And operate next on the beard of the Cat /— The place of a mirror adapted to suit, There stood in the room then a high- polish'd Bool, In which WARREN'S Jet of pre- eminent hue Displ iy'd tlie fine forms of reflection to view.— Now seizing poor Puns, to the bright BOOT he bore her The Monkey, her shadow then gleaming before her, And answer'd her struggles with chatter and blows, Her phiz while he soap'd from her ears to her nose ; The Cut, thus essaying in vain at resistance . And mewing, in pitiful plaint, for assistance, . With wonder the same operation now saw l'eiformed in, or shewn by the Jut of eclat /—• In front of the BOOT then, as if to explain it The method of shaving, how best to attain it, The act interspersing with grin and grimace, The Ape clear'd the Cat of'each hair on her face ! And strange though it seems, yet the frolicsome elf Was much more successful with Pvss than himself, The SHAVER adroitly concluding his scraping— The SHAV'D wilh the loss of her whiskers escaping I The Monkey in Triumph the Parlour now sought, And Cat and bright BOOT to a company brought, Who saw what this barber had then been about, And hail'< 2this essay with a rapturous shout Of mirthful surprize : — the strange incident backing I'he merits of WARREN'S Unparalleled Blacking.

THE A P O S T L E S' CREED, By HERMAN WITSIUS, D. D. Professor of Divinity in the Universities of Franeker, Utrecht, and Leyden. Translated from the Latin, and followed with Notes, Critical and Explanatory, By DONALD ERASER, Minister of the Gospel Ken noway. " We have perused part of Mr. Fraser's Translation of Wit- sius's excellent and instructive Work on the Creed, aud com- pared it in various places with the Oiiginal; and we do not hesitate to pronounce it a good Translation. It is faithful, not more flee than the genius of the two languages requires, and conveys in good English not only the sense of the Author, but a considerable portion of his spirit and manner. " Witsius is known to the mere English reader, only hy a very indifferent translation of his Economy of the Covenants, and by his Irenical Animadversions, translated a few years ago by the late Mr. Bell of Glasgow. His Treatise on the Apostles' Creed is. not inferior to either of,, these ; and we feel much satisfaction iu the prospect that a work which has so long benefited the student and divine, and which is so well calculated to give instruction and delight to every class of Christians, is now about to be given to our countrymen in their own tongue. " JAMES PEDDIE, D. D. " JOHN COLQUHOUN. D. D. " THOMAS M'CRIE, D. D, " DAVID DICKSON. " Edinburgh, January 1st, 1822." " We have perused, with much pleasnre, a part of Mr. Fraser's Translation of Witsius on the Creed, and consider it as a faithful expression of the sense ofthe Original. We commend the work to the public as a scriptural, luminous, and pious exposition of that short summary ofthe Christian Faith. " JOHN DICK, D. D. " JOHN MITCHELL, D. D, " Glasgow, Nov. 15, 1821." " In Mr. Fraser ( part of whose Manuscript we have had the satisfaction of perusing) Witsius has met with a Translator cap- able, in no ordinary degree, of transfusing not merely the meaning, but the spirit of his original, into his version.— Though not a slavish, he is a faithful interpreter ; and while the reader is furnished with the sentiments of Witsins. he is not frequently reminded by the foreign turn of expression that he is not reading an original work. " We have no hesitation in saying, that the original work of Witsius is equally worthy of the public patronage as any of that author's, t realises which have been yet been translated ; and that the version Is superior in merit to that of either of his works which have appeared in an English dress. " JOHN BROWN, Whitburn. JOHN BROWN, Biggar. " Whitburn, Nov. 12, 1821. BROWN'S HISTORY OF MISSIONS : A new, improved, and enlarged Edition. Parts 1st and 2d, embellished and illustrated with a beau- tiful portrait of the late Rev. Christian Frederick Swartz, and a Map of North America, exhibiting all the Missionary stations on that vast Continent; to be completed in 12 parts, price 2s. each. In the course of the Work will be given Maps of all the various Missionary stations, whether in Asia, Africa, or Ame- rica. The propagation of the Gospel is certainly the most de- lightful subject that can occupy the attention of man. Upon it are centured the light of prophecy and the aspirations of all the lovers of truth and holiness, and to its more full accomplish- ment all the movements of Divine Providenre are most infal- libly tending. Much valuable information on this delightful subject is to be found scattered through the various periodical publications of tb, e day, but, previous to this of Mr. Brown's, since that of the venerable, Mr. Robert Millar of Paisley, nearly a century ago, no regular narrative on this heart glad- dening subject has been attempted, webelive in this country.— The Utility of such a work is indisputable; and the rapid sale of the first edition of this, with the high eulogiuma bestowed i upon it, are decisive proofs of its superior merit. *,* The first edition of this work has been re printed in America, where it has met with the highest approbation.— For more particular criticisms, see Christian Instructor for 1813; Christian Herald for 1815 ; Eclectic Review for 1S15, & c. & c.

Head Establishment, So 15, Prince's Street, Edinburgh. JOHN MUIR. MANAGER, IT is well known to many individuals, and particularly to the Members of the Profession of the Law, that great difficulties are frequently experienced in procuring and in- vesting MONEY, in the purchase and salts of Annuities, Feu- duties, Contingent and Reversionary rights ; and, in short, that before any money transaction can be properly ar- ranged, much unnecessary, and often fruitless enquiry and in- vestigation is frequently made, and a great ex pence of adver- tising, & c. is incurred. It is also well known that these diffi- culties most frequently arise, not from the scarcity of Money or the want of those who are willing to take it on proper securi- ty, but that it almost entirely originates in the want of some concentrated medium, or channel through which the necessities of the borrower may be made known to those who have money to lend, but with less publicity and at less espence than the ordinary recourse of an advertising newspaper affords. To remove these difficulties, an Establishment has been opened, where an exact and regular Register is kept of all money trans- actions, under the various modifications in which they occur. The Register at present contains numerous insertions of money to be lent and wanted to borrow, on heritable and per- sonal security, at different rates of interest, and in every va- riety of amount, to the extent of about three hundred thousand pounds; various notices of Banks, Water, Gas, Insurance, and Shipping Company Stock ; and, likewise. Annuities, Feu- duties, Ground Rents, and Reversionary Rights for sale; and various sums from .£ 1000 to ^ 20,000, wanted on Redeem- able Annuity, in several instances affording a clear return ( after Insurance) of 6. and 7 per cent. This institution ( the first and only public one of the kind in Scotland) is, from its nature aud simplicity, calculated to be of much advantage to the public in general, and in particular to the members of the law profession, and it has accordingly met with the most encouraging support. It is a fundamental regulation in the Establishment that the province of the mem- bers of the profession is in no respect to be interfered with. To make the Register more extensively useful, Agents are appointed at the principal towns in Scotland, to whom du- plicates of the entries in the Register are sent periodically, and from whom duplicates of the entries in the subsidiary Regis- ters kept at the respective agencies, are regtflarfy received.

BY BARRY fi. O MEARA, ESQ. LATE SURGEON THE EMPEROR NAPOLEON. The following are descriptions of some of Bonaparte's Generals and Ministers : — " ' Moreau,' said he ' was an excellent genera] of di- vision, but not fit fo command a large army. With a hundred thousand men, Moreatr would divide his aftny in different positions, covering roads, and woald not do more than if he had only thirty thousand. He did not know how to profit either by the number of His troops, or by their positions. Very calm and eool in the field, he was more collected and better able to command in the heat of an action, than to make dispositions prior to it. He was a be liked his character,"— Of Lord CofnwaHii' his sentiments' are quite enthusiastic— of Sir John Moore he' said, that he was " a brave soldier, an excellent officer, and a man of iaient, and that the few mistakes he matle We re probably1 inseparable from the difficulties by which he was surrotm-> ded."— Mr Fox, he said, was so great and so goed 3 man, that every member of his family seemed to have' taken a tinge from his virtues.— Speaking of Admiral Sir Pu'teney Malcolm, he said—" his eotniteiiS iee feespfaltS his heart, and I am sure he is a good man ; I never veS beheld a man of whonie I so Immediately formed a good opinion as of that fine soldier- like man— there is lite face nf an Englishman— a countenance, pleasing, open, in- telligent, frahk, sincere."— Of Sir GeoTge Coekbnrn also* who appears to have done his dutv strictly, but like a gentleman, he spoke in terms of Conmieiidstifiti.— On flier subjects both of his elevation and his fall, lie is extremely minute and interesting Our readers mav recollect two* report.' which inthis cotfntry certainty gained considerable currency one, that Napoleon owed much of his rise to> - Barras, and the other, that he at one time in his early life offered his services to England. Both of these h; declares to be " romans," a- nd- says, he did not know Barras till long after the siege of Toulon, where he was chiefly indebted to Gafspariu, the Deputy for Orange, who prelected him against the ignoranfacci, sent dow n bv the Convention ; ue goes On to say, that PaoS ahvavs antici- pated his elevation, and when he was abov used frequent* Iv to pat;- him on the bead, and say, Vrtu artr cr,\ e of Plw torch's men. On the subject of his fall, in answer to at question from Mr. O'Meara, whether he did not consider Baron Stein as mainly instrumental to it? He said im- mediately—" No— none but myself ever did ar. y harm ? I Was, I may saf\ y, the only enemy tomvseff; m » own projects— that expedition to Moscow, and the ac* cidents which happened there, were the causes of my fall* I mav, however, say that those who tirade no opposition to me, who readily agreed with me, entered- into all my views, anil submitted with facility, were my greatest ene* r ,. .,.. . , , ., ,, mies; because, bv the facility of conquest they afforded, often seen smoking tus puie in battle.

His having joined Pichegrn andGeorgesin the conspiracy, and subsequently having closed his life fighting against his country, will ever disgrace his memory. A3 a general, Moreau was infinitely inferior to Dtsais, or to Kleher, or even to Soult. Of aR the generals I ever had under me, Desais and Kteber possessed- the greatest talents, especially Dcsaix, as Kit- be? only loved glory, inasmuch as it was the me& ns of procuring, him riches and pk- astires, whereas Dcsaix loved glory for itself and despised every thing eisc,- Desaix was whrflv wrapt up in war and glory. To him riches and pleasures were valueless, nor did he give them at moment's thought. He was a little black looking man, about an inch shorter than I am, always badly dressed, So netunes'even ragged, and despising comfort or conve- nience. When in Egy pt, I made him a present of a com- plete field cfjnipnge several times, bat he always- lost if.- Wrapt up in a cloak, Detail threw himself under a gun, and slept as contentedly as if he were in a pakce. For him luxury had no charms. Upright ana honest in all his proceedings-, he was called bv the Arabs the fu-' i Saltern. He was intended by nature for a great General. Richer andDesvii- X wore a loss- irreparable to France. Had Kle- ber lived, your army iu Egypt" vvotild have perbhod. Had pokoti seems'to have' solaced himself much with the ideu that Matic' Louise was still strongly attached to him, and he was Row recurring to the' mention of King of I featured, said Mr/ O'Meara, UpoiT another occir* sion, to express my surprise to Napoleon, that the Empress Marie Louise had not made some exertion in his behalf. ' I believe,' replied the Emperor, ' tha » Marie Louise is, just as much a state prisoner as I am myself, except that more attention is paid to decorum in' the restraints imposed Upon her. I have always had • oecasfon to praise the eonduet of my good Lonise, and I believe that it is totally out of her power to assist me } moreover, slic is voting dnd timorous* It was, perhaps-, a misfortune to me, that 1 had not married a sister of the Emperor Alexander, as proposed to me by Alexander himself, at Erftirth. But there Were incouveniencies in that union, arising from her religion. I did not lilSe to alitAv a Russian priest to be the confessor of nry wife, as f considered that he Would have been a spy in theTlmil- leries for Alexander. It has been said that my union wilh Marie Louise wa » made a stipulation in the trcatv of peace with Austria, which is not tree. I should have " spurned the idea.

Wednesday night an inquest was taken at St. Bartholomew's Hospital, before Thomas Shelton, Esq. Coroner for London and Southwark, on the body of Alexander M'Gillivray, a native of Dundee. It appeared from the evidence, that the deceased belonged to the Fox packet, of Aberdeen ; that, after spend- ing Friday the 9th ultimo with some friends, he was endeavour- ing to pass along a rope from the Pierhead, London docks, to a lighter, from which he might have hailed the Fox, which was lying in the Hermitage chain. Unfortunately his hands slipped, and he, was precipitated from a height ofiwenty- ft- ur feet into the mud, receiving in his fall a severe blow on the superciliary ridge, over the left eye, which proved to be a fracture of the skull beyond the reach of surgical operation,— Notwithstanding the wound, he succeeded in getting into the lighter, where he lay till the morning, when a Custom- house t> oat took him out, and put him on board his own vessel,— After having washed the wound and changed his clothes, he walked to Middle Row, Ilolburn, in order to see his cousin, who went with him to a neighbouring apothecary's, where he was advised to apply at St. Bartholomew's Hospital. The deceased accordingly did so, was admitted, and after receiving for twelve days the assistance that his case required, he died on Tuesday morning, leaving a wife and two children to lament his untimely fate.

We linsten to lav before our readers a fe. w extracts from the eloquent Letter wbich Lord Erskine has just addressed to the Earl of Liverpool on the subject ofthe Greeks. We hail the appearance of this production as the harbinger of better fortune to the cause of that un- fortunate people. Religion and humanity have here guided the pen of this amiable and venerable nobleman, | t} ie; r jost go,,^ whose voice has so often and so successfully been already 1 - raised in behatt'of the oppressed ; and the heart that can read his powerful appeal unmoved must be torpid indeed. Oil the religious part ofthe community we are warranted in believing that it will produce a strong and durable impression. " I shall assume, without argument, from respect to your Lordship's understanding and knowledge, that the Greeks can by no possibility ( even if it were a desirable event) be brought to the condition of contented subjects, nor indeed to any pacific relations whatsoever with their tyrannous oppressors. They have already begun to organise themselves as a nation ; they are advancing among unexampled difficulties to maintain their independence, their successes encourage perseverance, and with the fortitude ami patience of Christians, they invoke the God of Battles, in their public proclamations, to support their cause. Such a resistance can surely no longer be con- sidered as a mere sedition, which, if left to itself, might ter- minate in submission and conciliation, and I have therefore assumed as a self- evident proposition that the Greeks can never more be subjects of the Ottoman Porte. They may, without the aid of other powers, be exterminated or scattered, \ but cannot again return to a state of subjection and peace.

C left Mar- seilles ; our company had increased to 35, and the ship flew like an" arrow over the waves.

On the following morning all I O _ - " 3- our companions, except a Captain in the French Navy and mvself, were overtaken by violent sea sickness. I felt irivself very languid, but on the third day was better again. I kept constantly on deck, and was pleased witp the Captain's endeavours to teach me various parts of his profession ; particularly I was delighted with finding tlie Sun's altitude at noon. In this manner vye passed bv Corsica, Elba, Sardinia, Sicily, and Malta, keeping close to the Coast of' Africa You may easily imagine how much these countries interested me when they have been of so much importance in modern times. The dew fell as heavily in this latitude, as if it rained, and was very painful to the eves. From the 30th of . March to April the 3d we had very stormv weather ; the ship was thrown sometimes high on the tops of' the waves, and sometimes in the deep abyss ; and for me this new spectacle, was very beautiful, but the. nights were very unpleasant. Tlie waves rolled over and over the ship, and our straw bed in the hold was wet through and through. Many of my friends. were again sick. Our dinner was really a laughable scene, as every one. scar- cely able to stand on his feet, rolled backwards and for- wards with liis spoon in his hand ; some fell down their whole length, and looked with a melancholy gaze on We met during these davs three vessels, town, and which was formerly t'. ie dwelling of tbe Iving.

At present the Greeks celebrate Easter, and we were invited to church, and received considerable honour. On the 16th, the Turks made a grand attack, but were driven back with loss. As We returned to our quarters, tired with our work, we received orders to repair to Corinth. " CORINTH, April 18.—' After a ride of ten leagues on a very patient mule, and a patriarchal bed for the night, in Agulits Basileus, I arrived in the widely cele- brated Corinth ; but unfortunately the whole city is des- troyed, and it is with difficulty the ruined houses are mailt to afford protection against wind and weather. AII the best situations are already occupied. This is the seat of Government, and us head is Prince Mauroeordato. A police is formed after the European manner, and pro- visions are distributed with method and order. The Go- vernment is very active, and has already formed one battalion on the French plan. It has cost much trou- ble to bring the different Chiefs in the Morea, who are numerous, and who acted, each for himself, to submit to the general government. They are of good families, eapli commanded an army of 1000 to 2000 men, and kept all the booty for themselves. Yet it appears as if the Government had now succeeded in combining their operations. There are at present 400 Germans, French, and Italians, in Corinth, but not one oft Item has a situation, though each receives a daily ration, and 26 Paras, about twopence. It is expected, how- ever, that a sacred battalion will be immediately orga- nized, when every one will be placed according to the testimonials he brings, and to his behaviour and know- ledge, and will receive pay in proportion to his situation.

The large boat was now lowered, every body sprang into it, for every body desired to be first on shore. We were received with a salute by the citadel, which we answered bv shouting Viva Graccia, and by firing our muskets. Our boat was surrounded by- people, and the Greek priests blessed us on landing. The people kissed and embraced us like brothers. We were con- ducted to the former dwelling ofthe Pacha, where we are all lying together on the floor. The city is entirely Isthmus. I went lip to the citadel, the Aero Corinth, ' which is situated on a very, high steep rock above the town. It is said the Turks buried here 1,700,000 Pias- i ties, but as vet not one has been found.

Oats particularly have suffered from the smut in many parts. No crop has received greater benefit from the rains and subsequent warm weather than the hops, which will nearly double our former expectations. Swdish turnips are a failing • crop, destroyed almost entirely by the dronglt and fly— mere convertible terms. Much of the Corn abroad dur- ing the rains has sprouted, and thev talk of a double crop of the hops, ripe and unripe.

Harvest became prettv general in thisdistrict about the 20th of the month, but has been much retarded bv tlid frequent fogs and licavv rains that have occurred ; si* that a deal of the crop is still to cut down, and but a smalt proportion of it carried to the stack yard. All kinds of crop, with very few exceptions, are dead ripe, and might have been in thestook more than eigiit days ago, had it been possible to have procured an adequate number of hands for that purpose. Owing to the warmness and hu- midity ofthe weather, wheat is reported to have sproutcil a little iu some situations, both before and since it was cut, but we hope it is not materially injured. Oats are now so ripe that a deal of them are dropping ofl'iiv the handling, and if unfavourable weather continue any time, or squalls of wind occur, the loss will be serious* Barlev and bear present, in many instances, a poor ap- pearance in the stock ; and it appears to be the general opinion amongst farmers that the price of them must start. There is scarcely a field to lie seen which could be called an average crop, many a one not exceeding two- thirds. of it, and not a few even considerably less. Oats stoolt rather better, though in most cases also short of an ave- rage hulk, but it is expected that both will yield well to the straw. Barley is a good deal mixed with half filled ears, the i fti ct of the late rains, which will occasion it large quantity of light grain. Green crops have thriven well during the month, and the second growth of olon.- r is better than could have been expected. Turnips have generally a fine appearance. Potatoes also look well, and we hear no complaints but they are sufficiently pro- ductive. It affords us pleasure to state that the sale of live stock has lately improved; within these few weeks good cattle have sold freelv at an advance of perhaps from ten to fifteen percent, but this is only the case with re- gard to the latter sorts, as tlie prices of inferior lean stock can hardly be quoted higher Grain scarcely sup- ports the prices current at the date of last report.

" Bui before I advance to tile manifest advantages which would follow from the independence of the Greeks, if estab- lished by our assistance, and the ease with which it might be accomplished, there is one branch of their sufferings that can- not but very deeply affect us; sufferings inseparable from from which we cannot but feel the most anxious wishes for their deliverance— I allude to the peculiar enormities which attend the system of slavery amidst the exasperations of Hi is cruel warfare; and as, in the religi- ous view of the subject, ]- maintained that all our national ex- ertions, for the progress of the Gospel were only as a drop in the ocean, when compared with the light of it extinguished by . the delusive dominion of the Turks, so I assert that the Negro Slave Trade was nothing in the scale of misery and de- basement against the horrors which, during this sanguinary contest, must continue for ever. What, my Lord, are the sufferings, dreadful and detest- able as they were, of almost a savage in the state of nature, like the unhappy African, whpn made the victim of this mer- cenary traffic— what were his sufferings when compared with those which are notoriously passing every day throughout tlie East? The simple abduction of women, aud the separation of parents from their children, by carrying them into captivity of any description, are inhuman outrages in the lowest con- ditions of existence ; but. how much more dreadfully do they act upon families in cultivated life? IIow inexpressible must be their pangs, when with all the more refilled feelings inspir- ed by civilization, brutal ravishment is the almost certain con- scijuence of abduction; the blood of unhappy infants often ! pouring out before their mothers, who suckled them at her j breasts, totf soon, perhaps, to be forcibly exposed to the assassin of her husband and her children. » ' Such abominations seldom or ever occurred in the Afri- can Slave Trade, detestable as it was The plea of necessity was for some time also so plausible on its side, from ihe exis- tence of British property in equatorial latitudes, where no other labour could be so readily obtained, that even a British Par- liament for a long time continued to sanction it, until the rious manner, for above 5,000 Turks fell under the 1 revengeful victorious swords of the Greeks, who wear j here, as in the whole of the Morea, the clothing and ! arms of their enemies. The Greeks have manly and beautiful countenances, a noble carriage, and firm well- formed bodies, but the Mainotes, the descendants ofthe Spartans, are distinguished by their warlike habits and ferociousness. With glowing eyes, and animated ges- tures, tliev point out the places where they struck their dagger to the heart of ssme tyrant.

There are three excellent harbours filled with ships of! war, constantly ready for sea.

We were introduced the following dav to the Senate, which, after receiving the letters our Colonel had brought from Corinth, commissioned lis immediate- ly to examine the fortifications ofthe city, and to give some pretty faces.

Many Greeks were present, and when the bell tolled we all sank on our knees, and I repeated, with a loud voice, [ agreeably to the wish of the others, the Lord's Praver, which seemed to have a great effect oil the surrounding i Greeks. On the following day, a Greek, who had been of some consequence, was buried. I assisted at the ce- remony with great attention, and observed that it gain- ed me confidence, As the Senate was in Argos, about 30 leagues from here, we were dispatched thither in two of burning rocket which new species which, cannot be extinguished. He intends to try them on the Turkish fleet, and to take us six as officers of artillery on board ship with him. I am rejoiced at the prospect of being engaged in a sea- fight, for I like to try all things. As little as I understand of ships, vet when it comes to boarding, I will assist with all my power, and perhaps may win a Turkish sabre. " Before you receive this letter, you will probably learn | from the Newspapers the result of the attack, and will know what we have done.

I wm NOT HEAR SUCH A CHARGE The gentlest animals which Providence has subjected to us. patient of labour, and licking the benevolent hand that feeds them, when maddened with terror and goaded by barbarous oppression, will change on a sudden all the characteristics of their original natures, and overthrow every thing in their course. To judge of what the Greeks, under good government, are capable of being, w- e have only to look buck to what they have been. Their pedigrees, in which we can trace so many great men who never should have died, ought to protect them from the Saracens, who cannot show iu all their escutcheons a single man who should have lived. " Our alliance with the Porte ought to have been long ago removed out of the way, as being unworthy ofthe British Go- vernment and people; and without contending, that we should i at once have resented by hostility their monstrous iniquities, yet, if not a man in England were prepared to second my opi- nion, I should assert, that it whuld become us to withdraw our Ambassador from Constantinople, and to reject such a banditti as our allies. The King of Great Britain ought not to be styled the brother of the Sultan, whilst the desolation of Scio and the butchery of the hostages are unatoned for. These au- thorised murders are not the act. of a civilized nation. ' The bear— on that day we departed for Argos by land, as j the other fishing boat, v ith our friends, had not yet arrived. " ARGOS, April 9.— We had hardly arrived here, and taken up our quarters in a ruined house, when the Commandant requested us to form a reconnoitring party towards Napoli di Komani. We all armed our- selves joyfully to the business. The Turks had made a sortie, but were soon driven back by the determined advance of the Greeks, and our small party, when they commenced firing at us from their batteries. I was standing on a rising ground examining the batteries with my spy glass, when a ball ploughed up the earth close before me, and covered me over and over'with dirt. This was followed by another, and then' a third. I probably attracted attention by my uniform and epaulets, When we had seen all the Turks re- enter, we returned to Argos, and the Turks, accompanied us a part of the voice of their blood,' like that of the first victim of violence, v.'. iv with cannon balls. We found, when we got back, cries unto God out of the ground,' aud the judgment of God ought to be ail example to the nations who worship him.— ' let them be fugitives anil vagabonds upon the earth.' " It has been for some liiue no secret that a Congress is to be held upon the Continent, where the subject ofthe Greeks cannot but come under consideration, and that ive are to be re- presented at it by ^ orne Minister of State. It was this which determined me, without a moment's delay, to write and to publish this Letter; because it would have been too late to make any useful appeal to your Lordship or the public, after we had taken our part, and perhaps concurred in measures which I could then only uselessly dissent from. If this Con- gress of Sovereigns and their Ministers is only to have for its object tbe renewed support of principles and projects already too notorious, and if, to avoid any incongruity or departure from the system hither acted upon, Turkey is to be sanctimo- niously upheld as a legitimate Sovereignty, and the Greeks ore to be sacrificed, or in avy manner compromised, on the ground that they are the subjects of the Porte, and bound by their alle- giance, though against their universal will, to obedience, and pence, I desire hereby to express my abhorrence of compre- hending this country in such an odious combination, and I am confident that the great mass of the British people will join, tne in my protest. My alarm as to the future, my I. ord, is justified by what is past— I'iie conduct of Russia is quite inex • plicable upon any other ground than that she has been recently at least acting in concert with the continental powers, and that the continental powers, and ourselves perhaps along w- itli them had taken no steps for any establishment fer the Greeks, nor were preparing to provide foi theiu any security whatsoever." that our friends had arrived, and our pleasure at meeting was very great. Among us is a French Coionel ( Count Jourdain Mantiptlli), a distinguished naval artillery offi- cer ; he has thlrtv- one wounds. Until the Government in Corinth has determined concerning us, he has been unanimously elected to be our Commander.— The following dav we went to Gala, and the whole garrison conducted us with great parade to the Com- mandant of the town, where we found the Senate of Argos. According to the custom of the East, we sat on carpets, and were hospitably entertained. The Senate told us to remain in Gala, till the Go- vernment of Corinth had appointed us a destination.— At present I have a little time to look about me with pleasure, ill this classical country. The town is of con- siderable extent, for everv house has a garden ; the houses, however are wretched clay huts Before the beginning of the war, Argos was destroyed bv lire. A cypress grove, however, in the middle of the town, was to me a compensation for all other wants. I entered it with a sacred awe, and came to the Temple of Ceres, which the Turks have converted into a mosque. The famous school of Pythagoras served the Pacha for his dwelling ) I saw also the ruins of an amphitheatre. I ascended to the castle, on thu bill, which commands the of age, and woe tp him who seeks to form a connection with another man's wife.

I beg of yon to encourage that So- ciety in Germany which supports the cause of the Greeks; bid them not tire in well doing.

Many hard battles must vet be fought before the harvest of freedom can be reaped into security." AGRICULTURAL RF. PORTS I'OR AUGUST. ENGLAND. The very sanguine expectations held out in our last report appear to have been most amplv verified. The weather has continued, through full three parts of the present month, the most beautiful, and adapted to gett- ing in the harvest, and indeed to every agricultural pur- pose, that could even he chosen, were it in otir power to choose. This is to speak generally, as most suitable to the end of a general report. The exceptions are, those heavy rains which, early in the present month, inundat- ed a great part of the midland northern counties, accom- panied by stonns which beat down the stoutest and best ofthe corn, rendering the operation of reaping vcrv la- borious and expensive, and inducing the risk of mildew and smut from unabsorbed moisture. In all the most productive districts, our grand dependence, the wheat crop, is safely housed, and the next article in rank for human subsistence, potatoes, is of equal promise with the crop of wheat, both in regard to quantity and quali The Lord Provost has received the following letteir from the Lord President of tbe Court of Session, which,, with the answer made thereto, we have the pleasure of laving before the public:— Cul- Mercury. Edinburgh, Aug. 28, 1322. Mr DEAR LORD, I am desired by ihe whole Judges of the Courts of Session^ Justiciary, Exchequer, and Jury Court, to express to your Lordship their warm approbation of the manner in which everv thing has been conducted 011 the part of the Magistrates anj Council on the present auspicious occasion. The arrangements adopted by them for the preservation of order do as much credit to their judgment, as the orderly but enthusiastic behaviour of the people does to the national char- acter We also beg leave to express our high admiration of the splendid style in which the Corporation tlid ihe honour, of Ihe country at the late city banquet, and, in particular, ofthe dignified manner in which 011 that, as on all other occasions, your Lordship supported the cha acter of Chief Magistrate of this great city. But after the decided and gratifying terms in which his Majesty was graciously pleased to express himself on those topics, it would ill become us to en. arge ou the sub- jeer. We should not, however, have done justice to our own feel- ings, nor to the merits of our respectable Magistracy, if wc had not thus shortly but emphatically expressed our sentilimits on the occasion. We have to request that your Lordship will permit these our sentiments to be made public, that we may have the satis- faction of doing honour to the Corporation in the eyes of their constituents. 1 have on ly to add, that I beg your Lordship will be per. suaded of the pleasure which it gives me to be thus made live organ of conveying to yoi. r Lordship those seuliluenis of my brethren. I have the honour to lie. my dear Lord, most faithfully vottrs, C. HOPE, Lord I'residenU ANSWER. City Chambers, Edinburgh, Aug. 28, 1822. Mr DEAR LORD, I have the honour, 011 the part of the' Magistrates and Coun- cil. to return their warmest thanks for the very handsome and flattering manner in which your Lordship and the other Judges ofthe Supreme Courts have been pleased tu intimate your ap- probation of their proceedings on the present auspicious 00- casion. The arrangements made hy the Magistrates for the recep- tion and entertainment of our gracious Sovereign were such a. appeared to ihem best calculated for the favourable display of that loyalty and attachment to his person which glowed in every breast; but they aie sensible that those arrangements, must have failed of their intended effect, had they no » been seconded hv ihe enthusiasm of their fellow- subjects, tempered as it was by that decent anil respectful behaviour, so sllittigly characteristic ofa virtuous and enlightened people. It lias ever been our anxious wish and earnest endeavour to merit the approbation of our fellow- citizens, and the favour- able testimony which your Lordship has conveyed to 11s, from a body so honourable and distinguished, must ever be con- sidered our highest reward. We have, therefore, still farther, to express our gratitude for the additional honour which your Lordship propose-, to confer 011 us, by making public tlw sen- timents which you have so feelingly expressed. For myself individually, and for the flattering, hut T fear much too partial compliment, which your Lordship and your honourable and learned brethren have been pleased to pay me, I can only offer my sincere and heartfelt thanks, 1 have the honour to be, wiih lire gieatest truth and regai d, My dear Lord, Your Lordship's most faithful anil obedient Servant. WILLI A M ARBUTONOT, Lord Provost. Bailey, Oats, and B' cans, are gi uod quly in sypie JUDGES AND TOWN COUNCILLORS, Our feliow- citizens have been much surprised by the publication of an extraordinary letter from the Judges of the Courts of Session, Justiciary, & c. to the Lord Provost, complimenting him upon the propriety of his arrangements during the Kings visit, and especially upon the dignified manner in which lie supported the character of first Magistrate at the Citv Banquet. We cannot discover what title thoie twenty Judges had to interpose their opinion on this occasion, more than any twenty individuals in the city. Nay, we must sav that we think they are the very last persons that should have intcrferred. During the last fortnight the civil authori- ties have necessarily been parties to many acts affecting the claims and interests of the'inhabitants. It is not impossible that they may be prosecuted at the instance of person? for their conduct in these proceedings, and that the Judges mav afterwards have to decide upon acts, to which they have thus prematurely affixed their appro- bation. What would be thought in England, were the- Judges there to step out of their official character to be- praise the Court of Aldermen ? The parties to this singular letter 11111.-, t have forgot that bis Majesty bini.- elf, through Mr. Peel, had expressed his approbation of the conduct ofthe public functionaries here, including the Magistrates, and that the King's favourable judgment, in a mutter of ceremony, does not require to be rein- forced by that of any score of his subjects. Courtesy might require something of this kind from the Ling, fist' certainly not from the Judges. We must say farther,. tlrnt if these Judges are satisfied with the arrangements alluded to, it is a satisfaction which, so far as we can learn, they do not share with many of tlie inhabitants of Edinburgh. The Banquet was oalled civic, though ex- cept in this, that it was given at the town's expence, almost any other denomination would have been more appropriate. It was crowded with nobles, functionaries high and low, and military officers; but saving the Town Council, very few of the citizens, in whose name it was riven, were thought worthy of seats at thetable. We should be glad to know why the Trades, the Mer- chants, and the Guildrv, were not called upon to name each- a- dozen of their members to receive tickets. Of the Writers to the Signet, who lent the use of their hall, only four were asked. There was not one Professor of any Scots University. But though the science and ta- lent of the country could be wanted; and though the civic bodies were represented bv their least respectable members— the fixtures of the Town- Council, room was found for such dignified guests as Mr. Blackwood the bookseller, and others of the sume stamp. Of the Ma- gistrates of other burghs, who had some reason to ex- pect a preference among strangers, not more than one, we believe, was invited. But we are not surprised that the Managers of rotten corporations, who judge of others by themselves, should treat one another with contempt. Such were the eulogised arrangements. But the object • of this piece of judicial blarney comes out at the close. " We have to request that your Lordship will permit these our sentiments to be made public, that me may have the satisfaction of doing honour to the Corporation in the eyes of their constituents." Who the constituents of the self- elected bmlv are, wc do not pretend to know. If the citizens of Edinburgh are meant, as constituents « non constituendo, we venture to think that their opinion of the Provost and his associates is made up, on grounds not to be affected bv a statement like this.— In this lauded Magistrate they recognise a placeman and dependant of the government— the buyer and seller of county votes far beneath their market Value. They see in him a man who went to London only a few months ago, not to promote the public good of the city, but to frustrate the wishes of his fellow- citwcns, by saddling them with a police system hateful to their feelings, de- rogatory from their rights, and prejudicial to their inter- ests. They see nothing in his recent conduct to do away the impression created by these acts. They dis- cover no great personal sacrifice in his sitting at the head of a table furnished at the city's expense, with a King and Nobles for his guests, even though he acquitted him- self in a dignified manner. They cannot forget what he has been, and what he has done, because he has re- ceived flattering; attentions from men high in office— be- es o cause he has been bepraised by Judges, ami knighted by Majesty Scotsman. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FROM FRENCH TAPERS. PARIS, Sept. 4 A private letter from Frankfort furnishes us with the following details :— " We lire much occupied here by the approaching Congress, and attempts are made to calculate its probable results. The system of the Austrian Cabinet is known, and it is naturally expected that it will again preponderate in the diplomatic assemblies of Vienna and Verona. It is to be presumed that every effort will be redoubled to maintain at any price the ex- isting system ; and that above all things a war in Europe will lie guarded against, particularly in the East. In a word, to give stability to ancient institutions, and to prevent innovation, is the Ministerial policv which animates, and which will con- tinue to animate the Diplomatists who are supposed to possess the greatest influence in the destinies of Europe. - » Tbe affairs of Spain and Portugal must necessarily embar- rass these intentions in some degree. If the events of the 7th of July at Madrid had taken another turn, much less embar- rassment would have been felt. But upon this important point reports are contradictory; on the one hand it is said that the same steps are taken against Spain which were taken two years ago wi^ h respect to Naples and Piedmont; but others do not wish, as is believed, that recourse should be had to such mea- sures, and it is agreed that in England there will be found many opponents to such a measure. It is added, that several Members of the Cabinet of St. James's are of opinion that dip- lomatic measures only should be taken with regard to the J* enlnsula. " With respect to Turkey, it is known that a great regulat- ing Minister considers it as an extended marsh, inhabited hy two descriptions of savage people. This is the expression which he uses in one of his- confidential letters directed to the borders of the Rhine. This Minister is decidedly of opinion that the- proposed European civilization, such as he understands it, is much to be desired ; but Russia is already so grei. t, and so close to us— how can we without danger furnish to her this this new temptation ? And the more so when we recollect what have been the views in this respect which have constantly direct- ed the Cabinet of St. Petersburg!!, before the advancement of the Emperor Alexander to the Throne ? " Il is to be presumed that Greece will be abandoned to her own resources in the least public manner. If she succeeds, it will be always time to introduce her into the general system of Europe. This plan will in addition have the advantage of taking from a great Northern Power the influence which she bad in Germany, ar. d which she must inevitably lose when it is pciceived that she abandons solely to their courage and per- severance the religious cause of the Greeks. " The death of the Marquis of Londonderry does not, as ap- pears, portend any modifications in the great projects which are about to undergo discussion. It is not wished to assume an air which would give to his death such a personal importance, and all, it appears, is determined. " 1st. To declare firmly aud openly against Revolutions of every species. " 2d. To confide to Austria the guarantee of Italy and of Germany. " 3d. To agree to a secret Article relative to Spain. " 4th. To renew those guarantees given to the other States of Etirope. " 5th. To declare themselves neuter, at least ostensibly so, in the affairs of Turkey. fith. To invite the different Powers to abstain from an open war with Spain. " 7th. To agree to some generally repressive measures with regard to the Press. " Such are the ideas generally entertained in Germany re- lative to the new Congress, but men who think, feel little in- quietude ; they know that there are in acts— that there are in circumstances, an evidence and a force against which all the resources of diplomacy and all the efforts of power must fail," BAYONNE, Ationst 27.— The accounts which wc . . pi have received of Qtiesada's expedition, confirm the state- ment that lie had projected a junction with the Trappist, • who, on the 16th, was at Balbastro, in Arragon, where his troops committed the greatest excesses for 24 hours, in consequence of the resistance made to him. The junction was to take place at Tafailla, and would have been effected but for a sudden movement of the Eiu- pecinado, who, however, had no orders to pursue the Trappist: but only the factious dispersed at Sigucnza who had retreated towards Calatavud. In fact the Empccinado learnt in this city on the 18th, the pro- jected junction of the Trappist and Quesada, and re solved to march to Balbastro, which the first had left the same day, taking the road to Huesca ; he put in re- quisition all the carriages and conveyances that hi? met with, and on the 21st at dav- break overtook his ad- versary, who most certainly did not expect to meet him. The Trappists were surprised, and terror seized them ; the Empecinado completely routed them in less than an hour, killed 200, made a great many prisoners, and took GO horses, the baggage, the treasure, and a part of the pillage which they had carried off from Balbastro. The Chief himself was nearly taken, and only escaped in the confusion. Meantime Qnesada reinforced the posts on the wholechainof the mountains from Ochagavia to Tafailla, the cavalry pushed its reconnoisances as far its Sadava, three leagues from Ayerbe, and Col. Cabra, with one thousand two hundred men, made an incursion on the 24th into the valley ofBastan, into which he had before penetrated, threatening at the same time Yrun and St. Sebastian, where great apprehensions were felt. On the other hand, the Junta circulated its Proclama- tions through the whole country on this side of the Ebro, the invasion of which, doubtless, seemed to them very e.. sv. By this movement Qttesada had placed himself between the troops of Tabucncrt anil tts- rjc of. Guipuscoa, which already observed him ; but the rout of the Trappist has, without doubt, disconcerted his plans, for the troops of Col. Cabra have fallen back upon Irati, aban- doning the valley ofBastan, from which they have car- ried oft" arms, ammunition, and provisions. The movements of the bands of the three provinces towards Navarre, shows that the Defenders of the Faith projected some great blow, but at present they seem all to have returned to their positions. No more troops have vet arrived in these provinces to reinforce the Con- stitutionalists, except the militia of Toro, which was already at Vittoria on the 24- th, and 200 horse, which Espinosa brought with hint ; but it is certain that two battalions would arrive at Vittoria on the 26th or 27th, and two other at St. Sebastian, coming by sea from Gallicia. The bands and guerillas of the two parties continue to desolate Navarre and the three provinces. The follow- ing is the Proclamation which has been clandestinely printed at Bavotine, aud circulated by the Defenders of Faith, in Spain : " NA'VARRESI? ! — The Provisional Junta of Government, pe- netrated with the heroic sentiments that animate you in favour of Religion, the King, and the Country, exhorts you, for the second time, eagerly to hasten, inspired hy these sublime ideas, to defend the greatest cause that our ancestors were acquainted with. The impious Constitutional System directly attacks Religion and the King, and consequently, a horrible anarchy, with all the symptoms of a bloody revolution, threatens us from such a Government. This ruinous Code, the work of treason and crime, offers us by experience a picture represent- ing all kinds of excesses. The history of nations', and afflicting events of our days, agree in demonstrating this truth. " If, the first time that we called upon you under the ban ners of the King, arms were wanting, contrary to our solemn promises, you must attribute this wholly to the machinations of the evil- minded, whoby meansofgold were able to check for a moment the rapid progress of our first designs ; but. the ma- nieuvres and intrigues of the perfidious Liberals being now baffled, we can insure the realily of all that we promise.— We have in our power abundance of arms of all kinds, am- munition, money, clothing, and every tiling necessary to triumph over our enemies. We garrison an inexpugnable fort, which will serve as a support and bulwark to the arms of bis Majesty ; and also as a prison for those who declare themselves the enemies ofonr cause. We have 4,000 infantry with 300 cavalry, who, in their first essays in war, have been the ad- miration and terror of their opponents, NAVAIIHESSK ! — The insults suffered by our holy Religion, which is publicly outraged hy the arms of the- Liberals, excite terror. The proclaitners of Ihe most perfidious of men cry aloud —' Down with Religon ! the Devil for ever." f'Muera la Religion ! y inun el demonio.' J " The soldiers' of the Royal atmv will bear testimony to this truth. The people of Erro and Viscaret deplore the profana- tion of their churches and the sacn'legeous robbery of the sacred utensils, caused try these Vandals of Spain. " The dreadful violation of Artajona and Anorbe, the pillage of Vidangoz, Azcona, fturgoyen. Valle de Erro, and many other places ; the assassination of the innocent people of Mu- niain and Puente, who were put to death without being allowed the spiritual comfort of penitence, are authentic proofs of the atheism that inspires them. And iu sight of all this, will one of you hesitate a moment to take part with us ? The hour of struggle is come, and those who do not issue forth to the com- bat will not be worthy to retain the nifmes of Catholics, of Spaniards, and Navarresse. The Standard of the Faith is un- furled ; and the banners of the King are every where display- ed. Hasten, then, to join tliem; and, bravely fighting for our captive King. Ferdinand, this faction of impious Re- publicans will instantly vanish, who endeavour to deprive us at once of eternal felicity and of temporal happiness, by plung- ing us into an abyss of incalculable evils. Unite without delay, and you will give to Spain a day of glory and renown, which will descend to the. latest posterity, with the immortal names of those who have defended, at the hazard of their lives, the cause of God, of the King, and of the country.

HAMBURGH, Aug. 21— The following is an extract of a private letter from Algiers, of June 24-:—- " On the 1st of this month the combined Belgic and Spanish squadron arrived in the roads, bringing the Ultimatum of the Spanish Government relatively to the sum which the Regency of Algiers claims from Spain. It also brought orders to the Spanish Consul immediately to quit Algiers. The Day, in answer, declared that he would not change his resolution, and that he would insist to the last moment that Spain should pay its debt, which together with the Compound interest, amounts to 1,300,000Spanish dollars. The Consul desired, in conse- quence, leave to embark with his suite, which was positively refused him. The squadron having withdrawn for a time, appeared again in the day of the 6th. The Spanish Consul then desired leave to go on board the Admiral's ship, in order to have a conference with the Commander- in- Chief, which was granted him, and it was the Captain of the Port himself who was charged with the office of taking him on board in an Algerine boat. Two boats sent from the Admiral's ship having approached that in which the Consul was, he leaped into one of them before his conductor had time to hinder it : when he had thus escaped, the squadron sailed and with- drew. This sudden departure of the Consul caused great sensation here. A few days after this a Spanish frigate nrrircd, bringing to the Consul of the Netherlands an invitation to take under his protection the Spaniards be- longing to the suite of the Consul, and to claim the effects of the Consulate. But the Dev having opposed this, the English Consul took the Consulate of Spain under his protection. " The Belgic Admiral has signified to the Consul of his nation that it was only by the desire of the Spanish Admiral that he had joined with his fleet the squadron of the latter, but that he had no order to take him ( the Consnl) on board. " The Dey of Algiers has long contemplated a war with Spain ; but the present moment is not favourable, R great part of his naval force being employed against the Greeks; there are only three or four corsairs in the port. " The plague commits dreadful havock here. From 50 to 60 persons die daily ; hitherto the contagion has been confined to the city, and has not yet reached the neighbouring towns. " Our fortifications, which suffered greatly from the bombardment of the English and Dutch fleets, are en- tirely repaired." AUGSBURG, Aug 25.— The Ailgcmcine Zeitung has an article from Semlin of the 14th August, which gives extracts of letters from Bitoglia, Seres, and Joannina, up to the 3d of this month. It is now not the 8th of July, as was at first repeatedly asserted— nor even the 14th, as was subsequently stated— that the great battle took place, in which the armv of Chourschid Pacha was destroyed—( it seems, says the Ailgcmcine Zeilung, to have been on some day between the 15th and 21st); it is no longer at the Passage of the Thermopylae that it was fought, and there is no longer any mention of the tales of 2000 Mr. mote women enrolled by the Archbishop Her- man o, or of the children ten years of age, who rolled stones upon the ' 1 urks from the lops of the mountains. The following is the new versions ; but as it proceeds from the same sources as those we had before, the anterior variations are not calculated to give it much credit ; it is remarkable that m some points it comes near to the nar- rative in* the Austrian Observer.. The correspondent, however, promises to rectify what may be found in the sequel to be destitute of authenticity ; we may, there- fore expect a farther version. Chourschid Pacha hail really passed the Thermopylae with, only a part of his army, and lie had proceeded with the other part towards Salonica to reach Lepanto. At first he really obtained some advantage, which in- duced the Greeks to tnke the prudent resolution to occupy a stronger position on tire lake or river Sperchios ( now Akinmann).

" Gazette Extraordinary of Columbia, Monday, June 24, 1822. " Government has just received accounts from the head- quarters of the Liberator, at Pastos, dated June 8, inclosing the capitulations concluded by the Liberating army lo the Spaniards, who defended Pastes and Quito, in virtue of which those places were occupied— the first by his Excellency the Liberator, President, on the said 8th of June, and the second by General Suore, the 25ih of May. The brilliant marches made from Bombona and Pichincha, preceding those capitula- tions, obliged the enemy to surrender, and the liberators of the South were as generous as they were valiant. '* The Columbian Guards have augmented their reputation, and the warriors of Pichincha have manifested that their love for liberty was paramount to all other considerations. Tho war of the South has terminated with glory to the arms of Columbia. A million of Americans are thus added to the family of the Republic ; and the Conqueror of a hun- dred battles, the generous enemy of Spain, the creator of Co- lombia, the immortal Bolivar, hasadded new lustre to his im- tv was loudly cheered, but we did not observe that de- gree of enthusiasm which was evinced at his embarkation. His Majesty ascended the stairs with a firmstep, carry - ing his hat in his hand, and bowing occasionally to the spectators. As he was about to enter his carriage, he turned dbout to Commodore Paget and the other officers, who had accompanied him to the door, and, waving his hand, exclaimed, " God bless you all." The royal carriage immediately drove off amid loud cheering. The suite of his Majesty, with the luggage, & c. were conveyed to town in other carriages. His Majesty, we are happy to say, looked extreme- ly well, and seemed in good spirits. round's, for a burglary at ITadleigh hamlet, amidst an immense concourse'of spectators, of w hom, we . wish we had not to say, a great proportion were females, and mafly of these' eviriced by their behaviour a most disgust- ing want of feelirig.

Unfortun- ately indispensable bv the lamented death of the Marquis of Londonderry. Without any more particular allusion to them, we can onlv say that no definitive arrange- ment has yet taken place.— Courier af Friday. It is not very generally known that a difference has long subsisted between the Lord Chancellor and Mr. Canning. It was confirmed, if not increased, by what fell from the Lord Chancellor in the last debate On the Roman Catholic Peers' Bill, and the atack was repelled and repaid bv Mr. Canning, on the subject of the Mar- riage Act, a speech which never appeared in the news- papers. This disagreement has led many to suppose that it was very improbable that Mr. Canning would come into office while Lord Eldon remained on the Wool Sack. We are sorry to* learn the indisposition of the Duke of Wellington. His Grace has been confined to his bed for two days. He got up, however, on Thursday after- noon, and it is understood that he was considerably better yesterday. The public were lately infortricd that the Marquis of Ccmvngham left - Edinburgh a few days after his Majesty's arrival in that capital, to repair to the Marchioness, who, it was affirmed, was sojourning among the solitary woods and dells of Slane. Our readers will, probably, notwithstanding, be but little surprised to hear that the Marchioness of Conyngham has not been in Ireland this vear. Her Ladyship, as might be expected, now re- sides in her splendid mansion in Hamilton- place, Picca- dilly. From this fact, we may eonjecture that the object in dispatching the Noble Marquis, holding as he does so important a situation in the Royal Household, must have been different from what was at first stated ; but whether it related to our foreign affairs, as some im- agined, or to events connected with his Majesty's- recep- tion in Scotland, wc do not pretend to sav. In the latter case, the subject would seem to belong to the Home Department.—- Morn. Chron. On Monday the Duke of Sussex visited Newcastle, an which occasion, as Grand Master Mason of Englar. d, his Roval Highness laid the foundation stone of the nevy building of the Literary and Philosophical Society of that town. The stone was laid with masonic solemnity, and the different Lodges afterwards dined in the Assembly Rooms, where they were honoured with the presence of the Duke of Sussex, and a numerous and respectable company of gentlemen of tbe town and neighbourhood.

ABERDEEN: SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 1822. cusslons concerning the new arrangements m the Cabinet have, it is- reported," profed injurious to h\ s Majesty's health, xt pnrtv striving to force Mr. CANNING into of- fice in direct opposition to the King's inclinations. How far the report is well founded it is not for us to say ; but some of the ultra loyal papers have, upon this subject, indulged in language not a kittle extraordinary, as our rentiers will see tri> m the following extract from the Sew 7 lutes. At no former period wn* powerful and commanding elo- quence so decidedly called for on the Ministerial side of the House of Commons an at present. The public expect, and have a right to expect, great talents to be there displayed ; and those who resist, if any do resist, this just demand Of the most enlightened part of the nation, doit under a very heavy and seriou? responsibility. Ministers have not now, as in former times, to defend in Parliament.- their own'conduct, as servants ofthe KING and of the nation ; they have to defend the KlNO and the nation against principles which would rob the one of his Throne and the other of its Constitut ion. We need poiiH no farther hack than to the history of the last Session, to shew that the conflicts between the rival parties in the House of Commons are no longer respecting matters of practical policy which leave untouched the Constitution, and the present order of things. The principal points at issue between them are—- Whether the most comprehensive and vital changes shall or shall hot be made in the Constitution, and the habits and re- gulations of society ? Under the name of reform'Me intro- duced principles which go directly to revolution. The opini ons distinctly advanced by more than one speaker; have been precisely those held by the individuals on th. e Continent, who st) le themselves Liberals and Cohs'iluti. onaUsls, but who. have all a - deadly, hatred of England, and a supreme contempt of, tiie. British Constitution. Whether these Continental politi- cians are right or wrong in their judgment; we shall not now dispute ; they are. however, consistent in thinking our political and social ^ y « tem fundamentally defective : and their friends i> j the English House of Commons Unless they are grossly inconsis- tent, must drink the same. But, in truth, there is no such inconsistency to be found in the views or projects of these hitter Gentlemen. According to th. ise views and projects', sthe com- position and character of the House are to be wholly changed; and every one knows that this would wholly Change the com- position and character of the Government; the most sweeping alterations are to be made in the revenues and constitution of the Church ; numerous l& ws are to be blotted out ofthe code, and to be replaced by others of diametrically opposite charac- ter ;, and our foreign policy is to be altogether reversed, it is to consist of hatred of all " legitimate" Governments, and'patron- age and support of all tjie Revolutionists in the world. It will moreover be seen by those who examine the sentfinents in which these vast and portentous changes are recommended, that a change, not less vast < vw! portentous, is to be made iu the religious, moral, and social conduct of the community at large. Our present business is with the fact ; and therefore we do not say whether these changes ought or ought not to take place. The thinking and knowing p* rt of the nation, however, bo- liever, that tho. State could gain nothing from them but irretrie- vable ruin, and it is aware . that those whose especial- duty it is to oppose them in the House of Commons can- only do it suc- cessfully by an overpowering eloquence— an eloquence that might defend and illustrate the theory on'which the Constitu- tion stands— must anatomise the whole body of- society, to shew the connection and effect Vfhich the members have with and upon each other— and must analyse human nature, to shew the occult, complex, and eccentric workings of it, which form the necessity for our laws and institutions. It must refute captivating and plausible errors with profound but unpalatable truths ; and must tranquillize boisterous passion with concilia- tory mildness and calm dignity. That nothing but eloquence of the very highest order tan do with this, needs no proof. Mr.' CANNING once remarked that it gave him pleasure to see the Radical orators in Parliament ; as however gigantic rhev might elsewhere be. they were shrunk into their proper dimensions. This is only correct when they have for opponents such men as Mr. CANNING. Jt is true, that " Pygmies are pygmies still, though placed on Alps hut then the idea of their diminutiveness arises altogether from comparison. Take the giants out of the Ilouse of Commons, and leave only the dwarfs and the men of middle stature, and the latter will become giants. Leave the fantastic schemes and wiid invectives of BuKfifirr to be refuted by a plain man of business, and they w ill pass for grand and profound truths, and the Baronet will become as huge within doors as without. It is not the least benefit which the nation derives from the pre. sence of Mr. CANNNING in ttie House of Commons, that, it keeps the rival orators in their proper bulk and gradation, and thus restrains their influence within due limits. The influence of Parliamentary eloquence is not confined within the walls of . Parliament; its lightnings flash there, but they illuminate the whole empire. A vast portion of even the intelligent members of the community owe their due undertand- ing ofthe question of lieforni to the speeches of Mr. CANNING. How many weavers have not. these speeches confirmed in their faith ! — how many backsliders have they not recalled !- and how many recruits have they not added to the phalanx of the Con- stitution ? A Mint- try which is provided with every requisite for office except brilliant oratory, is but half provided ; and { twill never be able to carry into effect the best schemes, or to resist the worst, if opposed by the enchantment of eloquence, if this be true in the ordinary state of human affairs, how much more so is it, at a time when the minds of men almost through- out the world are filled with the most erroneous and dangerous To the EDITOR cf& e ABSRISEEN CHRONICLE.

The vast number of tents, of which there were about seventy on the ground, some of Che owners, we learn from distant parts ofthe country, present to many a temptation too strong for resistance : and as was- exhibited last night, the consequence is, quamls and fighting ensue, calling for the interference of the police, which we hope to see exerted, in order to repress or prevent such disposition to riot and dis- order. THE UNITED MEETING. On Tuesday, the United Meeting of the Counties of Aber- deen, Forfar, Banff", and Kincardine, commenced here, and " continued for the three days following. The Meeting was numerous and brilliant, comprising many families and per- sonages of rank and distinction* The splendid Now Rooms in Union Street were opened on the occasion, and were uni- 1 versally esteemed, one of the most complete and elegant estab- lishments of the kind in the kingdom. These Room-, with their superb- furniture, th'e Tea and Card Rooms, Billiard Rooms, Vestibule, Saloon, and Anti- chambers, were justly the admiration and delight of all present* The Lustres in the B « ll Room are uncommonly handsome, and the suite « f Rooms, when shewn off to advantage, can hardly in point of elegance and effect be surpassed, while the fine magnificent proportions of the Banqueting Room are such, as to afford ample accommodation for the largest company which may generally be expected, not less than about 300 in number.— The Public Dinners, which Were furnished by Anderson and Dempster, in good stylevaud taste, as well as a superb Break- fast. given on Thursday^ orning, and the Balls, were nnme* rously attended, by a brilliant and fashionable assen blage of from 150 to 200, who were highly gratified with the gay and j. of Mr. M DONALD'S performances ; splendid scene, rendered still more attractive, by the great attention and excellent arrangements of the STEWAHJMS present, and the Hon.

I Aug. i<; Aug. lo 75 The u. ost formidable enemy that our Ministers have to en- counter is, not want of confidence in their- personal merits, or opposition to their policy, but abstract opinion on the theory and principles of the Constitution, and the structure of socie- ty. Their warfare lies amidst metaphysical casuistry and sophis- try, and they must conquer, ttoi by deeds, but words. Theymust by eloquence, for they cannot by measures, reclaim the deluded, reanimate the faithful, make, lire foundations of the Constitu- tion as visible as the Constitution itself; render the necessity for the existence of the Government unchanged as palpable as the necessity for the existence of a Government; and render all the cramps and holdings of the fabric of socieiy visible to the eyes, and palpable to thehands- ot the very multitude. If the ready command of a profusion of words were sufficient to constitute a great Parliamentary Orator, the claim of Mr. CANNING to that honourable distinction, must be held unquestionably good. He can jest with j the painful and dangerous maladies of our species, to the Lord possessed, and he shall to- morrow refute sophisms, j { nfinite anmsen) ellt of his admirers ; and his comparison and produce, conviction in the minds of the loyal majo- j of Yorkshire personified to Niobe, was r. tv of ttie Commons House, just as successfully.— j plamled 1) v t. j9 Liverpool cheerers as unct Nearly forty years have elapsed st nee the great Earl of ; ^ the pulll; c expect in a Statesma CHATHAM lv. fin- mcd us, that the majontv or the Com- mons were just a$ easily transferred bv a Minister to his successor, as an India Hond or anv species of Stock : end we do not know that as yet, the transaction would row be attended with mpch more difficulty than vvhen Iris Lordship made the communication in the: House IY? rs.

From various partsof the country we learn, t-! i at considerable loss \ has l) een sustained. Houses have been partly unroofed ; stacks of corn partially, and in- some instances, wholly thrown dow n, and the sheaves scattered to a great distance ; while some large trees have been blown down, and torn up by the roots. ' We regret to learn, that a most destructive fire took place on Wednesday last, at the Farm of Savock of Deer, by which the greater part ofthe Crop in the Stack Yard, and the whole of the Farm Offices were destroyed. By thN accident, which was caused by a spark from the ashes carried out of the kitchen, Mr. BREBM'H, the tenant, has lost about 400 Bolls of Grain ; and we are sorry to hear, he was not insured. We are surpris- ed that Farmers do not guard against such a Calamity, by in- suring their property, which can be done for a mere - trifle.— We have seen a very favourable Scheme by the North British Fire Office, for insuring Stack Yards and Farm Stock ; bv which, for an annual payment of less than 15s. a crop valued at £ 500 may be insured. " KIN TO RE, Sept.. 6, 1825. < l It is difficult to conceive the joy and enthusiasm with which the intelligence of the Birth of an Heir to the Noble Family of KIN TORE was received in this Burgh, and in the Parish and neighbourhood. As soon yesterday as the Birth of Lord IN- VERURY was announced, the resident Magistrates here, and the Earl of KJNTORK'S Tenants, in the parishes of Kintore and Kemnav. joined by the Farmer Society of Kintore, who made a splendid appearance, assembled in Fraser's Inn, to the sprightly note of the Bagpipe, and the merry glass went round, with many a health to Lord KINTORE, her Ladyship's speedy and complete recovery, atrd grace and growing to the young Lord. Neither were the other branches of the Family for- gotten. At the Town Ilouse, abundance of Punch and Porter enabled those whom the inn could not contain to join with their good wishes on the happy occasion, while blazing Tar Barrels and Voilies of Musquetry were not spared", as demons- | trations of the interest which the whole neighbourhood took in the happiness and welfare- of the Family* I t was live o'clock this rooming ere the- parting glass was called for, when the wholeseparated, delighted with the occasion . which bad brought them together, and rejoiced to have such an opportunity of testifying their regard for their Noble Friend."' On Friday se'ennight. the Earl of Kin tore's Tenants fn' the Town and Parish of Inverury, and in the Parish of Keith- hall. on hearing that Lady Kintore had been safely delivered of a son and heir, ordered a supper to be prepared at Thomson's Inn in Inverury, where they assembled in theeveninig to testify, their joy on so happy an occasion, drinking . to the health and happiness of the Noble Karl and Countess, to the young Lord Irtvernry, and to every branch ofthe family. The night was spent with the greatest harmony and conviviality, all warmly expressing the most sincere pleasure at the'eause of their meet- iug, ami the greatest respect and attachment to their kind and indulgent Landlord. The crowds of people collected in the street, and round the bonfires in the neighbourhood, were plentifully regaled with porter and whisky punch. TO THE KINOES MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY.

Lord Lftrerpool. it seems, has not only subdued t. ie preju- dice of the highest Personage o>" the realm against Mr. Canning, but he has likewise eon- triced to soften down the personal feels, ings against Mr. Canning, as a coadjutor, entertained by the IiOrd Chancellor Eidotr. We understanil the conferences be ™ tween the high cornending parties were iwrrernitting during Saturday arid Sunday, and that it was ivot until yesterday* morning that his Majesty could be prevailed upon to see the indispensible necessity tor calling in the aid- of Sir. Canning,, to prevent the rickety fabric of Administration from crumbling to pieces—. Mom. Chron. A messenger has been dispatched to Mr. Canning, who, we believe, is on a visit to his brother- in law, tine Duke of Port- land ; much preliminary arrangement mu% t precede the Hon* Gentleman's fin al relinquishment of the Governiriet> t of Indi. i, but the interest that prevailed in opening a way for Mr. Canning into the Cabinet, wiii no doubt succee'd irvovercoming all minor difficulties. The candid declaration of the Right Hon. Gen-* tleman himself, at Liverpool, of his willingness to accept office, warrants us in supposing thut every facility will bo afforded !>/ him for completing the necessary arrangements.— lb. The conflagration of Jtssy, in Moldavia, is fully confirmed. The appointment of « - a new Hospodar, and th- e apparent settle- ment of all existing differences, had induced many Boyars to re- turn to their possessions in that principality ; " trade revived, and all announced peace and prosperity, wlteu, in the night of the 10th of August, the streets suddenly resounded with furi- ous yells, and every house was forced open and plundered by the Janissaries, who had marched back unknown to the inha- bitants. In a short time they proceeded fiora pillage and all its concomitant excesses to wanton destruction, and the town pre- sented one universal blaze:—" At the departure of the cou- rier," says an account dated from Sucz xwa, on the Moldavian frontier, " the number of houses destroyed by the conflagration was estimated at twenty thousand ! It was feared that those which had hitherto escaped would share the same fit?.—- Tbts intelligence is unfortunately official, and we expect morn, detailed particulars every moment. ' Fill ( hon we are lost in conjectures respecting so surprising and so deplorable a catas- trophe." Nothing is yet definitely known as to the new Ministerial arrangements. Ttie Ear l of Liverpool still insists on the ne- cessity of Mr. Canning's return to office, and the Lord Chan- cellor. it is said, has withdrawn his opposition to the measure; but the repugnance in a higher quarter is not yet overcome.— Indeed we are of opinion that hi* Majesty would prefer a Whir Administration to one with Mr. Canning at its head. —^ Stav. The Dutch mail brings papers of Saturday's date, in whioh it is stated that, by a ministerial rescript, all secret societies, including even freemasons, have been prohibited in Russia.--*. Letters from St, Peiersburgn say, that every person iu offu'e must appear before his superior to declare that he withdraws for ever from the orde » , on pain of losing his place. It ii stated that, besides this every freemason sh. dl engage in writing, that, so long as he remains in Russia, he will have no intercourse with any seem aum- iy either in put of Uit: em- pire.,
