of Dr JOHN- SON, the Duke of WELLINGTON, TRISTRAM: SHANDY, and other illustrious characters, have filled many volumes; let it not then be supposed that ANTHONY OLDCASTLE, Esq. is too pre- sumptuous in occupying half a colymn ofa newspaper wilh at> account ofhis. Of illustrious ancestry I have nothing to boast, but that J have had as many ancestors as even I OK is ( e Desire, J never entertained a doubt. I believe I am descended from a long line of citizens of Aberdeen, who were no doubt very good men in their day. If any of them ever performed grea^ actions, they have been lost to the world for want of a Recorder } but tiadition confidently affirms, that my grandmother, by t. ha father's side, was one of the best trairipers of stockings either within or without the Ports of Aberdeen, it is also certain* that from tbe time my worthy father gave over dying worsteds, tartan plaids had gradually dwindled almost altogether out of fashion, until the I'attle of Waterloo brought them onoe more into repute. Little more than twenty years ag- o, wh& n black silk cloaks and Camperdown calicoes had nearly turned our gpod ladies' heads, those who, like me, h$ 4 a reverence Con the characters and clothes of our forefathers, were afraid, that long before now, this venerable weed, which is at least as ancient as the days ofthe Patriarch JACOR,* would no more ha seen in our street^. But thanks to the exertions of the gallant Forty Twa* and the Aberdeen Celtic Society, the tartan once more received into favour, although alas! its brick- dust; red, and rusty copper- purple, give U, P idt'Q of bright ,> and cerulean tints of former days. Such, Mr. Editor, is all the history I can gt've you of my ancestry.

Tn ft ticichhwiring country town, fourteen miles from » W< ci'v. fi regiment was lately quartered, one of tlie officers of w' icli I > di? ed in the hou^ e of a respectable shopkeeper, who was a Protestant, and who had a very handsome daughter of the same persuasion. The young ladv attracted the particular attention ofthe officer ; her father spoke to him on the subject — in whom lie replied, that he would marry the daughter if he had the consent of her father— which was granted. In a few davs after, he called the father aside, and showed a letter pur- porting to come from his rich old uncle, resident in Scotland, whom he represented lobe worth L. SO. OOp. and whose heir he was. This letter stated, that he ( the uncle), would disown the nephew, and disinherit him. if he married any girl who was not a Roman Catholic— to which persuasion the officer said he belonged. The girl being attached, and the father anxious to have his daughter ( as lie hoped) well provided for, offered no objection to the condition ; and ail matters being finally arranged, the officer set off for this city, to procure ihe l[ vrf\ e. lie returned with the document, purporting to be stoned by Or. Tuohy, the Roman Catholic Bishop of this diocese. The Rev. Mr. II- , parish priest of li.. not aware of any deceit, performed the mania" e reiemony, and the parties lived together for sometime, apparently very happy.— At leiig. h it was discovered that the officer was elLctitig, or had effected, an exchange into a regiment now stationed ill the West Indies, without. acquainting his lovely and iillsiis- jie< led w ife. and also, that he was repeatedly heard to declare lb,- it ihe girl he lived with was not his wife, that she was a Roman Catholic, and lie was a Protestant ; that no ceremony of a U Ornish priest could make the marriage lawful. The young lady and her familv became naturally much alarmed, and oil bringing the gentleman to account., he begged leave to decamp. The necessary steps have been taken to bring him to order ; and thus this disgraceful affair rests at present. Vie hive declined giving the names of the parties, forseveral reasons * but. at another time, we will resume the subject, When we trust the mueli injured lady, and her afflic'ed parents, will have ample satisfaction. It is the opinion of ihe best lawyers, lhat, even as the marriage Sow stands, it is quite valid in point of law.

SUFFOLK FOX DINNER— REFORM. On Wednesday se'ehnight the Gentlemen of tlie Countv of Suffolk, attached to the principles which guided the public conduct of CHAIU. BS JAMES FOX, j assembled and dined together at Ipswich, for the pur- i pose of celebrating the birth- dav of that distinguished Statesman. No room in tbe town being large enough to accommodate the numerous company, the dinner fool; place iri the Corn Exchange, wliich was very taste- fully prepared for the occasion. The event excited great interest in the town, and at intervals during the day the bells of the Tower Church rang a merry peal, j At six o'clock Sir Henry Bunhury took the chair, at j which about 300 most resectable gentlemen had seated • themselves round the tables. Near the Chairman sat : the following gentlemen :— Thomas Clarkson Chenery, Esq. John Morelev, Esq. J. Macdonald, Esq. M. P. A. Arcedechne, Esq. Sir Robert llarland, Lord Henry FitZroy, Lord Huntingfield, Sir \ V. Middleton, T. 15. I. enuard, Esq. M. P. John Dismev, Esq. John Ar- eourt, Esq. Powell, Esq. Captain Worth, Tho- mas Green, Esq. Thomas Pearson, Esq. and Eagle, Esq. & c. The Chairman gave, " The King and Constitution," with three times three"— " The Royal Family." The Chairman said, that before he proposed the toast which stoiid next on the list, it might be expected that he should oiler a few remaiks to the company. He considered that they were performing a duty by showing their attachment to those principles of civil and reli- gious liberty which Mr. Fox had so boldly and elo- qentlv asserted. Mr. Fox's opinions resembled those of old Richard Rumbold. He did not think that God sent the majority of mankind into the world with bridles in their mouths, and saddles on their backs, in order that a few of their species mgit mount and ride them, ( applause.) Mr. Fox thought that the source of legi- timate pmver was in the people ; that prerogatives were given to the King, not for his own benefit, but for that t, f the people; that fixation without representation was unconstitutional; that it was not sufficient that the laws w- re ostensibly equitable, but that the greatest care was necessary to prevent their perversion ; that when the people are oppressed and redress cannot be obtained by petition, resistance is righteous and constitutional, butonlv when undertaken with that probability of suc- cess which distinguished the wise schemes of the patriot from the rash enterprises of the political adventurer.— ( cheers.)— The Hon. Baronet concluded with propos- ing the " Immortal memory or Charles James Fox."—( Cheers.) The toast was drank in silence. " The Duke of Sussex, and the principles which placed his family on the throne," was next drank w ith three times three •— Tune, " Scots wha hae wi' Wallace bled." Sir W. Middleton stated, that he had received a communication wliich stated that his Royal Highness had been prevented by indisposition from attending the meeting. The Chairman said, he could not permit the next fonst to go forth unaccompanied with some observations. There were some persons w ho professed to be friends of reform, who held opinions to which he could not give his assent. These gentlemen admitted it was extremely desirable, nay, perhaps, almost necessary, to obtain an extensive reform ; but thev said that the times were against us, and that we should take what we could get, however little, even the least particle of reform ; and if we could not obtain this, would have us to console our- selves because British freedom was still secured by the trial bv Jury and the press. With the greatest defer- ence, he believed, that when Parliament, which was the high court of appeal and last resort of the subject, was placed beyond the influence of the people, and be- came corrupt, all the rest was a nullity ; the trial by Jury was but a name, and the liberty of the press lav at the mercy of the enemies of the people ( applause.)— The example of the reigu of Charles the Second was sufficient to convince the people of England, how little good laws can protect the subject, if those who admi- nistered them were wicked or profligate. Fox said, that a magistracy, when it wished to act tyrannically, stood in little need of tyrannical laws to enable it to execute its purpose; the bare acquiescence of the Legislature in such a case was sufficient to annihilate every right ofthe people. • " A constitutional, effectual, and speedy Reform in the Commons' House of Parliament."— Tune, Kick the rogues out. " The cause of civil and religious liberty throughout the world." w hich was drank with three times three. " Mav the public purse never be violated for the purposes of corruption." " Mav the ties which bind mankind be the Ilalv Alliance of benevolence, freedom, and integrity, and not the unholy one of ambition, tyranny, and corruption." •' The triumphant emancipation 3nd speedy acknowledg- ment of the Independence of Columbia." » • The health of Lord Henry Fitzroy." Lord II. FiOiroy returned thanks. The influence of such meetings as the present upon the result of their ef forts was evident ir the number of Snffolkmen who had been added to the friends of reform, and in the conduct of their opponents. Surely 110 people had ever been so galli' V so swindled of their understandings, as well as their money, as the lauded interest of this country, ( cheers.) If the Reformers would steer clear of ex- tremes, and attend only to tlie dictates of reason and common sense, he could anticipate the ultimate triumph of their cause, ( lotrd and continued applause.) • I. ord Albemarle and the Reformers of Norfolk." Mr. Macdonald rose ami. lst load applause. He de- v> ribed with much humour the crumbling state of the ' Vt Clubs. The Pitt Club of Norfolk had been ad- irned sine die} and lie had heard of a Pitt meeting s year, at which the number of votaries corresponded • jttv exactly with that of the Muses, ( a laugh ) In another place, at a similar meeting, the members mus- tered precisely the number of the Grates, ( laughter.)— When he considered all those circumstances, he could not help being of opinion, that the Country Pitt Clubs were in a galloping consumption : thev exhibited all the mortal Symptoms. Still the burden of their song was, " The Pilot who weathered the storm." Weathered the storm ! Good God I Let these men- turn their eves to the Continent of Europe, and contemplate the ' Revolutions which have been successful, and those which were in progress, and would, unless the safety valve of popular representation were* opened, be con- summated wiih a force and clamour that would shake all Europe to its centre— let them turn their eye to the league of despots, the fruit, the only fruit of our 25 years of war— let them consider the alteration since the peace, of coercive and restrictive measures in England — let them survey the ruin of the agricultural interest, and of the shipping interest, the latter of which the Go- vernment was prevented from lending assistance to by acknowledging the independence of South America, be- cause that would be inconsistent with the principles of tbe Holy Alliance ; let them do all this, and then re- peat, if thev could, that the storm was passed away, ( loud cheers.) " The Patriots of Spain and Portugal," was then drank with peculiar approbation. r. Cooper and ihe independent part of the British Bar" w as drank with great applause." Mr. Cooper rose to return thanks, and delivered a very eloquent address. Perhaps nothing could more strongly indicate the corrupt state of the House of Commons than the manner in which it resisted the ef- forts of Mr Fox. To them the matchless eloquence of that great man was poured forth in vain; their ears were stopped with gold— they had no sense of any thing ex- cept that of touch to the bribes ofthe Treasury. The Learned Gentleman concluded by saving, that he hop- ed, that if the people should fail in all their peaceable attempts to obtain Reform, they would have spirit to imitate the conduct of their ancestors. " Lord Erskine and Trial by Jury," " May Turkish despotism fall before the Greek fire," " The Representatives of Ipswich, Win ILtldimand and Thomas Barrett Leonard. Esqrs." Mr. Leonard returned thanks, and declared his Strong attachment to the cause of Reform. The meeting broke up shortly after 11 o'clock. PA R LI A M E N TAR Y R E F0 R M. YORK MEETING, Aug. 22. Mr. W. B. Fawkes having some time since published a letter, calling upon the friends of reform to meet him at Etteridge's Hotel in the city on the 22d inst. for the purpose of considering, what steps it would be most ex- pedient to take in the present alarming state of the country, a considerable number of gentlemen assembled at that house at 12 o'clock this day, soon after which the room was filled. Among the persons present we observed — Mr. Fawkes, Mr. Chaloner, Sir W. Inglebv, Mr. Svkes, Col. Cradock, Mr. Wentworth, Sir H. Vavasor, Sir G. Cavlev, Mr. Wyvill, Gen. Wharton, Hon. E. Petre, J. trompton, M. P. Mr. Stapvkon, Col. Cook, Mr. C. Wilson, Mr. Leigh, Mr. Crompton of Wood- end, Mr. Walker, Mr. Tottie, Mr. Rawson ( Shef- field), Mr. D. Gaskell, Mr. Barlow, Mr. Witham, Mr. Maud, Mr. Dealt rv, Mr. Meyncll, Jnn. Mr. J. Hague of Rose Crag, Mr. J. Hutton, Mr. Bourne, Mr. Scroope of Dauby, Mr. Egremont, Mr. Ilaynes, & e. There being a general cry of " Chair, Chair!" Mr. W. B. Fawkes came forward, and begged to offer some apology for the situation in which he stood, and to explain the reasons which induced liiin to call this meeting. If he was asked the motives which induced him now to come forward, he would state, that his an- swer was written in legible characters— in the dangerous stale in which the country was placed— in the acts and language of the last Session of Parliament, ( applause.) In the distress to which one part of the people of the kingdom were reduced, and in the anticipated misery wliieh threatened the other— in the starvation by which the people of Ireland had been visited in tbe midst of plenty, and the general ruin which threatened a great portion of the empire, ( applause) It was to be found in a profusion of expenditure not to be equalled in the annals of history— a billion and a half of public money having been expended in the course of 29 years, making near 3,000,0001. per week, or about 500,0801. for every working day, ( applause.) It was to be found in an overwhelming taxation and an overwhelming debt— a debt, the interest of which could not continue to be paid without the risk of bringing about a great national convulsion, unless some arrangement was made with the public creditor, which would be at once satisfactory to him and to the public at large. But this was an event which he hoped never would take place,. unless accom- panied by a reform in Parliament. It would further be found in the influence possessed not so nnich bv the Crown as liv the Oligarchy, by the borough influence in the House of Commons. That influence it was that caused all the miseries which tlity had endured, all the miseries which they still endured, and which they were likely to endure as long as the present corrupt system was allowed to exist. It must further be found in a curious report of a Committee of the House of Com- mons, by which it appeared that one hundred and nine of their members received no less a sum than 209,8431. exclusive of the fees of office, the whole of which was taken out of their pockets, out of that public purse of which thev ( the House of Commons) had been appoint- ed the constitutional guardians. By a careful perusal of that list, thev would find, that a majority of the House of Commons were returned by Peers, bv the Aristocracy, and those immediately connected with them. Gracious God ! could any man 111 that room, or in the country, lay his hand to his heart, and without any feeling of prejudice, say that a House of Commons so constituted was one to which the lives, the properties, and the liberties of the people of England ought to be committed ? ( loud applause.) It would be read in the proceedings of that alliance, falsely and impiously called holy ; an alliance which had made England the ally of despotism, and the enemy of freedom all over the world. kept to their d. itv by bribery aW corrupt influence? ( applausj.) There was a time/ tlo, when there exist- ed a dread- of taxation ; for there was an old adage, which said. " that no tilings were certain but taxation and death." Now, indeed, the case was different.— Ministers told us first, that a reduction of taxation would add to the distresses of the country; secondly, that it would be an interference with the Great Author of nature ; thirdly, that taxation was a dispensation of Providence, ( a'laugh); and, fourthly, that our dis- tresses from taxation were but temporary, and would be cured on the principles of resurrection, ( a laugh.) Let the people say or do what they might, thev could obtain no relief. Ifthey grumbled, it was s lid that thev were impatient; if they sat down silently under their suffering, it was said they w ere Satisfied. There was a time when there existed a strong jealousy 0I5 and when objections were made against the continuance of a standing army, when knowledge was considered as power, the source of wealth and happiness, and the best security forthe pre- servation of virtue and public . order. But now a stand- ing army was cherished, and knowledge was a nuisance to Ministers, in the counter- scale to which t'icy found it neccsiary to throw the whole influence and corrup- tion of- office. Who did not feel insulted when he heard the constitution of this country pointed out as the envy and admiration of surrounding nations? Who could hear tftat language used without" entertaining a fear that under such a flattering disguise there lurked a latent design, of governing that country i'n future without re- ' sponsibility or control? The dominion under which we were sinking had nothing to do with the constitution. It was the offspring of fraud, cunning, and corruption. It commenced with the Septennial act— it was nursed by the Walpdles — it grew up with giant strength under the Pelh. nrs— it had increased, was increasing, and mi- less diminished, it would overpower and destroy the rights and liliprti^ ofthe people of England, ( applause.) How the evils Under which we laboured were to be names. I bade him calm himself, and told liiiVj he had acted like an honest man. ' You have been guilty, bat you have done a great service to Government bv vour- discoveries ; you must give a more detailed account.*— He thou drew from his boot the blade of a poniard, with which he, as well as the other conspirators were provid- ed, to commit suicide, 111 case of detection." The Colonel arrested the persons pointed out bv this repentant conspirator and weepino' informer. Goupillon himself, one ofthe prisoners, being interro- gated concerning the facts stated by his Colonel, the fol- lowing scene occurred : PRESIDENT— You came, Goupillon, to. your Colonel. You appeared troubled. You shed tears Goupillon { with emotion)— Yes, doubtless. I shed bitter tears ; but it appears that tiie Colonel had been informed be- fore by Choulet. PRESIDENT — The Colonel has declared 011 his oath, no. Goupillon— I play herein infamous part, and I prefer death to infamy. VIENNA, August 14.— Since the 11th preparations have been making here at the place of the Residence, for the reception ofthe Emperor Alexander, whose tirrrival will take place about the 7th of September. His Majesty will be accompanied by three Adjutant Generals, amongst whom is mentioned Count Schonwaloff. It is I probable the Emperor of Russia will stay some time at | Vienna, for it appears the Sovereigns or the foreign ! Ministers will hold conferences here, previous to going to l a a j Verona. A thousand conjectures are in circulation, and obtain I more or less credit, relatively to the objects of riegoci- > ation ; one of' them is of such a nature as to induce mc to i communicate it, although I do not place much faith in it. ' It is said that the three great powers which made the j divisions, or' Poland have agreed to give up their respec- j tive portions, and to restore that kingdom with a So- j vereign, who is a native of the country, and free from | all foreign influence.

He repulsed the Greeks on the 7th July with a considera- ble loss, but the next day he suffered a total defeat. It is said that four Pachas have been made prisoners, but the Porte still conceals the dispatches it has received, especially from the foreign Ministers. Chourscbid Pacha had joined the Pachas of Negro- pont, Larissa, and Janina. His forces were estimated at 90,000 men, but a great part was undisciplined mi- litia and banditti.

A Contaiittee, consisting of some of the first Gen- tlemen of the county in point of property and respecta- bility, were then appointed. " Every part of Mr. Fawkes' Address," says the Leeds Mercury—" was heard with the most marked attention, except when Mr. Fawkes was interrupted by the cheers of the company; and at the close of his speech three distinct rounds of applause served to con- vey to the speaker the sense this highly resoectabie as- sembly entertained of his public conduct." counts, perhaps exaggerated, reckon the loss ofthe Ot- tomans at 50,000 men, that oft. be Greeks at 18,000. Tba consequences of this event may be very important. General Count Normaim was saluted by the Greeks as Prince ; they carried him on shields through FOREIGN INTELL1GENCE. FROM FRENCH PAPERS. PARIS. Aug. 24— The French Academy began to- 1 • dav, according to custom the celebration of the festival of Saint Lonis, by a low mass, which was performed at half past ten in the morning, at the parochial and Rova! Church of St. Germain l'Auxerrois. The Bishop of Hermopolis officiated. Several Members'of the French Academy and other Members ofthe Institute, occupied in the nave their accustomed places. The p inegvric of the King- Saint was delivered bv the Abbe Feutrier. In this discourse the orator undertook to prove that the virtues aud great actions of St. Louis, of which he pre- sented an animated and rapid sketch, had their source in religion ; and he gave the chief glory of it to the ex- cellent education he had received from Queen Blanche. It appeared to us that this e/ nge was worthy, in res- pect to style, of the enlightened auditory to which it was specially addressed, and that in other respects it could not but add to the reputation of one of the orators whose talents now most honour the Christian pulpits of th" ca- pital. At two o'clock the Academy opened its public sitting for the distribution of prizes of Eloquence, l'oetrv, and Virtue. The sitting was long and brilliant. The late hour when it finished obliges us to defer an account of it til! to- morrow.— Journal des Dchats. We have in these papers the fourth day's proceeding in the affair of Rocheile.

They are preparing to depart, and in order to avoid the troubles of Constantinople, thev will receive the horse tails, the mark of their dignity, at Adrianopic. The Pacha of Silistria will put the Kulca ( Prince's cap) on them. They will be accompanied, it is said, by 2000 Turks, for a guard, which is contrary to the treaty of Bucharest. Their agents will be all Turks, and they will be subjected to the Seraskier of Silistria, so that they will only have a shadow of power. Some days ago the Porte recalled the Finnans which had been granted to several French vessels destined for Odessa, under the pretext that many French were serv- ing with the Insurgents In the Morea. The French Ambassador, M. L3t01. tr- Maubaurg, had made remon- strances which have hitherto been without effect. SEMLIN, July 18.— News from Belgrade, which ar- rived yesterday, announces that the Greeks obtained a very important victory on the 8th of July, at'Patrazig, between Larissa and Salona. Letters from Bitoglia, of the 16th of July, say that three Pachas, and among them the cruel Drain- Ali, have been taken priso- ners, with 11,000 Turks. The number of the killed is said to be still greater. The Greeks were commanded bv the Generals Ypsilanti, Normann, and Bozzaris.— The brave Odvsseus was killed. practised bv Ministers towards the people, and their studious inattention to their petitions and complaints; and in the intolerable course of vacillating corruption and extravagance of which the people hail been so long the unhappy victims. The people have had their eves steadily fixed upon Parliament, and what was the result ? day. The memory of this man's wife was equally un- availing to the prosecution.

No, nothing; nothing was . s5 heard in Parliament but doctrines contravening those principles which our ancestors had established and ce- mented with their blood, and handed down to us as their last and most invaluable blessing. In former ' times the ! principle's of liberty had received mouth honours at least. It was reserved for the people of the prfjent day to hear the follow ing sentiments broadly stated in Parliament: " I hat it is essential to the perfection of a representative body that it shmtid not he iden/ ified with, hut chosen for the people.; and that it is a signal merit in the British House of Commons, that it does not amount to a drrcct delegation from the people." There was a time, when, I by the Act of Settlement, placemen were prevented from | sitting in Parliament, but now their presence was stated | to be necessary to preserve the King upon his throne, j and support the constitution. Were the men who held ] of his corps, w hile he describes " how p. unf'nl it is for a Chief, accustomed to treat his subordinate officers as his children, to depose against them," he consoles himself with the idea that is the only instance in which its honour has been tarnished. We give the following passage of his evidence, which describes in rather a characteristic manner the sentimentality of a French informer :—" On the 19th of March, Goupillon asked to speak to me I remarked in his features a great change. He was pale : tears gushed from his eyes. I observed that he spoke of any thing but that which he wished to say, ' I am certain,' said I, ' that you have something important to communicate. We may commit faults ; we may become criminal, but we cannot cease to be esteemed when we confess the error.' What I said melted him to tears; and with an accent of the most lively repentance, lie re- such doctrines aware of tire results which followed from them ? Could there be a better argument urged in fa- vour of reform, than that the King could not hold his throne without the aid of bribery and corruption ; or that, on the other hand, the Members of Parliament were so sunk, so lost to shame and decency, that thev FROM GERMAN PAPERS. NUREMBERG, Aug. 13.— The inquiry into the secret associations 111 some universities having been terminated, the following particulars have transpired. There are two principal associations of this kind, the Arminia and the 1' olonia. The first is a continuation of the great association of students known by the name of Burschens-. chaff. This having been prohibited ail over Germany, by the resolution ofthe Diet of September 20, 1819, the students of some universities met at different places, and resolved that this association should continue. The universities situated near to each other having agreed; on the general points, a general meeting was held in the beginning of September 1820, at Dresden, where, after many days discussion, the continuance of the general association, under the name of Arminia, was determin ed upon. The protocol ofthe proceedings has been ob- tained. The object of the association was at the same time rendered more political, for wliich reason the original motto of " Freedom, honour, and country I" was chang- ed to " Freedom, honour, and equality I"— and thus the association was no longer confined, as it had lieen, to German students, but . was extended to foreigners, and thus a way opened to fraternization with similarly disposed students in France, Poland, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Italy, & e and it is from this time that the number of travelling students has increased. The Ar- minia differs in many points, much to its disadvantage, from the former general association, as it was commenc- ed and founded in open and even insolent opposition to the decrees of the Diet ; it was distinguished also bv quarrels and a rude tone, which of late we have heard so much of in affrays in some Universities. This mav be pretty well accounted for bv the fact, that the Ar- min'a chiefly consisted of the first levy from the ancient tonrneying places, and of tournevers who had been brought up in that system from their tender years, and whose motto was " I'roz unitrm Hut."—( Defiance un- der the hat). By the unwearied exertions of the Prus- sian authorities, particularly ofthe University of Berlin, the Arminia, with its protocol and statutes, have been discovered, and proved by judicial inquiry. The foun- ders and members are sentenced, according to the laws of the confederation and ofthe kingdom, to relegation and exclusion from public offices, as ancient and modern ill vealed to me that there existed a plot— that tlie tn- color 1 - i , 1 • 1 1 ,„ , n , , • , , , ,1 laws prescribe, and which alone can put an enectual Hag was to be hoisted— that fire was to be put to the ' .

Aug. 20.— The uncertainty as to the ^ true state of affairs in Greece is greater than ever ; all thut is known is, that important events have taken place, wliich each party interprets according to its predilections. [[ The writer then recapitulates the version of the transac- tions in Greece, which the Austrian Observer has given, and adds/] To this afflicting news the friends of' Grecce oppose private letters from Vienna of the same date as the Observer. Thev maintain, that this Journal con- tradicts the victory of the Greeks, merely upon the sys- tem to give strength to its political opinions. They affirm, that Lord_ Strauoford himself, in a letter received at Vienna, admitted, that the Greeks had obtained a vie-' tory ; thev even circulate a more detailed narrative of the advantages obtained by the Greeks. This narra- tive, true or false, makes the time of the battle the 13thj 14th, and 15th of July ( new style). The narrative is dated July 8th, old style, or July 20, new style. A Proclamation of Prince Demetrius Ypsilanti to the Greeks is appended to the narrative. He reminds' them of the fate of Chio, and the necessity of fighting for their hearths, their wives, their children, and their own lives. Young Bozzaris died fighting ; his last sigh was Ehttheria— liberty. AUGUST 21.— Immediately after the death ofthe Capitaa Pacini, it appears, that the Sultan, who desir- ed to revive the courage ofthe lurks, < Tave orders to Chourschid Pacha to strike 11 decisive stroke. Chonrs- chid, in fact, made a general levy of all the Mahoincdans in Macedonia between the ages of twelve and sixty. In concert with eight Pachas and forty eight Beys who were with hiir., he then called together all his officers, and re- quired thenr to conform to the will of the Sultan. On the following day the first contest took place, and 011 the following one, the great battle, the resist of which thu next courier mil inform us correctly. ODESSA, July 2.5.— It is reported that the Russian fleet in the Black Sea, fourteen ships strong, is to be armed at Sebastopol. God forbid that we should maku it be believed that this is the commencement of hostilities, but perhaps there is a plan of intimidating the Turks when they shall have recovered the panic which the death of the Captain Pacha has caused them, to obtain at least some ofthe conditions of the last ultimatum. It is only to be feared that this demonstration will have as little effect upon the Turks as those that have been previously made. AUGUST 1.— The differences with the Porte are re- garded as terminated ; and we shall soon pee if the Greeks can escape the ruin which hangs over them. The mis- trust to the Sultan, who will find it difficult to brin. r all his troops from the borders of the Danube, will be of great service to the Greeks. Some of their partisans flatter themselves that it will he proposed atthe approach- ing Congress, to send to Constautino|> e a General De- ck, ration ofthe Courts of Paris, London, Vienna, ami St. Petersburg, to point out to the Sultan the manner in which these Courts regard the affairs of the Greeks, and to engage him to agree to it ; but as this Declara- tion could not be accompanied by any threat, in conse- quence of the existing amicable relations, it will hardly have the effect expected of it ; and, besides, how many innocent Greeks will be slaughtered before that period ! As we yesterday stated, the Austrian Observer pre- tends that the Greeks were completely defeated ; but tha details appear so obscure and inexact, that we are nearly ready to believe the article was manufactured to favour, as before, speculations on the Exchange. Our own Correspondent from Corfu, dated July 23, informs us, on the contrary, that Chourschid was beat by the Gieeks in the same place. BRUSSELS, Aug. 19.— If , ve may believe a letter from Vienna, of very recent date, an express from Constantinople has brought news of the highest impor- tance, which is said to authorize an expectation of ap- proaching events iu Turkey, which wiii wholly change the face of affairs. COPENHAGEN, Aug. 13.— During this summer several English ship have visited Iceland, for the purpose of filching cargoes of ice, b'O't did not attain their proper object, the expence of conveying the ice to the coast being so great, that it would not answer.— Two of thestf% vessels have perished in the floating ice from' the Polar regions, and only about 20 of the crew saved. AMERICA, ijc. Sir Charles Rowley, the British naval commander on the West India station, has addressed a letter to GenefuS Bolivar, demanding that the Republic - of Columbia should give up the Portuguese renegade Emanuel Nieves, who commanded an armed force, consisting. of four oUn- boots, fitted out in Carupano, under the Spanish fla< r, and murdered, in the month of October 1820, in " a manner remarkable for its barbarity, tlte Englishman, Georoe M' Arthur, master ofthe British schooner Eagle, while : 011 the high seas, t. adiug peacefully from ° St \ incent to Angostura, the master not having offered the slightest insult or provocation. General Bolivar replies, through his Secretary, that the Constitution of Colum- bia prescribes an involable observance of the right of asylum towards all foreigners who take shelter under the protection of the Republic, without inquiring into their previous moral character ; but Nieves having been made a prisoner by the arms of Columbia,. must be responsible liefore the tribunals of that country, " until the condign punishment due to his atrocities shall be inflicted 011 him, lis ah enemy to humankind."

His Majesty' will disembark 5t Greenwich, where be'is cx- I pectet! to arrive in the course of the afternoon, and from whence lie wtfl proceed immediately to Carlton- House. The Lord Mayor will receive his Majesty at Blackball in all due State. A Council is intended to be held by the King at Carlton Ilouse, on Monday, when the ttetv Ministerial appointments will take place ; and on Tues- day or Wednesday his Majesty is expected to leave town for Windsor or Brighton. The Lord Chancellor will not leave town til! after his Majestv's arrival. It is said that his MajeStv II.' KS had it in contemplation totake up his residence at Buckingham House. Itisur. der- stood that Carlton- House is in such a bad state of' re- pair, 011 account of its being situated so low, tiiat it must either be pulled down in a few years, or undergo a complete alteration, and especially as it respects the foun- dation. Wednesday a ballot was taken at the East India House, for the election of a Director in the room of John Inglis, Esq. deceased. At six o'clock the gla. sses were closed and delivered to the scrutineers, who report- ed the election to have fallen on Charles Mills, jun. Esq. There are now no less than three Marchionesses of Londonderry, two of whom are of course Dowagers— namely, the mother ( or rather mother- in- law) ofthe lately deceased Marquis, and his amiable and disconsolate wi- dow. The third is the young Marchioness, wife to the brother of the late Marquis, who has succeeded to his titles. On Friday, Mr. Canning dined with the Canning Club, at Liverpool, according to appointment. At six o'clock 160 gentlemen sat down to dinner, John Glad- stone, Esq. in the Chair ; John Eecles, Esq. Vice- President. On the health of Mr. Canning being given, the Right Honourable Gentleman addressed the com- pany for the space of half an hour, with his accustomed eloquence. About half- past ten, Mr. Canning, the President, and several other gentlemen retired, when the Chair was taken by the Vice- President, and the festivity ofthe evening prolonged to a late hour. THE LATE MARQUIS OF LONDONDERRY. When his Lbftlship's death was first made known at the village of Hambledon, a subscription was immediately set oil f-, ot. and the Church hells actually rung for a considerable time iu the evening. In the village of Sixfield, when intelligence was received of the Marquis of Londonderry's dea; h, the Church bells run? the whale day, as a mark of rejoicing at the event.— London Fa'per. The English people, in ordinary cases, are distinguished by sensibility the mo- t generous and humane. Their universal mourning for that beloved Princess, whose untimely death in the first bloom of happiness deprived every youthful matron cf a model, and a loyal nation of iu dearest hope— the depth 11 nd even refinement of sympathy which then displayed itself among the humblest inhabitants of Great Britain, were enough to demonstrate the natural tendency of our countrymen to- wards just and kind affections, Their biave devotion to the late lamented Queen, who was not a native, nor long an in- habitant of the kingdom, for no reason but because she was innocent and oppressed, is another proof, if proofs were want- ing, of the inherent benevolence of our national character.—. Whence coines it, then, that the remains ofa good man were insulted by a generous people in their passage 10 the tomb ? It was because the people regarded Lord Londonderry as an instrument or an author of much public wrong— of manifold political abuses— of grievous n ational and individual sufferings — of a system of government disgraceful abroad, at home in- supportable— as a conspicuous member and obtrusive organ of an Administration essentially odious. It was from the intense- ness and inveteracy ot persuasions such as those, that the multitude who looked on at this solemn spectacle lostat once all patience and all decency, and marked, by their indifference to the personal merits and final sorrows of the deceased, their abhorrence of him and of his principles as a Minister. Will it now be tjuestiou how the people feel towards the politics of Lord Londonderry and his Colleagues ? The whole course of Government must reform itself in this country. We were never more sensible of it than since we have bad the melancholy food for meditation afforded us by the phenomenon of Tuesday. Much as we had condemned, and often as we had exposed, the measures persevered in by Lord Londonderry and his associates, we were unprepared for such a proof of the impression which they had made upon the hearts ofthe people. Let not the name of rabble" be foolish- ly applied to this unsophisticated class of our fellow- subjects. What the rabble feel strongly, it is certain that many of those who are not rabble think. The poor may not be accurate judges of ( his or that specific measure, but they are infallible in iheir decision whether a sum total be right or wrong. Nor could stronger evidence be looked for ofthe general bad charac- ter of an English Ministry, than that furnished by the perpe tration ofa popular outrage, so truely painful iu its manner, upon the corpse of one of its members.— Times.

To the loss of the Matilda Indiaman we regret to add, that intelligence was received yesterday at Lloyd's, of the ship Fame, Captain Clarke, from Bengal to Madeira, having been wrecked in Table Bay, Cape of Good Hope. It appears she was beating out to sea during the night, with the wind northerly, and'a heavy sea rolling in, whci she drove on shore on the most rocky part of Seapoint, notwithstanding the utmost exertions to save her, by lett- ing go all her anchors, the boats from the bay reached her in sufficient time to save the crew and passengers, with the exception of the following persons, whom we regret to add, unfortunately perished— viz. Mr. VV. H. Coffin, the purser, Mrs. Mills, two children ( Miss Banks and Master Mavon,) and three invalids from- his Majesty's service, passengers. The remaining passen- gers and crew were safely landed by the boats from the bay, the crews of which courageously put off to their rescue, at a considerable distance, at the risk of their lives, and at midnight.

Fully impressed with the advantages which we derive from the union of these kingdoms— deeply sensible of the blessings afforded by the British constitution, and grateful to Provi- dence for placing on the British throne a race of Monarchs alike disposed to maintain that constitution, and to administer justice in mercy, we must ever feel interested in your Ma- jesty's happiness, prosperity, and glory. We are proud to have lived at a period when the Sovereign of these realms lias done our native land the honour to visit it in person ; and we shall long cherish the remembrance of an event as flattering as it is impressive. We anxiously hope that your Majesty may find reason to be satisfi. d with your reception amongst your Scottish subjects ; and that their manifestations of loyalty may confirm that opinion, of this portion of your people, which we venture to trace in the benignity and favour which your Majesty's visit displays. We pray that your Majesty may long reign in peace over a contented and united people; and we trust that in Scotland the memory of your Majesty's goodness in the present instance may for ages rivet those bonds of genuine affection which best unite a people to their King.

Most Gracious Sovereign, We, your Majesty's loyal and faithful subjects, the Noble- men, Lieutenancy, Freeholders, Heritors, Justices of the Peace, and Commissioners of Supply of the County of Banff, impressed with sentiments of genuine respect and veneration for your Majesty's sacred person and government, beg leave humbly to approach the throne, to express onr heartfelt congra- tulations on your Majesty's arrival on these shores ; and to testify our deep sense of your Majesty's gracious condescension in thus visiting your ancient kingdom of Scotland. We felicitate your Majesty on the propitious period thus chosen for coming amongst us, when by the consummate wis- dom and energy of your Majesty's councils, and the glorious and triumphant success of your Majesty's fleets and armies, peace has been restored to these realms, and when, by the blessing of God Almighty, plenty smiles on our land.

Soon after his Majesty's arrival the rain rifoderated, and the Archer£ hat! some practice on the lawn behind the house. After remaining about an hour, his Majes- ty departed with the escort, accompanied by the Earl of Hopetoun. At the western pier of the Queensferrv the King entered his barge at half- past three and was row- ed to the Roval yacht, attended bv a ritunher of boats, atllidst the loudest cheering, which his Majesty gracious- ly acknowledged, and salutes of artillery. The gallant vessel then weighed anchor, being veered round by the tow- rope ofthe JameS Watt steam vessel, and proceeded down the Frith, under salutes from the Castle of Edin- burgh, the artillery on the Calton Hill, the heights on Salisbury Crags, Leith Fort, the shipping in the Roads, and Burntisland, but the weather having again thicken- ed, the effect was in a great measure destroyed. The wind was westerly, but light. Before embarking, his Majesty shook hands with the Lord Chief Commissioner Adam in a most friendly man- ner. He then took the arm of Lord Hopetoun and pro- ceeded down the Pier, along which a green cloth had been spread ; the Duke of Dorset, with some other of- ficers of the household, followed in attendance on their Royal Master. Sir Charles Paget, the Commodore of the Royal Squadron, stood uncovered at the end ofthe platform to receive his Majesty, whom the Earl of Fife accompanied on board. Before entering the barge, his Majesty shook Lord Hopetoun very cordially by the hand, and taking off his travelling cap bowed to the peo- pie. The Earl of Hopetoun was met on his return bv the Archers, a short distance from the park, who halted, opened their ranks, and saluted him as their Captain- General. They re- embarked at Port Edgar, amidst loud cheering. In passing through the city, his Majesty had an ex- cellent opportunity of seeing and being seen, from being in a chaise, affording the gratification of a parting look to a great number of the citizens of his good town, by whom he was loudly cheered. When his Majesty passed the village of the Water of Leith, the whole of the inhabitants of which had anxi- ously waited his approach from ten o'clock, ranged on each side of the road, with the children of the different schools ; the chaise was driven slowly through them, amidst the hearty cheers ofthe multitude, who had thus the gratification of seeing their King before he quitted our shores. Ravelstone gate, the seat of'ihe Knight Marischall Keith, was tastefully adorned with flowers ; and on the house of W. Scott Monerieff, Esq. near the Queensferry, two flags were displayed. A flag was hoisted on the church steeple ofthat town, every house in which was decorated with green boughs. This morning the wind continues westerly, with fine weather.

There was only one lot of Leicester ewes ir. the market, which brought 16s. a- head. Leicester wedders brought from 29s. to 32s. a head. Lambs, according to their quality, sold from 2s. and 9s. each. Scarcely any sale of Lambs being effected at the I. ockerhy market, the fair at Cairnwarth on Wednesday week had a larger supply than was ever seen on that ground. The de- mand was not proportionally brisk. A great number remained unsold; and what was disposed of brought lower prices than at Lanark. Second ewe lambs brought about L. 4 10s. a- senre. The great Horse Fair at Horncastle, which commenced oil Monday the ) 2th inst. has been well attended both by dealers and horses, and much business transacted ; the greater part of the best horses have been disposed of. Hunters were iu great request, and readily sold at good prices; many from I.. 200 to L. 300. Several dealers from Paris attended, and purchased extensively. Upon the whole, it may be considered a very- large fair, and horses of every description ( cxcept inferior nag horses) have fully maintained the late advanced prices. hearts and secured the affections of a loyal nation. We sincerely hope, and confidently anticipate, that the cor- dial receptijn which awaits your Majesty from all ranks, in this part of the united kingdom, and the happy effects arising from the interchange of mutual endearments between a belov- ed Sovereign and a devoted people, will be so strongly maiked, on the occasion of ibis first most gracious visit, as to induce your Majesty at no distant period, again to gratify your faith- ful Scottish subjects by your auspicious and cheering presence among them. We beg to conclude with our most anxious and fervent prayer, that your Majesty may long sway the Sceptre of these happy and highly favoured kingdoms, and continue to reign, with undiminished glory, over a loyal, faithful, and united people. Signed by our Proses, in our name, and by our appointment, in our general meeting assembled at Bauff, this 10th day of August, 1822 years. GEO. AI3ERCROMBY, PUESES. TO THE KINGS MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY. Most Gracious and Beloved Sovereign, We, your Majesty's very devoted and loyal subjects, the Noblemen, Freeholders, Deputy Lieutenants. Co. miTOwkxierii i of Supply, and Justices ofthe Peace of the County of Kin- j cardine, beg leave to approach your sacred person, and to ex- i press the feelings of joy and gratitude with which our hearts j are penetrated by your Majesty's visit to your ancient kingdom of Scotland. While we, therefore, felicitate ourselves upon this auspicious event, we beg humbly to assure your Majesty, tint so gracious ing to reflect that he has left us deeply impressed with the reception he has received, and of the national cha- racter. May his voyage be pleasant, and without ill ef- fects ; and ma/ God long preserve him to bless a grate- ful and loyal people 1 The Royal Standards are now struck, the scaffoldings have all been removed, and the city has resumed its wonted appearance. It i. s no less gratifying than remark- able, that since his Majesty's arrival we have not had to record a single accident arising from the immense assem- blages of the people that have so frequently taken place. MEMORANDA OF TIIE KING'S VISIT. His Majesty has been pleased to confer the honour of knighthood on Captain Adam Ferguson, Deputy Keeper of the Regalia, and Henry Raeburn, Esq. Portrait Painter, to the latter of whom he signified his pleasure to sit for his portrait habited in the Highland costume, and commanded his attendance in Loudon for that pur- pose. THE KING'S LETTER. The following letter has, by the command of his Ma- jesty, been addressed to the Great Officers of State in Scotland :— Mv LORDS, Edinburgh, August 29, 1822. I have had the honour of receiving the King's commands to signify to your Lordships, his Majesty's unqualified approv- ing by Steven, an able Ayrshire artist, representing " heroic Trim," mounted on his grey mare Meg, and dashing onward amidst thd appalling horrors ofthe mid- night Storm— . '< Whiles b'andin' fast his guide blue bonnet. Whiles crooning o'er some auld Scots sonnet, Whiles glowring rutin' wi* prudent c: ires, Lest bogles patch liiih unawares." Upon the whole, the gift which Mr. Auld has pre- sented to Royalty reflects credit on the artists - of the west ; and we are happy to understand that his MajeStv, out of respect for the genius of Burns, has given or- ders that particular care should be taken of this elegant relique of our national Bard. At the City Banquet, on Saturday se'efinight, wheri the health of Mr. Peel, who . was absent from indisposi- tion, was drank, and was followed by that of Lord Melville; Lord MELVILT. E trusted that they wfitild £? ve him credit wheri lie assured them how deeply sensible he was of the honour they had Conferred upon hi in. The Compliment, on this oct- isio; i was the tho're gratifying, when he reflected on the conduct, of the immense population which' had poured into Edinburgh ori a late occasion, and whose behaviour, arid lie begged to speak of it both as a citizen of E linbirrgh' and as a S otsmau, wa4 ' such as to do them honour and credit, ( loud applause.) The Noble Viscount concluded proposing his Grace the Duke of Hamilton and the Peerage. of Scotland, The Duke of HAMILTON' rose and said, that after the toast which had been proposed, arid the riianner in which it had been introduced to theii", notice; it was impossible for Ivini to remain silent, although it was painful for him to speak, feeling himself inadequate to do justice to tire subject—- tn the ilrst place, he had to return thanks to the company in his otvn name and in that of the P^ ers who were associat- ed with him in the toast. for the honour { bey had done them. This became his duty, although he knew there were others much better able to perform it. If, however, there were ( aS he vi- as aware) many better qualified for this duty, there werd noni! more anxious than he was to express, with warmth and sincerity, the cordial feelings which the occasion called for.— None approached his Sovereign with a warmer expression of reverence and sincerity, and none was more an. vioiis td main- tain his duty to the King, without any subserviency however of political opinion. No one was more reak'y than he was to come forward and pay homage to the honour and dsgrtiry of the Cr'o'vvn ; but at the same time he was not to forget the just and jealous care which he vt- al bound tcJ observe to ward.* the rights and interests of the people under this free coustitu* tion. He felt a pride in showing every respect and honour t* i the person who wears the crown of these realms ; but in doin<| so he must not forget the respect due to himself * he must re- peat, thai he had deities akef to maintain for the people, which were interwoven with the best rights and Securities of the Crown, and tfhicb', in fact, formed the basis of the trUe povvCi' and constitutional glory of the Sovereign.

EDINBURGH, Sept. 3. DEPARTURE OF IIIS MAJESTY. His Majesty having been graciously pleased to com- ply with the Earl of Ilopetoun's invitation to take a parting drjeune at Hopetoun Ilonse before his embarka- tion on Thursday, a large company of distinguished per- sons were in attendance. The day was extremely unfa- vourable, notwithstanding which the balustrades over the colonades and roofs of the wings were crowded with well dressed females, who were admitted bv ticket, and who bore the " pelting of the pitiless storm" without a murmur, farther than expressing their rearet that the inauspicious weather destroyed the eliect of the " glori- ous sight." At twelve o'clock his Majesty passed along Prince's Street in his travelling chaise, escorted by the Greys, under a salute from the artillery on the Castle ramparts. He changed horses at the village of Davidson's Mains, and at Cramond Bridge was received by two troops of the West Lothian Yeomanry, who joined the escort.— His Majesty passed through Dalmeny park, but did not stop at the house as was expected, and was followed by Lord and Ladv Roseberry. Mr. Sheriff Duff attended to Cramond Bridge, to see his Majesty safe out of his- jurisdiction. Discharges of artillery announced his Ma- jesty's arrival in the park, when the Royal Standard was hoisted on the roof of this magnificent mansion. The Royal Archers were formed two deep on each side of the colossal steps leading lo the principal door, from which a scarlet cloth was laid to the place on which iiis Majes- ty alighted. The bands of the 13th and 77th regiments were in attendance, behind which the boys and girls of the parish school were ranged. By this time the crowd 011 the lawn had bectfme very considerable, but were restrained within certain bounds ! by his Lordship's tenantry ( bearing marks of their autho- rity) and the West Lothian Yeomanry. As the King i passed along he was greeted by the hearty cheers of the | peasantry, re- echoed from the roofs of the eolomades | ami wings. The Earl of Hopetoun was in attendance | to receive his Majesty vvhen lie slighted, who walked leisurely up the steps uncovered, surveying the archers with particular attention. At the top ofthe steps lie shook hands with Sir George Mackenzie, Mr. Russell, and Major Prmgle. His Mitjestv was plainly dressed, wearing the Windsor uniform, and looked remarkably well. The hospitality of the Noble Owner of this princely mansion shone cons| « cuously. Exclusive of the colla- I tron of the interior, which consisted of every delicacy, ! tables were spread in the eolonades, cover'ed with a pro- i fusion of substantial viands', of which the Archers partook ; immediately 011 their arrival. After his Majesty enter- ! ed the hoiise, a number' of'gentlemen who had beett in- 1 vited, and the Yeomanry, Sa£ down, and on concluding i their repast drank lus health with hearty cheers. Lastly, ! the Greys, who formed the escort, and the band, sat | down to the good cheer, but were rather suddienfy called respect and attention to his Majesty, and in promoting that perfect order, regularity, and success, with which every cere- mony has been conducted. His Majesty commands me to add, that his residence in Scotland has proved to him a source of unalloyed satisfaction. It has confirmed every favourable impression which he pre- viously entertained of the character and habits of the people ; and it has afforded to him that which must ever constitute his chief gratification, the opportunity of witnessing the happiness of his subjects, and of receiving the most convincing proofs of their faithful attachment and loyalty. He takes leave of Scotland with the most cordial feelings of affection towards his people, and with the deepest anxiety to piomote their welfare. I have the honour to be, with great truth and regard, My Loans, Your Lordships' most obedient, And faithful servant, ( Signed) ROBERT IMS EL. The Officers- of State, 4c.

On Tuesday, Mr. Auk), of Ayr, presented to the King, through { lie medium ofthe Right Don. the Lord Justice Clerk, a splendid library chair, formed out of the remains- of the oaken rafters of Kirk Allowav, which the his Majesty was pleased to receive most graciously The general design- of this valuable chair is after manner of the enriched Gothic. On the front part of the back are formed, four compartments, terminating in pointed arches, and surrounded with' appropriate carv- ings, executed in a style of uncommon boldness and beauty.

MAILS.— A very judicious alteration is aboiit to talca place in the dispatch'of the evening mail from Edin- burgh to Glasgow. At present it ie dispatched at !> p. M. a little before, or just about the time the London mail reaches Edinburgh. In future it will be dispatched from Edinburgh at half- past 10 p. M. by which means all the letters for Glasgow, from the towns south of Edinburgh on the east road, will be delivered in Glas- gow in the morning, instead of the afternoon as at pre- sent. Tuesday, Robert Russel of Newcastle undertook- thei arduous task of walknig 102 miles in twenty- four Succes- sive hours, trusting for reward to the liberality of the' Public.

TT litis rot often happened, that we have tlioncrlit it flf anv importance to notice Speeches maue at Pitt Din- n'eri, in praise of'the svstem df Brtlierv and Corruption, and against Reform of aVmses : hot the dinnet given to Mr. CANKIHG, 1 » V certain of his constituents at Liver- pool, on the 30th ult. deserves particular attention, and to give putlicitv to the sentiments of Mr. CASNIN'O cannot fail to produce good effects. Our readers knotv, that this Statesman is about, to proceed to India as Go- vernor General, and his constituents, grateful for his va- luable public services, thought it a proper murk of respect to give him a farewell dinner. The usual loval toasts having been given, the Chairman said, he anticipated tiie acclamation and enthusiasm with which tbe toast he was about to give would be received ; and with some ob- servations upriri the great importance ol'thfi Government of India— tW House of Commons losing its most eloquent orator aud brightest ornament— and his hopes that cir- cumstances might vet arise to prevent that loss— lie give Our highly distinguished Representative the Right Hon. GltoitGE CANNING, with our cordial thanks to him for his eminent services : our deep regret for his se- paration from us, with our sincere and heart felt wishes for his health and happiness : nine times nine."— It is impossible to describe the enthusiastic feeling with which this toast was drank. The cheering lasted for several minutes ; and when, on partial silence being obtained, Mr. CANNING attempted to rise, thev again burst forth, and were continued for a considerable time. Mr. CAN- NING rose evidently much affected, & c.~& c. He ob served, " that there is a road to popularity by holding out to the country a remedy for every evil, whether perma- nent or temporary, by attributing the works of Providence to the misconduct of Government, ahd by pointing out every visitation, ho'uever unforeseen, to their misgooernment and misrule." Here the Right Hon. Gentleman was interrupted bv loud and enthusiastic applause, his audi- ence being 110 doubt convinced that, in this best of all possible worlds, every misfortune that can bef'd a nation is ordained bv Providence— that it was the divine will that the national wealth should be squandered in unjust . wars, and the purchase of political support to Adminis- tration; and that the death of NAPOLEON at St. Helena, and MARSHAL NEY at the garden wall in Paris, were merolv as a Coroner's Jury would say, " Visitations of God." Declaring himself the friend of Catholic Eman- cipation, and that lie had acted conscientiously iu the case of the Queen, he entered at great length into the merits of the question concerning a Reform of the Commons House; and the following Extract we give from the fullest report we have seen, that of the Morning Chronicle of the 21 instant. Gentlemen, T now turn to tin? second question, that of Parliamentary Reform, wjth which, perhaps more than the oilier my name bus been connected ; connected too in a way * hicli has duiwn upon me much popular observation, and often lunch popular obloquy. They much mistake me who suppose that I impute to the supporters of Reform a perfect knowledge if what the principles which they advocate w ould lead to. No ! Gentlemen, it is with their doctrines I quarrel, and I now v MI. as I have ever done, to discuss those doctrines argument- at'vely, and not vituperatively. I wish those persons who cry out for Ref. inn. to stale to me, to state to themselves distinctly the objects they have in view, and their means of attaining those objects. Do they ground their necessity for Reform upon the fact of our. having been engaged in expensive warn, our having been engaged in long and protracted struggles on the Continent? Do they advocate it 011 the ground of heavy taxation and severe legislative enactments ? Supposing tliese f'. eit grcunds for reform, and granting f. ir argument sake that r. ev are true, then. I ask, is it by the House of Commons slope that these acts have been sanctioned ? Do they charge ilietrt as- tbe acts of a single body ? Has no sanction or eonfir maiion been given by another Assembly to those enactments ? If there fee a 110' her Assembly co- operating with the House of Common,, then. I say, a Reform of the House of Commons is nugatory, without a co- ordinate Reform of that other body also [ cheers] ? J put this plain question, and 1 have never yet met the man who would answer it satisfactorily- If you reform the House of Commons, prav v hat are your intentions with respect to tiie House of I. ords [ applause | ? If you wish a Re- form on the ground of the House of Commons having sanc- tioned the war with Ameriia ; if you wish for a Reform 011 the ground of the House ot^ Commons having sanctioned the war with France, sinking for a moment the fact that war with Ame- rica was the war of the people, sinking the fact that the war with France, was the war of the uatim. If you wish for Re- form. because at a later period the House of Commons- found it necessary to pass severe enactments for the repression of dan- gerous disturbances, then I ask, are the House of I. ords, , v.! io were parties to these transactions, logo free? If not, then I ask what is the remedy you propose? And, if you propose no remedy for the House of I. ords, where is the bene- fit of reforming the House of Commons ? Do you mean to prevail by reason or by compulsion ? If by reason, then reason is a- good out of doors as in. Is it by compulsion? Aye, that is what t„ ti mean and that you do not dare to say [ loud cheers]. Why, then, my quarrel with Reformers is not as to the mode or the degree; I take ail objection, in Limine, that they ask that instead of a tripartite Government, there should be erected a simple instrument which would do its own work by sweeping off every obstacle and impediment which stood in its - way. 7' his is my objection to the proposed Reform. I did not object to it because Old Sarum returns one or two, or twenty Mi rubers to Parliament. I don't object to it because it would prevent this or that Peer front. exercising his influence ill relur. Members for Iloroughs. For God's sake, if you can Tlia new arrangements, necessary to supply the place of Lord LONDONDERRY, are not yet completed, and the Duke of WEi, M NOTON has not proceeded to the Congress, as was confidently reported iu the London papers. Indeed, it has been reported, that the Emperor ALEXANDER has been heard £ o_ say, that'" he tee* no occasion for a Congress." Were the fourteen sail of the line quite equipped in the , Black Sea, we can easily, be- lieve, that his Imperial Majesty could find his way with- out the advice of the IIolv Alliance ; and; in the pre- sent disabled state of the Turkish navy, his plan of naval.; operations would be simple enough. One thing appears j certain, that the Greeks have gained an important - vie- J torv, 011 ground long since consecrated to fame by ! EEONIDAS and his devoted followers, who Voluntarily | sacrificed themselves for their country— the STRAITS of TuennlopYLas. It is also confidently reported, that . an embargo has been laid upon the shipping in . ill the Turkish ports, so . that we may fKpecj to hear soon of what is called, in ministerial phrase, a little working of events in the East. We present our readers with as correct a Report of the proceedings at the Dinner given here to Mr. I10. ME 011 Thursday, as the shortness of the time could enable us to obtain. But it would be impossible in any report to convey even a- faint'- idea of the great interest this long wished- for Meeting so justly excited. Our limits will not permit 11s to make auv remarks on Mr. HOME S admirable Speech on the subject of Reform.

DINNER TO Ma. HU. VIE IN ABERDEEN. Oil Thursday, a " party of more than 100 of the Townsmen and County Gentlemen ent • . tamed Mr. HUME at Dinner, in Anderson's, New Inn. ALEX. RAN MERMAN. ESQ. in the CHAIR. The Dinner was sumptuous, and that and the other arrange- ments did great credit to Mr. Anderson, and gave general sa- tisfaction. The Toasts and Remarks were taken up with great spirit, and the utmost glee prevailed the whole evening. ! The following, among many oilier Tea, is, weie given: '• The King." ' The Constitution." " The Royal Family— may they never forget the principles which placed them on the Throne " The Chairman, in giving Mr. HUME, slid, ( hat be saw, I with great, satisfaction, the. company then assembled, and all ranks combining to pay respect ro a Gentleman, who had dis- tinguished himself so much, and whose merits were as well khown as his name. If there be any difference in political opinion among us. yet we join unanimously in our admiration of the man, who is the prime supporter of the rights of the subject, and the watchful guardian of the public expenditure. Rut. besides JIC. Hume's well known merits, he could say. that every individual who had his cause in the hands of Sir. HUME, might be sure of kindness, dispatch and satisfaction. He would make no unnecessary " compliments, and therefore he gave " Mr. HUME," ( three times three)— drank with rapturous applause. Tune " Theres nac luck aboul THE HOUSE whan our Gudomati's ana." When the plaudits ceased. Mr. IIUME said, ( often inter- rupted by applause) nearly as follows : He was at a loss for language to express his feelings at that moment. The way in which tbe Chairman had brought his name to the notice of the meeting, and the kind manner in which they had been pleased to receive the toast, had made a deep impression on his mind, that could never be effaced. If he failed to eipiess, in adequate terms, w hat he felt on the oc- casion, it would arise fu> m an over anxiety to do justice to his feelings. The credit they had been plea- ed to give him for his public conduct, was very much abovj his desert, and it was difficult for him to express his thanks to them as he wished. On no occasion had he had the honour to address a numerous meeting, better able to judge of tbe conduct of public men than the present; and after this mark of attention iu meeting him here, he would endeavour to explain to them very shortly the course he had pursued, without attending to his own humble exertions, more than, under all the circumstances, he found himself obliged to do. It was peculiar to this country, to witness such meetings as the present, w here so many re- speclable and independent Gentlemen met, to welcome one. a stranger to them personally, and only known by his public conduct. He w as fully sensible of the honour conferred upon him by such meetings, and the assistance lie derived from them in his public capacity. It was one of the many important ad- vantages which Englishmen enjoyed, under tbe British Con- stitution, to he thus enabled at public meetings to mark their opinion of the conduct of public men. Whilst he was well aware of. and highly valued, the sdv„ n'a!_' es w hich tbe glorious Revolution of 1688 had secured to this country, he could not shut his eves to the many abuses also, which in lapse of time had crept into that Constitution. It was the duty, there- fore, in a peculiar manner, of every person placed in the House of Commons, to use his iiest onertions to remedy the existing abuses, to improve, protect, and secure those advan- tages which we ought to enjoy. If he had read that Constitu- tion aright tbe liberty of the people, the independence of Par- liament, and the dignity of- the Crown, were equally to be guarded and valued; and it behoved every member of tbe community equally to protect them all,—( Hear.) In the mutable siate'of human institutions, it was a proof of wisdom to suit the establishments in the country, to the intel- ligence audi circumstances of the times, thus to obtain the greatest portion of happiness to those who lived under them. ; That knowledge of every kind, and political knowledge in particular, had been diffused most widely in this country w ith- in the last .30 years, might lie learned by the immense increas- provecorruption iu any Borough, disfranchise it as you have ; ed circulation of the daily and p< riodical. literary and politi- chsfraochised Grampound. Rut, if hy the Representatives of the People you mean the organ of the nation ( and much con- fusion has arisen from misunderstanding and confounding terms), then I ask, - when the nation has its organ, what room is there for any thing more ? Our limits do not admit of extended remarks upon the doctrines delivered by Mr. CANNING upon the subject of Reform. They amount to this, that a fairly returned and iionest House of Commons could be of no service, un- less the other brandies of the Legislature were also re- formed. That affairs are conducted much more smoothly, the Commons being subservient as at present to Admini- stration, than would be the case were they really indepen- dent, making the welfare of their constituents the rule of their conduct. It seems then, that checks and ba- lances " HI the British Constitution, so long talked of, are altogether unnecessary; that the efficient control of the Commons over the public expenditure could have no ef- fect upon the proceedings of the Peers, and would only prove an obstruction to public business. Low indeed is the state of political degradation to cat publications, which had taken place j and it was the duty of our rulers to have had this circumstance always before thein. Under a w ise and just Government, it was to be ex- pected, that with the increasing means of wealth, know ledge, and power which this country possessed, the happiness and prosperity of all classes of the people would have increased. But was this the case? Did not complaints of great distress and even want, reach us from most of the branches of the community, and this too while' Providence poured upon us abundance of every produce, almost to overflowing'? Such a state of things could only, lie. thought, arise from misgovern- ment, and it was incumbent on every map, placed in the situa- tion he w- as in, to ascertain the cause, and to attempt relief and reform.—( IIeitr, hear.)— He was well aware that attempts were made, by a hireling press, to put down every man who endeavoured to correct slurres, ami an alarm was sounded against him, that he intended to overturn aud destroy, instead of amending and establishing the constitution. Such had been the system long pursued by the adherents to Mr. Pitt's system. It jiad been one of their most powerful engines, for the last 30 years, and he regretted to think it had been but too successful, in keeping up and increasing those abuses which had gone 011, until they threatened at. last, to sweep all that was valuable into inextricable ruin. It was not an easy How great the influence of Ministers is in the great seaport, Liverpool, Is well known— for thev could pro- cure the return of Mr. CANNING, when opposed by fuchmen as Mr ROSCOE and Mr. BROUGHAM: but al- though officers of the revenue may feel obliged to vote as thev ure desired, they are certainly under no obliga- tion to endure such assertions sis those of Mr, CANNING, and far less to applaud them as just. Can there be a greater insult offered to the British people, suflering as thev are from the gross misconduct, of iheir Rulers, than to tell them jo bninrv of introducing a system that would act hv pot « r and not bv reasvn, nicauinjja fairly chosen independent House of Commons ? According to this doctrine, the people can never be in the right, but ready to commit acts of. violence ; antj Ministers, supported liv venal majorities, can never be in the wrong. Un- questionably the House of Commons ought to be, and if' fairly chosen would be, the first power in the state, possessiug a most efficient control over the measures of the executive— but it does not follow, that an iudepen- j'tnt Commons House would necessarily prove destruc- tive of the other branches of the Legislature, and become mischievous as soon as restored to the exercise oi'its proper functions. ficulties be had proceeded, " and it was highly satisfactory to him to know, by the approbation of many of bis countrymen, as well as of the present company, that bis humble exertions had in some degree succeeded. It was right to state, that he had, on entering the House of Commons* joined the opposi- tion undoubtedly, and he thought there was not one dish}' terestcd person here, or elsewhere, who, after reviewing the ruinous system of the Ministers of the Crown for so tfi'any years past, would not have made the same election, if he had sclely contemplated the relief of the people, and the protection of their rights. He hoped, however, that attention to his past conduct would show, that he had only attached himself to the opposition, ( known by the name of Whigs) when their mea- sure were such, as h< 3 could conscientiously support. Bv the Whigs, he meant those who. whilst they upheld the dignity of the Sovereign as Chief Magistrate, were jealous of the en- croachment of power upon the rights and privileges of the people. He could assure tiie meeting, that he was not con- scious of ever having given a vote in the House of Comrrions that tended to limit the privileges, or interfere with the just rights of tbe people, but that his invariable object bad been, to limit the undu, e power and influence of the Crown, and to in- crease titeju& t influence of » he people. And such he wibmit- ted, ought to be the conduct of all those who considered tiie object and end of good government. as contemplated and so cured under the Constitution of 1088, to be tbe welfare of the community at large, awl nettle a^ gW^^ eipen. tof ihtjevh— IIv did x> ot wow inquire, whether the opposition had always acted on those principles, to the extent they oupcM fn hate done j hut in deciding between the professed friends of liberal principles and the supporters of the Pitt or intolerant Tory system, there could not be for one moment, he thought, a doubt. AS the fruits ofthe Pitt system, unfortunately now. so evident to us all, he had only to enumerate those evils which now weigh down all classes of the community— a system of profusion and extravagance— an undue inference maintained by the public money, which was at one and the same time, the cause and effect of large and unnecessary establishments.— Our military establishments for instance, in a country where the Government by the Constitution is purely civil, were large ami unnecessary to extravagance— the expence of the army afane- heUag Hmillions, which in 17LK2 was little more than- 2 millions— both periods years of pence, and no circumstances to warrant, such an excess. The public debt had' been increased from l240 millions, at a- charge for interest of 0 millions— to 835 - millions at an annual charge of 31 millions. ' I'hose per- sons interested in keeping up the expenditure of the country, had an undue influence in the House of Commons, and . thus these evils wr* e- produced, and those changes and reductions prevented, which the situation of the country required* They had declared themselves ready to forfeit life and fortune to support the King and Constitution, and well they might, en- joying as they did, so largely of the taxes ofthe people-, the system worked well with those: but he must always consider those as interested persons, and their opinions of little value— they were in the situation of men to be removed from the Jury box on a challenge of being personally interested in the issue of the cause. But wherie were the suffering community ? Did the system woik well for the people ? Why were not their c. dls attended ro? Because the party in power for 30 years, had had, and still have possession of that influence, which prevents redress in the House-. of Commons, where . alone it can begin with any prospect of success. With these opinions of the evils ofthe Pitt system and of their cause, he was confi- dent that evrry man who Ik- arc! him would, if in his power, use his best exer. iions to effect a reform, and would iu fact, he hoped, approve ofthe measures he bail adopted, to obtain that desirable object; It was, by a Reform in Parliament alctie, that our present difficulties could he overcome : not suddenly, but by degrees ; and lie had, therefore, voted for every motion for reform that had been proposed in Parliament, whether great or limited.— In the difference of opinion which tested on the subject of lit form, it behov( y! all Reformers to act in unison, aud to agree on some one 6r more points on which unanimity might prevail; | to obtain these, if possible, as steps towards the more general .1 and extended Reform, which so many considered necessary for \ the security of the country. It was too common for the su » - • poriers of corruption, and those who fattened by the public I syoiU-, to hold up to ridicule the friends of Reform, and turn j to derision the anticipated consequences from it. " He shouldever j contend that, although Parliamentary Reform could not imme- jj diately rai-. e the price of corn, or remove famine, that it would, by f • giving the people a proper check over the expenditure of the \ public money, prevent so large a proportion of the earnings of £ industry as is - now wasted, from being taken from them, aud'la- | vished on the idle and the useless. Reform would give the ; people the election of men who make laws f r the protection- J of their lives, property, and all that i* dear in life. Reform f would put an end to sinecuie offices, and unnecessary esta- | b'lishments, atvd leave in the pockets of the people, the means | of purchasing more corn, and necessaries, and of providing \ against such » famine as we had witnessed in Ireland— a fa- \ mine from the want of money to purchase, in the midst of f abundance of every kind. Whilst he so strongly advocated f Economy and Retrenchment of useless expenditure, he never had, nor did he believe that any person present would refuse, the necessary means to pay, in the most liberal manner, every useful servant of the public. These were the distinctions lie wished to draw ; the results he expected from Parliamentary and Burgh Reform; and he was confident,, his . conclusions would bear the test of sober inquiry, better than the witty observations of the op posers of Reform. In the He lief that the influence arising i'rotn the large and unnecessary expenditure, was a great bar. to a reform of abuses, he ( Mr, H.) had taken the course he did, of exposing to public view the profligacy of that expenditure ; the lavish waste of the public jnoney ; and, in spite of every attempt to crush his progress, and deny the correctness of his statements he had succeeded in awakening the public to discern one great, cause of their distress. To the utmost extent indeed, he might claim the merit of patient and laborious inquiry and perseverance : but he might have gone on long without success, if the difficulties of the landed interest had not seconded his exertions. That numerous and powerful class of men, who had for so many, years, whilst their pockets were full, haH'ood on tbe extravagant expenditure of the Put system, which had spent iu 24 years, upwards of ] 500 millions sterling, regardless of the warnings received, now were loud in Jieir clamours, am] pretended to be ignorant of the causes of their distress. They do not see, or will not understand,, that by their blind support of the minister of the day, in all his mea- sures, ... the prevent- enormous debt was contracted— that the in- terest of that debt was year after year paid by loans'; and the country never- felt the weight of the interest until the loans ceased in 1817. I-' rom that date their distresses commenced, and they must bear with them, as of their own bringing on, unless they come forward and compel a reduction of public ex- penditure and taxation, to the lowest possible scale, as the only means of affording relief. It will be recollected by many he now addressed, that in the session of 1821, ail his motions for the reduction of the military establishingnts ; of the high sala- ries ; ofthe expence of collecting the revenue, & c. were re- jected by the House of Commons, in confidence, and on the de- claration ofthe Minister, that every establishment was at its lowest scale, and that every attention possible had been paid to the expenditure of the country. As an example of the conduct ofthe House ot Commons,- only Members voted for his mo- tion, to reduce 10 000 men from an army of 81,000— and it was only after continued exposures of the extravagant expendi- ture, that the House, before prorogation, addressed the King to promote economy and retrenchment in every department.— It was undoubtedly, most gratifying to him to find the Minis- ters, who had opposed every the smallest reduction when pro- posed hy him ( Mr. H.) making, during the recess, a reduction of 12.000 men ; and. ordering an inquiry into the expenditure of every department of the Government. With such success, certainly more than at first had been anticipated, he ( Mr- II ) had renewed his labours in the last session, and had found much more attention f » om the Ministers to his various recom- mendations. Reductions. of taxes and expenditure had indeed been made, and others were in progress; but they were noiby any means commensurate to the wants of the country. It was, he believed, by the manifestation of public opinion, shewed so decidedly in favour of his proceedings, by the cities of London, Hereford, Gloucester, and other pi ices, that his means of utility had been increased. It was not, therefore, on his own account, that the proceedings of meetings like the present were important and valuable, but that they gave a sup port and consequence to the efforts of public men. As an iso- lated individual, with no support from a family or party, be i could never have obtained one- tenth of what had been effect- ! ed, without the public support. He highly valued the honest | approbation ofthe meeting on these grounds, and was proud j of their support on the public account ; and be trusted his | future conduct would merit a continuance of their good opinion. | The influence of public opinion-, in the present state of intelli- | gence in thecounfry, when called out, was great— it had been | manifested powerfully in the case of the late unfortunate and | injured Queen— it had been shewn in the course of the pro- \ ceedings of last session ; and with the prospect of aggravated | distress to the landed interest, and little relief to any other, he \ looked forward, withcontidence, to the powerful influence of J public opinion - on the Goveraoient, if propariy directed, fie j hoped the Whigs would now corm? forward and disclose what ' they would doTor the people if they were in power— they ought | to pledge themselves to what extent they would go iu promot- l ing Reform in Parliament, and in reducing the expenses of the I country. If they would do so, they would be backet! by pub- | lie opinion, and they might then do all the good anticipated by \ their most sanguine admirers. Without such a dccided line of conduct, he was confident they would not receive that support which would aid their • wishes, if they were directed to getting into power. He had omitted to state, that any exertionson hw part would have availed but little, if they had not been seconded so ablv and so zealously hy those Hon. Members, whose names they were familiar with, who, bad on ail occasions stood forward in the public b^ liajf: and whilst he entreated the meeting, to give those members the credit they so well deserved, he hoped the public would come forward and afford that VlFeetual suppprt, which must compel the Ministers to attend to the wants and wishes of the public, and to promote economy and retrench ment in every dep rtment, as the best means of bunging about a real Reform in Parliament.—( Hear.) He begged pardon for having so long detained them, and for having so inadequately explained tbe motivesof his conduct ; but would conclude, with again thanking the meeting, for the honor done him ou this day ; and assuring them, that his humble exertion* should be coiuinued in the course lie had hitherto, to their satisfaction, pursued.—( Loud aud continued plaudits.)

In the absence of his Noble Friend, Mr. H. would offer the Meeting thanks in his name, for the manner they had re- ceived the toast. The Noble Lord would have derived much pleasure to have been present on this occasion, but previous engagements prevented him.- At the request of his Noble Friend, he would state the course which the inquiry before tbe House of Commons into the petitions from the Royal Rurghs, had taken ; and how ever much the friends of Reform were disappointed by the result, they had obtained some decided advantage. It would be recollected by many gentlemen pre- sent that, when the petitions detailing the abuses that had ta- ken place in the Burghs, from the existing system of self elec- tion of the Councils, were presented, the allegations were de- nied by the lion. Member for Edinburgh and others, w ho had ail along opposed themselves to any reform. It was well known that, in the first Committee, the case of this Burgh was fully gone into, and the proceedings were before them to prove, that every alledged abuse had been fully substantiated. In that and the other two Committees, every allegation of abu^ e was made good,, even by the majority of tbe last Com- mittee, who were decidedly hostile to Reform. A ll were con- firmed and stood on record, by separate Resolutions of the Committee. The differences'took place a£ to the mode of re- medying these long continued and ruinous abuses. Lord A. Hamilton, S'r II, Ferguson, himself and others, contended, that without some modification of self- election, the evils could not be ; emedied. Rut all our exertions could not obtain the smallest, change in that system, He would have been satisfied with a fourth, or an eighth, or even one- tenth ofthe Council in a year, but even that moderate reform was refused, He thought it an indelible disgrace to the Ministry, to see such glaring abuses proved to exist generally in Scotland, and to refuse so entirely the petitions of the people. No hopes from such men could be expected, although he was sanguine that, under others, the crying abuses woyld be redressed. L was childish to think that the abortion of a Bill, ca led a Bill to account for the common good of Burghs, loaded as it was with useless detail, could meet the complaints of the Bur- gessess against, self- election. lie thought thai men were not to be trusted with power, unchecked and uncontrolled, as self- election gave them. And were the Members of Council of Aberdeen saints, or angels, which they were not, he could not. trust them, or expect justice under the narrow system of self- election.—( hear, hear.)— It was a lamentable state to see the affairs of the . Burghs in general in such hands, and ( with some honourable exceptions,) to ^ ducted so much against the in- terests and feelings of the community in which they live. The Case of Inverness was proof, how regardless the Ministers were of the requests of the people and of their interests. The self- interested system, of maintaining the few at the expense of the many, was clearly manifested by this last and most disgraceful act. Although defeated in the Committee, he had endeavour- ed to obtain the insertion of clauses'to enforce resHenee ofthe Council, and to prevent Tax- gatherers, Stamp Masters, and Collectors, from holdipg the offices of Councillor or Magistrate. It was a principle recognized and acted on by several acts of Parliament against publfc servants of Government in England, and it was fair to have expected the same in Scotland. He could assure the Meeting, that his Noble Friend would per- severe in his efforts to obtain justice for the Burgesses of Scot- land ; and he should feel proud to co « operate as he had hither- to done with his Lordship, to obtain that desirable object. lie entreated the Burgesses of Aberdeen and of Scotland to persevere in their demands, aud to afford every assistance in their power to. those advocating their cause in Parliament, uu- til success should crown their exertions.

He considered public men, like h rinse if, a.> publie property, and Mheir acts to be canvassed and examined as much as any person thought proper : and he would promote public discussion on all occasions as much as possible. He was con- fident, that no man had need to attend to the misrepresenta- tion and falsehoods w hich were so freely issued from ' he hired and debased press, against every man who challenged the con- duct of Ministers, or pointed out the abuses of the Government. He had had his share of such abuse, but it gave him very little . trouble— Magna est Veritas et. prcvalehit.
